Prisoners who have committed a wide range of serious crimes will be allowed out into the community when Downview re-opens as a rehabilitation prison later this year.
Downview, in Sutton Lane, close to Banstead, was closed as a women's prison last October, but is due to re-open for 355 adult men - mainly from Greater London - as a closed Category C resettlement prison in the autumn.
The decision to change the prison was taken "as there is significant surplus accommodation within the female estate", according to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).
A spokeswoman said: "The design and location of Downview makes it suitable to be a closed Category C resettlement prison which is focused on helping offenders - particularly those who have been serving longer sentences - prepare for release.
"We have reviewed the settlement prison network to ensure that prisoners in every area will benefit from the Transforming Rehabilitation reforms by having access to continuous rehabilitative service throughout custody and into the community."
Resettlement prisons are designed to help prisoners, particularly those who have been serving longer sentences, prepare for release.
As part of this, some prisoners are able to go out to training or work from the prison.
Last month, the MoJ submitted a planning application to Reigate and Banstead Council to build a new education centre at the prison.
It has said staffing levels are still being finalised but will "be in line with other similar prisons".
The MoJ emphasised that Downview would not be an open prison and there are no plans to "remove or downgrade any perimeter security".
The spokeswoman added: "Prisoners will not be able to abscond.
"Any release will only be granted under the terms of the new tighter released on temporary licence (ROTL) arrangements."
The MoJ said prisoners will only be allowed out for a specific purpose, such as gaining work experience, and they will have to wear GPS electronic tags "when the technology becomes available".
When deciding on whether to release prisoners on ROTL, governors must consider whether it represents unacceptable risks of harm, reoffending and absconding, the impact on the victim and public confidence in the administration of justice.
The MoJ said that in 2012, there were around five occasions out of every 100,000 releases when prisoners were arrested on suspicion of committing another offence.

South Africa is one of the world's 'mega diverse' countries because of its biological riches.
Giant bullfrogs, wild dogs, wattled cranes, oribi antelope, humpback dolphins, riverine rabbits, blue swallows, yellow-billed oxpeckers, honeybadgers, rhinos, grasslands, river systems ... if there's a species or ecosystem in trouble, the odds are good that the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) is involved in efforts to save it.
Founded in 1973, EWT has become a very well respected South African conservation organisation. Its initial work was on individual species that were critically endangered, vulnerable or threatened. Its logo, a red footprint, is that of one of the first animals it focused on – the cheetah.
Since then the Endangered Wildlife Trust has considerably expanded its work to helping protect the often vulnerable ecosystems in which these species live.
EWT's mission is now biodiversity conservation.
The trust, based in Johannesburg, has also expanded its physical area of focus over the years, quite simply because ecosystems and animals don't recognise human-made boundaries.
Most of its work is in southern Africa, but the EWT also works for endangered wild animals and ecosystems as far away as Kenya and Uganda, and collaborates with other projects in countries like Tanzania and Sudan.
At any given time, EWT is running between 80 and 90 projects, employing up to 85 people.
The trust has had several notable successes. Far fewer large birds like cranes and bustards are colliding with powerlines thanks to 'flappers' that EWT have helped place on problematic lines. Power utility company Eskom has also insulated exposed conductors to reduce bird electrocutions.
EWT was also one of the first bodies to set up community conservation projects – working with people where they live to address environmental problems specific to them, instead of only focusing on wild animals and protected areas.
The monitoring work they have done – on the flight patterns and ranges of vultures and secretary birds, for example – has resulted in a far greater understanding of the issues facing threatened animals.
Much of their work involves finding solutions where human activities clash with wildlife. For 10 years now, the Endangered Wildlife Trust has been working at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and, more recently, at King Shaka Airport outside Durban, to prevent birdstrikes.
Those involved keep a discreet distance, so you'll probably never see them as you land or take off, but handlers with dogs (border collies and springer spaniels) keep birds away from runways.

Did you know?
Worcester's good light and scenic landscapes have made it a favorite location for film shoots.
In Worcester, gliding is possible all year round, owing to the fact that it's one of the few places in the world where thermic, ridge and wave soaring conditions can be experienced at one site.
In summer, arid, hot and windy conditions in Worcester induce thermals providing some of the best conditions for soaring in the Cape. Once air-borne, either by winch or tug aircraft, and at the correct altitude, pilots seek out the core of the thermal, circling higher and higher until they experience uninterrupted vistas of the vine-covered valleys below.
Around Worcester the juxtaposition of the mountain ranges has the effect of creating variable wave lift conditions. In winter, a cold front, bringing north-westerly winds, precipitates high mountain lee-waves, allowing pilots, despite the lack of thermic lift, to go ridge riding and wave soaring.
The alternating up and down draughts, produced along the mountain ranges, generate wave patterns consistent enough for pilots to travel hundreds of kilometres without any loss of altitude. A spectacular example is the run from the Brandvlei Dam, over Villiersdorp and Elgin, all the way to Hangklip, near Kleinmond in the Overberg.
Here, subject to ATC clearance, aircraft achieve uncommonly high altitudes, allowing pilots to fly out over the Atlantic Ocean, enjoy panoramic views of the entire Cape Peninsula, and re-enter the wave to gain height for the return trip back to Worcester.
Gliding in the Western Cape is not only for qualified pilots. The Cape Gliding Club, based at Worcester airfield, offers air flight experiences (AFEs). An AFE lasts about 30 minutes and the scenery is so incredible you won't want to come down. It's the ultimate airborne escape; an out-of-this-world adventure that'll make your adrenalin soar.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Cape Gliding Club
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
How to get here
From Cape Town, drive north along the N1 through to Paarl. Drive through Paarl, and take the Huguenot toll tunnel to Worcester. Alternatively, take the Du Toitskloof Pass which is roughly 11km longer, but very scenic.
Best time to visit
Worcester offers exciting soaring conditions throughout the year. Each season provides its own visual delights – green farmlands in summer and snow-capped peaks in winter.
Around the area
Kleinplasie Living Museum is an open-air museum depicting farm life through the ages in the Cape; the Worcester Institute for the Blind is an informative and uplifting experience; and the town centre boasts many unusual examples of Cape Dutch gables.
Tours to do
A tour of the KWV Brandy Museum is a fascinating and delicious diversion.
Get around
It is advisable to hire your own car, as there is no public transport to Worcester, other than trains or long-distance buses.
What will it cost
AFEs (Air Flight Experience) cost in the region of R850 for a 30 minute flight.
Length of stay
While the AFE takes only 30 minutes, flight preference is given to club members, so you could wait a whole afternoon until it's your turn.
What to pack
Winter can be very cold, more so at altitude. Ensure you have a warm windproof jacket, and a woolen hat and scarf.
Where to stay
Being a farming area, you'll find plenty of cosy B&Bs, guest lodges and self-catering accommodation in the area.
What to eat
Worcester is a major fruit growing region, so enjoy what is ripe and in season. Worcester olive oil is great too.
What's happening
If you're a qualified pilot, ask about upcoming activities at the Cape Gliding Club. They host a series of competitive flights for more experienced gliders.
Best buys
Willow Creek and Olyfberg olive oils – voted best in the world 2008. KWV Brandies – IMOYA VSOP Alambic Brandy and Van der Hum liqueur.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1920 — Kaluszyn, Poland
The youngest of three children, Israel Yitzak was born to Jewish parents living 35 miles east of Warsaw in the small, predominantly Jewish town of Kaluszyn. Israel's mother was a housewife, and his father was a merchant who often traveled on business, by horse and wagon, to Warsaw. Israel attended public school and also received religious instruction.
1933-39: When Germany invaded Poland several days ago, many kids my age, afraid of what would happen if the Germans occupied Poland, fled to the USSR, 83 miles to the east. I've stayed with my parents, who have no other children left at home. We've moved to the outskirts of town because the shelling has destroyed our home in the center. German soldiers are now in Kaluszyn and have been cutting off some Jews' beards as an insult.
1940-42: Conditions in Kaluszyn have worsened. At first, after the bombardment, many Jewish families took refuge in the synagogue, the community bath house, the brewery, and the tannery. Then the Germans began "resettling" in Kaluszyn hundreds of Jews from other towns. Food and overcrowding have become a big problem. Everyone is infested with lice, and typhus has started to spread.
Israel died of typhus sometime before the Germans liquidated the ghetto in late 1942 and deported its population to the Treblinka extermination camp.

Recipe Find: Old Milky Way Pie for new kitchen
Mom remembered dish from winter trips to Padre Island.
Updated 11:12 am, Monday, November 21, 2011
We're excited that we've found a recipe that will help a cook break in her new kitchen.
The request came from Julie MacDonald of Springfield, Mo., who wrote: "Long story — shortened version!! My parents used to winter at Padre Island from Kansas City and mom LOVED your recipes in the paper.
"We have recently moved them to an independent living facility and she HAD to have an apartment with a kitchen 'just in case she wanted to cook something'!!
"She took all her favorite recipes (and sold the 100+ other cookbooks!) and she has found everything EXCEPT the recipe for Milky Way and Snickers Pie. She even kept another of your columns with the email.
Food & Drink Channel
"If at all possible, could you please send me that recipe? If it's one of her favorites, it will become one of mine!!! Thanks so much ... "
We found the recipes for both Milky Way and Snickers Pie in a Recipe Find column that ran in 1997. I contacted MacDonald to see which of the two she wanted.
She responded, "Mom was so excited to get the recipe! It is the first one on your email (Milky Way Pie).
"She made it when they were at Padre Island that year and they loved it! She has always loved to cook and still thinks about those favorite recipes. I haven't tried it, but I'm expecting company from Australia for November and that's going to be on my list! Thanks so much for digging back into those files and sending it to us!"
Recipe Find appears Sundays in Taste. If you are looking for a lost recipe or have a favorite recipe to share, let us hear from you. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or write Recipe Find, San Antonio Express-News, P.O. Box 2171, San Antonio, TX 78297-2171. Recipe requests will be answered in this column only; due to time limitations, no personal replies can be given.

WASHINGTON With the nation teetering on an economic "fiscal cliff," federal judges may soon force Congress to dedicate possibly millions of dollars to what some of those same judges must consider a worthy cause: their own salaries.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in October ordered Congress to pay six federal judges years of back pay. Now a group of federal judges is pushing a class-action lawsuit to ensure all of the rest of the federal judges who also missed out on their cost-of-living increases get what they feel is their due.
It's a touchy subject: One set of federal judges asking another set to essentially approve salary increases for everyone. Though, of course, Congress also ultimately controls its own salaries.
Congress in 1989 limited federal judges' ability to earn money outside of their work on the bench and in exchange provided what was supposed to be automatic cost-of-living increases to judicial salaries to ensure inflation wouldn't erode the value of those salaries over time.
U.S. District Judge Royal Furgeson Jr. of Texas, one of the judges seeking class-action status, called that a "binding commitment" made by the legislative branch for the judicial branch to "receive the same yearly COLAs awarded to all other federal employees, to keep us even with inflation."
But instead of following through, Congress withheld those cost-of-living increases in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2007 and 2010, while giving other federal employees their promised increases. "In our view, the exclusion is contrary to the commitment to us, so we have sued to enforce it," said Furgeson, a senior judge who also serves as the president of the Federal Judges Association.
The Constitution, the judges say, is on their side. The Constitution says compensation for federal judges "shall not be diminished during their continuance in office," so the judges say denying them a promised cost-of-living increase violates the Constitution's Compensation Clause.
And now a federal appeals court is on their side.
"Congress' acts in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1999 constitute unconstitutional diminishments of judicial compensation," the appeals court said in its October order, adding that money also was due that had been withheld in 2007 and 2010. "As relief, appellants are entitled to monetary damages for the diminished amounts they would have been paid if Congress had not withheld the salary adjustments."
However, the appeals court's decision only applied to those judges who sued in the Beer v. United States case, so Furgeson and another group of judges are trying to get a class-action lawsuit approved so they can get the missed salary adjustments for more than 1,000 other current and former federal judges who court papers say would have been eligible.
Their success will depend on whether the Beer decision holds up if challenged at the Supreme Court. So far, the Justice Department has not yet decided whether to appeal the federal circuit court's ruling to the Supreme Court, a spokeswoman said.
The entire federal bench would benefit from the success of a class-action lawsuit, which would include "all persons who are serving or who served as United States judges under Article III of the Constitution."
And the payout could cost the government millions. The current salary for district court judges is $174,000, and for circuit court judges, $184,500. According to the American Bar Association, if all of the promised cost-of-living adjustments had been paid, circuit and district court judges' salaries would be approximately $262,000 and $247,000. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Court adds that a district judge who has served since 1993 has "failed to receive a total of $283,100 in statutorily authorized but denied pay," and that total would be even higher for circuit judges.
Cynthia Gray, director of the American Judicature Society's Center for Judicial Ethics, said judges' presiding over cases involving their own salary and benefits when necessary has not been a serious issue for years.

text: Given that DVD technology is practically tailor-made to deliver collections of short pieces, it's a wonder that the DVD market hasn't been flooded with more odds-and-ends anthologies like A Christmas Past. The holiday collection presents nine short, silent, black-and-white films, ranging in length from 5 to 29 minutes, and produced between 1901 and 1925, mostly by the Edison Film Manufacturing Corp. The earliest of these "cinematic Christmas cards" are crude affairs: A Winter Straw Ride is a loose assemblage of footage of a sleigh ride and some snow fights, while A Holiday Pageant At Home features stiff children prancing through some unidentifiable performance, periodically looking to the camera either for direction or out of curiosity. Edison Film's efforts to adapt The Night Before Christmas and A Christmas Carol are jerky and brief, and seem to exist mostly as showcases for a few special effects. In sharp contrast, the disc's sole D.W. Griffith film, 1909's A Trap For Santa, is an exaggeratedly mimed morality play with a complete story. Trap sets the direction for much of the disc's remainder; it's possible to track the development of narrative cinema through the pieces, which remain simplistic but show a growing sense of ambition. The capper is 1925's Santa Claus, a stagy, elaborate, privately produced fable that uses footage from Alaska to illustrate how Santa's North Pole realm is surrounded by ice floes and guarded by "goblins of the deep" (walruses) and the "monarch of the Arctic" (a polar bear). Even apart from the impressive sets and cute humorSanta consults with the Easter Bunny, a live rabbit, and chats with Jack Frost, a bored-looking man in a bulky fur suitSanta Claus is fun to watch, simply to imagine the reaction of children, some 75 years ago, upon seeing living proof of the existence of Santa's workshop, complete with toy-building elves and sweeping herds of reindeer. Today's kids, by contrast, would likely be bored silly with A Christmas Past, which seems mostly geared at film historians and silent-era buffs. But, like so many anthologies, it compensates for the modest quality of its material by piling on the quantity.

Named in the memory of LeLande D. Bond, Grand Valley Alumnus 1994
LeLande D. Bond (1971 - 1995)
During his time at Grand Valley, LeLande immersed himself in his academics, student activities, and his desire to help and impact all the students at Grand Valley. He first came to Grand Valley as a student in the Fall of 1990. In 1994, Lelande graduated with a degree in Public Administration and chose to pursue a M.Ed. in the School of Education with an emphasis in Secondary, Adult & Higher Education. During his First year in graduate school, LeLande worked as a graduate assistant in the Office of Student Life working with the Excellence in Leadership Program. Later, he was hired as the Copeland Hall Director starting the fall of 1995.
As a very positive and energetic individual, LeLande made a point of getting involved in student activities and organizations. He was active in leadership roles with the Black Student Union, the Student Senate, the NAACP, the Residence Halls Association, the Voices of GVSU and was elected Homecoming King in 1992. Lelande was also one of the first students to complete the Excellence in Leadership training program.
Lelande was an outstanding scholar as well. He was one of 30 students nationally selected for a fellowship program in Washington D.C. in the summer of 1991. During his senior year, LeLande received the Venderbush Leadership Award, Grand Valley's most prestigious leadership award.
LeLande so enjoyed making a difference and impacting the lives of fellow students, that he chose a career path as a university staff member and continued to impact Grand Valley students through his roles in the Office of Student Life and the Housing Office. A fellow staff member once said "He would want to be remembered by the fact that his being at GVSU made a difference for all the students here."
LeLande shared his passion and energy for leadership and involvement with his wife Andrea Taylor, also a student and graduate of Grand Valley. Married in August of 1995, both lost their lives in a tragic car accident a few weeks later. No one at the Grand Valley went without being impacted by the loss. A true living testament of the impact LeLande and Andrea had on the lives of Grand Valley's students, staff and faculty.
In honor of LeLande's commitment to student engagement and leadership along with his outstanding contribution to making a difference in the lives of students, staff, and faculty at Grand Valley, the Leadership & Service Library has been dedicated in his memory.

LONDON (Reuters) - British author Jeffrey Archer seeks to scale Everest in his latest novel, a story based on the life and times of George Mallory whose attempt to climb the world's highest peak in 1924 is still shrouded in mystery.
And unlike earlier false starts, the writer as famous for his politics and imprisonment as his prose is confident that this time his book will make it to the big screen.
"Paths of Glory," which hits shelves Thursday and is published by Macmillan, is a fictionalized account of Mallory, the British climber who may or may not have reached the summit of Everest before dying on the mountain in June, 1924.
His frozen remains were discovered 75 years later hundreds of feet below the peak, and the climbing community is divided to this day over whether Mallory was the first person to stand on the roof of the world.
For Archer, best known for pacy thrillers like "Kane & Abel" and "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less," Mallory was not an obvious choice. But he was drawn to the story by late friend Chris Brasher, and, once he started his research he was gripped.
"I got so involved that I wished I was 24, and wished Mallory had said to me 'I want you to come on the trip with me'," Archer, 68, said in an interview.
"I got so excited. I was in his shoes. I was looking at the top," he added in his luxury London penthouse home, overlooking the River Thames and surrounded by valuable works of art.
Mallory was inspiring not only for his climbing prowess but his political ideas that were radical at the time, his modesty, his involvement in World War One, the illustrious company he kept at Cambridge and his marriage to the beautiful Ruth.
"This very remarkable, very complex man, he's a big figure and that made writing it so much more fun."
Almost as important in Paths of Glory is the figure of George Finch, an Australian who accompanied Mallory on an expedition to Everest but was excluded from the ill-fated third trip after falling out with the British organizers.
Archer spoke to members of Finch's family who are convinced that the accomplished climber was excluded by the likes of Arthur Hinks because he was not British and was not part of the traditional "establishment."
"I can't prove that, but I spoke to his grandniece ... and the grandniece said to me: 'They treated (Finch) disgracefully. He would have been the first (up Everest) if that awful man Hinks from the Royal Geographical Society hadn't stopped him.'"
Archer said he reveled in recreating the rivalry and respect between two men he felt reflected his own life both as a member of the British "elite" and a convicted outcast.
"I see myself as a bit of Finch and a bit of Mallory, but aren't we all? Which one is different?"
Archer was a favorite of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, served in parliament, was made a lord, has sold tens of millions of books and mingles with the rich and famous.
And yet he was jailed in 2001 after lying in a libel trial against a newspaper which said he had had sex with a prostitute, and served half of a four-year prison term.
"I still love my politics, I'm still in touch with everybody involved, but I'm well past a job for 101 reasons, and I'm no longer interested. What I want now is to write better and better books," Archer said.
He is also in contact with a Hollywood producer to adapt Paths of Glory for the big screen. But he remains cautious.
"I agree with my son on this. He has a marvelous expression: 'Dad, we'll all believe it when we're eating the popcorn.' And I think that's right with films.
"I've had disaster after disaster in the sense that people pay me money, people pay for the rights, I've had three mini-series, I've never had a film."

Emilio Pucci Spring 2012
What's the meaning of the house of Emilio Pucci? Swirly, multicolored, psychedelic-era sixties jet-set prints? Yes, but then what? For several years, this was a label with a respected heritage, but little traction in "gotta-run-to-it" desirability. Then came Peter Dundas, a dude with an angle on maximal, sexy-but-classy fantasy. In a Milan season that has been all about the consolidation of unique voices in fashion, his scorchingly rich gypsy-themed collection provided a point of view which puts him on a par with the city's unmissable fashion attractions.
"I wanted more heat," he shrugged with modest understatement as he was bombarded with Pucci-clad international acolytes who jostled backstage in a room which had already hit about 90 degrees in the Italian Indian summer this city is enjoying. They'd just sat runway-side, fanning themselves while observing a collection of swirling printed skirts, tiny lace-edged tops, and slews of lace-encrusted dresses, sheer body-slinking knits, and modern takes on decorated, jet-embroidered tailoring. The body-heat from the models—working the spirit of Bardot in her hippie phase with their smoky eyes, crucifix necklaces, and wanton ponytails tied with scarves—would have been enough to cause a male meltdown even if the air conditioner hadn't already surrendered.
The point about Dundas is the way he can carry a theme like this—one of the most well-trodden paths in fashion history—without seeming cheap. In his mind, the Spanish-gypsy travelogue was, "A way of coming home to the house of Pucci, with all the prints." True enough, the scarf-prints collaged every which way in handkerchief-point skirts and dresses were gifts for any number of pretty girls on their way to louche summer-night events. Somewhere in the background, though, Dundas's experience as a couture designer at Ungaro allows him to stop short of uncontrolled flamboyance. His way of piecing lace into a silk slip dress, or embroidering a high-waisted red skirt with jet beading displays skills he learned long ago in Paris. And amidst all this unfettered glamour, he's smart enough to also be thinking about the way women can wear opulence for day: print shirts, primly done up to the neck, but embellished with crystal, worn over tailored shorts or pants. It may not be Pucci as it used to be understood, but kudos to Peter Dundas for making it his own.

U.S. Tops First Ever FIFA Women's World Rankings
CARSON, Calif. (Wednesday, July 16, 2003) - The U.S. Women's National Team, winners of the FIFA Women's World Cup 1991 and 1999, and Olympic gold medallists in 1996, have officially been named the top team in the world in the first edition of the FIFA Women's World Rankings, announced today by FIFA at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
FIFA has ranked men's national teams for ten years, but unveiled its first women's rankings today to coincide with the Final Draw for the FIFA Women's World Cup USA 2003, being held tomorrow in Los Angeles at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., at 11 a.m. PT.
Following the USA is reigning Olympic champion Norway and European champion Germany, with 2007 Women's World Cup host China in fourth place. A resurgent Sweden is ranked fifth, followed by South American champion Brazil and Asian champion North Korea.
The U.S. Women have lost only three matches in the last two calendars years, two to Norway and one to China and are 9-1-3 in 2003. The U.S. Women's National Team has a record of 222-47-30 since the start of the program in 1985. In addition to winning three world championships, the USA finished third at the 1995 Women's World Cup and second at the 2000 Olympics.
The World Ranking is determined on the basis of a performance rating that takes into account numerous factors such as results, home advantage, importance of each match and the difference in the strength of the two teams involved. Calculated and managed by FIFA in collaboration with international sports information provider Infostrada Sports, the ranking will appear four times each year. The next FIFA Women's World Ranking will be published on August 29, 2003.
The inaugural ranking was calculated using a comprehensive database of over 3,000 matches played between 1971 and the present. FIFA has high hopes that the FIFA Women's World Ranking will spark further interest in the sport, while also providing an accurate yardstick for comparing the 100+ national teams that are currently active and a starting point for statistical analysis of women's football.
In 2001, FIFA conducted a study indicating that 22 million active women are playing soccer worldwide. Ninety-nine teams participated in the recently completed preliminary rounds of the FIFA Women's World Cup, more than twice the number that took part in the qualifiers for the first FIFA Women's World Cup in China 12 years ago. Following are the top-10 countries in the first-ever FIFA Women's World Rankings as well as the rankings of all 16 teams that will participate in the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup.
FIFA Women's World Rankings:
Ranking Country Points
2. Norway 2159
3. Germany 2152
4. China 2110
5. Sweden 2073
6. Brazil 2036
7. North Korea 2004
8. Denmark* 1967
9. France 1963
10. Italy * 1943
11. Russia 1899
12. Canada 1867
14. Japan 1850
15. Australia 1839
23. Nigeria 1738
24. South Korea 1727
35. Argentina 1624
53. Ghana 1458
Note: Denmark and Italy are the only two teams on the above list not participating in 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup.

DETROIT - Vice President Joe Biden was campaigning in Michigan on Wednesday.
He arrived at Detroit's Westin Book-Cadillac Hotel late Tuesday night.
Biden spoke at Detroit Renaissance High School Wednesday afternoon about the choice voters have in the upcoming election and how Republican candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, would return the country to failed policies of the past.
Biden warned more than 1,000 people at the school that presumed Republican presidential nominee Romney and running Ryan are ready to repeal Wall Street reform and make cuts to health care if they win the White House in November.

Biden visited Detroit on July29, speaking to 2,500 delegates at the annual convention of the 1.5 million-member American Federation of Teachers.
No campaign appearances are planned by either President Obama or Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
However, Ryan is expected to visit the area on Friday. Sources say he will attend a fundraising event at Oakland Hills Country Club. The event chairs are Peter and Danielle Karmanos and Kid Rock.
Kid Rock endorsed Romney during the primary campaign earlier this year.

THE Alexandra Hospital in Redditch is closed to visitors following another outbreak of norovirus.
Friends and family members are being asked to avoid visiting patients at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, Kidderminster Hospital as well as the Alex, unless their visit is absolutely essential.
This is the second outbreak of norovirus in the county's hospitals this month.
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust's chief nursing officer Lindsey Webb said limiting the number of people coming into hospital wards significantly reduces the risk of spread of norovirus and helps keep the hospital running efficiently.
"We would like to thank all of those people who over the past few days have heeded our advice and avoided visiting the hospitals," she said.
"We would also like to thank those who have arrived and been turned away for their understanding of the situation."
Those who believe their visit is essential should telephone the ward directly for advice.
People who have experienced diarrhoea or vomiting are asked not to go to hospital until they have been symptom-free for at least 48 hours.
There is no treatment for norovirus apart from letting the illness run its course.
People suffering from norovirus are advised to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, was their hands thoroughly after using the toilet and not preparing food for others until at least 48 hours after the symptoms have subsided.
Towels and flannels should also not be shared and all surfaces should be thoroughly disinfected.
Telephone your GP or NHS 111 for advice if the symptoms do not quickly subside or you have additional concerns.
The latest visiting information is available at worcacute.nhs.uk For advice call your GP or NHS 111.

Are you suffering from shortness of breath when you workout? Doctors can test to see if you suffer from exercise-triggered asthma.
"I was in absolute terrible pain from my legs and I couldn't figure out what the deal was. I couldn't even get myself to breathe heavily," said Nick Boulle.
Boulle is an avid cyclist, but one day some scary symptoms hit. He had no idea what was wrong, and saw multiple doctors, but no one could figure it out.
"I couldn't finish a simple race... I couldn't get through a workout," said Boulle.
Finally, he met with pulmonologist, Dr. Mark Millard.
"We have to sometimes do a series of tests, challenge tests to airways to try and understand why something is happening, causing that sense of shortness of breath," said Dr. Millard.
After a series of tests, Dr. Millard figured out exactly what was wrong with Boulle -- exercise triggered asthma.
"And in Nick's case, we had to do a series of tests to finally figure out exactly what was the problem, and that also gave us a clue into using medicines that weren't historically used for asthma to help improve his symptoms," said Dr. Millard.
Boulle's new treatments have been a success.
"I am back to the point where I can at least ride every day. It's a huge change, much better than it was," said Boulle.
Symptoms of exercise-induced asthma include coughing, tightening of the chest, wheezing, unusual fatigue and shortness of breath. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms with exercise, it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor.

Karns shut down with tightness in leg
VIERA, Fla. -- Nationals right-hander Nathan Karns has been shut down because of tightness in his upper right leg. Manager Davey Johnson said Karns must get an X-ray before the doctor can determine what is wrong with the right-hander.
"I wish we had taken the X-Ray. We did not now we would require that to get a true evaluation," Johnson said.
Karns, the Nats' No. 6 prospect, had his toughest outing of the spring Friday against the Cardinals, allowing seven runs (one earned) in two-thirds of an inning.
"[The injury] is a distraction right now for me," Karns said on Friday. "It's something that I feel every pitch. I'm out there not fully committed to the pitch. It's in the back of my mind. I don't know what's going on with it."
Karns has been dealing with tightness in his right leg since March 2.

An open letter to BBC Question Time about the Extra Guest slot
Dear BBC Question Time
This BBC Extra Guest business. I like it. I think its a great way of engaging with the programme. But what have you got against the Lib Dems and when are you going to let a Lib Dem blogger or tweeter engage with the audience?
Your last 10 guests have featured (most recent first); a Labour supporter, a libertarian, a green-and-if-not-them-Labour supporter, a neutral, a columnist writing for the Times and The Spectator who happens to be the son of a Tory MP, another neutral, a Tory verging on the edge of libertarian, a Labour supporting journalist, a Telegraph journalist once of Labour but now backing the Republicans in the US, and Fleet Street Fox (your guess there is as good as mine, she seems equally at home at the Mail and The Mirror).
That's pretty well got all the bases covered - bar the inclusion of a Lib Dem.
It's not like you're short of options. I am of course at this point meant to say that modesty forbids me from pushing myself forward, but blow that, I do write a weekly blog for The New Statesman on the view from the Lib Dem grass roots, as well as running my own award winning blog, and I'd bite your hand off.
But if you don't fancy me - there's the current Lib Dem blogger of the Year, Mark Thompson; or the last year, Nick Thornsby. There's the founder of Lib Dem Voice, Mark Pack. There's the irrepressible Charlotte Henry from Digital Politico. There's the Queen of Lib Dem blogging, Caron Lindsay. I could go on. But you get the idea
So please can you stick one of us in the Extra Guest hot seat.
We'll stir the pot. And you have had two Libertarians and a green before you got to us...

Kalamazoo College affirms the educational benefits inherent in the residential undergraduate experience. Residential living is supportive of one's academic preparation and plays an integral role in one's experiential education, providing rich opportunities for involvement and development. Therefore, Kalamazoo College requires all students to reside within the College's residential system and board at the College's dining center through the Winter Quarter of their Junior year.
To be eligible for campus housing students must be enrolled full-time (at least two units) for the term of residence, and be at least 16 years of age at the time campus residency begins. Students under the age of 16 are not eligible to live in on-campus housing.
All first-year students and visiting international students must live in the College's residential system and board at the College's dining center for their first three quarters.
Exceptions for first-year students are made for:
Transfers: All transfer students shall be treated per their student classification (see below)
All sophomores and juniors must live in the College's residential system and board at the College's dining center.
Exceptions are made for:
Exceptions to the board plan only are made for:
Seniors are not required to live on campus. Juniors and seniors will be housed on campus on a space available basis only. Juniors and seniors who choose to live on campus must carry a board plan unless they are:
Several campus housing options are available. Residence halls are coed by area or floor, with single, double, or triple rooms as well as suites. Ten Living/Learning Housing Units allow groups of seven to nine students to arrange their housing around a particular educational focus and initiate programming to enrich their own experience and that of the wider campus.
The primary purpose of our residential campus is to develop and maintain an atmosphere that promotes academic, personal, and social growth. Working with students, the College assumes the responsibility for standards of occupancy and the proper care of the residence halls. All on-campus housing is supervised by professional staff members and student resident assistants under the supervision of the Director of Residential Life.
In compliance with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as Amended, and with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Kalamazoo College recognizes that qualified students who have diagnosed or identified learning, physical, and emotional disabilities are entitled to the same benefits from the educational programs of the College. Kalamazoo College is committed to making every effort to providing reasonable accommodations, unless that imposes an undue hardship or burden. The Associate Dean of Students and the student will work together to negotiate and ensure appropriate accommodations that will work for the student. Cost associated with diagnosis, evaluation, and testing is the responsibility of the student, except in cases of severe financial need demonstrated to, and upon recommendation of, the Associate Dean of Students.
The office also makes assistance available to students experiencing short-term illness or physical injury.
Kalamazoo College has the right to: Deny a request for accommodations, academic adjustments, and/or auxiliary aids and services if the documentation demonstrates that the request is not warranted or if the individual fails to provide appropriate documentation.
Please direct questions to the Associate Dean of Students Office.
Student Responsibilities:
Be sure to read and understand your responsibilities in the partnership to provide you full access to Kalamazoo College's educational opportunities. You may also benefit from general suggestions for being a successful student.
Student Registration:
For registration assistance, please read registration information for students with disabilities.
Will Graduation Requirements Change Because of Disabilities? No.
We believe that teaching within a course can be modified to address particular disabilities by providing reasonable accommodations. Students, regardless of their disability, in most cases can successfully master the material of courses and meet graduation requirements. Should a student have questions about the process of seeking accommodations, please contact the Associate Dean of Students and Disability Services Coordinator at (269) 337-7209. Kalamazoo College uses several assistive technologies to assist students with disabilities access resources in classrooms and in the library.

Computer Center/Computer Labs
When a student accepts admission to Kalamazoo College, the student agrees to live by a set of mutually held principles defined as the Honor System. The faculty and staff of the College, in return, agree to treat the students by the same principles. Policies and regulations, including the Student Code of Conduct, interpret the broad principles of the Honor System. Students are expected to acquaint themselves with these regulations and to abide by them both in spirit and in practice, whether enrolled in on-campus or off-campus programs. Failure to live within the College's policies and regulations, thus within the spirit of the Honor System, will result in administrative action or action through the Student Conduct Process.
The Board of Trustees gives authority for administering the College to the President. The President delegates to the Provost and the faculty the authority to determine the curriculum of the College and the academic processes, policies, and regulations that define the academic structure. The President delegates administrative responsibility for particular programs, activities, and processes to the administrative officers of those programs.
Students will be treated with procedural fairness within each of these respective systems in accordance with procedures communicated through the Student Code of Conduct, College policies and regulations, the Academic Catalog, or specific documents from the offices or programs.
The College reserves the right to determine whether violations of municipal, state, or federal laws are also actionable under the College's Honor Statement, Student Code of Conduct, standards, policies, or regulations. Therefore, students who are cited or arrested and/or charged by law enforcement authorities may be notified that College action is also pending. College policies and regulations are not designed to replicate state or federal laws, but rather to address student conduct under the Honor System, the Student Code of Conduct, and the College's policies and regulations, and to ensure an appropriate educational environment for all community members. Thus, College proceedings need not await the outcome of civil or criminal proceedings. Since the Fourteenth Amendment does not refer to or place restrictions upon private action, private institutions of higher education like Kalamazoo College are not bound by the prohibitions in the Fourteenth Amendment. Such private institutions are not in a constitutional relationship with their students unless they are in some way acting on behalf of the state.
In cases where students have allegedly violated both campus regulations and statutory laws, the College may be faced with a situation where it must take action on its Student Code of Conduct prior to action by the courts. This does not constitute double jeopardy for the student, since the campus and the community are two separate jurisdictions and the College is not making either legal or criminal determinations, but determinations about the appropriateness of student conduct within its community. Therefore, the proceedings are independent of one another and one need not await the outcome of the other. The College is maintaining its integrity by lawfully determining whether sanctions may be appropriate and/or whether the student is fit to continue in the academic community. Kalamazoo College reserves the right to take such action in cases where the College determines that the student's presence on campus may endanger or disrupt others or the College community.
Jurisdiction. In the course of their education, students are members of multiple communities and hold multiple citizenships, including on study abroad, at internships, student teaching, on SIPs, etc. The College reserves the right to determine whether violations of municipal, state, or federal laws, or violations of the standards or policies of universities or countries abroad also constitute a violation of College standards and regulations. Therefore, students who are cited or arrested and charged by law enforcement authorities or are charged or disciplined by institutions, municipalities, or countries abroad may be notified that College disciplinary action is also pending. Further, the College reserves the right to take action on behavior off campus that violates College standards and regulations, adversely affects the lawful educational mission of the institution, or has endangered or disrupted others.
Administrative or faculty action, or action through the Student Conduct Process will result from violations of the Honor System, the Student Code of Conduct, or the policies and regulations of the College. Responsive action can include suspension or expulsion from the College; limitation of access to programs, activities, or housing; restriction of privileges; imposition of new requirements; required community service; or community restitution hours, to name a few. Actions are designed to educate a student about the responsibilities of membership within an educational community. However, when those efforts fail, the recourse is to rescind the privilege to attend this College.
Acting under the authority of the Board of Trustees, the President of Kalamazoo College (or designate) may, on an interim basis, suspend or expel any student whose conduct is detrimental to the well-being of the College or members of the College community. In such circumstances, the procedures employed in responding to violations of College policy may be suspended in the event of a crisis or a threat to the safety, health, or well-being of members of the College community.

Although research for the UK's Department for Work and Pensions says guaranteed products cost too much to be a rational investment for pension savers, independent financial advisers seem to have a different take on things.
More than 90 per cent of IFAs recommend structured products to their clients, according to a survey conducted by Structured Products magazine. Even allowing for the likely bias as IFAs try to be polite to the questioner, that's a swingeing majority in favour of a product with a distinctly opaque cost structure.
A large part of the cost to investors of guaranteed equity products (the main form mentioned in the survey) is dividends, which the product provider gets to hold onto. The DWP's research estimates this cost amounts to between 15 and 20 per cent of the amount invested – are IFAs telling their customers that, or are they even aware of it?

England fell just four runs short in a tight finish to a tough run chase as Australia retained the women's ICC World Twenty20 trophy.
Number three Jess Cameron top-scored with 45 to help Australia pile up 142 for four after being put in at the Premadasa Stadium. England's batsmen never quite managed the necessary impetus to get over the line, but would not give up and came mighty close in the end to regaining the title they won at Lord's in 2009.
Key batsmen Charlotte Edwards and Sarah Taylor got started, but could not sustain their innings, as Australia shared the wickets between spin and seam, yet the inaugural winners of this competition batted deep to finish on 138 for nine.
There was enough pace in the pitch to make the seamers vulnerable and Australia openers Alyssa Healy and Meg Lanning cashed in against Katherine Brunt. They were therefore off to a flying start, racking up 47 without loss in powerplay as both Healy and Lanning found boundaries easy to come by, especially in Brunt's second over, which cost 16.
Holly Colvin gave England a much-needed breakthrough, in her first over, when Lanning chipped a caught-and-bowled back to the slow left-armer to end an opening stand of 51.
At 10 overs, the score was 68 for one, but immediately afterwards, Healy was bowled trying to pull Danni Hazell. Cameron then dominated a second half-century stand with Lisa Sthalekar, and had just taken 17, including a six over midwicket, from one Anya Shrubsole over when Colvin again broke the partnership.
Cameron was caught at long-on. But Sthalekar and Alex Blackwell lost no significant momentum in the closing overs, as Edwards sensibly opted not to bring back the pace of either Brunt or Shrubsole.
It seemed Australia might have a winning total, albeit on a good batting surface - and so it proved, just. Laura Marsh went caught-and-bowled to Julie Hunter in the fifth over of England's reply, and when Edwards was held at deep midwicket off Sthalekar for 28 another 99 runs were still needed.
Edwards' dismissal sparked some telling Australia celebrations, but they were shouting even louder when strike bowler Elysse Perry returned to have Taylor (19) caught-behind aiming an inside-out drive in the 10th over.
From there, England's prospects were far from obvious. A series of admirably busy stands followed, however, with some fine late hitting from Jenny Gunn, who made 19, and Australia had to hold their nerve to deny England's late flourish as slow left-armer Jess Jonassen (three for 25) took the honours with the ball.

You may have noticed that this blog has gone rather quiet while I work on my next book – sorry. The FT is going to mothball it, which seems reasonable.
So – thanks for following so far. If you'd like to keep going, here's what to do:
Here is the FT RSS feed of all my Undercover Economist columns.
The RSS feed of my website, timharford.com is here. The website feed contains columns but also all sorts of other writing, and if I start blogging again when the book's finished, that's where the blog will be.
And at the moment I'm far more active on Twitter, where I post links to all my writing and much else besides.
Thanks for reading; I hope the click over to a new format isn't too inconvenient.
Reposted from Monday.

"This card was everything I wanted. The photo came out beautifully especially since customer service advised we improve the image pixels and it definitely did make a difference! Customer service was very easy to work with and cropped the photo perfectly!"
"Unfortunately I didn't see anywhere when making my thank you card and ordering them, that they were going to be pretty small. It appears they would be about 5x7 which is what I wanted and was pretty upset to see that they were a 5x7 that you fold in half. This was probably my fault for not verifying or looking a little closer. Other then this, the cards are beautiful. My wedding invites were also very beautiful!!"
"These turned out amazing!!! Wedding Paper Divas does great work... I did all my wedding stuff through them (save the dates, invitations, and my thank you cards), and I even ordered napkins... not one complaint!!!"
"I needed to order thank you cards in a hurry with our first shower happening soon after our engagement photo session. I selected this card as it allowed us to display one of our favorite pictures as well as plenty of space on the back to write our thanks! So many of the recipients have reached out to me saying they love the card! We definitely agree with them- we love the card too! I ordered on a Saturday afternoon, made two additional edits and received them on Wednesday afternoon with expedited shipping. The WPD customer service was great as well via phone and email. I plan to order our wedding invitations soon from this site."
"Lots of compliments on this beautiful card! Very easy to add our favorite photos and the quality of the printing was amazing! Nice thick paper and perfect amount of space to write a heartfelt thank you."

BOROUGH businesses are being urged to dig deep to allow local vulnerable and disabled children and their families to see a world-class circus show for free.
Circus Starr, a Cheshire based not-for-profit organisation that puts shows for disadvantaged youngsters, will return to Dudley for two performances at the Brierley Hill Civic Hall, Bank Street, on Wednesday January 22.
The all-human entertainment extravaganza sees Peanuts the Clown back by popular demand along with some classic circus favourites including spellbinding hula-hoopers, mesmerising jugglers, mind-blowing illusionists and a human slinky.
Over the past few months, local businesses have been buying tickets to the show as part of Circus Starr's unique donated ticket programme.
The purchased tickets have already been donated to a wide range of the borough's children's services, schools and community groups but there are still some up for grabs.
Any funds left over will be donated to Compton Hospice in Wolverhampton.
Neville Wilson, director of Circus Starr, said: "We are always stunned by the fantastic support we receive from Dudley businesses and the warm welcome we are given from the entire community each year. We are very much looking forward to hosting our variety show here."
He added: "Circus Starr welcomes any donation, big or small. What matters is that every donation goes to create a memory that lasts a life-time. Just £15 buys a ticket that will enable a vulnerable, sick or disabled child to leave their worries outside and let the magic of our wonderful show draw them in."
Any business wishing to make a donation, should call Circus Starr directly on 01260 288690.

A YOUNG footballer from Pawlett is to realise his childhood dreams of representing his country after being selected for the England Colleges team to play against Australia later this month.
Bradley Ash, 17, who attends Weston College, will make his debut for the national side after impressing in gruelling trial process.
Bradley is in the second year of an Extended Diploma in Sport, and is one of the youngest players ever to turn out regularly for the first team of Skrill South side Weston-super-Mare AFC.
Bradley said: "I was so happy to be selected for my country and I'm really looking forward to playing well and scoring some goals. I want to do the best I can because it could lead to some amazing opportunities in professional football."
He now follows in the footsteps of Premiership stars like Norwich City winger Anthony Pilkington, who began his career with the national Colleges side.
After passing regional trials in Bridgwater, midfielder Bradley went on to qualify in the South of England category, despite not having the best of games. However, he turned his fortunes around in the national qualifier and was selected to play for England.
Selected players follow a programme similar to that of the FA's England Youth national teams thanks to the close links established between the two organisations.
Professional Club scouts, US University scouts and non-league club scouts regularly attend England Colleges Football fixtures, providing a great platform for players who impress to progress further in football.
Paul Taylor, Weston College's Sports Development and Performance Manager, said: "I've known Brad for a few years now and he's a very able and talented young footballer. It is a real honour for him, and for Weston College, to be chosen to play for his country."

The program is designed to give both an in-depth research experience on a particular topic, as well as a broad hands-on exposure to various areas within EE.
Bi-weekly seminars are offered to cover a wide range of topics. The seminar series lecturers are comprised of EE faculty and guests. Discussions will include topics such as graduate education, internships and career opportunities.
The last week of the summer program will be devoted to writing a final report and creating a poster on the research project. The students will present their projects at a poster fair, to which the EE community will be invited.
Each student receives a summer stipend. Students are required to reside in undergraduate housing with the Summer Research College. A meal plan is also provided.
Application Procedure: For information about our application process, please go to ee.stanford.edu/reu.
1. The application has two steps. You can re-submit both steps at any point up to the deadline. The deadline for students to apply is in early February, with exact date to be announced.
2. If you have any questions about the application, email firstname.lastname@example.com
If you have any questions about the logistics of the REU program, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
REU Requirements
Students must declare EE as their undergraduate major. With the exception of co-terms, in order to be eligible students may not be seniors when they apply. In the event the number of applicants exceeds the number of spaces available, preference is given to first time participants. If you have any questions regarding this information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Stanford University/Ecole Centrale Paris Junior Year Abroad Program
Although not formally part of the Overseas Studies Program, Stanford Electrical Engineering undergraduates can receive credit for study abroad at École Centrale Paris. École Centrale Paris is one of the best known science and engineering schools in France and Europe. Stanford students are enrolled in engineering program classes with French and international students. Instruction is mostly in French. For more information, see the "Overseas Studies" section of this handbook and the website http://www.ecp.fr/study-program/stanford, or contact Prof. Robert M. Gray, Packard 261.
The Departmental Requirements for a BS degree in Electrical Engineering include a core set of courses required of every major and a set of specialty areas from which one sequence must be chosen. Each program of study is also expected to include physics as part of science, and calculus, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations as part of mathematics. The math requirement also includes a course in basic probability and statistics. Specific math and science requirements for EEs are listed below. Other program requirements detailed below include Technology in Society (one course) and one and one half years of Engineering Topics (68 minimum required), which include Engineering Fundamentals and Depth, which in turn includes a selection of electrical engineering core courses, a specialty sequence, electrical engineering electives, and a design course from an approved list. To be considered electrical engineering courses, courses must either be listed in the Stanford Bulletin as EE courses or as "EE related courses" (courses considered by the Department of EE to be programmatically equivalent to EE courses).The design course is intended to culminate the substantial design experience distributed throughout the curriculum. Students are required to pass a writing-intensive course (WIM) within their major (those who double-major will have to take two WIM courses). The WIM course for the Electrical Engineering Major is either EE 100X or EE 108A taken concurrently with ENGR 102E. Students are required to have a program planning sheet approved by their advisor and the department prior to the end of the quarter following the quarter they declare their major and at least one year prior to graduation. Programs may be changed at anytime except during the final quarter before graduation by submitting and having approved a new program sheet. Program sheets for the general EE requirements and for each of the EE specialty sequences may be found on the Program Sheets page of this site. Four-Year Plans for each EE specialty can be found on the 4-Year Plans page of this site.

Declaring EE as a Major
1. Declare a major in EE on Axess. Do not declare Honors on Axess until an application has been filled out with signatures from your thesis adviser and a second reader, one of whom must be a member of the EE faculty, and the application has been submitted to the department along with the thesis proposal.
2. Fill out a copy of the Undergraduate Sign-Up Sheet. The "Area of Specialization" is particularly important to assist in the choice of a faculty advisor. It can always be changed.
3. Meet with the Vice Chair in Packard 172. You can check on office hours by sending email to firstname.lastname@example.com. In the Vice Chair's absence, see the Director of Student and Academic Services in Packard 170. Make sure to bring your Undergraduate Sign-up Sheet, unofficial transcript, and academic file (if available from your previous advisor) to the meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to go over the basics in getting a BS in EE, and to assign an EE faculty adviser to be your major advisor.
4. After the meeting, leave your academic file and Undergraduate Sign-up Sheet with the EE Degree Progress Officer in Packard 177, who will certify your Axess declaration within a working day. This completes the formal declaration.
5. Subscribe to both the EE undergrad mailing list and the general EE student mailing list. To do this, go to the http://mailman.stanford.edu Website and follow the instructions for subscribing to the lists ee-students and ee-undergrad. These lists are used for announcements about seminars, research opportunities, and other events.

I'm slowly but surely making my way through all of the recipes I want to make in BBQ USA, and I have to say, if you can get your hands on fresh salmon, this dish and BBQ sauce is fantastic. Most of my family are plain/no sauce kind of eaters but they loved it. I love sauce on just about everything, so ladeling some of the guava bbq sauce on the salmon really added a great flavor to the smoky salmon.
No pictures, just a lame post.

Al, Joe, and BethLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Al says Beth is lying, Beth says Joe is lying, Joe accuses both of them of lying.
Who is telling the truth?
Joe can't be telling the truth because then
Beth would be lying, and Al's statement (which is also a lie) would mean that Beth is telling the truth. These two facts contradict each other. Therefore Joe is lying, which means that Beth is telling the truth, which in turn means that Al is lying.
