In that case I can't see them buffing Revenge without buffing Judgement too.
I worked it out the other day; essentially, the cooldowns marry up over two minutes (24 swings to 15) and I rounded Revenge and Judgement up to 12k and 15k respectively, which is very conservative. I forget the exact numbers, but the paladin version is about 10k ahead over that period - hardly gamebreaking, but still. The shields themselves are also bigger due to Judgement hitting harder and getting 30% of a shield instead of 20%, but neither version sets the world on fire.
Well, it's a pretty damn weak absorb shield, but it has to be. If it were more like a DK's powerful heal/shield, then prot warriors would have to lose their 30/60% reduction block, or DKs would have to be buffed significantly.
So this gives an extremely minor boost to survivability, but the difference in damage between Imp Revenge and Devastate isn't that great, and Revenge now has a side-benefit, if minor. If there are 2 targets, the shield could become a bit more significant. Either way, A shield slam+devastate rotation is boring. At least using Revenge should keep things a bit more interesting.
Agree with Reev. It's only a set bonus. This isn't going to be the full sum of the active survival model we get in the next expansion, it's just a minor benefit from a 2pc set bonus in which they can test the water. Getting the 4pc is likely to be mandatory, if only because the encounter designers will have taken it into account for hard mode tuning, so it's not like getting the 2pc is a real choice. The only choices are whether you choose to hit revenge when it lights up or just keep mashing devastate (is that really a choice? What tank chooses dps over survival in any meaningful content) and perhaps more importantly, whether the set bonus makes it worth speccing into improved revenge.
I also think you guys are barking up the wrong tree when you're converting this to HPS. This is all discrete, not continuous. I'm still relatively confused why tanks are still looking at the "damage taken over time" model in late Cata. It mattered at the beginning, but more "burst time" and EHP mechanics are quickly becoming more and more important, ESPECIALLY with warriors and shield block. We're able to start gearing back towards the EHP model (at least, all the maths and experience I've done in my spare time points to that, I've just been far to lazy to publish it and deal with people going "WAH WAH WAH BUT EJ SAYS BLAH"), and that's why shield block is soooooo powerful. Imo it's the most powerful cooldown we have.
So... I agree with Reev, it's a nice addition and a reason to use revenge. But don't think of it in terms of HPS, if bosses are hitting for 20-30k we're talking about a 10% damage reduction. To me, that's awesome, especially in terms of absorbs and the EHP model. Is it game breaking? No but it can't be and shouldn't be, it's a 2pc bonus.
As far as shield wall vs. raid wall (LS vs. RC), to me this translates to "WAAAAAA I have to THINK!" that's all tanks DO. It's all about strategy. All you have to do is think before the fight, "okay, do I need to use my shield wall for the raid, if yes, save it, if you absolutely have to use it, have a backup" And if you do use it for your own accord, it only helps healers unless there's absolutely no raid damage going out.
I really like these set bonuses, I'm pretty excited about them. Imo it also depends on how main set vs. offset gear is itemized though. If the main set has a lot of expertise and hit (which could make sense b/c that would increase the effectiveness of the 2pc) to the extent that it's just really poorly itemized and the off pieces are all mastery/parry mastery/dodge, then you may need to make the conscious decision to pass it up. As a raid leader, I really don't have a problem with not everyone wanting set bonuses, because if EVERYONE wants the tier pieces, then it's a real bitch to deal with as far as loot distribution goes.
Idk, I just don't see a problem with these set bonuses and think they're a good thing. All y'all are jumpin' off a bridge for nothin'.
The warrior 4 piece just makes Shield Wall a http://www.wowhead.com/spell=70940 for warriors, with the added benefit that it protects the warrior also.
My main problem with the 2pc is that it pretty much forces me to spec 2 points into Imp.Rev, which is generally where i get the floater points for safeguard or whatever, and that its a band-aid for Revenge, id rather have Revenge be a nice ability and the 2pc bonus be the sugar on the top, i.e. an actual bonus rather than this bribe to use a lacklustre ability.
Maybe its just my attitude but I don't feel that I should be having a major Glyph slot and 2 pc bonuses affect something that plays such a small part of our rotation, Revenge needs some good and tender loving, and this just feel like they got it a rampant rabbit and sent it off to have some fun in the next room.
My money is the tank 4pc get's Word of Gloried and changed because Blizzard can't see 2 feet in front of it and will react to tanks QQ that their raid-leader is making them use their biggest damage reducer for the raid and they have less tools to work with.
It's crap design. Either it's a fight like Rhy, where there's mostly AoE and not much burst damage and it's usable, or it's a fight where burst can kill the tank and it's useless for that fight.
It's a bonus. I guess if it's there, it'll be fine to use. But I doubt I'll be gunning for it or bidding on tier tokens over classes with more useful bonuses.
Maybe we'll be so godlike with T13 gear that we don't need personal cds.
So threat and survivabilty are a forgone conclusion? where'd I put my rogue....
But looking at old encounters against a T13 set bonus is, of course, daft. Encounter designers are well aware of set bonuses, and vice versa. They WILL be designing raid mechanics around the abilities available to the players. When heroic modes are being designed, they will have raid wide bursts and we will be made to appreciate our set bonus. It won't be by coincidence, but by design.
See, I have no problem with designing encounters to include those things, but what I do fear is that the set pieces will then be relatively forced upon the tanks and this can be especially annoying when several pieces don't have the stats you prefer (such as dodge/parry or even a parry/hit piece when you're already trying to reforge parry to dodge)
The problem I have with designing encounters around having them is that it pretty much means you have to have those 4sets on your tanks to beat those encounters.
I think Blizzard like that though... they like encouraging players to make choices rather than just assume 4 piece is always best, and they like having soft gates on progression that encourage players to gear up before diving straight in to everything. As a player, I think the former can feel quite satisfying (I'm a big fan of having multiple sets and tweaking gear to fit the fight), the latter can be frustrating but it does make you appreciate having your set that much more.
Two things:
1) The plural of 'bonus' is 'bonuses' not boni.
2)And? You act like this is something Unique, tank gear requirements like resist gear or unblockable gear for H-Anub25, etc. is nothing new. The only difference is that tokens (and 4 set) will have competition. But so what if a tank gets them first, it's just loot and it will drop again. If you're a progression guild pushing the kind of HM content that may need extra raid cooldowns, what's the big deal with gearing out a central person like a tank first? This used to be standard practice.Quote:
The problem I have with designing encounters around having them is that it pretty much means you have to have those 4sets on your tanks to beat those encounters.
I realise that this creates problems, and probably more problems for 10 man guilds than 25 man guilds. I thought I'd read something about the gear acquisition for T13 which was intended to address this... the 'all tier from bosses, mostly offset from VP' thing is somehow intended to help?

Happy third blogiversary Josh!
- abnormalreturns
- November 3rd, 2011
The economic and financial blogosphere is an imperfect meritocracy. In the case of Josh Brown's The Reformed Broker it is working perfectly. Josh through an equal application of humor, smarts, honesty and a great deal of hard work he has turned his blog into a multi-media powerhouse.
We normally just mention notable blogiversaries in the daily linkfest, but the third blogiversary of The Reformed Broker is an occasion worthy of a standalone post. It is rarity to find some one who is good at their craft as Josh is and who is also so generous with their time and attention. Josh has done stuff like The Periodic Table of Finance Bloggers or Financial Blog Wars that helps readers get a handle on the blogosphere. He is oftentimes first to provide publicity and exposure to a worthy new blogger. Or he generously acknowledges the work of a tired, grizzled veteran of the blogosphere.
Normally most professionals are loathe to give away their "secret sauce" but Josh has provided every aspiring financial blogger the roadmap on how to create a better finance blog. In a series of posts he gives you a veritable Chicago Manual of Style for financial blogging. They say that the essence of blogging is linking out and Josh is not afraid to send his readers wherever he sees the best work being done.
So head on over to The Reformed Broker and leave Josh a note on how much you appreciate his work. While you are at it why don't you click over to Amazon and pre-order his book Backstage Wall Street: An Insider's Guide to Knowing Who to Trust, Who to Run From, and How to Maximize Your Investments while you are at it.* If Josh's book is half as good as his blog it would be worth paying full price.
PS And you if you haven't caught an edition of "The Rock Show" on Josh's Twitter stream you are missing something awesome.

November 27, 2014
LONDON (AP) - British media say the former editor of Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid has been questioned by police investigating phone hacking.
The Press Association and others say Richard Wallace - who is 51 - was interviewed under caution Friday. That means he was not arrested but the interview was recorded and could be used in future prosecutions.
London's Metropolitan Police said a 51-year-old man was interviewed at a police station "in connection with the suspected conspiracy to intercept telephone voicemails at Mirror Group Newspapers."
The hacking scandal began at Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World but has spread to other titles.
Wallace told Britain's media ethics inquiry last year that hacking "might well" have occurred at the Daily Mirror in the early 2000s. Its editor until 2004 was Piers Morgan.

If only the impending war wouldn't tear this lineup apart, which might be on the mind of super-spy Moe Berg as this picture was snapped.

Well, it would be another last place finish for the 26 Red Sox. In fact, they would finish every season from 1919-1933 below .500, mostly due to them selling off every good player from the organization, starting with Babe Ruth after the 19 season.

Cubs player takes the field in wrong jersey
Published On: Apr 04 2014 10:39:21 AM MDT

Chicago Cubs outfielder Junior Lake had a slight wardrobe malfunction during Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Lake started off the game wearing the wrong gray jersey displaying "Chicago" instead of "Cubs," which is what was on the front of the rest of his teammates' jerseys. He wore the jersey for the entire first inning and then changed before the start of the second inning, reports NBC Sports.
Perhaps Lake was bleary-eyed from the game played the night before. The Cubs and Pirates played into the early hours of Thursday morning when their game lasted 16 innings.

Evolution in the Holy Land
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Stephen Meyer and the Discovery Institute seek to make the case for the designer in a purely scientific context, without specifying who the designer is. At BioLogos, we take the approach that science is not equipped to provide a full Christian apologetic.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
There was nothing about my experiences on Oct. 20 or the God I'd met that day that intimated to me that he harbored a particular abhorrence for evolution or any scientific theory. I wonder how often we do stuff like that: add things to our list of divine "non-negotiables" that really reflect nothing of the God we experienced when he first welcomed us into his family as a free gift of grace.
…because accepting evolutionary theory for the first time does require us to reconsider and reframe other aspects of our cultural and spiritual beliefs, we must be more caring about the way we interact with those who remain in disagreement with us.
Ian Barbour died on Christmas Eve at the age of 90. He is credited by many to be the father of the contemporary academic discipline of science and religion.
As Christians we believe by faith that Christ was both human and divine, and although this paradox can be difficult to comprehend, it is not a stumbling block to our faith nor does it hinder us from having a relationship with him. Similarly, the Bible is both human and divine.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.

The only reason I would imagine you would hear that is because of the current state of the LFG system.
There are a LOT of DKs out there, and some of them are rather good. Many of them are not terribly skilled or experienced, but they can climb fast and easy to 80 because of the huge head start.
DKs have all the necessary tools and abilities to be fantastic tanks, as hearty as any other class (some would argue more in certain situations). In order for that to happen though (and this is true of any class), they need to take the right tools and use them well.
I imagine that feeling is simply a matter of a lot of less skilled or simply not tank geared DKs who are playing as tanks so they can get into groups. DPS DK friends of mine have said they can wait 30-40 minutes to get a group as DPS, but tanks get a group the moment the join the queue.
So, generally as a class? Not hard to heal. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a higher incidence of people tanking when they just weren't ready for it though.

Prosecutor resigns over sexting spree to crime victim
A Wisconsin prosecutor who faced forced removal from office for sending sexually charged text messages to crime victims and suspects will resign instead. Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz had previously refused to quit following revelations he sent one crime victim 30 racy text messages over three days that among other …
The prize
"I'm the attorney. I have the $350,000 house. I have the six-figure career. You may be the tall, young, hot nymph, but I am the prize."
Well, not an attorney any more, and no six-figure career anymore. Still has the house, though...
slight corection
He is still an attorney. Unfortunately.
I suspect he will have no trouble finding another 6 figure income.
On a up note he may lose the house in the divorce settlement when his wife leaves him.
My 2 pence; people like this guy nauseate me.
Re: He is still an attorney.
I find it really rather depressing that someone *this* stupid can get a law degree and a 100k per year.
"Kratz, a Republican ..."
Wow, didn't see that coming.
re: Wow, didn't see that coming.
You were expecting the message went to a "hot young twink"?
Why so long?
My question is why did it take him so long to resign? did he seriously think he would continue to be effective in his job after this?
Seriously he made $105k/yr, resigning was a good thing for him, now he can go find a higher paying jib, he's going to need a bit more dosh when all the lawsuits come to pass, especially when he gets handed the gift that keeps on giving, divorce papers requesting alimony...
I wonder if he actually ever got laid for his efforts or just threw his whole professional career down the shitter for a string of failed fly-by's and fiery crashes?
I dont know if i should feel sorry for him or point and laugh my ass off at him...
Calumet County
I had no idea where that was, so I had to look it up. Turns out it's on the eastern side of WI, near Manitowoc and Sheboygan. That explains a *lot*.
(p.s. those are very redneck parts of WI.)
i know what he really needs
A little time in chokey.
"In chokey"...? Well, at the very least...
...it's pretty clear that he's going to be choking his chicken for the foreseeable future.
At least four!
I wonder how many he's tried this with, and I wonder if he had much success with this technique!
Good riddance
Probably not soon enough to avoid her bringing suit against the county. Reasonably justified in this case, I'd say.
He's Republican? And probably Born Again too; he knows he's not perfect, but assumes he'll be forgiven, so that makes it all okay in his little mind.
All I can say is...
About bleedin time.
How arrogant do you have to be to think you can behave like this* and keep a very public job?
* well, get caught behaving like this.
resigned not forced?
Just wondered if that means he gets a payoff or anything, as with our MP's who didn't resign after their dodgy expenses claims were revealed, but hung on until the election when they didn't stand and got a bloody good golden handshake...
What happened to...
Freedom of speech?
Next, political office
A dash of faux repentance, a bit of a rant about being tempted by liberal Jezebels, and he's already established that he's not a closeted Friend of Dorothy, which would certainly be a refreshing change for a Republican in public office.
Does nobody get sacked any more? A more deserving case I cannot think of, currently.

South Florida celebrates Groundhog Day
Published On: Feb 02 2013 09:04:15 AM EST
Updated On: Feb 02 2013 09:10:53 AM EST
Updated On: Feb 02 2013 09:10:53 AM EST
Dozens of South Floridians gathered on Hollywood Beach for the 9th Annual Groundhog Day on Saturday morning.
Revelers began the morning around 6:30 a.m. with breakfast at Ocean Alley Restaurant and Bar. An hour later, they began their traditional "Groundhog Swim." Suggested donations this year benefit the Hollywood Beach Business Association Charity Fund.
Participants also watched live coverage of Groundhog Day from Punxsutawney, Pa., the Weather Capital of the World.
This year, Phil did not see his shadow. Traditionally, that means spring will come early without an extra six weeks of winter.

« My Upland Season: So Far, So Good… | Dog of the Day: "Hadgie" »
Dog of the Day: "Molly"
"Molly," an English springer spaniel, has been described by hunting partners as a "dog on Mt. Dew" because of her drive. "Like most flushers, she doesn't stop," says owner Jeff Martin, a Pheasants Forever member since 2008. Now six-years-old, "Molly" flushed and retrieved these roosters on a November 2013 pheasant hunt in South Dakota.

IRIN is an award-winning humanitarian news and analysis service covering the parts of the world often under-reported, misunderstood or ignored.
It delivers unique reporting from the frontlines of humanitarian action to over a million online readers.
IRIN exists to make a difference. According to a 2008 survey by the global marketing research company ACNielsen, IRIN is the premier online humanitarian news source for people who describe themselves as having a "strong impact on humanitarian issues". Its reports are used directly in planning, advocacy and policy development.
The survey also found that when it comes to keeping abreast of humanitarian news and issues, IRIN's coverage was preferred to its closest rival, BBC Online, by a ratio of 4 to 1.
IRIN – standing for Integrated Regional Information Networks – has its head office in Nairobi, Kenya, with regional desks in Nairobi, Johannesburg, Dakar, Dubai and Bangkok, covering some 70 countries. The bureaus are supported by a network of local correspondents, an increasing rarity in mainstream newsgathering today.
The service is delivered in English, French, and Arabic, through a free email subscription service, and social media syndication.
IRIN was launched in 1995, in response to the gap in humanitarian reporting exposed by the Rwandan genocide and its aftermath. It is an editorially independent, non-profit project of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), funded entirely by voluntary contributions from governments and other institutions.
IRIN helps make a difference in three key ways:
The IRIN audience can be split into three main professional groups: just over half are in the humanitarian sector, followed by academia – think-tanks and researchers – and finally the media, which typically use IRIN as reference.
At its core, IRIN's coverage is about how people's lives and livelihoods can be better protected. That means providing sustained rather than parachute reporting, informed analysis, and a voice for? those at the sharp end of circumstance.
As the news service of the aid industry, IRIN operates like a regular news operation, but with the advantage of privileged access. That gives a unique close-up perspective on the humanitarian enterprise, on-the-ground reporting on crisis and vulnerability, and early warning on brewing emergencies.
IRIN's editorial team bring a huge range of experience, diversity and multimedia skills to bear – with a product range that spans text, film, radio, photography and hard-copy publications.
The global text service produces over 400 reports a month, with correspondents in crisis spots from Afghanistan to Somalia. IRIN also has dedicated coverage of climate change and food security, and a specialist HIV/AIDS service, PlusNews.
The film unit, with numerous awards already under its belt, has been named a Webby honoree in recognition of its excellence.
IRIN's Somali radio station, without fanfare, has for the past two years broadcast on short-wave into the country. A 2009 listeners' survey found that 71% of those polled across Somalia – in both urban and rural settings – tuned in daily.

The published version of the 'Mile Wide and an Inch Deep' paper is now available in the latest issue of the International Journal of Development Education and Global Learning. Please follow this link for suggested citation and to download the pdf: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2015216.
In this article we argue that existing survey instruments used to examine public attitudes to global poverty are not fit for purpose. Surveys need to be redesigned to successfully support the threefold purpose of development education and public engagement. The core of our critique is that existing measures suffer from poor measurement validity, and fail to control for knowledge-levels or perceptions of aid effectiveness, both of which are thought to limit support. Researchers also lack understanding of the factors that motivate support for development aid in the first place. We conclude by making recommendations for future surveys of public attitudes and suggest that building support for development may require speaking to many publics as opposed the public.

For some (not that unfathomable) reason global hunger is the thing which annoys and animates me the most. So I was really pleased to see that the UN have just set up a new campaign to try and get hunger to the top of the political and development agenda. I'm somewhat sceptical about these sorts of low cost displays of 'caring', but having seen what happened with the Robin Hood Tax perhaps I ought to be a little bit more open-minded.
So, please:
(1) follow this link and sign up. And then send your family and friends your links too. http://www.1billionhungry.org/davidhudson
(2) spend some time to find out a little bit more about the extent of chronic hunger in the world and decide on doing something about it, whether donating, volunteering, or campaigning and lobbying as you see fit.
It will be interesting to see how this turns out. And interesting to see what people think about this – feel free to comment below.
- Is global hunger a top priority?
- Do these sorts of low-cost, online petitions, social media campaigns work, change anything?
- What do you do? What should we do? What can we do?
- Yellow whistle?
PhD Studentship: Political Support for Development
23 April, 2010
Jennifer and I have been lucky enough to get a fully-funded PhD studentship courtesy of UCL's Impact studentship funding initiative. The studentship "offers the successful candidate the opportunity to conduct high-quality research into one or more aspects of political support for development".
The studentship is specifically designed to allow a PhD student to research and write a thesis building on the work we have carried out on political support for development in the UK (see links at bottom of post). We have mainly focussed on public opinion so far, and mainly from the perspective of survey data. We would be delighted if someone were to directly build on this in their own research. However, we're keeping the description broader than this in asking for proposals to address: "one or more aspects of political support for development; for example: the strength and nature of public opinion, the drivers of individual level support, the role of lobbying and interest groups in setting the political agenda, and the process of development policy making in the UK."
We're looking for good ideas and good students.
Please click here for further details of the studentship: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/spp/spp-news-important/150410-1
Finally, any potential applicants should find the following links useful. They are links to two papers we have written which give a sense of where the idea for the studentship came from. We are keen to see how people can build on / speak to / complement / develop some of the ideas in them or that they provoke.

As usual comments are very welcome. Comments will, of course, be duly acknowledged. The present draft is currently with journal reviewers.
'The Righteous Considereth the Cause of the Poor?' – Public Attitudes Towards Poverty in Developing Countries
1 July, 2008
Update February 2010. For the published version of the paper please follow this link to Political Studies. The article appears in Volume 58 Issue 3 (June 2010).
This is a recent paper that Jennifer van Heerde and I wrote on public attitudes to poverty. Click here to download the pdf of the October 2008 version of the paper.
The paper uses the raw data from the UK Department for International Development's annual survey into UK public attitudes towards poverty in the developing world. We find that individual level concern for poverty is affected by whether people see poverty as something which impacts upon them or not – those with self-interested attitudes tend to be less concerned about poverty. This is important because (1) it suggests that material interests are not a good basis for building support for UK development policy, and (2) DFID and the OECD are looking to harness self-interested attitudes in building this support. There is also a content analysis of 6 UK newspapers based on the questions from the survey.
This version of the paper is the latest (October 2008) and has been revised and resubmitted to Political Studies in the light of the referees' comments. It is hopefully the first in a number of papers that we are preparing on this topic. Comments are very welcome!

Wilkes-Barre Academy has been wonderful to us so far! My daughter has been attending WBA since 2011 and I have nothing but good things to say! The teachers are so over the top caring and concerned about your child, just like you would be. As far as the one review below that reads "they are way too heavily involved in selling everything from candy to coupon books to christmas wreaths to to tickets for horse races to raise money. A little too tacky to be a truly classy private school, uniforms or not. " OH PUH-LEASE! Having gone to Catholic Schools myself for 12 years, its all about the selling! We sold everything under the sun. Second day of high school x4 years, we were dragging our chocolate bars home to sell. This is a great school. If you have any questions or concerns, call the school, take a tour, meet the teachers! I just wish more people would review the school, so others could see these few bad reviews are not true, only made to tranish the school.
very very bad. My kids were mistreated at this place. The TV is on all the time. I have visited that place every hour of the day different days between 8 and 6 and The big TV is on. I pulled my kids and nothing i could do better. They are in building block and that place proven heaven and kids love their teachers and want to go there.These people took the lunch card for both kids for the entire summer ( Joan) and never paid me for it. I was treated very poor when i went to drop the entry cards and lunch cards. It has been months. PLEASE DONT SEND YOUR KIDS AT THIS PLACE. I am mother of 2 and i cannot say any better than this, I felt responsible to tell whoso ever you are reading this.
Absolutely first rate! Very responsible teachers and staff. The children are there for academics, respect for themselves and others, and vision toward the future. This school provides a fantastic foundation for a child's future.
WBA strives to provide a strong educational foundation for all children who attend. I believe any school is what you and your child make of it. As a past parent, i can not say enough about the curriculum and how prepared my child was for high school because of this strong foundation. Fundraising and altruism should never be held against a school or its students. We should focus on creating strong leaders for the future and not belittle efforts to teach our children the importance of team work and helping those in need.
It is not possible to be licensed by the Dept of Ed if ALL teachers are not cerified to teach. Willkes BArre Academy has all licensed teachers with a minimum of a BS required. Many teachers and administrators have multiple degrees, also many have masters degrees. Because of the accelerated education program some students find the program to difficult and withdraw. This causes comments like the one about one licensed teacher:)
Wilkes Barre Academy is a private academy licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. You ARE NOT allowed to have this license if ALL of the teachers are not holding proper certification. All teachers have a minimum of a BS, some have MS's and others have multiple degrees. It is a shame that anyone can write anything on this site, even try to sound like they know something and yet be lying. Facts are easily checked at the Department of Educations website, or by the license outside the schools office.
This school has only ONE teacher that is licensed by Pennsylvania to teach, and she is supervised by non-licensed teachers. (Anyone with a list of the teachers can call the Dept of Education and verify this) There is no diversity on the teaching staff and they are way too heavily involved in selling everything from candy to coupon books to christmas wreaths to to tickets for horse races to raise money. A little too tacky to be a truly classy private school, uniforms or not. This school gets NO stars.
The environment is top notch for learning! Each child is respected as an individual and encouraged to reach his or her potential everyday.
Wilkes-Barre Academy is a excellent learning institution. The teachers and students have a very cohesive relationship for learning. Education is the key to success. Success is what you will fine, if you put in the time at WBA.
Wilkes-Barre Academy provides a quality and affordable education in an advanced placement cirriculum for grades pre-K through eighth. Every teacher is dedicated to the child as a whole and is always willing to go the extra mile to help each child reach their potential. Well worth looking into for your child or children!
It's great! Definitely a good place for kids to go! Many extra curricular activities available.
This school offers challenges to smart children. I call it a high-end private school for the middle class. The diversity here is wonderful,the academics challenging, the enrichment programs plentiful. Oh yes, they have uniforms; too. The teachers take their time and work with your child, they are very receptive to parental interaction and you get the feeling they genuinely care. Well worth it.
WBA offers an overall challenging environment. The staff and teachers are very involved with all aspects of the children. Having dealt with parochial, private and public school, we have found WBA the finest school in the NE.
A great schhol, some place you can trust, and has a great education program

A meteorite explosion struck fear across Russia overnight. The video captured of the remarkable natural event is simply incredible—something you can't see enough.
So far, the explosion has injured nearly 1,000 people in the area around Chelya-Binsk, Russia.
It was a light so bright from what's estimated to have been a 10-ton meteorite and was captured by so many people in Russia. It caused panic in the city of one million.
About 1,100 people were injured, many by flying glass as they flocked to windows to see the flash of light.
The shock wave from the sonic boom shattered windows in thousands of buildings. An estimated one million square feet of glass was shattered in about 3,000 buildings.
Nick Solomley, chairman of the W.S.U. physics department, and his wife got a phone call from relatives soon after.
"My wife's from Russia," Solomley said. "Not so far away, a couple hundred miles away. And with all the excitement, we got a phone call about this and there was a lot of excitement."
Robert Henry, program manager at the Lake Afton Observatory, said, "That's a pretty big meteorite. Most of them are baseball to spec-of-dust size when we think in terms of a meteor shower."
Scientists say the meteor released several kilotons of energy above the region.
"It's a pretty scary meteorite, obviously, because they said it was about ten tons which is roughly the size of an office desk," Henry said.
He says the meteorite was traveling at 25,000 miles-per-hour. It's no wonder people might think they're under attack.

An IFR flight plan was filed and a clearance was received for the 337 nautical mile flight. After departure from runway 12, while at approximately 200 feet above the ground, the non-instrument rated private pilot reported that a door had opened in flight and he was returning to the airport. The airplane impacted trees and terrain approximately one mile from the approach end of runway 30. Examination of the wreckage by FAA inspectors revealed that the door for the baggage compartment had damage consistent with an open door. Physical evidence and ground signatures at the accident site revealed that the airplane impacted the ground at a high rate of descent, at relatively low forward speed, while configured with the landing gear and flaps extended. FAA records revealed that the pilot had accumulated a total of 1,850 flight hours. The pilot's level of experience on the accident airplane could not be determined; however, the investigation revealed that the 1982 model airplane was purchased by the company 4 months prior to the accident. Despite several attempts to obtain a completed NTSB Form 6120.1/2, the pilot did not return the requested form.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

What has to happen to get consumers to apply their knowledge on sustainable consumption to their everyday shopping habits? Which population groups are most affected by the consequences of anthropogenic climate change and the necessary adaptation strategies? Does the withdrawal of the public sector from the fields of water, electricity and gas supply harbour risks with regard to social justice and environmental protection, or does it open up more scope for sustainable action?
The "Social-Ecological Research" funding priority is characterized by the interdisciplinary pooling of knowledge to provide scientific contributions to solving concrete social problems of sustainability. As a rule, this requires interdisciplinary cooperation between researchers in the natural and the social sciences. As these are problems of everyday life, research must look beyond the science system and take into account the expert knowledge which exists in practice (transdisciplinarity). All societal stakeholders – consumers, municipalities, companies and civil society – are therefore involved in the research process in different ways. The objective is sustainable development, i.e. the ecological modernization of society without neglecting mankind's desire for social justice and prosperity. This is a highly complex task which is at the top of the Federal Government's research agenda.

Jolla pitches Sailfish tablet against fleet of Android products
Finnish smartphone startup Jolla is hoping to break into the tablet market with its Sailfish OS running on a device with a high-resolution 7.85-inch screen.
Finnish smartphone startup Jolla is hoping to break into the tablet market with its Sailfish OS running on a device with a high-resolution 7.85-inch screen.
Low operating costs combined with a differentiated operating system and close communication with users will help Jolla survive in the cutthroat smartphone market, according to CEO Tomi Pienimäki.
The newer smartphone OS entrants competing to chip away at the dominance of Android and iOS are heading to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress, and facing a landscape that has changed since last year's show.
Finnish smartphone start-up Jolla has launched its online shop, where European customers can buy its first device.
Finnish smartphone start-up Jolla will start shipping the first batch of its debut smartphone in its home country on Nov. 27.
Just as smartphone manufacturer HTC was beginning to claw back some market share with its refreshed HTC One line, two former company executives have announced the launch of a new mobile brand called Kazam, which they claim will "disrupt the status qu...
Finnish startup Jolla has announced its first smartphone, which shows off its Sailfish OS on a 4.5-inch screen.
The CEO of Finnish smartphone upstart Jolla is stepping down to focus his energy on the development of the Sailfish operating system as the company gets ready to show its first product later this month.
Finnish company Jolla and its CEO Marc Dillon are hoping to convince consumers that buying a new smartphone isn't just about the number of cores available and the size of the screen when the company later this year releases the first smartphone based...
Smartphones running Mozilla Firefox and Jolla Sailfish will launch separately in 2013 amid a crowded smartphone market.
Breaking into the smartphone market with a new platform may seem to be a tall order, but Finnish company Jolla think it can be done and has demonstrated the user interface of its upcoming operating system Sailfish.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It's been 28 years of waiting for an Acadiana family, waiting for answers in the 1984 murder of Gary Kergan. Gary disappeared on November 29, 1984, and while a body was never found, Baton Rouge Police believe he was murdered. Two people were arrested just weeks later, but they were never charged with the murder becase prosecutors said there was a lack of evidence in the the case.
Fast forward almost three decades, and murder suspects Ronald Dunnagan and Leila Mulla are back in jail, charged with Gary's murder. The cold case was cracked, thanks in part to DNA technology, and now Gary's family may finally see justice served.
Gary's brother, Ted Kergan, said he never stopped looking for answers after his brother went missing so long ago.
"It was always very much alive for us. The file for all this has pretty much been sitting on my desk this whole time, and I look at it every day and I kind of thumb through it every day," said Ted.
Police believe Dunnagan and Mulla beat Gary to death, stole his car and got rid of the body in 1984. Investigators found a significant amount of blood in Gary's abandoned car in Metarie, but couldn't match it him. And with no body, prosecutors didn't go forward with the case.
"Back in '84 the police didn't even have my brother's blood type, so it was hard to tie some of the evidence together," explained Ted.
So when Baton Rouge police opened up a cold case division, Ted saw the wheels starting to turn. DNA technology that wasn't around in 1984, was the missing link.
Ted's reaction when he finally got the call, "And he said an arrest is imminent and that was really shocking to me... We'd just gotten so used to waiting."
For now the wait is over, Dunnagan was picked up by police in Bosier City; Mulla was arrested in New York. As the case goes to trial, Ted hopes his brother gets justice, but closure may never come.
"No it never fills the void. I hope that as this prosecution goes forward, that we can make some sense out of it, because we certainly don't now," said Ted.
As this case goes to trial, investigators are "cautiously optimistic" that they might also finally find Gary's body. Something that has yet to happen.

As we mentioned a couple of months ago, Louisville defensive coordinator Vance Bedford is not only awesome at leading the Cardinal defense, he's also pretty awesome on social media.
Coach Bedford took to his Vine account this afternoon with some quick clips of the team working out in the weight room.
