- Building on the success of transferring data between GNU Radio and multimon using a named pipe, I decided to try the same trick to send real time video from Gstreamer to GNU Radio. It worked!
- Implemented a simple video transmission simulator by sending the video through a GMSK modulator, adding noise, then GMSK demodulator. See recorded video.
- Although the MPEG-TS muxer available in Gstreamer can not deliver CBR, sending the GMSK modulated video to the USRP didn't seem to be a problem.
- Having only one USRP I didn't try to receive and decode the video.
- Successful on the air tests of the DVB setup using a videotestsrc
- Location: OZ7SAT
- Repeated on the air tests at OZ7SAT (to be sure that it wasn't just some sort of random luck)
- Video test source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VUZ7H60F68
- Logitech Webcam Pro 9000: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzIe_IWGvmA
- At Høm for the weekend and only brought one USRP and one laptop
- Created a full duplex transceiver version of the GMSK TX+RX so that I could run both transmitter and receiver using only one USRP and computer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJg2zAd3kRY
- The transceiver was running stable for more than 4.5 hours, see last screenshot.
- With this setup, the video appeared to be more choppy than with the two-computer setup.
- Imported the source code to http://github.com/csete/gnuradio-dvb
- GMSK modulator generates 2 samples/symbol and I have 1 bit/symbol. Therefore, the input data rate to the GMSK modulator should be 500 kbps for a 1 Msps stream to the USRP.
- The packet encoder adds 12 bytes overhead to each packet – at least when using default access code. With a payload size of 4000, this overhead corresponds to 1.5 kbps.
- Setting H-264 encoder bitrate to 498 kbps (didn't make much difference).
- Found a very interesting example in the py-gst repository for how to switch between different video sources, see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-python/tree/examples/switch.py
- Tried to make a simple video input switcher based on the switch.py example and although I can switch between the inputs, I can not have both local monitor and H.264 encoder attached to the output (using a splitter of course). This is weir since I have done pretty much the same in my webcam example in the Gstreamer Cheat Sheet.
- Found out the problem is connecting the splitter to H.264 -- the setup works fine using theoraenc!
- Found out that on Ubuntu 9.10 the multicam.py also works with H.264
- The Gstreamer packages are the same on 9.10 and 10.04 (I use PPA), but, the x264enc plugin is in the plugins-ugly-universe, which is Ubuntu and not PPA package. So it could be either due to libx264 or x264enc plugin or both.
- The input-selector appears to cause 100% CPU load on one core. Confirmed by executing two equivalent pipelines without input-selector which had much lower CPU load.
- Created a mapping between Pixel formats for camera, fourcc and gstreamer.
- Tested Theora in Ogg container using videotestsrc and the simulator. Worked very well.
- Tested the Theora version using the gmsk_trx script. Worked well and very stable for 2+ hours using the videotestsrc.
- With camera it looses sync after a few minutes and mplayer spits out "Ogg: bad packet in stream 0" messages.
- Pushed updated code to http://github.com/csete/gnuradio-dvb
- Made a blog post about the Theora+Ogg experiment.
- Did a few experiments studying the video freeze every 2 seconds (for ~300 msec). Noticed it before but didn't look into the problem in details.
- Used the transceiver setup (only have one USRP at the moment)
- The freeze occurs at any frame rate and video size and is always 2 seconds
- The freeze only occurs when I have both USRP and camera connected - the stream runs smoothly when using a video test pattern (no camera)
- Packet encode payload size or "Pad for USRP" does not make any difference
- Also freezes when using pre-recorded video file as input to GNU Radio → It is not Gstreamer
- Also freezes when running in simulator mode → It is not the USRP (Uhm... This is TBC! I think it is just a typo in my notes)
- Confirmed that the freeze every 2 seconds also occur on the much faster (i7) computer
- Setup tested again using separate RX and TX: The video freezes every 2 seconds also occurs in this case just as when running in transceiver mode
- Tried to connect USRP and webcam on different USB hosts → still have the freeze
- OZ2ABA suggested to add a monitor to the to see if it can narrow down where the problem occurs (at this point I forgot about the results with the simulator and the file input to GR, see 2010.09.05)
- Thinking that I should maybe also try an UDP interface between Gstreamer and GNU Radio on the TX side.
- Reran the setup in the simulator and as expected, no freezing in the stream (c.f. last note from 2010.09.05)
- Tried adding a TX monitoring FIFO to the TRX flow graph → it's choppiness was much worse than the receiver. The freezes cam much more frequently and seemed to be irregular. Same result when using the TX-only flow graph.
- Tried playing a bit with the filesink parameters (sync, async, buffered) but didn't make any difference. There are still some buffer sizes but I find it difficult to understand what the various parameters control. I guess I will have to look at the source code for that.
- Got a message from Gallamine that the experiment DVB setup was used to do streaming video over an underwater laser link :)

|This article is about the emblem for Varsity Scouts. For the 'V' emblem awarded to Boy Scouts in a Venture patrol see Venture Patrol Letter.
|Varsity Scout Letter
The letter is attached at the bottom front corner of the merit badge sash.
The letter may be worn on the right breast of a the blaze (orange) nylon Varsity Scout Jacket.
A Varsity Scout letter may be earned by Varsity Scouts and adult team leaders in a who participate in an ultimate adventure based on a high-adventure or sports feature.
The Varsity Scout program is a stand-alone unit within a chartered organization. Youth members of a Varsity Scout Team are boys 14 to 17 years old organized in squads. The Varsity Scout's youth leader is the team Captain. The Varsity Scout letter is administered by the Varsity Team Coach.
Varsity Scout Letter requirements
Varsity Scout letter
The Varsity Scout letter is awarded to team members who participate in an "ultimate adventure." Ultimate adventures are based on high-adventure or sports program features and are preceded by training or practice sessions. High-adventure/sports activities occur every three to six months, but teams participate in a "big event" (an extended experience such as a BSA high-adventure base) once a year. The "V" emblem may be placed on the bottom-front of a Boy Scout sash, or on a blaze (orange) Varsity Scout jacket, a Boy Scout Shirt-jac, or a sweater.
Varsity Scout letter bar
Main article: Varsity Scout Letter Bar
Varsity Scouts earn the letter at the conclusion of the first ultimate adventure, and receive another letter (a Varsity Scout letter bar that pins to the letter emblem) for each adventure completed thereafter.
Varsity Scout activity pins
Main article: Varsity Scout Activity Pins
In addition to the Varsity Scout letter or letter bar, team members may be optionally awarded one of 27 Varsity Scout Activity Pins to the letter emblem. The team captain (youth leader) sets the requirements and awards the activity pins. Activities are planned by the youth High-adventure/Sports program manager; possible activities may be other than the 27 program features. Activities outside of the program features are not awarded activity pins.
Both youth and adult team members may earn the letter.

French homegrown jihadists

After a deadly sting operation, the French wonder if an allegedly homegrown jihadist cell might be the new shape of radical Islam. Authorities describe them as a recently radicalized bunch, whose conversion took place in prison and is fuelled by messages of hate on the internet.

Amp up your energy levels because Belfast packs it in when it comes to sightseeing. From the incredible Titanic Belfast to the energy of a Belfast Giants ice hockey game, here are five to try
Immerse yourself in the story of the Titanic, the ship that was built in Belfast and, as the world knows, hit an iceberg. The tragedy is now commemorated with an impressive visitor centre at the very place where the liner was crafted.
Opened in 2012, Titanic Belfast is the same height as the ship and is made up of nine galleries spread over six floors telling the story from rivets to requiem, with visitor experience reviews on TripAdvisor describing it as "absolutely amazing", and "an attraction not to be missed".
Allow at least three hours to take in a mix of moving images, special effects and reconstructions – and do book tickets in advance. As the Huffington Post describes, it's "simply awe-inspiring at each step. It's not a museum; it's an experience."
For an authentic taste of Belfast life, make your way to the renovated St George's Market. It's in full flow on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. More than 150 traders set up stalls laden with everything from antiques to shark meat.
Tuck into a Belfast belly-buster or Ulster fry, which will fill you for the day; or head over to Aunt Sandra's Candy Factory, with its delicious fudge and colourful sweets. Trust us: it's impossible to go away empty-handed.

One of the best ways to see Belfast's famous wall art is to sign up for a Black Taxi Tour. Knowledgeable drivers supply an informative history lesson, which reflects on both the city's intrinsic traditions and tells the story of the Troubles.
The wide range of themes covers political turmoil and conflict to commemoration of much older historic and religious events. It also looks at the more recent murals livening up the city, which celebrates sporting and cultural icons of the city. Bring a camera, this is unmissable.
Since they arrived in 2000, the Belfast Giants – the city's first ice-hockey team based in the Odyssey Arena – have taken the city by storm, and have built up a huge local fan base. The team's motto: "In the land of the Giants, everyone is equal" gives them mass appeal and there's an electric atmosphere at games during a season that runs from September to April.
Rock and pop gigs are also held at the Odyssey Arena, which is a massive entertainment complex complete with cinema, IMAX theatre, and indoor bowling alley, as well as cafés, bars and restaurants. It also houses a huge science centre known as W5, a hands-on approach to interpreting science that boasts a staggering 180 interactive exhibits. Cool stuff for kids of all ages…
Gleaming from a multi-million pound redevelopment, the Ulster Museum's forte is the history and prehistory of Ireland using exhibitions that trace the rise of Belfast's crafts and trades. There are marvels wherever you turn, so give yourself enough time to enjoy it all.
The doors open to rooms on geology, European and American art, the history of the Troubles, and much more. Children, in particular, love the skeleton of the extinct Irish giant deer as well as the famed Egyptian mummy Takabuti.

Wiki Links
Does it make sense to link to Wikipedia? Isn't that what THIS site is for? An up-to-date wiki? I'd like to see those links removed and links to SOURCES rather than the pages that simply cite the source.
PS It was the titles that were confusing me... they're linked rather than titles. Going to change them very soon. EagleForumFan 04:13, December 18, 2007 (EST)
Cheat Sheets
The Cheat Sheet text and links have been removed. We provide resources to help a Scout do his own work, not cheat. If you see cheat sheet materials or links posted, please help us remove them.
We teach the words of the Scout Law with our words. We teach the meaning of the Scout Law with our actions. Milominderbinder2 16:13, March 28, 2008 (EDT) sysop
- Correct. But a 30 page website devoted to helping Scouts earn a Merit Badge by explaining the concepts or to help counselors teach is not a "Cheat Sheet" any more than the Merit Badge pamphlet is a "Cheat Book". The boy still needs to meet with a counselor to do the work. I've personally taught this merit badge to over 300 Scouts. Gary Wilson, 50 year Scout veteran, Wood Badge staffer, and Unit Commissioner, Mercer Area District, Central New Jersey Council. GCW50 14:30, June 12, 2008 (EDT)
- Gary, you have done a tremendous amount of work on your website to develop a perfect answer key for Radio Merit Badge. Your spectrum and block diagrams are spot on. In less than 2 minutes a Scout should be able to cut and paste your answers together and complete the merit badge. What could a Merit Badge Counselor say? The Scout would have your perfect answer key.
- Using the Radio Merit Badge Pamphlet, an older Scout should be able to read, find his answers, and make his own diagrams in three hours or so. A younger Scout might need four or five hours to find his own answers. It is slower but allows the Scout to learn by doing.
- Counselors provide guidance and encouragement but we have to let each Scout do his own work. Accordingly we removed the answer key you posted on MeritBadge.org and the link to your site with the same answer key.
- Please give the Scouts the chance to do their own work. Please let them learn by doing. As one Eagle Scout to another, I ask you, please take down your answer key. — Milominderbinder2 (Sysop) 21:42, June 15, 2008 (EDT)
- The argument is specious and the the site isn't any more of an answer key than the pamphlet. Any boy could copy the very same block diagram from page 13 or the spectrum diagram from page 17 in the Radio Merit Badge pamphlet just as easily as from the web site. Do you also propose to ban a boy from reading the pamphlet as well?
- As a MB counselor it's our job to ensure that a boy meets the requirements exactly as written; no more, no less. For most items where a boy has to draw something, they normally have to explain it as well. How they get the information to learn it and explain it is totally up to them. Pamphlets, web sites or classes are just different options they may choose to use. Learning it from a summary is not cheating as long as they learned it. And that's all the official BSA advancement literature says about the subject. In fact, pamphlets are just another aid and they didn't even exist for the first twenty years of the MB program.
- You seem to be implying here that a boy has to go to original source material to learn something for a merit badge. I disagree. If you can find it written anywhere in official BSA advancement literature that a boy has to go to original source material (which would probably also ban the MB pamphlets!) then it might make make sense to characterize my web site as an answer key. But you won't. There's an a excellent summary of all of the BSA rules relating to earning Merit Badges on this wiki site, so you might want to start your search there. BTW, I teach Counseling Merit Badges at Wood Badge. YIS, Gary Wilson GCW50 22:12, June 15, 2008 (EDT)
- Gary's Radio Merit Badge web site and our (previously agreed upon) reciprocal links remain acceptable. —RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 00:42, June 19, 2008 (EDT)
Requirement Typos
Requirement 2a is not a question and should end in a period. Requirement 4 is missing the word "receiver" after "transmitter". Each sub requirement in section 9 is now in parens, not period. e.g. 9 a (1) , not 9 a. 1.
Also, someone said national allows the shortwave stations to be plotted on a map instead of a globe, but didn't prove evidence of this change. I thus removed it. A map can't show great circle distance or grey line propagation very well which is why a globe was specified when we wrote the requirement.
Finally, I don't think these requirements came from the 2008 requirements book; they were revised in the color August 2008 edition of the Radio Merit Badge pamphlet well after the 2008 requirements book was published.
GCW50 04:55, January 11, 2009 (EST)
- Someone got rid of the stray question mark, but requirement 4 is still wrong and differs from the August 2008 Radio Merit Badge pamphlet. It should read:
- "Explain how radio waves carry information. Include in your explanation: transceiver, transmitter, receiver, amplifier, and antenna." GCW50 08:46, January 14, 2009 (EST)
Workbook Corrections
For requirement 3a,the spectrum space provided is in an unusable format. There's no way a Scout can draw a spectrum chart in one single 8.5 inch space, as the necessary bandwidth for communication is logrithmic with frequency. Also, the new requirement eliminates LF and adds microwaves so it can't end at 1 GHz.
See page 28 of the Radio MB Pamphlet or my website for how it should be laid out. That's with four horizontal lines, with the top being MF going from 0.3 to 3.0 MHz; the next being HF going from 3.0 MHz to 30 MHz; the next being VHF, going from 30 MHz to 300 MHz; and the bottom one being UHF going from 300 MHz to 3.0 GHz. Obviously the colored radio services should not be on the workbook as the that's what the Scouts need to add.
Also, the requirement for the Shortwave option 9c(1)is quite specifically to use a globe, so please remove the map. One can't see the impact of Great Circle paths nor understand Grey Line propagation very well on a flat Mercator projection.
The space for logging the amateur contact (9a(2))should follow the column structure and headings of a standard ham radio logbook as shown as on page 59 of the Radio Merit Badge pamphlet. The same logbook format is used for both the Broadcast station listening log(9b(2))and shortwave listening log (9c(1), except that the POWER column is omitted, The STATION WORKED becomes STATION HEARD, the two REPORT columns become one SINPO column, and the terms QTH, NAME, & QSL VIA are not used in the COMMENTS column heading. What you might want to do to save paper is make a landscape format logbook sheet of each of the two types of radio logbook as the last page of the workbook. They'll need at least fifteen lines on it for entries.

What's new - Dec 2008
|Fixed a typo in the episode Amok Time, thank to "me,myself and I".
|In a close run thing, 52 to 48 of our viewers would like to see a remade TOS series. Have to say, seeing the remastered versions certainly whetted my appetite for more of that kind of thing. This week we're asking you which version of the E-nil you like the best...
|Thanks to kostmayer, twitch2oh, and Tsukiyumi for pointing out a bunch of nits in the episode pages. All now fixed.
|Caption Competition
|Congratulations to Tsukiyumi, winner of last week's competition. This week, a shot from the TOS episode "What are Little Girls Made Of".
|Merry xmas to all our visitors.
|6 millionth visitor
|Well today is a new milestone for the DITL, we have just had our six millionth visitor to the site since records began in 1998. Congratulations go to James Bateman, who managed to arrive on the site just in time to be number 6,000,000!
|Well I was quite surprised to find that you don't like the idea that the new movie's differences from TOS were due to it being in an alternate timeline. I thought that was a good idea myself.
This week we're asking whether, assuming the new movie is a success, you would like to see a new TOS series along the lines of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica.
|Caption Competition
|Congratulations to DBB, winner of last week's competition. This week, a snap from ENT "The Catwalk".
|Majel Barrett
|Although not a news site in any way, now and again this site has taken a moment to mark the passing of one or another of those connected with Star Trek. Today, Thursday 18th December, Majel Barrett died.
Majel is a lady who is intimately connected with Star Trek. She was there right at the beginning, playing Number One in the very first episode ever filmed. Indeed she was in the very first scene of that episode. Of all the countless hours of Star Trek that exist, the seventh line ever spoken was one of hers.
Her involvement doesn't even come close to ending there, of course. Although her character of Number One was dropped, she returned as Nurse Chapel during TOS. She went on to provide voices for the animated series before returning to play Lwaxana Troi on TNG, along with providing the voice for the computer on the Enterprise-D. Lwaxana returned in Deep Space Nine several times, and Majel provided the computer's voice for Voyager as well. She was the First Lady of Star Trek, both literally and in terms of the sheer duration of her tenure.
With Enterprise it looked like there may be no place for Majel, but she did manage to make an appearance, as the Defiant's computer voice in the mirror universe episodes, and as the Enterprise-D's computer in the final episode, an amazing forty one years later. She thus became the only person to appear in all six Star Trek series plus the TOS and TNG movie franchises.
And then, just recently, it was announced that she would be providing the voice for the Enterprise computer in the upcoming Star Trek XI movie. It was a wonderful decision. I can only hope that she recorded her part before the end. If so, then her involvement in Trek will be extended to forty five years.
Her involvement in science fiction wasn't limited to Star Trek, of course. Majel has appeared in Babylon 5, was a co-producer on Andromeda, appeared in Earth : Final Conflict, The Questor Tapes, Westworld, and more.
Another part of her legacy in this world of Trek, of course, comes from her relationship with Gene Roddenberry. She was his wife for twenty two years, and in many ways carried on his legacy after his death. Majel helped to create Andromeda and Earth : Final Conflict based on ideas Gene created.
She died from complications stemming from leukemia at the age of 76. She will be missed. And I for one think it would be fitting to dedicate Trek XI to her memory.
|Well people generally approve of the new Enterprise design, though hardly an overwhelmingly positive response with slightly less than 50% voting for "it's okay" or worse. This week we probe your reaction to the news that the movie will, for the most part, take part in an alternate timeline.
|Caption Competition
|Congratulations to drow, winner of last week's competition - his fifth win!This week, a shot from Voyager's "Random Thoughts".
|Well, as you can see, our initial decorations are up.
|Well, reaction to the new ST XI trailer was overwhelmingly positive. Now we ask what you think of the new look ship herself.
|Caption Competition
|Congratulations to Sondak, winner of last week's competition. This week, a pic from DS9's "Dramatis Personae".
|The TNG "Remember Me" review has been expanded.
|The episode reviews of "The Measure of a Man" and "The Dauphin" have been expanded.
|This week we ask what you think of the new ST XI trailer. In case you haven't seen it, have a peek here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN12I15zNuc
|Caption Competition
|Sorry for the slight delay in the Cap Comp, it's now done and congratualtions to The Geek, last week's winner. This week a shot from TNGs "Schisms".

BEETHOVEN FOR ALL Piano Concertos 4783515
. . . Barenboim's mature presence and authority cast a very different, and far more intimate, spell. Serving as both pianist and conductor, Barenboim delivers a double whammy -- phrasing and weight are gauged exactly to his specifications. The Staatskapelle Berlin (the orchestra of the Berlin State Opera) is a chamber-sized ensemble of just about 30 musicians, but there's nothing small or precious about these performances. Barenboim takes a sculpted, muscular approach to the concertos, and the moments he creates are quite poignant. Take, for example, the poignant narrative he and his musicians create in the slow movement of the Fourth Concerto. The orchestra bears down in full, fierce darkness on the piano's still, small light -- and the last moments are utterly heartbreaking. As befits Beethoven, it's not all darkness, though. Graciousness and joy flood the uptempo movements, as in the concluding Rondo of the Concerto No. 1. In a more driving performance, it's easy for the soloist to lose track of the main theme's good humor and lightness, but Barenboim brings out its good humor. The sound is very, very present -- you'll feel like you're sitting right amidst the orchestra players . . . If you like to hear all the small details of a performance rather than a fuzzy, warm wash of sound, this engineering will please you.
The First and Second are energetic pieces with hearts of gold. Barenboim gives them majestic, unhurried performances to search out the music's numerous possibilities. These works have been lifelong passions for him and he directs his Berlin orchestra in a way designed to communicate that passion.
The first thing to strike the listener is the wide recording range and involving soundstage. The orchestra is superb, too, with a gloriously warm sound, and Barenboim's rapport with the players is palpable . . . Barenboim projects the melodies of the slow movements to perfection (try No 1's Largo, for instance, with its superb sense of dialogue). If No 2's orchestral exposition sounds almost Mozartian, it is to match Barenboim's grace and clarity of articulation . . . No 5, full of energy and depth, is its crowning glory.
. . . this set has a welcome sense of freshness . . . the concertos no. 3 and no. 4 sound terrific . . . [Beethoven 1 & 2]: the playing is terrific and the wind detail is distinguished . . . the overall package is worth having, even if you've heard these works over and over again.

LoopBuddy Overview
LoopBuddy is a tool that overwrites a WordPress Loop using a combination of a custom query and a custom Loop layout. You can also create your own Loops using the LoopBuddy shortcode and LoopBuddy widget.
Query Editor
If LoopBuddy was a body, the Query Editor would be the brain, with the Layout Editor being the outside bodily appearance.
With the Query Editor, you can create Query Groups. Each Query Group defines what data a WordPress Loop is supposed to pull in.
With the Query Editor, you can define:
- Which posts to gather
- Whether pagination or comments are enabled
- Whether to use the default post ID (if on a single post or page)
- and much, much more...
Layout Editor
The Layout Editor controls how a particular WordPress Loop is supposed to be structured. At the heart of the Layout Editor is Layout Tags. There are several Layout Tags built-in, but you can use the LoopBuddy Hooks to create your own custom Layout Tag and Layout Tag Items.
With the Layout Editor, simply drag Layout Tags into the appropriate area. If you create a new Layout, there are several default tags that are added automatically.
Global Settings
The Global LoopBuddy Settings allow you to globally override a default WordPress Loop. If your theme doesn't support the Loop Standard, you'll see an error message at the top.
If your theme does support the Loop Standard, you can use the options to override the default WordPress Loops in various areas of the site.
Although LoopBuddy attempts to work without a custom Query, it is highly advisable to use a custom Query and Layout.
Within the Query and Layout lists pages, you can export/import the items so you can use the same Queries/Layouts on a different site.
This is the same page as where you create new Queries or Layouts.
LoopBuddy Widget
You can use the LoopBuddy Widget to display a LoopBuddy Query/Layout in any widgetized area of a site. Please note that you must have a Query AND a Layout for the widget to work.
LoopBuddy Shortcode
The LoopBuddy shortcode takes two attributes: a Query ID and a Layout ID. Please note that you must have a Query AND a Layout for the widget to work.
Simply insert the shortcode into a post or page:
[loopbuddy query_id='0' layout_id='0']
LoopBuddy Full 1 Hour Webinar
Learn the ins and outs of LoopBuddy with the following 1 hour Webinar, made by our very own Webdesign.com
The Loop Standard
The Loop Standard divides a loop into two main concepts: a loop and one or more entries.
Both a loop and an entry have three sections: a header, a content section, and a footer. The header contains title information, any meta information, and any necessary navigation links. The content section contains the content relevant to that loop or entry. The footer section is a place to hold additional or duplicate meta information and navigation links.
The Loop Explained
The content of a loop is a bit more complex than the content of an entry as a loop's content contains the entries. To better visualize this, here is the basic structure described so far:
- Loop
- Header
- title
- navigation
- meta
- Content
- Entry
- Header
- title
- navigation
- meta
- Content
- Footer
- navigation
- meta
- Header
- Additional entries...
- Footer
- navigation
- meta
- Entry
- Header
The idea is that each section is broken out in a repeatable pattern. This makes styling easier as any content that follows this form can be styled without having to first read through the code in order to understand the structure.
You may notice that there are titles, navigation, and meta for both the entries and the loop. This is because some titles, navigation, and meta are relevant to the loop (the title archive, navigating between pages of posts, or information about an author in an author archive) while other titles, navigation, and meta are relevant to the entry (the blog post's title, navigating through a page split into multiple pages, or a blog post's category information). The rule of thumb is that if the information is specific to an individual post's, page's, etc content, it is an entry-level structure; otherwise, it is a loop-level structure.
Each of these sections have a specific class in the Loop Standard. Here is the structure again with the classes replacing the names:
- loop
- loop-header
- loop-title
- loop-utility
- loop-meta
- loop-content
- hentry
- entry-header
- entry-title
- entry-utility
- entry-meta
- entry-content
- entry-footer
- entry-utility
- entry-meta
- entry-header
- hentry...
- hentry
- loop-footer
- loop-utility
- loop-meta
- loop-header
Notice the "hentry" class. This looks odd but is actually generated by WordPress internally. It is produced by the
post_class() function that is in 2010 and 2011 theme template files. So when you see "hentry", know that this is simply the div that looks like :
<div <?php post_class(); ?>>

Here is the standard loop in practice:
- loop
- loop-header
- loop-title (page-title)
- loop-content
- hentry
- entry-header (title)
- entry-title (post-title)
- entry-meta (post-meta)
- entry-meta date (date)
- entry-content (post-content)
- entry-footer (meta-bottom)
- entry-meta alignright (alignright)
- entry-meta alignleft (meta-bottom-left)
- entry-header (title)
- hentry...
- hentry
- loop-footer
- loop-utility (paging)
- loop-header
Not all the elements from above structure examples were used since not all were needed. In the end, only three elements had to be added. The rest of the changes were simply modifying or adding classes to conform to the Loop Standard structure. For some elements, such as "date", the "date" class remained while also getting the "entry-meta" class. This makes it clear what type of structure it is while still giving the additional meaning of it being a container for the date.
Modifying a Theme to Use LoopBuddy
Here's an example of TwentyTen's index.php file before it begins loading the various templates:
<?php if ( ! dynamic_loop() ) : ?>
 <?php /* Run the loop to output the posts. * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file * called loop-index.php and that will be used instead. */ get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' ); ?>
 <?php endif; ?>
dynamic_loop() is executed, LoopBuddy searches to see if this particular loop should be overridden. If not, the normal loop executes. If so, then LoopBuddy overwrites the content of the loop with LoopBuddy content.
Example of TwentyTen Using the Loop Standard
Here's an example TwentyTen Loop converted to using the Loop Standard
<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php previous_post_link( '%link', '' . _x( '←', 'Previous post link', 'twentyten' ) . ' %title' ); ?>

<?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title ' . _x( '→', 'Next post link', 'twentyten' ) . '' ); ?>

 <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

<?php the_title(); ?>

 <?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>

 <?php the_content(); ?> <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '
' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '
' ) ); ?>

 <?php if ( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) ) : // If a user has filled out their description, show a bio on their entries ?>

 <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), apply_filters( 'twentyten_author_bio_avatar_size', 60 ) ); ?>

<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'About %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ); ?>
 <?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?>
 <a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>"> <?php printf( __( 'View all posts by %s →', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ); ?>

 <?php endif; ?>
 <?php twentyten_posted_in(); ?> <?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '', '' ); ?>

<?php previous_post_link( '%link', '' . _x( '←', 'Previous post link', 'twentyten' ) . ' %title' ); ?>

<?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title ' . _x( '→', 'Next post link', 'twentyten' ) . '' ); ?>

 <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
 <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
After updating the template files, go through the theme's style.css file in order to update class references to match the new ones. Here are some basic replacements to make:
- .page-title → .loop-title
- .title → .entry-header
- .post-title [h1, h2, h3, etc] (any instance of .post-title followed by a header tag) → .entry-title
- .post-title → .entry-title
- .post-meta → .entry-meta
- .post-content → .entry-content
- .meta-top → .entry-header
- .meta-bottom → .entry-footer
- .post → .hentry
- .paging → .loop-utility
Showing LoopBuddy Theme Support
After you've modified your theme's loops, show LoopBuddy that your theme supports it by adding in the following line to your theme's functions.php file:
// Add support for the Loop Standard add_theme_support( 'loop-standard' );
Adding the Dynamic Loop Function to Your Theme
The Dynamic Loop function must be added to your theme's functions.php file. This is achieved by adding the following code to the end of the function.php file:
// Add dynamic_loop function for LoopBuddy /* Copyright 2011 iThemes (email: firstname.lastname@example.com) Written by Chris Jean Version 0.0.1 Version History 0.0.1 - 2011-02-28 - Chris Jean Initial version */ if ( ! function_exists( 'dynamic_loop' ) ) { function dynamic_loop() { global $dynamic_loop_handlers; if ( empty( $dynamic_loop_handlers ) || ! is_array( $dynamic_loop_handlers ) ) return false; ksort( $dynamic_loop_handlers ); foreach ( (array) $dynamic_loop_handlers as $handlers ) { foreach ( (array) $handlers as $function ) { if ( is_callable( $function ) && ( false != call_user_func( $function ) ) ) { return true; } } } return false; } } if ( ! function_exists( 'register_dynamic_loop_handler' ) ) { function register_dynamic_loop_handler( $function, $priority = 10 ) { global $dynamic_loop_handlers; if ( ! is_numeric( $priority ) ) $priority = 10; if ( ! isset( $dynamic_loop_handlers ) || ! is_array( $dynamic_loop_handlers ) ) $dynamic_loop_handlers = array(); if ( ! isset( $dynamic_loop_handlers[$priority] ) || ! is_array( $dynamic_loop_handlers[$priority] ) ) $dynamic_loop_handlers[$priority] = array(); $dynamic_loop_handlers[$priority][] = $function; } }

Example TwentyEleven Theme
Here's an example TwentyEleven theme that has been modified to be compatible with LoopBuddy.
Example Layout Tag
Check out the LoopBuddy Marquee Plugin: LoopBuddy Marquee as an example of creating custom tags.
Example Queries/Layouts
Please see below for a ZIP file of some sample layouts and queries that can be imported.
LoopBuddy Query
The LoopBuddy Query is where you create Queries, which in turn create and produce the Loops you want in WordPress. From showing certain posts to the number of posts, categories, posts with specific meta values and more, the LoopBuddy Query area is where you specify exactly what should be shown, and exactly what should not be shown, in a LoopBuddy output.
Advanced Meta Queries
With LoopBuddy 1.2, LoopBuddy Queries now allow you to perform some very powerful advanced Meta queries. Here is a video explaining and giving some examples of the advanced meta queries:
Advanced Taxonomy Queries
With LoopBuddy 1.2, LoopBuddy Queries now allow you to perform some very powerful advanced Taxonomy queries. Here is a video explaining and giving some examples of the advanced Taxonomy queries:
LoopBuddy allows you to create custom tags for the Layout editor. This is advanced functionality, so please don't attempt these steps if you are not intimately familiar with PHP and how LoopBuddy operates.
To create the custom tag, you must use the following hooks.
Creating a new Custom Tag
<?php add_filter( 'pb_loopbuddy_custom_tags', 'my_custom_tag_add' ); function my_custom_tag_add( $custom_tags ) { //Always return $custom_tags $custom_tags[ 'start_wrap' ] = array( 'My Tag Label', array( 'wrap' => 'div', 'custom_class' => 'default class' ) ); return $custom_tags; } //end my_custom_tag_add //Start off with the tag name, give the tag a label, and pass it which items it supports (all should ideally contain the 'wrap' and 'custom_class' items ?>
Here are some built in tag items that you can choose from:
- link_text
- custom_url
- custom_class
- link_title
- before_text
- after_text
- meta_key
- max_width
- max_height
- shortcode
- author_link_destination
- user_profile
- permalink
- attachment_link_display
- separator
- text
- date_format
- comment_number_zero
- comment_number_one
- comment_number_more
- post_date
- bloginfo
- content_more
- url_display
- image_size
Creating a new custom tag item
<?php add_filter( 'pb_loopbuddy_tag_items', 'my_custom_item_add' ); function my_custom_item_add( $loopbuddy_items ) { //Always return $loopbuddy_items $loopbuddy_items[ 'my_custom_item' ] = array( 'function' => 'callback_function', 'args' => array( 'label' => __( 'Link Text', 'LION' ), 'tip' => __( 'Optional text for link. Leave blank to use link as the text.', 'LION' ), 'options' => array( 'option1', 'option2' ) ) ); return $loopbuddy_items; } //end my_custom_item_add /* $settings are the arguments passed for the tag item and looks like this [label] => HTML Wrapper [tip] => Choose which HTML element to wrap around the item [options] => Array ( [0] => none [1] => span [2] => div [3] => p [4] => h1 [5] => h2 [6] => h3 [7] => h4 [8] => h5 [9] => h6 ) [key] => wrap [settings] => Array ( [image_size] => thumbnail [max_width] => [max_height] => [wrap] => p [before_text] => [after_text] => [custom_url] => [custom_class] => attachment [tag] => wp_get_attachment_image ) ) */ function callback_function( $settings ) { $defaults = array( 'key' => '', 'label' => '', 'tip' => false, 'settings' => array(), 'options' => array() ); extract( wp_parse_args( $settings, $defaults ) ); //Output HTML for the item } //end callback_function ?>
Callback function for displaying the tag - pb_loopbuddy_tag_callback-{tag_name}
<?php /*$settings contains the tag items and the tag item's value Example Array ( [image_size] => thumbnail [max_width] => [max_height] => [wrap] => p [before_text] => [after_text] => [custom_url] => [custom_class] => attachment [tag] => wp_get_attachment_image ) */ //Add header code add_action( 'pb_loopbuddy_tag_header-mytagname', 'my_custom_tag_header' ); function my_custom_tag_header( $settings ) { echo "my header, notes, or other code"; //Render your tag based on its settings } //end my_custom_tag_header //Add footer code add_action( 'pb_loopbuddy_tag_footer-mytagname', 'my_custom_tag_footer' ); function my_custom_tag_footer( $settings ) { echo "my footer, notes, or other code"; //Render your tag based on its settings } //end my_custom_tag_header add_filter( 'pb_loopbuddy_tag_supports-mytagname', 'my_custom_tag_supports' ); //Return an array of what tag items the tag supports function my_custom_tag_supports( $support_tag_items ) { return array( 'wrap', 'link_text', 'before_text', 'after_text', 'custom_class' ); //Render your tag based on its settings } //end my_custom_tag_supports ?>
Rendering the Tag on the Front-end - pb_loopbuddy_render-{tag_name}
<?php add_filter( 'pb_loopbuddy_render-mytagname', 'mytagname_frontend', 10, 2 ); function mytagname_frontend( $post_object, $tag_items ) { /* $tag_items look like this ( [wrap] => none [link_text] => Edit Post [before_text] => [after_text] => [custom_url] => [custom_class] => [tag] => edit_post_link ) */ $return = false; //Populate the $return variable $return = pluginbuddy_loopbuddy_render_slotitems::get_output( $return, $post_object, $tag_items, true ); //The last argument is skip_before text return $return; } //end mytagname_frontend ?>
Ignoring Post Types in the Layout Editor
There will be certain post types that are public and have a public user interface, but the user would still not like to be able to configure override settings in the LoopBuddy Settings page.
A plugin author can use the following hook to remove these post types:
<?php add_filter( 'pb_loopbuddy_exclude_post_types', 'myplugin_exclude_post_types' ); function myplugin_exclude_post_types( $post_types_to_exclude ) { $post_types_to_exclude[] = 'my_custom_post_type'; return $post_types_to_exclude; } ?>
Shortcodes basically allow almost any plugin or custom code to be plugged in anywhere in WordPress.
LoopBuddy supports shortcodes fully, allowing you to put any shortcode, whether from a plugin or your own, into any place in LoopBuddy Layout, including the Pre-Loop Text / HTML, Post-Loop Text / HTML and No Results Text / HTML sections. This probably makes the already powerful LoopBuddy the only most powerful way to control all your content, loops and display on your site.
Info on editing or adding stuff to Functions.php
Show Category/Taxonomy Description on NON-Archive pages via Shortcode
Category Descriptions are a little more sophisticated than other post related variables because if there is more than one category being used, then it will be hard for WordPress to display ALL descriptions nicely OR one category (which one?).
- Outside of archive pages, to display Category Descriptions (or any taxonomy description) you have to do the following:
- 1 : Put the following anywhere (usually near the end of the file) in your theme's custom functions.php file (it creates a shortcode you'll use to display the description of a Category or any Taxonomy):
add_action( 'init', 'lb_cat_init' ); function lb_cat_init() { add_shortcode('taxdescription', 'lb_the_description'); } //end lb_cat_init function lb_the_description() { global $post; if ( !is_object( $post ) ) return; $terms = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'description_terms', true ); $taxonomy = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'description_taxonomy', true ); $return = ''; if ( $terms && $taxonomy ) { if ( !is_array( $terms ) ) { $terms = explode( ',', $terms ); } foreach ( $terms as $term_name ) { $term = get_term_by( 'slug', $term_name, $taxonomy ); if ( !$term ) continue; $description = get_term_field( 'description', $term->term_id, $term->taxonomy ); if ( empty( $description ) || !$description ) continue; $return .= apply_filters( 'pb_the_content', $description ); } } return $return; } //end lb_the_description
- 2 : In the posts you want to show the category description, add the following 2 custom field names and values:
Custom Field Name ----- Custom Field Value
description_taxonomy ----- category
description_terms ----- books (OR any category name you have)
- 3 : Add a Shortcode Tag to your LoopBuddy layout which has the following shortcode in it:
That will show the category description anywhere you put the shortcode.
- Links with related info:
Show Custom Page Title for Same LoopBuddy Layout on Different Pages via Shortcode
- One awesome example of using Shortcodes with LoopBuddy is to show a custom page title, along with any LoopBuddy Layout content, where different pages use the same LoopBuddy Layout. Our awesome LoopBuddy customer Bruce provided the following info to help you all with that:
- 1 : Put the following anywhere (usually near the end of the file) in your theme's custom functions.php file:
function return_title() { return '
'.get_the_title().'
'; } add_shortcode('pg_title', 'return_title');
- 2 : Add
anywhere in the LoopBuddy Layout where you want to show the custom page title.
That will show the custom page title just for that specific post/page where the Layout is being shown.

External Plugins Compatibility
LoopBuddy is one of those rare plugins which can play well with many external plugins. However, any external plugin compatibility is NOT guaranteed in any manner, since external plugins are not covered nor supported by PluginBuddy in any manner or fashion.
If there is a problem when any other plugin is used with LoopBuddy, it does not mean there is a bug in LoopBuddy. First you should check if there is a problem in the other plugin (since LoopBuddy already currently works without any issues in each and every aspect of its publicized features). Then you have to see if the problem exists when the other plugin is de-activated and LoopBuddy is kept activated. Only after such steps and more analysis can we at PluginBuddy devote any time or resources to see whether or not there is something in LoopBuddy that can be fixed, enhanced or improved to make it work better with the external plugin in question, if that external plugin is not the source of the problem.
Custom Post Types
At this time, Custom Post Types UI is the only supported plugin in LoopBuddy for creating custom post types. We recommend you try and use that to create post types.
Otherwise, you should add custom post types directly to your functions.php file in your current theme.
- Related links
At this time, WP-PageNavi is the only supported plugin in LoopBuddy for having custom page navigation. We strongly recommend you try it for any of your custom page navigation needs.

Customize Excerpts
At this time, Advanced Excerpt is the only supported plugin in LoopBuddy for allowing custom lengths and formatting for excerpts in WordPress.

LoopBuddy FAQ
Here are some frequently asked or encountered LoopBuddy questions and setups, and their answers.
Sort Custom Field Values by Meta Value (Character or Numeric)
- Custom Field values can be sorted by meta value (character or numeric).
- Only ONE meta item can be used to sort at one time.
- Using multiple meta items will assume you would like an advanced meta query, and sorting will be ignored in such a case. This is a WordPress limitation.
- Sort Custom Field Values via the following steps (assuming you already have several posts with the same custom field):
- 1 : Change the Order By parameter to either "Meta Value" or "Numeric Meta Value".
- 2 : Go to Post Meta Parameters and click "Add Meta".
- 3 : Set the Meta Key and Meta Values you would like to search for and sort by.
- 4 : Save the query.
- 5 : Assign the query to a post or section and observe the results.
LoopBuddy does not work on static Posts page
- LoopBuddy will NOT work on pages set as Static Posts Page in WordPress --> Settings --> Reading --> Front Page Displays --> Posts Page section. There is a good reason for it and a great workaround.
- Reason
- The Reading Screen in the WordPress Settings Settings --> Reading Screen Settings is necessary when you want to tell WordPress that your blog content doesn't reside on the home page.
- For example, you have selected a Front Page, which will tell WordPress, "Use this page instead of showing a default blog layout."
- Since there is technically no longer a blog layout, WordPress wants to know, "Where can I find your blog content?"
- This is how WordPress works, and not a LoopBuddy bug. There is a great flawless way to get exactly what you want with the below workarounds, though.
- Workaround (any one of this will work - we recommend the PREFERRED LoopBuddy way to do it!)
- Not have a section on your site with your blog content (readers will only be able to access your posts via category and date archives).
- Create a page to point WordPress to, and WordPress will take care of the rest and display the appropriate blog content.
- PREFERRED: With LoopBuddy, however, you don't have to specify a "Blog" section in WordPress.
- You can create a regular page.
- Allow LoopBuddy to create a blog section for you either via LoopBuddy --> Settings option OR by choosing the LoopBuddy options in the Post/Page Editor page for the page you just created.
- WordPress doesn't need to know about it in this particular case, and it won't hurt your site in the least. You do NOT have to change the WordPress --> Settings --> Reading --> Front Page Displays --> Posts Page settings for this option to work perfectly.
- Reason
- Threads and pages with more detailed info of the setup and info related to the above exact solutions
Make a Custom Field (or almost anything) Clickable
With the power of different tags in LoopBuddy Layout, you can make almost anything clickable without editing a single file. This is extremely useful when you want to make something like a Custom Field, which is text by default, clickable automatically in any or every loop.
- Steps to perform in your LoopBuddy Layout:
- 1 : Start with a Text tag (first Text tag) which has the content:
<a href="
- 2 : Next comes anything, including a Custom Field tag. This is the link.
- 3 : Now comes another Text tag (second Text tag) which has the content:
- 4 : Now comes anything to show the link. It can be the same Custom Field tag again as #2 above, another custom field, or any text or image you wish.
- 5 : Another Text tag (3rd Text tag) with the following content:
- 1 : Start with a Text tag (first Text tag) which has the content:
That's it!

Search within a LoopBuddy Query
You can have search widgets which actually search specific LoopBuddy queries for the parameters you specify. There are many different ways of achieving this with LoopBuddy.
Check out the forum thread Searching Within a LoopBuddy Query for more details.
Change OLDER POSTS and NEWER POSTS pagination text
You can change the "Older posts" and "Newer posts" text to say anything by editing those words in your wp-content/plugins/loopbuddy/loopbuddy.php file on lines 1336 and 1337. They will look like the following:
div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '← Older posts', 'it-l10n-loopbuddy' ) ); ?>

<?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts →', 'it-l10n-loopbuddy' ) ); ?>

Only change the "Older posts" and "Newer posts" text in the above to say anything else you wish.

In the debate over whether to cut the food stamp program, members of Congress are looking at two pretty arcane provisions in the law. People who want to cut food stamps call the provisions loopholes. People who don't want to cut food stamps say they're efficient ways to get benefits to those who need them most.
1. Categorical Eligibility
People who qualify for one means-tested program — like welfare — can automatically qualify for other programs — like food stamps. This is called "categorical eligibility."
Jessica Shahin, who oversees the food stamp program at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, says this saves states time and money, because they don't have to sign people up twice. "It simplifies the process for states," she says.
And besides, says Shahin, people still have to have a very low income — below the poverty line — to actually get the food stamps. (The food stamp program, by the way, is now formally called SNAP.)
But Republicans point out that categorical eligibility has allowed states to waive a $2,000 asset limit for food stamps recipients. So someone could have, say, $20,000 in the bank and still get food stamps. They argue that this allows people who don't need benefits to get them.
Deborah Carroll, who administers food stamps for 130,000 residents in the District of Columbia, say that's very rare — and it would be prohibitively expensive to verify recipients' assets.
"If we had to do that for everyone, it would cost us two, three, four million dollars more to administer that program for a fraction of the population that may have assets out there that we don't necessarily know about," she says.
2. Heat And Eat
Low income families who get help paying their utility bills through the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) can automatically qualify for higher food stamp benefits. States have figured out if they give someone just $1 in LIHEAP payments, that person can receive more food stamps — paid for with federal dollars.
"It may be a loophole, but I think it's one that benefits families," says Carroll.
Lawmakers in both parties want to make this harder for states to do. They say it will save billions of dollars in federal funds.
Let's continue our conversation about a farm bill that Democrats and Republicans are trying to negotiate today in Washington. The differences over the bill are huge. The House wants to cut food stamps, or SNAP benefits, by $40 billion over 10 years. The Senate wants to cut 4 billion. Pam Fessler from NPR's Planet Money team explains that the cuts involve complicated legal maneuvers - some call them loopholes.
PAM FESSLER, BYLINE: To hear Republican Andy Harris of Maryland on the House floor this year, $40 billion in cuts wouldn't be all that bad.
REPRESENTATIVE ANDY HARRIS: This is a common sense reform that cuts waste, fraud and abuse, leaving more money for the Americans who truly need help in time of need.
FESSLER: Well, not exactly. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says almost two million low-income people would lose their benefits under the House bill. And waste, fraud and abuse? The cuts really deal with something much more arcane. Here's Republican Rick Crawford of Arkansas.
REPRESENTATIVE RICK CRAWFORD: This legislation will no longer allow states to exploit various loopholes, such as artificially making people eligible simply by mailing a TANF brochure, or substantially increasing benefits by sending a nominal LIHEAP check.
FESSLER: OK, that's a mouthful. But let me try to explain. First, yes, you can - as Crawford says - become eligible for food stamps if you receive a brochure from the welfare office. As outrageous as that might sound.
JESSICA SHAHIN: It does sound a little outrageous. I won't disagree with you on that, but I think what you have to do is think about what it really means.
FESSLER: Jessica Shahin oversees food stamps at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. She says you still have to be relatively low income to get the brochure. That it's really an administrative shortcut. The law allows someone who's eligible for benefits for one means-tested program — like TANF or welfare - to automatically become eligible for another, like SNAP. That way you don't have to apply twice.
SHAHIN: It simplifies the process for states.
FESSLER: But, she says, there's a caveat. An individual's income still has to be very low - below the poverty line - to qualify for food stamps benefits.
SHAHIN: If the person has an income that makes them ineligible for a benefit, you can be eligible all day long; you're not getting a benefit.
FESSLER: In other words, if you get that brochure, you're really just eligible to be considered for benefits. Still, Republicans complain that the maneuver has allowed states to waive a $2,000 asset limit for food stamps recipients. So you can have, say, $20,000 in the bank and still get the aid. But states say that's rare and it costs a lot to figure out what people do or don't own. Deborah Carroll administers food stamps for 130,000 residents in the District of Columbia.
DEBORAH CARROLL: If we had to do that for everyone, it would cost us 2, 3, $4 million dollars more to administer that program for a fraction of the population that may have assets out there that we don't necessarily know about.
FESSLER: So the debate really comes down to a difference in philosophy between those trying to get benefits to the needy as quickly as possible, and those trying to reign in government spending. And that brings us back to Congressman Crawford's other complaint. Here it is again.
CRAWFORD: Substantially increasing benefits by sending a nominal LIHEAP check.
FESSLER: LIHEAP. That's a program that helps low-income people pay their energy bills. Those in the program can automatically qualify for higher SNAP benefits. So states have figured out if they give people just $1 in LIHEAP aid, they can get more food stamps - paid for with federal dollars. Both the House and Senate want to clamp down on that one.
DEBORAH CARROLL: Yeah, well it may be a loophole, but I think one that benefits families.
FESSLER: Again, D.C. administrator Carroll. The way she see it, this is one way to offset other cuts in the food stamp program at a time of need, that one person's loophole is another's workaround. Pam Fessler, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
