Whither Humanities in a Market-Driven World?
What place do the humanities have in a global economy increasingly focused on educating a work force for business, finance, and technology? Bard leaders weighed in with the New Indian Express. "Without humanities, social sciences and arts," says Bard IILE Director Susan Gillespie, "we won't have just and liveable societies or even prosperous economies." Arendt Center director Roger Berkowitz adds that teaching the humanities is about "transmitting a tradition of meaning and substance, texts and ideas that can inspire young people to care more for the common world they share than for their parochial or personal interests."

text: You can search for local limo services very easily today. I remember when it was very hard to find local limo services for the prom, as we did not know what companies were out there. Today, it is much easier due to the World Wide Web. All one needs to do is search for local limo services in any search engine, and you are sure to find one in your area. In fact, there are many websites that will get a list of different local limo services for you. You can then compare what these local limo services have to offer and choose the one that fits you. You will need to know a few things before getting a list of local limo services. First of all, you need to know where you need the local limo services. By knowing the exact address of where you want the limo to come, you will find the local limo services closest to this local. For example, if you need the local limo service to go from your home to your high school, all you need to do is type in your home address. The website will find the local limo services that are closest to your home. Next, you will need to know the date of service. Depending on which date you need the local limo services for, will determine how many options you may have. A lot of local limo services only have a few limos, therefore their services are limited. Make sure you reserve your limo early enough, especially if it is for a big event, such as a prom. Many people will be looking for a limo as well, so you do not want to be the last to look, as you may not find any local limo services available that day.

I have'nt bought this yet. I wanted to know how the sizes are running because I am going to have a c-section and am getting "fixed" at the same time, so I need support, but don't want it to be super tight.Leonisa's response: Hi Eva! Contact costumer service at 1-800-657-9107 or firstname.lastname@example.com for personalized advice, or you can check our size charts at the product page.
I gave birth to a beautifull baby boy about 5 days ago, when I came home from the hospital about 3 days ago I started wearing the Tummy Reducer Post-Partum Panty and I have to say the only thing I regret is not buying enough of them.. This is by far the best postpartum girdle. I have worn a girdle after all of my kids (3) and this is by far the most effective one. My tummy has went down drastically even my husband was shocked at the results! I do believe that by wearing this everyday for two weeks I will be back to my regular size. Thank you so so much for manufactoring this panty !!!
I had my second c-section and started to wear this undie on the 4th day of post pardon. It was painless to put on and off. Made sleeping and rolling over in bed easier to handle. I believe it help reduce my swelling quick. I am currently two weeks post pardom and I am shock to find my tummy already feeling back in shape. It had a firm hold which I felt it was much better than the other post pardon undie's I had purchase. I wish I had bought this during my 1st c-section.
This soft control classic panty with a high waist design has subtle elastic bands around the waist and legs for a better fit as well as ultra flat seams for no-show wear. The design on the back helps to slightly lift the hips.
It's pretty comfortable, I bought it in black and I'd love it if you bring more colors! Best buy ever.
I love this product very comfy and can't see it under clothes. Wish it came in more colors though because I love to wear it everyday but only comes in 3 colors which can be boring only black white and beige. Will be nice to see other colors in this design, it is very comfy and holds my tummy in when I wear tight dresses and skirts. Hope leonisa decides to make more colors though :)
I really like this Panty.Very good feeling under tights in the summertime.Makes me feel great!

Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Multiple Lines of Evidence for an Old Universe
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Off with Their Heads
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round
Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Frenetic Sequence
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
A Pastor's Approach to Science
Since the sermon is the main component used to build the congregation's collective approach to understanding how the church relates to the world, I want to take a few moments to lay out what has worked in my preaching and what has not when it comes to science, and more specifically, the subject of evolution.
Series: Beauty, Science and Theology
It doesn't take a scientist to appreciate the beauty with which God has arrayed his creation. But scientists do have the opportunity (and training) to appreciate different kinds of beauty than do most non-scientists, whether they are ordinarily "hidden" in the extremes of scale, the elegant processes of an experiment, or in the abstraction of mathematics. Indeed the appreciation of various kinds of beauty has always played a critical role in motivating scientists to investigate the world, and in helping them decipher its workings. In the three-part essay, Ruth Bancewicz explores some of the ways beauty, science and theology intertwine.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
The Transit of Venus
Today we have a chance to witness a special moment in history as Venus transits across the disk of the Sun for people across the world to see. Not only is this process of discovery exciting for natural science, but it has profound theological ramifications as well.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Series: The Wonder of the Universe
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: Owen Gingerich
When it came time to go to graduate school, one of Owen Gingerich's science professors told him "If you feel a calling to go to astronomy, you should give it a try, because we shouldn't let atheists take over any particular field."
Series: Universe and Multiverse
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
Wheat that Springeth Green
As we remember the narrative that takes us from Good Friday through Easter morning, the image of a buried grain of wheat invites us into the story rather than just describing what happens in it.

Product Backstory
A warrior race of alien creatures known as Predators travel to Earth to abduct a group of humans, all ruthless killers, and deposit them on a dangerous jungle planet that serves as their game preserve. Banding together, the humans soon realize that they have been gathered as prey for a new breed of Predators. As the technologically and physically superior Predators systematically eliminate members of the group, they must find a way to work together to escape or face their own extinction.Product Reviews
Awesome Detail!
From one of my favorite movie franchises, especially the first, comes this maquette. The size is perfect and everything from the base to the top of the mask beautifully done. If you're fan of Sideshow and Predator you can't go wrong with this extremely well crafted piece.

Sales (New) Monday, 17 June, 2013 It was a very good experience. The van has been great. Sager showed me the features, hooked up my phone with the bluetooth. I am very satisfied. read more
Sales (Used) Wednesday, 12 June, 2013 I purchased a new Honda at Honda of Lisle fifteen years ago and recently returned to purchase a used, certified Honda Fit. My customer service specialist, Mr. Ali answered all my questions thoroughly, including those about the changes in auto technology since my last purchase. All areas of the transaction were handled smoothly. Mr. Ali was respectful and showed real interest in the needs of the customer. My son who was with me on my visit was grateful for his advice about leasing. Truly a pleasurable experience. read more
Sales (Used) Sunday, 09 June, 2013 We found a car that we were interested in through Autotrader.com and had never been to the Lisle Honda store before (although we had looked at the same model at two other locations). We called and quickly and easily set up an appointment for us to come in later in the afternoon to look at the vehicle. We spoke with Darryl on the phone who greeted us and introduced us to Mike Harvey who ended up being our salesperson. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Beyond that, Mike did two things that helped ease us about the process: 1) at no time did he feel like a salesman. He wasn't "strong-arming" us into buying anything. He was fantastic at answering our questions and being there for anything we needed, but didn't go beyond that. That approach really made us feel comfortable, which I feel in the long run probably helped us settle on buying the car from Lisle. 2) He gave us time and opportunity to discuss our options without being constantly around. Other dealers/salesman we've been to were non-stop, "in your face". Mike even let us take all the time we wanted to look through the car while he was working on the appraisal of our trade in. We really appreciated that. Outside of Mike, everyone we came across seemed genuinely welcoming and friendly. Oh, and my wife loved the personal touches like the sign on the car and the bear. They really did a great job and definitely will be considered when I'm car shopping in the future. read more

Study author and chemist Arlene Blum explained, "The government makes rules that certain standards have to be met, and they don't say how to meet them, but often the least expensive way to meet them is with certain flame retardants, such as Penta and Tris."
In fact, the chemical Tris was actually the most commonly found flame retardant in couches despite the fact that Tris is listed as a carcinogen in California, and was banned from children's pajamas in 1977 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The next most commonly found chemicals in couches are known as Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers, or PBDEs. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently investigating PBDE's because of their concern to human and environmental health.
In fact, the hazards are such a concern that U.S. manufacturers voluntarily began phasing out some PBDEs beginning in 2004. However, manufacturers have since replaced them with other fire-retardant chemicals.
According to the EPA, "PBDEs are not chemically bound to plastics, foam, fabrics, or other products in which they are used, making them more likely to leach out of these products."

The board of directors at MTV decided that learning to "shred", as it were, took too much time, patience, and work to do correctly, and thus was banned in early 1992, in favor of more lucrative cookie cutter style bands, with a higher turnover rate. MTV Exec 1: "Aw come on. Shred is cool."
MTV Exec 2: "Yes, but look here. In the time it takes to teach one guy how to shred well, we can raise and kill off four three-chord bands, OR seventeen boy-bands!" MTV Exec 1: "Well holy shit on rye, Steve! Who needs shred anyways?" |

terrible service with no manner at all. my husband ordered all the food, cuz, i always believe that is the best/easy way for waiter or waitress. after he ordered his soup.... she said.. "what?" so, he repeated one more time. he kept ordering... she kept saying "what?"... when we were there... there was ONLY one table around us.. unless the kitchen was too loud. HA! but, i don't think it was the case. when she had our food ready. we said "thank you"... she didn't said... "you are welcome".. just made sound like "uh.uh"... my 6 years old girls asked me.."why she didn't say 'welcome' back to me". the only answer i could explain to her was " she had no manner. " anyway, i just wanted to have the soup and salad. i still remembered her face when i wanted to have bowl of salad... her face like... 'why you needed to have another bowl and okay... whatever, i will just feed you"... so, i didn't even wanted to bother to ask for another soup. i thought i could have order 'second' salad and soup at one price. oh, well, i kept working on the food. and my kid didn't even touch the food, so, my husband asked her if we could have the box. she took the box here and also took my food away without asking IF i am done. i don't know what kind of service she is offering. going out to eat is pleasure, but, not this time. IF she is not in good mood, please ask her not to work. i believe doing the service business NEED to be friendly ALL the time. make sure this girl is willing to work, otherwise, don't put her into the service.
Well, let's ignore the grammar pickiness for now. . . (I do think thatgrammar is very important, especially in business correspondence, butit's been hammered into the ground by other posters now. We get thepoint: The grammar is bad!) I don't really understand why you are upset. Could there be somecultural difference here? I don't really expect my server to say"you're welcome" each time I say "thank you." In fact, afriendly-sounding "uh-huh" or "mm-hmm" is a perfectly acceptable,though less formal, form of "you're welcome" to me. I say "thank you"so frequently during the course of a meal that "you're welcome" wouldbegin to sound ridiculous if a server insisted on saying it everytime. You say that she kept asking your husband to repeat himself whileordering, but judging from the poor communication of this letter,perhaps she was simply having trouble understanding what he wassaying. I don't see why that is a problem--isn't it better to clarifythan to bring the wrong dishes? You also say that she took your food when she brought the take-homebox, but since you were having a refillable dish, I would imagine thatshe was obligated to do so. Your other complaint is that the woman (please do not use "girl" torefer to a female old enough to work, unless she is your friend andyou know she doesn't mind) gave you a dirty look when you requested arefill. Often, busy workers can give looks that customers perceive asdirty, but really they are just focusing on their job. Since shedidn't /say/ anything negative, and since I don't see other points ofrudeness to indicate that she would be likely to give a dirty look, Iwould rather give her the benefit of the doubt. Finally, since you do not provide this woman's name, nor the time anddate of your visit, even if she had been the rudest server ever, shecould not be reprimanded. Please be "willing to work" on futurebusiness correspondence, if you desire results rather than attention.
If you talk the way you type, I can understand why she wasn't verypatient with you.
There are just some people in life that are a little harder tocommunicate with. I am partially deaf in one ear. Like the previousposters have stated, this could have been due to numerous variables.Like music in the background or talking down and not looking andspeaking directly at your waiter. I was reading your letter and onlymanaged to be able to get thru about half way. I hope that is not theway that you normally speak. Not trying to be judgmental but whenusing words like "cuz" it makes you sound like a teenager that istrying to text message a complaint in your letter. Being a frequenterat Olive Garden myself (5-8 times a month), I don't believe this to bea corporate problem and if anything should be addressed by localmanagement. That way the problem can be properly addressed. If therewas a problem they can then train the employee to be able to do herjob better or even find out if they might having a hearing disorderthat might impact their job. In the feature at least
If you speak the same way you write I can understand why your serverhad to keep saying "what?" Of course, "excuse me" or "pardon" wouldhave been more polite.
Maybe you and the waitress don't speak the same language. Or deafnessor partial deafness could play a role. It could also be that thewaitress didn't actually work there and you inconvienced a passerby. Next time you don't get good service, ask for a manager or ask if youcan be seated in a different section. Please rewrite the letter.
You should have complained immediately. There is no need to put upwith bad service unnecessarily. Complaining now about a nameless lousywaitress doesn't solve the problem.
Just a thought, maybe next time you should have someone proof readyour letter. This way it will be a little easier to understand. ...... No offense
is it possible that english is not this letter writer's firstlanguage? the reason i ask is that i have a german email pen pal andshe writes a lot like this. she isn't stupid, far from it, just isn'tthat great at the english language. if this is the case, i suggestyou have an american write the letter for you. if you are anamerican, you obviously need help crafting a letter, so i reccommendgetting someone talented in crafting a coherent letter. i assume youwant to be taken seriously, and i do see validity in your complaints,so please consider rewriting the letter with the aid of someone moreproficient at ordering your thoughts.
The Olive Garden I've been to has ambient music playing. If youmumble, don't look at your server while you speak, or talk into yourchest, he/she won't be able to hear you clearly. Asking you to repeatyourself is to clarify that the order is taken correctly. Also, ifshe couldn't hear you, you probably couldn't hear her very well. If you ordered the unlimited soup and salad, which it sounds like youdid, you are not allowed to take any part of that home with you. Thecompany would go out of business in a hurry if this were the case. What food did you keep working on if you weren't brought more? Wereyou still eating your first serving and ordering more already? I'm not sure whether you have one or two daughters who are six yearsold, but from what I read, your daughter/daughters had one kid's meal,your husband had a soup and you had the soup/salad. You were lucky toget a take out box, if that was all you had. You didn't get badservice, you just didn't get all the free food you hoped for. If everything I have said is wrong, please re-write your letter soit's less difficult to understand.
Pardon me.
If your letter here is any indication of how you talk, it is no wondershe couldn't hear/understand you. My 6 year old can type better thanthis, at least he knows where the shift key is for capitalization.
She seemed very willing to work, she was definitely running aroundaccording to your letter. Maybe she did have something wrong with herears. I worked in the retail industry and unfortunately had anincident with a Q-tip and my ear that caused loss of hearing in my earfor several days. Maybe she had gone swimming the day before and hadwater in her ear and just couldn't hear you.
Excuse me Miss, but might I point out that you have no manner?
terrible letter with no sense
Mimi, your complaint is valid, but is very hard to understand. I haveprovided you with an updated version you may wish to re-send. On a recent visit to my local Olive Garden restaurant, a horriblewaitress who has no manners served my family and me. When it was timeto order, my husband placed all of our orders in an attempt tosimplify the process. When my husband ordered some soup, the waitresssaid "What?", indicating that there was a lot of noise in the area, orshe did not understand. I presume the latter due to the fact that wewere the only table in her section at the time. While he continued ourorder, she continued to say "WHAT?" after many of our choices. Ifthere was confusion, there were much better ways that she could havebeen handled this. When the food arrived, she set it down in front ofus, and we said "Thank You!". Her only reply was a grunt thatresembled "uh-huh" and then she walked away. A nice "You're Welcome!"or "Enjoy your meal folks!" would have been a much better reply. Mychildren were even confused as to why she lacked manners! When Iwanted more soup and salad, I ordered another salad, and the waitressgave me a very dirty look, and I decided against ordering more soup toavoid further aggravating her. My children did not eat very much oftheir food, so I asked for a box. At this time, she took my platewithout asking if I was done, and I was disappointed as I had a fewlast bites to eat. Usually, eating out is a pleasurable time for my family to spend timetogether and relax, however this waitress's poor manners were a bigcustomer turn-off, and we were hardly able to enjoy our experience. To rectify this situation, please pass this letter on to therestaurant manager and a district manager so they can review this, andfollow up with the waitress. I suggest that the parties previouslymentioned also review with their staff the importance of not bringingpersonal problems in to the workplace, and especially not allowingthem to affect their performance.
If you had a problem with the service you received, it probably wouldhave been most effective to speak with the manager at the time. Yourlast sentence is meaningless without a name, so then what's the pointof the complaint?
Yikes. No wonder she had trouble understanding your husband if hetalks like you write. Seriously, my five-year-old sister can type better than this. At leastshe knows that the shift keys are beside the "z" and the "/" keys.
terrible letter with no grammar
I think your letter is fine if you wish to convey a theme ofilliteracy and uneducated speech. If you speak the way your write I would be unable to understand youeither. If you send this letter it will go into the trash as there is no wayanyone will take it seriously.
that the server had a problem understanding if your whole familyspeaks like you write. It sounds like both you & your husband had aproblem with speaking in such a way as to clearly communicate what youwanted. I normally order for myself & both of my sons when we are at arestaurant. They are at ages that it's just best if they don'tcommunicate with the server at all! But I try to make sure that theserver knows who gets what meal when I'm ordering. It just drives menuts when someone can't be clear & concise when placing an order ofany kind. Get it together in your mind & then speak!! As for the manners, maybe the server had just finished with a largeparty or had a large party due in. She clearly had other obligations& may have forgotten to respond, but that doesn't indicate that shehas NO manners. Just that she temporarily forgot them - like youtemporarily forgot how to speak for yourself when she took your foodaway. Stuff happens...
n/t :)
Personally it drives me nuts when one person orders for the wholetable. 1) I never know who to look at when I need to ask questions about theorder (ie: what kind of potato etc) 2) It's harder to know who gets what when the food is delivered 3) It takes twice as long to take the order because it often goes: me: "Fries or mashed?" Order-giver to person whose order it is "Fries or mashed?" Person: "Fries" Order-giver: "Fries" But that's just my opinion!!
And it is 'you're welcome,' not 'welcome'. As for the rest, thisletter needs a complete rewrite. Through all the spelling and grammarerrors it is hard to see how the server was unfriendly. If you aren't done with your food, tell the server. Don't let herwalk away. That's what I do. The server is running all over the place here. Salad refills, to goboxes, clearing the table. It sounds like she is willing to work.
Maybe if you would write in sentences, they would take you seriously.I hate it when people write like they think!!

Archives > Sports Update > National Signing Day
Panther Pride: Plano East has 18 athletes sign
BY Richard C. White, firstname.lastname@example.com
As high schools around the country celebrated National Signing Day on Wednesday, the Plano East athletic department saw 18 of its best athletes join the fray.
Not only did East have athletes sign in seven different sports, they also sent several to Division I programs.
"It's a credit to our coaches and to these young men and women here at Plano East," said Johnny Ringo, East athletic director and head football coach. "It's a great opportunity for all our kids who have worked so hard to showcase their talents over the years. And to get this chance to have it all culminate on Signing Day is huge for the families and for the kids."
While he's happy to be playing college football, Verhulst is most thankful for the financial blessing his signing provides.
"This is awesome," he said. "It's definitely a dream checked off the bucket list. It's a huge weight off my back to say, 'Mom and dad, you don't have to pay for college.' And I get to play DI football; you can't beat that."
Verhulst is also looking forward to the structured routine a service academy provides.
"In most colleges you're kind of free to roam around and do what you want, but here it's very structured," he said. "It'll be nice to get into a routine and get a great education."
Verhulst's teammate Shaw was grateful to make his commitment official.
"It's a relief," he said. "Knowing where I was signing early, I had to wait to put the pen to paper, and now that I did it feels great. It's official. I'm very blessed, very fortunate and very grateful."
Outside of football, the wideout is in line to receive a high level of education in the prestigious Ivy League.
"I've been working very hard in the classroom," Shaw said. "I chose Cornell because I know they can give me a good education and help give me a good degree when I get into the workforce."
After quarterbacking the Panthers in 2012, Smalls can't wait to get started at Texas Southern, the same school his brother (former East quarterback Riko Smalls) played for the last three years.
"It's a dream come true to play college ball," the younger Smalls said. "Texas Southern is going to be a great fit. It's going to be a blast the next four years."
East also had athletes from cross country (Morgan Johnson-Samford), swimming (Nic Bergstein-Army, Frances Ivers-Western State Colorado, Sarah Stone-Xavier), volleyball (Kayla Burling-Nicholls State), baseball (Nicholas Ramos-Eastern Oklahoma Junior College) and boys soccer (Connor Cunningham-Southwestern, Tavis King-Bethel, Adam Schultz-LeTourneau) sign.
Behind football, the next largest group signing Wednesday morning was girls soccer (Abigail Bailey-Texas Women's, Abigail Canny-Louisiana Monroe, Marissa Hughes-Centenary, Alyssa Parkhill-Midwestern State).
"It feels wonderful," Canny said. "I'm really excited to go play soccer and be among my new teammates. It's just a wonderful feeling to finally commit."
Canny noted that she was grateful for the intense, thorough level of preparation she received while playing for East.
"This school prepared me very well," she said. "[Former Lady Panthers head coach Dawn Crow] and all the other coaches for the last three years have done a great job and I wanted to thank them. They've taught me so much about what's to come."
Canny's teammate Bailey, a forward, enjoyed the signing but had yet to fully comprehend the moment.
"I don't know if it's really hit me yet," she said. "My mind is blown right now. It hasn't hit me that I'm about to go to college."
While she's thrilled about her future, Bailey said she'll never forget her past and the moments she experienced at East.
"Last year I thought I would be balling right now, but I'm not, so I know it hasn't hit me yet that I'm about to leave this school," she said. "I'll always remember all of the people I met and the responsibility I learned here."

13 Year Old Boy Busted For Illegal Marker Possession via: http://goo.gl/IaEuG DECEMBER 22 -- A 13-year-old boy was arrested Friday for using a permanent marker while in class at his Oklahoma City middle school, a violation of an obscure city ordinance. According to an Oklahoma City Police Department report, the boy was spotted "in possession of a permanent marker" by Roosevelt Middle School teacher DeLynn Woodside. The marker ban--which apparently is aimed at curbing graffiti--stems from a...
This week we looked for a case that related to the recent pages we have been adding to the website lately. We ended up coming across a case where the Court of Appeals of Minnesota had to decide whether the district court was wrong in declaring that a particular juvenile should be prosecuted as an adult. Typically, the court system in our country treats juveniles differently than adults because of the idea that juveniles simply aren't as mature as adults and because of that, shouldn't be held to ...

I was all wrapped up following the election last night, so sorry about the lack of a post. I am able to vote in Ohio, and as an American historian I was extremely interested in the outcome. Plus, whatever happens in the U.S. has an impact on us here in Canada. I was also reminded that while we Canadians often pride ourselves in our diversity and in thinking we are more liberal-minded than our neighbours to the South, we have yet to elect a person of colour as Prime Minister. We have had only one female PM (for four months, when Brian Mulroney quit), but she was soon defeated in the 1993 election. Our latest election was almost entirely a slate of white guys.

Semolina Bread
I am busy with the bakery tonight, so just a small post about a failed bread recipe. I thought I would experiment with a semolina yeast bread to go with some pumpkin soup. The end result was nice and soft but far too dry, I thought. The crust sucked all the moisture from your mouth, and the next day the loaf was pretty hard. I shan't be making it again.
Back tomorrow with another great Indian recipe.

Magistrates decided to do away with Hillcrest Collection Agency on Tuesday and take their chances of collecting debt incurred by inmates themselves.
Magistrate Thomas Bouldin made the motion, which also included increasing the booking fee from $20 to $50. Bouldin said he thought most of what is collected of inmate debt comes from while the individual is incarcerated, not from after they leave.
By increasing the booking fee, the jail may be able to collect more when someone comes into the jail than when they leave, said Bouldin. His motion also asks the jail to "step up" and assure the inmates know what they owe when they leave. Bouldin said he is not for changing any of the other fees, or for trying to collect on them, he just doesn't think a collection agency should hound someone who gets out of jail and wants to start over.
The jail can collect what money the inmate comes into the jail with, as well as a percentage of what others bring to them while they are in jail to help pay their debt.
Members of the fiscal court, with the exception of Magistrate Jo Orange, hired Hillcrest the end of last year to collect on the debt. A state auditor's suggestion to hire an outside agency prompted the court to hire Hillcreat, who was to take a cut of what they collected. However, soon after choosing to do so, the court was asked by some in the community, to reconsider going after inmates for what they owed when they got out of jail, citing hardship on them and their families, which could land them back behind bars.
Inmates are charged a booking fee, lodging fee, and fees for medical, dental and prescriptions. These fees have been hard to collect after an inmate leaves the jail, but have been successful at initial booking when the inmate enters the jail.
Jailer Bill Jenkins, who has made it clear he does not care one way or the other if the county decides to go after the inmate for the debt through a collection agency, gave a few numbers on how much has been collected over the past five years. According to Jenkins, the jail has collected $147,613 from the inmate fee system over the past 63 months. This breaks down to $29,522 per year, $2,343 per month and approximately $40 per inmate. This is of course, is not even close to what was charged.
Jenkins told the court something needed to be decided soon because Hillcrest had already sent the jail a check for $90.
Magistrate Orange, who voted to begin charging the inmates in 2003, which the state allowed, has spoken out against a collection agency fro the get go. She explained that she chose to put the fees on only because she though the jail was a "black hole" and was costing the taxpayers too much to run. She figured this may be a way to gain additional revenue, which would save the taxpayers. She also thought it would be a deterrent to keep people out of jail if they knew they would have to pay.
"This is not a deterrent and we are not collecting very much," said Orange.
It has since proven not to be a deterrent as Jenkins reported that in 2012, out of the 1,580 booked through the jail, 72 percent of those were repeat offenders.
Orange noted that if the 1,580 people that were booked into the jail in 2012 were charged the $20 booking fee, and it was collected, that would generate $31,600, which was more than the jail has historically received annually. She felt the medical fees needed to stay however.
Magistrate Russell Poore was a bit more stern, saying he thought the county needed to make sure those who incurred debt paid it one way or the other. He agreed with hardship, but said inmates who had debt and couldn't pay it could do community service and work it off. He added that the court needed to think about the taxpayers, who have to pay their debts regardless.
Magistrate Jack Crossley made a motion before Bouldin to increase the booking fee from $20 to $40, do away with the lodging fee, but keep the medical, dental and prescription fees in place. His motion, however, did not pass because some of the magistrates wanted the booking fee to be a little higher, and Orange wanted to do away with Hillcrest, which was not initially in Crssley's motion. After the meeting Crossley said his motion should have included the letting go of Hillcrest. He said he thought if it had, Orange would have voted with him. He said he thought doing away with Hillcrest was a given.
Magistrate Drexel Johnson said he would like to revisit the issue six months from now to see how it is working. The changes will go into effect Feb. 3.
