NEW YORK—Vienna, Va.-based LaserShip has transferred its New York and New Jersey operations into larger locations in order to optimize the company's delivery efficiency.
In New York, LaserShip has opened a new location in Queens, allowing the company to better serve the boroughs and Long Island. The building provides a more efficient structure for the company as well as loading space.
In New Jersey, the company moved its operations to East Rutherford where it occupies a 23,000-sq.-ft. distribution space, which offers loading docks, security and additional office space.
"The ability to conduct loading indoors will reduce defects in transit and increase sort speed, allowing us to significantly increase productivity, just in time for peak volume," said Josh Dinneen, vice president of supply chain.
Founded in 1986, LaserShip is a regional parcel carrier that facilitates last-mile delivery for reduced transit times, greater flexibility and decreased costs.

Field Could be Completed Early Next Weekby Howard Hewitt • August 18, 2010 Share:
All indications are the Hollett Little Giant Football Field turf installation process could be completed by early next week.
Matt Sanchez, Field Turf project supervisor, said Wednesday he expects his crews to finish up early next week. The crew was working on detail work around the edges and sidelines Wednesday afternoon.
Sanchez said the large Wabash W is expected Friday. The lettering for each end zone is one of the biggest jobs yet to be completed.
While the crews put finishing touches on the new turf, Erik Raeburn and his coaching staff are starting the construction process with the 2010 Little Giant Football team just across Jennison Street at the old baseball field.
Freshmen practice was Wednesday afternoon with upperclassmen practicing Wednesday morning.

That's what a title game should look like
I had no dog in the fight leading into last night's basketball national championship game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Michigan Wolverines.
All I was wanting was a good, close game, and boy, did I ever get just that.
I've been going through all of the national championship games I've ever seen and I cannot recall a final that I have enjoyed more than that one since 1994 (for obvious reasons).
Sure there have been good games since 1994, like the Duke-Butler and Kansas-Memphis games, but circumstances beyond my control kept me from being able to watch a single second of either one of those matchups.

University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire: Ban on RAs' Leading Bible Studies
Category: Religious Liberty
Schools: University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire University of Wisconsin – Madison
The University of Wisconsin's (UW) Board of Regents voted to uphold religious liberty on campus under its jurisdiction by permitting resident assistants (RAs) to hold Bible study groups in their dormitory rooms. Six months before FIRE advocated on the RAs' behalf, a residential life official from UW Eau-Claire sent Christian RAs a letter notifying them that residential life officials were not permitted to host Bible, Torah, or Koran study sessions in their dorm rooms because their religious beliefs may make them less "approachable" to students who did not hold the same views. FIRE first wrote to Interim Chancellor Vicki Lord Larson stating that the ban was unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. FIRE then took the case public, wrote additional letters to the UW System President and the Wisconsin Attorney General, and connected an RA with the Alliance Defense Fund who filed suit. After six months of pressure, the UW Board of Regents reversed the policy.

Restrictive policies under FIRE

College life changed for RA Lance Steiger in the fall of 2005 when he contacted the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education about a policy banning him from holding Bible studies in his residence hall. Calls pummeled his phone as his story reverberated throughout local, state and national media outlets, he said. He later filed a lawsuit against the university—while continuing to work as an RA—that ended after a UW System-wide policy change of constitutional proportions. "I felt like I needed to stand my ground," said Steiger, a spring 2006 graduate. But Steiger's experience, while prominent, is only one of […]» Read More
Student's Lawsuit Compels UW to Lift RA-Led Bible Study Ban
March 29, 2006
by Jim Brown Agape Press A Christian resident assistant (RA) at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has dropped his lawsuit against the school following its elimination of a ban on RA-led Bible studies. The UW's Board of Regents recently approved a policy allowing student dormitory workers to lead Bible studies. Student Lance Steiger had sued the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire over its prohibition of RA-led scripture studies; however, as a result of the new policy, he has agreed to drop the case. In return, the school has agreed to pay Steiger's attorneys' fees and costs and hand him a […]» Read More
University of Wisconsin sets policy on disputed Bible studies
March 16, 2006
MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Resident assistants are free to host Bible studies in their rooms, as well as sales or political meetings, under a policy adopted unanimously by the University of Wisconsin system's Board of Regents. The assistants, who receive stipends in exchange for supervising students in residence halls, are warned that they should create an inclusive environment and not use their positions to coerce people to attend. University President Kevin Reilly said the policy balances students' first amendment right to free speech against their duties as state employees. The new policy applies to the system's 13 four-year universities. Each […]» Read More

After months of debate within the UW System with students, citizens, administrators, politicians and lawyers weighing in, the controversy concerning the activities RAs can lead in their residence halls has come to a close. On Friday, the UW System Board of Regents unanimously voted to support a policy proposed by UW System President Kevin Reilly which guarantees the right of RAs to contribute to, organize and lead meetings and other activities anywhere on campus as long as they do not use their leadership positions to coerce students into participating. "I think it's a good, sound policy and I'm glad that […]» Read More
RA-Led Bible Studies Impetus Behind Proposed UW System Policy
March 10, 2006
A campus watchdog group is calling on the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents to rescind the school's Bible study ban and instead approve a new policy that would allow RAs lead or take part in Bible studies in their rooms. Kevin Reilly, president of the University of Wisconsin (UW) System, has proposed a policy that would let resident assistants take part in or lead any meeting they want, including Bible studies in their rooms, provided they do not force anyone into attending. The policy, he says, encourages RAs "to take full advantage of what our campuses offer them as […]» Read More
Free speech wins in new UW policy
March 8, 2006
University of Wisconsin President Kevin Reilly has proposed a reasonable policy on holding Bible study classes in the rooms of dormitory resident assistants. UW Regents should approve the proposal at this week's meeting. Reilly's plan was developed after Lance Steiger, a resident assistant at the UW-Eau Claire, was told in July to stop the study sessions. School officials felt that some students may feel they are being coerced into attending the sessions because the resident assistants are responsible for discipline and order and to refuse would put them at odds with the resident assistant. The school said it had the […]» Read More
Religious studies proposal respects everyone's rights
March 7, 2006
A compromise proposal before the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents resolves a potential church-state problem in a positive and common-sense way. At issue is whether resident assistants — who serve as floor leaders in university dormitories throughout the state — have the same rights as other students to be involved in political or religious activities. The issue arose in July at UW-Eau Claire, when a resident assistant was told to stop leading Bible study classes in his dorm room. The assistant, a member of the local Campus Crusade for Christ, was told by a housing official that "When you […]» Read More
UW System plan pleases religious group
March 6, 2006
A Christian group active on campuses and a student representative of religious workers in Madison responded positively last week to news that the University of Wisconsin System proposes to give dormitory advisers the same rights as fellow students. "We welcome the recommendation that will permit residence advisers to practice their faith and study the Bible with their friends in their dormitories," said Tony Arnold, a spokesman for the Campus Crusade for Christ. System officials have said a written policy will be proposed to the UW Board of Regents this week. The policy was created after RAs – who are paid […]» Read More
When freedoms clash
March 5, 2006
A proposed University of Wisconsin policy would give resident assistants the same rights other students have to hold meetings in their dorm rooms or elsewhere on campus. Interestingly, you won't find the word "religion" or "Bible" or the like in the proposal, but it was a church-state flap that prompted the proposal. UW-Eau Claire warned resident assistant Lance Steiger in July to cease his practice of leading Bible study in the basement of the dormitory where he was stationed. He countered that he was exercising his right to free speech and religion. The ensuing debate went nationwide, and an evangelical […]» Read More
Ignorance of our founding principles can endanger us all
March 5, 2006
Here we go again. A new survey reveals that only about one in four Americans can name at least two of the First Amendment's five freedoms: freedom of the press, religion, speech and assembly, as well as the right to petition government for redress of grievances. But 52 percent can name two or more members of TV's "Simpsons." More than 20 percent of Americans actually think the First Amendment gives us the right to own and raise pets! We shouldn't be shocked. Americans' — especially young Americans' — woeful ignorance of history and civics has been documented repeatedly. The good […]» Read More
UW president recommends policy for resident assistants' meetings
March 2, 2006
Associated Press MADISON – University of Wisconsin System resident assistants could participate in or lead any meeting they want — including Bible studies in their rooms — so long as they did not coerce anyone into attending under a policy the school president proposed Wednesday. President Kevin Reilly devised the plan in response to an outcry over a decision by the Eau Claire campus to ban a resident assistant from leading Bible studies in his dorm room. The unwritten policy at UW-Eau Claire, which also banned RAs from leading political activities and sales events in their rooms, was suspended after […]» Read More

On the University of Wisconsin System's application for a Resident Assistant position, could a candidate, through a check box promise, surrender normal student rights on attending the position? Thankfully, such may soon be an impossibility. For some time now, UW schools have been free to ban RAs from leading certain activities, such as bible studies, within their dorm rooms. On Wednesday, UW System President Kevin Reilly acted on the counsel of a group of residence-life professionals, student affairs officers and students, recommending a laudable proposal to the Board of Regents to guarantee resident assistants certain rights bestowed upon other residents […]» Read More

Policy allows dorms RA's Bible study
March 1, 2006
by George Hesselberg Wisconsin State Journal A student who supervises student housing in the University of Wisconsin System has the same rights as the students being supervised. That simple statement reached biblical proportions Thursday when System officials recommended a policy designed to resolve an issue that erupted at UW-Eau Claire last fall. A resident assistant there was told to stop leading Bible study groups in his dormitory room. The RA, Lance Steiger, with help from a conservative foundation in Philadelphia, filed a federal lawsuit claiming his right to worship freely was violated by UW-Eau Claire's unwritten policy – now suspended […]» Read More
FIRE president speaks on campus
February 2, 2006
Restricting free speech to prevent people from feeling offended or uncomfortable should not be the prerogative of government or its affiliates, said Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. "It's absurd to try to police demeaning speech," Lukianoff said before a crowd Wednesday night in Schofield Hall. "That's not what a free society does." Lukianoff's appearance at UW-Eau Claire served as a fundraiser for The Flip Side and came after FIRE's involvement in various ideological controversies surrounding the university. He expressed his views on freedom of speech, the establishment clause of the First Amendment, the definition […]» Read More

UWEC Bible study provokes controversy
January 25, 2006
An orally-communicated policy at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UWEC) sparked national discussion last semester when senior UWEC resident assistant (RA) Lance Steiger refused to cease hosting Bible studies in his dorm's basement. The university's controversial reaction provides the opportunity to examine Ripon College's own stance on such behavior. UWEC's policy prohibits RA's from organizing or leading religious, partisan and other ideological activities or "sales-party" events in their dormitories, including their own rooms. The idea behind the rule is that such activities would theoretically discourage residents from approaching their RA's because of their respective faiths. At Ripon, RA's are allowed […]» Read More

January 25, 2006
Student speech codes were supposed to be a thing of the past on this campus. But sometimes the causes of repression continue to rear their problematic heads — often in a different form. Last semester, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire resident assistant Lance Steiger sued his college and the UW System in federal court — and rightfully so — for violating his First Amendment rights to free expression and freedom of religion after prohibiting him from leading Bible studies in his room. The controversy began when Mr. Steiger was sent a letter last summer stating that his actions were in violation […]» Read More
Univ. of Wisconsin Sidesteps System-Wide Policy on Bible Study Bans
January 23, 2006
A University of Wisconsin committee is recommending that two UW campuses be allowed to continue their bans on resident assistants leading Bible studies in their dorm rooms. Instead of recommending a system-wide policy, a UW committee has issued a report recommending that there not be a uniform policy on whether RAs lead Bible studies in their own dorms. The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UWEC) is currently being sued over its Bible study ban. At the same time UWEC has outlawed RA-led Bible studies, it has encouraged RAs to lead controversial plays and seminars promoting feminism. Robert Shibley with the Foundation […]» Read More

A committee formed to examine bans on employee-led Bible studies at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UWEC) last week recommended that the university system president allow the bans to continue. In a Jan. 11 report, the committee of administrators and students recommended that University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly allow the university's campuses to ban student employees from leading Bible studies in their university-funded dormitories.

He who troubleth his own house…
January 19, 2006
Is it reasonable for a public university in Wisconsin to require that its resident assistants abandon certain religious practices during the scholastic year? A committee commissioned by the UW Board of Regents seems to think so. Recently, an assembly of 14 student life experts — including one from each of Wisconsin's four-year, public colleges — was called upon by UW System President Kevin Reilly. The committee, called the "Resident Assistant Working Group," was to recommend a policy concerning the liberties a UW school can take in restricting the rights of its RAs to practice ideology in their rooms.

UW-Eau Claire decision limits its students' free speech rights

I am a professor at UW-Eau Claire committed to the constitutional guarantee of freedom for all speech, popular or unpopular, religious or anti-religious. I am alarmed when ideas are restricted in the university. Recently interim Chancellor Vicki Lord Larson announced that UW-EC is no longer enforcing its unwritten ban on religious, ideological and political activities by an off-duty resident assistant in his/her dorm. I applaud this decision! UW-EC was attempting to avoid coercion and "unapproachable" RAs. Could these issues be solved by prohibitions?

MADISON, Wis. – Republican lawmakers praised a University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire resident assistant on Tuesday for speaking out against a school practice prohibiting him from holding Bible studies in his dorm building. Lance Steiger of Minnesota told lawmakers he was stunned when a school official warned he could face disciplinary action for continuing to have weekly Bible studies in his dorm basement.

College should be a place of higher learning
December 5, 2005
I don't recall dorm life as being for the faint of heart. Apart from hall surfing, contact highs and "the walk of shame" following an ill-advised romantic encounter, living in a dormitory requires young people to learn to put up with beliefs and behavior that may make them uncomfortable. Universities often view this as a good thing. Living among those with different values, they claim, is a "broadening" experience. Being offended can actually be educational. But not all forms of offense are equally enlightening. Exposure to vulgarity, casual sex and music reminiscent of the slaughter of cats presumably opens minds […]» Read More

If the attorney general's office took a position, Deputy Attorney General Daniel Bach wrote in a Monday letter to UW System President Kevin Reilly, it would be unable to defend the state or any of its affiliates in future lawsuits concerning the issue. "I think it imprudent to put this department … in the position of being unable to perform our representational functions on behalf of the state," […]» Read More
David v. Goliath
November 19, 2005
Lance Steiger has had a lot on his mind recently. In the past week, the UW-Eau Claire senior finance student took three exams and wrote a paper. And to top it all off, he's also the resident assistant caught in the middle of a national debate surrounding the university's rule prohibiting RAs from leading Bible study sessions in their dorm rooms. Steiger said he loves his school and his job, but felt he needed to question the policy when he first learned of it this summer. "This isn't just a Christian Bible study issue," Steiger said Friday morning seated in […]» Read More
Legislators request Lautenschlager's opinion in Eau Claire controversy
November 17, 2005
Twenty-five Wisconsin legislators sent a letter to Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager Wednesday, asking her legal opinion on a University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire policy, which they feel may be unconstitutional. The policy, which first made headlines earlier this month, prohibits resident assistants from leading Bible studies in their residence halls. "Consultations with the Legislature's top attorneys indicate that this policy may conflict with the 'free exercise of religion clause' of the First Amendment," the letter reads. "We are concerned the Bible ban puts the UW System in a precarious position with the U.S. Constitution." Just two days earlier, the Attorney General's […]» Read More
State Attorney General will review RA policy
November 17, 2005
The debate over UW-Eau Claire's policy prohibiting resident assistants from conducting religious, political or sales-related activities in their residencies reached the state attorney general this week. UW System President Kevin Reilly enlisted the legal counsel of Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager in a Monday letter, asking for her to assess the legality of Eau Claire's ban on such activities. A group of legislators from around the state also requested Lautenschlager's opinion in a Wednesday letter. The System's decision to seek Lautenschlager's input came after Reilly and the Board of Regents recognized the legal complexity of the debate, Doug Bradley, System […]» Read More

November 16, 2005
Once again, state legislators and the national media have turned their attention to the UW System. This time, their fiery gaze has zeroed in on UW-Eau Claire. Over the summer, RAs who led Bible studies during their off-hours were contacted by Associate Director of Housing and Residence Life Deborah Newman and informed that they are not permitted to hold the Bible studies in their dorm rooms. The decision has been furiously condemned by numerous Wisconsin legislators and the Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. For all the attention given to Eau Claire, they are not the only institution with […]» Read More
Opinion sought on Bible study
November 15, 2005
UW System officials asked the attorney general Monday for her opinion on whether a UW-Eau Claire policy that bans resident assistants from leading Bible studies in their dorm rooms is constitutional. The policy has prompted sharp criticism of the university, and UW System spokesman Doug Bradley said officials feel a sense of urgency to settle the matter. Kelly Kennedy, a spokesman for Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager, said her office received the request late Monday and had not had a chance to review it. "This is something we need to have the chief legal mind in the state let us know […]» Read More
UW religious debate reaches Wis. lawmakers
November 15, 2005
In a situation that may strain the relationship between church and state in Wisconsin, UW System officials appealed to the state attorney general Monday for her input on a UW policy that forbids resident assistants from holding religious functions in dormitories. The UW System called on state Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager Monday to determine the legality of the current UW System policy. Also Monday, U.S. Rep. Mark Green, R-Green Bay, called for hearings in Congress and the state Legislature to look into the controversy which started earlier this month when some resident assistants at UW-Eau Claire complained about the policy.

Green calls for hearing
November 15, 2005
The First Amendment debate surrounding the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire continued Monday, as the UW System continues to try to strike a balance between freedom of expression and the establishment clause. Early in the day, U.S. Rep. Mark Green, R-Wis., penned a letter to UW System President Kevin Reilly making clear his desire for the state to hold hearings investigating UW-Eau Claire's prohibition on resident assistants leading Bible studies. Later in the afternoon, Reilly sent a letter of his own to Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager requesting her written opinion on whether the policy is consistent with the First Amendment. "This […]» Read More
Bible Study Ban Broadens at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
November 14, 2005
EAU CLAIRE, Wis., November 14, 2005—Under nationwide pressure over its ban on private, resident assistant (RA)-led Bible studies, the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire (UWEC) has widened its assault on basic civil liberties while engaging in a campaign of deception. UWEC has told the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) that RAs are now and have been prohibited from "leading, organizing or recruiting students" for any organization or activity in their dorms—an assertion flatly contradicted by the evidence. "UWEC's response to FIRE defies rational explanation," stated David French, president of FIRE, which brought the situation to the public's attention after […]» Read More
Political Grapevine: Bible Study Ban
November 14, 2005
[…] Bible Study Ban Republican candidate for Governor Mark Green is demanding that the University of Wisconsin rescind what he calls its "unconstitutional" policy banning student resident assistants from leading bible studies in their own dorm rooms. RA's who led Bible groups on their own time were threatened with disciplinary action by the university's associate housing director, who told them students might not feel comfortable approaching RA's who teach bible studies. But the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education accused the school of hypocrisy, noting the housing office praised an RA who put on three productions of the controversial feminist […]» Read More
Bible study ban prompts question
November 14, 2005
University of Wisconsin System President Kevin Reilly on Monday asked the state attorney general to determine whether it's unconstitutional for Wisconsin universities to prohibit resident assistants from conducting Bible studies in their dormitories. His request comes four months after UW-Eau Claire ordered resident assistant Lance Steiger to stop leading Bible discussions in the basement of his dormitory. Resident assistants at the university receive free room and board and a $675-per-semester stipend in exchange for nurturing and counseling dorm residents. University officials said that by organizing and leading Bible study in the dormitory, Steiger was placing undue pressure on residents to […]» Read More
UW should dump RA Bible study ban
November 13, 2005
The recent flap over whether resident assistants at UW-Eau Claire (and other UW campuses) should be allowed to hold Bible study sessions in dormitories raises two issues: individual rights and the oft-mentioned "separation of church and state." That latter phrase raises confusion because while it is tossed about in debates such as this, it does not appear in the U.S. Constitution. The First Amendment says Congress can "make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Translation: Government can't have an official religion or prevent people from belonging to whatever religion they choose. It was […]» Read More
Bible study is speech
November 13, 2005
It is not true that officials at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will be conducting room checks to make sure that students aren't reading their Bibles or the Qur'an on state property; nor will those officials be conducting bed checks to make sure the kids aren't praying before they close their eyes to sleep. But officials are doing something almost as silly by enforcing a non-written policy barring resident assistants from holding religious or political activities in the dorms where they work, even when those activities take place on the students' own time. Lance Steiger, a senior at UW-Eau Claire, […]» Read More
How long before they ban private Bible reading?
November 11, 2005
Americans' First Amendment freedoms of speech and religion have never been more threatened than they are today, particularly for people who believe the Bible is sacred and its teachings worthy of study. This fact would astound the Founders, many of whom fought and bled to establish freedom of speech and religion as fundamental rights of all citizens. But then John Adams and James Madison never imagined what has our public schools have become, either. What they've become in too many ways is rabidly anti-First Amendment. Consider the recent ruling of administrators at the University of Wisconsin-Eu Claire banning resident assistants […]» Read More
RAs, students share mixed feelings
November 10, 2005
It came as a surprise for senior Mike Palumbo when he heard about the policy forbidding RAs from leading religious, political or ideological activities in their rooms and residence halls. Palumbo, a Sutherland resident who attends Christian Bible studies regularly, said while he understands the university's concern, he doesn't believe it is acting fairly in regards to an RA's rights.' "There's no one RA that can please everyone on the floor," Palumbo said. "Being a Bible study leader, I've never heard anyone on the floor saying, 'Oh, my stupid RA. He's a Bible study leader.'

The university's policies for its RA's have been receiving considerable attention since the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education criticized the rules.

University should let RAs show their faith
November 10, 2005
The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has given the state's Christian conservatives a legitimate cause about which to be indignant and outraged. School officials are reviewing their employment policies after clamping down on several dormitory resident assistants who had been leading private, voluntary Bible studies in their own rooms. RAs typically are students paid by the university to oversee dorms. Deborah Newman, associate director for housing and residence life, sent a letter to the RAs that said if the studies continued, students might not find them "approachable" or might fear they'd be "judged or pushed in a direction that does not […]» Read More
FIRE Demands University of Wisconsin Lift Ban on RA-Led Bible Studies
November 8, 2005
The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has threatened its resident assistants, or "RAs," with disciplinary action if they hold a Bible study on their own time in their dorm rooms. A UW-Eau Claire administrator has told certain RAs the mere fact that they lead a Bible study may make some students feel they are being judged or that the RA is less "approachable." The head of one civil liberties group, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), is calling the school's prohibition against RAs leading Bible studies "an absolute and complete absurdity." The group has sent a letter to UW-Eau […]» Read More

By Suzanne Fields at Townhall.com What do the Bible and the "The Vagina Monologues" have in common? Not much. But surely we can all agree that both are covered by the First Amendment, guaranteeing freedom of religion and freedom of expression. Well, that's not so at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. At UWEC you can live in a dorm and watch a performance of "The Vagina Monologues," but you can't join a Bible studies group. Any resident assistant, or RA, as the live-in student counselors are called, can put on a performance of the play, and one has, but leading […]» Read More
RA Bible study ban draws FIRE's ire
November 7, 2005
It never struck senior Lance Steiger as an activity that could lead to disciplinary action; it was just something he was accustomed to doing on a regular basis. Every Tuesday last academic year, Steiger would take a Bible down to the basement of Horan Hall with some students, and they would look at a chapter or verse from in it and try to apply it to their lives. Then, while spending the summer back home in Cannon Falls, Minn., a letter from Deborah Newman, an associate director of housing, informed him that if he continued with these actions, he would […]» Read More
Reps. blast UW-Eau Claire
November 7, 2005
Two Wisconsin legislators expressed outrage last week over University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's policy of prohibiting residential assistants from leading bible study groups in their dorm rooms. This policy has been attracting attention after the Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education made public last week their concern with UW-Eau Claire's policy. "Essentially what [UW-Eau Claire officials] are saying is students who become RAs have to surrender their right to pursue their faith, even within the privacy of their own dorm rooms," U.S. Rep. Mark Green, R-Wis., said. Green said he talked with a UW-Eau Claire student on Sunday who has […]» Read More

A resident assistant in a dormitory at the University of Wisconsin in Eau Claire has been told that he cannot hold informal Bible study sessions in the dorm because it would amount to an illegal endorsement of religion by a state employee, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Lance Steiger held the weekly sessions with a small group of friends for much of last year, but over the summer he was told to stop.

Every Tuesday last school year, Lance Steiger took a Bible to the basement of his dormitory at UW-Eau Claire and led a small group of friends in a discussion about a particular chapter or verse. Steiger, a resident assistant and a junior at the time, said he was never told he could not lead a Bible study in the dorm where he worked helping students adjust to college classes and campus life. But in July, he got a letter from school administrators warning him that if he continued to hold Bible studies in his dorm this year, he would face […]» Read More

[Watch TV coverage of this story on WEAU.com.] A national non-profit education association is criticizing a UW-Eau Claire policy prohibiting resident assistants to hold bible studies in the dorms. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education says the directive is "a shameful attack on freedom of religion." The current policy prohibits resident assistants, or RA's, from hosting any religious or political meetings in dorms, but they can participate in or host them anywhere else on campus. University officials say the policy is under review. "I was a little surprised that at a university like this where they promote a lot […]» Read More

University denies religious freedom

By Charles Parsons at The Badger Herald Recently the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has banned resident assistants from organizing and leading bible study groups in their dorm rooms. In a letter sent to a RA in July, Associate Director of Housing and Residence Life Deborah Newman justified her decision by explaining that "we have a fair number of students … who do not practice Christianity, as well as some Christians who may follow a different doctrine … It is very important to us that these students still feel that they can turn to you in a crisis, for information and […]» Read More

By Michael Gendall at The Badger Herald The Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) made public its gripe with the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Wednesday, claiming the UW school has "shamefully" attacked the religious freedom of its employees by prohibiting resident assistants from leading bible studies in their rooms. "As a state university, UWEC has no business forbidding RAs or any other students to engage in religious activities in their own rooms and on their own time," FIRE President David French said in a release.

This Month in FIRE History: Religious Liberty Vindicated Across University of Wisconsin System
March 31, 2010
In March of 2006, FIRE scored an important victory for religious liberty across the University of Wisconsin System. The case began in July of 2005, when an administrator at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire sent a letter to the school's Christian resident assistants (RAs) ordering them to stop leading Bible studies in their dormitories. More specifically, administrators banned all voluntary studies of the Bible, Koran, and Torah that took place in the RAs' rooms or anywhere in their dormitories. The officials believed that holding such studies would make RAs less "approachable" to students who did not share their beliefs. Despite […]» Read More
Religious Liberty Vindicated Across University of Wisconsin System
March 14, 2006
MADISON, Wis., March 14, 2006—On Friday afternoon, the University of Wisconsin's (UW's) Board of Regents voted to protect religious liberty and freedom of expression on every UW campus. After six months of public pressure from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), the Regents finally approved a policy that allows resident assistants (RAs) to lead Bible studies or any other meetings in their own dorm rooms. "UW's decision to uphold religious liberty and freedom of expression is of national significance," stated FIRE Interim President Greg Lukianoff. "The 'Bible study ban' was unfair, unconstitutional, and highly unpopular." The Bible study […]» Read More

UW campuses at Madison and Eau Claire currently have policies banning RAs from leading Bible studies in their dormitories, but a newly proposed policy would repeal them. This move comes after months of pressure from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). "This proposed policy is precisely what FIRE requested and what the First Amendment demands," declared FIRE Interim President Greg Lukianoff.

MADISON, Wis., January 16, 2006—The University of Wisconsin (UW) has missed yet another opportunity to demonstrate that it respects its resident assistants' (RAs') basic rights. A UW System committee recommended late last week that two UW campuses be allowed to maintain policies banning RAs from leading Bible studies on their own time and in their own dormitories. UW has faced months of intense public scrutiny since the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) brought the unconstitutional ban to light.

January 9, 2006
On Friday, January 6, FIRE wrote to University of Wisconsin System President Kevin P. Reilly, who requested that interested parties weigh in on the development of a system-wide policy to determine whether RAs may lead Bible studies in their own dormitories. FIRE's letter to Reilly pointed out that the UW System not only can but must allow RAs to lead voluntary gatherings of fellow students for the purpose of studying the Bible. FIRE also pointed out that some RA activities, such as private religious practice, are outside the power of the state to regulate. Stay tuned for further developments.» Read More

The lawsuit and policy suspension follow weeks of intense public pressure on UWEC since the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) publicly exposed the university's unjust and unconstitutional policy. "UWEC courted this lawsuit by ignoring the protests of FIRE, legislators, opinion makers, and the general public that this policy is both legally and morally wrong," remarked FIRE Director of […]» Read More

November 18, 2005
The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has asked the state Attorney General if it can constitutionally ban resident assistants, or RAs, from leading Bible studies in their dormitory rooms. Controversy erupted after university officials sent out a letter warning RAs they would face disciplinary action if they continued leading Bible studies; and now the school is under fire for broadening the ban to exclude other activities as well. A civil rights watchdog group, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), called on UW-Eau Claire to drop the original ban.

Just seeing the word "buffet" in a restaurant's name is enough to send most foodies scurrying away, evoking visions of a horde of diners pawing at trays of microwaved food purchased at a warehouse club store.
You'll still find a horde at Santo's Modern American Buffet and Sushi in Coconut Creek, but foodies need not fear. This new restaurant brings much-needed class and spunk to the buffet genre, with its eclectic offerings, slick ambiance and snappy service.
For a reasonable $19.95 at dinner, you'll get all-you-can-eat access to 25 or more types of sushi, a selection of Chinese-American favorites, a well-stocked raw bar, a sprinkling of Italian dishes, three types of ceviche, a mixed-meat grill and one of the best dessert sections this recovering buffetgoer has sampled. Lunch costs $12.25, and prices are discounted by age. Kids up to 3 years old eat for free, ages 4 to 7 are charged one-third the price, and ages 8 to 12 get a half-price meal.
Santo's offers all the trappings of typical restaurant service, except for a server bringing you a plate — not that we minded, thanks to the instant gratification of eating within minutes of being seated. Here, there's no trying to flag down one server who is racing to clean 10 tables. Instead, drinks are refilled quickly. Used plates are snapped up in seconds. Custom preparations are offered for sushi, the raw bar and desserts. While we had a longer-than-usual wait for a table thanks to a group of 40 crashers, one of the owners offered us a hand-picked selection of sushi to keep us interested and happy.
The restaurant's decor of polished black stone, recessed lighting and white furniture gives it a modern vibe. On the southern side of the restaurant are high-top tables, giving this area the feel of a trendy bar. On the opposite side are more traditional booths and square tables nicely spaced out for groups and families who want to make repeat trips for seconds (and thirds and fourths).
If you can't get over the fact that you've actually set foot in a buffet, well, you need to relax with some sake flights. For $6, you get a choice of three sakes from a list that includes Ty Ku coconut nigori sake, Hana lychee sake and Morimoto Junmai Classic, among others.
To make the visit to Santo's truly worthwhile, it helps to be an indecisive sushi lover. We were pleased with the huge selection, as well as the solid ingredients and preparation. Highlights include the Manhattan roll with salmon, escolar, cream cheese, avocado and a crunchy exterior; a roll topped with chunks of banana; the rainbow roll with salmon, tuna and avocado wrapped on the outside for a colorful display; the vegetarian roll with red pepper, cream cheese, tofu, mango and seaweed salad; and the dragon roll with shrimp tempura. You'll also find the usual suspects: California rolls, Alaskan rolls, spicy tuna rolls, sashimi and so on. If you don't see what you want, the restaurant seems more than happy to whip up a custom roll. Just to test that theory, I was tempted to ask for a chocolate mousse, ceviche and fried mac and cheese roll.
Having our stomachs sufficiently distended by the sushi, we made our way to the rest of the buffet, and found a nice raw bar with snow crab, shrimp cocktail, oysters, mussels and clams. Ask your server about getting that crab steamed with melted butter on the side. You'll also get to try three ceviches: Mexican shellfish, a classic Peruvian-style ceviche and a mango shrimp ceviche that pleased us with its mild fruit flavor. Try some of the carpaccio while you're there.
Just as we finally had a hankering for something hot, we were disheartened by the weak offerings from the meat grill. While nobody was expecting steakhouse-quality cuts at a buffet, the much-lauded prime rib consisted of skinny strips of beef that had the flavor torched out of them. While you'll do well to just skip the steak, you will find some nice sausages, grilled sliced vegetables and slightly blackened corn on the cob.
Moving along, we got to the fun, wacky part: an assortment of Chinese, American, Italian and what a discerning diner might call "kid food" (though the adults help themselves liberally). As a rule, you won't go wrong eating a crustacean here. By unanimous vote at our table, the favorite item from the buffet was the Grand Marnier shrimp, coated in a rich, slightly sweet mayonnaise-based sauce. Nearby, the fried, cheese-encrusted chicken cutlets had us taking extra bites. You'll also want to give the barbecue ribs and spare ribs a go. If you like Vietnamese food, you'll enjoy the rich, cilantro-infused spare ribs.
The Chinese-American offerings of lo mein, chicken fried rice and sweet-and-sour pineapple chicken are what you'd expect at a Chinese restaurant. Toward the end of the buffet is an assortment of guilty pleasures, including pork dumplings, fried mac and cheese, shrimp tempura, sweet chili wings and spring rolls.
At this point, we were slumping into our seats in a hushed, satisfying stupor. Our intrepid crew recovered and ventured on to sample the shot-size desserts. Before you grab anything, however, ask your server for a helping of freshly fried Thai doughnuts. You will ignore the ones at the buffet. Those cold doughnuts are like an obscenity compared to the hot, airy ones that are served with a side of vanilla creme. If doughnuts aren't your thing, go for the succulent chocolate mousse, the creamy tiramisu or the little brownie squares. There's also a freezer of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream to pair with everything.
Gauging by the size of the crowd and the restaurant's only having been open for several months, it seems Santo's is finding a market for its hip yet accessible buffet concept. We vowed to return with our family of picky eaters. The highbrow members will be satisfied by the eclectic piles of sushi, and the philistines can pick clean the tray of fried mac and cheese.

wmconfig is a free tool for automatically generating menus for various
X window managers. It uses a very simple configuration, it's fast and small.
A special toolkit (Gtk or Qt / KDE) is not required and the menu entries may
be edited with the text editor of your choice.
wmconfig will read the application template files located in /etc/wmconfig
and add an entry into the menu if that application is found on your system.
It will also read the application template files from the .wmconfig directory
in the user's home directory. Therefore, the user's settings will override
the system-wide settings. If optionally any extra files are given as an
argument on the command line, those will be read last and merged with the
others (possibly overriding the settings in system and user home dir files).
wmconfig creates menus for the following window managers/desktop environments:
aewm, afterstep, amiwm, blackbox, ctwm, e16, e17, ede, epiwm, equinox,
fluxbox, flwm, freedesktop, fvwm, fvwm2, fvwm95, gnome2, golem, icewm,
kahakai, kde1, kde2, kde3, kde4, launcher, lxde, mlvwm, mwm, olwm, openbox,
pekwm, piewm, pwm, qvwm, sapphire, tvtwm, twm, ude, vtwm, wmaker, wmx, xfce

Andrew Pojman, Ed.D.
Adjunct Faculty
B.A. Biology and Secondary Education, Adams State College, 1972
M.A. General Psychology, University of Northern Colorado, 1975
Ed.D. School Psychology, University of Northern Colorado, 1977
Dr. Pojman is a psychodynamically oriented clinician with training and experience with a wide variety of patients in different clinical situations. Following his graduation, Dr. Pojman worked for three years as a school psychologist. He worked with handicapped children and adolescents with disabilities including mental retardation, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, and psychotic disorders. Leaving the school district, Dr. Pojman entered into private practice and began consulting at local private schools and agencies. His experience at the Raskob Institute, a private facility serving learning-disabled adults and children, sharpened his diagnostic and clinical skills in evaluating the learning-disabled and neurologically handicapped. These work experiences have developed Dr. Pojman's skills in individual and group treatment and assessment of children and adolescents.
Since the early 1980s, Dr. Pojman maintained active professional involvement with psychiatric hospitals. This experience included caring for both adolescent and adult patients in conjunction with a psychiatrist and providing inpatient care to adolescents as the admitting clinician. He was the Chief of Psychology at Gladman Psychiatric Hospital for three years. Duties involved proctoring individual psychologists and serving as a liaison for psychologists to the medical staff and administration. Dr. Pojman went on to become the Coordinator of the Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) Program at Oak Grove Adolescent Treatment Center, where he developed a treatment program to provide specialized inpatient services for ADHD adolescents and their families. Dr. Pojman was particularly active at Walnut Creek Psychiatric Hospital. He was a Primary Care Clinician directly admitting and treating adolescents and their families. In addition, he also served on a variety of hospital committees related to the care and quality of psychiatric patients throughout the hospital.
These experiences have helped form Dr. Pojman's clinical interests in the diagnosis and assessment of psychopathology, the treatment of children and adolescents, family therapy, and group therapy. Teaching and consulting to various agencies has allowed Dr. Pojman to develop and expand these interests even more. He has been a consultant at WestCoast Children's Center, the Center for Living Skills, and the Summit Center, a county-run residential center for adolescent juvenile delinquents. Dr. Pojman has a private practice in clinical and forensic psychology. He presents nationally at trainings and conferences on topics related to child and adolescent psychology with an emphasis on group therapy, assessment and psychopathology.

Prevents screen scratching and other damage
The BodyGuardz range of screen protectors are made from the same material used to shield the front of vehicles from rock chips and provides your iPhone with unmatched scratch protection from outside elements. By creating a tough barrier between your screen and the world, any damage will be done to the screen protector and not the phone, keeping your device looking good as new.
Easy to apply
BodyGuardz screen protectors are easy to apply, as they are custom cut for each device. Simply clean the screen with the included microfibre cloth, line up the screen protector with your phone and use the application gel and card to smooth out any bubbles. Once on, the screen protector is practically invisible.
Crystal clarity provides invisible protection
While it's important to protect your screen, it's also vital that the screen protector does not hinder your smartphone use by clouding the screen or decreasing the sensitivity of the touchscreen.
BodyGuardz screen protectors are specially made to provide optimal clarity, while also being thin enough to keep your touchscreen in perfect working order. Once on, you wont even notice the BodyGuardz screen protector is there.
Anti-microbial coating coating keeps your phone hygienic
Mobile phones are typically covered in dirt and grime which causes a build up of germs. The specialist anti-bacterial coating helps protect your phone from 99.9% of germ build up on your smartphone's screen. When touching or texting on your iPhone 5S / 5 you can be sure that you aren't covering your hands in infectants.

Hiya everyone! I'm new, hence me posting. But I'm not new to foruming.
I' m a girl, and my age is posted so there's no reason for me posting that.
I love romance/comedy anime and manga, but I'll occasionally watch other genres. So far I have watched, or am watching, Chobits, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Honey and Clover I and II, Ai Yori Aoshi (and Enishi), Tsuyokiss, Bleach, Samurai Champloo, and Cowboy Bebop. Well, this place seems fun, I hope to see you all around. ^_^

hey everybody,
My name is Julianna, and I've been an anime fan since I was 12
10 years now... wow... The first anime I ever saw was Sailor Moon (of course) but I really started to love anime after watching Ranma 1/2. After Ranma came Neon Genesis Evangelion, and even though to this day I still don't understand Eva fully, it is still one of my favourites.
I've been a lurker on this forum for quite some time now, and I finally decided to join
My current favourite is NANA (but my favourites change quite often )
And I'm currently watching Death Note, D. Gray Man, Asatte no Houkou and Sumomo mo momo mo

Anyways, I'm a 15 years old girl from good ol' germany (and I'm not ashamed to say it, though people think so bad about us ... it's so NOT true...). And - who would have thought it - I'm a big Anime-Fan. Here animes aren't that popular, I guess every second person doesn't even know that they exist, but I came to know them pretty well and ... since then, I became stranger every day X'DD
Just wanted to put my sig in here ... X'D

So I guess it's only common sense to register and say thank you to the various threads that helped me out. I shall start with here first.
Thank you.

10 Natural Remedies for Chest Infection
Chest Infection
A chest infection is a contagion that affects your lungs; the condition has a range of symptoms such as chest pain, pressure in your chest and persistent cough. The infections of the chest are result of viruses, fungi and bacteria. (Image source:Getty)Loading...
Steam can help you reduce the severity of chest infection and expel phlegm. Inhale the steam deeply produced from a vaporizer or several cups of boiled water. (Image source:Getty)
Eucalyptus (Nilgiri Oil)
Eucalyptus (Nilgiri oil) is an excellent remedy to get rid of chest infection, owing to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Add a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil into a bowl of steaming water. Lean over it and breathe deeply for several minutes. (Image source:Getty)
Thyme Juice
A powerful expectorant, thyme juice is excellent for the lungs. Not only it moves excess mucus out of the lungs to ease the cough, but also acts as an antispasmodic on lung tissue and kills bacteria in the lungs. (Image source:Getty)
Garlic can be used to reduce the severity of a bacterial chest infection. It can be used in food preparations, eaten raw garlic or added to tea. To make garlic tea, add a teaspoon of freshly grated garlic to one cup of boiling water. (Image source:Getty)
Garlic, Lemon and Honey
A combination of garlic, lemon and honey can help get rid of chest infections. Crush half-a-onion to paste, add 2 spoons of lemon juice and honey to it. Consume the mixture three to four times a day. (Image source:Getty)
Ginger and Honey
Grate ginger and squeeze half a teaspoon of its juice. Combine it with a teaspoon of honey to make a syrup of the two natural ingredients. Consume the syrup thrice a day and you will get rid of chest infection. (Image source:Getty)
Milk, Turmeric Powder, Black Pepper powder and Honey
Take one glass hot milk. Add half teaspoon of turmeric powder, a pinch of black pepper powder, one spoon of honey to the milk. Drink the milk hot, at least thrice a day to get relief from chest infection. (Image source:Getty)
Plantain Juice
Plantain juice is like a herbal antibiotic that treats the infection. Moreover, the juice also acts as an expectorant on the lungs to get rid of the mucus from them and ease cough. (Image source:Getty)
Mustard Poultice
Mustard poultice, made by mixing one part dry mustard with three parts flour and a little water, is quite effective against chest infections. It stimulates the healing of chest infection and eases the symptoms. (Image source:Getty)
Rest your body
Sometimes, our busy schedules don't let our body get the rest it needs and which makes immune system to break down. With little immunity, our bodies may find it difficult to fight sickness or disease. Give your body the rest it needs to strengthen your immune system and fight illnesses. (Image source:Getty)
