Communities and residents along the MBTA commuter rail can breathe a sigh of relief: No 70-foot-tall monopoles.
The MBTA says it has withdrawn plans to build the $5.6 million monopole system for improved Wi-Fi service along its commuter rail network's rights of way.
In addition, it may take some time to restart the project because of other MBTA construction projects.
"Implementation of the Wi-Fi project at this time cannot be undertaken consistent with the MBTA's transportation system and safety needs," MBTA Interim General Manager Steve Poftak wrote In a letter Thursday to BAI Communications U.S. CEO Jerry Elliott . "At present, the MBTA must necessarily focus on the federally-mandated and time-sensitive positive train control project as well as the Green Line extension project, and activities on the right of way in support of the License will be delayed accordingly."
The positive train control project involves installing equipment designed to prevent train crashes.
The monopole plan included 14 commuter rail lines and boat lines and the South, North and Back Bay stations.
The monopole plans drew nearly universal criticism from state and federal legislators and from municipalities and residents located along the pole path who said the poles would interfere with historic sites, community character and with scenic views.
Poftak said, in his letter to Elliott, concerns over the effects of the monopoles on historic sites and community character were "valid."
The commonwealth's 11-member Congressional delegation sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission in late July asking the commission to look into the poles. "The commonwealth of Massachusetts is home to some of the most important historical sites in the United States, and it is essential to preserve these sites for future generations," the delegation wrote, according to a letter released by Sen. Edward Markey's office, D-Mass. "The commission should consider how installing monopoles high above the tree line could impact the historic and cultural character of the involved cities and towns."
The MBTA notified contractor BAI Communications that it will not approve the company's current Wi-Fi system proposal, under which BAI would install the monopoles.
In a letter to BAI, the MBTA said the proposal is not consistent with the license agreement, and cited concerns among members of the public and among federal and state legislators concerning the project's impact on historic sites and community character.
The MBTA said the pole license anticipated a more modest project involving the use of "short monopoles" or "existing light poles" to provide Wi-Fi, with only "excess space" available for lease to third party communication providers.
BAI's current proposal would double the size of every pole (and install an extensive fiber network) for the purpose of creating infrastructure to lease.
The MBTA has invited BAI to submit a new implementation plan that better reflects the more modest project anticipated by the license, on a timeframe that is consistent with the MBTA's transportation and safety needs.

Virginia Tech: Virginia Tech Threatens Student Newspaper's Future over Protected Anonymous Comments on Its Own Website
February 11, 2010
In February 2010, Virginia Tech's Commission on Student Affairs (CSA) threatened the future of its independent student newspaper, the Collegiate Times, because the newspaper allowed "irresponsible and inappropriate" comments to be posted anonymously on its website. The Commission on Student Affairs posited that allowing anonymous comments "counter[s] the Principles of Community," and threatened to violate Virginia Tech's contract by unilaterally ending financial support of the Collegiate Times, as well as threatening to disallow student organization funding for advertisements in the newspaper. After FIRE, the Student Press Law Center, and the ACLU of Virginia criticized these threats–and the Educational Media Company […]» Read More
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University: "Diversity" Requirement for Faculty Assessment Violates Academic Freedom and Freedom of Conscience
March 25, 2009
Since Virginia Tech first rescinded its ideological litmus test for faculty in its liberal arts college under pressure from FIRE, the school has slowly been making progress toward intellectual freedom. Most recently, Virginia Tech removed a politicized elaboration of "diversity accomplishments" from its university-wide tenure and promotion guidelines. A separate document still contains the diversity guidelines, however. The university also has yet to retract its demands that faculty demonstrate such "diversity accomplishments" when seeking raises, tenure, or promotion. These demands violate faculty members' freedom of conscience and academic freedom by politicizing the consideration of their teaching, scholarship, and personal development […]» Read More
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech): Ban on Certain Viewpoints and Requirement of Prior Approval for Speech

The Attorney General of Virginia's Office concluded that a new resolution from the Board of Visitors of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) that threatened freedom of speech and assembly at that public institution was unconstitutional and recommended that it not be implemented. The resolution would have declared that no individuals or organizations could meet on university property "if it can be determined that such persons or organizations advocate or have participated in illegal acts of domestic violence and/or terrorism," required all individuals or groups planning to hold a meeting to seek "approval [from] the President of the […]» Read More

Bias‐Related Incident Protocol
Speech Code Category: Policies on Bias and Hate Speech
Last updated: May 22, 2018
Bias incidents are expressions against a person or group because of the person's or group's age, color, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, national origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.
- Examples of bias‐related conduct include:
Words or actions that contradict the spirit of the Principles of Community
- Jokes that are demeaning to a particular group of people
- Holding a "date" or "slave" auction
- Performing a skit in which participants use blackface or other ethnic group makeup or props
- Hosting a culturally themed party
- Assuming characteristics of a minority group for advertising
- Posting flyers that contain demeaning language or images.
Virginia Tech recognizes two categories of bias incidents. An incident does not need to meet all criteria listed below.
Localized bias incident:
- Seen or heard by few people
- No violation of university policy
- No interest from media
- Cannot be investigated as a hate crime.
Community bias incident:
- Seen or heard by many
- Violates university policy
- Media and/or interest from outside the university community
- Can be investigated as a hate crime.
Response is driven by the two categories of bias‐related incidents listed above.
Localized Bias Incident = Localized Response
- Incidents that are localized or contained within a limited area of campus and seen or heard by a limited number of people.
- For a localized bias‐related incident (i.e., occurring within a limited area of campus, such as a residence hall bathroom), the administrator closest to the incident will address the issue, facilitate a response that resonates with the student or group of students involved, and issue a community statement if appropriate.
Community Bias Incident = Community Response
- Incidents that are widely known and/or violate policy will be processed by a Core Response Team.
- For a community bias‐related incident, the Core Response Team will determine if the incident can be considered a crime and whether a message from university administration is appropriate. This Core Response Team will be called together as soon as feasible when reports are shared with the Dean of Students Office. The Core Response Team will be called upon for all such incidents.
Free Speech: Virginia Tech is a place where the free exchange of ideas is valued and every person's perspective is important. Freedom of speech in the United States is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and by many state constitutions and state and federal laws. Free speech provisions protect many forms of intolerant statements, expressions, and conduct. Depending on the circumstances, a bias‐related incident may not be a crime. In certain contexts, courts have found hate speech to be protected even though many in the university community find it repugnant. If these expressions are inconsistent with Virginia Tech's Principles of Community, they may present an educational opportunity for better understanding protected speech and the role of tolerance in the campus community. Some bias‐related incidents may violate the Student Code of Conduct and may be adjudicated through the student conduct system. Virginia Tech cannot adjudicate matters that are deemed protected speech. Behavior that is discriminatory or otherwise hurtful to members of the community is addressed through educational interventions. Virginia Tech is committed to stopping these behaviors. Because some incidents may be beyond the reach of policy and laws, it is imperative that the university respond as a unified community to denounce such behavior. Acts of intolerance require all members of the university community to uphold the shared values outlined in the Virginia Tech Principles of Community. Regardless of whether incidents violate policy or are inappropriate or insensitive, it is crucial that Virginia Tech respond in a timely and consistent manner. All parties involved ‐‐ those who report such incidents as well as those accused ‐‐ will be treated with respect, consideration, and concern. Those involved will be given the opportunity to civilly discuss the incident with a trained professional and will be apprised of their options for resolving the incident.
- Examples of bias‐related conduct include:

Effectiveness of College Threat Assessment Teams is Debated
November 21, 2015
By Ryan J. Foley at Associated Press IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — As the fall semester began, communications professor and campus jester Kembrew McLeod organized a parody news conference to poke fun at the University of Iowa's governing board, expecting annoyed administrators might show up. Instead, a detective with the campus threat assessment team was there waiting for him. McLeod said the sending of a detective was at once intimidating and absurd, while public safety director David Visin said it was appropriate, noting administrators had received a phony email inviting them to the news conference from someone posing as a […]» Read More
Public University Pulls Funding From Conservative Group After Illegal Immigration Event
November 12, 2014
By Kaitlyn Schallhorn at Campus Reform Virginia Tech has rescinded funding from a conservative student group after it hosted an event on illegal immigration. Va. Tech's Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chapter last month hosted Bay Buchanan, a political commentator who served as the youngest U.S. Treasurer under Ronald Reagan, to speak about immigration. According to Va. Tech's student newspaper, the event was advertised with fliers calling the event, "Alien Invasion: How Illegal Immigration is Hurting America." "This combination of language and imagery is offensive, insensitive and a blatant act of disrespect towards the immigrant community and the Virginia Tech […]» Read More
UVa plans to revise sexual misconduct policy
May 5, 2011
The University of Virginia plans to revise its sexual misconduct policy to broaden the scope of offenses and to lower the standard of evidence necessary to find a student guilty. Under the policy, sexual misconduct would become the umbrella term to include any unwelcome sexual behavior. The revision more precisely defines what constitutes assault, harassment and exploitation, including offenses such as cyberstalking, the recording of sexual images and the knowing transmission of a sexually transmitted infection. The policy also would eliminate the geographic limit on UVa's jurisdiction, which under current policy covers university property or a student or employee residence […]» Read More

The Foundation for Individ ual Rights in Education (FIRE), an organization dedicated to protecting free speech on campus, reports that it has conferred its green-light award on Mr. Jefferson's university. UVa thereby becomes one of only 13 colleges in the nation — William & Mary is another — to receive the rare designation, which the Charlottesville school earned by revising its egregious speech codes.

University should not pressure faculty to alter their research
October 14, 2009
Virginia Tech is trying to walk a fine line when it promotes "diversity" as strongly as possible. Unfortunately, the university often crosses the line when it coerces faculty members to conform to the university's "diversity" mission. Last month, my organization, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, sent the university's Board of Visitors a 15-page letter with with 13 enclosures demonstrating that the university administration has, over the past few years, persistently increased pressure on faculty members to alter their research, teaching and personal development activities in order to show "diversity accomplishments." FIRE has no position on the university's diversity […]» Read More
At Tech, an ideological dispute over diversity
May 9, 2009
A letter from Virginia Tech's president reaffirming the university's commitment to diversity has reignited an ideological dispute over political correctness on campus. Tech officials last month backed away from a proposed policy that critics said tied promotion and tenure to participation in diversity initiatives. An array of mostly conservative organizations had lobbied against the guidelines, calling them an affront to academic freedom and a political litmus test for promotion. Tech maintained the proposal had been mischaracterized by off-campus groups. But the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education said it took up the cause at the request of a tenure-track faculty […]» Read More
Virginia Tech, Round 2: Staging Diversity
April 27, 2009
Just weeks after the president of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) ordered the provost to cancel a controversial policy, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences is maneuvering to reinstate it. The discarded policy made tenure and promotion contingent on a faculty member's demonstrated loyalty to a "diversity" dogma. The new policy appears set to do much the same thing-but to hide this intent behind a wall of academic jargon. Avowing that, "our commitment to equity and inclusive excellence has never been stronger," Dean Sue Ott Rowlands, says the College's "soon-to-be-unveiled strategic plan" […]» Read More

Why can't students say 'guns' in school?

A diversity step too far
April 19, 2009
Even in the age of Obama, race and other issues related to inclusiveness continue to confound officials at many of the nation's universities. Virginia Tech is a prime example, where well-meaning officials made the mistake of appearing to require professors to show an "active involvement in diversity" for promotion and consideration for tenure in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. They should have known better than to step on this third rail in academia. As a member of a minority group and as a former college teacher, I wish the Virginia Tech folks had used better judgment and […]» Read More
Virginia Tech drops diversity requirement from tenure policy
April 15, 2009
The president of Virginia Tech has asked the provost to remove from the university's new guidelines on tenure and promotion a requirement that professors show an "active involvement in diversity," which some conservative groups had criticized as a violation of academic freedom. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and other groups had complained that the condition amounted to a political litmus test and that it had nothing to do with professors' academic accomplishments. It did not belong, they said, in guidelines on tenure and promotion. The foundation, which is known as FIRE, wrote to Charles W. Steger, Virginia Tech's […]» Read More

Editorial: Making financial aid a priority will improve campus diversity
April 8, 2009
For high school seniors, available financial aid packages have long served as important precursors for making up one's mind about where to attend college. At Virginia Tech, potential students can expect to receive their financial aid offering a few days after they've received their acceptance notifications. It is very important for Tech to stay competitive with other state colleges when it comes to distributing financial aid. The last thing we would ever want would be to lose qualified applicants to other schools because we failed to put our financial aid offering out there fast enough. For many students, a hefty […]» Read More
Commitment to diversity as a job requirement
March 27, 2009
This week in The Chronicle, Robin Wilson has a story on the "diversity" factor in tenure and promotion guidelines at Virginia Tech. According to the guidelines, the promotion and tenure committee "expects all dossiers to demonstrate the candidate's active involvement in diversity." The provost at Virginia Tech claims that the guideline does not "require" professors to join diversity activities, but only "encourages" them to do so. The diversity criterion goes back to a few years ago, he adds, when the university wanted to make sure that people who did pursue diversity activities were valued for their efforts. This is a […]» Read More

Last week, NAS wrote about how Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) has made "diversity" service a requirement for faculty promotion and tenure. There, we showed that "Diversity" is not a category of academic accomplishment equivalent to high-quality teaching or success in scholarly research and publishing. "Diversity" is an ideology. The term summarizes a set of objectives popular on one part of the political spectrum.

Critics challenge diversity language in Virginia Tech's tenure policy

The critics, including the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, say the guidelines establish a "loyalty oath" that violates professors' academic freedom.

Political Litmus Test for Faculty at Virginia Tech Gets New Lease on Life

Virginia Tech is reinvigorating its crusade to impose an ideological litmus test on professors being assessed for promotion and tenure. The university's recently updated guidelines for a tenure candidate's dossier include several previously unwritten provisions highlighting the importance of reporting one's contributions to "diversity and inclusion" in and out of the classroom in order to get ahead at Virginia Tech.

My favorite bumper sticker is an American flag with the caption: "Think. It's patriotic." That's essentially what Steven Salaita, a professor of English at Virginia Tech, was trying to say when he posted commentary on Salon arguing against uncritical support of the military. But he chose to do so in a deliberately provocative way, framing his essay as an explanation for why he declined to donate his change (18 cents) from a convenience store purchase "to support the troops." The result, according to The Washington Post, was a "backlash" against him that has grown from "outrage on social media into calls […]» Read More

Although the vigil was not shut down, it could have been, and that's the point: "free speech zone" policies and other burdensome requirements for university approval should not exist in the first place. Robert writes: The reason that Virginia Tech did not bother enforcing these burdensome requirements on Thursday night is obvious: the university would have […]» Read More

'Roanoke Times' Covers Press Censorship at Virginia Tech; Gets FIRE Totally Wrong
February 12, 2010
The Roanoke Times (Va.) is covering Virginia Tech's recent shameful foray into press censorship, which Adam discussed at length yesterday on The Torch. Writer Tonia Moxley's coverage is actually pretty good and worth a read, but unfortunately Ms. Moxley seems to have a very erroneous idea about the nature of FIRE. Regarding FIRE, she writes: The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education is a conservative advocacy group opposed to affirmative action and diversity initiatives on colleges [sic] campuses. In April, the group objected to discussion of diversity policies that might have affected employment decisions at Tech. Moxley got our name […]» Read More
Virginia Tech Threatens Student Newspaper's Future Because it Allows Anonymous Online Comments
February 11, 2010
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University's (Virginia Tech's) Commission on Student Affairs has threatened the future of its independent student newspaper, the Collegiate Times, because the newspaper allows "irresponsible and inappropriate"—wait for it—anonymous comments on its own website. Virginia Tech contends that allowing anonymous comments "counter[s] the Principles of Community," a set of ideological rules that, applied in this way, violate the First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. According to a February 8, 2010, letter from Michelle McLeese, Chair, Commission on Student Affairs, to the Educational Media Company at Virginia Tech, Inc. (EMCVT)—the organization […]» Read More
'The Diversity Religion at Virginia Tech'
October 28, 2009
"Pushing professors to conform to any set of beliefs is inappropriate," writes Carey Stronach, president of the Virginia Association of Scholars (VAS), in a very good article yesterday for the Pope Center's Clarion Call. Stronach writes about FIRE's case at Virginia Tech, where professors have been increasingly pressured to demonstrate "diversity accomplishments" when being assessed for the quality of their work. Diversity sounds like a lofty goal. Who (this side of the Ku Klux Klan) is opposed to diversity? Who still favors excluding people just because of race or other innate characteristics? Those of us who marched with Dr. King in […]» Read More
Rights in the News: With FIRE's Help, Students Standing Up to Their Speech Codes
October 16, 2009
FIRE was elated to begin the week with the announcement that The College of William & Mary had reformed the last of its troublesome speech codes and become one of just eleven colleges to earn a "green light" rating in FIRE's Spotlight database. Perhaps the fever has spread to neighboring James Madison University, where the focus has intensified on JMU's policy on "Obscene Conduct" since it was named FIRE's Speech Code of the Month. Not surprisingly, heightened awareness of the policy sowed discontent among the student body–enough so that this week JMU's student newspaper The Breeze reported that JMU has […]» Read More
Mandatory 'Diversity Accomplishments' at Virginia Tech Violate Faculty Rights; FIRE Details Violations in 15-page Letter to Board of Visitors
September 16, 2009
FIRE has sent Virginia Tech's Board of Visitors a 15-page letter with 13 enclosures detailing how administrators have begun to demand "diversity accomplishments" from faculty members across the university over the past several years. Professors are expected to alter their own research, teaching, and personal intellectual development in order to prove their loyalty to Virginia Tech's political agenda. Those who lack the right "diversity accomplishments" will see diminished career prospects, including for tenure and promotion. FIRE is calling on the Virginia Tech's board to rescind the coercive elements of its diversity agenda. In FIRE's September 14, 2009, letter to John R. Lawson, […]» Read More
Bit by Bit, Virginia Tech Softens Ideological 'Diversity' Requirements for Faculty; Much More To Be Done for Freedom of Conscience
July 8, 2009
After Virginia Tech rescinded its ideological litmus test for faculty (pending further review) in its liberal arts college under pressure from FIRE, the school has recently removed a long, ominous explanation of "diversity accomplishments" from its university-wide tenure and promotion guidelines. A separate document still contains the diversity guidelines, however. The university also has yet to retract its demands that faculty demonstrate such "diversity accomplishments" when seeking raises, tenure, or promotion. These demands violate faculty members' freedom of conscience and academic freedom by politicizing the consideration of their teaching, scholarship, and personal development activities, forcing them to demonstrate allegiance to […]» Read More
FIRE's Letter to the Editor of 'The Roanoke Times'
May 18, 2009
Last week, I discussed the inaccuracies and distortions contained in an editorial published by The Roanoke Times attacking FIRE. Specifically, the paper dismissed FIRE's concerns about the constitutionality of Virginia Tech's proposed guidelines for evaluating candidates for promotion and tenure, labeling FIRE a "conservative group that oppose[s] campus diversity efforts across the country." In addition to discussing the significant problems with the editorial here on The Torch, I also penned a letter to the Times' editors, correcting their misapprehensions. Unfortunately, the paper has failed to publish our letter, thus denying us the opportunity to set the record straight. We are […]» Read More
Getting it Wrong: 'Roanoke Times' Editorial Mischaracterizes FIRE and Problems with Virginia Tech's Diversity Requirements
May 13, 2009
An editorial in today's edition of The Roanoke Times attacks FIRE for criticizing Virginia Tech's proposed hiring guidelines for evaluating candidates for promotion and tenure. The guidelines, now withdrawn, would have required candidates to demonstrate a commitment to an abstract, ideologically loaded concept—"diversity"—that means many different things to different people. While perhaps well-intentioned, imposing the guidelines would have meant that regardless of their own beliefs, candidates would have had to pledge allegiance to the school's conception of "diversity," or risk losing their job or promotion. As we've explained at length in this space and in our letter to VT, that's […]» Read More
FIRE Critic on 'Chronicle of Higher Education' Blog Acknowledges Error
May 8, 2009
I reported on April 16 that University of Pennsylvania professor John L. Jackson Jr. had attacked FIRE in a blog entry published on The Chronicle of Higher Education blog, Brainstorm, over FIRE's successful efforts to keep Virginia Tech from violating its faculty members' freedom of conscience and academic freedom. Jackson had erroneously stated that FIRE would "reject any and all nods to affirmative action or other diversity initiatives" and had averred that "Maybe FIRE's hidden concern is that 'active involvement in diversity' could serve as another way of justifying tenure to otherwise undeserving minority scholars." In fact, FIRE has never […]» Read More
Rights in the News: FIRE's Thought Reform Efforts Continue to Resonate
May 1, 2009
It seems like every week we're reporting that FIRE's short film on the University of Delaware's experiment in thought reform has doubled the amount of views received on YouTube from the week before—a trend I'm all too happy to continue. This week the folks at Reason (which—throwback!—published Alan Charles Kors' article "Thought Reform 101" back in 2000) gave FIRE an extra hand by blogging about the video on their website, helping to push it toward 50,000 views. Thought reform at Delaware was also the subject of Robert's article this week for Pajamas Media. Robert also discussed Virginia Tech's efforts at […]» Read More
Rights in the News: FIRE on a Roll with Numerous Victories and Successful Videos
April 24, 2009
The past week at FIRE has been filled with victories for free speech on campus, and the media has responded. After FIRE's victory for freedom of conscience at Virginia Tech, the St. Petersburg Times published a column by Bill Maxwell entitled "A diversity step too far." In it, Maxwell agrees with FIRE's efforts to protect freedom of conscience at VT, writing: Although diversity is a worthy goal, suggesting that evidence of it is required as one of the activities in professors' annual report for advancement and tenure is wrong. As a former professor, I would not want to be forced […]» Read More
Rights in the News: A Good Week for FIRE at Virginia Tech
April 17, 2009
I blogged on Wednesday on the press generated by FIRE's successful effort to get Virginia Tech President Charles Steger to shelve a requirement that would have more deeply ensconced a "diversity" requirement for tenure and promotion for the university's arts and sciences faculty. FIRE's efforts and success at Virginia Tech were reported by The Chronicle of Higher Education (subscription required) and the Richmond Times-Dispatch as well as several blogs. You also may have noticed that there was a bit of a ruckus kicked up by University of Pennsylvania professor John L. Jackson, Jr., in a post on Brainstorm, a blog […]» Read More
FIRE Attacked on 'Chronicle of Higher Education' Blog over Virginia Tech
April 16, 2009
University of Pennsylvania professor John L. Jackson Jr. has attacked FIRE in a blog entry published on The Chronicle of Higher Education blog, Brainstorm, over FIRE's successful efforts to keep Virginia Tech from violating its faculty members' freedom of conscience and academic freedom. FIRE is used to criticism from all corners of the political arena. Indeed, we view much of this criticism as evidence that we're doing our job effectively. But Jackson's attack warrants response because it unfairly distorts our concerns with Virginia Tech's pressure on faculty candidates for promotion and tenure to demonstrate a commitment to "diversity." First, Jackson […]» Read More
Victory at Virginia Tech: Good News Travels Fast
April 15, 2009
News of FIRE's victory for freedom of conscience at Virginia Tech has been spreading quickly—unsurprising, given the proposed "diversity" requirement's chilling implications for the academic freedom of the Virginia Tech faculty. The Chronicle of Higher Education is among the publications to report on Virginia Tech President Charles Steger's decision to rescind the requirement, which had been roundly criticized by FIRE, the National Association of Scholars, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, and Virginia Tech's own student paper, The Collegiate Times, among others. The Richmond Times-Dispatch should be pleased to hear the news as well, having published a good editorial […]» Read More
FIRE Co-founder Commends Virginia Tech President for Withdrawing Ideological Litmus Test
April 15, 2009
FIRE Co-founder and Chairman Emeritus Alan Charles Kors e-mailed the president of Virginia Tech last night to commend him on his school's decision to withdraw its ideological "diversity" requirements for promotion and tenure. Alan writes: Dear President Steger, You have intervened where it is most appropriate, to preserve and protect the most cherished of freedoms: freedom of conscience and belief. It is frightening that individuals, however well-intentioned, thought to coerce ideological uniformity, but it is a wonderful thing that you have done in the exercise of your responsibilities and obligations as the president of a free institution in a free […]» Read More
Victory for Freedom of Conscience at Virginia Tech: New 'Diversity' Requirements for Tenure and Promotion No Longer Under Consideration, But Problematic Policies Remain
April 14, 2009
Today's press release announces what the Virginia Tech faculty appear not even to know, yet: the proposed new guidelines for faculty assessment in Virginia Tech's College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, which would have mandated reporting of "diversity" activities in violation of academic freedom and freedom of conscience, are no longer under consideration. FIRE had called on President Charles W. Steger to rescind the proposed guidelines after a tenure-track faculty member came to us for help. This is an important first step towards preserving faculty rights, but much more needs to be done. Over the past three years, Virginia […]» Read More
Victory for Freedom of Conscience at Virginia Tech: New 'Diversity' Requirements for Tenure and Promotion No Longer Under Consideration, But Problematic Policies Remain

BLACKSBURG, Va., April 14, 2009—The president of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) has announced that proposed new guidelines for faculty assessment, which would have mandated reporting of "diversity" activities in violation of academic freedom and freedom of conscience, are no longer under consideration. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) had called on President Charles W. Steger to rescind the proposed guidelines after a tenure-track faculty member came to FIRE for help.

Adam's Letter to the Editor at Virginia Tech on Mandatory 'Diversity Accomplishments'
April 10, 2009
FIRE's Adam Kissel wrote a letter to the editor of the Collegiate Times, Virginia Tech's student newspaper, in response to a column last week by Ellington Graves challenging FIRE's criticism of Virginia Tech's diversity requirements for faculty members and accusing FIRE of rendering a "poorly reasoned analysis." Adam sets the record straight. Readers should examine the policy documents and FIRE's analysis for themselves at www.thefire.org. In particular, they should read Provost McNamee's May 29, 2008, memo to all department heads and to promotion and tenure committees, in which he demands, "Candidates must do a better job of participating in and […]» Read More
New Virginia Tech 'Diversity' Requirements for Tenure Violate Academic Freedom, Will Be Comprehensively Reviewed by Board of Visitors
April 6, 2009
After being alerted to mandatory "diversity" requirements for faculty tenure, promotion, and personal development, the Board of Visitors at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) has agreed to fully review the school's tenure and diversity policies, FIRE's press release reports today. Over the past three years, Virginia Tech's provost, Mark McNamee, has increasingly demanded ideological conformity in the form of "diversity accomplishments" from the school's faculty. Last year, in a memo to all department heads and promotion and tenure committees, he insisted that candidates for promotion or tenure "do a better job of participating in and documenting their […]» Read More
New Virginia Tech 'Diversity' Requirements for Tenure Violate Academic Freedom, Will Be Comprehensively Reviewed by Board of Visitors

BLACKSBURG, Va., April 6, 2009—After being alerted to mandatory "diversity" requirements for faculty tenure, promotion, and personal development, the Board of Visitors at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) has agreed to fully review the school's tenure and diversity policies. "Promoting one's own view of diversity is one thing, but making narrowly defined and politicized views about diversity an ideological requirement for faculty members is quite another," FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said. "Political litmus tests have no place in higher education and the Board of Visitors must help defend individual conscience and academic freedom at Virginia Tech." Over […]» Read More
Greg in 'Huffington Post' on 'Hell Week for Campus Free Speech'
April 3, 2009
Defending free speech is often an exhilarating and rewarding experience, fighting the good fight in an uphill battle for constitutional rights against an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars. But sometimes, and this was one of those weeks, that hill looks pretty steep. Greg writes in his latest column on The Huffington Post on the "hell week for campus free speech."

FIRE Reaches Virginia Tech Community with Column in 'The Collegiate Times'
April 1, 2009
Yesterday on The Torch, Adam wrote convincingly about how Virginia Tech's efforts to impose vague requirements of a commitment to "diversity" on faculty for tenure and promotion is every bit as much a violation of academic freedom and freedom of conscience as requiring a commitment to similarly amorphous ideals, such as "patriotism" or "Christianity." The Collegiate Times, the student newspaper of Virginia Tech, has published a version of Adam's Torch entry in its editorial section today, helping FIRE's concerns about this invasive and unconstitutional threat to reach the constituency most in need of hearing them: the more than 30,000 students […]» Read More
Virginia Tech to Demand 'Diversity' Conformity by Vote
March 30, 2009
Suppose the provost at your college started a new "patriotism" initiative. In the first year, he would permit faculty members to self-report their "patriotism accomplishments." In the second year, faculty members would be strongly encouraged to report their "patriotism accomplishments" on their annual reports of their activities. In the third year, faculty members would be told that "patriotism accomplishments are especially important for faculty seeking tenure and promotion," and dossiers for tenure and promotion would include a multi-part section on "patriotism." There would be a list of kinds of activities that would count as sufficiently "patriotic." Faculty assessment in the […]» Read More
Rights in the News: FIRE Stands up for Virginia Tech Faculty
March 27, 2009
As you may have read in The Torch this week, FIRE is leading the charge against requirements at Virginia Tech that tie tenure and promotion to a commitment to "diversity"—requirements that amount to a political loyalty oath for faculty members. Such requirements, as FIRE and others have written, are a serious threat to academic freedom and freedom of conscience. In addition to Adam's coverage of FIRE's efforts at Virginia Tech, Robin Wilson of The Chronicle of Higher Education has written on the growing criticism directed at the guidelines (subscription required). Ashley Thorne at the National Association of Scholars notes FIRE's […]» Read More

Bauerlein writes: This week in The Chronicle, Robin Wilson has a story on the "diversity" factor in tenure and promition guidelines at Virginia Tech. According to the guidelines, the promotion and tenure committee "expects all dossiers to demonstrate the candidate's active involvement in diversity." The Provost at Virginia Tech claims that the guideline does not "require" professors to join diversity activities, but only "encourages" them […]» Read More
Virginia Tech Mandates 'Diversity' for Faculty Promotion, Despite Denial
March 26, 2009
Yesterday FIRE wrote Virginia Tech's president, Charles Steger, calling on him to abandon proposed new guidelines for faculty assessment that would seriously violate faculty members' academic freedom and their constitutional right to freedom of conscience. The proposal would force faculty members in Virginia Tech's College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences to adhere to an ideological loyalty oath to an entirely abstract concept—"diversity"—that can represent vastly different things to different people. Faculty are to be evaluated with "special attention" to the candidate's "involvement in diversity initiatives." If adopted, this requirement will inevitably interfere with faculty members' moral and intellectual freedom […]» Read More

Political Litmus Test for Faculty at Virginia Tech
March 18, 2009
Peter Wood at the National Association of Scholars has drawn attention to a disturbing prospect at Virginia Tech—a requirement that all candidates for tenure and promotion display "active involvement in diversity," threatening the academic freedom and freedom of conscience of Virginia Tech's faculty. This new requirement is reminiscent of FIRE's 2001 case at Bucks County Community College (BCCC), in which BCCC attempted to require applicants for new faculty to "provide a brief statement of your commitment to diversity and how this commitment is demonstrated in your work." Under pressure from FIRE, BCCC dropped the requirement. Of the similar requirement now […]» Read More

By Curry Sports Information
MILTON, Mass. - Curry College exploded for 28 first-quarter points then cruised to a 49-13 victory against visiting MIT to remain unbeaten in 2006. Sophomore Steve DiFabio started the Colonels (6-0, 3-0) power attack with a 33-yard touchdown run just one minute and six seconds into the game.
Sophomore Brain Taylor hauled in a 16-yard pass from sophomore Ryan Van De Giesen to extend the lead to 14-0 with 8:05 remaining in the opening frame. DiFabio, on his second touchdown of the night, scored on a five-yard rush, increasing the lead 21-0 over the Engineers (1-4, 0-3). Van De Giesen tacked on yet another first-quarter score on a one-yard keeper with one second remaining tp put MIT in a msassive early hole.
The second frame didn't see much action from either team until the 6:10 mark when senior Jarrad Jordan found the end zone from two yards out, building Curry's advantage to 35-0 at halftime.
MIT finally dented the scoreboard at 5:36 of the third period as sophomore Rick Mancuso connected with classmate Kevin Vogelsang on a nine-yard scoring play. Just over two minutes later, Colonels' rookie Jon Rodriguez pulled down a 48-yard pass from back-up signal-caller Clay Sisco, stretching Curry's lead to 42-6.
The Engineers closed out their scoring early in the fourth on a two-yard run by sophomore Robert Utz. Curry picked up its final score on a four-yard rush by Ryan McHugh with 36 seconds left on the clock.
Next Saturday, Curry travels to Endicott College for a showdown between undefeated NEFC Boyd Division teams. MIT returns home to face Western New England College.

Mindy McCready's Ex Speaks Out
The latest development in the Mindy McCready saga is that her ex-boyfriend, Billy McKnight — who is also the father of her missing son Zander — spoke with the 'Today' show about McCready's past, their son and his recent communication with both of them. Though there is no warrant out for McCready's arrest, a judge did issue an 'emergency' order on Thursday to have the boy brought back to Florida, regardless of what state he's currently in.
Though McKnight wasn't quick to speak ill of his ex, he did admit when pushed that he doesn't believe she will be a fit mother "until she completes the case plan." Given McCready's past with public drug and alcohol abuse, suicide attempts and a month in jail for violating her probation, McKnight admitted he worries she might hurt herself.
"I pray to God that she doesn't," he said. "It does give me concern. I don't want her to hurt herself, and I certainly don't want my son to live a life without his mother." As for McCready's accusations that her mother has been abusing her 5-year-old son, McKnight sees them as entirely unfounded.
"I've never seen anything that would lead me to believe that at all," he said. McKnight has unsupervised visitation with his son four nights a week, despite being charged in 2005 with attempted murder for assaulting McCready. Because of his own past with drugs and alcohol, McKnight seems hopeful that McCready could have another chance, if only she would do what's right and take it.
"We have gone through this in the past," he said, "and there's people out there that can help you, and if you take that help you can get back on track … I've been through it." McKnight, who spoke with McCready and Zander over the phone and through texts this week, assured the 'Today' show, saying that his son sounded fine.
"I think he misses me," he said. "He's been down here for four years and I haven't seen him in a couple weeks … but he did sound healthy and OK. He wasn't crying or scared."

The final day for local farmers to enroll in the Average Crop Revenue Protection program (ACRE) for the 2013 crop year is June 3, per Randolph County USDA Farm Service Agency Executive Director Eddie McKeown.
The press release sent from the agency notes that "ACRE is a revenue-based safety net, as opposed to the price-based safety net provided by counter-cyclical payments through the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program (DCP)" and that "the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended both the ACRE and DCP programs for the 2013 crop year."
The DCP deadline is Aug. 2.
Provisions for the ACRE program are unchanged from those in 2012, save for those producers who were enrolled in ACRE in 2012 may also enroll in DCP in 2013 or re-enroll in ACRE for 2013, and vice-versa with the 2012 DCP participants.
Those wishing to enroll in ACRE are asked to call 660-263-1169, ext. 2 (McKeown County FSA office) to schedule an appointment before the aforementioned deadline. For more information on the programs, visit the Randolph County FSA Office (2995 County Rd 1325. Moberly), or go to www.fsa.usda.gov.

She points to the players the Rangers have coming up through the system and the ones under contract to wonder where Dubi will fit by the end of his contract.
If Dubinsky plays up to the level that he thinks he can, the players coming through the system will need to find their spots in the lineup around his. Treff covers the prospects and may see some high level guys, Chris Kreider and Christian Thomas, coming that will benefit the Rangers more than Dubinsky. It's up to Dubi to make sure that he is a Ranger for a long time and part of their core.
At the same time, it's four years from now. It's hard to know how any of the team, minus Brad Richards and likely Marc Staal, will look then.

Dealing with a Plugged Duct or Mastitis
Sara Walters
Carmarthen Wales UK
From NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 24 No. 2, March -- April 2007, pp. 76-77
Ouch! The soreness of a lump in the breast can be painful for a nursing mother. It's at times like these that your commitment to breastfeeding your baby can be truly tested, especially when putting your baby to the breast may be the last thing you feel like doing. If the blockage has become infected and turned into mastitis, then it's possible that you may have been told to wean. But is weaning really necessary?
The short answer to this question is, "No, you do not need to wean." In fact, weaning may make the problem even worse. Generally, in the case of a plugged duct or mastitis, there are three steps you can take to help you recover quickly: apply heat, get plenty of rest, and nurse frequently. Plugged ducts happen when the milk duct has become inflamed because the milk is unable to flow through easily. You may notice redness, or feel a tender spot or a sore lump.
What causes plugged ducts?
There are many causes of plugged ducts, including not having your baby well positioned at your breast; too big of a gap between nursing sessions; giving "top-up" bottles after breastfeeding or overusing a pacifier; and wearing a bra that is too tight or other tight clothing. I've even heard of a mother getting a plugged duct after lying on her tummy for a back massage!
What can I do?
Take action promptly. Your best move is to take your baby to bed and stay there for as long as possible. If this isn't possible -- especially if you have other children -- then try to rest as often as you can. Often, a plugged duct is a sign that you are doing too much. It is important to try and lie down for a while and nurse your baby.
Nurse frequently on the affected side. Even during the night, you should try to nurse every couple of hours. It's only by nursing that you will be able to clear the blockage and get the milk to flow freely again. You may have to alter your nursing position -- it helps if you can get your baby's chin pointing toward the plugged duct. This may involve some nursing gymnastics on your part, such as leaning over the baby on your hands and knees and letting your breast hang loose.
Check your baby's position at the breast. He should be on his side facing you without having to turn his head to get a large portion your areola in his mouth.
Apply heat. Take a warm shower, or apply a heating pad or hot water bottle. Gently massaging the area while it is still warm and then nursing your baby or hand expressing some milk immediately afterward will help to clear the blockage.
Take off your bra. Your bra may be a cause of the problem.
What should I do if I get mastitis?
Mastitis is another name for a breast infection, and this happens when the plugged duct doesn't clear and gets infected. You will know that you have mastitis because in addition to the symptoms of a plugged duct, you will also feel ill with a fever, or flu-like symptoms.
Treat mastitis as you would a plugged duct. Remember that it is perfectly safe to nurse your baby. Antibodies in your milk will protect your baby from any infection. Suggestions that you wean from the infected side may make matters worse. (See "Breast Abscess and Breast Lumps"). Frequent nursing will help the infection clear up more quickly. And again, take yourself off to bed. You're ill, and it's where you need to be!
If the fever persists, or you continue to feel ill, then you may want to contact your doctor, who will probably prescribe antibiotics. Many antibiotics are compatible with breastfeeding, so make sure that your doctor prescribes one that is. You should also complete the course of tablets even if you feel better before you have finished. It is important to continue to nurse frequently and rest.
If an infection reoccurs shortly afterwards, it is a sign that the original infection did not clear up. If you find that you frequently suffer from plugged ducts or mastitis, talking with a La Leche League Leader may help you pinpoint the source of the problem.
Breast Abscess and Breast Lumps
A breast abscess is very unusual, but it can occur if mastitis is not treated quickly or correctly. It is a very painful, localized infection containing pus and must be treated immediately. This is done by surgically draining or aspirating the breast. You can continue to nurse on the unaffected side, and may even nurse on the affected side, especially if the abscess was treated by needle aspiration. If, however, the abscess was surgically drained, it may be painful to nurse, especially if the incision is close to the areola. If this is the case, then you may need to hand-express for a day or two. Keeping the breast empty will help the breast to heal.
Most women worry when they discover a breast lump, and obviously breasts feel very different when a woman is lactating. However, if you discover a lump that does not go away after a week, even after careful treatment of a plugged duct, you should consider consulting with your doctor. In many cases, breast lumps are benign tumors (fibromas) or milk-filled cysts (galactoceles), all of which can be diagnosed and treated while you continue to breastfeed. It is very rare that a lump is a sign of cancer. But be sure to consult your doctor if the lump continues to grow, does not move, is firm and hard, or there is dimpling of the skin.

Shipwreck expert doesn't believe official narrative
Paul Joseph Watson
Wednesday, May 2, 2012
A California treasure hunter who believes he has located the spot where the U.S. Navy allegedly dumped the body of Osama Bin Laden says he wants to try and discover the corpse and subject it to DNA testing because he doesn't believe the Obama administration's official story about the death of the Al-Qaeda leader.
Fearing the U.S. government could target him for assassination if he tries to recover the cadaver, shipwreck expert Bill Warren told Spanish newspaper El Mundo that he has pinpointed the site where Bin Laden's body was ejected by using recently released US Navy photos.
"His thought is that, since the Navy weighted down the bag, the body hasn't moved from where it was dropped. He is now trying to rent Russian deep diving equipment to locate his payload, and to conduct DNA tests once he finds him," reports Gizmodo.
Warren believes that once he begins the mission in early June he could locate the body in under a week, and that the search would take a maximum of three months. Warren needs $200,000 dollars to fund the operation, but "his only fear is that the US Government would kill him or sink his boat."
The Gizmodo headline accompanying the story, This Treasure Hunter Says He Has Located Bin Laden's Body, is somewhat misleading given that Warren's primary motivation for finding the corpse is his belief that the Obama administration lied about the circumstances surrounding Bin Laden's death and that whatever the Navy dumped overboard may not be Osama's body at all.
Deep within the article we learn Warren's true purpose in embarking on the expensive task of recovering the cadaver for DNA testing.
"Warren says he is doing this because he doesn't "believe the Obama administration" and he wants to have proof that it is really his body."
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
It sounds like Warren has been busy reading Infowars.com or listening to the Alex Jones Show.
The alleged body of Bin Laden was hastily dumped in the sea to prevent any proper procedure of identification. The White House claimed this was in accordance with normal Islamic burial rituals, however numerous Muslim scholars all over the globe disputed this claim, pointing out that Muslims can only be buried at sea if they die at sea. While the White House claimed that Bin Laden's death was proven by DNA and facial recognition evidence, such proof was never released for public scrutiny and the Obama administration refused to release photos of Bin Laden's dead body, suggesting a cover-up.
As we documented at the time of the dubious Bin Laden killing, which Barack Obama has hastily exploited for election propaganda as if he personally pulled the trigger, a plethora of evidence suggests that the whole event was stage-managed. The official narrative of the Bin Laden raid collapsed completely within days of its announcement.
Before the alleged assassination, every intelligence analyst, geopolitical commentator or head of state worth their salt was on record as stating that Osama Bin Laden was already dead, and that he probably died many years ago, from veteran CIA officer Robert Baer, to former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, to former FBI head of counterterrorism Dale Watson.

International Standards and Conformity Assessment for all electrical, electronic and related technologies
TC 56 Scope
To prepare international standards in the field of dependability, in all appropriate technological areas, including those not normally dealt with by IEC Technical Committees. Dependability covers the availability performance and its influencing factors: reliability performance, maintainability performance and maintenance support performance (including management of obsolescence). The standards provide systematic methods and tools for the dependability assessment and management of equipment, services and systems throughout their life cycles.The standards cover generic aspects on reliability and maintainability programme management, testing and analytical techniques, software and system dependability, life cycle costing, technical risk analysis and project risk management. This includes standards related to product issues from component reliability to guidance for engineering dependability of systems, standards related to process issues from technological risk analysis to integrated logistics support and standards related to management issues from dependability program management to managing for obsolescence.The application of these standards may raise safety related issues, though the standards themselves do not cover safety. They may be applied to business risk analysis but these risk areas are not dealt with by TC 56.

. Does anybody really believe those numbers? I find it hard to believe that the Cubs are making more money than the Yankees, Red Sox and either LA team. Needless to say, anybody who thinks the White Sox are not making money in Chicago is misreading the situation. With the stadium and TV contracts the White Sox have, it does look like the White Sox are making some serious money in Chicago.
It might be true considering the Cubs attract 3M fans without paying the salaries required to win consistently like the Yankees do. When an organization's biggest assets are the ballpark and losing mystique, it's pretty easy to build a success business model.

Duke, there 2 museums in the town of Granville. We did'nt get a chance to check them out, but there were alot of people walking up to them. Duke, I strongly recommend going there for your ann.. It is just a gorgeous town. Stay at the Buxton Inn!! The people there are so friendly and kind. The food is great also. Whatever you do, don't go across the street to eat. Very very expensive. The prices are moderate to stay at the Inn. They don't raise there rates during the peak season. I can't remember what suite we stayed in, but the room sure was ugly. The best part was IT's HAUNTED! I think they called it the Rasberry room. Julie would know. It has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is very nice. Dave
Sounds cool Dave. Can't wait to see it. If you guys know any cool stuff (tours museums etc.) to do down there, let me know. I'm not finding a whole lot on the internet. Thanks.

Did you and Julie ever post the video of the apparition you filmed at the Buxton Inn? I'd love to see it.

Well Dave made reservations today, while we did ask for the Raspberry Suite again that we had last time, it was not availible, BUT room number 7 was YIPEE!!!!! Between 9 and 7 are suppose to be the most haunted rooms!!
Oh, room 7 - you'll love it! I stayed in room 7 this spring. I wasn't able to do much hardcore ghosthunting as it was an anniversary celebration and my hubby has no interest in paranormal research. The silly man thought I should be paying attention to him instead! However, I did get one photo with a few light anamolies over the alcove bed, where I also kept getting dizzy. I had some experiential things happen, like smelling a strong sweet perfume by the desk, and feeling and hearing a cat purring beside my feet in the middle of the night. I also picked up on some strong psychic impressions in the oldest dining room and in the alcove. My sense is that a female traveler took ill and died in the alcove of room 7 sometime in the early years, maybe the 1820's or so.
The pioneer cemetery is likewise very cool. It's right by the main drag into town, though, so it's generally too noisy to get evps.

LAURIE, That would not be a problem! We will be using both 35mm and digital cameras. Evp will also be taken, which I prefer over pics, because there is no maxtrixing or some other ridiculous reason why it is not paranormal. The voices by spirits is what you hear and what you get!! Dave
~Just 3 words, Julie & Dave...pics, pics, pics!!!!! I just can't wait to hear and see of what happened when you guys go!!! Happy Hunting!!!!!! <--did I mention I can't wait to see the pics??

This week brings a longer list than usual, with some terms I've never seen with my blog before.
st cloud mn 1979 (3 searches)
Well, I've certainly mentioned St. Cloud, Minnesota on several occasions. I'm not sure why the 1979 connection is there. Did you find what you were looking for, anonymous searcher?
vikings logo (3 searches)
Really? I guess I might have mentioned the Minnesota Vikings at some point, but I don't recall discussing their logo.
geo spectrum (2 searches)
Who keeps searching for this ancient car?
military cloud computing diagrams (2 searches)
Hm. This is a bit more interesting. I've discussed Cloud Computing, and I've mentioned both my and other family members' military service, but I've never put that all together like this. I'm betting that whoever made this search didn't find what they were looking for on my blog.
"steve morse" 1940 census
Well, at least this one appears to be genealogy-related! Unfortunately, the 1940 census is not yet available, and I have no idea who Steve Morse is, or was.
1917 ration book
This one could also be genealogy-related, or maybe just historical interest. I posted images of several ration books. Mine were from World War II, not World War I, so whoever made this search didn't find what they were looking for on my site.
busing routes in st. cloud mn
Seriously? I get the St. Cloud connection, as I've said before, but what kind of poorly constructed search would bring this query to MY blog, or how many pages down the list of hits did you have to go to find this page?
database arlington national cemetery
Ah! I did mention the teenager who is digitizing graves in Arlington, earlier this year. Hopefully the searcher got at least something worthwhile from my post, if only a pointer to another source with more information.
Did you intend to run the words together? Are the results significantly different than with the space between them? Were you looking for specific examples, or were mine enough to show you what a funeral card is?
george bush genealogy
Well, there's the genealogy link, and I did just mention George Bush in a recent post, but I think that they must have been disappointed by where they landed on my blog. I don't have anything connected to George Bush's genealogy. Sorry!
That's it for this time, a longer list, but more frustrating as none of them even hint at a connection. I'm beginning to despair of any cousins out there ever finding me...
