WordPress, the most popular content management system on the planet just received a major update with huge security features.

One approach for dealing with CSS3 vendor prefixes is to use tools that generate CSS rules for you from unprefixed CSS3 properties. That allows you, the developer, to blissfully imagine that prefixes never existed, by shielding you from those evil little monsters. In today's article, Rob Gravelle describes several such tools, namely CSS3 Please!, Prefixr, -prefix-free, and CSSPrefixer.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of medicine,” says Psychology Associate Professor Jason Schiffman when describing treatment of psychosis.

Schiffman is a staff member at the new “Center for Excellence on Early Intervention for Serious Mental Illness.” The center’s mission is to identify young people with psychosis or at risk for the specific symptom that makes violence more likely. The program aims to get them into immediate treatment and to provide support.

In an interview Monday on WYPR’s Maryland Morning, Schiffman outlined how early treatment of people with psychosis or showing signs of developing it is critical in getting those individuals on a path towards leading a life they want to live.

“The field has really moved towards understanding that the earlier we intervene, the better the life trajectory of individuals on a route with these symptoms or on a journey having these experiences,” Schiffman said.

He also described how the new center will focus on collaborative work to provide the best possible treatment and support.

Public Policy and Political Science Professor George La Noue suggests transferring or closing academic programs will not integrate Maryland’s historically black colleges in an op-ed in The Baltimore Sun.

The op-ed was written in response to a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Blake earlier this month in the case Coalition for Educational Equity and Excellence v. Maryland Higher Education Commission.

Part of the ruling considered closing, transferring, or merging academic programs that were seen as duplicative from traditionally white institutions (TWIs) to historically black institutions (HBIs). In his op-ed, La Noue argues this raises many questions:

Would faculty, research infrastructure and library resources be transferred as well?  Would faculty recruited to an institution, whose black and white students have average  SAT scores well above 1200, work well in institutions with many students requiring extensive remedial work? Would these faculty remain competitive for national research awards?
