A 37-year-old Woodford County man faces 21 counts of possessing child pornography following an extensive investigation and a search of his home. After the state's attorney requested to deny pre-trial release, a judge, citing the Pretrial Fairness Act, ruled the defendant could not be detained but imposed strict conditions, including no internet access and no contact with minors. On the House floor in Springfield, Representative Dennis Tipsword criticized the system, questioning who would enforce these restrictions. Tipsword argued that blame lies with lawmakers themselves, not with police, attorneys, or judges, pointing to legislative responsibility for the outcomes. Today on the House floor in Springfield, State Representative Dennis Tipsword (R-Metamora) asked “Who is going to enforce these ridiculous conditions?”  He went on to say that it is not the police officers' fault, it's not the state's attorney's fault, and it's not the judge's fault.  He said, “Look around this chamber…it is our fault.”

fWotD Episode 2825: Lewis W. Green Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 28 January 2025 is Lewis W. Green.Lewis Warner Green (January 28, 1806 – May 26, 1863) was an American Presbyterian minister, educator, and academic administrator. He was the president of Hampden–Sydney College, Transylvania University, and Centre College for various periods between 1849 and 1863. Born in Danville, Kentucky, baptized in Versailles, and educated in Woodford County, Green enrolled at Transylvania University but transferred to Centre College to complete his education. He graduated in 1824 as one of two members of the school's first graduating class. He enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1831 but returned to Kentucky in 1832 before graduating. After one year as a professor at Hanover College, he returned to Centre in 1839. He left again the next year for a position at Western Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, where he spent six years. He then went to Baltimore to preach full-time, though he resigned after just over a year and a half due to poor health.Green was elected president of Hampden–Sydney College in January 1849. He was recruited by numerous other institutions after his eight-year term. Among these institutions was Transylvania, which recruited him to their presidency shortly following the establishment of a normal school by the Kentucky General Assembly. The bill that created the normal school was repealed after a year and a half and he resigned in late 1857. Green was elected president of Centre College that year and entered office in January 1858. After leading the school through the start of the Civil War, he died in office in 1863 from an illness which he caught after helping wounded soldiers. He was buried in Danville's Bellevue Cemetery. He was a member of the Stevenson political family through the marriage of his daughter; as a result, he was the father-in-law of vice president Adlai Stevenson I, the great-grandfather of Illinois governor Adlai Stevenson II, and the great-great-grandfather of senator Adlai Stevenson III.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Tuesday, 28 January 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Lewis W.

His publications include four theatre histories, four poetry chapbooks; his plays; Regarding Mrs. Carter, Naked on Request, **Four Squares: a Kentucky Quilt, and Expiation,; as well as two memoirs, On Stage with Bette Davis and Bad Sex in Kentucky.  After forty-seven years in Manhattan, he returned to live and write in Kentucky.  Kevin's essays peeking behind the curtain for the Lexington Theatre Company have appeared online, and he has worked on several radio dramas for the much-lamented Athens/West Company. He writes for hours every day, most often in Lexington's coffee shops, although he has never had a cup of coffee in his life.   His work attempts to keep time with his Kentucky heritage, his love of family, his LGBTQ identity, and his own erratic pulse.**A play in one act and four voices. Four monologues exploring Kentucky sounds in the heart and on the fringes of the LGBTQ communityWhen Mrs. August Belmont died in 1979, just before her 100th birthday, she was remembered as a philanthropist and advocate for the arts, especially the Metropolitan Opera--but before her triumphs as Mrs. Belmont, she had dignified the American stage for 13 glorious years as Eleanor Robson, actress. Her splendid voice, understated style, and always-evident intelligence thrilled legions of theatregoers and enthralled the best playwrights of her time, including Israel Zangwill, Clyde Fitch, and George Bernard Shaw.Despite the brevity of her career, Eleanor Robson stands as a prototype for many actresses who followed her--women who sought to control their own careers and demanded artistic respect and freedom, and who, by the twenty-first century, would confidently call themselves not actresses, but actors. This is the first book-length biography of her, focusing especially on her theatrical career.
