N M Tech Professors Co-Author Chapters in Rio Chagres Book, July 13, 2005
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., July 13, 2005 – A hydrologist and geologist at New Mexico Tech are co-authors of several chapters included in a newly published book that focuses on one of the most important and complex tropical rainforest regions in the world — the greater Panama Canal Watershed.
"The Rio Chagres, Panama — A Multidisciplinary Profile of a Tropical Watershed," published by Springer, Inc., includes four chapters co-written by Jan Hendrickx, professor of hydrology at New Mexico Tech, and Bruce Harrison, associate professor of environmental geology at the research university. The geoscientists were part of an international team of researchers and scientists who contributed to this latest volume in Springer's "Water Science and Technology Library Series."
According to Springer's description of The Rio Chagres, Panama, the broad objective of the 354-page hardbound book is to characterize and understand the physical and ecological components and natural interactions of an isolated and largely pristine tropical rainforest.
For the past five years, Hendrickx and Harrison have been investigating the hydrologic properties of soils typically found along the dense tropical forest that abuts the length of the Panama Canal.
The Rio Chagres and its tributaries have long played a critical role in Panama's history, up to watershed's current international importance as the major supplier of the millions of gallons a day needed to operate the Panama Canal's lake and lock systems and provide hydro-electric power to open and close the locks. In addition, the watershed serves as the primary source of potable water for municipal use in Panama City and nearby communities.

Protest Leads Army to Reconsider Big Contract
Wednesday, October 31, 2007
One of the biggest military contracts to house, feed and provide other services to U.S. military troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait may be canceled and renegotiated after the Government Accountability Office said yesterday that it upheld a protest from two teams that lost the bid.
The $150 billion contract, known as the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program, or LOGCAP IV, spans 10 years and was awarded in June to three companies -- Fluor Intercontinental of Greenville, S.C., DynCorp International of Fort Worth and KBR of Houston.
Two losing teams, Contingency Management Group and IAP Worldwide Services, filed protests in July questioning the award of the contract. Both teams alleged that the bids were evaluated improperly by the Army Sustainment Command and "argued that the agency's evaluation of proposals was unreasonable," according to a statement released by the GAO.
The GAO agreed, saying it found problems with how Fluor and KBR were evaluated in various areas.
"We found that the Army violated procurement law or regulations to the detriment of the protesting companies," said Dan Gordon, a lawyer for the GAO. "Those two companies might have had a chance of winning the LOGCAP contract if the Army had acted properly."
Gordon said the GAO has recommended that the bidding process not start over entirely with new bidders, but rather that the Army "go back to the stage of negotiations. . . . We're recommending they reopen discussions and then request revised proposals from all companies and evaluate those proposals and then make a new decision of who should get the contract. The question is whether it is going to be the same three winners."
The lucrative contract is considered one of the biggest deals in the contracting services industry. It has ballooned in value from $2 billion when it was first awarded in 1992 to $23 billion under the most recent LOGCAP III contract.
KBR, the former contracting arm of Halliburton, won the current logistics contract in 2001.
Since then the contract has come under scrutiny by members of Congress, who alleged that KBR won because Vice President Cheney had been Halliburton's chief executive.
Government auditors turned up more than $1 billion in questionable costs, pushing the Army to make a change in how it awarded the contract. Instead of going to one company, the Army awarded the contract to three. Each company's part of the contract is worth up to $5 billion a year and can be extended for up to nine more years.
In the LOGCAP IV contract, the bids were judged on past performance, management, technical capabilities and cost.
The GAO said the Army's evaluation of Fluor's technical proposal was "unreasonable and evidenced unequal treatment." In KBR's case, the GAO said, the Army "misunderstood" part of the company's technical proposal, and it accused the Army of failing to evaluate comments the Defense Contract Audit Agency had made concerning KBR's business systems. The two-page statement released by the GAO made no comment on DynCorp.
Contingency Management Group's team is made up of AECOM Government Services, the Shaw Group and PAE Government Services. IAP is the lead contractor on its team, which includes Blackwater Worldwide, CACI and Lockheed Martin.
Heather Browne, a spokeswoman for KBR, said the company was "disappointed with the GAO's decision" and believed it had provided "unmatched" service to U.S. troops. KBR has requested that the GAO reconsider its decision.

In an age of photography that falls so heavily upon who has the best chops at Photoshop, or who has the most money to buy this 200-megapixel monster, Rusnock hunkers down with his 35mm rolls and rocks out on formal arrangements and the intrigues of everyday life. In the post below, I've done my best to retain the notion of relational precision he hunts after daily, but for a better sense of his arrangements, see here and more generally here. He doesn't just stop at photos, oh no, he can make a mean video, drawing, sound, or sculpture, and one of his latest series explores the medium of sequential art (no doubt stemming from his love of comics). Rock on.

American Historical Society
Gives Dr. Wik Highest Award
The large universities of our country are not the only ones that
can boast of having men of outstanding scholarship on their faculty.
The scholarship of Dr. Reynold Wik, of our History Department has
been crowned with the Albert J. Beveridge Memorial Fellowship Award
given by the American Historical Society.
The Albert J. Beveridge Award is made annually by the American
Historical Society to any North American historian for the best original
manuscript in the field of American history. The award is the highest
one given by the Society and consists of fifteen hundred dollars cash
plus the publication of the manuscript by the University of Pennsyl-vania
Press in the Beveridge Memorial Historical Series, with certain
royalty rights.
Dr. Wik was presented with the
award for his . manuscript on
"Steam Power on the American
Farm", at the annual banquet. of
the Society given on December the
29th at the Stevens Hotel in Chi-cago.
Present at this occasion were
650 guests among which were
some of the outstanding historians
in the country.
Dr. Wik obtained his Bachelor
of Arts degree from Sioux Falls
College and his Master of Arts and
Doctor of Philosophy degrees from
the University of Minnesota. His
winning manuscript, a result of
three years of research work and
writing, was his thesis for the
Doctor's degree awarded him last
The part of the award that pleas-ed
Dr. Wik the most was not the
money, but the "privilege of hav-ing
the manuscript published". He
expressed that part of the award
lies in the "acute gratitude that
comes toward those who showed
interest in making this experience
possible. Dr. Wik named his par-ents,
his wife, Dean Carlson, and
many other friends, as being from
whom he received encouragement
in completing his task.
As a student body we wish to
extend our congratulations to Dr.
Wik. We are proud of his achieve-ment
and want to thank him for
his part in helping to make Bethel
a campus of Christian scholarship.
Hamburg Students
Soon To Receive
Boxes from Drive
Winter clothing, the result of
Bethel's clothinW drive for Ger-many,
filled 14 large cardboard
boxes to capacity and began its
long journey to Hamburg over a
month ago with Chicago scheduled
as it's first stop. World Relief
workers agreed to bail the clothing
there and prepare it for compact
over-seas shipment.
The clothing will proceed to
Hamburg from America's East
coast. Bethelites responded readi-ly
when the drive was launched by
the school's Religious Council dur-ing
the first quarter of the school
year. Several local Conference
churches also contributed gar-ments.
The collection was made
primarily to relieve the situation
students of the Baptist Seminary at
Hamburg found themselves facing
with the coming of winter weather
and an insufficient amount of
warm clothing. Mr. Kenneth Nor
quist, representing the conference
in Germany, will take charge of
distributing the clothing.

Four Bethel debate teams will
enter tomorrow's debate tourna-ment
at River Falls Teachers Col-lege.
The tournament is open to
all debaters who have not debated
five regular inter-collegiate debat-es.
Three debate teams engaged in
a round of practice debates with
Hamline University on Thursday,
January 11. The teams debated the
regular inter-collegiate question:
Resolved; that the non-communist
nations should form a new inter-national

Mrs. Anderson
7:00 P. M. Bjork Berg Anderson Frykenberg Lindberg
Pictured on this page, the five speakers of the week will bring to
campus the impact of five lives in which missions is the major emphasis.
The above schedule indicates the times when each may be heard
throughout the week.
Rev. Sten Lindberg returned to the United States this fall to take
the office of acting foreign missionary secretary of the General Confer-ence
during a leave of absence granted Secretary Walfred Danielson.
He has done his major missionary work in China. Rev Dale Bjork has
been in China since 1947 and only recently returned to the States. Dr.
Eric Frykenberg has labored 15 years in South India and Rev. Bengt
Anderson has had the Semi-Naga tribe as his charge in that country.
Rev. August Berg has served among the primitive Santal people in
Bengal-Orissa India since 1926.
Seeking to demonstrate that
missionary information gained dur-ing
the week can be immediately
put to use at the home base, Mis-sionary
Band members will erect a
display in the library under the
direction of Bill Murray, Seminary
senior. The display will show mis-sionary
information applied to
local church situations through
Sunday School materials, and other
possibilities along that line.
Missionary Band, active in get
ting Missionary Emphasis Week
underway, is assised each year by
the faculty and strongly supported
in its work by the Religious Coun-cil
of Bethel.
"If the equivalent of 78 cents
per student is turned in to the
Band's treasury Friday, Missionary
Band on behalf of the students of
Bethel will be able to present Rev.
Sten Lindberg with a check for
$1500 Monday to be used in Con-ference
missionary work," May-nard
Johnson, Missionary Band
president, stated recently. It will
be necessary for Missionary Band
to cut the student gift to $1,000 if
the additional money does not
come in by Friday, he said.

Editorial .. .
"Lateities", commonly known as getting
to class late, and "talkities", excessive and
undue talking after the starting bell has
rung, are two diseases that afflict in vary-ing
degrees many Bethel students. The
complaint is that classes are disturbed by
chronic latecomers and that time is wast-ed
by the disrespect shown fellow-students
as well as the instructor, who has to out-shout
the class, sit quietly waiting, or sug-gest
that prayer be offered, in order to
obtain the attention of the class.
The purpose of this article is to bring
this problem to the attention of all stu-dents
in the hope that the students will
give the problem thought, make observa-tions,
and diagnose their own case, which
might lead to the elimination of these dis-eases.
The germ of these diseases is Careless-ness.
Why should we be careless about
promptness and respect for others which
should characterize a Student, to say noth-ing
of a Christian student. Perhaps the
remedy is self-discipline and re-evaluation
of the place respect for others should have
in academic life.
Bethel, as well as all schools, ought to
be a place where the student learns self-discipline
and respect for others. This
might be done by enforcement of rules,
but it is far better that it be done because
it is the precedent set by the students
themselves out of growth as a Christian.
All of us should cooperate at least to the
extent of being honest with ourselves in
diagnosing our case, and then if need be,
take steps to remedy the disease in our-selves.
Then, let's help others get rid of
the disease, which is best done by simply
being an example.
Won't You Give Too?
Are you stingy? Of course not, you say!
Maybe so, but let's define a stingy person.
Isn't it one who keeps something he doesn't
really need, when this little something
could help another person if he had it?
Sounds like a puzzle, doesn't it? But there
are many of us, in the perfect health
which God has given us, who refuse to
give even a pint of our blood so others
may live. Now how do you classify your-self?
Some have volunteered already, but
many more are needed. Each has his own
ideas for giving or not giving blood, but
let's listen to a few of the reasons from
some who have already signed up.
Kenny Gullman: "Once, while at the Red
Cross Blood Bank in St. Paul, I asked the
worker there how the college students
were responding to the call to donate
blood. He told me that a mobile unit was
sent to the colleges that wanted it. He
mentioned Macalester, Hamline, and St.
Thomas, but not Bethel. On the way home,
I was thinking of how easy it is to live
in our own little world at Bethel, and
forget the needs of others. As Christians,
we should do as much, if not more, than
the world does to help those in need."
Irene Kley: "Refusing to give blood is
like refusing to hand a dying person a pill
which would save his life. For giving blood,
a great medicine, causes me no hardship,
but preserves the life of him who receives
Professor Larson:: "It is no sacrifice or
inconvenience to me but is a tremendous
help to others. My little boy was saved by
blood transfusions. It is easily done, there
are no effects, and it is really a small
thing for such a big cause."
Ruth Chisholm: "Knowing the urgency
of the need -for blood, I feel that as a
Christian, it is my duty to give my blood.
As Christ shed His blood to save my life,
so I give my blood to save someone else's
For many years, the sight or thought of
blood has carried with it the connotation
of tragedy or death. However, to the Christ-ian
the thought of blood, Christ's blood
carries with it the connotation of life.
abundant life. In another way now in this
day and age, blood can and is thought of
as life-giving. It was a familiar sight dur-ing
combat during the last war and I ima-gine
that it is the same now in Korea, to
see a jeep go by carrying wounded with
a corpsman or a medic administering blood
plasma to the unfortunate men lying on
the stretchers.' If you would look into the
records of hospitals over our land you
would find there undoubtedly the import-ant
part that blood has played in saving
lives of men, women, and children, who
were suffering from disease, wounds as a
result from accidents, and other things.
The blood used at times was usually given,
but in some cases had to be purchased by
the patients.
Now the American Red Cross National
Blood Program is making possible for each
person between the ages of 18 and 60 to
Why did I have to be born into a world
of such utter confusion? The first ten
years of my life I knew nothing but the
dictatorial, tyrannical reign of Hitler and
his Nazi Party. There was none greater or
better than our Fuehrer. I could never
understand why my parents avoided all
possible contact with Nazis. It was all so
strange and confusing. Then came the day
Dad sailed to America. -
Ten months later my mother, brother and
I followed, fleeing for our lives before
Nazi persecution. Halfway out in the Eng-lish
Channel word came to stop the boat.
The Nazis were marching into Austria. The
fear which gripped the hearts of the pas-sengers
in the next few hours cannot be
told. Would we have to turn back and be
put in concentration camps or would we
be allowed to go on? We went on, but
life looked so dark an dismal.
At last came that happy hour when we
sailed into New York Harbor and passed
the Statue of Liberty. As the sun was set-ting
on another day the light in the torch
went on, to us a symbol of new light in
a new world.
This new world was strange indeed with
its skyscrapers, elevateds, and strangest of
all, its abundance of oranges! In Germany

Breaking . into business buying parts for
a Model T Ford and working up to district
manager of a national corporation con-stitutes
the ideal American success story
and the testimony of Mr. Harold Lidbom,
Bethel's director of Christian Activties.
A stockroom job with Gambles, Inc., re-sulted
from numerous contacts with a local
salesman of the corporation in Marquette,
Michigan, from whom he bought parts to
keep the Ford running while Mr. Lidbom
attended Northern State Teachers College.
After three and a half years experience
in the Marquette store, Mr. Lidbom was
appointed manager of Gambles in Atlantic,
Iowa and later transferred to a new cor-poration
store in Des Moines,
After seven and one half years on in-creasing
success in business, managing the
store with the largest sales record in the
organization, Mr. Lidbom was made district
supervisor over twenty-four local stores in
Iowa and later in Northern Michigan, Wis-consin
and Minnesota.
Then, like the disciples called to be
"fishers of men", Harold Lidbom received
a call from the Lord whom he had made
his business partner throughout his career,
to leave a highly remunerative position and
to be a "salesman for God".
donate a pint of blood to be used free
of charge for those needing it, except the
charge by the hospital or physician for
administering it. Blood collected in the
community will be used there as whole
blood or plasma.
Surplus blood will be sent to other areas
where it is needed such as emergency
areas in this country and to our fighting
forces on foreign soil.
Christ said, "Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me." Certainly, the
giving of a pint of blood to this great
program is a wonderful opportunity of
Christian service. We are giving it to some
unfortunate person who is in dire need of
it. We can give this blood as unto
Lord because of our love for Him, and
will be fulfilling the words He spoke.
If God so lays it on your heart be sure
to respond on January26, by taking 45
minutes to go over to the Boys Dormitory
and giving some of your blood, "As unto
the Lord."
I had had only one orange and that was
purchased from a florist.
As soon as we were safely established
here my parents were free to tell me the
truth about the Nazi regime. Until then
I had never been fully aware of the fact
that Dad is of the Hebrew race and so in
part am I. Now I began to realize the
bitterness and irony of being trained to
be a Nazi. They firmly stood against mem-bers
of God's chosen race. Their swastika
stood as the very symbol of anti-Semitism.
During our early years in America I
heard the Gospel for the first time but be-cause
of contrary teachings at home never
accepted its plan of salvation. Oh, the
emptiness of the years that followed! The
pleasures of the world were no strangers
to me.
Again God saw fit that I should hear the
Gospel. A year later, utterly miserable, by
His grace I received faith to believe. Joy
and peace at last were mine. Indeed what
a privilege it is to be not only a child
of the King but also a child of Israel. God
has led me through a world of confusion,
first to Himself and now here to prepare
for His service.
"I sought the Lord and He delivered me
out of all my fears." Psalms 34:4.
Assisting Rev. Ed Nelson in laying the
ground work for God's Invasion Army in
1948, Mr. and Mrs. Lidbom worked as co-directors
in the Army, handling the busi-ness
end of the Army program, as well as
enlisting for 1949 and re-enlisting for 1950
as visitation evangelists, holding meetings,
calling in homes and witnessing to business
men of the Lord whom they loved and
served, and being "Mom" and "Pop" to
all the Army recruits.
In the summer of 1950, Mr. Lidbom was
asked to come to Bethel as Christian Acti-vities
director and head resident of the
men's dormitory. Still "Pop" Lidbom, he
has organized and supervised gospel team
work and is launching a wider field of
activities in student employment from the
campus, having placed over three hundred
students in part-time work this year.
Beloved at Bethel as the man who never
loses his smile, "Pop" Lidbom deserves
every word of the commendation given his
vital Christian testimony by the president
of the Gamble Corporation, "There are
many people who talk a great deal about
doing good, but few people in this world
have the courage to take the action you
are taking."

As we turn into another year and into
another half century, we stand as it were
on tiptoe looking ahead. It's a wonderful
thing to have eyes. .
Some people are blind and some are

had more yesterdays than others, but for
all of us those days have been crowded
with the Grace of God. And each must
well confess "that nothing I have which
I did not receive."
But the fewer the yesterdays, the more
we strive on tiptoe to look ahead. "Sweet
Sixteen" is not sweet enough and so we
yearn for eighteen, and for more. Samuel
Johnson thought that almost the greatest
poetic lines were those of Pope, when he
speaks of "hill upon hill arising farther
still no matter how one climbs." Life is
rich with 'future and with longing.
"Where leads the road across the hill?
I do not know, I do not know.
I only know I want to go—
I want to go."
And so our eyes are in our forehead so
that we may see the steps we climb—at
least a little way. However, eyes without
light are hopelessly dark, but God has
provided sun and moon and stars to guide
the traveler on.
They tell us that travelers of long, long
ago who journeyed through starless nights,
would have a small lamp attached to the
foot so that they might see at least a step
at a time.
And that reminds us, when we think of
spiritual life, of the words of the psalmist
who speaks of "the Word as a lamp unto
my feet and a light unto my pathway." We
need that in a world of spiritual darkness.
Physical light, and even intellectual light,
does not suffice.
"Not of the sunlight, not of the moon-light,
not of the starlight, but a light that
never yet was seen on sea or land"—we
need. And we seek and we find it in Him,
Who said: "I am this dark world's light."
May He flood our minds and our hearts
in the year ahead.
Does It Count?
by Henry Nelson
It is an interesting scene to see scores
of students busy working in the library.
As you look from one to another you can
see they simply are captivated by the
books which they are reading or are en-tirely
bored with the situation. Many must
be given for credit for the determination
with which they begin, but many are lost
by the wayside due to the inability to
cope with the situation.
The attitude of mind with which we en-deavor
to accumulate facts will largely
determine the net results. It is useless to
tackle a problem with a mediocre attitude
and expect great results. That is compar-able
to going fishing with a hook on
the end of the line and expecting to get
a bite. Someone has said that the accumula-tion
of knowledge is 99% presperation and
1% inspiration. In almost every field of en-deavorment,
this fact is true.
The net results of this atitude of mind
will largely determine the future course
of life. It is foolish to think that anyone
will receive and maintain a position for
which he or she is not fully equipped or
qualified. This is true in the business
world and can be illustrated by many ex-periences.
Such as the first question asked
on a questionaire given by a great banking
concern—"Are you a college graduate?" It
it is legitimate for the world to demand
such high standards, then the student pre-paring
for Christian service should be eq-ually
qualified. This will demand of us a
conscious attitude of mind, centered in the
direction of the goal of Christ, an motivat-ed
by the need which exists in the world.
In the many hours which have been spent
within the library, can we truthfully say
that they have been spent with the correct
attitude of mind: Disciplining ourselves
in this activity now will enable us to be
of greater use to the Lord. Let's make the
hours in the library count for Him.

IVAR Meet the Blood Mobile MAN OF GOD — MR
Infirmary Available As
Health Program Expands
Up until this school year the campus health service available to
students was a dispensary where minor medications were made under
the direction of a trained nurse. These facilities were realized to be
inadequate and the school administration set up a Health Service
Committee under the direction of Mr. Elving Anderson, to take definite
steps in presenting better health service to the students.
As stated by Mr. Anderson, the primary purpose of the health
service is to prevent the spread of disease. The biggest benefit of the
health service then is one that is least recognizable, namely, to pre-vent
the student from getting someone else's disease, from contracting
a disease, or from the danger of the disease from becoming serious.
Everyone in school benefits in this way then, whether on campus or
off campus, whether you have health insurance or not, or whether you
have a local doctor or not.
This year an Infirmary was added to the dispensary where patients
can be hospitalized for two days per quarter without expense except
for meals. After two days a fee of one dollar per day is charged the
patient. Since the opening of school not over twenty dollars has been
charged extra.
The health service also pays the expense of Tuberculosis X-rays for
the students. Just this past week flu shots were made available to each
student, which was a part of the health service.
The health program is not yet complete. An attempt has been
made to have a doctor on the campus during certain hours of the
week for consultation and to examine patients. This will help carry
out another purpose of the health service which is to offer health edu-cation
in matters of personal hygiene and consultation concerning
health problems.
At the beginning of the school year the Health Service Committee
realized that the program would need revision and addition. They
are facing each problem as it arises. Student opinion and suggestion
is a source of aid in directing the program to meet the student needs.
At a meeting of the Health Service Committee last January 4th,
revisions and additions were made. Use of the infirmary was extended
to two days per quarter without cost instead of one day per quarter.
Until a physician is available at the dispensary fees up to fifteen
dollars per year per student will be paid from the health fund for
visits made_ to a doctor if the appointment for that visit is made by
the school nurse. Eye examination and dental care will not be included.
To assure that a reasonable advancement in the health service
can be maintained without restriction, students are charged three
dollars per quarter. The largest expenditure of the fund is the main-tainance
of trained nurses. When Bethel only had a dispensary it was
just necessary that a school nurse be "on call". With the addition
of an infirmary it is necessary that the nurse be "on duty" during
certain hours. Pay for the nurses "on duty" is considerably more than
when they are only "on call". The dispensary must also be stocked with
an adequate amount of medical supplies and equipment. When a doctor
is made available, his salary will be paid from the health fund.
In the period of September to December the total visits made to
the dispensary was 556 for an average of 4.5 per day. Twenty-six stu-students
were admitted to the infirmary for a total of 66 days, (exclud-ing
one stay of about 30 days).
The dispenasry is in room 131 of Bodien residence, and the school
nurse can be consulted between the hours of 10:30 A. M. to 5:30 P. M.,
Mondays through Fridays, and on Saturdays between 10:00 A.M. and 2:00
P. M. For emergency care at other hours the school nurse can be
located by contacting the switchboard. Visiting hours in the infirmary
are weekdays-3:30-4:30P.M., and 7:30-8:30 P. M.
Faculty and staff members and their families, as well as families
of students, are not entitled to dispensary care or the services of the
nurse except in emergencies where a private physician cannot be con-sulted
From Your Student Council

Preparations for the third annual Prospective Students' Days are
under way. Started as a means of acquainting our high school young
people with Bethel Campus, this is rapidly becoming a tradition of the
school. This year, in addition to inviting high school seniors and
graduates, plus some juniors, we are inviting college personnel who
are anticipating seminary work. The overall purpose of the days is
to acquaint all prospective students, within a reasonable travelling
distance, with the academic, spiritual and social life of Bethel. The
dates are March 15 and 16.
Now that Bethel has grown into a Senior College, and since the
constitution of the Student Association has not been revised for several
years to fit the new situation, a committee of twelve members plus a
faculty advisor has been chosen to survey the needs and draw up a
new constitution, which upon completion will be submitted to the
entire student body for approval. The members of this committee are:
Russell Johnson, chairman, Phil McLain, Clifford E. Anderson, Marjorie
Ford, Florence Nordstrom, Elna Winterstein, Maynard Johnson, Ruth
Haglund, Eleanor Johnson, Bob Frykenberg, James Rentz, and Albert
Windham with Prof. Walfred Peterson as faculty advisor.
Althought a trifle late this year, work is continuing on the skating
rink with the hope that it will be complete by the time this issue
of the Clarion is in your hands. Hence, take your skates in hand,
cross Arlington south of the girl's dorm and scale the huge snow
bank confronting you. On the other side will be the skating rink.

yours if you wish it. THE NEED IS URGENT! Next Friday, January
26th, the Red Cross Bloodmobile unit will visit the campus to receive
much needed blood donations from volunteers among the students and
Registration for blood donors can now be made in the business
office in the college building. The hours available are between 9:00
A. M. and 4:00 P. M., next Friday in the recreation room of the boy's
dormitory and will take approximately 45 minutes for each donor.
To be eligible to donate blood
you must be between the ages of
18 and 60, and if you are under
21, you must have a parental re-lease
slip signed by your parents.
Such slips are procurable in the
business office and are to be turn-ed
in at the time of registration.
Under no condition will blood be
taken from a minor without the
required signature of the parents.
In pointing out the physical ef-fect
of donation of a pint of blood
•the Red Cross bulletin sent to the
school reads as follows: "Donating
a pint of your blood is no harder
on you than the exercise involved
in a game of tennis, a long hike,
or a swim".
As to the need for blood the
bulletin stated that "The blood
given by students and faculty is
supplied to U. S. Military Install-ations
at home and abroad and to
the local and state hospitals.
Whole Blood is being sent each
day, to Korea, from the St. Paul
Regional Blood Center. MORE
Concerning the diet of the blood
donor the bulletin advises "Avoid
eating milk and eggs or heavy
fatty foods for four hours prior
to donation, but you may have
a light, starchy meal and fruit
four hours before donation." Ones

"...Nevertheless I live; yet not
I but Christ liveth in me..." and
since that day in his youth when
he dedicated his life to God, Mr.
Ivar Anderson has lived a life in
complete submission to His will
and has taken as his life verse
Galatians 2:20. Mr. Anderson en-rolled
at Bethel Academy to pre
pare for his life's work and grad-uated
in 1929 as valedictorian of
his class. He continued his studies
at the Seminary and a few months
following his graduation from the
Seminary, he and Elvira Wik were
married in July, 1932.
Together they went to Michigan
to do mission work and to serve in
various pastorates. In the years of
1946 and 1947 they were confer-ence
missionaries throughout lower
Michigan and then the Lord led
them to Curtis and Victory, Mich-igan,
to start missions and there
they remained until recently.
Mr. Anderson is strictly a family
man. As much of his spare time
as possible is spent enjoying the
fellowship that he and his wife
and their three children have to-gether.
Consequently, his hobbies
are limited but he does manage to
claim stamp-collecting and reading
of religious books as his favorites.
At present he is sharing a room
at the Seminary dorm with the
"Two Dwights" but as soon as his
family arrives from Ludington,
Michigan, they will reside at 693
York Avenue.
The German Club held its regu-lar
meeting Tuesday morning, Jan-uary
16, at eleven-twenty o'clock
in the lounge of the girls' dormi-tory.
The guest speaker was Rev. E.
L. Golonko, who spoke on Ger-many
and related some of the ex-periences
he had during the years
he lived there.
Following the meeting, the mem-bers
of the club had lunch to-gether
in the dining hall.
Tobogganning Rules
Each year there seem to be
sonic serious accidents on student
toboggan parties (official and un-official).
These have resulted in
long periods of hospitalization and
a considerable expense. Of course,
after the first accident of the year
everyone becomes careful, but
wouldn't it be good this year to
take some steps to try to prevent
such accidents?
The following is a list of safe-guards
while toboganning. Sent
out by Mr. Anderson's office:
1. Always kneel, never sit. Our
spinal columns aren't made for
such severe jolts.
2. The head person on each to-bogann
must be one who
knows how to steer.
3. Don't attempt difficult or un-known
hills. Trees, stumps,
and drop-offs can cause trou-ble.
4. Someone in the party must
know the first aid principles
for dealing with broken backs.
In case of injury, don't ever
get the person up on his feet
until you're sure there's no
back or neck injury.

up by Don Dye, Intramural chair-man.
The tournament is open to
any of the student body and any-one
wishing to compete need only
sign his name to the paper on the
bulletin board in the basement
outside of the gym. Competition
is open in both men's and wo-men's
singles and also in men's
and women's doubles.

for the first round is nearing
completion. West remains unbeat-en
in their five games and have
now rolled up a total of 94 game
points in all competition. Illinois
continues in second place.

Scoring sweet revenge for an
earlier one point loss, the Bethel
cagers knocked off Northwestern
School, 63-56. Northwestern's gym
was the scene of action on the
twelfth of January.
Art Hage carried off all scoring
honors of the evening with 21
points. Hage counted on ten bas-kets
and a lone free throw. De-pendable
_ Bud __Pierce __followed
closely with 18 and Ralph Martin,
looking fine with his smooth ball
handling, scored 10 points.
The first quarter found the Indi-ans
behind as Johnson and Habich
poured in a barrage of field goals
for NW. Getting up steam in the
second quarter, the Re d m e n
brought the count to within two
points at halftime, 34-32.
At this point, Hage personally
conducted Bethel on a scoring
surge, but Northwestern matched
the Indians point for point and
still led at three-quarters, 48-45.
Then in the final period, Bethel
tossed eight shots through while
NW slowed up with only three
field goals. As the contest ended,
the Indians appeared to be getting
continually stronger and claimed
the victory by seven points.

Running into a well-coached five
from Eveleth, Minnesota, Bethel
dropped a 69-47 decision on Janu-ary
10. The game was played as a
preliminary to the Lakers on the
Minneapolis Auditorium floor.
The local five were definitely
off in their shooting in the first
half as they dropped only five of
thirty-one shots through the hoops.
Meanwhile the northern team was
connecting on fifteen in thirty-eight
Bud Pierce experienced an off
night, the first such night for him
in quite a number of games over
two seasons. He scored eight, all
in the final half. Pete Unruh
attempted to carry the load and
did well in tallying 17, but it was-n't
enough to offset the other
team's score. Bob Carlson earned
secondary honors with 13 points.
For Eveleth, John Burger was
the star of the show as he poured
22 points into the basket, most of
them long, two hand overhead
shots. Skalko and Simela aided
the cause with 13 and 12 respect-ively.
It marked the Indians fifth de-feat
in six games, while Eveleth
was scoring their sixth straight
against only one loss.
B Squad Routs N. W.
To Seek Fourth Win
Challking up three wins and
three losses is the record of the Be-thel

The team dropped decisions
to Luther, and Superior, before
coming through to defeat North-western
33-31 early in December.
Lowrey Avenue Baptist of Minne-apolis

Calvary squeaked by the squad
36-34 just before Christmas vaca-tion

The starting five for the B squad
presently is Chuck Lindgren at
center, Harry and Ron Nelson at
forwards and Cliff Pals and Wayne
Thompson at the guard positions.
Others on the squad are Don spratt
and Dean Stromwell.
The B squad usually plays its
games in preliminaries to the var-sity
games. The home games begin
at 6:30 at Minnehaha.
Mpls.-St. Paul
The Eveleth five are led by hot

After these two contests, Bethel

Ashland, Wisconsin, where they

Thanks to the student body, faculty and any others who turned
out so loyally on January 10 to support Bethel in their Laker prelimin-ary
against Eveleth. It was good to see so many at the game even
though the representation did look very small in the large auditorium.
Thanks also to the gymnasts for their very fine performance between
halves of both games. I certainly enjoyed announcing the act on the
public address system.
The annual Coffee Cup game is to be played this year on March 6,
Tuesday evening in the Bethel gym. For those of you who have never
witnessed the spectacle, let me tell you it is definitely one of the
"musts" of the school year. The faculty (now in training) takes on a
group of fellows selected from the college. After a hard fought
first half, the teams drop to the floor and are revived through the
serving of coffe—thus the name coffee cup game. There will also be
a preliminary game composed probably of a team from the seminary and
the intramural champs. Plan now not to miss this outstanding sports
event right here on the campus.

Staging is the key to proper production planning for garment screen printers. This primer will help you start staging your garment jobs effectively.
By Screen Printing's Solution Sourcebook
Staging is the gathering of required tools and materials in a physical location in readiness for the succeeding steps of the production process. Staging a garment-printing run involves an assembly of screens, inks, substrates, and press accessories in a designated area. Staging a garment job allows you to move bottlenecks, point out capacity shortfalls, check job components for process control, plan rather than react, shorten press-changeover times, and destage.
It may sound crazy, but having a bottleneck isn't necessarily a bad thing when you can choose where it occurs. There will always be a bottleneck in any workflow. It's the step in the process that limits the amount of finished product—in this case, printed garments—that can be manufactured in a given time frame.
The press is usually the most critical piece of equipment for screen printers, and this is where you want to have a bottleneck. For example, if you have a prepress department that can produce more than enough finished screens for your presses, then the bottlenecks is at the press. The press is the one piece of equipment in the shop that produces decorated garments that can be shipped and invoiced. If the press runs at full capacity, you will make more money than if the press runs only part of the time. None of the other departments can claim to produce finished goods that immediately available to increase cash flow.
There are different approaches to moving and controlling a bottleneck. Sometimes, adding a shift to a particular department will suffice. Other times, additional personnel, equipment, space, or all three become necessary. The decision is based on the amount of additional capacity you need and how long you need it.
A staging system, when properly carried out, allows one production run to leapfrog another in a set time schedule without an impact on press downtime. It keeps the presses running when a screen breaks or other unscheduled interruptions occur.
Capacity shortfalls
A working staging system is the only way to obtain efficiency when there is production imbalance between departments. It smoothes the production peaks and valleys of the supporting organizations and ensures the opportunity to use each press to its fullest capacity at all times.

Dansko shoes are sized according to European (EU) whole size
standards. To help you find the right fit, Dansko provides sizing
charts for shoes. See the sizing charts below for your size. The
comparable United States (US) size range is shown below.
Most styles are manufactured in medium width. We offer a range
of designs to accommodate a variety of foot types. Dansko also
offers narrow and wide clogs for women and narrow and wide clogs
for men.
Fit may be slightly snug when stepping in. Toes should not touch
the front of the clog. Heel should move up and down freely as you
walk. A variety of closed-back styles, offering such design
features as buckles and elastic are added to styles as a design
feature to accommodate both high and low insteps.
Open-back and sandal styles support the full length of the foot.
For some wearers, the heel of the foot will meet the back end of
the shoe exactly; for others, the heel may be slightly forward of
the back of the shoe.
Adjustability is carefully considered in the
design of the open-back and sandal uppers, taking the form of
buckles, elasticized panels, and convertible heel straps.
Heel heights vary by collection. Maybe you are looking for a lower heel height or you want to try something new with a higher
heel height or maybe you want to stay at the same heel height. Here's a quick reference table showing the heel heights of

David Nail to Release New EP '1979,' Featuring His Adele Cover, on July 17
After David Nail's powerful rendition of Adele's 'Someone Like You' surfaced online in an acoustic video, the singer decided to release the tune digitally for his fans who couldn't seem to get enough of it. Inspired to take it one step further, Nail has readied the tune to be part of a special digital three-song EP titled '1979,' which he's planning to release on July 17.
Rounding out the rest of the music on '1979′ will be Nail's current single and the title track of his latest album, 'The Sound of a Million Dreams,' as well as the tune 'Half Mile Hill,' also found on his current MCA Records album.
"It's hard to believe the life that 'Someone Like You' has taken on," Nail says of his Adele rendition. "It's proof that people hunger for great songs, and they are open to different interpretations of songs they love. I started singing it because it's a great song to warm up with, and people who heard it liked it. Then, I guess, they told other people, who told other people."
"We never did it for anything more than to share with the folks who were asking," Nail adds. "And then it's being played by Blair Garner, added at CMT and even talked about by a pop radio station in New York! With all that, and people continuing to ask, we met with the label and asked what they could do. '1979′ was their response."
The title of the EP is named for the year Nail was born, and it promises to offer a stripped-down feel to the singer's music that is a bit different than what people have come to expect from his traditional studio recordings.
"I think every singer hears songs that make you want to sing them," he says of why he chose Adele's song to cover. "I got to the Adele album late, because I listen to so much sports talk radio. But the second I heard it, I was all about it. It was just one of those songs. And I love the idea that enough people want to hear it, that we're able to put this EP out on iTunes, so anyone who wants to share these songs with me can."
Fans can purchase the EP starting July 17 on iTunes by clicking here.

A year ago I had just broken up with my ex, and was still a couple of weeks away from my first date with my inamorato. I don't remember doing anything in particular, but I did churn out a blog post, if nothing else. I wrote about movie romance, and I touched upon the long and continuous craze for movie and television adaptations of Jane Austen novels, but I'd like to look at least one of them a little more closely.
Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen's masterpiece. It's been filmed about a zillion times for both movies and television. It's strangely appropriate that Bridget Jones's Diary, the book that launched a thousand modern romances, is a loose adaptation. It is a nearly perfect thing and it is essentially yours to ruin if you choose to adapt it. I wasn't going to bother to explain anything about the book, but then I remembered how many people I run into who have never read or seen any version of it. These people are nearly always Boys. So. Let me explain Pride and Prejudice to you.
The set up is great. The Bennett family resides in a house in the country, living on a modest income. Unfortunately, all the property is entailed, meaning upon Mr Bennett's death it will all go to the nearest male relative. As all five of the Bennett offspring are girls, they and Mrs Bennett are in danger of becoming penniless should anything happen to Mr Bennett while the girls remain unmarried. The story primarily concerns Lizzy Bennett, the second oldest daughter, who is about twenty years old.
The hero is Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy, who famously remarks upon first laying eyes on the love of his life, Lizzy: "She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me." She, of course, overhears him, thinks (understandably) that he's a colossal jerk, and thus the stage is set for the best romance ever written, and all the thousands that follow over the subsequent two centuries. But, here's the thing, and the reason modern romances feel so inconsequential: for the Bennett girls, even though Pride and Prejudice is essentially a comedy, the matter of marriage and romance is life and death. For them, romance is a pitched battle in which a loser is consigned to penury and misery. This isn't a decadent game of the lesure class's. The stakes are sky high and one finds oneself desperately wanting things to work out for Lizzy. The book is often very, very funny, but when was the last time you saw a romance set in this day and age that caused any sort of anxiety or worry in you as you watched?
I recently rewatched the film adaptation from a few years ago, starring Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfayden, and beautifully directed by Joe Wright. The film felt a little rushed, but Wright's choices feel pretty much right on the money. Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in 1797, finally being published in 1813, and the film is set earlier than Austen's works usually are, which feels right. There's an earthiness to it that lends the film a texture and depth - it looks lived in and the period details seem unbelabored and natural. I spoke a bit elsewhere about Knightley's performance as Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, and about how the movie felt a little staid and Victorian (though the period was Georgian), and how she seemed a little miscast. Knightly is great as Lizzy and she and Macfayden are lovely together. Knightly has a lovely moment when she first sees Pemberly, Darcy's estate, while on holiday with her Aunt and Uncle - the estate is so ludicrously over the top, enormous and gorgeous she just bursts out laughing, because, I mean, who lives like that. And she's more or less destitute and she has already turned it down sight unseen as someone as stuck up as Darcy couldn't possibly be right for her.
Most importantly, the thing one must get right in the casting of all romances is that the participants must look and feel like they belong together. There's so much sneering at romance, as if it's the province of silly women, and it's so hard to talk about without falling into clichés, but it matters. We live in such an unpleasantly cynical age, where simple pleasures, like being happy for fictional characters is often discounted. Maybe I shouldn't be trusted. I was recently informed that my continued happiness was on the verge of becoming tiresome. I have no doubt that's the case, but I'm not finding it the least bit tiresome and am looking forward to it continuing. On that note, I must ready myself for the celebrations tonight!
A word about chocolate before I bid you adieu and await my beloved: we had a very chocolate heavy Christmas here at the Cabinet. Of special note is the gigantic box of delicious Polish chocolates bought for me by my inamorato. That's Pola Negri on the cover and the candy is filled with delicious things like rum and avocaat (not made out of lawyers as previously feared). The Pola Negri box of chocolates could not be recommended more highly.

Controversial 'bike rights' bill in Iowa
Excerpts from the DesMoines Register follow:
Cars emerging from a private road or a driveway, or entering or crossing a highway, must yield to bicycle and vehicle traffic on the road, the bill proposes.
...And it would prohibit local laws that force cyclists off the streets and onto the sidewalks...
On the proposal that vehicles must give bikes five feet of clearance when passing, there were concerns that it wouldn't be practical for farm equipment and large trucks. But Democratic lawmakers wanted the law to apply them, too.
...Several Republican senators' amendments were shot down. One Republican wanted to require bikes to have a 6-foot-tall red flag on roads. Another would have shielded local governments from liability during touring events such as RAGBRAI.

W.H. emphasizes proof, not strategy
The White House did everything but call it a "slam dunk."
Former CIA Director George Tenet's catchphrase lives in infamy because of its link to the botched intelligence case used to sell the invasion of Iraq. So the Obama administration took near-jesuitical pains, and avoided glib sound bites, to make clear on Friday that Syrian President Bashar Assad attacked his own people with chemical weapons last week — with devastating consequences.
Story Continued Below
The administration emphasized the "high confidence" it has that Assad is responsible for the attack, the multiple "streams" of intelligence that said so and the consensus of its many intelligence agencies. It isn't possible, officials said, that the Syrian rebels could have faked all the different signs and signals of the attack.
( See POLITICO's full Syria coverage)
Still, if the administration learned the first of two hard lessons from Iraq — the public and the press will forever be skeptical about official claims that a rogue nation has weapons of mass destruction — the White House has not appeared to embrace the second: describing the larger strategic context in which it wants to take military action.
So although the Obama administration offered the most detail yet on Friday about last week's chemical weapons attack by Assad's regime, no one was eager to answer Washington's biggest question about a potential attack on Syria: what comes after.
Instead, the White House pointed repeatedly to the unclassified intelligence assessment on Syria it had been promising all week, which laid out in precise terms what it said happened outside Damascus.
( PHOTOS: International response to Syria)
"This is common sense. This is evidence. These are facts," Secretary of State John Kerry said. "So the primary question is really no longer 'What do we know?' but 'What are we — we collectively, we in the world — going to do about it?'"
Kerry didn't answer, but the White House has spent a week telegraphing its desire to "punish" Assad for the attack with "limited," "tailored" cruise-missile strikes. A senior administration official kept to the White House line that President Barack Obama has not decided how to proceed on Syria, and Kerry said the U.S. would observe its own timeline in deciding what to do next.
The White House did not, however, unveil any new wider strategy for handling the war in Syria. Instead, it re-emphasized its previous belief that Assad must leave power in a negotiated settlement and did not address congressional critics' questions about the wider American strategy.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama: Syria situation threatens national security)
Friday's key message was itself highly "tailored": There should be no doubt that Assad launched a chemical attack and that it had devastating consequences. Kerry blasted Assad in a statement at the State Department and then senior administration officials followed up with a briefing for reporters.
The poison gas killed 1,429 people, U.S. officials said, including at least 426 children, in what Kerry called an act of "indiscriminate horror" about which Washington and the world should now be confident. The president and his advisers also appear confident they must do something about it — soon.
"Doing nothing sends [a] message to those in the future, a dictator or terrorist groups, that they could carry out a chemical attack in the future," one senior administration official said.
And officials tried to address two other worries head-on: that the U.S. intelligence community could have made a mistake on Syria like it did on Iraq, and that after more than a decade of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan — as well as the intervention in Libya — Americans are fed up with wars in the Middle East.

HOT ROD Homecoming Staff Pick
It's hard to get the HOT ROD staff to agree on anything, let alone being unanimous in their selection of Mike Podaca's '51 Cadillac as the recipient of a feature. The staff was tasked to pick a car from the hundreds of entrants jammed around the Fairplex in Pomona, California, at the HOT ROD Homecoming celebrating the magazine's 65th anniversary last year. What makes this an even odder choice is that the Cad falls into the custom-car category, which doesn't get a lot of love from HOT ROD. Not that we don't love a cool custom, it just seems that 700 hp typically trumps 700 body mods.
But Mike's Cad had that nice combo of subtle yet arresting. Mike could have gotten outlandish with the mods but instead kept them on the happy side of clean, which helps keep the overall look cohesive and cool. When asked why he thinks it's a crowd pleaser, he said, "I think the shape of the car draws people to it."
Like the chopped top. You have to look at a stock '51 Caddy to see the difference in a stock-height top and this Cad's subtle 3-inch chop, done sometime deep in the Cad's past. It wasn't chopped to a cartoon-like slam but more to enhance the proportions of the sultry body. And the combo of metalflake and fogged panels always gets admiring comments.
There are lots of traditional custom touches, too, like shaved door handles and emblems, and a toothy custom grille, in this case from '51 Ford F-1 pieces put together by Mike. Another traditional touch is the more difficult-to-create '54 Packard Clipper taillight conversion. Mike's are newly cast and were fitted to their respective openings for a perfect match. The hood has been peaked and the trunk lid modified to lower its profile, while the headlights have been frenched—this work done in lead also from way back in the day.
Mike was destined to own this car because he had been chasing it for years, watching it go through a couple of different iterations before opportunity, pocketbook, and wife Adele's approval converged in 2001. What attracted him to the car was its overall imposing looks enhanced by that roof line and low stance. What didn't was a combo of purple paint and chameleon flames.
Friend Don Caldwell agreed to help Mike tune up what needed fixing, but the little stuff could wait once the paint started cracking. Caldwell was responsible for most of the bodywork and paint, as well as talking Mike into the Hazelnut Pearl body color choice. Mike told Caldwell he wanted a "rowdy, badass, cruiser look" for the Caddy, and he let Caldwell go from there.
With all of the early lead work and color changes the Cad had been through over the decades, it needed to be stripped down to bare metal and brought up to a better level of good. Once the Hazelnut Pearl was shot, Caldwell and Louie Vasgez flaked the top in a combo of gold and copper panels with a black base, fogged on the outer edges, then trimmed in bright cherry flake, with the whole group outlined in black pinstriping by Larry Fator of San Dimas, California.
With the paint done, the Caddy went back home, where Mike and his son Dean handled the chassis upgrades and final assembly. The Caldwell-built 355ci Chevy is in familiar confines, as the Cad had been updated with a Camaro front end sometime in its past. The engine features an Edelbrock tri-power intake with three Rochester carbs powdercoated in candy red to match the finned valve covers. Caldwell and Tom Ferra fabbed the wild fenderwell headers and exhaust. The Chevy is backed by a 200-R4 trans with a 2,200-rpm B&M torque converter set up by Toyshop Transmissions in Pomona, California. The '69 Camaro clip was gone through, as its disc brakes and power steering were deemed more than acceptable for the Cad's intended cruising and carousing.
Out back a Ford 9-inch rear with 3:70 gears on stock leaf springs helps support the gangster whitewalls and Cadillac "sombrero" hubcaps. Mike installed the air-ride system backed by a dash-mounted Easy Street computer controller for ease of driving when practicality is needed, and that low-down look the staff was first drawn to.
A&B Chrome in Montclair, California, spent many hours perfecting the chrome bumpers and grille, while also doing all of the stainless polishing.
Inside Elegance Auto Interiors in Upland, California, got the nod to do the upholstery. With design input from Caldwell, Elegance created the sculpted headliner and chopped the front seat to coincide with the lower lid. The layout straddles the line between traditional tuck-'n'-roll pleats and contemporary two-tone vinyl edged with red piping. Elegance did not get Star Wars with the design, nor did it stick with the black and white pleated interiors normally seen in traditional custom interiors. It maintains interest without going off the tracks.
Mike wanted to retain the stock steering column and wheel, gauges, and overall dash layout, with some custom touches for the sound system added by Caldwell. The paint carries the colors used on the body and top into the Cad's interior with the paint treatment on the dash. San Dimas Glass replaced all of the side glass and formed the rear glass. The windshield is cut down from stock glass.
Other than the interior, this was a car built in garages, not shops. Finished in 2012, the Podacas christened it "Psychobilly" after the Johnny Cash song by the same name. Psychobilly is not trying to be something more than what it is: a cool cruiser that has been improved for freeway driving in the chassis and drivetrain department, and subtly redesigned for a sneaky, sinister look with just a touch of contemporary. And it must have something else to have piqued the interest of a bunch of jaded editors working the HOT ROD Homecoming event.

Shortened life possible for facility supplying a third of city's powerA public process is getting started on the decommissioning of the Martin Drake Power Plant, which supplies about a third of the city's power.
A Colorado Springs Utilities "fact sheet" describes the downtown facility, located just east of I-25, as "reliable… cost- effective [and] environmentally responsible."
However, a recently released consultant's study for the city reports that its age (units built in 1962, '68 and '74), along with recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations aimed at the carbon dioxide emitted by coal-burning plants, may force the city to shut down Drake considerably sooner than the 20 years that were previously anticipated.
It is not known yet how its capacity would be replaced, based on previous-meeting discussion by City Council, acting in its dual role as the Utilities Board. There are no plans to build a new coal-fired plant because of the EPA mandates, although a natural gas facility has been suggested.
The Utilities Board will hold the first of what's expected to be several public meetings on the subject over the coming months Wednesday, Feb. 19, starting at 1 p.m. at City Hall's council chambers, 107 N Nevada Ave.
"The board will hear a presentation from study program manager, Navigant Consulting, who will report on 12 alternatives to decommissioning the Drake Power Plant," a city press release states. "They will address and compare options according to expected cost and sustainability. Study results indicate the least-cost option is continued operation of Drake long-term (more than 15 years). The most favorable sustainability alternative, considering potential environmental and social costs, is retiring the facility in the short term (by 2019).
"Midterm (9-to-15-year) decommissioning options were also analyzed. The board will discuss a decision process, timelines and other factors that need to be considered, including the next Electric Integrated Resource Plan [for Springs Utilities], additional public input and the recommendation from the Utilities Policy Advisory Committee regarding the Energy Vision. A board decision on the direction for the organization's future energy supply is expected by summer 2014."
Last year, Springs Utilities figures show that it generated 61 percent of its electricity from coal (half of that from the Drake plant), 30 percent from natural gas, 6.8 percent from hydroelectric power, 2.13 percent from wind and 0.29 percent from solar.
Coal is the city's cheapest power source, with natural gas second. At Drake, "generation cost, including fuel and debt service coverage, was $41.92 per megawatt hour (MWh) in 2011, compared to $65.69 per MWh for the natural gas-fired Front Range Power Plant," the website states.
Previously, a Utilities renewable energy official has said that wind power costs about twice as much as coal and solar over five times as much.
According to the EPA, the carbon dioxide from coal plants is a major cause of greenhouse gases and human-caused global warming. This position has been disputed by some scientists who point to data showing no discernable warming for the past 15 years.
In any case, no local government has formally objected to the EPA mandates, and Utilities itself has set a goal for 2020 of providing 20 percent of its total electric energy through renewable sources and reducing average customer use by 10 percent - while keeping its rate to customers 20 percent better than three comparable utilities in the state.

I would also note that the 15 mph speed restriction seems to involve more than the bridge as it seem to run as far as the west end of the Bradford MBTA yard, so there may be other work involved (of which I am ignorant).

I've had several requests for this information so here it is, instructions on growing Agaricus bisporus, the common Button mushroom found in stores. From: Western Biologicals, Aldergrove, BC, Canada Fresh wood chips or straw in a bed or trench in the garden may be used to produce mushrooms. The "thatch" in a lawn is sufficient to support the growth of these mushrooms if spawn is sprinkled at root level just under the grass. The turf is replaced and the area watered as necessary. Champignon, white Button mushroom - It is challenging to grow this mushroom on a small scale due to the difficulty of preparing small quantities of compost, and due to its requirement for "casing". Naturally composted manure from a stable may give good results, and you may even produce mushrooms from ordinary garden compost, or straw or mulch. Compost is spawned, and following several weeks of colonization a layer of casing soil, which may be clean soil or peat moss mixed with crushed limestone, is placed over the compost. When the mycelium grows through the casing, the mushrooms may be "pinned", which requires fresh air, and a temp lower than 17 C. Pinning is the name given to the process of forming the first small mushroom primordia. A properly prepared outdoor patch may be expected to produce mushrooms for several years. Establish in the lawn with spawn sprinkled at root level under the grass. Compost made from straw and horse manure is the best for button mushrooms. To prepare a mushroom growing compost, straw is pre-wet by soaking for 3 or 4 days, then mixed with approx. 20% by volume of horse manure and .5% of Gypsum (calcium sulphate). In order for good compostimng temperatures to be attained naturally (approx. 150 F.), the compost pile will need to be about 8 - 10 cubic yards. The pile should be completely turned over every 5 - 7 days. With each turning, the layers of the compost pile should cycle to a new position. Thus, the outer 6 - 12 inch layer should form the core of the new pile, the "anaerobic" core should form the new "active" middle layer, and the old growing in the active regions of the compost appear as white flecks known as "fire-fang". The pile should be sprinkled lightly every few days to maintain moisture, so that a small fistful of compost will just barely release moisture when squeezed as hard as possible. Do not water so much that it runs off, as this will promote undesirable anaerobic conditions. Exposure of every part of the compost to peak temperatures in the active region is important for killing off mould spores, eggs of mushroom flies, nematodes, etc. Gradual cooling after peak heat is important in "conditioning" the compost and producing a selective growth medium. At the end of about three weeks, the pile should have begun to cool down, and should have no residual ammonia smell. Strip off and discard the outer 3 - 4 inches of the pile and select the white-flecked, clean smelling inner material in which to grow your mushrooms.

Back in February, we introduced you to Matt A. and his E30 BMW. Under his hood was a Mitsu Eclipse 4G63 turbo engine swap, along with a 6-speed manual transmission, and a turbo that could swallow a goose whole and not even surge. Last year, Matt's BMW was making a mere 500-ish horsepower and running low 11's in the quarter mile at 119 mph. So, it was basically too slow, because Matt wanted 9's. Fair enough.
It's now July 2011, and racing season is in full swing again. On July 9th Matt took his BMW up to New England Dragway for his first real testing day this season. Right off that bat, Matt tore off a 1.586 second 60 foot time, and ran 10.538 at 132 mph. Cutting a half a second off your 1320 time, along with gaining 13 mph is not too shabby I'd say.
Can't see the video? Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfHRID7g6AY
You are probably saying "Great, but he still didn't do 9's yet, so what?" Well, you see Matt has around 100 more horsepower on tap, ready to be "turned on" per se. He is just on the fence about cranking it up and grabbing 9's in the weeks ahead, OR saving his fresh drivetrain for the 19th Annual DSM shootout in Ohio on August 20th and 21st. Regardless of when it happens, 9's are going to happen, and you will see the video here when it does.
More to come…
