In his studio at the Williams Visual Arts Building, Nestor Gil is seated in front of a window typing furiously on a laptop as the Bushkill Creek drifts past his view on a bright December day.
"I'm writing semester evaluations for my students," explains Gil, assistant professor of art. "It's something my professors did for me as an undergrad at the New College of Florida where we had a pass/fail policy. With letter grades there's no context. What does a B really mean? I like context."
Take for example the inflatable elephants that students in his Dynamics of Sculpture class created from sheets of clear plastic and installed in the lobby of Farinon College Center this semester. Without the whoosh of air from a fan, the mother and baby elephants are puddles of stitched plastic, formless intentions. Breath brings the sculptures to life, and their weight defies scale as they bulge and float, trunks wagging midflight while engaging passersby with the unexpectedness of it all.
"I can't believe it happened," he says as students position the balloon-carrying baby just out of its mother's grasp. "This makes me laugh so much. It's ridiculous. It's an elephant. These things weigh so much."
"But they don't," notes Jon Cohn '12 (Allentown, Pa.), a philosophy major.
"Exactly," says Gil, who joined Lafayette in the fall of 2011 after teaching at Bowdoin College in Maine for two years.
Although he is quick to credit his students for pulling off an incredibly complex installation through creative problem-solving and collaboration, the project is pure Gil, a journey of whimsy and imagination infused with meaning and metaphor and it captures his essence far better than a resuscitation of his dossier. Yes, he is a teacher, poet, sculptor, activist and performance artist, but those titles are just signposts of identity. This is a man who not only brings life to art but lives it.
Consider the tattooed etchings of his children's names that peak out on his forearms from a tweed blazer acquired, he's happy to reveal, at a thrift shop. His son is named Sol, meaning "sun" or "shining light" in Spanish, and his daughter goes by Harvest, a nod to the idiom of reaping what one sows.
Describing his work as "a crossroads between sculptural, new media, and social practices," Gil not only toils in materials but ideas, the more absurd the better. His performance repertoire includes playing the character Vernon Twinburger, a bumbling politician with a bushy mustache who hands out balloons as a "historic event for the good of the world." ("Vern" references the newness or immaturity of spring, and burger is the lowest grade of meat.) It's not intended to mock the people Twinburger interacts with on the street, Gil says, but elected officials and the political process.

The creative process, however, is sacred, and woe to the student who misunderstands this exploration as a means to a grade.
"If you pursue art strictly for the accolades it undermines the process," Gil says. "It's fairly easy to make objects that people will like, but I want the semester to be a series of experiments. I want them to try something risky and dangerous. We want the dragons at the edge of the old map. We want something to eat us whole as we're trying to find out what interests us. We'll never know where the limits are unless we move past them."
Boundaries are something Gil learned about while growing up in Jacksonville, Fla., the son of Cuban immigrants.
"It wasn't the most welcoming community," he says, particularly after the Mariel Boatlift in 1980 when more than 125,000 Cubans arrived in the U.S. almost overnight. "People would say, 'You and your family with the loud music don't belong here.'"
The Ku Klux Klan carried signs that read, "We love Cubans, as long as they're in Cuba." But Cuba, the island his parents identified as home, was off limits to him and his brothers and sisters. As a result, creating art that engages community and evokes ideas of "memories and identity" is important in Gil's work today.
The second of five siblings, Gil came late to the academic world. During his 20s, he worked in the oil fields of Wyoming, at a half-way house in North Carolina, and at landscaped golf courses in Florida.
"When you do manual labor, you can give over all of your mental space to thinking about whatever you like," he says. "You can write entire poems and songs while doing so-called mindless work."
During this time, he submitted his poetry to literary journals and performed at poetry slams where he would move among the audience, often touching them on the shoulders and arms.
"It wasn't revolutionary but it wasn't conventional either," he says. "I began to see it as much as performance art as spoken word."
Eventually the road tracked home, and upon graduating in 2000 from New College with a bachelor's degree in humanities, Gil began teaching English and creative writing to high school students, inmates, and youth in the Upward Bound program. In 2007, after staying home with his daughter for two years and teaching part-time so his wife, Brandi, could pursue a master's degree in special education, Gil returned to the classroom and in 2009 earned a master's of fine arts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
By now he was incorporating the creation of objects with his affinity for words, a shift that coalesced during his stint as a stay-at-home dad and continued as a post-doctoral fellow at Bowdoin. There, he initiated a project called Know Their Names where 3,000 postage-paid postcards bearing the name of an Iraqi civilian killed since 2003 were distributed in American cities. People could use them to write a note to anyone in the U.S. Another project called Papalotes involved making 59 paper kites and inviting the community to fly them.
"My concern was not whether people got that the string suggested an umbilical cord that draws me to my late grandfather in Cuba, but that we created a new memory," he says.
So what might Lafayette students expect from this new professor come spring? Get ready for New Media: Sculpture Against the Digital Horizon.
"It deals with the fact that we live a more mediated existence. We experience the world through a screen, via television or phone. And while those things have given us seemingly unlimited access, you're also sitting in one place," Gil says. "It's the paradox of being more connected while being more isolated."
It strikes at the heart of Gil's personal and artistic journey, providing a bit of context to the life of a man who has found home through the nuanced lens of his own dreams.

Nick Holt is president and CEO of Plexus Inc., a company providing high-definition surveillance equipment, integration and consulting to area businesses.
"If a company has a need to survey their property, or a need for security management, facilities management or false liability claims, we provide the consulting to find out the need and from there, develop solutions to the issue," Holt said. "We present each solution and essentially let the consumer choose which one that best fits them."
The company mainly works with Wichita area businesses with 50 employees or more, and most clients are in the aviation industry.
In January, the company switched from traditional analog surveillance equipment to equipment with the latest technology, Holt said.
The older equipment limited the number of cameras used and the resolution of images. Newer technology allows the use of unlimited cameras and unlimited resolution, he said.
"Whatever the latest and greatest camera, you can hook it up. You can mix and match. You can use old technologies and mix them with new technologies," Holt said.
The company is growing, adding 50 clients so far in 2012.
Holt started in the business in college when he began working part time for a brother who operated Digital Age Security, which focused on residential and small commercial and service companies.
In March 2011, when his brother moved on to other ventures, Holt bought the business.
In early 2012, Holt incorporated Plexus Inc. with his business partner, Shawn Spaeny.
The company now has four employees.
Holt, 28, grew up in Wichita and graduated from Wichita State University with a degree in business administration.
When not working, he loves spending time with his family, which includes 2-year-old twins. And he enjoys cooking.
You mentioned that you specialize in the aviation sector with emphasis on facilities management and false liability claims.
If someone were to injure themselves in the workplace, (the equipment would provide) substantiating evidence for the company, protecting all parties involved. Because of the resolution … we're able to get that forensic evidence and actually have it hold up in court, whether for security purposes or liability purposes.
You can customize how much the cameras pick up, depending on what the customer wants to be able to do with the video. What are your four categories?
(The first is identification.) With identification, you can put it (the video) into a software platform, run it into a police database and find a match.
Recognition is being able to pick out someone in a line-up that you haven't necessarily seen or met. But because the clarity was there, you can say, "That's so and so."
To detect, is where you work with somebody, so you (already) know who they are.
(The fourth is basic motion detection.) That way, I don't give them (a new customer) a $50,000 system, when they're trying to spend $2,000.
You hear success stories from your clients, such as a Wichita-area company whose camera system recorded two employees who were fighting. Any others?
There's also been cases of drug dealing outside establishments that they were able to isolate and question the employee in question and from there end up allowing the police to make an arrest based on the picture of the drug dealer.
What does the new technology do?
The new technology enables virtual pan, tilt and zoom. That I would say is one of the greatest benefits. Every camera is a network device. There's a lot more functionality. The greatest benefit is you can see more with less. Traditional pan, tilt, zoom cameras allow you to focus into one general area based on analog technology. But what you lose out on is the rest of the image. (Under old technology) you focus in, but you're not recording the rest of the image.
With the new?
You can digitally zoom in while recording the entire image at the same time.
What do you like best about what you do?
I find the most enjoyment in the finished product and exceeding customer expectations. With the technology currently in place for some 40 years, being able to offer a much, much higher quality product at a reasonable price and see the customers' faces as they see the final product.
(In a recent installation) the customer walked by and said "Man, oh man, how technology has come so far." It's fun to see.
Who are your mentors? Who do you turn to for business advice?
I've got four older brothers that I always seek advice from. They're all fairly successful within the business community. Every time I get advice, essentially they force me to come up with my own solution. I feel that that's been my driving force – to trust my instincts and go with what I feel. Being able to bounce ideas off them … is a very good environment to be in.

Eddie Schwartz, CISA, CISM
Despite the best efforts and significant investments of security teams, various classes of threat actors continue to wreak havoc within organizations today. The challenge for our profession is how to reduce the impact of unknown and unexpected attacks and risks when traditional security technologies, processes and skills have proven to be inadequate.
Big data is transforming four critical areas of security in leading organizations: security management, fraud, GRC, and identity management. This keynote will discuss the drivers for this transformation and provide a blueprint for organizations looking to embrace uncertainty and succeed in the face of advanced threats and complex security risks.
Hear what Keynote Speaker Eddie Schwartz, CISA, CISM, VP of Global Security Solutions at Verizon Enterprise Solutions, has to say about the value of attending ISRM.
Eddie Schwartz is Vice President of Global Security Solutions for Verizon Enterprise Solutions. Previously he was Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for RSA and was co-founder and CSO of NetWitness (acquired by EMC), CTO of ManTech, EVP and General Manager of Global Integrity (acquired by INS), SVP of Operations of Guardent (acquired by VeriSign), CISO of Nationwide Insurance, a Senior Computer Scientist at CSC, and a Foreign Service Officer with the U.S. Dept. of State. Schwartz has 25 years experience in the information security field,.
Schwartz has advised a number of early stage security companies, and served on the Executive Committee for the Banking Information Technology Secretariat (BITS). Schwartz has a B.I.S. in Information Security Management and an M.S. in Information Technology Management from the George Mason University School of Management.

Captain Richard PhillipsCaptain of the Maersk AlabamaMaersk Line
Hero of the high seas, author of "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea," Captain Phillips caught the world's attention when he was captured by Somali pirates in 2009.
On 8 April of that year, his vessel, the Maersk Alabama, became the first U.S. ship in more than 200 years to be hijacked at sea. Over the course of the next five days, Captain Phillips's forward planning, quick thinking and heroism saved him, his crew and his ship.
A graduate of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Captain Phillips is a member of the International Organization of Masters, Mates & Pilots Union, and a licensed American merchant mariner. He became Captain of the MV Maersk Alabama in 2009. The gripping events surrounding his ship's capture and his eventual rescue by US Navy SEALS have been made into a soon-to-be released Columbia pictures movie starring multiple Oscar-winner Tom Hanks.His story highlights the need for all enterprises to have clear guidelines for safety and security. It also stresses the importance of leadership and creativity in any crisis situation. Ultimately it demonstrates that having an action plan for any eventuality is an essential foundation for protecting enterprise assets in the face of even the most unpredictable of threats.
Hear from Captain Phillips himself in the ISACA Now Blog post, "Risk and reward, typhoons and hurricanes—thoughts from a floating CEO", which is linked here.

|2006, 2nd round, 28th pick by Jaguars
Jaguars' Jennings could be more than just a handcuff
Fantasy owners who draft Jaguars RB Rashad Jennings could be getting more than just starter Maurice Jones-Drew's handcuff this season.
MJD's comments on Jags' QB situation not helping anyone
Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew's loyalty toward incumbent starting QB David Garrard isn't helping anyone — including Garrard.
Jones-Drew's knee could be a lingering problem
Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew recently revealed that he was playing with bone-on-bone contact in the back of his right knee toward the end of the season.
Cutler becomes the victim
The dust is beginning to settle after a potentially career-defining and painful two days for Bears QB Jay Cutler.

Run 'D' unravels for collapsing Raiders
Oakland blew a 10-point third-quarter lead on Sunday, and its defense struggled to contain RBs Maurice Jones-Drew and Rashad Jennings, who each had more than 100 yards rushing.
Jaguars top Raiders in shootout
David Garrard threw three touchdown passes, Maurice Jones-Drew and Rashad Jennings each topped 100 yards rushing and the Jaguars beat the Raiders 38-31 Sunday in a wild game that featured six touchdowns of at least 30 yards.
MVP Meter: Running from the backs
Only one running back, Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jaguars, is ranked in our top 10 this week, and the top six players on the Meter are quarterbacks.
‹‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next ››
Jones-Drew has been placed on injured reserve because of a foot injury.||||||| Jones-Drew injured his left foot Oct. 21 at Oakland when he was tackled on the opening play. He started running full speed last week, but his foot didn't respond as well as team trainers had hoped, so risking him in the season finale at Tennessee made no sense.
Jones-Drew ran 13 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals.||||||| Despite Sunday's effort, Jones-Drew is running for 4.9 yards per carry.
Jones-Drew ran 12 times for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-7 loss to Houston.||||||| His touchdown was the 75th of his career. He joined Randy Moss, Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates as the only active players with at least 75.
After skipping training camp in protest over his contract, Jones-Drew rushed for 77 yards on 19 carries during Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss at Minnesota.||||||| Jones-Drew wasn't expected to receive much work but ended up carrying the load after Rashad Jennings exited with a knee injury. He faces a tough task next week against Houston's stifling defense but should still be considered a top-10 option, especially if Jennings can't play.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have activated running back Maurice Jones-Drew and waived second-year running back Keith Toston.||||||| The Jaguars had a roster exemption for Jones-Drew, who ended a 38-day holdout last Sunday. He is expected to play in Sunday's season opener at Minnesota.

The Daily Item
SUNBURY — Millions of uninsured Americans are preparing to sift through massive amounts of information about new health care options when health insurance exchanges open today as part of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.
While some states are opening their own exchanges, Pennsylvania, home to 1.3 million uninsured people, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, is one of 36 states taking part in the Health Insurance Marketplace, run by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, which released new details of the available plans for consumers Wednesday.
The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that 13,000 uninsured people live in the Sunbury, Shamokin and Milton areas, representing about 14 percent of the region's population.
After providing some basic information about household size and income, the federal marketplace will list options for coverage, which will be broken up into four categories: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Insurance plans in the marketplace are all offered and run by private companies, according to HealthCare.gov.
Plans vary in cost and may be offset by advance tax credits for qualifying individuals, which can be directly applied to health care premiums, according to HealthCare.gov. The exchange will indicate whether individuals qualify for tax credits, which depend on family size and income, after they fill out the Marketplace application.
For a Pennsylvania family of four with an income of $50,000, the lowest silver-level plan in the federal exchange will cost $675 per month, or $282 after a tax credit. A 27-year-old with an income of $25,000 will pay $187 per month — or $145 after the tax credit — for the same plan.
Coverage on plans purchased before Dec. 15 begins Jan. 1, according to an Associated Press Q&A.
All plans must cover certain "essential health benefits," according to HealthCare.gov, which include outpatient care, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use disorder services, prescription drugs, rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices, laboratory services, preventive, wellness and chronic disease management services, and pediatric services.
Some private insurance carriers also will have exchanges to provide additional options for consumers, including Geisinger Health Plan, spokeswoman Amy Bowen said recently. Geisinger's marketplace will be available through thehealthplan.com/marketplace.
Health coverage will be required by Jan. 1, with penalties — beginning in 2014 with $95 per uninsured adult and $47.50 per uninsured child or up to 1 percent of a household's income — in place for those who refuse to obtain coverage.
By 2016, those fines will rise to $695 per uninsured adult in the household and $347.50 per uninsured child or 2.5 percent of household income.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

132 now dead, 156 unaccounted for in Joplin, 4,000 jobs affected by tornado
The state of Missouri says the number of people missing or unaccounted for since the Joplin tornado is now at 156.
Missouri Department of Public Safety deputy director Andrea Spillars said Friday that officials are working 24 hours a day to trim the list that stood at 232 a day earlier.
Here is a link to the updated list of those unaccounted for.
Spillars says at least 90 people on the original list have been located alive. But some new names also have been added and at least six have been identified as among the dead.
A city spokeswoman told The Associated Press earlier Friday that the death toll had risen to 132.
The Joplin Chamber of Commerce says the city's business community suffered a tremendous blow following the tornado.
Chamber president Rob O'Brian says at least 300 businesses and 4,000 jobs have been affected by the tornado.
And he says that count could rise.
One of the city's largest employers, St. John's Hospital, was destroyed. But hospital officials have vowed to rebuild and said they are committed to retaining the hospital's 2,000 employees.
Home Depot and Wal-Mart, also large employers, say they will rebuild. Dillon's, which was also destroyed, has not made a commitment.
O'Brian told The Joplin Globe that the good news is the city still has 2,000 businesses and 50,000 people, so it has many resources left.

Funnel Cakes Recipe
These funnel cakes are much simpler to make than doughnuts, but taste just as good. They have been a favorite of ours since we came across them living in the Ozarks. —Mary Faith Yoder, Unity, Wisconsin
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- Confectioners' sugar
- In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, water and vanilla until well blended. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; beat into egg mixture until smooth. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°.
- Cover the bottom of a funnel spout with your finger; ladle 1/2 cup of batter into the funnel. Holding the funnel several inches above the oil, release your finger and move the funnel in a spiral motion until all the batter is released (scraping with a rubber spatula if needed).
- Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm. Yield: 8 cakes.
Editor's Note: The batter can be poured from a liquid measuring cup instead of a funnel.

I use a squeeze bottle (from William Sonoma for pancakes) and it works perfectly. You could use any old squeeze bottle (cleaned out ketchup bottle for example). It makes quite a few. You can keep extra batter in the fridge for the next day because the funnel cakes need to be eaten fresh. These are a nice special treat, my new "sleepover breakfast" recipe for my kids and their friends.

Any one got a audi 100 that has a 5 stud space saver wheel?? should be a 15" wheel?
If you have could you possibly tell me the tyre size and also measure the diameter of the wheel including the tyre and the total width of wheel and tyre.
And if anyone has one for sale that would be great, it won't fit on my S3 but should make a good spare for my vw camper if its much smaller than a stock wheel. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

RALEIGH — The City Council is making a few tweaks to a sweeping rewrite of its development code before the new document takes effect in September.
Raleigh leaders and planning staff have been working on the new 300-page unified development code for more than three years. The goal is to scrap the old suburban model in favor of rules that foster a walkable, transit-friendly city with a number of high density, mixed-use districts.
The new regulations take effect Sept. 1, and planners and developers have been taking workshops to learn what it means for them. Were very confident in how this is going, and were ready to go live Sept. 1, planning director Mitchell Silver said.
Last week, the council relaxed a few of the rules that elicited complaints from developers, reducing open space requirements and loosening design criteria for tall buildings.
Here are a few of the changes; the council is scheduled to hold another meeting Monday to address remaining unresolved issues.
Easier open space: The code requires new developments to preserve at least 10 percent of the property as open space. In downtown, that space would have to be adjacent to the sidewalk, similar to the Cafe Carolina patio area at the Wells Fargo tower. Outdoor seating is required.
Developers, however, wanted to build on more of the lots and suggested moving that open space upstairs for a rooftop deck or similar amenity. The council agreed Tuesday to allow up to half of the open space required built on upper floors away from the street.
High-rise designs: City planners want the citys tall buildings to look less imposing from the street and generate less wind by requiring stepbacks. Thats where the building face is flush with the sidewalk for the first few floors, then steps back a few feet on higher stories.
The first draft of the code required two stepbacks for buildings taller than five stories one at the fifth floor and another at the 12th. That rule, planner Travis Crane said, got a thumbs down from developers who complained, Im losing a lot of building area.
Instead, the code will now require only one stepback anywhere between the third and eighth floors. I think this reflects what our development community had requested, Councilwoman Mary-Ann Baldwin said.
Restricting driveway access: After a controversial development earlier this year in Cameron Village, city council members want to keep developers from buying a lot behind their building to disperse traffic on neighborhood streets.
City planners have proposed a rule that would ban residential street driveways for commercial development and residential buildings taller than three stories unless theyre on a corner lot. Councilman Thomas Crowder thinks that regulation should be stricter. I think its going to be very detrimental to the neighborhoods that back up to these centers, he said.

Bob Mester figures he's scuba dived onto the ruins of Galloping Gertie - the first bridge across the Tacoma Narrows, blown apart in 1940 - more than 300 times.
He's been amazed many times on those dives, he says - at the crystalline clarity of the water, at the enormous scale of the collapsed girders, at the diversity of sea life that has blossomed in the bridge's barnacle-encrusted ruins.
But he was never so amazed as he was Wednesday, when he dropped in on one of his favorite places to view pieces of the wreckage, 115 feet below the surface near the Gig Harbor end of the bridge.
Parts of Gertie were buried in rock, he said. Others were draped with heavy anchor chain, sawing back and forth with the tides.
"The place is just devastated," Mester said.
The state Department of Transportation and Tacoma Narrows Constructors, the company building the new bridge, say they're doing only what's necessary to build the new bridge. The rock is needed to protect the old caissons from erosion, they say, and the anchor chains are essential to fix the new caissons in place.
According to Mester and other divers who regularly explore Gertie's wreckage, the construction is violating protections guaranteed to the old bridge because of its placement on the National Register of Historic Places.
"It's outrageous," Mester said. "If somebody tried to do the same thing with the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor, they wouldn't be allowed to do it. They'd have to figure out some way around it."
Walt Amidon, who owns a Federal Way scuba shop called ScubaSET Adventure Center, echoes Mester's concerns.
Amidon says he has dived in the Narrows two or three times a month since 1961 and is intimately familiar with Gertie's wreckage at the bases of the bridge caissons.
"The first time I made the dive after they started the construction of that bridge, I couldn't believe what I saw down there," he said. "It was like landing on the moon. The marine life we had down there is just gone."
While admitting they aren't sure exactly which parts of the wreckage might have been affected by construction, managers at TNC and the transportation department maintain that no significant piece of the old bridge has been covered or compromised.
Even if significant portions of the old bridge had been affected, they say, it would not have violated historical preservation laws.
"A lot of people think a listing on the National Register (of Historic Places) gives some magic protection," said Rick Singer, the transportation department's business manager for the bridge project.
"The Historic Preservation Act does not require protection at all costs," he said. "You want to avoid where you can avoid. Where you can't avoid, you minimize. What's left, you need to mitigate for."
Allyson Brooks, Washington state's historic preservation officer, agrees.
"A listing on the National Register really doesn't protect anything," she said. "It's just an honor. We are not the preservation police."
The most the state Historic Preservation Office can do, Brooks said, is negotiate for adequate mitigation - that is, accomplishing some other task or project intended to make up for a loss.
The comparison with the USS Arizona is misleading, preservationists say. The ship, where 1,177 sailors and Marines died during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, is protected because it is managed by the National Park Service, not because it's on the National Register.
The only time a "historic" designation offers real protection, said Airyang Julia Park, Pierce County's historical preservation officer, is when local jurisdictions enact specific ordinances.
"The federal law does not have a lot of teeth," she said.
Gertie is not on the county's list of historic places, but it is on the City of Tacoma's list. Tacoma's influence over Gertie stops at the city limit, which lies in the middle of the Narrows channel. The city has no protective regulations for the bridge that go beyond the national standards, according to Jennifer Schrek, Tacoma's historic preservation officer.
In the environmental impact statement prepared for the Narrows project, the state determined the new bridge would have no adverse impact on Gertie's remains. Therefore, no mitigation was required.
Based on his underwater explorations, Mester says that is not the case. The remains have already been compromised, he says, and he thinks something should be done to make up for the loss.
"I certainly am not going to be all upset with the contractors because, if the rock is necessary, it's necessary," Mester said. "You can't build an unsafe bridge. But you can do some mitigation that means something."
Salvager watches over Gertie
Mester is not just a weekend sport diver. He's a professional salvager whose Puyallup-based company - Underwater Admiralty Services - specializes in underwater recovery, insurance investigation and marine security.
He has a special interest in Gertie because he was instrumental in getting it placed on the National Register in the first place, more than a decade ago.
Back then, Mester's fear was that the steel in the old bridge would be claimed by salvagers who would haul it up and sell it as scrap. He campaigned relentlessly for the old bridge, extolling its virtues with the passion of a country preacher.
At the time, many people thought Mester was nuts to be worried about the bridge, regarding it as a failure better off forgotten. But he persisted, and federal officials saw things his way.
The ruins of the bridge were added to the Federal Register in 1992.
In part, the nomination read: "The collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge was a hallmark in the history of bridge design and civil engineering. Its impact is still felt in the profession today. The bridge's remains at the bottom of Puget Sound are a permanent record of man's capacity to build structures without fully understanding the implications of the design and the forces of nature."
The old suspension bridge, which had the third-largest center span in the world when it was completed in 1940, shook itself apart in a windstorm after being open to traffic for just four months and six days.
After the fact, investigating engineers determined what was by then obvious: The bridge's roadway was too narrow and light for its length. Also, the roadway had been supported underneath with flat steel girders running along its outer edges. The girders presented a solid front to the wind and made the bridge deck behave like an airplane wing.
On Nov. 7, 1940, when a prevailing wind out of the southwest topped 40 mph, the bridge went into a spastic fit and fell apart. The entire center span, about a half-mile long, fell into the Narrows and sank in about 200 feet of water.
Gertie's replacement, the bridge currently in use, was built in 1950 on top of the old bridge's foundations, which were not damaged in the storm.
The rock Mester saw at the base of those foundations is part of an armoring process that TNC engineers say is necessary to prevent erosion.
Computer modeling and hydraulic tests indicated that, once the new bridge caissons are planted next to the old ones, they'll create vortexes capable of scouring out deep trenches around them.
If nothing were done, the studies indicated, the vortexes would suck rock and gravel off the seabed and whisk it away like a enormous Shop-Vac. Scouring would leave trenches around the caissons at least 75 feet deep, the studies indicated, more than enough to compromise their stability.
The danger of scour is not just theoretical. According to a study at Texas A&M University, scour was responsible for the collapse of 600 bridges in the United States between 1969 and 1999.
The solution TNC engineers came up with in the Narrows entailed building a protective covering of rock too heavy to be washed away in the currents. Since March, cranes equipped with clamshell diggers have been lowering rocks ranging in size from television sets to golf balls - 70 tons in all - in a 50-foot radius around the bases of the caissons.
The new bridge is a "design/build" project, meaning many construction details were not finalized before the project started. Instead, they are refined on the fly.
Placing the rock around the caissons was not an example of that, Singer said. Armoring the caissons was expected from the beginning and was part of the plan back when the original environmental impact statement on the project was prepared in 1999.
No serious impact
At that time, the state Historical Preservation Office, which interprets the requirements of the federal law, agreed with the transportation department's assessment that construction of the new bridge was unlikely to have any serious impact on Galloping Gertie.
That conclusion was based in part on sonar scans of the floor of the Narrows, which showed the largest pieces of the old bridge lying where they fell in 1940. Most of them are nowhere near the caissons.
The sonar scans clearly show the big pieces - the old roadbed, the supporting girders and anchor blocks, and 56 concrete boxes the size of houses that were used to hold the old caissons in place as they were being built.
But the diagrams didn't begin to show all of the wreckage, Mester says. And some of what they didn't show, in places most accessible to divers, is now either under newly deposited rock or being whipped to pieces by heavy anchor chains.
Fast currents and deep water make dives to the middle of the channel impossible for all but the most sophisticated and well-equipped divers.
For sport divers who want to see Gertie, Mester says, their only opportunities are the pieces in relatively shallow water near the shore, where the caissons protect them from the currents.
Amidon said he was particularly dismayed about one of those spots near the Gig Harbor caisson, a place divers call the arena, because of how pieces of Gertie's old roadbed were stacked.
"A big, huge anchor chain has just raked across the bottom," Amidon said. "It just tore everything down and rearranged it. Nothing is the same as it was a year ago. That habitat is gone, and I'll never see it again in my lifetime."
Singer acknowledges that some small pieces of the old bridge may have been disturbed.
"Galloping Gertie flew apart in thousands of pieces," he said. "The sonar that was done identifies the major parts. Clearly, it would be impossible to build this bridge and not impact parts of Galloping Gertie. We're trying to protect the major chunks of Galloping Gertie that are down there."
Impacts on the existing bridge
Ironically, while state historical preservation officers who reviewed construction plans saw no potential consequences to Gertie, they did predict an adverse impact to its replacement - the bridge currently in use.
At the time, that structure was just 49 years old, a year shy of being eligible to be listed on the National Register. Knowing it would come of age during the five-year construction process, transportation department officials themselves nominated the existing bridge to the National Register. The listing is pending.
The impact of the new bridge on the existing one, historical preservationists said, is a matter of aesthetics.
The bridge's graceful arch, stretching like a strand of green ribbon across the channel, creates a scene that has become iconic in Pacific Northwest culture, they said. Putting a new parallel bridge into that picture, they reasoned, would "modify its character-defining features."
As a way of making up for the intrusion, the transportation department promised to spend $150,000 on a Web site documenting all historical crossings at the Narrows, from prehistoric times to the present. That project, designed to be used in public schools, is to be online in January.
That's nice, Mester says, but it's not enough.
Mester doubts that the transportation department and TNC are being as careful with Gertie as they say they are. He has a problem with the state agency, whose clear mission is efficiency and economy, playing the watchdog to make sure TNC toes the line.
"That's like giving the key to the chicken house to the fox," he said.
Singer, who used to be the head of historical and cultural projects at the transportation department, resents that implication. He has a strong interest in history, he says, and has no intention of letting anything happen to the old bridge.
"That's the fun part of this project," he said.
If it turns out that the divers are right, and a significant part of the old bridge was buried or damaged by anchor chains, Singer says, a portion of the agreement with the state historical office, called an "unanticipated discovery plan," will kick in, perhaps requiring more mitigation.
An example of how that process might play out is already in the works, he said.
While locating anchor lines for the new caisson, TNC discovered that the heavy chain attached to one anchor, designated "F," on the inner ring of anchors on the Gig Harbor side, might come into contact with a 280-foot section of roadway lying on the bottom.
Engineers are not sure whether the chain will touch the wreckage, but TNC has agreed to send divers down when it gets close, to make sure.
Even if the anchor chain does touch the old bridge, engineers don't expect it to compromise the integrity of either the anchor or Gertie.
"It's not going to be slicing this thing in half," Singer said. "It's just going to be rubbing on a portion."
Even so, if it does touch, Singer said, a detailed copy of the anchoring plan will be inserted into the official bridge archives to document what has happened, as a form of mitigation.
Mester is not impressed.
"Again, this does not sound like adequate mitigation," he said.
A better idea, Mester thinks, would be an underwater trail for scuba divers, perhaps linked by cable, that would lead divers to Gertie's most interesting features.
Either that, or an interpretive site on shore, perhaps with monitors linked to underwater pan and tilt cameras so people could see the wreckage and the wildlife for themselves.
"That way," he said. "Everybody could see for themselves what's down there."

Best Uses
Great boots for practically any occasions. Since they have a little heel, they can be dressed up. They are very comfortable so they can be worn all day. I like them for school and work. I wear them with a dress for going out. The material isn't super high quality so they aren't the fanciest looking boots. But they are well made. The zipper on the inner calf is convenient so I don't have to lace them up every time I put them on or off. They run a little bit narrow. I would order a half size up next time because I like to wear socks with boots.

When Gloucester's school officials were weighing a parent's suggest to add security guards to local school buildings as an important public safety step, some insisted there was no such need, others suggested an armed officer might even intimidate students.
Just two weeks unto the new school year, however, the actions of Gloucester Police Sgt. Michael Gossom have shown the revived school resource officer program is not only working effectively, but that Gossom has gained the confidence of students and school staff in precisely the manner he should.
According to a Gloucester police report, Gossom last week arrested a 16-year-old male GHS student for domestic assault and battery after he put a hand on each of his ex-girlfriend's shoulders and "shoved" her to the ground inside the school.
The report indicated that Gossom acted after a group of students had approached a guidance counselor about the young couple's relationship, and the counselor spoke to Gossom. According to the report, Gossom had planned to facilitate a conference involving the girl, a parent, and a school guidance counselor after hearing in the past week that the young couple's relationship "may be getting tumultuous." But when approached by the counselor and learning of the incident, Gossom spoke with the girl involved, then made an arrest when she confirmed the alleged assault and said she feared the teenage boy's "explosive anger."
This type of action may not have been what police or school officials might have anticipated when Gossom took up his post. But the truth is, his actions answered the concerns raised by the other students and guidance counselor, and should send some powerful messages to all:
That this type of alleged abuse or bullying is unacceptable and will not be tolerated; that the resource officer is someone that students and staff can approach when they feel threatened, or see someone else in the same position; and that, when they bring these concerns forward, there is a police officer on their side trained and equipped to handle the situation.
That indeed is a positive step for school safety and toward a safe, comfortable learning environment. And that's what this project is all about.
