Liberty Bell Mountain Climber's Log

My second time, worth doing more than once. Popular and crowded. | ||

Johnhl94563 | Route Climbed: Southwest Face Date Climbed: July 17, 2004 | |
Started off as a nice climb/hike up the trail gully to the notch between Liberty Bell and Concord till a NOISY party of 3 RAN up the trail to get in front of us and another party of 2 we were walking with. They were the slowest party of 3 I have ever seen. With two parties behind them they still just wanted to stand around and talk about every single move on the climb. They didn't climb much faster. We ended up doing Concord tower while we waited then came back and went up Liberty Bell. The party was still nearing the summit. Hopefully all Washington climbers aren't that rude. Overall however still a good experience thanks to the other politer, Washington climbers that showed up later. | ||

hkutuk | Route Climbed: Beckey route Date Climbed: July 3, 2004 | |
Since last year's Silver Star climb have been intrigued by all the climbing possibilities in the WA pass area, so finally got to try something there. After a short night at the Blue Lake TH parking area, Jim and I headed to Liberty Bell. On the way up I ended up taking the wrong gully filled with sandy and loose stuff blocked by a nice! big rock. Climbing over this c..p warmed me up. There were only two guys from the town Mazama on the route and they knew their stuff and flew up the route. We leasurely climbed and enjoyed the route. The views from the top are awesome in every direction. The route was very enjoyable quite moderate and not exposed. Came down in three raps and quickly went back to car to go to our next goal NE ridge of Black Peak... | ||

Climbed with hkutuk - very fun route! The second pitch was the most interesting, while the third pitch was much easier than we had expected. We only saw two other people on the route the whole day. | ||

Tom Fralich | Route Climbed: Beckey Route Date Climbed: June 1, 2004 | |
Climbed with Felix Danila on a cloudy and cold day (after climbing S Early Winter Spire the day before). With the Memorial Day weekend crowd gone, we were the only party climbing anywhere in the Liberty Bell group. Since we knew the approach from the day before, we made very good time to the snow couloir and found good snow conditions. Once on the route, I bypassed some ice in the initial chimney by climbing to the left (about 5.5). Felix led the Pitch 2 chimney and I had fun with the traverse below the roof on Pitch 3. Easy scrambling brought us to the summit. We found the rappel descent very easily. The descent down the snow couloir was the scariest part of the climb, but snow conditions were still good and it went uneventfully. We left Washington Pass feeling very lucky to have climbed two routes in non-ideal conditions. | ||

With Phil Dyment, we traversed a snowfield to get to the rock and then being behind another party (imagine that...ha, ha.) we progressed slowly for several pitches. Still we finished in 10 hours and were back to the car just before dark. Surprisingly hard near the end as I recall. Very cool route, but the descent seemed to take forever on the trail. | ||

The North Cascades are beautiful during this time. No crowds. No waiting. Just fantastic climbing. On the approach hike we stood in a heard of mountain goats. I had to chase one away since he was on the climbing route above me. We also saw ptarmigans. The weather was sunny and warm. What a wonderful view at the summit. I will do this again next year. | ||

Sachin Deodhar has been working as a Computer Security Specialist and a Cyber Conflict Researcher with the Private Sector (and assisted Government, Defense and the Intelligence Community in a Consulting capacity) in India, Middle East, the UK and the United States, during his decade long professional career.
His areas of interests are Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), Offensive Information Operations and Asymmetric Cyberwarfare. He has also been involved with specialized research projects related to subversive (cyber and electronic) attacks against UAV platforms and other airborne systems that rely on wireless communication with ground and space based systems for their operation and mission execution.
Cyber-attacks Against UAV Platforms: A Viable Threat or Media-induced Hysteria?
The central focus of this talk is to present and analyze two types of attacks against UAV platforms and to support this analysis with recent examples from real world. The analysis of the attacks will be preceded by a high level discussion involving typical UAV platform configurations and typical UAV mission types.
The motive behind analyzing these attacks is two fold:
• To show how, while, similar to traditional cyber attacks (that target data, computer systems and networks), are also fundamentally different, in the sense that they are a hybrid form of attack combining cyber and electronic warfare methods and techniques. This is a direct consequence of the nature of the target (the UAV platform) and the closed and proprietary nature of its underlying architecture, hardware and software components, and communication protocols.
• As a result of the above, such attacks are usually resource intensive to plan and execute, and require high level of cross-disciplinary expertise. This talk is also an attempt to show that (and how) in reality, attacks targeting UAVs performed successfully in controlled laboratory environments frequently do not translate into successful attacks under real world conditions

[JURIST] Russian State Duma [official website, in Russian] officials said Wednesday they would expedite consideration of constitutional amendments submitted [press release] by President Dmitry Medvedev [official profile; JURIST news archive] that would extend presidential and parliamentary terms. The Duma's constitutional committee has recommended that the three required readings of the proposed legislation be done at one time, which would enable the legislation to be passed as early as Friday. The proposed amendments [JURIST report] would increase presidential term length under Article 81(1) [text] of the Russian Constitution [materials] from four to six years and extend Duma members' terms under Article 96(1) [text] from four to five years. A Kremlin statement said that longer terms "will increase the responsibility of the president and the Russian parliament for their respective performances," adding:
Establishing a longer term of office for the President with respect to State Duma deputies speaks to the need to ensure the stable development of the country and the continuity of government policies. The achievement of this goal is rendered more difficult when there is a virtually complete turnover of power at the federal level every four years.

from Yasiin Bey – Ms. Fat Booty Lyrics on Rap Genius
"Wild" can mean several things in the hood." There's "wild" as in "wildin" which basically means you don't know how to act. When attached to a female the word denotes a kind of slutty promiscuity, as in, "that bitch is wild yo" but here Mos means to convey a level of intensity. Essentially, he's using "wild" as a synonym for "crazy" — I was crazy over this girl and so now I have to tell you this story…

Just consider. Every time petrol prices are raised, oil companies end up losing more money. Simply because the price differential between petrol and diesel increases further, and people gravitate towards diesel vehicles. More the use of diesel, more the oil companies bleed. Worse, we all bleed because diesel vehicles add to toxic pollution in our cities, which, in turn, adds to ill health and treatment costs.
Teachers are a stubborn lot. Give them a tough problem to crack and they will doggedly chip away at it - till something gives way. Then either a rational solution emerges or the entire operation is abandoned. And search for a fresh alternative begins. In other words, half hearted, lukewarm responses have no relevance at all in the universe of school education. It is all about being able to deliver. Or not.
It's that time of the year again. Climate change talks are heating up, with the next conference of parties scheduled in Durban in end-November. There is heat but no light. The negotiations are stuck despite the clear signs of climate change: dangerous and potentially catastrophic extreme weather events.
The environment is holding up growth and economic development. This is the common refrain in circles that matter. So when the Group of Ministers tasked to resolve the issue of coal mining in forests asked for a report on what needs to be done, it was told that the best would be to dismantle green conditions, almost completely.
Next year, in June, world leaders will get together in the joyful city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to mark 20 years of UNCED—the Earth Summit (see Down to Earth, May 15, 1992).
This would probably trigger an avalanche of brickbats, but I am going to take my chances anyway. I think its time that the Education sector in India opens up to a fresh set of quotas.
As I write this my city Delhi is drowning. It started raining early this morning and within a few hours the city has come to a standstill. The television is showing scenes of traffic snarled up for hours, roads waterlogged and people and vehicles sunk deep in water and muck. The meteorological department records that some 60 mm of rain has fallen in just about 6 hours; 90 mm in 24 hours; and with this the city has made up for its deficit of rainfall this season. In other words, in just about 24 hours Delhi and its surrounding areas got half as much rain as they would in the entire month of September. Delhi, like all growing cities of India, is mindless about drainage. Storm water drains are either clogged or do not exist. Our lakes and ponds have been eaten away by real estate. Land is what the city values, not water. So when it rains more than it should the city drowns.
We were standing at the edge of what looked like a swamp—grass and pools and streams. On one side was heavily barricaded land with high walls, barbed wires and armed security. A board read: East Coast Energy, Kakarapalli. This was where a bloody battle had taken place a few months ago. People protesting the takeover of their wetland were shot at and three lost their lives. Now the site of the 2,640 MW thermal power plant is under siege—locked and in court.
I was in Kathmandu last week. An interesting time to be in Nepal as a political observer, watching the Jhalanath Khanal-led government run out of time to cobble together a coalition. Unfortunately, I wasn't there as a political observer. My task was to meet with the top brass in the government's Education department. And to try to figure out if an environment programme that has managed to excite and engage school students in India, would work its magic in Nepal, too.
Khan Market in boulevard Delhi is said to be the most expensive real estate in India, maybe even in the world. But in this richest shopping destination, buyers do not want to pay for parking their vehicles.

Pinterest pierces Top 50 most-visited sites list
Though Google still reigns as No. 1, a ComScore study shows that Pinterest joined other social networks for the most frequently visited sites in the U.S. for September.
ComScore released its list of Top 50 most-visited Web sites in the U.S. for September, and besides the usual big hitters, Pinterest made its debut appearance on the list.
Using its Media Metrix survey service, research firm ComScore found that Google was the top site in September, with 187 million visitors, and was closely followed by Microsoft, Yahoo, and Facebook.
"September also marked the first time that popular social-media site Pinterest cracked ComScore's Top 50 Properties ranking as it surpassed 25 million visitors for the month," ComScore Executive Vice President Jeff Hackett said in a blog post.

One other interesting tidbit: Americans were thinking seriously about back to school in September. According to ComScore, education sites, like HotChalk and Coolmath, saw a surge in traffic in September that gave education the No. 1 spot on the firm's "categories chart." Other top categories included deals, computer hardware, and gifts.

Farewell Firefox 4, I hardly knew ye.
Many users of the popular Mozilla browser have to wonder if something is amiss when prompted to download Firefox 5, which became available June 21.
Firefox 4 was released only 3 months ago. Version 3 and its various updates lasted three years.
Why the short shelf life for the entirely revamped Firefox 4? Was something terribly wrong with it? Did it have a security hole the size of Bobby Cox's trophy case?
But, since Mozilla is no longer issuing vulnerability patches for version 4 — and hackers seem busier than ever lately — you'd be wise to upgrade to version 5 immediately.
Version 5 feels like version 4.1 to the end user, though there are some under the hood achievements.
Why was Firefox 4's lifespan so short? Marketing, it seems.
Mozilla, the world's No. 2 browser behind the Microsoft juggernaut Internet Explorer, is trying to fend of Google's Chrome browser, which has surged in popularity recently.
Currently, Explorer still lays claim to more than 50 percent of the browser war turf, Firefox about 25 percent, Chrome about 15 percent. Safari, Opera and others divvy up the scraps.
The big, and well-paid, brains at Google release a new version of Chrome every six weeks. Firefox developers hear the footsteps.
From now on, they'll be releasing a "rapid-release" version every three months. Firefox 6 will be out in September.
Unfortunately, many useful Firefox extensions will fail to keep pace with the development cycle and quit working. And office computer gurus will have to update workers' browsers a lot more often to keep things secure.
So, keep hitting that update button.
Or, just use Chrome. It loads faster.
Capitalism wins again.

If it were only true capitalism.
and, yeah Chrome loads faster due to its increased vulnerability over firefox

This is really poor because the Mozilla/Firefox add-ons can't keep up with the new releases, meaning that every time you update their browser, you've just lost the add-on you finally got to work on the one you updated three months prior.
Case in point; if you use the Norton Toolbar on Firefox, it took Mozilla and Norton nearly 6 months to make it compatible with Firefox 4, and it just became stable enough to work correctly, and now release 5 is being thrown down our throats. After looking at the release comments from other users, once again, the Norton Toolbar isn't compatible with the new release.

THe only 'problem' I have with Google Chrome is that at times it takes up to a minute to load a new webpage. The issue isn't internet connectivity speed or website download speed, it's the time chrome takes to unload my cache and upload all its cookie data (aka data-mining my memory).
And I LOVE all the targeted ads I get after using gmail (as it data-mines my personal communication).

I was looking forward to ff4, but after reading different articles on websites and all the problems people were having upgrading from the posts on mozilla help forums, i passed. I'm sticking with ff3.6.17. I also read on one site about being able to change ff4 interface to resemble ff3, but so many people were having problems with that too. Too much trouble to change all that on 2 pc's and a laptop. If they ever get future versions to resemble ff3, and with all the addons to be compatible, i'll think about changing. It was bad enough when new versions of the personas came out and none of the themes or personas would work. Luckily you can get older versions(1.4) of the personas that still work with all the themes.

I Too had Norton, but recently gave up on it because a couple of well documented trojans got through the security and caused me a few problems. I started using MSFT Security Essentials – seems to work with all the browsers (so far) and, best of all, it's FREE!

I've got version 3.6.18 on my computer, and plan on keeping it for as long as the add-ons still work.

For some reason, I can't get my Netscape Navigator to work anymore. I'm stuck using Internet Exporler 1.0 to type this.

Keep version 3.6.18 at home and it works just fine. My work computer just recently upgraded to 5 which doesn't look any different than 4.

2002 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Donna K. Tearl CRT, Timothy J. Cox, RRT, James H. Hertzog, MD. Departments of Respiratory Care Services and Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, DE.
Background: Preparation of technology dependent children for hospital discharge presents many challenges. Adequate training and education of caregivers, discharge planning, and coordination with the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) and home-nursing companies must be completed. A process utilizing multiple Respiratory Care Practitioners (RCP) to achieve this may not be efficient. We evaluated our model where a dedicated RCP discharge coordinator provides education and coordinates discharge planning.
Method: In June 2000, we instituted a system utilizing a dedicated RCP discharge coordinator to manage the needs of technology dependent patients. This system provides a single contact for caregivers and outside agencies, a single respiratory care educator for the caregivers, and utilizes a clinical pathway involving the entire multidisciplinary team. Patient length of stay (LOS), number of training sessions, and customer satisfaction were evaluated before and after implementation. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, Mann Whitney U test, and Chi Square. Results: Data was gathered on 76 technology dependent patients from 1999-2001. Table 1 shows LOS. LOS decreased 41% after implementation. This decrease did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.055). Table 2 shows the results of two surveys asking (1) DME personnel if they were satisfied with the quality of caregiver training and (2) multidisciplinary team members if they were satisfied with the respiratory care educatorÕs performance. Statistically significant improvements in satisfaction were demonstrated for both groups (p < 0.001 for DME, p < 0.002 for team). Average training sessions increased 19% from 2000 to 2001.
Table 1# PATIENTS | LOS | |
Before | 25 | 82 days |
After | 51 | 48 days |
DME | Team | |
Before | 86% | 82% |
After | 94% | 98% |
Conclusion: Our model of a designated RCP discharge coordinator/educator for technology dependent patients was associated with increased training sessions, increased satisfaction with the quality of caregiver training by DME personnel, and increased satisfaction with the discharge process by the members of the hospital multidisciplinary team. Although not statistically significant, there was a trend toward a decreased LOS with this system.

Cellular shades can help block summer noiseJun 10 2010 Cellular shades can help block summer noise David Coffin, director of Ball State University's audiology clinic, told Businessweek that typical summer noise like lawn mowers, traffic and fireworks can be between 90 and 140 decibels, adding that any noise above 80 decibels can cause hearing damage. "We are living in a society that gets louder every year," Coffin told the news source. "Now that the weather is warmer, we are exposed to all sorts of sounds that can lead to permanent hearing loss." According to the news provider, the National Center for Health Statistics estimates that almost 15 percent of Americans younger than 19 suffer from some form of hearing loss, and most hearing loss is not reversible. To reduce that amount of summertime noise that enters the house, homeowners may want to hang cellular shades. Experts report that installing cellular shades help block noise from the outside. Cellular shades boast other benefits as well - they are energy efficient, can help insulate a home and are aesthetically pleasing. Related Products

Why you probably have an above-average number of feet The average kid on the block might have a lot of trouble understanding what an average is. Every time Garrison Keillor signs off his "News from Lake Wobegon," as a place "where
all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average," he gets a laugh. But the mathematical meaning of average is not always the same as the colloquial meaning – and even within math, there are three different kinds of "averaging" that are commonly referred to. The average of a bunch of numbers is the one that we all learn in school – if only because our grade might have been determined by the average of our scores on the tests. This average is formally called the mean of the numbers. It's computed by adding up n numbers and then dividing by that n. But the mean can be really misleading; for example, most people earn below average salaries, but have an above-average number of feet, as an excellent BBC article on this topic points out. The main point for salaries is that the average is easily affected by a few people making a ton of money. For example, suppose three people make $47,000 each, three people make $50,000 each, three people make $53,000 each, and one person makes $500,000 (all annually). Their combined average salary is $95,000, even though almost everyone makes a lot less than that. For salary, a more appropriate number might be the median, which is a number such that half of everyone makes more, and half of everyone makes less. In our mock situation with only ten people, the median would be $50,000 – which is a good estimate for most people in the sample. According to the Census Bureau, the median household income in 2007 was $50,233.00. The mean is over $60,000 because those top earners have a higher weight in the average. A different problem happens when you look at the number of feet people have. In this case, almost everyone has two feet, but there are a few people who have just one or no feet. Suppose we have five people, say four have two feet and one has one foot . If you take the average number of feet, you will find that the average is 1.8 feet. It follows that almost everyone has an above-average number of feet. In this case, the mean is again an inappropriate number to look at – we would do better to think about the mode, which is the number that occurs most frequently in the data set. Since four people have two feet, "two" will occur most often in the data. Why is mode a better choice than median? Mode is a good choice to use for a data set with a small set of values – in this case, the possibilities are zero, one or two, while median is a better choice for data that can vary continuously, like income.

"Freedom of expression" was the phrase of the day on Day 2 of the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT), as delegates debated Tunisia's proposal [2] to include in the treaty an explicit reference to the right to freedom of opinion and expression, as guaranteed by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. With delegates from China, to Europe, to the US all opposing the measure, the language was ultimately not adopted into the treaty. But was Member States' commitment to free expression really driving this decision?
The Tunisia proposal asserted that:
"Member States [must] acknowledge that the same rights that people have offline must also be protected online, in particular freedom of expression, which is applicable regardless of frontiers and through any media of one's choice…"
Reactions to the proposal embodied a prime example of the range of motivations and interests in play at this conference. Host country UAE and ITU Secretary General Hamadoun Touré supported the measure, likely in an effort to show that the treaty is not intended to violate free expression principles – a charge they've been fighting persistently in the media. Some opponents of the proposal, including the US, indicated that a direct reference to free expression both off and online could paradoxically expand the scope of the treaty to include Internet content and networks. All delegates agreed that Member States continue to be bound by their existing obligations under human rights law.
The discussion gave Member States from around the world, and the ITU Secretariat, plenty of opportunity to espouse deep commitments [3] to freedom of expression, online and off. Yet while Secretary General Touré assured delegates that "we are not going to be challenging Article 19, or indeed any other article in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," good intentions alone are not enough to ensure that. Delegates from all nations must continue to consider each proposed treaty revision for its potential impact on human rights – as we've argued for months [4], a number of proposals [5] raise real questions [6] for privacy and free expression, regardless of whether the ITRs mention Article 19.
We're pleased to hear that Member States "overwhelmingly supported the importance of Article 19" – that's the kind of consensus among world governments that we can get behind. Yet proof of this support will come not in statements at a conference, but in the implementation of treaty provisions and development of national law. As we've seen time and again in the US [7], Internet policy can be complex and, if not carefully considered, can result in collateral damage for free expression and other fundamental rights. The best way to avoid these unintended consequences is to develop Internet policy with expert input from a range of stakeholders, including human rights advocates and the technical community. Here's hoping that we can get an emerging global consensus for the multistakeholder model, as well.
Still to come this week: discussion of the Russian Federation's Internet-specific proposal [8], which sparked a brief but divisive debate at today's main session; continued wrangling over the treaty's scope in the "recognized operating agency" versus "operating agency" face-off [9] and other definitional disputes.

"The early history of this town (Polo) is very difficult to determine. Like Topsy it "just growed." People here saw it grow, but paid little attention to its development. The first public sale of lots was March 15, 1853. The plat this time was not recorded nor was it recorded until March 15, 1854; neither had the railroad been completed.
This replica of a ballot for state election in 1856 for the Republican ticket, Zenas Aplington for State Senator, 1858. Before the later system of voting by the "Australian Ballot" was used. The original was but 3"x4½" with no "markers" to pen in.
"The latter was coming they were assured and that a station as to be located here was also assured to those wise, eager purchasers of lots. It was felt by many that that Village determined to fight against it, to fight against Fate ..."
The writer of the above, (taken in part from an early twentieth century Ogle County history) is an opinion of Polo's history; being ill-recorded is quite curious because there were many sources even at that period telling quite broadly of its past. Nor, apparently, had the writer become acquainted with Zenas Aplington, the town's founder.
Henry Boss, editor of the local newspaper in the late 1850's, the "Transcript," was established by none other than Zenas Aplington, in 1857.
Many details of Ogle County's beginnings are told in Boss' short booklet that might otherwise have been lost or forgotten. Among those issues is that Charles Meigs, Jr. was the founder of the "Transcript." You'll have to choose. While under the direction of Boss, however, the name of the paper was changed to the "Polo Advertiser."
Polo was fortunate in having several newspapers along the way, sometimes two at the same time and which supported many causes such as the "Poultry Argus," the "Banner of Freedom," an abolition paper. It may have given what news they could of the Underground Railroad that passed through Buffalo Grove and Polo, though silent and invisible. The "Church" was another, its editor, Dr. J.C. Blubers wrote that it was only "printed as often as God gave the means." (!)
Under Henry Boss, the "Polo Advertiser," was thought to have been the first newspaper in the nation to suggest Abraham Lincoln for the presidency, that in November, 1858.
Zenas Aplington
Not only are there sources for when businesses in Polo began but names of their proprietors, too. See them, if you will.
In 1865 the "Polo Press" when purchased by J.W. Clinton was edited by him for thirty-six years. He also kept files, a scrapbook, diary that are on the shelf at the Polo Library and a great source of discovering the past. (And they're alphabetized, yea!)
Clinton changed the name of the newspaper to "Ogle County Press." The Terry family eventually came into possession of the Clinton issuance, changing the name to the "Tri County Press" which was in operation for many years, at least three generations.
With Boss' direction in the late 1850's, a list of businesses included and we'll copy them here: "2 newspapers, 3 hotels, 9 grain dealers, 7 dry goods, 2 drug and book stores, 2 hardware, 2 millinery, 1 melodean factory, 1 wind grist mill, 1 steam planing mill, 3 blacksmiths, 2 bakeries, 15 carpenters, 4 shoe shops, 2 lawyers, 2 coal yards, 1 wagon factory, 1 wood turner, 3 tailors, 1 cooper, 3 harness makers, 2 painters, 2 dentists, 4 physicians, 1 furniture room and cabinet shop, 4 lumber yards ... We know of one business along whose receipts alone amounted to $50,000 annually."
This selection of businesses is probably typical of the small town, mid-century, nineteenth century. What with moving of many from Buffalo Grove to "New Town," Polo. The population was estimated at 1,500 to 2,000. And remember, people then shopped locally, save one or two times a year, they might have boarded the train, if they had one, to shop for major numbers of things, the latest fashions, the difficult to obtain, etc. Polo became the marketing destination for the eastern part of Carroll County, north Lee and much of Ogle.
A second rail line came through, east and west, in 1886, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. It met with the Illinois Central in the far northeast corner of Polo, the IC going over top of the CBQ by bridge. The railroads did change the marketing and shopping habits of the citizens of small towns as the automobile would in the twentieth century.
To meet the needs of the traveling public, Polo had three and four hotels, the "Orient" track side. And you might say, Zenas Aplington was track side also, one block back, west side. He had moved a frame building from Buffalo Grove to host a store and residence. It was there that in August of 1856 Abraham Lincoln came off the train, entered the store to introduce himself and become acquainted with the men there. He'd arrived from Springfield to make a speech at a campaign rally for John C. Fremont, candidate for president on the Republican ticket. He had no entourage or press release to precede him. He'd hitch a carriage ride with Zenas Aplington, a friend, and others to Oregon where the rally was to take place. He wasn't the featured speaker; that was John Wentworth, much better known to the state's residents for his active role in Republic politics. The posters that publicized the rally printed Wentworth's name in letters four inches high, Lincoln's two inches. Few had yet heard of Lincoln but when he began to speak, second on the agenda, most of the audience stayed to be mesmerized by his words. It was a major introduction of the man to Northern Illinois. The house still stands where he was a guest for two nights, Aplington's.
Henry Boss stated in his early history that in 1854 Zenas Aplington was the "principal owner of part of town." He'd given lots for churches and other needed facilities throughout. The Presbyterian Church, built in 1857 still stands. It was the first church in Polo and its walk-in basement was a meeting hall for events large and small. Many impressive homes, brick or frame, decorate the community, Aplington's among them. Half of it is an old, old frame on to which a later addition was built. Its fame is not only for its local founder and hero but because Abraham Lincoln slept there two nights in 1856. Those two men had become acquainted in the state legislature.
The local historical society has worked to make the place a tribute to the two who were unusually active in separate but like levels of our history. With the coming of the Civil War, Aplington felt it his duty to serve. He assisted in organizing the 7th Illinois Cavalry Regiment and was commissioned a major at the Battle of Corinth (Mississippi). Zenas Aplington was killed May 9, 1862. He was forty-eight years old.
His body was returned to the town he founded and is buried in its cemetery on the northern limits of the community. He was survived by wife Carolyn (Nichols) Aplington and six children: Harriett, Sophia, Henry, John, Burton and Winneshiek, a girl.
The opening paragraph states that Buffalo Grove was doomed in its growth which was unfortunately true although it as yet functions as a quiet little village west of New Town.
Several citizens did delay its Fate somewhat. The Post Office remained almost two years at old town and still called "Buffalo Grove" after Polo took form and with its mail delivered by train instead of stage coach. The Buffalo Groves guarded the post office with tight security until one night the Postmaster surreptiously picked up the little frame building that served and moved it under cover of darkness into Polo and doubtless fastened it down securely!
There are many facts and details that abound in the histories of Polo and its predecessor, Buffalo Grove. They span every imaginable, exciting chapter of frontier life and the eras after ... Claim jumping, Indian War, Banditti, hardships and struggle to take the wilderness, coming of the railroad, rivalry between two close towns, adapting to change and more. And don't forget the Woman's Whiskey Raid (two weeks ago in PDQ Me.) Were they inspired to rally in the dark of night because that's when the post office was moved successfully? We'll never know. That IS one thing omitted in the story of Polo.

i LOVE similac advance ready to feed its so convienent and my son has been on it since birth and has had no problems!!!
That's wonderful! Welcome to Strong Moms! Tell us more about your son! Glad you are a part of this community!
My little girl adores Similac Sensitive...not for sure why:)
I am currently weaning my 6 month old baby girl from breastmilk to Similac formula. My husband and I have tried a different formula one other time, but my daughter seems to prefer Similac. Also, I trust giving Similac formula to my daughter more than any other, because our pediatrician's office sells Similac and it is an amazing doctor's office with excellent doctor's and nurses. Similac was also recomended to us by the hospital that I gave birth in, and it is the formula that most closely resembles breastmilk. I've honestly heard nothing but great thing's about Similac.

A proposal to provide health insurance to unmarried, live-in partners of University of Nebraska employees is far from certain to receive NU Board of Regents approval next week.
Regents contacted gave diverse responses to the proposal, which NU President J.B. Milliken unveiled and which is on the board's agenda next Friday.
The proposal, called "Plus One," would cover both same-sex and heterosexual partners.
"I'm voting for it," said Regent Chuck Hassebrook of Lyons, Neb.
"I want to know the figures, and they've not spelled them out for me," said Regent Randy Ferlic of Omaha. Ferlic said his hesitation had nothing to do with gay or lesbian partners receiving NU health insurance. "My issue is truly cost."
Milliken said Friday afternoon that the matter came down to two basic points.
First, NU needs to offer the benefit to remain competitive with similar universities for talented faculty and staff, he said.
"We also think it's the right thing to do," Milliken said.
He estimated the cost at $750,000 to $1.5 million to cover 100 to 200 people.
All employees would pay a $1 to $3 monthly premium hike.
Milliken said all Big Ten schools offer the benefit except the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He also said the four faculty senates in the NU system, all four campus chancellors and all four campus student governments have conveyed their support.
Regent Kent Schroeder of Kearney said NU staffers and faculty members tend to want him to support it, while constituents in his district tend to oppose it.
"I have not made up my mind yet," Schroeder said.
Regent Bob Whitehouse of Papillion said he leaned toward supporting the domestic-partner benefit.
Whitehouse repeated an argument made by NU administrators — that ConAgra, Mutual of Omaha, Peter Kiewit & Sons and some other major companies in the state offer it. NU officials said more than 80 percent of Fortune 100 companies provide the benefit.
Meanwhile, at least three regents, Chairman Jim McClurg of Lincoln, Bob Phares of North Platte and Tim Clare of Lincoln, said they would wait until next week to state a position.
"I am concerned about cost," Clare said. The proposed budget calls for $2.2 million in cuts, he noted, yet the Plus One proposal is estimated to cost at least $750,000.
Regents Howard Hawks of Omaha couldn't be reached Friday evening.
The university asked an Omaha law firm, Fraser Stryker, to examine whether the benefit would stand the test of constitutionality, given that the state has a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
The analysis found, NU said, that it did pass the test in part because the plan doesn't refer to civil unions, nor does it confer marriage rights on plan participants.
Pat Tetreault, director of UNL's resource center for gay and transgender students, said all employees should have access to similar benefits when possible.
Tetreault, who said she spoke only for herself, applauded Milliken for the proposal. "I totally agree with him and support him whole-heartedly."
