Why is French the first language of the Olympics? Frenchman Baron de Coubertin developed the modern Games in the 1890s, making French is the first language of the Olympic movement. French and English are now the two official languages.
Why do athletes bite their medals? While Olympic historians aren't sure which athlete started the trend, they believe athletes first began nibbling their prizes to test the metal and make sure it was real gold.
What's with the neon shoes? The fluorescent footwear spotted on many track and field athletes comes from Nike. They are the company's official Olympic track shoes. And the color? It's known as "Volt."
Why do all medalists get flowers? This has been a tradition since the original Olympics between the Greek city-states, when the winners received olive wreathes.
Who's the runner with the flower in her hair? That's U.S. 800-meter champion Alysia Montano, who wears a flower in her hair every race to signify strength and femininity.
Why doesn't sand stick to the beach volleyball players? The type of sand that is used in Olympic competition is regulated by the International Volleyball Federation and is designed to be stick-free.

Oral History Program Melva C. Crookston Interviewed by Marci Farr 1 August 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Melva C. Crookston Interviewed by Marci Farr 1 August 2008 Copyright © 2009 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

Crookston Application Photo February 1949 Graduation Photo Class of 1953 Melva C. Crookston September 16, 2009 1 Abstract: This is an oral history interview with Melva C. Crookston. It was conducted August 1, 2008 and concerns her recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Melva Castleton Crookston, a graduate of the class of 1952. It is August 01, 2008. We are at her home in Ogden, Utah. We would just like to know a little bit about your family, where you grew up, where you were born and raised, where you went to school. MC: I went to Bear River High School and I had one brother and one sister. We walked to school a long ways in the snow and rain. MF: Why did you decide to become a nurse? MC: You know, it is funny, I took this biology class and I really loved it. This biology teacher just made it so interesting and then I just decided to become a nurse. MF: When did you decide to come to the Dee Hospital? MC: Well, I applied at both hospitals and the sisters at St. Benedicts had us in and had a lovely tea and they were so dear. The doctor I worked with in Tremonton said, you know, "The sisters make better nurses." MF: Yes. MC: But then when I looked further into it and the Dee was affiliated with the University of Utah. I would get college credit. So I went to the Dee. MF: That was your choice. MC: Yes, and I was glad I did. I got a scholarship there. MF: Oh good. MC: And I roomed with a girl that I had gone to high school with. 2 MF: That was good she was your roommate. MC: It was a good experience. MF: Do you remember who your housemother was? MC: Her name was Mrs. McGraw. She was a sweet little old lady but we were pretty hard on her. MF: You gave her a run for her money. MC: I think we did. I remember one night we went on a little outing and we got in too late and of course we all smelled smoky because we had built a campfire and were roasting hot dogs. It was up in the canyon. It was so late and we got home and, of course, we took our clothes off and took them up on the roof. She could hear us rattling around up there. MF: Trying to air them out. MC: She came to our room and of course we were in our pajamas real quick and she said, "Have you been here all evening?" And we said, "Well no." And she said, "Have you been to bed yet?" And we said, "Well not quite." MF: Trying to get around it. MC: Yes, she was a sweet little lady. MF: What was it like when you were there as far as the training, very strict, very orderly? MC: It was quite strict, we worked really hard. Mrs. Seidner was the supervisor of nurses, she was actually the head of the nurses. She worked over in the hospital. She seemed so strict. She checked to make sure that our shoes were clean and that we had hose on. 3 MF: Yes, so you had to make sure that you had shoes polished, right, and hose mended. MC: Oh yes. And clean uniforms, of course, the hospital washed and ironed our uniforms so there was no excuse for coming in a dirty uniform. MF: When you started your training you started out as a probee right? For the first six months. Did you just start to learn about the hospital, where things were? Tell us about being a probee. MC: Yes, we were on the floor. You know, I was trying to think it was quite soon after we got there, we were in schooling for awhile and then we were on the floor. I remember one of the first times I was on the floor I went into this room, the man I was assigned to, and he was kind of half off the bed and he was dead. MF: Oh my goodness. MC: And it was not expected. I remember going back to my room that night and crying and thinking I don't know if I want to be a nurse. I mean I was only eighteen and it was good. MF: Yes that is true. When you had your capping and pinning ceremony, where did that take place? MC: It took place down at the Fourth ward and that is down on about 23rd and Jefferson. MF: Okay. MC: I remember after, the bishop of that ward said, he was quite upset, he said, "We don't allow candles or fire." And we had the candlelight ceremony, we came with our burning candles. So we were glad we didn't tell him. 4 MF: Just ask for forgiveness then. MC: Yes. MF: So after that you had regular duty. Is that how that worked after the six months was over? MC: Yes. MF: You started your regular duty where you were on from like seven to seven or three to eleven… MC: Yes and they always worked it around our classes. Our classes were usually afternoon over at the nursing home. MF: You had doctors that would come and they would teach part of your classes. MC: We also had classes down at Weber. Chemistry, Bacteriology… MF: Did you have professors from the U? MC: In the later years we did. I remember…boy, he taught Pharmacology. He was a professor and he was hard, oh Pharmacology… MF: I bet. MC: I almost quit. MF: That would be tough. MC: Yes, we had quite a few come. MF: Tell us a little bit about the medicines, how you had to measure your doses. Someone was telling us about morphine, how they had to measure the morphine, it was a pretty crazy deal with the glass syringes and everything. MC: Oh yes. Yes, that is something that now they have sterile things and they are disposable and in those days we had glass syringes and we had to pull the 5 morphine in to the correct amount. We would try to get the exact amount so you didn't have to push any back up into the vial. And if you did get a little bit more you were supposed to put it out in the sink. You know, because they didn't want it contaminated. And then we sterilized those syringes. The equipment was so old and ugly looking that I can't imagine that it was too sterile. Maybe I shouldn't be saying these things. MF: You had to reuse everything. MC: Yes. Nothing was disposable. I remember it was called a Wagonstein drain that they would put into the stomach and icky stuff would come out into a bottle. We would have to dump it down and wash the bottles and clean them and send them down to central supply where they were sterilized and sent back. MF: You had to reuse everything because nothing was disposable. MC: Yes. MF: When you had the day shift, what did you start out doing? MC: It depended whether you were…well it was our third year that we were in charge and they would assign you patients and you would just go check each patient and… MF: Make sure that they are okay. MC: …and then get your medications ready and your treatments ready. They didn't have…now, quite often, one person does all the treatments. MF: So you did pretty much everything. MC: We did everything. 6 MF: And you worked on every floor, you worked in every unit so you were trained in every aspect of the hospital. MC: Yes. MF: What was your favorite floor? MC: The medical floor was hard because I remember thinking, you know, the surgical floor people get operated on and they are well and they go home but the medical floor people died. It was kind of hard. I remember the two nurses down there were really nuts. They made it fun. Even though it was a sad, depressing situation they were an awful lot of fun when you are on days with them. You mentioned Dorothy Bird. I remember how nice she was to the students. She was a few years ahead of me. And some of the nurses weren't too nice. And some of the doctors were kind of rude to you. I don't know why really. MF: Because they were better, you know, they seemed like they were, you know, better. MC: They thought they were above us or something. I just remember how Dorothy Bird helped us. She was just fun and she was always there. MF: Yes. I think she is the same way today. She is very kind. MC: Yes, she is a lovely, lovely lady. MF: Yes. Do you remember any traditions or any thing you used to do in the summer while you were at the nurse's home? MC: What did the other girls tell you? 7 MF: They just talked about how they would have one week vacations and they took a trip up to the canyon and they would spend a week up there at somebodys cabin or they would go to Pineview. MC: We would go to Pineview occasionally but I never enjoyed that too much. It always just seemed so hot and dirty and I never liked to lay out because I didn't like to be hot. But we would go up there and go swimming just occasionally. When we had our week off I would always get on the bus and go up to Tremonton and spend it with my family. MF: They said they also had trips to… MC: I don't remember. MF: I think that was like in the 20s and 30s that some of them had said. MC: I do remember they had a summer party up the canyon…but I had to work and I didn't get to go. MF: At that time were you required to attend church on Sunday or was it your choice to go? MC: There was nothing like that. We had devotionals every Tuesday night that we went to. I wasn't L.D.S., there were two different groups, the ones who went to church and the ones that partied. And I didn't party so I went to church with them and then finally I was baptized. MF: Oh good. MC: It was a good experience. MF: That is good. I know some of them said that if they didn't go to church, it was in the late 20s and 30s, they would lose privileges for their weekend or night out. 8 MC: Yes. I have heard that. We had to be in by ten o'clock every night. MF: That was doors locked, lights off. Is that how it was? MC: Yes. And if you got home after that time you would have to go over to the hospital and the supervising nurse would have to bring you over. You would usually get called in to the nursing office the next morning. MF: That is usually how that goes? Did you know any of the Dee family? Were you associated with any of them? MC: Elizabeth… MF: Stewart? MC: …Stewart. I remember her a little but not much. I remember we had a Halloween party and we had graves and we had a grave with Thomas D. Dee's gravestone and we were called into the office for that too. We had to take that down. That wasn't too respectful they thought. MF: What were some procedures you had to do? Somebody was telling us you had to sharpen your needles. Did you have to do that at that time? MC: Oh yes. MF: Sharpen them… MC: And sterilize them. I remember so well one time this one girl, she was a funny girl, we were up on the baby floor, the nursery was down at the end and we were down there and we could smell the nipples burning. This gal, her name was Madge, and she was up there kind of visiting and somebody yelled, "Madge! Your nipples are burning." And she said, "Oh I don't think so." And ran down the hall. 9 MF: How funny. MC: We worked hard but we had a lot of fun and we had a better time than the earlier ones did. MF: It seems like as far as the restrictions, you still learned but it seemed like it was less controlling if you wanted to get married and still be a nurse you could do that at that time or did you still have to be single? MC: No. In fact, one of the girls in our class was the first one. Her parents fought for her to stay in. I think they might have even had a lawyer or something. MF: Really? MC: And she did stay in and finish nursing. But it was her last year that she got married. MF: Yesterday we were talking to Grace Locke Willard and she said that her friend…I always say it wrong, is it Ella or Eva Merrill...Ella Merrill? MC: Ella Merrill. MF: Yes. MC: She was a married lady. MF: She said she got kicked out…she had six more months but she got married and so they kicked her out. MC: Yes she was kicked out and then she came back and finished with our class. MF: And she was with your class. Okay. MC: Yes. MF: Okay so she was '52 because she didn't say when she graduated. MC: I believe so. 10 MF: Oh good. MC: They were just quite controlling. MF: Okay let us see. When you had graduation, it was in '52 right? May or June, I can't remember what they had on there. MC: I was thinking of the University of Utah. I can't remember either. MF: Do you remember where it was held? MC: Oh yes. It was in what is now the, what ward is that? It was a church on 27th street kind of near the Dee Hospital. I have got it here. Oh my goodness. I don't even have where it is. MF: So it was in September. MC: Class of '52. It was the Mount Ogden Ward and it was September 12th. MF: How many did you have in your class? Your class was one of the bigger classes? MC: We started out with about thirty-five, we ended up with nineteen. MF: After graduation did you stay at the Dee Hospital? MC: After I graduated I was at the Dee Hospital for a short time. Then I went down to the University of Utah. We had credit with the University. MF: Yes. MC: For two years our credit was with Weber State and then the third year it was University. So I went down there and worked nights at the Shriner's Hospital. And I went to my classes at the University. Part of that training was a public health affiliation. And they assigned me down to New Mexico and I was in Santa Fe for three months. And at the end of the three months, the girl I went with 11 married a doctor down there. She had known him for I don't know how many weeks. She married this doctor and they said I could ride back with them but, you know, they were newlyweds. So I took the bus over to where my other friends were at Tohatchi. It was funny because the bus station closed after nine o'clock or so and it was a Saturday night. There were drunk Indians all over the place, laying in the gutter. I was nervous and I thought they had forgot to pick me up. Well they came finally and what they had done is they had gone out on the reservation to pick up a little Indian girl who had a scholarship to BYU and she was going to ride home with us in our car. My husband was with them. Well he wasn't my husband at the time. Anyway that is where I met him. MF: Oh fun. MC: So it was good I took the bus over there. Anyway, we drove home, we had bags on top of the car, about six people in the car. The one girl, it was funny, she never got things quite finished. Mary Louise, she was an instructor at the U just recently. I don't know if she is now, I haven't talked to her. I think she is retired now but she was such a good student but she just didn't get things finished. She had this big bag of laundry that she had brought down with her because she wanted to iron it. We brought it back with us three months later and she still hadn't ironed it. MF: That is a good story. When you got back did you finish at the University of Utah? So you had your bachelors, right? MC: Yes. MF: What did you do after that with your nursing degree? 12 MC: I came up here to the Dee and I worked on the psychiatric ward for about three years. Then I got married and my husband had a little girl. He had a dental practice and I got pregnant right away so I quit work. Then I started helping my husband in his dental office. MF: That is good. MC: And it was funny, in 1970 I believe it was, Miss Fujiki…do you know anything about Miss Fujiki? MF: I have just heard her name. MC: She was a lovely little lady and she called me from the University of Utah and she said they had lots of, not scholarships, but…well they help you pay. Anyway, she wanted me to come and get my masters and I thought that would really be great, you know? MF: Yes. MC: And I said, "You know, I am pregnant with my eleventh child." And she said, "Melva, you can do it." And I talked to Lynn, my husband, and he said, "Well you have got to make up your own mind but I think it would be really hard for you." Then I talked to a doctor friend of mine and he said, "You can do it. Orphans survive." Then I thought, you know, I better not. I mean there really wasn't anything that I wanted to do with it. It would be more… MF: Just to say you did it. MC: …just to say I did it. So I didn't. Just helped my husband in his dental office. MF: That was probably good though. He probably liked that, to be able to work with him. 13 MC: Yes. In fact, then some years later after I realized I had let my license lapse I felt bad about it. I felt, "Shoot, I shouldn't have done that." So I went back to school, up to Weber here and had to take a lot of hours and I remember I had to work sixty hours on the floor, I don't remember exactly but it was a good experience for me. So I renewed my license again and I went to work at the hospital. This was a little hard with all the kids at home. Lynn said, "Why don't you just come and help me in the office?" So I quit again and went back to the dental office. MF: Well we appreciate you letting us come. If you want to, we will probably leave the camera on and then you can just show us your pictures and talk to us about your pictures. MC: Well they are not grand or anything. MF: We are excited to see your pictures. Are you coming to the luncheon in September? MC: I plan on it, yes. I just got a picture of the hospital and the nurses home. MF: Oh good. MC: That is my roommate. MF: Oh fun. What was her name? MC: Jackie Barnard Sweringen. MF: Okay. Oh fun. MC: Here is our class song. MF: Oh good. MC: And here is the just announcing the dealer night. MF: That you were having. 14 MC: This is…she was our instructor and this is my roommate. I went in to the nursing program with a scholarship and after six months she got the same scholarship so we both went through that. These were our beds and our little light with the rose that we got. Here is the nursing home again. All these are just some of the girls that were in there. MF: That is fun. Faye Ball had newspaper articles that she let me borrow and it was so fun to just sit and look at all the fun, so exciting. Oh and your capping ceremony. MC: Our capping ceremony and a picture of the girls. Here is announcing our capping ceremony in the paper. MF: And then you received your one stripe. MC: Yes the second year we got our second stripe and then our third stripe and then it went around. These are some of the ladies. So you know her? MF: I don't. Ruth Swenson. MC: She was up at the college and I have wondered what ever happened. Oh this isn't very nice. This is a funny thing that they had an announcement on. The girl that did this got in trouble for that also. MF: Isn't that how that goes? It is like if you are not toeing the line? MC: Oh the hospital again. All my kids were born there except the last three and just pictures about it. And then these are girls who went through. She was my big sister. MF: So she was like a third year? Is that what she was? 15 MC: She was just a year ahead of me. She was good. This was funny, down at the State hospital we had to spend three months down there for our psychiatric training and there was a little old lady named Becky Born and she would pull her blankets apart and make little circles and she called them "whirly bobbins." And she gave me two of them. And these are people down at the state hospital. This is the nursing home. This was funny, there was a flood and there was a baby being born up in Morgan and so this guy was flying things up there and they wanted a picture in the paper. So there was a picture in the paper of that. MF: Oh how funny. MC: These are some of the teachers we had. This is our commencement exercise. MF: Oh good, that is your class. That is a great picture. MC: We are now in the same stake. We go there and I sit and look and remember how they gave us a dozen roses. MF: So you were a queen for a day? MC: Yes. MF: Oh fun. MC: Later pictures. These are all nurses. We would go to that lunch and then we would have our class meeting over here, sometimes the class before and the class after. MF: Oh good. MC: This is funny, these are all obituaries of people… MF: From Weber. 16 MC: …that I have known. You know, the doctors and nurses. Most of them are nurses. MF: I copied one that Faye had and it was this lady, she was the Director of Nursing, it was Annie J. Hall. MC: I didn't know her. MF: It was fun to have these, obviously we are not going to have very many from that era because they are all gone. So it was kind of nice to have those obituaries so we know about them. MC: Now she was the head of our nursing group for awhile. MF: Okay. MC: She was a lovely, sweet person. Doctor Phoenix. And she was the head of nursing all the time that I was there. MF: That is good. MC: She worked in the operating room. She was strict. He was a male nurse and was so good to us younger nurses. You know, if we had a problem he would help us. I remember one day I was giving this guy a bath and he called me up and said, "Miss Castleton, you are wanted out here." And I thought, uh oh, what have I done. I got out there and he said, "You young girls shouldn't have to bathe those old men." This guy had kind of dirty tattoos all over him. MF: Oh yes. MC: And so he took care of my patient. MF: Oh that is nice. MC: He was really nice. 17 MF: And this way you know at least we have a little history, at least we have a little background. MC: Yes. MF: It did help. MC: Doctor Lindsey Curtis was our OB. MF: Oh yes, I heard his name. That is great. MC: I just put this in because I thought it was so funny. We got a Christmas card. MF: "Will do oral surgery for food." That is great. Oh I like that. MC: It is funny, I have got some pictures of me with a baby when they were born and I have two of them up in my bedroom and I said to my daughter, "I wish I had the other kids." But I made them baby books and they got the picture and in those days you couldn't copy them. MF: Exactly, you couldn't. MC: So I have got to get each one of them and copy their picture. MF: That is good. MC: He was wonderful. Doctor Lowe. Well a lot of them were. MF: It is nice they are that way though because some of them could be mean. We have heard all stories, some good, some…you know how that goes. MC: Do you know…it is funny some of them that seemed really mean when you were a graduate and got to know them they treated you better and sometimes you just understood them a little more. But I think it was a little bit of arrogance. MF: We appreciate you letting us come visit with you. MC: It was nice meeting you. 18 MF: We appreciate you calling. This has been a fun project. We are really excited about it. Have a great day, and thanks again.

The bay was named by Captain Tobias Furneaux in 1773 in response to the many Aboriginal fires he saw burning on its shore. People visiting the area today often conclude that the name refers to the play of light on the water. Beach activities and bird-watching are popular in this beautiful reserve. The region includes some 30 kilometres of coastline where there are more extraordinary white sand beaches. The four-day Bay of Fires Walk features some of Tasmania's best attributes – fine local foods, cool-climate wines and pristine landscapes. Guests stay in permanent camps along the way finishing at the stylish Bay of Fires Lodge. Walks operate between October and May. |

20 Years Ago: Alice in Chains Release 'Jar of Flies'
By 1994, Alice in Chains were not only one of grunge's biggest names, but already counted among the world's most popular rock bands. So popular that what started as a casual attempt to blow off some creative steam – the brief collection of acoustic songs named 'Jar of Flies' released on Jan. 25, 1994 – became the first EP in music history to enter the Billboard charts at No. 1.
Of course, AIC had already shown the softer side to their oft-bombastic alternative metal with 1992's similarly low-key 'Sap' short-player. But based on the more abundant evidence provided by electrified full-lengths like 'Facelift' and 'Dirt,' few anticipated that the band might reprise their only modestly successful sonic detour away from their core strengths.
Not least the band itself, which, according to lead singer Layne Staley, wanted nothing more than to find a quiet place in which to hole up for a while (choosing Seattle's own London Bridge Studio) following the punishing tour in support of 'Dirt,' and the loss of their Seattle crash pad. One week later, the founding threesome of Staley, guitarist Jerry Cantrell, drummer Sean Kinney, and still relatively new bassist Mike Inez, emerged with all of seven new tracks, written and recorded in a torrent of inspiration.
Some of these, including the lead-off single, 'No Excuses,' its follow-up, 'I Stay Away,' and 'Jar of Flies'' opener 'Rotten Apple,' showcased full band performances – their customary intensity reeled back significantly, but still not entirely foreign to fans of popular melodic album cuts such as 'Bleed the Freak' and 'Rooster.' The greatest surprises were saved for uncommonly spartan, restrained and simply gorgeous musings like 'Nutshell,' 'Don't Follow' and the instrumental 'Whale and Wasp' – all of which laid bare the vulnerabilities of AIC's musical soul for all to see like never before.
And perhaps it was this unexpected invitation to look behind the band's customary wall of metallic guitars that appealed to so many long-time fans, while seducing countless new ones along the way. In any case, the proof of 'Jar of Flies'' broad listener appeal and creative triumph was immediately confirmed by its astonishing, chart-topping success, and then perpetuated by its lasting legacy as a high water mark in the Alice in Chains catalog.

DES MOINES – Earlier today, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) communicated a conditional certification to the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) regarding the proposed shallow water habitat (SWH) project at the Little Sioux Bend segment of the Missouri River. The certification establishes specific conditions that reinforce the State of Iowa's guiding flood control and nutrient reduction principles that must be met before the Corps may proceed with the project.
The conditional certification, signed by DNR Director Chuck Gipp, included the following statement, "The outlined conditions take common sense steps to reinforce the State of Iowa's flood control focus in the management of the Missouri River. In addition, the outlined methodology changes the status quo approach to SWH projects and requires concrete steps to reduce the amount of nutrients introduced to the Missouri River."
"This conditional certification demonstrates another example of the State of Iowa incorporating stakeholder feedback to improve public policy. We incorporated the feedback from the public stakeholder meeting on June 28, in Onawa, Iowa. We strongly believe that we have found a way for these projects to be completed in the right way – a way that reinforces the State of Iowa's focus on flood control and nutrient reduction," said Gipp.
The conditional certification approach will be the baseline approach for the State of Iowa for similar SWH projects. The State of Iowa also encourages a broader conversation to be led by the Corps and the United States Congress on the long-term effectiveness of these projects.
"Increasing river channel diversity will provide benefits to native fish and wildlife species that inhabit the Missouri River which we support as long as the conditions we have laid out are met. In the long run, improving habitat conditions along the Missouri River will be beneficial to Iowa's fish and wildlife populations which then contributes to improving our quality of life and making Iowa a more attractive place for people to live and work," said Gipp.

Built to Order
Dec 2, 2009 11:47 AM, By Jessaca Gutierrez
From the ground up, the tenants of the David Braley Cardiac, Vascular, and Stroke Research Institute help envision the facility's complex and sophisticated AV systems design.
The Atrium
In the atrium, a 22'x14' custom, stretched-fabric screen acts as a projection screen for overflow from the auditorium and as another video space for the facility to pass information to passers-by. Initially, the team talked about going the traditional route and hanging a fixed screen from the ceiling or a motorized screen that would come out the ceiling, but both ideas didn't work with the modern, all-glass design aesthetic. The custom screen blends with the clean lines of the atrium. When the screen isn't in use, it looks like another architectural detail.
The projector is a 7000-lumen Christie LX700 that's embedded between the bulkhead of the first and second floors. Duocom had specified a 15,000-lumen projector because of the flood of ambient light in the atrium, but budgetary considerations dictated the use of the lower-brightness model and Crestron-controllable shades that can close individual banks of shades, the shades behind the screen, or the shades all around the atrium for sunny days. There are wired and wireless versions of the Crestron controller, so a person presenting in the atrium could present anywhere without using the wall-mounted control panel.
Along with almost the same input capabilities as in the auditorium, there are overflow connection points should the facility bring in a press company for a big announcement, for example. The system allows the press company to plug in and record a feed from the matrix or to feed the matrix with a camera of its own.
For audio, Duocom installed two small Tannoy QFlex 8 line arrays. Because DBCVSRI is part of Hamilton Health's network of hospitals, a dedicated AV services team can troubleshoot most system problems remotely through the Crestron XPanel control system instead of contracting these services through Duocom.
Yusuf and Weitz and their research teams are still in their infancy of envisioning the endless possibilities the AV design has brought forth. With the respect and favor the facility has garnered, Duocom was given the AV contract for another hospital in the Hamilton Health network.
Standardizing the Experience
With retro fits, integrators face putting in new systems that don't provide the same experience and controls as the existing systems that are still in use. A new build provides integrators with the opportunity to standardize on the experience where ever possible so that there is an overarching experience and design architecture for the user and the AV services who have to troubleshoot issues. If occupants can walk into any room and already know how to operate the technology there, they're not only more likely to use the technology but be more efficient as well. This was the thinking behind the other conference and boardroom spaces of the DBCVSRI. Although the first floor of the Cardiac, Vascular, and Stroke Research Institute is the crowning jewel, the other conferencing spaces provide some of the same experiences using similar if not the same technology that's found in the auditorium, atrium, and hallway. In the five standard meeting rooms that occupy the other floors of the facility, Duocom put in 3800-lumen Christie projectors, a SmartBoard SB680, and a smaller Crestron C2N-FT-TPS4 control system that are identical to the versions used on the first floor. Having the same projector manufacturer continues the theme while the Crestron control panel allows the room to be put on the network grid so problems can be troubleshot remotely.
Although the standard board rooms are not large and not all necessarily demand the high light output of the LX380, Duocom designed the systems occupying these meeting rooms to fit the least common denominator. That delineating factor was ambient light. Some of the rooms have windows that make it necessary to have 4000 lumens.
"But what we did was we said we're going to put the projector in and we're going to make it the projector that you need for the brightest room and in all the other rooms," Prashad says. "We'll just set the projector to Eco mode [in the rooms that don't need more light output] so it projects it at less lumens, doubling the lamp life for those rooms. Not only did we have the ability to standardize, which makes service easier and asset management easier because we only have to keep one spare bulb instead of one for each model. They stretch out the consumable costs."

Albany (October 9, 2012) – A new report by the non-profit Tax Foundation ranks New York again dead last among all states for its business climate. That, according to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), is an embarrassing distinction that leaders in Albany must change.
"New York ranks in the bottom ten in every tax category except the corporate tax," said NFIB State Director Mike Durant. "Governor Cuomo said two years ago that New York has no future as the tax capital of the United States, but that's exactly what we are and unless that changes none of the other reforms will matter."
The Tax Foundation ranks New York 50th overall. The state ranks 50th on income taxes, 45th on unemployment taxes, 45th on property taxes, 38th in sales taxes and 23rd in corporate taxes.
"We're leading the country in all the wrong categories," said Durant. "The two biggest taxes for small businesses are the income tax and the property tax, and those are higher than almost anywhere else.
"If we're serious about changing New York's reputation as a place to do business, then we need more than a slick advertising campaign," he said. "We need real reform that starts with fewer mandates on local governments which drive up property taxes and we need lower, flatter income taxes that reward people for working and investing here."

The ring had a very delicate, thin band. The tiny diamonds were clear and bright in spite of their size. The only reason I sent the ring back was that the prongs were very sharp. I was afraid I would scratch myself or snag the ring on fabric.
The ring is very nice next to my wedding set. Because the ring is very delicate and small wasn't sure it would work for me until I put my wedding set on which really enhances the ring. Together they are awesome which is the reason for the purchase. The price is good but don't be deceived by the photo, the ring is very dainty.
Wow is all I can say and the price was reasonable. I am very pleased
I have been looking for an anniversary ring for my wife for several months, found a similar ring at a big name chain, however the price was 3x what I paid here. Was a little nervous with the sizing issue, if it wasn't correct who could I get to adjust it but didn't matter the was perfect. Made it a very Merry Christmas and will use Overstock.com again when shopping for the more $$$ item.
The pricing is so good that all the man in love should buy this ring. It's a good investment due to the great quality.

condor sweater
by SESSUN
French label Sessùn launched in 1995 after designer Emma Francios took a college trip to South America. Deeply impressed by the culture and artisan weavers and embroiders she met there, she decided to leave her masters in economic anthropology and pursue design. Sessùn began as a small collection of accessories drawing inspiration from the South American mountains, using natural materials, and quickly developed into a full range of clothing, shoes and accessories. The collections tell a story by mixing textures, prints, and details teaming with an artful ease and a range luxe of fabrics.

Sebetto, Jacobs or Reed... 2011 Champion's Name to Be Etched On The FAST Kistler Cup This Saturday |
Wednesday, 07 September 2011 | |
By Scott Porter - FAST Public Relations (Maumee, OH) The stage is set for one of the most intriguing championship nights in the three year history of the Kistler Racing Products Fremont/Attica Sprint Title (F.A.S.T.) Championship Series presented by Engine Pro & PAC Valve Springs. After back-to-back visits to Engine Pro Victory Lane at Attica Raceway Park, Bryan Sebetto has vaulted into the lead by a slim 13-points over veteran Dean Jacobs in the F.A.S.T. Kistler Cup point standings. But sitting just 32-points back in third place is defending F.A.S.T. Champion Byron Reed who looks to hoist the Kistler Cup yet again. The 21-race championship series between Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway will finally conclude this Saturday, September 10th at Fremont where the $10,000 winner's share of the cash and prizes will ultimately be decided. The Burmeister Racing team adamantly claims they do not "points race", but go for victory lane instead. The team, based out of Fremont, Ohio and owned by Fremont Speedway Hall of Famer Sonny Burmeister, put together an impressive month of August which saw them claim two wins, a second and third place finish. Those four podium finishes have put them into the position where they are today as the front runner heading into the $3,000 to win finale. Bryan Sebetto, 28 years old, is a product of Northern Ohio dirt track racing where he cut his teeth in the dirt trucks before developing his racing skills through the ranks of the 305 sprints all before landing a ride in a 410 sprint car. The simplest equation to clinch his first-career F.A.S.T. championship is to finish inside the top-3 finish on Saturday aboard the JLH General Contractors, Steven Mapus Tools, Burns Petroleum backed #16. Sebetto's average finish in the eight F.A.S.T. events contested at Fremont Speedway is a 4th-place finish. The Seeling Motorsports entry driven by Dean Jacobs has been a constant fixture inside the top-5 throughout the 2011 season. In fact the Wooster, Ohio native has finished inside the top-5 in all but two of the 15 F.A.S.T. events contested to date and has been on a streak of eleven straight. The Northwest Ohio Towing and Recovery, NAPA Truck and Auto Center backed #97 looks to visit victory lane for the first time under the F.A.S.T. banner, which ultimately could play a role in winning the $10,000 championship if Sebetto were to finish 4th or worse during the feature event. Dean looks to build upon the three runner-up finishes at "The Track That Action Built," but hopes not to be chasing Sebetto to the line. The F.A.S.T. Championship would be the second step for Jacobs, who wrapped up the Attica track championship just a few short weeks ago, in claiming the $3,000 bonus for anyone who can claim the F.A.S.T. title and both track championships this season. Jacob's average finish in the eight F.A.S.T. events contested at Fremont Speedway is a 4th-place finish. B&S Racing's Byron Reed sits in third place with what might seem like a daunting task ahead in order to claim his second career F.A.S.T. title. Two sub-par performances at Attica Raceway Park have put "The Monclova Missile" in a 32-point deficit going into the finale at Fremont, but a reassuring fact for the 9-time Northern Ohio track champion is knowing that he has finished inside the top-5 in all eight events contested at Fremont. He has the highest average finish of the three drivers (3rd-place) and has visited Engine Pro Victory Lane twice at "The Track That Action Built." A third visit to victory lane would help put the icing on the cake if Jacobs were to finish in 6th-place or worse and if Sebetto struggled to an 11th or worse finish. Qualifying could play a key role in deciding what will happen on Saturday. While none of the three title contenders have posted quick time in 2011, Sebetto holds a slim advantage in starting the highest in the feature events. Both Sebetto and Reed have picked up wins while starting on the front row and from charging to the win from outside the top-5 rows. Only Reed and Jacobs have picked up precious bonus points thanks to the KSE Steering Hard Charger, which is a 2-point bonus in the F.A.S.T. Series. While the attention will be on the top-3 in points another interesting battle brews between 2009 F.A.S.T. Champion Craig Mintz and "The Ohio Gas Man" Phil Gressman for fourth place in the F.A.S.T. Kistler Cup point standings. The two have flip flopped 4th place numerous times since July, but currently Mintz claims a slim 3-point margin over Gressman. Mintz moved back into the top-5 in June and seems to have found his stride behind the Top Gun Enterprises new GF1 Chassis by Ti22 Performance. Since claiming the hard charger and a podium finish at Attica the first weekend of July, Mintz has gone on to collect three more top-5 runs including a runner up finish at Fremont. Gressman has picked up feature wins at both Northern Ohio speed plants, but has struggled to find the consistency that the De Genzman Racing Enterprises, Kear's Speed Shop backed #53 is capable of. Gressman will need to finish at least four positions higher than Mintz in order to take back fourth in the final standings. It appears to be etched in stone that Mike Linder will hold down the 6th place in F.A.S.T. points if both he and Gressman transfer into Saturday's $3,000 to win feature event which starts 22-cars. The same can be said for Brad Haudenschild who holds a 77-point advantage over Kevin Lee for 7th-place. Haudenschild has also clinched the 2011 Hot Shot Engine Heater F.A.S.T. Rookie of the Year. The next battle brews in 8th place between Lee and Whitehouse, Ohio's Todd Heller who sits just 5-points back. Lee will have to stay on the tail tank of Heller's G.L. Heller Company backed #14h in order to claim the position. Duane Zablocki looks to finish inside the top-10 for the first time in his racing career and a top-15 run could help solidify that. Sitting 24-points outside the pay window is Brad Bowman. After losing a motor late in the season Brad has been hopping rides in hopes of finishing inside the top-10 during his rookie season behind the wheel of a 410 sprint car. The final chapter of the 2011 Fremont/Attica Sprint Title will be written once the dust settles on the 1/3-mile clay oval located inside historic Sandusky County Fairgrounds. Gates on Saturday will open at 4:00 pm with racing starting at 7:00 pm at "The Track The Action Built." Visit www.fremontohspeedway.com for more information.

The city of Fort Dodge closed a wastewater pumping station near the Des Moines River due to severe flooding, resulting in a significant discharge of wastewater to the Des Moines River.
During normal conditions, this station pumps about 250,000 gallons of untreated wastewater to the treatment plant per day. The wet weather conditions create the potential for that number to raise as high as 2.5 million gallons bypassed per day. The city anticipates discharges will continue at least through Sunday, when the river is expected to crest.
Motors at the pump station had to be disconnected and raised to prevent damage from rising flood waters.
Fort Dodge is just one of many northwest and north central Iowa towns discharging wastewater because of the high volumes of wastewater coming in to the treatment plants. Discharging wastewater may be necessary to prevent basement backups or protect wastewater treatment facilities.
The DNR advises people to stay out of flood waters because of swiftly moving waters can be dangerous to people, recreators and vehicles. Also, flood waters may have elevated bacteria levels.
The DNR will continue to monitor the situation.

MPD SPECIAL FASHION REPORT: Brewers heels
FASHION WEEK February 25th, 2012
So this is something that is actually happening in real life right now...
Stephanie: I, as are many of you, am riding high on Braun winning his appeal Thursday and then him absolutely crushing his statement Friday. (Did you guys see his hair? And that navy blue button down jacket thing with all of the pockets? Am I starting to like this new Braun?) But then Vince brought me back down to Earth and by Earth I mean a special Hell on Earth where Milwaukee Brewer themed suede pumps are a thing.
The website reads, "PLEASE BE CERTAIN YOU WANT THESE SHOES BEFORE YOU BUY. Due to demand, these shoes are currently available by Pre-Order ONLY."
What stupid twats are ordering those fucking things? I love the Brewers with my entire being, but I do not want to wear high heels plastered with blue and yellow to a baseball game (you all know my thoughts on heels at the ballpark by now). Oh and they are suede! SUEDE!! Do you know what beer does to suede?? Well you are gonna find out when you wear them to opening day, dickholes.
I guess, we must now begin to mentally prepare ourselves for the parade of fat chicks we will see waddling into Miller Park wearing these heels with jean skirts this summer.
Vince: These heels are kind of conflicting to me. I mean, not liking the Brewers is like number three on Vince's Oh No-No's List (I learned my lesson on that one (that intro..ugh.)) I need to be with someone who loves this team at least 1/10th as much as I do. A girl wearing these heels would be a good sign that she might be worthy of hanging with vintown. On the other hand, oh my god are you frickin' kidding me? The only people who should own these heels are the kind of people who let their kids dress them before a night out on the town. Pink bra? Sure! White tank top? Sure! Brewers heels? Sure! These girls don't care what they look like, they only care that they are wearing clothes and that those clothes are covering their naughty parts (but not too much, wink wink.)
Actually, you know what, I'm sorry there is one other type of person who would like to own these. Really weird roleplaying sex perverts. If you want your wife/girlfriend to dress up like Ryan Braun on your birthday and play a couple rounds of bat and ball with you, that's your business. Buy these heels and never break up with her because she is ruined for the rest of humanity.
Look, I love the Brewers. LOVE the Brewers and the idea of a down ass bitch wearing her Brewers pride on her sleeve (feet?) is appealing to me, but this is just too far. This isn't Nam. This is fashion. There are rules.

Chalk talk: Falcons' template may be Bears' best bet against Lions
BY ADAM L. JAHNS firstname.lastname@example.com December 28, 2012 9:38PM
Updated: January 31, 2013 6:37AM
Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall is sure of one thing heading into Sunday's do-or-die game against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field: Scoring one touchdown, as the Bears did in the teams' first meeting, won't be good enough.
''If we score more than one touchdown, we'll have a shot,'' Marshall said. ''We were watching film again [of the Bears' 13-7 win against the Lions on Oct. 22], and we left a lot out there. We were in a bunch of third-and-longs, and we can't do that.
"As players, we have to step up and put our team in a better position. I really like the game plan this week. The guys are excited about our opportunity and where we stand. A game like this, I expect us to come together and get it done.''
The Bears' plan always involves ways of getting Marshall one-on-one coverage. Offensive coordinator Mike Tice did a great job of that last week against the Arizona Cardinals, but the Lions have a different base defense, along with their own strengths and weaknesses.
If the Bears reach their goals of limiting third-and-longs and establishing a running game against the Lions, a play such as the one diagrammed here can work. The Atlanta Falcons used the play-action play to score their first touchdown last week against the Lions — a 44-yard touchdown pass from Matt Ryan to Roddy White on third-and-one.
The Falcons have their "22" personnel in — two tight ends, two backs and one receiver. It's a personnel package the Bears like to use. The Lions have four linebackers in for the third-and-short situation.
Ryan sells the play-action fake to running back Michael Turner well. The movement of the offensive line (left) and the fullback (right), as well as the tight end going in motion, helps. The Lions' linebackers and safety Don Carey play the run.
Tight end Tony Gonzalez and White are the only two to run routes, and both get one-on-one coverage. White gains a step on cornerback Chris Houston with a stop-and-go route. And Ryan hits him in stride for a touchdown.
Similar plays could work for the Bears on Sunday.
The Bears have to win to have a chance at the postseason.
''At the end of the day, you want to get in the show,'' Tice said. ''You want to get in the dance. You want to have a chance. You want to have an opportunity. We can't control our own destiny, but we can control our half of it, which is winning a football game. That's what we're intent on doing.''

On one side of the Old North Bridge in Concord, Mass. stood a motley collection of patriots whose eagerness, reliability and strength was all that stood between well-armed and trained British regulars who were determined to put an end to a fragile concept called freedom. These "minutemen" were farmers, tradesmen and workers. They were more familiar with plows, printing presses and blacksmith's bellows than the muskets they kept close at hand.
But they could always be depended on to respond quickly to challenges that tested the young nation. Today, their enduring image stands on many desks in the United States Congress. The Guardian of Small Business statue, carved in the likeness of the classic image of a minuteman, is bestowed by the National Federation of Independent Business upon those Representatives and Senators who display the courage to protect and defend America's small-business sector. This award is no mere token of gratitude; it must be earned.
Like those brave protectors of freedom from 1775, many congressional lawmakers often face significant odds in their efforts to guide the nation towards a safe and secure future. Their challengers place politics ahead of national interests and view bigger and more intrusive government as the solution to America's ills.
It takes courage and determination to do big things for small business, to stand firm when powerful forces attempt to run roughshod over the hard-working entrepreneurs of Main Street. Those who possess such fortitude never hesitate to cast votes favorable to small-business positions 70 percent or more during each two-year Congress.
In the next few weeks, many contests will be fought across the nation. In the tradition of democracy, the final results will be determined at millions of ballot boxes. NFIB's PAC, SAFE Trust, is currently issuing its endorsements of candidates who have done and will do big things in Congress. Many of these are Guardians of Small Business who have stood strong for our members and voted for affordable healthcare, sensible regulations and lower taxes. Also, NFIB is supporting many open seat and challenger candidates who have pledged their commitment on these issues as well.
By Nov. 6, make sure you have taken at least five steps to help our endorsed candidates: Get informed about key small-business issues, talk to your family and employees about the importance of this election; volunteer to campaign for NFIB-endorsed candidates, help NFIB in its voter education efforts, and, most importantly, vote on Election Day. For more information, go to nfib.com/politics.
This is one of the most crucial elections small business and our nation, in general, have ever faced. Like the standoff at Old North Bridge, this will be a major turning point in the history of America. We must stand firm to protect and defend our nation's vital free enterprise system.
