Washington DC – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice affecting owners of some Newmar motorhomes.
Newmar Corporation is recalling 31 model year 2012 Essex and King Aire motorhomes manufactured Dec. 15, 2010, through Aug. 15, 2011 on a Spartan Motors chassis. These vehicles are equipped with Ametek air pressure gauges that may exceed the air brake pressure accuracy requirements of plus or minus seven percent. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
A low air pressure condition may appear safe to the driver, leaving the operator ignorant of the true condition of the vehicle's air brake system, increasing the risk of a crash.
Spartan Motors will notify the affected owners on behalf of Newmar Corporation. Spartan Motors dealers will replace the air pressure gauge. A notification schedule has not yet been provided. Owners may contact Newmar Corporation at 574-773-7791 or Spartan Motors at 800-582-3454.

In the mid-1990s, I got in on the ground floor of the craft beer revolution and have enjoyed discovering new breweries, beers and styles of beers. That's where the fun lies - in the discovery of new beers. E-mail Todd

While I may not be able to consistently drive the ball straight or sink those 15-footers for birdie time and time again, golf remains near and dear to my heart. I've had the opportunity to walk 18 with Tiger Woods at Baltusrol, share a laugh with Jim Furyk and see young players develop into today's PGA stars. I've even had a chance to tee it up at Pine Valley - twice. Some people don't understand the game, and that's fine. But once you dive into it and see all that it offers, it's easy to get hooked.

For more info, visit www.mexicalibariatric.com or call 1 888 344 3916. Mexicali Bariatric Center, the Americas' choice forGastric Sleeve (VSG)*, Gastric Bypass (RNY) Lap Band and Revision Surgery.
VSG implies a removal of about 85% of the stomach; afterwards, this organ will be shaped as a tube or sleeve. This is a laparoscopic surgery done through five small incisions. Surgeon views through a small camera (laparoscope) inserted in one of these incisions. The stomach -with its new tube shape- is sealed with staples and the dr sutures over this staple line. Some cases imply a further procedure after a gastric sleeve surgery; these possible posterior interventions may include: a Gastric Bypass Surgery (RNY) or Duodenal Switch Surgery, depending on the amount of weight lost on short term after VSG. This "staged" approach reduces any risk had both procedures happen during the same surgery. According to weight lost on the immediate months after the first procedure, the second one should take place between 6 to 18 months after VSG.
Am I a proper candidate for Gastric Sleeve Surgery?The vertical sleeve procedure is supported by well-documented studies of scientific hierarchy and is considered a primary bariatric procedure, just like the Gastric Bypass or Lap Band Surgery. A patient with a BMI of 30 or more is considered a candidate for surgery. Overall health history needs to be taken into consideration as well. Gastric Sleeve Surgery may be an alternative for people not able to return to follow-up appointments, as required by lap band or Realize Band procedures.
Before Weight Loss Surgery...• Quit smoking at least 10 days before surgery. Otherwise, your risks of infection, blood clots, slower than normal healing, pneumonia and other life-threatening after-surgery complications increase. • Pe op Diet. Some patients are required to do a pre op diet for a week or more before being subject to this procedure. Surgeon will give you specific pre op instructions according to your BMI and medical history.
How long does the gastric sleeve surgery take?The patient is under general anesthesia for the procedure, lasting an average of one hour.
After surgery, how long will it take for me to recover?A gastric sleeve implies an inpatient recovery time of a three nights at the hospital and total recovery taking up to 2 weeks. The abdominal region is often sore and swollen for several days. The patient will be prescribed pain-killers. Patients also undergo a readjustment to solid foods by taking a liquid-only diet for ten days, then 10 more days of full liquids, 10 days of soft foods and solids afterwards. Between six months to a year after Gastric Sleeve Surgery, on average our patients lose 94%of excess body weight. Also, patients with diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and/or sleep apnea show improvements after undergoing VSG.
After recovery from VSG...Patients are recommended to:
• Exercise with regularity.
• Learn any technique able to help modify their behavior (not only eating behavior but also related factors such as anxiety, depression, etc.).
• Follow specific dietary instructions for life, like: chewing thoroughly while eating slowly, consuming small quantities of food at a time, swallowing food only after it is completely mashed, as well as avoiding eating and drinking at the same time.
Possible risks and complications derived from Gastric Sleeve Surgery
• Sleeve leaking. The procedure requires some internal stapling in the stomach; there's always a chance that some staples won't hold, thus a chance for leaking to happen. Leaking stomach acids frequently evolve into infection of surrounding tissue and/or other problems which may require the patient to undergo another surgery or draining through tubes.
• Blood clots.
• Re-gain weight. Stomach tissue can stretch.
However, it does have several advantages over gastric banding and other procedures:
• It avoids wound infection.
• There are no foreign objects left in the body as it happens with gastric banding surgery, in which bands may slip, erode or become infected.
• Different to gastric bypass or duodenal switch, gastric sleeve does not imply bypass of the small intestines, so all nutrients are absorbed and very little chance exists of absorption issues.
Other "must know" facts about Gastric Sleeve Surgery...
• It's non-reversible.
• Does not require any adjustments.
• Do not induce nutrient malabsorption.
Does my insurance cover this surgical procedure?Insurers are beginning to cover the cost of gastric sleeve surgery in the US.
About subsequent procedures...Sometimes, the full extent of weight loss may not happen before undergoing a second procedure, such as a gastric bypass or a Duodenal Switch. The natural 2nd procedure after the sleeve is the DS. You should now that for some patients plastic surgery may become necessary after massive weight loss in order to remove excess skin and fat, thus providing the body of a shapely profile. Some common post-bariatric recurring procedures are arm lift, tummy tuck and body lift surgeries. **Body Mass Index is obtained dividing a person's weight by its height

SpaceX has been making a big splash recently with the release of the revolutionary Dragon Version 2. Never before has this military and aerospace (mil/aero) geek seen such a futuristic design that is fully functional. The new Dragon v2 is a major leap forward in manned spaceflight. It features many new, advanced, and life-saving features that this geek will highlight as we explore the Dragon v2 in this blog series.
The SpaceX Dragon Version 2 is designed to deliver a revolutionary, reusable, manned space capsule. The spacecraft is capable of carrying up to seven astronauts and landing virtually anywhere terrestrially; and, after refueling, it can be ready for reuse. In this way, Dragon v2 eliminates the need for an ocean landing, which is a major challenge in myriad interplanetary destinations such as Mars or the moon which lack water on the surface.
The capsule interior looks as though it came straight out of a science-fiction film, with seven seats against a metal, geometric background. Without a doubt, this geek's favorite aesthetic in the entire capsule is the avionics panel. The central control panel features four, wide-format (landscape) monitors with touchscreen pilot controls. The entire panel swings out of the way to facilitate easy, unobstructed capsule entrance and egress.
Safety comes first, so for the first time in history, the Dragon sports a safety system that provides a means of escape throughout the entire launch, from Earth to orbit. Additionally, eight SuperDraco engines are built into the side of the spacecraft and can produce up to 120,000 pounds of axial thrust to carry the passengers to safety in the event of an emergency. SpaceX officials explain that, "this system also enables Dragon v2 to land propulsively on Earth or another planet with the precision of a helicopter"—an impressive feat for a space capsule.
The Dragon currently resupplies the International Space Station under a $1.6 billion Cargo Resupply Services contract with NASA. This geek looks forward to a time when the U.S. can again launch astronauts into space, rather than relying on outsourced rockets or another government-funded launch system (i.e., Russian Federal Space Agency's Soyuz or NASA's defunct Space Shuttle program). More on that next.

The key decision you'll have to make when planning an itinerary in the Lakes is how active you want to be. The Lakeland fells provide some of Britain's best hiking, but there's no shortage of museums, country houses and villages to explore too.

The big draws
Windermere (1 on map)
Stretching for over 10 miles between Ambleside and Newby Bridge, Windermere is not only the largest lake in the Lake District, it's the largest lake anywhere in England. It has been a major tourist attraction since the arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century, and it remains one of the national park's busiest sights, see: windermere-lakecruises.co.uk.
The main focus of attention is touristy Bowness-on-Windermere, where you can brave the quayside crowds before catching a scenic boat trip around the lake and its 18 islands. The western shoreline is much quieter, especially around the wooded trails of Claife Heights and the landscaped grounds of Wray Castle.
Dove Cottage (2)
This whitewashed cottage near Grasmere was William Wordsworth's first home in the Lake District. He arrived in 1799, and remained here for the next nine years with his wife Dora, sister Dorothy and three small children. Now owned by the Wordsworth Trust, the cottage is full of memorabilia, including the poet's ice-skates, his passport, a pair of his reading glasses and a portrait of one of his favourite dogs, Pepper, given to him as a present by Sir Walter Scott. At the back of the cottage is Wordsworth's 'domestic slip of mountain', the half-wild garden where he liked to sit and compose poetry, see: wordsworth.org.uk.
Entry to the cottage is by guided tour (adult/child £7.75/4.50). Tickets are timed to avoid overcrowding, but expect queues in high season. If you know the date you want to visit, you can book online to avoid the queues. The admission price also includes the Wordsworth Museum & Art Gallery next door, which has extensive background on the Romantic movement, including portraits of the major poets and many first editions and manuscripts. Another of Wordsworth's homes, Rydal Mount (rydalmount.co.uk), is nearby and can also be visited.
Open: 9.30am-5.30pm March to October, closes at 4.30pm in winter
Hill Top (3)
This farmhouse in Near Sawrey is where Beatrix Potter created some of her best-known stories. She bought the house in 1905 (funded largely by royalties from her first book, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny) and bequeathed it to the National Trust following her death in 1943. Potter scholars will spot many features from the author's illustrations – including Mrs Tiggywinkle's kitchen and Mr MacGregor's cottage garden – but the huge queues can spoil things. In summer, try to visit early on a weekday — even better, come in low season.
Open: 10am-5.30pm May-Aug, closed on Fridays, shorter hours from September, closed Nov-Feb. Entry free to National Trust members, otherwise adult/child £9/£4.50; nationaltrust.org.uk/hilltop.
Great Langdale (4)
A hallowed name amongst fellwalkers, Great Langdale is home to some of the Lake District's most iconic hikes. Most people choose to tackle the Langdale Pikes, a spiky chain of hills on the valley's northern side, but more experienced hikers might feel up to the challenging circuit along the Crinkle Crags and Bowfell. Whichever you choose, the views are guaranteed to be stirring, and there are few better places for a pint than the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel (odg.co.uk). The official car-parks fill up early, although extra spaces are often available in nearby fields, see: visitcumbria.com.
Keswick (5)
Keswick's fortunes were founded on graphite and slate-mining, but this busy market town is now chiefly worth visiting for its handsome location beside Derwentwater, said to be Beatrix Potter's favourite lake. Cruisers putter across the lake from the jetties beside Hope Park, or there are traditional wooden rowing boats if you want to explore at your own pace, see: keswick.org.uk.
Keswick is also a good place to buy outdoors gear: the traditionalists' choice of shop is George Fisher, (georgefisher.co.uk), renowned for its personal boot-fitting service.
Borrowdale, Buttermere (6) and Honister Slate Mine
With its green fields, cob cottages, drystone walls and rolling fells, Borrowdale seems to sum up the spirit of the Lake District landscape. Neighbouring Buttermere feels altogether wilder and emptier; its twin lakes, Buttermere and Crummock Water, are overlooked by a string of dramatic fells, including Alfred Wainwright's favourite mountain, Haystacks, where his ashes were scattered following his death in 1991, see: honister.com.
Separating the two valleys, the windswept Honister Pass (7) is home to one of the Lake District's last working slate mines, where you can take a 1.5-hour guided tour of the underground shafts of the old Kimberly Mine (adult/child £12.50/£7.50). Longer tours of the 11-mile long Cathedral Mine also run on Friday evenings by arrangement (£19.75 per person), and specialist wildflower and industrial history tours run during the high season.
Honister is also home to the UK's first Via Ferrata rock climb (adult/child £35/£25). Braver souls might like to tackle the new (and nerve-wracking) Via Ferrata Xtreme route. Minimum age for Via Ferrata is 10 years and in high season it's worth booking ahead for this and the mine tours.
The mine's long held (and highly controversial) plans to install the UK's longest zip-wire from the top of nearby Fleetwith Pike were refused planning in early 2013, but the company is determined to appeal the decision, so watch this space. Honister is open daily 9am-5pm.
Tarn Hows (8)
This wooded tarn is one of the national park's top beauty spots, but it's actually a man-made creation: a local landowner decided to enhance the view by combining three pools here in the mid 19th century. It's now owned by the National Trust, and its lakeshore paths are ideal for a leisurely afternoon stroll. The NT car-park is often full, so it can be more relaxing to walk up from nearby Coniston or Hawkshead. nationaltrust.org.uk/coniston-and-tarn-hows.
Brantwood (9)
John Ruskin was one of the great polymaths of the Victorian age, dabbling in everything from philosophy and art criticism to the aesthetics of lace-making. He bought this house near Coniston in 1871 and remained here until his death in 1900. A fierce advocate of the importance of traditional arts and crafts, Ruskin filled Brantwood with furniture, antiques, paintings and objets d'art collected on his travels (look out for his extensive shell collection in the drawing room, alongside his original library and writing desk). He was also a pioneering environmentalist and passionate horticulturalist, and the house is surrounded by gardens laid down according to his own exacting designs.
Open:10.30am-5pm March-November, shorter hours at other times; admission to house and garden adult/children under 15 £7.20/free; brantwood.org.uk.
Quieter alternatives
Coniston Water (10)
Five miles west of Windermere, Coniston Water was made famous by the daredevil antics of Sir Malcolm and Donald Campbell, who set a string of world water-speed records here between the 1930s and the 1960s. The lake is more sedate these days, and has a choice of two cruise services: the solar-powered Coniston Launch (conistonlaunch.co.uk) and the Steam Yacht Gondola (nationaltrust.org.uk/gondola), a 19th-century steamer that has been carefully restored by the National Trust.
Both vessels stop at John Ruskin's former home at Brantwood (see above). There are also special cruises exploring Coniston's connection with the children's author Arthur Ransome, who based much of the setting for Swallows & Amazons on the surrounding landscape, see: coniston.net.
The alternative: Wordsworth House (11)
It receives far fewer visitors than either Dove Cottage or Rydal Mount, but Wordsworth's boyhood home in Cockermouth provides a fascinating insight into the poet's formative years. Costumed guides bring the house vividly to life: rooms on show include the kitchen and drawing room, as well as William's own boyhood bedroom. The garden (which Wordsworth mentioned in The Prelude) was all but washed away during the floods of 2009, but had since been carefully restored.
Open: 11am-5pm Mar-Nov (closed Fridays); free to NT members, otherwise adult/child £5.50/2.50; nationaltrust.org.uk/wardsworth-house.
Beatrix Potter Gallery (12)
Though chiefly known as a children's author, Beatrix Potter was also a keen student of the natural world. This tiny gallery in Hawkshead showcases some of her delicate studies of fungi, flowers and other flora, alongside landscapes inspired by the Lakeland countryside she loved. The gallery is located inside the offices of the solicitor William Heelis, whom Beatrix married in 1913.
Open: 10.30am-5pm Mar-Oct, closed on Fridays outside high season; admission free to NT members, otherwise adult/child £4.80/2.40; nationaltrust.org.uk/beatrix-potter-gallery.
Ennerdale (13)
Covered by conifer plantations during the 1930s, the remote valley of Ennerdale is currently the focus of an innovative 'rewilding' project to return the landscape to untouched wilderness. Its trails feel deliciously isolated, so it's an ideal spot if you prefer to hike in silence and solitude. The Lake District's remotest hostel, the Black Sail YHA, is perched amongst the hills between Ennerdale (wildennerdale.co.uk)and Buttermere and accessible only on foot or by bike (yha.org.uk/hostel/black-sail).
Cockermouth (14)
Situated beside the Rivers Derwent and Cocker, Cockermouth hit the headlines in 2009 when it was hit by the UK's worst flash-floods, but a major renovation programme has largely restored Cockermouth to its former self. The town centre has a good selection of independent shops, while ale aficionados won't want to miss a guided tour around Jenning's Brewery (jenningsbrewery.co.uk), which has been in business since 1828 and is now Cumbria's largest beer-brewer, see: cockermouth.org.uk
.Newlands Valley (15)
Most people make a beeline for Borrowdale and Buttermere, but relatively few detour west into the Newlands Valley. There's precious little to see other than miles of empty fells and open countryside, but that's the attraction. The Newlands Round makes a classic 10-mile loop around the valley's main summits, and it stays fairly quiet even in the height of summer. The shortest route begins in the tiny village of Little Town, but it's easier to park in Keswick and walk southwest through Brandelhow Park.
Loweswater (16)
Hardly anyone seems to make the trip out to Loweswater, despite the fact that it's only a couple of miles from Buttermere. Those who do discover a peaceful lake ringed by quiet fells and unspoilt woodland. Wooden rowing boats can be hired from either side of the lake, and there's a wraparound panorama from the summit of nearby Mellbreak (1,676ft), see: visitcumbria.com.
Blackwell House (17)
Designed at the turn of the last century by the architect Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, this elegant house is one of England's finest surviving examples of Arts and Crafts architecture. Nearly everything in the house is handmade, a deliberate reaction against the industrially-driven ethos of the age. Highlights include the light-filled White Drawing Room and the lavish Great Hall, which showcase the natural motifs, craftsmanship and painstaking level of detail that became synonymous with the Arts and Crafts movement.
Open: 10.30am-5pm daily; adult £7.25, children under 16 free; blackwell.org.uk.

A Guide for Parents Who Have a Child With Lupus
Understanding Their Needs and Health Risks

Erectile Dysfunction: A Concern for Men With Diabetes
Although lupus often develops in adults, it can occur in children as well. The disease is the same in children as it is in adults, but parents should be alert to lupus's effects on their child's emotional health, vision, diet and school activities. Read on…
Lupus has many symptoms, and they can be invisible or very visible. These symptoms can be of great concern to your child, especially those that cause a change in appearance, such as hair loss, a bloated look in the face and neck, skin rashes or lesions (sores), weight gain and easy bruising.
These effects may be caused by lupus or by the medications used to treat the disease. Some of these will diminish or go away entirely when lupus symptoms are controlled by the medication, and also as the dosages of medications are lowered and discontinued. When present, though, these visible symptoms of lupus can be very upsetting to your child.
Symptoms that are invisible – muscle aches, joint pain, severe fatigue, chest pain, memory loss, and difficulty processing information – can also be difficult to deal with.
There may be times when people ask you or your child questions about why such a healthy-looking young person walks with a cane or does
not participate in a school activity or needs a home tutor. Be patient as you help your child learn to cope both with these effects of the disease, and other people's reactions and attitudes.
Flares and Triggers
Lupus is also a disease of flares, when the symptoms worsen and the child feels sick, and remission or "quiescence", when the symptoms improve and the child feels better. Knowing which factors lead to disease flares is an important part of managing lupus. Some common triggers are:
excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays—from the sun or from artificial light
a viral or bacterial infection
It is important that all members of the child's health care team know about new symptoms. These may indicate a worsening of disease, or a new complication.
As much as possible, encourage your child to let you know about any changes in how she or he feels, physically and mentally. If your child does not feel comfortable communicating to you in person about these symptoms, encourage the keeping of a handwritten or computer diary of symptoms and feelings. Or, ask your child's favorite nurse or physician's assistant to make the request.
In addition, keeping your own journal can help you remember questions you want to ask the doctor, instructions or information you are given, medication side effects you observe, or anything else concerning your
child's health and care. These notes can be very helpful as you and your family learn about lupus and how to adjust and adapt, both now and in the future.
Children with lupus should not receive any vaccine that contains "live" virus. This is because even a small amount of a virus can cause lupus to become active.
Diet and Nutritional Health
There is no specific diet for a person with lupus. To improve heart disease risk, reduce inflammation, and lower blood pressure – all of which are very important for people with lupus, including children – try to make sure your child follows the recommended guidelines for healthy eating.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and moderate amounts of freshly cooked meats and poultry.
Eat baked or broiled fatty fish once or twice a week.
Avoid or limit foods containing saturated fat, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats, or trans fats.
Limit daily sodium intake, especially from processed and "fast" foods. (When eating out, request low-sodium preparations.)
Drink plenty of water (if there is no fluid restriction).
Avoid or limit sugary foods and drinks.
Bone Health
Lupus, as well as many of the medications used to treat lupus, can cause loss of bone minerals, such as calcium. When these minerals are not at correct levels, bones may not be able to grow normally, and may not have
normal bone strength. This means that children with lupus are at increased risk for delayed skeletal growth, short stature and fractures later in life. Talk to your child's doctors about these treatment strategies:
regular bone density screenings using the DXA (known as DEXA)
a calcium and vitamin D supplement
daily weight-bearing and aerobic exercise
Vision Health
One of the most commonly prescribed medications for lupus is the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil®). Antimalarials can affect the retina, so a complete eye examination by an ophthalmologist should be done prior to the child starting this type of medication, and once or twice a year thereafter. Any problems with vision should be immediately brought to the ophthalmologist's attention. Also, the dosage should be based upon the child's ideal body weight for his or her height.
Emotional Health
A child's emotional development, like physical growth, progresses in predictable ways. Understanding the needs of your child at each stage will help you keep the lines of communication open while your family deals with the diagnosis of lupus.
Preschool children are very literal – events are directly related to their behavior. If they become ill, they may think: "I'm sick because I was being bad" or "I'll be really good and I'll get better."
Children in this age group don't need a lot of information about their disease. However, you do not need to hide facts from them. Their questions are simple, so respond with simple answers.
For example, when your child asks, "Why do we go to the doctor
so much?" you could say, "Because the doctor wants to try to make you feel better."
Some important points to make are:
No one knows what causes lupus, and having lupus is not your fault.
Lupus doesn't happen because you did something wrong, or misbehaved.
Elementary School
Children in this age group think both concretely and abstractly. Although they are beginning to realize that having lupus is not their fault, it doesn't relieve their stress. They may show strong emotions in reaction to change, such as anger and/or a preoccupation with and fear of death.
They also still expect their parents to "fix everything." It is helpful to ask about their concerns, allow them to ask questions and make sure they understand what you have told them.
Some important points to make when talking to your child about lupus are:
Lupus is not contagious: you can't "catch" lupus from someone or "give" lupus to anyone.
Lupus might make you feel very tired, sore, and/or achy. The doctor will give you medicines, and it's important to follow the instructions about how and when to take the medicines so you can feel better as soon as possible.
Some things will change, like being able to spend a lot of time in the sun, or participating in some activities.
Be extra careful to wash your hands and stay away from anyone who is sick, so your body doesn't have to fight off extra germs.
Middle School
At this age, children are capable of making rational decisions and judgments. You can begin to explain the more complicated physical effects of lupus. You can include your child in the process of scheduling upcoming doctors' appointments and in decisions about treatment.
When you think your child is ready, you can ask the doctors to begin to speak to your child directly, rather than channeling information through you. These strategies will help your child so he or she does not feel powerless against lupus.
Some important points to make to your child are:
It's OK to ask questions about lupus or the medications, or even about personal issues.
Focus on all of the things you are good at that your disease does not affect.
Don't give up on your goals and dreams!
School and Extracurricular Activities
Your child's teachers and leaders of organized activities should be made aware of the effects of lupus. The most common issues that may need to be addressed include:
changes in concentration or memory
missed assignments due to absences for care or illness
reduced ability to take part in physical education classes
the need to limit sun exposure
extreme fatigue
altered appearance from medication side effects and/or disease symptoms
infections, particularly if the child does not respond well to vaccinations
Be your child's advocate at school by helping teachers and staff understand the complications of lupus, and what is needed for your child to keep up with school assignments.
Parents, look for helpful hints in

Expansion and efficiency mark University of Mary's progress
(Editor's note: Kent Brick is editor of North Dakota Living, and this story is reprinted with permission. Monsignor Shea is the son of Joe and Pat Shea of Hazelton.)
The University of Mary is building. It is building upon the vision of the Benedictine Sisters. Members of this Roman Catholic order of nuns first arrived in Dakota Territory in 1878, bringing ministries of healing and learning. Eighty years later, in 1959, they achieved a milestone in their mission of service, opening Mary College, high on a hill south of Bismarck.
U-Mary is building upon a collaboration ethic. This has long been a key to the success of the Benedictines' ministries here, and its expansion today, across North Dakota, the United States and as far as Rome, Italy.
The university is also involved in a very significant campus building campaign. It is taking big – and efficient – strides in remodeling several existing buildings and adding new space to its bustling Bismarck campus.
Capital Electric Cooperative, Bismarck, serves U-Mary at this location.
Since 2009, a devout, exuberant son of rural North Dakota – Monsignor James Shea – has been leading this building surge, as the University of Mary president. At its core, says Shea, is "the deep ethic of service" – U-Mary's lifeblood.
"This is about the people that the University of Mary serves," Shea says. "This is about how we can be better for Bismarck, and Mandan, and North Dakota, and beyond. It's for our students and their parents, for our adult students and their lives, their families and their careers."
New buildings, efficiency emphasis
Last fall, U-Mary's leadership publicly announced their ambitious plans for expanded physical facilities on the main campus. Shea outlined a $40 million capital campaign under way to, among other goals, improve existing facilities, create substantial new dormitory space and construct a new student center. The expected increase in on-campus residency was cited as pointing to a significant need for a social community focal point.
"The student center is a commitment to the quality of life here on campus," Shea says. He notes that while UMary may not traditionally been thought of as a residential campus, that is changing. Enrollment – now near 3,200 across the university's campuses – is growing, but there are residential quarters for only about 800 of the 1,900 students attending classes at the main campus just south of Bismarck. Shea said more dormitory space – through building renovation and new construction – is part of the campaign.
Shea calls the new student center "a living room for the campus." He sees it as a safe and comfortable 24/7 space for social gatherings, study sessions and meetings. It is expected to be the new home of the bookstore and coffee shop, currently located elsewhere on campus. In addition, the Marauders Athletics Hall of Fame will move to the student campus center. Bookstore and coffee shop moves will create space for expanding Mary's growing physical therapy program.
The plan calls for the student campus center to be located between the McDowell Activity Center and the Leach Field House. Its cost is estimated at $7.1 million; about 80 percent of those funds have been secured. Shea foresees it becoming a reality within the next two to four years.
Energy management
Energy efficiency and developing a culture marked by a lighter environmental footprint are a significant focus of the building development and renovation under way at U-Mary.
Mark Stephens, the university's physical plant director, says energy efficiency has been a targeted priority for some time.
"For the past 18 months, we've been involved in an energy savings and an energy management plan," Stephens says.
He says heating and cooling technologies have been evaluated and many energy equipment replacements have been done. Some 50-year-old boilers have been replaced with new highly efficient boiler heating units.
Stephens says lighting replacement has also been a major undertaking – one expected to deliver rapid payback on investments due to lower energy consumption. He says old fluorescent ballasts have been replaced with highly efficient, environmentally acceptable lighting technologies.
Part of the energy management initiative has been the development of central, computerized control of all energy consumption on campus.With this resource, it is possible to control the thermostat settings based on activities in buildings and classrooms. Activity sensors are now operating, which control the shutting-off of lights.
Several heat pumps operate on the campus, and Stephens is attuned to avoiding running several simultaneously and incurring extensive peak demand costs.
The energy efficiency and energy management priorities at the university will influence greatly the designs for new buildings coming to the campus.
"Energy efficiency is a big part of what we do anytime we get going on a new project," Stephens says.
Shea says U-Mary has made a $7 million investment in energy management and energy efficiency. He says the investments are calibrated to ensure that energy cost savings will be realized to cover that investment.
"We decided to dedicate these funds to energy efficiency in order to be better stewards of our resources, to set a good example and create this culture for our students," Shea says.
Wes Engbrecht, director of communications and public relations for Capital Electric Cooperative, says U-Mary continues to be an excellent member of the cooperative family.
"Capital Electric has provided service to the University of Mary for a long time. The university is our biggest consumer and we appreciate this energy efficiency effort," he adds. Engbrecht says energy conservation at U-Mary helps the cooperative keep its power supply costs as low as possible.

The era of commercial spaceflight is upon us. From suborbital tourist flights to space aboard companies like Virgin Galactic and XCOR, to orbital flights to the International Space Station and Bigelow space stations, to the development of low-cost crew taxies to low Earth orbit, to manned expeditions to the Moon and Mars, commercial spaceflight is flowering. In the process it's creating an access revolution for spaceflight that is as profound for space as the development of the personal computer was to the computing and Internet industries. In this presentation I will review the full range of coming commercial spaceflight systems and capabilities, focusing in particular on those being created or exploited here in Colorado.

2013 Employee Benefits & Regulatory and Compliance Update Seminar
Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: Carlucci - 6111 N River Road Rosemont, IL 60018
Web Site: http:/http://gcgfinancial.net
GCG Financial will hold its annual benefits benchmarking results seminar on Tuesday, June 4 at Carlucci in Rosemont.
Representatives from the actuarial firm Milliman USA will present and analyze the privacy-protected local and national 2013 survey data, which was completed by approximately 400 middle-market companies, as well as discuss best practices and strategies. Partners from Drinker Biddle & Reath will discuss the 2013 regulatory and compliance updates. Both presentations will include a healthcare reform section.
"We are very interested to see how this year's results compare to what we learned in 2012," said President of Employee Benefits at GCG Financial David Levitz "Given the comparative data that the 2013 survey will provide, this year establishes the survey's ultimate value, all of which should help companies address the increasing cost of providing healthcare benefits to employees."
The seminar is open to all companies, including those who did not participate in the survey. It will run from 9 a.m. until noon, and attendees will have the opportunity to participate in live interactive polling on the latest benefits topics.
GCG Financial is a premier financial services firm based in Bannockburn. This year's results seminar will be the firm's tenth annual event.

Transactional Evaporation - A breakthrough plan for eliminating Federal taxes and, at the same time,
Time: 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Location: DaVinci Institute, 511 E. South Boulder Road, Louisville, CO 80027

f you're like most people, the issue of taxes has become an increasingly painful topic to discuss. Taxes, as they exist today, create unnecessary friction in our economy and, as a result, produce an adversarial relationship between people and their government.
Transactional Evaporation can change all that.
Scott Smith has been involved in modeling alternatives to managing our nation's money supply for almost twenty years. Recently he founded the Partnership for a New Economy, which advocates a four-point program to modernize our monetary and banking system. His talk will focus on "Transactional Evaporation," will allow the federal budget to be balanced without the need for collecting either personal or corporate income taxes.
Transactional Evaporation will also counteract the effect of federal spending on the money supply, which will be financed by the creation of new money through the Federal Reserve, by evaporating the existing money supply gradually across the entire monetary system. The result is that income, both in the form of wages and investment income, will be left largely intact, helping to increase consumer spending and decrease our current levels of unemployment.
We invite you to join us for this timely discussion and find out why Transactional Evaporation may just be the solution we're all looking for.

Sell Your Book - Or Book Idea - To a Traditional Publisher Like Random House
Do you have a book (or book idea) that you believe has bestseller or high commercial potential? Now is the best time in history to get a traditional publisher like Random House. During this workshop you'll discover why. You'll also find out why self-publishing is (in many cases) fool's gold.
It doesn't matter if you're previously published, halfway through your first book, or just getting started… this workshop is for you. It also doesn't matter if you're writing nonfiction, fiction, or children's books. Authors of every genre can use the strategies that will be shared during this event.
By the end of this workshop you'll understand the only 2 reasons talented authors don't get published. You'll be aware of the most publishing misconceptions. You'll be hip to the latest trends (and scams). And, most important, you'll know how to get the attention of top literary agents and publishers… so you can get a major book deal.
Getting published isn't luck, it's a decision…

In mathematics and computer science, a class of objects or methods exhibit recursive behavior when they can be defined by two properties:
A simple base case (or cases)
A set of rules that reduce all other cases toward the base case
For this class, we will be writing a Ruby class that will determine if an input string is a Palindrome. We will use TDD (test driven development) processes to flesh out the Ruby class.
This class will be taught by Jason Noble, one of the instructors at DaVinci Institute. In July, Jason will be teaching a new Ruby on Rails course titled "Building the tool belt of a Junior Ruby on Rails Developer" (http://davincicoders.com/building-the-toolbelt-of-a-junior-ruby-on-rails-developer/).
If you'd like to sit in on a DaVinci class to see what it's like, this meetup would be an excellent opportunity.
