The Radicalism of Dallas, 1963
By early 1963, Dallas was the most singular city in America—it had become, without question, the roiling headquarters for the angry, absolutist resistance to John F. Kennedy and his administration.
A confederacy of like-minded men had coalesced in Dallas: the anti-Catholic leader of the largest Baptist congregation in America, the far-right media magnate who published the state's leading newspaper, the most ideologically extreme member of Congress, and the wealthiest man in the world—oilman H.L. Hunt. Together they formed the most vitriolic anti-Kennedy movement in the nation. And they began to attract others who were even more extreme to the city.
Ex-Army General Edwin A. Walker had been relieved of command by Kennedy for brainwashing his troops with John Birch Society propaganda. After angrily resigning from the service, Walker knew exactly where to go to lead his new anti-Kennedy campaign. He moved to Dallas, where he was welcomed by the mayor and given an honorary Stetson in a public ceremony witnessed by thousands.
For Walker and many others in the high-powered quarters of the city, Kennedy threatened to subvert everything the Republic stood for. As they saw it, Kennedy worshipped a dangerous, foreign religion. He was spending the country into bankruptcy trying to buy the votes of minorities. He favored expanding government health care with his Medicare proposal. He was plotting to surrender the sovereignty of the United States to the United Nations.
Perhaps worst of all, Kennedy supported integration. Reverend Criswell, the leader of Dallas's First Baptist Church, had already spoken clearly on civil rights: "Let them integrate! Let them sit up there in their dirty shirts and make all their fine speeches. But they are all a bunch of infidels, dying from the neck up!" Ex-General Edwin Walker would make his own views known soon enough, leading the deadly riots at Ole Miss, where two people were killed and dozens of U.S. Marshals were seriously wounded by gunfire on September 30, 1962 when a black student, James Meredith, attempted to register for classes. Walker was arrested for sedition and insurrection on Kennedy's personal orders.
But to Walker and his allies in Dallas, it was Kennedy who was guilty of betraying the country. The rhetoric in Dallas began to ratchet up. Kennedy was a socialist, a traitor. Kennedy was aiding and abetting the enemy. Kennedy should be impeached. Kennedy was guilty of treason.
While Kennedy attempted to govern the country, Dallas would be, many of the citizen kings decided, the last bastion of resistance. They would send out a sort of siren call from "the heartland"—one luring more and more people to the Buckle of the Bible Belt. To a place that brazenly hung onto its "Southern traditions."
Dallas had been the national headquarters of the KKK in the 1920s, and well into the early 1960s it was one of the last major American cities aggressively resisting integrating its classrooms—long after the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision ordering school desegregation.
It was, perhaps, all in the DNA of the city. Dallas had been carved out of nothing. There were no ports or natural resources that would suggest Dallas was a place to build a city. It was willed into existence by a handful of ballsy, wildcatting entrepreneurs and former Confederate stalwarts arriving on the prairie in the late 1800s. Together, they created the city's unofficial, lingering, motto: "What's good for business is good for Dallas."
In time, the giddily overt presence of the KKK, which occasionally staged massive street parades downtown, was deemed "not good" for business, and the Klan faded from public view. But the mayor of the pro-Richard Nixon city in 1960 was a former Klansman. And he was replaced in 1961 by a man whose grandfather had not only been a mayor, but a general immortalized in the city's largest public monument: a towering downtown memorial to the Confederacy.
Black residents trying to integrate lunch counters (and segregated areas of the famous Neiman-Marcus emporium), knew the "traditions" were never far away. The city's iconic public symbol—a giant glowing neon sign depicting a red Pegasus—was affixed to a building once owned by the Grand Dragon of the KKK.
Finally, though, in emergency meetings in the early 1960s, the citizen kings who ran Dallas weighed a scary alternative: If blacks persisted in fomenting revolution, then that would be even worse for business. In a fit of enlightened self-interest in the fall of 1961, they allowed Dallas to begin one of the most painfully slow school desegregations in American history.
But the extremist anti-Kennedy hysteria persisted. Dallas remained on edge in the months before the president arrived. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. came to speak in the city in early 1963—and there was a bomb threat against him. United Nations Ambassador Adlai Stevenson came to Dallas a month before Kennedy, to talk about the nation being part of the world community—and was attacked by a swirling, spitting, xenophobic mob. When Kennedy arrived in November, he was greeted by a full page advertisement in the Dallas Morning News accusing him of being a Communist sympathizer. More chillingly, General Walker's troops had distributed thousands of handbills along the streets of Dallas, picturing Kennedy on a "wanted" poster with the message: "WANTED FOR TREASON."
And then Kennedy was killed.
Before Lee Harvey Oswald's capture, everyone assumed that a right-winger had done it. General Walker, who was on a plane over Louisiana, immediately collected the names of the other passengers on the flight, knowing that he would likely need witnesses for an alibi. Meanwhile, the Dallas Police department was flooded with phone calls from distraught housewives in the city, each of them sobbingly confessing that it must have been her husband who had killed Kennedy.
And then the leftist was arrested. Oswald's motivations remained murky—even more so after it was discovered that he had tried earlier in 1963 to assassinate Kennedy's most vocal opponent, General Walker in Dallas. Oswald's bullet just missed Walker's head, passing through the general's hair. One thing is clear about Oswald—he seemed drawn to Dallas, attracted by the political heat the city was generating. He was living in a hothouse environment, an increasingly vitriolic place. He monitored the scene when General Walker prepared his troops for the mob action against Adlai Stevenson in Dallas. Oswald called himself a Marxist, but of course he was a total failure in that regard. His defection to the Soviet Union was a disaster. He believed that he would be welcomed as a great hero and become an influential advisor to the government. Instead, he was assigned menial work at a radio factory. After he slunk back to the U.S., he remained committed to Marxism, even as he openly despised the working class. Mostly, he was a misfit, a somewhat malleable figure who wanted more than anything to make a statement, to be seen as an important person. His rifle gave him the chance.
Although Oswald had pulled the trigger, many people in America blamed Dallas for Kennedy's death. The city's image had been fixed by all those stories of extremist hatred for Kennedy in Dallas. For years after the assassination, people from Dallas learned to be vague when asked where they were from. They would lie and name another town. David Halberstam once said that he could never root for the Dallas Cowboys because they were from the city where his president had been killed.
The citizen kings went into crisis control after the assassination. Some even asked the president's widow if she would do public relations work on behalf of the city, defending it to its detractors. She never replied to their entreaty.
The extremists who had blackened the city's image were eased out of power, or forced to change their ways. The radically anti-JFK congressman was defeated by a more centrist establishment candidate. The publisher of the Dallas Morning News drifted into retirement. Reverend Criswell gradually become more accommodating about integration. General Walker remained a radical rightist, but he lost support after he was arrested for fondling an undercover policeman in a Dallas park.
As the radicals faded from view, Dallas returned to selling its major strengths. It recast itself as a moderate, pragmatic bastion of anti-government regulation with low taxes. It projected an image of a well-mannered, conservative Christian culture with exceedingly accommodating local politicians. In the years after Kennedy's death, the city rolled out the carpet and lured more and more multinational companies.
Some said that Dallas was becoming the very face of the New South. But the assassination, and all that it implied, was still in the marrow.
Dallas endured many years of angst as it considered how to deal with Kennedy's death. An uninspiring concrete monument was installed on Dealey Plaza, but the city actively discouraged visitors. The schoolbook depository where Oswald worked was nearly torn down. Finally, in the 1980s, the city decided to renovate the building and create a world-class museum dedicated to John F. Kennedy. The Sixth Floor Museum opened in 1989 and is a major tourist destination in Dallas.
The city has continued to evolve. In the 1990s, it elected its first black mayor, Ron Kirk, who received strong support from the business community. As many white conservatives have fled to northern suburbs (where they have formed some of the most conservative precincts in America), Dallas has ironically become the bluest city in Texas after Austin. In the 2012 election, Barack Obama won Dallas County by 15 percentage points over Mitt Romney.
Yet Dallas also remains true to many of its Dixiecrat roots—even if many of the voters no longer live in the city proper. George W. Bush never hesitated to relocate to Dallas after leaving the White House—and he moved into a neighborhood filled with his biggest supporters, including many oilmen and Harold Simmons, the billionaire who helped fund the Swift Boat campaign against John Kerry. Despite resistance from some faculty and residents, Bush's lavish library and museum opened earlier this year at Southern Methodist University. (His father has his own presidential library a few hours away at Texas A&M University).
When Barack Obama visited Dallas in 2010, Tea Party fever was breaking out and he was greeted by nearly 1,000 protesters. The crowd gathered in a high school football stadium and held signs that would have looked very much at home in the Dallas of 1963. The placards accused Obama of being a socialist, of being a traitor, of committing treason. The confederate flags of 1963 have been replaced by the Tea Party's "Don't Tread on Me" banners. Outside the stadium stood a lone pair of counter-protesters. Their sign made explicit the connection between the anti-JFK and anti-Obama hatred: "HATERS KILLED JFK."
In 2013, the extremist movement that began in Dallas is no longer confined to the city. Back in 1963, Dallas made national front-page news for its violent, hate-filled protests against Kennedy's "socialism." These days, Tea Party protests calling the president a traitor are so common—and are ubiquitous in all corners of the country—that they barely make a dent in the news.
John Kennedy, if he visited Dallas today, would no longer see a city uniquely defined as a "city of hate." But if he looked around the country, he would see that the Dallas virus has gone national.

If President Kennedy visited Dallas (or any city) today, modern progressives would run him out of town on a rail if he had the audacity to suggest, like some uncaring tea party zealot, that citizens should ask what they can do for their country rather than what the welfare state can to buy their votes! :-)

That comment in Kennedy's Inaugural Address has been misinterpreted by both ends of the spectrum, because it represents a moderate middle view: those of us who do not NEED any specific favors from our country (note that he did NOT say government) to survive OUGHT TO find ways to work and make it better. Those of us who DO need assistance, after receiving it, ought to find ways to make it better for others as well. In other words, the typical American call for VOLUNTARY mutual assistance out of individual liberty.
Today's right wing assumes that "what your country can do for you" means "government welfare" and thus that Kennedy was demonizing the "welfare takers." But "country" means much more than "government." If your aim in life is solely to make a profit from the fact that you live in a prosperous nation, and you do not want to give back to that nation by helping others, or even paying a reasonable amount of taxes on what you earn, Kennedy's admonition is for you.
Furthermore, the right's misconception of the left is that all leftists are always demonstrating for "special" rights, or in other words, to protect them from hateful reactions to their thoughts, actions and words that offend others (personally, I would think that to be a universal HUMAN right), and that they want "special" favors from government (which does not seem to include paying less in taxes than one's employees) because they are "lazy." Just to make the point clearly, Kennedy addressed the behavior in question, in case anyone on the left WAS seriously trying to get his approval for such a lifestyle, with EXACTLY THE SAME couplet which addressed the selfishness of some of the right.
To paraphrase: Ask not (at least not FIRST) what your country (either its government or its natural resources or other people in it) can do for you (in particular); ask (first) rather what you can do (via labor, charitable donations, taxes, or moral example) for your country (to make its government, its economy, and the conditions and attitudes of your fellow citizens) better (for the benefit of everyone, including yourself). And President John F. Kennedy, as a man and as President, worked on living this principle himself, AND on setting up an institution by which others would have a vehicle to do so (the Peace Corps).
Also, in his famous moon landing address, he told us, "we choose to go to the moon, and to do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." Many of the challenges facing us are hard; not only hard in themselves, but threatening to the beliefs and ideologies of some, and threatening to the selfish interests of others. For that reason, we tend to look for "easy" solutions, or to ignore some problems because they may take effort away from others we consider more important, making them "harder" to do. Perhaps we can take inspiration from that other Kennedy speech and try doing all of them together, BECAUSE it is harder to do them all together.
We can choose to give all our citizens health care when it is needed, including prevention; to pay all who are willing and able to work a living wage (even doing something that is not valued in the "free" market, but which every reasonable person agrees "needs doing"); to care for those who are too old, too unhealthy, or too young to work (and without adequate support of a parent or other adult); to invest in ways to enable and empower the disabled via medical and/or prosthetic assistance as needed, so that they CAN work (as, for example, Britain did for its most famous contemporary physicist); to relieve the stress on the natural systems of our planet that threaten universal disaster; to do ALL OF THESE THINGS, "not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

Concur, thoughtful deconstruction, ThinkingDem. I do always question thoughts like: "even doing something that is not valued in the "free" market." As usual, you appreciate being generous with someone else's money.
That said, the more telling statement came from robdashu, 'I don't see the Tea Party trying to do anything for the country, or even pretending to want to." It really strikes at the essence of the difference between the so-called "conservative," and the so-called "liberal" (now "progressive?"). The liberal is going up against evil – folks that do not care. Hence, lying (by the President, or anyone else) is acceptable – "look what we are up against, we must use EVERY means." Conservatives believe they are going up against ignorance (not stupidity). That is a vastly different approach: "hey, you want a living wage for everyone (believe it or not we do too), but economists well know that for 2500 years all a "minimum wage" does is price newcomers out of the workplace." (for fun, check Representative Clayton Allgood, Congressional Record, 1931, p. 6513). One is up against evil, the other is trying to make a convincing argument.

Given the complexity of Lee Harvey Oswald's political background, I have a difficult time connecting any right wing "haters" in Dallas with the assassination. Remember the "Fair Play for Cuba Committee?"
If I had to put money down, I'd go with either a Mafia hit or Castro getting back at the US for its many attempts on his life.
Just sayin'.

Imagine President Kennedy presenting a plan to Congress to go to the moon. It was unbelievable then and today would be demonized and quickly opposed. Only a few white men controlled all the money in the south. Only a few control most of the money today. The Hunts of Texas are named in many books on the JFK murder because they had a get-together at their home with Hoover of the FBI flying in to their private airport for the meeting. The murder happened the next day. Today the sons of the John Birch society, the Koch Brothers, spend millions in false ads that change public opinion. First as one of the great polluters they bought politicians like Scot Walker of WI who immediately gave them permission to pollute a river. Now they are running false ads about Obamacare. All done through false fronts approved by the gang of 5 on the SCOTUS. Texas is still radical, but President Obama managed to fly in and out safely last week. His route was not diverted at the last minute. He did not ride in an open car. The Secret Service did not have half their men sent to the rear. The power of the US still is largely in the hands of Bushco. Obama would not be President if the Bushwreck had not diverted money to create the 1%. As soon as the south was desegregated they flipped to the Republican party. Without the federal government the south would remain segregated. Must be time for a federal government shut down again.

Above is a photo snapped just after the Galaxy's flight this morning of Boston Harbor and it's final approach to Los Angeles.
The arrival ends an eight-day trip for most of the contigent, who participated in both the club's 2-0 U.S. Open Cup defeat to the Carolina RailHawks as well as the 5-0 loss to the New England Revolution.
Over that period, the Galaxy flew 5,442 miles. LA will return to the road later this week when they take on Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday.
International Update: Robbie Keane scores two and is poised to become Ireland's all-time caps leader
Both Robbie Keane and Omar Gonzalez made significant contributions for their national teams over the weekend.
Keane notched a brace as Ireland demolished Georgia 4-0 in Dublin on Sunday as he tied former teammate Shay Given for Ireland's all-time appearance record with 125. In fact, Ireland manager Giovanni Trappatoni was incredibly complimentary of Keane's move to MLS and said that it has revitalized the Ireland captain.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez went the distance in the U.S. National Team's 4-3 win over Germany at Washington D.C.'s RFK Stadium. The start was Gonzalez's fifth straight with the U.S.
Both Keane and Gonzalez will be back in action on Friday. Ireland takes on the Faroe Islands in a pivotal World Cup Qualifier while the U.S. take on Jamaica. The two LA stars aren't the only Galaxy players who may suit up for their country this week as Homegrown right back Oscar Sorto will look to make his Toulon Tournament debut when the U.S. Under-20's take on Korea Republic on Wednesday.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Sunday's match was a brutal one for the LA Galaxy, who fell 5-0 to the New England Revolution.
My sidebar on the LA Galaxy's defeat can be found here while my Three Points to the match can be read here.
A few notes on the match including some provided by the Galaxy Communications staff below:
*The Galaxy arrived at Gillette Stadium 55 minutes prior to kick off on Sunday after traffic en route.
*The 5-0 defeat ties the club record for the biggest margin of defeat in an MLS regular season game, equaling a 5-0 loss to the MetroStars on June 15, 2002.
*This was also just the second time that the Galaxy have conceded five or more goals in a game under Bruce Arena. LA lost 6-3 to FC Dallas on September 12, 2009 at The Home Depot Center.
*The Galaxy are 0-5-0 in MLS this year when conceding the first goal and 0-7-0 when doing so in all competitions.
*This was the 17th straight game in all competitions this season that the Galaxy have made at least one lineup change.
*According to the team issued game notes: Todd Dunivant (left quad strain), Leonardo (left ankle) and Jack McBean (fractured left clavicle) all missed the game because of injuries.
*Bryan Gaul and Kofi Opare were in the 18-man squad for a regular season for the first time in 2013. Each of LA's 29 rostered players have been on the gameday squad at least once.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – LA Galaxy Goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini understands that he didn't play his best game in the club's 5-0 defeat to the New England Revolution, but the 'keeper knows that he'll need to recover quickly as the club looks forward.
New England put all five of their shots on goal into the back of the net on Sunday, but LA's collapse truly began in the 70th minute. LA's defense was caught frozen after a disagreement between referee Fotis Bazakos and assistant referee Adam Garner on whether to call an LA throw in or a New England free kick. Bazakos overruled his assistant and signaled for the free kick, which was quickly taken by Revs midfielder Diego Fagundez, who found Lee Nguyen, who fired the second goal past Cudicini.
Following the second goal, LA pushed forward in hopes of cutting the lead in half, but the Revolution answered with three goals in the final three minutes of the match plus stoppage time to seal the 5-0 deficit. After the match, Cudicini was left feeling, but admitted that there was no excuse for the poor play.
"It's surprising; I don't think that it is quite common for the Galaxy to lose 5-0. It happens when we try to score a goal and we open up in the back, which is a recipe for disaster as we showed today," said Cudicini. "I've had a long career so I've seen games like this. It's a pity because we were coming from two good games, but there are no excuses."
After conceding five goals, Cudicini understands that he'll open himself up for criticism from the media and others, but he's looking forward to getting back on the training ground to prove himself next week when LA travels to face Real Salt Lake.
"It's part of the game. We have to take all the critiques and the bad comments about this game. We're adults and we have to look forward and we have to get back on track next week," Cudicini told LA Galaxy Insider. "To be fair, I think that it's difficult to forget a game like this. Hopefully on Tuesday when we get back on the training ground, we'll be ready to prepare for next week."
Below are the highlights -- or lowlights -- of the LA Galaxy's 5-0 defeat to the New England Revolution.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass.— LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena spoke to the media following the LA Galaxy's 5-0 defeat to the New England Revolution.
Arena's quotes are below…
(On the result…)
ARENA: "Obviously, at the end, we certainly fell apart. It's just a game where we actually played well in the first half and probably should have gotten on the board early with the chance that Gyasi [Zardes] had. Give them credit, they took advantage of their opportunities in the first half and they played a great second half."
(On making changes…)
ARENA: "I'm going to make believe that the last 15 minutes [of the game] didn't happen, but for the most part our back line played alright. The second goal, let's be honest, the referee made a big mistake. He caught our whole team on the wrong side of the ball. That happens and that basically determines the game. No excuses on our part."
(On the team becoming unglued after allowing that second goal…)
ARENA: "Yeah and they shouldn't have. That's life, but that's something that I'm hopeful that the referees and assistant referees can learn from. There's too many guys to correct that and resolve that issue. It's a big part of the game, but in all fairness, we weren't in position to win the game anyway."
(On the development of Zardes…)
ARENA: "He's getting there. The job of a forward is to score goal and the one that he had early, he's got to do better with that chance. He was dangerous; he got a couple of chances. It's going to take a little time. He's still a little uncertain with some of his runs, but he's a nice project to have."
(On how the team moves forward after the result…)
ARENA: "Very easily. We have a game next week and that's how we'll move forward."
(On Landon Donovan's development this season…)
ARENA: "He's getting fitter. He's got a ways to go. Obviously, [he's] behind the group, but he's catching up."
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The LA Galaxy fell 5-0 to the New England Revolution on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
Saer Sene scored in the first half before Lee Nguyen, Diego Fagundez, Chad Barrett and Kelyn Rowe all tallied in the second half for the Revolution.
The Galaxy are now 2-4-1 on the road in MLS play and 2-5-1 in all competitions.

ALLSTON, Mass. – The LA Galaxy trained on Saturday on the campus of Harvard University in their final preparation for Sunday's match against the New England Revolution.
The training session lasted for a little over an hour in sweltering low-90 degree temperatures on the turf field at Soldier's Field soccer stadium.
A few notes from training:
DONOVAN BACK TO HIS OLD SELF?: Landon Donovan is feeling a little bit more like his old dynamic self lately. Just a day after being named to the U.S. National Team's preliminary roster for the 2013 Gold Cup, Donovan admits that he finally feels like he's back to the player that has led the Galaxy to back-to-back titles.
"I feel like I'm back," said Donovan. "I feel like I'm in moments, at my best, and last week I felt like even though I didn't contribute on the score sheet, I feel like it was my best and my most complete game, so I feel like I'm back.'
After his stellar performances against Sporting Kansas City in April and Philadelphia in May, Donovan talked about the need to string together consistent performances. Now as he prepares to play his ninth game this year, he feels that consistent play has arrived.
"It's there now," said Donovan. "The Vancouver game was poor, the Philly game was pretty good for the most part, I felt pretty good in the New York game, I just wasn't very effective, and in the Seattle game I felt great. It's there now, the confidence is there, the comfort is there, and I'm ready to break out."
SARVAS SHINES: Marcelo Sarvas is quickly becoming one of the LA Galaxy's primary contributors.
Until now, he's done so with little acclaim, despite leading the team in assists with four and being a major cog in the midfield for LA. Earlier this week, however, Sarvas gained some praise from MLSsoccer.com, who named the Brazilian to their "Halfway All-Star Team," which left the Brazilian beaming.
"I'm happy. I think that every soccer player plays to win games and win titles as well as to be recognized wherever you are, whether you are in Brazil, the United States, England or whatever," said Sarvas. "I'm happy to have the recognition. It's my second year in this league and it is a big prize for me."
ROGERS MOVING ALONG: Robbie Rogers went 28 minutes in LA's 2-0 U.S. Open Cup defeat on Wednesday, but he admitted that he was pleased with his fitness after Saturday's training session.
"Today I felt really good. I feel like those minutes that I got on Wednesday, really pushed me along," said Rogers. "I'm going to continue to need minutes like that, so it's unfortunate that we don't have any more Open Cup games, but I'll find them somewhere else."
The training session also marks Rogers' first week with the club, which has been a calm one despite the media scrutiny on his status as the first gay male athlete in a major American professional sports league.
"I forgot what it was like being in the hotel with the guys and all that stuff, but it's actually more relaxing then being at home for me at the moment, just because of the craziness," said Rogers. "Now I've had some time to just sit on my bed and chill, so it's been really nice."
ALLSTON, Mass. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena addressed the media on Saturday during the club's training session at Harvard University.
Arena's comments are below…
(On the lineup…)
ARENA: "We'll see tomorrow. We have a couple of guys that we have to check on tonight and make sure that they're going to be ready to play. We'll be ready to play, that's all that I can tell you."
(On the turf and the high temperatures forecasted for Sunday's game…)
ARENA: "It is a factor. Again, it's almost impossible to explain to this league that you can't be playing afternoon games in the summer on turf. They don't kind of understand it, but it'll be an issue for both teams. In the month of June, in the north east, it starts getting hot and these surfaces make it more difficult. It'll be a little bit of an issue in the game."
(On the last week of Robbie Rogers hoopla…)
ARENA: "It's business as usual…it's business as usual. We've not any more attention or any less attention than we're accustom to be honest. As I said, it's business as usual."
(On New England…)
ARENA: "Good team. They've obviously won their last couple of games. They're a team that started off the season alright, but the last two games have put them in good position. They're a team with a lot of confidence and we're going to have to play well to get a win."
(On what the youngsters gained in the U.S. Open Cup defeat…)
ARENA: "You gain something from every experience. It's not something specific, but every game for young players, in particular, should be a learning experience. They may have learned that, that was a game where they were well positioned to go into the second half and get some kind of result and fell short. Hopefully, that's an experience that they can build on in the future."
(On where Rogers is in terms of fitness…)
ARENA: "I don't know. I don't think anyone ever knows the answers to those things. You just play and figure out where they should go. Every athlete is different. He's generally a fit athlete so I would guess at his age that he should move along pretty quickly."

Xians learn a very carefully edited version of history. I had never heard of the counsel of Nicea for instance until I started ranging out on my own dime. Most xians don't know that Jesus was one of many wandering holy men who existed at that time who were preaching jewish reformism. John the baptist was another. But there were lots of them (this is recorded history, not speculation). Most xians don't realize that the main points of this reformism came into being because of the takeover of israel by the hellenistic greeks in the second century bc. (macabees I & II). Most of what you consider xian principles are imported from greece and predate jesus by more than a century (democracy, which I've actually heard xians claim is an invention of xianity, first came into being in athens in 500-450 bc). I could go on and on and on with this stuff, but the point is that I learned none of it through orthodox sources.

I'd like to add to that, that if you take a broad look at all of the sources (not just the ones codified into the bible) and this is just my opinion... The message Jesus seemed to have was a lot more concerned with rejecting the notion of an omnipotent God that should be worshipped and taking responsibility for ourselves and each other as humans. Effectively rejecting and somewhat in contrast with religion to a degree. However his message and following was seized and twisted into one that served the church over following years. As i say this is just my opinion.

Having taken this stance, I am morally obligated to accept it when xians do something that I would accept if a gay group did it. Otherwise I'm a hypocrite.

There is no hierarchy of sin in the Bible, all sin keeps us from God whether it's me banging my girlfriend before we got married (guilty, a billion times over) or if it's my gay friends banging ass on the weekends.
Like snowie said, my faith is for me and I let God worry about what other people are doing. I disagree with anyone that wants to legislate morality onto the general population. I get in debates with my family all the time about this.

Just some random thoughts on the evolution debate, mostly because I'm sitting here enjoying a coffee right now (mmmmmm..... coffee...) and I have the time.
Slush puppie alluded to the dendrological clock. For those who can't be bothered to look it up, basically it's reading tree rings. You cut down a large old tree and look at the tree rings and you can tell by their size what kind of a year it was. You can tell by pollutants in any particular ring whether there were (for instance) a lot of fires that year. By looking at a tree (fossilized or not) that died earlier, you can match up the ring patterns so that you could show for instance that the earlier tree died in the 50th year of the younger tree's life. Using available dead and fossilized wood they've been able to establish a continuous "tree ring" history back about 11K years.
Now, the first problem is the question of how these trees survived a universal flood. There's no indication of Noah saving seeds two by two (or five by five or seven by seven). And if the flood happened, you'd get a huge discontinuity where all the trees died 5000 years ago. No such discontinuity exists. And if the carbon-14 levels changed abruptly during/after the flood as Calvary's reference posutlates, you'd be able to detect that in the rings from before 5000 years ago. Again, no joy. The only possible response from the creationists is yet again to deny the science, based not on evidence or any actual expertise, but simply because it disagrees with their beliefs.
Now, on to DNA. If all animals were reduced to a couple of ancestors 5000 years ago, there would be a huge genetic bottleneck which would be easily detectable with modern science. In fact, cheetahs have had just this very thing happen -- except 11000 years ago, not 5000. See here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...01467-0064.pdf if you have the patience to wade through the verbiage. The point here is not that cheetahs have this bottleneck, but that no other animals have it. Again, the creationists respond by denying the science.
When you tot up all the different unrelated types of data that point to an old earth, you realize that creationists basically have to dismiss or deny most branches of science, including branches that give us practical results in non-religious-argument areas. How do you argue that microbiology is good enough and dependable enough to convict a person of murder and create frankencorn, but not good enough to detect (or not detect) a genetic bottleneck? How do you argue that physics is good enough to make an atomic clock that's accurate to some stupid small amount in a gazillion years but not good enough to figure out relative isotope levels over a small period of time? How do you argue that archeology is good enough to accurately reconstruct a history up to 5000 years ago (corroborated by independant means) but somehow not good enough to go beyond that? Especially when you can't describe exactly why these very convenient breakdowns happen?
And then there's the final indignity. Even if you manage to punch enough holes in conventional science to create some real doubt, you haven't proved the xian pov by default. It could be the hindu version that's right, or the muslim version, or the buddhist/shintoist/pangu version or the dream time or any of half a hundred first nation beliefs. Xianity doesn't have any priority.

Editor's note: This is the fourth in a series of stories profiling some local businesses that have endured the Test of Time and have been part of our community for decades.
DEFUNIAK SPRINGS — First it was the Lakeview Motor Company. Then for more than 40 years it was Rivard Chevrolet. The past 42 years it's been Triangle Chevrolet.
The name has changed, but for more than 80 years the Chevrolet dealership at 475 U.S. Highway 90 E. in DeFuniak Springs has stood the test of time and been a part of the community.
See more photos of the dealership. >>
"We've been blessed with the support of a really good community," said Taylor Lathinghouse, co-owner and general manager of Triangle Chevrolet Buick. "I've done some traveling and in my travels I've learned that I always wanted to come back to DeFuniak. One thing this town is is very supportive. We wouldn't exist without our customers.
"I hope and I think that my dad and my grandfather before me, that we just treated people the way we wanted to be treated," Lathinghouse added. "If you follow those principles and you're in a good community, then you might can last a long time."
It is believed that the Lakeview Motor Company opened in the 1920s, but most of the information on that dealership has been lost other than a few old photos.
Adrian and Armond Rivard purchased the business in the early 1930s and changed its name to Rivard Chevrolet. In 1949, they needed a business manager and hired Tom Lathinghouse, Taylor's grandfather. The three became great friends and Tom Lathinghouse eventually became a partner.
After the Rivard brothers passed away in 1967, Buddy Pinkard and Charles "Chuck" Williams partnered with Tom Lathinghouse to purchase the dealership and renamed it Triangle Chevrolet to represent the three owners. The dealership is now a completely family business, owned by Greg and Taylor Lathinghouse and Eric Joyner, Taylor's brother-in-law.
Tom Lathinghouse spent 51 years at Triangle Chevrolet. He worked there until he passed away in October 2000.
Taylor's father, Greg Lathinghouse, came aboard in 1972 and became the dealer in 1976, a job he still holds.
"My grandfather was working here before my dad was born and in the car business, people work a lot of hours," Taylor said. "As a kid, my dad was here and then when my dad worked here I was here as a kid and would play in the showroom, and now that I'm doing it my daughter does the same."
The dealership, which eventually added Buick to its name, has outgrown its location.
"Over the course of the years, it's been piecemealed together with the buildings next to it and the lots across the street," Lathinghouse said. "The car business and the way things are set up now have outgrown the design we're currently in. It's not really convenient for our customers.
"We don't have a lot of parking," he added. "We own a little lot across the street and then they need to cross the street to come and talk to us and then our inventory is across another street."
Construction will begin soon on a new Triangle Chevrolet Buickdealership at 850 U.S. 331 S., about a mile and a half from its current location. A public groundbreaking has been scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday.
The 15,000-square-foot dealership will allow for expansion from nine service bays to 15 and provide more room for vehicles.
"That part of town is where the traffic is," Lathinghouse said of the new site. "In the car business, that's where you want to be. We've always known that eventually we'd have to be out there, but we've had to wait on the economy to bounce back to do that."
Construction is expected to take nine to 10 months, depending on the weather. The existing Triangle property will be put on the market.
"Certainly another car dealership could use it," Lathinghouse said. "I would imagine that probably would not be what the future owner would want with it. We are in close proximity to the courthouse and I would imagine the value in this real estate is in its office space and the parking available."

Those doubters among us knew this already right, the following article was grabbed from off the net by yours truly - enjoy R.
ROME (Reuters) - Your heartbeat accelerates, you have butterflies in the stomach, you feel euphoric and a bit silly. It's all part of falling passionately in love -- and scientists now tell us the feeling won't last more than a year.
The powerful emotions that bowl over new lovers are triggered by a molecule known as nerve growth factor (NGF), according to Pavia University researchers.
The Italian scientists found far higher levels of NGF in the blood of 58 people who had recently fallen madly in love than in that of a group of singles and people in long-term relationships.
But after a year with the same lover, the quantity of the 'love molecule' in their blood had fallen to the same level as that of the other groups.
The Italian researchers, publishing their study in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology, said it was not clear how falling in love triggers higher levels of NGF, but the molecule clearly has an important role in the "social chemistry" between people at the start of a relationship.

Oxymorons-those odd combinations of opposites like "jumbo shrimp" or "controlled chaos"-come naturally to some Corvette owners. After all, it's their car, so they can mix things up anyway they want, right? Steve Katonis and his C5 supercharged 2002 Chevrolet Corvette fit this attitude to a "T." Reflecting Katonis' own contradictory nature, it's a car with a serious supercharger under the hood, but engine covers embellished with the Looney Tunes' twirling Tasmanian Devil. (And we haven't even gotten to the electric wine rack in the back yet.) But these jumbled elements all seem to fit together in some strange way, just like what he does for a living.
By day, Katonis machines precision fittings for NASA's space shuttle, along with other high-tech aerospace applications. Odd thing is, he also makes beverage dispensers for liquor bars. (We can just imagine him staring at a titanium valve for rocket fuel, and, in a sudden, crazed moment of paradoxical logic, saying to himself, "Hey, wouldn't this doohickey be a heckuva way to pour a shot of scotch?")
Getting back to his Vette, when we saw all these different aspects tossed into a bundle and shaken, not stirred, we went with it. Not only that, his daughter Tracy was a good sport about posing with a rifle on her hip (we just happened to have one in the back of our photo truck, but that had nothing to do with the car, other than making for a catchy title).
This unusual combination just seemed to fit after we saw the motorized sliding rack deploy a bottle of vintage wine from "Rolling Audio," the name of the shop that installed the car's home-theater-quality audio/video system. We also got a kick out of the emergency corkscrew mounted behind a pane etched with the words "In Case of Good Times, Break Glass."
All of which brings us to our title, "Guns n' Rosé" (actually, the bottle was Merlot, but you get the drift). It's a jungle out there in the performance world, but all for some fun 'n' games, as Axl's lyrics suggest. To make sure his C5 had a wild streak for taking on the great outdoors, Katonis went to Roseville, California's, Motor Sport Image (MSI) and selected all the parts he could think to give his rocket a speedy liftoff. (Alert students of English, like our esteemed editor, will spot the mixed metaphor that's entirely fitting in this case.)
"I was looking to build a Pro Street, but wanted an American car that handled-good, fast, and dependable," says Katonis. "This yellow C5 was the fit for me."
After purchasing the car new in 2002, he got that Pro Street firepower by having the capable crew at MSI feed more airflow through a Halltech Trap intake to a Magnuson intercooled blower. MSI has done more than three-dozen engine installations like this one, so its techs knew how to make the most of the package.
"We've found that the larger TPIS headers create more backpressure," explains MSI's Terry Fong. "So we went to a slightly smaller Magnuson pulley, from 3.3 to 3.5 inches, in order to compensate." Since the LS6 internals are still stock, the boost is set at a streetable 6 pounds.
In addition to a Superchips reflash of the factory computer, Romans Designs optimized the tune to squeeze out an extra 30 horses, for a grand total of 490 hp at the wheels, along with commensurate torque figures. Fong says the standard tune from Magnuson is fairly conservative, with a fat, rich fuel map for the included 50-lb/hr injectors. This allows for additional tweaking by Romans, which requires a few extra hours of data-logging and drive time.
Igniting the pressurized mix of fuel and air is a set of Taylor Thunderbolt 50 HP wires. Once lit, the exhaust gasses flow furiously through the TPIS long-tube headers and into a GHL exhaust with an X-style pipe. A Griffin radiator with oil cooler keeps a lid on the temps, while the hot fluids flow through stainless-steel braided lines. The six-speed tranny is factory, but upgraded with a Hyper Single Disc clutch and a B&M Ripper shifter.

PCBs in Schools Research - Questions and Answers
Why is EPA conducting research on PCBs in schools?
Caulk containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was used in some buildings, including schools, from the 1950s to the 1970s. Generally, schools and buildings built after 1979 do not contain caulk with PCBs. In September 2009, EPA announced new guidance for school administrators and building managers for managing PCBs in caulk in order to help minimize possible exposure. In response to public concern, EPA scientists began researching PCB sources, studying methods to reduce PCB emissions and evaluating exposures in school buildings. Although some data are available, it is not known how widely and at what levels PCBs are present in air, dust, and on surfaces. EPA is helping to fill these information gaps to improve the understanding of exposure to PCBs and to evaluate methods that can be used to cost-effectively reduce PCBs in schools.
What updates has EPA made to its guidance as a result of its research?
EPA has updated its guidance in the following areas:
Ventilation: EPA has indicated that minimizing PCBs in indoor air is an important first step to lessen exposure. EPAs specific guidance indicates to do so by ensuring the ventilation system is operating as designed and repair or improve the system if it is not.
Ballasts: EPA strengthened its recommendation for replacement of PCB-containing ballasts even if they are not leaking because they can still emit PCBs during use and ruptures and leaks cause high PCB emissions which can result in exposure and larger clean-up costs.
Secondary Sources: EPA explained that research has shown that there are primary (e.g. caulk, ballasts) and secondary (e.g. dust, paint, ceiling and floor tiles) sources of PCBs.
Deteriorating Caulk: EPA removed statements suggesting that there is a greater concern for deteriorating caulk and adding language indicating that old caulk that is still flexible or in visibly good condition could be a source of PCBs in the air.
Testing Caulk: EPA added language stating that the only way to know if caulk has PCBs is to have a professional test the caulk.
Encapsulation: EPA added language explaining results of research encapsulants may be an effective way to reduce exposure to PCBs in surrounding contaminated areas after the caulk has been removed.
What are the results of the PCBs studies?
In total, EPA has released five studies and a literature review. In November 2012, EPA released research results from 3 of the studies and the literature review and in January 2013 EPA released two additional studies. All of the research results are described below.
Study 1 confirmed that emissions from old caulk causes elevated PCBs in the surrounding air. Old fluorescent light ballasts were also tested for PCB emissions. The emission rates for fluorescent light ballasts containing PCBs were small at room temperature for non-leaking light ballasts but increased significantly at temperatures similar to those reached during operation. Fluorescent lighting fixtures that still contain their original PCB-containing light ballasts have exceeded their designed lifespan, and the chance for rupture and emitting PCBs is significant.
Study 2 concluded that some building materials (e.g., paint and masonry walls) and indoor dust can absorb PCB emissions and become potential secondary sources for PCBs. Once the primary PCB-emitting source is removed, the secondary sources are likely to begin emitting PCBs on their own. Although the rate of emissions is typically lower than emissions from the primary sources, these secondary sources can have large surface areas. These secondary sources may make mitigation more complex. A remediation plan must consider the potential effects of secondary sources.
Study 3 described an emission containment method called encapsulation, where PCB sources are coated with a coating material that separates the source from its surrounding environment to reduce PCB emissions. EPA scientists found encapsulation to be a solution to the PCB emissions issue, but it is only effective at reducing air concentrations to desirable levels when PCB content in the source is low. Selecting high-performance coating materials is key to effective encapsulation. Multiple layers of coatings enhance the performance of the encapsulation. Ten commercially available coatings are ranked in the report for effectiveness. Encapsulating sources that contain high levels of PCBs may still be beneficial but may not be sufficient to reduce the air concentration to the desirable level. Thus, encapsulating old caulk can only be used as a temporary measure before the caulk is removed.
Study 4 evaluated another method to reduce exposure to PCBs called Active Metal Treatment System (AMTS), developed by NASA and its collaborators. AMTS eliminates PCBs by dechlorination and can remove PCBs from paint, up to several thousand parts per million, using a form of chemical scrubbing. Results from the study show that the current AMTS can remove PCBs from paint effectively but the method tested is less effective in removing PCBs from thicker sources such as caulk and concrete because of its limited penetration ability. The AMTS method that was tested in this study is not designed to remove PCBs from these other sources. However, NASA recently developed an improved method that could be tested to see if it works to remove PCBs from these other sources.
Study 5 generated limited data for characterizing real-world PCB sources and environmental levels in six schools that were built or renovated from the 1950s to the 1970s. EPA exposure scientists collected air, dust, soil, and surface wipe samples from one old school building scheduled for demolition. From this same school, scientists also collected samples from building materials like caulk, tile and paint. In addition, scientists used environmental and building material PCB measurement data provided by EPA Region 2 that was gathered from five schools by the New York City School Construction Authority. The measurement data collected from these five schools included measurements from the schools before mitigation methods were implemented and after mitigation methods were implemented. A model was used to predict exposures that a typical student might experience based on the PCB measurement data. The measurements collected from the five New York City schools following PCB mitigation actions were inputted into the model and it predicted that less than 1% of the students would have exposures exceeding the reference dose following mitigation. Not surprisingly, the identified sources of PCBs were caulk and light ballasts containing PCBssimilar to the sources identified by the EPA laboratory study (see above).

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsMarch 20, 2013
When optimizing your career center's website for mobile, it's important to be aware of the hardware and software visitors use to access it, according to Brett Pollak, director of the campus web office at University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
"It begins with analyzing the analytics," he says.
Pollak reports that at UCSD, websites are seeing about a half-percent per month increase in mobile traffic. Currently, the campus home page receives about 16 percent of its traffic from mobile devices and the student portal receives about 20 percent mobile traffic.
"As we dug deeper, we realized websites or applications targeting students had a higher rate of mobile traffic compared to resources geared toward faculty or staff," Pollak explains. "This resonated with us since we support a web content management system that contains more than 110 campus websites that primarily target students."
One of those websites—UCSD's career services website—is being transitioned to use responsive web design (RWD), Pollak says, so it will "look great on everything from large monitors to the smallest mobile devices."
"The advantage with RWD," he explains, "is you can create one site with one set of code and the layout automatically conforms to the resolution of the device accessing the site. A responsive website doesn't require the user to pinch and zoom to navigate around and read the text."
Pollak identifies several other key steps for career services offices to take to optimize their websites:
Pollak says it's incumbent upon those supporting websites to make sure they work on mobile devices.
"For example," he says, "if you're using Flash, your users may not be able to access the information they need. You're running the risk of alienating your audience."
While he points out that supporting mobile isn't difficult if you're doing the basics, the next steps to making the site responsive can be challenging because doing so is a relatively new approach that members of the technical staff may not have experienced. To deal with this challenge, UCSD's content management system (CMS) is centralized, and free for qualifying academic and administrative units to use.
"This has been a great way to ensure one group is responsible for analyzing the web trends and ensuring all sites in the CMS are up to standards," Pollak says. "Not only does this help technical support, but it will save costs through consolidating hosting and maintenance."
You can find out more about UCSD's CMS at http://cwo.ucsd.edu/.

In May, 2003, psychogeographers from the U.S., Canada, U.K., France and the Netherlands gathered in New York for Psy-Geoconflux Participants conducted experimental walks using computer code, decks of cards and other systems for navigation; a mobile-phone-guided drift through the streets of New York; a life-sized chess game using humans as pieces; several talks and presentations; a noise parade; an art exhibition; and a night of psychogeography-inspired live music, DJs, and video. Village Voice writer Bryan Zimmerman noted, "The event is centered around a seasoned yet growing field of creative recreation and alt-geographic exploration called psychogeography. Trying to define this obtuse field is an adventure itself, although a relatively straightforward definition includes "the study of the effects of the geographic environment on the emotions and behavior of individuals." One of the boldest characteristics of psychogeography may be its ability to influence and bring together all kinds of artists, social scientists, philosophers, urban provocateurs and spelunkers, and even traditional geographers, in an entirely accessible venue-public space. The 2003 Conflux was co-produced by ABC No Rio, the Brooklyn Psychogeographical Association and Glowlab.
Conflux 2004 featured a full program of events over the course of four days, including experimental walks using altered maps and navigational aids; high-tech drifts through the city using wearable computing devices; a walking presentation of an urban documentary project commissioned by the New Museum of Contemporary Art; a gallery exhibition; a series of temporary installations, lectures, audio and video works and more. The second annual event took place at PARTICIPANT INC non-profit arts center on the Lower East Side, and included over 50 participating international artists and groups.
In 2005, Conflux was hosted by Providence Initiative for Psychogeographic Studies in Providence, Rhode Island as Provflux.
In 2006, the 3rd annual Conflux was held in Brooklyn for the first time on September 14–17. McCaig-Welles Gallery in Williamsburg will serve as Conflux headquarters, with events taking place in and around the gallery.

FIT IS GREAT UNDER HELMETRead All Reviews
Tyler in PA
Rode one time with it on and I am happy! I got it because I wanted something that would work a little better than a bandanna wrapped around my face while riding in the cold weather. It works great under my helmet and didn't stretch out after riding all day. The only thing that kinda stinks in the seam goes right thru the middle of your face... it is a little annoying at times. But I forgot about that most of the day, so it must not have bothered me too much. Would buy again.Read All Reviews

As 80-year-old Roy Jarvis
"I found I didn't have good coordination but didn't understand why," recalls Jarvis. "I retired early, still not cognizant that there was anything particularly wrong."
Early the next morning, Jarvis attended a 12-step meeting of Codependents Anonymous (CODA) and remarked to a friend that there was something wrong with the way he was feeling. Wisely, his friend suggested they head to Eisenhower Medical Center.
"I knew the route very well because I volunteer at the Betty Ford Center several times a week," Jarvis says, referring to the renowned alcohol and drug addiction treatment facility on the Eisenhower campus. "So instead of turning right to the Betty Ford Center, we proceeded straight ahead to the Eisenhower Emergency Department."
"There was a gentleman there in scrubs who said to me, 'Hi, what's going on?'" Jarvis relates. "I told him I thought maybe I'd had a stroke because, while I didn't have too much of a problem communicating, my left arm and leg weren't functioning right."
Jarvis was brought into an exam room for some initial tests, and then transported to diagnostic imaging for an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan to take a look at what was happening inside his body.
"By this time, I was nervous and trembling," he admits. "The doctors and nurses were very soothing, talking to me the entire time, and they gave me an injection to calm me down since I'm claustrophobic."
After his scan, Jarvis was admitted to the hospital. There, the doctors told him that he had, indeed, had a stroke. The MRI had also revealed something suspicious in his spine, and some additional diagnostic imaging was necessary.
"I said I didn't really want to have another MRI because of my claustrophobia," Jarvis continues. "But they explained that it was really important, and that they'd do everything possible to make me comfortable. There was an element of trust, and I felt as if I was in the right place with the right people."
The additional testing confirmed that Jarvis had cancer in his spine.
"I've had prostate cancer for five years," he explains. "I'd had radiation therapy when I was first diagnosed, and had monthly injections to regulate certain hormones in the body. But I was totally unaware that the cancer had left the prostate area and spread to my spine. It was hard news to digest and it made me sad, questioning my future.
"But I'm a firm believer that what happens is what is meant to be," he continues. "I was grateful that I ended up in the emergency room at Eisenhower, and that the doctors and technologists discovered what was going on in my body. If I hadn't had this stroke, who knows when it would have been discovered that the cancer had spread? It really was a stroke of luck," he smiles.
Jarvis underwent physical and occupational therapy to help him regain use of his left arm and leg, the after-effects of his stroke.
"By the time I had gotten to Eisenhower, the time frame for giving me clot-busting drugs had passed, so this type of physical rehab was the treatment," he says. When stroke symptoms occur as the result of a clot that blocks blood flow to the brain — as in Roy's case — there is only about a four and a half-hour window during which a drug called tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) can be administered to help dissolve the clot, underscoring the importance of seeking prompt medical attention if you think you are having a stroke.
Jarvis also is undergoing treatment for the prostate cancer that spread to his spine.
"I'm back on monthly injections, and I also receive an intravenous bone-building medication to help strengthen my spine," he says. "The oncologist checks my blood every 30 days to monitor my PSA (prostate-specific antigen, a hormone produced by the prostate gland) and testosterone levels, and there's the possibility of some additional radiation treatments."
"My stroke brought me the opportunity to treat my cancer," Jarvis continues. "We can't cure or eradicate it, but I can get on the right path to manage it."
His health challenges haven't slowed him down. A native Canadian, Jarvis and a companion — also originally from Canada — are planning a summer road trip to western Canada, starting in Victoria and back down to the U.S. through Vancouver. Last summer, they drove across the United States and explored their respective families' roots in eastern Canada.
He also remains active in the local CODA group, and is serving as chairman of a southern California CODA conference slated for this June.
"I live an active life," he says, with masterful understatement. Before retiring, Jarvis was the advertising manager at a California daily newspaper for 30 years, and then served for a decade as the executive director of a volunteer organization involved in grand prix racing in Long Beach.
"It was good preparation for my volunteer work now, getting things done," he says.
"I continue to be grateful for Eisenhower Medical Center," he adds. "I've come to understand and appreciate all the things they do and the services they have. There's a heartbeat, a pulse, a caring feeling about the place. I was in good hands."

Lucas Hall: A building recycled
Ribbon cutting at Lucas Thursday, Oct. 28 at 5:15 p.m.
SALEM, Va. - Roanoke College's Lucas Hall reopened this fall after an impressive makeover. The classic character of the structure remained intact while the renovation expanded the building from 13,449 square feet to over 26,000. On certification, Lucas will be Roanoke College's first LEED project, signifying the campus's commitment to sustainability.
Early on, a commitment was made to seek LEED certification from the United States Green Building Council. Sustainable features in Lucas include mechanical, lighting and electrical systems designed to achieve increased energy efficiency, dual flush toilets, motion-activated faucets and light fixtures as well as high performance windows. A storm water treatment system captures and removes pollutants and rainfall runoff.
Ninety-five percent of existing walls, floors and roof areas were retained or reused. At least 87 percent of non-hazardous construction waste was recycled and diverted from landfills. Over 50 percent of all wood products are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and more than ten percent of all materials used to renovate Lucas Hall came from recycled products.
Design elements that include cutting-edge technology and flexibility of space were incorporated as often as possible. The building includes a high-tech media classroom, a computer lab, larger workspaces to accommodate more modes of technology and audio-visual equipment prominent in classrooms and meeting spaces. Two classrooms have retractable walls, which can be used to create one much larger space if needed. Television monitors in lobby areas will air telecasts related to foreign languages curricula. A rooftop garden terrace provides additional outdoor space to enhance the meeting and teaching experience.
The successful renovation and expansion of Lucas Hall provides a lynchpin for Roanoke's commitment to maintaining its classic college setting while minimizing its impact on the environment. Maroons everywhere should revel in this green feat.
Roanoke College, an independent, co-educational, four-year liberal arts college in Salem, Virginia, combines firsthand learning with valuable personal connections in a classic, undergraduate setting. Roanoke prepares students for their futures through its commitment to providing a true classic college experience. Roanoke is one of just 276 colleges nationwide with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most prestigious honor society. The Princeton Review names Roanoke as one of the "best in the Southeast" and U.S. News & World Report includes Roanoke on its "Up-and-coming National Liberal Arts Colleges" list.
