Authorized Transcript
This interview was conducted with Harold Fisher on March 1st, 2006, in the library on the Western Washington University campus. The interviewer is Tamara Belts. Mr. Fisher's daughter Susan Rindal [SR] is present and friend Henrietta Moseley.
TB: Today is Wednesday, March 1st 2006 and I am Tamara Belts. I am here to do an oral history with Mr. Harold Fisher. Henrietta Moseley and his daughter Susan Rindal are also here and may make some comments. Our first question is how did you happen to attend the Campus School?
HF: I asked my mother once how we got here. Usually the professors' children were always in the Campus School and I think they tried to use some of the general public, also. I don't know how my mother ever enrolled me in the school, but I was very, very fortunate to be there, along with some of my friends. There was just a mixture of the public community that went to this school.
TB: Alright. Did anyone else in your family attend the Campus School and what were their names?
HF: My sister also attended here. She was a year behind me. Her name is Jo Ann Fisher. She and I both went Kindergarten through ninth grade.
TB: What is her married name?
HF: C. M. Jones.
TB: What were the years and grades of your attendance?
HF: My attendance at Campus School was 1931 to 1941; that would be Kindergarten through ninth grade.
TB: Did your family pay any fees for your attendance at Campus School?
HF: Not to my knowledge. That was one question I had too, whether my parents paid. I don't think they had to pay.
TB: No, we think it was [considered a] public school. Where did you live when you attended the Campus School and how did you get to and from school (and please share any favorite memories of this experience)?
HF: I lived three miles from here out on Eldridge Avenue, which is heading out toward Marine Drive. It's right on the bluff overlooking Bellingham Bay. I came to school on the street car. The street car ran out to the end of Eldridge Avenue, turned around and came back. I rode the street car from 1931 to 1938. It went all the way through town up Garden Street to Garden Terrace. That's where we unloaded. After 1938, they changed to busing.
TB: Did you have to make any switches on the street car or did the street car came straight up here?
HF: Straight through. We were lucky.
TB: Yes. What did you do for lunch?
HF: I was just thinking about that the other day. I think I always had a lunch pail. My mother always made my lunch for me. On a rare occasion I think we went through the cafeteria and got a bowl of soup or whatever. Lunch pails were what we used in those days.
TB: When you were going to the Campus School it was in Old Main, or how we refer to Old Main.
HF: Correct.
TB: Where was the lunch room there?
HF: It was on the lower floor and it was more toward the north end in a room off to the west. The cafeteria and lunch room were down there and kitchen.
TB: Do you remember any favorite classmates and can you name them for us?
HF: Yes. I've got a list somewhere of my favorite classmates. Ned Carrick, Bill Radcliff, Dick Brunswig, Jo Ann Haggard (who was the daughter of President Haggard), Clarimonde Hicks (she was the daughter of one of the professors).
TB: Right, Dr. Hicks.
HF: Yes. Phyllis Olsen, Janet Brunswig, many names.
TB: Those are all sounding familiar. I like that! Who were your favorite or most influential teachers?
HF: My favorite teachers, I think my biggest favorite was Priscilla Kinsman. She was my Kindergarten teacher; Katherine Casanova, she was my first. I had several. I think in fifth grade Evelyn Odom. She was a friend. She lived with Miss Channer. She just came from back east and she had a very peculiar language. We used to laugh about her. Van Pelt and Paul Grim, he was the ninth grade teacher. We always enjoyed him.
TB: Can you talk a little bit more about why you liked like Miss Kinsman? Can you think of anything specific?
HF: Well she was always so happy and pleasant. She was very cheerful. She always had a nice attitude about her and always had a nice smile. I kind of enjoyed her as being another mother I guess at that time.
TB: What about Miss Casanova?
HF: She was a little more strict and more formal but I remember her. She wasn't quite as pleasant to be around as Kinsman, but we enjoyed her.
TB: Anything about Miss Elliot?
HF: She lived way out on Marine Drive. I enjoyed her. I don't have any particular memories of her. I had Mildred Moffatt for the third grade. I remember one day she sent me home from school because I tossed a pencil across the room. I had to ride the street car home. Mother didn't like that! Pearl Merriman, I don't hardly remember her. Miss Van Pelt, she was very strict but I enjoyed her. All these teachers I had, there were about nine woman teachers and they were all single. I guess at that time they couldn't be married.
TB: Do you remember any of your student teachers?
HF: I can remember one name. Sarles I think it was. It was in our PE class. I do not remember the names of any of the student teachers. We sure had many student teachers and we always had at least one or two every three times a year or so. I do not remember the names, no.
TB: What were your favorite subjects or classroom activities?
HF: We always had an activity room next to our classrooms. I remember in grade school we had to have cooking classes, sewing classes, and typing classes. I remember Mr. Ruckmick had industrial arts classes. Sam Carver used to have swimming. Miriam Snow, she was the librarian, used to have library classes. They were always interesting. I felt very fortunate to have all these extra abilities that we were subjected to.
TB: Excellent. I've heard about that activity room before. Was that something also that you could do if you finished your other assignments, go in and start working on your art projects?
HF: It was always connected right to our regular classroom. All the rooms had two rooms. I never seemed to finish my class work, but we always had hand work, hand classes. We made puppets. We made Egyptian cloth and so forth. We did all our yearbooks and writing in this particular classroom and a little bit of hand work and using tools and so forth.
TB: Wow. What kinds of learning materials did you mostly use? Did you use regular textbooks or materials created by your teachers?
HF: I cannot remember any use of textbooks. I think the information was always provided by the teachers. We did not have regular textbooks that I can remember.
TB: What kind of grading system was in use during your attendance (letter grades or narrative reports)?
HF: Most of the early report cards were all narrative. They were all written. I think later on when we got into more grades, maybe eighth or ninth grade [letter grades were used] but the earlier ones were all written out.
TB: Do you especially remember any creative activities such as weaving, making things, etc?
HF: I remember in the industrial arts once my project was making a set of skis with Mr. Ruckmick. I made little boats and so forth. I remember first or second grade I made a couple fishing boats out of pieces of wood, and some of the classes we made puppets. We had puppet shows. We did a lot of writing. Another thing, we had Miss Gragg, she was our writing teacher. She taught us penmanship. We would go round and round and round. I remember that; how to hold your pen and whatnot. I guess we had a lot of experiences.
TB: When you had the puppet show, did the students write the play?
HF: Yes.
TB: And you were talking about writing. Did you learn cursive from her or just printing?
HF: Cursive.
TB: You did learn cursive; a lot of people have been talking about penmanship issues! So what was it like for you to be observed so often by student teachers?
HF: We got very used to having the student teachers come in and observe. They would bring their little folding stools in, sit in the back of the classroom. We got very used to this, and sometimes we kind of performed for them. It didn't bother us; we were just used to that type of activity.
TB: Did you attend summer school at the Campus School and if so, why?
HF: One year I attended summer school. I was having a little bit of trouble I think in certain classes. That was the only time I attended summer school. I forget how long it was, but it was kind of interesting.
TB: Was it very different from the regular school year?
HF: Not too much.
TB: What-out-of-classroom activities did you engage it? What did you do at recess, lunchtime, what did you enjoy the most and what games did you play?
HF: There were two or three little gyms we could use. We always played games like dodge ball, intramural basketball and whatnot. I forget what grade I was in; we had dancing. I still have floor burns on my knees from the dancing class! It was mainly just physical activities. We played ball games and so forth, and the dancing.
TB: Did you visit the college itself, the college library, attend assemblies, sporting events or anything else at the college when you were in the Campus School (and then any special memories of that experience)?
HF: We always had library classes. We entered the heavy wrought iron doors. Miriam Snow was the librarian and she would always conduct the classes for us. She was later married to Mr. Mathes I guess. Up on the third floor of Old Main was an auditorium and they had a large balcony around there. As Campus School students we would always attend assemblies there that were provided for the student teachers. When they had special programs, we as students could attend along with the students. It was very interesting and I think we were real lucky to be involved in this.
TB: At what grade level did you enter public schools? Why did you transfer and what was the transition like for you?
HF: I was never in the public school. I started in Campus School in Kindergarten through ninth grade. From ninth grade I went on to high school. I was never in a public [elementary] school.
TB: What was it like when you went to tenth grade? Did that seem different or hard?
HF: It wasn't too hard a transition; a lot of my old classmates that I had gone to school with for ten years were also there. We did not have too much trouble assimilating with the rest of the public.
TB: Did you find that your group continued to kind of stick together?
HF: Pretty much so.
TB: Did you go to Bellingham High School then?
HF: Yes.
TB: Do you have any other thoughts about specific differences between public school and the Campus School?
HF: The only thing I can think is that I feel that I was very fortunate to have gone to Campus School and have all these different activities that we were involved in. I think it was much better than being in the public school where you didn't have these opportunities.
TB: What further education did you pursue (college, graduate or professional school)?
HF: After I got out of World War II I started at Western Washington College in the fall of 1946, a full one quarter, then I went to Washington State (at that time it was College) in Pullman for two years. I didn't do too well in scholastic work there so I started working at Morse's Hardware in Bellingham. My wife finally transferred over from WSC. She talked me into going back to Western, so for three more years I went back to Western and I got into education. I never wanted to be a teacher but I was a teacher for 31 years. I graduated in 1951 as a teacher. I had a [BA in Education]. I should mention too that that was the last quarter that they could allow you to have a BA and fifth year. Later on I took another year to get my principal's credentials and then I took another year to get my master's degree, so I have gone to college for a long time! Seven years!
TB: Were all those other degrees at Western? You got your principal's papers and your master's at Western?
HF: Correct.
TB: Excellent. If you later attended Western and majored in education, did you observe or teach in the Campus School and what was that experience like?
HF: I never did do any student teaching in the Campus School. I would like to have had, but I didn't. I did my student teaching at Whatcom Junior High School and Sunnyland grade school.
TB: How did your attendance of the Campus School influence your life and/or career?
HF: I would say the friends and acquaintances that I [made] and grew up with in Campus School. I still have many friends today that were in this class.
TB: Nice. And you are still in touch with some of your classmates?
HF: Yes I am. We still have just Campus School reunions.
TB: We have their names attached. Would you be willing to serve as a contact person for your class for the purpose of encouraging participation in the Campus School reunion planned for 2007?
HF: I think I had mentioned, perhaps. I don't like to get too involved but I could help out.
TB: And you have also provided some Campus School memorabilia, including some photographs and class work. Please share with us any favorite memories from your Campus School days and any comments about areas not covered by the questions above.
HF: I remember sometimes we took little walks or little hikes up on Sehome Hill. That used to be a treat, going up there and seeing the petrified log over the tunnel up there and then getting out on the campus in front of Old Main up on the old knoll. Getting on the grass was a 'no-no,' but once in a while we would do that and have a little outing out there. That was kind of interesting.
TB: I'm curious, I've heard a lot of people talk about how they were not supposed to be on the grass during the Haggard era, but in fact you were there before Haggard. So Dr. Fisher was really fussy about the grass, too?
HF: Yes. And I can remember one of the maintenance men, his name was [George] Dack, and he had little signs out every once in a while on the grass, 'Keep off.' I can still remember this.
TB: So where was the playground for the kids in the training school?
HF: It seems like most of our physical activities were in gyms. I think our playground is more in the area where the Campus School building was built. That used to be the football field. There was an old wooden grandstand out there. I think that is sometimes where we had our outside activities.
TB: Any other comments about anything I didn't ask?
HF: I think not.
TB: Terrific. Mr. Fisher also attended what we now call Western Washington University, so he is considered one of our Golden Vikings and we are going to also ask him those questions. Why did you choose to attend Western as a college student?
HF: Well for one reason, it was close to home. We lived here. It was cheaper that way. It was just kind of handy to be here. I liked smaller schools. I didn't ever want to go to the University of Washington, so Western was kind of natural. I started here right after World War II and there were not too many men there and lots of women! I enjoyed it then.
TB: So a lot of men didn't come back right away after the service?
HF: They kind of dwindled back – 1945, 1946.
TB: What were your dates of attendance at Western?
HF: My first quarter was in spring of 1946 and then later on I came back in 1948, '49, '50, somewhere around there.
TB: What degrees or certificates did you receive from Western?
HF: I had my BA in Education and then I got my fifth year and then later on I got my principal credentials and the master's degree. That was later on. But I got a BA in 1951.
TB: What was your first job after leaving Western and please also provide a brief employment history.
HF: I started interviewing right after I graduated in 1951 to maybe start teaching in the fall of '51. I started interviews all the way from Lynden in this state down to Longview [Washington]. We stopped at many, many places for interviews. I skipped Mount Vernon because I had no interest in that; it was just a wide spot in the road. But that is where I ended up in my career! After I did all my interviewing up and down the coast, I came back and a friend of mine helped me have an interview in Mount Vernon and I started there in 1951 and I spent 31 years there, until 1982.
TB: Wow. Have any other family members attended Western?
HF: I had a Mother that graduated somewhere around 1920 from Western. I had a son, Jeff Fisher, he attended in the '70s, '80s; his wife Debbie, my wife Jody, my granddaughter Jane.
[SR]: He graduated in 1978 or '79.
HF: My mother went here, I went here, my son Jeff went here, and then my granddaughter, Jane Rindal, went here a couple years ago. Its four generations of our family that attended here.
TB: What was your mother's name?
HF: Ethel Burklund.
TB: Are there any personal achievements you would like us to know about, such as awards, citations, decorations, personal bests of any sort? I think that kind of relates to your career.
HF: I didn't have any particular achievements, but I do remember one time that President Haggard invited me to perform a half-hour concert on the pipe organ in the music hall so I gave a summer concert one time on the pipe organ. I knew him personally. His daughter was in our class. That's one of my highlights I think.
TB: Yes, that was a nice organ because it was probably brand new.
HF: Yes it was.
TB: That is a real personal best! Where did you live most of the time while you attended Western and any favorite memories of these experiences?
HF: When I attended Western I started at my parents' house out on Eldridge Avenue. I lived in Bellingham until I got my BA. I lived on Forest Street and then for my principal's credentials and master's degree, I lived in Mount Vernon, Washington and drove to Bellingham.
TB: Who were your favorite or most influential teachers and please tell us why?
HF: I think one of my favorite teachers was Keith Murray. He was a very interesting fellow. He always had a lot of enthusiasm. The last time I saw him was at the St. James Street Presbyterian Church for a wedding I attended. I also had one teacher, Paul Woodring, he taught classes I attended. I always had him for a class right after lunch and he had a monotone voice and he could put me to sleep! Oh boy. I shouldn't mention that!
TB: No, that's the good stuff! What was your main course of study?
HF: I started into education, into teaching, and I took some music classes. I was in the choir. I was in the orchestra one time. Don Bushell, he taught orchestra for me. I was real interested in music at that time and I can remember him well. I always enjoyed him. I think those would be my main favorite teachers. I had several.
TB: Which classes did you like best and/or learn the most from?
HF: We're talking about college now?
TB: Yes.
HF: I think maybe English class, history. I think I had Van Aver once for an [English] teacher and Hunt. I think these are just general classes I took to help prepare me for teaching.
TB: How did you like Van Aver?
HF: I didn't! [Laughter]
TB: I've heard two different sides of him. Obviously I don't know the man. What activities did you most enjoy, such as sports, clubs, student government? Obviously music.
HF: I took a little bit of intramural basketball but mainly in music. I enjoyed singing in the choir, playing in the orchestra, playing the organ. Those are my main enjoyments. I enjoyed music. That was one thing I didn't necessarily want to teach but I wanted to keep it for avocation, which I did.
TB: Please share with us any other outstanding memories of your college days.
HF: I think once in a while we would go out to Lake Whatcom. They called it "Normalstad" at that time. They had different activities. I think in PE classes we played a little golf. It was more fun to hit the balls up in the woods. We had many dances.
TB: And the last question is always 'please take a moment to consider the impact on your life of your education and experiences at Western.'
HF: Well I feel that I was very fortunate to go here. I think I personally enjoyed many of the professors. A lot of them I knew by name and they knew me. I think that made a lot of difference in my education too, where they took a personal interest. I am glad to have gone here. I have good memories here, good experiences.
TB: Excellent. Thank you very much.

A widow has paid tribute to her fundraising husband who helped her foster more than 80 children.
Anthony Root, of Bond Street, Stratford, died on January 24 aged 82, from motor-neurone disease.
He and his wife, Kathleen, 79, were foster parents to more than 80 children in the 1960s and 1970s as Anthony raised money for the RNLI at St Andrew's Church in St Andrew's Road, Leytonstone.
Kathleen, who lived in Stratford with her husband, said: "Tony was in the air force for two years, while he did his national service, between 1948 and 1950.
"When he was a boy of 13, he'd joined the air cadets."
As an adult, he was a civilian training officer at an air cadets' in East Ham and at the 12F Walthamstow and Leyton Squadron in Whipps Cross.
Kathleen: "As a child, he used to fly model aeroplanes on Wanstead Flats and model boats on the lake. He loved a manly life.
"He was very supportive of the fostering and a totally supportive father.
"He was a huge man - terribly well-built and loved his food."
His father was in the merchant navy and Andrew would also fundraise at events around Waltham Forest, with Jean Flanders, a member of the Leytonstone church.

Both Catalent Pharma Solutions and UMN Pharma say they will expand their biologics development and manufacturing interests of multiple biosimilars in the Asian market through an alliance inked today. Japan based UMN Pharma and its subsidiary UNIGEN, a contract manufacturer, will produce a number of biosimilars using Catalent's GPEx cell lines. UMN Pharma, separately, will build an alliance of pharmaceutical companies for product development including clinical trials, marketing, and sales. UMN Pharma plans to begin multiple biosimilar projects with their alliance companies for the Asian market on an ongoing basis.
"There are great synergies between UMN Pharma and Catalent in terms of technologies, business structure, speed, and culture," said Masahiro Michishita, executive chairman of UMN Pharma. "Harnessing Catalent's broad biologics development and cell construction expertise gives UMN Pharma a unique platform to grow our biosimilars business globally."
Founded in 2004, UMN Pharma now has three manufacturing facilities in Japan focused on the development of influenza vaccines based on insect cells. Supported by the Japanese government, the company currently has three 600L bioreactors for influenza vaccine production. In response to the emerging demand for influenza vaccines, new biological entities, and biosimilars, it has commissioned two additional 21,000 L units in Gifu, to be operational by 2013. UMN Pharma will then add another two 21,000 L facility by 2016.
Catalent entered the Japanese market last year with a partnership with Toyobo Biologics to launch its GPEx technology, a pseudo-typed, high-titer vector that generates stable mammalian cell lines.

Henry Chadwick Signed Poem
Starting Bid - $200, Sold For - $823
Poetic birthday greetings from Henry Chadwick, "The Father of Baseball," to his wife, signed simply "Henry" in black fountain pen (grading "10"). The sentimental twenty-four-line poem, scripted on a single fold-over sheet (4.25 x 6.75 inches) is written entirely in Chadwick's hand and addressed "To Jane." The poem reads in part: "To thee, love, to thee, love I turn for strength and aid, the lingering hope which now remains in a world of toil and shade; through the wasted tide of thought may bring but sadness and regret, there's yet a fount which is not dry & star that cannot set – And since my boyhood's worshipped dearly the past beyond recall, how should I fondly prize the love which well atones for all." Although undated, a scripted pencil notation at the base (which may have been written by his wife, Jane) reads "June 25, delightful." Henry Chadwick had a long-standing tradition of writing poems to his wife on her birthday and this example is one of several that were originally obtained directly from Chadwick's estate years ago. The sheet displays two horizontal folds and is in Excellent to Mint condition overall. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $200. Estimate $400/$600. SOLD FOR $823

Litigating Against Poverty: Legal Services and Group Representation

Public debate over the fate of the Legal Services Corporation during the Reagan years came increasingly political, with Reagan Administration officials continuing to call for the total elimination of this poverty law program.New LSC officers seized regional office files, adopted regulations restricting LSC attorneys' representational and nonrepresentational activities, and regulations restricting financial eligibility of applicants for the program. This article focuses on the thoughtful debate between law reform advocates and equal access defenders in the poverty law community. This article evaluates the objections of equal access advocates like Marshall Breger to see if these objections justify currently proposed restrictions on LSC.

The Pro Hunter family of products is the finest crafted interchangeable system available- choose the caliber you desire and, with the removal of two screws and one pin, simply create a "new" gun by replacing the barrel with another caliber. The Pro Hunter's precision fluting helps to strengthen the barrel, dissipate heat, and balance the rifle for natural handling. T/C employs the latest CNC technology to machine both the target crown and the chamber on every Pro Hunter barrel. To assure the ultimate in accuracy every Pro Hunter barrel is machine shot at 100 yards by a Master Gunmaker. The Pro Hunter Turkey has a Realtree AP camo finish on both the barrel and synthetic stock. It features fiber-optic sights and a Sims recoil pad and comes with an extra-full turkey choke.

ROBERTSDALE,. Alabama — Thanks to the Association for Retarded Citizens of Baldwin County, Paul Parker looks forward to work every day. For many years, the 57-year-old Loxley resident has worked at the ARC's laundry facility in Foley. But now, a new facility in Robertsdale lets Parker hone his skills closer to home.
In March, the agency dedicated its new 36,000-square-foot building on McAuliffe Drive in the Robertsdale Industrial Center. The facility, which includes classrooms, a lunchroom and a hydrotherapy room in addition to the commercial laundry center, opened in early April and serves about 150 people, according to ARC Director Kathy Fleet.
The combination training and work facility, which is also a hurricane shelter for special-needs individuals, serves north and central Baldwin County and offers ARC's mentally and physically challenged clients a chance to get together.
"We just provide them with an opportunity to be a part of the community to where they can come and socialize and learn different goals," Fleet says.
Funding for the new facility came from a $5.6 million loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development office and a $3.2 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The 12,000-square-foot laundry center is capable of washing, drying and folding 9 million pounds of linen, whereas the ARC's Foley center processes about 3 million pounds annually, Fleet says.
Bed and bath linen is sent to ARC for cleaning by customers that include area hotels and condominiums. Between its Robertsdale and Foley facilities, about 125 adults fold bath linens. During the last five years, ARC added machines to fold sheets and pillowcases, she says.
The laundry service helps subsidize ARC's operating budget, Fleet said. The bulk of the agency's funding comes from Medicaid, she says, with proceeds also coming from the Baldwin County Strawberry Festival and an annual golf tournament.
Parker, a native of Florala, Ala., and a longtime resident of Baldwin County, is among those who work from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday though Friday, processing linen. The workers get a snack break and a 30-minute lunch period, he says.
"I like to do the linen. I love it," Parker says, grinning widely.
He says he likes being with the people at the center and doing artwork. But what he hopes to do is join the general work force.
"I want to work at Walmart. I want to be a greeter. I'm not no stranger to meet people," Parker says.
Training ranges from independent living skills to money management to skills they can take out into the work force if they get a chance, according to Fleet.
Carolyn Johnson, a training technician, says the clients have a number of class choices at the center and are not stuck in one area all day. They can visit the art, bead, music, computer, game, exercise, recreation and sensory rooms. There is also a green room for working with plants. For those with doctor's orders, physical therapy is provided.
Every other Thursday, the Baldwin County Public Library's Bookmobile comes around for clients to check out library items, Johnson says. Johnson, a Daphne resident, has been working with ARC for the past 16 years. Johnson says she got her start working with the mentally challenged in New York at age 18.
"It's a very rewarding job. It can become challenging at times but it's very rewarding," she says.
She characterized what she does as exciting.
"The individuals we serve, they're sensitive, they're very honest and it kind of drew me to it," she says. "A lot of them, I became very personal with them, with different situations and problems they may have at home or in the community. It makes me feel good when I do something to assist someone and it means something to them, and their eyes just light up. They never forget.
"I don't think I could work anyplace else."

Smoking out the Vortex
By Bruce Gilbaugh
August 25, 1999
On this test we are trying to visualize turbulent air, called a vortex, which creates both good and bad air for aircraft. Vortices can be good, and engineers can use them to help create the lift that airplanes need to stay in the air. But they can also be bad and cause parts of the aircraft to fail. If the vortex that is created goes into the engine it can cause the engine to stop operating, and if it beats on a part like the vertical tail it can fall off.
To visualize the vortex for this test we will inject smoke into the wind tunnel while it is running. Burning pharmaceutical grade mineral oil makes smoke with very fine particles. As the fine particles go across the model some of them will be drawn into the vortices that exist. We may not be able to see these with the naked eye. We are going to take a very thin sheet of light created by a laser and shine it across the model. The reflection of light by the smoke particles will be captured with solid state cameras that can see the laser light. Then we can see the size, shape, and location of the vortex. The thin sheet of light gives a cross section of the vortex, and then we will sweep the model to get lots of cross section images.
The camera is a solid state charge coupled device. They are only black and white and are used in low light situations, similar to surveillance cameras. They are sensitive to infrared light. The laser will project infrared light that uses optical components to create a thin sheet of light. The video is a standard NTSC format. The resulting data is the video record and can be viewed on video recorders.
This is experimental because we have not used the very small smoke particles in this tunnel before. We have used water vapor before, but water has much larger particles. My customer for this data is Mina Cappuccio, and the Boeing Aircraft researchers will be interested in this data too.
The canard on this model is a vortex generator. This data will show where the generated vortex goes. We have also done a video with pink string. The length and size of the string can impact the results with that technique. Smoke has an advantage in that it has less impact on the off body flow field.

4th December 2012 – London, UK – United Learning, one of the UK's largest education providers, has chosen to protect its data with Securstore's Hybrid Cloud solution. With 30,000 students, 5,500 staff, 20 academies and 11 independent schools, United Learning needed a credible, flexible cloud solution with guaranteed confidentiality and data security.
Having realised a Public Cloud option would not suit its data volumes, United Learning instead chose Securstore's Hybrid Cloud model. This meant dedicated infrastructure was implemented at United Learning's own data centre while a secondary, replicated system provided another layer of backup at Securstore's own data centre.
This gives United Learning both a primary and a replicated system under its exclusive control for faster backups and restores. The model is further simplified with a fixed OPEX fee and as the hardware was provided by Securstore, no CAPEX investment was required.
Dick Rowley, Systems Manager, United Learning, said, "Once you have terabytes of data to back up, the market options become more limited - often the solution is not recognised, cannot support the infrastructure or the costs make it unaffordable. With Securstore, the Hybrid model suited our environment and it is delivered under a flat rate fee. The company's support is 24/7 and the team is extremely proactive in informing me of any problems. I would have no hesitation recommending Securstore's services."
The benefit of Securstore's Hybrid approach is that United Learning has the best of both worlds; data protected in the cloud, as well as in its own data centre. Placement of both systems is flexible (i.e. it can be in a data centre, disaster recovery site, head office and/or branch office in its own server room) and the solution supports all common operating systems, applications, virtual environments, laptops and smartphone users. Also, with it being an agentless technology, (i.e. no need to install the software per machine), it makes it easier to manage on a daily basis.
Furthermore, Securstore is ISO 27001 certified by the British Standards Institute and accredited by UKAS. To receive its global accreditations, Securstore had to prove it has systematically addressed all information security risks such as threats, vulnerabilities or potential outside impacts, as well as holding acceptable means to cope with these risks. For United Learning this represents an added safeguard as it knows its backup processes are aligned with regulatory compliance laws on data protection.
Alexander Eiriksson, COO of Securstore, said, "Hybrid or Private Cloud deployment is the only way forward when backing up large volumes of data. Long term, this gives the customer more control, flexibility and scalability in their overall backup strategy. We are delighted to welcome United Learning onboard and look forward to working with them in the years to come."
About United Learning
United Learning is a group of schools which aims to provide excellent education to children and young people across the country. It is inclusive, welcoming children of all backgrounds, all faiths and none and all abilities, giving over 30,000 children an inspiring education. It seeks to improve the life chances of all the children and young people it serves, and makes it its mission to bring out the best in everyone – students, staff, parents and the wider community. Uniquely, its group includes significant numbers of schools in both the public and the private sectors, working together for mutual benefit.

To the serious photographers... see above and I would certainly have a prettier photograph.
The thing is Thursdays are long, long days. The thing is that I pass a Wendy's that serves a similar fast food salad, but I drove right by and prepared my own.
Having said that... this is my very favorite salad because it has all my favorites - Granny Smith green apples, green leaf lettuce, blue cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette.
Green Salad with Apples and Blue Cheese
Yield: To appetite or energy-level
Wash and tear green leaf lettuce leaves
Wash and slice Granny Smith green apples into bite-size pieces
Crumble blue cheese
Prepare salad dressing
Kick up your feet, relax, and enjoy.
Salad Dressing
Just the word 'vinaigrette' used to frighten this novice cook. But, if you are still buying preprepared salad dressings, stop. It is easier than it sounds and it tastes so much better!
Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup good olive oil
- 11/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Combine vinegar, mustard, garlic, pepper, and salt. Slowly whisk in olive oil to create emulsion.
Nutrition Tip:
Using an oil-based salad dressing rather than a thicker, creamier salad dressing will actually help you save calories. Oil-based salad dressings cover more surface area, thus resulting in the need for less dressing. Less salad dressing = fewer calories.

Previous writers1 have commented on the confusion which exists on the subject of intra-abdominal pressure. The recent literature regarding this is small, but one finds many conflicting statements. Some writers state flatly that the intra-abdominal pressure is negative; others, that it is positive, atmospheric or variable. I cannot agree with the assertion in a recent paper2 that "Several facts have been well established in the literature. There is normally a sub-atmospheric pressure within the peritoneal cavity." The authors of this paper used "intraperitoneal" and "intra-abdominal" interchangeably. In succeeding paragraphs it will be shown that it is not "well established in the literature" that the intra-abdominal pressure is negative and also that careful distinction must be made between the terms just referred to. The discrepancies in the literature are due to confusion in the use of these terms and to faulty interpretation of experimental results. The situation was well

2014 USBC Convention comes to a close
Terry Bigham
USBC Communications
Published: April 25, 2014 |
Elected to the USBC board on Friday were (from left): Karl Kielich of El Paso, Texas; Marci Williams of Wichita, Kan.; Jo Dimond of Columbus, Ohio; and Robert Spigner of Chicago.
RENO, Nev. –
Delegates elected four board members and decided eight legislative proposals on Friday, the final day of the 2014 United States Bowling Congress Convention and Annual Meeting.
Delegates took part in seminars, heard from industry leaders and saw the presentation of national awards during the USBC Convention that started Tuesday.
On Friday, the delegates heard from USBC President Andrew Cain and USBC Interim Executive Director Chad Murphy before voting on four open spots on the USBC board.
Current board members Jo Dimond of Columbus, Ohio, Marci Williams of Wichita, Kan., and Robert Spigner of Chicago were elected to the USBC Board of Directors and will be joined by Karl Kielich of El Paso, Texas, who served a two-year term on the board from 2011-2013. The board members will begin their three-year terms Aug. 1.
Each of the four board members elected Friday were selected on the first ballot. Six candidates, each slated by the USBC Nominating Committee, were on the ballot and a candidate needed a majority of the 825 eligible voting delegates for election.
Spigner led the voting with 564 votes followed by Williams (528), Dimond (506), Kielich (460), Jay Daryman (378) of York, Pa., and Brian Bulko (309) of El Paso, Texas.
Kelly Kulick of Union, N.J., recently was re-elected to a second term to the USBC Board by the Athletes Advisory Council. The athletes also elected Rhino Page of Dade City, Fla., to replace Tony Manna Jr., who is completing his third and final term. Board members are limited to three terms. Athletes who have been Team USA members in the past 10 years were eligible to vote to determine the athlete representatives to the board.
The 825 voting delegates (794 association delegates, eight athletes and 23 board members) voted on six proposals relating to USBC bylaws (two were withdrawn), one proposal relating to league rules, and one proposal related to tournament rules during the legislative session. USBC bylaws proposals required a two-thirds vote to pass while league rules and tournament rules required a majority vote.
Five proposals (one league rule, one tournament league rule and three USBC bylaws) were accepted and three proposals (USBC bylaws) were rejected. Please see below for the proposed amendments and the voting results.
USBC also showcased its significant financial support of charitable causes during Convention week.
USBC Bowl for the Cure received a late donation of $25,000 from Barb Chrisman and Storm Products to reach its Your Roll to a Million goal set last year. The late contribution pushed the total donation to Susan G. Komen For The Cure over the $1 million mark to $1,000,427.09.
In 2014, USBC Bowl for the Cure eclipsed the $10 million mark in total donations to Susan G. Komen For The Cure. Go to
for more information on Bowl for the Cure.
The Bowlers to Veterans Link, which raised more than $823,000 for America's active-duty and veteran service men and women, recognized the top state and local associations for their contributions during the 2012-2013 season.
The top BVL state contributors for the season were California ($129,766.33), Virginia ($45,276.90) and Texas ($39,928.71). For local associations, Citrus Belt USBC was the top contributor with $23,026.57 followed by Minneapolis USBC with $15,466.87 and Nation's Capital Area USBC with $15,319. Go to

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Autism, researchers agree, is caused by a mix of genetic and environmental factors. At this point, however, consensus dissolves. Views differ, sometimes dramatically, over the degrees of risk that should be associated with specific factors—and how multiple factors should be added together to better account for how autism occurs.
A key challenge has been harmonizing the different kinds of studies that have been conducted, particular the different kinds of genetic studies, some of which have focused on rare variants, some of which have focused on common variants. Differences in methods and statistical models have resulted in sometimes wildly discrepant estimates of autism's heritability—ranging from 17 to 50%.
Recently, evidence has been mounting that genomes of people with autism are prone to harboring rare mutations, often spontaneous, that exert strong effects and can largely account for particular cases of disease. More challenging is to gauge the collective impact on autism risk of numerous variations in the genetic code shared by most people, which are individually much subtler in effect.
Limitations of sample size and composition make it difficult to detect these effects and to estimate the relative influence of such common, rare inherited, and rare spontaneous variation. These limitations, however, have been overcome in large measure by a recent study, the Population-Based Autism Genetics and Environmental Study (PAGES).
PAGES was made possible by Sweden's universal health registry, which allowed investigators to compare a very large sample of about 3,000 people with autism with matched controls. Researchers also brought to bear new statistical methods that allowed them to more reliably sort out the heritability of the disorder. In addition, they were able to compare their results with a parallel study in 1.6 million Swedish families, which took into account data from twins and cousins, and factors like age of the father at birth and parents' psychiatric history.
After sifting through the data, the PAGES researchers arrived at the following conclusions about autism's genetic architecture: "Its narrow-sense heritability is about 52.4%, with most due to common variation, and rare de novo mutations contribute substantially to individual liability, yet their contribution to variance in liability, 2.6%, is modest compared to that for heritable variation."
These findings appeared July 20 in Nature Genetics, in a paper entitled, "Most genetic risk for autism resides with common variation." Essentially, the PAGES team found that heritability outweighs other risk factors. Moreover, they determined that most of the genetic risk for autism comes from versions of genes that are common in the population rather than from rare variants or spontaneous glitches.
Now that the genetic architecture is better understood, the researchers are identifying specific genetic risk factors detected in the sample, such as deletions and duplications of genetic material and spontaneous mutations. Even though such rare spontaneous mutations accounted for only a small fraction of autism risk, the potentially large effects of these glitches makes them important clues to understanding the molecular underpinnings of the disorder, say the researchers.
"Within a given family, the mutations could be a critical determinant that leads to the manifestation of ASD in a particular family member," explained Joseph Buxbaum, Ph.D., of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and one of the PAGES study's authors. "The family may have common variation that puts it at risk, but if there is also a de novo mutation on top of that, it could push an individual over the edge. So for many families, the interplay between common and spontaneous genetic factors could be the underlying genetic architecture of the disorder."

Created in 2006, contemporary circus-show Traces has been presented more than 1800 times before 1 million people in 25 countries and 200 cities around the world. The show has won multiple awards, been invited to America's Got Talent twice, was on TIME's top 10 list in 2011, and was featured at the Union Square Theater in NYC for a whole year.
Traces takes place in a make-shift shelter, an unknown catastrophe waiting outside the doors of tarp and gaffer tape. In the face of an impending disaster they have determined that creation is the only antidote to destruction. Poetic and explosive, humorous and thoughtful. Combining traditional acrobatic forms with street elements such as skateboarding and basketball, mixed in with some theatre and contemporary dance, it surprises, awes and delights at every turn.

If you require support or have any questions about the service, you can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The service works thus: You write some messages and specify when you want Dead Man's Switch to check up on you. These dates are called "intervals". For example, for intervals of "15, 30, 60", Dead Man's Switch will email you 15 and 30 days after your last checkin. If you don't check in again in that period of time, all your messages will be sent to the message recipient(s) 60 days after your last checkin.
To add a message, go to your home page by the link on the toolbar on top after logging in and click write a new message. Fill in the required fields and press "save message".
To test the service, add a new message and, when asked to specify the intervals on which you would like to be contacted, select "Test message". This will make Dead Man's Switch contact you the next day to make sure you are responsive and send the email to the recipient(s) you have specified one day after that if you do not respond. This way, you do not have to wait for the full two months to test the service, but a mere two days.
If you would like to send a message to many people at the same time just add multiple addresses in the "recipients" field, separated by a comma. There is a limit to how many people per message you can add if you are a regular user.
To ensure that your messages will not be read by anyone other than the intended recipient, the messages are only ever stored securely on our servers. The messages are destroyed after they are sent, and you can delete them at any time.
If this is not enough, you can encrypt your messages using symmetric or asymmetric encryption using widely available software like pgp or gpg. this will ensure that no-one other than the intended recipient will ever be able to see the contents of your message.
You can (and should) access this service securely through SSL using the following URL:

HKU-Award 2010
When we were asked by the annual HKU-Award to come up with a poster using the theme 'superheroes', we decided to design a specific image for each nominee. You can think of them as abstract alter-ego's with a cartoony twist. Like superman bends steel, we produced posters made of metal and transformed them.
The final print was completed with a silk-screened layer of gold. In addition, we did other printed matter as well as the design for the prize itself.

I get lucky every now and then and meet someone positive with a winning spirit who is enthusiastic about life an living. Mr Trent Ohishi who graduated high school recently according to the Facebook page he showed me. He has his whole life ahead of him and by his side is the winning spirit that he can accomplish anything and everything he sets out to do. He will do just that.
I am not sure what he is going to do but he already has plans of building a business of his own- a driving service with customized and personalized services never before seen. Since I am disabled and don't drive -He just might be my personal driver in the future. Time will tell. At any rate, he will succeed because he has the right ammunition to succeed. His spirit and attitude are contageous to everyone around him at work.
The more I talked to him after his shift the more I learned. For now he is one of the multi-talented, bright waiters at Taco De Ojo Sports Cantina & Grill where I go because I enjoy it, but I am also working with the owners for photography work and marketing.
You can see the story I put up tonight at CARestaurantShowCase.com. The photos haven' been shot yet; I am hoping I can arrange with Rod tonight to come in and start shooting photos this week. It would be awesome working here. It wouldn't be like a job at all!
I have been working with the owners of Taco Del Ojo to write a Feature Story for them and do some photography work and marketing work.
I had met Trent on my last visit here and we began talking about life, goals and what I do for a living and how I came to create it.
He thanked me and shook my hand and replied "I am so honored to meet you! You are such an interesting and wonderful person!" Comments like that are always touching and mean a lot to me because when someone can sense the kind of human being I am-it is the greatest kind of gift.
Trent inspired me and somehow I gave him hope and wisdom and I am doing what he has always dreamed of doing-write about extraordinary places and create stories for one-of-a kind destinations, resort hotels, travel journals, architectural photography etc.
There is so much negativity on the tube, that I recently began watching again, that we need more goal setters, trend setters and those who "carry an invisible torch" that they hand to others to light their way to acheive goals.
Some people are gifts.
Mr. Trent Ohishi is just that gift. His parents did a fantastic job with him and I hope to meet them one day and tell them that.
I am going to interview with him coming really soon as soon as he calls me and schedules a time.
We need to hear more from people who are doing things right, making a difference in their communities, and that is what Trent is planning on doing for Christmas. He and a group of other young adults, also sharing his pleasant refreshing positivity are creating care packages to give some of the many homeless in Orange County, CA. Trent told me that there are one in 25 people are homeless in Orange County-and he agreed it is an epidemic that needs to be addressed.
If you live in Orange County, CA and read this-what are your ideas about how we can change that?
I created a petition asking for money from congress for more subsidized housing establishments to help the disabled on ssi and ssdi live with dignity, having their basic needs met.
There is more to come with this one……
There are Fire Starters who kindle flames in others and Trent Ohishi is just that kind of fire starter. He can kindle flames in other young adults who maybe didn't have the great parents he did, and change their lives by changing their minds.
Do you know of another Fire Starter in your community or other young adults who have winning spirits?
Share them here too.

ARMONK, N.Y. -- Brynwood Golf & Country Club will be open on April 1st for the 2013 season. The popular family-oriented club has an active schedule of tournaments, clinics and events planned and is enjoying strong new member interest.
Since Troon Golf took over management of the club three years ago, Brynwood has been very successful redefining the country club experience and attracting area golfers to take advantage of the flexible annual membership categories for families, couples, individuals, executives and corporations. The club also provides a sports membership, which includes access to 9 har-tru tennis courts, the fully equipped Fitness & Health Club, fine dining, a heated pool and a vibrant year-round social calendar.
"We have focused on making Brynwood the type of club that appeals to the entire family," says Josh Lowney, the club's Director of Operations. "Whether it's our golf course with dramatic vistas and challenging holes, our tennis program, the pool or exceptional dining options, we want our members to see and feel the value of being an important part of this club. We offer consistent quality and service and our staff commitment is to providing members with an exceptional experience in a friendly, resort-like environment."
Currently, the approval process is underway for the club's master plan that includes a major renovation of the golf course by renowned architect, Rees Jones, as well as a new clubhouse and luxury residential community designed by the highly regarded architectural firm of Hart Howerton. These anticipated future upgrades of Brynwood's course and facilities have created significant interest in the club for the upcoming season.
New members who take advantage of joining Brynwood by April 30th are not subject to an initiation fee or capital assessments. Memberships are priced from $8,000 and categories include: Family, Couples, Women Executive, Executive, Corporate and Single. Importantly, new members who join in 2013 will receive a credit of $15,000 toward any future initiation.
"Now definitely is the time to join Brynwood," Lowney affirms. "With the approvals process underway for the Rees Jones redesign of the golf course, along with the greater creative vision to transform the club, we all are enthusiastic about Brynwood's very bright future."
Brynwood Golf & Country Club is managed by Troon Golf, the premier global management company of world-class golf courses, golf clubs and resorts. Brynwood is conveniently located in central Westchester County, which makes the club an attractive draw for area residents as well as those who live in Connecticut's lower Fairfield County.

Lawrence Lessig, co-founder of Creative Commons and important figure in the FSF, EFF, etc., had this to say about the suicide of Aaron Swartz, co-author of an early RSS spec and founder of a precursor to Reddit:

Remember, we live in a world where the architects of the financial crisis regularly dine at the White House - and where even those brought to "justice" never even have to admit any wrongdoing, let alone be labeled "felons."

In that world, the question this government needs to answer is why it was so necessary that Aaron Swartz be labeled a "felon" [for plotting to distribute millions of JSTOR articles].

...

Fifty years in jail, charges our government. Somehow, we need to get beyond the ōIÆm right so IÆm right to nuke youö ethics that dominates our time. That begins with one word: Shame.

Full article: Āhttp://lessig.tumblr.com/post/40347463044/prosecutor-as-bullyĀ. ĀAnother good article: Āhttp://www.thenation.com/blog/172187/aaron-swartz

Our society should be selecting for the Aaron SwartzÆs of this world. Instead, generous and ethical behavior, especially when combined with technical brilliance, turns out to be maladaptive, indeed lethal. If Swartz had been Wall StreetÆs youngest investment banker, he would be alive today.
