Dordt College News
New community development major
March 14, 2014
Both rural towns and large metropolitan areas have needs that can best be solved by a broad understanding of community development.
Faculty members in Dordt's new community development major understand that people want to connect with those they are helping. Growing numbers of individual churches and organizations are funding and staffing programs that reach out to people in need in ways that put volunteers directly in touch with the people they are helping. But new ventures have the potential to hurt as well as help.
"These programs need to be carefully thought out so they have a positive impact on both the host community and the visitors, and so that they don't unintentionally create dependency, remove markets, eliminate jobs, damage the social structure of either community, or undermine the natural resources upon which they depend," says Dr. Robb De Haan, one of the faculty members in the interdisciplinary program.
Dordt's new community development major addresses all of these issues. The program is based on the conviction that sustainable, healthy communities develop by caring for and about everything that God created.
"Community development is for people who like complex challenges," says Dr. Jeff Ploegstra. "Communities are deep, multifaceted, dynamic systems, embedded in unique physical, economic, political, and social environments."
"The community development major responds to life as it really is, rather than to a fragmented version of life. It recognizes that the more a community's leaders understand business, job creation, infrastructure and building design, the natural environment, and politics, as well as human beliefs, communication patterns, needs, and relationships, the healthier a community will be," says Business Professor Dr. John Visser.
The interdisciplinary faculty team that will teach in the new major reflects that breadth. They come from agriculture, biology, business, environmental studies, social work, and campus ministries departments, and they agree that alleviating hunger and providing housing are urgent needs that need to be met. They also agree that addressing these needs happens best by creating an environment in which people can grow and thrive.
"What makes our community development major different from most is the broad interdisciplinary perspective that focuses on systems, an ecological approach, if you will," says Ploegstra, who teaches biology. "Our world needs people who can integrate insight from multiple disciplines as they approach complex challenges."
"This program will help students prepare to engage with communities to bring about positive change," says Social Work Professor Abby Foreman. "We see real and useful connections between this program and social work, theology, and other majors. Many students are motivated by their faith to make the world a better place; the community development major will help prepare them for this work."
Ploegstra compares the issues to something he faced while teaching "at-risk" high school students for five years.
"As I became involved in the lives of students, saw the multi-layered dysfunction of their lives, and experienced their incredible resilience, I was frequently overwhelmed. Anyone who works in such a context recognizes the futility of trying to fix things alone. Only by tying into support networks, seeking to understand the social, economic, and physical factors involved, and helping to build the capacity of individuals to improve their situation, do you make effective progress," he says, adding, "I know there are many students who want to effect change. I want to help prepare those students in ways that I was not prepared."
"It can take a while to see the impact efforts made with very good intentions can have on others," De Haan says, adding that it is also easy to be unaware, at first, of the consequences of cultural and power differences. In general, he believes it is best to support and work with groups that have learned from experience how to most effectively enable people to build their own communities.
Students in Dordt's new major will learn from such people and organizations. They'll study and participate in programs that are successfully providing opportunities for people to be independent, helping them create jobs, find new markets, and strengthen their social interactions.
Few colleges offer this kind of multi-disciplinary community development major, say De Haan and Ploegstra. Many programs require a smattering of courses in a variety of departments without tying them together. Dordt's program of foundational courses complemented by required areas of specialization will allow students to graduate with contextual knowledge and with skills they can put to work immediately after graduating.
Preparing students to serve others is not what is unique about the community development major—every major at Dordt is aimed at preparing students for kingdom service. "This major will equip people to be agents of reconciliation in a broken world," says Dr. Ron Vos who helped set up the agricultural missions emphasis in Dordt's agriculture program. "I'm extremely excited about the program based on experiences I've had in development in the United States and around the world."
The new community development major can serve more than traditional students. Community members involved in volunteer efforts are invited to enroll in courses, sharing their experiences while learning from what others have learned. Some courses for the new major will be available next fall, with the full program expected to be in place in the fall of 2015.

The Paxton Roundup
CONSULTANT WANTED: The Paxton Housing Partnership has issued a request for proposals for a professional consultant to help the town find funding sources for the development of 20 units of senior rental apartments on 10 acres on Holden Road. The consultant will also help the partnership apply for funding and create and evaluate any responses to subsequent RFPs for project developers. Responses are due by November 30. At that time, PHP will evaluate the proposals based solely on the qualifications. Paxton's procurement officer, Town Administrator Charlie Blanchard, will then evaluate the price of the proposals and make the final decision. PHP members plan several meetings after the deadline in order to review the proposals.
GRANTED: A grant of just over $10,000 from the state Executive Office of Environmental Affairs will help Paxton develop a stormwater bylaw and an open space residential design bylaw. The Smart Growth Technical Assistance Grant will be supplemented by about $1,500 in town personnel support and $3,400 from the Massachusetts Watershed Coalition of Leominster, which will provide consultant services. The first step in developing the bylaws will be to appoint two bylaw subcommittees, which the town expects to have on the town meeting warrant for May 2006.
The stormwater bylaw will establish best management practices "to control stormwater runoff and nonpoint source pollution associated with land development and redevelopment," according to the grant application. The open space bylaw is planned to "help preserve the town's character and important community resources (e.g., open space, farm land, water resources, wildlife habitats, etc.)." Public meetings and community outreach are also planned to help keep residents informed about the progress of the bylaws.
FINCOM MATTERS: The finance committee welcomed a second new member in two months: retired town clerk June Herron joined the committee. Dick Sears joined the fincom in October. Herron and Sears replace Robert Jacobson and Gene O'Rourke. Jacobson resigned and O'Rourke moved out of the district this fall.
Committee members met to plan for budget season and discuss budget procedures, a matter that raised concerns for longtime fincom member Chris de Marcken, who objects strongly to the procedures outlined by Town Administrator Charlie Blanchard to route town budgets through his office. A motion by de Marcken to communicate that objection to Blanchard, based on the statutory role of the finance committee in preparing the town budget, was not seconded and was withdrawn. Fincom Chair Rich Fenton said he believed Blanchard would forward the budgets to the committee in a timely fashion, addressing past concerns about stalling budgets with the select board. Members said many of last year's department budgets did not reach the fincom until March. The finance committee is sending a letter to departments next week asking for continued austerity in budget planning. The department budgets are due in December.

Moose Jaw is behind on the recycling front. Many other cities have a curbside recycling program.
© Times-Herald photo by Lisa Goudy
Laura Hubick empties her recyclables into one of the recycling bins at the southwest corner of Sobey's parking lot. The bins were formerly located at the Civic Centre site.
Some of those cities are larger than Moose Jaw, such as Regina, but some are smaller.
For example, Davidson, which has a population of about 1,000 people, introduced a curbside recycling program several years ago. Willow Bunch began their residential single stream curbside recycling this January. The town's population, as of the 2011 census, is 286.
Yorkton is another community with curbside recycling, which has a fee of $5 per month per residential household for the curbside recycling program, according to the city's website. Yorkton, which has a population of a projected 19,000 or so based on the city website's data, has had the program in place for several years now.
And yet, Moose Jaw doesn't have curbside recycling. There are options to recycle in the city. Certain recyclables can be dropped off at the SARCAN downtown depot or taken to Pla-Mor Palace on South Hill or the bins currently located in the Sobey's parking lot off Thatcher Drive.
Curbside recycling discussions have taken place at the city level for years. Yet, nothing is done. At Monday's executive committee meeting, councillors had a lengthy discussion about recycling following several presentations about concerns about the eight recycling bins at the Sobey's parking lot.
The Government of Saskatchewan has announced the Multi Material Stewardship Western (MMSW) program that will be effective in January 2015.
Some councillors suggested waiting to hear about that program before implementing a city program.
Others suggested the city shouldn't be in the business of recycling when private businesses can do it for a small charge per month. Currently, Loraas Disposal provides curbside recycling at a cost of $9 per month.
Others suggested looking into separating materials at the landfill to place the recycling bins there and others proposed eliminating the recycling bins altogether.
Either way, as of discussions on Monday, no decisions were made. There is to be a planning session on June 6 with recycling on the agenda. Hopefully at this time, the city can decide on a recycling strategy.
But this city should have a curbside recycling program. There are people who won't be willing to pay, or simply can't afford to pay, for private recycling.
That doesn't mean they don't want to recycle. Having a city curbside recycling program encourages everyone to recycle in a convenient way. It makes it easy for everyone.
We are already several steps behind other communities. When communities with a size of hundreds have a curbside recycling program and we don't, that's saying something and it's not saying what it should. The sooner Moose Jaw gets a curbside recycling program, the better.

In 1985, after I retired from my second career of teaching history to young high school citizens who would much rather "fuhgeddaboudit," I was commissioned by the Historical Branch, U. S. Marine Corps to write a historical monograph on the U. S. Marine prisoner of war experience during World War II. This publication would join the series of monographs being published by the Historical Branch, slick little "easy-to-read" pamphlets containing about a hundred pages of summarized highlights of the major battles and other events of World War II involving the U.S. Marine Corps. I was honored to be chosen for the task.
I rode my trusty motor home from El Cajon, California to Washington, DC and found a temporary home for it in nearby Maryland while I searched national, Naval, and Marine Corps historical archives for relevant material. After about two months of exposure to the National archives as well as the dreadful traffic jams of our nation's capitol, I trundled back to California and began trying to put it all together.
It soon appeared to me that telling the entire Marine POW story in proper context required some discussion and analysis of the exotic militarist culture of their captors, otherwise the reader would have no explanation for many strange events and bizarre interplays between captive and captor. I was also convinced that the story would be woefully incomplete without a discussion of how the egregious blunders committed by General Douglas MacArthur in the defense of the Philippines led directly to premature Allied defeat and subsequent imprisonment of by far the greatest number of American prisoners of war captured by the Japanese during World War II.
There were other fascinating stories to be told, not the least of them a review of the manifold activities of Lieutenant Colonel Masanobu Tsuji, the evil genius behind the Bataan Death March, also active in so many other roving exploits 'way above his pay grade', as Marine Corps lingo would have it, that it is likely that no other individual had more effect on the prolongation of the Pacific War than did Colonel Tsuji. Most serious historians of World War II in the Pacific recount some of the adventures of this extraordinary warrior, whose trail of casualties scattered throughout East Asia and the South Pacific might also earn him the title of the most homicidal Bushido-besotted fanatic in the history of World War II.
Recounted elsewhere in this narrative is the fact that the War Crimes Tribunal, completely in the dark concerning the mysterious influence of Bushido-inspired junior officers over lesser-inspired seniors in the irrational (to Western minds) Bushido tradition of gekokuju, dismissed the activities of a mere lieutenant colonel as presumably insignificant and went after the generals and admirals instead. If they had known the true extent of Tsuji's war-time activities, he would have been number one on their list of "whom shall we hang today?"
As evidence that the deeds of Lieutenant Colonel Tsuji are more than a minor footnote in an ancient history book, a 2005 Google search turns up 63 current entries under his name. Whether extraordinary hero or extraordinary villain, (in wars the terms are often synonymous) apparently he will not soon be forgotten.
Neither could I ignore the exploits of legendary fighter pilot Saburo Sakai, veteran of more than 200 aerial combat missions, including 64 Allied planes shot down. His epic struggle to return his crippled fighter plane from Guadalcanal to Rabaul with paralyzing wounds in his left leg and arm, heavy fragments of two 50-caliber machine gun bullets imbedded in his skull, and permanently blinded in his right eye, is just one of the heroic acts that rank him as one of the greatest fighter pilots of all time. After recovering from his wounds, this one-eyed pilot returned to the air and shot down four more enemy planes. Did I say legendary?
Then there was Air Corps navigator Edgar Whitcomb, who talked his way out of a Japanese prison camp in the Philippines to internment in the International Settlement in Shanghai to repatriation as a "non-combatant" to the United States and eventually to the governorship of Indiana in 1968, a truly remarkable tale about a truly remarkable man, a conservative Republican far different from the manic zealots who claim the term in 2005.
Tsuji, Sakai, Whitcomb, and MacArthur were detours from my original monograph mission, but such compelling detours that they led to more reading, and in due course I acquired a library of books about Japan, the American POW experience and the Pacific War, numbering close to one hundred in all.
It was a surplus of material; much more than was needed for a simple monograph, and there seemed to be no way to keep it simple. I wrote and revised, and revised some more, until I had a couple of hundred pages of neatly typed, double spaced, carefully footnoted stuff on the Pacific War that far exceeded my original mandate to tell only the story of Marine prisoners of war.
My monograph had somehow escalated into a major historical research project that went well beyond the bounds of what my mentor, Benis Frank, at the Marine Corps Historical Branch, had in mind, as I discovered when I submitted the first draft of my unfinished "masterpiece." Mr. Frank's response was a deafening silence. After waiting several weeks for some acknowledgment of my labors, I finally surmised that his non-response signaled the end of our relationship, and so it did. To this date, as far as I know, there is no official monograph on the Marine POW experience in World War II. Mea culpa.
Having had my efforts rebuffed by the Marine Corps, I intended to finish the project and submit it for publication elsewhere, but for various reasons, not the least of them being a propensity to postpone important stuff until after I drink these last two beers, or dally with my lovely, or because this is much too hard to do and I am fundamentally a lazy lout, this project has remained partly finished in the bowels of my personal archives for lo, these many years. Fortunately, perhaps, this "masterpiece" will never see the light of day, but I have excerpted nuggets there from to fit between the bookends of this narrative of my life and times, even though only a small part of it pertains directly to my own experiences.
In the process of digesting all the material I unearthed on the topic, I became convinced that the conventional wisdom on many aspects of the war in the Pacific and its immediate aftermath was mostly "feel good" American myth, especially the sanitized story of the A-bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In confirmation, as I write this in mid 2005, newspaper stories belatedly tell of General Douglas MacArthur secretly confiscating the film that had been made by American cameramen of the horrendous devastation caused by our atomic bombs.
Paul Fussell, who was scheduled to be in the force that would attack Japan in 1945, later wrote a bestselling book entitled Thank God for the Atomic Bomb. His theory, of course, was that without the A bombs, an invasion of Japan by Allied forces was a foregone conclusion. Most of my fellow POWs would agree, based on research which suggests that the Japanese had plans to execute all prisoners if Japan was attacked by ground forces.
I disagree. By mid-summer, 1945 even the diehards in the Japanese government agreed that the war was lost. There is conclusive evidence that Japanese leaders were desperately looking for a way to surrender with honor and still keep their emperor, a concession that Allied proposals inexplicably had failed to mention until much, much too late in the day, and the A Bomb offered them an opportunity to surrender and still save a modicum of that precious Oriental commodity, face. A careful reading of the annals of the intense internal negotiations leading up to the Japanese decision to surrender leaves the unmistakable impression that most Japanese government officials were immensely relieved to have the A Bombs as an excuse for surrender. Even a government run by desperados willing to defend their homeland to the last man cannot resist a weapon that levels entire cities in one devastating strike.
Nor can such a government persist when its citizens are dying of starvation. A Japanese study of the last days of World War II reports a cabinet meeting in April 1945 which concluded that the rice crop was so bad that even though the ration kept being reduced, by the end of August there would be no rice at all. (Pacific War Research Society, Japan's Longest Day, p. 65)
The sordid fact remains that the incineration of entire cities with nuclear weapons is a war crime of the highest order. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were never military targets, in spite of retroactive attempts by U. S. government apologists to make them so. Air Corps General Curtis LeMay commanded the B29 squadrons which dropped the atomic bombs and earlier had firebombed other major cities of Japan into heaps of rubble, killing more non-combatant Japanese civilians than did the atomic bombs. LeMay once remarked that if Japan had won the war, he would have been hanged as a war criminal. Since the President was his Commander in Chief who ordered the bombs dropped, the same must be said of Harry Truman.
In his dissenting and largely ignored opinion at the Tokyo Tribunal which tried alleged Japanese "war criminals" after the war, Justice Radhabinad Pal of India declared that "if any indiscriminate destruction of life and property is still illegitimate in warfare, then, in the Pacific war, the decision to use the atom bomb is the only near approach to the directives of the German Emperor during the first World War and of the Nazi leaders during the second World War. Nothing like this could be traced to the credit of the present accused." (John Toland, The Rising Sun: The Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire, p. 798)
As time passes and formerly classified archives become available to scholars, an increasing number of objective historians has become convinced that even without atomic bombs, the Japanese would have been forced to surrender before November 1945. See The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb by Gar Alperovitz for some of the most scholarly and compelling arguments that the A bombs were unnecessary. Studs Terkel also had good reason to doubt the official script of World War II as written by the victors and produced an unofficial but much more realistic version in his inimitable style of interviewing both the "doers" and the "done-to" in "The Good War." Notice the quotation marks. I recommend it highly.
A recent survey of American high school graduates discovered that half of them had never heard of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and had no idea that Japan and the United States were enemies in World War II. Having been a high school history teacher in a previous incarnation, I attribute this phenomenon largely to the fact that in most American high schools the football coach is given the distasteful additional task of teaching American history, an assignment for which in far too many cases he is neither interested nor qualified.
The story begins here. Most of the Marine story of imprisonment that did not satisfy Mr. Frank is contained in Part II.

Accompanied by American federal agents, overseeing his deportation from the United States, 89-year-old John Demjanjuk arrived in Munich today to face 29,000 counts of murder as a guard in the Sobibor death camp during the Second World War.
Demjanjuk, a retired car worker, had repeatedly tried to block his deportation from Cleveland, Ohio, but just four days after the US Supreme Court refused to consider his latest request, he was in a wheelchair, being loaded onto the German-bound jet.
He is wanted on a Munich arrest warrant, but has denied the accusations, saying he was held by the Germans as a Soviet prisoner of war and was never a camp guard. Demjanjuk's family fought deportation, arguing he is in poor health and might not survive the trans-Atlantic journey.
Rabbi Marvin Hier, a founder of the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Centre, said Demjanjuk deserved to be punished in what would probably be the last trial of someone accused of Nazi war crimes.
"His work at the Sobibor death camp was to push men, women and children into the gas chamber," Hier said in a statement. "He had no mercy, no pity and no remorse for the families whose lives he was destroying."
The case dates back to 1977 when the US Justice Department moved to revoke Demjanjuk's American. citizenship, alleging he hid his past as a Nazi death camp guard.
Demjanjuk had been tried in Israel after accusations surfaced that he was the notorious Ivan the Terrible at the Treblinka death camp in Poland . He was found guilty in 1988 of war crimes and crimes against humanity, a conviction overturned by the Israeli Supreme Court.
A US judge revoked his citizenship in 2002 based on Justice Department evidence showing that he concealed his service at Sobibor and other Nazi-run death and forced-labour camps.

Honesty is your greatest virtue.
Honesty is the human quality of communicating and acting truthfully. This includes listening, and any action in the human repertoire — as well as speaking. And you? You cannot tell a lie. Both loved ones and strangers should trust you, because you won't (1) lie, (2) lie via omission, or (3) sit there and let lies be told. (Can you even let a sleeping dog lie?) All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your honesty runs deepest.
Your biggest risk is hurting the feelings of your most sensitive friends. However, most appreciate you for your candor.

Shame on Larry Craig? Or on the Cops?
If, as an open-minded liberal, you are somewhat uncomfortable with the idea that an individual, gay or otherwise, can be arrested for repeatedly tapping his foot in a public bathroom, I would suggest the Slate article up today that contains an email dialogue between the magazine's editors.
Among other excellent points raised, there is this question: since when is propositioning someone illegal, even if done in a public place? Doesn't there need to be more "conduct" involved for a lewd conduct charge?
Update: As you may have seen on today's internets, Larry Craig held a press conference saying that he pleaded guilty — even though he is not really guilty — in order to make the situation go away. (That plan does not seem to have worked out for the senator.) Craig also said, "I am not gay."
No, senator, you are not gay. You just like sex with men. And that's fine. We just wish you would own up to it so young, gay Idahoans don't think being homosexual is the worst thing in the world.
Update Update: Republican heavy Ralph Scott Reed is pissed. From the New York Times:
"The real question for Republicans in Washington is how low can you go, because we are approaching a level of ridiculousness," said Mr. Reed, sounding exasperated in an interview on Tuesday morning. "You can't make this stuff up. And the impact this is having on the grass-roots around the country is devastating. Republicans think the governing class in Washington are a bunch of buffoons who have total disregard for the principles of the party, the law of the land and the future of the country."

We estimate the incidence and describe patterns of work-related injuries during 1998 to youth in retail trades and services industries. Data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System and the Current Population Survey were analyzed. The highest number of work-related injuries to youth younger than 18 years occurred in eating and drinking establishments and food stores. Injuries occurring in these industries accounted for 44% of all young worker injuries. Injury rates were similar during summer and school months. Youth continue to experience high numbers and rates of injuries in retail trades and services. Improvements in safety training and injury prevention in these industries, particularly eating and drinking establishments, food stores, and health services, need to be addressed for youth.

Lily Darlington's been called crazy in her day—and, yeah, driving her car into her ex-husband's living room probably wasn't the smartest move ever made—but the louse deserved it.

A package that police officer Tucker Matthews is dying to unwrap. This ex-military man sure doesn't need another woman in his life. His last girlfriend left him with nothing but memories and a cat named Pinky! But living next door to Lily has been driving him nuts. He dreams about her long blonde hair and even longer legs. And maybe it's time to go a little crazy . . . and fall in love.

Sound: Social Distortion has been evolving since day one, each album getting further away from their punk rock roots and moving more and more into rockabilly territory. There isn't much punk sound to be found on this album (if any). Instead there is quite a bit of a country and blues that they channel into their songs. The way way I would describe this album is incredibly roots-y. It may not be the Social D my dad grew up with, but it's a natural progression in the direction they've been going, and I personally really like it. The opening song, "Road Zombie" is very appropriately titled. It feels like I should be listening to it while driving down a long desert road for mile after mile. // 10
Lyrics: The lyrics deal with loneliness, lost love, 1930's gangsters, how the band is still alive and kicking and how much the city of Bakersfield sucks (for those of you who haven't been there, the answer is a lot). The song "Can't Take It With You" is kind of existential in that it covers the topic of how money and hard work doesn't matter, cause when you're dead you're just dead: 'All your money, your hard earned pay/It don't mean shit, babe at the end of the day.' Overall, the lyrics are basically the standard fare you'd expect from Social Distortion, which I wouldn't say is a bad thing. // 8
Overall Impression: This album is without a doubt not their most powerful. It doesn't get in your face like Mommy's Little Monster, or get the blood pumping quite like White Light, White Heat, White Trash, but it should definitely not be missed. I would say the best three songs on this album are the instrumental ("Road Zombie"), "Still Alive," and "Can't Take It With You" simply because they've got the most energy. This album really put me in a good mood. Whether it's because Social D finally put out some new material or because it's really good (which I think it is), I don't know. My only complaint is the pace of about half the songs. They're a little slow, and that's something I'd have differently. I'd definitely buy the album again if I lost it and hadn't saved it to the computer. And you should buy it too, it's more than worth the ten bucks. // 9
Sound: It's their first LP since 2004. It's their first album issued by Epitaph. Though it would be only fitting, it's not the first release by Social Distortion to dig up punk rock roots and spray it all over 40 minutes of material. Having been created in 2006, Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes is almost a legend in itself. The record tore through four different drummers (including Atom Willard) and forced singer/guitarist Mike Ness to toy with different sounds and influences. The voice behind Social Distortion did promise it wouldn't take eight years to be released, but low and behold, the seventh studio album sports a seven-year waistline and if you tear through the restless creativity behind it, it's obvious it was worth it. A short burst of classic alt rock, "Road Zombie" infects as a opener, starting simple, cascading into a vicious melody that would spark chaos in the mind of some and push that "go mosh" button. Fueled by early New York 70s' punk, the disc is capable of being a complete riot but it isn't; Ness and co. are a bit older, wiser and eager to don a blues voice ("California (Hustle And Flow)", "Diamond In The Rough"). The pace isn't frantic, but it's grizzled. The melodies aren't pipe bombs, but they have a razor sharp sweet touch. Look past the aging scars and there's enough evidence of pure chemistry ("Machine Gun Blues") and a taste for experimenting with a rugged rockabilly sound ("Can't Take It With You"). // 8
Lyrics: Punk voices are intelligent, sophisticated individuals with the ability to be bold, inspiring and raw without erupting. A rejuvenated spirit, Mike Ness is an example and the lines he preaches on Hard Times stop time, but only for a few seconds. The concept behind the album will strike a chord with listeners, the heartache may do the complete opposite. Not to say a track like "Bakersfield" isn't satisfying to the ear; the since expression tied with each member's input of honesty works. The abundance of youthful angst pushed through a not-so-delicate tone doesn't after a few listens. "She promised to honor, to love and obey," claims Ness on "Alone And Forsaken". "Each vow was a plaything that she threw away". The sappy texture of the frontman's composition is expected from scene acts trying to imposter alternative rock's best, not the latter themselves. Where they slip, Social Distortion regain their balance going the basic route: no vocal experimentation, no obscene battle cries, just ferocity in a classic sense. // 7
Overall Impression: Age can deteriorate many traits and after battling to give a record a voice and two legs, Social Distortion haven't shown any signs of vulnerability. The latest lineup takes their classic sound, douses it in the same image they've been using for years and bruises with blues punk rhythms that are simple and enticing at times. Even without looking at its make-up, Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes satisfies your expectations. It doesn't offer less, sometimes gives you more and exemplifies a strong tie that's represented a name for over thirty years. If the new label isn't a sign, Social Distortion have made their bed, they're just not ready to sleep it in yet. // 7

Church - Black Wedding
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A predominantly white Mississippi church has apologized for refusing to let a black couple marry in its sanctuary, though the couple said Monday they knew nothing of the apology until a reporter called.
The First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs posted the apology on its website Sunday, saying it was seeking "forgiveness and reconciliation" with Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson, with their families and friends and with God.
However, Charles Wilson said the church had not contacted him or his wife. He said only one or two people from the church have contacted him in recent weeks, and they did so personally and not as representatives of the church.
The Wilsons had planned a marriage ceremony at the church July 21, but some members objected to Pastor Stan Weatherford after the couple's rehearsal. The couple's wedding was held in a predominantly black church, where Weatherford officiated.

IBM Tries Online Discounts to Move Server, Storage Gear
Published: May 31, 2007
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
There is always a tension between direct sales and indirect sales among IT vendors, and it is a difficult tightrope to walk. Not every acquisition by an IT manager should involve a lot of human interaction, particularly now that the Web is a decade old and people are well accustomed to buying stuff online. IBM had not often given customers big discounts on servers and other gear when bought through its online store or through its telesales operations--the two are actually linked as one these days--but under a deal announced this week, Big Blue is giving it a try.
The ibm.com store is now offering customers who go to the Web and buy various new and used servers and related storage products a 10 percent discount over and above the Web price of the gear, which is often discounted from official list prices for the hardware. The Buy More, Get More Value discount deal, announced on Tuesday, offers discounts on all of the current System p Power5, Power5+, and Power6 servers (which run AIX and often Linux and rarely i5/OS) from the p5 505 entry rack server all the way up to a p5 595 enterprise-class server; customers can also get discounts on IntelliStation 185 and 285 workstations, which also run AIX and Linux. All current System i servers, which are also based on the Power5+ processors, are covered by the discount, too, from entry to enterprise-class boxes; these machines are predominantly i5/OS, but can also run AIX and Linux inside logical partitions. While the discount is available to big Power-based servers, IBM does not actually expect customers acquiring such big iron--which costs millions of dollars--to buy this gear online.
Ditto for the System z9 BC and EC servers that are covered under this deal, which range from a fraction of a single mainframe processor core all the way up to a 54-core behemoth. But, if you want to acquire a new System z9 mainframe online, you'll get 10 percent off. Mainframe customers can probably do better than this by negotiating with a reseller or with an IBM sales rep in their office.
The current line of System x servers and BladeCenter blade servers get the online sale discount, too, and this is where IBM will probably get the most traction. It is very hard to get more than 10 percent off on small volumes of any X64 server, whether the machine is in a tower, rack, or blade form factor. All the current System x servers can get the online discount, and the blades using Xeon and Opteron processors--that's the HS2X and LS2X models--also get the discount. But the JS20 and JS21 Power blades and the QS20 Cell blades do not have the discount.
IBM's tape drives, tape libraries, and entry and midrange disk arrays are also covered by this deal, as are a number of storage area networking switches.
Perhaps most significantly for bargain hunters, the warehouse of second-hand servers and storage products that IBM Global Financing peddles is also eligible for the discount.
Under a separate offering also announced this week, IBM is offering big discounts for System x server customers who buy 73 GB, 146 GB, and 300 GB disk drives online--in either 10K RPM or 15K RPM speeds--if they buy before June 29. The discounts range from 25 percent on 36 GB disks up to 40 percent on 300 GB units.

Noise pollution in the ocean damages cephalopods' auditory structures
Pollution is not limited to toxic chemicals in the air and water—light pollution in urban environments, for example, has been shown to affect the mating rituals of some birds. Research has also shown that noise pollution in the oceans alters the behavior and communication of marine life such as dolphins and whales that depend on sound for daily activities. And a recent study published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment...

Last week, 800 people from 20 different countries attended the North American Research Conference on Complementary & Integrative Medicine in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In addition to attendees from North America, the conference drew participation from the UK, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, and Australia, among others. Sponsored by the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine [3], the conference was unique in the diversity of attendees. Included in the mix were MDs, nurses, Naturopathic physicians, massage therapists, chiropractors, TCM providers, psychologists, public health professionals, dentists, and practitioner from many other healing traditions.
There were more than 250 posters and oral presentations, as well as stunning keynote addresses that clearly demonstrated the advancements attained in the science underlying integrative approaches to healing. The breadth of research was extensive and included clinical studies, basic science, education research and discourses on methodology. The abstracts are already on-line in an outstanding website [4]that is searchable by topic or author. Whether you are a clinician, educator, or user of integrative healing, I encourage you to check out this website to see the latest research.
A few observations from my perspective:
The next international research conference will be held in Tromso, Norway on May 19-21, 2010 and is hosted by the International Society for Complementary Medicine Research [5].

The quest for the silk shirt: part two
In the last column, I spoke of how sewing any type of clothing is an investment of time and money and requires skill. I also ranted about how hard silk is to work with. But for this week, I will focus on the pattern used for creating the shirt, and preparing the none-too-cheap cloth to be carved up like a holiday turkey.
I own dozens of patterns, and had to pick which of those I wanted to use for the charmeuse material, a type of silk, I wanted to make into a shirt. The pieces needed are a front, a back, and two sleeves. Everything else is a matter of how these four pieces are going to interact with the wearer's body and with each other. The most complicated of designs can turn these four basic pieces into ten or more sections, but the general construction style is always the same.
The pattern I chose was from the Butterick company, identified as B4684. It is designed to have long sleeves, slits up the sides at the hips and a keyhole neckline, none of which I wanted in my shirt.
Patterns come in paper envelopes, which contain six or more different designs for the same basic piece. These design elements vary slightly, giving the same basic shirt several different appearances. The skilled seamstress can look at different styles, usually lettered or numbered depending on the company, and say "I want neckline A with waistline B, and I want the sleeves to look like C, but only be as long as D."
Because I didn't want certain elements, all I had to do was locate them in the pattern and use a pencil to mark through them to remind myself not to make those particular elements later. I shortened the sleeves by folding the excess pattern paper under. I took out the keyhole slit in the neckline by ignoring it.
Pattern envelopes suggest the best fabrics for the pattern in a short paragraph. This pattern's instructions did not say not to use silk, but it was not on the suggested list of fabrics, either.
The novice seamstress is often anxious to get started with what they can afford. They go for the cheapest cloth, and take it home to start cutting and sewing without preparing it in any way. But every piece of cloth should be washed before working with it. As a weaver, I can attest that the cloth is under a great amount of tension while it is on the loom. When the fabric comes off of the loom, that tension remains. I will share more about weaving in a future article, but trust me about this tension issue for now. Those who make the mistake of sewing with cloth that is still stretched out from the loom discover that it relaxes and puckers during the first wash, ruining the piece.
The biggest problem a seamstress can have is not having enough fabric. The second biggest problem is having far more fabric than she should.
When a pattern asks for fabric that is 45 inches wide, the pattern's directions will explain how to best arrange the pieces on the fabric so that as little waste is created as possible. I, however, found myself facing 60-inch-wide fabric, and had to disregard the suggested layout description.
Charmeuse is a slippery material, and I would almost swear this particular swath of it was possessed. I folded, it slid. I adjusted it, and it shifted in the other direction. I thought I had it lined up and placed the pattern on top of it, and the charmeuse shifted under the weight of the tissue paper.
I found myself needing to weigh down the material in sections that were not destined for the scissors so that it would stay where I needed it to be. I used a package of 120 watercolor pencils in a metal tin, a plush fox from my collection, and my cat, Mari.
Yes, I put my cat on several yards of silk fabric. My cat loves to lounge on fabric I am working with, and will lay patiently for hours, twitching her tail and watching me work with pins and scissors, never bothering these items. She makes a wonderful anchor for poorly behaved fabrics.
One of the most important steps in sewing anything is the generous use of sewing pins to hold the fabric in place, and to hold the tissue paper pattern pieces to the fabric. When the cloth is slippery like silk is, I end up jabbing my finger frequently. Hand-sewn clothing demands multiple blood sacrifices when the seamstress is as clumsy as I am with sewing pins.
I am not a small woman. Although the pattern was made for larger sizes, I had to make it slightly bigger still. I placed the two main pattern pieces, the front and the back, on the fabric and scooted each in approximately one inch to give me the extra room I needed.
The pattern instructions said to place the edge of the pattern on the fold of the cloth, which would produce a doubled-over version of the pattern piece. I needed extra room, so I made it by extending the width of the cut from the center itself. I slid the pattern in by one inch from the folded center point, making the shirt's front and back each two inches wider.
Catch my column next time as I take a pair of ten-inch scissors to the ill-behaved material and carve up $12.99-a-yard's worth of silk into four pieces of a shirt.

I'd try the Discover It with 0% financing deal. I have much lower scores (see below) and my income isn't quite as high as yours, and they gave me $9500.
Sounds like you guys shouldn't have a problem getting approved for anything here are a couple suggestions.
Chase Slate
Any Citi card, most have 0% offers
Discover More and IT both have 0% offers
Now here's an idea, Apply for the Chase Slate for the 0%. You will be able to move as much credit as you want over to it from your Sapphire card incase you don't get approved for a high enough limit. Use the 0% for how long you need it and once you're done with the card move the credit line back over including the additional credit line you were approved for. BOOM you got a huge 0% loan and a CLI on your CSP.

My wife and I want to get our first joint CC together to use towards furnishing and updating our new home. Ideally the card will have a CL of over $15k... Any suggestions as where to apply?
Our FICO's -- 780 and 766
Joint income -- $160k
Current revolving debt utilization - 3%
My highest limit card -- $27k Chase Sapphire Preferred
Hers -- $13k Discover More
Also joint credit is a BAD idea in most cases, ovbiously you know how to manage your credit so I won't lecture you on that. Just do a little research if you haven't already and make sure that's really what you want to do. If you have done your research then excuse my post, I didn't mean to insult anyones intelligence.
I just recently did the USAA Rewards AMEX, BT @ 0% for 18mo with 3% (max $200) transfer fee ; and the NFCU Signature cashRewards VISA, BT @ 0% for 12mo with 0% transfer fee.
All my debt is now on 0% cards Feels so great to be able to pay principal down.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday narrowly approved an unconditional debt limit extension until March 2015.
The Republican-dominated lower house of Congress gave the green light to the measure by a vote of 221-201.
However, most of the yes-votes came from Democrats, with only 28 Republican lawmakers backing the proposal to extend the Treasury's borrowing authority, which apparently puts off another debt fight until after the November mid-term elections.
Conservative groups criticized the move but it had become clear that most Republican legislators had no desire to go head to head once again with President Barack Obama over raising the debt ceiling, a move that is required if the government is to be able to borrow money to pay its obligations.
The measure now must go to the Senate, which is controlled by the Democrats, where it will have to find support from at least 60 of the 100 lawmakers.
Tuesday's measure comes after a temporary debt ceiling agreement was reached amid the budget crisis last October but expired on Feb. 7 and which the Treasury had already taken extraordinary action to remedy, although those moves would have lasted only until the end of February.
Analysts and lawmakers had anticipated a severe negative impact on the securities markets if the debt limit were not raised.
The federal debt limit currently stands at $16.7 trillion, although after the October agreement the U.S. debt had risen to $17.25 trillion. EFE

O'Malley Pushes Ambitious Agenda in Maryland State of the State
1/30/2013, 4:59 p.m.
"Climate disruption is real," O'Malley said. "It is physics, pure and simple."
O'Malley also called Maryland's traffic the worst in the country and vowed to help bring the state's transportation network into the 21st century.
He applauded Maryland's students, educators and school support staff, calling attention to the state's fifth consecutive annual ranking by Education Week as the top public school system in the country.
"This jobs budget invests to improve public education and to build new schools," O'Malley said. "It accelerates the transition from chalk and textbooks in our classrooms, to iPads, laptops, smart-boards, and 21st century digital learning tools."
As O'Malley, 50, enters the back half of his second term as governor, major speeches like the State of the State address take on added significance. O'Malley, who chairs the Democratic Governors Association and was prominently featured at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, is widely believed to have national political aspirations.
His name has been mentioned along with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as possible 2016 candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination.
"Today wasn't just a State of the State speech, it was an 'I want your (presidential) nomination' speech," Eberly said.

A man walked away without a scratch Friday night after rescuers pulled him out from under a mobile home that fell on him.
The man, who works for mobile-home mover Glad Enterprises, was setting up the home about 8:45 p.m. at Amarillo Mobile Home Estates, 6666 Pavillard Drive, when it fell on him, witnesses said.
"They had it up on blocks and were pulling off the axles when it fell on him," said Tim Dennis, the son of the man who was trapped. "I figure the frame buckled upward into a U, and that made it slip off the jacks."
Dennis said he rushed to the scene as soon as he heard about the accident to try and help get the house off his father.
The home shifted about two feet forward and to the side when it slipped off the jacks. Although the man was trapped under the home, it wasn't on top of him, and he was in no apparent pain. Witnesses said the man was trapped between a pair of spars that stick out perpendicular to one of the two I-beams that run the length of the home.
Dispatchers sent three fire trucks, an ambulance and a paramedic supervisor to the scene when they received the 911 call. Fearing a collapse of the frame of the home, firefighters carefully used a pair of airbags to raise it enough to pull the man out. When the man, who refused to comment on the incident, was pulled out, he walked away with no apparent injuries.
Dennis said his father has been moving mobile homes for 27 years and has enough experience that the incident Friday night must have been just a freak occurrence.
"He's been doing this for years and years, and he knows what he's doing," Dennis said. "I can't imagine something like this happening to him. But it looks like he's going to be OK, and that's what counts."

VIDEO: Highlights and Reaction to Salesianum's winSalesianum's Donte DiVincenzo scored 10 4th quarter points as the Sals pulled away for a 46-28 victory at Saint Elizabeth Friday night.
The Catholic Conference battle was tied 19-19 with under a minute to go in the first half before the Vikings went ice cold from the field, going over 9 minutes without a field goal, including the entire 3rd quarter.
Shane Clark gave the Sals a lead at halftime by hitting a baseline jumper just before the buzzer, which sparked what became an extended 8-0 run as St. Elizabeth's defense helped keep the Vikings in the game.
Brian O'Neill's 13 points helped earn Salesianum a 31-20 advantage after three quarters before DiVincenzo went to work.
The Villanova commit scored four baskets in the final eight minutes, including a 2-handed slam as the Sals finally put the game away.
He finished with 19 points despite going just 4-of-10 at the line.
Clark added 7 points off the bench for Salesianum, who improved to 7-1 on the season.
Mike Piekarski hit 3 three-pointers to lead Saint Elizabeth (1-5) with 9 points.

Hotel Room Fire Empties Mohawk Casino
The Akwesasne Mohawk Casino resort was evacuated for a short time Thursday night when fire broke out in an unoccupied room on the seventh floor of the hotel.
The fire, which caused minor damage to the room, broke out shortly after 10 p.m. and was quickly put out by casino workers with a hand-held fire extinguisher.
Officials say two unidentified employees were treated for smoke inhalation. Fire investigators traced the cause of the blaze to a pinched wire in a floor lamp.
