How should a sports car be in 2008? Is the very notion an outdated self-indulgence – an irresponsible use of dwindling resources in the pursuit of mere pleasure (like a holiday flight, for example)? Or can it be a joy with a practical use – a car to fulfil a transport need while making you feel fantastic?
Look at the credentials of the Lotus Elise you see here, and you'll think it surely provides the answer. An Elise has never been about brute power barely contained within a slinky shell, leaving global-warming corridors wherever it goes. Nor has it been about size, weight, presence and manhood. An Elise is small, ultra-light, efficient, delicate to drive and subtle in its responses, but with a sharp focus that makes nearly every other car feel as though you're driving it in winter mitts and Wellington boots.
As a plaything, an Elise is ideal. But maybe it could be something more. The best fast road cars don't major on power but torque or pulling ability. Were you to use an Elise for the drive to the office as well as at weekends, you might tire of the need to work the standard car's engine hard. To be able to trickle through traffic, then power away with a single flex of the ankle, though, would make you love it all the more.
Recently I drove a Lotus Exige S. This is the mini-Ferrari of the Elise family, a clan which in its 11 years of existence has spawned mutants such as the near-naked 340R, the 2-Eleven trackday semi-racer and the visually challenged Europa coupé. The Exige is broadly a solid-roofed Elise with a harder dynamic edge and, crucially, a supercharger for the 1.8-litre Toyota engine it otherwise shares with the Elise.
It moves with bombastic enthusiasm, its power delivery a rush of energy from tickover to 8,000rpm. It's vibrant, intoxicating, but you can see practically nothing behind you because there's a big intercooler behind your head. This renders the Exige a nerve-racking drive at night.
What we need, then, is an Elise with Exige S power and a proper view aft. And that is exactly what we have here, in what is potentially the most appealing Elise in the breed's history. The engine has a new supercharger installation, built into the inlet manifold. There is no intercooler, which means the Exige-matching 220bhp represents the limit of the engine's potential. Any more and it would blow itself up, whereas with an intercooler to keep the intake air colder, it can be wound up almost to 300bhp. So this Elise has 100bhp more than the 1997 original. It has a little more weight, too – the engine is heavier, there are two airbags and the whole car is more civilised – but it's still a sylph at 870kg. As the ultimate Elise, it calls to mind memories of the Lotus Elan Sprint, the high-power version of the original 1960s/70s Elan which still occupies a top-five placing in the list of cars I'd most like to add to my collection.
It might even have been good to call this new car an Elise Sprint, but Lotus tried that with a tuned-up Elise a decade back; it was bullied out of the idea by Mercedes-Benz, which thought the public might confuse the fast Elise with a Sprinter van. I hope shame is still felt in Stuttgart, for Sprint (like GT) is a generic label, used by Triumph, Alfa Romeo and others. And even as I write this, news arrives that Lotus has released a limited-edition Exige Sprint. Today's company is a bolder one.
As it should be, having reinvigorated its engineering division which carries out contract research and development for most of the major car companies; having revealed the shape of its forthcoming mid-size GT car; and having built far more Elises than were ever planned. I'm sitting in an Elise SC next to the man who is more surprised by this last fact than anyone. Dave Minter developed the original Elise, then left to engineer the cars of Ascari and Caterham. He recently rejoined Lotus to develop Elise derivatives, and the SC is the first designed by Lotus to comply with legislation in every world market.
You identify the SC from the outside by its large single exhaust pipe, a subtly different rear spoi-ler and slightly wider wheels. Inside, like all the latest Elises and Exiges, it has a new instrument cluster with white figures on black, a neater information display and even a service indicator. The dashboard is finished in soft-touch black, and comfortable ProBax seats are standard.
We've removed the roof, rolled it up and put it in the surprisingly voluminous boot. Now, the moment of truth: will this be Elise nirvana, the perfect blend of Lotus attributes all in one car? It moves off with the usual blend of liquid motion and high-definition feedback through steering and seat of pants, and then I press the accelerator hard. The engine, until now ambling at just 2,000rpm or so, delivers a shove in the back I've never felt in an Elise before.
A rich whine from the supercharger overlays the deepening exhaust note and, while not loud, the Elise takes on a strong voice. It's a revelation. I can overtake without the need to wring the engine through the gears, yet, if I do, it becomes even faster. I can trickle down to town speeds and know there's instant response to squirt through a gap. The six-speed gearchange is quick, smooth and precise, but I don't need to use it all the time.
On open, fast bends the Elise feels thrillingly alive but always stable. It flicks through curves as if inertia had been outlawed. But the real test comes in some tight, slippery mountain roads, where the wheels just grip and grip. Then, with each bend's exit, I squeeze the accelerator and feel the tail move out just the right amount. The engine's torque lets me take most of the bends in third gear, where a regular Elise would demand a downshift, so it's an easier drive as well as a faster one.
In the end the Elise SC neither feels nor is as quick as the Exige S, owing to their different torque-against-engine-speed graphs and a softer accelerator response, but it's still as quick as you could reasonably want and it's a lot easier to live with. It promised to be the ultimate Elise, and it is.
The RivalsAudi TT Roadster 3.2 V6 Quattro: £31,635
A contrary approach to a sports car, but the handsome, heavy Audi goes well and has great road-holding with its four-wheel drive. Feels clumsy next to Lotus.
Caterham CSR Cosworth 200: £31,000
Opposite extreme here, with this new-generation, larger Caterham and its Cosworth engine. For those truly committed to a pure driving experience above all else.
Honda S2000 GT: £27,952
A "conventional" sports car with front engine and rear wheel drive. The engine is a madly revving, screaming thing, and the driving experience is far short of Lotus's.

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- Hallucinogenic Drugs
Taking Hallucinogens
Chemist Albert Hofmann, working at the Sandoz Corporation pharmaceutical laboratory in Switzerland, first synthesized LSD in 1938. He was conducting research on possible medical applications of various lysergic acid compounds derived from ergot, a fungus that develops on rye grass. Searching for compounds with therapeutic value, Hofmann created more than two dozen ergot-derived synthetic molecules. The 25th was called, in German, Lyserg-Säure-Diäthylamid 25, or LSD-25. Five years after he first created the drug, Hofmann accidentally ingested a small amount and experienced a series of frightening sensory effects:
"My surroundings . . . transformed themselves in more terrifying ways. Everything in the room spun around, and the familiar objects and pieces of furniture assumed grotesque, threatening forms. They were in continuous motion, animated, as if driven by an inner restlessness . . . . Even worse than these demonic transformations of the outer world were the alterations that I perceived in myself, in my inner being. Every exertion of my will, every attempt to put an end to the disintegration of the outer world and the dissolution of my ego, seemed to be wasted effort. A demon had invaded me, had taken possession of my body, mind, and soul."
Hallucinogenic Drugs
Hallucinogenic drugs have played a role in human life for thousands of years. Cultures from the tropics to the arctic have used plants to induce states of detachment from reality and to precipitate "visions" thought to provide mystical insight. These plants contain chemical compounds, such as mescaline, psilocybin, and ibogaine, that are structurally similar to serotonin, and they produce their effects by disrupting normal functioning of the serotonin system. Historically, hallucinogenic plants were used largely for social and religious ritual, and their availability was limited by the climate and soil conditions they require. After the development of LSD, a synthetic compound that can be manufactured anywhere, abuse of hallucinogens became more widespread, and from the 1960s it increased dramatically. All LSD manufactured in this country is intended for illegal use, since LSD has no accepted medical use in the United States.
LSD is a clear or white, odorless, water-soluble material synthesized from lysergic acid, a compound derived from a rye fungus. LSD is the most potent mood- and perception-altering drug known: oral doses as small as 30 micrograms can produce effects that last 6 to 12 hours.
LSD is initially produced in crystalline form. The pure crystal can be crushed to powder and mixed with binding agents to produce tablets known as "microdots" or thin squares of gelatin called "window panes"; more commonly, it is dissolved, diluted, and applied to paper or other materials. The most common form of LSD is called "blotter acid" - sheets of paper soaked in LSD and perforated into 1/4-inch square, individual dosage units. Variations in manufacturing and the presence of contaminants can produce LSD in colors ranging from clear or white, in its purest form, to tan or even black. Even uncontaminated LSD begins to degrade and discolor soon after it is manufactured, and drug distributors often apply LSD to colored paper, making it difficult for a buyer to determine the drug's purity or age.

Arkansas Fires Football HC Petrino
Published April 11th, 2012
Loading Video...
In a world where college football head coaches seem to be above reproach, Bobby Petrino found out Tuesday night that he is not. Petrino, the man who brought the Arkansas Razorbacks back to the top ten of the national rankings, was fired after lying, and trying to cover up details surrounding a motorcycle crash on April 1. Police reports and further investigation revealed that Petrino not only lied to his athletic director about a mistress that was on board the motorcycle during the crash- he also hired the woman, Jessica Dorrell, on to his football staff and gave her $20,000 in cash.

This content is part of a series.The Sexual Captive (2 of 7)
Series: Can't Believe: Gospel of John
JD Greear
John 4:1-24; John 8:1-11
We have begun a series called "Can't Believe" in which we are looking at 7 kinds of people who can't believe.
All of them are found in the Gospel of John. "Believing" is a major theme of the Gospel of John. The word occurs 99 times in the book.
Some of these people couldn't believe because they had blind spots or secret prejudices; some couldn't believe because they had unanswered questions; some of them wanted to believe but, for whatever reason, just felt like they couldn't. We're going to see
how Jesus engaged each of them. Next week we'll look at how there were some people in John 6 who were so focused on political issues they missed Jesus' gospel; a few weeks after that we'll look at how Pilate couldn't believe because he was a coward; then we'll look at the skeptic; and the moral failure. So we got some great stuff ahead of us.
This week, we're going to discuss those who can't believe because they are sexual captives. And what I mean by that is people who are slaves to their sexual desires, and because of that that they can never take the Lordship of Jesus seriously. I also mean people who feel like the sexual mistakes of their past mean that God would never have any interest in them again-they are too damaged; too far gone.
Jesus deals with this group twice in John; we're going to look quickly at both stories.
But let me just say-of all the stories we're going to look at over the next several weeks, this one seems the most relevant to our culture:
• I've read that there are two main reasons people lose their faith in college. The #2 reason is they encounter some problem they can't explain-if there is a good God, why is there such pain in the world? (and we'll deal with that in a few weeks), but the #1 reason why people depart the faith in college is a desire for sexual freedom.
• Your preferred lifestyle starts to ...

Home » About IDEA's Role in Legislative Issues » Archive of Policy & Legislative Assets
February 6, 2014: Comments from IDEA President & CEO Rob Thornton for consideration in the Ontario Power Authority's (OPA) review of the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Procurement Process.
The Master Limited Partnerships (MLP) Parity Act is designed to level the playing field by giving investors in renewable-energy projects access to a decades-old tax advantage now available only to investors in fossil fuel-based energy projects. IDEA supports the MLP Parity Act as a common-sense solution to enable stronger financial support for clean energy investments like combined heat and power.
The MLP Parity Act is a straightforward, 200-word bill that would allow investors in renewable and clean energy (CHP) projects to form master limited partnerships (MLPs), which combine the funding advantages of corporations and the tax advantages of partnerships. MLPs have worked effectively for fossil fuels like oil and gas exploration. The MLP Parity Act would allow additional forms of energy development to access this market tool through a tweak to the federal tax code that could unleash significant private capital into the energy market.
On Tuesday June 25, IDEA Legislative Director Mark Spurr provided testimony to the US Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources on a bill sponsored by Senator Al Franken (D-MN) - S.1205, the "Local Energy Supply and Resiliency Act" (LESRA).
Click here to read Mark Spurr's testimony. For additional information on the "Local Energy Supply and Resiliency Act", please visit here.
Senate Bill 1205 is intended to reduce energy waste, strengthen energy system resiliency, increase industrial competitiveness, and promote local economic development by helping public and private entities to assess and implement energy systems that recover and use waste heat and local renewable energy resources.
This bill is being considered as an amendment to S. 761: "Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2013", co-sponsored by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Senator Rob Portman (R-OH).
IDEA Update:
On May 8, 2013, the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a Congressional briefing in Washington D.C., "Energy Efficient Infrastructure for More Resilient Local Economies: The Role of District Energy, CHP, and Microgrids." Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.) and members of the International District Energy Association (IDEA) explained how District Energy, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and Microgrids can make local energy supply more reliable and more resilient in the face of more frequent severe weather events that have caused electricity supply disruptions and serious economic losses....
The International District Energy Association commends U.S. legislators who have re-introduced the bipartisan Master Limited Partnerships (MLP) Parity Act (S. 795). The bill was originally introduced in 2012 and has since been expanded and improved, attracting additional bipartisan sponsorship in both the Senate and the House from Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Representatives Ted Poe (R-TX-02), Mike Thompson (D-CA-05), Peter Welch (D-VT-AL) and Chris Gibson (R-NY-19).
The bill aims to level the energy playing field by giving investors in renewable and clean energy projects access to a decades-old business structure that is taxed as a partnership but traded like corporate stock on a market and whose tax advantage is available now only to investors in fossil fuel-based energy projects. (see also"Senators introduce S.795 Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act.)
|On August 30, 2012, President Obama signed Executive Order 13626, calling for action in the deployment of 40 gigawatts of new, cost-effective industrial Combined Heat and Power (CHP) capacity in the United States by 2020. For more information, please refer to the Executive Order and the corresponding report released by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency titled "Combined Heat and Power: A Clean Energy Solution."
IDEA applauds a group of leading European organizations for issuing a joint statement in support of an ambitious heating and cooling policy as part of efforts to achieve aggressive carbon reduction goals across the European Union. IDEA strongly supports the sentiments expressed in the statement affirms the relevance of this message to the U.S. energy discussion.

Summary of the Amendment:
Full Text of S. Amendment 1903 to H.R. 3183: download.
On May 13, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule addressing implementation of certain Clean Air Act permitting programs for stationary sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This so-called "Tailoring Rule" establishes emissions thresholds and a phased timetable for permitting under the New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and title V Operating Permit programs. Publication of the rule in the Federal Register.
The Tailoring Rule is the latest in a series of linked rulemaking actions by the EPA stemming from the Supreme Court's 2007 decision in Massachusetts v. EPA. In the Massachusetts decision, the Court held that GHGs are "pollutants" under the Clean Air Act, and ordered EPA to make a science-based determination as to whether GHG emissions from motor vehicles contribute to an endangerment of public health and welfare - or explain why the science is too uncertain for such a determination. (For more information, see April 2, 2007 Issue Alert.)
EPA responded to the Court's mandate in December 2009, finding that mobile source GHG emissions contribute to climate change that endangers public health and welfare. (For more information, see December 9, 2009 Issue Alert.) Under Section 202 of the CAA, this endangerment finding triggered an obligation for EPA to establish GHG emission standards for motor vehicles. EPA finalized the vehicle standards in April of this year; the standards first apply to 2012 model year vehicles. (For more information, see April 6, 2010 Issue Alert.)
EPA's promulgation of standards for vehicles also has implications for stationary sources. Under the structure of the Clean Air Act, when a pollutant becomes "subject to regulation," certain facilities that emit that pollutant must obtain permits under the PSD and title V programs. Accordingly, EPA's finalization of the vehicle standards required EPA to determine: (1) when GHGs become "subject to regulation"; and (2) which stationary sources of GHG emissions will become subject to PSD and title V requirements.
EPA addressed the first question in guidance that was finalized on March 29, 2010. Under the so-called "Johnson Memorandum" proceeding, EPA determined that GHGs would first become "subject to regulation" on January 2, 2011, reasoning that this is the earliest date that a 2012 model year vehicle meeting the new vehicle standards can be introduced into commerce. (For more information, see April 6, 2010 Issue Alert.)
The Tailoring Rule addresses the second question, i.e., which stationary sources are subject to the PSD and title V permitting requirements.
Tailoring the PSD and Title V Programs for GHGs
The PSD program requires that all new "major sources," and all major sources undertaking modifications that result in a "significant" increase in emissions, obtain preconstruction permits and install "best available control technology" (BACT) for all pollutants subject to regulation. Under the Clean Air Act, a "major source" is an entity that emits or has the potential to emit 100 or 250 tons per year (tpy) of a pollutant, depending upon the type of source, and the default "significance" threshold for modifications is any increase in pollutant emissions resulting from the modification. In addition, sources emitting over 100 tpy of a regulated pollutant are generally required to obtain an operating permit under title V of the Clean Air Act.
For conventional non-GHG pollutants, the 100 to 250 tpy threshold only captured very large facilities such as power plants and industrial installations. Because GHGs tend to be emitted in large quantities, even from smaller sources, EPA has determined that applying the Clean Air Act's 100 or 250 tpy thresholds to GHGs would result in substantial increases in the number of required permits, potentially causing the PSD program to expand to tens of thousands permits per year, and causing millions of new title V permits to be required. According to EPA, these permitting loads would overwhelm the resources of permitting authorities - impairing their ability to manage air quality.
In the Tailoring Rule, EPA argues that these results would be contrary to the intent of Congress. EPA therefore argues that the judicial doctrines of "absurd results" and "administrative necessity" justify at least a temporary departure from the statutory thresholds. In the final version of the rule, EPA also cites a third legal rationale - the "one-step-at-a-time" doctrine - under which an administering agency, under certain circumstances, has the discretion implement a statutory provision in phased approach.
On the basis of these rationales, the final Tailoring Rule outlines a three-step schedule for application of the PSD and title V program:
Step 1 (January 2, 2011 to June 30, 2011). During this period, the PSD permitting requirements would apply only to sources that: (1) making modifications resulting increases in GHG emissions of 75,000 tons carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e) per year or more; and (2) are already required to obtain PSD permits on account of emissions of pollutants other than GHGs. Sources that are already required to obtain, renew, or revise their title V permits as a result of non-GHG emissions would need to include GHG emissions in their permit applications.
Step 2 (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2013). In this step, the PSD permitting requirements will apply to new sources emitting at least 100,000 tons CO2e per year, and to existing sources that undertake modifications that increase emissions by at least 75,000 tons CO2e per year. Title V permits would be required for facilities emitting over 100,000 tons CO2e per year.
Step 3. In the third step, EPA would commit to undertake additional rulemakings starting in 2011 to determine whether and how to phase in the PSD and title V permitting requirements for sources below the 75,000 and 100,000 ton thresholds. The third phase is expected to begin on July 1, 2013. However, the preamble declares that EPA will not apply the permitting requirements to sources with emissions below 50,000 tons prior to April 2016. In addition, EPA will consider various approaches for streamlining permit proceedings in the course of these rulemakings.
EPA asserts that, under its phased approach, "Emissions from small farms, restaurants, and all but the very largest commercial facilities will not be covered by these programs at this time."
Looking Ahead
Critical issues related to the implementation of the PSD and title V permitting programs for GHGs still lie ahead. For example, these permitting programs are carried out mostly by state agencies. Many states have codified the relevant Clean Air Act provisions into their statutes and regulations, which implies that some states may have to amend their rules to implement the phased approach in the Tailoring Rule. This process could slow the implementation of PSD and title V permitting for GHG sources.
In addition, looming over the implementation of the PSD program is the question of what will constitute BACT for GHGs at different kinds of facilities. Traditionally, BACT has taken the form of commercially available, end-of-pipe emission control technologies. However, such technologies generally are not available for controlling GHG emissions. Accordingly, EPA reportedly is considering providing guidance to state permitting authorities on alternative approaches, including approaches involving efficiency improvements.
Also, the fate of the Tailoring Rule could be affected by actions in the courts and in Congress. It seems likely that the Tailoring Rule itself will be subject to legal challenge. In addition, petitions for review of EPA's "endangerment finding," which is the legal basis for regulation of GHGs under the Clean Air Act, are currently pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. A successful challenge to the endangerment finding would remove the basis of EPA's authority to regulate GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act altogether - with respect to both mobile sources and stationary sources.
In Congress, the Senate is expected to take up a "Resolution of Disapproval" of the endangerment finding, which has been introduced by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). The procedural deadline for consideration of the resolution is June 7. Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) has circulated draft language that would remove EPA's authority to regulate GHGs not only under the Clean Air Act, but also the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act. Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) has introduced a bill that would suspend EPA's authority to regulate GHG emissions from stationary sources for two years. Similar bills are pending in the House of Representatives.
In addition, both the Waxman-Markey climate change bill passed by the House of Representatives in June 2009 (H.R. 2454, the "American Clean Energy and Security Act"), and the Kerry-Lieberman discussion draft released this week (the "American Power Act"), would preempt EPA's authority to regulate GHG emissions under the PSD and title V programs.
Response from National Association of State Foresters:
Coalition letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson
Subject: EPA Tailoring Rule on biogenic carbon
Date: June 18. 2010
The Honorable Lisa P. Jackson
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20460
Dear Administrator Jackson:
We were dismayed to find that the final Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule (Tailoring Rule) would treat greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of biomass the same as such emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. This is a significant shift in federal policy, contrary to the country's renewable energy objectives, and lacks an adequate explanation in the record. Fortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the opportunity to correct this development and realign the Tailoring Rule with federal renewable energy policy prior to the effective date of greenhouse gas regulation on January 2, 2011....[Signed by 163 organizations]

IDEA supports Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mike Crapo (R-ID), and Mark Begich (D-AK) for introducing a bill that would help businesses across the country meet their heating needs with renewable biomass.
"We need to break our dependence on imported fossil fuels, and biomass, used effectively and sustainably, can help do that," said Senator Shaheen, the original sponsor of the bill. "The American Renewable Biomass Heating Act will help put highly efficient biomass on a level playing field with other renewable resources and create the incentives businesses need to invest in clean energy. There is no reason why the United States cannot and should not be a leader in clean energy technologies, including biomass."
The American Renewable Biomass Heating Act of 2010 (S. 3188) would establish a corporate tax credit equal to 30% of the installed cost of biomass-fueled heating (or cooling) systems for commercial or industrial applications. The credit would have no maximum and would be available for biomass thermal systems placed in service on or before December 31, 2013.
"This bipartisan bill will help create a market for commercial scale biomass thermal systems," said Charlie Niebling, Chairman of the Washington D.C.-based Biomass Thermal Energy Council. "It supports biomass thermal with the same incentive that already exists for every other renewable energy technology, including solar thermal and electric, wind, and geothermal. Businesses are some of our nation's biggest consumers of thermal energy, and S. 3188 will provide a powerful incentive to switch to biomass fuels that we produce here in America."
By offsetting fossil fuel use in heating sector with renewable biomass, this bill could reduce American consumption of foreign oil and other non-renewable fossil energy by millions of gallons and lower greenhouse gas emissions in the commercial and industrial sectors.
To qualify for the credit, biomass boilers and furnaces would be required to operate at greater than 75% efficiency and provide thermal energy for space heating, air conditioning, domestic hot water, or industrial process heat. Large scale biomass thermal systems have been widely deployed in Europe, where government incentives have played a vital role in helping reduce fossil energy and create new clean energy jobs.

History of protest in Minnesota is meeting topic
Rhoda Gilman, a Minnesota historian, will be in the Brainerd lakes area on May 30 to talk about the history of protest in Minnesota. She will be talk about this rich history at 7 PM at Lord of Life Church in Baxter. This event, sponsored by the Brainerd Lakes League of Women Voters, is free and open to the public.
The topic is the heart of her newest book, "Stand Up!", published in 2012. She will discuss what makes Minnesotans unique in their approach to protest.
Gilman joined the staff of the Minnesota Historical Society in 1958 as a research assistant on a project related to Ignatius Donnelly, the state's 19th-century spokesman for populism. For the next 34 years, as an editor, researcher, writer, and administrator, she worked to broaden and deepen knowledge of Minnesota's history, especially its Indian people and its women.
She has written several books, including "The Story of Minnesota's Past", which was originally published as a textbook for middle school students, "Red River Trails" (1979), and a full-length biography, "Henry Hastings Sibley: Divided Heart" (2004), of the state's first governor.
Her articles have appeared in Minnesota History, The Smithsonian Journal of History, Journal of the West, the Wisconsin Magazine of History, Daedalus, and many others.
She was a longtime supporter and contributor to the North Country Anvil, an alternative magazine published in Millville, from 1972 to 1989. After her retirement she edited an anthology of its articles and poetry, which was entitled Ringing in the Wilderness.
In 2008 she and her daughter, Betsy Raasch-Gilman, were both honored by the Vincent L. Hawkinson Foundation of Minneapolis for their work toward peace and social justice.

Sooooooo, when we last left off, Michael destroyed the lab and the professor they were rescuing turned out to be none other than Professor Oak! (Seriously, show of hands of who saw that one coming)
I won't bore you with my excuse this time since apart from the college campus tour and the longboards, it wasn't that interesting.
By the time Lance dropped off Michael in front of the lab, it was midnight. "I don't want the professor in Orre any longer than I have to." He said "There still may be some Cipher agents out for revenge. I'll call you once were back in Kanto. Speaking of which, when are you planning on coming?"
"The flight leaves in about a month." Michael yawned. The mission had left him utterly exhausted and the wounds he had sustained were sapping his strength.
Lance gave him a final wave of the hand and drove off. Michael watched through bleary eyes until the van rounded the corner and was gone. He then turned around and trudged back to the lab with Jolteon.
Michael slipped in through the living quarter's entrance and entered the bathroom. He opened the cabinet and pulled out medical supplies. He first tended to Jolteon. While they were worse than his, fortunately, apart from the gash from the Tauros' horns, he was able to apply antiseptic and be done with it. The gash however, had to be stitched.
Michael cleaned the congealed blood and dirt away, gave Jolteon a few painkiller pills, and threaded a needle. He then rolled up a towel and gave it to Jolteon to bite down on. Then, carefully, yet quickly, he put in several uneven stitches and closed the wound. Jolteon whimpered only on the first and second stitches, then settled into grim silence. Satisfied with his handiwork, Michael cleaned up the mess made Jolteon taking care of Jolteon. Shooing Jolteon out, he removed his shirt and looked himself over. The shirt itself was torn and covered with dirt and blood- completely unsalvageable. Tossing it in the trash, Michael looked at himself. He had dozens of small incisions where bits of the shadow rave still remained, pulsating in a sick purplish color. He grabbed a pair of tweezers and tried to remove one, but it shattered into pieces, and a bolt of pain laced through his body. He opened his mouth in a soundless howl and then felt nothing.
13 year old Jovi woke to bright light coming out of the bathroom. She ignored it at first, but when it persisted for several minutes, she began to get annoyed. Throwing off the covers, she walked out of her room and into the bathroom. She looked inside and clapped her hand over her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
Inside, her brother was slumped unconscious on the toilet seat. A steady stream of blood poured out of a puncture wound in his chest. Jovi snatched several gauze pads from the counter and pressed them into the hole. The blood indifferently soaked through the gauze and continued to pour out.
Jovi turned and ran for her mother's room. She threw open the door and ran in.
"MOM! Michael is in the bathroom and he's bleeding badly!"
Michael awoke in a fuzzy haze. His body felt raw and sore, and he had something sticking out of his arm.
Wait, something sticking out of his arm?
In a flash, Michael was awake. He looked at his arm to find an IV inserted in his forearm.
He shouldn't have done that. His head began to swim and he felt queasy.
"Relax Michael. You've been out for 24 hours."
Michael turned to see his step- father, Professor Krane watching him.
"You don't need to talk, just listen. As you should have remembered, shadow attack remnants shatter and cause even worse damage if you attempt to remove them."
"It must've slipped my mind sir." Michael groaned.
Krane frowned. "It slipping your mind nearly got you killed. Had you removed one of the shards above a major organ, or if Jovi hadn't gotten to you so soon, you could have bled out. We've managed to stop the bleeding, but you'll need 3 weeks of recovery time."
"Three weeks" thought Michael, "my plane leaves in four! That'll barely give me enough time to get supplies for Kanto."
Jolteon padded in to check on his trainer. The sight of the electric pokemon sparked a memory in Michael's brain.
"Sir, I managed to capture several shadow pokemon, but one had a critical injury."
"I know." Professor Krane said, his face softening. "We sent the Charizard to the pokemon emergency center in the Kanto region. The doctors say it's bad, but not irreparable. As soon as he's stable, they'll send him back and we can purify him like the others."
"Thank you sir"
"Speaking of Pokemon, was it your intention to stitch Jolteon's cut shut with tooth floss?
"No sir, I have to admit it was not." Michael said. to be honest, he wasn't surprised he had done so. He had been utterly exhausted last night and could've easily mixed up a spool of thread and a container of floss.
"Also, stop calling me sir, Michael. If you don't want to call me dad, that's fine, but at least call me Professor Krane, or just Krane."
"Okay,,, Krane." Michael said, rolling the last word around."
Krane stood up. "I need to get back to the lab. The machine said you showed signs of waking up and I didn't want you to wake up alone. If you need me or anyone else, email us with your PDA."
"Thanks for doing that Krane."
He smiled and left. As soon as he rounded the corner, Michael began tugging at the IV
"Oh, and don't pull the IV out until the bag is empty." Krane called. "It's pumping fluid to help safely dissolve the Shadow splinters."
Michael's hand dropped dejectedly. IVs were a nuisance and impeded his movement. Plus, he didn't particularly enjoy the idea of something sharp sticking into one of his major veins for an extended period of time.
Krane had barely left when Jovi came flying into the room. She skidded to a stop at his bed and punched him in the arm
"Ow! What the hell was that for Jov-?"
"What was that for!?" Jovi yelled, "What was that for!? That's for not getting anyone up when you came home and nearly bleeding to death! That's for making me donate 2 pints of blood just to keep you stable! God knows how many times you've come close to dying, but this is the dumbest one yet!" She paused for breath, then flung her arms around him sobbing.
Michael patted her back awkwardly. "Hey. It's okay. It's okay"
"I don't know what I would do without my brother." Jovi sobbed. "Ever since Cipher became, like, actually dangerous and you became even more involved, I feared that you wouldn't come home one time."
Michael's heart melted. As the war against Cipher progressed, Michael had been forced to harden his heart to protect against the pain and loss. Jovi had somehow been able to still bring out the old Michael. "Cut it out Jovi" Michael said. "You're making me start to cry, and we both know that won't end well."
She gave a soft laugh and pulled away. "Don't you DARE try to die on us again, big Brother." She said, using the nickname she made up for him years ago. "Mom and I hate it when you do."
"I'll try."
She turned to leave. "By the way," she tossed over her shoulder, "a letter came in the mail today, inviting you to some big party in the capital."
Michaels mind initially pondered the fact that Orre now had a postal system. Then reality hit him in the face and his eyes widened in horror.
He was invited to a party in the capital where he would have to deal with annoying politicians trying to find out what the Pokemon G-Men were doing behind their backs.
Members of Cipher could be there waiting to kill him.
He was going to have to wear something besides Jeans, a T-Shirt, and a hoodie.
He was going to have to wear a tie!
Chapter 6 guys! I probably would've gotten this out sooner, but thanksgiving came along and I didn't find time to sit down and write stuff out. I'll have the next chapter out as soon as possible, but I'm going camping this weekend, and midterms are staring me in the face. I'm going to sign off and do something to make them less scary (party hats, and stick on moustaches, perhaps,,,,)

Man gets 20 years in meth case
A Kona man who was part of a drug and burglary ring referred to by Assistant Police Chief Paul Kealoha as "iceheads" who burglarize homes "to support a habit" has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Kona Circuit Judge Elizabeth Strance handed down the sentence to 26-year-old Joseph Augustino Narzisi on Jan. 17 for methamphetamine trafficking, burglary and other offenses.
The convictions stem from two separate home invasion incidents in August in which Narzisi unlawfully entered two separate homes and assaulted the occupants and threatened them with a handgun.
On Aug. 28, a search warrant was executed on Narzisi's Kealakekua apartment. Police found various types of drugs and paraphernalia, two guns and ammunition and stolen laptop computers and an iPad.
Narzisi was arrested on Aug. 29 at the Lokahi Apartments in Kailua-Kona. Vice officers executed a search warrant on that apartment and found 63.3 grams of methamphetamine, almost a gram of heroin, 178 alprazolam pills, which are marketed as Xanax, and four morphine pills.
Several vehicles belonging to Narzisi were also seized for pending forfeiture proceedings, including a 2010 Dodge Dakota pickup truck, a 2006 BMW sedan and two motorcycles.

I have read several posts about how to transfer Palm data into Outlook: Use Palm option in Programs to "Sync with Outlook" ... my computer gives me a message that Outlook is not installed on this computer (I have only had it on this computer for six months, maybe that's the problem); Make some changes to code because I have Outlook 2010; etc. None of the reply suggestions work for me. What am I not doing?
I am really trying to get my Centro data (definitely the Date Book) transferred to my Blackberry Curve. The Curve desktop software has an option to import from Outlook so I figure if I can just get the data into Outlook, I'm home free. I have a laptop that allowed me to "Sync with Outlook" from Programs but the data does not appear in the Outlook calendar. That laptop has Outlook 2007.
Oh, and I have tried to follow the instructions for hot syncing the Centro (with cable) to the laptop so that the Blackberry desktop software detects the phone thus allowing the data to be transferred that way. Unfortunately, I cannot sync via cable to my desktop or my laptop as both of them are 64 bit machines. Use of the Palm cable on a 64 bit machine has not been provided by Palm! Also, the laptop is using Windows 7 (not by choice).
So, I really hope there is somebody out there that can help me get my Centro data either, 1.) transferred to Outlook or 2.) transferred to my Blackberry.

Throwback Thursday Advice, Part I
Posted by Staff Writer on August 21, 2014
In honor of #TBT (that's Throwback Thursday to those who didn't know!), we thought we'd review some of the best advice we've received here at Minnesota School of Business-Richfield (MSB) over the past year: advice to current and prospective students, and to those searching for employment. You may notice some themes emerging. Take it away!
MSB digital video and media production (DV) graduate Kyle Walczak on the importance of networking: "Focus on building relationships. The worst thing you can do is to not reach out."
MSB graduation keynote speaker Tim Carter on what he looks for in an employee (in order): 1. Positive attitude; 2. Strong work ethic; 3. A desire to help others succeed; 4. Results. "If you do numbers one, two and three better than everyone else, you'll get results," Tim said.
Information technology Program Chair Richard Grieman on the importance of volunteering: "There are people who have dedicated their professional lives to making the world into a better place. Since improving the world is a notoriously unprofitable enterprise, these people are chronically short of money and resources. That's where you come in."
Paralegal program graduate Michael Collins on role-modeling for his child: "[I wanted] to set an example for our daughter. Both my wife and I are continuing our education on towards higher-level degrees. Parental achievement and the strive for achievement have a high impact on a child's achievements and success later on in life."
MSB DV grad David Crowley on how his education enhanced his career path: "It put me in contact with people I was able to network with, since media is all about who you know. These contacts have been important to spreading out and getting more jobs."
Nursing program student Alyssa Goodew on pursuing your passion: "Find something you love and care about. That way you can give the most you can. If you don't love it, you won't put your heart into it."
Business administration student Angie Averle on how to balance school and life: "If it's a class I don't understand, I do my homework right after class when it is still fresh in my head so I understand it better. Don't procrastinate!"
DV program grad Leah Teravskis had this to share with students: "You are only going to get out of [college] what you put in. It is what you make of it—if you want the most out of it, put in the effort!"
Wise words that endure. Part II next week!

I want to be able to secure the users in spiceworks to only access certain areas. For example, I only want the desktop team to be able to access helpdesk and nothing else. Right now everyone goes in as an admin and has access to everything.

Sure can. Change their account to a Helpdesk Admin on their People card or in the User settings.
Nov 24, 2010 at 3:24 UTC
You can also install the Restricted Admin plugin to allow an admin to everything except the Settings areas.
Nov 24, 2010 at 3:28 UTC
Thanks Gina, how do I access thier people card?
Nov 24, 2010 at 4:21 UTC
From the Inventory menu you should see People to see all your user accounts and admins. If you are not syncing user accounts, just go into settings, users and click on Admin for the respective admin. You should get a drop down to change it.
Nov 24, 2010 at 4:26 UTC
It only gives me admin or reporting as the only two options. Is there a setting I am missing?
Nov 24, 2010 at 4:28 UTC
What version are you running? The 5.0 version should give you a Helpdesk Admin also. If you are not on 5.0, then you don't know what you're missing!
Nov 24, 2010 at 4:30 UTC
Ahh, that is the issue. I will upgrade this weekend.

I can't link to anything easily because I've been responding from my phone. Do a little searching on the new features. You will be pleasantly surprised. Enjoy!

I joined a "side" of clog morris dancers known as The Old Bull" in 1980. We all attended weekly practices and danced out at various local pubs in the area.
Our practice venue was a former pub known as the Old Bull. It was purchased by Barnet Urban District Council in 1963 with a view to demolishing the building and creating an access road to a bypass parallel to Barnet High Street which was destined to become pedestrianised. However this proposal never matured, and the building was inherited by the London Borough of Barnet when the boroughs merged in 1965. It was used as a Civic Defence Centre and the magistrates office before being opened in 1975 as The Old Bull Arts Centre by a local group who had been running a summer festival in nearby Ewen Hall Barnet for a few years. Our side of Morris Dancers was just one of many arts organisations who used the venue.
I still wear my dancing clogs with the Old Bull logo although I have now retired and live in Devon and am no longer fit enough to do the vigorous "north-west" style of clog morris dancing. Instead I join in with the musicians of the Heather and Gorse Clog Morris side in south Devon.

After a lot of thought and research, I bought our first batch of plants for our front flower bed.
I went with a modern casual look that brings together lots of textures and bright jewel tones to compliment our celery house color. Of course, the plants will take some time to grow in, but I am pretty confident (ha! fingers crossed) it will look fabulous. 🙂
The Grasses
Let's start with the ornamental grasses. Perfect for our climate, they give that modern look I am after.
To save cost, I divided two of the grasses in half. This is easy to do – just cut through the plant evenly in half or quarters. You want them to be able to establish a strong root system so divide them in spring or early summer when they are are growing, but not flowering.
Purple Fountain Grass
(pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum')
I planted four Rubrums. They are a pretty common grass in these parts and can grow up to 3-4 feet tall. They will begin to flower this summer with soft purple foxtails. Then in late fall, when the leaves start to turn brown they will go dormant until spring.
Fireworks – a variegated fountain grass
(pennisetum setaceum)
According to my research, this plant was the first variegated purple fountain grass and a pretty hot ticket item when it came out. I bought only one because some reviews said it goes back to the original fountain grass color when it gets older so I'll see what happens. I will say that the plant is pretty cool looking with leaves that are burgundy along the middle and hot pink on either side. It behaves like the Rubrums so will flower in the summer then can be cut back in late fall to return the following spring.
Sky Rocket – a variegated fountain grass
(pennisetum setaceum)
I believe the Sky Rocket plant came off the success of Fireworks. I like how it looks against the house and the contrast against the purple grasses. It will have silvery pink foxtails this summer.
Blooms & Vine
Mixed into the grasses are a few bright blooms and a potato vine. I plan to add a bunch of ferns my Mom is going to to give me.
Supertunia Raspberry Blast
(petunia hybrid)
Supertunia is a petunia bred to bloom in hot temperatures. This guy can get quite large – perfect for a big color statement. I was afraid he's a little too grandma garden for me – but I love the color so I just went for it.
Sutera Snowstorm Giant Snowflake
(sutera cordata)
Sutera has white blossoms that attract butterflies and should flower all summer long. The only issue I found in my research is it will not wilt when it dries out like other plants. Instead, it just drops all of it's flowers and won't bloom again for a couple weeks. I will have to make sure it's well watered so that doesn't happen.
Purple Trailing Lantana
(lantana montevidensis)
The blooms on the Lantana are also great for attracting butterflies. I bought three which will become a mass of lilac pink to purple blooms spring to fall. I've read that the foliage will change to a red or purple color in the colder months. I have an orange Lantata which survived our winter fine, so I think these guys will do well.
Sweet Caroline Purple Potato Vine
(ipomoea batatas)
The potato vine will eventually spill over the side of the bed with it lovely plum leaves and light purple blooms. It was planted strategically next to ugly plumbing so it can hopefully cover it. I've planted these before, but they died during the winter months. To keep them alive, I've read you can dig out the tubers and store in a cool dry container until spring.
With temperatures in the 90's this week, I am keeping a close eye on all the new plants. I'll be checking them morning and night to keep them watered. Next up is adding the ferns and planting our bed under our front window.

Addis Neger is an Ethiopian daily news website published in Maryland, USA, for a worldwide Ethiopian audience. It is the largest metropolitan website available for the Ethiopian diaspora. Founded on August 4, 2006, the site was rated the number one Ethiopian news web site in 2008.[citation needed] However, it is not connected to the popular Addis Neger private newspaper in Ethiopia.
The original Addis Neger news outlet was founded in 2005 by two political science students in Ethiopia. After the government arrested one of the students, the other fled to the U.S. and established the website in 2006 in order to publicize the political and social situation in Ethiopia. The names of the members are purposely kept hidden until the imprisoned student is released.
