event on October 7, and a Hallow-een
party. Concerning the gala
event, President Oaklund said,
"Don't date too much between now
and the event. Save your energy
for then." Dues of 50 cents per
quarter were decided upon. Please
note this special bargain: Dues
will be only $1.25 for the year if
paid by October 7. They are to be
paid to Pat Rodgers, treasurer.

"Nik Dag" is one of the main
events for the sophomores to plan,
as stated by president Jack Tier-ney.
He stressed the fact that the
sophomores must get their dues
paid. A committee has been chosen
and is now planning the class
homecoming activities.

Shirley Anderson
Elected Secretary
Shirley Anderson, elected last Friday in Chapel, begins her duties
as recording secretary of the Bethel Student Senate with a record of
services and activities that makes her well qualified for this position.
Shirley, a senior at Bethel this year, was a member of God's Invasion
Army during 1952, after having
completed her freshman year of
college here. In 1953 she returned
and was a member of the Social
Council. During her sophomore
and junior years, Shirley has been
secretary of the religious council
and has been chairman of the com-mittee
in charge of the Wednesday
evening student fellowships. She
works in the dining hall, and also
sings in the College choir.
Her job as recording secretary
of the senate has many varied
duties according to the Student
Senate constitution. She must first
take the minutes of all the senate
meetings, and issue notices of all
meetings to senate members. She
must keep copies of all the pro-ceedings
and decisions of the stu-dent
government, and also post
the decisions of the senate not
more than two days after they
are made. The recording secretary
is to keep roll and take atten-dance
at all the Student Senate
meetings. She must also keep a
record of all senate elections and
the results of them. She is the
official Student Senate represen-tative
to the faculty committee on
student activities.
Tennis' Courts
Tennis fans on Bethel campus
were startled last Tuesday to see
a couple of bulldozers assault the
newly-completed tennis courts and
chew the beautiful asphalt topping
into chunks with their steel teeth.
In a couple of days, under the
wondering students' eyes, the des-truction
was completed and the
debris hauled away in trucks. Then
a new crew of machines moved in
to build a new surface.
A faulty job created the need

So Long, Dort's
The resignation of Miss Doris Moberg, Bethel's school nurse
since January, 1952, becomes effective Saturday, October 1. Doris
plans to leave then for Hinsdale, Illinois, where she will take the
position as evening supervisor of the Cook County Suburban Tuber-culosis
Sanitorium. From us to you: So long,
One of Four Given
To St. Paul Schools
A hand-lettered page from a sixteenth century choir book came to
rest last week at Bethel college after a long trip from its European
home. The parchment which is valued at $1,000, was a gift from Mr.
Stanley S. Slotkin, who had a part in its discovery in a long-buried
cathedral room in Valencia, Spain.
The large sheet, about two by
three feet, is of white vellum,
which is fine-grained lambskin,
and is in a perfect state of pre-servation.
It is inscribed on both
sides with Latin chants, accom-panied
by musical notes written as
black squares on a staff of five
red lines.
Mr. Slotkin made his discovery
in 1954 while representing the
United States government in set-ting
up a wood-working factory.
The choir books and other church
treasures came to light when
workmen were digging a pit to
set up a hydraulic press. Mr. Slot-kin
was allowed to keep about 100
pages, which he has been giving
away to churches, schools, and
galleries for permanent display. In
St. Paul, leaves were given to the
Public Library and to three schools
beside Bethel: St. Paul Catholic
seminary, college of St. Catherine,
and Macalester college.
Plans are now being made to
preserve the manuscript in such
a way as to make it both usable
and safe from deterioration.

Dressed Up For What?
Dress-up night, a tradition long under fire on campus, is
pointless. It's a puny attempt at being collegiate.
Take the average Bethel male. Six of the seven days of the
week he needn't worry too much about a tie and coat—and why
should he ? We in the Middle West haven't gone Harvard yet. Go
to the University of Minnesota and you'll see the same amount
of casualness you find here. Anyway, to get back to Homo Bethelus
—he suddenly remembers at 5 :45 p.m. Wednesday that the even-ing
meal requires coat and tie. Dashing to his room, he switches
sport shirt for the Sunday shirt and tie, and sweater for sport coat.
He suffers through the meal, which has romantic but terrible-for-seeing
candlelight. Then after the meal, in most cases, the fellow
returns to his room and his old clothes. What's the use?
The girls have to argue for themselves, but from a man's
viewpoint dress-up night seems silly.
A Worm's Cult
"You got the mark of the cult ?"
"Yes, sir!"
"And you like it ? How did it happen ?"
Well, you see, I was squirming across Bethel campus the other
day on my way to the tulip bed when Iyam Endiffrunt, a fellow
chordate, bumped into me and said, "Excuse me."
I asked him what for and he said, "For bumping into you!"
"But we're always bumping into each other," I reminded him, "in
our small world. And you never pardoned yourself before."
He explained that was because nobody ever pardoned anybody in
our small world. It was one of the outstanding characteristics of the
phylum Hookares. "But now when I bump," he boasted, "it's a cul-tured
bump ! It's got culture."
"Endi," I asked him, "what's so different between a cultured
bump and a plain old bump ?"
He put his many-splendored arms all over my shoulder and
confided, "Just from one worm to another, it's all in the head. Culture,
I mean. Either you got it or you ain't."
"Does it help you make a living, Endi ?" I questioned.
"Making a living ain't everything," he retored. "Life itself is more
important. No, culture don't help directly to make a living, but it
helps make a life."
He squirmed away.
And as I saw his last legs creeping around the first tulip stem,
I convinced myself, "From now on I'm going to be a worm with cul-ture
rather than just a plain old worm."
Yes sir, I'm glad I got the mark of the cult.

What Kind of Faith Do You Have?
by Dr. Clarence Bass, assistant professor of Philosophy
"Every utterance of man is a reflection on his philosophy of life."
So said a sage of many years ago. If this is true—and who among us
should doubt it—it is equally true that every utterance we make about
our Christian faith is a reflection of our theology.
Herein lies one of the most pronounced problems of our contem-porary
Christian culture. If what we say—and what we do—is a re-flection
of our way of thinking about God, then in most cases our
theology is hopelessly floundering in an abyss of confused thinking
about God and our devotion to Him.
The Christian faith is a personal relationship to a personal God.
To be sure it has a basis in dogma, and it has a standard of ethics
and it requires an intellectual assent to a certain creed, but in the
final analysis, it is a relationship established in the love of God and
man's response to that love.
To say that faith is the means by which we respond to God���as
if faith is a certainty based on a prior knowledge, grossly reduces
our relationship in such a way that it loses its uniqueness. Faith for
the Christian is a unique "surrender-in response" of the Christian
to the revelation which God makes of Himself.
It is precisely this "surrender-in-response" that causes man to
respond to God's overture of love. Such a faith can never be static—
as if it can established in a single experience from which it draws its
vitality without ever being renewed. Faith is a continuing "surrender-in-
response," based most certainly on the single experience of redemp-tion,
but continuing always to be renewed in the ever-fresh relations
to th revelation of God in Christ.
As Christian, therefore, our "faith" in God should never be based
solely on the creed to which we adhere, but on the recurring "surrender-in
response" of our soul to God. Every utterance of man should be a
reflection of this respose. What we say, what we do, what we are, is
a reflection of the degree to which we respond to God.
Examination of our lives could reveal the degree to which we—
as Bethel students and as Christians—have such a faith—a "surrender-in
response" faith. Do you dare?
ebapet ebat The testimony of Dorothy Haskins, noted editor and writer, in-terested
everyone who came to last Wednesday's chapel. She had a
remarkable and, to say the least, a different testimony. So remarkable
and different was it that she was roundly criticized by several persons.
There were grounds for criticism, but let's look at the other side.
First, the chapel hour is devotional. You come for a blessing. Is
it possible to get a blessing if some person looks and acts a very un-convincing
part ? It's really a matter whether you WANT to be
blessed or if you're looking for faults—and trouble. You'll find either,
you know—seldom both.
Second, Miss Haskin prepared the audience—at least slightly—
for what was coming when she said she was an actress and, indirectly,
that she was emotionally unstable. Therefore maybe she had a right
to "jerk tears." It put across a point. Every speaker knows the power
of emotion. And even if the emotion was "hammy" you must admit
that the story was worth hearing. Certainly hers stands out
from the run-of-the-mill conversions.

The choral groups
the year.
The College Choir recently announced the results of their elec-tions.
Dale Nystrom, seminary junior, has accepted duties as presi-dent.
Other officers include Don Stipe, senior, vice-president; Beverly
Carlson, junior, secretary - treasurer; and James Hansen, sophomore,
business manager. Among the
many pieces in the college choir's
repertoire are "Brother John's
Noel" by Pendleton which has as
its basic theme the familiar French
round tune "Are you sleeping, are
you sleeping ?" Also there are sev-eral
contemporary sweet-dissonant
pieces. For example, Sven Lek-berg's
"Make a Joyful Noise Unto
the Lord," and "Alleluia" by Ran-dall
Thompson. Pieces by Bach
and Schultz round out a most var-ied

Dear Editor:
I think that Bethel has a new
and definite problem which is not
only going to have to be faced
subjectively in the minds of three
or four hundred irate students, but
objectively in the hands of those
in charge. Many of us here on
campus are getting in the "habit"
of being late to morning and after-noon
classes due to the congestion
in the dining hall line. The prob-lem
is becoming worse every meal,
and I think that something must
be done.
Besides the increased number of
students, the lunch hours have
been shortened considerably. There
is also a complication with College
choir and male chorus practicing
during the noon hour. It does not
seem logical to shorten serving
hours under such conditions. This
should not only be faced as a
problem, but faced—period!

Dick Bogue
Calling the defensive signals is
center linebacker Dick Bogue. The
rugged six foot, 175 pound fresh-man
was born in Winthrop Har-bor,
Illinois, the second of three
children. He attended high school
in Zion-Benton Township. His
athletic accomplishments through-out
his high school career have
been numerous. He has had four
years of football and track and one
year of wrestling. He also played
intramural basketball as well as
church league softball and basket-ball.
His other activities included
being treasurer of the lettermen's
club, Hi-C president, and a mem-ber
of the Zion Youth council
which annually sponsored an al-ternate
prom night program. In
addition, Dick has attained star
rank in the Explorer Scouts. Dick
plans to attend Bethel for two
years and then study forestry at
Iowa State.

Same Old
Last Saturday there were touch
football intramurals for the men.
Two teams did not show up for
their game.
Now it seems that since these
intramurals are run solely for the
student body, by the student body,
the least thing the student body
could do is attend.
There are probably many rea-sons
that would be advanced why
"I just couldn't make it." Some
work, some sleep, some study,
some have a sore muscle in the
inner right calf or someplace (not
quite sure where), but it would
seem that each section of the
country could arrange to be rep-resented
by enough men to make
up a side.
Perhaps it would be a good idea
for the captain of each team (if
there isn't such a thing, there
should be) to make sure on Fri-day
that a team will show up at
the proper time the following day.
Fumbles and lack of reserves
just about told the story as James-town
crushed Bethel 13-0 at High-land
field last Friday.
Bethel kicked off to open the
game and Jamestown marched
down to Bethel's 36. On third down
they scored but it was called back
because of a clipping penalty.
Bethel's defense made two tre-mendous
efforts to hold the power-ful
Jamestown attack but Mac-
Donell's two fumbles and another
by Larson gave the Jimmies too
much of an advantage. They scor-ed,
following the third fumble, on
an end sweep.
Late in the second period, Bethel
marched from their five to James-town's
35 but were stopped there.
The march featured fine running
by Wessman and Larson. In fact,
the Royal's running attack out-gained
Jamestown's in the first
The second half was another
story. Our team was a little slug-gish
at first and couldn't move the
ball consistently. The defense held
up a little longer but it was only
a matter of time. The last period
was all Jamestown as they gained
more in the last fifteen minutes
than Bethel did in the whole game.
Jamestown scored their second
touchdown in the fourth period on
a 60-yard play, another end sweep.
As the game ended the Jimmies
were inside the Bethel 20 and
looking for that extra six points.

Had passes intercepted
Why I Came to Bethel
"In this play," the coach was saying to me, "which is a pass if
the wind abateth, you go out and tackle the guy that intercepts." I
grunted and went back to sleep.
I was playing center for a pro football team out East, and I was
sick of it. A meager salary of ten thousand after taxes, and duties of
water boy and towel toter on top of it. I'll admit I was doing a good
job (there's no sense in not facing facts), but I had had enough. I
wanted to go back to a life of complete luxury.
Then I got my chance. A letter from Bethel college signed and
countersigned by dozens of impressive dignitaries, and in it I was
offered center position on the Bethel team. They were willing to give
me room, board, tuition, and three Jaguars. Also they wanted to as-sure
me a twelve dollar an hour job inventorying toothpicks in the
dining hall, but I was adamant. No work. So the deal was worked out.
Forswearing all my pet vices, I signed fifty-seven forms in quad-ruplicate
and was sworn in as a loyal Royal. Then I made an em-barrassing
mistake. I turned out for practice. One of the higher po-tentates
rushed up to me in a state of frenzied stupification. "For-sooth!"
he roared into my ear. "What are you doing ?" I calmed him
and repented.
But now the season has started, and once a week I go out and do
my best for dear old Bethel. Despite temptations in the direction of
Mankato Teachers' wh_o offered me room, board, tuition, and three
and one-half Jaguars in assorted colors, I remain here. But in my
weeks at Bethel, I have come to love this dear old institution of hire
education, and plan to stand out for years to come.

Seven Staffers New
On Bethel Campus
Seven new names can be found on the list of members of the staff
here this year.
Janet Tillquist, the new postmistress, is from St. Paul and attended
Rasmussen's Business college here in the Twin Cities. She particularly
appreciates the Christian atmos-phere
Elizabeth Pander from Volga,
South Dakota, is Mr. Nels Stjern-strom's
new secretary. She is a
freshman and taking a reduced
course. For the past two years
she has been the secretary to the
personnel director of the Minne-apolis
Northwestern National Life
Insurance company.
Coffee shop management is un-der
the direction of Mrs. Violet
Cunningham. Her previous exper-ience
indicates that she is quali-fied.
This summer she was a cook
at Big Trout Lake Bible Camp
and prior to that she was the head
cook in the high school at Prince-ton,
Minnesota, her hometown.
Seminary student, Roger Hed-berg,
is the director of the Stu-dent
Affairs office. He is origin-ally
from Davenport, Iowa, and
was graduated from Bethel in
1948. He will be graduated from
the seminary next June. Rog be-lieves
this is very good experience
and he sincerely hopes that the
unemployment problem will be
much less this year.
In the dining hall, Mrs. A. L.
Fredrikson is experiencing her
first year as cook in Bethel. For
the past four months she was a
cook in a hospital in Ottawa, Kan-sas.
Mrs. Mae A. Christenson, from
Muskegon, Michigan, is the new
housemother in Bodien residence.
She has been employed in the re-tail
department at Sears Roebuck
for the past years. "Ma Chris" is
Missionaries to
Be At First FMF
The first meeting of the Bethel
Foreign Missionary Fellowship
will be held Thursday, October 6,
at 7 p.m. in the dining hall. The
program will include five mis-sionaries
who will each spend some
time with previously divided in-formal
discussion groups. The mis-sionaries
will be Miss Arlene Jen-sen
from Assam, Rev. and Mrs.
Andrew Nelson of the Philippines,
Rev. and Mrs. James Luckman
from Ethiopia, and Miss Leona
Larm from Japan.
The purpose of this meeting will
be to introduce from FMF to the
new students on campus, and to
provide an informal question and
answer period with these returned
Tennis Courts
for the rebuilding. The Simon Oil
company of St. Paul used a hot
mix asphalt heavily oiled. As a
result the courts were too oily for
tennis, and would have softened
in hot weather. The Hennepin
Blacktop company replaced the as-phalt
with Minnesota Mining and
Manufacturing's recently develop-ed
Ramcoat. Hennepin Blacktop
has built over 100 tennis courts in
the Twin Cities, including many
public courts such as those in
Como park.
The blacktopping is scheduled
to be finished today or tomorrow.
After allowing several days for
the material to set, the contractor
will color the courts green on
Monday or Tuesday.

her new position.
Miss Elsa R. Nordin, assistant
librarian, comes to Bethel boast-ing
a full past. Miss Nordin re-ceived
her bachelor's degree from
the University of Minnesota and
then continued studies at New
York State Library school, which
is now an affiliate of Columbia
University. She then took a posi-tion
in the Minnesota Historical
society. However, she left this job
to become head cataloger at Carl-ton
College. She remained there
three years and returned to the
Historical Society to stay as head
cataloger for twenty-seven years.
The end of those years was in
1952 when she retired—and took
a fourteen month tour of Europe
that took her from Sweden to
Switzerland. A librarian at heart,
she took the opportunity to visit
the various libraries in these coun-tries.
Then she came here. But
Bethel is not new to her, for some-time
in that busy past she found
two free years to teach at Bethel
Academy. She replaces Miss Mar-ina
Axeen who is on sabbatical
leave taking advanced studies at
the University of Illinois.

A big skating or tobogganing
party will be held this winter with
the girls asking the fellows. Of

Devotional Life Theme of
Dr. Bob Talk to EdgrenMen
Tips on a well-rounded devotional life was the theme a talk by
Dr. W. Robert Smith, professor of philosophy, given to the men of
Edgren Residence at the first of their monthly meetings last Tuesday
night. Dr. Bob stated that we, as spiritual children, need the same
elements in order to grow as a
physical child needs. The food our
spiritual body requires is the Word
of God, and only by digesting this
can we become as strong spiritual-ly
as a little child becomes on
good physical nourishment. Prayer
is the fresh air God has provided
for our spiritual being. As we
breathe our prayers to God, He
breathes His spirit into us.
Dr. Bob went on to say, "We
exercise our spiritual bodies by
doing His will, and by putting our
trust in Him. We learn to trust
Him by trusting Him, just as we
learn to swim by swimming, learn
to trust an airplane by getting
on, learn to climb stairs by climb-ing."
He then stated that we need an
eternal perspective. He said that
the things our lives are made up
of now—studies, work, everyday
needs—these things will not be
vital to us 200 years from now.
From a book of prayers of ten
used in his own devotions, Dr. Bob
closed his talk with a prayer by
the author, Dr. John Baillie, chap-lain
to the King of England and
professor of divinity at the Uni-versity
of Edinburgh.

ALBUQUERQUE — A USA Indoor Championship meet record went down Sunday, as Olympian Ryan Whiting (Port Matilda, Pa.) etched his name in the record books as competition wrapped up at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
Whiting was second until his fifth throw of the meet, tossing a mark of 22.23m/72-11.25 to become the fifth-best indoor performer in the world all-time and third in the U.S. all-time. Whiting broke USA Track & Field Hall of Famer John Godina's previous mark of 21.83m/71-7.50 (2005).
The men's 60-meter hurdles result was taken to the hundredth, as Omoghan Osaghae (Lubbock, Texas) defended his national title in 7.553, just edging Dominic Berger (Mitchellville, Md.) in 7.556.
On the women's side, it was Nia Ali and Janay DeLoach Soukup who were neck-and-neck in the 60-meter hurdles, with Ali (Philadelphia, Pa.) finishing just ahead of DeLoach Soukup (Ft. Collins, Colo.) in 7.80. Ali and DeLoach Soukup (7.82) are now the fifth and seventh-fastest Americans of all-time.
Teenage phenom Mary Cain (Bronxville, N.Y.) defended her national title in the women's 1,500m, besting the field in 4:07.05. Cain finished nearly three seconds in front of training partner Treniere Moser (Portland, Ore.), who earned the runner-up spot in 4:09.93
Another teenager took home her second straight national championship, as Ajee' Wilson (Neptune, N.J.) was impressive in the women's 800m. Wilson outkicked Chanelle Price (Walnut, Calif.) to take the title in 2:00.43, a new indoor personal best.
There was an upset in the women's pole vault courtesy of Mary Saxer (Lancaster, N.Y..), who dethroned defending champion and indoor world record holder Jenn Suhr (Churchville, N.Y.) to take her first national title. Saxer cleared 4.71m/15-5.50 to capture the U.S. crown, besting Suhr's 4.66m/15-3.50.
Francena McCorory (Hampton, Va.) was virtually unstoppable in the women's 400m, turning in the fastest time in the world this year in 50.85.
In the men's 3,000 meters, Tim Seaman captured his 14th USA Indoor title and fought off a final surge in the last 10 meters by Olympian John Nunn. Seaman announced his retirement prior to the final. After his storied career, he is the most decorated athlete in USATF race walking history.
The men's 1,500m was also down to the wire, as Lopez Lomong (Tully, N.Y.) staved off a strong kick from Will Leer (Santa Monica, Calif.) to take the national championship in 3:43.09 over Leer's 3:43.21.
In celebration of Black History Month, USA Track & Field recognized Hayes Jones and John Carlos, two all-time greats who found their athletic glory in the 1960's — a pivotal decade for civil rights.

Mark McGwire's dismal showing in the Hall of Fame voting was obviously due to his link with steroids. In the NFL, San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman was suspended for four games because of substance abuse, almost certainly steroids, yet nobody seemed to care. And Merriman made the Pro Bowl.
On the surface, this difference in attitude towards steroids use in the two sports makes no sense.
If anything, steroids use is more important in football — for linemen, on either side of the ball, and linebackers because strength is so important.
The importance of steroids use in baseball is more problematic. It didn't help either Marvin Benard or Alex Sanchez.
But there's an emotional issue that is important, because fans view the two sports differently. Many of them formed a mythical view of baseball when they were 12, and they don't want to let go of that view.
It isn't just fans, either. I had a couple of conversations near the end of last year with two reporters whom I respect thatreminded me how fiercely many in the media hang on to this mythical view, especially when the subject is Barry Bonds.
A radio sportscaster at a Big Game press luncheon told me Bonds should not be in the Hall of Fame because he "desecrated" the sport.
Desecrated? Baseball is a game, a form of entertainment, a business. It is not a religion — but clearly, to this man, it is.
The second conversation was with a female sportswriter at the Fox Sports Bay Area Christmas party. I noted that Bonds had had a Hall of Fame career before 2000. "But then, he cheated," the sportswriter said.
Cheated? Baseball has long supported a culture of cheating. Gaylord Perry is in the Hall of Fame because he used an illegal pitch, the spitter, and admitted it in a book on his career. I saw Perry at the start of his career with the Giants and he was probably no more than a year from washing out of the game before Bob Shaw taught him how to throw the spitter.
There are other pitchers from the post-World War II era who were believed to have thrown spitters or other illegal pitches, including another Hall of Famer, Whitey Ford.
There are hitters, most recently Sammy Sosa, who have been caught using corked bats. Sign-stealing has been an admired skill over the decades; there is one story that Bobby Thomson was tipped off before he hit the home run that won the 1951 playoff for the New York Giants. Groundskeepers have altered the diamond, slanting the basepaths one direction or another to either help bunts by their team to stay fair or encourage those by the other team to go foul.
Yet, even with this evidence from the past, those who want to hold on to the mythical image of a pure game are enraged by steroid use. (Even though there are many other factors involved in the power surge, including new, hitter-friendly parks and expansion.) A report the other day said the 1998 baseballs, which McGwire hit for athen-record 70 home runs, were juiced.
But, to those clinging to the mythical image, it is all about steroids.
As for me, I will vote for Barry Bonds for the Hall of Fame, because he is emphatically deserving.
I'm no longer 12 years old.

Letters to the Editor - June 27, 2011
- Written by Readers
Educating our local area is my focus and rule in life. When I am faced with the most painful reminders and memories of the death of my beautiful son, I'm compelled to say something. Accidents happen. Each year (around the 4th of July) we hear about fires, injuries, burns, lost pets, noise, garbage, allergies, costs of rebuilding homes and people sent to emergency rooms — not knowing they died weeks or months later from injuries.
Shane Lynch, age 13, died from legal fireworks. My son sustained extensive injuries including a shattered forehead. His skull was cracked in half; Ninety percent of his brain was burned.
If only knowledge had been shared, Shane might still be here.
Dynamite is safer than flash powder. Flash powder can ignite from STATIC ELECTRICITY. Many fireworks are made from flash powder.
I organize school assemblies to save lives with several agencies. Children are important and require guidance and protection.
Encourage public fireworks display shows. Help keep the county safe.
Writing an obituary and deciding on cremation or casket are not decisions you want to face over the 4th of July!
Donate blood at the Puget Sound blood Center in Everett on Oaks Avenue to help others.
Glenda Lynch, Snohomish

The Feiss Story
In the Bronx during WWII, Rose Feiss started to sew custom lampshades to keep herself busy and her mind off the fact that her son, Murray, was off serving in the Navy. Murray came back home safe and sound, however, and saw a profitable business in his mother's lampshades. He put porcelain bases and fittings together with these lampshades, and Murray Feiss lighting was born.
Now three generations in, Feiss lighting has expanded into a wide range of suspensions, wall sconces, bath bars and even some outdoor lighting fixtures.
Why We Love Feiss Lighting
The Feiss motto is "pride in the past and commitment to the future." The former can be seen in the authentic period details of their opulent traditional designs as well as their more modern transitional styles. The latter they show in the increased use of energy efficient (Energy Star Qualified) technologies. The Feiss in-house design team includes industrial, graphic and interior designers, ensuring the quality of the style itself and the enduring structural quality of Murray Feiss home lighting.
A Fun Fact About Feiss
Cementing its reputation as a quality fashion lighting manufacturer, Feiss lighting is the exclusive producer of the Bob Mackie Home Lighting collection, as well as the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's Pure Simple Today collection. After merging in 2012, Feiss is now a sister company to Monte Carlo Fans.

With the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana and marijuana-infused foods and beverages in Washington state this week, and the development of a commercial marijuana market over the next year, parents are asking what they should say to their children.
Since parents are the primary influence on adolescent behavior, even if it may not seem that way, it is important to discuss the new law and what is expected in your family. High school students who smoke marijuana report that they started between the ages of 13 -14 so conversations need to start early.
First, ask children what they know about marijuana. This is a good time to correct the many myths about marijuana. For example, many teenagers tell us that marijuana cures cancer. This is not true.
Then move on to the facts.
- Most Seattle high school students do not use marijuana. Seventy percent of Seattle high school seniors report that they do not use marijuana, according to the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey. What this means is that everyone is not doing it.
- Among high school students, the perception of risk associated with marijuana use has decreased and use rates have increased over the past several years. In fact, marijuana is risky for adolescents to use. In our Adolescent Substance Abuse Program, I regularly see teenagers who use marijuana several times per week and find that they cannot cut down their use despite the problems it causes at home and at school. These are teenagers who are giving up things that have been important to them and spending a great deal of time obtaining marijuana and recovering from its effects. Adolescents enter substance abuse treatment for marijuana problems more than any other drug problem, including alcohol.
- The still-developing adolescent brain is harmed by regular marijuana use. Regular marijuana use among teens is associated with school failure. Avoiding marijuana is a good idea if students want to do well in school.
More science-based facts about marijuana use are available at: http://www.drugabuse.gov/drugs-abuse/marijuana.
Engage in a family discussion about all drugs, including marijuana.
- Set family rules about drug and alcohol use.
- Agree on appropriate consequences if youth use drugs and write them down. Examples include losing driving or cell phone privileges. The most difficult part may be enforcing those consequences so make sure that you are willing and able to carry them out if needed.
- It's essential for parents to keep lines of communication open with their children throughout the teen years. Know where they are going to be and with whom.
More tips for parents are available at: http://theparenttoolkit.org/.
Finally, remember that you are the most important role model for your children. If you use marijuana, or plan to start once marijuana shops open, think about how your use affects your children. You may not realize it, but your children watch you closely. Have a discussion among your adult friends and family about the acceptability of using marijuana during gatherings at your homes. If adults eat marijuana brownies at parties where children are present, make sure they are only accessible to adults. Just like parents are encouraged to lock up alcohol and medications, parents should lock up their pot. Needless to say, parents should never drive while under the influence of marijuana or any other substance.
Parents and teens are not alone when it comes to preventing youth marijuana use. New laws that are meant to keep marijuana out of the hands of youth should be enforced. Schools have zero-tolerance policies. Healthcare providers talk to teenage patients about avoiding drugs. Everyone has a role to play in keeping our children drug-free. Additional local information is available at the ADAI Clearinghouse: http://adaiclearinghouse.org.
If you think that your teenager may be using marijuana or other drugs, information about local resources is available at the Washington Recovery Help Line, a 24-hour service, at 866.789.1511 or http://www.warecoveryhelpline.org/

After the passage of the Senate bill on immigration reform, which may or may not die in the House, I went back and reread some of my immigration columns from 2006 and 2007, when the last big bill came up. What is striking to me is that the basic facts and arguments haven't really changed. What was pertinent then is pertinent now, especially in terms of the larger forces at play.
In April 2006, a look at the facts of immigration.
In November 2006, a survey of the immigration picture and some pushback against the Bush administration's bill.
In May 2007, more on the Bush immigration bill, and an answer to the charge that those who oppose it support deportation.:
Here is the truth: America has never deported millions of people, and America will never deport millions of people. It's not what we do. It's not who we are. It's not who we want to be. The American people would never accept evening news pictures of sobbing immigrants being torn from their homes and put on a bus. We wouldn't accept it because we have hearts, and as much as we try to see history in the abstract, we know history comes down to the particular, to the sobbing child in the bus. We don't round up and remove. Nor should we, tomorrow, on one of our whims, grant full legal status and a Cadillac car. We take it a day at a time. We wait and see what's happening. We do the small discrete things a nation can do to make the overall situation better. For instance: "You commit a violent crime? You are so out of here." And, "Here, let me help you learn English."
Let's take time and find out if the immigrants who are here see their wages click up and new benefits kick in as the endless pool stops expanding. It would be good to see them gain. Let's find out if it's true that Americans won't stoop to any of the jobs illegals do. I don't think it is. Years ago I worked in a florist shop removing the thorns from roses. It was painful work and I was happy to do it, and I am very American. I was a badly paid waitress in the Holiday Inn on Route 3 in New Jersey.
The young will do a great deal, and not only the young. The dislike for Americans evinced by the Americans-won't-do-hard-work crowd is, simply, astonishing, and shameful. It says more about the soft and ignorant lives they lived in Kennebunkport and Greenwich than it does about the American people.
In June 2007, an assault on the Bush administration's bill, coupled with an argument for breaking immigration legislation down into a series of smaller bills, in part because no one will trust Washington with anything comprehensive. This was on target:
I suspect the White House and its allies have turned to name calling because they're defensive, and they're defensive because they know they have produced a big and indecipherable mess of a bill—one that is literally bigger than the Bible, though as someone noted last week, at least we actually had a few years to read the Bible. The White House and its supporters seem to be marshalling not facts but only sentiments, and self-aggrandizing ones at that. They make a call to emotions—this is, always and on every issue, the administration's default position—but not, I think, to seriously influence the debate.
They are trying to lay down markers for history. Having lost the support of most of the country, they are looking to another horizon. The story they would like written in the future is this: Faced with the gathering forces of ethnocentric darkness, a hardy and heroic crew stood firm and held high a candle in the wind. It will make a good chapter. Would that it were true!
If they'd really wanted to help, as opposed to braying about their own wonderfulness, they would have created not one big bill but a series of smaller bills, each of which would do one big clear thing, the first being to close the border. Once that was done — actually and believably done — the country could relax in the knowledge that the situation was finally not day by day getting worse. They could feel some confidence. And in that confidence real progress could begin.
A piece on the modern immigrant experience.
I'll throw in a column from three years ago. In May 2010, I looked at the logic of certain states' attempts to control the border, in the absence of a credible federal commitment. This is still acutely true:
Every state and region has its own facts and experience. In New York, legal and illegal immigrants keep the city running: They work hard jobs with brutal hours, rip off no one on Wall Street, and do not crash the economy. They are generally considered among the good guys. I'm not sure New Yorkers can fairly judge the situation in Arizona, nor Arizonans the situation in New York.
But the larger point is that Arizona is moving forward because the government in Washington has completely abdicated its responsibility. For 10 years—at least—through two administrations, Washington deliberately did nothing to ease the crisis on the borders because politicians calculated that an air of mounting crisis would spur mounting support for what Washington thought was appropriate reform—i.e., reform that would help the Democratic and Republican parties.
Both parties resemble Gordon Brown, who is about to lose the prime ministership of Britain. On the campaign trail this week, he was famously questioned by a party voter about his stand on immigration. He gave her the verbal runaround, all boilerplate and shrugs, and later complained to an aide, on an open mic, that he'd been forced into conversation with that "bigoted woman."
He really thought she was a bigot. Because she asked about immigration. Which is, to him, a sign of at least latent racism.
The establishments of the American political parties, and the media, are full of people who think concern about illegal immigration is a mark of racism. If you were Freud you might say, "How odd that's where their minds so quickly go, how strange they're so eager to point an accusing finger. Could they be projecting onto others their own, heavily defended-against inner emotions?" But let's not do Freud, he's too interesting. Maybe they're just smug and sanctimonious.
The American president has the power to control America's borders if he wants to, but George W. Bush and Barack Obama did not and do not want to, and for the same reason, and we all know what it is. The fastest-growing demographic in America is the Hispanic vote, and if either party cracks down on illegal immigration, it risks losing that vote for generations.
But while the Democrats worry about the prospects of the Democrats and the Republicans about the well-being of the Republicans, who worries about America?
No one. Which the American people have noticed, and which adds to the dangerous alienation—actually it's at the heart of the alienation—of the age.
In the past four years, I have argued in this space that nothing can or should be done, no new federal law passed, until the border itself is secure. That is the predicate, the common sense first step. Once existing laws are enforced and the border made peaceful, everyone in the country will be able to breathe easier and consider, without an air of clamor and crisis, what should be done next. What might that be? How about relax, see where we are, and absorb. Pass a small, clear law—say, one granting citizenship to all who serve two years in the armed forces—and then go have a Coke. Not everything has to be settled right away. Only controlling the border has to be settled right away.
Instead, our national establishments deliberately allow the crisis to grow and fester, ignoring public unrest and amusing themselves by damning anyone's attempt to deal with the problem they fear to address.
Why does the federal government do this? Because so many within it are stupid and unimaginative and don't trust the American people. Which of course the American people have noticed.
If the federal government and our political parties were imaginative, they would understand that it is actually in their interests to restore peace and order to the border. It would be a way of demonstrating that our government is still capable of functioning, that it is still to some degree connected to the people's will, that it has the broader interests of the country in mind.
The American people fear they are losing their place and authority in the daily, unwinding drama of American history. They feel increasingly alienated from their government. And alienation, again, is often followed by deep animosity, and animosity by the breaking up of things. If our leaders were farsighted not only for themselves but for the country, they would fix the border.

When it comes to fire pumps, there's more to designing and installing these units than meets the eye. As projects become larger and more complex, such as those found in campus settings, installation requirements vary and design options increase, which often leads to confusion on the electrical design front. Therefore, it's important to turn to more than Art. 695 of the NEC for guidance — there are other codes, standards, and local regulations you must become familiar with when doing this type of work. Let's start from the beginning, outlining the requirements associated with various fire pump installations.
You receive notification that a particular project requires a fire pump. Although there are other possibilities, you will have one of three basic scenarios to address. The fire pump is going to be fed from:
a single utility service point (the simplest).
a single utility service point and an onsite generator. For example, the International Building Code (Sec. 403.10.1.3) requires this arrangement in a high-rise building (more than 75 feet tall). Another situation could be that the height of the building may be beyond the pumping capacity of the local fire department. In this case, you must follow the rules of NFPA 20, "Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection," in Chapter 9, Sec. 3.1. Another example is simply that the owner requested this arrangement.
dual feeder sources (where one of the sources may or may not be a generator). This would include a campus setting or a multi-building application and fall under the requirements of NEC Sec. 695.3.
Single utility service point
Let's begin with a review of the situation where you have one building, one fire pump, and one power source (from the utility). The major issue is that you will need to run a dedicated feeder from the service transformer (just after the metering equipment) to the fire pump. NEC 695.3 (A)(1) prevents you from coming off of the main service equipment.
If your feeder is before the metering equipment, the utility will install a second set of meters on it. Initially, this is not a big deal. The owner simply has to pay an additional monthly meter charge. However, add the utility's demand charges for a pump that is usually only operated once per month (for testing), and those ongoing charges become costly. On the other hand, demand charges for testing fire pumps are typically nonexistent for a proper installation because the pump is run during the owner's off-peak hours.
Route the wiring outside the building, similar to service entrance conductors. The installation must follow the requirements of NEC 230.6, which calls for you to either place the conductors below 2 inches of concrete, encase conduit in 2 inches of concrete, or route them in conduit 18 inches below the soil. Size the conductors similar to other motor loads (i.e., follow the requirements of 430.22). Size them for 125% of the motor's full load amps (FLAs). If these cable lengths are long, make sure you check the voltage drop on the circuit. Per the NEC and NFPA 20, 9.4.1, the voltage shall not drop more than 15% under motor starting conditions. If it does, you'll need to increase the conductor size to resolve the issue.
You should locate the pump in an isolated room protected from the rest of the building spaces — and not in the same room as the main electrical distribution center. The pump controller will include a safety disconnect switch. Per NEC 695.12, this has to be located in the same room and within sight of the pump. There is no need to include overcurrent protection devices (OCPDs). In the event of a fire, it's better to let the pump run (even overload or destroy itself) than have an OCPD open and prevent the pump from doing its job (supplying water to extinguish the fire).
If you follow NFPA 20, "Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection," then you'll want to install emergency lighting in the pump room per Sec. 5.12.4 and remote monitoring per Sec. 10.4.7.1. Even if it's not required, a monitoring system is a sound idea. Installing sensors on equipment and wiring them to either the fire alarm system or building automation system can accomplish the monitoring. Items to monitor include: pump running status, loss of phase power, phase reversal, and if controls have switched over to alternate power source (the next example).
A good way to accomplish this is to use the fire alarm or building automation systems, which you're already designing into the project. Connect these monitoring points to the fire alarm panel. A "pump running" signal can be programmed and designated as either an alarm or supervisory signal; other monitored points, such as "phase loss" or "disconnect switch open" must be designated as a supervisory signal per NFPA 72, 188.8.131.52. Provisions will also be needed for a telephone in the pump room, per NFPA 72, 22.214.171.124.
Single utility service point and onsite generator
This project requires design of an onsite generator(s) sized for the fire pump's alternate power source. All the requirements of NFPA 110, "Standard for Emergency and Standby Power System," should be met in designing and sizing the generator system. The generator(s) must be sized to start and run the fire pump, along with any additional loads connected to it. As per NEC 695.3(B)(1), it does not need to have the capacity to handle the pump's locked rotor current. Nor does the tap for the generator feeder have to be located ahead of its disconnecting means. The generator does have to have enough fuel capacity to provide eight hours of operation at 100% of the pump's rated load (NFPA 20, 126.96.36.199). The transfer of power (from normal to standby and vice versa) needs to take place within sight of the fire pump (NFPA 20, 9.6.4 and NEC 695.12(A), which means the transfer switch needs to be located in the same room as the pump.
As with the first example, it's best to specify a packaged unit. In this case, a combination automatic transfer switch, disconnect switch, and fire pump controller is the best choice. You'll also need to route two feeders to the fire pump room. Exercise care with the routing, and be sure the cables are properly protected to ensure a successful installation, just as you did in the first example.
Dual feeder sources
This is probably one of the most difficult arrangements you'll run across. In this example, the project is a campus environment (i.e., college, medical center, or industrial complex), consisting of multiple buildings with a centralized power distribution system. This scenario falls under the requirements of NEC 695.3(B)(2) with two or more feeder sources supplying power to the pump(s). These sources could be separately derived utility services or a combination of a utility service source and a campus generator bank.
In this situation, you must deal with two additional items: 1) A disconnect switch will most likely be needed, along with an OCPD (somewhere on the feeder or feeders); and 2) Fire-rated cables will need to be specified because you'll most likely be unable to bury the cables as noted in the previous examples. If you are able to route the cables in the concrete slab or underground, then follow the requirements previously mentioned.
Locate the OCPD in an electrical room, preferably in a vault with 3-hour rated protection. Size it to carry the locked rotor current of the fire pump, as per NEC 695.4(B)(1). You must obtain the locked rotor current directly from the motor's nameplate or from NEC Table 430.251(B) based on the motor's design letter. This current can be five to six times the motor's full load amps rating.
For example, a 100-hp motor's full load amps rating may be 124A, while its locked rotor amps rating is 725A. In this example, sizing upward to the next largest standard size OCPD requires an 800A overcurrent protection device. Remember, equipment ground-fault protection is never required for fire pumps, even when the OCPD is rated 1,000A or higher. However, you must meet other requirements of NEC 695.4(B)(2) through (5), such as the OCPD must be listed suitable for service use and be remotely located from other distribution equipment; it must be lockable in the closed position; the disconnecting means shall have an identification placard with 1-inch height letter reading "Fire Pump Disconnecting Means;" the pump controller needs to also have a placard stating the location of the disconnecting means and location of the key, if it is locked. Following the requirements of NFPA 20, 9.2.2(4)(e), this OCPD must also be selectively coordinated with any other supply site OCPD, which means it must trip first under a fault condition.
In reference to the conductors, except in the electrical and fire pump rooms, you're required to follow the requirements outlined in NEC 695.6(B). Due to cost and infeasibility, chances are you would not want to enclose the conductors in 2 inches of concrete. One option is to specify MI cable, with its 1-hour or more fire rating and rated equipment grounding sheath. However, MI cable is expensive, difficult to work with, only comes as single conductors in the sizes you will need, and the outer copper sheath and grounding conductor may not be rated for the OCPD sized in the previous paragraph.
For example, per NEC Table 250.122, an 800A OCPD requires the use of a 1/0 copper grounding conductor, or equivalent. If the MI cable outer sheath is not equivalent to this, then what? An alternative is to specifying fire-rated MC 3-conductor cable, which is less costly, easier to install, and the outer metal sheath equivalent grounding conductor, in most cases, is equal to the inner current-carrying conductors. For example, the grounding conductor rating of 2/0 MC 3-conductor cable is 3/0 AWG, which is good for up to an 1,000A OCPD.
There are certainly other scenarios and twists that will require further engineering, but these examples cover many of the situations you'll typically encounter when designing an electrical system for a fire pump installation. The most important thing to remember is always verify your design with all applicable state and local codes, as well coordinate your efforts with your local authority having jurisdiction.

Selfless Doctor Walks the Streets Every Night to Help the Homeless
It's been two decades since Dr. Jim Withers first coined the term "street medicine," and he is still out there practicing what he preaches.
Withers believes that "the best way to care for the homeless is to treat them where they live."
Rather than wait for the homeless to come to him — something Withers knows many are unlikely to even consider doing — he decided to hit the streets of his hometown of Pittsburgh and find them.
With a backpack full of remedies and the help of outreach workers and a crew of medical students, Dr. Withers continues his mission of making homeless "house calls" to this day.

This summer, I'm giving myself a crash course in preserving the harvest. I'm grabbing up fresh produce whenever I can and am trying my best to preserve the spoils of summer. There is so much goodness to be had, and I want to do everything I can to make sure I can enjoy this summer produce throughout the rest of the year.
That being said, this past week I found myself with five pounds of fresh, local green beans. I happily devoured a bunch of the green beans, of course (steamed, pan fried with brown butter, tossed in this incredible potato salad), but I knew I wanted to save a good portion of them for mid-winter eating. Because, the sad reality is that green beans don't grow all year round (at least, they don't in Oregon). And since I've made a commitment to do my best to eat seasonally and locally, green beans aren't something I tend to eat in the winter months. The good news is, however, that I can preserve some of the harvest so that I have a few green beans to snack on all year long.
I decided to go about preserving the green beans in two different ways.
First, I froze a bunch of them. This takes little to no time, and is a fantastic way to preserve this particular veggie. Essentially, all you have to do is quickly blanch the green beans in boiling water, rinse them with cold water, pat dry, and separate them into various ziplock baggies for freezing (For a full post & instructions on freezing green beans, see this tutorial). Frozen green beans are great additions soups, stews, stir fry, curries and more. I'm sure that frozen green beans could even be used for the infamous Thanksgiving side dish, green bean casserole. :)
Secondly, I made a big batch of pickled green beans. I came across this lovely recipe for pickled green beans with lemon and rosemary. The recipe was simple, the flavors sounded perfect, and so I made (and canned) a big batch of them. I have to wait 3 weeks until I open the pickled green beans, so I can't actually tell you how they taste yet…but I will say that they look fantastic! And I can't imagine that the combination of green beans, lemon, garlic, and rosemary would be bad. In fact, I'm quite positive that these green beans will be nothing short of amazing.
I am pleased to say that after my preserving efforts, I have 4 pints of pickled green beans and 3 freezer bags full of green beans. Neither method took much time or effort, and now I have a stash of green beans to get me through the winter. Green beans are one of my favorite summer veggies, and I feel a sense of accomplishment knowing that I'll have some to carry me through the winter.
If you're interested in preserving some of your summer bounty, please see this fantastic website, which has over 85 different recipes for canning and preserving all sorts of different fruits and vegetables. .
Pickled Green Beans with Rosemary and Lemon
(Adapted from Urban Spork)
Note: While I normally like to write my own recipes, I am still learning all the tricks of canning and pickling and so I stuck close to the original recipe.
4 pint sized jars with lids, sterilized
2 pounds green beans
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 large cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped (or 8 small cloves)
8 small strips of lemon peel
2 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups white wine vinegar (could use plain white vinegar as well)
3 Tablespoons pickling salt
2 Tablespoons sugar
Trim the ends of the green beans to fit inside the jars. Pack the green beans into the four jars and evenly divide garlic, lemon peels and rosemary among the jars.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot (canning or stock pot) of water to a boil.
In a medium pot, combine the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2-4 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Ladle the vinegar mixture into the jars, leaving a half inch of room at the top. Wipe the rims with a clean cloth, affix the lids and seals, and seal tightly. Process the jars in a hot water bath for 15 minutes. Carefully remove with tongs and set aside to cool. Let sit in a cool, dark place for at least 3 weeks before opening.

Since 2007, Mark Kirk has made a big deal out of his opposition to BP's plans to increase the pollution from its Whiting, IN refinery as part of a plan to switch to a dirtier source of oil - Canadian tar sands.
Most recently, he touted his "stopping" and "beating" BP twice in Wednesday's debate with Alexi Giannoulias.
There's no question Congressman Kirk joined many other leaders, including Senator Durbin, Mayor Daley, Pat Quinn, then-Congressman Rahm Emmanuel, and many others who joined Sierra Club and the environmental community in protesting BPs proposal to increase pollution. To be fair, Kirk certainly didn't go soft on the rhetoric. Here he is from the House floor in 2007:
"We cannot allow new dumping by BP. Later today we will meet with the head of BP North America, and given the legislative tsunami we are preparing, we should simply be discussing BP's terms of surrender on their lake-dumping plan. BP, millions spent in the 'Beyond Petroleum' campaign, but we know it stands for 'Bad Polluter.' Hopefully, BP will back down and be a better partner in protecting Lake Michigan."To hear Kirk tell it, you'd think he won that battle, and Lake Michigan is safe from the pollution we all protested. You'd be wrong.
Trouble is, nobody stopped BP. Indiana went right ahead and issued BP the permit for the increased pollution. All the protests, including those from Kirk, did net a verbal commitment from BP that they would "review" whether it "could" avoid more pollution; but Indiana's decision to allow the pollution was not reversed. BP was not "beat" or "stopped." They refused to relinquish the permit, and Indiana maintains that the permit, which Kirk called "their lake-dumping plan" is valid. When BP's conversion to dirty "tar sands" oil is complete in 2012, they will be within their right to dump all the pollution we all fought back in 2007.
Kirk apparently reads history a little differently. His campaign website says:
"Fact: Mark Kirk stood up to Big Oil when he stopped BP from polluting Lake Michigan."
In a press release from is Congressional office October 17, 2009,:
'Two years ago, we scored a major victory after BP agreed to back down from its plan to dump more ammonia and industrial sludge into Lake Michigan,' Congressman Mark Kirk said.On February 2nd, his campaign put out a press release including:
"In Congress, Kirk stopped BP's plan to pollute Lake Michigan"In May, Mark Kirk approved this campaign commercial, entitled "Distract", that claims "Stopping British Petroleum's pollution of Lake Michigan..." as an accomplishment. Watch:
Then, June 2nd on Springfield talk radio, Kirk asserted:
"We were successful in stopping that plan because it would have been the first new dumper in the great lakes in 10 years and that's the source of 95% of North America's fresh water and where 30 million people pull their drinking water from."On July 6th, Kirk said at a press conference:
"Let's be clear on what we fought and what we won on. We beat a new IDEM permit."No one that I've talked to involved in the case has any idea what Kirk is referring to with that $20 million figure. In fact, there is no evidence that BP has changed their "lake dumping plan" at all.
Q: Didn't they actually issue the permit?
"They absolutely did."
Q: Has it been cancelled?
"I don't think it has."
Q: How can you say you beat it?
"We beat it because BP then decided to build a water treatment plant, adding over $20 million in cost to their Whiting facility."
If Kirk's recollection of the past seems off, it's even less clear where he stands on BP's Lake Michigan pollution proposal now. In fact, he seems to actually support BP's move to dirtier gas at Whiting:
"No one argues against the need to expand production capability at the Whiting facility, but there should be zero tolerance for releasing deadly poisons into our air and water.'" Crain's Chicago Business, 6/4/09Tar sands oil is dirty from start to finish - it takes more energy to extract, uses more water and creates more pollution to refine into gasoline, and is dirtier when we burn it in our cars. That makes Kirk's support for tar sands and apparent opposition to BP's pollution irreconcilable.
It also makes this particular verbal assault on BP quite ironic:
"I think BP now stands for bad polluter...They need to be called out on their corporate hypocrisy." Daily Herald, 7/20/07I agree with Kirk that those who talk a good game on the environment, even if the facts don't back it up, "need to be called out." It's time for Mark Kirk to stop exaggerating, and be honest with the public about the risks still facing our Great Lake, and about the incomplete nature of the "victory" he is so very proud of.

A Westchester man faces an "uncertain future" after being hospitalized in New Orleans when a drunk driver sped his truck into a Mardi Gras parade crowd, gravely injuring him.
According to a nola.com report , 38-year-old Mario Basantes of Yonkers was among the 24 people hospitalized on Feb. 25, when Neilson Rizzuto drove drunk into a crowd of people celebrating the Endymion parade in New Orleans.
Basantes suffered several fractures, lacerations and internal injuries that have left him unable to walk and put him in state of constant pain, the report says. Since being struck, he has been in and out of consciousness and may be stuck in New Orleans for more than six months as he recovers.
The injuries the Basantes suffered include a broken pelvis, separated shoulder, lacerated liver, a massive hematoma on his head and a damaged bladder that has caused internal bleeding. According to nola.com , he also suffered damage to his back that they "will deal with later."
The report states that Basantes' health insurance doesn't cover him outside of the state, and he won't be able to travel until September. The family now may be in danger of losing their jobs and Yonkers apartment as medical bills continue to pile up, with no relief in sight.
In response, friends and family have set up a GoFundMe fundraising page to raise money for the Basantes family . As of Friday, March 17, nearly $7,000 of the stated $50,000 goal had been raised. Donations are also being accepted by the New Orleans Musicians Clinic and Assistance Foundation to help Basantes and another friend that was injured by the drunk driver.

White Papers and Application Notes
Effect of Conductivity and Viscosity in the Velocity Characteristics of a Fluid Flow Induced by Nonuniform AC Electric Field in Electrolytes on MicroelectrodesP. Parikh[1], A. Sethi[1], S. Benedict[1], D. N. Prasad[1], B. Mallik[2], S. Kapur[1], S. Deb[1], S. Banerjee[1]

Electrokinetic transport of fluids has been investigated both experimentally and numerically due to its various applications in microfluidic devices [1-5]. These devices offer the advantage of transporting fluids or particles to specific locations without the aid of mechanical components. The device by Green et al consists of a symmetric arrangement of CPE subjected to an AC potential [6-8]. The electrosmotic velocity shows a maxima as the frequency of the applied potential varies from 1 Hz to 10 kHz which is within the approximation of a planar structure for electric double layer. However, it is plausible that at higher frequencies interplay of various forces as well as the finite size of the ions would lead to a deviation from the simplification adopted in most theoretical models. In the present study, the frequency range was extended to 80 kHz and a second peak, however smaller by an order of magnitude, was observed at higher frequencies indicating deviation from the linear model. The effect of changes in conductivity and viscosity of the electrolyte was also studied. Polarization of the electrodes attracts ions of opposite charge forming a thin mobile layer of ions on the surface. The system can be modeled as a linear RC circuit in series. The system was solved in two steps, one for the electric potential using the electric current interface and secondly for the fluid flow using the laminar flow interface. The electrolyte KCl was taken to have a conductivity of 2.1 × 10-3 S/m and viscosity of .001 Pa-s [6]. The schematic of the system is shown in Figure 1. Fluid velocities of the order of 50µms-1 were observed. The plot of the velocity magnitude as a function of frequency of the applied potential is shown in Figure 2a. A second peak in the velocity spectrum occurring at higher frequencies is clearly visible in Figure 2b beyond 8.5 µm from the electrode edge (x = 21 µm). It is also to be noted that the frequency dependence of the peak velocity at the two peaks is opposite in nature. The graphs in Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the dependence of peak velocity on conductivity and viscosity of medium respectively. The patterns indicate dependence of peak frequency on the conductivity of the system in the chosen frequency range. A symmetric CPE geometry filled with an electrolyte was subjected to an alternating potential. Presence of the second peak indicates deviation from the linear model at higher frequencies. A second peak is observed in the velocity spectrum at a higher frequency even with changes in the conductivity of the electrolyte. The observations show a dispersive behavior of the peak velocity with respect to conductivity but not with viscosity.

Every year, I become distraught due to the condition of the roads that I travel daily. They begin to look like a landfill. In particularly Swepsonville/Saxapahaw Road (and the connecting roads) that lead to the landfill. I feel that some of the litter can be attributed to improperly secured waste being transported to the landfill. What is even more distressing is that the citizens of our area are deliberately trashing our communities. I know this because some places always have new bags of garbage weekly.
I don�t know how or why we continue to see this behavior! Is it because we are not informed of our responsibility as caretakers of the earth?
During the late 1950�s and �60s much effort was demonstrated to conservation and preservation. I doubt people of that era are a part of the current problem. What is the inherent problem here? Is it a lack of parental guidance to the younger generation?
Is it that people don�t care that littering is a disgrace to our community? Do we need to re-emphasize the law concerning littering by posting signs with the fines? Do we need more laws? I don�t think so! What do you think?
If the people who litter would be required to pick up trash along our highways for a few days, it could have a positive effect on and possibly improve the situation.
It is not the responsibility of our correctional institution volunteers, though we do greatly appreciate the help, to pick up after careless and disrespectful people.
What can we do? Could training at home, school, church, etc. be helpful? What do you think Alamance County? If ignored, it can only get worse.

I also like this book because it is part of a series, and in each book there is a mystery you have to figure out. My favorite part was when Ruth Rose says to Josh, "Josh, I will buy you a hotdog if you dress up as a penguin."
I recommend this book to people who like mysteries. I think Ron Roy is a great writer because he brings joy into his characters. Anyone who likes A to Z Mysteries should read this book. When I first started reading it I thought something bad was going to happen.
