'41 Spire
Book Dedicated to
Pres. G. Arvid Hagstrom
Appointing the SPIRE1 staff, se-curing
bids on printing, engraving,
and binding, and planning the fi-nancial
success of the 1941 year-book
are part of the work already
accomplished by Lemuel Petersen
and Mary Ann Liljenstrom, editor
and business manager respectively
of the SPIRE.
Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, presi-dent,
will be honored by the
publication. The book will not
only be dedicated to him, but
it will also contain a biography
and appreciation of his life
ministry, according to Peter-sen.
There will also be several
pictures of him in current and
past poses.
Subscriptions from the students
will be secured in a campaign be-ginning
Monday, October 7. Miss
Liljenstrom will appoint 10 cap-tains
to assist in this work. The
campaign will continue for two
weeks. The price is $1 for the stu-dents
and $1.50 for all others.
In order to balance the budg-et,
300 books must be sold out-side
of the school. The stu-dents
will be organized into 10
teams with an average goal of
three subscriptions for each
student. The advance campaign
will begin on Monday, October
21, and continue until Friday,
December 6.

"Gallup-poll" gag—
Produces 3 Suckers
By SCOOP
"A sucker is' born every four sec-onds,"
according to P. T. Barnum
of circus fame. That tradition
must hold good at Bethel.
Three suckers were produc-ed
from the Bethel student
body last Tuesday evening.
Everyone knows that Cliff
Bjorklund bit on the "Gallup-poll"
gag. But here's news—
HOAX. The explanation of this
is hilariously embarrassing.
Gordon Nelson and Archie John-son
spent an uproarious evening
on the telephone as representa-tives
of the "Gallup poll." Their
first sucker was Bob Paulson, who
recommended Gordy Pete. These
fellows in turn thought that it
would be a great idea to fool some-one—
so, they called Cliff at 11:15

What is a school without a school
We lack school spirit! What's
more, we won't have enthusiasm at
our athletic games! And we don't
have a song to carry away with us
as a part of our Bethel memories.
To overcome this deplorable
state of affairs, the CLARION
staff is announcing that it will
sponsor a song-writing contest.
Within the next month, Bethel
poets and poetesses will have a
chance to make a permanent
contribution to the Bethel heri-tage.
Authority to build a Girl's Dor-mitory
on the corner of Arlington
and Arona Avenues has been given
to the Conference Board—when it
sees that the project can be car-ried
through—by the Swedish Bap-tist
General conference at the con-vention
held at Rockford, Illinois,
this Summer. It is hoped that the
ground-breaking ceremony will take
place next Spring as soon as the
weather permits.
H. Wyman Malmsten, Bethel
representative, reports that of
the $40,000 necessary to build
the dormitory, over $33,000 has
been raised in cash and pledg-es.
Approximately half of this
amount is available in cash.
The Bethel Institute Women's
federation is planning a Swedish
Smorgasbord, on October 11, in or-der
to contribute to furnishing the
dormitory and also to donate chairs
to the Boarding club and the Cof-fee
—Now Open to Poets
All that is required is that each
writer submit words which could
fittingly be used for a Bethel
school song. This song will be
used at basketball games, school
events, and alumni meetings. Prof.
George Hultgren, in a similar con-test
conducted previously, promised
to compose the music for such a

HOBBY HORSE edito/ded ea.ti I MEDITATIONS
By CAROLINE DILGARD
Hobbies afford one much pleas-ure
and profit if pursued consist-ently.
Everyone can have some sort
of hobby whether costly or inex-pensive.
In each issue of the
CILARION this year we are going
to tell you about someone here at
Bethel who has a hobby of special
interest. This time we are taking
an outstanding hobbyist, Professor
Theodore Bergman.
Bergman is one of the busiest
people you will ever meet. He has
been for many years a well-known
Twin City organist and pianist.
One of his hobbies is playing piano
duos with James Shire Allen, but
he also has other interests not re-lated
to music.
In Northern Minnesota Bergman
has acquired a beautiful plot of
land on which there is a little
creek running down to Lake Su-perior.
He has built there a cot-tage
which Mrs. Bergman and June,
his daughter, have greatly enjoyed
decorating. To this quiet retreat
the Bergman family goes every
year to spend the month of August,
and also for short holidays when
time permits. This temporary rus-tic
life provides the rest necessary
to one living Bergman's life of al-most
ceaseless activity.
Photography is another of our
genial professor's hobbies, and a
profitable one too. IDvery year he
prints approximately 500 Christ-mas
cards for people who want the
unusual and the beautiful. He gets
as much as $1 for a single card.
He does exquisite work and his
cards are displayed in some of the
best stores in Minneapolis.
Bergman has yet another hobby
and that is collecting first issues of
magazines. He is justly proud of
his collection as it is one of the
largest in the northwest. It may
prove to be a gold mine in years to
come, for a lot of people are col-lecting
first issues and would give
their eye-teeth for some of those
Bergman has in his possession.
If you cherish an ambition to
live a rich and well-rounded life
such as Mr. Bergman does, why
not start today a hobby that will
help- you relax and yet will broad-en
your viewpoint and perhaps even
fill your purse? Watch the Hobby
Horse for further suggestions.
Thank you, repo4ers, faculty,
and others that, have cooperated to
make the publication of this issue
a pleasant job. The reporters had
their copy in on time (believe it or
not, miracles still happen).
Installation of BWA officers will
take place Thursday at 3 p. m. in
the women's recreation room with
Viola Waihela presiding. The regu-lar
meetings are on the first Thurs-day
of each month.
In Jeremiah 18 we see that dis-couraged
prophet of God told to go
down to the potter's house, there
to learn a lesson of utmost im-portance.
The context reveals that
the lives of the people were marred
by sin and failure, and Jeremiah
thought he could do no more to
stay the people from destruction.
Curiously, no doubt, he watched
as the quick, clever hands of the
potter formed his vessel from a
lump of shapeless clay. Just a few
mores touches before completion—
and then, it crumbled at his feet.
". . . The vessel was marred." How
many marred lives are there to-day?
The Lord seeks to make His
children "meet for the Master's
use." God has a plan for every life
and He would fashion us accord-ing
to His will. Then why defeat
and failure? Something has come
in and marred that life; an unyield-ed
will, a proud spirit, an uncon-fessed
But the potter did not throw
away those broken bits of clay;
rather he gathered them together,
kneaded them in his hands and
placed it once again upon the
wheel. Have you ever thought
about that second vessel? Was it
as good as the first might have
been? Possibly not—and there is
such a thing as God's second best
for a life, But we have every rea-son
to believe it just as good and
that it served the original purpose.
Yes, and lives defeated by self and
sin, can be remade. Look at Da-vid,
his was a marred life, but God
remade Him. Think of Jacob, the
"supplanter," but he met the Lord
face to face and his name was
changed to Israel, "a prince with
God"—he had been remade. And
Peter, who denied his Lord was
made over at Pentecost, and went
out to be used of God.
Have Thine own way Lord, have
Thine own way.
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy
While I am waiting, yielded and
—Dave Anderson.
I walked in the quiet of ev'ning
I rested in midnight's deep;
I rose at the rosy dawn each day;
I toiled in the noontime heat.
I worked—and I thought as I hur-ried
"Time's short—I must finish to-day."
But the Father placed His hands
on mine,
And spoke—"take time to pray."
That simple command—how hard
to keep—
Before to my work I can go—
He draws me gently to His side,
And says: "Be still, and know."
Bethel Affords Opportunities For All
We propose to advance the cause of Bethel, for 'Bethel offers exclu-sive
advantages. It provides for the spiritual experience and growth of
its students, it offers opportunities to develop Christian leadership, it
is conducive to the building of strong character, it is interested in
strong spiritual, mental, social, and physical men and women.
Twenty years ago a group of progressive Bethelites with an eye for
the future of their Alma Mater organized a campus newspaper. The
past 20 years have not diminished this progressive spirit.
Last year the CLARION under the leadership of a capable editorial
and business staff with the faithful cooperation of its reporters again
advanced in size and quality. This year the staff will attempt to uphold
the high standard attained in past years to add to the CLARION'S former
"Student talent galore" was a comment we heard on the campus. It
is true that there is much talent in the Bethel student body. This has
been evidenced at various times and on numerous occasions. Now it
seems a shame that you poets and poetesses should permit but one or
two special friends to admire' your creations. Bring them in to the Pub-lications
office and let us print them. As soon as the issue with your
contribution is out, see one of the editorial staff and they will provide
you with as many copies as you can use to send to your various friends.
Make the CLARION your paper.
Of course we welcome suggestions. Where there is improvement
there is progress. Improvement presupposes change. We may be so
used to doing things a certain way that a better method will be smoth-ered
by a previous habit. Your suggestions will keep us out of a rut.
We will be glad to make any change for the better.
By RODGER RENDAHL
The peoples of Israel had their
Hittites, their Cannonites and the
rest of their numerous "ites," but
Bethel has its Dormites, which ac-cording
to an old English defini-tion
means "certain types of mice
and other rodents which hibernate
through the winter" — thus the
name for this column.
The Dorm this year has 29 in-habitants
(complete now — Ferre
came back). Twenty-six are Semi-nary
students, of which an even
dozen hold churches. There are 10
states and two Canadian provinces
represented, which makes this
quite a cosmopolitan area.
Our Czecho-Slovakian choir di-rector
is now an accomplished bell
ringer, practicing at 6:30. Ole Nel-son
has left the high seas for the
upper deck, it seems more natural.
"Boom" has been seen wearing a
red shirt, which just goes to show
he has had a successful 'dear' sea-son.
'Pipe-the-Piper' Lundquist gets
the Dormites out with "Clean lin-en"
Saturday mornings. Sh-h-h-h,
we have curtains now.
Volleyball, Soccer, Football
Engaged In By Gym Classes
Physical education classes, under the supervision of Coach Bill Adams,
are engaged in volleyball tournaments.
An over-abundance of students in the Fredhmen Tuesday and
Thursday class was reason for the formation of another frosh class
which meets on Monday and Wednesday.
The sophomore women are en-grossed
in battling for volleyball
honors. This class is divided into
two teams, the Ace Balls and the
Dream Balls. Total results are as
follows: On Wednesday morning, every-

There are enough girls in this
class to form four teams. Results
at this writing are as follows:
Won Lost
Bullets 8 4
Hot Shots 7 5
Infants 7 5
Buzzers 4 8
The sophomore boys are turning
their attention to volleyball also.
There are two teams in the sopho-more
class, the Dead End Kids
with five wins and one loss, and
the Super Men with just a reverse
record, one win and five losses.
The standings of the Tuesday and
Thursday freshmen class teams are
as follows:
Won Lost
Cowboys 7 2
Swedes 6 3
Plugs 4 5
Blitzkriegers 3 6
For the Monday and Wednesday
class, the Gophers are leading the
Foreigners, 12 wins and four loss-es,
the Foreigners having the re-verse
of that score.
Another sport worthy of mention
is intramural touch football. Some
of the scores up to this writing are
as follows:
College Sophs 28
College Frosh 0
Seminary 19
College Left-Overs 14
These battles take place on Mon-day,
Wednesday and Friday. The
Championship team will take on an
All-Star roster during Homecom-ing.
Everyone is invited to witness
these three-per-week scraps •which
start at 4:00 p. m.
Debate To Begin When
Question Is Received
A varied and active forensic pro-gram
is being planned for the year.
This activity will again be under
the direction of Miss Enid Platts.
Actual work on the debate ques-tion
will not begin until after the
Pi Kappa Delta debate question for
colleges is announced. Until that
time the students will be engaged
in studying the principles of argu-mentation.
There are nine students
participating in this activity.
Go to the
1535 W. Como Ave.
It is no longer fair to think
of Cliff as the sucker, but this
exclusive story reveals that
other characters are doing well
at biting on this subtle gag.
Four questions were asked by the
"Gallup poll"—(1) Who do you fa-vor—
Roosevelt or Willkie? (2) Are
you in favor of conscription? (3)
Who will win the war—Great Brit-ain
or Germany? (4) What color
hair do you prefer?
Both Bob and Gordy were found
to be supporters of Willkie, and
Cliff was undecided. Gordy and
Cliff were opposed to conscription
with Bob approving the measure.
Bob, only, thought that Germany
would win the war, while Gordy
and Cliff held to Britain's superior
strength. In answer to a question
as to the color of hair favored,
Cliff called brunette his choice.

Historic Homecoming
To Use Indian Motif
Plans for Homecoming Day,
which will be Friday, November 1,
are centered about an Indian
theme. At the first meeting of the
combined committees this motif
was decided upon.
Many suggestions were of-fered
during the meeting to
make this year's event an out-standing
one in the history of
Bethel Homecomings, accord-ing
to Virgil Olson, general
The committees will meet
again today to plan more de-tails
for the coming gala event.
Because this school year marks
the 70th anniversary of the found-ing
of the Serdinary and the 10th
of the beginning of the Junior Col-lege,
some events of historical in-terest
will be worked in. Sugges-tions
were also made for a fresh-man-
sponsored bonfire the night
before Homecoming, for a sand-bag
fight on the campus of Homecom-ing
afternoon, and for a program
to fill the entire Homecoming day
after chapel.
The Indian theme was
thought suggestive for the en.
tire program because the ath-letic
teams are familiarly
known by that term.
The five committees working on
the plan are: program, publicity,
decorations, souvenirs, and eats.

inclusion of such matter places

What! No A Cappella choir?
That's right. There is going to be
no mixed chorus this year.
A Women's chorus will be
organized in four-part harmony
to take the place of the A Cap-pella.
The different parts will

Teaching Post In Sem
"I'm glad I came!"
This was the comment of Rev.
R. E. Omark, new instructor in the
Seminary, after a week's acquaint-ance
with his new duties.
Rev. Omark returns to Beth-el
after two year's experience
teaching high school, and 11
year's service in two pastor-ates.
He received his training
at the University of Illinois,
Bethel seminary, and South-western
Baptist seminary.
He is married and has a 4 year
old daughter. His home state is
Illinois. As to age, he claims to be
Colonel Charles Lindbergh's twin.
His hobbies run along sport-ing
and agrarian lines; tennis
and vegetable gardening occu-pying
most of his leisure time.
He would rather participate in
sports than watch others play.
He has also coached high
school basketball.
"To me, Bethel means opportun-ity,"
said Professor Omark, "oppor-tunity
for enlarged vision, oppor-tunity
for rare fellowship, and op-portunity
for consecrated service."
C. E. Carlson Finds
Vacation Busy Time
Between periods of studying,
preaching, and teaching, Professor
C. E. Carlson found very little time
for leisure activity this summer.
For one week he taught a course
in orientation and living within
God's will (which Bethel students
call "advance freshman lectures")
at the Minnesota Swedish summer
assembly in Alexandria.
Almost without exception he ful-filled
one or two pulpit engage-ments
on Sundays, and often spoke
at a B.Y.P.U. meeting or taught a
Sunday School class.

Fridolph Nelson Joins
Junior College . Faculty
Coming from a pioneer Baptist
family into our midst as an in-structor,
Professor Fridolph Nel-son
of Berkeley, California, has
expressed his delight in his new
position with "We like the coun-try,
we like the school and we es-pecially
like the people!"
He was born into the home
of Rev. F. 0. ,Nelson, pioneer
Baptist minister and one of the
first graduates of Morgan Park
seminary, Chicago. Prof. Nel-son
has spent his entire life in
the western part of the United
States, living in Montana, Min-nesota,
Washington, and Cali-fornia.
Prof. Nelson received his entire
education in California, graduating
from Turlock High school. He re-ceived
an M. A. degree from the
University of California this year,
after taking graduate student work
from January to August.
Of the nine brothers and sis-ters
in the F. 0. Nelson family,
six are either in or directly
connected with the Christian
work, and are scattered from
Cuba to Shanghai.
Prof. Nelson has always had the
feeling that he would sometime Jive
in the land of his father, Minne-sota.

During Summer
Prof. Adolph Olson, soft-spoken
Seminary teacher of Bible, church
history, church polity, systematic
theology, and history of Baptists,
spent a summer unlike any student.
His vacation period was filled in
teaching and preaching at various
assemblies and young people's
During the earlier part of the
summer he spent some time at
the Twin City boys' and girls'
camp at Wood Lake, Wiscon-sin.
Mrs. Olson had charge of
the girls' section of the camp.
At the young people's assembly
of Michigan he took up his duties
as a teacher and taught two young
people's 'classes.
Later he spent two weeks at the
young people's assembly of New
York at Elim Park, Conn. Besides
teaching a class in Baptist distinc-tives,
he also did some preaching.

Benoit scores off assist from MacKinnon to lift Avalanche to 3-2 overtime win over Red WingsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
DETROIT - Andre Benoit scored off an assist from rookie Nathan MacKinnon with 31.4 seconds left in overtime, lifting the Colorado Avalanche to a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
MacKinnon has a point in 13 straight games, breaking Wayne Gretzky's record for an 18-year-old NHL player.
Colorado's P.A. Parenteau made it a 2-all game 5:49 into the third period.
Detroit took leads on Niklas Kronwall's goal midway through the first period and Tomas Jurco's score with 7:50 left in the second.
Matt Duchene tied it at 1 midway through the second period.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 35 saves for the Avalanche, who have won four straight. Detroit's Jimmy Howard stopped 22 shots.
The Red Wings retired Nicklas Lidstrom's No. 5 jersey before the game.

Issue Type: Bug Created: 2008-10-06T04:48:23.000+0000 Last Updated: 2009-07-20T12:31:53.000+0000 Status: Resolved Fix version(s): - 1.9.0 (31/Jul/09)
Reporter: Holger Schäfer (hschaefer123) Assignee: Stefan Gehrig (sgehrig) Tags: - Zend_Ldap
Related issues: Attachments:
authentication against Microsoft ADS (LDAP) does not work with special characters inside username!
The problem is inside: public function getCanonicalAccountName($acctname, $form = 0) ... $uname = strtolower($uname); ..
If using a DN Form of authentication ex. "schäfer@abc.de" the authentication needs DN: sch\303\firstname.lastname@example.com
The stringtolower conversion corrupts the uname data and the whole authentication does not work for usernames with special characters!
Also strtolower can be critical in situations with different charsets!
Maybe this transformation can be optional or must not be used at this place.
Hope, that this fix will find his way in one of the next releases, because as a workaround i manually have to comment out this line of code.
Best wishes, Holger Schäfer

Yeah, it looks like we need to use $username = mb_strtolower($username, 'UTF-8'). We might need to call it conditionally if it's not a core PHP function though.
Commenting out that strtolower is an ok solution too.
The reason the username is lower-cased is because, as the name of the method implies, getCanonicalAccountName should always return the same string for the same account such that an equality comparison with == should return true. If we don't normalize the case, that may result in subtle bugs in higher level logic where people assume a logical comparison will be sufficient (as opposed to a strcasecmp). But since database string comparisons are almost always case insensitive, it's probably ok to not normalize the username to lowercase. So perhaps we should make this optional.
I'm about to do another pass at Zend_Ldap. I'll create an account with non-ASCII characters in the username and make sure that all the tests work correctly.
Thanks for the feedback, Mike

I was not able to reproduce this issue.
Adding a user schäfer to AD worked perfectly with my standard Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap demo app. The user is correctly authenticated and the umlaut is represented correctly throughout.
Perhaps your PHP multi-byte settings are causing an issue?
Or perhaps the web server locale is not suitable?
My interpretation of the strtolower documentation indicates that a UTF-8 locale or C local should work fine. UTF-8 characters should be converted correctly in a UTF-8 locale and characters are not converted at all in the C local.
Note that if you are using a locale other than UTF-8, the LDAP client in general may not behave as expected as LDAP data is always UTF-8 regardless of what locale you run in.
I will leave this issue open if you wish to pursue the issue futher however I have downgraded the issue to "minor".
Posted by Holger Schäfer (hschaefer123) on 2008-10-09T00:23:56.000+0000
Hi Allan, thanks for the quick answer.
We are using Windows as a Devsystem and Linux as the prodsystem, to make sure that the code is running on both systems.
Windows has it's own kind of implementation of the locale functionality. In the manual i found an entry:
Note about using UTF-8 locale charset on Windows systems: According to MSDN, Windows setlocale()'s implementation does not support UTF-8 encoding. Citation from "MSDN setlocale, _wsetlocale" page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…): The set of available languages, country/region codes, and code pages includes all those supported by the >Win32 >NLS API except code pages that require more than two bytes per character, such as UTF-7 and UTF-8. If >you provide >a code page like UTF-7 or UTF-8, setlocale will fail, returning NULL.
That was the reason why we have to use different locales for Windows and Linux.
I just tested it by myself, and all combinations of setlocale (only windows) like setlocale(LC_ALL, 'deu_deu', 'germany_germany'); does not work the expected way (things like "deu_deu.UTF8" does not work on windows). The locale is always "German_Germany.1252 "
Concerning strtolower: In the manual, there is also an example function "strtolower_utf8($inputString)", that uses utf8_decoding -> strtolower -> utf_encode to make sure, that strtolower works well in utf8 case.
So i think, i'm not able to use Zend_Ldap (on windows) without the strtolower line, cause the problems is in combination of codepage 1252 and using strtolower while the whole communikation is code in utf-8.
If Zend_Framework supports the windows plattform, any solution inside the framework would be great, cause it is a little bit problematic on every update of the ZendFramework manually to comment the codeline.
Any Ideas?
Best wishes Holger

HTML::Widget versus RoR helpers
What I am still not happy with is the widget config - I feel that all the visual things (like the choice between textarea and textfield etc) should be managed in the templates. The Ruby on Rails helpers seem ideal solution - they do all the validation, filling up the values that need to be done in the controller, but let the View manage the actual HTML produced. To reach that we would have be able to produce HTML::Widget::Element without specifying that it is to be a textfield or a radio box and leave the HTML generation to be called in the template, something like:
[% result.field_html('fieldname, 'textarea', cols, 30, rows, 5) %]
This would produce the field html with the proper value and an error mark if there was an error during validation. This looks like too radical step for evolution of HTML::Widget - perhaps what is needed is some completely new module?
Inspired by "Rails-like form helpers" email discussion.
There is a reply at the mailing list.

I think you are putting the finger on some of the conceptual trouble I've had with HTML::Widget. It's a really great tool with a solid community, but for Catalyst development it's a little hard to figure out with a HTML::Widget is, since it has aspects that are both View-like (element type and layout controls) and Model like (constraints) with a bit of Controller tosses in for processing requests.
One of the things I like about JSF is how a form layout can be bound to a model in such a way so that you can have different templates to express that, such as plain or HTML forms, Ajaxified forms or even xforms based systems.
Yes, I agree with you. HTML::W is a great tool, but it's not so good for the auto generated code. People, especially in Perl community, want greater control of their code. I'd like to be able to move form elements around and do forms "my own way".
I've edited H::W, to make it possible to add a 'Field' type element to achieve this.
$widget->element(Field => foo);
$result->field_xml( foo => 'Textfield', %attrs );
which could of course be called from TT with:
result.field_xml( foo, Textarea, cols, 30, rows, 5 )
I haven't committed it to svn yet though, as I'd like to get some feedback first on what other sort of features you'd like, as I'm guessing some might require architectural changes.
btw, are you subscribed to the h-w mailing list? I sent a response to this blog post to the list last week. If you want to discuss this further, I'd much rather see the conversation happen there, where other h-w contributors hang out.

:) Actually I am on the list, just not sure of the best way for me to contribute based on my time needs (just got married, etc.)
I'll try to summarize my thoughts over there something soon.

Small Group Instructional Feedback (SGIF)
Small Group Instructional Feedback (SGIF) sessions are available mid-semester to faculty wishing to assess their teaching and student learning, while there is still time for improvement. Mid-semester evaluations afford the instructor time to make crucial and often easy changes. Although end-of-the-semester evaluations are useful for future teaching of the course, mid-semester evaluations benefit you and your students immediately.
How SGIFs work: Mid-semester, a CTE consultant facilitates a small group discussion with your students during the first or last 30 to 40 minutes of a class session. Student responses remain anonymous, and are reported to the instructor in a confidential meeting soon after the SGIF session. Here, the consultant shares findings and discusses possible strategies for increased learning. Use the following link for more information on SGIF's and other assessment activities.
For more information about mid-semester evaluations, contact Leslie Johnson at (517) 483-9731. You may request a SGIF by filling out the form below.

On Sept. 2, 2011, the U.S. Dept. of Labor (DOL) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Child Labor Regulations. A NPRM is the first step an agency makes before actually issuing a proposed rule. Commenting on a NPRM is the first opportunity the public has to influence a rule's content. The public has a second opportunity to affect the rule when it is published in a proposed or draft form. Public input at both junctures is crucial.
In the NPRM, the DOL proposed to revise child labor regulations, which set forth the criteria for the employment of minors under 16 years of age in agricultural occupations and under 18 years of age in non-agricultural occupations. The NPRM proposes to implement specific recommendations made by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, increase parity between the agricultural and non-agricultural child labor provisions, and also target other areas for change.
Several agricultural organizations have identified many areas of concern raised by the proposed rule. Concerns range from the implications of multiple family members working for a family farm organized as a LLC, additional restrictions placed on young people working with and around agricultural equipment, to the future of agricultural education opportunities for youths and teens.
The NCC is working with these organizations in requesting an extension in the comment period to provide time for a thorough analysis of the rule's potential impacts. The comment period is now through Nov. 1, 2011.

Investors are scaling back home buying, according to data released Wednesday, and there's concern that the gap in purchases won't be filled as prospective first-time buyers struggle with a choppy jobs market and high barriers to obtaining a mortgage.
Skyrocketing prices over the past year cooled non-institutional investors' interest in real estate, with these households making up 20% of home purchases in 2013, down from 24% in 2012, according to fresh data from the National Association of Realtors. There's also evidence that big-time investors are slowing their home purchases. Stephen Schwarzman, chief executive of Blackstone Group, which has bought at least $7 billion worth of houses, recently said his firm's exposure is large enough.
The housing market may miss investors' support if first-time buyers don't step up to the plate. But recently released data show that home sales to young families, who are having a particularly tough time in this housing market, are weak.
"The near-term concern for the housing market is that demand from investors will fade, but first-time home buyers won't be prepared to take market share as a result of tight credit and years of sluggish income growth," Michelle Meyer, senior U.S. economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, wrote in a recent research note. "This could lead to a hiccup in home sales and moderation in home price appreciation."
First-time buyers made up just 28% of existing-home sales in February, compared with a long-term average of 40%, according to NAR.
Calling depressed first-time-buyer activity "a worrisome trend," Meyer noted two factors influencing these would-be purchasers.
One: First-time buyers may not be interested in becoming homeowners. "Opinions have… changed in regards to housing as a store of wealth and a means for financing future expenditures," Meyer wrote. "For many young adults who are searching for labor mobility and liquid assets, buying a home may not seem as attractive as renting."
Two: First-time buyers may not be eligible to get a mortgage. "Credit has continued to tighten, which means home ownership has become restricted to a subset of the population," she wrote.
Indeed, Paul Diggle, property economist at Capital Economics, noted that mortgage applications to buy a home have dropped about 17% over the past year.
"Mortgage demand will have to rise...if mortgage-dependent buyers are going to play a larger role in the housing recovery," Diggle wrote. "The longer mortgage lending flat lines, the more precarious the housing recovery will
Also of interest in NAR's Wednesday data: The share of homes sold as vacation properties to non-institutional buyers rose to 13% in 2013 -- the largest chunk in seven years -- from 11% in 2012. Meanwhile, the share of homes sold as primary residences increased to 67% -- the highest in three years -- from 65%.

A Pink Bird: The Flamingo
You have probably seen a long-necked, long-legged pink bird on TV. This bird is called the "flamingo". Flamingos leave their eggs in shallow muddy lakes. What is interesting is that the female flamingo leaves her egg in the nest she makes out of quick-drying mud.
Imagine yourself in the flamingo's shoes and assume that you want to make a nest for yourself. You need primarily to discover which type of mud dries more quickly and find where the young flamingo can hatch more easily. Meanwhile, you need to find the answers to many questions such as "is it better to put the egg under the sun or in the shade?" However, each flamingo knows how to accomplish this. Moreover, despite her long legs offering no comfort to her, she incubates for a month and waits for her young to hatch.
If you were in her shoes, would you dare to sit on the egg with your giant body? Could you estimate whether the egg would be broken, if you sat on it? Surely, it would be very difficult for you to know all these things. However, all flamingos estimate these things without planning or trial and error because, they are taught so by their Lord.
Flamingos attract our attention with their eye-catching colours and long necks, and they are also very good swimmers. Their webbed feet help them to swim. By means of these webbed feet, which have a wide flat structure, they can walk easily without sinking even on soft mud. Furthermore, the webs between their toes provide a wide surface, so that flamingos can propel themselves through the water. As we have seen, flamingos have been created with all the details necessary for their survival.

Rewrite, edit, do whatever you want to it if you want to use it! I posted this a few years ago. I'm sending it today after last year's disappointment. After the wonderful discussions on spiritual motherhood with Rebecca, I reworked the sentence on spiritual motherhood and fatherhood. Let me know if you have suggestions!
Dear Fathers-
Easter blessings to each of you!
Made for Another World
Here are two blessings I found last year- not sure if I will include with the letter or not:
To those who gave birth this year to their first child—we celebrate with you
To those who lost a child this year – we mourn with you
To those who are in the trenches with little ones every day and wear the badge of food
stains – we appreciate you
To those who experienced loss this year through miscarriage, failed adoptions, or
running away—we mourn with you
To those who walk the hard path of infertility, fraught with pokes, prods, tears, and
disappointment – we walk with you. Forgive us when we say foolish things. We don't
mean to make this harder than it is.
To those who are foster moms, mentor moms, and spiritual moms – we need you
To those who have warm and close relationships with your children – we celebrate with
To those who have disappointment, heart ache, and distance with your children – we sit
with you
To those who lost their mothers this year – we grieve with you
To those who experienced abuse at the hands of your own mother – we acknowledge
your experience
To those who lived through driving tests, medical tests, and the overall testing of
motherhood – we are better for having you in our midst
To those who will have emptier nests in the upcoming year – we grieve and rejoice with
And to those who are pregnant with new life, both expected and surprising –we
anticipate with you
This Mother's Day, we walk with you. Mothering is not for the faint of heart and we have
real warriors in our midst. We remember you.
God our Creator, we pray:
for new mothers, coming to terms with new responsibility;
for expectant mothers, wondering and waiting;
for those who are tired, stressed or depressed;
for those who struggle to balance the tasks of work and family;
for those who are unable to feed their children due to poverty;
for those whose children have physical, mental or emotional disabilities;
for those who raise children on their own;
for those who have lost a child;
for those who care for the children of others;
for those whose children have left home;
and for those whose desire to be a mother has not been fulfilled.
Bless all mothers, that their love may be deep and tender, and that they may lead their children to know and do what is good,
living not for themselves alone, but for God and for others.
Happy Mother's Day!!

Springhill Group Home Care: Is Home for the Aged a Better Option
Home for the aged is a general term for a facility that cares for elderly people. It is not a question of where but a question of how. How is home for the aged can do good for our elderly?
In a fast phase world like ours, finding time for fun and leisure is hard and finding time for family is harder. Sometimes we are left with no choice. We are forced to leave our elderly family members in a nursing home or more popular as home for the aged.
There is always two sides in a story, leaving elderly family member in a caring home has advantages and disadvantages. Number of senior citizens suddenly seemed to multiply since 1950's. In 1900 the average life expectancy was forty-five, by 1950 the average life span was almost seventy years; the population has doubled but the number of people65 and over had quadrupled to become 8% of the total. In 1950's more and more population of "retirees" are supposed to get their pensions. Due to this case, extended families are seemed to be an obligation, where elderly had to stay with their sons, daughters or grandchildren.
People then began wondering how to accommodate this burden. They started taking about nursing homes, retirement houses, or apartments where they can leave their elderly. Golden years are supposed to have a positive connotation but now the phrase developed into a different meaning. Instead of the "golden years" being now, I a one's old age golden refers to the good old days.
Studies showed that people in developed countries are not only living longer, but also remain healthy for much of their lives, unlike in less developed countries, where the elderly tend to be plagued with serious illnesses. Causing them to live longer which means government has to support them because they are already retirees. In order to support them, one must work and working means no one to take care of the elderly.
Elderly has a special healthcare although facilities like home for the aged are designed to take care of them they are often lacking human resources and other needs of these retirees. A sad truth is some facilities have no mercy on their patients. Sometimes they overmedicate them and let them lay in their beds for hours and even days. They lack people to attend to the elderly so they had to choose over feeding them and bathing them. They feed them and who knows how and what, and then they will let them stay in soiled clothes and beds. Those were just samples. But not every home is like that, there are homes where they will take care of the elderly and makes sure that they are well feed and well medicated.
If you are thinking of taking your elderly family member to homes, you must weigh things and consider possibilities and other options first. Sometimes it will work for you and your dad for example but sometimes it is better if you'd get help and pay assistance from private nurses. Whatever your decision is, you must remember that they once took care of us and had been very patient to us when we were younger; it is time to pay them back. Your son or daughter will do the same for you in the future.

And the new model revealed by the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre in 2013 further accentuates this originality: it possesses all the attributes that have forged the success of the Master Control line, as well as the characteristics of a timepiece that has written some of the finest chapters in watchmaking history. Nonetheless, its enduring appeal shows up in a subtly different interpretation featuring a resized 39 mm-diameter case.
In 1945, Jaeger-LeCoultre unveiled a calendar watch featuring the kind of pure lines that asserted themselves throughout the latter half of the 20th century. It served as a source of inspiration for all the contemporary Master Calendar models, and continues to appeal to watchmaking enthusiasts with a taste for elegance and precision.
The new Master Calendar is self-evidently loyal to its design philosophy: clear-cut lines, harmoniously arranged indications ensuring instant read-off, traditionally-shaped numerals, applied hour-markers, the Jaeger-LeCoultre signature at 12 o'clock, along with the "AUTOMATIC" inscription at 6 o'clock serving as a visual reminder of the performance of Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 866. Reassured by these similarities, which are a pledge of trustworthiness, the eye of the connoisseur then naturally looks for the subtle differences.
Two of these essential dissimilarities are gradually revealed. On the one hand, the case appears in a slightly smaller 39 mm diameter, designed to adapt to the curve of any wrist. Its harmonious proportions are also largely due to a new element: its 10.6 mm thickness – an authentic horological feat for a case housing an automatic movement with a complete calendar.
After reducing the diameter and the thickness, the engineers made way for the designers who slimmed down the lugs and the bezel so as to further accentuate the elegance of an overall vision in which technical aspects are dedicated to the cause of aesthetic elegance.
Finest hours
The exact order of the useful functions is clearly apparent on the sunburst silver-toned dial: the eye almost instinctively perceives the main indications of the watch, the hours and minutes shown by central dauphine-type hands. The mind can then focus on the additional information provided: the day of the week and the month appearing in two 12 o'clock apertures, and the seconds read off around the rim of a subdial at 6 o'clock. The latter is devoted to displaying the moon phase which, in keeping with tradition, appears to peep out between two clouds and to ascend into the star-studded sky. As the soul revels in these celestial wonders, the gaze naturally sets off to discover a new indication appearing at the far end of a long hand tipped by a crescent moon sweeping gently around the date to which it points on a graduated scale running from 1 to 31 and arranged around the dial circumference.
The Master Calendar comes in two versions: one in pink gold and the other in stainless steel – each framing a silver-toned sunburst dial. The pink gold model is teamed with an alligator leather strap secured by a matching pin buckle, while the alligator strap of the stainless steel version comes with an equally matching folding clasp.
Water-resistant to 5 atmospheres, the case is equipped with a sapphire crystal revealing the movement – Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 866 – featuring components graced with traditional Fine Watchmaking finishes. Once again, the Manufacture has achieved the tour de force of providing a fresh interpretation of perfection. The magic is as potent as ever and the aficionado's heart beats a little bit faster: the Master Calendar is now more quintessentially horological than ever.

In every success story there are turning points. For the CEO of Red Hat, Jim Whitehurst, one of them came when planes were crashing into the Twin Towers on 9/11.
On the morning of 9/11, Whitehurst thought he would be a management consultant at the Boston Consulting Group forever. He met his wife there. He loved the work. He was happy, he told Business Insider.
But as the towers were falling down, he got a call from Leo Mullin, the CEO of one of his biggest clients, Delta Airlines. "Jim I need you now. I need you to be my treasurer," Mullin said.
At first Whitehurst refused. "I told Leo I knew nothing about being a treasurer." Whitehurst's background was in computer science and economics topped off with a Harvard MBA. But Mullin pressed him. Delta didn't need a bookkeeper. It needed a creative genius who could raise a LOT of money to pay immediate bills when "no one in their right mind would loan money to an airline," recounts Whitehurst.
So at noon on 9/11, Whitehurst became acting treasurer and set about raising $1.25 billion while planes and passengers were stranded around the nation.
On 9/12, he got a call from the chairman of JP Morgan at the time, Bill Harrison, who promised Whitehurst that if he couldn't raise the money, JP Morgan would front it all to Delta.
"$1.25 billion -- that's a lot of money when whole world falling apart," remembers Whitehurst. "That left a soft spot in my heart for JP Morgan."
He did raise the money and JP Morgan did not have to front all of it, he says.
Whitehurst stayed on as treasurer at Delta and, as a computer geek, spent his free time downloading information about the transportation network. Delta had a lousy on time record. He wanted to improve it. In 2004, a troubled Delta had itself a new CEO, Gerald Grinstein, who told Whitehurst "You've been complaining about the network so much, now it's yours."
Whitehurst was made COO and instantly went from running a team of about 100 people as treasurer to managing 85,000 employees. "I never had an operational job in my life. Now I'm running an airline."
By 2005, it was clear Delta could not avoid bankruptcy. He spent three years restructuring the company, painfully laying off thousands of workers.
When the company emerged from bankruptcy, CEO Gerald Grinstein was also out and the Delta board hired Richard Anderson, a former Northwest Airlines executive as CEO. Whitehurst was out, too, though the upbeat Red Hat CEO clearly holds no hard feelings about the situation.
News circulated that Whitehurst was leaving Delta and Fortune published a profile on him, calling him "a familiar face to a lot of employees" and "architect of the airline's turnaround."
Matthew Szulik was looking to leave his role as CEO of Red Hat. Contrary to reports at the time, the hiring of Whitehurst was not a slap at Szulik. He read the Fortune article and was the one that called Whitehurst and interviewed him for the job, Whitehurst says.
Whitehurst was just starting to feel miserable over his job prospects when he got the call. He'd been on interviews, but didn't want to take on another major turnaround.
But Red Hat was ideal.
"I'm still a techie geek and always was. When I was screwing around with all that network data back when I was treasurer at Delta, I was doing that in Linux. I knew Red Hat well as I'd been using Fedora which is Red Hat's free distribution," he remembers.
The Red Hat board loved him and he got the job in December, 2007.
"It was a confluence of things that happened. I had a degree in computer science but had drifted away and then the right opportunity at the right time came along, and here I am," he laughs. Turns out, it was a good move for all involved. His four-plus years at Red Hat have been impressive.
When he began, Red Hat was a $500 million company trading at about $20 a share. Now it's on track to post over $1 billion when its fiscal year closes on February 29 and its stock trades at around $48. Red Hat has become a serious thorn in Microsoft's side and has proven the open source model can be profitable. This has changed enterprise software forever.
And it all began during one of the nation's darkest hours.

A completion date to expand Bear Town Cinema 6 has been pushed back to at least December.
A completion date to expand Bear Town Cinema 6 has been pushed back to at least December.
Mitchell Brydge, co-owner of the cinema, said several things have held up the planned 11,000-square-foot addition to the existing 18,000-square-foot theater. Brydge said in December he hoped to have the extension, which will add four more movie screens and add an additional 650 seats, completed by May.
�We ran into a few snags,� he said. �A project like this is not simple. It was really complicated. There was more to it than the average things we design.�
Brydge is also co-owner of Brydge and Lee, a building contractor business that will build the addition to the cinema. Bryde and Lee has done several major renovation projects in New Bern, including the New Bern Fire Station, Stanley White Recreation Center and the Craven County Emergency Response 911 Center.
But Brydge said it was more difficult working on a cinema project. To get the expansion approved, he had to go through a review process that involved seven city agencies, the Department of Transportation and the Craven County Health Department.
The project also was held up when SOS Global, a company located across the street from the theater, opposed set back, planting/buffering and parking variances Brydge needed to complete the project. SOS Global was worried about additional parking at the theater spilling over into its parking lot and the driveways lining up.
Also, a new fire alarm system has to be installed because the total number of seats will increase to 1,600 from a current number of 950 seats.
With all of the obstacles, Brydge said he decided to slow the project down.
Bear Town Cinema 6 did get the variances and completed the departmental reviews in May and got the stormwater plan approved. The next step is to submit the architect and engineer plans to the city and get a building permit before construction starts, Brydge said.
�We are close to starting right now,� he said.
The new theater section should open in December and will increase the number of movie screens at the cinema from six to 10 screens, Brydge said.
More than $1 million has already been spent on renovations for the current cinema, including a $100,000 new energy-efficient roof.
Once the addition is in place, the entire front of the theater will get a new fa�ade, replacing the old marquees and the awning and making it look more modern, Brydge said.

SAN JOSE — A 25-year-old San Jose man has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run last weekend near Senter Road and Balfour Drive.
Christopher Uchicua was arrested Wednesday after he turned himself in to police and was booked into Santa Clara County Jail on suspicion of felony hit and run. He allegedly hit 51-year-old Son Hoang Nguyen on Sunday, killing him, and then drove away.
About 9:51 p.m. Sunday, officers responded to Senter Road and Balfour Drive, west of Los Lagos Golf Course in South San Jose, for calls about a traffic collision. When they arrived, they found Nguyen badly injured, and though he was rushed to a hospital, he died the next morning.
Investigators have said they believe Nguyen might have been riding a bike when he was hit.
According to police, Uchicua fled the scene before officers arrived, but they have not said how they connected him to the collision.

You'll have to forgive Eminem if he's "beginning to feel like a 'Rap God.'"
"The Marshall Mathers LP 2" sold an additional 13,000 copies for the week ending March 16, according to Nielsen SoundScan, pushing it beyond two million total sales. The milestone continues the rapper's trend of moving more than two million units of each of his albums, per Billboard.

Eminem simultaneously hit another mark that should garner some bragging rights. His total sales across all albums now sits at 44.91 million, overtaking country musician George Strait's 44.89 million to become the second-best-selling male artist. However, it is important to note that Strait's career predates the inception of SoundScan data.
Garth Books is the top selling artist of the era, regardless of gender.
Among all artists in that nearly 23-year span, Eminem is in sixth place, dropping Strait to No. 7. Brooks is on top with 69.52 million. The Beatles are second (65.55 million) and Metallica third (54.26 million), while Mariah Carey sits in fourth (54.24 million) and Celine Dion (52.21 million) rounds out the top five.

Also during the rapper's busy record-breaking week, Eminem landed his 50th Billboard Hot 100 hit, as "Headlights," featuring fun's Nate Ruess, debuted at No. 86. The chart entry crowns as the seventh rapper to tally at least 50 Hot 100 chart entries.
Lil Wayne leads all emcees (and all solo artists of any kind, actually) with 121 songs, followed by Jay Z (82), Drake (69), Kanye West (61), Ludacris (54) and T.I. (53).

I'm building the motor back to stock but not sure about how "swappable" the miscellaneous Corvette parts will be.
I believe Corvettes used a 5 quart oil pan which will not fit a Camaro. Exhaust manifolds are also not interchangeable. The starter is determined by flywheel - 10.3" or 11".Everything esle should be fine.
One of my best friends in 1968-70 (I was in the USAF) owned a '68 Chevelle with the L79 / 4 speed. It was rated 327 ci/325 hp in the Chevelle.. We beat MANY SS396 chevelles with that car... I loved it... 327 ci engine was one of my favorite of all the Chevy engines, with it's great compromise between revvable HP, and drivability torque. If that engine had been offered in the Camaro, why would they have needed the 350??? The 350/300 would have been a step down..
If you want to look stock, keep in mind the 68 had pcv valve in the valve cover, 67,s did not. It is not just a valve cover thing it is a totally different system.

Story highlights
- Wool & Prince have developed a new shirt using fine wool thread
- Creators claim shirt can be worn over 100 times before washing
- Jarrett Bellini: I can't be bothered to iron
In my bedroom there's an amazing wall-mounted hideaway ironing board. It even has an affixed light and timed electrical outlet for safety. The thing is absolutely brilliant.
Naturally, I've never used it.
Not even once. Because it's an ironing board. And, as the word suggests, it requires a willingness to iron.
Which, for me, is a rather lofty ambition considering I barely have a willingness to wear pants. Much less press a shirt.
That said, I'll happily carve out time for pudding and power naps. Though, sadly, neither of these dissolves wrinkles in clothes.
But they do properly illustrate the scope of my priorities. Which is to say I have none.
Fortunately, however, for the sake of my co-workers and the eco-system at large, across the street from my house there's a cleaners, and I happily pay them good money to regularly wash and iron my shirts.
And why not? In half the time it takes to fully prepare just one button-down, I can drop off seven and be done with it. Plus there's a frozen yogurt shop next door so I can treat myself for successfully delegating mild physical labor onto another human being.
"Oreo toppings? Don't mind if I do!"
Not that going to the cleaners actually needs to be justified, but it also makes me feel good to think I'm helping the local economy one mustard stain at a time. The way I see it, somebody's kid gets school supplies because I don't know how to handle a ham sandwich.
I forget to chew and it's colored pencils for everyone!
But there's a new kind of men's shirt being developed that might just change this entire conversation, for the shirt's creators claim it can be worn more than 100 times without ever needing a wash.
It's sort of like that hard-to-reach part of my back. Somehow it just stays clean.
I think. I hope. Probably not.
Nevertheless, the shirt is called Wool&Prince, and the makers proudly boast that it won't wrinkle, it won't get dirty, and it won't smell.
Unless you happen to wear it to the Gathering of the Juggalos.
I didn't read any specific legal language on the matter, but I reckon a spicy cocktail of Faygo, dirt, and DNA invalidates the guarantee.
Whoop! Whoop!
So, with a staunch belief in their product, Wool&Prince started a Kickstarter funding drive in mid-April. And having far surpassed the $30,000 goal, their name recently started popping up all over the web as more and more people began showing interest in this magical shirt.
The secret is wool.
Of course, most men's button-downs are made from cotton. It's soft. It's breathable. And it feels nice against your skin. Like a giraffe's tongue.
But it's not very durable.
Wool, on the other hand, is.
Yet, when most people think of wool, they picture hot, itchy sweaters that arrive annually at your house during the holidays courtesy of Nana.
The Brooklyn-based designers of the new $98 shirts claim fine wool thread is actually the key to temperature control and moisture wicking, and that the fabric even lasts six times longer than cotton.
Whether or not the Wool&Prince shirt actually does what their Kickstarter video claims, the real point is that they've found an interesting new road into the world of casual, low-maintenance clothing. And it brings up an interesting question.
Generally speaking, how often should a man clean his shirts?
Some guys launder them after every wearing. These people are either super rich or sweat gravy.
In this scenario, I'd almost prefer to be the latter because, well ... gravy.
On the other end of the spectrum, you've got the dudes who stick with a shirt until it starts to fuse with their epidermis. At which point it has to be surgically removed with a spatula.
"Give it to me straight, Doc. Is it cancer? Is it melanoma?"
"It's Old Navy."
Between the two extremes, I probably fall somewhere in the middle -- my shirts get washed when the dog appears offended by my presence.
But I'm definitely interested to see where the Wool&Prince shirt goes and whether their "Cotton-Soft" wool fabric becomes some kind of industry standard where we no longer need to clean our clothes.
Until then, it's colored pencils for everyone.

Getting Away With It?
Oahu has almost 50,000 outstanding bench warrants. Are criminals walking scot-free?
(page 1 of 3)
Tucked in the industrial park of Pier 20 sits Oahu's Sheriff Division's offices. Several old sheriff patrol cars are parked outside the small, plain-looking building. Inside, a woman sits at her corner desk in a cubbyhole size of a room. Lining the four walls of her office are 12 black filing cabinets. She spends her time organizing and filing the contents. They contain approximately 35,000 of the Island's 49,914 outstanding bench warrants.
"You should have seen it before we purged a bunch of them. It was worse," says Lt. Robin Nagamine, who heads the Sheriff's Special Operation Section, which includes a 16-deputy bench warrant unit. Surprisingly, these cabinets only hold the warrants that the Sheriff deputies serve; Oahu's almost 15,000 outstanding criminal bench warrants are housed in the main Honolulu Police Department station on Beretania Street.
The estimated number of oustanding bench warrants on Oahu
Out of the nearly 50,000 bench warrants that have not been served, an estimated 34,000 are for traffic-related offenses; the Sheriff Division is tasked with serving the bulk of them. The remaining outstanding warrants consist of about 13,000 criminal misdemeanors and about 3,000 criminal felonies. Outstanding warrants have been an issue in the state for years, and a backlog of some sort will always exist; there's more coming into the system than the Honolulu Police Department and the Sheriff Division can serve. Oahu's court judges issue 1,000 to 3,000 new bench warrants each month, adding to a pile that also contains warrants issued more than five years ago. Budget cuts and lean staffing contribute to the problem, and while technology is bridging the gap, a streamlined warrant process still does not exist.
A bench warrant is a paper order to arrest someone for breaking the law. District and circuit court judges and the Hawaii Paroling Authority can issue warrants for a number of reasons, including committing a crime or failing to appear in court. For example, say you were caught driving 60 mph in the 45 mph zone near the airport. You're issued a speeding ticket and told to a pay a fine. You stash it in your sun visor and forget about it. You haven't paid your ticket, so a judge orders a bench warrant for noncompliance. You now have an outstanding warrant.
Unpaid fines coming from violations such as speeding tickets have denied the state more than $20 million in revenue. Bench warrants can be issued from a pool of more than 1,000 violations, including misdemeanors such as camping in a closed park, shoplifting at a convenience store or parking in a tow-away zone, and felonies such as sexual assault, homicide, grand theft or armed robbery.
Law enforcement is quick to point out however, that 50,000 outstanding warrants does not equal 50,000 criminals—many people in the system have multiple warrants out for their arrest. While it's reassuring that we don't have 50,000 criminals roaming the streets, it's still vexing that 50,000 crimes have gone unpunished.
For the warrant process to be successful, warrants must be issued and served in an efficient and timely manner. A backlog not only adds to the burden of law-enforcement agencies, but also poses a threat to the safety of the community, and lets violators get away with their crimes.
Why There's a Backlog
Nearly 50,000 outstanding warrants sounds like an exorbitant number, given Oahu's population of more than 905,000 people, but it's been even higher in recent years. In 2006, the warrant backlog on Oahu was an estimated 61,500, and that was after the state Judiciary dismissed more than 25,000 traffic-related warrants from the system—some dating back as far as the early '90s—in 2005.
"Most people pay their fines," says state Department of Public Safety deputy director James Propotnick. "That's not the problem. It's what I refer to as the 'scofflaws' that create the problem." Most are not robbing houses or sticking up banks, he says, "but they ignore their legal responsibilities, such as a parking ticket—they tear it up and throw it away or they stuff it in their glove box and collect them."
Serving these types of warrants are a low priority, which means they build up the most. In addition, there is no centralized, statewide warrant database for law enforcement to easily check whether a person has a warrant or not, which also contributes to the backlog.
Hawaii is not unique in having a backlog of outstanding bench warrants. For example, Maryland's Baltimore County had approximately 53,000 outstanding warrants in 2007, with a then-population of almost 786,000. In 1999, Massachusetts had more than 275,000 outstanding warrants, with a population of 6.3 million, before that state took serious measures to reduce the backlog.

MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. – Two of three people reported missing after a fast-moving mudslide swept through Manitou Springs, Colo., have been found safe.
The Gazette reports a man who recently moved to the area affected by the flood was found Saturday. On Sunday, the El Paso County Sheriff's office said another man thought to have disappeared in the flood, 24-year-old Juston Travis, was accounted for.
Authorities are still trying to determine what happened to an unidentified woman witnesses saw clinging to a tree during Friday night's mudslide.
At least one person was killed in the slide, which also destroyed six houses and damaged more than 30 others in an area burned by the Waldo Canyon Fire last year.
Police Chief Joe Ribeiro says crews continue to sift through creek beds filled with debris.

A Day in the Life of the Powell Family
A photographic essay by 1998 Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute participants
Introduction / Father / Mother / Daughter / Slaves / Summary
Eighteenth-century family life was both similar to and very different from family life today. Life choices and opportunity during the eighteenth century depended upon whether individuals were male or female, black or white, free or enslaved, rich or poor, and whether they lived in the county or in a city like Williamsburg. (Slavery was a critical issue in eighteenth-century Virginia. Many Virginia children were raised to be masters or mistresses, while slave families had little control over their family life.)
There was the possibility for upward mobility for white middling families if they had the social skills and behaviors of the gentry. Benjamin Powell and his family were able to take advantage of economic as well as social opportunities available in the capitol city.
Teachers participating in the 1998 Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute were asked to examine family life at the Benjamin Powell House while exploring the use of digital camera images in the classroom. While on the property, teachers were assigned to groups in which each group represented a member of the Powell family: Mr. Powell, Mrs. Powell, Hannah and Nancy Powell (daughters), and Nanny Cate and Rose (three of the Powell slaves). As a result of the teachers' visit to the Benjamin Powell House and the digital images they recorded, you will be able to explore a day in the life of each of the members of the Powell family.
This is the Powell family home, on Waller Street, in Williamsburg, the capital city of Virginia.
Mr. Powell purchased two lots on Waller Street, containing a two-room brick house, on May 1, 1763. He then proceeded to triple the size of the house by adding three rooms on the front and a full second floor. The brick portion of the house is the oldest, built in the 1740s. The frame portion of the house is the 1763 addition.
The Powell property consists of the house, several outbuildings and the gardens. The outbuildings include the kitchen/laundry, the dairy and smokehouse, the stable, the lumber house for storage and the "necessary" houses.
Mr. Powell considers his home to be excellent advertising of both his skill as a builder and as a carpenter. The interior refinements are as beautifully finished as the exterior.
The Powell family in 1774 includes Mr. Powell's wife Annabelle, their daughter Hannah, and three adult slave women, Nanny, Rose and Cate, each of whom have two children on the property. The Powell's youngest daughter, Nancy, married John Burwell in 1771, and they have a daughter, Elizabeth, and are expecting a second child.

Accredited Tournaments
US Squash accredits and supports a year-long calendar of tournaments throughout the country. Tournaments are structured into several levels and types, each designed to offer fulfilling competitive opportunities for all ages and levels of play.
More about Junior Tournaments
Players earn points towards a junior ranking based on their finishing position in different levels of tournaments. The highest level of competition is found in the Junior Championship Tour (JCT), which is designed to promote head-to-head competition between the top Under 19, 17, 15, 13 and 11 juniors. These tournaments are open to any junior squash player to compete, but are limited in size to the top-ranked players who register for the tournaments. These events also contribute to the selection of U.S. Junior Teams to represent the U.S. at world events. Gold, Silver and Bronze Tournaments provide players with a tiered system below JCT events with Gold tournaments featuring the highest level of competition, followed by Silver and then Bronze tournaments.
The U.S. Junior Championships Series is an opportunity for junior players to participate in a U.S. Championship event at their ability level. The U.S. Junior Championship (Closed – restricted to U.S. citizens only) brings in the top 32 players from each division to crown yearly National Champions. The U.S. Junior Open Championships welcomes international players to compete, and allows U.S. juniors to test themselves against the top players from around the world. The U.S. Silver and Bronze Championships are restricted to players above a certain ranking level to allow all players to experience the excitement of season-end national competition.
For more specific understanding of the tournament structure and eligibility please consult the US Squash Junior Rules and Guidelines.

Mack Brushes are every bit as good as Langnickel, Rafael and Grummbacher brushes, and superior to Scharff as they tend not to shed as quickly. Of the two main series of quills, the 179L series and the...[more]
