Facilities Enhancement Projects (Updated Fall 2012)
Mission Statement: Intercollegiate Athletics
The Intercollegiate Athletics Department participates fully within the mission of Western Illinois University to provide the premier undergraduate and graduate education among all public universities in Illinois. The Department strives to attract a diverse group of highly qualified student-athletes and, with a focus on their personal welfare, provide those student-athletes with premier academic and athletic experiences. Through coaching, competitions, mentoring, and specialized student-athlete support services, the Department encourages all participants to succeed at the highest possible level in academic programs and athletic competitions. By this dedication to academic and athletic excellence, the Department seeks to build a sense of pride among its student-athletes in representing Western Illinois University.
The mission statement of the Western Illinois Athletics Department is clear and concise. This philosophy will always be the cornerstone of the decision making process within the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at Western Illinois University. Western has a highly respected tradition, wherein several sport programs have been highly successful at the conference, regional, and in some instances, the national level. Moreover, Western's student-athletes have proven themselves in the classroom, earning highly respectable grade-point averages and nationally competitive graduation rates. The department has made a firm commitment to remain compliant with NCAA, Missouri Valley Football Conference and The Summit League regulations. At the same time, there is a strong commitment to gender equity. A gender neutral athletic environment is critical and necessary. The Western Illinois Athletics Department is, and will remain, an honorable Division I Athletics department.
Athletically, it is our goal to compete at the highest possible level, which by definition describes all Division I intercollegiate athletics programs. Indeed, the desired end result of all Division I athletics competition is victory. It is an extremely intense challenge to be victorious in each and every competition. However, in the end, a Division I intercollegiate sports program is not expected to win on all occasions to be considered successful, yet it cannot and will not be successful if it does not intensely strive for victory. In juxtaposition to our Mission Statement, it is imperative that our victories are achieved fairly and with integrity: Honorable Victory.
Facilities and Western Illinois Athletics
The competitive nature and success of most athletics programs is measured and evaluated on a daily basis, primarily on the scoreboards, newscasts, and newspapers. Oftentimes the basis of a sport program's competitiveness and ultimate success extends behind the headlines deep into the support offered by its administration. The national and regional yardstick by which a program's support base is measured is in its facilities. The coaches and staff at Western Illinois are vigilant in monitoring the successes, failures, resources, and facilities of their peers and rival institutions. These comparisons are provident, because in intercollegiate athletics, just as with other components of the University, most often there is a direct relationship between the facilities and resources and the competitive success of the program. It can be programmatically catastrophic to fall behind our peers.
With this in mind, the Western Illinois Athletics Department is committed to endeavor to advance itself in terms of facility improvement. Despite recent progress, our work is not yet finished. Several athletics facilities originally designed for only a few men's sport programs are now, primarily due to the emergence of women's sports programs, attempting to serve the needs of over 500 student-athletes participating in 20 intercollegiate sports (10 women, 10 men). This information is important because the intercollegiate athletics industry, especially at the Division I level is most certainly a facility-driven enterprise.
The quality of our physical environment has a tremendous effect on two main objectives relative to our competitive achievement:
1. The Student-Athlete Experience
The ultimate return on our investment in our student-athletes will be measured by their overall experience here at Western. The value of this student-athlete experience and subsequent competitive success is directly related to the quality of their training and competition facility. Student-athletes, as all students do, desire to be proud of their institution and of their campus. As computers, laboratories, libraries, residence halls, and dining facilities are essential to successful academic and social education across campus, the facilities where student-athletes practice and compete dramatically affects the academic, athletic and social outcomes. A gender neutral environment is essential.
2. Recruit the Best Student-Athletes
The recruitment of the very best student-athletes is critical. Prospective student-athletes are very impressionable and these impressions are fostered by the quality of an institution's facilities. Adequate facilities reflect a positive image and suggest a commitment to competitive success. In contrast, second-rate facilities will severely hamper the recruiting process. Facility deficiencies additionally provide rival institutions the recruiting advantage fueling the notion that Western may lack the commitment to be a competitive Division I athletics program.
Facility Priorities of Western Illinois Athletics
Regarding the department's mission and facility philosophy detailed above, the Western Illinois University Athletics Department has identified its critical facility needs. Thus, The Facility Initiative is prioritized based on three primary factors:
- the critical need, focusing on student-athlete safety, customer/fan safety, customer/fan amenities which will enhance revenue producing opportunities;
- facilities that will serve the training and competitive needs of as many of our 500+ student-athletes as possible, with a clear eye on achieving a gender neutral environment
- facilities that will position the Athletics Department and the University to recruit the very best student-athletes as possible......Division I caliber student-athletes.
Fund-raising efforts are now under way to secure the appropriate progression towards our ultimate goal. It would be an understatement to say the Facility Initiative must be on the fast track. The time frame for completion of these projects will rely almost entirely upon the future availability of external-based revenue streams and philanthropic gifts to the Intercollegiate Athletics Department.

35 Weeks Pregnant
All About Baby
At 35 weeks, your baby is considered full-term and she looks developed, however, The March of Dimes considers babies born up to 36 weeks as "late preterm." Babies born before 38 weeks are at a higher risk for feeding difficulty and other issues. It is important for you and your baby to be monitored closely by your pediatrician and/or lactation consultant. The soft, fuzzy hairs that once covered her body begin to disappear. She continues to add fat layers, which will help her stay warm once she's out of the womb. During these last weeks, your baby has developed sleeping patterns (and they often have little to do with night and day!)

wooo hooo.... More more more.... keep it coming
Good to see things are coming along quite nicely. I think I will be getting all of your RBN 2.0 output that's in the works right now.
Multi-tasking... Messing up many things at once!
My songs:
This may be a little off topic but I have a question for RoJ. Which method of purchasing your music as full albums (CDBaby CD vs Amazon MP3 vs CDBaby MP3 vs iTunes) is most financially advantageous for the band? I realize that one purchaser won't make that much difference but it might also be useful for others to know.
RB3 Song Count: 1000 unique songs -- XBL: Pheran1
Harmonix, thank you for over 5 years of amazing music.
Hey Pheran, definitely CDBaby gives us the best return for our music. Although the difference is small if many people all by from CDBaby it very quickly adds up. Thanks for the support!
EDIT: I just realize I didnt answer whether a CD returns more or MP3's return more and the answer is: it's about the same. CD's actually return more money but each CD costs way more to produce than an mp3 so its pretty much a wash. If we were able to mass produce CD's then they would probably return the most money.

-- I am.
Thank you.
chairman and delegates.
And fellow citizens.
I am honored by the support of this convention.
-- vice president of the United States.
-- I accept the duty.
To help lead our nation out of a jobs crisis -- back to prosperity.
And I know we can do this.
I accept the calling of my generation.
To give our children the America that was given to us with the opportunity for the young.
And security for the old.
And I know that we are ready.
Our nominee is sure ready.
His whole life prepared him for this moment.
To meet serious challenges in a serious way.
Without excuses and idle words.
After four years of getting the run around.
America needs a turnaround and the man for the job is governor Mitt Romney.
On the newcomer to this campaign.
So let me share of first impression.
I have never seen opponents.
So silent about their record.
Things so desperate.
To keep their power.
They've run out of ideas.
Their moment.
Came and went.
Fear and division.
Is all they've got left.
With -- -- attack ads.
The president is just throwing away money.
And he's pretty experienced at that.
-- -- Some people can't be dragged down by the usual cheap tactics.
Because their character.
And plain decency are so obvious.
And ladies and gentlemen.
Is Mitt Romney.
For my part.
-- nomination is an unexpected turn.
It certainly came as news to my family.
And -- like you meet them.
My best friend and wife -- -- our daughter lives up in our boys Charlie and Sam.
The kids are happy to see their grandma who lives in Florida.
There she is my mom Betty.
My dad.
A small town lawyer was also named Paul.
Until we lost -- when I was sixteen.
It was a gentle presence in my life.
I'd like to think he'd be proud of me.
And my sister and Brothers.
I'm sure proud of him.
And where I come from.
Janesville Wisconsin.
I live on the same block -- grew up.
We belong in the same parish where I was baptized.
-- is that kind of place.
The people of Wisconsin have been good to me.
I tried to live up to their trust.
And now.
I ask those hardworking men and women.
And millions like them across America.
To join our cause and get this country working again.
When governor Romney asked me to join the ticket I said.
Let's get this done and that is exactly what we -- going to do.
President Barack Obama.
Came to office during an economic crisis.
As he has reminded us a timer to the.
Those very tough days.
In any fair measure of his record has to take that into account.
My own state voted for President Obama.
When he talked about change.
Many people like the sound of it.
Especially in Janesville.
Where we are about to lose a major factory.
A lot of guys that went to high school with work -- GM plant.
Right there that plan.
Candidate Obama said.
I believe that if our government is there to support you this plan will be here for another hundred years.
That's -- -- -- in 2008.
As it turned out.
That plan didn't last another year.
It is locked up an -- to this day.
And that's how it isn't so many talents.
-- the recovery that was promised he's nowhere in sight.
Million men and women are struggling to find work.
43 million people from.
Unemployed or underemployed.
Nearly one in six Americans is in poverty.
Millions of young Americans have graduated from college during the Obama presidency.
Ready to use -- gifts and get moving in life.
Half of them.
Can't find the work they studied for or any working at.
So here's a question.
Without a change in leadership.
Why would the next four years be any different from the last four years.
The first troubling sign came with the stimulus.
It was president Obama's first and best shot at fixing the economy.
At a time when he he got everything he wanted under one party rule.
It cost 831 billion dollars.
The largest one time expenditures ever -- our federal government.
He went to companies like Solyndra.
With they're gold plated connections.
Subsidized jobs and make believe markets.
The stimulus was a case of a political patronage.
Corporate welfare.
And cronyism and their worst.
You the American people of this country -- -- cut out of the deal.
What -- taxpayers get out of the Obama stimulus.
More -- That money.
Wasn't just spent and wasted.
It was borrowed spent and wasted.
May be the greatest waste of all.
It was time.
Here we were ever faced with a massive job crisis.
So -- That if everyone out of work -- single file.
That unemployment line would stretch the length of the entire American continent.
You would think that any president whatever his party.
Would make job creation and nothing else his first order of economic business.
But this president didn't do that.
-- steady.
We get along divisive.
All or nothing attempt to put the federal government in charge of health care.
Obama care.
Comes to more than 2000 pages of rules mandates.
Taxes fees paid -- didn't -- placing a free country.
Feel like.
The president has declared that the debate over government controlled health -- is over.
That all comments.
Isn't news to the millions of Americans who -- Mitt Romney so we can repeal Obama care.
And the biggest.
Coldest power play -- ball and obamacare.
Came at the expense of the elderly.
You see.
Even with all the hidden taxes to pay for the health care takeover.
Even with the new law in new taxes.
A nearly a million small businesses.
The players in Washington still didn't have enough money.
They needed more.
They needed.
Hundreds of billions more.
So they just took it all away from Medicare.
Billion dollars funneled out of Medicare by President Obama.
An obligation we have -- -- parents and grandparents is being sacrificed.
All to pay for a new entitlement we didn't even ask for.
The greatest threat to Medicare.
Is Obama care and we -- going to stop him.
In congress.
When they take up the heavy books in the wall charts about Medicare.
My thoughts go back to a house in Garfield street in Janesville.
My wonderful Graham and Janet.
Had alzheimer's.
And she moved in with mom and mean.
No she -- lost at times.
We did all the little things that -- -- love.
We had help from Medicare.
It was there just like it's there for my mom today.
Medicare is a promise.
And we will honor its.
They Romney Ryan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare for my mom's generation.
From my generation and for my kids and yours.
So our opponents can consider themselves on notice.
In this election.
On this issue.
The usual posturing on the left it isn't going to work Mitt Romney and I know the difference between protecting a program and -- it.
Ladies and gentlemen our nation needs this debate we want this debate.
We will win this debate.
Obama care.
As much as anything else.
Explains why -- presidency.
That we -- that began with such anticipation.
Now comes to such a disappointing close.
It began with a financial crisis.
It ends.
-- -- job crisis.
He began with a housing crisis they alone didn't cause.
It ends with a housing crisis they didn't correct.
It began with -- Perfect triple -- credit rating for the United States.
It ends with a downgraded America.
It -- started off.
Was stirring speeches Greek columns the thrill of something new.
All that's left.
Is -- presidency drift.
Surviving on slogans that already seemed tired.
Grasping at a moment.
That is already -- Like -- ship trying to sail on yesterday's wind.
You know.
President Obama.
Was asked not long ago.
To reflect in any mistakes he might have made.
He said well.
I haven't communicated enough.
He said his job is to close.
Tell a story to the American people.
As if that's the whole problem here.
He needs to talk more -- And we need to be better listeners.
Ladies and gentlemen.
These past four years.
We have suffered no shortage of words in the White House.
What is.
The it.
A yeah.
And this story that Barack Obama does talent.
Forever shifting blame to the last administration.
Is getting old.
The man assumed office almost four years ago isn't it about time he assumed responsibility.
In this generation.
A defining responsibility of government.
Is to steer our nation clear of a debt crisis while there is still time.
Back in 2008.
Candidate Obama called a ten trillion dollar national debt unpatriotic.
Serious talk from what looks like a serious reformer.
Yet by his own decisions.
President Obama has added more debt than any other president before him and more than all the -- governments of Europe combined.
One president.
One terror.
Five trillion in new -- He created a new bipartisan debt commission.
They came back with an urgent report.
He thinks them.
Sent them on their way.
And then did exactly.
Republicans stepped up.
With good -- reforms and solutions equal to the problems.
How to the president respond.
By doing nothing.
Nothing except -- dodge and demagogue the issue.
So here we are.
Sixteen trillion dollars in debt is still he does nothing.
In Europe error massive debts have put entire governments at risk of collapse.
And still he does nothing.
In all we have heard from this president.
And his team are attacks and anyone who appears to point out the obvious.
They have no answer.
To this simple reality.
We need to stop spending money we don't have.
My dad used to say to me.
-- You have -- choice.
You can be part of the problem.
Or you can be part of the solution.
The present administration.
Has made it's choices.
And Mitt Romney and I have made hours.
Before the match.
And the momentum overwhelm its fall.
We are going to solve this nation's economic problems.
And I'm -- level with you.
We don't have that much time.
But if we are serious.
In smarts and we -- We can do this.
After four years of government trying to divide up the wealth.
We will get America creating wealth again.
Beside him.
Men and women who create.
-- the men and women who need jobs.
My mom started a small business.
In -- -- what it takes.
-- was fifty when my dad died.
She got on the bus.
Every weekday for years.
And -- 40 miles each morning to Madison.
She and -- new degree and learn new skills to start her small business.
It wasn't just a new livelihood.
He was a new life.
In -- transform my mom.
From a wiggling grief.
To a small business woman whose happiness wasn't just in the past.
Her work gave her hope.
It made our family proud.
And to this day.
My mom is my role model -- Behind every small business.
There's a story worth knowing.
All of a corner shops are towns and cities.
The restaurants cleaners -- -- salons hardware stores.
These didn't come out of nowhere.
A lot of heart goes in to each one.
In a small business people say they made it on their own them all they're saying.
Is that nobody else -- seven days a week in their place.
Nobody showed up and their please -- when the door at 5 in the morning.
Nobody did their thinking and worrying and sweating for them.
After all that work in in a bad economy.
It sure doesn't help to hear from their president the government gets the credit.
What -- -- -- here's the truth yes you.
We have a plan for a stronger middle class.
With a goal of generating twelve million new jobs over the next four years.
In a clean break in a clean break from the -- -- years and frankly.
From the years before this president.
We will keep the federal spending at 20% of GDP or less because that.
Is -- not.
The choice.
The choice is whether to put hard limits and economic growth.
Or hard limits on the size of government.
And we choose to limit government.
I learned a good deal but economics.
In about America.
From the author of the Reagan tax reforms the great Jack Kemp.
Which gave Jack.
That incredible enthusiasm was his belief in the possibilities of free people.
In the power of free enterprise and strong communities to overcome poverty and despair.
We need that same optimism right now.
In our dealings with other nations.
-- Romney -- administration we'll speak with confidence and clarity.
Whatever men and women rise up for their own freedom.
They will know that the American president is on their side.
And a instead.
-- instead of managing American decline.
Leading allies to Dallas and adversaries to test us we will act in the conviction.
That the United States is still the greatest force for peace and liberty that this world has ever known.
-- -- -- -- Is the kind of politician.
Who -- promises on the record.
And then calls that the records from.
But -- -- four years into this presidency.
The issue is not the economy that Barack Obama inherited.
Not the economy that he envisions.
But this economy that we are -- How -- -- Jewish should not have to live out their twenties in their childhood bedrooms.
Staring up -- saving Obama posters I'm wondering.
Everyone who feels stuck in the Obama economy is right to focus on the here -- now.
And I hope you understand this too.
If you are feeling left out -- passed by.
You have not -- -- -- leaders have failed you.
None of us a.
None of us.
Should have to settle.
For the best this administration offers.
A -- it then Jewish journey from one entitlement to the next.
A government -- life.
A country where everything is free but us.
Listen to the way we -- spoken -- already.
As if everyone is stuck in some class or station in life.
Victims of circumstances beyond our control.
With the government there to help us cope with our fate.
It's the exact opposite.
Of everything I learned growing up in Wisconsin or -- college in Ohio.
And -- When I was waiting tables.
Washing dishes -- mowing -- for money.
I never thought of myself is stuck in some station in life.
I was on my own -- My own journey here in American journey.
Were I could think for myself decide for myself.
Define happiness for myself that's what we doing this country.
-- other central planners.
By themselves.
The failures of one administration are not a mandate for a new administration.
A challenger.
Must stand on his own merits.
You must be ready and worthy to serve in the office of president.
We're a full generation apart governor Romney -- -- -- in some ways we're different.
There -- -- songs and his iPod which I've heard on the campaign bus.
And I've heard -- on many hotel elevators.
He actually.

But not in any of the things that matter.
Mitt Romney and I both grew up in the heartland.
And we know what places like Wisconsin and Michigan look like -- times.
Like when times are good.
When people are working.
When families are doing more than just getting by.
And we know what can be that way again.
We've had very different careers mine mainly in public service is mostly in the private sector.

Being successful and business that's a good thing.
And I.

But he succeeded where others could not he turned around the Olympics at a time and a great institution was collapsing.
Under the weight of bad management.
Over spending and corruption.
Sounds kind of familiar doesn't it -- He was the Republican governor of a state -- almost nine and ten legislators are Democrats.
And yet.
He balanced the budget without raising taxes.

Not only a defender of marriage he exam he offers an example of marriage it is best.
Not only a -- this -- man.
He's a fine man.
Worthy of leading this optimistic and good hearted country.
Our face come together.
In the same moral creed.
We believe.
That and every life there is goodness.
For every person there is hope.
Each one of us.

Bearing the image and likeness of the lord of life.
We have responsibilities.
One to another.
We do not each face the world alone.
In the greatest of all responsibilities.

It's how it treats those.

They are self evident -- unchanging.
And sometimes.
Even presidents need reminding me.
That our rights come from nature and god and not from the founding generation secure those rights for us.
And in every generation since the best among us have defended our freedoms they are protecting us right now.
We honor them in all of our veterans and we -- them.
The rights.
That makes all the difference now.
Is the right to choose our own leaders.
In U.

To the clearest.
Possible choice.
Because the time for choosing is drawing near.
So here is our pledge.
We will not duck the tough species we believe.
We will not spend the next four years -- others we will take responsibility.
We will not try to replace our founding principles.
We will re apply our founding principles.

We can make a safety net.
It's safe again.

And then bitch and complain about how they should have had the whole week off?

I hope Malone takes a leak on Howard's console. And leaves a steaming pile of shit in Howard's private toilet . . .
I am curious to see if staff members have been cut. Production budget was controlled by Sirius in the first contract and I assume the it's the same case for the second contract.
Who really cares at this point if he comes in or not ? If it wasn't for the listening thread I probably wouldn't listen at all.
he will be complaining on Monday because he would have to stay in the city over the weekend because he will only have 2 days off before returning back to work and he will be all cranky
This is probably the one thing that pisses me off most about Howard.
Nevermind being a gazillionaire and living in one of the fanciest pads in Manhattan.
But you only work 3 days a week at most for 4 hours and you are driven to work in a limo
when you only live 10 blocks from your work place.
This guy is truly, truly fucked in the head.
No wonder his children want nothing to do with him.
Please don't cock block me on Twitter
his effort will be a two, and his bitching will be a noine.
The job post for an associate producer on the Stern show is still up on the Sirius site - wonder who's leaving or if there's actually $ for a new hire (though I can't think of what another person would do).
He'll make it seem as if he's doing you a huge favor working Thursday & Friday. He'll call it "Bonus Shows" to his sheep . . .

Climate Change - A Programme of Research for the UK Water Industry: Volume 1 - Summary Report
Price: £100
Ref: 08/CL/01/7
Published: 2008
This report provides a first climate-related snapshot looking across the UK water industry and out to 2100. It identifies where significant uncertainties in the climate science remain, the nature and extent of impact and business risks, adaptation options, and where there are critical knowledge gaps and capactiy within the industry.
A long term, integrated, forward looking programme of climate change research needs is recommended that will allow the industry to put in place a sustrainable response to adapting to climate change and for the industry to develop a 'one voice' approach that will underpin the development of strategies by individaul companies.
The report is in two volumes: this summary report (Volume 1) of the issues and the proposed programme of research needed to meet those issues; and a detailed technical report (Volume 2) which is attached to Volume 1 on CD-ROM.

Dont know if we could hit 0.1 GRPS (gigarand > per second), but I bet it could come pretty close. As I said, it isn't as easy as it sounds to generate truly random numbers. Pseudorandom yes, but there I can generate immediate data (from my dieharder program, for example) on how fast you can make them. On a dual 242 Opteron, for example, using the mt19937_1999 generator (one of the best, fastest rngs from the GSL) I get roughly 50 MegaRPS per processor, or 100 MRPS total. Generators of comparable or a bit better quality tend to run just a bit slower to a lot slower. The built in /dev/random entropy generator in linux is VERY slow and blocks when there is insufficient entropy. /dev/urandom doesn't block, is quite unpredictable, but is STILL very, very slow at less than a MROPS on nearly any modern hardware. This gives you some idea of how difficult it is to get 100 MRPS rates on ANY sort of hardware, even with pseudorandom number generators. Hardware generators have the same issues. Radioactivity based generators need to be pretty damn hot to generate 3.2 random gigabits per second. Photon counters have all sorts of hardware response time issues (and tend not to be as poissonian/random as you might think, see Hanbury-Brown-Twiss or computations of antibunching in the fluorescent spectrum). "Entropy" based generators can be OK, but again, it is difficult to know all the timescales of decay/decorrelation of all aspects of order, as nearly ALL hardware based sources are not independent random for very short times -- rather you hope that they have "only" relatively short autocorrelation times and don't sample them too often. This is one of the things I might be working on a bit over the next year, and is one reason I started working on dieharder (the tool I use both to measure their quality of randomness, so to speak, and to time them as well). > I have been thinking about a USB dongle for the past few months that > provided random ints at a pretty nice rate.

FIRST you have to come up with a design, THEN you have to build a prototype and test it. Chances are that when you test it you'll find that while perhaps (if you're lucky) it is unpredictable, it isn't "uniformly random" at the bit level. After all, plenty of things sample a random DISTRIBUTION (say a Gaussian) that is unpredictable but not uniform. Then you get to look for transformations that will take your non-uniform random distribution and make it uniform at the bit level. Typically this will cost you bits -- for example, if your original distribution has a bias in its 0 vs 1 numbers you can combine pairs of bits to create a distribution that is uniform in 0 and 1. Then you have to look at 00, 01, 10, and 11 -- do they all occur binomially distributed (on average) with p = 0.25? How about 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111 with p = 0.125? Etc. (I find that NO pseudorandom number generators I've tested have the right six or greater bit distribution, that is, 000000, 000001, 000010, ... are not each binomially distributed with p = 1/64 in a very large bit sample.) Eventually you get it to pass diehard (and maybe even dieharder) at the expense of many bits and much consequent halving of the peak rates. If it is STILL really fast -- 100 MROPS is a good thing to shoot for as it is the equivalent of a dedicated dual opteron THEN you can look for a bus and market. Not easy at all. Or cheap. Intel and other companies have long been looking for a good way of doing this, and if you find one (especially one that could be incorporated on a single chip) you can probably sell it directly to them and retire. rgb -- Robert G.

Flat Stanley finds a surprise on the campus of Portland State.
A couple of weeks ago, Flat Stanley took a Saturday ride with "Miss Edna," Duncan and me in the Buick. We didn't have a specific destination, just out for a ride through downtown, looking for interesting spots to visit. By the time we had made it to the PSU campus--Portland State University--I despaired of ever finding a parking spot. That's when one beside a campus high rise appeared before my very eyes, like magic! Well, what really happened was I saw a car's brake lights flash as the driver put his foot on the brake right before starting the motor. Flat Stanley yelled, "Yippee!" as I parked the car.
"Miss Edna" and Duncan waited in the car while Flat Stanley and I walked a little while on the campus of Oregon's only public state university located in a major metropolitan city. More students are enrolled at PSU than in any university in the state. You can read all about the school here.
Flat Stanley liked the leaves here in the South Park Blocks, an area twelve blocks long that goes from I-405 north to SW Salmon. I found this about the South Park Blocks at Portland's Parks and Recreation Web site: a cathedral of trees with a simple floor of grass. That's a wonderful description of the narrow park, but in the autumn after the leaves start to fall, you could change it to a floor of leaves. Flat Stanley pointed out that when the leaves have been raked and put into big bags--or however the City of Portland gets rid them--then the floor of grass would show up again. He's right, too! Both of us wonder what happens to all of the leaves once they're collected. Maybe we'll go back sometime and see some sort of clue. If you know, you could tell us by leaving a Comment.
Next Flat Stanley cried, "What's that?" and took off diagonally toward the street and an old house on the corner. He climbed up for a closer look.
I explained that these quadruple water fountains are known as Benson Bubblers. Flat Stanley laughed at that!
Here's the story of how the water fountains came to exist and how they got that name, according to the City of Portland's Web site :
In 1912, Simon Benson, lumberman and civic leader, commissioned 20 drinking fountains with a $10,000 gift. He wanted to offer loggers something cold on the streets to quench their thirst. Benson once said that after the fountains were installed, saloon sales decreased 40%. The first Benson was installed at SW Fifth and Washington.
A. E. Doyle, architect of the Multnomah County Library and the Meier & Frank Building, designed the graceful bronze four-bowls.
By 1917, the City had installed 40 fountains - known as Benson Bubblers - throughout downtown. There are now 52 Benson Bubblers (four-bowl fountains). The fountains have timers so they flow freely from 5 am to 10 pm daily.
In 2005 the Portland Water Bureau installed small flow-restricting devices in the Benson bubblers to reduce the amount of water that each fountain uses. The devices do not affect the physical appearance of the fountains, but they reduce the amount of water the fountains use by 47 percent while maintaining adequate flow and pressure for drinking. The fountains use less than 1/10 of 1 percent of Portland's daily water demand.
On another Web site I found another legend about what made Benson donate the money for the water fountains--he saw a little girl crying at a parade because she was thirsty. Flat Stanley thinks maybe a girl thought up that legend. What do you think? You can tell Flat Stanley what you think--just leave a Comment for him.
When I read out loud the sign to the right of the steps up to the porch, we learned that this particular Benson Bubbler stands in front the Simon Benson House, now the home of the PSU Alumni Association and the campus Visitor Center--it was closed, doggone it.
After we got back to the apartment, we Googled and found out that the Queen Anne style house had been built by Benson in 1900 at the corner of SW 11th and Clay. Flat Stanley and I wish we had been there January 16, 2000, when the house was moved two blocks west and three blocks south to its current address, 1803 SW Park. That would have been cool! We decided it probably took a long time to move a whole house at once. We would have taken a folding lawn chair so we could sit back and enjoy the action. Slow and steady action, but that wins the race--remember the tortoise and the hare? Or is it the turtle and the rabbit these days? At my age, I prefer the tortoise and the hare.
You can see a picture of the whole house and read more about it here. There's a nifty photo and information about Simon Benson here. He also built the Benson Hotel in 1912--"Miss Edna" and I stayed there in the summer and at Christmas in 2004. I told Flat Stanley that I need to remember to take him to the lobby at Christmas so that he can see the gingerbread village and the great big Christmas tree. He agreed!

Flat Stanley is quite a traveller. i am glad he is taking you to see all those cool places on his vespa.
I thinkk the leaves are probably used as mulch. That's what they do here with them. And that what we do with the Christmas trees when they have served their time. - November 3, 2007 at 11:10 PM

This is such a cute entry. With so much info and lovely photos too.
Oh and did Flat Stanley like that beautiful balcony, over the house entrance? Maybe it's actually a little upper porch. But I love balconies so much, that I *say* it's an extended balcony. :-)

Great stories of Flat Stanley's adventures. Fantastic photos and information in your blog.
I really like the first photo where Flat Stanley is by his Vespa bike on the steps.
Thanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog.
To answer some of your questions about my Saturday blog - all of the other boats were pulled out of the water by their owners weeks ago (usually around Thanksgiving - Columbus Day in USA) before the cold and the snow starts to fly.
Even with the stormy weather there are still some fishermen that go out to catch fish but since the fishing season ended on Lake Nipissing Oct 16 and won't reopen until Jan 1, not too many people go out on the lake after Oct 16. But come Jan. 1 that changes as long as the ice is thick enough to go ice-fishing (I'll try to post some photos later in the year). - November 4, 2007 at 9:07 PM

- Quartier
Alentours de l'appartement Puerta del Sol, it's perfect! dans le quartier CentroPuerta del Sol It is the best place to start the visit. "Puerta del Sol" is the downtown and the busiest square in Madrid. This is the centre of the radial network of the Spanish roads. In the oldest building in the square is the famous clock, whose bells mark the traditional eating of the Twelve Grapes and the beginning of a New Year. It has been broadcast live since 1962. Not far from it, just 5 minutes walking, it is the long and always crowded Gran Vía Street: "The place that never sleeps". During the day there are many people buying in the numerous shops; at nights people enjoy the lively Spanish nightlife. Close to "Puerta del Sol" there are many places that must be visited, such as Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral or Plaza Mayor. Some restaurants we recommend are: - LHARDY, Carrera de San Jerómico 8: A mecca of Spanish culinary tradition, with restaurant upstairs and a tapas bar and grocery store downstairs. -La Mallorquina, Calle Mayor 2: This pastry/café on the Puerta del Sol is the city`s most famous. Their star dish is the "napolitana" -La Tintoreria, near to Puerta del Sol, Espoz y Mina, 18: With a rustic decoration located in a cave. They have clasic spanish kictchen with their personal touch. -Café de Oriente, Plaza Café de Oriente 2: Magnificent terrace facing the Palacio Real. The interior, with large windows and red sofas, makes it a comfy place to stop. -Mercado de San Miguel.It is located in the Plaza de San Miguel. It´s impossible to visit Madrid without buying some pata negra ham, olive oil and other local specialties. This entirely renovated market, open till midnight, is the place to find them. -Taberneros, Calle Santiago 9. People folck here more for huge variety of delicious pinchos than for restaurants. The wine list is extensive.
