The Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a letter to the Superintendent of the Morehouse Parish Schools over concerns about a teacher's reaction to the exclusion of prayer at commencement this Friday, May 20, at Bastrop High School in Bastrop, La. After graduating senior Damon Fowler complained to the superintendent about the prayer being illegally scheduled for commencement, school officials properly dropped the prayer from the ceremony. The Bastrop Daily Enterprise quote English teacher Mitzi Quinn saying that in the past, non-Christian students "had no problems" with prayer, adding, "They respected the majority of classmates and didn't say anything." Quinn added, "And what's even more sad is this is a student who really hasn't contributed anything to graduation or to their classmates." (Damon never had a class with this teacher.)
In FFRF's letter, FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt asked for disciplinary action to be taken against Ms. Quinn, saying, "To openly state that this student hasn't contributed to his classmates is harsh, hurtful and clearly lessens the reputation of this student."
FFRF has offered Damon a $1,000 student activist award for his courage in speaking out for his and other students' rights. Local reaction towards him has been extremely hostile.
FFRF has very few members in North Louisiana, so it would be very helpful if the superintendent and school board members could hear from you even if you don't live in the area. It would also be helpful to send a supportive letter to the editor to the Bastrop Daily Enterprise.
It is unconstitutional for public schools to sponsor prayer at graduation ceremonies or other school events. School districts and their employees, including teachers, need to remain neutral toward religion. Ms. Mitzi Quinn's statements to the Bastrop Daily Enterprise are inappropriate and derogatory remarks towards a student who is protecting his constitutional rights. We want the school district to take all appropriate steps to make graduation a celebration for all students, including Damon.

College Dinner
Being Planned
Committees have been appointed
by the freshman class cabinet to
work out the details for the annual
sophomore-freshman class banquet,
which will be held May 25 at the
Commodore hotel, St. Paul.
Gene Nyman, president, and
his cabinet are in charge of ar-rangements.
They have four
committees with twelve mem.
bers assisting them.
The program committee is head-ed
by Dale Bjork. His assistants
are Marjorie Lundholm and Archie
Johnson. The menu committee is
composed of Arlene Johnson, chair-man,
Lorine Chance, and Miriam
Johanson. The tickets will be sold
by Gunnar Hoglund, Doris Molan-der,
and Warren Dahlstrom. Deco-rations
are in charge of Betty Dan-ielson,
Chairman, Louise Joonson,
and Sara Mae Swenson.
"A ruling was made by the
cabinet that one member of
each couple must be a College
student," Nyman disclosed.
"This eliminates any couples
who have no relationship with
the Junior College."
Several men have been contacted
as speaker for the occasion, Bjork
said. However, no definite arrange-ments
have been released as yet by
the committees.

Musings of the Editor after Eight Months
This is an editorial, but don't be afraid of it. We want you to read
what we have to , say about our student publications. Of course, this is
an unorthodox method of newspaper work. However, this subject of the
welfare of our publications is a serious consideration to us.
Why should we spend an amount totaling $900 for our publications
this year (about $350, for the CLARION and about $550 for the SPIRE)?
Is there not responsibility in getting the most amount of good for this
sum of money?
Again, why should the editors and business managers spend hours of
work and carry a load of worry and planning to publish these literary
works? What is gained by taking this responsibility?
In other words, why should we publish a school newspaper and a
Before we give valid reasons defending our work, permit us to ac-knowledge
our limitations and failures. We realize all our shortcomings.
Four handicaps that we have faced have been: (1) meager finances—
we must work with the bare necessities. If we had thel allotment, we
should make our publications larger and more frequent and include more
pictures. (2) We are limited by time to follow up good stories and to
write readable human-interest features. More available hours would pro-duce
better work. (3) We are also weakened by our insufficient abilities.
With no journalism department in our curriculum, we can hardly be
doing the best. (4) Again, we have been hampered by Bethel's philo-sophy
(or ideas) concerning publications and news value of events.
Often we are confronted with the situation of being unable to uncover
the details of a story or find there have been no plans made for a pend-ing
event. Yes, we fully realize that there is much room for improve-ment
in our publications.
However, we can point out some ends that we are meeting, a justi-fication
of our work. Our answer to the question, "Why publish a
CLARION and SPIRE?" is three-fold: (1) we inform the students of
school activities in so far as we can cover the news; (2) we provide
reading material for the students' enjoyment; and (3) the work furnishes
excellent training for the staff. Do our readers realize that our publi-cations
are the only wholly student projects on the campus? Although
we give credit to our excellent faculty advisers, the planning from be-ginning
to end is carried out by the student management. This is the
best creative training that our extra-curricular activities offer.
After serving you for the year 1939-1940 in this editorial capacity, we
have several suggestions that we should like to pass on to the Bethel
student body and future editors. However, let us first ennumerate
briefly our accomplishments this year. We have substantially enlarged
the CLARION; we give you more news for your money. We are ex-perimenting
in the production of a SPIRE which we feel will be an im-provement
over those of other years; we hope it will meet your satis-faction
when it is released. Lastly, we have instituted and developed a
Student Publications department. This is significant, 4or we now co-ordinate
the work of our paper and yearbook.
Our suggestions for the future begin at this point: we believe that
the Student Publications department should be continued. There are
good opportunities in such a working relationship. The ideal thing would
be to elect a student director of this department each year. Some one
with the ability to manage the editorial and business ends of our publi-cations
would be able to do more good for the whole.
Another feasible solution to our coordination .problem would be the
appointment of a faculty adviser .whose sole responsibility in the extra-curricular
activities would be the overseeing of this ,,work. Such a per-son
would be able to continue the work and ideas gained from year to
year. Much efficiency and improvement is lost under the present sys-tem.
(These last two paragraphs have perhaps been more idealistic than
practical. It is not every student who has the time or inclination to be
directing the publications. And our faculty members are seemingly en-gaged
in all that they can give their attentions to now. Some of the
other suggestions I have are more workable.)
Briefly, more money should be allowed and raised for the publica-tions.
The editors and business managers should be given either some re-muneration
or be put on N.Y.A. time. Other schools do it. A person
has a certain amount of expenditures, and time spent working can not be

By GUNNAR HOGLUND
A newspaper column that is read regularly by Bethel students is the
section entitled "Bethel Institute," found in both the Baptist Evangel
and the Svenska Standaret. Each week, interesting and timely comments
about our school are found in these columns, whose author is none other
than our genial and quiet-mannered Christian-worker instructor, Prof. A.
J. Wingblade.
Wingblade reports that writing these columns is
only a side interest and that his real activity is teach-ing
and church work.
He was born and lived in Kansas until he gradu-ated
from high school. He attended. William Jewell
college in Liberty, Missouri, where he earned both
an A. B. and a master's degree. Later, he continued
his course of study at the University of Chicago and
the Minnesota state university. Upon leaving the
latter school, he came to Bethel, serving as an in-structor
in the academy for several years and then
as principal for 21 years. At present, he teaches
classes in the Christian workers' department and a
Greek class in the Seminary.
Wingblade finds much attraction in his church work at Elim Baptist
in Minneapolis, where he has been Sunday-school superintendent for
several years. His main hobby, he says, is calling on unchurched families.
As for athletics, his principal diversion is found in taking long walks.
He believes that every person should have some outdoor diversion to
promote and maintain a strong and healthy body.,
One of Wingblade's strong interests, also, is his home with his wife
and two children.

The Power of His Resurrection
Phil. 3:10-14
Paul teaches a truth here that we
often neglect to apply to our lives.
In the Montgomery Centennary
translation we read the words, "I
long to know him in the power of
his resurrection."
Paul longs to know, each day, the
power of the resurrection of Jesus
in his life. To know the power of
His resurrection we must die, and
so Paul writes, "I die daily." Self
must die daily that the power of
the resurrection might be made
manifest in our lives.
The reason for this desire of his
personal "death and suffering" is
stated in the next verse: "If by
any means I might attain unto the
resurrection of the dead." (v. 11.)
If by ANY means, death, suffering,
hardship, or victory; any means I
might be used to the resurrection
of some lost soul, dead in sin.
Paul, the mighty preacher and
Christian worker, said that he had
not even started or attained one
thing in this direction (v. 13). The
only thing that Paul had gained
was the ability of forgetting the
things that were passed. Thus, for-getting
the hardships; the suffer-ings;
yea, even the victories; Paul
would press on to the goal of the
High Calling of Christ Jesus; that
calling of soul-winning.
Oh! that we might all forget
those things which are passed, and
long to know the power of His res-urrection
in our lives, raising some
soul dead in sin, to life eternal, and
to know this power daily.
—George W. Ohsberg.
Today I led a blind, man,
And the lesson taught to me,
Was more valuable and meaningful
Than I'd learn from those who see.
I saw the faltering footsteps—
The hesitating tread;
I felt his hand oft tighten
As forward he was led.
And every step by faith he took,
He'd placed his trust in me;
And though his eyes were blinded
He knew that I could see.
Lord, lead me just as I led him;
I place my trust in Thee,
I'll follow where Thou leadest
For I know that Thou canst see.
—Helen Sorensen.
Outing Planned
As Senior Function
The eleven austere Seminary sen-iors
will adjourn to the home of
Orville Johnson near Cambridge
for a class picnic on Wednesday,
May 15.
Fishing and recreation will occu-py
their attentions for the after-noon
and evening.
The class also held a snow party
in January.
Imagine the thrill your reporter
had when he was accorded the op-portunity
of interviewing one of
Bethel's promising young women
last Thursday at 1:05 p. m. In the
few moments she gave me, she ex-pressed
her views on several points
of interest.
Bethel's prospective preachers
should also be enheartened, for she
gave them her hearty commenda-tion.
When asked what she thought
of women pastors, she replied that
she thought they were fine. How-ever,
she would rather have a stu-dent
pastor from Bethel. (Ed. note:
No wonder our fellow students get
along so well in their churches if
this is a general viewpoint.)
"Miss Bethel" intimated that her
ambition in life was to be a "P.W."
(a pastor's wife). Her choice was
to become associated with the Lu-theran
Church through a young
man in Duluth by the name of
I then asked her if she were com-ing
back to Bethel next year. She
said, "No." Why? "Because I didn't
get a man." And what would you
do with two men? "Oh, I enjoy a
good fight," she said.
I wanted to know what she
thought about the "J. S." "Oh, I
can hardly wait," she replied ex-citedly.
Because she happens to
be going with an out-of-town date,
she said that she had had to turn
down invitations from six or seven
of Bethel's best men.
In reply to a question about the
national elections next Fall, she
said she thought that Gracie Allen
should be elected President of this
country, because this nation needs
a woman President, she said.
"Let There Be Love" was given
as her favorite song.
Oh, yes, the interviewee was
Marjorie Jacobson of Duluth.

Thrills With Byrd
To Be Told
By Dorothy Webster
Have you a secret yen to be an
explorer? Do you crave adventure?
You'll be thrilled by the vivid story
of exploration to be presented by
"Bud" Waite, radio operator and
electrician of the "Ice" Party at
Little America, Friday, May 17, in
the College chapel.
He will bring an illustrated ac-count
of the thrilling, dangerous,
and gruelling experiences of the re-cent
Byrd Antarctic expedition. He
will tell 'how 56 men wintered on a
giant ice cake, how four men were
confined to the limits of a 9x13
foot shack for two months under
the snow, and how the "Command-er"
took up his lone vigil to main-tain
the southernmost weather sta-tion
of the world throughout the
dread four-month antarctic night.
He will display actual furs and
equipment used on this hazardous
trip. Also present will be "Ginger,"
his famous sledge-dog.
This lecture is the last of the
Chautauquan programs scheduled
for the current school and will be
sponsored by the Sophomore class.

Yearlings Gather
For Social Affairs
Some 50 sophomores, guests, and
faculty members, gathered in the
College Coffee Shoppe to dine at
the annual sophomore dinner party,
April 26.
Grant Samuelson was toastmas-ter.
Responses were given by Olga
Anderson, Donald Johnson, class
president, and Viola Waihela. Ethel
Ruff was the main speaker.
The motif of the banquet was a
take-off on Edward Spenser's
"Fairie Queene" with the theme
stated as "Miss America vs. Chival-ry."
(Ed. note: If the men learned
nothing about etiquette and what
the Bethel women think of their
male escorts, it will not be the fault
of these who gave toasts.)
Joyce Johnson was head of the
program committee which planned
the evening's entertainment. Nov-elty
musical numbers were given
by Robert Paulson, Sidney Carlson,
Walter Julien, Ethel rIlederman,
Grace Widen, and Dean Nordell.
The sophomore class was also
entertained yesterday by Dean Em-ery
Johnson and his wife at their
lake cottage. The party was sched-uled
for 4 p. m.

Staff's Work
Production of the 1940 SPIRE is
progressing in a favorable manner.
The yearbook will be ready for re-lease
about June 1.
This year's annual is a con-siderable
improvement over
those of former years. The
book will be about double in
size, and it will contain many
interesting feature pages.
Carol Jane Engwall and her staff
are putting in many hours working
out the best book that they can.
Cliff Bjorklund has been doing the
photography on the campus. Con-stance
Swanson, Art editor, is do-ing
some excellent work.
Contracts for the work have
been let to the Anderson Press
of Minneapolis and the Em-pire
Engraving company. Fav-orable
bids were submitted by
these houses. Already, about
a half of the book has been
If any students or faculty mem-bers
are still tardy on their pay-ments,
they are advised to make
arrangements for their SPIRE im-mediately.
Glenn Anderson and his
business staff, with the coopera-tion
of the student body, have been
able to raise the necessary amount
of money to publish the yearbook.
The staff has been working three
months, and by the time the book
is completed untold hours of work
will have been put into the publi-cation.
However, the staff will
have felt their contribution worth-while
if the SPIRE can add to the
progress and glory of Bethel.
Students Finish Church Trips

It looks as if Bethel's two basket-ball
stars, Don Johnson and Del
Peterson, may also prove to be out-standing
in this year's baseball
team. Peterson poled out a long
homer in the Blake game with one
mate on base. Johnson also socked
out a homer, but in his hurry to
rim the bases he failed to touch
third, so he was called out and only
credited with a two-bagger. He also
hit a three-bagger in the fourth in-ning.
Coach William Adam seems to
have a couple of pretty good fresh-man
prospects in Gene Nyman and
Red Marquardt. If Nyman can ad-just
himself to the pitching of the
conference chuckers, there is no
reason why he can't hold down a
regular berth in the infield. Mar-quardt
has already proven himself
one of the best hitters on the
squad. He is a good fielder too,
for he covers a lot of ground and
has a swell peg.
Coach seems to have another find
in Val Hauk. Hauk has had con-siderable
experience in Canadian
circles, but this is his first fling at
U. S. baseball. He has a beautiful
hook and really keeps the opposing
batters guessing.
Adam has quite a perplexing
problem in the backstop position.
Warren Johnson has all the fire and
fight that is needed for the spot,
but he is also one of the leading
hitters on the squad and Coach
Adam claims that his batting aver-age
will probably drop about 50 per
cent if he is kept behind the plate.
For that reason he may be moved
to an outfield position. Bloomquist
can fill the catching position, but
he has a weak peg to second, and
this may handicap the team's ef-fectiveness
when there are oppos-ing
men on the bases.
One of the weaknesses of this
year's squad is the lack of left-handed
hitters. Don Johnson is the
only man batting from the left side
of the plate, and since most of the
opposing pitchers will be right-handed

Scribe Tells
Of Prospect,
By BERNARD HAMMERBECK
Editorial Comment
(Continued from page 1)
devoted to something which would be more valuable. Our publications
could be much improved by that extra time.
The editors and business managers of the CLARION and SPIRE and
a student director should be elected, by all means, in the Spring for the
next year. All plans should be definitely formulated before school starts
in the Fall.
The editors and faculty adviser should have some way of exercising
authority over the staffs. The best way to obtain this would be by the
addition of a journalism course to the curriculum. This would also have
excellent advantages to prospective preachers, for they would be able
to get more newspaper publicity for their work later in life if they knew
the simple rules of journalistic writing. Such a course could be ,ar-ranged
perhaps with an instructor from a neighboring college. It would
greatly improve our work.
Lastly, we must come to the realization that the printed word still
wields a mighty influence in representing Bethel and our activities.
Radio and moving pictures are, of course, better; (however, neither are
practical for our purposes.) We see our national pictorial magazines and
their sales and reader value. If Bethel •publications used modern typogra-phy
techniques and layout methods, remarkable advantages could be ob-tained.
This has been a pleasant year for us, working for you. We thank all
who have cooperated: the staffs, the faculty members, our advisers,
Miss Platts and Dean Emery Johnson, our printer, John Anderson of the
Anderson Press, our business managers, Stanley Rendahl and Glenn An-derson,
-and all the students.
If placed into the right hands, the future of the Bethel CLARION and
SPIRE is bright. That is our fond expectation and hope.
The staffs of the Student Publications department join with the stu-dent
body and faculty members in extending our sincere sympathies to
Ned Holmgren and his mother at their recent bereavement.

News ReleaseView printer-friendly version << Back
Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Partnership to Support Uptake of EXPAREL® Among the Orthopedic Marketplace
Five-year arrangement with
Distributors representing several orthopedic manufacturers with
exclusive territory designations participated in a pilot program, which
began in
"The ability to provide patients with up to 72 hours of non-opioid
postsurgical pain control without the need for catheters or external
devices—which can limit mobility and delay the ambulation that we know
is critical to the rehabilitation process following orthopedic
procedures—makes EXPAREL an important option for patient care," said
Under the terms of the agreement, CrossLink is compensated on a variable
cost basis, based on performance in designated hospitals and geography,
reported monthly to Pacira. The parties may elect, by mutual agreement,
to add additional orthopedic distributors and/or geographies to the
five-year agreement. In addition, Pacira and Crosslink have mutual
termination rights under the agreement, with Pacira having unilateral
termination rights under certain circumstances. The agreement also
permits Pacira to terminate without cause effective
To further support this interest in EXPAREL among orthopedic surgeons,

About EXPAREL®
EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) is indicated for single-dose infiltration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia. The product combines bupivacaine with DepoFoam, a proven product delivery technology that delivers medication over a desired time period. EXPAREL represents the first and only multivesicular liposome local anesthetic that can be utilized in the peri- or postsurgical setting in the same fashion as current local anesthetics. By utilizing the DepoFoam platform, a single dose of EXPAREL delivers bupivacaine over time, providing analgesia with reduced opioid requirements for up to 72 hours. Pivotal studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of EXPAREL in patients undergoing bunionectomy or hemorrhoidectomy procedures and additional studies are underway to further demonstrate the safety and efficacy in other procedures. Additional information is available at www.EXPAREL.com.
Important Safety Information
EXPAREL is contraindicated in obstetrical paracervical block anesthesia. EXPAREL has not been studied for use in patients younger than 18 years of age. Non-bupivacaine-based local anesthetics, including lidocaine, may cause an immediate release of bupivacaine from EXPAREL if administered together locally. The administration of EXPAREL may follow the administration of lidocaine after a delay of 20 minutes or more. Other formulations of bupivacaine should not be administered within 96 hours following administration of EXPAREL. Monitoring of cardiovascular and neurological status, as well as vital signs should be performed during and after injection of EXPAREL as with other local anesthetic products. Because amide-type local anesthetics, such as bupivacaine, are metabolized by the liver, EXPAREL should be used cautiously in patients with hepatic disease. Patients with severe hepatic disease, because of their inability to metabolize local anesthetics normally, are at a greater risk of developing toxic plasma concentrations. In clinical trials, the most common adverse reactions (incidence greater-than or equal to 10%) following EXPAREL administration were nausea, constipation, and vomiting.
Please see the full Prescribing Information for more details available at http://www.exparel.com/pdf/EXPAREL_Prescribing_Information.pdf.

High Risk Rural Roads (HR3) Program
SAFETEA-LU (the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users) introduced a new safety program called the High Risk Rural Roads (HR3) Program. These provisions have been replaced by the new federal surface transportation act, "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century" (MAP-21), was signed into law on July 6, 2012. Under MAP-21, the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) remains as one of the core federal-aid programs. The High Risk Rural Roads (HR3) Program is part of the HSIP Program in MAP-21, not a set-aside as in the previous federal surface transportation act.
Only those roads that are functionally classified as rural major collector, rural minor collector, or rural local road are eligible within the HR3 Program.
For the 5-year funding duration under SAFETEA-LU (2004/2005 2008/2009), Caltrans solicited candidate HR3 projects twice. Click on the link below for a listing of approved projects.
Starting in 2012, Caltrans now combines the call for HSIP and HR3 projects. Information on HR3 eligible projects for 2012 or after is available on the HSIP website link, shown below.

text: California Dairy Organization Sponsors Whey-Value Legislative Bill December 7, 2012 12:32 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email Assembly Bill 31 was introduced on the state Assembly floor Monday. Source: Western United Dairymen news release Western United Dairymen is sponsoring a bill, introduced Monday in the California Legislature, that would more closely align the whey value in the California 4b formula with the regulated minimum price for whey found in surrounding states. The legislation follows up on the WUD board's action in October directing staff to develop language addressing the whey value issue and securing bipartisan support to successfully advance the bill in the California legislature. Assembly Bill 31 was introduced on the Assembly floor by Assemblyman Dr. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento.) "Dairy farmers produce products that are important to our health and California's economy," said Pan. "We need to ensure that dairy farmers can be paid for their products at rates that reflect their costs and the true market value of dairy products so California dairies can survive and create jobs in California." "As a legislator with a science background, I visited a dairy farm and saw the high level of technology and innovation used to produce safe, high quality milk, cheese and other dairy products," Pam added. "I am proud to partner with dairy farmers to author legislation so new, innovative uses of whey result in income for dairies to be competitive and expand the availability of dairy products." WUD President Tom Barcellos said, "Too many of our dairy families have fallen victim to a milk pricing formula that has failed to capture for producers the true value of the milk and its components in the face of extraordinary feed costs. California dairy families are very concerned about their future and have been voicing those concerns. We're all agreed on the need for action as soon as possible. Without dairy producers in business, California has little need for dairy processors." CEO Michael Marsh said initial reception to the proposed bill in the legislature has been very positive. "Hopefully, our groundwork and the highly regarded reputation Western United has built over the years in the Capitol will help us expedite passage and quickly attain a positive remedy to our 4b pricing dilemma," Marsh said. WUD is a voluntary membership organization representing more than 60% of the milk produced in California. Membership benefits include resources in labor law, environmental regulations and pricing issues. Members decide the direction of state and federal legislative efforts affecting the dairy industry.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
HOUSTON (AP) — A shooting on a Texas community college campus wounded three people Tuesday and sent students fleeing for safety as officials placed the campus on lockdown, officials said.
Harris County Sheriff's Maj. Armando Tello said authorities had detained a person of interest.
Authorities also thought there could be a second shooter, according to a law enforcement official in Washington who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the ongoing case.
The school's official Twitter feed said the shooting was between two people and that the situation was under control. It had issued an alert on its website earlier, telling students and faculty to take immediate shelter or avoid the campus.
Aerial footage from local television stations showed police cars and ambulances parked on the Lone Star College System campus about 20 miles north of downtown Houston. Emergency personnel could be seen tending to people on stretchers, while others ran from a building led by officers.
Melinda Muse, spokeswoman for the Harris County Health System, said two people were taken to Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital Emergency Center following the shooting.
Tello said three people were injured.
Cody Harris, 20, he said he was in a classroom with about six or seven other students waiting for a psychology class to start when he heard eight shots. He and other students looked at each other, said "I guess we should get out of here," and fled.
"I was just worried about getting out," Harris said. "I called my grandmother and asked her to pick me up."
The Lone Star College System has an enrollment of 90,000 students and six college campuses, according to its website.
Along with the college, four nearby schools in the Aldine Independent School District went into lockdown, a district spokesman said.
Lone Star student Daniel Flores, 19, said he was in a tutoring lab on the second floor doing homework when he heard six to seven shots.
"I didn't think they were shots," he said. "It sounded like someone was kicking a door."
About 60 people were in the lab, and they began running out of the room once they realized the sound was gunfire, he said. They fled to a nearby student services center, where authorities kept them there for about 30 minutes before letting them go.

This might've been a long time in coming, but here we are! My photography final went very well and I thought you'd like to see the product. I'm only posting 5/8 photos here, though, since content of the last three might bother some people. Let me know if I should put them up anyway. It's for your personal sensibilities that I don't.
My theme was the "Sexy Paradox," in the attractiveness has such a desperately wide spectrum that in one group of people, both extremes can be considered highly unattractive. That is, sexiness is entirely subjective. I know, not the most original topic, but I had a great time shooting and editing the photos with a bit of help from Daniel on some of them. Enjoy!

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Giant Food Distributor Failed to Remove Racist Imagery Even After Complaints, Federal Agency Charges
MASON CITY, Iowa - The MBM Corporation's food distribution facility in Mason City, Iowa, one of many operated by the company, violated the law when company officials failed to remove racist graffiti from the men's room even after receiving a complaint, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed in federal court on Sept. 25. (EEOC v. MBM Corporation, N. District Iowa No. 3:12-cv-03069-MWB, D. Judge Bennet.)
According to the allegations of EEOC's lawsuit, racist graffiti appeared in the men's room at the Mason City facility in mid-May 2011. The EEOC alleges that an employee complained to his supervisor about the graffiti and yet it remained visible for at least three months, even though MBM Corp. supervisors frequented the restroom.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The EEOC attempted to reach a voluntary settlement through its statutory conciliation process before filing suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, Civil Action No. 12-cv-3069. The EEOC is seeking injunctive relief to prevent future discrimination, as well as compensatory and punitive damages.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. The EEOC's Chicago District Office is responsible for processing discrimination charges, administrative enforcement, and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis. Further information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

Here's the story: Robert Frank and Tim Stebbins probably cared too much about the finances of their homeowners association, Sun City Anthem. Frank was first a resident agitator and then a board member. Stebbins was just a concerned resident.
Frank and Stebbins believed the board was piling up excess reserves — more than $3 million — when that money should have been returned to homeowners. Not returning it placed the money at risk of IRS tax liability, they insisted.
Frank and Stebbins built their case and then sought advice from friends in the legal community to avoid a boomerang lawsuit from the HOA board. They were advised to bring the issue to local law enforcement, meaning Henderson Police. Bad advice.
Frank and Stebbins accused two board members of "forgery" — essentially knowingly signing a false statement — which was probably also imprudent. According to a police affidavit, Frank told the investigator a "flagrantly false" board resolution related to the surplus was "used to deceive the community membership and government agencies concerning the improper disposition of millions of dollars of overcharged/surplus homeowner assessments."
After an investigation, Henderson Police exonerated the board members and then arrested … Frank and Stebbins.
Yes, they were arrested in 2010 for filing a "false report of a crime."
Henderson Police determined the board members didn't knowingly sign false documents and so couldn't be accused of forgery. Moreover, police said Frank and Stebbins had to have known their allegation was false and so should be prosecuted for filing a false police report.
Meanwhile, an IRS audit vindicated the claim of Frank and Stebbins that Sun City Anthem owes the U.S. Treasury more than $1 million for not returning it to the homeowners.
An administrative appeal to the IRS was denied, but negotiations with the government to find a resolution are ongoing, according to current HOA board President Jim Long. The tax liability is roughly $1.35 million, he said.
Regardless, at least for now, it seems Frank and Stebbins were right that Sun City faced a tax liability by not returning the excess dues of homeowners.
Attorneys for Frank and Stebbins successfully had the venue of the case changed because a member of the HOA board was also a substitute Henderson judge.
So, North Las Vegas City Attorney Jeffrey Barr prosecuted the case, until recently dropping it.
Through a spokeswoman, Barr sent me a brief statement: "It was in the interest of justice that the North Las Vegas city attorney decide not to move forward with this case."
Thankfully, this puts an end to it.
Frank is a 72-year-old retired Air Force Colonel who said he'd never had a speeding ticket before this ordeal.
Stebbins is a 73-year-old retired salesman of analytical instrumentation and laboratory robotics.
Frank said when the pair were arrested they were stripped to undergarments and left in handcuffs for four hours while other alleged criminals were processed. "And for what? To scare a couple old guys?" he exclaimed, suddenly choked with emotion.
There are good reasons we have laws against filing false police reports, which waste law enforcement resources and can besmirch the good name of innocent persons. And I can see ignoring Frank and Stebbins or sending them off to the IRS to make their complaint. But prosecuting them? This seems to be a curious use of government resources.

In Part I of The Power of Visualization I emphasized the need to visualize and how it can help you to be more effective in your work. In this blog post we will look at the tools and methods per activity and object type.
Ideas & Insights
Key point here is that whatever tool you use, make sure it is easy and fast in producing results. Idea generation is all about quantity and divergence and not about details. Pen & paper are ideal. Buy a couple of nice fine liners and markers in different colors and teach yourself some basic sketching techniques to become more effective. Scan or photograph your drawings for reuse in presentations or sharing online. PNG is a good image format for drawings as it combines the strengths of both JPEG (gradients) and GIF (solid fills).
If the ideas yet need to surface, you may want to use visualization tools to create & structure those, together with their associations. Mind maps are commonly used. The benefit over linear lists is that mind maps visualize the ideas in a radial manner which encourages users to diverge and connect ideas. Check out Mindmeister, Bubbl, mind42 and Freemind. The first three are web based, the latter is an opensource Java client application. The image below was produced in Mindmeister.
Design & Development
In this stage you have already filtered out the ideas that won't work and want to add more detail to the few that remain. In most cases this will mean that you need to start drawing wireframes. These are skeleton-style representations of pages, tables, forms etc. that show in low fidelity what elements a page needs to contain and how the interaction works. Esthetics are of less importance here. Making things too pretty can even work against you. Having said that,I have to admit that I am violating the rules of good wireframing sometimes as I tend to add lots of detail and even graphical design in early wireframes. The reason why I do this is that I am a strong believer that you can iterate function and form in the same cycles. The drawback is that you'll need to be skilled in at least basic graphical design and proficient in a tool that allows you to do so (e.g. Photoshop or Illustrator). If this is not the case then this approach will be too elaborate and frustrating. Good looking wireframes can also be misleading for your stakeholders as you'll shift the focus to the looks rather than the functionality of your concepts. You want to discuss functionality in this stage, not looks. The image below shows an example of a typical wireframe, produced in OpenOffic.org. It's great to see how the essence of the idea was preserved in later iterations.
You can also mix existing screen elements (such as a browser frame) with hand drawing.
There is a plethora of tools at your disposal for creating wireframes. Powerpoint is great and super simple. Of that same company, there is a product called Visio that I hate but need to mention as it is still the standard in wireframe land. It produces neat wireframes but you can hardly add interactivity and the GUI feels very 1999. I prefer Axure (client install) and a new kid on the block called Balsamiq (web based) that produces very smart looking wireframes (see image below) using a library of pre-sketched components. I have not used Justinmind yet but it is supposed to be a very extensive wireframing / development tool that supports business logic. I recently came across a new web based (Flash) tool called Flairbuilder and like it very much. For Mac the standard is Omnigraffle.
Data visualization is an art and profession in itself but let me point you to a few resources and tricks that you perhaps had not heard of. Books: a classic about data visualization is Edward Tufte's The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. More specific and very relevant for ERP is Information Dashboard Design. It reveals all tricks you need to design state of the art KPI-O-Meters.
Google has made it very easy to create charts via Google Docs. The cool thing is that you can use them elsewhere (blog, web page, portal). Using Google Gadgets, you can even create Hans Rosling style animated charts, of which I was raving in my last post. The Motion Chart gadget uses five dimensions in a single chart and can be fed with your own Google Doc spreadsheet. Below an example I did. It shows sales, profit and order volume per customer over time. Till now you can only use them in iGoogle (hence the screenshot) but I expect that it can soon be used more ubiquitously. Other great visualization tools online are Zoho Reports and IBM's Many Eyes.
Process modeling or visualization in its essence comprises of labeled boxes and arrows to connect them. Most presentation software does boxes and arrows so for the odd process flow chart you don't have to look further than Powerpoint or its opensource sibling OpenOffice.org's Impress.
For more advanced modeling it is recommended to use dedicated software. Four examples, from simple & cheap to complex & expensive:
Lovely Charts is an easy to use application but it's still suprisingly powerful. You can create flow charts, sitemaps and even basic wireframes. It is web-based and the basic version is free.
We used BizAgi for the modeling of the most common ERP business processes. It uses the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). There is a 30-day trial and it only runs on Windows.
Intalio|Designer is is a good open source alternative to BizAgi. It is built on top of Eclipse.
On the high end of the spectrum there are the modeling tools that are part of a development suite, such as IBM Rational Software Modeler. It uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and it does the activity diagram, which is the most suitable UML asset for flow modeling. For most users however, software such as IBM Rational Software Modeler is too complex and too expensive.
Pretty Products & Presentation
This is the toughest one. I want you to create pretty stuff. I want you to pay attention to visual details in everything you do, from writing an email, creating a Powerpoint, to designing a customized entry screen for your client. "I am not a designer" is no excuse really for not doing it. There are plenty of tools out there that make life easy on the visual part but the real difference you make by following a set of basic rules. You can use them all the time since almost all artefacts you create at work are things that will be looked at by a spoiled audience.
- Audience. This one is too easy but therefore not of less importance: understand your audience and design for them. A presentation for developers should look different than one for marketeers. A toddler prefers other colors than an 80 year old.
- Images instead of words. Many great presenters use extremely simple slide material with little text and lots of imagery. Photos are used in abundance to capture attention and set the tone, text is used to emphasize what is said. In What Marketers Should Know About Design Research, Ekaterina Khramkova manages to take you through an 88 slides long presentation without ever boring you. In fact, the slides are so clear and enticing that you can easily consume it without the audio. You can do the same. Grab a catchy photo that represents the story you are telling and use some bullets to mark the most important points your are making. Be careful not to use photos that carry copyright. Deviantart and Creative Commons are sites with lots of art work that can be used freely but always check the terms. In case of doubt, just contact the artist and ask for permission. You can also create your own material of course.
- Layout, typography & consistency. Think about the layout before you begin. Pick a limited palette of colors, pick one (or two) fonts and styles. Choose alignment, where to drop your images and when to use bold. Well, all has been said before but not all is applied by all. When you don't feel comfortable, let your in-house designer or someone in marketing look at what you are doing.
- Uniqueness. You want people to remember your presentation or product. Surprise, provoke, be unique. Boring is the worst of sins. Pretty is better than ugly and ugly is better than boring. You should check out TED's presentations frequently anyway but this presentation by Seth Godin hits the nail on the head.
Collaboration & Community
Now you want to share all that beauty with the world. You don't want to email your visuals around because that means they will have a life span comparable to door-to-door print advertisment and will fall into oblivium. In case of a design process, you will not be able to document the chronological progress which is crucial in the story telling of how you got to the final solution and why which decisions were made. What is needed is a web-based platform where visual material can be uploaded with ease and viewed by all. Ideally viewers can collaborate by adding comments, annotations and so on. Privacy settings can also be important in case you want to share your work only with a selected group of people.
For the design work of the next generation GUI of Openbravo ERP I have been using Picasa web albums. Annotating is not possible unfortunately and commenting is quite basic but it is rock solid, fast and easy. Flickr offers a similar service. They have added a lot of features lately, including annotations. The drawback of both is that they don't do versioning. A later version of an image will be added to the collection, rather than replacing the previous version. This protects you from cheating with the historical progress tracking but at times it would be great just to be able to replace an image without having to delete the old one and losing its target URL. If you know of any site that does versioning, please let me know.
Both Thinkature and Conceptshare are more advanced visual communication tools that let you collaborate in realtime around a design concept. Jing I use for instant screenshot sharing and Screencast I use for video sharing. It beats Youtube and many other services in video quality because it doesn't resize to a lower resolution.
For webinars the open source hotties are Yugma and DimDim. I have not used it but Glance also received good reviews.
This collection of tools and methods should get you started with visualization. I have opened a thread on Forge for discussions on this topic.

Remember that April Fools' joke when Swedish sex toy maker Lelo announced it was introducing a sustainable vibrator? The response to that eco-friendly pleasure-maker called the Gasm was so positive that it's actually going into production.
Until now, the company has sold everything from the Earl, aka "the most distinguished gentleman's plug in the world," with 24K gold plating (retails for a mere $2,590) to the Inez, a 24K gold-plated vibrator that retails for—wait for it—$15,000! But who are we to place a price on pleasure?
An eco-friendly vibrator, in other words, is hardly the most outlandish idea this company has had. Of course, it's not going to be made of
recycled car tires (yuck) and wood pulp, as the prank press release suggested. Nor will it be powered by a twirling Allen wrench. Ouch. The plan is to stick with 100 percent recycled materials, a hand-cranked power system, and as little packaging as possible, with a launch some time next year.
You never know where the best ideas will come from.

The global fight of Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is the studio's second stab at the rebooted FPS franchise from EA. Whereas the previous game was all about the fight in Afghanistan, Warfighter promises a "global fight," one comprised of real-world events.
At a Game Developers Conference event in San Francisco last night, Electronic Arts showed off a hands-off demonstration of Warfighter's new direction. The demo level took place in the Philippines, where you were in an assault against Abu Sayyaf in an effort to rescue hostages. This mission isn't inspired by fiction. It happened in real life. "Getting inside this kind of real world event is at the heart of Medal of Honor," executive producer Greg Goodrich told the audience. "Every mission in this game has a dotted line to a real life event," Goodrich added. Warfighter will trot around the globe in a story that ties multiple events based on a "single terror threat." It's the first time in the Medal of Honor franchise that a game is not based "on a single historical event." Sending players around the word would not only alleviate one of the last game's main criticisms, by introducing a greater variety of levels. (Medal of Honor exclusively took place in the desert.) However, Goodrich argues that Warfighter can demonstrate that there is an "international Tier 1," and that the traits of honor and goodwill "are not uniquely American." The concept expands into multiplayer, where players can assume the role of one of twelve squads. "Each of our allies has their own Wolf Pack of elite operators," Goodrich said. "Kids in Poland don't dream of becoming US Navy Seals... so we're taking a page out of the FIFA playbook." Medal of Honor was criticized by some for the inclusion of the Taliban in its multiplayer mode. Because of the negative feedback, the team had to rename the terrorist organization to the generic "Opposing Force." Will Warfighter's new multiplayer mode attract the same kind of criticism? Danger Close plans on offering a "Blue on Blue" playlist, one that allows good guys to go against good guys. Pitting SAS against SEALs against GROM certainly sounds like a military nut's dream come true--but how will the mainstream media react? Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be available on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 this October.

We are the Result of Generations of Decisions….
I love this blog post by Billy Coffey. He says he's not a genealogist, but in this post, he's captured the essence of why many of us do this, search for this person, and then that one, hunt for this fact, or that, and try to find out who these ancestors of our truly are, and if we can, what they were like.
Billy Coffey captures most of the reasons why I do genealogy, and he says it better than I ever could.
Like Billy, I'm not looking for the rich and famous. (I would enjoy finding just one, but I don't think I will.)
Most of my recent ancestors were farmers, and my distant ancestors, on two sides, were people who left their home country in search of a place where they had the freedom of worship. It is these everyday people, these people who climbed on a ship in search of freedom, these homesteaders, and farmers and farm wives, who bravely faced everyday hardships that I search for!
I don't think anyone could say it better than Billy said in his blog post at BillyCoffey.com:
"Because I am the result of many moments and many decisions that mattered to people with whom I share a common bond. And those who come after me, my children and their children and theirs, will be the results of my own moments and decisions."
I appreciated Billy putting into words at how I feel about my ancestors.
It reminded me that we're all a part of the tapestry of history, the tapestry that living our everyday 'nobody' lives weaves each and every day.
Thank you, Billy.

Most artists are driven to paint. For me it is a need to express myself. I'm lucky that I also enjoy writing, performing and other forms of communication. There is, however no way to explain how comfortable it is to do what you were made to do. Sometimes it is frustrating to live in a society where there is little appreciation or value to fine arts. It would make life so much easier to be born with a skill and drive to do something other people are more willing to pay for. Artists, too, have to pay bills. We do live in a materialistic society and the arts seem to be losing priority as economic pressures increase. Yet when you are born an artist you find you need to keep drawing and painting even if there is little financial remuneration.
There was a time when I believed it would be "selling out" to do paid illustrations. As time goes on I am thankful to paint and draw for myself and for others.
All my life I've been keenly aware of the connectedness of life and the magic of being a part of nature. We really are all part of the bigger picture – unique stitches in the grand tapestry of life. And we are all interdependent. My love of gardening is part of the same passion for life and I truly believe if all people gardened more and spent time living directly as part of nature we would have a greater respect for other lives and life in all its forms. That is what my paintings are about.
I've also discovered I can share the magic of connectedness in writing and illustration, in landscape design and story writing, and in simply making an effort to reach out to the lives I interact with each day, be they human, animal or plant.
I paint because I love doing it and because I am on a mission. I want to express the joy that comes of filling life with the appreciation of this magnificent planet and the graceful, interdependent dance of life that populates this earth. I hope that joy will infect others through my work. All artists have their own personal reasons to paint. I think most of us hope our work will not only be appreciated, but have some helpful impact on those who view it. Well, at least that's why I paint.

About (Late) Last Night: On 'Tonight Show,' Bill Maher attacks NRA, Arizona ... and audience [video]
Bill Maher can always be counted on for a little controversy, and on last night's "Tonight Show," he surely delivered ... and then some.
After a segment in which Maher poked fun of Christine O'Donnell and the new speaker of the House, John Boehner, Leno opened up the conversation: What were Maher's thoughts about the shootings this weekend in Arizona?
Over the ensuing four minutes, Maher certainly made his feelings clear.
"The NRA should change their name to the Assassin's Lobby, because that's what they are," he began. "Nobody needs a gun that fires 31 rounds."
Maher then criticized Arizona's permissive gun laws, which allow citizens to carry concealed weapons in many public places. "These guys always think that it's great to have a gun because if some bad stuff goes down, I'll be able to stop the bad guy." Dismissing this idea as a "fantasy," Maher claimed "You would never be able to do that. People have to be trained for months and months at a time."
Maher condemned the Democrats for abandoning the issue of gun control, a point which fell flat with Leno's audience. "There should be one party that sticks up for this issue," he said, garnering little reaction. "I'm not expecting it from this crowd." Cue the nervous laughter.
When Leno brought up the hot-button issue of violent rhetoric in politics, Maher let loose, going after Newt Gingrich and a number of other Republicans, whose "go-to rhetoric," he claimed, suggests: "Wouldn't it be fun to kill people we disagree with?"
Some audience loudly disagreed with this point. Maher responded, "Really, then, do you read?"
As a rule, insulting someone's literacy is not the best way to win an argument, and it certainly wasn't in this case. Maher did get a more positive response from his comments on the patriotism of bringing home the troops home, expanding healthcare and paying taxes, but it was probably too late. When Leno awkwardly wrapped up the segment with a hasty plug for one of Maher's upcoming appearances, you could practically hear him sighing with relief.
Even for those who agree with him politically -- and surely there were more than a few in the "Tonight Show" audience -- Maher's abrasive tone isn't always easy to like.
