Bethel College, Arden Hills, Minnesota
Homecoming '73
The Greening
of Bethel
by Jack Starr
Homecoming has arrived, and so have
many of the alumni and guests that will
be visiting the campus for this weekend.
The homecoming activities officially
started today in Chapel and will conclude
Sunday with a worship service for students
and alumni. In between these two services
will be a weekend packed with concerts,
athletics, and various other events.
Tonight is the first of two big nights of
entertainment and inspiration. At 8 :00
p.m. Joy Simpson will be featured with
the Bethel Festival Choir under the direction
of C. Edward Thomas in Thomas'
piece "I Have a Dream." Miss Simpson,
a black soul singer, has performed extensively
in the eastern part of the
country. Besides "I Have a Dream," her
concert repertoire will include a wide
variety of secular and sacred selections.
(See concert preview on page 2).
Saturday night brings "A Speck of
Bethel" to the spotlight. Following a
variety show format, the show will feature
alumnus Greg Speck and a number of
other Bethel students, both past and
present. Other alumni featured in the
show are Bryant Christenson and Brenda
Barth, both of whom in past years have
joined Speck in entertaining the students
of Bethel through various types of shows
and plays. Starting at 7 :30, the show will
move from light-hearted fun and hilarious
comedy to thoughtful seriousness. Speck,
who is currently working as a counselor
in a boys home in Wheaton, lllinois, will
arrive at Bethel sometime today.
There will, of course, be the usual athletic
events, starting Saturday. The Alumni/
All-Star football game will be at 8:30
a.m. and will feature the ultimate in intra-

mural football, one way or the other. It
will be followed by a soccer game on the
Bethel Field at 10 :00. The winning Bethel
soccer team will be meeting Concordia
College of St. Paul. Also in the morning,
Bethel will join in a cross country meet
with Augsburg, Gustavus and Concordia.
Finally, at 1 :30 the Bethel Royals will
meet Northwestern of Iowa in the homecoming
football game on the Bethel Field.
Other activities for the weekend include
a Tree Planting Ceremony on Saturday
afternoon, various reunion dinners
for graduated classes, and the Sunday
Homecoming Worship Service, which will
conclude the homecoming activities with
a dedication of the Scandia Baptist Church.
The 116 year old church, which had been
recently moved to Bethel campus, is to
serve as a historic center and a prayer
lecture series
Pi Gamma Mu, the social science honor
society, wishes to invite all faculty and
students to a lecture series. Academic
papers will be presented by members of the
faculty and commented upon by two
students. After panel interaction the topic
will be open for public dialogue. The aim
of the lecture series is to encourage academic
dialogue, allow fellow scholars to
become aware of the research interests of
their colleagues, and exploit significant
social issues.
The final session will be the Pi Gamma
Mu Award lecture award which will be
given to the best student paper presented
in the social science Senior Seminars. The
paper will be determined by a panel of four
faculty members and will be read by the
student at the final session. Two faculty
members will comment and interact with
the student on his paper.
The sessions will be held one Thursday
night a month at 8 o'clock in room
AC-333. Coffee and refreshments will be
provided. Each session will last approximately
one hour.

Simpson and
Thomas dream
by J. Caress
Tonight at 8 p.m., a memorable Homecoming
Concert will be staged in the gymnasium.
Nationally known vocal soloist
Joy Simpson will combine talents with
Bethel's professor-composer C. Edward
The evening will climax with a per��formance
of Thomas' recent composition,
"I Have A Dream," featuring Miss Simpson
supported by the Bethel Festival Choir.
Educated at Temple University and
Julliard School of Music, Joy Simpson
has received wide recognition in the-East
with her Philadelphia Ambassadors' Ensemble,
which she founded and directs.
She has appeared as soloist with the
Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra at
Carnegie Hall, soloist for the United
Nations' Birthday celebration hosted by
the late President Johnson, and soloist
for Tom Skinner Associates, Inc.
Her past career also includes directing
background music for films, a recording
called "Praise Him," and numerous television
C. Edward Thomas, who has been a
member of the Bethel faculty since 1966,
is associate professor of music and
director of the Bethel Male Chorus.
"I Have A Dream" is the name given
to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's
most famous speech, which was delivered
to 200,000 persons on August 28, 1963
at the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C.

The theme of the speech is King's
hope and longing for the United States
to begin living out the principles of
equality she stands for. Thomas explains
that the speech made a deep impression
on him.
But not until last December did the
ideas begin to germinate, when Thomas
was asked by Richard Edstrom, music
director at Armstrong High School, to
compose a work for Brotherhood Week.
The result was a 15-minute composition
blending American patriotic music, black
blues and gospel strains, and original
music to complement the paraphrased
speech text. The work was completed on
January 7,1973.
"I Have A Dream" was performed by
the Bethel college chorale and orchestra
in May. It is scheduled to be performed
by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
next January 4.
Admission to the concert will be $1.00
for students and faculty without the
Student Activity Card, and 50 cents for
those who have one. For anyone else
wishing to attend, the cost will be $1.75.
The following night activities, "A Speck
of Bethel" and the Coffee House will be

Student Association President:
by Dan Nelson
Monday October 15, 1973
I went over to the Seminary this morning to meet with
Dr. Lundquist. Also attending the meeting were Dave Lissner,
from the Public Affairs Department, and Ron Carlson, Chairman
of project B.A.S.I.C. Our purpose was to discuss the progress
of the project and make plans to publicize further the
project to the students. It is hoped that this column will help
accomplish the latter goal.
B.A.S.I.C. (Business and Students Improving Campus)
started in the spring of 1973. We saw a clear need at that time
for additional money to complete several small, but important
projects around the new campus. Many of these projects were
left over from the actual construction of the campus (landscaping,
etc.). Among these are equipment needs for various
parts of the campus (chapel curtains, for example). All of
these projects are necessary, but there was no money to accomplish
them. So we decided to raise it ourselves.
The process by which we students are raising this money
($25,000 to $50,000) is through a simple direct-mail campaign.
The system was explained in letters and in Chapel by
Ron Carlson. All needed materials are' on a table outside the
LRC. It seems simple, but is it working?
The results to this date are somewhat disappointing. The
total funds collected amount to $2,150. Dave Lissner has estimated
commitments for matching gifts of $12,000. The
money is coming into the Student Association Office at the
rate of about $450 a week. At this rate, it will take us over a
year to raise $25,000, and we want to finish this project by
The basic problem on the student end of the line seems to
be fear. We have never done anything like this before, and are
simply leery about writing a letter asking for money. And
when we do, it is not to our non-family friends and acquaintences
back home (the people that we hope to reach), but
rather, it is usually to our family members. I guess we have
experience writing home for money.
I would like to encourage all Bethel students in this venture.
Take a little risk and write a couple letters to people that
you know back home. The students that have already done so
were quite surprised when everybody wrote back with a donation!
We hope to be able to have some of these students report
in Chapel on their successes. Meanwhile, take the first step in
this project. You will be surprised how fast that your part of
project B.A.S.I.C. will be completed.

Letters to the editor should
be sent to the Clarion, P.O. 91.,
by the Monday preceeding publication.
To: The Clarion Sports Desk:
I believe I can speak for the coaches of Bethel College
when I say we really appreciate your efforts. The sports articles
in the Clarion this year have shown a remarkable improvement
over the past few years. It shows me that even though we
have an increase in varsity sports (soccer being in their first
year as a varsity sport) there can still be first class coverage.
Keep up the good work. It is appreciated.
P.S. Basketball and wrestling are coming soon!

Dear Editor: * * * * *
I would like to share with the community a letter I received
last week:
"As a concerned student, I feel that it is an obligation
on my part and also for my benefit and
others to report to you that your library (sic) has
turned into a gab center. It makes it difficult to study
when someone next to you is continUally talking.
Most students come to the library to study because
it is so difficult to study at the dorm or townhouse -
but it is becoming just as difficult at the library."
We as a staff in the LRC will endeavor to do our part to
be and encourage quiet. I plead with all students and faculty
to be considerate of their colleagues and make the LRC conducive
to study.

This letter is in response to your article concerning the
College Image. I agree that Bethel College does have an image
Bethel College may give us a fine liberal arts education.
However, it has the reputation of turning out pastors, and
little else. We don't mean to cause ill feelings among Seminary
people. All that is necessary to change our image is to present
the facts, as they are.
The College and Seminary are seperate, distinct schools,
each with its own purpose and value. The campuses are adjacent,
but still seperate. Each school carries on its own business
with little, if any, consciousness of the neighbor over the
Ironically, college students often only come in cont-act
with seminary students on their last day at Bethel, Graduation
Day. This may be a convenient tradition, but its worth should
be reconsidered.
Overall, I feel that Bethel only has a problem with image,
not with the school itself. We merely need to show others
Bethel College as it really is to solve this problem.

Shoes - and ships -
and sealing wax
by David J. Healy
When I called him up and asked if he wanted to play some
horse, Eric wasted no time. "How about right now?"
"I'll be over in five minutes," I said, and the nostalgia trip
was on ...
Eric Borgeson is a janitor, The Janitor, really, because he's
been at Bethel as long as anyone can remember. His is the
archetypal immigrant story: left Sweden, came to the U.S.,
and got off the boat with a dime in his pocket.
Eventually he found his way to Bethel, and for the last
five hundred years or so, that's where he's stayed. They tried
to retire him a while ago, but everyone knew it was a
meaningless endeavor, for only the grave will retire Eric
Borgeson. And somehow one has the feeling that when Eric
dies the whole old campus will come crashing down.
The old campus, you see, is Eric's domain. When everyone
else made the big move, Eric stayed behind, and now he's the
only remaining vestiage of the old guard.
But things aren't quite the same anymore. Oh, he still
mows the grass in a pattern that's seen thousands of repetitions.
And he still tends to his flowers with a pride that's been
tempered by the decades. But there's no one left to appreciate
his work. The flowers go unnoticed, and the junior high kids
play soccer on his grass. Worst of all, he doesn't play much
horse anymore.
For perhaps that has been Eric's greatest distinction: his
skill with a basketball. One can talk about Scroggins or Priestley
or Traudt, but in his day, and playing his game, Eric would
have humiliated them all.
Now, of course, the glory of the form is faded slightly.The
eyes grow dim and the inimitable underhand spin shot doesn't
always find the mark. But he's still a living legend, and he still
has his moments, and we hadn't played for a long time, so I
gave him a call.
A quick stop at the furnace room, where Eric keeps a ball
hidden, and we were ready to go. Once inside the gym it was

Bring this ad (and a friend)
to Farrell's HAR MAR MALL
like old times, with nothing to remind us that we were
harkening back to an era that had almost slipped away. I guess
the only person in the world who has shot more baskets in the
old Bethel gym than I have is EriC Borgeson. Between us we
must have an incredible total. And most of the shots we've
taken together have been while playing horse.
Eric started slowly. I took the first game 5-2. Then the
little man got hot, and the old magic started to reappear. The
second one was all his. I rallied in the rubber game and had
him down 4-2. But he matched five of my long shots, and
when I finally missed he took me inside. Then it was only a
matter of time, as he wore me down with an endless series of
short shots, the end coming on one of his patented
backward-over-the-head-off-the-board flips.
So, Eric had beaten me again, and the legend was still
intact. As we walked from the gym he related a recent
conversation he'd had with one of the junior high teachers. "I
asked him if he wanted to play some horse," said Eric.
" 'How old are you?' he asked me."
"Seventy-three, I said."
" 'Aren't you afraid you'11 drop dead some day playing
horse?' he asked. "
"I told him that it would be a nice way to go," said Eric.

SCREAM ... in the dark
by Janet Rutzen
Scream in the Dark. It's not a rock album. It's not a food
service hot dish, and it's not related to the Godfather. What is
it? It's a spook house at 901 Chicago Avenue South in
Minneapolis open nightly from 6:30 to 10:30, Oct. 17-31.
The house is "just about the scariest fun experience
Campus Life ever devised," said Wendell Amstutz, Twin Cities
Campus Life director. "Chilling illusions, dark, cold, and
clammy sensations, and mystery monsters inhabit the eerie
edifice, the Musty Mansion. "
Admission is $1.75 at the door. Reduced rates are available.
With previous reservations the cost is $1.50 per person.
If reservations are made for a group of 25 or more, admission
is $1.25 per head.
Guest monsters will make appearances at the coffee house
next door which will be open each night after Scream. The
guest list includes Jeff Seemen of the Minnesota Vikings and
Beyond those walls:
local radio disc jockeys. Light refreshments will be served, and
visitors will have an opportunity to win a Dayton's gift
"Scream in the Dark is an alternative to today's
preoccupation with the occult, and it is not a haunted house,"
stressed Marshall Shelley, an associate staff member and a
Bethel student. "Scream is quality entertainment and doesn't
have to resort to the violent or gory to achieve its effect."
Scream is one facet of Campus Life which tries to "get
teenagers involved in meaningful, purposeful entertainment
based on our philosoply of the balanced life - physical,
mental, social, and spiritual," said Mr. Amstutz.
There is still a need for workers at the spook house and
with area Campus Life clubs. Bethel students who wish to help
should contact Marshall Shelley, P.O. 965. Opportunities to
be associate staff members are still open. "These staff
members work underneath the club directors mingling with
kids and building relationships," Marshall said.
Campus Life is a national organization which sponsors
groups in high schools for Bible study and fun activities.
Scream in the Dark is put on nafionwide. This is the sixth year
in the Twin Citites area. Over 3,000 people attended last year.
Approximately 20,000 people are expected this year.

three positions for the class of 1976, and
freshmen will elect seven class senators.
There are four open positions for senatorat-

Interim costs
by Bob Winter
A recent question on many students'
minds involves the problem of when the
Interim expenses are to be paid and what
financial aid can be expected. Rumors
holding some truth have been cirCUlating,
but it is time that an explanation of the
situation be made. The Clarion went to
Dave Nelson, Financial Aid Co-ordinator,
in an attempt to clarify the rumors.
According to Nelson, expenses for the
Bethel student fall into four areas: food,
housing, tuition, and miscellaneous expenses,
including transportation and various
living costs. Financial aid for each
student is based on the portion of the
total cost. (the four areas together),
which the student cannot afford. The
total financial aid for a student does not
change as the year progresses.
Payment for each of the four expense
areas is varied, and here is where the confusion
arises, Nelson said. Transportation
and the living costs are paid for as the
need appears, but the other cost areas
have their own sched ules.
Estimated food costs for the average
student come to about $400 per year.
This is paid by the on-campus student
when he buys a book of food tickets,
which can be used in the dining room
whenever it is open to students the year
Housing expenses are paid twice per
year for those who live on either the old
or new campus. The payment made during
the fall semester takes care of the
costs for that term plus . the first two
weeks of the Interim. Likewise, the payment
for the spring semester covers
housing costs for the last two weeks of
Tuition costs are incurred and paid for
by the course ($212 per course). The
student must therefore pay separately for
each block of courses he takes. Thus, a
bill will be issued to the student for his
fall courses, one for his Interim course(s),
and one more for his spring courses.
Financial aid is supplied the student
twice during the year, and the student
receives half of his allotment during each
of the fall and spring semesters. This
means that the student will pay the full
cost of the Interim without aid, but it
also means that his payment for both
semesters will be proportionately less.
For most students, this will not be an
adverse situation. For the minority of
students who depend on the financial aid
for each of their payments, Dave Nelson
is suggesting a new policy which will
allow them to draw the needed amount
for the Interim expenses.
Royals face
number one ranked
by Curtis Kregness
The Northwestern College (Iowa) Red Raiders, nationally
ranked and undefeated this season, come to challenge the
Bethel Royals tomorrow in a 1: 30 homecoming football
Ranked first in the nation by the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics, the Red Raiders have won seven
consecutive games, most of them by wide margins.
The Royals played a strong defensive game last Saturday
against Yankton College, but the offensive squad turned the
football over seven times to the Greyhounds, with disastrous
results. Yankton intercepted four Bethel passes and recovered
three Bethel fumbles (capitalizing in two of those instances for
touchdowns) on the way to a 20 to 13 victory over the
Halfback Mark Wood scored both Bethel touchdowns, one
in the fourth quarter on a spectacular 42-yard pass play from
Marshall Shelley. Wood also led the Royals in rushing with 34
yards, followed by Larry Rocholl with 30 yards, and John
Holine with 15 yards.
The first quarter was a dismal one for the Royals, as
Yankton struck for two quick touchdowns in the first few
minutes of play. A Bethel fumble on their second play of the
game, deep in Royals' territory, gave Yankton the ball and an
easy six points.
Bethel regained possession of the football only to fumble
again, but this time the Royals' defense held the Greyhounds
from within five yards of the goal. Taking control only
inches from the goal line, Bethel was unable to move the ball
downfield, and was forced to punt. The punt was short, and
Yankton promptly drove in for their second touchdown.
The Royals perked up in the second quarter, scoring on a
sustained drive in which Terry Jenson caught a 25-yard pass
and Larry Rocholl had a 21-yard run. Wood put Bethel on the
scoreboard with a three-year run.
Bethel also scored a second touchdown late in the third
quarter, but it was called back on a clipping penalty.
Each team scored in the fourth quarter, Yankton on an
intercepted Bethel screen pass, and the Royals on a 42-yard
pass play by Wood.
Bethel's record in conference play is now one win and two
losses, with two wins and four losses total for the season.
2797 Hamline Ave. N.
Hamline Shopping Center - Roseville
by John Merritt
It was a discouraging weekend of sports for Bethel last
weekend, with only the cross country runners coming away
with their chins up. Although every game is important, last
weekend was particularly crucial as to how the final standings
would stack up.
After falling to Westmar, our football team knew that a
win against Yankton would be imperative in order to have a
shot at first or second place in the conference. Again, the
turnovers against Bethel proved to be decisive as we outclassed
our opponent defensively and also in total offensive yardage. I
feel that if Bethel can put this hard loss out of their minds,
play just as tough a game next week, and eliminate the
turnovers, they can certainly beat Northwestern. A win against
Northwestern would be a prestigious one since they are first
place in the conference with a perfect record. With fire kindled
from a win at Homecoming, I feel that it would spread to
overcome Concordia, giving Bethel what would be a very
respectable conference standing.
The soccer team has witnessed its once healthy and
overpowering team dwindle to a group of injured and bruised
starters with little or no bench to back them up. With people
like Pete Genheimer out for the season due to a leg injury,
(given him by the University hacker who was tired of getting
beat by Pete), and people like Steve Voth, Al Vogel, Dan
Leafblad, and Dan Anderson at halfsteam because of injuries,
last weekend didn't look promising. As a result, our soccer
team, which has a game style of finesse rather than brutal play,
has had its chances of making the NAIA Nationals lessened by
loosing to an MAIC team, Augsburg. All hope is not lost,
however; let's hope our team can overcome injuries to give
them a crack at their goal of making the nationals.
Our cross country team looks optimistically at their
ultimate goal of providing tough competition in the Tri-State
Conference on October 27. The past performances of the guys
speak for themselves as everyone has improved each week.
Coach Glader is certain that his harriers are running better
than last year and are probably the most improved team in the
conference. Westmar took first in the conference last year and
is strongly favored to repeat their success again this year.
Bethel took third last year behind Westmar and Sioux Falls,
but Coach Glader feels that if the Royals continue to improve
at present rate, they could win the meet, although beating
Westmar would be an upset. The coach mentioned that colds,
shin splints, and sprained ankles are variables which can hinder
a team's success. Of course, the same could prove to be an
advantage to Bethel if Westmar or Sioux Falls happened to be
the plagued team. Time will tell.

Soccer team loses twice
by Mark L. Freeman
The Bethel soccer team had their
roughest weekend of the season as they
tangled with the highly rated St. Olaf
team and Augsburg's tough outfit. The
Royals lost 3-1 in Northfield, and 2-1
against Augsburg, but lost even as they
played some of their best soccer of the
Last Friday afternoon, the team took
the bus to St. Olaf College in Northfield.
St. Olaf has a reputation for fielding one
of the area's best college teams, and their
game with the Royals didn't lessen their
image. Their strong offense, and their
able reserves did in the Royals, who also
played a good game. Steve Voth scored
the game's first goal, but after that the
Royals were hampered by their own
injuries and the Olaf offense.
Saturday morning rolled around very
quickly for the Royals, and with it, a
tough game against the Augsburg Augies.
Augsburg played up to their reputation,
but Bethel, playing one of their best
games of the season, allowed the Augies
only one goal in the first half. Early in
the second half, the Royals tied it up on
a Voth goal. Then tight defense, and some
good work by goalie Leafblad, made for
a very exciting game; and just when it
appeared that the Bethel fans could
settle for ~ tie, the Augies scored again in
the final minutes.
Tomorrow the team plays St. Paul
Concordia at ten o'clock, and they hope
to see everyone there for their homecoming

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Dardanelle, urged House colleagues Wednesday to give President Barack Obama the go ahead to launch a limited military strike against the Syrian government.
"Miracle of miracles, I am in support of the president's call for action in Syria," said Cotton, who is typically opposed to Obama's policies.
But in this case, the use of chemical weapons by Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's regime combined with inaction from the United States poses a deeply troubling threat to the world, Cotton said during a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
"The day that the U.S. does not act is not just the day that Bashar al-Assad knows it is open season for chemical weapons but … more ominously is the day that Iran's Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei spins his centrifuges into overdrive," Cotton said.
Cotton suggested that Iran would be empowered to speed its efforts to develop a nuclear arsenal that could reach U.S. soil.
Cotton, a House freshman, was among about 36 members of the House Foreign Relations Committee who attended the hearing on Syria where Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey made the administration's case for a limited strike.
The hearing lasted about four hours with each member given a limited amount of time to question the witnesses and express their thoughts on granting Obama's request. Kerry answered the bulk of the questions asked, making the point repeatedly that the request was limited and would not include "boots on the ground."
Kerry also made the case that the goal was not to involve the U.S. in Syria's civil war but to punish Assad for breaking a decades-old international taboo against using chemical weapons.
He also suggested that a failure to act would embolden Assad and other regimes around the world. Assad would continue to use chemical weapons against his countrymen, Kerry guaranteed.
Even as Cotton supported Obama's request, he criticized the president for failing to act sooner.
"I have grown weary of the president's war weariness," Cotton said. "I have called for months for action in Syria. I feel action should have been taken years ago."
Cotton also called for stronger measures to be taken to remove Assad from power and replace his regime with a moderate, pro-western government.
The committee appeared to be divided over what course of action should be taken in Syria. Several members expressed concerns that a limited strike would not deter Assad from using chemical weapons again. Some worried that Assad would retaliate and that eventually the U.S. would be dragged into the civil war. Others wondered why international support for action is not greater.
As the hearing took place, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution, 10-7, supporting a limited military action against Syria.
The Senate and House could take up the resolution next week. Aside from Cotton, the Arkansas delegation appears to be leaning against granting the Obama administration's request.

Your car takes in air and passes it into the engine through the air filter. (Some cars have more than one air filter.) The air filter takes out dust, leaves, and other debris from the air before passing it into the engine where it's mixed with fuel. The combination of air and fuel is essential for the car to run. If the air filter is dirty or clogged, it will not pass enough air into the engine, causing all sorts of problems (car may not start, engine may not run smoothly, etc.). If you use a reusable air filter (K&N), please specify that in the appointment notes, as you may just need a cleaning instead of a replacement. Unless you bought K&N filter, your car has a regular filter.
A mechanic should inspect the air filter during every maintenance service (in cars where the filter is readily accessible).
A dirty air filter is unable to keep dirt, dust, and debris from entering your engine. When your air filter is dirty, your cylinders and oil will both be subject to contamination from dirt particles in the air, because they have no alternate method of filtering the air. This contamination causes wear and tear on your engine, and also reduces your gas mileage and emissions.

The act of having an especially good or clever idea is often represented in visual media by a glowing light bulb appearing above the thinker's noggin. The "Aha" look on the person's face coupled with their index finger pointing skyward serve as optional accents to the universally understood symbol for a stupendous notion in action. Whatever the opposite of a light bulb spontaneously appearing above one's head would be- perhaps a rotting egg or a pet rock would materialize out of thin air, – is how I felt when I recently read about the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs occurring not only in the U.S, but in numerous other countries on multiple continents.
Apparently my ignorance of this incandescent lighting phase-out, which in the United States was put into motion with the passing of the Energy Independence and Security Act in December of 2007, is not uncommon. The second annual "Socket Survey" conducted by Osram Sylvania revealed that while 74% of people surveyed said they have switched to energy-saving light bulbs in the past year, that only 26% were aware of this mandated phase-out which will begin with the phasing out of 100 watt bulbs in January 2012. Subsequent years will have higher watt bulbs meeting a similar end in the United States, with 75 watt bulbs going bye-bye in 2013 and 60 and 40 bulbs meeting same dim fate in 2014.
The bright idea (light bulb puns, they are addictive) behind this phase-out is to cut Green House emissions and save on energy costs, which seem to be sound enough reasons to eradicate the production of an item. This phase-out though, like most governmental legislation, is not without its critics. The most likely immediate replacement for incandescent bulbs during this phase-out for consumers will be Compact Fluorescent Light, or CFL's for brevity's sake . These types of bulbs have been the recipient of harsh scrutiny as regions across the globe enact their own phase-outs of incandescent bulbs. Issues ranging from the type of light they give off (unflattering or headache inducing) to concerns about the dangers of the mercury contained within these bulbs have caused some people in areas such as the UK to hoard the more familiar incandescent bulbs before there are no longer any left to buy.
While I can surely agree with a move towards a more energy- efficient type of lighting, I also can relate to an uneasiness to give up what is familiar for a newer technology- especially when that technology is the light bulb; an invention that truly revolutionized the world (perhaps even more so than the George Foreman Grill- come on, you know you have one, and you LOVE it!) . I can especially relate to this apprehension after looking over the seemingly intensive rules for safely cleaning up and disposing of one of the mercury-containing CFL light bulbs if it becomes broken. This apprehension could also be born of ignorance and a laziness when it comes to chores that have more than three steps, such as the Foreman Grill's simple formula of chop, grill and eat.
Either way, as the GI Joe public service announcements used to say, "knowing is the half the battle", your guess is as good as mine as to what the other half of the battle may be, but perhaps now that you are aware of this ban you can begin to adjust for your future without incandescent lighting.

Months ago I was looking for a tiny book to fill with instagram photos of a trip to Melbourne. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted – little enough to feel true to the instagram format, and full bleed images. I had a difficult time finding exactly that anywhere, so I was happy to see viovio offered them in packs of three and thought they would be a great wee product to review for the Beyond Snapshots blog.
A fair bit of time has actually passed since doing the books, and I have heard the software has been updated since. This is great, because I found it a little bit fiddly, but not too difficult to work out. They don't link up with instagram, so I saved all my photos to the computer and uploaded them as I would if I were making a book from regular camera photos. I just saw that they have introduced an ipad app, which would be great if you store photos on your iPad, I'd love to see an iPhone version of the app so you can pull photos straight from the camera roll.
Customer service was great, and shipping was speedy.
Here is the book next to the iPhone for a size comparison. Such a great little size
The book and cover became a bit bowed after a few flips through, but it is understandable at such a small size and doesn't bother me too much
The cover is nice and thick and glossy, I'd love to see it in a matte finish
The inside pages are a great weight for such a small book, usually I prefer a thick page for a full size book, but the thinner weight is better for a tiny flip book format.
The printing is wonderful and true to colour. My favourite thing about the books.
The viovio mini books are only sold in packs of 3 or more, and at $59 for a 3 pack of 100 page books. I am not sure that I would purchase them at full price (this set was in exchange for the review). I'm sure there is a reason for the minimum order of 3 books, but I would be much more likely to purchase the books individually at $20 each than to have to get duplicates every time I wanted a book, which I don't really have much need for. That said, they are a lovely little book, and I was super impressed with the printing and love having it sitting on my coffee table as a reminder of a great trip!

In a recent statement, the Texas Academy of Sciences expressed its support for teaching evolution -- which it described as "the primary unifying cognitive framework in the
biological sciences" -- and its opposition to including creationism (including "intelligent design") in the state's scientific curricula. The Academy's statement emphasized in particular the economic importance of science education, noting, "Modern industry requires a scientifically educated workforce.
The American Geophysical Union reaffirmed its support for teaching evolution in December 2007, when it adopted a revised version of its Biological Evolution and the History of the Earth Are Foundations of Science statement. The statement begins, "AGU affirms the central importance of including scientific theories of Earth history and biological evolution in science education.
In a commentary published in the February 2008 issue of Geotimes, Kevin Padian argues that the way to improve evolution education is to start with the textbooks. Discussing his testimony in Kitzmiller v.
At its annual meeting in September 2007, the American Fisheries Society adopted a resolution (PDF) concerning the teaching of alternatives to evolution affirming "that the theory of evolution is the only current scientific explanation for the diversity of life on earth for inclusion in the science curricula of public schools," expressing its opposition to "policies that would allow the teaching of creationism, intelligent design or other political or faithbased doctrines in public
In a new statement on faith, science, and technology from the United Church of Christ, evolution is described as a matter of fact and a way in which God creates.

It was probably baseball fans who were first shocked and dismayed by the revelations that many of their hitting and pitching heroes were posting gaudy statistics with the aid of performance-enhancing drugs.
Baseball writers took up the cause this year. Faced with a list of Hall of Fame candidates that included several former players tainted by drug use, the writers failed to elect anyone for only the second time in 42 years. Those results were cheered by several members of the Hall.
Now, it is current players who are freely expressing their disgust with colleagues who used steroids and other substances to gain an unfair advantage on the field — along with the honors and big contracts generated by their cheating ways.
All in all, the growing lack of tolerance for doping and for athletes who profit from it is a refreshing development — for baseball and all sports. It may be just what's needed to clean up — and level — the playing fields.
The new focus of resentment is the Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun, a former National League most valuable player, who — after years of vehement denials — agreed this week to a 65-game suspension imposed by Major League Baseball over evidence that he used drugs.
Fellow players were quick to condemn Braun.
"I thought this whole thing has been despicable on his part," Detroit pitcher Max Scherzer, an All-Star, told The Associated Press.
"When he did get caught, he never came clean. ... that's why the whole Braun situation, there is so much player outrage toward him."
Matt Kemp, a Los Angeles Dodger outfielder who finished second to Braun in the 2011 MVP voting, said: "We had conversations, and I considered him a friend. I don't think anybody likes to be lied to, and I feel like a lot of people have felt betrayed."
Joe Girardi, New York Yankees manager and a former major-league catcher, said of Braun's decision: "You don't accept a deal unless you're guilty."
"It's another black eye for our game," said Girardi. "I know this game is very resilient, and there's been a lot of scandals over the years, but you get tired of it."
Girardi might be gearing up to handle his own team's latest scandal: Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees third baseman and three-time American League MVP, is reported to be among more than a dozen players targeted for suspension resulting from an investigation of a Florida anti-aging clinic.
If and when the additional penalties are announced, the recipients won't get any sympathy from Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson. "They're lying to the fans," Wilson told The AP. "They're lying to their teammates. They're lying to their GMs, their owners, and they're going to get caught."
In the past, lying wasn't necessary. For years, baseball players and other athletes were reluctant to identify or publicly criticize either teammates or competitors suspected of using illegal substances.
Professional athletes — even more than managers, coaches and others closely involved with teams and sports — have to be suspicious when a colleague suddenly develops huge muscles, along with new ability to hit monster home runs, throw faster fastballs or bounce back from serious injury. Any of those can result from using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs.
Curt Schilling, a former pitcher and now an ESPN commentator, addressed that players' code of silence in January after the baseball writers' Hall of Fame shutout.
"I think as a player, a group, this is one of the first times that we've been publicly called out," Schilling said. "I think it's fitting. ... If there was ever a ballot and a year to make a statement about what we didn't do as players — which is, we didn't actively push to get the game clean — this is it."
Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt agreed: "Curt Schilling made a good point; everyone was guilty. Either you used PEDs, or you did nothing to stop their use."
Apparently, that may no longer be the case. Players, along with fans, sportswriters and others, appear ready to help clean up the game. That's good for baseball, and for all sports.
Performance-Enhancing Drugs: Baseball Could Come Clean
It was probably baseball fans who were first shocked and dismayed by the revelations that many of their hitting and pitching heroes were posting gaudy statistics with the aid of performance-enhancing drugs.

Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia
The Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia presents both an ancient history as well as a very modern history. The present day Church occupies the lands, Moravia, where the brothers SS. Cyril and Methodius began their mission to the Slavs, introducing the liturgical and canonical order of the Orthodox Eastern Church, translated into the Slavic language. In doing this they developed the first slavic alphabet. This mission was destroyed after Methodius died in 885, as Pope Stephen V of Rome forced all disciples of the brothers to leave the countryside which now is the Czech Republic. The Orthodox order survived in present day Slovakia due to its nearness and influence to Kievian Russia until the union with Rome was instituted by the Viennese Court.
After the legal restrains to Orthodoxy were removed with the end of World War I, many people left the Roman Catholic Church. Many looked to the Serbian Orthodox Church as parts of it had been within the pre-war union. Among them was a Roman Catholic priest, Matthias Pavlik, who had been interested in Orthodox Christianity for years. The Church of Serbia, thus, consented to consecrate Fr. Matthias as a bishop of the Orthodox Church with the name Gorazd.
On September 25, 1921 Archimandrite Gorazd was consecrated Bishop of Moravia and Silesia at the Cathedral of the Holy Archangel Michael in Belgrade, Yugoslavia by Patriarch Dimitri of Serbia. Bp. Gorazd (Pavlik) is considered to be in the succession from Archbishop Methodius of Moravia and bears the name of one of St Methodius' disciples and successor, Bp. Gorazd.
As the Orthodox leader in the new nation of Czechoslovakia, Bp. Gorazd laid the foundations of the Orthodox Church throughout Bohemia, Moravia, and into Slovakia. In Bohemia, he oversaw the building of eleven churches and two chapels. He also had published the essential books for the conduct of church service that were translated in the Czech language. He provided aid to those in Slovakia and Subcarpathian Russia which then was part of Czechoslovakia, and who wanted to return to their ancestral Orthodox faith. Thus, in the intra war period, Bp. Gorazd built the small Czech church that during World War II would show how firmly it was connected to the Czech nation.
As Hitler and his Nazis swept through Europe, a harsh rule descended on each nation. Czechoslovakia was no different as it suffered under the rule of Hitler's heir apparent, Reichsprotector Reinhard Heydrich. After the May 27, 1942 assassination attack on Heydrich's car near the SS Cyril and Methodius Orthodox Cathedral in Prague, the Czech patriots took refuge in the crypt of the Cathedral before continuing their escape. They were aided in this by senior church laymen and about which Bp. Gorazd was informed. However, their presence was discovered by the Nazis, and on June 18 the Nazis attacked their hiding place in the Cathedral, killing them. The Orthodox priests, laymen, and Bp. Gorazd were arrested and killed by firing squads on September 4, 1942.
In reprisal the Nazis forbid the church to operate in Bohemia and Moravia, the churches and chapels were closed, and a round up of Czechs was conducted, including the whole village of Lidice, who were either killed or sent off to forced labor camps. For the Orthodox Church the whole church fell under the Nazi persecutions and was decimated. A total of 256 Orthodox priests and lay people were executed, and church life came to a stop.
After World War II the Orthodox Church in Czechoslovakia began its recovery, without its beloved bishop. On December 9, 1951, the Patriarch of Moscow granted an autocephalous status to the Orthodox Church of Czechoslovakia. The Patriarch of Constantinople followed on August 27, 1998 with a Tomos of autocephaly.
The martyrdom of Bp. Gorazd was recognized by the Serbian Orthodox Church on May 4, 1961, as a New Martyr. Subsequently, on August 24, 1987 he was glorified at the Cathedral of St. Gorazd in Olomouc, Moravia.
After the Czech and Slovak Republics separated into independent republics in 1993, activity continued in each country as separate legal entities: in the Czech Republic as the Orthodox Church in the Czech Lands and in the Slovak Republic as the Orthodox Church in Slovakia, but canonical unity was maintained as the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia. The Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia is now organized into four eparchies divided into two administrative centers: the Metropolitan Council for the Czech Republic resident in Prague and the Metropolitan Council for the Slovak Republic in Presov. Under the Council in Prague are the eparchies of Prague and Olomouc-Brno, while the eparchies of Presov, and Michalovce are under the Council for Slovakia.
After the repose of His Beatitude, Metropolitan Dorotheus of Prague and All Czechoslovakia, Archbishop Nicholas of Presov was elected the new Metropolitan and the Church's primatial see was moved from Prague to Presov.
In the Czech Republic, there are 82 parishes with 51 in Bohemia and 31 in Moravia and Silesia. In the Republic of Slovakia, there are 69 parishes in the eparchy of Presov and 21 parishes in the eparchy of Michalovce. The Orthodox Theological Faculty of the University of Presov provides an education for future priests of combined Church. The faculty maintains a detached branch in Olomouc.
The Monastery of St. Procopius of Sazava is located in Most, and that of the Dormition in Vilemov.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The attorney for the last of the suspects charged in the death of a Florida A&M University drum major during a hazing ritual says his client won't have to appear for an arraignment because he already entered a written not guilty plea.
Darryl Cearnel was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in state court in Orlando. But attorney Anthony Britt says the previously entered plea satisfies that process.
Cearnel was charged with manslaughter and felony hazing in March.
Most of the other dozen defendants facing charges in the case were charged last year.
Prosecutors say Robert Champion, who was from Decatur, Ga., collapsed and died after walking down a gantlet of other band members who beat him with fists and instruments on a bus parked outside an Orlando hotel in November 2011.

Children and adults, diagnosed in early adulthood, who have diabetes not characteristic of type 1 or type 2 diabetes that occurs in successive generations (suggestive of an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance) should have genetic testing for maturity-onset diabetes of the young. A
In both instances, consultation with a center specializing in diabetes genetics is recommended to understand the significance of these mutations and how best to approach further evaluation, treatment, and genetic counseling. E

describes the most common causes of monogenic diabetes. For a comprehensive list of causes, see Genetic Diagnosis of Endocrine Disorders ( 82 ).
Most common causes of monogenic diabetes ( 82 )
Diabetes occurring under 6 months of age is termed "neonatal" or "congenital" diabetes, and about 80–85% of cases can be found to have an underlying monogenic cause (
Stretchjersey Leggings Black Splendid Free Shipping Excellent OWUj0uVv4
). Neonatal diabetes occurs much less often after 6 months of age, whereas autoimmune type 1 diabetes rarely occurs before 6 months of age. Neonatal diabetes can either be transient or permanent. Transient diabetes is most often due to overexpression of genes on chromosome 6q24, is recurrent in about half of cases, and may be treatable with medications other than insulin. Permanent neonatal diabetes is most commonly due to autosomal dominant mutations in the genes encoding the Kir6.2 subunit () and SUR1 subunit () of the β-cell K channel. Correct diagnosis has critical implications because most patients with K-related neonatal diabetes will exhibit improved glycemic control when treated with high-dose oral sulfonylureas instead of insulin. Insulin gene () mutations are the second most common cause of permanent neonatal diabetes, and, while treatment presently is intensive insulin management, there are important genetic considerations, as most of the mutations that cause diabetes are dominantly inherited.
MODY is frequently characterized by onset of hyperglycemia at an early age (classically before age 25 years, although diagnosis may occur at older ages). MODY is characterized by impaired insulin secretion with minimal or no defects in insulin action (in the absence of coexistent obesity). It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with abnormalities in at least 13 genes on different chromosomes identified to date. The most commonly reported forms are GCK-MODY (MODY2), HNF1A-MODY (MODY3), and HNF4A-MODY (MODY1).
Clinically, patients with GCK-MODY exhibit mild, stable, fasting hyperglycemia and do not require antihyperglycemic therapy except sometimes during pregnancy. Patients with HNF1A- or HNF4A-MODY usually respond well to low doses of sulfonylureas, which are considered first-line therapy. Mutations or deletions in are associated with renal cysts and uterine malformations (renal cysts and diabetes [RCAD] syndrome). Other extremely rare forms of MODY have been reported to involve other transcription factor genes including () and
A diagnosis of one of the three most common forms of MODY including GCK-MODY, HNF1A-MODY, and HNF4A-MODY allows for more cost-effective therapy (no therapy for GCK-MODY; sulfonylureas as first-line therapy for HNF1A-MODY and HNF4A-MODY). Additionally, diagnosis can lead to identification of other affected family members.
A diagnosis of MODY should be considered in individuals who have atypical diabetes and multiple family members with diabetes not characteristic of type 1 or type 2 diabetes, although admittedly "atypical diabetes" is becoming increasingly difficult to precisely define in the absence of a definitive set of tests for either type of diabetes. In most cases, the presence of autoantibodies for type 1 diabetes precludes further testing for monogenic diabetes, but the presence of autoantibodies in patients with monogenic diabetes has been reported (
). Individuals in whom monogenic diabetes is suspected should be referred to a specialist for further evaluation if available, and consultation is available from several centers. Readily available commercial genetic testing following the criteria listed below now enables a cost-effective (
), often cost-saving, genetic diagnosis that is increasingly supported by health insurance. A biomarker screening pathway such as the combination of urinary C-peptide/creatinine ratio and antibody screening may aid in determining who should get genetic testing for MODY (
). It is critical to correctly diagnose one of the monogenic forms of diabetes because these patients may be incorrectly diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, leading to suboptimal, even potentially harmful, treatment regimens and delays in diagnosing other family members (
). The correct diagnosis is especially critical for those with GCK-MODY mutations where multiple studies have shown that no complications ensue in the absence of glucose-lowering therapy (
Striped Stretch Cottonblend Socks Acne Studios Buy Cheap Shop Offer Cheap Price Store 0hfZpE8B1s
). Genetic counseling is recommended to ensure that affected individuals understand the patterns of inheritance and the importance of a correct diagnosis.
The diagnosis of monogenic diabetes should be considered in children and adults diagnosed with diabetes in early adulthood with the following findings:
○ Diabetes diagnosed within the first 6 months of life (with occasional cases presenting later, mostly and mutations) (

Saturday's home showdown with Mountain View could have been the biggest game all season for the HRV soccer girls.
If it weren't for Friday's 1-1 tie against Summit, the much-anticipated rematch with the Cougars could have been a battle for first place in the Intermountain Conference.
But, the fact that Mountain View had clinched the league title on Friday didn't make the game any less important for the Eagles. They still had something to prove.
And they proved their worth in a big way, winning 1-0 behind Lindsay McClure's second goal of the season at the 12-minute mark of the second half.
"We all wanted this game so bad," said junior striker Acer Lopez, who accounted for most of the Eagles' 13 shots in the absence of leading scorer Becca Meierbachtol. "We were all a bit frustrated with the tie on Friday, but I think it helped us fight back better mentally, today."
Lopez and the Eagles had tied Mountain View back on Sept. 28 in Bend, and most of the HRV players felt they were the better team that day as well. And, after playing them so confidently the first time, the Eagles undeniably had a leg up the second time around.
"We showed that we're the best team in the conference," junior defender Lisa Tedford said. "It's no fun to know that we could have won the league title without all those ties, but this win still means a lot."
The loss also meant a lot to the Cougars, but winning the league title was foremost on their minds.
"Knowing that we were already IMC champs, this game didn't mean as much as it could have," Mountain View senior sweeper Matea Haugen said.
"But I wouldn't say we didn't give them our best game. They are one of the best teams in the conference and they proved it," she said.
With two games remaining, HRV is still unbeaten and stands at 7-0-5 on the season. They hosted seventh-place Pendleton on Tuesday (results not available at press time) and will complete the regular season Thursday with a road trip to Prineville and a date with sixth-place Crook County.
"We don't want to get overconfident, but based on what we saw from those teams the first time, we're counting on two wins," Tedford said.
The Eagles will be forced to do it without Meierbachtol, a league-MVP candidate who is out with a severe case of tendinitis in her right foot.
"I'm most likely done till playoffs," the senior team captain said. "Tendinitis is one of those injuries that you just have to be patient with. I'm hoping that if I stay off it for a week, I'll be ready to go."
Meierbachtol complimented the play of junior Anna Hidle, who filled in the center midfield over the weekend.
"Anna played awesome, especially against Mountain View," she said. "She was all over the place and really helped control the middle of the field. That's just what the team needed."
That, and a little help from the defense. Elie Meierbachtol, Jodie Gates, Candice Hoag, Brittany Reed and Tedford were able to squash the Cougars attack in both halves, while senior goalkeeper Becki Flory recorded her fifth shutout of the season.
She hopes to add two more to that total this week as the Eagles tune up for a first-round playoff matchup with the Metro Conference's No. 3 seed on Nov. 2 — a game that will be played at Westside.
Senior forward/midfielder Jazzy Cohen scored her fifth goal of the season to help the Eagles record a 1-1 tie with Summit on Friday.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: School board gives cool nod to STEAM
By TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
Ted Gatsas and Bob Baines: STEAM Ahead will transform students' lives in Manchester
Tuesday's school board meeting was pretty cool; never thought I would use those two phrases in the same sentence. It took place at Dyn, the Internet infrastructure company at the heart of the growing cluster of Manchester technology firms being referred to here and beyond as the "Silicon Millyard."
Dyn is playing a major role in a new initiative unveiled at the school board meeting called STEAM Ahead New Hampshire. Students at Manchester High School West will be able to earn up to a year of college credit, with the goal of launching them on career paths in science, technology, engineering and math - as well as the arts. Hence the acronym.
Some of the city's most disadvantaged students attend West, and the partnership with Dyn could expose them to the cutting-edge innovations happening in their own back yard. It might also show students - judging by the arcade games, Skee-Ball machines and miniature golf station at Dyn - that work can be fun.
The program has been in the works for the past year, and Mayor
Ted Gatsas
noted that it was quite the feat for its organizers to keep it under wraps.
Indeed, the big launch took place the week immediately after the election. A coincidence? Probably not. STEAM Ahead is being led by Bob Baines, the former mayor, and he praised Gatsas for his support and enthusiasm. A post-election launch ensured that the project wouldn't be tainted by political calculations - or perceptions thereof.
Still, the announcement comes as Hooksett wrestles with the finer points and costs associated with its plan to pull its high school students from Manchester and send them to Pinkerton Academy.
"My bet," Gatsas told me, "is that a lot of people will be taking a close look at what Manchester is doing."
- - - - - - - -
Call it a rookie mistake. The district's new athletics director,
Chris Donovan
, had some explaining to do before the school board's Athletics Committee Tuesday concerning the contract for new winter equipment. With the season fast approaching, Donovan was prepared to award the contract without having it go out to bid. That's a no-no; the city's procurement code requires a competitive bid for contracts worth more than $25,000, as was the case with the athletic equipment.
Both Mayor Gatsas and Ward 9 school board member
Art Beaudry
faulted Donovan at the meeting. Their main concern was that a local company with a good track record, Indian Head Athletics, didn't get a chance to bid on the contract.
"We always try to work with local vendors," Gatsas said. "If they don't meet the number, that's one thing, but Indian Head, they didn't even get a chance . It's unacceptable that we would exclude a local vendor."
Donovan got the message. "My apologies," he said. "And I'll make sure it never happens again."
Donovan later told me that he attributed the misstep to being new to the city and the job. "It's part of the learning curve, but something easily rectified," he said.
- - - - - - --
You may recall near the beginning of the school year that there was a minor revolt among principals over concerns about student safety. As part of the conversation about the shorter 175-day calendar, there was concern raised that as the school day got longer for students, there wouldn't be enough staff available at the end of the day to monitor things and ensure youngsters boarded buses and left campus safely.
Now there are concerns about the other end of the day. Students who get breakfast at school aren't getting enough time to eat. The problem, as is often the case, was pointed out by Beaudry at Tuesday's meeting. "A child that is hungry is not going to learn," he said, adding that kids end up trashing the food they don't have a chance to eat.
Debra Livingston
acknowledged there was an issue, and Mayor Gatsas once again could say I told you so. Gatsas was the lone voice back in the spring against switching to the new calendar.
And Gatsas pointed out any fixes involving adjustments to teacher schedules would have to be worked out with the union. "I would ask that you have a conversation with the president of the union and see what you can do to change it," he said to the superintendent.
Livingston said she was already working on it.

Starting a couple of weeks before the election, there was renewed interest in the Manchester Dog Park, to put it mildly. A faction of current and former park users accused Ward 10 Alderman
Phil Greazzo
, the founder of the Manchester Dog Park Association (MDPA), of in effect running it as a closed Republican club. Greazzo in turn called the accusations politically motivated. The election, of course, has come and gone (and Greazzo has lost his seat), but it's clear the dog park issue will linger at City Hall.
The aldermen's Committee on Accounts will take up the matter on Tuesday. The West Side dog park is on city land, and the MDPA was allowed to use it under a 2010 agreement approved by the mayor and aldermen. Alderman-At-Large
Dan O'Neil
, the chairman of the committee, has echoed some of the concerns raised by the MDPA's critics that it hasn't been transparent and that it hasn't acted on promises to become an IRS-registered nonprofit.
Joe Kelly Levasseur
has suggested something potentially more troublesome - that the MDPA allowed its liability insurance, a key component of the agreement with the city, to lapse. At the aldermen's last full board meeting, he alluded to information he received from the MDPA's insurance agent and a certificate he obtained from the clerk's office.
Greazzo has called the allegations baseless, and he made good on a promise to furnish proof that the MDPA has carried insurance as long as the park has been in existence. He submitted a sheaf of documents to the clerk's office, including insurance binders and bank statements.
Meanwhile, Greazzo has called on the city's Conduct Committee and the state Attorney General's Office to review whether Levasseur, in seeking the insurance information from the MDPA's agent, Aspen Insurance, violated the section of the city charter concerning abuse of office. "Alderman Levasseur acting without the authority of the Board, used his office to obtain private and privileged information he was not authorized to have or obtain, and then disclosed the illegally obtained information in public," Greazzo wrote in a complaint filed last week.
Here's Levasseur's response, via email: "If the association had simply abided by the rules and given the city the required insurance documents as stated in the agreement, then I would not have had to go looking for them. I obtained the certificate from the city clerk's office properly and followed up on the questions I had about the certificate in the best interest of the city."
So the tale continues.

Robots, you should know, will be kicking off the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 28. This is nothing to fear, Manchester technology entrepreneur
Dean Kamen
assures us, but should rather be a point of pride.
The robots, including ones that will cut the ribbon at the start of the parade and others that will spray confetti, were designed and built by grade school students as part of the FIRST Robotics Competition. Kamen started FIRST in Manchester as a way to get kids interested in careers in science, technology and engineering, and it's since grown into a nation-wide program. Now, FIRST will be getting more exposure than ever.
"Tuning into the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is an American tradition, and this year the first thing people will see in the parade is FIRST," Kamen said in a statement. "Thanks to Macy's, we have the chance to pique the curiosity of millions of young people, as well as potential mentors, sponsors, and volunteers."

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has slammed agent financial demands as "ridiculous" and has called for clubs to make the fees visible to the public.
The Scot says that the existence of transfer windows in the game has created an opportunity for agents to maximise their chances of making money though transfer dealings, and has even hinted he would like to see such representative leave the game altogether.
Manchester United are 11/1 with bet365 to beat QPR 3-0 on Saturday
"Individually? I don't know how we could apply that. I don't see it doing any harm. It might highlight to the public how ridiculous it can be for some agents to make the money they do. But I don't think that will ever change."
The Premier League recently released the spending of all 20 current top-flight clubs between October 2011 and September 2012, with United placed eighth with £3,681,580 while rivals Manchester City topped the rankings with £10,537,982.
Sir Alex, though, does not see fees reducing in the near future, let alone eradicated completely.
Sir Alex continued: "Once there's a transfer window, agents will make money. They are there and they are not going away I'm afraid. We'd like to see them go away but that won't happen."

Eastern men release basketball schedule
August 30, 2012
First six games are away from home so fans will have to wait to check out new Reese seats
Remember those nice new Reese Court seats that were installed during the offseason?
On the good side there's more opportunities to enjoy them for Eastern Washington University men's basketball. The bad news is fans will have to wait a while to sit in them.
Eastern will play its first six games away from home, but then will have five of six at the improved Reese Court setting that will also be receiving a new video board.
"The neat thing is we're increasing the number of home games," Eastern head coach Jim Hayford said.
EWU opens the season Nov. 10 at Washington State, but won't play at home until Nov. 30 when Cal State Fullerton visits.
Last spring new premium seating was added on the scorer's table/team benches side, and the existing wooden bleachers were moved to the ends of the court.
Although the Eagles officially don't open at home until Nov. 30, they will host an exhibition game versus Concordia (Oregon) Sunday, Nov. 4 at Reese Court following an exhibition game for the Eastern women.
Eastern's schedule includes 10 games versus eight schools who participated in national postseason tournaments a year ago.
"November will be a really tough month as a young team starts to come together on the road," Hayford said. "That experience will only make us better and stronger team as we prepare for Big Sky play."
Eastern's games versus Washington State, Utah Valley, South Carolina Upstate and Santa Clara are all part of the 2012 College Basketball Experience (CBE) Hall of Fame Classic. The WSU game will take place in Pullman and the other three will be played in Santa Clara, Calif., as part of the CBE Classic, which is hosted by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
The Eagles will also play at home in an ESPN BracketBusters game on Feb. 22 or 23. With the addition of North Dakota and Southern Utah into the Big Sky Conference, Eastern's league slate will include 20 games for the first time.
After losing four seniors to graduation from his first Eastern team, Hayford's 2012-13 squad will return two starters and four other returning letterwinners. His team also includes three players who redshirted last season – featuring a pair of NCAA Division I transfers – with six newcomers rounding out his squad.
Eastern finished 15-17 overall and was 8-8 in Big Sky Conference play to finish fourth, and the Eagles won their first Big Sky Conference Tournament game since 2006.

Another View -- Diana Lacey: Union Leader editorial got gas tax hearing all wrongDIANA LACEY
March 06. 2014 10:54PM
I was present for DOT Commissioner Chris Clement's testimony before the Senate Ways and Means Committee on February 18th. The Union Leader's follow-up editorial wrongly, and quite unfairly, captured what occurred.
Bill sponsor, Sen. Jim Rausch, faced several questions by Senate President Chuck Morse. It was Sen. Morse who raised, multiple times, questions regarding potential revenue from a casino bill before the Legislature, contrary to what was reported in your editorial. In fact, his questions were more like suggestions.
He asked if casino revenue would help the infrastructure funding problem. Rausch said that it could, however the casino bill doesn't specifically require the revenue to go to infrastructure. Rausch noted casino revenue estimates are insufficient to correct the upcoming funding deficit for our roads.
Morse questioned whether remaining unfunded road work should be given to local communities to take over. Translation: downshift state responsibility and increase pressure on property taxes.
Morse again raised casino revenue as a better funding option with Clement. Clement responded that it would be insufficient and that he was not there to weigh in on what the "right" revenue source was, but instead was there to explain the impact of the gas tax bill. Morse asked whether the state should just focus on widening I-93, again mentioning leaving more state roads for local communities to take responsibility for and casino revenue. Sen. Bob Odell did indeed refocus the interchange back to the gas tax.
Clement attended the hearing because that is the Legislature's expectation of state agency heads; he answered their detailed questions. They actually called for more information from Clement than the extensive data he brought to them. For the record, Clement has repeatedly, publicly stated that he is "revenue agnostic."
Surprising news from the hearing, which appeared absent in media reports, was Sen. Morse's suggestion that the solution may be to downshift (pass the buck) responsibility for most state roads to communities. Note he never asserted he believed casino revenue was enough to fix the entire problem, nor did he contend there wasn't a problem or that Clement was crying wolf.
Most taxpayers would strongly object to either of the suggestions Morse raised in the hearing (both carry the same impact). Maintenance costs will increase through downshifting. Towns will not be able to pass sufficient local road user fees as an alternative revenue source to pay for these costs; they will be forced to raise property taxes or leave more roads to deteriorate. Many New Hampshire communities already struggle to meet their responsibilities, which were exacerbated by other downshifting the Legislature authorized in recent years.
Downshifting these costs to New Hampshire property tax payers is unfair. There are significant economies of scale in maintaining DOT responsibility for state-owned roads and bridges. It is a longstanding, strong marriage of public and private resources that handle this vast workload; and the New Hampshire business community supports this bill because it is a fair and reasonable solution.
Most taxpayers want safer roads, not more dangerous. They also want to avoid the vehicle damage that pot holes create. The gas tax increase is a reasonable, fair way to save our roads. It maximizes cost efficiencies, saves hundreds of public and private sector jobs throughout the state, doesn't raise property taxes, and it doesn't let tourists drive for free here. Even if you drive 20,000 miles annually in New Hampshire and only get 20 mpg, the increase is less than a pack of chewing gum a week. Saving our roads will be far more costly if we pay for them with property taxes.
