Other points brought out by the
panel included the expression of
Christian love, friendliness and
treatment of foreign students on

geography of the guest's country
and a careful use of language were
suggested as helpful by the panel.

Oversimplification Responsible
For Pessimistic Views of World
by Paul Carlson
A growing number of journal-ists,
political scientists and other
students of international relations
are expressing optimism concern-ing
possibilities for peace, human
understanding and general world
Correction of some of the mis-calculations
and over-simplifica-tions
that composed most of the
judgments of American domestic
and international problems devel-oping
out of the last five decades
has lead to the belief that some-how
these "evils" aren't quite so
The "domestic growing pains"
concept holds that the evils en-tering
our society in this cen-tury
are not so much evils as
symptoms of progress.
These indications of progress
spring directly or indirectly from

President and Mrs. Lundquist
hosted the student senate in their
home Monday evening, Oct. 15,
and the area for consideration out-lined
by senate president Jim
Spickelmier was Bethel's academic
However, a major part of the
evening was spent discussing the
academic counseling program, with
most senators agreeing that the
present system of counseling has
rather apparent disadvantages.
The bedlam of tally cards and
closed sections is complicated
by freshman indecision and the
concern of the counselor to fin-ish
the appointment on time.
Initial academic orientation and
subsequent counseling is entrusted
almost completely to the teacher,
and thus, it is he who dictates the
success or failure of the program.
But many of the teachers have
no training as counselors, and few
know courses outside their depart-ments
or are familiar with gradu-ate
school opportunities and pre-requisites.
Advantages and disadvantages
of a member of the administra-tion
concerning himself with
counseling were also aired.
Although many upperclassmen
find the present system acceptable,
the dynamic expansion of the Am-erican
economy. By over-produc-tion
we have surpluses of food and
some manufactured goods. Auto-mation
has thrown thousands of
men and women into the ranks of
the unemployed.
At the same time few would ad-mit
that abundance of material
goods or the ability to produce
them efficiently are in themselves
evils. Rather the evil is to be
found in unwillingness to share
our abundance with others and in
the problems of the unemployed.
Labor disputes are another
symptom of progress in this
century. The existence of these
disputes is an indication of
growing economic awareness.
The fact that there is little vio-
new students may find a barrier
between themselves and a teacher
responsible for assigning grades
or a dean of students responsible
for discipline.
Basic difficulties students en-counter
when attempting to re-ceive
help from a teacher include
short or nearly non-existent office
hours, lack for concern for the
student as a person, and unfamil-iarity
with the student's back-ground
as recorded in the college
Conspicuously posting and re-ligiously
following office hours
adequate for the student's needs
should be considered minimum
standard performance. Meeting
students in more informal cir-cumstances,
such as those found
in the coffee shop, could build
student-teacher rapport.
Teachers might invite students
into their homes (the president's
dining room could be used by tea-chers
whose homes are greatly re-moved
from the campus) to help
the student feel the teacher's per-sonal
If the teacher is to be an effec-tive
counselor, he should have a

program as a whole, not just his
department or just the college's
academic pursuits.

is also an indication of progress.
Race riots in this country illus-trate
progress in another area.
They are a working of Hegel's con-cept
of "advanced" portions of
society knocking apart the imper-fections
of the "less worthy" por-tions
of society.
On the international scene the
prospects for peace, understanding
and social advances are not at
their worst. With the exception of
Cuba and a segment of Laos, the
communist military gains have in
the last decade come to a com-plete
Meanwhile, such significant al-liances
as the Organization of
American States and the Com-mon
Market show the growing
strength of the Western econ-omy
and the growing unity be-cause
cultural barriers are be-ing
This new strength can only have
its greatest influence as the united
Western countries help the more
unfortunate in the world commun-ity.
Finally the two great nations in
the Soviet bloc, China and the
U.S.S.R., are experiencing an ideo-logical
split. Nikita Khruschev's
talk about peaceful co-existence
seems like a very bad joke to the
outside world.
But the fact that he found it
necessary to address the Com-munist
congress about peace
and harmony and that the dele-gations
from China and Albania
walked out in protest makes this
joke very important to the Wes-tern
Because of China's militant
idealism the Soviet Union has on
countless occasions cautioned them
in their policies and has even
withdrawn significant amounts of
technical aid from China.
Economically, both of these na-tions
are plagued by famine, pes-tilence
and over-population.
It is interesting to note that
Mr. Khruschev has found it
necessary to combat these prob-lems
with a capitalistic innova-tion
like small competitive shops
which will be free of heavy tax
Is it possible that the differ-ences
between East and West may
ultimately be dissolved? The two
great wars and the nuclear threat
notwithstanding, there is reason to
hope and believe in material and
social progress.

Homecoming Impressions
Form Basis of Evaluation
Impressions of homecoming are still quite fresh in the
minds of alumni and students who saw hours of work and
planning rewarded by colorful decorations, an entertaining
program, a football victory and an inspiring banquet. Yet,
despite the apparent success of the weekend's activities, sev-eral
perennial problem areas were reopened.
These problems are pertinently related to that nebulous
thought pattern termed the "philosophy of homecoming"
which involves the integration of the whys and the hows of
every aspect of the total event. In this consideration, two ra-ther
broad categories appear: alumni participation and pro-gram
Activities Shift Emphasis
Homecoming evidently originated to provide an occasion
for alumni to return to campuses to renew old acquaintances
and to sample college life once again for a few brief moments.
However, in colleges and universities across the country, this
event has shifted from its original intent and is currently
enjoying its status primarily as a football weekend for stu-dents.
For many years the college and seminary enjoyed a uni-que
situation in that Founders week was considered by many
as the real "homecoming" of the year. However, the Bethel
graduate is changing. No longer is he engaged only in minis-terial
work, but he is increasingly finding vocational standing
as doctors, lawyers, teachers and businessmen. Thus, the spe-cial
program of Founders week no longer attracts all gradu-ates,
and some look for another time to return to the campus.
Many schools are finding that commencement, com-ing
at the culmination of the school year and rich in the
type of activities which trigger sentimental remembrances,
is becoming increasingly attractive as the focal point of
alumni endeavors.
However, if it is decided that a fall homecoming is to
afford this type of experience here, the lines of organizational
responsibility must be more sharply drawn. Overlapping re-sponsibilities
this year were rampant. The duties of the stu-dent
co-chairmen, the concern of the alumni director and the
vested interest of the public relations department created con-fusion
and duplication which must have seemed insurmount-able.
Let it first be granted that homecoming has evolved
mainly as a student weekend. Students plan it; students as-sume
the financial responsibility for its execution; and stu-dents
furnish the greater number of active participants. One
could' also add that conditions are such that it would be ex-tremely
difficult to even cite a desire among the students
themselves to entertain returning alumni as one of the motiva-tions
for this special event.
This does not mean that alumni are not welcome,
for quite the opposite is true, but the problem lies in
establishing a central authority and in creating a situa-tion
where the demands of both the students and the
alumni are satisfied without slighting one or the other.
A good example of an abuse of this principle can be found
in the homecoming banquet.
Of the 600-plus seats available for the banquet, over
300 were reserved by alumni, leaving the remainder to be
scrambled for by the students. In the future, if it is thought
necessary and desirable to combine the two groups for this
event, the affair should be held where everyone can be seated.
If this is impossible, separate banquets might be held, as is
done at many other schools.
Such a separation would violate none of the spirit of the
weekend, for it would provide alumni with a more intimate
setting for an informal dinner with friends and acquaintances
after attendance at the Friday evening program and Saturday
football game as guests of the students.
Program Needs Direction
Commendations are to be extended to the homecoming
committee for the overall effect of their program. The lighter
emphasis of Friday evening was evenly balanced by the more
serious presentation of the following night. However, one
would comment that these events might have been given more
unified direction toward a provocative theme.
For example, the theme of "Contemporary Man," pre-sented
formally at the banquet, was merely hinted at in the
Friday night program, whereas this topic could have been de-veloped
more fully, even though the informal presentation
was utilized. Certainly this weekend demands some purpose
other than mere entertainment.
It is recognized, however, that the committee had
originally made other plans which were cancelled under
administrative pressure and for reasons which can only
be termed embarrassing in view of the ideals of a liberal
arts college.
Problems of acceptable program material are always pre-sent,
and the homecoming committee was faced with the task
of considering what the students wanted, what the alumni
would like, and inexoribly, what complies with the Bethel
image. Current opinion seems to indicate that all programs
presented to the general public should contain some devo-tional
emphasis, supposedly to reassure doubting minds or to
placate the evangelical conscience.
Interestingly enough, the Friday night program had none
of this, and yet there was nothing which misrepresented the
school. Perhaps this is indicative of the broadening of the Bethel
student; and if it is, it is refreshing to observe—especially in
homecoming programming.

On any football team, especially a small one like Bethel's, injuries
tend to become nightmares. The losses of Jerry Oas and Bobby Larson
during the season could have proven disastrous for the Royals. Larson
was passing for over 100 yards/game before his injury, connecting for
six aerial touchdowns and shaking up opponents' defenses with his
signal calling.
Certainly Larson's injury is a loss, but the North-land
victory pointed out two reasons why it hasn't
proven disastrous. One of these reasons would have
to be the spirit of the team. Each man wants to be
good, and he wants his team to win. Where exper-ience
lacks there is desire. If one man is lost, the
rest of them try to make up for it with an extra
Exemplary of the team's winning spirit was
Bethel's first touchdown drive in the Northland game.
After Cox was hurt in the second play of the game,
the team didn't quit, as contrasted to both Northland
Larson and Lakeland when things got rough. They both had
eleven good players, but they didn't have the team spirit to weld them
Also responsible for Bethel's victory over North-land
is substitute quarterback Dave Cox. "Cox had
tremendous confidence when he came into the hud-dles,"
observed co-captain Jim Nelson. "He know he
could do the job and he had the men working for
him." Cox performed very adequately throughout the
game. He passed for two touchdowns and scored an-other
on a sneak. He also ran for 27 yards and handled
his hand-offs without a fumble.
Cox's moving from defense to offense could have
hurt the defense, but Larry Stair did a tremendous
job in his place, snaring two Northland passes and
spoiling others. Praise must also go to Jim Friberg, Cox
who took over for Cox in the early moments of the game and moved
the team to their first touchdown. Victory or no victory, Cox still
said, "We've got a long way to go yet."

After Lakeland beat Northland
10-6 in their homecoming game, a
news release was sent to Bethel.
Lakeland's comment: "Northland
is the second toughest team we
faced this year, even tougher than
Bethel." Bethel's reply: Bethel 41,
Northland 7.
Northland may have been big-ger,
but they weren't better. With
21 returning lettermen, Norhland

Bethel's football team will take

Reports hint that Northwestern
is stronger this year and promises
to give the Royals a fight. With
only three games remaining and
with a 4-1 record, Bethel will want
a victory.
One loss to Mayville spoils the
chance of an undefeated season,

To Mankato,
Bethel's cross country team suf-fered
a staggering defeat during
the homecoming events. Mankato
State entered eleven men in the
triangular meet with Bethel and
Macalester and swept the first
eight places. Macalester scored
ninth and Mankato took tenth and
Fred Purcell, the Royals' top
runner, quit the team a few days
prior to the meet. Bethel's first
five finishers were Bill Carlson,
Dave Grant, Dave Sorley, Mitchell
Clark and Paul Wedeking.
The Royals' next meet is on
Thursday at Winona State, and
Saturday morning the team meets
St. Olaf at 11 on the Como park

Gibson stayed near his pass re-ceiving
pace of 57 yards/game
with three catches for 55 yards.
In the Oct. 9 ratings of the Na-tional
Association of Intercolleg-iate
Athletics he was ranked
twenty-eighth in the nation.
On the same release Bethel
was eighth in the nation in pass
defense, holding opponest to
37.0 yards per game.
Drawing praise from coach Hal-leen
for their defensive work were
Larry Stair, Dick Putnam and
Gene Brunzell, as well as Vince
Bloom and Jerry Kanerva, who
played their usual fine game.
Halleen regarded the victory as
"Bethel's best effort of the sea-son."
Said Stair, "I was proud to
play in that game."

A simple 19cm x 4mm white woven leather bracelet with stainless steel barrel clasp. The clasp is satin on the edges, polished in the centre and has a really strong magnetic action making it very easy to put on and secure.
The leather used in our Tribal Steel range is sourced from Egypt, India, Italy and Texas USA. Cow hide, calf leather and lambskin are most commonly used.
Clasps are stainless steel and most are made in Germany although a few are sourced from high quality specialist Chinese companies. Most of our barrel clasps are riveted on at least one side, often both. We sell only 316L grade stainless steel, which is high grade most commonly used in jewellery and watch manufacturing.
The dyes used in our Tribal Steel range are vegetable based and pass the Azo Dye Directive and the PCP, Lead Free and Chromium VI Lab tests.
Our Tribal Steel bracelets are supplied without any presentation box or other packaging, but you have the option to add an eco-friendly Tribal Steel branded hessian pouch for just 50p extra.
Do not shower or bathe while wearing.

Princess Anne County, Virginia Court House Records
Note: When researching Princess Anne County for ancestors, Norfolk County should also be examined as the names between the two counties were frequently inter-changed with relatives. When Admiral Christopher Newport and the colonists of the Virginia Company arrived in 1607, George Percy and his fellow Englishmen's first landing was at Cape Henry. They named the spot in honor of Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of King James I of England. It was this spot which later became Princess Anne County. A well-known planter was Adam Thoroughgood who settling along the Lynnhaven River. In 1634, the King of England directed the formation of eight shires (or counties) in the colony of Virginia. One of these was Elizabeth City Shire, which included land area on both sides of Hampton Roads. New Norfolk County was formed in 1636 from Elizabeth City Shire. New Norfolk County included all the area in South Hampton Roads now incorporated in the five independent cities located there in modern times. In 1637 this tract was divided into Upper Norfolk County and Lower Norfolk County. In 1691, Lower Norfolk County was in turn subdivided to form Norfolk County and Princess Anne County, which contained the area of Lynnhaven Parish. Princess Anne County was named for the heir to the English throne, who later became Queen Anne.
The following allowances were made in the levy of Princess Anne County for 1696 for the construction of a court-house. A new jail was erected at the same time, and to some extend the outlay for the two is given together in the entry quoted: "To Timbner for the frame of court house and prison, 1000 lbs. Tobo.; Digging Post holes for the court house, 30 lbs. Tobo.; 2850 Boards for outside work, 1425 lbs. Tobo; Bringing above down, boating them; To Joseph Godacres loading and carting them, 500 lbs. Tobo.; Taking down the table, benches and bar at old Court house, bringing here and setting up, 100 lbs. Tobo.; Taking up plank at old Court house, boat and hands bringing it to Court house and carting, 400 lbs. Tobo; 650 plank of Adam Keeling, 650 lbs. Tobo.; To a boat and hands 2 days fetching 400 feet of it to Godacres' landing; One day carting it thence to Court house, 50 lbs. Tobo; One day carting sleepers to court house, 60 bs. Tobo; 6000 8d. Nails, 480 lbs. Tbo; 1000 10. nails, 100 lbs. Tobo; 1000 4d. nails, 45 lbs. Tobo; 500 20d. nails, 150 lbs. Tobo; 1500 Boards for inside @600 lbs. p. 1000, 900 lbs. Tobo; 2 bbl. of tar and bringing same, 300 lbs. Tobo; carting course house frame, 410 lbs. Tobo; To superintendence, 800 lbs. Tobo." Sources: Princess Anne Order Book 1691-1709, p. 119.

In a more modern setting, they'd be working as skydivers or paratroopers. In Epoa, they're Cloud Hoppers. Adrenaline junkies one and all, it takes a special kind of person to grab a cloudboard and jump ship into empty air.
The essential tool of a Hopper, this device looks like nothing less than a surfboard. A significant portion of the board is Pantarbe, which is what allows it to hold up both board and rider. Cheaper versions simply strap the rider to the board and require him to handle any sail that might be used to ride the air currents, but some of better ones have a built in minimast.
Altitude is changed by reducing the amount of sunlight that the board gets, whether by flying into a shadow nearby, or by using your sail to cover the board.
Cloud Hopping is interesting, but also highly useful. It is used by a few pirates and military forces alike; thanks to the quick altitude changes possible with a cloudboard, a special strike team can drop down and assault a target in a fraction of the time it'd take to do so with an airship.
It also makes for an interesting teen passtime, though a mildly expensive one, even using low-grade pantarbe.

Hope Summer Repertory Theatre's (HSRT) final production of the summer season explores life through music in the critically acclaimed musical Songs for a New World by Jason Robert Brown. Opening Thursday, July 26 and running six performances through August 9, Songs for a New World will be performed at 8:00 p.m. at the Holland Area Arts Council (150 East 8th St). Connecting the craving for hope and a brighter tomorrow with the reality of having to make choices even when the outlook may be challenging, Brown's reflective musical will have the audience reeling in beautiful songs and stories. With a setting similar to a storefront theatre, this limited seating engagement production encourages the audience to BYOB, hsrt will provide the cups.
"It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, to take a stand, or turn around and go back," Brown has said about his provocative musical revue. Songs for a New World introduces the audience to an array of characters and situations that explores important moments of life and the dynamic changes in people's lives. Through their exploration of relationships, dreams, conflicts, and love, the characters overcome challenges to face an ever-changing world with renewed hope and optimistic dreams. The outstanding score is influenced by a broad range of musical genres including pop, gospel, jazz and classical.
Jason Robert Brown has been hailed as "one of Broadway's smartest and most sophisticated songwriters since Stephen Sondheim" (Philadelphia Inquirer). Brown is the composer and lyricist of the musical, The Last Five Years, which was cited as one of Time Magazine's 10 Best of 2001 and won Drama Desk Awards for Best Music and Best Lyrics. He won a 1999 Tony Award for his score to Parade, a musical written with Alfred Uhry, and subsequently won both the Drama Desk and New York Drama Critics' Circle Awards for Best New Musical. His first musical, Songs for a New World, has since been seen in more than two hundred productions around the world. His newest musical, 13, written with Dan Elish, premiered in 2007 to rave reviews at Los Angeles's Mark Taper Forum, and opened on Broadway in the spring of 2008. He is the winner of the 2002 Kleban Award for Outstanding Lyrics and the 1996 Gilman & Gonzalez-Falla Foundation Award for Musical Theatre and he was a Tony Award nominee for his contributions to the score of Urban Cowboy the Musical.
Songs for a New World's cast includes Actors' Equity Association member Teddy Yudain (Stanford, CT) and non-equity members Emily Austin (Boulder, CO), Lydia Blickley (Grand Rapids, MI), Jake Golliher (Peculiar, MO), Alyssa Magarian (Cincinnati, OH), Lili Torre (Hilton Head Island, SC), Durron Marquis Tyre (Richmond, VA) and T.J. Wagner (Malvern, PA).
Songs for a New World's production team includes: Director Daina Robbins, Music Director Fred Tessler, Choreographer Matt Farmer, Scenic Designer Colt Frank, Costume Designer Megan Wiegand, Lighting Designer Andrew K. Gras, Sound Designer Richard B. Ingraham, Stage Manager Shannon Henley, and Technical Director Leah Busse.

China expands online service of train tickets
China expanded online purchase service of train tickets Sunday by including Z nonstop express trains nationwide into the service, to save passengers from long-time queuing.
Passengers can log on at http://www.12306.cn, the ministry's official online ticket-booking website, to buy train tickets, China Daily reported Sunday.
The webiste initiated the online service in June, but only for high-speed trains like G and D fast trains, and the C intercity express trains, the report said.
Tickets for the T express trains will be available online from Dec. 10, the report said, citing the Ministry of Railways.
Compared with the better equipped and more expensive high-speed trains, Z and T trains run at a top speed of 160 kilometers an hour, much slower than the high-speed trains.
The People's Daily reported earlier that railway minister Sheng Guangzu said all trains, including the slow trains, will have tickets sold online by the end of this year.
The move will help eliminate the aggravation of waiting in line at railway stations and ticket outlets and may also help curb ticket scalping, according to the report.

Martin Hopper of The Hopper Brothers emailed WitOut today to let us know the band's new comedy album, The Hoppers' Holiday Classics, is now available for $FREE.99 on Bandcamp:
"Dear Regional-Niche-Enthusiast-Web-Publication,
My name is Martin Hopper and I am 379 months old. Me and my little brother Benny made a band and since we are the Hoppers and we are brothers we called this band The Hopper Brothers Band ("Family friendly fun for fun with your family and friends.")
We like holidays because you don't have to go to work and sometimes you get to wear silly costumes (last St. Patty's day Benny and I dressed as the C-cups in an over-sized, papier-mache "Erin go bra"). We picked 16 of our favorite holidays and wrote songs about them for our new album: The Hoppers' Holiday Classics. There's a song for Valentine's Day and Christmas and Ramadan and Tax Day and a whole bunch more. They are so very much fun and we worked so very much hard on them and we would so very much appreciate it if you gave them a listen at this link:
And guess what! Some bands charge you a kabillion dollars for their albums. We are charging the opposite of a kabillion. You can download our album for absolutely zero dollars. It's FREE (of course, you can name your price so if you did feel like throwing us a couple of bucks, we would think you're awesome)!
And double guess what! On May 8th we will be performing as part of PHIT's Variety Sweeps Week. A whole bunch of cool acts will be producing shows and the best one will get a regular gig at PHIT. Our show is again about the holidays. The one on May 8th is going to be all about Mother's Day! So come to the Shubin and bring your mom!
Thanks so much, Regional-Niche-Enthusiast-Web-
Publication. We hope you come to our show and download our album!
Martin Steven Hopper"

A plating mill receives 6- to 8-ft wide coiled steel and chemically treats it with a process similar to galvanizing. The rolls have about a 4 to 6 ft OD and are unraveled like paper towels. The loose end of a sheet is fed into a pair of pinch rolls that directs the steel through several stations that wash, rinse, dry, and heat it. After it is coated and treated, the steel is then rolled back into 4- to 6-ft coils and shipped to automotive stamping plants. The complete mill can be a city block long.
Feeding a new sheet into the pinch rolls and subsequent stations is time consuming, To reduce this bottleneck, plant personnel use a storage tower that accumulates a large amount of flat sheet. The lead end of a coil is clamped to hold it still as it starts to enter the first set of pinch rolls. A new coil is then loaded and butted up to the tail end of the previous one. Next, the two ends are welded together, and the clamp is released to allow the new coil to thread through the machine. This keeps the process running continuously 24-7.
The hydraulic circuit design shown is used in most of these mills. When the steel is unraveled off the roll, two long hydraulic cylinders extend, pushing two idler roll racks apart to fill the storage tower. A pressure reducing valve is used to create a force high enough to allow the steel to continue to run as the storage system moves and hits its maximum limit stops. The reducing pressure is just high enough to keep the rolls apart while the mill pulls on the sheet and feeds the different processing stations.
When the clamp engages to stop and hold the tail of the coil, the mill continues to run. When the sheet is clamped at the end for welding, the pinch rolls on the other side of the storage system continue to pull stored sheet from the storage tower. This extra force collapsing the storage tower causes the reducing valve's outlet pressure to increase 75 psi, which relieves over the relief valve and allows the storage rack cylinders to retract as the stored sheet is removed.
Once the welding is complete, the clamps are released, and the pressure drops below the reducing valve setting. Then the rack starts extending to replenish the stored volume. The rack retracts during welding of a new roll and extends when the welding clamps are released.
An overheating problem developed when the relief valve stuck in the relieving position and did not close when the pressure dropped. The OEM, now out of business, had removed the valve's nameplate, but a technician recognized the valve as a Vickers CT-10 and installed new one. The heating problem persisted, so they replaced the pressure reducing valve but still could not get it to work right.
The service manual instructed them to plug both "vent ports" of both valves that were plumbed to the remote proportional control, set the reducing valve pressure to 1600 psi, and adjust the relief valve pressure to 1500 psi. It also instructed them to lower the reducing valve pressure to 1425 psi, which they did, and all was fine at these pressures. However, when they reconnected the remote control, the problem came back. They then replaced the remote proportional valve, but to no avail.
They did not know what to do next. Do you?

Solution to last month's cogging cylinder problem
Vertical cylinders with weights and pilot-operated (PO) check valves require special consideration. The cogging of the new press that formed top covers on chimneys is a common problem. Pressure builds in the cap end of the cylinder to extend the piston rod, and this same pressure pushes the PO check valve open. When the check valve opens, the cylinder can drop quickly, causing the cap-end pressure to drop low enough to allow the check to close, causing the cylinder to stop. The cycle keeps repeating, which causes the cylinder to cog.
To control cylinder speed, meter-out flow controls should maintain pressure on the cap end of the cylinder to prevent this loss of pilot pressure.
Several things were at play with this type of circuit: line sizes and their lengths, the pilot ratio of the PO check valve, the weight on the cylinder, the location of the flow control (flow controls were built into the cylinder end caps, so they could not be relocated), and the circuit pressure.
To fix the problem, our Jon Rhodes removed the rod-end PO check poppet and added a counterbalance valve module to the stack. He was told that the PO check was designed to stop and hold the load from drifting down. The directional valve spool had the P and B ports blocked, with port A going to tank. This would cause the cylinder to drift up while the counterbalance valve prevented the cogging.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul broke ranks with his father's political army this week and endorsed Mitt Romney as the Republican Party presidential nominee, setting off a firestorm of outrage in the Ron Paul Universe.
Here's a sampling of the reactions from around the Internet:
As the comments suggest, Sen. Paul's endorsement appears to have seriously damaged his credibility within the Movement — at least among its most hardcore activists. The virulent backlash indicates that the endorsement could have harmful political ramifications for the Kentucky Senator, raising doubts about his ability to unite his father's grassroots army with more mainstream elements of the Republican Party base.
"I think Rand Paul believed he could build from his father's base," said Brian Doherty, a journalist who has been covering the Ron Paul Revolution since the late 1990s. "But I think he has probably found in the last 24 hours that this might prove more difficult than he expected."WATCH: Brian Doherty Explains The Fanatics Who Are "Ron Paul's Revolution"
But Doherty told Business Insider that he was not completely surprised that Sen. Paul opted to endorse Romney. Unlike his father, Paul has frequently shown a willingness to work with the GOP Establishment, and has previously indicated that he planned on getting behind whoever his party picked as the nominee.
"There are a lot of Ron Paul people who like to think of themselves as a ragtag rebel army," Doherty said. "But Rand Paul is clearly positioning himself to play the part of the loyal opposition in the Republican Party. Emphasis on loyal."
What was surprising about the endorsement, Doherty said, was its timing.
Although Ron Paul has admitted he is no chance of winning the GOP nomination, he is still technically running for president and announced earlier this week that he expects to have 200 bound delegates at the Republican National Convention this summer. Moreover, his campaign is still encouraging supporters to try to get elected as national delegates at state and local party conventions.
"It seems like a gratuitous kick in the face to his father's most ardent supporters," Doherty said, adding that the endorsement seems to indicate that "Rand Paul might have less respect for the grassroots movement than he ought to."
It's possible, however, that Rand Paul knew he was going to piss off his father's die-hard fans — he just didn't care.
"There's a lot more to the movement than the hard-core fanatics," Doherty said. "There are a lot of people who voted for Ron Paul [in the primaries] who are not writing angry things about Rand Paul on the Internet today."
And Rand Paul's comments during his endorsement Thursday suggest that he was at least aware of the people he was betraying:
"My dad has a legion of young followers who are on the Internet, and they think they rule the Internet," Paul told Fox News host Sean Hannity. "Maybe they do and maybe they don't."
Hindsight may show that these remarks underscored some serious political hubris. Rand Paul's political clout depends, in part, on his ability to rally these grassroots Internet activists, and get them to make noise and moneybombs.
Even if he has decided that he can give up on the most hard-core fanatics, his support for Romney threatens to hurt his credibility within the broader Liberty Movement, particularly among those who see Romney's hawkish foreign policy positions — and Bush-era national security advisors — as anathema to the movement's principles.
Still, Rand Paul's endorsement does have some obvious political benefits, at least in the short-term. Already, the endorsement has raised the Kentucky Senator's national media profile, and sparked speculation about a possible VP nod. At Friday's Conservative Political Action Conference in Chicago, Sen. Paul came in fourth place in the vice presidential straw poll with 8% of the vote, coming in one point behind House Budget Chair Paul Ryan.
When asked about a possible V.P. run yesterday, Sen. Paul told CNN"it would be a great honor to be considered."

Eating Disorder Treatment, at our Bay Area residential center specializes in Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, & Orthorexia Recovery.
Cutting is a form of self-harm behavior that is deliberately used to inflict pain on oneself secondary to severe underlying emotional distress. Cutting is often practiced to relieve the mental anguish brought on by the deep underlying issues. This self-harm behavior can be made into a ritualistic practice and after it is performed feelings of guilt and self-pity arise once again resulting in a viscous cycles of emotional self-abuse. There is no "one size fits all" treatment approach for cutting or any other type of self-harm behavior but rather this behavior is treated on an individual basis. Psychotherapy, also known as "talk therapy", is the first-line overall approach to treating individuals who cut. There are many forms of psychotherapy and some forms may work better than other for certain individuals. In general psychotherapy approaches work to address the following:
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a type of depressive disorder that affects more than 15 million adults in the United States and is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. for individuals 15-44 years of age. Depressive disorders are characterized under mood disorders and cause severe symptoms that affect how one thinks, feels, and interacts with others. This can result in extreme unhappiness in every aspect of an individual's life resulting in potential turmoil in the workplace, in the home and in personal relationships with others. Depression is a multifactorial mood disorder meaning that many causes contribute to this disorder such as genetic factors and major life stressors. Children who have lost a parent before 10 years of age have an increase risk of depression later in life. Additional factors such as poor parent-child relationships and substance abuse are also known to increase the risk of developing depression. Antidepressants, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are known as the first-line treatment for depression in adults and teens. The following are psychotherapy approaches used to also treat depression in conjunction with medication.
Anxiety disorders consist of generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, panic disorder and agoraphobia and are characterized by an intense state of worry and fear resulting from a threatening event or life stressor. Anxiety can be normal in cases of everyday stress or serious life stressors and individuals usually overcome this worry once the stressor dissipates however in individuals with anxiety disorder, their state of worry becomes more intensified over time. Anxiety disorders can be treated with a combination of pharmacological therapy and psychotherapy. Studies have shown that when used in combination versus alone, both of these treatments can have faster clinical outcomes with longer lasting effects. The two classes of pharmacological therapy used to treat anxiety disorders are antidepressants and benzodiazepines. Psychotherapy used to treat anxiety disorders include cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, and applied relaxation are well-known first-line therapy approaches.
TRICARE is a health program for uniformed serve members and their families as well as National Guard and reserve members. Mental health disorders and eating disorders are prevalent among all individuals including those who have served and currently serve in the armed services of the United States. Center For Discovery supports the United States armed forces and works hard to deliver the best treatment to each individual.

Perhaps the single most important piece of equipment police wear is their body armor. Ballistic shields and armor accessories also help save officers' lives. Following is a look at the newest body armor, ballistic shields and armor accessories to protect the men and women sworn to protect. Let's start with body armor.
DAW TECH - www.dawtech.com
Daw Tech's Level IIIA's concealable 10-inch x 12-inch trauma plate weighs less than one pound and offers anti-stab protection and advanced multi-hit pistol-caliber protection. During testing, this lightweight plate stopped 10 rounds of 45 ACP at a start distance of 25 feet and moving
into the target with the final shot at one foot with no spall or ricochet.
The Level III from Daw Tech weighs 3.3 pounds, this 10-inch x 12-inch multi-hit plate stops rifle rounds up to 308 Win, 12 gauge rifled slugs, 223 Rem, 7.62x39mm (AK-47), and pistol rounds. Daw Tech's Level III+ weighs 5.5 pounds and this 10-inch x 12-inch multi-hit plate stops rifle rounds up to .308 Win, 12-gauge slugs, 223 Rem, 7.62x39mm and the 5.56 NATO M855 Green tip Penetrator, and pistol rounds.
Since the core material used in the manufacturing of the plate captures bullet fragments, it reduces spall and ricochet to essentially zero. These lightweight plates are also drop safe and do not require expensive X-rays or special maintenance.

PROTECH - www.protechtactical.com
The PROTECH® FAV™ MKII QR (Quick Release) tactical vest incorporates all the same features and upgrades of the innovative FAV MKII Enhanced tactical vest but with a simplistic quad release QR system. The quick release mechanism allows the front and rear of the vest to be released through a single pull of a deployment handle located in the center upper torso on the front carrier. This provides the ability to remove the carrier quickly and effectively when the need arises. The quick release functionality has been streamlined by using a unique quad release buckle system that is situated on the bottom front portion and the shoulder areas of the vest for ease of reassembly after the vest has been deployed.
The FAV MKII QR carrier comes with front, back, shoulder and 6-inch x 10-inch side ballistic panels and is equipped with a 360-degree modular attachment system to accommodate PROTECH Tactical TP pouches and accessories; six integrated, long-arm magazine pouches; an outer cummerbund with adjustable sides to provide a custom fit for a wide range of waist circumferences; an adjustable dual-weapon retention system in the shoulder area for specific weapon retention and individual shooting positions.

GARCIA TECH - www.mfshield.com
The Maximum Force Shield (MF Shield) from Garcia Tech is a new product that allows police officers to restrain and immobilize violent suspects without the dangers associated with traditional restraining methods. The "clam"-like design of the MF Shield makes it ideal to be used in confined spaces such as when doing cell extractions. Typically officers will move into a small cell holding the MF Shield in a close position and open it just before making contact with the subject. The Maximum Force Shield, due to its design, allows for a quick deployment and less need for protection devices used by officers.
The design of the MF-Shield is comprised of two capture shields held together as a flexible device that allows for a wide area of protection for the officers doing the restraining of combative subjects. In addition, the "clam"-like shield serves to contain any violent force by the combative subjects while at the same time protecting them from injuries to themselves. With the MF-Shield the officers apply an even distribution of pressure on subjects over a large area of two capture shields. This even distribution of pressure on a subject allows him / her to breathe while safely containing most of his / her aggressive movements within the double clam shield.
HATCH - www.hatch-corp.com
The Hatch® Impactor™ from Safariland (a BAE Systems business) is a unique, non-ballistic, multi-functional arm shield that is durable and lightweight and provides for protection of the officer in both defensive and counter-strike situations. It is designed to work in concert with defensive baton techniques and/or OC spray.
The Model 5500 Impactor is an excellent tool for controlling combative subjects and is ideal for use by correction officers and first responders. A patent-pending design, it is constructed of a non-ballistic, reinforced polycarbonate for increased impact resistance and tensile strength, which will not warp or crack. It connects to the arm via adjustable, padded arm straps that help absorb and dissipate impact. Its ribbed design adds strength to the shield while maintaining a light weight.
Designed for use on either arm, the Impactor can be used alone or in conjunction with a baton, as it features a control slot for the baton that can also be used for pinning a suspect's wrist or forearm. Integrated into the handle design is a secure holder for a Defense Technology® brand MK-3 or MK-4 OC spray canister, allowing for easy deployment of the OC. The Impactor is ideal for blocking, front jab, middle block or rear jab techniques to subdue and control suspects. The Impactor includes a location for adding customized agency identification labels. Reflective ID labels are hook and loop compatible and are offered for Police, Sheriff, Corrections and State.
L.C.O.A. COMPOSITES - www.lcoadefense.com
Deadstop™ is one of L.C.O.A. Composites' brands focused on law enforcement and agency composite armor solutions such as shields.

PATRIOT3 - www.patriot3.com
Patriot3's Minuteman Folding Ballistic Shields fold and stow in convenient and non-descript carry bags. The Minuteman deploys in seconds and can be used in both rigid and non-rigid configurations. Stiffening rods stow in a convenient storage area when not in use. The Minuteman is available in NIJ Level's III and IIIA with and without viewports. Another benefit to the Minuteman Folding Ballistic Shields is that agencies only need to replace the panels themselves in the units after their shelf life has expired, instead of buying a whole new shield.
Patriot3's new XPS-G2 (X-Treme Protection Series) Shield recently won the coveted GovSec Security Products Homeland Security Award. The XPS-G2's unique, patent-pending design incorporates the first-ever Folding Ballistic Wings. These Ballistic Wings are added to the XPS Base Unit to provide a wide area of coverage beyond that of the base unit. With the rotation of Patriot3's revolutionary wing-deployment mechanism, the Ballistic Wings can be folded backward to reduce the width of the shield, enabling passage through commercial doorways.
Once through the door, the Ballistic Wings are immediately re-deployed providing a wide area of coverage of up to 66 inches or three operators wide. In addition, each of the XPS Ballistic Wings can be removed instantly with one hand, allowing the XPS to split into as many as four separate handheld shields (NIJ Level III only), allowing team members to break away with ballistic protection to clear additional areas, simultaneously.
The PROTECH® Intruder™G2 Type IIIA shield from Safariland® (a BAE Systems business) is the first of its kind to incorporate a unique triangular viewport. The Intruder G2 shield features an innovative, enlarged, 6.75 inches x 15.50 inches (at widest points), triangular viewport which provides increased overall visibility compared to a standard viewport. This multi-layered viewport design contains overlapping acrylic and polycarbonate laminate ballistics in the front and back, which reinforces the seams and provides protection from handgun threats.
The Intruder G2 also features the following: Standoff platform and padded forearm rest on the body side of the shield that provides additional ballistic impact standoff protection against backface deformation; Horizontal ambidextrous handle that allows the shield operator's arm to be kept vertical in a strong-arm position utilizing skeletal support; High-intensity, strobe-capable LED dual lighting system; Two non-skid, rubber rake bars for added protection from wear and tear; and Quick release strap for additional support when carrying the shield.
The Intruder G2 is made of 100 percent uni-directional polyethylene material with a rugged, state-of-the-art vacuum-molded outer skin. The ballistic shield measures 20 inches x 33 inches in size, weighs approximately 21 pounds, and offers 660 inches (total area) of coverage.
The new Go Shield™ from Point Blank is a lightweight and durable hands-free shield that provides instant protection when crisis intervention response is required. The shield includes an ambidextrous quick release, adjustable padded sling and hard armor plates to allow for protection against rifle bullets. The shield can be rolled up and secured to itself, ready for quick deployment.
The Go Shield is becoming the armor product of choice for Active Shooter Response SWAT, Hostage Rescue, Patrol, Sniper Protection, School and Class Room Safety, Officer Down Drills, Maritime Ship-Boarding, Court Services, Felony Car Stops and Takedowns, Ballistic Blanket for Dignitary Protection and Political Bodies (council chambers, judges benches, etc.), and more.
BLAUER - www.blauer.com
Blauer's ArmorSkin™ is the first armor integration uniform system for law enforcement that provides relief from the heat and discomfort of conventional carriers, maintains a uniform look, and helps to alleviate lower back and hip pain. The system consists of the ArmorSkin™ vest, which covers an officer's existing carrier, a StreetShirt™ (a performance uniform shirt) worn as a base-layer or as an alternate uniform shirt, and an optional duty-belt suspension system integrated into the vest.
ArmorSkin matches Blauer uniform fabrics and is designed to look like a uniform shirt, maintaining a professional appearance in the field. ArmorSkin and Street Shirt utilize breathable mesh and performance moisture wicking fabrics that are lightweight and provide quick-dry comfort in key areas. Universal armor carrier fit and easy adjustment at shoulders and sides allows an officer's existing ballistic carrier and pads to be fitted and worn exactly as they would under a uniform shirt.
Stretch fabrics and two-way zippers offer mobility, quick donning and doffing, and more coverage. The Suspension System balances weight of the duty belt between the shoulders and hips and allows for a looser duty belt fit, improving circulation and decreasing the risk of lower back and hip pain or resulting sciatica.
ELBECO - www.elbeco.com
Elbeco, Inc. announced the addition of the V1 TexTrop External Vest Carrier (V1) to its line of professional performance uniforms. The V1 is a cosmetic outershell designed to be worn over a uniform shirt. It houses wearers' existing vest carriers in their original concealable carrier delivering a clean, professional uniform look. When paired with an Elbeco TexTrop shirt, the vest is virtually undetectable even at close range.
The V1 TexTrop External Vest Carrier is designed to identically match the company's TexTrop shirts. It is available in 17 different sizes to accommodate a wide range of both male and female vests. The external vest carrier concept allows for optimal breathability and ventilation for the wearer while providing ease of removal and donning. Back-to-front hook and loop side panels provide a user-friendly mechanism to tighten or release the vest as necessary.
Unlike some external vest carriers that require ballistic panels to be removed from their current carrier and reinserted into the vest, the V1's design incorporates the wearer's existing concealable carrier so there is no need to remove and reposition panels. Officers can insert their entire carrier into their V1, and the carrier can be easily removed for laundering.

Point Blank's latest Crossover carriers Gresham and Endeavor combine the ergonomic design of a concealable carrier with the functionality of a load–bearing vest. Available with the most frequently requested tactical features, these multi-functional carriers offer the lightest weight protection available in a covert design that allows the patrol officer to easily don and doff in seconds while meeting his / her mission-specific needs.
For protection against high-powered rifle rounds, both Gresham and Endeavor feature a front access, triple pocket design to accommodate a choice of 5-inch x 8-inch, 8-inch x 10-inch or 10-inch x 12-inch Level III or IV hard armor plates. In addition, the patrol officer can also protect himself / herself against electroshock weapons such as TASER devices by upgrading the crossover carrier with Point Blank's ThorShield technology.
