Bethel Quartet
is Officially
President Wingblade announced
that effective today Bethel has
reappointed the quartet consistii,
of Robert Sandin, Paul Leafblad,
Don Patet and James Rentz to re-present
the school in an official
This quartet visited sixty-five
churches during the summer in
seven states, covering nearly 7,000
miles. They brought the message
of the Gospel in song and story,
and also represented the school.
Robert Sandin was the preacher
of the group, and brought appropri-ate
messages during these concerts.
Jim Rentz was the manager; Paul
Leafblad, driver; and Don Patet,
Recalling the summer tour, Bob
Sandin said : "In evaluating the
work of this summer, we say with
one voice that it was worth every
whit of labor it required. We know
of but one individual who accepted
the salvation of God in our meet-ings,
and we feel that we have
failed in carrying out that part of
our work. There were probably
results that we cannot see, but
whether there were or not, the
knowledge that we helped that one
to find the Christ has made the
whole summer worthwhile."
White Lectures
On Atom Energy
The first in a series of school
year convocations was presented
Tuesday evening, September 23, by
Mr. Harry C. White, now connected
with the General Electric Co. Mr.
White had formerly been with
Steinmetz and Edison for fourteen
years; then during the war he was
employed at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Mr. White's material included
radium and radio-active minerals;
thus he proceeded to show how
these minerals contain atomic ener-gy.
Radar and electrons were seen,
and a recording of electrons sent
to the moon was heard and seen.
Fluorscent and phosphorescent
cloths were shown in the black
light. Mr. White ended his unusual
lecture by showing a beautiful
flag made of fluorescent cloth,
glowing through the power of
radio-active minerals.
Homecoming to
Be October 24-26
Bethel alumni and students are
anticipating the enjoyable and
spiritually invigorating advent
of Homecoming, October 24th —
26th. Under the leadership
of Byron Skalman, plans are
being made for a varied weekend.
These plans include a football
game with Austin Junior College
on the afternoon of October 24,
and possibly a buffet style banquet
in the evening. Edwards Memorial
Field will be a popular place Sat-urday
afternoon, while open house
will be featured on the campus
Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
Rockstad to Be
Guest Speaker
Rev. Ernest Rockstad, speaker
for Deeper Life Week beginning
next Monday, is a Bachelor of
Divinity from Bethel Seminary.
Brought up a Lutheran, he attend-ed
college first at St. Olaf where
he obtained his Bachelor of Arts
In preparing for the Lutheran
ministry, Mr. Rockstad studied at
Luther Theological Seminary in St.
Paul. It was during his course of
study that he felt called out of the
Seminary by God to carry on
evangelistic work, and was convin-ced
of the Baptist interpretations
of the Scriptures.
Rev. Rockstad has served pastor-ates
in Brainerd, • Isle, and St.
Louis Park (Minneapolis).
Especially concerned over the
dead state of Christians and con-vinced
that there must come a real
revival to our churches, Mr. Rock-stad
is now engaged in full-time
evangelistic work. He preaches
the all-sufficiency of Jesus Christ
for every need, and rejoices in the
fact that "our God is marching on."
Rev. Rockstad is married and
has a three year old son. For the
most part, Mrs. Rockstad and the
son, Philip, travel with him. Mrs.
Rockstad aids here husband in
meetings by acting as pianist and
singing solos.
Rev. Ernest Rockstad
Students Attend
Iowa Fall Rally
Thirteen Iowa students rented
Bethel's newly acquired elongated
bus this past week-end for a trip
to Davenport, Iowa to attend .their
State B. Y. P. U. Fall Rally. Among
the group were Bob Nelson and
Leland Miller, president and vice-president
respectively, of the Iowa
Baptist Young People. Miss Berg-quist
accompanied this delegation
as ehaperone.
Meetings Set
Twice Daily
Beginning at chapel hour next
Monday morning and continuing
through the Friday evening vesper
service, Deeper Life Week will 'be
observed by Bethel students, May-nard
Johnson, President of the
Religious Council, announced this
week. He declared, "Final arrange-ments
have been completed for
these special meetings, and we are
happy to report that Rev. Ernest
B. Rockstad will bt the special
Deeper Life Week will consist
of two services a day for students.
The first meeting of the day will
be held in the morning during the
regular chapel hour. A second daily
meeting will begin promptly at
6:30 p.m.
Special music and singing will
be featured at each service. Carl
Olson will be the song leader for
morning services. Roy Nelson will
direct singing during evening ves-pers.
Theme for Deeper Life Week
is "Our God is Marching On".
Emphasis will be given to the
fact that revival is a necessity in
these days of confusion, and that
revival is a reality today because
of God's power.
The Religious Council planned
for Deeper Life Week, October 6
through 10, in cooperation with
the Elim Baptist Church of Minn-eapolis.
Rev. Rockstad will conduct
a series in Elim Church during
the evenings next week.
Bethel Family,
To Be X-rayed
To quote Hamlet (not Bob!)
"TB or not TB? That is the ques-tion."
Can something be done
about it? Of course it can, and
Bethel will be the first school in
the city to take part in a drive- - -
the goal of which is to X-ray every
person in the city of St. Paul who
is over fifteen years old.
The Federal Unit will be at
Bethel about the middle of October
to X-ray all the Bethel family- - - -
faculty, students, and personnel.
It will cost nothing and each per-son
will receive a confidential re-port
of the findings.

The source of spiritual strength is the Lo/4
Himself, and the secret of -being strong is
trustful waiting upon Him. "Wait on the Lord,
be of good courage, and He shall strengthen
thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord."
(Ps. 27:14).
Wait on the Lord- - -because you NEED Him.
Each one, students and faculty alike, must
confess insufficiency and failure. Sometimes
the need is not keenly felt, but its presence
becomes apparent sooner or later. Anxiety,
depression, pride, covetousness, back-biting,
and moral defeat, these and many more are
indications of spiritual need. Let no one say,"I
have need of nothing".
Wait on the Lord- - -because He is the only
source of grace and power. "God hath spoken
once, twice, have I heard this, that power
belongeth unto God". (Ps. 62:11). Jesus said,
"All power is given unto me in heaven and
in earth". In the hour of testing, yea, in all
of life's hours, only God can be your safe
refuge and unfailing strength.
Wait on the Lord- - -because trustful WAIT-ING
is the only method by which God's grace
is obtained. This means active faith, not
passive quiescence. "They that wait upon the
Lord shall renew their strength".
"Wait, I say, on the Lord".
Edwin J. Omark
Development of a
Deeper Life
The term, "Deeper Life", has been used with
increasing frequency of late as we as a Christ-ian
school prepare for a week of services with
speCial emphasis on Christian Living. Perhaps
this term means little to some of the newer
students and even to some of the older stu-dents
of our school. The question may well
arise as to just what we expect to accomplish
by this expenditure of money and time on a
student body that is, in the large, Christian.
Some may consider it a time to secure ideas
on sermons, some as an attempt to evangel-ize
the few non-Christians in school while
others may consider it just another week of
preaching which they must endure because
they are Christian.
Of course, none of these answers are the
real motive in continuing the traditional ser-vices.
The reason we must have them yearly
is because vital Christianity cannot be inheri-ted
along with books, classes and buildings.
It has been suggested that "Deeper Life
Week" is a period of self-examination in which
we stop looking around ourselves and peer
into the depths of our hearts. In so doing, we
must, of necessity, find there the things that
are hindering our relationship with the Lord,
and holding back complete and constant sur-render
to the Lord's will.
t ao rc i
There is no doubt that the big news of
the week was the football game between
Rochester and Bethel. Our team showed up
splendidly and accounted for itself in true
Bethel fashion. One sidelight on the game,
which few people know about, was the fine
spirit that prevailed throughout. As a matter
of fact the Rochester dean telephoned Dean
Carlson and expressed his pleasure over such
a spirit. This sort of thing is indeed unusual
in inter-collegiate relations— a real testimony
for our Indians!!
There's something about a second cup of
coffee that makes you want to relax and think
back- - -well you know how far. Things are
really different around here. There was a time
when the boarding club gang thought they
were busy if they served 300 meals per day.
Now every day almost 1,000 meals are served.
Then there was a time when the dishes were
washed by hand. Can you imagine what it
would be like washing 1,000 dishes that way?
That's about our daily number now. Then re-
- member the time when 15 gallons of milk per
day was plenty? It now takes 80 gallons. Re-member
when the milk bill was large if it
got to be $100.00 per month? Now it's almost
$1500.00 Meat- - - -its almost out of the ques-tion.
The meat bill for the month of September
will be over $2,000.00. Yes, things have really
changed around here!
It's almost time to go now, but there's one
more thing I'd like to mention. Most of us
have the opinion that if we pay our tuition
and board bill we are paying our way through
Bethel. This is by no means true. I've spent
some time collecting a few statistice that I
feel should be made known lest at times we
should get careless. In the year 1939-40, for
every $100.00 paid by the student $140.00 had
to be paid by the conference. In 1946-47 for
each $150.00 paid by the student, $162.00 had
to be paid by the conference. These figures
are for the college. The seminary is quite
another picture. In the year 1939-40, for each
seminary student, the conference had to raise
$400.00. In 1946-47 for each student it was
necessary to raise $639.00.
I feel that such figures need no further
explanation. I might add, however, that none
of these figures include the cost of main-tenance
of the buildings or any of their equip-ment.
So let's stay on the ball, gang, becau-se
somebody's sacrificing so that we can be here.

The trend of the times seems to -be that
young men's fancies are beginning to turn
quite a bit earlier than usual this year. "Eager
beavers" are already loitering around in the
Bodien Hall entrance, the only free telephone
between the hours of 7 and 11 p.m. is in
the Dean's office, and Cupid has already de-livered
one "sparkler" on campus. So you see
the social life at Bethel is runing true to

by President Wingblade
I suppose that there are very few of us here
at Bethel who are not here- - - -because some-body
backed our lives up with love and de-otion
and prayerful sacrifice. If that is aue,
we must not forget it.
We must remember it by showing appreci-ation
in words, but especially in living. We
must not disappoint those who have invested
so much in us.
We should be at our best for many reasons.
One is- - - -for their sakes.
They are hoping that we shall do well in our
studies, of course. Also they covet for us good
health, which can only obtain as we keep good
habits and are careful of our bodies. But most
of all they want, no doubt, that we shall live
high and noble Christian lives.
They desire that we shall surpass them, be
a greater success than they have been. That
would be their joy. When a certain father
was reminded of the fact that his son was
doing better than he, the father replied, "He
ought to do better; he is standing on my
And then we should keep in constant touch
with them and tell them something of our
problems and of our progress. They long to
share with us.
In the Y. M. C. A. reading rooms of large
cities we often see framed on the wall the
words, "Did you write home today?" That is
a pertinent question. The least we can do is
to send Mother and Dad a line, If not every
day- - -then often. We cannot now fully realize
how much that means to them, although it
costs us so little of time and effort. -
When the time comes that we shall look
back across the vista of years, it may be
that the letter we did not write will be the one
which will bring the most poignant pain to
the mind and heart. It is within our power
now to make such a regret altogether un-necessary.
May we profit by the retrospect of Elsie
Duncan Sanders as set forth in the following

However, I think his uniform is a bit
too light for these cool evenings we have been

Prof. Samuel Schultz
Mr. Samuel Schultz is another
addition to our college and sem-inary
faculty. He comes to us from
Harvard University where he has
just completed a course through
which he has earned a S. T. D.
Starting in Bethel Institute he
earned his A. A. in 1938. From
here he went to University Park,
Iowa to attend Kletzing Univer-sity.
Professor Schultz majored in
history and graduated with the
1940 class with a B. A. The B. D.
that decorates the wall above his
desk came from Faith Theological
Seminary in Wilmington, Delaware.
In 1945 he enrolled at Harvard and
obtained his S. T. D. after many
years of hard work.
During his studies at Harvard
he was also pastor of the Confer-ence
Church at Belmont, Mass.
Part of his past experiences also
includes teaching Bible at Gordon
College in Boston.
Mr. Schultz is married and has
a seven month's old baby girl. They
reside in one of the apartments in
the married couple's dorm.
We feel sure that he will leave
a lasting impression on all those
whom he comes in contact with,
by his radiant testimony for the
Lord Jesus Christ. We feel certain
that he will leave with us much
knowledge of our Lord, and what
He has done for us.
Married Couples
Plan Co-op
You know, those married couples
are a pretty lucky bunch of people.
How many people do you know
who can sit home and watch a
football game from their living
room window? Well, by all appear-ances
at a recent game, the couples
with the most advantageous views
at Edwards field were really taking
advantage of the situation.
The other day the couples from
the Hagstrom Residence and the
trailer encampment met and de-cided
to organize. So a committee
for setting up a constitution and
a nomination committee were selec-ted.
Another committee is investi-gating
the possibilities of quanity
purchase of foods for the couples.
Students Follow
Team Friday
Come on gang! Let's follow the
team Friday night! Plans
been completed that make iitt pos-sible
for Bethel fans to go to Roch-ester
for the Indians' game with
the Yellow Jackets that will be
played under the lights. A charter-ed
bus will leave from in front of
the girls' dorm at approximately
5:45 P.M. The evening meal will
be served earlier for the benefit
of those going on the trip. The bus
ticket will cost $1.75, and the
game admission will be your stu-dent
activities card plus thirty
cents. Special late leaves will be
given to all (even freshmen) for
this occasion.
On the Sidelines
For several weeks now we have
seen our gridders practicing on the
campus. Some of the girls may
have been impressed with that
"husky" appearance the boys have
displayed. Just don't let 'em kid
you gals. With the exception of
that roll around Manske's waist
(that's genuine), it's all padding.
Incidentally, it seems a shame that
the boys have to roll on the ground
and get those nice new uniforms
dirty. Especially so, when you get
a peek at the price tags on that
gear. Did you know that those soft
helmets they wear to protect their
heads (it's a fact) actually cost
$14.00 or more. Some bonnet! Add-ing
up the cost of shoulder pads,
hip pads, helmets, jerseys, pants,
shoes, etc., I found that it costs
$60.00 or more to "suit-up each man
on the squad. Then there are the
footballs, first aid equipment, and
dummies (the canvas ones) in add-ition.
Taking all this into consider-ation,
we can really appreciate the
advance our school is making in
the athletic department.
Not to be overlooked among the
many improvements on our campus
this year is EDWARDS FIELD. A
vote of thanks is in order for the
fellows who converted the "no-man's
land" between the school
buildings and the dorms into a
gridiron. Bob Sandin, Ken Green-man,
and John Dischinger, working
under the able direction of Paul
Edwards (and family), did a swell
job in marking out the field. The
Phy-Ed classes had a share in fill-ing
in the ditches and digging out
the boulders. Even Eric's daughter
helped out by riding that bucking
lawn-mower through the weeds on
the north end of the field. It was
a tough job done well, and though
EDWARDS FIELD may not be the
best gridiron in the land, it points
the way to that future day when
Bethel will have a fine stadium.
Good work, Paul!
It seems that in the rush for
stories on coaches, football players,
practice sessions, etc., that a
couple of fine "gents" were over-spoitts

This week's sports personality
is LeRoy Sandberg who is really
well-known to second year stu-dents.

the fair haired lads of St. Paul. He
is nineteen years old, weighs 160

attended Johnson High School
where he played basketball for
several years. Last year he was
one of Coach Paul Edward's key
men on the basketball court, and
this year he will be out there
again working for that forward
position that he played so well.
Although "Sandy" didn't play any
football in high school, he has
been playing a good game on the
left end of the Indian forward
wall. He has been tackling hard,
and should be pulling in some of
those long passes that count be-fore
the season is over.
This is "Sandy's" second year at
Bethel, and though he hasn't de-cided
on his future plans, we hope
that he will be on our campus for
another couple of years. His home
church is the Payne Ave. Baptist
Church in St. Paul.

Cal Ferniand, co-managers of the
football squad, who have been do-ing
a fine job with the liniment,
tape, and equipment.
The cheers and applause that
Bethel fans gave the team in the
opening game were wonderful. You
fans are as much a part of the
game as the eleven fellows out
there representing you. Keep
cheering! ! It's a real boost!
It might interest some of the
readers up Brainerd-way to know
that "Whitey" Skoog visited our
campus last week. He is an older
brother of Ronnie Skoog who play-ed
on our varsity 'basketball team
last year. "Whitey" is an exception-ally
fine basketball player, but
unfortunately for Bethel, he is en-rolled
at the University of Minn-esota
where he is majoring in
physical education.
High Hopes for
Return Game
Profiting from the experience of
their defeat last Friday at the
hands of Rochester, a squad of
thirty determined gridders buckled
down to two weeks of intensive
drill in preparation for a return
match-with the Yellow Jackets on
October 3.
Coach Arch Skalbeck began last
Monday to concentrate in practice
sessions on perfecting blocking
technique and pass plays. Team
play has improved considerably
from session to session, and while
they have not reached top per-formance
as yet, the footballers
at times show a smoothness
which ought to characterize them
as they continue their drills and
gain more experience.
The entire team has plenty of
pep and hustle, and it is certain
that a better conditioned team than
the one that performed here ten
days ago will take the field in
Rochester on Friday.
Here's a column, guys and gals,
which is a little out of the ordinary
for The Clarion, having nothing to
do with Bethel; but we feel it
might prove interesting to you who
come from Big Nine States. In this
issue we'll attempt to give you a
brief outlook over the whole field
and give our selections for this
year's Championship, which will
go to the Rose Bowl, by the way.
Well, here it is!
Michigan seems to get the nod
on the strength of triple-threater
Bob Chappuis and the team's re-cord
of last year plus thirty re-turning
Illinois comes a close second be-cause
of last year's Championship
and Rose Bowl victory plus five
returning regulars.
If they get the breaks, Indiana,
Ohio State, and Iowa could con-ceivably
cop the title as all three
are pretty well balanced in both
line and backfield.
Our beloved Gophers of Minn-esota
seem lacking in backfield
strength although the line looks
quite good. With some good luck
Minnesota might surprise the
experts and win a few more games
than expected.
Bringing up the rear we find
Northwestern, Purdue, and Wis-consin,
who will get tough, though
not of championship calibre.
You readers may not agree with
these selections and only time will
tell whether the teams agree or
not; but nevertheless there they
are! If they're wrong, don't blame

Hans Bellmer
Atlas Anti-Classics 14
HANS BELLMER (1902-1975) is one of the most illustrious names in the field of erotic art and Surrealism. The Doll comprises a series of photographs that have acquired iconic status and which exemplify the Surrealists' conception of "convulsive beauty". They are accompanied by a body of theoretical, poetic and speculative texts written between the 1930s and early 1960s which reveal Bellmer as one whose ideas are a "scandal for reason" (Joë Bousquet).
The insight Bellmer's writing provides into his work is crucial. He weaves together a remarkably disparate set of concepts - covering such diverse fields as the body, psychology, anagrams, chance, the laws of optics and mathematics, the fourth dimension, hermaphroditism, the marvellous, intuition - into a theory of eroticism which forms the underlying rationale of his fearsome art.
This English edition is based exactly upon Bellmer's original, the texts having been translated for the first time from the final German version.

WASHINGTON — A majority of Supreme Court justices expressed deep skepticism Wednesday about a federal law denying benefits to legally wed gay and lesbian couples, conveying after two days of historic hearings on the institution of marriage a sense that they would declare the law unconstitutional.
During oral arguments over a challenge to the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ticked off some of the 1,100 federal benefits the law denies to gay couples who have been legally married in Massachusetts and eight other states: They are not guaranteed family medical leaves, cannot collect spousal Social Security benefits, and cannot file joint federal tax returns and receive a marital deduction.
"With that set of attributes, one might well ask, what kind of marriage is this?" said Ginsburg, interrupting an attorney who argued the law does not violate states' rights.
As a result of the law's regulations, Ginsburg added, the nation is left with two classes of marriage: "Full marriage and this sort of skim-milk marriage," she said, drawing laughter from the packed courtroom.
The brief levity belied two hours of tense arguments over one of the nation's most volatile social issues: same-sex marriage. The tenor of the questioning raised hopes among gay marriage supporters that the court may toss out DOMA, as the law is known, in a decision expected this summer. The arguments followed Tuesday's hearing over a parallel case concerning the constitutionality of a California referendum banning same-sex marriage.
Several justices Wednesday expressed doubt on whether Congress even can monitor marriage.
"The question is whether or not the federal government, under our federalism scheme, has the authority to regulate marriage," said Justice Anthony Kennedy, making the point at least five times during the one-hour oral arguments on the merits of the case.
Kennedy's comments indicate that the fate of the law may hinge less on whether same-sex couples face discrimination and more on whether the power to regulate marriage falls to states or the federal government. Kennedy is widely considered the swing vote on the court.
"It's a really interesting twist,'' said Robert Smith, a Suffolk University law professor who teaches about constitutional law and the Supreme Court. "I think he sees this as a pathway to an outcome that is consistent with his view of federalism that does not reach the most controversial question about equal protection. It puts that off for another day, thinking that maybe it's a little early for the Supreme Court to take a strong stand when we can wait awhile to see what happens in the political process."
In the meantime, Smith said, the court could use a states' rights argument to both strike down the Defense of Marriage Act as well as make a very narrow ruling on the California case that would limit the impact to only one state, if it is not dismissed altogether.
Attorney General Martha Coakley of Massachusetts, who attended Wednesday's arguments and who had led the first state challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act in 2009, said she was encouraged by the justices' questioning.
"This is a historic moment for the intersection of law and social policy," Coakley said. "For the lawyers and judges, it's an argument. For most of the people inside and outside the court, it's their lives."
Last May, the US appeals court in Boston granted equal federal benefits to gay couples in much of New England on the grounds that DOMA violates the federal equal protection clause.
The case before the court Wednesday involves an 83-year-old New York widow, Edith Windsor, who was forced to pay more than $363,000 in federal estate taxes after the death of her female spouse because their marriage is not recognized under federal law. The estate tax would not have been owed had Windsor been married to a man.
The court's more liberal justices attacked DOMA. Justice Sonia Sotomayor questioned the ability of the federal government to single out a class of people it didn't like — in this case, homosexuals — for discrimination when it comes to benefits. "What gives the federal government the right to be concerned at all at what the definition of marriage is?"
Justice Elena Kagan dismissed claims by Paul Clement, the attorney defending DOMA, that Congress created the law to promote uniformity among states and instead suggested that it was done out of "dislike, fear, and animus."
She later drew gasps from the audience when she quoted from a 1996 House report that said Congress decided to "reflect and honor a collective moral judgment" and express "moral disapproval of homosexuality."
On the conservative side, Justice Antonin Scalia questioned the Obama administration's seemingly contradictory decision to call the law unconstitutional yet continue to enforce it.
"I'm wondering if we're living in this new world where the attorney general can simply decide, yeah, it's unconstitutional, but it's not so unconstitutional that I'm not willing to enforce it," Scalia said. "If we're in this new world, I don't want these cases like this to come before this court all the time."
President Obama, who last May became the first president to announce his support for gay marriage rights, said he viewed DOMA as unconstitutional. His administration took the unusual position of declining to defend the law in court, leaving that task up to the House Republican leadership, but it still enforced its provisions. President Clinton, who signed the law 17 years ago, when gay marriage was purely hypothetical, recently recommended that it be overturned.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. also chided Obama for his approach to the law.
"I don't see why he doesn't have the courage of his convictions and execute not only the statute, but do it consistent with his view of the Constitution, rather than saying, 'Oh, we'll wait until the Supreme Court tells us we have no choice.' "
Justice Stephen Breyer, summarizing the argument that the government needs to operate under a uniform rule, whether its DOMA or not, said: "There has been this uniform one man, one woman rule for several hundred years or whatever, and there's a revolution going on in the States. We either adopt the revolution or push it along a little, or we stay out of it."
If the court decides that same-sex spouses are legally entitled to receive federal benefits, the law would be relevant in any state that has legalized gay marriage. Currently nine states allow such unions, including Massachusetts, which became the first state to legalize gay marriage in 2003.
A Gallup poll two weeks ago found that a majority of Americans — 54 percent — would vote for a law conferring marriage benefits such as those for insurance, taxes, or Social Security to spouses of federal employees in same-sex marriages. Only 39 percent said they would vote against such a law.
Kris Mineau, president of Massachusetts Family Institute, who was in Washington for a rally opposing gay marriage, said he believes the federal government has every right to affirm marriage as an institution between one man and one woman.
"We have at least 6,000 years of recorded history on our side, and this debate over the last 10 years in retrospect is a flash in the pan," Mineau said.
The possibility exists that the court would dismiss the DOMA case if it decides it has no jurisdiction over the matter because of the Obama administration's decision against defending the law. Some observers said such an action would squander an opportunity.
"The court has a really important role here, and its job is to protect minorities," said Ara Gershengorn, partner with the Boston-based law firm Foley Hoag and coauthor of a friend-of-the-court brief filed on behalf of former cabinet secretaries and other senior administration officials against the Defense of Marriage Act. "It may be that the political process will get there, but the job of the court is to determine if this is violating the constitutional rights of these individuals today."Tracy Jan can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Obama Hearts NY
Advocates Optimistic About Latest Prospective Obama Appointees
December 16, 2008
Obama's HUD secretary pick, New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Commissioner Shaun Donovan, is somewhat of an enigma to AIDS advocates because HASA, the city's housing funding, is the purview of Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Service Linda Gibbs. But New York City affordable housing advocates say Donovan has made progress expanding affordable housing for poor New Yorkers.
"Shaun has been great for NYCCHA residents, and great for districts that look like mine," said City Council Member Letitia James, who represents Brooklyn. "I don't know who's going to step in his shoes, but they're big shoes to fill." James worked with Donovan on expanding inclusionary housing, which requires that a share of new construction be affordable to people with low to moderate incomes. She also said he committed to hiring minority developers for new projects in downtown Brooklyn.
The National AIDS Housing Coalition (NAHC) is hopeful that Donovan will make housing for people with HIV/AIDS a priority, starting with increasing HOPWA funding to $470 million , which would provide urgently needed housing assistance for an additional 40,000 people with HIV/AIDS and their families.
"As HUD looks at the overall housing portfolio, they need to make sure AIDS housing is in part of the mix," said Christine Campbell, Housing Works vice president of national advocacy and organizing and a NAHC board member.
NAHC is also calling on Donovan to finally fund the long-awaited National Housing Trust Fund. The National Housing Trust Fund is a permanent program with a dedicated source of funding not subject to the annual appropriations process, and was signed into law by President Bush in June, but no funding has been allocated yet. Funds for the Housing Trust Fund will come from annual contributions made by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which will hopefully have more money to contribute come 2010.
If You Can Make It Here, You'll Make It Anywhere
An architect by trade, Donovan was the point-person on Mayor Michael Bloomberg's 10-year plan to create or preserve 165,000 affordable housing units. In February, the halfway point, he announced that 70,000 units were already completed. However, its expected that the next leg won't be as productive because most of the completed properties were "restorations."
The current economic crisis will make building new properties, upon which Bloomberg's initiative depends, much more difficult. Coexecutive director of Make the Road New York Andrew Friedman said he worked with the HPD to require landlords to make repairs to buildings and was happy with the progress. He said there has been less progress expanding language access to people who have limited English proficiency. "Mostly, though, we've been able to work with [Donovan]," Friedman said.
According to City Limits possible replacements for Donovan in New York include Housing Development Corporation (HDC) president Marc Jahr; Enterprise Community Partners vice president and former HPD official Raphael Cestero; Alicia Glen of Goldman Sachs' Urban Investment Group, also a former HPD official; HDC and HPD veteran William Traylor of the Richman Group, a development company; Local Initiatives Support Corporation's New York City managing director Denise Scott; Ford Foundation scholar and former JPMorgan community development guru Mark Willis, and former HPD first deputy commissioner John Warren.
Carrión Goes to Washington, Too
Advocates are also (fairly) optimistic about Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrión Jr.'s appointment as head of the newly created Office of Urban Policy. Obama, the first president since Kennedy to hail from the big city, has stated his commitment to urban affairs, and AIDS is one of the major health issues facing big cities.
"Carrión has been supportive of people with AIDS and more importantly could expand his efforts in the Bronx to other cities," said Housing Works Vice President of New York Advocacy and Public Policy terri smith-caronia. Carrión has a background in urban planning, and fought to make more low-income housing available in the Bronx. He also headed Promesa, a human development corporation in the borough.
Carrión said in a speech in 2007 "The persistent bad news is that poverty and all its related issues remains a problem that grips still too many in our community. You and I know that this is the result of decades of bad public policy and the absence of a sensible urban agenda for our country."
Council Member James agreed: "It's critical we have an urban agenda. And like Shaun, Adolfo Carrion is a man who understands communities of color. Now we'll be able to focus on housing infrastructure, drugs, and health issues in a real way."

Planetary Nebulae -- A More Artistic Arrangement
These four planetary nebulae imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope all lie in our Milky Way Galaxy. Their distances from Earth are all roughly the same, about 7,000 light-years. The snapshots were taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in February 2007. Like snowflakes, planetary nebulae show a wide variety of shapes, indicative of the complex processes that occur at the end of stellar life.
He 2-47, at top, left, is dubbed the "starfish," because of its shape. The six lobes of gas and dust, which resemble the legs of a starfish, suggest that He 2-47 puffed off material at least three times in three different directions. Each time, the star fired off a narrow pair of opposite jets of gas. He 2-47 is in the southern constellation Carina.
IC 4593, at top, right, displays a prominent pair of jets on opposite sides of the dying star, ending in red knots of glowing nitrogen gas. IC 4593 is in the northern constellation Hercules.
NGC 5307, at bottom, left, displays a spiral pattern, which may have been caused by the dying star wobbling as it expelled jets of gas in different directions. NGC 5307 resides in the southern constellation Centaurus.
NGC 5315, the chaotic-looking nebula at bottom, right, reveals an x-shaped structure. This shape suggests that the star ejected material in two different outbursts in two distinct directions. Each outburst unleashed a pair of diametrically opposed outflows. NGC 5315 lies in the southern constellation Circinus.
This Hubble Heritage Team photo reflects a more artistic arrangement of the planetary nebulae.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — "Riffing on The Masters," an exhibition by textile artist Ruta Butkus Marino, is now open in the Beltz Gallery at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University.
Marino's name is likely familiar to many at St. Bonaventure. She was the Quick Center's senior curator from 2003 to 2007. She now works in the Psychology Department at John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio, after having served as curator of visual resources at John Carroll from 2010 to January of this year.
It was a 28-year career as bookkeeper of her husband's family business, the Chandler and Rudd Co., a gourmet grocery store in Shaker Heights, Ohio, that inspired the present exhibition.
Marino uses a collage method of appliqué with commercial fabrics to combine ideasand images, often to humorous effect. She combines her art history background with her extensive collection of commercially printed food fabrics to create the collages.
Some of her food quilts recognize the work of the Italian Mannerist painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, who created portraits of people using likenesses of food and other everyday objects. Another series takes off from a painting by Juan Sánchez Cotán, a Spanish Baroque painter of still-lifes.
Marino has found inspiration in works by such diverse artists as Sandro Botticelli, Andy Warhol, Henri Matisse, Jasper Johns, Mark Rothko and Jim Dine. She hopes viewers smile when they recognize the connections and visual puns.
The exhibition includes textiles hanging in the Quick Center's main atrium, part of a series of quilts by Marino that honor her friend and former quilting mentor Lee Marcus, who died of a degenerative neurological disease more than 15 years ago. "Always exuberant and full of vitality, Lee taught me to think outside the box when it came to quilts," Marino said.
Marino has worked as a librarian at the Cleveland Museum of Art Library and The Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, as well as editor of the Art Index for the H. W. Wilson Co. in the Bronx.
The exhibition runs through May 31.
Upcoming exhibitions at the Quick Center include:
About the University: Inspired for more than 150 years by the Catholic Franciscan values of individual dignity, community inclusiveness, and service, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them.

One of my favorite things about RuPaul's Drag Race is the closer look it offers us on the more technical aspects of drag like the costuming, the tucking, the wigs and the makeup. The amount of time that goes into contouring the performers' faces is astounding and the process is so intricate. If you need proof, check out this sped up video of Ivy Winters, one of this year's Drag Race contestants, as he uses makeup to transform himself into a queen, a ritual that takes upwards of 90 minutes. And here I can't even get eyeliner right.

Dear HIV
By Khafre Abif
March 22, 2012
This blog entry was written as part of the Write a Letter to HIV campaign. Find out how you can be part of this campaign, and write your own letter to HIV.
Dear HIV,
We were first introduced through our social network in 1989. I did not have enough information about you nor was I consciously connecting to my sexual behavior with my sexual identity. You traveled with your friend syphilis looking for any opening to attack and you both crashed the party. Your friend syphilis became noticeable while you went about your work without detection.
I found you hiding in 1991 when I went to get tested because I wanted to ask my girlfriend to marry me. I wanted to be responsible because I had unprotected sex with both men and women during the 1980s. You knew that I didn't believe that I was at risk because the men that I had sex with also had girlfriends. I think you knew that I was a perfect target because of the combination of denial, shame and internalized homophobia that was at work in my spirit and mind.
That combination continued well after I shared with the woman I wanted to marry. She said yes and we married and had a healthy son. My wife did not become infected nor did my son and I bet you were disappointed. That was a great victory for me; however you still had your hold on me. That combination I mentioned earlier kept me from sharing my status with my MaDear, sisters or even my best friend. Over the next five years I slipped further and further down a rabbit hole of darkness. My depression was severe internally as I wore a mask and poured all I had into raising my son and accomplished many things in my chosen profession.
In 1995, I am sure you thought you had me when I made up my mind to take a new position in New Jersey leaving my children's librarian post with the District of Columbia Public Library. My thought was that I would take my wife home to her native state and to her family so that I could die. That is a far as those thoughts went as my GOD had something else planned for me.
Shortly after starting my new job, finding a place for my family to live and a school for my son I joined my first support group. The chains of isolation began to loosen and it was not long before I shared my status with my MaDear. We shared the news with my sisters and my MaDear shared it with women in her life that would pray and support us both. The support group provided a way out of that deadly combination and up the rabbit hole I emerged. Beginning to attend national conferences, reading and researching to fill myself with the information I would need to live.
When I finally decided to begin taking medication, I began with 21 pills a day. It was not easy to perform as a professional librarian, primary care-giver to my son, committee work on Community Planning, and national library committees. You see, HIV, when the will to live became stronger than the will to let go I saw a way to defeat you.
There have been many continuous struggles that I had to face and overcome. After I told on you, I didn't have to face those struggles alone. I recognized that you thrive, live and have power in fear and isolation. Once that was broken I have been able to live and now take only one medication to fight your presence in my body.
Now these 23 years later, I have witnessed one son graduate from high school and enter college as a 6'8" basketball player with all the intellect and more that I poured into him. I have another child who stands 6'3" and gained early acceptance into Georgia State University neuroscience program for the Fall of 2012. I am remarried to a woman that absolutely loves me for me and sees me the same way that my GOD sees me. I am walking in the purpose that my GOD has for me and why He has kept me for His glory.
HIV, I share the life I have with others and free people to share with me. This work opens the door for healthy discussion, disclosure, seeking care and treatment for other who are infected by you. When Cycle for Freedom meets its mission, and Cornbread, Fish and Collard Greens: Prayers, Poems & Affirmation for People Living with HIV/AIDS reaches the hands of those who need a word that will lift their spirit and break the yoke of isolation, we will continue to LIVE. Then my GOD will have another assignment for me, His child.
You see HIV, according to my wife, it won't be you that takes my life, it will be her.

The story of how the tattoo worked its way on to American skin in the 1800's is unique to New York City, a place that is now considered one of the global hubs of the arts world and a place where seeing people with tattoo sleeves is just a part of everyday life. Last year a New York Times article reported that the Food and Drug Administration estimated that as many as 45 million Americans have tattoos. But it was not always this way. In fact, for 36 years there were essentially no tattoo shop storefronts in New York City because the City Health Department banned tattooing from 1961 up until 1997 due to an alleged series of blood-borne hepatitis B cases linked to Coney Island tattoo parlors in the late 1950's.
However, old-timer tattoo artists like Mike Bakaty of Fineline Tattoo, and Wes Wood of Unimax Supply Company agree that hepatitis was actually never linked to tattooing. Wood, one of the people who fought to get tattooing re-legalized, admitted that maybe there was one or two hepatitis cases involved with tattooing, but that was definitely not the real reason for the Health Department to pull the plug on tattooing.
"The Health Department's position was that they were against legalization because they didn't want to spend the money – they thought it was a waste of taxpayer's money. They even knew that no one was getting hepatitis or aids. When tattooing became popular people got concerned with that and people got the perception that because there is blood involved people are getting diseases – it's that perception that drove all this hysteria," said Wood.
Tattooing was considered deviant and it was associated with those in the realm of macho male drunken sailors, outlaw bikers, thugs, and criminals. "The best reason I ever heard for why tattooing was outlawed came from old Coney Island Freddie (old-school Brooklyn tattoo artist). His thought was that the Health Department was trying to 'clean up the city' in preparation for the World's Fair that was here in '64 – and that made more sense to me than anything," said Bakaty.
Instead of closing up shop, New York City tattoo artists like Bakaty and Wood began to operate underground for 36 years in secret backrooms and loft apartments until the prohibition years ended. The operating out of secret backrooms was possible because there was not heavily enforced.
Up until the ban was lifted Bakaty, now 76-years-old, operated out of a private loft in the Bowery and ran ads in the Soho Weekly
News even though, at the time, tattooing was a violation of the health code. He relocated Fineline Tattoo to First Avenue on the Lower East Side where he still tattoos today alongside his son, Mehai Bakaty.
Fineline Tattoo is a small tattoo parlor with its walls lined with the Bakaty boys' original flash art (tattoo designs) of dragons, eagles, tigers, panthers and Celtic knots. Fineline Tattoo is considered the longest continually running tattoo shop in Manhattan.
From the time it was born up, arguably, up until the 1980's a tattoo not only permanently inked a person's skin, but it also attached a stigma to that person – today this idea of a tattoo stigma has dwindled. Before one can get into how tattooing has worked itself so deeply into America's mainstream culture, one must start from the beginning.
The birth of tattooing in the United States and a German immigrant named Martin Hildebrandt go hand in hand. Hildebrandt set up New York's first tattoo shop on Oak Street in lower Manhattan where he tattooed soldiers who fought on both sides of the Civil War. The tattooing that Hildebrandt did on his daughter, Nora Hildebrandt, who is considered America's first professionally tattooed lady, was the most notable. Not only was getting tattooed socially unacceptable, but a woman who was inked was completely unheard of.
Another man highly responsible for the integration of tattooing into American society is a New Yorker named Samuel O'Reilly who opened up a tattoo shop at 11 Chatham Square in the Chinatown area of the Bowery in 1875. The Bowery area and Coney Island were considered the tattoo meccas of New York City during a significant portion of the 19th century and well into the 20th century.
Prior to 1891, the tattooing that men like Hildebrandt and O'Reilly did was done by hand. The tattoo machine used by these men consisted of a set of needles attached to a wooden handle. Tattoo artists of this age would dip these needles in ink and move their hand rhythmically up and down, puncturing the skin two to three times per second. Tattooing by hand was an extremely slow practice that took years of experience to perfect, even for the greatest tattoo artists of that time. This manual way of tattooing all changed when O'Reilly revolutionized tattooing in 1891 with his invention of the first electric tattoo machine, which was a modification of Thomas Edison's perforating pen.
This invention transformed tattooing into a quicker, more attractive process even though the pain one goes through to get a tattoo will never dissipate. Modern tattoo machines puncture the skin between 50 to 3,000 times per minute. The needle penetrates the skin by a millimeter and deposits a drop of ink into the skin with each puncture. It sounds like a grueling process, I know, but that doesn't stop anyone who truly wants a tattoo. It didn't stop me.
The way tattoo shops were run during the early 20th century are not the way tattoo shops are run today. Bakaty, who opened Fineline Tattoo in 1976 during the midst of the underground atmosphere of New York City's ban on tattooing, recalled that from the 1940's up until the mid 1960's there was virtually no sterilization, hygiene, or running water in tattoo shops – they were referred to as "bucket-shops." The artist would tattoo next to a bucket of water with a sponge in it, and that same bucket of water and sponge were used to wipe down every tattoo the artist did that day.
In those days tattoo artists had to have a sense of how to actually make tattoo machine tubes and needles. They couldn't just learn the technique from opening a book, like many tattoo artists do today, primarily because those types of "how-to-tattoo" books didn't even exist. During that age, the tattoo artists had to have knowledge of how the tattoo machinery worked and an understanding of the different types of pigments because tattoo supply stores were just not available the way they are today.
However, these same tattoo artists never even thought about sterilization, wearing gloves, changing the needles, or even changing the cups of ink after every client. Bakaty said that when the tattoo was finished the artists would swipe a glob of Vaseline over the fresh ink and stick a piece of newspaper to it – when the newspaper fell off the tattoo was considered healed. "Thank goodness that that's gone the way of the dinosaurs," said Bakaty.
In 1944 Charlie Wagner, one of America's greatest tattoo legends, was involved in one of the first instances of legal trouble for the tattoo world. He was fined by the city of New York for not sterilizing his needles. Wagner tattooed in the infamous Bowery for 50 years starting in the 1890's up until his death in 1953. Wagner took over the shop space at 11 Chatham Square, which originally was occupied by O'Reilly.
In 1936 a December issue of Life Magazine revealed that one out of every ten persons in the U.S was tattooed in whole or in part, which translated to about 10 million Americans or six percent of the population. This article also revealed that there were only 60 established tattoo artists throughout all of the United States. According to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, there are currently approximately 1,900 licensed tattoo artists in New York City alone.
"Tattooing in New York City in the 70's was essentially a dying art," said Bakaty. The fact that this tattoo culture was dying out
is primarily what got him interested in the world of tattooing. "Tattooing wasn't as out in the open as it is today. When I started tattooing there were probably 500 tattoo artists in the whole country, to tell you the truth," he said.
When the tattoo ban was inflicted many tattoo artists moved out of the city and preceded to evolve with the art form elsewhere, but for those tattoo artists who stayed the '80's was really when tattooing began to make its way into the mainstream.
"It started in the 1980's when tattooing was becoming a new artistic view – people wanted to disassociate their selves with the American view," said Wood who grew up in Long Island in the '50's and the only tattoos he ever saw were on Popeye. "America began to see good people had tattoos. When we saw Roseann Barr on television with a portrait on her chest that blew everyone away," said Wood.
Except for women like Nora Hildebrandt, it used to be a rarity to a see a woman with tattoos and now women make up half the clientele for most tattoo artists.
By the 1980's tattooing had become an integral part of society – it was no longer part of a subculture. In 1981 MTV, an American network based in New York City that was the first 24-hour music video cable channel, took over the air waves and had a prominent impact on the music industry and popular culture. During that time, many members of hair metal bands displayed on MTV such as Mötley Crüe, Black Sabbath, and Guns N' Roses had obscure tattoos on their arms and torsos. Tattoo popularity only grew from there.
There is no doubt that television has influenced the general public's perception of tattooing for better or for worse. Although some stereotypes associated with tattooing still persist, a stigma is definitely not associated with it the way it once was. Present-day tattooing has gotten a massive amount of exposure through the media, Hollywood, rock stars, celebrities ranging from Johnny Depp to Lady Gaga, and kitschy tattoo television programs like LA Ink or Miami Ink. All of these facets play a role as to why it is no longer considered taboo or deviant to get a tattoo.
The popularity and acceptance of tattooing has undoubtedly evolved over time and it will continue to evolve. A tattoo is a way to give your skin a permanent representation of who you are and where you've been, and judging from the history, there is always going to be a portion of the population that is going to want to get inked. Making it illegal couldn't even stop the tattoo world from evolving.
Tattooing through the eyes of the artists at Fineline Tattoo:

Youth Forum Breakfast, Abuja, Nigeria. Photo: Bamidele Emmanuel Oladokun / World Bank
In 2011 African heads of state met in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, for the African Union Summit. It was held under the theme: "Accelerating Youth Empowerment for Sustainable Development." The main aim of the gathering was to deliberate on Africa's youth which is growing faster than any other continent. More than 200 million people in Africa are between ages 15 through 24.
"Africa is the youngest continent. The current youth of Africa are not only important for Africa but also for the world," said Shantayanan Devarajan, Chief Economist for the World Bank's Africa region. Young people are usually the ones who lead innovation and are a source of labor force of any economy, Devarajan added.
I recently talked to him to find out what the World Bank is doing to help African youth.
There are a number of initiatives already taking the lead in putting Africa's youth to work. For example, in Uganda, a program to help girls ages 14 through 20 has achieved remarkable success. Girls who participated in the Empowerment and Livelihoods for Adolescent (ELA) project were 35 percent more likely to engage in income-generating activities, according to the project.
This project is successful and one of Devarajan's favorites.
He had just returned from Ghana. "I had a meeting with civil society groups in Accra—mostly to see how we can strengthen their hands," said Devarajan. Soon, it became very clear that the exciting part of this whole network is young people, he recalled with a smile. Devarajan interacted with Ghanaian youth via Google+ Hangout to talk about economic development. "Youth are doing tremendous amount on their own," he told the online audience during a Google+ Hangout when he was asked about what roles the World Bank could play in youth development.
Devarajan works with governments in Africa but says he wants to ensure that governments are not getting in the way of youth. He credits Africa's rise to tech savvy youth. "Without young people, you can't have tech growth," Devarajan asserted.
He believes one of the ways the World Bank has helped youth in Africa is by helping governments build technology infrastructure. Yes, it's true that youth who have access to technology are better off than those who are struggling to get digitally connected. I asked Devarajan what could be done to help those who are yet to be connected.
"That's where the Bank has to do some work," he said. Many youth work in the informal sector and earn very low wages. One of Devarajan's challenges is to help change government's attitude toward informal sectors so that they could grow.
To help youth, it is imperative to help informal sectors flourish. Devarajan opined that it's not that governments don't have infrastructure in place to create formal sectors jobs, but the challenge is that it's very hard to absorb large number of growing youth.
Informal sectors jobs would be instrumental in providing opportunities for growing young population in Africa. That's why, Devarajan said, countries should understand that "informal is normal."

The youth ball season is under way around the county.
As an annual rite of spring, many area youngsters, girls and boys from a variety of ages, will be involved with baseball and softball games from the county Panhandle to southern Lancaster County and all points in between.
It's a new season and the optimism is high.
There will be plenty of games on the diamonds for these youngsters from now to mid-summer to be a part of this season.
Some seminars might seem like just a way to pass time. But you might have a hard time convincing Lancaster County Sheriff's Deputy Brandon Rollins of that.
Last fall, while he was on a dinner break with fellow drug task officers at a Lancaster restaurant, someone tried to rob the restaurant. The incident led to shots and Rollins was wounded. He grabbed his side and realized it was serious, but the knowledge he gained from a seminar by longtime police trainer Dave Smith last year proved vital in his will to survive.
Whether it was a foreign country or in his native Palmetto State, John Platt was active in spreading love through the work of God.
Platt, who served 15 years in Lancaster at the Moriah Baptist Association, gave 52 years of his 78 years to serving God and spreading his word, no matter where he was.
A cancer victim, Platt died earlier this month.
The personable Platt had a knack for achieving mission work through his strong leadership and passion for his ministry.
The 2012 University of South Carolina Lancaster baseball season has been one of glowing proportions on the diamond.
The Lancers, who are in their fourth year of play in National Junior College Athletic Association Region X, are having a landmark campaign.
The Lancers started off strong, winning eight straight games to open the season.
It was obvious coach Steve Williams' team was going to be a force to reckon with this season.
Any doubting Thomases about the prowess of the royal blue and gold soon saw how strong the Lancers were.
Big Thursday of Lancaster Inc. brings together area University of South Carolina and Clemson supporters.
When they leave, as strange as it may seem, both groups of backers are likely sporting smiles – toothy grins worth of a good day.
The Big Thursday Scholarship Committee has produced plenty of big smiles over the last few years.
The committee works to help county students who attend the University of South Carolina Lancaster and Clemson University.
It's been quite a senior year for Indian Land High School star athlete Rondreas Truesdale.
The record-setting quarterback produced a stellar football season, leading the Warriors to a 7-4 mark and a second straight home berth in the Class AA Upper State playoffs.
He led the state in rushing 2,210 yards and scored 37 touchdowns this season.
Truesdale also became the fifth Warriors' player to earn selection to the annual North-South All-Star football game at Myrtle Beach last December.
Come mid-December, Buford High School head football coach Mike Wells is in for a real gridiron treat.
Wells, a veteran of 28 years in prep coaching, will experience one of the top benefits of being a high school football coach in the Carolinas as the Whare Shoals native will serve as a coach on the S.C. Shrine Bowl staff.
The Shrine Bowl is the annual all-star football game, which features the top senior players in the Carolinas.
To turn a tragic event into something positive can be a catharsis. Sharon Furr knows. April 4, 2009, was a tragic day for Furr and her family.
Furr's sister, Cindy Furr, and her 2-year-old niece, McAllister "Mackie" Furr, were on their way to church when one of two vehicles racing on S.C. 49 in the Lake Wylie community crashed into Furr's car. Furr died on impact and Mackie not long after. Also killed was 13-year-old Hunter Holt, a passenger in the car that crashed into Furr's vehicle.
Lancaster native Mike Oliver knew years ago as a mere teen he wanted to work in law enforcement.
He just didn't know his love for enforcing the law would lead him to the top of his profession in the Palmetto State.
It has, as Oliver is now commander of the S.C. Highway Patrol after being named to the elite post in December by Leroy Smith, director of the S.C. Department of Public Safety.
"I never dreamed that I would one day be the colonel," Oliver said. "I'm honored. I know it's a great responsibility."
Are you a warrior or a victim? That was the question Maj. Matt Shaw, undersheriff at Lancaster County Sheriff's Office, presented to those at a personal safety awareness class. A need for such a class was necessitated by the recent rage of violent attacks in Lancaster County.
Just days after Christmas, Kershaw resident Hope Melton was kidnapped, sexually assaulted and brutally beaten to death with a baseball bat. Her body was thrown in a desolate area known for coyotes and other animals.

11 of the Fastest Growing Green Jobs
Urban Growers
Photograph by Diane Cook and Len Jenshel, National Geographic
A chef picks "farm fresh" produce from an unusual source—a rooftop apple orchard planted among the high-rises of downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. The Fairmont Waterfront hotel project showcases two large sectors of the growing green-jobs movement: food production and green building.
Green roof gardens can deliver locally sourced foods that help protect the environment by minimizing the use of pesticides, fossil fuels, and other resources to grow and transport food to market from larger commercial farms. Green roofs can also improve the urban environment by insulating buildings against energy loss, managing storm water, improving air quality, and providing places of recreation.

Water Quality Technicians

Seeking creative solutions to a water quality control problem, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power began pouring some three million polyethylene balls into the Ivanhoe Reservoir in the summer of 2008.
The reservoir water had concentrations of naturally occurring bromide and bacteria-killing chlorine additives, and when that combination is exposed to UV rays bromate is produced—an unwanted carcinogen in 58 million gallons (220 million liters) of water used by some 600,000 Angelenos.
Engineers flooded the surface with the same type of balls that airports use to keep birds from flocking to wetlands beside runways, where they create a hazard to aviation. This solution isn't typical, because open-air reservoirs containing chlorine are increasingly rare. But water quality problems abound and their control is an increasingly important green job around the world.
Clean Car Engineers

Engineers work on an electric car prototype in a California factory. Manufacturing accounts for the bulk of U.S. green jobs—more than 462,000 of the nation's 3.1 million total according to the U.S Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report.
Transportation is another key green jobs category as a retooling auto industry is asked to remake the nation's fleet with vehicles that consume less fossil fuel and produce less pollution.
Transportation currently burns about two-thirds of America's oil and produces about one-third of its greenhouse gas emissions. Electric cars, like this one, are an exciting alternative but can only be as green as the ultimate source of their power. The renewable-energy sector is working to replace dirty fuels like coal with cleaner alternatives such as wind and solar.

These bales of compacted paper will soon be recycled at a plant in Bordeaux, France.
The United States recycles more paper than all other materials combined—excluding steel. In 2011 two-thirds of all the paper consumed in the U.S. was recovered, rather than dumped into landfills, according to the American Forest & Paper Association. And more than one-third of the raw material used at U.S. paper mills is recovered paper, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
This process creates green jobs—and makes a big impact on the environment. EPA statistics show that recycling a single ton of paper saves enough energy to power an American home for half a year, saves 7,000 gallons (26,500 liters) of water, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by a metric ton of carbon equivalent.

A diver measures ocean water acidity on the Great Barrier Reef, off Australia's One Tree Island, to help chart the evidence of Earth's changing climate and observe its impact on ecosystems.
As the world's nations try to move towards sustainable lifestyles and greener economies, it's essential that trained professionals monitor and analyze our impacts on the world around us and the natural resources on which we all ultimately depend for both wealth and health.

Adam Howland of Long Way Home uses green building techniques to help residents of Guatemala's San Juan Comalapa municipality. Long Way Home is helping to construct a school from ecologically friendly materials, such as earth, and discarded refuse, such as tires and plastic bottles.
The result is a safe, sturdy building and a new value for rubbish that is otherwise chucked into rivers or burned for lack of better disposal methods. The self-sustaining school will also green the environment for years to come by educating the area's youth about sustainable lifestyles and training them for work in the green economy.

An engineer tests solar cells in a Spanish laboratory, wearing protective clothing and eyewear that testifies to the power that can be harvested from the sun's rays.
According to the European Commission, production of solar cells and photovoltaic systems has doubled every two years during the past decade, though costs must continue to decrease, and efficiency increase, before PV can become a primary electric supply source.
Led by Germany, which has some 40,000 solar workers, Europe produces about 30 percent of the world's photovoltaic power. Japan and the United States are the other major users, though off-the-grid applications are surging in the developing world, where they provide crucial power to those in poor and rural locations.

The Living Roof does a lot more than keep the rain out of the California Academy of Sciences building. It's home to 1.7 million plants, each one of nine native species, from poppies to strawberries, specially suited to thrive in the unique climate of Golden Gate Park.
The 19,000-square-foot (1,765-square-meter) roof even boasts seven hillocks to mimic San Francisco's topography and skylights that open and close throughout the day to illuminate the building within.
The roof doesn't trap heat like a traditional asphalt application, so the building's interior averages some 10°F (5.6°C) cooler than it would be under a standard roof. That means big energy savings. Green design professionals from architects and landscapers to urban planners are part of a growing effort to green the spaces where we live and work.
Wave Energy Producers

The ocean is awash in perpetual motion, and devices like this Pelamis P2 wave energy generator can capture it to produce power. In November 2011, this 590-foot-long (180-meter-long), 1,300-ton rig on Hoy, in Scotland's Orkney Islands, became the first commercial-scale marine device to produce grid energy from offshore. It's 750-kilowatt rating generates enough power per year to meet the average electric needs of 500 homes.
The P2 is composed of five tube sections linked by joints that flex in two directions. Waves bend the partially submerged tubes at these joints, which house hydraulic cylinders to resist the motion and pump fluid into pressurized accumulators to generate electricity, which is then sent ashore using an undersea cable.
Though the potential of wave power is enormous, the industry is small today. Supporters hope that projects like this one portend future growth in the renewable energy sector.
Wind Energy Workers

A worker is dwarfed by an assemblage of wind turbine blades, warehoused and ready for shipment from the Siemens facility in Aalborg, Denmark. Proponents of wind power believe that the industry can become a giant part of global electricity production—perhaps producing as much as one-third of the world's total by 2050—and replace fossil-fuel industry jobs with greener equivalents.
U.S. Energy Information Administration stats for 2010 show that wind power has grown dramatically in recent years, from 28 to 60 percent annually, and now accounts for 2.3 percent of the nation's total electric power generation. The European Wind Energy Association reports that 6.3 percent of the EU's electricity was generated by wind in 2011.
Biofuels Jobs

Like a seedling promising future growth, a downtown Phoenix biofuel project produces sunflowers to test renewable energy technologies on a two-acre vacant lot.
The Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation and Phoenix Union Bioscience High School tackled the project with financial funding from Intel, enabling the high school to produce biodiesel from locally sourced sunflower oil.
The Energy Independence and Security Act (2007) mandates that renewable fuel must increase from 9 billion gallons (34 billion liters) of U.S. motor fuel in 2008 to 36 billion gallons (136 billion liters) by 2022. The policy makes rapid growth in biofuel jobs quite likely, including the construction and operation of ethanol and other biofuel plants, production of feedstock, and creation of delivery infrastructure.
