There's at least a tiny bit of good news in the grounding of an oil rig in the Beaufort Sea off Alaska: As of midday Wednesday, the Kulluk, which ran aground near Kodiak Island, didn't appear to be leaking fuel, thanks to its double hull of 3-inch-thick steel. We've learned some things about oil and safety since the Exxon Valdez. But the overwhelming lesson of the Kulluk, which broke free of boats trying to tow it to Seattle after its first season in the Beaufort Sea, is that for all the precautions taken by Royal Dutch Shell, neither the company's executives nor federal regulators were fully prepared for the hazardous conditions in the Arctic.
The rig, which has no propulsion system of its own, was being towed for maintenance before beginning its next season of drilling in the spring. That's supposed to be the routine: a spring-summer drilling season that ends Oct. 31, with the rig then towed to milder climates for the winter. But there were delays because of weather and equipment problems, including a lack of de-icing capability on the helicopters that were supposed to transport most of the crew off the rig before it could be moved. As a result, the towing didn't begin until the difficult days of winter.

What's That Noise?
QI own a 2001 Wrangler that I like to take camping, usually in the middle of nowhere, and usually during the summer. So I like to remove my Jeep's doors. The problem is that when I'm in the campsite I like to leave the keys in the ignition so I won't lose them. When I do that, there is that incessant beeping if the door is open. On my last truck, a 1996 Dodge Ram, it was very simple to remove the buzzer. I can't seem to find the Jeep's beeper. Can you help?Matthew D. FellowsLong Beach, California
A Dave Harriton at AEV (which builds stretched TJs, www.aev-conversions.com, 406/251-2100) tells me that what you're hearing is actually a tone generator that is integrated into the dash circuit. So it cannot be removed. Dave says that there are four switches that activate the unit: a driver's-door-jamb switch, a driver's seatbelt switch, a key-in-ignition switch, and the headlamp-on switch.
You might be able to accomplish your goal by eliminating or bypassing the door switch, but doing that could cause other issues. As far as we can tell, there are no simple ways to solve this problem.
The Fix Doesn't Fix It
Q I read with interest your answer to Jason Herrick's question regarding heating problems with his Bronco ("Par-Boiled Bronco," Oct. '01). My overheating problem is not with a Bronco, but with a Jeep Wagoneer. The things you said to try on Herrick's Bronco didn't seem to work on my Jeep, which still overheats. Any clues that will help me with my Wagoneer?Mike SmithLos Angeles, California
A I've heard from Jason since that letter, and my answer, appeared in Four Wheeler. He told me that his heating problem stemmed from a slight leak at the thermostat housing. This leak prevented any build-up of internal pressure. It should go without saying-but apparently it does not-that the entire cooling system must be completely sealed. It must exhibit no leakage whatsoever. This naturally includes the radiator cap. It must have a tight seal that holds pressure. Check the cap and the radiator's sealing lip for full contact, as the cap certainly is part of this equation.
Now, to your Wagoneer: I am not sure if it has an overflow catch tank. These overflow tanks do more than just catch the hot coolant. They also cycle the coolant as it heats and cools. That does two things-it keeps the radiator completely full of coolant, and it helps to eliminate any air bubbles in the system. Installation of a fan shroud, if yours is missing the stock item, would be a step in the right direction, but be sure that the shroud is big enough to pull air through the entire radiator, not just the radiator's centersection.
You might be tempted to turn to an electric fan, but I've got to tell you, I am not a real fan (pun, get it?) of electric fans, or flex fans either, for that matter. I believe that a fixed-pitch high-capacity fan that's driven by your engine's accessory drive belt is the best answer.
Now we come to something that is most likely the culprit. To get air to flow through the radiator into the engine compartment, air has also to get out of the engine compartment. Years ago I had a Wagoneer that had an overheating problem. I finally solved the problem by installing some hood vents and by cutting some two-inch holes in the inner fenderwells to allow air to escape. It made a world of difference.
Too Much Tire
Q I just bought a '91 Toyota 4x4 with a 22R-E four-cylinder and it can't turn the 32-11.50s on it. I've been wanting to run 38-inch Swampers but don't have the power, so I'm going to put a six cylinder in. What is your opinion of this, and do you have any suggestions that will help me get the 38s on the truck?Jon AnsleyElysian Fields, Texas
A Well I am sure that you can turn the 32s, just not very well in Fifth gear. Buick and Chevy V-6 engines are the most common engine swaps, but if you want to run the 38s, you have a lot of planning to do besides just an engine swap.
You need to look at all your options before jumping into this. First there is overall gearing. No matter what engine you go to, you have to keep the engine rpm in a range where the engine makes some power. This means lower gearing for both the axles and for the transfer case. Most people who run a tire that tall also run axle gears in the 4.86 range. There are some 5.38s and even some 5.71 gears available from Reider Racing (313/946-1330). However, with gearsets like this the pinion gear gets mighty small and thus becomes prone to breakage because of the leverage exerted on it by big tires.
I would suggest that the best way to go would be to install 4.86:1 gearing. Then, install either a 4:1 T-case reduction kit from Advance Adapters, a 4.7 Marlin Crawler (Marlin's Automotive, 209/252-7295) low-range kit, or one of the kits that allow the usage of two transfer cases in tandem. With the low gearing and the resulting torque multiplication, you then will run into other driveline problems such as broken frontends.
Now for the really bad news. There is no practical way to put 38s under your truck without going to a straight axle. Sure there are some specialty rigs out there-such as that owned by Top Truck Challenger Scott Ellinger-that run 36-inch tires with success, but the modifications read "expensive and extensive." I really suggest that you stick to a tire no taller than 35 inches. And if you want to eliminate breakage, 33s might be an even better choice. These are going to require a three-inch body lift as well as a three-inch suspension lift.
If you are going to swap to a solid axle, then Jon Bundrant at All Pro Off Road (909/658-7077) can help you out with the necessary conversion parts.
Both Advance Adapters and Downey Off Road (562/949-9494) have engine conversion kits to fit your needs. Do keep in mind the need to keep your vehicle emission-legal. Generally, that means that you must use an engine at least as new as that of the truck's, and all that engine's emission equipment must be transplanted into your truck and hooked up.
Building A Snow Plow
Q I am in the process of researching a truck for snow plowing. I don't have a favorite brand, but so far have looked at Ford, Chevy and Toyota. Heck, for the prices of the diesel option, I may end up purchasing a Hummer. The vehicle will also, of course, be used for four-wheeling the north woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
None of the manufacturers whose trucks I've looked at offer a special transmission for plowing, and that concerns me. The OEM snowplow kits consist basically of suspension, alternator, and cooling packages.
Lastly, a limited-slip rearend seems unavailable with a diesel engine, as does any gear ratio lower than 3.73:1. All of this is important because I'm trying to decide on diesel versus gas and am wrestling with power and powertrain configurations as related to fuel economy. Do you have any suggestions?Jeff ParksVia the Internet
A Yes. My suggestion would be the Chevy Duramax diesel with the Allison automatic transmission. This transmission is very strong. Additionally, it has a very low First gear. That 3.73:1 axle ratio is perfect with this low First gear. This combination comes with a transmission cooler so overheating wouldn't be a problem. Chevrolet offers an optional limited slip, but I wouldn't expect great things from it.
Small-Block Swap
Q I plan to install a Chevy 350 into my Land Cruiser. I am trying to find information on the project. Have you done articles on the subject in previous issues?R. VieraVia the Internet
A We have done several such stories, but I think that your best bet would be to contact Advance Adapters (805/238-7000, www.advanceadapters.com) and order up their "Toyota Land Cruiser Engine Conversion Kit" instruction manual. In it you will find just about every answer to any question you may have on installing the Chevy engine into your Toy.
There are quite a few shops that just deal in Toyota Land Cruisers. These include Downey Off Road Manufacturing (562/949-9494), Toyotas R Us (719/539-7733), and Land Cruisers Unlimited (208/687-2607). These shops perform conversions and sell conversion kits.
Keister Kicker
Q I just ordered an '02 Chevy 2500HD Crew Cab shortbed with the Duramax/Allison combo. Should be here end of August. It will be coming with 3.73 gears and 245/75R16 tires. I want to put on a 6-inch RCD lift with 35-inch tires. Will I need to regear, or will the Duramax be able to handle the taller tires? If not, what ratio would you guys recommend? Where would I get something like the Hypertech Programmer to recalibrate the speedometer and shift points? Also, does anybody make a power chip for this engine yet? My buddy put a power chip on his 2000 Dodge Cummins and it kicks butt. I am looking for the same type of gains. Any other performance modifications you could suggest I would appreciate.DaveChester, California
A Guess what, Dave, the new Duramax kicks butt without any modifications. I can say this because I bought one after participating in the initial pre-production comparison testing of the Chevy diesel versus the Ford and Dodge diesels. The Duramax is so new that the only thing that I know of in the form of modifications is a change in the exhaust system. It will most likely be a while before the aftermarket catches up with gears for this truck. So far, the only gear ratio available is the 3.73:1 from the factory. That's because this truck uses a different rear axle than the other GM HD trucks. They use the Corporate 14-bolt axle, which uses a 10.5-inch ring-gear. The 2500HD trucks powered by the Duramax 6.6L diesel use an axle built for GM by American Axle which uses a ring-gear that measures 11.5 inches in diameter.
As to the new engine and transmission combination being able to handle the 35-inch tire, that depends on what you plan to do with your truck. If you're going to haul 15,000 pounds behind it, then the answer would be no. If you're going to just four-wheel with it, and perhaps haul around a camper, then probably you won't have any problems at all.
A Grand Lift
Q In regards to your Jeep Grand Cherokee project ("Ain't It Grand," July 2000), I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9L Limited with the Quadra-Trac full-time transfer case. I need (want) to lift it. I called and asked one of Rubicon Express' phone reps about that company's 411/42-inch lift and was told that with the full-time transfer case, this much lift would tear up the front U-joints because of the resulting severe driveshaft angle.
How was your project Jeep affected after you lifted it? Please tell me that it really didn't affect the frontend too much. Would you recommend the 3-inch lift over the 411/42-inch lift?Judson MantheyCamp Lejeune, North Carolina
A Project "Ain't It Grand" used a 3-inch Terra Flex system just so driveshaft vibrations would not bother us. Yes, I do know of those using 4 inches of lift and more on Grand Cherokees, and yes, they do have driveshaft vibrations. The front shaft is quite expensive to replace but if you can live with the vibration and the price of a new front driveshaft every 30,000 miles or so, go for it.
Unfortunately, the vibration also affects the bearing on the pinion shaft and in the transfer case. How much damage it does is unknown. A solution would be to replace the original frontend with a high-pinion Dana axle to reduce the driveshaft angle.
Pick-A-Part Bronco
Q I recently bought a '75 Ford Bronco chassis. I want to convert it to disc brakes but don't want to buy an expensive kit. I have heard you can swap in parts from other trucks instead. First I heard that you could directly replace the old knuckles with those from a '78 Bronco with disc brakes. Second, I heard that you could use the knuckles from a '70s Blazer. I have been told that you use the Chevy knuckles and the Chevy calipers with the Ford rotors and spindles. Third, I have been told that you can use the knuckles and brake system off a newer truck, such as an '88 F-150. What can you tell me about this?Andrew BernardVia the Internet
A To get the straight scoop I went to Jim Cole, product manager and all around good guy, at James Duff Enterprises (360/683-2160, www.jamesduff.com). Jim works with customers every day on this stuff so he's pretty knowledgeable about it. Here's what he advises:
"You can use '96 and older fullsize F-150 and big Bronco knuckles, caliper brackets, spindles, and hubs, but you'll need custom steering linkage to work (i.e. cut and rethread the fullsize stuff to fit). The '78-'79s work best for this since they share the same pitman arm spline taper as the '67-'75 Broncos. Available from James Duff Enterprises are custom knuckles that use the steering arm configuration of the '75-and-older Bronco with the spindle-mounting pattern of the '75-'96 F-150 and Bronco. The knuckle is also beefed up with additional material in high-stress areas and uses stronger iron than a stock knuckle. The caliper bracket is designed just like the Ford item, with the same stronger iron used. Rotors, wheel hubs, and calipers are stock-type '76-'96 stuff. This setup means being able to keep all Ford items, and it uses off-the-shelf items (with the exception of the knuckle) for easy replacement down the road. The biggest benefit here is it's all in one kit, with no mismatched parts, so you know it works well. Also it is stronger than stock, uses stock steering components, and is basically how Ford did it. If replacement parts are needed, just hit the local auto parts store and collect the parts for a '76 Bronco."
Transmission Trauma I
Q I own a '97 Ford F-250 Crew Cab with a Power Stroke diesel, a five-speed tranny, and 4.10 gears. I bought the truck new and it was used as a work truck for three years. It has 137,000 miles on it. The problem is with the transmission. At 39,000 miles the synchronizers started going out. Now it's at the point where I need to fix it. My question is whether I should or not. I could put a six-speed manual tranny in it from a '99 or newer Ford F-250 or F-350. Will it bolt up directly or will it require a lot of modifications? An alternative that I would prefer is to convert it to an automatic. How much trouble would that be?Brent MurrayFrontenac, Kansas
A I consulted Ford truck guru Mike Kelly of Helena, Montana. He said that a six-speed will bolt right in. But to make this swap work, you will need a different flywheel and clutch, as the six-speed does not use a dual-mass flywheel like the five-speed does. Also, the output splines on the six-speed are much bigger than on the five-speed, so you will need the matching NV27 (manual shift) or NV273 (electronic shift) transfer case to complete the swap.
If you choose to go with the automatic, you will need some kind of a transmission-fluid cooler, a new steering column or a shifter, and most importantly, the correct engine-management computer and all the sensors and wiring.
Transmission Trauma II
Q My Ford F-150 has a four-speed automatic with Overdrive. Lately the trans is behaving strangely. Sometimes it shifts between First and Second or Third and Fourth gears really hard. Other times it seems to take a long time to make the shift. One repair shop tells me it's the computer while another tells me that the transmission needs to be rebuilt. Who's right? I hate to spend the money on rebuilding the trans only to find I need a new computer or vice versa. By the way, the truck has 95,000 miles on it.Jess WillisIndianapolis, Indiana
A Either shop could be right. A malfunction within the electronic control unit-the computer that oversees the functions of your truck's engine and transmission-could cause the erratic shifting. But my guess is that because of the mileage accumulated there is excessive wear of the line-pressure modulator sleeve, allowing oil to leak past this valve. If there is a lot of wear, the valve can stick, building up pressure until there is enough pressure to release it, thus causing a harsh shift. If this is indeed the trouble, you will in time reach a point where the trans may not even shift. I suspect it's time to rebuild that trans.
Bigger Gears, Or No?
Q I have a 2000 F-350 Super Duty with an 8.5-inch suspension lift and a 3-inch body lift on 42-inch Super Swampers. I have a stock Sterling 4.30 rearend. I will be towing a 21-foot boat that weighs 3,800 pounds. Will the existing rearend be all right, or should I change it?Mike KerberSimi Valley, California
A The rearend is plenty strong enough for the application, but the gearing isn't low enough for the application you mention. The 4.30:1 was the gear ratio that Ford figured it needed for a tire that was about 31 inches tall. With your 42-inch Swampers, your rolling radius has increased by about 5 inches. The practical effect is that your truck now has gears in the 3.30 range. If you think performance is lacking now, guess what it will be like with the boat in tow. To get back to factory equivalency the proper gear ratio to swap to would have to be in the 5.60:1 range. Unfortunately, the lowest ratio I could find for your Ford rearend was 4.56:1. So it all comes down to what you can live with or how much money you want to spend.
The way to lower gearing is to swap the axle out for a Dana 70 or a GM 14-bolt. To do this swap you're going to have to make some modifications to driveshaft lengths, spring pads, and brake hook-ups. Both the GM and Dana axles have 5.13 gears available. But that brings up another problem. Your frontend is a Dana 50, a hybrid that uses a special ring-gear that is about the same size of a Dana 44 but a lot heavier. According to our sources, the lowest gear ratio available for it at the present time is 4.56:1.
Willie's Workbench
Air Filter Maintenance
Every four-wheeler knows the importance of a clean engine air filter. But sometimes we don't maintain this important filter properly.
While factory-style pleated paper filters work just fine, some people feel that an aftermarket oiled gauze filter offers not only better air flow for improved performance, but better filtration and longer engine life. Whatever your filter element choice is, here are a few tips that will help prolong both filter and engine life with minimum effort and expense.
After a trip over a long, dusty trail, common practice is to take a paper element out of its holder and strike it against an object to dislodge as much dirt and crud as possible. That's fine, but don't do this with such force as to distort the filter's rubber sealing edge.
Some people like to use compressed air to blow their filters clear. This isn't a particularly good practice because excessive pressure can damage the filter's fibers. If you do choose to use compressed air, always blow from the inside of the filter toward the outside, and keep the air pressure fairly low.
You can let the oiled gauze filters get pretty dirty on the outside. In fact, up to a point, the dirtier they get the better, as the crud makes a barrier against fine dirt particles. How dirty is too dirty? That's a tough question, as even when the filter is so dirty you don't want to get near it, it's still flowing sufficient air. Cleaning time is a guesstimation.
No air filter element likes water. While the oiled gauze ones seem to tolerate and repel water better than paper ones, you should really find some other way to keep water away. This can be as simple as a nylon stocking over the opening or as complicated as a snorkel. For open-element air filters that sit directly on top of the carburetor or throttle body, there are special tight-weave nylon outer filters that help prevent water entry. It could be necessary to make some type of a shield around the front half of the filter to prevent entry from splashed water during a stream crossing. Attach the shield to the air cleaner's lid, or even to the hood itself. On my own Jeep the shield is fastened to a crossmember that goes across the engine from the shock towers.
A good air seal between the filter and its container and the carb/throttle body is important. I like to use a long-fiber grease on both the gasket and the filter's rubber seal from lid to base to ensure no dirty air can find its way into the engine.
Next time you're doing maintenance to your rig take a few minutes to look at the filter. Time spent on it is equal to money saved on engine repair.

Finding a home for a mother dog and 4 pups (here's hoping it's a small litter) with responsible owners is going to be a HUGE chore, do you have the time and money to do full evaluations on any potential adopters? If you can't afford vet care for her now, how will you afford care for her and the puppies after?
It's very hard to responsibly place pure breeds, mix breeds will be more difficult.
Her chances in a shelter are pretty grim as well.
And I feel the same way about all pregnant dogs in rescue. Do a spay/abort or put the mother down with the puppies still unborn. There are too many dogs out there already, another litter isn't going to help matters.
I won't even bother to ask why you didn't have her spayed a month ago when you got her and abort the litter then
my pal down there didn't really want to take her but I said I can't handle pups and mom

Apricot Jalapeno Sauce
http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com
This apricot sauce recipe, mildly sweet with enough heat, is made with fresh apricots and pickled jalapenos. It is very simple to make and the sauce gets its complexity and unique depth of flavour from the use of cloves, allspice, juniper berries and mace. Great with grilled and barbecued meats, on sandwiches and in vinaigrette.
350 g Apricots, pitted and coarsely chopped
100 g Pickled Jalapeno
100 ml Apple cider vinegar
200 ml Apple juice
50 g Coconut sugar
5 pc Cloves
1 tsp Allspice berries
1 tsp Juniper berries
15 g Sea salt
1 tbsp Mace powder
Wash, pit and coarsely chop the apricots. Place chopped apricots, pickled jalapeno, apple cider vinegar, apple juice and coconut sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat for about 25 minutes. Use a mortar and pestle to crush the cloves, allspice, juniper berries and salt. Mix in mace powder. Add the spice mixture to the apricots and cook for 5 minutes.
Use a stick blender to puree the mixture. Bring the sauce again to a boil. Transfer the sauce to bottles or small jars. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Light your fire the eco-friendly way
A roaring fireplace is one of winter's most enduring images
What warms the hearth may not always be good for the environment – here's a look at eco-friendly fireplace options.
It may look pretty, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the average emissions of fine particles into the air from one of the 22 million fireplaces in the United States are far greater (as much as 20 times greater) than those from a wood-burning stove, pellet stove, or oil or gas furnace. That kind of mucks up the romantic view, doesn't it?
Not only do those fine particles go up the chimney and into the air outside, but depending on your fireplace and your flue, they are also circulated in the air inside your home. And all that polluting isn't even for a good cause. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the conventional open front-style fireplace is just 10-percent efficient at turning wood into warmth-providing energy. But you don't have to eschew the beauty of a crackling fire in order to go green.
Like practically everything else, there are eco-friendly options in the fireplace market these days that look good, do the job, yet manage to minimize their impact on the environment. And, as some communities are now restricting or banning wood burning, these options look that much more attractive.
One of the most striking alternatives to a wood-burning fire is using colored tempered glass pieces. Colored squares or ovals of tempered glass chosen to fit your décor (along with a burner) directly replace gas or wood logs.
When the fire is ignited, the tempered glass can withstand heat, retain its color over time, yet does not emit any carbon toxins. Fires in a fireplace with glass do not get quite as hot as an open wood fire.
It would be hard to roast marshmallows over a fire with tempered glass, but it can be used indoors or in outdoor fire pits, and is still effective in warding off the winter chill.
Denatured ethanol
Just as clean-burning ethanol has become an option for fueling automobiles, at least in part, so, too, is it a possible substitute for gas or wood logs. An Australia-based firm called The Fire Co., makes EcoSmart Fire, one of the denatured ethanol fireplaces sold in the United States.
Interior designers like it because it does not require a flue, meaning it can be placed anywhere in the room, and can be built in different sizes and shapes, even in pieces of furniture such as coffee tables. Some critics, however, think the chemicals added to the ethanol during production reduce the eco-friendly aspect somewhat.
Faux logs
These are not your grandmother's silly-looking ceramic, fake logs. Today, alternatives to wood-burning are made of renewable resources that release up to 80-percent fewer emissions than regular wood when burned. Options include logs made from non-petroleum natural wax, recycled sawdust and even spent coffee beans.
Not only does this mean less carbon monoxide and residue in the air, but less creosote build-up on the walls of your chimney, making the fireplace easier to clean. The Java-Log, which sells for approximately $2-$4 at hardware stores, grocery stores and other neighborhood retailers, has a distinct, woodsy smell, but does not make your living room smell like a Starbucks. Other options include logs made of soy and switchgrass.
The virtual solution
If even these options include too many open flames for you, opt for the Ambient Fire or other DVDs for approximately $15 that allow you to display a cozy fireplace roaring on your TV screen.
Of course, while they do not emit toxins, they also do not give off heat and aren't that good for late-winter snuggling. But, you never have to bother to stoke the fire.
If you already have a non-green fireplace in your house, don't despair. You can convert existing fireplaces to one of the options above. Depending on which you choose, you may be able to do it yourself, or you can have a qualified installer do the switch. In some areas, your local natural gas or electric utility can help you upgrade equipment for a small fee.

Schwarzenegger to Obama cabinet: Water... please!
California's rivers used to brim with salmon and sturgeon, but a massive system of canals diverted water that fed farms and cities, now suffering through a third year of drought.
Schwarzenegger has gained credibility as an environmentalist for his push to curb greenhouse gases but he argued that federal plans to save fish will worsen a water crisis that has cost farmers more than $700 million and caused mandatory rationing in cities of the most populous state.

Former Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich, who served in the Clinton administration, warned during an interview of the perils of widening income inequality in the United States, excessive executive compensation and the future of labor.
Reich is promoting his new documentary, "Inequality for All," which looks at the income gap and possible solutions. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and won a special jury prize in the documentary competition for director Jacob Kornbluth.
The following is an edited transcript:
Income inequality has been an issue for a number of years. Is there a danger that the middle class will shrink and fewer people will be able to climb the economic ladder?
It's already happened. When you have so much income and wealth concentrated at the very top — and the top couldn't possibly spend all that they're gathering even if they wanted to — they're the ones where almost all the saving is coming from. Under normal circumstances it would be good, but their savings are going around the world wherever they can get the highest return.
And 70% of the American economy is based on consumer spending; consumers just don't have the ability to continue to buy what the economy is capable of producing. So what do you get? You get an economy that is struggling to get out of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Will this growing income inequality eventually lead to social unrest?
It's already close to that. The tea party movement and the Occupy movement both grew out of the bailout of Wall Street and the sense that many Americans had then and still have now that the game is rigged, that the wealthy have managed to get the goodies, the tax breaks and the subsidies. Now the tea partiers, their ire is directed at government, and the Occupiers directed their ire at Wall Street, but the underlying lack of confidence, distrust, anger is there right now.
The anger is coming directly out of the frustrations of so many people that they're working harder than ever, and they're still living essentially paycheck to paycheck.
The AFL-CIO is forming alliances with non-union groups to reverse labor's waning power. The labor federation says its aim is to boost the middle class and improve wages. What's the future of organized labor?
The idea of making new political alliances is very smart and very important. In terms of organizing workers, low-wage workers at big-box retailers like Wal-Mart, retail fast-food chains like McDonald's, all of these workers need to be unionized. They're working at very low wages. They're not teenagers anymore. These people are mostly adults. One-third of them are heads of households. They cannot function at a minimum wage or near a minimum wage and the rest of us end up subsidizing their employers through food stamps, in effect, and other safety nets.
We need to raise the minimum wage. If we had a minimum wage that was the minimum wage we had in 1968 adjusted for inflation, it'd be $10.40 today.
How will record-low labor force participation rates affect future economic growth?
One reason the labor market participation rates are going down is baby boomers are retiring. A more serious concern is that you've got an increasing number of people who are too discouraged to look for work, not because they get generous safety nets and benefits. They want to work, would make more money in jobs. The conservative view that they are all sitting on their hands and collecting welfare is wrong. For one thing, we don't have welfare anymore. For another, there are now still three people looking for work for every job that exists. If they get discouraged looking for work it's not because they have welfare, it's because there's not a job for them.
Does company loyalty still exist?
Loyalty is dead. Nobody is looking to long term. It means every employee is looking over his or her shoulder at "What am I going to do if I get sacked? What is my next job?" Everybody is assuming they're a free agent and they can't count on their employer.
And it means that the employer can't count on the employees to go that extra mile. The employer can't count on the employee to work harder than that employee feels is justified by the salary and compensation and overall possibilities in that company. This is the story of the private sector in America today. Part of this is the relentless demands of Wall Street for short-term quarterly performance that has driven almost every company in this direction.
What will the U.S. economy look like in five years?
If nothing changes, the median household is going to get poorer and poorer. The wealth of the country is going to get more concentrated, which is not only bad for the economy but it's also bad for society. I'm optimistic only because this has happened before in American history. If we were having this conversation in 1900, we would say much the same thing. Then two years later, we'd be in the middle of the Progressive movement. How did we get from 1900 to the Progressive era? Frankly nobody knows how social upheaval of a positive kind that we have in the United States occurs, but it's very simple: We get to a gap where our ideal — equal opportunity, a society based on merit — is so far away from the reality that people just can't stand it anymore.

Also blogging the SBL was:
Phil Harland on Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean blog, though his comments are only brief, and he promises something in due course on Stephen Carlson's The Gospel Hoax. Let me add here that one of the things that is so good about the number of bloggers now reporting on the SBL is hearing about meetings one could not get to. The SBL Annual Meeting is so massive that you regularly miss things you have to be at; and sometimes duty has to take priority over joy.

Mark, for what it's worth, I blogged the SBL also at Higgaion, though of course I focused on the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament/ancient Syria-Palestine topics which may or may not be of interest to NT Gateway readers.

BurJuman launches major revamp
Dubai, January 3, 2013
BurJuman, a leading mixed-use development including a shopping mall, hotel suites and residences in Dubai, has launched the first phase of a major renovation project, which will include a hypermarket and a multiplex.
The new additions will include a Carrefour hypermarket and a 14-screen Vox Cinemas multiplex following major renovation in one part of the mall, with work on the project commencing at the start of the month.
"The latest redevelopment and expansion phase is expected to further enhance our appeal by offering shoppers greater convenience and access to a full-fledged grocery offering, extended family entertainment options, new F&B outlets and the addition of several new fashion and other brands to our retail portfolio, some of which will be making their first appearance in the region," said Eisa Adam Ibrahim, GM of BurJuman.
"Visitors not only look at malls as places to shop but as one-stop destinations providing enjoyment and recreation to the entire community. With our expansion we want to strengthen our relationship with our customers and give them easy access to everything they need in one place."
"The much awaited redevelopment took some time to finalise as the mall was researching and exploring different options to make the product offering wider and stronger for our customers. We are very confident that what we have in store will be exactly what our tenants and shoppers in the area have been looking for," Ibrahim continued.
He added that the mall has strong and positive relationships with its retailers and has been in ongoing discussions with tenants about the changes it will undergo. The project has received great support from BurJuman's tenants, Ibrahim said, and the mall management truly appreciates their input and cooperation in this new phase of BurJuman's growth.
"We will certainly be delivering a better product to our partners and we believe that the enhanced offering will provide a stronger business platform to all our retailers," Ibrahim added.
The redevelopment and expansion work began on January 1, with a full-scale temporary closure of a part of the mall coming into effect on December 31, 2012, and continuing for a period of 18 months.
Cadiz International Architects are the lead architects and Hyder Consulting are the engineers managing the design and supervision of the project which will culminate in the mall's total retail area increasing to 1 million sq ft from the current 800,000 sq ft.
In addition to bringing in the hypermarket and adding the cinema complex on the fourth floor, other highlights of the planned renovation include the doubling in size of the current food court and the creation of a link which will connect the new food court to the Pavilion Gardens in the mall's south wing.
One of the mall's main exterior entrances will also be completely redesigned and an al fresco dining area will be added at the ground level. Once reopened, the renovated section of the mall will offer a fantastic collection of both large format and boutique-style stores from new as well as existing tenants with a refreshed offering. – TradeArabia News Service

Will You Still Be Fruitful in Your Success?
I'm not talking about material success, rather your attitude. When God opens the door to your 'big break,' will you still maintain or strive for the fruit of the Spirit to be manifested in your life?
'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.' Galatians 5:22
When we first start something – it could be a business, book, or a church – we tend to make promises such as 'Lord, if you bless me I will never forget you,' or 'I promise I will remain kind humble and loving.'
Then the big break comes and guest what? All those promises seem long forgotten. We tend to become more money oriented , thinking we can treat people any way we want.
In the industry I am in, this unfruitful attitude is extremely common. It has become so economically oriented that showing the fruit of the Spirit is non-existent. Though God's name is mentioned in books or mission statements, people's actions are speaking louder than words.
I have witnessed authors slandering authors, authors against agents and vice versa. Some publishers focus more on the selling aspects of a book than the author's potential.
If you want to be in this industry then you would need to pray for your forgiveness levels to increase. There have been many times I had to forgive. I refuse to stoop down to the fleshy level but rather be led by the Spirit. 'For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.' Romans 8:6
Unfortunately a lot of people who have reached their successes in life seem to have forgotten where they have come from and who gave them their success in the first place.
I am determined not to be fleshy in my success, and I beseech you brethren that you don't be flesh-led in yours. Pray that the fruit of God's Spirit manifest even more in your life. That you will show people that, yes, you have reached the top but showing love, kindness, meekness etc. is more important.
It is so easy to get caught up with worldly things and push God aside. James 4:14 'Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour , that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away'
None of us is promised tomorrow and it is not your position people will remember you by, it is your attitude. Were you still a kind, loving, joyful person in your abundance, or were you slanderous, bitter, rude, and ungrateful?
How would you like to be remembered?

Master Class with Charlotte Jorgensen 9/8/15
We are very happy to announce that our friend and coach Charlotte Jorgensen will join us at our wonderful Twin Maples location once again!
On Tuesday, September 8th she will be at BDNJ to help our dance competitors Joan Wright, Nina Ouzdenova and Leslie Reith prepare for the United States Championship in Orlando, Florida.
Charlotte Jorgensen was on the very first season of Dancing With The Stars, and she was partnered with John O'Hurley. They went to the finals and ultimately lost out to Kelly Monaco and Alec Mazo. There was quite a bit of talk that Charlotte and John actually deserved to win so after the competition was over ABC aired a "dance-off" between the two teams and in the end, Charlotte and John were victorious. This did not change the fact that Kelly was credited as the first season winner. Charlotte and John later put out an instructional dance DVD together that was well received.
Charlotte was born in Denmark and began to dance at the age of two. When she was 10 she took up ballet and had hopes of a stage career in dance. After moving to the U.S. she took up ballroom and Latin dance, becoming Amateur Teen Dance Champion within 3 years. At 22 she became World Amateur Champion, and then turned professional. In her first pro year, she won the Professional Rising Star in Blackpool, England. She then partnered with Andrew Sinkinson and together they were both very successful placing second at many National and World competitions.
Charlotte has connections to film as well. In 2003, she was hired by Miramax to coach actor Richard Gere for his role in Shall We Dance?. She also was asked to be an adjudicator for the final competition in the documentary Mad Hot Ballroom, where inner city children in New York compete in ballroom dancing.
Happy Dancing – Happy People!

8056 Country Squire Lane Cordova, TN 38018
Sale Amount: $49.2 million
Sale Date: March 28, 2013
Buyer: CLK LV NRFC Country Squire Owner LLC
Seller: Country Squire – Brookside LLC
Loan Amount: $39.6 million
Loan Date: March 28, 2013
Maturity Date: N/A
Lender: JPMorgan Chase Bank NA
8056 Country Squire Lane • Cordova, TN 38018
Details: An affiliate of New York-based NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. has paid $49.2 million for the 972-unit Country Squire Apartments in Cordova.
The single-purpose entity CLK LV NRFC Country Squire Owner LLC bought the sprawling multifamily complex at the corner of Germantown Parkway and Walnut Grove Road in a March 28 special warranty deed from Country Squire – Brookside LLC.
Richard L. "Rick" Fogelman of Memphis-based Fogelman Realty Group LLC signed the warranty deed as manager of Country Squire – Brookside LLC.
"My father, Avron Fogelman, developed Country Squire in the early and mid 1980s," Fogelman said in a prepared statement. "With Country Squire, he introduced a brand new apartment living environment to Memphis, featuring a large and heavily wooded site, multiple lakes and fountains, swimming pools, tennis courts and other amenities.
"Our family has owned Country Squire for these past 30 years and the property has continually been a strong performer. As part of our ongoing strategy to de-age our multifamily portfolio, the timing was right to sell this asset as we focus on investing in newer vintage properties."
The address listed in the warranty deed is 8056 Country Squire Lane, but the sale comprised Country Squire's four parcels – 8025 Country Squire Lane; 340 N. Germantown Parkway; 8140 Walnut Grove Road; and 6080 Raleigh LaGrange Road.
Built in 1986, the 8025 Country Squire property includes 78 units in 79,197 square feet on 5.6 acres. Its 2013 appraised value is $3.4 million, according to the Shelby County Assessor of Property.
Built in 1984, the 340 N. Germantown Parkway property includes 480 units in 449,574 square feet on 39.5 acres. Its 2013 appraised value is $20.4 million.
Built in 1985, the 8140 Walnut Grove Road property includes 168 units in 131,668 square feet on 12.6 acres. Its 2013 appraised value is $7.2 million.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Sunday, February 26, 2006
Who drew this?
And who drew this?
What about this? Who drew this?
And how about this? Its so great - but the identity of the artist who drew it will probably never be know. That's sad...
I love these old ads done in 50's cartoon styles. Sometimes the illustration was just a minor supporting element in an otherwise photographic ad, but still, those tiny anonymous cartoon illustrations had so much character and vitality that they deserve closer examination.
That's why I've created a Flickr set called Ads w/ Cartoon Elements. I'll be adding to it regularly so if this is your sort of thing too, you might like to go check it out (and maybe bookmark it).
BTW, I'm not alone in my love of this kind of stuff... there are other folks on Flickr who share my passion and are adding their own scans. Take a look at Mid-Century in Print, The Retro Kid, Vintage Advertising and most recently, a new group called Allan & Todd's for a pleasant trip down Memory Lane. A great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
6 comments:
I once tried to find the name of an illustrator in this mold. Starting with VIP and branching out. I had no luck. A friend of mine attributed the overall look to the zietgiest of the time. Warhol, Partch, Ben Shahn and the whole Atomic Age thing. A big steaming pot of anonymous on demand cartooning, with a definite feel of the times.ReplyDelete
I have thought recently that there are a lot of us illustrators working in anonymity, producing art that reflects our era and time and that may be viewed by future generations of illustrators looking for answers and even inspiration.
A great comment, Stan. I think you're right on the money. I know from talking to older guys I've met in the Toronto ad industry that there were a lot of in-house illustrators doing a variety of styles - whatever a job called for - without specializing in a particular cartoon style like we see today.ReplyDelete
Probably a lot of supporting art was done late in the game to fill a hole in the ad design or because the client wanted a particular feature of their product highlighted.
Many of these "utility illustrators" probably lifted that 50's look from their own swipe files of printed cartoon ads.
And as for your thought about the on-going tradition of anonymity in our business, I think you've hit on the core motivation for why I put together Today's Inspiration.
Here's to being remembered! ;-)
I love the Flickr set. Thank you and thanks to all the unknown heros of illustration.ReplyDelete
And thanks for plugging Today's Inspiration on your very cool blog , p-e! :-)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the suggestion Rob. I've already got a flickr set of Jan Balet's work and unfortunately that won't help to identify any of these artists. None of these illustrations were done by Balet.ReplyDelete
But I appreciate your comment! :-)

Soundgarden Holding On to 15 Unreleased Songs From Band's Early Days
Chris Cornell says that the first 15 songs Soundgarden ever wrote were preserved on cassette tape. Though the recordings have never been made public, their mere existence may be enough to get fans excited about the possibility of hearing them someday.
"We have I guess 15 songs that I look at as a warming up [period], which were never released," Cornell said in an interview with the New York Times (via Audio Ink Radio). "It was the first 15 we wrote. It was on a cassette that Kim [Thayil, guitarist] always referred to as, 'The First 15.' ... We were a band for a couple years before we really did much [recording] … It was us saving up money from our day jobs and we would spend time recording, and when we would go in to record, we tended to record the newest things we had written, because it was what we were most excited about."
How many bands can say they have such a complete document of their earliest material? You'd have to think that eventually the band might consider releasing at least some of the tracks for their hardcore fans.
Cornell also compared his band to another legendary group you might not expect. "Soundgarden was very Beatles-esque in terms of everybody's contributions," he said. "I actually started getting serious about playing guitar and bass after Soundgarden was formed so I could contribute music, and it was always well received. All incarnations everyone contributed musically and sometimes lyrically."
Earlier this year, Soundgarden released 'Live to Rise,' their first new song in a decade and a half. The band plans to release its next record perhaps as early as this fall. "We're pretty much done with everything," Cornell said in May.

It's been revealed that Microsoft could be potentially blocking the development of an official Grooveshark client for Windows Phone. According to a conversation between the community developer and a consumer, it's reported that the Grooveshark team had previously looked at getting an app submitted to the store, but were told by Microsoft that such an app would not be approved.
So is this the end-all for Grooveshark fans? Not at all. There was an unofficial Grooveshark app in the works for Windows Phone Store, but there's also an official solution on the Grooveshark website, utilising HTML5. While not a native app, it's definitely worth checking out if you're an avid fan of the service. That said, Microsoft does offer its own Xbox Music service, which offers unlimited streaming and offline playback for a small monthly fee.
Blame it on Microsoft?
Grooveshark has run into some issues with music companies in the past regarding royalties and perhaps that is playing a role here. Or it could be Grooveshark deflecting blame, erroneously, to Microsoft. If that's the case, perhaps Microsoft's great developer support can reach out and rekindle that conversation with the Grooveshark folks.
However, third party submissions of Grooveshark clients to the Windows Phone Store have been blocked in the past, so there may be some truth to this report. Additionally, the third-party app referenced above by SciLor hasn't had its private beta updated since the beginning of April, and even then it didn't work too well, leaving us little hope for that project.
Are you saddened by not being able to get connected with Grooveshark on Windows Phone, or are you looking at alternatives?

The corporate assessment era is over.
Thanks to the Department of Justice's Nov. 19 shakedown of JPMorgan Chase, credit unions won't pay a 2014 corporate assessment. The $1.4 billion payout to the NCUA will be used to pay down the remaining $3.9 billion outstanding Treasury line.
Should the housing market take a nosedive before the securitized legacy assets mature in 2021, credit unions may have to pay an assessment. But for now, the estimated range remaining to repay the corporate stabilization effort includes a surplus of $200 million at the cheap end. The high end of the new estimate is just $1.6 billion, down from $3.2 billion as of the last estimate in fourth quarter 2012.
With suits against Wall Street banks still remaining, and the possibility of more settlements to come, this is good news for credit unions.
I can almost see all the credit union CEOs and CFOs doing happy dances from here. Woot! Woot!
Our On-Site Coverage:
CUSO Rule Gets Nod
No 2014 Corporate Assessment
Budget Hiked 6.7%
As if the assessment news wasn't exciting enough, the meeting revealed a couple of juicy tidbits that should be of interest to credit unions.
First was the revelation that 2014's capital acquisitions include $1.6 million to build out a top-secret room at NCUA headquarters. The room was mandated by an executive order signed by President Obama, requiring such facilities at all federal agencies. The NCUA is behind the curve on this requirement, and is one of the last agencies to build the room.
The idea that the NCUA would need such a room is ridiculous. What kind of top secret information might the administration need to share or retrieve from a credit union regulator?
The NCUA was able to manage the seizure and liquidation of five corporate credit unions without such a hideout, failures so large they threatened to topple the entire industry. I'll knock on wood as I type this, but what could top that?
Given the bad press this administration has received regarding the NSA and other secrecy issues, this is a bad PR move. And the budget implications won't be popular, either.
The top-secret room was pressed as an issue by Board Member Michael Fryzel, who also grilled staff on another sketchy topic during the meeting: accounting for the costs of implementing the new CUSO rule.
Rather than be funded out of the operating or capital budget, the CUSO rule's $750,000 system development price tag will be charged to the NCUSIF.
The NCUA didn't try to hide this fact. In the rule's Board Action Memorandum, the NCUA clearly wrote that "per Section 203 of the Federal Credit Union Act, actual expenses will be charged to the NCUSIF."
However, the point was glossed over until Fryzel brought it up during the meeting.
While the CUSO rule, like most regulations, is meant to protect the share insurance fund, seems to me the cost should come out of the operating budget, just like costs to implement and enforce other rules.
The agency appeared to attempt to play a shell game by not including the costs in the budget. Given that the NCUA has been criticized for scrapping the budget hearing process, this was not a smart move.
I'm told the agency plans to pay for the proposed stress testing rule in the same way. If you'll recall, if approved, that rule could cost up to $1 million dollars per credit union to implement. There are currently four credit unions with more than $10 billion in assets…soon to be five, once SchoolsFirst FCU crosses that threshold…which would be subjected to stress testing.
While $5 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the NCUA's total $268 million budget, it would be noticed as an annual increase. Had Fryzel not pushed the issue at the board meeting, that $5 million might have slipped through the NCUSIF income statement relatively unnoticed.
Possibly, the move is meant to appease trade associations that are pressuring the agency to keep the operating budget as low as possible. But if assessed through an NCUSIF premium, credit unions would have to pay the tab anyway. I can't imagine this news will help build trust and communicate agency transparency to the nation's federally insured credit unions.
Credit Union Times will further investigate both of these revelations in the coming weeks.
But until then, let's give thanks that the corporate assessment era is finally over.

What's the use in shooting your assailant if he can still keep coming at you? If you're gonna stop him, stop him for good. The above 9mm R.I.P. bullet, from G2Research in Georgia, claims to be "The Last Round You'll Ever Need", and looking at its construction, we're tempted to believe them. It's a CNC machined projectile made from copper, which has 8 separating "Trocar-shaped bits that are designed specifically to damage your internal organs. They'll split apart as the bullet rips through your tissue, and create a 6″ diameter spread of destruction inside of you. The remainder of the bullet continues in a straight path, penetrating up to 16″.
There's all kinds of fancy talk of features on the website, but really that's all you need to know. It's a bullet with 8 metal bits that separate into a cone of death upon impact. We don't know how much they cost, but production is underway. Hit the jump for links and video.

Back to School with Diabetes
Back to School with Diabetes
When fall arrives, it's back-to-school time—and for some kids, it's back to dealing with diabetes in the classroom. These tips can help your student stay safe and healthy at school:
Make a diabetes medical management plan. This is a written document prepared by you and your child's healthcare team. It spells out his or her treatment plan. It should include emergency contacts and instructions for monitoring blood glucose and measuring insulin doses. Also information on taking pills, eating meals, participating in exercise, and checking for ketones should be part of the treatment plan. It should also explain exactly what to do in case of low or high blood glucose. Make sure the school has a copy of this plan, testing supplies for blood sugar and urinary ketones, and a glucagon emergency kit. The school may also need to develop its own internal plan that is based on your healthcare team's recommendations. All medicine and supplies should be clearly labeled with your child's name as well as instructions.
Meet with school personnel. Review your child's individual needs and make sure that he or she is able to follow the medical management plan at school. Ask that the school nurse attend the meeting. If school personnel are not familiar with diabetes, ask that the nurse do an inservice for all employees. This includes administrators, teachers, and support staff. Discuss the possibility of an individualized education plan, or IEP, for your child. Make sure you understand your school's policies and emergency procedures related to diabetes.
Have your child wear a medical alert ID at all times. Also make sure your child always carries a fast-acting source of glucose and knows how to use it. If your child is too young, make sure school personnel are educated to recognize the signs of hypoglycemia. They also must be able to give appropriate intervention when needed. Make sure the school has emergency contact information for you and at least two other backup contacts if you are not available.
Be a positive advocate for your child. Local parent support groups through organizations, such as the American Diabetes Association, can refer you to resources that protect your child's rights in the school system. Depending on the severity of the diabetes, the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act may be able to give additional support for your child's medical and educational needs.

New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said shortstop Ruben Tejada is not operating under "a microscope,'' but it sure seems that way.
Alderson said there's enough time remaining in spring training for Tejada to make his mark, but at the same time hasn't ruled out signing Stephen Drew and rumors continue to percolate on a trade with Seattle for Nick Franklin.
Alderson did not discount Wilmer Flores, either. All this adds up to: Shortstop remains unsettled.
In addition:
* John Lannan retired the final eight hitters he faced in a 6-4 loss to St. Louis. The Mets are considering him for a bullpen job.
* First basemen Ike Davis (both calves) and Lucas Duda (left hamstring) remain sidelined. It is possible Duda could play as a DH tomorrow. Davis took grounders today, but still has to prove he can run before he plays.
* Reliever Kyle Farnsworth was hit hard again and his chances of making the Opening Day roster are dwindling. Farnsworth has a March 23 out in his contract.
* Daniel Murphy started for the first time since last Friday and went 0-for-3.
* Closer Bobby Parnell is being clocked at 89 mph., but said he's not concerned.
* Manager Terry Collins said reliever Carlos Torres would make the Opening Day roster.

Do you have a rack that will fit on the roof of a 2009 Honda Fit? We need to put a 2-person kayak on it. Thanks!

does the kit comes with a clip holder assembly? also is the clip suppose to be flush against the car or just as long as it holds? i tried for hours tryin to make it flush be there its always a lil off
The rack comes with all pieces except the Q-towers and the Q-clips (well and bars/locks/etc). The car-specific Q-clips will fit right in to the stretch kit pieces.. nothing additional is needed.
I had this on a Mazda3, and I believe the clips were flush with the car. They shouldn't be uneven or pulling, or it could damage your roof (and perhaps make the rack less stable). I once took detailed pictures of a rack I was concerned with the fit on, and emailed the pics to Yakima. A fit expert responded, and worked me through the problem. Great customer service. You could also go to your local rack store (REI/EMS/Rack N Road), and they could help you with fit.

I have an Acura Integra 3dr, do I really need a stretch kit or can I survive without one?
I will be loading bikes and snowboards on the roof rack.
If you use an open roof rack for the snowboards, you should be able to get away with it, not sure about the bike racks though. Measure out the bar spacing and then measure out the bottom of the box/rack, and if they don't line up you will need the stretcher.
does this include the 2 crossbars as well?...
does this include the 2 crossbars as well? or is this just the Q towers with the stretch bar?
This is only the stretch bar, the crossbars and Q towers are all sold seperately. That is why I am asking if I really need this stretch kit for my car or if I can do without one (Acura Integra 3dr). Just trying to keep costs low for me since the other required components already cost a lot for me.

Launched in 2012, the Westville Education Initiative is a partnership between BPI, the University of Notre Dame, and Holy Cross College at Notre Dame. It operates within Westville Correctional Facility – halfway between South Bend and Chicago, IL. Admission is also run at a second maximum-security prison, from which admittees transfer to Westville. Students study full-time in a curriculum that includes theology, literature, history, business, biology, and mathematics.
Both associate and bachelor's degrees are offered through Holy Cross College, while most faculty and extensive in-kind support come from Notre Dame. Funding is public and private, recidivism is low, and graduates go on to employment and further higher education across Indiana.
