Meet 12 Stevens Game Changers
These Alumni from Across the Decades – from a Variety of Industries and Professions – Have Made a Significant Impact on the World
They are innovators and artists, trailblazers and dreamers — Stevens alumni who made or are making a significant mark on the world through their extraordinary careers. While this could describe numerous graduates, here is a list of 12 game changers (in order of graduation year) who truly embody the Stevens spirit of innovation, of creativity — and of always reaching higher.
Frederick Winslow Taylor Class of 1883
Taylor created an entirely new field: scientific management. Applying engineering principles and time study to production and shop management, scientific management is still being refined and used today. Taylor's seminal 1911 work, The Principals of Scientific Management, laid out his theory, as he went on to earn more than 40 patents and work in industry, including as general manager of the once-mighty Bethlehem Steel.
Charles Stewart Mott Class of 1897 Hon. D.Eng. '37

He sold his wire and axle manufacturing business to General Motors and could have walked away, but he didn't. Mott went on to serve on GM's board for 60 years, from 1913 to 1973, and was deeply involved in the company's evolution. But perhaps his greatest impact came when he founded the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in 1926. Today, his foundation has given grants in excess of $3 billion in 62 countries (including his adopted hometown of Flint, Michigan), in the areas of education, the environment and civic society. And Mott, according to biographer Edward Renehan, has likely inspired generations of philanthropists, from Alfred P. Sloan to Bill Gates.
Alexander Calder Class of 1919 Hon. D.Eng. '69

He created some of the most iconic sculpture of the modern age — and changed the world of art. Fusing his love of sculpture with his engineering skills, "Sandy" Calder was most famous for the mobile, a form of suspended kinetic sculpture. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney and the Guggenheim, among other renowned museums, and his monumental sculptures grace public spaces across the United States, Paris, Tel Aviv, Mexico City and many other locations around the globe.
Frederick Reines '39 M.S. '41 Hon. D.Eng. '84
Reines actually helped to prove the Big Bang theory — by discovering a key particle that had eluded scientists for decades. With fellow researcher Clyde Cowan, Reines discovered the neutrino, a particle with no charge and very little mass. Their discovery would fuel a chain of theories and discoveries in particle physics and astrophysics that continue today. And it would win Reines, along with Cowan, the 1995 Nobel Prize for Physics.
Beatrice A. Hicks M.S. '49 Hon. D.Eng. '79
This engineering executive and inventor of the gas density switch was way ahead of her time in so many ways: studying engineering in the 1930s, when few women did; becoming the first woman hired as an engineer with Western Electric; serving as vice president of the engineering firm Newark Controls; and later running her own consulting firm. One of her greatest legacies: as co-founder and the first national president of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). Today, SWE — which has an active student chapter at Stevens — claims 42,000 members worldwide and is a global advocate for women in engineering and technology.
David Farber '56 M.S. '61 Hon. D.Eng. '99
This "grandfather of the internet" enjoyed a stellar career in industry (Bell Labs, the Rand Corporation) and academia, with professorships at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of California at Irvine and Carnegie Mellon. He pioneered the early internet and cloud computing, and it was at the University of Delaware where he and a multi-university team created CSNet and NSFNet, two networks that connected computer science and other university science departments nationwide. This effort formed the methodology and original physical backbone of the commercial internet.
Aaron Cohen M.S. '58 Hon. D.Eng. '82

This son of Russian immigrants played a critical role in NASA's six successful lunar landings, as head of the Apollo lunar command and service modules (CSMs) program. These two vehicles — true engineering marvels — were essential to landing astronauts on the moon and returning them safely home to Earth. Cohen later served as director of the Johnson Space Center in Houston from 1986 to 1993 and managed the space shuttle orbiter program.
Richard Reeves '60 Hon. D.Eng. '87
From Stute columnist to New York Times chief political correspondent to presidential biographer, Reeves built an award-winning career in journalism, as a witness to history. His accomplishments are staggering: author of 20 books, successful careers in print and broadcast journalism (where he won an Emmy and a Peabody), nationally syndicated columnist in more than 100 newspapers. He authored much-admired biographies of presidents Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton. And Reeves was a beloved teacher at the University of Southern California, guiding young journalists in their search for the truth.
Elizabeth Bailey M.S. '66 Hon. D.Eng. '00
Bailey, professor emeritus at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, is a true trailblazer: the first female doctoral candidate in economics at Princeton University and the first female commissioner of the Civil Aeronautics Board. This former Bell Labs computer scientist also served as dean of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration at Carnegie Mellon University and was a longtime trustee at the Brookings Institution.
Mark Crispin '77
In 1986, while working with Stanford University, Crispin authored the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), which made email accessible and efficient for users worldwide. IMAP allowed users to access email from multiple computers or mobile devices; improved handling of email attachments; and created the ability to organize and search email messages without downloading them. Crispin later worked as a software engineer for the University of Washington for 20 years before joining Messaging Architects, an email management and security firm.
Pam Cheng '92 M.Eng. '95
Cheng has been tackling the challenge of a lifetime — and an essential leadership role — in the life-saving goal of increasing the world's supply of COVID-19 vaccines. As executive vice president for global operations and information technology at AstraZeneca, her job has been to create supply chains for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine (a partnership with Oxford University), from development to manufacturing to supply chain design. As the vaccine — with its low cost and easy storage — is seen as critical to the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic, Cheng continues her efforts and her leadership of about 19,000 of AstraZeneca's 70,000 global employees.
Marques Brownlee '15
He has interviewed Barack Obama twice — including a fascinating conversation just this past December — and has sat down with Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to talk tech and life. Mostly, MKBHD — his moniker for his impossibly popular YouTube channel — is a major tech influencer trusted by millions. In early 2021, he claimed more than 13 million subscribers — with 2 billion-plus views — who tune in to hear his "crispy tech videos" reviewing everything from smartphones to cars to computers, "anything with an 'on' button."

Slovenia clears EU path for Croatia
Banking dispute is no longer a threat to Croatia's accession to the EU.
By Andrew Gardner
March 7, 2013	12:58 pm
Slovenia and Croatia have agreed on a means of resolving a banking dispute that had threatened to derail Croatia's accession to the European Union in July.
At stake were deposits lost by Croatians when the break-up of the Yugoslavia precipitated the collapse of the Slovenia-based Ljubljanska Banka.
Under the agreement, which will be signed on Monday (11 March), a final solution will be brokered by Bank for International Settlement (BIS), which had in 2010 refused to take on an arbitration role unless the two countries did more to narrow their differences.
The agreement requires Croatia to suspend legal proceedings and to allow Ljubljanska Banka's successor – Nova Ljubljanska Banka – to operate in Croatia.
Croatia is demanding €270 million for its nationals. Slovenia argues that Croatia's demand deviates from principle set out for resolving legacy issues from the Yugoslav era, and that legal actions in the Croatian courts limited the scope for negotiation.
Štefan Füle, the European commissioner for enlargement, called the agreement "a good deal for both countries and a good deal for enlargement".
Croatia signed an accession agreement with the EU in December 2011, but Slovenia had threatened to veto its membership of the EU on account of the banking dispute. Of the 26 other members of the EU, 22 have ratified the treaty and four – Germany, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands – are in the process of doing so.
Janez Janša, who will leave his position as Slovenia's prime minister in mid-March, said that the Slovenian parliament would be asked to ratify Croatia's accession treaty within 30 days of the banking-dispute agreement being signed on 11 March. The task of shepherding of ensuring ratification could, therefore, very well fall to of a new government that is being formed by Alenka Bratušek.

In the month of July, the human beings would be the witness to one of the rarest astronomical events which is known as the 'blood moon'. It will be the second blood moon of the year which would be seen on the night of 27th and 28th July. It is going to be the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century. This is going to be another special and one of the rarest event that will be occuring in the same year, after super blue blood moon which occurred on 31st January. This super blue blood moon was an event which was a combination of supermoon, blue moon and the blood moon. We have few reasons why this Lunar Eclipse is going to be a special and the rarest one.
Believing the sources, this lunar eclipse would last for a total of 103 minutes, i.e. 1 hour and 43 minutes, making it 40 minutes longer than the January eclipse. Apparently, the January eclipse was supposed to be the longest one of this century, but this eclipse would surpass the former.
The blood moon or the 'full buck moon' as is being called will become red whilst the eclipse beause of the way in which the light would bend around the atmosphere of the Earth. DUring this event, the moon would turn orange and not disappear completely when it crosses throught the shadow which would cast by Earth. This eccentric effect is called as 'Rayleigh scattering' which filters the bands of greena nd violet light present in the atmosphere during an eclipse.
The full moon will pass through the shadow of the Earth, making it last for a much longer time than usual. During the same time, it will also be at the utmost distance from the Earth. Therefore, this is the reason why it would take longer to cross the shadow of the Earth.
The eclipse can be seen in the eastern hemisphere of the world only, i.e. Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. People living in NOrth America and Arctic Pacific area will not be able to see the event. People in Asia, Australia and Indonesia will be able to see it during the morning hours, where as people in Europe and Africa will be able to see it during the evening time between sunset and midnight on 27th July.


Cats are obligate carnivores, which means they need meat in their diet to thrive. Their systems aren't designed to digest carbohydrates. A raw diet is one of the best ways to fulfill cats' nutritional requirements. There are numerous benefits from feeding a raw diet to your cat, including improved digestion, reduced stool odor and volume, increased energy, ability to maintain ideal weight, better dental health, and better urinary tract health. Embraced for decades by holistically oriented pet parents and holistic veterinarians, raw feeding is becoming more mainstream as pet parents look for alternatives to feeding highly processed commercial pet foods.
Raw feeding does not have to be complicated. You do not need to grind your own meat and bones, measure out supplements, and figure out how to make a balanced diet for your little carnivore. There are plenty of commercial raw diets on the market, ranging from frozen to freeze-dried. Unfortunately, as the market is becoming more crowded, some manufacturers are cutting corners and adding more vegetables to their formulas to cut costs. You can find the brands I recommend here.
A cooked diet made from fresh ingredients may be slightly more processed than a raw diet, but it's still a better choice, in terms of freshness, than canned food, which is processed at high temperatures. If you don't mind cooking, a properly balanced home cooked diet may be an option for you. In addition to being less processed than canned food, you control the ingredients that go into your cat's food. For those of us who don't even cook for yourselves (like me), commercial cooked diets offer an alternative.
Big Bear Pet Food is based in Colorado. Company founder Amy Budd has a degree in Animal Science and "accidentally" got into the pet food business, not due to one sick pet, but due to a lifetime of dedication to all animals and wanting to provide something better for them. She started the company 15 years ago. Big Bear Pet Food sells its offering under a couple of different brand names. Their raw food for cats (and dogs) in sold under the brand name Hoo-RAW!. Their newest product, KatManFood, is a fresh, cooked, frozen food for cats.
Big Bear's meat is locally sourced and is free range, with no added hormones or antibiotics, non-GMO and human-edible. Their cat food is manufactured in a USDA facility under inspection hours and is processed to human standards.
The frozen raw line comes in two varieties, chicken/turkey and beef, and has been tested for adequate levels of taurine in accordance with AAFCO guidelines for cats.
The KatManFood line is gently cooked, then cooled, packaged and frozen immediately to retain freshness. KatManFood can be fed as a standalone food or used to help transition your cat to a raw food diet. KatManFood is labeled for "intermittent and supplemental feeding" since they did not test the food for everything the USDA requires for a complete and balanced diet. They did, however, test for taurine and the fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E, and K) and the food has adequate levels in all areas. KatManFood comes in two flavors, chicken and chicken/salmon.
All of Big Bear's food is manufactured in a USDA/FDA human facility for maximum product safety.
We had a chance to test both the raw and cooked foods. Allegra and Ruby both loved the Hoo-RAW! turkey/chicken blend and licked their plates clean. They were less enthusiastic about the KatManFood chicken or chicken/salmon formulas. They nibbled at both, but needed quite a bit of encouragement to finish. It may have been due to the texture – it was somewhere in between raw and paté style, so it was different from anything they'd had before.
I wish Allegra and Ruby had been more receptive to the cooked formulas. I feed both raw and canned food, and I'd love to be able to switch some of the canned for a gently cooked diet. I also like the idea of a gently cooked food for cat parents who aren't comfortable feeding raw, and I hope Big Bear eventually pursues testing so the formulas can be fed as a complete diet. Big Bear's raw formulas contain parsley and pumpkin, and while I prefer raw foods that don't contain any vegetable matter, the addition of these two ingredients keeps vegetable matter well below the threshold I consider acceptable.

We recently adopted a rescue cat…who weighed only 3.3 pounds when found and taken to rescue. Then had to spend a month in isolation because of various issues. She weighed 5 pound when we got her. Needless to say, as with many rescue cats, she gobbled her food and then vomited. We fed her every half hour but still would vomit sometimes. I got some Katman from Big Bear pet food. Ta da…she didn't vomit. We're able to feed her larger portions and less often with Katman. (She actually licks her bowl clean.). Oh, and did I forget to tell you she has no teeth? But Katman can be "gummed" by her with no adverse effects. She now weighs 6.6 pounds.
Thank you for sharing your experience with this food, Chris.
I haven't looked at Wellness in a while, Dorothy. They used carrageenan in most of their foods until recently, which is why it's not on my list. If you'd like me to evaluate a particular Wellness food, I'll be happy to do so for a small fee.
I'll email you, Dorothy – and thank you for your kind words.
My two Himalayans just turned 8 years old and have been on raw food for most of their lives. They have never been sick! I recently discovered Big Bear Howraw frozen raw food and my cats love it. I think it's the healthiest food I've been able to give them so far. The company is going to come out with raw lamb soon which will give me 3 different meats to cycle through. I am so happy with Big Bear raw food!!!
I have two cats one is very picky and will lick the gravy off canned food and want another, her weight is normal the other one is obese and will only eat dry food she does not even like tuna. I have learned that wet cat food is better than dry cat food that the dry cat food is full of carbs which is exactly what my obese cat does not need ! I recently saw a recipe on the Internet for homemade cat food which you add vitamins too I tried to make it and neither cat liked it I don't know what to do but I don't like how they are eating and especially the obese cat I want something healthier for her I feel so helpless about this and would like some feedback ?!?
Don't give up on weaning your cat off dry food, Karinda. You can find lots of information about everything you asked about in the feline nutrition section on this site. I'd also be happy to schedule a consultation to give you more individualized advice.
I'm interested in the consultation ?!?
Thank you for sharing your experience, Anne. That's a remarkable transformation!
My kitty has allergies. I was told by her previous owner that she is allergic to chicken, and it is EXTREMELY difficult to find a healthy pre-made and/or raw food for her to eat. Because of the poultry issue, her vet is recommending we stay away from waterfowl and even eggs … Unfortunately, I find that several of the beef options I've researched include egg, as does the Hoo-RAW. In the future, maybe some of these companies will consider limiting the ingredients even further, which will broaden the client base.
I DO appreciate that they are making the effort and otherwise giving some customers options to the junk food sold out there. Thanks for the article.
Hi I am so pleased Allegra and Ruby loved the raw food. I am thinking of starting my 12.5 year old cat on raw. He as diagnosed with Inflammatory bowel disease (biopsy diagnosis) and mild gastritis about a year ago He has been through so much and is such a brave little trooper! I have stopped all grains and he is only on a premium quality canned food turkey alteranting with duck. It took a while to transition but we are now ok with just wet food and some freeze dried turkey bites. He is on a low dose of prednisolone for maintenance 0.625mg once a day, and I am thinking of letting take a steroid holiday after 8 months. Can I introduce raw food gradually at this stage or do I have to wait till the prednisolone is out of his system to commence? Do I hide a little in his canned food or shall I give it on its own, piecemeal? He is on digestive enzymes and probiotics, as well as milk thistle and vitamin B supplements, and has such a sensitive constitution. Shall I lightly cook the raw foods first? Please advise. The post by Dr Andrea Tasi is excellent, thanks for linking it to your article.
Dr. Tasi advises caution when feeding raw to cats on higher doses of steroids. I would run this by your veterinarian, or consult with a holistic vet, before making the switch, especially since he has a sensitive constitution. That said, raw food can make a big difference for cats with IBD.
Thanks so much for your feedback, yes raw diets are probably best for IBD Kitties!
Can you recommend a holistic vet I can consult on line or by telephone? I live in Asia (Singapore) and Holistic veterinarians a a newly evolving specialty and hard to come by here. My Cat Dr Vet is lovely and she is in favour of homeopathic and holisitic veterinary medicine too. Will ask her as well to advise me. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much Ingrid! I will look up those vets and see if they provide remote consultations. My vet does no practise Homeopathic medicine per se, but is interested in it and is gradually venturing into supplements. How would you start on raw food for a 12.5 year old? Sneak it in or wait till he's really hungry? The ground bones are ok for IBD? His IBD comprises of mild gastritis and some small intestine inflammation and if he doesn't eat on time, he usually chuck up a bit of acid. And the prednisolone does not help it either. That is why I am keen to get him off it with the help of a Homeopathic vet. Do you think it might be better if I did a consult with you seeing that I have a couple of queries? Thank you for your time and kindness!
I'd be happy to schedule a consultatoin, Vanessa. I'll email you.
If hoo-raw is only for supplemental and interrmitent feeding, how would you recommend using it? Adding a vitamin or limiting the number of meals given with this food…?
I would use it for two or three meals a week, and feed a balanced blend the other meals. Alternately, you could also add a vitamin mix to it.
I like the idea of a cooked food, too. For cats who aren't used to raw or for people who aren't quite ready to make the leap just yet, it's a great transition.
But I also wish that there were more non-chicken choices. I have two cats here allergic to chicken and LOTS of companies use chicken as a base (because it's cheap, I guess) and we have to avoid all of them.
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing cultured meats in the next decade! I think they'll revolutionize not only raw feeding, but pet foods in general (people foods, too)! And those of us with allergy-prone kitties can feed lark tongues, swan legs, and springbok thighs without a single animal being killed for it! And we may finally see mouse-flavored commercial cat foods, too (with no actual mice harmed in the process)!
I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of synthetic meats, Casey. It gets us further and further away from whole, natural nutrition. I guess time will tell!
Aw, they're not "synthetic", Ingrid! They're identical to regular meats, just grown in a lab from cells.
And the nice thing is, they won't have contamination risks of salmonella or e. coli or any of there other things that can happen when an animal is slaughtered. No antibiotics or hormones or animal suffering. Plus, their nutrient profile will be tweak able – you'll be able to get meats with a pastured profile or added vitamins or whatever. All without the deaths of food animals. Not to mention using 90% fewer resources to grow a pound of meat in the lab than in the feed lot.
Good for the planet, good for the animals, and good for the people!
AND! This technology will lead to all kinds of wonderful stuff – like growing organs for people and pets! Got a dog with heart disease? We'll grow him a new heart! Got a cat with kidney disease? We'll grow her new kidneys!
Cultured meats are a game changer.

By: @CelebNews

It's not unusual to know someone who is gay nowadays. In fact, you may be gay and reading this. Either way, your sexual preference right now is of no concern.elijah wood gay
By the way, is Elijah Wood gay? No, he's not! Had to point that out because a lot of people ask this question.
1. Rosie O'Donnell
Rosie. You know the one that Donald Trump always talks about? Yup, she's gay! Well she's been gay for a while now. She announced that she way gay back in 2002 when she came out and said:
"I'm a dyke!" "I don't know why people make such a big deal about the gay thing. People are confused, they're shocked like this is a big revelation to somebody."
You can read more about Rosie coming out here.
2. George Takei
George is well-known for his portrayal in Star Trek as Hikaru Sulu. Currently, he's married to Brad Altman and he's been married to him for quite a while now.
He came out as being gay in 2005, but he's been married to Brad since 1987. Right now the Hollywood gay actor is most well known for his social media following both on Facebook and Twitter.
3. Kristen Stewart
You may know her primarily from Twilight as Bella, but you may not know that she is a lesbian. Though she has dated multiple guys before, Kristen just recently came out.
Instead of Hollywood finding out Kristen was gay, she actually came out herself. She believes that a relationship is sacred and does not like being "labeled" with terms like gay.
You can learn more about Kristen's coming out here. For now, we'll continue our list.
4. Jane Lynch
Jane plays Sue on Glee, but she wasn't always as confident as her acting role. When she was a child, she enjoyed boy things and playing with boys. However, by the time she reached age 10, the guys stopped wanting to play with her.
"It was almost like I had a disease I had been diagnosed."
Today, she is more self-assured than she was before. She uses her past as a tool to help in pursuing her passions.
5. Wentworth Miller
Miller is known from Fox's Prison Break. After some episodes in, the ladies wanted to know more about him. Unfortunately for the women that are obsessed with him, he came out gay back in 2013.
"After Prison Break, I came to grips with the fact that my public persona was in misalignment with how I actually felt."
6. Jonathan Groff
Another good looking, gay Hollywood actor. Jonathan came out gay when he was 23 and ever since then, he has noticed his television presence skyrocket. Today, he's 31 years old and working on some big movies. Being gay in Hollywood can be good sometimes!
"When I was dating Gavin and dating Zach, it was more about the people they were instead of the actors they were, which is the same about the people who aren't actors that I've dated," he says. -Huffington Post
7. Neil Patrick Harris
This should come as no surprise that Neil is gay. He is one of the most predominantly known gay actor in Hollywood right now and is married to David Burtka.
Before he knew he was gay, a comical thing happened to Neil. Burt Reynolds, as a joke, leans over to Neil and kisses him. A kiss so powerful that it made him gay...literally!
8. Raven Symon
Remember Raven from That's So Raven? Well, it turns out she's gay as well. Be careful though, she does NOT like being labeled and that includes being labeled as "gay" or "African American."
The gay Disney actor is currently in a relationship with AzMarie Livingston and couldn't be happier. She believes that she's just a human loving another human.
9. Suze Orman
Suzan revealed to the New York Magazine that she was in gay back in 2007. Back then, she had been married to her partner Kathy Travis for seven years. Even till this day, she is still married to Kathy.
In 2015, she decided that it was time to stop being on the air. Right now, she's preserved as a once iconic gay actress.
10. Jim Parsons
Jim is most well known for his role in The Big Bang Theory. Though, he never answered as gay in interviews because no one asked; he's currently really grateful that there was one interviewer that did.
He considers the interviewer outing him out of the closet as a gift. He's currently in a relationship with Todd Spiewak.
11. Jonathan Bennett
The Mean Girls Star came out gay back in 2014 during an interview. Astonishingly enough, he had never come out of the closet and no one knew he was gay until age 33.

C.F.A. VOYSEY
The beautiful wallpapers of this famous English architect & pattern designer, have been lovingly refurbished by a dedicated team of English artists.
Charles Francis Annesley Voysey
28 May 1857 – 12 February 1941
Voysey was one of the founders of the English Arts & Crafts Movement. His delightful patterns reflect the simplicity of the natural world, using the flowing stylized forms of animals, birds and flowers.
"The life of animals might be made a source of stimulating joy in our own lives," Voysey wrote. "We all feel a sense of pleasure when the wild bird sings!"
Highly regarded as a wallpaper designer in the early 20th century, many of his works have become archived over subsequent years. It is our great privilege to breath fresh life into his collections and help establish his rightful legacy in the English Arts & Crafts Movement.
Voysey's wallpapers have a delightful whimsical quality, capturing a childlike naivety that enchants and will give great charm to your decorative scheme.
Many of Voysey's patterns contain a hidden heart motif, see if you can discover some of them!
"Voysey's great contribution to pattern design, lay in his transformation of flowers, trees, and other natural forms into flat shapes or silhouettes - often with no linear detail at all _ then building complex and exciting patterns from these elements." Anne Stewart O'Donnell
C.F.A.Voysey enjoyed a highly successful career as an architect. Many of his iconic homes are still treasured across Europe & North America.
Voysey built homes in a simple vernacular style, using an informality, that was revolutionary in a country house of that time.
These typically exhibit white rough rendered walls with horizontal ribbon windows and large pitched roofs and are recognized as his distinctive style by their simplicity and originality.
Voysey's fame was a result of his total disregard of contemporary design at the time. He drew away from the ornate and intricate look that so many architects and designers favored during Victorian times. He used straight lines, gentle curves and open spaces. He took something of a minimalist approach and held firm in the belief that less is more, an attitude we often come across today.
Voysey designed interiors & furniture to complete his houses. Again the simplicity of design, coupled with the use of traditional craftsmanship, create elegant interiors with a timeless appeal.

? U.S. maintains heavy involvement in sea and air attacks, the more controversial parts of the attack plan.
• U.S. maintains heavy involvement in sea and air attacks, the more controversial parts of the attack plan.
WASHINGTON — NATO agreed to take over command of the newly established no-fly zone over Libya, but the alliance's new role doesn't allow the U.S. to make a quick exit from the costly military operation as the Obama administration had wanted.
American sea and airpower remain key parts of the effort to keep forces loyal to Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi from attacking civilians after allies balked at assuming complete command of the campaign that began six days ago. The U.S., along with France and Great Britain, maintains primary responsibility for attacks on Gadhafi's ground forces and air defense systems, which are the toughest and most controversial parts of the operation.
The Obama administration had sought a clear signal from NATO on the hand over. Instead, it got a mixed message.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen initially announced the agreement in Brussels, saying the alliance could eventually take more responsibility, "but that decision has not been reached yet." Several NATO members — including Turkey, the alliance's only Muslim member — had resisted any involvement in ground attacks.
After Rasmussen's remarks, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton praised NATO for taking over the no-fly zone, even though the U.S. had hoped the alliance would take full control of the operation authorized by the United Nations, including the protection of Libyan civilians and supporting humanitarian aid efforts on the ground.
"We are taking the next step: We have agreed along with our NATO allies to transition command and control for the no-fly zone over Libya to NATO," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said.
"All 28 allies have also now authorized military authorities to develop an operations plan for NATO to take on the broader civilian protection mission," she added.
Lines of authority were unclear Thursday night, but it appeared the NATO decision sets up dual command centers and opens the door to confusion and finger-pointing. U.S. commanders would presumably be chiefly responsible for ensuring that the NATO protective flights do not conflict with planned combat operations under U.S. command.
Senior administration officials said the agreement came in a four-way telephone call with Clinton and the foreign ministers of Britain, France and Turkey. The four worked out the way forward, which included the immediate transfer of command and control of the no-fly zone over Libya, and by early next week of the rest of the U.N.-mandated mission.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military planning, said the actual handover of the no-fly zone would occur in one or two days. They said NATO would have a final operational plan by over the weekend for how it would assume control over the rest of the protection mission, and that it would be executable by Tuesday's meeting in London of nations contributing to the military action.
Clinton also praised the United Arab Emirates for becoming the second Arab country after Qatar to send planes to help the mission to protect Libyan civilians, enforce the U.N. arms embargo on the North African country and support humanitarian aid efforts.
The U.A.E. will deploy 12 planes.
The Pentagon, meanwhile, indicated U.S. warplanes will keep flying strike missions over Libya.
Navy Vice Adm. William Gortney, staff director for the military Joint Chiefs, told reporters that the American role will mainly be in support missions such as refueling allied planes and providing aerial surveillance of Libya. But the U.S. will still fly combat missions as needed, Gortney said.
"And I would anticipate that we would continue to provide some of the interdiction strike packages as well, should that be needed by the coalition," he added, referring to combat missions such as attacks on Libyan mobile air defenses, ammunition depots, air fields and other assets that support Libyan ground forces.

Dayton's name and money carry the political day
Election news dominates the day. ALSO: speeding cars and Taser tales.
By Brian Lambert
It could be a Warren Zevon song, "Money, name and Iron Rangers." But it's close to the essence of Mark Dayton's victory in the DFL gubernatorial race. Everyone is on the story, naturally. Rachel Stassen-Berger at the Strib (with additional staff input) applies a bit of an edge, writing, "Dayton leaves the most expensive gubernatorial primary in state history — the three DFL candidates dumped more than $9 million — and enters one where his millions could easily trump his competitors." Dayton, of course, was outspent by Matt Entenza, who finished a distant third.
Baird Helgeson gets the Strib's election analysis job: "If Dayton wins, 'he is one up on Lazarus, who only rose from the dead once," said David Schultz, a Hamline University professor and political expert. 'It is also a victory of money and name recognition over the DFL machine. Dayton is the outsider with executive experience.' But Dayton also has a long-standing relationship with Minnesota voters, who over the years have elected him to statewide office twice." He adds: "Kelliher's defeat could raise wrenching questions among party leaders who triumphantly anointed the Minnesota House speaker at their endorsing convention earlier this year. She is the first DFL gubernatorial endorsee to lose the primary since 1998. Several Republicans have said Dayton would offer Emmer the best chance of victory in November." The phrase "dream candidate" has also been heard. More often before Emmer's $100K waiter business, obviously.
The PiPress's Bill Salisbury echoes much the same as Schultz: "Dayton's win is likely to put another hole in the DFL endorsing system. It showed that party activists couldn't deliver the votes at the ballot box to make their choice stick. Republicans, by contrast, have routinely backed their party's endorsed candidates in primaries. Dayton, an heir to his family's department store fortune, spent more than $3 million on his primary campaign. But Entenza spent more than $5 million of his family's fortune. Kelliher, whose family is not wealthy, managed to raise more than $1 million for her bid. Dayton and Entenza overwhelmed Kelliher with television advertising."
The MPR story, written by Tim Pugmire, gets an odd quote from Entenza, who finished a distant third after spending $5 million of his own money: "In a brief concession speech before a few dozen campaign staffers and volunteers, Entenza pledged to support the eventual party nominee. Entenza thanked his running mate, former TV news anchor Robyne Robinson, whom he credited for getting other African Americans involved in the campaign. 'This campaign, in ways that no campaign has ever done, reached out to our communities of color,' Entenza said. 'We have awakened them in a way that's profound and in which we need to make sure that the DFL continues to do. I'm committed, as I know Robyne is committed, to making sure that the voice of those communities which strongly supported us, and we saw that today, is a voice that will continue to be heard.' " Not sure which campaign he's really referring to there.
Early evening analysis on a race like Tuesday's can get funky in retrospect. WCCO's post-poll closing report from about 9:30 last night gets off to a rough start, but Esme Murphy pretty well nails what's going down.
MPR's Mike Mulcahy on the station's 'Polinaut" blog has Secretary of State Mark Ritchie estimating a meager 10 to 11 percent turnout, with a lot of absentee voting: "Secretary of State Mark Ritchie says it looks like nearly 31,000 absentee ballots were cast in the primary, which is a new record. Unfortunately, after all the publicity around the 2008 U.S. Senate recount, it also look likes about 1,080 absentee ballots were rejected. That's just about the same percentage as were rejected in 2008." But did those "Felons for Franken" who got so much attention vote straight DFL?
Power Line's Scott Johnson doesn't tippy-toe around his breakdown of the night's action. "Dayton's television advertising has sought to convey a message of all the good things he will do as Minnesota's chief executive. In the meantime, Dayton's family and union friends have run a relentless barrage of attack ads regarding Republican nominee Tom Emmer. The attack ads feature Emmer's ancient drunk driving convictions, among other things. The attack on Emmer is made on behalf of a candidate who is not only an alcoholic with mental problems, but who fell off the wagon as a United States Senator during his last year in office just a few years ago. Dayton disgraced himself in his single term as United States Senator. He has done nothing to prove himself fit to serve in an executive capacity, but his money has served him well so far." I suspect we'll be hearing more on that theme through the fall.
Elsewhere, gay Republican state Sen. Paul Koering lost. The AP story says: "Koering was knocked during the campaign for straying from his party on legislative votes. The race got wide exposure this summer when Koering, who is gay, acknowledged dining with a male adult film star. Koering had complained the state party was engaged in dirty campaigning when it filed requests with area law enforcement for any records authorities had on him." And, "Koering told the Dispatch he wouldn't support Gazelka. 'The (Republican) party has taken a hard turn to the right,' he said. 'That's not where most people are.' " And the gay porn thing is a little tough on the rock-ribbed crowd.
"Really, officer? I had no idea I was going that fast." Those words were probably not uttered by the guy ripping down a back road in Wadena County last month … at 178 mph. (The speed estimate comes from his apparently freaked-out female companion, not the cops.) Bob Von Sternberg's story for the Strib is short and sweet. "The driver of the red Corvette, who was not identified, was the fastest to be busted by law enforcement officials during a statewide sweep against speeders conducted by Minnesota's law enforcement agencies throughout July." The runner-up was a Bronco in Kandiyohi County pulled over at 128 mph. (And I get ticketed for expired tabs …)
For their sake, let's say the heat drove them to it. As Tad Veznor writes in the PiPress, a 20-year-old Frogtown "man" blasted an 8-year-old neighbor kid in the head with a paintball gun, because the kid owed him $5. When the cops showed up he got belligerent and had to be Tasered at which point, more or less, "A 22-year-old female cousin of the man then jumped on the back of the officer's partner, who pepper-sprayed her. The man was booked into the Ramsey County Jail on suspicion of aggravated assault and obstructing legal process. His cousin was also booked on suspicion of obstructing legal process and disorderly conduct."
Veznor's Taser Beat kicks out still another story, this one about St. Paul cops chasing a guy on … a go-kart, with a lawn mower engine … around downtown. "Four squad cars were able to force the go-cart into a parking lot near the main post office. But once there, the man continued to weave around and try to escape, once hitting his neck on a low-hanging chain bordering the lot. He kept his seat and continued driving. Finally, one officer got out of his car, ran up to the man and yelled at him to stop. Still the man refused, police said. The officer pulled out a Taser and fired, connecting and shocking the driver. The man let go of his steering wheel and began to slow, but the shock abated and the man again grabbed hold of the steering wheel and tried to regain control. The officer shocked him again. The second Taser shock ended, and the go-cart slowed and stopped. Officers pulled the driver out of his seat and attempted to subdue him, but he fought with them, and they Tased him a third time." THREE tasers and he's still kicking? Send that guy to training camp in Mankato.
Under the file heading of "I always wondered how they did that?": MPR's Mark Steil explains the process by which the feds estimate the size of the nation's crops as the growing season reaches its peak and preparations for harvest … and commodities markets are being made. Imagine if all the corn fields in the nation were stitched together into one giant patch. All together, this field would be some 89 million acres, about the size of Minnesota and Iowa combined. "Agriculture Department workers help come up with the estimate by heading to individual fields. The start of the enormous undertaking looks about as sophisticated as following an old pirate map. 'We go in 75 rows, and then we turn south and we start counting out 360 paces,' said USDA worker Diane Dick on a recent outing." The much-awaited crop forecasts are due out Thursday morning.

Pumpkin Island Lighthouse
Little Deer Isle, Maine
Off Route 15 on the northwestern entrance to Eggemoggin Reach.
Private residence.
Pumpkin Island lighthouse was established in 1855 as a result of vessels carrying lumber and for increasing tourism to the area. The lighthouse had one of the earliest Fresnel lenses in Maine incorporated into its construction. It stands 28 feet high with a black lantern.
Its first keeper was John Chester Tibbetts, who owned the property and sold the island to the government. He went to sea as a young man, and became a ship captain. When her was apponited, he stayed at the lighthouse until 1861, and then ran a local store, served as postmaster, and also served as deacon of a local church nearby in the town of Brooklin.
During the Civil War at the Battle of Fredricksburg, Charles Babson was shot and had to have his leg amputated. During his recuperation one day, he didn't move and was pronounced dead as word was sent out to his family about his demise. Hours later a nurse noticed one of his fingers moving, and with the help of a doctor, were able to revive him.
He was appointed keeper to Pumpkin Island Light and successfully tended the beacon with one good leg from 1870 to 1902.

Keeper Charles Newman was kept busy assisting those in distress with the popular powerboats used in the 1920s. In 1920, he towed the disabled powerboat Ark to the station and helped repair its engine. In 1922 he rescued two ladies and two children who were set adrift in their disabled powerboat, and in 1923 he put out a fire on another powerboat. He requested and was provided a telephone to call for help in case of emergencies. The reason being that in the winter of 1922, when the bay was frozen over, he fell into a hole in the ice and nearly froze to death, as help was unavailable due to the beacon's very rural location. He had to put the telephone in at his own expense but was happy to oblige to stay connected.
Pumpkin Island lighthouse is located near Little Deer Isle. Little Deer Isle is actually part of the town of Deer Isle where visitors will find little has changed over the last 50 years.
There are numerous fishing villages all around this area of islands with lobstering and fishing as the main source of the economy, although tourism has also found its niche in Deer Island and the area.
Because of its quaint untouched beauty, many artists and photographers live and also frequent this area.
There are a number of historic B&B's around his area to enjoy some real Maine hospitality.
There is also Causeway Beach, a little sandy beach open to the public free on a hot day. You can also find plenty of places to canoe or kayak around the many islands that surround this area.
Check out Nervous Nellie's Jams and Jellies. Not only can you get great tasting jams, but a glass pot buoy, pottery, nervous Nellie story episode books, and birdhouses among other gift items. While you're there, explore the interesting art sculptures made of industrial scrap, wood, and all kinds of materials by owner Peter Beerits. Not just your typical store.
From Route 1 in Orland, take Route 175 South to Route 15.
From Route 15, cross the Deer Island suspension bridge and turn right after the visitor station onto Eggemoggin Road.
Continue on Eggemoggin Road for almost 3 miles to the end.
You'll find a turn off spot where visitors are not allowed to go any further (sign stating as private path), where you can still get a close view of the lighthouse.
