He had been vice president of the United States for seven months when he returned to Minnesota to speak at the 1965 commencement ceremony at St. Olaf College. Under a brilliant early-summer sky, Hubert Horatio Humphrey leaned into the microphone and reminded the graduates that technology wasn't the only answer to the world's problems. "We must recognize technology's effect on society and insure that it continues to serve us, and not itself," he noted. "There is only one certain way we can achieve this," he said soberly. "It is through education" The vice president's speech was reported faithfully, without editorial comment, but few people paid much attention to his words. For nearly two decades, technological advances had put spirit back into a country that was worn out from war, bringing color television, contact lenses, Sputnik 1, copy machines, aerosol cans, stereo record systems, lasers, satellite communications and a computer built at the University of Pennsylvania that could complete 5,000 additions every second; when it was operating, it dimmed the lights of the surrounding city. Technology was exciting and even as the vice president convinced those St. Olaf graduates of the validity of his message, it was already in charge of America's destiny. When, in 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was launched into space aboard a tiny capsule only seven and a half feet wide, and learned how it felt to leave earth's gravity, the Space Age was christened. Minnesota technology played an essential role in early space experiments. In cooperation with (NASA), the G.T. Schjeldahl Company, of Northfield, built a massive communications balloon, 135 feet in diameter and approximately thirteen stories high that would inflate in space. Made of Schjeldahl "superpressure" fabrics the "Satelloon" (called ECHO II), was launched only blocks from the Schjeldahl plant. It would circle the earth—from pole to pole— in a little over two hours, deflecting communications signals as it moved. The Schjeldahl Company would be involved in twenty satellite programs through the decade and Gilmore Schjeldahl ("Shelly"), founder of the company, used materials and processes invented for the space program to build more profitable products like the popular "Schel-Dome" at Lutsen Resort on Lake Superior, where winter guests could bask by a covered pool as if it were the middle of summer. Whether in preparation for the exploration of outer space or in readiness for an information age that was right around the corner, Minnesota's adaptable labor pool was heady with new job opportunities. Between 1956 and 1961, technically oriented companies popped up all over the state increasing from 86 to 140. Minnesota began manufacturing data processing and mass memory systems, tape recorders, hearing aids, heat-regulation equipment, electronic circuits, sound and video recording tapes, military components, and Medtronic’s early prototypes of implantable medical devices. The father of Minnesota's electronic industry, Minneapolis Honeywell, ranked 129th among Fortune magazine's listing of the 500. Founded in 1885 to manufacture heat regulator controls, Honeywell created missile guidance systems, instruments, controls, and other components for the military after World War II. By 1959, 25 percent of the company's sales were to the military, and with 14,000 employees Honeywell was the state's largest private employer. The key to Honeywell's growth was diversification, and another company that clearly understood this was General Mills, who, by the end of the 1950s was the country's largest flour miller and the 75th largest corporation in the United States. Little known to the cereal eating public is that 15 percent of General Mills' employees worked for its mechanical division, producing navigation and guidance systems, instrument and testing equipment, digital computers, and nuclear equipment engineering. Further, General Mills supported considerable research in optics and meteorology, including a high-altitude balloon called Project Skyhook. It was launched in St. Cloud and carrying a payload of sixty-three pounds; soared more than 100,000 feet before landing at Eau Claire, Wisconsin. St. Paul's claim to corporate fame is 3M (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing). Ranked 106th in 1960 by the Fortune 500 magazine, it gained international attention for producing the world's first dry copier—and its universally branded Scotch tape. Today 3M is producing everything from Post-it notes to the films used in TV’s and cell phones. It is now ranked 16th, and is one of the world’s most innovative companies, ranking #3 only behind Apple and Google. It’s a great state Minnesotans, with great achievements and incredible opportunity. “Go out and get some”

• At Norris Geyser Basin, magma is nearer to the surface than any other place in the park. When you drill a deep hole in the crust of the earth, the temperature increases the farther down you go. Normally, this temperature increase is fairly constant: 1.4 F for every 100 feet down. However, a hole drilled in Norris Geyser Basin showed that the temperature increased 89 times faster, at the rate of 124 F for every 100 feet down. Therefore, water that trickles down heats up rapidly as it descends. • There are an estimated 10,000 thermal features in the park including hot pools, fumaroles, mud pots, and seeps. Only about three percent of Yellowstone’s thermal features are geysers, defined as hot water that spurts forcefully out of the ground. In fact, there are only six geysers that erupt 100 feet or higher on a regular daily basis. • Upper Geyser Basin (home of Old Faithful) contains the densest concentration of geysers in the world. About 25% of the world’s geysers are located in this two square mile area. One area of the basin has 140 geysers concentrated in a single square mile. In total, Yellowstone has about 300 active geysers, more than anywhere else on the planet. • About 85 percent of the more than 3 million visitors to Yellowstone annually will see Old Faithful erupt before they leave the park, about 25,000 people daily during summer. • Old Faithful is not the tallest geyser, nor the hottest, and it does not discharge the most water. It is not the most regular, but it does erupt on a predictable basis 20 to 23 times daily, about once every 74 minutes. • Old Faithful spews about 8,500 gallons of water every eruption. That’s enough water in to supply a typical American with water for 85 days, at the rate of 100 gallons per day. • Next to Old Faithful, Morning Glory Pool may be the single thermal feature most often visited by tourists. Long ago, the hot spring was so hot that no algae grew in it, and so the clear water reflected the blue sky. Then people began throwing things into the water, partially clogging the vent and causing the water temperature to drop. This allowed algae to grow, spoiling the reflective effect. In 1950 rangers decided to clean the crater. They lowered the water level, which induced the spring to erupt as a geyser. Items regurgitated by the spring included $86.27 in pennies, logs, bottles, tin cans, 76 hankies, towels, socks, shirts, and underwear. In all, 112 items were removed from the throat of the spring, which improved the color of the pool considerably. • Yellowstone produces 3.3 million acre-feet of water every year, making it one of the richest sources of water in the West. Because a single acre-foot is enough to serve the needs of a typical family of four, that’s enough to supply the needs of 13

million people, or about the population of Illinois. The four trillion gallons of water that pour out of Yellowstone each year would be enough to fill Lake Superior 12 times. Twelve major rivers originate in the Greater Yellowstone area, including four very large ones: the Snake River, the Missouri River, the Yellowstone River, and the Green River. Unusual Features • Twin Lakes are two lakes connected by a small inlet near a geyser basin. One lake is blue; the other is green. One lake is cool and other is hot, so their varied kinds of algae make them different colors. In the autumn, one lake freezes before the other one. • Two Ocean Creek splits in half in the middle of a meadow, with one half of the creek running into the Yellowstone River and going down the eastern side of the Continental Divide into the Gulf of Mexico, and the other half running into the Snake River on the west side, ending up in the Pacific Ocean. One is called Atlantic Creek; the other is called Pacific Creek. There are no other places on earth where a single creek drains into two oceans. • Yellowstone Lake has an underwater geyser. Once every 25 minutes, the water roils and boils when this submerged geyser erupts about 20 feet below the surface. Researchers sent an underwater video camera into this spot to see what was happening. They found that trout regularly patrol the area, feeding on clouds of tiny crustaceans and aquatic insects stirred up by the eruptions. The feature was dubbed The Trout Jacuzzi. • The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is 20 miles long, 1,500 to 4,000 feet wide, and up to 1,500 feet deep. If you hike all the way to the bottom of the canyon and all the way back up again, it would be equal to taking the stairs to the top of the Willis Tower in Chicago (formerly known as the Sears Tower) which is the tallest building in North America, and then back down again. The hike has been described as “five miles in and 35 miles out.â€? • In Norris Geyser Basin you’ll find Geezer Geyser, named by smart-alecks in 1974. • Constant Geyser in Norris was named by some sarcastic wit because it erupts at completely irregular and unpredictable intervals, and the eruption lasts all of five seconds.

TIP by JoAnn Derson
▲ If the vegetables you’re cooking give off an unpleasant smell, grab a small saucepan and simmer a bit of plain vinegar while cooking. It will negate the smell, and leave your house smelling pleasantly like mealtime afterward.
▲ “Cornstarch is great for itchy, rashy skin. This is true for babies’ bottoms and for doggy bellies, which is what I use it for. My pup is allergic to grass but loves to romp. Sometimes his belly gets red, and I clean it with a mild soap and water, then give him a cornstarch rub. It sure helps.” -- T.W. in Ohio ▲ Want to keep your cut flowers fresh longer? Add a teaspoon of chlorine bleach to the water and change it out every few days. ▲ Spruce up indoor greenery with a little mineral oil. To get your green plants’ leaves shining and healthy, wipe them down with a clean cloth dipped in mineral oil. Rub off any excess. ▲ “Save egg cartons for children’s painting palettes. It’s very easy to give kids
a small amount of many colors, and when they are each in their own cup, they don’t get spread out and run together as quickly. Plus, they are easy to carry.” -- O.L. in Utah ▲ “A beautiful but stained or worn tablecloth can find a new life at your dinner table. Cut into napkin sizes, and give any frayable ends a hemming.” -- A.S. in Oregon ▲ Here’s a great winter tip that’s double purpose: After your dishwasher has done its job, open the door and let the dishes air dry rather than machine dry. You’ll save on energy, while you add warmth and humidity to your home’s air. ▲ A damp cloth plus baking soda should by your first weapon against stains in the kitchen and bathroom.

CROWS & RAVENS The class of birds known scientifically as corvidae includes crows, ravens, magpies, and jays. In each of these species, the brain to body ratio equals that of dolphins, and nearly matches our own. These are the brainiacs of the bird family, smarter than eagles, hawks, and owls. • A scientist put an animal carcass out where ravens could find it, then broadcast over a loudspeaker the typical call a raven will give to alert others that it has found a source of food. Twenty seconds later, a single raven flew to the carcass, inspected it, and left. Two minutes later, 29 ravens were gathered around. They also flew off, but the next morning 40 ravens gathered around the carcass and then they began to feed. Ravens prefer to feed in groups around carcasses to better protect them from coyotes and other carnivores that may also be feeding there. • Ravens that have found a complete carcass are unable to open it to reach the meat. They have been known to go in search of wolves, coyotes, or even a person, guiding it back to the meat by circling and calling so that it can have a chance to eat scraps. • Researchers watching crows drop snail shells on rocks to crack them open later determined that the height the crows dropped them from was exactly the height needed to crack them open. To drop them from a lesser distance would have meant wasted energy when they failed to open; to drop them from a greater height also wasted energy by extra flying and increased the chances the snail would roll into the water. The crows also dipped the snail into the water to wash away annoying bits of shell that clung to the meat. • Ravens seem to have "names" for each other and when separated will call out for each other. • One crow, unable to break open tasty acorns, solved the problem by dropping them on a street and waiting until a car ran over them. • A man once tossed crackers to a raven until the raven was full. The raven wanted to take more crackers back to its cache, but it could pick up only one cracker at a time in its beak. By the time it got back to collect the next cracker, other critters would have stolen the food. The
Page 4
man was astonished to see the raven solve the dilemma by tucking the crackers side by side into a snowbank. When several were lined up together, the raven was able to pick them all up at one time like a stack of nickels and fly off with them all. • A crow was watching ice fishermen. It saw the men bait the hooks, drop the line into the hole in the ice, then wait until a signal flag bobbed, indicating a fish was on the line. Then they'd haul up the line and collect the fish. While the fishermen were occupied at other holes, the crow watched the flag bob at another hole. It tried to pull the line up by grasping it in its beak, but it couldn't pull the line up far enough. So it pulled the line as far onto the ice as it could, then stood on it to keep it from slipping back into the water. It walked on the line back to the fishing hole, where it grasped the line in its beak once again and backed up. It did this over and over until the fish flopped out onto the ice. • A crow being attacked by a falcon got away when it flew between two strands of barbed-wire fence. The falcon had a wider wing-span and was caught in the wire. • Researchers have identified about 300 crow "words," yet one crow cannot understand the dialect of crows from a different area.
Women in History: EMMA CARPENTER COWAN • Emma Carpenter, born in Wisconsin in 1853, moved to Montana with her family in 1864. Emma married a lawyer named George Cowan when she was 22. In 1872, Yellowstone became the world’s first national park. Emma and George decided to travel to the area to celebrate their 2nd wedding anniversary. At that time, Yellowstone was a wilderness area with only rough wagon trails. An expedition was mounted, consisting of Emma and George, several friends, and Emma’s older brother and younger sister. • It took several days of travel to reach the park. Along the way they heard disturbing news of Indian warfare. The Nez Perce tribe had been unceremoniously evicted from their tribal lands in Idaho by white settlers. They preferred to flee to Canada rather than settle on reservation lands. The army was summoned to force the tribe into subjugation.

• Emma didn’t fear the Indians, and the trip went forward. They marveled at the geysers they found in Yellowstone. But then they encountered the Nez Perce Indians, who asked them for supplies. George refused to help them, and was rude. Emma advised him to hold his tongue. When one member of their party started to give the Indians some food, George angrily stopped the exchange. Finally, several warriors told them that they were officially being held hostage, but that they could earn their freedom by exchanging their fresh horses for the Indian’s worn-out horses. When George objected– against the advice of his wife– one of the warriors shot him. It was their second wedding anniversary, and Emma watched her husband fall. • Emma rushed to his side, finding he’d been shot in the leg. Another Indian shot him in the head. In the confusion, several members of the party escaped, while Emma, her sister, and her brother were taken prisoner. After traveling with the tribe for several days, a tribal council was held. The elders decided to let them go, giving them a few supplies. • They soon ran into soldiers, who gave them provisions and went to find George’s body. Instead, they found George. After being shot twice, he blacked out. When he regained consciousness, he
Assisted Living, Inc. began crawling down the trail. A Nez Perce warrior found him and shot him a third time, this time striking him in the hip. Yet still he did not die. • When he was found, his rescuers gave him food and supplies, built him a fire, and went to get help. The campfire spread while he was sleeping, burning him badly– so now he had three bullet holes and third degree burns. When Emma received news of his survival, she took a carriage to meet him. The horses spooked while going around a hairpin turn and the carriage overturned, dumping George into a deep ravine. When George finally arrived in the town of Bozeman, a doctor was summoned. The moment the doctor sat on George’s bed, the bed collapsed to the ground. Emma said, “This sudden and unexpected fall, in his enfeebled state, nearly finished him.” • Emma nursed him back to health. They later had three children together. Emma’s brother wrote a book about their experiences. George died in 1926 at the age of 84, and Emma died in 1938, aged 85. The Nez Perce tribe were captured just a few miles short of the Canadian border, and spent the next eight years on a reservation in Oklahoma before being allowed to return to Idaho.

The Reluctant Psychic Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a New Year
Have you ever thought about adding a trip to a psychic to your new yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad idea, if you go prepared. Planning and being prepared for a new year is always an exciting and fun time for me. I tend to sit down with paper and pencil and write out the things I'd like to accomplish that year along with the things that I'd like to experience. Sitting down with your trusted psychic can help make your planning easier. Before you make that appointment, first spend a little time writing down what you'd like to know. It's always fun to just have information given to you and I'm sure a large amount of what you're told won't have anything to do with your list. However, if you're going to spend time and money, I recommend getting answers to specific things you'd like to know. Typical questions that come up in a reading could be; will you get a raise? Can you expect to find love any time soon? Are there children (or grandchildren) in your future? Will my house sell this year? I suggest that once you get an answer, add a secondary question to it. Will I get a raise? If the answer is no, perhaps you could rephrase the question to be - is

there anything I can do this year that will allow me to get a raise. Those are two different questions with the possibility of different answers. Something to keep in mind. All of the answers you get are a guideline to the things that will happen in your life. You still have free will and can change a lot of things to happen in a different way. If you're fond of taking the road less traveled, but you want to have a year with no bumps in it - perhaps this year you need to take the road well traveled....or you might learn in your reading that by taking the road less traveled you will have no bumps and an extraordinary life experience.

Joe E Louis ■ The second day on a diet is always easier than the first. By the second day you're off of it. Jackie Gleason ■ Another good reducing exercise consists of placing both hands against the table edge and pushing back. Robert Quillen ■ There's somebody at every party who eats all the celery.

● Those who study such things say that the 15 most commonly used words in the English language are, in descending order: I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, them, what, the, a and an. ****************** Thought for the Day: “The greatest accomplishment is not in never failing, but in rising again after you fall.” -- Vince Lombardi (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
● Have you ever noticed the small bumps that seem to cover your tongue? Many people think that these are taste buds. In fact, there are more than 200 taste buds on each of those bumps.
● If you’re an arachnophobe, it you probably don’t want to know that a tarantula can live for up to two years without eating a thing.
● The English word “toast” to describe a piece of browned bread comes from the Latin word “tostare,” which means “roasted.” The word “toast” to mean kind words spoken while sharing wine also comes from the same root, though in a roundabout way. In the Middle Ages, wine was not always of the highest quality; as a gesture of goodwill and hospitality to guests, a piece of toast was sometimes added to improve the flavor. Eventually (as vintages improved, one might assume), the browned bread was forgotten and only the words remained.
● At one time in Alabama, it was illegal to wear a false mustache to church.
● Many people see dogs as doing heroic work in tandem with law enforcement and the military, but they’re not the only animals put to such use. In Mozambique, sniffer rats are being used to find unexploded land mines so experts can disarm them. They’re known as HeroRATs.
● Those who study such things say that the wind power in an average hurricane is equivalent to 1.5 trillion watts. That’s the same amount of power that is generated by fully half of the entire world’s generating capacity.
● Only one-fifth of homes in America are not air-conditioned. In the sweltering South, a mere 5 percent lack that vital amenity.
● If you’re an oenophile -- that’s an aficionado of wine -- you probably won’t be surprised to learn that as the cost of a wine goes up, so does a drinker’s appreciation of that wine. It seems that it’s not all about the quality of the vintage, though: In a recent study, tasters were offered two samples of the same wine, but each sample was labeled with a different price. The tasters overwhelmingly preferred the more expensive vintage.
● It was Albert Einstein who offered the following explanation of relativity: “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.”

At 2.2 million acres, Yellowstone National Park is larger than states of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. If you set out to hike the boundary of the park, you’ll walk about 300 miles. Join Tidbits as we take a look at some of the unusual features of the park. • Yellowstone is actually the caldera of an ancient super-volcano that’s still active. The eruption of the Yellowstone volcano two million years ago left a hole in the ground larger than the state of Rhode Island. • Yellowstone is one of about 30 volcanic hotspots on the planet. At other places on the planet, as continental plates drift over the top of hotspots, they form chains of islands such as the Galapagos Islands, and Azores, the Aleutians, and the Hawaiian Islands. The Yellowstone hotspot is the only hotspot that’s located in the middle of a continent, possibly because there was a natural weakness in the crust or perhaps because a huge meteorite punched a hole through the crust like a pipeline. The hotspot stays in one place while the continent slides over the top of it, like a rug being dragged over a rock. • The crust of cold solid rock on top of the earth on the average continent is about 20 miles thick. Magma is usually found about 40 miles deep, but in Yellowstone, bulge of magma only two miles from the surface is restlessly pressing upwards.
