Dr. Marek Kacewicz of theChevron Energy Technology Com-pany spoke about the developmentof petroleum systems modeling,from some of the early stages, tothe present day, while addressingsome of his personal goals andwishes for the future. As he put it,petroleum systemsmodeling is an in-tegration of geo-logical disciplinesto basically evalu-a t e s e d i m e n t a r ybasins. A majorityof the work done byKacewicz focusesover a broad slateof time scales andregional scenarios. Kacewicz wasintroduced to the crowd as a long-vetted member of the modelingcommunity, and while he did notstart out as a geologist, his back-ground in mathematics helped himfocus in on the technical issuesfacing the development of model-ing systems.

While unconventional systemswould be discussed in the questionand answer portion of the lecture,the primary target of the presen-tation focused on the sedimentcompaction and the evolution of porosity and permeability throughtime in typical sedimentary basins.

Tho se tra its are the n ana lyz edalongside factors such as thematuration of the source rocks,hydrocarbon volumes, and pore

pressure to give a general andaccurate insight into the system.Kacewicz did his best to displaya current system while runningthrough the multitude of factorsthat needed to be considered,highlighting each for the audience.

The fund ament al prin cipl e of petroleum systems modeling is theinterdisciplinary connections thatare needed to make a model work.

Kacewicz was sureto highlight whatd isc ip l ines wereneeded to advancea stage of the mod-eling throughout thepresentation.

Most [model-ers] come from onediscipline and learnsome others, stat-

ed Kacewicz, and there was nodoubt that communication waskey to good work. The laundry listof backgrounds listed off echoedof a department list for the school,among the more necessary wereseismic analysis, sedimentology,geochemistry, rock mechanics,and petrophysics. As the disci-plines have worked together tofurther modeling, positive bene tshave developed. Kacewicz provedthis by saying, From ten years agoto today, there has been a changein de nition of what we can get.

Another driving force behind thedevelopment of petroleum systemsmodeling is a progressive increasein computing, from old schoolmachines to the high performancecomputing and cloud functions of

Advances in petroleum modelingtoday. Kacewicz started by blissful-ly recalling some of the lost bene tsof old technology. When displayinga slide of an old Cray machine,Kacewicz jocundly revealed, Theywere better than laptops becauseyou [could] sit on them in order tothink things through.

The sep ara tio n of man frommachine and even machine fromof ce building would be the even -tual direction of the history of themodeling machines. Kacewiczthen focused on the necessarysteps, or layers according to hisdiagram, that one had to progressthrough to come to a solution.

They are, as Kacewicz pu t bluntly,what you have to go through todo petroleum systems modeling.

The progress ion of the stepswas linear, working through dataintegration, seismic inversion andinterpretation, process description,mesh interpretation and numeri-cal solvers, and nally calibration,uncertainty and risk.

These steps are bolstere d byhigh performance computing andsecurity, the latter of which wasrevealed to be crucial as the art of petroleum systems modeling is putinto the realm of cloud computing.Kacewicz went through each facetof the process and discussed thecurrent state of the step, as wel l aswhere it is going and how close it isto being there. For data integrationit was simple, what was needed is awless communication betweentools and between disciplines.Kacewicz was hopeful for thefuture, but with some disdain he

revealed that they were still not atthat point.

For data interpretation and seis-mic inversions, Kacewicz revealedone of the most remarkable bitsof technology that was used. Wedecided that there are some sys-tems that are so complicated thatwe want to see them in three di-mensions, announced Kacewicz.What came from that was revealedto be a room where modelerscould inspect three dimensionalgrids and move them around inreal space with the use of specialgoggles and gloves. Towards thefuture, interpretation still has lack-ing elements. Kacewicz highlightedthe need for better understandingof both salt and sediment evolutionas well as the properties of thesource rocks.

In terms of his process for in-terpretation, Kacewicz was frank,saying, If I dont get back what isin the well, I go back to the modeland I change the transforms.

This has proven to be especiall yimportant in terms of faults; if thereis an interpreted fault but the datadoesnt match what is modeled,there is something wrong withthe fault interpretation. Processdescription on the other handwas described as a much simplerstep. It entails being able to havedata resolution at all useful levelsin such a way that connectionscan be made between the involveddisciplines.

Although it is a much moretechnical step, Kacewicz devoted

a large amount of time to work-ing through dynamic meshing. Thekey for the meshing process is todetermine if hydrocarbons can ndtheir way to a location in the sub-surface. Since part of the model-ing involves the release of hydro-carbons from their sources, thepathways that become apparentthrough the meshing are essentialfor model based exploration.

Just as it has been a key wordfor Van Tuyl lectures in the past,complexity reared its face in mesh-ing. If you miss the complexityof the system, it is not good, ex-plained Kacewicz.

In opposition to the complex-ity, it is also necessary to have fast

solutions to evaluate a model as itevolves. Kacewicz nished up withthe meshing portion by explainingthe necessity for powerful process-ing in meshing. Where a slow sys-tem is easy to model through themeshing, fast systems are labori-ous and need top of the line ma-chines.

The last major step of petro-leum systems design involved atough question and a more dif cultanswer. Kacewicz asked, How dowe handle uncertainties? For themodeling procedure, uncertaintiesare dealt with by creating mapsthat indicate the probability thathydrocarbons exist in a given loca-

tion. The lecture continued with abit of humor, as he put up a slideof some extremely complex math-ematics. I would like you to mem-orize this one, grinned Kacewicz,It is not very easy.

As he had alluded earlier in thelecture, the end was devoted todiscussing high powered comput-ing and security. While most of thepeople in the lecture were geosci-entists, there wasa sense of amaze-ment as Kacewiczwalked through thedesign of several of his computing sys-tems. Part of hiswork is devotedto optimizing thesoftware to bestutilize the machin-ery. Hearkeningback to the equations from earlier,Kacewicz described the processof designing arrays that could pullin the variables and equations andoutput them in a timely matter. Thatlead directly into the discussionon cloud computing as a power-ful force in the future. Kacewiczshope was that in the future bothlarge and small petroleum shopswill be able to use the same mate-rial to both sides advantage. It isnot just a question of storing data,but a question of computing onothers systems, Kacewicz saidwith pride, Instead of developingthings ourselves, we can connectit with others. Since cloud com-puting was mentioned as beingimportant to the future, there was

Petroleum system modelsalso discussion on security. At thebeginning of the year Kacewiczhad some concern from some of his colleagues over who may belooking at data online. Who knowswho is looking at these things,Kacewicz reminisced, Oh wait,here is the NSA.

Before questions, the future of petroleum systems modeling wasbrought up one last time. Kacewicz

wants to see moreprogression in ad-vanced seismic in-version to the pointwhere it could bedone real time, sothat drilling resultscould be seen tobuild immediatesubsurface mod-els.

The focus of thequestion and answer portion wasdevoted to linking modern petro-leum systems modeling to otherdisciplines and tasks. The ability forthe models to be done on geother-mal systems was one of the majorpoints brought up, a concern thatKacewicz dealt with by explaininghow they were very much related.

The question of the most key un-certainty was also brought up andrevealed to be calculating subsur-face velocities. Kacewicz displayedsome concern over the variablesbut also stated with con dence hisability to know what was going on,I have a statistically meaningfulsample of projects I have been partof, maybe one thousand... or two...or three.

After many years of long anddif cult study, engineers can takecomfort in the fact that they can berewarded with a cool job, such asone in the eld of rocket science.Companies like ATK allow engineersand others to combine their knowl-edge of math and science to thepractical use of launching rocketsand other crafts into atmosphereand outer space. As Dr. JanicaCheney, the Safety and Mission As-sistance Director of ATKs Defenseand Commercial division explained,rocket science largely involves acombination of the principles of Physics and Chemistry combinedwith a fair bit of practical testing.

As Dr. Cheney put it, workingwith and designing spacecraft re-quires a basic knowledge of New-tons Laws (particularly the rst law),energetic material, basic Chemistry,and energy diagrams in relation toenergetic material. Newtons thirdlaw, for every action there is anequal and opposite reaction, is theprinciple that allows the solid rocketmotor basis to work. Newtons rstlaw allows the rocket to overcomegravity and air resistance and thesecond law allows rocket scientiststo calculate the necessary forces re-quired for the rocket to perform asintended.

Rocket scientists also needto understand energetic materialwhich has a high amount of inter-nally stored chemical energy that

can be released on demand withoutatmospheric oxygen. Dr. Cheneyalso pointed out, if engineers cangure out how to get an oxygen-hydrogen reaction out of the vehiclein a fast and ef cient way to over -comeinertiathat would be agame-changer for space.

The general considerations forenergetic material include a needfor high density, which can beachieved through high symmetryand increased cyclization, high heatof formation, an oxygen balance tocarbon dioxide and water, and a lowaverage molecular weight of the gasproducts. In terms of basic chemis-try, rocket scientists need to knowthe energy required to break metal-metal bonds, passive oxidation of expelled material, and how to makea very energetic reaction. They alsoneed to understand how energy di-agrams relate to energetic materialso they can calculate and anticipateactivation energy and hazard sensi-tivity as well as potential energy andenergetic material performance.

Rocket fuel reactions usuallyrequire a large change in enthalpy,which can be achieved with materi-als that have a high atomic weightand bonds between electronegativechemicals. Dr. Cheney ended thepresentation with some examplesand explanations of the techno-logically impressive spacecraft thatrocket scientists get to be partiallyresponsible for creating and a re-minder that sitting through years of study and hard work is most de -nitely worth the reward.

The world n eeds clea n energy. At some point in the future, car-bon dioxide emissions may riseto dangerous levels, and scien-tists and engineers are workingvigorously to nd a practical solu -tion to that issue. Edward Maginnfrom the University of Notre Damecurrently runs a project investigat-ing the properties of the relativelynew substance ionic liquids and

how developing new materials forenergy and environmental prob-lems can be done through mo-lecular simulation.

The ultim ate goal is to developa substance that can be usedthroughout the energy sector tofoster greater ef ciency. The mainreason renewable energy sourcessuch as wind or solar power can-not be used for transportation isthe lack of good storage technol-ogy. With more advanced batterycarrying capacities it may be fea-sible to harness naturally occur-ring energy for upscale use, butonly with the help of new materi-als such as ionic liquids.

Whether that may be improv-

ing old cooling and ventilationtechnology, which subsequentlyaccounts for over 20-25% of alltotal energy consumption, orcapturing CO 2 gas emissionsand adding energy to reverse thecombustion chemical reaction,the possibilities for ionic liquidsknows no bounds.

Ionic liquids more ef cientgrees Celsius. Maginns goals arefor projects primarily focused ongenerating a fully predictive mod-el for the properties of a certainmaterial. While based in chemicalscience, Maginn stated his planwas not to focus on basic stateequations or rudimentary infor-matics such as quantitative struc-ture-property relationship analy-sis (QSPR ). Instead, the plan of attack is to come up with an idealionic liquid and examine differ-ent chemical properties through

the use of molecular simulationsand the powerof computerp r o c e s s i n g .One major as-pect of Maginnsresearch wasgoing throughquantum chemi-cal calculationsand utilizingelectro-structuremethods. How-ever, not all of these numericalanalyses can be applied to fullyunderstand ionic liquids.

There are several key advan-tages that ionic liquids possess

over other substances. First,ionic liquids are nonvolatile andare therefore very safe to use inan industrial settings. Second,ionic liquids conduct electricityvery well. The possibilities for thechemical structure of ionic liq-uids range over a million differentcombinations and permutationsto create a single ionic liquid.One of the newest ionic liquids is1-ethyl 3-methylimidazolium di-

cyanamide, which has a meltingpoint of -21 degrees Celsius.

This compound was createdthrough delocalizing the electriccharge and adding asymmetry tothe bond structure to complicatehow the molecules pack together.Maginn noted that, the compu-tations told us how to nd thesolutions. When Maginn and histeam of professors and gradu-ate students developed theseionic liquids, they sent out mul-tiple samples to labs all around

the globe to test the exact samep r o p e r t i e sthey weretesting. Mag-inn said, Thedata mostlylines up, andMaginn wasable to verifyhis conclu-sions aboutthe propertiesof a certainionic solu-tion. One of

the most useful applications of ionic liquids is using them as asolvent to absorb CO 2 in a post-combustion reaction. The chemi-

cal reaction can be reversed andthe gases can be rendered inertby adding energy to the ionicsolution. Maginn explained, Allthermodynamics requires is a sig-ni cant amount of energy. How -ever, through the developmentof new ionic liquids, the parasiticenergy consumption of scrubbingCO 2 emissions can be reduced,making the process more eco-nomically viable.

The large size of the cloudshows that more energy is beingemitted from the central baby starthan normal. According to the re-searchers this may be due to thehigher mass infall rate, or multi-plicity of the central baby star.

Mark Seger: Pyromaniac Professor For a man that needs no in-

troduction, Dr. Mark Seger isperhaps the most well-knownprofessor on campus. Most stu-dents, whether fond of the doc-tor or not, have experienced hisunique teaching style and com-mand a great respect for him.Seger has potentially taught themost students on campus atleast once, attributing to his im-pact on the Mines community asa whole.

Since his early childhood,Seger seemed destined for a ca-

reer in chemistry. Despite his non-destructive tendencies, Segerremarks that he was indeed apyromaniac as a kid. His pen-chant for ames was fueled bycuriosity of the natural world andthe idea that a mixture of chemi-

cals could make gunpowder orcolored ames fascinated Segersyounger self. What truly separat-ed Seger from most youths, how-ever, was his desire to ask thewhy questions. He consideredhimself a born scientist for thatexact reason.

Seger moved on to gettinghis bachelors at the University of California at Riverside where henally decided that he wanted to

be a chemist. He recalled that hemade up his mind during the rstfew weeks of a sophomore coreclass. Seger then furthered hiseducation by getting a doctorateat CSU.

At this point, Seger enteredindustry, a unique experienceamong the other chemistry pro-fessors. He worked at two largecompanies, including Kaiser,where he specialized in NuclearMagnetic Resonance Spectros-

copy (NMR). Here he played theeyes and ears for the otherworkers and, using NMR, Segerwould identify atoms and molec-ular compounds that were beingmade. Seger compared this todetectives work, since there is notruly exact way to go about iden-tifying molecules. One insteadhas to gather information aroundthe identity of the molecule andgure it out from there.

The only thing he loved morethan doing this chemistry, how-ever, is talking about chemistry,as most of his students know.Seger eventually moved into edu-cation, working his way through

local colleges until nally joiningthe Mines family. Although he re marked that he

is not being paid nearly as muchas he used to, Seger said, Whenyou see that light bulb go off overthat students head, that is just a

wonderful experience. The joyhe receives from teaching is quiteapparent. Any student that hastaken his class will say that Segerhas energetic lectures. He makesgrandiose motions with his armsto get a major point across be -fore returning to his chalkboard,ready to continue writing down alecture he has memorized. As hewalks through the room he takesspecial care to make eye contact,giving one the feeling of being ina small study group rather than acrowded lecture hall.

When the chalkboard is notenough, Seger pulls out hisequipment and performs a dem-

onstration or shares a piece of interesting trivia. The active dem-onstrations help convey the ab-stract concepts of chemistry tothe concrete-minded engineeringstudent. Seger believes that thiswill entertain the portion of his

class that has a strong chemistrybackground while still providing achallenge to his students who areless familiar with chemistry. In thisway, all students bene t from at -tending his lectures,as he makesthem think outside the box.

Seger currently has dual citi-zenship in the United States andLiechtenstein, which is hometo most of his family. Having achance to live in the Alps, Segeris only home when he is aroundmountains. During his free time,Seger loves to hike, and, whenweather permits, hit up the moun-tains on his skis.

He is also an avid reader, av-

eraging anywhere between 100and 200 books per year. Segeris an engaging conversationalist,welcoming anyone to share dis-cussions during his of ce hours.

Any time shared with this doctoris time well spent.

The often nonsp ecifi c Inter-national Laws of the Sea some-times clash with the historicaltraditions and the goals andambitions of existing countries.

They clash in ways that resultin regions of water which havemultiple disputed claims of rightsand ownership, particularly incountries around east Asia. AsDr. Yoichiro Sato conveyed, theconflicts of interests and powerin that area of the world are fas-cinating, multi-faceted affairs.

Solving seabed extraction disputes in east Asiaallowed twelve nautical miles of territorial water which is to besplit in the event of an overlap.Coastal states are each allowedan exclusive economic zone of two hundred nautical miles, andcoastal countries are each al-lowed a natural prolongation of up to three hundred fifty miles of extended continental shelf.

Dr. Sato named the JapanSouth Korea Joint DevelopmentZone as one of the disputedareas. The disputes are largelybased on overlapping and con-tradicting history and traditionbetween the two countries andcultures. These disputes create agreat need for compromise and

viable solutions between the twocountries, particularly becausethese disagreements can de-lay productivity and profit for allparties involved. Other disputesarise from military and defenseneeds, particularly the need tobuild up and maintain a subma-rine force.

Dr. Sato then moved on todiscussing the delimitation of territorial sea between states.

The deadl ines for state s andcountries to submit their claimswas in 2009. This caused somecountries to jump start adjust -ing and making their disputedclaims more explicit, causingsome tension. The conflict be-

tween the claims of China andthe Philippines has made it dif-ficult to get pipes or other linesacross the boundaries withoutpermission.

In many areas, Dr. Sato saidthat China seems to be forcingitself into joint ventures with thePhilippines and Vietnam to get ashare of profits it could not getotherwise, often without doingthe work of setting up any of theinfrastructure of the initial ven-ture. The cost of transporting oiland gas is prohibitive to Chinaand hence Dr. Sato said that hebelieves Chinas main goal is tolet others start developmentsthat will produce such fuel and

then jump on the labor to reapsome of the profits. There mayalso be some motivation to makesure that Chinas own legal claimis not undermined by any nearbycountries. Dr. Sato claimed that

join t ventu res in dispu ted waterare normally driven by the needfor capital, a technological gainfrom foreign partners, and theability to alter profit calculations.Other reasons include the de-sire for added protection againstthreats and to strengthen onesown legal claims or underminethose of other entities. Thus, itdoes not seem that the disputesover questionable water territorywill be going away anytime soon.

Students and faculty cametogether on the Saturday morn-ing of Homecoming for the rstannual Oredigger Challenge. Themorning started off a bit chilly, butthe air was thick with anticipa-tion. As soon as the Mines Activ-ity Council blew the whistle, theteams were off.

The rst round c onsisted of s ixchallenges: balancing an egg ona stationary football, followed bya rather messy gummy bear ourexcavation, then putting on afrozen t-shirt, passing a lifesaverwith a straw, trivia, and nally stu -dents and faculty put their engi-neering skills to the test and hadto build a water bottle tower.

One team of professors cameprepared with goggles for thegummy bear and our and blowtorches for melting their frozen t-shirt, some may call that cheat-ing but at Mines we call that goodengineering.

The team known as TheFreight Train chugged its way torst after the rst round, nishing

in 23 minutes. Only the top tenteams could continue on to thesecond round.

Tensions rising, the secondround began with a three part

task: mud, ramen noodles, andice in baby pools had to be re-moved by speci c body parts.Next came the three legged race.Many of the teams were seenpracticing beforehand to makesure they would be coordinatedfor the actual race.

This eve nt decided who wouldmake it to the nal challenge sothe stakes were high. At the endof the second round the Res Lifeteam and The Freight Train werethe champs, and moved onto thenal and deciding challenge, a

simple tug of war.But this was not just any tug

of war; a slick tarp covered inblue and white paint was in themiddle. Upon the start the ResLife team had an extraordinarystart and quickly pulled the once

unstoppable Freight Train into thepaint. Pull by pull the Freight Trainteam members fell into the paint,and within a matter of momentsRes Life won the Oredigger chal-lenge.

There was slight questioni ngthat the wearing of illegal shoes(a.k.a. cleats) may have been in-volved in their win, but becausethe Freight Train team had suchgreat sportsmanship they let itslide and congratulated Res Lifewith paint covered hugs and highves.

Few stellar bodies are as heav-ily featured in society as the Moon.Sure Mars and Venus have had theirday in the sun in science ction, butno one offers to kiss under a full Ve-nus or pull Mars closer for the loveof their life. Beyond being a symbolof love and passion, the Moon hasrepresented its share of human sym-bols. The changing phases havebeen conscripted to represent thecycle of life and death, they havebeen used by farmers for millenni-ums to chart months, and countlesschildrens tales involve dancing on aslightly less than full moon. Human-ity has an obsession with our clos-est celestial neighbor and for goodreason. The tides keep the top fewlayers of the ocean in motion andthe closeness of our natural satellitehas allowed for an easy target for ouredgling space programs.

Beyond the noticeable impactsthat the Moon has had upon culture,the Moon has helped put constraints

on the formation of our planet, andthe presence of heavily cratered ar-eas on its surface allows humanitya glimpse into the stellar pinball ma-chine that the solar system was dur-ing the Late Heavy Bombardment. Itis almost criminal that our planet hassuch an informational neighbor.

Observing the Moon can betough with anything but eyes or bin-oculars. During the non-full phases,dramatic elevation changes can beseen along the terminator, a termfor the line between the light andthe dark of the Moon. Unfortunatelywhen the Moon approaches its full-est, the light can hurt the eyes of anyastronomer that neglected their lunarlter. With the use of a lter, the sur -face of the Moon becomes a verita-ble playground for any astronomer. Itis much more fun to pick out the cra-ters and mountain ranges from upclose than far away. The true stark surface becomes enjoyably appar -ent with the increased resolution.

Some of the best lunar featuresthat should not be missed upon atelescope aided tour are the craters

of the northern hemisphere. Com-pared with the shocking white of thesouthern hemisphere, the gray of themaria units is almost soothing andwith a bit of focus, any astronomerwill be able to see the craters withincraters on the surface. After lookingat the actual craters, the next step isto look through the mountain valleysof the Lunar Apennines. Many of themountains can be seen directly andthe areas between them are oftenshadowed in a stellar fashion. Notour would be complete without vis-iting the Tycho crater to the south of the main craters. Since it is one of themore recent craters, there are trailsof dust that are still visible splayingout for hundred of kilometers in ev-ery direction. With a strong enoughtelescope, the central peak of thecomplex can also be observed.

With some reservations it is smartto admit that despite the Moonsbeauty, the best stargazing nightsare those where the Moon lies on theopposite side of the Earth, it is thosenights that are perfect for looking outinto the depths of space.

Hello dear! my mother repeat-

ed over the phone. I was just call-ing to see how youre doing.Fine, mom, I said louder. I

heard you the rst time.Well, I should hope so! I would

hate to think that youre ignoringme.

Im not ignoring you, mom.Of course not! Of course not.

So, tell me, hows your new apart-ment treating you?

Its alright. Close to the hospi-tal, which is nice. I can walk mostdays.

Oh, thats nice. You know, yourfather and I spent our honeymoonin a hospital. He broke his leg therst day out, trying to jump downfrom a barn roof. Have I told you

about that?Yeah.Oh, your fathers such a care-

less man. Which reminds me- whenare you going to nd a nice man foryourself? Youre doing yourself adisservice, waiting so long.

Not this again.I dont have time for a relation-

ship, mom. Im a nurse. Wevebeen over this.

Nonsense. I was working as aparalegal when I met your father,and kept working up until I hadyou. You have every chance to getout there.

You wanted kids, though. Idont.

Oh, you only say that because

you dont know what its like. Itstruly inexplicable.

Im not going to argue with youon this point. I am going to changethe topic.

Well, you know what I think about it.

So, read anything good lately?Oh, yes, actually. An collection

of alternate histories, speculatingon what would have happened hadthe Indians- oops, excuse me, theNative Americans- colonized Eu-rope, as opposed to the other wayaround. Very i nteresting...

The conversation droned onfor about half an hour. My mominsisted on calling every weekend,whether or not she had anything

substantial to talk about. I hu-mored her, if only because of somesense of sympathy. When I retired,I probably wouldnt have much todo either. My cat appeared halfwaythrough the conversation, and Iscratched him behind the ears.

I worked tomorrow, but couldtechnically be working anytime.Neonatal usually didnt nd itself understaffed, but for the times itdid, the administration made sureto have enough nurses on call.Luckily, this weekend was not onewhere they needed me. I muchpreferred the rest to additional pay.

I ended Sunday night by eatingsome berries on toast (not a jam,but still delicious) and watchingsome sci- show about a travelingblues band with superpowers. Theberries were starting to get old, soI gured I might as well use thembefore I had to throw them out.

Actual cooking was something Irarely had the energy (or appetite)for; I ate out a lot. The show waspretty terrible; just what I needed. Iwent to sleep later than I probablyshould have (midnight), but set myalarm for four. Such is life. At least I

didnt have to work nights. v v vI got up the next morning,

showered, and ate a quick bowl of

cereal before heading over to thehospital. The place was alwaysbusy with countless staff and pa-tients, but the administrators wouldsomehow notice if any employeeswerent there on time. It was un-canny. I made it in a minute ahead,grabbing my uniform and makingmy way to the maternity ward.

Another nurse appeared walk-ing beside me as I made it in - mybest work friend, Laura. She wasmore experienced than I by sev-eral years, but somehow we hadformed an alliance.

Hey, Sara. Weve had twobirths in the past day. Neither hadany major problems, though, sotheyll probably be out pretty soon.

Good. Im not in the mood forany sort of complications.

Are you ever?No.So why are you here, again?

Laura jokingly asked.The salary? We both laughed.

It was nothing special.No, really, I like it well enough

here. Most of the time. Its the timesI dont like that I worry about, Inoted. My mom called again yes-terday.

Yeah?Still pushing me to nd a boy -

friend.You could always lie.No, shed want to meet him.

Anyways, I dont have the time for

that nonsense anyways. I have acat; why would I want another ani-mal to pick up after?

Amen to that, sister. Speakingof that time, I need to go explain tosome students why endotrachealintubation at birth is an unneces-sary risk for meconium coveredbrats.

It is? I feigned sarcasm, butI didnt know much about actualbirth procedure beyond what Ineeded to know. I mostly work thenursery.

Yeah, Laura said, taking meat my word. Turns out routineresuscitation is just as good, anda lot easier. Not that administra-tion plans on changing procedureanytime soon. After that, theresanother woman due. Maybe two,three hours until the big push. So,Ill catch you at lunch, alright?

Yes maam. She waved asshe walked off, and I made my wayup a stairwell to the nursery.

My job title, and training, wasreally that of a neonatal nurse prac-titioner. I had tried explaining thatto my parents on multiple occa-sions, but they still told their friendsI was simply a nurse. Somehow,out of medical school, I had beenshuf ed along into the vibrantworld of intensive neonatal care.I got to avoid the larger so calledwell baby nurseries that way (andthose things are loud), but traded itfor some of the more dif cult cas -es. No complications in the recenttwo births meant no new additionsto the neonatal intensive care unit,which was perfectly ne by me.

I spent the majority of the daylooking after the few resident in-fants still hanging around. Lauradidnt appear at lunch, which likelymeant the labor was going on lon-ger than expected. My suspicionswere con rmed when, at about

Oredigger Fiction ColumnBirthing Complications

three, I got a call over my radio.Sorry, babe. We have one

with GBS. Sending him up to yourteam.

GBS, the acronym for Group BStreptococcus, was Lauras wayof telling me that my day had justturned from normal to rough. Weshould have caught the bacteriain screenings, but sometimes, veryrarely, we missed it. For newborns,it was a serious infection to have, if not uncommon. I started preparingsome treatments for pneumonia,which was likely, while the othertwo in the room (a social workerand a physician, at the moment)did their thing. The social workersaid something about antibiot-ics, and the physician waved himaway, citing that we needed to seeour patient rst. I sided with thephysician on this one- it might be

too late for antibiotics. Though, if that was the case, it might be toolate for any treatment whatsoever.

There were some types of antibiot-ics in the room if we needed them.

The newborn never made it toour room. I got the message fromLaura, again over the radio. Thebaby had died in the hallway, andcouldnt be brought back. Thingslike this wore on a person, evenif there was nothing one could doabout them. Some people didntwant kids because of the time andwork they would take, or they re-sponsibility they entailed. When Iwas asked for a reason, I usuallygave one of those, but my real rea-son was fear. Id seen too many in-

fants die to want to risk having oneof my own, only to have it takenaway.

v v v The rest of the day wasnt com-

plicated. I went home at seven,showering and going straight tobed. Before falling asleep, I didsome light reading. One cannothelp to change society if one con-forms to society, even if readingbooks is only a mild form of rebel-lion. Nobody at work really readsthem, except when looking up acondition in a textbook or referencemanual. I found it surprising whenI made it to steady employment,but learned quickly that it was apart of the hospitals culture. Everyhospital has a different culture, adifferent amount of seriousness, adifferent amount of expertise, a dif-ferent breed of medic. I ended upat a dull one.

I turned off the light at aroundten oclock, hoping to shut my eyesand be asleep in minutes. It swamin like the tide, slowly and surely,until it drained away at a sound.My curiosity got the better of me,and I opened my eyes. The redLCD clock displayed 1:07. Glaringlight in the darkness. It, in isolation,was the only object in existence.I didnt move for a moment, earsperked up, closing my eyes again,hoping to hear the sound again.Sometimes you think you hearsomething and it wakes you up,

just to nd that it was imagined allalong. This was one of those times,it seemed. I relaxed. What had thesound been? Almost like tiny foot-steps, running.

Then I opened my eyes again,and my cat (I call him Cat, out of laziness) was there, eyes glow-ing along with the clock. Of all thetimes to be awake.

Was that you, Cat? Stop fool-

ing around, mom needs somesleep.

Cat sat there for a momentbefore jumping up onto the bed,

stepping on and over me to get tothe other side (where I could onlysuppose the grass was greener)in the most uncomfortable way. Ishuf ed him off me, and he curledup there to stay.

Your beds not good enoughfor you, I suppose. Well, ne, wakeme up for no reason. Stupid cat.

I fell back asleep as quickly as Icould with a furry lump on the bed.

Anyone who has faced this par-ticular problem knows the dif cultywith it. You cant move, or else thecat will wake up and repeat its ma-neuvers, or leave. Either is a reasonto feel guilty, so you are trying tosleep, while tense from not moving,and feeling a weight on or around

you. Somehow I managed it thisnight.

And dreamed. The dream be-gan where I had left off in real life,in bed. Cat was gone though, andthe clock read something in lettersI dont remember. If I hadnt beendreaming, I should have recog-nized it was a dream immediately.It was cold, very very cold. I pulledmy covers closer around me, butit seemed like the cold was justignoring my blankets, as if it camefrom everywhere. I was shivering.I looked at the clock curiously, toread it, but still had trouble deci-phering it. Then...

A slam on the window. My win-dow lies out in front of my bed,

such that I can look through itwhen I wake up. It was hard to seeanything out there now, in the dark-ness (which, as dream-darkness,had even more obscurity), but Icould make out a silhouette fromthe light of a street lamp. A hand,which had slammed palm out-stretched on the glass. It slowly sliddown the surface, leaving somekind of stain behind. The handwas small. Very small. I knew thenwhat it was. It was the baby. Theone that had died. The one I didntsave. It didnt matter that I hadnthad the chance. We should havefound the GBS. We should haveknown. No, no, no, no...

And again, a slam on the win-dow. The hand reached back up,as if it were knocking. As if it want-ed to get in. I pulled my covers upto my eyes, and at one last glance,over them. I could just ignore it,and it would go away, right? Itwasnt getting in. It was just a baby.Babies cant open windows. Theycant even move themselves yet.Babies are dumb. I was safe.

But the blankets couldnt muf ethe sound. The cold and the slam-ming persisted. I huddled underit still, before looking out from thesheets again. Still the hand pressedagainst the window. What was onit? Blood? Excrement? KnowingGBS, it was probably both. Oh no.Oh no. No, no, no, no, no...

v v v Thankfully I woke up, and

thankfully it had just been a dream.It was still dark (weekdays, when Iworked, involved getting up earlierthan the sun did), but my alarmmade sure to remind me that Ihad to be up and about. Anotherwonderful day. I should have been,which is to say, should be restedright now. To stay in the past tensethough (for future memoirs), Ill say

that I was rather than am tired.I headed into work like a zom-

bie, but managed to catch Lauraon her way in before she caught

me (it is usually she who ambushesme).

Hey, you doing alright? Iasked.

Alright.Yesterday cant have been an

easy one. I mean, I feel terribleabout it, and I wasnt even reallythere. Laura stopped and turned.

It was terrible. Telling that newmother that she wasnt really amother after all. And after all thattoo- the labor took much too long.But, it happens.

Yeah. I hope the family is doingall right.

I think so. The social workersdid most of the talking. Im startingto see why we have them.

Well, dont beat yourself up toomuch over it.

Ill try not to. It was just... youknow.

Do you think its the kind of thing you can get nightmaresfrom?

Um... maybe.I mean, I didnt sleep that eas-

ily. I dont know about you.You somewhat sound like

youre doing that thing.What thing?You know, the thing?That thing...That thing where you ask peo-

ple questions only because youwant the questions asked of you.

Well...ok. Guilty. I had one.

A nightmare?Yes, a nightmare. What else?You did look little pale coming

in, Laura said, concerned. Shequickly put a hand to my forehead.

Hmm. Cant really tell, but youmight be sick.

Wait, I tell you I had a night-mare and the rst thing you do isthink that Im sick.

The paleness concerned memore. What did you have for break-fast?

I skipped it, wasnt thinking.Laura threw her hands down.

Honey! Come on, lets get youa yogurt in the dining hall. Youcant start a twelve hour workdayon nothing. I followed her, and gota yogurt as ordered. Started feelinga little better.

I could talk to Roth, you know.See if you could take the day off.

No, I cant, I said betweenspoonfuls. Rents due on Friday,and I need to work this whole week to have enough for it and my dadsbirthday.

Well, I think you should getsome rest, but if youre resolved towork yourself to death, I suppose Icant stop you. Hopefully you dontget any kids sick. Consider vaca-tioning.

Really, Im ne. Im just terri edof another baby dying.

Youd be surprised how manypeople get into this eld with noidea what theyre getting into,Laura cautioned. Many considerthemselves thick-skinned, but faintat the rst sight of blood. Youretougher than them, of course, butnobodys immune to the stresses;besides, you see more deathsthan most people see in their entirelives.

Geek Week...Krista Horn, Sophomore: Computer Science

ofthe

Karen Gilsdorf Staff Writer

Looking around campus, it maybe said that this school is full of geeks. However, it is surprising thevariety of geeks on this campus,and the variety of organizationsthey are involved in. Krista Hornis certainly no exception. With hertoes in band, a sorority, and severalother clubs, she is an example of ageek that not only loves her school,but is also committed to making ita better place by her presence. Inthe midst of all of this, The Ore-digger found a couple minutes tochat with her about the role sheplays on campus.

[Oredigger]: Why ComputerScience?

[Horn]: Oh goodness, this ishow the story goes: I had to takea required computer class in highschool and it just clicked! It was alot of fun because I could controlthe computer, instead of the com-puter controlling me.

What is your favorite classand why?

Data structures! It is a codingclass that makes me think on adeeper level.

Why do you consider your-self a geek?

Because I get so fascinated

with little things. For example, theother day in Discrete Math I was

really excited that someone waskilled because they proved that thesquare root of two was irrational!Not that I like people being killedit was just interesting that peoplewere so distraught over the factthey proved a simple mathematicalphenomenon .

Whats your favorite thingabout Mines?

The small atmosphere and be-ing able to walk across campusand see people you know. Also, Ilove being able to laugh at all of thelittle campus jokes like when theletters on the Student RecreationCenter were knocked down toread Stud Creation Center.

What are some extracurricu-

lar activities you are involvedin?

Im involved in drum line, whodoes it best, Club volleyball whereballers ball, Greek life a.k.a. notfor the weak life, Facebook stalk-ing, but Im also a radio showhost. Listen in every Sunday night8-9pm!

Who is your favorite superhero?

Batman because hes not wear-ing hockey pants like the rest of them.

What is some advice for fu-

ture Mines geeks?Make the time to do something

fun, its always out there, especiallyhere!

What do you do in your sparetime?

Make awkward moments.What is your favorite quote?With all its sham, drudgery and

broken dreams, it is still a beauti-ful world. Be cheerful. Strive to behappy. Max Erhmann

Can a sorority girl still be ageek?

De nitely. If you dig down deepenough anyone can nd his or herinner geek.

If you had to choose be-tween being an elephant and ahippo, what would you be?

E=mc 2. De nitely.

How would you tell someone youre into them, using C++?

/* I love you */ What has been your favorite

experience at Mines?Meeting all sorts of different

people. Or maybe E-Days. Thatswhen all the geeks came out of their rooms and showed the worldwhat they are capable ofkind of.It was awesome!

Pancakes or waf es?

Using my scienti c extrapola -tion of the density properties of each, crepes.

What is your Geek Confes-sion?

I go to concerts alone. I like mu-sic, no one else does. And I get tomeet new cool people and be theirfriend.

What does the fox say?RING DING DING [proceeds to

sing it all].

What is a hidden talent?I cant sing. Or dance.

Cats or dogs?Dogs! Cats are just too grumpy.

Think about it, if you left your catand your dog in the back of a carall day, who would be happy to seeyou when you got back? Problemsolved. Dogs are better.

There is no way to start a re-view of Gravity without pointingout that it is more than amazing.

The movie is not only worth theinsanely high cost of movies thesedays, but it will also be worth get-ting the Blu-ray versionwhen it hits the shelves. If there is any one reason whyanyone should see the lm,that reason can be singledout to a marriage betweenstyles; Gravity exists atthe corner of blockbuster-style captivating effects and

independent-style plot andprecision.Gravity amounts to

a space thriller at its core.It is not exactly sci- sincethe technology and loca-tions, for the most part,currently exist. A great dealof research was done tomake the lm authentic andgritty; there are no magicalmystery boxes that solveproblems, only GeorgeClooneys wit and SandraBullocks fervent despera-tion.

The crowning achieve-ment of the lm lies in thevisual and sound effects.

Unlike a majority of spacelms, there are no deafen -ing explosions. Everythingis heard is from the per-spective of Sandra Bull-ocks character Ryan Stone. Fromthe introductory interplay betweenHouston and the Space Shuttleto the very end, the only methodby which audible tension is intro-duced is through the riveting score.If it were not for the music, all that


Gravity defying expectationswould be heard would be gasps forair and sounds transmitted throughtouch. For example, when an elec-tric wrench is used, rather than theshrill whine of machinery that wouldbe expected, a low pitched groan-ing sound is all that is heard.

Beyond the sounds of the lm,the visuals are dramatic and cap-

tivating. While pure mayhem anddestruction is happening in theforeground, the Earth oats tran -quil beyond the grasp of our he-roes. Fear inducing scraps of metalmay be whipping by, but look,there is the Nile Delta at sunrise.

The juxtaposition of the horrors of the movie oating several hundredkilometers away from the Earthhammers home the idea that hu-mans are lucky for what is at home.

The sound and visual effects alonemake the whole movie worth it.

In terms of the plot, the moviegrabs hold of the audience and

does not let go until thecredits roll. There are a fairshare of obvious momentsin the course of the lm. A solution is rarely reachedon rst try, and the wholechain of events goes froma believable premise to aremarkably unlikely out-

come, but therein lies part of Gravitys magic. The mov-ie ramps up in such a waythat it is hard not to becomeinvested in the fates of thecharacters. One of the othersublime joys of the movie isthat little comes as a shock;the movie is paced in such away that it is evident what iscoming.

There are a few nalnotes to heed when goingto see Gravity. Unlike mostmovies with a 3D option, thethird dimension is not a gim-mick; it is purely necessary.

The lm is also, for themost part, scientist ap-

proved. Director AlfonsoCuarn doesnt have tobend the laws of phys-ics much to get his visionacross. Finally, beyond ef-

fects, the cinematography is purelystellar. Whether the fragility of hu-manity is being highlighted by analmost womb-like scene or the In-ternational Space Station is beingripped to shreds by a debris cloud,the lm is captivating.

The crowning achievement of Gravity,beyond the outstanding graphics, is the

visual and sound effects it boasts.

At Mines and in science,technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) in general,men greatly outnumber women.

Though, according to US News,only 18 percent of engineering un-dergraduates in the United Statesare women, nearly every womanin the U.S. is literate. Compared to

Afghanistans 12.6 percent femaleliteracy rate, the severity of theSTEM gender gap becomes farless signi cant.

Were in a place where its re-markable for a girl to be educatedin engineering, but we need to re-member there are places where itsremarkable for a girl to be educat-ed, period, Claire Mahoney said, afreshman who viewed the lm GirlRising.

Right now, according to UNES-CO, 66 million girls are out of school globally. Furthermore, thereare 33 million fewer girls than boysin primary school globally accord-ing to Education First. Girls simplyface more barriers to receiving aneducation than boys do.

Jacob EmmelStaff Writer

Girl Rising promotes education of womenbrought the lm to Mines on Oc -tober 2.

The lm follows nine girls fromHaiti, Nepal, Egypt, Ethiopia, India,Peru, Sierra Leone, and Afghani-stan who grapple with unimagi-nable odds in order to achieve theirdreams of education.

Suma, a teenager from Nepal,suffered through years of bond-age beginning at age six, enduredunending abuse, and received noeducation during her years of ser-vitude.

Wadley, a seven year old fromHaiti, lost everything except hermother in the earthquakes thatstruck Haiti in 2010. She wasturned away from school after thedisaster because her mom wasunable to pay the fee. Wadley per-severed, telling the schoolteacher,If you send me away, I will comeback every day until I can stay. Youcannot stop me.

Yasmin, a 13 year old fromEgypt, was raped as a child, but re-fused to think of herself as a victim.Her rapist is still free, Yasmin hasnever been to school, and, barely ateenager, Yasmin is engaged.

Though the girls live a worldaway from each other, they share adesire to learna desire to betterthemselves and escape the stereo-types that pervade in their regions.However, educating women is nota priority in many developing coun-tries. Many girls are sold as childbrides. In fact, 14 million girls under

18 will be married this year. Othergirls, an estimated of 150 million ayear, are victims of sexual violence.

Kim Burnett from the ShadhikaFoundation, an organization devot-ed to combating gender inequalityin India, believes in the power of educating women and the need torede ne social stereotypes. Bur -nett spoke before the lm as partof a panel on the need for womenseducation.

Burnett said, the expectationis that girls should not work. Girlsare there to serve the husbandsfamily. Frankly, as girls have got-

ten more education, that has beenchallenging that system. In someways, the progress were makingin girls education means we haveto help the boys catch up and be-gin to change how they perceivewomen.

Research has shown the powerof educating women. Accordingto CIA World Factbook, if Indiaenrolled one percent more girlsin secondary school, their GDPwould rise by $5.5 billion. A girlwith an extra year of education canearn 20 percent more as an adultaccording to the World Bank, and

girls with eight years of educationare four times less likely to be mar-ried as children according to theNational Academies Press.

If you care about eradicatingpoverty, about eliminating hungeror HIV Aids, about addressingour overpopulation on the planet,about promoting democracy, andcombating extremis, the key to allof those things is making sure a girlhas an education, Burnett said.

Another showing of Girl Risingis scheduled for Thursday Oct. 10in Ballroom A of the Student Cen-ter.

Girl Rising emphasizes the importance of education for women in developing countries.

By the time most studentsgraduate Mines, they will have jobs.

Alumni will mostly have decentstarting salaries and lead comfort-able lifestyles. In a few years theremight be a promotion, a wife, a nicenew house, and a family. But whatabout those who want more than

just a mundane existence? Whatabout those who want not just apromotion but to own a company?Or maybe go out with the girl theywere too nerdy for in high school?Own a mansion with so many bed-rooms that itlooks more likehotel? That ishow the otherhalf lives. Theylive like theyhave noth-ing to lose butthe world togain. That iswhat the showMad Men isall about. Howdoes the otherhalf live? Orrather, how didthey live?

The showis set in the1960s whenhigh power ex-ecutives work-ing on Madison Avenue, NY, werereferred to as Mad Men. The showfollows Donald Draper, played byactor Jon Hamm, and his lifestyle.

There are two components to DonDrapers complicated life: his work and his personal life. His work takes priority above all though, ashe is the Senior Creative Director of an advertising rm called SterlingCooper. Throughout the show, it isshown that clients value his work because of its superiority. Those

Matt Damon stars in the new sci- action lm Elysium. This sci- of -fers a handful of unexpected themesand social statements that can bemissed from the marketed presen-tation of trailers.

In the year 2154, human be-ings are separated into two socialclasses. The very rich have left theslums of an overpopulated Earth.Los Angeles is enveloped in pov-erty, oppression, and plummetingstandards of living. Robots andimpersonal interactions plague thestreets and exacerbate the pitiableconditions. The wealthy inhabitantsof Earth abandoned the planet, andconstructed a massive space sta-tion utopia known as Elysium.

There is more than just wealthand the Earths atmosphere sepa-rating the two classes; a languagebarrier provides commentary into to-days current immigration issue. Theprimary language on Earth, from theperspective provided in the lm, isSpanish. On Elysium, the inhabitantsspeak the more civilized Frenchlanguage, and are always seen tobe relaxing by the pools and greenlawns of their lavish homes.

The protagonist of Elysium,Max, attempts to escape his sor-did past. He grew up as an orphan,but has recently managed to keepa steady job and avoid his life of crime. When he faces an accidentthat leaves him with ve days to live,desperation forces him to rely on hisformer lifestyle in order to reach Ely-sium to receive medical treatment toallow him to keep living.

evant backstory to immigrants andthe problems they face, as well asinsight into their hopes and dreams.Without downplaying the efforts of modern immigrants, the attemptsand backstories of the charactersare at times hollow and try too hardto play at the heartstrings of the au-dience.

Overall, the movie is effective inbringing the viewer to contemplatehis or her way of life, and the oppor-tunities that have or have not beenprovided. Even better, the movie islaced with fast-paced action andsome aggressive explosions.

Birthing Complications

It might just be that Im not suit-ed for this work.

Well, it might be somewhathasty to come to that conclusion.Considering youve pushed throughmedical school for this very thing,even more so. At the very least con-sider seeing a counselor about this.

The hospital has people on staff forthis very reason.

Ill think about it. Thanks, Laura. Youre a good friend.

Okay. Im heading in to theward. Take your time.

I took maybe ve minutes, thenheaded up myself. The day waswithout incident. I frantically checkedand rechecked everything for thethree infants in the ICU, all of thempremature births. I may have beenovercautious, but I wasnt about to

let any of them slip on my watch. v v vI went home to nd Cat at the

door, scratching at it. When I openedthe door, the sound of tearing woodbers stopped, but the scratchesleft on the doors interior did not.Cat looked up at me innocently. Stu-pid cat. When I stepped inside Catmade to dash out into the hallway.

I, with some kind of ninja re exes,picked him up before he could getaway.

Youre staying in here, bub.Cat was wriggling and writhing

uselessly in my arms, and I closedthe door behind me. The power wasout, as I found out trying to ip theswitch. Great, no light for reading orelectricity for tv. I might be able toread if my eyes got used to the light.I really should have known by thelack of hall lighting, but that doesntalways mean loss of power.

It was late already, so I just wentstraight to bed, after brushing myteeth. Cat had taken to scratch-ing again, but when I lay down, herealized there was something evenmore annoying he could be doingand jumped up onto the bed, snug-gling in tightly. That should be all fortonight, setting this on the night-stand.

Then, scratching again. Cat ishere. Cat is not at the door. I freezefor a moment, but my curiosity getsthe better of me. I pass by the bed-room door, head for the front hallwaydoor. Its locked, if a bit scratchedup on this side, but the scratchingis coming from outside. Why am Ieven carrying this right now? Writingis the last thing I should be doing.

Oh no. The scratching just doubled.I just looked back at the last fewentries, and last nights nightmarecame ooding back. Its happeningagain. Oh no, no, no, no. While I was

looking, four sets of hands are nowscratching. More even. Im back-ing up to my room, and what hap-pens? Theres a hole in my door. A splintered growing hole; I cant helpbut be reminded of The Shining. A rudimentary cat ap, dog door. Onlythese arent pets.

Theyre babies.What seems like hundreds of

them, swarming through the hole inthe door, crawling over one another,crying and gurgling, coming towardsme. No, no, no, no, no, no. Retreatto my room, close that door and lock it. Its only a matter of time though.Ive got to go. Im getting out of here,to the window, screw this journal.

Shakespeares best

It stands to reason that if an

album is deemed to be good inone decade, that it can moveup to excellent if it makes it tothe next and retains its originalcharacter. Give Up by the de-pressingly short-lived indie elec-tronica group The Postal Serviceis up for a decade review afterit hit its tenthbirthday thispast summer.In a time be-fore dubstep,the albumwas charm-ing and quirky,it played withthe listener likea puppy just

learning to playcatch. Everysong it broughtup was newand originaland slightly dif-ferent from thelast. While itmay not havebeen exactlym a i n s t r e a m ,the albumwas perfect in2003. So thequestion is,does the al-bum hold upin the decid-edly more pen-

sive and pes-simistic era of 2013? Upon re-listen, each songis still factory fresh.

A good start is to list en tothe whole album track by track.While there is no true order, thealbum follows a logical progres-sion through love and loss andback to love again. There areparts of the album that are won-derful and contemplative and


Give Up: a decade in reviewthere are light and airy songs thatcarry as much weight as cottoncandy. For those with less timethan needed, a good start is with

Such Great Heights. While it isprobably the only song on the al-bum to have garnered much at-tention, a lot of time has passedsince it was on the airwaves andit is both a fantastically clichlove song and empowering atthe same time. Nothing Better

serves as a blast of cold waterafter the chipper lovey-dovey be-ginning, it exists in that strangesubset of songs that can be la-beled as upbeat break up songs.Clark Gable represents themost upbeat attitude of the al-bum and is still worthy of beinga secret favorite.

Instead of finishing off the

album, it is worth exploring theother tracks that have been re-leased since the album cameout. Both Turn Around and A

Tattered Line of String repre-sent the newer aspects of ThePostal Service, and in all hones-ty, unless someone is going forsome discography completionistachievement, they should be ig-nored. Both fall flat compared tothe earlier releases. Much better

are Be Still MyHeart and thecover of theFlaming Lipssong Sudden-ly EverythingHas Changed.

The former isarguably thebest track ThePostal Service

released. It isstupidly ro-mantic in thesort of waythat no matterhow much stuff is going on, itbrings back the emotion of falling in love,which is thebest feeling inthe world asidefrom finding anendless trail of perfect cook-ies.

So back tothe question,

has the albumretained itscharm over the past decade?Conclusively the answer shouldbe yes. The second question of whether or not the 10th Anni-versary edition is worth it is an-swered by saying no. For a col-lector it is necessary, but for theaverage listener, there are a hostof new LPs that cater to the needfor good music.

Secret side of Mines

Often considered one of the mostprevalent love stories of all time, Wil-liam Shakespeares epic tragedy,Romeo and Juliet resurfaces in anew movie release set for theatersOctober 11. The screenplay for this

movie was written by Sir Julian Fel-lowes, creator of the famous PBSseries Downton Abbey, and will ap -peal to viewers in their late teensthrough early twenties.

Romeo and Juliet is argu-ably Shakespeares best work. It isde nitely the most read and recog -nized in popular culture. The tragicromance tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers who die under dra-matic circumstances and in doingso, mend the feud between theirfamilies. It is a timeless piece thatcontinues to be loved by scholarsand casual readers alike.

Romeo and Juliet is requiredreading in most high school curricu-lums; however, it is a play that canbe revisited over and over through-out life. Shakespeare possessed aunique gift of writing incredibly com-monplace phrases and thoughts insuch a way as to emphasize a hid-den or deeper meaning. The dictionof Elizabethan England may appearuncomfortable to modern readers,but once understood, the prose is

beautiful.In his plays, Shakespeare uses

blank verse, a type of iambic pen-tameter that does not rhyme. Thereis a regular line length and syllablecount in each verse. This regular-ity can enhance the reading experi -ence, turning each line into an ex -pressive dance of words.

The main theme in Romeo andJuliet is love. A fervent, life-alteringlove that can only be experiencedonce in a lifetime, is discovered byRomeo and Juliet. Throughout thecourse of a few days, they declaretheir secret love for each other andmake plans to elope. Unfortunatelyfor these young lovers, events donot unfold as they planned and theirlives end before they can run awaytogether.

This play encompasses lots of emotions such as excitement, un -certainty, comedy, anticipation, er-ratic anxiety, love, fear, happiness,and betrayal. It is clearly a tumult of feelings structured in ve short acts.

Especially at Colorado School of Mines, it is easy to dismiss literatureas an unimportant facet in our dailylives. After all, many students heredislike the humanities very much,or at least struggled with them inhigh school. Nevertheless, studentsshould not disregard literature alto-gether. This movie is a great placeto start and will blow everyone away.

Every individual who goes toMines requires their own speci c

requirements for living comfortably.Some students can make do withminimal possessions, while othersneed to transport their entire livesfrom home to Golden. Even differ-ent faculty members prefer diver-gent tools for teaching, whether thatis using the electronic smart boardcoupled with an LCD projector or

just doing it the old-fashioned waywith chalk on a board. The bottomline is each person needs and wantsa unique combination of distinc-tive facets to live happily at Mines.

Amidst all the chaos and asperity of such a dif cult engineering schoollike CSM, getting the minor detailsright will ultimately lead to success.

The people who come to Mines

hail from all different walks of life andoriginate from vastly different cul-tures. A chemical engineer living inone room may come from Alaska,while the petroleum engineer rightdown the hall could come from theopposite side of the United Stateson the East Coast. Because eachperson is different, every memberof the Mines community will havetheir own set of demands. Somestudents or faculty also might havespecial needs, be it in the classroomor out. It is fairly easy to forget howvital ful lling basic needs are wheneveryone is caught up in the middleof the school year. There are peoplewho would at out suffer without acertain amenity they crave. Maybe

there is a student who cannot wakeup in the morning without a nice, hotcup of coffee, or maybe there is ateacher who cannot live without ex -ercising at the gym.

Perhaps the most demanding of lifestyles is of those who must takecare of more than themselves, inraising a child. What does Mines doto provide for those people? Whatcould possibly lie in the undiscov-ered parts of campus that can help

these people, and nally what awe -some luxuries does CSM have thatmost people are not aware of?

As it turns out, tucked deep with-in the long, sharp-turning halls of the

student center at the very heart of campus lies the Mothers Room. The Mothers Room is essentiallythe Isla de Muerta, the forbidden

Aztec cursed island from Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. It can only be found by thosewho know where it is hidden. (TheMothers Room is located upstairs inthe Student Center near BallroomsD and E.)

When the location of the Moth-ers Room was discovered by TheOredigger, mystery and curiositysparked. Upon investigation, suspi-cion was proven to be 100% cor-rect as when Jenn Mazzotta, Direc -tor of Student Activities, was askedto comment on the purpose of this

highly secluded room she detailed,the room literally has just an outletand a rocking chair. While locked,those with child in need of a privateplace to nurse are freely allowed in.

It seems as if there are lots of cool places hiding within the Stu-dent Center, as Mrs. Mazzottasof ce itself hides quietly behind theBlastercard Of ce. Student Activityof ces and niche purpose roomssuch as the Mothers Room arenot the only cool places available atMines. For those looking for a moregeneral purpose place, taking a leftafter entering the student centerand going past the sh tank is theiclub. While not some marketingscheme by Apple to transform part

of the Mines campus into prime realestate, the iClub was once the oldstudent dining center that magicallytransformed into a modest house-hold of schoolwork lled wall to wallwith tables, chairs, sofas, and mostimportant above all else free-to-usewhiteboards.

The Colorado School of Mineshas many attributes to discover, andtwo of those are as simple as placesto retreat to.

It is like stepping into heavensfast food restaurant. Modmarkethas a modern design and a freshfeel that makes any foodie feel athome. The menu is diverse and

lled with healthy options. Mod -market is a Colorado owned busi -ness that was started by two guysthat were tired of the typical un -healthy and highly processed fastfoods. So instead of complainingabout it, Anthony Pigliacampo andRob McColgan started their ownrestaurant centered around theirwants.

It is easy to see that the busi -ness is very detail-oriented, fromthe overall fresh ambiance to theBoylan Soda fountain machine.Boylan Sodas have retro avorssuch as cream and grape sodaand are made with real canesugar, they are the perfect compli -ment to a tasty modmarket dinner.

But those looking for something a

little more grown-up can choosefrom mod markets wine or beerlist.

The at mosphere in the restau-rant can be a little pretentious,looking past that, it is happy andbright and great place to dine.Other than Starbucks, many din -

ing places do not present goodstudy locations, but Modmarketcould potentially become a newMines student study or meetingspot. They have large tables andmost people get orders to-go (ex-cept for Sunday brunch.)

The only complaint for Mod -market would be they do notknow all their food allergies. Theyoffer almost everything gluten freebut when it comes to lactose in -tolerant they are not as generous.Most meal options have cheeseon them. That being said the serv -ers are very friendly and happyto customize the order since it ismade right there on the spot. Afterordering at the counter the wait is

about ve minutes. The time goes

Modmarkets fresh fast foodfast though because the Modmar -ket kitchen is entirely in the open.Customers can watch their mealsbeing made and see exactly whatthe cooks are doing, which adds alevel of security and comfort to themeal. After waiting the customer isnoti ed and they must go to an -

other counter to pick up the foodserved on real plates with real sil -verware.

Whole wheat crust pizzas witha variety of fresh cheese, meat,and vegetable toppings adornthe menu. They are presented inthe perfect serving size for dinnerand a follow-up snack, wonderfulfor Mines students busy study -ing on weeknights. Modmarketalso whips up avorful and crispsalads, garnished with seasonalfruits, nuts, and tangy dressings.

They also have fabulous des -serts such as peanut butter crunchbars, cookie bites, and brownies.

There is absolutely no bett er wayto conclude a healthy meal than
