If you thought Germans were weird and slightly disturbing, think again.

When members of the Farmland Ladies Bridge Club announced a bold plan to save the historic Randolph County Courthouse from demolition several years ago they created a media sensation – and inspired legislation to protect all Indiana courthouses which was unanimously passed today by the Indiana Senate.

Senate Bill 176, authored by Sen. James Merritt Jr., (R-Indianapolis), would create a 3-member commission which would investigate the need for preservation, restoration and maintenance of historic courthouses as well as assist county officials with such projects. According to Crandall Spencer (right), the ladies’ fundraising project – a calendar in which they posed nude with strategically placed replicas of the courthouse – led him to author SB 176. * * *

“In recent years, we have seen an increase in interest to tear down courthouses across Indiana,” said Wayne Goodman (left), One of the Three Newly Appointed Commissioners “This will be a great service for local government.”

According to Bridget Flan (middle), the commission will ensure county officials are adequately prepared for renovation and preservation projects before final plans are developed and work begins. “Renovations to the Fayette County Courthouse in Connersville were underway when some long-forgotten murals were discovered. We have been working with local government to raise funds to preserve them. It would have been nice to know they were there before work began,” he said.

The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration.

The Thornberg & Forester gladiators commenced their training camp for the season. Fueled by adrenaline and Pocari Sweat, the team at first reluctant to battle, currently prepares their armor for one of the most fierce competitions yet. Despite fears of a U.S. recession, Mr. Thornberg spared no expense when it came to purchasing custom weaponry carved of the finest materials.

A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure formed by conducting material, or by a mesh of such material. Such an enclosure blocks out external static electrical fields. Faraday cages are named after physicist Michael Faraday, who built one in 1836. An external static electrical field will cause the electrical charges within the conducting material to redistribute themselves so as to cancel the field’s effects in the cage’s interior. This effect is used, for example, to protect electronic equipment from lightning strikes and other electrostatic discharges. To a large degree, Faraday cages also shield the interior from external electromagnetic radiation if the conductor is thick enough and any holes are significantly smaller than the radiation’s wavelength. For example, certain test procedures of electronic components or systems that require an environment devoid of electromagnetic interference may be conducted within a so-called screen room. These screen rooms are essentially labs or work areas that are completely enclosed by one or more layers of fine metal mesh or perforated sheet metal. The metal layers are connected to earth ground to dissipate any electric currents generated from the external electromagnetic fields, and thus block a large amount of the electromagnetic interference. This application of Faraday cages is explained under electromagnetic shielding.

A distinguished colleague of mine recently sent certain documents which I would like to share with the world. I canceled my tee time and choked on my fine Cuban cigar (not really Cuban, a fine Nicaraguan blend) after watching this.
