Colloquy (September)

September 29, 2025

Open agenda; Not Too Organized. Whatever anyone wants to talk about. We do meet once a month like this. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

Evensong “Last Rose of Summer”

We are moving across the street! Details forthcoming

Join us for lunch 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM every Third Wednesday

~~University of Michigan Business School Executive Dining Room~~ (Under construction until 2026) | University of Michigan Golf Course Dining Room

If we were running that upgrade of the dining facility at the business school — instead of Sodexo — we would complete it in six months. Alas, by some strange bureaucratic configuration, the project is taking 24 months. Until then we meet at the Golf Course on the South Athletic Campus where, admittedly, parking is easier.

Did you know that for more than 50 years, NIST called D.C. home? Due to the city’s rapid growth and the resulting noise and disturbances, NIST moved to rural Maryland. The area helped the campus to grow, and scientists could make their sensitive measurements without interference. pic.twitter.com/Yr15JKh3Ch

THE COLLEGE CRISIS

A massive number of colleges and universities have shut down within the last couple of years, or will shut down in the next few.

Many of these colleges have cited financial hardship or enrollment decline as reasons for closure. But what’s really going on? 🧵 pic.twitter.com/MoF1Iiejzd

Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent

September 29, 2025

mike@standardsmichigan.com

No Comments

Department of Justice | June 24, 2004

The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague.

In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior.

The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations, handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets.

The dangers spelled out in Three Felonies a Day do not apply solely to “white collar criminals,” state and local politicians, and professionals. No social class or profession is safe from this troubling form of social control by the executive branch, and nothing less than the integrity of our constitutional democracy hangs in the balance.

Standards for a Kitchen Symphony | November/December 2024

ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) is a globally recognized organization that develops and publishes technical standards for a wide range of products, systems, and services. These standards are used by manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders to ensure that products and services are safe, reliable, and of high quality.

In the field of measurement science, ASTM plays an important role in developing standards and guidelines for measurement techniques and practices. These standards cover a wide range of topics related to measurement science, including the calibration of instruments, the characterization of measurement systems, and the validation of measurement results. They are used by researchers, engineers, and other professionals in academia, industry, and government to ensure that measurements are accurate, precise, and reliable.

ANSI Public Review

ASTM standards for measurement science are developed through a process that involves input from experts in the field, including researchers, industry professionals, and regulatory bodies. These standards are updated regularly to reflect advances in measurement science and technology, as well as changes in industry and regulatory requirements. This is a far better way to discover and promulgate leading practice. In fact, there are regulations intended to restrain the outsized influence of vertical incumbents in legislative precincts where market-making happens.

We continue sorting through anomalies with Godaddy Tech Support to resolve Standards Michigan requirement for frequent and timely updates across all of our platforms. We got half the problem solved last month when we upgraded to WordPress 6.8.1 but updating was slow on mobile devices. Our normal course of business will not be interrupted as far as our daily colloquia is concerned but we cannot predict the outcome on the images which are an essential part of our work.

Posts are not updating across all platforms — particularly on X on iPhones. Usually a caching problem and not one we haven’t seen before.
Some images will not center.
Footer and right-side widgets not loading properly.

The good news is that all our content, including media, survived the WordPress upgrade. The next step in our “GoDaddy Journey” will be to edit our widgets to reflect our new business address; still proximate to the University of Michigan South Athletic Campus — across the street from our former office with an Olive Garden very nearby.

Always surprises but none that we cannot handle. Much like hardware in ICT, software must also be maintained.

This page will be posted to our X-feed: @StandardsMich to remind our colleagues and followers that software needs to be “maintained”

“We need the sense of the sacred, and the sense that things transcend our grasp.

We need to know that we are dependent on others,

and that the condition of our existence is the existence of others.”

— Sir Roger Scruton

“View of Eton College Chapel” 1834 William Ingalton

Natural Religion

The founding of many education communities is inspired by faith communities. In many of them the place of worship was the very first building. College and university chapels are central places of worship for students, staff and faculty, and provide a space for solitude and reflection. A place for feeling at home in the world.

International Building Code | Section 303.4 Assembly Group A-3

There are several hundred technical standards, or parts of standards, that govern how churches and chapels are made safe and sustainable. Owing to innovations in construction, operation and management methods, those standards move, ever so slightly, on a near-daily basis. They are highly interdependent; confounded by county-level adaptations; and impossible to harmonize by adoption cycle. That movement tracked here as best we can within the limit of our resources and priorities. That’s why it’s best to simply click into our daily colloquia if you have a question or need guidance.

Today is the Feast of Corpus Christi.

The 13th century Eucharistic chant of Ave verum corpus was set to music by Mozart in 1791 to be sung especially to celebrate the feast day.

“Nature’s Masterpiece”

Several colleges and universities have “kissing benches” or similar traditions tied to romance on campus.

Michigan State University Beaumont Tower: Nick and Myra Kanillopoulos

Syracuse University. Kissing Bench: This bench on the Quad is steeped in tradition. Legend has it that if a couple kisses on the bench, they will eventually marry. Conversely, if a single person sits there alone, they risk staying single forever.

University of Idaho. Hello Walk and Kissing Rock: While not a bench, this area on campus features a large rock where students have historically kissed. It’s a romantic tradition for couples at the university.

Florida State University Kissing Bench

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Clemson University Lover’s Lane

Illinois State University

University of Cambridge: St. John’s College Bridge of Sighs

University of Oxford: The Bridge of Sighs

University of Bath Somerset County: Sham Castle
