Vol. 55 No. 13 Bethel College, St. Paul, MN January 18, 1980
by Jay Stuart Russell
That's how Ronald J. Riach, at-torney
for the Como-Falcon Com-munity
Coalition, describes the
legal process concerning the job
corps controversy between the co-alition
and the government.
"If you've never been involved
in a legal process with the govern-ment,
it's frustrating," Riach
Riach was referring to efforts
by the Coalition to require the
government to conduct an
environmental impact study on
the proposed site, before con-verting
Bethel's old campus into
the job corps site.
On Nov. 20, 1979 the Eighth
Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a
lower court ruling that the job
corps center did not need an envi-ronmental
impact study.
In December 1978 Judge Harry
McLaughlin ruled that while the
corps did not need an environ-mental
impact statement, the
labor department was required to
reassess the center's effects. The
coalition appealed this decision in
a hearing last June by a panel of
three judges.
The appeals court ruled that the
lower court was right in not re-quiring
an environmental impact
statement, but said that the re-assessment
was not necessary.
What is the next step? "We
must decide whether to appeal the
ruling to the U.S. Supreme
Court," Riach said. "We will
make this decision in a few
Riach said that the goals of the
Como-Falcon Community Coali-tion
are "to secure a complete
review of the center and proposed
use of the center as a site, and to
determine the impact of it." He
added that the coalition's investi-gation
concluded that the site was
not appropriate for use in a resi-dential
Have the group's goals been
achieved? "No, we haven't
achieved our goals—not at all."
Riach said that the decision-makers
haven't investigated and
seriously considered the site's im-pact.
He said that the group has had
some success, because when the
coalition started the lawsuit in ear-ly
1978, they obtained an injunc-tion
and restraining order on the
site. The result was that a lot of
people stopped and took a more
serious look at the site.
Because of the concern and in-creased
publicity on the site,
Riach said that "if the job corps
does go through, extra efforts will
be made to assure people in the
neighborhood that the kids won't
cause trouble in the area."
Riach said that even though the
group was unable to attain a study
on the site, it shouldn't be labeled
as a failure. "We've generated a
lot of interest in the area, and as a
result, the corps will be given
more scrupulous attention. Ef-forts
will be made to minimize the
The main objection by area resi-dents
is the fear that the -instal-lation
will detract from the neigh-borhood.
At one of the first pub-lic
meetings in the area, citizens
were upset and alarmed to hear
that fences may be constructed,
and police protection increased in
the area.
Riach claimed that the coalition
has 400-500 members, and that
most are relatively active. "We've
always had packed courtrooms
during court proceedings."
The group is fairly well-organ-ized,
with a newsletter distributed
to neighborhood homes and a
hotline having information on
latest developments in the case.
Not everyone in the neighbor-hood
is opposed to the job corps,
Riach said. "I don't know of a
group of job corps supporters, but
there are people who actively sup-port
the site's use a job corps cen-ter."
He added that a lot of the
people in the neighborhood don't
care either way.
Riach feels that most area resi-dents
don't hold a grudge against
Bethel, but they feel Bethel didn't
investigate the job corps situation
enough. "I think it was totally a
business decision," he said. "I
don't think they anticipated the
strong reaction from the commun-ity."
He added that most people
don't understand the unrespon-sive
nature of the government,
and that many aren't sympathetic
to the problems involved. "Many
of the residents in the area have
been called bigots and racists," he
"I don't know whether the job
corps will move into Bethel's old
campus, but if they do, everyone
hopes their fears will be un-founded."
Echoes of a two-year old battle continue to resound on old campus. Pictured below are some
early efforts on the part of residents to sway government action on the Job Corps site. Most of
the neighborhood's actions have been in vain.
Board cost low, will increase
by Mari Broman
Bethel's current board fee of
$550 ranks as the least expensive
of all 36 local and out-of-state
schools surveyed at random this
year by Paul Drake, director of
auxiliary enterprises. But, ac-cording
to Drake, students
should expect a substantial in-crease
in the near future.
The present $550 covers the
price of Bethel's food card pro-gram.
Therefore it cannot be ac-curately
compared with the price
of an all-you-can-eat system.
Lower board costs do not neces-sarily
reflect a lower cost for eat-ing
in the cafeteria.
Drake said that he as well as the
food service have requested larger
increases in the past, but ad-ministrative
decisions blocked
such action.
Since 1969 students have seen
only a 3.4 percent increase in
board costs, compared with an 8.5
percent increase in the cost of
housing. During the period from
1971-1978 board costs remained
the same, while housing prices
rose every year except 1975 (see
As a result Bethel is one of the
few colleges with housing prices
exceeding the board cost.
Last year the board rate went
up $75 (16 percent), and the prices
in the cafeteria increased an aver-age
of 12 percent, in an effort to
offset the 13 percent inflation of
the year.
But these increases fail to make
up for the inflation of the pro-ceeding
years. According to
Drake's calculations, the average
inflation rate was eight per cent. If
Bethel food costs had kept up
with that rate from year to year
the current fee would be $833 (see
graph), 166.6 percent of the $550
students pay now, yet still over
$25 below the average of the sur-veyed
Drake said, "One of these years
we're going to have to get up
where we'll be able to keep up
with the Consumer Price Index
and inflation in this country.
We're so far behind."
Catching up next year, accord-ing
to this relatively low estimate
of average inflation (actual infla-tion
last year was 13 percent)
would mean charging $900 (see
graph). That would mean a 164
percent increase from 1979-80.

animal pursuits to un-precedented
heights of self-aware-ness

we are not being presumptuous.
How can we redeem our lost

a measure of meaning into the
fond memories of those countless
hours of uninspired tutelage
devoid of "sharp, intriguing ques-tions?"
How can one, as you clearly
have, escape the irresistable draw

Bethel meets marks
of Christian college
Interim has to be the greatest development on the college scene since
the coffee bean. The change of pace is as beneficial to one's psyche as
consecutive half-hour segments of M*A!KS*H*.
Interim usually guarantees snow, "innovative additions to Bethel's
regular curricular offerings" (from the 1980 Bethel Interim catalog),
and broomball. Interim also brings visitors interested in spending a
month at Bethel—a "Christian college" of the Baptist General Con-ference.
But what distinguishes Bethel from a state school or a school with on-ly
feeble church connections? What marks a Christian college as uni-que?
We feel it is important to answer such questions for our visitors
and periodically for ourselves. In Christianity Today, Nov. 2, 1979,
William Ringenberg of Taylor University wrote concerning the nature
of a Christian college. An excerpt follows:
"What are the marks of a decidedly Christian college?"
1. A clear statement of faith and/or Christian purpose in the college
catalog or other publication.
2. A clear faculty-hiring policy that upholds the twin necessities of
Christian faith and intellectual ability.
3. A faculty who operate from a vocational sense of mission and who
actively seek to integrate the Christian faith with their professional
4. A general education in Bible and/or Christian thought.
5. A regular, well-attended, dynamic chapel program.
6. A campus that displays a positive attitude toward the sponsoring
church or religious constituency, and an above average spirit of
friendliness and general decorum.
7. A program that gives major emphasis to evangelism.
Using Ringenberg's "marks" as a checklist against which to measure
Bethel, the school stacks up notably well: 1) Bethel makes a strong state-ment
of commitment to evangelical Christian principles; 2 & 3) the
dean's office has done a commendable job of faculty recruitment—we
feel Bethel's faculty, on the whole, is a unique group of scholars dedi-cated
to the Christian faith, to their disciplines and to education; 4)
Bethel requires Bible and theological courses and encourages integration
of faith with other academic disciplines; 5) the chapel program is good,
and attendance, though lower this year, usually runs over 50 per cent; 6)
Bethel retains strong ties to the BGC; and 7) while Bethel is not a
"preacher school," and does not exhort students to Bible banging, there
is a strong emphasis on being a world-conscious Christian and a call to
live responsibly in meeting the needs of others, physical as well as
Our point is not to congratulate ourselves, but to affirm the principles
and goals of liberal arts education in a Christian setting. We also express
appreciation to those who have steered the institution thus far.
Clarion editorial policy should always reflect these affections. When
we disagree with Bethel administration and policy (and we will, occa-sionally)
it is always in what we feel are the best interests of the school
and its students. In coming issues, for example, we intend to analyze
student services and look at various administration decisions. No matter
what the shape of the opinion, our guiding principles in criticism and
commendation are our support of Christian education, our support of
the Bethel community and our commitment to all of the glory of God.
Note: We thank Martin Oren from the Westmont Horizon from whom
we lifted this idea.

Grove City fights
Federal intervention resisted
by Rhoda Noordmans
Should Bethel College accept
federal grants for program devel-opment?
This question was brought to
the National Conference of the
Baptist General Conference when
it met in 1967 in Duluth. The de-cision
by vote of the entire assem-bly
present at the conference was
The two main reasons for the
decision involved the belief in se-paration
of church and state, and
the belief that with government
money comes government con-trol.
Dan Nelson
But, as David Lissner, director
of campus development, noted,
the government already has an
avenue to control over the college
if it sees fit, with its authority to
evoke the tax-exempt status of the
school. Therefore the main issue is
separation of church and state.
The decision to operate without
the use of federal involvement in-stitutional
aid allows Bethel to
hire a totally Christian faculty and
staff, and accept a totally Chris-tian
student body, a practice
which may be termed as discrimin-ation
with regard to personal
creed. However, long before fed-eral
laws insured against racial or
sex discrimination, Bethel's po-licy
was to be non-discriminatory
in these areas.
Dan Nelson, director of finan-cial
aid, explained that there is a
distinct difference between stu-dent
aid and institutional aid.
State and federal funds in such
forms as Basic Educational
Opportunity Grants, National Di-rect
Student Loans, Guaranteed
Student Loans, and work-study
programs, make up about two-thirds
of the financial aid awarded
to Bethel students.
The state of Minnesota also has
a program whereby Minnesota
colleges receive grant money for
each Minnesota resident enrolled.
This money, Nelson said, is used
as a scholarship fund for students.
Bethel has received library
funds in order to purchase new
books, and has applied to borrow
money from the government at an
extremely low rate of interest in
order to build new dorms, but
these aid programs are also con-sidered
aid to the students rather
than to the institution.
Even if Bethel had elected to ac-cept
federal grants, said Lissner,
there is no guarantee that the col-his
insightful questions, showed
considerable understanding of the
facts of the case," Dr. MacKenzie
The judge told reporters he will
hand down his decisions soon
"Because of the importance of the
case," the Grove City president
said, "the probability of our ap-peal
and continued litigation is
He pointed out that "a host of
people realize that if HEW should
win a decision in the courts, the
government, by benefiting indi-viduals
(students), can seize
jurisdiction over institutions (col-leges)
which those individuals sup-port,
and the whole private sector
is in danger of absorption by big

lege would benefit significantly.
He referred to a monstrous
volume called the Catalogue of
Federal Domestic Assistance, say-ing
that of the great number of
federal aid programs listed
therein, many have no funds to
make them legitimate.
Most that do have funds are
very limited. For example, of the
161 applications submitted last
year for a new dorm financing,
only 13 were accepted to receive a
loan. As Bethel was not one of the
13, the application must be re-sub-mitted
this year.
People at Bethel and the sup-porters
in the Baptist General
Conference believe that matters of
church and state should be kept
They do not want the govern-ment
to be able to dictate laws
which may be opposed to Bethel's
standards, and they are pleased to
be able to support a growing
Christian college without , the aid

According to a law which took
effect on Jan. 1, questions and an-swers
for all admissions exams for
college and graduate schools must
be made public in New York
State. The information, tradi-tionally
withheld from consumers,
will give test takers in New York
rights not yet enjoyed in any other
state. Attempts to pass similar
legislation in Washington, D.C.,
have begun.
The New York Public Interest
Research Group (NYPIRG) and
other supporters of test disclosure
laws say they will bring such test-ing
giants such as the New Jersey-based
Educational Testing Service
(ETS) under public scrutiny for
the first time. Nearly two million
students take ETS annually, in-cluding
the Scholastic Aptitude
Test, Law School Admissions
Test, Graduate Records Exam and
Graduate Management Admis-sions
Testers say they are already
accountable to the academic com-munity,
and that full disclosure
would only increase costs and de-crease
quality and availability.
Bethel's Director of Admis-sions,
Phil Kimball, said he op-poses
such legislation in Min-nesota.
He feels the law is harmful
to the testing process, and feels
the tests are the only standardized
measurement of how a student
may perform in college.
Kimball has written his
congressman, urging him to vote
against any Minnesota version of
the New York Law. Currently no
"Truth-in Testing" legislation has
been introduced in either the Min-nesota
House or Senate.
In New York, consumer advo-cate
Ralph Nader has taken up the
fight on behalf of the new law,
urging New York students to work
toward the elimination of stan-dardized
tests in admissions
altogether, if exam costs and
availability are affected by the
A major element of the law re-quires
that questions and answers
for every test given in New York
be made public after 30 days. ETS
and other opponents claim this
disclosure would increase costs
since testers would have to
develop new questions each time
an exam is given and then made
public. Currently, questions are
often repeated. To make up for
the costs of disclosure, testers say,
exam fees will increase, and they
will be given less often.
"It's a phoney argument,"
Nader recently told reporters
before addressing students at the
University of Arizona. He claimed
ETS's own documents show that
less than five per cent of its testing
costs goes to question develop-ments.
He added that the non-profit
corporation's computers
have 300,000 questions in storage.
"Since ETS lost its battle in the
legislature, it now turns to black-mail,"
Nader said.
He suggested that if prices in-crease
and availability decreases as
testers say, New York students
should then move to have the tests
eliminated from the admissions
But the state's Public Interest
Research Group, which lobbied
for the legislation, is first con-sidering
legal action if cost and
availability are affected. Students
are "the captive consumers" of
these tests since they must be
taken for admission, NYPIRG's
Steve Solomon said.
Bethel, while requiring ap-plicants
to take the SAT, does not
use test scores as the determining
factor in admissions. According
to Kimball, the test scores are one
of five criteria used to evaluate a
prospective student.
Each student supplies three
references, SAT scores and tran-scripts
of previous academic
work. All five criteria are used in a
check-and-balance system.
Test scores do not outweigh the
other factors. In fact, said Kim-ball,
"The best predictor of col-lege
success is a student's past

But put within the range of a gum-snapper, an ice-chewer, or a joint-cracker, we come unhinged. Take
away fortune, food, family, and the "Twin Cities Reader." Fine. It's the little irritations in life that drive us
to drin . . . that is, suicide.
And don't try to tell me you're above all this.
Remember the time your best friend coughed during your favorite "Mork and Mindy" rerun? You took
a bread knife to his scalp. How about that night your father made that "we all have to do things we don't
like to do" crack when you were in a grumpy mood?
The evidence boils to one black conclusion: You can rear-end my Buick, set my luxury Fountain Terrace
apartment ablaze, sever my right hand just above the wrist . . . but don't leave coffee rings on the kitchen
counter. Don't spit three predictable times after brushing your teeth. Don't clear your throat every time
you're about to answer the phone. I'll kill you!
It is morning. My roommate is humming. I do not understand a.m. cheerfulness.

Truth be told, none of us are above reproach: No matter how im-maculate
and flawless we try to be, there is always some kink in our per-sonal
or hygenic habits that puts someone into orbit. And until we can
transform ourselves into perfect, supernatural beings, we have to en-dure—
in silent agony—the unendurable, or be called hypocrites.

while nonchalantly whipping his entrees and vegetable into a mashed,
unidentifiable pablum, your response is "Naw, go ahead" as your
fingernails dig flesh from your palms.)

numerous irritations just as calmly:

secret that makes this human tendency toward irritation a real joy.

Repertory theatre venture poses drawbacks
by Jan Johnson
"The biggest problem with do-ing
repertory theater was the sets.
They had to be simple enough to
change every night," said Jeff
Miller, theatre arts instructor and
director of "Bereshith."
He was referring to the idea of
performing two different plays on
alternate nights instead of per-forming
one play' for a weekend
and then performing another play
the next weekend. Bethel's theatre
arts department experimented in
repertory last fall with "Bere-shith"
and "Antigone."
Sandra Lind, a member of the
"Antigone" cast, agreed with
Miller that the biggest problem
was the sets.
"The lighting for the two plays
was different, so it had to be
changed every night. A couple of
times, there was a problem with
that and our lighting wouldn't be
right," Lind said.
But both she and Debra Olson,
a member of the "Bereshith"
cast, agreed that it was a good ex-perience.
"It was good because I had to
discipline myself to be able to do it
when the performances were
spread out over five weekends,"
said Olson. "But it was really
hard. I don't think I'd want to do
it again."
Repertory theater probably
won't be used for the two spring
productions, "The Matchmaker"
and "The Crucible."
"The main reason that we used
it for the fall was that "Festival of
Christmas" was scheduled in such
a way that there wasn't time to fit
in two seperate performance
schedules. We won't have that
problem this spring," Miller ex-plained.
"Next fall? Maybe." Jeff Miller

First it was Professor
Rainbow's Colorful Caravan.
Now it's Doc Rainbow's Sensa-tional
Sunshine Show. Don Rain-bow
may have left Bethel, but he
hasn't left the theatre.
Last February, Rainbow left
snowy Bethel College for the sun-ny
weather of La Cresenta, Calif.
He had been an associate profes-sor
in the theatre arts department
since 1972, after four years as
dean of men.
Rainbow went to work in the La
Crescenta First Baptist Church.
There he is an associate pastor in
charge of Christian Education.
His Sensational Sunshine Show
is an extra activity. He held audi-tions
last July and chose five men
and three women, ranging in ages
from 21 to 28. They started re-hearsing
in August and have just
finished a two week-end run at the
In the cast is Wade Anderson, a
1979 Bethel graduate, who was in
Rainbow's Colorful Caravan
when Rainbow was still here at
Bethel. The show is now tempo-rarily
"on ice," so Wade can now
put all his attention into his job as
a technologist at a local hospital.
Although the show is now on
ice, there is the possibility of a
"The Air Force asked us to tour
their military bases in Alaska.
That came as a result of when the
Bethel Caravan and I toured the
military bases in Europe in 1976,"
Rainbow said. "It's either that, or
touring churches here in the L.A.
area. The whole cast is very
talented . . . every one of them
has performed before. I'd really
like to take them on tour."
The Sunshine Show is the same
medicine-wagon-type show that
the Colorful Caravan was. It
starts with a 30-minute rendition
of "The Princess and the Pea,"
has some Broadway show tunes,
some story theatre and something
that Rainbow always wanted to do
more of: scripture.
"Basically, it's a two-hour ex-travaganza,"
Rainbow said.
But the Sunshine Show is a rela-tively
small part of his role in the
La Cresenta church. He has also
been involved with youth pro-grams.
There are two in particular
that Rainbow innovated. One is a
DVBS-type program called "The
Adventures of the Whippersnap-per
Gang" that ran for three
weeks and involved some 100
kids. Rainbow called on Wade
Anderson to be in charge of it.
The other is for pre-schoolers
and it's called "The Gingerbread
House." It's sort of like Sunday
School, but the staff dress as
storybook characters, and they
teach Bible truths in a fantasy set-ting.
Rainbow is interested in get-ting
both of these published in the
forrp of curriculum material.
When asked what he missed the
most about Bethel, Rainbow re-plied,
"I guess what I miss most is
the way we constantly had stud-ents
over to visit our home." He
invites anyone who visits the L.A.
area to come and visit him.
One final question was,
"What's the weather like there?"
One could almost see him smiling
as he replied, "It's 82 degress,
sunny, and no smog."

Within the past three years,
broomball has become Bethel's
number one intramural sport.
This year 38 teams have been ar-ranged
into four divisions.
The high number of teams will
make every game highly competi-tive
since only two or three teams
from each division will get a
playoff berth. The IM department
urges those who have never seen a

his opponents will be trying espe-cially
hard to beat him. As de-fending
MIAC champion in the
heavyweight division, he'd like to
win the title again and place (top
five) in the national tournament.
"Sure I'd like to successfully
defend the championship, but I'd
also like to go undefeated into na-tionals.
As for team goals, I'd like
to see the team place second in the
conference. That's a realistic
goal," said Hodge.
Since Hodge finished the season
16-1-2 last year and the team end-ed
the season fifth, but just points
out of third, that seems a realistic
But there are other things that

Bethel basketball players spent
their Christmas in the Twin Cities
as they prepared for the Augsburg
tournament. Going into the tour-ney
it looked as if the Royals
would be facing Augsburg in the
championship game.
The only problem was that
Northwestern was not informed
of this and they handed Bethel a
84-72 defeat. The Royals came
back strong to beat St. Olaf 87-73,
but lost to St. Thomas 75-69 in the
consolation finals. Both of the
teams Bethel lost to were teams
that the Royals had beaten in ear-lier
games by 20 points. This
might have caused a little overcon-fidence.
The one bright spot of the tour-ney
was Gary "Bumpkin" Ed-lund,
who was voted to the All-
Tournament team with three
strong performances.,
The Runnin' Royals then had to
face the toughest part of their
schedule, four games in seven
The Royals were psyched up to
play league leading Augsburg at
home—too psyched up. Bethel
came out tight, letting Augsburg
take a 38-21 half time lead. In the
second half, the Royals could not
put it together and lost 73-45.
The Auggies had four players in
double figures with Ronnie Hen-derson
collecting 16 points and 12
assists. Gary Edlund once again
led Bethel with 12 points.
From there the Royals ran into
another struggle at St. John's. Be-thel
lost again as John Eisenchenk
scored 24 points to lead the John-nies
to a 81-60 win. Bethel man-aged
to make only 35 percent of
its shots as Scott Wilson and Greg
Edlund led the team with 14 and
13 points respectively.
At St. John's, Bob Giddings
was given a new nickname, Rabbi.
Steve Carrigan was also redubbed
Macalester, undefeated in the
:eague, came to Bethel expecting
to see a downtrodden team. Mac
found a revitalized team. The
Runnin' Royals exploded on Mac
as they scored 65 points and shot
72 percent in the first half. By the
time the game was over, the Roy-als
had scored 114 points to Ma-calester's
When St. Mary's invaded Ro-bertson
Fieldhouse, they faced an
uninspired Royal team. The Red-men
jumped to a 35-28 halftime
Coach Palke must have had
some choice words for his team
because they came out for the sec-ond
half fired up. Bethel shot 70
percent in that half, but it was a
tight defense spurred on by the
bench and the crowd that won the
game for the Royals.
The final score showed Bethel
77, St. Mary's 68. Once again Rey
"Radar" Miller led the team with
17 points, followed by Wilson and
Gary Edlund who each had 16.

A different women's basketball
team has emerged onto the court
following the semester break, and
the improvements appear to be
enough to warrant the declaration
of the start of a new season.
With a new look of aggressive-ness
and balance, the Royals have
won two of their first three "sea-son
openers." Despite a shakey
start at Concordia-St. Paul, the
team came back to soundly defeat
St. Mary's and St. Scholastica
with a new confidence that hope-fully
will carry into the rest of the
An overwhelming 54 turnovers
proved to be the painful cause of a
67-49 loss to Concordia, in which
the Royals were outshot 80 to 43.
Bethel started the game strong
pulling ahead for the first ten min-utes,
but the opponents then ap-plied
a full-court press and began to
produce the rash of turnovers.
Joann Griffin and Beth Kars-jens
each scored 10 points, and

Karsjens led with nine rebounds.
An aggressive defense and a ba-lanced
scoring attack led the Roy-als
to a 62-44 win over St. Scholas-tica.
Several minutes passed in the
game with very minimal scoring
until Bethel finally took control
with an improved passing game.
The new sharpness in passing gave
the Royals several open shots and
a drop in turnovers.
Karsjens led the balanced scor-ing
with 20 points, Deb Sension
followed with ten and Joann Grif-fin
added nine. Katie Miller and
Sheila Kroon each had eight
The Royals out-rebounded St.
Scholastica 48-33, and Griffin was
high rebounder for Bethel with 13.
St. Mary's proved to be tougher
competition for Bethel, but con-trol
of the rebounding game and a
field goal percentage of 50 helped
the Royals defeat St. Mary's
Griffin led with 22 points and
Deb Sension was again second in
shows how to ignite the home
scoring with 14, followed by Kars-jens
with 11 points. Along with
scoring eight points, Katie Miller
added strength at the boards with
nine rebounds. Griffin also grab-bed

no schools, including Be-thel,
were seriously considered as
locations for the Viking practice

Bethel had sent a letter to the
football club this fall informing
them of their preliminary interest
as a site for the facility. Alderman
said that Golden Valley High
School had the upper hand among
schools vieing for the teams pre-sence,
but the Vikings preferred to
own the land for the buildings.
Alderman, a former Viking
tackle and now coordinator of the
team's search for a practice facili-ty,
said the Vikings have picked
up an option on purchasing land
in Eden Prairie, southwest of
Minneapolis, and that construc-tion
should begin in the near fu-ture.

with a bad elbow and Kirk Wal-ters
had the flu, Bethel was forced
to default at 118 and 126 lbs. Both
should be back in action this
weekend. Lonnie Holmgren also
was held out of action because of
an injury.

The hockey team added another
victory to increase its record to
2-10 last week, beating St. John,
5-3, but then lost later in the week
to unbeaten Augsburg, 7-1.
The team has been strengthened
as well as weakened since the sea-son
resumed in January. Several
players previously ineligible have
joined the team and are now play-ing
regularly, including Gary Shi-browski,
Scott Larson, and Scott
Feltman. However, last year's
leading scorer and All-Conference
player, Tom Correll, has left
school, and therefore, is no longer
with the team.
So far this season, Bethel's con-ference
record is 1-4. "The team is
coming together and improving all
the time," said captain Scott
Johnson. "We are stronger on de-fense
than we were before Christ-mas.
We can do a lot if we keep
putting it together."
The next home game is Friday,
January 18, against Hamline.
Game time is 8 p.m. at Columbia
Arena in Fridley. The team then
has three conference games away
next week, including a rematch in
Collegeville against St. Johns.
In late hockey news, freshman
goalie Eric Peterson was named

Submission + - Italy prepares 'one strike' anti-piracy law (techworld.com.au)
angry tapir writes: "The Italian government is preparing an anti-piracy law that could ban Internet users from access after one alleged copyright infringement, a lawyer and an analyst warned. ISPs would be required to use filters against services that infringe copyright, trademark or patents under terms of the draft law. The proposed changes to Italy's e-commerce directive were drafted in July by members of parliament belonging to the Il Popolo della Libertà (PdL) party of prime minister Silvio Berlusconi."

CHICAGO--Until recently, physicians would have offered watchful
waiting only to a select group of older men with localized prostate
cancer. Now, because of concerns about the quality as well as
the length of life, physicians are vigorously debating whether
watchful waiting may be an option for men as young as the early
"Surveillance should be offered to all patients who are newly
diagnosed with prostate cancer because the data do not provide
a compelling argument that there is a lower age at which surveillance
is not acceptable," argued Ian M. Thompson, Jr., MD, at the
Chicago Prostate Cancer Shootout, a debate over the treatment
for localized prostate cancer sponsored by the Chicago Radiological
Society, Chicago Urological Society, and Chicago Medical Society.
Dr. Thompson, chief of the Urological Service, Brooke Army Medical
Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, reported that he recently had
extended the watchful waiting option to a 52-year-old man with
a small tumor and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value of 4.2
ng/mL because surveillance is the only form of treatment that
carries no side effects.
Even in the best of hands, Dr. Thompson pointed out, radical prostatectomy
results in impotence in at least 30% of patients. Among men who
are capable of erections before radical prostatectomy, only about
40% can achieve erection afterwards, and only 12% can accomplish
penetration. At least one study indicated that 63% of men had
a problem with incontinence after surgery, which may have affected
their quality of life.
Glenn S. Gerber, MD, assistant professor of surgery and urology,
University of Chicago Medical School, acknowledged that disease-
and metastasis-free survival at 10 years is similar regardless
of the method of treatment for men with grade 1 prostate cancer.
The data suggest that most men with mild or moderately differentiated
cancer will survive 10 years if left untreated, and that overall
survival or life expectancy of 10 years or less will not improve
with surgery or radiation, Dr. Gerber said.
However, the same study showed that after 10 years, more than
40% of patients exhibited bone metastases. "While it is certainly
true that patients who are placed on watchful waiting will avoid
the side effects of radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy, they
may suffer tremendous morbidity because of metastatic disease,"

I'm new here so I will try hard not to break any rules in posting.
We have a 1 story 1600 sq ft. house that we are looking to replace the 35 year old furnace and 12+ year old A/C. We are also having the furnace moved from the garage into a more central area in the attic, with the intake being moved into the hall near the furnace.
We've narrowed it down to a couple of companies that feel comfortable with. But here is our delima, we are trying to choose between an 18 SEER 2-stage unit or a 16 SEER single stage. We live in Southern California near the Mojave Desert, so our weather tends to be hot and very dry in the summer and mild winters. The variable blower furnace is a definate, but I'm just not sure if the $1300+ difference in the 18 SEER is worth it in the long run. We plan on being in the house a long time and don't mind getting the 2-stage if it makes financial sense but don't want to blow money on something that doesn't really pay back dividends. Especially if we could take the $$$ and put it in attic insulation or a couple more dual pane windows.
Also, it seems that most people who love a 2-stage live in humid climates. I guess the 2 stage helps to run longer and dehumidify the air. Humidity isn't really a problem where we live. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

A fringed linen frock wrapped itself around his lean, lanky frame. A decorated sheathed knife, suspended from a cord around his neck, and a powder horn cradled along his side produced an image of the early American frontier.
His diminutive Shawnee wife, her calico shirt displaying trade silver, accompanied her husband; and 250 years of history surrounded these two figures of the past as they made their way into the present
Most Owen countians are familiar with the names of Claxon Ridge, Pink Ridge, Stewart Ridge, Buffalo Ridge, Riddle's Ridge, Divided Ridge, Fortner Ridge, Ball Ridge, Harris Ridge, Bethel Ridge and Long Ridge. Some of these hilltops took on the names of the families who first settled along their crests, while the origin of the names of others may have been lost over the years.
"To look at the (news) paper is to raise a seashell to one's ear and to be overwhelmed by the roar of humanity."
These words by Swiss author Alain de Botton described the undeniable influence a newspaper has upon its readers.
Newspapers have been a part of our daily life for centuries. They were not only an avenue of advertisement and of distributing information to the public, but were also a means of providing entertainment through satire or storytelling.
"Dillender hauled the mail in a covered freight wagon. On the trip to Eagle Station, he carried produce, poultry, animal skins, rabbits (in season) and sundry other farm products to the L & N depot for shipment to Louisville.
On the return trip, he brought the day's mail, staple and sundry stock for the stores and huge baskets of fresh bread, stacked in unwrapped loaves, a luxury directly related to Moxley's close proximity to the railroad."
Author Marlene Parkin once wrote: "Quilts are masterpieces of the heart and windows into women's history. They possess a magic that will never die, for all of life's hopes and fears, loves and hates have been sewn into them."
Quilts are timeless. Crafted from bits and pieces of shirts, coats, overalls and dresses, they serve as palpable memories of the past.
The origin of quilting is somewhat uncertain although the oldest example of patchwork is an Egyptian queen's canopy dated around 960 B.C.
"The simplest most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a strong family narrative."
Author Bruce Feliler attributes family stories as the secret sauce that holds families together.
Owen County is replete with family and community narratives that have been shared with others. These stories of home life and community events serve to strengthen our ties both with our immediate family and with those with whom we share those stories.
"The last time I saw the school its windows were boarded up and the porch was completely gone, but there are many memories of so many people who went through that old school door. I am one of them."
They produce love and laughter, heartache and tears and build a tapestry of personalities that connect and bond together to create families. Each family member reflects the past, present, and future; and family stories etch themselves into memories and nourish souls.
Preserving family stories presents challenges to modern man.
The Delaware Indians called them the "Allegewa"and there is evidence of their presence in Owen County long ago. The remains of a stone tower, believed to have been built by these people, is perched atop a steep incline along Severn Creek.
From its lofty height a great stretch of the Kentucky River along with the adjoining bottom lands can be seen.
"It's as cheap as dirt, as plentiful as dirt and as dirty as dirt."
This quote reflected the opinion of someone who obviously had occasion to live in an era when bituminous coal was king in Kentucky.
Though there may be truth in this statement the fact remains that coal played a integral part in the history of the commonwealth, and most Owen countians remember the days when area homes, businesses and schools depended on this smooth sooty sometimes smelly resource for heat.

RE[6]: It's an odd switch

Talk about misleading. The linked article complains about a test not being honest, but the test actually does explain the result. If anything they can be accused of being too thorough. Showing you where you won't notice a difference between options. When building a system its just as important to know where throwing resources will not result in a performance increases.

Sleep disorders are common in MS, with a flattening of the normal circadian sleeping/waking rhythm, leading to wakefulness at night and somnolence during the day [Fleming WE, Pollak CP. Sleep disorders in multiple sclerosis. Semin Neurol. 2005 Mar;25(1):64-8. Review.] One cause of this may be decreased nocturnal biosynthesis of melatonin [Wu YH et al., Molecular changes underlying reduced pineal melatonin levels in Alzheimer disease: alterations in preclinical and clinical stages. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2003 Dec;88(12):5898-906.] Decreased melatonin biosynthesis is associated with pineal calcification [Kunz D et al., A new concept for melatonin deficit: on pineal calcification and melatonin excretion. Neuropsychopharmacology. 1999 Dec;21(6):765-72.] Pineal calcification is common in MS [Sandyk R, Awerbuch GI. The pineal gland in multiple sclerosis. Int J Neurosci. 1991 Nov;61(1-2):61-7.] Indeed, nocturnal melatonin levels were found to be lower than daytime levels in 11 of 25 patients with MS. [Sandyk R, Awerbuch GI. Nocturnal plasma melatonin and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone levels during exacerbation of multiple sclerosis.] Melatonin is a major antioxidant in the brain. [Reiter RJ et al., Reactive oxygen intermediates, molecular damage, and aging. Relation to melatonin. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 1998 Nov 20;854:410-24. Review.] These authors observe: 'Melatonin, the chief secretory product of the pineal gland, is a direct free radical scavenger and indirect antioxidant. In terms of its scavenging activity, melatonin has been shown to quench the hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion radical, singlet oxygen, peroxyl radical, and the peroxynitrite anion. Additionally, melatonin's antioxidant actions probably derive from its stimulatory effect on superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and its inhibitory action on nitric oxide synthase. Finally, melatonin acts to stabilize cell membranes, thereby making them more resistant to oxidative attack. Melatonin is devoid of prooxidant actions. In models of oxidative stress, melatonin has been shown to resist lipid peroxidation induced by paraquat, lipopolysaccharide, ischemia-reperfusion, L-cysteine, potassium cyanide, cadmium chloride, glutathione depletion, alloxan, and alcohol ingestion. Likewise, free radical damage to DNA induced by ionizing radiation, the chemical carcinogen safrole, lipopolysaccharide, and kainic acid are inhibited by melatonin. These findings illustrate that melatonin, due to its high lipid solubility and modest aqueous solubility, is able to protect macromolecules in all parts of the cell from oxidative damage. Melatonin also prevents the inhibitory action of ruthenium red at the level of the mitochondria, thereby promoting ATP production. In humans, the total antioxidative capacity of serum is related to melatonin levels. Thus, the reduction in melatonin with age may be a factor in increased oxidative damage.'

LANSING (AP) — The decision to delay Medicaid expansion in Michigan is having another side-effect besides forcing low-income adults to wait three months longer for health insurance required under the federal health overhaul.
It also could mean $73 million less for deteriorating roads at a time lawmakers are funneling more money there in part to avoid raising gasoline taxes and vehicle registration fees.
Lost in the Republican-led Legislature's contentious approval of Medicaid expansion last month was a provision specifying legislators' "intent" to put $193 million in savings into roads on top of a $230 million increase already committed in the budget that began this month. The state saves money under the law because mental health treatment and some prisoner costs it covers instead will be paid with federal Medicaid dollars.
Since Senate Republicans, deeply divided over implementing a key component of the Affordable Care Act, fell short of putting the expansion into effect Jan. 1, the state will save roughly $120 million, one-third less than expected, when more people are covered starting in late March or early April.
There is no guarantee the savings will go to road and bridge maintenance. While House leaders appear to prefer that route, at least one key Senate leader is opposed.
"I would like to see funding for roads increased on its own independently of other revenue streams," said Senate Appropriations Chairman Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw Township.
All told, legislators could boost road funding by roughly $350 million this fiscal year depending on talks in the Capitol. Yet just getting Michigan highways and bridges up to par would cost an extra $1.2 billion a year in ongoing new revenue, according to Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican whose call to significantly raise fuel taxes and license plate fees has stalled along with alternatives floated in the Capitol.
Lawmakers intend to add all of the Medicaid savings to the new Roads and Risks Reserve Fund, Kahn said, but they could decide against it. Or they might still earmark the money there but spend it to address other priorities besides transportation.
Kahn wants to see the savings stay in health care and also favors Snyder's past proposal to tuck away half so Michigan does not take a financial hit when the federal government stops covering the entire cost of the Medicaid expansion in a few years. He fears a health care vs. roads fight will ensue before year's end.
"Instead of having a solid roads program and a solid Medicaid expansion program, we will have neither. It wouldn't be the first time that the Legislature has tripped on its nether region," Kahn said.
Another unresolved budget issue is that a tax on health insurance claims is bringing in $130 million a year less than expected. Without the money, Michigan could lose $400 million in a Medicaid match from the U.S. government.
That is the sort of risk legislators might try to attend to temporarily with money intended for roads or other funding sources. Budget gurus want a long-term fix.
"That's just a one-time shot. We need a structural change there that we're trying to work through," said state budget director John Nixon.
He said there is an understanding that if issues such as the insurance tax shortfall are tackled, the Medicaid savings "will go into roads. That's something we support."
Nixon acknowledged the state must deal this fall with not saving as much money as expected in year one of an expanded Medicaid program.
"The bottom line is we got it done," Nixon said. "We are where we are. We're just going to move forward."
Democrats, however, are taking every opportunity they can to remind the public that headaches could have been avoided by offering health coverage to hundreds of thousands of residents in January rather than waiting.
"The casualties of your civil war are people," Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer, D-East Lansing, said recently during comments directed at Republicans.

Toledo rocks Clippers
The respite from losing proved short for the Clippers today in Huntington Park.
A day after snapping a seven-game slide with an 11-8 win over Toledo, Columbus fell to the Mud Hens 9-4 today in front of a capacity crowd of 10,328 to complete a 1-5 homestand.
Toledo pounded Columbus starter Joe Martinez for nine runs and 12 hits over six innings. Kevin Russo and Nick Castellanos hit home runs for the Mud Hens. Martinez (1-5) nowhas surrendered 27 runs and 41 hits over 18 inningsover his past three starts.
Derek Hankins started the game for Toledo and handcuffed the Clippers for eight innings on four hits. His only problem occurred in the fourth inning when the Clippers rallied for three runs to momentarily close to within 4-3. Chun-Hsui Chen, Matt Laswon and Lou Marson had RBI singles in the rally.
Castellanos answered with a two-run home run off Martinez in the fifth. Toledo added three runs in the sixth to put away the game.
Toledo reliever Bruce Rondon walked the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the ninth. He got Matt Carson to hit a foul pop to first baseman Jordan Lennerton before walking Nate Spears to force home Chen with the fourth Columbus run. Brayan Villarreal entered and he got Ezequiel Carrera to ground into a fielder's choice to end the game.

Callicebus melanochir
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Callicebus melanochir Wied-Neuwied, 1820
Common Name(s):
Callicebus personatus ssp. melanochir Wied-Neuwied, 1820
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Kobayashi and Langguth (1999) and van Roosmalen et al. (2002) recognize five species groups – cupreus, donacophilus, moloch, personatus and torquatus. Callicebus melanochir belongs to the personatus group, which includes the following species: Callicebus barbarabrownae, Callicebus coimbrai, Callicebus melanochir, Callicebus nigrifrons and Callicebus personatus.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable A2c ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Veiga, L.M., Printes, R.C., Ferrari, S.F., Kierulff, C.M., de Oliveira, M.M. & Mendes, S.L.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
This species is listed as Vulnerable as a result of a continuing decline exceeding 30% over the past 24 years (3 generations) inferred from conversion of forest habitat to cacao following the economic crisis of the 1980s (and continuing today). The remaining populations are all severely fragmented.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|According to Hershkovitz (1990), Callicebus melanochir is found in Atlantic coastal forests of Brazil between the right margin of the rio Paraguaçu in the state of Bahia and the left bank of the rio Mucur in northern Espírito Santo. Van Roosmalen et al. (2002) claimed that the species may overlap with C. personatus in the Itaúnas and Mucuri river valleys, in the north of Espírito Santo. Cerrado (savanna) acts as a barrier to the distribution of titis today and it is likely that C. melanochir ranges no further west into Minas Gerais than Montes Claros (Printes 2005). To the north, C. melanochir extends as far as the Rio Paraguaçu, where it meets the ranges of C. coimbrai and C. barbarabrownae (Hershkovitz 1990; Oliver and Santos 1991; Flesher 1999; Sousa in prep). It may formerly have occurred in the Pardo-Jequitinhonha interfluvium, but the forests of this region have now been replaced by cattle pasture and recent surveys found no Callicebus there (Printes et al. in press). This species may reach as far south as the Rio Doce (300 km to the south), while to the west it is replaced by C. personatus (Printes in press).

|There is no information on the population status of this species. The populations are highly fragmented.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|An inhabitant of Brazil's Atlantic forest, where it occurs also in areas of degraded habitat. There are very few studies on the ecology and behaviour of members of the personatus group. However, Callicebus melanochir has been the subject of a few studies in Bahia. They live in small family groups, with a home range of 22–24 ha (Müller 1996; Heiduck 2002) and a mean day range of approximately 1 km (Müller 1996). The diet comprises mainly fleshy fruit parts, seeds and young leaves (Heiduck 1997). A group in Serra do Teimoso Reserve, Jussari, was highly frugivorous, with 90% of their diet composed of fruit, complemented by leaves, flowers and other items (Cardoso and Santos 2005).
|Major Threat(s):
|This species inhabits the most developed and populous region of Brazil, in a region that has suffered from extensive habitat loss and fragmentation and where there is now very little remaining forest cover (estimated from between 5 to 10%). The reduction of available habitat for the eastern Brazilian titis is ongoing, mainly due to pressures for cattle ranching and agriculture. Hunting pressure is probably negligible to moderate in most cases, given their small body size.
|Conservation Actions:
|This species occurs in several protected areas, including the Pau Brasil National Park, south of the Jequitinhonha. It is listed on CITES Appendix II.

Armed with cell phones and commitment cards, more than 200 educators from across the state will start the day Tuesday by calling their local legislators in their district offices and going office to office in the Capitol asking them to stop public school cuts, to protect our classrooms during the current state budget crisis – and to sign a commitment card pledging to keep their promises to students. Lawmakers who have signed on to protect public education from cuts will join teachers at a noon CTA news conference today. "The polls show that voters are concerned about funding cuts to public education and believe our schools and students should be a top priority during the budget fight, especially after public education has been cut by $17 billion over the last two years," said David A. Sanchez, president of the 325,000-member California Teachers Association. "Now the governor's revised budget wants to cut billions more while also wiping out child care. Teachers will be asking lawmakers to stop the cuts, and to sign commitment cards to show they will make protecting schools a top priority."
The cards are part of a California Education Coalition campaign outlined at www.PromiseToStudents.com. They ask legislators to promise to protect public schools from further cuts; stand by the agreement signed into law last summer to repay $11.2 billion owed to public schools; and to oppose any attempt to undermine Proposition 98, the voter-approved minimum school funding guarantee.
WHAT: News conference with teachers and legislators and daylong lobbying by more than 200 California public school teachers from across the state. They will meet face to face with their lawmakers to ask them to sign cards committing them to protecting schools from more cuts. Assembly card signers Tom Torlakson and Tony Mendoza and Senator Leland Yee will speak at the news conference.
WHEN and WHERE: Lobbying by teachers is 11:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. today, May 25, in the Capitol. The news conference is noon-12:30 p.m. on the north steps of the Capitol building. Names of lawmakers who have signed the commitment cards will be unveiled. ### The 325,000-member CTA is affiliated with the 3.2 million-member National Education Association.

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) -- A new report shows a declining percentage of Kansans are getting their health insurance through their employers.
The study, released Thursday, was paid for by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funds health research and programs.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's State Health Access Data Assistance Center found that 64 percent of Kansans were insured through their employers in 2011, the latest information available, down from 73.9 percent in 2000.
Nationwide, 11.5 million fewer Americans get their insurance through the workplace in 2011 than in 2000.
The decline comes as insurance costs increase. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation CEO Risa Lavizzo-Mourey says higher costs lead to fewer employers offering insurance coverage and fewer employees accepting it when it's offered.

**1/2 (out of four)
Ad revenues are a shadow of their former selves. People are getting news from Twitter, Facebook, Wikileaks, everywhere else on the Internet and basically anywhere but print media. What's a little old historic newspaper to do? This doc enters the legendary paper to see if we really are facing, as one hashtag suggests, #mediaarmageddon.
Obviously: How I respond to this movie—especially since it covers David Carr's extensive piece on the bankruptcy of the Tribune Company, my employer—will inevitably be different from that of a viewer who doesn't work for a media company. Regardless, it's great to see a film show the way newspapers actually operate, rather than the sensationalized gabfest that usually occurs in rom-com newsrooms.
The verdict: Does the movie emulate the Times' reputation for diligent, relentless pursuit of the truth? Nah, it's too glossy for that, reiterated by director Andrew Rossi's choice to end "Page One" with executive editor Bill Keller (who recently announced he was stepping down) announcing the paper's latest batch of Pulitzer Prizes. The question, "What would the world be like without the New York Times?" also doesn't receive a full and balanced examination, especially considering a grand total of zero members of the public are given a voice in this doc. I still found the film riveting in its look at how to maintain old-school journalism principles when the bottom line doesn't always allow it. Half-hearted encouragement: Carr admits that he succumbed to joining Twitter, and it didn't turn his brain to mush.
Did you know? Brian Stelter landed his job at the NYT simply by earning acclaim for his blog. If that's not modernity, I don't know what is.

.She's Not In-between, Just Other.
There's a visitor in Forks, but she's definitely no tourist. That appears to be all that's definite, though. Well…that and her stunning beauty. Can the Cullens figure out just exactly who or what she is? Could her mysterious male companions provide the answers? Set a decade or so after Breaking Dawn ends…Renesmee is full grown (and married to Jacob) and the wolf pack at La Push has grown significantly. Apart from that, everything is pretty much the same…
I don't own Twilight, unfortunately. I do, however, own Freyvarr. Her soul is mine! Muhahaha!
1. Chapter 1 - Imprinting

"Someone is coming," stated Alice blankly, her eyes fixated in an area of space. Bella turned. Deep in conversation with Renesmee, she hadn't noticed Alice's less buoyant presence or the glazed look that had come over Edward. Evidently he too had watched the vision.
"Who is it?" she asked "Volturi?"
"No," replied Edward firmly, "Someone else. Something else."
Freyvarr took a moment to extend her senses into the environment, following the relevant paths of a bountiful stream of information in her mind.
To the east.
Approaching at speed.
This complicated things. She halted and waited for the two males to catch up.
"What is it?" muttered Infidus as his muscled frame appeared beside her, "We don't have time for this."
"Calm, my little biteling, it will only be a small holdup. It's the wolves. I thought this might happen." She waited until Maracus emerged from the trees behind before continuing. "Just try to restrain yourselves and let me do the talking. We wouldn't want to be upsetting the wolves -"
"The wolves?" interrupted Maracus, his bright scarlet eyes alive with a concoction of fear and exhilaration.
"Yes, the wolves. I did say that, baby." She glanced disappointedly at their anxious expressions. "Look, just don't you two get involved. I can handle the wolves. They're not as bad as everyone makes out in the city, my little fanglets."
"Not as bad as they make out?" said Infidus incredulously, "They took out half of Maestria's Clan and Maestria. If they can take out Maestria and her spawn then we don't have a chance."
"Quiet, Infidus. I am sick of this nonsense. They are almost here."
Jesus thought Jacob, they smell worse than the Cullens. Definitely blood suckers.
How many are there? thought Reon nervously.
Only three, I reckon, replied Jacob, and don't worry about it. I know this is your first time with the pack, but we can definitely take on three.
There was a moment of silence between the pack as they moved swiftly towards their goal.
You're right you know, said Embry in an attempt to break the awkward thought tension, these ones do stink worse than the Cullens. I didn't even think that was possible…
What? You said it first! I wasn't referring to Renesmee…
They soon entered a dark clearing. Tall trees imposed on the area of ferny foliage, stretching their warped black tendrils over it and hiding it from the gleam of an inviting moon above. The scene was surprisingly tranquil, but was ruined by the sting of vampire scent that Reon could feel in his nostrils.
Then they appeared, three vampires; one female and two males. The two black-haired males, one muscular and one lean, hung back in the gloom of the trees, but the female came forward into a patch of scattered starlight. Reon had never seen anything so beautiful. Her skin was not only pale, but a pure glimmering white that moved like soft silk across her muscles, caressing every sinew and curve with each movement that she made. Her hair, blonde and loosely curled, had been looped into an intricate yet haphazard style, held together by half a dozen wild flowers. The blooms of these flowers framed her face and adorned her hair as if she had been crowned by Mother Nature herself. Her elegant, feminine figure had been half disguised by a long white dress. Not quite opaque and desperately light, however, any movement of her body under that dress made her slender form all too obvious. Her eyes were a deep, intense ruby colour and set in a face that was…beyond imagination.
Reon gazed longingly at the smooth skin, her deep eyes and those scarlet lips. It was strange. He knew that vampires should be dangerous, but he couldn't seem to feel any threat from her. Quite the opposite. Every part of her seemed to radiate innocence. She might be strong, yes, but she was also…fragile. Like she needed protection… almost…almost like she needed…his protection…
Tell me you're kidding me! shouted a voice from somewhere.
Ignorant voice. Silly, interrupting voice. Beautiful vampire…needs his protection…his love…his care…
Jacob, in the name of all that is sanity, please tell me that boy isn't imprinting!
Needing to be near her…his love…protect her…
Oh no you don't!
Reon, you could have chosen better timing!
Let's just kill her anyway…
We can't! The imprinting!
Kill her!
Reon started. His love was in danger. Before his body consulted his mind, he was already in the centre of the clearing between his friends and his vampire. He savoured that phrase momentarily. His vampire. The tension of the other werewolves brought him back to the situation. No one had moved, but he could feel their silent threat. Let them try. Five werewolves versus three vampires and a werewolf didn't sound like such uneven odds. Not when that one werewolf was prepared to fight to the death. He growled deeply, barely noticing that he was doing it until he realised that the alarming sound was emanating from within his own throat.Now calm down, Reon, thought Jacob, keen to avoid conflict in the pack, No one has to get hurt here -
Er Jakes?!? Excuse me! Vampires! interrupted Quil,
- we can just consult the Cullens on this one…there's no need to get distressed…
Mine. No touch. No hurt. Mine. My vampire. My beautiful. Mine. thought Reon, unable to muster anything other than simple words.
It's fine, I promise I won't hurt her unless I have to, replied Jacob, his bulky wolf form taking a demonstrative step backwards. Reon growled again. I promise you, Reon. I know what it's like, remember... Renesmee…
Hmmm…I don't seem to remember any of us threatening to kill Renesmee.
I know, I know. Please trust me though. Let's just wait for the Cullens. They're probably on their way already…
