prominence. More

guest editorial
Retarded people need our love too
The following essay originated in an assignment for
my course, The Development of Exceptional Individ-uals.
I consider the content important for three reasons:
1) It reminds us that exceptional individuals are a
part of the human family. Unfortunately, they are often
denied that status.
2) It forces us to consider that spirituality may not
require cognitive mediation. The spiritual dimension
may be the one true "equalizer."
3) It challenges all who claim to be followers of Jesus
Christ to behave like Jesus Christ. That is, the Body of
Christ is mandated by God's Word and example to
minister to all individuals, including the exceptional.
I commend you to Ms. Paul/ Crippin's words.
M. Roe
Each individual created by God has both some form
of knowledge of Him written on his/er heart and the
possibility of God's Spirit residing (or not residing) in
his/er being. It is not simply and not even most impor-tantly
upon the intellect that Christ knocks; the crucial
door is the heart. The spiritual state of a person labeled
"mentally retarded" can no more be assessed ultimately
by a group of Christians than can the spiritual state of a
person labeled normal in intelligence. God keeps the
I have seen profoundly retarded children close their
eyes tight, bow their heads low and hold their little
hands together so tightly that their whole bodies shook
when I was praying with them before a meal. Even
though they did not verbalize a prayer, they witnessed
to me a bold reverence for their Creator.
In another setting, I had contact with a moderately
retarded man who consistently became surly and ver-bally
offensive whenever the topic of God or the church
was discussed in his presence; Bill, it seemed, did not
want to "hear" about it.
The Church as a body should recognize that all indi-viduals
(whatever the level of measured intelligence
functioning) need Christ and His love. And it should
witness and demonstrate through loving treatment to
all the love of God, which is experienced and shared in a
spiritual mode.
The spiritual mode of God's love is exemplified in the
way the Holy Spirit intercedes for us "with sighs too
deep for words." John the Baptist's filling with the
Spirit from birth (Luke 1:15) indicates the spiritual

dimension in a relationship with God. Truly, we com-municate
with God not only in a cognitive dimension
but also in a spiritual' dimension.
Could it be that some mentally retarded individuals
who appear totally unaware of their surroundings pos-sibly
have as deep of a relationship with God as we who
are not assessed to be mentally retarded?
To communicate God's love to the mentally retarded
population, the Body must recognize the individual
needs of each mentally retarded person and explain the
Good News to him/er. Just as God meets each of us at
our particular situation so should each of us meet a
mentally retarded individual where s/he is.
This, of course, is not some warm, fuzzy sentimental-ity
being discussed but the mi ssionary command of
Christ, who died for all peoples. As Christians, we each
need to broaden our concepts of witnessing, loving and
sharing to include the mentally retarded. We need also
to ask how we can nurture what they have to offer to
the body of Christ and to the world.
Including them in the life of the Church might take
the form of individualized Bible instruction, transpor-tation
for and participation in fellowship activities, or
specialized Sunday school instruction. Above all, we
each must seek to actively love the mentally retarded
as much as we love those who are not mentally retarded
and as much as we love ourselves.
Mentally retarded individuals also need to know the
acceptance and communion of believers. In viewing the
mentally retarded individual, we should intellectually,
emotionally and spiritually appreciate our own humble
state compared to that of the Super-intelligence, whose
unconfinable love reaches out to us.

the team won, they stood

Dear Editor:
"I haven't been to church
since I've been here."
This comment I over-heard
in the hallway last
week caused me to do some
heavy thinking about my
commitments to the Lord
and His work here on
earth. This statement
shows me that we are be-coming
so involved in our
everyday activities here at
Bethel, to the point of little
commitment to the Lord.
Do we attend chapel or
have daily devotions of
some kind to keep in touch
with Him? Do we think of
others before ourselves?
Are we wearing the atti-tude
of Christ or the ways
of the world?

would be utterly astounded. There is probably no

We evangelicals believe that knowledge is not

Q. Who is taking a full
load in philosophy at the
U., coaching Bethel J.V.
basketball and women's
tennis and teaching the
interim course "The Japa-nese
Mind"? A. Paul Rea-soner.
Reasoner is uniquely qual-ified
to teach "The Japa-nese
Mind." His parents
are missionaries in Japan.
He was born and raised
there. When he was 18,
Reasoner came to Bethel
and double-majored in phil-osophy
and literature. "I
think both departments
liked me 'cause I was from
the other department. I
think they liked my input
from the other perspec-tive,"
he said. Reasoner
graduated from Bethel in
Reasoner then returned
to Tokyo with his wife
Sharon for three years.
"The plan was that I would
be a full-time student and
Sharon would support me,
the school there gave no
aid to foreign students. She
taught English as a second
language. I taught part-time
where ever I could,
whatever I could. For
awhile I taught English at
this elite Japanese police
school so they could learn
to interrogate foreign pri-soners.
It was interesting."
In Japan Reasoner was
studying for a master's de-gree
in Japanese thought.
Before he finished he de-cided
to "go into Western
philosophy." For that rea-son
he returned to the
United States.
"Originally I was going
to go to the University of
Chicago, but Bethel offered
Sharon a job here. Jobs are
hard to _come by so we
came here and I'm at the
U," he said.
Reasoner is still very
interested in the field of
Japanese thought. "I'm in-terested
partly because
I've lived in Japan most of
my life. I by no means
know what Japanese
thought is. But it's worth a
try to teach it. There is
always something to learn
from other cultures."
This year is the first
time "The Japanese Mind"
has been offered for inter-im.
Reasoner says his "ini-tial
concern is to spark
interest." He is trying to
do that by reading critical
material, poetry, art and
literature. "My specialty
is religion," says Reasoner.
"It's hard to tell how the
course is going. No one
has any background. Part
of the problem is that Ja-panese
thought assumes a
different way of coming to
knowledge. I'm trying to
convey that different
way," he explained.
Reasoner thinks there is
a need for courses like his:.
He said, "Students need to
be exposed to different
world views. I wonder
about Bethel's summer stu-dent
missionaries. Are
they prepared? Christian-ity
is worked out different-ly
in different cultures."
Although Reasoner likes
Minnesota and appreciates
the space ("There is none
in Tokyo—it can get claus-trophobi.
C."), he would pre-fer
to live in Japan. "But
that may not. be God's
will," he said. "I don't want
to sound like I'm just in
favor of Japanese things;
I'm not."
Paul Reason, m.k. from Japan, returns to Bethel to spark inter-est
in Japanese thought for the philosophy department (photo

Northwestern College
and Hemline University
have, respectively, 1 to 17
and 1 to 14 teacher-stu-dent
ratios. The teacher-student
ratio is 1 to 13 at
the College of St. Cathe-rine,
Augsburg College and
Macalester College. The 1-

is the smallest of the
area schools.
Though the number of
faculty and the number of
students has increased, the
teacher-student ratio has
risen little. In 1974-75 the
faculty-student ratio was
1 to 18. The total number
of teaching faculty had ris-en

1974- 75 to 1979 -80. This is
equivalent to a 30 per cent
increase in full-time teach-ing

The number of classes

average number taken by

enjoy this production

it is, no matter what their

beyond the comedy, Shaw
is saying some very mean-ingful
things about the real
and the romantic. All of
the Bulgarians are roman-tics
of the purest order.
They continually commend
such things as "glorious
war" and "higher love."
Bluntschli comes in,
though, as the cultured
Westerner and shows the
absurdity of their ideas;
there is no such thing as a
"glorious war," and "high-er
love" does not fall from
the sky, but is worked out.

Last October posters ad-vertising
the sale of re-search
papers and other
research services were
posted in some classrooms
on campus. Although the
ads clearly violate Bethel's
academic dishonesty code,
there was also some doubt
regarding the legality of
the ads.
Dwight Jessup, director
of academic affairs, wrote
to the attorney generals
in Minnesota and in Wash-ington
state, where the com-pany
in question, Pacific
Research, has its head-quarters.
In the state of Washing-ton
there is legislation out-lawing
the sale of services
Pacific Research offers but
not preventing the com-pany
from soliciting in
other states.
Minnesota has no corn-parable
law. The problem
must be dealt with in the
school. The problem with
such legislation is an indi-vidual's
right to publish. In
other words, the company
has the right to publish
research papers in much
the same way authors pub-lish
books. But in Washing-ton
when the material pub-lished
is used in a fraud-ulent
manner, as when stu-dents
use it to represent_
their own works, then it is
illegal. There must be a
knowledge or implied con-tract
on the part of the
company that the material
will be misrepresented.
Bethel's policies and stan-dards
will not change. In-structors
are asked to be alert
for fraudulent papers, and
students are warned that
the ads, although not ille-gal,
clearly violated Be-thel's
academic dishones-ty

want to try it and then you

to the disciplinary action
taken against the stu-dents.
"If we worked at it,
we undoubtedly could find
others who are guilty of
some rule infractions," he
added, "but I don't see my
job as that kind of job."
Of the nine students in-volved,,

Bethel Republicans are
on the move. College Repub-licans
(CR), a nation wide
organization designed to
encourage college students
to actively participate in
the Republican Party, is
on its way to being estab-lished
at Bethel.
Several interested Beth-el
students have formed
a CR committee, formu-lated
a statement of objec-tives,
and had those objec-tives
approved by the stu-dent
personnel committee
and the student senate.
Now the CR must write up
a constitution for the ap-proval
of those two bodies
and then select a faculty
The CR group at Bethel
met twice already. Mari
Broman and Sandy Erick-son
are the chief organiz-ers
and motivators of the
group. The first meeting
intended basically to mea-sure
the interest of the
student body. Satisfied
with the turn-out, Broman
and Erickson scheduled
another meeting to organ-ize
a committee and dis-cuss
future plans and
goals. This committee has
charge of initiating the
steps necessary for the or-ganization
to become school-recognized.
Members of the CR
group have also attended
two Metro College Repub-lican
meetings. The first
meeting included guest
speakers such as John Berg,
candidate for Congress,
and Arnie Carlson. Speak-ers
discussed campaign-ing
and encouraged stu-dents
to volunteer to set
up booths and campaign.
The second meeting was
held after the election. The
speaker, Bill Mores, polit-ical
science professor at
the University of Minne-sota
and the co-chairman
of the state Republican par-ty,
discussed anticipated
changes in national govern-ment
as a result of the
Republican party's success.

this meeting and Be-thel's

In addition to adapting
these goals of the Metro
CR, Bethel's CR holds these
unique goals: to educate

to provide organization for

to provide a way
for Bethel students and
outsiders to get in contact
with Republican students
and lastly, to serve as a
witness for Jesus Christ
through interactions with
members of MCR.

The overall record for
the women's basketball
team stands at 4-4 after
defeating Normandale and
St. Scholastica, and losing
to the University of Min-nesota-
Morris Saturday.
"We had an extremely
good offensive game," com-mented
Coach Marcia La-
Rock after defeating Nor-mandale
85-70. "We had
twelve people who scored
and the team shot 48 per
cent from the field."
Joann Griffin was the
leading scorer for the Roy-als
with 22 points. Grif-fin
was 12 for 12 on
free throws, and the top
rebounder. Behind Griffin
in scoring were Beth Kars-jens
with 12 points and
freshmen Sue Duehn with
11. "Since Christmas, Sue

Last Saturday, the Roy-als
travelled to Winona
where they took on the St.
Mary's Redmen and came
out on the losing end of
65-61 score. The game was
close all the way as the
Royal five trailed by six at
the half, 36-30.
With time running out
and the score St. Mary's

had the ball and a chance
to tie the score. But Jeff
Westlund missed a shot
and Dwayne Nordstrom
committed a foul on the
rebound. The ensuing free
throws made for the final
four point difference.
The outcome might have
been different had the
Royals not lost Velgersdyk
to fouls in the second half.
With Dion Wolter on crutch-es,
the team does not have

guards picked up some of

said Coach LaRock.
Three days later, the Roy-als
stomped on St. Scho-lastica,
winning 58-48.
This was Bethel's first divi-sion
game of the season.
The team had trouble at
the beginning, but picked
up in the second half. "It
took us a long time to get
going, and we were down
at the half, 31-29," reflect-ed
LaRock after the game.

The Royal basketball
team took on conference
power Augsburg and play-ed
the once-beaten Aug-gies
fiercely before suf-fering
an 85-69 loss. The
Royals played. some of
their best basketball of the
year in the first half, trail-ing
only 37-34 after the
first twenty minutes.
Foul trouble and some
hot shooting by Augsburg
point guard Ronnie Hend-erson
prevented the Roy-als
from upsetting the
host Auggies. Brad Henke
and sharpshooter Greg
Boone each finished with
16 points for Augsburg.
Henderson chipped in 13
for the winners, several
coming on long jumpers in
the second half.
The Royals were led by
Jason Velgersdyk's 25
points. "Jase" was almost
unstoppable as he canned
11 of 18 shots from the
field. Greg Edlund added
11 points to the Bethel
cause. Augsburg's MIAC
record now stands at 9-0.
We had parents from
12 out of the 16 playefs
there. We also played our
best basketball game of
the season.-Last year Mor-ris

The leading scorer was
Griffin once again, with
16 points. Duehn was close
behind with 12. Griffin
and DeBoer were the top
rebounders with eight

Coach LaRock was
pleased with the team's
performance. She said, "It
was a good effort on our
part. Now we know we
are able to compete with
the top teams."
The J.V. nipped North-western
College Saturday
with a score of 47-46. "The
whole game was close, but
we were in the lead pretty

LaRock. Jane Anderstrom

match this year and whipped
the Pipers' Tom Davis
13-2. At 118, freshman Don
Lint pinned Dan Berry of
Hamline at 5:55. Another
Royal who performed well
against the Pipers was
Wayne Reeves. He was lead-ing
his match at 150 by a
score of 4-2 when his oppo-nent

The Royals started last
week with a frustrating
13-4 loss to St. Cloud, but
finished with a promising
two game series against
the Air Force Academy,
Colorado Springs. Bethel,
after leading in both games,
was defeated by Air Force,
7-6 Friday in overtime and
5-3 Saturday.
Despite an early lead
over St. Cloud, a hat trick
by Dave Johnson and pre-cision
play in the first per-iod,
the Bethel skaters lost
last Tuesday after an 8-4
loss earlier in the season.
Last weekend the Royals
traveled to Colorado
Springs to take on the Air
Force Academy. They were
at a disadvantage due to
altitude shock but made a
fine showing despite the
disadvantage. On Friday
evening a hat trick by Dick
Smith, two goals by John-son,
one by Peter Dahl and
goalie Eric Peterson's 34
saves, the Royals were lead-ing
going into the third
period. Air Force scored to
tie it up and thegame went
into overtime. Eighteen
seconds into the overtime
period Air Force scored to
win 7-6.
On Saturday, the Roy-als
again led moving into
the third period, 3-1, on
two Johnson goals and one
score by Bruce Nord. Air
Force scored four goals in
the final period to win 5-3.
Rob Laden had 34 saves
in what Coach Craig Dahl
called an "excellent per-formance."
In both games the Roy-als
seemed to wear out by
the third period which is
typical of teams visiting
because of the high alti-tude
at the Air Force Aca-demy.
Johnson's 7 goals this
week tied him with Scott
Dahlstrom for a team sea-son
record of 13.

McKinnon speaks to CGMC conference.
Minnesota's economic future is set to make a rebound, a top official from the state's economic department said here Thursday.
Kevin McKinnon, director of business and community employment for the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, addressed members of the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities during its annual summer conference at the Sanford Center.
In the keynote speech, McKinnon presented a brief overview of department programs and how they have affected the state's economic sector.
"We have a very positive economic story to tell," McKinnon told a crowd of nearly 50 attendees.
As the state's principal development agency, the primary focus of DEED is to further develop businesses' recruitment and expansion efforts, as well as to promote and build the state's workforce and community development.
According to McKinnon, many DEED programs played a role in recovering about 95 percent of jobs in the state since the economic recession of 2008. He also added that with a state unemployment rate of 5.2 percent, compared to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' June national unemployment rate estimate of 7.6 percent, there is indication the state's businesses are expecting a year of growth.
"We are seeing a lot of good projects around the state coming from these programs," McKinnon said. "We have a good start and we are happy with what we've done, but we (DEED) really hope to do more."
Among the DEED economic programs McKinnon highlighted were the Minnesota Investment Fund, which provides financing to eligible businesses to increase jobs and the quality of those jobs.
With more than $30 million available, the Minnesota Investment Fund has the capability to create nearly 10,000 jobs in the state, McKinnon said. He added that about 80 percent of all the appropriated funds have gone to projects in greater Minnesota.
"This fund has created more revolving loans than anything else we have put in place," said McKinnon, adding that the fund can produce $800 million in private investments.
Among the newest programs is the Minnesota Job Creation Fund, which McKinnon said will provide up to $1 million in approved grants to businesses after certain requirements are met, including specific job creation and capital investment goals.
"There are a lot of projects going on in your communities that already make you eligible for these funds," McKinnon said.
Not effective until Jan. 1, the Minnesota Job Creation Fund would provide eligible businesses with a minimum of $37,500.
With various other DEED tax incentives and exemptions, McKinnon said there a many ways to encourage business growth, noting DEED has impacted businesses from around the state, such as Baxter Healthcare, Emerson Process Management, 3M, Mall of America and Mayo Clinic.
"We have to partner with communities and work toward the common goal of growth," McKinnon said.

If we define "doing well" as having excess income and wealth to spend on gratification, we have defined the wellspring of discontent.
There is an old and bitter maxim that describes the missionaries who sailed to Hawaii in the early-1800s: "They came to do good and stayed to do well." Is it easier to "get rich" than to do good? Does "doing well" create fulfillment or just an ephemeral gratification? Is it possible to "do good" and "do well" at the same time, or is the "to get rich is glorious," wealth-is-good mindset a self-serving illusion?
These questions help me crystallize one purpose of my work on the blog and in my books, which is to re-integrate meaning, work, happiness and our marketing-consumerist culture and economy. In general, we assume (with much nudging) that wealth and happiness are tightly correlated, i.e. getting rich will deliver greater happiness just as a matter of causality. We are also pounded to believe that doing well will magically create a greater good--something every hedge fund manager pulling down $600 million annually wants to believe.
Yet studies find the correlation of wealth to happiness to be far weaker than generally assumed. ...

Vince Carter led the way with 26 points as the Dallas Mavericks continued their home dominance over the Sacramento Kings with a 123-100 rout on Wednesday at American Airlines Center.
Carter erupted for 17 points in the third, where he sank 5-of-7 from 3-point range to help Dallas pull away for its 18th straight regular-season home victory over Sacramento.
Darren Collison added 18 points and Dirk Nowitzki followed with 17 in the third win in four games for the Mavericks, who still have a lot of work to do to avoid missing the postseason for the first time since the 1999-00 campaign.
"All in all I thought we had a good team win," said Collison. "We really needed it before the break desperately, especially losing last game. I thought we did a good job."
Tyreke Evans scored 23 for the Kings, who have dropped consecutive games on the heels of a two-game winning streak. DeMarcus Cousins totaled 17 points and 13 boards in defeat.
The teams remained within striking distance of one another for most of the first 18 minutes of play, but the Mavericks began to create separation late in the second following a 20-6 run.
Collison, who scored eight during the surge, completed a three-point play before knocking down a triple in between a pair of Nowitzki jumpers, which put the Mavs ahead 59-42 with 53.8 seconds remaining until halftime.
After falling behind by as many as 18 in the third, the Kings put together a 17-6 run to come within 73-66, but Carter then became unconscious from 3-point range for Dallas to push the lead back to double-digits.
In the final 4:38 of the third, Carter buried five triples, with his last giving the Mavericks a 92-77 edge heading into the final quarter.
The Kings seemed to deflate after Carter's surge, as Jae Crowder, Nowitzki and Mike James each followed suit with triples early in the final frame to build Dallas' advantage up to 26.
"Dallas played a great game and won the game," said Kings coach Keith Smart. "We had a stretch where we played good basketball. Obviously Vince Carter getting hot and made a bunch of plays and three point shots. Then it started raining. Once you start making threes, everyone starts making them."
Sacramento never came closer than 17 points the rest of the way in dropping its sixth consecutive game away from home.
Game Notes
Carter (21,796) passed Larry Bird (21,791) for 29th on the all-time scoring list ... Dallas has beaten Sacramento in 14 of the last 15 meetings overall ... The Kings are just 5-23 on the road this season ... Sacramento has not won in Dallas during the regular season since Feb. 27, 2003 ... The Mavericks have won the first three contests of the season with the Kings, with the last game scheduled for April 5th in Sacramento.

The U.S. government must structurally rework its domestic market as the Fed's third round of quantitative easing (QE3) was a necessary and successful, but only stop-gap, measure to stimulate the economy, according to Arthur Sculley, a senior fellow at the Center for Emerging Market Enterprises at the Fletcher School. The institute, which is affiliated with Tufts University, was established in 2007 as the first professional graduate school of international relations in the U.S.
"[Such measures] ease the pain, but they don't solve the problem," Sculley said in a recent interview with the Korea JoongAng Daily. "They're necessary, but by far the more important issue is structural change, which has been needed in the U.S., and in Europe in particular."
Sculley was visiting the Korean campus of the State University of New York in Songdo, Incheon, to give a lecture.

RE: My pro-Apple rant - Everyone loves an underdog
by zima on Thu 24th Jan 2013 17:08 UTC in reply to "My pro-Apple rant - Everyone loves an underdog"
Apple's perhaps most underrated move was switching to Intel
I don't know if underrated, it was rather ~loud. BTW, an interesting bit of info: the "Pepsi CEO" thought that not going to Intel in the 90s was one of his biggest mistakes: http://www.macworld.co.uk/mac/news/?newsid=7045
While iPod was fast becoming the must-have consumer item
Not really so ...maybe in a few atypical (very affluent, and visible) markets. But even there: a lot of people don't seem to realise how slow start the iPod had:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ipod_sales_per_quarter.svg - it really became big only in 2005. And that was a time when most of the world was already leapfrogging dedicated audio players, going the mobile phone route (in 2007 or so I read a report about how ~20% of European mobile subscribers uses their phones for music consumption - that alone already means more people than all iPods ever made)
And you know, Apple might be hated because of how it acts (now that it can afford it) ...and how some of its supporters behave, now that Apple is not an underdog. I was a bit of a supporter and promoter of Apple, for a time - but I stopped doing that, mostly to not be associated with such people.

Abstract. We study the inflence of global, local and community-level risk perception on the extinction probability of a disease in several mod- els of social networks. In particular, we study the infection progression as a susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model on several modular net- works, formed by a certain number of random and scale-free communi- ties. We find that in the scale-free networks the progression is faster than in random ones with the same average connectivity degree. For what concerns the role of perception, we find that the knowledge of the infection level in one's own neighborhood is the most e ective property in stopping the spreading of a disease, but at the same time the more expensive one in terms of the quantity of required information, thus the cost/e ectiveness optimum is a trade of etween several parameters. Key words: risk perception, SIS model, complex networks

Lunch With the Teacher
Students bid on teacher-made lunches in today's puzzle.
Copyright © 2002-2018
All-Star Puzzles
All rights reserved
One of the highlights of last Thursday's Summerset Middle School fund-raising auction was Lunch With the Teacher, where each of five teachers, including Ms. Benson, offered to prepare and share a lunch this Tuesday with the winning student bidder. As it turned out, each lunch will contain a different kind of sandwich, a different type of fruit (one an apple), and a different dessert (one a Krispy Kreme donut) for the teacher and student to enjoy. At auction, the five lunches sold for five different bids. Can you solve this hard Logic Puzzle by determining how much each lunch sold for, the teacher who will make it, the subject he or she teaches, and the lunch contents: sandwich, fruit, and dessert?
The lunch containing the peach isn't Mr. Eakins' and doesn't include the peanut butter sandwich.
The phy ed teacher's lunch sold for twice as much as Mr. Armour's did.
Three of the teachers--the English teacher, the one who is making tuna salad sandwiches, and the one who likes an orange for lunch--are taking their student buyers onto the playground for a picnic as an extra treat.
Mr. Eakins' lunch sold for twice as much as the history teacher's lunch, which went for $1 more than the lunch offering a peanut butter sandwich.
The lunch having M & M's for dessert, which isn't the phy ed teacher's, went for a higher bid than the one featuring grapes as fruit, which isn't the one offered by Mr. Deberg.
At auction, 8th grader Lisa Lewis paid $3 more for Ms. Chavez' lunch than 7th grader Ben Micelli paid for the math teacher's.
The chocolate cupcakes aren't the dessert in the phy ed teacher's lunch.
The roast beef sandwich lunch went for twice the amount that the lunch with the peach did.
Mr. Armour, who isn't the history teacher, isn't the one who is making ham & cheese sandwiches for lunch.
The lunch containing the chocolate cupcake sold for $3 more than the science teacher's lunch, which isn't the one featuring the tuna salad sandwiches.
The smoked turkey sandwiches and the Oreo cookies are in two different lunches.
Neither Mr. Eakins nor the history teacher is bringing roast beef sandwiches for lunch.
The lunch featuring vanilla pudding for dessert, which isn't the one being made by Ms. Chavez and doesn't have ham & cheese sandwiches in it, garnered a higher auction bid than the lunch containing the bananas.
The five lunches netted Summerset Middle a total of $57, with the one selling for the least sum going for a bid of $6.

Foobar2000 runs perfectly under WINE on Linux and OS X [github.com]. I have been using it for years without any problems. So far, the only flaw I have found is that it does not find new music placed into your media folder after it finishes scanning for new files during start-up, so you have to restart the thing to help it find music just added.
For values of "perfectly" that include pops, clicks, distortion, and lack of 24-bit support, in my experience.
Foobar2000's big win is in its music library handling. You can view it by folder, by genre, by artist, by album artist, or make up your own sort criteria (including sorting by any tag that you might define). Nothing else I've tried even comes close.
Regarding your base question, foobar2000 is simply an extremely powerful, sufficiently minimalistic, extremely easy to use and extremely configurable music player with a clean interface and support for every format I can think of, including esoteric Amiga tracker stuff. In it I can also organize and control music by superior means to any other program I know of, by the virtue of its easily macro-able tagging and renaming functions.

WEYMOUTH – Ten-year-old Sam Vinton sported red-framed sunglasses all summer as he and other special-needs students took part in the Weymouth Recreational Department's Exceptional program.
The program's director, Elaine Shea, gave him the glasses during the seven-week program, which combined outdoor activities with indoor activities like jazzercise and yoga. Shea said being in the program had helped Sam develop a vocabulary and the ability to interact with others.
Shea, who has been leading the Exceptional program for 14 years, said she is one of the oldest people working in summer recreation programs on the South Shore.
"It is a family. This is my fountain of youth," she said. "Not too many people my age would still be in recreation, but it's fun to see people having a great time."
She has known most of the students in the Exceptional program since they were in kindergarten.
"I've known their families for years," Shea said. "They feel it's a safe place for them (the children). Their kids are happy."
Program participants who have Down syndrome have trouble enunciating vowels began calling her Grandma years ago, and the name has stuck.
The oldest participant this year, Jimmy Ryan, 22, started participating 15 years ago.
"I love it," Ryan said. "It feels good to get outside and become more physically fit. Not many programs can do special education. I feel bad for other towns that don't have a program."
Sara Getman, 14, is a junior volunteer in the program. Her twin brother, Sam, is a participant. She said her experience having a sibling with special needs helped her as an Exceptional counselor.
"I'm one of the toughest here," she said. "I treat them as a normal person."
Participant Adam Estano, 16, of Weymouth said the program gave him "something to do. Some summers in the past I did nothing all summer."
He said one of his friends in the program had been picked on at school by other students.
"Kids take advantage of them (students with special needs)," he said, adding that teachers don't intervene often enough.
Mary Perriello, 20, a counselor in the program, said, "The older kids like to help the younger kids. They have a purpose."

2008 Cross Country
Bluffton at Cedarville Invite
Beavers show improvement at Friendship Invitational
Sept. 22, 2008
Men's Results I Women's Results
CEDARVILLE, Ohio - The Bluffton University cross country teams traveled to Cedarville University for the 18th annual Friendship Invitational on Saturday, September 20, 2008. Great weather at Cedarville and a productive week of practice allowed the Beavers to shave considerable amounts off time off their season-opening performances at Defiance on Sept. 13.
Junior Sarah Binkley (Bluffton/Cory-Rawson) paced the Bluffton University women's team as she improved her time to 22:49.83 and placed 66th overall. Freshman Heather Smith (Elkhart, Ind./Concord) finished 79th and crossed the line at 23:26.93. Rachel Huelsman (Celina/Coldwater) improved her time to 25:52.55, placing 104th overall. Senior Deborah Davis (Seneca, Penn./Christian Life Academy) was not far behind in 106th with a time of 26:09.82. Rachel Giovarelli (Wauseon/Pettisville) was the last Beaver to cross the line for her team with a time of 28:50.21. The women's squad showed great improvement, dropping nearly a minute off its average time from the Defiance Invitational a week ago.
Freshman Andrew Chaffee (Clarkston, Mich./Clarkston) led the Bluffton University men's team for the second straight week. Chaffee crossed the line at 29:53.83 and placed 79th. Senior Justin Derringer (Brookville/Brookville) was the next Beaver across the finish in 31:54.31 and he placed 103rd. Teammate Brian Timpe (Wauseon/Pike-Delta-York) was right behind Derringer with a time of 32:24.70. for 104th overall. Ben Siebert (Celina/Celina) clocked in 107th place with a time of 33:13.19. Junior Collin Wagner (Pettisville/Pettisville) rounded out the men's placers with a time of 35:38.07, good for 117th overall. The men's team average was 32:36.82 at the Cedarville Invitational.
Following a week off, the Beavers return to action Saturday, October 4th, when they travel to Earlham College. The meet is slated to start at 11 a.m.

Paul Miller on Becoming the Gospel
This is our third question and answer post with Paul Miller. (Read the first and second.)
Can you give us a summary of Sonship, the discipleship course you helped put together?
I designed the Sonship course over a period of ten years from '83-'93, but the core of it was formed in the mid-80s. Half of the sixteen lectures was dad's and the other half was split between my mom and myself. World Harvest continued to refine the course after I left in '97.
The heart of the Sonship course is the gospel applied to my life. We begin to mature as Christians by realizing that we don't have it all together. So the very thing that we avoid like the plague—our weakness and our sin—is the door to grace in our lives. The church has tended to drift into legalism because it tends to isolate the gospel to salvation and not see it as the foundation to the whole life.
The only thing I would add to the Sonship course is a simple slogan: we believe and become the gospel. Not that we literally become the gospel, but we tend to miss the grand Pauline theme of entering into Jesus. The gospel isn't something simply abstract that you believe, it is something that you enter. (I mention this theme in chapter 25 of A Praying Life. That chapter is really the heart of the book.)
For instance, in Colossians 1:24 Paul writes, "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church." What does Paul mean?
It isn't that complicated. Jesus' death for my wife Jill is finished. It is a once-for-all death. Now for Jill to understand and experience the gospel in her life, I need to live a dying life in relationship to her. Jesus can't die again for her, but I can—in hundreds of big and small ways that range from a tender compassion that understands her world to a thoughtful honesty that risks her disapproval. The result is that my life is characterized by dying and resurrection (Philippians 2:1-11). The result? An obedient life that reflects the image of Jesus.

More often than not, practicing patience and making safe choices will help you yield fantasy gold.
Still, it's not as satisfying to taunt your defeated co-workers after you blandly chose one of the Sedin twins in the first round. One of the great siren calls of any draft or waiver wire pickup is the pursuit of the super-clever choice.
A lot of times you might regret reaching a bit too far with that big hockey brain of yours, but when it comes to interchangeable depth spots, it's often worth it to go the low-risk, high-reward route.
David Booth's tearful journey to Vancouver could be a great example of that phenomenon.
In most cases, Florida Panthers "stars" usually flame out after they leave the team. Laugh all you want, but there were plenty of experts who strongly believed that players like Jay Bouwmeester and Olli Jokinen were diamonds in the rough.
Booth hasn't even been a gem in Florida lately, though. He generated a career-high 31 goals and 60 points in 2008-09 but simply hasn't been the same dangerous scorer since Mike Richards rocked him with a "legal" hit in 2009-10.
Scoring 23 goals and playing all 82 games ranked as promising signs last season, but a 40-point output cannot be called anything but disappointing – especially considering the contract Booth received. Things got really dire this season, though, as he managed a lonely point in six ineffectual games. That poor production prompted GM Dale Tallon to make his millionth trade with Vancouver, leading Booth to gently weep.
So the question is: will you cry tears of joy in early April thanks to your deft decision to bring Booth into the fold?
Frankly, if Booth's production ends up making or breaking your season, then your team isn't very good. (Either that or you're in the kind of ultra-competitive league that borders on the unhealthy.) Still, there's reason to believe that the Michigan-born power forward can turn his season around.
It's conceivable that he'll score more goals if he keeps firing away; Booth sent 280 shots on net last season. If he connects on a higher rate than the mediocre 8.2 shooting percentage he registered last season, he could flirt with 30 goals.
The assists should come a whole lot easier alongside superior teammates, too. If he slides into the second line as expected, he'll eventually have Ryan Kesler as his center. With all due respect to routinely underrated center Stephen Weiss, there's no one on the Panthers roster who can match Kesler's skill or fire.
Of course, Booth will face far more pressure and scrutiny if he continues to flop like he did in Florida. That's bad news for the Canucks, who are on the hook for his expensive deal, but the good news is that you can erase that mistake by simply clicking the "drop" button.
Then you can just move on to the next get fantasy rich quick scheme.
More Booth trade fallout
So what's the fantasy impact for the other prominent players (sorry Steven Reinprecht) in the Booth trade? Let's take a look.
1. Cody Hodgson is the big loser – it seemed like the Canucks prospect was finally getting a real chance to make an impact in Vancouver, but he's starting to smell like Michael Grabner 2.0.
2. Mikael Samuelsson gets a downgrade in the quality of his teammates, but will probably be more of a go-to guy in Florida. He might even get time at the power play point, but the Panthers are such a work in progress that there's no guarantee. "Sammy" scored almost 50 goals in his two seasons with the Canucks, so he should at least be on your "watch list" now.
3. Marco Sturm is broken. Stay far, far away from the fragile German.
Is Phil for real?
It's not like Phil Kessel was just some random guy last season, even if he received the indignity of being chosen last in the All-Star draft. Still, there's no denying that it's surprising that he scored 8 goals and 14 points in just 7 games so far.
So can he keep it up?
No, he's not going to connect on 32 percent of his shots for the rest of the season. Still, with this outstanding head start, it's reasonable to expect a 40-goal season and perhaps 70+ points. For that reason, you should follow Corey Abbott's advice and try to scoop up some of his table scraps in the form of forgotten soul Joffrey Lupul.
That other trade
Don't expect much direct fantasy impact from Montreal acquiring Petteri Nokelainen and Garrett Stafford. Maybe that move will light a fire under the team's star players, though - at least the ones who aren't injured, that is.
Blue in Columbus
Vinny Prospal has been adamant that efforts don't trump results. Anyone who drafted Steve Mason probably agrees, since Columbus' should-be franchise guy is an appalling 0-7-1.
Interestingly enough, Propsal is one of two Blue Jackets forwards who is putting up good numbers in an awful situation. Prospal and Rick Nash have eight points each, making them … well, diamonds in the rough. Nash is obviously more likely to keep this up, but Prospal might be worth a look to fill one of your depth spots. (If he doesn't snap and turn into Michael Douglas in "Falling Down," that is.)
Fantasy owners will be interested to take a look at the potential impact of James Wisniewski's suspension-delayed debut, but expect more on that subject on Tuesday.
Drew Doughty remains in a holding pattern
Buried in all of the past summer's negotiation drama was the fact that Doughty wasn't really his all-world self last season. The 2011-12 campaign hasn't been much friendlier so far, as the Los Angeles Kings star is struggling with a shoulder injury. It's unclear if he'll play at all this week, so keep an eye on updates.
Monstrous replacement
James Reimer suffered a minor neck injury against the Canadiens last weekend, leaving the team at the mercy of Jonas Gustavsson's goaltending. Maple Leafs fans aren't exactly sold on "The Monster," but this is one of the big Swede's last chances to really prove himself in the eyes of the Toronto brass and maybe the league as a whole.
(Only give him the same chance on your own team if you're really desperate.)
David Backes is feeling a little better after getting crushed
Chris Pronger has haunted St. Louis in a figurative way for years since he departed for greener pastures. He affected the team in a more direct way on Saturday by clobbering captain David Backes. It's unclear how long Backes will be injured, but the valuable power forward should be sore for quite a while.
Injury snipes
Let's all hope that Peter Mueller can get his career back on track because his latest concussion-related setback is really upsetting … Ales Hemsky should be an honorary Edmonton Oilers trainer at this point … Jose Theodore better get healthy quick; the Jacob Markstrom bandwagon is approaching rapidly in his rear-view mirror … Scott Gomez will be out for a week and no, it wasn't due to an injury related to carrying all the gobs of cash he's receiving … Jacob Josefson will miss months after undergoing surgery on his broken clavicle, making the Devils even more dependent on Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise … Tyler Ennis hurt his ankle while Zbynek Michalek injured his hand in other injury news from Saturday ... many of these players will be re-evaluated on Monday, so stick with Rotoworld for updates. (Click here for the full injury list.)
Demotions, scratches and cold streaks
Theo Peckham is becoming a regular healthy scratch thanks to Corey Potter's rise and the return of Ryan Whitney, but he could still be worthwhile for PIMs if he can get back on the ice ... Mark Scheifele was demoted to the juniors after seven largely ineffective games; consider this the beginning of a long trail of prospects being sent to juniors or the minors since the entry-level deadline is coming up for many franchises ... Should the Patrick Kane as a center experiment finally end? He hasn't scored in his last three games and most importantly, it just seems weird.

US futures rebound on healthy jobs report
- Associated Press
- December 7, 2012 - 8:06 AM
NEW YORK - U.S. stock futures rose on a surprisingly strong jobs report Friday that showed the unemployment rate dropping and the nation adding 146,000 jobs in November.
Dow Jones industrial futures rose 64 points to 13,127. The broader S&P futures tacked on 5.2 points to 1,418.60. Nasdaq futures gained 12 points to 2,666.
The futures indicators had been lower before the report.
The unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent, the lowest level since December 2008, when the recession took a nasty downward turn.
However, the Labor Department revised previously released numbers, saying that employers added 49,000 fewer jobs in October and September than initially estimated.

Nokia reinvigorates Wireless Power Consortium
Without using any wires, obviously
The world's largest mobile-phone manufacturer has joined the Wireless Power Consortium, giving the organisation some much-needed credibility to go with its new logo.
Wireless power remains a solution looking for a problem, but now at least it has Nokia joining in the search for a reason to exist with the Consortium's chair heralding Nokia's membership as a "new dimension", but even the Finns will have a hard time convincing us that we need wireless charging.
The announcement is important for the Consortium, which has been dusting off its logo and arguing its case. Last week a new white paper came out arguing that punters are desperate for the inductive-charging technologies that the Wireless Power Consortium is ideally placed to provide.
Unfortunately the arguments in the paper are based on the fact that users want a single charging solution, which is true. But Micro USB has already been adopted as that single standard even if it's still only used on a handful of devices today.
Users might like the idea of wireless charging, and it is a nice concept, but that's not enough - users need to like it enough to spend £44.11 on the Palm Pre's Touchstone wireless charger, not to mention the $200 Dell is asking for the wireless charger for its latest Latitude laptop.
Most wireless charging systems replace the back panel with an inductive coil, or provide a case that wraps around the device and connects to its existing socket - the PowerMat wrap for the iPhone, ready for UK launch later this month, is typical at $40 plus $100 for the charging mat.
So that's $140 to avoid having to plug in your iPhone, which you'll have to do to synchronise your iTunes anyway - you've got to really hate plugs to shell out that kind of money.
Phones are, of course, packed full of technology that users never asked for, but for the most part they've not been asked to pay for it either - at least not at the point of sale. Cameras were embedded to sell Multimedia Messaging, while Bluetooth helps the bottom line through headset sales. Shops might make a few quid selling charging mats but it's hard to imagine them lobbying operators to mandate the technology (as they did for Bluetooth).
So Nokia has joined the Consortium, which is a significant endorsement, but unless Nokia suddenly embedded Qi technology into hundreds of handset models wireless charging will remain cool-but-pointless and expensive, unless Apple decides to get involved of course. ®

English club Middlesbrough have announced that former Real Madrid assistant manager Aitor Karanka will take over as their head coach.
Aitor Karanka has been unveiled as the new manager of Middlesbrough. The former Real Madrid player has signed a two-and-half year contract at the club.
The 40-year-old has previously worked under Jose Mourinho while in charge of Real Madrid. Karanka spent three years as the Portuguese's assistant and left once the new regime was brought in under Carlo Ancelotti.
Karanka had this to say: "This is a very important day for me and I'm delighted to join a club with such big facilities and support.
"It is my time, I know I am ready. I've worked for three years with Jose and he was supporting me every day and I learned so much.
"I spoke to him and he recommended me to come here - he too believes in this project."
Karanka has had no previous first team management experience but comes in heavily backed by Mourinho.
"I know him very, very well. I think the club that gets him, whether in England or another country, will be a lucky club," Mourinho was reported saying.
This move move sees Karanka making history by becoming Middlesbrough's first ever non-British boss.
"There were 100 applications and it was about finding a first-class coach, regardless of nationality, and I believe we have," explained Middlesbrough's chairman Steve Gibson.
The last manager in charge of Middlesbrough was Tony Mowbray who departed the club just last month. Mowbray's former assistant, Mark Venus, had been placed in charge temporarily.
Previous mangers in charge of the club included Steve McClaren, who took the club all the way to the final of the UEFA cup in 2006 and former player Gareth Southgate.
Middlesbrough are currently plying their trade in the Championship and are 16th on the log, just five points above the relegation zone.
Karanka's first objective in charge will be to get the club into the play-offs and back into the Premier League.
