Some fifteen Bethel students
spilled into Uncle John's Pancake
House Wednesday night, October
18 to watch Fred Swedberg devour
forty-one butter milk pancakes
topped alternately with maple and
strawberry syrup.
Swedberg had been preparing
for his assault on the record (49,
reputedly set by some arab in Cali-fornia)
for one day. Restraining
himself to liquids for twenty-four
hours, he made his appearance at
Uncle John's around 10:00 P.M.
Wednesday is forty-niner day at
Uncle John's — all the pancakes
you can eat for forty-nine cents.

Details of the annual Halloween
festivities were released early this
week. Plans for this year's party
are centered around a carnival
style format, with fieldhouse doors
opening for college age "trick 'n
treaters" at 7:30 p.m., this Satur-day,
October 28. Fieldhouse activi-ties
culminate in an hour program
which will begin shortly after 9
Sponsoring the event is the Stu-dent
Senate Social Committee. Co-chairmen
Dave Biddle and Clay
Carlson head the subcommittee in
charge of the activities.
The carnival set-up will feature
an admission-free Fun House in
addition to a number of booths. Be-sides
the usual trivia, booths will
offer major prizes to participants
this year, including such old favor-ites
as panda bears.
Three old time movies plus sev-eral
selections by a new campus
folk singing group comprise the
bulk of the evening's entertain-ment.
The campus group will sing
six numbers which include a
couple of original compositions.
Admission charge is 25c per per-son
and will help defray the ex-penses
incured by the annual Beth-el
Halloween spirit. Proceeds from
the refreshments will aid the sen-iors
in procuring funds for their
traditional gift to the school.
This Saturday night, following
the Halloween Carnival, Bethel's
iam Kling, and Kathy Long were all
witnesses to the incredible feat.
Attacking the pancakes five at
a time, Swedberg took a half-hour
break after the initial twenty-five.
The break ended, he battled on
through three more servings, his
grand offense grinding to a slug-gish
halt on pancake number 41.
The clock registered a bloated
12:30 A.M. when Swedberg rose
from his repast.
Though the Wednesday night
host, former Bethelite, Ralph Shep-ard,
was not available for corn-ment,
we were led to understand
that this is a record for the Rose-ville
branch of Uncle John's, and
probably for the Twin Cities.
Runner up to Swedberg was Lar-ry

by the Senate as a supplement to

twelve male singers from Carleton
College in Northfield.
They were here last year and
met with such enthusiasm that
they have been asked to return
and present another concert. They
have just recently finished a tour,
of the east coast, and should be
in "real fine shape."
Four members of the Minneapo-lis
Symphony, composing the Twin
Cities String Quartet will give a
free concert in the Bethel audi-torium
on Monday, October 30.
Members of the quartet are: John
Sambuce, 1st violin; John Hurt,
2nd violin; Robert Feit, viola; and
Paul Thomas, violincello.
Appearing with the quartet will

was able to down only 8 of they

Norman Lillberg, a former
Bethelite himself, currently at the
university, kept count as Swed-berg
did his work.
Bethel's Royal Players leave
Friday for their first weekend tour
of the year. Nearly twenty Beth-elites
will go north to Minnesota's
Iron Range to present "Verdict of
One" by Helen Kroemer. Jill Gra,

of her senior thesis production,
She and Dave Stagg are the first
seniors to graduate with a Drama

The play centers on the trial of
a young man tried for the murder
of a girl. Although he claims com-plete
innocence, it is revealed that
he and his father are part of a

Election Limits Franchise Dalton Rebuts Senator's Charges As
To Two System Candidates Deliberate Disregard ForActual Facts
More than ever before in the history of modern America,
this nation's citizen's will appear at the polls, come election
time next winter. The acceleration and increasing frequency
of national and international crises is drawing more and more
Americans into the arena of political affairs.
Many have defended the American system of election and
have compared it to such systems as exist in Russia. Naturally,
the American way comes off quite well in such a comparison.
But such a defence is ignorant of the basic criticism levelled
at the American election system.
Next year, the Republicans will attempt to wrest power
from the Democrats. The campaign will not be over what is
right and what is wrong. It will be an attempt to rally popular
disenchantment to the Republican camp. The Republican plat-form
will not consist of fresh new ideas or original programs
or an independent evaluation of the 'right'. It will be a plethora
of reaction to what the Democrats are attempting to do this
term. Resolutions adopted by the national convention will be
vague enough to attract the dissent; both Republican and Dem-ocrat.
And next term, the Democratic campaign will be largely
reactionary to the Republican stint (if the Republicans win next
The individual in high office has ceased to exist. The men
in high places are party men. They bear the stamp of a system
through which they have risen to the top. The days when men
led nations through sheer weight of personality have largely
come to a close.
The two party system may spawn competition like the free
enterprise system. But unfortunately, the two party system
has limited the American voter, realistically, to two alternatives ;
neither of them interested in the right apart from the fortunes
and misfortunes of their systems.
Sing Out Prompts Queries
Of The Inquiring Christian
Last week's feature article on Sing Out was designed to
acquaint the student with this group and its purpose. The
question that arises is, "Upon what criterion can a Christian
evaluate this group?" In an era when the Evangelical is waking
up to his social responsibility, he will often sanction many
movements and groups who claim a neutral and objective stand
on religious issues; Sing Out, backed by Moral Re-Armament
being just such a group. But what about their basic operating
tenant, that man is good in himself and is perfectable, at least
to a degree? Can a Biblical belief find this palatable? What
about Paul's words, "I do what I know I shouldn't and I don't
do that which I know I should. Therefore, I find this law in me...
Further, what about their use of emotions that has the
power of convincing hundreds of high schoolers, in one week,
to commit their energy and lives to the job of moral and pa-triotic
rejuvination in the world? Why aren't people flocking
after the idealism of the Christian ethic? Is it that the former,
by comparison, offers an easy road, a road that is supposed
to be one of high morals, tough to live by, but is really one of
glamor, travel, fame, and a source of self-satisfaction. What
is the "cost" of their "discipleship?"
Last, couldn't such a movement, if it follows through with
its plans to enlist the help of millions of the world's youth be
dangerous to the cause of evangelism? A generation caught up
in a pseudo-Gospel could convince itself that it doesn't need
anything more.
Patriotism and social responsibility is a message we need
to hear more of. But Sing Out's brand has the emotional power
to make it a substitute for a responsible relationship to Christ.

good letters forum is terse, dense, compact communication of
The CLARION appreciates the student response to the
paper in the letters department but wishes to make clear its
intent to keep the letters column from degenerating into a
jungle of verbage.
A rare phenomenon today is the clear cut statement of a
point of view. The letters column wishes to court the reactions
and points of view represented in the student body. It would
simply request that in keeping with the purposes of a letters
department, contributors limit their letters to a 250 word max-imum.
Any letters exceeding this length will not be printed in
toto unless special arrangement has been made with the editors.
Dear Editor:
Having failed in the Student
Senate, Mr. Sammons resorted to
the Clarion and with the same
lack of regard for the facts con-cerning
my letter to all students
(August 1, 1967) regarding dress
on campus.
In answer to a letter of protest
almost immediately following from
Mr. Sammons, I supplied him with
as complete a documentation as
possible to substantiate my state-ment
in the letter that the rec-ommendations
were arrived at af-ter
careful consideration by both
the Student Senate and the Facul-ty.
It is impossible to repeat that
documenation through the Clarion
but it is available for anyone's
perusal in the Dean of Students'
office. In fact, an almost identical
set of recommendations was pub-lished
by the Senate in 1959-60 in
a handbook (Responsum Regius).
The basic recommendations were
last published fully in 1963. An-nually
there have been emergen-cy
requests for minimal conformi-ty
by students as dress has deter-iorated
so as to become unaccecp-table
to even the least prudish
members of the immediate campus
community. May I quote from my
letter to Mr. Sammons:
"I have altered the last pub-lished
statements regarding dress
in only two or three ways. I
changed references to 'boys' and
`girls' to 'men' and `women'—giv-ing
evidence of my faith that Beth-
To the Editor:
How stale a sermon can be when
a preacher reads his text, explains
it semantically, doctrinally; then
closes his Bible and sits down,
whereupon the congregation is ex-pected
to file it away with all the
other sermons to be miraculously
pulled out when a situation arises
to which it can be applied.
Likewise, how stale an educa-tion
when the cream of American
youth spens thirty-six months or
more obtaining a BA degree and
then goes out on the job, expecting
and being expected to pull out and
apply the knowledge suited and
applicable to each situation. Can
this even be called an education?
My concern arises over the para-lyzing
cynicism that has gripped
and immobilized American youth,
Bethel students specifically.
Cynicism is a disease that festers
and grows in situations where
truth and idealism are sought, but
where there is no way a student
can apply his learning and crea-tivity.
Let me relate a personal
Last year at Bethel as a Christi-anity
major destined for a career
in Christian education, I spent nine
months analyzing the not so rosy
situation in the church. Along with
some thoughtful opinions, I hope,
and ideas for change, I had also
developed a bad case of smug,
biting cynicism toward the whole
thing. When summer came, my
church offered me a job in the
C. E. program.
After long consideration, I ac-cepted
and spent three months
working with people—all kinds of
people. And somewhere in the
whole process, my cynicism dis-appeared.
I learned again that arm

view of any situation, and robs it

el students will behave maturely,
if given some guidance as to what
may constitute maturity. Further-more,
I rejected the label 'Dress
Code' and referred to 'guidelines
rgarding propr dress on the cam-pus.'
This is in keeping, you will
notice, with the spirit of both
Faculty and Senate discussions of
what is indended by any state-ment.
Neither Faculty nor Senate min-utes
reflect it, but I consistently
opposed in both bodies the idea
of a code with sanctions. It is
my hope that the majority of our
students will catch the spirit of
the first paragraph of the Augus4
1 memorandum and that there will
not be a need for even conferring
privately with flagrant violators
—which, by the way, would be my
approach in working with those
whose individualism so inhibits
their sensitivity to community
well-being and interests.
As to leaving the matter to the
Senate, my recollection of the 1964
considerations is that the Dean of
Students and the Student Person-nel
Committee clearly informed the
Senate that if it did not act re-sponsibly
on the matter of dress
the Dean and the Committee would
be compelled to act for the well-being
of the Bethel community.
Miss , Starr, a long term member
of the Committee, confirms my
It is my hope that this informa-tion
will allay any of your fears
As I came back to Bethel, my
education took wing because I
had some experience to which it
could be applied. The worth of
such a discovery is far greater
than the larger salary I could
have drawn somewhere else. Beth-el
could be much more effctive in
producing positive creative, con-cerned,
and active Christian lea-ders
if they would instigate a pro-gram
of experienced learning of
some sort, where a student could
both study and practice his chosen'
field—before his senior year. Even
more than a new campus, I won-der
if this wouldn't be more valu-able.

Re: The Rape of The Lock
Once upon a time in a Bethel
Manor, there lived maidens—pure-ly.
(i.e., unadulterated; uncontam-inated;
undefiled; spotless; genu-ine;
chaste; and virtuous and un-corrupted.)
Many an enjoyable evening (af-ter
long hours of study) was spent
in the lounge in harmonious sis-terhood.

that I handle facts carelessly ..."
Bethel is an educational institu-tion.
If students come to dinner
in their barefeet, wearing cut-offs
and sloppy, soiled sweatshirts (or
if one appears in black suit, white
shirt, black bow tie, and white
sneakers), the matter of dress be-comes
an educational one — to say
nothing of good manners, good
taste, or the reaction of outsiders
— including the much maligned
bogey, the Conference.
Christian love and respect come
from the inner man so no member
of the campus community can be
"prevented from having a spirit
of Christian love and respect," as
suggested in Mr. Sammon's letter.
Whether it involves personal ap-pearance
or observance of parking
regulations, Romans 14:7-8 is rele-vant:
"We are not our own bosses
to live or die as we ourselves
might choose. Living or dying we
follow the Lord. Living or dying
we are His."

Pascal's Probability Theory Shows .
Surprising Odds In Common Chance
Got a buck in your jeans and a
hunch on a horse? Okay, go ahead
and bet. But first, maybe you
should bone up on a fascinating,
fast-growing branch of mathemat-ics
called "the thory of probabili-ty."
It may change your mind
about the odds you face.
The philosophical underpin-nings
of the probability theory
were set 300 years ago, a No-vember
Reader's Digest article
reports, when a gambler asked
the French mathematician and
philosopher Blaise Pascal how
to calculate the odds on certain
dice throws.
Pascal's computations have been
used since to determine matters
ranging from the esoteric — the
probable path of a neutron through
heavy water — to the everyday —
how many times you'll turn up
"heads" in flipping a coin.
Let's try the "everyday" ex-example
to see how the theory
works. Say you flip a coin three
times and each time it comes
up heads. Most people would say
the odds favored tails on the
next try. But dont bet on it. Ac-tually
no matter how many times
a flipped coin lands heads, the
probability of heads on the next
try remains one out of two.
For a more complex example,
/try the famous "birthday paradox."
Pick, say, 23 people at random.
The odds that any two of them
have the same birth date may
seem remote, but a c t u ally
the chances are a b out even.
With 30 people the probability of
such a match soars to seven chan
ces in ten. With 50 people, the
chances are 97 out of 100 that
two will have the same birthday.
Want to test this yourself? Go
through any "Who's Who" and
check 30 names at random. Sev-en
times out of ten you'll find
a pair of matching birthdates.
Here's another example. Sup-post
a married couple plans to
have four children. Are they more
likely to have two of each sex, or
three of one and one of the other?
Probably you'd guess two and two.
And you'd be wrong There are 16
possible combinations (and if you
want to drive yourself quietly
craby try listing all 16). Of these,
only six offer a two-two split.
Eight sequences offer a three-one
split, and two are four-zero.

Liberalism Perpetrates Overextension
Of National Resources - Moynihan
"American liberalism needs to
bring its commitments into bal-ance
with its resources — overseas
and at home," says Daniel P. Moyn-ihan,
Director of the Joint Cen-ter
for Urban Studies of M.I.T.
and Harvard.
Its failure thus far to do so —
and its consequent failure to de-liver
on its overly ambitious un-dertakings
— are largely respon-sible,
he contends, for the disil-lusionment
that has prompted to-day's
widespread radical protest
of American youth, and such signs
of danger as rioting cities and
turbulent campuses.
"Unthinking encouragement o f
bloated expectation leads young
persons to compare forecast with
outcome and to conclude hypocrisy
and duplicity are at work," writes
the former Kennedy Administra-tion
official in the opening article
in the special Youth Issue of THE
"What is asked of us is honesty;
and what that requires is a great
deal more rigor in matching our
performance to our standards. It
is now the only way to maintain
the credibility of those standards...
"There is altogether too much
that is shoddy and derivative, and
in the final sense dishonest, about
American life . .. The foundations
of popular confidence in our sys-tem
are proving to be nothing so
solid and enduring as the confident
Reports of mass student involve-ment
with the illicit drugs mari-juana
and LSD are wildly exag-gerated,
according to the Gallup
Only about six percent of the
nation's college students have ever
tried marijuana and not more than
one percent have experimented
with LSD, according to a survey
of students in 426 colleges by the
noted pollster
The poll was taken by Dr. George
Gallup's American Institute of
Pulic Opinion for the Reader's Di-gest;
results are published in the
magazine's November issue out Oc-tober
For all the outcry about drugs
on campus, a majority—fifty-one
percent — of the students ques-tioned
said that they did not even
know a single student who had
tried marijuana or LSD. And they
estimated with reasonable accura-,
cy that only about four percent
of those on their own campus had
tried drugs.
However, when asked how many
of their fellow collegians across
the nation used drugs, the stu-dents
interviewed jumped their es-timates
to a very high 13 per-cent.
This higher guess for "out-side"
campuses could be a reflec-tion

"A sign on your land is
worth two in the brush."
liberal establishment has sup-posed."
Youth's tumultuous protests have
been generated, says Mr. Moyni-han,
by such phenomena as:
1. Our involvement in " an in-creasingly
dangerous and costly
effort" to extend the American
system abroad, in consequence of
"our optimism, belief in progress,
and the possibility of achieving
human happiness on earth . . .The
irony, of course, is that it is just
because our own history has been
so unique that we are led to sup-pose
that the system that has em-erged
from it can be made world-wide.
It is an effort doomed to fail
. . . . Liberals have simply got to
restrain their enthusiasm for civil-izing
2. The "ugly fact" that, even as
we undertake to diffuse abroad
the values of liberal democracy,
"those values are not yet genuinely
secure at home . . . There per-sists
in American opinion a pow-erful
component that is illiberal,
irrational, intolerant, anti-intellec-tual,
and capable if unleashed of
doing the most grievous damage
to the fabric of our society. A cen-tury
of education has not destroyed
this tendency, it has only made it
more articulate."
Mr. Moynihan suggests that the
bizarre behaviour of the hippies
and other youth-in-revolt signals
something more important than
just another demonstration of the
"old bohemianism" and the "never-ending
conflict of generations."
Today's youthful rebels against
society, he says, may be embarked
upon "the first heresies of liber-alism,"
somewhat after the manner
of earlier groups of religious her-etics
to whom they bear certain
resemblances—including the Chris-tians
of Second Century Rome who
were "bad citizens, refusing public
employment and avoiding service
in the army — They had no tem-ples,
no altars, no images, and
boasted just that . . . Of learning
they had little and cared less. Nog
had they any great interest in re-spectable
people who observed the
rules of society and tried to keep
it running, they cared only for the
outcast and miserable. To be a
sinner, they seemed to say, was the
one sure way to be saved. They
were altogether of a seditious and
revolutionary character."
We must listen to the complaints
of protesting youth, Mr. Moynihan
declares, and respond construct-ively.
Yet, he adds:
"The belief of the liberal in due
process, in restraint, in the rule
of law . . . involves the most pro-found
perception of the nature of
human society that has yet been
achieved . . . It is not a belief to
be frittered away in deference to a
mystique of youth."
While some college students
find that it takes all their time
being responsible for just one in-dividual,
themselves, others find
that they can ably assume respon-sibility
for more.
Two such persons are seniors,
Don Lindberg and Rick Welch,
who have positions as "night coun-selors"
with 15 young boys at
the Murray - Schmidt - Bremmer
home in St. Paul.
Located at 855 W. 7th St. the
home is a division of Children's
Services of St. Paul and is a ben-eficiary
of the United Fund.
Presently living in the home are
13 young boys from 8-14 years in
age. They are "classified as being
emotionally disturbed, and have
had discipline problems at home
and at school," explains Don.
"Some have police records,"
he continues, "but the kids seem
pretty normal." Don feels that be-ing
under supervision modifies
their behavior a good deal. "Six
months is the shortest period thatl
a boy stays at the home while the
usual time is two years." During
his stay, a boy is guided by the
home's two full-time counsellors
and his • own caseworker.
Don and Rick constitute the
night staff at Murray-Schmidt-
Bremmer. Their only "real re-sponsibility
is to be there from
11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.,' but "just
being there" is not always such
an easy assignment. "One night
about three o'clock," recalls Rick
"the police called to say they had
five of our boys in custody. They
had been missing since afternoon."
Assuming night-time responsi-bilities
also means getting up at
night with sick boys, and this hap- ,
pens with some frequency say Don
and Rick. "A lot of the time, it's
just a mommy-kind of attention
that they want, but then, too, it
might be something serious.
That's what scares me the worst.
Last night, for instance, somebody
sprayed something in one boy's
eyes. What can you do but tell
him to wash it out."
Rick feels that the boys like
their counselors, but that they are
afraid to show it, and so they act
in a negative way. "They'll throw
comments as you walk down the
hall like 'Creepy clothes,' or 'How
come you're so fat?' " Don feels,
however, that "it's easier for them
to identify with us because we're
closer to their ages and not pro-fessionals."
Rick describes the feeling of his
responsibility as being a "kind of
unconscious tension . . . A lot of
things could happen "but for the
responsibility there are rewards—
a place to stay and food. If it
weren't this responsibility, it
would be another one."
As a living arrangement, the set-up
is advantageous, both Don and
Rick agree. They feel it is a good
opportunity for them, and one
from which other Bethel students
could profit.

Part Time Sociology InstructorAttests
To Role Of Wife As Mrs. Minnesota
The "changing role of women"
on the American scene is a sub-ject
that can adequately be han-dled
by Mr. Eugene Heuer, a part-time
sociology instructor at Beth-el
this semester.
His wife, Marilyn, is the reigning
"Mrs. Minnesota," and she did not
win that title solely on her hands-and
knees abilities, or for her
flaky crusts. These criteria are
simply assumed nowadays, says
Mr. Heuer, with competition more
on the basis of community and civ-ic
Civic activities do indeed involve
Mrs. Heuer. As a professional sing-er,
she has become affiliated with
a number of music-oriented groups.
These include: the St. Paul Civic
Opera; the Schubert Club, in which
she is also an active artist; the
Thursday Musical of Minneapolis;
the Inter-Club Council of St. Paul;
and the St. Paul Arts and Science
Council. Besides this, both she and
her husband are members of the
Roseville Central Park Foundation,
and of the Lutheran Church of
the Resurrection (Roseville) wherEI
they are active.
Mrs. Heuer first came into con-tact
with the Mrs. Minnesota con-
Leonard Sammons, sole voice to
be heard in the Student Senate,
has made known through various
sources that he has plans to cut
a record sometime in the near fu-ture.
Songs which he is presently
considering as possibilities for
his first cut include: "Some-where
My Love, More, Count Me
In, Mr. Lonely, That's Life, I
Wonder If She Loves Me, Dream,
and The Impossible Dream." His
business manager, cum arranger,
cum accompanist, David J. Nel-son
announced that Sammons
might record "'Count Me In"
with "Somewhere My Love' on
the flip side of his recent hit.
Word from the royalty compan-ies
indicate that they will require
two cents royalty for every forty
five record side.
His business manager stated
that they intend to produce eith-er
200 or 100 records of his first
cut for distribution on the cam-pus.
Leonard Sammons hopes
the cost of these records can be
kept under $1.
Recording companies which are
presently being considered for the
contract are: Dove Recording Stu-dios,
Kay Ank Recording Corpora-tion,
and Mark Lee Productions
Rumor has it that Sammons
will open up a stock corporation
for those interested in support-ing
the venture. No definite
plans were available to the
test about six years ago. "A friend
of hers," explains her husband',
"became Mrs. Minnesota and later
suggested that my wife try. For
five years she had been receiving
applications, but had never done
anything with them until one day
last January."
"On that day, while cleaning
house, she came across an appli-cation,
and decided to fill it out,
just meeting the deadline. Minne-sota
is one of the states which
does not have live competition
complete with regional elimina-tions.
Preliminary and final judg-ings
thus, were made on the ba-sis
of a lengthy questionnaire
and personal interviews, with an
emphasis on outside-the-home ac-tivities.
National competition for the
Mrs. America title took place in
San Diego, California last May,
and "thank goodness she didn't
make it," comments her husband.
"I think every husband there was
secretly hoping his wife woud not
win, as that would mean so much
time away from her home."
To be certain, a state-wide win-ner
has many functions. "As Mrs.
Minnesota, Marilyn has been asked
CLARION, however. Reports in-dicate
that the corporation will
be called L. Ray Enterprises.
Bill Weigel of Third New, Ed-gren
has agreed to design the
cover packet, and Rich Swanson
and Warren Magnuson have agreed
to do the recording for the artist.
The record, slated for release
sometime between Thanksgiving
and Christmas will be preceded
by a personal concert appear-ance
on campus.
His business manager indicated
that he will not be available for
appearance on such programs as
the Johnny Carson show, or the
Joey Bishop Show, because of his
senatorial duties on campus.
The first record will be a pub-lic

to appear at a variety of communi-ty
festivals, and has spoken to
numbers of organizations and
groups. However, many of the
things she's had to do, we, as a
family, can do. When she partici-pates
in parades, for instance, the
whole _family appears together.
Events in the national competi-tion
were diversified to say the
least, and emphasized the well-rounded
individual. There were
two cooking events, one, the prep-aration
of an original pancake reci-pe,
and two, the serving of a meal
to one of San Diego's fire chiefs ;
all of whom acted as chauffeurs
to the candidates during their 11-
day stay.
A second event centered around
shopping: how easily each candi-date
could stay with a ten-dollar
maximum; how she made out her
grocery list; how she packed her
grocery basket; and how long the
entire process took.
A candidate's selection and mod-eling
of clothes were also judged
as well as her ability to under-,
stand stocks and bonds and money
matters. Also each candidate was
given five minutes with a five-year:
old child to see how well she
could establish communication
with this person. Gift-wrapping,
room-designing, automobile hand-ling
and planning of parties for
young children, young people, and
adults, were other judging criteria:
At home, much of the Heuer's
activities center around music. Mr.
Heuer, although he doesn't claim
any special musical talent, enjoys
music greatly. He built the hapsi-chord
around which the family is
pictured. "Although my greatest
ambition previous to this was
building a bird house," he said,
a New York company gave him a
start by selling him the plans and
materials to build the instrument.
Other hobbies of Mr. Heuer in-clude
model railroading and golf.
He also loves camping, and his
wife does not, but can a man ask
for everything?

The Bethel Soccer Club has now played in two intercol-legiate
games, and have shown us that they have the potential
to do a good job for our school. I'm sure that many do not
know very much about how the game is played. Thus, I would
like to give you a rundown as to how it works, so that you
might be better equipped to be a spectator at the games. The
soccer club also needs your support.
In contrast to most American games, soccer is played
primarily with the feet. Other parts of the body, such as the
head, chest, abdomen, thighs, and shins, are also brought
into use. With the exception of the goalkeeper, however,
the use of hands and arms is strictly prohibited.
The game is started at the half-way line within the center
circle by means of a center kick. The teams are composed of 11
men, who attempt to advance the ball toward the opponent's
goal with the purpose of scoring a field goal by propelling the
ball across the goal line, between the uprights, and under the
In our games, there is either two thirty minute halves
or four fifteen minute quarters. There is a one-minute inter-mission
between the first and third quarters, and a five min-ute
intermission at the half.
The eleven players comprising a soccer team consist of
3 forwards, 2 outside wings, 3 halfbacks, 2 fullbacks, and a
goalkeeper. The forwards and outside wings comprise the of-fense,
while the halfbacks, fullbacks, and goalkeeper play de-fense.
To play the game well, one must develop physical stam-ina
and excellent neuro-muscular coordination, intellectual
alertness and the ability to make adjustments to rapidly
changing situations, emotional control and gentlemanly con-duct,
and social graces which promote good interpersonal
Passing and defense is the key to success in this rapidly

WE DID IT!!! The Bethel Royals
traveled to Wisconsin to achieve
their first victory after five set-backs.
The Northwestern team
didn't read the script right in the
first half, but later found out that
Bethel was destined to win.
In the first quarter, Bethel
moved the ball to the Northwest-ern

yards in thirteen plays. It was at
this point the antagonist missed
their cue. They intercepted a Se-lander
play and ran it up to the
It was then the same old story
of using sheer force to push
through the Bethel defensive line.
The 60 yard drive was climaxed
by a five yard pass into the end
zone. The extra point was good
to give the home team a seven-love
score. For the rest of the
first two acts, the plot was thin
as neither team mounted much
of a scoring threat.
In act three, there was a big
turning point in what had by this
time become a tense drama. The
Bethel defense held. Then Murray

a Northwestern pass. From the en-emy

Dave Moss and Jack Campbell as
Director Al Selander threw in
a few passes to John Carmean and
Dave Pound to keep the bad guys
on their toes. A pass interference
penalty helped the team to the
fifteen. John Carmean then held
a reception on the three yard line
for the backfield men who would
finish the drive. Jack Campbell
took the ball to the two.
Dave Moss carried next and left
the ball on the quarterinch line
for Selander to take into the end
zone. Then the antagonist set up
a formidable obstacle for our
heroes by preventing an extra
point. Northwestern - 7, Bethel - 6.
We were only number two, so we
had to try harder.

tensions were beginning to mount

boys thought so. After all, they

We find the defense holding up
wonderfully. In fact the whole line

didn't need to do much cuing from

Last Saturday morning, October
21, the Bethel Soccer Club played
Luther Seminary to a 2-2 stand-still
in a closely matched duel.
The Seminarians put through
their two goals in the first half
before the Royals emerged as a
united team. Getting the feel of
the ball, the team was able to
keep the ball cornered on their
opponents' side of the field.
During the second half, Bethel's
offense moved in strongly against
the Luther defense. Center for-ward,
Jim Liew set up the two
plays which resulted in scores by
Rich Swanson, left wing, and Rick
Brumpton left inner.
With the score tied, the Royal
missed several near chances to win
the game, the clock finally rescu-ing

has shown increasing ability and
accomplishment in the last two
home meets. The first, a quad-rangular

Gustavus Adolphus and Hamline
on October 14, saw Bethel drub=

team who gave good perform-ances
were Richard Swanson (19:4

for the team (at least from
a runner's point of view).

All-stars return to sectionals
Only a handful of teams are good enough to make it to the sectional round of Little League all-star play each summer.But not only does Sweet-water have a pair of teams going to sectionals, most of the players on those teams have been there before.Seven of Sweetwater's 13 Senior League (ages 15-16) players were on a Junior League team that reached the 2010 sectional finals in Waco as 13- and 14-year-olds. And of the 12 players on Sweetwater's 10-11 year-old team, all but one was on a 9-10 year-old team that also advanced to the sectional finals last year when the tournament was played in Fort Worth.Next week, the 10-11 year-olds will be traveling to Waco for sectionals after beating Wylie, 11-4, on Tuesday in the District 5 championship game held at Sweetwater. The 15-16 year-olds will go to Garland for their sectional tournament after winning their district tournament held in Abilene last month. The teams in their age division did not play in an all-star tournament this year."We've talked about get-ting back to sectionals since Day One of the season," said Kenny Maxwell, who is the manager of the 10-11 year-old team and also managed them a year ago. "But ulti-mately, our goal is to go to the state tournament."It's a lot more difficult at this level because there is a lot more participation. But these kids are really hard working and dedicated."Maxwell has coached Lit-tle League for 19 years, and this will be the fifth time he has taken a team to the sectional round. He coached his oldest son, Tripp, on teams that went to sectional tournaments in 1998 and 2002. He also coached his middle son, Cole, at a sectional tourney in 2005 and this will be his second straight year to coach youngest son Mason at sectionals.To date, Tripp is the only son to play in a state tour-nament for a team that his dad coached. That happened in 2002 when Tripp was a 14-year-old. But Mason and Cole — the latter is playing for the 15-16 year-old team at sectionals — will both have a chance next week to duplicate their older brother's accomplishment."I've been real fortunate," said Kenny Maxwell. "All of those teams have had really good, quality kids."I think that these kids (his current 10-11 year-old team) can do whatever they put their minds to. If they don't let all of the distractions get in their way, they can get to state."Sectional play for both the 10-11 and 15-16 year-olds is set to begin June 13 with a double elimination format.The 10-11 year-olds will play their first game against the District 6 champion at 6 p.m. on July 13 at Waco Midway, while the 15-16 year-old team also opens at 6 p.m. on July 13 as they will take on the champion from District 8 at Garland. Teams from District 7, 8 and 9 will also be in the 10-11 year-old tourney, and District 6 and 7 will also be represented in the 15-16-year-old tournament. The events are scheduled to end with title games on July 16 and 17, respectively.

My parents and husband are the types of people who give rides to people who seem like they need it. I'm usually a very suspicious person, but I recall once I was at a store that was closing for the day, and a little old lady realized the last bus had already left. I'm acquainted with the store manager, and he asked me to take her home. It wasn't a bad experience; she kept talking about how she'd be willing to sew me something if I provided her with the materials, her labor being repayment, and I kept repeating that her home was literally on my way. I will admit I was miffed at the manager for putting me on the spot, though.
The city I used to live in had a woman who would jump into cars at stoplights and instruct the driver where to take her. It happened to a friend of mine and he actually drove her because she wouldn't get out of the car! Personally, I would have refused and not moved until she did get out, despite any line up piling up behind me when I didn't go through the light. If I didn't have my phone handy, hopefully someone behind would have called the police and they could have sorted it out.
I've had a cross-dressing working-person ask for a ride at 9am on a Saturday morning at Walgreens. Seems the person who picked him up didn't realize he was a he and not a she. I said that I was sorry that I wouldn't be able to offer him a ride, but this sort of stuff happens. No one expects you to honor the request of a complete stranger.
In these "stranger jumped in the car" stories, did the driver just forget to lock the doors? Not trying to be snarky, but seems odd. If doors are locked, no one can jump in.

Worst Company In America '08: Nominate
It's time for Consumerist's 3rd Annual Worst Company in America Contest! Last year, RIAA won. Before that, Halliburton took the prize. Who will climb to the top of the nadir this year?
Here's how it works. Name your favorite company to hate in the comments on this post and why (or send it to email@example.com). Then we will all vote on the nominees to whittle down the field of contenders. After that, we make a big March Madness style bracket. Every day will be a new deathmatch of reader between two companies. The crown winner receives eternal infamy and a lucky golden pile of shit.
New rule this year: we will only accept nominations for companies that makes or sells products or services that consumers actually buy.
Let the bloodletting commence.

Just a rant...
Plus, I have to say, I'm a little disgusted with sports right now. Between Barry Bonds tainted chase of Hank Aaron's hallowed record, the gambling scandal going on in the NBA and the revolting charges of dog fighting against NFL QB Michael Vick, it's enough to make the biggest sports fan cynical.
And it's not just the pros. Throw in such off-the-field college transgressions as the Minnesota Gopher football player who allegedly ejaculated on the face of a woman while she was passed out - and taped the incident on his cellphone! - and it goes beyond cynical. It becomes hard to invest time finding the funny in sports.
Ok, off my soapbox now. Just tired, grumpy and, as stated, a little burnt out.

Yost, I've got the perfect remedy to pull you out of this slump. First, we take some steroids and then take in a bitching dogfight. Add in some betting action on the dogs, then take home some drunk, unconscious women, and finally we can go over to the Blackwell Inn and steal some towels. What do you say....are you in?

I was wondering what was up.
I bet the McGuffie blueball is not helping. I know it's really wringing me out. If you would have asked me 2 years ago what recruit I'd be worried about, I would have definitely not said a six foot white running back from Texas. Yee haw. Let's hope he comes through. If not, so be it. We still have a great season to look forward to.
Chin up, old chap, you've only got 38 days until you feel alive again, dammit.

Yeah, we have reached the dog days of summer and there are not many sports topics worth discussing. I suggest you switch to the other topic used to distract guys from their normal day to day lives, women. Isn't it time you had a Big Ten tournament for hottest coed?

I check this blog every day. When I see no update I think; 'Good for them. I hope these guys are out havin' fun and not just swamped with work.' I think this blog is great, but it would ruin it if I thought it was a burden to you guys.
...and I wouldn't mind one bit if you kept the advertising...even the OSU advertisements. I'll even click them before leaving the site. I know it just gets you a little beer money at best, but it's better than nuthin'.

I think the reason that America doesn't like the beautiful game is we get to see MLS , which is crap. Then, the world cup, we only get to watch the USA team(read: almost real soccer), and the teams that are more mechanical(Germany, etc.). If we could actually see the EPL live, I think it would sway a large group. The premier league is just that, freakin' stellar. They play on a plane far above anywhere else.

The current state of sports in this country has also driven me to the EPL the last couple of years. Good stuff, that. I don't know about their off-the-field problems, and I don't care.
While nothing will replace college football as #1 in my sports viewing preferences, I have to admit that professional sports in this country is just about dead to me. I don't even watch the NBA playoffs anymore, or the World Series. I still watch some NFL, but only late in the season and playoffs - and ONLY the games themselves.
I have stopped watching ESPN altogether - except for college football games.
But look on the bright side, Fielding Yost: at least you're not married to that psycho Sissie Yost on "John from Cincinnati."

The thing that keeps me going with it all is that of those four examples, three of them concern folks who have been removed from their respective sports (Vick isn't official yet, but we all know it) and are facing prosecution.

this time of year's been tough for all of us, and as a CFB only site, I can imagine the frustration of finding adequate content and making some jokes about it.
Stick in there. The season's coming soon and CFB without the M Zone would be a bit incomplete.

You don't have to wonder why kids no longer idolize professional sports players. As a kid, who didn't do Pete Rose slides into home evetry chace they could, who didn't lay the Lawrence Taylor wood in "Kill the Man", what kid didn't think they could fly like Dr. J or shoot bombs like Bird. Some of the largest, most well known, dynamic figures in each professional sport is surrounded by controversy right now (or has been in recent times). I blame cats. I'll figure out a link one day, but it's got to be kitty-cats. They're just so cute, luring you in to your demise with their mesmorizing purring, soft fur, playful antics. Then they put the spell on you and you end not really wanting to kick them like you first considered. Then they give you drugs, make you cheat to make more money so you can better cater to them, and their hatred for dogs rubs off on you. They ruin society.

OOC - much like the character played by Rebecca DeMornay (Sissie Yost) on "John from Cincinnati." At the start you think, damn! That's a grandma? It's Rebecca DeMornay! Where's she been?
Then you watch the show awhile and the fangs and claws and weird behavior come out, just like your cat analogy. You wouldn't want to be within 10 miles of this woman in real life.
But it's Rebecca DeMornay...

OOC (cats)- was watching the news last night and there was a story about a cat that can predict when people are going to die. he just walks in their room and plop sup on the bed, then the nurses/caretakers start calling family members because they usually don't live much past 4 hours after the selection.

SUPERIOR (January 30, 2013) - UW-Stout was unable to complete the season sweep of UW-Superior as the Yellowjackets took a 77-52 win Wednesday.
The Blue Devils (8-12, 2-9 WIAC) led for only a brief moment at the start of the game as the Yellowjackets (17-4, 9-3 WIAC) took a 37-27 lead into the halftime locker room, then kept the game in double digits the rest of the way.
Stout defeated Superior, 79-68, when the teams met in Menomonie in December, but the Yellowjackets have tasted life at the top of the WIAC food chain lately and worked to stay there. Superior had three players in double digits with Kristen Nett leading the way with 16 points. Hillary Peterson had 15 points and Sally Linzmeier finished with 12 points.
Katelynne Folkers (So, Fall Creek) led Stout with 11 points and Brea Boomer (So, Grand Portage, Minn) finished with 10 points.
The Yellowjackets held a distinct advantage off the glass, pulling down 58 boards to Stout's 37. The Blue Devils did force 37 Superior turnovers, making 28 steals. Stout finished with 28 turnovers.
The Blue Devils will host UW-Platteville, Saturday, Feb. 2 at 6 p.m. for alumni day.

Houston, TX~ Elena "EJ" Fernandez, a 14 year old child, has been missing from her family since September 17th and the public's assistance in locating her is being requested. The Center for Search and Investigations (a pending non-profit organization), along with Law Enforcement and Elena's family are making strong efforts to find her but CFSI Representatives say more is needed.
Getting Elena's pictures and information to as many as possible is a crucial factor in gaining the information that will lead to her return to her family. Members of the public, no matter where they are located, play a huge role in making this happen. CFSI members are asking that you please share Elena's flyer via social media, email and as printed copies hung around your community as much as possible. Every share has the potential to be the one that returns this beloved child home to her family.
Fernandez is described as 5'3" tall, 130 lbs, with sandy brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing khaki pants, a yellow shirt with black writing on it, black tennis shoes and a beige purse. Her hair may be dyed auburn.
If anyone has information concerning her whereabouts, contact Officer Hall at the Houston Police Department - (713) 731-5000 or CFSI CEO/Founder Chuck Foreman - (512) 644-9856.
Due to the extended amount of time Elena has been missing her case is under the care of the NOMAD "not found yet" Division of Team CFSI. The NOMAD division of CFSI provides support to all State divisions when a child is missing and works to expand the reach of an investigation, providing additional resources as needed, when an investigation has gone on in excess of 9 weeks. NOMAD works with K9 Teams, Equine Search Teams, Truck Drivers and more to achieve those two words...Found Safe!

House Of Wallenberg is the moniker of Swedish producer Petter Wallenberg – after his previous single "legendary" that featured the resurrection of Swedish rap diva Leila K – he returns with a new single "Be My Lover" (which you can listen to and watch over at PSL) + new EP "Legends" (to be released November 23rd) which is a prelude to the release of his debut album with the same name dropping April 2013. On the album he has worked with choice Swedish vocalists such as Efti, Leila K and rapper Mapei along with other guest artists such as Jwl B from Yo Majesty.
We here at Discobelle can give you the exclusive premiere of the track "Katastrof" that features Leila K and Mapei dueling in rapid-fire verses all while the dirty electro production swarms around them.
PS. This coming weekend there will be two releaseparties in Stockholm, first in line is the party for "Be My Lover" on Friday November 23rd at East and the day after there'll be a party for "Legends" at Mums Mums/Strand.

Valentine's day may be over, but there's still time for lovin'!
Jurlique's Love Balm is a multi purpose face and body balm. It can be used on the lips, dry patches, face, hands etc. The usual multi purpose balm thing and it's super cute:
I've carried this round in my handbag for the last week, it's very compact (15ml in size) and has been useful for the lips and cuticles. You do only get a tidgy bit – good for small areas, perhaps not so economical for those dry patches on your knees.
Ingredients:Ingredients: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil; Cera Alba (Beeswax); Cetearyl Alcohol; Carthamus tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil; Fragrance (Parfum)*; Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride; Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil; Calendula officinalis Flower extract; Chamomilla recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract; Althaea officinalis Root Extract; Rosa gallica Flower Extract; Bellis perennis (Daisy) Flower Extract; Viola odorata Flower Extract; Viola tricolor Flower Extract; Echinacea purpurea Extract; Bisabolol; Ethylhexylglycerin; Tocopherol; Totarol; Phenoxyethanol; Dehydroacetic Acid; Linalool*; Limonene*. *From Natural Essential Oil (Tangerine – Citrus Tangerina).
This smells of tangerines (I've got some gorgeous tangerine make up coming up for you soon!) and costs £10.

Josh Hamilton's story has been one of the most fascinating and amusing of the postseason.
To localize it for a moment, if the Red Sox' signing of Shane Victorino means they are no longer interested in Hamilton, that's probably not a good baseball decision.
That's not meant as any disrespect to Victorino, who would likely agree, or to the Red Sox, who are trying to stick to a fiscal plan.
The avoidance of Hamilton by so many teams is fascinating. The whole issue of how they can't plunge in too deep with him because of his past baggage (addiction problems) is also compelling, considering that six years after he returned to baseball, he has put up enormous numbers and not turned back to drugs, although he has had a couple of non-drug-related episodes.
There are two schools of thought on Hamilton: You'd be crazy not to want him on your team and you're crazy if you do. What I don't get is some of the in between, e.g. we want him but we're not going to give him a Prince Fielder contract.
So you're going to try to get perhaps the best player in baseball relatively cheap.
"Baseball-wise," said an American League general manager, "there aren't many people who can play the game at his level. In fact, there may be nobody who can play at his level.
"He didn't have the best of at-bats late in the season, and when that happens, people start to get things in their heads, like, 'Is he on the verge of breaking down? Is his past catching up to him?'
"But he's also human. He's had natural dips in performance like everyone else. But the numbers he puts up, his athleticism, that stuff is still pretty solid."
And he is there for the taking.
Babe Ruth came with baggage. Mickey Mantle did, too. Barry Bonds had his issues. So did Manny Ramirez.
Someone is not doing right by Hamilton regarding his image. It should be something to promote and celebrate. Instead, agent Michael Moye has been secretive and silent about the client he's supposed to be doing his best for.
It's almost as if he's saying "Shhh. Josh Hamilton is a free agent. Don't want too many people to know this." And believe me, people are acting as if they don't so far.
During the Winter Meetings, Moye held double-secret off-site meetings. If he could have arranged for temporary blindness for the people who saw Hamilton on the plane or around town, he probably would have.
Sox GM Ben Cherington and manager John Farrell were seen leaving the Opryland Hotel to visit with Hamilton and Moye last Monday — though they never gave up where they were going — at, of course, an undisclosed location.
They couldn't even tell the cab driver where they were heading (I think I'm kidding, but who knows?). There was some secret code. Hamilton was probably staying at a hotel under an assumed name and likely in disguise.
The Red Sox didn't acknowledge the meeting until Dan Roche of WBZ-TV confirmed it a few days later.
After the meeting, this reporter texted Red Sox officials trying to get confirmation. Only one response came back, from Larry Lucchino.
I asked Lucchino, "Did you attend the Hamilton meeting with Cherington and Farrell?"
"Not me," he said.
So the Red Sox played along with this ridiculous code of silence.
The Sox' stance on Hamilton is vague; they're using phrases like "we haven't closed the door" and "we're monitoring the situation."
Seattle GM Jack Zduriencik must be mortified that word of his three-year, $60 million offer to Hamilton has gotten out.
The funniest thing was when Hamilton boarded a flight from Dallas to Nashville last Sunday and sat near Rangers GM Jon Daniels by accident. Talk about uncomfortable.
Moye walked swiftly through the lobbies of the Opryland Hotel so the media wouldn't corner him to ask about one of baseball's biggest stars.
That self-importance seems to be a turnoff to a few teams.
"Last time I checked, he was a baseball player," said a veteran scout. "His agent walks around like he's the CIA. What favors are you doing anyone being like that?"
He is correct that the self-importance is rather obnoxious, and Hamilton himself seems to realize that while he's a great ballplayer, teams seem to be focusing on other players because the aura around him is so bizarre.
Can you imagine the difference if Scott Boras were Hamilton's agent? Hamilton would be exalted to the highest plateau of baseball and life. After you've listened to Boras, you'd think that God never created a better player than his client.
Moye's style leaves so much doubt. The fears teams have about Hamilton are never laid to rest. Can't he stand out there in public and explain to baseball fans why Hamilton is not a high risk and why he is a unique talent?
Despite all the weirdness, Hamilton is there for the taking.
It doesn't appear at this point that he's going to get a Fielder-type deal. It's likely to be in the five- or six-year range for $25 million or so a year.
A discounted Hamilton contract would be like getting a BMW for the price of a Chevy.
I'll take it.
Apropos of something
Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti has run every type of team — the poorest, the middle class, and now one of the richest. He makes no excuses for preferring his current status.
"I'd rather play with a full deck and make decisions that are based on baseball, talent, and market," said Colletti.
Big-market teams can face the pressure of spending in the right way. Theo Epstein, who had two championship teams in Boston, hit on mid-level free agents and trades but failed on the big-ticket items.
But when asked if there is more pressure in a big market, Colletti said, "No, not at all.
"When you're restricted in what you can think about and how you can improve the team and restricted in the areas you can get involved, that's tough. Now we're not restricted. If we can't get something done, there are other factors involved rather than restrictions.
"So I'd rather have this because you still have to be accountable. You still have to be expected to win. They can talk about all the sabermetrics in the world. One fact tells your story: wins."
And Colletti makes this point: "Not everybody with the highest or second-highest payroll wins. We were in a spot where our team is still a little bit in transition because we did business as of 12 months ago in a completely different way.
"And the game is not one where you play one season with this team and you put them over here on the side and now you build another team.
"You have transition. It's not like we started fresh and built a new team. And it will probably take another year or so."
One thing that is different is teams coming to him and asking if he'll take on a high-priced player for one of his lower-priced ones. For instance, teams have approached him about shortstop Dee Gordon, knowing Gordon could be the odd man out if Hanley Ramirez stays at shortstop instead of moving to third base.
Now Colletti knows how Epstein and Brian Cashman were able to operate for many years. So far, he's loving it.
Apropos of nothing
1. Dominican Winter League team Licey has fired its last six managers during the season.
2. Former White Sox, Reds, and Cubs catcher/first baseman Steve Christmas was born on Dec. 9. What's with that?
3. Not a hunter, so I don't understand the fascination with it, but Cubs manager Dale Sveum was shot in the ear by Robin Yount while hunting, and Padres righty Andrew Cashner will miss three months after cutting a tendon in his hand while skinning an animal. Think it's time for a "no hunting" clause.
4. John Farrell was absolutely grilled at the Winter Meetings by an angry Toronto media over his sudden departure from the Blue Jays. It's expected to continue in spring training.
5. The Twins are erecting a 55-room dormitory for their extended spring training and instructional league players as part of their $40 million renovation of Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers.
6. Great to see former Red Sox trainer Paul Lessard at the Winter Meetings; his Reds training staff was named Training Staff of the Year last season. Some believe that the Red Sox' medical woes started when Lessard was let go three years ago.
7. Saw former Sox batting champ Bill Mueller at the Winter Meetings. He's now a pro scout with the Dodgers and learning every aspect of baseball operations. "I just want to keep learning and being the best evaluator," he said. We spoke about the amazing 2003 Red Sox lineup. "That was so much fun," said Mueller. "As I make my evaluations of players, I think about that team and try to compare players I see to the players who played on that team."
8. In a nice conversation with Astros GM Jeff Lunhow, I learned that he spent most of his childhood in Mexico City.
9. Cecil Cooper was a guest of his former employer, agent Alan Nero, at the Winter Meetings. The former Red Sox first baseman and Astros manager has been looking to get back into baseball. He is the only former agent-turned-manager I can think of.
Updates on nine
1. Asdrubal Cabrera, SS, Indians — The Red Sox and Indians have had numerous conversations about a deal for Cabrera and/or Shin-Soo Choo over the past couple of months, according to a major league source, sometimes even involving a third team. The Indians are open to dealing Cabrera, but he's still very affordable for them. Choo is another story. He's in the Jacoby Ellsbury category, where he can be a free agent after the season and is represented by Scott Boras. Cabrera and Choo could be impact players in the Boston lineup.
2. Jon Lester, LHP, Red Sox — Teams besides the Royals have shown interest in Lester, but the Red Sox have yet to hear something that would get them to pull the trigger. The Lester-for-Wil Myers idea still has to be intriguing to the Red Sox. The problem is that it's so difficult to replace pitching — as the Red Sox have found — in the free agent market. Interesting fact: Lester and Royals manager Ned Yost are practically neighbors, as their farms are close to one another in Georgia.
3. Alfredo Aceves, RHP, Red Sox — While John Farrell has been in touch with Aceves — trying to gauge his mind-set and make sure Aceves knows what's expected of him — teams are showing interest in Aceves's arm. The Indians are one; Aceves pitched very well for Terry Francona in Boston. Aceves also has volunteered to be a catcher for Mexico's team in the World Baseball Classic.
4. Dan Duquette, GM, Orioles — It's strange that the Angelos family hasn't opened up the purse strings for Duquette as he tries to keep building a team that went from 69 to 93 wins in his first season. Duquette was always one of the best in baseball at buying big-ticket players who performed up to their paychecks. He did it with Manny Ramirez, Johnny Damon, and Pedro Martinez in Boston. Duquette would likely spend the money on Josh Hamilton — who might light up the night at Camden Yards — or Zack Greinke.
5. Justin Upton, OF, Arizona — Texas is going strong after the D-Backs outfielder, and while he wouldn't be a complete replacement for Hamilton, he would be at least 80 percent of him, and his numbers should soar with half his games at The Ballpark in Arlington. He would also be a good fit for the Rays.
6. James Shields, RHP, Tampa Bay — The Rays have made two moves, signing the weak-hitting James Loney for first base and trading with the Marlins for emotional shortstop Yunel Escobar. Escobar is a good player for the Rays; Joe Maddon should be able to handle his ups and downs. But the real question is, will the Rays deal Shields for a thumper? The Royals still think they can obtain Shields in a deal for Myers, but the Rays may be looking at something more. Shields for Upton would certainly interest D-Backs GM Kevin Towers. The Rays want to come away with a hitter and perhaps a catcher.
7. Zack Greinke, RHP, free agent — He is closing in on a six-year, $145 million deal with the Dodgers, who sweetened the pot over the weekend after he appeared to be leaning toward Texas. The Rangers and Dodgers (two Goliaths, as Boras calls them) have the ability to create a bidding war for Greinke, who played with the Angels last season. Some of Greinke's friends advised him to beware of the wear-down effects of the Texas heat, but that wasn't a deal-breaker.
8. Lance Berkman, 1B/OF, free agent — He could be a solid player for a lot of teams, but he fits the Red Sox well. They have been looking for a lefthanded hitter who can play first base and the outfield. The other fits in this category are Seattle's Mike Carp and free agents Nick Swisher and Aubrey Huff. Berkman could stay at home in Houston and play for the Astros, but that seems like a frustrating experience. Another option for Berkman could be retirement.
9. A.J. Pierzynski, C, free agent — He was often a subject of discussion in Nashville, and there was an opinion that teams needing catching were being rather short-sighted in not pouncing on him, not only for his leadership but his lefthanded power. There are good fits everywhere, from the Rays to the Yankees to the Mets and even his old team, the White Sox. So far, there haven't been many serious bids. One concern teams have is his often-abrasive nature. "I know it worked in Chicago," said an AL GM, "but if it doesn't work with a whole group of new pitchers and teammates, it could be disruptive, and I think that's the fear, as much as you'd love to have his bat and the intensity he brings."
Short hops
From the Bill Chuck files: "Koji Uehara faced 130 batters in 2012 and allowed eight extra-base hits (four homers, four doubles) and walked only three. Batters hit .143 off his fastball and .155 off his slider, two pitches that accounted for 96.2 percent of the pitches he threw." And, "In 2009 with the Angels, John Lackey primarily had two catchers: Jeff Mathis for 17 games (batters hit .237) and Mike Napoli for 10 games (batters hit .309.") . . .

Lakers fire Mike Brown/Hire Mike D'Antoni
reported by ESPN
Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike Brown has been fired after a 1-4 start to the season, a source tells ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne.
It is not known yet who will take over for him, but a source indicated that it will either be assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff or Chuck Person on an interim basis.
Sources had said earlier Friday that his job would be in jeopardy if the team did not perform well on its upcoming six-game homestand.
The Lakers have had a healthy Steve Nash in the lineup for only 1½ of their five games so far thanks to a leg injury, while fellow newcomer Dwight Howard has acknowledged that he's still recovering from the back surgery that brought a premature end to his 2011-12 campaign and knocked him out of the London Olympics. Kobe Bryant has also been playing through a foot ailment.
The Lakers are off to the worst start in the Western Conference despite carrying the league's largest payroll at just over $100 million, which would trigger an estimated luxury-tax bill at season's end of nearly $30 million.
