Senate Makes
Welcome' Plans
As an introduction to Bethel Col-lege,
eight days of varied activities
have been planned for all incoming
freshmen and transfer students.
These events from September 8-16
are under the direction of the vice-president's
standing committee of
the student senate, headed by Larry
From the moment of their ar-rival
on campus, the new students
will become acquainted with the
different phases of campus life.
Activities scheduled include a sing,
a banquet, a retreat at Big Trout
Lake, all-school social event and a
musical concert.
Highlighting the Welcome Week
will be the retreat held from Sun-day
through Tuesday, September
9-12. The retreat schedule has been
planned to allow the new students
to become better acquainted
through a program of recreation
with spiritual and intellectual em-phases.
Counselors have been
chosen from each college class to
accompany the students on the re-treat.
President Carl H. Lundquist will
address the students, and Dean
Clifford Larson will be presenting
the academics of the college. Dean
Webster Muck and Dr. Paul Fin-lay,
chairman of department of re-education,
will be giving
the devotionals, and Steve Peter-son,
president of the student senate
will talk on the work of the school's
student government. In addition
a CLARION workshop and cheer-leading
clinic will be held.
Healy to Host
Social Evening
The fieldhouse will assume a
festive atmosphere on the night
of Wednesday, September 13, as
new and returning students mix
with faculty and administration
members and their wives in a sen-ate-
sponsored social event.
Mr. Gerald Healy, coach and
English instructor, will coordinate
the program of readings and mu-sic.
The theme of Mr. Healy's sel-ections
will be augmented by in-strumental
and voccal numbers per-formed
by music students.
During the intermission, hosts
and hostesses will serve refresh-ments
to the guests.
According to Marilyn Benson,
who is planning the event with
Carole Lundquist "Everyone is in-vited
to attend this first 'dress-up'
event and enjoy the unique pro-gram
that is being planned."

Move Studied
by Dean Dahlquist
At the 82nd annual meeting of
the Baptist General Conference,
held from June 24-28 on the Bethel
campus, the delegates overwhelm-ingly
voted to accept the school's
recommendations on long range de-velopment.
This included plans for
an estimated enlargement of fac-ilities
to accomodate an increased
enrollment in the college of 1200
students and in the seminary of
200-300, and a complete relocation
of the campus to another site at
the cost of approximately 12 mil-lion
In their momentous decision, the
conference accepted the recom-mendation
of the board of educa-tion
as presented with approval by
the board of trustees of the con-ference.
The board of education for-mulated
its recommendation from
facts presented to them in
a 285-page report of the
three year isurv6y of
the Long Range Planning com-mittee,
headed by Dr. David Mo-berg,
and a special report by Dr.
M. G. Neale, special educational
consultant. The archtiectural firm

The total cost of this move has

Accompanying plans to increase

The Wisdom of Proverbs:
Relevant to College Life
Student Senate President
When thinking anticipatively about student senate concerns I feel it
necessary to affirm two convictions upon which student government at
Bethel College must be based. Each student governing body, especially
the student senate, must simultaneously display an accurate and com-plete
understanding of its own prescribed role, as well as the larger edu-cational
framework of which it is a part. Now, I am not here stating that
student government on the Bethel campus acts only within the censor-ship
of administrative policy. Indeed, such limitation finds no place among
the educational ideals of our school. What I am saying is that student
government, and again especially the student senate should act only
when such action encourages mature, critical thinking and behavior in
accordance with the Christian educational comittment of Bethel College.
,Thus is becomes necessary to un-derstand
the purpose of the student
senate as a part of the • learning
process of this institution. Tradi-tionally,
the senate has had the re-
Thp-onsibility of providing f o r the
students activities and events of an
extra-curricular nature. While it is
the pleasure of the senate to accept
this duty for another school year,
I believe there are more urgent de-mands
being placed upon the stu-dent
It is my hope that the student
senate can, within the limits of its
capabilities and jurisdiction, focus
student thought and concern, in a
manner different from that of the
classroom, on some of the urgent
problems of contemporary living. A
campus environment that demands
each student to relate not only his
academic endeavors, but the total resources of his personality to follow-ing
Christ in our day is the aim of the student senate for the coming
It is, of course, impossible to delineate the precise dimensions of
senate functions in the years ahead of us and it is equally as difficult
to imagine that all of our expectations will be realized. Yet, I feel that
anything short of the above objectives would divorce the student senate
from its proper position within the Christian educational ideals of Bethel
by Annette Larson
The book of Proverbs was writ-ten
"that men may know wisdom
and instruction and that "wise men
also may hear and increase in
learning," for "happy is the man
who finds wisdom and the man
who gets understanding." But how
often does the word or even the
concept of wisdom enter into our
everyday experience ? What does
the word really mean ? More signif-icantly,
what should the word mean
to us as Christian college students ?
Frequently, it is paralled with
words like knowledge and under-standing;
"I, wisdom, . . . find
knowledge and discretion." Wisdom
thus demands a real exercise of the
mind. Human intellectual ability of
course is a variable, but that gives
no one an excuse for not using
his mind well. The real danger of
anti-intellectualism is not its nega-tive
approach but rather intellect-ual
laziness and thus an over-re-

Five student senate officers will

years as freshmen class presi-dent

He's a philosophy major. Second in

he can.
The writer of Proverbs is also
aware that mind is not enough,
for he has Wisdom cry, indespera-tion,
"How long will scoffers de-light

of a "wisdom" which is
solely intellectual, who lacks a

a false copy of the real thing. He
is iconoclastic, wreaking havoc in
other people's lives, exerting a des-perately
un-Christian influence.
For the wisdom of Proverbs—
and of all of the Bible—requires
not only a total involvement of the

with God which manifests itself
in a Christ-like character. Wisdom

and walks "in the way of right-eousness,
in the path's of justice."
James likewise insists that a wise
man must "by his good life . . .
show his works in the meekness
of wisdom." True Christian wis-dom
is "pure . . . peaceable, gentle,
open to reason, full of mercy and
good fruits, without uncertainty
or insincerity."
And how do we obtain wisdom ?
Is this only a sophisticated type
of works-righteousness ? No, cer-tainly
not, for "if you cry out for
insight, if you search for it as
for hidden treasure, 'then you will
. . . find the knowledge of God."
For, ultimately, "the Lord gives
wisdom . . He stores up sound
wisdom for the upright."
Wisdom, then demands an exer-tion
of the mind, a godly character,
and, most importantlly, a real and
deep relationship to the Lord. Let

"A SPIRE capturing the distinc-tive
character of Bethel campus" is
the goal of the '62 yearbook staff.
An increased coverage of events,
personalities, and features of the
college year is planned to make the
new volume representative of the
total Behtel program. Special lay-out
designs and copy styles will be
used to increase the attractiveness
of the annual publication.

Elizabeth Carlson and Karen

announced in the fall.
Students with experience in pub-lications
or special interest in jour-nalism
are invited to contact the
SPIRE office during registration
week regarding staff openings.
Keeping in touch wtih most
campus activities, though often
behind the scenes are the editors of
the student publications. These
people will be selecting staff mem-bers
in the early days of the school
year. Co-editing the SPIRE, Beth-el's

Thou Shalt: Study!
While it is somewhat early to burst into print with the traditional
welcome, it is pleasant to anticipate the propriety of such a welcome
in just a few weeks.
It is in these last few musing, relaxing (relatively anyway) days
of summer that the events of the coming year can be looked at ideal-istically.
Personal tastes and goals obviously influence the day-dreams
of what may lie ahead, but a common thread running through many
fancies is, "For a change, I'm really going to 'book'." This laudable
hope dims somewhat in the first rush of Welcome Week and getting
acquainted, is submerged until the night before mid-semesters, and
finally relinguishes a last chance of fulfillment as finals' week arrives
and one is willing to let any type of work suffice just to finish up the
The obvious anti-rationalization plea is: study! But it is a serious
plea in view of the fact immersion in a college liberal arts situation
suddenly opens new expanses of interesting xperiences, social, cultural,
spiritual as wll as intellectual. Personal discoveries of potentialities and
special interests and abilities are made. All these can overwhelm the
rudimentary academic elements of attending classes, completing papers,
studying for tests.
Thus, we wish you a vital, beneficial—and diligent—year at Bethel.

relax, and the coffee shop will soon
be the place where you meet your
friends for a 'snack.
The publications and student sen-ate
offices, several classrooms and
the faculty lounge are in the sub-basement.
Dean Clifford Larson, Royal
Bloom, and the registrar have their

New Students Clued on What to Expect;
Welcome Week Planned for Getting Acquainted
In just a few weeks, about 300 freshmen and new students find themselves in the center of as social and academic whirlwind.
On the following two pages, the student senate and THE CLARION will try to present them with an idea of what to expect
during the first few confused moments of arrival and' also depict some of the ideals, customs, and policies of student life at
Immediately upon arriving on campus, student and parents, if they are along, should report to room 105 in the college
buildling (on the corner of Snelling and ArliIngton) to get a key to the assigned dorm room and also a meal ticket. If the
arrival is after 5 p.m. it is possible to check in with the housemother at the appropriate residence.
After picking up the key, there may be further instructions and the arrival at a new "home" is imminent. At the dorms, new
students will be greeted by either "Ma" Moberg. or their assistants and shown to the room. It seems inevitable that a room-mate
will have arrived first and claimed the largest half for himself!
No student can feel alone for long because Welcome Week is designd to present an opportunity to meet classmates and
future friends This getting acquainted period will be relatively free from "helpful" upper classmen who, with a few exceptions,
will not return until the next week
Welcome Week is a busy one. It is orientation week and tests will be given during the first fewl days. Each student is
also assigned an advisor who will aid in selecting classes and making out a class schedulle.
Various social functions to speed the getting acquainted process will fill the week and a student-faculty banquet will
provide an; opportunity to meet the faculty members. These events have been planned to introduce the student to the social,
religious, academic, cultural, and athletic sides of Bethel. After this round of activities. the three-day Welcome Retreat at
Big Trout Lake will bring pleasant relaxation and a few upper cllassmen will present the activities of Bethel.
The return to campus will reveal that upper classmen have arrived and there will be new neighbors in the dorm and
more fellow classmates.

What Should I Wear?'
It becomes immediately apparent that Bethel is quite a casual campus when it
comes to dress and that there are very few rules governing choice of wearing
apparel. Modesty and family income are the best guides when selecting a campus
wardrobe; however, here are a few suggestions.
Girls will probably wear . . . For

Editors Note : The following is not by any means a complete listing of clubs and organizations
on campus where participation is desirable or needed. Each club was invited to write a description
of its plans and activities and submit to the Clarion. The following are the ones that chose to do so.
Location Creates
You will probably find that stu-dies
and campus events will keep
you more than busy. However, you
may want to take advantage of the
many opportunities in t h e Twin
City area.
The Minneapolis Symphony on
Friday night or the Twilight Con-certs
on Sunday afternoon are two
of the outstanding opportunities for
symphonic music. T h e Schubert
Club Series of St. Paul and the
Masterpiece and Celebrity Series
of Minneapolis present out of town
artists. The Student Senate, Cul-tural
Council can provide, ticket in-formation.
During the academic
year the University of Minnesota
and colleges in the area present
fine musical and dramatic produc-tions.
You will want to visit the Walker
'- .-,t,Center, Minneapolis Art Insti-tute,
University galleries in North-rup
Auditorium, and the St. Paul
If you are a football fan, why
not take in a Minnesota Vikings or
University of Minnesota game.
During the baseball season you can
see the Minnesota Twins.
You also have the advantage of
being fairly close to the downtown
areas of both cities. You can take
the bus on the corner of Pascal and
Arlington (two blocks east of the
girls' dormitory), and transfer on
Snelling and University to go to
either city.
,If you need to do a little shop-ping,
there is "Larp" (a shopping
center) just four blocks north of
the campus on Arona Avenue.
(Continued from P. 1)
Among the changes planned for
the present campus during this
time of expansion will be the
lengthening of the school day by
one period, the remodeling of the
seminary building to provide addi-tional
office and classroom space,
and the purchase of homes in the
immediate vicinity for use as facul-ty
offices, classrooms, ana dormit-ories.
In addition, college chapel
services will be moved into the
fieldhouse, with the present chapel
being converted into classrooms.
The administration has consis-tently
stated that this expansion
program will not "hinder nor jeop-ardize
the educational program at
any point," but "that first priority
at Bethel should continue to be
given to the upgrading of faculty,
library, and curriculum, and main-tenance
of a =lanced budget in
current operations."
Edgren residence accomodates
many of the fellows on campus.
Some upper classmen rent rooms
near the campus. Bodien and Hag-strom
are the women's dormitories.
Rooms a r e furnished with beds,
mattresses, pillows, sheets, pillow
cases, blankets, twoels, rugs, desks,
dresers chairs closets; there are
many community ironing boards in
the halls. You will have to furnish
your own study lamps, clothes hang-ers,
waste baskets, wash cloths.
You will probably want to bring an
extension cord, radio, mirror, alarm
clock, dust cloth, sewing kit, and
steam iron.
Washers and dryers are located
on each floor of the "new wings"
and in the basements of both dor-mitories.
The use of the equipment
will entail the payment of a small
Hours for freshman girls living
in the dormitories are 10:30 p.m.
The student senate is the govern-ing
body of the Bethel student as-sociation.
The senate executive cab-inet
consists of a president, vice-president,
recording secretary, cor-responding
secretary, and treasur-er.
These officers are elected each
spring to serve the following year.
The chairmen of the religious, cul-tural,
social, and athletic councils;
the four class presidents; and a
seminary representative a r e also
senate members.
Monday through Thursday; and 11
p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sun-day.
Girls who attain a 1.0 honor
point ratio first semester are al-lowed
one "twelve o'clock" a week
during the second semester.
In the front hall of the girl's dor-mitory
is a file and a sign-out
book. Before leaving camps, remem-ber
to sign yourself out and also
sign in when you return. If you are
late be sure to fill out a late slip;
you will be campused one night for
every fifteen minutes that you are
late. "Campused" means that you
will be confined to your room at 8
p.m. with no visitors or phone calls.
Fellows who come to see a girl
in the dormitory should ask the
switchboard operator to buzz the
girl's room. Each girl in a room
will have a certain number of buzz-es
according to alphabetical order.
When your buzzer rings, answer
the floor phone immediately.
Bethel Women's Association
(B.W.A.) is an organization used to
promote the fellowship of the wo-men
Three main activities are spon-sored
throughout the year. The Big
and Little Sis program allows up-perclassmen
to assist new women
students in adapting to campus
life. This activity has a formal
start in the fall with the Big and
Little Sis banquet in honor of the
new students and faculty wives. At
the end of the year, a $50 scholar-ship
will be presented to one of the
big sisters who has given the most
contsructive help to her little sis
during the year.
Other projects of B.W.A. include
a graduation tea in the spring for
all women graduates and this year,
a sports social is being planned.
Needless to say, dorm life is a
very important factor in your col-lege
year and the dorm council is
composed of girls who are inter-ested
in making your year as pro-fitable
as possible. You'll meet
these girls as soon as you stumble
suitcase-laden through the front
door of Bodien and ask deparately,
"Where's room 312 ?" One of the
council members will be on hand
to help you. Then throughout the
year, you will find that these girls
will be happy to aid in any prob-lems
that might arise.
Of course, almost right away
you'll meet Mrs. Christenson, better
known as "Ma Chris," the dorm
mother. Don't hesitate to knock on
her door any time of the day if you
have a special problem or just want
to chat.
The dorm council is responsible
for planning such things as the
dorm fellowships, dorm breakfasts,
fun nights, prayer meetings, "Heart
Sis" week, and many other activi-ties
which make dorm life so un-forgettable.
Among the many clubs and or-ganizations
at Bethel we have the
pre-seminary association for all
students interested in Christian ser-vice
as a vocation. The aim for
this group is three fold: to famili-arize
students with the various fac-ets
of the Christian ministry; to
acquaint students with the opera-tion
and organization of the semin-ary;
and to provide practical train-ing
for Christian service.
To attain this purpose we are
planning several supper meetings
to become acquainted with the sem-inary
professors, plus talks, lec-tures,
a n d discussions on such
things as books and the pastor's
libray, filing systems for the pas-tor,
missionary, or Christian work-er,
advice on counseling, problems
of the pastorate, and other topics
of interest to pre-seminary stu-dents.
If you are interested in Christian
service as your vocation we invite
you to join with us in this extra-curricular
means of preparation
of our lives for service to the Lord
Jesus Christ.

CLARION and
Plan Clinics
At the annual Welcome Week re-treat
at Big Trout Lake, the CLAR-ION
will be conducting a journal-ism
workshop. Students who have
any interest in working on the col-lege
newspaper are invited to at-tend.
The workshop, comprised of
two sessions, will attempt to intro-duce
students to all the different
phases of journalism.
At the first session, students will
be interviewed as to their previous
experience or as to their interest in
working in the organization. It has
been stressed that as the CLARI-ON
is desirous of providing the op-portunity
of developing new areas
of interest for the student, previous
experience is not necessary for at-tendance
at the workshop.
During the second session, the
more concrete segments of journal-ism
will be discussed, with work
sections being presented on report-ing,
lay-out, and advertising.
Welcome Retreat will also be the
scene of a clinic for all freshmen
and n e w students interested in
cheerleading. Cheerleading tryouts
will then be held early in the week
of September 18 and announced in
time for a full squad to be present
at the second game.
The art department has been
moved out of the fieldhouse into
the basement of the seminary
building to use the space formerly
occupied by the maintenance de-partment.

Choral Group
Structure Changed
By Music Dept.
Re-turning members of Bethel
choral groups may note some in-novations
in the structure of the
music department. Relinquishing
previously held autonomy, each
group will be under the control
of the department as a whole.
A student-signed application con-taining
a list of responsibilities
will replace the fine system in an
effort to eliminate irregular re-hearsal
attendance, dissension over
financial arrangements, and other
problems which have developed in
the past.
According to the administration,
this move has been made in an ef-fort
to forego "certain competitive
attitudes between the groups
which . . . it is desirable to elim-inate."
Each choral group is also being
encouraged to develop smaller en-semble
groups within it. This is
done with the aim of improving
concerts through variety and im-proving__
the quality__ of__ musical
groups participating in gospel team
rected by Denny Johnson and speci-al
music will be provided by a girls'

prior to 9 p.m. on Sunday, Sept.
3. Room and board are furn-ished

Hopeful Plans Laid for Football,
Cross-Country and Basketball
by Rick McNamara
At Bethel a Christian philosophy of education includes a well-developed program of etxra-cur-ricular
activities as well as a mature academic outlook. Bethel seeks to apply this philosophy in inter-collegiate
athletics by its membership in the Badger-Gopher conference in which the Royals compete
in football, basktball, baseball, golf, tennis, and track. In addition Bethel fields a cross-country squad
which competes independently of the conference against some of the strongest schools in the Twin
Cities area. Finally, of course, there are the Royalettes, the girl's basketball squad, which gives a
type of co-ed picture to the intercollegiate sports scene.
by Rick McNamara
Assuming the position of sports editor and sports columnist
for the CLARION this year will be Richard McNamara senior in
the college. McNamara joins the staff with a background of experi-ence
in high school, college, and
professional reporting.
While attending high school
in Portage, Wisconsin, McNam-are
served as sports writer for
his high school paper, at which
time he also worked for the
Portage Daily Register, writing
sports, general news, and feature V74:
stories. AsoTtr'ansferitudent at
Bethel last ear, he was an ac-tive
membe of the sports staff
of the CLAION.
During t e coming year, Mc-
Namara wi l also be working
with the at letic department in
writing pu ,licity of Bethel
sports for the Twin Cities' pa-pers.
As a 2art .of his reponsi-bilities,
he will beivorking_withr
the coaches of the major sports
in the compilation of player
biographies, schedules, and reviews of the
As summer speeds merrily on-ward
the spotlight turns to foot-ball
and cross-country. Practice for
these sports as well as pre-season
basketball conditioning begins Sep-tember
4 at the Wood Lake camp
which is described in detail else-where
on this page.
The question uppermost in the
minds of all students, of course, is
"How do prospects look for the
Football coach Owen Halleen
feels that the outlook is promising
for the football squad. He plans
to issue approximately 50 invita-tions
to the training camp, 12 of
which will go to returning letter-men.
This indicates the possibility
that Halleen may field a start-ing
lineup composed entirely of
lettermen which would be the first
time in the history of the school
that this has been remotely possi-ble.
Halleen was forced to operate
with only five lettermen during the
1960 season, his first at Bethel,
during which the Royals complied
a 2-6 record.
Weight, Speed are Problems
In summing up the probable
strengths and weaknesses of the
1961 Royal gridders Halleen listed
a lack of weight in the line and a
lack of speed in the backfield as
his prime problems. The loss by
graduation__ of._ Ken__ Baird,__ last
year's quarterback, gives Halleen
a very pressing replacement prob-lem.
Helping to counteract these de-ficiencies
will be the return of
such outstanding lettermen as full-back
Jim Nelson, a Cambridge,
Minn. sophomore who last year
was Badger-Gopher scoring cham-pion.
The line looks speedy if some-what
small, and will be bulwarked
by lettermen Capt. Ray Shepherd,
Don McKelvy, Don Peterson, Lee
Carlson, Jan Kolbrek, and Chuck
Rogers. Transfer students Phil
Evan and Lowell Gause are ex-pected
to battle for starting jobs
in the line. The return to playing
form of senior John Carlson, a
starter in 1959 who was out last
season with an injury, should also
bolster the line.
The speedy Nelson is expected to
anchor the backfield. Other key
backfield returnees from last sea-son
who are being counted upon
for heavy duty this season include
Paul Carlson, Rob Larson, Tuffy
Bryant, Dave Hagfeldt, and Bob
Smith. Upper classmen who did not
play last year but who are promis-ing
candidates this season include
Bob Clouse, Steve Sparling, Dave
Whitney, Dave Cox, and Curt
Halleen has again arranged a
tough eight-game schedule with
the belief that rough competition
produces good football players.
Sioux Falls (S.D.) college will open
the season at Bethel on Saturday,
September 16 at 2:30 p.m. Sioux
Falls compiled a 6-2 record last
year, including a 41-6 massacre of
General Beadle college. Bethel lost
to General Beadle by the score of
26-25 so it appears that Sioux
Falls will be an entirely adequate
first-game foe.
Halleen feels that Lakeland col-lege
of Sheboygan, Wis., Northland
college of Ashland, Wis., and
Bethel will be the teams to beat in
the conference scramble with
Bethel definitely rated as the dark-horse.
Lakeland was undefeated,in
conference play last year and loses
only one man from their potent
1960 outfit.
Eugene Glader and Phil Carlson,
Bethel mathematics professor, will
serve as assistant football coaches
for the 1961 season. Raymond
Shepherd, tackle from Joliet, Ill.
has been elected by his teammates
to serve as field captain.
Track Lettermen Return
Cross-country prospects look
"very encouraging" according to
Coach Gerald Healy, whose prim-ary
duties are that of basketball
coach and professor of English al-though
he also serves as golf and
tennis coach. Healy looks for a
fine season from a squad composed
of seven lettermen led by Fred
Purcell and Paul Sloan, stalwarts
of last year's track team. Purcell
and Sloan both competed in the
national NAIA track meet in May
against some of the best three-milers
in the nation. Purcell also
anchored the 1960 cross-country
Other lettermen who figure in
Healy's plans include Dale Pearson,
Denny Johnson, Tom Guy, Don
Allison, Dale Hamlin, and Howard
Dinsmore. The leading freshman
prospect appears to be Gordon
Carlson of Verona, N. J. who cap-tured
his high school harrier group.
This year the basketball squad
will gather at the pre-season train-ing
camp for the first time. This
seems to provide a clue for Healy's
plans for the year regarding bas-ketball
since he will have a short
but speedy and experienced group
returnnig from last year's cagers
which compiled a 10-2 conference
mark and a 10-11 overall record.
Prospects at this time seem to
indicate that Healy will field a
well-conditioned and cool-headed
squad. This, of course, does not
answer the problem of whether or
not they will be able to win ball-games.
____The squad is overflowing with ta-lent
at the guard posts with such
returnees as Lee Bajuniemi, Dave
Peterman, Jerry Biss, Dick Lar-son,
Bob Larson, and Jim Nelson.
Captain John Peterson, a senior
from Willmar Minn.. appears set
at one forward while Jon Kolbrek,-
a standout as a freshman, appears
to have the inside track for the
other forward post. Jerry Dahlin,
Denny Wahlstrom, and Don Pet-erson
are also strong contenders
for either a forward or guard posi-tion.
Jim Ekblad, returning center,
is expected to receive stiff competi-tion
from returnees Phil Bolinder
and Roger Olson.
Freshmen are always an un-known
aspect but the leaders
among the new students appear to
be Don Moore, Gene Lendeman,
and Dan Trevaille although others
may come to the fore when prac-tice
Fall Athletic
Camp to be
A completely new system will be
inaugurated for the second annual
Bethel College fall athletic camp
this year, according to coaches
Owen Halleen and Jerry Healy.
This year the camp will include
members of the cross-country and
basketball teams as well as mark-ing
the beginning of fall football
Wood Lake, Wisconsin, will again
be the site of the pre-season camp,
which begins on Sept. 3 with a
meeting on the college campus.

season's prospects.
A word directed particularly to
the new students about that ever-nebulous
quality called "school
spirit. During the next few weeks
you will probably all become tired
of hearing about the differences
between high school and college
life at Bethel. Some of these dif-ferences
are more real than others
and one of the more "real" ones
tends to be in this broad area of
school spirit. Last year was my
third in college but my first at
Bethel and I felt that this "spirit",
whatever it is, was largely lacking.
There was some desultory discus-sion
of this lack about the campus
but nothing concrete seemed to be
either defined or accomplished.
A lack of attendance at athletic
events seems to be one of the man-ifestations
of the apathetic attitude
of many students. The temptatioin
is there of course, particularly to
you new students who will be em-broiled
in a host of new adjust-ments,
academic, physical, social,
psychological, and spiritual. My
plea in the face of all this is simply
this: Many of you will be tempted
to stay away from any and all
sporting events because of Satur-day
study demands (which often
degenerate into bull-sessions) or
some other pursuit engendered by
the new and varied demands of
college life. I would suggest that
an afternoon at Norton field sup-porting
the Royal gridders or an
evening in the fieldhouse rooting
on the Bethel cagers will contribute
greatly to your student develop-ment
in many ways, not the least
of which will be a measure of pure-physical
recreation which will do
wonders toward shaking out the
weekly classroom cobwebs. Bethel
shows promise of fielding some
fine athletic squads this year and
for your development and the good
of the school I feel that they would
merit your hearty support, win or

Basically Investment banks were busily selling high risk investments that were purported to be low risk investments to governments, large institutions, and retirement investment institutions all over the world. It's what took the entirety of Iceland down and crashed the American retail banks. They were making "lucky dips" by bundling anonymous groups of low-security mortgages with high-security mortgages and selling them all off to investors for the price of mid-risk mortgages.
Investors were in effect paying for a bundle of three cars at BMW prices, with the chance that what they bought was any combination of a Nissan Versa, a BMW, and a Ferrari. Needless to say, the unlucky investors who received a heap of three Nissan Versas for the price of three BMWs just unexpectedly flushed most of their money down the toilet.

Since Snyder can�t be trusted anymore, certainly no one can be sure they won�t be paying some sneaky new taxes. Now Canada will have new routes to deliver their waste to Michigan. Dennis Lennox said the bridge approval is significant. Only if it�s paid for, and now is not a good time.

Is there any difference between gun-nuts and people who like to hunt with guns or shoot guns?
Broomfield Township
(Yes, definitely. Look at the next two items. Those guys are likely candidates for the nut label. -Ed.)
Watching the news right now on this tragedy in Boston... another nut. Just goes to show you, they don�t have to use a gun. What do you think about that, Obama? Beginning to wonder who�s nuts.
Mt. Pleasant
Yeah, they�re messing around with this gun control instead of doing the proper thing, so they�re bringing out bombers now because they�re afraid they can�t get the guns. That�s our government for you.
Gratiot County
Kudos to Rick Mills for his column Sunday on secrecy and ignored rules in the 80th District Court in Harrison. His commentary was well-researched and presented. As editor, he has the courage to deal with some tough issues. Thank you.
To the person in Shepherd who tells about needing our roads fixed. You complain about no ditches. Do you drive in the summer when the ditches are filled with weeds, brush and trash? Roads are bad, but we need gravel on them and to have them graded more often. If it weren�t for farmers, you�d be eating meat, fruit and vegetables from another country. Would you like that?
To the caller about motorcyclist having to buy $20,000 in insurance. That doesn�t cover much these days, when an injury to the brain can run up to $1 million in medical expenses.
Lake Isabella
In response to the Shepherd caller complaining about the farmers: It�s always the people with their bellies full who want to complain about the people who feed them. I don�t think anyone could do anything to make these people happy. Keeps your paper interesting.
If travelling on South Leaton a half mile south of Coleman Road, be very careful. A dog hides in the ditch and then runs out at you. I almost rolled my car swerving to miss it.
That�s really something, kind of funny, you know, spending all our homeland security money, and then have something like this happen again. Yeah. So much for all that. Taking away all our rights. Homeland security, they say you have to do it. Yeah. So much for Obama, too.
Mt. Pleasant
The Incredible Dr. Pol make some incredibly ridiculous statements in the article about pit bulls and the animal shelter on Sunday. The article was full of the typical pit bull stereotypes, which took away from the intent of the article. All dogs need to be evaluated on their overall behavior, not based on the stereotypes of the breed.
Mt. Pleasant
That was quite a speech our president gave on TV. We�ll soon be calling him Old Great Leader. Why did he say �good evening?� I don�t think it was a very good evening for the people in Boston. If they�d have just had more bomb control, you know?
Mt. Pleasant
When our city governments do their budgets, they always look at the city police and fire departments for cuts. When nothing is happening, it�s easy to cut them. Look at the police and firefighters in Boston. We have police and firefighters exactly like them. Leave your hands off our police and firefighters.
In response to the food-for-thought caller, Obama is protecting our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Nowhere in either does it protect your right to own assault rifles and high-capacity clips. No one needs an assault rifle.
Mt. Pleasant
I found it very disturbing to know that next to no one gets prosecuted for lying on an application to buy a gun. We have all the resources in the world to prosecute for possession of marijuana. Perhaps those who lie to buy a gun should be looked into, too, Ms. Scully.
Mt. Pleasant
Sure looks strange to me. Most of the townships don�t have the money to fix the roads, but they�ve got money to spend on fancy new offices.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
CLEMSON, S.C. - Postgame notes following Maryland's 45-10 loss at No. 10 Clemson.
Kicking Off: Maryland fell to 4-6 overall and 2-4 in the ACC after losing to Clemson 45-10...Clemson improved to 9-1 and 6-1 in the ACC...the Tigers now own a 33-26-2 advantage in the all-time series.
Vellano Recovers Fumble: When Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd fumbled in the opening quarterback, Joe Vellano jumped on the loose ball for his first fumble recovery of the season and third of his career. At the time, it was Maryland's 15th takeaway of the season.
Petty to Campbell: Shawn Petty found Devonte Campbell alone along the sideline for Maryland's lone touchdown of the game. The 17-yard touchdown pass was Petty's third of the season and Campbell's first touchdown reception in 2012. Campbell hauled in two touchdown receptions in 2011.
Ross over 100: Brandon Ross finished with 100 yards on 16 carries. Ross is the second Maryland rusher to run for at least 100 yards this season. Wes Brown topped 100 yards against NC State with 121 yards on 25 carries.
Longest Run of the Season: With the Terps backed up near their endzone in the second quarter, Brandon Ross sprinted down the Maryland sideline for a gain of 44 yards, a career high for Ross. The run was the longest run of the season for the Terps, a mark previously held by Devin Burns who had a 23-yard run against NC State.
McDougle On The Loose: When Spencer Benton's 55-yard field goal attempt feel short, Dexter McDougle received the field goal in Maryland's endzone and preceded to race 74 yards down the field to set the Terps' offense up at the Clemson 26-yard line. The field position eventually led to a 39-yard Brad Craddock field goal.
Defensive Notes: L.A Goree and Matt Robinson led the Terps with 10 tackles a piece. All of Robinson's tackles were solo. Goree finished up with nine solo tackles and one assisted tackle along with a team-high two tackles for loss...Anthony Nixon tied a career high with nine tackles, while Cole Farrand match a career-high with six solo tackles. Farrand has tied the mark four times in his career.

Adam Pinsker, KTUU/NBC News
Anchorage, Alaska - Jim Brown has carved snow and ice sculptures for years, now, he's lending his talents to a good cause.
Brown's snow and ice sculpting skills have taken him to competitions in Fairbanks, California and Dallas, and he also likes to show off his craft on his front lawn.
But this isn't your traditional nativity scene. The 20 angels gazing into the winter sky symbolize the children murdered December 14th, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut.
"I started working on it basically Thursday, so I had it done basically Saturday afternoon. I tried lighting it up, but it was too windy so we use the artificial candles we have here," says Jim Brown.
He used snow that came down from recent storms, molded it into the right consistency, then carved the faces and wings with power tools and a chainsaw.
"A lot of people come by and I was wondering if they would get the connection between the 20 angels, and everybody has," says Brown.
"Honestly I've driven by this a few times before, and I thought they were just statutes placed out, I had no idea they had been hand carved, that makes it even more impressive I think," says Dan Baldesari.
Brown says this is just his way of showing support to the victim's families and residents of Newtown, a community that is still in mourning.
"I'm a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather, so I know what it's like to have children," says Brown.
Even the coldest looking displays of kindness have a way of warming the heart.

When an Auckland family moved to Nelson, their new building project seemed doomed from the start but they refused to give up.
A chance to build their dream home prompted Laura Southward and her husband Tem to move from Auckland to Nelson.
"We've owned a few houses in Auckland and Nelson but always wanted to build a new house as we have fairly similar design tastes and work well together," says Southward.
However, they could have chosen a better time to build a home for themselves and their two daughters, Xanthe, now 4, and Lillian, 2.
"We'd just moved down from Auckland, we had a 2-year-old and a newborn, and Tem was starting his own business," says Southward. "But the section was too good to pass up and we're often accused of not doing things by halves."
What they wanted from their new home was fairly straightforward: a single-storey, easily accessible home, with plenty of glazing to take advantage of the northeast facing aspect, and as many eco features as they could squeeze in, including solar panels and passive ventilation/heating.
But when their chosen builder went bust on the eve of the build they decided to start again with a new architect and builder, and had the site re-excavated.
"It was fairly stressful, but we ended up with a design we liked better, a second builder who was fantastic and a house that really works for us."
With a desire to use natural materials where they could, the couple opted for a solid oak kitchen with stainless-steel and eucalyptus benchtops. "We wanted something that was easy to clean but we also love wood and the eucalyptus is a hardwood that's sustainably forested."
The snug tucked between the kitchen and Tem's home office doubles as a guest bedroom and has a macrocarpa bookcase and window seat.
Southward admits to being "obsessed" with lighting and worked with a lighting designer to come up with lights that would suit different spaces in the house and provide some "wow" factor. The fitting in the living room came from an antique store in Christchurch that she found on the internet.
"Not long after buying it, the first earthquake struck and the owners emailed to say that pretty much everything had been destroyed - except for this light," she says.
But the feature that really attracts attention is the eucalyptus-framed living wall in the kitchen, which has been incorporated into the rear of the island bench and features numerous indoor plants.
"I really wanted a living wall somewhere in the house and looked at a range of options before I found an American solution called Woolly Pocket," says Southward. "There were some anxious moments when I thought they would be too pink, but they reflect the wood perfectly and I've been surprised how easy it is to look after."
Style tips
Fabric of life: A quilt that hangs in the master bedroom was made for the Southwards' wedding. "We asked our guests to bring a piece of fabric that they liked or had special meaning for them.
My stepmother and Tem's grandmother sewed them into a quilt," says Southward.
Mad humour: The "padded cell" wallpaper in the office often draws comments. "Tem works from home and occasionally makes video calls," says Southward. "He's been asked if he's calling from a padded cell."
Changing hues: A neutral palette in the living areas provides the perfect backdrop for the couple's art collection but the kitchen and girls' bedrooms feature pink, reds, blues and greens.

Embraced by God: Facing Chemotherapy with Faith
Embraced by God: Facing Chemotherapy with Faith by Steve Givens (Twenty-third Publications, 2010)
I have never physically met Steve Givens but we have been friends for the past eight years. I am always awakened by his daily reflections in Living Faith, so one day I sent him an e-mail and we have corresponded ever since.
I must confess I had a pre-conceived idea when I picked up his latest book, Embraced by God, Facing Chemotherapy With Faith. I need not read this book, since, except for a few maintenance items which come with age, I enjoy good health. But as I read it, I once again became aware of my own silliness--my lack of accepting the Holy Spirit and her knowing what I need and what is best for me.
Steve's book is a book about faith and how a person who is ill or finds him or her self with an unexpected illness travels the unexpected turns in one's life. It is a book I have needed for some time. With it, perhaps when my father had heart failure and tension developed between us, we would have used different methods to deal with our fears and anxieties. Or when my seemingly, perfectly healthy wife was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, or my three-year-old grand-daughter was diagnosed with "Frequent Fever Syndrome," I would have had more spiritual tools to work with if the book was available then.
I was surprised to learn that Steve had Langerhan's Cell histiocytosis, but I was not surprised that it was another disease that I had never heard of. Just like my wife and grand-daughter, Steve's disease is considered an "orphan disease"--as so few have them, the research and treatments are limited.
As I read Embraced by God (in fact, I could not put this one down), I realized it is a book for all of us. We all have a disease or two: the illness of being lazy, the sickness of not helping our neighbor, or the disease of not listening to the Holy Spirit and acting like Jesus would act.
Steve's book is a series of daily reflections--not to be consumed too fast, but to be simmered and tasted many times. Let this book consume you, filter through you, and fill you with the reminders of what we believe and how life is much easier when we accept being embraced by God.
It is a book we all need to read more than once, and it is a book that will make our travels with Jesus easier, and more fruitful. I will use the "five things," the "self-question," and the "last time" at the end of each chapter frequently. They are great road signs for my tool box that will help me empty ourselves in order to make room for God in the ordinary of our lives.
A final thing that did not surprise me about this book was Steve Givens's gentle way of presenting himself. His matter-of-fact style, along with his openness to his faith, is what sparked me to write that email many years ago, and he remains true to it in this gem of a book.

Some more news, notes and observations now that print deadlines are met:
— Was Hue Jackson admitting he got a little conservative in his fourth-quarter play calling as the Raiders stretched their streak to 85 minutes without a touchdown in the game-deciding quarter?
You be the judge.
"It starts with me. I have to, as the primary play-caller, and the emotional leader of this team, make sure I'm on my `A' game at all times. I'm not saying I'm not, but I have to go back and at halftime as I address them about making sure they finish, and coach Jackson has to make sure he finishes."
Jackson went on to add that the Raiders would have scored in the fourth quarter had it not been for a blocked field goal attempt _ "Are you kidding me? Somebody doesn't want us to score in the fourth quarter" _ and said the problem wasn't for lack of effort."
He also said, correctly, that some of these fourth quarters have included some very big plays by the offense that got key first downs and changed field positions to help the defense.
— Until Darren McFadden is spotted on the field, it's hard to take seriously that he'll be ready to play in a game. Jackson went out of his way to say McFadden doesn't have some kind of hidden injury, that he simply wants him to be at 100 percent.
As frustrating as that is, anyone who watched McFadden as he tried to play through injuries as a rookie and in Year 2 would be hard-pressed not to agree.
"I don't want a 70 percent Darren McFadden," Jackson said. "I think that's unfair to the player and unfair to the football team."
— Through 10 games, it's pretty clear Tyvon Branch is on the way to becoming the player Jackson said he is. Always a fabulous special teams player _ Shane Lechler was raving about Branch when he was a a rookie _ it's clear he has stepped up to another level on the defensive side.
"I said before the season I thought he'd be one of the breakout players in the NFL," Jackson said. "I don't think he gets enough credit because he plays really well for us week in and week out. He plays every snap for us, doesn't complain, he loves to play, he loves to be involved in tackling and pass defending and all that. I think he's doing a great job."
— About those quarterback sneaks with Carson Palmer . . .
"We got a big, ol' 6-foot-5 235-pound quarterback. Why not just let him go instead of reversing pivot and handing to someone deep?," Jackson said. "Plus, he told me he's one of the best in the world at quarterback sneaks. That's what he told me. I said let's find out. I kind of jumped him for not making it the first time and making me look kind of dumb there.
"He knows how to get his pads low, we know how to get the ball in there. I think that was the easiest call I made all day, truth be told."
— Jared Veldheer's signature performance came with the help of some teammates. The Raiders ran some first-team defenders at Veldheer in practice to simulate Jared Allen's skills, including Trevor Scott and Lamarr Houston.
"He's what a Raider is., what a great Raider is truly all about," Jackson said. "He went out there with a plan. Great credit to his coaches. They prepared him; they watched a lot of tape. We gave him some great looks in practice. And he went out there and got it done. That's what pro football is all about. You play the best, and when you're able to hold your own, you start to realize you're starting to become something."
Even better for Veldheer _ he had lots of friends and family from the Grand Rapids. Mich., area at the game. Veldheer will no doubt shrug this one off and start to prepare for the Bears and Julius Peppers, but his family deserves to bask in this one for a few days. Veldheer told reporters Monday he'd be back in a few minutes but strategically made sure he didn't re-enter the locker room until the media was excused.
Typical offensive lineman, uncomfortable with getting credit. Would rather be a grunt than a star, if even for a day.
Met Veldheer's parents during training camp on a couple of occasions and I know they check out the Web site and blog.
Bask in this one, mom and dad. It doesn't get much better.

Hmm..... I thought one read slashdot via a desktop machine because one's job necessitated being seated in front of desktop machine for 12 hours a day.
People at work think I'm crazy, but they also know when I'm reading
MS is milking the Xbox exactly the way they should.
If they spin off an Xbox TV console, they will be diluting the Xbox brand. In marketing, brand dilution = death.
No, they could just issue the next gen Xbox that does exactly what Google TV does. The Xbox brand would just mean everything on your TV, from TV to Web to gaming to movies to personal desktops.
And then Google TV would probably just beat it in the market with the far better integration with the Internet by the far more open platform.
And then Google TV would probably just beat it in the market with the far better integration with the Internet
Not as long as all major TV networks continue to block access from Google TV devices.
I'm not a fan of Microsoft (though they make THE best keyboard with their Natural Ergonomic 4000),
And it only took them how many years to make the "Natural" keyboards more or less right? The original had the home row keys higher than the surrounding keys, forcing your finger to actually move farther than on a normal keyboard. Besides, this is the best keyboard. [kinesis-ergo.com]
For me, the most desireable remote control would be via by touch-screen smartphone. It's small, can use touchscreen gestures, (or motion gestures if you wished), has a usable touchscreen keyboard (for searching and direct channel access), and is a usable size. If the damn thing had an IR transmitter, it would be perfect. I used to use my Palm Treo for this, but its IR transmitter was very poor.
Saint Steve has your every desire [apple.com] satisfied. Well, some of them, anyway.
Would it respond each time after the 50th by showing a really good Jean-Luc Picard facepalm?
"Yes, Supreme Overlord"
Perhaps some sort of throne you have to sit on to issue Telebot commands? Or some cape pseudo-peripheral?
And naturally the un-undoable one;
Telebot, MAX VOLUME.
(Caps actually used to illustrate shouting, go figure.)
I know this is supposed to be joking, but I want this sooo bad now...
"Telebot, you are dismissed!" - Powers off
"Telebot, make me a sandwich!" - Tunes to the cooking channel
"Telebot, make me laugh!" - Tunes to Comedy Central
"Telebot, make me cry!" - Tunes to Fox News
"Telebot, make it rain, bitch!" - Tunes to the Weather Channel
"Telebot, hold!" - Pauses the DVR
"Telebot, kill!" - Turns to Lifetime and stops responding to instructions
"Telebot, where is/are my ____?" - Brings up a cool "scanning"
I hate voice controls, I've got a rather deep voice and when I'm using voice menus sometimes the phone system can't pick up my voice at all no matter how loudly I yell at the damned thing. Google seems to have done a lot better with whatever they're using on Android, but it still has issues.
Voice recognition from across the room is even more complicated.
I have the same problem - remembering the passage from 'Hitchhikers' talking about how buttons on equipment gave way to touch controls, then to gestures... Meaning you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same station.
So either you have to accept that someone will change the channel every time they stretch (or throw their hands up in exasperation at a missed goal) or introduce a 'get the TV's attention' gesture. Yoo-hoo, I'm waving at you....
I see they're talking about using voice too - so I guess it's that, but how are you going to turn the volume down when it can't hear you over the sound of the movie? Or when someone happens to speak the keyword in a show you're watching? (Which reminds me, if anyone had that 'clapper' thing, did it turn your lights off whenever the ad for it came on?)
If someone gets it right, I'm all for it - but I just don't see it. 'Who wants a beer?' *hand goes up* *tv changes to Lifetime* *thirsty guy gets beaten*. I'll stick with my Harmony remote, to replace all the others - and I don't even need a webcam on 24/7 in my living room, with all the privacy implications that has.
PS We once had a TV at school which was had an ultrasonic remote (this was something that came out either before or in competition with IR). One of my classmates discovered that their sneezes were perfectly pitched to the 'change channel up' signal. Sadly it was hay-fever season, so they had to sit outside while we watched something about Henry VIII and chuckled uncontrollably whenever we remembered it.
Yes, because Kinect can't distinguish between highly specific hand gestures and cheering for a football game. It's just like 1970s ultrasonic TV remote technology. Typos make keyboards useless. Slippery joysticks prevent gaming. The mouse is too imprecise for drawing.
How about a Twister interface: Left foot Yellow == channel up. Right hand blue + left hand green volume down, etc.
It could be used as enhanced voice command. Kinect has cameras and 3d detection, so it is possible so see that you are giving commands to the TV and not chatting with someone about the sport channel. If the resolution is enough it could read your lips to have even better voice recognition. It could even help disabled persons.
Imagine you're on the phone, TV is getting louder you present you hand to the TV to mute it or even power it off. It could detect that everybody left the room and pause the movie. The i
Yeah, with the next step to pause the commercials if there's nobody watching it.
Technology that can be turned against you will.
pause the commercials if there's nobody watching it.
It sounds way creepy, but it'll be standard in a decade or two...
it could read your lips to have even better voice recognition
You could even control TV while sitting comfortably in one of the Pods, together with your crew mate (the one carbon based & not in hibernation)
Most likely that way, but that can also be handled by your run-of-the-mill webcam with some machine vision, especially that most webcams also carry a mike. I don't really see how 3D vision can improve video playback experience...
In commercials you always see how some ordinary thing is so very difficult and cubersome to do. You know... "Vacuuming under the sofa is so hard and the vacuum cleaner doesn't fit there well and you have to (*gasp*) kneel down and it still won't be perfectly clean... But if you buy Super Cleaner (TM) RIGHT NOW you'll...". At that point, every regular person should go "Excuse me? I've vacuumed under the sofa and it's not that difficult, really". The commercials are trying to create a need that doesn't exists because there is a product that has been designed to fulfill that need. This sounds similar.
The reason why it's difficult to come up with a replacement for a remote is that there isn't any real need for that. Are the remotes really that hard to use? You pick one up. lay on the sofa and can do anything with a small finger gesture. I don't understand why they're trying to create need for a replacement with those very artificial sounding arguments. "It's hard to pick up the right remote"? Oh please...
In some cases it is hard. you can have 4-8 remotes to control your fancy tv/audio setup.
what is really needed is a standard set of controlling codes for remotes. so you don't have to go through the often lengthy and wrong procedure of trying to teach a remote all the codes that it might need.
a universal remote often sacrifces ease of use for features.
It *is* a hassle of keeping track of those five remotes for your TV, sound system, DVD, VCR and HTPC... If you've ever been part of a family, chances are you have to spend ten minutes looking for that dang DVD remote since some family member has put it in the most improbable place possible.
But I feel the solution isn't gestures, but rather having a TV with a built-in harddrive and codecs so you have a single HTPC+screen.

We have a very low-tech solution: we bought a basket. All remotes live in the basket, the basket gets passed around. Done.

This style of advertising seems to be much more common in the U.S (Maybe Canada but I've only spent a few hours there) than in Western Europe. Our advertisers tend not to treat their target audience like retards as that means that only retards will relate and buy their products.
Microphone in the kinect. Just speak "channel 34" or, even better, "CNN sports".
Any further questions?
I don't see why a basic hand vocabulary of 5-20 gestures from American Sign Language couldn't be the global standard for "talking" to Kinect. Why would children need school for that when they'd learn it earlier, faster and better just "watching TV"?
I don't see why a basic hand vocabulary of 5-20 gestures from American Sign Language couldn't be the global standard for "talking" to Kinect.
For one thing, other countries' Deaf communities might feel left out.
Gesture creates and overlay on the screen, then you have an icon on the screen you can manipulate with your hand (like a mouse arrow) and there you go. Really, wasn't that hard.
Let the XBox be in a tablet format.
That would be a powerful combination. Winning!!
Not to be a party-pooper, because different interfaces should be explored, of course, but for day to day usage I could, on principle, not justify using a TV remote that draws 12 watts.
If it was such an interesting feature, TV manufacturers could just licence the tech from PrimeSense [primesense.com], the company behind Kinect, and built it straight into TVs...
The article says a qwerty keyboard in the living room is a bad idea, without explaining why. So, why?
"What the Kinect Could Be, But Probably Won't" -- Been there done that -- TFA should be called, "What Kinect & LIRC hackers have realized is really lame way to control a TV or computer."
The article says a qwerty keyboard in the living room is a bad idea, without explaining why. So, why?
Because Dvorak is so much nicer.
On a serious note, I don't see keyboards going away any time soon (or ever). I can type almost as fast as I think and 8 times as fast as I can get my voice recognition software to recognize.
What I am seeing more of is Computers. Everywhere. In portable phone & tablet form fac
It's a bad replacement for a remote control. You want a remote. You don't want to have to rub your belly and pat your head to change your television's view mode from Stretch to S.Stretch, so Kinect is a bad replacement too.
Try running XBMC with just a keyboard sometime and tell me how you like it.
your memory must be better than mine, I can never remember which key does what except for the biggies.
All you need is two people who wanna watch TV, for the matter let's say a husband and his wife, and all they have is one TV that has no remote - both can control it by merely moving their hands, and lord knows Mr. Something doesn't want to watch that reality show that Mrs. Something really likes. Five minutes later, and they're using they hands to kill each other, not control the TV.
Not to talk about when they reach out their hand to grab a tissue from the table, but the TV mistakes it for a shutdown comman

Kinect uses a camera. If you want to use gestures to turn the TV on the camera has to be on all the time. For me thats a little bit creepy. I know kinect just turns the image it gets into a model, but what if the suppliers of the equipment sell the data it collects to advertisers? How much time do you actually spend in front of the TV? Do you listen to music? What music? When you rent a DVD how many people are actually watching? Is that more than the DVD was licensed to be viewed by?
And so on.
The problem, as they see it, is Microsoft's inability to actually bring this into common usage for regular television viewing. "It seems like the company is tied too much to the Xbox's substantial gaming revenue to split the Xbox TV stuff off as a separate product â" even though there's a huge population of non-gamers who probably have no interest in buying an Xbox.
Sales as a separate product would be incremental and would not hurt Xbox or Kinect sales to gamers. However developing and supporting an in

At one time, Microsoft was the largest maker (aside from Apple) of software for the Mac. Maybe it's still true.
Just because you're entitled to have your opinion doesn't mean it's worth sharing. Liquid gold cars cheaper than oil is actually not possible. Kinect eliminating TV/media/Web remotes for everyone is clearly completely possible, except that Microsoft is probably not capable of doing it.
BTW, just because you're entitled to have a limited HCI interface design imagination doesn't mean it's worth expecting that from good designers.
It's obvious that the miraculous "convergence" of TV and Internet people (especially financial people) have been talking about for over a decade is simply Kinect + Google TV.
It's also pretty obvious that monopolism and patents (monopolism) will prevent Microsoft and Google from allowing that. At least, Microsoft's desperate clutch on monopoly rather than value will prevent its Kinect from putting Google atop that converged platform, leaving MS doing the dirty work while Google's brand and revenues shoot up
Ridiculous. Google TV is just a PC. It's obvious people don't want a PC in their living room. It's obvious Google can't design its way out of a paper bag. It's obvious Google has no idea how to make a consumer product. Google TV did not sell. More people buy an Apple TV every week than all the Google TV units that have been sold in its lifetime. For the price of a Google TV, you can get an Apple TV and an iPod touch to use as remote and for apps. Then you can look something up on the Web or tweet without ta
No, it's obvious that you don't have a Google TV unit. Especially not one integrated into the TV. The difference in form factor is everything to the mass market. And the difference in open platform from what you do understand is also obviously unknown to you. Nobody's developing apps for Apple TV except Apple, but the Android that is Google TV is where all the developers are and are going.
Google TV doesn't have to take up the whole screen. Picture in picture is standard in the HW, OS and default app
Kinect is already available for programming against (see http://www.ideum.com/blog/category/kinect/ [ideum.com])
I would love to see a hack that would allow people to use the Kinect with programs like 3dMax and other 3d programs. It would be awesome to be able to download or create a 3d model and then use the kinetic to animate the models and easily make your own animated movies.
Kinect is almost twice the price of a set-top computer such as Apple TV or Roku. Even if it came with a free set-top, it is too expensive for the set-top market. And an Xbox and Kinect cost more than an Apple TV and iPod touch, which also gives the user a device for apps while they watch, like looking up things on the Web or tweeting or voting on American Idol. And more people know how to use an iPod than Kinect.
What would be needed is a $99 set-top that has a built-in cheapo Kinect. Maybe just a webcam. Th
The real headache of integrating a system so that it can control home entertainment systems is the tremendous number of systems with which one must integrate..and the ongoing maintenance of that integration. Every new Blu-ray player, tv set, cable box, etc. means at the very least a sanity check on remote settings and at the very most a whole effort around producing a set of new commands. Multiply that by every vendor of note, and then add the update feature. Even Logitech had to buy another company to g
"The idea of being able to ditch your table full of remote controls and just use your hands and voice to interact with the TV is compelling."
So the reporter did not know that for LESS than the price of the Xbox device you could have bought a Universal programmable remote and Ditched that table full of remotes for a SINGLE remote?
I love tech reporters that do not know ANYTHING at all about tech.
I like and own several MS hardware items, and they usually work better/well when compared to similar priced items. BUT having followed the path of this device I feel that it is in the wrongs hands, I don't think that it is part of MS focus and so it will get marginalised, and even forgotten once they need another game feature to trump the others. The only hope that I see for it is to have a 3rd party develop uses for it.
Someone should just hack one together. Why even bring the kinect into it? The motion tracking PhD project that was on here a the other week (wasn't it released open source?), or one of the packages that people in comments claimed rendered it no big deal, plus a usb webcam and an atom powered computer with a IR interface should render this possible for a determined hacker. Shouldn't it? At least as far as channel + / -, Volume + / -, and input increment goes.
Sounds like a nice bag of hacker-points just w
