Rural residents in and around Portales, New Mexico, are wondering what might happen next.
The community, still reeling after a salmonella outbreak at the Sunland Peanut plant last year resulted in many local workers temporary losing their jobs, is now facing what seems to be round two of ill fortune, namely, 316 new salmonella cases nationwide that have been linked back to Privett Hatchery in Portales.
As of last week, salmonella cases in 37 states had been linked back to poultry from the chicken, duck and turkey hatchery in the eastern part of the state. Colorado reported the greatest number of cases with 37; Texas followed with 32. Nebraska, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Missouri, and Utah all reported double digit numbers of confirmed cases.
Nearly 51 people have been hospitalized so far nationwide. Nearly 60 percent of all cases involved children. The Salmonella infections have been linked to contact with chicks, ducklings, and other live baby poultry.

One local official, who offered his thoughts only if he could remain unidentified, said regardless the outcome of the ongoing investigation into this latest outbreak, the community has already taken a second hit linked back to the city. He points to the closing of the peanut plant and the negative local economic impact of that incident over the last year and says he fears what another round of cloudy economic times could mean to local businesses and residents.
He also said, in contrast, he was confident the city has a strong heart and spirit and he expects they will survive this incident regardless of their problems.
Portales is a city of about 13,000 and is the county seat of Roosevelt County, New Mexico. The area is noted for its agriculture production, especially for high quality alfalfa and a growing number of dairies. Portales is also one of the largest producers of Valencia peanuts in the United States and is the nation's top producer of Certified Organic peanut butter.
So far, federal investigators have said that over the last several months researchers discovered a number of salmonella strains that shared a DNA fingerprint and a common thread. It appears tests on a number of individuals exposed to the sickness recently indicated the bacterium associated with the strain was spread by baby poultry that had been sold at multiple feed stores around the country, and the young poultry had originated from Privett Hatchery in Portales.
DNA match made the connection
Investigators tested the hatchery and turned up a DNA match with the same fingerprint from a swab taken inside a duck pen at the facility.
"It's a complicated outbreak because there's so many different feed stores involved and so many different hatcheries have supplied birds to them," reports Paul Ettestad, Public Health Veterinarian for the State of New Mexico.
He says there is little doubt the fingerprints match, and said the hatchery is working with a company to develop a custom vaccine that can be used at the facility.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), children are disproportionately affected in outbreaks associated with live poultry as their immune systems are not fully developed. They are also less likely than adults to wash their hands properly and more likely than adults to put their fingers in their mouths after handling animals and pets.
"I want to emphasize how cooperative the hatchery has been in helping to identify the source of this outbreak by working with officials from numerous agencies. Privett Hatchery was willing to conduct multiple tests," said New Mexico Department of Health Secretary Retta Ward, in a statement. "The Department wants to remind parents not to keep live baby poultry in their homes. Any time anyone handles baby ducklings or chicks, they need to wash their hands thoroughly to reduce the risk of contracting Salmonella."
In its announcement of the outbreak, the N.M. state health department described Privett Hatchery as "a leading innovator on the national level for years in helping to reduce the level of Salmonella in live baby poultry sold to the public."
Health officials say the hatchery has taken a number of steps to prevent further illnesses, including removing all poultry from the pen where the positive environmental sample was taken. The company is also in the process of vaccinating birds at the hatchery; eggs are undergoing decontamination before entry into the hatchery; protocols for cleaning and disinfecting the hatchery and associated equipment have been implemented; and structural improvements to the facilities have been made.
Company officials say they will continue to work diligently to prevent any further contamination and are cooperating with all state and federal agencies to remedy problems.

The United States is facing a "specific, credible, but unconfirmed" threat of a potential Al Qaeda attack on US soil, likely designed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to US officials.
US intelligence specialists have picked up "lots of chatter" on jihadist websites, "and we're taking it all seriously," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Thursday.
She also noted that 9/11 is "an iconic day to Al Qaeda" and that it's not uncommon to see stepped-up threats of attack in conjunction with such anniversaries.
Secretary Napolitano hinted that some of the insights into this potential attack come from the cache of documents that US Special Operations Forces seized during the raid that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in May. "We know it's an iconic day to Al Qaeda in part because of what was found at the [bin Laden] compound, so we are preparing accordingly," she said.
Beyond that, Napolitano declined to provide specifics. "I don't want to give those [details] out because I don't want to tell the bad guys exactly what we're doing," she said. "But I think it's fair to say that in addition to asking citizens to be vigilant and so forth, that we have ourselves leaned forward and have made sure that we are doing all that we can."
Some additional information has leaked out, however, including "a possible plot directed at the homeland that seems to be focused on New York and Washington, D.C.," a senior Obama administration official told CNN, adding that the threat is believed to involve three trained terrorists and a vehicle laden with explosives. The would-be terrorists are believed to be coming from Afghanistan, but it's not known whether they have yet entered the United States.
In May 2010 Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani American, attempted to set off a car bomb in New York City's Times Square. He was sentenced to life in prison last year.
On the heels of the trove of documents uncovered by US Navy SEAL Team Six during their raid of Osama bin Laden's house, senior administration officials issued a government advisory in May. The bulletin, put out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), warned that, as far back as February 2010, Al Qaeda was contemplating "an operation against trains at an unspecified location in the United States on the 10th anniversary" of the 9/11 attacks.
Al Qaeda, the warning noted, was actively investigating the possibility of "trying to tip a train by tampering with the rails so that the train would fall off the track at either a valley or a bridge." Though the Transportation Security Administration sent a bulletin to railway officials, DHS did not issue a National Terrorism Advisory System alert.
The most recent warning Thursday indicates that Al Qaeda and its affiliates have also considered attacks with small arms, homemade explosives, and poisons.
New York CIty Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday night urged residents to go about their normal routines, even as the city's police commissioner announced that police would set up vehicle checkpoints across the city and step up bag checks of subway riders.
Early warnings that surfaced Thursday of missing rental cars in Kansas City, Mo., which some analysts were linking to the potential attack, were being downplayed Friday morning after the vehicles were recovered.
Other officials are cautioning that much remains unknown about any potential plans for an attack on US soil. Former Bush administration Homeland Security official Fran Townsend told CNN that the threat, while credible, is unverified.
There are questions and "weird things" about the information that intelligence officials have picked up, she added.
"What is 'weird' is that some of this [information] appears inconsistent and incompatible," says George Lopez, an expert in counterterrorism at the University of Notre Dame, in South Bend, Ind. What's more, terrorist groups often hype their capabilities. "The overall chatter, I suspect, is not a surprise to any agency," he says. "There is a lot of bravado out there."
That said, Dr. Lopez adds that officials have probably been picking up on threats that sound disturbingly similar coming from different sources of intelligence. "What may have tipped the balance" for US officials sounding the current alarm is "that there was too close a correspondent in one set of foreign chatter with the other human intel and bits of the technical data which was found in the US," he argues. "That would – and should – draw lots of scrutiny."

Indikationen des antero-lateralen Oberschenkellappens zur plastisch-rekonstruktiven Defektdeckung im Kiefer- und Gesichtsbereich
Search Medline for
|May 20, 2011
Introduction: The anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) is pedicled on septocutaneous or musculocutaneous perforators of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery. Due to its extraordinary versatility and low donor site morbidity it has gained increasing popularity in the treatment of oral and maxillo-facial defects after ablative surgery in the last decade. The anterolateral thigh flap allows the generation of subcutaneous, fasciocutaneous, myocutaneous, or adipofascial flap, which has made it to a work-horse in reconstructive maxillo-facial surgery.
Material and methods: The aim of the present retrospective analyses of a collection of n=97 cases, which were treated in 2 highly specialized institutions for cranio-maxillo-facial surgery, was to illustrate the intriguing applications of the ALT flap as well as the clinical robustness and excellent functional outcome of this approach.
Results: The overall flap failure rate was low in this patient series (9/97) and comparable to other free flaps utilized in the head and neck area like the radial forearm flap. It was successfully used for reconstruction in case of oral cavity, oropharynx, external skin and maxilla defects. For more bulky reconstructions after total parotidectomy or skull base surgery, a muscle component was frequently harvested and transferred additionally. When a thinner, more pliable flap was required for the reconstruction of the floor of the mouth, suprafascial anterolateral thigh flaps were raised or the flaps were thinned after harvesting.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the anterolateral thigh flap is a highly versatile and reliable flap for use in the reconstruction of various soft tissue defects of the head and neck area. This flap has gained great popularity given its versatility, ability for a two-team approach, and minimal donor site morbidity.

These Ettusais cream eyeshadows have been around forever, but at the moment they are on offer at ADAMBEAUTY.COM under specials so I bought 3 that were still in stock:
God I love cream eyeshadows. It wasn't always like this of course; in the old days when I first got cream eyeshadow from the likes of No. 17 and Maybelline it was crease city. Yak. Not so with most (not all) cream shadows of the Japanese variety. With them, the likes of Shiseido Hydro Power, Visee's eye creams, Jill Stuart Eye Jellies, Lavushca Eye Jellies, Paul & Joe Eye Gloss = no creasing even when worn on their own.
But I digress! These Ettusais shadows may be oldies but they are goodies:
All of the colours are quite sheer and have a nice micro sparkle finish to them. The pink is particularly nice.
They blend away quite sheerly so would work well with some dark liner or eyeshadow on top. I didn't find it creasing or streaking through the day.
My ususal complaint with these eye creams is that they aren't pigmented enough. Of all the creamy/jelly based eye shadows I have it tends to be the western brands like Nars, Benefit, Shu Uemura, Bobbi Brown and Stila (eye mousses) that do pigmented cream shadows. The Japanese cream shadows then to be pretty sheer pastels with a hint of colour.
But these are on offer people! If you are new to cream eyeshadows then you need to try these; they are a great introduction. Would I buy them at full price? Nah – but on offer they are a nice addition to my 'to go' make up bag which has the cosmetics I like but don't need to have on my dressing table every day.
Love cream eyeshadows, or hate em?

In the past few issues, we at Farm Industry News have encouraged readers to consider adopting a high-speed Internet connection as a standard tool for their farm businesses. As part of our series, we asked Shirley and Abe Hodgen to give a high-speed connection a try and then tell us what they learned. Here is their story.
This fall, a high-speed Internet satellite dish lightened Shirley Hodgen's normally busy farm workload and saved her from occasional midnight sessions downloading critical farm management information from the Internet.
Hodgen, who farms with her husband Abe near Roachdale, IN, 50 miles west of Indianapolis, has long recognized that information gathered through the Internet has much to offer their operation. But there was only so much sleep she was willing to give up. And Abe wasn't willing to deal with Internet frustrations at dial-up speeds — period.
"We didn't use the Internet very much at all except for e-mail," she says. "If there was something we wanted to look up on the Internet, I would stay up to the wee hours when the dial-up service was better and somewhat faster."
High-speed transition
Despite their sense that using the Internet more would be valuable, the Hodgens balked at the cost of high-speed Internet. Last fall, when they began their high-speed experiment, their only option was a satellite connection. Their local phone company's promise that Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service was just around the corner hadn't yet materialized, although that service since has become available. Satellite-based high-speed Internet typically costs $400 to $600 for equipment and installation, plus $50 to $60 monthly in base service charges. (For costs and other details, see "High-speed Internet options," pages 28-31, December 2006.)
The Hodgens signed up for the satellite system after Farm Industry News approached them with an offer that helped defray equipment and installation costs. When they accepted the offer, which was made in conjunction with Agristar Global Networks (www.agristar.com), they agreed to be interviewed for this story.
They also agreed to offer their insights on Agristar, which includes an agricultural news, weather and markets information package in conjunction with high-speed Internet services provided through its satellite partner, Hughes Network Systems, the world's largest satellite provider. Agristar's basic ag business content, which has a value of $50/month when purchased separately, is included for all subscribers at no additional cost with the monthly satellite fee. The company plans to offer other premium services in 2007.
Now, after about three months with the new service, Hodgen says she uses the Internet daily and finds new and valuable uses for it that she wouldn't have sought out in the past.
"It is well worth $60 a month just for the information that is available to me," she says. "The biggest thing I have noticed, if we want to get something from the Internet, we can get it right away instead of waiting and sitting up to the wee hours of the morning. It is just a couple clicks away. I wasn't using the Internet to our advantage before. Now I am."
High-speed Internet also has encouraged her husband to go online. "Before, he did not have the patience for the Internet," she says. "This has changed it. He actually has gotten on the Internet and used it several times. It is amazing."
Internet time-savers, moneymakers
The Hodgens began saving time via the Internet almost immediately after their high-speed system was installed. "The second day we had it, we had a new employee and I didn't have a W-4 form," Hodgen recalls. "I clicked on www.irs.gov and within two minutes, I had printed the form out. I thought, 'This is going to be nice.'"
Although harvest kept them too busy to explore the Internet extensively, the Hodgens found that a high-speed connection was an important time-saver for day-to-day chores. For example, they used John Deere's parts Web site to keep harvest machinery up and running. They used the site in the past, even though it was frustrating at dial-up speeds.
"Normally, it would take 15 to 20 minutes to get to the correct page for the part we needed," Hodgen says. "Now I can get to it in three minutes or less. If a part breaks after hours, I can get a printout of the part and a schematic and see if the dealer has it in stock. If he has the part, I can be at the dealership waiting when they open up the next morning."
In the fall, the Hodgens also harnessed the Internet to help them select next year's seed varieties, plan tiling projects and design changes in their grain-handling system.
"One of the things I just did, which was a pleasure, was to download Purdue University's variety trials results," Hodgen says. "We are being bombarded by the seed salesman, but we wanted to see how the varieties we planted this year did in the trials. To download that, I would normally stay up to 2:00 in the morning. This year it took me five minutes to download all three sections. It was a joy."
Hodgen recently used a Web link from Agristar to view USDA aerial maps of their fields to help determine whether the fields need tiling and how tile lines should be laid out. "It took me six minutes to find one of our fields," she says. "Before, it would have taken me an hour. Every time you would click, it would take a good 45 seconds to a minute for a page to reload with dial-up. Now it is a second or less."
High-speed Internet also helped the Hodgens uncover a creative grain-handling solution, courtesy of grain-handling equipment Web site. Although they had been planning to buy a drive-over pit, they now plan to design their own system with help from a schematic from one of the five or six manufacturer Web sites they visited.
Hodgen is not sure whether they would have found the schematic with a dial-up connection. "We looked at five or six pits within a matter of minutes," she says. "In the past, after three manufacturers, I would have said, 'That is enough.'"
Banking, LPDs and weather
During the winter, the couple hopes to make more use of the Internet for both business and pleasure. Already, Hodgen has surprised herself by exploring online banking. "I would have never thought about paying bills or banking online," she says. I have started doing that. With dial-up, to get on the banking page, I could have driven to the bank faster."
She plans to use the Internet to handle Farm Service Agency (FSA) paperwork in the future, including using electronic Loan Deficiency Payments (LDPs). That will easily save an hour for each trip to the county FSA office that she avoids.
She expects Abe, who handles marketing chores, to use the Internet more, too. She notes that Agristar offers extensive marketing information, which will be a good supplement to marketing information they already gather.
"The Agristar link puts us in touch with things that are agriculturally related, like USDA reports, weather and commodity commentaries," she says.
Agristar's weather links also look like a great help, says Hodgen, the operation's self-described "weather guru." She and Abe rely on weather radar to manage field operations over their 3,000 to 4,000 crop acres, which are spread over a 25-mile radius, and welcome their improved access to radar and other weather data.
Keeping up with family
Hodgen expects their high-speed Internet connection to help her and Abe keep in touch with their two sons and daughter-in-law. They frequently offer information and advice via large e-mail attachments, which in the past have been cumbersome to download.
The new service also should please the younger-generation Hodgens, because it will save them time as well. In the past when they were home, the Hodgens' son Robert, who is involved in the livestock feed industry in California, and son Paul and daughter-in-law Jennie, who are University of Nebraska graduate students in agronomy and meat science, respectively, occasionally had to drive to an area coffee shop to gain access to high-speed Internet.
"The Internet has become like the telephone to them," she says. "They need access and they can't stand slow."
Now that the Hodgens have high-speed Internet, they also have asked their nieces to put them back on the e-mail distribution list for baby pictures. "With dial-up, I had to tell my nieces not to send baby pictures anymore," Hodgen says. "The pictures could clog my e-mail for an hour."
20/20 hindsight
Overall, Hodgen says that high-speed Internet has already become valuable for their farming operation, with promise that it will become even more important in the future.
In retrospect, she is amused at the logic that kept the operation from making the investment earlier. "I had no problem paying the $65 monthly satellite TV bill, and we don't even watch much TV," she says. "I couldn't see my way to pay that much for fast Internet service. I just couldn't realize how much faster and more useful a high-speed connection would be. High-speed Internet has made me more productive. It is well worth the investment."

We make phone apps for Windows Mobile, which we sell on Microsoft's Windows Mobile Marketplace.
On this particular task, we're making an app which is able to do a bunch of things when you get to a GPS location. It can send a text message, set off an alarm, email someone or call someone. It's intended for anyone who makes repeat journeys and wants to do something each time - wake themselves up before they sleep past their train station; text the wife when they're almost home; email their carpool buddy that they're arriving at his house - that sort of thing.
Youngish (compared to me, at least), technology-enthusiastic mobile phone users. Age 20-40.
I need three slightly-animated icons for the app shown above. I already know what I want to appear in them - I just can't draw for toffee! The icons I'd like are:
1. A rotating planet earth (we'll use this when there's no active destination) 70x70 pixels
2. A planet earth which is trying to receive a satellite signal (we'll use this when we're, well, waiting for a satellite signal) 70x70 pixels
3. A planet earth which looks like an old-fashioned alarm clock (we'll use this when we're on the way) 70x70 pixels and also a static one in 90x90 pixels (we'll use this for the main application icon)
These are all a bit easier to envisage by looking at my horrible sample artwork. I would like them all to be a few frames - the first one needs to look like it's rotating so probably needs at least 4 frames - the others we'd be fine with just a couple of frames of animation each. But, hey, if you want to do more we'll be very happy - we have no real limit. You don't need to provide animated gifs or anything - just give us the artwork as separate images and we'll do the animation parts.
Use whatever colours you like. I have attached some sample icons that I like of other people's, to help with a bit of guidance.
Good luck!

With Higher Learning, SNOWBOARDER is bringing our readers an uncommon array of tricks that each have the distinction of appearing harder to do than they actually are. This month's move–the switch method–is no different. Ever since Bryan Iguchi, Peter Line, Terje Haakonsen, and Noah Brandon advanced straight airs by going tail first, switch methods have been a nuance trick attempted by few but appreciated by all. If an onlooker asks, "Was that switch," then you know you've got 'em dialed.
This month's Higher Learning subject is Crewsaider Cody Rosenthal. Cody is Cheech Marin to his bros and Vincent Chase to his babes. Once buckled in, this Berkshire-bred boarder secretes style. While other east coast academy alumni live by the spin-to-win mantra, Cody is content to flaunt slow rotations, exaggerated tweaks and aggro grabs like frontside three nuclear nosegrabs! The following brands have Cody's backwards riding back: Electric, Volcom Family, Active, Flux, Grenade,Vestal, Magical GoGo and Core Orthopedic.
––Pat Bridges
1. First, you're probably going to want to learn a regular method. I've found the best way to extend a method is to travel on the jump as if it was a hip. In order to do that you are going to need to carry a bit more speed than for a straight air, then take off from your heels, traveling from heelside to toeside. Make sure the jump isn't too slushy or going off of your heels could be a problem.
2. Once you have the hip-style method down you are going to practice switch ollies off whatever you can find until you are comfortable enough to take them off some jumps. Start small and
work your way up.
3. Popping off your heels helps you kick your board up. I like to grab in-between the bindings. Once you figure out that balance in the air you can test how long and far the extension will go. Beware there is a risk of landing on your belly if you go too big or hold on too long.
4. The angle you take off from should throw your board back under your feet as you let go of the grab and prepare for a smooth landing.
5. Stick it and ride away while screaming, "Switch!"
–Cody Rosenthal

Wok-fried pea shoots show us how a brief fling in the wok with a little garlic and sesame oil is all that's needed to coax delicate pea shoots to tender, aromatic perfection.
A brief fling in the wok is the perfect technique for cooking delicate pea shoots (sometimes called pea vines). Available at farmers markets and Asian markets (under the name dou miao at the latter), pea shoots should include a top pair of small leaves at the tip, delicate tendrils attached to the young stem, and a few larger leaves or blossoms. Select bright green, undamaged shoots. Pea shoots are often confused with pea sprouts, the whole baby pea plant. However, shoots and sprouts can be used interchangeably. Serve with a meat dish and freshly steamed rice. Originally published December 1, 2009.–Patricia Tanumihardja
LC Greens Galore Note
Author Pat Tanumihardja notes in her book that "this cooking method can be used for many vegetables, from bok choy to tatsoi to Chinese flowering cabbage (choy sum). For vegetables with thicker stems or ribs, separate the leaves and stems and add the stems first as they require a longer cooking time." Okay, then. Sautéed greens all year round it is!
Wok-Fried Pea Shoots
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4 to 6
- 1 pound pea shoots, rinsed and drained well
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
- 1/4 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade, or water
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce or fish sauce
- Sesame oil, for drizzling (optional)
- 1. Trim the ends of the pea shoots as well as any tough stems.
- 2. Heat a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the oil and heat until it starts to shimmer. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 15 to 30 seconds. Increase the heat to high, throw in the pea shoots, and toss to coat evenly with the oil and garlic and keep tossing until the leaves are just barely wilted, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
- 3. Add the stock and soy sauce and toss until the liquid has reduced to a few tablespoons and the shoots are tender and bright green, another 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve immediately.

Rafa, Rafa, Rafa, Rafa, Rafa, Rafa, Rafa, Rafa!
8 times Rafa...
The only man to win the same major 8 times...
But it was a foregone conclusion after Friday's match against Novak Djokovic, right? I was watching -- and screaming -- at work. As soon as he hit that shot between the legs, everyone had to know it was over. Rafa was destined.
As you know, if you've been reading my blog all these years, Rafa is my boy. And, yes, because he's so fragile. All those rituals, those are the rituals of a player who has to beat himself every time. You've heard the stories, haven't you? He is a MESS. He is a mental mess. And...yet...he's not. The self doubt he'll never conquer. It's how he controls it that's fascinating. Apparently by adjusting his socks and shirt and bouncing his balls on his racquet an exact number of times, and rubbing his nose now and again. As a student of superstition myself, often crippled by it, I can't help but adore him.
Here's Rafa winning the French Open on Sunday and then celebrating at Euro Disney today. God he is cute. I keep telling my cousin Cat, who is obsessed with him, to name her baby Rafael, no matter what the sex, but her husband cut his throat at the idea. Really, Dex. What is your problem?

We all seem to know when we're feeling happy, yet many of us have a hard time finding this emotion when we're… Just. Not. Happy. We also seem to have many different ideas and strategies for maintaining happiness.
So why am I pondering such a simple, basic, emotion? For one thing, yesterday was: International Day of Happiness. Also, my wife is reading: The Happiness Project, and at a recent family dinner, we were watching the documentary: Happy. That's a lot of happy, and it really got me thinking about how I personally seek happiness – what has worked and what has proven to be poor strategies.
Being an L.A. resident for all of my life (minus the 3+ year stent in the OC), traffic has played a major role in how well I can maintain happiness. As the SNL sketch, The Californians, lampoons, we tend to focus a lot of our energy on navigating through the crazy traffic in L.A.
So, two weeks ago, when looking into my own strategies, driving in traffic was the first place I explored. My driving style was best described as: Aggro-speed-demon. Not only did I put most of my energy into getting my car to the front of the line (as if all of us are going to the same place) and everyone else on the road were just obstacles to be out driven. When another driver would do something that slowed or blocked my bee-line to wherever, I would fling my judgements of their inferior driving skills. I also kept telling myself – and my wife and kids – that by "venting" like this, I was maintaining some kind of mental balance and that it was all for the better to keep me from road raging and doing something stupid.
For the purpose of my exploration of "happy strategies", I decided to change my driving behaviors to see if it had a positive or negative effect on my sense of happiness. I figured the easiest way for me to change, was if I switched my driving goal from: getting wherever as fast as humanly possible, to: being as kind and considerate to everyone around me. I fortunately do not need to drive as a part of my job. Instead, I just need to drive to get to my job. I also do not have a strict time that I need to arrive at work (thanks Gravity).
Not only was I still getting to my office around the same time as I did with my Aggro-speed-demon style, but I also felt less stressed out when I did arrive. This outcome may seem extremely obvious to those of you reading this, but you would be amazed at how hard it is to see past your own preconceived notions about something you're deep in the habit of doing. Keep in mind that I have been driving in L.A. for over 25 years, and though I haven't always been this aggressive, I have always focussed on getting places as fast as possible (yeah, reading that back to myself makes me wonder how I've been so dysfunctional). 25 years has given me a lot of time to come up with justifications.
Believe it or not, I stuck to my new strategy for the past two weeks. I have now also learned that I can get 75 more miles on a single tank of gas. Again, seems pretty obvious when you think about it. What I learned that I found most surprising though, was that I can honestly say that my temper has a much longer fuse than before. Turns out that for every action another driver did that held me up would be another piece of anger/frustration/rage that I would hold onto. I recall that stepping out of my car after those aggro-drives, gave me the sensation of relief. Like, "finally I'm here and that's over." Now with a different perspective, I can tell you that that was not relief as much as it was stress. It was stress that would follow me into the office or into my home.
Something else became clear to me from all of this. I realized that judging other people helps feed my own rage. I also found empathy for other drivers on the road. Instead of "What's your problem! It's GREEN!" and after passing them, "Stupid!", I saw: "There must be something else on their mind right now." That's it. No need to make any judgements about someone I've never met. It also became clear to me that judging a person by a single action or inaction is ridiculous. The most powerful part of replacing judgement with empathy, is that instead of these incidents building up anger and rage within me as they happen, they build up understanding and a deeper sense of humanity. I now feel like I'm driving among other people instead of obstacles.
I wish I could describe this better. It has been truly transformative for me personally. In my case, happiness was often out of reach because of my own anger and rage. I kept thinking that if I could out-drive the horrible traffic, I could arrive happier than if I struggled through it. It is only a struggle if I make it one. I have the power to change this by simply not fighting the traffic. It blows my mind at how simple this really is. Why did I have to make it such a struggle for so long? I won't linger on that question long. I'd much rather just be happy.

March 7, 2006
Once again, dominant pitching led to a win for the Bisons. The Bisons extended their win streak to four on Tuesday, March 7 in a 7-1 victory against Samford, in Birmingham, Alabama.
Robbie Smithson got the start for the Bisons, his first of the year.
The Bisons wasted no time in getting on the board. The first batter of the game, Tadd Brewer was hit by a pitch. Ryan Mitchell followed with a single down the left field line advancing Brewer to third. However, Brewer would be thrown out at the plate after the next batter, Zac Miller, grounded into a fielder's choice. With two outs, Justin Sanders doubled to right center, plating two runs and giving the Bisons a 2-0 lead.
It was all the run support Smithson would need. In 6.1 innings of work, Smithson gave up just one earned run on four hits and three walks. He struck out four.
The Bisons added two more runs in the top of the sixth. Zac Miller led off the inning with a single to left field. After Ryan Price reached on an error, Justin Sanders was hit by a pitch. Jeff Baumgartner followed with a bunt single to make the score 3-0. The next batter, Patrick O'Rourke, hit a sacrifice fly to center to score the Bisons fourth run of the game.
The Bulldogs scored their only run of the game in the seventh inning on an RBI fielder's choice by Luke Peavy.
Charles Williams came on in relief of Smithson in the seventh and closed out the game. In 2.2 innings, Williams gave up just two hits and a walk. He struck out four.
The Bisons added three more runs in the ninth to complete the scoring.
With the win, Smithson's record improved to 2-0.
The Bisons take the field again on March 10, when they return to Ken Dugan Field to take on East Tennessee at 4 p.m.

It was something of a surprise, the report from the World Economic Forum, ranking the U.S. 45th of 146 countries in its "index of environmental sustainability."
With all the strides this country has made over the past three decades in correcting the grossest of our environmental failings, one would think we'd have fared better.
It's no real stretch to understand why Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, and other northern-clime countries were at the top of the list, what with their windswept, icy locales, relatively low population/motor vehicle densities, and long-standing governmental policies directed at keeping them as pristine as possible.
Less fathomable are the above-the-U.S. rankings of several European and Latin American nations, which were years behind us in adopting unleaded gasoline and anti-pollution technology for automobiles. I've been to Paris when one could hardly see the top of the Eiffel Tower for the choking auto smog that hung over the city.
Ditto for Barcelona and London and Lisbon and Madrid, where the black grime that covered historic churches and buildings wasn't as much from the dirt of the ages as the gunk spewed from vehicles still running on leaded gas, with no emission controls. Oh, and let's not forget Mexico City, which still has air so befouled that it's not uncommon to see people on the streets wearing masks.
Spain, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and Mexico were, rightfully, ranked below the United States.
However much the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and some of its regulations have been cussed over the past 30 years, America, on balance, is now the better.
Had it not been for the EPA dragging the U.S. auto industry, kicking and screaming, into the war on air pollution through emission controls, a lot of us would probably be walking around with masks. The dollar cost has been enormous, and we pay more every time we buy an auto — but how much is breathable air worth to you, your children?
Though it was a long time coming, the smoke-belching diesel trucks are now having to clean up their act.
The U.S. electric power industry, a major polluter of air and water, also had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the environmental protection arena. Their costs, too, were enormous, and they still aren't as clean as they could be. But they're light years ahead of where they were.
Rivers and streams that were so polluted with industrial contaminants that, in one horrible instance, a river actually caught on fire, are now much improved, though there are still problems, as with the lower Mississippi River.
Agriculture, long labeled a major polluter from rampant soil erosion and fertilizer/chemical runoff, has cleaned up its act through a wide range of measures, including the increasingly widespread use of minimum- or no-till practices. Ultra-low rate, exceptionally safe pesticides, combined with precision application technology, have greatly reduced exposure to humans and wildlife, and the increasing focus on conservation measures is providing additional protection for fields, forests, and habitat.
We may not be at the top, but given the vast scope of this country and the monetary resources available, we've come a long way.

Plans to create the world's first open-source fully operational firearm – created on a 3D printer – have hit a slight snag with the news that the manufacturer that created the printer being used in the design process has seized the machine being used by the people behind the project, claiming that it is not willing to allow its hardware to be used for a project that violates federal firearms laws.
We reported on Defense Distributed's Wiki Weapon project last week after it reached its $20,000 crowdfunding goal essentially solo, having been pushed out by IndieGoGo for, again, concerns surrounding the legality of actually creating a working gun via 3D printer with an aim of then releasing the plans online for free, so that anyone with access to 3D printing technology could, worryingly easily, create a firearm of their own. The project is the brainchild of one Cody Wilson, a law student from Texas who defended it in the abstract under the constitution's right to bear arms – "People say you're going to allow people to hurt people, well, that's one of the sad realities of liberty. People abuse freedom, but that's no excuse not to have these rights or to feel good about someone taking them away from you," he said in response to criticism – but also admitted that there may be valid legal concerns about the project moving forward. "I haven't felt any real heat yet, but I think it's very possible the project might happen outside of America or the files might be hosted outside of America," he's said when asked about potential legal threats. "The point of manufacture might also have to be outside of the United States."
Apparently, that point of design may need to be outside of the United States as well, following new developments.
Stratsys, the company that created the uPrint SE 3D printer being used by Defense Distributed in the creation of the prototype, has released a statement about its seizure of the equipment, saying that it acted after discovering that Defense Distributed didn't have a firearm manufacturer license. "It is the policy of Stratasys not to knowingly allow its printers to be used for illegal purposes," the company explained in a letter to Wilson himself. That's a charge that Wilson denies, saying "Our intentions are not to break the law. This is America; I don't need to register a thing."
If that sounds a little over-the-top and defiant to you, Wilson can apparently back it up. He told the Guardian newspaper that he approached the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives about Wiki Weapon, and was told that there were no clear guidelines on whether or not a license was necessary. "Basically, the law has not anticipated this," Wilson explained. "Current laws rely on conventional ideas of what a gun is."
Wilson isn't deterred by this latest setback, having applied for a manufacturer's license, and started work on turning Defense Distributed into a company in the traditional sense. "We'll get there," he said of the project's ultimate aim, "but I guess I've got to turn into a capitalist before it's all said and done."

The 49ers have not yet responded to our email regarding whether the team knew about cornerback Eric Wright's recent arrest before trading for his rights from Tampa Bay. But the Niners have issued a statement announcing the trade, and in it G.M. Trent Baalke seems to acknowledge that the organization was aware of Wright's most recent red flag.
"We are pleased to add Eric to our team," Baalke said. "As an organization, we have done our due diligence and anticipate Eric working hard to contribute to the 49ers."
If the Niners didn't know, they gain nothing by admitting it — unless they plan to publicly call out the Bucs for duping them.
There's still a chance the 49ers will opt to ease their way out of this one by flunking Wright on his physical. Indeed, the release from the 49ers expressly points out that, "[f]or the trade to be executed, Wright must pass a physical in the Bay Area next week."
Don't be shocked if the 49ers decide that Wright isn't healthy enough to play for the team.

digital clouds needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 21 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Hi, We are a husband and wife with two kids ... we use lots of name tags for the kids (as do our friends) and want to start printing our own labels/tags .. so, to do this, we would like to put together a collection of fun, cartoon style, labels we can use on the tags and the labels (name labels, you know the ones our parents use to put on our underwear for school camp!).
The target audience is kids - so the labels need to be fun (our kids are still quite young ... so we are thinking monsters, dinos, trucks, etc.) ... since the main printer used for this sort of thing is b/w they need to work both in b/w and in colour (thats for the avery labels - lunch boxes, etc. or actual tags).
(edit: we have changed the word 'monochrome' to 'b/w' as it was causing some greyscale designs to be submitted, which will not work on the printer we will be using .. so this should avoid any confusion in regards to the word 'monochrome')
In short, this is what we are after:
a pack of 30 icon (produced once in colour and once in b/w - so a total of 60 images), 5 labels for each of the following categories:
(n) - Animals (i.e. cat, dog, horse, fish, etc.)
(b) - Dinos / Monsters
(b) - Transport (cars, airplanes, boats, trucks, trains, etc.)
(n) - Kids (girls & boys - doing activities .. surfer girl, boy with ball, etc.)
(g) - Angles / Fairies
(g) - Flowers / Plants
The b = targets boys, n = targets both boys and girls, g = targets girls ... we are open to other categories, but we would like to keep a general balance.
We need to be able to reduce them in size to about 1 cm (height) - the focus here is on the b/w versions as these are the ones we will use the most - the label printer we use is 200 dpi.
The coloured version of the icons can be a little larger as colour tends to turn into a big blur when reduced, and we would probably print them on actual tags which are generally quite a bit larger (5+ cm).
Anyhow .. our thinking is that the coloured versions are coulorized versions of the b/w ones (these would be more in line art style) - so basically 30 icons, one set before they are colourized, and one set after.
If you need examples of what we are after we can track down some stock images that are close to what we are looking for ...

Dr. Turck Holds
Hopeful View
Dr. Charles J. Turck, president
of Macalester College, today said
that the American people forget
that there are moral resources
for peace.
Dr. Turck, who will retire as
president June 30, was the guest
speaker at a convocation held in
the fieldhouse at 10 a.m. This pro-gram
also featured the Bethel
college male chorus.
The "Moral Resources f o r
Peace" as expressed by Dr. Turck
are tolerance, intelligence, and the
will for brotherhood. He said that
within the limit set by national
safety, we must learn to be toler-ant
of other nations and to co-exist
with nations whose purposes
we distrust.
Knowledge must be dedicated to
the welfare of the world, and not
the enhancement of national pride,
he continued. Dr. Turck concluded
by saying that the will for bro-therhood
and peace will prevail for
three reasons: geographic, historic
and religious.
from 8 to 8:30 p.m. will be tele-vised
Feb. 5.
TWO EXAMINATIONS will be
given : a mid-semester on Monday,
March 31, and a final on Monday,
May 26. Students will take the
examinations at Bethel.
Opportunities to participate in
discussion groups at the College
of St. Catherine in preparation for
examinations will be offered to
students who take the course for
credit. These groups will meet in
Mendel Hall, the College of St.
Catherine, at 7:30 p.m. on three
Mondays: Feb. 10, March 24, and
May 19.
THE AIM of the course is to
present some of the basic psycho-logical
facts and principles which
throw light on the attainment and
preservation of mental health. Its
primary emphasis will be upon the
normal, healthy, and "self-actual-izing"
personality and the per-sonal,
social, and cultural factors
which are conducive to psychologi-cal
health, Dean Larson said.
The instructor will be Sister
Annette, professor of psychology
and dean of the College of St.
Catherine. Sister Annette received
her Ph.D. in psychology from the
University of Minnesota and has
been a Fullbright research scholar
at the University of Louvain in
ARRANGEMENTS for taking
the course can be made through
the college office. The cast will
be $30. The textbook by James E.
Royce, Personality and Mental
Health, may be purchased at the
Bethel Bookstore on special re-quest.
Registered students will re-ceive
bibliographies and study

Student Views Sought
An appeal arose last year from the student body for better
relations between the students and the administration. Difficulties
showed that fewer misunderstandings would occur if problems were dis-cussed
and explained by both sides, previous to action.
JOINT COMMITTEES of students and administration heads were
proposed for these discussions. Every month now, the executive com-mittee
of the Student Senate meets with the dean of students and faculty
representatives as the Student Personnel committee. They talk over
campus programs and attitudes with particular emphasis on the stu-dent's
viewpoint. Student services, such as the dining hall have been
Another committee of student leaders meets with the entire ad-ministrative
committee each month to comment on the current differ-ences
and problems being faced. Here suggestions are made as to the
programs that are being carried on and approval and help is solicited
for new ones.
BESIDES THE SPECIFIC topics that have been discussed and
resolved, an important by-product of these meetings has been the richer
appreciation of the various groups' ideas and attitudes.
Perhaps more important now is communication between the popu-lace
of the student body and their representatives. Although the leaders
desire to express the views of the students, thy cannot do so unless the
student first expresses himself to them.
THE LEADERS in the senate are concerned that they should really
represent the students' views and problems. To have ideas and opinions
and only state them to your immediate friends nullifies the value of
them. Contrary to popular opinion, senate leaders are not conscious
of everything that needs attention. They need the students help to
serve better.
CHANNELS OF EXPRESSION are class presidents, dormitory
counselors and councils, senate committeemen, your elected senate
officers, and letters to the CLARION. If any student is concerned about
any part of campus life, he should talk to the people who can do some-thing
about it. That's what they're far.
Dark Is The Evening
My friend and I groped to a table with our trays, settling ourselves
with a sigh at the end of our perilous journey. It was dress-up night
in the dining hall.
"I wonder what kind of food we have," I said, impaling my friend's
fingers on my fork as he tried to make off with my butter in the gloom.
"Taste it and find out," he replied. "All I can say is that this
salad I'm eating is mighty dry and tasteless."
I GINGERLY MANEUVERED a few spoonfuls of food into my
mouth. "I discovered," my friend said, "what was wrong with the
salad. I ate three of my napkins."
"They taste better with sugar," I said, scraping a glob of potato
off my only pair of dress trousers.
"I wonder if there's anyone else sitting at this table," he said
some moments later.
"Dunno," I replied. "A cat couldn't see that far in this pitch
darkness. Should I go around and find out?"
"You'd never find your way back."
"True," I said, lifting my tie out of my gravy.
"I HAVEN'T SEEN a single other person tonight," my friend
said, "but they must be here — you can hear them."
"If you do manage to catch a glimpse of anyone, you can be sure
he'll be dressed in his very best."
"How nice," he said.
We had nearly finished our meal when, "This table leg sure sounds
odd," I said, whacking it soundly a couple of times with my foot.
"That," a voice said icily in my ear, "is not a table leg."

A Man Is

I met a man, older than time,
Lost and alone, a fool was he;
Sitting alone on a lonely bank
by a lonely river,
A statue of misery and dejec-tion.
And he said to me,
"I saw a beggar that was a king,
A servant that was a master,
A man that was a God;
Who gave companionship to the

By my power of prayer,
A lord in my realm of wealth.
I prayed and the hungry beggar
heard my prayer,
I walked and he saw my strut,
1 lived for myself,
And 'yet I died—in envy of this
beggar god.
For the Law was my god,
My wealth was an idol,
Myself my life,
My pride my sin.
I saw the son of God who came,
But a sheep for the slaughter,
God had made.
And myself for the grave, my
wisdom gone,
I would not take —
This gift from God."
And the statue moved, and he
did walk
A lonely and dejected man,
Moving into the sunset;
And his bell clinked tiny,
And his voice faded slowly —
Into oblivion,
"A fool, unclean,
Unclean, unclean."
I met my God; time had stop-ped;
Nearer he came, as I prayed,
Sitting alone on a lonely bank
by a lonely river.
0 Lord of heaven and earth
Give Thy love through me,
That I may give the health, the
The life Thou gayest me.
I am a man saved to love —
amen — amen.
Something To Think On
by L. Van Heerden
"Any truth taken to an extreme becomes an untruth"—Dr. A. W. Tozer
We have already discussed the implications and application of the
above maxim. What is now equally important is to realize that to
avoid carrying any one truth to excess and distortion, it must be
balanced and held in check by some opposite truth.
The following examples are an attempt to use one-word concepts
and they are open to misinterpretation. Perhaps you can improve on
them. The two virtues guard against the vices on either side.
recklessness courage self-preservation cowardness
folly faith reason unbelief
fanaticism enthusiasm knowledge intellectualism
gullible teachable critical cynical
brutal firm gentle "spineless"
fearful cautious confident "cock-sure"
compromise cooperation isolation "crack-pot"
overbearing friendly reserved snob
self-indulgence self-expression self-control self-anihilation
To hold the two virtues in a delicate balan:ce is a never-ending
and strenuous task. Always, there is the tendency to go to one ex-treme
or the other. Modern life is so complex that while we may suc-ceed
in balancing certain areas of our lives we are woefully "tipped
over" in others.
"They seem never to realize how many of the miseries of mankind
are due not to malice, but to misdirected zeal and unbalanced virtue".

The CLARION would like to run a series of articles on various
campus problems.
We need your ideas and suggestions as to topics that you would
like to see discussed. If you are disturbed about such things as school
finances, the dating problem, the food service, senate procedures, etc.,
we would appreciate hearing your opinions.
Names of letter writers will be withheld if requested. Place your
comments in the box located just inside the library entrance or in post
office box 350.

This is the third article in a series to introduce Senate committees.
This article on the cultural council is with its chairman, Lawrence Van
Question: Who else is on the council?
Answer: Phyllis Anderson, Bill MacKinney, Jim Sheldon, Gene
Thompson and Roy Brottlund. Eugene Johnson, assistant professor of
art is our adviser.
Q: What are their duties?
A: Phyllis is our secretary and Bill is projectionist. Jim, Gene, and
Roy are representatives of the Art, Music, and Drama clubs respectively.
Q: What is your relation to those clubs?
A: The clubs function by themselves, presenting programs related
to their interests and handling their own planning and publicity. We
•only support them financially when necessary.
Q: What are the functions of the council?
A: Besides these clubs and their activities we bring various types
of films to the campus. Besides travelogues and other films such as
"The Living Desert" already shown, we hope to present more dramatic
presentations of the vital issues of life, such as war, racial discrimina-tion,
or poverty. Also some foreign films from Russia or Italy can be
We also are planning a Fine Arts festival for the second week of
March in connection with the college's fine arts department. Co-ordinat-ing
the clubs for it, we will plan programs for each night with such
events as piano and voice recitals, an art exhibit and lecture, a Shake-speare
recital, a dramatic film, and various other musical programs
using local and outside talent.
Through posters and announcements we also try to keep the stu-dents
aware of other cultural programs in the Twin Cities.
Q: What are your objectives of the council?
A: Our purpose is to cultivate in each student an appreciation
of good art, whether in music, painting, or dramatic presentation.
We want to raise cultural and social problems that will make the
student think. We want to entertain.
Q: What success have you had?
A: In this area, success, as far as objectives, cannot always be
But the clubs are functioning well; The music club brought the
Madrigal singers and the drama club presented their plays last night.
We also had an art exhibit and lecture.
For these there was a good turnout, as there was also for some
of the films.
Q: How are you financed?
A: The Senate gives us about $160 per semester and we receive
60% of the intake of the public programs presented by the clubs. This
is not enough for us. We would like to see the inclusive fee budget
reorganized with an expansion of funds for student activities.
We will use what we can get, but we could present a more suffi-cient
program if we had more.
Q: What are your major problems?
A: Not enough money, lack of time to work on it, and need of
adequate publicity hamper our effectiveness.
Also, the behavior of some students at respectable occasions is
disgraceful. Much self reform is needed here.
Q: What value to the campus are you?
A: As we fulfill our objectives we are of great value. We hope to
have made at least a little impression on the student body and helped
them thereby.

Royals Split Games in Wisconsin Trip
Basketball "is busting out all over!" At least this seems to be
the popular contention at Bethel. Basketball competition in the men's
intramurals has started off with close rivalry and keen student inter-est.
Attendance at varsity games has greatly increased over last year.
EVEN THE GIRL'S cage team, just beginning to function since
Christmas, may be stronger than last year. Led by Marilyn Junker
and coached by Mrs. Lundin, these female hoopsters should be able
to equal their 7-2 record of last season. But naturally the big factor
of this present basketball craze on campus is the varsity.
In spite of their disappointing and costly loss to Milton last Satur-day,
the Royals are definitely not out of contention for the Badger-
Gopher title. They have seven league games remaining, five of which
are on the home floor, while undefeated Milton has eight conference
tallies yet to play. Much could still happen.
BETHEL FANS WILL be able to get their first look at league
competition on the Bethel court tomorrow night in the Northland
game. Moreover, the Royals can take over second place with a victory.
Northland with a 1-0 league record, own a 1-4 record in all games.
Led by Arsten with 27 points, they have defeated Northwestern of
Wis., 98-91., in their only conference encounter.
It is interesting to note that Bethel's 10-3 mark is the best won-lost
record for all games of any team in the conference. In league
games before last weekend, the Royals had no player in the top ten
conference scorers. Through the first nine Royal contests, the cagers
averaged 74.1 points per game while holding their opponents to 68.2.
Young and Bottenfield led the scoring with 19.2 and 14.8 averages res-pectively.
THE LOSS OF POMMERENKE will probably hurt the team,
especially offensively. To replace Pommerenke, who was averaging
14.4 points per game until his injury in the Taylor game, Coach Peter-son
has moved Borms to guard and left Knoner, Turnquist, and Linda-man
at forward.
Vacation Brings 3 Wins;
Mich. Tech. Takes Tourney
The Bethel five downed Wisconsin Tech 72-52 on the opponent's
floor on Dec. 20 for their third straight league victory. Pommerenke
and Bottenfield each hit for 16 paints.
On Jan. 1 the visiting Taylor university cagers dropped a 74-60
contest to the Royals. Borm's 20 points were high for the Royals. The
team lost veteran guard Bob Pommerenke for several weeks when he
suffered a costly wrist fracture during the game.
Bethel's invitational tourney Jan. 3-4 saw Michigan Tech emerge
as victor among the four competing teams. Bethel took their second
loss of the season, 69-61, at the hands of Valley City in their opener,
but they came back to defeat Northwestern of Mpls., 71-54. Young was
high scorer in both contests, garnering 29 points against Valley City
and 17 against Northwestern.

that Bethel played and pressing a
fast game, the Milton team ended
the first half 6 points ahead and
the last half 22 points ahead.
Many of the last points were pick-ed
up as Bethel pressed and pick-ed
up fouls in the last minutes.
Although Bethel led by as many
as 10 points in the first half, poor
shooting and ball handling played
into Milton's hands. The Royals,
unable to get together after the
half failed to close the steadily
widening gap.
Wes Young tallied 22 points for
Bethel while both Padwell and
Bartz for Milton took 20 each.
Contest Close
With River Falls
Bethel's cagers took a close con-test
on their home court, Tuesday,
Jan. 7th from River Falls state
college, River Falls, Wis., 56-52.
Both teams played a tight zone
forcing each other to shoot from
the outside time after time.
A 2-2 tie was as close as the
Royals could come to the Falcons
until the end of the first half
when Turnquist, who had replaced
Knoner, tied it up 26 all with a
foul shot.
TERRY BOTTENFIELD, the
games high point man with 13,
and Les Borms kept the host team
in the game with long set shots.
Wes Young picked up three fouls
and was replaced by Byron Linda-man
midway in the first half.
Lindaman helped the Royal cause
considerably with his corner shot.
He picked up 10 for the night as
did Borms.
LES BORMS hit two long
sets to put the Royals ahead for
the first time in the game. River
Falls tied it up 32 all but were
never threatening again as the
Royals built up a 11 point lead
Although they slowed the game
up in the last few minutes, Bethel
held their own against a press to
end the game 56-52.

Leadership Problems
Discussed At Retreat
by Hope
"We, as Christians, have the res-ponsibility
of leadership because
of our duty to make moral deci-sions."
Thus spoke Dr. Walfred
Petersen, chairman of the Political
Science department, at the leader-ship
Retreat held Saturday, Jan.
11, at Lyman Lodge on Lake Min-netonka.
Dr. Peterson gave the key-note
address at the day of leadership
training and discussion. Various
aspects and qualities of leadership
including "Why we need leaders,"
"The who and why of leadership,"
and "Problems and limitations of
leadership at Bethel," were dis-cussed
by the thirty-five persons
who attended.
IN THE FIRST session, the
four groups discussed qualities
and characteristics of good lead-ers,
and thought such
qualities as reliability, compata-bility,
patience, originality, emo-tional
stability, and gregariousness
were included.
It was established that a well-

Robert Handohin of the Farmers
Union grain terminal association
will speak at the first formal meet-ing
of the new Discussion group
tonight at 9 p.m. in the seminary
Topic for the discussion will be
the cooperative's ideas toward
farm policy and the farm program.
Handchin, in the legislative re-search
department of the Farm-er's
Union, will represent the farm-ers
view on parity, price supports,
and the overall Benson program.
The newly formed discussion
group is planning a variety of pro-grams
mainly of a political and
social nature. Those interested are
invited to attend and participate
in the discussion.
Dorm parties have been sched-uled
to follow the basketball
games on Jan. 17 and 25 and Feb.
1, the first being during Sno Daze.
Each night there will be three
types of entertainment — ice
skating, tobogganing, and games.
THE DORMS have been divided
according to floors, the basement
and first floor of Edgren being
considered as one floor.
At the first party the first
floors of Edgren and Bodien will
toboggan, the second floors will
ice skate, and the third floors will
have their party in the recreation
room in the boys' dorm.
ACCORDING to Carl Linden,
freshman responsible for planning
the parties, a "round robin" will
be held with the first floors going
ice skating, the second floors meet-ing
in the recreation room, and
the third floors going toboggan-ing
on Jan. 25.
If there is no snow, Carl said
that the tobogganing party group

as the ability to take and evaluate
criticism, a strong self-discipline,
and a real sense of dedication were
deemed invaluable.
areas of leadership were demon-strated
when the groups were
asked to plan a campus function
such as Homecoming. This was
aided by a list of duties of a
leader presented by Dr. Peterson.
These included planning, organiza-tion,
staffing, directing, coordin-ating,
reviewing, and budgeting.
However, it was soon
realized that leadership

PRESIDENT JACK Tierney
summarized the day by present-ing
our duty of assuming leader-ship
as Christians, and stressing
the importance and difficulty of
making right decisions. The day
closed with a period of prayer and
testimonies and a great realization
of the uniting power of Christian-ity.
There was a spirit of coopera-tion
and unity present the entire
day. It was a day valuable in the
experience of every person in at-tendance.

in March, 1946.
Dale and his wife were appoint-ed
by the Board of Foreign Mis-sions
for service in China on Dec.
6, 1945. The choice of China as a
field of service was confirmed by
the close fellowship between Dale
and a Chinese student at the Uni-versity.
After the communist occupation
of Tsingtao in 1949, where Rev.
Bjork was serving, he and his
wife had to return to America,
but soon were appointed as mis-sionaries

last summer.
DURING CHRISTMAS vacation
partitions were removed between
five offices on the west wall to
make one large seminary stack
room. "About 16,000 volumes will
be housed in this area," Mr. Gus-ton
Along the west wall of the sem-inary
stack room a number of
Carrell tables will be constructed.
These tables are separated from
each other to provide privacy in
lab containing both religious and
secondary education material will
be in one of the three offices on
the north wall connected by a hall
to the seminary stack room.
The other two offices will be
used as study rooms.
Language listening records and
tapes will be kept in two of the
rooms on the east wall.
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS in-cluding
the Baptist General con-ference
archives and historical col-lections
will be housed in the re-maining
rooms on this wall.
These rooms are along a hall
formerly connected to the main
stack room but now entered by
turning right at the bottom of
the main stairway. This hall ends
in an exit on the north side of the
library building.
Only seminary reference and re-serve
books and books from the
general collection will be kept in
the main reading room.
Before this work is complete all
the books in the library will be
moved once and some will be mov-ed
several times, Mr. Guston said.
Plans for remodeling were ap
proved by President Carl Lund-quist
just before Christmas vaca-tion.

Help Mike Baryla get on the NRA Board Of Directors Ballot!
Many of you guys know me from the store or Cal-FFL. I am running for NRA Board of Directors. I need 250 Signatures from NRA life members or 5 year consecutive annual members. The petition is available at www.tracyrifleandpistol.com . Please sign it and either mail or bring it in to the store. I need original signatures. If you can get a few from friends and family that will also be appreciated.
To My Fellow NRA Members and 2nd Amendment Supporters,
My name is Michael Baryla, I reside in Tracy, CA and I need your help to be elected to the NRA Board of Directors. If you have been an annual member for at least five consecutive years or are a life member I ask you sign this petition so that I can be put on the ballot.
As a long time California resident I have a deep respect and admiration for the beauty of our state. I also have a significant distaste for the current political climate. As the owner of a retail firearm store, Tracy Rifle and Pistol, not only are local politicians threatening my natural firearm rights but my livelihood as well.
I have been a long time member of Calguns.net where I go by PolishMike and I helped found Cal-FFL, an organization that fights for California based Federal Firearms Licensees. I am currently the treasurer of Cal-FFL. In the short time we have existed we have made several important strides in protecting the 2nd amendment in California.
Among other things we have:
· Played an integral part in defeating SB249 that would have made millions of rifles owned in California illegal to posses
· Petitioned the Office of Administrative Law to rule the CA DOJs Assault Weapons Permit application process is an underground regulation
· Sued Alameda County for civil rights violations relating to zoning of firearms businesses
As a NRA director I would continue to keep Californians rights in at the front of everything I do. I am not an Actor, I am not famous, but I am very in tune with the threats against the Second Amendment nationwide and especially in California.
Please go to www.tracyrifleandpistol.com to download a petition to fill out. You can bring it to Tracy Rifle and Pistol or mail to:
2726 Naglee Rd
Tracy, CA 95304
. Please remember only life members and annual members with 5 consecutive uninterrupted years of membership are eligible to sign this petition. All others can vote for me in February.
Thank You
Michael A. Baryla

The mission of the Diverse Business Partners program is to promote efficiency and profitability for Major League Baseball and its Clubs while extending Baseball's ability to contribute to the economic growth, strength and well-being of diverse communities.
MLB has been at the forefront of professional sports in recognizing the importance of diversity, both on and off the field. In 1998, Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig, authorized the creation of the DBP program, an economically driven business initiative established to cultivate new and existing partnerships with minority- and women-owned businesses, by increasing opportunities for minorities and women to participate in the procurement activities of MLB.
In October 2001, MLB announced an aggressive new public phase of the program, expanding its outreach efforts in order to raise additional awareness for the program and show interested vendors how they can participate.
Since the formation and initial implementation stages of the DBP program in 1998, MLB has incurred expenditures over $1 billion with diverse-owned businesses, making DBP an industry-leading program. The program has grown since its beginning to not just include minority and women owned businesses but also veteran-owned, LGBT-owned businesses and small businesses.
