House Of Steel Post-Game Wrapup
New Orleans Saints at Pittsburgh Steelers
Hello everyone. What an exciting game here in Pittsburgh as they finally grab victory number three in a shootout of epic proportions with the Steelers coming on top in a 38-31 game.
The game starting with everything seemed to be going all wrong again for the Steelers, ranging from the lost of two key defensive starters in Troy Polamalu and Deshea Townsend and then follow by losing a 14-point lead.
THE BIGGEST KEY HERE, they didn't lose this game and they only committed one turnover.
The biggest story of this game was Willie Parker who broke loose on runs of 72 and 76 yards to set up his own two short scoring runs in the second half, Ben Roethlisberger threw three touchdown passes and the Steelers rallied after giving away a big lead.
Parker, last week was concerned about some teammates not being hungry or were losing theirs focuse as they were in winning the Super Bowl last season after the dismal lost at home against Denver last Sunday. He can't be faulted for this effort tonight. He had closed in very close to the Steelers Single Game Record by 5 yard held by Frenchy Faqua against Philadelphia in 1970 (218) by running for 213 yard on 22 carries, with scoring runs of 3 and 4 yards in the second half. Parker had a total of 187 of his 213 yards in the second half.
The Saints (6-3) had rallied to lead 17-14 on Reggie Bush's 15 yard touchdown run on a double reverse, with Bush tumbling over safety Ryan Clark to reach the end zone. Then, lead again 24-17 on Duce McAllister 4 yard run during a 72-yard drive the Brees executed in one minute in the first half.
Drew Brees for the fifth time this season has thrown over 300 yards in a game, going 31 for 47 for 399 yards with Marques Colston making 10 catches for 169 yards in making the Steelers Secondary look like deers in headlights. The biggest thing that cost the Saints this ballgame was turning the ball over three times to Pittsburgh, are you ready for this ? ZERO TIMES!!!! A miracle has happened.
The Steelers (3-6) played most of the final three quarters without their two key defensive starters in Polamalu and Townsend, out with concussions. The injuries forced an alternate plan to go far down the bench for backups, especially with the Steelers frequently using 5 defensive backs to counter Drew Brees.
The Saints got close again at 38-31 on McAllister's second 4-yard touchdown run of the game midway through the fourth quarter. It was one of those plays that just threw the Steelers way off on defense and confused even the New Orleans Saints, but however, it was a bad snap from Jeff Faine. Saints were very forunate that McAllister was alert enough to pick the fumble up and run through an open lane for the touchdown. The winning seal for the Steelers came when the Saints chances of tying or winning ended with the Steelers' Ryan Clark recovering a Terrance Cooper's fumble at the Steelers 20 following a 25-yard pickup in the final minutes.
Other key highlights for the Steelers, Roethlisberger's touchdown passes of 37 yards to Hines Ward and 2 yards to Heath Miller. Tight End Billy Miller's fumble at the Saints 32 was recovered by Brett Keisel lead to the Heath Miller's score.
Despite the Steelers winning for only the second time since September 7th, the Steelers are still four games behind the leader, Baltimore with seven games to play when the Ravens rallied from behind to beat Tennessee 27-26 after trailing 26-7.
Could this victory start the running of the tables for the Pittsburgh Steelers? We all must remember no team with a 2-6 record at midpoint in the season ever made the playoffs, considering last year's momumental run to Super Bowl XL, could the Steelers stir a miracle and win the AFC North and the playoff berth? Join us next week as we travel to Cleveland, Ohio to face the arch-rival Cleveland Browns. The Final tonight 38-31 victory for the Steelers. Good Night and God Bless.

Final Score
Saints 21
Steelers 38
I know I'm a little late!
Thanks for the stats, buddy, that will make you and I look real good with our teamed up post game wrap.
IF I had to give someone a game ball it would be Dan Kreider,It was his block that opened the hole for willie and got the game going..
If I could start my life all over again, I would be a professional football player, and you damn well better believe I would be a Pittsburgh Steeler." -- Jack Lambert, 1990 HOF Induction Speech
I think I would want to give a game ball to everyone who touched it simply because nobody turned it over yesterday!!!

This year I'm visiting Oracle OpenWorld for the second time. Everything is now familiar, except for two differences. First one is the location of Oracle Develop, which has moved back to the Hilton Hotel, instead of the nearby Marriot Hotel. It is a nice walk, but sometimes you cannot chat after a session if you have a next session at the Moscone Center. Second difference is that it seems to me less people are attending the conference than previous year. But it's still a lot of people. One thing hasn't changed: my excitement about the conference.
The first two days were very busy. I'll quickly describe the sessions I went to. Sunday started early at 8:30 AM.
Alex Gorbachev - Demystifying Oracle Real Application Clusters Workload
A topic that with which I am not too familiar: my shop doesn't use RAC and I'm not a DBA. So I thought to use this one to get to know a little bit more. I had some trouble getting the context right in the beginning of the session, but when Alex started demonstrating the stuff on his laptop, everything fell into place. The demos were simply great. The sometimes complex load balancing algorithms were made perfectly clear by showing exactly the right things. A good start of the conference.
Steven Feuerstein - Why you should care about PL/SQL in Oracle Database 11g Now!
This was the first time I attended a session by Steven Feuerstein. Although I heard nothing new about PL/SQL, it was great to see how he presented. Very interactive and with a lot of humour.
Dimitri Gielis - Mastering an Oracle Application Express Page
In this session we learnt about what happens when APEX shows or processes a page. The session really helped to get some of my thoughts straight. One of the new things I heard was a simple button on the page design screen called "View" where you can see the order of the events that will happen. I saw that page lots of times now, but never bothered to use that.
Andrew Clarke - Designing PL/SQL with Intent
This session was totally different than I expected. It was a rather philosophical one comparing design patterns in PL/SQL with design patterns in town planning. At the end a few PL/SQL examples were shown that I liked a lot, since I preach them myself often as well, although not as well as Andrew did.
Michael Hichwa & David Peake - Oracle Application Express 4.0
A lot of nice new features were presented from the APEX development team themselves. The ones I liked most were Dynamic Actions, with which you can create client side validations declaratively, and the APEX listener. I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like the APEX listener opens up easier and supported ways to have proxy database authentication. Other new features include integrated Team Development for feedback and bug reports and the like, improved charts, websheets applications and improved tabular form handling.
Bryn Llewellyn - Online Application Upgrade
This session was renamed to "Edition Based Redefinition". Bryn very concisely talked about the 11g Release 2's killer feature: editions. Without using a demo he managed to make it perfectly clear what the feature is about and what it is not about. A few random things I wrote down: from now on an object is not defined by owner and name but by owner, name and edition. Only synonyms, views and PL/SQL of all kinds are editionable. You need to rename the table, create an editioning view with the same name as the table's former name. Then move all triggers, all privileges and all VPD policies to the editioning view. And last but not least: in 11gR2 it's now possible to add an extra column while the table is in use, whereas previously you would get an ORA-04021 lock timeout message.
Scott McNealy - Extreme innovation
This keynote was mainly aimed at assuring all Sun customers that Oracle is not trying to kill Sun's products but instead Oracle is increasing the investments in Sun's products. Larry Ellison did a good job at depicting IBM's range of hardware as inferior, slow, and not very green. He even offers $10M if your Oracle application doesn't run at least twice as fast. Now that's confidence!
ACE dinner
An evening at the Sens Restaurant for all Oracle ACEs and ACE Directors, where I've met a lot of old and new friends. Thanks to Lillian and all others at OTN for the perfect organization and a nice evening!
On Monday I attended these sessions:
Jonathan Lewis - How to become an expert
A very entertaining story about what you should do to become an expert. My rather free interpretation of the answer to this question is, to learn and really understand the basics first. If you understand the architecture of version 6, when you could still carry the documentation with you, then everything afterwards is really just a variation on the same theme. Understand exactly what Oracle will have to do when you send it a SQL statement and you'll be in a good position to know where the root cause of your problem is.
Tom Kyte - All About Metadata: Why Telling the Database About Your Schema Matters
A good story about why should have constraints, even in data warehouses. They may slow down DML a little, but it's extra information for the cost based optimizer to make smarter decisions. Extra access paths will become available. A new thing for me was to see the effect of creating a dimension object in combination with materialized view query rewrites. I have to see that one for myself one time.
Greg Rahn - Chalk & Talk: The Core Performance Fundamentals Of Oracle Data Warehousing
A story about Exadata and data warehouses and benchmarks. A different world than my usual one, which was nice. For example, this exadata machine is so fast, Greg recommends to not even use indexes anymore in most data warehouses. Of course, it all depends. I must say I was impressed by all numbers he mentioned. Those are not numbers I usually see in my clients OLTP database.
Jonathan Lewis - How to Hint
Again a very good presentation in which I heard quite a number of new things. To name a few: use_hash is only half a hint; it's better to combine this hint with the swap_join_inputs hint to explicitly state which query block should act as the in-memory table and which one as the probe table. Jonathan also had a great example of the no_merge hint, which finally became clear to me. And the parallel hint was not what I thought it would be. It's not instructing to always go parallel, but rather: if you are full scanning the table AND it's cost is lower than the serial plan, only then go parallel. Which means there might be a day your query will run serial even if it ran in parallel before, or vice versa. In this session I also learnt how an alien looks like ...
Chen Shapira - Visualization Session - Make your charts more effective for troubleshooting and presenting
This one definitely categorizes as "something completely different". Although the running example was about duration of exports, the session was about how to use graphs effectively and how they can effectively support your message, or not. Luckily I knew just enough about statistics to understand all graphs. I especially liked the Q-Q one.
Lucas Jellema - Continuous Application Application Evolution with Oracle Database 11g Release 2
Exactly the same topic as Bryn Llewellyn's session yesterday. Lucas also had a clear story and even included a few live demos that really helped. A very well explained introduction. The only unfortunate thing about both sessions is that no downsides were mentioned. And there must be several. Like test efforts being multiplied or worse performance because crossedition triggers are row level triggers. And we know what that means ... But still I liked the session for being very clear and the nice metaphores.
OTN Night
Here I just grabbed some food, but I could not find any familiar faces so I decided to leave early and catch some sleep. Which doesn't work by the way: I'm still awake each morning well before 4AM. Which is not uncommon for Europeans, it seems ...
More to come later.

Though the destruction of the Rainbow Wall was a success, it's end only caused the Conglomerate of Salt Miners to become more determined to stop the Negablokians and Skadword. Their attacks have become more formidable, resulting in Megabeard's retreat and the zambeh's neutralization. Skadword has moved his forces to a bakery, where he hopes to feed his hungry Squidheads. He has hired Blacktron and Mimetron mercenaries to defend the bakery so he may rest...
"Alright, you men defend the bakery. I'm tired.
"Of course, my lord."
The Sheriff and his police will have none of this, because the bakery's owner apparently forgot to pay his property taxes. Though really, the Sheriff just wants some donuts.
The Blue Bandana Swordsman also wants some delicious treats.
The Battlefield
Turn 1
The Sheriff's motercycles try to run over some mercs. It doesn't work.
The Blacktron leader uses his OTC to carve up the motercycle.
The mimes on the roof produce an invisible wall to hinder the knights.
One cowboy makes it to the bakery, and opens the door. He thinks it will be easy to seize the treats inside.
Turn 2
The Police move out.
Some engage the mercs, though they don't do much. Blacktron leader finishes off the motercyclists.
That impudent cowboy finds out the truth about mercenaries and Squidheads with laser guns.
The mimes produce more walls.
The knights try to fight the Squidheads, to little avail.
Turn 3
The police blow up a Blacktron Merc.
Squidheads counter the knights, killing them off. The mimes seal off the way to the bakery... for now.
A skeleton knight kills a merc.
Turn 4
The Mastermime is shot down by an angry policeman. Blacktron leader defends the door while the Blue Bandana Swordsman considers dueling him...
...His thoughts soon ended when a policeman blew him up.
The remaining mimes bring up an invisible wall directly on the skeleton knight. This somehow annihilates the poor undead.
The Squidheads are useless and can't shoot the short girl.
Turn 5
This is the last chance to get in! The Sheriff screams angrily, and his forces attempt to barge past the Blacktron leader! His heavy armor lets the merc stand his ground.
"Ah, I am now well-rested. Now it's time to get back to HATING!"
The well-rested Skadword proceeds to summon a GIANT ANGRY FIST!
Seeing the Sheriff owned so badly, everyone flees the scene. A craving for cookies is no match for potential death.
Victory for the Blacktron Mercs!
The Carnage

A 78-year-old man charged with robbing the Comerica Bank at 3361 Rosecrans St. claims he held up the bank because he was a homeless veteran and didn't like living on the street.
Dale Eugene Jenkins admitted to authorities that he robbed the bank and claimed to a KGTV reporter that he had robbed others. Jenkins has only been charged with the May 13 holdup, which netted him $80. The money was recovered, according to court records.
Jenkins was dressed in a suit and tie with a dark fedora-style hat and was arrested several blocks away while toting a rolling suitcase on the sidewalk.
"I rob banks. It's my hobby," he told the television reporter before he was placed in a patrol car.
When he was arraigned, Jenkins attempted to plead guilty, saying he did it because he was homeless. But a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf in U.S. District Court. He will next appear in court on July 29 for a motion hearing.
Jenkins also confessed to the robbery during an interview with the FBI, and initialed bank surveillance photographs presented to him, records say. Jenkins remains in custody on $50,000 bail.

Since the March 2009 decision of the Texas state board of education to adopt a set of flawed state science standards, media coverage has increasingly emphasized the possible consequences.
"Just in time for the bicentennial observance of Charles Darwin's birth, a new survey of Louisiana residents shows 40 percent of the respondents believe evolution is not well-supported by evidence or generally accepted within the scientific community," the Baton Rouge Advocate (April 14, 2009) reports.
John Holdren, the head of the White House Office of Science and Technology, told the ScienceInsider blog (April 8, 2009) that the recent adoption in Texas of a flawed set of state science standards was "a step backward."
NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott appeared as a guest on the first hour of NPR's Science Friday show on April 10, 2009.
Two projects to celebrate the Darwin anniversaries — the bicentennial of Darwin's birth and the sesquicentennial of the publication of On the Origin of Species — are soliciting video contributions.

FDA Advisory Committee Recommends Approval for Boehringer Ingelheim's Olodaterol for Maintenance Treatment of COPD
Olodaterol may provide a new treatment option in patients with COPD
Ridgefield, CT, January 29, 2013 – Boehringer Ingelheim announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee (PADAC) recommended that clinical data included in a new drug application (NDA) provide substantial and convincing evidence to support the approval of olodaterol as a once-daily maintenance bronchodilator treatment for airflow obstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. If approved by the FDA, it is anticipated that olodaterol will be marketed under the brand name Striverdi Respimat.
"We at Boehringer Ingelheim are pleased with the Advisory Committee's recommendation and look forward to continuing to work with the FDA as the Agency continues its review of the olodaterol NDA," said Tunde Otulana, MD, vice president, Clinical Development and Medical Affairs, Respiratory, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "The positive vote from the Advisory Committee marks an important step towards making olodaterol available to the approximately 24 million patients with COPD in the United States."
The Committee also voted affirmatively that data showed the efficacy and safety of olodaterol supports approval of the 5µg dose.
The Committee reviewed data from the Phase 3 olodaterol clinical trial program, including data from the 48-week and 6-week duration trials. These data are part of the NDA being reviewed to establish that olodaterol delivered once daily at the 5 µg dose showed improvements in lung function, as measured by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), in patients with moderate to very severe COPD compared to placebo and also active comparators.
The trials were conducted in a patient population representative of those seen in clinical practice. The most commonly reported adverse reactions were nasopharyngitis, dizziness, rash, and arthralgia. Patients involved in the studies were allowed to continue on their usual care with the exception of long-acting beta agonists. Usual care included anticholinergics, short-acting beta agonists, inhaled corticosteroids and xanthenes.
Full results from the Phase 3 studies included in the olodaterol NDA will be presented at a future medical meeting.
In addition to the 48-week and 6-week duration studies assessing the safety and efficacy of olodaterol, the Committee also reviewed a set of replicate studies evaluating the impact of olodaterol on exercise tolerance in COPD patients. This is the first time a company has sought inclusion of exercise tolerance data in a COPD product's label.
"Patients with COPD often have impaired exercise tolerance because lung hyperinflation develops during exercise," said Richard Casaburi, PhD, MD, Professor of Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine. "Improving exercise tolerance is a critical component of COPD management strategies."
About COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This disease makes it harder to breathe because less air is able to flow in and out of the lungs. As many as 24 million Americans may have COPD – even those who haven't smoked in years – and half of them remain undiagnosed. COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States.

Over the past five years, installed wind power capacity in the U.S. has increased at an annualized rate of 27.8% to about 57.616 GW, and industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 15.1% to $5.8 billion over the five years ending this year, finds a new report from IBISWorld.
'Annual industry revenue, however, is dependent not on the gradual implementation of wind power over many years, but on the level of new wind farm construction in any given year,' notes IBISWorld industry analyst Kevin Boyland.
Consequently, revenue may increase or decrease dramatically in any given year. However, the looming expiration of the production tax credit (PTC) is casting a dark shadow of uncertainty over the industry.
"As wind farm developers rush to meet end-of-year installation deadlines to qualify for the PTC before it potentially expires, revenue is expected to increase by an astounding 59.9% in 2012," Boyland says.
However, regardless of whether the PTC is extended, wind turbine installation activity is expected to drop off significantly in 2013, according to the report. Amid such an uncertain environment, developers have delayed or scrapped plans for new turbine installations, and getting such plans back on track will not happen right away.
Moreover, the industry will have to contend with competition from the low price of natural gas and a meager increase in electric power consumption.
IBISWorld predicts that wind turbine installation revenue will decrease 23.6% per year on average to $1.5 billion over the five years ending in 2017. While this pales in comparison to the overall robust growth of the past five years, the industry still has some bright spots on the horizon.
First, firms will likely generate a larger portion of revenue from maintenance and repair activities, as operational wind turbines age and wind turbine technology becomes more sophisticated. At the same time, a drive toward offshore wind farms will expand the industry's scope moving forward, although the benefits will not be felt immediately, as these projects often take several years to develop.

Infinite reasons manifest themselves to the advantages of couples therapy. Frequently at times, a critical situation (such as a loss or affair) may start a phase of complexity in the connection. Some couples encounter a progressive shift over time and try to shift back to a closer relationship. Couples can also implement therapy as a preventative measure, understanding useful communication techniques and relationship framework principles to prevent complications down the road. Amy works with couples to improve their connection, reduce ambivalence and promote strong habits to maintain improvement over time.

Couples come for help when, for one reason or another, they are not feeling the sense of connection and enjoyment they desire with each other. Using evidence based methods, therapy is 75 to 85% effective in helping couples make the necessary improvements. In therapy, couples learn skills and experience talking with each other on deeper levels. This allows them to work together and respond to each others needs rather then shut each other out. A thorough assessment, as therapy begins, helps couples understand how their relationship works and their specific strengths and rough spots. They learn to optimize their strengths, smooth out their rough spots and get to know each other better.

Old Kit Homes in New England
November 1st, 2010 2 comments
Recently, I was reading the 1921 Sears Modern Homes catalog and found this testimonial, written by D. S. Chase of Grafton, Massachusetts. He built his Sears Maytown somewhere in Grafton, Massachusetts.
The Maytown was one of their better homes and fairly distinctive with that cantilevered turret on the front. It'd be interesting to know if this house is still standing in Grafton!
If you know of it, and/or have an address, please leave a comment below.
BTW, notice that Mr. Chase's home has a shake roof and shingled siding (instead of clapboard)?

New Urban Features: Shifty
Mr.Scratch&Sniff met up with new film acting sensation Riz Ahmed over the weekend, watching his directorial work on a new multimedia event called 'Salaam Peace' at Manchesters Contact that featured a mix of young men from Somalia, Pakistan and Bangladesh backgrounds all looking at the theme of Islam how the experience is affecting the 9/11 urban generation.
Riz is a well assured individual and its not surprising he's featured in a range of films such as 'Road to Guantanamo', 'Britz' and is currently in the new film 'Centurion ' a feature just completing post production that also features David Morrissey (Red Riding) and Noel Clarke (Adulthood).
After sending a major press release of his work, you find he's worked with Massive Attack and Nitin Sawhney on the BBC Electric Proms as Riz MC. With a varied range of tracks to his credit, its not surprising he's waxing lyrical in the new feature and lead star of 'Swifty', developed as part of Film London's Microwave Scheme for new films.
Have a chk and peek at his lyrical vibes with an exclusive video from the original motion picture soundtrack of 'Swifty' also co- starring Danny Mays, who features in the new Spielberg film 'TinTin'. The track features Riz MC with Sway and Plan B, and is produced by Blue Bear from True Tiger…

So Lazy
So, here is the dealio, Emilio. I am supposed to write about ten things that make me happy, and then pass the award on to 10 bloggers. Easy enough. Here goes...
1. Sarah Palin I bet you thought I was going to say my daughter for #1. Well, I like to keep you on your toes. When you think I am going to zig, I zag. I am that kind of rogue. Why does Sarah Palin make me happy? First of all, because I think she ensures the Republican party will have a hard time regaining credibility. Also, because her sheer ineptitude not just as a politician, or a media figure, but as a person, makes me feel better about myself.
2. Fun Pants You may know them as "sweat pants" or "pajama bottoms," but in my world they will always be known as fun pants. After all, if I am in a situation that these pants are appropriate, I am most likely not working, probably have a drink by my side, and definitely don't have shoes on. If that isn't fun, I don't know what is.
3. The Internet Really, what would we all do without the web? We would have to actually remember things, or make multiple phone calls to find things we want. Oh, and we would have to keep porn in our homes, where people can see it, and know just how sick we all are. Just kidding on that last one (hi, Mom!). Right now, the web is doing something even more amazing, by letting people instantly send money to those in need in Haiti. You don't even need to Google it, just click on the link in my sidebar. I can't think of a better use of the net right now -- I mean, other than reading this blog.
4. Wine
5. Sarcasm No, really, it makes me happy.
6. Pasta There is nothing I would rather eat. It doesn't even have to be fancy. Just a bowl of noodles with butter and Parmesan cheese is enough to curl my toes with delight. Oh, the pasta just can't be whole wheat. Really, I don't know who thought that shit up, but it's just cruel.
7. Throwing Parties Well, that might not be accurate. I love planning parties. I love setting up parties. I love planning menus, and picking invitations, and designing themes. I love making guest lists, and making sure that there is "something special" at each bash that sets them apart. However, I am not great at attending said parties. I am lousy at mingling, and usually am just concerned about how dirty the floor is getting. Yeah, I've got issues.
8. Ryan This man loves me unconditionally, which, if you know me at all, is quite a feat. He is also funny, intelligent, kind, well read, and the best Daddy in the world. He makes me happier than wearing fun pants while eating pasta and drinking wine.
9. Good T.V. Really, there is so much crap on the tube, that when something good comes on, it's a miracle. 30 Rock. Modern Family. Glee. All of those shows are intelligent, and witty, and make me happy. Oh, and all can be watched on Hulu while giving a baby a bottle, which makes them even better.
10. Meg Saving the best for last. Oh, how I love my girl. Every day brings something new that makes me smile, and laugh with delight. Even when she is screaming, or grabbing my hair, or refusing to sleep, she makes my day. Really, how anyone be unhappy looking at this face?
Did I mention she is part Haitian? Yeah, she is, so click the link on the sidebar and donate to help those in the country devastated by the earthquake. Really, don't make me ask a third time, because that requires me coming to your house.
Okay, so that's it. Ten things that make me happy. Now, I know I am supposed to tag 10 bloggers, and ask them to write similar lists, but, in the spirit of this award, I am giving it to all of you. Because, really, all of you are winners in my book. Oh, except Kim. She can suck it.

Free at Last: A History of the Abolition of Slavery in America
The Free at Last: A History of the Abolition of Slavery in America was damaged during Hurricane Sandy and is no longer available for loan. Free at Last was the first Gilder Lehrman traveling exhibition and opened at Federal Hall on November 13, 1997. Over the next fifteen years it traveled continuously across the country to libraries, schools, and other educational institutions.
The goals of the Free at Last exhibition were threefold: to promote the study of American history and encourage public education about the importance of the abolition movement in the nation's history, to provide access to some of the highlights of the Gilder Lehrman Collection for people unable to visit the archive in New York, and to strengthen the role of the library and museum as a forum for public discussion and education in local communities. The tour succeeded in increasing public awareness of the history of the abolition of slavery across the nation.

Problem: How to prepare Wabash students for the intense interviews they'll face in the job search process, and particularly in working through case studies. Solution: A case study competition with a friendly GLCA college.
The staff of the Schroeder Center of Career Development at Wabash has discovered that Wabash men need some help preparing for case studies they're asked to develop during job interviews. Assistant Director Betsy Knott and Director Scott Crawford got together with Wabash alumni who work with Deloitte Consulting to develop a case study competition to hone the skills the Little Giants.
Betsy Knott described how the idea began and how it ended with applause and enthusiasm last Saturday night when the first "Wabamazoo Case Study Competition" took place. Here's what Betsy told us:
"Last fall (Fall 2007), after several discussions with Wabash alumni who work at Deloitte, we realized we were lacking in preparing our students for the case study interview many of them would face throughout the interview process. After a lot of conversations, we started narrowing the focus to a competition of sorts — very similar to that of the Moot Court Competition — to engage our students through this process.
"After a lot of research this summer and manye conversations with our alumni (Brian Flanigan, Gary Campbell, Steven Mewborn, Marty Brown, Jon Haug), the original proposal for a case study competition was developed. We shopped the idea around to other Great Lakes Colleges Association schools and Kalamazoo grabbed on. Having just created a business major, the Kalamazoo career services office, led by Lori Young, wanted something new to spark some interest.
"Thus, the Wabamazoo Case Study Competition was created.
"Three weeks ago, we had a selection night when teams competed for two spots in the finals against Kalamazoo. The students were given a case, five days, and asked to prepare a 10-minute presentation on their solution. We put them in front of three alumni (Herm Haffner '77, Hugh Vandivier '91, and Dave Knott '69) and those three were tasked with picking the best two teams to advance to Saturday's competition. A lot of learning took place that night as we continued to prepare for the big event with Kalamazoo.
"On Saturday, December 6 the first Wabamazoo Case Study Competition took place and with an enormous amount of success. The students were given the case the night before, and were provided with three additional hours of prep time, a laptop to create their deliverable, and a quiet room on campus to prepare for their presentation. Each team comprising four students had 15 minutes to present their solution, and took on another 10-15 minutes of questions from the six-member judging panel.
"Our judging panel was quite impressive: Dennis McCarthy '74, a Kalamazoo graduate and President of Paradigm Group, Fairfield, CT; Herm Haffner '77; Professor of Economics Frank Howland; attorney Jon Pactor '71; Jason Stanfield, a PhD Accounting student at Krannert School of Business; and Jeremy Trennepohl – Account Manager, All-Phase Electric
"The best part of the day was when the judging panel sat down in front of the teams (mind you, they made their presentation in the expansive Goodrich Room in the library), and gave them all phenomenal feedback about their solutions, their presentations, their analysis, and their composure throughout the day.
"The judges singled out each team and commented on what they did well, what they need to work on, and what all of the groups should be able to take away from this experience.
"Jason Stanfield, our judge from the Krannert School of Business, observed that each of the teams could have held their own against several of his MBA students, and they should be proud of the critical thinking skills they have developed as undergraduates.
"The 16 students who participated in this event — eight from Wabash and eight from Kalamazoo — walked away with an enormous experience that will only benefit their career development.
"And, it didn't hurt that a Wabash team comprised of Krzysztof Wojciechowski '09, Derek Lough '09, John Holmes '09, and Stanley Xu '10 won the trophy!
"The other Wabash team included Filip Lempa '10, Grant Gussman '08 (December graduate), Michael Opieczonek '09, Steve Henke '12
"Lastly, as if things couldn't get any better, Scott and I brought up the idea of a GLCA Case Competition at our GLCA Career Services Conference last week, and the response was universally positive. Each and every school indicated they are interested in participating!
"Our next steps will be creating a formal proposal, gathering the teams, and determining logistics. It was agreed that we will hold the competition in the spring, so competitors will be ready for fall interviews. We are also looking into national competitions, so we can send the winners of our GLCA competition on for greater learning and exposure."

In a continued expansion of its New York-based real estate practice, Haynes and Boone, LLP has added three more attorneys. Stuart Mass will be a partner and brings with him Of Counsel Noah Shapiro and Associate Siobhan Green.
The attorneys were previously with Paul Hastings in New York and join seven prominent partners focusing on real estate finance, real estate restructurings and litigation added earlier this year from the same firm. The collective and complementary experience of the group establishes a comprehensive legal resource for firm clients, particularly top-tier real estate conglomerates, financial institutions, real estate funds and private equity groups.
"As our group grows and the economy improves, the opportunities for our clients and the practice will likewise grow," said Steven Koch, a real estate finance partner among the seven joining Haynes and Boone in its first round of expansion. "Stuart, Noah and Siobhan serve truly blue-chip leasing clients, so it is an exciting opportunity for Haynes and Boone."
New York Managing Partner Kenneth Bezozo added that Mr. Mass, Mr. Shapiro and Ms. Green are respected and recognized leaders in their practice area. "We believe their addition makes a strong statement to the New York real estate market about our commitment to excellence," he said.
Stuart Mass devotes his practice to commercial real estate leasing transactions. He is routinely involved in several of the largest New York City leasing transactions each year, representing major landlords, such as SL Green and Brookfield Financial Properties, and premier tenants, such as Bertelsmann, Citigroup, Cushman & Wakefield and Cantor Fitzgerald. Mr. Mass has been recognized by publications such as Chambers USA and Super Lawyers.
Mr. Shapiro and Ms. Green focus on all aspects of commercial leasing transactions. As part of Mr. Mass's client team they regularly represent the same top-tier clients.
"Stuart, Noah and Siobhan are lawyers who share our collaborative approach to practicing law, share our values and who will fit well within our firm," Mr. Bezozo said.
The partners making the move to Haynes and Boone earlier this year from Paul Hastings include Kenneth J. Friedman, Robert J. Grados, Steven Koch, Lawrence Mittman, Walter F. Schleimer and Carolyn Sullivan. Those six partners are focused on real estate, real estate finance and restructurings and bankruptcies. Also joining earlier this year from Paul Hastings was litigation partner David Fleischer. The group's collective experience has proved invaluable to Haynes and Boone clients, especially as restructurings, workouts and bankruptcies continue to create opportunities.
As a result of lateral hiring and internal transfers in recent months, Haynes and Boone has significantly bolstered its New York-based litigation, bankruptcy, securities regulation, white collar crime, finance and real estate capabilities. The firm has set an overall goal of expanding to at least 100 lawyers in New York in the next several years.
Haynes and Boone, LLP is an international corporate law firm with offices in Texas, New York, California, Washington, D.C., Mexico City and Moscow, providing a full spectrum of legal services. With almost 550 attorneys, Haynes and Boone is ranked among the largest law firms in the nation by The National Law Journal. The firm has been recognized as one of the "Best Corporate Law Firms in America" (Corporate Board Member Magazine, 2001-2009), as one of "The Best 20 Law Firms to Work For" (Vault.com, 2009), and as a Top 100 law firm for both diversity (MultiCultural Law Magazine, 2009) and women (Women 3.0, 2008).

Around the World
With Swan
America, after a year of the
second world war, finds itself corn-ing
from a defensive position into
an offensive position. We now per-haps
can take an optimistic view
and see the end of the beg' ping
and the beginning of an en4.
War Cost
This one year of total war has
cost the United States more than
$46,000,000,000. Treasury state-ments
show current war expendi-tures
as about $6,000,000 a month.
As yet, we cannot say whether or
not the Allies struck too soon at
Tunisia. The deadlock of the bat-tle
shows that it is far from being
won, but it is still further from
being lost.
RAF bombers are engaged in a
series of raids against Italy, and
Premier Mussolini admits that they
are causing heavy damage.
New Guinea
In the Buna-Gona area of New
Guinea, Allied bombers broke up a
new attempt by the Japanese navy
to reinforce troops. A communique
from General MacArthur's head-quarters
informs us that Japanese
planes have violated the laws of
war by repeated attacks upon Al-lied
hospital installations, killing
doctors, medical personnel, and pa-tients.
And from the University of Texas
we hear that one of the 78 war
courses there consists of a course
for commandettes (or girl com-mandos).
*non Vaal)
The greatest event of the Christ-mas
season will be an all-school
Christmas party to be held this
afternoon, December 16th. Nels
Stjernstrom is in charge of the
program, which features music.
Dean Johnson promises a Swedish
dinner. Chairman of the decorat-ing
committee is Miss Alice John-son.
Thursday afternoon, December
10, the B.W.A. had a Christmas fes-tival.
The program consisted of
the favorite songs of Christmas-tide.
The girls of the Dormitory had
their party Monday evening, with
the women members of the faculty
as guests.
Flapping Ears Hears
Vacation Plans
As Christmas arrives, the stu-dents
leave, most all of them, that
is. I flapped my ears in the Semin-ary
and found out that Val Hauk
expects to stay in the Seminary
dorm while he chases some of the
root of all evil at Wards. Val is
going to have company in the Sem.
in the shapes of Laurence Nydeg-ger,
Dick Sleiter, Gene Nyman, Inge
Larson, Kenny Nordquist and that
social success, Elbert Walker. Most
of these gentlemen hope to spend
the vacation in acquiring lining for
their pockets.
Carol, the Reise, is going to con-tinue
her eating, sleeping and loaf-ing
at home in Minneapolis for the
four weeks. She also expects to
"Grow fat, open presents, and read
and write letters to and from her
men," she says. For purposes of
propaganda she asked me to state
that she intends to study Deutsch.
The overloaded trains are dis-couraging
some of our characters
to the point of staying here in St.
Paul. Evelyn, West of Providence,
Rhode Island, fits into the cate-gory.
Helen Heitzman is working
in town until just before Christmas
and racing home to Emery, South
Dakota, for turkey.
West Point, Nebraska, will en-joy
the presence of Elwood Ander-son
for the holidays.
Double Convocation
Features Nurses, Films
Four films which depicted the
progress of the manpower and pro-duction
program, were shown to
the boys in Convocation. The films
were put out by the W.P.B. (War
Production Board) and were very
interesting. We cannot doubt our
victory in this crucial world wide
struggle when we see the vastness
of the nation's abilities.
At the Convocation, December 8,
a group of instructors and nurses
from the Mounds-Midway School of
Nursing presented a program for
the Bethel girls to show the need
for nurses during the present emer-gency..
They also pointed out the
opportunities that nurses will have
after the war. Various phases of
the training course were discussed
by each of the representatives.
Missionary Band Sets
Objectives for. Year
By Miriam Johanson—
Study Group Leader
We as a Missionary Band, in
order to meet the needs of a chang-ing
and stricken world, have
prayerfully decided upon a two-fold
addition to our program for the
current year.
First of all, to act intelligently,
the facts must be known. For this
reason study groups, centered
around problems in connection with
individual fields, will be conducted
at least once a month for the re-mainder
of the school year, these
meetings to be limited to one hour.
The first one was held in the Girl's
Dormitory on Thanksgiving Eve.
Increased interest and spiritual
blessing result from investment in
the Lord's work. Provision, there-fore,
is made for the participation
of everyone in the Bethel family
in definite missionary giving. The
goal set for this year is $500.00.
This sum, though large, is within
reach. Invest your money—returns
guaranteed. Missionary work is not
at a stand-still; instead, souls who
would not listen before are recep-tive
today. Many missionaries have
returned, but must be provided for;
the large majority are still on the
field; native workers are maintain-ing
the work; and many are ready
to leave these shores as soon as
the war is over. In order to meet
the present situation with an eye
on future opportunities, the Ameri-can
Baptist Foreign Mission So-ciety
needs OUR SACRIFICIAL
SUPPORT. Be prepared to make
your pledge when approached in
the next few days. Let our motto
be, "On to Victory!"

• ?Unto alz a *Altar 315 iben
Through the rift in the sky made by the Star, a host of
angels swarmed, eager to wing the message of heaven to those
waiting below. Their song that morning was not only "There
is born a Saviour," but also "For unto you." The Son came, not
only as a sacrifice for the world, but also as a Gift to man.
We are all gift conscious. Our thought is not just what, or
how much we shall give, but rather, Is it commensurate with
what we shall receive. If the gifts are disproportionate, someone
will be embarrassed.
Isaiah spoke for man, "For unto us is given;" the angels
sang for the Father, "For unto you is given;" Luke wrote for
the Son, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Heaven gave the first Gift, its greatest Treasure, and set the
precedent. Even if we could return as great a gift, we would
not find favor with the Father. But His primary concern is not
what we give, but what we accept—"I will take the cup of
salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord."

"I can't concentrate' is the ex-planation
given most frequently by
students whose classroom achieve-ment
has failed to measure up to
their aspirations. This "inability
to concentrate" is often the subject
of much concern and considerable
It may be heartening to some to
learn that concentration is not a
power of faculty which some pos-sess
and others lack. At least dur-ing
such time as a person is awake,
the mind is constantly attending
to something. The trouble arises
not with lack of attention but with
our failure to direct it. A multi-tude
of stimuli are constantly bid-ding
for our attention: concentra-tion
is the process of directing and
controlling one's attention.
The factors which impair such
control may be classed under two

It is sure hard to get any sym-pathy
around Bethel these days.
Seekers are usually met with,
"You're making me cry!", in Dan-ielson
headings: those which arise out of
the conditioning and the habits of
the person, and those which arise
out of the conditions of the per-son's
environment. Effective di-recting
of the attention is very
largely a matter of habit. Each
lapse from direction makes future
direction more difficult, and con-versely
each successful attempt at
direction makes future attempts
more easily successful. Fears, wor-ries,
and dissatisfaction can build
up an unsettled frame of mind
which makes direction of attention
very difficult.
Concentration consists of clear-ing
the mind, clearing the sur-roundings
of distractions, and roll-ing
up one's sleeves before going
after the materials.

Chtistmas Thoughts
For Today
Romans XIV, 6: He that regardeth
the day, regardeth it unto the Lord.
It is a good thing to observe
Christmas day. The mere marking
of times and seasons, when men
agree to stop work and make merry
together, is a wise and wholesome
custom. It helps one to feel the
supremacy of the common life over
the individual life. It reminds a
man to set his own little watch,
now and then, by the great clock
of humanity which runs on sun
But there is a better thing than
the observance of Christmas day,
and that is keeping Christmas. ...
Are you willing to forget what
you have done for other people, and
to remember what other people
have done for you; to ignore what
the world owes you, and to think
what you owe the world; to put
your rights in the background, and
your duties in the middle distance,
and your chances to do a little
more than your duty in the fore-ground;
to see that your fellow-men
are just as real as you are,
and try to look behind their faces
to their hearts, hungry for joy; to
own that probably the only good
reason for your exstence is not
what you are going to get out of
life, but what you are going to give
life; to close your book of com-plaints
against the management of
the universe, and look around you
for a place where you can sow a
few seeds of happiness—are you
willing to do these things even for
a day? Then you can keep Christ-mas.
Are you willing to stoop down
and consider the needs and the
desires of little children; to re-member
the weakness and lonli-ness
of people who are growing
old; to stop asking how much your
friends love you, and ask yourself
whether you love them enough; to
bear in mind the things that other
people have to bear on their hearts;
to try to understand what those
who live in the same house with
you really want, without waiting
for them to tell you; to trim your
lamp so that it will give more light
and less smoke, and to carry it in
front so that your shadow will fall
behind you; to make a grave for
your ugly thoughts, and a garden
for your kindly feelings, with the
gate open—are you willing to do
these things even for a day? Then
you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that
love is the strongest thing in the
world—stronger than hate, stronger
tran evil, stronger than death—and
that the blessed life which began
in Bethlehem nineteen hundred
years ago is the image and bright-ness
of the Eternal Love? Then
you can keep Christmas.
And if you keep it for a day, why
not always?
But you can never keep it alone.

your pardon, so that's cheering. Is
that what they call it at Concordia?
Yes, I am awfully thirsty. Would
you mind terribly if I took a swal-low?
I'm sorry, I did mean to leave
half the bottle for you. What's
that you say? We made a basket.
Who's we? I never made a basket
in my life. Only Indians do that.
Oh, Bethel threw the ball in the
basket. Isn't that silly? Now what
made them do that? How can they
play when the ball is in the basket?
Don't try to explain; you make it
Look at that guy from Concordia
will you? Why don't they grow
good-lookers like that at Bethel or
am I just not very observant? That
center certainly is tall though. I'll
have to get my glasses; I can't see
that far without them. Why don't
they let the visitors have the ball
once in a while? After all, it
isn't fair to hog it all the time.

"On the Bench"
by Bo
Now that all football fever has
left the fellows here at Bethel and
all over the nation, except for the
bowl games on New Year's Day,
and we have all put our togs back
into mothballs, the sport's program
shifts from the gridiron to the bas-ketball
The Indians ; with two wins to
their credit, one over the Alumni
and the other over the hard-fight-ing
Concordia team, have already
gained some confidence which will
help them in the coming conference
schedule. The Indians have also
had the opportunity of having sev-eral
interesting scrimmages. On
November 30th, the team again
played the Alumni and were beaten
by a score of 40-38. Much credit
for the Alumni victory must go to
Gene Nyman who played brilliantly
at center and also to Del Peterson
who had just returned from the
Army Air Corps. Another defeat
was suffered at the hands of Con-cordia
in a later contest by the
score of 54-36, but the less said
about it—the better. But even
though the team has been beaten,
the games have been of much value
in helping to shape the team for
the approaching schedule.
With such fellows as "Drip" Otto,
the 5:30 sharpshooter, Bob "Kill-
'em" Bergerud, Gene "One-Eyed"
Johnson, Gus "Never-miss" Gustaf-son,
Gordon "Lanky" Johnson, Tom
"Dreamer" Thompson, Rune
"Baldie" Mentzer, Willie "Wild"
Wessman, Bob "Bomber" Hailes,
John "Hunky" Danielson, Inge
"Brown-Eyed" Larson, Bob "Mapie"
Norstrom, and many others prom-ising
freshman and sophomore,
sure-fire basket shooters, there is
no reason why the team should not
have a successful season. Another
bright spot for the Indians is Don
Johnson's coaching. Don is doing
a good job in replacing Bill Adams,
our coach of last year.

Concordia payed back with divi-dends
the loss they suffered in the
first contest between Bethel and
Concordia. On December 5, the
Comets overpowered the Bethel
squad by a score of 54-36. Even
though the high scoring honors
went to Shine Swanson, with 14
points, the high scoring on the
Comet team overshadowed him.
Hanneman and Grumm led the op-ponent
attack with 12 points each
while Hinricks and Meichsner fol-lowed
close with 10 points each.
Fouls were plenteous on both
sides, each team losing 2 men on
that account. The distinct advan-tage
lies with the team playing on
its own floor and this was decis-ively
shown in this contest. We had
a small but noisy cheering section.
With a score of 35-25, the Bethel
"B" spuad played the Concordia
second team preliminary to the
varsity game and were adminis-tered
a defeat, not as severe as the
varsity's, but the second defeat to
a Concordia team.
Scoring honors went to Himrich
of Concordia with 9 points. Mesen-brick
of Concordia and Mentzer of
Bethel each had 8 tallies with Fran-cis
Otto credited with 7. This
game, as the varsity game, was
well-stocked with fouls, three
Bethel players and two Concordia
men leaving the game on this ac-count.

Scalp Augsburg
Saturday, December 12, the Beth-el
Indians played the Augsburg
'Freshmen Cagers at the Minnea-polis
Armory and won a rather
slim victory by the score of 22-18.
The gym was new and made it
somewhat difficult for our boys to
get the range of the basket but,
apparently, the "Auggies" had
their difficulties too. Rune Ment-zer
was high-point man for both
teams with seven tallies. Thomp-son
of Bethel, and Markgraf of
Augsburg, followed with 5 each.
This game proved a good build-up
for the thriller that followed
between the Augsburg Varsity and
St. Cloud Teachers. The game tied
and went into two overtimes with
St. Cloud winning by a one point
margin 62-61.

Representing yourself in court
Your responsibilities
The decision to represent yourself in court is an important one. When making this decision you must be aware of the responsibilities you are undertaking. The following are the basic responsibilities of a self-represented litigant.
You must follow the same standards of a lawyer.
You should follow all the rules that apply to lawyers. If you fail to follow the rules, you may be subject to the same penalties as if a lawyer represented you.
For example, if you fail to file required paperwork with the court your case might be postponed to another date or dismissed entirely. You also could have an unfavorable ruling made against you that could affect issues such as visitation or the distribution of assets.
You should understand the legal process.
The legal process is a complex and sometimes difficult to understand. Decisions you make during the process could adversely affect the outcome of your case. If an attorney represents the other party in the case you will be at a disadvantage.
You will have to do your homework.
Representing yourself in a case may require a substantial amount of your time outside the courtroom. This includes gathering evidence in the proper form, completing forms that include instructions similar to tax forms, and completing research of statutes, rules of procedure and case law that apply to your case. Be aware that while court personnel are available to answer procedural questions concerning your case, they are prohibited from giving legal advice.
You need to remain objective.
You have a personal interest in the outcome of the case that may deprive you of objectivity that you will require to present your case effectively.
You must maintain the integrity of the legal system.
Communication between the parties and judge is restricted. Judges must be fair and impartial. For that reason, they are not allowed to discuss the case with only one of the parties. If information needs to be presented to the judge concerning the case both parties must be present.
You will be required to be on time.
The court has a very busy schedule and only a limited amount of time to hear cases. It is also not a good idea to keep the judge who is going to decide your case waiting.
You should keep a file.
A copy of each document or piece of information that is filed or that is delivered to the court should be kept in your file.

The high school loner named Tom is the killer in the series premiere of the new crime procedural "Motive" (9 p.m. CT Monday, ABC; 2 stars out of 4). Before you dash off an angry email or tweet to me crying spoilers, understand that I've spoiled nothing the show doesn't within the first minutes of each episode.
Created by "Dexter" producer Daniel Cerone, "Motive" begins by introducing THE KILLER (yes, in all caps on screen) and THE VICTIM. It then dives into the gimmick signaled by its title—the whydunit, if you will.
But for viewers, unraveling the why is neither as fun nor as interesting as discovering the who. Look at it this way: Would "Dallas" or "Twin Peaks" have branded themselves into the pop cultural landscape with teaser lines like "Why did someone shoot J.R.?" or "Why was Laura Palmer killed?"
I don't think so.
That's not to say that "Motive" doesn't have anything going for it. Kristin Lehman, whom some might remember from the whodunit "The Killing" (which, coincidentally, used the line "Who killed Rosie Larsen?" in its promotions), plays Det. Angie Flynn. Both believable and appealing as the hard-bitten homicide investigator, Lehman provides the only real motive for tuning in.
Her Flynn is a single mom who has the uncanny ability to ferret out a murderer within 20 minutes of each episode. She and her partner, Det. Oscar Vega (Louis Ferreira, not given enough to do) spend the rest of each hour trying to make an arrest after proving the murderer's motive.
In the premiere, Tom (Tyler Johnston) doesn't have much a motive for killing a popular teacher (played by former New Kid on the Block Joey McIntyre), which is an unfortunate way to kick off a show called "Motive."
The show's better second episode, airing Thursday when "Motive" moves into its regular time slot, is about a mayoral candidate who runs over his babysitter because—I can't tell you! That would be a spoiler.

This is my story
This summer, I made my second trip to Herat University in Afghanistan to teach English to the students who will help rebuild their country after years of war.
The students use English-language textbooks in their engineering, math and science courses so it is very important they learn to speak the language. Some of them have had six years of English lessons, but others have had only six months of training and are just learning the basics. One of my challenges was to figure out a way to accommodate everyone.
If there's one thing Afghanistan needs, it's engineers. My students, along with a group who graduated from the University of Hartford in May, will do everything from designing earthquake-proof buildings to creating water purification system to preserving the country's beautiful architecture.
When I made my first trip to Herat University in the summer of 2008, the students were very curious about me. They said they were honored I traveled all the way from the United States to teach them.

A few months ago I featured this same printable with homemade baked goods. This time around, I was squeezed for time - like running out the door and remembered that I should probably bring a housewarming gift!
You can get the FREE Home Sweet Home printable (available in four color combos), in my previous post!
