About Me
Don Donovan
- Don Donovan: Biography
I was born on 20 January 1933, nine days before Hitler came to power in Germany, I grew up in south London. Although evacuated during the phoney war and the quieter times I lived in and out of air raid shelters during the blitz and experienced both V1 and V2 attacks on London. Left grammar school in 1948 aged 15 substantially undereducated. I wanted to go to art school but because of family 'poverty' joined a commercial art studio in the West End. I was, thereafter, variously a messenger boy, commercial artist and typographer. I was in the Royal Air Force from 1951 to 1953 when the only useful thing I did was to take part in King George VI's funeral parade.
In 1955 I married Patricia O'Donnell, a RADA graduate, at that time playing opposite Derek Nimmo, they were juvenile leads in a touring repertory company. He went on to great success because he had a funny voice.
We came to New Zealand in 1960 where I worked in advertising. At length I became managing director of one of the companies of whose holding company (the largest domestic advertising complex in New Zealand) I was also a proprietor and shareholder. I left the industry in 1990 when my company was bought out by American interests. My timing was brilliant, at that point my first book had been published and the next was on its way.
We have two daughters and four grand-children.
Now, apart from writing, I function as a self-educated grumpy old man.

Story highlights
- President Obama says Iran has little wiggle room in nuclear talks
- Obama will visit France in June for 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion
- "We trust each other in an unprecedented manner," French President Hollande says
- Obama hosts Hollande at a state dinner on Tuesday night
It's trust in English, confiance in French, and a word used a lot Tuesday by President Barack Obama and visiting French President Francois Hollande to describe what has changed once thorny relations between the NATO allies.
At a news conference on the second day of Holland's state visit, the two leaders talked up continuing a new cooperation between their governments that butted heads a decade ago over the Iraq War.
Obama will host Hollande at a state dinner on Tuesday night -- the first of his second term -- in another sign of what both depicted as a diplomatic bromance in the face of international challenges that include the Syrian civil war, Iran's nuclear ambitions and economic malaise in Europe.
"We're standing shoulder to shoulder on key challenges," Obama said at one point, while Hollande declared that "we trust each other in an unprecedented manner."
Obama to France in June
To underscore the improving relations, Obama said he would travel to France in June at Hollande's invitation to mark the 70th anniversary of the Normandy invasion during World War II.
For his part, Hollande said that "mutual trust has been restored" between his government and the Obama administration in the aftermath of classified leaks by Edward Snowden that disclosed widespread U.S. surveillance operations in foreign countries.
A socialist elected in 2012, Hollande arrived alone for the trip after revelations in France of an affair with an actress and the subsequent end of his longtime relationship with Valerie Trierweiler, who was considered the equivalent of the French first lady even though they weren't married.
During Tuesday's news conference that stretched to an hour, no one asked about Hollande's personal life.
Even for issues on which they may not see completely eye-to-eye, Obama and Hollande emphasized a cooperative spirit in seeking an end to the Syrian war and a deal with Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons.
Asked about the nuclear talks with Iran involving their countries along with Russia, Britain, China and Germany, the two leaders avoided directly answering if France had concerns that the United States might push for a less-than-ideal final agreement in order to declare success.
It's up to the Iranians to guarantee their intentions are for peaceful use of nuclear power, Obama said, adding that "if they meet what technically gives us those assurances, then there is a deal to be made. If they don't, there isn't."
Iranian problem
For his part, Hollande said a six-month agreement reached with Iran to freeze its enrichment in return for easing some sanctions while talks continue "doesn't mean that there is no longer an Iranian problem."
"There is an Iranian problem, for we need to make sure that Iran renounce the nuclear weapon in a definite and comprehensive manner," he said.
Obama has stressed the United States would enforce remaining U.S. and U.N. sanctions on Iran, pending a permanent accord on the nuclear issues.
When a reporter asked about a French business delegation visiting Iran, Obama warned any companies violating sanctions would "do so at their own peril now, because we will come down on them like a ton of bricks."
He added that the United States expects allies such France to fully observe existing sanctions against Iran.
Hollande, meanwhile, said it was critical that Iran renounces nuclear weapons in a "comprehensive manner" in talks going forward, but noted that he lacked authority to tell French businesses who they can talk with as long as no sanctions violations occur.
The next round of Iran talks begin on February 18 in Vienna. Iranian and International Atomic Energy Agency officials jointly said Sunday that Iran has agreed to take additional steps by May to ease international concern over Tehran's nuclear program.
Syrian conflict
On another Middle East issue dominating global concern, Obama said there was "a horrendous situation on the ground in Syria" and he called the ongoing civil war and humanitarian crisis "one of our highest national security priorities" because of extremists gaining greater influence in the "crumbling" nation.
Obama also said his administration was putting pressure on Russia -- a major ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad -- to help the international community gain access to provide humanitarian aid.
The message to Moscow was that expressions of concern about the welfare of Syrians were not enough "if there are starving people," Obama said.
Hollande noted the threats of military action by their countries that he credited with forcing the Syrians to negotiate the handover of its known chemical weapons stockpiles.
However, he said Syria's compliance with an agreement worked out by Russia had brought "only partial destruction" of Syrian chemical weapons so far that he said "doesn't go nearly far enough."

Cobb Comes Back to Pitch Rays Past M's
Alex Cobb pitched five strong innings in his first big league game since being hit in the head by a batted ball two months ago and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Seattle Mariners 7-1 on Thursday night.
Cobb (7-2) ended his night by striking out Nick Frankiln on a full-count pitch with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth. He received a standing ovation as he walked off the field. The right-hander gave up one run and three hits, striking out six and walking two,
Wil Myers, who had four RBIs, drove in two with a double and Evan Longoria added a two-run homer off Joe Saunders (10-12) that put the Rays up 5-1 in the fifth.
Cobb, activated from the 60-day disabled list before the game, sustained a concussion after being struck on the right ear by a liner hit by Kansas City's Eric Hosmer on June 15.
He was taken off the field on a stretcher and was hospitalized overnight.

I made a half-dozen of those little churn dashes after seeing the magazine too...they are so much fun to piece. Of course I have no idea what I will do with them now!ReplyDelete
Maybe you could add some leaves or circles to the outside of your applique to fill space? I agree it looks a bit small on the background...
Very cute, do you have the Kim Diehl book with the little quilt with churn dashers? I have wanted to make that one for a very long time!ReplyDelete
Oh I just love the Churn Dashes...you can never go wrong with a churn dash quilt!ReplyDelete

Euthanasia Coaster from Julijonas Urbonas on Vimeo.
A Lithuanian architect and former theme park worker, has designed a chilling roller coaster concept to thrill passengers – and kill them.
Dubbed the 'Euthanasia Coaster', the morbid design by Julijonas Urbonas, "humanely, with elegance and euphoria, takes the life of a human being" by travelling at 100m/s and lifting the passenger up to a height of more than 1,600ft.
During the three-minute ride, passengers are spun and flung into hoops at 223m/h.
The ride would cause the brain to die from cerebral hypoxia, or lack of oxygen, after experiencing the deadly spins and turns of the track.
"Thanks to the marriage of the advanced cross-disciplinary research in space medicine, mechanical engineering, material technologies and, of course, gravity, the fatal journey is made pleasing, elegant and meaningful," explains Urbonas in the video interview.
"Celebrating the limits of the human body but also the liberation from the horizontal life, this 'kinetic sculpture' is in fact the ultimate roller coaster," adds Urbonas.
'The ultimate roller coaster is built when you send out twenty-four people and they all come back dead."
Talking about his creation is much more than just 'death', Urbonas explains: "There is no special ritual, nor is death given special meaning except that of the legal procedures and psychological preparation. It is like death is divorced from our cultural life.
"But if it is already legal, why not to make it more meaningful?"
Dr Peter Saunders from Care Not Killing told the Daily Mail: 'Whilst appreciating the artist's sense of humour and light-heartedness, we also need to remember that the life a human being cannot ever be taken 'humanely with elegance and euphoria' and with this method the last sensation would more probably be one of overwhelming vertigo and fright.
"Euthanasia rightly remains illegal because any law allowing it could so easily be abused.
"Vulnerable people - the sick, elderly, disabled or depressed - would feel under pressure, whether real or imagined, to request early death.
"Let's hope that this imaginative method never becomes legal."
Leading pro-Euthanasia charity, Dignity In Dying, declined to comment.

Cute Cats Make Boring Tweets So Much Better
We all know the internet is made of cats, and it's about time the internet cats noticed Twitter.
They have stumbled upon it and they have been reading all of your boring tweets about everything from the show your band is playing to what you had for lunch today. And now, they will recite for you a summary of the most common tweets on Twitter.
Maybe you recognize someone you follow and wish you didn't. Maybe you recognize yourself. Either way, talking cats are cute, so now lame tweets are worth hearing.

News and notes prior to tonight's game against Colorado:
* Back-up catcher Ronnie Paulino has completed the last eight games of his 50-game suspension for using PEDs and has been placed on the 15-day disabled list as he recovers from anemia. Frankly, I think the Mets caught a break on this one. I don't understand getting credit for games on the suspension he wouldn't have been able to play in regardless.
* Jose Reyes is off to a good start and is riding a streak of starting the last seven games with either a hit or walk. Reyes has five multi-hit games in the Mets' first nine games.
* The Mets are hoping outfielder Jason Bay will be activated from the disabled list by the end of the week when the team is in Atlanta.
* The Mets are carrying 13 pitchers and will probably do so until Bay is ready to be activated.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – After nearly a month at the helm of the Columbus Crew, interim head Coach Brian Bliss is getting through to his players.
The club has won four of its last five matches, including the first three-match win streak of the season, and the team – especially its offense – has rapidly gelled over the course of that stretch. After Sunday's 4-2 win at FC Dallas, players mentioned that they were on the same page with Bliss, and clearly seemed pleased with his leadership.
Bliss was quick to deny sole responsibility for the turnaround, and credited the players' confidence that has developed late in the season.
"The guys have cobbled together a nice stretch here," Bliss told MLSsoccer.com on Tuesday. "They feel good about themselves. It's just kind of the way I do business or the way I coach maybe ... I don't think I'm doing anything special, it's just the way I do it. I don't care if I'm coaching the [US] U-20s or our own U-20 team. It's just how I do it."
Bliss put emphasis on a quick, rapidly-changing practice regimen that may have taken players a few weeks to buy into. But a month later, he says, the biggest difference he's seen from the team is in their ability to work hard in training.
"The rhythm of how we train, where there's shorter activity but higher intensity [has been better]. We don't have to continue to remind the guys that you have to be tuned in for the entire practice," he said. "You have to play at game speed in training for it to happen on Saturdays. We're having to remind the guys less and less over time, so it's becoming more natural for them to train at this intensity level."
Bliss said that the goals in Sunday's win highlighted his on-field philosophies of upping the team's speed of play and "getting to the goal quicker" with the ball.
"Two if not three of those goals were textbook in terms of what we've been thinking about and how we've been training," he said. "It's a little bit of high-risk, high-reward kind of play."
- Get more Columbus Crew news at TheCrew.com
Despite the risk involved in Bliss's style of play, he says that he would have been using the same strategy even if the team weren't in a do-or-die position as they try to make the playoffs.
"It's predicated on defending wherever the ball is. That wouldn't change whether it was game 10 or 28," he said. "Maybe from first minute to last minute, the tempo we're playing at would be difficult to continue over a 34-game stretch. In terms of what we expect from the guys in their certain positions, nothing would change."

Your ass is better off just rolling a dice and
Finding you a number for luck
Cause you all need it when you see I don't give a fuck
My identity, and the shit is getting shown
Without a video I'm still getting on
I'm at a show then my picture is taken
One click of the flash and punk niggas are breakin'
To the door, tryin' to join my fan club
Lip-syncin' over one of my dubs
The instrumental will scratch for the moment
Until I fuck up the so called opponent
That's standing in the zone of the twilight
Saying how in the fuck did he get mixed up in my fight
It wasn't a mistake, it was a set-up
So until I'm finished poppin' my lyrics you should shut up
And don't attempt to speak
Because it's bad enough you rollin' up shit creek
With a nigga like Ren about the hit
Now let me hear you mothafuckas talk some more shit
I'm a bust your ass in your mouth
Yo, unless you're saying, "Compton's in the house"
[Verse 8: Dr. Dre + Eazy-E]
Who realy cares - about a sucker on a take off
Bust a move, we can have a shake and bake-off
Me and you can go cause I don't care yo
Rap fight or guerilla warfare
We can rumble, cause when my lungs go in and out
I kick rhymes in a bundle to win a bout
Or scurry or scuffle
I just muffle the opposition, there's no competition
Let them know that Dre is getting stronger
Compton's in the house but now it's some' longer
I won't get set-up, shut up, I'm kinda fed up
You can say uncle and I still won't let up
Cause Dre is the mothafucking doctor
And if me and Ren's on the mic, it's like propaganda no doubt
Boy you should've known by now
[Outro: Dr. Dre]
Yeah, it's time to put Compton on the map
Don't ever think you can get it on, you stupid mothafuckas!
A sleeper track off of N.W.A.'s Straight Outta Compton. This is the second track that exclusively features Dr. Dre and MC Ren, "Something Like That" being the first.
I guess they just had great chemistry.
MC Ren broke down the song for HipHopConnection in December of 1989:
We're basically saying that Compton's got something to say. Once me and my buddy nearly got into a fight with another crew because they were putting down Compton, now this record has dissed these people because it became this big.

About three or so years ago, in what was a reflection not only of the dwindling music industry but the downward spiral of the print magazine world, I received what I thought was the final issue of Magnet magazine.
What is Magnet? Magnet was the quarterly bible of the indie music world, a slacker's guidepost to everything cool, a critical lighthouse in a sea of audio mediocrity. Every issue was a snapshot of what was hot and happening right now in indie music. Each issue launched with an in-depth cover story that led into smaller profiles on bands and musicians just getting noticed, updates on those that have been around awhile, and, of course, pages and pages of reviews of records that you hadn't heard before, all capped off with an essay by acerbic scribe Phil Sheridan, who wrote from a vantage point every one of us could recognize.
Magnet launched in 1993, and I have no idea how I found my first issue, which I still have, stuffed in a box somewhere in my attic (I probably bought it at Homer's). It joined an already crowded magazine rack that included hip, cool, but physically unreadable (because of its design) Raygun, the slick and concise Option, and the other bible of indie, Alternative Press. Of those three, only A.P. is still around. Magnet was the best of the bunch, the most in-the-know and the most critically important and accurate.
For a band to be featured in Magnet was a big deal, especially if it was an Omaha band. And to be reviewed in Magnet was sort of an honor. Remember, this was before the prominence of the internet (Yes, kiddos, there was a time before Pitchfork, when people actually read these things called magazines).
We all knew, for example, that Saddle Creek Records was onto something when Magnet began to take notice.
"Magnet was one of the first magazines to do a Bright Eyes feature," said Saddle Creek Records executive Robb Nansel. "I remember I was working my 'real' job when Magnet called me at work to set up the photo shoot for that article (right around the release of Letting Off the Happiness (in 1998)). There was a lot going on for the label at that time, and it wasn't long after that phone call that I put in my resignation."
Reviews and features about other Saddle Creek artists soon followed in Magnet, and shortly after that, the rest of the world began to take notice of what was going on in Omaha. Those reviews weren't always terribly positive. In fact, Magnet didn't offer a rating system, just narrative and descriptions, which oftentimes left you wondering if the writer liked the album or not. But that was part of the appeal (to me, anyway) -- Magnet left it up to you do decipher.
Anyway, about three years ago, new issues of Magnet quit arriving at my door. No real explanation was given but I knew the magazine hadn't folded. In fact, their website -- magnetmagazine.com -- continued to be updated. After a year went by, however, I figured I'd seen the last of the printed version.
And then out of the blue last Friday there it was, peeking out of my mailbox, a fresh new issue of Magnet featuring those shaggy boys from Wilco on the cover -- same design, same slick perfect-bound publication, as if it had never gone away.
Magnet Editor-in-Chief Eric T. Miller explained it all on page 4. It turned out that the declining music and publishing industry had finally caught up with them. The publication planned a short hiatus to redesign the Magnet website. That hiatus became extended when injuries sustained by the publication's art director -- Miller's wife -- put a wrench in overall operations. Things looked bleak as to the magazine's return, and then out of the blue, Miller ran into Alex Mulcahy, an old friend whose company, Red Flag Media, publishes metal magazine Decibel. And the next thing you know, Magnet was back, but this time as a monthly instead of a quarterly.
There are a few other changes. The publication seems thinner and some sections are missing along with some writers, but the profiles are there (including stories on Neon Indian, Tommy Keene, Spank Rock, Beauty Pill, Mac McCaughan, Das Racist amd Thundercat), a Q&A with Blondie's Debbie Harry, and a lengthy cover story with Wilco. And of course, those reviews. Though now each review also includes a 10-star rating, which takes away a lot of the mystery. But I guess in this era when bands live and die by a Pitchfork 10-point rating system, adjustments had to be made, even though ratings dissuade people from reading the actual reviews.
My favorite part is the return of Phil Sheridan's "Back Page" column, which starts off: "We know what you're thinking, and it's wrong, as usual: Now that 1995 is back, here comes Magnet to cover the bands it already covered to death. Literally."
So true, Phil, so true. All's I know is that Magnet is back, and hopefully this time it's for good. Because in an age when we're all tethered to electronic gizmos that put every conceivable piece of information at our fingertips -- including the music that we listen to -- it's nice to be able to turn off the screen, unplug the electronic world, pull back the cover of something tangible that we can hold in our hands -- whether it's a book, or a copy of The Reader, or an issue of Magnet -- and just read.
As Robb Nansel put it, "Magnet exposed us to tons of great music when we were growing up, and I am definitely happy to see them carrying on."
As am I.

Here's some inspiration from our Design Team!
Debby, these colors are gorgeous and that image is so sweet : ) I like the Swiss Dots embossed as well - always a great choice. The flowers are made using Graphic 45 paper - Baby 2 Bride - and she used the Large Flower Punch by Nellie Snellen. She made the gorgeous corner flourish using Cuttlebug's Vintage die (need a machine?).
Christine used gorgeous Poinsettia Art Flowers by Hero Arts to accent her card. Aren't these colors nice together?? To stamp that Magnolia image (Tilda with Bell), she used Memento Tuxedo Black (this makes for a GREAT gift!!) and the colored with Copic Markers (the black ink won't smear if you use Tuxedo Black).
Heather, this is a beautiful scene! I love how you colored Tilda & Edwin Skating! The Double Loops punch loops nice as well (it's by Martha Stewart). She also used pins, Diamond Dust, Snowflake Wonder,
Lols used Polar White by Flower Soft, Star Dust Stickles, and Art Institute Glitter for the snow & glittery parts. She used Echo Park card stock from the Merry Christmas Pack. I'm loving the Lattice Arch punch. Like the ticket - it's from Odds and Ends.
Jane used the Tilda with Hanging Heart stamp by Magnolia. Did you know that Melissa Frances makes glitter Chipboard Christmas Shapes? She used Perfect Pearl Mist by Ranger and Stickles for pretty shimmer effects.
Chris used a Magnolia stamp called Brother & Sister. The brads are similar to the HOTP Chocolate ones, but could also be Pewter Metallic Embellishments by Hero Arts. Tilda & Edwin are colored with Copics and that pretty orange paper in the back might be from the Restoration pack by Crate Paper or Curio pack by Basic Grey.
Mandy - the coloring here is exquisite! I also love the paper you used - 6 x 6 Webster's Pages. The Diamond Stickles glitter is nice, as is the ribbon. The swirls are by Magnolia, the image is by Whiff of Joy, and the inks are by Tim Holtz.
Jo used pretty White Lace, floral paper in muted colors like Cappella by Basic Grey or Cosmo Cricket Papers, an Inkadinkado stamp called Ornate Snowman. Want a scalloped square around your image? Try Open Scallop Border by My Favorite Things or Lacey Squares and some Core'dinations Paper like Nostalgia.
Domi, this is such a cute card! I love the Kioshi papers by Basic Grey and Sleeping Baby Tilda. Copic markers are a great option for easy blending too. Want to make some leaves and foliage like what you see here? Grab some sticky back canvas, draw some leaves/vines or use a stencil like Mini Mask Florets, color with green ink like Soft Leaf, Seed Packet, or Stick Candy and cut out with Craft Scissors. Try a Stitch Sew Quick machine for the stitching.
We can't wait for you to show us what you've made! Please post a link at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge for a chance to win $$ to our store! Also, if you're into Vintage, play along in our Vintage Challenge!
Happy Holidays!

Get those cameras ready, polish those smiles and say cheese (or tuna or kibble). Friends of the Shelter is accepting photo entries for the 2013 Shelter Alumni Calendar through Sept. 8. They need your help because without the communityís photos and stories, there can be no FOS calendar.
Pet owners who have adopted an animal from any shelter or any abandoned or homeless animal are invited to send a photo and a brief story about their pet. Being a Los Alamos resident is not a requirement nor does the animal have to be a Los Alamos rescue. Owners whose pets were featured in last year's calendar are welcome to submit new photos of their pets for this year's calendar.
Entry forms are available at Ridgeview Veterinary Hospital, Animal Clinic of Los Alamos, Pet Pangaea and the Los Alamos County Animal Shelter. Entries are also available on line at lafos.org/ and the process can be done completely electronically.
The entry form includes entry information as well as tips on getting great photos of your pet.
Friends of the Shelter, a humane organization based in Los Alamos is trying to improve the quality of life for unwanted pets and find homes for homeless animals. They work closely with the Los Alamos County Animal Shelter, local veterinarians and with other humane societies. The program has four major components:
• A shelter program where volunteers visit the shelter every day of the week to exercise, groom and socialize the animals to make them more adoptable;
• An active adoption program where we place animals in good homes;
• A program where they pay for medical expenses or spay/neuter operations for homeless animals; and
• An education program to promote responsible pet ownership, including the benefits and importance of spaying/neutering pets.
Friends of the Shelter sponsors two programs to help pet owners and reduce the number of unwanted pets. The Catastrophic Illness/Injury program provides funds for veterinary treatment of severely ill or injured pets whose owners cannot afford extensive treatment. The second program provides vouchers for free spay/neutering of pets, in order to encourage pet owners to make sure that their pets are surgically altered and cannot produce litters of unwanted cats or dogs.
The calendars will go on sale in November at local businesses and all proceeds will go directly to help the animals through Friends of the Shelter programs.

Several players upgraded, while one player is added after Saturday's match against LA.
The New England Revolution's athletic training staff issued the early-week injury report after training on Tuesday. Three players were upgraded, while one new player has been added to the list after Saturday night's game.
NE Injury Report – July 13, 2010
QUESTIONABLE: Nico Colaluca (R ankle sprain), Cory Gibbs (L quadriceps strain), Steve Ralston (L elbow dislocation), Khano Smith (R ankle sprain)
OUT: Zak Boggs (concussion), Preston Burpo (R lower leg fracture), Jason Griffiths (L hamstring strain), Edgaras Jankauskas (L adductor strain), Taylor Twellman (concussion)
Nico Colaluca, Steve Ralston and Khano Smith have all been upgraded to QUESTIONABLE. Colaluca moved up from OUT on Friday's report after picking up an ankle sprain in training early last week, while Ralston (DOUBTFUL) and Smith (OUT) have also both moved up from Friday's list.
Ralston has participated fully in training since midweek last week, and will await the outcome of a doctor's appointment before Wednesday's match. Head coach Steve Nicol ruled him out of Wednesday's match after training on Tuesday, but is hopefully the doctors will clear Ralston to get minutes on Saturday in Chicago.
After being held to the sidelines for the last few weeks, Smith returned to training on Monday, participating fully in the abbreviated session and then doing side work on his own. He also played as the neutral in a small-sided game today.
The list of OUT players remains relatively static from last Friday's list, with Boggs and Jankauskas still trying to overcome their respective ailments. The new addition is Jason Griffiths, who left Saturday's game against LA in the 28th minute with a hamstring strain.

U.S. stocks fell with Treasuries, while the dollar (NYBOT:DX) advanced after data showed U.S. inflation quickened as the Federal Reserve begins a policy meeting. Crude dropped on signs Iraq violence may not disrupt supplies.
The S&P 500 slipped 0.1 percent at 9:30 a.m. in New York following two days of gains. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index was little changed after erasing earlier gains. The rate on two-year Treasury notes touched 0.49 percent, the highest since September. West Texas Intermediate crude (NYMEX:CLN14) fell 0.3 percent and gold (COMEX:GCN14) dropped 0.7 percent. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against 10 major counterparts, added 0.3 percent.
Fed policy makers start a two-day meeting today as a report showing an increase in consumer prices signaled inflation will move closer to the bank's 2 percent goal. Separate data showed housing starts declined in May. The Fed will probably raise rates faster than money-market investors expect, based on a Bloomberg News survey of economists. Iraq's military said it repelled an attack by an al-Qaeda breakaway group. The nation's crude output hasn't been hurt by the violence, the International Energy Agency said today.
"Investors are in this holding period," Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Philadelphia-based Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, which oversees $65 billion in assets, said by phone. "We're not seeing anything overwhelmingly bad, but we're also not seeing any overwhelmingly good news. You've got two readings that were a little unsettling today and that fits with the lack of balance we've been seeing in the data."
Bond yields
Treasury 10-year note yields jumped three basis points to 2.63 percent, while the rate on similar-maturity German bunds increased three basis points to 1.38 percent. Portugal's 10-year yield climbed four basis points to 3.46 percent.
The Stoxx 600 closed at its lowest level since June 5 yesterday. Automakers Renault SA and Daimler AG climbed 0.6 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively, today after data showed European car sales increased.
Whitbread Plc gained 2.2 percent after sales at its Premier Inn hotels and Costa Coffee chain topped analysts' estimates. Shire Plc rose 2.4 percent after a Reuters report said the pharmaceutical company hired Citigroup Inc. as it may receive takeover offers.
Gold for immediate delivery retreated to $1,261.77 an ounce. Silver (COMEX:SIN14) dropped 0.6 percent to $19.5546 an ounce.
Fed policy
The Fed will reduce the pace of monthly asset purchases by $10 billion to $35 billion, economists project. Some 62 percent of 58 economists in a Bloomberg survey predict the Fed will halt bond buying at its October meeting.
A report in Washington showed the number of new homes started in the U.S. dropped to a 1.001 million annualized rate in May from a 1.071 million pace in April. The consumer price index increased 0.4 percent in May after rising 0.3 percent the previous month, separate data showed.
A pickup in inflation lessens the threat of a prolonged drop in prices that hurts economic growth, giving Fed officials reason to continue to scale back their unprecedented bond-buying program. Continued hiring and faster wage gains will be needed to boost demand and enable consumers to cope with higher prices.
WTI for July delivery slid to as low as $106.01 a barrel in New York. Prices capped a 4.1 percent increase last week, the most since December, when escalating violence in Iraq fanned concern that supplies from OPEC's second-largest producer may be disrupted.

The sweetest festival to hit the city of Glendale wrapped up on Sunday. The Glendale Chocolate Affaire was the chocolate lover's delight as more than three-dozen vendors and chocolatiers came to downtown Glendale to make every kind of concoction possible with chocolate.
These chocolatiers worked up many different items using chocolate. Some included standards like chocolate-dipped strawberries, while others like chocolate-covered sweet potato fries were much more unusual.
According to Public Information Officer Kim Larson, there were about three-dozen chocolatiers, some of which were from out of state.
Larson said the festival was a great family event, and one of the most popular booths at the festival was the make-your-own chocolate pizza booth.
"One of the popular things that we have, that people come every year for, is the Cerreta's pizza-making booth," Larson said. "They give you all these yummy ingredients and you make your own creation."
Some other features at the event included horse-drawn carriage rides through the historic Catlin Court district of Glendale, arts and crafts, face-paintings and various rides for kids.
"There's a shuttle from the event site over to the chocolate factory," Larson said in reference to the Cerreta candy factory
The event also hosted the Southwest's largest gathering of romance novelists, who put on free writing workshops, just in time for Valentine's Day attendees to be able to indulge in a chocolate heaven, horse-drawn carriage rides and writing workshops by romantic experts.

Renaissance Festiva Begins
Varied Programs
To Be Presented
The Festival of Renaissance Arts
beginning this Friday evening is
a newcomer this year to Bethel's
calendar of student - sponsored
events. A series of four programs,
continuing through Tuesday night,
will include a lecture, a film, a reci-tal,
and a program in which stu-dents
The Festival has been designed
to give students an interest in the
art, drama, and music of this
creative period during
which Shakespeare
wrote. Students from colleges and
universities from the Twin Cities
area have been invited to attend
the events of this week, which will
mark the high point in the year at
Bethel culturally.
Renaissance art will be the sub-ject
of a lecture by Dr. Lorenz
Eitner, University professor of art
history, at the opening session Fri-day
evening. The program will be
held in the Bodien residence lounge,
beginning at 8:30. A reception will
follow the lecture, lunch being
served in the lounge.
Maurice Evans' film production
of Shakespeare's "Richard II" will
be shown in the chapel Saturday
evening, beginning at 8:30. Tele-vision
viewers may recall seeing
this production on the
Hallmark Playhouse a few seasons
(continued on page 4)

Win 8 Debates
Marge Peterson and Betty Matt-son
posted the most impressive
record of any Bethel debate team
this year as they won eight straight
debates in the women's division of
the northwest debate tournament
last Thursday, Friday, and Satur-day
at Macalester college. They
were the only team to go undefeat-ed
through the preliminary rounds.
However, they were defeated in
the seminfinals by a University of
Nebraska team that eventually
won the tournament.
In the men's division, Donn Goss
and Chuck Paton captured half of
their debates while Fred Schindler
and Bruce Richardson failed to
score a victory.
Concidered the most important
meet of the season, this northwest
tourney is a kind of tune-up event
for the national debate tourna-ments,
including the Phi Kappa
Delta national meet.
There were four rounds of de-bate
on Thursday and four on Fri-day,
with the finals on Saturday
David Adeney, foreign mis-sions
secretary for the Inter-
Varsity Christian Fellowship,
will speak in the seminary
chapel on Thursday, March 15,
at 7 p.m.
A number of new scholarships,
assistantships, and grant-in-aid for
students showing scholastic ability
have recently been added to those
already offered by the college.
These scholarships will be awarded
at the fall convocation next year at
the opening of the school year.
A scholarship granting full tui-tion
for the next year will be
awarded to juniors and seniors
(continued on page 4)
College Choir
On Tour East
At the furthest point east on
their annual tour, the college choir
is singing tonight at the Elim
church of Detroit, Michigan. The
42-member group left Wednesday,
February 29 (right after finals),
giving its opening concert at La
Crosse, Wisconsin that evening.
Seven concerts remain on the
agenda of the tour, to be sung in
churches in Michigan, Illinois, and
Creator of "Peanuts"
To Speak, Draw Here
Bethel will be host to a number of famous kids a week from this
Friday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m. "Peanuts" and his gang—Charlie Brown,
Lucy, Schroeder (with his piano), and Snoopy the dog will be appearing
in the college chapel, along with Charles M. Schulz, their creator, in a
special CLARION-sponsored meeting.
Mr. Schulz, an active Christian layman, will relate how "Peanuts"
has come into its present place of drawing-board prestige and popularity
from an obscure beginning, and of how the message of Christianity
relates itself to cartooning.
A life-long resident of the Twin
Cities, Mr. Schulz has been "draw-ing
all his life." He received his
training through a correspondence
course from Art Instruction, Inc.,
of Minneapolis, where he has been
serving as an instructor in car-tooning
and illustrating since the
He started his professional car-tooning
by drawing a weekly panel
for the Sunday Pioneer Press en-titled
"Little Folk," which ran for
two years. During this time, he
also sold "gag" cartoons to the
Saturday Evening Post. "Peanuts"
was started in 1950 and has been
handled since that time by the
United Feature Syndicate. It is
currently appearing in some 175
newspapers in the United States
(continued on page 2)
Noted Lutist
Has Recital
Suzanne Bloch will make her
first appearance in the Twin Cities
at a recital here next Monday
evening. This, the highlight of
Bethel's Festival of Renaissance
Arts, will be held in the, chapel,
beginning at 8:30.
For many years Miss Bloch, who
has trained lutenists in the East,
has been the principal concert per-former
in America at this instru-ment.
She has adapted a charming
voice as an ensemble instrument to
use to her own lute accompaniment
for performance of the literature
of lute songs which once marked
so high a point in musical culture.
She is also a competent performer
on the virginals, an early keyboard
instrument, and on the recorder.
Daughter of composer Ernest
Bloch, Suzanne is the only
concert artist accompanying her-self
on the authentic 19-stringed
instrument in the rendition of
Medieval, Renaissance, and Eliza-bethan
Student Days
March 26-28
Many high school students from
all parts of the country will re-ceive
their first tastes of college
life when they arrive here on cam-pus
for "Prospective Student's
Days," March 26, 27, and 28.
Letters of application have been
sent out to more than 600 junior
and senior high school students,
whose names were received from
students, pastors, and other friends.
Approximately 200 students are
expected to visit Bethel for this
When Bethel plays host to these
many visiting students, it will be
keeping a six-year tradition on the
campus. This plan originated with
students of the college in 1948,
and ever since then all the plans
have been carried out under the
management of students.
Glenn Ogren, as president of the
Student Senate, is the "over-all"
supervisor this year, working with
a number of committees who are
making plans for the various acti-vities
of the special event.
Oratorio Choir
An oratorio choir in which any
student who wishes to may sing,
will present. Brahm's "Requiem"
on May 13 in the fieldhouse. The
first rehearsal will be Monday,
March 19, from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in

Religion on Campus
(Guest editoriau from the So. Illinois Univ. Egyptian)
(ACP)—The question of religion on campus has always been a
touchy and controversial one. In answer to claims that students may
lose their religion when they attend college, Southern Illinois Univer-sity's
Egyptian recently published this editorial:
Some students are often warned by their parents and well-meaning
friends that they should be careful that they do not lose their religion
on a state university campus. These people speak of losing religion as
though it were a textbook or a pencil that might be dropped on the
It is impossible for a student to lose his religion on the campus of
Southern Illinois University. If, because of the new atmosphere, a
student feels that something has been lost it is well to consider what
it was that was lost. Perhaps it was not religion at all, but some childish
superstition that should have been dropped long ago. Our religious edu-cation
seldom keeps up with our secular education and we seem to
reach physical, intellectual and social maturity long before we reach
religious maturity. University students are often criticized by their
parents and by religious leaders for losing the faith of their fathers. It
should be pointed out to these people that religion and faith can not be
inherited and a second hand religion is worse than none. The student
who loses his father or mother's religion is usually in the process of
finding his own.
Religion can be found on this campus as easily as it can be found
on the campus of a church-related school. Religion is the expression
of an attitude toward what the individual regards as important in
life. Here on this campus a student will find many different expressions
of religion. There are no denomination restrictions here and a student
can believe by the evidence before him rather than by the creedal dicta-torship
of some ecclesiastical body. Religion is as indigenous to the
intellectual life of the campus as is democracy or the belief in scientific
procedure. Religious facts, issues and implications are dealt with in
every class where they arise naturally. Of course, there are some stu-dents
and professors who avoid discussion of religion like prissy old
maids avoid mention of sex; but most of the students and the faculty
feel free to discuss religion. The constitutional separation between
Church and State has been misunderstood as a separation between
religion and education. This is one of the social tragedies of our time.
Education and religion are inseparable; both can be found on this cam-pus
if a person will remember the words of St. Paul: "When I was a
child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child;
but when I became a man I put away childish things."

Bethel's Battling Blowers
Bethel's battling blowers, sometimes called the dauntless debaters,
although they didn't cop the Northwest championship this week-end, are
back with a lot of stories to tell about their escapades.
This isn't STRETCHING the story any to say that a typical debate
trip starts by SHRINKING the luggage to get it into STRETCH Rich-ardson's
SHRUNKEN Nash. After struggling to get the trunk door
closed, and getting settled in the car—which they say is even more
difficult, the battle is half won, and they're off! Soon after the trip is
begun a hungry voice might be heard from the back seat of either of
the two cars that usually go on these trips, "Hey, coach—when do we
eat ?" It's a difficult decision to judge who eats the most, but Jack
Tierney seems to have come out on top—at least at one breakfast, when
he had an order of wheat-cakes, eggs and bacon, toast, juice, and milk!
Chuck Paton and Betty Mattson—renamed Vesuvius Chuck and
Vesuvius Betty—seem to have a little trouble at their meals. It seems
as though any time a good joke is being told, they happen to be drinking
a glass of milk. And then the fun begins! Speaking of fun, the girls,
Marge Peterson, Betty Mattson, Lois Larson, and Marie Magnuson
decided to have a little fun one night at a meet down in Mankato. They
were having carameled apples, and thought that Coach Lee Kingsley
should have one too. To surprise him, they hung one on his hotel room
door. What a surprise it was in the morning—to the girls, when they
found out that they had hung it on the wrong door!
When the team finally gets down to the serious ( ? ) business of
debating, they seem to have their fun there too. Jim MacFadyen with
his one single piece of imposing evidence written on a pink slip of paper
(it seems these Scotchmen can't afford to have more evidence); Betty
Mattson using a negative point to prove an affirmative case; Donn Goss
making up authenticated evidence—these make up the escapades of
our debonair debaters.
Correction—In an article "Vital
Statistics" in the February 14 is-sue
of the CLARION, it was stated,
"utilities cost $1,000 a year and
fuel comes to a grand total of
$5,500 a year." This should be cor-rected
to read as follows: The cost
of utilities to the school is $1,000
per month, while the fuel runs up
a $5,500 bill monthly.
Dear Editor:
A missive to prospective convo-cation
In promulgating your esoteric
cogitations, or articulating your
superficial sentimentalities and
amicable, philosophical, or psych-ological
observations, beware of
platitudinous ponderosity.
Let your conversational commun-ications
possess a clarified concise-ness,
a compacted comprehensible-ness,
coalescent consistency, and
a concatenated cogency. Eschew all
conglomerations of flatulent gar-rulity,
jejune babblement, and as-inine
affectations. Let your extem-poraneous
descantings and unpre-meditated
expatiations have intel-ligibility
and veracious vivacity,
without rodomontade or thrasoni-cal
bombast. Sedulously avoid all
polysyllabic profundity, pompous
prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ven-triloquial
verbosity, and vanlioqu-ent
vapidity. Shun double enten-dres,
prurient jocosity, and pesti-ferous
profanity, obscure or ap-parent.

From Now On
Well, I took my finals last week. But this quarter it will be different.
You see, I have plans.
Since I am a person of decidedly weak will power—it's been implied
that I have none at all—certain steps must be taken to make sure I
First of all, I'm going to make sure that all the people who absently
wander in and out of my room do it quietly. All conversations will hence-forth
be on a high spiritual plans and low noise level. Nothing but squeak-less
crepe soles will be allowed. Typewriters will be completely and
irrevocably banished, and I will not tolerate the maddening scratching
of pencils and pens across horrible resistant paper, nor the schlustsch,
schlustsch of pages in books being turned and turned and turned and
turned! (It's driving me mad.)
The walls will be sound-proofed with calendars and old unused
textbooks and unpaid bills and worn-out roommates, and one-way glass
will be inserted in the windows. To keep everyone on the proper afore-mentioned
plane, perhaps the windows should be stained glass, with
appropriate pictures like cartoons from the Post, or some of VIP's
cleverer ones. These will keep persons who enter preoccupied and they
will then not be so prone to bother me in my intense studies.
My radio will have to go. I realize it is the source of great inspira-tion
and comfort, but one must be firm, mustn't one ? "Ma Perkins" will
have to wend her inimitable way through trials and tribulations by the
carload without me, and "Life Can Be Beautiful" will have to continue
alone proving that it can't be. "The Lone Ranger" will have to swim the
roaring torrent with only the accompaniment of William Tell. "Gun-smoke"
will have to do it alone. One must be firm.
I'm not sure what to do with my roommate. He seems to think,
ridiculously, that he has rights, too. It promises to be a touchy problem.
He even goes to the extreme of criticizing by preparations for study.
A thoroughly unschooled chap.
The Rook cards and the Scrabble I'll hide deep in my desk drawer.
They were the worst offenders. They bled me white. I'll never be the
same again.
And books. Horrors! Boccaccio and Browning and Doyle and Chekhov
and Roger Price and Hemingway must go. No more pleasure reading for
me. No more crossword puzzles, no more ping-pong or dates, no more
late night feasts. I've cancelled my subscription to the "Americia
Astrologer," "Astrologer's Weekly," "The Weekly Astrologer," and "My
Stars!" I've cornered the world No-Doze market and this quarter I will
study or else!
Or else I will not.
PEANUTS (from page 1)
and 10 foreign countries. It is seen
locally in the Minneapolis Evening
The inspiration for "Peanuts" is
Mr. Schulz' three children who, he
says, are "perfectly average." Both
Mr. and Mrs. Schulz agree that
the inspiration is never direct, but
is always based on some small, usu-ally
unnoticed, incidents.
Mr. Schulz is a member of the
First Church of God (Anderson,
Ind.) in Minneapolis and formerly
lived and claimed church member-ship
in the St. Paul area. " 'Pea-nuts',"
he says, "exerts a passive
rather than an active testimony."
He illustrates this by telling of a
character named "Pigpen" who ap-pears
occasionally in the strip.
In one daily installment, "Pig-pen"
was at his usual filthy self,
ragged, dirty clothes and dirty
face and hands. The first panel
shows Lucy laughing at "Pigpen,"
saying "HA HA! ! You're dirty!"
This is repeated by "Peanuts" in
the second panel and by Charlie
Brown in the third panel, with
"Pigpen" getting more and more
tearful. Finally, in the last panel,
"Pigpen" turns to leave and shouts
"But I got clean thoughts!!"
So — from "Pigpen," "Peanuts,"
and all the rest, reserve Friday
evening, March 16, at 7:30 for one
of the most interesting events of
the year. Tickets will be on sale
at the door and in the dining hall
for $.25 each and $.35 per couple.
The CLARION would like to
extend to Miss Effie Nelson
wishes for a speedy recovery.
Miss Nelson, Dean of Women,
underwent surgery February 27.
She is still at Midway hospital
but is successfully recovering.
Sophomore Testing
Program To Start
For the first ttime in its history,
Bethel college will be participating
in the National College Sophomore
Testing Program which is con-ducted
annually by the Coopera-tive
'rest Division of the Educa-ticnal
Testing Service. Included in
the test battery are tests in Eng-lish,
general culture, and contem-porary
affairs. The tests will in-volve
no requirement of study pre-paration
in advance.
The purpose of the program is to
offer objective tests in the var-ious
fields which will provide a
means for counseling and guiding
students as they plan their years
of specialization. The evidence of
strengths and weaknesses provided
by the tests will give much of the
information necessary for a stu-dent's
self-appraisal. From the
standpoint of the college the evalu-ation
will help the college to know
how well it is achieving its objec-tives
and maintaining its academic
The tests will be administered to
all sophomores who will be excused
from their classes. The testing
dates will be March 13th and 14th
and further announcements will be
made as to the specific testing

Royals Win Season's Final
Bemidji State Teachers college 77-
72. Under the direction of head-coach
Del Ray Peterson and as-sistant
coach Gerald Healy the boys
began operating as a unit. On Feb-ruary
7 they ran over Luther 78-52
and followed 4 days later with a
9-71 victory over Northern Michi-gan.
On February 13 they were
beaten by St. Cloud and then in
front of over 1,000 cheering fans
they soundly defeated Northwest-ern
college 78 to 66 in the annual
Founder's Week contest. Two days
later they downed Itasca 80-74.
They were then beaten by River
Falls and on February 25 played
their final game of the season
against Valley City. It was a tense
and exciting game from the start
which ended with Bethel on top
The Royals scored 1550 points to
1538 points by their opponents.
Leading Bethel cagers in a major
portion of the points were co-cap-tains
Rekstad and Conrad. Howie
Rekstad playing the pivot position,
threw in 376 points in 21 games
for a 17.9 average. Bill Conrad,
at the guard slot was close behind
most of his 354 points with his
deadly set shot and his jump shot
from around the foul line. His 20

field. The freshman guard not only
played great defensive ball
throughout the season but scored
221 points in 21 games for an
average of 10.5 points a game. Don
Knoner, breaking his wrist near the
end of the season, had to sit out
the last 4 games. His 17 game to-tals
were 146 points for an 8.6
average. In the fifth place for to-tal
points scored, was Paul Ohlin
who dropped 140 points in 18
games for a 7.8 average. Trailing
him by 7 points was Mark Nyberg
who totaled 133 points in 19 games
for an average of 7.4 points. Jim
Almeroth, rejoining the squad
about half way through the sea-son,
ranked number 7 in total
points scored with 128. However,
he ranked third in average points
per game ending up with a 10.7
average for 12 games.
Not to be overlooked are the
efforts by the reserves Cedar, Eck-ert,
Smith, Dahlquist, Albright,
and Johnson, who threw in over 60
points during the season.
With the coaching by Peterson
and Healy, the range and height of
Rekstad, Ohlin, Almeroth and Ny-berg
and the speed of Knoner, Bot-tenfield,
and Conrad the Bethel
cagers gave us a winning season in
1955-56. With the prospect of the

How did it go? What method worked for you? Have you relapsed? I have cut back and avoid "trigger" moments like morning coffee, (hard but I have done pretty good there) and the after eating a meal triggers, "last one" before sleep.So, now I am noticing a big difference in my sleep. I am restless and feel tierd from my constant thoughts of this problem. I wanted to quit by cutting back slowly, but I wonder if that is the best way.

I quit 19 years ago. Hypnotism wored for me.Orthodoc
In my opinion, I think cutting back slowly will not work. If you just stop, you will experience withdrawals, but the worst symptoms will go away shortly.

OAKLAND — Alameda County has sold for $9.56 million a vacant office tower it owned in the heart of downtown Berkeley, setting in motion even bigger real estate rumblings in Oakland.
County officials plan to use the proceeds to remodel another vacant office tower in downtown Oakland so that about 400 county workers can move in. That, in turn, will allow the county government — one of Oakland's top employers — to empty and unload four grim public buildings guarding a coveted gateway to Jack London Square.
"What we've been trying to do as a county is free up those blocks for other potential development," said Aki Nakao, director of the Alameda County General Services Agency.
A "serendipitous event" three years ago helped pave the way for the workplace shuffle, Nakao said. Seeking to foreclose a private realty firm's $47 million delinquent loan, Bank of America in late 2010 seized two office buildings: the seven-story tower at 2015 Shattuck Ave., in Berkeley; and the eight-story former federal building at 1111 Jackson St., in Oakland.
The realty firm had bought the properties, including a parking lot near the Oakland building, for $61.5 million in 2007. The value had dropped to $26 million three years later when the foreclosed buildings went on sale in a public auction on the steps of the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse. Alameda County was the winning bidder.
But it was the Oakland property more than the Berkeley one that interested county officials. Built by the state in the 1960s and refurbished after being damaged in the Loma Prieta earthquake, the gleaming white building at Jackson and 11th streets sits around the corner from Alameda County's administrative headquarters near Lake Merritt. It was most recently a federal hub, home to regional branches of the Social Security Administration and other agencies.
"The vision we have is to make the space within 1111 (Jackson) more contemporary, a more open office, and not so much the old-fashioned cubes," Nakao said.
Most of the Alameda County Probation Department and a segment of the county Social Services Agency plan to move there as early as next year, vacating two stark mid-20th century buildings the county owns at 400 and 401 Broadway, near Interstate 880 on the route to Jack London Square.
The county has had a presence on that Oakland block since the late 19th century, when it built a domed, ornate courthouse that was later demolished. More recently, the area has been eyed for condo development or a new convention center.
Also planning to move out from its historic home on 4th Street off Broadway will be the Coroner's Bureau. The coroner's office, and a nearby county public health laboratory on Fifth Street, are both moving to an office park on Peralta Oaks Court in the Oakland hills.
Less clear is the future of the recently sold Berkeley office tower, a 30-year-old building at the busy corner of Shattuck and University avenues.
Alameda County never occupied the building after buying the foreclosed property. It is vacant except for a ground-level restaurant and store.
The Peralta Community College District considered buying it to make more room for its Berkeley City College. Also interested was the ever-expanding UC Berkeley, which once leased some of the upper floors. Both schools backed out earlier this year.
"We just took a look at it and didn't think it would be cost-effective," said Peralta spokesman Jeff Heyman.
The Alameda County Board of Supervisors formally accepted a $9.56 million written bid from Ten Capital Real Estate LLC at the county's regular meeting Tuesday, completing the sale after no one else said they wanted it.
"Congratulations, you just bought yourself a big piece of property in the city of Berkeley, whoever you are," said Supervisor Scott Haggerty.
A San Francisco-based partner at the investment management firm, David Smith, said this week he was not ready to talk about any plans for the seven-story Berkeley building.
