Full Menu Planned
For Smorgasbord
Sylta, Swedish sausage, Swed-ish
limpa, meat balls, pickled her-ring,
turkey, spiced beets, roset-tes
— this is just a sample of
what appears on the menu for
the annual Christmas smorgasbord,
Friday, Dec. 7, in the dining hall
from 5 - 7 p.m.
Following the Swedish tradi-tion
the Lucia, elected by the
Bethel Women's Association will
reign at the smorgasbord.
Tickets for the dinner will be
available at the door. The adult
price is $1.75 and the children's
price is $1. There will be no charge
for the students with meal tickets.
Announcements concerning the
smorgasbord have been sent to
the various churches in the area.
of the Christmas portion of Han-del's
"Messiah" by the Oratorio
choir, Friday, Dec. 7, at 8 p.m. in
the college chapel.
The choir, numbering approxi-mately
50 students and area
church members, has been rehears-ing
since the first part of Octo-ber.
A 15-piece instrumental ensem-ble
consisting of violins, viola,
'cello, trumpets, horns, flute, clar-inet,
oboe, and tympani has been
selected to accompany the group.
Ten members of the ensemble are
from St. Paul Bible Institute, four
are from Bethel, and one is from
the St. Paul area.
Organist for the choir is Helen
Kennedy, instructor in music
theory, music history, and music
literature. Bonnie Holm, freshman,
will play the piano accompaniment.
In former years outside talent
has been selected for the solos;
however, Mr. Phillip Gustafson,
director of the choir, states that
"because of their ability and the
valuable experience they will gain,
student soloists were chosen rather
than outside talent."
Soloist Ron Eckert polishes his selections in a section rehearsal for
"The Messiah." Pictured, left to right, are Bonnie Holm, director Gustaf-son,

Rev. M. Wessman Speaks
At Jan. Deeper Life Week
Thanks For The Easy Life
The following, written by Herb Anderson, appeared in the Nov. 16
edition of the "Gustavian Weekly."
We give thee thanks, 0 America, land of plenty, for the many
blessings thou hast given us.
We thank thee for a 'high standard of living,' for a 'fast buck,'
by which we may buy the 'necessities of life'—Cadillacs, colored TV,
sirloin steaks, Fifth Avenue clothes, etc. . . .
We give thee thanks, 0 Technical Age, for all thou hast created
for us. We thank thee for the ease and comfort of push-button living, for
frozen foods and three-minute dinners which provide us with so much
leisure time to do nothing. We thank thee for the security of the H-bomb
today, and for the security of old-age pensions tomorrow. We
thank thee that we have no fear of any enemy for we have a massive
army and your technical superiority on our side.
We give thee thanks and praise, 0 Mind of Man, for solving the
problems of our age. We thank thee for Psychoanalysis—the panacea
of all our ills—by which we find who or what we are and where we
belong. We thank thee for Positive Thinking, by which we gain secret
to successful living and peace of mind.
We (give) Thee thanks, 0 Lord and Heavenly Father . . but

Freedom Has Problems
The obvious difficulty with the
stress Bethel places on individual
expression is that the student may
exert his influence poorly just as
easily as not. Because the indi-vidual
is not forced to study, he
may just "get by." Because there
are no pledges to sign, students
may, to a large extent, live im-moderately.
The process which
Bethel has decided is the best way
to develop mature people—and we
certainly agree—may also produce
20-year-old children.
This was obvious last week in at
least two instances. Dress-up night
received much criticism because it
is easier to go through the line,
gulp down the food, and leave. A
more pronounced example was the
behavior at the film shown by the
It was a warm, stagnant night
. . . no breeze, no moon. And very
late. Silently he moved along the
sidewalk past blackened dormi-tories.
The others were all asleep;
but he was restless, an annoying
pang in the pit of his stomach.
After a quick glance behind, he
approached the half-open doorway
of a darkened building. He paus-ed,
fumbling in his pocket. Then,
making no sound, he entered the
gloomy interior and was envel-oped
in shadows. A solitary click
. . . then silence.
Suddenly there were shouts
from inside: "Thief! Robber!" A
fist slammed out in the darkness,
connecting solidly, noisily with its
target. A grunt, muffled groans.
The pounding blows intensified.
Between thuds violent curses split
My good friend,
You've probably forgotten about
me already. I am the soldier who
was sleeping beside you on the
bus. It was just before Thanks-giving
last year. Remember ?
I imagine you thought I was
anti-social. Really, I'm not. But
I was so tired I couldn't stay
awake. You try to crowd a lot
into a seven day pass, and then
you're dead when you get back.
You know, when I first saw
you, I thought you were just read-ing
a book. But when I saw that
it was a Bible I thought you must
really be an odd ball. You don't
see many Bibles on a Greyhound
cultural council Thursday night.
There may be more disturbance
at a Saturday matinee for chil-dren,
but reactions of the Bethel
audience were very similar. The
giggling at the romantic parts,
the righteous indignation at the
drinking, dancing, and smoking
scenes were not mature reactions;
the applause for the announce-ments
and play cast showed that
we were just waiting for some-thing
to break the monotony since
we couldn't understand the signifi-cance
of the film.
Ironically, the point of the film
was that misused freedom and im-mature
reasoning kill the rights
that insure these liberties. Of
course, this will never happen to
the air. A foot stomped hard,
driven by powerful leg muscles;
and there was a short, pleading
cry. Then it was over.
For a moment he lingered in
the doorway, leaning on the frame
for support. Then he shuffled un-steadily
out into the street, his
raw, skinned knuckles visible in
the yellow illumination given off
by the street light. Head hung
low, shoulders slouched, he walked
dejectedly down the street and
into the night, seeming not to
know where to go, what to do.
Later in the week, maintenance
men arrived to adjust the faulty
mechanism of the large red mach-ine
so that it would operate pro-perly,
dispensing a bottle of Coca-
Cola whenever a dime was insert-ed
in the coin slot. (ACP).
I slept all the way into Mem-phis
and hardly knew what I was
doing when I got off the bus and
into the cab. When you came run-ning
after me with my billfold, I
didn't know what was coming off.
I'll bet you thought I was un-grateful.
I don't think I even
thanked you.
For the record, I'm reading a
Bible now, too.
When I got back to the base
and woke up, I started thinking
about you and that Bible. I went
to see my chaplain, and he told
me about Christ. Now I have a
whole new life.
Thank you, my friend.

•No Humor?
Dear Editor:
Ever since the exodus of one
A. J. Hubin to Wheaton College
the CLARION has been barren of
any humor.
What has happened to your fea-ture
articles ? Don't you have any-one
who can whip out a subtle
piece of humor ? I see a few
heavy handed, anemic attempts,
but that is all.
I would suggest an all out search
for new talent.
What good is a school paper
without scintillating wit and some
good natured satire upon Bethel
Signed after reading the
Clarion without flashing my
dimple —
Old Moody
Ed. Note.—That's strange. Last
week someone told us that even
the editorials were a joke.
•Student Reactions
To the editor:
Last Thursday evening the stu-dents
at Bethel had the opportun-ity
of seeing one of the most pow-erful
dramatizations in modern
writing, "All the King's Men."
However, to me, and I am sure, to
many others, the reaction of the
audience was little more than juv-enile
.. .
Giggles, titters, guffaws, tsk-tsk's,
and rude talking were the
means by which many present in-dicated
to their neighbors that
they were either shocked by . . .
things or that they were out-of-place
on a "Christian" campus .. .
Let us get realistic. Was there
really someone at the showing who
was shocked at what they saw?
Many Bethelites attend the thea-tre
regularly enough to have had
contact with all of these habits
and traits that the movie's char-acters
had, and those that do not
attend the theatre have seen the
same thing on television or in their
contacts each day with others .. .
These same individualls, when at
the theatre or in front of their TV
screen, do not make such com-ments
or display their emotions in
such a manner.
. . . there seems to me to be no
valid reason why anyone there
could not have . . . left between
reels if it was not to their lik-ing.
I hope that in the future .. .
audience behavior . . . will be such
as becomes mature Christians.

Where are those practical jokes
that once gave Bethel rich pub-licity
in "Confidential," "The Pol-ice
Gazette," and "Sword of the
Lord?" They are obviously lodged
only in the memories of the prank-sters
and their victims (or their
victims' survivors). Below are
four of the best in years past.
(1). Three fellows "borrowed"
eight alarm clocks from dorm
rooms (at mealtime), properly lab-eled
them for return, set them at
twenty-minute intervals, and de-posited
them in the library (in the
card catalogue, behind books, in
the waste basket). The library
closed after number five went off.
(2). A dorm genuis broke the
glass off a flash bulb and attach-ed
firecrackers to the filaments.
He then screwed the bulb into the
linen closet socket. The dorm sup-ervisor
had a brilliant moment
and got quite a bang out of it.
(3). In a girl-boy feud, the boy
ran a chain through the girl's
coatsleeves and aroung the railing
on the second-floor mezzanine. He
then padlocked it.
(4). The same boy acquired the
girl's "nighty," stuffed it with a
cardboard figure, and wired it to
the top of the flagpole. It stayed
two days and received wide notice.
Guests at the Bodien residence
open house will not want to miss
the hand-hewn Christmas tree in
room 124. Ruth Irons, following
an old family custom, searched
the woods near Hinkley, Minn. on
Thanksgiving day to find a tree
for her room. Using a hand saw,
she felled the five and a half foot
balsam without help. Ruth explain-ed
that she chose a balsam because
that's what biology professor Rus-sell
Johnson recommended in class
last year. Ruth and her roommate,
Lynn Weaver decorated the tree
and spotlighted it, using red tis-sue
paper over a study lamp.
They said guests should feel free
to bring presents to put under
the tree.
Sacred Cows?
by Marilyn Hagstrom
"Don't be so critical," we hear when we mention our dislike for
a particular chapel address, or complain about the poor music so
common in our churches, or express other opinions referring to the
church or to Christianity. There are some pious people who always
reprimand us for our negative viewpoint and critical manner.
We feel free to voice our opinions about the government, the edu-cational
system, other religions, the press, and any other institution.
But "our" church, or "our" minister, or "our" chapel service is hal-lowed
ground and must not be tread on. We are expected to accept
anything that is thrown our way if it is labeled spiritual.
We don't express distaste for the mouth organ solo that was a
part of last Sunday's worship service because Mabel was sincere in
her effort. Rev. Bellor's sermon didn't have much of a point, but he is
a devout man. Professor Ran Dom doesn't organize his material well
or stick to the point, but he is a great man of God.
Should we not be aware of the faults of our churches, ministers,
and worship services ? In "Areopagitica," John Milton says, "Where
there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing,
much writing, many opinions; for opinion in good men is but know-ledge
in the making."
It is not unspiritual for us to realize the need for improvement in
our churches and give our opinions about it. On the contrary, this re-veals
a healthy, seeking mind.

To Organize Today
A meeting to organize a Bethel
Ski club will be held tonight at
7 p.m. in the student
lounge of the college building.
"Anyone who is interested in
skiing should come," Dave Moran,
organizer, said. "It is not neces-sary
for a student to own skis or
even know how to ski. Beginners
will be welcome."
The club will sponsor short ski-ing
trips during the winter for its
members. Films on skiing may also
be shown.
If enough interested skiers join
Bethel may have representatives
skiing in the Intercollegiate Ski
Association, which includes all col-leges
in Minnesota.

Bethel Cops Opener
From Concordia 75-55
Paced by Rekstad's 16 points,
Bethel walked by Concordia J. C.
75-55 in their basketball opener
Saturday, Nov. 24.
The Royals jumped into the
lead on an opening field goal by
Borms and piled up a 36-22 half-time
It was a good opener for the
Royals in respect to testing the
club's reserves as twelve players
saw extensive action. The scor-ing,
as a result, was well divided.
In addition to Rekstad's high,
Conrad added 12, Borms and Wes-tin
11 each, and Pommerenke 8.
Singleton played a good defensive
game and worked the ball into the
hole very well.
Peterson led the Comets' attack
with ten points. But they lacked
any consistent offensive threat, as
the final score indicates.

vantage in the first three minutes
and were never headed after that.
The visitors controlled both boards
effectively and connected on their
second or third shot if they missed
the first. The Royals shot very
poorly at the start, and seldom
got a second chance. Hoover led
the scoring in the first period for
Souix Falls as he dumped in five
field goals and a free throw for
11 points. Rekstad hit on three
firld goals and five gift shots for
11 points to lead the Royals within
five points of the visitors at half
time, 35-30.
Personal fouls began to tell on
the scoreboard as Souix Falls
picked up 17 points via the gift
line. Rekstad, Ohlin and Porn-merenke
left the game with five
personals before the final whistle.
Midway through the second half,
Conrad and Pommerenke led the
Royals in an attempt to close the
gap. They picked up 22 points
between them and the Royals were
only three down with three min-utes
to go.
But the machine like precision of
Hoover and the free throws of
Pickart kept that three point mar-gin
and increased it to ten by the
end of the game.

she had no time to be lone-some
during her four activity-filled
days at the International
Students' conference in Chicago.
Maria caught her first glimpse
of the windy city before sunrise
Thanksgiving day morning. Thus
she had time to enjoy a turkey
dinner at the home of a North-western
university student before
the formal opening session of the
conference at Trinity college
Thursday evening.
Maria was one of approximately
thirty college students to take ad-vantage
of the Inter-varsity-spon-sored

gathering for foreign students
Last week Bethel welcomed nine-teen
more students to the campus.
Eleven of these have attended
Bethel previously.
New students who have come to
Bethel this quarter are Lee Chris-tensen,
David Coldren, Brian

Why should the students of Bethel "shell out" $6,000 out of their
own pockets each year to support 80% of the athletic program, ex-cluding
salaries ? Other schools make no such demands of the student
body. Why not take this money and use it to bring in a series of out-standing
speakers or for a no-charge all school culture-social program?
Now that Bethel has "grown up" why not emancipate the students
financial paucity from the burden of supporting the expense of an
athletic program? The school should assume a much larger part of
the financial responsibility for this program. The student's activities
fee only goes so far! This is one of several items that should be re-evaluated
in the budgeting of the student's activity fee.
Three years ago the Senate started talking seriously of revising
our antiquated Constitution. Two years ago, they were still talking
about it. Last year, still talk. This year? The same situation exists
with the Senate budget. One student leader demanded at the recent
leadership retreat, "When do we stop talking and start acting?" Per-haps
the echo of this remark will plague the Senate until something
is accomplished. Sorry to say, this negative characteristic seems to be
carried over into our Christian living - - - much talk, little action.
P.S. When do we have an all-school open Senate forum?

"Do you mean that Jesus was big and then got little?" Looking down I met the
startled blue eyes of Louise, the ten-year-old blonde in my Sunday school class.
I was a little startled, too, as I explained what I had always taken for grant-ed
-- that Jesus lived in heaven before Bethlehem.
Later I thought about how "big" He was and how "little" He became. The omni-present
God was confined to a cradle. The Creator of the world stumbled about
learning to walk. The One who set the stars .in place learned to count.
He who conceived the idea of light awake at night and cried in fear of the
darkness. He was the Source of life. Yet He was dependent on a young Jewish car-penter
and his wife for food.
He who had designed man by natural birth became a human being and only a few
shepherds noticed. Everyone else was too busy being taxed.

Did you know that Christmas has a slogan?
It is evidenced in every city from Baltimore to San Francisco, Perhaps it is
not printed so often as "the pause that refreshes" or sung so glibly as "light up a
Lucky," but it is just as popular.
In fact this slogan is followed by almost all our citizens.
This slogan does much to fulfill the true meaning of Christmas.
It aids in better relationships between friends--at least on the
surface--by encouraging the spirit of giving. If it were not for
this provocative phrase, many of our merchants would spend sleep-less
nights over a decline in sales.
It is very useful as a thermometer or gauge of true friendship
and definitely gives its adherents a graphic idea of their social
But cur slogan is different from most phrases of this type because thcse who
follow it so religiously will deny just as religiously that they ever heard of its
Isn't this paradoxical behavior? No doubt our slogan-disciples are just being
Modesty is truly an admirable trait, but as long as our slogan has such an
universal following it is only fair that it have the publicity that
soft drinks and cigarettes enjoy.
\ And so, at the beginning of this happy Yuletide season, let this phrase
f/---`-.— —0 , be heard: "Do unto others as you expect they might do unto you."
"Let's put Christ back in Christmas:" This cry is heralded every year for a
month preceding Christmas.. Yet, in all the years I've heard it, I have not yet
figured out what the shout is about.
Christ is in Christmas in that it is founded upon His birth, and the story of
His coming is heard more at this time of year than any other. There is emphasis on
the Christmas dinner and tinsel and glitter of the holiday, but in itself this is
not evil; it can be Christlike too.
It is our attitude at Christmas time which makes it Christ-like or not. And an
attitude is difficult to advertise in a trim slogan. God is no more in our country
because our coins say "in God we trust" than Christ will be in Christmas because we
advertise Him as a part of it.
There is a very Christ-like emphasis at Christmas time in that people are more
loving and generous than at any other time of year. However, whether these acts of
charity and good will spring from a desire to love the neighbor and be like Christ
or just to be a good fellow indicates the depth of the person. The motive must be
the criterion.
Christ will be in Christmas, then, only as much as He is in the individual.
Christmas is celebrated at different levels depending on the person's relationship
to Christ.
We are wrong in advertising Christ as a community project for December.
Dear Diary,
We went Christmas shopping today. My dumb roommate forgot to set the alarm so
we didn't get up till 9:30. I was so mad I didn't speak to her till we were almost
half way downtown. Of course, by this time everything was terribly crowded downtown.
A little boy had spilled popcorn at the main entrance to Woolworth's. He was
bawling as loud as he could. People who are that poor shouldn't spend money on
things like popcorn anyhow, even if it is Christmas. Someone should have bought him
some more just to shut him up.
I couldn't figure out what to buy for Aunt Mary. I finally decided on a silver
lazy susan for $9.95. She has quite a few lazy susans, but twenty can't be any more
useless than one.
I had to buy a toy for Santa Anonymous for some little poor boy. Everyone at
/\ work is giving something, and I would sure look cheap if I didn't
too. In the dimestore basement I got a huge tin dump truck for $.98.
LI It'll make a big package.
'(0 Regular salesgirls are stupid, but the extras they put on at Christ-c/
mas make the regulars look like Einsteins. One waited on me when I
bought some apple blossom bath powder for Alice in Dayton's. Then I
asked here where the nylon dusters were. I had to wait while she walked way down to
the other end of the counter to ask the regular. I felt like asking her whether she
got paid for not knowing anything.
Well we finally got a bus for home, but people were still people. This little
old lady, carrying an armful of packages and a shopping bag, stood next to my seat
on the bus. Well, as the bus got more crowded, she ended up holding on with one
hand, and dangling the shopping bag in front of my face.
Then, all of a sudden, the shopping bag began to rip. I had visions of me
underneath a mess of Christmas packages, so I propped it up.
Well, I wasn't going to sit there and hold that on top of my own packages for
the rest of the trip, so I started to think. I remembered some sticky seals I had
left in my purse from Sunday School class. They said "I am the Way" and showed
Christ praying. The kids got one in their book if they learned a memory verse.
Well, I patched that old shopping bag with about six or seven seals, and she was able
to hold it.
All the way home I thought about what a testimony that was. That old lady will
think of the nice girl on the bus whenever she looks at those seals. Maybe I've
started a chain reaction that will spark revival! It's wonderful to have a chance
to be a good Christian.
"And on earth peace, good will toward men." Every Christmas we reread in the
Scriptures these comforting words and we picture multitudes of shining white angels.
In Clinton, Tennessee, the white high school students have instigated a nuisance
campaign against the Negro students which includes rotten eggs, stones, and spilled
ink in lockers and dirty-name calling. "Good will toward men"?
White parents are forming a White Citizens Council which encourages the efforts
of the white high-schoolers and is attempting to use more forceful means to eject
the nine Negroes from high school. The Clinton school board formally asked if the
government would enforce the federal court integration order. "And on earth peace"?
Where are the shining white angels?
* * * * * *
What is Christmas spirit? From what sprouts all the cheerfulness, merriment,
happiness and satisfaction which makes the atmosphere of Christmas?
This spirit was Joseph's when he discovered Mary was to become a mother. The
custom of that day was to publicly disgrace a woman in such a condition--not Joseph,
he sacrificed his rights and cared for Mary when he had much reason to doubt her.
This spirit was Mary's for she knew what the consequences would be when people
found out she was carrying a child. But she sacrificed herself
This spirit was the shepherds' who left their hillside watch to
see the God-child.
This spirit was the Magi's who sacrificed the comforts of their
homeland and traveled miles to bring their gifts to the King-child
This spirit was God's who left His eternal home to become man.
This was the greatest sacrifice ever made.
We will have some of this spirit this Christmas. But if we slip into a spirit
of self-centeredness after Christmas, have we not somehow missed the point? If we
carry the spirit of Christmas into each day of 1957, we will show that we know what
Christmas spirit really is.
Many centuries ago when the stars were all assigned their places, there was one
star no one knew what to do with. He was so small that his tiny gleam could hardly
be seen. Besides, nearly every spot was already filled with a more capable star.
Finally the angel in charge gave him a corner so far away that no one on earth would
ever see his little light.
The tiny star was very disappointed, for his head had been filled with dreams
of how he would shine down and guide some traveller or light the way for someone who
was lost. Still, he tried to do his best and bravely shone in his out-of-the-way
corner for many centuries.
Then one night a great event took place, so great that it had never before been
equalled. In honor of the Child who was born, the Great King ordered a new star to
be placed over His bed. But there was no star that could be spared from its impor-tant
place. Earth knew each one well. The Keeper of the stars was called.
"Have you no star, however small and unimportant, that could be used?" the
Great King questioned.
The keeper thought for a moment. Then he replied, "Yes, there is one star who
does not fill an important place. But he is so small that his beams would never
reach earth."
"Bring him to me:" commanded the Great King.
As the tiny star was brought before the Great King, he wondered why he was
wanted. Had he done something wrong? Was the Great King displeased with him? He
had tried so hard. As he entered the throne room he trembled at the Great King's
"Is this the star?" the Great King asked.
"Yes," replied the Keeper.
"Come to me," the Great King said gently to the frightened little star. Slowly
the star approached the throne.
"Tonight my Son has been born on earth. To do Him honor I wish a star to shine
over His manger bed. Would you be willing to shine for Him?"
The star was amazed. What a great privilege to be allowed to shine over the
bed of the Great King's Son. Of course he would be willing, but . .
"Oh yes, Great King," he breathed eagerly. "But my light is so feeble. I am
so small. I am not worthy of this great honor."
"You are willing. That is enough. Anyone who is willing may do service for me
The Great King gently touched the little star and suddenly the room was filled
with its sparklin rays.
Still wondering at the miracle that had changed him, the tiny star - tiny no
longer - was led forth to shine over the manger bed. Looking down, he could see
shepherds worshiping and three great earth kings travelling towards the stable with
gifts that reflected his own joyous light. And when he looked at the Babe, the Great
King's Son, he glowed even more brightly bathing the face so holy, beautiful and pure

with a heavenly radiance. Never again would the little star mind the old, out-of-the-
way corner. He would always remember the joy of this evening. And while his
rays filled men with wonder and awe, the angel choir carolled over the holy evening
hush: "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men."
Again Christmas was being celebrated all over the earth. Heaven and earth
seemed to blend together in a harmonious song, praising God for his immeasurable
gift to mankind.
As Christ looked down to earth and remembered the people for whom He had given
up His throne and His life, His heart so overflowed with love that He desired to
send a gift to the mortals below. Summoning an angel, He sent him to the insignifi-cant,
dusty planet spinning along in interstellar space.
In a moment the angel was walking along the busy sidewalks of a metropolis, his
arms filled with the gifts from the Savior. He was pale and tired as he watched the
frustrated crowd of humanity pushing through the town without any clear aim in mind.
He stopped in the city square, and his throat choked up in agony for the multitude.
"Oh, come, come to me, and I shall give you great gifts:" pleaded the angel.
Soon he was encircled by a huge mass of people who were pushing each other try-ing
to get next to the generous stranger.
"Give me silk, mink, and diamonds: Give me a house: I want a cadillac:" Give,
give, give. . ."
The angel gave; he gave all he had, but still they were begging for more. Their
cries like daggers pierced his heart -- for he had given them all the gifts he car-ried.
Then he thought of the beauty of heaven, and he thought of Christ. Tn sudden
ecstasy he exclaimed, "Come, I have one more thing: I shall give you love. Come,
kiss my lips, for they bear the love of your Savior..."
The mob scattered. The angel was left alone in the city square. There was no
one to talk to him; no one recognized him -- he was in a strange world among creat-ures
he did not understand.
Slowly he left the noisy city and wandered over the snow-covered fields. He was
cold and lonesome for the warmth and light of the heavenly courts; he wanted to rise
above the starry sky, but there was no strength in his limbs. His tears glittered
on the snow; he was afraid. Suddenly, as if in a dream, he saw a bright light il-luminating
the stars own vault of heaven, and he saw the hand of Christ reach down.
In an instant the earth vanished, and he was again in the presence of his Lord, whom
all the angelic host adored, singing, "Glory to God, glory to God in the highest:"
Above the music the weary angel heard the familiar voice of Christ saying,
"They rejected me too:"

One month after the Newtown shooting, CNN "commemorated" the atrocity by hosting a string of gun control activists and Democratic politicians pushing for stricter gun laws.
From the 5 a.m. through the 3 p.m. news hours, CNN hosted five guests who had participated in the "Demand a Plan" campaign put on by the anti-gun group Mayors Against Illegal Guns. In addition, two Democratic congressmen and one Democratic senator appeared on the network and pushed for more gun laws. Only one Republican made an appearance to argue to the contrary.
Of the five CNN guests participating in the "Demand a Plan" campaign, three of them also worked for gun control advocacy organizations. Stephen Barton is a policy and outreach assistant at Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Colin Goddard works for the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence. Lori Haas works for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.
"We have to do something in this country, we have to do something now, and I think every gun should have a background check. And I also don't believe that people should own military-style assault style weapons. I just don't think they're necessary for hunting," guest Roxanna Green told CNN.
She added that for the Obama administration not to pursue an assault weapons ban would be a " huge mistake." Stephen Barton told CNN that, "the bottom line is that we need to have background checks for every gun sale in this country."
The three Democratic politicians who appeared on CNN were Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.), Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), and Rep. Jackie Speier (Calif.). The lone Republican face was former Congressman Connie Mack IV.
As NewsBusters reported earlier, Congressman Schiff got a soft interview from Carol Costello where he was able to tout proposed legislation that would open up more lawsuits against the gun industry by victims of gun violence.
Rep. Speier pushed for more background checks:
"The fact that our background check does not even address 40 percent of the guns that are purchased in this country a year is just unexplainable. And we've got to take steps to make sure we close those loopholes, make sure the dealers, in fact, aren't selling guns that become crime guns. And that if they do, that they have to pay penalties."

New Payment Card Standards Go Beyond Compliance
Aug 26, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Standards can be a way to get organizations to do things you want them to do, but oftentimes they don't get them to do much more.
The writers of payment-card standards appear to have been acutely aware of that phenomenon when the PCI Security Standards Council previewed their new PCI DSS 3.0 standard earlier this month.
"The existing PCI standard focuses clients on specific elements that are to be secured at a point in time -- when the auditor is there -- to get a PCI signoff for another year," Philip Lieberman, CEO of Lieberman Software, told TechNewsWorld. "For most merchants, the existing PCI standard is a one-time pain per year where things are cleaned up, and the bad security practices return almost immediately after the auditor leaves."
The new PCI standard won't be music to the ears for security hands who worship notion of the inviolate perimeter: "The new standard recognizes that perimeter breaches are a regular occurrence and outsiders regularly have access to credit card information," Lieberman said.
"Given that the perimeter is no longer secure, the only real mitigation is to have persistent controls within the interior that are both human and technological to minimize losses," he added. "The new standard properly focuses merchants into a vision of looking at security by process and technology that persists beyond the auditor's visit."

The new PCI standard will also encourage merchants to educate their employees about security, suggested Pierluigi Stella, CTO of managed security services provider Network Box USA.
"Apparently, the PCI industry has come to realize that while you can throw all the technology the world has to offer at this problem, if you fail to adequately educate the end user and ensure security becomes part of the way they conduct business, nothing will ever work," Stella told TechNewsWorld.
"There's absolutely zero use having an armored door if you don't instruct your employees to keep it always locked and monitor who uses it," he added.
Stella, too, praised the new guidelines' departure from the compliance rut: "I'm incredibly relieved to hear that PCI needs to be more focused on security and less on filling up check marks to reach compliance," he said.
"Compliance doesn't make you secure, while security will likely make you compliant," he added.
The new guidelines also appear to be getting ahead of the curve in another security area.
"This preview confirms that the downstream software supply chain is an emerging attack vector that impacts not only the payments industry, but enterprises as well," Torsten George, vice president for marketing at Agiliance, told TechNewsWorld.
"Increasing requirements for penetration testing, application development lifecycle security and threat modeling all point to the fact that supply chain risks are an escalating concern," he explained.
"Enterprises will need to go beyond vendor risk surveys and use verification services to test software applications prior to procurement and deployment," he added.
Mobile Passwords
Simple passwords are common everywhere consumers use passwords, but even more so with mobile phones. The reason for that is as simple as the passwords themselves.
"People generally don't want to type in a complex password on a mobile device as it is more difficult than a standard keyboard," Adam Ely, COO and co-founder of Bluebox, told TechNewsWorld.
"Almost all of our customers have commented on this," he added.
The convenience factor is a daunting one even for network administrators who might have the power to enforce stronger passwords on handsets.
"Even on mobile device management systems designed to allow organizations to enforce more complex authentication, organizations choose not to due to usability issues," David Britton, vice president of industry solutions for 41st Parameter, told TechNewsWorld.
However, smartphones have features -- built-in camera, GPS and voice recognition -- that may act in the future as more secure alternatives to passwords.
"Over time, I believe that mobile manufacturers will begin to exploit these alternate capabilities even for device access itself," Britton predicted, "in the same way that security organizations are beginning to exploit the diverse capabilities of the phone for systems and application authentication."

The Medical Center Cardiac Catheterization Lab is a state-of-the-art facility that is a vital tool in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. A highly skilled team of physicians, nurses and technicians perform a variety of procedures that can help improve blood flow and allow the heart to pump better.
- Cardiac Catheterization
- Coronary Angioplasty
- Coronary Stenting
- Percutaneous Aortic Balloon Valvuloplasty (PABV)
- Transesophageal Echocardiograms (TEE)
Cardiac Catheterization
Cardiac catheterization is used to diagnose heart problems and provide vital information about the heart's function. A thin tube called a catheter is inserted into the arteries of the heart, an x-ray dye is injected and a special X-ray called an angiogram is taken. The X-ray will show where blockages occur and to what extent. This valuable information will help the cardiologist determine if significant blockages are present and what treatment options are available.
See what happens by viewing a Cardiac Cath animation.
Coronary Angioplasty
Once a cardiac catheterization is performed to a locate blockage, an angioplasty can be performed to open a blocked artery. Using a catheter to reach the narrowed artery, the cardiologist inflates a balloon to open the blockage.
Coronary Stenting
Once an angioplasty has been performed and the narrowed artery is expanded, a stent can be placed against the artery wall to hold the artery open.
Watch a Stent placement animation.
Percutaneous Aortic Balloon Valvuloplasty (PABV)
Percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty is a treatment for an aortic valve that has become damaged or diseased. A catheter is passed through the aortic valve, and the balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated in order to open the leaflets or flaps of the valve. The balloon is then deflated and the catheter is removed.
Learn more about balloon valvuloplasty.
Transesophageal Echocardiograms (TEE)
A transesophageal echocardiogram is a special type of echocardiogram that assesses the heart's function and structures. Unlike a traditional echocardiogram that places monitors on the chest, a transesophageal echocardiogram is performed by inserting a probe down the esophagus. This gives clearer, more-detailed images of the heart because the sound waves sent out from the probe do not have to pass through skin, muscle and bone.
Learn more about transesophageal echocardiogram.
Electrophysiology (EP) Services
The Medical Center also provides Electrophysiology (EP) services for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with abnormal heart rhythms. Learn more about the Electrophysiology Lab.
Chest Pain Center
The Cardiac Cath Lab is a critical component of The Medical Center's Chest Pain Center accreditation by the American College of Cardiology. The Cardiac Catheterization Lab has a 24/7 call team that performs PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) or cardiac catheterization for the emergency treatment of individuals suffering a heart attack. This treatment allows cardiologists to go directly to the source of an obstruction, thus preserving heart muscle and potentially reducing mortality.

Andreas Wiehl is Munich-based artist, art teacher and self-proclaimed inventor. With 'Stickabee' he presents a smart modular system and provides hope that art classes don't have to end with painting and pottery.
'Stickbee' is a modular furniture system based on the 60-degrees angle. Six basic elements are monted to a hexagon, with no tools required. Two or more hexagons connect via a pug-in module, namely the 'pirat'. The resulting structure, similar to a honeycomb, becomes more stable with its size increasing, thus making gaps in betweeen the elements possible. Thus the system can take a variety of shapes and can function as a shelf, a cupboard, a table, a bench, a chair or any combination of the latter.

Famous Artists Photographed with their Dogs
We recently read an article in The New York Times examining the prevalence of dogs in art throughout the ages, and we got to thinking — we know there are tons of musicians who love dogs (though writers, it seems, tend to be cat people), but what about the more visually-oriented artists? Since, as the Times points out, dogs have been popping up in art for hundreds of years, we thought it was safe to assume that there are at least a few artists who are fans of the friendly beasts. After all, there's something very inspirational — and also very down to earth and universal — about the love of a good pup, and as it turns out, lots of artists have indeed incorporated canines into their lives as well as their art. And, this is rather strange, but there seem to be an inordinate number of dachshunds in the arms of artists. If you can figure out why, let us know. In the meantime, click through to see our gallery of famous artists photographed with their dogs, and let us know if we missed a great photo of your favorite artist with their furry friend in the comments!

Carly Rae Jepsen to Record Song for Disney's 'The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition'
Maybe this explains why she's a redhead now!
Carly Rae Jepsen is slated to cover an iconic tune from none other than Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' for the classic cartoon's upcoming Diamond Edition re-release.
Disney Dreaming reports that the one-time 'Canadian Idol' runner up will cover 'Part of Your World,' the film's signature ballad, for the October 1, 2013 release. The track was written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman and was first recorded by Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the film.
Jepsen's dropped hints about the project on Instagram, with pics like this:
Further details are scant, but we bet fans of the preternaturally youthful songstress will eat this tune up!

Agile! Scrum! Development methodologies! Sprint!
If you have a manager who reads any web page about being a manager, then you have probably heard about Scrum. Scrum development is very attractive from a manager or stakeholder's point of view. You get short bursts of development and can see results quickly.
With my experience, companies with no scrum experience who want to adapt this method search the web and find a scrum coach and then book 1-3 day sessions. Being in these sessions before, I know they are long and extremely boring.
Having said that though, I have seen scrum in action and think it works great for teams that do it right. If you have a dedicated team working on one project then scrum can do wonders for you. Even if you have a couple projects going it can work well with an experienced scrum master.
Being a DBA though, I find it hard to fit into scrum. I have been part of scrum teams developing some application but usually only brought on to write some SP's, create a package, or another smaller task. I end up sitting in on 2-3 hour sprint planning meetings and end up with a couple hours worth of work.
The other problem with a DBA and scrum is that a good chunk of the work that I get isn't planned a week (or 2) in advance.
"Database guy, I need access to server 2930dkdks. It's holding up production"
"Are you the guy who gives me the reports? I need 10 reports by 1pm today!"
"Mind helping out with this query? I'm not sure why it's slow, I only use UNION ALL 10 times"
"Mind checking out that server? It's out of space"
I would love to tell all these people to wait till next sprint but then I would have a lot of angry co-workers complaining to my manager.
This is why I feel scrum might not work for DBAs. Sure, I could factor in 30-40% of my time into each of my sprints to take outside requests but what happens when I only get one user all sprint who needs help for 30 minutes? Or what happens when Joe the engineer deletes the wrong database on the wrong server in the middle of day and you have to spend the rest of the day fire fighting?
The other problem is that I'm not on a team of DBA's. I do dev work, I do admin work, and I do BI work. Whatever is needed from my co-workers and my company.
I love the idea of Scrum and thinks it works well for developers but not so sure it works for DBAs.
I currently manage my tasks with a to-do list and a backlog. I revaluate the priorities of my to-do list daily and if I finish everything I reach into the backlog until another request comes in. If the backlog is a bit bare, there are always improvements to be made to current systems.
Are you a DBA that uses scrum?
If so, how do you make it work?
If not, how do you get around the manager who loves scrum and insists that you be a part of it?

Hope College junior Carrie Snikkers of Jenison, Mich. (Unity Christian HS) has been voted the NCAA Division III State Farm/WBCA player of the year by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).
The award was presented Thursday in Bloomington, Ill. during a banquet celebrating the championships of NCAA Division III basketball. The WBCA All-America team was also announced with Snikkers joining nine other players on the honor squad.
Hope has advanced to the championships for the third time in school history. The Flying Dutch won the national title in two previous final four appearances (1990 and 2006). Hope (31-1) will meet Rochester, N.Y. (23-6) in a semi-final game on Friday.
The State Farm/WBCA players of the year award are presented annually to the best women's basketball player in NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA, Junior College/Community College, and High School. Nominees are selected from the players selected to eight All-Region teams. The top vote-getter is named The State Farm/WBCA Player of the Year.
Co-captain of this year's team, Snikkers is a two-time All-American. Hope during her career has posted an 89-4 record, won three consecutive conference championships and advanced to at least the Elite Eight of the NCAA championships.
"Carrie has unique abilities that enable her to change the game,"observed coach Brian Morehouse. "She is a tremendous low post player who can rebound and block shots. But she can step out and shoot three-pointers, too. She a tremendous passer with the uncanny ability to get the ball to the right people at the right time. She has a great feel for the game."
This year, despite missing eight games at mid-season with a foot stress fracture, she has set a Hope single season record for blocked shots (66). With a season left in her career, she already owns the Hope career mark for blocked shots."
This season she is averaging 13.9 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. In NCAA tournament games she is averaging 20.2 points and 10.8 rebounds a game. She has had seven double-doubles this year.
She is a graduate of Unity Christian High School where as a senior she played on a state championship team. She was also second in the voting for Miss Michigan Basketball as a high school senior.
A communications major at Hope, she is the daughter of John and Grace Snikkers. She has five siblings including a younger brother Tom who was a starter as a freshman on the Calvin College basketball team.

Roger Dean Selected Album Covers Part 1: 1969 - 1972
Ultimately, the style became so recognisable that a band seeking to fit int oa certain demographic would take Dean on knowing that punters in record shops would immedaitely know what they were buying - a great advantage for budding prog-rockers, but it led Dean into self-repetition; people went to him with a very particular look in mind, and he was duty-bound to provide it.
So part two will be both Dean at his 'purest' and at his most cynical - superficially, the two are similar. Here, though, we've got a mixed bag of 'early efforts' - some great, some not. Some looking like his 'style', some not at all. Grwoing pains, I guess.
Earth and Fire: Earth and Fire: I think the gnarled roots of a tree are creepy, and clearly so does Roger Dean. This early work is not his earliest, but it's one of them. Pen-and-ink, it would seem.
Gun: Gun: This would be his very first, apparently, with a dark hellbeast vibe that has little to do with the main Roger Dean style. Reminds me of Gerald Scarfe and his work on Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Lighthouse: One Fine Morning: Very hippie-ish. Of course, Dean's style and the artists he worked with came straight out of the hippie era, but it's odd to see it so carefully aped here.
Dr. Strangely Strange - Heavy Petting: A die-cut piece - the early years have several of those. It seems that the three faces are revealed through a die cut, and the entire cover is divided into two (three, in fact) by die-cutting. I don't know what opening the flaps reveals.
Nucleus: Elastic Rock: Another die-cut piece, reminiscent of the groundbreaking "Blue Monday" New order sleeve that would come a decade later. Roger Dean certainly worked with a good many nobodies back in the day.
Atomic Rooster: In Hearing of Atomic Rooster: This is a cute pre-rock homage, like It's a Beautiful Day. Humorous.
Midnight Sun: Midnight Sun: The Roger Dean style is slowly evolving, not least of which the fact that we see that classic 'Roger Dean font' here for the first time. A cast of odd characters, a big frog, a chariot. Surreal.
Osibisa: Osibisa: The first of two for an African-British band. Flying elephant mosquitoes, just like it ought to be.
Osibisa: Woyaya: Osibisa again, with the elephant-mosquito flying over a very Roger Dean-esque pond.
Pete Dello and Friends: Into Your Ears: An earwig and a caterpillar. And a black outline, and text - this won't survive long.
Ramases: Space Hymns: Quite beautiful, really. Not overly Roger Deanesque, though it still evokes his particular mood. Pretty green.
The Keith Tippett Group: Dedicated to You But You Weren't Listening: One of th elast we'll see here with a non-'trademark' feel to it. But it's clever as hell, a woman with a baby in her head. I kind of wish Roger Dean hadn't stuck so faithfully to his one particular 'thing'.
Yes: Fragile: And the real legacy begins. The font's not there yet - in fact, nothing is, really It's a fantasy landscape, but it's an entire planet, and it doesn't really have that classic Roger Dean 'feel' quite yet.
Babe Ruth: First Base: I doubt baseball is very much Roger Dean's thing. But what to do with a project where the band and the album are both named for Baseball?
Gentle Giant: Octopus: A wee bit too literal? It's called Octopus, here's an octopus. What more do you want?
Gracious!! - This is Gracious!!: No idea who Gracious!! are, but I like this naughty stained-glass idea a lot.
Midnight Sun: Walking Circles: Several thousand years ago, a mutant half-human half-meerkat frose to death on an ice floe. Reminds me of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth today.
Paladin: Charge!: Well, literal - a horse charging. But it's no 'Octopus redux' - the horse seems vaguely cyborg-like, and the rider seems vaguely horsey. I don't get it, but interesting.
The John Dummer Band: Blue: A die-cut masterpiece: look at it carefully to figure it out. The 'cover' itself is nothing more than a pink box with two clouds cut into it. Neither is what might be the inner side of a gatefold or what might be an inner sleeve: the 'goods' are all contained on 'layer three'. It's beautiful, even if it's not quite the right colour for the album title, and even if presumably a bit of use subjected this cover to horrid wear-and-tear.
Third Ear Band: Music From Macbeth: Well, the title screams 'prog'. This is a creepy cover of three people doing something intimate and probably unpleasant. the witches? But where is their cauldron? And whence the bubble, bubble, toil and trouble?
Uriah Heep: Demons and Wizards: I must admit - this looks like a high schooler parodying Roger Dean. It's all a bit too obvious, isn't it?
Various Artists: Motown Chartbusters, Vol. Six: How Barry Gordy got Dean's number I'll never know, and why Dean deigned to design a cover for a knock-off 'Now That's What I Call Music' type compilation I'll never know. But it's the incogruity that gets me. Giant bugship, yay.
Yes: Close to the Edge: And with his 'muses' Yes, Roger Dean manages to subvert his 'look' before he's even truly established it. I guess there are standard-Dean landscapes elsewhere in this package, but the cover is all green. Thick green fog on Planet Dean that day? Don't ask me why, but I like it.

Special stuff here. Some of it makes me feel very nostalgic for the old gate fold. I love his mid-period Yes creations and the Osibisa elephants are cool. Top marks for Budgie.ReplyDelete
Hey... I dare say I'm the best album cover designer in music history. EX: Google CHINK FLOYD and look on their myspace for the numerous funny / innovative posters and album art I did for them. Thousands more on request!ReplyDelete
