Yeah, I know, it's been forever and a day since I actually posted anything, but the World Cup makes a person want to blog again, if only to complain about how rough the US has it. Anyway, the ridiculously drawn out official draw was today and while yeah, the US has it rough, spare a thought for the Aussies, who have an even tougher go. And while almost everyone can complain about the groups right now, in the end it's all about what happens on the field. Anything can happen on any given day and that's one of the things that makes the World Cup (and sports in general) so awesome.
Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon
Group B: Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia
Group C: Colombia, Greece, Ivory Coast, Japan
Group D: Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy
Group E: Switzerland, Ecuador, France, Honduras
Group F: Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iran, Nigeria
Group G: Germany, Portugal, Ghana, USA
Group H: Belgium, Algeria, Russia, South Korea
I'll admit that my initial thoughts were that the USA was on the receiving end of a brutal draw (In fact I think my exact words were 'holy shit'). But after thinking about it a little bit, I don't think it's nearly as bad as it could've been. I think it's great that the US will open against Ghana. It's going to be huge for the Yanks to start the tournament well and if they can do so against a team that's knocked them out of the last two World Cups, so much the better. There's no doubt they'll have the motivation to take down Ghana. Portugal is tough, even if they only qualified through the strength of one Mr. Ronaldo, but I do think they are beatable if the US can play an entire 90 minutes. I believe that Germany is the top team in the group and probably one of the favorites for the tournament. That will be interesting if only for the storyline of Klinsmann taking on his home country. I'll chalk that one up for a German victory.
As I've said in the past, the key to US success on the big stage is putting together a solid 90 minutes. They can't afford to have lapses and give up early goals like they did against England, Slovenia, Ghana x2 last time around. Coming from behind to win/draw is not a sustainable model for success. The US has been playing well in the past year and I think Klinsmann's system is finally starting to click. It's just a matter of whether they can show up when it really counts and play consistent football.
Now for the extremely premature predictions. Of course a team's chances could go to hell in a handbasket pretty quick with a couple key injuries and we all know that there is a lot of football to be played before we get to Brazil. But based on how things stand currently, this is what my gut says:
Advance to second round (1st, 2nd)
Group A: Brazil, Croatia
Group B: Spain, Chile
Group C: Colombia, Japan
Group D: Italy, England
Group E: France, Honduras
Group F: Argentina, Nigeria
Group G: Germany, USA
Group H: Belgium, South Korea
A1 vs. B2: Brazil vs. Chile – Brazil
A2 vs. B1: Spain vs. Croatia – Spain
C1 vs. D2: Colombia vs. England – Colombia
C2 vs. D1: Japan vs. Italy – Italy
E1 vs. F2: France vs. Nigeria – France
E2 vs. F1: Honduras vs. Argentina – Argentina
G1 vs. H2: Germany vs. South Korea – Germany
G2 vs. H1: USA vs. Belgium – Belgium
Round of 8
Brazil vs. Colombia – Brazil
France vs. Germany – Germany
Spain vs. Italy – Spain
Argentina vs. Belgium – Argentina
Brazil vs. Germany – Brazil
Spain vs. Argentina – Spain
Brazil vs. Spain – Brazil
Going with the home country in this one. France was the last team to lift the World Cup in their home country, but I think Brazil has the talent to get it done. Spain's got the experience though and Brazil will be under mountains of pressure, so I anticipate this final going down to the last minutes.

I've came across this article which uses the phrase "poured cloud water". Is this a well known expression? Searching Google, the first page shows me only places where this article is quoted.
From the article the meaning would seem to be "to debunk", if it's a well known phrase is that accurate?
And where does the phrase come from? Cloud water is rain, I guess. Why would raining mean something like that and in such a wording?
Could be that the writer invented it, but it seems strange to me.

I wrote a fresh start, stripping out the political arguments. At 3,500 words this was still too long, although it may be useful for detail and explanation. So I wrote a condensed version in 500 words. This is supposed to get the core idea across. Does it?
Condensed version here:
The world is made of matter, and so are people. People have purpose. Why is that? Matter doesn't have purpose. It follows the laws of motion. Purpose starts at some level above the basic movement of matter.
The most important thing this movement does is increase entropy. But there are still times when local entropy decreases, even as overall entropy continues to increase. That can happen when a heat engine runs inside a heat differential. As when evaporation and rainfall fill lakes with clean water that has been distilled from salty oceans. Here, sunlight is driving a process that runs against the increase of entropy. It's a local ordering process.
Evaporation and rainfall depend passively on surrounding conditions. They do nothing to maintain themselves. In contrast, the evolution of a species of bacteria adapts itself to its surroundings. The adaptation process happens by trial and error. There is no planning or will or intention, but there is purpose. The purpose is survival. This is a process that actively adjusts its course so that it can keep running against the increase of entropy.
The adjustments are written in matter. The evolutionary process maintains its local order in the shape of a pool of genetic information. To do that, it reads and writes information. This is called computation. Evolution is a computational local ordering process.
Big animals also carry information in their nervous systems. This mental information is different from genetic information. It only lasts as long as the individual animal, but there is a lot more of it. The important difference is that an animal can use computational methods that are not limited to trial and error. It uses these methods to control its surroundings and survive.
At the same time, an individual thought process is only a subprocess of evolution. It does not keep itself going indefinitely. A big brain is selected for only to the extent that it helps an individual animal obtain evolutionary advantage. To obtain individual advantages, many species show cooperative behaviors such as kin selection and reciprocal altruism. These behaviors result in local ordering through the trial and error method of natural selection, not through the more powerful methods of the individual thought process.
But the thought process can replace evolution. It does this by taking control of its own genes and reproduction. This possibility is open to humans who share their individual thought processes and build the right tools. Then their shared thought process can maintain itself through its own methods, instead of through the methods of the evolutionary process. It becomes independent.
These humans need communication, not advantage. They control their individual surroundings, not each other. They refuse to seek evolutionary advantages over each other because they understand that the shared thought process is better than evolution at maintaining local order. It is more efficient and effective. This understanding is the crowbar to pry them away from their old purpose and move them over to their new purpose.

Your Social Security Benefits
BOSTON (CBS) – 94% of all workers are currently covered under Social Security.
34% of the workforce has no savings set aside specifically for retirement.
You are going to need your Social Security benefit in retirement.
To receive Social Security benefits, you must work and pay taxes into the system. An exception would be an at-home spouse or a child of a worker who could collect benefits as a dependent or a survivor.
You earn Social Security "credits" that count toward eligibility for future benefits. You can earn a maximum of four credits each year. This year you need to earn $1,200 for each credit. The amount of money needed to earn one credit increases every year.
Most individuals need 40 credits (10 years of work) to qualify for retirement benefits. Younger people need fewer credits to be eligible for disability benefits or for their family members to be eligible for survivor benefits if they should die.
During your working lifetime, you will hopefully earn more credits than you need for eligibility. The extra income you earn will increase your final benefit because the more you earn and the longer you work the larger your benefit will be because of the way the benefit formula is set up.
This year your employer and you will each contribute 6.2 percent of your gross salary, up to $117,000. Self-employed individuals will pay 12.4 percent of their taxable income into Social Security (again, up to the annual limit). Self-employed individuals are allowed a deduction for half of the tax. The limit on the taxable income goes up every year.
You can apply for benefits online or do it in person at a SSA office near you. Call 800-772-1213 to set up an appointment.
If you are many years away from collecting your benefit, you can estimate what that benefit will be. The Retirement Estimator on the Social Security website is a great planning tool. Many things in the future could change the final number though. It is meant to be a planning tool.
More: Hang on to those W-2s you receive from your employer. That W-2 may be the only proof you have of former employment. The Social Security Administration records your earnings information on an annual basis. It receives the information from your employer in order to credit your account. If your name or number is incorrect, someone else may be credited with your earnings.
If there are errors, correct them as soon as possible with the Social Security. As long as you have proof of your earnings they will make the correction, no matter how far in the past the error occurred.

You should keep the following issues and notes in mind:
OS X 10.4 deprecated startup items in favor of launchd daemons, and as of OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), startup items do not function. For these reasons, using launchd daemons is preferred over startup items.
The default location for the MySQL Unix socket is different on OS X and OS X Server depending on the installation type you chose. The following table shows the default locations by installation type.
Table 2.11 MySQL Unix Socket Locations on OS X by Installation Type
|Installation Type
|Socket Location
|Package Installer from MySQL
|Tarball from MySQL
|MySQL Bundled with OS X Server
To prevent issues, you should either change the configuration
of the socket used within your application (for example,
php.ini), or you should
configure the socket location using a MySQL configuration file
and the
socket option. For more
information, see Section 5.1.3, "Server Command Options".
You may need (or want) to create a specific
mysql user to own the MySQL directory and
data. You can do this through the Directory
Utility, and the
mysql user
should already exist. For use in single user mode, an entry
_mysql (note the underscore prefix)
should already exist within the system
/etc/passwd file.
If you get an "insecure startup item disabled" error when MySQL launches, use the following procedure. Adjust the pathnames appropriately for your system.
Modify the mysql.script using this command (enter it on a single line):
sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit
Locate the option file that defines the
basedir value and modify it to contain
these lines:
basedir=/usr/local/mysql datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data
In the
directory, make the following group ID changes from
staff to
sudo chgrp wheel MySQLCOM StartupParameters.plist
Start the server from System Preferences or Terminal.app.
Because the MySQL package installer installs the MySQL
contents into a version and platform specific directory, you
can use this to upgrade and migrate your database between
versions. You will need to either copy the
data directory from the old version to
the new version, or alternatively specify an alternative
datadir value to set location of the data
You might want to add aliases to your shell's resource file to make it easier to access commonly used programs such as mysql and mysqladmin from the command line. The syntax for bash is:
alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql alias mysqladmin=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin
For tcsh, use:
alias mysql /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql alias mysqladmin /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin
Even better, add
/usr/local/mysql/bin to
PATH environment variable. You can do
this by modifying the appropriate startup file for your shell.
For more information, see Section 4.2.1, "Invoking MySQL Programs".
After you have copied over the MySQL database files from the
previous installation and have successfully started the new
server, you should consider removing the old installation
files to save disk space. Additionally, you should also remove
older versions of the Package Receipt directories located in

By ODU Athletics
April 11, 2013
RICHMOND, Va. - Old Dominion University's Sidni Hoxha (Tirane, Albania) was named the 2013 CAA Swimmer of the Year in a vote by the league's head coaches. Hoxha was the only CAA swimmer to qualify for the NCAA Championships, where he competed in the 50 and 100 free. He now becomes only the second ODU athlete to be named CAA Swimmer of the Year, joining three-time winner Arni Arnason.
At the NCAA Championships in March, Hoxha placed 18th in the 50 freestyle with a time of 19.67 and finished 29th in the 100 freestyle with a time of 43.48.
Hoxha was honored as the Co-Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet at the 2013 CAA Championships after winning five medals, setting four school records and posting two NCAA B-cut times. Hoxha won the 50 freestyle for the third year in a row with a time of 19.78 after setting a new meet record of 19.60 in the prelims. He also posted a first-place finish in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:37.17 and was a member of the Monarchs' third-place 800 freestyle relay team. Hoxha set a new CAA record this season in the 100 freestyle with a time of 43.43.
Hoxha has competed in the Olympics twice, first in Beijing in 2008, followed by his most recent involvement in the 2012 Olympics in London. Hoxha opened some eyes at the London Olympics, capturing the top time in his heat and finishing in 37th overall.
The son of Shpetim and Albene Hoxha, Sidni comes from a line of impeccable athletes. His father was a great tennis player in his day, ranking at No.3 in Albania. Hoxha's grandfather was also involved in sports, playing for Albania's national soccer team. Not only does Sidni work hard in the pool but he also works hard in the classroom pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering.
In 2010, Hoxha was named the CAA Rookie of the Year.
David Sanchez (Drexel) was selected as the 2013 CAA Diver of the Year. Joining Hoxha and Sanchez for 2013 award winners in men's swimming and diving was William & Mary freshman Will Manion (Haddonfield, N.J.), who was selected as the CAA Men's Rookie Swimmer of the Year. UNCW's Dave Allen was voted the CAA Men's Swimming Coach of the Year for the ninth time and Drexel's Katryn Valladares was selected as the CAA Men's Diving Coach of the Year for the first time.

|Medical Center
|Medical Center
March 17, 2014
Concussions and other brain injuries in sports were the topics of discussion on Capitol Hill on March 13, and lawmakers called on a pair of University of Nebraska faculty to help educate them on the topic.
Dennis Molfese, professor of psychology and director of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3), and UNL physics professor Tim Gay joined other expert witnesses at the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing.
The hearing focused on what the sports industry is doing to protect its players, from young children to professional athletes.
"Every day, parents make choices about whether or not to let their daughter play soccer or what kind of mouthpiece to buy their son for his first day of Pop Warner football," said Rep. Lee Terry of Nebraska, the subcommittee's chairman. "Unfortunately, it seems like every day, we hear about how participation in certain sports can be dangerous. We want to better understand the innovations being made by sports leagues, equipment manufacturers and the medical community to make all sports safer."
Efforts to prevent and mitigate the occurrence of concussions in sports, including game rule changes, coaching and player education, guidelines and the development of brain injury research and equipment research and development were discussed in the subcommittee hearing.
Improving helmet safety is one factor that could prevent sports concussions, Gay said.
"It is apparent that adding more energy-absorbing foam to a helmet will lower the maximum forces delivered to a player's skull, and thus reduce the risk of a concussion," he said.
Whenever padding is retrofitted to the outside of a helmet, its diameter increases, and the torque that can be applied by a glancing blow is increased, he said. While this lowers the risk of concussion, it dramatically increases the risk of neck injuries, he said.
Gay urged increased use of equipment analytic systems, like the Star rating system and the Head Impact Telemetry System (HITS), which help improve helmet and injury assessment.
While Gay focused on ways to prevent sports injuries, Molfese explained the challenges doctors face in correctly diagnosing concussions, including a patient's ability to accurately report symptoms.
"In the absence of objective measures, this long-used approach is fatally flawed," he said.
Representatives from the NFL and NHL and other athletes also testified.
Click here for a C-SPAN video of the hearing. Molfese appears at 2:03:00; Gay appears at 2:14:00.
UNL's CB3, approved by the Board of Regents in 2013, is an interdisciplinary center located inside East Stadium that brings together faculty from the social, biological and behavioral sciences and engineering. The center's state-of-the-art facilities and multidisciplinary environment enable diverse research and education that expand understanding of brain functions and their effects on human behavior. The center is a unique partnership between UNL research and athletics and has helped position UNL as a national leader in research on concussions and other sports injuries.

Faculty Trio Presents Recital
Appearing next Friday evening, February 13 in a faculty recital
will be Miss Mildred Bisgrove, pianist and assistant professor of music;
Valdeko Kangro, violinist and instructor in music; and Kaljo Raid,
'cellist and instructor in music.
This first faculty recital of the year will be held at 8:30 p.m. in
the college chapel.
The program by the string trio will include:
Trio in C Major for piano, violin and 'cello Mozart
Contrition Bloch
Perpetual Motion Novacek
Trio in C Minor, op. 101, for piano, violin and 'cello Brahms
"U" Chamber Singers Perform Tonight
sefrte. &rad
sp.-kw e...eid
The University Chamber Singers will present a concert at 8:30
o'clock tonight in the college chapel.
The forty voice a cappella choir is the most select singing organiza-tion
at the university.
It is directed by Caro M. Carapetyan, professor of music, director
of the choirs, and voice teacher at the University of Minnesota. He
is a graduate of Columbia Univer-sity,
and formerly taught at Kent
State University in Ohio and North
Texas State College.
The concert, which is predomi-nately
sacred classics, will include
a Bach motet, Russian church num-bers,
a group of 'English madrigals.
and Latin church songs. The pro-gram
will also feature a 'cello
soloist and a contralto soloist. One
number employs three choirs and
another has two choirs of six
voices each and a brass ensemble.
The concert is sponsored by the
senior class. Tickets are $1.00.
pecial Weeks Probed
At the January class meeting the
Freshman class voted to deprive
themselves of attendance "for the
cause of school spirit," the sopho-more
class opposed the recommen-dation;
the juniors upheld their
proposal; and the senior dais vot-ed
for the amendment rules by a
slight majority.
With varying degrees of enthus-iasm,
the members of the student
council proceded to determine the
rules for the 1953 J. S. Banquet.
Freshman representatives clearly
stated ". . . we are willing to stay
out of it . . ." The sophomore rep-resentatives
defended the position
of their class atesting, ". . . we
want to be included in that we are
graduating sophomores . . ." The:
juniors said, ". . . we desire a
strictly Junior-Senior affair, one
member of the couple should be in
either class . . ." The seniors as-serted
that they would vote for the
proposal to limit attendance to
upper classmen.
The motion that carried the de-cision
by majority (eight to three)
eliminates the sophomores and
freshmen and allows girls to ask
their choice.
Complimentary tickets for grad-uating
seniors may be discontinued
or continued depending on the
wish of the junior class.

plai.a. 44e
Miss Effie Nelson, Dean of Wo-men
and chairman of the Com-mencement
committee, announced
today the speakers and plans for
commencement and baccalaureate.
Dr. William
Cu lbertson,
president o f
Moody Bible
Institute in
Chicago, will
give the com-mencement
on Fri-day,
June 5, at
8:00 p.m.
The Rev. Miss Nelson
Klingberg, associate secretary of
Home Missions for the Baptist Gen-eral
Conference, will deliver the
baccalaureate message the Sunday
afternoon preceding graduation.
Music will be provided by the
Chapel CnOir and Male Chorus un-der
the direction of Mr. C. Howard
Smith and the Rev. Nels Stjern-strom.
Commencement was to be held
in the field house but due to com-plications
involving a covering for
the floor, platform and musical in-struments,
it is doubtful that Beth-el
will hold the 1953 commence-ment
on campus.
1. That the areas of student
needs in line with the school's
objectives which should be met
by weeks of special emphasis be
cared for as follows:
a. A deeper life or spiritual em-phasis
week, approximately the
third week of the fall quarter, to
help students make more vital
their personal relationship to Je-sus
Christ as Savior and Lord, es-pecially
as this relates to basic
desires or motives, to diligent and
meaningful Bible study and pray-er,
and to ethical living.
b. A missions week, the first
week in December, to give to stu-dents
a more discerning and ap-preciative
understanding of the
over-all Christian missionary en-terprise
(both home and foreign),
especially as this relates to Con-
' ference Baptist missions, and to
invite commitment to missionary
c. A stewardship or Christian
vocation week, the second week of
the spring quarter, to inform and
inspire students regarding the
Christian calling involved in many
various activities and professions,
either within the so-called secular
fields or within the Christian min-istry,
and to challenge them re-garding
service in special Chris-tian
summer projects.
2. That the following suggestions
be considered as essential for mak-ing
effective the proposed special
emphasis weeks:
a. That responsibility for the
three special weeks be vested in a
special standing committee made
up of faculty members appointed
for that purpose and of the stu-dent
religious council or commit-tee;
and this standing committee
consider how these weeks may best
be financed, and be charged with
the responsibility for evaluating
the effectiveness of these weeks.
b. That special consideration be
given to those interests and needs
of students which are distinctive
of the three major divisions of our
school; junior college, senior col-lege,
and seminary.
c. That possibilities of techni-ques
other than the use of out-side
speakers be explored, espec-ially
those involving student lead-ership.
d. That integration into the re-gular
total curriculum (class ses-sions,
extra-curricular activities,
etc.) be better effected.
e. That this committee give con-sideration
to making better use of
Founder's Week in meeting stu-dent
needs, even though it contin-ues
to be planned for pastors by
another committee.
Council Decides Ori J. S.
Student council release, February 6, 1953. The following statement
was the decision of the January 27 meeting:
"In order for a couple to attend the Junior-Senior Banquet
of 1953, one member of the couple must be a junior or
senior in the college. Any other student (not attending as
a member of a couple) must be a junior or senior in the
This decision came as a revision of the proposal suggested to the
council by the junior class and presented before the student body in
the January class meeting. The suggested rules of the Junior class pro-vided
that only sophomores, juniors, and seniors would attend the
banquet, the practice of giving seniors complimentary tickets would
be discontinued, and only fellows would ask for dates.
Tonight—Senior Concert present Chamber Singers from the "U"
at 8:30 p.m. in the College chapel. Admission $1.00.
Saturday, 7 February—Game night in Edgren Residence.
Saturday, 7 February—Bethel vs. Northlanders at Ashland, Wisc.
Monday, 9 February — F.M.F. Devotional studies in Seminary
Lounge, 9:30 - 10:00 p.m.
Tuesday, 10 February—Girls' Basketball game—Bethel vs. North-western,
8 p.m.
Tuesday, 11 February—Girls' Basketball game—Bethel vs. Fair-view
Hospital, 8 p.m.
Thursday, 12 February—B.W.A. All-school Valentine party in
recreation room, Edgren residence, 7:30 p.m., 25c.
Friday, 13 February—Faculty recital in college chapel, 8:30 p.m.
A lack of enthusiasm and spiritual interest of the student body
and faculty concerning the special spiritual emphasis weeks propagated
a study to be made of the two deeper life weeks and missionary em-phasis
week. The student council president, Wesley Forsline, presented
the problem before the administration, and action to probe the matter
was decided. A united faculty-student committee was appointed to in-vestigate
extensively all the ramifications involved in the interest-de-clining
spiritual emphasis weeks. Mr. Clifford Larson, assistant professor
of Religious Education, was the chairman of the committee which met
for seven sessions.
The following is a report prepared by the committee:
After extended consideration over the total problem of the pur-pose
and place of the several weeks for special emphasis that have
grown up on our campus, the committee formulated - the following recOm- - -
mendations for faculty consideration:
A Railroaded Proposal?
Denominational schools and religious organizations associated with secular schools
have for years offered a graduation banquet in the spring of the year. In large
measure such banquets are held as substitutionary events for annual graduation
proms. Such a gala evening, either a banquet or a prom, is generally considered
by the participants as the outstanding school function of the year.
Bethel, too, offers to its students a spring

My Kingdom For a Date
by Berge Hoogasian
(part three)
An amazing amount of controversy has apparently been stimulated by my
past two articles. I've been alternately "fried" and "frozen", depending upon
how hard I stepped on toes. Funiy thing, some people liked both articles..
There has been considerable speculation that I'm trying to promote or stimu-late
those situations which will dive me business in coming years as a pastor.
I hadn't thought of it that way 'before, but it sounds good. (I understand that
two fellows have already "thrown rocks"—quick results, eh?) Enough of that!
As I said in my first article—I feel that the major purpose of dating here on
campus is to promote the greater 'social integration of the sexes.
My first admonitions are to the boys—for regardless of'the anxiety of ladies
to date, our society largely demands that men make the initial move. This in-cludes
telephoning for a date, asking for it in person or baking rolls with date
requests inside and presenting them to the lady you'd like to ask out. (So help
me it's true! One of our professors got his first date with his wife this way!)
One timid fellow even asked a girl for a date by putting a note in her stadium
boots. Of course, if you use this method you'd better make sure to whom the
boots– belong.
Now on this matter of telephoning or asking for a date in person to lessen
the chances of being refused: Have a definite date planned and call at least three
or four days in advance saying you'd like to take the girl to a specific place. If
you persist in calling on the night of a given event you lead the lady to feel that:
a) You think she's available at the snap of your fingers, or
b) You've been refused by others and she's your last resort.
The girl may already have been asked, or actually have some pressing home-work
to do that night, whereas if you asked earlier she could have planned to
do her work ahead of time and reserve the night in question for "little 'ole you".
And while I'm at it, get rid of the old
idea that you have to take a girl to some

graduation banquet. The student council
last week decided to alter and descrimin-ate
the attendance to mainly Juniors and
Seniors. The name "J. S." was given to
banquet years back when Bethel was a
junior college. It has never been changed
although our college has extended its cur-riculum
to four years.
I hesitate to criticize for fear I may be
thought of as a high-school enthusiast, tra-dition
lover, or an enemy of progress. I
recognize that the so-called "J. S." banquet
is a problem or at least in the light of our
development it now presents a question.
However, I am not confident that the
newly adopted rule provides an adequate
solution. Furthermore I believed it raises
other problems such as two banquets, size
of the banquet and defining of class stand-ings
for the requirements of either.
The point of objection I would raise is
not whether a change would be a good
thing but rather the manner in which the
proposal was presented to the student body.
One might state the infamous quotation,
"a piece of demagogy," beside the council
president's January pre-class meeting lec-ture.
Its appeal raised the emotion of the
audience to a high muddled pitch.
The Freshman class, with the council
president in attendance, voted unanimously
to deprive themselves of "J. S." banquet
participation. Their motives were seeming-ly
very honorable but it would appear that
such action was the result of bigoted rea-soning
impregnated into their minds by
those desiring to ratify the recommenda-tion.
I find it difficult to understand why the
Junior class desires to add upon them-selves
the burden of expenses over the
price of the meal, when the Junior class of
last year operated their banquet, giving
graduating seniors complimentary tickets,
at no incurred loss.
If class distinction is the desired aim
of senior colleges, and we may readily
recognize that the superiority of upper
classmen does add to "school spirit," this
observer is a little irritated that after
thirty minutes of hashing the subject over
in a council meeting, a seminary student.
proposes the hasty motion that passed by
a slim majority to end the discussion of
the college banquet.
Democratic representation is the purpose
behind the ,student council. The question
to me is, how democratic is the council
and does it express representative views.
Dear Degenerate Culture:
I include this letter in the Clarion as
point of principle. I believe I shall prove
by its insertion that we do not descrimi-nate
on the basis of personal taste. Your
satire (if one should be good enough to
give it a name) is unmistakably directed
at the Sunday afternoon Twilight concerts.
If you have a personal spiritual problem
concerning your activities on the Lord's
Day I would suggest you consult a spirit.

purpose is to point out your convictions,
my suggestion would be to set up a soap

When Dr. A. J. Gordon, that almost
matchless pastor of Boston, was about to
pass "over the tide" after a marvelous
ministry, his physician and friends stood
by his side and put the question "How is
it with you, pastor, today?" The faithful
pastor replied in one word—"Victory."
The only victory that is truly real and
that will count for time and eternity is
the victory deep in the heart. "He that
ruleth his own spirit is greater than he
that taketh a ciy."
When General James
Wolfe, the hero of the
battle of Quebec, had
read Gray's great Elegy,
he closed the book and
remarked, "I would ra-ther
be the author of
that poem than the con-queror
in a great mili-tary
When Jesus stood be-fore
proud rulers and
cruel contemners, to all their taunts he
"answered not a word."
How true it is that if we are to have
peace, it must be in the heart. It is not in
stocks or bonds or any such thing. If we
are to have love and joy, we must exper-ience
that in our hearts. And then it does
not matter what outer circumstances may
be—a tent or a cottage, or seeming de-feat,
for we have something "that casteth
out fear."
Tennyson illustrates the forward march
of democracy in the lines:
"Slowly comes a hungry people
As a lion creeping nigher
One who winks and nods'
Beside a slowly dying fire."
The scene is in the jungle. The hunts-man
is almost asleep. All around in the
darkness the beasts of prey with lynx-like
eyes, are watching for the opportunity to
leap and devour. But as long as that fire
burns bright, the huntsman is safe.
And so for us. As long as the fires of
prayer and faith and love—burn bright, as
long as the Holy Spirit has right of way,
so long there will be no chance for temp-tation
or the ingrees of sin to take pos-session.
We will truly be "more than con-querors
through Him who loved us."

Dear Editor,
It gets me all bitter. The student union,
with its spacious interior and plush fur-nishings,
its staff of highly trained hash
slingers, and the excellent matrimonial
prospects I cannot kick about. But, I can
complain about the hours. I can wax elo-quent
all week long to persuade someone
to buy the coffee and when someone finally
agrees on Saturday afternoon I get faked
out. The place is closed. Not only Satur-day
afternoon but also Sunday afternoon
and between 5:00 and 9:00 on weekdays
the center is locked.
Why can't the lounge be left open even
if the cafeteria is closed? It would perhaps
further promote the cause of Berge Hooga-sian.

A good way to help your cause along
with the ladies is to try to dress well
and in taste. The necessity for cleanliness
goes without saying. Above all, try to acc
gentlemanly on campus and be friendly
with the girls—all of them! You'll be sur-prised
how much a pleasant contenance and
friendly greeting will pave the way for
possible dates in the future. Go ahead and
talk with them—they won't bite.
If you do have a date with a girl, for
goodness' sakes try to notice what she's
wearing; and if it's something nice, com-pliment
her on it. You'll rise tremendously
in her estimation.
If you're afraid you'll be "pegged" by
dating one girl too often—date others—
lots of them! Hang this business about
people calling you a cassanova! Why
shouldn't you date different girls? By
spreading your dates around you'll get to
know more people; have less chance of be-ing
placed out of the running by gossips;
you'll make lots of girls happy; and finally,
you'll find out how nice girls can be if
you give them the chance.
Lastly, after your date is over, don't
talk about it to other fellows. If you don't
have a good time it's probably partly your
own fault. In, any event, if you can't say
something good about your date, don't
say anything. (If she's something special
you won't tell any one else about her till
you are going steady anyway).
There it is men—Try it—it works!
Next issue we'll give the gals some
"pernts"—so just hold on fellers.

Dear Editor:
I have a problem. You see, I am a great lover of hillbilly music. There
seems to be something about it I just go for. In fact, I think that everyone should
appreciate hillbilly music.
Now, in the very near future, one of my favorite jamboree bands is going to
give a performance in one of the local theaters. Of course I want to go. However,
the problem is this. The only day they are going to be there happens to be on a
Sunday — Sunday afternoon. Although most of what they play is secular, they
do play and sing a few hymns, especially on Sunday.
Your advice on this matter will be appreciated. @anCEOCOZ1

This year, prospective students'
days will be held on Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 31 and April 1
at which time all prospective stu-dents
will be welcomed to visit
Bethel and use the facilities here.

in past years, attendance
will be limited to high school jun-iors
and seniors, preferably only
seniors. Anyone who has graduated
and is planning to go on to college
is also invited to attend.

This year's Founder Week marks the eleventh of such annual
events. However, the whole story of Founder's Week goes back to
the nineteen-twenties. Then each year on the birthday of John Alexis
Edgren, founder of Bethel, a group of Twin City guests were invited
to the school for an anniversary meeting in the evening. At first this
was confined to close friends and prominent leaders of the school.
Later it was opened to the public. This was always held on February
20th, Edgren's birthday.
As time went on this Founder's Day program was discontinued.
Coming in about then was an annual state minister's conference. These
meeting were usually held during the fall and lasted only two or three
days at a time. In both 1941 and 1942 these minister's meetings were
especially successful. The following year plans were executed to combine
these conferences with revived Founder's Day activity. This was the
first Founder's Week, and its success initiated the annual event each
As an attraction to visitors throughout the country, speakers of na-tion-
wide repute were invited. Dr. J. C. Massee was guest speaker at
the first Founder's Week in 1943. Since then other noted Christian
leaders have addressed the meetings. Among them were: Dr. Harry Iron-side,
Dr. Will Houghton, Dr. Wilbur Smith, Dr. Walter Wilson, Dr. W.
W. Adams, Dr. Herbert Lockyer, Dr. Clarence Roddy, Dr. Harold Lind-sell,
and Dr. Richard Ellsworth Day.

Games With Dak. Teams
Bethel Royals Leave On
Final Trip Tomorrow
Bethel gained a split—winning
two and losing two—in four con-tests
with North Dakota Colleges.
In a two week period, the Royals
encountered Mayville and Wahpe-ton
at home and Jamestown and
Valley City on the road.
Though Mayville jumped into an
early lead, the Royals quickly re-gained
composure to assume con-trol
of most of the contest. All
eleven of the players seeing action
got into the scoring column. Paul
ltedin and Bud Pierce with 14 and
13 respectively led the squad to
their fifth triumph of the season.
Running up their highest point
total of the season in both of their
games in North Dakota, the Royals
were able to win over Valley City,
79-77, while losing to Jamestown
Both games were wild contests
with hair-raising finishes. In the
Jamestown contest, Pete Unruh
and Paul Redin together hit for 52
points, to pace Bethel. However,
Unruh's 28 and Redin's 24 were
not enough as Jamestown tipped
the Royals in the last seven sec-onds
on a tip-in.
At Valley City, Redin scorched
the nets for 29 to run his total for
two nights to 53. Clarence Wood
added 20 and Unruh collected 18
to enable the Royals to register a
win. Down by nine points as the
final quarter started, Bethel ral-lied,
led by Wood and Unruh to
defeat the home team.
Displaying no qualities of pre-vious
victories, the Royals dropped
a loose, ragged game to Wahpeton.
Neither team appeared overly in-terested
in winning the contest
which ended in a 72 all deadlock.
But in the overtime period, the
North Dakotans hit a fast clip,
outscoring Bethel 11-3 to grab the
win, 83-75. Unruh finished with 16,
high for the Royals.
Too much height spelled defeat

Iowa Sets Pace
In Intramural
After reverting back to the old
program, there has been a greater
enthusiasm in Intramural Basket-ball.
Here's how the situation looks
with the scores. Iowa is in first
place and they have defeated Min-nesota,
Mich.-Wisconsin and Illin-ois
by the scores of 54-28, 35-34
and 43-34 respectively.
West, holding second place, de-feated
East 39-38 and Iowa 44-42.
East, in third place, defeated
Minnesota 44-43, Iowa 44-42 and
Illinois 44-34.
Tied for fourth place are Mich.-
Wis. and Minnesota, the former
defeated East 40-37 and West 46-
33; the latter set back Illinois 39-
38 and Mich.-Wis. 52-38.
Illinois is in the cellar without
any victories, but is a potential
threat with intramural veterans
such as Dick "Bones" Bandy and
Donald Dye.

Among the remaining 2 games,
found the J. V. losing to Edge-water
Baptist, 52-44, and the Uni-versity

The Bombers looked like a new
team last Saturday night, working
a fast break pattern and rebound-ing
better than in previous games.
John Chisholm led the scor-ing
for the Bombers with 21 points
and was followed closely by Big

David Shoehalter to be Yale's New Mark T. Young
'68 Director of Cross Country and Track and Field
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Mark Young '68, Yale's Mark T. Young '68 Director of Cross Country and Track and Field, announced on Friday that he will retire from that position at the conclusion of the upcoming cross country season. Young, who is entering his 31st season as a coach at Yale, will remain with the program coaching the women's track and field team's distance and middle distance runners through the spring. Associate head coach David Shoehalter will be Yale's new Mark T. Young '68 Director of Cross Country and Track and Field.
Young's retirement caps a career that has been marked by many significant accomplishments. Since returning to his alma mater as a coach in 1980, Young has led Yale to six Heptagonal Championships and four top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships in women's cross country. The Bulldogs have also won four ECAC titles under Young's guidance. The director position that now bears his name was endowed in his honor in 2008.
"I am extremely proud of what we have been able to accomplish here at Yale during my tenure, and would like to thank all of the individuals who have been a part of it," Young said. "We have demonstrated that student-athletes can achieve at the highest levels of their sport while simultaneously striving for academic excellence. Having worked with Dave Shoehalter for 17 years I am thrilled that he will take on the role of director when I retire, because that ensures continuity to that overall philosophy."
Young was the national Cross Country Coach of the Year in 1987, when he led Yale to a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships -- the best finish ever for an Ivy League women's team. He also earned District I Cross Country Coach of the Year honors for the third straight time that season. In track and field Young was named NCAA District I Outdoor Track Coach of the Year in 1987, when Yale won the outdoor Heptagonal Championship and finished second indoors.
In addition to those numerous team accomplishments, many individuals have been recognized for their achievements during Young's tenure. Yale has had 19 All-America selections in cross country and 17 in track and field under him.
Young's contributions to the sport have extended far beyond New Haven. He served as an assistant coach for the United States Olympic Track and Field team for the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia. In March of 1995, he was the head coach of the U.S. Women's Team at the World Indoor Championships in Barcelona, Spain. In the summer of 1999, he was an assistant coach at the World University Games in Mallorca, Spain. He held the same post in 1993 at the World University Games in Buffalo, N.Y.
In 1990, Young served as an assistant coach for the U.S. Junior National Team when it traveled to Bulgaria for the World Championships. He also served as an assistant track coach for the East Team at the 1987 U.S. Olympic Festival, and was the head coach for the same squad in 1989.
Off the track, Young chaired the NCAA Track and Field Committee from 1989-1992 and served as Co-Commissioner of the 1995 Special Olympics World Games Athletics Venue.
A 1968 Yale graduate, Young captained the Bulldogs to an outdoor Heptagonal Championship in his senior year. He won individual IC4A titles at 440 yards outdoors and 600 yards indoors, and also anchored the mile relay team to the current Yale outdoor record (3:09.6) and an IC4A championship. Young also played football for Yale.
"Throughout his time at Yale, Mark Young has been dedicated to Yale's ideals of academic and athletic excellence," said Tom Beckett, Yale's Director of Athletics. "He has been an outstanding teacher and coach, and hundreds of Yale student-athletes have benefitted from his knowledge and his passion for this university. He will be greatly missed, but we are fortunate to have associate head coach David Shoehalter in place to continue the philosophy that Coach Young helped establish here at Yale."
Shoehalter is entering his 17th season at Yale, and works primarily with the sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers. He has coached numerous Bulldogs to All-Ivy, All-East and All-American honors.
"It is an honor to have worked with Mark Young, and we all wish him well in his retirement," said Shoehalter. "We will work hard to uphold the Yale track and field tradition that he has been a part of as a student-athlete and as a coach."
A 1989 graduate of Penn with a degree in history, Shoehalter captained the Quakers as a senior and was a scorer in the hurdles and the pentathlon at the Heptagonal Championships. He earned medals in the hurdles and was a member of the 4x400 relay team for the USA in the 1989 World Maccabiah Games.

Tough Mudder is a challenge, not a race
by Bethany M. Dunbar
If obstacles with names such as the Arctic Enema and the Boa Constrictor — which involves muddy water, barbed wire, and culverts — sound like fun, then maybe the Tough Mudder is for you.
On Saturday at Mount Snow in Dover, a team from the Fortitude Fitness Systems of Derby and Lyndonville, and an individual local competitor, joined throngs of thousands to see what they were made of.
The Tough Mudder credo says it's not a race; it's a personal challenge. People are challenged to put other competitors — teammates or otherwise — ahead of a desire to complete the course in a particular time.
Still, anyone who does Tough Mudder is likely to have at least some competitive streak and is probably thinking about how long it's taking.
Tyler Gosley of Barton completed the course in four hours and ten minutes. He had done it the year before with a big team in six hours.
"It's really not a race," he said. "It's about leaving no one behind."
He said random people helped him through some of the obstacles, and he helped others. It's just part of the dynamic of the event.
Tough Mudder raises money for the Wounded Warrior Project, which Mr. Gosley said helps disabled veterans. He knows of one case where the project built a house for a veteran. It was set up with amenities that particular veteran needed.
The course goes up and down on Mount Snow. Parts of it have water, some parts have wires providing electrical shocks. The Arctic Enema is an obstacle with ice water and boards the competitors must swim under. One obstacle requires climbing hand over hand over a muddy pool of water with the use of monkey bars. Competitors must carry logs and climb curved walls, running up and down the mountainous trail in the meantime.
Mr. Gosley, who is a certified personal trainer, said he did not know how many people participated this year, but last year he heard it was 14,000 in one day. Competitors were started in waves of 600 each.
"It was awesome. The crowd, the energy was top notch. The weather — you couldn't have asked for a better day."
Kim Swett of Derby Line, a member of the Fortitude Fitness Systems team, did the Tough Mudder for the first time and wrote about her efforts in a blog: onemoosersjourney.blogspot.com.
Here is an excerpt:
Saturday morning dawned and the butterflies fluttering in my stomach ramped up the fluttering to break dancing. It got worse as I registered, had someone write my number on my forehead and my forearm, pinned on my number and approached the start. Luckily Carole had thought to tell me that before we got to the start we had to go over a wall. With help from Logan, Eric and Tyler I made it over. Hailey and Carole were waiting on the other side to remind me to lower myself with my arms before I jumped so it wouldn't be as far.
The fear let up a little at this point and I got into the spirit at the start. The MC led us through, "The Star Spangled Banner," ten seconds of silence for military personnel and then we all recited the "Mudder Pledge." Everyone was pumped up, it was infectious. Suddenly for the first time I didn't want to cry: I wanted to put my training and hard work to the test.…
It wasn't easy, and she describes her successes and attempts in some detail. In the end, she is glad she took the challenge:
We made it to the top of the mountain near a chair lift and Hailey led me through some yoga stretches, though honestly in extended child's pose I mostly hunched over and sobbed. My back hurt, I was exhausted and I was afraid I was going to fail. At that point I reminded myself where I started, I reminded myself of my training and I heard my coach's voice in my head. "Do it! You can do it! Dominate this!" echoed and I pushed back to my feet. My team believed in me, my coach believed in me: I had to believe in myself too.
I'd love to tell you the rest of the course was a breeze, that I did it with no more tears and no more moments of wanting to admit defeat and ask for a medic. That was not the case, but every time I wanted to quit, my friends were there to coax one more step.
To make a long story a little shorter: I finished Tough Mudder. I have the T-shirt and orange headband to prove it. A friend who completed Tough Mudder last year told me it was life changing. She was right. I hurt when I finished, I won't lie about that, but I felt better. I found the mental and physical stamina to go on when it would have been easier (possibly even wiser) to stop.
The little voice that belittles and berates me was silent and has been silent since a Tough Mudder volunteer put that orange headband on me. I know that voice probably is not gone for good, it will sneak back in at some point, but now I will silence it. I'm strong, I've always been strong I suppose, but I didn't believe it before now.

One and done: Truckee High principal announces resignation
TRUCKEE, Calif. — Truckee High School Principal Greg Dettinger announced his resignation today after accepting a position as principal of a high school in the Midwest for the 2013-14 school year, officials said.
Dettinger's resignation — effective the end of the 2012-13 school year in June — was announced to the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District, students and parents at 7:30 a.m., a district spokesperson said.
According to a press release issued through TTUSD's public relations firm, Switchback PR + Marketing, Dettinger "made this difficult decision based on the needs of his family and for personal reasons."
"I came to Truckee High School fully committed to the welfare of its students, staff and community," Dettinger said in a statement. "There are no second thoughts on my part regarding the extra hours I have put into supervising the curricular and co-curricular programs of this school.
"It was difficult to weigh the thought of leaving Truckee High School versus the responsibilities and obligations regarding my family."
In mid-June 2012, the TTUSD Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Dettinger as THS principal.
In a statement Friday morning, TTUSD Superintendent Robert Leri said he understands the rationale behind Dettinger's decision.
"Mr. Dettinger has had a significant impact during his short tenure, and has helped set the stage for his successor," Leri said.
According to the press release, a recruitment process for a new principal is under way.
In addition, Grant Steunenberg, the school's assistant principal, had previously announced his resignation to take a position elsewhere. The new principal, in collaboration with staff, will conduct the selection process for a new assistant principal.

2012 Bentley Continental GT
Bentley will add a 4.0-liter V8 model to the Continental GT range after it retools its coupe for the 2011 model year.
The sportier-looking GT will offer a W12 engine. The V8 hits the market as a '12 model in about 18 months.
"The V8 is our hedge against fuel-price spikes, carbon-dioxide-related legislation and uncertainty in the global supercar market," says Uli Eichhorn, Bentley's technical director.
Eichhorn says the 4.0-liter V8 is an all-new engine co-developed with Audi and is yet to appear in a production model. Bentley promises that the new V8 will be built in Britain, like the W12.
