Older folks don't lie about how they feel.
"How ya' doin'?" "Good, fine. You?"
"Good, fine."
We hear this every day, in hallways, at the Quick Shop, on the phone. "I'm doin' OK." Well, maybe not.
My experience: Younger people always say "good." Some are, of course, lying.
I was in Aultman's emergency room when a rescue squad brought in a kid who fell off a motorcycle. He was torn up from head to toe. A nurse asked him:
"How ya' doin'?"
"OK, I'm fine," he mumbled, as they wheeled him off to radiology. Liar.
Older folks don't lie. You really did not want to ask my great-aunt. She'd launch into a 45-minute exploration of her medical record since 1933, no Ex-Lax barred.
I recall with terror a grocery clerk asking her, "How are you today?"
"Terrible," my aunt reported, "been constipated for three days, and ... "
By the way, this is the same lady who asked a stock boy, "Which prune juice works fastest?" I could just die.
That's a fixation of old age I can do without. Let's just keep the bathroom in the bathroom.
It was my job to take her to the doctor. He always greeted her, "How are we today?"
"I don't know about you," she said, "but I'm terrible and ... "
Better not figure on any lunch today, doc.
Once a month, we had to go to the bank to see if her Social Security was deposited. She would use the restroom and critique it to the teller. She was hell on wheels on industrial T.P.
I got a call from her Meals on Wheels. She got into a tiff with one of its drivers who had the audacity to ask, "How ya' doin'?" He bailed out at about 1958. A lot of cold lunches that day.
I mentioned this, gently.
"Well, he asked me, didn't he?" she said.
We can leave this one for time to heal.
She was a smart woman. She was executive assistant to the guy who built the Terminal Tower in Cleveland. She went on to a similar job with the president of a big pharmaceutical firm in New York City. Knowing her, she was running those outfits on sunny days when the golf course beckoned.
It probably was the pharma stuff that got her fixated on her health. Toward the end, it was all she talked about.
At family holiday dinners, there was something about my announcing "dinner's ready" that caused her to rush off to the bathroom. We'd sit watching the gravy congeal, waiting for her. Finally, finally she'd appear.
My Dad would ask her, "Are you OK?"
I could feel the appetites storming out the front door as she launched into her latest update.
By the way, she lived to age 104. I miss her greatly but not so much on grocery days.

Texas Association of Business president Bill Hammond said the association's political action committee just voted to endorse Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst for re-election in the Republican Primary, along with attorney general candidate Dan Branch and comptroller candidate Harvey Hildebran.
The endorsement comes hours after Dewhurst faced off in an Austin forum with his three challengers, Houston Sen. Dan Patrick, Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson and Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples.
"We stuck with Dewhurst because if he had a voting record it would be an excellent one," said Hammond. "He has shown very conservative leadership. He's gotten us through the travails of budget shortfalls. He was there for tort reform. He has earned our endorsement over his time in office."

Orlando Bloom has opened up about his marriage split in a new TV interview, insisting he and model Miranda Kerr will always "be in each other's lives."
"The Lord of the Rings" star stunned fans when he confirmed reports he and the Australian beauty, who is the mother of his son, Flynn, had split, but he insists they're determined to stay close and support one another.
In a taped interview with Katie Couric, which will air on her daily show on Friday, the actor says, "We love each other, we're a family, we're gonna be in each other's lives for the rest of our lives. … There's no question that, you know, for the sake of our son and everything else, we're going to support one another and love each other as parents to Flynn."
He adds, "Life sometimes doesn't work out as we plan or as we hope for, but fortunately we're both adults. I mean, I'm 36 now, she's 30, and we're professionals, and we love and care about each other and we most of all love our son."

Hawks hold off Pacers to even series
Atlanta, GA – With Atlanta's Al Horford on the bench saddled with foul trouble in the third quarter, the Indiana Pacers charged back.
Once Horford returned, he and Josh Smith helped the Hawks stave them off.
Smith tallied a playoff career-high 29 points to go with 11 rebounds, while Horford netted 18 points in the Hawks' 102-91 win over the Pacers in Game 4 of this Eastern Conference first-round series.
Atlanta led by 17 at the break, but Horford picked up two quick fouls in the beginning stages of the third quarter and exited with four personals. The Pacers relentlessly attacked the rim for the duration of the frame, outscoring Atlanta 18-4 in the paint for the period, to whittle the halftime deficit to seven entering the fourth.
But Horford returned to pour in 10 points during the final stanza, while Smith added seven to hand Indiana its 13th straight defeat at Philips Arena and knot the set at 2-2.
"Our crowd has been unbelievable for these two (home) games," Smith said. "They've definitely played a part in our success at home. In order for us to be successful in Indiana we have to able to get off to a good start, number one and try our best to be able to control the momentum of the game for 48 minutes."
Once again the Hawks inserted Johan Petro into the starting lineup, although his availability was in question due to the birth of his child. Horford started at power forward and Smith again manned the three-spot.
Kyle Korver, the starter at small forward over the first two games of this series, nailed five 3-pointers and finished with 19 points off the bench in the triumph.
Paul George registered 21 points, 12 boards and four steals for Indiana, which will host Game 5 on Wednesday.
"We had a number of breakdowns. They got a couple on second shots which we know they're going to out for the three point line ... We weren't accountable for Korver. A lot of stuff that Korver gets from the three point line is a result of how they force you to help out on pick and rolls or the post," Indiana head coach Frank Vogel said.
A 7-0 Pacers spurt vaulted them to a 21-14 lead late in the opening frame before a 22-3 extended Hawks run that bled into the second helped them seize control of the contest.
Atlanta recorded the last eight points of the first to head into the second with a 22-21 edge.
Anthony Tolliver and Korver knocked down triples, wrapped around a Tyler Hansbrough 1-of-2 effort from the line. Tolliver nailed another trey a bit later and Smith, who had seven points during the surge, capped it by splitting a pair of foul shots to give Atlanta a 36-24 cushion with 8:39 remaining in the frame.
Korver hit on all three of his 3-point attempts in the stanza for the Hawks, who went 7-of-8 from beyond the arc and shot 60 percent (12-of-20) in the second to aid them to a 57-40 advantage entering the locker room.
Assisted by a 15-1 swing with Horford on the pine, Indiana stormed back in the third. David West began the burst with a three-point play and Ian Mahinmi concluded it with a layup to pull the Pacers within 65-61.
Atlanta had missed 13 straight shots until Devin Harris' layup with 1:34 left in the quarter upped the margin to 69-61 before entering the fourth with a 69-62 spread.
Lance Stephenson's runner got Indiana within 86-81 with 4:06 to play, but threes by Smith and Korver, sandwiched around two West free throws upped the lead to 92-83.
George then hit two free throws and drained a jumper to get Indiana within five with 1:46 on the clock. Atlanta, though, answered and salted the game away.
Horford hit a straightaway jumper and a George miss from beyond the arc led to a 3-on-1 break, which Smith finished with a right-handed slam for a 96-87 edge with 1:06 to play.
Indiana never got within less than seven the rest of the way.
Game Notes
Atlanta shot 44.6 percent (33-of-74) from the floor and 45.6 percent (11- of-24) from beyond the arc ... Indiana hasn't beaten the Hawks in Atlanta since 2006 ... Indiana held a 42-28 points in the paint edge.

The Graphene Revolution: Part 1
Daniel Smith March 12, 2013
Graphene is a special type of material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Graphene in its stable form was discovered at the University of Manchester in 2003 (coincidentally while I was there studying for my Masters degree) and resulted in Nobel Prizes in 2010 for the two researchers who discovered it. Recently, graphene has been making the mainstream news; the European Commission has pledged €1 billion (yes, that's billion with a b) to […]Read More

Water purification is the process by which chemicals, contaminants, and sediments are removed from dirty water to make it clean, and there are many processes through which this can be done. What you might not know, is that ozone molecules can be used as a means of disinfection in the purification process. "Ozonation" has been used to purify water, kill germs and bacteria in food, and even get rid of bad smells. Not only does ozonation provide clean water without […]Read More

The use of acoustic waves to manipulate suspensions of particles, such as cells, has inspired the work of many researchers, paving the way for the field of ultrasound acoustofluidics. The manipulation is achieved in many ways, including using bulk acoustic waves (BAW) and surface acoustic waves (SAW), as well as acoustic radiation forces and acoustic streaming-induced drag. The latter two combine to produce the acoustophoretic motion of the suspended particles; i.e., movement by means of sound, and the methods provide […]Read More

In a previous blog post we dealt with the reaction kinetics and modeled plug flow of a monolithic reactor in the exhaust system of a car. The goal was to determine the ideal dosage of ammonia to reduce the nitrogen oxide levels emitted into the air. After understanding the chemistry of our problem, it is now time for the second part in our "Modeling Chemical Reactions" blog series. Here, we will go through the steps of generating a 3D model […]Read More

In chemical reaction engineering, simulations are useful for investigating and optimizing a particular reaction process or system. Modeling chemical reactions helps engineers virtually understand the chemistry, optimal size and design of the system, and how it interacts with other physics that may come into play. This is the first of a series of blog posts on chemical reaction engineering, and here we will have a look at the initial stages of modeling the application: the chemical reaction kinetics.Read More

What does it take to get started using COMSOL Multiphysics? Of course, it depends on where you set the bar. However, grasping the workflow and handling the basic tools can be relatively easy to pick up. To make this process even smoother, first-time users will benefit from the recent major update of the COMSOL Multiphysics instruction manual. The book, Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics, is a valuable tool for learning COMSOL simulation software and the new version is now available for […]Read More

Cars need brakes for obvious reasons, and you don't want these to fail. Brake failure can be caused by many things, one of which is the overheating of the brake's disc. As I've said before, no engineer wants to design a product that fails, which is also true in the case of brake-disc design. Let's study a scenario of a car in panic brake mode, and find out how hot the brake discs and pads get as well as how […]Read More

Metamaterials are a new and emerging technology with vast potential to reshape our views on what is and isn't possible in this physical world of ours. Unlocking the mysteries and overcoming the obstacles associated with metamaterials would lead to a host of technological advances once thought impossible by even the most imaginative of individuals. From making computer chips smaller and faster than the most advanced current ones, to protecting structures from earthquakes, to developing imaging technology that doesn't harm tissue […]Read More

A while back, I bought a bag of marshmallows, indulged a bit, and then forgot about the opened bag for a few weeks. To my surprise, and disappointment, when my marshmallows cravings returned the top ones were rock-hard while the bottom ones were almost as soft as when I bought them. Why was this the case? By leaving the bag open, water had migrated from the marshmallows into the air.Read More

Exclusive: Bill Daley, unplugged
It is a sunny day at the White House with bright light streaming through the gauzy curtains that cover the patio doors and many windows of Bill Daley's corner office in the West Wing. And so I try to find some underlying gloom.
Daley, the White House chief of staff, will twice in the course of our hourlong interview refer to the first three years of Barack Obama's administration as "ungodly" and once as "brutal."
Story Continued Below
So do you think, I ask, that President Obama would be satisfied saying, "We did a good job, we did good stuff," and if he's a one-term president, "That's the verdict of history"?
"Nope, no, absolutely not!" Daley begins, shaking his head and then growing more outraged at the thought of a single term entering the president's mind. "I think he'd be angry! Pissed! Unhappy! Frustrated! No, if somebody said yes to that, that would be crazy."
But the polls stink.
"Considering the debacle that he came in with, the tough choices he's made and how there have been few, if any breaks, he says it himself all the time," Daley says. "He doesn't know why he's as high as 44 percent."
That is supposed to be a laugh line, but, indeed, the RealClearPolitics average of leading polls currently has Obama at 44.0 percent approval and 50.7 percent disapproval.
That is due to many factors, Daley says, and he starts reeling them off: trying to stimulate the economy; trying to save the auto industry; trying to increase the debt ceiling; passing health care legislation; fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; and dealing with Syria, North Korea, Egypt and Iran. To name a few.
"It's been a brutal three years," he says. "It's been a very, very difficult three years, an incredible three years. And we are doing all this under the overhang of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. F—k! It wasn't like all this was happening in good times."
But good times — well, better times — are possible before November 2012, Daley says. And all President Obama has to do to achieve this is make a startling end run around not just the Republicans but also the Democrats, in Congress.
All he has to do, Daley says, is operate in domestic affairs with the same speed, power and independence that he possesses in foreign and military affairs.
That's all.
"On the domestic side, both Democrats and Republicans have really made it very difficult for the president to be anything like a chief executive," Daley says. "This has led to a kind of frustration."
The president's solution? "Let's figure out what we can do [without Congress] and push the envelope on some of these things," Daley says.
Daley recognizes that there are three branches of government and the president leads only one of them, but now is the time for him to flex his muscles and show what he can do without the squabbling, ineffective — and far less popular than even he — Congress.

|Chocolate Panettone Bombe
1 x 1kg panettone
125ml Vin Santo
3 heaping tablespoons of jam
25g shelled pistachios, crushed
75g of dried sour cherries, roughly chopped (or canned or fresh cherries)
40g glacé clementines (or other glacé fruit), thinly sliced
200g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces
1 clementine orange, zested
Whipping cream, to serve
Equipment: 2 litre pudding bowl, some plastic wrap , a saucepan and a plate to sit on top of the saucepan. Take the ice-cream out of the freezer so it can soften a little while you get things ready. Line the pudding bowl with 3 layers of plastic wrap. Using a serrated knife, slice four 2cm-thick slices from the panettone, and then cut these slices in half. Line the pudding bowl with 6 of the slices of panettone in a single layer around the bowl, pushing them down so they don't overlap. As the slices meet in the centre don't be afraid to remove some of thickness of the panettone by pinching it out. Drizzle a little of the Vin Santo over the bread. Place three tablespoons of your chosen jam in a cup with a drop of hot water, and brush the jam over the panettone inside the bowl. Add 1 tub of ice-cream to the bowl, spreading it around to form a thick layer in the bottom of the pudding bowl. Sprinkle in the pistachios, cherries, and fruit. Add the other tub of ice-cream to the pudding bowl to form a last layer. You may need to work quickly so the ice-cream doesn't melt. Take the remaining slices of panettone and place them on top of the ice-cream to form a lid. Drizzle more Vin Santo over the top, and then cover the bowl tightly with cling film. Press a plate down on top of the panettone and then place the bowl in the freezer – it's best if you can leave it overnight. When you're ready to serve, put the broken chocolate pieces in a bowl and set it on top of a saucepan of simmering water, on a really low heat. Just make sure that the bowl doesn't touch the water. Leave the chocolate to melt while you unwrap the panettone bombe and carefully turn it out onto a serving dish. When the chocolate has melted, stir the zest of the clementine in and spoon the sauce over the top of the up-turned panettone bombe. Slice into generous wedges, and add some whipped cream to each portion to serve.

It was my first day at TRW in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and I had just completed the usual new-employee paper work. Although Harrisburg was my home, TRW had recruited me from the Bell Telephone Company in Philadelphia where I learned computer programming and where I worked for almost a year as a programmer. Unlike Bell Tell, the personnel department at TRW consisted of just two people -- a manager and his secretary. It was the secretary who made sure that the proper forms were completed and who asked if I wanted to stop by the IBM room on the way to my new work location.
"Sure," I said. "I would really like to see that."
TRW occupied two buildings, the plant and the administrative office, on several blocks of Cameron Street. Since the plant employed over one thousand people and the administrative office had fewer than one hundred, the personnel office was located in the plant. The lady from personnel and I walked from the plant, through the parking lot, into the office, and to the IBM room.
The room we entered was 35-40 feet long and about 20-feet wide. In the far end of the room dozens of IBM card cabinets lined the walls. Moving past the card cabinets was the machine area with TRW's unit record equipment. I saw two 082 card sorters, a 085 collator, a 548 interpreter, and one 407 Accounting Machine. At the other end of the room was the key punch department with three 026 card punch machines and two 056 card verifiers. There were two desks, one for the machine room manager and the other for the key punch supervisor. I was introduced to the manager and the supervisor, and I waved at the three key punch operators as we left the IBM room. The lady from personnel led me up the stairs to the newly designated programming office. I met my boss, the Data Processing manager, and I was shown to my desk. I was home.
After I settled in, it occurred to me that the one missing piece of machinery in the IBM room was a computer. The computer, I was told, was on its way. The IBM model 20 was on order and would be shipped within a month or two. Before it was delivered, I would use a computer at the Harrisburg IBM office to run and test any programs that I might write. First, however, I had to learn what was going on at TRW.
At the Harrisburg works, truckloads of steel were unloaded at one end of the plant and manufactured engine parts came out the other end. In between, the steel was fabricated, milled, polished, and inspected. Dozens of machines were kept busy 24 hours a day making parts for jet engines. Attached to each machine was a plastic sleeve that held ten or so IBM cards. The cards were used to record the number of the part being fabricated, the specific process, the employee number of the workman, the amount of time consumed by the job, and any polish, grease or other material that was used in the process. The completed cards were placed in a pick-up tray that was off to one side of the machine. Several times each shift, someone went through the plant, collected the cards, and delivered them to the IBM room. The cards were then used to produce cost accounting reports, an elementary bill of material, and the union payroll checks.
Had I stayed with the telephone company, I would have become a technician. Programmers at Bell Tell were so far removed from their customers, whether they were the administrators who read reports or the telephone users who paid bills that the only real job satisfaction came from the elegance of the programming solution. Since there was no face-to-face contact with the person who used the product, a programmer had to be content with the knowledge that he had used fewer instructions or performed a faster sort than had been done before. But I went to work for a company where a programmer delivered reports directly to the accounting manager who might send both the report and the programmer back to the machine room to be run again. I was to learn that at TRW one sought the practical result and not the elegant solution.
TRW's emphasis on the practical was exemplified by the plant's second-in-command and Chief Financial Officer, an old Dutchman named Jerry Voots. The plant manager called him "Jerry"and the rest of us called him "Mr. Voots". Mr. Voots spoke with a Pennsylvania Dutch accent. He counted paper clips. He kept track of how many cards were punched each week by which operator. He was convinced that the company was going in the wrong direction by replacing the bulk of its unit record equipment with a new computer. Early on, I did little to make him change his mind.
Having toured the plant and seen how a part got out the door and then followed the cards back to the IBM room, I was ready to get started. A planning meeting was arranged by my boss with the IBM SE assigned to our project. The first item on the agenda was to schedule me to be trained in the Report Program Generator (RPG) language that was used with the model 20.
"Does the model 20 have an assembler?" I asked.
"Well, yes. The model 20's assembler is a sub-set of BAL but no one uses it," the SE told me. "Everyone uses RPG."
"Not me," I told him. "I'm an assembler programmer."
My boss and our SE looked at each other. They decided that I would be given one week to write one assembler program and get it working. If I couldn't do it, then I would go to Philadelphia to learn RPG. I agreed with the arrangement and I got to work. I chose to write a program that was to take cards that were sorted by machine number within employee number, sum the hours worked by each employee on each machine, and then punch summary cards and print a totals report.

An Army combat photographer during World War II, Yale Joel joined the staff at LIFE in 1947, where he made a name for himself as the guy whose great strength was the impossible or tricky shot using unusual (and often self-invented) equipment. In a 1993 interview with John Loengard, the Bronx-born technical wizard explained how the memorable portrait above came about:
I found a small item in the New York Times about a Hungarian, Dr. Ervand Kogbetliantz. He had designed a three-dimensional chessboard and was looking for someone to play with him. I called him up and invited him to come down to the LIFE studio. . . . I spent the morning shooting pictures of him, using heavy-duty strobes to get enough light so that I could get a close-up of the chessmen in the foreground and the doctor in the rear.
[In a 1973 article on chess innovations, TIME magazine referred to Dr. Kogbetliantz as "Russian-born," while Wikipedia locates his birthplace in Armenia.—Ed.]
Asked if Kogbetliantz's game, played on an eight-tiered board with 64 pieces to a side, really worked, Joel replied:
It only worked for Dr. Kogbetliantz because he could never find anyone to play with him. He had a very astute mind mathematically. He looked at these strobe units as I kept drawing them closer to his ears, and he finally came up with a mathematical computation. He announced as I made the last adjustments, "If you bring those lights any closer than they are now, you're going to blow my brains out."

Control of mulch fire which Barrow County Emergency Services personnel battled for much of the day has been turned over to recycling center personnel.
Approximately 38,000 cubic yards of mulch has been burning since just after 7 a.m. this morning. Smoke from the blaze was visible from Hwy. 316.
Barrow County Emergency Services public information officer Lt. Scott Dakin said firefighters met with technical experts and management from the recycling center to discuss the best method of controlling a fire in such a large mulch pile. After examining all available options, the decision was made to let the Barrow Industrial Parkway recycling firm assume control.
Crews are currently working to separate the large mulch pile into smaller, more manageable piles, Dakin said.
Firefighters battled a large mulch fire at 1185 Barrow Industrial Parkway throughout the day. Cowart Recycling has now assumed control of the scene.

Unusual rain freezes classes

said Dr. Dwight Jessup,
Bethel's acting dean. "It's
really unusual" is how he

the Twin Cities area with
ice, all classes at the col-lege
were cancelled.
March 1966 was the last
time a day of school was
called off, according to
Margaret Intveld, switch-board
operator and recep-tionist.
About 6:30 a.m. that

Jessup's decision not to
hold classes. Paul Drake,
Bethel's director of auxil-uries,
heard about the
road conditions and the
fact that the city buses
would not be operating.
He decided that the Bethel
buses would not run to
Bethel's off-campus hous-ing.
At 6:45 a.m. Jeff Lind-say,
bus coordinator,was
called by Drake and told
to tell his drivers that the
buses would not be run-ning.
The morning drivers
were already at school to
drive the 7:15 buses. Drake
then called Oscar Iverson,
maintenance supervisor,
to stop the buses from
making the first run.
Drake also called the Res-ident
Directors (RDs) at
the apartments to let stu-dents
know the buses
would not be running.
Jessup notified the
switchboard at 7:15 a.m.
that classes would be can-celed
until noon. He said
that because of registra-tion
scheduled for that af-ternoon,
classes were not
immediately cancelled. At
7:30 a.m. the housing staff
was notified that morning
classes would not be held.
Jessup reported that he
could not get the announce-ment
of Bethel's closure on
WCCO radio, which
would have been the nor-mal
procedure, because
the school no longer has a
code number which is
needed for proper identifi-cation.
At about 9:30 a.m. Tom
Upton, a student bus
driver, said he would try
to drive a bus to Fountain
Terrace. He also drove a
bus to Silvercrest at 10
a.m. Upon reaching Silver-crest
he called Drake and
said that the roads were
After talking with
Drake, Jessup decided to
call off school for the day.
Due to the traveling condi-tions
the Registrar's Of-fice
did not have the peo-ple
needed to operate the
computer terminals used
for registration.
A small number of fac-ulty
and staff did make it
to school. Because of the
large number of students
living on campus the Food
Service operated all day
on a normal schedule. "We
had a small staff but they
worked extra hard," said
Wayne Erickson, manager
of Food Service. Workers
who live on campus were
called to fill in for absent
The library was also
open regular hours despite
the lack of staff other than
student workers. Some of-fices
operated with skele-ton
staffs who were able
to make it to the college by
walking or traveling on
the icy roads.

Students withdrawing
from Bethel at the end of
the fall term or interim can
apply for a refund of their
enrollment deposit fee by
completing a withdrawal
clearance form available
in the Registrar's Office.
Students leaving at these
times must complete the
process by the first day of
classes in the spring term,
Feb. 2, 1982.
Failure to apply for re-fund
and to complete the
withdrawal clearance be-fore
the deadline results in
forfeiture of the deposit.
All financial obligations
with the college must be
met before the enrollment
deposit is refunded. The
policy is described on page

People urged to take
issues less seriously
Dear Bethel,
We seem to be taking
ourselves and occurrences
around us a little too serious-ly
of late. An example that
comes to mind is the nikk-ing
during Nik Dag and
the responses that ap-peared
on the Beef Board. I
meandered over that way
after seeing many people
gathered around it. The
tension in the group was
so thick you could've cut it
with a knife. I started to
read and couldn't help but
laugh. Boy, did I ever get
icy stares and hhrumphs.
It seems they also took me
too seriously.
In another incident, I
was one of 47,215 people
at Met Stadium when the
Vikings beat the Saints
Sunday, Nov. 15. It was
the first professional foot-ball
game I had ever at-tended.
It seemed as if the
lives of some of the fans
hung on the calls of the
officials throughout the
game. I wasn't prepared to
see so many people take a
game so seriously.
One final thing I've come
Dear Editor:
The Clarion mundane?
Perhaps so but mundane
compared to what kind of
journalism? Rob Haglund
should be well aware that
newswriting requires a cer-tain
kind of style that
places more emphasis on
presenting the facts than
on entertaining the reader,
especially since Haglund
writes for the Clarion him-across
these past couple of
weeks is all the moaning
and complaining about un-fair
representation. It
bothers me to know that
there are administrators
who 'seem to think that
how the press treats them
is a reflection on them. It's
not, but how they deal
with it is. Administrators
always seem to take things
too seriously.
All these things fall
under the guise of being
serious in dealing with any
problem that seems to
exist. We all like to get our
two cents in. It makes us
feel important. We also
like to let others know
that we've had our say. I
hope and pray we will all
realize that our feeble
actions only get in the way
of God's dealings with this
world. We need to follow
Christ's example of humil-ity
and swallow our pride
so that we can show oth-ers
that we love them.
Walking in His Light,
There are other reasons
for the seemingly dull writ-ing
found in the Clarion
and a Lake Valentine tidal
wave is not among them.
In her Nov. 6 editorial,
editor Leann Kicker did
not mention the fact that
the majority of Clarion re-porters
are members of
Bethel's News and Feature
Writing class, and that it
Dear Editor:
Why have just a little
bleep here, another edit
there? Why not set up a
Censorship Office through
which all films—in fact,
all art—be considered care-fully
by experts? All films,
paintings, sculpture and
plays would have to pass
through the scrutiny of
these full-time censor-shipers.
is the first time that many
of these people have writ-ten
for a school publica-tion.
Others may have
written for . their high
school publications, but a
good high school newspap-er
is hard to find. At any
rate, these reporters are
doing their best.
If Haglund would like
to find writing that is not
straight "telling it like it
is" journalism, then I sug-gest
that he look in a pub-lication
other than the
Clarion or any other news-paper.
As for myself, the
best way to find out what
is going on at Bethel is to
read the Clarion. Besides,
would Klaudt be as ap-preciated
if the Clarion
were closer in format to
the National Lampoon?

This panel, dedicated to
Christian ideals, should con-sist
of members from vary-ing
backgrounds. One
should be from the Bible
Department, another from
the Business Department,
another from the Psychol-ogy
Department—but all
earnestly devoted to con-trolling
what the young
people of Bethel College
see. This way we are cer-tain
to have only an objec-tively
proper selection of
viewing material.
In all due respect to cre-ative
members of our com-munity,
I don't think it
would be appropriate to
have an artist on this panel
because he/she would be
biased about the arts. It is
an artist's nature to al-ways
try to be "creative"
or to find "meaning" in
things and that isn't the
The real issue here, of
course, isn't the meaning
or creativity in films (the
Film Forum takes care of
that), it's whether or not
the films are proper enter-tainmen`
A movie can be
entertaining and have no
meaning at all.
These are the kinds of
films we should be show-ing
to Bethel students. Stu-dents
need a light break
from their heavy studies.
But we must remember to
exclude any obscene
words because these serve
only to pollute the Chris-tian
mind. And how easily
these words slip into the
otherwise fun films! We
should bleep out these
words so that one can con-centrate
on the entertain-ment.
Art should be the same
way. We should get rid of
all this high-brow "ab-stract"
and heavy social-statement
art that dots the
campus everywhere and
stick it in the gallery where
only the artists will see it.
Then we can replace it
with the pretty kind of
paintings that we enjoy. A
poll should be taken as to
whether the student body
as a whole prefers sea-scape,
wildlife or clown-and-
balloon-type paint-ings.
More important, we
ought to eradicate paint-ings
done by students that
include nudity or other ob-scene
material that advo-cates
a sinful lifestyle. It's
time we stop listening to
their deceptive, intellec-tual
explanations of what
they call "art" and start
taking measures to pre-vent
the students from
even thinking about such
obscene material.
The administration
should set strict rules
about what paintings stu-dents
can paint and what
sculpture students can
sculpt. These rules should
be enforced. The existing
obscene art on campus
should be removed, and if
a student of painting or
sculpture is seen construct-ing
a questionable piece, it
should be confiscated im-mediately.
Of course we can't get
carried away with this.
We should encourage stu-dents
to make pleasant pic-ture
paintings and support
the Campus Coordinators
in finding entertaining
films. It's just this non-sense
that artists call "art"
we need to get rid of.
This should be done on-ly
by set authorities. The
Censorship Office could
set up an official eradica-tion
team who would peri-odically,
without notice,
collect the objectionable
material and take it to the
Official uniforms could
be given them so that prank-sters
wouldn't fool with

to cost much—simple

Nov. 28.
Although the Royals
were ahead for most of the
game Northwestern kept
the team on its toes. "It
was a tough game," com-mented
Coach George Pal-ke.
"I didn't know it would
be that close and exciting."
Tri-captain Jason Vel-gersdyk

well against the strong

point came after a close

If there was any doubt
as to how the Bethel
wrestling team would do
this year, it probably dis-appeared
after the first
two outings of the Royal
grapplers. In the season
opener Tuesday, Nov. 24,
the Royals knocked off the
Northland Lumberjacks
29-24. Saturday, Nov. 28,
the squad finished second
in the Golden Northern
Tournament at Superior,
Against Northland (Ash-land,
Wis.) Bethel got a
forfeit at 118 lb., a super-ior
decision (19-4) by jun-ior
captain Russ Reynolds
at 134 lb. and pins by Tim
Kemp at 158 lb., Ben Mc-
Eachern at 167 lb. and
Rick Scwab at 190 lb.
Scwab's pin sealed the vic-tory
for the Royals over an
improved Northland team.
At Superior, Wis., the
team showed that it has
potential. The tournament
was won by University of

"The best way to des-cribe
it is that it wasn't a
game we should've won
but it was a game we
could've won." Those were
the words of Head Coach
Carol Girdler in reference

Five Bethel wrestlers
placed at the tournament
including McEachern,
who won the champion-ship
at 167 lb. Reynolds at
134 lb., James Krier at 118
lb. and Kemp at 158 lb. all
finished second while Dan
Reynertson captured third
at '177 lb. McEachern up-ped
his record to 3 -0 with
a strong effort. "Ben
wrestled extremely well,"
said Bethel head coach
Dave Klostreich.
McEachern's explosive
start this year might come
as a surprise to some but
not to Coach Klostreich.
"Ben is very patient and
very coachable," he said.
"He has worked extreme-ly
hard, often staying af-ter

his own. He has also done
a lot of weight training
and now it's beginning to
pay off."

Earlier this week I learned my lesson with rice crispy treats. Even though the package says "Contains: Milk and Soy" it really goes contain gluten also. I knew a while back that rice crispy cereal has malt in it (and so doesn't the rice crispy treats) but silly me just read the "contains" area and completely didn't even look at the malt. Dumb on my part I know. I learned my lesson good…was sick for about 3-4 days. Not very pleasant.
I posted my frustration on my Creative Cooking : Gluten Free Facebook page and Krisit posted this:
"I don't eat rice krispies or corn pops for that reason since they have malt and other "gluten" ingredients. But if you want a snack "like" rice krispy treats….I use cocoa or fruity peebles (only the boxes with the Flintstones on it !!) and mix them with marshmellows and butter. They are BETTER than regular rice krispy treats!!!! The cocoa peebles one is my favorite!"
In my frustration I went to Kellogg's website and found this information:
"Which of your products is gluten- or wheat-free?
At this time, we do not offer products suitable for consumers on a gluten- or wheat-free diet. All of our products are produced in facilities that also manufacture wheat-containing products. We cannot guarantee that any products are 100% gluten- or wheat-free.
Kellogg's® Eggo™ Syrup and Kellogg's™ Fruit Flavored Snacks are formulated gluten and wheat-free and may be acceptable for consumers on restricted diets. However, these products are produced in facilities that also manufacture other products that contain wheat. Consumers have varying sensitivities to gluten, and although we follow approved standardized manufacturing practices, some consumers are so sensitive that even wheat dust that may be in the product can result in a reaction. Therefore, we do not have any products that are gluten-free.
Kellogg's® Corn Pops and Kellogg's® Rice Krispies might be suitable, depending on gluten sensitivity. Corn Pops have a very small amount of wheat starch added, and Rice Krispies have a small amount of malt flavoring, made from barley. Check with your personal physician to determine if these products are suitable for you."
I found this to be a bit contradicting: "At this time, we do not offer products suitable for consumers on a gluten- or wheat-free diet." but further on it says: "Kellogg's® Corn Pops and Kellogg's® Rice Krispies might be suitable, depending on gluten sensitivity." So either you have gluten free products or you don't. Needless to say I was a bit frustrated with them over this.
After reading the responses to my post I thought why not give Kristis suggestion a try? I went and found the simple ingredients:
Fruity Pebble Crispy Treats
1 box of the Fruity Pebbles
1 package of mini marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 cup of butter
~Melt butter over low heat,add marshmallows & stir till completely melted.
~Stir in vanilla, then cereal until well coated.
~Using lightly buttered spatula. press into buttered or tinfoil (buttered) lined 9×13″ pan. Allow mixture to cool. Cut into bars.
Thank you Kristi for a great suggestion and a gluten free alternative to Rice Crispy Treats. They were AWESOME!!!!

Picture Books
August 2017
"It is worth waking up in the morning to see what might happen."
~ from Cynthia Rylant's
Recent Releases
Time Out!
Ale Barba
"That's it! You're in Time Out." Spoken by an unseen adult in response to a skateboard crash, these words begin the lecture that makes up the text of this picture book…though the dynamic, stylized illustrations tell another story. While stuck in time out, the pig protagonist needs only a pencil and a flash of ingenuity to draw up a grand space adventure, complete with in-flight milkshakes on a rocket ship to the moon. When "time in" is called, it's unclear whether this little piggy has learned anything about skateboard safety, but young readers will have no trouble understanding the limitless possibilities of imagination.
Super Manny Stands Up!
Kelly DiPucchio; illustrated by Stephanie Graegin
Manny the raccoon has a lot of different capes to play with, and each one gives him a specific superpower. The blue cape is for fearlessness, the red cape is for strength, and so on, each cape empowering Manny to battle cloud monsters, zombie bears, and other imaginary villains (all illustrated in colorful, nonthreatening detail). Then there's the invisible cape Manny wears to school -- can it give him enough power to defy a lunchroom bully? Whether it's shared with a group or one-on-one, this "surprising and touching drama" (
Publishers Weekly
) will inspire children to find their own courage.
Mitzi Tulane, Preschool Detective in The Secret Ingredient
Lauren McLaughlin; illustrated by Debbie Ridpath Ohi
Pint-sized sleuth Mitzi is enjoying a homemade muffin when her friend Max offers a disturbing fact: that parents sometimes sneak vegetables (yuck!) into kids' food. Sure enough, Mitzi finds an unidentified and possibly healthy ingredient in the muffin, prompting the two pals launch a spirited (and funny) scientific investigation to identify the unknown ingredient. Young readers who relish the cheery cartoon illustrations and can-do attitude in this picture book mystery should be sure to check out Mitzi's first case in
Mitzi Tulane, Preschool Detective: What's That Smell?
Mama Lion Wins the Race
Jon J. Muth
All the toys in town have gathered to cheer for the contestants of the big race! In their gleaming vintage car, Mama Lion and Tigey take off alongside the Flying Pandinis, the Knitted Monkeys, and motorcycle-riding Bun Bun. Author and illustrator Jon Muth's smooth art style captures both the sweeping serenity of the countryside as well as the breathless excitement of the race. Some shady shenanigans from the Monkeys might slow Mama Lion and Tigey down, but they never lose sight of their real goal: friendship and enjoyment. After reading this winning tale, kids will agree with Mama Lion that "the world is beautiful."
Cynthia Rylant; illustrated by Brendan Wenzel
Although "life begins small," it isn't exactly a small topic, and this lavishly illustrated picture book encourages readers to consider it from differing perspectives. "Ask any animal on earth, what do you love about life?" The answer varies from animal to animal, and Cynthia Rylant's spare, lyrical text honestly addresses life's uncertainties as well as its joys. Expansive and ultimately reassuring,
will appeal to thoughtful readers of all ages, as well as those who simply want to savor the details in Caldecott Honoree Brendan Wenzel's lush, lively illustrations of wildlife.
Art Comes Alive!
It's been more than 60 years since the publication of Crockett Johnson's classic
Harold and the Purple Crayon
, but as you can tell from these picture books, the idea of art coming to life remains a perennial favorite among children.
Aaron Becker
In this epic, action-packed follow-up to the Caldecott Honor-winning
, two friends are given an urgent mission: to rescue a fantastical realm from invaders by collecting a rainbow of magic crayons. Armed with their own red and purple crayons, the girl and the boy go searching through underwater cities, ruined temples, and soaring mountains, cleverly drawing themselves out of danger at every turn. Told entirely through pictures,
proves that quick wits and "a boundless love of fun are worth all the words in the world"
). Readers looking for further wordless adventures with dreamy, intricate illustrations will enjoy the works of David Wiesner and Bill Thomson.
The White Book
Silvia Borando
A plain white wall becomes a young artist's canvas in this quirky, captivating picture book. No words are required for readers to understand that magic is at work: for each color the child rolls on to the wall, a different animal emerges. Deep pink, for instance, morphs into small birds that fly away, while green turns into a troublesome stegosaurus and purple produces a mischievous aardvark. Scribbly, minimal illustrations make careful use of color and movement, drawing the reader's eye and tempting them to guess which animal might appear next. For another, more intricately illustrated take on the interplay between animals and art, pick up Raul Colón's
The Monster Returns
Peter McCarty
Jeremy recognizes the monster's voice, even over the phone: "I'm coming back and I'm bored." Jeremy has a pen that can draw things into existence, and he's used it carefully ever since he drew (and sent away) a spiky, demanding blue monster -- the same monster who's now on his way to Jeremy's house. Whether or not they've read
Jeremy Draws a Monster
, children will sense Jeremy's apprehension about the monster's return, and will root for him as he enlists the neighborhood kids to craft an unorthodox response to his unwelcome visitor. Interested in further exploration of creativity and consequences? Try Bill Thomson's
Andrew Draws
David McPhail
If you had the power of creation, how would you use it? That's the question that kids are invited to ponder through Andrew, the dramatically coiffed hero of this picture book. Armed with a crayon and stack of paper, Andrew begins drawing nonstop, and as his artwork improves, it starts to become real. He begins by drawing gifts for his family, but as his reputation spreads, so does his altruistic ambition. With a hopeful message and warm watercolor illustrations,
Andrew Draws
is a "small, cozy book for one-on-one sharing" (
School Library Journal
Dog Loves Drawing
Louise Yates
In this sequel to
Dog Loves Books
, Dog encounters a book he doesn't quite understand: a sketchbook. When he starts drawing in the sketchbook, Dog realizes that he can step inside the world he draws, and soon he's playing games and going on train trips with hand-drawn friends. What distinguishes this picture book are the varying artistic styles on display: Dog is drawn with soft strokes, and while his art tools are depicted with pleasing precision, the drawings he produces are charmingly messy. The resulting combination is anarchic and irresistibly fun, letting young readers see that creativity -- no matter how untrained – is a worthy pursuit.

With 8.7% market share, Apple has 75% of cell phone profits
Between them, Samsung and Apple are sucking up 91% of the winnings
Asymco's Horace Dediu on Friday updated his quarterly review of mobile phone profits, and the news for everybody but Apple (AAPL) just gets worse.
As the iPhone's share of the market in terms of units shipped has grown from 3% in second quarter of 2010 to 8.7% last quarter, Apple's share of the profits has swelled from 39% to 75%.
Dediu's chart of the eight largest manufacturers above shows this most clearly.
Only five are seeing any kind of profit at all in mobile telephony. Samsung, with a 16% profit share, comes closest to Apple. Nokia (NOK), Research in Motion (RIMM), and HTC are just scraping by. Motorola (MOT), LG and Sony (SNE), which bought out Ericsson last month, are still in the red.
Remember: We're talking about all mobile phones, not just smartphones. And the entire worldwide market, not just the U.S. This doesn't bode well for the manufacturers who have hitched their wagon to Google's (GOOG) Android or Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Mobile 7.

A new society member, Sharon Swindler, has furnished us with the following query about her Wood family:
My mother was born in Quitman and was the daughter of Alonzo Church Wood, Jr. and Catherine McReynolds Wood. I think I may have met Miss Ona Wood when I was a child. I am interested in getting copies of her written history of the Wood family and ancestors. I would want to include the McReynolds and Gunstream families. This week I checked the Wood County Genealogical Society's web page and found some of Miss Ona Wood's writing about the family. Is that available to members.

Uniteam students are usually undergraduates studying Computer Science, Engineering Physics or Media Technology. In the summer, you work full-time as an Ericsson intern. For the rest of the year, while on campus, you're Ericsson Uniteam ambassadors, helping raise our profile as an employer through brand-building and events.
Why is it so exciting?
As a part of Uniteam, you'll enjoy some truly memorable experiences. During 2015, we were at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and TM Forum in Nice. Uniteam travelled to both of those events as Ericsson representatives, working as Event Staff in the reception, as well as conducting short surveys of delegates.
Why is it different?
Uniteam is a chance to connect with so many different people. You have so much opportunity to discover more about the international culture of Ericsson, and the global career paths we offer. Throughout the year, you'll meet customers, top management, account managers, business builders and event staff. You can can meet people from different parts of the company, at all different levels, experiencing our culture and then explaining it in your own words when you get back onto your campus.
What next?
Read about our current Uniteam members and their experiences, so you can see what kind of person makes a great Uniteam member. Then, if you're convinced you'd be the best person on your campus to be our Ericsson ambassador – the person who loves meeting people, hosting events and talking technology – start your application. It could be the first step in a great year!
Student profiles
Matilda Söderholm
My name is Matilda Söderholm, and I'm a member of Ericsson UniTeam at Linköping University. I'm 22 years old, and I'm a third year student at the Information Technology programme. Besides being a member of the UniTeam I'm also head of the Pub Committé at the Computer Science student organization. Furthermore I manage the corporate relations at the women's organization for computer science students named Donna. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, my favourite cuisine is the Spanish one.
Sanne Ingvarsson
Name: Sanne Ingvarsson
Education: Medical engineering at Linköpings University
Year: 3
Previous involvements: Project manager at LINK2015, a career fair for students within IT and software development
Weird fact about me: Once I worked as a cattle musterer and really enjoyed that lifestyle
Per Welander
My name is Per Welander and I'm currently studying my third year of medical engineering at the Institute of Technology at Linköpings University. Alongside of my studies I have been involved in different student organization at the university. I'm currently a part of LINK that is Linköpings largest student career fair in IT and computer technology. I have also been a part of Y6, we arranged events for the whole university but primarily for the students studying applied physics and electrical engineering.
I have always liked new challenges and to learn new things. When I get a lot of spare time I try to go skiing or surfing. I have been surfing the west coast of Sweden for 9 years, surfing the sharky waters in South Africa and the warm waters of the Caribbean! Nowadays I mainly surf the internet to learn new things and to find new challenges.
Victor Larsson
23 years young, outgoing and always trying to keep a positive attitude. Currently attending my third year at Chalmers, studying the bachelor of software engineering. I have been involved in numerous activities at my university but the one thing that I've been dedicated to the most is my participation of the business relation committee at my department, called ArmIT. It was there I first got in contact with Ericsson.
I started out working as a mentor/teacher at Ericsson, with the main aim to inspire children for the world of technology. This is something that we did in collaboration with Universuem naming it "Digital Lab". I've also done two internships at Ericsson during the summer time and also continued some of that work during the rest of the year.
Rebecka Reitmaier
My name is Rebecka Reitmaier, I'm 21 years old and grew up in Gothenburg Sweden. 2014 I began studying at the civil engineering program Information Technology at Chalmers. There I got the possibility of an extra job for Ericsson. In January 2015, I was hired to be a student mentor for Digital Lab, it is a collaboration between Ericsson and Universeum whose purpose is to teach children to program once a week.
During the summer of 2015 I got a summer internship at Ericsson where I had two tasks, one was to continue the development of a web application that would visualize how the communication worked between nodes at Ericsson. The other task was to make a series of video tutorials in Scratch (a visual programming language) to make it easier for children to learn programming.
At Chalmers I have been in the IT sections committee that arranges parties and dinners for one year. It is a committee with eight people and we host dinners for around 100 people and we also host the nightclub Gasquen. There I had the responsibility for all aspects of beverage, for example ordering and serving. I am now in the sports committee, there we arrange everything from running evenings to football for the sections members.
Alexandra Rue
Who is Alexandra? An engaged student who loves challenges. I've been involved in a total of nine different projects and events during my three years at KTH. Why? Because I love it! When working and developing with others, solving problems and facing major challenges, I learn so much about myself and how to work as a team; something that a textbook cannot give me. I receive information and experience I can benefit through my whole life. When I started college everything was new. The way of learning, the people and the fact that I moved out from my parents' house. It was a big change and so I had a hard time defining the new me and coping with my new life. But as soon as I got involved in these different projects it all cleared and that is why I keep doing it. To never stop developing, to never stop learning new things about myself and others and to never stop having fun!
Why Ericsson? Because Ericsson gives me the opportunity to challenge myself and learn. It gives me the tools I need for growing and thinking forward. It suits my field of study as well as my personality in the way that I can always turn into another direction and try new things.

Labor condition application posting notices - United States
Pursuant to Department of Labor regulation 20 CFR 655.734, Ericsson Inc. is providing notice to potentially affected workers that H-1B workers are beeing sought at the worksites listed below. All labor condition applications are avaliable for public inspection at our administrative headquarters for immigration matters located at:
6300 Legacy Drive
Plano, Texas 75024
Complaints alleging misrepresentation of material facts in the labor condition application and/or failure to comply with the terms of the labor condition application may be filed with any office of the Wage and Hour Division of the United Stated Department of Labor.
Important notice: fraudulent job offers
It has come to our attention that emails and job adverts have been created and circulated by unknown individuals for the purpose of attempting to defraud candidates.
Potential candidates should be wary of approaches that appear to be offering a job for which they have not applied, especially if personal details or money must be sent in order to proceed with the recruitment. Neither Ericsson nor any commissioned third parties recruit in this manner. Such approaches are almost certainly fraudulent attempts to gain details of identity for illegal use.
Ericsson is taking all necessary steps to investigate this matter further.

Email question of the day:
"So I take it you have no argument against marriage between two consenting adults, even if these adults are, for example, brother and sister?"
It's the question of the day because it sent me off to do a bit of research on incest in order to challenge/re-affirm my position. (Freedom won again…)
I also discovered a curious thing about Rhode Island law…they have an exception to incest laws that allows "any marriage which shall be solemnized among the Jewish people, within the degrees of affinity or consanguinity allowed by their religion".
My response to the questioner:
While I personally find the concept of marrying a sibling, etc. rather "icky", there are lots of things that I find "icky" that aren't necessarily immoral and that society has no business restricting. My aversion is something that most of us experience and it's known as the "Westermarck effect" but that's not the case for everyone.
There are certainly biological reasons to avoid inbreeding, but marriage isn't necessarily about procreation. There are also psychological issues that surround taboo relationships (both contributing psychological issues and psychological issues that result from such unions) but we have to be very careful to distinguish between issues caused by societal disdain for something (as was/is the case with inter-racial marriages) and psychological harm that is intrinsic to the relationship (a daughter raised segregated from societal influence in order to 'brainwash' an incestuous spouse).
I think there's a compelling argument that we should generally discourage incestuous marriage in order to minimize the risk of birth defects and psychological trauma, but that we are probably not justified in prohibiting those unions as a matter of law. I'm also convinced that this issue isn't compelling enough to spend much time on…as the percentage of the population interested in such a relationship is negligible.
Our ability to discern the moral evaluation of something like incestuous marriage is restricted we just don't have enough information and there are too many possible scenarios. It may be that the unions are, in and of themselves, detrimental to the couples and to society – or it may be the case that there's no significant harm. I'm not convinced that we have enough information to make any such determination, but I haven't spent any significant time studying the subject. Until such time as we have compelling evidence (and not just a visceral aversion), I'm not sure that I can support laws against such marriages but I'm in favor of discouraging it by education and investigating such relationships to ensure that we have true, informed consent.
Finally, there are a number of scenarios where people meet, fall in love and later learn that they are siblings or otherwise closely related. I'm of the opinion that it would be more immoral to prevent their marriage that to allow it…and that colors the entire spectrum of possible incestuous relationships…especially when you consider that some people get married, lead happy lives and find out about their kinship years later.
It may be the case that this is quite often a morally neutral issue along the lines of a victimless crime (a term I'm not fond of, but fits as we often criminalize things which are victimless). As a matter of personal freedom, unless someone can demonstrate clear harm, I don't see a compelling reason to disallow it.
I've since done a bit more thinking and I'll amend the above a bit…
Re-reading that, it looked like I was in favor of discouraging a loving relationship between people who happened to be related and that's not the case. The education comment was intended to address the real risks and not be a pronouncement about whom you should/shouldn't love or marry.

One of the
new renovated features of Windows Phone 8 is the audible Caller ID. But not everyone wants their Windows Phone to announce incoming calls. Sure it's a neat feature but can be annoying and not really appropriate in certain situations. But how do you disable this feature?
You might think the audible Caller ID would be found under the Speech settings as audio confirmations but it's actually under the Ease of Access settings. The Ease of Access covers settings for text size, a high contrast screen, a screen magnifier and speech for phone accessibility.
If you're not too keen on incoming calls being announced, just turn the speech for phone accessibility option off. This will disable audible Caller ID, call forwarding and speed dialing. I could see the need for separating these three features but for now, I'll use Voice Commands for speed dialing and live without Caller ID announcements.
