We go for the gusto and work together to deliver the goods. We combine hard work with happy hour, collaboration with camaraderie, and results with rewards to simplify urban living around the globe. Yes, we do whatever it takes to get things done. But we have a ton of fun doing it. And we've got a whole lotta pictures to prove it.
the zipcar commute / 8:13 am (EST)
True to our mission, nearly 22% of us bike to work (when it rains, 19%).
jumpin' right in / 9:03 am (EST)
The Zipcar experience is deceptively simple. It takes a lot of hard-working people behind the scenes to make it all happen.
workplace shenanigans / 9:41 am (EST)
And while we're hard at work, we make time for the occasional office prank (sometimes at the expense of vacationing co-workers).
rookie ride / 10:00 am (EST)
We take care of our newbies by showing them the ropes. First up? The inaugural Zipcar ride.
ticking off the to-do list / 10:19 am (GMT)
Meanwhile, in our London office, we get so much done in a week, we sometimes amaze ourselves.
adult doodling (aka whiteboarding) / 10:34 am (EST)
On any given day at any given time, we step away from all the 0s and 1s and let our right brains do the work. (We only occasionally use "whiteboarding" as a verb.)
daily development standups / 11:11 am (EST)
Our version of the 15-minute scrum, with chickens and pigs present.
ah, lunchtime / 12:08 pm (EST)
What more can we say? We like to eat.
zip-moms / 12:30 pm (EST)
Every so often, the moms at Zipcar come together and compare notes.
creating a mood / 1:07 pm (EST)
Collaboration (not to mention a slew of colorful markers and pushpins) is the cornerstone of our biggest and best ideas.
wow zone / 1:43 pm (PST)
Time to blow off steam and show some Zipcar spirit. (Electric green is totally their color.)
fun x2 / 2:27 pm (CST)
Brand ambassadors go where the fun is—fiestas, concerts, farmer's markets—to recruit new Zipcar members.
coffee break / 3:01 pm (EST)
Caffeine always seems to grease the wheels of spontaneous problem-solving.
zipcar u / 3:22 pm (EST)
Over in University, they're working hard to support campus car sharing at more than 300 universities to help students have a life off campus.
seattle strategizes / 3:35 pm (PST)
Each of our offices is as unique as the city it inhabits. We tailor our goals and strategies to our local markets and to the needs of individual communities.
IT = instant trouble / 4:13 pm (EST)
Uh oh. Blue screen of death. Stop by the helpdesk to get fixed up. (We can't guarantee they won't make fun of you.)
balancing act / 5:21 pm (PST)
We spend most of our time building the future of urban transportation. But occasionally we like to take a break. In San Francisco, we do so with giant Jenga.
prize wheel / 6:16 pm (EST)
While it may be quitting time in the office, our brand ambassadors take the Zipcar show on the road to off-site events throughout the city.
cocktails! / 7:37 pm (EST)
If you can spend all day with co-workers and still want to hang out with them, then they must be cool.

Ronald Reagan was president in 1989 when the re-organized Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce first served its members.
In the ensuing 25 years, the Chamber rode the crest of development and population growth and, of course, endured the lows that are just now in the rearview mirror. In recognition of its achievements and the individuals shaping Cape Coral's business community and to look down the road members celebrated the Cape Coral Chamber's silver anniversary, at an event Friday at the Cape Coral Yacht Club. About 150 merchants, business owners and managers shared in the tribute.
"A lot of businesses don't survive 25 years, let alone chambers of commerce," Cape Chamber President Mike Quaintance said. "So, we're very proud of the combined efforts of our volunteers, our members, and the entire Cape Coral business community."

25 years of service.
The national economic plunge was particularly difficult in southwest Florida, according to Chamber figures and anecdotal stories shared Friday. For instance, the Cape Chamber prior to 2008 listed more than 1,000 members. As the downturn persisted through 2010, Chamber membership dipped below 500, with the impact mostly in construction, housing and service industries, Quaintance said. As housing foreclosures mounted Cape Coral at one point led the nation business owners were equally impacted. The losses were spread equally across other Lee County chambers.
With a rebounding economy and revived hope through 2013, the Cape Coral Chamber is on an upward trajectory. It currently has about 700 members. And this year portends even more growth, both in the business community and in Cape Coral population figures. New resident growth is expected at 3-4 percent, which will drive business development and expand the services to Cape residents, good news for entrepreneurs like Ande Grant, the owner of Send it Sweetly, a personalized confectionery/chocolatier in the southeast Cape she started with her husband, Shane, in December 2012. Grant said the Cape Chamber, "has been awesome. They are really helpful. My husband and I are very excited about the future of Cape Coral, and southwest Florida in general."
A statesman of the Cape business community whose family opened Elmer's Supermarket in 1960, Elmer Tabor is hopeful for the future. "This (Cape) Chamber does an excellent job taking care of its own," said Tabor, one of the Cape's first residents and a former chairman of the Chamber's Board of Directors. "We have our own personality. Things are looking good."
The Chamber's silver anniversary was catered by Bubba's Roadhouse and Saloon, a Cape landmark. Its owner, Jay Johnson, said the Chamber offers programs to help merchants build and energize the surrounding community, including a thirteen-week leadership workshop that he co-chairs. "There are great strides ahead," Johnson said, "and it is because the Chamber is always moving forward."

Cyrus Veseer
Associate Professor of History
What do you teach?
I teach U.S. foreign policy since 1945, Latin American history since independence, Caribbean history since the colonial period, and 20th-century world history. I also have taught the U.S. Civil War and two topics courses, one on Cuba and one on the Dominican Republic — both were embedded study abroad courses, through which the students and I traveled to both countries during spring break. Recently, I offered another topics course based on my current research comparing slavery in the Americas to forced labor in colonial Africa.
Why do you like teaching at Bentley?
Bentley is a great place to teach for many reasons. One point that can't be overemphasized is that all our classes are small, usually under 40 students, and often more like 26. That means I can hold all my classes like seminars — it's a conversation, not just me up there, talking away. Bentley students are smart and focused, not pie-in-the-sky dreamers. They ask tough questions. It's a challenge, but I like it.
What is your teaching style?
I don't use textbooks. For example, for world history, I give students packets of documents — I call them "artifact capsules" — about important topics, and let them figure out what happened. I also have students connect the topics we are studying to current issues in the developing world by having them follow an online, English-language newspaper. Then they have to present a report on how a current issue, such as corruption or democracy, grew out of the events we have discussed. I also often have them write papers from the perspective of key historical figures, which helps students master the facts.
What advice would you offer a new Bentley student?
You can expect to get a great education both in business and in the arts and sciences, because that's what happens here. You will be taught by faculty, not graduate students, in classes small enough that the professors will learn your name. You'll find that our arts and sciences courses and faculty are as good as — or even better than — what many liberal arts colleges or larger universities offer.

Develop Powerful Unconscious Drive to Reach Your Goals
It's exciting when you first decide to pursue a new goal. But the excitement can soon fade as the hard work of pursuing your goal kicks in.
Of course we all know that nothing worthwhile comes without work, but somehow the initial compulsion to achieve a goal can be incredibly hard to recapture once the initial glow has faded.
It's the tortoise that wins the race
We live in an 'instant world'. Instant emails, text messages, food and instant fame and fortune - or so it seems when we don't see the hard work that got celebrities where they are today.
We worship speed, instant solutions, fast track lives but the people who really make it big are the ones who can see through all that. They know that dogged determination, even when it feels thankless, is the way to goal success and ambition fulfillment.
Keep your passion burning
Maybe you've been wondering whether it's even right to follow your goal if it doesn't feel as exciting now. Maybe you've started making excuses to yourself in case you fail, or you can't really recall why you were so excited in the first place.
Well hang on a moment! Remember you had good reasons to follow your goals at the time and you need to recall those reasons not just logically but with your heart and your feelings.
Stay loyal to your goals even when it feels thankless and you will get the right reward at the right time.
Expecting to be 'paid' before the job is properly done (even if it's emotional 'payment') doesn't work. Your reward will come as a by-product of being able to work hard even when there is no instant reward. That will build something valuable in you and of course you'll gain the satisfaction and other rewards from actually achieving your goals.
This hypnotic session will keep you focussed, positive, impassioned and true to your goal.

Phoenix to Sacaton Airport Shuttle
Round Trips Save You 10%
How is Your Service Different?
- Any Address - We pick you up at your home, hotel or airport.
- Better - most rides are non-stop in a nice car.
- Flexible - we pick you up on your schedule 24/7.
- Safer - we don't leave you at a bus stop and we have better drivers.
- Faster - most rides take half the time and it's just you in the vehicle.
- More Convenient - door to door and no need to arrange or pay for other companies to get home.
- Affordable - once you add it all up, it's the same price.
Our Daily Schedule
What is your daily schedule?
We pick you up on your schedule 24/7. Our professional drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home, or right on time at the airport. You get to pick the time we pick you up.
What is my pickup time at the airport?
We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after for international flights.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights.
What happens if my flight arrives early?
You can always call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early, and we will let your driver know that you are ready to be picked up. Otherwise, we will pick you up at the scheduled time on your reservation.
How soon should I make a reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents you from booking last minute, it's a good idea to make your reservation as soon as possible to make sure a driver is available and prevent any delays.
How long does it take to go from Phoenix or Sacaton?
Trips to and from Sacaton in normal traffic are about 45 minutes versus 2 hours on the bus or a shuttle with a bunch of people. Rush hour will normally add 15-45 minutes (30 minutes on the average).
What time should I be picked up?
2 hours and 15 minutes before is normally enough time. The airport recommends you to be there 2 hours early to get through security and to your plane. Boarding usually starts 30 minutes before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty minutes is normally enough time. So if the drive from Sacaton to Phoenix takes about 45 minutes, then 2 hours and 15 minutes before your flight takes off if normally good.
Our Better Drivers
Who are your drivers?
Most of our drivers have been driving professionally with the public for more than 10 years. They have excellent people skills and are usually very knowledgeable about the area (what to do, best restaurants, history and attractions). Some of our drivers are also professional tour guides that go to the Grand Canyon and many other destinations.
We have high standards for our drivers including safety, reliability and customer service. Drivers are very helpful with bags. They get the door for you. All drivers go through extensive background checks with the airport in order to pick up passengers.
We also train them by driving them through the airport, explaining all the rules, and showing them where to pick people up and drop people off.
Our Great Company
With more than 15,000 customers and a few years in business, Airport Shuttle of Phoenix owns Sacaton Shuttle, and has drivers all over the State of Arizona. Our main office is 5 minutes from PHX airport in Phoenix, AZ.

Things You Should Know
Does it make sense to take an Uber or Lyft?
Uber and Lyft drivers often cancel once they arrive at your house, because the app doesn't tell them where they are going until they arrive at your home. Usually drivers don't want to drive that far and not get paid for two hours to drive back, or they are unavailable to work for that long. This may result in you missing your flight after 2-3 of them cancel in a row, and they charge you $5 each time for the cancellation. You then try to contact Uber or Lyft over the next week to get a refund, and they don't even have a phone number.
Another thing to consider is that Uber and Lyft drivers are never interviewed, so you may get a depressed guy complaining about his life, a tiny car with no leg room or a creeper. Uber and Lyft also do not train their drivers and the airport is moderately confusing to most people, so they usually have no idea where to go.
How reliable is the Greyhound bus or an Arizona shuttle with a lot of people?
Companies that do shared rides will try to pick you up an hour or two earlier, but they make no promises about when you will actually get to the airport. If you're on a tight schedule, the shared ride option with Arizona shuttle or the Greyhound is probably not a good idea. Extra stops and scheduling with other passengers can either make you too early or potentially late. Even with great drivers, passengers can be unpredictable and end up making everyone miss their flight.
The distance between Sacaton AZ to Phoenix AZ is 37.7 miles, which is approximately a 42 minute drive. Sacaton Shuttle can take you to and from anywhere you want to go in Arizona. Call and book your reservation today!

GS Pay Scale FAQs
While we're constantly working to improve our guide to the GS Pay Scale, it can still be a confusing system. We created this page in order to answer any specific questions you might have about the Pay Scale. Since many users seem to have similar question, we'll continue to post the questions we receive here, along with the best answers we can muster.
Below is a list of questions from the forums, some with multiple answers posted.
If you don't see your salary inquiry here, be sure to post it in the GovCentral discussion forums.
● Clarification on the Ten Steps
● Non-government Work Experience
● Does Locality Affect Pay Rates?
● What is an Automatic Step Increase?
● Negotiating My Salary
Clarification on the Ten Steps
Does the fact that there are 10 steps to each grade mean that it takes 10 years to reach top pay with the federal government? Also, if one is hired at the 5/7/9 level and the position has a full performance level of GS 12/13, do you receive steps at the same time you are advanced to the next grade? – FutureCFE
Answer 1: If you are hired as a 5/7/9… You begin as a 5 after a year of work you go up for a performance review. If your boss feels you should be promoted to a 7 you will be and so on. In most cases, this promotion is done without competition "non-competitive promotion".
When you accept a new job it's important to check out the steps… The best time to take advantage of the step system is BEFORE you accept a job offer. Take this example:
"Joe, is offered a GS-12 position, he knows he needs a few steps in order to reach his current salary. Upon accepting the job, Joe negotiates a GS-12 position step 5." This way "Joe" doesn't have to wait 10 years to reach his full potential as a GS-12 and gives him and advantage if he applies to be a GS-13.
Answer 2: It takes way more than 10 years to reach salary full potential even though there are 10 steps. Steps 1-4 take a year, 5-7 take two years, and 8-10 take 3 years…
Answer 3: If you start in the government as a GS 5, you could apply for a GS 7 in one year. Then at the end of the next year you could apply for and land a GS 9. And the next year you could apply for and land a GS 11. Then one year later go for a GS 12. Next year 13. Next year 14. Next year 15.
6 years from GS 5 to 15. That would be amazing. But legally according to the rules, you could do this.
The steps within the grade are for people who stay in the same grade for a long time.
If you started as a GS 5 and stayed there, you could move to a GS 5, step 2 the next year. And the next year you would go automatically to a Step 3. This is not a fast way to get promoted.
But these moves happen without applying for a job. They just happen.
But things are changing in government and these automatic step increases will be a process in the past pretty soon.
Non-government Work Experience:
If I have a few years of experience outside the government and decide to apply for a government job, where would I start at on this scale?
I've seen some jobs I am qualified for state that equivalent experience that would be obtained at the GS-5 level is required. Does this mean that I can't apply for the GS-7 position that was posted… and if so, why is it posted as open to the public, if the public isn't working on that same scale? – Taishan
Answer 1: Starting salaries depend on the selecting officials discretion. Sometimes you can negotiate your salary within a pay grade, in some cases you can even receive recruitment bonuses, student loan repayment, and relocation expenses.
You can apply for whatever grade you think your skills qualify you for.
This may help you: Qualification Standards for General Schedule Positions, http://www.opm.gov/employ/qualifications/index.asp
Answer 2: Think of the pay scale (5, 7, 9, etc) in terms of the private sector. Many jobs will have subsets within the HR system that provides salary ranges (Accountant I, Accountant II, Lead Accountant, Accounting Supervisor I). Each level tends to have a separate set of duties and qualifications. In theory. If you read the requirements closely, they should give you and idea of what duties are expected of a grade level.
If you have any questions about how experience equates to a level, OPM publishes information or your local library might have a copy of the plum book.
Does Locality Affect Pay Rates?
I was just offered a job at GS12 level. But when I asked to confirm the advertised salary, they say the starting salary is really $5,000 less than what was advertised. They claim not to know why the computer pulled the higher amount in the job announcement. Is this kind of "error" common with federal employment? Is there any recourse for me? (F.Y.I – I have a copy of the job announcement. The Human Resource woman that I spoke with in Washington, D.C. pulled it up and said "oh…" She saw the same salary as I did. She offered no excuse, but refused at this point to hire me at the advertised salary.)-steinsview
Answer: Ask if the advertised salaries was posted for a certain "locality" since GS-Pay is adjusted to the local labor markets. E.G., San Francisco and New York City may have an 8% differential since they are high cost areas, for the same grade and step.
Learn more about Locality Pay Rates…
What is an Automatic Step Increase?
Can someone expand on the references to "automatic step increases" being history soon? – Robert4486
Answer: Some agencies, particularly the Dept. of Defense, are no longer on the GS scale. They are on a system called "pay-banding". Instead of being a GS-15 step 1 you are given a range in which your pay can be, and promotions/pay increases are determined by performance reviews.

Negotiating My Salary
I just interviewed for a position that I have a very good shot at. But how does one go about the negotiations? I put on my application that I would accept a GS-11 or 12 [the position was advertised as 9/11/12], both of which would be a pay cut for me, but I won't go below a 11 step 6. A 15% paycut is the most I can take. Because this is almost a dream job for me, I don't care about the grade. Negotiating advice needed! - Luckylou
Answer: Some say you can't negotiate but I have never heard nor experienced this. The government has put some things in place to keep up with private sector jobs. Maybe people don't know about these things. You'd have to talk with HR about your pay and steps. Be ready to defend your case if you want the pay and the job.

Spire Completed
Is Sent to Press
Editors Report Success of
"Composite Pictorial" Book
The "Spire" goes to press early
Thursday. Relieved editors will
see it off with joy. Elving Ander-son,
editor in chief, returned from
the Male Chorus trip only this
week, and missed one hectic week
of preparation.
Betty White, managing editor,
says that the 1941 Spire carries
more pictures, covers more activi-ties,
and tells more about life at
Bethel than any of its preceeding
"It has been the endeavor of the
editors to include everybody in at
least two pictures and to incor-porate
in the copy material all of
the most interesting events that
have made this year at Bethel so
enjoyable to all of us," Miss White
Students who have been asking
about the release date of the year-book
are informed that they will
receive their copies here at school
June 2.
The business staff urges all stu-dents
to cooperate in the venture
by selling or interesting alumni
and friends in the purchase of this
book which is a composite ipictoral
review of "this year at Bethel."

Tries to Evade Call
Formerly a News Man
Visits 1915 Belgium
By Martha McMillan
"I never heard a man talk so lit..
tie and yet say so much," was the
almost universal comment after
hearing Dr. John Hess McComb,
New York City pastor, now hold-ing
evangelistic meetings at the
Warrendale Presbyterian Church.
His compact, yet colorful style has
been attributed to his seven-years
experience as a journalist. While
working for the Associated Press,
it was often his job to condense
60,000 words to 10,000 words in one
He paid most of his woy through
the University of Pennsylvania by
working on the Philadelphia North
American, meanwhile preparing to
enter the School of Medicine. At
this time he had definitely decided
he did not want to be a minister.
But somehow he could not evade
the call. "Finally," he says, "I felt
like Paul — 'Woe unto me if I
preach not the Gospel.' "
He entered Princeton Theologi-cal
Seminary, still continuing his
newspaper work at night. He tells
how he would get home from work
at four o'clock on Sunday morning,
and then have to drive seventy
miles to the place where he was
to preach.
His pastorate for the last six
years has been at the Broadway
Presbyterian Church in New York
City. It is located just across the
street from Columbia University,
and a great many of the students
attend his services, forming about
one-half of his large young peo-ple's
At the question: "What do you
think of this younger generation?"
he replied that he believed the
young people of today are no more
irreligious than they have been be-fore,
but they still sadly need the
He feels, however, that their
atheism is the fault of the college
professors. "In fact," he said,
"90% of the skepticism of youth is
borrowed from old age. If left
alone, youth would be open-minded
and ready for the truth."
The former president of the New
York Stock Exchange, whose resig-nation
from a $48,000 a year posi-tion
to enter military training un-der
the draft has recently been
publicized, is a regular attendant
of Dr. McComb's church. He feels
that he is a very sincere Christian.

Oh. where is my wandering staff tonight?
I asked with tear-dimmed eye,
And all around I peered in vain
Then turned to my copy with a sigh.

The gray spider paused medita-tively
as a bell purred softly
through the dark ceilinged halls.
Another class was out. The rush
would undoubtedly start now.
Sure, enough, the flood tide of over
active young people surged from
various doors on all three floors of
the academic structure.
He sighed. Time was when a

made the change. He could hear
even now the scholarly voice of

Still, his cousin in Eton was
voicing no protest. Nor his brother

and there throughout the audience
he stared in fierce disapproval at
whispering students. Why couldn't
they have taken Carl Lundquist to

gray spider scurried down, around
the door frame and back to his
web, where he stopped again to
watch the milling mob below.
An elderly man was trying to
make his way to the office and the
small gray spider spat in disgust
and sympathy everytime someone

Loyalty is a harder test than en-thusiasm.

clear print in the backs of our

triumphal entry of our Lord into
The crowd that met Him was

He was the popular man of the

Messiah who would take over the
city and be their king. His ap-pearance
in their midst and His
manner of entry into the city
served to aid their misinterpreta-tion
of His mission.
It was a crowd that did not know
Him personally. They had heard
of His miracles and were curious.
They joined in the praise and the
demonstration upon an impulse of
the moment.
The shallowness of their mood

Doctor Finds Adventure
(Continued from page 1)
Dr. McComb was visiting in Bel-gium
at the outbreak of the pres-ent
World War, and gave us a
vivid description of some of his ex-periences
in chapel talks here. He
has been enthusiastically received
in several of the St. Paul High
School assemblies this past week.
His picturization of the Belgian
preparations for war is startling:
four inches of sand laid on attic
floors to put out dropping bombs,
sand bags in basements for make-shift
retreats, and shop windows,
instead of the latest fashions, show
the most up-to-date methods and
furnishings for an aircraft shelter!
Even though Dr. McComb is a
bachelor, he has a steady travel-ling
companion—his mother. De-spite
the fact that she is seventy
years old and partially crippled
with arthritis, she accompanies
him wherever he goes.
This trip to the West is the first
time since his seminary days that
she has not packed her bags and
boarded the train with him.
On his trip to Europe, she was
one of the livliest of the passen-gers,
rolling around the ship's deck
in her wheel-chair, and making
fast friends with everyone, includ-ing
small boys. Threatening sea-mines
and sinking vessels held no
terror for her, and she refused to
be shielded from knowledge of
Taking trips is a hobby of hers,
and it is commonplace for her to
ask her son, John, to take her on
a 200-mile week-end trip just for
the fun of it!
Dr. McComb impresses one as a
brilliant thinker and an engaging
personality. His is a mind that be-longs
to no special age, for he feels
as much at home talking with a
five-year old boy as a fifty-year old
man. Just to converse with him is
an education. He is the author of
several books.
The meetings at Warrendale
Church, which also feature the
"Gospelairs" — a radio trio, will
continue every night through this

Eight Bethelites Tour
N. W. on Easter Trip
Leaving school Monday morning,
April 14, and spending the entire
week on a twelve4hundred-mile
trip, a gospel team visiting eight
churches in Minnesota, Iowa, and
South Dakota held a series of
evangelistic services proclaiming
the Word of God and at the same
time publicising Bethel.
Members of the team were Bill
Hagstrom, director, Professor Nor-strom,
faculty member, Ethel
Tederman, Harriet Anderson, Rog-er
Youngquist, Gunnar Hoglund,
Howard Olson, and Gerald Larson.
Group Uses Slides
The program, which was very
well received and praised by all
who heard it, consisted of slides
showing glimpses of school life at
Bethel, a slide program of the life
of Christ accompanied by instru-mental
and vocal music, and a
brief evangelistic message.
The trip was financed by free-will
offerings at each of the
churches visited. More than suf-ficient
funds were received, and
the surplus will be used by the
Religious Council in its gospel
team work.
Eight Churches Visited
The following Swedish Baptist
churches were visited: Lake Sarah
Baptist church at Slayton, Minne-sota;
the Arthur, Iowa, church;
the Kiron, Iowa, church; the Sioux
City, Iowa, church; the Big
Springs, South Dakota, church; the
Alcester, South Dakota, church;
the Worthington, Minnesota,
church; and the Gibbon, Minne-sota,
Bill Hagstrom reported that a
splendid spirit of cooperation and
good will existed between the mem-bers
of the team in all that they
did and that the purposes of the
trip were fulfilled in a very satis-factory

that gathered the crowd

Today we think of loyalty as a
quality that can be exhibited only
under fire. But the real test of
Christianity is being loyal when
there is no flaming incentive.
Perhaps the only solution to this
problem would be the formulation
of a code. The code is up to each
individual. With such a code a
Christian ought to resolve definite-ly,
without fear of back sliding, "I
will place my loyalty to Christ
above all other loyalties."

The initial game of the season
was rained out in the last half of
the first inning, but it is hoped
that this was just an initiation and
that clear skies and sunshine will
help the best teams win during the
rest of the season.
Last Thursday's games were
taken by the Soph "Clucks" over
the Christian Worker "Jeeps" by
a score of 8-2. In the Frosh class
Betty Swanson's Sox overcame
Betty White's Teddies. (Poor crea-tures.

Men's gym classes also have
been organized. In the Frosh class
Herb Johnson captains the Ma-roons
which have been twice de-feated
by the Golds under Captain

The Gophers, Melvin Swanson,
captain, have won one game from
Jerry Larson's Badgers.

Twenty Five Attend
Miss'y Spring Retreat
Approximately twenty-five Beth-el
students attended the Annual
Spring Retreat held at Medicine
Lake, April 25-27.
Rev. Bernhard A. Helland, mis-sionary
to the Santals, India, and
Paul Lindell, of the World Mission
Prayer League and affiliated with
the Little Home-like Church in
Minneapolis, were the principal
The purpose of the retreat was
to promote an interdenominational
interest among the students of the
colleges, Bible Institutes, and simi-lar
The main objective was to stimu-late
a concerted interest in mis-sions,
which would encourage stu-dents
to more active participation
in their local missionary organiza-tion.

Conference Hires Publicity
Agent; Changes Eligibility
The executive committee of our
southern Minnesota conference de-cided
in a meeting held on March
29, to hire a publicity agent. He
would be asked to reside in either
the twin cities or Rochester and
would work in conjunction with the
United Press.
The committee also changed the
eligibility ruling. Next season an
athlete must carry and pass in at
least ten semester hours of college
work to be eligible for play in con-ference
Other decisions were made as
announced elsewhere on this page,
but final decision is pending on the
selection of the type of blackboard

The freshman volley ball team
was defeated by a Seminary team

out slow but managed to take the
first game 21-19 after being on the

came back to defeat the Frosh in
two straight; 21-5 and 21-11. Gene

Will Be May 10
Play Is at Concordia
Needed: Team of Four
Concordia J. C. of St. Paul has
issued an invitation to the other
schools of the Southern Minnesota
Junior College conference to take
part in an all-day tennis tourney to
be held on Saturday, May 10. Play
will begin on twelve of the , courts
at Dunning Field, St. Paul, at 9:00
A. M. and will continue through-out
the day.
Coaches from all the schools in
the conference except Worthington
signified their intention to enter
teams in the tourney. Each team
participating must consist of four
men. The winner of this contest,
the first of its kind in the history
of the league, will be awarded a
trophy symbolical of the confer-ence
Coach Adam announced a prac-tice
game at Blake, May 3. The
first match will start at nine
o'clock. The boys will engage in 3
singles matches and two doubles.
"This match will give me an op-portunity
to see the boys in ac-tion,"
said the coach, "and it will
help me pick a team for the con-ference
meet, May 10."
"Practice will be held from now
until May 9 or 10," he continued.
"We must enter four men."
B Club Orders Shirts
The members of the B club, of-ficial
lettermen's organization of
Bethel, have just ordered about
one hundred white sport shirts
from the American Sporting Goods
Co. of St. Louis, Missouri.
An Indian head emblem and the
word "Bethel" is embossed on the
front of each shirt to help adver-tise
the school. The club decided
to restrict the sale of shirts to
members only, as a mark of recog-nition
for athletic prowess and for
unending hours of practice.
Coach Adam has scheduled a
game with the Fort Snelling base-ball
team for Saturday, May 3. The
possibilities of the Fort team are
innumerable. Today the sport
pages are filled with articles about
the major league players called for
draft, and maybe the Bethel In-dians
will have a real battle.

Dick Siebert, the basketball
coach at Concordia J. C., has start-ed
to hit his stride again. Last
week Connie Mack voted him as

Bethel friends wish that he keep
up his play and make a name for
himself among the baseball immor-tals.

GIV have experienced, certified and trained technicians who have experience in the types of repairs that needs to be done. It is vital to contract a business that specializes in the type of repairs that needs to be done since someone who knows how to fix a refrigerator may not know how to get a dish washer working or how to fix other machine.

There are few things more frustrating for Reseda homeowners than air conditioning issues. If your air conditioner refuses to start in the middle of July or starts cycling on and off during a heat wave in August, then you're in for some serious discomfort at minimum.

At GIV Appliance Repair, we believe air conditioning repair must be done by most highly trained technicians, and we're committed to keeping our Reseda neighbors safe and cool throughout the year. There's no job too big or too small for our AC repair experts.
Refrigerator and Freezer Repair in Reseda
Two of the most important appliances in any home is the Refrigerator & Freezer. Every day, these appliances work by keeping your food cold enough to preserve it and keep it safe from spoilage. However, just like any other electronic appliance, they do break down. This can be very frustrating to a homeowner, and could cost considerable money in spoiled or thawed-out food. Fortunately, most common problems are relatively easy to diagnose and fix.
We service all major brands including Whirlpool, Kenmore, GE, Amana, LG, Samsung, Frigidaire, Maytag and many others. We carry parts for most major brands right on our truck to fix the most common problems. We always clean up our mess – no leftover screws or bolts left on your floor! Reseda residents can rely on our experience & our technical knowledge to get your fridge or freezer back in working order.

We provide you with a warranty for the repairs we do, so you'll have the peace of mind your clothes washer will work correctly or we'll take care of it. We rarely have to do warranty work since our highly-trained and experienced technicians know how to repair it right the first time.

Bust To Banger: Fashion Icons We Definitely Did NOT See Coming
People sure do love the suspect fashion of the rich and famous….
Celebrities We Can't Believe People Dress Like
When we saw these celebrities in the beginning of their careers, we couldn't imagine that fans would want to dress like them.
But lo and behold, it happens. These stars have become fashion icons despite the fact they dress like loonies most of the time. Still, people dress like them and they do get paid as a result so we can't knock the hustle.
Nicki Minaj – She dresses like a big booties cartoon character, but she has a million barbz trying to be her anyway.
Lil Wayne – He has a whole damn clothing line for people who want to dress like a clown. And teenagers do it, too.
Wiz Khalifa – He's trying to do the grown and high look, and the kids started doing that blonde streak too.
Kanye West – Remember when he had those dumb a$$ shades? People still bought them and couldn't see a damn thing.
Russell Westbrook – We've still seen people with funny-colored glasses and flower shirts. Some of them are wannabe athletes too.

Luke and Paula Dantuono celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary recently at Vintage Burbank during a dinner party with their three children — Carol, Michael and Luke, accompanied by his wife, Paula, and their daughter, Laura.
Deacon Rey Guiau of Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in North Hills, Calif., was in attendance to bless the marriage of Luke, 87, and Paula, 84, whose Catholic faith has been an important part of their marriage and life.
The couple met in New York right after the war and married eight months later, Luke said, on Nov. 9, 1947.
"I dated her on and off for a while, and on Memorial Day weekend she was supposed to see someone else — one of my best friends," Luke said. "I kept her busy that whole weekend. It was a dirty trick, but I couldn't help it. I guess that is when I found out I really cared for her."
The couple had their hardships in the beginning and didn't get a real vacation for the first 20 years they were married, Luke said. But when they could finally afford it, they took a cruise and really enjoyed it.
Paula has been in the hospital for a week, but when she comes home to Vintage Burbank, she asked Luke to have the chef prepare her favorite meal.
"It's a Polish meal," Luke said. "Kielbasa, sliced onions, potatoes and apples covered with sauerkraut."
And what is his secret to a long, happy marriage?
"Always saying 'yes ma'am. yes ma'am, give in to her as much as possible," Luke said.
Bell-Jeff grad announces engagement
Bellarmine-Jefferson High School graduate Ashley Nicole Ingram, of Murrieta, and Gregory Anthony Hutchinson have announced their engagement.
The couple plans to marry in San Diego in October in the rite of matrimony of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
The bride-to-be is the daughter of Jonathan and Melody Ingram of Los Angeles. After graduating from Bell-Jeff, she attended College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita where she was a member of the College Republicans. She briefly attended Cal State Northridge. She is employed as the executive director of the California Young Republican Federation.
The groom-to-be is the son of Greg and Catherine Meza of Huntington Beach. He is an infantryman with the U.S. Army and is deploying to Afghanistan in late 2012. He attended the University of Washington and grew up all over the world as the son of two Army veterans.
After the wedding, they will be dividing their time between El Paso, Texas, where Gregory is stationed, and Southern California.

It is pretty rare that a mere mortal can buy an actual MotoGP race bike, since at best machines of this caliber end up under lock & key in a museum somewhere, or at worse, in various pieces in the race department's dumpster. But available directly from Ducati Corse at RM Auction's Monaco event, lucky bidders will have a chance at buyingCasey Stoner's race-winning Ducati Desmosedici GP10 and Valentino Rossi's ill-fated Ducati Desmosedici GP11.
Offered under reserve, any potential bidder will also have to agree to a non-disclose agreement before Ducati will sign off on the purchase, but that seems like a small formality to undertake considering what is being offered. While we wouldn't mind either Desmosedici decorating the A&R office space, the real question is which bike will command the higher price? Full-credit to The Doctor, but we think that the Ducati Desmosedici GP10 "CS1" would be the better investment piece.

Ok, for all the people who know me, SIT DOWN. Also, you may want to have someone who can revive you if you faint, mainly if your username is shrekkie. I downloaded Libranet Linux and tried it out on one of my boxes....The install was very easy, I didnt read the manual or anything, and I didnt need too.
It went very well, all of my cards were found. I was pleased with the install. It looked alot like the slackware or Free BSD. After the install and configuration were done, I booted up and saw one of the coolest looking welcome screens I have ever seen.
Now, for the part that shrekkie needs to sit down for:
I took SuSE Linux 8.2 Professional off my main *NIX box and put Libranet on there, which is what I am typing this from. Now, I'm not selling out SuSE, it's still my favorite, but if Novelle ****s it up, I'll go to Debian.
Heres the specs on my main *NIX box:
HP Pavilion
Pentium 3
733MHz Processor
384 MBs RAM
Sound Blaster Live! card.
SMC EZ card 1255TX NIC
CD-RW drive
DVD-ROM drive
USB in front and back
This box has seen more versions of UNIX than Bill Gates' Nightmares.
In all, I give Libranet/Debian an 8/10 score. I love it, BUT, theres a few very monir things that could be improved. Like when I have the admin menu open, I'll click on the online update, and it will give an error. But when I do an online update from command line, it works fine.
Just a little thing liek that is keeping it from getting a 9.
SuSE is the only distro to ever get a 10 from me. But, anyway, for anyone looking for a good Distro of Linux to download and use, go for Libranet.

I live in Southern, Ohio and the Bible-Belt runs strong through the hills in our community. I frequent many city council meetings because of the corruption that has been within our tiny city for close to 50 years!
I always noticed that they opened the meetings with public prayer and ask that everyone bow their heads while somebody ask for divine understanding and reasoning to what is about to be discussed. This always did bother me and I never participated in them.
But, now! I'm sick and tired of this bug nutty batshit crazy xian views being jammed down my throat! As far as I know...I'm the only atheist in my area! I'm sure thats not true; but we will see when I go to a council meeting and demand that it be taken out of our local governments way of doing business.
Any thoughts, suggestions or avenues of attack would be appreciated! I am very new to being a born-again atheist!
Views: 203
Greets from Northern Ohio! My suggestion would be to engage the help of the Legal Department of the Freedom from Religion Foundation. They have dealt with this kind of issue multiple times and would doubtless be of considerable support in your efforts.
Do give them a shout ... and very best of luck!
Excellent reply Loren
Loren, thanks for the info with Freedom from Religion Foundation. I will most certainly contact them.
Wow! This is a HUGE situation to take on by yourself. I would feel very lonely taking a strong stand against prayer in a religious community ... kind of like setting yourself up for a lynching. That said, There are many factors going against you and that you need to armor yourself in preparation.
1. The Church community has very strong feelings about people who object to their prayers and religious beliefs; some will be quiet about the objections, others will be angry, and some will be crazy, making stupid threats, call you names, accuse you of all kinds of atrocities. If you have a thin skin and your feelings are hurt easily, you may want to reconsider.
2. Some will defend the prayers before city council meetings, even if they do not go to church, or even if they are hypocrites and scoundrels. They have no interest in religion but want everything to be the way they always do things, kind of a security blanket in a chaotic world.
3. Some will agree with you and say nothing.
4. Some will speak up in your support.
5. You can gather like minded people to be with you.
Good luck in your efforts; there are a cloud of like-minded people in the world who agree with you and you are not alone, however, being the only one making the charge can be uncomfortable.
Thank you very much for your support and your knowledge.

text: Hi Ron, Well there *is* a limit, because the handles are represented by an integer, but from a practical perspective you should never have to worry about it. I have not ever encountered this before. I wrote most of that code, so I would very much like to figure out what is happening in your case. I tend to agree that it is probably some sort of buffer overrun. We test on IA32 with gcc as our primary environment. What exactly is happening when it "bombs"? Are you getting a segfault? Is this something where you could capture a core file and get a stack trace? Are there any errors reported? Will the problem manifest itself with a single-process run? If so, you could try valgrind. Actually, while we're discussing it, why do you need "lots" of datatypes to exchange ghost cells? There might be a way to simplify that too.
