Oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico reminds us of the vulnerability confronting even the most sophisticated of production systems to extreme events. It's unlikely that any upstream oil producer and system integrator is more competent than BP in doing what it does best and in managing the associated risks. But here's a case where the firm's core competency nevertheless left it vulnerable to an industrial accident and massive financial losses, in the process creating large external costs for the environment and a significant swath of society. It's far too early to begin a forensic discussion of the BP disaster or come up with sensible solutions for the future.

Whitney Houston Allegedly Drinking a Lot Before Death, Paid Repeated Visits to Doctor
As people continue to search for explanations of why Whitney Houston died on Saturday at age 48, some are taking a second look at the singer's alleged heavy drinking and repeated visits to her doctors in the days before her death.
CNN sources claim that Houston was "partying the night before her death in the bar." Another source says the singer ordered multiple drinks on Wednesday and Thursday mornings in the lobby and pool area of the Beverly Hilton, then complained the drinks were too "watered down." The reports about Houston's drinking seem to support the story that she left a Grammy party on Thursday looking disheveled.
While everyone is entitled to have a few cocktails now and then, the discussion about Houston's drinking is relevant since the exact manner of her death is still unknown, and alcohol might have played a role, along with prescription medications she was taking. The anti-anxiety medication Xanax was found in her hotel room, but no sedatives such as Valium were present. Toxicology reports could take up to eight weeks. The coroner has declared no foul play was involved.
Star magazine is reporting that Houston visited the doctor on Feb. 2, Feb. 7, and Feb. 10, though it's not clear whether she saw the same physician each time or whether she received any prescriptions. The last of the three visits was to a throat doctor, according to 'X Factor' winner Melanie Amaro, who bumped into the 'I Will Always Love You' diva.
Houston's funeral is this Saturday in New Jersey. Though the ceremony is private, fans can stream the funeral live online.

Board Offers Sabbatical
Leave to Instructors
As part of the Faculty Advance-ment
Program of Bethel College
and Seminary, the Board of Educa-tion
voted at a meeting held at the
school on December 4, to adopt the
Sabbatical leave plan for instruct-ors.
The Board of Education, which
represents the educational depart-ment
of the Baptist General Con-ference,
met previous to their jour-ney
to Chicago, where they attend-ed
the mid-year meeting of the
vai ions boards of the Conference,
held or Friday evening, December
The Sabbatical leave plan will
allow instructors to take a year's
leave of absence after seven years,
for the purpose of futher study or
research into the particular field
in which they teach. This policy
ha6 been used profitably in many
schools, and will be in important
factor in the Faculty Advancement
Program of Bethel. As soon as
feasible, the plan will be in effect.
After the meeting at the school
on Thursday evening, the school
board left en masse for Chicago
by train. The assembly of the
various departments of the Con-ference
was held at the Addison
Street Baptist Church on Friday.
President H. C. Wingblade, Dean
C. E. Carlson, and Assistant to the
President, H. Wyman Malmsten
presented reports of the Board.
Gospel Crusade Work

The fourth regular Missionary
Band meeeting was held in the

which is to be held in the
spring. Chairman of the program
committee is Bob Mantzke; decor-ation
committee is headed by Mry-tle
Rhenberg; and Pearl Parten
and her committee will take care
of deciding the time and place for
the event. A committee was also
elected to plan the social activities
of the year. They are now planning
a sleigh-ride to take place in Janu-ary.
JUNIORS : Tentative plans are
in progress for a week-end retreat
at Camp Iduhapi January 23-25.

various fields of missionary
service, Missionary Band will em-phasize

Committee to Study
Organization Plan
Bethel's Student Council voted at
a meeting of the Council on Dec-ember
10 to undertake the res-ponsibility
of setting up the foun-dation
for organization of cultural
societies on the campus.
To carry out this end the Council
selected a committee of five stu-
% dents which will work in conjunc-tion
with three faculty members in
formulating what will be consider-ed
the best form and procedure of
organization of the societies. Stu-dent
members of this committee are
Harold Christenson, Clarence And-erson,
Rudy Forsman, Helen Hoff-man,
and Walton Johnson. Faculty
members have not been named as
yet. Harold Christenson will act as
chairman pro-tern. at the first meet-ing
of the committee.
The motion which the Council
passed stipulated "that ive as a
Council definitely undertake the
promotion of cultural development
en the campus, and that we design-ate
a committee to work together
with faculty representatives in the
formulation of over-all plans and
methods of procedure, giving this
committee power to promote their
plans in the student body."
In discussion which ensued from
the proposal of organization cultu-ral
societies at Bethel, the Council
realized that this undertaking will
result in no overnight set-up, but
that it will be a growth process
whereby it may take a few years
before the societies are well organi-zed
and functioning smoothly.
Christmas Program
Tomorrow at Four;
Film to Be Shown
Bethel's Annual Christmas Pro-gram
will be presented in the Col-lege
chapel tomorrow at 4:00 P. M.

The "66" Plan
Our Devotional Committe, concerned with
its task of encouraging the personal spiritual
habits of each student, presented a rather sur-prising
plan for daily devotions the other day.
To read the Bible each day in such a way as
to completely read it through in 66 days seems
almost unbelieveable in the student's busy
life, yet it can be done! The plan is not to read
one of the sixty-six books of The Word of
God each day, but rather to follow an outline
of reading in the Old Testament, New Test-ament,
and Psalms.
Such a plan of rapid reading of Scripture is
_recognized or its devotional merit. It will
aid those who have never read the Bible in
its entirety, or perhaps those who have read
it only once or twice, to actually read it
through completely in less than ten weeks.
The required reading for each day has several
advantages. First, there is a balanced diet
offered Second, approximately an hour or a
little longer will be required to finish each
day's assignment which in itself tends to
lengthen the devotional period to its rightful
place in a Christian student's life.
Of course it is understood that all students
cannot follow such a rigid plan, but variations
of the "66" Plan can be made to fit the per-sonal
need. However, this suggestion is offered
so that strict adherence to the plan may be
kept once it is started. "Read the Old Test-ament
passage in the morning, passage from
the Psalms during the day, and the New Test-ament
portion in the evening."
Students who begin the "66" Plan on New
Year's Day will completely read the Bible
through by Saturday, March 6, 1948.
'47 Christmas Seals
The 41st annual distribution of Christmas
Seals last week for the promotion of the fight
against TB impressed us with the fact that
Christmas is really near at hanu. I wonder
how many looked into their mailboxes and
uttered the 41st annual groan, or how many
said like me—"Ah, mail at last!" And then
whether or not they opened the envelope to
see what the. 41st annual Christmas ,seal
looked like and if they immediately ran into
the office with their quarter.
The oxen on the 1947 seal represents the
progress we have made since pioneer days
in the improvement of the methods used for
the eradication of TB. It is a reminder of early
days in Minnesota when TB was a disease
which wiped out whole families. The X-rayft
we had taken at Bethel, along with survey
of all X-ray work in Minn. this fall was
supported largely by Christmas seals. Finding
these danger spots in the spread of the disease
is an important victory in the campaign
against TB.
"Last week's CLARION carried, in this col-umn
the information that the Conference AN-NUAL
pp. 104-105 reports a cash balance for the
school dining hall of $10,419.53 for the close
of the fiscal year, April 30, 1947. This state-ment
was erroneous in that it omitted the
printed asterisk and the explanation attatched
to it. The explanation reads, 'Costs of Dining
Hall Operations for Remainder of School Year
are not included in this total.'
"In other words, since the dining hall re-ceives
its income at the opening of each
quarter, it had received all of the income for
the school year 1946-'47 prior to April 30, but
it was obliged to provide, board for the stu-dents
for a period of five weeks after that
date. With operating costs at approximately
$8,000.00 per month for the school year 1946-
'47, the five week period used up the $10,000.00
and left the dining' hall breaking just about
Business Office
By Dave Carlson
I made an interesting observation the other
day as I came into the College building shortly
before Chapel. Instead of reaching for their
mail boxes eagerly as might be expected be-cause
of the possibile "sugar reports" and
letters from home they might contain, I saw
Nels Nelson, Edgar Eklof and Clarence Larson
warily approaching their boxes as if they
might contain an atomic bomb. I inquired as
to their actions and discovered that they have
been receiving literature and free-trial samples
from several body-building companies, shall
we say. I was very amused until I found a
package slip in my mail box and, after open-ing
the package, found that same practical
joker had sent me a 7-day trial course in
"Fundamentals of Bookkeeping".
CAMPUS CHAFF: If you walk into the
Clarion office someday and see the entire
staff hanging from hooks, you will find the
explanation for such action by looking at the
sign overhead—"These hooks for the Clarion
staff"........If you pass Jim Rentz on campus
during these cold winter days and he doesn't
speak to you, don't think he is too proud. He
can't take his hands out of his pockets.
FLOP-OF-THE-WEEK DEPT This depart-ment
is occupied by the Men's Self-Gov't Ass-ociation
which conducted .a meeting with 10
interested members present. Perhaps some
inducement, such as a steak dinner, might
influence the attendance.
Christmas comes but once a year and I can
almost hear some of you say, "Thank good-ness"
as you survey your financial plight.
However, I am certain that we as Christians
'should have more reason to glorify God this
Christmas because of His coming into our
hearts an experience which the world
knows nothing about. We can look beyond the
mere commercial aspect of the event and
celebrate Christmas in our hearts every day
because of the peace that Christ, the Prince
of Peace, has put in our lives. Here's wishing
all of you the merriest of Christmases and may
the New Year be successful in every way. As
someone has said, "The future is as bright
as the promises of God" so let us make next
year a bright year in our lives as Bethel
students and Christians.
PLATFORM FOR TODAY: "Thanks be unto
God for His unspeakable gift " II Cor. 9:15.
Real ebrigtma5 fop
Our unique Christmas story begins twenty
centuries ago in a little obscure village, nestled
among the hills and valleys of Palestine. It
centers around the greatest person that ever
lived, namely Jesus, the Son of God. Unable
to fathom its depth, Paul exclaims, "And with-out
controversy great is the mystery of godli-ness:
justified in the Spirit, seen of angles preach-ed
unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world,
received up into glory." I Tim. 3:16. Inspired
by the Holy Spirit he writes: "For ye know
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
though He was rich, yet for your sakes He
became poor, that ye through His poverty
might be rich," II Cor. 8:9.
Caesar Augustus issues his decree for an
enrollment with taxation in view. As Joseph
and Mary enter the "City of David" they
quickly discover that it is filled with itiner-ant
travelers. In the time of great need they
hear the words from the Innkeeper, "NO
ROOM." Nearby they find shelter and hospit-ality
in a dingy, dirty and dark stable. IT IS
HERE that our Saviour, Jesus Christ is born.
Mary's first born is laid in a rough hewn
wooden manger and wrapped in swaddling
clothes. Heaven's King in a golden bed in a
palace? No!—a manger of a stable, wrapped
in swaddling clothes. What condescension!
Faithful, humble shepherds are on the star-lit
hillsides watching their flock by night. To
them God dispatches heavenly emissaries to
make known the fulfillment of prophetic word.
A God inspired message brings calmness to
their troubled souls. "Fear not: for I bring
you tidings of great joy, which shall be to
all people. For unto you is born this day in the
city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord." Then an anthem by the heavenly, an-gelic
throng, "Glory to God in the Highest." The
shepherds quickly hasten over the winding,
sandy paths to Bethlehem, and find it as it
had been told them. They glorify and praise
God for the things they have heard and seen.
By life and testimony, we too are to herald
forth the message of a. saving Christ—God's
message to men. Our Saviour was incarnated
at Bethlehem; crucified at Calvary and raised
from the dead; ascended into the heavens
near Bethany, and is coming in power and
great glory at Olivet, set up his new order
upon this sin-cursed and blood-stained earth.
Let us at this Christmastide faithfully retell
the great story of Christ's redeeming power to
save, and then we can say as Paul did, "Thanks
be unto God for His unspeakable gift." That is
the secret of "REAL CHRSTMAS JOY."

Indians Top Rochester in Cage Thriller 39 -38
On the Sidelines
This week we find that the basket
ball season is well under way. As
I write this, our team of Indians
have scalped two foes (even
though you might say they had
close shaves) and they are plan-ning
to continue their winning ways
against two non-conference teams
before the holidays, Northwestern
on Dec. 15th here at home, and
Superior State Teachers College on
Dec. 18th in Superior, Wisconsin.
I'm f o r getting a new job
though! With the boys insisting on
making thrillers out of every game
and the "ole Vibrator" getting tem-permental
and causing us to come
in early in the morning, this job
is no cinch!
By the way since this is the last
time you'll have to read this stuff
before Christmas, perhaps I had
better take time out to join the
goodwill club and wish yo'all a
very Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
Speaking of Christmas, I know
that none of us believe in Santa
Claus anymore, but just supposing
there was such a guy, it would be
nice if he'd drop down the 'ole
chimney of the Edgren Residence
and leave a big sack of sports
equipment for the boys. It's rather
hard on the heart to run up to the
third floor to borrow a ping pong
ball and paddles when you play in
the basement. But seeing as how
this character doesn't exist the
boys will have to run for awhile
Good news has come into the
office to the effect that two of
our home games will be played in
the Macalester College gymnas-ium,
and also that negotiations
have been re-opened with Hamline
University for the use of their
Sports Sketch
The sports personality for this
week is Roy Johnson. Roy, who
is a Sophomore this year, makes
his home in Rockford, Illiniois. He
is one of three brothers now at-tending
Roy is a graduate of the East
Rockford High School where he
participated in wrestling. While in
the Navy, as a ground crew mech-anic
in Hawaii, he managed to find
some time to play a bit of football
and basketball. With the aid of
this experience, last year Roy won
a berth on the basketball team, and
also again this year, as a forward.
This fall Roy worked out at left
halfback on the football squad,
and soon became a regular. In the
last game of the season, he had
the distinction of scoring Bethel's
first, and also third, touchdowns of
the season.
Having felt a call into the minis-try,
Roy is planning to continue
his studies at the Seminary after
he has finished his college career.
At the present his home church is
the Temple Baptist of 11.ockford.
W western Stops
Indians 45-41
Last Monday night a jubilant
Northwestern team walked off the
Bethel floor with a coveted victory
over the Indians to their credit.
It was a game of fast aggresive
play with 39 fouls called and many
more that ere overlooked. Fast, a
Northwestern guard, lived up to
his name by dropping in the first
bucket within 15 seconds of the
Start of the game. From this point
on the hard charging Northwestern
team went on to build up a score
that stood at 23-13 at the half.
After trailing by 13 points in the
third quarter, the Indians began to
"find the mark" and cut the lead
down to five points at the quarter.
Following their usual pattern the
Indians made the last quarter a
thriller. Fighting hard they man-aged
to pull up even at 41 all with
a couple minutes to play. It was
Northwestern's night, however, for
a beautiful try for a goal by Green-man,
which would have given the
Indians the lead and a chance to
stall, rolled off an_d Northwestern
found the hoops for two buckets
to win. For the Indians it as Green-man
and Peterson who led the
scoring with 16 and 13 points re-spectively.
All was not gloomy Monday
night however, for Coach Skal-beck's
"B" team on 36 to 27 over
the Fourth Baptist Church of Minn-eapolis.
Howie Peterson with 12
points, Waage with 11 points, and
Bud Johnson with 10 points proved
a scoring combination too much
for the Church leaguers. Dickenson
playing - a good defensive game
score the other four points.

Start Play
The intra-mural basketball lea-gue
got off to a good start last
Friday as our games got under
way. The first game, between
teams #1 and #2 ended in a de-cisive
24-10 victory for the latter.
High scorer for the winners, in a
game marked with many fouls, was
Bill Wright with eight points.
Quarter Scores:1st
Team #1 7
Team #2 3
The second game, between
teams #3 and #4 was a battle
of defenses. The final score found
team #4 with a slim 14-13 edge.
Although leading most of the way,
only two fine baskets, close to the
finish, by Captain Earl Grubb
saved the day and gave team #4
the victory.
Quarter Scores:1st 2nd 3rd 4th
Team #3 0

Team #4 1 8 10 14
The third game was really a
thriller with team #6 finally gett-ing
the edge over #5 by a score
21-20 score. This game, too, was
marked by fouls, but was quite a
bit faster than the others. Bob
Hails was high scorer on #6 with
ten points, and Allen Peterson
sunk the final and winning basket.

In the fourth and final game

scored twelve points for the day.

Bethel Squaws Lose
To Farm School 36-18
Last week the Bethel girls' team
playing their first game of the
season lost to the University Farm
School by the score of 36-18. The
game revealed the weakness of the
guard positions and the definite
need for practice. The forwards
played hard, but their lack of speed
handicapped them against the more
experienced Farm School, who had
the same team as last year. Doris
Richert, highest scorer sinking 12
of the 18 points, and Goldie Erick-son
are Bethel's only veteran play-ers.
As yet, the schedule of games is
not complete, but the Squaws'
second game will follow shortly
after the Christmas vacation.
Eklof Sinks Bucket
In Last 90 Seconds
Last week the Indians continued
their winning ways by defeating
Rochester J. C. 39. to 38. Trailing
throughout most of the game, the
Indians fought hard all the way
and finally pulled ahead on a goal
by Eklof with but a minute and a
half to play. For a thrill-packed
90 seconds the Indians tried to
"freeze" the ball to preserve their
los(J:t again as the game ended.
The first quarter was close with
the score being tied four or five
times and ending with the count
knotted at 13 - all. The Yellow-jackets
pulled away in the second
quarter on some sharp shooting
from beyond the free throw circle.
The score at the half was 24-19 for
Rochester. In the third quarter the
Yellow-jackets held on to their lead
until the closing minutes when a
bucket by Peterson and two char-ity
tosses by Borgeson brought
the count to 33-32. The last quart-er
was the kind that you just can't
put in words. Superb fighting spirit
and a long, sweeping hook shot by
Eklof turned defeat into victory.
At a glance: Greenman again led
the scoring with 11 points; team-work
much improved, especially
on defense; every player giving
his best.
The "B' squad put up a good
fight but did not fare so well as
the varsity. At a great height dis-advantage
the Indians could not
rebound well and lost by a 32 to
24 score. Waage led the Indians'
scoring with 7 points.

New Years Eve is less than a
month off. I suppose that you are
going to spend a nice quiet evening
at home in an easy chair reading
a history book or studying zool-ogy.
About ten o'clock I suppose
that you'll start yawning so you'll
go out to the kitchen and fix your-self
a cup of black coffee to keep
you awake until twelve so that
you can hear the whistles and
horns. Maybe if you're a poor
Swede and you don't like coffee
you'll go to bed, but you'll set the
alarm for 11:45 so you can get up
before midnight.
If you aren't going to spend a

Product Highlights
This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable.
The Formatt 3 x 3" 85 Color Conversion Filter will produce natural colors when shooting with tungsten film outdoors.
What do you do when you must take some photos outdoors and all you have left is tungsten film? Using tungsten film in daylight will produce a bluish cast in the photograph. The 85 series of filters will "bring back", i.e. color balance the tones in your images. These yellow filters are used to correct differences in color temperature between the recording medium (film/video) and the light source.
It should be noted that an 85 filter produces slightly cooler results than an 85B (with tungsten film in daylight) whereas an 85B converts tungsten film to daylight. The 85C produces the coolest results - more than either the 85 or 85B. However, it is interesting to remember that an 85C is also useful as a creative warming filter with daylight film in daylight.
Note: Whereas the 85 series is used for tungsten film under daylight conditions, use the 80 series of filters when using daylight film under tungsten lighting

Obtain the widest color gamut available! Nothing optimizes the power of your digital camera like the ColorChecker® Digital SG (semi-gloss). It's the original ColorChecker target, enhanced for digital photography. Ideal for photographers.
Part # MSDCCSG
Specifically designed to meet the needs of digital photographers, the Digital ColorChecker® SG target includes the highest quality color reference standards available. Each of the 140 patches was chosen for its location in color space to expand the color gamut, so you can create profiles that capture the full capabilities of your digital camera and scanner.
The ColorChecker Digital SG target includes the colors from the standard ColorChecker target, many of which represent natural objects, such as human skin tone, foliage and blue sky. Additional skin-tone reference colors deliver greater accuracy and consistency over a wide variety of skin tones, and gray scale steps provide accurate control of camera balance to maintain a neutral aspect, regardless of light source. Digital ColorChecker SG can also be used to create a white balance with your digital camera to guarantee precise, uniform, neutral white under any lighting condition.
ColorChecker Digital SG provides the same great value as the ColorChecker Classic to compare digital reproductions to real life scenes or test targets. The ColorChecker Digital SG takes a step beyond the traditional ColorChecker by representing a larger gamut and providing greater refinement of individual colors. Simply include ColorChecker Digital SG in your first photo if you're shooting JPEG or traditional, or any photo in the series if you're shooting Raw. Later, in the studio, use it to compare, measure and analyze differences in color reproduction in any color rendition system. This objective standard will help you avoid costly mistakes and trial-and-error color correction after the fact.
The ColorChecker Digital SG can be used for a variety of applications, including:
Number of Colors: 140
Description of Colors: Includes 24 patches from original ColorChecker, 17 step gray scale and 14 unique skin tone colors
Size: 8.25 x 11 in. (21.59 x 27.94 cm)
Shipping Weight: 2 lbs
Color Control and Creativity for Photography – from Capture to Edit
Reduce your image processing time and improve quality control in your Raw or JPEG workflow with the powerful color capabilities of the ColorChecker Passport Photo. Quickly and easily capture accurate color, instantly enhance portraits and landscapes, and maintain color control and consistency from capture to edit. Ideal for photographers.
The ColorChecker Classic target is designed to deliver true-to-life color reproduction so photographers and filmmakers can predict and control how color will look under any illumination. Each of the 24 colors represents the actual color of natural objects and reflects light just like its real-world counterpart.
Ideal for photographers and filmmakers.
The 3-step ColorChecker® Grayscale target lets you balance your images or video footage, allows you to align the exposure and contrast of cameras you may be matching, plus simplifies the task of balancing your studio lighting.
A white, gray and black target all on a single card make color adjustments and grading faster and easier with your photo processing or video editing software. Ideal for photographers and filmmakers.
Ensure your digital camera's Raw photo image or video footage accurately portrays real life. The ColorChecker® Gray Balance target will help you obtain instant gray balance, evaluate studio lighting and make quick color adjustments. Ideal for photographers and filmmakers.

Pioneer Venus 1
Goals: The Pioneer Venus project called for two spacecraft to explore the atmosphere and surface of Venus. Pioneer Venus 1 was designed to make a radar map of Venus's surface during an eight month mission. Its twin, Pioneer Venus 2, also carried atmospheric probes.
Accomplishments: During a 14-year orbit of Venus, Pioneer Venus 1 used radar to map the surface at a resolution of 75 km (47 miles). It found the planet to be generally smoother than Earth, though with a mountain higher than Mt. Everest and a chasm deeper than the Grand Canyon. The orbiter also found Venus to be more spherical than Earth, consistent with the planet's much slower rotation rate (one Venus day equals 243 Earth days). It confirmed that Venus has little, if any, magnetic field and found the clouds to consist mainly of sulfuric acid. Measurements of this chemical's decline in the atmosphere over the course of the mission suggested that the spacecraft arrived soon after a large volcanic eruption, which may also account for the prodigious lightning it observed.

The Mast Farm dates from the late 1700s, when Joseph Mast traveled to the mountains from Randolph County, North Carolina, where he was born in 1764. His father John had settled there after emigrating from Switzerland via Pennsylvania. Joseph is said to have traded his rifle, his dog, and a pair of leggings for 1000 acres of fertile Watauga River Valley land. The first house, a two-room log cabin, was built between 1810 and 1812 and remains today as the oldest inhabitable log cabin in North Carolina. This cabin is the center of The Mast Farm Inn & Restaurant. It is called the Loom House because Aunt Josie Mast turned that original log cabin into a loom house and became celebrated for her coverlets, rugs, and handbags. Some of her coverlets are in the Smithsonian today. The Mast Farm Inn is a unique and eclectic collection of farm buildings, workshops, cottages, and cabins added between 1810 and 2004 and designed to receive guest in the greatest comfort possible while retaining the historical character of the buildings. It offers a wide and varied selection of lodging environments for different requirements and tastes. Each room, cottage and cabin has its particular features, benefits and character. Much like no two people are alike, no two rooms are alike. The Loom House is unique and a favorite of guests, photographers, artists, children, and passersby. It is the soul of The Mast Farm Inn.
"Allie Josephine Mast was a skilled weaver, active churchwoman, gracious hostess, devoted wife and mother who lived with her husband on his family farm in Valle Crucis, North Carolina. Beyond her personal virtues, Josephine's most noteworthy accomplishment was her hand weaving. Her woven items reflect Josephine Mast's ability to spin, weave, and understand pattern drafting. Money from the sale of her weaving supplemented the family income, and brought Josie local fame and national renown." ~ Kathleen Curtis Wilson
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson chose Josephine Mast to weave a giant rug for the "Blue Mountain Room" at The White House. The Blue Mountain Room served as President Woodrow Wilson's bedroom while he was president. Josephine wove continually from the 1880s to the early 1930s, using patterns and weaving techniques typical of other nineteenth and early twentieth century Appalachian handweavers. "Aunt Josie was a remarkable woman in any time or place. A slender, vigorous, gray-haired little figure filled with energy and warmth, she ran her part of the farm – the vegetable garden, the dairy and the house, with its dozen or so paying guests – with almost careless competence. She mothered the people of the countryside, who were forever coming to her with their troubles, which ranged from ailments, which she treated with herb remedies, and hunger, which she fed with baskets of food, to questions about the directions of their lives or the resolution of family conflicts. In her spare time she relaxed by going into the loom house and weaving." ~ David Yates
Guest Reviews
"Unique" • "What makes the quintessential innkeeper? Maybe it's that every effort to ensure a wonderful guest experience is made with thoughtful attention to detail. Perhaps it's at dinner as Sandra wends her way among the beautifully appointed tables to speak with each and every guest as if greeting old friends. Maybe it's the charming Frenchness of it all, the way she, her mother Marie-Henriette and sister Danielle interact with staff, guests and each other, like part of a very special family. We feel lucky to be a part of it."
"Outstanding Hospitality" • "I had a wonderful time. The inn was beautiful, the food was great, and we love the Valle Crucis area, but what really made the trip special was your family's hospitality. We appreciate the time you took to make our weekend unique. I have already recommended the Mast Farm Inn to several of my friends and co-workers, and S. and I hope to be back very soon ourselves. Please get in touch when you're in Raleigh – we look forward to hearing from you again. Have a wonderful week!"
"A Wonderful Experience" • "Dear Family Owners of the Mast Farm Inn: Thank you so much for accommodating our early 7am departure, the fresh fruit and egg sandwiches got us to our destination without a fast food stop. We also very much enjoyed our fine dinner the night before (Pecan Encrusted Trout and the Squash Soup especially). The Miss Allie room was perfect for just the two of us, for we slept well on the fine mattress on the antique bed listening to the rain. Of course, walking the road down to the river and exploring the back yard and out-buildings (and swinging on the front porch) was a good way to work up an appetite for dinner. Especially friendly were your two daughters and son-in-law, who even helped us connect our e-mail. We will certainly recommend your inn to our friends and family, and we look forward to visiting again. The experience was certainly Tres Bon!"

Bradley Cooper and Suki Waterhouse in Hawaii | Pictures
Bradley Cooper and Suki Waterhouse Hit the Beach in Hawaii
Bradley Cooper and Suki Waterhouse Hit the Beach in Hawaii
Bradley Cooper and girlfriend Suki Waterhouse cozied up in the ocean together while in Hawaii on Sunday. A shirtless Bradley sported some goggles while enjoying the waves, and Suki wore a tank top over her bikini. It isn't the first time the cute couple have enjoyed an island escape together — in July, Bradley and Suki took a quick trip to Hawaii to soak up some sun, and earlier this month, Bradley visited the state solo, going shirtless while lying out in the sand. The adorable jet-setters also brought their romance to the City of Light in August, cuddling in a Paris park while reading from a copy of Lolita together.
The pair's Hawaii trip is linked to Bradley's upcoming project with Cameron Crowe, as he was also spotted on set. The film, which was previously called Deep Tiki, was originally supposed to start production in 2008 with Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon in the starring roles. After both actors bowed out due to scheduling conflicts, the film was put on hold until Bradley and Emma Stone signed on last year.

Demi Moore Signs On to Play Gloria Steinem in Linda Lovelace Biopic
Just because Demi Moore sometimes posts bikini photos of herself on her Twitter account doesn't mean she can't also be a feminist. In fact, she's just signed on to play one of the most famous feminists in the world: Gloria Steinem.
Moore, 49, has joined the cast of 'Lovelace,' an independent drama about the life of 'Deep Throat' porn star Linda Lovelace. In the film, she'll play Steinem, the 1970s icon and Ms. magazine founder who published an article claiming Lovelace was forced into a life of porn by her husband — sometimes at gunpoint.
'Lovelace' also stars Amanda Seyfried as the title character, Peter Sarsgaard as her husband Chuck Traynor, and James Franco as Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.
This is not to be confused with the other upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic, 'Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story,' starring Malin Ackerman (who filled in when Lindsay Lohan dropped out), Matt Dillon and adult-film-star turned-children's-book-reader Sasha Grey. Two Linda Lovelace biopics? This is 'Deep Impact' Vs. 'Asteroid' all over again.

A final time trial that gives a nod to Francesco Moser's Giro-winning time trial performance into Verona in 1984, when runner-up Laurent Fignon maintained a race helicopter had 'blown' the Italian to victory. The 1999 and 2004 World Road Race Championships took place on this course, although in the reverse direction. It was won on both occasions by Spain's Oscar Freire. The course includes the 5km climb of the Torricelle and finishes in the Roman arena in the heart of Verona.
Procycling's favourite to win:
Denied by Cervélo's Ignatas Konovalovas by just a second on a flat TT in Rome last year, Bradley Wiggins will be a strong bet on this more testing course after three weeks of brutally hard racing. Although unlikely to be in the overall running, the Team Sky leader will relish this test with just five weeks to go before the Tour de France.
Pinotti says:
"The Torricelle is a well-known climb in Italian cycling. This isn't an easy final time-trial, and it isn't one for the specialists. I can't see the pink jersey changing hands if there are any more than 30 seconds between first and second. This stage is above all a gauge of condition, so a guy who has been superior in the mountains will probably be superior here."

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of manufacturer Kimball International (NASDAQ:KBAL) fell 14% today after releasing earnings.
So what: During the fiscal second quarter, revenue fell 1% to $295 million and net income rose 31% to $4.2 million, or $0.11 per share. The increase in income is positive, but analysts were expecting $0.15 per share in earnings, so they missed the bar Wall Street set.
Now what: To me, the drop in revenue is far more concerning than the earnings numbers. Investors should be keeping a close eye on deteriorating performance in the manufacturing sector, and that's exactly what is happening at Kimball. I don't see a reason to pay 15 times forward earnings estimates after revenue fell and profits came in below expectations this quarter. I need to see a much more impressive earnings report to get excited about this stock.

Brookstone recently introduced its new Big Blue Media Tower, the third entry in a line of Bluetooth-enabled speakers. It's described as a 38-inch tall vertical sound bar and supports streaming from phones, tablets, computers, and any other Bluetooth devices you might possess. Despite its focus on wireless technology, however, the Big Blue includes a analog audio inputs, an auxiliary output jack and a digital optical audio input. Brookstone has even tossed in a six-foot optical cable as well.
The new kid on Brookstone's block features dual 1.5-inch tweeters and 3-inch mid-range drivers. The tower also houses a ported, 30-watt powered subwoofer. Brookstone has designed Big Blue's speakers so that they are aimed at different angles, a move which is said to produce an omnipresent sound. We saw speaker orientation make a difference with Boston Acoustics' MC200air, and if the tower can produce a similarly immersive sound, we'd be excited to check it out.
The Big Blue Media Tower will be available online and in Brookstone stores on December 5th and is set to retail for $400

As we wrote last week, the job market for young people is so dismal that only half of college graduates since 2006 currently have full time jobs. With those odds, many choose to go back to school.
Graduate school enrollment is expected to increase 30% to 3.7 million over the next four years, according to estimates by private equity firm Education Dynamics and Aslanian Market Research. "It's a direct result of the economy," says Paul T. Conway, president of Generation Opportunity, a non-profit think-tank based in Arlington, Va. "Young people are trying to the best of their ability to invest in themselves."
The rise in grad school enrollment since the recession is adding to the already high levels of student debt. Those who attended graduate school since 2006 owe 33% more debt — an average of $30,000 — than those who only have an undergraduate degree, according to research by Rutgers University's John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development. And only 13% of those students have been able to pay off that debt in full, says Carl Van Horn, professor at the center.
Still, many graduate students say taking on those big debt loads is worth it – noting that the four-year degree is no longer enough to land the best jobs. Some 40% of college graduates since 2006 said they'd need further education to have a successful career, according to research, while more than a quarter said they'd already gone back to school. "They're taking on more debt in the hope that they can find meaningful and well-paid employment in their chosen field."

Watch how to make this recipe.
Sprinkle the roast liberally with salt (about 3 tablespoons), and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to overnight. Pull the meat out an hour before cooking to take the chill off of it. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, render the pancetta until slightly crispy. Remove and reserve. Dry off the meat with a paper towel and begin to brown it in the same pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side; remove and reserve.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the shallots, carrots, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and sweat until slightly caramelized and the vegetables start to release their aromas, about 4 minutes. Add the coriander, thyme and bay leaves, and continue to sweat for 1 minute.
Deglaze the pan with the cider, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to get all of the caramelized bits into the sauce.
Add the beer and bring to a simmer. Add the beef back in along with the pancetta. The liquid should be about three-quarters of the way up the meat. Baste the meat with the liquid, top with a lid and place in the oven until tender, basting every hour, for 3 to 4 hours.
Skim off any excess fat and gently remove the meat to a platter. Spoon the vegetables on top and garnish with the torn mint and lemon zest.

More Llano because you know you llove it
Subject: Processors | June 23, 2011 - 12:32 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: llano, amd, AFDS
Since Llano is the best news we have seen from AMD in quite a while here is more coverage of the APU and the AMD Fusion Developer Summit, this time from The Tech Report. They take an A8-3500M APU and Radeon HD 6620G powered laptop and pit it against an HP ProBook 6460b with a Core i5-2410M and HD3000. The TDP of both processors is 35W and they are likely going to be priced similarly once Llano powered laptops hit the market. As with Ryan's review, for CPU bound tests the AMD processor lags far behind but once the GPU power comes into play the positions are completely reversed. It will be interesting to see how AMD positions Llano in the marketplace.
"Can AMD's 'Llano' APU really take on Intel's excellent Sandy Bridge processors and hold its own? We've taken a deep look at its architecture and performance in order to find out."

AMD announces new OpenCL programming tools
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | June 15, 2011 - 09:14 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: opencl, amd, AFDS
If you are a developer of applications which requires more performance than a CPU alone can provide then you are probably having a gleeful week. Today Microsoft announced their competitor to OpenCL and we have a large write-up about that aspect of their keynote address. If you are currently an OpenCL developer you are not left out, however, as AMD has announced new tools designed to make your life easier too.
General Purpose GPU utilities: Because BINK won't satisfy this crowd.
(Logo trademark Apple Inc.)
AMD's spectrum of enhanced tools includes:
- gDEBuger: An OpenCL and OpenGL debugger, profiler, and memory analyzer released as a plugin for Visual Studio.
- Parallel Path Analyzer (PPA): A tool designed to profile data transfers and kernel execution across your system.
- Global Memory for Accelerators (GMAC) API: Lets developers use multiple devices without needing to manage multiple data buffers in both the CPU and the GPU.
- Task Manager API: A framework to manage scheduling kernels across devices.
These tools and utilities should make the development of software easier and allow more developers to take the risk on the new technology. The GPU has already proven itself worthy of more and more important tasks and it is only a matter of time before it is finally ubiquitous enough that it is a default component as important as the CPU itself. As an ironic aside, that should spur the adoption of PC Gaming given how many people would have sufficient hardware.
AFDS11: Microsoft Announces C++ AMP, Competitor to OpenCL
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Shows and Expos | June 15, 2011 - 05:58 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: programming, microsoft, fusion, c++, amp, AFDS
During this morning's keynote at the AMD Fusion Developer Summit, Microsoft's Herb Sutter went on stage to discuss the problems and solutions involved around programming and developing for multi-processing systems and heterogeneous computing systems in particular. While the problems are definitely something we have discussed before at PC Perspective, the new solution that was showcased was significant.
C++ AMP (accelerated massive parallelism) was announced as a new extension to Visual Studio and the C++ programming language to help developers take advantage of the highly parallel and heterogeneous computing environments of today and the future. The new programming model uses C++ syntax and will be available in the next version of Visual Studio with "bits of it coming later this year." Sorry, no hard release date was given when probed.
Perhaps just as significant is the fact that Microsoft announced the C++ AMP standard would be an open specification and they are going to allow other compilers to integrated support for it. Unlike C# then, C++ AMP has a chance to be a new dominant standard in the programming world as the need for parallel computing expands. While OpenCL was the only option for developers that promised to allow easy utilization of ALL computing power in a computing device, C++ AMP gives users another option with the full weight of Microsoft behind it.
To demonstrate the capability of C++ AMP Microsoft showed a rigid body simulation program that ran on multiple computers and devices from a single executable file and was able to scale in performance from 3 GLOPS on the x86 cores of Llano to 650 GFLOPS on the combined APU power and to 830 GFLOPS with a pair of discrete Radeon HD 5800 GPUs. The same executable file was run on an AMD E-series APU powered tablet and ran at 16 GFLOPS with 16,000 particles. This is the promise of heterogeneous programming languages and is the gateway necessary for consumers and business to truly take advantage of the processors that AMD (and other companies) are building today.
If you want programs other than video transcoding apps to really push the promise of heterogeneous computing, then the announcement of C++ AMP is very, very big news.
AFDS11: Upcoming Trinity APU will use VLIW4 / Cayman Architecture
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors, Shows and Expos | June 14, 2011 - 08:06 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: vliw, trinity, llano, fusion, evergreen, cayman, amd, AFDS
Well that was an interesting twist... During a talk on the next generation of GPU technology at the AMD Fusion Developer Summit, one of the engineers was asked about Trinity, the next APU to be released in 2012 (and shown running today for the very first time). It was offered that Trinity in fact used a VLIW4 architecture rather than the VLIW5 design found in the just released Llano A-series APU.
A shader unit from the VLIW4-based Cayman architecture
That means that Trinity APUs will ship with Cayman-based GPU technology (6900 series) rather than the Evergreen (5000 series). While that doesn't tell us much in terms of performance simply because we have so many variables including shader counts and clocks, it does put to rest the rumor that Trinity was going to keep basically the same class of GPU technology that Llano had.
Trinity notebook shown for the first time today at AFDS. Inside is an APU with Cayman-class graphics.
AMD is definitely pushing the capabilities of APUs forward and if they can stay on schedule with Trinity, Intel might find the GPU portion of its Ivy Bridge architecture well behind again.
AFDS11: ARM Talks Dark Silicon and Computing Bias at Fusion Summit
Subject: Editorial, Processors, Shows and Expos | June 14, 2011 - 05:09 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, Intel, heterogeneous, fusion, arm, AFDS
Before the AMD Fusion Developer Summit started this week in Bellevue, WA the most controversial speaker on the agenda was Jem Davies, the VP of Technology at ARM. Why would AMD and ARM get together on a stage with dozens of media and hundreds of developers in attendance? There is no partnership between them in terms of hardware or software but would there be some kind of major announcement made about the two company's future together?
In that regard, the keynote was a bit of a letdown and if you thought there was going to be a merger between them or a new AMD APU being announced with an ARM processor in it, you left a bit disappointed. Instead we got a bit of background on ARM how the race of processing architectures has slowly dwindled to just x86 and ARM as well as a few jibes at the competition NOT named AMD.
As is usually the case, Davies described the state of processor technology with an emphasis on power efficiency and the importance of designing with that future in mind. One of the interesting points was shown in regard to the "bitter reality" of core-type performance and the projected DECREASE we will see from 2012 onward due to leakage concerns as we progress to 10nm and even 7nm technologies.
The idea of dark silicon "refers to the huge swaths of silicon transistors on future chips that will be underused because there is not enough power to utilize all the transistors at the same time" according to this article over at physorg.com. As the process technology gets smaller then the areas of dark silicon increase until the area of the die that can be utilized at any one time might hit as low as 10% in 2020. Because of this, the need to design chips with many task-specific heterogeneous portions is crucial and both AMD and ARM on that track.
Those companies not on that path today, NVIDIA specifically and Intel as well, were addressed on the below slide when discussing GPU computing. Davies pointed out that if a company has a financial interest in the immediate success of only CPU or GPU then benchmarks will be built and shown in a way to make it appear that THAT portion is the most important. We have seen this from both NVIDIA and Intel in the past couple of years while AMD has consistently stated they are going to be using the best processor for the job.
Amdahl's Law is used in parallel computing to predict the theoretical maximum speed up using multiple processors. Davies reiterated what we have been told for some time that if only 50% of your application can actually BE parallelized, then no matter how many processing cores you throw at it, it will only ever be 50% faster. The heterogeneous computing products of today and the future can address both the parallel computing and serial computing tasks with improvements in performance and efficiency and should result in better computing in the long run.
So while we didn't get the major announcement from ARM and AMD that we might have been expecting, the fact that ARM would come up and share a stage with AMD reiterates the message of the Fusion Developer Summit quite clearly: a combined and balanced approach to processing might not be the sexiest but it is very much the correct one for consumers.
AFDS11: AMD Demonstrates Trinity Powered Notebook
Subject: Processors, Mobile, Shows and Expos | June 14, 2011 - 12:08 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: trinity, fusion, APU, AFDS
On stage during the opening keynote at the AMD Fusion Developer Summit 2011, Rick Bergman showed off a notebook that was being powered not by the recently released AMD Llano A-series APUs, but rather the Trinity core due in 2012.
Trinity is the desktop APU for next year that will combine Bulldozer-based x86 CPU cores with an updated DX11 GPU architecture built on the current 32nm process. Not much else is known about the chip yet but hopefully we'll get some more details this week at the show.
AMD discusses "Heterogeneous Computing"
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors | May 22, 2011 - 11:04 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: fusion, amd, AFDS
In a little over three weeks' time AMD will host their AMD Fusion Developer Summit 2011 (AFDS): a three-day conference with the hopes of promoting heterogeneous computing amongst developers. We have increasingly seen potential applications of using the parts of your computer outside the standard x86 core over the years though much of it was through NVIDIA's brand. Building up to the summit, AMD's DeveloperCentral talked with Lee Howes, parallel computing expert and Member of Technical Staff for Programming Models at AMD, about his upcoming session at AFDS.
I can't get over how much AFDS looks like a diagnosis.
In the short five-question interview, Dr. Howes outlined that the goal of his session is to show developers what to expect, good and bad, from developing for a heterogeneous architecture such as that of an APU. The rest of the interview was spent discussing how heterogeneous computing is currently and will eventually look like. Topics spanned from the slow perceived uptake of parallel computing in the home to the technological limitations of traditional CPUs that APUs and other heterogeneous computing systems look to bypass.
While AFDS is (by its namesake) a developer's conference it is very much relevant to peer at for the end-user. The support for developers of newer computing architectures will help fuel the cycle of adoption between software and hardware which ends up with a better experience for us. What tasks would you like to see accelerated by heterogeneous computing? Let us know in the comments below.

The nation's largest farm organizations have written the Bush administration, asking it to continue to fight efforts by Brazil and other so-called "developing" countries to garner preferential treatment in the Doha Round of WTO negotiations.
In the letter, the groups thanked U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick and Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman for the "strenuous efforts" they and their staff made to advance the WTO negotiations on agriculture, including the recent ministerial in Cancun.
"Our organizations strongly support the goals of the Doha mandate and the leadership role taken by the administration to achieve those goals," the groups said in the letter. "Despite the setback at Cancun, the WTO negotiations on agriculture remain our highest priority — constituting the only forum in which across-the-board market access gains, further disciplines in domestic support and the elimination of export subsidies can be achieved."
The letter was signed by 12 organizations, including the National Corn Growers, the National Cotton Council and the American Soybean Association.
The groups agreed with the administration position that the second revision of the draft ministerial text produced by Chairman Derbez could have served as a basis for further negotiations at Cancun , although significant changes were still needed.
The letter continued: "In particular, we have serious concerns about developing countries' demands for indiscriminate extension of special and differential treatment and other means for limiting the implementation of new disciplines on market access, domestic support and export subsidies in any self-declared developing countries."
Directed at Brazil
Such provisions, the farm groups noted, would make it difficult to envision how further negotiations could result in significant improvement in overall trade reform.
Although the letter did not name any countries, it was clearly directed at Brazil, which dubbed itself the leader of a group of 21 countries that demanded the United States and the European Union reduce their farm subsidies, while proposing no such reductions in their own or providing more access to their economies.
"Most disturbing in the developments at Cancun were the attitudes expressed by some of the more advanced developing countries and most competitive agricultural exporters." The authors said.
"Despite having benefited enormously under the WTO system, these countries now appear convinced that the Doha Round should be a one-way street where developed countries make all the reforms while they, as self-declared developing countries, are required to do little or nothing regarding further trade liberalization," the groups said, urging the administration to pursue WTO negotiations that address and correct this misperception.
"In the wake of Cancun, we do not believe that we can delay pursuing differentiation between truly disadvantaged and advanced developing countries until the final stages of the negotiations."

On Monday night, Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon addressed the rampant speculation about the future of "The Tonight Show" the way any of us would: by performing a song from "West Side Story."
In an amusing and effective display of unity, the two hosts teamed up for a duet that aired at 12:36 a.m., just as "The Tonight Show" was switching over to "Late Night."
It began with Leno walking backstage, where he was swarmed by reporters (apparently security in Burbank isn't what it used to be). Cut to New York, where Fallon sat in his 30 Rock dressing room, looking forlorn next to a pile of newspapers. As he scanned the headlines, Fallon's phone rang: It was "Tonight Show host" calling.
