ACP Rates Clarion
Second class is the rating the Associated Collegiate Press recently
sent to the Clarion as a part of this organization's services. This is the
first time the Clarion has ever used the ACP bi-annual critique and rat-ing.
Because of this and the fact that this rating covers the Fall and
Winter quarter's issues, when the Clarion was undergoing several
development pains, the staff feels this is a good start in the right
direction. Second class is about average.
However, though the rating, determined on a point basis, placed the
Clarion in the "average" bracket, an additional sixty points would
have rated the Clarion in first class. This tells us that first class is
easily attainable with improvement on such areas as headlines, photo-graphs,
and coverage or as ACP put it, "tie up some loose ends."
The ACP critique manual quite thoroughly covers every general
phase of newspaper writing such as news coverage, news and
feature content, overall physical properties, headlines, photo-graphs,
typography and so on. In brief, the critique is a "compact,
comprehensive evaluation of the colleges's publication and a digest of
standards and suggestions for all such publications.
The ACP is affiliated with the Journalism school at the University
of Minnesota and, besides offering critical services, they supply each
of the collegiate papers who are members of ACP with a periodic
packet of material, feature and news, which is gleaned from all the
other members. The Clarion has made considerable use of this material
this year.

D ear Faculty, Students and

sincerely for this wonderful sur-prise
that has made it possible
for us to go to Sweden. Your love
and kindness is deeply appreciated
and will never be forgotten. God
bless you all. Tack sa micket.
Mr. and Mrs. Eric Borgeson
Dear Editor,
As usual I was going to write
my bi-weekly cynical, nasty letter
to the Clarion, but as "luck would
have it," I forgot what I was go-ing
to write.
If it's all right with you I think
I'll change tactics and throw a
few bouquets to:
(a) Adeline Duncan, for the
story she wrote, published in the
(b) the Bethel first piano quar-tet,
whose hard work produced a
fine evening of entertainment;
(c) Miss Axeen and Mr. Guston
and the library staff who have
been misunderstood and mistreat-ed
beyond reason;
(d) the orators and poetry read-ers
who did commendable work in
the recent rhetoric competition;
(e) Little Man on Campus and
his highly academic barbs;
(f) the baseball team for beat-ing
Northwestern (twice!!!);
(g) E-day committee for ful-filling
a dream.
No Mo Despair
(ACP)—There was a musical
shindig in Washington, D.C. at the
British embassy and one of her
majesty's subjects brought along
his eight-year old son, who had
been living in Washington ever
since he was five. At the wind-up,
the orchestra played the tradition-al
"God Save The Queen," and the
youngster joined in the singing.
Only difference was that he sang
"My Country 'Tis Of Thee," in a
clear penerating soprano. When it
was over, one of the guests re-marked
in a crisp British accent:
"My word! The lad's been brain-washed!"

THE CLARION Friday, May 20, 1955
Exam Time
The last issue of the Clarion ran a letter that sharply criti-cized
the Bethel library staff for not keeping the library quiet.
There have been several reactions to this anonymous letter (and
the anonymity of all parties concerned shall be maintained). This
editorial then takes the form of an apology, perhaps, or a retrac-tion;
however, I wish to consider something far more basic.
My expressions flow from a pen that has also produced much
criticism. I too have worn out both visages of the Christian Janus.
I too have smirked at a student's blundering and laughed at his
stupidity, yet I have also looked on him who has lost or has been
nearly broken physically or spiritually—I even broke the bonds of
lethargy and done something for him.
What is this second, opposite face or attitude? I Corinthians
13 names it the great of all virtues. Some, perhaps many, theo-logians
hail this as God's greatest expression to mankind. Jim
Young spoke a recent Thursday on this in Seminary chapel. It is
love. Speech, learning, and actions minus love equals a tragic,
unconditional, devilish zero.
In two weeks Bethel will be quite diffused over half or more
of the United States in places of work and service from gas station
to business office. In two weeks there will begin an examination
period for harder and more revealing than the exams now being
taken. In two weeks there will begin a quarter that will reveal
how much you did learn at Bethel this year. How will that
quarter's grades turn out ? Consideration, kindness, patience, love
—pull for a straight A average.

Editor's note: This is an original story written by Miss Duncan as
an assignment for a course of advanced composition.
by Adeline Duncan
Story thus far:
Catullus, the head guard of the tomb where Jesus lay, had come
to the tomb four nights in a row trying to move the stone that
covered the tomb. He couldn't. Hamar, an old man, observed
his frequent visits since he too visits the tomb to worship Christ,
his risen Lord. Hamar asked Catullus what did happen that first
Easter morning.
"Alright," Catullus said at last. "Guess I'll tell you." He wiped
his brow. "Well — it was a pretty long night and we were all relieved
when morning finally came. But before we knew what happened, the
ground started shaking! Some of the men ran, but I — I couldn't seem
to move ! Then — and here's the part that's been eating at me — a
man, one man, who was not nearly my size, came and rolled that stone
away from the tomb!" Catullus pointed to the huge boulder beside them.
"What happened then?"
"Then this fellow sat on the stone — just sat there! There was a
peculiar bright light around him — it was so bright that it almost
blinded us! Then something happened that I can't understand. I have
never fainted before, but I guess that's what must have happened! Any-way
all of us that stayed — blacked out! It was a strange thing — sort
of mystical!" Catullus covered his face and paused for a long time.
"When we woke up, the fellow was gone — Jesus was too! The
grave clothes were lying on the ground. All the fellows looked just
like I felt — like I'd seen a miracle!"
Hamar rose to his feet. "Why didn't you tell that to the priests ?"
"We did! But they wouldn't believe us. At least they didn't want
to! They insisted that we had been dreaming!"
"None of them believed you ?"
"Oh, there were a few old ones who did, but they were outnum-bered."
"And so they gave you money to say the disciples stole the body."
"Yeah. And that puts me in pretty deep. Today I bought a villa
with the money!" Catullus rubbed the back of his neck. "That's why I
didn't want to tell anyone." He thought a minute. "But you know —
telling you has cleared up a lot of things for me!"
"How's that ?"
"Well — I kept thinking about that one fellow rolling back the
stone. I figured if anyone could move the stone it would be me. And
I can't budge it!"
"So you kept coming back here to try and prove to yourself it
wasn't a miracle. What have you decided ?"
"I guess I can't keep trying to fool myself." Catullus sighed heavily.
Hamar spoke softly, "Why are you afraid to believe it was a
miracle ?"
There was a long pause.
"I guess I was afraid because of what it might do to me. If I be-lieved
it was a miracle then I would have to look at the whole thing
in a different light. It would be a dangerous thing to lie and say a
miracle never happened!"
"Yes, I see what you mean!"
"Then if I told what really happened, and it got around Jerusalem,
I'd probably be demoted. And my whole company would laugh me right
out of Jerusalem!" Catullus thought for a while. "Then there's the
priests — they're so powerful. They'd be on my neck in a minute! My
wife might even be in danger!"
"And too, you are afraid of the kind of man God would make out
of you."
Catullus nodded. "I guess so. But I don't know why I want to
hang on to what I am now. Being anything else would be better." He
looked away. "I haven't been the best husband! And I hang around
with a cheap dirty gang — yes, I know what they are! But they are the
only friends I have!" Catullus picked up a pebble and tossed it away.
"The question seems to be, does becoming one of Jesus' followers really
have something better to offer ?" He looked again into Hamar's eyes.
Something in those eyes assured him that it did.
"All right," Catullus said finally, "I'll listen."
Hamar smiled and began to speak.
Now that we've seen the campus for almost a whole school year,
how much of the campus are you familiar with? Merely to test your
ingenuity and powers of observation, we've searched out a few things
of interest that do exist here on campus. If you get them all right, you
get a free trip to Sweden; nine or eight, you're an old pro from way
back; seven or six, what I mean is, you're average; five or four, you're
a pan dandy; three, two or one, hang it, you've had it.

Has Scholarship
Miss Mildred Bisgrove, assistant
professor of music, recently re-ceived
a scholarship to Columbia
University for further study this
summer in the field of music.
The scholarship is awarded to
teachers whose field is not close-ly
related to religion. However,
the purpose of this summer's stud-ies
is research into the relation-ship
that does exist between, in
Miss Bisgrove's case, music and

Northwestern 10-3
Bethel experienced their first
night game of the year beating
Northwestern Schools 10-3 on May
16. Al Stahnke had the game well
under control from the start and
allowed only three hits. Two of
Northwestern's runs were unearn-ed
and the third scored when
Stahnke walked a man with bases
Bethel, having scored once in the
first inning, added two more runs
in the third on Tierney's triple and
singles by Burleson and Wes Lar-son.
The seventh inning proved to
be Bethel's biggest run-producing
frame, when consecutive base hits
by Dale Larson, Tierney, and
Brunzell started things off. Be-fore
the inning was over Bethel

added three more runs in the

stretch, cough, sneeze, blow his

Impressive Showing
Bethel's track team showed well
in a triangular meet with Duluth
Branch, University of Minnesota,
and the Hamline Pipers May 14
although they did finish last, seven
points behind the Pipers. The final
score was Duluth 68, Hamline
45 1/2, and Bethel 38 1/2.
Leading the way for the Royals
was Thomason with a first in the
broad jump and seconds in the
pole vault and high hurdles. Mac-
Donell placed first in the discus
and second in the shot put. Stipe
scored the only other first for the
thinclads with the top jump in the
pole vault.
Others placing were Yost with
two seconds, Thomas with one
third, Dahlquist with one fourth,
Erickson with one fourth and the
relay team — Seaquist, Cedar,
Geiger, Erickson — with a second.
time. But it looks good to the
major league scouts.
Then, it is invariably best to
have the pitcher steal as many
bases as possible, because he prob-ably
has a collection at home. And
you can always have runners steal
third, because the catcher just
might swallow the ball in the ex-citement.
One must always hope.
Without ceasing.
And when one of your runners
gets thrown out by seventy-five
feet stealing because he didn't get
the jump on the pitcher, it is best
to replace him, provided he is an
infielder, with a spare catcher or
bat boy and then search out some
bonehead remaining on the bench
to agree with you.
Bemidji Coasts
By Royals 8-5
Dunning Field provided the
backdrop on May 10 as Bethel
lost to Bemidji State Teachers
College 8-5. Frank Burleson pitch-ed
exceptionally fine baseball for
the first two innings, striking out
five of the first six batters. How-ever,
in the third inning he aggra-vated
a back muscle and lost his
effectiveness. Bemidji then began
hitting, and, combined with some
Bethel errors, scored in every inn-ing
except the ninth. Brunzell re-lieved
Burleson in the eighth and
pitched good baseball. In the ninth,
Bethel had a short-lived rally scor-ing
three runs on some timely hit-ting
by Baurle and Brunzell.
Track Squad Places
First With Concordia
Bethel's thinclads turned in their
finest performance of the season
by taking four firsts and tying
Concordia for first place in a four
school track meet at Central Sta-dium
Wednesday, May 11.
John Yost took individual hon-ors
by taking firsts in the 100
yard dash and in the 220 yard low
hurdles. At the same time Ron
MacDonell took a first in the dis-cus
while limping Don Stipe tied
for a first in the pole vault.
The Bethel 880 relay team won
a first with Dave Seaquist, John
Cedar, Ray Geiger and Yost tak-ing
the honors for the Royals.
Team points for the meet ended
up with Bethel and Concordia both
having 47. While Bethel and Con-cordia
tied for first, Rochester and
Northwestern took third and
fourth places respectively.
Tennis Team
Triumphs Twice
The tennis team travelled down
to Mankato May 7 to beat Beth-any
5-1. On Tuesday, May 10, the
squad also defeated Northwestern
5-2. Mesko, Lee, Edlund, and Sand-burg
won their singles matches
with Lee and Fischer winning
their doubles match. Bethel and
Northwestern are in the process
of finishing a match. The score to
date is tied, 2-2.
Bethel Splits Two
With Bethany
Bethel's baseball team won the
first game of a double header with
Bethany on May 7 by 7-5, thanks
to Burleson's fine pitching, and
then lost the second game 7-6.
Burleson was almost unhittable,
allowing only three safeties and
striking out fifteen. Christenson,
catching in place of Brunzell, was
the hitting star of the second game
with a double and a triple. But
defensive lapses gave Bethany the
game. They scored the winning
run in the seventh on a walk, an
error, and a hit.

Some bad policy ideas never die. In 2008 I wrote a study on LD 1697, "An Act to Ensure Fair Wages," that would have increased Maine's minimum wage by $1.00 and then indexed the minimum wage to inflation forever after.
Fast forward to today and we are confronted with LD 611, "An Act to Adjust Maine's Minimum Wage Annually Based on Cost-of-Living Changes." What would LD 611 do? It would increase Maine's minimum wage by $1.00 and then index the minimum wage to inflation forever after. Where have I seen this before?
Proponents of the minimum wage increase like to stress how this money would go to low-income individuals who would spend this money and stimulate the economy. Dr. Susan Feiner, Professor of Economics and Professor of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Southern Maine, recently testified in support of LD 611 stating that it would add "$166 million in new income and new spending per year."
Of course, that is simply impossible. This new $166 million in income would not fall from the sky or grow on Maine's pine trees, it would come from the businesses that employ these workers. As a consequence, these businesses now have less money to invest in new equipment or hire new workers. In other words, you can steal from Peter to pay Paul, but you won't introduce any new income or new spending into the economic equation.
More troubling is that hiking Maine's minimum wage, which is already higher than the federal minimum wage, would further erode Maine's business climate relative to other states.
Simply comparing nominal minimum wage levels from one state to another is not useful since states vary in their economic condition. A more useful comparison is to create a ratio of the hourly minimum wage to hourly private sector wages and salaries. This ratio is an indication of how badly the minimum wage is distorting the job market within a state by artificially increasing employment costs. Thus, a high ratio is bad.
The table above shows these ratios by state. Maine's ratio is calculated by dividing the current hourly minimum wage ($7.50) by the hourly private sector wage ($19.15) yielding a ratio of 39.2 percent–the 7th highest in the country and the second highest in New England. Maine's stiffest and closest economic competitor, New Hampshire, comes in at 31 percent and only the 40th highest ratio in the country.
If Maine's minimum wage is increased to $8.50 an hour, Maine's ratio would jump to 44.4 percent and would be the 3rd highest in the country. Maine would also just miss dethroning Vermont as having the highest ratio in New England.
LD 611 would also bring another bad public policy idea to Maine–indexing the minimum wage to inflation, something only ten other states do at this time. Ironically, a higher minimum wage will be passed forward onto the consumer as higher prices. Higher prices means higher inflation which means a higher minimum wage which means . . . well, I think you get the point.
If the Legislature believes that Maine needs a higher minimum wage, this should be a transparent decision with a public hearing and a vote of the legislators. Laws with a long-lasting negative impact on Maine's business climate must not be set on blind automatic pilot.

General Electric Co has agreed to buy the aviation business of Italy's Avio for $4.3 billion, in a sign of confidence about the country's underlying strength despite its deep recession.
The deal comes as Europe's fourth-biggest economy labors to become more competitive under a reform agenda set by technocrat prime minister Mario Monti, who is due to step down on Friday before general elections seen in February.
Continue Reading Below
"We are convinced that Italy will exit the crisis," Nani Beccalli, president and chief executive of GE Europe, told reporters on Friday. "There are undoubtedly hurdles linked to red tape. But the strategic value of the deal is so big (it would offset other issues)", Beccalli said.
GE agreed to buy Avio from private equity fund Cinven and Italian state-controlled defense group Finmeccanica . The move frustrated the aspirations of France's Safran and Italy's state-backed Strategic Fund, which had been trying over the last few months to take over Avio.
GE, whose businesses range from infrastructure technology to financial services, said Avio would boost its global supply chain capabilities as its engine production rates rise to meet growing customer demand.
Avio, which makes components for the GE Dreamliner engine used by Boeing Co , ranks among Italy's industrial jewels and is one of the most technologically advanced companies in its field.
William Blair & Co analyst Nick Heymann said the move, which amounts to GE buying a supplier to its jet engine program, was intended in part to protect new technologies.
"They're trying to get more vertically integrated and have more control over critical aspects of the manufacturing process," he said.
GE is developing composite ceramics for jet engines, a technology it also plans to use in other products such as electric turbines and equipment used in oil and gas production.
"Rather than developing (composite ceramics) and trust someone not to give it away, you want to keep it in-house," Heymann said.
The move could be a sign that GE in coming years might be ready to consider larger acquisitions outside of the $1 billion to $3 billion range that GE's CEO, Jeff Immelt, has described as the company's sweet spot over the past few years.
"We're slowly inching our way back into larger capital redeployment," Heymann said.
GE shares were down 0.6 percent at $20.92 on Friday morning on the New York Stock Exchange.
GE said the purchase price values the aviation business of Avio, which also supplies Rolls Royce Holdings , at 8.5 times its expected 2012 core earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
"No nitpicks here. This is an excellent deal," said Brian Langenberg, of independent research firm Langenberg & Co.
Debt-laden Finmeccanica, which owned 14 pct of Avio, will use the 260 million euros it is earning from its stake sale to lower debt. The sale is the first of a number of disposals the company needs to carry out to keep its investment-grade credit rating.
The U.S. group will not be buying Avio's space unit, which the Italian government considers strategic. The unit, which is expected to make sales of between 280 million euros and 285 million in 2012, will remain for the time being under the control of Cinven and Finmeccanica.
Avio's revenue in the aviation sector was 1.7 billion euros ($2.25 billion) in 2011, with more than 50 percent derived from components for GE and GE joint-venture engines.
Cinven had bought Avio in 2006 for some 2.6 billion euros.
Under GE's ownership, Avio will invest 1.1 billion euros over the next 10 years, company executives said.
GE said it planned to pursue new opportunities for Avio in the power generation, oil and marine products industries.
The GE deal comes after a planned initial public offering for Avio was scrapped earlier in 2012 because of weak market conditions.

Students in the BFA in Art program partake in many shared learning experiences throughout the comprehensive studio art curriculum. Freshman and sophomores explore a broad range of media in foundational studio courses designed to develop technical proficiencies. Sophomores and juniors explore a range of contemporary artistic practices through required courses in Contemporary Gallery Practice, Modernism and Contemporary Art History. Juniors and seniors take four intermedia interdisciplinary studio art courses that promote critical and conceptual thinking as they develop individual artistic voices. The senior seminar course is the capstone experience in the program requiring students to write a thesis statement and install an exhibition of their artwork in Chapman's Guggenheim Gallery. Students also work together as they install shows that are judged by visiting professional artists and gallerists each semester.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Students will be expected to use identifying and comparative language to explain how their own artwork is positioned within the general context of contemporary artistic practice both orally and in writing.
- Student will be expected to produce/create artwork that evidences a mutually reinforcing integration of form and content.
- Students will be expected to participate in personalized education that will help him/her develop an independent, informed and articulate voice as an artist, which he/she will demonstrate through their studio work, artist statement and BFA exhibition.
- Students will develop writing competencies commonly used in the discipline of contemporary art: The ability to write both descriptively and analytically about works of visual art both their own art and that of others in a variety of media.
AP Art scores can be counted towards GE credit but will not be considered to count towards the major in art.

Project Update November 2008
See also
As of November, 2008, all perissodactyl specimens had been moved to refurbished storage facilities in Building 3A. A total of 166 substandard cabinets were removed and discarded. They were replaced with new custom-designed 3-door units fabricated by Delta Designs Ltd. The cabinets were designed to be interchangeable with the existing 3-door units used throughout the AMNH Paleontology collections.
The existing shelving racks have been replaced with 23 heavy-duty bulk storage units equipped with metal decking. These units, rated at over 2,300lbs per shelf level, are much better equipped to provide support to oversized fossil specimens than the previous plywood shelving. The new units have been positioned to allow access from both sides. This makes it easier to locate and move heavy specimens without damaging them.
For the remainder of the project, we will be concentrating on improving the housing of the specimens at the drawer level and below. The first phase of this work, which involved lining the 8,500 specimen drawers in the collection with a layer of ¼" archival quality Ethafoam™, has now been completed. The Ethafoam layer serves two purposes – it provides cushioning for the specimens and also stops them sliding around when drawers are opened and closed, which can cause damage. Our project volunteers and student interns are now moving on to replacing damaged and substandard specimen trays and providing additional supports for especially fragile specimens.
Larger specimens, housed on open shelves, are also getting housing upgrades. All shelves are now lined with ½" Ethafoam ™ and under the direction of collections staff, our volunteers have been using blocks of Ethafoam™ to build heavy-duty specimen mounts. In addition to providing support for the specimens, the mounts allow fragile but heavy specimens to be lifted on and off the shelves without touching the specimen itself. Especially large material has been placed on pallets at floor level, which can be moved out from under the racks using a pallet jack.
As well as improving the physical housing of the specimens, we've been working to improve the quality of information that we can provide to users of the collection. For the first time, we now have a complete inventory of all cataloged and uncataloged perissodactyl specimens. Our interns have flagged the locations of all uncataloged material on both floors for later processing. The interns have also been scouring the archives of the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology in order to obtain in-depth information on the location of the many collecting localities associated with the perissodactyl collection, and capturing descriptions of the fossils from the card catalog to update our on-line database. You can read more about their work in the project blog.
Outreach to the wider community is an important aspect of the Project. In a collaboration with the Museum's Education Department, the Division of Paleontology has been working with Teaching Fellows, recruited from the New York Public School system, to develop web-based teaching resources which draw on the perissodactyl collection to illustrate issues relating to a variety of topics including animal diversity, evolution, ecology, and climate change. These, and much more, will be available via a website on perissodactyl biology and evolution which is due for launch in 2010.
Finally, the Perissodactyl Project is generating some novel spin-offs which will have broadly applicability to collections management. One of these is a comparison of different methods of assessing the state of the collection, which is being undertaken in collaboration with AMNH's Natural Science Conservation Lab. Collection assessments are an important tool which allow collection managers to determine how best to target limited resources in order to have the biggest impact on the well-being of the collection. We hope that our studies will help to create methodologies that are both efficient and effective.
Watch out for further news on the project via our blog and the Division of Paleontology's News page.

text: USB flash is really slow. Regular CF (@ 128 KB/s writes) on a cf to ide adapter is a lot faster (particularly write speed) than USB flash (@ 64 KB/s write speed) "thumb drives". I've had good luck with IBM microdrives, but CF is getting cheaper than microdrives. Of course , the microdrives are a lot faster (@ 1MB/s R/W) than CF on write. But CF is pretty fast on read (10 MB/s ??). CF has a limited number of writes before it fails , anywhere from 100K to 1M write cycles. The time for write cycles is typically anywhere from 300 milliseconds to 500 milliseconds for a 32 KB chunk for regular CF. Typically you write a chunk of CF at once in each write cycle, and 32KB is a typical figure for that (but it varies with the particular memory chips used). This is why CF is so awfully slow when writing. Using serial CF makes it even worse, which is one reason why USB thumb drives are even slower than regular CF cards. CF is okay for booting a system from, but things like /tmp , /var are best mountd in a memory file system and only written to cf when shutting down. Swap partitions and /home need to be mounted via NFS. At present, I have two nodes of a 14 node cluster booting from CF, and /home is mounted on another machine with a proper hard drive via NFS. Ten of the nodes are booting from microdrives, and two nodes have ata 133 hard drives for /home, development and backups. /var /tmp and swap are actually mounted on the cf card, and I'm waiting to see how long before the cf actually expires. These nodes have been up 24/7 for over a month now, with no problems. I have not tried to force the nodes to swap. For saving power and reducing heat, CF is going to be the best you can get. Microdrives are almost as good, laptop drives are pretty good, and a regular IDE drive is a pig in comparison. I use a USB thumb drive with a bootable OS on it as an emergency boot drive. It comes in handy when installing a node. Since I use microdrives, all I do is shut down the node and plug the new microdrive into the cf adapter, and the cf thumb drive in the usb port and turn the node on, and it boots from USB so I can then install a system image stored on the development node onto the new microdrive via an NFS mount. It takes about 5 minutes to install and configure a new node in this fashion. Writing the disk image to a 512 MB cf card is going to take up to an hour, and plan on at least twice that to write a disk image to a 512 MB USB flash.

Developer's Reading List, April 17, 2012 C++ concurrency, web crawlers, Google testing, and more: This month's reading list is packed with great books on interesting topics.
Also Received
3D Game Programming with DirectX 11
by Frank Luna
Frank Luna is a well-known writer in game development and especially on DirectX. This volume does credit to his reputation by being a thorough and comprehensive (850 pages) treatment of game development using Microsoft's recent graphics technology. (Note: Some readers have complained that the book is limited to DirectX 11 and does not carry over the new Direct3D 11.1 in Windows 8.)
The book starts with the very basics: vector and matrix algebra. It then progresses to transformations and implementing those transforms in code. The code portion begins with an intro to Direct3D that thoughtfully makes stops along the way to discuss the graphics pipelines — textures, the various kinds of shaders, and so forth. Finally, it breaks into the core topics of mapping, rendering, particle systems, and the like.
For developers who have always wanted to learn how to do graphics for games but found the entry way barred by all kinds of specialized terms and techniques, this is the book that will take you across the threshold and into the land of productive game coding. Recommended.
Machine Learning for Hackers
by Drew Conway and John M. White
Machine learning, as described in this book, is the process of going through large amounts of data for purposes of classification, prediction, optimization, and recommendation. The authors show you how to do these things by introducing the material via lucid explanations of the core algorithms. The book makes very heavy use of the R programming language. If you're not versed in R (you'll need to be far more than passingly familiar with it), this book is not for you. If you're comfortable enough with the language, you'll find treatments on how to predict page views for a site, filter spam, analyze social networks, and other interesting topics that derive from being able to intelligently analyze statistics drawn from large data sets. Recommended.
JQuery: Novice to Ninja, 2nd Edition
by Ealre Casteldine and Craig Sharkie
A hip, to-the-point, handbook on using JQuery and JQueryUI for improve the usability and the look of web pages. Animation, slideshows, menu management, tabs, and panels are all illustrated with well-explained and simple to understand code snippets that guide you quickly to your destination. There is enough text that you gain a sense of how JQuery delivers the magic and how best to use it. In other words, this is not just a cookbook, but a good, instructive resource as well. Recommended.

Men charged in 4-state dog-fighting case plead not guilty in Alabama hearing
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – A dozen men indicted in a multi-state dog-fighting investigation entered not guilty pleas at their arraignment Wednesday in Alabama.
All 12 men are charged with conspiring to sponsor dog fights or training animals for fights. Eleven face gambling charges.
Investigators seized 367 pit bulls Friday in raids in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. The dogs are now being cared for by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society of the United States at undisclosed locations. Morris said the two groups are doing evaluations of each dog and that will be used an evidence in the case.
A magistrate judge set a Feb. 10 trial date for the men, who are from Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas.
During the hearing, federal prosecutor Clark Morris revealed that evidence in the three-year investigation includes wire taps from Alabama and Georgia.
Eight of the defendants are free on bond, while four are being held in the Montgomery jail pending another court hearing. As a condition of their release, U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles Coody ordered that they assist authorities in the humane removal of all dogs remaining on their property.
Several defense attorneys declined comment, saying they had just met their clients and had not yet seen the prosecution's evidence.
Charged are Donnie Anderson of Auburn; Demontt Allen of Houston, Texas; William Antone Edwards of Brantley; William Oneil Edwards of Elba; Robin Stinson of Elba; Michael Martin of Auburn; Lawrence Watford of Adel, Ga.; Ricky Van Le of Biloxi, Miss.; David Sellers of Opelika; Sandy Brown of Brownsville, Irkis Forrest of Theodore; and Carton Tippens of Riverdale, Ga.
If convicted, they could get up to five years in prison on each of the dog fighting and gambling charges.
While the case moves along in federal court, the ASPCA and HUSA are trying to create new lives for the dogs.
Daisy Balawejder, dog-fighting recuse coalition coordinator for the Humane Society, said her organization is caring for 115 of the dogs, which now have individual kennels and plenty of food and medical care. "Many of the dogs we saw were underweight, she said in an interview.
The dogs will be held for evidence while the case is pending. During that period, they will undergo behavioral enrichment and rehabilitation. Eventually, the goal is to place them with shelters and organizations for adoption. She said they have an excellent success rate in retraining pit bulls.
"These animals have never had the opportunity to live in our world. Once they are given the option, they don't want to fight," she said.

How big will the 2005 U.S. cotton crop be? This is a troubling question for prognosticators these days, especially in light of what has happened the last two years.
"After a decade of relatively flat yields, we've seen new records set in each of the past two years," said Gary Adams, the National Cotton Council's vice president, economic policy analysis. "In 2003, the average yield was 730 pounds per acre, surpassing the previous record of 708 pounds set in 1994. This past year, the average yield is currently estimated at an incredible 846 pounds per acre."
The Mid-South did its share of pushing the average higher. Southeast Missouri and Arkansas had yield increases of nearly 200 pounds over 2003, which was also a record-setting year for average yield for both states. Yields were substantially above trend in most other Mid-South states. So, will U.S. cotton producers set records again in 2005?
The challenge, according to Adams, is figuring out how much of the yield boost in 2004 was due to better-than-average growing conditions and how much was due to other factors such as new seed varieties and the effects of boll weevil eradication."
In the NCC's current outlook for 2005 — in which yield is pegged at 733 pounds per acre — the assumptions are that it's going to be a little of both. The figure is almost 50 pounds above last year's trend yield and 90 pounds higher than 2003's trend yield.
The record average yield of 2004 harvested on just over 13 million acres produced a crop of 23 million bales, which surpassed the previous record by almost 3 million bales. Combined with beginning stocks of 3.5 million bales, total supplies for the current marketing year are at a record high 26.6 million bales.
For the coming year, NCC yield assumptions combined with average abandonment would produce a crop of 18.9 million bales, down more than 4 million bales from last year. Despite the smaller crop, total supplies for the 2005 marketing year remain at roughly the same level as the current marketing year.
A larger gap projected between foreign production and consumption and increased imports by China both bode well for U.S. cotton exports in 2005, Adams said. "Our estimates indicate a rebound to 13.4 million bales, up from 12.7 million bales currently estimated for 2004." That would be the second highest export total ever.
U.S. consumption should exceed production in 2005, which would lead to a slight decline in stocks to 7.4 million bales, according to Adams. Those are still large stocks, however.
Meanwhile, the world total for 2005 production is estimated at 104.6 million bales, down 11 million bales from 2004 but still the second largest on record. The crop falls 2 million bales short of consumption of 106.4 million bales, which would lead to a reduction in stocks to 45.3 million bales.
"The figure is comparable to the late 1990s, and for stocks outside of China, is the second highest level ever, only behind ending stocks of the current marketing year.
"While a host of uncertainties can lead to major changes in the balance sheet, not the least of which is weather, the current estimates still leave us with a lot of stocks to work through the system," Adams said. "However, on the positive side, we now have a demand base that will quickly draw down stocks should the world crop fall below 100 million bales."

LONDON — With the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics still hours away and the torch relay making its way through the streets of this grand old city, there is still time for the U.S. Men's Senior National Team to take one last breath before the competition begins Sunday against France.
They ran through their pre-Olympic exhibition schedule like you might expect the loaded, defending gold medalists would — the 5-0 record and 27-point average margin of victory have to impress even the biggest skeptics.
You can take whatever side you want in the Dream Team vs. This Team debate, and Naismith knows everyone who cares at all about the game has weighed in at one time or another in the past few weeks. The fact remains that this is easily the strongest international contingent of talent a U.S. Olympic team will have to face.
There are six other current or former NBA All-Stars in the competition here — Spain boasts two (Pau and Marc Gasol), with Argentina (Manu Ginobili), France (Tony Parker) and Russia (Andrei Kirilenko) each boasting one of their own.
Twenty years ago, the Dream Team faced just five active NBA players on their way to gold (eight other players in that competition had played or would go on to play in the NBA).
The debate will have to wait anyway, since the current team has to first claim a gold of their own. And they'll be tested by teams like Spain, Argentina, Russia and Brazil, all of which possess more frontcourt size than the U.S. Team has.
No team, though, can go down the bench and find NBA All-Stars nine-deep; Tyson Chandler is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, James Harden is the reigning Sixth Man of the Year and the 12th man, Anthony Davis, was the No. 1 overall pick in last month's Draft.
The other decided advantage this current team has over its predecessors is a chemistry and cohesion born out of USA Basketball's structure since Jerry Colangelo took over as managing director of the program and Mike Krzyzewski assumed the coaching mantle after a dismal showing in the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony are making their third straight appearances in the Olympics and five players on this team are shooting for their second straight gold medal. The talk of playing together again in London began immediately after they won gold in Beijing four years ago. Five others are trying to find a match for their gold medals won at the World Championship in Turkey in 2010.
"These are guys I talk to just about every day," Chris Paul told reporters in Barcelona after the U.S. whipped Spain in their final exhibition game Tuesday. "I knew 'Bron wanted to do it. D-Wade wanted to do it, but his injury set him back. I knew 'Melo was in, so we've got one of those things where regardless what anybody says, once one or two of us commit to something, we're all in."
That's easier said than done when four of the five holdovers from the Beijing team (James, Anthony, Paul and Deron Williams) have changed addresses in the NBA since they were last together (only Kobe Bryant remains with the same NBA team).
But the opportunity for one last ride together, particularly as the 20-year anniversary of the original Dream Team is upon us, seems like a perfect way for this group that helped transform USA Basketball's culture to go out.
"I knew I wanted to play again in 2012," Paul said. "When I found it was London, all right, just let me know when, Coach."
