Hagstrom, Dr... Carl G. Burton,
Prof. Swan Engwall, Dr. K. J.
Karlson, Mr. H. Wyman Malmsten,

The Bethel quartet opened the
program with the singing of "All
Hail the _Power of Jesus Name",
this was followed by Prof. Engwall
reading the opening scriptures.
President Wingblade, the first
speaker. broke the ground in the
name of the trinity.
Dr. K. J. Karlson, in his humor-ous
manner stated that the pur-pose
of the new library was that
it was to be a place to accumulate
wisdom to prepare for the life
and work ahead of us. Dean C. E.
Carlson commented that the heart
of the conference is the school and
that the heart of the school is its
library. Mr. Malmsten recounted
the faithfulness of the consti-tuents
of Bethel and mentioned
that because of many people's
sacrifices it was possible to break
the ground for the new building.

Seminary Banquet
Seminary Juniors have been
busy this week preparing the de-corations
for the Seminary ban-quet
to be held at Lee's, Highland
Village on Tuesday, May 4. Arlene
Peterson is chairman of the Decor-ations
Committee, but all the mem-bers
of the class were enlisted
for two evenings during the week

Need Campus Director
of Religious Activity
Much stress has been placed upon increas-ing
Bethel's spiritual stature as its academic
and physical stature has increased. The key
word seems to be power. Let us have More
spiritual power. Let us be a powerful in-fluence
for Christ in our community—among
our churches. That is the challenge that is
repeatedly given us.
Reverend Carl Lundquist, through his
messages from God's Word during Deeper
Life meetings, has reassured us that we
can have power, and by God's grace this
power will be increasingly manifested
here one Bethel's campus.
With the spiritual power and resources now
available in the Christian students who want
to find usefulness, it becomes apparent that
a more satisfactory manner of harnessing this
power must be established. Some plan that
will enable us to use our spiritual power to
the best advantage should be devised.
At present the Religious council is doing
its best to direct the religious activities
on campus. Although it is overtaxed, its
leaders are working untiringly to channel
our efforts for the best results. In keeping
with a suggested increase in counseling
service, it would prove well worthwhile
to make sure of having full-time help in
religious activities. There is much left un-done
by the various committees under the
Religious council merely because those on
the committees cannot spend more time in
carrying out their duties. A Religious
counselor and activities director would
alleviate this problem, especially as it
confronts the Gospel team committee.
This Religious counselor could also act as
the campus pastor, to whom all could go
freely with their problems. As they plan their
life work in the light of increased spiritual
and academic knowledge while here at Bethel,
such counseling would prove invaluable to the
students. This counselor would afford the
students benefits parallel to those which they
receive from their academic counselor.
Sajaail etiquette
During the sixteenth century, one Thomas
Dekker took his quill in hand and penned
"The Gull's Hornbook" which has lived until
today mainly because of compulsory courses
in English literature. In this book Dekker
prescribes the rules by which the young men
of his day were required to live if they wished
to be the complete fools that evidently typifies
young men of all ages.
"The Gull's Hornbook", while still applic-able
in many instances, is inadequate to pro-perly
instruct the young men of today. For
when Mr. Dekker wrote his guide, Mr. Double-
It is an irrevocable fact that Bethel needs
a Christian service department. Such a depart-ment
would be primarily concerned with the
practical Christian service of the student.
We have reason indeed, to be thankful to
the Lord for the zeal and desire of our stud-ents
to be engaged in purposeful Christian
service. Yet we must not discount the fact
that zeal alone is not the only essential for
effective work. Many students have come to
Bethel with the intent of increasing the ability
to witness for the Lord while attending coll-ege.
Basically, the Gospel teams should serve
as the means toward that end. However, if
the Gospel teams are not in any manner, in-structed
and supervised, such means toward
a justifiable end are not always warrented.
It is beyond the scope of any student
or committee of students to adequately
oversee and instruct the personnel of
these teams. Many students feel a de-finite
burden, to do personal work and
yet they feel inadequate to the task. They
feel a definite need of concrete instruct-ion
which would facilitate there dealing
with the multitudinous types of people
which they encounter. Such a need, our
Conference has felt, and which has re-suited
in the instructional program headed
by Rev. Edward Nelson. Why not begin
such a program here, the nucleous of the
A department which would have as its ex-press
purpose, the instruction of concrete
practical Christian work would prove a bles-sing
not only to tthe individual student and
to our school itself but would result in "much
fruit" for the labor. And after all is not that
our purpose in life?
Mel Soneson, Chairman
Gospel Team Committee
day had yet to invent baseball, and the child
of that sport, softball, had yet to come into
its own. In the light of such a situation we
undertake here to set forth the rules for con-duct
for the spectators of such sports.
No advance preparation is needed for the
young man who intends to witness the sport-ing
contest, other than a careful check of all
vocal equipment.
He should arrive at the site of the game,
commonly called a diamond, before the game
starts. While waiting, he should shove and
push in an attempt to gain a seat on the
benches provided for spectators, and make
caustic comments about the delay of the game.
Once on the bench, he should save seats for
his roomate, friends, causual acquaintances,
enemies or total strangers. By doing this he
will increase the general confusion which is
always needed.
The judges, known as umpires, should be
considered the villains for the • afternoon's
entertainment. Comments such as "You want
my glasses?" and "Who let you out?" are
appropriate greetings.
The bright young man has a great .oppor-tunity
to display his originality and to become
well known about the institution if he can
conserve his voice until late in the contest.
At this time many others are hoarse and thus
his choicest remarks can be heard above the
roar of the crowd.
And if anyone should attempt to halt your
actions tell him that the first amendment to
the Constitution gives you the right to assem-ble,
to the freedom of speech, and to a re-dress
for greviances; and that by the four-teenth
amendment these privileges cannot
be deprived without due process of law.
While trying to get a scoop for this article,
the ceremony was started for the new library
building. I saw the scoop stuck in the ground
near the flag-pole, but before I could get at
it a bunch of people gathered around forming
a circle of curiosity. I joined. Pretty soon
some men in long coats and hats walked up,
grabbed the shovel and made some speeches.
Every speech had a dig in it. They said some-thing
about putting up a library building but
didn't mention how big it would be. Being a
library, it must be going to have plenty of
J-S Special: Just got a scoop on the menu.
The committee made the mistake of having
Elving Anderson on the advisory board and
look what we get: French fried angleworms,
stuffed pig eyes, jellied frog eggs, sliced dog
fish, shark gills, unhatched chick egg salad,
and formeldehyde tea. Of course we get a
Mistake number two. Russell Johnson bosses
the corsage committee. A few of the favorites
are: Mixed blue and green algae, Minnesota
stink weed special (for brunettes only),
thistle-dandelion deluxe, (no pin included with
this one), moss-fern ala shoulder, and poison
ivy. Place orders through Botany Dept. not
later than April 1st.
Many fellows would like to ask some girl
to the affair but are not sure just who hasn't
been asked yet. To simplify matters here's
a suggestion. All you girls that haven't been
asked yet and would like a date just: (1)
Smile at every fellow you think eligible, (2)
Wear a white ribbon on the right side of your
head and a light green one on the left (or
you will be), (3) Wear nylons every day to
class, (4) Walk, don't run (or like a nylon,
you'll be caught in a snag), (5) Have six
dollars in your hand at all times, (6) Open
tthe door for any fellow about to enter a build-ing,
(7) Buy a new car to furnish transportat-ion,
and of course, say "yes" when you are
asek for the date.
P. S. Fellows! If you still are in doubt, just
go to the table in the college hall and ask
who is still available.
Guess the committee asked for lates the
night of the J-S. Now why, after getting in on
time all year should the girls suddenly decide
they want to stay out at such a late hour.
What's wrong with getting in at 11 as per
usual. After all, if the girls don't take their
late during the week they will be able to stay
out until 12. And that's as late as it is pos-sible
to stay out, after that the next .day
starts. I'm sure everyone agrees with me on

THE CLARION Page II
Campus Opinion
Should Bethel as a four year
college include dramatics in their
Berge Hoogasian—Definitely yes.
For training in vocal variety there
is nothing like dramtics.
Carol Bergsten—I hardly think
so. For one thing, the demand for
such a course would be relatively
small in comparison to the demand
for, say maybe a good course in
education, business, speech or a
natural science. If there are any
students who want to major in
dramatics they can get it some-place
else than in "the house of
God." Oh ya, and where would we
get a dramatics teacher who is a
real Christian.
Everett Johnson—I haven't talk-ed
to anyone at Bethel who is that
interested in dramatics but I sup-pose
there are some. Religious
films seem to be a coining move-m
e n t just as the "Youth f o r
Christ" movement was. Someone
has to do the acting for these
films. It would be better to have
Christians fill this role rather than
the professional actors of Holly-wood.
We probably would guess
right on this subject by believing
this is a new Christian movement
and include dramatics to help furn-ish
actors for these religious films.
Jeanne Swanson—In considering
the successful part that dramatics
plays at Bob Jones College, I be-lieve,
Bethel would profit by a
course in it. It would not only
have culturp and recreational
value, but could be used to glorify
the Lord. It is evident, however,
that an advanced speech depart-ment
is more of a necessity at the
present time.
Prof. Royal Bloom—Yes. It con-stitutes
part of an all-round educat-ional
program. If we're going to
train individuals in broad areas,
dramatics should be included.
Pauline Pearson—It's a subject
that has two sides. Dramatics are
fun, and there are many values
in such training, such as poise and
expressiveness. Some of these val-ues
could be attained in some good
interpretative speech courses,
closely allied to dramatics. This is
a definite lack in the Bethel speech
dept. But the feeling has been at
other Christian colleges where dra-matics
is not offered that it is only
one step from that to the regular
theatre and that the values could
be attained in less controversial
ways. Both should be carefully con-sidered.
Paul Francisco—I can say from
five years experience in the Dra-matic
Society of a Brooklyn
church that nothing has helped the
physical side of preaching for me
as much as my practical experi-ence
in religious plays. The mini-ster
and the teacher and the mis-sionary
are often called upon to
illustrate their message by telling
parables, Biblical stories, and
relating personal experiences. In-struction
in dramatics enables you
to handle your voice and facial ex-pressions
to adequately portray the
incidents and characters you are
telling about.
Basketball Team
Holds Banquet
The Bethel basketball team cli-maxed
its successful season with
a dinner given in the dining hall
of the Bodein Residence on Wed-nesday
evening, April 21. Fifty
players and guests were present
to enjoy the excellent repast pre-
_pared by "Ma" Olson and her staff.
The program that followed in-cluded
the election of captains and
short, impromptu speeches by sev-eral
prominent guests. Coach Paul
Edwards gave a review of the past
season, thanking the team mem-bers
for their splendid efforts and
fine spirit throughout the season.
He also expressed high hopes for
the team's success next year as all
but two members will be return-ing
to school.
Kenny Greenman, the team's
high scorer and a member of the
All-Conference first team, was
chosen to servve as captain of the
varsity team for next year. The
"B" squad named Bud Johnson as
honorary captain for the past sea-son.
Greenman, Johnson, and Le-
Roy Sandberg, the varsity's retir-ing
captain, were called on for a
few words.
Coach Arch Skalbeck, who hand-led
the "B" squad, commented on
the fine, Christian manhood on our
campus and evpressed his appreci-ation
for the opportunity to associ-ate
with our school this past year.
Dean C. E. Carlson, a man who
has done much for athletics at
Bethel, concluded the program
with a short talk, stressing the
importance of athletics in a school
program and his hopes for an ever
widening program that will reach
and be of benefit to even more of
the student body.

Bethel SoFtball
Gets Underway
Intra-Mural softball made its
debut on to campus on April 13
with the blessings of the weather-man.
The warm, sunny weather
proved quite stimulating to team
#1, piloted by Ev Johnson, as
they shellacked team #2 by a 17
to 4 score. Team #2, captained
by Pete Welch, was overgenerous
in fielding, committing 18 errors
which played a large part in their
opponents scoring. Glader was the
winning picture and Vern Olson
the loser. Nels Nelson was the
batting star with a triple and two
singles. •
In the second league game play-ed
team #4 scored a run with
one out in the last of the seventh
to break a tie score and win the
ball game over team #3 by a 9
to 8 score. Roy Johnson and Cam-eron
Anderson engaged in a tight
pitching duel until the fourth in-ning
when each team exploded for
five runs. The winning pitcher was
Stan Peterson who relieved Ander-son
in the fifth, and the loser was
Roy Johnson.
In the last week's play team #1
came through again to win 13 to
7 over team #3. Scoring five times
in the first frame, team #1 coast-ed
along to victory. Winning pitch-er,
Hendrickson; losing pitcher,
Johnson. Highlight of the game
was a long homerun smash by Ev
The game scheduled for Thurs-day
between teams #2 and #4
was called off after two innings of
play because of rain. This game
will be played at a later date.
Girls Make a Hit
In SoFt6all Games
Girls' softball has proven to be
a popular sport on the campus
these days as evidenced by the
turnouts on Wednesday afternoons.
Between 20 and 30 girls have been
out for the games, while a goodly
number of the male population
have been on hand to cheer. Scores
have been high, but everybody has
fun; so don't forget, Wednesday
afternoons at 3:00 p.m., Girls' Soft-ball!
Playing their first match of the
season under the handicap of an
extremely short practice period,
the Bethel tennis team came
through in great style last Satur-day
'afternoon as they tied River
Falls State Teachers College, three
matches each with one tie.
In the opening singles match
McKinnon of Bethel breezed
through the first set, 6-0, and came
through with some difficulty in the
second set, 8-6. River Falls won
the next match with Healy topping
big Johnny Porcella in three sets,
6-2, 3-6, 6-1. In the third match
Jim Rhenberg took the first set
with ease, 6-2, but he unfortunately
turned his ankle and was forced to
give way, 3-6 and 2-6, in the last
two sets to lose.
Walter Eddy came through with
a win over Fleming in three sets,
6-2, 4-6, and 6-3. Then Milton Berg
gave Bethel a 3-2 edge in singles
with a win over Jennings, 8-6 and
In the doubles Bolfanz and Gal-lagher
defeated Balz and Porcella,
6-2 and 6-3. The last match of the
day was called because of dark-ness
after two sets with scores
of 7-5 and 4-6.
Indians Lose 3 - 1
In League Opener
Last week the Indians' baseball
team opened its league schedule
by losing a close ball game to
Luther Junior College, 3 to 1, on
a soggy field at Como Park. Kenny
Greenman took the mound for
Bethel and pitched a masterful
game. Allowing but five hits, Green-man
displayed good control by
striking out six men and giving
only two walks. He also drove in
his team's only run with a crash-ing
double in the first ining.
The Indians held on to their slim
edge until the sixth inning when
Degner opened with a triple for Lut-her.
He then came in to score on an
infield out. In the ninth Luther
scored twice on a walk, two sing-les
and a couple of errors, and this
gave them the victory as the Ind-ians
went out in order in their
holf of the ninth.
The winning pitcher was Koland-er
who besides striking out 14 men
came through with two of his
team's five hits.

Last year a national young
men's magazine surveyed the sum-mer
job field, and predicted that
one million vacation-time positions
would be filled by students. A
recently - published government
census revealed that the actual
figure came to about 1,001,900.
This year that same maga-zine—
Varsity — has surveyed
the field again, and predicts
twice as many jobs will be
available during the summer
months of '48.
In an article that tells how and
where to get these jobs, Varsity
splits the vacation employment
field into seven categories: self-employment,
governmental \work,
sports and entertainment, summer
camps, industry, and service and
According to the article in the
current issue, the first two Job
categories offer some of the best
opportunities in summer work.
Jobs are open in three branches
of the Department of the Interior
—in the Geological Survey divis-ion
(for field assistants) ; in the
Fish and Wildlife Service (as re-fuge
and hatchery laborers) and in
the Bureau of Reclamation (for
engineering aids, survey aids,
draftsmen and soil specialists.)
Numerous other positions are open
in the National Park Service, and
in hotels, restaurants, and conces-sions
at these parks.
In each of the job divisions
listed, Varsity Magazine points
up the outstanding positions:
in Transportation, for ex-ample,
there are airline pas-senger-
relations jobs available.
In the Summer Camp field,
public and settlement camps
often give jobs to inexperienc-ed
applicants—although they
pay less.
Job counselors interviewed by
Varsity Magazine, however, almost
unanimously suggested a wide-open
field for self-employment
the small, one or two-man day-camp.
As these authorities point
out in the April issue, no capital
is needed—little practical experi-ence
is necessary—and when the
venture is operated intelligently,
returns are good. But—in this
field, as in the others—' opportuni-ties
are going fast. So—act to get
your job now!

Rent a large raft and float the beautiful Missouri river.
|Take the route that Lewis and Clark took over 200 years ago. Stop at the sights and historic markers where they had stopped. Pull up on sand bars and throw out a fishing line or enjoy your lunch. Go for a full or half day. Missouri River Excursions is located in Defiance, Mo., where the shuttle service can take you to New Haven, Mo., or Washington, Mo., and float to Klondike Park. We provide a comfortable shuttle to drop off and pick up. You can also choose to float from Weldon Springs to St. Charles.
You may have heard from many of your friends and family that have already experienced the fun of a Missouri River Float Trip. You may have even already completed a few yourself. Float trips are a big part of recreational activities, when it comes to the Missouri River. Friends love getting together to fish, camp, have fun, and just lazily float along the river.
Whether you are new to float trips and would like to take half a day to explore just a few miles, or you are looking for an adventure that lasts for a few days, you are bound to make memories that last a lifetimes. Rafting is a great choice if you prefer just relaxing in comfort, they are also great if you have a whole group of friends that you are taking the trip with.
From campsites to hotels, we can help you find the perfect place to rest your head at night. No matter what time length you are looking to hire a raft for, and what type of experience you are hoping for, here at Missouri River Excursions, we can help you plan a float trip that will leave you wishing you could stay out there forever.
Our two and three day float trips are custom made for our Lake Saint Louis MO friends. You can stay in bed and breakfasts or hotels in small river towns, or camp on the banks of the Missouri river. We will set up per your wishes. Longer trips are available.
We offer guided fishing trips with expert fisherman who grew up on the Missouri river. These guides know all the good fishing holes and creeks. Guides may be available by request for float trips.

iPhone Wants and Needs
iPhone Wants and Needs
Navigating the virtual keyboard is much easier on the wider screen, and the e-mail, SMS, Notes and Calendar applications would be that much better with landscape support.
iPhone Wants and Needs - 2. Missing Applications
I want the ability to edit or create documents, to browse for files or documents, and to save data just like a USB drive.
iPhone Wants and Needs - 3a. Lightweight DataSync Application
Requiring the full iTunes application with its four processes and need for 75 MB of memory is almost criminal. Give us a small tool so we can sync our calendar and contacts from a second computer.
iPhone Wants and Needs - 3b. DataSync Service
In the absence of a lightweight sync tool, allow customers to sync Outlook-based calendars and contacts to the .mac service, and create a way to synch iPhone applications with .mac. Id pay a couple bucks a month for that service.
iPhone Wants and Needs - 4. Better WiFi Security
Throw in some 802.1x and PEAP support so we can join a tightly secured wireless network, IT gods permitting.
iPhone Wants and Needs - 5. EDGE Radio Controls
I can turn the WiFi radio off individually. Why not the EDGE radio?
iPhone Wants and Needs - 6. Better Accessories
I need a case that has a place to store the earbuds. Wrapping the cord around an iPod was OK, but now its my phone and sometimes I need to get to it quickly. And come to think of it, those earbuds dont fit me well at all.
iPhone Wants and Needs - 7. Ringtones
OK, theres a hack out there for this. But I dont want to have to hack my phone just to make ringtones from my own music.
iPhone Wants and Needs - 8. Battery
Having to ship the unit back to the factory to get a new battery is bad enough, but the rental fee for a temporary replacement iPhone is exorbitant. Work out a deal with AT&T so customers could rent a generic device, with a minimal cost built into the bat
iPhone Wants and Needs - 9. Voice Dialing
To get in compliance with hands-free driving laws, voice-activated dialing is a must.
iPhone Wants and Needs - 10. Bluetooth File Transfer
The Bluetooth radio is pretty limited compared to, er, every other device out there. Solve problem #2, and then this will be more critical.

"Nothing helps scenery like ham and eggs." — Mark Twain
Although some of this author's suggestions may go "against the grain" of our more nutrition-conscious readers, his article contains information that should help anyone plan and prepare better and less expensive camp meals ... even if Mr. Coburn does hint at a fondness for — heaven help us! — fruit-flavored "chocolate" chips.
The main thing I ask of backpacking food is that it taste good. I don't object to sound nutrition, but flavor comes first after a day of hiking. I'll admit I'm opinionated, but there's no room around my campfire for folks who think textured vegetable protein tastes "almost like beef," or that carob bears any more resemblance to Tobler's chocolate than I do to Burt Reynolds.
Personal preference aside, there are many factors that have to be taken into consideration when deciding which foods to pack along on a hike. In addition to palatability, you must think about heft and bulk, ease of preparation, and — the Big One — cost. In an effort to weigh all those variables and come up with the best backpacking meals for the least expense, let's begin by surveying the different products offered by the purveyors of specialty camp foods.
Trail Food Survey
Freeze-dried foods — let's admit it — aren't all bad. Orange and grapefruit juice crystals, for example, are usually tastier than Tang. And some of these packaged dinners even taste sort of like food. Furthermore, there are times when freeze-dried meals offer some real advantages: For winter treks, preparation speed alone is reason enough to opt for this sort of grub; and on hikes lasting more than, say, ten nights, every ounce of weight you can save will likely be considered cheap at any price.
Of course, most of the average backpacker's outings don't last ten nights. And it's extravagant to eat expedition-style when the trip could be provisioned better, and less expensively, from your pantry and the supermarket.
Retort meals are a newer wrinkle. Initially developed for the long-distance outings of NASA astronauts, these meals are precooked main courses, sealed in foil pouches, that keep without refrigeration. To prepare a retort meal, you simply dunk the pouch(es) in boiling water for about five minutes. Retort food is easier to prepare, requires no utensils other than a spoon or fork (if you don't mind eating out of a pouch), has better texture, and retains more nutrients than freeze-dried food. On the other hand, it's heavier, and one portion isn't much of a feast for most outdoor appetites.
I've tried several offerings each from two of the leaders in the field—Kraft a la Carte and Yurika brands. Kraft's retort meals weigh in at a uniform 9.4 ounces, which includes a starch in a separate, water-permeable pouch (picture a big tea bag full of rice or noodles). They cost $2.07 at my neighborhood supermarket. Yurika's main dishes weigh 7.5 to 10 ounces each and cost $3.25 at my local camper's supply outlet.
Kraft's retort dishes not only are less expensive than Yurika's but, I think, are better seasoned as well. They certainly have better texture. For example, the water chestnuts in Kraft's sweet-and-sour chicken have real crunch, while I can seldom tell where Yurika's vegetables end and the sauce begins.
Overall, then, I vote for Kraft over Yurika, for retort meals over freeze-dried ... and for moving on to more tasteful subjects.
Let's review a hiker's typical eating day. Think of this as the outline you'll be filling in as you plan and shop for trail meals.
Trail Breakfast
When a long hike is pending and you're eager to break camp and hit the trail, preparation and cleanup time usually limit breakfast options. For an appetizer there's dried fruit, dried fruit rehydrated overnight, or juice from crystals. For a main course you can choose either quick-cooking (or presoaked) hot cereal, cold cereal, or something from the granola-bar family. For a hot beverage you have about the same choices as at home.
On days to be spent in camp (or when short hikes permit late starts), there's time for slow-cooking cereals, pancakes, or biscuits. Since most hikers prefer death to powdered eggs, many take enough fresh eggs and bacon for the first few days.
Trail Lunch
There are two schools of thought concerning on-the-trail lunching: One school advocates nibbling off and on all day rather than eating a "real" lunch, while the other prefers taking a lunch break as well as nibbling off and on all day.
Most lunchers have yet to find anything better (or lighter) than no-cook meats such as salami and sardines complemented by cheese and crackers or bread — unless it's peanut butter and crackers. Popular luncheon desserts include nuts, candy, cookies, dried fruit, or gorp (trail mix). Beverages include water. For reasons that baffle culinary psychologists, most hikers tire less of these simple menus than of all camp dinners combined.
While some backpacking books advocate a soup lunch, I have rarely seen anyone preparing a cooked midday meal in summer. Doing so would just involve too much fuss. Winter is another story, though. Even folks who limit cross-country ski treks to one day find that midday soup (or at least a hot drink) is worth the trouble.
Trail Dinner
Most respectable camp dinners start with soup and end with a simple dessert and a beverage. The soup brightens spirits and holds starvation at bay while the main course is cooking. Soup also helps hikers replenish their body fluids — which is especially important in parts of the West, where the typically dry air evaporates body moisture rapidly.
Viewed broadly, main courses follow a single pattern: An expandable, fast-cooking starch is blended with (or served under) a mixture of meat and such enhancements as vegetables, sauces, spices, and toppings.
In fact, you can map out a main-course planner on one page. Split the sheet into three or four columns. Head one column "Starches" and another "Meats." Either lump the rest together as "Flavorings" or give "Vegetables" a separate column. If you can list ten items in each of three columns, you'll have 1,000 combinations, not counting those that use two foods from the same column. Of course, many of these wheel-of-fortune combos will be real gaggers (imagine fried-rice-style Rice-A-Roni with tuna and chili powder), but you'll also have hundreds of real possibilities.
Dinner desserts include the lunch varieties, plus instant puddings and other easily prepared sweets (such as no-bake cheesecake).
Notice that I've not presented any detailed menus, but only broad guidelines for getting better —and better-tasting — backpacking meals for your money. Along the same lines, I offer the following nine hints for planning better, cheaper trail meals.
Hint 1: Analyze Your Trip
Every outing presents its own culinary opportunities and limitations. Smart cooks plan precisely — day by day, meal by meal — for the trip at hand. So before you shop, ask yourself questions like these:
How many days? If several strong backs will be dividing the load for a weekend trip, you needn't worry much about weight. (You could probably haul cast-iron pots without undue strain.) On the other hand, on summer one-nighters I often go without a fire. I simply dine on no-cook foods and stream-chilled beer, and wake myself up with a walk instead of caffeine.
Nutritional balance is important on long trips (you may even want to include vitamin pills). But for short outings, diet is a matter of choice; after all, you could survive three days on nothing but Fritos and water without seriously threatening your health — though I can't imagine anyone wanting to.
Unless every ounce counts, carry enough fresh foods for the first day or two on the trail. Frozen steaks will thaw as you hike. Carrots and other sturdy vegetables will keep fine for the second day's lunch. So will hard-boiled eggs. In your pack's cool center, leftover home-cooked meat should keep well for the second night's dinner. Tightly wrapped smoked ham should keep until the third night or longer.
Will you have lazy days in camp? Will you build fires? Foods that need lengthy soaking before or during cooking (beans, lentils, regular brown rice, etc.) are fine for in-camp days and wood fires, but they won't do for fast meals after hikes or for trips when you must carry and ration stove fuel.
Will you be cooking at high altitudes? If the answer is yes, then forget about dining on anything requiring beans, because the dried legumes simply won't rehydrate. The higher you climb, the more slowly all starches and cereals will cook. And because of the lower temperatures at high altitudes, cereals left to soak overnight may turn into whole-grain Popsicles — even in summer.
Will water be in short supply? If so, choose your dinner starches from among those that require little more liquid for cooking than the small amount they'll absorb. Forget pasta.
How about wild foods? If you're in an area that lends itself to foraging, a copy of Lee Peterson's A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants (Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, 1978) and a break-down spinning or fly rod can be worth three times their weight in processed and packaged meat and vegetables. Of course, don't ever eat a plant if you have the least doubt about its identity. (After a few seasons' worth of foraging experience, you'll probably have enough sure identifications locked in your head to make the book optional.)
Hint 2: Loot Your Larder
A backpacking trip is the perfect time to make use of home-dried garden produce. Dehydrated vegetables will glorify any trail dinner (most hikers come home craving green stuff). Hiking also presents a good opportunity to use such homemade treats as jerky, your pet granola mix, candies, and sturdy cookies. (A tip on packing homemade granola bars: Overbake them a little. Crispier bars are lighter and hold up better in jouncing packs.)
Be sure to prepare your own gorp; store blends always leave out at least one thing you love. But keep in mind that a trail mix you enjoy at home may be lousy for the trail: I like sunflower seeds, but I don't like the way they jiggle down to the bottom of the gorp bag during a hike.
And (again) remember that on short trips you can tote heavier food. I know a cook who is famed for her Spaghetti à la Backpack. Her sauce tastes home-canned ... because it is. In camp, she produces it from the one Mason jar she totes along on each trip. (On other jaunts, the jar might hold a whole deboned chicken.)
Hint 3: Never Pay Boutique Prices for Market Food
There are two differences between the Mountain Macho Backpacker Blend-type soup mixes sold at camping-specialty outlets and Knorr-type supermarket soup mixes: [1] Knorr tastes better, and [2] Knorr is cheaper. Likewise, no Packer Cracker from the camping boutique is better than Triscuits. (IBM is said to be doing research to determine why Triscuits break so little when slept on.) And no designer-priced Camper Cookies are as tasty as plain-Jane Oreos ... let alone Pepperidge Farm ... let alone homemade.
And if circumstances demand that any meat you carry be freeze-dried, you can still save money by buying only the meat and adding your own starches and flavorings.
Hint 4: Treat Yourself Kindly
When Colin Fletcher ambled the length of Grand Canyon, each of his air-dropped food packets included one gourmet goody. Take a lesson from The Man Who Walked Through Time, and pamper your own wilderness stomach. Remember, almost anything short of caviar is a bargain when compared with freeze-dried grub.
To stave off culinary boredom, carry the best meat you can afford. If I know I'll have to lunch all week on salami, it will be the tastiest Italian variety I can find. And my cheese sure won't be processed American when it can be provolone or New York cheddar.
You can splurge on beverages and still not spend a lot. Instant tea doesn't belong in camp, because it tastes nasty; carrying your favorite bagged tea won't sprain your shoulders. Since brewed coffee is usually too much trouble, treat yourself to good instant coffee — your pet brand, a gourmet type you've been hankering to sample, or even one of the continental-style flavored coffee mixes.
And while you're blending your gorp, why not make it a gorp fit for royalty? (You never know whom you'll meet out there.) At home I eat peanuts. When I'm making trail gorp, I buy cashews.
Hint 5: Two Cautions
Before you hasten off to turn the hood grocery store into your safari supplier, two warnings are in order:
Read labels carefully. Be sure the cooking time won't take more fuel than you can spare. And check those "just add" ingredients: Any thing that says "just add two eggs" is a bad bet if you're going to be five days from the nearest hen (unless you know for a fact that the eggs aren't essential). Brand differences matter too: Some brands of "quick" rice are quicker than others; some gingerbread mixes don't need an egg.
Perform your big experiments at home, not on the trail. Don't attempt your very first cake in a fireside reflector oven. Likewise, if you're a Mexican-food innocent, don't plan to have your first brush with jalapeno destiny halfway up Mt. Whitney.
Hint 6: Keep in Mind What You're Shopping for
Backpacking demands lightweight foods that taste good, keep without refrigeration, are quick and easy to prepare, and dirty a minimum of utensils. Consider only those realities, and forget any notions about "what backpackers eat."
It's all a matter of attitude. For instance, the person seeking trail food finds little good bread. So much of it is bulky, crushes easily, and goes stale fast. But the alert shopper heads for the delicious section and finds lots of cocktail ryes and firm, European-style pumpernickels. Such breads are ideal pack fare. But to even consider them, your mind's eye must be focused to see that "party food" can also be camp food.
Search the supermarket for light, quick-fix foods that keep well. Ask yourself how long each dairy product will hold up. Hard cheeses keep better than soft, but a wax coating or foil wrap matters more than the type of cheese. If you bake, try using powdered buttermilk.
What about condensed mincemeat for desserts? If you've got the space, how about popcorn balls? And remember that "chocolate" chips come in butterscotch, peanut butter, and fruit flavors, too.
Notice all the canned meats, gourmet varieties included. Summer sausage (often sold as "beef stick") keeps well. So does pepperoni, and a few ounces of it will ignite lots of spaghetti. Salami that's left over from lunch can also be used to add zest to pasta dishes.
After you've scoured the grocery, take your well-sharpened eyes to health food and gourmet stores, and even ethnic food shops. (One small-town-based backpack chef I know will endure a day in the Big City just to raid a certain Chinese market's treasury of dried mushrooms and seafoods.)
Finally, keep your eyes peeled. Wise old camp cooks are ever alert. Even when browsing through cheese catalogs for possible Christmas gifts, they pounce on anything that might jazz up next summer's camp cooking.
Hint 7: Welcome to Starch Trek
For the frequent packer, the discovery of one new starch is more blessed than three other finds. The pasta and rice, Hamburger Helper, and dried-potato sections are only the first places in the supermarket to look. Did you remember Japanese ramen and Chinese chow mein noodles? Quick-cooking barley?
A friend steered me to couscous — semolina wheat in granular pasta form. The Near East brand is ready to eat in five minutes. Look for it in the gourmet section. (And while you're there, look for spaetzle—little German noodles.)
Health food stores are laden with pastas and grains. I'm addicted to bulgur (parched cracked wheat); perhaps you feel the same about kasha (buckwheat groats) or millet.
For fun, see if you can find one starch that isn't in any obvious store section. (My friend with the Mason jar sometimes goes camping with Stove Top stuffing mix. Why didn't I think of that?)
Hint 8: Spice It!
Seasonings are the lightest trail foods and among the most versatile. A clever seasoner can overcome many of the pack kitchen's limitations. (For instance, when preparing soups, a few dried mushrooms and a sprinkle of marjoram can make quite a difference.)
Seasonings also include bacon bits and other salad toppings; poppy, sesame, and other seeds; flavored crumbs and croutons; bouillon cubes and soup mixes; and all those foil packets of sauce mixes, taco spices, marinades, and gravies.
Grated Parmesan (or Romano) cheese is a superb trail food. It travels perfectly for weeks and will drive the drab out of countless main courses and soups.
Another must-have seasoning is Squeeze Parkay (or a similar liquid margarine). Many main courses require some form of oil, and most can use a bit of a flavor boost, too.
Dessert? No one ever called instant chocolate pudding the high point of a gourmet meal, but it's better when you add malted milk powder or, perhaps, a little instant coffee.
Drinks? Try cinnamon or another sweet spice in tea, coffee, or cider mix. Take miniature marshmallows for cocoa.
Breakfast? If you've brought along instant oatmeal that's been "customized" and prepackaged with chopped dates, banana chips, raisins, brown sugar, and powdered milk, you'll have a cereal worth crawling out of the sleeping bag for.
Hint 9: Be Adaptable
When you select foods that will allow you to eat a whole dinner from a Sierra cup, you're making a sensible adjustment to camp dining. Keep looking around for other smart adaptations.
Try presoaking grains and hot cereals. For dinner, you needn't cook bulgur at all. Instead, make tabouli salad by mixing bulgur with dried vegetables and spices, pouring boiling water on top, and letting it sit for an hour.
Never reject a food idea because you won't be able to add some suggested frill, such as browning the dish on top after it's cooked. And unless the idea of pressing graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of your Sierra cup excites you, spread the crust mix over your no-bake cheesecake.
If you don't like messing with a reflector oven, keep in mind that many baked goods can be prepared pancake-style in a skillet. (So what if your gingerbread comes out looking weird? You want it to taste good, not to grace the cover of Bon Appetit.)
Just Like Home Cooking? Dream On!
Show me folks who swear they eat better on the trail than at home, and I'll show you folks whose dinner invitations you'll want to decline. The cold reality of trail eating is that a camp stove is not a range, a backpack is not a refrigerator, and science has yet to find a way to dehydrate Caesar salad, leg of lamb, or bourbon on the rocks.
Nevertheless, by planning carefully and shopping creatively, you can make your camp meals more enjoyable to prepare and eat, you'll have extra traveling money jingling in your hiking shorts ... and the camping boutiques and designer trail-food manufacturers will be left holding the foil bags.

Homeland, ya heard? If you haven't heard, I'm here to let ya know: It's a pretty awesome show. I mainlined the entire first season, which you can now get on DVD, last week. Goodness. It's a lot of fun. I describe it as, basically, "If 24 has been an actually good show."
That perhaps undersells it. Anyhow, there's a reason this show won a ton of Emmys last year—it is high quality! Also of high quality is this epic supercut of Claire Danes making her amazing cryface.
Do you watch Homeland? Are you a fan? (Let's do good spoiler warnings in the comments, please.) Do you think this season is better, or worse than the first season? Do you agree that it has the most clusterfucky opening credits of all time?
Feel free to discuss Claire Danes, crying, My So-Called Life, or whatever else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good chatting, and be vigilant.

Expert Dental Tips
Expert Dental Tips:
1. Regular dental exams are a necessary part of your total health care regime. Infection and bacteria in the mouth can affect the health of your entire body. Semi-annual check ups will monitor tooth decay, gum disease and early detection of oral cancer. Preventing and treating gum disease in its early stages are the best ways to keep your smile healthy. Think of good oral care as part of a healthy lifestyle.
2. X-rays are a necessary addition to your dental treatment plan in order to gather pertinent information regarding your oral health. The radiation dose that a person incurs from a series of dental x-rays is significantly less than an airplane flight from NY to LA, indicating the benefits out weigh the risks one my have concerning radiation dosage.
3. Energy drinks and sports drinks have a higher acidity than regular soft drinks and fruit juices, causing irreversible damage to enamel, which is the glossy outer layer of teeth. These drinks have additional citric acid which adds the tartness desired by consumers. For strong, decay-resistant teeth, our bodies need protein, vitamins and minerals (especially calcium, phosphorus and proper levels of fluoride).
4. Do you suffer from headaches, earaches, tenderness of the jaw muscles or dull, aching facial pain? Any of these symptoms may indicate that you are clenching or grinding your teeth in your sleep. The muscles and joints may not function properly, resulting in cycles of pain and spasm. Being fitted for a night-guard may help alleviate these symptoms and can also protect your teeth and the jaw joint.
5. Bleeding gums are not normal! Gums should not bleed upon brushing. If they are, this could be a sign of gingivitis or periodontal disease, which is caused by the bacteria in plaque, a sticky, colorless film that forms on your teeth. The plaque bacteria have toxins that inflame the gums. You should visit your dentist to evaluate your oral health.
Defeating Dental Anxiety:
If you suffer from dental anxiety, you are not alone! It's been estimated that as many as 20% of Americans avoid going to the dentist due to fear and anxiety. It is often due to a previous traumatic experience at the dentist or embarrassment at having neglected their oral health. Whatever the reason, it's important to have a discussion with your dentist to let them know what your fears are so you can work together to find strategies that will help lower your anxiety and make it possible to get the treatment you need.
Sleep Apnea
Is your snoring a problem? Do you stop breathing at night? If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are having trouble with CPAP therapy, there is a more comfortable option. You may be a candidate for a clinically proven dental sleep appliance, which fits much like a hard night guard, allowing you a better nights sleep.
How To Improve Your Smile:
Ceramic veneers are a strong, durable and natural looking way to improve your smile. A small amount of enamel is removed from your front teeth to make room for the ceramic covering. Veneers can be used to straighten your smile, close spaces between your teeth or lighten naturally yellow or gray teeth that can't be whitened by bleaching.
Prevention is always better than treatment. Ask your dentist about a thin protective barrier placed on the chewing surface of your tooth called a sealant. It can put extra power behind your prevention routine.
Tooth Decay
Did you know tooth decay is the most common chronic disease in both children and adults? Follow these simple steps to reduce your risk: brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, floss at least once a day, avoid frequent snacks and sips of sugary drinks and make sure you see your dentist regularly.
• Ancient Greeks used pumice, talc, emery, ground alabaster, coral powder and iron rust as dentifrice. Fingers were used as toothbrushes.
• Apollonia – Patron Saint of Dentists
• The myth that George Washington's dentures were made from wood is untrue. They were actually manufactured from gold, hippopotamus tusk, elephant ivory and human teeth.
• In 1845 pacifiers were made from coral to expedite eruptions of the teeth in children.
• In the early 1980's, sealants began to be used. Sealants are a plastic material applied to chewing surface to act as barrier providing more protection against decay.
• The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery was founded in 1840 and was the first dental school.
• Cod liver oil was one of the first products to be awarded the ADA seal of acceptance in 1931.
Questions for the expert to answer:
• What age do I start bringing my child to the dentist?
• What is the difference between amalgam (silver) and composite (white) fillings?
• What is the difference between an implant and a bridge?
• How do I know if I have gum disease?
• Why is my cleaning more expensive than my spouse's?
• How much is too much fluoride?

Extreme volatility in cotton prices in 2008 not only hurt producer confidence in the futures market, but eventually led to a loss of 30 percent of U.S. merchandizing capacity, according to Gary Taylor, president and CEO of Cargill Cotton Co., in Cordova, Tenn., speaking at the 2009 Beltwide Cotton Conferences in San Antonio.
The volatility led to cotton merchants Paul Reinhart, Inc., filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and caused Weil Brothers to cease operations after 130 years in business.
Taylor said cotton merchants consider a price move of 20 cents to 25 cents during the season as an average move. When cotton prices swung nearly 70 cents from March to November, it was "highly disruptive" for cotton merchants and led to a confidence crisis in the futures market.
Most disturbing for cotton producers said Taylor was that they were not able to take advantage of March futures prices hovering close to a dollar a pound, "because merchants were unwilling or unable to help you price your cotton."
Taylor said several factors are responsible for the market disruptions including the advent of electronic trading – which has cost the market some stability – and increased activity from large market participants such as hedge funds and passive index funds.
"A futures market must not allow a large trader to control it," Taylor said of huge fund positions in early 2008. "And it must not become a cash market for any participants to dump cotton on the market. Delivery points are best located in neither producing nor consuming areas."
Taylor said that in mid-July, funds including Goldman Sachs and AIG had roughly $200 billion invested in the commodity markets. Today those positions have dropped to about $60 billion. "Some of that money was lost, but the majority was scared out of the markets."
Meanwhile open interest in cotton dropped from over 300,000 contracts in March 2008 to around 120,000 contracts today, "driven either by losses or lack of confidence."
Taylor said several factors need to be addressed to improve the cotton futures market.
Transparency – All participants must report positions on an aggregated basis (total cash, futures and over-the-counter transactions). "At the present, hedge funds are not required to report."
Speculative limits – "We need to support the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to withdraw the requests for increased position limits for speculators."
Daily trading limits – "We need to support current daily trading limits and ensure these limits are the basis for daily fluctuation margin calls."
Taylor says that one factor less likely to affect the cotton market as it has the wheat market and others is the lack of convergence of futures prices and cash prices. "What makes commodity markets work is that relationship between cash prices and futures prices," Taylor said. "The cotton market does have adequate, well-located delivery capacity to allow convergence."
The futures market has unique objectives for each of four categories of market participants, noted Taylor:
Producers – To seek protection against falling prices which can threaten profit margins.
Commercial trade such as processors, merchants, refiners, etc. – To seek protection against rising prices which can threaten profit margins.
Speculators such as local traders and hedge funds – To seek price risk exposure to generate trading profits and deliver returns to investors.
Passive index funds, which refer to relatively new participants such as pension funds, endowments, mutual funds and retail investors – Their goal is to seek protection against rising prices (inflation) and diversify portfolios into assets that historically tend to perform well when other assets do not.
Three things attracted the passive investor in 2008, according to Taylor. Investors seeking protection as expected inflation rates spiked; real commodity demand from China and India that increased global prices; and domestic monetary policy which caused weakness in the U.S. dollar.

HOUSTON, Texas - MIT's men's swimming and diving contingent received more All-America performances from senior Craig Edwards and freshman Rastislav Racz on the final day of competition at the NCAA Championships on Saturday, as the Engineers powered to an 11th-place national finish. Edwards grabbed a fourth-place finish in the 200-yard backstroke, while Racz placed sixth in the 200-yard breaststroke.
Kenyon College won an unprecedented 28th consecutive national title, easily outpacing the other 54 scoring schools by amassing an incredible 570 points. Runner-up Denison University notched 351 points, while Emory University rounded out the top three with 318.
The Cardinal and Gray captured 108 points over the three-day competition and were edged out of the top 10 by the University of California at Santa Cruz in the final event. UC-Santa Cruz needed to win its consolation heat in the 400-yard freestyle relay to the leapfrog the Engineers into 10th-place, and it did just that, taking the top spot by a mere .04 seconds. The 18 points earned by the victory gave the Banana Slugs 110 - just enough to bump Tech out of the top 10.
It was another successful day of swimming for MIT, however, as both Edwards and Racz broke Institute records en route to All-America status.
Edwards, who entered the 200-yard backstroke with a seed time of 1:52.20 and a national-ranking of ninth, broke his own MIT mark in prelims, touching the wall at 1:50.34 to finish fourth. He then matched that finish in the finals, clocking in at 1:50.75 to earn 15 points and nab All-America recognition for the fourth time in three days.
Not to be outdone, Racz also earned his fourth All-America honor of the weekend in the 200-yard breaststroke. The first-year competitor entered the event with a season-best time of 2:05.07, placing him eighth in the national rankings, but bested himself by shattering the Institute record with a time of 2:03.04 to place him seventh in prelims. He then one-upped himself, touching the wall at 2:02.73 in the finals to notch a sixth-place finish and 13 points.
Before Racz, the school record in the 200-breast was 2:08.47, set by Matt Angle last year.
Freshmen Jeff Zhou and Luke Cummings also secured All-America recognition in two relay events earlier in the competition, meaning that every Tech swimmer at the championships earned the prestigious honor.
Head coach Dawn Gerken couldn't have been more proud of the way that her team swam over the course of the weekend, as well as the season as a whole.
"It was really a great way to end the season and the competition," she said of MIT's 11th-place finish. "For the three freshmen, it was a wonderful experience and a great start to their careers, while for Craig, it was a terrific end to a magnificent four years of swimming for our program."

Rates and vacancies trending doward; no significant construction ahead
San Diego's commercial real estate world limped along in the second quarter with some good news — lower vacancies, lower rates and little construction to swell the overbuilt market— Co-star Group reported Tuesday.
Office vacancies stood at 15.3 percent, down from the cyclical peak of 15.6 percent in the first quarter.
Retail vacancies were unchanged at 5.5 percent over the same period, and absorption was virtually unchanged, having slowed considerably from a big decrease in the third quarter, followed by a big increase in the fourth quarter of last year.
Industrial space also saw no change in at first-quarter vacancy rate of 11.1 percent. With little job and business growth, construction is dead in the water and will be for the next year, the report says.
One interesting observation Co-star passed along in the three reports for midyear 2010 was that the historic gap for some key measures is narrowing between the San Diego and national commercial market.
For example, the capitalization rate on local retail approached 10 percent, compared with less than 9 percent nationally; historically, San Diego's cap rate has been lower than the nation's.
Since the cap rate is the ratio of operating income to sales price, that indicates investors in local retail projects stand to gain more income here than elsewhere.
Some other high points in the reports (million square feet abbreviated as msf):
110.6 msf in 5,333 buildings
Net absorption of vacant space rose by 341,936 square feet, a reversal of the net 32,806-square-foot loss in absorption in the first quarter and 300,971 square feet vacated in the fourth quarter.(Net absorption measures the amount of space newly occupied after deducting vacated from occupied space. Negative absorption means more space was vacated than occupied.)
Top five markets and their vacancies:
- Carlsbad, 22.8 percent on 6.8 million square feet (msf)
- Downtown, 15.6 percent on 13.1 msf
- Kearny Mesa, 11 percent on 10.4 msf
- Mission Valley, 17.2 percent on 7 msf
- Sorrento Mesa, 18.7 percent on 8.3 msf
- University City/Golden Triangle, 22.4 percent on 8.1 msf
139.6 msf in 12,207 buildings:
Net absorption in the second quarter totaled 23,619 square feet, virtually the same as the 23,052 square feet in the first quarter. But both were far from the big increase in the fourth quarter of 378,250 square feet and the big decrease of 257,577 square feet in the third quarter. Net absorption is the amount of occupied space available in the market, after deducting vacated space from newly leased space. Negative absorption means more space was vacated than occupied. Vacancies varied by location, with North County having the highest rate of 8.3 percent on 32.2 msf and the north San Diego metro area had the lowest rate of 3.9 percent on 19.8 msf.
The rates by retail type were:
- General retail (free-standing, single-tenant buildings), 8,821 buildings with 57.4 msf: 4 percent
- Malls, 14 with 13.2 msf: 2.1 percent
- Power centers (big-box, stand-alone buildings with few if any specialty shops), 23 with 11.3 msf: 6.3 percent
- Neighborhood, community and strip centers, 1,202 with 56 msf: 7.7 percent
- Specialty centers (airport, outlet and themed), 10 with 1.5 msf: 3.7 percent
192.3 msf in 8,718 buildings
Absorption went from negative in the first quarter to positive in the previous three quarters. But there was no impact on overall vacancy rates. However, warehouses fared better than flex space, which is used for office, industrial and warehousing. Warehouse space in 6,925 buildings comprising 149.4 msf absorbed 288,233 square feet, while flex space in 1,793 buildings with 43.9 msf saw 349,368 square feet of negative absorption.
The five biggest industrial markets saw these vacancy rates in the second quarter:
o Carlsbad, 482 buildings with 13.6 msf: 14.7 percent
o Kearny Mesa, 668 buildings with 16.4 msf: 6.5 percent
o Mira Mesa and Miramar with 813 buildings and 18.1 msf: 10.8 percent
o Otay Mesa with 331 buildings and 15.2 msf: 22.7 percent
o Vista with 560 buildings and 13.3 msf: 9.6 percent

Remember why students should blog? Well I'm happy to announce that the third internship worked out and I start on Wednesday. Exact details won't be posted because of confidentiality issues, but suffice to say it's social media related.
To me the biggest value is to be thrown into the "real world" and see if the stuff I've been blogging about makes sense, or am I living in this dream from the outside looking in. Could be a harsh slap of reality, but better now than later.
The downside is that it's only six weeks (because I've committed the whole of July and half of August to my previous employer, MTV to work on the MTV Asia Awards held in Malaysia. That is going to be a blast!
However, rest assured the blogging here will not be changed in anyway. I definitely won't be blogging about work unless given express permission, and if I do, it will be fully disclosed. I might end up blogging less than normal because of work hours, but that's what RSS is for! (Don't know how to subscribe, here's my handy guide).
Finally, I want to thank everyone who's been reading, commenting or interacting with this blog in any way. This could be the best blog in the world (it's not), but if no one was reading it, it would be useful. So thanks for supporting me by reading, talking to someone else about me, attending Social Media Breakfast: Singapore. It's because of you that I landed this internship. So let me end this post with: thank you for reading

Day Two in the Boston area, we headed out of town to Salem. It was a a thirty minute drive from Boston. Of course, I wanted to go because of the famous 'witch trial' that took place here, but also, I was curious to see one of the first settlements. A lot of the Witch Trial sites have been turned into more commercial Halloweenish sites instead of historical buildings for sharing the stories of a town that got caught up in a lie that ruined the lives of so many in their town. We decided to opt out of most of these tours, but just like the Freedom Trail, there was a red line on the side walk that led us by some of the famous city sites and ports that told the story of the town. One of my favorite stops....the country's oldest candy store.
We also walked by the House of Seven Gables. We saw a little bit of blue sky here for the first time in two days.
There are two National Park sites, one is along the sea ports that welcomed in commerce once upon a time as the Boston area built up and blossomed...and eventually spilled over into the rest of America.
There was a memorial area for the victims of the witch trial. The entrance is stamped with the last words of the victims, all stating their innocence.
We only spent a few hours in Salem, but it was a pretty little town with a history to celebrate and learn from, before leaving we did grab lunch at a great little place called Custom House Rotisserie. I had yelped it before going and it had great reviews. You know what? All those reviews were right. I got my 'Thanksgiving' meal in the state that hosted the first Thanksgiving. The cornbread tasted like white cake. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. There are only two tiny tables inside, and a few more outside. We got there when it opened, so we were able to sit, but I would have done take out and found a spot to enjoy this food. The food was awesome, but the service put it over the top. If you are ever in the area. Go!
