I was on a blogger conference call with Senator John McCain this afternoon. Much of the conversation was about foreign policy, and McCain was stalwart as usual. I want to comment on two other aspects of the call.
First, McCain takes generally solid positions on domestic issues, but for the most part, he doesn't seem to want to distinguish himself on those issues. He was asked whether he would favor replacing the income tax with a consumption tax. His answer was that we need to reform the income tax, and he is open to the Fair (consumption) Tax, a flat tax, or some other solution. He said that he would support whichever such proposal a consensus could coalesce around.
Similarly, I was struck by the strong language about Social Security and Medicare in the speech in which McCain announced his candidacy, and asked him how he proposes to reform those programs. Again, McCain preferred not to offer anything specific, but said that he would appoint a high-level commission to make recommendations.
The problem with these approaches, of course, is that nothing is going to happen on these issues without Presidential leadership; as President Bush found, even with such leadership, nothing may happen. A majority is not going to spontaneously form around a flat tax, or a particular program of entitlement reform, etc. I infer from this that McCain will rest his case for the Presidency on foreign policy. On domestic issues, it seems that he will take a consistently conservative line (with the notable exception of campaign finance and maybe one or two other issues), but he won't make a serious effort to distinguish himself from the other candidates on those points.
My second observation is that in the conversations we've had with him, I find McCain to be an engaging and sympathetic personality. A lot of politics is about likability–just ask Hillary–and, for what it's worth, in the contacts I've had with him, I like McCain.
ONE MORE THING: McCain was asked about Mitt Romney's statement that he didn't think we should expend energy going after bin Laden (I'm paraphrasing). McCain responded that he doesn't normally comment on his rivals for the nomination, but would make an exception in this case because it is a national security matter. He said that he thought Romney's statement betrayed "naivete" because bin Laden is an important symbol in the psychological war against the terrorists. McCain cited approvingly the Israeli model, where, when someone harms their people, they will follow him to the ends of the earth to obtain redress. Or they used to, anyway.
On this one, I'm with McCain.

Paladin - For Protection, we do have plans to try and lower the value of haste relative to dodge and parry. We don't want to make haste terrible for paladins, but we agree that it's odd for it to be better than more traditional tank stats. It might require a nerf to Shield of the Righteous to do this, but our goal is not to nerf survivability overall. We just wanted to provide you some context if you see odd changes to tanking abilities.http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/7593740975?page=45#884
Yes, my friends, that is none other than GC uttering the N word. A little further on in the thread, GC is asked to explain his reasoning.
Again in the words of the Crab.
The game just isn't currently designed to support it. It creates potential problems such as: - A Prot paladin competing with a Frost DK or Ret paladin over gear, meaning there isn't enough DPS plate to go around. - A Prot paladin considering a tier set with dodge and parry on it to be "garbage" because it doesn't stack all haste. - A Prot paladin looking at a Ret 2pc set bonus that she normally wouldn't touch because now the stats aren't that bad either. In a world where tanking plate didn't exist or every loot system used the personal LFR one or 100% efficient reforging then it might work. We understand that having a lot of haste feels fun and visceral and is more dependable than dodge and parry. We'll try to come up with a solution that keeps that in mind.Later he thread he further clarifies
We knew haste would be attractive to Protection when we gave them Sanctity of Battle, which only Retribution had previously. That's why we gave them Sanctity of Battle. Even if you have a tanking set with no haste, there are haste buffs in the game. We wanted all the tanks to benefit somewhat from what were traditionally DPS stats, since part of the active mitigation design was to make tanks care more about hitting things with sword (and claws). It only gets to be a problem, as I said previously, if dodge and parry (which are going to be on some gear) are perceived as pointless. (They aren't pointless, but that's really beside the point at this stage.) We aren't going to reitemize every plate piece in the game to remove dodge and parry. We also don't want to nerf haste for paladins, because it is fun, and for the most part working as intended. We don't have a solution yet that we're willing to share, but that's the intent.
GC was asked on Twitter what this change meant for active mitigation.
We think active mitigation is more fun. Just need to decide what to do about dodge and parry long term.
He was also asked how they missed this in Beta.
@Ghostcrawler no offense, but you guys knew about Haste and Prot Paladins since well before live.
Re: @Zackfig At the time we thought it was an undergeared problem because dodge doesn't matter when failing a dodge kills you. Re: @Zackfig We still sort of suspect that's the problem but it's become such a mantra that it's worth changing anyway.
The first important takeaway is they haven't announced any actual changes yet. GC just wants to give us some context if we see some really weird changes coming to the PTR - which we certainly will. This is a classic 'softening the blow' strategy. In the highly unlikely event GC reads this blog, I would just want to say thank you for the heads up.
Why Tankadins LOVE Haste
Now let's look at why Tankadin's love haste so much, and what possible solutions there could be. Much of what I am going to share here comes from the Patch 5.2 discussion thread on Maintankadin (you didn't think I figured all this out on my own did you?) I especially need to recognize posters Klaudandus, Sagara, Fetzie, and Theck for their contributions.
Stat priorities can change from expansion to expansion. We rely on the theorycrafters, led by math wizard Theck, to help figure out what our stat priorities needed to be in MoP for us to be as effective tanks as we could.
The math (http://sacredduty.net/2012/10/05/damage-smoothing-follow-up/) led to the adoption of the Control gearing strategy. The strategy looks to maximize the uptime the Shield of the Righteous by making sure that none of your Holy Power generators ever miss. While this strategy leads to taking more damage over the entire course of the fight, it leads to far fewer spikes, and since spikes are what kill tanks, ultimately it leads to fewer tank deaths, and since tank death generally equals a wipe, it leads to less wipes.
The strategy says to get to the Hit cap and Hard Expertise cap (15%). After that, the advice was to go either Mastery or Haste. Haste and Mastery pretty much tied for effectiveness. Mastery is held back a bit because it is less effective in the double roll system (where a block is a separate roll).
Haste gives you an added benefit that Mastery doesn't Haste increases your DPS, and in a world with Vengeance, tanks do some decent DPS. It's enough that Haste became the go-to stat (after caps) especially for Heroic Mode raiders. Haste also allows us (at specific breakpoints) to get extra ticks from Sacred Shield.
Huzzah! The developers accomplished their goal. Haste is a desirable tank stat. The problem is it's too desirable. Tankadins like it better than the traditional tank stats of dodge and parry, so much so that a piece of gear with only dodge and parry (like Bracers of Six Oxen) is consider 'garbage'. Diminishing Returns are so strong on avoidance (dodge and parry) that even at low rating levels that the amount of avoidance you get per point simply isn't worth it.
Tanks really haven't been a fan of avoidance for about 3 expansion. Once upon a time, back in the olden days of 2009 tanks debated (quite fiercely, if I remember) about Avoidance versus Effective Health. The Avoidance tank would take less damage overall (what is now called TDR or Total Damage Reduction). The Effective Health tank would take more damage over the course of the entire fight, however; he would take smoother and more predictable damage. As long as you didn't run your healers OOM (out of mana) and become the so called Mana sponge, you were easier to heal and had a better chance of surviving the encounter (which, in the final analysis is really what tanks WANT to do).
Possible Solutions?
Again major kudos to the posters over at Maintankadin who have suggested a couple of possible solutions. Short term, the best place to reduce the value of Haste would be Sanctity of Battle (SoB), but the community didn't think that is what the Developers will choose to do. SoB was made available to Tankadins to give them a defensive benefit from Haste. The developers just didn't see that it would be such a huge benefit as to overshadow traditional tanking stats like Mastery, Dodge, and Parry.
I think we will see quite a bit of experimenting because the Developers have to be careful. By changing our gearing strategy, you are changing the gear we want. This isn't just a simple regem / reforge / heywheredidallmygoldgo. This is replacing several pieces of gear. Gear that might have been upgraded with Valor points. Yikes! Tread carefully, dear Crab.
If the Developers want Tankadins to value Avoidance, it needs to serve a niche. The niche it fills right now is TDR (total damage reduction). If tanks were mainly concerned with TDR, that would work. But right now its simply filling a niche no one cares about sort of like a hockey game on the night of the Super Bowl.
Assuming they don't want to simply nerf SoB, Avoidance could become more desirable by adding it to an active mechanic. Something along the line of Revenge. Grand Crusader would fit the bill well. It hits three targets like Revenge and it's already a proc. Simply make Grand Crusader proc off a dodge or parry. This would also help Tankadins AoE threat which seems a bit lackluster especially next to my Monk co-Tank.
There's another, longer term solution (and one I suggested back in 2009), but as this post is already too long, I will detail that tomorrow.

One of our very favorite books this year is A Whole Nother Story by Dr. Cuthbert Soup. It's the hilarious story of inventor Ethan Cheeseman and his three "smart, polite, and relatively odor-free" children. The family is on the run from thugs from various government agencies as well as some other nefarious mean guys and gals. These baddies are after a time travel invention the family hopes will help them bring back Mrs. Cheeseman who quite inconveniently kicked the bucket. Okay, so that's the plot, but it's completely unimportant. What is important is how fantastically funny this novel is. So read it already!!!
We'd like to welcome Dr. Cuthbert Soup to the Coop. And yes, we love how that rhymes!

I first saw Al Green perform live at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis in 1985. He had long since more or less abandoned soul music for the Church (he had bought the Full Gospel Tabernacle Church in Memphis and gone into preaching) and for gospel music. He was touring behind a newly released album of gospel music that he had recorded with producer Willie Mitchell, who had created the Al Green sound that brought him a string of hits between 1971 and 1976 unprecedented in Southern soul music history.
The performance was nevertheless a revelation to me. Hearing the raw power of Green's voice in person made it possible to understand how much a producer's artifact of imposed restraint — Mitchell called it "softness" — was the voice heard on the great Al Green hits. In person, Green had a voice of awesome power and incredible dynamic range, with full control from a whisper to a shout — just like the Sam Cooke of the Soul Stirrers' 1950's gospel recordings.
In his outstanding history Sweet Soul Music, Peter Guralnick describes it as follows:
Willie Mitchell and Al Green came up with an old idea phrased in a new way, the last eccentric refinement of Sam Cooke's lyrical, gospel-edged style as filtered through the fractured vocal approach of Otis Redding and the peculiarly fragmented vision of Al Green himself. This was a vision it would be virtually impossible to characterize…and it proved in the end to be incompatible with worldly ambition, but it was always marked by an unerring musicality.
Everyone in the audience that night in 1985 had of course come to hear some of those hits. Green's performance refused to accede in the slightest to the desires of his audience. Rather, he consciously toyed with and frustrated the desire of his audience to hear the beloved songs that had brought him fame and wealth. It was a weirdly hostile performance.
Last night Green returned to the Guthrie and gave one of the most fully satisfying performances I have ever seen. Playing with a band of ten musicians (drums and percussion, keyboards, horns and guitars), three backup singers and two dancers, Green put on an old-fashioned James Brown-style soul revue, but with gospel numbers and preaching included. The show ranged over his 35-year career in a seamless web of love and devotion.
The show maintained a pitch of incredible intensity from the opening number. But one emotional high point came in the middle of his 80-minute set when he launched into a deeply moving "Amazing Grace" (the hymn Sam Cooke had worked into his magnificent version of "Must Jesus Carry the Cross Alone" with the Soul Stirrers) that concluded with a vamp on the old Sam Cooke show-stopper, "Nearer My God." Green climaxed the show with a long, hot version of "Love and Happiness" and declined to take the stage for an encore. The man remains something of an enigma.
Jon Bream of the Star Tribune accurately previewed Green's show this past Friday in "Soul salvation: Al Green straddles the sacred and sexual worlds." If you can see the show on Green's current tour, don't miss it. It's an uplifting event that puts a little love in your heart. Above is a recent photo of Green in performance very much as he looked last night.

Avoid Plagiarism
What is Plagiarism?
American Academic Community
New research is always based on other scholars ' previous research …
Research ethics: respect and give credits to others ' research …
(See Yale or Dartmouth for examples)
Definition of Plagiarism
Derived from the Latin word plagiarius ( "kidnapper"), plagiarism refers to a form of cheating that has been defined as "the false assumption of authorship: the wrongful act of taking the product of another person's mind and presenting it as one 's own" (Alexander Lindey, Plagiarism and Originality [New York, Harper, 1952] 2). Plagiarism involves two kinds of wrongs. Using another person's ideas, information, or expressions without acknowledging that person's work constitutes intellectual theft. Passing off another person's ideas, information, or expressions as your own to get a better grade or gain some other advantage constitutes fraud. Plagiarism is sometimes a moral and ethical offense rather than a legal one since some instances of plagiarism fall outside the scope of copyright infringement, a legal offense. (Gibaldi, Joseph. MLA Handbook. 6th ed. New York: Modern Language Association of America, 2003. 66.)
Types of Plagiarism
Use others' intellectual work without quotation or reference to the source:
- Type I: Direct Copy & Paste
- Type II: Small Modification by Word Switch
- Type III: Use Others' Reasoning Style
- Type IV: Use Others' Metaphor
- Type V: Use Others' Idea
Barnbaum, C. "Plagiarism: A Student's Guide to Recognizing It and Avoiding It." Valdosta State University. http://www.valdosta.edu/~cbarnbau/personal/teaching_MISC/plagiarism.htm
Unintentional plagiarism is plagiarism that results from the disregard for proper scholarly procedures. Examples of Unintentional Plagiarism:
- Failure to cite a source that is not common knowledge.
- Failure to "quote" or block quote author's exact words, even if documented.
- Failure to put a paraphrase in your own words, even if documented.
- Failure to put a summary in your own words, even if documented.
- Failure to be loyal to a source.
"Plagiarism Tutorial. " Duke University. https://plagiarism.duke.edu/unintent/
Common Knowledge and Facts
"Common knowledge" does not need to provide citation if:
- An average educated person knows it;
- It is easy to look up;
- It can be found from multiple sources.
Example: HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS.
"Facts" that do not open to contention do not need to provide citation.
Example: United States of America has 50 states and 1 district.
Note: "Common Knowledge" in one academic area might not be "common" for outsiders, so when you are not sure, cite to be safe or ask your professor for help.
College and University Policies
According to Columbia College and University Policies on Academic Integrity, a student alleged to have engaged in academic dishonesty will be subject to the Dean's Discipline Process. If at the conclusion of that process the student is found responsible for the violation, possible outcomes include:
- Warning
- Conditional probation
- Educational project
- Probation
- Loss of housing
- Suspension
- Dismissal
Columbia College and University Policies on Academic Integrity
Academic dishonesty may be intentional or unintentional and most commonly includes but is not limited to:
- Plagiarism (copying word for word or paraphrasing without proper citation or acknowledgment from a written or electronic source)
- Cheating on examinations
- Unauthorized collaboration on an assignment
- Receiving unauthorized assistance on an assignment
- Copying computer programs
- Forgery
- Submitting work for one course that has already been used for another course
- Unauthorized distribution of assignments and exams
- Lying to an instructor or University officer
- Obtaining advance knowledge of exams or other assignments without permission

Columbia|SIPA Code of Academic and Professional Conduct
"I will submit original work and will properly attribute ideas that are not my own according to established academic procedures. If I am unsure about what constitutes proper academic procedure in a particular instance, it is my responsibility to consult with a professor or member of the Dean's Office. I will not give or receive unauthorized aid on any assignment or exam. I will not cheat or plagiarize while matriculated at SIPA, regardless of the department or school through which academic work might be required.
I understand that cheating comprises the giving or receiving of unauthorized or unfair aid in academic work. This may occur by, but is not limited to: lying, deceiving, stealing, talking, signaling, copying from other students, and unauthorized usage of books, data (both in hardcopy and electronic formats), study aids, or other sources in a manner inconsistent with the expectations established by SIPA and my classroom instructors.
I understand that plagiarism includes but is not limited to:
- Submitting essays, or portions of essays, or other prose written by other people as one's own;
- Failing to acknowledge, through proper footnotes and bibliographic entries, the source of ideas essentially not one's own;
- Failing to indicate paraphrases or ideas or verbatim expressions not one's own through proper use of quotations and footnotes;

- Collaborating with other students or outside sources on an assignment or examination without specific permission from the faculty member to do so;
- Using another person's or institution's research or data without attribution.
Academic work includes all graded assignments such as papers, essays, examinations, tests, labs, problem sets and other graded homework assignments.
If graded together with other students in study groups, I pledge to contribute to my fullest capacity. I will not seek unauthorized help outside my study group, unless specifically authorized by the faculty member."

Are we ready for a multi-task ID card? SAS 70
Recently I received my credit card statement and interest rate had increased to 35%. This was not the Christmas present I was expecting. I am so glad Congress has enacted new rules to prevent this type of customer service from happening to you.
As the government continues to provide bailouts, I was thinking that we should have provide America with a hand-up. Since credit card companies can charge 35% interest, I think that we should take some of these funds back in a national Technology tax. This tax would be used to fund regional datacenters all across America. Just like the library system, one would be located near you to store critical data about you. It also could be used to provide co-location space to new businesses.
At birth, each American will receive their social security card with a computer chip. This chip would store your unique id to provide you with access to government services – including social security, drivers license, fingerprint, and tax information. In addition, you as a consumer, could add other enrollment programs to the card – your frequent flyer id, your credit card, your garage door opener. It would be a National ID that is can be used for multi-tasking.
This card could be outsourced to credit card companies as another form of revenue. Aren't you tired of carrying a wallet full of cards –why not have one! firstname.lastname@example.com
Risk Management in times of adversity – SAS70
In these troubled times, are you ready? Is your IT budget aligned with your projected revenues? Do you have appropriate staffing or must you outsource? Have you requested your outsourced provider to perform a SAS 70 audit? Mr CIO, you must be ready in order to manage successfully.
Wikipedia states: " The objective of risk management is to reduce different risks related to a preselected domain to an accepable level. It may refer to numerous types of threats caused by environment, technology, humans, organizations and politics.
Risk management is a structured approach to managing uncertainty related to a threat, a sequence of human activities including: risk assessment, strategies development to manage it, and mitigation of risk using managerial resources.
The strategies include transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect of the risk, and accepting some or all of the consequences of a particular risk."

With the downturn in the economy, your controls should not be the first area to fall. If you must conserve, turn to green controls or automate your controls using technology. Develop a long-term relationship with a respectable IT auditor that has experience in your industry. There advice may cost upfront, but the potential revenue growth can be exponential.
Here are the risks:
- The credit crunch. (Number 2 in the 2008 report.)
- Regulation and compliance. (Number 1 last year.)
- Deepening recession. (New this year)
- Radical greening. (9)
- Non-traditional entrants. (16)
- Cost cutting. (8)
- Managing talent. (11)
- Executing alliances and transactions. (7)
- Business model redundancy. (New)
- Reputation risks. (22)
Would it be better to have a digital revolution instead of a stimulus package for Christmas? SAS70
President Obama is asking taxpayers to fund the current state of economic affairs with another stimulus package. How much money can we print before we go bankrupt? I think we need a new vision to revolution our industries and create a better life for Americans….a digital vision/revolution. SAS 70 audits would be the police force that keeps us from getting into this situation again. This digital revolution needs to be a partnership of industry and government to bring technology to every city in America. email@example.com
Are you a IT Leader with a SAS70 badge?
TechRepublic recently noted the 10 most influential leaders in IT and they are noted below. What does it take to be a IT leader with a SAS70 audit badge? Several things these great leaders have in common are:
1) Each of these leaders are visionaries in their field. They know enough about their industry and company to be able to successfully predict the next technological revolution and be ready to take action.
2) A strong work ethic. These leader knew that hardwork would provide opportunity for themselves and their staff.
3) These IT leaders were able to take complex organizational structures and make them successful growing corporations. "Keep it simple stupid" is really a learned form of business acumen that guides business strategy for successful leaders.
4) Each of these Companies takes IT security issues seriously, and have security programs that are responsive to customer requests. Not everyone is perfect, but these companies have taken their customers data and needs seriously and take steps daily to protect them.
5) They all have a SAS 70 audit completed on their Company to provide evidence that their internal controls are sound.
10. Bill Gates, Microsoft
At the end of June, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates stepped down from his full-time job at the world's largest software company (he remains chairman and still spends about 20% of his working hours on Microsoft stuff). True to his word, Gates has stepped back from the spotlight. However, he still casts a huge shadow over the business technology world, in part because a number of his visions have not come to fruition yet – most notably his ideas for next generation computer interfaces – and partly because Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was so erratic in 2008 (ah hem, Yahoo debacle) and has yet to articulate a clear vision for how Microsoft will innovate business software in the years ahead.
9. Mark Templeton, Citrix
Citrix was supposed to have been eliminated years ago when Microsoft started bundling Terminal Services into Windows Server. However, it never happened. Under the leadership of President and CEO Mark Templeton, Citrix has done two things to remain relevant: 1.) expand its product lines and 2.) re-market its itself to fit the changing times. Citrix has chosen its acquisitions wisely, with wins such as Xen virtualization software and GoToMeeting and GoToMyPC for remote workers. Meanwhile, Templeton, a former marketing executive, has re-fashioned the company by successfully hitching its wagon to virtualization. For example, terminal services is now application virtualization for Citrix. It also doesn't hurt that Citrix's software also goes a step beyond the version of Terminal Services that you get in Windows, and Citrix has also aggressively partnered with Microsoft.
8. Steve Jobs, Apple
Apple and its CEO Steve Jobs have had a far larger impact on consumer computing than business systems over the past several years, but Apple made one move in 2008 that was significant enough to land Jobs on this list on its merits alone. In a software update in mid-2008, Jobs and Apple took their highly successful iPhone and connected it with Exchange ActiveSync, making it capable of enterprise-class e-mail, contacts, and calendaring. This also made the iPhone a much stronger competitor to BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Symbian. However, the iPhone's meteoric ascent hasn't hurt the big smartphone vendors – at least not yet. It has actually brought more awareness to smartphones (making it a required tool for knowledge workers) and helped expand the overall smartphone market. These aren't just tools for executives, salespeople, financial nerds, and bureaucrats anymore.
7. Safra Catz, Oracle
When you have a company that makes almost 50% of its revenue from existing software and support contracts, then it's critical to have a leader who can drive operational efficiency. For enterprise software giant Oracle, that leader is Safra Catz, its President and former CFO. While CEO Larry Ellison remains the highly-colorful figurehead of the company, Catz is the one in charge of integrating its steady stream of acquisitions – 10 in 2008 – and handling the company's operational strategy. With Microsoft nipping at its heals from the SMB side and SAP and IBM trying to steal away enterprise accounts, Oracle's empire should be shrinking, but it's not. It has put together the most diverse set of enterprise software products and it has assimilated them very well under Catz's leadership. She is one of only two non-CEOs on this list, but the successes of Oracle's acquisitions make her a worthy addition.
6. Eric Schmidt, Google
While Google ultimately aims for a broader consumer focus of building great tools to broaden the power of the Internet, the company is quietly making inroads with its business technology products. Whether it's the expansion of Gmail functionality to become a true competitor to Microsoft Outlook, large organizations such as the Washington D.C. municipality migrating from Microsoft Office to Google Apps, the continued expansion of the Google enterprise search appliances, or the potential for Android smartphones to become powerful business devices, you can see Google methodically moving into the enterprise arena. And don't forget that Google Chairman/CEO Eric Schmidt previously worked for two enterprise vendors, Sun Microsystems and Novell.
5. Marc Benioff, Salesforce.com
There's no better success story for cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS) in the business world than Salesforce.com. The Web-based CRM tool continued its meteoric growth in 2008 and its Chairman/CEO Marc Benioff continued to wave the flag for SaaS as the next great evolution in the business technology world. If he has his way, Benioff will take Salesforce.com beyond CRM and build the world's first great cloud computing platform for businesses. Don't count him out.
4. Anne Mulcahy, Xerox
During the past five years, Anne Mulcahy – as Xerox CEO and Chairman – has turned around the fortunes of the company that was once synonymous with the photocopier. Mulcahy instituted strict financial discipline including major cost costs, while also ramping up Xerox's services business, pushing innovation with expanded research and development efforts, and growing its footprint in emerging markets. Ironically, Xerox consultants now show companies how to save paper and reduce the number of printers – often by replacing a bunch of HP printers with one big machine from Xerox.
3. Craig Barrett, Intel
With Bill Gates fading into the sunset, Intel Chairman Craig Barrett has emerged as one of the IT industry's chief ambassadors. He traveled to over 30 countries in 2008, met with various heads of state, and served as the chair of a United Nations task force on technology in the developing world. "Technology is a tool to address some of the world's most pressing challenges related to health care, education, economic development and the environment," said Barrett. This broader vision of the role of technology in society is fueling Intel's strategy as the company continues to drive down the cost of computers with chips that are smaller, less expensive, and cost less to operate.
2. John Chambers, Cisco
Cisco continues to completely dominate the enterprise networking market. Now, it's trying to do the same in the small and medium business market. Its telepresence systems are also poised for a big breakthrough as the price of the product drops and businesses cut their travel budgets in these lean economic times. Now, it's also rumored that Cisco will enter the blade server market. Chambers is a high-energy visionary with lots of discipline, and he has Cisco hitting on all cylinders.
1. Mark Hurd, Hewlett-Packard
Last year, I left Mark Hurd off the list and even remarked that Carly Fiorina deserved a lot of the credit for Hewlett-Packard's resurgence because its roots are based in the HP-Compaq merger, which Fiorina had the guts to do. But, it becomes clearer every year that Hurd is making the right calls and motivating the various HP divisions to execute. HP is back on top in the PC market (having overtaken Dell), it is tied for the lead in servers with IBM, and it is even making strong moves in the networking market with its ProCurve gear. Plus, it bought EDS in 2008 to expand its footprint in IT services. All of the while, it has allowed its incumbent printer business to quietly take a back seat. That's why HP is doing so well, even in the face of economic headwinds, and that's why Hurd deserves the top spot on this list. firstname.lastname@example.com
Will 2009 be a better year? SAS70
With a new election just completed, will our future be brighter in 2009? I hope it will be. It seems there is never enough time to get all the work completed, document all the workpapers, and provide exceptional client service. Here some wishes for your business in 2009:
1) your SAS 70 audit will be a success.
2) you will find too many customers who want to pay you too much on the same day that you run out of coffee.
3) Every city in America will realize the value of information and access to the internet. Therefore, the U.S. Government will offer low interest loans to build a Data center in every city.
4) You learn how to work smarter, not harder. Take advantage of your access to a local data center and further your education. Perform research with your neighbors across the world and develop new technologies.
5)The new technologies will lead you to new successful business ventures that will compliment or add to your current services. email@example.com
Third party services and SAS70 audit
During a SAS 70 audit, an auditor may examine any relationships with third parties. Any third party agreements or service level agreements should contain:
1. procedures to protect all outsourced data, applications or hardware
2. a description of the services provided and the target level of services
3. the establishment of an escalation process should an incident occur
4. the right to audit and determine that they are adhering to your agreement
5. the respective liabilities of both parties should an incident occur.
During a SAS70 audit, you have a choice to exclude your outsourced services or include them in the examination. I would recommend you include them, especially if they are essential to the services you are providing to your customers. firstname.lastname@example.com
Importance of User access policy? SAS70
Recently, I was on a plane flying home and started talking to a CIO about his SAS 70 audit. He seemed dismayed about a former trusted employee taking proprietary data from his company. He noted that they had a policy in place to remove the terminated employee from the company applications; however, this employee was able to walk away with the company's list of customers.
Authorization of access to company applications and removal is a critical process that should be documented and followed by all employees, including executives. In our discussions, he noted that the CEO was a mover and shaker, but he did not always follow company procedures. This loss of data was a direct result of not following policy.
It is critical to a company and to the SAS 70 audit examination that employees and executives follow company policy to gain access and removals to company applications. Otherwise, why have a policy – Give everyone administrative access.
A good policy should require IT to only be the custodian of applications. They should only provide access when authorized by the business operations and initiated by human resources. firstname.lastname@example.com

A guide to the best sparkling wines for warm-weather sipping.
In our July/August 2013 issue, writer Ruth Tobias offers an informal crash course on summer-ready sparklers, and here, we check in with a few more fizz-o-philes on how to best buy bubbly for some of our favorite warm-weather occasions.
Backyard Brunches
Popping the cork on some a.m. sparklers? For summery, mid-morning celebrations, you want something crisp and refreshing, yet versatile enough to sip alongside the flavorful spectrum of a brunch spread. And you want something inexpensive (click here for 25 of our favorite sparkling wines under $25). For Henri Schock and Soni Dave-Schock, the husband and wife team behind Seattle's Bottlehouse, that go-to bottle is the Washington-made sparkling rosé from Treveri Cellars. "It's a brut-style rosé (so completely dry) and made using traditional methods, or methode champenoise," says Schock. "Flavors are complex but not too overbearing, with hints of fresh berries." Bonus? It makes a mean Mimosa! Speaking of Mimosas, Thierry Chouquet, the food and beverage director for Hotel Americano in New York City tops hers with Cremant de Limoux, a wallet-friendly French fizzer that offers all the chalk and limestone minerality of a Champagne, but without the budget-busting price tag. Add a few drops of orange flower water and a twist of orange zest, and you're got a fizzy brunch-time cocktail that can't be beat.
Clos de la Briderie "Pureté de Silex" Crémant de Loire
Biodynamically farmed, hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts, this pale salmon-hued mix of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon offers big bang for the buck with brunch-friendly notes of fresh citrus, apple and pear and a trace of flint minerality and toast on the finish.
$17, linerandelsen.com
Domaine Collin Cremant de Limoux "Tradition" Brut
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Chenin Blanc make up this methode champenoise-styled sparkling rosé from Southwest France's Languedoc region. Consistent carbonation, bright fruit flavors and lively acidity make this bottle a complete package of deliciousness.
$14, winelibrary.com
Teutonic Wine Company Sparkling Rosé Brut 2011
This single-vineyard Pinot Noir rosé is round yet racy thanks to a combination of gravely soil and neutral-barrel fermentation. Only 84 cases were produced, so pop the cork on one while you still can.
$33, vinopoliswineshop.com
Afternoon Aperitifs
Hosting friends for an alfresco afternoon? Go for bubbly that won't weigh you down, "so you can carry on to your next summer function without a nap in the middle!" says Henri Schock. One option is to look for wines lower in alcohol (anything under 12.5 percent is great) from unexpected grapes and regions. "One of our favorites is the lightly effervescent bubbly from Punkt Genau in Austria," Schock adds. Comprised of 100 percent Zweigelt (a grape typically grown to produce red Austrian wines), "The flavors scream summer," Schock continues, "with hints of Bing cherry and minerals, all finishing clean to prepare you for your next sip." Thirsty for something sweeter? "In France, one drinks something with a bit of sweetness as an apéro to wake up the palate," says Cheryl Wakerhauser, owner of Bar Vivant in Portland, Oregon. She recommends sparklers made in the Méthode Ancestrale—wine that is partially fermented, cooled and then bottled to continue fermenting and trapping CO2 in the bottle—like Pas St Martin's La Vie en Rosé. And at aperitif hour, Thierry Chouquet pops the cork on the Prosecco di Valdobbiadene from Mionetto. Readily available in most wine shops and markets, "it's well balanced, extremely refreshing and versatile in cocktails," he says, "and will easily carry your palate on to your meal."
Bruder Dr. Becker Scheurebe Sekt Extra Trocken
When it comes to geeky wine grapes, we can't get enough of the Riesling/Sylvaner hybrid Scheurebe. First grafted in 1916, it possesses all the racy acidity of a dry Riesling with a freshness all its own. This methode champenoise-produced sparkler comes in at 12.5 percent alcohol and is bottled with just a kiss of residual sugar invoking notes of pear, grapefruit and hibiscus.
$20, astorwines.com
Grange Tiphaine Rosa Rose Rosam
As fun to drink as it is to say, this light pink Methode Ancestrale bubbly comes from the Loire, home to some of the most innovative wine making that is happening right now in the world, let alone in France. Malbec-based, off-dry yet refreshing, it bursts with tart red berries. Sip this all summer long.
$22, flatiron-wines.com
Nino Franco Prosecco Rustico
As classic a Prosecco as they come, this 11-percent ABV aperitif offers up notes ranging from stone fruit flavors of peach and apricot to fresh-baked bread.
$16, astorwines.com
Burgers, Brats and Other Grilled Goods
Bubbles with barbecue? Yes! When temperatures top the high 80s, a heavy, alcohol-laden red is the last thing people will want to sip. Instead, opt for robust refreshers that have all the oomph of a big, burger-ready bottle, but with a perked-up palate thanks to a zippy effervescence. For Thierry Chouquet, that translates to Spain's lively cavas, which he says both compete with and complement char flavors. "Domaine Raventós i Blanc will do the work," he says. Cheryl Wakerhauser prefers pink alongside grilled goods, pouring deep-colored rosés with a bit of tannin and earthiness. "We are not talking strawberries from Provence!" she says. "Think Trepat from Spain, a rosé saignée Champagne or a sparkling Cabernet Franc from the Loire." And for the year-round red-heads, sparkling dry Lambrusco is your bottle. "We absolutely love breaking out Lambrusco for summer grilling!" says Henri Schock, who suggests popping open a bottle of Ca' Montanari Opera Lambrusco Secco. "This wine is dry (secco) and very refreshing," he says, "with elegant aromas and dark fruits on the palate that make it a great match to grilled meats."
Agustí Torelló Mata Rosat Trepat
This ruby-hued Spanish sparkler is made from 100 percent Trepat, a grape native to the Penedès region (also home to Cava). It strikes an alluring balance of sophisticated rusticity with brambly berry flavors, garden-fresh mint and never-ending bubbles.
$30, astorwines.com
Naveran Cava Brut Vintage 2010
A blend of Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada, this cava from Catalonia benefits from eighteen months on its lees, which lends depth as well as the toasted brioche note so typically found in Champagne. Sweet lemon and a hint of salinity on the finish round out this beautiful steal of a sparkler.
$13.50, linerandelsen.com
The Red Brute
A sparkling wine for Shiraz-lovers, this Australian bubbly is rich and spicy, with deep, dark, sweet berry flavors and a lovely color to match. Heavy enough to stand up to richer foods, it will be especially at home at summer barbecues and on picnic tables.

Balsa Vaal School Papeit
Vol. XXVII—No. 9
Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. November 19, 1947
Extra-Curriculars Are Discussed
Victory Rouser Welcomes Happy The Clarion
A jubilant student body greeted
Bethel's football team upon their
return from Estherville, Iowa,
where they played and won their
final game of the season. News of
the victory had been sent on ahead,
and as the school bus pulled in the
parking lot, many loyal fans were
on hand to cheer for the boys.
Excitement ran high as the fans
and the team gathered in the gym
for a pep-fest. Bob Nelson and his
cheer leaders were at their best
in leading cheers for the team,
coach, and almost anybody in gen-eral.
Using a public address sys-tem
that had been set up, Paul
Edwards spoke words of praise
for the team and called on Coach
Skalbeck for comment. Co-captains
Roy Nelson and Warren Palmquist,
and Roy Johnson, the man who
scored the first touchdown in
Bethel's football history, were
called on for speeches. They all
expressed the teams' happiness in
victory. To climax the rally, Dean
Carlson, who has done much to
promote football at our school,
expressed his gratitude to the team
for their hard work and the real
contribution they have made to our
school life.
Coming soon: The annual
semi-formal concert to be held
December 5 in the Bethel Chap-el.
The guest artists for the
program are Miss Carol Land-berg,
violinist from Minneapolis
and former student of Bethel;
and Harold Hillberg, lyric ten-nor
from Chicago.
At the end of this school year,
there will again be scholarships
given to those who have proven
themselves leaders in academic
work and school activities. There
are a total of 19 different scholar-ships
that will be given to deserv-ing
freshmen, sophomores, and pre-seminary
There are five different group
scholarships, and 14 different in-dividual
awards. Among the group
awards are the High School Valedi-ctory
Scholarship, the Baptist
Leadership Training Scholarship,
the Church scholarship, the Ac-quaintance
Scholarships, and the
Leader Encouragement Scholar-ship.
One of the outstanding in-dividual
awards is the Dr. and Mrs.
Carl G. Burton Scholarship which
offers 100 dollars to a pre-seminary
student at the close of the first
college year who has shown leader-ship,
character, and scholastic
achivement. The Samuel Fletcher
Kerfoot Scholarship in Memoriam
is awarded to the student present-ing
the highest average for his
first year.
Mrs. Delaitsch
A new addition to our rapidly-growing
faculty is Mrs. DeLaitsch,
who teaches in our English depart-ment.
Mrs. DeLaitsch, a native of Minn-esota,
comes to us from Florida
where she had been teaching high
school for some time. Prior to
this she taught in a Minnesota
She holds a B. A. from St. Olaf
and has had graduate training
in Northwestern and the Univers-ity
of Minnesota.
Other than teaching, Mrs. De-
Laitsch enjoys music, writing, and
all kinds of sports. She is an ac-complished
pianist and organist.
Poor me! Here I am waiting my
doom. I just dread to think of
what's going to happen to me. I
heard that some of my cousins had
their necks divided and were hung
by their feet a long time before
they were baked. I hope that they
use a nice, shiney ax to decapitate

Maybe if I hide myself good
enough I can escape the mass ex-ecution.
I had better eat first, may-be
I'll have to hide a long time.
Oh, good, there comes my master
now with chow: I hope it's good
today. What is that he has with
him. It looks like an ax. I couldn't
be the day of execution yet. Let's
see, what day is it—it's Wednes-day.
Oh, oh! I had better run. He
is eyeing me because I happen to
be a heavy eater and I'm fatter
than my brothers and sisters.
Say, he's coming after me. I had
better run fast. Now he is starting

Girl's Chorus
Gives Concert
The First Baptist Church of
Cambridge, Minn., presented Beth-el's
girls' chorus in their first con-cert
of the year Sunday afternoon,
November 16. Assisting the girls
were Bert Anderson, who rendred
an organ solo and Helen Hoffman,
who gave a selection for the piano.
They also combined their talents

Oh my, there's a fence in front of
me, so I guess I'll have to run
down the side of the fence. What
am I going to do? Ouch! He almost
caught me, he just grabbed some
of my tailfeathers; he is closer
than I thought. Now he's got me.
I'll give him a fight; he can't get
me that easy. I'll try kicking and
pecking him. What is he trying to
do now. He's getting hold of my
neck. Ouch, he just broke it. Now
I can't move. I think I'll come back
and haunt him nights.
Oh my poor body! All feathers
and insides are being pulled out.
Now they are putting something
back in me; It feels mushy.
Whew! At last I'm out of that
hot place. I suppose now I'm going
to get cut up.
Well, I hope that everyone of the
people who eat me will have a
very happy Thanksgiving anyhow.
Faculty Ponders
Chorus Trips,
Spring Football
Reports from various depart-ments
of the college were read
and acted upon Tuesday evening,
November 11, 1947, at a meeting
of Bethel's instructors and pro-fessors.
Miss Marinna Axeen anounced
that the college library will now
provide unabridged Reader's
Guides-.–More periodicals and books
are to be purchased with money
that has been made available for
this purpose.
Nels Stjerstrom brought the
chorus trips to the attention of
the faculty. They decided to give
the choirs the responsibility of de-termining
the length of and those
who should be included in the
spring concert tours.
All members having a "C" aver-age
through the fall quarter will
be eligible for a two or three
weeks itinerary.
Coach Paul Edwards reported
the football victory at Estherville,
Iowa, with the recommendation
that the school have spring foot-ball
practice rather than baseball.
The shortness of the training and
playing season for baseball during
the year and the possibilities pre-sented
by the seven games schedu-led
for 1948 prompted this recom-mendation.
Bethel will feature both an A
and B basketball team during the
evenings of the twenty games sche-duled
for this coming quarter. The

First Grid Season
Our team has completed its first season of
competition, and has thus established football
on Bethel's athletic program. The team began
its initial year of gridiron history with many
disadvantages, however, carried through their
four-game schedule with the keenest display
of sportsmanship that can be found in any
inter-collegiate conmerence.
Coach Skalbeck is to be congratulated in
his first season of directing the Indian team.
In the coach's words, "We're not demanding
victories, but we're out to enjoy the game and
to play real football", we find the fund-amental
rule for all athletic competition. Keen,
hard, fair play for its recreational worth and
social development.
The students and alumni are satisfied with
this year's performance. Current thoughts are
even now drifting to the spring practice
session and next fall's prospects for foot-ball.
Something has been added to Bethel through
football that has been only spasmodic in
previous years. That something is real school
spirit on the part of the students. It is in
its infancy now, but will grow.
"My young friend, are you born again?" This
was the question a retired foreign missionary
asked one of our young theological students
of nearly a generation ago. Our student rep-lied,
"Of course, I am born again; I am a
member of a Swedish Baptist Church."—"I
know that," said the missionary, "but, sad
to say, there are many Swedish Baptists who
are not born again." The young theologue,
a little perplexed, objected, "But I am prepar-ing
for the Christian ministry at the Swedish
Baptist Theological Seminary."—"That I know,
too," continued the veteran missionary, "how-ever,
I believe you realize that there are many
preachers who are not born again."
Are we really born again? Are our sins for-given?
Have we passed from death unto life?
Are we changed men and changed women?
This is the all-important issue of life. A
good home background and the best Christian
nurture are not sufficient. For human nature
is not a green apple to be perfected by mere
growth, but an apple with a worm at the core
which, left to itself, will surely rot and perish.
But, praise God, we need not be left to our-selves
and perish in our sins. There is a
perfect solution to this most pressing problem
of the human race. "If we confess' our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
That is the way of the new birth and that
continues to be the way for an intimate fellow-ship
between a believer and a holy God.
Arthur Brisbane, one of America's noted
journalists of another generation, realized the -
importanct of such a meeting place between
tares My coffee tastes twice as good this morning
because Bethel's football lads have at last
tasted victory. We are really proud and happy
with them in victory. There is however a great
deal more to be said for our squad this sea-son.
After the first game it became quite
evident that in addition to the fellows having
a lot of football "know-how", they had some-thing
else that made them victorious even in
defeat. The fine Christian spirt exhibited by
the team brought sincere compliments from
all of their opponents which is indeed a tri-bute
in itself. We are looking forward to an
even more successf!il year next season.
The other day while loafing in the main
office, I chanced to run upon some interesting
material. If all the letters sent out of the main
office were stretched end to end, they would
reach from here to Anoka, which makes quite
a string of letters. There are approximately
17,000 people on Bethel's promotional mailing
list. We can add to that the pledge, thank you,
and reminder letters which are everyday jobs
for those who run the office. It makes one full
time worker just to keep the addresses up to
date for the mailing lists. There are approxi-mately
100,000 letters sent out yearly with
an annual postage bill of $3,000.00. There
is another interesting sidelight to this ques-tion.
Although over 100,000 letters are sent
out only about 3,000 letters are received. Now
what the moral to all this is I don't know.
Perhaps it is that we should all write home
for more letters, or if we see the mailman
stuck to go out and give him a push. Well,
my coffee's gone so guess I'd better sign off.

etn5 of Tbougbt
By President Wingblade
Socrates had noticed a young man in Athens
whom he coveted for his school because of
his fine personality. Seeing the young man
coming down the street one day, Socrates
managed to- run into him, but made it appear
that it was the young man's fault.
The young man apologized profusely, and
Socrates was most gracious. Having thus an
opening, the sage put the question to him as
answer came without hesitation. Another
question: "Thank you, young man, but could
you also tell me where wisdom might be
The young man was unable to answer that,
whereupon Socrates invited him to his school
of wisdom, where he also became one of his
leading disciples.
What is practical wisdom and where is it
to be found? We are told to marshal all the
facts, and then to scrutinize carefully, and
think clearly in the light of those facts, and
then finally to act.
A prominent business leader, when asked
the reason for his success, attributed it to
spending fifteen minutes each day in visual-izing
and thinking through his business pro-gram.
But there are fountains of wisdom apart
from ourselves. Edward Bok, as a young man,
wrote letters, to some of America's greatest
leaders asking advice on his life's problems,
and almost all were gracious enough to an-swer.
There are specialists who can advise—the
banker, the lawyer, the psychiatrist, the mini-ster.
But Calvin Coolidge would often drop
in to an old shoemaker friend to talk over
his problems. There are great souls of rich
experience and balanced minds who can give
golden words of wisdom to youth—there really
is no dearth of that if it is sincerely sought.
The important thing is to walk in the light
after it has been revealed.
But far above human wisdom there is some-thing
"higher far descended". It-was Benjamin
Franklin who pointed out to the stymied Con-stitutional
Convention of the Colonies the
words of James:
"If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of
God who giveth liberally and upbraideth none,
and it shall be given unto him."

ability at composition:
"As shy and bashful as I am,
To ask one out it's mean.
But I did as I do in church,
I ask for "bull a teen."
BETHEL'S HALL OF FAME?: Although
notables are few and far between on Bethel's
campus, I am sure you Dick Tracy fans will
thrill to know that we have the orginal "Mum-bles"
quartet here. The group is led by—you
guessed it—Bill (the single one,girls) Wright.
You can have him- autograph your diary but
don't ask him anything unless his interpreter,
Jim Rentz, is with him.
Before this column raises its ugly head
again, Thanksgiving, 1947, will be history and
we will all be 5lbs. heavier. There are several
things I am thankful for such as Morrie's
article which keeps my literary tripe from slip-ping
to the cellar position, the "characters"
of Bethel who provide such interesting copy
and Janet Widen's cheery "hell000000000."
Seriously though, I thank God for the privi-lege
of attending Bethel and that Christ can
be the center of our education, as well as our
fellowship. As we pause to give thanks for
our many blessings, let's not forget our school
and pray that God will make us worthy
students in His school. PLATFORM FOR

THE CLARION Page 3
Indians Close Football Season with 18-0 Victory
Johnson Scores
First Bethel T. D.
Playing good, hard football, the
Indians climaxed their season by
defeating Esterville J. C. 18-0 in
a game played last week at Esther-ville,
owa. For those who missed
a copy of the Clarion's EXTRA put
out a few hours after the game,
this brief account of the highlights
of the victory is presented.
With Klein holding and kicking,
Esterville kicked off to Bethel to
open the game. Roy Johnson grab-bed
the ball on the 25-yard line and
raced down the sidelines returning
the ball up over mid-field to
Estherville's 45-yard line. On the
second play for scrimmage, Starr
carried the ball through the left
side of the line and raced 44 yards
down the field before being drag-ged
down from behind on the 1-
yard line. After two unsuccessful
tries at the center of the line, Roy
Johnson skirted around right end
for the touchdown. An attempted
run from kick formation was stop-ped
leaving the score Bethel-6,
Esthreville-O, at the end of the
minutes of play. Red Anderson
then kicked off to Estherville, but
the ball took a funny hop and
travelled only 10 yards where Nels
Nelson recovered the ball for Beth
el. The Indians moved down the
Field to the 25-yard line before
losing the ball on downs. After
an exchange of punts the quarter
ended. Bethel men again began to
move in the sceond quarter and
marched to the 10-yard line before
being stopped. Nels Nelson broke
through the defense and dropped
an Estherville ball carrier in ,he
end zone for a safety, but the play
was called back and Bethel was
penalized for having 12 men on the
field. Twice more in the 2nd period
the Indians threatened to score out
just fell short.
Taking advantage of a Bethel
fumble, the Estherville team push-ed
down to the 18-yard line in the
first few minutes of the third quar-ter.
But here the Indians took pos-session
of the ball on downs and
quickly kicked out of danger. After
another exchange of punts, the
Indians pushed down to the 7-yard
line and scored on a "dunker" pass
from "Itch" Johnson to Sandberg.
An incomplete pass on the try for
extra point left the score at the
end of the quarter, Bethel-12
The final period opened with an
exchange of punts that gave the
Indians possession of the ball on
their 40-yard line. Finding a hole
in the right side of the line, Roy
Johnson drove through and then
cut sharply to the left. Hurdling
several would-be tacklers he broke
into the open and zig-zagged down
the field for 60 yards and another
score. The extra point was missed
again and Bethel led by a score of
18 to 0.
As an anti-climax to his sen-sational
running for the dayi in
On the Sidelines
This week we find that football
once again holds our interest. After
the Indians' smashing victory, 18-0,
over Esterville J. C. last week in
the final game of the year, basket-ball
and other sports interests will
have to stay on the sidelines for
awhile yet.
The Indians went to Esterville
determined to win that game, and
they won in a convincing fashion.
The score is not a true indication
off how well and hard our boys
played, for on two occasions touch-downs
were snatched from our
grasp by bad breaks, while a safety
was nullified by a p• enalty and
three other drives were bogged
down within the shadows of the
goal posts. Defensively the boys
were , charging hard and managed
to throw Esterville's ball carriers
for more losses than yardage gain-ed
by rushing. Some fans may
have asked, "Were they push-overs?"
Well, without question,
they lacked the speed and exper-ience
of teams like Rochester and
Austin, but they were pretty big
and played hard; and if it can be
used as a basis for comparison,
they lost to Austin by a score of
only 16-6. The Indians had a lot
of fighting spirit in that game, and
by opening a few holes in the line
'ole "Rabbit-legs Johnson" was
able to romp all over the field. The
boys played good hard football and
really deserved the victory.
The following are some of the
comments heard in the steaming
shower room after the game. War-ren
Palmquist, "Boy, That makes
the whole season worthwhile."
Nels Nelson, "Well, that's the start
of a string of victories." Most of
the guys, "We should of had three
more touchdowns." Red Anderson,
"I'm sick. Sure wish I could have
tried for an extra point with my
educated toe."
You know, fans, I'm kind of glad
our boys won that game, for I feel
that it was only proper that the
fellows who pioneered football at
our school should, even though no-body
was expecting victories this
year, be the first to taste the
sweet fruit of victory.
Yes, it was a great day for our
school! Not only because the In-dians
had won a football game, but
the late stages of the game, Roy
Johnson caught a punt on the 50-
yard line and returned the ball to
the 5-yard stripe. A 15-yard penalty
put the Indians back on the 20-yard
line where they lost the ball on
As the seconds clicked away in
the last couple minutes of play,
Estherville took to the air and
made a last desparate bid for a
score. Though they made several
substantial gains they had only
reached mid-field when the final
whistle blew. Final score Bethel-18
Sports Sketch
One of the most outstanding and
popular players on Bethel's team
this season has been Alan Olssun.
This sophomore really needs no
introduction as he is prominent in
many activities on the campus.
This has been Al's first year
of regular football. Graduating
from Central High in Omaha, Neb-raska,
he earned his only sports
letter in track, running the mile.
After a year and a half of service
in the Navy, Al came to Bethel
last year and earned a 13" in
baseball. Standing six feet and
weighing 175 pounds, .20-year-old
Al has played a good part of the
season at left half-back. Here his
forward passing and running have
been a high-spot in the Indians'
attach. What he may have lacked
in speed, he has made up in drive,
spirit, and determination. And the
experience gained this fall should
make him a top contender in the
back field next year.
At present, Al makes his home in
Cadillac, Michigan, where he is a
member of the Baptist Church.
Heeding the call to the ministry,
he plans to continue on in his
studies here at the Seminary.
because that something called
"School Spirit" really proved itself.
You, Miss and Mr. Fans and Stud-ents,
admirably expressed you loy-alty
to OUR school and to the
fellows representing OUR school
by turning out in such large num-bers
to welcome home OUR con-quering
heroes. Your cheers and
praise meant much to a bunch of
tired but happy guys. It is signifi-cant
that now we can confidently
look forward from this high point
in the development of school spirit
to even greater things, whereas
- before some were inclined to look
pessimistically at the future of
both football and school spirit in
our school life.
The season is over, all the foot-ball
gear has been turned in, and
many words off praise have been
written about our team, but I'd like
to give you a couple more exam-ples
that express the spirit that
has prevailed on our team this year.
Chuck Starr, quarterback, led the
Indians in the first game with
Rochester and did a swell job, but
he injured his shoulder and was
forced to stay on the side lines
for several weeks. A few days after
returning to the squad he unfortun-ately
fractured his ankle, but not
despairing, he kept his suit and
rounded into shape in time to lead.
our team to their victory over
Estherville. Roy Johnson fractured
his wrist in practice and though
he missed our second game, he
came back to play great ball and
was rewarded by being the first
to score a touchdown for our
school. And there are others, but
these are enough to personify the
spirit that has made our first year
of football a success.
Grid Dinner
Tradition Begun
Bethel's football team was honor-ed
at a dinner on Wednesday even-ing,
November 12, held in the din-ning
hall of the Bodien Residence.
The master of cermonies for the
evening was Roy Nelson who ably
introduced the program. The
Bethel quartette presented several
musical selections.
Coach Skalbeck stated in his
remarks, "Christian fellows can
play football and enjoy it; they
play the game for what it was
intended to be and do."
"Personally, I am satisfied that
we did the right thing in institut-ing
football at our school this
year", was Dean Carlson's express-ion
in answer to the question.
"Were we right in approving foot-ball
at Bethel?
Several of the team members
were called on for testimonies con-cerning
"their highlight" of the '47
season. Common in each of these
remarks was a sentiment of deep
appreciation for the fine spirit of
the team that prevailed throughout
the season, and the experienced
leadership of Coach Skalbeck. A
gift of a pen and pencil set was
presented to the coach by the
Guest speaker of the evening
was Dr. Widen, Minneapolis phy-sician
and leader in Baptist Gen-eral
Conference. Using as a text,
Hebrew 12:1, Dr. Widen presented
a challenging address to the squad
concerning the necessity of prepar-tion
for and of playing well the
"game of life".

I Greet Thy Love, Not With Vain Thanks, But With Acceptance Bounteous.
But the stories don't have to be so important. No matter how heartfelt the duty or how strongly the details of the story are believed, there is, in fact, no story, not really. There is here and now, what is, the task at hand, the energy of the task, the presence of the moment. That's all there is, before we categorise, prioritise, stamp and label, quantify, postulate, agonise, or judge. Even the labeling and endless sorting out is the energy of the moment. There is no goal but this; and if goals come up, they can be a playful game, or a passionate endeavour, or a nonchalant happenstance. They need not be the validation of the story, of the ego, of the convenient persona that hops from chapter to chapter. When we sleep, we die, and there is no one that mourns our passing. When it seems we are here, what can be done within the story is nearly limitless; and, like a haiku or a sonnet, can still shine with freedom within what seems a prison or, when the glass is half-full, useful limitations.
Back to the analogy of non-duality, or enlightenment, as a film; the characters limited in their actions, unable to choose what they do even in the midst of apparent choices weighed and made. When films break the forth wall, as in the last clip from The Purple Rose of Cairo, it challenges our tidy notions and concepts about nonduality. Well, I include this clip from Ringu, a Japanese horror film, because I love horror movies and the menace and terror that ensues when known reality breaks down - always a possibility! The void of nothingness becomes more tangible when what we regard as unshakable is shaken. Sadako, the evil child in the well, has cursed a video; if you watch it, you'll die in seven days. The guy in this clip watched the video seven days ago - uh oh.

Nicely said Suzanne. What a fortune we find ourselves in today, with the ability for many people who have come and are coming to know their true nature of ultimate health in the midst of anything at all, with the incredible power of the internet, to share this wisdom, so that many more people may finally come to recognize by their own power the primitive and no longer pertinent belief in a separate deity to worship and to simply know whatever is arising as a perfect reflection of themselves and a perfect appearance of god itself.
Your shares are brilliant and wise.

"I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything." - Chuck Palaniuk

Our story-making can seem quite mysterious, at least to me. On the one hand, stories serve to obscure the reality of the moment; on the other hand, stories are the moment itself, as it unfolds in storytelling.
When I get this, I can relax. When I don't get this, then the weeds rise up around my entire life.

Your posts are truly heart-wrenching. Everytime my ego tries to throw a tantrum, I come back to your blog and there I am reminded I am really the wonderful nothing and that is in itself enough.
I felt half dead most days recently because of the pain of knowing somebody I love is in her terminal staged cancer. Yet when I came back to that which is always present, there is nothing, not even the peace my ego is always looking for. It's there, live as it is and "I" or my "partner" will be okay. Thank you, thanks for your beautiful words.

That old fart Maharshi once said that the source of this drama is ones belief or "I-thought" and to find out where that is coming from. When you find out where its coming from you find out you aren't that at all.
I find it very comforting to know that whatever label is there, really is just there for a convenience, nothing more, not to be taken seriously.
Mike has it good, enjoying the death that the sleep state brings although that not being it, it seems to be a lot closer to our natural state then the waking state.
Its as easy as knowing that we are merely seeing a dream 1 and a dream 2 (Sleep and waking) both very enjoyable states to watch! ;)
Still enjoy reading your posts missy, you just keeping ironing with that one hand... and i'll keep chopping with one hand, maybe someone will notice! ;P

"But the stories don't have to be so important."

Hey Gabriel, don't knock silly nonsense. It is the overriding quality of the story's unfolding!

God as a clothed nothing--I like the analogy. Is spirituality much different? Leonard Jacobson talks about the "spritualized" ego; it's very tough nut to crack.
Thanks, very insightful post.

Presenter Recognition Guidelines
Presenter recognition is offered to contributors and volunteers as a token of appreciation for work done or contributed to the conference.
Benefits of contributing both time and content to the conference should be largely professional and/or intrinsic.
Recognition should provide the necessary access and resources to volunteers to perform their jobs at the conference.
At a minimum, the major contributor to a work should receive a formal record of that contribution.
Presenters and volunteers should receive appropriate recognition in major conference documentation.
If two or more works are accepted by the conference, presenters will receive the highest-value recognition for which they are eligible.
Registration is provided for actual participants REQUIRED to successfully present the work, up to the maximum number listed.
