I recently gave a talk about the Future of Television. I'm still planning to write some in depth pieces on the topic but I thought I'd do the quick version here.
Since this is about how video will consume the Internet over the next 5 years, what better way to exemplify this than with a 10-minute video? Here's a link to watch it or click the image above (Sorry for speaking so quickly. I was given the impossible task of covering this in just 10 minutes.) The the text summary is below.
1. The promise has been made for too long, People are cynical - We've been promising digital, interactive video since the Time Warner trials in Orlando Florida in the early 90′s. So the industry has heard this claim for long enough that nobody really believes it will happen.
2. The right factors are finally in place - I believe that for any innovation to take place you need a variety of factors to be present. For example, YouTube took off rapidly because they timed some changes of Flash perfectly that allowed you to be able to watch video on the Internet with limited hassle. The key factors that had to come together are depicted in the graphic below
3. YouTube is the new Comcast - Many people perceive YouTube as "dogs on skateboards" and don't realize that it is now professionally produced content that is driving billions of video views each month.
The first two companies to realize this en mass were Machinima & Maker Studios (where I am an investor. If you press on the link to the company you'll see a very cool, short video that describes the company). If you add Vevo & MovieClips these companies are doing well in excess 3 billion video views / month. They are becoming very large businesses in a rapid period of time. Note that the logo of YouTube used to say, "Broadcast Yourself." It no longer does.
YouTube is the new Comcast. It is the new distributor of video. Yes, it's lower quality than network, primetime television. But many network shows cost up to $100,000 PER MINUTE to produce. Maker Studios costs about $500 per minute. Guess who has a huge advantage in the future of the medium.
4. The distributed ad platform enabled this industry to evolve - What people often don't realize is that until we had a "distributed ad market" it was very hard to build a low-cost video business. But with YouTube / Google now selling both pre-roll (the 15 second spot before a video) and translucent overlay ads), video producers can now make profits on producing ads - provided that they can produce them at a low enough cost.
This is a point that is lost on many in the industry who complain about the "low CPMs on YouTube." They don't realize that "low" is relative. If you don't have the huge costs of production & distribution you can build a meaningful business on "low." And keep in mind that YouTube sells your inventory for you. This allows startups to reach a certain scale before hiring a direct salesforce.
5. Internet TV is following the CLASSIC case of the "Innovator's Dilemma" - the most fundamental driver of the Internet destruction of industries that we've witnessed over the past 15 years. If you want a quick description of the Innovator's Dilemma and why it chews up existing industries see this short post.
6. Cable & Satellite packages will become music albums - In fact, I believe we're finally on the verge of seeing some of the signs of television following the music industry. My analogy is that "cable & satellite bundles are the album. and given choice consumers prefer either singles or to make their own bundles." Watch the video if you want to understand this analogy more deeply.
The TV industry in the US is worth $350 billion in its own right. 91% of all US households pay for television bundles. This is overpriced and consumers are paying for content they don't watch. In a world of controlled distribution the powers that control the distribution can force that on consumers. The Internet changes all of that. The industry feels slightly complacent due to the "cry wolf" problems of saying it's right around the corner for nearly 20 years.
It's not "right around the corner" but the sea change has already begun.
7. Mass adoption of Internet video has already taken place - 86% of all Internet consumers in the US now watch online videos. That means your mom is now watching online videos. Yup. In fact, 108 million people will watch 1.3 billion videos. TODAY. (according to Comscore). In August of this year 185 million people watched 42 billion videos for 17 hours. That's 228 videos PER PERSON.
8. TV is the medium people prefer (whether we like it or not) - Much as intelligent people don't want to believe it, Americans watch on average of 5.3 hours of TV PER DAY and read less than 1 hour. They are online for 3 hours / day. So I would argue that the future of the Internet will be video. And lots of it. In fact, 12-17 year olds already spend 33% of their online time watching videos.
9. Video is different than text. It requires unique, creative skills - And who's going to produce all of this content? It's not as easy as text. It takes screen writers, sound people, lighting, editing, costumes, direction, post-production and acting. I think that creative talent is going to play a major role in the next wave of the Internet. And I find that exciting.
10. This revolution is starting in Los Angeles. This is the first time LA has had our own locally produced, massive tech opportunity that is unique to our city - the majority of these people live and work in Los Angeles. Where I call home. And where GRP Partners, the VC firm in which I'm a partner, is based. We've seen other centers of excellence in the Internet era here (lead generation, price comparisons, affiliate networking, ad technology) but nothing of this scale. And it's exciting.
If you want the PowerPoint version in stead of the TV version of my presentation I can still do that, too. I'm Old Skool. Deck is below. You can download it, too.

Subject: Credit Policy
Date: December 13, 2011
To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks and Federal Savings Associations, Federal Branches and Agencies, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
Description: Concentrations of Credit: Revised Booklet
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) recently revised the electronic version of the "Concentrations of Credit" booklet of the Comptroller's Handbook, which replaces a similarly titled booklet issued in March 1990. Concurrently, OCC Bulletin 95-7 (February 9, 1995), "Concentrations of Credit," is rescinded. That bulletin directs that all reports of examination (ROE) include a page detailing all concentrations of credit. Guidance contained in this booklet directs examiners to include a page in each ROE that lists concentrations posing a challenge to management or presenting unusual or significant risk to banks or federal savings associations (collectively, banks).
This booklet provides updated guidance and examination procedures used in the supervision of banks. The major revisions to this booklet include the following:
Expanded framework for identifying potential credit concentrations.
In accordance with the OCC's supervision-by-risk approach, examiners will exercise judgment when determining which of the procedures in this booklet are appropriate for a particular bank based on the risk profile and the quality of its risk management system. Examiners will supplement the procedures in this booklet, as needed, with expanded procedures found in other examination guidance or booklets of the Comptroller's Handbook.
Any questions regarding this booklet should be directed to the Commercial Credit Policy Division at (202) 649-6670.

TWO Bombs Have Exploded At A Popular Thailand Tourist Spot
A woman has died and at least ten people have been injured after two bombs exploded in a popular Thai tourist resort.
The explosives, believed to have been placed in plant pots, went off in the Hua Hin resort.
Reports on social media have suggested that two British men are hurt, among nine injured foreign tourists.
The second bomb went off near a bar at about 10:20pm, killing a Thai woman and injuring eight foreigners and another THau person, local deputy police chief Samer Yousamran said.
The injured are being treated at a local hospital.
Writing on Twitter, charity founder Edwin Wiek said: 'At #HuaHin hospital. Seems 5 foreigners injured, 2 british, 3 of unknown nationality.'
He later added: 'Latest update: #Huahin #bomb total 23 injured, 1 dead. At least 9 foreigner under the injured.'
The first bomb went off about twenty minutes earlier about 55 yards away from the second bomb. Nobody was injured in the first explosion.
Police are investigating the explosion and do not not know the motive or identity of the bombers.

WB Set to Launch Half-Blood Prince London Premiere Contest
Apr 26, 2009
The Official Harry Potter Widget has been updated with the news that soon, WB will be launching a contest to win a trip to London, England for the premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. While unfortunately the link to the entry form does not yet work (reads out of area) and thus very scant details, such as the actual date of the event which is still not confirmed, eligibilty, and all the rules are not yet available, the news ticker does read that "Viewers of Bonnie, Ellen, and EXTRA in select markets," have a chance to win a four night stay trip for two to the premiere in London. Also apparently there are to be daily prize giveaways. Viewers who may be able to see these programs daily are to "look for the magic word in each program," then follow the instructions to enter. Again this contest is not yet open, nor is the link to enter working for us here in the US. We will update once WB formally opens this contest, stay tuned!

By Niu Shuping and David Stanway
BEIJING, Dec 4 (Reuters) - China has rejected five batches of U.S. corn tainted with a genetically-modified strain not yet approved by its agriculture ministry, a move that could discourage imports amid a growing domestic supply surplus.
Traders said the spectre of further rejections could prompt a sharp decline in new Chinese orders for U.S. corn, dragging on global prices that have already dropped around 40 percent this year.
Shipments totalling 120,642 tonnes - the biggest ever grain volume to be turned away from China's ports - were found to contain the unapproved insect-resistant MIR 162 variety of corn, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said on its website on Wednesday (www.aqsiq.gov.cn).
The bureau also said it had told the United States to improve its inspection procedures to ensure that it complied with Chinese quality standards.
The total volume did not include a cargo of about 60,000 tonnes that was turned away last month, it said.
"With the latest discovery, buyers and sellers are likely to be increasingly cautious about placing new orders while shipments are in danger of being rejected," ANZ Bank said in a note.
Traders had said on Tuesday that Syngenta AG's MIR 162, also known as Agrisure Viptera, had been found in some shipments to China, one of the world's largest corn importers.
The latest GMO discoveries were made at ports in Fuzhou, Shenzhen and Shandong, AQSIQ said.
Nearly 2 million tonnes of U.S. corn are currently on their way to China, and may face stringent testing for MIR 162, which Beijing has not approved for import but has been in the U.S. supply chain since 2011. The strain is already shipped to Japan, South Korea, Russia and even the European Union, which is notoriously slow in approving GMO crop varieties.
With domestic prices eroded by a corn supply glut, the authorities may be inspecting cargoes more closely to reduce import volumes, some analysts suggested.
"To some extent, there is a link to the domestic supply surplus - these are the rules of the game," said an industry analyst with a government-linked think-tank, who declined to be identified.
"We believe future incoming cargoes will face strict inspection."
AQSIQ declined to comment.
The move has already slowed the country's imports, and some cargoes may have to be re-directed to Japan or South Korea, analysts said.
The U.S. supplied nearly 94 percent of China's corn imports in the first 10 months of 2013.
In the long run, China is expected to increase corn imports as the country urbanises and demand for meat and dairy products rises, with the nation prioritising staple grains such as rice and wheat.
But China is expecting a record corn harvest this year, and demand has also been hit by a series of food safety scares early in the year, which reduced meat and poultry consumption and slashed the use of corn feed.
"Domestic firms may be scared away from the (import) market due to the (GMO) issue, which will support domestic corn prices in the south," said Feng Lichen, senior analyst with an industry portal (www.yumi.com).
Beijing has promised to stockpile the domestic harvest in the growing area of the northeast as it seeks to shore up domestic prices and boost farmer incomes.
Domestic buyers are unlikely to be especially inconvenienced by any delays brought about by the decision to reject the U.S. cargoes.
Following adjustments made to import agreements between the U.S. and China last year, U.S. exporters are now deemed liable for any losses caused by problematic or unapproved cargoes, analysts said. Previously, the buyer was held completely responsible.
As well as the 2 million tonnes of U.S. corn currently on its way, there are still another 3 million tonnes bought by China that have not yet been dispatched. Buyers might also welcome the opportunity to slow deliveries in hope that domestic prices might recover, boosting their margins if they re-sell locally.
"We saw it in cotton a few years ago - you get a sharp drop in prices and it is not beyond the realms of possibility that buyers will want to be a little more picky on specifications and use any excuse to knock back or renegotiate a cargo," said ANZ's senior agriculture analyst, Paul Deane.
"There's probably not a lot of urgency to be importing a lot of corn at the moment," he added.

No. 94,635
1. When the person to be served with a DC-27 notice of driver's license suspension form refuses to respond to one or more offers by an officer to take physical delivery of the form, such offers to deliver a copy thereof, together with the defendant's refusal to respond, may be sufficient service of process for purposes of K.S.A. 8-1002(c).
2. Placing a DC-27 notice of driver's license suspension within the direct vision of the defendant and explaining its contents to him or her, together with offering physical delivery and ultimate placement of a copy in defendant's belongings is adequate to constitute personal service for purposes of K.S.A. 8-1002(c).
3. Anderson v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 18 Kan. App. 2d 347, 853 P.2d 69, rev. denied 253 Kan. 856 (1993), is distinguished.
Appeal from Riley District Court; MERYL D. WILSON, judge. Opinion filed May 12, 2006. Reversed and remanded.
John D. Shultz, of Kansas Department of Revenue, for appellant.
J. Ryan Hare, of Norton, Hare & Angles, L.L.C., of Olathe, for appellee.
Before RULON, C.J., ELLIOTT and GREENE, JJ.
Greene, J.: The Kansas Department of Revenue (KDOR) appeals the district court's dismissal of driver's license suspension proceedings against Jason Gudenkauf due to the arresting officer's failure to comply with K.S.A. 8-1002(c) by serving Gudenkauf a copy of the officer's certification and notice of suspension, commonly referred to as a DC-27 form, as required by K.S.A. 8-1002(c). We reverse and remand for further proceedings, concluding that service of the form was adequate.
Gudenkauf was arrested for driving while under the influence and transported to jail, where he refused to submit to a breath test. The arresting officer filled out the DC-27 form in Gudenkauf's presence, but Gudenkauf remained handcuffed due to his "uncooperative, rude, confrontational," and "bizarre" behavior during transport. The officer testified:
"I finished the document and then thoroughly explained it to Mr. Gudenkauf part by part while placing it in front of his face so he could look at it, and continuously asked him if he had any questions about it, and I went through each part of it right in front of him. I asked him if he would like me to take the handcuffs off so that he could physically touch the document if he wanted to do that. He was looking around from me, refusing to speak to me, and continuously acting bizarre at that time. He wouldn't answer me. So I thoroughly explained all of the parts of it before telling him with great clarity that I was–it was his, that he was being served with it, am now putting it in his property bag, and it was his, in his possession at that point."
Gudenkauf testified that although he recalled sitting in handcuffs with the officer at the jail and refusing to answer questions, he did not remember either the officer placing the DC-27 in front of him at any time or offering to remove the handcuffs so he could touch the document. He also confirmed that the officer never touched him with the form and did not place it in his pocket.
Following an administrative hearing, the KDOR affirmed the suspension of Gudenkauf's driver's license for his refusal to submit to alcohol testing. Gudenkauf filed his petition for review with the district court, which dismissed the proceedings, concluding that the arresting officer never personally served Gudenkauf with the DC-27 form as required by the statute. We review the district court's fact findings to determine whether they are supported by substantial competent evidence, but we review questions of law, including statutory construction, de novo. See Zurawski v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 18 Kan. App. 2d 325, 328, 851 P.2d 1385, rev. denied 253 Kan. 864 (1993); Gillespie v. Seymour, 250 Kan. 123, 129, 823 P.2d 782 (1991).
The transcript of the court's statements from the bench indicate that the court accepted the officer's testimony as true, but simply found the conduct inadequate to effect service:
"[T]here is three things there he says, look at it. Does looking at it, is that an offer to deliver a copy? I don't think so. Take the handcuffs off so he could–if he had any questions about it; well, questions about it, again isn't–he may or may not have had questions about it, but that's not the purpose of the delivery of it. So–and the other part was, touch it.
". . . He didn't refuse to touch it, he didn't refuse to look at it–well, I'm not sure about that, but he looked away. I don't know if he was looking at the form or not. But even if he looked at it that doesn't satisfy the requirement of personal service, and asking questions about it doesn't satisfy. . . .
". . . [T]he officer didn't testify that the plaintiff ever refused to accept service. He never refused, he just never answered, and the officer took that failure to speak as refusal to be personally served, left him handcuffed, never touched it, so I don't believe there is any evidence that the defendant refused to accept service. He wasn't served . . . ."
The parties concede that K.S.A. 8-1002(c) requires that the DC-27 form must be "served" upon the defendant "by the officer on behalf of the division of vehicles." KDOR argues that "there was delivery, an offer to deliver, and a refusal by the plaintiff's uncooperative threatening conduct" regarding the DC-27 form. KDOR relies on K.S.A. 60-303(d)(4) and an unpublished opinion of this court in Ortiz v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, No. 88,231, filed October 18, 2002.
We agree with KDOR that K.S.A. 60-303(d)(4) is applicable here; that statutory subsection addresses personal service when there is a refusal to accept process.
"In all cases when the person to be served, or an agent authorized by the person to accept service of process, refuses to receive copies thereof, the offer of the duly authorized process server to deliver copies thereof, and the refusal shall be sufficient service of process."
Here, we respectfully disagree with the district court regarding the effect of defendant's refusal to respond to the officer's attempt to deliver the form. The defendant had a clear opportunity to accept the form without compromising his right to remain silent. Under these circumstances, Gudenkauf was "offered" the DC-27, and his actions constituted a refusal to accept the offer to take delivery. Under K.S.A. 60-303(d)(4), Gudenkauf's refusal was sufficient service of the form.
We also agree with KDOR that the Ortiz decision is instructive. In Ortiz, the DC-27 was placed on the table directly in front of the handcuffed defendant who was told to take the form with him. When the form fell to the floor upon the defendant's movement from the table, the officer picked it up and placed it in Ortiz' pocket. The court found that "personal service occurred when [the officer] placed the form on the table in front of Ortiz and told him to be sure to take it with him." Ortiz, Slip op. at 6. Similarly, the form was also placed before Gudenkauf; additionally, it was explained to him before he was declared served.
Gudenkauf argues that placing the notice in his belongings was not sufficient, citing Anderson v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 18 Kan. App. 2d 347, 853 P.2d 69, rev. denied 253 Kan. 856 (1993). In Anderson, however, the defendant was not aware of the DC-27 form or its content until he was released from custody. In contrast, here the form was placed before Gudenkauf and was explained to him in some detail before it was placed in his belongings.
We conclude that placing the form DC-27 within the direct vision of the defendant and explaining its contents to him, together with offering physical delivery and ultimate placement of a copy in defendant's belongings, is adequate to constitute personal service for purposes of K.S.A. 8-1002(c). To require more effective service under these circumstances would potentially imperil officer safety without accomplishing any more effective notice to the defendant of the consequences of his or her decision to decline testing. The district court erred in dismissing the proceedings due to failure of service.
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

We reiterate our Neutral recommendation on IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE - Free Report) to reflect the lack of significant momentum in earnings estimate revisions. Although the company remains strong due to new initiatives, acquisition and alliances, yet market volatility has been adversely affecting trading volumes.
IntercontinentalExchange's first-quarter 2012 operating earnings of $2.02 per share were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, but surpassed the year-ago quarter's earnings of $1.74 per share. Accordingly, net income attributable to shareholders increased 14.7% to $147.9 million when compared with $128.9 million in the year-ago quarter.
IntercontinentalExchange continues to be cost-effective given its disciplined expense management. This is reflected by its controlled mid-single-digit total expense growth in the past couple of years and is further validated by management's projection of flat growth in 2012. While the treasury cash and new credit facilities vigorously exceed the total debt-funding position, total interest coverage also remains healthy, reflecting minimal capital expenditure and solid operating cash flow growth, which accelerated 34% year over year in 2011, followed by 19.4% in the first quarter of 2012. These factors also pave way for efficient capital deployment.
IntercontinentalExchangehas demonstrated immense growth potential in its futures and OTC markets, thereby gaining competitive leverage. The company offers more than 730 cleared OTC energy contracts, including more than 640 new cleared OTC contracts since the launch of ICE Clear Europe in November 2008.Additionally, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) provisional approval on launching ICE Trade Vault as a swap data repository (SDR) not only opens new long-term growth opportunities but also conforms to new regulations. Further, IntercontinentalExchange continues to drive organic growth and even its intermittent restructuring programs through acquisitions and spin offs have driven robust inorganic growth, which are reflected in increased assets and global expansion.
Despite the global downturn, IntercontinentalExchange's markets have shown resilience due to the consistent client demand for the company's products and risk management services. Going ahead, these unswerving initiatives will continue to drive both top- and bottom-line growth along with volumes and margin expansion that will benefit as more futures and OTC contracts are now exchange-traded and cleared.
Risks to Operations
However, low interest rates and demand for low-priced products have been hampering the trading volumes growth of the futures contracts, as witnessed in the first quarter of 2012. Declining volumes also pose ample risk on transaction and clearing revenues that account for majority of the top line. We expect the futures volumes' growth to remain sluggish until the markets gain stability.
Over the past few quarters, IntercontinentalExchangehas been facing a challenging global operating environment as most of the arch-rivals are rapidly evolving through new and innovative product and service launches in order to gain market share and stay ahead in the competition. This has also relatively slowed down the growth momentum of IntercontinentalExchange.The recent outlay of growth plans by dominant players such as NYSE Euronext Inc. and CME Group Inc. (CME - Free Report) through acquisitions, setting up of clearinghouses along with new product and service initiations in the derivatives market have already pointed out the swiftly changing dynamics of the exchange industry.
Such aggressive industry efforts are not only keeping the company's management on its toes but are also directly threateningits operating and competitive leverage. In future, the company may even have to resort to price reductions and margin contractions amid intense competition. Hence, we believe that management should make productive endeavours as well as manage cash and liquidity position proactively, in order to retain and grow its industry position.
Moreover, amid the current volatile market, IntercontinentalExchangeis liable to be marred by new laws that impact market operations such as the Financial Reform Act of 2010 that puts regulatory constraints on block trading and margin requirements on derivative securities, primarily the OTC swaps market in the U.S.Conforming to these ruleswould also adversely hamper the volumes growth and capital position of the company. The regulations could result in substantial additional costs for infrastructural modifications and will intensify the competitive pressure.
Overall, based on the pros and cons, the Zacks Consensus Estimate pegs earnings for the second quarter of 2012 at $1.92 per share, which is about 14% higher than the year-ago quarter. IntercontinentalExchangeis scheduled to release its second quarter financials before the bell on August 1, 2012.
Currently, IntercontinentalExchangecarries a Zacks Rank #3, implying a short-term Hold rating, at par with its long-term Neutral recommendation.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury selectmen on Friday, Feb. 1, will finalize a Town Meeting Day warning that will have huge implications for the proposed in-town bridge project.
As the Addison Independent went to press on Wednesday, town officials were still working with financial analysts to determine whether to ask voters to endorse the $16 million Cross Street bridge in a single vote this March, or divide it up into two or more referenda spaced over two town meetings.
The decision is likely to come down to which scenario will get the town the best interest rate on 30-year bonds it will have to float to proceed with the plan. Officials are hoping to craft a financing scheme that will depend on little or no property tax revenues. Selectmen want to pay back the principal and interest on bonds through a combination of local option taxes, federal highway funds and a promised college contribution of $600,000 annually for 30 years.
"The appealing aspect is the rather attractive interest rates which would be available to the town should we bond for the entire amount," said Selectman Dean George, chairman of Middlebury's bridge committee.
Middlebury Town Manager Bill Finger noted officials originally estimated a 5-percent interest rate on bonding for the bridge project. Those estimates are now at around 4.2 percent, with the potential for even lower rates during some of the earlier years of the bond issue.
"The implications of the lower interest rate are pretty profound, with the potential savings over the life of the bond of $4 million to $5 million in interest," Finger said. "It makes a big difference."
George added that the town may be able to reinvest the bond during the early years of bond repayments and apply those proceeds toward interest payments.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury selectmen on Tuesday endorsed a contract that would allow the town to buy Steele's Service Center at 83 Main St. for $820,000, with the intent of eventually removing the business to make way for the proposed Cross Street Bridge.
The potential deal — which must be approved by Middlebury voters on Town Meeting Day — would allow Paul and Jane Steele to maintain their operation until the structure needs to be removed as part of the $16 million bridge project. The new span would link Main Street with Court Street across the Otter Creek, via Cross Street.
"It's a tremendously important piece for us in moving ahead with the bridge project," Middlebury selectboard Chairman John Tenny said of the Steeles' property.
The tentative accord with the Steeles leaves three other, less high-profile properties the town must acquire within the right-of-way of the proposed bridge. Selectmen are optimistic they will be able to strike deals with those landowners, too.
The potential sale and destruction of the service center would represent the end of a long, successful era for the Steele family. Paul Steele began working at the business in 1968, before acquiring it in 1982.
"We are pleased to have arrived at a mutually satisfactory agreement with the town," said Jane Steele, Paul's wife, who also works at the business.
"We will still be here during all the planning stages," she stressed, "and we will still operate a towing service no matter where we are located."
The couple already has the flexibility to relocate the business to the Frog Hollow area. The town several years ago granted the Steeles permission to perform auto repair services on their Mill Street property. The property comprises the garage and two homes at the base of Mill Street.

BRISTOL — Negotiations over teacher contracts in the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union have reached a pivotal moment. A fact-finding report released by a mediator to the parties this month and a Jan. 17 meeting led to agreement on several parts of a proposed new contract, but some major issues like salaries, health insurance and planning time remain unresolved.
The negotiating committees for the six ANeSU school boards and the teachers' union, the Addison Northeast Education Association, plan to meet again on Feb. 7 with mediator Ira Lobel of Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to continue talks.
Teachers in the ANeSU schools — Beeman Elementary School in New Haven, Bristol Elementary School, Lincoln Community School, Monkton Central School, Robinson Elementary School in Starksboro and Mount Abraham Union High School — have been working without a contract since July 2007 while the union and the school boards of the schools have tried to come to an agreement.
The mediator's fact-finding report will not be made public until Jan. 28, according to ANeSU Superintendent Evelyn Howard.
A number of components of the contract have essentially been settled, but all agreements are tentative until a contract is finalized and signed. Casey said the school boards and the union have reached tentative agreements on the sick leave, scheduling rules for extracurricular activities, and several related issues.
Details were not available on all those agreements as the Addison Independent went to press, but Joanne Casey, head negotiator for the teachers' union, said that most of those aspects of the contracts will probably remain the same as under the last contract.

A Pokémon Navigator (Japanese: ポケモンナビゲーター Pokémon Navigator), more often referred to as PokéNav (Japanese: ポケナビ PokéNavi), is an electronic device found in Hoenn. It was produced by the Devon Corporation under the orders of Mr. Stone, who wanted to find a way to keep track of a Pokémon's feelings.
In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Mr. Stone gives the player one as a reward for recovering the Devon Goods from Team Aqua or Team Magma. They appear to be small, compact-disc-shaped devices. It was introduced in Generation III. Similar devices are the Pokégear, the Pokétch, and the C-Gear.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the PokéNav is replaced by the PokéNav Plus.
In the anime, Max has a PokéNav he received as a traveling gift from his parents. The main function is the map which slightly reduced the number of times that Ash got lost. In the Ever Grande Conference, it provided all the latest battle results along with statistics on each competitor.
They are chiefly useful for Trainers to contact and re-battle other Trainers, as well as for Coordinators to keep track of a Pokémon's status for Contests.
The PokéNav displays a map of Hoenn, along with the current location of its owner. It is also possible to zoom in to display a basic layout of towns and cities with important buildings differentiated by color.
The PokéNav checks the Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, and Tough condition of Pokémon in detail. It can be set to search only through party Pokémon, or all Pokémon owned combined.
Trainer's Eyes
- Main article: List of Trainer's Eye Trainers
In Ruby and Sapphire, the PokéNav will keep track of 69 unique Trainers and alert the user when they want a rematch. The only requirement is that the player must have obtained five Badges first. It also has information on Gym Leaders and Pokémon League members, though they cannot be battled through this function.
The more often the player steps in an area that includes a Trainer that can be rematched, the more likely each Trainer in that area is going to be ready for a rematch.
Match Call
- Main article: List of Trainer's Eye Trainers
In Pokémon Emerald, the Trainer's Eyes function is replaced by the Match Call function. In addition to the features of the Trainer's Eyes, Match Call allows its user to call anyone who has had their PokéNav registered with the user, similar to the cell-phone feature of the Pokégear. An advantage that the Match Call has over Trainer's Eyes is that after any of the unique Trainers are defeated, they typically identify themselves and have their number listed, which makes it easier to know where they are. However, in order to register Match Call-registrable Trainers who were battled prior to receipt of the PokéNav, the user will need to manually seek out and talk to said Trainers. The Match Call can also keep track of more Trainers than Trainer's Eyes, including having a few other non-Trainers, like the player's mother and Professor Birch, listed.
After the player has entered the Hall of Fame, each Gym Leader will offer to rematch the player in a Double Battle. Unlike regular Trainers, walking in the same area as a Gym Leader does not make them more likely to be ready for a rematch.
In Pokémon Emerald, Trainers registered with the PokéNav's Match Call function will call more often if a Pokémon with the Ability Lightningrod leads the party.
The PokéNav will display the Ribbons the Pokémon have acquired, either via Contests or special events. This function can only be unlocked when a Pokémon gains a Ribbon.
In the anime
Max receives a PokéNav in There's no Place Like Hoenn given to him by his father as a traveling gift and to guide them in their journey across Hoenn. Another function of the PokéNav, as seen in Shocks and Bonds, can also identify various Trainers like Clark. In The Right Place and The Right Mime, Tracey upgrades Max's PokéNav so it can locate the Battle Frontier facilities. Scott, the owner of the Battle Frontier, also has a PokéNav.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Ruby is the first main character to use this device, first receiving a PokéNav from Wally as thanks for helping him catch his first Pokémon, a Kecleon. Like in the games, it contains information regarding the map of the Hoenn region, and can view a Pokémon's condition stats, and its current level. The latter feature was used especially by Emerald for his Battle Frontier challenges, as while he had no interest in Pokémon Contests like Ruby did, the PokéNav was needed to see levels and stats for the borrowed Pokémon from the Battle Factory.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
Ruby was seen with a PokéNav in Something Happened!!! Let's Go After Pikachu!!.
In the TCG

For Senate Presidency
An extended loan period and re-vised
recall procedures will go into
effect next week, library officials
announced today.
Beginning Monday, March 16,
seminary students will be able to
check out books for an entire
quarter, while books checked out
to college students will circulate
for a four-week period. The pre-vious
limit has been two weeks for
students and non-Bethel people.
A library official noted that
the changes were made in recog-nition
of the graduate nature of
the seminary program and of the
average length of time books
were kept by college students.
"We feel that the use which
seminary students make of the
books merits the longer loan per-iod,"
said Miss Carol Christensen,
circulation librarian, "and our ob-servation
of the number of book
renewals had shown that most col-lege
students normally use books
for a 4-week period."
In extending the loan period,
however, the library has restricted
the number of renewals possible.
"Books can be renewed only for an
additional two weeks; there will
Movie Depicts
Religious Cult
"Serpent Handlers," a documen-tary
movie describing a religious
cult prevalent in the Southern
states, will be shown at the meet-ing
of Pi Gamma Mu, Bethel's so-cial
science honor society, Satur-day,
March 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the
college auditorium.
Tape recordings of serpent hand-lers'
experiences with speaking in
tongues and a brief background
discussion by Dick Ericson, in-structor
in social work at Bethel,
will also be featured.
Refreshments will be served.
President Jared Dorn issues an in-vitation
to all interested in attend-ing.
not be the continuous renewal we
have allowed in the past," Miss
Christensen said.
Loan restrictions are establish-ed
to allow the maximum use of
books by the greatest number of
students," she continued. "We
feel that the new loan policy re-flects
student needs."
In connection with the longer
loan period in the library is initiat-ing
a revised recall policy. Books
required by other students will now
be recalled after they have been
out for seven days.
"A student will get five days to
return the book, to enable him to
Bloch Displays
Lute Technique
Speaking at 10 a.m. tomorrow at
the convocation will be Miss Suz-anne
Bloch, whose lute concerts of
early music, including virginals,
recorders and songs to the lute,
take her constantly on tours in the
United States and Canada.
For many years Miss Bloch, who
has trained lutists in the East, was
the principal concert lute player
on the American continent. She
also plays on early keyboard in-struments,
the virginals, and is
considered one of the outstanding
exponents of the best recorder
As a composer she won first
prize in a Paris contest for women
composers at the age of 19; in re-cent
years she has given orchestral
performances in New York with
Leonard Bernstein and Leon Bar-zin.
Miss Bloch's authoritative as well
as virtuoso position on the concert
stage includes presentations of spe-cial
Shakespearen settings and mu-sic
related to his plays. In this
field she not only appears at
Shakespeare festivals, but has re-corded
an album of such music for
Concert Hall society.
General elections Friday, March
13, climax a week of active cam-paigning
for the senate positions.
Balloting will be from 10:30 a.m.

posts were chosen by party
primaries earlier last week. List-ing
first the Royal Realist and
then the United Student candi-dates,
the presidential hopefuls are
Bob Beckstrom and Dave Johnson

and is student representative to
finish using it, after which a fine
of 50 cents per day will go into
effect," Miss Christensen said.
Current policies of immediate
recall for books needed for re-serve
and the present overdue
fine rate of two cents per day for
books in general circulation will
be continued.
A program has also been insti-tuted
whereby pastors and alumni
may apply for library cards, which,
if approved by the librarian, would
entitle them to a four-week loan
period. Other non-Bethel library
patrons will be restricted to the
current two-week limit.
In additional action, the library
announced that in certain cases,
such as for independent study pro-grams,
books may be checked out
for an entire semester through
special arrangements with the in-structor
and the librarian.

Politics Deserves Study
On Liberal Arts Campus
Political Emphasis week could be and should be an im-portant
part of Bethel's co-curricular program. The school's
role as a Christian liberal arts college makes a week-long
scrutiny of the political world a very proper area of concern.
The school's ambitions toward sharpening students' minds to
the extent that each graduate is capable of effective leadership
virtually demand that an elementary political awareness be
encouraged in each student.
This year the academic committee found several admini-strative
barriers blocking their planned program. These con-spicuous
barriers, however, are not the most basic obstructions.
The heritage of much of the student body lacks any political
involvement. Many of us have been implicitly taught that
separating church and state separates everyone in the church
from any participation in the affairs of state beyond taxes and
perhaps voting. Politics and politicians have been generally
Political Emphasis week can and must play an important
role in pointing out the fallacies in this isolation. Ways must
be found to expand the week's program beyond campus politics
to include national affairs as well. Since politics is such a broad
field, expansion to a more varied schedule would make care-ful
selection necessary.
Time would not allow spelling out the entire responsibility
of the Christian in politics: instead, basic responsibilities must
be sketched, leaving responsibility for further development
with the student. Ethics would not allow indoctrination toward
any particular political belief: instead, as many points of view
as possible must be presented fairly and honestly, leaving the
individual student responsibility for examination and selection.
Neither of these requirements would violate evangelical
theology, for Christ is neither a Democrat nor a Republican.
Nor would they violate Bethel's Baptist tradition, for Baptist
unity-with-freedom is built upon a common faith rather than
shared political beliefs, racial backgrounds or national alleg-iances.
The goal set for Political Emphasis week is not uniting
the campus in one particular system of political bias, but rather
driving each individual on the campus toward informed poli-tical
Senate Acts Positively,
Passes Amendments
Parties, Presidential Candidates
Match Purposes, Qualifications
by J. David Patterson
Student senate's meeting last
Tuesday, March 3, produced some
of the most constructive discussion
heard by this reporter thus far.
Three amendments were brought
up in the meeting. Two were pass-ed.
These two amendments will be
submitted to the student body Fri-day,
March 13.
June Erickson was called upon
to present the amendments. Senate
considered first the amendment to
make the standing committee co-ordinators
elected positions. Be-for
the meeting started Bob Sorley
made an introductory comment
concerning this constitutional
Sorley explained that he had
not been satisfied with appoint-ments
in the past two years. Be-cause
both political parties in
the upcoming election were cam-paigning
for this change, he en-couraged
the senate to vote in
favor of this amendment.
Bob Beckstrom moved to amend
the amendment to hold elections
during student senate elections
rather than during class elections.
Beckstrom's motion was defeated
and the original amendment was
Second amendment set a requir-ed
attendance for senators of three
meetings out of every four. Ed
Carlson presented statistics on at-tendance
in the previous meetings
that warranted this amendment.
Beckstrom felt that the senate
should worry more about the
problems of the students than
the problems of the senate. It
was not explained, however, how
the senate is to solve the prob-lems
of the students when sen-ate
business must be held over
from one meeting to the next
for lack of a bare quorum.
The amendment was defeated by
the first negative vote, since there
were just enough senators present
by this time to represent a mere
by Jim Spiceland
Areas of deep controversy seem
to be largely lacking in the cur-rent
election campaign. Royal Rea-list
presidential hopeful Bob Beck-strom
and United Student counter-part
Dave Johnson apparently find
their parties with very few disa-greements.
Last year's campus elections
proved to be the proverbial "ex-ception
to the rule," the rule in
this case being that general elec-tions
on small campuses are not
characterized by important differ-ences
on clear cut issues held by
the candidates.
Royal Realists stood very
strongly for one set of princi-ples
and attitudes which they
promised to foster on campus.

with two men who have proven
their leadersihp ability and mature
concern throughout their college
careers, the students will be re-quired
to do much reflection.
Bob Beckstrom, who has appear-ed
on the dean's list of straight A
honor students for four semesters,
represents the Royal Realist party.
Beckstrom was president of his
sophomore class and is currently
second vice-president of the sen-ate.
Active in music, he is a past
president of male chorus, in
which he served for two years,
while also in gospel team work.
In 1962-63 Beckstrom was widely
read as sports editor of the CLAR-ION,
reporting and commenting on
the efforts of Bethel's athletes.
This year Beckstrom is serving as
a residence counselor in Edgren
President of the National Con-ference
Youth fellowship (CYF),
Dave Johnson represents the Uni-ted
Students party.
Johnson has been a member
of the CLARION staff for five
semesters, serving last year as
editor and this year as editor-in-chief.
He is also an Edgren resi-dence
In 1961-62 Johnson was freshman
class president, and in April, 1962,
he was elected president of Min-nesota
CYF. Also interested in
music, he has been a member of
the college band and male chorus
for two years. In his sophomore
year he was a member-at-large in
the senate.
Both men are known and re-spected
for their Christian cora-mittment
and concern with vital
campus issues and events. Al-though
the issues are not contro-versial,
each was able to state an
area of concern.
"I feel that the senate does
not concern itself enough with
issues close to the student
body," stated Beckstrom, lament-ing
the "busy work" of this
year's senate and promising
Johnson desires to "see student
government achieve greater inter-est
from the students through bet-ter
activities and publicity."

Fulbright Grant
Takes Moberg
To Germany
Dr. David Moberg, professor of
sociology and chairman of the de-partment
of social sciences at
Bethel, is the recipient of a Ful-bright
scholarship "to lecture in
the field of social sciences" at the
Institute for Christliche Gesell-schaftswissenschoften,
Munster uni-versity,
Federal Republic in Ger-many
during the 1964-65 school
year beginning October, 1964 for
ten months.
Moberg, who received notice of
the award Feb. 27, will be on sab-batical
leave from Bethel next
year. He will also be participating
in a large research project on re-ligion
and society in Germany.
This is the second Fulbright
scholarship Moberg has received.
In 1957-58 he served as lecturer on
sociology at the University of
Groningen, Groningen, Nether-lands.
Moberg's invitation was "under-written"
by the Institute for Chris-tian
Sociology, the evangelical
theological faculty and the socio-logical
section of the Law-political
Science Faculty at the University
of Munster.
He has been asked to be guest
professor of the sociology of re-ligion.
He will also be expected to
lecture in some other German uni-versities
and possibly in a few
other nations.
"Technically," states Moberg,
"this is under authorization of the
Mutual Educational and Cultural
Exchange Act of 1961, Public Law
87-256 (the Fulbright-Hayes Act).
The basic purpose of the program
of educational exchange 'is to in-crease
mutual understanding be-tween
the people of the United
States and the people of the Fed-eral
Republic of Germany through
the exchange of students, teachers,
lecturers and research scholars.' "

Paul Goodman and Bill Swenson
recently returned from Washing-ton,
D.C. where they attended the
National Association of Evangeli-cals'
Seventh Annual seminar on
federal careers. One hundred and
forty delegates from twelve col-leges
and universities gathered to
evaluate the role of the evangelical
in American government.
Students often visualize careers
in government as strictly political
and orient themselves only with
the legislative branch or certain
parts of the executive. In reality,
the broad range of civil service
careers now includes 2.4 million
civilian positions, only a few of
which are elective or appointive.
There are presently two thirds
as many different career oppor-tunities
in government service
as in private life. The social and
intellectual caliber of this group
is reflected in Washington's
many cultural opportunities.
The executive branch includes a
1,500 member presidential staff
and all cabinet level departments.
The largest and most interesting
is the State department in which
careers are centered around do-mestic
policy making, serving
in the foreign service, or repre-senting
the nation in various inter-national
agencies such as the OAS,
SEATO or the United Nations.
The United States Information
agency produces the Voice of A-merica
radio broadcast and other
radio-television programming ma-terials,
as well as films, magazines
and other periodicals which project
the American image abroad. More
temporary opportunities, especially
in teaching and engineering, are
available in the Peace corps.
On the domestic scene, some
7,500 civil service positions are
filled annually through the Fed-eral
Service Entrance examina-tion,
which primarily recruits
specialists in the physical sci-ences,
a large majority of which

are engineers. In addition some
career opportunities are avail-able
in staff work for members
of Congress, Supreme Court Jus-tices
and Congressional commit-tees.
News analysts, correspondents
and broadcasters form an influen-cial
group that is not federally em-ployed.
Outstanding challenge of
the seminar was for evangelicals
to get meaningfully involved in the
management of news.
If evangelicals practiced the high
ethical and moral principles they
profess to believe, they would be
the most qualified group to inter-pret
current events. In reality, few
evangelicals are concerned enough
to become involved.
Opportunity for practical
Christian influence is great in
many fields. Any dedicated,
competent person who is aware
of current national trends of
opinion will be influential to
some degree.
More distinct positions of Chris-tian
endeavor are available in in-terest
groups such as NAE, which
is dedicated to the expansion of
evangelical influence. However, it
must be recognized that the NAE
is only one of a myriad of weaker
special groups.
The best background for govern-ment
service lies in the social sci-ences:
political science, history,
economics, sociology and anthro-pology.

by J. Timothy Sward
One should certainly pass this
book by if one is immortal.
Otherwise, it is the most ex-haustive,
documented, appendixed
and indexed explanation available
of the ambush you and your fam-ily
are inevitably walking into,
unless you are lost at sea or vanish
in an atomic war.
Undertakers, in short, have you.
These dealers in the dead have
found themselves gratifyingly in
the center of the unspeakable mo-ment
in social life: the dead cannot
speak for himself, the survivors
do not dare speak for him. Into the
silence steps the funeral director.
America's funeral director—that
dispenser of authoritative and
soothing advice — has suddenly
found himself shouted at, reproach-ed
and deplored in a clamor that
has shattered the hush of the na-tion's
funeral parlors and made
many an undertaker sweat uneasily
beneath his decent black suit.
In what seems a sudden con-certed
attack, Americans all over
the country are rebelling against
the high cost of dying. Funerals,
it seems, just do not mean as much
to most people as undertakers
would like them to.
Any anthropologist or sociologist
can tell us that burial practices of
people reflect primarily their sys-tem
of belief. Since so many con-temporary
folk are inwardly pagan
— both within and without the
church — it is not surprising that
death as the final act is now sur-rounded
by mawkish rites, grief
and guilt therapy, and bizarre
Author Mitford's basic argument
is that the cult of the prettied-up
corpse, put on display in a ghoul-ish,
make-believe sleep, is neither
reverent nor religious, but a gigan-tic
feat of merchandising.
Mitford's point is made without
apology for realism or to the huck-sters
of the vast commercial em-pire
that prey upon the event of
death (floral tributes, cemetery
lots, vaults, garden crypts, etc.).
She is really pointing directly
to an American society that con-tinues
to perpetuate and tolerate
these customs whenever they ac-cept
the tricks of the mortician's

Modernize Your Wiring Now

A varsity sport Bethel has needed for a long time is hockey. The
school is located in a natural hockey playing area. Athletes from the
area who play football and baseball are usually good at hockey. Bethel
loses football and baseball players every year because it does not have
a varsity hockey team.
I know of two boys who participate in both these sports at Bethel,
but feel that they must transfer next year so that they can play hockey.
They want to play hockey not only for enjoyment, but also because they
intend to coach hockey some day.
Hockey is not extremely expensive after it gets started. There is
already enough talent in the school for Bethel to do well in the Min-nesota
Intercollegiate Athletic conference (MIAC). I am sure this would
prove extremely popular and profitable.
Now is the time for Bethel to take action on this. Hockey will be a
natural at the new campus, but think how much better it would be if
Bethel got started now. The team would have equipment and exper-ience
so they would be able to get a good start on the new campus.
If something is not done now, Bethel will continue to lose good athletes
and initiation of the sport may be set back for years.
A problem has come to my attention: several students have com-plained
about the strict rules under which intramural volleyball is
played. I have heard some say that they do not intend to play any more
unless the rules are changed. I do not think a change in rules is neces-sary,
however. I believe the problem could be solved by the referees.
If they would be a little less strict on the rules, the game would be
more enjoyable for all.
As it is now, more than half of the points in a game are scored on
infractions of the rules. I am not advocating chaos. Surely the referees
should call the obvious. But if they were not so strict, intramural volley-ball
could be enjoyed by the average students, not simply the physical,
education minors.

Senate, Faculty
Play For SPAN
Annual Koffee Kup game be-tween
the student senate and the
faculty intramural team will be
played at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March
13. Admission price for the game
is set at a minimum of 25 cents
but students may contribute more
if they wish.
Purpose of the game is to raise
money for SPAN. The SPAN rep-resentative
from Bethel this year
is David Beek, a junior from
George, Iowa. Bill Swenson is cam-pus
coordinator for SPAN.
Played according to high school
time of eight minute quarters, the
game is sponsored by the athletic
committee of the student senate.
Dick Fredrickson, chairman of the
athletic committee, is the coordina-tor
of the event.
This year's game is intended to
be a serious one. Preliminary and
half-time entertainment will be
provided. Following the game offi-cials
will present a trophy. Win-ners
of the student senate election
will also be announced.
Refreshments, including coffee,
punch and donuts will be sold. The
purpose of selling refreshments is
to meet expenses. Any extra money
will be given to SPAN.
Snow is still on the ground, but
basketball season is over and last
Monday the Bethel baseball team
began preparation for its 1964 sea-son.
This year's baseball team is
headed by two gentlemen recently
graduated to Royal baseball annals.
Dave Cox is the new head coach
and will be assisted by senior Don
Cox graduated from Bethel last
year. While a student he lettered
for three straight years as the
Royal's starting shortstop. His last
two years Cox was captain of the
McKelvy was the team's lead-ing
hitter last year with a .470
average which was tops in the
league. As a player, he held the
catcher's position for four years.
His main responsibility will be
to coach the catchers, but he will
be useful in the hitting depart-ment.
Coach Cox has made it clear that
all positions are open to those
wishing to try out. He anticipates a
good group of freshmen and trans-
&thei &oieziloz4e
fer students to aid the returning
Seven returning lettermen in-clude
captain Dave Buck. Buck, a
senior, was starting centerfielder
last season, with the second high-est
batting average on the team.
Known as a hustler, Buck will set
the pace for this year's entire
Jim Austin, returning third
baseman, begins his third year
as a baseball regular. Austin is
also being counted on for pitch-ing
strength. Jerry Moulton, also
a returnee, will be pitching in
coach Cox's present plans.
Gene Brunzell will be returning
to aid at the first base position.
Also a first baseman, as well as an
outfielder, Dave Guerke will see
action again this season. Other re-turning
players include Vince
Bloom as pitcher and George Har-vey
as outfielder.
Cox sees the pitching and catch-ing
departments as the biggest
question marks now. Good strength
will be needed to replace John,
Holmberg and Curt Halstrom's
mound performances of last year.
The catcher's spot vacated by Mc-
Kelvy is a bigger problem. This
key position is up for grabs to re-turnees
as well as first year men.
"Our strength should be speed
and hustle" were the words of
the coach. "We plan to do a lot
of running." Bethel will bunt,
steal and run to produce runs.
Coach Cox hopes to win a lot
of one-run games by hustling
and taking advantage of every
scoring opportunity.
To emphasize the running as-pect,
the team will begin bunting
practice immediately in indoor
practices. Cox hopes to have the
team in good shape before they
get outside. How soon that is de-pends
entirely upon the weather.
Bethel is in the Central Minne-sota
baseball conference, a seven
team league. Last year the Royals
finished second behind Austin
Junior college. Bethel has a 26-
game schedule, including 12 dou-ble
headers. The Royals open the
season April 8 against River Falls.
As to the season, Coach Cox
makes one statement: "We're plan-ning
on the winning the confer-ence,
playing good baseball and
having fun doing it."

The Dutch military is shipping its Patriot missiles to fellow NATO member Turkey to boost its air defenses amid the escalating war in neighboring Syria.
The two Dutch batteries are part of a NATO contingent of Patriot missiles that intercept incoming ballistic missiles. Two U.S. and two German batteries are also being deployed to other parts of southern Turkey.
Dutch defense chief Gen. Tom Middendorp said Monday the missiles will remain in Turkey for a year.
The Patriots are being transported by sea to Turkey. They are scheduled to become operational by the end of this month.

WASHINGTON — The White House says the U.S. intends to transfer two additional detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Algeria as part of its effort to close the military prison in Cuba.
White House spokesman Jay Carney says the Pentagon is certifying its plans to Congress and will consult with lawmakers. He says the Obama administration wants Congress to support Obama's efforts to close the prison by lifting restrictions on who can be transferred back to their home countries.
Obama has stepped up the pressure to close the prison. That effort has been driven in part by his revised counterterrorism strategy and the stain of the government force-feeding Guant�namo prisoners on hunger strikes to prevent them from starving to death.

Apart from the numerous and ongoing breaches of confidentiality plaguing the Von Miller case (unless Von Miller's camp is confidentially leaking details regarding the case), the NFL has a problem with its substance-abuse policy.
Per a league source, the NFL is nervous about potential flaws with the manner in which Miller's sample was collected. The anxiety and/or uncertainty possibly has contributed to the delay in taking the case to a hearing. Currently, Miller and the league reportedly are negotiating a resolution that could drop the proposed six-game suspension down to four games.
The proposed six-game suspension reportedly is fueled by a spilled sample and, separately, a diluted sample. While samples can be diluted via pre-test ingestion of certain substances, it also can be diluted by adding substances to the sample cup. Spilled samples in theory can happen under even the strictest adherence to the testing protocol; however, it's impossible to assess Miller's case without considering other recent situations involving the collection process.
Last year, former Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams and defensive end Ryan McBean filed a lawsuit challenging their six-game suspensions. They pointed to "fatal issues concerning the collection process," noting that the specimen collector eventually was fired by the NFL for failure "to fulfill his duties and obligations as a specimen collector in material manners."
Later in 2012, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman secured a reversal of a suspension because the sample collector allowed Sherman to transfer the contents of a leaking cup to a second cup, which the collector failed to mention in his official report.
"Insuring that the sample is collected properly is the cornerstone of the program and when an event occurs that does not happen routinely or that the collector has never experienced while collecting the sample it is incumbent on the collector to note what happened," hearing officer Bob Wallace wrote in his decision regarding Sherman's case.
In Miller's case, no specific wrongdoing or failure has been alleged or reported regarding the sample collector. Still, the situation is shining a light once again on the process of physically collecting urine specimens and properly transferring them to the lab for testing.
The persons who collect the samples operate largely in anonymity. After the Onterrio Smith Whizzinator debacle, the process changed to require direct observation of the providing of the sample. Over the years, however, we've heard from time to time accounts of sample collectors who don't insist on actually watching the cup get filled. (Indeed, how did D.J. Williams allegedly provided a "non-human urine" sample if the collector was actually watching the urine flow from a human?)
With multiple cases in the past year or so pointing to problems with the collection process, fair questions should be raised about the qualifications and the integrity of the persons charged with harvesting urine samples. What are their qualifications? How are they trained? How are they supervised? How much are they compensated?
In theory, abuses could be rampant. Considering the financial stakes of a positive test, who's to say a sample collector hasn't been offered an envelope containing something other than a birthday card in order to ensure that the sample sent to the lab will be deemed clean?
We're speculating on that point, but with little known about the collection process and with multiple instances of alleged irregularities, the NFL should be worried not only about the accuracy of the program but also the possibility of affirmative corruption.
With the HGH testing issue still not resolved and with all other issues regarding the league's drug-testing policies still open because of it, this would be a perfect time for the NFLPA to ensure that steps are taken to protect players against negligent and/or intentional misconduct from the so-called piss men. Given the consequences and stigma of a failed test, the league and the union should apply the same rigid standards to the collection process that are applied to the men who are giving the samples.
