Curriculum Changes Here Mar. 19
Three major changes in the cur-riculum
are being made in the
transition to the semester system,
stated Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom,
chairman of the Curriculum com-mittee,
in a recent interview. These
changes involve the language and
fine arts departments and include
the addition of independent study
Up to date, •the language re-quirement
has been 20 quarter
hours, or the equivalent of 14 sem-ester
hours, over a period of two
years. Under the new system be-ing
inaugurated next fall, there
will be 10 semester hours in a
concentrated one-year course as
the requirement. A second year,
which will be reading foreign lan-guage
works in the field of the
student's major, will be elective.
The fine arts requirement in
past years has been either one
quarter of Art Introduction or two
quarters of Music Appreciation.
Next year, the two courses will
be telescoped into one single course
of four semester credits. The
course work will include both lec-ture
and laboratory periods. Lis-tening
periods, viewing periods,
and field trips are tentatively
scheduled during the laboratory
Explaining the independent study
courses, which are available to
seniors only, Dr. Fagerstrom start-that
they would .offer more
time for individual assignments,
independent study, extensive read-ing
courses, or intensive labora-tory
or research experiences.

Having been granted a Ful-bright
Lectureship, Dr. David Mo-berg,
chairman of the department
of social sciences, will teach dur-ing
the next school year, for which
he has received saba•ical leave,
at the State University in Gron-ingen,
the Netherlands.
•Besides lecturing in sociology,
Dr. Moberg, who is associate pro-fessor
of socioligy at Bethel col-lege,
is planning to do research
en adjustment in old age. He also
hopes to make contacts with cen-ters
where research is being done
in 'sociology in religion.
With him Dr. 'Moberg plans to
take his family which includes his
wife, Helen, and three children,
Paul, 7, Lynette, 6, and Jonathan,
According to present plans, Dr.
Moberg and his family will arrive
in the Netherlands shortly before
orientation begins in the first part
of September.
Dr. Moberg will be teaching in
the new institute of social sciences
at the university which is directed
by Dr. P. J. Bouman.
The city of .Groningen, which is
about 20 miles from the sea, is
equally 'distant from Copenhagen,
Berlin, Paris, and London. Mrs.
Moberg says that she hopes "we

According to the Health De-partment
of the University of Min-nesota,
a healthy adult can donate
a pint of blood at regular inter-vals
without harm or noticeable
inconvenience. Many persons have
given eight or more pints of blood
through regular donations. The
human body has about six quarts
of blood, more or less depending
on body size. And when a pint of
blood is lost through donation, it
is quickly replaced by the body
so that the blood returns to its
normal state.

Sdetertiata Zeteeta to Here? Never!
(ACP)—A psychology research poll taken' before the University
of Colorado student elections revealed that 547 students had voted for
two non-existent candidates. Harmony In Action de Edje"
Although some time has elapsed since the President spoke in
chapel on campus issues, we feel there are a few things left to be said.
We cannot disagree with what he said. We believe in Christian
harmony etc. right dawn the line. But we feel that believing this is
only the beginning, the axioms upon which we must build. It's •the ap-plication
that is difficult, and students and administration members
equally fall down here in their efforts to achieve this ideal.
The administrative committee is evidently saving its explanations
on its decision about the cultural restrictions for the meeting of the
Senate, the council, and the committee later this month. This six week's
lag between the change in policy and the necessary explanation does not
promote the harmony the President spoke of.
On the contrary this indcident, while not of great significance in
itself, points to a gulf between the students and the administration
which we think has developed. Perhaps we shouldn't say this out loud
since we don't know the solution to the problem. But it is a deplorable
fact, as far as we can see, and it must be faced.
Neglected Brotherhood
To us at Bethel, we have a tendency to think of the segregation
problem as a clear-cut conflict between the Negroes and whites, the
appearance of the following editorial in the "Mississippi Collegian" may
come as a surprise.
There has been, ever since we were all children, a lot of talk
about the "universal 'brotherhood of man." We have been taught in
'Sunday School classes from the time we were old enough to under-stand
talk that "red and yellow, black and white—all are precious in
His sight."
Is there any validity to these teachings?
'If so, why are seventy-million people (the kind that Americanism
teachers are created equal) enslaved in Europe and Asia?
If so, why do we have to have a "civil rights" bill when the con-stitution
guarantees every citizen equal rights?
If so, why are people who ask for equal rights for a fellow human
being branded as Communists and heretics before the words have
fallen from their lips?
The answer -is simply that you and I have neglected the practice
of what we believe. Surely, talk about brotherhood is good, but practice
is even better. Brotherhood isn't a commodity that we can buy with
foreign aid programs and civil rights bills. It is a spirit, accomplished
'through soul-searching prayer and perserveranee.
His Life Was Prayer
by Ed Erickson
"Brethren, pray for us." This was the plea of Paul to the church
at Thessalonica. These were not words tacked on the end of his letter
because he felt they would provide for him a fitting way to close. Paul
knew what it meant to bear about in his body the suffering and dying
of the Lord: Ito be beaten, stoned, and imprisoned. This plea came from
a heart and life that had experienced the mystery of being crucified
with Christ and which had come to realize the awful power which was
at the command of the prince of darkness.
Almost two thousand years after Paul a missionary by the name
of Hyde—known by many as "praying Hyde"—literally prayed himself
to death. A foolish way to cut short one's life, someone might say; but
Hyde didn't think so. McGraw writes of him: "This was the doctor's
warning. Hyde was to give up his life of strain as an intercessor in
the 'Sanctuary, or pay the penalty with his life. What was to be done?
He chose the latter without a moment's hesitation." Hyde had caught
the vision of Jesus as the slain lamb of God and heard again his sor-rowful,
disappointed voice as he stood in the garden and spoke to his
disciples, "Could ye not watch with me one hour?"
There is an organization on this campus which recognizes the im-mediacy
and importance of this question as it pertains to missionary
activity today. Because of this the Foreign Missions Fellowship has
organized prayer groups which meet week-day afternoons. Each of
these remembers a specific field and information is therefore posted on
campus bulletin boards giving details regarding the group which is to
meet on any particular day. Here is the opportunity! We know the need.
Christ still commands: "PRAY ye the Lord of the harvest . . ."

Wanted—one gallon of midnight
oil! What if every Bethel student
were granted one gallon midnight
oil on arrival at college to use as
he saw fit until time for gradua-tion.
It would be especially hard
on the procrastinators who never
crack a book until twelve and then
merely memorize without absorb-ing.
Their supply of oil would be
gone the first week •and then they
would be "in the dark". And then
there are those who would foolish-ly
fuel their lamps for no purpose
other than to illumine daydreams.
Sad, but true, a few Bethelites
might have to bequeathe their sup-ply
of oil to a neighbor who does
their studying for them.
Sign Letter?
Dear Editors:
It seems to me that the CLAR-ION
ought to carry the signatures
on all letters-to-the-editor for at
least three reasons:
First, when a letter raises a
significant issue, it would open
discussion by interested persons
if the writer were known.
Second, such a procedure would
tend to minimize the number of
crack-pot letters 'by the few folk
who feel that they owe us their
opinion on all subjects. By the
fourth or fifth signed letter some
of them. would begin to hesitate.
Third, the addition of the signa-ture
would also tend to eliminate
the sort of letter which is written
chiefly for the impish satisfaction
of stirring up controversy for con-troversy's
sake and for •mbar-rassing
other people or campus
Clearly, the signature alone will
not solve these two abuses of an
open press, for the crack-pot or
imp can get others to write his
letters for him, but the cloak of
anonymity is too convenient for
those who 'distort the purposes of
a free press'.
Another protection against these
two evils involves judicious, edi-torial
discretion. Some letters
ought to be =printed. This, of
course, involves an editorial cen-sorship,
and censorship is an od-ious
ward. But a censorship that
aims at achieving responsible, free
discussion is essential to the free-dom
of the college newspaper.
Walfa-ed Peterson
Ed. Note—Our policy will con-tinue
to be the same; we will pub-lish
all letters (within reason) that
in some way identify the writers
to us.
Why Films Only?
Dear Editors:
Since when are films the only
medium by which we obtain cul-ture?
If the cultural council is
thwarted in its efforts to bring
movies to our campus, why doesn't
it spend its time arranging for
more art collections, concerts and
I would certainly appreciate the
films, but I hope our school won't
be void of culture just because we
can't have them.

In addition, the tests showed that students definitely were swayed
in' their opinions by percentage reports, and that a non-existent candi-date
with the common familiar name of "Stevens" was an overwhelm-ing
favorite over the equally fictitious "Mr. Pomry•."
The poll was conducted by Marvin N. Machman, assistant pro-fessor
of psychology, and the results could indicate apathy of voters
not only on campuses, but in regional and national elections as well.
Here's how it worked, as reported by the "Colorado Daily" at
Sample ballots were 'distributed among 555 students, asking them
to select two preferences between actual ASUC candidates and two
(unknown to the students) fictitious names. The actual students were
Fletcher and Watts.; the fabricated candidates were Stevens and
On each sample ballot was this explanation: "We are interested
in week-to-week changes in student opinions. The results of the first
week's poll (which actually was never released) for these positions
were as follows 'on the ballot . . ." The ballot then listed imaginary
percentage figures beside each candidate'.s name.
The experiement showed a marked influence was made on student
voters by the fictitious percentage figures. 'For example, on one set of
'ballots Fletcher was shown to have had "62 per cent" of the votes from
"The previous week," and as a result he accrued 60 per cent of the
vote's on the dummy ballot. On another set of ballots, however, Fletcher
was shown to have had only "38 per cent" of the "previous week's
total," and the students passed him in favor of another candidate.
Only eight of the 555 students involved in the test discovered the
two dummy names.
If The Shoe Fits - -
by Astrid Barbins
In his poem "A Little Boy Lost" Blake pictures an incident which
took place long ago in England. The story is about a boy who asked
God this question,
Father, haw can I love you
Or any of my brothers more?
I love you like a little bird
That picks up crumbs around the door.
A priest, 'standing by, heard the bay's prayer and question. Seized
by pharisaical anger, he grabbed the child.
They stripped him to his little shirt
And 'bound him to an iron chain . .
They burned him in a holy place.
The boy had not committed any crime; he had not harmed anyone.
He was sentenced to death because he had dared to voice a question.
Apparently the priest did not like people who questioned the "holy
Mystery." This 'boy caught more than the normal child did; therefore
he was dangerous.
This happened in England centuries ago. Such a thing is strange
to 'us in America, where 'everyone has freedom of expression. Or is it?
Do we ever set ourselves in the priest's position, ridiculing, judging,
and destroying the person who dares to be different from the crowd?
Do we condemn an individual who thinks deeper than the comman man
does, an individual who dares to challenge the accepted pattern of
belief and action?
Are ,such things done in civilized America, in our towns, our cities,
our churches ? Are they done at Bethel?

`'WHAT THI5 I sag ABOUT ME SIN' ON PRDOATION11
RePree:1 Patadae
Ed. Note—Jim Reinoldt and Paul Schlueter, members of the
rather unsuccessful Knight's basketball team, have requested that
the CLARION reprint the following article which was run last
year. They feel it somewhat explaine the failure of their team to
win more often.
The referee poked his head out of the pile of players and tooted
angrily on his whistle.
"What," he inquired, "Is going on here?"
The battleground was the fieldhouse, and the reason was infra-murals,
and the conflict was basketball, more or less.
Some minutes later the referee had sorted out five miscellaneous
players per team and had located the ball, and the game went on.
Up and down the floor the tumult raged, a virtual tornado of flying
feet and other appendages, and not unlike an ambitious cyclone happily
'engaged in 'disecting a china shop.
And, rather far behind and along the sidelines, now quite removed
from actual combat, puffed the referee, sucking his whistle fiercely as
if it were the only thing which remained between him and insanity,
and shaking his head. He felt that the• game was rather getting away
from him.
Five or six hospital cases later, when the two teams had run out
of players in operating condition, a truce was signed and the battle
ended. The referee was informed of this wise decision and he turned, a
lonely man, and made his weary way toward the exit, with a vaguely
troubling, persisting thought that perhaps he had missed a few calls.

Bethel Wins
Two At Home
Bethel wound up its home sea-son
with an impressive victory
over Lakeland Saturday afternoon
March 2 by a score of 83-78. It
was a game with a well mounded
offense as five players scored in
double figures for the Royals.
'Pommerenke was high with 19,
'Carlson hit 17, and Westin 16, to
lead the team.
The game was close most of the
way, and could have gone either
way. But Pommerenke hit two
quick ones in the closing minutes
to put the Royals decisively in
On Saturday, Feb. 23, Pommer-enke
was almost the whole offen-sive
show as he scored 35 points
for the team high on the year.
The Royals topped Tabor in that
game by a score of 86-70. Westin
also had a good night with 17

Mannesto and Peterson were their
high men with 14 points each.
Pommerenke was B eth el' s main

Sem Dormitory
To Be Remodeled
The cost of remodeling the Sem-inary
dormitory, which will be
completed by next fall, is now be-ing
investigated by Harold Lid-born,
business manager.
The fifteen dorm rooms now
house approximately forty students
from both seminary and college.
Next year the dorm will house
only seventeen, all of which will
be seminary students. The other
students will be accommodated by
the new wing on the boy's dorm.
Most of the rooms will be singles
and the furnishings will be similar
to those in the new wings. A por-tion
of this dorm will be converted
to faculty offices.
The purpose of this remodeling
program is to alleviate the crowd-ed
living conditions now existing
in the seminary dorm.

Sophomore Test
Begins Tomorrow
The national College Sophomore
Testing Program test will be given
to all Bethel sophomores during
the mornings of March 13 and 14,
Wednesday and Thursday. The
place will be designated later.
These tests, which are admini-stered
on hundreds of college cam-puses,
enable a school to compare
the general educational growth of
its sophomores with that of sopho-mores
throughout the country.
Last year, the first year that
the Sophomore Culture tests were
given here, Bethel students ranked
significantly above the national
average according to Clifford Lar-son,
dean of the college.
General cultural background, un-derstanding
of contemporary af-fairs
and 'skills in English, reading
and writing are measured by the
testing program.
The two-fold purpose of the
tests, Dean Larson stated, is to
show Bethel how its educational
program compares with the pro-grams
in other colleges and uni-versities
and to give the student
a picture of himself before he be-gins
a more extensive study in his
major field.

A special session of the faculty
to review the Master self study of

Arts of the North Central as-sociation.
Dr. Bailey, who is also dean of
Concordia college in Moorhead,
Minn., will analyze the Master self
study of the total curriculum made
by the faculty in connection with
the change from the quarter to
semester system.
Each year Bethel engages in
some Master self study program
for the Committee on Liberal Arts
of the North Central association'.
These Master self studies are a
part of a long range program to
gain accreditation by the North
Central association.

Pay As You Go
Payments OK
A new deferred payment plan for
tuition, fees, and board and room,
plus an alteration in the loan
policy, which have been' approved
by the administrative committee,
will go into effect next fall.
Similar to the present plan of
payment, all charges for tuition,
fees, and board and room will still
be due at the 'beginning of the
semester. However, under the new
plan, students may make arrange-ments
in the business office for
deferred payments for the whole
amount. One third of the total
amount will be due at the time of
registration. (For freshmen, how-ever,
the percentage will be one
half of the amount.) The remain-der
may be paid in one, two, or
three equal monthly installments.
The service charge for this pri-vilege
will be $2 with the down
payment and $1 for each month or
part of a month.
Under the new provision for the
loan fund, loan money now be-comes
available for longer terms
and at lower interest.
Regular loans will not be open
to freshmen, and juniors and sen-iors
will be given preference. Ap-plications
for loans will be con-sidered
by a faculty committee,
with attention to academic 'poten-tial,
financial need, and personal
qualifications. Each student will
be limited to a maximum loan of
$300 at any one time.
Loans will bear 3 per cent inter-est
per annum on the unpaid bal-ance
while the student is attend-ing
Bethel (vacations included)
and 6 per cent from the time the
'student leaves college. Final pay-ment
of the loan will 'be due one

I have been following this tutorial: mdt/Tutorials/Editing%20Models/3D%20-%20Standard%20Mesh.html to edit an existing BF1942 building mesh. The mesh in question is from the XPack2 expansion (Secret Weapons) and is called "Kbely_Hanger_m1.sm". It is a hangar model that is used in the Kbely Airfield map.
I am trying to simply edit the mesh using the MDT tutorial, and then export it to my map so I can test it. The first thing to notice are the texture maps being completely out of place, as you can see in this image:
I thought I would ignore this and simply focus on editing the mesh to then export it. But upon having edited the mesh to my liking (I created a hole inside the hangar, which cannot be seen in the picture above) and exporting it to BF1942, all I see is the default, untextured mesh, with no collisions. The hole that I created in the mesh is there though.
Here is what I have done to edit the building mesh. I am using 3dsMax 2010 on Windows 10 Home Edition 64-bit, if this can help in any way. I am also running the program in Administrator mode. I am using Senshi's BF MDT 2.762 3dsMax script.
First try:
1) Imported the SM file using the Battlefield Tools Import Dialog. Imported only main visible LOD as pointed out in the MDT tutorial
2) Modified the mesh (created a hole on the hangar floor)
3) On the export dialog, I auto generate 6 LODS, then add the main visible LOD (LOD01). I don't check any of the other parameters, and click on export
4) SM + RS files are generated, the files look fine there. I copy them to my mod's Archives, and add them to BC so it can display the new model
5) When testing my map with the model, it doesn't have any collision and the default gray placeholder textures show up
Second try:
1) Imported the SM file using the Battlefield Tools Import Dialog. Imported only main visible LOD as pointed out in the MDT tutorial
2) Edited the main LOD, copied it (LOD01) and renamed it to "COL02". This is the only collision mesh needed for my purposes, as my mod doesn't use vehicles and so no vehicles will collide with the mesh
3) Created a bounding box using the terminology indicated on the MDT site
4) Hit Export, use the COL02 mesh + the bounding box. No problem with the file creation, however the SM file is significantly bigger than when using the first method
5) After copying the files to my mod and BC, the same problem happens (no collision or textures)
Has anyone had issues with editing existing stock building meshes before? I have tried just about anything now. Is this error caused by running the program in Admin mode? Help would be appreciated!

An investigation continued Tuesday after the torso of a woman was found submerged at a wastewater treatment facility Monday in the San Gabriel Valley, authorities said. The remains are believed to be related to a pelvis and legs found at facility in Carson two days earlier.
The upper torso was discovered about 9:30 a.m. in a tank in the 1900 block of Workman Mill Road (map) in the unincorporated area of Bassett, near Whittier and the City of Industry, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The case was being treated as a homicide, sheriff's Lt. Mike Rosson said at a news conference Monday afternoon.
The upper torso is believed to match a pelvis and set of legs found separately at a water treatment facility in Carson on Oct. 26, he said.
"Obviously, there's two parts. It makes sense, but everything's going to have to be confirmed by the coroner through DNA," Rosson said.
The body, that of a woman who was "possibly Hispanic," could have been flushed through any sewer line 18 inches or wider from a site upstream of the Bassett plant, he said. It was found when workers were checking for a "plug" in the line.
The body, likely pulled apart inside the sewage system, was still missing a left arm, Rosson said.
"We do not believe that it was a mutilation. We believe it's some kind of mechanical mutilation of the body that happened during the pumping process or the separation process in the plants," Rosson said.
Asked about the victim's head, Rosson noted that crews were draining the tank and a hazardous materials team planned to enter the closed space where a head could possibly be found.
The body parts found Monday appeared to be submerged in liquid in a covered pool at the San Jose Water Reclamation Plant, a wastewater treatment site operated by the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, aerial video showed.
The finding of human remains in Carson occurred in 24500 block of South Figueroa Street, where the county's Joint Water Pollution Control Plant, one of the largest wastewater plants in the world, is located. The two plants, more than 20 miles apart, are directly linked.
Body parts have been found in wastewater treatment plants before, Rosson said.
Anyone with information about a missing female was encouraged to contact the sheriff's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Those who wish to remain anonymous may call "Crime Stoppers" at 800-222-8477 (TIP), or text the letters TIPLA plus your tip to 274637 (CRIMES), or visit the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.

H2O Asset Management Expands Investment Expertise By Launching Innovative Fund Range
H2O Asset Management today announced that it is expanding its product range with the launch of the H2O Barry funds.
H2O Barry Active Value and H2O Barry Short, both Irish UCITS, are the first funds specifically designed to address the problems associated with the current scarcity of liquidity in the marketplace following the regulatory crackdown on financial institutions.
"The objective of the Barry funds is to offer investment solutions leveraging today's market predicaments and to turn these constraints impacting the performance of traditional asset classes into investment opportunities" said Bruno Crastes, H2O's CEO. The funds will aim to offer investors new sources of performance and diversification benefits.
Commenting on the Barry Funds launch, Vincent Chailley, CIO, H2O Asset Management added: "The current financial system is definitely more robust as systemic financial crises are much less probable. However it is also characterised by more market distortions and it is prone to market shocks due to the massive drop in the liquidity provided by banks. The lower systemic risk makes these shockwaves less contagious and this pattern can offer attractive opportunities to flexible and responsive asset managers."
• Investment rationale of the Barry Funds
H2O Barry Active Value aims to tap value from the new market environment. When markets are quiet, it invests in money market instruments. When a shock occurs, and as long as it is not deemed the result of a fundamental regime change, Barry Active Value steps in with a short term trading view.
"In a way, Barry Active Value brings liquidity to the markets when it is the most needed, and it is paid for it" explains Loic Guilloux, head of H2O's New Business Development.
H2O Barry Short positions itself to gain from sharp rises in global interest rates, while benefiting from a carry in excess of cash in-between these upsurges. Above and beyond its bearish positioning on G4 Govies, the fund derives a part of its value from the brutal and significant magnitude of interest rates rises, due to the lack of liquidity that banks can nowadays provide to Govies markets. Barry Short uses a portfolio of actively managed options that offers a small positive carry over cash before this sizeable one-off event takes place.
H2O intends to launch additional strategies in the Barry range in 2017 and 2018. The next, Barry Yield, is a strategy that will derive its revenues from fees paid by banks looking to get a capital/liquidity relief benefit by entering into transactions that will decrease their Risk Weighted Assets (being on Operational, Market or Credit and Counterparty Risks), hence the cost of capital associated.
An investment in such funds involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Such Investment may not be suitable for all investors. Before determining if such investment is an appropriate investment, prospective investors must carefully consider the funds' investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expense as described in the funds' legal documentation.

The Parent's Guide to the Admission, Review, and Dismissal Process (Parent's Guide) implements Texas Education Code (TEC) Section 26.0081 requiring the TEA to create a comprehensive, easily understood document which explains the individualized education program (IEP) process for a student in a special education program. Additionally, the Parent's Guide incorporates a parents' rights and responsibilities concerning the ARD process.
The Parent's Guide contains information that parents need to effectively participate in an ARD committee meeting for their child. The Parent's Guide is intended to be a companion document to, not a replacement for, the Procedural Safeguards, which identifies parents' rights and responsibilities in federal law. The purpose of the Parent's Guide is to create a common understanding for parents, school personnel, and communities of the IEP process for a student with disabilities.The Parent's Guide is a living document and is reviewed on a regular basis to reflect timely and accurate information. The Parent's Guide contains a production date on the cover and in the footer of the document.
LEAs must provide the most current version of the Parent's Guide to parents of students with disabilities before the first ARD committee meeting or when a parent requests it. LEAs are responsible for the initial dissemination of the Parent's Guide; however, LEAs may provide updated versions to the parent when requested.
TEA encourages schools to maintain a record of dissemination in the child's eligibility folder in case of a compliance review through the State's monitoring system.
Currently, the Parent's Guide is available in English and Spanish only.
Education service centers (ESCs) assist the State in the production of the Parent's Guide.

MOSCOW, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- The Russian army has received new guidelines that advise checking soldiers for tattoos but a defense official said gay men were not being targeted.
The guidelines state that tattoos are a useful indication of a recruit's character, the BBC reported.
"Special attention should be paid to tattoos around the face, and on the sex organs and buttocks," the guidelines noted.
The guidelines, which cover all aspects of military life, said tattoos may indicate a "low cultural and educational level" and "possible sexual deviations."
However, a Defense Ministry official told RIA Novosti Friday gay men were not being targeted and the advice is aimed at the health of all recruits.
Commanding officers and their assistants would merely be concerned with "a soldier's health and his appearance," the official said.

I know i am lucid yet i often have trouble controlling what happens in my lucid dreams, and i would appreciate help.
most commonly the problem is with flying. i can hover a few feet from the ground alright but when i begin to really fly my body is suddenly hurled into the sky at fast speeds. its not painful or scary (i never feel pain or fear in lucid dreams, even if i try) but the feeling of lack of control is quite annoying. so i find myself high in the air and from there i have to find my way back down. when i first started lucid dreaming i spent time slowly learning to fly, and was kinda getting the hang of it. but the better i got at lucid dreaming, the more real the dreams feel, the less control i have over flying. i dont fly anymore, i walk now, and that helps the problem, but still i wonder why can't i fly. i suppose i have some sort of self defeating belief that is causing this to happen, you see i used to have a strange phobia, this irrational fear would come over me when i was in a very large open place that i would suddenly float up to the sky and have nothing to grab to save me. so for the longest time i avoided beaches and such. the phobia came and went since i was a teen. sometimes i thought i got over it, othertimes it came back to me. Thank God now i can say that the phobia is gone for real thanks to lucid dreaming (lucid dreaming ftw) because since i have experienced this in my dreams, and it wasn't so bad, i dont fear it in real life. also, if it did happen, i would know i was in a dream and that would be awesome.
this other example happens less often, very rare, but even more irksome. i had a dream once where i saw a beautiful woman, so i approached her so i can have a sensual experience with her. however she was taller than me, which was a turn off, so i tried to will her to be smaller. however the dream character resisted becoming smaller and the more i tried to make her smaller the more she resisted me. she began to grab me and yell at me like a monster. she actually got taller and darker. she began to scream at me "I CONTROL YOU, I AM THE MASTER, I'M MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU, I RULE YOU" and more like comments. eventually i broke free and moved on (novice that i am :p i shud of explored what was going on, could of had some enlightenment) i wasnt afraid or hurt, but i was very frustrated at not having any control at that moment. this happened a few times, not too often, but i wonder if any of you have any insights or advice to share with me. maybe even an interpretation of what happened? thanks so much. peace, and happy lucid dreams

Re: Loss of Control while lucid
Simply, you lack belief in your own power to control things. Deep inside you arent feeling powerful. You need to build up your confidence in yourself and of your own power.
I wonder if you can win the battle next time.

Re: Loss of Control while lucid
I agree with the above statement. It seems obvious that you lack self belief. I have also had some difficulties with flying in dreams but have also had some incredible flying experiences, including flying through space from one planet to another. You need to set the intention of flying to a specific destination or goal and then just do it, any element of doubt or lack of intention will result in failure.

Re: Loss of Control while lucid
Remember, the dream is nothing more than an illusion. You don't walk on ground, you FEEL as if you walk on ground. That building you are seeing is merely a bunch of visuals and isn't actually there. That woman that is shouting like a nefarious overlord is nothing more than sensory inputs created by the brain. Just add imaginary ducttape over her not-really-existent mouth and you should be fine.
You have bought a ticket for a train of thought heading for your wildest dreams. Choose your destination, and enjoy the ride!

Re: Loss of Control while lucid
hmm thnx for the response and advice. i actually have recently found a trick to help me fly. i find when i am acutally doing something in the flying like flapping my arms like wings it helps me control my movement (as opposed to just willing my movement) i even start to get the sensation of flying a bit as opposed to just moving through air which is nothing special, just gets u where ur going. its funny tho cuz my arms start to feel tired in the dream. (hey i just flew in from a lucid dream, boy are my arms tired) i know it doesnt make sense. i will work on the self esteem thing. i guess its good to know its simple, i'll keep reminding myself that when im in my dream im god, pretty much, and all that happens isnt real, just my own brain expressing itself. i do know that to some extent, alot more then when i started, when i started i still feared pain and scary things, but now i know nothing can hurt me in my dream and there is nothing scary.
i do have trouble traveling distances btw. like going from planet to planet. when i see something far away and its small and when i go towards it the object doesnt get bigger, instead i get up to the planet which is just a small ball of clay, which is a bit fascinating really, like when i saw mountains and valleys and large trees in a dream from high on a hill, and i ran to them excited to explore, and in a second i find myself stepping on this small things which werent actually far from me but just small. its weird. anyway maybe i'll make a new post about that.

Jazz trumpeter and band leader Donald Byrd, whose clean, elegant phrasing made his reputation in the 1950s and '60s before he began experimenting in the '70s and '80s with jazz-funk-R&B fusions on discs such as "Black Byrd" and "Thank You ... for F.U.M.L. (Funking Up My Life)," has died at age 80.
He reportedly died Feb. 4 in Dover, Del.
Byrd was born Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture Byrd II in Detroit and grew up immersed in that city's rich blues and church-music culture (his father was a Methodist minister).
PHOTOS: Notable deaths of 2013
He moved to New York in 1955 and quickly became one of the most sought-after young trumpeters in America and an exponent of the hard-bop movement. Eventually, he would collaborate with Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. Critic Nat Hentoff hailed his debut album for heralding "one of the most important jazz trumpet talents in the past few years." (Watch a video below to hear Byrd incorporating gospel voices into jazz with "Elijah," from his 1963 album "A New Perspective.")
In the early '70s, Byrd joined a number of jazz artists, including Miles Davis, to begin fusing jazz with R&B and funk elements. His album "Black Byrd" peaked at No. 88 on the Billboard Top 100, and Byrd expanded his following among younger listeners who were coming to jazz through jazz-influenced pop-soul groups such as Earth, Wind & Fire and other funk fusionists such as Roy Ayers.
One standout track from that period, "Loving You" (from "Thank You ... for F.U.M.L."), lays a trumpet's guiding melodic line, plus silky lead male and backing female vocals, over a snapping bassline and cracking percussion.
Predictably, however, some jazz purists reacted with horror and condemned Byrd as a heretic. "The jazz people started eating on me," Byrd recalled in one interview.
Byrd also put together a new group, the Blackbyrds, from some of his music students at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Among their hit singles were "Walking in Rhythm" and "Rock Creek Park," an atmospheric, erotically charged paean to the Washington oasis.
The song has been heavily sampled by rap and hip-hop performers such as Public Enemy and Nas, and was used memorably on the soundtrack to the 1991 British film "Young Soul Rebels," a same-sex love story set amid the tense world of England's ethnic gangs and subcultures.

You May Not Have the Time or Money for a Vacation, But Chances Are Good Your Boss Does
Need another reason to hate your boss? New research shows more than three-quarters of managers will take a summer vacation, while only 65 percent of their underlings will do the same.
Job-search site CareerBuilder found that although full-time employees are slightly more likely to take a vacation this year than in 2011, they're still a lot less likely to do so now than they were in the halcyon days before the recession set in — back then, 80 percent of workers used some of their vacation days for a summer break.
When asked why they were foregoing time off, almost one in five respondents said they couldn't afford a trip, while 15 percent said they their workloads just wouldn't allow it. In addition, nearly a quarter of workers said they'd stay home while their families went away without them.
"Managers may be more likely to afford vacations, but they should still be encouraging their employees to use paid time off, even if they are staying close to home," said Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder. "Workers who maximize vacation time are less likely to burn out and more likely to maintain productivity levels."

"Fish used in stocking programs could be important vectors for diseases responsible for amphibian losses," say Joseph Kiesecker of The Pennsylvania State University in University Park and his colleagues in the August issue of Conservation Biology.
Historically, hatchery-reared fish were introduced to nearly half of the 16,000 mountain lakes in the western contiguous U.S. Today, fish are still stocked in a number of national parks and wilderness areas. Fish stocking is common at Pacific Northwest sites with mass amphibian deaths, and the associated fungus (Saprolegnia ferax) is a common disease of hatchery-reared fish.
To determine whether fish-stocking could spread the fungus to amphibians, Kiesecker and his colleagues collected rainbow trout from a fish hatchery and freshly-laid western toad eggs from Lost Lake, Oregon. Western toads have declined severely since the late 1980s, and up to 90% of the toad embryos have died at sites with Saprolegnia outbreaks.
Laboratory experiments confirmed that trout can spread the fungus to toad embryos: exposing the embryos to infected trout increased their death rate by about 15%. The researchers also found that trout can spread the fungus to soil, which can then infect toad embryos. This treatment also increased the embryo death rate by about 15%.
While the death rate of fungus-exposed embryos is much smaller in the laboratory than in the wild, this is due to the fact that being exposed to the fungus is not enough to cause an outbreak. Kiesecker and his colleagues had previously shown that UV-B radiation also plays a role in Saprolegnia outbreaks.
The researchers caution that discontinuing fish-stocking may not be enough to control diseases spread by introduced fish. "If introduced pathogens become established, effects could persist even after fish stocking has been discontinued," say Kiesecker and his colleagues.
Kiesecker's co-authors are: Andrew Blaustein of Oregon State University in Corvallis; and Cheri Miller of Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc. in New Haven Connecticut.

Stanley-Jack Relationship
In Book One, Stanley valued Jack only as a foolamancer but could not be bothered to remember his name. When Stanley attempted to flee to Faq he took Jack to aid in his escape. Stanley became irritated when Jack failed to function properly as a foolamancer. For some reason, Jack seems intensely loyal to Stanley, refusing to turn sides when Jillian attacked Stanley.
Following the battle, Stanley seems to value Jack more, possibly because Jack saved his life in the conflict with Jillian and the ten Warlords of Transylvito. Stanley noted that he was "trying to get better about names", presumably as a result of the problems with Jack, and Jack saving his life in that battle. Stanley now attempts to refer to other units by their names and not their function.

To use formulas efficiently, there are three important considerations that you need to understand:
Calculation is the process of computing formulas and then displaying the results as values in the cells that contain the formulas. To avoid unnecessary calculations that can waste your time and slow down your computer, Microsoft Excel automatically recalculates formulas only when the cells that the formula depends on have changed. This is the default behavior when you first open a workbook and when you are editing a workbook. However, you can control when and how Excel recalculates formulas.
Iteration is the repeated recalculation of a worksheet until a specific numeric condition is met. Excel cannot automatically calculate a formula that refers to the cell — either directly or indirectly — that contains the formula. This is called a circular reference. If a formula refers back to one of its own cells, you must determine how many times the formula should recalculate. Circular references can iterate indefinitely. However, you can control the maximum number of iterations and the amount of acceptable change.
Precision is a measure of the degree of accuracy for a calculation. Excel stores and calculates with 15 significant digits of precision. However, you can change the precision of calculations so that Excel uses the displayed value instead of the stored value when it recalculates formulas.
Change when a worksheet or workbook recalculates
As calculation proceeds, you can choose commands or perform actions such as entering numbers or formulas. Excel temporarily interrupts calculation to carry out the other commands or actions and then resumes calculation. The calculation process may take more time if the workbook contains a large number of formulas, or if the worksheets contain data tables or functions that automatically recalculate every time the workbook is recalculated. Also, the calculation process may take more time if the worksheets contain links to other worksheets or workbooks. You can control when calculation occurs by changing the calculation process to manual calculation.
Important: Changing any of the options affects all open workbooks.
Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the Formulas category.
In Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button , click Excel Options, and then click the Formulas category
Do one of the following:
To recalculate all dependent formulas every time you make a change to a value, formula, or name, in the Calculation options section, under Workbook Calculation, click Automatic. This is the default calculation setting.
To recalculate all dependent formulas — except data tables — every time you make a change to a value, formula, or name, in the Calculation options section, under Workbook Calculation, click Automatic except for data tables.
To turn off automatic recalculation and recalculate open workbooks only when you explicitly do so (by pressing F9), in the Calculation options section, under Workbook Calculation, click Manual.
Note: When you click Manual, Excel automatically selects the Recalculate workbook before saving check box. If saving a workbook takes a long time, clearing the Recalculate workbook before saving check box may improve the save time.
To manually recalculate all open worksheets, including data tables, and update all open chart sheets, on the Formulas tab, in the Calculation group, click the Calculate Now button.
To manually recalculate the active worksheet and any charts and chart sheets linked to this worksheet, on the Formulas tab, in the Calculation group, click the Calculate Sheet button.
Tip: Alternatively, you can change many of these options outside of the Excel Options dialog box. On the Formulas tab, in the Calculation group, click Calculation Options, and then click Automatic.
Note: If a worksheet contains a formula that is linked to a worksheet that has not been recalculated and you update that link, Excel displays a message stating that the source worksheet is not completely recalculated. To update the link with the current value stored on the source worksheet, even though the value might not be correct, click OK. To cancel updating the link and use the previous value obtained from the source worksheet, click Cancel.
Recalculate a worksheet or workbook manually by using keyboard shortcuts
Recalculate formulas that have changed since the last calculation, and formulas dependent on them, in all open workbooks. If a workbook is set for automatic recalculation, you do not need to press F9 for recalculation.
Recalculate formulas that have changed since the last calculation, and formulas dependent on them, in the active worksheet.
Recalculate all formulas in all open workbooks, regardless of whether they have changed since the last recalculation.
Check dependent formulas, and then recalculate all formulas in all open workbooks, regardless of whether they have changed since the last recalculation.
Change the number of times Excel iterates a formula
Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the Formulas category.
In Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button , click Excel Options, and then click the Formulas category
In the Calculation options section, select the Enable iterative calculation check box.
To set the maximum number of times Excel will recalculate, type the number of iterations in the Maximum Iterations box. The higher the number of iterations, the more time Excel will need to recalculate a worksheet.
To set the maximum amount of change you will accept between recalculation results, type the amount in the Maximum Change box. The smaller the number, the more accurate the result and the more time Excel needs to recalculate a worksheet.
Note: Solver and Goal Seek are part of a suite of commands sometimes called what-if analysis tools. Both commands use iteration in a controlled way to obtain desired results. You can use Solver when you need to find the optimum value for a particular cell by adjusting the values of several cells or when you want to apply specific limitations to one or more of the values in the calculation. You can use Goal Seek when you know the desired result of a single formula but not the input value the formula needs to determine the result.
Change the precision of calculations in a workbook
Before you change the precision of calculations, keep in mind the following important points:
By default, Excel calculates stored, not displayed, values
The displayed and printed value depends on how you choose to format and display the stored value. For example, a cell that displays a date as "6/22/2008" also contains a serial number that is the stored value for the date in the cell. You can change the display of the date to another format (for example, to "22-Jun-2008"), but changing the display of a value on a worksheet does not change the stored value.
Use caution when changing the precision of calculations
When a formula performs calculations, Excel usually uses the values stored in cells referenced by the formula. For example, if two cells each contain the value 10.005 and the cells are formatted to display values in currency format, the value $10.01 is displayed in each cell. If you add the two cells together, the result is $20.01 because Excel adds the stored values 10.005 and 10.005, not the displayed values.
When you change the precision of the calculations in a workbook by using the displayed (formatted) values, Excel permanently changes stored values in cells from full precision (15 digits) to whatever format, including decimal places, is displayed. If you later choose to calculate with full precision, the original underlying values cannot be restored.
Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the Advanced category.
In Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button , click Excel Options, and then click the Advanced category
In the When calculating this workbook section, select the workbook you want and then select the Set precision as displayed check box.
Learn more about precision in Excel
Although Excel limits precision to 15 digits, that doesn't mean that 15 digits is the limit of the size of a number you can store in Excel. The limit is 9.99999999999999E+307 for positive numbers, and -9.99999999999999E+307 for negative numbers . This is approximately the same as 1 or -1 followed by 308 zeros.
Precision in Excel means that any number exceeding 15 digits is stored and shown with only 15 digits of precision. Those digits can be in any combination before or after the decimal point. Any digits to the right of the 15th digit will be zeros. For example, 1234567.890123456 has 16 digits (7 digits before and 9 digits after the decimal point). In Excel, it's stored and shown as 1234567.89012345 (this is shown in the formula bar and in the cell). If you set the cell to a number format so that all digits are shown (instead of a scientific format, such as 1.23457E+06), you'll see that the number is displayed as 1234567.890123450. The 6 at the end (the 16th digit) is dropped and replaced by a 0. The precision stops at the 15th digit, so any following digits are zeros.
Change the number of processors used to calculate formulas
A computer can have more than one processor (it contains multiple physical processors) or can be hyperthreaded (it contains multiple logical processors). On these computers, you can improve or control the time it takes to recalculate workbooks that contain many formulas by setting the number of processors to use for recalculation. In many cases, portions of a recalculation workload can be performed simultaneously. Splitting this workload across multiple processors can reduce the overall time it takes complete the recalculation.
Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the Advanced category.
In Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button , click Excel Options, and then click the Advanced category.
To enable or disable the use of multiple processors during calculation, in the Formulas section, select or clear the Enable multi-threaded calculation check box.
Note This check box is enabled by default, and all processors are used during calculation. The number of processors on your computer is automatically detected and displayed next to the Use all processors on this computer option.
Optionally, if you select Enable multi-threaded calculation, you can control the number of processors to use on your computer. For example, you might want to limit the number of processors used during recalculation if you have other programs running on your computer that require dedicated processing time.
To control the number of processors, under Number of calculation threads, click Manual. Enter the number of processors to use (the maximum number is 1024).
Learn about calculating workbooks that were created in an earlier version of Excel
To ensure that older workbooks are calculated correctly, Excel behaves differently when you first open a workbook saved in an earlier version of Excel than when you open a workbook created in the current version.
When you open a workbook created in the current version, Excel recalculates only the formulas that depend on cells that have changed.
When you use open a workbook that was created in an earlier version of Excel, all the formulas in the workbook — those that depend on cells that have changed and those that do not — are recalculated. This ensures that the workbook is fully optimized for the current Excel version. The exception is when the workbook is in a different calculation mode, such as Manual.
Because complete recalculation can take longer than partial recalculation, opening a workbook that was not previously saved in the current Excel version can take longer than usual. After you save the workbook in the current version of Excel, it will open faster.
In Excel Online, a formula result is automatically recalculated when you change data in cells that are used in that formula. You can't turn this automatic recalculation off and you can't calculate formula results manually by pressing F9, like you can in Excel desktop application.
You also can't change the number of times a formula is recalculated until a specific numeric condition is met, and you can't change the precision of calculations by using the displayed value instead of the stored value when formulas are recalculated.
If you have the Excel desktop application, you can use the Open in Excel button to open your workbook to specify calculation options and change formula recalculation, iteration, or precision.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau today drafted new national regulations governing forced-place insurance.
The proposal would give consumers more rights, including requiring servicers to give advance notice and pricing information before charging consumers for this insurance.
According to officials at the American Bankers Insurance Association (ABIA), the CFPB said it will reach out to consumer groups, industry, and other agencies for feedback before the proposed rules will be released.
The formal proposal is scheduled to be issued this summer, according to Kevin McKechnie, ABIA executive director.
At the same time, New York insurance regulators announced that they are ramping up the pressure on insurers who provide so-called "force-placed" coverage.
First, New York is demanding a detailed accounting of the expenses, claims payments and profits of nine insurance groups it says are involved in the business in New York, and telling them it plans a hearing in May on the issue.
The hearing, according to Benjamin Lawsky, New York superintendent of Financial Services, will focus on whether rates are excessive and to probe payments between insurers, brokers, agents and mortgage servicers.
DFS officials were unavailable for comment on the exact date the hearing will be held.
The probe appears to be part of New York's intensive efforts to reduce the rate of foreclosures in the state. "The high cost of force-placed insurance adds to struggling homeowners' debt burden and makes it even more difficult for them to avoid foreclosure," Lawsky says.
"The high cost also harms investors in mortgages or mortgage-backed securities, because servicers advance the insurance payments and then recoup those payments out of investment income before investors are paid," he adds.
The insurers whom the department is requiring to submit data include Balboa Insurance Company, QBE Insurance Corporation, QBE Financial Institution Risk Services, Inc. All of these companies are units of QBE, an Australian company which has offices in New York and California.
Other insurers include American Security Insurance Company and American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida, both subsidiaries of Assurant; Meritplan Insurance Company, Irvine, Calif.; American Modern Home Insurance Company, Cincinnati, a unit of Munich Re; Empire Fire and Marine Insurance Company, Omaha, Neb., a unit of Zurich; and Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, Schaumberg, Ill., another Zurich subsidiary.
Both Assurant subsidiaries are part of the Assurant Specialty Properties, based in Atlanta.
