On December 29, the Bethel Sem-inary
was notified of its full ac-creditation
by the American Asso-ciation
of Theological Schools.
This Association is the only such
institution in The United States
and Canada. There are a total of
135 seminaries affiliated with the
agency, but only 94 (now including
Bethel) are fully accredited insti-tutions.
Australia, Central America, Iran
and Sweden have been selected as
the 1968 Student Project for Amity
among Nations (SPAN) study areas.
SPAN is an unique independent
study program which involves a
year of preparation for the "coun-try
group" of students selected for
a particular area, the summer of
study in the country, and the writ-ing
of a major paper upon return
to the United States. For this work

Donn C. Odell.
Rev. Odell is presently engaged
as president of Culter Academy, a
Christian high school in Los An-geles,
California. In this capacity
he has worked closely with junior
high and high school students for
the past three years.
Bcause of his deep concern for
young people, his understanding
of their problems and a God-given
insight into their lives, he has had
a unique ministry in counseling
with such teen-agers.
Mr. Odell received his Bachelor
of Science degree from the Uni-

Students selected will receive
scholarships from SPAN which will
cover approximately half the cost
of the entire experience. SPAN-ners
must return to one of the
eleven participating SPAN colleges

degree at that seminary with a
major emphasis in Semitic lan-guages.
Prior to entering formal theo-logical
training, Mr. Odell was em-ployed
as a successful importer.
Following seminary he studied at
the Hebrew University in Jeru-salem,
Israel, while he, with his
family, was undertaking a special

Foreign Mission Society.

of the seminary.
By October 1 of last year the
seminary had completed a self stu-dy
of its own—a 282 page manu-script
containing intensive study
of all aspects of the seminary.
On December 10, 1966 the Ac-crediting
Commission recommend-ed
full accreditation for the Beth-el
Seminary. A final vote taken
by mail, of all members of the
AATS finalized Bethel's mature
standing with the organization.
The announcement concerning
the accreditation was withheld of-ficially
until the opening day for
the new quarter which began on
January 4, 1967.
Dean Johnson, in a release stat-ed,
"Accreditation is . . . a pla-teau
toward which we have worked
and looked in our growth and de-velopment,
but it is also a pla-teau
from which we will move on
in working toward greater excel-lency
in our responsibility to the
Lord in training men and women
for Christian service."

the CLARION Thursday, January 12, 1967
Exchange Would Combat
`Rights' Issues Stagnation
In the Thursday, December 1, issue of the CLARION,
editor -in-chief John Halvorsen reacted to the film, "A Time
For Burning". The answer which the film seemed to pose for
the civil rights problem was centered squarely about the "get-to
know us" theme.
The criticism which the editorial brought to bear upon
the film was not so much concerning the validity of the answer
as to its particular irrelevance to the Bethel Campus. The
problem being of course that there are no American Negroes
on our college campus, and hence an active participation in
and acquaintance with the civil rights problem cannot be a
reality for our students.
In the past, very few Negroes have applied to Bethel for
admission. As Dr. Finlay so aptly put it, "There are very few
Swedish Negroes." Consequently Bethel has no base from which
to draw Negro students. The few who have applied have
either not been accepted for academic reasons, or, as in the
case of Leroy Gardner, (prominent Central High School basket-ball
star, and member of the Gopher Varsity) they have chosen
other schools.
By way of a recent letter in the "Catherine Wheel" I learn-that
St. Catherine's College had an exchange program with
a southern school, Xavier University. Several Negro students
from that school were invited to spend a semester in study at
the St. Catherine campus, and in exchange, several students
from St. Paul went south to study at Xavier U.
Initial reaction from the participants, as well as a num-ber
of other students would seem to indicate that the program
was highly successful in making students aware of the civil
rights problem.
Though the St. Catherine program was negotiated through
the presidents of the two colleges, the student council of Bethel
could easily handle such an operation.
The ignorance on the Bethel campus concerning the in-tensity
and prime issues of the civil rights struggle could be
partly remedied by such an exchange program.
Senate Observer (Birch-bark)
College President Initiates Studies;
Student Rights Prime Consideration
Manhattan, Kans.—(I.P.)—What are the rights and
responsibilities of students, faculty and administra-tors
in the university setting?
What should be the role of the university student
in governing himself and in policy making in the
What freedoms are desirable in a climate of
learning which will enhance human dignity and
the development of the student?
These are some of the questions which a 17-man
Presidential Commission on Student Government will
explore at Kansas State University during the current
school year.
In creating the commission of 10 student leaders
and 7 faculty, President James A. McCain charged
the group with "defining the philosophy and clari-fying
the objectives of student government," with
"determining key issues in the area of student gov-ernment
and achieving its objectives."
"The rights of university students and student
relationships with other segments of the university
community are becoming increasingly a matter of
concern and discussion throughout American high
education," President McCain said. He noted that
accelerating university enrollments and growing
emphasis on research threaten to depersonalize
the educational process unless effective counter-measures
are taken.
President McCain noted that students are becom-ing
increasingly sensitive to, and concerned over,
tht state of the Nation and the world off campus.
He pointed to the militant advocacy of views by
groups of students on many campuses and mentioned
the "mounting student impatience with university
rules and regulations, especially as they affect per-sonal
But President McCain added that this ferment
"has raised more questions than it has answered."
Establishment of the Presidential Commission
on Student Government grew out of a meeting of
President McCain with student leaders who ex-pressed
concern with the role of student govern-ment
on campus. President McCain was sympa-thetic
with their aims and in response to their
request established the commission.
Dr. Chester Peters, dean of students and chairman
of the commission, said following the initial meeting
of the group that the commission focus will be on
the individual student — his needs, goals and ac-complishments,
rather than upon techniques or struc-tures.

As much as I would like to write
an article complimenting the Stu-dent
Senate for any accomplish-ments
it might have made this
year which I may have overlooked.
it is necessary for me to inform
readers of the Bethel political
As we all know by now, the
Senate had a committee which pre-sented
good plans for tejuvinat-ing'
the coffee shop. The proposed
methods of raising the money were
bad but that is not the immediate
issue. This called for, as you know,
a one dollar contribution from
each student.
As of Friday, December 16,
the donations totaled approxi-mately
$275. Since Bill Ledkins
and others behind this plan had
confidently prophisied that the
work would be done during
Christmas vacation, they obvi-ously
wished to avoid embar-rassment
and get some action.
This meant covering the fact
that only about 250 students (275
subtract faculty and multiple do-nations
and add a few to give
the benefit of any conceiveable
doubt) gave.
The corollary to this is that they
chose to cover the fact that seven
hundred plus students did not give
because 1) they did not like the
rejuvination plans, 2) they did not
know enough about them 3) they
did not care or were too cheap,
4) they did not feel strongly
enough to give a dollar, 5) they did
not like the fund raising plans, or
6) they had some other unlikely
reason that I must allow for.
It occurred to the Establishment
(usually the Harvey-Keim•Stone-
Schultz-Olson brother complex and
their associates) to have a special
meeting of the Senate called for
the second hour on Friday, Decem-ber

no one would accidentally run a-cross
They also kept certain sena-tors
(i.e.John Sailhammer, a non-establishment
senator concern-ed
that we not shirk our academ-ic
responsibility) uninformed of
the existence of such a meeting.
It is however to the everlasting
credit of Jim Keim that I found
out about it a matter of minutes
before the meeting started.
If he had not told me the deeds
of the Senate might have gone un-noticed.
Expecting fireworks, I de-cided
to cut Anthropology 151

When a quorum failed to appear,
Mr. Halleen, who is obviously pro-administration,
called Ledkins and
the brothers Olson, all obviously
on his side, and these three only.
When at last a quorum was ob-tained,
Dave Livingston (who
had the chair in place of the
conveniently absent Keim) called
the meeting to order. Mr. Living-ston
removed any doubt that
might have existed regarding his
side immediately after R o n
Stone moved that $200 from the
Academic Budget be given to the
Coffee Shop Fund.
Hearsay testimony from Dick
Schultz and Owen Halleen assured
the Senate that the Academic Com-mittee
would not need the money.
No attempt apparently was made
to have Rich Runbeck who had
been appointed Academic Commit-tee
chairman only nine days earli-er,
to express his opinion. Nor was

and it was at their meeting.
I hope Bethel is proud of its
coffee shop for it was bought with
a price. The price is not only the
loss of academic committee func-tions,
but the loss of some degree
of believability in the Senate. This
price is exceedingly high and I
hope next year's Senate will not
exact such high tribute.
Hopefully, next week I can pre-sent
a better story.

Notes Changes
To the Editor:
Congratulations to the Students
of Bethel and the Student Senate
on the good beginnings of a Stu-dent
Center with atmosphere! It
was fun to hear the remarks and
see the expressions as it was first
viewed. Mr. Eugene Johnson, Owen
Halleen, Jim Keim, Mr. Haynes and
the host of workmen are to be
commended on their good work.
Now—let's see it through. Money
and work are still needed.
Bethel Bookstore is happy for
the change. There are several
changes behind the scenes that
will expedite matters for us. The
closet and work space in the Stu-dent
Center were exchanged for
private space in the Post Office,
the downstairs storage closet was
accepted by Public Affairs in ex-change
for space under the college
building front entrance.
Finally, an additional small room
was added where coat racks used
to stand. All of this puts our work-storage
area into one location. It
is most helpful.
Congratulations—and thanks!

as a rather harmless series
of volumes under the scintillating
title, "Characteristics of the Col-lege

Advertising Services, a
subsidiary of Reader's Digest Sales
and Service."
The series was presented in sev-eral
volumes: "Expenditure for

"Expenditures on Proprie-tary

Just as these were about to find
their way into that treasured rub-bish
pile located somewhere near
the southeastern corner of t h e
CLARION office I came across the
following quote: Collegians today
not only have a good deal of money
—they spend it."
I mean, tell me more fella! Here
I stand at the beginning of another
semester with an empty pocket and
a tuition bill of $550, a board bill
of $187.50, book expenses of $40,
and room expenses of $125 staring
me greedily in the face.
Well, I read on and uncovered
some valuable information about
myself and my colleagues in this
collegiate maelstrom. It read al-most
like a true-to-life Ripley's Be.
lieve It or Not. For instance, did
you know that 72.2% of college
males consume cookies during the
semester contrasted with 85.3% for
their coeducational partners?
Now when I came to section
labled "Clothing Ownership" I was
fascinated. Did you know that col-lege
males on the average own 10
undershirts, 10 undershorts, two
pair of cufflinks and one raincoat.
And guys listen to this. Girls
own six bras, two girdles, two com-pacts,
and six heels. 9.3% of the
college males own suspenders and
garters and 42.6% of the females
own gym-suits.
A potentially interesting incon-gruency
was found in the "Groom-ing
Aids Usage" department. Dui.,
Mg the course of the semester
70.0% of the college men will use
razor blades contrasted with 77.9%
for females.
Tennis racquets are by far the
most popular item of sports equip-ment
owned by college students.
Next on the list come bicycles fol-lowed
closely by sleeping bags.
Reading under "Media Expo-sure"
led to several interesting
discoveries: 1) "Playboy" is by far
cont'd. from page 2
ported than during the previous
two months. Now, is that any way
to win a war?
the most widely read monthly ma-gazine
among college students.
26.7% of all students read it reg-ularly,
and 69.3% of all males and
33.0% of all females have read it
during the past thirty days. Draw
any conclusion you wish.
2) Students spend relatively lit-tle
time viewing television. Only
19%view any daytime shows, and
only 28% spend an hour or more
viewing an evening program on art
average weeknight. 3) 50% of all
students sometimes study while
listening to the radio. 4) 67% of
all collegians claim some reader-ship
of a city newspaper, and 5)
(this is the best news of all) 96%
of all students read their own col-lege
So you don't think college stu-dents
are hypochondriacs? 84.0%
use aspirin, 30.5% use cough drops,
and 26.7% use stomach remedies.
When it comes to automobiles,
I read that 58.0% of college males
own at least one and likewise
24.2% of the females.
Browsing through all of these
figures brought me back to that
original statement: "Collegians to-day
not only have a great deal of
money — they spend it." If that
is true, and from the statistics
quoted, it seems to be, then I can
come up with only one conclusion
—I can't be a collegian.
Concerning the war, an open
letter was sent to the President
signed by students from 100
American colleges and universi-ties:

Crushed between the twin millstones of January
weather and final exams, you are saved from total des-pair,
poor devils, only by the knowledge that winter vaca-tion
will soon be here.
Where will you go this year? Will it be Florida again,
or are you tired of jails ? Then how about Puerto Rico ?
A most excellent notion, say I. A balmy and bounteous
island with long white beaches and blue, blue skies and
green, healing seas. And, most pleasant of all, the warm
and gracious people of Puerto Rico ! You don't even have
to know Spanish to communicate with this friendly folk.
Just learn three simple phrases and you'll get along
splendidly : "Buenos dias" which means "Good morning,"
"Gracias" which means "Thank you," and "Que sera
sera" which means "Your llama is on my foot."
In order to help you enjoy the fabled land of Puerto
Rico it would be well for me to supply a bit of historical
background. (It would also be well for me to say a few
words about Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades be-cause
the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel
Blades pay me to write this column and they are inclined
to sulk if I omit to mention their product. Of course, they
don't stay gloomy long, for they are kindly, cheery men
fond of Morris dancing, spelling bees, and temperance
punch—fine, upright types, as true and gleaming and
durable as the blades they make. And if you've tried
Personna's, you know how true and gleaming and durable
that is ! And if you haven't tried Personna's, poor devil,
you've cheated both your purse and face, for Personna's
last and last, shave after luxury shave, close, clean, nick-less,
hackless, tugless, gougeless, scratchless, matchless.
Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades come in Double
Edge or Injector style and are made only by the makers
of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades.)
But I digress. Back to the history of Puerto Rico. The
island was discovered by that popular discoverer Chris-topher
Columbus. Incidentally, considering Columbus'
popularity, it's odd we know so little about him. What do
we really know? Only this :
He was born in Genoa on August 25, 1451, the son of
Ralph T. Columbus, a knee-cymbal vendor, and Eleanor
( Swifty) Columbus, a low hurdler. He was an only child
except for his five brothers and eight sisters. From early
childhood he was an avid reader and spent all his waking
hours immersed in a book. Unfortunately, there was only
one book in Genoa at the time—Care of the Horse by
Aristotle—and after 18 years of reading Care of the
Horse, Columbus grew restless. When rumor reached
him there was another book in Madrid, off he ran as fast
as his little fat legs would carry him.
Disappointment, alas, awaited him there. The only book
in Madrid was Cuidar un Caballo, which proved to be noth-ing
more than a Spanish translation of Care of the Horse.
Then one day Columbus heard from a traveller that
there were millions of books in India, and he was in-stantly
ablaze to set sail. Off he ran on his little fat legs
to the court of Ferdinand and Isabella ( Columbus, though
more than six feet tall, was plagued with little fat legs

teach you their language. Why, I'll wager you'll soon know
far more Spanish than the three basic phrases. You'll know
"Hastalavista"which means "See you later.""Por favor"
which means "Please," and "El tren se par() en las esta-cion"
which means "Your llama has eaten my passport."

Only three more days to Super Sunday and the Super
Bowl! Fans across the country have been eagerly awaiting this
super showdown for years: players have been awaiting the
super payoff ever since the game was first slated, although
papers across the country have constantly quoted the pro
gridders as strongly, and (undoubtedly) truthfully, asserting
that the important factor is the prestige of their team and
league, and not the money.
However, Bethelites who watch this super culmination to
the flurry of post-season grid games might be interested to
note that NBC and CBS shelled out $2.5 x 10' (that's 2Y2 mil-lion
dollars for you musi...er...non-math majors) for TV rights
to the super game. Even without the super receipts of this
Sunday, pro football is now a $65 million a year business—
not bad for a sport that struggled through 30 years of insta-bility
before reaching the financial big-time.
The box office is still the prime source of green stuff,
and the NFL Cleveland Browns head both leagues in this
department by packing in nearly 80,000 fans per conterst.
All told the now Brown-less Browns gross about $4 million;
a low ranking NFL team takes in about $2,600,000.
CBS' $18 million won NFL television rights — that's well
over a million to each of the 15 teams. American Football
League teams will average a take of around $900,000 annual-ly
from their five-year deal with NBC.
Biggest single expense is the player payroll which almost
always exceeds $700,000. The average NFL gridder makes a-bout
$16,000 a year, and the AFL player makes close to the
same. Other expenses include equipment, which runs about
$300 per player, and $225 worth of footballs. and insurance.
Well, back to the Super Bowl for a few parting com-ments.
Although Green Bay is a clear favorite, Kansas City
will show up — even the losers make a lot of cash in this
game. But the Chiefs are conceding nothing; as, star line-backer
Bobby Bell says, "Both teams put their pants on the
same way — if the Packers hang them on the wall and then
jump into them, nobody has told me about it."
This corner will have to stick to favored Green Bush...er...
Bay as the team which will bring home the bacon which, in
this case, is 52 shares at $15,000. As they say, to the victors
go the spoils and EVEN IN COLLEGE BALL EVERYONE

With the dawn of a new year,
cage coach Mack Nettleton has
hopes for a change in his team's
fortunes. Since the Bethel fans
last had the opportunity to view
the cagers at home, the Royals
have dropped three contests and
copped one. The season record cur-rently
stands at 3-7.
If one can remember, a tough
schedule was forecast. The forecast
now appears to have been well-founded.
Looking ahead, one sees a
rocky •road. For that reason, one
might wish to review the games
since December 16.
On December 16 the Royals trav-elled
to Iowa to face Northwestern.
Despite some excellent shooting,
the Royals took the short end of
a 104-96 score. Bethel led 52-51
at halftime, but the Iowans captur
ed the lead for keeps with seven
minutes to play.
Four Royals hit double figures
including Dave Bjorkland with 30,
Ron Pederson with 23, Dick Rob-ertson
with 13, and Edgar Peter-man
with 12.
The next evening our cagers
were completely outclassed b y

record. The lone win came in the
first game of the season against
Osceola Air Force Base.
That night the Junior Royals
blasted the airmen 94-69. The 94
points represents by far the team's
greatest offensive night. After the
Thanksgiving vacation they played
three games in one weekend.

The Royals played perhaps their
finest 20 minutes of the season
that half. On the other hand, the
second half brought a reversal
as the Wisconsin boys handled the
boards with more authority and
won going away.
Tom Stroede and Jerry Kiesman

Hamline, playing them evenly for
much of the game, but lost 58-

last game they lost to Albert Lea
As poor as their record is, the
team has shown some encouraging
signs. In most of the defeats the
team has suffered heavily from
mental errors and lack of team-work.
But the team rebounded in the
second half at Albert Lea, des-pite
many violations, to play
much better ball. So if the team
can cut down on their mistakes,
they should be able to play win-ning
There are also some talented
players on the squad who some-day
should be able to add a valu-able
contribution playing varsity

leader in many departments. Bos-trom
has scored 81 points, shot

leading scorer, but has 28 field

CONCORD, N.C. — It's not often a race car driver intentionally cruises slowly at the back of the field.
CONCORD, N.C. — It's not often a race car driver intentionally cruises slowly at the back of the field.
Jimmie Johnson did it for roughly 60 laps Saturday night, and it earned him a cool $1 million payday.
Johnson used a calculated strategy — he drove hard for the first and last segments, and coasted for the three in between — to join Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon as the only three-time winners of NASCAR's All-Star race.
The five-time champion won the first 20-lap segment of the Sprint All-Star race, then deliberately faded to the back for the next three 20-lap segments at Charlotte Motor Speedway. His plan was to keep the No. 48 Chevrolet out of trouble, then make his play for the win in the fifth and final segment.
"We did a strategy that we thought was best for our team," he said.
It certainly was, even if it was the antithesis of what race car drivers do for a living.
But it worked for this year's new format, which guaranteed the winners of the first four segments would be the first four drivers down pit road for a mandatory stop before the 10-lap sprint to the finish. Johnson's win in the first segment meant he was guaranteed to be the first driver down pit road, and he had the first stall — the reward for his Hendrick Motorsports team winning Thursday night's Pit Crew Competition.
His race, after winning that first segment, was simply to beat everyone else off pit road. Johnson raced Matt Kenseth down the lane, and edged him across the line.
He then needed a clean and quick restart, which he executed to perfection, to pull away for the win. This win comes a week after his Darlington Raceway victory gave Hendrick Motorsports its 200th Cup win.
"Man, I don't want this week to end," Johnson said.
He celebrated by picking up team owner Rick Hendrick, who climbed halfway through the window of the Chevrolet for Johnson's celebratory lap. It was Hendrick's seventh All-Star race win.
"He said come pick me up, and once I got to him, he didn't want the ride," Johnson said. "I'm like, 'No, no, I came to get you, Get on the car.' It was great to take him around."
It didn't look very comfortable — or safe.
"That was the dumbest thing I've ever done in racing," Hendrick said. "I thought I was going to be a busted watermelon."
Brad Keselowski, winner of the third segment, had no chance to catch Johnson over the closing 10 laps. The final segment was the shortest by 10 laps, but Keselowski didn't think it mattered.
"I don't think it was going to make a difference if it was a hundred laps at the end; Jimmie was just that fast," Keselowski said. "You can't really steal any of his thunder on that. I was doing all I could to get by, but wasn't meant to be."
But Keselowski, who won the third segment, wasn't all that disappointed.
"It's all about the restart," Keselowski said. "The high line on the restart just wouldn't go. I don't know if I would have been able to do anything, but I would have liked another shot. We got beat by a five-time champ and two-time All-Star winner, so I think we're doing pretty good. We didn't have enough to pull it off."
Kenseth, winner of the second segment, finished third. He had some tense moments after teammates Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle had engine failures — Biffle's exploded into a giant fireball — and initially wasn't all that comfortable following Johnson's lead of running around the back until the final 10 laps.
"I watched what the 48 did. They won the first one, so they didn't race until the last 10," Kenseth said. "They seem to know what they're doing, pretty smart. We watched that, kind of hung back. There wasn't any reward for racing up through there. You knew you were coming on pit road second."
And after losing the race off pit road to Johnson, and the restart, too, Kenseth knew he couldn't catch the winner. It was Kenseth's fifth top-five finish in 12 All-Star races.
"For me, you got somebody as fast as him out front, there was no way I was going to have a shot in 10 laps," Kenseth said. "Ten laps is kind of short, but yet the fastest car was out front. It was hard to beat that."
Kyle Busch finished fourth and was followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr., who won the fourth segment and advanced into the All-Star race by winning the qualifying race earlier Saturday night. Busch, the pole-sitter, wasn't surprised by the finishing order.
"It was exactly like everybody thought it would be; Anybody who wins the first segment will win the race," Busch said.

General Description
This card combines two topics. It indicates a great experience in love, yet also presents us with the perception that this step is connected with a necessary decision: the renunciation of the previous framework of life (the parental home, the bachelor existence, the many flirtations) and the clear avowal of one love. Only this step will lead to the overwhelming experience shown by the Lovers. This card therefore used to be called "The Decision." It can also indicate necessary decisions that have little or nothing to do with love. In such cases, it means that we must decide with our whole heart, without rancor, and without keeping an escape route open. Which of the two themes this card emphasizes can only be determined according to the background of the question asked. In any case, it means the great unconditional "yes."

Alone In The Cullen Mansion
What trouble can Bella get into while the Cullen's are away? Chapter 10 is out and complete. Sequel soon-ish.
1. Edward's Room
Rating 5/5 Word Count 986 Review this Chapter
"Bella I'll be back in a few days" Edward said to me as he kissed me on the cheek. He was leaving for one of his weekend "camping trips" with Emmett and Jasper.
"I'll miss you!" I shouted to him even though he would have heard it if I'd whispered. I was stuck alone in the Cullen mansion this weekend. Alice was going to go shopping with Esme and Rosalie. Of course she made sure that I knew that she would be "watching me". "Watching" was a bad way to put it. Alice's version of "watching" was watching her visions to make sure that I wasn't getting into trouble. If I was getting into trouble then Alice would call Edward immediately and he would run home as fast as he could. And the final Cullen, Carlisle, was going to be on call at the hospital all weekend.
I turned away as I watched them all leave. Why couldn't Edward just let me go to La Push for the weekend? Jacob and the rest of the werewolves were harmless. It was a lost cause. I decided to give up and find something to occupy myself with for the day.
As I walked into the house I realized that the Cullen mansion really was a lot bigger than I thought. I decided to explore.
"Where to start?" I thought to myself as I stood next to Edward's piano. "Oh!" I said quietly when thought I could explore everyone's rooms while they were gone. "Maybe I could learn more about them?" The question popped into my head.
I walked up the stair to my first stop, Edward's room. As I walked in I instantly scanned the room. I decided to answer the ultimate question that had been boiling up inside my head for the last few weeks…does Edward wear boxers or briefs?
I slowly walked over to his closet and opened the doors. It looked just like you'd think a guy's closet would look like. I looked through the shirts checking to see if there was anything else in the closet when my fingers brushed against where I thought the back of his closet would be. There was nothing but air! Where was the wall? I pushed the clothes aside to see what looked like some kind of headquarters.
My jaw dropped as I squished through the clothes to Edward's hidden room. A robot walked up to me as I looked around.
"What is your name?" It asked mechanically.
"What?" I answered confused.
"Please state your name before I set off the alarm." It threatened
"Bella Swan." I said very clearly, I didn't want the alarm to go off. It seemed to take that as an appropriate answer because it left me alone after that. On my right there was what looked like an 82-inch plasma screen TV. Below it was a huge keyboard with obscure buttons that did who knows what. Curiosity got the better of me. I pushed one.
"Welcome to the Cullen Global Positioning System. Who would you like to find?" The TV asked.
"Ummm how about Edward Cullen?" I asked the computer. Instantly the computer came up with a perfect image of Edward, Jasper, and Emmett speeding through a forest in Emmett's Jeep.
I stayed there watching them for what seemed like forever. I watched them hunt grizzlies for a moment but had to look away before I puked.
"Show me Jacob Black." I asked the computer timidly. Instantly a picture of Jake appeared on the screen. He looked so tired. Next time I could escape and run down to La Push I would have to tell Jake he needed to sleep. Maybe I could give him Lunesta or something without him noticing. No. That would be bad. I couldn't stand to look at Jake anymore. He looked so depressed and I couldn't do anything about it right now. Or could I? That's when I heard the phone ring.
"Hello?" I said when I answered it.
"Bella stay where you are. You can't go to La Push. If Edward knew what you were planning just now he'd have a field day." Alice was not happy. I could tell by the tone of her voice.
"Fine Alice." I hung up.
"Show me Alice Cullen." I practically shouted at the computer. Almost instantly a picture of Alice popped up. Of course she was shopping.
"Hey wait a minute," I muttered to myself, "this thing has sound!" I turned on the sound with a click of a button and then looked back at the screen.
"Bella I know you're watching this. Turn off the Cullen Global Positioning System and leave the Bat Cave." Alice glared at the invisible camera.
"The Bat Cave? What are you talking about? Isn't that from Batman?" I wondered aloud.
"I saw that Bella. Now turn it off and go find something else to do. Teach yourself how to play Edward's piano or make yourself something to eat before I call Edward and have him come home.
"Fine." I muttered silently as I turned off the Cullen Global Positioning System and left the "Bat Cave".
Now that Alice had reminded me that I needed food I was hungry. I walked around the mansion trying to find their kitchen. Eventually I found it. It was completely decked out in top of the line appliances, of course. What had I expected? Something like Charlie's kitchen? Yeah right! I opened the refrigerator to find a weekend's worth of fresh food that must have been bought for my stay.
I selected some supplies to make a salad. After I was done eating I went back upstairs and sat on Edward's couch for a minute. Then I realized I hadn't finished my mission in this room. I eyed Edward's dresser. It was time to find out the truth. Boxers or briefs?

Yale Rowers Ready To Move On
GALES FERRY, Conn. – A year of great progress and accomplishments may have come to an end on the wrong side of a sweep in the 148th edition of the Yale-Harvard Regatta on the Thames River, but nobody with the Yale heavyweight crew took today's results as a blemish on the campaign.
The Crimson won the four-mile race with a time of 21:17.6 compared to the young Yale boat's 21:41.3 to complete a morning of racing viewed by fans in numerous places on the banks of the river and on computers around the world.
With trains and cars crossing over on Interstate 95 and the railroad bridge, the varsity race began at 10:50 a.m., the earliest scheduled start time for a regatta in recent memory. The Bulldogs knew the burden would be on them to match their rival's speed and stay within striking distance.
That's what happened for the first three quarters of a mile in the race for the Sexton Cup.
"Our plan was not to be responsive," said coxswain Oliver Fletcher (London, UK), a junior in the varsity eight. "We expected them to get out quickly, but we stayed with them at the beginning. A mile in, they had another gear to go to and we couldn't follow. They had too much quality for us, but the results don't diminish what we accomplished this season. We turned the corner this year."
The view from the media boat motoring behind the two Empacher Shells and the six trailing coaching launches made it look like a pair of water bugs scooting along the top of the water being chased by a half dozen hungry frogs. Both yellow vessels were doing a great job of staying horizontal but the faster one had just too many seasoned regatta racers.
"We gave full measure today but Harvard was clearly the better crew. We took a huge step forward this season, but the four-miler today was a different story," said Yale head coach Steve Gladstone, who went on to reflect on his young varsity eight boat. "Experience makes a huge difference in this race."
A crew from CBS's 60-Minutes Sports filmed from their own boat and a helicopter that followed the racing from start to finish. Other reporters and photographers worked from the media boat or from the shores, while fans viewed American's oldest intercollegiate athletic event from small boats, docks, rocks, beaches and the Coast Guard Academy.
"We are back in the discussion, and the results of this season – especially the Sprints and the IRA, verify that," said Gladstone, who has won 11 national championships in his coaching career. "This was a superb season with more to come."
The junior varsity race was the closest of the morning with Harvard (16:24.9) taking the three-miler by six seconds. It was a classic battle on a gorgeous New England morning.
"We felt it was a really good race, we raced it really hard. I think it was a true representation of our speed as a boat," said Harry Picone (Brisbane, Australia), who had the four seat in the Yale JV competing for the F. Valentine Chappell Trophy. "It was a bit of a slow race because of the current but the margin was still there and I think it was a good indication of how the crews measured up against each other."
The Elis have newcomers in all three boats and not enough members of the Class of 2016 to make one eight. The Crimson do so their freshman eight raced the Yale third varsity and the result was nearly a 30-second difference.

Dranetz, a 50 year old manufacturer of intelligent monitoring solutions for electrical demand and energy & power quality with over 100,000 clients worldwide, contracted the New Jersey website design agency Cyber X Designs to redesign and re-architect their 400+ page web site. Dranetz's web site was originally produced about 10 years ago and had grown into an unmanageable collection of content and features. It had also developed into a popular resource for owners of Dranetz equipment. The site had poor navigation, confusing IA, and a disappointing user experience which required a complete overhaul to take advantage of current best practices and Web 2.0 principles and technologies.
To meet the challenge, Cyber X Designs started by analyzing the business goals and existing assets which resulted in the creation of an IA and content strategy that was designed to make finding products and support information intuitive and enjoyable. Cyber X Designs coupled the consolidated content with a remarkable modern website design that breathed new life into the Dranetz brand. So much so, that Dranetz carried it into their trade show graphics.
One of Dranetz's primary goals was the generation of leads. To achieve this goal, Cyber X Designs developed and executed a lead generation strategy which included the conversion optimization of Dranetz's library of support materials, which within 10 days of launching had already demonstrated measurable positive results.

Private Integrated Services Network (PISN).
This protocol supports the synchronization of a PISN using the
different sources of clocks available to each PINX. The protocol
is based on the method of synchronization described in annex F
of the International Standard ISO/IEC
11573 .
This Standard is applicable to PINXs which can be interconnected
to form a PISN.

text: I have an ISPconfig 3 install on CentOS 6.2 set up according to The Perfect Server guide. Now sometimes (once or twice a month) named goes crazy and starts eating 100% of CPU and the performace of machine drops down. I have to restart the named service and all is OK for a while. I'm using this machine as a WWW and mail server only, it doesn't act as a DNS server. Is it safe to turn named off completely? Is it used for DNS server only? Or also to resolve the addresses of outbound requests?

text: I have been feeling the cooking bug this week for some reason. I made a few unique dishes over the course of the week that might have been nice to post, but I have been too crunched for time to snap photos and make a blog entry. Today was a little different. I went to my parents' house with the kids and realized they were both going to be working for the next several hours. This was the perfect opportunity to prepare dinner for them and to give my cooking fiend mom a night off.

Occasionally a single limb of a citrus tree produces unusual fruit that looks or tastes different than fruit on the rest of the tree. This is caused by a spontaneous mutation in the cell lines of the limb, which causes a natural modification in gene expression, and is known as a budsport. Many traits such as color and texture of the rind, color and flavor of the fruit, maturity date, season of flowering, and seediness can be altered as a result of a mutation.
Most citrus cultivars arise this way. A classic example is the navel orange, which we know of as being seedless and having a small conjoined twin (the navel) at it's base. This unusual fruit was discovered nearly 200 years ago from a sweet orange tree in Brazil that did not have these traits. In the late 1800's budwood from this tree was sent to the US, propagated onto rootstocks, and widely planted in California. Since then, clonal propagations of this 'Parent' navel have resulted in more budsports, and there are now more than 60 navel orange cultivars in the Citrus Variety Collection at UC Riverside. A popular 'Parent' navel budsport is the 'Cara Cara' navel, with pink flesh and an earlier ripening date, and from the 'Cara Cara' came the 'Variegated Cara Cara', with pink flesh and a striped rind.
Citrus Clonal Protection Program Staff Research Associate Rock Christiano email@example.com welcomes growers and individuals who have, or think they have, discovered a budsport to learn about how to develop it into a novel citrus variety. The choice of what to name it is usually left to the grower who discovered it! More information is available at http://ccpp.ucr.edu/
These photos show fruit on a limb of 'Frost Owari' satsuma which is distinctly different than the fruit on the rest of the tree. This budsport limb, recently photographed near Exeter CA, produced fruit that is smoother in rind texture, more vibrant in color, higher in °Brix, and lower in acidity than the rest of the fruit on the tree. The fruit on that limb is maturing sooner than the rest of the tree and could potentially produce a new 'Early Owari' variety.
