Deep Fried Fair Food — What's Your Favorite? [POLL]
I think the hot dog was the first thing that was battered in corn meal, deep fried and offered up at the fair. For as long as I can remember, I've always had a corn dog at the fair, but now the deep fried menu has expanded greatly and offers up quite a few tasty treats for fair goers every year.
We've just begun fair season here in East Texas and fair attendees at the Gregg County Fair in Longview and the upcoming East Texas Fair in Tyler will have quite a few things to choose from, like fried Twinkies, fried Snickers, fried Oreos, fried Nutter Butter, fried pickles, fried ice cream, fried Coke, fried bacon - at this point I guess you get the picture! If you can drop in batter and deep fry it, the concessionaires at the fairs will give it a shot!
The deep fried trend is a big deal at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas, so much so they've given out awards over the past few years for the most creative and best taste. This year the committee gave the award for most creative to Fried Beer (r) and the Texas Fried Fritos (r) Pie won the blue ribbon for best taste! Unfortunately, I don't think the Fried Beer (r) will be available at our fairs here in East Texas but you can try them if you head to Dallas for the State Fair of Texas, which is open September 28th thru October 21st.
The Gregg County Fair runs nightly through Saturday, September 15th.
The East Texas Fair runs Friday, September 21st thru Sunday, September 30th.

Ed's Final Vegan Diary: Reflecting on Vegan Month
Ed's Vegan Diary
Ed's Vegan Dairy, Week 1: I'm Going Vegan This Month To Keep Kenji Company Ed's Vegan Diary, Week 2: Getting Tight With Tofu Ed's Vegan Month Week 3: The Home Stretch (For Cousin Terry) Ed's Vegan Month Week 4: The Final Week
It's safe to say it's not an accident that I chose February, the shortest month of the year, to be the month that I went vegan. Actually, I didn't choose it— Kenji did, and I have thank him. But even though I was relieved when it was all over, I have to say that my month-long vegan experiment may just change my eating habits forever. It's not that I'm going to stay vegan. It's that I learned so much during this month, much of it surprising. Where do I begin?
Everyone wants to know what I broke my vegan diet with. I thought surely it would be bacon, a burger, some barbecue, a pork chop, a steak, pork and chive dumplings, or some other meaty substance that would satisfy my carnivorous desires. But no—on my last day as a vegan, I bought a ball of salted mozzarella from DiPalo on my way home and left it out overnight (I follow the advice I once got from a mozzarella maker on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx: "If you put my mozzarella in the fridge it's on you"). The next morning I toasted a Hot Bread Kitchen bialy, sliced the mozzarella, drizzled some olive oil, and had the best breakfast sandwich I'd ever tasted, meat or no meat. Turns out, I missed dairy more than meat. That was the first surprise.
In fact, I haven't had any beef this week—nary a burger or a steak or a short rib. But when I do have one of those things, I want it to be worth it. And if it's a dry-aged steak, I'm going to try to limit myself to a slice or two. For me, the best tasting dry-aged prime steaks are grass-fed and corn-finished, which is not quite as good as raising cows on grass only. But my vegan month has made me keep an eye out for meat that's raised sustainably and humanely. Fortunately, I can buy beef like that at my local farmers market on Sundays, which does make things easier. I know some people might have a problem with me eating beef or pork or chicken, no matter how humanely raised the animals are, but at this point I'm not ready to give up meat or dairy entirely. What I will do is be more careful about what meat and dairy I buy—I've become expert at reading ingredient labels with tiny print, so I should know what I'm buying.
I did eat more vegetables, but my problems were three-fold: first, the way I usually make vegetables seriously delicious is by adding some form of dairy or meat, both verboten in veganland; second, I don't really deep down love vegetables like Kenji does; and third, I rarely cook vegetables at home. We are much more likely to have a salad at home, which likely includes some kind of cheese. I did find tasty vegan vegetable and legume options on restaurant menus, but cooking fully vegan at home is still not my strongest suit. I suppose the answer is just cooking a couple of great Kenji vegan recipes on Sunday that we eat the rest of the week. That would thrill my wife, and make me happy, too.
As far as dairy is concerned, I simply like it too much to give it up, but I will buy only cage-free eggs, and while I'll still sometimes drink milk, I've also kept up my soy latte habit at Ferrara's. Cheese is harder to limit in the same way, but I am trying to pay attention to where it comes from. I did lose five pounds during February, which was a little less than I was hoping for. What's been both interesting and encouraging is that I have continued to eat much more carefully and lose more weight.
So if the end result of my month-long vegan fling is I eat more carefully, encourage my friends to order the beef or pork so I can sneak a slice without ordering the whole thing myself, inquire about the provenance of what I'm eating (Portlandia references be damned), and lose weight slowly, it will have been a noble experiment with a promising outcome.

Ted Livingston necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 162 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
After working for the maker of BlackBerry (RIM) for 2 years we noticed a huge opportunity - media management. We are now in the early stages of establishing a partnership with RIM, and have been told this could go huge. We are only students, so we can't afford much, but we are hoping that this logo is the face of the product that will change computing forever (product details in brief)
Also, just to be as transparent as possible, after much thought we decided to go with non guaranteed. The reason for this is that we are students and $175 is a lot of money to us. If we use your logo, we promise you will get paid. If we really feel we can't use any of the submissions, we need the flexibility to back out. We're really sorry about this and hope you understand.
What we have built is a product calledUnsynced. Basically, this is a product that is a desktop mediamanagement application for your BlackBerry. The catch is that theapplication itself is installed on the BlackBerry. Therefore, wheneveryou plug your BlackBerry into a computer the applicationautomatically launches without installing anything. The application looks and functions similar to iTunes, where you can add songs, burnCDs, create playlists, and listen to music. However, all of the musicand playlist files come from the BlackBerry itself - NOTHING is storedon the desktop computer. This may be unrealistic now, but memory capacity is doubling every year with SanDisk announcing a new MicroSD format that can support up to 2000 GBs! But why not just stream everything from the desktop or the internet? Battery capacity is only doubling every 10 years, with network access being the biggest consumer of battery.
Our product means that you can take your entiremobile and desktop media experience with you wherever you go. Yourfriend has a new song you want? Plug in your BlackBerry to hiscomputer, add the song, put it in your playlists, and then unplug - thesong and all the changes now appear on your BlackBerry. Want to listento music through your friends speakers? Just plug in your BlackBerryand use the iTunes-like player that automtically launches, with all your songs and playlists comingfrom the BlackBerry.
So that is what we are doing, we areletting you "unsync" your music experience. Why always go and sync youriPod to your desktop when you can store your entire media experienceright on your BlackBerry and take it with you wherever you go? We wantour logo to reflect this paradigm, basically that your are cutting thecord and keeping everything with you, right in your pocket. We want thelogo to be extremely simple, with the text "Unsynced" and a simplegraphic that reflects the above. There could also be emphasis on the"Un" part (perhaps colored "Un" and black "synced").
Again, wedon't have a ton of money, and will be demanding with the design, butdue to its simplicity we think it could be a good job. And who knows,with all of the interest RIM (maker of the BlackBerry) has expressed inthis, you might just one day see your work everywhere :)
- A simple design
- "Unsynced" "UnSynced" or "UNSYNCED", whatever looks best :)
- A simple graphic that represents the "unsynced" paradigm designed above
- Must (at least) work on a white or light gray background
- Complexity
- Overly strange text :p

Life Science: Session 4
Children's Ideas About Animal Life Cycles
Below are common ideas children in grades K-6 have about this topic, compiled from research on children's ideas about science (see the Session 4 Children's Ideas Bibliography).
Consider what evidence might refute this idea, and why a child would be likely to believe this?
1. Plants do not reproduce in the same sense that animals do.
Plants and animals both reproduce sexually with sperm and egg uniting to form the first cell of a new individual – the fertilized egg. There is an equal contribution of male and female hereditary material, just as in animals. Children may hold this idea because they associate reproduction with the act of mating in animals and they do not observe females or males in plants. Hide Response
2. Plants are neither male nor female.
Plants have male and female reproductive structures. The male structures produce sperm and the female structures produce eggs. In many cases, both male and female reproductive structures occur on the same individual (in flowering plants, they are found in the flower). In other cases there are individuals of "separate sexes." Children may hold this idea because they don't observe what is familiar to them as a female or male and they don't understand that plants reproduce sexually. Hide Response
3. Seeds are not alive, but can give rise to a plant.
All living things arise from other living things. Seeds are formed from a fertilized egg, which is a living cell that arises from the union of two other living cells – sperm and egg. These cells themselves arise from living cells – there is no discontinuity in this process. Seeds demonstrate all the characteristics of life: they're made of cells, they have a life span, they use matter and energy, they respond to their environment, and they carry DNA. Hide Response
4. Seeds contain a tiny adult plant already formed inside.
Children may hold this idea because they do not readily observe developmental differences between a sprout and an adult – one is a miniature of the other. Seeds, however, do not contain tiny adult plants; they contain a plant embryo that has developed from the fertilized egg. In larger seeds, this embryo can be observed by dissecting the seed. Given appropriate care, the embryo can be seen to go through different developmental stages, from sprout to adult. Hide Response
5. Seeds use the sun for energy to sprout.
The embryo inside a seed depends on food stored in the seed to support it until it can begin to photosynthesize as a sprout. If you take this food source away before a seed sprouts, the plant will not survive in sunlight alone. During the sprouting process, a small amount of food begins to be provided by photosynthesis. Once the sprout is established, photosynthesis becomes the sole supplier of food. Children observe that seeds sprout in the presence of sun and water. If they don't know that seeds store food, it's understandable that they consider the sun as the seed's energy source. Hide Response
6. Flowers are for insects to feed upon.
Children often think that one life form exists to serve another. When they observe insects feeding on flowers, this may be a conclusion. Life forms, however, do not have a "purpose"; they have functions, which may include being beneficial to other life forms. Flowers do function to provide food for many insects, but the sole function of a flower for the plant is reproduction. Hide Response
7. Fruits are always sweet, fleshy products of plants.
A fruit is the ripened ovary formed from a flower. A fruit contains the seeds. Many things that children consider vegetables are actually fruits, including pea pods, cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes. Nuts and pods are also fruits. Hide Response

How to End a Job Interview
Margaret Steen | for Yahoo! HotJobs
In preparing for a job interview, you've probably practiced a firm (but not too firm) handshake, rehearsed answers to tough questions about your background, and polished up your lucky interview shoes. But many job hunters overlook a crucial part of the interview process: the very end.
As you finish an interview, you have one last chance to sell the interviewer on your skills—and get the information you need in order to follow up. Experts offer these tips for successfully closing an interview:
Don't leave empty-handed. To be sure you can follow up later, don't leave the interview without getting the names, titles, and contact information of everyone you met. This includes people you may dismiss as unimportant. "You don't know who has pull," says Laura DeCarlo, president of Career Directors International, a global professional association of resume writers and career coaches.
Know the next steps. You should also ask what the next steps are in the process: Will the most-promising candidates be called back for another interview? Is the company about to make a hiring decision? How soon does the hiring manager expect to move to this next step?
"It's totally appropriate for a candidate to ask this," says Peggy McKee, founder of career-confidential.com.
Lay the groundwork for a follow-up. Once the interviewer explains how the process will unfold, DeCarlo explains, "you say, 'Thank you. Is it OK if I call you if I haven't heard from you?'" Although you don't need the interviewer's permission to follow up, having the interviewer say it's OK will likely make you less apprehensive if doing so becomes necessary.
Close the sale. After you thank the interviewer and briefly summarize why you think you're a good fit for the job, McKee suggests asking straight out, "Based on this interview, do you feel that I could be successful in this position? Will you move me forward in the interview process?"
A positive response doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get the job. But the interviewer will likely remember you as a stronger candidate. "When you answer yes, you cross a line mentally," McKee says.
What if the interviewer expresses reservations? "That's the big fear," McKee says. But even though it may be disappointing, it's better to know. "This is your only really strong opportunity to find out what her objections are, so you can overcome those objections."
For example, if the interviewer says you lack experience in a particular area, you may realize that didn't emphasize your relevant experience enough. You can now clarify, either on the spot or in a follow-up letter.
You may get a noncommittal answer—the interviewer may say simply that there are more candidates to interview, for example. If that happens, use this as an opportunity to ask for more information about how the hiring process will play out.
Remember the details. Your thank-you notes will be more effective if you can mention specifics about your interviews. The best way to do this, DeCarlo says, is to write down everything you remember—good and bad—as soon as you can after the interview.

Oosthuizen, Westwood to return to SHO
One year after following up his third-place finish at the Shell Houston Open with a runner-up performance at the Masters, South African Louis Oosthuizen is returning to Redstone Golf Club for the 2013 tournament.
Oosthuizen, who is No. 5 in the world golf rankings, England's Lee Westwood and Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts have committed to play in the Shell Houston Open from March 25-31 at Redstone's Tournament Course.
"It's a good start to a field coming together," SHO tournament director Steve Timms said. "We're a little over 60 days out. With Lee Westwood and Oosthuizen, we've had a nice group of international players who have supported our tournament in the past and continue to support us. Colsaerts is a good up-and-comer."
With fast and firm fairways and greens and light roughs, Redstone's Tournament Course is set up to replicate some of Augusta's shot values. Many of the top international and PGA stars have played the Shell Houston Open to prepare for the Masters, especially when the SHO was the PGA Tour event immediately preceding the Masters from 2007 through 2012.
The Valero Texas Open in San Antonio, which was played in May last year, will be between the SHO and the Masters this year.
Nonetheless, Oosthuizen has vowed to return to the SHO after an impressive 2012 in which he finished second at the Masters and the Deutsche Bank Championship FedEx Cup playoff event.
Oosthuizen, 30, lost the 2012 Masters to Bubba Watson in a playoff.

Janet Evans has been to three Olympic Games, she has five medals -- four of them gold -- and she's returning to the pool in hopes of capturing Olympic glory again in London.
"My coach and I don't call it a comeback, we call it a 'project,'" Evans said, who announced her return to competition in June 2011. "Because every day it evolves and changes and it's kind of living and breathing and we kind of roll with it."
Evans is now 40 years old, and the mother of two young children. She hasn't been to the Olympics in 16 years.
"As a mom of two and a 40-year-old, there were things I wanted to do in my life," Evans said. "I was able to get to a point where my husband could help me more with the kids and we could make our schedules work and it was kind of like, 'why not?'"
Evans has already qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials. She may be competing against women half her age, but that hasn't prevented her from maintaining a grueling training schedule, which includes swimming 10 miles a day.
"I have moments that it's very difficult and my body hurts probably more than it did obviously when I was 18, 19, 20," Evans said. "But there are also days where I feel pretty good and I'm shocked at the things my body allows me to do."
Evans says she has already noticed one advantage that comes with age. "I am definitely stronger mentally and I think that would be one advantage that I have and I think that's an advantage that older competitors have," she said.
Evans gets up by 4:30 a.m., hits the pool for her morning workout, heads home to spend the rest of her afternoon with her family and then goes back to the pool for a late afternoon workout, but makes it home in time for dinner and to put her children to bed.
"Although I am basically working full-time I am still able to be home with my family a lot and that was the most important thing to me to be able to strike a balance where I could feel like I was doing something for me and also obviously be the mom and wife that I really want and need to be," she said.
Evans said she was prepared for criticism from other parents.
"I kind of went into this thinking there'd be a lot of haters, you know? And I think it took a lot of courage to realize that that was going to happen and people were going to question why, and tell me to be home with my children, and tell me I was crazy. And for the most part it hasn't happened," said Evans.
For Evans, the 'project' is more than just a bid for the Olympics.
"Look, I hope it inspires moms to maybe go out and get fit or run a triathlon or do something outside the sporting world," she said. "But maybe just find some time for themselves every day to do something that they dream of and really want to do."
She's taking it one day at a time, enjoying the moment.
"I'm full-well prepared for this to end before London. That's OK. For me, it's just been a really rewarding personal journey," she said. "No one's going to take away my gold medals or my world records because I qualified for Olympics trials at 40 and didn't make the team."
Evans will find out if she packs her bags for London at the U.S. Olympic Trials at the end of June.

Following an executive session on Nov. 28, Niagara-Wheatfield School Board President Steven Sabo made a motion under advisement from the Audit Committee, seconded by Rich Halleen, to freeze all non-contractual spending as of that evening's meeting.
The motion carried unanimously. Absent from the meeting was Richard Sirianni.
During the comments portion of the meeting, board member Christopher Peters explained that the internal auditors found that there may be as much as a $2 million increase in the teachers and employee retirement systems.
"As a board, we are trying to get ahead and freeze spending now so that we can hopefully save some money for next year," said Peters.
In other business, the board approved several substitute teaching positions, but held off on approving coaching positions until the next meeting.
The board accepted a $27,020 donation from the Colonial Village Home School Association to be used for playground equipment. They also accepted donations for the Odyssey of the Mind Program from the Niagara County Sheriff's Office and Heather and Mark Gifford.
The next regular meeting of the board was held Dec. 5 after the Tribune went to press.

Feeding Your Pet These Foods? They Have Been Found To Be Bad
There are so many pet foods that say they are ''nutritionally complete'' and of course, we take it as fact.
However, a new study by consumer advocate Choice has found that one in four of the cat foods fails to deliver the whole package.
To the point where we should not trust them.
The underperformers include home-brand cat food sold by Coles, Woolworths and Aldi but also included food marketed as premium, such as Gourmet Delight, Advance and Dine.
Choice tested a total of 35 cat foods that claimed to be ''nutritionally complete'' and found that while most passed the test, four of them fell below the industry standards.
A further five failed to meet an idea mineral balance which is believed to be essential for feline health.
"Cat owners reading nutrient claims on a pack need to have confidence that manufacturers are delivering a nutritionally complete diet to maintain their pet's overall health," said Tom Godfrey, Choice spokesman.
"We have referred the test results to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission and asked them to investigate."

My apologies to the CognitiveSEO.com staff, and mostly to Razvan who gave our team some hardcore use of their seriously well thought out tool suite. We played around with the old version and now their freshly updated toolbox of digital delights and loved it so much we stuck half of our clients on the platform. I will mention first and foremost that I was in no way paid to write about the tool, and Razvan told me to be as critical as possible.
When it comes to tools, we prefer them being straight to the point and this is what I love the most about CognitiveSEO. I get my easy-to-read yet crazy-in-depth backlink analysis. Secondly, the rank tracking tool is second to none, in my opinion. That's all I really care about, and perhaps one day we'll see Google Analytics pulled into the dashboard, but really that's not necessary.
I'm someone who does a lot of backlink analysis, and chances are if you read my ramblings that you do as well. I've tried most of the tools out there and don't have anything bad to say about any of them, but CognitiveSEO really reels me in with their reports. The ease of reading and understanding is there, but I absolutely love the flow of the reports.
What our customers are saying:
Since testing the software out, we made the decision to get 10 of our clients on their platform as we usually don't offer extensive reporting from our end. Most of our clients are medium-to-large brands, and they've brought on our team to just help out with the link attraction and guidance side of things. By now, most companies that are online have some sort of tool suite in their company infrastructure and shouldn't be too intimidated with something like CognitiveSEO.
With that being said, so far we've had a lot of good feedback, especially for the managers we report to who have to deliver a weekly or monthly report. The majority of our clients using the system found the reports to be straight forward enough that I didn't have to sit on the phone with them going through each little tid bit. We'll take a look at a sample report below, and I'll also provide a PDF download link so that you can view our entire link profile in depth.
[nggallery id=1]
Download The Link Reports: Download Link .CSV and Download The PDF.
Doesn't get any more straightforward than that, and it gives you pretty much all you'd want to know… Especially if you're just doing a weekly or monthly peek. When I'm doing an audit to determine what's causing a site to rank over my competitor in a competitive vertical, most of this data is what I need and I can get a good picture of what's going on real fast.
Link Management Made Easy
This part of the tool suite is REALLY handy dandy. In this day and age, everyone should be monitoring their link losses/gains quite closely, as it can reveal a lot of valuable information. There are not many tools out there that cover this specific link monitoring aspect, and when something bad or good happens, you'll know just about every detail.
Now I don't use any tools to monitor links for our website simply because I don't care at all about them… Weird to hear coming from someone who's job is to attract/build/buy them for a living. I would have shown this off but I cannot expose any of our clients' data here, but from the image to your right you can get a look at a weekly snapshot of what's going on. Notice that CognitiveSEO reports on broken links too, which is in my opinion one of the best features of the whole package.
Geoff loves to monitor our clients' competitors heavily and wait for a broken link to pop up and snag their links right out from underneath them… So sneaky and devious, I LOVE it. Watching your links by the daily or weekly during content marketing and link bait campaigns is also a breeze. This definitely helps us respond quickly to mentions and get involved in the social conversation and complete the branding part of our job.
It doesn't stop there, either… Took me nearly 2 weeks when I first started using CognitiveSEO to notice that I could scroll to the right and get even more data on the links coming into our client's profile. If the link coming in is from a partner/contact, you can manage those details and see them on your monitored links. Besides seeing the AC Rank – and I LOVE this – is that it tells you what part of the page the link is on, ie body/footer etc. I will admit we also haven't used the "Link Partners" aspect of the tool yet, as we mostly just do link attraction here, but it's straightforward and yet another reason to start using this platform.
Rank Tracking Made Easy (And Pretty)
Knowing where you rank is not only important information to know, it's yet another addicting statistic that I like to check on a daily basis. It's pretty straightforward to use and review reports with CognitiveSEO, although the best feature is most likely the rank tracking compared to your competitors. This will alert you to their mega movements or losses, as well as allow you to report to clients or the boss about how you're doing that day/week/month/year.
Pricing and Contact
I'd like to thank the whole team over at CognitiveSEO and Razvan for being so patient with me and giving me access to the tools for testing and feedback. You can click on the button to the right and try it yourself free for 14 days, and this is not an affiliate link or anything from me, just straight-up free goodies for your to try out. If you're already on one of other other platforms then I highly recommend playing around with this, because it might just surprise you.

"There's a New Non-ideological Political Power in the Arab World"
Dr. Hottinger, Egypt and Tunisia are the Arab countries which, as you put it, have the "first act" behind them, and have toppled their dictators. They now face the second act. What might that look like in Egypt?
Arnold Hottinger: The army there took over power with promises, but it's not yet clear whether the Egyptians will get what they wanted: genuine elections, free political parties, freedom of information, an independent judiciary. The army, whose commanders are deeply rooted in the existing system, is not used to having to submit itself to the state. At the same time, it has to take account of the feeling in the lower ranks. The lieutenants think much the same as the students, and, unlike the army command, they don't have positions or privileges to defend. That's why the army didn't shoot at the demonstrators: it wanted to prevent the possibility of a split within its own ranks.
The main issue is now: when will there be elections, and what will they be for? A president, a parliament, or a new constitution? It's too early to speculate about individual candidates, like Amr Moussa or Mohammad elBaradei. They don't have parties, and it will depend on when the elections take place as to how well they're organised. You can't build real democratic structures from one day to the next. On the other side, you have the economy, and the economic issues work in exactly the opposite direction: the longer the transition takes, the less likely there is to be, for example, foreign investment, which is very important for the country.
You mention elBaradei und Moussa – in the West people tend rather to speculate, sometimes in a very tendentious way, about the chances of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Hottinger: Europeans think they have a political understanding of the Muslim Brothers. That's nonsense, because the Muslim Brothers are in the process of splitting. There are those who want democracy – the others want democracy too, but in an Islamic form. In addition there are breakaway groups like "Wassat", who aren't Muslim Brothers at all any more, and they also stand for basic democratic ideals. This fear of the Muslim Brothers is laughable. They are no longer the bogeymen which they were perhaps in 1949.
What effect might the fall of Mubarak have on policy towards Gaza?
Hottinger: The peace agreement with Israel will continue, but an elected parliament will without doubt not maintain the blockade of Gaza. This would accelerate the loss of power of Fatah, which has already started, and could benefit the pragmatists in Hamas.
Libya is still fighting to free itself from Ghaddafi – and many people fear a civil war there.
Hottinger: It seems to me that we already have a civil war, although it's being fought with light arms and not with heavy weapons. Ghaddafi can't send his tanks to the east; there's a good chance that many of his troops would change sides, and he knows that. That's why he's deploying them only in the area he already controls, around Tripoli or in Azzawiya. All he has left are the African mercenaries – the troop he established during the war in Chad. So a no-fly zone would be useful, so long as it wasn't restricted to the Mediterranean coast, but also extended to the southern area of the country in the Sahara.
But the Americans are over-extended, they don't want to get involved in another war, and they say to the Europeans, "Go on, do it yourselves." The Europeans say, "OK," but, as usual, they get bogged down in the details of agreements and organisations.
While it appears that the whole population in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya are demonstrating, the situation in Yemen seems to be different.
Hottinger: Yes, that's why it's more political and less sociological. In Yemen, I also see the danger of a "failed state." The situation is very complex. It's clear that the south wants to secede. But it's not clear if that's also the aim of the Ismaili-Shiite Hutis in the north. I'm not even sure if all the Saidis agree. Either way, the Saidi tribes have had to put up with a long history of foreign domination, and they want more power for themselves now. That is clearly one of the reasons behind the protests by the Hutis.
But I don't know whether they, as a Saidi sect, have their own ideological aims, or whether we're seeing a Saidi resistance to the central power of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in Sana'a. Saleh has been playing the tribal game very successfully for decades. If he goes, there's no-one who can do that as well as he can.
The tribal element will remain, since Yemen is far too varied to allow a normal democracy to be established. At the same time, the non-tribal population – the urban dwellers, the students – is larger than the tribes, and that will weaken them in the long term. It is the non-tribal population which is the main element in the demonstrations. The army still seems to support Saleh. But Yemen is politically divided and economically exhausted. There are shortages of water, money, petrol. And it's unlikely that someone can come along who can hold all that together.
In Syria the situation seems particularly calm, in Saudi-Arabia there have been only isolated incidents, but in Jordan there seems to be a genuine struggle for power.
Hottinger: The crucial point in Jordan is: will there be a regime in which the king is involved, or will he rule the country on his own, as he has done until now. In addition to the concentration of power, he has also angered the Jordanian tribes in that he has let himself be supported by an "upper class" of Palestinian families. Economically speaking, they are often more competent and have succeeded in getting rich more quickly. They are the only source of financial support for the royal family. The Jordanians don't like that, they feel that the country belongs to them. And, at the same time, the ordinary people are having to cope with rising food prices.
If one considers the many other conflicts in the region – Algeria, Morocco, Bahrain, and also Iran – one might think that 2011 will be the 1989 of the Middle East.
Hottinger: It won't happen that fast. But something has started. There's a new non-ideological political power such as there has never been before in the Arab world. All of a sudden, the people don't talk about nationalism or Islamism, they talk about concrete things like freedom of opinion or a functioning parliament which will provide the framework for a sensible economy. This revolution reminds me rather of Germany in 1848: that revolution may have failed and we ended up with the German Empire for a time, but it led to a deep change in mentality which took root in the people. That's what will happen in the Arab world.

Early exit leaves Braves with plenty of questions
ATLANTA -- Now that another once-promising season has ended with yet another early postseason exit, the Braves are again left to ponder about what might have been.
David Carpenter held himself accountable after the Braves ended their season with a Game 4 loss to the Dodgers in the National League Division Series on Monday night. But the decisive two-run, eighth-inning home run that he had surrendered to Juan Uribe had simply served as the final blow to an Atlanta club that began to wobble in late August.
ATLANTA -- Now that another once-promising season has ended with yet another early postseason exit, the Braves are again left to ponder about what might have been.
David Carpenter held himself accountable after the Braves ended their season with a Game 4 loss to the Dodgers in the National League Division Series on Monday night. But the decisive two-run, eighth-inning home run that he had surrendered to Juan Uribe had simply served as the final blow to an Atlanta club that began to wobble in late August.
"We have a complete team here, from top to bottom," Brian McCann said after playing what may have been his final game with the Braves on Monday. "We wish we had more games to play. This is a special group of guys. Talent-wise, it's the best team I've ever played on."
At times, the Braves looked like legit World Series contenders. They won 13 of their first 15 games and then escaped a long stretch of mediocrity to go 20-4 from July 26 to Aug. 21, which was the day Jason Heyward's jaw was fractured by Jon Niese's fastball. Minus these two impressive streaks, Atlanta went 63-60 and looked much like the club that was outhit, outpitched and outplayed by Los Angeles during the NLDS.
"You know, it's going to be one of those seasons that you're not going to appreciate for about a couple of weeks," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "And then you will say, 'You know what, it was a pretty darn good team. [This was a] pretty darn good season.'"
Regardless of how the season is evaluated, it was one that fell far short of the great expectations that existed when Atlanta owned Major League Baseball's best record as late as Sept. 12. At that point, the Braves were in good position to earn the NL's top seed, which would have provided home-field advantage leading up to the World Series and, more importantly, a chance to play the winner of the NL Wild Card Game instead of the Dodgers in the best-of-five NLDS.
While facing the Pirates in Buctober might not have been an easy task, it certainly would have been less imposing than having to face Clayton Kershaw twice during the four games played in the NLDS.
Now that the season is complete, the Braves can only wonder if things would have been different had they not gone 13-14 in September, leaving them one win shy of gaining the NL's top seed.
What if David Hale would have been added to the expanded roster before Kameron Loe lost his unexpected start against the Mets on Sept. 4? Would things have turned out different had Gonzalez not opted to give Jordan Walden a chance to prove he was healthy in a one-run game against the Phillies that resulted in a costly loss on Sept. 29?
Should B.J. Upton have been given more of a chance to build on the success he had when first returned from the disabled list in August? Along these same lines, did Atlanta give Dan Uggla a fair chance when the team essentially benched him after he had recorded just 41 plate appearances after undergoing LASIK surgery?
When the playoffs began, the club's two highest-paid players were essentially spectators. Uggla was left off the NLDS roster and Upton was a backup outfielder. Scott Downs, the club's key Trade Deadline acquisition, was also left off the playoff roster after allowing hits to nine of the 13 left-handed hitters he faced in September.
"We all realize we didn't achieve the goal we set out to do," Heyward said. "But we did give our best and I'm just proud to do it with this group."
It was a group that was both flawed and resilient. Despite losing their top two projected setup men -- Eric O'Flaherty and Jonny Venters -- to season-ending elbow surgeries in May, the Braves led the Majors with a franchise-record 2.46 ERA. Two days after losing Tim Hudson to a gruesome season-ending right leg injury on June 24, Atlanta began a 14-game winning streak.
After serving as a catalyst during that winning streak, Heyward suffered the broken jaw that kept him sidelined for a month, a stretch during which the Braves split 26 games. There was no denying the resiliency of this club. But it never did quite overcome the late August groin injury that ended Walden's days as a reliable setup man.
With Walden out of the mix, Atlanta's bullpen experienced a gradual late-season decline. It compiled a 4.24 ERA during the regular season's final 16 games.
Then, of course, with a cruel twist of fate, this bullpen that served as one of the team's strengths throughout this year surrendered what proved to be Los Angeles' knockout punch. Gonzalez said he was ready to give Craig Kimbrel a chance to record a four-out save on Monday night, but it was too late for Kimbrel to save the season.
Would things have been different had Gonzalez allowed Kimbrel to enter either at the start of Monday's eighth inning or at least after Yasiel Puig doubled down the unguarded first-base line?
Maybe. But these are just a few of the questions the Braves will continue to ponder as they look back on this season and think about what might have been.

Meat Cleaver Attack on New York Street Halted by Firefighters
(NEW YORK) -- A New York woman is in critical but stable condition Monday after she was rescued by firefighters who saw her being attacked with a meat cleaver.
The woman was attacked by her husband about 10:20 a.m. Sunday in the Chinatown section of Manhattan, police said. Stunned firefighters from Engine 9/Ladder 6, who are also known as the "dragon fighters," saw the assailant raise a cleaver and strike the woman in the head, police said.
Several firefighters rushed across the street to wrestle the attacker into custody while another firefighter pursued the bloody and panicked woman into a store to treat her wounds.
"[There was] a lot of blood. They said there were lacerations to the head, and also cuts and lacerations to the torso," FDNY spokesman Jim Long told ABCNews.com.
Ming Guang Huang, 28, was arrested. The woman's name was not immediately released.
Firefighter Jose Ortiz told reporters he rushed across the street to help after hearing screams.
"All of a sudden I see the cleaver go up and he swings down, he hit her in the head, that was the first shot, and I'm thinking I've got to grab this guy," he told reporters. "We rushed across the street to help after hearing screams."
Ortiz and firefighter James Trainer were able to hold Huang down, Long said, while other firefighters were able to flag down the police.
Firefighter Shane Clark caught up with the victim a few blocks away.
"There was a language barrier," he told reporters. "We were trying to get her to stop, but she wouldn't let us go near her. She was covered in blood and we were trying to calm her down. She was very disoriented."
Emergency medical personnel responded and took the 24-year-old victim to New York's Bellevue medical center where she is currently admitted.
"I was happy that we were there to help," Ortiz said. "I'm sorry that we weren't there early enough to stop the whole thing altogether."
Huang is charged with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon and harassment. The New York Department of Corrections was unable to confirm if Huang is receiving a psychiatric evaluation before he is arraigned.

- Wildlife
- Amphibians
- Great Crested Newt
Philip Precey
Newts are amphibians, breeding in ponds during the spring and spending most of the rest of the year feeding on invertebrates in woodland, hedgerows and tussocky grassland. They hibernate underground, amongst tree roots and in old walls. The British populations of this rare amphibian are internationally important.
How to identify
Our biggest newt, the Great Crested Newt is almost black in colour, with spotted flanks and a striking, orange belly. The skin is warty. The males have a long, wavy crest along the body and on the tail during the breeding season, giving them the appearance of mini dinosaurs.
Where to find it
Widespread across lowland England and Wales.
When to find it
- March
- April
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
- October
How can people help
In past times, the Great Crested Newt would have lived in natural wetlands across Britain. But human activity, including the drainage of land for agriculture and the loss of ponds through development, has resulted in the disappearance of many wetlands. This has taken its toll on wetland wildlife like newts. Being particularly partial to lowland farmland and old quarries, The Wildlife Trusts are working closely with planners, developers and farmers to ensure this 'Warty Newt' is looked after. If you know of a pond that might have Great Crested Newts in it, contact your local Trust to ensure it's recorded and protected.

SPORT will not be included as a mandatory element when the new national school curriculum for health and physical education is introduced in 2014.
Instead, as a nation seeks ways to repair its dented sporting pride, the question will be left to state education departments and private school systems.
Australia's Olympic chief, John Coates, has blamed the federal government's failure to make sport compulsory as one of the reasons behind a disappointing Olympics.
The team's performances in the pool were so poor that Swimming Australia yesterday announced an independent review into the failure to win an individual gold medal for the first time since the Montreal games of 1976.
Sport is compulsory in virtually every NSW school, including the entire public system, prompting the Premier, Barry O'Farrell, to tell those wishing to turn fingers of blame on NSW schools to point them somewhere else.
But Steve Georgakis, a lecturer in the faculty of education at the University of Sydney and the author of Youth Sport in Australia, says a bad situation is set to get worse with a national curriculum. Even mandated sport in NSW schools has been ''completely residualised'', he said.
''It's there because it's a bludge for many teachers and also for many students as well. It's a way of filling in an afternoon of school time. They may as well not be there at all but in 2014 it's going to be a lot worse.''
But when it comes to watching television, Australian children are up there with the best, with a new study finding almost 50 per cent of children watch more than the recommended maximum of two hours each day.
Growing up in Australia, a longitudinal study of children, found 46 per cent of six-year-olds watch more than two hours' TV each weekday. On weekends, the figure rises to 52 per cent. One-third of eight-year-olds watch six hours of TV at the weekend.
''The evidence is convincing that a high TV viewing kid is going to be less physically active and play less organised sport,'' Professor Jo Salmon, of the school of exercise and nutrition sciences at Deakin University, said.
Dr Georgakis said Australia needs a system that supports grassroots sport. ''We need to institutionalise and value sport in the education system, promote a mass sport model for all and then you can identify gifted and talented students and give them a pathway in which they can excel,'' he said.
Two leading principals say sporting bodies need to lift their games when it comes to schools.
''I'm always amazed the state and national bodies aren't coming into our schools and seeing what we are doing. I would have thought that would be a priority for them,'' Roger Davis, the principal of Westfields Sports High, said. ''They should be coming into the schools, especially the sports selective high schools, and telling us 'this is the direction we are going, this is the way we want your coaches to be coaching'.''
Shane Hogan, the headmaster of Riverview and the chairman of GPS Headmasters Association, agreed. ''No one is talking to us at all,'' he said. ''Unless we seek them out - and pay them - it's not going to happen.
''If the kids are good enough they can get there but they are not coming and talking to us [asking] if our coaches aren't good enough, are there things they can help with?''

The quietness and reverence of the chapel picture sets mood for
Deeper Life week. This special week is being held on campus Oct. 5-9.
Off-Campus Students Notice:
Information Brochure for You
Brochure Ready Oct. 8
Making its appearance soon on the campus will be a new broch;:r...
concerning off-campus student housing. It is hoped that the informa-tion
will be of value to student tenants and also the householders. The
brochure is intended to acquaint householders with Bethel policies and
some of the services provided and to clarify rental agreements and re-quirements
for housing. Interested students may secure a copy of the
brochure in the Student Affairs office after Oct. 8. It will also be placed
in the post office boxes of students living off-campus.
Cars, Teachers Needed
Many opportunities are still available in several areas of Christian
service. Men with cars are needed to drive for gospel teams. People are
needed to teach Sunday School classes.
Check With Calendar
An all-school calendar is kept in the Student Affairs office and any
scheduled group activity or campus activity should clear with the Student
Affairs office at least a week in advance.
A little light from Bethel's new campus lights, and the reflec-tion
from a loiterer's coat invades an underexposed film. The modern
lanterns atop poles light the sidewalks, add a friendly touch to the cam-pus,

Students Dr. 'Bob' to Speak at Deeper Life Week
The promotion of better under-standing
between the student body
and the dining room staff through
effective communication is the pur-pose
of a recent committee formed
by student senate.
The present committee is a dir-ect
result of a committee formed
because of student and faculty in-terest
in 1957. At that time this
committee conducted a survey in
the Bethel dining room.
The members of the present stu-dent-
faculty committee chaired by
Roger Erickson, college senior, are
Shirley Neuman and Steve Peter-son,
college sophomores. Faculty
members of the committee are Miss
Jeannine Bohlmeyer and Dr. Roy
Improvements such as the hiring
of a new dietician, Mrs. Alice John-son,
and the plan whereby a salad
may be substituted for a desert re-sulted
from the first food investi-gations
The present committee functions
as an intermediary between the
student body and the staffs of the
dining room and coffee shop. Ac-cording
to Mr. Erickson, sugges-tions
and constructive criticisms
by students are welcomed.
Bethel's largest musical organi-zation,
the choir, has this year ex-panded,
under the direction of pro-fessor
Robert Berglund, to a 52-
voice group.
The increase is approximately
twelve members over last year's
group. It was felt by the director
that limiting the choir membership
to 40 would be a detriment in the
performance of certain music.
Secondly, the average touring
choir of most American colleges
today numbers 60 and building the
choir in size enables Bethel to
keep abreast of other colleges. It
was also felt that more students
possessing high vocal ability should
be given the opportunity to par-ticipate.
The choir's agenda reveals a
busy schedule of rehearsal for sev-eral
public appearances in the fall
months, with a two - week tour
highlighting the spring season.
Tentative plans for the tour send
the choir into parts of Canada,
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wis-consin,
and Minnesota.
The choir is internally governed
by a slate of officers which in-cludes
Conrad Lundberg, president;
Martin Penner, vice - president;
Larry Peterson, business manager;
and Carol Hurd, secretary-treas-urer.
Professor Berglund emphasized
the purpose of the choir in stating,
"It's our sincere desire as director
and choir members to not only
perform music artistically, but to
be of spiritual blessing and inspir-ation
to those to whom we min-

Student Senate 'Meets'
The Bethel college and seminary student senate met in an unusual
atmosphere in its first meeting on Sept. 21. After last year's elongated
budget meeting, some entered the meeting with a little apprehension
about discussing money for the next several hours.
The result of this apprehension resulted in a quiet little get
together of about two hours length.
The action, or lack of action, resulting from two issues, demon-strated
something of a passive attitude on the part of the student
One of these, of course, was the budget, which the senate quickly
disposed of by establishing a committee consisting of the president,
treasurer, last year's treasurer, and council and committee heads who
receive funds directly from the senate. (The seven voting members of
the senate not represented on the committee compose seven tenths of
the student senators who achieve their position by election: three of
these are elected on the campus level and four on the class level.)
This "time saving" measure might easily have been avoided by
introducing almost any reasonable budget to the senators, who prob-ably
would have passed it with the non-questioning attitude that char-acterized
the meeting.
The other point in question was the Monday and Tuesday evening
conflict of intramurals with club meetings and the like. A decision from
somewhere above the student level places Wednesday and Thursday
evenings off bounds to activities and Friday and Saturday are reserved
for those events designated "all campus."
This situation precipitates two questions. The first simply questions
the authority of those making such a decision with regard to student-planned
activities and the other questions the wisdom of the decision
in light of the conflicts which exist. One member of the senate thought
enough to raise one of these questions in discussion, but the topic was
dropped by the common consent of the body who spoke not at all.
Perhaps this difficulty of apparent nonconcern will fade with ex-perience
as a new senate adjusts itself. A change of tactics is desir-able
when one realizes that the student senate, to a large extent, formu-lates
the plans regulating extra-curricular activity. C. W.

Historical Chronicle
Sept. 16 A villain had the impiety to poison the sacramental
wine at the great church at Zurich; but it being discovered by
the bad taste, providentially none were made sick by it. It is
said to have been done by the sexton, owing to his want of em-ployment
in grave digging.

Kent, about nine at night. (A more particular account of this

Average American Student Revealed
to be "Anti-intellectual" by Visitors
( The following was taken from the Chicago
Daily Tribune, and was written by Wayne Tho-mas.
It's importance should be nearly universal
on a campus such as Bethel.—Editor)
Champaign, Ill., Aug. 25—Young Americans at-tending
the country's colleges and universities are
"anti-intellectual," according to foreign students
who visit institutions of higher learning here.
The average American student of either sex is
more interested in social advancement and in plain
job training than in learning for the sake of wisdom.
Bar "Wisdom's Warmth"
The following poem was cited as a nearly per-fect
expression of the average American college stu-dent's
basic approach to his school. It was included
in a paper outlining crucial issues in American
higher education delivered in a workshop session of
12th National Student Association congress now in
its second day on the University of Illinois campus
"0, mute
Sitting stiff lipped in committee: We don't ask
to be
Seasoned or inspired.
We don't seek wisdom's warmth;
We just want
Each of us, a good job."
Foreign students envy Americans the magnificent
campus facilities available to them, the libraries, the
apparatus in laboratories, the grounds, housing, and
buildings in hundreds of America's advanced schools.
They also envy American students their closeness to
faculty members.
"What we all sense and never understand is the
American scorn of learning and of accomplishments
in learning," a dozen foreign student observers or
participants in the congress told this writer. "It
seems that American tradition of hard work and of
overcoming a harsh nature has led its people away
from appreciations of learning for the sake of learn-ing."
Eye on "Succeeding"
"Americans go to school to prepare themselves
for succeeding," said Nory A. Adrous, 22, an Alger-ian
student who has spent a year at the University
of Missouri in Columbia, Mo. Prior to his entry into
the United States in 1956, he had studied in French
elementary schools in Morocco and later a France
university in Toulouse.
"In all Europe, there is the fiercest kind of com-petition
to obtain an education. Students carry work
loads many times heavier than in the United States
and are constantly examined by professional com-mittees
which demand real attainments and real
capacities before permitting young students to ad-vance
to the higher institutions.
"Weed Out Mediocre"
"The European idea is to give education only to
the minority group which has the drive, the inate
ability, the intellectual capacity to achieve great
eminence. The system there is established to weed
out the mediocre or the lazy.
"American educational approaches are for the
masses. American students with unlimited oppor-tunities
for attainment are likely to prefer to spend
half or more of their time on courses like 'bridge'
or 'folk dancing' or other such frivolous subjects.
"In my country the thirst to know, to learn, is
so great that my government cannot even consider
establishing laws for compulsory education," said
Nugroho Notosusanto of Jakarta, Indonesia.

Gentlemen's Magazine Donated to
Library; Epoch of Literary History
by Conrad Woodall
"More in Quantity and greater
Variety than any Book of the Kind
and Price," says the Gentlemen's
Magazine of itself. A collection of
the English magazine in some 125
volumes ranging from 1731 to 1840
has been presented to the Bethel
library by Mr. Harley Hallgren of
Portland, Ore. Mr. Hallgren,
road man, is a relative of Dr. Wal-fred
H. Peterson and a friend of
This magazine has been describ-ed
as the forerunner of the mod-ern
magazine, and its appearance
in 1731, an epoch in literary his-tory,
There is an interesting story be-hind
Mr. Hallgren's donation. In-deed,
Mr. Hallgren is an interest-ing
man. A collector of books,
many of which he may never read
("Books are like friends; some
you know real well, and others
only in passing."), he came across
the Gentlemen's Magazine in an
antique store in Portland. The dis-covery
is involved with one of the
folksy tales, which railroad men
such as Mr. Hallgren seem to have
an abundance of.
It seems that Mr. Hallgren used
to return by bus from a certain
run of the Spokane, Portland, and
Seattle railway. This bus passed a
little antique store, and he, being
an extremely inquisitive man, visit-ed
the store. Upon inquiry, he was
directed to the back room where
books were to be found, and he
discovered this rare collection.
Mr. Hallgren didn't buy the set
immediately, but he did tell his
wife of the find. After a little
while, (enough time to raise the
from 50 to
65 dollars, unknown to Mrs. Hall-gren)
Mrs. Hallgren suggested
that her husband take a recent tax
refund check and buy the collec-tion.
The investigation by this man
into the magazine itself and its
ownership through the years could
easily and enjoyably fill this, the
preceding, and the following pages,
if the filling of advertising space
didn't make it financially unfeas-ible.
Mr. Hallgren in search of some
of the missing volumes has scour-ed
newspaper offices, old houses,
and the state board of health. The
inquisitiveness of the man is fas-cinating.
While telling his story
of the magazine, he inserted num-erous
anecdotes with regard to
discoveries made and apparent im-passes
For example, one obituary that
he was seeking was unavailable
because a newspaper in Oregon
happened to go on strike for ten
or fifteen days several years ago.

We're Getting Us A New Course Around Here
by J. Larry Johnson*
Lance C. Dailey, well-known senior and authority
on coffee-shop procedures has released news of his
new project. Holder of the all time endurance record
for coffee shop attendance, Mr. Dailey has taken
over the professorship of this department.
Mr. Dailey's office (first booth, left side) will be
open at all times for counseling freshmen and orien-tation
processes. Says Dailey, "Everi though all of
my plans are not yet complete, and many more
coffees will be tossed down before I sign the char-ter,
I know I have a good thing."
Students majoring in coffee-shop are warned
that at any time Mr. Dailey desires, a spot quiz
on the daily discussions may be tossed at the class.
Students are emphasized to take close notes on the
formal discussions as well as the seminar sessions.
When asked for the reason as to why he is doing
this organizing, Dailey replied that he feels this is
by far Bethel's strongest department, and proper
organizing of the masses is the only weak factor.
Many rousing slogans are under consideration
for the opening class brewing, one is: "Unite you
thirsty throated theologs".
When presented with the problem as to how he
plans to hold his position as department head, Dailey
hoisted a 32 oz. boiling coffee pot and replied, "Can
you chug this?"

Bethel Drops Opener in B G C Ron Brisson
Intramurals N.W. Wins
Over Royals
Last Saturday, the Royals foot-ball
squad took on Northwestern
(Wis.) in their first conference
game at Hamline stadium. North-western
won 19 to 7.
Bethel's greatest difficulty was
moving the ball once they pene-trated
the Northwestern twenty
yard line. Their offense ran well
with the exception of the passing
attack. Several times during the
rainy afternoon Bethel fans moan-ed
as pass receivers dropped some
very fine throws from Ken Baird
and Les Borms.
One of the few passes that
clicked for the Royals gave them
their lone touchdown. The score
came in the last quarter from
within the Northwestern ten yard
line where Borms hit Les Larson
who had nicely eluded the man
covering him. Paul Evan kicked
the extra point.
The Northwestern tallies were
recorded in the first, third, and
fourth quarters on a pass, quarter-back
sneak, and an off-tackle
Northwestern never dominated
play for a long period of time, but
they were effective often enough
and at the most opportune times.
Their defense wasn't necessarily
strong except within that twenty
yard line. They took no chances and
in the latter part of the game kick-ed
on third down several times.
The weather was a definite fac-tor
in the running game. And a
partial one in the passing game.
The Royals for the third week beat
their opponents on paper, but not
on the scoreboard. Had Royal ends
held just a few of the passes they
dropped the game could have had
a different outcome.
Royals Lose
Game, Luckman
by Larry Bradshaw
Thursday, Sept. 17, the Bethel
Royals added another mark in the
loss column. The victors were Ma-son
City junior college, Mason
City, Iowa. Although the Royals
pushed the Mason City team
around on the ground and led in
first downs 9-2, the opponents
found loopholes in the Royal de-fense
and scored three touchdowns
on passes to win 18-6.
The Royals gained 195 yards
rushing against Mason City's 60,
whereas the opponents totaled 161
yards passing to offset the Royal's
50. The Royals lost only 55 yards
in penalties while the Mason City
crew was chalking up 100 yards.
Ken Baird scored the only touch-down
for Bethel on an end run of
10 yards. The extra point attempt
was missed.
Stu Luckman suffered the games
most serious injury and was placed
in Mound Park hospital, St. Paul,
with a broken leg. He has since
returned to campus, but is lost
to the team for the season.

The athletic council again this
year will sponsor an intramural
football program. The council, with
Dick Benert as its chairman, has
appointed Ron Brisson, junior, to
organize this program.
Brisson announced that eight
teams will be organized, and every
male student will be placed on a
team. Captains will be named and
it will be the captain's job to or-ganize
his team. The football play-ed
will be a form of touch foot-ball.
The intramural program will con-tinue
throughout the year. It will
include basketball, badminton, table
tennis, softball and other sports as
interest is shown.
Each male student is urged to
support his team in the sports he
is interested in playing. The pro-gram
is varied to the extent that
all men should be able to partici-pate
in at least one sport.

Whether it's best to leave the toilet seat up or down is a moot point in our house. For at our place everybody knows the toilet lid itself must be closed prior to flushing. It's about containing the germs as well as making the bathroom look as civilised as possible.
Just think: every time you flush the loo it stirs up all the nasty bugs inside and allows them to float invisibly around the bathroom. And that's not an old wives' tale either. Even the health professionals agree lids help prevent the spread of germs. As quoted at nursingtimes.net in Nursing director: put toilet lid down when flushing: "Leaving the lavatory lid up can allow a cloud of bacteria to explode into the air, settling on nearby surfaces, including towels, flannels and, more worryingly, toothbrushes."
Evidently, research at Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust found that "bacteria could be transported up to 10 inches above a toilet seat when left open and remain in the air for up to an hour and a half."
I received this information gladly since I've long been insisting on this protocol for the exact same reason. Other toilet-related issues pale into insignificance in the face of this most pressing point.
You can forget such trivialities as whether the seat should be up or down (although, for the record, the answer is, obviously: down) and how the toilet paper should be installed on the toilet roll holder (clearly, the leading edge of the toilet paper should be farthest from the wall - and, ergo, most readily accessible to the user). The twenty-first century's bog standard dilemma is all about lid position. And it's a no brainer, really.
Handily, in always ensuring the toilet lid is closed there's no way that snakes or rats or alligators from the sewers can slither or crawl into your house via the toilet. Now maybe that's a New York thing (and, anyway, myth-busting website Snopes has dismissed the alligator rumour as false) and not so applicable to our neighbourhoods but I won't be taking my chances and testing it out any time soon. So I can be certain that my toilet will not be serving as a portal for undesirable wildlife - nor will bacteria be routinely catapulted into our bathroom at every flush.
What's the toilet etiquette at your place? Are you a seat-up or seat-down type of person? And what's your thinking about lid position? Or is your mind not bothered by domestic minutiae of this nature?
