Board Considers
Faculty Vacancy
Members of the school board of
trustees are in the process of se-lecting
a professor to fill a vacancy
left by Harry Lundell, who is now
in Chicago, President G. Arvid
Hagstrom announced.
Classes which Lundell taught are
now being instructed by Everett
Backlin, Martin Erickson, and E.
A. Finstrom.
Problems Considered
Consideration is also being given
several problems which concern
the future. This, he mentioned, in-cluded
the physical strengthening
of the school in laboratory and
classroom equipment and the con-struction
of a women's dormitory.
According to Dean Emery John-son,
the building would provide
rooms for 36 women, a dining hall
for 150 students, and a reception
room for social activities of the
school. A fireplace is expected to
add to the latter.
"Although Bethel is already in
very good standing with the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, it will con-tinue
its policy of strengthening
scholastic standards," Dean John-son
stated. "This can be accom-plished
by more rigid entrance re-quirements
and imparting more
knowledge to students."
Library Policy
A policy as to the library was
also stated by the dean. New books
are being purchased at the sugges-tion
of faculty members. Maga-zines
added this summer are "For-tune,"
"Saturday Review of Litera-ture,"
"The Congressional Digest,"
and "The American Magazine."
A "Penny-a-Meal" project for No-vember
is being sponsored by the
school . board. Previous efforts have
brought in $6,000-$6,500.
New members of the school com-mittee
include the Rev. Walter 01-
son, secretary; Marvin Samuelson
state executive secretary; Thor
Knudson, treasurer; A. Anderson,
assistant treasurer; Alfred Ander-son;
C. R. Wall; Robert Klingberg;
Ernest G. Nelson; and Nels Swan-son.

Malmsten Tells About
Supporters' Liberality
By Gunnar Hoglund
Since Bethel has sent out its ap-peal
for financial aid, several ex-amples
of sacrifice and of loyal
Christian stewardship have been
revealed. Of the hundreds who
have given in one form or another,
Wyman Malmsten, field representa-tive,
tells about several who have
"given until it hurts."
One elderly woman, because she
had a heartfelt desire to help the
school but had no money to give,
donated her own long-cherished
golden, wedding ring.
Malmsten has as his task the en-couragement
of giving to Bethel
and also of telling our young peo-ple
about educational opportunities
at Bethel. This past summer he
covered sections of Minnesota, Wis-consin,
Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa.
In the next few weeks he plans
to campaign in upper Michigan.
For November and December, his
itinerary includes the state of Kan-sas
and several Eastern states.
South.Dakota Rally To
Draw Seven Students
Seven South Dakota students will
travel to their state over the week-end
to attend a Swedish B.Y.P.U.
rally in Strandberg.
Those making the trip are: Carl
Lundquist, Melvin Swanson, Rod-ney
Kephart, Grace Swanson, Le-ona
Pearson, Evangeline Malm, and
Violet Carlson.
Lundquist will preside over the
meeting, and Miss Pearson is at
present vice-president.
Clarion Skating Party
To raise money for the Clarion
budget, a skating party will be
sponsored by its staff Monday eve-ning,
October 23, at the Roller-drome
at 7 o'clock, the staff an-nounced.
Clarion reporters will sell tickets
to students before this date. Gene
Nyman is in charge of sales.
Male Chorus Stands
Much As Last Year
Only five new members were
added to the Male chorus this year.
Sixteen are remaining from last
season, according to George Hult-gren,
The new singers include: Glen
Soule, Gordon Larson, Paul Tulga,
Robert Perrin, and Robert Paulson.
Professor Hultgren states that
the prospects for a successful sea-son
are especially bright, and the
entire chorus is looking forward
with enthusiasm to the work ahead.
He says also that tentative plans
have been made to organize a worn-en's

Gospel Activities
Take 80 Workers
About 80 students have respond-ed
to a call for gospel team volun-teers,
according to Herschel Rog-ers,
president of the Council of
Religious activities.
These groups are under the lead-ership
of Albert Johnson, Robert
Paulson, Francis Otto, Donald
Johnson, and Valentin Hauk. These
teams are the biggest and best or-ganized
branch of the Religious
council, Rogers said.
Services Held
Already considerable service has
been rendered by members, he
went on to say. This last weekend,
team one conducted a service at
the Linnea old people's home. Paul-son
took his group to the West-side
branch of the Union Gospel
mission. Team three took over the
B.Y.P.U. service of the Prospect
park dhurch on its Bethel Sunday.
Team four has also visited the
Linnea home, while Hauk took his
team to the West-side mission.
Officers Named
Rogers plans to have the Reli-gious
council go into new lines of
endeavor this next year. He is as-sisted
by William Hagstrom as
vice-president; Pearl Peterson, sec-retary;
and Paul Lundgren, treas-urer.
The Missionary band is also an-other
branch of the council. This
is headed by Hagstrom.
NYA Aid Maintains
21 Student Workers
Fifteen men and six women are
able to continue in school because
of funds allotted by the govern-ment
for NYA work, Dean Johnson
The college receives $213 per
month ($1,917 per year) from the
Federal government, and $25
monthly ($255 yearly) from the
State for this aid. Students are
paid for their work on the tenth
day of each month, and checks
range from $5 to $15, according to
the amount necessary.
"The money granted is used for
general improvement, reconstruc-tion,
painting, office work, and the
like," Johnson stated.

Sport Sparks
By Vernon Pearson
For the past two years Bethel
has been tentatively promised six-man
football, and in both cases
many ✓ ave been disappointed on
their arrival at school. Each fall
and spring the cry has been, "Next
season we will have six-man foot-ball."
Again it seems that "next
year we may have six-man foot-ball"
Last year the Southern Minne-sota
junior college conference con-sidered
the advisability of having a
regular schedule for this sport, and
it was reported that such a plan
was under way. Now several of
the teams have gone ahead with
eleven-man teams.
To an observer of campus activi-ties
there seems to be no reason
why Bethel cannot have an eleven-man
football team.
At present, there is a tourna-ment
involving many fellows who
would be interested in football. The
enrollment of the school would be
increased to a certain extent if
football were made a regular part
of extra-curricular affairs.

Cooperation Needed
Volume XIX coming up on the Bethel Clarion
—that must mean that our newssheet is 19
years old. With the years, changes come and
go. Accordingly, we have tried to give our
readers something a little new this year.
Your new staff is attempting to live up to
the successes of former staffs. We want to
produce the best that we know how to do.
But we also need your cooperation. In order
to make the Clarion an interesting paper, we
must be able to publish advance information
about events on the campus. Our bi-weekly
publication cannot allow us to summarize past
events: those facts are known to all and are
not news. Therefore, if the clubs and activities
want publicity in the Clarion, they must be
ready with future plans when a reporter comes
to them.
We have an eager and active staff already to
work. Let us cooperate with each other.
Clarion Proposes
Bethel does have something unique to offer.
Although we have only a small student body
and inadequate means and finances, no one
can deny that our Institute does not have a
definite mission to fulfill.
Your Clarion staff summarizes this program
for your consideration. It is our platform for
the coming year.
First, we emphasize a more fervent and spir-itual
atmosphere in the student body. We
should exemplify the highest qualities of Chris-tian
life in action. This can come through par-ticipation
in religious activities, prayer, and
We also propose that a cultural and schol-astic
preparation for life's work is important.
Let us fit ourselves for the best.
Third, we urge a participation in extra-curricular
activities for personal benefits. And
last, a full support of our school and its activi-ties
with a good school spirit is needful.
We are here for a purpose. What is it?

Lest there should slip some name unsung
Lest on Fame's highest ladder rung
Some Bethelite (with wit to spare!)
Is missing—somehow is not there.
Oh, let it ne'er be thought or said
We've kept the laurels from his head!
Let none such wag his lively tongue
Or wail, "No chance to me had come."
For such as he we've saved a place
And ask that one to fill this space
With words of wisdom, or in rhyme,
And thus commence his upward climb.
And then on some far distant day
When to the top he's made his way,
He shall, in retrospective view,
Admit, "Dear Clarion, Thanks to you!"
Or Will He?
At any rate we invite Bethel students who
are poetically inclined, or who possess a philo-sophical

In these days when people are selling their
birthright for a mess of pottage as Esau did,
it behooves us to give serious thought to the
times in which we live and the days that are
ahead. We need to consider that these times
are testing times\ educationally as well as re-ligiously.
Christian schools—so-called—have
not infrequently been the cause of youth being
led astray from the faith; Christian churches,
at least those that are so-called, have often
lost their spiritual influence and witness,
hence lacked the power of molding lives into
the maturity of the Christ-life.
In the midst of such confusional environ-ment,
God has been gracious to Bethel and
spared her from slipping from the moorings of
faith. God has, therefore, honored such loyal-ty
by His gracious favor in that an increased
number of students from a wider area and al-most
entirely from Christian homes, have reg-istered
this year, for which we are devoutly
grateful. May it be to each of us, teacher and
student, an earnest challenge to wholehearted
consecration to the God, whose we are, and
whom we love. Acts 27:23. May it also be our
goodly portion to hear Him say to us, as He
said to Paul: "Lo, God hath given us all that
sail with us. Wherefore, be of good cheer; for
we believe God, that it shall be even as it was
told us."
It is time for everyone to pray: "God give
us men; give us a sense of the world's need;
give us an assurance of the needed wisdom and
power to meet this need this school year.

Several unofficial clubs seem to be in the
offing. Those heard of are a PK ("Preachers'
Kids") group and a Danish club. Let's see them
grow, and yet not develop into social classes
on our campus.

Singing of a hymn and prayer would en-hance
all of our classes. Five minutes spent

would profit all concerned.

Greetings, one and all! It sure seems like
old times to see last year's bright and smiling
faces (at least, faces) popping around corners
with a big "I'm-a-sophomore" grin located
somewhere between the left ear and the right.
And who are those little tots yonder? Wihy,
they're the frosh, of course ! Remember when
we had that certain give-away look, too? But
don't mind the ribbing, chilluns! There's plenty
more to come.
Speaking of our new-corners, have you no-ticed
the unusual selection of fair damsels?
What a question! Stupid, eh what, boys?
Gordy "Pete" Peterson, for instance, doesn't
seem at all grouchy these days. Boys! What
dimples! ! (Ginnie's, I mean.)
Due to certain self-evident conditions, the
members of the Phooey-to-the-Men club have
placed Gracie Widen and Ethel Tederman on
the "Inactive list." Someone, however, has
made a correction. As it now stands: "Those
girls are now on the 'Active list.' " Hm-m-m.
Sounds logical.
Said Herschel Rogers when Art Slaikeu, an
alumnus, visited us one day: "Iz Slaikeu?"
Get 11, 999"
The freshman class of the Seminary didn't
even let a down-pour dampen their spirits on
their little jaunt one certain Wednesday night.
Methinks 'twill always remain an unsolved
mystery how they stretched two umbrellas
over the heads of several ladies in distress.
Ah! my hero!
Jack "Knobby" Bergeson has had a little
heart trouble of late. Notice it anybody? We
were happy to see Gladys Peterson, too, Jack.
She looks prettier'n ever.
Several of the boys have put in bids for Lit-tle
Sisters these past few weeks. Orville John-son
is still disappointed, as he feels he can
make a perfectly capable and lovely Big sister.

When we honestly consider our great re-sponsibility
of living and preaching the gospel,
do we not feel the need for a renewed
One individual very aptly asked, "Are we
sufficient?" We are compelled to answer neg-atively.
But then, what about the message
which Isaiah has to bring when he says, "They
that wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength: they shall mount up with wings of
eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and
they shall walk and not faint."
Thus, Isaiah tells us of a renewed strength
received through waiting upon the Lord. Would
not this imply that we patiently, yet expectant-ly,
through prayer and meditation, open our
entire lives to Him?
But what will the results be? Ours will be
an experience of elevation. Soaring above the
worldly atmosphere, we will breathe the purer
air of the spiritual sphere. Furthermore, we
will experience rapid progress. Many duties
will be performed "runningly," that is, with a
ready mind and an affectionate zeal. And last-ly,
our experience will be that of walking in a
steady course.
May we not wait upon the Lord for renewed
strength which will enable us to get higher, go
faster, and live more calmly consistent?

As the founder of Foothill College's Celebrity Forum Speaker Series, Dick Henning has hobnobbed with everyone from movie legend Cary Grant to the late Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. But it's the education he had received growing up in Taft, Calif., a rustic yet wealthy oil town west of Bakersfield, that served as early inspiration for his own long career of educational and community service.
It "formed the foundation of where I am today," Henning said. "I appreciate it more and more."
Henning worked summers in the Taft-area oil fields before earning a "teeny" boxing scholarship to San Jose State University. He eventually completed two master's degrees and a doctorate in education administration.
After working seven years as a high school English and speech teacher in Sunnyvale, Henning said he "jumped" at the chance in 1967 to apply for the job of Foothill College's director of student services.
At the time, the college was struggling with dwindling interest in its student-services card. Job seeker Henning proposed a bold idea: To make the card more valuable, he suggested creating a series of compelling cultural events open to card holders. The $20 card would have a more than $400 value. It was a big goal, and one that Henning figured he would not get the chance to deliver on.
"There were more than 100 applicants. I knew I wasn't going to get the job," he laughed.
To his surprise, "I got a call the next day that says, 'You're hired.'"
Henning made good on his idea, and the Celebrity Forum was born. Luminaries such as archaeologist Louis Leakey and broadcaster Alistair Cooke were among the first to take the stage.
And though Los Altos Hills may not be known as a hipster haven, during Henning's early tenure many seminal rock bands also visited Foothill College.
Acts including The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Fifth Dimension performed.
"The Doobie Brothers were a nice group. It was an incredible job," Henning said.
But it wasn't all peace, love and feeling groovy.
"People forget, it was rough times," Henning said of the turbulent years between 1968 and 1970, which saw student demonstrations and a campus-wide shutdown in 1970. But Henning remained with the college (he retired in 1997) and his beloved forum, which outgrew its space at the college and now takes place at the Flint Center in Cupertino. The wildly successful series, which features seven speakers a year, is now self-supported by ticket sales (admission costs $290-390 per year). It routinely sells out.
"The series is now in its 43rd year. I don't see it weakening; it's a real service, a free exchange of active ideas. I think it's here to stay," he said.
Henning is particularly proud to have had Cary Grant as a speaker in 1978, as the shy actor had never done a public-speaking event of its kind before. Henning's also brought every president from Gerald Ford to Bill Clinton to the series.
One speaker he would love to get that he hasn't yet? Nelson Mandela.
Henning has also served on the boards for United Way of Santa Clara County, Los Altos Sister Cities and the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce. He's done years of volunteer work with the Rotary Club of Los Altos, with which he has delivered wheelchairs in five countries and cleaned up beaches, among other activities.
With Rotary, there are "tangible results. You could see how grateful someone was to get a wheelchair. It is so rewarding."
An achievement for which Henning takes pride was bringing the first woman into the club, in 1978.
"What a difference women have made," he said.
Henning lives in Mountain View, near the Los Altos border (in 1996 he was named "Los Altan of the Year" for his community contributions) with his wife, Paulette. Between them he and Paulette have three grown children and five grandkids. The Hennings also currently share their home with a cat, Tucka.
"It's my wife's favorite thing in all the world," he said. "I have to admit, it's a pretty good cat."
Though he's now 76, Henning has no plans to stop his community work.
"You've got to stay active, mind and body. Plus my wife loves it when I leave the house," he joked.
"It's so interesting, so much fun," he said of his continuing involvement with the speaker series.
"They can wheel me out in a chair as long as I can still talk."

Its an American icon, the sign welcoming the world to Fabulous Las Vegas.
But until you actually stand beneath it, in all its flashy neon fabulousness,
you can have no idea how hard it is to get to.
It rises from a median on what is essentially a six-lane highway at the southern end of Las Vegas Boulevard better known as the Strip. Its 3:30 on a Thursday afternoon and weve just made the mad dash to the sign across three traffic lanes in the company of Steve Connolly, a Massachusetts native and the man recognized as the top Elvis Presley tribute artist in Sin City.
Connolly is in costume, sort of a Paradise,Hawaiian Style look, with a bright floral shirt, light slacks, and boots. Its very hot and humid as a thunderstorm bears down on the area, but Connollys makeup and hair are holding up well.
There is a crowd of fellow daredevils already at the sign excitedly taking pictures of each other. They erupt in ecstasy as someone strongly resembling the King of Rock n Roll arrives everyone wants to take home a shot featuring an Elvis and the sign. Camera flashes fire left and right. Connolly is extremely accommodating, striking a pose and smiling for one and all.
Its good to be a kind of King.
Connolly, who was born in Winchester and grew up in Malden and Worcester, has been living and working here for 10 years. He has witnessed a lot of change. Ive seen all the new hotels being built: The Venetian was the Sands, the Bellagio was the Dunes. Its an amazing transformation.
We asked Connolly to give us an insiders look at Las Vegas not necessarily all the glitz and glamour, but the places hes come to know and like and a bit about how the town works. And maybe tell us some of the things he misses about Massachusetts. Over the course of 48 hours, we got about as much as we could handle.
Our day started at Connollys home in a new suburb south of the Strip, where he lives with his wife, Tia, and their young children. Similar housing developments are popping up around the city, now the fastest growing area in the country. The stucco house is distinguished by the guitar-shaped pool in the backyard and the massive portraits of Elvis painted by Connolly who attended the Worcester Art Museum School on display in the living room.
Connolly, who wont give his age but looks to be thirtysomething, got his start in music playing in pop metal bands around Boston. He began making appearances as Elvis during the early 1990s at Dicks Last Resort in the Hub and made the leap to Las Vegas as a jumpsuit-period Presley in a Legends in Concert show.
As we drove to the Bootlegger Bistro, Connollys pick for a late lunch, he said hes seen the fortunes of Elvis tribute artists in Las Vegas rise and fall like the hotels on the Strip. When I got here in 96, there were two Elvises, then three, then the place was saturated, he said. Now, Connolly says his is the citys only full-time Elvis show in a casino showroom. Most Elvises survive doing weddings, he said.
At Bootleggers, an Italian eatery that has been in the city since 1949 and at its present location near an outlet mall since 1999, Connolly orders his favorite: orange roughy francese with a side of angel hair pasta and extra Bolognese sauce. He likes Bootleggers because the fish is fresh, he says, and otherwise you really cant get good seafood in Vegas, except at the high-end places.
Bootleggers is owned by the family of Lorraine T. Hunt, the former showgirl and lieutenant governor who recently failed in her bid for the governors office. Connolly says it is also a popular latenight hangout for performers like Vegas legend Clint Holmes and Tom Jones, when hes in town. You never know who will show up and sing, he said.
The next night, we catch Connollys show at Fitzgeralds Casino Hotel downtown, in the original Glitter Gulch a few miles north of the Strip. Connolly performs five nights a week in a showroom that seats around 200 and is certainly not fancy; there was no waitress service the night we were there. But he puts on a great show, channeling virile late 60s Presley in a well-paced, dynamic set, with an informed distancing for the enthusiastic audience as he reminds them, Im not Elvis.
His encore includes his original ballad Good Night, which won honorable mention in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and is included on Connollys Truth CD. The song gets a warm reception before Connolly wraps up the evening by vowing Elvis has not left the building and launching into a crowd-pleasing version of Suspicious Minds.
After the show, Connolly, still in makeup and now dressed in a black shirt and sport coat, takes us to Limericks Steakhouse at Fitzgeralds because the clam chowder reminds him of home. Its a little too glutinous for us, but the steaks are fine. Connolly recommends people ask for the aged ribeye, which is not on the regular menu.
Later, we step outside Fitzgeralds and into the middle of the Fremont Street Experience, a fiveblock, open-air entertainment area canopied by a sound and light show that features 12Æ million synchronized LED modules. Connolly has worked all over the city, but hes now a supporter of downtown Vegas. The old Vegas vibe is becoming a novelty for people who romanticize the good old days. Its good to be part of that, he said.
As we stand on Fremont Street, the overhead screen explodes into an ear-shattering display featuring racing cars zooming in all directions. Despite the sky full of distractions, many in the 11 p.m. crowd stare at Connolly and pose with him for pictures. He continues to accommodate. Its my job. When Im not working, I conceal my hair under a Red Sox or Patriots cap. But Im a people person if I want privacy, I can stay home, he said.
Its good to be the King. Kinda.
Its closing in on midnight when we hop into Connollys Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab pickup and head for the Strip. He rarely drives on the Strip too much traffic so we take Industrial Road, which parallels it. As we cruise the slightly seedy back way, Connolly offers gambling advice (Always bet the maximum on slots), and makes recommendations on some of the strip clubs that appear on both sides of the street.
Our next stop is the New Frontier Hotel and Casino, one of the Strips original hotels and where 21-year-old Elvis Presley made his first Las Vegas appearance in 1956. We stop in at the Smokin Ass Cigar Shop, a subsidiary of the coffee company with a similar name and a shared smiling donkey logo that sponsors Connollys show. (He admits to mixing the Rockin Ass Hawaiian coffee with the Dunkin Donuts beans he has shipped in from Boston.)
On his nights off, when he doesnt have child care duties, Connolly likes to come to the cigar shops walk-in humidor and enjoy a hand-rolled stogie with a blend of Hawaiian and Dominican tobaccos. Business is slow at the cigar shop, which is open past its normal closing time, but things are hopping at nearby Gilleys Saloon, Dance Hall and Bar-B-Que, which features bikini bullriding this evening and mud wrestling on other nights. We pass because we have a date at Studio 54 at the MGM Grand, where Connollys wife works as a hostess and is waiting for us.
The MGM Grand is massive and parking is a problem even as the clock closes in on 2 a.m. We move through the crowded casino and the diehards look up from their blackjack hands as Connolly strides quickly by. At Studio 54, Connolly is on the guest list and Tia, a former cheerleader with the Indianapolis Colts, greets him with a hug. Were escorted to the VIP lounge, where we nurse a nightcap and watch the dancers writhe on the floor below while Connolly dances and chats with waitresses and friends.
We are running out of gas.
At 3 a.m. Connolly takes pity on us and drives us back to Fitzgeralds, where our car is parked. Asked if he would ever move back to Massachusetts, where he has many fans and plays sold-out concerts at Mechanics Hall in Worcester and the Berklee Performance Center, he chuckles softly.
Id have to have a fleet of SUVs and helicopters if I ever went back East, he said. Because I used to get stuck in the snow. A lot.
For now, Connolly says he wants to pursue his painting and songwriting and record another album of his own material. Things are changing in Elvis world; media mogul Robert F.X. Sillerman has bought everything Presley-related except Graceland itself and is talking of licensing tribute artists. He shut down Elvis-A-Rama, a Las Vegas museum attraction, at the beginning of this month. Connolly says hes not worried.
Ive been given an opportunity to pay tribute to one of the great artists of the last century, he said before driving off. I make a good living, Ive got a great family, and, man, I love this town.
Its kind of good to be King.

World Cup Player of the Day: Game-changer Robben does it again for the Dutch
He may not have been on the scoresheet, but once again it was Arjen Robben who won the match for the Netherlands on Sunday with the tricky footwork that has brought so many goals and so much controversy over the years.
-PHOTOS: Dutch leave it late to beat gritty Mexicans
With the score at 1-1 and extra time looming against Mexico in the World Cup last-16 clash, the experienced forward dribbled the ball into the penalty area and drew a tackle from Mexico captain Rafael Marquez that was controversially deemed a foul.
The Netherlands scored the resulting penalty, cementing Robben's terrific tournament so far for Dutch fans but sparking outrage from Mexico's team and supporters who saw a dive.
"He cheated, it's sickening," said one Mexican fan amid a storm of reaction on Twitter. "The type of embellishment employed by Robben is exactly what drives Americans crazy," added a sympathetic US football-lover.

World Cup Player of the Day: Game-changer Robben does it again for the Dutch
Some incensed Mexicans called for retrospective punishment for Robben, in the same vein as a ban on Uruguay's Luis Suarez for biting. But his admirers said Robben had simply shown - with his pace, drive and knack of turning games - just why he is one of the greatest players in the world.
If Robben's arm-flailing fall was melodramatic, then so was Marquez's lunge ill-judged given just who was in front of him.
Followers of the balding 30-year-old's glittering career know that one way or another, with injection of pace, a mesmerising trick, or a theatrical tumble, time and time again for club and country he is the man who decides games.
Robben began this World Cup in scintillating style with two goals against reigning champions Spain in a 5-1 drubbing that shook the supposed footballing order of Europe.
He also scored against Australia, putting him on three goals so far and no doubt aspiring to overtake current top scorer James Rodriguez of Colombia as the tournament progresses.

World Cup Player of the Day: Game-changer Robben does it again for the Dutch
Saturday's quarter-final against Costa Rica or Greece is another great chance for Robben to shine.
It has all been the perfect way for him to banish the haunting memory of the final four years ago, when he missed a one-on-one chance against Spanish keeper Iker Casillas that could well have given the Dutch their first ever World Cup.
The image of a disbelieving Robben, hands on head, remains one of the lingering memories of the 2010 World Cup.
He arrived in Brazil, however, at the height of his powers, with a string of injuries behind him and a confidence-boosting season as a key member of a great Bayern Munich side.
Robben's move to Germany in 2009 helped dispel much of the criticism that dogged his early career in England and Spain.
Despite winning league titles with both Chelsea and Real Madrid, he had never really lived up to his billing as one of the most exciting attacking players in the world.
His characteristic ploy of cutting in from the right to fire a powerful shot off his left foot often ended in derision from fans when the ball flew over or wide.
But the move to Bayern and the appointment of former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola in 2013 have seen him improve immensely and with a fit Robben pulling the strings, Bayern's dominance has not been limited to the domestic scene.

World Cup Player of the Day: Game-changer Robben does it again for the Dutch
Having missed a penalty in the 2012 Champions League final against Chelsea, Robben redeemed himself in 2013, scoring a last-gasp winner against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley to claim Europe's most prestigious club prize.
Now Robben is gunning for the ultimate world prize, one that has eluded his nation to earn the Dutch an unwanted reputation as the best team never to win a World Cup.
For Mexico coach Miguel Herrera, however, Robben's tournament should be all but ended.
"If the referee was fair, their second goal wouldn't exist," a furious Herrera said, accusing Robben of diving three times.
"Because Arjen Robben would have been sent off for a second yellow card. But if you don't book him after the first one, then the player knows he can get away with it."

This week, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has been more unhappy with the federal government than usual.
If that's possible.
To review: The first-year senator from Houston took to his keyboard yesterday, complaining on Twitter about the the intrusiveness of big government, especially in recent weeks.
Whether it's #IRS, #NSA, #Benghazi, or #Obamacare, one thing is clear. Fed govt is too big, too powerful, and too unaccountable.
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 10, 2013
Tuesday morning, Cruz's messages had a similar tone … but a different message. Cruz's next tweet target was constitutional rights, or as he saw it, a stunning lack thereof.
With the recent pattern of abuse of #BillofRights, trusting this Administration not to abuse power has become increasingly difficult.
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 11, 2013
W/ #NSA monitoring various activities of private citizens, maybe by tweeting #BillofRights, someone who took oath to uphold it will read it
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 11, 2013
Cruz then proceeded to give his followers a refresher course in fifth grade social studies as he tweeted each line of the Bill of Rights for all to read.
31 tweets later, all ten amendments could be found on his Twitter feed. However, due to Twitter's 140 character limit many of the amendments had to be split up between multiple posts; in the case of the fifth amendment, six posts.
Not surprisingly, the most popular tweet based on total retweets and favorites was the second half of the Second Amendment:
#BillofRights #Amendment2 the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. (2/2)
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 11, 2013
Fueled by disagreement over the recent NSA searches, the next most popular tweet came from the first section of the Fourth Amendment:
#BillofRights #Amendment4 The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, (1/4)
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 11, 2013
The least popular? That would be part three of five of the Sixth Amendment, probably due to the fact that it doesn't make much sense out of context:
#BillofRights #Amendment6 which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause (3/5)
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 11, 2013
Cruz's Constitution marathon yielded hundreds of retweets, favorites and responses; many urging him to run for office in 2016. As a freshman senator, Cruz has not denounced rumors that he will run for president and continues to ensure that people know his name and message, especially how seriously he takes the first ten amendments.

Bulldogs' First Postseason Appearance Since 1979 Ends In WNIT's First Round
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Yale University women's basketball program made significant strides throughout the 2010-11 season in the quest for higher prominence among the nation's Division I basketball teams, but that does not help heal the sting from a loss that ends a season.
The Bulldogs saw a few firsts, and even a some things that they had not accomplished in decades, but none of the accomplishments were bigger than the way they ended the 2010-11 season. The Bulldogs made their first-ever appearance in a national postseason tournament, qualifying for the Women's National Invitational Tournament by earning the Ivy League's automatic berth that goes to the League's second-place finisher.
Yale finished tied for second in the Ivy League with Harvard, with both teams closing the season with identical 10-4 records in League play. It was Yale's highest finish since the 1988-89 season, the only other season that Yale finished Ivy play with a 10-4 mark. Yale earned the Ivy's automatic berth by sweeping Harvard during the regular season for the first time since the 1993-94 season.
Yale's reward was a meeting with Atlantic Coast Conference power Boston College, a team that entered the game as the ninth-highest scoring offense in the nation. The Eagles are led by senior Carolyn Swords, a 6-foot-6 center who is the nation's best shooter (72.2 percent) and averages 17.6 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.
The Bulldogs found a way to limit Swords, but the rest of the Eagles did more than enough to compensate.
Senior guard Jaclyn Thoman scored a game-high 23 points to lead Boston College to an 85-61 win over Yale Thursday night in the first round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament inside John J. Lee Amphitheater, ending Yale's first postseason tournament appearance since 1979.
Boston College senior forward Stefanie Murphy scored 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while freshman guard Kristen Doherty added 11 points and five rebounds. Yale held Swords to just nine points, well short of her 17.6 ppg. average, but she was still a force in the paint, grabbing a game-high 11 rebounds in only 20 minutes of action.
Yale was led by freshman forward Janna Graf, who scored a team-high 15 points to go along with four rebounds and three steals. In her final game in a Yale uniform, senior forward Mady Gobrecht collected 10 points, five rebounds and four steals. Junior forward Michelle Cashen scored 11 points.
Yale's only lead of the game came just 2:00 into the game on a 3-pointer from sophomore guard Aarica West that gave the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead. The Bulldogs kept pace with the Eagles through the first 10 minutes and trailed by just four points, 19-15, with 10:02 remaining in the first half.
However, adjustments made by the Eagles over the final 10 minutes of the half were more than enough to give them total control. The Eagles went on an 11-0 run over the next 4:45 to open up a 30-15 lead. B.C. outscored Yale 28-13 over the final 9:41 to go into the halftime break with a 47-28 lead.
The second half started in much the same way as the first half ended. Boston College scored the first six points of the half to extend its lead to 25 points, 53-28. It was more than enough cushion to carry the Eagles into the second round of the WNIT and end a remarkable season for the Bulldogs.
The Eagles took control of the game behind their ability to find scoring opportunities inside. They outscored the Bulldogs 60-24 in the paint and 13-2 off of second-chance opportunities. While Swords was not the offensive force that the Bulldogs were expecting, the rest of the Eagles found a way to drive to the basket, and they dominated the boards throughout the game, outrebounding the Bulldogs 46-21.
The result allows Boston College to advance to a second-round matchup with St. Joseph's, which defeated Virginia Commonwealth, 72-66, to advance. Meanwhile, Yale will look to next season, having experienced a national postseason tournament for the first time in its 38-year history. And while Gobrecht and senior captain Yoyo Greenfield see their careers come to an end, the returning players already have a goal in mind for the 2011-12 season.
"The fact that we made postseason play is a huge accomplishment and I think the team needs to go into every season from now on with that high bar and reach it every single year from now on. I think it is a standard," Gobrecht said.

WNIT First Round Quotes
Boston College 85, Yale 61
March 17, 2011
On tonight's loss
"They had a lot of big seniors. It was a pretty tall order. I thought we did a pretty good job in the second half. I thought we competed in the second half, but I thought they definitely stunned us early. We just were not ready for how big and strong they are."
On ending the season with the loss
"I told these guys that every team in the country except two will end their season with a loss. You can never allow that to be what defines your season. The only teams left playing right now are the top third of the nation. There are no turkeys out there. I think the lesson for all of our young kids, and we have a lot of young kids, but the lesson is that you just have to realize how good the level of play is. I think the Princeton women will do better this time around. When they played St. John's in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last year, the same thing happened to them. They got stunned. Then you have had that experience. Boston College has been in the WNIT three times in the last four years and they start three seniors. You understand what you are going to face. The really great thing about the team and the program now is that this is where they want to be in March. You want that opportunity to play against the best teams in the country and to measure yourself in that kind of environment. It was a really great experience for us. The team was excited about being here and having this chance. It is nothing but a positive."
On the defensive game plan tonight
"When you have that type of weapon inside like they have with those two kids, those two kids average 40 points and 20 rebounds between them. We had to kind of pick our poison. We had no choice. We couldn't stand back off of them and just watch them chuck the ball into the big kids. We chose to go after them and they adjusted. To their credit, they adjusted and started taking it to the rim. Then we had to adjust back, but that is a very potent offensive team. It is one of the best offensive teams in the nation. For most of the year they had been in the top 10 (currently 9th, 78.4 ppg.). They have so many weapons. If you pull off to double on the big girl, their shooters are going to bury you. If you go out and pressure them, they have the skill to take it to the rim, and if they break you down at all, they are going to get the offensive board."
What was the biggest difference in the game tonight?
"Our biggest liability was we just couldn't rebound with them. We had to get every point that we got off of one try. They were often getting two and three tries, not that they needed two or three tries. We had to do it off of one try. We had to go after them to try and force turnovers, but we held them to their average, and a lot of those points came off of our turnovers. It wasn't so much what they were doing in the half-court game. I don't feel necessarily that the defense was where we didn't quite get it done. I think we just needed to be more assertive offensively. I thought what we did in the second half, when we started taking it to the rim against them, we could have done in the first half. We needed to rebound. Like I said, it is a tall order to try to get every point off of one try."
How was the strategy different in the second half?
"We were trying to take it to the rim because we felt that we were either going to score it or we were going to get fouled. We were willing to throw it inside and try to go after them. I think we allowed ourselves to be too intimidated by them at the beginning of the game. We didn't attack them. If we had attacked them from the get-go, we might have been in the game, but we got too far behind."
On the team's never-give-up mentality
"It's definitely something that we pride ourselves on. We are not as big as most teams so we always have to run. We spend most of our preseason just running. There's no ball, it's just running. We're trained to do it, whether we are down or up, every single time the ball goes through the net or we get a defensive rebound, we run."
On what she will take away from this season
"It has been really great. It is hard to end on a loss, but all the really great things we did this year are definitely memorable. The win over Florida State is definitely the best win I have ever had, in addition to the win at Harvard. I had never won at Harvard, and beating them at their place was really memorable too. The fact that we made postseason play is a huge accomplishment and I think the team needs to go into every season from now on with that high bar and reach it every single year from now on. I think it is a standard."
How daunting is it when you come out and have to defend 6-6 and 6-4 post players?
"It is a fun challenge because you know that they are going to try to lob it into them, especially with the defense that we play. We practiced it all week and they still got it inside. It is fun to go out there and play against players like that. You don't get to do that every day, especially in the Ivy League. I like having that opportunity."
On tonight's victory
"We didn't take them lightly when we came in here, and I thought our players stuck to the game plan and executed it to perfection tonight.
How did Florida State's loss at Yale on Dec. 18 help prepare you for tonight?
"That definitely helped us as coaches. We showed clips of when they played against Florida State and how they beat them. Our players knew that this was a team that played hard and if you take them lightly they will beat you. I thought we came in here and we were ready because of that game. It gave us a chance to see how Yale played against Florida State's post players because Yale mixes it up sometimes depending on how big the other team's post players are."
After not qualifying for the NCAA Tournament, was this a good response from your players?
"Yes. I think everyone is invested. They are on a mission. They are hungry and they are working hard and having fun doing it. It was fun to watch tonight."
On the strategy against Yale's defense
"I think with the way that their post players play defense, they were face guarding kind of on the high side, and we told our post players to post up at the mid-post, instead of in the low-post, so our post players were actually able to be a screen for our guards to go all the way to the basket. They were actually posting up, but they were screening their man off so that she couldn't help on the drive. That worked for us and once our guards saw that was happening, they just kept driving and getting all the way to the basket."
On the team's energy level tonight
"I think it is anybody's goal to go to the NCAA Tournament, but being able to play in the WNIT, it's a championship too. It's a dance too and that's the way we looked at it. It might not be as big, but it proves something, so we told everyone that and I think we were all thinking that anyway. It's just great to still play and to continue to play with this group of girls."
On the strategy against Yale's defense
"That is usually the game plan in every game, get the ball inside to our bigs and get them to score early so we, as guards, can be ready when the ball gets kicked back out. I don't know why, but I was attacking the basket more. They came out at me hard and they played tight defense on me, but I found that I could beat them off the first step. It just came to me and that's what they were giving me."

Dear Credit Card Adviser,
In a recent article, you warned against putting too many expenses on a credit card. You said it could hurt my credit score — even if I pay off the balance each month — by adding too much debt compared with the amount of credit under my name. How does this work with my American Express card, which requires payment in full each month?
— Doug
Dear Doug,
The type of card from American Express you described is a charge card, not a credit card. There are key differences between the two, including how they affect your credit score.
Let's go over what sets the two apart. As you noticed, a charge card requires payment in full every month. If it was a credit card, you'd only need to make a minimum payment to stay in good standing. The rules are different because each is structured differently.
A credit card comes with a preset spending limit and an interest rate. The limit helps keep your spending in check and therefore reduces an issuer's risk. The interest rate is also how your credit card company makes money if you roll over a balance from one month to the next.
On the other hand, a charge card has neither a credit limit nor an interest rate. That doesn't mean you can spend as much as you want. The issuer can still deny purchases on a case-by-case basis according to your spending history and how much it thinks you can pay back. You must pay off your balance in full each month, so there's no interest rate.
Because of those differences, that AmEx charge card of yours won't have the same influence on your credit score as a credit card.
Since it has no credit limit, for example, your charge card won't figure into your credit utilization rate. That's the portion of credit you have available from revolving accounts, and it's a key ingredient to your credit score. So, even if you rack up a huge amount of debt on your charge card, it won't impact your utilization rate.
Those debts will, however, affect your credit score in other ways. Anthony Sprauve, myFICO.com spokesman, says the balances on charge cards are used in adding up the total debt you owe across all of your accounts, just like the balances on credit cards.
The payment history on a charge card is also included in a FICO credit score, Sprauve says. That means if you pay off your charge card balance every month on time, your credit score will get a boost. If you miss payments, then your issuer will hit you with a late fee, and your credit score will be dented.
So, bottom line, stay on top of your payments!

I wanted to pick up an oldschool c kite to play with and I found a 14m vegas in good condition for almost nothing.
it does not come with a bar, however and my current 5 line bar (mutiny) has all equal line lengths. is this going to work out of the box with this kite or will I need to make any adjustments?
obviously I'm going to fly it in light wind (it's a 14 anyway) and tune the bar, just looking for an idea of what to expect

Posts Tagged 'minotaur'
As we move away from Egyptian hieroglyphics to Greek mural paintings, we can see that instead of painting scenes of the after life, the Greek preferred to paint scenes of interesting or exciting scenes from their lives. The art no longer is about controlling reality but rather celebrating and sharing special or exciting moments.
Mural Paintings
Like the hieroglyphics originally painted on the internal walls of the Egyptain pyramids, the Greek kings demanded that paintings be made on the internal walls of their palaces where they lived. The Bull-Leaping Toreador Fresco was painted at the palace at Knosses in 1450-1400 BC. It was painted with the wet-fresco technique and very quickly because it dried so fast.
Here is another fresco from the West House of Akrotiri in Thera 1650 BC, it is 53″ high and depicts a young fisherman with his catch. Yet, another scene celebrating the every day occurences in life.
Minoan Pottery
The Minoan culture was also equally fascinated by nature and due to their proximity to the ocean, often depicted sea creatures like this Octopus jar from Palaikastro in 1500 BC. This particular vase is very interesting in the progress of art because it shows how flat drawings go from being two dimensional like the hieroglyphics to have more of a three dimensional and interactive or expanding quality.
Mycenaen Art
As we look at the connections between Egyptian and Greek art, let's take a look at this funerary mask from Mycenae in 1600-1500 BC made of beaten gold. Does it remind you of a certain Pharoah, Tutenkhamen, who also had a mask of gold?
The Greek Geometric Period
Like the Egyptians, who held an incredible love of precision with regard to their hieroglyphic art, early Greek artists also explored Geometric Art on ceramic pots. For example, this Attic Geometric krater from the Dipylon cemetery in Athens was made in 740 BC and is extremely fascinating when you take a very close look at the patterns and shapes that surround the figures. Notice the straight lines that the figures stand upon, so similar to the hieroglyphic writings.
Greek Architecture
Over time, the Greeks took their fascination with geometry and lines from walls to ceramics to buildings. They expanded upon the concepts of Egyptian pyramids to create temples for their gods that had pointed roofs like the pyramids but also had columns like the internal structure of the pyramids and palaces. These two types of architectural design were called Doric and Ionic Orders. Just a fancy way of explaining what parts went where and why.
Greek Mythology
Like past cultures, religion and the gods played a very important part in the Greek's lives, art and stories. The Greeks believed that their gods lived on top of a very big mountain called Mount Olympus. Zeus was the father and Hera was the mother. Athena was smart and Artemis was a hunter. Apollo was the god of the sun while his brother Neptune was the god of the sea.
In these stories, the Greek gods created many mythical and magical creatures. One story tells of the minotaur, a creature that was half man and half bull, who lived in a maze and hurt anyone that went in there. While another story told of pegasus, a winged horse, that was created specially for Hercules to help him fight battles. The Greeks loved their stories and told them in art, and through word and in plays!
Today's Lesson
Today, we are going to pretend to be Greek gods and goddesses. We will paint our own mythical creatures to put in the world and wreak havoc or help mankind. You can choose if your creature is good or bad. It can be part man or part bull, part horse or part hawk, part octopus or part lion. It's your choice. So, let's get out our paints and have some fun!

Christoph Waltz's Oscar Spurs Debate: Austrian or German?
FRANKFURT – Christoph Waltz's second Academy Award has once again launched a very serious debate in Europe – is he Austrian or German?
Both nations have laid claim to the 56-year-old actor, who won best supporting actor Oscars for his portrayals of a Nazi soldier in "Inglourious Basterds," as well as a German bounty hunter in "Django Unchained."
The debate concerning Mr. Waltz stems from a long, contentious history in which Austria and Germany argue over which famous German-speaking figures belong to which country, the borders of which have historically often been blurred. For example, Austria tries to lay claim to Ludwig van Beethoven – born in Bonn, Germany, but who arguably came into musical greatness in Austria. Germans cling to the fact that Adolf Hitler was Austrian.
Mr. Waltz's father had German citizenship, as does he. But he was born and grew up in Vienna, and the country quickly moved to offer him Austrian citizenship after his first Oscar win in 2010. He now holds both German and Austrian passports.
"I was born in Vienna, I grew up in Vienna, I went to school in Vienna, I took my university entrance exams in Vienna, I studied in Vienna, I began my professional career in Vienna, I had my first theater role in Vienna, I filmed for the first time in Vienna, and there are a few more Vienna specifics. How much more Austrian could you be?" Mr. Waltz has said, according to Austria's ORF broadcaster.
Mr. Waltz was not immediately available for comment Monday.
The German media politely labeled him "German-Austrian" in their coverage of his win Monday, while the Austrian media celebrated the dual wins of their Austrians – Mr. Waltz and the success of director Michael Haneke for his foreign film prize for "Amour." Austrian politicians issued congratulatory press statements, seemingly reveling in Mr. Waltz's now official status.
Mr. Waltz weighed in on the cultural differences between the two nations on Conan O'Brien's talk show in 2011, with the edge going to Austria. He said Austrians tend to be polite without meaning it; Germans are more direct and confrontational.
"The difference between Austrians and Germans is like the difference between a battleship and a waltz," Mr. Waltz said.
Mr. O'Brien asked about the cliché that Germans have no sense of humor.
"That's not a cliché," said Mr. Waltz, smiling.
Christoph Waltz took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Oscars for his role as a dentist-turned-bounty-hunter in Django Unchained.
But prior to becoming the charming, Oscar-snagging performer he is today — Waltz won the same award in 2009 for Inglorious Basterds — the Austrian actor dabbled in song.
The video above, taken from a 1977 episode of the Austrian children's show At the Dam, shows a 21-year-old Waltz's more theatrical (and undeniably fashionable) side of performing. Striped leotard aside, he's still pretty charming.

Surrounded by trees and flowers, and located but a few meters from the Parque Histórico Militar in La Loma de San Juan.

Santiago de Cuba is my favorite place in Cuba to visit whenever I am in town, lots of festivals and events and lots of lovely people to be around. On this very vacation, I stayed at the San Juan hotel for some nights before leaving Cuba completely, it was my last place to visit. The rooms at this hotel were clean no doubts and it was spacious, it just looked ordinary to me. The rooms have air condition and functional TV with other basic amenities so nothing was lacking in that aspect, the bathrooms were clean and functional as well. There was nothing spectacular about the place for me, I just needed a place to spend the few nights I had left in Cuba and that was it. The hotel is a bit far from the city center, let's say 30 minutes walk so for me, that is far but I am not complaining. They have an onsite parking lot which is safe so you can park your rented cars here and not bother of mugging. The room price was very reasonable as breakfast was included in the rate so it's a pretty good value for what you pay for. The staff were friendly, trying to help out in any little way that they can and very polite. It has a relaxing atmosphere and a nice large pool which I loved very much. The poolside service was amazing but it is usually crowded. I recommend this place if you are visiting Cuba on vacation.

Nice hotel with great opportunities. Too bad I was there at the wrong time: the swimming pool was being painted, I had to find out myself, wasn't mentioned by the lady at the reception. When I complainted they offered free visit to the (tiny) swimmingpool in another hotel 2 km from Villa San Juan. Breakfast was served in the restautante Leningrado, around 9 am the buffet was empty and I had to ask and then wait for 30 min to have breakfast served, 7 waiters hangign around, 3 guests. It seemed I was the only guest speaking Spanish and the only one not being ignored.
The roommaid and the contruction workers were yelling to one another all the time, she put the Tv in the room next door on a music channel and as loud as possible one afternoon. The airco wasn't loud enough to have a nap with this discotheque next door. I had to ask for a telephone line to call everyday, the last day, waiting for several poeple to call me, after 3 hours I found out that the line was dead. One person had tried to call me 10 times, the hotel never answered, the receptionist said there wern't any calls that morning. She charged me 6,60 CUC for in total 5 minutes within Cuba.
Room Number:
The hotel was under contruction for the visit of the pope the week after, no mentioning of this.
Nice, basic natural design.
TV and freezer
No hot water
Restaurants and Bars:
Bar in lobby nice, breakfast lousy
Nice pool, too bad it was empty for being painted
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
No activities, very much OK with me.

We had a okay time in this hotel. The welcome was awefull. The woman behind the desk refused to smile, talk normal and it was obviously too hard for her to tell us where there was breakfast or not. We ordered some wish with salad at the pool and we got greasy food and cumcumber. We made clear that we did not approved this at all.
We decided to make the best of all this because our room was awesome. The last day we got locked up but help came fast and we got a new room. The housemaid lisette was one of the nicest persons of the hotel. The pregnant barlady is very helpfull and friendly. The restaurant was empty and you need good company if you want to enjoy your time there. We were glad that we left

Only stayed one night as hotel was fully booked for the remainder of my time in Santiago de Cuba due to the Carnival. It's located a little way out of the town centre but a taxi only cost around 3 USD. However, it is on the right side of town for Casa Caribe and the various entertainment venues in the area.
Room Number:
We arrived way before the recognised check-in time but the reception staff were very good and got our rooms sorted at once. That was really nice of them.
Fairly basic but clean and comfortable.
Restaurants and Bars:
Lobby bar quite nice and snack bar at the pool also quite good. Breakfast was served across the way in the main building and was fine.
Plenty of brand new sun beds around the pool. We had a pleasant afternoon here.
Other Comments:
Very good value for money - I would use this place again.
