Virtue's Reward
Toward the goal of encouraging student work on campus, Wheaton
college instituted a character award, according to a report released
by Dean John H. Fadenrecht.
"Inasmuch as we live in a suburban area it is easy for students to
find employment outside of the college with hourly pay far above that
which the college is able to offer. Then too, there is periodically some
bidding for the student's time. Hence, we have instituted a character
award toward the end of getting students to work diligently and hard
and to faithfully complete their duties.
"If a student fulfills his work diligently and faithfully he will be
entitled to an additional financial remuneration or award ranging from
ten to twenty-five percent of the semester wages for that term. The
supervisor rates the students and a college committee determines who
will be given the award. The award is very substantial and we are
sure it will lead to a greater degree of 'zest for work' here on campus."
Why Bother Me?
by Arlen Svare
Sure, I'll tell you why I chose to accept your Christ, why I "left
the cheap liquor, the life in the gutter, and the 25-cent flophouse." I'll
tell you why I've experienced these celestial glories which you speak
of, and know them to be true. It is because through your much hated
"negative emphasis" you have shown me the error of my ways.
All my life I fought this negative religion with every tool Satan
could furnish. He permitted me to go to church and see the critical
attitude of its members toward one another. That was a powerful
weapon! He showed me what a lack of love can be found there. He
permitted me to go to churches where only a positive message would be
given, knowing full well that it would not convict my heart in the least.
One day, contrary to the will of Satan, I wandered into a different
church. I thank my Savior that His servant spoke according to the
example of his Lord's ministry here on earth, and pictured for me the
negative side of my life. From this, an overwhelming conviction of my
sins caused me to turn to Christ and accept the positive side of religion.
How true it is that with a negative religion one can come only to
a negative conclusion — that there is no other answer than to seek
A negative plea: Do not forsake the preaching of repentance, for
it is the way unto Salvation!
Gramps' Grabbag
Latest campus floater — Two golfers were playing the course
leisurely when a funeral procession passed on the nearby road. The
first golfer took off his cap respectfully and held it over his chest
briefly. The second golfer exclaimed, "That's a mighty decent thing
for you to do." The other golfer replied, "Well, it's the least I could do.
In another four days we would have been married thirty-five years."
. . . most exasperating job — filling in all those little nail holes with
plastic wood in the newly remodeled chapel . . . Students! Are your
marks all wet ? Below "C" level ? Get out of the rain . . . Do things
seem more glittering to you since the holiday season around campus ?
Could be that there are fellows throwing "rocks." . . . For the benefit
of those who don't have rocks yet, here's a suggestion — get a lump
of coal. Why spend dough for a diamond when for a few cents you
can get a piece of coal bigger than a caret? . . . Hmmm — Barb Harper
got out of the hospital just as Bob got the measles. Isn't that the
Berries ? . . . How would you feel if you were chasing your girl and
she turned around and caught you ? Looking at the application list for
Hagstrom apartments there seem to be plenty of men here who don't
care about the consequences.

have a bit of news that hasn't been officially released yet. here's
the scoop—during founder's week the library will be opened as a part
time roller skating rink. this has been planned as added entertainment
for the visting pastors. (it is also being considered as a permanent
saturday afternon and evening activity.) when i asked miss axeen about
this she stated, "i love to roller skate and i think it is a keen idea" but
then she added some stipulations: only rubber tired skates will be
allowed and only school skates may be used. there will be a rental booth
set up at the desk. the skates will be arranged according to the dewey
decimal system according to size and style. reserve slips must be filled
out in triplicate, rates are by the hour 25 cents per skate, two for 49, a
fine of five cents for the first minute and two cents for each minute
thereafter will be assessed on over-due skates. there are other rules. no
skating will be allowed on the stairways, you may skate in miss axeen's
office only to answer the phone (three calls per person please) reading
while skating will be allowed only in the center of the floor. outside
reading is to be done on the roof, which will be flooded for ice skating.
refreshments too. kool aid and crackers stand will be set up in the
clarion office however it is strictly nonprofit. 10 cents a glass for kool
aid and two crackers for a nickel. all students interested in this plan
contact miss axeen or drop a letter in the letters to the editor box. let's
all support this for we don't want any cheap skates around here.
A Ski Escapade
by Robert Fischer
Editor's note: This is another of a series of outstanding freshmen
"You don't dare," was the challenging phrase of some of my fel-low
skiers, which was to lead me into an unfortunate experience.
On the afternoon of a bright, brisk December day, I was challenged
with those words, "You don't dare." A double ribbon-like trail lay be-fore
me which seemed to lead down into an abyss. I did what any
husky, healthy lad would do in a similar situation.
I adjusted my ski harness, shuffled my feet to knock off the snow,
gave a final lunge, and was off!
What Was I to expect ? Was there a sharp dip in the trail ? Was the
trail clear below? Those thoughts concurred with that phrase, "You
don't dare." I was determined to show them one way or another! Now
I was plummeting down the trail with increasing velocity.
All at once I realized why the fellows had flaunted me with that
dare! They must have tampered with the trail! In the midst of panic —
"You don't dare" — gave me a little courage.
I was far enough down by now so that I could see what lay before
me. There was the jump, just as I expected. My speed made it im-possible
to deviate my course. The mad plunge continued until I started
up the crest of the jump. "You don't dare," somehow gave me courage
in those last seconds before the ascent!
I glided up the crest of the jump, and as I left the edge and soared
up, out, and over, I looked at the ground. There was just one thing
to do — I leveled my skis as well as I could and hoped for the best.
Suddenly something went wrong. There was a whoosh—snap—ker-plunk
— as I helplessly sprawled in a snowy heap. Why it happened
I don't know; but what happened I do know. Both my skis were broken.
My right wrist and both ankles were badly sprained.
And — what do you suppose ran through my brain, besides the
pain? "You don't dare," echoed through my hallowed halls of grey
matter and gave me a tingling feeling of pride because I did dare.
Watch For The Bright Side
by Ardis Larson
How do you evaluate your fellow Christians ? Do you see only
the faults and flaws in the Christian character of your friends and
their failure to reflect the mind of Christ?
At a recent B.W.A. meeting, Miss Annemarie Oesterle, student in
the seminary, gave a simple analogy to illustrate her point of view on
this. She pictured a beautiful mosaic wall where each stone fits right
side up into its niche and completes a lovely, consistent pattern. If
these stones were taken from their setting, we would see a jumbled,
dirty pile of rough stones. Replacing them "bright spot" up, we would
again see a brilliant reflection of the light.
Miss Oesterle pointed out that as one of these stones alone could
not adequately reflect the light, neither can one Christian be expected
to perfectly mirror Jesus Christ. But put all these "rough stones" with
their bright spots or good points together right side up, and you will
see a wonderful picture of the light, Christ Jesus.
Premium On Quality
by Phil Caldeen
An eternal struggle has been that of quality versus quantity. We
find it ever present in human existence. Fundamental to Charles Dar-win's
Origin of the Species is that quantity inevitably succumbs to
quality. "Survival of fittest" is Darwin's cry. How did Pithecanthropus
erectus withstand the mammoth hordes of prehistory ? It was the quality
of reason. "Pete" Pithecanthropus learned that a fire could be kindled
from the spark set off by striking two flints together. Peter learned
that fire radiated warmth and light and kept away nocturnal marauders.
And Pete learned the use of the simple tools — the level and wheel.
Was it a huge convention of these pithecanthropus men who declared
they were in agreement on these matters, and ergo it was so ? No, one
man's wit was the key that opened the door to historical mankind.
But let us go to another's views on quality versus quantity.
John Milton, who is, in the eyes of C. S. Lewis, a magnificent
Christian literary figure, captures in one place in Paradise Lost the
concept under discussion in five words. In Book VII he re-invokes the
Heavenly Muse (Holy Spirit) to impart the ideas and poetic power to
express those ideas that they will "fit audience find, though few." John
Milton rowed against the stream of public sentiment too much to be
interested in popular acceptance or approbation. It was the "fit few"
he was interested in and the "fit few" to whom he wrote.
How can we not apply this view to the Christian life and church?
Jesus said if we had but the faith of a grain of a mustard seed we
could remove mountains. Is that a virtue of quantity ? The mustard
seed is less than a sixteenth of an inch wide and high, and micro inches
thick. The early Christian church, dynamic and unquenchable, was
composed of congregations of the two or three we read of in Matthew.
Is that quantity ? To what does evangelist Billy Graham look in prepa-ration
for his mighty mass meetings ? The usually small, usually most
poorly attended of all the church services — the prayer meeting.
Undeniable, then, is the reality that quality is supreme. John Milton
seems more concerned with the "fit few" than the unfit multitudes.
Charles Darwin went further by saying that the fittest will always lead
the pace in the race for survival. And Christ honored the minute mus-tard
seed by naming it the epitome of real faith. Apparently there
is a premium on quality. Here we have the thoughts of three greats
from different fields — literature, biology, and religion respectively.
With respect to their prominence and what they said about this subject
we can say that the premium on quality will ever be the highest.

So you want to be a reporter ?
Few people know how easy it is to be a reporter. Why, all you
have to do is find the who, what, where, when, why, (and sometimes
the how) and distribute the facts around general rules -- very general.
To illustrate, consider the following assignment:
Assignment: Get a scoop on the student affairs office.
1. Write a tremendous lead . . .
As I joyfully stepped into the office the girl at the desk, behind
the desk and sitting on a real nice chair, it was brown, was busy talk-.
ing to various students, examining her records, and answering her
phone, it seemed to me, at one time in a single motion. This was Miss
Dorothy Dalbey who exists as part of the team that exists in the
Student Affairs Office.
2. Find a good angle to play up big . . .
His hobby when he was younger was building model planes, which
he enjoyed assembling and satisfied his desire for achievement which
today is one of the foundations for the success of the Student Affairs
Office. But Bob Featherstone, who is the head of the office, still
worries about finding jobs for his boys and attends the seminary.
3. Use variety and color . . .
She has, Dorothy, I found, an apartment in the cities and likes to
cook. But she likes barbecued spareribs, and everything she makes
turns out barbecued. I asked her what was wrong with this. She told
me when she makes spareribs she throws everything in with them.
"Everything else turns out the same way, that's all," she said.
4. Give it to the editor

Fall Curricular
Adds Art Major
Several curricular changes were discussed in a recent faculty meet-ing
for next fall's curricular program. It was disclosed that the field
of art has been added to the list of those areas in which majors can
be taken. Two seminars in painting have been added.
Paintings by Bernard Arnest
have been hung in the student
center for public display. The col-lection
includes a wide range of
Born in 1917, Mr. Arnest receiv-ed

in the service from 1941-45, he
served as official war artist for
the War Department.
In 1948 he presented a one-man
exhibition at Kraushau Galleries,
New York, and came to his pre-sent
position at the University of
Minnesota in 1949.

Royals Give Luther Victory
Little Martin Luther College came up to the Twin Cities and became
the recipient of an unexpected gift in the form of an 84-80 victory over
the self-sure Bethelites. The outcome was not only a surprise to the
Luthermen, but a shock to both Bethel players and fans.
With a seemingly huge margin of 13 points over Luther, the coach
saw fit to use some of the sparsely used second and third string reserves,
with more than ten minutes to go in the first half. And soon that once
enormous lead had dwindled and disappeared so that the Luthermen
left the floor at half with a 46-42 lead.
The coach wisely started the first team in the second half. How-ever,
the regulars had chilled during extensive and unexpected stay on
the bench, and they could no longer find the hoop. Throughout the
second half, it was the story of the marksmanship of little Zimmerman,
of Luther, completely frustrating Bethel's attempt to regain the lead.
Zimmerman was high point man for the evening with 30 big points.
Martin Luther opened their lead to as high as eleven points, 55-44,
in the early moments of the second half. Bethel was able, nevertheless,
to cut their lead to 78-73 with three minutes to go. Bethel, however, was
not destined to win.
The last three minutes clearly demonstrated the inferior play of
our team. Bad passes, poor shots, missed sure shots, and extreme cold-ness
at the gift line tell the story. On numerous occasions, the Bethel-men
missed golden opportunities to score the victory.
Frank Burleson with 27 points and Bill Conrad with 18 points spark-ed
our sputtering offense. Most of their points were amassed in the
first half.
In the preliminary game, the Bethel "B" squad met defeat at the
hands of their campus neighbors, the seminary team. The seminary
team survived a last minute rally of the "B" squad and won, 63-59. Dean
Olson with 16 points, and Clarence Woods and Gene Messenger with 15
and 14 points, respectively, lead the seminary offense.
Sprink's Spurts
The announcement of three years toward a physical education minor
has given a spark of encouragement to those in our student body who
are athletically inclined. It is the beginning of possible future expan-sion
in our athletic policy.
However, a short word of caution for those who will expect a
sudden rise in our grid and basketball wars. Next year the campus
will not be swarming with 6' 10" giants or 220-pound tackles. The phy-sical
education minor is merely a step in the direction of expansion. A
physical education minor will have little value until we have the neces-sary
education courses.
The question of school spirit has been raised in previous issues.
However, an encouraging note in the rise of school spirit is the fact
that a group of the fairer sex from Bethel journeyed to Winona to spur
the team on. Their cheers were in vain, as the team lost, but the spirit
was there. Couldn't this become an established step in the promotion
of school spirit. A rented bus or car caravan would not only promote
school spirit but provide fellowship.
Also, a short word on the editorial policy of the sports page. We
do not deal in personalities but rather with current athletic policies
and problems connected therewith. As far as having a feather in our
bonnet for beating Bible colleges and junior colleges, the editors will
consider this season a "winning" season if we beat Northwestern Schools.
Thought for the Day : A man is only as big as the thing that makes
him angry.
Day Brightener: Frank Burleson no longer sells brushes. He has
become the working girl's friend by selling Cutco.

Bersa Thunder 45 Ultra-Compact, left side
Bersa pistols are manufactured in Argentine by the Bersa S.A. company. Thunder pistols are available, in several different versions. The Thunder-380 pistols are of simple blowback design, while more powerful Thunder-9, Thunder-40 and Thunder-45 pistols are of locked breech design. Thunder series pistols are relatively compact and handy, yet they offer significant capacity with major pistol calibers, combined with good, fully ambidextrous ergonomics. Bersa pistols also are relatively inexpensive and offer decent reliability, making them good personal defense firearms. The only differences between Thunder and Thunder-mini pistols (which also sold as Thunder Ultra-Compact) are size and magazine capacity. The Ultra-Compact .45 pistols are roughly intermediate in size between standard and mini pistols, and, unlike smaller caliber brothers, they have a single stack magazine. Bersa Thunder 9 pistols are standard issue pistols for the Argentinean Federal Police and the Buenos Aires Province Police.
Bersa Thunder-9, Thunder-40 and Thunder-45 pistols are locked breech, short recoil operated firearms of Browning type. barrel is locked to slide by single large lug, which engages the ejection port in the slide. The unlocking is caused by the cam-shaped underbarrel extension. Trigger is of double action type, with exposed hammer and ambidextrous frame mounted safety, which decocks the hammer when engaged, then locks the slide and sear. The action also features a firing pin safety, which blocks the firing pin until the trigger is pressed. The slide release lever also is ambidextrous, and the magazine release button can be easily mounted on the either side of the grip. magazines of the 9mm and .40SW versions are of double stack type, .45 caliber magazines are single stack. Sights are fixed, with front sight integral to the slide and rear dovetailed to the frame. Latest production pistols also feature an integral key lock, located above the trigger on the left side of the frame, as well as accessory laser / light rail on the frame below the barrel.

After a long, bitter and expensive campaign, national polls show United States President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney are in a race too close to call ahead of Tuesday's US election.
Both have campaigned hard on the idea of "change", now both will try to convince voters in the swing states that they are the candidate to deliver it.
The close margins in state and national polls suggested the possibility of a cliffhanger, that could be decided by the party that is most effective at getting voters to the polls.
Ohio, the most pivotal of the swing states will get a last-day visit from both candidates.

Clarkson University Air Force ROTC Cadet to Study Arabic Through National Program
Clarkson University Air Force ROTC cadet Allie E. Day '16 is passionate about serving her country and understanding other cultures around the world.
It's those passions that allowed Day, an electrical engineering major from Yarmouth, Maine, to study Arabic this summer through Project Global Officers (GO).
Project GO is a Department of Defense program that teaches language and intercultural communication skills to future military officers. Day will spend her summer, from May 28 to July 26, studying Arabic at Indiana University with other ROTC cadets from around the country. Project GO is paying for Day's tuition, books and some of her living expenses, a value of more than $7,000.
Day plans to combine her engineering expertise with the foreign language skills and serve her country overseas when she graduates. Speaking Arabic will be an important tool during deployment, she said.
"We have quite a presence in the Middle East right now," Day said. "The more people that can communicate and understand their culture, the more it's going to help in our diplomacy with them."
She also looks forward to meeting other ROTC cadets from around the country at Project GO. Military service runs in Day's family; her father, Thaddeus '90, was an Army ROTC cadet.
"I personally think it's important for everyone to give back in some way, whether it's to their community, state or country," Day said. "We're one of the world's leading powers, so why not contribute to that?"
U.S. Air Force Maj. Christopher Victoria, assistant professor of aerospace studies, praised Day's dedication, discipline and work ethic and described her as a "go-getter" who excels in academics, athletics and community service. Day is ranked third of Clarkson's 36 freshmen cadets and holds the highest physical fitness test score among Clarkson's female cadets, near 100 percent, he said.
Day's placement in Project GO is especially impressive because of the national competitiveness of the program, Victoria said.
"We have every confidence that she's going to do well and let the rest of the nation know that the ROTC at Clarkson is a top-tier program," Victoria said.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Milner: Final table all that counts
Manchester City midfielder James Milner is in no doubt Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Arsenal could have a major bearing on the Blues' title challenge - but stressed the table at the end of the season is what really matters.
City lie fourth ahead of the match at the Etihad Stadium, six points worse off than the Gunners, who are five clear of second-placed Liverpool and third-spotted Chelsea with all sides having played 15 games.
When it was put to him that the fixture had the feel of a title decider to it even at this stage of the campaign, Milner said: "Yes. With the gap they have at the top, if they win or we win, things are going to look very different, so it is important we get the victory."
City boss Manuel Pellegrini has challenged his side to be league leaders by the first day of 2014, and Milner added: "There are so many games in December, and if you look at the league table going into that month, it always looks completely different when you come out of it into January.
"It is important that at that point it looks a lot better than it does now for us."
But the England international also emphasised that, while City want to move into top spot as soon as possible, ultimately the real goal is ensuring they are there when the action finishes on the final day of the season.
When it was suggested to him that, with a victory over Arsenal, the Blues would put themselves well on course to meet Pellegrini's new year's day target, Milner said: "Maybe, but I just hope we are top at the end of the season - that is the main thing. It is all that matters.
"If we can get there sooner then great, but as long as we are there in May, that is the main thing."
Milner was speaking after City's 3-2 Champions League Group D victory at Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
The Blues' performance against the defending champions was remarkable in various ways, with Pellegrini's men falling 2-0 behind within the first 12 minutes before producing a stunning comeback.
It is at home that City have really impressed this term, though, winning 10 of their 11 Etihad Stadium matches in all competitions - they lost the reverse fixture to Bayern 3-1 - and scoring 44 goals.
And Milner is optimistic they can keep that form up and defeat Arsenal.
"They are top, playing very well and are full of confidence," the 27-year-old said.
"But we have been performing very well at home.
"Hopefully we can keep that going and I'm sure if we perform like we have been at home, we will have every chance of getting the win."
Certainly City's triumph at Bayern will only add to the confidence they take into Saturday's contest.
The result in what was the two teams' concluding Group D fixture, and which they went into having both already qualified for the knockout stage, was not enough for second-placed City to leapfrog the German outfit and secure first position in the section.
That would have ensured the Blues, theoretically at least, an easier draw for the last 16 and they fell short by one goal, with a 4-2 victory for them being one of the outcomes that would have been sufficient - something Milner later admitted City, thinking that a three-goal winning margin was required, had not been aware of.
Nonetheless, they made quite a statement about their continental credentials with their display.
And Milner said: "It was massive for us for going forward in the competition.
"We are obviously going to get a tough draw in the next round.
"But we know we can beat the reigning champions on their own patch, scoring three goals, so that is a massive confidence boost and gives us massive momentum for the next round."
The draw for the last 16 takes place on Monday and City, as they have finished as runners-up in their pool, are guaranteed to face one of the winners of the other groups and play the second leg of the tie away from home.

I've been hearing that for the past half decade. Yet here we are. Another title game. Another SEC team.
Like I said: this isn't going to end anytime soon. Pretty much the only hope SEC-haters have is that more than one of the major SEC schools goes on probation at the same time.
"Alabama didn't take care of business against am"
Alabama won their division by being the only team with 1 loss.
"florida against Georgia"
That's why they didn't win their division.
"georgia against sc"
Georgia won their division by having only 1 loss and owning the tie breaker over UF.
"oregon against stanford"
That's why Oregon isn't playing for the national championship.
Bottom line: if you play in a major conference and take care of your business you are almost certainly going to play for the BCS championship. If you don't, then you leave your fate in the hands of others.
"Alabama to me looks like the better team on the field. But florida has the best resume out of all the teams and they also have the best looking loss."
That may be, but Florida didn't even win their own division and I don't think many people are arguing that Georgia and Florida are clearly the two best teams in the country.
In this case I would go with "of high quality; excellent."
As for your "fair, equal, or legit" it's like I said earlier: if you play in a major conference and take care of your business you are almost certainly going to play for the BCS championship. If you don't, then you leave your fate in the hands of others.
And the tie breaker the SEC almost always gets is one of the benefits of playing in the conference that is so clearly the best in football. You are more likely to get the benefit of the doubt over a team that plays in a weaker conference.
Well I already said I wish they would have an 8 team playoff if it was set up right. The top 8 teams get in. Period. None of this crap where a 9-4 conference champion gets in over a 10-2 team from a better conference.
Of course that would mean the SEC would have multiple teams in the playoffs every year. Hell, this year they would have 4 teams.
And something tells me you wouldn't be making the same then "the trophy would mean something" claim if Oregon had beaten Auburn. Of course that's just my opinion.
Of course it means something. Just ask Florida.
Alabama got away with not winning their own division because pretty much everyone except for the most hardcore SEC-haters thought they and LSU were the two best teams in the country.
"Who determines what the doubt is and where it matters more?"
The voters.
"In what other sport, college or pro is "benefit of the doubt" part of any equation to determine who the champion is or who the 2 "lucky" participants are?"
None that I know of.
Because the AP has their own national champion.
Yeah, Florida/Oregon would be a good matchup.
It might be a mixture of the four, but I think it's mostly a combination of the first two.
The SEC keeps winning and covering in BCS title games and people keep on betting against them. Those who do not learn from history…
I love Bama (if they beat UGA) against Notre Dame for so many reasons, but the biggest advantage I think they have over the Irish is coaching. One need only look at last year's title game and this year's Michigan game to see what happens when a Nick Saban team has over a month to rest and prepare for a single opponent in a big game.
9.5 points is a lot for a title game, but if Bama brings their A game I don't see how Notre Dame keeps it close. I also wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it turns into another SEC BCS Championship bloodbath.
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I made some nice scores on several of the BCS championships in the past 6 years (in particular, Florida ML over Ohio State) and I'm certainly no SEC hater. But I've seen this Notre Dame team, in particular this defense, live and up close and they are the best defense I've seen go up against an SEC foe in one of these games. I think they keep it close. Good Luck!
[Quote: Originally Posted by Osirus13] Capper, notre dame is weak? Winning every game isn't good ? [/Quote

They will lose to whoever they play..Oregon would beat them by 14...Florida would beat them by a TD...Bama will beat them by 17!!!! UGA would be a good matchup for ND!! Because UGA isnt used to being there!!!
It cracks me up how some people think a troll is anyone that has an opinion they don't like.
You post that "the bottom half of the SEC needs to focus on beating the Sun Belt."
I retort by pointing out Notre Dame beat Purdue, BYU, and Pittsburgh at home by 3 points.
You then claimed those close games were because teams "play their best when ND comes to town, and are not intimated by the Irish." But of course teams outside of LSU and A&M don't play their best against Alabama.
So basically your defense is weak teams tend to play well against Notre Dame. Hmm…
You brought up the concept of an SEC All Conference team playing Notre Dame. I was simply stating my opinion that such a team could probably beat some NFL teams. And the only thing dumb is to speak with absolute certainty about something we couldn't possibly know for sure.
Purdue rivalry game and first game back from Ireland
BYU horrid on offense but a top 5 defense Bronco also commented after the game it was the best his team had played all year.
Pttt was in a major letdown spot after crushing the Sooners on the road
Bottom line winning is winning.

(Sunday, October 7, 2001) - Facing a must-win situation in the final round of CONCACAF qualifying, the U.S. Men's National Team earned a berth to the 2002 World Cup with a 2-1 win over Jamaica today at Foxboro Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. U.S. forward and Chevrolet Man of the Match Joe-Max Moore scored goals in the 4th and 81st minutes to help the U.S. finish undefeated at Foxboro with a 7-0-3 record in the last international soccer match at the venue.
With the victory, combined with a scoreless draw between Costa Rica and Mexico in San Jose, Costa Rica, and an upset 1-0 win by Trinidad & Tobago over Honduras in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, the USA is assured of a spot in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea with a record of 5-3-1 and 16 points after nine games.
The U.S. is currently in second place in the CONCACAF standings behind Costa Rica, who leads the group with 20 points. Mexico and Honduras both sit in third place with 14 points each, but meet each other in the final game of the 10-game final qualifying round, meaning neither team can earn more than 17 points. The top three teams from the six-team final CONCACAF qualifying group qualify for the 2002 Korea/Japan. Costa Rica was the first to qualify on Sept. 5 with a 1-0 win over the U.S.
"It's an unusual series of events. We're real happy, but in all honesty … we deserve to be through (to the 2002 World Cup)," said U.S. MNT head coach Bruce Arena, who has qualified for his first World Cup championship with an 8-4-3 record across 15 games in the semi-final and final rounds of qualifying. "I'm proud of our team. Now we have seven months to produce a better team than we produced in 2000 and 2001. I'm optimistic that we can put a better team on the field in the World Cup next year."
Buoyed by a swell of patriotism from the crowd of 40,483 and an electric atmosphere prior to the match, the U.S. was quick to strike, and did so in the 4th minute. In his first qualifier after a three-game absence due to suspension and a groin injury, U.S. captain Claudio Reyna sent a free kick to the far post, where Moore dove and flicked a header backwards past Jamaican goalkeeper Aaron Lawrence.
Jamaica equalized 10 minutes later on a strike from midfielder James Lawrence, who collected a pass on the left side of the penalty box and beat U.S. goalkeeper Brad Friedel across the goal from 12 yards out in the 14th minute.
Needing a win to stay alive in the qualification process, the U.S. got the goal it needed in the 81st minute on a penalty kick from Moore. After active U.S. forward Landon Donovan was tripped in the box by Jamaica defender Tyrone Marshall, the 30-year-old striker stepped up and drilled a low shot just inside the right post past a diving Lawrence for his 24th career international goal (second best in U.S. history).
"I love Boston and I love Foxboro and their fans," said Moore, who played for the New England Revolution for the first four Major League Soccer seasons from 1996-1999. "I seem to have a rapport with them and know some of them quite well. I'm happy that I could perform in front of them."
The U.S. remained unbeaten at Foxboro Stadium, where the Men's National Team will finish with a lifetime record of 7-0-3, with CMGI Field opening next year in its place. The U.S. also remained undefeated against Jamaica, improving its all-time record against the Caribbean nation to 6-0-5.
The final qualifier for the U.S. is against Trinidad and Tobago on the road on Nov. 11, in a match which will be broadcast live on ABC at 2 p.m. ET. The broadcast of today's match was preempted on ABC. Plans to show a delayed broadcast of U.S. vs. Jamaica on the ABC/ESPN family of channels will be announced when they are finalized.

Today is Friday and the end of the week is drawing near. A thought occured to me this morning (which is quite something given that I am tired by this part of the week!). I have never taken the time to examine at the end of each week just what discoveries I have made. My family tree has evolved over many years without any account of exactly when I found each of the ancestors. I do have records of all of my sources but many are not dated and so do not remind me of when I discovered them. I feel that it would be interesting to keep an account of my weekly 'finds'. My challenge to myself is to sit down each Friday and to take note of at least three major things I have achieved for that week.
This is the first account of my weekly journey in Family History. These are some discoveries I made in the week beginning Monday 7 february, 2011.
1. I discovered the above photograph of my great great grandfather, Edward Joseph Weston, on Ancestry.com, on the tree of a cousin I have never met. I have never seen a picture of my g g grandfather Edward Joseph before, however the resemblance to my maternal grandmother is striking. Edward arrived in Maryborough in 1870, as a child, accompanying his mother Mary Ann (Turner) on board the ship 'Flying Cloud'. I have been researching my Weston family for a long time and before this week, Edward Joseph was a name on my tree. Seeing this picture of him has really made him feel like a real person. This was a special find as my mother and grandmother lost all of their family photographs in a house fire when my mother was a teenager. Seeing Edward Joseph almost took my breath away. A great 'find' to take note of on this Friday. Now I would like to find out how the photograph got torn in half. I hope he didn't upset g g g grandma!
2. After writing a blog recently, about an ancestor of my husband, (about whom I found fabulous information, in a book purchased in a secondhand bookstore), I googled the ancestor's name, Charles of Ord. I had, of course googled him in previous years, but not since the Trove ( digitalised Australian newspapers) site came online. On the very first page I discovered a news article from the Sydney Morning Herald dated 22 March 1871, which informed me that Margaret Anne Macdonald, daughter of the late Charles Macdonald of Ord, Skye, Scotland, was married at the residence of the Presbyterian minister at Coonamble, NSW, Australia. She married a Godfrey Bosville MacKinnon on the 2 March, 1871.
Margaret Anne was the half sister of my husband's g g grandfather, Mathew MacDonald ( the family in Australia use a capital 'D' in MacDonald) and we had never known that she also had immigrated to Australia. Mathew was born in 1812 to Charles of Ord and mother unknown (as yet). Margaret Anne was born in 1839 to a different mother, Anne MacLeod. Mathew had no contact with his family after arriving in Australia in 1837 with his wife Mary MacPherson, who had been the nanny to Mathew's half siblings. From letters to Mathew in his late 80's it is clear that he had not known his half sister, born two years after he left the Isle of Skye in Scotland, was also living in the country that he had made his home. An exciting 'find' and one has already set me on the trail of Margaret Anne's descendants here in Australia.
3. I found a new McDade/Gibson relative in Queensland this week through my blog http://www.sharn-genealogyjottings.blogspot.com/ . A photograph of my great grandmother, Elizabeth (Gibson) McDade ( pictured right), had caught her eye and she recalled seeing a similar picture in her mother's collection of family photographs and wondered whether we were connected. It turns out that we are related, and just today organised a three way phone call to have a chat about our ancestors. I am very excited as I always love to find new relatives and to exchange stories.

(Reuters) - Nearly 44 million Americans are hitting the road for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, most by automobile, with some in Northeast states hard hit by Superstorm Sandy moving their feast to warmer, drier quarters.
Airports across most of the country faced few delays on Wednesday, but not Chicago, where thick fog reduced visibility forcing hundreds of flight delays at the city's two airports and the cancellation of more than 130 flights in the morning.
At early afternoon Chicago time, passengers flying in and out of O'Hare International Airport faced delays of about 40 minutes. Flights out of Midway had delays of about 45 minutes, according to FlightAware.com, an aviation information company.
In Canada, flights in and out of Winnipeg International were subject to delays of about 25 minutes, FlightAware said.
The "very dense fog" was expected to gradually ease in Chicago, while rain, wind and mountain snow were expected to impede travel in the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday, the National Weather Service said.
The weather service said the eastern third of the United States was expected to stay dry and pleasant for the holiday.
AAA expects 43.6 million people to travel 50 miles or more for the holiday, up about 0.7 percent from last year - and a fourth consecutive year of growth since the severe 2008 economic downturn cut travel on the holiday by 25 percent.
"We are on a slow climb back," AAA New York spokesman Robert Sinclair Jr. said on Wednesday in a telephone interview. "It's a climb, but it is a slow one, and perhaps not enough for people to really make a significant commitment to travel."
VIA Rail Canada is helping Amtrak meet the holiday crush of passengers after Sandy, which flooded several railroad equipment yards in New York and New Jersey. The storm hit New Jersey Transit particularly hard, damaging one-third of its locomotives and a quarter of its passenger cars.
VIA Rail Canada is loaning Amtrak equipment on Wednesday - the U.S. passenger railroad's busiest day of the year with an expected 140,000 passengers, said Amtrak spokesman Steve Kulm.
The Sunday after Thanksgiving, Amtrak's second busiest day of the year, NJ Transit trains are expected to be in place to handle some of the spillover traffic for Amtrak, Kulm said.
AAA believes concessions to the economy can be seen in a 10 percent reduction in median spending to $498 per traveler and a drop in the distance traveled due in part to a projected decrease in air travel, Sinclair said.
About 90 percent of travelers, 39.1 million, are expected to go by automobile, while air travel is expected to decrease by about 100,000 to 3.14 million travelers, AAA said. About 1.3 million people are expected to travel by all other modes, including rail, bus and cruise ship, it said.
No cancellations or major delays were reported early Wednesday morning at Los Angeles International Airport, the nation's second busiest behind O'Hare in passenger volume.
"Everything is going more or less normally," airport spokesman Marshall Lowe told Reuters, adding that motor traffic around the sprawling facility was flowing at posted speed limits, without serious jams.
However, travelers venturing to LAX by car between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. were advised to give themselves an extra 90 minutes due to heavy congestion expected as a result of a protest planned by hundreds of union airport workers along one of the main roads leading to the airport.
Nearly 1.8 million passengers were expected to pass through LAX in the holiday travel period from Wednesdays through November 26, a slight increase over last year.
In Chicago, nearly 1.8 million passengers were expected to pass through O'Hare and Midway airports from Tuesday to Tuesday of next week, the city aviation department said.

This page lists the Low-Income Food-Deficit Countries (LIFDC).
The new list of the LIFDCs stands at 52 countries, two less than in the (2015) list, but with some changes. Three countries have graduated out of the list: Bhutan, Honduras and Mongolia, all based on income criterion, and one country, Pakistan, has been added to the list, failing the three criteria for exclusion.
The following notes refer to the status in the transitional phase, i. e. the country continues to be listed as a LIFDC for one of the following reason. If the stated position persists beyond three years, the country would be removed from the list:
The classification of a country as low-income food-deficit used for analytical purposes by FAO is traditionally determined by three criteria. First, a country should have a per capita gross national income (GNI) below the "historical" ceiling used by the World Bank to determine eligibility for IDA assistance and for 20-year IBRD terms, applied to countries included in World Bank's categories I and II. The 2013 LIFDC list is based on the GNI for 2010 (estimated by the World Bank using the Atlas method) and the historical ceiling of USD1 915 for 2010. The second criterion is based on the net (i.e. gross imports less gross exports) food trade position of a country averaged over the preceding three years for which statistics are available, in this case from 2008 to 2010. Trade volumes for a broad basket of basic foodstuffs (cereals, roots and tubers, pulses, oilseeds and oils other than tree crop oils, meat and dairy products) are converted and aggregated by the calorie content of individual commodities. Thirdly, the self-exclusion criterion is applied when countries that meet the above two criteria specifically request FAO to be excluded from the LIFDC category.
In order to avoid countries changing their LIFDC status too frequently - typically reflecting short-term, exogenous shocks - an additional factor was introduced in 2001. This factor, called "persistence of position", would postpone the "exit" of a LIFDC from the list, despite the country not meeting the LIFDC income criterion or the food-deficit criterion, until the change in its status is verified for three consecutive years. In other words, a country is taken off the list in the fourth year, after confirming a sustained improvement in its position for three consecutive years.

Inspired: contemporary views of Renaissance jewellery
In late 2011-early 2012 a display of contemporary jewellery considering the attributes and preoccupations of a 21st-century man by six early-career silversmiths, and inspired by the British Museum's Renaissance jewels, was displayed in Room 46.
The craftsmen and women have all completed postgraduate training at Bishopsland in Oxfordshire. This year-long workshop aims to support young graduates, so they can then establish their own workshop and pursue a career as an independent designer-maker. Since 1993, about 150 silversmiths have taken part in the programme.
Rather than create pastiche copies of Museum objects, the group were required to remain faithful to the sentiments embodied within male Renaissance jewellery. Displayed alongside objects from this period, their work offers a contemporary perspective of personal adornment.

Gaming for Haiti
Early in February I started noticing signs around the MIT campus advertising a videogame marathon for Haiti. The Complete Game Completion Marathon would involve several teams working their way through various games for a weekend, and people would donate in support of the effort.
I really didn't know what to think. It was an odd kind of charity effort, and I had mixed feelings about its methods. I wanted to know more, so I decided to do a feature on the event for GameShark. It was published today.
This was kind of an unusual piece for me. It's rare that I do field interviews and interact face to face with my subjects, and I have to admit that it felt a little strange to be having long conversations with people whose intentions were so plainly good but whose efforts left me a little skeptical. I felt an ambivalence that they didn't, and I knew that my piece would probably cast their marathon in a slightly different light than they would. They knew this too, of course, but this is one of the first times in my career that working as a reporter and observer left me feeling slightly uncomfortable. It's rare that I'm writing about people, you see. Most of the time I'm covering an issue or a creative work. This time, I was observing people doing something they felt passionately about.
That's part of the bargain, of course. In her foreword to Slouching Toward Bethlehem, Didion remarks that a writer is always selling someone out. Yet you're also dependent on the kindness of your subjects, and their willingness to let a stranger hang out with them and observe them. But eventually, you have to write about them. And just figuring out what to say means making some judgments.

One of the characters that we're especially excited to see in the third season of Game of Thrones is Mance Rayder, the Night's Watch deserter turned King-Beyond-the-Wall. Now the identity of the actor portraying Mance Rayder has been revealed, and it's a veteran HBO ruler.
EW reports that Ciarán Hinds, who played Julius Caesar on HBO's Rome and can currently be seen playing Bill Clinton clone Bud Hammond on Political Animals, will be playing the leader of the Free Folk. So how much of Caesar (or, for that matter, Clinton) will we be seeing in our Mance Rayder?

FORMER Winchester Canon Residentiary The Very Revd Alexander Wedderspoon has died aged 83.
He served at the cathedral for 17 years before becoming Dean of Guildford in 1987.
During his time at Winchester, Wedderspoon - the son of a Church of Scotland minister - proved himself an adept and foresighted Treasurer.
He was the driving force behind the opening of the pastoral and educational centres in The Close, and eventually became the chairman of the national Cathedrals' Finance Conference.
Wedderspoon retired in 2001, and lived in Cranleigh until his death on June 10.
His funeral was held at Guildford Cathedral last week.
He is survived by his wife, Judith, daughter Caroline, and son Michael.

Story highlights
- Software problems caused Healthcare.gov glitches, U.S. official says
- Poorly written code, out-of-date applications found in outside analysis
- IT contractor CGI-Federal had received $90 million by March for site, GAO says
- Government won't say what parts of the site CGI-Federal built
Technical problems with the federally facilitated health insurance exchange were caused by a specific software component that crashed under the high volume of visitors last week, preventing users from creating accounts in the beginning stages of the enrollment process, a federal official confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.
"At lower volumes, this software component would work fine, and at higher volume, that's what created the problems," the official said. "We've made software changes to make the system more efficient and be able to handle higher volumes."
For more than a week, visitors to Healthcare.gov have experienced slow connection speeds and error messages preventing them from purchasing insurance. The Department of Health and Human Services has been taking down parts of the site during off-peak hours, and officials say that adding more server capacity; moving certain over-stressed components to dedicated hardware; and making software changes to increase efficiency have improved the situation.
On Monday, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told Comedy Central's Jon Stewart that despite the hiccups, hundreds of thousands of consumers have created accounts on the federal site, but the government won't announce how many of those users have actually purchased insurance until next month.
The government has been assisted in building and maintaining Healthcare.gov primarily by contractor CGI-Federal. As of March, the contractor had collected nearly $90 million from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, according to a report issued in June by the Government Accountability Office.
"We have a unique, cross-sector perspective on health IT that makes us well-suited to partner with CMS for success on one of the most visible efforts in CMS history," CGI Vice President Rich Martin said in a December 2011 statement announcing the contract, the original value of which was more than $55 million.
As part of Obamacare implementation, CGI is also performing exchange work in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Kentucky, New Mexico and Vermont, according to the company's website.
A Canadian company with a global presence, CGI presents itself as the world's fifth largest independent IT and business process services company. The company has experience in health care IT as a partner to some of the Canadian Ministries of Health and as a provider of secure electronic medical records in Europe.
Its U.S. government contracting branch, CGI-Federal, has done more than $2.5 billion in business with more than two dozen government agencies since 2001, according to a search at USASpending.gov. This work includes nearly a billion dollars of work with HHS, costly projects for the defense and intelligence industry, as well as contracts worth potentially billions of dollars supporting the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
Career operations staff at both HHS and CMS managed the company's work, as well as the work of Quality Software Services, Inc., a separate contractor that has received about $55 million from CMS to build the federal data hub.
According to government officials, that data hub and the various levels of identity verification necessary for enrollment are working properly, providing accurate eligibility results and tax credit determinations. The problems have been centered in the website's front-end, or Healthcare.gov's consumer-facing side.
An analysis of this front-end performed by leading web-hosting company Media Temple for the Wall Street Journal and provided to CNN found that the designers failed to follow basic protocols for high-traffic sites. Six of Media Temple's high-level engineers point to the site's structure rather than web traffic as the primary problem. The faults they identified include out-of-date web applications; poorly written code; lines of testing code left in the final product; and unnecessary or unchanging information sent to users on each login rather than stored on local servers or computers for quicker access, a process called caching.
"We're in the business of fast websites that don't fail, that's what we do," said Media Temple President and COO Russ Reeder. "And so when I had my engineers look at the web site, they came up with a lot of things that they could have done better. If this is so important and they've gotten paid so much money -- the consulting firm CGI, $55 million for this project where's the oversight? Where's the technical leadership saying, 'tell me how you tested this and how do we make sure that this is not only secure but it won't fail when we have 7 million people log in?' "
Government officials wouldn't comment on which parts of Healthcare.gov were built by CGI and which parts were built by the government. CGI didn't return requests for comment.

Sophomore Christian Francia
ANNAPOLIS, MD-A member of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's swimming team earned the Corsairs' first medal in open men's diving on the first day of action at the three-day, Eastern College Athletic Conference Championships at LeJeune Hall Friday.
Sophomore Christian Francia (Hampton, NH/Winnacunnet HS) finished fifth in three meter diving with 246.70 points, earning the medal. He finished eighth in qualifying, earning a spot in the final.
For the women, sophomore Katelyn Kidney (Lynn, MA/Lynn Classical HS/Bryant) finished 31st in the 500 yard freestyle in 5:20.28.
"Christian earned our first medal in ECAC open men's diving," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Cathy Motta. "Katie was a bit slower than last weekend, but swam a little nervous. We are hoping for a better performance tomorrow in the 200 yard freestyle."
Francia will take Saturday off, and compete in the one-meter event Sunday.

What makes Silks so special?
It's the secret mix of mica and other proprietary mineral particles that refract light, like a crystal.
How do Silks work?
Silks are easy to use paints that create a semi-gloss glaze – not too shiny, not too flat, but just right.
Simply brush Silks onto your project, using a wide brush for broad strokes or a fine brush for details. Or use a brayer if you want even wider swaths of color.
Allow Silks to dry between colors to keep the glaze layers distinct and create depth, or blend the colors while still wet if you prefer that effect.
What surfaces are suitable for Silks?
It's a long list. Silks are formulated for paper, wood, pre-washed fabrics, papier mache, acrylic and other plastics, canvas, gourds, silk and silk ribbon, terra cotta, paper-clay, air-dry clay, air-dry polymer, leather, faux leather, and more.

If you are going to have a new country of 'don't insure me' it is clearly not in some sort of non country section of the drop down but resides just after Denmark.
I've talked before about where Ryanair if people did what they asked they would disappear. But I still like them, I just like pointing out when some company acts oddly.
There is a level of hiding extra charges from people. Setting up your own country to get an extra few quid out of people really shows commitment.
