JACKSONVILLE � Authorities say the woman found dead at a Jacksonville hotel Sunday was the wife of a Marine shot dead in Texas.
JACKSONVILLE � Authorities say the woman found dead at a Jacksonville hotel Sunday was the wife of a Marine shot dead in Texas.
Rubi Estefania Smith, 21, of Bakersfield, Calif., was found dead at Sunset Inn on Western Boulevard Sunday afternoon. Authorities say her injuries were consistent with a knife wound.
Her husband, 23-year-old Estaban Jimene Smith, was killed in an active shooter incident in Texas earlier Sunday.
Rubi Smith�s cause of death will be determined by Medical Examiners Office.
Authorities say Esteban Smith appears to be responsible for his wife�s death.
Two people were killed and five were injured in a central Texas shooting spree when a gunman, identified as Esteban Smith, appeared to randomly shoot at vehicles he came upon, according to the Associated Press.
He was shot by state troopers and a Texas game warden. An assault rifle, a handgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition were recovered from him, according to law officials in Texas.
The shootings began about 4:30 a.m. Sunday when the gunman shot a motorist in the Eden area, about 40 miles southeast of San Angelo. Three other people were shot in their vehicles in the 90 minutes that followed.
Of the four, one remained hospitalized late Sunday.
A 41-year-old woman identified as Alicia Torres was found dead in her car in Eola, just east of San Angelo.
JPD Investigators have conferred with the Onslow County District Attorney�s office concerning the case. The case remains an open and active investigation, as JPD officers and detectives process evidence and conduct additional interviews.
�Because there are multiple agencies and crime scenes associated with the case, it will take several weeks for the all of the physical evidence to be processed,� said Chief Mike Yaniero, Director of Public Safety, via a Tuesday news release.
Anyone with information about the death of Rubi Estefania Smith is asked to contact JPD Detective Derek Simmons at 910-938-6405 or email@example.com or Crimestoppers at 910-938-3273. Callers to Crimestoppers are not required to reveal their identities.

After the 1898 Spanish-American War, the US took over the Philippines, Guam, Samoa, Hawaii, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Canal Zone, assorted other territories, and Puerto Rico. On September 29, its Governor-General, Manuel Macias y Casado (a Spanish general), ceded control to Washington, its current status today as a colony.
In 1966, then University of Puerto Rico economics associate, Dr. Antonio J. Gonzales said:
"The Puerto Rican Independence Party bases its struggle in favor of the independence of Puerto Rico on the conviction that we continue to be a (US) colony, thus being denied (our) right to freedom and sovereignty."
After taking over in 1898, America "never granted Puerto Ricans the total control of their lives and destiny. Sovereign powers have never been transferred to us in order to be able to decide in all those areas that affect the collective life of our nation."
For over 112 years, America's had total control, Puerto Ricans virtually none, forced to "accept the dispositions of laws imposed" by a colonial power. In its relationship with America, Puerto Rico is called "Estado Libre Asociado" (Free Associated State or Commonwealth). Under international law, it's a colony, seeking independence. Therein lies the roots of its struggle, Oscar Lopez Rivera imprisoned for supporting it.
A collective 1981 statement by Puerto Rican Independentistas, convicted of "seditious conspiracy," said the following:
"Our position remains clear: Puerto Rico is a nation intervened, militarily conquered and colonized by the United States....We are prisoners of war captured by the enemy. Our actions have always been and continue to be in the nature of fighting a war of independence, a war of national liberation....The US interventionist government has absolutely no right, no say so whatsoever in regards to Puerto Rico, ourselves, or any Puerto Rican prisoner of war. The US interventionist government has only one choice....and that is to GET OUT! It is our right to regain and secure our national sovereignty. Nothing will stand in the way of achieving our goal."
The struggle continues, Rivera one of its victims. The web site prolibertadweb.com calls him and others like him:
"workers and professionals, students and teachers, community organizers, artists, mothers, and fathers of families. They are fighters (for) Puerto Rico's Independence and social justice." They reject colonization and exploitation. They're committed activists for justice, struggling to end it.
Each year for decades, the UN Decolonization Committee approved a draft resolution for Puerto Rican independence, the latest one on June 21:
"calling on the Government of the United States to expedite a process that would allow the Puerto Rican people to exercise fully their right to self-determination and independence, and for the General Assembly formally to consider the situation concerning Puerto Rico, which the world body had not formerly taken up since the Territory's removal from the list of Non-Self-Governing Territories in 1953."
"....a majority of petitioners expressed dissatisfaction today with the commonwealth's treatment by the United States, arguing that the administering Power was hampering Puerto Rican decolonization initiatives and those of civil society....(America) continue(s) acting as a colonizing Power over a country with its own cultural identity."
Born in 1943 in San Sebastian, Puerto Rico, he moved to America at age 12, then two years later to Chicago to live with his sister. A decorated Vietnam veteran, he returned home to his Puerto Rican community, plagued by unemployment, drugs, police brutality, and dire levels of healthcare, education, and other essential social services - issues he was determined to address.
He helped create the Puerto Rican High School and Cultural Center. He co-founded the Rafael Cancel Miranda High School (now called Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos High School). He worked for public school bilingual education, for universities to admit more Latino students and hire Latino faculty and staff, and for Chicago area corporations, like Illinois Bell, People's Gas and Commonwealth Edison, to end discriminatory hiring.
He became an organizer for the Northwest Community Organization (NCO), ASSPA, ASPIRA, and Chicago's First Congregational Church. He also helped found FREE, a half-way house for convicted drug addicts, and ASAS, an educational program for Latino prisoners at Illinois' Stateville Prison.
He also worked for Puerto Rican independence. In 1974, he helped organize the committee to "Free the Five" (Rafael Cancel Miranda, Irwin Flores, Oscar Collazao, Lolita Lebron, and Andres Figueroa Cordero). In 1975, he was forced underground with other comrades after the Justice Department named him an FALN leader (Fuerzas Armadas de Liberacion Nacional - Armed Forces of National Liberation).
On May 10, 2001, FBI Director Louis Freeh described the organization as follows to the Senate Committees on Appropriations, Armed Services, and Select Committee on Intelligence, under the heading: "Left-wing and Puerto Rican extremist groups," saying:
"....left-wing (domestic terrorists) generally profess a revolutionary socialist doctrine and view themselves as protectors of the people against the 'dehumanizing effects' of capitalism and imperialism. They aim to bring about change in the United States through revolution rather than through the established political process."
"Terrorist groups (like FALN), seeking to secure Puerto Rican independence from the United States through violent means, represent one of the remaining active vestiges of left-wing terrorism....they view....acts of terrorism as a means by which to draw attention to their desire for independence....Acts of terrorism continue to be perpetrated (by) violent" separatist groups like FALN.
On May 29, 1981, he was arrested, the FBI calling him one of America's most feared fugitives. Accused of being an FALN leader, he neither confirmed or denied it, affirming only his nonviolent activism. At trial, he refused to participate, declaring himself a "prisoner of war."
In 1981, he was convicted of armed robbery, miscellaneous charges, and seditious conspiracy - sedition pertaining to actions to incite insurrection or rebellion; conspiracy by working with others to achieve it.
Initially sentenced to 55 years, 15 more were added in 1988, based on spurious charges of participating in a conspiracy to escape, that sentence to begin when the original one ends.
In 1999, the Clinton administration offered him and 11 other Puerto Rican nationalists clemency. He declined, saying it required him to serve 10 more years with good conduct. Had he accepted, he'd have been free a year ago.
His sister, Zenaida Lopez, said he refused because on parole, he'd be in "prison outside prison." Incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Terre Haute, IN, July 27, 2027 is his scheduled release date unless paroled and accepts or gets unconditional clemency sooner.
The "ProLIBERTAD campaign for the freedom of Puerto Rican political prisoners and prisoners of war" called sentences given "Puerto Rican patriots excessive and punitive." On average, men got 70.8 years, women 72.8, 19 times longer than average in the year they were sentenced, real criminals faring much better.
For example, from 1966 - 1985, average murder sentences were 22.7 years; rape, 12.5 years, and arms violations 12. Only 12.8% of all federal prisoners got over 20 years. Most often, only repeat offenders get longer sentences. No Puerto Rican "patriot" had a prior record at time of arrest.
Worse still, they've been harshly treated in prison, in violation of UN Minimum Uniform Rules on the Treatment of Prisoners (UNSMRTR), Rule A1 6(1). They've been held far from families despite facilities closer to home. Some have been sexually assaulted, Alejandrina Torres attacked in three different prisons, in one case by prison guards and a male lieutenant. She was then held in solitary confinement for complaining.
They've been denied adequate medical care. Some have been held in underground confinement, Rivera, in 1993, describing his treatment at Marion, IL maximum security as follows:
"I am enclosed in a cell that is 8 feet wide by 9 feet long on an average of 22 hours each day. Today while I write this letter, I have been 36 hours without going out and tomorrow if they do not take us out it will have been three days without moving from this same space. In this little space I have everything. From eating my meals to taking care of my needs. So it is my dining room and latrine at the same time. My bed is a slab of cement. And the whole cell is painted the same dead yellow color. From an aesthetic point of view, it is as attractive as a jail for zoo animals."
In 1987, Amnesty International (AI) condemned Marion conditions, saying:
"In Marion, violations of the (UN) Minimum Standard Rules (for treating prisoners) are common. There is almost no rule in the Minimum Standard Rules that is not broken in one form or another."
In 1988, AI called conditions in Lexington, KY's Maximum Security Unit for women "deliberately and gratuitously oppressive."
The same holds for all federal and state maximum security facilities and many others, prisoners routinely abused, especially political ones. Earlier articles explained, accessed through the following links:
From 1986 - 1998, Rivera was held in punitive maximum security confinement, and remained in max facilities until 2008. Only then was he transferred to a medium security prison on condition he report every two hours to corrections staff, an unheard of stipulation. Currently at FCI Terre Haute, his mailing address is:
Oscar Lopez Rivera
FCI Terre Haute
PO Box 33
Terre Haute, IN 47808
In early January 2011, likely the first week, Rivera will appear before the US Parole Commission after nearly 30 years in prison. Supporters are urged to download, print and sign the attached letter and mail it to the following address:
Chairman Isaac Fulwood, Jr.
US Parole Commission

Selena Gomez's Stylist Spills On Her Chic MTV Movie Awards Dress & Her Sexy Billboard Awards Look!
Basia Richard told us all about Selena's getting-ready process for the MTV Awards, and even shared the special alterations the star requested on her show-stopping Billboard Awards gown!
Selena Gomez was always adorable, but this past year the star has had a stellar style game — just look at the chic Giambattista Valli mini she wore to the MTV Movie Awards, and the sexy Dolce & Gabbana gown she chose for the Billboard Awards! So, how does Selena decide when she wants to go for something sweet or sexy? "We like to separate when she's promoting a movie as a pose to being a musician. When she's representing herself as an actress we opt for classic, pretty looks, we like to keep it clean and let the outfit speak for itself," Basia Richard, Selena's stylist, told us.
For the MTV Movie Awards on Jun. 5, Basia wanted to see Selena in something more classic, which is why she knew the Giambattista Valli look was perfect as soon as she saw it. "When I first saw it I thought, 'OMG she has to wear it,'" Basia said. "I love that look so much! Even from a couple of weeks ago I was anxious to see it. She definitely wanted to come across as an actress and I wanted to see her in something classic and minimalistic, you know she's always going back and forth. I absolutely knew it was the one I wanted to see her wearing."
While Selena looked so sophisticated and chic, her Dolce & Gabbana gown at the Billboard Music Awards just a few weeks earlier gave off a totally different vibe! Selena owned the red carpet when she stepped out in the sexy dress, complete with cutouts and a slit — and it turns out the cutouts were added at the request of the petite popstar!
"Initally the dress came with no cutouts and Selena really loved it, but we felt like something was missing so we decided to add the custom cutouts to make it even more glamorous. It was mainly Selena's idea and we decided to take a chance. We loved it and she was so happy. She loved it so much and the confidence came out it was a completely different dress for us, she owned it!"

Resident Mom™ Review: Thermofocus Thermometer
Product: Thermofocus Infrared Thermometer
Buy it Here
Reviewed By: Resident Mom™ Angelique
Resident Mom™ Says:
I am the mom of an 18-month-old girl and I also have a baby on the way so I was excited to be able to test this new thermometer. I really liked it because you don't have to hold your child down to take their temperature and you don't have to touch them so it helps to stop the spread of germs when they are sick.
Using the Thermafocus I was able to take my daughter's temperature at any time, quickly, including when my husband was reading to her and while she was lying in bed. She hardly noticed anything at all. I also liked the other features that came with this thermometer. You can test the temperatures of liquids such as bottles, heated food, bath water, and you can also use it to determine the room temperature. Those features will definitely come in handy with a new baby. Living in the desert the weather changes so frequently that I often wonder if the baby's room was warm enough or too warm at times, now I can be sure.
The only issue I had with the thermometer was that it's a little difficult to open the battery door but that got a lot easier with practice. The Thermafocus thermometer is definitely something I wish I had from the beginning with my firstborn and I'm excited to use in the future.
Pros: It's easy to use and it takes temperature readings quickly.
Cons: The battery door is difficult to open and the instructional DVD did not play in either of my DVD players, but the instructions were clearly written and easy to follow.

Resident Mom™ Says:
I'm a child care provider. I take care of other people's children along with my own. It's of utmost importance to not spread germs, especially important when I'm trying to identify if a child is sick. The Thermofocus is a non-contact thermometer that keeps each child safe and when taking multiple children's temperatures, hygienic.
The bonus of this thermometer is that it can take temperatures of other things in your home like bath water, bottles of breast milk or formula, baby food… there are so many uses. I keep this thermometer handy all the time, because I feel confident that I'm getting accurate temperatures in everything, from a child's body temperature to the food or milk that I'm serving.
Pros: Multi-use thermometer, hygienic and safe.
Cons: No easy on-and-off function, can be difficult to get an accurate reading on a moving child.
Rating: A-
Reviewed By: Resident Mom™ Erica
Resident Mom™ Says:
This product is great and I would recommend it to friends. The thermometer is accurate and fast (if done properly). I like the fact that I could take my child's temperature three different ways (forehead, neck, and navel) as well as test the temperature of bottles, bath water and my house. I think this product is awesome compared to other thermometers I have tried. I have been searching for a fast and accurate thermometer and now my search is over! In a matter of seconds I can have my child's temperature, and with a squirmy child that is a heaven sent.
Pros: Fast and easy
Cons: The instructional manual was difficult to understand, and the DVD didn't work in my player.
Rating:I give this product a B only because of the instructional manual & CD. Otherwise it would have gotten an A.

The new Raven replaces the adiStar Trail. The protective upper is constructed of a closed mesh with high friction-welded overlays that form a full rand with a rubber toe bumper.
The midsole is a firm, molded EVA with a "mud release surface"—essentially a slick finish that keeps the mud from clinging to the sides. The outersole is a new configuration of plus-sign–shaped flexible lugs covering the entire sole, but they're made out of adiWear on the medial half and sticky rubber on the lateral half. The Raven is constructed using ForMotion 360, a full-length thermoplastic Strobel board that offers protection on the trails without restricting flexibility, in combination with the proven ForMotion cassette in the heel, here in a trail-specific design with a side-to-side cleft across the entire heel to better flex with the uneven terrain of most trails.

How do you explain Esther Williams to younger moviegoers with no working knowledge of her stardom?
She came, she swam, she conquered. The 1940s and 1950s popular culture was, and is, unthinkable without her. And that smile looked just as starry on land as it did underwater.
The champion swimmer turned movie marquee asset, a unique property housed by the MGM stable or, rather, the pool just outside the stable, died Thursday in her sleep at 91.
By the age of 8, she was earning money counting towels at a public swim facility in Inglewood, Calif. She dropped out of Los Angeles City College to join Billy Rose's San Francisco Aquacade revue, opposite Johnny Weissmuller. By that time the latter, best known as Tarzan, was on the way down; Williams had yet to ascend.
She admitted, freely and gladly, that she really couldn't sing, or act or dance. But in films with titles such as "Dangerous When Wet" or "Million Dollar Mermaid," she took the screen in a flamboyant, flaming, often bizarre series of underwater ballet sequences.
The comedienne Fanny Brice said it: "Wet, she's a star. Dry, she ain't." Yes, but wet, Williams really was a star.
She swam with Ricardo Montalban for romance. She swam with Red Skelton for a gag. She beamed at Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." The studio publicity departments, knowing they had a formidable athlete and swimwear model in their corner, dubbed her "Hollywood's Mermaid" and "The Queen of the Surf."
And then, naturally, she started getting interested in getting out of the water more and more. Her once-loyal film audiences didn't cooperate. She retired from the screen in the early '60s, investing in various business projects, among them Esther Williams Swimming Pools.
I remember seeing her for the first time as one of a parade of MGM stars featured in the nostalgia binge "That's Entertainment!" And I remember thinking: Well, she's more a lot more interesting than Mark Spitz. (In fact, Donald O'Connor, introducing her clip segment in that compilation celebration, offered this wisecrack, dated the moment he uttered it: "Eat your heart out, Mark Spitz!")
She may have been a one-trick pony, but Williams brought something to her stardom that cannot be exploited if it's not there for starters. She loved being on camera. She moved, beautifully. And if she always looked most comfortable making like a mermaid or a highly promising swimmer who somehow landed, for a few glorious years, in Hollywood's most ridiculously overscale swimming pools, well, what is American pop culture without a fluke or two?
One of Williams' dry-land attempts was the woman-in-peril thriller "The Unguarded Moment," from 1956. In that drama, she's menaced by the usually sweet-natured Edward Andrews. The audience didn't know what to make of it. Williams was born to conquer oceans, not serve as cliched movie prey for sleazeballs.
Williams' survivors requested Thursday that donations in the star's name be made to the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

The Pens made a couple of roster moves a few minutes ago. Jeff Zatkoff has been called up from WBS. Evgeni Malkin has been removed from Injured Reserve. To make room on the 23-man roster for Malkin, Bennett has been assigned to WBS/
Fleury practiced this morning with the Pens. The Zatkoff recall could be just precautionary, not taking any chances. Bennett will be back sooner than later. He was the only forward that didn't need to clear waivers on the roster. So it was a numbers game to get Malkin back on the team's 23-man roster.

Head coach Dan Bylsma had a few lineup notes for tonight's game...
- Malkin is a game-time decision
- Fleury is a game-time decision
- Vokoun is starting in net as previously planned
Evgeni Malkin, who's missed the last 9 games with a upper-body injury, skated on a line with Neal and Morrow. Despres, Engelland and Eaton rotated on the third pairing. The rushes looked like this...
(Bennett, Jeffrey)
Also, Malkin practiced on the top power-play unit with Martin, Crosby, Neal and Kunitz. The second unit was Niskanen, Despres, Kennedy, Dupuis and Morrow providing the net-front presence.
Final note: Adams switched to center for a couple of rushes with Vitale playing the right wing.

I'm sure you've all heard by now that Jarome Iginla is a Pittsburgh Penguin, which reunites him with Olympic gold medal teammate Sidney Crosby (don't forget the two hooked up on the "golden goal" in overtime to give Canada the gold). It was a late evening/morning for myself considering the Pens/Flames didn't announce the trade until 1:25 a.m. But I powered through to bring you the best coverage possible.
At 1:25 a.m. Eastern standard time the Flames and Penguins announced the trade of Iginla to Pittsburgh in exchange for prospects Ben Hanowski, Kenny Agostino and a 2013 first-round pick.
And just like that, Iginla became a Pittsburgh Penguin.
"I talked to (Iginla) after the fact. He agreed to waive (his no-trade clause) and come to Pittsburgh," Shero said. "It was a big change after 16 years in Calgary so I'm sure it will be quite emotional. He said he was excited to come to Pittsburgh."
Full story here.
At 1:25 a.m. Thursday morning the Pittsburgh Penguins and Calgary Flames jointly announced a blockbuster trade. The Penguins acquired seven-time All-Star and long-time Flames captain Jarome Iginla in exchange for prospects Ben Hanowski, Kenny Agostino and a 2013 first-round pick.
The world was stunned. Especially since nearly every major media outlet had reported that Iginla had been traded to the Boston Bruins. It seemed to everyone that Penguins general manager Ray Shero swooped in at the last minute to snatch Iginla from the Bruins. But actually, the trade was the culmination weeks and weeks of negotiations and maneuvering.
Full story here.
What does a player like Iginla, even at his age, bring to a team like the Penguins that already has so many stars of its own?
He brings a lot of different elements, ability to play with good players, play in tough areas, good leadership. He wants to win. He'll accept any role that's asked of him by coaches or teammates. From the people I've talked to that have played with him talk about what a great teammate and person he is. My expectation is that he'll be a really good fit in terms of the team and the guys that we have. Jarome Iginla is 35 years old. He's not 45. He's like a few other guys that have come here that seem to be rejuvenated playing with these younger players. That's what we're hoping for with the guys that we picked up. Hopefully, that will be the case.
Full interview here.
And lastly, this pretty much sums up the emotions of Pens fans everywhere.

New Penguins defenseman Douglas Murray's nickname is Crankshaft, which surely derives from his bruising physical style of play.
But that's just speculation, as the true origin of the moniker has been a mystery during Murray's years in the league and he chose not to elaborate on Wednesday when asked, saying with a grin, "It's still not going to get told if it helps the legend."
Full story here.

Entering Tuesday's game against the Hurricanes, last season's leading goal scorer Evander Kane had just three points in his last 14 games. But the tough winger broke through for a big performance against Carolina, scoring a goal and assisting on the other three in a 4-1 win. Kane also had six shots (he leads the league in this category with 142) and four hits (he leads the team with a total of 111) in the game. This may be the type of effort needed to get him and linemates Olli Jokinen and Antti Miettinen going consistently on the scoresheet.
The word "consistent" would be best used to describe the line of Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler. Captain Ladd leads the Jets with 14 goals and 32 points in 34 games, and is one of just four NHLers (Evgeni Malkin, Chris Kunitz and Martin St. Louis being the others) that has not gone consecutive games without a point this season. Wheeler is second in scoring with 14 goals and 28 points, while Little – the Jets' top faceoff guy – is tied for fourth on the team.
Full preview here.

Good morning Pens fans! I'm sure many of you are waking up and finding out that Pens GM Ray Shero acquired 7-time All-Star Jaroma Iginla from Calgary. More on that a bit later.
Tonight the Pens battle the Southeast Division leading Winnipeg Jets at CONSOL Energy Center at 7 p.m. as they try to stretch their winning streak to 14 games. It will also be the debut of bruising defenseman Douglas Murray. Also, we hope to get an update on the status of goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. He was still being evaluated after being run over in a collision with Tyler Kennedy and Brian Gionta. Tomas Vokoun is tonight's starting goalie, but Fleury has not been ruled out as backup.
We'll start the day with one of my Top 5 favorite songs of all time. It's Jimi Hendrix's cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." The song combines the powerful story telling and ominous lyrics of impending conflict from Dylan with Hendrix's blistering calm and chaotic crescendo guitar screams. A perfect match.

Updated: Modified embedded SQL queries to use parameters where appropriate. Results updated.
I've been playing with Entity Framework recently, and noticed that it seemed to be much slower than LINQ to SQL. I ran some tests, and sure enough, I was right. The numbers are interesting:
The code is available here if you want to run these tests yourself.
The structure of the test was to set up a static method to return data from the Customers table of Northwind, suitable for binding to an ObjectDataSource in ASP.NET. I ran two sets of tests, one to return six columns from all rows, and one to return the same six columns from a single row. Each set contained the following variations:
- DataReader, to provide baseline performance to compare against other technologies.
- DataTable, using classic ADO.NET tools (DataAdapter running a command to fill a table).
- LINQ to SQL, using a compiled query, and with object tracking turned off, to maximize performance. The results list was projected directly from the query.
- LINQ to Entity Framework, using a compiled query to maximize performance. As with LINQ to SQL, the results list was projected directly from the query.
- Entity SQL, as an alternative to LINQ, querying the Entity Framework. The code structure for Entity SQL uses a reader, similar to using a DataReader with T-SQL.
For both LINQ to SQL and Entity Framework, I used the visual designer tools to include only the Customers table in the model.
The test measured elapsed time and total processor time. The difference could be assumed to include time used by SQL Server, as well as any other out-of-process time. I ran the tests on a Dell Latitude E6500 with Vista Ultimate, SQL Server 2008, an Intel Core 2 Duo P9500 (2.5 GHz), 4GB RAM, and 7200 RPM disk. The system was idle except for tests; test runs were fairly consistent in timings, as measured by standard deviations over a set of 10 test runs.
The test program ran each query once to ensure that all code was loaded and JITed, and all access plans and data were cached, so that startup time was excluded for each scenario. The program then ran 10,000 queries and collected aggregate time and working set information. For each scenario, the test program was run once, then run 10 times to record timing data.
Keep in mind that the test was designed to measure only the code execution for queries. There is no business logic, and the test design ensured that start-up costs were excluded from test results.
As expected, using a DataReader with raw T-SQL is the best performer, and the technology of choice for extremely large data volumes and for applications where performance is the only thing that matters. The DataReader used .40 milliseconds (elapsed) to retrieve 92 rows and store the data in a list, and only .15 milliseconds for a single row.
The DataTable with classic ADO.NET performed almost as well, using .58 milliseconds (elapsed) for 92 rows and .18 milliseconds for a single row. In the chart above, the DataReader is used as a baseline for comparison, so the relative cost of using a DataTable and DataAdapter was 1.4 for 92 rows, and 1.2 for a single row. That's not a lot of overhead in exchange for using a standardized structure that includes metadata on names and data types. Memory usage was virtually identical to memory usage for the DataReader.
LINQ to SQL also performed very well, using .63 milliseconds (elapsed) for 92 rows and .36 milliseconds for a single row. The performance ratio compared to the DataReader is 1.6 for 92 rows and 2.3 for a single row. Compared to the DataTable, the performance ratio (not charted) was 1.2 for 92 rows and 1.9 for a single row. LINQ to SQL used 40 MB additional memory, based on the final working set size at the end of each run.
That's very decent performance, considering the additional overhead, although Rico Mariani of Microsoft got even better numbers (and I'd love to know how to get closer to those results). In my tests, all queries established new connection objects (or data contexts) for each query, but I can't tell if Rico did the same in his performance tests. This may account for the difference in performance.
With Entity Framework, I found significant additional performance costs. LINQ to EF used 2.73 milliseconds (elapsed) to retrieve 92 rows, and 2.43 milliseconds for a single row. For 92 rows, that's a performance ratio of 6.8 compared to the DataReader, 4.7 compared to the DataTable, and 4.4 compared to LINQ to SQL (the latter two are not charted above). For a single row, LINQ to EF used 2.43 millisecond (elapsed), with performance ratios of 16.0 compared to the DataReader, 13.2 compared to the DataTable, and 6.8 compared to LINQ to SQL. Memory usage for LINQ to EF was about 130 MB more than for the DataReader.
Entity SQL queries to EF performed about the same as LINQ to EF, with 2.78 milliseconds (elapsed) for 92 rows and 2.32 milliseconds for a single row. Memory usage was similar to LINQ to EF.
Some of the conclusions are obvious. If performance is paramount, go with a DataReader! Entity Framework uses two layers of object mapping (compared to a single layer in LINQ to SQL), and the additional mapping has performance costs. At least in EF version 1, application designers should choose Entity Framework only if the modeling and ORM mapping capabilities can justify that cost.
In between those extremes, the real surprise is that LINQ to SQL can perform so well. (The caveat is that tuning LINQ to SQL is not always straight-forward.) The advantage that LINQ (including LINQ to EF) offers is in code quality, resulting from two key improvements over classic ADO.NET:
- Names and data types are strongly enforced from top to bottom of your application. Very specifically, that means all the way down to the tables in the database. LINQ uses .NET types, further simplifying the developer's life.
- DataTables and DataSets bring the relational data model rather intrusively into the code. To process data in a DataTable, you must adapt your code to the DataTable structure, including DataRows, DataColumns, and (with DataSets and multiple tables) DataRelationships. By contrast, LINQ is a first-class language component in .NET, with object-relational mapping inherent in the LINQ data providers and models. Processing data with LINQ feels like processing object collections, because that's exactly what you're doing.
So for now, LINQ to SQL is a winner! As Entity Framework version 2 takes shape, it will be time to re-evaluate.
Edited to fix math errors (blush). These affect timings only, but since the chart is based on ratios, those numbers are still correct.

It is celebrated by Bengali Hindus by holding community functions in 'Durga puja pandals' which are very artistically decorated and compete for prizes. Cultural and musical programmes including 'Rabindra Sangeet' and plays called 'Jatras' are held over a four day period, culminating in the immersion of the diety on 'Bijoya' which is celebrated as 'Dusra' or 'Dushehra' in many parts of India. 'Bijoya' is regarded as the Bengali new year.

Get to Know Us: Joe Postma, Homebrewing Columnist
Tips and techniques to help you brew better beer at home.
Editor's Note: Joe Postma is one of the most knowledgeable homebrewers I've ever known—he's always a great source of advice for others attempting to brew their own beer. His finely tuned palate—and truly delicious homebrew—impressed me back when he joined me for tastings for Serious Eats' first beer column, so I knew I wanted to bring him to the Drinks team as a resource for homebrewing recipes and troubleshooting tips. Got questions for Joe about homebrewing? Topics or styles of beer you wish he'd cover? Please leave them in the comments.
Name: Joe Postma
Location: Chicago
Occupation: Consulting Actuary
Website/Twitter: @joepostma
When did you first get interested in beer? When I moved to Washington for graduate school. The beer in the Northwest is fantastic, and the culture of craft brewing and brewpubs seems to be a natural part of everyday life.
How did you get started homebrewing? A friend I met at grad school had a beautiful 3-tier 10 gallon homebrewing stand, and I loved going over to help him brew. I would sit there and drink his homebrew while he explained the various steps he was doing. After I moved away, it was a pretty natural step to start brewing on my own.
What's your favorite beer for winter? My favorite commercial beer for winter is North Coast Brewing Co's Old Rasputin. My own homebrewed Imperial Stout is a close second. A couple of times I did a version where I aged the stout on ancho chilis and cocoa nibs, and that was a perfect beer to have on a cold and snowy night.
What's your favorite beer-and-food pairing? A darker sour beer like an Oud Bruin paired with a grilled steak.
What are your guilty pleasures? I eat a lot of gummy bears. Probably more than I should.
Describe your perfect meal. Freshly caught dungeness crab, garlic mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and Saison Dupont.
What food won't you eat? I have a really hard time with mushrooms. I want to like them, but I don't.
What drink won't you drink? Nothing yet.
What would you like to try but haven't yet? I've sought out Founder's Canadian Breakfast Stout at least a dozen times over the last few years, and it always runs out just before I get there. Someday I hope to try it, but by now I'm afraid my expectations are too high.
Favorite food or drink person? Lately I've really enjoyed listening to Jamil Zainasheff's podcasts over at The Brewing Network. He has a lot of homebrewing knowledge and a great dry sense of humor.
What do your friends think of your food and drink obsessions? Most of the people I hang out with have the same obsessions, so it works out well. Everyone else just expects me to be the guy to bring beer to the party.
Favorite food or drink sites or blogs? Seriouseats.com. What more do you need?
Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant and bar recommendations. Who's yours? Her name is Siri. She's really nice.
And what's the best recommendation she's ever given you?
Maku Sushi. It's a block from my house, but it's so nondescript on the outside that you can walk right by and may never see it. They do a yellowtail sashimi dish with red and yellow beets and toasted pine nuts that is to die for.
Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? I love to grill. My grilled salmon with grilled vegetables (potatoes, peppers, onions and Brussels sprouts) is probably the best. I also like to grill steaks and jumbo scallops.

"Farmers need to be aware of what's happening in the used machinery market to buy at good prices," says Greg Peterson, Farm Journal Media's used equipment values expert. If you need to add new iron to your farm, Peterson recommends considering other types of auctions because used machinery typically goes for the highest price at farm auctions, knowing the market's rhythms as the first and last quarters tend to have the highest prices, buy the right aged equipment—aim for two- to three-year-old equipment—and don't let emotions run wild.

Debaters look forward
to a great year
by Merile·e Dyer
Allie Jo Moore, Bob Elliot, Julie Palen
and Dan Nelson will compose the varsity
debate team representing Bethel at the
White Water, Wisc. tournament this Saturday.
Dave Peterson, Fred Ogimachi,
Bruce Riley and Terry Leafblad wil debate
as novices in this first meet of the
year. The team plans to be back Saturday
rfheir topic for this year will discuss
the right of the American citizen to
personal privacy and the conflict it creates
with public safety and national security.
The debaters must be prepared
to take either side of the argument as
they compete in different tournaments.
As the team goes from one tournament
to another they will be constantly changing
and rebuilding their defenses.
The debaters received the topic last
July and the composite of three months
research has been condensed on mounds
of white 4" x 5" cards; they can be easily
recognized by the index files under
their arms. Marg Erickson, the coach,
describes the debaters as having the typical
feeling of "I'm not prepared," as
they go into their first round. They will
be judged on their analysis, approach,
reasoning, organization, evidence and refutation
"I really feel lost," Marg said. "I'm
not sure where to begin picking things
up ; so much of the information is secret
and undercover. How can you control a
topic like this?"
Last year, in Houston, Tex. the team
placed in the toy one third of the naton.
During the last tournament the team placed
first and Alie J 0 Moore took first
place as the top speaker. This year the
team hopes to place in a qualifier tournament.
If they win al their rounds they
will be able to go to the National Tournament
held in Missouri this year.
Homecoming activities for alumni
will begin Friday, October 8, with the
Centennial Banquet and continue
through Saturday evening's entertainment
for students and alumni in the
The Centennial Banquet, which is a
kick-off ot the weekend activities, also
officially marks the conclusion of Bethel's
centennial celebration. A festive
night at the new Radisson South near
Southdale is planned for the Centennial
Banquet. The 1971 Homecoming Queen
and her court will welcome the alumni.
Current progress reports will be presented
to update the guests, and student
testimonies will be heard.
Of special interest on Saturday's
schedule is the Forum luncheon, designed
as an open discussion with Dean
Virgil Olson and selected faculty and
administrators. According to John W.
Carlson, Director of Alumni Affairs,
this will be a "first" for Homecoming
activities. Alumni will be informed about
Bethel's current program, the direction
it is moving, and the most pressing issues
facing the campus right now. Alumni
will be encouraged to contribute suggestions
as to ways Bethel can sterngthen
and improve its program.
An evening of fun and relaxation in
the fieldhouse entitled "SPECTRUM"
will utilize talents of both faculty and
students in the conclusion of the Homecoming
. weekend.

Spiritual Emphasis Week
by Joey Healy
Spiritual Emphasis Week is all over,
but what of the impact? Or wasn't there
any? Reactions were widely varied; how
did you feel?
Pastor Maurice Lawson explains what
happened. "This is the third year that
we have had a group of people living
with us during Spiritual Emphasis Week.
The first year Lambert Dolphin brought
a team with him. We had considerable
concern that year because he was slow
getting the members, but it turned out
great, with solid Christian men of various
backgrounds. Last year, we chose
the membership of the team, and we
were all, I believe, quite pleased with
the people who came.
"This year, we asked Roger Fredrikson
to form a team and come to us, of
people who are involved with the Faithat-
work movement, in which he himself
has been a leader. One of our main purposes
in this week was to open lines
of communication between people and
with God. Their approach seemed to be
what we wanted.
"As it turned out, we had something
else develop. He was not able to pull
together the people he had anticipated.
And he, himself, was not able to stay
on campus through the week. To say
that I was distressed would be putting it
"We could not have the extensive
personal counseling appointment schedules
that we have had other . years. And
the chapel services were sometimes less
than dynamic. But I decided at the beginning
of the week that God would have
something for us, even though the media
would be different. And I think
others responded · in similar ways, and
received much help."
And some people were helped by the
week's events.
'Spiritual Emphasis Week was really
fine," says Sheryl Williams. "The speakers
were, I think, really down-to-earth.
I hope the unity Bethel has experienced
throughout this week won't become a
the week's meetings. I feel no climax
this year, just a joy in the unfathomable
potential of Christ's love. There have
been a lot of really heavy things for
us to think about and to act upon."
Mark Olsen adds that "last year's
Spiritual Emphasis Week was such a

thing of the past, just because those
people who initiated it have gone on
to other things."
Debi Walker points out that "what
really hit me was that people were willing
to come and share with us their
relationship with Christ."
Many individuals thought that the
Week was almost played down, and that
too few people really knew what was
going on. Yet, perhaps in a way this is
not so unfortunate.
Linda Larson explains it this way.
"Perhaps this wouldn't apply to the
whole campus, but I feel that this year's
Deeper Life Week wasn't quite as "exciting"
as the past two. It seems like the
climax of other years has been during
dramatic change that it caused confusion
later on in the year. But this year
it seemed to be more down-to-earth."
For some, the week was a disappointment.
"I agree that it was okay for the
people from Sioux Falls to share with
us the happiness in their lives because
they knew Jesus. But it didn't exactly
thrill me to go to chapel to hear that
they didn't even know why they were
there; and I don't think that holding
hands in a circle and saying a prayer
to the chair next to you is exactly a
challenge. The only challenge is to determine
who can squeeze who's hand the
"But," continues Steve Jergenson, "I
went back to the evening meeting Thurs-
Pastor Fredrikson of Sioux Falls headed up the Spiritual Emphasis Week program with a warm and friendly
day because I felt something worthwhile
was being presented."
Jill Harle also appreciated the evening
meetings. "I 'was really blessed by
the Monday night meeting. We sat in
groups of five or six, and shared and
prayed. It was great becoming better
friends with other Christians.
"The fellowship in our dorm with "the
Grandma' was good, too. She was a wonderful
Bob Pedersen "liked the approach of
having laymen rather than high-powered
evangelists coming to share Christ.
One thing that really hit me was a question
raised at Thursday evening's meeting:
what is our motivation? Do I do
things for Christ, or for self? I had to
stop and ask myself if I did such things
as going to the wing prayer meeting because
of Christ, or so that I would not
be thought of as being unspiritual."
Mark Howard adds that "it has been
good to hear about how the Lord has
been working in the lives of young and
And Bob Coombe thought "the speakers
were great for the simple reason
that they were real. They shared and
loved. The chapels were great because
of the people."
Pastor Lawson sums it up this way:
"The small group experiences in the
evenings were deeply meaningful to
many. AI! of the guests loved God and
were anxious to share. If Christianity is
common people sharing their experiences
with God, "breaking bread together,"
then we were on line last week.
"I thank God for the friends of all
ages who left school, home, and work
last week to be available for God's use."
So Spiritual Emphasis Week meant
different things to different people. Perhaps,
with more thorough planning, next
year can be great for everyone.

Do the dates October 13 and November
6 mean anything to you? They should,
because they are the key dates in a fall
program of anti-war activities promising
to be the largest ever.
The first important activity is the October
13 Moratorium, which will include
meetings, rallies, demonstrations, teachings,
and other activities in every city
and town across the nation calling for
an immediate withdrawal from Southeast
Asia. During the National Peace Action

At the Bethel College Board of Regents
meeting Friday, September 27, Violet
Bergquist, language educator at the University
of Illinois, became the first female
member of the Board of Regents
since 1949.
A petition noting the lack of female
representation on the board was circulated
in February, 1971, by Mrs. Margaret
Dewey and signed by 250 students,
faculty members, and alumni. The petition
was sent to the 1971 nominating
committee of the Baptist General Conference,
who nominated Miss Bergquist.
A graduate of Wheaton College and
the University of Chicago, Miss Bergquist
has studied or taught languages
at nine universities and colleges, including
Bethel. She is presently leading
a special senior seminar in Spanish at
the University of Illinois Chicago Circle
Commenting on "women's liberation,"
Miss Bergquist said, "I think of myself
as an educator and I don't think of women's
liberation as a cause I must serve.
I'm not that strong for women's liberation."
Miss Bergquist said she- was concerned
that Bethel keep a conservative, Christian
emphasis while upgrading and constantly
improving the quality of education.
"There is no limit to what could
be done in education and Bethel should
be in the lead, especially now in the days
of the 'Jesus movement'."
Nov. 6 Moratorium
others are urged to select a date for
activities showing their opposition to
the war. November 3rd is set as a student
"strike" when students are urged
to reach out to their surrounding communities.
The climax of these activities
occurs on November 6tll' when there will
be mass marches in about fifteen major
metropolitan centers including Minneapolis.
It is predicted that the march in
Minneapolis alone will draw a million
people from all walks of life, the largest
march ever in the Twin Cities.
The endorsements for the fall program
are unprecedented in the history
of the anti-war movement. In this area,
the local AFL-CIO, the Greater Metro-

Miss Bergquist said she was impressed
with the new curriculum and added,
"It permits more of a concern for life
and doesn't treat freshmen as immatur.
Commenting on her fellow board members,
Miss Bergquist said she was impressed
by their devotion and their expertise
in various fields, and added, "I
consider it a great privilege to serve
with them on the board."
The Board of Regents serves as a
liaison between the Baptist General
Conference and Bethel College and Seminary,
according to Miss Bergquist. The
board's approval is needed for the hiring
of faculty, curriculum changes, and
apportionment of funds for the various
college departments. Miss Bergquist
said she is kept in contact with events
at Bethel through correspondence from
President Lundquist's office.
Miss Bergquist is president of the
National Federation of Modern Language
Teacher's Association and a member of
the Board of Trustees for the Fridheim
Baptist Home for the Aged. She is also
a member of the Committee for Spanish
Evangelistic Radio Ministries, which is
sponsored by the Baptist General Conference.
politan Federation, the Minneapolis
Federation of Teachers, the BiPartisan
Caucus-Executive Committee, to mention
a few, have thrown their support behind
it and urge all those they represent to
take an active part. Political leaders
such as Gov. Wendell Anderson, Lt. Gov.
Rudy Perpich, and Congressmen Joseph
Karth and Donald Frazer have all urged
the public to participate. On September
10, the Minneapolis City Council passed
by an overwhelming majority of 11 to 2
a resolution designating November 6 as
Peace Action Day urging "that where
possible, our citizens and their representatives
participate in: the peace assemblies

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who hath made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him; bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting,
And His faithfulness to all generations.

Is the political system a neutral entity, where religious

Is Christian political life merely accepting the political

"OK" their political actions. On the right we have the Romans
13 advocates who use this as a "proof text" for "OK-ing"
the status quo; on the left we have Revelations 13 to "OK"
Could it be that both sides are missing the point?
Both sides presuppose that the ' system should serve man,
(the "right", those in power, the "left", those out of power).
Can the one whose life has been presented to God as a living
sacrifice in service agree to this?
I think not.
Christian politics is not a man-centered activity but an
effort to administer the world as a service of God Who is
sovereign in the world. The object of the Christian political
task is a witness, not winning at the polls. We are to stand
firmly proclaiming the name of the Lord before all the false
gods of this age that seek to direct the political aspect of
Does this mean that we "shove Jesus down everyone's
Not at all! We first try to bring out into the open that
there is no such thing as neutral politics. That all of one's
life is in service to a god (throughout the Old Testament the
question is never "Do you believe in God?" But rather "Which
god do you follow?") If we believe in this neutrality, where
no religious direction may enter in, we are left with a false
common denominator of Man's reasoning powers and a beatific
spirit - Humanism, which in all fairness must be recognized
as a religion, a value, a direction, and a world view.
Christians must show an alternative, a third way. Christians
must work toward having our country recognize once again
a true religious pluralism in society. This pluralism will allow
all the different value systems a voice not only in private,
but a representative voice in public.
Such action in education would manifest itself in the form
of "public support for all public schools." Once it is recognized
that the "public schools" today are really religiously
oriented by Humanism (man as the measure of all things) and
not "neutral" in respect to religion, we can put an end to the
discrimination against Christians, Jews, Catholics, Mormons
etc., who must support religious schools not of their belief.

Interim ~72 in Europe
by Brenda Barth
Interim 1972 at Bethel will mean European travel to some
150 students. These students, from the departments of music,
art, drama, and foreign languages, have a busy four weeks
ahead in Jam.lary. Organizers of the touring groups are Dr.
Robert Berglund, director of the college choir; Dale Rott,
professor of speech; Eugene Johnson of the art department;
and Heidi Waitschies, instructor of German.
This is a humanities tour sponsored by the college choir.
The students will receive one class credit for the art, drama,
or German culture studies. Credit for college choir members
will be in coordination with all three.
Each of the groups has a definite area of study or performance
which will absorb most of the time overseas. There
will be, however, time for interaction among the students
in the different divisions.
"Hopefully we will have a two or three day retreat together
in Zurich, Switzerland, toward the end of the tour.
There will be some sort of recreation, probably skiing, and a
spiritual emphasis," Miss Waitschies said.
President Lundquist will be on the tour and will contribute
to this special feature.
She added, "The groups will overlap somewhat in their
areas of interest so we will have some time with each of the
other groups."
Interim: Europe is open to any Bethel student, alumnus,
or affiliated friend, who is interested. Openings are
available in art, drama, and German groups. Those in charge,
Robert Berglund, Heidi Waitschies, Eugene Johnson, and Dale
Rott, welcome inquiries.
The countries to be toured from December 30 -
January 29 are East and West Germany, Switzerland, Holland,
England, Wales, Austria, and the art tour will also
visit France.
The 70 college choir members will be presenting 15-18
concerts in cathedrals arrd concert halls.
"We have discovered that because interest in the
literate arts is so high in Europe, they are responsive to the
kind of experience our choir provides its listeners," Dr. Berglund,
director of the choir, has stated.
The idea of a European tour originated with this group
which has enjoyed other overseas tours. The concerts which
will be presented largely consist of music performed last
The art, drama, and German groups will each have about
20 students. Each will study its respective area of interest
in Europe.
"There is value merely in being exposed to the people
of a foreign country," said Mr. Jonnson. "The value of this
trip as an art tour far exceeds viewing museums in each
country. Museums which we'll be touring contain world art
collections." -
First hand experience with original works plus the visiting
of art galleries and museums is what's in store for interested
art students. The group accompanying Miss Waitschies
through her native country of Germany will see castles, operas,
and theatrical productions. Passing through big cities and
small towns is on their schedule as well.
"Unlike the other groups, mine will be doing everything
and anything. We have no concentrated area of study," Miss
Waitschies commented. "We'll be going shopping, visiting
with people in homes, schools, and factories. I want us to see
everything. There is no language requirement because one
can benefit even from being in Germany and seeing what it's
Twenty thespians under the direction of Dale Rott will
perform at the military bases in several countries. "Adamann,"
an original dramatic work which symbolically depicts the
struggle of man to serve himself or God, shows what Christianity
is all about.
"There are few drama groups which perform in English
in Europe. Music can communicate over the language barrier;
the USO sends musicians over to the armed service bases. But
drama is something new. We will be working with the Chaplains'
programs. This is something no other Christian college
has tried yet - a new mission field," Mr. Rott explained.
The group will also visit theater museums in England and
Germany, the place of the Passion Play, libraries dedicated to
theaters, and monastaries.
-The price, for 'each person, is $595. This includes round
trip ticket, transportation, housing, and meals.
"This can be a fantastic tour, if, for nothing else, the interaction
the kids will have," Mr. Rott commented.
Yet there is hope for more - that to many Europeans a
fresh image of American youth will be presented - that of
Bethel students representing Christ.

Missionary Proiect
by Louise Laakso
Conducting services in parks, constructing
a building on a summer camp,
and working with inner-city children
were among the activities in which
Bethel's 21 student missionaries participated
in this summer.
The 21 were sent out by the Student
Missionary Project which is sponsored
by the Bethel student body. The SMP
is supported by chapel offerings and
gifts received in the deposit box by the
banking windows.
Among those sent were Jon Lewis
and Joel Goff. Working with Greater
European Missions, they spent three
weeks in France. There they did construction
work on a new dining hall
at a summer camp, 50 miles east of
Grenoble in the Alps.
From there they went to Portugal
for three weeks. In Lisbon they sang
and spoke almost every night. They also
helped for three days at a youth camp.
Speaking of their experience, Joel
said, "It made me realize how hard it
is for Americans to reach people in
other countries for Christ, and how
easy it must be for missionaries to get
depressed. It taught me a lot of patience."
In Colombia, Becky Waller worked
with children in a Spanish Bi·ble school.
She also taught a teen-age class in an
English Bible school, counselled at
Colombian junior and senior high camps,
and provided special music for churches.
At the Pan Am games she sold Bibles,
talked with people, and distributed

27 others living in sorority houses on
the University of Utah. Their group,
through a door-to-door ministry, reached
over 9,000 homes, and, at Pioneer Day
in Salt Lake City, distributed approximately
15,000 tracts. They also passed
out tracts at a Mormon convention in
the city.
This group conducted services in the
parks, too. During one of these, four
people prayed in a circle around a Satan
worshipper. Pete said through their
prayers they cast Satan out of her,
changed her tears to laughter. She then
went home and burned all her Satanic

said Pete, "what it means to give yourself

in an Italian-Jewish district of Brooklyn.
In connection with the Dean Street
Church, they witnessed to people on
the streets of a ghetto area. Their main
objective was to set up home Bible studies.

A true test of loyalty to our campus
radio station has been given to the student
body. Some failed the test, others
passed. All that was needed to pass was
an exchange of a mere 40c for a Bethel
Booster Button. The results of the test
will be felt by all. How much we contribute
to the radio station fund will
determine how many away basketball
games we hear.
The expenses of broadcasting these
six games are much greater than the
average student would expect them to
be. Involved in the cost are: a nine dollar
per hour rental fee plus installation of
a telephone line; new mikes and other
equipment; and the food, lodging, and
transportation costs of the two radio announcers,
Ron Troxel and Rich Zaderaka.
Altogether, the profit needed from the
Booster Button Sales amounts to $400.
This does not include the $200 cost of
having the buttons made.
The radio station is planning a film
festival to raise additional funds for
broadcasting the games. It will take place
Friday, October 22, and will feature
Laurel & Hardy films, The Little Rascals,
and all the old time favorites - an evening
of pure nostalgia.
Just in case these efforts fail, the radio
station is prepared to sell some extra
advertising time and appeal to the Student
Senate for extra funds.

The Bethel Royals' usually potent passing
game was effectively neutralized
by Northland last week in a 28-0 loss.
Bethel's three quarterbacks could only
total five completions in 17 attempts for
37 yards with three interceptions. Each
team fumbled six times, but Northland
made 344 total yards to 155 for Bethel,
to control the ball and make the difference
in the game. Junior linebacker
Perry Johnson made 12 tackles to lead
the defense as the Royals gave up one
touchdown each quarter.
Against Sioux Falls, the Royals suffered
a poor first half and found themselves
behind 8-0 at halftime. Defensive
end Ralph Gustafson said that at halftime,
the team realized "we were going
to have to really earn this one if we
wanted to win. We lost any overconfidence
we might have had in the first
At halftime, Coach Reynolds diagramed
some plays he thought would work
against Sioux Falls' defense.
Apparently, the halftime talk worked
because the Royals came on to score
three touchdowns in the third quarter
and another in the fourth to win 28-14.
Mark Wood, sophomore halfback, scored
two long touchdown runs and made
. two 2-point conversions to ignite the
Royals' attack.
Wood's first touchdown came on a
72-yard punt return, and his second on
an 80-yard run from scrimmage on a
play that Coach Reynolds had diagramed
during halftime. Two touchdown pas:..
ses from Dave Pearson to Steve Conklin
completed Bethel's scoring.

College tomorrow in a non-conference

Next Saturday, the Royals face the

game at Midway Stadium at 1:30 p.m.
The Concordia game will be Bethel's
second conference contest.
Under the leadership of captaincoaches
Steve Voth and Ray Smith, the
soccer club will play in the Platteville
Tournament next Friday and Saturday,
Oct. 8 and 9.
The team has suffered many frustrations
this year, and Voth said it has
been very discouraging at times. Since
the club is not officially sponsored by
the school, each member of the club
paid $10 to meet the club's finances.
Other difficulties are caused by not
having a regular field to play on, and
a lack of support from students, faculty,
and administration.
"We would really appreciate any support
we could get from the students,"
Voth said.
Voth and Smith have tried to make
the team offense minded with the emphasis
on ball control.
"We are trying to play the South
American style," he explained.
Peter Genheimer and Voth .are the
two top scorers for the club.
Voth commented that the team is
better than last year's which upset
powerful Purdue University 4-l.
This year's club faces a Big 10 school
- Northwestern - in the first game
of the Platteville Tournament, taking
place during Bethel's Homecoming weekend.
Other teams competing in the tournament
with Bethel and Northwestern are
Knox College and Platteville State.
In its first three contests, the club
beat Hamline 7-2 and Carleton 2-1 while
losing to Macalester 4-3.
Tomorrow morning at 11, Bethel's
cross country team will run against the
Hamline Pipers at Como Park.
Freshman Steve Whittaker and junior
Mark Anderson have led Bethel's runners
in the two meets so far this year.
Whittaker finished second and Anderson
third in the Royals' first meet of
the year against Southwest State College.
The team, however, lost 23-41, as the
rest of the Royals finished between 10th
and 20th.
Bethel placed third behind Bemidji
State College and the University of Minnesota
at Duluth last Saturday. Whittaker
placed fourth and Anderson sixth.

The Hot Corner
by Rich Zaderaka
Although no one could deny that the Bethel football team
was far from being in top form last Saturday, it would certainly
be a mistake to write off the rest of the season because of
one game. Northland has a very good football team this year.
But I can't believe that they're 28 points better than Bethel
is. I doubt if there are many others who believe it either.
Physically the Lumberjacks were much bigger than the
Royals, but then so was Hamline, only a 14 point victor over
Bethel. So the problem is evidently in another area.
Bethel made a lot of fundamental mistakeS', both in defensive
and offensive execution. The offense committed seven
turnovers, on four fumbles and three interceptions.
The outcome could have been a result of the long bus
trip up, overconfidence - an attitude problem - or a number
of other things.
At any rate, I hope the team gives the kind of effort they're
capable of giving against River Falls and some of the up��coming
opponents, because none of the future games will be
easy wins.
* * :;: *
The biggest surprise of the professional football season so
far was the 20-17 victory by the Chicago Bears over Minnesota
last Sunday. The Bear defense did a great job, particularly
in the fourth quarter and held the Vikes to 17 points. But
the offense, which Viking announcer Paul Hornung has described
at pathetic, put 20 points on the board against a highly
touted Minnesota defense.
Despite their win, Chicago is not considered a threat to win
the Central Division. However, I'll cross my fingers and root
against the Vikings.

At more than a few Twin's games this summer manager
Bill Rigney went to the mound to remove his starting
pitcher. On one particular occasion relievers Ron
Perranowski and Hal Haydel had been warming up. Rigney
chose to bring in Haydel, prompting a certain fan to remark,
"I guess the Twin's pitching coach told Rigney to go to Hal."
