However under Monitor --> Server State in the ISPConfig3 screen it shows a problem or two.... clicking through it shows this: Web-Server: Offline FTP-Server: Online SMTP-Server: Offline POP3-Server: Offline IMAP-Server: Offline DNS-Server: Online mySQL-Server: Offline Yes all these services are installed and yes they are actually all working - kinda obvious the web and mysql ones are else I wouldn't even get to the ISPConfig web panel.... Looking at .../lib/classes/monitor_tools.inc.php - which is where I think these things are derived, it appears all the monitor is doing is checking the port of each service to see if it's up. So why is it not working on some of these services? Any ideas? This is debian wheezy btw, but checking ports, that shouldn't make a difference.

What is the difference between Geluk Prasangika and other schools, from your point of view?Tsongkhapafan wrote: From the Prasagika point of view of Tsongkhapa's school It's not in question that an apple exists because it's appearing to a valid mind (we find the apple where we see it on the table, and it performs the function of an apple) but the question is more HOW the apple exists. For Tsongkhapa the purpose of Madhyamaka is not to deny existence but to deny inherent existence, although there is also a lot of disagreement about this between the different Buddhist schools. The apple exists but not outside the mind. Its appearance and functionality is like a wave arising from the ocean of the root mind. Conventionally it appears, but ultimately it can't be found.
Hi Kevin,
My understanding is that the Prasangikas who follow Gorampa completely deny the validity of conventional truth. For them, conventional truths are completely false objects appearing to an ignorant mind, so when you become enlightened, you do not perceive conventional truths. Tsongkhapa teaches that conventional and ultimate truths are mutually supportive and equally valid (albeit that conventional truths incorrectly appear as inherently existent to non-Buddhas) and that Buddhas realize the union of conventional and ultimate truth simultaneously.

Robert Lancaster observes Sylvia Browne first-hand
What I found most interesting about his account of the show was his description of his conversations with other attendees after it was over. Browne's alleged psychic powers were apparently failing her at this event.
UPDATE (July 12, 2008): Sylvia Browne's shows at the Excalibur, originally scheduled to run through August, have been cancelled. Due to unforeseen circumstances, no doubt.

The recession is a big contributor, Preston says, as travel expenses are often the first thing to be cut when times get tight  but companies still need to communicate with employees, partners, and customers across long distances.
But new equipment and standards are also important. Newer products now offer DVD-quality video (not full HD, but still better than desktop video) for as little as $3,000. Polycom says the lost-packet-recovery technology in its QDX 6000, for example, removes the jerkiness and artifacts that can be more disruptive to the videoconferencing experience than lack of resolution.
Videoconferencing is also getting easier to use, with easier interfaces and no requirements for a managed network for conferences with up to 10-15 systems. Bridging technology  not much more complicated than whats used to set up a telephone conference call  can make starting a videoconference pretty much automatic. Thats true even for multi-location conferences, where the various participants are tiled onto the screen at the same time  like the opening credits from The Brady Bunch. And new technology can make these multipoint conferences easier to follow, for example by automatically expanded the tile of whoever is speaking so participants can follow more easily.
An early version of a multipoint video conference?
But in my opinion, the biggest deal in videoconferencing for SMBs is interoperability, and Preston cites progress there as well. He says the H.323 industry standard allows videoconferencing systems from multiple vendors to work together, but he acknowledges that the process is not yet seamless -- despite the fact that some 2 million H.3232-compliant videoconferencing systems have been sold. Were headed in that direction, Preston says, but corporate firewalls, for example, still often stymie attempts to connect to multi-vendor videoconferences without prior arrangements.
While large companies can often find good ROI with just internal videoconferencing networks, or in conferences with key ongoing clients, for SMBs the key is to be able to set up connections with the widest possible network of customers and suppliers. Clearly, progress is being made in this regard, but just as clearly theres still a long way to go.
Preston says Polycoms goal is to solve those issues to let SMBs be as quick and nimble and efficient as possible  to replicate the telepresence experience at a much lower price point. And he cites examples of SMBs that are already getting benefits out of videoconferencing. Mustang Cat, a Texas-based reseller of Catepillar tractors with some 400 employees, faced cancellation of its corporate health insurance policy after several employees passed away within a relatively short period of time. The company brought in an in-house telemedicine clinic, which put the firm in a difference risk category and allowed the firm to get health insurance for its employees.
For now, it's novel uses like that will likely drive videoconferencing into small and midsize businesses. As the technology gets better, cheaper, and more interoperable, though, look for videoconferencing to become an everyday part of the SMB technology toolkit.

Autre Monde: Outstanding restaurant
If you traveled to Berwyn to dine, it's likely you were in search of Czech dumplings or tacos. But the July opening of Autre Monde Cafe and Spirits gave west suburbanites a very different sort of dining destination. A sophisticated but accessible Mediterranean restaurant whose menu follows the globe-trotting curricula vitae of chef/couple Dan Pancake and Beth Partridge, Autre Monde offers a Spanish charcuterie board, flatbread pizzas, pasta options and a robust grilled pork porterhouse that any carnivore would be proud to see before him. The place stays open pretty late and, even better news, launches Saturday and Sunday brunch service this weekend. Autre Monde owners Christine Tully Aranza and John Aranza worked with Pancake and Partridge at Spiaggia, and we can raise a thankful glass -- perhaps a Croatian wine, part of John Aranza's eclectic list -- that these two couples decided to make it a foursome. 6727 W. Roosevelt Road, Berwyn; 708-775-8122 -- Phil Vettel

Keeping records for a nonprofit organization is very important. And there is no end to the records that should be kept.
Most boards should have a retention policy that outlines what information to keep forever, and what to discard after a prescribed amount of time.
One of the forever items is minutes. This is the eyewitness history of any organization. Each filed minutes of a meeting include the date of the meeting, attendees at the gathering and records of all actions taken. Minutes should include excused absences — "my husband broke his leg" — and also unexcused absences, as in, she just didn't show for the meeting.
Should attendance of a member come into question, the minutes are the corporation's word on who was there on that day.
The minutes should report a motion, explicit wording of the motion, that it was moved and seconded. Should the names of those moving the action be recorded? In my opinion, routine actions — approving the minutes of the previous meeting, the treasurer's report — don't need a name attached. When a motion comes from a committee chair, the chair's name will be part of the report, as in Igor, chair of the ad hoc committee on dungeons, moved as a recommendation of the committee that...
The stuff that makes history, the actions that move the agency in a new direction should be in the official minutes. Not every argument needs to be reported — that the discussion occurred, that the motion carried or failed is important. In addition to action, include reference to all reports given or submitted in writing.
However, when a board gets into a discussion that will have long-term effect on the future of the agency, take names. Sometimes, after a profound discussion, members may choose to bring the item back for discussion at the next meeting. It is important that those who discussed and voted on the issue at the last meeting be present.
In some very important discussions, the board may want a roll call vote. If that is done, include the members names with their vote.
The agenda is a great outline for the secretary to use when preparing the minutes. It's a great tool for the chair to use to keep the discussion on track. It organizes the meeting to make certain all items of importance are considered.
The minutes of the previous meeting help organize the next agenda. For example, the minutes may state that the committee will visit the ex-treasurer in jail and report back at the June meeting. The June meeting agenda should have a place for that report — and I bet everyone attends the meeting to get the update.
Speaking of the treasurer, it is also important to have the minutes reflect that the treasurer's report was accepted. This is proof to everyone reviewing the minutes that the board has seen the status of the finances and that board members are receiving the information. If said board member isn't reviewing the report, that's not the treasurer's fault.
What should not be in the minutes? Anything that is personal — like the president asked the treasurer to help plan a baby shower for her niece, or the finance committee chair complained about his allergies — should be ignored.
Also, it is not necessary to include verbatim any report that has been submitted in writing. Reference the report and file it with the official copy of the minutes. The minutes should just reflect that the report was submitted.
And what if the minutes are incorrect? Every member has the opportunity to read the minutes, usually at the next meeting, and offer corrections. When the minutes are corrected, the secretary corrects the original set, marks them approved and files them. Say they were approved as corrected.
These days, most agencies deal electronically with a board packet — the minutes to be approved, a treasurer's report, other reports and an agenda all may arrive days before the meeting. Of course, that means that all boards members read the information beforehand. Meetings move very quickly when the information is in everyone's hands in advance.
One final piece of advice to all secretaries — get the minutes done as soon as possible after the meeting. No matter how clear your notes, or that you are a techie typing the notes into your laptop, as time passes, the sense of the notes lose out as memory fades. Minutes are too important.
Wait a minute
Keeping records for a nonprofit organization is very important. And there is no end to the records that should be kept.

Tigers Fourth After First Round at PGA Minority Championships
Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee State men's golf team opened play at the 27th annual PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship with a fourth-best, first round 9-over. The Par-72, 6,840-yard Wanamaker Course at the PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Fla., played under ideal scoring conditions, mostly sunny skies and 85 degrees.
TSU is 14 strokes behind team leaders Bethune-Cookman who shot a 5-under, 283. Savannah State is in second after the first day at 5-over, 293, while defending champions, Texas-Pan American, shot a 6-over, 294.
The Tigers started the day on the back-nine as Andrew Warner was the third Tiger to tee off. Warner opened the day with three pars before dropping two strokes with bogeys on the next two holes. After a par on 15, Warner carded a birdie on the par-5, 16th to get back to 1-over before making the turn. The junior would record four straight pars before a bogey on three dropped him, once again, to 2-over. Warner would move back to even on the day as he notched birdies on the par-3, 6th and the par-4, 9th. Warner led the Tigers on day one with an even par, 72 by dropping three birdies and 12 pars.
Cameron Scitern, Codie Welborn, and James Stepp each signed their cards with 3-over, 75's. Scitern and Welborn each dropped a pair of birdies and 11 pars, while Stepp made 13 pars and one birdie.
Scitern opened the day with back-to-back bogeys before notching five straight pars. The senior dropped another stroke on 17 and turned to the first hole at 3-over. Scitern was at 5-over after losing a stroke on the second and third before he could get things going on the day. A birdie on the par-3, 4th and the par-4, 8th brought him back to his final score for the round.
Welborn dropped a stroke right out of the gate, but was able to get it back with a birdie on the par-4, 12th. Like his senior teammate, Welborn used a birdie on eight to secure his 3-over for the day.
Stepp had a similar beginning to his fellow Tigers as he found himself at 2-over after the first four holes. The sophomore would play steady over the last 14 holes and picked up a stroke with a birdie on the par-5, 7th.
The non-counting score for the Tigers was an 8-over, 80 by Dallas Hill. Despite his struggles over the first 18-holes, Hill tied Warner with the most amount of birdies, three, on the day.
The second round will begin at 7:30 am on Saturday morning.

"You guys are on a rocketship to the moon," comedy-show host Stephen Colbert recently told his guests, Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. Carney was stunned into silence, Auerbach laughed. For the boyhood friends from Akron, Ohio, it was a surreal punctuation point to a decade-long rise out of Midwestern obscurity into an international arena act.
"Colbert was telling us beforehand just to be ourselves," Auerbach says. " 'Don't try to be funny. You'll never be funnier than my character.' But it was still pretty overwhelming. Pat was so nervous he couldn't even speak. Our first on-air TV interview was Colbert – that's just not fair, really."
If not quite a "rocketship to the moon," the Black Keys' career has certainly hit a new gear in recent years. Carney and Auerbach were packing large clubs and small theaters even before they had a song in regular rotation on commercial radio. After their single "Tighten Up" broke through in 2010, they've doubled their touring audience and are headlining arenas in America for the first time, including a Monday date at the United Center. Auerbach isn't apologizing for graduating from the clubs into a realm where some of the band's original fans might have trouble recognizing them.
"You get to bring your own sound system when you play an arena, all the lights and visual stuff, which I think is really cool," he says. "There's something about those old arenas, where it feels larger than life. It's like walking into a (big-league) baseball or basketball game, it's on a different level, and I love that."
He remembers vividly his first arena show as a teen. "It was the Grateful Dead at Richfield Coliseum (outside Cleveland) and I had no idea what was going on. I didn't know about drugs, the whole culture, the Deadhead thing -- my eyes were wide open for four hours."
When he and Carney started playing music together, they had no aspirations to get popular enough to ever play an arena, let alone get played on commercial radio.
"We were so far removed from the music and entertainment industry," Auerbach says. "The idea of making something 'catchy' enough was just not in our vocabulary. We were just trying to please ourselves. We'd make 10 or 12 songs, put them together and there's an album. It gave us a reason to go out and play more shows."
For their 2010 album, "Brothers," their attitude changed, in large part due to the influence of producer, Brian Burton, a k a Danger Mouse, with whom they recorded their breakthrough hit, "Tighten Up."
"Before 'Brothers' we were playing to 15,000 people in New York City, we'd built ourselves up as big as you could without having a radio hit," Auerbach says. "So the next logical step was to push ourselves to see if we could write a catchy song, and we did. And we did it without compromising."
On the band's seventh and latest studio album, "El Camino" (Nonesuch), Auerbach and Carney tightened their relationship with Burton, bringing the producer into the songwriting process. It was a major departure for the duo, who had previously kept the songwriting completely in-house.
"It was difficult at times," Auerbach says. "Some days it worked great. Some days it was just infuriating. You gotta lose any kind of insecurity. It was a totally different way of thinking for me. This record was way more about melody and less about lyrical content. The lyrics had to fit into the little square we created for the melody. We didn't want to take a year making it, so I was coming up with lyrics that fit into the melody and doing it fast. For 'Brothers' (the band's previous album), all the lyrics were written ahead of time, It was more free flowing, not so strict on the melody side. This was a different challenge. In a way, it was like Motown: How many different ways can you say, 'Oh, baby, baby'? It was all about the catchiness of the tunes."
Auerbach says he's not concerned if some fans miss the looser, more expansive sound of the band's earlier albums.
"I never gave a (expletive) about solos," he says. "Guitar solos bore the hell out of me. Only a few guitarists interest me, and it's not about the solos they play, it's about the grooves they create. I'm really not worried about what fans think. We love them, but we don't make records for them."
Similarly, Auerbach explains, the band decided to license some of its music to television commercials and other media over the years regardless of any negative feedback they might receive from outsiders.
"We made money and become a bigger band" through licensing, Auerbach says. "It gave us the freedom to make more music. When we heard our songs on TV, we thought, 'This must be what it's like to have your song on the radio.' The shows were getting bigger for what seemed like no reason. But it was because of the licensing."
He and Carney were choosy about which products got their songs, the guitarist adds. "We turned down a bunch of stuff. We'll license to something that's not nauseating. The whole bad stigma attached to it is a very '90s thing, all that indie-rock bull. I'm not part of that world. Hip-hop guys license, R&B people, country people. It's just intellectuals, trust-fund babies who take issue with it."
Black Keys: 7:30 p.m. Monday at the United Center, 1901 W. Madison, $39, $49, $54, $59; ticketmaster.com.

If there are two things Ardmore native Earl Mann respects, it's loyalty and hard work. Through those two attributes, Mann has created a diamond amongst the rough in Ardmore with Earl Mann's Bug Shop.
If there are two things Ardmore native Earl Mann respects, it's loyalty and hard work. Through those two attributes, Mann has created a diamond amongst the rough in Ardmore with Earl Mann's Bug Shop.
Mann literally built the business in his backyard, starting with one little shed where he built his own projects. Fast forward 40 years, and Mann has Volkswagen restorations that have toured the world and appeared numerous times in national and international Volkswagen magazines, dubbing his creations "Mann-Made."
But his success boils down to those two attributes, and the history he has in the community.
In 1960, Mann was working as a mechanic at a Cadillac dealership, when he saw the first Volkswagen in Ardmore. Owner D.W. Hill bought the car, and later built a Volkswagen dealership, Hill Motor Company, where Mann would begin his lifelong journey into the world of VWs.
After a short stint of trying to get on a union job at Uniroyal, now Michelin, Mann got a job as a service manager at McCulloh MC for about a year, before moving over to Hill's VW dealership.
"Back then, auto shops weren't parts stores," Mann said. "If a car came in, a part had to be ordered and delivered, so you would have cars sitting in your stalls and on the lifts taking up space that weren't moving and weren't bringing in the money.
"Volkswagen was different. They were clean and you had to have the parts in stock, You could get it in, fix it and get it out quick, so you were making money quicker at the Volkswagen dealerships. That's how I got into Volkswagen."
In 1971, Mann began working part-time on the German-made cars in his backyard and built what would be the base for Earl Mann's Bug Shop.
"Once we got it built up and had enough business to make money, that became my job," Mann said.
For the next couple decades, Mann slowly built the business by adding a paint and body shop, adding a salvage element and bringing on his sons to work with him. The shop gained notoriety as a place where VW owners could bring their cars to have work done, without driving to Dallas or Oklahoma City. In the '90s, though, things changed drastically when some of Mann's VW creations gained national attention.
The magazine "Hot VW" featured a Volkswagen Bug owned by Dale Shick-Heath who touted the hard work and dedication he received from Mann on his project. In the years following, Mann received more praise for other projects appearing in the magazine, and had the "Mann-Made" phrase coined in the articles. But his biggest break came when he was contacted by Pepsi to build and paint six Mug Root Beer themed VW Bugs.
"That was when we really took off," he said. "After that, our business nearly doubled."
Mann's name is now associated with some of the top Volkswagen show cars in the country, including some that were built decades ago that still win first place at shows.
His secret — the details.
"We take pride in the product we produce. We make sure every bolt is tightened on the car before we send it out," Mann said. "We've got a really good rating with the products we produce."
But Mann's legacy isn't just within the cars he helped build, it's with the people associated with them.
Doctors, lawyers, business owners — these are just a few of the high-profile positions held by some of Mann's former employees, who have an average employment under him of nearly 25 years.
"Guys like Darryl Love, he worked for me for 25 five years, even before my sons came on to help me, before the business was big," Mann said. "And James Johnson, former Vo-Tech instructor, we worked together at McCulloh Cadillac, and he worked with me for a few years on and off when we were just starting out.
"Those guys are real special to me. They still call, want to know how we're doing, how my wife is doing."
The loyalty also stays close to home with Mann's son, Ricky, who has been at his father's side for the majority of the shop's existence.
"He's really put his heart and soul into the business, he's a hard worker like me, works six days a week and until the last job is done," Mann said. "He's got my blood for sure."
Mann's other sons, Steve and Jeff, also work at the shop, leaving the business that started from his shed, in the capable hands of the next generation.
However, Mann said there's still one component of the business that held it together through all of its existence.
"Without my wife, Sue, I think we might have gone crazy," he said. "She's been the rock of this whole thing, keeping us all together, sane. She really is the driving force behind this business.
She raised our five children all through this and held us together. That's why her name is on the business card too."
Earl Mann will celebrate his 74th birthday this week, dedicating more than half of it to the Bug Shop. In that time, he has built a name and a legacy for his family, quite literally from his backyard, and is happy with the way things have turned out and where they are headed.
"Ricky's just as hard working and dedicated as I am," he said. "When my wife and I give him the business, the customers, that have been so loyal to us, will feel safe knowing that Ricky will dedicate just as much to this business as we have in the past."

With a stunning collection of over 45 minutes of rare archive cine film, this programme chronicles the life of one of Britain's most famous local lines from its inception through its early years, passing at first 'illegally' to the L&SWR, then to the Southern Railway in 1923 and finally with British Railways through the post-war years to eventual closure in 1983.
Major highlights include cine film featuring the famous Beattie Well Tanks working goods trains on the Wenford Bridge Branch, shunting clay wagons at the 'Dries', plus sequences at Boscarne Junction and Wadebridge. Passenger services, steam and diesel, are captured between Bodmin North and Padstow, including the Boscarne Exchange Platform to Bodmin North railbus link introduced in 1964. Finally, special Brake Van excursion trains between Wadebridge and Wenford Bridge are seen winding their way up the densely wooded and beautiful Camel Valley.
With an indepth history of the railway, station survey, including the halts and 'wharves', plus some wonderful memories caught through the fond reminiscences of former railway staff and a 'then and now' sequence, the programme offers the definitive story of this railway line.

Are you tempted to create unique, clever descriptions for different areas of your site? If so, resist! Recently a friend reminded me of this rule when she asked me to critique her new restaurant's Web site. There were five pages:
I told her the page names were really smart, then I begged her to change them. Visitors have so little time, often just seconds, to make choices online. They need to instantly understand how to get what they want; and the more they have to think about how to navigate your site, the less they'll think about you and your products. Now the pages on my friend's site are:
It's not unique or clever, but it's clear enough that visitors don't have to think about where to go. So now they can focus on the important part--the business.

Product details

In 1996, WTAPS director Tetsu "TET" Nishiyama launched a brand that defined modern design and created a league of its own. Deeply rooted in a philosophy handed down from Japanese master craftsmen, WTAPS takes an approach to design that recognizes the essence of items that comprise the material world and realizes their hidden potential.

Two changes supposedly coming to the next version of Windows, according to veteran Paul Thurrott:
Metro apps running in windows on the desktop. As you can today with third-party utilities such as ModernMix, the next version of Windows will let users optionally run Metro apps in floating windows on the desktop.
Start menu. After bringing back the Start button in Windows 8.1, Microsoft will take the next logical step in the next Windows version and make the Start menu available as an option. It's possible this will appear only on those product versions that support the desktop.
This would be Microsoft admitting they got Windows 8 all wrong.

BETHEL INSTITUTE, St. Paul, Minnesota MAY 16, 1945
Frosh Complete Plans Quarter System Planned
For Friday Banquet For '45-46 Curriculum
The sophomore banquet will be

departing sophomores, and Earl
Trude, who is president of the
class of '45, will respond in behalf
of the graduates.
Eloise Jensen, chairman of the
decoration committee reports that
the arrangement of the chapel will
be of an oriental nature. A lively
program has been arranged by the
committee of Bob Daley, Warren
Anderson, Eddie Shimatsu, and
Virginia Peterson.
The admission price for fresh-man
students is sixty-five cents,
and for non-college attendants is
one dollar and seventy-five cents.
Complimentary tickets are to be
given to the sophomores and to
the faculty.
Peterson of Africa
To Speak Tonight
Tonight at Missionary Band
Charles Peterson, Jr., returned
missionary from Africa, will speak.
Mr. Peterson, whose home is in
Breckenridge, Minnesota, is a gra-duate
of the Moody Bible Institute.
He is serving under Mid-Missions.
Since 1939 Mr. Peterson has
been in French Equatorial Africa.
He worked among the "disc-lip-ped"
natives in the Tchad District
for about two years. He recently
returned to this country by plane.
An interesting program has been
arranged for this meeting, which
will be held in the seminary chapel
at 8 p. m.
Seminary Entertained
At Annual Banquet
Last night, May 15, in the First
Baptist Church of St. Paul, the
Middleman Class of the seminary
entertained one hundred students
and friends of Bethel Institute at
the annual Seminary Banquet.
Speaker of the evening was Rev.
Arley Bragg, radio preacher and
pastor of the Central Free Church
of St. Paul. The subject of his
message, "Anchors" was the theme
carried out through, the entire ban-quet.
Editor Peterson
Announces Spire
Nears Completion
Although any statement on the
publication of the Spire cannot be
considered as final, the forty-five
yearbook will in all probability be
in the hands of the students by the
first of June, editor Walfred Pet-erson
announces. The entire copy
is now being set by the printer,
the engraving is under way, and
the cover is nearing completion.
Final contracts for printing and
engraving were made last week by
Stuart McBirnie. The book is to
be printed at the Bruce Publish-ing
Company, which contracts for
annuals of many schools in the
Twin City area.
William Peterson, business man-ager,
declares that if sales of the
book continue, the edition will be
a financial success.

At a meeting of dormitory girls
Monday, May 14, President Wing-blade
announced that the priority
for the new wing on the girls dor-mitory
has been granted. Work
will begin very shortly and it is

dining hall for both men and wo-men,
and increased laundry and
telephone facilities. Says Presi-dent
Wingblade, "That for which
we have been praying and plan-ning
has at last been granted."
Graduates Honored
AtFormal Reception
On Thursday, May 10, the B. W.
A. met for the last time at a for-mal
reception held in the seminary
boarding club. Bethel woman stu-dents,
faculty, and faculty wives
were present and enjoyed to the
fullest the fine program prepared
for them.
The reception began at 5:30
p. m. with a Swedish Smorgasbord
provided by Mrs. Raier Olson, Mrs.
Mabel Nylof, Miss Alice Anderson,
and the kitchen crew. Blue and
yellow decorations added to the
Scandinavian theme. Violinists
Mary Lou Rademacher, Audrey
Skarp, and Lois Amstutz, accom-panied
by Ruth Rask at the piano,
furnished dinner music in trios,
duets, and solos.
An interesting program was
planned with Grace Swanson act-ing
as master of ,ceremonies. Rec-ognition
was given to the faculty
members, Mrs. Nylof, and Mrs. Ol-son,
corsages being presented to
them. Mrs. H. Johnson brought a
greeting from the school board
and from the Bethel Women's Fed-eration,
in which she expressed
the desire of these groups to sup-port
the B.W.A. organization.
The program, which centered
around the word "friendship", in-cluded
ten numbers.
There were testimonies from
each of the graduating seniors,
special musical numbers, and a
few short talks. The officers who
(Continued on page 4)
This progressive move will bring
about several changes. A number
of new courses will be offered, in-cluding
qualitative analysis, inter-mediate
Spanish, advanced speech,
freshman English (five credits per
quarter) , problems of philosophy,
ethics, logic, human geography,
world politics, modern social and
economic problems, genetics, and
Minnesota plant life.
The measure also makes it pos-sible
to earn credits in certain mu-sic
courses. Nine quarter-credits
per year are to be given for a
course in theory of music, and six
quarter-credits for a course in ap-preciation
of music. A student tak-ing
music lessons will be given
one credit per quarter.
Graduation requirements have
been somewhat altered by the new
setup. The total number of quar-ter-
credits necessary for gradua-tion
will be ninety-five. Physical
education will be required as for-merly,
but credits will be given in
that course as in other subjects.
Another change has been made in
regard to Bible Appreciation. A
student is no longer required to
elect Bible Appreciation, but will
instead complete six quarter-cred-its
of work in certain other Bible
subjects. These six credits are
transferrable to the University of
Minnesota for four and one-half
credits. (Previously the Universi-ty
had not accepted credits in Bi-ble

University Prexy
To Address Grads
"T echnica 1 Training, Not
Enough" will be the topic of Dr.
Walter C. Coffey, president of the
University of Minnesota, when he
addresses the graduates at the an-nual
commencement exercises at
the First Swedish Baptist Church
in Minneapolis, on Friday, June 1,
at 8:00 P. M.
On Friday morning the students
will gather for class day exercises
at 10:00 A. M., at which meeting
the valedictorians of the class
of '45, Gloria Anderson and Lily
Johnson, will speak. Numerous
awards will also be presented at
that time.
This year and in former years Bethel Institute has been operating
on a semester basis, but next fall the school will inaugurate a new sys-tem,
it was announced by Dean Emery A. Johnson. Under the new ar-rangement
there will be, in place of two semesters, three twelve-week
quarters, the first beginning in September, the second in December,
and the third in March. In place of semester credits earned, quarter-credits
will be given, all semester credits earned thus far being multi-plied
by one and one-half to change them to quarter-credits.

By PROF. C. E. CARLSON IN THE SERVICE
Spring has brought us a number of very interesting developments,
both on and off the campus. Outstanding among these are the San
Francisco Conference and Mr. Borgeson's "hot house" project, both of
which have received well-merited attention of Bethel observers.
In spite of some minor differences, these two spring developments
have a remarkable similarity. Both involve the germination of rather
small seeds and the nurturing of young sprouts into thriving, strong
plants. In both cases it is hoped that the heat of wasted energy will
stimulate rapid growth. What Mr. Borgeson is doing with vegetables
and flowers, the San Francisco delegates are trying to do with enter-national
The cabbage-allyssum-tomato effort seems to have received the
unanimous approval of our school population. Things such as these
have been raised before with success and with good results. That the
San Francisco "hotbed" should be viewed with more uncertainty, if not
suspicion, is altogether understandable. The seeds of international co-operation
and good will, an untested variety, are known to be weak. If
growth is achieved, the plants will at best grow slowly and bear fruit
in the more distant future. The desirability of the final product has
also been questioned.
The layman in the field is quite convinced that institutions which
produce international good will and cooperation do not exist, and cannot
be developed. Such fatalistic pessimism on the part of unimaginative
persons has greeted every innovator. We may expect that before long
some of these people will be telling us that it is unchristian, sinful,
and dangerous to try to amend God's order for the universe. To these,
rampant nationalism is likely to take on a halo in spite of the holocaust
into which it has thrown us.
The difficulty of nursing the weak little institutions into strong pro-ductive
plants is not to be minimized, and too rapid a development must
not be expected. Stettinius and Stassen are not dealing with twenty-one
day radish. Such political institutions as representative legislatures,
written laws, and standardized court proceedings, all of which are so
generally and favorably accepted now, grew up during many centuries
of experimentation. Even a small measure of success will make the
San Francisco delegates entitled to a fame similar to that of Luther
Burbank, but much greater.

"Out of the scabbard of the night
By God's hand drawn,
Flashes His shining sword of
And lo, the Dawn!"
A group of missionary children
one morning stood around a win-dow
in a small cabin overlooking
the plains and watched the sun
rise. The dark sky was at first
streaked with silver, the light
grew stronOer, the clouds were
flushed with orange and rose, and
then the rays shot out over the
plains and touched the edge of the
crags. Soon the flat unsloping ter-rain
was bathed in sunlight.
On the plains, the missionaries
were preaching the Gospel to peo-ple
who were steeped in the dark-ness
of superstition and sin. I re-member
the times we, during va-cation,
would go out with the mis-sionaries
and camp in the villages.
Once in one of these villages a
young man, a Sadhu or holy man,
was walking slowly down the
dusty road. His face was marked
with the symbols of his gods; he
carried a small Indian lamp and a
stick strung with little yellow
flowers; a musical instrument was
slung over his shoulder. Gopal,
the Sadhu or holy man, stopped
to listen as he heard the voice of
the Sahib, the missionary, speak-ing
to a crowd. He came closer.
He was well-versed in the Hindu
scriptures but he had never heard
anything like this before. The mis-sionary
was telling the people of
a God of love and a Man who had
died to save them from their sins.
He frowned. If the people listened
to this missionary he would lose
his disciples, the people who gave
him anything he demanded. Dur-ing
the next few years he violent-ly
persecuted the Christians, but
one day he himself was saved.
Now his musical talents and lead-ership
are used in the service of
God. Another soul that had groped
in darkness had found the Saviour
and to him, as to all who fear the
name of God, "the Sun of right-eousness
would one day rise with
healing in His wings." (Mal. 44:2)
Marine Phil Johnson's long-await-ed
return to Bethel's halls became
a reality last Sunday morning. I
was on my way down to breakfast
when Phil rushed up the stairs
and asked, "Have you got a buck
sixty-five? I have to pay the cab
In chapel on Monday Phil, whose
red hair was shorn in typical GI
exprssed his gratitude
for the strength he received from
attending a Christian school and
asked the prayers of those who re-main
here that his life in the ser-vice
might always be a reflection
of Christ. Phil "returns to the
wars" next Wednesday, departing
for Camp LeJuene, North Caro-lina.
Air Cadet Herbert MacDonald
also hit the TWin Cities last Sun-day,
arriving from Chapel Hill,
North Carolina where last week
he wrote sixteen final examina.-
tions. Although regretting the
dearth of Christian friendships in
the service (in the group of 165
men with whom he worked, four
were Christians), Air Cadet Mac-
Donald was glad for the opportuni-ties
he had to witness to his mates
about the saving grace of God.
Also a visitor to the Campus for
a few days last week was Yeoman
3/c Margaret Swanson of the
WAVES. "Mugs" is currently sta-tioned
at the Naval Air Station at
Jacksonville, Florida, but expects
to be sent overseas some time this

Army Air Forces writes from Vic-torville,
California, that he now

Congratulations are in order for
Cpl. Stanley Yamashita, better
known to Bethelites as Stan John-son,
who will be graduated from
the Army Intelligence School at
Fort Snelling next Saturday. Stan
will then enjoy a short furlough
before being sent to the west coast
for overseas service.
Ensign John Danielson is anoth-er
airman who enjoyed a short
leave recently. Enroute to a west
coast embarkation point, Johnny
stopped off at his alma mater last
week just in time to witness the
Bethel-Hamline game on May 7.
His jovial and corlial manner left
an indelible impression upon the
Bethel campus.
The United States Army receiv-ed
another Bethelite into its ranks
on May 10, as Stamford Widen
took the oath of allegiance. Stam
left two days later for Jefferson
Barracks, Missouri, where Uncle
Sam courteously provided him
with a new spring suit of kahki.
The cooperation of the Arian
Chorus, the Male Quartette, and
trumpeter, Bob Nelson resulted in
a most commendable concert on
Friday, May 4. The program was
sponsored by the sophomore class.
The Arian Chorus, under the
capable direction of Mr. Nels
Stjernstrom, won the complete ap-proval
of a large audience with
harmoniously blended and well se-lected
numbers. It was a fitting
close to the chorus' successful sea-son.
Negro spirituals were sung by
the Male Quartette with their us-ual
sparkle and zest.
Bob Nelson played the beautiful
"Holy City" and the brilliant
"Carnival of Venice" to round out
the evening of melody.
The Sophomore Class desires to
express its sincere thanks to all
of these musicians.

THE BETHEL CLARION Page 3
Bulber-Lytton has beautifully
phrased a question as follows:
"Who that has loved knows not
the tender tale
Which flowers reveal, when lips
are coy to tell?"
Few there are who are unaware
that flowers often speak meanings
that lie too deep for words. But
to the uninitiated there is such a
confusion of meanings that an at-tempt
briefly to catalogue some of
the more common flowers may not
be amiss. In, the listing that fol-lows
the name of the flower will
be followed by the meaning to be
conveyed for the recipient's inter-pretation:
Red roses—I love you
Yellow roses—I am jealous
Japanese roses—Hari-kiri would
look good on you
Narcissus—Next to me I like you
Honeysuckle—I'm afraid I'm get-ting
Morning glory--You look pretty
washed out by evening
Bachelor button—Will you tend to
my knitting?
Four o'clock—Meet me in the Cof-fee
Bleeding heart—An abnormal car-diac
Pansy—Can't you take it, sister?
Poppies—Just one dope after an-other
Moccasin flower—I'm hot on your
Baby's breath—Hurrah for Lister-ine
Jack-in-thePulpit—Could you live
on a pastor's salary?
Or one may mix two or more
varieties of flowers to convey his
sentiments. The foxglove, night-shade,
and snapdragon may be
combined to say, "Beware of hold-ing
hands after dark with a wolf."
The Lady's Slipper interspersed
with the cat-tail may indicate that
some talkative wench may yet put
her foot in it.
It is altogether proper to en-close
one's card with the gift of
flowers. A personal card and not
a business card should be used as
it is considered unromantic to ad-vertise
dog food or plumbing
equipment with the same message
as speaks of one's affections. One
may give expression to his esthetic
nature by penning an appropriate
verse on the card. The message
may be personalized by selecting
a familiar line of poetry and add-ing
an original line to speak the
feelings of one's heart, as follows:
"Ye living flowers that skirt the
eternal frost,"
Please tell the gal I'm late—my
collar button's lost.
It is sometimes hard to capture
such a beautiful sentiment but one
can always impress with one's po-etic
talent merely by taking care
that both lines end with words
that rhyme.
We took 'em down, the storm win-dows
Eric, the boys, and I.
We thought they'd been up for far
too long,
So we took 'em down with a will
and a song,
With a will and a hearty cry; a
Of "take 'em down, all of 'em
From Eric, the boys, and I.
Mishaps often occur to becloud
skies otherwise clear and blue.
Flowers dispel the gloom in ad-mirable
fashion. If you should step
on the formal of the lady of your
choice and she should fall in a
heap, send her a bouquet of cow-slips
with a bit of lovely verse.
Again use a familiar line of poetry
and add one of your own to put
across the message you desire to
convey. May I suggest something
as follows :
"This is the forest primeval,"
Please pardon last might's up-heaval.
Yes, fellows, romance can be
yours, so say it with flowers.
"Pin -Ups"
By Mary Lou Rademacher
Several of the fellows on our
baseball team were overjoyed to
have their pictures taken by some
of the feminine spectators at the
game with Hamline a week ago
Monday. Roland Gustafson debat-ed
a long time whether or not to
wear his mask. We helped him
decide—he wore it. Bob Nelson
held his bandaged hand up to the
Kodak. In spite of the fact that
it was cut nearly to the bone he
played a good (?) game. Clarence
Sahlin and Walter Eddy grinned
from one ear to the other when
asked for their pictures. Gene Ny-man
posed holding the bat for
proper effect. (Incidentally, Gene,
do you still want three dozen pic-tures
for your classmates?) And
we must not forget to mention Bill
Peterson who stood in front of the
camera with that typical moronic
look on his face. "Love Bird"
Forsline was so occupied with his
mate that he had no time to have
his picture taken. (Of course some
one has to keep score, too.)
On the whole the boys cooperat-ed
very well. We appreciate it,
but there is one thing we would
like to know. Were those of you
who were camera shy wise to the
fact that we had no film in the
We washed 'em down, the wide
windows down,
Eric, the boys, and I.
They'd been smutty from smoke
for far too long,

"The dorm was alive when I
crawled into bed,
And visions of Ankerberg danced
in my head."
My heart sort of went out to
poor Burt. He came home from
the lunch counter, opened the door
to his room, and was greeted by
four walls, no more, not even a
light bulb. Then began a scaven-ger
hunt that probed its searching
fingers into every nook and cran-ny
of the seen. The mattress was
found on the chapel roof, the
spring atop the stacks in the li-brary,
the dresser in the north-west
room, and other pieces of
furniture and articles of attire in
other places!
The same evening and the same
place formed the setting for anoth-er
festive event. The U.S.S. Mc-
Birnie, christened with a goodly
portion of prune juice, slid down
the ways into the inky (and I do
mean inky) waters of North End
Bay (the bathtub). Quite a few
launchings have been taking place
of late; such small craft as the

When in September '43, ..I entered Bethel's door,
Little did I realize the things that were in store.
And now' two years of Bethel days are drawing to an end.
It's almost time to say goodbye to every Bethel friend.
But with adieus, within the mind come many mem'ries too
Of all the Bethel family and the things they say and do.
First of all the dorm life comes quickly to my mind;
The many things that happened there will ne'er be left behind.
"Please, in bed by 11:00", is what the dorm rules say,
However, many Bethel girls propose a longer day.
With noise after 11:00 the gong would surely sound,
And always when this happened Phyllis Johnson could be found...
Jumping quickly out of bed, "Say, is morning here already?
I must hurry to the kitchen and prepare the noon spaghetti!"
And after Phyll had dressed and was looking half alive;
My, was she surprised to find 'twas 'leven forty-five!
Over in the college there are many mem'ries too,
The Coffee Shop, the P. 0. box, the things we didn't do.
Just at the moment Freshman Week is clear within my mind;
Things more merry than their stunts would sure be hard to find.
Hazelruth Quiggle greeted A. J. Wingblade with a grin,
"Are you also new at Bethel, or what year are you in?"
One day in chapel service in a rather lengthy prayer
Miss Nelson turned around and caught the eyes of a freshie there.
-And, why were your eyes open?" did the teasing freshie say,
To which Miss Nelson quickly answered we should "watch and pray".
And now that June is nearly here, farewells are close at hand,
I know that each of us can say that Bethel has been grand.
For Bethel is the House of God, we all know that is true,
For Christ at Bethel is the Head of what we say and do.
We've all made many cherished friends, and friends we all hold dear.
We graduates will miss them when we are no longer here.
As graduates we thank you all because you've played your part
oeing a friend, a special kind, for Christ is in your heart!

Chiefs Bow
To Pipers
In Ninth 1-0
By Frank Shindo
On Monday, May 7, in Norton
Field the Hamline Pipers nosed
out Bethel's Indians in the ninth
inning by a margin of 1-0. It was
the fourth game of the season for
the Chiefs, and they showed im-provements
both in the field and
at bat.
Chucker Bob Sandin of Bethel
allowed only three hits and struck
out eleven men, but occasionally
ran into trouble because of lack
of control. Hamline's Ryan also
allowed three hits, striking out
nine and walking two.
Bethel started with a bang and
had Gustafson and Eddy on second
and third with one out in the first
inning, but the rally did not pay
In the sixth frame Sandin got
into hot water as Hamline had
men on second and third with no-body
out. Lloyd Peterson relieved
the situation somewhat by pop-ping
to Sahlin. Rollie Seltz, who
formerly was short-stop with Ro-chester
of the International League
was then purposely passed filling
the bases, but Sandin got the next
two men on an infield fly and a
fly to left.
In the latter half of the ninth
Hamline again loaded the bases
with one out on a hit batsman,
Sandin's sixth pass, and an infield
single between third and short.
Stark fanned, but with the count
three and one on Third Baseman
Pat Gerahty, Sandin threw a
fourth wide one, and the winning
run was forced across the plate.

Augsburg Raps
Bethel Nine 7-4
By Roland Gustafson
On May 3, Bethel lost its second
baseball game of the '45 season
to .Augsburg College by a score of
7-4 on the Veteran's Hospital Field
in Minneapolis. Bethel started
Wes Lindblom on the mound and
Augsburg countered with North-felt.
It did not take the Indians
long to catch on to the left-hand-ed
slants of the Augie's hurler, and
they led in the third inning, 3-0.
However, during the' third with
the bases jammed with Bethelites,
Clair Strommen, Augsburg's star
pitcher, who is also the property
of the St. Louis Cardinals, was
sent to the mound, and the War-riors'
bats were effectively si-lenced.
In the fifth and sixth frames
Augsburg scored six runs and that
coupled with the one they had
scored in the fourth was enough
to win. Meanwhile Bethel remain-ed.
impotent at the plate, even
when Strommen left the hill and
Luke Gronseth came in to hurl for
the Augies. The Indians did threat-en
again in the ninth inning, but
the rally was nipped after one run
had crossed the plate. Lindblom
pitched well until he tired in the
sixth, when Bob Sandin took over.
Gustafson caught for Bethel and
led the hitting with two hits.

Essentially because of that accident last year. Pretty sad. Quite fond of Yellow & Green and they both had their moments on that record, especially the drummer. Baroness are carrying on though...
Genuinely really sad
Band produce the greatest album of their career and then that happened. Gotta feel really bad for the drummer & bassist. To finally reach the point where they realise they have to give up.TheSoundofBastards this'd this

Melbourne: Former Australian skipper Ian Chappell feels the national team`s captaincy has been devalued by the appointment of rookie George Bailey as Twenty20 skipper.
"Twenty20 might be the shortest form of the game and viewed as rock`n`roll cricket, but that`s no reason to start devaluing the Australian captaincy," Chappell said of Bailey who was appointed captain on debut.
"The sight of George Bailey receiving his Australian cap only moments before tossing the coin with MS Dhoni at the Olympic stadium might have been amusing to some, but not to me."
"Not since Handsome Dave Gregory flicked the florin as Australia`s captain in the first Test of 1887 has a debutant led the country. That`s because in 135 years Australian cricket has generally maintained a policy of picking the best 11 players and then nominating a leader," he added.
Chappell said Bailey would have struggled to make the playing XI had he not been the captain.
"...he is nearly 30 years of age and wasn`t able to force his way into an Australian side until he was appointed captain. Bailey isn`t in Australia`s best T20 team and with the World Cup being held in September, now is not the time to blood a captain who shouldn`t make that squad," he said.
Chappell said Bailey will have to earn the respect of his teammates as soon as possible to cement his position.
"Bailey replaced Cameron White as captain of the T20 side when the Victorian skipper was demoted because he couldn`t hold his place as a batsman."
"In a T20 side, the captain can hide in the middle-order and rarely be required to play an important role. However, sooner or later he has to win the respect of his team-mates as a person, a leader and, most importantly, as a player. If he doesn`t achieve the latter aim, his authority within the team is diminished," Chappell said.
Chappell said Bailey as captain would also work to the opposition`s advantage if he doesn`t earn his place in the team as a player.
"There`s also the accepted wisdom that a team`s performance can be compromised when the opposition undermines the captain`s playing credentials. Although this is harder to do in T20 cricket, especially with Bailey batting in the middle-order, eventually the failure to perform acceptably as a player will erode his confidence to lead authoritatively," he explained.
"If Australian cricket has stopped producing players who can establish their playing credentials before earning the captaincy, then the system is in need of a overhaul. To stay ahead of their rivals, Australia must keep producing captains chosen from the starting 11," he said.

NEW YORK — A man convicted of using digital-age tools to impersonate and malign his father's academic rivals on the ancient subject of the Dead Sea Scrolls was sentenced Monday to two months in jail after the state's highest court tossed out some of his convictions — and with them a widely used harassment law.
Raphael Golb, a literature scholar and now-disbarred lawyer, was re-sentenced on misdemeanor criminal impersonation and forgery charges that the Court of Appeals upheld, even as it nixed his felony identity-theft conviction and declared an aggravated harassment law unconstitutional.
Golb had been sentenced in 2010 to six months in jail but was free on bail during his appeal. He remains free at least until July 22, as a judge postponed his surrender date so he can ask courts to hold off his jail term while he appeals the case further.
The 54-year-old Golb was convicted of adopting aliases in derogatory emails and blog posts — including sending emails that seemed like confessions of plagiarism by one of his father's key adversaries in a scholarly debate over the scrolls' origin.
Golb told state Supreme Court Justice Laura Ward on Monday that he realized his online campaign was "inappropriate," but he had seen it as satire, not crime.
"I obviously should not have sent out deadpan emails in the names of other individuals," he said. "And I obviously will never do it again."
From the start, the case was a rarity. Claims of Internet impersonations seldom spur criminal trials, let alone trials that air an abstruse but vigorous scholarly dispute over ancient texts.
And with the high court's May ruling, Golb's case gained another distinction by striking down an aggravated harassment law that authorities saw as an important tool for pursuing domestic violence and other cases, but Golb called an intrusion on free-speech rights.
The state Legislature has since passed a revised version of the law that backers believe will pass muster with the courts.
Containing the earliest known versions of portions of the Hebrew Bible, the scrolls have enhanced scholars' understanding of the history of Judaism and the beginnings of Christianity since their discovery in caves in Israel, beginning in the 1940s.
Some researchers believe the texts were assembled by a sect known as the Essenes; others — including Golb's father, University of Chicago historian Norman Golb — say the writings were the work of a range of Jewish groups and communities.
Raphael Golb said his electronic barbs were intended to illuminate what he saw as important information about the debate.
But Manhattan Assistant District Attorney John Bandler called Golb's behavior a protracted, malicious effort "to impersonate others and destroy their careers."
Golb's lawyer, Ronald Kuby, argued that the aggravated harassment law turned criticism into a crime if the object of the complaint just felt irritated, but not endangered.
"You cannot arrest somebody for being annoying," Kuby said in a recent interview. "Unwanted communication is not a threat — it is merely unwanted communication."
The law had often been used as a basis for issuing a court order barring domestic violence suspects from continued contact with their alleged victim; more than 7,600 cases of second-degree aggravated harassment were pending statewide as of last month, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. He supported the Legislature's rewrite.

Rated 3 out of 5 by ANALI from Amazing fabric The fabric of all these wet look black neon pink tops is amazing. Very thick and firm fabric. I have ordered 3 different ones including this one. I ordered the foil keyhole cami but ran small. I wanted to order a size up afterwards but was sold out. Therefore I decided to order the cutout piping tee in a bigger size thinking it ran small also but it actually runs true to size and had to return it as well because it was too big on me. Then I finally ordered this one and also had to return it because I need more cleavage for this top. I looked to plain and made my shoulders looked chubby and I'm not heavyweight! I have the wet look bottoms that go with these tops (which ran big, but then ordered a smaller size and that one fit me fine) that's why I kept trying all these tops because I wanted it for my bottoms. I ended up ordering the seamless tank top in neon pink and looks amazing with the wet look bottoms. I love the fabric of these wet look tops but the sizing is not consistent and/or the different styles make it hard to order these online because you really need to try these tops on before finding the right one.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) was among the Republican lawmakers reiterating their criticism of the Obama administration's handling of the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi.
"Al Qaeda is not on the run, and is making a strong comeback all over the Middle East," McCain asserted on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday. McCain said the situation conflicts with the White House "narrative" of a diminished al Qaeda influence in the Middle East.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C,) voiced a similar sentiment on NBC's "Meet the Press:" "Isn't it kind of an odd reason to take al Qaeda out of the equation when the story they told helps the president enormously before the election?"
Former CIA Director David Petraeus told lawmakers in closed-door briefings on Friday that he told Congress in the days after the Sept. 11 attack that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans that there was "significant terrorist involvement," according to reports citing unnamed members of Congress who attended the briefing
U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice has recently come under fire initially saying the Benghazi attack was sparked by spontaneous protests, rather than a planned terrorist attack.
On Sunday, Graham said he blamed Obama more than anyone else, calling Rice, viewed as a top contender to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a "bit player here." Clinton has indicated she plans to leave her post early next year.
Top Democrats, however, defended Rice."To say that she has to be accountable because an intelligence agency didn't tell the whole story initially for reasons of national security is totally unfair," Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) told "Face the Nation."
Se. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) said Rice stuck to unclassified information after the attack, and was now being vilified for political purposes. "If it continues, it's going to set up once again a partisan divide in the House and Senate," Feinstein, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said.

His Vision Made Television (Nov, 1940)
His Vision Made Television
The True Story of a Boy Who Had a Big Idea and Followed It Through to Final Success
By ELLIOTT ARNOLD
HE only trouble with Philo T. Farnsworth's story is that it is out of time. It belongs to another day. It ought to be a hoary legend now and it's just twenty years old and still in the making.
It has everything the school teachers love —boyhood on a farm, the dreamy inventor, the years of struggle, success. It's the story of television and it all took place when folks whose names slip the mind for the moment did a lot of shouting about the frontiers being gone.
Farnsworth dreamed of television without moving parts when he was thirteen; a year later, still in high school, he invented some of the basic parts of electronic television. In 1927, when he was twenty, he took out his first patent, on an entire television system—not just one part—and Donald K. Lippincott, the radio engineer, called him "one of the ten greatest mathematical wizards of the day."
Today, at thirty-three, Farnsworth is vice president and general director of research of the Farnsworth Television & Radio Corp. Such organizations as American Telephone & Telegraph, Radio Corporation, and Philco have taken out licenses under Farnsworth patents. Foreign licensees include Baird Television, Ltd., of England; Fernseh Aktiengesellchaft of Berlin, and T. C. Reth-ers of Australia.
The story of Farnsworth, a painfully shy man, starts with his grandfather, the first Philo Taylor Farnsworth, who established the Mormon community of Beaver City, in Utah, under instructions of Brigham Young.
Philo's father settled a farm there, and Philo grew up on it. When he was six he played constantly, not with wagons or tin soldiers, but with a toy dynamo and a tiny electric motor. One day he rigged the dynamo to the wheel of his mother's sewing machine, generating enough electricity, while she sewed, to operate the motor. His mother hoped he would let it stay that way for a while, but the boy's interest was too feverish. He took the motor apart and put it together again.
When he was twelve the family moved by wagon train to Rigby, Idaho, and worked a ranch in the Snake River Valley. The place was the answer to a young inventor's prayer. It was littered with equipment, including a private light and power system, power-operated hay hoists, and harvesting devices that worked electrically.
The mechanical and electrical gadgets were total mysteries to all except Philo, who went for them with a wild shout of glee. He took everything apart and put it together again. He arrogated to himself the sole right to keep the equipment in repair, and it was no contested position, since no one else could do more than push the right button.
He had the equipment working so smoothly it got to be no fun at all. His family swears he deliberately put parts of it out of commission when things got dull, just so he could take them apart and fix it. His folks had been hoping maybe he would be an artist, and optimistically had been feeding him violin lessons. He turned out to be a pretty good player, but it never became more than a relaxation. He is a good violin player today and is an expert pianist.
When his folks got wise to the planned vandalism of the machinery on the farm they thought they would put an end to it. They gave him a new chore to keep him out of mischief—operation of the gigantic family washing machine. But they didn't know their son. Farnsworth became fed up with moving the handle back and forth and rigged up an electric motor, winding the intricate coils of the armature himself, and soon had a power-operated machine. He was not yet thirteen.
Farnsworth, a very modest man, does not offer any of this information with the intention of trying to limn the early life of a genius.
"The only significant thing in all this," he says, "is that it gave me a background at a very early age of the elements of electricity, and gave me an incentive to study electric physics and, through the medium of popular magazines, a knowledge that there was such a thing as television."
The boy read everything he could lay his hands on that dealt with television, as it was being planned then, and finally he asserted to all who would listen to him, that the research experts were barking up the wrong tree trying to develop a television system by mechanical means.
The major experimenters were using mechanical whirling disks to scan the image. Farnsworth declared that this would get them nowhere, for the simple reason that the transmission of a satisfactory image required scanning speeds greater than any whirling disk could reach and maintain.
Electrons, he said, moved with the speed of light itself, and they could do the job if properly harnessed and controlled. That conception is the basis of today's electronic television—television with no moving parts —and it emerged from the head of a boy who hadn't yet started to shave.
"I had a theme for research which continued through the years as a guiding light," he says, "or as a direction for research and development; namely, the elimination of all moving parts from television equipment.
"The idea I had fairly well established in 1921 when I was thirteen, so that the moment I discovered tools — out of textbooks I mean — which would enable television to be done without moving parts, the invention seemed almost simultaneous; as a matter of fact, simultaneous with the discovery that there was an electron and a photo-electric effect.
"In 1922, when I was a freshman in high school, I made my first big invention in television — and it consisted of a means of producing an electric counterpart of an optical image. At that time it was a daydream, a daydream only. I had no facilities for doing research. I had no money to buy equipment.
"All I had was access to a very modest school library, and my sum total of equipment for forming any definite practical idea as to the problem of television consisted of a static generator in the high-school physics laboratory, and an old Braun tube."
ONE of his high-school teachers, Justin Tolman, took a great interest in Farnsworth. The teacher and pupil used to hold long conversations on the molecular theory of matter, the structure and nature of electrons, and Einstein's theory of relativity. The teacher later said that young Farnsworth's discussion of the theory was the clearest and most concise he had ever heard.
One day after school Farnsworth started to draw on the blackboard. He worked for hours, correcting, erasing, and then he began to explain it to his teacher. It was his conception of an electronic television system.
The teacher studied for a long time, and then admitted it was beyond him. He gave the boy the most advanced textbooks on the subject he could think of, and told him to go on with his dreams.
Soon after the Farnsworth family moved to Provo, Utah, and young Farnsworth took some special courses in Brigham Young University. In 1924, at the age of eighteen, he had fully worked out the concepts of electronic television, essentially as it works today.
His father died and Farnsworth had to put aside his dreams for a while and go to work. He started a small radio shop—and, ironically, it failed. He got a job in the railroad yards.
At this point his luck changed, however. He met George Everson and Leslie Gorrell, two California business men. They listened to him for a while, and agreed to put up $8,000 and see what he could do. Farnsworth was sure his star was set now; he married a childhood sweetheart, Elma Gardner, and the couple moved to Hollywood.
Farnsworth turned the living room of his home into a laboratory. At one time the neighbors got suspicious of the strange young man and the packages he was carrying into his home and the sound of motors operating inside. This was during prohibition, and they were sure he was operating a still. They notified the police and the place was Taided. The inventor, eyes blinking, finally convinced the police no liquor was being manufactured on the premises.
Money frequently ran low, and between problems Farnsworth had to beg his backers for more. In 1927 he had something to show for his work—his first patent, the one on the whole system of electronic television.
At one of the early demonstrations Farnsworth was asked by a banker whether he "saw any dollars in that pickup tube yet." Farnsworth answered by televising a dollar sign painted on a sheet of glass. The banker laughed and coughed up more money.
In 1928 Farnsworth gave a demonstration for the press in San Francisco and drew international attention to himself. Three years later he entered into an agreement with a large radio-set manufacturer, under which his research staff and much of his equipment were moved to Philadelphia.
At the end of that period he established his own laboratory there and carried on research until 1939. Then the plants were moved to Fort Wayne, Ind.
Farnsworth is the father of two boys, Philo, Jr., ten, and Russell Seymour, four. They live near Fort Wayne. Music is the chief interest in their home and Farnsworth has started to study counterpoint and theory.
He is a heavy cigarette smoker and a big-time eater. He is a good shot and a fanatic at auto driving. He races his car up and down the countryside when stumped at the plant.a

Advantages of Titanium
Titanium is an excellent material for curved barbells. It is an elemental metal so it doesn't contain harmful alloys or other additions. It makes this material super-safe so it can be used for new piercings in healing. Also, titanium is smooth and durable so it produces excellent jewelry pieces.
What Are Internally Threaded Titanium Barbells?
Internally threaded curved barbells are those barbells that have a ball with a threaded post. The body of the barbell is smooth so it is easy and comfortable to insert the barbell into your piercing. Internally threaded barbells are generally safer than the externally threaded ones.
Colors (Anodization)
Titanium jewelry can be anodized to produce different colors. These colors are achieved without the use of any dyes or chemicals. It means that colorful titanium barbells are completely safe, even to people with allergies.
