Mark Zuckerberg, founder and chief executive of The Facebook social networking site that has more than half a billion users, was named Time magazine's 2010 Person of the Year on Wednesday.
Time defines the Person of the Year as the person who, for better or for worse, does the most to influence the events of the year.

"This year they passed 500 million users. ... The scale of Facebook is something that is transforming our lives. One in 10 people on the planet, and it's excluded in China where one in five people on the planet live," Time editor Richard Stengel said upon announcing the winner on NBC Television's "Today" show.
"It's not just a new technology. It's social engineering. It's changing the way we relate to each other. I actually think it's affecting human nature in a way that we have never even seen before."
Zuckerberg was a 19-year-old sophomore at Harvard University in 2004 when he started a Web service called Thefacebook.com from his dorm. Now he is one of the world's youngest billionaires and his privately held company is projected to have 2010 revenues of $2 billion, Time said.
Zuckerberg pledged a $100 million donation to the Newark, New Jersey, school system this year, and he was the subject of the Hollywood movie "The Social Network".
At 26 years old, Zuckerberg is the youngest winner since Charles Lindbergh was named the magazine's first person of the year in 1927 when he became the first pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
Since then the Time honor has become a cultural reference in the United States.
The award has had its controversy, such as when Adolf Hitler was named 1938.
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was the 2009 winner.
A Time poll showed readers favored naming WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange this year but Stengel said the magazine's editors and correspondents chose Zuckerberg after consulting among themselves, past winners and other world luminaries.
The conservative Tea Party political movement was Time's second choice for 2010 followed by Assange, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the 33 trapped Chilean miners.

Dear Dr. Don,
I have 99 $100 EE savings bonds issued from May 1993 to November 2000. Bonds from 1993 through mid-1995 pay an interest rate of 4 percent, while the later bonds are indicated at below 1 percent.
Can the 4 percent rate increase or decrease if I allow those bonds to reach final maturity? I'm not sure what my options are for possibly reinvesting them or even if it is worth it. Would I be better off cashing them out at final maturity?
— Lynda Longterm
Dear Lynda,
The U.S. Treasury makes a distinction between a Series EE savings bond's original maturity period and its extended maturity period out to a final maturity. Why the distinction? The Treasury guarantees that a Series EE bond will be worth at least face value when it reaches its original maturity date. Your Series EE bonds all have a final maturity date of 30 years, but their original maturity dates vary depending on when the bonds were issued.
The table below shows the maturity breakdowns and current yields of your Series EE savings bond portfolio.
Savings bonds: Maturity and yield
|Bonds issued
|Original maturity
|Extended maturity
|Final maturity
|Current yield
|May '93 – April '95
|18 years
|12 years
|30 years
|May '95 – April '97
|17 years
|13 years
|30 years
|May '97 – Nov. '00
|17 years
|13 years
|30 years
The bonds stop earning interest at their final maturity and, if you deferred paying income tax on the interest earnings, the tax bill comes due the year they mature. That's unless the bonds qualify for the education tax exclusion and you use the proceeds to pay qualified higher education expenses from the proceeds.
I suggest you don't sell the savings bonds you bought between May 1993 and April 1995. Unless the U.S. Treasury announces a change in the guaranteed rate prior to the savings bond's original maturity, and most of the bonds are already past that point, you'll continue to earn 4 percent on these bonds until their final maturity.
For the remainder of the bonds, it makes sense to hold them at least through their 17-year original maturity. That's because, if a Series EE Bond has not earned enough interest to be worth an amount that is double its purchase price on the date it reaches original maturity, the U.S. Treasury will make a one-time adjustment on the original maturity date of the bond to make up the difference. That should raise your yield on these bonds to about 4 percent over that original maturity. Past that date, it's up to you. The government will go back to paying a variable rate on the bonds, and you'll earn about what you'd earn on a short-term certificate of deposit, with the continued ability to defer income tax on the interest earnings until the savings bonds reach final maturity.

Bringing urban lifestyle to the village through WHH
I am Esnath Magadhi from Simbe in Njelele 3. Looking back in my life I never thought I would own property and assets like a four roomed house, a set of sofas, five cows just to mention a few. People in Njelele 3 used to mock at me for staying in the grass thatched huts made of dagga and poles. With the coming of Welthungerhilfe there is a complete turn - around in the lifestyle I am now living. From the picture above one can easily see that I no longer envy people who stay in town because they have some mortgages to pay but with me I leave freely and happily in the rural area. I also possess the furniture and equipment which is more or less similar to that owned by the town dwellers. Thumps up to WHH and EU who introduced me to conservation farming, market linkages and ROSCAs. I have been able to save money through the savings group, I am also now engaged in contract farming of sesame of which IETC the Sesame buyer has prices which farmers in my village appreciate. In 2016 I received US$460 after selling my sesame produce. I do not need a big piece of land for a high yield, my conservation agriculture plot is sufficient enough all crops. I am looking forward to a better yield this season because I'm practising conservation agriculture principles.
I am also a member in farmer field school groups. This means that my farm produce is readily marketed and I receive money which I use for my day to day up keep. I can now plan for my yearly activities from January to December, from land preparation to planting, harvesting, grain banking and marketing farm produce. Then nutrition gardens preparation, planting and harvesting of produce, then CHC component thus improving my house hold set-up using some of the funds that I would have banked and that I get from on -going income generating projects. I have a tight schedule all year round all because of WHH.
Boschveld chicken are making a difference in the lives of Gokwe families.
Mirriam Taonesa is a widow with five children, the first one doing form one (8th grade) whilst the rest are still at primary level. She resides at Njelele 3, Taonesa cluster in Makia village. The widow joined SIMBA as an adopter member in 2015 and is one of those benefited from the Boshveld programme. Mirriam was one of the poorest widow in the village. The Boshveld intervention changed her life when she started selling Boshveld eggs. At first she was picking an average of 21 eggs per day, 147 per week which filled 12 dozens. When the egg production rate rose, the widow then supplied primary school teachers for the neighbouring school. Payment plans were arrived at and this showed that eggs were supplied on credit thus the teachers would pay using eco-cash after receiving salaries.
Mirriam used the money to buy three goats, keep broilers and the rest to pay tuition fee for her all children. "I have never dreamt of this kind of life, had no hope, I thought all my children would die in poverty, but alas, now I can afford two meals a day," cried Taonesa Mirriam. The farmer went on to narrate that, "Besides my family is now leaving a healthy life all because of SIMBA. I would like to thank E.U for all that they have done to change my life. I have heard and read that all the funds are donated by E.U." Mirriam is one of the adopters who dragged more farmers to join SIMBA.

I knew it would be long course before I arrived. I had tried to swim Friday night and we were rained out but the pool had already been changed so I was one of the few who was not surprised this morning. I was pretty beat up by the end but made it through the entire workout. I much prefer long course to short course so didn't want to get out early since I am unsure if we'll have another weekend until next year. I will try to go back tomorrow and possibly Monday am since they usually don't flip the pool until after Monday am workout.

A story on Utne about "green" sex toys the other day got me wondering: how exactly does one get rid of a sex toy? Particularly the large ones, meant for those who mean business? I used to have a humongous Dr. Scholl's personal massager that my ex-BF's mom gave him for Christmas one year after he started weight-training. (Weird, I know.) Naturally, I called dibs on it and used it as my main vibe for years, long after we'd broken up. Then, one day, it started sparking, turned black, and conked out so I ripped the cord out of the wall, in fear that it might start a fire. When I walked it out to the kitchen and stepped on my trashcan pedal to throw it out, I realized that the vibe was almost as long as the garbage. (I'm not kidding, I measured it and it was a little over 18" long.) And then it hit me: maybe I should be put it out on the curb on the "large electronics and metal" recycling day. As a substantial piece of machinery, it seemed like it qualified!
The UK-based adult toy shop LoveHoney actually started a great recycling program for sex toys, but that's not going to help us on this side of the pond. I dug around, and found one website that claims to be part of a sex toy recycling company, but with no address, phone number, or specific instructions, it's most likely just a joke.
In the end, I ended up not putting my big broken vibe in my garbage, choosing instead to place it in a plastic bag and tossing it in the dumpster in front of my building. One other Jezebel editor says she walked her broken vibe down the street so that her super wouldn't find it when sorting the trash. So here's the question: what should we do with broken vibrators?

Diamondback 2013 road and mountain bikes preview
New Podium, Mason and RCX ranges launched for 2013
Diamondback might not land on everyone's shortlist for high-performance road and mountain bikes, but the company are in the midst of a major push to turn that around, with a wide range of well thought-out machines.
From lightweight carbon road bikes to disc cyclo-cross machines and long-travel 29ers, Diamondback are now putting out some genuinely appealing products that are worth a closer look.
On the Podium
While Diamondback are best known for their mountain bikes, a few consumers might remember the company's history on the road. In fact, Diamondback were one of the first major brands to move away from traditional lugs to lighter TIG-welded, short-butted steel frames in the early 1990s, with the Master TG.
After a long stint of admittedly mediocre product, Diamondback's impressively resurrected road range is now topped by the Podium 7 carbon fiber platform. The bike has a claimed weight of under 900g for a 56cm size, and a matching tapered all-carbon fork weight of 360g – thankfully, there's not a hint of marbled paint to be found.
The flagship Podium 7 gets the all-red treatment for 2013
Despite Diamondback's status as a relative newcomer to the high-end carbon road bike scene, the Podium SL chassis ticks most of the requisite boxes for technical features. These include Toray MR60 and HR40 carbon fibers (with pre-preg sheets produced in-house) and a modern manufacturing process with additional internal molds at the bottom bracket and head tube areas, for more precise shaping and tube wall consistency.
Elsewhere, there's a tapered 1 1/8in to 1 1/2in head tube with molded-in seats for the integrated headset bearings, a press-fit 30 bottom bracket shell with a bonded-in carbon fiber sleeve, carbon fiber dropouts, a replaceable carbon fiber front derailleur mount and internal cable routing.
Likewise, the all-carbon fork features continuous fibers from top to bottom, a molded-in seat for the lower headset bearing, and carbon fiber dropouts.
Save for a switch to slightly lesser fibers that add about 100g to the bare frame, the standard Podium frame – used on the Podium 6 and 5 models – is otherwise wholly identical throughout.
Diamondback haven't bothered with any aerodynamic tube design, preferring to stick with the classic performance metrics of weight, stiffness and ride quality. To this end, most of the tube diameters are notably large, and the tube walls are audibly thin.
But the seat stays are broad and flat, to provide rear-end comfort without overly sacrificing drivetrain efficiency. While not exactly an original approach, it's one that's been well proven by other brands, so there's little reason to expect it won't work here.
Geometry is decidedly middle-of-the-road in terms of handling speed, with traditional head tube angles that vary between 72 and 73 degrees and 72.5-67.5mm bottom bracket drops depending on size.
While Diamondback road product manager Michael Brown told BikeRadar that the Podium range isn't intended to compete based solely on price, the numbers are still undeniably enticing.
For example, a Shimano Ultegra Di2-equipped Podium 6 is just US$4,500 with Easton alloy wheels and an Easton carbon bar. A Podium 7 with new SRAM Red and Easton EC90 SL carbon clinchers is a comparatively inexpensive US$7,200.
S-bend seat stays on the Podium 6 are wide and thin, for a lively but smooth ride feel
More impressively, Diamondback are offering a couple of Campagnolo-equipped models, including the Podium 6 with Chorus – and Campagnolo Shamal 2-Way Fit tubeless-compatible alloy clinchers for US$5,500 and a Podium 7 with Super Record and Easton EC90 SL carbon clinchers for the relative bargain of US$8,500.
Moreover, the complete packages are also quite light. Actual weight on a 56cm Podium 6 Campy is just 6.94kg (15.3lb) without pedals and a 58cm Podium 7 with new SRAM Red is just under 6.5kg (14.33lb) without pedals.
We did find a few concessions made to help reduce costs – tubing size doesn't vary by size, so different frames will likely have somewhat disparate ride qualities. And while there are six sizes from 50-60cm on tap, all of them use the same fork rake.
Updated cyclo-cross bikes
Diamondback's alloy Steilacoom cyclo-cross range gets a revamp as well, with key changes including a tapered head tube, stiffer chain stays and a bigger down tube – all of which should make the new versions snappier and more responsive than their predecessors.
The Steilacoom RCX Pro Disc is a high-end cyclo-cross option for 2013
The top-end Steilacoom RCX Pro V also moves away from traditional cantilevers, to TRP's fantastic CX8.4 linear-pull brakes. But the real standout is the Steilacoom RCX Pro Disc, which will come with Easton's brand-new – and ultra-burly – EC90 XD disc-specific carbon cyclo-cross fork, Easton XA90 XD alloy clinchers and Avid BB7 mechanical disc calipers upgraded with XX 160/140mm front/rear rotors.
More 29ers for 2013
Out on the trail, Diamondback say the popularity of the Sortie 29 trail bike prompted an expansion of the range, which now includes the 140mm-travel Mason FS, and the Mason HT hardtail with a 140mm Fox TALAS fork.
The Mason FS uses Diamondback's long-running Knucklebox linkage-activated, single-pivot rear suspension design, but with a few tweaks to bring it up to date. Pushing the seat tube forward and switching to a direct-mount front derailleur has allowed for shorter chain stays. The Knucklebox linkage's main pivot is now directly mounted to the sides of the down tube, for improved stiffness, and the upper linkage pivot is more heavily reinforced.
The Mason FS comes with 140mm of travel
Component highlights for the top-end model include Easton Haven alloy wheels, a Race Face SIXC carbon two-ring crank with bashguard, and a RockShox Reverb dropper post.
Interestingly, Diamondback's product managers have also squeezed in what's long-been a favorite tire setup compound among industry insiders: a very aggressive and voluminous front tire matched with a much smaller and faster rear – in this case a 2.2in Kenda Nevegal paired with a 2in Kenda Slant Six.
The Mason HT does without rear suspension in favor of a burly alloy frame with a very short rear end, for more maneuverability. The long fork yields an unusually slack (at least for a hardtail), 66-degree head tube angle, and Diamondback also equip the bike with a 1×10 drivetrain and lightweight MRP 1.X guide. Key component standouts include WTB i23 rims, Race Face alloy crank arms, a Fox 34 TALAS 29 CTD Evolution fork and a remote KS dropper post.
The Mason HT features tight rear-end geometry
Diamondback's new carbon bikes are slated for delivery next spring (although the carbon Podiums were actually introduced as a 2012 model, so current bikes might still be available). New alloy road, cyclo-cross and mountain bikes should be available in the fall.
Stay tuned for a first ride report on Diamondback's top-end Podium 7 in the coming days, too.

Nancy Pelosi remarked that the federal budget has been pared to the bone and that there were no more places to cut. Here is one:
Read more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...#ixzz3fUQGhI6VSince 2012 the government has spent nearly $2 million on a campaign to get women to nag the men in their lives to quit using smokeless tobacco.
The National Institutes of Health has sponsored a continuing grant for the Oregon Research Institute to evaluate an innovative approach that encourages male smokeless tobacco users to quit by enlisting the support of their wives/partners, both to lead smokeless tobacco users to engage in treatment and to help them sustain abstinence.
Researchers had already established that women can be readily recruited to get their husbands to quit chewing tobacco, but now the project is going a step further with a multimedia push that includes a website with an interactive and tailored support plan.
Researchers will conduct a randomized clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of the cessation program.
The program is raising eyebrows among taxpayer watchdogs, health advocates and activists on womens issues, who see the expenditures as wasteful and gender pandering.
American women dont need the federal government spending money to get us to nag our husbands to stop using tobacco, we do that just fine on our own, said Penny Nance, president and CEO of Concerned Women for America, a conservative womens group. Even if it were a worthwhile effort, we are $18 trillion in debt. We simply cant afford it.
Added Richard Manning, President of Americans for Limited Government, a spending watchdog: One wonders if NIH has a companion grant program designed to teach dads how to cope with hostile environments in the household. With Congress in its annual appropriations season, defunding this unnecessary and destructive program should be an easy one.
Follow us: @washtimes on Twitter
Not to mention all the other government propaganda in media. Sometimes there are two or three ads in a row from various and sundry minders, all paid for with public dollars.
Shit the federal budget has more pork than Iowa.
A True America Hero
This is exactly the kind of thing that has been bringing down our country for decades. The government is only supposed to take in enough money to operate, not to push an agenda.
More important, the economics of ObamaCare reward scale over competition. Benefits are standardized and premiums are de facto price-controlled. With margins compressed to commodity levels, buying more consumers via mergers is simpler than appealing to them with better products, to the extent the latter is still legal.

Are you puzzled by the many public Amazon EC2 images that are available? They are all wonderful to get started with, and we all have to thank the many authors who have put a lot of work into creating them. But when we put a server into production we always feel like we should be 100% in control. We want to make sure there is nothing unknown on the images we are using. We also believe that even though we will be offering base images to our customers, some of them may want to recreate them themselves, "just to be sure." Well, we finally found the right approach to creating base Amazon EC2 images: scripting.Our first RightImages are a Fedora Core 6 image and a CentOS 5 image, both generated entirely automatically. Our goals are:
- Create a fairly clean base image with just what we believe are the essentials.
- Create the image automatically using a script, this allow you to inspect all the details, create your own version of our image if you choose to, and it allows for easy maintenance.
- Put a few seeds onto the image that will support the new features we're preparing in the context of the RightScale service (you can easily remove these if you want to use the image without RightScale).
Below is a description of the FC6 image we prepared, and you can download the script that we used to prepare it. To reproduce the image yourself, launch the Amazon Fedora Core 4 base image, log in, copy the script onto the image, edit the credentials in the script, and run the script. Then have lunch or dinner, and hopefully everything will have completed by the time you are done.
RightImage Fedora Core 6 Base, Version 2
Amazon AMI-ID: ami-2c8f6a45 The purpose of the Fedora Core 6 base image is to provide the bare essentials for a usable Amazon EC2 image. We started with a GroupInstall Base and made the following customizations.
yum Packages Added
- wget – for retrieving web based files
- mlocate – for fast file searching
- nano – Alternative to Vi/Emacs
- logrotate – Log Rotation
- ruby – needed for EC2 and RightScale scripts
- rubygems – needed for ruby work
- syslog-ng – replacement to syslog, better remote logging, used by RightScale features
- postfix – alternative to Sendmail, easier to set-up for most people
- gcc/gcc-c++ – needed to compile software
- zip/unzip
- glibc libraries – these are needed and must be force installed for some software to work.
Non-yum-based Software Added
- Java JRE 1.6.0su1 – used by the Amazon API tools
- Amazon Kernel Headers linux-2.6.16-xenU – useful to compile kernel modules
- Amazon EC2 AMI Tools – enable bundling
- Amazon EC2 API Tools – EC2 command line tools
- S3Sync – rsync-like functionality to sync local filesystem with S3
- RightScale Software – fetches launch data into /var/spool/ec2
Enhancements Made
- EC2 meta-data is fetched from 169.254.169.254 into /var/spool/ec2/meta-data
- EC2 meta-data and user-data include files in /var/spool/ec2/metat-data for Bash and Perl.
- EC2 Command Line tools in /home/ec2
- AWS variables for EC2 and S3 are set in /etc/profile.d/ec2.sh
- Java variables are set in /etc/profile.d/java.sh
- Disabled password authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Modifications to /network config according to Amazon documentation
- Modifications to /etc/rc.local to fetch ssh key
- Creation of /opt/rightscale directory tree for RightScale add-ons, they consist on the following:
Services Disabled
The following services are not necessary on EC2 or were replaced by another service:
- acpid
- anacron
- apmd
- autofs
- avahi-daemon
- avahi-dnsconfd
- bluetooth
- cpuspeed
- cups
- dhcdbd
- dund
- firstboot
- gpm
- hidd
- irda
- irqbalance
- kudzu
- mdmpd
- netplugd
- NetworkManager
- NetworkManagerDispatcher
- nfslock
- pand
- pcscd
- portmap
- rdisc
- readahead_later
- rpcgssd
- rpcidmapd
- rpcsvcgssd
- sendmail
- smartd
- syslog
- wpa_supplicant
- xfs
- yum-updatesd (disabled to ensure an update does not break production)
Services Enabled
- postfix
- psacct
- rightscale
- syslog-ng
RightImage CentOS 5 Base, Version 1
Amazon AMI-ID: ami-268f6a4f The CentOS 5 image is pretty much identical to the FC6, except that some packages come in at different versions and we had to install syslog-ng from source. As above, you can download the script to generate the image. We would love to hear your feedback, especially if you feel that there is anything that we have missed.

Author John le Carré knew the Cold War spy business from the inside. Under his real name, David Cornwell, he was a British spy betrayed by real-life KGB double-agent Kim Philby in 1963. Many elements of his novel "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" are built on the facts surrounding the historic defection of Philby to the Soviets.
The plot begins with rumors that a Soviet mole has penetrated the highest levels of British intelligence. John Hurt plays the leader of the agency trying to identify the spy. Gary Oldman is excellent as the tight-lipped George Smiley who is given the secret mission to ferret out the mole.
What follows is an old-fashioned, low-tech spy thriller. There are no computers, GPS devices or unmanned drones in sight. Teletype machines, reel-to-reel tape recorders and binoculars are state-of-the-art equipment. All communications utilize rotary dial phones.
There are no hints of James Bond-style action or nonsense. Uncovering the truth here is a slow, plodding and cerebral process. A brooding, chilly atmosphere pervades everything on screen. This may be closer to the reality of espionage than anything you'll see in "Mission: Impossible."
'A Separation'
It is rare in Hollywood for a foreign language film to be touted as the "best picture of the year," but "A Separation" easily warrants those accolades. I hope there are some Oscars in store for this beautifully told story.
The gripping family drama begins with a middle-class Iranian couple telling a judge their reasons for divorce. Simin wants to start a life abroad to give their daughter more opportunities. Her husband Nader cannot leave his Alzheimer's-stricken father, and wants to keep the daughter with him.
Nothing is settled, and Simin moves out to live with her parents. Nader must hire a woman to look after his father during the day. This separation triggers a complex, increasingly desperate series of personal and legal events that reveal the gaps in communication, education and values between people.
Director/ producer Asghar Farhadi also wrote this film with characters we can relate to: a daughter being forced to choose between her parents, a son torn up over an aging parent, a poor couple struggling with serious debt. We feel their pain and anguish and are shocked by their poor choices.
"A Separation" leaves us to worry about the characters and ponder the hornet's nest of ethical questions stirred up within.

O'Reilly: "War" on Christmas part of "secular progressive agenda" that includes "legalization of narcotics, euthanasia, abortion at will, gay marriage"
Video ››› ››› ANNA DIMOND
Loading the player reg...
In the latest instance of decrying the purported "war" on Christmas, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly claimed that "it's all part of the secular progressive agenda ... to get Christianity and spirituality and Judaism out of the public square." He then added: "[B]ecause if you look at what happened in Western Europe and Canada, if you can get religion out, then you can pass secular progressive programs, like legalization of narcotics, euthanasia, abortion at will, gay marriage, because the objection to those things is religious-based, usually." O'Reilly's comments came during a November 18 discussion on his television show, The O'Reilly Factor, with guest and fellow Fox News host John Gibson about "which American stores are using 'Christmas' in advertising this Christmas season and which are not." Gibson is the author of The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought (Sentinel, October 2005).
In response to O'Reilly's remarks, Gibson said, "You have France or you have -- or you have Holland, you have legalized prostitution, you have drugs. All those things come in which religious organizations tend to oppose."
O'Reilly's segment with Gibson was the most recent example of Fox News' coverage of the purported "Christmas Under Siege" by "secular progressives." As Media Matters for America has documented, O'Reilly began promoting the "siege" with Fox News host Sean Hannity before Christmas 2004. Most recently, O'Reilly revealed a new front in the "war on Christmas" on his November 9 television show when he discussed his "decision to look at some retail policies this year" regarding which seasonal greeting major retailers will use with their customers. In response to a guest's argument that nondenominational salutations did not offend Christians, O'Reilly responded, "Yes, it does. It absolutely does."
From the November 18 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: "Back of the Book" segment tonight: We continue our reporting on which American stores are using "Christmas" in advertising this Christmas season and which are not. So far, here's the list. Again, our litmus test is which operations are using the greeting "Merry Christmas" in their advertising and which are not. OK, using -- you can see JCPenney's, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Dillard's. Not using, there they are. Now, Kohl's, still giving us a hard time, but their advertising has been all "Happy Holidays" so I don't know what they want. The company says the clerks are free to say "Merry Christmas." Yeah, OK, that's nice. Again, this investigation is designed to spotlight retailers who have knocked the word "Christmas" out of the Christmas season. We're not too interested with the word "merry." Don't really care about "merry." On the toy store front, here's what we found out. Toys "R" Us simply is not going to answer our questions, so we assume that means they're not using "Merry Christmas." Not using for sure, KB Toys and FAO Schwarz. But FAO Schwarz says that their people in the store can shout "Merry Christmas" as loud as they want.
With us now, Fox News anchor John Gibson, the author of the book The War on Christmas: Why It's Worse Than You Thought. This is so incredibly stupid I can't believe it. All you need to do is use all the phrases: "Merry Christmas," "Happy Holidays," "Happy Hanukah." Plenty of advertising space, plenty of room for banners in your store. Why do you think they're this dumb in excluding "Merry Christmas"?
GIBSON: In the book, I talk about this going on in schools and libraries and public parks all over the country. And the only thing I can think about these retailers is they tend to worry about 100 percent of the customers. And if 85 percent of the country is Christian and 90 some percent celebrate Christmas, there's that little extra percentage that may not.
O'REILLY: Yeah, but surely they understand, because they do understand. We called Toys "R" Us. They knew right away --
GIBSON: Right.
O'REILLY: -- OK, that they're in waters they don't want to be in. So surely, they understand the anger that's going to be engendered by millions of Americans who believe that their cherished holiday is being denigrated, disrespected.
GIBSON: Yes, it indicates hostility and --
O'REILLY: By not using the word.
GIBSON: -- by refusing to say the word "Christmas." And what I've noticed is the way this appears in schools, for instance, is we now don't call it the Christmas break. It's the winter break, as if people worship winter. And there wouldn't be a winter break if there wasn't Christmas at that time of year. So once you call it -- change the name. You won't use the word "Christmas," then you go to "winter," you can sort of push the Christmas thing out of public view.
O'REILLY: See, I think it's all part of the secular progressive agenda --
GIBSON: Absolutely.
O'REILLY: -- to get Christianity and spirituality and Judaism out of the public square. Because if you look at what happened in Western Europe and Canada, if you can get religion out, then you can pass secular progressive programs like legalization of narcotics, euthanasia, abortion at will, gay marriage, because the objection to those things is religious- based, usually.
GIBSON: You have France or you have -- or you have Holland, you have legalized prostitution, you have drugs. All those things come in which religious organizations tend to oppose. Once you start taking out even the secular symbols of religious holidays -- Christmas trees, Santas, so forth -- refuse to use the word "Christmas," you can shove this religious stuff indoors, out of sight.
O'REILLY: Yeah, because no kid is going to come home and ask Mom what winter break is.
GIBSON: No.
O'REILLY: But a kid might come home and say, "Hey, what's this Christmas thing all about? Who is this baby Jesus guy?" You know?
GIBSON: Right.
O'REILLY: So look, that's on a very intellectual level, and it's behind the scenes. But these retailers are killing -- they're shooting themselves. I mean, they're killing themselves, because millions of people are just not going to shop in these places.

'50's are back again with
Bethel's own 'teen angels'
by John E. Angel
Priest and the Scribes, a group of
Bethel students past and present, will
be in concert Tuesday night at 8 p.m.
in the gymnasium. The concert will be
a benefit for the Christian Service Department,
and all proceeds will go to
this cause'.
Last year's Scribes concert was considered
by many to have been the best
event of the year, and attendance was
very good. One of those in attendance
was junior Mark Stevens. I asked him
to give some general impressions of last
year's concert.
"I'd have to say quite honestly," Mark
began, "that it was the best concert
I've ever attended in my experience
at Bethel. It was a night of laughs
and good music; everyone there seemed
to be throughly enjoying themselves."
When asked to be a bit more specific,
Mark obliged with the following comments.
"The music was a pleasant surprise.
For a group that was so new,
the sound was very decent. The background
Scribes provided was clear, mellow
harmony, essential to their fifties
style, that effectively highlighted Priestley's
dynamic leads."
The people that Mark referred to are
as follows: John Priestley (the Priest),
who handles most of the leads; Dee
Traudt, Gordy Gibson, Paul Reasoner,
and Carey Olson, who sing background
and share the rest of the leads; Rick
Ressel, lead guitar and vocals; Paul
Healy, bass guitar; Nancy Horvath, on
drums; and Marv Hadenfeldt, who plays
the keyboards and sings background vocals.
Dale Berglund handles the sound
system for the group.

Festival features ,
traditional praise
by Laum Alden
Webster defines a festival as "a time
of celebration marked by special observances."
Bethel's special observance of
Christmas will be held in the Bethel
fieldhouse December 6 and 7 at 7 :30
p.m. and December 8 at 3 p.m.
The Festival Choir has been working
since September to perfect its repertoire.
Why? The students replied:
"Because it's required."
"I enjoy singing."
"To eventually reach a spirit of reverence."
"To praise God."
The tickets have been going fast. Thousands
plan to attend. Why? Festival-goers
"I come for the music."
"For the tradition."
"To be put in the Christmas mood."
"It wouldn't be Christmas without Festival.
Many are anticipating the Festival of
Christmas, 1974. The program is varied,
yet the music is familiar. This celebration
kicks off the Christmas season.

Let/s o,utline the duties
o,f the, c'ampus pastor
It seems to us that, among the several duties which now
face the Chapel and Spiritual Life Committee, it would be
timely for that body to draw up a formal job description for
the position of campus pastor. Although an informal statement
of intent for that office now exists, we believe a formal
job description would aid the new pastor in determining what
his priorities must be in his work, and give students and
faculty (the people who depend on his ministry) a better idea
of what they can expect from him. An itemized listing of the
campus pastor's responsibilities, in order of their importance,
would seem to us to be a reasonable imperative
at this point.
Certainly, a campus pastor must be spiritually mature,
able to communicate spiritual truths to both individuals and
large groups. However, first and foremost, we hope that
the Committee will look for a man who will serve Bethel
College to the best of his abilities - a man able to be
flexible in dealing with many kinds of students and situations.
He should be a man who is not easily shocked by
the doubts and questions of youthful Christians, but a man
who will listen and keep to himself the confidences entrusted
to him.
The campus pastor of Bethel College should not be a
recruiting officer for Bethel Seminary (a responsibility listed
in the present statement of intent). His responsibility should
be to this school, to serVe all its students, to be open and
willing to interact with them at all times. This should be
his highest priority.
Since students and faculty do not have the final say when
it comes to hiring Bethel personnel, we fear the administration
may come to feel this Committee's input is a meaningless
formality it must procure to pacify the most vocal on this
subject. We hope the administration will not give in to the
easy temptation of this attitude, but will utilize the Committee
for what it can and should be doing.

Dear E1itor:
Admittedly, the Bethel Food Service gets picked on a lot.
Maybe we shouldn't even complain about the perpetually
relished sandwiches. But this time we feel the students have
a legitimate gripe.
Thanksgiving, traditionally the Time of Bounty, will
become the Time of Involuntary Fasting for all those students
who are not going home. The Food Service (cafeteria -
coffee shop) will be closed Thursday through Sunday. For
your eating comfort and enjoyment it has been benignly
suggested that students buy eggs, hamburger, etc., to cook
during this time.
Maybe Food Service is punishing us for all the "bad
things" we say about the quality of food here at Bethel. The
argument is that not enough students stayed here at Bethel
last Thanksgiving to make it worthwhile ' for the Food
Service to be open. But we are talking about a service
to the students - a service the students deserve for shelling
out $225.00 to the Food Service. The coffee shop being open
would be sufficient - but the students do deserve some sort
of Food Service during this four day break.
Decisions like these tend to reinforce the belief that the
Bethel Food Service places students very near the bottom
on its list of priorities.

Seizing the opportunity to let my mind wander, my
thoughts turned to my own outside interests and Baroque
music in particular. Although music has been one of my
deepest loves for as long as I can ;remember, I have ~et
to take a music class at Bethel.
"'Ah ha!" I thought, "This is what the professor was
talking about, the perfect opportunity to educate myself."
Heading for the LRC my Q,ead was filled with .thoughts of
Bach preludes and fugues, Fr:ench suites and two-part inventions.
When I reached the LRC I made my way to
the record shelves and my eyes latched onto a ~omplete
volume of Bach's organ preludes. Feeling quite noble, I took
the massive album from the shelf and brought it Qver
to the check-out counter.
''I'd like to check th'is album out and use one of the record
players please," I explained to the girl on duty.
"Are you listening to these records for a cl'ass?" she
"Uh no ... I just want to listen to some Bach for a while
until dinner," I replied, a bit confused.
"Well, I'm sorry, but I can't check out record players
to students unless it is for a class. You will have to take
the record home if you want to listen to it," she replied.
"You mean I'm not allowed to listen to ,these records
here?" I asked in amazement. '
"Only music students 'are -permitted to use the record
players in the listening -rooms. If you want to listen, it will
cost a dollar," she replied evenly.

This new policy was stated in the Bethel bulletin where
the LRC committee explained that "equipment in the AudioVisual
Center was purchased for use in academic activities
and other college functions." Private use is permitted, provided
it doesn't interfere with a college function and provided
the listener pay a dollar. .
The reasoiI for the policy is a so-called problem with
music students who are required to listen to a quota of records
and who are u:pable to get record players and listening
rooms when necessary. Supposedly, the "private users" are
interfering with the "academic users."
Recognizing the potential problem, I did some calculating.
The library is open more than 75 hours per week.
The media center has 3 record players. This allows for over
225 man-hours of listening time per week.
But that is potential listening time. I visited the LRC
randomly during the past two weeks, morning, afternoon,
and evenings. Out of a dozen viSits, I only saw one person
listenrhg to records. Obviously, not only aren't "private
users" paying the $1 but "academic users" .aren't even listening
for free.
Hopefully, a compromise can be worked out: Perhaps
several hours a day could be granted to Joe-non-muscian so
that he can lisen to LRC records on LRC equipment. Otherwise,
I don't see much hope for the self-education of Joenon-
musician or for anyone else at Bethel.

Fencing offets

by Keith Kramer
Being one of three Clarion writers
with athletic ability, but the 'Only 0'ne
healthy enough t0' write a stDry on fencing
(Dan J oling was still recovering
from a football injury and Paul Healy
was sleeping off a long night of pinball),
I dropped in on Shirley Dawson's fencing
class last Thursday morning.
My images 0'f swashbuckling Frenchmen
disarming their opponents with ev,
ery other flick of the sword, were rapidly ~
disappearing, a\ the· class went over
the basics. My partner was none other
than Miss Dawson, the instructor. I started
on the offensive and tried to tap
her bl&de away and make a straight
lunge. My blade touched nothing but
air, and I was quickly run through on
a counter attack. This sequence was
repea ted every time I was on the offensive.
My defensive skills were more refined.
When she attacked, I would hit her
blade and jump out of the way. One
notable moment in my fencing career
occurred when I used a long sweeping
stroke (a la Zorro) to defend a lunge

from my opponent. I missed and wound
up on my derriere.
Finally my chance came. I was to
use all that I had learned in the last
half-hour in a bout. The normal fencing
strip is about 40 feet long and six feet
wide, but one wasn't available at the
time, so we made our own. Scoring
was a hit scored on the torso, and
counted as one point. "On guard, Reard,
Fence!", was tbe command and the bout
was under way.
I was quickly driven back by a series
of well placed swipes by my 'Opponent,
whose arms were longer than both of
mine put together. I ~ountered with two
quick lunges to the left shoulder. Both
of' them missed. He took advantage of
the situation, and hit me in the ribs.
Tlle score was now 1-0.
The command was again given, and
the action was fast and furious. Attacks
.were beaten off and countered by more
attacks. Both fencers touched each other
numerous times, but not one hit the
torso. With 10 seconds left, I looped
my foil over his, and scored with a
touch to the right shoulder. The match
was over, the score was tied and both
contestants retreated to the showers.
VB,C President Lilly yisits Bethel,
relates the school's past and future
by Sidney Dinwoodie
"We at Vancouver Bible College remain
committed to the Bible School
movement. We have no aspirations to
become a , liberal arts college." This
statement was made by the Academic
Dean of Vancouver Bible College
(V.B.C.), Robert Lilly, in a briefing he
gave to the faculty of Bethel College
at their meeting on November 7.
Lilly was invited to Bethel to tell
. the faculty a little bit about V.B.C.,
including its hist~ry and some of its
plans for the future.
Lilly said the r ecent modifications of
s'Ome of the school's courses did not
reflect ' a move toward a liberal arts
kind of education. "The school just need- .
ed new avenues through which t'O contact
people. Schools that become stereotyped
soon die," he said.
Lilly said he realized that s'Ome people
thought the Bible school movement was
becoming obsolete. He pointed out that
enrollment at Bible schools in North
America was at an all time high of
28,770. "Bible schools are a vital part
of Chr istian higher \ education," he said.
"We (of the Bible school movement) I
are geared mainly to the missionary
endeavor , with slightly less emphasis
on pastor ates and youth work." As was
la ter noted in a question and answer
period, however, V.B.C. has no program
in anthropology to train student~ in deal- .
ing with foreign cultUres.
"We are a distinct branch of Christian
education. I believe there is room in
the conference for the three ministries,"
he said, referring to the three schools
presently under the Board of Regents,
Bethel College, Bethel Seminary and Vancouver
Bible College.
"Bible school training is more vocational
and less professional than seminary
tr aining," h~ said. He explained that
Bible schools emphasize teaching the student
specific skills whereas in seminary

Change in current attitudes needed
for rape to be faced realistically
by Steve Harris
Editor's note: As part of Bethel's recent "Crime and Criminal
Justice Week," a panel discussion on the subject of rape
was held. The discussion involved a rape victim, a police
officer, a rapist, and a pediatrician involved in the treat·
ment of rape victims. 'l'his article, the first of a two·
part series, explores the tragedy of the victim.
Rape. The very word, spoken in the sexually-charged
atmosphere of 1974 America, draws immediate response,
whether it be fear, fascination, or apathy. It is a subject
that is now being seriously talked about, and worried about,
for perhaps the first time. It is a subject that mariy women's
. rights groups have condemned as symbolic of the injustices
heaped upon them by a male-dominated society. And, tragically,
it is a subject which annually threatens the physical
safety of thousands of American women.
The violent crime of rape is increasing, last year by 15
percent (a figure based only on the number of reported
rapes, the actual amount may be ten times as great.) Faced
with that increase, police authorities are attempting to bolster
their rape prevention programs. But what about the 'Victim?
Is she being ignored, even abused, as some groups contend?
Yes, she is, says Ms. Joan McGrath, a young, darkhaired
woman currently working for the Minneapolis Star.
The evidence she uses to substantiate that claim is formidable
-Ms. McGrath was raped two years ago in her Minneapolis
"I heard a knock at my door," says Ms. McGrath,
describing her ordeal, "and as I opened it a large, awkWard
man burst in ... 1 couldn't believe -what was happening. He
was clumsy, frustrated, sweaty. (As he attacked me) I wondered,
'how can I disable him? Should I endure this?'
but then I realized there was no choice." .
After molesting her, the attacker pulled the phone out of
the wall, rummaged through her refrigerator, and showed
strange fascination with ·a book on her table.
.• He picked up a Bible
and asked . . . if I read it.
Then I realized that he
couldn't read."
"He picked up a Bible that was laying there and he asked
.me if I read it. Then I realized that he couldn't read.
He stood there and began talking to me in a casual tone
of voice. Finally he left, .... 1 felt sick inside."
The tragic ordeal she had gone through that night did
not end there for Ms. McGrath - in many ways it was orJy
the beginning. First came the arrival of the police officers
with sometimes "insensitive" questioning, followed by a trip
to the hospital for a medical examination which she described '
as a very unpleasant experience." '
The legalities of her case presented other problems.
"I was lucky that the County Attorney's office even took
my case. The fact that I was white and middle-class prob.
ably had something to do with it."
'As it was, her attacker, who had also mole.sted a 14
year-old girl, was convicted to a plea-bargained sentence that,
at the most, will find him back on the streets in a few
months. "I hope," she said, somewhat coldly, "he doesn't _
pick your steet next time."
Even more damaging to her than, the physical abuse she
received was the emotional crisis that she was about to
"We have to start facing
rape as the violent crime
that it IS • IRape it not
sexuaI. "
,"The response of some people was as inhuman as the
rape," she says bitterly. "When I was raped it was the beginning
of some real emotional problems for me. Maybe the
rapist did the least amount of damage; people afterwards
were even more damaging, emotionally speaking."
The insensitivity of many people in response to her ordeal
has created what she calls a "cynicism" about people that
made her feel "like I was at the bottom of the ocean."
An example of those problem~ resulted in a strained
relationship with her bpyfriend.
"Some men get carried away with their machismo image
and they don't help the woman in her emotional needs,"
she explained. She also mentioned she was aware of marriages
that had broken up following rapes.
Perhaps the least obvious, and deeply entrenched, problem
in. the area of rape is that of attitudes. Many myths
surround the crime itself: "women have deep desires to be
raped," "rape is performed by sexual perverts," "some
women asked to get raped by the way they dress." On
and on these myths grow, and their damage, says Ms.
McGrath, is inestimable.
"We have to start facing rape as the violent crime that
it is," she said. "Rape is not sexual. And any woman who
might say that she fantasizes about being raped isn't aware
of reality. She might imagine Paul Newman barging into her
bedroom some night and making love to her, but that isn't
rape. No one wants a knife at her throat and a physical
beating - that is what r~pe really is."
A change in current attitudes toward rape is needed,
agreed the other panel members, if the crime is ever to be
faced realistically. Some of those changes are already evident,
in terms of hospital treatment and legal proceedings. But
the adoption of attitudes begins with the individual's sensi-

Taylor never lived to see his wishes

was founded in 1918. In 1956, with V.B.l.
facing bankruptcy, the Baptist General
Conference began to contribute to the
~chool. Last June, . in the annual Baptist
General Conference meetings in Seattle,
the Conference voted to take over V.B.C.
In 1968, V.B.l. received a charter from
the provincial government of British Columbia
permitting . it to grant Bachelor
of Theology and Bachelor of Religious
Education degrees.
Lilly explained that the right to grant
B.A. degrees is given under an educational
charter in Canada and that only the
provincial universities and schools affili-ated
with them are chartered. He said

from Vancouver Bible Institute to Vancouver

There are six full-time faculty members

-for women's volleyball
The women's intercollegiate volleyball team had what
Coach Patricia Brownlee termed "a building season" in
1974, winning one of three contests in the state tournament
Saturday, and ending the season with a thr.ee-win, sevenloss
After losing five of six starting players to graduation,
the squad suffered mainly from lack of experience: ~iss
Brownlee noted that th'e team played well, however, agamst
such stiff regular-season competition as Minnesota secondplace
Augsburg College and third-place st. Catherine.
The "A" team's 3-7 season record \yas compiled with victories
over Normandale Community College, Macalester, and
Mt. Senario. The "B" squad fared slightly better, downing
Normandale, Concordia-St. Paul, Carleton and Hamline for a
final 4-5 record.
"More women turned out for BE7thel volleyball this year
than ever before," Miss 'Brownlee said. An initial group of
25 to 30 was finally pared down to a nucleus of .17 play~rs,
eight of which traveled to the state tournament at Macalester
College. Leadership was provided by two seniors,
Marilynn Luce and Eunice Siebelist.
"An encouraging element was the increase in .spectator
interest at Bethel this season," Miss Brownle~ added. S~e
said that students are realizing the high degree of SkIll
displa~ed in volleyball by many local teams.

new PA system
Friday night was the debut of the
1974-75 Bethel band as well as the new
public address system in the gym. The
band has worked since the beginning
of school toward the culminating event
of Friday night. The band members went
to great lengths - not only musically
but with the decorations as well.
The gym was transformed into a band
festival atmosphere from the Gay 90's.
There were tables scattered around the
gym floor to create the scene of a
sidewalk cafe.
"Showtime U.S.A." was the theme of
this year's pop concert. In line with
this the band played show tunes from
different time periods. In between songs,
Dan Nelson narrated which gave a perfect
opportunity for the official trial of
the new P.A. system.
The new P.A. system, which was installed
by Aud~o Electronics of Minneapolis
at the cost of $17,000, replaces
the controversial system that was installed
by Audio Engineers last year.
The new system is six times as power-

ful as the former system as well as
being ten times as efficient with a cluster
of 19 speakers. The speakers will soon
be covered in white shrouds to make
them less obtrusive.
The new P .A. system has been designed
for programs origina ting from the
East wall of the gym rather than the
North as was done in the past. :
Dr. Whittinger remarked afterward he
was pleased with the concert and the
new system. Not only was he pleased,
but also, the audience was, as shown
by the rousing standing ovation given
the band at the conclusion of the '74
pop concert.

The main reason none of the prospects
have actually bought the old campus
is one of finances - they probably do
not have sufficient methods of funding
the purchase. Another possible reason
is that unless an educational institution
buys the property, the agency may not
be able to use the whole campus. The
dorms and classroom buildings may have
to be sold separately, he said.

Healy leads Royals
past Alumni, 67-64
by Keith Kramer
The basketball team had its season opener last Saturday
and almost lost it after leading the whole game, in the
last twenty seconds as they squeaked by the Alumni, 67-64.
The Royals mounted a 38-25 lead at halftime, as they
cracked the Alumni zone with lob passes to Paul Healy.
Healy had 15 of his 17 points in the first half.
But in the second half, the Alumni's Steve Scroggins
hit his first four shots, closing the margin to five points.
He came out with 12 minutes to play, and both teams traded
baskets for the next six minutes. The Royals then went
ahead by nine and Scroggins came off the bench. He
connected with a few passes to Pederson, reducing the
Royals' lead to two, with 20 seconds left to play.
The Alumni took the ball out, and it went to Scroggins,
who was out on top. He dribbled around, looking for an opening.
With 13 seconds left, he lobbed the ball to Pederson.
But it hit the backboard, and bounced wildly on the floor. Paul
Reasoner grabbed the loose ball and the Royals called time
out with five seconds left.
Rick Seume passed to Reasoner and the Alumni immediately
pressed. But Ted Steen fouled Reasoner with one
second left, giving Reasoner a one-on-one situation. Reasoner
hit the first one and missed the second, with Wayne Hallquist
grabbing the rebound to end the game.
Alumni - Steen 2, Aune 4, Priestly 2, Scroggins 22, Maring 2,
Hochl 2, Wahlberg 4, Fredeen 2, Weko 2, Pederson 14, Brodeen
3, Moore 1, Robertson 2.
