Expansion of
Library Being
A long range program for the
expansion of the college library is
being planned by this year's fac-ulty
committee, headed by Mr.
Reuben Omark.
Expansion is needed to provide
more study space and more book
space. An immediate problem is
the limited amount of space in the
stack room. _
To gain ideas as to how this ex-pansion
can be worked out, the
committee has visited three of the
college libraries in this area
those of Gustavus Adolphus, St.
Cloud Teachers', and the Univer-sity
Agricultural college. Also, in
order that the faculty might learn
from the experience of another col-lege,
Mrs. Kathryn Blackwell, as-sistant
librarian at Macalester col-lege,
spoke at a united faculty
meeting Feb. 1.
The library committee, which
was appointed by President Lund-quist,
includes Dr. Moberg and Mr.
Engwall from the college, Dr.
Pearson from the seminary, and
Miss Axeen and Mr. Guston, lib-rarian
and associate librarian, re-spectively.
Ex officio members are
Dean Anderson of the college and
Dean Omark of the seminary.
Further reports will be publish-ed
as progress is made on this
Still Cold Out
A discouraged and frustrated
Bethelite wrote a letter to the edi-tor
of the CLARION concerning
the recent drive which collected
clothes for the Indians in Northern
Minnesota. The clothes, a huge
amount, were to be sent to the In-dians
that our missionaries work
"I'm sure the missionaries are
using them very advantageously,"
the writer exclaimed. "It's a valid
means of showing them that we're
interested in their welfare as well
as their souls."
"Don't you feel good knowing
the Indians are warm this winter?
Well, don't!" she said, "The clothes
are still in the basement of Ed-gren's
residence for men."

We Want a Weekly [T[jR-E
Bethel's development program has been agitated by another grow-ing
pain this quarter. A few people concerned about publications feel
that the need for a weekly newspaper has presented itself openly at last.
Discussed at the last meeting of the Student Senate was the feasi-bility
of having some kind of a report sheet issued to the student body
each week. This sheet would eliminate the necessity of announcements
which are made at chapel period.
Members of the CLARION staff have felt for some time that the
service of the newspaper is "less effective" as a bi-weekly. Most of the
students don't even know when publishing dates are, and as a result,
think it's an extremely irregular periodical.
Many feel that because it's so long between publications it
has lost its effect as an informer of campus activities; also, it has lost
its timeliness.
The observations of CLARION workers show that there actually
are enough activities and events on campus to feed a weekly. But the
problem has been one of finances. Now, we have learned we can get
the CLARION printed for $100 per issue. Currently our total costs
amount to $140 per issue.
With just a little more money from the school, not even half as much
more of what they give us now, Bethel can have a weekly like other
We would appreciate your letters concerning this matter. It's your
Let's Have the Real Answer
The problem most Christian students face in modern universities
is, "How can I best explain my faith in God to those around me who
obviously do not share my beliefs ?" This problem is more pronounced
today because of our generation's materialistic ideals and their effect
on the college student. The prevailing doctrine of our era is, "Belief
in God is neither scientific nor logical. We must be rational." And it
seems that the main objection to accepting Christianity completely is
found in thinking that such a religion is not practical enough for
twentieth century needs.
"How," asks a student, "can I put my faith in something whose
adherents only passively stand up for its beliefs ? If Christians really
believed what they claim to, they wouldn't merely look sick when some-one
in the group says something off-color or pretend that there is
something in their eyes to fake asking a blessing on a meal. What
I want is something real; something that isn't out of place with to-day's
progress, and something that can fit in with my life each day.
Does - Christianity have it ?"
It is easy enough to answer this question in the affirmative. So
-S;6-ubelieve in a "personal God"—one who has given you "assurance
of all sins forgiven," one who "fills your life with inner peace and
joy." But when you tell your classmates that you are "saved" or
"born again" they are likely either to be totally ignorant of your
words or else visualize raising a hand and walking down "the sawdust
trail." Is Christianity merely this ? Or is it a change from a life filled
with selfish desires, ambitions, and plans, to one where you give
yourself to a greater, wiser, and stronger Person than yourself, to be
used the way He wants ? We know that this last statement contains
what we believe to be truth.
Christians in modern schools, therefore, must show that our faith
is real and joyous to us, as well as rational and practical. Are we equal
to the task ? With God's help and guidance we can do it.
Evolution in Schools Debated
The question of teaching evolution in schools is headed for the
legislature of Colorado. The Rev. Gladden William James, head of
the Foundation for the Authenticity of the Bible and for Religious
Liberty, has backed the action on the basis of the first amendment
of the U. S. Constitution, dealing with separation of church and state.
When asked whether he considered the teaching of evolution a
subject of religious nature, the Rev. James said, "I certainly do. The
teaching of evolution is a question of religion; it is not one of science."
"However," he concluded, "we don't mind having books by Darwin
and other evolutionists in the libraries, because that's following the
idea of freedom of speech and press. Our complaint is lodged against
actually teaching it in the classrooms, or using those books as text-books."
J. G. Mackie, state legislator from Boulder, Colorado, took the
opposite view and added, "This is not something for the legislature
to decide. The university should have its choice of what subjects it
wishes to teach."

Brunettes can make a lovely picture in bright, startling colors.
I cannot agree that a Christian girl should wear dark, drab clothes
when they hide most of her natural beauty. A woman's beauty is as
much a gift of God as a talent such as art, music, or high learning
powers. Why picture Christianity as breeding a group of drab, unin-teresting
people ? Christianity naturally makes an attractive fellow
by taking away bad habits and making him clean cut. It shouldn't
have the opposite effect on the girl. With good taste she can become
pleasing and a good advertisement for our way of life.

One of a series of outstanding freshman
by Bryan Harris
During my school career I have been introduced to some very
interesting teachers ! Recently I began to analyze them and tried to
decide whether they are spies, agnostics, atheists, Communists or some-thing
else (because I read a newspaper report that Communists are
infiltrating our schools). Therefore, we students must be extremely
cautious and suspicious of our teachers. If I had known about this
Communist infiltration sooner I am sure I could have helped to reveal
Communist spies.
I remember an experience in the first grade. When my turn came
to read, I never agreed with what the teacher said was there. She
finally gave up and asked me to stay after school. My tender heart
broke over such humiliation and I began to cry. A girl saw me crying
and immediately reported it to the teacher. The seed of disloyalty to
each other had already been planted among the pupils. The teacher
questioned me to find out the reason for my crying, but I refused to
tell her. She showed no anger nor did she use any third degree methods
on me because of my refusal. She cleverly concealed any signs of her
Communistic tendencies. She never even mentioned sending me to
In my sixth grade room hung a large picture of a bear invad-ing
the campsite of a fisherman. Was that picture not a cunning en-deavor
to keep in front of us the animal which is the emblem of Russia ?
My final year in grade school provided another experience. The
mathematics teacher had several characteristics which prove to me
that he must have been associated with espionage. He was a small man,
but well built, with black, wavy hair. His eyes were dark and piercing.
His voice was strong and loud. He was a good teacher and knew the
subject. But he was so clever that under ordinary circumstances it would
be difficult to see that he was a Communist spy if he had not had a
special habit. Whenever a student was asked a question and did not
know the correct answer, the teacher loudly bellowed, "NO!" The
volume of his voice made the "no" more emphatic. I often wondered
why the teacher did this, but now I know. The teacher had to release
the tensions that espionage created in him. Thus he shouted at us.
If I had known at the time what these experiences meant to the
welfare of our country, I would have written Senator McCarthy. He
and his committee, I am sure, would have found sufficient evidence of
Party affiliations and then our school system would have been freed
from the Red menace.
2V'at'd e'aftet to Va

What does the average Bethelite get out of chapel ? It's not hard
to find out, by listening a little, that students are not much impressed
by chapel and chapel speakers. A speaker is labeled by his perform-ance:
"too emotional;" "not very logical in a couple of points;" or the
worst blot of all, "he was boring."
College is a place to learn to be critical. But are we criticizing
the right thing ? To judge by discussions of chapel speakers that I
have heard, what the man says is nothing; how he says it is every-thing.
Even Dr. Bob's great appeal to a few does not stem from the
truth he preaches nearly so much as from his fascinating delivery.
If the chapel is an entertainment hour, let's make it good enter-tainment.
Let's have none but the best speakers. Let's introduce lec-tures,
readings, plays and what have you—none but the best. But if the
basic purpose of chapel is religious, let's come to chapel determined to
find some truth, however worn and familiar, on which we can meditate

now I'm a big lazy senior sos all i have to do is doodle my thumbs
and let the busibodys get me graduated. i don't mind i don't. in fact,
the only thing better than a lazy senior is a lazy baptist senior. (just
so i don't have to do anything.) the other day the lazy senior class
met—it was the siesta of the year. we voted to be different from the
other senior classes. rather than do something we voted to do nothing.
that's something! dare to be dandy—that's our little motto. anybody
can do something; but not everybody can do nothing—it takes nothing
to start with. the ishie issue of the senior frolick was put on the pole
for flags. it was so greasy the flag wouldn't stay up there. sos we put
the flag on the flag table to be tabled til it's too late to do anything
about it. then we won't have to worry about it. there's nothing we'd
rather do. we decided to have outsiders for a senior concert cuz in
years long gone it proves the least of work. guess when we have our
little old vote about the senior gift to the school we'll vote for enduring
love. that's easier than trying to get anything material. well, it'll be
nice to have another senior siesta day—just a month away. we'll be
the most notorious alumni group ever—i'll be glad to be from it—as
far as possible.

Dear Editor:
Just a word about those who
are in charge of special music for
chapel. I'm not at all familiar
with any particular system they
might follow—maybe they don't
want to follow any. But some-times
I surely wonder what's going
to happen next.
It seems that when there is any
special music you can be sure it
will be from just a narrowly sel-ected
few. They are appreciated,
of course.
But why don't they use
some of the other talent for
a little variety ? Why couldn't
some of those who study music
get a little practical experience by
performing in our chapel ? Cer-tainly
it isn't because it wouldn't
be worshipful! I'll bet there are
music profs who could give our
chapel plenty of good variety.
Dear Editor:
In the last issue of the Clarion
there was some sharp criticism of
the playing and coaching in the
Luther (of New Ulm) game. The
difficulty with the criticism was
that it left out a salient fact. Two
key men had three fouls early in
the contest, and this—given the
close calling of the referees at
the time—dictated some action in
reference to substitution. When
this fact is blithely ignored it
gives a very different interpreta-tion
to both the coaching and the
latter playing.
Criticism is a function of jour-nalism,
but not superficial criti-cism.
The above case was either
poor reporting, weak interpreta-tion,
or downright bias. It is
tempting to suggest that in jour-,
nalism as in sports, one must at
times consider substitution—or at
least the calling of a time-out.

Playoffs Set
in Intramurals
The finish of last week's intra-mural
play signaled the comple-tion
of the first round robin. Be-cause
of the lack of time, a second
round robin will not be played.
However, a double elimination
tournament will be held to deter-mine
the over-all champion.
Last week's play found West
dropping Iowa-Platte Valley, 50-
40. Southern Minnesota edged
East, 52-51. Northern Minnesota
rallied to beat Michigan-Wiscon-sin,
46-38, and Chicago hung up
their first victory by downing Ill-inois,
In a play-off of a previous tie,
Iowa-Platte Valley canned Nor-thern
Minnesota, 56-51. Thus, the
round robin ended with four teams
tying for first place. Iowa, West,
Northern Minnesota, and Southern
Minnesota all finished with a 5
won - 2 lost record.
Last Call for
Spring Sports
Coach Del Ray Peterson is giv-ing
his last call for men to par-ticipate
in spring sports. He said
there will be an organizational

Bethel Stunned
by Arch Rival
Northwestern scraped by Bethel 79-74 Tuesday, Feb. 8, in a typical
Royal - Eagle contest. Northwestern led almost all the way once they
overcame a 6 - 0 deficit, although they never held an advantage of more
than 5 points. The closeness of the game gave the overflowing crowd
much to cheer about, but the bus
of Bethelites came home gravely
Conrad scored 26 points, hitting
a good percentage of his set shots,
and Helander meshed 17, but the
team couldn't get a consistent of-fense
rolling, being unable to con-vert
even free throws regularly.
Fouls played a very important
part in the game. In the first half
the players were practically foul-free,
but Rekstad, Burlson, and
Helander all fouled out before the
final buzzer. Helander left with
less than a minute to go but Rek-stad
had four fouls early in the
second half, which took away some
of his effectiveness. Burlson went
out with about four minutes to go.
Even so, Bethel had more gift
shots; but they were unable to
capitalize on them. It was as bitter
a defeat for Peterson's men as it
was a sweet victory for North-western.
The cry around campus
(as in Brooklyn) is "Wait 'til
next time!", which will be next
Thursday, Feb. 17, on Bethel's
home floor.
Sprink's Spurts
Recently expressed sentiments by some of the basketball players
convey the feeling that the Bethelites aren't supporting the team with
attendance at games. There seems to be one small segment of loyal
and enthusiastic rooters who turn out every game to spur the team on.
However, the majority of Bethelites take a very passive and nominal
interest in attendance and cheering. This lack of interest proves dis-couraging,
not only to the players, but to our very fine and effective
We realize that it might be physically impossible for some of our
students and faculty to express themselves vocally, while at games, but
it is within the realm of possibility for all of us to attend the games.
A well-timed display of enthusiasm and support by our Bethel
crowd might have urged the team on to some clutch ball-playing, which
could have easily resulted in several more victories.
Three home games, one which is Northwestern, remain to be
played this season. A large, noisy, enthusiastic, and vigorous home
crowd would do much in bringing home three winners.
Thought for the Day: Northwestern Bible School has won only four
of the last eleven games played with Bethel.
Day Brightener: Dale Larson is playing guard on this year's base-ball
team, while "Ole" Anderson is playing pinchhitter.

Royals Yield, 93-85
to River Falls Team
River Falls State Teachers Col-lege
of Wisconsin toppled the
Bethel Royals, 93-85, on the Bethel
home court last Saturday night.
However, the outcome of the game
was in doubt until the waning
minutes. And in the first half, the
Royals gave one of their best per-formances
of the season, leaving
the court at half-time with a four
point lead.
Although the Falcons outscored
the Royals in the final period, the
game was close; River Falls had
their second-half lead threatened
several times by the persistent
Royals. Outstanding for Bethel in
the shooting department were
Frank Burleson and Bill Conrad.
Burleson garnered 31 points from
his forward position to take high
point honors for the evening. Con-rad's
two-handed set shots from
the guard spot added another 20
points to the Bethel scoreboard.

Does enybody know where can I find some Forensic challenges sites?
Try www.tigertools.net/contest.htm
speaking of challenges, if you wanted a website to have any kind of challenges, what would some be? I mean, an example, and no i dont want another site because we are going to do different stuff, we just want to know what the people want and we can do them!
Well, these forensic challenges seem to be cool (i.e. analyzing network traffic or a weird binary file), breaking encryptions, and, why not, a network security contest? (i.e. you are given a network and you should make changes, add stuff, to increase its security)...
in reply to er0k
I would like to see a site where you would first get something like the easier challenges from say:
Once you have passed the site restrictions you would find (instructions for obtaining) some image and or project.
This could either be some sort of packet log or maybe something like the challenges 24 and 26 on the project.honeynet.org site. You could use the AO site to find examples of problems.
The site should have some sort of points sytem to award point (although you will always find cheaters) and have it contents 'refreshed' every now and then.
It could be something like a monthly or quarterly thing and mention the 'winners' in the AO newsletter. (should this be posted in 'site suggestions ?)
I know I would visit. I love these challenges.
Here's a great place to go to for forensic challenges.
no0dle, you may already have heard of this site: Mod-X
Here is a breif description:
Mod-X is a fictional online game. In Mod-X you will become one of the Mod-X 'agents' and have to solve any tasks that the Mod-X team give you. As you will see the story revolves around a break in to some of the Mod-X systems, and you are the only one who can beat the intruder. Mod-X has a number of levels you must pass, starting off easy and working up to some hard challenges. You will be tested on everything from javascript/encryptions/encodings to daemon vulnerabilities/disassembling/http knowledge...and most importantly, common sense!
Want to see how others have done? Check out the Mod-X rankings.
I would like to state that this site is not about hacking - or in any way related with hacking. Although the game involves you breaking encryptions, and solving computer security problems - these are made up by us. There are no links to hacking sites on these pages, and no information about hacking is present. This is purely and simply a game...and the story is entirely fictitious.
I've only completed the first level here so I can't tell you much about it. If you haven't already... it's worth checking out.
Go Finland!
Deviant Gallery
Thanks for the link math. I will dig into it later.
I see a game: uplink
u are a hacker/cracker & receive some instructions and gain $ and buy a new machine, and so..
it's fun!

Good morning.
The Aussies are drinking up a summertime market rally while U.S. traders hover in a pre-Christmas fiscal-cliff malaise ahead of word on jobless claims and reports from Research in Motion and Nike.
If you're looking to add some spice to your end-of-year countdown, there should be plenty of money to be made — or, of course, lost — by engaging in the patent wars. Specifically, take a look at VirnetX, our "call of the day" below, whose short-term performance hinges on a key court ruling involving Apple.
Or maybe, as Steven Rattner suggests, you could play it a bit safer and buy what the government is selling. In this case, that's General Motors, the Detroit car maker that suddenly finds itself "on the road alone."
Key market gauges: The S&P/ASX /quotes/zigman/1653884 AU:XJO in Sydney rose to its highest level in 17 months, while the Nikkei /quotes/zigman/5986735 JP:100000018 failed to catch a lift from the Bank of Japan's announcement of the expansion of its asset-purchase program.
Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/8750714 DJZ2 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/3102232 SPZ2 are flat-lining while crude-oil prices /quotes/zigman/2291766 CLG3 dips as hope continues to fade that the powers-that-be will finally hammer out a debt deal by year end.
The economy: Initial jobless claims, due at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, are expected to reach 360,000 from last week's surprisingly low 343,000 mark. We'll also get the final reading of third-quarter GDP and a look at the annualized rate for sales of existing homes. Read: What to watch on the U.S. economy on Thursday.
Earnings: Research in Motion /quotes/zigman/18534 /quotes/nls/rimm RIMM will post its quarterly results this afternoon with all eyes on whether the BlackBerry handheld device maker has been able to hold on to its user base and cash ahead of the launch of its new operating platform. Read the full earnings preview.
It's been a massive year for the homebuilders, with KB Home /quotes/zigman/274921 /quotes/nls/kbh KBH trading at $16.66 after starting 2012 near $6 and Lennar /quotes/zigman/232035 /quotes/nls/len LEN doubling over the same time frame. First to report results, KB posted higher revenue to go along with a 44% drop in profit. Lennar will follow a bit later.
Nike /quotes/zigman/235840 /quotes/nls/nke NKE will report its results amid what appears to be a slowing U.S. footwear business. The stock is lagging the market in a big way, and the Swoosh brand is "struggling to regain its glory days." Money manager Brian Gilmartin on Seeking Alpha says he loves Nike but is waiting on lower prices before he takes a bigger position in the stock.
The buzz: GM /quotes/zigman/1466682 /quotes/nls/gm GM is shedding its Government Motors nickname, and its stock is screeching around levels not seen in more than a year. Is it worth buying? Yes, according to financier and former car czar Steven Rattner. "GM stock remains undervalued, trading at about 7 times its projected 2013 earnings, compared with nearly 13 for the stock market as whole," he wrote in The New York Times last night.
Other top-trending tickers include SodaStream /quotes/zigman/710745 /quotes/nls/soda SODA , Alexza Pharma /quotes/zigman/10443481 /quotes/nls/alxa ALXA and U.S. Steel /quotes/zigman/295713 /quotes/nls/x X . The Vanguard MSCI European ETF /quotes/zigman/1490143 /quotes/nls/vgk VGK is also popping up on the radar, and MarketWatch contributor Michael Gayed is calling financials in the region "the mother of all buying opportunities."
Taking the biggest premarket beating, shares of Amicus Therapeutics /quotes/zigman/102267 /quotes/nls/fold FOLD (yes, the ticker is actually FOLD) are getting cut in half after the company and GlaxoSmithKline /quotes/zigman/146635 /quotes/nls/gsk GSK both said that a late-stage study of a treatment for Fabry disease didn't meet its primary goal.
Heading in the other direction, Eloqua /quotes/zigman/11276290 /quotes/nls/eloq ELOQ shares are up some 30% on word of a buyout from Oracle /quotes/zigman/76584 /quotes/nls/orcl ORCL .
The chart of the day: Yardeni Research President and Chief Investment Strategist Ed Yardeni says this chart reminds him of "a striking characteristic of the latest three bull markets." That being the best-performing group tends to outperform all the others from the beginning to the end of the cycle. This time around, that sector is consumer discretionary, and Yardeni says he expects the trend to continue next year.
The call of the day: The Fly on the iBankCoin blog says today is "the BIG day" for VirnetX /quotes/zigman/1510105 /quotes/nls/vhc VHC shareholders. "The company has been in mediation with the thieves over at AAPL," he wrote. "Tomorrow it all ends and the good judge will rule." He's looking for some "magnanimous" returns but isn't afraid of weakness. "If you are scared … go ahead and hedge your position with puts or sell some," The Fly wrote. "I am prepared to endure some downside, as long as the core story remains the same."
Last week, CNBC's Jim Cramer talked about the stock as an intriguing speculative play, but warned that it's "basically reasoned gambling." He said the upside is huge because patent infringement lawsuits are "where the big money is."
Random reads: The Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL obsession, the smoking-hot homebuilders trade, the chase for yield and the index vs. active debate were the biggest investor themes this year, according to The Reformed Broker. Check out the full story.
Christmas shopping bumming you out as much as it is me? Well, apparently we got it good compared to the 1958 consumer. For example, to buy a toaster, TV and stereo system back then, the Average Joe would have to work 185 hours. Today, he'd only have to toil for about 27 hours.
If Santa were a real company, he'd need to hire 40 times FedEx's workforce to meet demand, including 100 meterologists and 400,000 workers in 46 distribution centers, according to NPR's Planet Money.

How to Find a Insert Molding in Afton ?
Whether the fabricator's store is large or small, the Ironworker is the backbone. The Ironworker isn't a single machine; it is five machines united into an engineering wonder. It has much more versatility than most people would imagine. The five working sections that are involved in the make-up of this machine are a punch, a section shear, a bar shear, a plate shear, and a coper-notcher.
A number of the cheaper ironworkers are constructed to employ a fulcrum where the ram shakes back and forth, making the punch go into the succumb at a small angle. This normally leads to the erosion of the punch and die on the front rims. The higher quality machines integrate a ram which moves in a direct vertical line and employs modifiable gibs and guides to insure a constant traveling route.
When you look for a End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) that develop a Insert Molding in Afton, looks for experience and not only pricing.
That dedicates more life to the tooling, and allows the punch to penetrate the die right in the middle in order to capitalize on the machine's total tonnage.
When looking for a design house that designs a Insert Molding in Afton don't look just in Michigan , other States also have great providers.
Financial Talent is Pivoting to Blockchain and Crypto Startups?
The importance of automation and robots in all manufacturing industries is growing. Industrial robots have replaced human beings in a wide variety of industries. Robots out perform humans in jobs that require precision, speed, endurance and reliability. Robots safely perform dirty and dangerous jobs. Traditional manufacturing robotic applications include material handling (pick and place), assembling, painting, welding, packaging, palletizing, product inspection and testing. Industrial robots are used in a diverse range of industries including automotive, electronics, medical, food production, biotech, pharmaceutical and machinery.
The ISO definition of a manipulating industrial robot is "an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator". According to the definition it can be fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications. These industrial robots are programmable in three or more axes. They are multi-functional pieces of equipment that can be custom-built and programmed to perform a variety of operations.
Industrial robots fill the need for greater precision, reliability, flexibility and production output in the increasingly competitive and complex manufacturing industry environment.
Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT is a form of psychological acupressure which uses tapping of the fingertips on specific areas of the body to relieve the emotional trauma of past events, addictions, pain, etc - as well, EFT is used as a powerful addition to positive affirmations. Learning EFT takes less than a minute and its contribution to mental health and happiness is nothing less than astonishing. You need not take anyone's word for it. In minutes you can learn and see for yourself if EFT really works. If you love yourself, or want to, EFT is for you!
Authors note: The main, companion article to "Emotional Freedom Technique - A core tool in Rapid Enlightenment," is "Rapid Enlightenment - A rapid guide to lifelong happiness" which is the core article introducing the simple and powerful, three step process of Rapid Enlightenment (To Recognize, Remove, and Relearn) your way to lifelong happiness. EFT is just one of the three essential components to the practice of Rapid Enlightenment.
There are many online examples of techniques and uses for EFT and further exploration is highly recommended. Included below is a simple introduction and hypothetical example of EFT in action. From this example you can use your own mind and creativity to substitute any negative feeling, memory, belief or situation that has been interfering with your happiness. So here we go...
Janet is afraid of dogs and has been since the day she was badly bitten by a neighborhood dog when she was seven. Since that day this long standing memory has caused many panic attacks when she is around, or even thinks about dogs. She often goes blocks out of her way to avoid dogs and social situations where dogs might be present. She has behaved like this for the last twenty-five years.
Janet will use EFT on the long standing memory of being bitten by the neighbor's dog. The idea is to attack the source of the suffering, in this case, the initial traumatizing event. By doing so, all of the emotions that sprang from this past event will also be affected - similar to destroying a tree by cutting out the root, rather than cutting off the tree's branches.
Using all of the senses of her mind, Janet recalls the traumatizing event. In her mind she becomes that little girl - seeing and feeling everything that little girl felt. Instantly she becomes ill at ease. She takes an emotional severity rating of the memory, of how much the memory makes her suffer. She rates it a ten. The most severe it could be. Nevertheless, she is in a safe place and knows she is only recalling the memory and it is not actually happening.
With the memory in full bloom, she begins tapping with her fingertips on the specific nerve centers listed below. The following is an example order of tapping but it can be in any order that feels most comfortable.
How would you be without your fears? Without those emotions that feel so real but serve only to leave you in the many states of suffering? Eliminate suffering and fear and you eliminate the corrupted thinking that is blocking your happiness.
There are two important clarifications regarding tapping. The first is to always remain attentive (self-aware) to tapping only negative feelings, memories, beliefs or situations. The mind has a habit of jumping from thought to thought quickly. Often our minds can jump from a negative state of suffering to a positive state of happiness without warning. When you observe this happening, stop tapping immediately! Take a few calming breaths and generally distract yourself before proceeding. For obvious reasons you do not want to tap towards the diminishing or removal of positive, emotional states.
Positive feelings, memories, beliefs or situations are those emotions that you know do not cause yourself or others to suffer. Every other kind of emotion can be considered, "ready to go!"
The second important clarification is to again remain attentive (self-aware) and to recognize the difference between a reasonable belief of danger and an unreasonable belief of danger. Tapping away our fear of any feeling, memory, belief or situation may leave your rational instincts more capable of judging the situation but it does not mean real danger no longer exists. To a large degree we are taking conscious control of your fight or flight instincts. Take this responsibility very seriously!
For example, tapping combined with misguided pride may keep you from handing your wallet or purse over to an armed thug, but by resisting you may increase the odds of the thug harming you. Your first priority is to protect your body at all costs. Having no fear combined with misguided pride or negligent thinking may jeopardize your body. But having sensible fear and sensible instincts means you exit the situation safely first, followed by the appropriate actions. In any situation, ALWAYS be aware of what you are doing! Do not get lazy, arrogant or overconfident!

Loosen limits on chickens
They may ruffle some feathers, but Gloversville officials should consider changing how the city code treats chickens.
A Gloversville resident recently spoke to the Common Council about the code's classification of chickens as farm animals. The code prohibits farm animals on properties smaller than five acres, which excludes most residential plots.
What that means is while chickens are not explicitly banned, for all intents and purposes, they are not allowed.
However, members of the council said they will look at and discuss the code before making a decision about allowing more city residents to have chickens.
The council members are right to review the code. While other concerns may be higher on the pecking order, it's good for the council to occasionally study laws that haven't gotten a look in some time.
State law says anyone buying baby chicks must buy them in batches of six or more at a time because the animals thrive in groups.
There are good reasons for the city to regulate where the animals can be allowed. An apartment is not a proper home for a group of chickens, and noise and odor concerns mean some yard space would be required to keep the neighbors happy.
While the sight of chickens strutting around the yard is associated with rural life, more and more cities and suburban municipalities are allowing residents to keep small broods of hens.
Residents of several Capital Region communities have been fighting their municipal governments to get permission for keeping hens in small numbers.
Roosters are not welcome in densely populated areas, where their ear-piercing crowing tends to upset neighbors.
We wouldn't advocate the city loosen restrictions on roosters, but we think officials should reduce the amount of space needed for people to own hens for laying eggs. The city could have a rigorous permit system to ensure authorities know who has the animals.
Considering the city allows people to keep dogs – which can cause plenty of noise, mess and even dangerous situations – we think Gloversville can find a way to let more people keep chickens without making the city a foul place.

I have 7 main family lines filed under the letter B, plus a ton of my relatives married people with B surnames. The letter B took a while to get through, but it did not disappoint.
Here are just a few of the gems I found in the Bs:
- Found the obituary of Catherine Bank, wife of John Weis in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania newspapers. I was also able to track them down in the census and city directories after I found their address in the obituary. Thanks to Leslie Lawson for the obit lookup.
- Realized that a family history had spelled a woman's first name incorrectly. It's Ursula Barrows, now Visula. Then I was able to find her marriage to James Madison Washburn and track the family through the census.
- Found marriage records for Margaret Bascom's daughter, Katherine Elizabeth Smith, which led me to finding Margaret in the 1900, 1910, and 1920 censuses, Indianapolis directories and a second husband. Still need to find the second marriage though.
- Finally put together everything I had gathered on Fanny Bascom and was able to follow her children around St. Louis, Missouri after her death in the 1840s.
- Found the marriage of Philo Dibble Bates and Ann Magdalene Whitmore in Ontario. Then I found Ann's death in British Columbia.
- Tracked the John Bower and Maria Katharina Schilling family in census records and found John in the same cemetery as his wife. Imagine that!

Techonomy: How Mobile Is "Incredibly Disruptive" to Retail
"Mobile bringing the Web to the store is incredibly disruptive," said Gibu Thomas, senior vice president of strategy and ecommerce at Walmart, at this week's Techonomy conference. The advent of the Internet has brought stores to the home, he explained, but this is very different, and other panelists agreed about the changes to shopping. Almost every part of our lives has been transformed by mobile, but retail really hasn't changed so far, he said. Until now, that is.
Indeed, all of the phases of commerce are changing, said American Express's Dan Schulman, thanks to the mobile phone tied to a software platform and linked together by data. It's much more than a form factor change. Instead of tapping your phone at the point of sale, he said, imagine tapping it when you walk into a store, exposing your "personalized commerce identity," which includes the brands and products you like, on an opt-in basis. Then we can start to expose customers to coupons and offers. Couponing is a $500 billion industry that is incredibly inefficient, he said, and it will fundamentally change how retailers, product makers, and consumers interact with each other.
James Barrese of PayPal is seeing a very rapid adoption of these new technologies by consumers, and retailers are willing to experiment.
On payments and NFC, Thomas said the big question is whether it is solving a real problem for the customer. What Starbucks is doing with a digital wallet (not via NFC) is working because it handles other problems, in addition to payment. If you introduce a new middleman in mobile payments, a retailer is giving up the data it already has, Thomas said, and eventually increasing transaction costs. If you follow where the customer wants to go, you'll get it right.
Thomas and Schulman talked about the Bluebird initiative Walmart set up with American Express, which has created an alternative to checking and debit for customers who are unbanked or under-banked and who pay many fees for access to their money. With this digital product, you can add money at any Walmart card and use it either as a debit card or through online banking.
The panelists tried to sidestep the issue of whether NFC is dead when pressed by moderator Erick Schonfeld of DEMO, but most didn't sound very positive toward the technology. Barrese said there are new technologies that are less expensive, but Shulman said the "jury is out" because it takes four to six years to replace the terminals out there and therefore more people who have NFC in their phones can't find a terminal that uses it. Walmart has done NFC pilots in other countries. "Press releases aren't a proxy for real-world adoption," Thomas said.
Barrese talked about how mobile phones are "opening up a new channel" and these are extremely powerful devices that have information about where you are, your preferences, and your payment methods. For every new product, he said, PayPal is looking at mobile first. PayPal is betting that mobile will be over 50 percent of its business within a few years.
Walmart has applications that enable online shopping outside of the store, but that are also valuable within a store by offering product location information and deals. As a result, Thomas said, people are using the same application in multiple ways. Twelve percent of customers are "showrooming" within Walmart, meaning they browse in a store but actually buy from the Walmart website because the online store has broader inventory. Being able to combine the two channels lets Walmart create an unparalleled shopping experience.
Mobile presents a new and better way of helping us engage customers, Barrese said.
Schulman talked about getting personalized offers and deals to the customers when they want them. This isn't always going to be price deals, he said, but may deal with other ways of making shopping more efficient. He talked about loyalty programming, giving retailers better ways of communicating with their customers than the traditional cards that people carry around.
Thomas discussed how much more effective advertising might be if, for example, you got coupons for Huggies when you were in the diaper aisle. Today, if you are looking for a toy for an eight-year-old boy but don't know exactly what to get, it is often easier to shop online. The new technology, however, makes it easier to do that within a physical store.
Asked about Square, Barrese said the question is what customer problem it is solving. Thomas talked about being able to use it in a cab in a smaller town, so in that case, it works for him.
Asked about Amazon, PayPal's Barrese and Amex's Schulman said their tools might help smaller vendors compete with Amazon, while Thomas talked about how Walmart is now trying things such as same-day shipping. "There's a complete convergence between online and offline going on now," Schulman said. Every time customers walk into a retail store, he said, they carry with them the same information they have at their computer.

Danube River, German Donau, Slovak Dunaj, Hungarian Duna, Serbo-Croatian and Bulgarian Dunav, Romanian Dunărea, Ukrainian Dunay, river, the second longest in Europe after the Volga. It rises in the Black Forest mountains of western Germany and flows for some 1,770 miles (2,850 km) to its mouth on the Black Sea. Along its course it passes through 10 countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine.
The Danube played a vital role in the settlement and political evolution of central and southeastern Europe. Its banks, lined with castles and fortresses, formed the boundary between great empires, and its waters served as a vital commercial highway between nations. The river's majesty has long been celebrated in music. The famous waltz An der schönen, blauen Donau (1867; The Blue Danube), by Johann Strauss the Younger, became the symbol of imperial Vienna. In the 21st century the river has continued its role as an important trade artery. It has been harnessed for hydroelectric power, particularly along the upper courses, and the cities along its banks—including the national capitals of Vienna (Austria), Budapest (Hungary), and Belgrade (Serbia)—have depended upon it for their economic growth.
Physical features
The Danube's vast drainage of some 315,000 square miles (817,000 square km) includes a variety of natural conditions that affect the origins and the regimes of its watercourses. They favour the formation of a branching, dense, deepwater river network that includes some 300 tributaries, more than 30 of which are navigable. The river basin expands unevenly along its length. It covers about 18,000 square miles (47,000 square km) at the Inn confluence, 81,000 square miles (210,000 square km) after joining with the Drava, and 228,000 square miles (590,000 square km) below the confluences of its most affluent tributaries, the Sava and the Tisza. In the lower course the basin's rate of growth decreases. More than half of the entire Danube basin is drained by its right-bank tributaries, which collect their waters from the Alps and other mountain areas and contribute up to two-thirds of the total river runoff or outfall.
Three sections are discernible in the river's basin. The upper course stretches from its source to the gorge called the Hungarian Gates, in the Austrian Alps and the Western Carpathian Mountains. The middle course runs from the Hungarian Gates Gorge to the Iron Gate in the Southern Romanian Carpathians. The lower course flows from the Iron Gate to the deltalike estuary at the Black Sea.
The upper Danube springs as two small streams—the Breg and Brigach—from the eastern slopes of the Black Forest mountains of Germany, which partially consist of limestone. From Donaueschingen, where the headstreams unite, the Danube flows northeastward in a narrow, rocky bed. To the north rise the wooded slopes of the Swabian and the Franconian mountains. Between Ingolstadt and Regensburg the river forms a scenic canyonlike valley. To the south of the river course stretches the large Bavarian Plateau, covered with thick layers of river deposits from the numerous Alpine tributaries. The bank is low and uniform, composed mainly of fields, peat, and marshland.
At Regensburg the Danube reaches its northernmost point, from which it veers south and crosses wide, fertile, and level country. Shortly before it reaches Passau on the Austrian border, the river narrows and its bottom abounds with reefs and shoals. The Danube then flows through Austrian territory, where it cuts into the slopes of the Bohemian Forest and forms a narrow valley. In order to improve navigation, dams and protecting dikes have been built near Passau, Linz, and Ardagger. The upper Danube, some 600 miles (965 km) long, has a considerable average inclination of the riverbed (0.93 percent) and a rapid current of two to five miles per hour. Depths vary from 3 to 26 feet (1 to 8 metres). The Danube swells substantially at Passau where the Inn River, its largest upstream tributary, carries more water than the main river. Other major tributaries in the upper Danube course include the Iller, Lech, Isar, Traun, Enns, and Morava rivers.
In its middle course the Danube looks more like a flatland river, with low banks and a bed that reaches a width of more than one mile. Only in two sectors—at Visegrád (Hungary) and at the Iron Gate—does the river flow through narrow canyonlike gorges. The basin of the middle Danube exhibits two main features: the flatland of the Little Alfold and Great Alfold plains and the low peaks of the Western Carpathians and Transdanubian Mountains.
The Danube enters the Little Alfold plain immediately after emerging from the Hungarian Gates Gorge near Bratislava, Slovakia. There the river stream slows down abruptly and loses its transporting capacity, so that enormous quantities of gravel and sand settle on the bottom. A principal result of this deposition has been the formation of two islands, one on the Slovak side of the river and the other on the Hungarian side, which combined have an area of about 730 square miles (1,900 square km) that support some 190,000 inhabitants in more than 100 settlements. The silting hampers navigation and occasionally divides the river into two or more channels. East of Komárno the Danube enters the Visegrád Gorge, squeezed between the foothills of the Western Carpathian and the Hungarian Transdanubian Mountains. The steep right bank is crowned with fortresses, castles, and cathedrals of the Hungarian Árpád dynasty of the 10th to 15th century.
The Danube then flows past Budapest, and across the vast Great Alfold plain, traversing Croatia, Serbia, and Romania until it reaches the Iron Gate gorge. The riverbed is shallow and marshy, and low terraces stretch along both banks. River accumulation has built a large number of islands, including Csepel Island near Budapest. In this long stretch the river takes on the waters of its major tributaries—the Drava, the Tisza, and the Sava—which create substantial changes in the river's regime. The average runoff increases from about 83,000 cubic feet (2,400 cubic metres) per second north of Budapest to 200,000 cubic feet (5,600 cubic metres) at the Iron Gate. The river valley looks most imposing there, and the river's depth and current velocity fluctuate widely. The rapids and reefs of the Iron Gate once made the river unnavigable until a lateral navigation channel and a parallel railway allowed rivercraft to be towed upstream against the strong current.
Beyond the Iron Gate the lower Danube flows across a wide plain; the river becomes shallower and broader, and its current slows down. To the right, above steep banks, stretches the tableland of the Danubian Plain of Bulgaria. To the left lies the low Romanian Plain, which is separated from the main stream by a strip of lakes and swamps. The tributaries in this section are comparatively small and account for only a modest increase in the total runoff. They include the Olt, the Siret, and the Prut. The river is again obstructed by a number of islands. Just south of Cernavodă, the Danube heads northward until it reaches Galați, where it veers abruptly eastward, its left bank briefly traversing Moldovan territory. Near Tulcea, Romania, some 50 miles (80 km) from the sea, the river begins to spread out into its delta.
The river splits into three channels: the Chilia, which carries 63 percent of the total runoff; the Sulina, which accounts for 16 percent; and the Sfântu Gheorghe (St. George), which carries the remainder. Navigation is possible only by way of the Sulina Channel, which has been straightened and dredged along its 39-mile (63-km) length. Between the channels, a maze of smaller creeks and lakes are separated by oblong strips of land called grinduri. Most grinduri are arable and cultivated, and some are overgrown with tall oak forests. A large quantity of reeds that grow in the shallow-water tracts are used in the manufacture of paper and textile fibres. The Danube delta covers an area of some 1,660 square miles (4,300 square km) and is a comparatively young formation. About 6,500 years ago the delta site was a shallow cove of the Black Sea coast, but it was gradually filled by river-borne silt; the delta continues to grow seaward at the rate of 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30 metres) annually.
The different physical features of the river basin affect the amount of water runoff in its three sections. In the upper Danube the runoff corresponds to that of the Alpine tributaries, where the maximum occurs in June when melting of snow and ice in the Alps is the most intensive. Runoff drops to its lowest point during the winter months.
In the middle basin the phases last up to four months, with two runoff peaks in June and April. The June peak stems from that of the upper course, reaching its maximum 10 to 15 days later. The April peak is local. It is caused by the addition of waters from the melting snow in the plains and from the early spring rains of the lowland and the low mountains of the area. Rainfall is important. The period of low water begins in October and reflects the dry spells of summer and autumn that are characteristic of the low plains. In the lower basin all Alpine traits disappear completely from the river regime. The runoff maximum occurs in April, and the low point extends to September and October.
The river carries considerable quantities of solid particles, nearly all of which consist of quartz grains. The constant shift of deposits in different parts of the riverbed forms shoals. In the stretches between Bratislava and Komárno and in the Sulina Channel, draglines are constantly at work to maintain the depth needed for navigation. The damming of the river has also changed the way in which sediments are transported and deposited. Water impounded by reservoirs generally loses its silt load, and the water flowing out of the dam—which is relatively silt-free—erodes banks farther downstream.
The temperature of the river waters depends on the climate of the various parts of the basin. In the upper course, where the summer waters derive from the Alpine snow and glaciers, the water temperature is low. In the middle and lower reaches, summer temperatures vary between 71 and 75 °F (22 and 24 °C), while winter temperatures near the banks and on the surface drop below freezing. Upstream from Linz the Danube never freezes entirely, because the current is turbulent. The middle and lower courses, however, become icebound during severe winters. Between December and March, periods of ice drift combine with the spring thaw, causing floating ice blocks to accumulate at the river islands, jamming the river's course, and often creating major floods.
The natural regime of river runoff changes constantly as a result of the introduction of stream-regulating equipment, including dams and dikes. The mineral content of the river is greater during the winter than the summer. The content of organic matter is relatively low, but pollution increases as the waters flow past industrial areas. The river's chemistry also changes as city sewerage and agricultural runoff find their way into the river.
The economy
The Danube is of great economic importance to the 10 countries that border it—Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany—all of which variously use the river for freight transport, the generation of hydroelectricity, industrial and residential water supplies, irrigation, and fishing. The movement of freight is the most important economic use of the Danube. Among the major ports are such cities as Izmayil, Ukraine; Galați and Brăila, Romania; Ruse, Bulgaria; Belgrade, Serbia; Budapest, Hungary; Bratislava, Slovakia; Vienna, Austria; and Regensburg, Germany. Since World War II, navigation has been improved by dredging and by the construction of a series of canals, and river traffic has increased considerably. The most important canals—all elements in a continentwide scheme of connecting waterways—include the Danube–Black Sea Canal, which runs from Cernovadă, Romania, to the Black Sea and provides a more direct and easily navigable link, and the Main–Danube Canal, completed in 1992 to link the Danube to the Rhine and thus to the North Sea.
The Danube has been tapped for power, mainly in its upper course. The process, however, has spread downstream. One of the largest hydroelectric projects—the Ðerdap (Djerdap) High Dam and the Iron Gate power station—was built jointly by Yugoslavia and Romania. Not only does the project produce hydroelectricity, but it also makes navigable what was once one of the most difficult stretches on the river.
Industrial use of Danube waters is made at Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, and Ruse. The main irrigated areas are along the river in Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, and Bulgaria. The river has nearly become unfit for irrigation as well as for drinking water, however, because of the tremendous increase in pollutants; pollution has also diminished the once-rich fishing grounds, although some of the fish have moved to side lakes and swamps.
During the 7th century bce, Greek sailors reached the lower Danube and sailed upstream, conducting a brisk trade. They were familiar with the whole of the river's lower course and named it the Ister. The Danube later served as the northern boundary of the vast Roman Empire and was called the Danuvius. A Roman fleet patrolled its waters, and the strongholds along its shores were the centres of settlements, among them Vindobona (later Vienna), Aquincum (later Budapest), Singidunum (later Belgrade), and Sexantaprista (later Ruse).
During the Middle Ages the old fortresses continued to play an important role, and new castles such as Werfenstein, built by Charlemagne in the 9th century, were erected. When the Ottoman Empire spread from southeastern to central Europe in the 15th century, the Turks relied upon the string of fortresses along the Danube for defense. The Habsburg dynasty recognized the navigational potential of the Danube. Maria Theresa, queen of Hungary and Bohemia from 1740 to 1780, founded a department to oversee river navigation, and in 1830 a riverboat made a first trip from Vienna to Budapest, possibly for trading purposes. That trip marked the end of the river's importance as a line of defense and the beginning of its use as a channel of trade.
Regulated navigation on the Danube has been the subject of a number of international agreements. In 1616 an Austro-Turkish treaty was signed in Belgrade under which the Austrians were granted the right to navigate the middle and lower Danube. In 1774, under the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca, Russia was allowed to use the lower Danube. The Anglo-Austrian and the Russo-Austrian conventions of 1838 and 1840, respectively, promoted free navigation along the entire river, a principle that was more precisely formulated in the Treaty of Paris of 1856, which also set up the first Danubian Commission with the aim of supervising the river as an international waterway. In 1921 and 1923, final approval of the Danube River Statute was granted by Austria, Germany, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Greece. The international Danube Commission was thus established as an authoritative institution with wide powers, including its own flag, the right to levy taxes, and diplomatic immunity for its members. It controlled navigation from the town of Ulm to the Black Sea and kept navigational equipment in good repair.
During World War II, free international navigation along the course of the river was interrupted by the hostilities, and a consensus concerning the resumption of navigation was not reached until the Danubian Convention of 1948. The new convention provided for the Danubian countries alone to participate in a reconstituted Danube Commission; of those countries, only West Germany did not join the convention.

Mass spectrum ion trajectory
Ion tracing program for ion trap Mass Spectrometry chemical sensing
Version 1.1.2 - published on 14 Nov 2014
doi:10.4231/D3DZ03290 cite this
This tool is closed source.
Published on
This ion tracing program uses the 4th order Runge-Kutta Method to solve the ion trajectory inside different types of ion traps with a simple space charge model, including ideal Quadrupole Ion Trap (QIT), Cylindrical Ion Trap (CIT) and Rectilinear Ion Trap (RIT). Using this tool, user can quickly simulate the performance of different types of ion traps. Ion trajectory, Kinetic energy, Ion ejection efficiency and Mass spectrum will be available after simulation.
In the program user has the choices of ideal QIT, optimized CIT and optimized RIT. The dimensions of the ideal QIT can be modified arbitrarily by changing the value of r0 and z0, while the CIT and RIT dimensions can be scale up or scale down by modifying the scale factor.
User need to keep in mind that the applied Radio Frequency (RF) signal frequency and cross section dimensions of any type of ion trap are directly related to the ejection voltage of certain types of ions. The following equations roughly shows this relationship.
RF Ejection Voltage ~ Cross section area of the ion trap * Applied RF frequency^2 * mass charge ratio of the ions
or RF Ejection Voltage ~ scale factor^2 * f(RF)^2 * m/z
Please make sure the values of your inputs (Scale factor, RF frequency, RF sweeping slope and RF start voltage) make sense for the simulation.
Note: the space charge model will slow down the whole simulation process, so it is not recommended if the total number of ions is over 1000.

The former Goldman Sachs Group Inc vice president who publicly accused the bank of taking advantage of unsuspecting clients said he never intended his book to be an expose of practices at the Wall Street firm.
Preliminary reviews of Greg Smith's "Why I Left Goldman Sachs," which hits bookstores on Monday, have been lackluster. Critics say the book contains few revelations, given that it had been hyped as a "tell all" look at the investment bank.
Continue Reading Below
Smith, a native of South Africa, told Reuters in a phone interview on Sunday that his book was not meant to be a manual for change on Wall Street. Instead, he said he wanted to shine a light on what was wrong in investment banking and how ordinary people - not the super-wealthy - pay for it.
"People are looking for something sensationalist and expose-like," said Smith, who sold equity derivatives at Goldman. "I would like people to look at it in a thoughtful manner, with an objective sense that Wall Street has do to things that are right.
"I didn't write this book for Wall Street, I just wanted to give the Main Street people a window into what goes on, so they could make their own judgment."
Smith created a furor earlier this year when he resigned from Goldman, saying in a New York Times op-ed column that the firm had engendered a "toxic" culture of treating clients as "muppets" - slang in Britain for idiots - and relieving them of their money.
Smith then promised the book about the bank, building up expectations of new insights about the culture at Goldman.
Grand Central Publishing, a unit of Hachette, planned a print run of 150,000 copies for the book. That is considered a relatively big number for a first run, although many will also be sold through e-book formats.
The publisher declined to say how much it had paid Smith for the book, but media reports said he had received $1.5 million as an upfront payment.
Smith's op-ed piece and his plans to write a book prompted a public relations campaign and internal inquiries at the bank, as it tried to avoid another hit to its image after suffering a barrage of bad publicity in recent years.
"The Goldman Sachs Mr. Smith describes is not one our employees would recognize," a spokesman for the firm said on Sunday. "Mr. Smith has asked for answers, yet he did not respond to our repeated attempts to contact him after his abrupt departure earlier this year."
Goldman has said it looked into Smith's allegations - including the use of "muppet" in emails - and turned up little. The bank says that unless Smith provides specific examples, it cannot check what he is alleging.
Although "Why I Left Goldman Sachs" does not reveal a new scandal at the firm, Smith said he believed his book shines a spotlight on a worsening culture of greed on Wall Street.
Smith, who worked for Goldman in London, said the company would overcharge customers, such as charities or funds managing the pensions of teachers and firemen, or sell them products they did not need and did not understand.
In some cases, Smith said, traders would use knowledge of the clients' business to make easy bets against them.
"When you're trying to make an extra $2 million off a teachers' retirement fund, it doesn't jive at least with the values that I felt," he said. "There is no criminal activity because it's legal. But it should not be allowed, because it's unethical."
Smith, who quit his $500,000-a-year job at the bank, said he would do more to push for change in finance.
"I am in a rush to spread a message and get mainstream people to realize there is a big problem and to be outraged that no one fixed it," Smith said.
"There is a real absence of people within the financial industry trying to advocate for positive reform," he said. "I would like to try to be part of that conversation."

Missouri (North) and Oklahoma (South) met in San Antonio's Alamodome on Dec. 1 to compete for the league championship and right to represent the Big 12 in the prestigious Bowl Championship Series (BCS). The Sooners defeated the Tigers 38-17 to become the first team in Big 12 history to win consecutive titles.
The 12th annual title game was nationally-televised by ABC Sports in addition to being broadcasted on XM Satellite Radio. The Alamodome hosted the game for the third time (1997, 1999, 2007).
The contest is annually one of the most anticipated in the nation. Previous years have produced some memorable upsets which have affected the college football landscape around the country.
Since the first season of Big 12 play in 1996, the league has sponsored a championship game. Per NCAA guidelines, a conference with 12 members may play a 13th football game to determine a champion, provided the regular season is played in divisions.
The Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship Game has been a huge draw in numerous cities throughout the league. In the 11 previous editions, the contest has been played before a total of more than 750,000 fans in its short history. The 2008 Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship will be played at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium.
