I have the best partner on "Dancing with the Stars" – Louis van Amstel! He's an incredible dancer – a world champion many times over, he's gorgeous, he's hilariously funny, he's a great teacher, he's gay (which I love love love love love love – girl – he is FAMILY)! I couldn't ask for a better person to pair up with. And what is really cool is he is a fan of mine too!
We have been rehearsing daily for hours, and I am so fortunate because he explains things so well, he makes it fun, he really makes me sweat and I am loving every second of it. His body is so perfect. The way he moves is truly inspiring. And he is helping me move! I wish I could show you the small routines he has taught me now – because I cannot believe I am doing them myself. Even two steps together feels like a miracle to me. When we are in sync and dancing together, it feels like we are flying. I have never felt graceful or elegant, but under Louis' strict teaching, I feel like my body is changing, even after just a few days. My body is starting to seem like it knows where to go. We are starting to build momentum – something is happening. At first, I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it, and then suddenly, I can. He repeats the movement until it gets under my skin, and doesn't judge when I fuck it up. When I fall, he picks me up and we start again and then I don't fall. I spin. I turn. It makes me feel alive. It makes me feel like my body is here. It's 41 years old, and it's fucking fantastic.
It's wild to discover new things about yourself at this age. I thought I knew all about what I can do. I really am finding so much out, with these sweaty, sore hours spent in the dance studio. I don't really think about the fact that this is all a competition, I am just so happy I have made a new friend. I am glad that I am lucky enough to have someone show me the beautiful movement I have inside. I cannot wait to dance with him for the world. Thank you so much Louis!!! I am so in love already!!

Subscribers to a topic destination fall into two categories, those with durable and nondurable subscriptions.
Durable subscriptions provide increased reliability but slower throughput, for the following reasons:
The Message Queue message service must persistently store the list of messages assigned to each durable subscription so that should a broker fail, the list is available after recovery.
Persistent messages for durable subscriptions are stored persistently, so that should a broker fail, the messages can still be delivered after recovery, when the corresponding consumer becomes active. By contrast, persistent messages for nondurable subscriptions are not stored persistently (should a broker fail, the corresponding consumer connection is lost and the message would never be delivered).
We compared performance for durable and nondurable subscribers in two cases: persistent and nonpersistent 10k-sized messages. Both cases use AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE acknowledgment mode. We found an effect on performance only in the case of persistent messages which slowed durables by about 30%

Maps for Open Development
Our interest in mapping at the World Bank is strong and growing. Our efforts with Mapping for Results [1], the Bank's Spatial [2] Analysis [2] Lab [2], and the Open [3] Aid [3] Partnership [3] have shown us that location matters and maps help us and our clients make better choices in alleviating poverty. Recent collaboration with citizen mappers in Haiti [4] and Tanzania [5] demonstrate the power of working directly with people to create maps and the utility of geo-data for humanitarian response and planning. Through trial and error, we have learned that open and equitable access to maps is critical not only for crisis response but also for innovation and longer-term development.
For this reason, the World Bank only supports citizen-mapping efforts that give users free access to the map data they create. While citizens are free to choose the projects and tools that best meet their goals, our guiding principle is simple: if the public helps to collect or create map data, the public should be able to access, use and re-use that data freely.
Questions have been raised about our partnership with Google for the use of Map Maker data. The single goal of this joint project is to provide UN agencies and governments faster access to Map Maker data for humanitarian, development and disaster preparedness efforts. Access to Google's map data is an important resource for the World Bank and our development partners and the agreement simplifies this process. Bank staff exercised the partnership in Madagascar and Tajikistan in recent weeks for rapid access to geo-data for disaster preparedness and response.
As we've stated before, however, our agreement does not extend to supporting new citizen mapping activities or data creation through the Google Map Maker platform. Therefore, when it comes to creating map data, we will work with a variety of other mapping platforms consistent with our development objectives, terms of use [6] and guiding principles around open data.

Words: T. Bird
Our location was the definition of isolation. And it was starting to get weird. It was night four, and Oakley Team Manager Chris Hotell awoke to a rather odd scenario: Hushed snickering, what seemed to be a video camera, and a shadowy silhouette standing in the blackness of his room. His bunkmate, (a Mr. Danny Kass), had a simple objective: Sneak into the room, press record, and shart in his face. A "shart" is, for those of you unfamiliar with said slang, a shitting of the pants caused by a mixture of anal relaxation and the placing of deliberate pressure on the sphincter, whether intended or not. An intermingling of feces and fart, hence the name.
Sneak into the room, press record, and shart in his face.
Luckily for Chris, Danny's intentional attempt was unsuccessful, but served as a reminder that we had to keep our guard up at all times while staying in a lodge off Hurley Pass, British Columbia. Cabin fever had set in. Our only outlet was 15,000 acres of endless terrain all to ourselves, two snowcats, a handful of sleds, and a heli on-call. One would assume that this was enough to keep us preoccupied during the daylight hours, and they would be correct in doing so. But come nightfall, boredom-induced boozing seemed to conclude with misbehavior of different varieties, and in turn, I slept lightly, because, well, I didn't want my face to get shit on.
We were approximately forty-five kilometers outside of Pemberton, British Columbia, with the ominous Southern Chilcotins leering down upon us. One morning, Torstein Horgmo, Danny Kass, and Eero Ettala were in a heli briefing while the pilot––a middle aged hefty chum donning a faded ball cap and a silent assurance––sipped his coffee in the front seat, fiddling with buttons, levers, and switches until the machine kicked over and whirred to life. Stepping inside, Kass, Eero, and Torstein were all smiles. This wasn't their first time in a heli, but it was their first time in a heli together, and furthermore, their first time on a feature trip with one another. I'm certain that there were times in their careers when the three were making chit-chat while awaiting their turn to drop into an anonymous slope course, or maybe at an autograph signing in some forgotten mountain town fulfilling their fans' requests by personalizing posters, but this seemed different. Three of the world's most acclaimed snowboarders––a two-time Olympic medalist, a Finnish powerhouse who redefined the essence of the modern-day video pro, and a newly-appointed Norwegian supershred quickly on his way to becoming the most prolific jumper to cross the Atlantic since Jussi and Andreas––pile into the chopper as it disappears behind the rotor wash and heads for the hills.
When legendary filmer Mike McIntyre (aka Mack Dawg) announced that he wouldn't be making a movie in '08/'09, Eero––who in previous winters had filmed some of his greatest parts with Dawger––found himself at somewhat of a crossroads. Not quite sure what his next move would be, Oakley stepped in and helped conceive a reality TV show (titled Tracking Eero) in which Ettala would travel the world with riders of his choosing and edit together an entire series of his winter's exploits. From the Nissan X-Trail in Tokyo to Russian rail missions to our current coordinates, Eero had been going non-stop since opening day, yet he didn't falter. As soon as he met up with Danny and Torstein, it was time to go to work—and unlike most of you reading this, these lucky fellows' offices are more cornices and pillows than cubicles and PCs.
Our days were spent scoping, building, and filming while our nights consisted of board games, truth-or-dare style drinking bets, and your run-of-the-mill stir-crazy ramblings. On one particular evening, an unfortunate bet forced me to eat my entire dinner and dessert underneath the table, while Torstein enjoyed a heaping plate of lasagna with peanut butter smeared above his upper lip. Eero donned a helmet (à la Speed Racer) and mittens during his meal, and Hotell had to place his dessert plate on the toilet seat and eat it in the bathroom. Coincidentally, the dessert that evening was brownies, and uncoincidentally, someone left a napalm-like bowel movement directly before Chris's after-supper treat. It's amazing what you'll agree to do when you've got nothing to lose (except a dash of dignity) and more importantly, nothing to do.
Reg Milne is the man behind Backcountry Snowcats and the owner of the lodge we called home for ten days. Fresh coffee in the morning, three meals a day, and a full staff (including an excellent in-house chef) employed to ensure that our stay was nothing less than luxurious. Living year-round in the woods with his wife Kathy (who is also a cat driver at the lodge), Reg leads a simple life, far from the hustle and bustle of Whistler that they left behind years ago. "I loved the old Whistler. When I first moved there, there were 700 people in the town. Now, it's like 20,000 people, so it's totally changed. Transitioning from the resort town to the backcountry was kind of like going back to the old days at Whistler." Reg is soft-spoken; a keen observer that keeps to himself and soaks in his surroundings, rather than cloud a conversation with needless small talk. He's exactly what one would expect—tall, handsome, and rugged, and one of the most kind, sincere people you'd ever meet. His wife Kathy is boisterous, hilarious, and brutally honest. Kathy doesn't put up with shit, calls it like she sees it, and during our stay, on more than one occasion, she made us laugh so hard our stomachs were sore. Their relationship is a contrast of character, and ever since they met years ago while both working in Whistler (Reg worked maintenance and Kathy slung chairs), they've shared a fondness of the area that they now call home. "I found the area just by accident. I went back and did some ski touring and fell in love with the place," says Reg. "And the next thing you know, I bought a snowcat and was up there cat-skiing. It took a bunch of years to get all the paperwork together, but next thing you know, we have a lodge and an operation going."
Randomly, Reg fell into big-budget Hollywood work. "I was working up on Whistler and one of the local mountain guys came up to check out the weather records. He said to me, 'We're looking at shooting a movie up on Whistler/Blackcomb next winter.' I thought, 'I just bought this snowcat. I should give him my number,'" recalls Milne. Sure enough, a few months later, Reg got a call asking for help hauling specialeffects equipment around the mountain for the film crew. "Through that meeting by chance, we hit it off and I ended up working for years with him. So I pretty much traveled the world doing special effects for movies, as well as snowcat stuff." As a stunt rigger and coordinator on films like X-Men: The Last Stand, Cliffhanger, and Alien vs. Predator: The Requiem, Reg still found time to run the cat op up in Hurley Pass in the winter months. Currently, he's still contracted by stunt coordinators to do rigging, and as he says humbly, "A little bit of acting now and then, too." From Hollywood to the hills, more or less.
"Professionals in every sense of the word."
Reg's experience in Tinseltown and knowledge of big-budget production work paid off. The media types accompanying us on this jaunt were a sight to behold in and of themselves—three cameramen, one para-glider pilot (from which a filmer dangled by a carabineer between his legs), boom mic operators, two photographers, and a lowly writer. It was certainly a production, but the footage and photos are proof that you usually get back what you put in (i.e., it's awesome). Reg and Kathy's years of park-building experience at Whistler might possibly have been the most beneficial skillset brought to the table, as we soon learned that cutting blocks and stacking snow to build jumps was obsolete when you had two of the best pushers in the Pemberton area at your disposal and an endless white canvas of rollers to work with. Eero, Danny, and Torstein would scope out a spot, point to where they wanted the wedge, and Reg and Kathy would push massive mounds of snow wherever they requested without question, completely alleviating any building hours and maximizing the efficiency of the feature/filming mission ten-fold. Park jumps with pow landings—it was unlike anything I'd ever seen.
Danny, Torstein, and Eero were precise in their execution; consummate professionals in every sense of the word. There were times when Danny didn't even wait for the photographers or filmers to pull out their cameras; he was already down at the bottom, waiting for a ride to bring him back up, while a lone track came to a stop right where he was sitting. Unfortunately––for our film and photo dudes, that is––it was just that good out there. Aside from Eero spinning blindly into a small tree and coming away with a hefty bruise, everything went according to plan, and we emerged from the backcountry intact, everyone ready to hastily re-pack their bags and hop on a plane to their next destination.
On the sled ride back to town, I had some time to reflect, attempting to gather some sort of story, an angle of any sort, but I found it to be an almost impossible task. So much happened during our stay, but ironically, it stemmed from having very little to actually do (aside from snowboarding, of course). With so much down time, we were forced to converse, to get to know one another, tell stories, laugh, conduct ourselves in a crude manner at times, and ride our snowboards as much as we possibly could. And we did. From this, I guess the story wrote itself. A story about a handful of people congregating in a remote area of the forest outside of Pemberton, British Columbia. A story about three revolutionary modern-day snowboarders drifting away from the frenzy that is their winter for a few days. A story about a husband and wife, isolated, left alone, and happy as all hell about it. That's really all there is. And then we all left; on to new adventures. Fortunately for all of us, it's what we do.

This ebook has taken far too long to write but at last it is finally finished. The beauty of self-publishing is also the major problem with it – nobody pushes you, you aren't paid and for all you know nobody will read it once it's published. I wanted to see how the many different aspects of the book may develop conversations within the user experience community.
Elements of the book have already aged, but the principles continue, even though the examples may not! However, I hope you enjoy the read and I am really interested to know your thoughts, either here or on twitter. Currently it is only an ePub available for mobile devices but if the demand is there, other versions will be made available.

Some accompanying thoughts
In the last year I have seen how the different elements of the Six Circles transcend user experience, into the fields of brand strategy, service design and customer experience. It is my view that in ten years time we will be talking about what we do today in very different terms due to the contexts that we have to design for, using technology that is only beginning to become pervasive in our physical environment. I predict that UX and Service Design will cease to be differentiated, as they will be so entwined it would be too difficult, and potentially inefficient to separate into different disciplines.
I have seen enough of touch and tablet usage, mobile devices, 'Everyware' (and even Microsoft's shift of it's Windows 8 platform towards the touch paradigm) to feel that we are in for an exciting decade ahead.
Call it the legacy of Steve Jobs, but what he has left us with is a global population who are more instantly engaged with technology than we could have imagined ten years ago. To allow the very young and very old to interact with content through the same device is a stunning achievement, and for the interface and interaction designers to be able to support a richer experience is truly exciting.
Unfortunately companies are still catching up, fearful of failure and what they perceive as risk. Watching their competitors to see who makes the first move but the time for businesses to be brave and bold is now. There is not much time remaining for some businesses to make use of the power of meaningful, rich experiences delivered by brands that satisfy the culture and contextual uses of the users. Those companies that achieve this will simply dominate at a rate that is faster due to the networked society.
But all the talk of technology misses the point. It is the human needs, desires and emotions and their interactions with each other that create our insights that in turn drive innovation and success for companies. These experiences make the difference. It is the quality of experience that is the differentiator for any company in a crowded market.
Solving people problems will inevitably solve business problems. The challenge is to get businesses to believe in it, and trust those to deliver on the promise of user centred design. But with a process that is understood and a philosophy that appeals to many, there is alot we can do to ensure the business world adopts a path to greater product development, that builds on the needs and wants of people at its core.

Today 105 major corporations, more adopting everyday, have corporate blogs that engage their audience, tell their story, deliver their value, and offer a place for insight. Entrepreneurs are at the forefront of this evolution. In addition, many of these corporations are adopting social media tools like Twitter and Facebook as tools to help create audience and "evangelists" for their products and services. The following are steps provided by Peter Kim on how to measure a social media campaign.
Peter Kim is one of the most important architects of social media and a well respected new thought practitioners. Peter is considered an expert in the art and science of "the intersection of social technology and marketing strategy." He has been quoted by the most prestigious press organizations from the Wall Street Journal to CBS Evening News.
In Peter's article "A framework for measuring social media" he outlines four concepts that provide the framework for social media measurement or ROI:
1. Attention: "The amount of traffic to your content for a given period of time. Similar to the standard web metrics of site visits and page/video views."
IA: Your readership can vary in many ways and although measuring number of readers and page views is quite telling, average time per visit is a major factor. Simply put how long a person stays on your site reading your content can be indicative to your content's value in the eyes of your readers.
2. Participation: "The extent to which users engage with your content in a channel. Think blog comments, Facebook wall posts, YouTube ratings, or widget interactions."
IA: Key is a users willingness to engage with other users on your site. The comment section for each blog post has the potential to become their own mini "forums." Within these forums your readers debate your content, collaborate, and communicate freely. One of the best examples of this is on ChrisBrogan.com another social media expert.
3. Authority: "Ala Technorati, the inbound links to your content – like trackbacks and inbound links to a blog post or sites linking to a YouTube video."
IA: Although Technorati is the most well known inbound link measurement site, it is often not as accurate as Google. Peter is right on the money here with the fact that your trackbacks and inbound links are absolutely critical in measuring your content's effectiveness in attracting readers.
4. Influence: "The size of the user base subscribed to your content. For blogs, feed or email subscribers; followers on Twitter or Friendfeed; or fans of your Facebook page."
IA: Attracting subscribers means you are producing excellent content. Yet in some cases, the subscription numbers can be "infected" by misleading subscription growth trends based on inaccurate numbers.

Bethel Opens As Senior College
Dr. Karl Karlson Passes Away Two Bethel Alumni
Among 7 New Instructors .
The expansion of Bethel into a full four year college and the
development of various departments has necessitated the addition of
several new professors to the faculty this year.
The position of Director Of Religious Activities has been added
this year with the purpose, of coordinating and better directing the many
varied religious activities on the campus. Eugene Johnson has been
a:ded to Nil this position. Mr. Johnson attended Bethel Junior College,
Hamlin University, the University of Southern California, from which
he received his B. A. degree, and Bethel Seminary where he received
his B. D. degree. He has held the position of Youth Director in the
Ele,enth Street Church in Los Angeles, and pastor of the Bethel Church
in Pasadena.
Dies Of Injuries
In Auto Mishap
Dr. Karl Johan Karlson, Dean
Emeritus of Bethel Seminary, died
at 3:CO P.M., September 14, in the
Midway Hospital in St. Paul, from
injuries received in an automobile
accident near the town, Bethel,
just outside of Cambridge. The ac-cident
was a result of a blowout of
a rear tire on the car in which Dr.
Karlson, together with five other
passengers, including Dr. Anton
Pearson and James Rentz of Bethel
were riding. The blowout caused
the vehicle to roll completely over.
The group was enroute to Mora,
Minnesota to attend and ordination
service in which Dr. Karlson was
to have participated.
The funeral service was held at
Bethel Baptist church in Minne-apolis
on Friday afternoon, Sep-tember
17, at 2:00 o'clock. Dr.
Wingblade, President of Bethel,
read several passages of SZripture
including the Twenty-third Psalm,
a portion of John, also portions or
First and Second Corinthians. The
Bethel Quartet provided special
music for the service together with
the soloist. After the quartet sang
Precious Lord, Take My Hand,
Dean Edwin Omark of the Semi-nary
led in prayer. Rev. Waldemer
read the obituary, telegrams and
other messages. Messages were
given by Rev. J. 0. Backlund, who
knew Dr. Karlson almost forty
years ; Professor Adolph Olson,
who had served with Dr. Karlson
ire the Seminary since Dr. Karlson
joined the faculty in 1922, and who
spoke on Job 19; and Dr. G. Arvid

Probably the longest line in all
of registration was that leading up
to, surrounding, and engulfing the
bookstore. Those who escape wait-ing
in line for less than an hour
can consider themselves fortunate,

a bit longer, and were, in fact,
almost tempted to go home and
return again with a box lunch,
camp stool, and stack of corn plas-ters
before waiting any longer.
Coupled with this sad state of
affairs Was the fact that after this
lengthly safari in the book line, two
out of three required books were
out of stock.

that it took weeks of plan-ning,

the first day, but after that events
took a turn much more to the lik-ing

Courses Added
For Fourth Year
As a part of Bethel's program of
expansion to a senior college, three
nevi courses in English, two new
courses in psychology, two new se-quences
of philosophy and one
course in history has been added.
The three new courses in Eng-lish
are: Shakespeare, which covers
the most important plays and son-nets
of this master dramatist; the
English Novel, a historical and.
critical study of the novel since the
18th century; and the Short Story.
These are taught by Professor
Lawson and Professor Mild.
One new sequence of philosophy
taught by Mr. Otto, covers the
philosophy of religion, science, and
history. Mr. Engwall is teaching
the sequence of contemporary and
social philosophy and one quarter
of Plato.
With the addition of a new pro-fessor
it was possible to add two
courses; namely, Abnormal Psych-ology
and Systems of Psychology,
which together cover three quart-ers.
Greater variety in the history
department is offered this year by
the addition of one new course, the
Renaissance and Reformation
Period, taught by Mr. Wik.
Other courses which have been
added to the curriculum are Bible
Survey in the department of Bible,
General Biology in the department
of Natural Science, and the return
of the course in Argumentation
and Debate.

Dear Editor:
Last spring, after I was notified
that my application for entrance
into Bethel had been accepted, I
looked forward with great enthusi-asm
to the beginning of school
when I would not only enter into
the fellowship of Christian young
people, but would also be able to
actively participate in the support
of Bethel's sport activities. I have
been on the campus over two
weeks now and have been won-drously
blessed spiritually and
have sensed a Christian atmos-phere.
However, because of my in-terest
in sports, I have explored
the facilities that Bethel has in
carrying out it's sports programs,
and have found them to be what I
should think, definitely inadequate.
Two questions I asked upon my
arrival on the campus were,
"Where is the Field House? and,
"How do I get to the football
field?" I was given no answer. It
appears to me that the present
College gym could not hold that
portion of the student body who so
eagerly want to "support the
team," nor is there a convenient
suitable place where we team sup-porters
can "cheer on' the football
team. I concluded that due to the
insufficient facilities I have ob-served,
team support and enthusi-asm
would slacken rather than be
Therefore, Mr. Editor, I would
like to ask you this question, as
I believe it is in the minds of most
of my [Clow classmates too, "Does
Bethel anticipate ever having the
adequate facilities that will meet
the need of a growing Sport pro-gram
,and if so, what is being done
about it?"
Mr. Freshman
Tea Given
Freshman Girls
All the girl students of Bethel
were entertained at a Tea given
by the wives of the faculty mem-bers
on Monday afternoon, Sep-tember
13th. The Tea, to which
the freshman girls were especially
invited, was held in the dining hall.
Mrs. H. W. Malmsten was in
charge of the short program which
was enjoyed by everyone present.
Each lady carried a photograph of
her husband when introduced, and
told of the various classes which
her husband taught in order to
help the girls in getting better
acquainted with the faculty.
Mrs. G. Arvid Hagstrom gave a
word of welcome along with Mrs.
C. E. Carlson and Mrs. R. Omark.
The devotional part of the meet-ing
consisted of Scripture reading
by Mrs. Adolph Olson and prayer
by Mrs. Ernest Norstrom.
Besides coffee and tea, delicious
sandwiches and cookies were
Dear Mr. Freshman:
Your questions are understand-able,
but you are not the first to
raise them. The need of which you
speak has been recognized for
some time, and every effort is
being made to improve our athletic
In regard to an athletic field, the
difficulty is that there simply is
no large piece of land near the
campus that can be procured for
our use. The possibilities of ob-
;Ailing some additional property
have been explored thoroughly, but
it appears that it will be necessary
for us to limit ourselves, for the
time being at least, to the acreage
which now belongs to the school.
But there is also a light side to
this picture. The present location
of the football field has the ad-vantage
of being well protected
from winds on the east and west.
The buildings provide a bowl, an
ideal , spot for football. Bleachers
were erected last year and will be
provided for home games this fall
also. There is room on both sides
of the field for bleachers. Married
students whose apartments face
west have excellent grandstand
seats from which to view the play.
The field itself is in fair condition,
except for a bad depression of thy;
land in the southwest corner, and
we think you can expect to see
some good football played within
its boundary lines this fall.
When the present gymnasium
was built as a part of the college
building (it was the ACademy
them), it was sufficient for the
school's needs. However, as the
sport of basketball developed, and
as a greater and greater number
of capable players came to Bethel
for training, it became more and
more evident that as far as basket-ball
was concerned our little gym
was not only inadequate, but even
dangerous. That a new field-house
was imperative, from the point of
view of both players and specta-tors,
has been obvious to all for
several years.
It is thought that the cost of
building such a field-house would
be in the neighborhood of $125,000.
The school is already committed
by action of the Baptist General
Conference to the centennial build-ing
program, and is not ready at
this time to undertake the project,
needful as it may be.
Consequently the student body
took things in its own hands about
three years ago, and under the
leadership of the student council
has raised in the neighborhood of
$23,000 in pledges for the field-house
fund. It is hoped that the
sum will be much larger by the
end of this year.
We at Bethel are rightfully
proud of the showing which our
athletic teams have made in the
Minnesota Junior College Con-ference,
despite the disadvantages
of the present setup. And with our
eyes fixed in the future—and per-haps
a not too distant future—
when the facilities will be what
a college requires, we stand to
support our teams to the last man
with all the enthusiasm we can
muster. Our spirits need not be
dampened by a "cracker-box" gym-nasium.
We still have teams that
This year there will be a Mission
Emphasis Week, the second week
in January. Walfred Danielson will
be one of the speakers. Other
speakers or highlights in the pro-gram

Dr. K. J. Karlson
They that go down to the sea in
That do business in great waters;
These see the works of the Lord,
And his wonders in the deep.
He maketh the storm a calm,
So that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad because they
are quiet;
So he bringeth them into their
desired haven.
Psalm 107
Dr. K. J. Karlson, beloved co-v
orker during many years in the
school, has just come from the sea.
Keen in mind, broad in scholarship,
warm in heart, deep in understand-ing,
every hour of fellowship with
him was a privilege and a blessing.
His life was full; so full of so
many Christian graces that his
passing leaves an impoverished
school and a poorer world. In
humble gratitude and prayer we
turn our faith to Him that "turneth
watersprings into a thirsty
ground," for He also "turneth a
wilderness into a pool of water,
and dry land into water-springs."

The school year began with the
bright light of the fall sun shin-ing
resplendently on our campus
as young faces from near and far
gathered and communed, with high

fell and one of our giants of in-spiration
lay low. But his spirit
had ascended to be with the Lord
he loved and served.

Clarion Editor States Aims
It is the purpose of The Clarion to bring to the Bethel family's
attention the events past, present and future in order that you may be
well informed on "What's new" on campus.
Through its feature columns. The Clarion will try to bring light
to bear on many problems and questions that arise in the minds of the
student body. The editor welcomes letters that will stimulate thought
on any issue that will benefit our Bethel family.
You will become acquainted with the various campus organizations
and their leaders through The Clarion. It will initiate in the near
future a testimony column where you will be able to give a testimony of
particular events in your lives that will be a blessing to others and
exhault Christ.
This is your paper, financed chiefly with your money (a portion of
your inclusive fee) ; help the staff make it the best publication possible.

A Developed Intra-Mural Sports
Program Is Much Needed Here
During summer vacation while thinking about last school-year and
some needed improvements on the campus this one thought came to
mind. We need a strong well-organied INTRA-MURAL SPORTS PRO-GRAM.
True enough with the introduction of football last year there is
recognized an expanding inter-collegiate sportS competition, but what
is being done for students who cannot qualify for the varsity teams?
Dr. Widen, member of the schoolboard, addressed various athletical-ly
minded groups on the campus last year. Each time he spoke mention
was made of a college student's responsibility to develop a "hold-over"
sport while in school. By "hold-over" sport he explained that it was
some sport in which the individual could participate after his college
days. -Team play is pretty much the design of inter-collegiate con-tests,
so it would be necessary to encourage "hold-over" sports by some
organilation within the school.
To visualize a graduate of Bethel we think of a person who is pre-pared
spiritually, academically, and physically for a life's work of
service. Such a graduate would be better equipped for service if ho

The question that was asked the freshmen this week was, What
was your first impression of Bethel? Do you like it or not and why? The
general reply was that he or she liked the school very much and Was
impressed by various favorable things.
When asked what he thought of
Bethel, Al Anthony replied, "It's
wonderful!" He said he likes the
uidnight talks that they have in
he boys' dorm and also the new
organ which is a real addition in
his estimation, claiming that the
tone of the organ is as rich as
any pipe organ he has ever heard.
Al has already played the organ
and is quite interested in piano
and organ playing so that explains
why the organ has impressed him
among other things.

Our first sport personality whom
we wish to bring to your attention
is an athletic Freshman ,that came
to Bethel from the Fairfield Ave-nue

is eighteen year old Dan Bloom,
who is becoming known in the

It no doubt is the proper thing to begin this column by introducing
its purpose to the Clarion readers. "In the Sportlight" will be written
by the Clarion Sportstaff and is designed as a commentary on the "high-lights"
of the various sport activities of the school.
By way of review, we might first of all briefly summarize last year's
football season. The, Indians played four of their scheduled five games,
lost three in which they were scoreless, but won their last game with
Estherville, Iowa, 18-0. Roy Johnson sparked the victory with two touch-downs
and "Itchy" Johnson tossed a pass to "Sandy" Sandburg for
the third.
Hats off to the returning lettermen who so faithfully pioneered
college football on the campus last season. They are more than an asset
to this year's squad.
The Clarion. Sportstaff wishes to encourage the student body to turn
out in mass at all the coming sports events to "cheer on" the team as
we can be assured that the Indians will be fighting hard to bring victory
to the school.

Mari Marchuk said she was
deeply impressed by the Christian
spirit that prevailed throughout the
student body and was really thril-led
in chapel to hear the fine sing-ing
during the song services.
Carrying such huge books around
has left a deep impression on Bill
Ebling, but he likes it. The friend-liness
of the kids along with the
swell teachers has also helped him
to make up his mind to the fact
that he likes our school.
Chapel services have made the
biggest impression on Virginia
Lovaas, who looks forward to them
each day.
Clarence Ohman was first im-pressed
by the parties and games
that were planned before the fresh-men
arrived. They have helped
him a lot in getting acquainted
with the other students and have
also had a bearing on his decision
that he likes the school.
The friendly kids (especially
girls) have already made an im-pression
on Charlie Lindberg, who
really likes everything about our
school. The hard assignments and
homework have impressed him, but
we'll not comment any further on
Irene Kley really is enjoying it
here because of the fine Christian
atmosphere about the place. It's
quite a change from the Jewish
hospital where she last worked.
The good food in the dining hall
is the first thing that impressed
Byron Hagstrom, but the friendly
student body has made him like
the school even more.
Dave Brown also puts his mark
of approval on Bethel because of
the fine Christian faculty members
and general attitude of everyone in
the school. He states that "dorm
life" has hit the spot with him
Upon entering the school for the
first time, Phyllis Michel was im-pressed
by the friendliness or
everyone, freshmen and upper
classmen as well. She says "dorm
life" is among the many other
things that have met with her
Marlin Nelson likes everyone's
eagerness to get acquainted; it has
helped him to feel right at home.
The social activities have proved
to be fun and he likes the food in
the cafeteria. "Red" says he has
yet to explore Como Park and
will comment on it later.
Bert Adams has simply been un-impressed
by any one thing in
particular but likes the school very
Dan, or "Danny" as he is more
frequently called, names football
as his favorite sport and that is
clearly seen as we note that Danny
played three years of football at
Amundsen High School, Chicago,
playing two years as a blocking
back and one year as a guard. In
his senior year, Dan was one of
ten in the state who received the
Noble Kizer Award, given by Pur-due
University, for being voted the
most outstanding player of his high
school team. The agile athlete was
also awarded a silver medal for
being voted the most outstanding
blocker on his team. Dan, who is
six foot talland weigh 180 pounds,
has been working out with the
Indians squad and is anxious to
bet into action.
Dan also has another purpose in
life other than playing football and
that is to seek the Lord's leading
concerning his life work. Dan likes
Christian youth work and if the
Lord directs him • that way, he
wants to work with young people
and do some coaching on the side.
Dan plans to attend Bethel for at
least two years and then would
like to attend the University of

Hit 'n' Miss
By Hazie and Morrie
The thing that seems to have been missed most of all during the
summer is the fine Christian fellowship which we have here at Bethel,
particularly in our prayer meetings. What a testimony to the spirit
which prevails on the campus. However one face that we now miss is
that of Dr. K. J. Karlson. Those of us who knew him considered it a
high privilege to work for and study under him. I know I speak for all
present and former students of Bethel when I say that. The memory
of such a kindly, humble man of God will long be cherished by all.
Cupid seems to have made good marks during the summer. I wonder
it that has anything to do with this statement in my roommate's Psy-chology
book; "according to `Scientific Snoopers' the leading topic of
conversation among college students is the opposite sex." What else?
Next comes college studies. For me studying is easy this year. Taking
five subjects, but can't get a book for any one of them.
Professor Engwall's Sociology classes are full of quips—such as
this: "Man's body is composed mostly of water, so that is why so mans'
of you are all wet." Which reminds me, do you know why Bill Lindroth
is so happy now? Because ignorance is bliss.
Did you know that Bob Nelson's wife, Gretchen, was in the hospital
for the last two years? She was a nurse.
To can the corn now, we would like to make this a students column.
Morrie and I are going to work together this year (Guess you'll have to
put up with his writing again) and we would invite your opinions, good
er bad or both. I personally, will see that there is a box put up in the
Clarion office so's you can give us the latest news. We'll keep writing as
long as you keep reading.
* *
"Darling! How I've missed you. Where have you been all summer?
Smack! Smack!" and then there is a long embrace, followed by more
kisses. Now don't get excited, it's not a love affair. It's only two Bethel
girls meeting each other after the long summer of separation. On another
side of the campus you hear this type of. greeting. "Hello, Joe, What'dya
know? And then there is a handshake followed by more handshakes.
Two Bethel fellows are meeting after the summer's separation.
Can't put any ads in this column or you'd see something about the
old crate I'm trying to get rid of. Guaranteed not to give you any trouble
as I have had as much trouble with it as any one car could give anybody.
Would also mention the 59c tie racks on sale at the Falcon Heights
Hardware. And the free nail kegs that some girls say, they use for
vanity desk chairs, but you can't fool us—we know they are used as
jewelry boxes. Speaking of girls, I thought I heard the rumor that in
order to graduate from Bethel it would be necessary to be married. That
explains the large girl enrollment this year. And it's leap year too.
Bumped into Jene Johnson in the hall the other day and wondered
why he looked so worried. Found out later on. If you don't hear Gene
speaking around here for some time don't get worried. it's only that
Ire has his sermon notes sent Railway Express and they have been lost.
Bet someone did it on purpose. Disregard that last sentence. What 1
meant to say was, hope the package is soon found. When I met Gene's
wife over in the Calvary Baptist Church, the first thing she said was,
"I'm Gene's boss." Guess I'll have to tell Gene about the good system we
have. My wife and I have a 50-50 marriage agreement. I get to decide
all the major issues and she decides the minor ones. It works good,
only the trouble so far is that she says they are all minor, so I haven't
had a chance to get in a word.

of him was to have seen him in
action. Now. however, the painting
will proceed on on the basis of
pictures of Dr. Karlson.
The board voted to install more
lighting on the campus for nights,
to build a potato "cellar for the
dining hall and to expedite the
library construction, though no
definite date was set.
The problem of the fieldhouse
was brought up with an effort
made to find a solution to the
problem of financing its construc-tion.
The board is also trying to
purchase the area across Snelling
Avenue which they can lease for
ten years but as yet are unable to
purchase for the field house con-struction.
Two additions to the faculty
staff were discussed. Mr. Mugo
Bersell has been added to the
roaintainence department and Mr.
Clifford Larson of the University
of Southern California has been
called and his acceptance now re-ceived
to head up the department
of Religious Education. Mr. Larson

This is a new column designed
to acquaint the Freshmen and all
newcomers to Bethel with the
campus leaders.
This series of interviews with
outstanding Bethelites begins with
an Iowan who is now in his third
year. As president of the Student
Council, the former editor of The
Clarion, and the chairman of the
District Conference Young People's
Group, Perry H edberg's qualities of
leadership and organization have
come to the fore.
A warm, sincere personality,
serious nature and a keen mind, as
well as a love for his Lord, seem
to be fine equipment for success
in his chosen field. He is majoring
in Philosophy and History in pre-paration
for teaching in a Christian
college. His plans also include
some religious journalism and
preaching on the side.
He is interested in athletics, is
active on Gospel Teams, and likes
shredded wheat for breakfast. Per-ry
is of medium height, has a pair
of friendly eyes, a singular grin,
and blond hair. It has been rumor-ed,
but strictly off the record, that
he likes brunettes (that isn't say-ing
that he dislikes pretty blonds
Perry was at Bethel during the
Spring quarter of 1943 as a Naval
V-32- cadet, but was called to active
duty soon afterward and transfer-red
to the University. He returned
to Bethel in 1946.
He would like to see Bethel in-corporate
a school of journalism,
emphasise hold-over sports such as
tennis or golf, which would be us-able
after graduation, and to liven
up the semi-dormant Alumni As-sociatiOn.
Edwin J. Omark
Succeeds Karlson
As New Sem Dean
Bethel _Seminary begins its
seventy-eighth year under the
leadership of a new dean, Edwin
J. Omark. Dean Omark becomes
the fifth man to serve the theolo-gical
school in that capacity.
Upon the recommendation of the
past dean, Dr. K. J. Karlson, and
the entire Seminary faculty and
then by the faculty committee of
the Board, Dean Omark was unani-mously
elected to his post by the
General Conference at its meeting
at Muskegon, Michigan in June.
Dean Omark is a past graduate
of the Seminary, having received
a Th. B. degree from the school in
1?24. In 1944, he returned to the
Seminary to become a member of
the faculty as a professor of Practr-cal
Theology. During the twenty
years intervening period, Dean
Omark served as a Conference
pastor, mainly on the West Coast.
Also during that time, Dean Omark
continued his studies, earning his
B.A. at the University of Minne-sota,
a B.D. degree at Bethel and
an M.A. degree at the University
et' Southern California. He also
completed further graduate work
at U. S. C.
In beginning his new position,
Dean Omark stated, "I deem it an
honor to follow Dr. Karl J. Karl-son
and the other noble men who
have served as deans of the eSmin
The Seminary is growing in
numbers and influence, and I am
pleased to be one of the many who
have a part in its enlarging minis-try."

Lr. Eddy: "Perhaps I may tell
of my experience. As I rise in the

I turn to any other voice, I must

as at the great meetings. No one
present ever forgot that hour.

New Apple Macbook Pro RAM is soldered to the motherboard
The new Retina Macbook Pro announced at WWDC 2012 looks really nice:
- 2880-by-1800 resolution at 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors
- 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache
- 512gb SSD (with 768GB option)
However, I think this is a bit sly of them – they've soldered the RAM to the motherboard, so you not only can't use cheaper third-party RAM, but you can't upgrade the RAM at all.
It stands to reason, when they do similar on the iOS products – the iPhone, iPad and iPod's all have fixed storage and no way of using SD card's, USB stick's or change the battery like on competitors products, but RAM has always been upgradable.
You can see it in this image on the Apple site:

Goal 8
What are the Millennium Development Goals?
In 2000, eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were established following the Millennium Summit of the United Nations:
- Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
- Achieve universal primary education
- Promote gender equality and empower women
- Reduce child mortality
- Improve maternal health
- Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases
- Ensure environmental sustainability
- Global partnership for development
With an end date of 2015, these goals formed a blueprint for action agreed to by all the world's countries (189) and leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world's poorest. Progress towards reaching the goals has been uneven across countries. The major successful countries include China and India. The World Bank estimated that MDG 1A (halving the proportion of people living on less than $1 a day) was achieved in 2008 mainly due to the results from these two countries and East Asia.
What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
In 2012, the member nations of the UN came together in Brazil for the Rio+20 Conference on global sustainable development. One of the main outcomes of the conference was an agreement to develop a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to build upon the Millennium Development Goals and converge with the post-2015 development agenda. The result is the below proposed list of global SDGs to be voted and agreed upon by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2015.
Sustainable Development Goals for consideration:
Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture
Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote life-long learning opportunities for all
Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all
Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries
Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development
All About Goal 8:
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
- 8.1 sustain per capita economic growth in accordance with national circumstances, and in particular at least 7% per annum GDP growth in the least-developed countries
- 8.2 achieve higher levels of productivity of economies through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high value added and labor-intensive sectors
- 8.3 promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises including through access to financial services
- 8.4 improve progressively through 2030 global resource efficiency in consumption and production, and endeavor to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation in accordance with the 10-year framework of programs on sustainable consumption and production with developed countries taking the lead
- 8.5 by 2030 achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value
- 8.6 by 2020 substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training
- 8.7 take immediate and effective measures to secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labor, eradicate forced labor, and by 2025 end child labor in all its forms including recruitment and use of child soldiers
- 8.8 protect labor rights and promote safe and secure working environments of all workers, including migrant workers, particularly women migrants, and those in precarious employment
- 8.9 by 2030 devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism which creates jobs, promotes local culture and products
- 8.10 strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and to expand access to banking, insurance and financial services for all
- 8.a increase Aid for Trade support for developing countries, particularly LDCs, including through the Enhanced Integrated Framework for LDCs
- 8.b by 2020 develop and operationalize a global strategy for youth employment and implement

SpaceTweetup to highlight ATV mission
ESA and the French space agency, CNES, are inviting 60 Twitter followers to a joint European SpaceTweetup in Toulouse, France, for the docking of ATV Edoardo Amaldi to the International Space Station next month.
A Tweetup is an informal, educational gathering of people who use the Twitter social messaging medium. This one is open to anyone who follows an ESA or CNES Twitter account.
The joint SpaceTweetup is an opportunity to learn more about the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) series of missions to the Space Station, how astronauts work with ATV and the vessels' vital roles in supporting research on the orbital outpost.
The Tweetup will take place at the CNES Toulouse Space Centre overnight during the docking of ATV-3, Edoardo Amaldi, set for 19 March at 04:05 CET. ATV missions are operated from the centre by a joint ESA/CNES team.
For Twitter users following ESA or CNES
The goal of the Tweetup is to allow people who regularly interact with each other via Twitter on space topics to meet in person and discuss their favourite subject: space!
This event is designed for Twitter users who follow an account operated by ESA or CNES (see links at right).
Applicants should note that the Tweetup could be delayed or replanned based on the actual progress of ATV launch and docking preparations.
Application deadline
The application window is open now and closes on 26 February at 22:00 CET. The number of participants is limited to 60; all others will be placed on a waiting list. Selected applicants will be notified by email on 29 February.
An application is for one person only and is non-transferable. Please do not submit multiple applications.
Please note that neither CNES nor ESA will cover travel, accommodation or other expenses. All registrants must be at least 18 years old.

Tim McGraw Scheduled to Visit 'The Journey' on Thanksgiving Day
Tim McGraw is scheduled to stop by the set of the NFL talk show 'The Journey' tomorrow (Nov. 22), just before the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins will go head-to-head for one of the NFL's Thanksgiving Day football face-offs.
Also making a Turkey Day appearance is Kenny Chesney, who will perform during the televised halftime segment of the game. The Cowboys vs. Redskins kick off at 3:15 PM CT. Both McGraw and Chesney, who toured together over the summer, continue to be supporters of the NFL and its affiliation with country music.
McGraw's appearance on the 'The Journey' is another profile appearance for the superstar leading up to the release of his new studio album, 'Freedom Lanes of Freedom,' due out Feb. 5. The singer admits that he hoped to make an impact when choosing an appropriate title for the project.
"Freedom' is a powerful word," McGraw says of decision. "To come into a situation where there's some weight lifted, some refreshment going on, you can feel that in the music. I think you can feel the horses gallop on this record, and where I might go and what I might do when my engines are revving."
"It's about reflecting on old times with a sense of nostalgia, but it's also about creating new memories and living in the moment and looking towards the future," admits the devoted husband and father-of-three. "I am doing that in my own life and career now, and I can't wait for my fans to hear the single and album."
The collection is home to the new single, 'One of Those Nights,' which McGraw recently debuted with a performance at the 2012 CMA Awards. The album will also feature 'Truck Yeah,' McGraw's most recent Top 10 single.

March 15, 2008
ADDA, Ohio - Despite sending only three qualifiers to the 2008 NCAA Track and Field Indoor Championships, the Engineers made the most out of their contingent, as all three athletes powered to All-America accolades. Sophomore Amy Magnuson capped an impressive season with a second-place finish in the 55-meter hurdles.
Magnuson's near national title served as the highlight for MIT over the weekend. Magnuson ran a modest 8.19 in the prelims, but during finals, the Lawrence, Kan., native, established yet another school record with a phenomenal clip of 8.01.Magnuson's time was faster than the previous four NCAA champions, although Frostburg State's Sumer Rohrs secured her second consecutive national title after setting a new facility record in 7.96.
On the men's side, both sophomore Stephen Morton and senior Omari Stephens earned spots on the awards stand as each copped All-America honors. Morton finished eighth overall in the long jump with a mark 22'9.75" while Stephens finished eighth in the pole vault after a clear of 15'9.75".

Bzzzzt... Wrong! All I am saying is that when a social encounter (like our conversation) goes awry, then regardless of whether you have Aspergers or not, you will get hurt. That's the thing with being open, it lets everything in: joyful and painful. I am not saying one should be a doormat to every sociopath out there, nor am I saying one should build walls out of fear (which is what you are advising).skittish wrote:In other words, you can, should, and will participate in Dharma according to convention.

"Aspies" are not alone in doing this. Most "normal" people display this attitude and pattern of behaviour too.Assuming you heal at all, which is often unlikely with aspies. We tend to move on, which is a shame if we lose connection with a teacher, especially our Root Teacher.
What are you talking about? You make sweeping generalisations without defining categories:Do we really lead with emptiness, and to a person facing these challenges? What tradition endorses that? Yikes.gregkavarnos wrote:Who is "we" and what is "correct"?
And then when asked to define them you talk gibberish?Unfortunately, we're not "correct", and being too naive about our ability to comply is dangerous.

PARIS (AP) — Hundreds of empty, parked cars go up in flames in France each New Year's Eve, set afire by young revelers, a much lamented tradition that remained intact this year with 1,193 vehicles burned, Interior Minister Manuel Valls said Tuesday.
His announcement was the first time in three years that such figures have been released. The conservative government of former President Nicolas Sarkozy had decided to stop publishing them in a bid to reduce the crime — and not play into the hands of car-torching youths who try to outdo each other.
France's current Socialist government decided otherwise, deeming total transparency the best method, and the rate of burned cars apparently remained steady. On Dec. 31, 2009, the last public figure available, 1,147 vehicles were burned.
Like many countries, France sees cars set on fire during the year for many reasons, including gangs hiding clues of their crimes and people making false insurance claims.
But car-torching took a new step in France when it became a way to mark the arrival of the New Year. The practice reportedly began in earnest among youths — often in poor neighborhoods — in the 1990s in the region around Strasbourg in eastern France.
It also became a voice of protest during the fiery unrest by despairing youths from housing projects that swept France in the fall of 2005. At the time, police counted 8,810 vehicles burned in less than three weeks.
Yet even then, cars were not burned in big cities like Paris, and that remained the case this New Year's Eve. Minister Valls said the Paris suburban region of Seine-Saint-Denis, where the 2005 unrest started, led the nation for torched cars, followed by two eastern regions around Strasbourg.
For some, the decision to tell the public how many cars have been burned on New Year's Eve is a mistake.
Bruno Beschizza, the national secretary for security matters in Sarkozy's UMP party, said on iTele TV that publishing the numbers motivates youths to commit such crimes. "We know that neighborhoods compete," he said. Gang rivalries center on who can torch the most cars, with claims made on social networks like Facebook and Twitter, he said.
