Odemwingie: Baggies 'stole' my loyalty
Want-away striker Peter Odemwingie claims West Brom have "stolen" his loyalty with what he believes is a lack of respect for him.
Odemwingie has followed up the statement he issued on Friday night with two separate outbursts on Twitter, claiming he wants to leave because the Baggies had previously doubted his commitment. QPR have already had a £2million bid for the Nigeria international turned down but sources close to West Brom expect them to make another offer.
Odemwingie is thrilled to have captured the interest of Rangers boss Harry Redknapp and tweeted: "Best compliment I have ever received in my (career) as a player. manager like HR spending to bring me for mission "impossible"."
He also wrote: "Offer came, everybody knows.
"I ask club what they think ? Answer - not now. Maybe summer. I ask- or is it tactics to get more money? Answer- we have enough now there is no prise (price) for you. We need you.
"I say ok. What's the prise for summer ? We will tell you after the window closes.
"I say - I have served the club well and deserve at least to have a prise now so I can plan my probably last move in England.
"Don't want another summer window not knowing what will happen cos now I ll have to move my little son elsewhere. after all I have contributed to the clubs success last two seasons I hoped to at least get a low prise. Answer- talk later.
"Last season January window is when I should have handed in transfer request. Was one foot in Rubin Kazan - not for sale. Fulham. Not for sale. Newcastle. Not for sale. Wigan. Not for sale.
"Loyalty left 70 percent. the rest they stole out of my pocket thinking I was keeping money in there."

Hollie, you are such an encouragement to me.
Not everyone here knows yet that Mary Evelyn has been diagnosed with ADHD as well as dyslexia and several other learning disabilities. As we struggle through learning the basics, I am finding it hard to be encouraged too. More and more she is realizing that she is "behind," something that is only just now starting to bother her.
I haven't given much thought yet as to what encourages me but as I read this thread I realize it's PEOPLE that encourage me. Friends like you, my husband, people who have been there, people who offer to pray...God's people. It's good to know that she is made in God's image, that she is who she is, that she WILL learn in her own time. And sometimes it takes others to remind me of those truths.

One of the many, many hurdles on the meditation path is speed. People want to rush things. They want results now. They want to enter an altered state of consciousness now. Hurry it up with the inner peace, would you?
Here's the truth: you don't get results by rushing. The only way to succeed is to take it slow. I mean that it takes time to build up your skills. No one is great at turning their attention in on itself in an instant.
I also mean something else by that remark.
You can think about meditation at the macro level. You develop this ability through skilful practice. This process takes time, no question.
Just like any other talent.
It's also true at the micro level, in the moment.
If you can't clear your mind of thoughts, that's okay. Here's a technique for meditating anyway.
What's the difference between the mind of a monk and the mind of your typical, cubicle-dwelling office worker? The one in the robes is in a state of perfect calm, stillness and tranquillity. The corporate drone is balancing a million thoughts. Some are related to work and office politics, others are not.
Really consider it. What's the difference?
Suppose a thought does enter the monk's mind. Is it the same kind of thought that floats through the corporate lackey's mind?
No. You're probably realising that the monk's thought is slower.
What does it mean for a thought to be slow? Think about your own thinking. A lot of it comes in loops. Maybe you have an unfulfilled dream that makes you unhappy, which makes you want the dream even more. Maybe you're simply noticing something that reminds you of something else, which makes you notice even more of the first thing.
A slow thought is one that moves through the loop slower. You become more conscious of the nature of the loop and how one thought leads to another.
Another way to think about it is having a song stuck in your head. Your thoughts will synchronise to the tempo of the music. If the music slows down, so do the rate of your thoughts.
By the way, this literally happens to me. Any song in my head tends to slow down so much it will become unrecognisable.
How do you do this? I'll give you a hint: if you start to think "yes! It's working! Look how slow those thoughts are going! Amazing!" then you're doing it wrong. All of your thoughts have to slow down, including those that observe other thoughts.
It's like taking energy out of the system. Everything calms and settles.
Some of you will read this and it will click. Others will want more concrete details. Either way, the next step is to learn self-hypnosis the right way. You want a range of inductions with detailed instructions, plus lifetimes worth of exercises to do once you're there.
If you want a little slow, smooth trance in your life, head on over to this page:

Fitness equipment manufacturers are preparing for a change in the U.S. patent law that could affect future innovators and the speed of new patent approvals.
In September, President Obama signed the Smith-Leahy America Invests Act (AIA), which will go into effect on March 16, 2013. AIA changes the U.S. patent system from a first-to-invent to a first-to-file system, which means that the first person or company to file for a patent gets the patent rather than the person or company who proved they were the first to invent something.
"A change to the patent system was needed for many reasons but mostly because of the increasing complexity of many patents in a global marketplace," says Bryan O'Rourke, partner in consulting company Integerus, New Orleans. "This is certainly relevant to the fitness industry, which has become more global and competitive in nature. Therefore, the issue of intellectual property (IP) will play an increasing role in how vendors obtain a competitive advantage."
Despite this need for a change, he says the act is controversial, and in the long run, the new patent rules will affect equipment and software companies in the fitness industry although it is still uncertain how.
Proponents of the bill say it will shorten the time it takes to secure a patent (typically four years now) and will move the United States in line with other industrialized countries, which already use the first-to-file system.
Kevin Corbalis, executive vice president of marketing and product development at Star Trac, Irvine, CA, favors the change.
"This makes it very easy for the patent office and the courts to interpret that the file date has priority," Corbalis says. "It helps to clean up the way you interpret ownership of invention."
The change also will push companies to make hard decisions faster on products so they can file quicker for patents, he says, adding that Star Trac will push for faster file dates than it has in the past.
Ray Giannelli, senior vice president of research and development at Cybex International, Medway, MA, says the new patent law will not change Cybex's intellectual property strategies, but the growth in technology will.
"Technology in the fitness industry is growing faster than ever," Giannelli says. "As technology moves faster and faster, so will applications for patents and trademarks."
The new law allows for patent challenges in a post grant review, but only if there is a "reasonable likelihood that the petitioner would prevail." In the current system, challenges are allowed if there is a "substantial new question of patentability."
"If I were 'looking' for trouble in the bill, it would probably relate to potential harassment/obfuscation issues with respect to the post grant review," says Dean Sbragia, CEO of Med-Fit Systems, the Fallbrook, CA-based manufacturer of Nautilus equipment. "The language appears a bit too broad, allowing challenges to be made 'on any invalidity ground.' So in theory, a bigger player could bully a smaller player away from their IP by raising numerous challenges to the application."
Some people have suggested that the change will cut down on litigation, but O'Rourke disagrees—although he says it will streamline the system.
"Sadly, the act did not deal with some significant issues like patent trolling, which is creating a great deal of litigation in other industries and may ultimately impact the fitness industry," O'Rourke says.
Opponents of AIA say the change will hurt individual inventors and small companies who do not have people dedicated to procuring patents and who need time to find investors to pay for patent-related costs, which run as little as $1,000 if the inventor writes most of the patent without the help of a patent lawyer or as much as $25,000 to $30,000 if a patent lawyer writes it. Adding patent filings outside the United States can increase the cost to $100,000. Those costs should remain the same even with the patent change.
However, companies can file a provisional patent for $110, which gives them 12 months to find investors before filing for the more expensive nonprovisional patent, which Corbalis says should be plenty of time to find investors.
Still, O'Rourke says small companies may have reason for concern.
"While there are new provisions for 'micro-entities' that can file for patents at reduced fees, the main beneficiaries of the new rules are going to be larger, well-capitalized businesses," O'Rourke says. "If one assumes that innovation tends to come from smaller companies, I believe innovation in the fitness industry may suffer from the new rules."
Giannelli says that it is unlikely companies will innovate less due to the change, but they may be more secretive about innovative ideas until they file.
Corbalis adds, "For a short period of time, it will change the behavior to push the activity quicker and faster, but that idea pool will always be out there, so maybe short term there will be more activity. But I don't think it changes people's progression of ideas. They will still be out there. "
In the end, patents are still only as good as their owner's ability to defend them, which took money before this change and will take it after this change, O'Rourke says.
"So in the end, the impact may be insignificant," he says.

Jamaica prison guard dies after ambush by gunmen
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — A prison officer in Jamaica has died from bullet wounds inflicted during an attack by gunmen who ambushed him late last month.
Cpl. Easton Williams was shot multiple times while on his way to work at a prison in the southern parish of St. Catherine. The Caribbean island's government says he died from his injuries Wednesday at a hospital in the capital of Kingston.
In a statement, National Security Minister Peter Bunting offers condolences to Williams' family and says the killers will be brought to justice.
Bunting says brazen attacks on law enforcers, in his words, "only serve to strengthen our resolve to rid the country of criminal elements."
There have been no arrests in the case.

Eliminating seniority-based layoffs: 4 things to consider
The following was written by Matthew Di Carlo, senior fellow at the non-profit Albert Shanker Institute, located in Washington, D.C. This post originally appeared on the institute's blog.
By Matthew Di Carlo
Eliminating seniority-based layoffs of teachers is a policy idea making the rounds these days, with proponents making special appeals to cash-strapped states and districts desperately looking for ways to save money while minimizing decreases in the quality of services. Mayors, editorial boards, and others have joined in the chorus.
There's a few existing high-quality simulations that compare seniority-based layoffs with one alternative – laying off based on teachers' value-added scores (most recently, one analysis of Washington State and another using data from New York City; both are worth reading).
Unsurprisingly, the simulations show that the two policies would not lay off the same teachers, and that the seniority-based layoffs would save less money for the same number of dismissals (since the least experienced teachers are paid less). In addition, the teachers laid off based on seniority have lower average value-added scores than those laid off based on those value-added scores (as would inevitably be the case).
Based in part on these and other analyses, critics have a pretty solid argument on the surface: Seniority makes us "fire good teachers" simply because they don't have enough experience, and we can fire fewer teachers if we use "quality" instead of seniority.
To be clear: I think that there is a sound case for exploring alternatives to seniority-based layoffs, but many of the recent arguments for so-called "quality-based" layoffs have been so simplistic and reactionary that they may actually serve to deter serious conversations about how to change these practices.
The first issue is that critics of seniority-based layoffs often conflate the need to cut costs and the need to get rid of incompetent teachers. This is a distraction. Districts must address the problem of incompetent teachers, whether or not they are in budget crisis. Similarly, districts in budget crisis need to figure out how to deal with it, whether or not they have incompetent teachers. These are separate issues, and we should be careful not to let one drive the other.
The second (and more practical) source of confusion pertains to how current seniority-based layoffs actually work. In reality, they rarely proceed strictly by seniority. Although there are variations from place to place, there is usually a formula of sorts, which accounts for subject area licensure, special skills, location, and other factors, in addition to experience.
For example, the aforementioned Washington State simulation (which used actual layoff notices issued [but repealed] in 2008-09) found that experience was the strongest predictor of being laid off, but there were also strong effects associated with having an advanced degree and being certified in a high-needs subject. In fact, about one in three teachers who would have been dismissed under seniority were in their third year or higher, while over 10 percent had five or more years of experience. In other words, termination decisions were made according to multiple criteria (though they tended to be based on need).
So, those who rail against seniority-based policies – using oversimplified characterizations such as "last in, first out" – sometimes appear rather out of touch with the reality of how these policies actually work, and how much they vary by location. The public (and perhaps some policymakers as well) may not be aware of these details, and we should be clear about the current situation before deciding whether and how to change it.
Third, all of the outrage against seniority seems way overblown. It has for decades been considered a fair and impartial way of proceeding, in both the public as well as private sectors (though it is far more common in the former, and among unionized employees in both sectors).
In education, this policy also has some research backing: Even by the narrow measure of student test score growth, experience is among the few proven signals of teaching quality (see here, here, here, here, or our summary here), to say nothing of the possibility that experience matters more when it comes to other student learning outcomes (including, by the way, reducing attrition; experienced teachers are less likely to leave the profession).
In short, seniority is definitely imperfect, but it is hardly outrageous to use it as a proxy for quality. There is a reason why districts have long agreed to use it in layoffs and other decisions, and why virtually every nation in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development uses it in determining teacher pay. Let's cool it with the "seniority hurts kids" rhetoric.
(Side note: In both the New York and Washington simulations, seniority-based layoffs did not affect higher-poverty schools more than "quality-based" terminations, as some previous analyses have found, with much fanfare.)
The fourth and final issue with the anti-seniority uproar is probably the most important for policy purposes: The implication that there is a better alternative that is willfully being overlooked.
Most critics simply attack the existing policies without specifying a replacement, which is really the most important element here. New evaluation systems would seem a viable option, but in most places, this work is still very much in progress. Completing it should be our focus, rather than rushing to eliminate seniority before we have a solid method with which to replace it. Until we do, any unqualified argument that we should select based on "quality" amounts to little more than a talking point.
I have not yet heard anyone state publicly that we should conduct layoffs based solely on value-added scores, but assuming these people exist, their policy preference raises a few important questions and issues that bear on the debate.
First off, and most obviously, one has to wonder how they plan to account for the fact that the vast majority of teachers do not get these scores (i.e., they teach untested grades/ subjects). How are they to be selected?
But let's say we did it – we chose who to lay off based on value-added estimates alone. Putting aside all issues of fairness and applicability, the achievement benefits are not quite as grand as you may have heard. The estimates from growth models, due mostly to random error and measurement error, are highly unstable over time. This means that the teachers who are "saved" from being laid off by a "quality-based" policy (i.e., they would have been laid off under a seniority system) will be a fraction as effective in future years compared with the initial layoff year (and, even in the initial year, many teachers will be fired and retained erroneously).
For example, in the aforementioned New York simulation, the teachers who would have been fired based on seniority (but were retained in the layoff based on value-added) were only about one-third as effective (relative to their fired colleagues) two years after the simulated layoff (though the difference was still significant). Even if you accept the estimates at face value, the achievement payoff declines rapidly over time because the measure is subject to high degrees of error.
This suggests an obvious point, but always an important one: The idea of "quality-based" layoffs sounds great in an editorial, but, in practice, measuring "quality" is tenuous even when you predefine it (e.g., in terms of value-added). Note also that, even in the initial year, the simulations show that layoffs would have to be rather large to have any appreciable effect on overall student achievement (though some layoffs may in fact be large, and many individual students would be affected either way).
Then there are the savings, which is, lately, the big selling point of this policy. While it is true that "quality-based" layoffs would result in fewer dismissals to achieve the same level of budget cuts, one must, as Bruce Baker points out, put these "savings" in proper perspective. Even if we could terminate, say, 10-15 percent fewer teachers using value-added instead of seniority (as was the case in the Washington simulation), this doesn't save money per se (typically, you have to cut a certain amount), it only saves teachers. The benefits might show up, for example, in outcomes such as class size.
From that perspective, it is noteworthy that, as is the case with achievement, seniority-based layoffs would have to be rather large to have an appreciable overall effect on class size, relative to "quality-based" layoffs (though, once again, many individual students and classrooms would affected). Of course, every little bit helps (especially if you're one of the teachers who might be fired or one of the students who might have had a smaller class), but the idea of using "quality-based" layoffs as a means to solving budget gaps is unrealistic and misleading. I would also reiterate that, in my view, layoff policies are serious educational decisions, and any budgetary implications should be viewed as entirely secondary.
So, again – I fully support exploring alternatives to seniority-based layoffs. I'm far from certain that they are the best option, and the idea of laying off based on more nuanced, multidimensional measures is clearly preferable (to whatever degree layoffs are ever preferable).
But the case against seniority is misleading and overstated, while its alternatives remain unclear and their benefits sometimes exaggerated. The goal of this particular debate – finding the least destructive way to conduct layoffs – is one we all share, but using simplistic, misleading arguments to stir up outrage is counterproductive, and it risks pressuring states and districts into hasty, ill-considered policy decisions. Let's also keep our eye on the ball here: Better measures of teacher quality that will yield benefits regardless of the fiscal environment.

Sometimes it seems like idiots run all our institutions. The Fed stands accused of falling asleep at the wheel of regulation, letting the economy crash. Homeland Security and TSA...there HAS to be some German phrase that sums up their deadpan style of ineptness. The military hasn't scored any comprehensive victory in over 65 years. And so on.
Certainly the schools have taken their lumps. In part, it is because we so often compare poorly to other developed countries - but that is true in measures of all sorts of stuff from happiness to health, so education isn't special in that regard. It's simply not efficient to have so much standard setting, law making and crime enforcement going in fifty different directions, as our system of state government dictates.
But, also, progress in the schools is hindered by some common false assumptions. These include:
A) it is possible to measure progress at a fairly granular level
B) the schools have declined when graduation rates have actually peaked and essentially held
C) all students are capable of absorbing a decent education at a cost we can afford
D) academic education is the key to personal and societal success (tell that to the Saudi king; 44% of his unemployed are college grads)
E) colleges provide generally sound, useful, and high quality instruction

There are times when teachers just burn out. The idea they can plow through the remainder of their career just floating downstream serves no one but the teacher and the union.
Suppose we changed to a program much like the pro sports groups. Draft a better teacher or bring in a better teacher from another league (city, state, etc.) The players have a union and sports programs get by changing those folks around.
I agree, we need to invest some research in another way. John has some valid points, but the Saudi King has more than half the unemployed without higher academic skills.

Experienced teachers are the best, in general. They know what works and what doesn't and know which battles to pick.
The whole emphasis on teacher evaluation is mistaken. Principals or supervisors should be circulating and know what is going on in their buildings.
Teachers are being demonized by the press these days. Why?
Posted by: georgia198305 | February 9, 2011 10:06 AM | Report abuse
As a former teacher, I agree with Di Carlo that abandoning layoffs based on seniority in favor of those based on "quality" is rife with problems.
First, as Di Carlo pointed out, "quality" is hard to define for our teachers: Is it raising one group of students' test scores one year? Over multiple years? What if your subject isn't tested? Does it matter if the teacher adds value to the school by coaching or other extracurricular activity(e.g., is the teacher the soccer coach or drama director)?
Teacher effectiveness can be influenced by the students, subject, administrators and other variables. If Teacher X has a high value-added score teaching gifted students, but is switched the following year to a remedial course-load by her principal, and has low value-added scores after one year with the new group of students, is Teacher X effective or ineffective? Should she be fired, or simply moved back to the gifted classes?
These are all real-world issues that complicate the desire to quickly label teachers as ineffective or effective and make firing decisions based on that label. Although seniority has some of its own problems, it remains a reliable and consistent method to handle reductions in force for teachers.

The discussion about seniority seems to have devolved into an expressed belief that young teachers are superior to older teachers, which is bringing us dangerously close to age discrimination. Should districts actually succumb to this stereotype and lay off a higher proportion of experienced teachers (thus saving more money), I see a rash of law suits. It's interesting that this article appears on the same page as the article about DC owing millions in back-pay to teachers who were arbitrarily fired by Rhee. Engaging in age discrimination could cost districts a lot of money in the long run.

@someguy100--It's not firing based on age. It's last hired, first fired. Thus a second career teacher, who could be in their 40's or 50's, may be fired because they were last hired. There's a difference.

I think those who want to elimate seniority based layoffs, need to be laid off themselves. They need to take the poison they are forcing on others themselves.

"Should districts actually succumb to this stereotype and lay off a higher proportion of experienced teachers (thus saving more money), I see a rash of law suits. "
I do, too. I am always amazed at how rarely this is pointed out. (For the record, I am a second career teacher with no seniority, so would probably be kept just to establish non-discrimination).
The fact is, senior teachers cost more, and no matter how you do the calculations, the extra money they cost won't be worth it in an era of cost-cutting. Eliminate seniority protection without also establishing variable salaries within a range (like they have in corporate America) and teachers will be hard pressed to find a job after ten years.

A lso,does anyone really believe that capable students will go to school for 5 years (Ca), spend thousands of dollars, have student loans to pay off, for a job that will only last 10 years? You've got to be kidding yourself if you think people will choose teaching as a profession without some sort of due process laws.
Posted by: chicogal | February 9, 2011 10:50 PM | Report abuse
No matter how a school chooses which teachers to lay off, we need to require that all high school teachers (at least--I would be in favor of extending this to all teachers above the first few grades) have college degrees in the academic subject they teach. Otherwise, it is perfectly legal for a high school needed to cut several teachers to lay off a history teacher and divide his or her class load up among the English or math teachers.

US Airways Makes Move to Take Over American
By Money and Money Watch
Updated: February 02, 2017
MoneyWatch | US Airways (LCC) has filed an 8K with the SEC to begin the process of a takeover of American Airlines, which is currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
According to the SEC, Form 8-K is the 'current report' companies file with the SEC to announce major events that must be disclosed to shareholders.
American Airlines has said it wants to emerge from bankruptcy as a standalone carrier. American Airlines parent AMR, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Nov. 29, 2011, is trying to slash its annual labor costs by $1.25 billion and emerge from court supervision. Next week, the struggling airline will try to convince a bankruptcy judge to let it void existing union contracts and impose new ones to secure those spending cuts.

Photos: Top 10 Local Albums of 2012
Chicago's music scene is as sprawling, deep and diverse as the metropolis itself, and it would be impossible for any one person to take in everything produced by the city's musicians over the course of the year. With that caveat in mind, here are the 10 local albums I returned to most often in 2012. --Andy Downing, for RedEye

The latest reports forth coming
from the Coffee Shop say thus as
to the number of articles sold per
Beverages—One dozen bottles,
root beer, cokes, and oranges
Pie—One dozen plain pieces.
Pie a la mode — One dozen
"Glorified pieces".
Rolls—One dozen.
Bismarks—Two dozen.
Coffee—Thirty cups.
Gum—Four packages.
Drumsticks—Two Dozen.
Cheerios—One Dozen.
Pencils-150 have been sold so
far this year.
Stamps—Two or three dollars
The most popular candy bar is
said to be the Hershey almond
bar of which about ten are sold
per day.
On Thursday, which is Hot-dog
Day, about two dozen "warmed
canines" are sold.
Toasted cheese sandwiches are
now being served for breakfast.
The breakfast patrons are about
twelve in number, the most per-sistent
of which is Mr. Tanyas.
The reason, of course, is obvious.
As to the many reasons students
give for visiting C. S., they are
too numerous and, shall we say,
ludicrous to mention. However, for
one reason or another about 150

Johnson Appointed
Work Well Under Way
Information about the Spire has
now been officially released. Ber-nard
Hammerbeck has taken over
the duties of editor and is now
working on page lay-outs and pre-liminary
Gene Johnson has been appointed
art editor. Further staff arrange-ments
have not been made.
"This year marks the beginning
of a new chapter in the life of
Bethel; a new president and a wo-men's
dormitory contribute to the
possibilities for advancement in
the future.
"Our Spire this year will be a
pictorial attempt to review the life
of the school. as it flows with ever
increasing vitality in the 'veins'
provided through organizations, fa-culty,
and students,"stated Bernard
Hammerbeck, Spire editor.
Several new feature pages are to
be added to the Spire this year.
One of these is to be on Prayer
and missionary day. Additional
subjects for feature page material
will be chosen later.
Photographers, Roger Rehndal,
Mary Hamline, Stamford Widen,
and Ellwood Norquist, are active-ly
taking pictures of school life,
chapel speakers, etc.
Gene Nyman: We have enough
prospective players here to build
a first-rate team...Most other mem.
bers of the S. Minnesota Confer-ence
have football clubs. Above
all, this sport is one of the best
from a standpoint of physical de-velopment.
Ted Van Der Veer: Sure: come
out and see us Monday and Wed-nesday
mornings. We've got a team
already! (or all ready, Ted?)
Paul Larson: Boy, we've got man-power!
I frankly play end and
guard... End of the bench and
guard of the water pail.
Val Hauk: Yes, I prefer "Chester-field
Rugby." (Sissy!)
Verna Jorgenson: Yes, a team
would help create school spirit.
Earl Johnson: Yes, because there
is too much idle man power a-round
here. Nothing to do!
Students' Conference
Nov. 14-16 at Bethel
It is Bethel's privilege to be host
to the Students' Missionary Con-ference,
November 14-16, for their
Annual Fall Missionary Conven-tion.
The speaker is to be David
H. Adeny, returned missionary
from China.
Mr. Adeny has served seven
years in China with the China
Inland Mission. He is now travel-ing
to colleges and universities in
America under the Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship in the interest
of the evangelization of the world:
Other missionaries are being in-vited
to be present at the conven-tion
and to bring a greeting and a
sidelight of their particular field of
service. Thus a more composite
view of world missions in action
will be presented, and will be a
source of inspiration and informa-tion
to all in attendance.
The purpose of the Students'
Missionary Conference is to pro-mote
on international interest
among the students of American
colleges, Bible Institutes, and simi-lar
institutions, in world ,wide Mis-sions.
The main object is to stimulate
a concerted interest in missions,
which will encourage students to
more active participation in their
local missionary organization.
The conference is an out-growth
of the Students Volunteer Group.
Herb Johnson: Sure, everyone at
home asks how our football team
is doing this year... Like the dra-gon,
"I'm reluctant" to say we
haven't one.
Ed Nelson: No! Being a Chris-tian
school I do not believe we
need a team as a means of in-creasing
either spirit or numbers.
Ethel Ruff: No! Bethel has
enough expenses...It would involve
too much equipment and danger of
Mae Hulbert: If we have a team
we'll get more publicity.
Anything that stirs up enthu-siasm
attracts both the desirable
and the undesirable. The type of
enthusiasm largely governs the
type of student.

of school life. I am much inter-ested

A prince in Israel has fallen! DT.
Carl G. Lagergren, for thirty-three
years dean of Bethel Seminary, has
gone to be with the Lord.
Hundreds of Seminary men have
gone out from his classroom to
take their places as pastors, evan-gelists,
and missionaries, and the
stamp of his faith in God's Word
and his faithfulness to his Christ
has been on their hearts and lives.
We see, then, what influence this
one man has had on the work of
our denomination over a period of
Dr. Lagergren was among us like
a giant oak, like a tree planted by
living waters. Converted at the
age of sixteen, his brilliant mind
sought the halls of learning, in
order to prepare for service. Swe-den's
greatest university became
his alma mater, but Christ was
dearest to his heart.
Early he made his choice to
preach the gospel, but not in the
State Church of Sweden, where he
could have had a lucretive living,
but rather among the despised dis-senters,
the humble Baptists.

Luther Smith to Speak
Friday; Schedule Change

day Bethel has opportunity of se-curing
his services for a Convoca-tion

that time. Friday's class schedule
will be set aside in favor of Tues-day's

Mr. Smith is president of the

In Memorium of One Who

Gophers Fail to Halt Bethel in Touchtown Plunge
A Play by Play Review by an Alert Reporter
Stragetically at Non-Dormant Dorm
"There's a man in the house! And we mean in! Up on second floor,
if you please. The man was Sid Wyma, and 'twas a very urgent and
mysterious phone call which necessitated his being on second floor one
evening not so long ago. We still don't know what it was about, but did
hear him singing at times. Could it be one of those "singing telegrams"
that love-sick swains croon to their dearly beloveds? If so, we wonder
who SHE is.
Speaking of singing, we of the girls' dorm have a real "opery star" in
our midst. You're apt to hear her at any time of the day or night burst-ing
forth in song. When you make your sleepy, somewhat unsteady way
down the chilly corridors at 6:15 of a morning, she will greet you
cheerfully, with a hearty, "Good Morning to you!" to the tune of "do-do-me-
sol- do." Or if she does not succeed in arousing your spirits thus,
when you are deep in slumber at 12:00 p.m. or thereabouts, her "soothing"
theme-song will go ringing down
the hall. At such times we all
say with a sigh, "Thelma's home;" "OH FRIGHT!"

somewhat smaller in num-ber

Los Angeles, Cal.
Dear Friends.
I'm still here in sunny Cali-fornia
saving for education in
years to come. I was so lone-some
for school that I decided
to go to another "Bd." or Bible
Institute of Los Angeles.
Biola is a fine school with
about 4.00 students. It com-pares
with Moody in its cre-dentials,
spirit, and doctrine.
It's official publication, as you
well know, is "The King's Busi-ness."
Well, that's the way I
spend my time – work and
school work--18 hours a day!
I was sorry for Bethel to
hear that Prof. Hultgren left,
but now we have him in our
midst. We're going to have a
party at our "B" house and he's
going to be here next Saturday
nite. I should say that we
mean Joel Strandberg, Carl
Nordell, Don Tanquist, Allan
Johnson, and myself (The
Minnesota Hungry Five). We
have a six room mansion all
of our own with a grand piano,
etc., Oh everything. Joel made
a trip to St. Patil during his
father's recent illness . . no
doubt some of you saw him.
The main purpose of this
letter was to send a small
contribution for the Girl's
Dorm. (Who says the men
won't contribute?) God has so
richly blessed me that I can
not but give of my means to a
school I love and pray for.
Please greet all the faculty
and students from me person-ally
(and I'd like to hear from
them too). I'm so far from
"B" I wonder what's going on.
Who are the cheerleaders, pho-tographers,
etc? Please ex-cuse
the lack of unity and
poor penmanship displayed in
this letter.
In His Service,
Clifford Bjorklund
P. S. How come Homecom-ing
is so early this year?
State parties are all the vogue
at the G. D. nowadays. A week ago
last Saturday, some South Dakota-ites
of Bethel were privileged to
dine most sumptuously in our new
dining-room. Among those present
of the "timid sex" were Carl Lund-quist,
Sidney Wyma, and Bob Olson
The supper was in honor of Leona
Pearson, a former Bethelite. The
real South Dakota party, including
all natives of S. D. will be held at
a later date. This Thursday night
the "Middle-East Kids" are to enjoy
supper together.
A new endeavor, and one which
shows great promise of blessing, is
the 10:00 evening prayer meeting
each night in the rooms on second.
floor. The meeting lasts only fif-teen
minutes, for the prayers are
short in that we pray definitely
for one certain thing.
The girls are very willing and
eager to have us use their rooms as
meeting-places. These evening de-devotions
have been of great help,
blessing and inspiration to us all.
If you have any doubt of this,
listen to the girls tell of answered
They Wouldn't
Believe it:
That Miss Johnson is seriously
considering taking a course at
the U. on Mature Thinking . . .
That the girl's in the dorm
ever get any sleep . .
That Janet Lyth is a little
slat-happy . . .
That $56 was appropriated
from our student activities fees
for an enlarged "B" book and

the ghosts and witches have their
sway at a Halloween party.
After a tour through the base-ment
of the building, the "green-ies"
were entertained by a few
"victims" in a truth and conse-quenses

this amusement was the bath

Other features of the

F. E. Nelson: My tests are al-ways

I will give them another

Miss Platts: I always make my
tests hard, because the students
don't study unless I do. I feel that
at least ten per-cent will pass, but
the semester test will govern fail-ure.
There is really no point to
start studing about ten o'clock the
night before.
Prof. Norstrom: I have no idea

don't like to anticipate such things.
My mid terms are very important.
If you flunk, sir, it will be impossi-ble
to pass with more than a "C"
average in the spring.

all passed but one. (Oh! Oh! Who

For thirty-three years he filled this

In the last week of the touch-ball
schedule the Trojans are lead-ing
with fifteen victories. There
are exactly three games remaining
to be played in the different sec-tions
before the play-offs begin.
At present, the Trojans and Wol-verines

with the Wolverines claim-ing
no victories. This seems to be
a very marked difference, but all of
games have been rather close with
the winning passes or runs being

The success of the Trojan team
is due to their alert backfield and
their hard working line. In the
backfield the Trojans have Bud

very fine runs, passes and inter-ceptions,
as well as doing some ex-ceptionally
fine blocking.
In the line the Trojans have
Sidney Wyma, Kenneth Christo-pherson,
Norman Hoover, Dana

Johnson, and Bob Hails. The
Trojans are, of course, hoping to be
undefeated by any team this year.
In the other gym classes, the
Gophers and the Huskies are still
battling back and forth to gain play-off
competition. Right now the
score stands seven to six in favor
of the Gophers, but this week can
make quite a change.
In the sophomore gym class it is
closer than ever, with each team
having six victories. In the last
game played, Roland Gustafson of

This gave his team a six to nothing

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock futures point to a lower open on Wall Street Friday, poised to build on the prior day's losses as investors wait for consumer-sentiment data to gauge if the economy is back on a stronger growth track.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJU4 slipped 30 points, or 0.2%, to 16,731, while those for the S&P 500 index US:SPU4 gave up 4.60 points, or 0.2%, to 1,943.90. The Nasdaq 100 index US:NDU4 slipped 5.75 points, or 0.2%, to 3,811.75.
The Dow and the S&P 500 indexes were both on track for weekly declines as profit-taking and increasing Iraq tensions sent markets lower. On Thursday, stocks closed mostly lower after some slightly disappointing economic reports and rate-hike comments from St. Louis Fed president James Bullard. No Fed speakers are planned to speak on Friday.
Instead, the main data report was the June University of Michigan consumer-sentiment index, which "perhaps holds the greatest potential, as this will act as another measure of whether the U.S. economy can stomach a rate hike," Joao Monteiro, analyst at Valutrades, said in a note.
The reading is set for release at 9:55 a.m. Eastern Time, and it is expected to rise to 81.9 from a flash estimate of 81.2, according to economists polled by MarketWatch.
Investors were also looking ahead to a raft of important releases next week, including the closely watched nonfarm-payrolls report, ISM manufacturing data and factory orders. The nonfarm-payrolls report will be released Thursday, a day early, due to the Fourth of July holiday on Friday.
"Following the ugly 2.9% fall in Q1 U.S. GDP (...) markets will be looking to next week's busy data week for reassurance that the Q2 bounce-back is going to be a good one" analysts at Investec Securities said in a note on Friday.
In corporate moves, shares of Nike Inc. NKE, +0.53% climbed 2.9% in premarket trade after the sporting-gear maker late Thursday reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings.
Manitowoc Co. MTW, +3.90% shares surged 9.4% ahead of the bell, after a New York Times report on Thursday that an activist investment firm is seeking to break the company in two.
GoPro Inc. GPRO, -0.78% is up 1.3% premarket and is set for another positive trading day after surging more than 30% on its market debut Thursday.
DuPont Co. US:DD shed 3.3% ahead of the bell, after the chemical company late Thursday cut its second-quarter and full year profit outlook due to the worse-than-expected performance of its agriculture unit. Shares fell 1.9% in extended trading.
In earnings on Friday, KB Home KBH, +1.41% shares rose 2.1% premarket after the home builder's quarterly earnings and revenue beat estimates.
Finish Line Inc. US:FINL shares rose 4.8% in premarket trading as the sporting-apparel retailer reported better-than-expected quarterly results. It's fiscal first-quarter profit more than doubles.
In other markets, Asian stocks closed mostly lower, while European benchmarks were mixed and headed for weekly losses. Both oil CLQ4, +0.00% and gold prices US:GCQ4 ticked up, while the dollar DXY, +0.40% moved lower.

More voters undecided on taxes, poll says
Numbers of undecided on Props. 30, 38 grow in poll
Sacramento --
The number of California voters who are undecided on how to vote on two competing tax measures has increased with fewer than seven weeks left before the November election, and Gov. Jerry Brown's Proposition 30 is barely hanging on to a majority, according to a new poll.
The poll shows that Prop. 30 has the support of 51 percent of Californians while Proposition 38, a tax-raising measure pushed by multimillionaire Molly Munger, has 41 percent of voter support.
Both measures need a majority vote to pass.
While support dropped slightly for both propositions from a July survey, that decrease was within the margin of error of the survey.
The survey was conducted by the Institute for Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley-Field Poll. Another poll released Wednesday by the Public Policy Institute of California showed similar levels of support and opposition.
According to the UC Berkeley-Field Poll, 51 percent of likely voters surveyed support Prop. 30, while 36 percent said they would vote against it. Thirteen percent were undecided.
For Prop. 38, 41 percent of likely voters surveyed said they would vote in favor, 44 percent said they would vote against it, and 15 percent said they were undecided.
Weighing the merits
Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field Poll, said the shift of people into the undecided category for both measures - an increase of 5 percentage points for Prop. 30 and 7 percentage points for Prop. 38 - shows voters are beginning to weigh the merits of the competing measures.
"I think people are starting to hear campaign claims and they're getting the fact that there are two different things," he said. "If I'm for the schools, which one do I go with? I think that's really what's happening."
He said the poll results are still an early measure of voters' attitudes.
"Once voters get the actual ballot pamphlets from the registrar of voters ... that's really when the rubber is meeting the road. We're still not there yet," he said.
Prop. 30 details
Prop. 30 would increase the sales tax by 1 cent for every $4 for four years and increase the personal income tax rate on individuals earning more than $250,000 a year and couples earning more than $500,000 a year for seven years. The money generated, with estimates ranging from $6 billion to $9 billion per year, would be spent on general state services, including public education.
Voter rejection of Prop. 30 would trigger nearly $6 billion in spending cuts, including $5.3 billion from K-12 public schools and community colleges. The University of California and California State University systems would each take a $250 million cut.
Some school districts have already made contingency plans in case the measure fails and Wednesday the CSU trustees approved a tuition increase if voters reject the tax.
Opponents of the measure say the spending cuts are akin to a multibillion-dollar ransom note to voters from the governor.
Prop. 38 details
Prop. 38 would raise the personal income tax rate on nearly everyone for 12 years, with the highest earners paying the most by far. It would raise as much as $10 billion per year, with the money dedicated almost entirely to K-12 public schools.
If Prop. 38 passes and Prop. 30 fails, the automatic spending cuts still would take effect. If both pass, the measure that receives more votes takes effect.
According to the Public Policy Institute of California poll, 52 percent support Prop. 30, while 40 percent are opposed and 8 percent have no opinion.
That the support and opposition have remained relatively stable show that recent political developments that some have said would doom the governor's tax measure - including the approval of billions in spending on high-speed rail and millions that were hidden in the parks budget - have not affected voters, said Jack Citrin, professor of political science at UC Berkeley and director of the Institute for Governmental Studies.
"I think the pro (Prop. 30) side has weathered some bad news," Citrin said.
And while conventional wisdom in Sacramento says tax measures need to start with support around 60 percent, Citrin said that may just be conventional thinking and not very wise.
That's an argument made by those running Brown's tax campaign. Ace Smith, a San Francisco-based political consultant who has been challenging what he has called "stale" thinking on what it takes to pass a tax initiative, said the number of voters who can be persuaded to change their minds in both national and local elections has shrunk.
Because of that, he said, "The strategy is very basic. It's really about holding and growing our base and really having a good conversation with those voters who are up for grabs."
Get ready for TV ads
The first television ads for the propositions are expected to start airing in the next few weeks.
Even backers of Prop. 38, which has yet to pass the 50 percent threshold in any public poll, said they are still positive about their prospects.
"Once we begin the air war, our numbers will start to climb as voters learn about how Prop. 38 can help schools," said Nathan Ballard, spokesman for the Prop. 38 campaign.
The UC Berkeley-Field Poll was based on a survey of 1,183 registered California voters and was conducted from Sept. 6 to Sept. 18. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
The Public Policy Institute of California poll was based on a survey of 2,003 California adult residents from Sept. 9 to Sept. 16. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points for likely voters.

Please select your meditation time
Start Meditating
Conclude Meditation
St Paul
St Paul is often credited with founding Christianity. Certainly it would not have developed as it did without him. Nor would he have developed it as he did, if he had not been thrown from his horse on the road to Damascus and in a blinding light had seen Jesus and had his life utterly changed.
The Mystical Experience of Jesus
Last week we saw that mystical consciousness is as old as the hills. Most of the great scientists of our own age also came to see the world this way – unitively and reverentially. The roots of what we call the Christian mystical tradition, therefore, predate the historical Jesus.
The Roots of Christian Mysticism
In a neolithic burial mound built five thousand years ago in County Meath we can observe a decisive stage in the development of human consciousness.
Meditation – a different way of learning
Learning to meditate and learning what meditation has to teach us are both different kinds of learning from what we are used to. We are not learning anything 'new' in our usual understanding of novelty. We are relearning something known in childhood and lost before we could maturely integrate it .
It is simple, but not easy
"Therefore I bid you put away anxious thoughts about food and drink to keep you alive, and clothes to cover your body. Surely life is more than food and the body more than clothes" (Matthew 6:25).
Our interior senses
With increasing detachment from our conditioning and from the need to use the world and other people as emotional props, we at times leave behind the things that hinder.
Enering the Silence
It takes courage to leave our thoughts, our 'ego' behind, to leave the comfort of our conditioning, to let go – however temporarily - of our sense of identity and individuality that we have shaped out of our thoughts. But it is essential "to leave self behind" to follow Jesus into the Silence and discover, who we truly are, a child of God.
The Stages of the Journey (2)
As we have seen meditation leads us to a greater awareness of our conditioning and hence to self-knowledge and ultimately freedom. One helpful way of entering the silence is to remember that all our thoughts are thoughts about the past or the future.
The Stages of the Journey
"Meditation is a way of breaking through from a world of illusion into the pure light of reality". (John Main)
The world of illusion that John Main refers to in this statement is the world we build up out of our thoughts. Many of us equate who we are with what we think.
Why do we meditate?
Meditation with its one-pointed focus, whether on the breath, on movement or in our case on a mantra, is a scientifically proven way to relaxation both of mind and body.
Purely by paying attention on our word, our breathing and heart rate slow down by themselves and calm the fidgety body.

I'm 25, I'm single and everybody except me is wondering why and quite a few have decided it's their personal responsibility to set me up with the dream boy. Especially at weddings and family events, cupid sports a saree, big kumkum and comes smiling and ask fondly about my career, education and blah blah. "What are your expectations?" that question my friend, comes out to me in slow motion and I wince at every syllable that comes out of that heavily lipsticked mouth.
The question, in my humble opinion, is pointless. Which girl would ever say, "Yes aunty, bring on a drug addict, who looks like shit, doesn't earn much and yeah the meaner the better." Okay fine, I said it once to an aunt of mine but hello that was sarcasm! We all want the best!
But none the less, I want to think it out. What do I really want? Does he have to be rich, does he have to be a stunner, should he be funny, should he be a cook, should he blah blah blah!
And yeah, I don't care about his profession, caste, complexion or whatever. I still wonder how those parameters help me decide if i want to spend the rest of my life with someone. So then what am I looking for?
I want a guy I can't wait to see every day (yeah clichéd, i know!), somebody I can be myself with, somebody who understands why I do the stupid things I do, somebody who gets annoyed with those silly things and yet loves me enough to roll his eyes and put up with it. I want a guy who doesn't make me feel like an idiot for being a klutz. I want someone who will catch me when I have my bizarre falls and then laugh about them with me. I want a guy who knows if I'm going to laugh or scream from the way my nose flares up. I want to be able to tell from his voice if something's bothering him.
When we go out, I want him to know which table to pick, so I don't crib. And I want to be able to order his dish, perfect to his taste without him having to say it. And once we place the order, I just want him to hold my hand and smile. I want to be able to sit with him, not say word and still feel content. I want to love his madness, his stupid ways and I want to love each and every one of his flaws. I want to crib about them, I want us to fight. I want us both to feel miserable after the fight, but still be eager to bury the hatchet.
I want all of that and I want to feel all of that for my man. Ab bolo, hai koi nazar mein?
PS: I'm singing 'The Way You Make Me Feel' an old old song by Ronan Keating… 'yeah, you somehow make things right :)'

Amanda Bynes pleaded no contest Thursday to driving with a suspended license, settling a case stemming from a September traffic stop that ended with the 27-year-old's car being impounded right out from under her.
Her license had been suspended earlier that month after a couple of alleged and since-settled hit-and-run incidents — those in the wake of an arrest on suspicion of DUI, which is still pending.
Don't expect to see a selfie of her from the Burbank courthouse, however. Bynes, who's hanging out in New York these days, wasn't on hand, so the plea was entered by her attorney, TMZ reports.
The penalty? Three years' probation, during which the self-proclaimed retired actress must obey all laws. She was warned not to drive without proper license and insurance and fined $300.
Good thing she's walking a lot these days.

Actress Julianne Hough has been laid low with a neck injury she originally sustained while shooting "Rock Of Ages" with Tom Cruise.
The 24-year-old star got hurt in 2011 during extensive dance training with Cruise for their movie musical, and he insisted on shutting down rehearsals so she could recover.
But the pain has once again flared up, and Hough admits she is in agony, tweeting, "Momma doesn't feel good today! Run down, scratchy throat. … Tweaked my neck from an injury I got on rock of ages 2 years ago. … Can't move!"
The "Footloose" beauty also posted a photo of her dogs, adding, "Babies are taking care of me! Love me unconditionally."
Hough previously praised Cruise for letting her rest after she injured herself: "Tom was really cool because I actually hurt myself. I've got that dancer mentality, like, 'I can keep going; I'm fine.' He's like, 'Julianne, this is what insurance is for. You've got a very long career ahead of you and a very long shoot ahead of you. Stop, and leave it to me.' I was like, 'Tom Cruise cares about me!' I had a Tom Cruise rescue."

In lieu of any preview images this time, may I direct you to the adultswim.com clips page, wherein one can view a number of spoiler-heavy, moderately joke-killing preview clips from future episodes. No doubt Adult Swim will keep posting more clips from other future episodes in that location during the coming week(s), so I guess keep checking back there from time to time. It's probably why they do that.
And, of course, there is also Adult Swim's "Friday Night Fix", wherein one can re-watch last week's premiere episode and, in a few hours, this week's episode up to 52 1/2 hours before the rest of the country gets to see it. Bear in mind, it's not as cool as watching it on TV for a lot of reasons (jerky streaming, lower quality picture and audio, and the lack of a certain indescribable energy a "live" broadcast possesses--like hearing your favorite song on the radio as opposed to on an iPod or something). I'm still not sure how I feel about this whole showing-the-episode-before-it-airs thing, but I'm just gonna roll with it as some sort of exercise in the power of the internet and viral marketing. Or something like that.
For those of you who bought the Venture Bros. Season One DVD, there is a "lost commentary" available for download at quickstopentertainment.com. We always knew there'd only be room for about four or five episode commentaries on the set, but we recorded a few extra ones as we worked out our various sound problems and tried to tried to acclimate ourselves to the idea of talking at our computer for 22 1/2 minutes. Also to give Adult Swim a variety to choose from. If you liked the commentaries on the DVDs, this is more of the same kind of fast and loose crap. If, however, like a number of people who complained that we just "wander off topic" and "never talk about the shows," you didn't enjoy the commentaries, well...never mind. You probably won't like this one either. But seriously, how much can you talk about the production of a cartoon? There are no amusing anecdotes about "that day on the set," and any time you want to say something like "this is the part where we ripped off ________," they just bleep it out for legal reasons anyway. Incidentally, quickstopentertainment, Kevin Smith's new entertainment news site, is the new home of Honorary Astrobase Cadet Ken Plume, who you may remember often cajoled us into giving him some extras and stuff for ignfilmforce in the past. Keep an eye out in this week's episode, "Hate Floats," for Ken's bedroom, which makes an appearance in the pre-credits sequence (some of the crap Ken's owned and/or sent us for free over the last year also appears, later in the episode). And then marvel at the sheer coincidence, the perfect symmetry of life, wherein we loosely base certain traits of a certain character of ours on our good friend, make that character dress like Kevin Smith used to, and then that self-same friend goes to work for Kevin Smith. Truth is stranger than fiction, and twice as beautiful. Even when it's not pretty.
Just for giggles, below are the titles of all of this season's upcoming episodes, in roughly the order they're to air. Figured I'd beat adultswim.com to the punch for once (titles and running order subject to last minute change, as is our habit):
"Powerless in the Face of Death"
"Hate Floats"
"Assassinanny 911"
"Escape to the House of Mummies"
"20 Years to Midnight"
"Victor. Echo. November."
"Fallen Arches"
"Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner?"
"I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills"
"¡Viva los Muertos!"
"Showdown at Cremation Creek"
|We Love You. JP.
P.S. How cool is it that Adult Swim is going to start showing Pee Wee's Playhouse?!?

New Delhi: Ekta Kapoor is set to take Emraan Hashmi and Huma Qureshi, lead actors of 'Ek Thi Daayan' to Allahabad to attend the Maha Kumbh. The religious producer wants the team to derive positive energy from the event.
"The Maha Kumbh is a renowned international event of epic proportions. Despite challenges in terms of logistics, we are taking the plunge to seek blessings and promote our first release of the year, in such a mammoth manner," Tanuj Garg, CEO, Balaji Motion Pictures, said in a statement.
They are expected to take a holy dip or `shahi snan` at Sangam, the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati rivers, on the auspicious Mauni Amavasya Feb 10.
It is said to be the busiest day in the Maha Kumbh, which is a 55-day affair. Lakhs of people are expected to be there, but that hasn`t deterred the celebrity trio and the Balaji Motion Pictures team.
Emraan and Huma will reach Allahabad as early as Feb 8, and engage in a series of innovative activities to promote the keenly awaited supernatural thriller. The team will reside in specially constructed tents on the banks of the Ganga, amid tight security.
Emraan, who has been running against time to complete his Indian projects to start his international shoot with Danis Tanovic, has taken out three days from his hectic schedule to be a part of the event.
'Ek Thi Daayan', co-produced by Vishal Bhardwaj and directed by Kannan Iyer, releases worldwide April 18.

Ahniwa Ferrari
About Ahniwa
My name is Ahniwa Ferrari, and I was an emerging librarian long before I became an ALA Emerging Leader. Now I find myself, pupa-esque, once again, quietly palpating in some informatical cocoon. Not that I'm not excited, no, it's just that all this emerging can tire a guy out and my last set of wings aren't even dry yet!
I started working in libraries in 2002, and moved to Montreal to attend the prestigious School of Information Studies at McGill University in 2006. I was president of the MLIS student body, graduated in 2008, and started working at the Washington State Library on May 1, 2008. Hooray!
I work at the WSL in Library Development, and my main job is to coordinate the statewide virtual reference cooperative. I also help coordinate other grand online projects, including: statewide database licensing, downloadable audiobooks (coming soon!), and the statewide catalog. A couple times a month I hop in a state car and go visit a handful of libraries somewhere in Washington State, which is by far my favorite aspect of the job (though virtual reference is pretty damn cool as well).
In my free time (if I had any), I like to play darts and bocce, create webcomics with my more artistic friends (I write, they draw), drink coffee, write stories (preferably about pirates), and keep up on interesting technologies and social trends. I just got married in July (2008) and couldn't be happier.
I'm a proud member of the Library Society of the World. I like French poetry, Lindy Hop, and the color blue.
I'm excited to be an Emerging Leader among so many other great people.

South Dakota State's John Stiegelmeier Previews 2013 Season [AUDIO]
Fresh off a season that saw his team win a home playoff game for the first time in decades, South Dakota State football coach John Stiegelmeier is adjusting to life as one of the favorites in the Missouri Valley Conference.
During the pre-season media conference call, Stiegelmeier talked about the Jackrabbits number two pre-season ranking in the Missouri Valley, taking it with a grain of salt and as a compliment all as the same time.
Just as they were in the regular season standings at the end of 2012, the Jackrabbits find themselves behind North Dakota State in the pre-season poll - and for good reason. The Bison are the two-time defending FCS Champions and have won 28 of their last 30 games.
Stiegelmeier knows the Bison are still the team to beat in the Missouri Valley.
As for SDSU, 15 starters are back from last season 9-4 team, which lost in round two of the FCS playoffs at North Dakota State.
So with that kind of success and so many players back, does Stiegelmeier believe this is his most talented team ever in Brookings?
Offensively for SDSU, running back Zach Zenner is the reigning rushing champ in FCS, and joins lineman Bryan Witzmann on the pre-season all-conference team, while quarterback Austin Sumner is trying to recover from an injury plagued 2012 season.
On defense, the Jacks have two pre-season all-conference selections in lineman Doug Peete and linebacker TJ Lalley, but there are some question marks on that side of the ball for SDSU.
As for Lalley, he is coming off of a very impressive freshman season that saw him tie for the team lead with six sacks. He was also second in tackles with 107, and notched a pair of interceptions while forcing two fumbles.
Despite all of that success in year one, his coach believes there is plenty of room for improvement for Lalley in 2013.
The one area where Stiegelmeier called out his team was on special teams, where he said SDSU needs more production in 2013.
The Jackrabbits open the 2013 season at home with Butler, August 31st in Brookings.

The use of traditional motion picture film cameras is likely on the way out as high quality digital video cameras become better and more affordable. A group of developers is capitalizing on this with Apertus, an open source software and open hardware cinematic HD camera for a professional production. While they're far off from a camera that's ready to shoot out of the box, the development is well under way. Hit play on the video above for more information about the project and check out these sample videos from the camera. And if you're a developer that loves the tools of cinematography (like yours truly), take a look at how you can help the project.
