A 4-year-old, 1.8 kg, male, castrated Maltese was presented for evaluation of urolithiasis. Urinary calculi were composed of ammonium biurate. Preprandial and postprandial bile acids were 44.2 and 187.3 µmol/ℓ , respectively (reference ranges 0-10 and 0-20 µmol/ℓ , respectively). Single-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography (CTA) with volume-rendered imaging (VRI) was obtained. VRI revealed a portocaval shunt originating just cranial to a tributary of the gastroduodenal vein and draining into the caudal vena cava at the level of the epiploic foramen. CTA revealed a 3.66 mm-diameter shunt measured at the level of the termination of the shunt and a 3.79 mm-diameter portal vein measured at the level between the origin of the shunt and the porta of the liver. Surgery was performed using cellophane banding without attenuation. Follow-up single-phase CTA with VRI was obtained 10 weeks after surgery. VRI revealed no evidence of portosystemic communication on the level of a cellophane band and caudal to the cellophane band. CTA demonstrated an increased portal vein diameter (3.79-5.27 mm) measured at the level between the origin of the shunt and the porta of the liver. Preprandial and postprandial bile acids were 25 and 12.5 µmol/ℓ, respectively (aforementioned respective reference ranges), 3 months post-surgery. No problems were evident at 6 months.
Keywords: cellophane banding, contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography, extrahepatic portosystemic shunt, volume-rendered imaging.
Portosystemic shunts are anomalous vessels that join the portal and systemic venous circulation, allowing most of the portal blood to bypass the liver and enter the systemic circulation and are classified as intrahepatic or extrahepatic2,13,17. Portosystemic shunting occurs either as a single congenital shunt or as multiple acquired shunts due to chronic portal hypertension11. Radiographic angiography2,15, scintigraphy19, sonography4, computed tomography angiography (CTA)1,7,25, and magnetic resonance angiography3 have been used to characterise portosystemic shunts in dogs. The recent development of computed tomographic equipment and imaging software has permitted the acquisition of highly accurate images of the portal system5,19,26. Presently available surgical options include complete ligation with suture materials, ameroid ring constrictor placement and cellophane banding11,14,18,22. A surgical technique using cellophane bands for treatment of extrahepatic portosystemic shunts has been described6, but the results concerning the degree of occlusion after cellophane band placement have not been reported.
This case report describes the use of cellophane banding using pre-and postoperative contrast-enhanced CTA and volume-rendered imaging (VRI) in a dog.
A 4-year-old, 1.8 kg, male, castrated Maltese was presented to the VIP Animal Hospital for evaluation of urolithiasis. The owner reported small body stature and urinary calculi. The urinary calculi were submitted for quantitative mineral analysis, which revealed an ammonium biurate composition. Abdominal radiographs revealed microhepatica. Low serum albumin (2.7 g/dℓ ; reference range 3.1-4.1 g/dℓ ), high glucose (172 mg/dℓ ; reference range 60-120 mg/dℓ ), and high alanine aminotransferase (73 U/ℓ; reference range 3-50 U/ℓ) were identified on serum biochemical profiling. Measurement of bile acid concentrations revealed elevated levels of preprandial and postprandial bile acids (Table 1).
CTA was performed a day after the specialised biochemical test to identify the origin and termination of a shunt vessel. The patient was premedicated with glycopyrrolate (Tabinul inj; Hana Pharm, Korea; 0.01 mg/kg, IM) and acepromazine (Sedaject inj; Samu Median, Korea; 0.05 mg/kg, IM), followed by anaesthetic induction with propofol (Provive inj; Claris Lifesciences, India; 6 mg/kg, IV). The patient was intubated and anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane (Ifran; Hana Pharm, Korea) and oxygen. Normal saline was administered intravenously at a rate of 5 m /kg/h until completion of the CTA procedure. The patient was imaged in dorsal recumbency and underwent a routine helical CT scan of the whole body (from the level of the thoracic inlet to the coxofemoral joint) using an Asteion 4 multi-detector CT device (Toshiba, Japan), followed by an angiographic whole-body scan. The scanning parameters were slice thickness of 1 mm, beam pitch of 1, 120 mA, and 150 KVp. Single-phase CTA with VRI was obtained, and involved acquiring a portal phase as the contrast medium reached the portal vein following a single injection. A dosage of 850 mgI/kg of iohexol (Iohexol 350 Omnipaque; Amersham Health, USA) was injected IV at a rate of 1m /sec with a maximum pressure of 42.66 lb/in2 using an Angiomat 3000 angiographic injector (Liebel Flarsheim, USA). For imaging of the portal vein, helical scanning was begun 50 s after the start of contrast medium injection. No bolus tracking technique was performed. VRI demonstrated that a portocaval shunt originated just cranial to a tributary of the gastroduodenal vein and drained into the caudal vena cava at the level of the epiploic foramen (Fig. 1a). CTA revealed a 3.66 mm-diameter shunt measured at the level of the termination of the shunt (Fig. 1b), and a 3.79 mm-diameter portal vein measured at the level between the origin of the shunt and the porta of the liver (Fig. 1c). Nephroliths and cystoliths were identified by CT scan. A diagnosis of extrahepatic portocaval shunt with nephroliths and cystoliths was made.
Surgical correction was performed the week following admission. Preoperative therapy included low-protein diet, lactulose (Duphalac; Choongwae Pharm, Korea; 1.5 mℓ, PO, tid) and metronidazole (Flasinyl CJ tab; CJ Cheil Jedang, Korea; 10 mg/kg, PO, tid). The patient received cefazolin (Cefazoline inj; Chongkundang Pharm, Korea; 20 mg/kg, IV) at the time of anaesthetic induction. The patient was positioned in dorsal recumbency. A ventral midline incision was made from the xiphoid process to the pubis. Abdominal exploration was within normal limits except for the portocaval shunt. The mesoduodenum was retracted to the left to approach the epiploic foramen. The shunt, originating from the portal vein and draining into the caudal vena cava, was identified at the epiploic foramen (Fig. 2). Agreement between CTA imaging and surgical findings was found. The shunt was isolated by means of blunt dissection for placement of a cellophane band. An ethylene oxide-sterilised cellophane band formed by folding 1.5 cmwide strip in thirds longitudinally was passed around the shunt. The cellophane band was secured using a hemoclip and 3-0 nylon (Nylon®; Namhae Chemical, Korea) without attenuation. No changes in heart rate, intestinal colour and motility and pancreatic color were identified. Cystotomy was performed to remove cystoliths. The linea albawas was closed using 3-0 polyglycolic acid (Dexon II®; Covidien Animal Health and Dental Division, USA) in a simple continuous pattern. The subcutaneous tissues and skin were closed using 4-0 polyglycolic acid and 3-0 nylon, respectively. The patient was given tramadol (Tridol; Yuhan, Korea; 2 mg/kg, PO) for pain. A low-protein diet, lactulose (1.5 mℓ , PO, tid), and metronidazole (10 mg/kg, PO, tid) were prescribed. Preprandial and postprandial bile acids levels were still elevated 2 months after surgery (Table 1). The aforementioned CT procedures were repeated 10 weeks after surgery. A cellophane band was identified on both routine and CTA images. The Hounsfield units of the cellophane band was 3028.60. VRI revealed no evidence of portosystemic communication on the level of a cellophane band and caudal to the cellophane band (Fig. 3a). CTA demonstrated an increased portal vein diameter of 3.79 to 5.27 mm, measured at the level between the origin of the shunt and the porta of the liver (Fig. 3b). The preprandial bile acid level was close to the reference range and the postprandial bile acid level was within the reference range 3 months after surgery (Table 1). When contacted 6 months after surgery, the owner reported that the dog was doing well.
One of the most commonly used methods for treatment of portosystemic shunts is cellophane banding6. This technique stimulates perivascular fibrosis and leads to gradual vascular occlusion11,20.The other commonly used method is the use of an ameroid ring constrictor16. In this technique, gradual attenuation occurs as casein slowly absorbs body fluid21. Despite the benefits associated with the use of an ameroid ring constrictor compared with cellophane banding, acute kinking of the shunt vessel after ameroid ring constrictor placement could account for increased morbidity and mortality rates in a manner similar to acute suture ligation of the shunt vessel, especially in smaller patients14. In view of the complications such as portal hypertension and perioperative seizures associated with attenuation of portosystemic shunts, the best surgical treatment should produce gradual and complete shunt attenuation, which would allow more time for the cardiovascular and nervous systems to adapt to changes in portal blood flow. In the present case no evidence of portosystemic communication was noted on VRI and multiplanar reformatted images 10 weeks after surgery. Furthermore, the authors could find no published data demonstrating complete attenuation of portosystemic shunt using VRI.
When portal blood is diverted away from the liver and into a systemic vein, the liver is deprived of hepatotrophic substances, such as insulin and glucagon, and the systemic circulation is exposed to unmetabolised intestinal toxins9,24. The aim of surgical treatment is to redirect portal blood through the liver. In the present case, increased portal vein diameter was demonstrated by CTA, concurrent with no evidence of clinical signs relative to portal hypertension. Increased portal vein diameter with no evidence of clinical signs relative to portal hypertension might make an accurate estimate of return to normal hepatic structure and function without using a mesenteric portovenogram.
As for the degree of attenuation, longterm prognosis for dogs in which the shunting vessel is able to be completely attenuated is excellent10, while 1 study has shown that up to 50% of dogs with partial attenuation exhibit recurrence of clinical signs12.
One study documented that complete shunt occlusion is less likely to occur when cellophane banding width is greater than 3mm24. In the present case, a 3.66 mm shunt in diameter was completely occluded without intraoperative attenuation 10 weeks after surgery and there was no evidence of recurrence of clinical signs 6 months after surgery. This finding was similar to that obtained in a previous study8. In this study, the non-attenuated group showed better prognosis than attenuation to a diameter <3.0 mm.
The development of various diagnostic techniques allows accurate detection of portosystemic shunts; however, diagnosis of congenital portosystemic shunts remains challenging. The ideal technique would be minimally invasive, inexpensive and would yield results rapidly and accurately. In addition, shunt location should be determined to avoid intraoperative mesenteric portography that is invasive and requires a prolonged episode of general anaesthesia. In the present case, use of CTA and VRI allowed highly accurate images of the portal system, which led to the determination of shunt location and decreased surgical and anaesthetic times.
Assessment of postprandial serum bile acid concentrations is performed to evaluate the outcome of patients surgically treated for portosystemic shunt23.Inthe present case, cellophane banding was performed without intraoperative attenuation and postprandial serum bile acid concentration was within reference limits 3 months after surgery. Two studies documented that complete and partial ligations of portosystemic shunt might put patients at higher risk for developing chronic subclinical portal hypertension and acquired shunts8,23. In these studies, postprandial serum bile acid concentrations increased over time in some dogs with partial attenuation. Cellophane banding without intraoperative attenuation results in slow and gradual decrease of bile acid concentration. One study reported that postprandial serum bile acid concentration decreased 6 months after cellophane banding in dogs without intraoperative attenuation8, whereas in the present case postprandial serum bile acid concentration was within reference limits 3 months after surgery. It is possible that a shunt that is larger in diameter than the shunt reported here could result in slow decrease of bile acid concentration, and would be a plausible explanation for the rapid return to the reference limits documented here. A study of postprandial bile acid concentration depending on shunt size is warranted to better predict the outcome of patients surgically treated for portosystemic shunt.

The Ford F150 is the bestselling pickup truck (and vehicle, for that matter) in the country, but when you combine the sales of the Chevrolet Silverado with the nearly-identical GMC Sierra, it's a different story. The General Motors pickups outsell the Ford handily and also outsell all the import-label pickup trucks combined. This means GM has a lot riding on its all-new Chevrolet Silverado, because this truck will be its standard-bearer for years to come. With that in mind, GM engineers and designers have made a veritable shipload of changes to the pickup, including an improved chassis, more precise steering and a quieter, more upscale interior offering two completely different looks. Meanwhile, the Silverado offers segment-leading fuel economy thanks to the new line of Active Fuel Management-equipped V8 engines. And for those with an ecological bent, a Flex-Fuel E85-capable engine is also available.

If you want to tailor your pickup truck to your exact requirements, the Chevrolet Silverado enables you to do just that with a wide variety of configurations, bed lengths and trim levels. The Silverado's V8 engine lineup offers Active Fuel Management technology and Flex-Fuel E85 capability.
You May Not Like This Car If...
The only quibble we have with the Silverado is the baffling array of choices buyers have - multiple trim levels, cab sizes, bed lengths and even instrument panels. Plus the Silverado Classic (the previous design) further muddies the waters for potential buyers.
What's New for 2007
The Silverado has been completely re-designed and re-engineered for the 2007 model year. While the old model was a bestseller, the new one is better than the previous version.
Driving It
Driving Impressions
Because it rides on the new GM full-size truck platform, the Chevrolet Silverado offers a markedly better ride-and-handling combination than its predecessor. The new platform includes a fully boxed frame (for more chassis stiffness), coil-over-shock front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, and the result is a surprisingly maneuverable and comfortable vehicle. Our lengthy test drive took us over rough, washboard gravel roads, yet the Silverado's cabin remained quiet and composed. We found it hard to choose between the "pure pickup" interior and the "luxury-inspired" interior, because both were handsome and functional. While the available 4.3-liter V6 could probably get most jobs done, the Silverado can also be equipped with a variety of V8 engines, most with 5.3-liter displacement. For those who'd like to tow their houses behind their trucks a 6.0-liter 367-horsepower aluminum block V8 is available as well. Power delivery with each V8 engine we tested was more than ample, and we were impressed with the smooth delivery of power through the electronically-controlled Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Chevrolet has made its StabiliTrak electronic stability control system standard on crew cab models, and it is available on extended cab models as an option.
Favorite Features
Big knobs
In a welcome bow to those who work hard to earn their keep - and who live in frigid climes - the Silverado has knobs, switches and door handles that can be easily operated while wearing gloves.
Active Fuel Management
The Active Fuel Management system available in four different V8s cuts the operation of four cylinders when they are unneeded and enhances fuel economy.
Vehicle Details
Because the Silverado was part of an extensive reworking of both full-size pickups and full-size SUVs, it features two distinct interiors. The WT and LT trim levels feature the "pure pickup" interior that features larger controls and a double glovebox, while the LTZ trim level features the same "luxury-inspired" interior that is also used in Chevrolet's LTZ-trim full-size sport utilities, Tahoe and Suburban. Both instrument panels are mounted lower and farther forward for an increased feeling of spaciousness and visibility. And both interior designs are attractive but, as you might guess, the up-level LTZ will be a hit with the suburban set, while others might favor the more functional traditional truck treatment. One area that everyone will agree on is the back-seat area in the crew cab models, which offers significantly improved room and comfort. The stadium-style rear seat has a 60/40-split design and folding center armrest. It can be easily folded up with one hand to provide an uninterrupted load floor. Cloth seats are standard on WT and LT models; leather seating is available on LT models along with a six-way, power-adjustable driver's seat. A lockable storage bin is built into a new 40/20/40-split bench front seat. The bin can accommodate a laptop computer and features a 12-volt power outlet.
Pure pickup - that's how GM designers describe the exterior of the new Silverado. With the widest track in the segment, the Silverado is substantial but it eschews the bulbous but juvenile muscularity of some of its competitors. Instead, it looks tailored and subdued front to rear. Highlights include narrow gaps between body panels, enabled by the new version's significantly stiffer frame that limits body flex. The new horizontal grille is divided by a thick bright metal bar that flanks a bold Chevrolet "bow tie" symbol. Designers also took special pains to integrate the pickup box while at the same time making it taller. Efforts were also made to limit the typically big gaps between tires and fenders in order to give the truck a more refined appearance without sacrificing utility. Standard wheels are 17 inches in diameter, while 18- and 20-inch wheels are also available. Entry to the rear seat/storage area of extended cab models is eased with new rear access doors that open 170 degrees, and power-operated rear side windows lower completely into the access doors.
Notable Standard Equipment
The Silverado comes in four trim levels - WT (work truck), 1LT, 2LT and LTZ - and that means the vehicle can be configured to meet what's envisioned for it from strictly commercial use to luxurious personal use. The base WT trim level includes a four-speed automatic transmission, tire pressure monitoring system, power rack-and-pinion steering, anti-lock brakes (ABS), air conditioning, tinted glass, full instrumentation and two auxiliary power outlets. The 1LT adds cruise control, compass and temperature-display rearview mirror, power windows, door locks and mirrors, remote keyless entry and CD/MP3 player audio system. Opting for the 2LT level nets you the 5.3L V8 engine with Active Fuel Management, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, six-way power front bucket seats, 17-inch custom aluminum wheels and steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls. The high-luxe LTZ brings with it niceties like 12-way power heated front bucket seats, leather-appointed seats front and rear, premium instrument panel, power-folding power-adjustable heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, MP3-compatible six-disc CD changer with auxiliary input jack and Bose premium speaker system, rear audio system controls, remote starting system and heated washer fluid system.
Notable Optional Equipment
The multiple trim levels should allow you to fine-tune your choice based on the equipment level you want, but the Silverado can also be optioned in several ways. It offers a dazzling array of five suspension systems, each tailored to suit specific driving requirements. They include Z83 for a solid, smooth ride, Z85 for enhanced handling and trailer towing, Z71 for enhanced off-road capability, Z60 for street performance with 20-inch wheels and NHT for maximum towing capacity. The StabiliTrak electronic stability control system is standard on crew cab models and available on select extended cab models. A choice of two- and four-wheel-drive models, various cabs and bed lengths and a variety of axle ratios are also offered.
Under the Hood
While we expect the 4.3-liter V6 and 4.8-liter V8 to be more than adequate in work truck applications, we recommend the 5.3-liter V8 engines, some with cast iron blocks and some with aluminum. And for those with a thirst for power (and towing capacity) the 6.0-liter with Active Fuel Management and variable valve timing is a gem. It offers significantly more power and torque (pulling force) with very little penalty in fuel economy.
4.3-liter V6

Pricing Notes
The Chevrolet Silverado has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $18,760 for a base, and somewhat spartan, work truck. The LT trim level with substantial equipment, and in Regular Cab form, starts at $24,410. The top-of-the-line LTZ model, new for 2007, has an MSRP starting at $32,105, and well-equipped LTZs could top $35,000. Since the 2007 Silverado is all-new, it is in demand and selling very close to suggested price. We advise that you check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see the typical price consumers are paying now. As the segment sales leader, the Silverado offers very good resale value, higher than the projected residual values for the Dodge Ram, Ford F150 and Nissan Titan and similar to that of the Toyota Tundra.

Vol. XXIII — No. 1 BETHEL INSTITUTE, St. Paul, Minnesota September 22, 1943
Week of Activities Welcomes the Freshmen
With a week tightly packed with freshman activities Bethel Junior
College opened its school year.
An Outing at Battle Creek Park, St. Paul, on Thursday, Sept. 9,
was the first event. Roland Gustafsan was in charge of games and
Dean Johnson served as hamburger and weiner chef.
The following was Home Talent Night in the reception room of
the Girls' Dormitory. Entertainment consisted of a piano solo by
Grace Byland, a vocal solo by Phyllis Anderson, and a girls' trio of
.lane Larson, Ruth Elaine Anderson, and Lois Carlson. Dale Bjork
and Lloyd Nordstrom sang together, Dorothy Benson and Betty Mae
Nelson played a trumpet duet, and a trombone solo was given by Weston
Seaquist. Wilbur Ericson also played some improvisations on the
piano. Later punch and cookies were served in the dining room of
the dormitory.
Faculty Wives
Freshman Girls
A tea which was sponsored by
the faculty wives, welcomed the
B. W. A. freshmen girls on Sep-tember
Mariam Johanson, chairman of
the Big and Little Sister organiza-tion,
was in charge of the program
which featured introductions of
the Big and Little sisters, special
musical numbers, and toasts.
The special music was furnished
by Dorothy Dahlman with her
trumpet, a solo, Ruth McClure, and
a trio of three Freshman girls,
Ruth Elaine Anderson, Lois Carlson
and Anne Nelson. Miss Effie Nel-son
gave an original poem in be-half
of the faculty to the Bethel
girls. Mrs. Emery Johnson present-ed
a toast speaking for the faculty
wives. Representing the Big Sis-ters,
was Eunice Anderson and
Jane Larson, the Little Sisters.
Mrs. Nels Sjernstrom led the devo-tional
program, reading from the
fourth chapter of Ephesians.
Before the program there was a
short time of getting acquainted,
during which refreshments, petite
sandwiches, cookies, coffee and tea
were served. Mrs. Ernest Nor-strom
and Mrs. A. J. Wingblade
poured coffee and tea.
The meeting closed with the
singing of "Thank You Lord" and
Miss Esther Sable led in prayer
for the future year in the Bethel
Women's Association Activities.
Boarding Club
Friday morning, September 10th.,
the Boy's Boarding Club opened in
the Seminary basement. The stew-ard
in charge of the club this year
is John, known as "Knobby," Ber-geson.
Students believe there
should be nothing lacking in hav-ing
"Knobby" for steward, because
he held the same job several
years ago.
Willis Wessman is Chairman of
the Boarding Club Board. Other
members of the board are Gunnar
Hoglund, Dale Bjork, Richard Slei-ter,
and Harold Carlson, Harold be-ing
elected to take the place of
Irwin Bjelland who is not at Bethel
this yeear. Eunice Anderson and
Mrs. R. Olson are the cooks, with
Elwood Anderson' a n d Maurice
Lundh as the dishwashing crew.
It has been said that most of the
fellows are anxiously awaiting to
see which woman or women will be
the first guests this year.
Inspiring Chapel
Opens Seminary
The Seminary had a very inspir-ing
chapel service on Tuesday for
the opening session of the year.
Dr. K. J. Karlson extended a sin-cere
welcome to the new students
and to the returning old ones say-ing,
"I welcome you to a search for
the Truth, which is revealed in the
Word of God."
Not only was there a hearty wel-come
but Mr. Karlson also said, "I
warn you from the beginning, it is
necessary for you—for all of us,
faculty and students, to apply our-selves
to the task before us."
Several visitors were also pres-ent.
Those included the mission-aries
Mr. and Mrs. John Selander
and Mr. and Mrs. Alec Olson. Pas-tors
there were Rev. J. G. Johnson,
Rev. Martin Ericson, Rev. Byleen,
Rev. Hersgard, and Rev. Edward
Nelson. Each of these men of God
gave a challenge to the Seminary
The students have agreed that
they are looking forward to great
and inspiring times in the Semin-ary
Chapel during the coming year.
Bethel Offers
New Courses
Three new courses which previ-ous
Bethelites have not had the
privilege of taking are Botany,
Mixed Chorus and Class, and Daily
Vacation Bible School.
So far the botanists number 'one-half
dozen.' They believe that qual-ity
makes up for quantity. The
Dean states, "It promises to be one
of the best courses in the college."
Miss Sable has twenty-two stu-dents
in her class of D. V. B. S.
methods. The schedule for the
year consists of studying every de-tail
of D. V. B. S. program so that
those who take it may go directly
into a church and put the program
in operation. Demonstrations and
actual projects will also be part
of the class work.
A new addition to the music pro-gram
under the direction of Prof.
N. Stjernstrom is a class which
meets for an hour every Tuesday
and Thursday. For a year's partici-pation
one college credit is given.
Half of the hour is spent studying
the fundamentals of music, con-ducting,
and a survey of choral mu-sic.
The remainder of the period
the class rehearses as a mixed
chorus. Later in the year the stu-dents
will be given the privilege
of directing the chorus as it prac-tices
hymns, spirituals, and exerpts
from "The Messiah."

To all we extend a most hearty
welcome to Bethel. We welcome
you to our lovely campus, to the
new or renovated buildings, to the
real work that lies before us--but
most of all to the Christian fel-lowship.
Each of us carries an "atmos-phere"
round about him—for weal
or woe, for a help or hindrance to
his associates. But if Christ really
dwells within—then there is sure
to be a radiation of light and spir-itual
power, something positive in-deed.
May this be a year of glorious
fellowship because we shall be one
in Him and because each of us
shall make a distinctly plus contri-bution
to the atmosphere which
pervades in our school.

On June 5 we pressed the starter
button on the '37 V-8 and traveled
north for the greatest summer that
we have ever experienced in our
lives. Our destination was Sandy
Lake where we began our work
teaching Bible School and having
evening services. The classes star-ted
at 9:00 in the morning and
lasted until 3:00 in the afternoon.
It was a great joy to see how in-terested
the children were to hear
the stories about the Bible and its
great main character, the Lord Je-sus
Christ. Our greatest happiness
was experienced when some of the
young boys and girls opened up
their hearts and accepted Christ
as their personal Saviour. The ex-periences,
inspiration, and the les-sons
received while teaching these
young people became a vital part
of us, lifting us upward and draw-ing
us closer to the Great Friend,
the Saviour of the world.
Our evening services were very
well-attended and the Spirit of God
moved about the people, strength-ening
Christians and convicting
men and women of the sin in
their lives.
(Continued on page 4)
Sunday, Sept. 12, was Confer..
ence Day at the First Swedish Bap-tist
Church of Minneapolis. In the
afternoon was held the Young Peo-ple's
meeting. Stanley Paulson,
senior at Bethel Seminary, was the
speaker with the subject, "God's
Call to the Youth."
A Frolic consisting of games,
devotions, and refreshments was
planned for Tuesday, Sept. 14.
The annual Watermelon Feed at
Como Park was held on Wednes-day.
At this time choruses were
lead by Gene Johnson and Harold
Carlson read the Scripture. A tes-timony
meeting followed.
Sept. 16 was the date of the
Freshman Prayer Meeting at the
Central Baptist Church. Its pas-tor,
Rev. Eric Anderson, lead the
meeting. Music was supplied by
Phyllis Anderson, a Bethel fresh-man.
The final and climactic event of
the week, the Freshman Reception,
took place on Friday evening in
the College Chapel. With Dana
Larson, vice-president of the Stu-dent
Council, in charge of the
program, the freshmen were offi-cially
welcomed into the student
Speakers were Dr. H. C. Wing-blade,
president of Bethel Institute,
Robert Dischinger, president of the
Student Council, Dr. K. J. Karlson,
Dean of the Seminary, and Miss
Effie Nelson, Dean of Women, Car-ol
Rexion, representing the Sopho-more
Class, and Robert Nelson, the
Freshman Class.
Following this program the ini-tiation
which consisted of a mock
trial with Lloyd Sprecher as judge
was held in the College gym. Janet
Rye was in charge of refreshments
for the evening.
Campus Visitors
Bethel has seen several visitors
this last week. Among them were
Muriel Bjorklund, Cliff Bjorklund's
sister, from Los Angeles, Eleventh
Street Baptist Church, and Francis
McOlash, a Bethel alumnus from
Wisconsin. Bethel alumni, Lieut.
and Mrs. Ray Peterson also visited
the school recently. Mrs. Peterson
was formerly Louise Joonson.

The Editor Says ..
For Freshmen Only
THROUGH the brisk September morning air a bell clangs
troll the belfry of the little red schoolhouse. And at
its voice a meandering procession of children, laden with
books, newly sharpened pencils, lunch buckets-complete even
to the apple for the teacher, makes its way to the school.
There is the little girl, freshly pinafored with trailing pigtails,
and "the whining school-boy, with his satchel, and shining face,
creeping like snail, unwillingly to school" as Shakespeare de-scribes
This, we have been told, is the traditional way of starting an edu-cation.
Today, in your life, Bethel has taken the • place of the "little red
schoolhouse." You freshmen are walking up to its doors in the foot-steps
of these children of the past. But there is a differen -ce; you are
walking into college, a house of higher learning. Where the world of
childhood was opened to the pigtailed girl and reluctant school-boy,
years of maturity are beginning for you.
Bethel opens her doors and she invites you to enter, but not un-der
fear of the painful hickory stick of the past, for you have come here
not through coercion but through choice.
To you freshmen, Bethel speaks as becoming her rank as a college
and says to you as adults, "Walk freely through my halls. Sit in my
lecture rooms, and with open minds listen earnestly to the wisdom
being taught there. Partake of my spiritual life, too. Come to my
chapel services in reverence and gain inspiration. Throughout your
duties, enjoy and appreciate the companionship of your fellow-students,
Christians like yourselves. These things and countless others I offer
to you."
We Need You!

plaveit pit a q4e4itifian Q1.4.1
HEAR us, we pray thee, our Father, as we remember the girl who,
with thousands of others, has this week left home companions,
dear familiar faces, streets over which since a little child she has
traveled to church, to school, to play, that she may enter her castle
of dreams—college.
When on this night of strangeness and great lonliness the rosy
dream seems gray and the longing to go back, even for a moment,
to all that is dear, sweeps over her soul, comfort her thou Christ,
who vast young and lonely and can understand. Strengthen her
will; help her even in her homesickness to remember the high pur-pose
which has led her to college; keep her ideal unveiled before
her; show her the large place of service and happiness that awaits
her. Even in this moment of weakness let the knowledge that the
only way by which she can comfort herself is to forget herself, send
her out to seek another girl as lonely as she and whisper to her
that tomorrow will be different. Give her the courage to sit down
and write a word of gratitude_and cheer to the father who misses her,
though proud that she has gone, and the mother who wishes her
back, yet would not have her -come.
If when the lights are out and the great hall is still she cannot
keep back the tears, help her to speak to Thee, to ask Thy blessing
upon all whom she loves. Turn her thoughts, we pray Thee, to the
days to come, to the friends to be, the good times in store, the great
things to be lived and learned. Thou who art Creator of a universe
and the heart of a girl, give her sleep and peace. Through Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Amen.
—Margaret Slattery in "A Girl's Book of Prayers"
My Lord
by Lloyd Sprecher
Much of our devotional reading
is taken from the Book of Psalms,
and this meditation, I pray, will be
surrounded by the first and second
verses of Psalm 18.
The Psalms are heart-born ex-pressions,
themselves surrounding
some particular experience of the
writer. Personal, face-to-face ex-periences
carry tremendous weight.
Stephen, when he was stoned,
looked up and saw Jesus. Paul was
alone for three days and three
nights, not being able to see, nei-ther
eating or drinking, yet Jesus
was there. A. B. Simpson gives
us this testimony, "There is not a
moment of the day or night when
I am not conscious of the presence
of another Personality." One's life
is rich only as it is enriched by
the presence of Jesus Christ.
During the past several months,
it has been my privilege to visit at
the bed side of a dear sainted
child of God: who has been con-fined
to her bed for a number of
years. I remember my first visit
with her. She wept at the thought
of someone caring enough for her
to spends some moments with her
in reading of the Word and in
prayer. I had wondered many
times what there was that seemed
to keep this dear one so sweet even
in her condition. One particular
day, after I had spent some time
with her, she reached for her Bible
and said, "Read the 18th Psalm."
I turned to it and read the first
verse "I will love Thee, 0 Lord,
my strength" then the second ver-se.
Before I could begin the third
verse, she stopped me. I can still
see her as she lay in her weakened
condition on her bed. But seem-ing
almost to sit erect, she said,
"That's it! Jesus is here in my
own room, and when days seem
dark, He stands beside me. When
I am very low, He is here holding
my hand! He is MY Lord and
MY God!"
Such confidence in God, utter,
absolute, can only all the more
make us to say, "I will love Thee,
0, Lord, MY Strength. The Lord
is MY Rock, and MY Fortress,
and MY Deliverer; MY God, MY
Strength, in whom I will trust;
MY Buckler, and the horn of MY
salvation, and MY High Tower!"

9-15-43—Rev. J. G. Johnson
"It is up to young people of to-day
to lift up Jesus Christ before
men and women, that they might
see Him in the true light.
"Two reasons for the boldness of
Peter and John:
1. They were genuinely saved;
they knew what they had. (When
it comes to spiritual things, know
where you stand.)
2. They won souls who in turn
were witnesses to them and an in-spiration
to them."
9-16-43—Eric Olson
It is a supreme appointment to
be asked to go where others do not
have the privilege to go.
As a date palm standing by it-self
cannot bear fruit, neither can
we, without Christ.
The natives of Nigeria have said
to their missionaries, "If the mes-sage
you have to give us is so
wonderful, why didn't you come be-fore?"
and Paul says, "The love of
Christ constraineth us to go."

Indian Clubs
To say the least, there are a
great many types of Indian Clubs.
I once heard of some Indians who
had a 4-H club. This, however, is
not the type I am speaking of.
Some boy called Gandi also has
some sort of an Indian Club, but I
do not believe this is the type eith-er.
To define an Indian Club, I will,
liken it to a Soph. I have often
heard it called a dumbell. It has a
small knot head, which also ap-pears
in the human race. The
length of its neck is due to the
fact that the head is so far from
the body.
The Indian club has a long line
of relatives. The baseball bat is
just a large Indian Club on a diet
or worrying. The bowling pin was
never on a diet, or else it followed
it the way women do.
The - Indian Club is used chiefly
for exercise. A good exercise is
this: leap out of bed, seize the
dub, break the alarm clock, and
leap back into bed. I have followed
this policy for years and I pose for
muscle ads.
Well, this is a rather complete
story on Indian Clubs so I will end
and go get my club. Thus when
you read this article I will be all
set for my admirers.
Did you sleep late every morn-ing
during your summer vacation?
If you did, you are very different
from our Bethel teachers. At least
I don't think they slept late be-cause
they all seem to have been
working hard. They still must be
working hard for when I tried to
interview them for this story, they
could only pause for a few min-utes
to talk to me. But what did
some of our Bethel teachers do
during the three months of va-cation?
Last Spring Miss Johnson said
she wanted to teach a daily vaca-tion
Bible school. Her wish was
granted. She spent four weeks in
that work this summer, teaching
for two weeks in her home church
in Minneapolis and two weeks in
Chicago. Canning corn and other
vegetables occupied much of the
rest of her time.
Miss Sabel has been living in
Chicago during the summer. She
has been doing her housework, but
most important of all she has been
holding boys' and girls' classes at
Bethany Beach. We that have had
her teach classes in our summer
assemblies know that the boys and
girls must have enjoyed her.
From Miss Platts comes a state-ment
heard often lately. "It seems
as if all I have been doing is mov-ing,
but I guess it's not quite true
to say that it was that bad." (The
girls in the dormitory must also
know by now that a housing short-age
really does exist.) The office
of the Minnesota Hospital Associa-tion
has been her place of employ-
Time rolls its ceaseless course,
and here in its march we have
arrived at ah yes, 'tis Bethel!
'Twas quite a few years ago when
my big sis had spent her first glor-ious
year at Bethel, and we_ had
received one of those explanatory
epistles, that I vowed, as I thought
woefully of the years and years
ahead that I'd reach Bethel or
Yes, you bet, I'm mighty alive
and here I am. Though those
years passed endlessly slowly, it
was worth the wait—Bethel is won-derful!
Needless to say, I screamed with
delight when ushered into that
beautiful little 'dorm room ; but I
will admit I was a bit embarrassed
the next morning when Mrs. Nyloff
had asked us girls to kindly pull
the shade when unveiling at night
as the neighbors had found reason
to complain.
Yes, dorm life is most exciting!
Girls are really all alike with their,
"Have you seen that tall blond, and
he's one of these Freshmen too!"
or, "Kiddo, he's got dark eyes and
wavy hair!" Those nightly gab
fests, though a bit fatiguing, are
very interesting and revealing.
Speaking of health—here, my
roommate and I had heavenly hop-es
of losing this luggage for sure
this winter—but we're finding our
hopes are waning. How can we not
eat with grand food—"Chicken a
la King," creamed peas, spanish
rice—especially when topped off
with chocolate pudding—Ah me,
but we liked eating any how!
Few, but oh my how these sophs,
get around! And they're so inform-ative.
Just what we froshes need.
"Yes, he's a swell guy, take "Zo"
from him." Course some of their
"freshie, make my bed this morn-ing"
are a bit exasperating, but we
still appreciate their superiority.
Did I hear you say you were
thrilled too? Yes, the dorm, col-lege
building; fellowship, every-ment.
Miss Platts, like Miss John-son,
has also been canning during
the summer.
Miss Nelson has been writing po-etry.
She says that when she is
called upon to speak at a banquet,
she likes to give her message in
the form of a poem. Besides verse-making
she has been renewing old
acquaintances she hasn't seen for a
long time.
PrcAfessor Nels Stjernstrom, one
teacher that we seldom hear from
except when he is singing, has
been teaching music. His vacation
was spent in fishing at Green
Lake here in Minnesota for eight
or ten days.
Quite a bit of everything is what
our social science teacher has been
doing. Professor C. E. Carlson says
he has been preaching, fishing, and
doing research work. There was
one thing he didn't get enough of.
"There never was enough loafing!"
The last bell had rung for break-fast
five minutes before I managed
to crawl out of bed and fall down
the stairs. As I opened the door
the morning of September 9 I knew
something had happened. There—
before my eyes were girls, fully
dressed, eating breakfast! I paused
a minute to pick up a curler that
fell from my head and saw three
lone housecoated girls. They must
be sophomores so I headed for
their table. Sure enough the fresh-men
had descended.
On the way up from breakfast I
glanced toward the college building
and sidewalks. I thought how un-fortunate
the freshmen were—they
would never have the chance to
wade across the mud puddle to
classes. Along about noon I knew
the dorm was coming back to life
as I smelled something burning
from the way of the kitchen.
All morning various heads pop-ped
out of rooms only to be quickly
drawn back. In the evening the
phone began to ring. The Sopho-more
Slump had begun.
The freshmen began to make use
of the sign out book. Rumor has
it that the housemother waited un-til
twelve one night for a freshman
who was peacefully sleeping.
The campus has been invaded—

thing, as wonderful as it is, could
not quite compare with the inspi-ration
and thrill I received at the
first chapel service when the Be-thel
student body broke into the
lusty singing of "I Will Sing The
Wondrous Story." That was worth
the years' wait in itself!
That black cloud, Sophomore
Slump, has settled upon returning
feminine Bethelites. With all the
bright, gay, young Freshman it
looks darker than ever for the
sophomores. Our only consolation
is the few unattached men left at
Bethel. Oh, well, we came back to
study, this year, anyway.

The sports program of Bethel
College will not be discontinued
this year. According to a con-ference
with Dean Johnson, our
new athletic director should ar-rive
within a few days. However,
the schedule of athletic activities
has not as yet been received.
A partial schedule has just been
released for publication. The wo-men's
division will in all proba-bility
be the same as last year.
Basketball is available for all wo-men
who have done excellent work
in classes.
Volley ball will be available to
both young men and women. As
last year in the spring the tennis
courts will be ready for college use.
All men will be required to take
physical education. According to
most recent reports there will be
only one gym class. This will in
•all probability constitute the var-sity
team after a certain amount
of super athletes are weeded out.
Track, volley ball, intra mural
football, ping pong, hand ball, and
other such fall and winter sports
will be available to the energetic
man. (As a side comment your re-porter
wishes to add if the ath-lete
feels the need for more exer-cise,
the women in the Women's
Dorm will give him a good chase
if he makes himself available).
What's New?
Never before has the campus of
Bethel been so profuse with flow-ers
and beauty as it has been this
summer and fall. Eric has worked
hard to make it so and even the
son follows in his father's foot-steps,
for he has been cutting the
grass of our campus; that is no
small piece of work, either.
What a thrill it was to come into
the college chapel and find the old
dilapidated organ removed from
the righthand corner of the plat-form!
How cheerful the chapel
looks now with the lovely flags,
presented by the graduating class
of last year; and also the plants
in either corner on the platform!
Does a few coats of paint make a
difference? Look into the chapels
of both Seminary and College and
you'll . see! Every room in the
entire school has been cleaned,

"For those at Bethel who want
work, there is plenty of it," says
the College office. Some of the a-vailable
opportunities are as fol-lows:
1. Openings for men interested
in Christian work with boys.
2. Janitor work in a church.
3. Employment in business hous-es
in the Midway district.
4. Work in restaurants for both
men and women.
5. Part time work cleaning rugs
and similar jobs for men.
6. Several men wanted to live in
a mortuary and answer the phone,
receiving their room and remuner-ation.
7. Meat cuttter to work in a
butcher shop.
8. Girls wanted to work by the
hour in homes.

Inception a dynamic, moving mind-bender
Christopher Nolan's Inception is the movie I've been waiting for. Whip-smart, exciting and ultimately poignant, like any good science fiction film it brims with ideas and possibilities. Taking us on a thrilling ride of the imagination, it uses its elaborate plot and visual effects to challenge and thrill us rather than bludgeon us into submission. It's an entertainment of the mind that leaves us reeling, curious and, most importantly, thrilled by the challenges it presents.
Dom (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a dream thief who uses a groundbreaking technique to break into people's imaginations. Plunging into their minds while they sleep, he's able to steal their ideas in the name of corporate espionage. However, his newest client, Saito (Ken Watanabe) has a challenge for him. He wants Dom to plant an idea in his rival Robert Fisher's (Cillian Murphy) mind. While his partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) claims this to be impossible, Dom assembles a crack team, including new dream builder Ariadne (Ellen Page) and accepts the case. What his associates don't realize is Saito has promised to help Dom return to the United States to his children as he's been on the run since being accused of killing his wife Mal (Marion Cotillard).
The film's first 45 minutes is a fascinating explanation of how the dreamscape works. Nolan has gone all out in setting up layers and timelines in this world. Subjects can have dreams within dreams and dreams within dreams within dreams, which create all sorts of pitfalls for Dom and his fellow mind thieves. One of the film's most compelling factors is that once Nolan sets up the movie's premise, he undercuts it by shifting the rules on us. Dom finds that his physiological demons are able to invade the mind of those he's trespassing on and when it's discovered that Fisher has been trained to combat this sort of attack, all bets are off.
What elevates this above other summer fodder is the film's emotional pull. Mal invades Dom's dreams and taunts him by asking him to join her. Whether she means in death or a dream of her own is one of the movie's mysteries, as the plot is filled with twists and turns that keep us guessing along with the characters. Sure, there's a great deal of manipulation at play, but it's never done gratuitously or for cheap effect. We're in the hands of a master storyteller in Nolan. His intriguing approach to filmmaking is not only thrilling but intriguing enough to leave us wanting more.

London is a top museum destination with some 250 museums within the city limits. Of course everybody knows the Tate Modern, the Victoria Albert Museum and the National Gallery. However, in addition to these prestigious institutions, there are also many house museums offering a charming tribute to the celebrities who once lived here.
Just about every British and foreign hero who has lived for even a short time in London is commemorated with a house museum. The Freud Museum displays the famous couch of the father of psychoanalysis, the Handel Museum houses the composer's piano, and the Dickens House offers a glimpse behind the scenes of this Victorian writer. Lesser known celebrities include Edward Linley Sambourne, Scientology leader L. Ron Hubbard and artist Dennis Severs, and their house museums are just as fascinating.
From 1875 onwards, Edward Linley Sambourne, the cartoonist of the legendary satirical magazine 'Punch', lived at 18 Stafford Terrace. The generations who lived in the house afterwards preserved almost all of the entire decor; even the personal property of Linley Sambourne and his family remained exactly in place, including drawings, letters and diaries. The house in Kensington is now a precious time capsule, offering a fascinating glimpse into the life of a middle-class family in Victorian times.
Linley Sambourne House, 18 Stafford Terrace, Kensington, London,www.rbkc.gov.uk/linleysambournehouse
This 1791 Georgian House in the literary district of Fitzrovia was once the home of playwright and Nobel Laureate George Bernard Shaw and his mother. But that's not what attracts today's visitors to the house museum. L. Ron Hubbard resided here in the 1950s and transformed the house into the global headquarters of the Church of Scientology. As a tribute to the founder of the controversial movement, Fitzroy House was fully restored to the way it was then. Visitation is free and by appointment only.
Until his death in 1999, artist Dennis Severs spent 3 years working his magnum opus. He transformed his own house into a 3D historical painting. The 10 rooms have been decorated in different styles from the 18th to 20th century. Visit for example the elegant parlour of a Huguenot family or the ghastly attic of Scrooge, the old miser from Dickens' book 'A Christmas Carol'. It seems as if the residents have just walked out: the fire is still burning and there are half empty wine glasses on the table.

If the code stinks, it's not an excuse. Good MPI > implementations are good with poorly written applications, but still let > smart people do smart things if they want. This is exactly my point made in my previous posting - you cannot design a system that is optimal in a single mode for all cases of its use when there are multiple parameters defining the usage and performance evaluation spaces. And this is the reason why we provide both {polling synchronization/polling progress} and {interrupt-driven synchronization/independent progress} MPI modes (we have published papers defining a space based on MPI design choices). With these modes we can at least increase the chance that the user can get a better match to his scenario. >> - What application algorithm developers experience when they attempt to >> use the ever so nebulous "overlapping" with a polling MPI library and > > Overlaping is completely orthogonal with polling.

You can perfectly overlap and check for completion of > the asynchronous requests by polling, nothing wrong with that. Well, I would probably have to say that I don't agree with this. First, I think it is fairly easy to show that overlapping and polling (or any kind of communication completion synchronization) are not orthogonal. If this was the case, you would see codes that show perfect overlapping running on any MPI implementation/network pair. I am sure there is plenty of evidence this is not the case. There is an important point here that needs to be clarified: when I say "polling" library, I assume that this library does both: polling completion synchronization and polling progress. There is not much room to define here these but I am sure MPI developers know what they are. If polling and overlapping were orthogonal, the following would have had to be true: 1. You have a perfect network engine that takes no resources that might be used by computation when you either push bytes out or poll for completion 2. Once you start a request (e.g., MPI_Isend), the execution of this communication request takes no CPU. 3. You can have a very cheap, bound in duration polling operation from which you return immediately after it checks for your particular communication request 4. You have something else to do when the polling completion returns that your request is not done I would argue that none of these are true in practical scenarios, even including very smart polling schemes or networks with DMA engines, like Myrinet. Here I don't even bring the cases with multithreaded applications. These are still a fairly small minority. > >> how this experience has contributed to the overwhelming use of >> MPI_Send/MPI_Recv even for codes that can benefit from non-blocking or >> (even better) persistent MPI calls, thus killing any hope that these >> codes can run faster on systems that actually facilitate overlapping. > > There is 2 reasons why developers use blocking operations rather than > non-blocking one: > 1) they don't know about non-blocking operations. > 2) MPI_Send is shorter than MPI_Isend().

Not quite. Most of the time the message-passing segment of the code you optimize for overlapping is in the innermost loop of the algorithm - the one that is most overhead sensitive and usually most optimized. You will not see common cases where you can "pull" MPI_Send much earlier or push MPI_Wait much later than where MPI_Send is. So what you usually end up doing is introducing another loop inside the innermost one, breaking up the MPI_Send message in a number of segments and pipelining them with MPI_Isend (or even better MPI_Start) by initiating segment I+1 while computing with segment I, thus attempting to overlap computation in stage I with communication in stage I+1. Then, there is the question how many segments you use to break up the message for maximum speedup. The pipelining theory says the more you can get the better, when they are with equal duration, there aren't inter-stage dependencies, and the stage setup time is low in proportion to the stage execution time. Also, the size of the segments should be such that the transmission time (not the whole latency) of the segment is as close as possible to the computation performed on the segment. I can continue with other factors that one need to take into account in order to write a good algorithm with overlapping. The metric I mentioned earlier "degree of overlapping" with some additional analysis can help designers _predict_ whether the design is good or not and whether it will work well or not on a particular system of interest (including the MPI library). This is however too much detail for this forum though, as most of the postings here discuss much more practical issues :) Rossen

The first chart shows the five highest-rated red zone quarterbacks from Week 4 through Week 9, measured by Total QBR. Wilson trails only Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. Peyton Manning is fifth. All five have scores in the 90s (100 is maximum). The rest of the league is at 37.3.
That is goood company. It is so great to have red zone struggles resolved (even if only temporarily).
Let's all just be glad he's not in the company of the QB's in the second chart (Sanchez only ranks second to worst to John Skelton in the red zone).
