Greely battles
leukemia; plans
return to ,classes
by Kathleen Asselin
"I had some pretty rough goes this
time," said Paul Greely last week after
being released from treatment for leukemia
at Midway Hospital.
"A few touch and go moments, but
the new experimental drug did its thing.
After a very nauseating three days of
treatment, I had a nearly complete remission,"
he explained.
Paul, who has battled with leukemia
for over a year, explained his case.
"I produce bad leucocytes, or white blood
cells, which don't allow my bone marrow
to produce red cells," he said. "The
result is severe anemia to the point
that I can hardly function."
A painful bone marrow test at the
beginning of Interim revealed Paul's
white blood cell count at a low 1400
(a normal status being 5500). Having
"no ability to protect against infection,"
he was admitted to Midway. After treatments,
followed by a week's rest at
home, PaUl found his red cell count
had dwindled, he raged with a 103 degree
fever, and intestinal infection had
set in.
"My blood was so thin it literally
leaked out of my vei,ns," said Paul.
With the cross-matching of blood and
:platelets, his body reacted with what
Paul called "the ultra chills plus burning
fever that peaked over 105 degrees."
"I had an IV needle in each arm
and was slotted for Intensive Care when
they decided to use a thermal cooling
blanket," he said.
The rubber piece that Paul laid on
circulated water at 100 degrees about
his body and slowly brought his temperature
down. Otherwise, he was "fighting
it off with antibiotics night and dayt"
"I bounced back last week," reported
Paul. His white cell count climbed to
CIARlO St. Paul. Minnesota February 13. 1976
1500, although he estimated it at three
or four thousand at the time of interview.
"I feel weak," he said. "I couldn't
get · on the paddleball court and take
anybody on, but I'm feeling pretty hunkydory."
Paul commented on his isolation status
which was announced in Chapel last
week. Confusion arose among Bethel students
because he was seen in the bookstore
that same afternoon.
"It was a protective measure to tell
people to be concerned, but not to visit
me and risk my ' chances of infection.
"Technically speaking," he continued,
"it was not good for me to be at school,
but the doctors had released me due
to my improved condition."
Last Monday, Paul returned to the
hospital for another bone marrow test
to determine "how well the drugs killed
it off." With these three days of extensive
treatment, Paul expects to lose
the rest of his hair.
Before he entered the hospital, Paul
spoke optimistically of returning to
school in a week or two to pick up
his full load of classes. (Sound ambitious?
Actually, PaUl dropped his fifth
course in ceramics.)
"The floor at Midway is 'old home'
to me," said Paul, "but sitting around
a hospital is not my cup of tea. I'd
rather be doing something."
The Standard article about him was
a strong Christian witness, according
to Paul. "My parents left some copies
and all the nurses read it, so they
know where I stand," he said. "They
see that I rely an awful lot on God
for my breathing today!"
Greely's attitude toward the future?
"I take it in stride," he said confidently.
"Things will work out, but I don't take
life for granted," Paul said. "I wouldn't
trade Bethel for 'any other place
in the world right now. I owe the st~dents
more than I can pay back. I
can't express in words the feelings I
have ... just that I love them."
"Let them know God brought me back
to the health I have," Paul added. "I'll
be back to Bethel soon."
Yeorb'oo,k future debo,ted
'In recent y~ars the Bethel Spire has had a less than
glorious history. Disasters I have been attracted to the Spire
like freshmen to water fights. Late yearbooks, books with
typographical and copy problems, editor resignations, staff
squabbles, and rampant gimmickry have plagued the Spire
during the past few years. In addition to this, skyrocketing
production costs have produced added pressures for all
involved with the Spire.
But perhaps the biggest headache that faces the Spire today
is student apathy. We do not wish to argue the cause/effect
questions in relation to this; the point is that apathy
now stands as the greatest obstacle to yearbook success.
In short, the student body has proven to be generally unconcerned
in terms of committed support for the Spire. This
has been demonstrated in several ways. For instance, senior
pictures and sUbscription fees are rarely turned in on
time. Also, it is a monumental task each year for the Student
Senate (especially the Communications Board) to find
a qualified person willing to ed.it the Spire, much less finding
an adequate staff. On the whole, students seem to
want, for a variety of reasons, a book without desiring to
give even a partial degree of commitment.
Whether a yearbook per se is valuable for an academic
institution we will not say. We can only analyze the problems
and apathy surrounding the Bethel Spire, and draw conclusions
from this. Thus it should be obvious that it is time
for serious critical analysis concerning the Spire. For once,
the Communications Board should question the validity of proposing
the yearbook year after year after year. For once,
the Student Senate' should consider not rubber stamping yet
another Spite budget proposal. For once, that mass of silence,
the student body, should quit expecting to have a commitment-
free yearbook handed to them every year, and either
support the Spire or forget it. Let's not wait until next
year to make these important decisions; the time is now.

Sem-ite IIrelatesll reality olf reformation
Dear Editor:
Two months have lapsed since the appearance of your
equitably sincere treatise on lifestyle expectations at Bethel
Seminary. I mean, it was er - - uh, right-on! Like you really
told it like it was. While we understand that the article
was written to prepare young collegians aspiring to become
a part of our sem community, it served as a summons
to self-evaluation on our own part.
The veracity of your analysis was empirically proven by
its pragmatic impact upon our seminary community. As
Bonhoeffer would say, "I am continually amazed by the
ability of our weaker brothers within the eschatalogical community
of this dispensation to point out our blind spots."
Allow me to briefly chronicle the reformation which is
occurring "over the hill."
One of the immediate effects was the hum of sewing
machines throughout sem village the evening of that glorious
day as students everywhere converted their pants to high
water height. Another immediately noticeable phenomenon
was the mix-and-clash contagion, best exemplified by President
Lundquist who arrived the following Monday morning
in a pinstripe shirt with paisley pants and a checked tie.
Taste was despised almost as severely as Rudolph Bultmann's

as ours, there still remain those who would assert that
they have uniqueness as individuals apart from the corporality
of our existence. Imagine, there' are actually those who
would propagate the myth that we have what they term
,"certain inalienable rights." Some have gone so far
as to burn , their Greek flash cards in protest. And the
real radicals have even reverted to stopping at the stop
sign, much to the chagrin and embarrassment of us reformers.
We sincerely hope that you who have seen the beam
in our eye will realize that these reactionaries do not
typify the 'seminary comm~ity. It is our utmost desire
that this open atmosphere of constructive criticism will
continue to exist between the College and the Seminary. '
But you, our college brethren, must realize that this
reformation cannot be a one-way street. I think that the kind
of sacrifice demanded is that best demonstrated by my own
brother who, having realized the error of his ways, shaved'
off his sem-beard in an admirable act of affirmation and
activation of the principles involved. We must strive together
to brin~ about the betterment of the Bethel community.
Gratefully yours,
Ronald Troxel
Third-year Sem Student.
1M Supervisor, appalled at objectivity
Dear Sir:
In last week's Clarion, you and one of your more ob- :
noxious and untalented writers, Mark Troxel, blasted the
Intramural program at Bethel. The two of you made personal,
slanted · remarks regarding the temperament of IM
athletes. You ripped the quality and dedication of IM officials
by, in no less words, inferring them to be unqualified
amateurs. And above all, you had the gall to criticize
and make tun of ~M scheduling and its supervisor. An
outrage! When did the Clarion start reporting the real
truth, the way it really is?

BETHEL COLLEGE GYM - Mon. Mar 1st
Tickets available from Campus C~ordi~ator
Broken Arcs
by Bill Trollinger
One (good?) reason has kept me from writing any
columns this year dealing with "Christian thoughts." Intimidation.
Yes, intimidation. For instance, with so many MKs,
PKs, DKs, and CCKs ("Constantly in Church" kids) here
at Bethel, it is hard not to be intimidated, knOwing that
it is impossible to say anything that "Pastor Joe" or "Reverend
Peterson" or fifth grade Sunday School teacher "Mrs.
Harris" has not said (and sa!d and said). Also, because
Bethel is blessed with such~n outstanding and reputable
Biblical Studies ana. Theology Department, the fear of being
snickered at for my lack of knowledge concerning Greek
or ignored for my being a History/Literature major is
.very real. .
But, whether these are legitimate f~ars or not, I cannot
write for an entire year without referring to my faith, especially
when it concerns such an essential part of Christianity
- prayer. This communion of man with God is a
fundamental element of the Christian's life, an element that
must pervade all sectors of the believer's life. "Pray without
ceasing" is not a homily to be passively ignored; rather,
it is a state of normalcy for the growing ~hristian.
-U~fortunately, prayer tends to become a, repetition of personal
petition. In my own life I have noticed a monotonous
tendency to introspectively pray, seeing only my
over-magnified, over-erpphasized problems. "God, I need
this," or "God, I need that," or "God help me." Gimme
gimme gimme. Whether we realize' this or not, this is
our "old self," rearing its ugly head even while we commune
with God.
Now it must be emphasize<J that personal petition is an
important part of prayer. But a pervasive egocentric emphasis
greatly detracts from, and even destroys, other important
aspects of 'prayer. One of these vital elements is
intercessory' prayer.
W.W. Stevens defines a prayer of intercession as "the
highest type of prayer ... (being) one in which we forget
ourselves and plead the cause of others." It is the bearing
of the burdens of other people, the holding up of another
individual's needs before God in prayer. Jesus in the Garden
of Gethse~ane, pleading the cause of the disciples and
non-disciples before His Father (John 17), is the most beautiful
example of intercessory prayer.
That this intercessory prayer, or "substituted love" as
Charles Williams would call it, is needed should be ovvious.
The needs of the world and of ' individuals cannot
be ignored. The burdens of the homeless thousands in
Guatemala, the grieving parents in Louisville, the tense
student in Arden Hills all offer testimony to the desperate
calling for men and women to enter the holy communion
of prayer bearing the burdens of others. '
One more point. The pragmatic and therapeutic effect
of intercessory prayer should not be underestimated. Ask
Paul Greely.

Lake Valentine for th~ Polar Bear swim and the crosscountry
ski enthusiasts should sign up at the .Campus Coordinator's
As Mort said, "Sno Daze can be as much fun as
the people who come. Involvement is essential in this type
of campus activity to make it work."
"Creative Christian communicator" reviewed
by Diana Gonzalez
As Joseph Bayly spoke in chapel last week, he offered
to our academic community the challenge of striving to be as
simple and creative a communicator as Jesus was. This
idea of "Creative Christian Communication" was carried
through the rest of the week in Bayly's chapel talks and in
most of his scheduled meetings.
In his chapel speech, "Creativity and the Arts," Bayly
had some hard 'comments to make on not only Christian
artists but on all Christians in general. He said that one
of the reasons why great Christian artists are not to be
found today is because we are afraid to show what we are
really like to the secular' world: In Christian writing, Christian
characters often come off as one-sided, faultless, depthless
people. Bayly urged us to p:J;:ay the prayer, "God make
me a creative person," emphasizing that we can be creative

in our own realm of knowledge, whether it .be chemistry,
.painting or economics.
I did not feel that Bayly's speech on Friday, "Communicating
through Relationships," was quite as effective as the
two preceding chapels. Perhaps we are too used to hearing
about relationships, about our need for acceptance, about urban
depersonalization. I felt he could have approached the
subject from a different angle. But he did propose a worthwhile
challenge to each one of us - the challenge to "rejoice
in being exactly what I am."
Having recently read his book, The View From a Hearse,
I heard some of the incidents which Bayly had used in this
book retold in his speeches to illustrate a point. They lost
some effectiveness the second time around.
But overall, Bayly impressed me as an adept communicator
as well as a versatile one. In one of his talks
outside of chapel, he remarked that he strives not to be
stereotyped as a kind of writer. In his writing he haS
accomplished this, moving from satire (The Gospel Blimp)
to serious writing (The View From a HearSle) to poetry
(IPsalmS of IMy Life) to short stories and parables (How
Silently, How Silently). He now, plans to write a novel for
the secular publishing market. Whatever its plot may be, we
can be sure it will portray Christians "as they really are,"
men and women with basic human needs.
As I listened to Bayly on two of his scheduled meetings
with classes on Thursday, he appeared to be a bit
worn-down. Perhaps next time we have a Staley Scholar
here at Bethel, it would be wise to give him a lesstiring
schedule. Four straight hours of communicating
is bound to strain even the most effective of communicators.
Student recounts Israel Interim tour experiences
by Bruce R. dohne
The land of our loving Lord Jesus captured the hearts
of twenty-one Bethel students this Interim.
In His beautiful way God used special means to put
each student on the Europe-bound charter flight which left
Minneapolis on December 29. The group arrived in London
very tired after a ten-hour flight. However, jet-lag did not
keep most from exploring the city. From London we had a
stormy crossing of the English Channel, during which time
many would-be sailors were hanging over the rail. A train
across northern France brought us into Paris for New Year's
Eve. The typical coldness of the Parisians toward Americans
did not spoil the festivities for the students. Next it was
on to Athens for a one night stop-over before flying to
Tel Aviv.
We stepped onto the soil of the promised land thanking
the Lord for a safe journey and for the clear, sunshiny, 70
degree weather. From there it was a short drive "home."
We were settled comfortably (well, some might not think
so) into our rooms at the American Institute, which is
perched on the edge of Mt. Zion itself. From then on the
land was ours.
While our stay was packed with exciting and romantic
places, dripping with history and special Biblical significance,
there were certain spots that the group agreed were a little
better than the rest.
One such spot was the oasis of Ein Gedi in the desert
Wilderness of Judah, where Jesus .probably quenched his
thirst during his forty-day fast. Here a series of three
waterfalls, each with its own emerald pool, surrounded by
thick tropical vegetation, brings the sparkling spring water
splashing down to the Dead Sea. The group showered· under

the falls and played on a natural rock slide, many happily
calling the spot "paradise on earth." ,
Another favorite was the Sea of Galilee, where we spent
a night at a youth hostel. Standing on the shore of the
lake surrounded by tropical fruit trees . and a prism of
brightly colored flowers, we watched the sun pour through a
hole in the heaps of clouds, creating a captivating mist ovell
the clear, glassy waters of the sea. We felt a deep appreciation
of the "specialness" of the land where God chose to send
His Son.
Best known to all of us was our "home" - Jerusalem.
The magic of the Old City with its hundred!) of tiny hole-:
in-the-wall shops; dark, dirty streets; myriads of exotic
smells and sounds; and countless kinds of people, all beautiful
in their varying d,egrees of ugliness and deformity,
was totally enchanting.
The dark, leering Arab shopkeepers, all with "a brother
in America," were almost scary at first. However, as time
passed the group lear~ed to .,talk to them, haggle over
prices, match wits, and eventually call some of them "friend."
The spiritual significance of the trip varied from person
to person. Some felt especially close to the Lord as they
walked on roads He must have walked. Others felt they could
feel His presence just as well in their dorm rooms at
Bethel. Whatever the case, everyone got more of a
feeling for what life was -actually like for Christ. A great
many people in Israel still live and work . as they did
2000 years ago.
The group as a whole wa:s drawn closer ,together by
several beautiful worship times in such places as the caves
where early Christians hid from persecution and on the sand
beach where once stood the graceful marble city of Caesarea
on the Mediterranean. By the end of the trip there
was a strong love and sense of oneness binding the group.
The land of Palestine itself is an exciting and diverse
country. It is a small piece of real estate that the great
world powers have fought over for four or five thousand
years. Although one can drive across it in a few hours, and
from top to bottom in a half a day, the land offers almost
every type of climate and geography imaginable. The traveler
may enjoy the hot, dry sun of the Jordan valley or the
Sinai, or he may go north to the snowy slopes ' of Mt.
Herman. He may choose from the , gentle rolling hills beneath
the rocky Central Range, the fertile valleys in Galilee,
or the California-type Mediterranean coast.
The way the Israelis ha ve transformed the dry, unproductive
land into a rich green garden is amazing. These
brave and industrious people have had to fight both man
and nature in order to establish a home where they could
be free from the persecution of the last two thousand
years. The whole country is constantly alert to the impending
danger of the surrounding Arab countries. The ~sraeli army
is out in force on the highways and in the streets of
every town and village. But they give a sense of security
and calm rather than alarm. Israel wants life for her people
to go on as usual.
After three weeks in that land of lands, promised since
antiquity to the chosen people of God, another group of His
special ones prepared to say a sad goodbye to the country
they had learned to love. All of us were changed in one
way Or another. While some looked forward to coming home,
many blinked back tears upon leaving Jerusalem, and silently
promised her, "I'll ,be back."

Track team begins indoor season
by Larry Caldwell
"The worst is over now .. hopefully,'"
commented a cautiously optimistic member
of Bethel's 1976 track team about
the Minnesota winter weather. Nonchalantly
battling the sub-zero temperatures
and wind chill last week, the 25 team
members officially started practicing for
their four month long indoor and outdoor
season. Eight indoor meets are scheduled
before spring break with eight outdoor
meets following afterwards.
Coach Gene Glader is "generally encouraged"
by his young team (only two
are seniors) . He commented on this
year's squad: "We are getting a better
start than last year. We are stronger
in all the middle-distance running events
and this will help make up for the
big loss of Steve Whittaker, the only
one who graduated from last year's
squad. And in the other events we appear
to have a little more depth than · last
year too." .
Glader hopes for a repeat second place
finish again this year in the Tri-State
Conference. "Powerful Westmar will again
be favored for ' the number one
spot and we should definitely be the
number two favorite." He continued by
. saying that the first place trophy is
ou~ of reach unless the team gets more
men out for the field events, especially
in the shot put, discus, and long jump,
where there are currently no participants.
"Anybody who wants to come
out and work out with the team is
invited," Glader emphasized.
If prospects for the other field events
look bleak, hopefully they will be made
up for somewhat by the pole vault,
which "is stronger than it has ever
been before," according to Coach Glader's
memory. Led by team captain Bruce

Devotional Guide
Throughout the Scriptures, God has
given record of the calls of many of
his servants. As we study the calls of
these men, we see that God commanded
the chosen men to "go" and "speak"
within the power of the Almighty. God
had touched the lives of these men even
before their birth and had commissioned
them to His work. If we as Christians
would hear God's call and follow as
these men of old, perhaps our evangelism
would be more effective.

Hard work pays
off for frosh star
by Jim Morud
"I never thought that I'd ever be
wanted by a college for wrestling or
anything else," said Bethel's 150-pound
wrestling sensation,Mike Reeves. "But
if it wasn't for wrestling, I wouldn't
have been able to come to Bethel."
Mike Reeves used to think he was
a loser until his senior year at Fridley
High School, the Minnesota state
wrestling champions. In spite of his undying
determination to make the" A" squad
at Fridley, Mike just couldn't make it
to the top. Finally, in his senior year,
his efforts paid off as he accumulated
a 29-6-2 re00rd and qualified for the
state championship meet.
As a freshman at Bethel, Mike has
a 13-5 record this season, leading the
team in falls with a total of five.
For a wrestler, Mike's physical appearance
is somewhat misleading. But on
the wrestling mat , Mike's limber, wiry
frame is fueled by a heart that pumps
determination throughout his tireless anatomy.
His slender upper body is supported
by two spring-like legs.
"I know that when I go out there
to wrestle I'm probably weaker, physically,
than my opponent," Mike admitted,
"but I think that the Lord has given
me a natural endUrance so that I can
keep moving and tire my opponent out."
Mike has found himself trailing his
opponent in points during the first period
of a match on several occasions. But
if he doesn't stick his opponent to the
mat before the end of the match, he
has an uncanny knack for outscoring
his opponent in the final two periods
by wearing his foe to a frazzle.
"He's the hardest worker on the
team," said senior Dave Lindenberg.
"There's just nobody who can keep up
with him."
"Mike's the most complete wrestler
on the squad," added Coach Klostreich.
"He might not have the brute strength
tha t a lot of wrestlers have, but he
has balance, desire, and guts. He knows
how to think wrestling."
For Mike Reeves, the discipline and
the confidence have come hard and slow.
"My dad raised me to never give
up," said Mike. "He was strict at times,
but he taught me discipline and how
to appreciate what I've got. He has
always emphasized how important it is
to keep the family together through tough
times, and I know it's because he's
trying to make us realize what life is
about here on earth - that there are
times when you can't rely on anybody
but yourself. That's why I like wrestling
because you're out there all by yourself.
I can see how wrestling has brought
me closer to the Lord because it can
be such a humbling sport. It has brought
me closer to my brother, too."
Mike's brother, Bill, a senior wrestling
standout at Fridley, has signed a letter
of intent:to Bethel for next year.
A business major, Mike enjoys the
outdoors more than the books or the
city life. He is an adept landscape designer
and woodworker. And his favorite
sport? Football.

Royals drop two;
Ya,nkton tonight,
Braves Saturday
by Daniel Swanson
Halfway through the Tri-State Conference
season, not one team had lost
a game at home. This past weekend
the Royals changed all that by dropping
two games here at home.
In the first game on Friday night,
Bethel took on the Northwestern Red
Raiders. The Royals played a good first
half to trail only by one point at halftime,
35-34. In the second half, the game
remained close until the final few minutes.
Plagued by the same problem all
year, the Royals faded in the crucial
final minutes of ,the game to lose 75-60.
Curt Oslin led Bethel with 22 points.
Paul Healy assisted with 10 points and
12 rebounds.
On Saturday afternoon, Bethel hosted
Westmar. Playing an excellent first half,
the Royals built up a big 51-37 lead
by halftime. At the outset of the second
half, it looked as though Bethel would
blow Westmar right off the floor. Led
by Craig Oslin, the Royals built up
a seemingly insurmountable 81-60 lead.
From there, words can hardly describe
what happened. Failing to slow the game
down, the Royals looked pathetic and
played hapless basketball. Hitting only
6 of 19 from the free throw line in
the second half, a mere 32 percent,
the Royals staggered while Westmar
came storming back. Though it didn't
seem possible, the Royals lost 90-87.
Curt Oslin again led Bethel scorers
with 25 points. Don Carey added 16
points and Paul Healy scored 15 while
grabbing 10 rebounds. Craig Oslin scored
14 points, all in the second half. Clearly,
the outcome of the game was decided
by Bethel's failure to slow the game
down and their failure to convert from
the free-throw line.
This weekend the Royals travel to
South Dakota. Tonight they play at Yankton
and tomorrow afternoon at Sioux
Falls. In a small conference such as
the Tri-State a few wins can make
a big difference in the ·standings. The
Royals will need to win at least one
game on the road to stay out of the
Royals plagued
by forfeits; next
match at St. Olaf
The Bethel Royal Wrestling team traveled
to Ashland, Wisconsin on Tuesday,
February 3, to defeat Northland College
for the first time in nine years.
Trailing by twelve points after giving
up forfeits in the 118 and 126-pound
classes, freshman Scott Urquhart started
the team in motion as he picked up
a win by decision in the 134-pound class.
Jerry Miller followed suit in the next
match at 142 pounds as he defeated his
opponent decisively. At 150 pounds, Mike
Reeves accelerated the momentum by
sticking his opponent. Jim Morud picked
up a win by fall at 158 pounds, and
then it was Bethel's turn to take some
free points as Northland forfeited to
Jeff Zitloff at 167 pounds. Rick Smith
put victory out of Northland's reach
after his 177 pound match, pinning his
opponent. At 190 pounds, freshman Barret
Holmgren suffered a tough loss, and
at heavyweight, Gary Peterson, returning
from a long lay-off in Israel, also had
to face defeat. The Royal wrestlers re-turned
with a 30-24 victory.
On a long, tiring road trip to Yankton,
South Dakota on Friday, and to Orange
I City, Iowa on Saturday, the Royals, still
void at 118 and 126-pounds, were unable
to reap a victory by team points. However,
not including the twelve points
that Bethel rendered in forfeits, the Royals
defeated Yankton 17-14, and lost to
a tough Black Hills State team, 19-14
on Friday.
The following morning at Orange City,
Bethel lost to the perennial Conference
champions, Westmar, 19-9 by several
close decisions, and defeated Northwestern
16-13 in actual competition.
Mike Reeves led the team as he pocketed
four wins on the road trip. Gary
Peterson, suffering from an ailing knee,
carried home three victories, while Jerry
Miller and Rick Smith won two and
tied one. Jeff Zitzloff added two victories
and Jim Morud managed one win.
On Wednesday the Royals take on
Carleton and st. Olaf on another road
Girls B-ball breeds excitement
by Mark Troxel
So you think basketball is a game
reserved only for hairy-legged, long-armed,
tube-socked, be-jocked, behemoths -
men who can . leap tall buildings in a
single bound and move faster than a
wife-hungry upper classman at Welcome
Week. Well, you're wrong, as anyone
who has attended a Bethel women's basketball
game will attest to. Women's
basketball breeds an excitement and enthusiasm
reminiscent of one's earlier
It is just this enthusiasm that fosters
a sense of true sport for the few fans
who support the women. Unfortunately,
for those of you who have never seen
a women's basketball game, the season
is almost 'Over with the final home
game being played last Monday night.
As of last Saturday, the Royals had
a 5-6 record with three games to play.
Coach Shirley Dawson expected the team
to win its last three however, to end
up with a respectable 8-6 won-loss record.
Miss Dawson said that she was satisfied
with the performance of this year's team
/3/5 - 4th St. S.E. Minneapolis
but lamented, "It's hard to develop ~
program from one year to the next
when you can't keep people out for
the team. I only have three or four
back from last year's team, but I hope
to have more back from this team for
next year."
Basically, the women play the same
game as the men. The real difference
is that most women haven't played as
much basketball as most men and so
have less body control and don't shoot
as well. As a result, most teams play
a zone defense in order to force the
other team to shoot from the outside.
This being the case, one good outside
shooter can make a big difference to
a women's basketball team.
This has been part of the problem
of this year's team as Bethel's best
shooter, Cathy Olsen, has been injured
for several games. Nevertheless, Bethel
is competitive with teams from private
schools of our size. In . appraising Bethel
basketball, Dawson declared, "We rank
somewhere in the middle of women's
basketball teams in this state."
Women's basketball is like a class
with Russ Johnson; it has to be experienced
to be appreciated. For those of
you who still have not discovered women's
basketball, the Royals play their
last game Tuesday night at Normandale
Community College and would appre
cia te all the fan support they can

Italy: Roberto Baggio has resigned from his role with the Italian football federation after claiming his recommendations for improving the national game were ignored.
Baggio was tasked with restoring direction to Italian football after Marcelo Lippi`s World Cup holders flopped in their defence of their title at the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
The former Juventus and Inter star said the federation had shown apathy towards his plans for over a year.
"I presented my project in December 2011, 900 pages, but they remained empty words," the 45-year-old told Italian television.
"I don`t like just sitting on a chair but [rather] to do things, therefore reluctantly I have decided to leave," Baggio said.
In October Baggio made his frustrations known in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
He said: "So far there has only been one successful initiative, a well-attended course in Tuscany that was free and well attended by clubs from Pisa and Pontedera."

THE Dane Bank terrace, an iconic part of Northwich Victoria's former homes, has been acquired by a rival football club.
FC United of Manchester announced this week that a space behind one of the goals at its new ground in Moston will be built using steel work from the stand.
Officials at the supporter-owned club say they consulted their counterparts at 1874 Northwich before buying the bits they wanted.
"With their blessing we moved forward," said Andy Walsh, general manager at FC United.
"It was important to us the concerns of Northwich fans were taken into account.
"They were worried most that the Dane Bank could be lost forever, but their club was not in a position to salvage it."
Without FC United's intervention, the metal would have been melted down and sold as scrap.
The Evo-Stik Northern Premier League club made a bid for the stand in March as part of an auction of the now former Victoria Stadium's assets, but it was rejected.
David Hewitt, managing director of Thor Specialities (UK) Ltd that bought in January 2012 land on which the ground was built, invited Walsh to look again at the possibility of using part of the Dane Bank at FC United's proposed home.
He did so with the blessing of Cheshire West and Chester Council, which approved the chemicals manufacturer's proposal to redevelop the nine-acre site in Wincham earlier this year.
"For us, demolition was always a last resort," said Hewitt.
"We wanted to salvage the stadium in some way, so looked carefully at what we had and how we could adapt it to fit with what FC United had [planning] permission to do."
Lancaster firm TP Stadco has already started to re-engineer the steel ready for use in Moston.
Walsh added: "I've stood on the Dane Bank to watch a match at the Drill Field – it's an old fashioned traditional terrace that was popular too with our supporters when we played at the Victoria Stadium.
"As a club, we're conscious of its heritage and how proud Northwich fans were when it was built. We want to record that history in some way when our ground opens."
1874 Northwich chairman Paul Stockton says he is glad the stand will not be scrapped.
He added: "We're pleased a fellow supporter-owned club can now benefit from and enjoy what is a fantastic asset. We're sure it's in safe hands."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The University of Buffalo defeated MIT crew in driving rain, Saturday, along the Charles River. Although poor weather forced some crews to modify its races, most of the women's teams completed the entire 2000-meter course, with the novice lightweights highlighting the day's events.
MIT's novice lightweights finished its race in 5:37.01, just over one second back of Buffalo's varsity lightweight team. The narrow defeat was an encouraging sign for the lightweight program, which lost its bid for an upset against an extremely competent opponent.
Competing on Sunday, in much better conditions, the women's varsity eight finished third overall in its race, losing to the Bulls and first-place finishes, the University of Rhode Island. Squeezing into the race, URI easily outpaced Buffalo and the Engineers, winning with a clip of 7:11.84. MIT crossed the finish in 7:32.01.
The women's varsity four also entered a boat on Sunday, but a strong start by Rhode Island enabled the Rams to seal a win in that race as well.

London: Prescribing self-help books to patients with depression could be an effective treatment, a study has found.
Patients offered books, plus sessions guiding them in how to use them, had lower levels of depression a year later than those offered usual GP care.
The effect was seen in addition to the benefits of other treatments such as antidepressants, according to Scottish researchers.
Such an approach may help the NHS tackle demand for therapy, they said.
More than 200 patients who had been diagnosed with depression by their GP took part in the study, half of whom were also on antidepressant drugs.
Some were provided with a self-help guide dealing with different aspects of depression, such as being assertive or overcoming sleep problems.
Patients also had three sessions with an adviser who helped them get the most out of the books and plan what changes to make.
After four months those who had been prescribed the self-help books had significantly lower levels of depression than those who received usual GP care.
A year later, those in the self-help group were more likely to be keeping on top of their depression.
Study leader Prof Christopher Williams, from the University of Glasgow, who also wrote the books called `Overcoming Depression` and `Low Mood`, said that the guided sessions were the key to getting people engaged.
The sessions can be delivered in general practice without referral to a specialist, taking pressure off waiting lists.
In Scotland, a telephone support service has now been set up to help support those using the books, which can be freely copied and disseminated, he added.
The study is published in the journal Plos One.

I've never been a fan of Black Friday, it's a celebration of everything terrible world: consumerism gone wild, so wild these days that it can lead to violence.
Take for instance, this story out of the Chicago area:
A 13-year-old boy went to a local Walmart with his father in hopes of picking up a copy of a "Batman game", I'm betting it was Batman: Arkham City, only to get punched in the face by another shopper, an adult apparently.
The teen was waiting outside the story with a group of people when one of the people in the group, an unidentified man, warned everyone there that he was going to shove anyone who got in the way of his getting the game he wanted.
The doors opened and the group made their into the store and to the video games. When the boy reached for the game he wanted, the man punched him in the face and then ran away.

This flower-like structure is the Singapore ArtScience Museum which is part of the new Marina Bay Sands Hotel & Casino. The MBS is also the first casino in Singapore. On the opposite side of the bay is the central business district where you can also see the iconic Merlion.
Singapore began as a boat quay at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Its early days bear few written accounts which are made more difficult to interpret due to the many names it has had. Its original name in Malay meant "island at the end" of the peninsula.In the middle ages there was a settlement here with a trading post and fishing village; today Singapore technically contains sixty-three small islands. Here's a good view of the city from Merlion Park and up close at Raffles Place.From the fifteenth century onwards Singapore's warring neighbors took turns taking over control of the city. Over the past five centuries this port city has been the property of Siam, the Majapahit Empire of Java, Thailand, Portugal, Britain, Japan and Malaysia. Singapore finally achieved its independence in 1959 and has existed as the Republic of Singapore, a UN member nation.Singapore is really interesting because it's one of only five sovereign city-states which survived the colonial expansion period of world history. (The others are Vatican City, Monaco, San Marino and Andorra.) Its history as a busy port city has brought traders from all over the world, and their influence is commemorated in some interesting works of art. For example, see the British tea merchants along the Singapore river, and the Asian Civilizations Museum.In the nineteenth century Singapore was a major port for ships traveling between Europe and East Asia. During WWII the Battle of Singapore ended with the largest British surrender in history -- nearly 130,000 troops.Next time you have the chance to pass through Singapore, make sure to visit the zoo and see the white tigers, and be glad there's a fence in between. Also note how clean the city is, even under a bridge.Text by Steve Smith.

Having a sharp memory recall can be as simple as finding ways to help jog your memory throughout the day.
Here are 10 quick ideas:
WRITE IT DOWN. With the amount of things you have to remember in any given day, why should you try to stuff it all into your memory bank? When you want to remember something, the very best thing to do is write it down. Then, when you need to recall it, it will be there for you in an instant.
KEEP IT TOGETHER. When you write down things you want to remember, keep them in one consistent place. Otherwise, you're going to spend a lot of time looking for your notes.
MAINTAIN GOOD HEALTH. Eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, and exercise. These are all important for your memory, staying focused and being alert.
RECORD YOUR THOUGHTS. Sometimes you might want to remember something, but it's impossible for you to write it down, such as when you're driving. A little hand held tape recorder is a wonderful gadget to carry around with you and record your thoughts, or your parking space number, or a phone number you see on a billboard.
CALL YOURSELF. If you're at the office, and you want to do something when you arrive home, call your answering machine and leave yourself a message. When you get home, you'll listen to your message and remember exactly what you wanted to do.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. If you keep saying you have a bad memory, you'll probably continue to have a bad memory. It's important to have a motivated, I CAN remember attitude.
SEND YOURSELF E-MAIL REMINDERS. There are many free e- mail reminder services available. You simply type in what you want to remember, such as a birthday, anniversary or event, and you then receive an e-mail reminder when the date is approaching.
POST STICKY NOTES. Those wonderful, little sticky notes can be amazing memory helpers. Want to remember something before you leave the house? Jot it down on a Post-It Note and stick it on the inside of your door. You'll be sure to see it as you're getting ready to walk out. Have to make an urgent call first thing in the morning? Leave a Post-It Note on your telephone.
SET TIMERS AND ALARMS. Take advantage of alarm clocks and timers throughout the day. Have to take the clothes out of the wash at 3:00? Set your alarm clock to remind you. Want to leave for the basketball game by 6:15? Set your timer to beep a few minutes before.
USE VISUAL REMINDERS. Visual reminders can help you remember and focus. I especially like visual reminders for remembering your goals. If your goal is to take a trip to a beautiful island in a few years, keep a magazine photograph of the island right on your desk. If your goal is to own your own business one day, find a picture or ornament that will help remind you of this goal each day.

The South African economy is growing faster—but how fast?
The South African economy has been off to a good start in 2018. Statistics SA, the country's national statistical service, released national accounts figures with revisions that pointed to more positive momentum in the economy than previously thought. South Africa grew by 1.3% in 2017, beating the consensus estimate of economists, and the revised numbers no longer record a technical recession early in the year.

Ray Tracing in Games: A Story from The Other Side
IGAD curriculum
Recently, there has been quite some discussion about the possible future use of ray tracing in games. Industry veterans such as John Carmack (ID Software), Tim Sweeney (Epic Games), Cevat Yerli (Crytek) as well as graphics experts such as David Kirk (NVidia) and Daniel Pohl (Intel) gave their opinion on the subject. With Intel's Larrabee, their acquisition of Offset Studios, and references to FarCry 2 subtly linked to ray tracing, there is plenty of food for thought. NVIDIA is also involved: The takeover of Mental Images and RayScale indicate that they also keep their options open.
Whether or not ray tracing will take over rasterization in the foreseeable future remains unclear. Some emphasize the benefits of pure ray tracing, others expect a hybrid system, where ray tracing is 'just another feature'. Game developers are reluctant to take the plunge: There is little actual data, no 'killer demo', and no proof of concept.
Compared to rasterization, ray tracing promises a simplified production process, both on the art side and the programming side; it promises more realistic graphics, and better scalability. At the same time, ray tracing is simply slower: It is generally associated with low resolutions, simple meshes, and poor shading, because of this. It would be interesting to look at the development process of an actual game, to see what really works as expected, and what doesn't.
A ray tracer is simple, compared to a full-fledged GPU based 3D engine. Traditional engines need to stack together a large array of algorithms to approach realism; a ray tracer does most advanced effects using the same code. Also, the fact that all features of a ray tracer work effortlessly together, reduces the need for lots of special cases.
A hybrid renderer, on the other hand, makes sense since the most common task of any rendering algorithm, namely finding the 'first hit' (the parts of the scene that are directly visible from the camera) is far more efficient using a rasterizer. The ray tracer could then be used for the parts that a rasterizer doesn't do well: Correct reflections and refractions.
Over the past year, students of the IGAD course of the NHTV University of Applied Sciences (Breda, The Netherlands) worked on two games using a real-time ray tracer for rendering. This article looks back on the development of these games. The aim of this article is to contribute to the discussion from a different point of view: Looking back.
An important part of the IGAD curriculum is the GameLab: One full day a week, students work on game projects, putting into practice the lessons learned, and working together as a team on material for their portfolios. Most of the time, we use some existing game engine as a basis for our projects. Starting in the second half of the first year, one of the options is an experimental real-time ray tracer: Arauna. This is an in-house developed high-performance ray tracer, focusing on rendering alone: Game-engine wise, the teams basically need to start from scratch.
Over the course of this year, two groups of students opted for the ray tracer. The first group started working on Outbound, a Myst/Riven type of game. The second team wanted to build an action game, Let there be Light, which is somewhat similar to Descent.

The Derek Walcott Square is at the heart of the St. Lucia's capital, Castries. It is named after the Honourable Derek Walcott, the St. Lucian author who, in 1992, won the Nobel Prize for Literature. There is a monument to St. Lucia's war dead, and a large Samaan tree, known locally as the Massav tree. It is said to be over 400 years old. At the eastern end of the square is the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the illustrations on the interior walls and the altarpiece are the work of local artist Dunstan St. Omer. The Central Library is on the western corner of the square.

Hetepu (Peace) Family.
I must apologize for not tending to this blog like I had in the past. This has been a real busy time for me. Those of you who have been following this know that every since my rebirth. I have been on fire. Well, I started writing my new book and here recently I just got a promotion, which proves that the spirits don't function according to physical laws. They are held by a different set of principles. In other words, they don't care about it being a recession. That only affects the natural or physical plane. If you fight Set on his playing field using his rules, you'll never win. That's why Hru had to get help from Osar. The whole situation reminded me of a section I am writing in my upcoming book. Here's a small excerpt...hope you enjoy.
Tarrying for the Spirit
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God..." 1 John 4:1
I am reminded by my ba (guardian angel) of the olden days when people use to tarry for the Holy Ghost the same way. Remember, before salvation became big business how there used to be a Prayer Room and that room was funky. I mean it smelled funky and had that funky vibe like people had been throwing down. If you don't remember, let me tell you. There would be a woman or several women called missionaries (usually dressed in white reminding me of the Santeria Francisca) that would go to this room with you with a bunch of other people. In this little cramped up, no ventilation room (because it was always hot) there would be pews surrounding the walls. Sometimes in one corner there would be a stack of old beat up bibles with curled covers. You would go kneel on the floor and repeat only two phrases, "Thank you Jesus" and "Hallelujah" over and over. Eventually, you would do it so much that you would begin speaking gibberish or what is called "speaking in tongues," because none of what you said makes logical sense. This is how you knew you got the Holy Ghost. This is what was called Tarrying for the Spirit.
Now, the fact that I grew up in the church and saw people get struck by the Spirit who would speak in tongues in a minute, then right after they left church would revert right back to their backstabbing, lying, cheating and you name it, hellish ways. I had to conclude that these people weren't struck by the "Holy Spirit" but simply by a "spirit", and that spirit most likely was someone that was very close to them. Of course, if this individual would have been properly educated about spirits they would have known that their actions, behaviors and thoughts attracted certain types of spirits to them. This is the reason most likely the individual reverted back to their old ways. Now that we have a better understand what spirits are. What we need is that old prayer room, but this time it needs to be revised to represent all of the spirits. So that we know which spirits we are attracting and which ones are not of God.

Stress Free Start
I am a Developmental Therapist in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). I have 18 years experience in the field of infant massage therapy and parent edcuation. I am currently the Director of the Tender Touch program (touch therapy education for parents on how to touch/interact with their premature baby)in the NICU at a large hospital in Kansas City, MO. My company, Stress Free Start, has been started to increase awareness about the many negative effects of stress on a developing infant's brain, nervous system and relationship with their family. I also educate about how touch/massage help promote relaxation, nurturing, bonding and attachment and therefore, can help to cement the family bond and help prevent abuse and neglect.
Medical personnel who are working in either the Newborn Nursery (well babies) and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU; medically fragile/premature babies). I also will be looking to market to educators who work in the field of preventing abuse and neglect and in parent education.
I am seeking a logo design that is somewhat "childish" or "kidlike" in nature; perhaps a cartoon or simple line drawing. I don't want it to be serious looking but rather, somewhat whimsical so that it appeals to people who work in the baby business. It can reflect a really relaxed baby and can include 2 parents or be a baby on its own. I am attaching an example of a logo done for a friend of mine through 99designs that is similiar to what I am looking for.
It should be something "soft" that will reflect the company goal of promoting bonding/attachment, nurturing touch and stress reduction.
I am also very open to creativity; my company is somewhat esoteric by nature so I am also looking for some direction creatively.

Ivy Bridge-E versus Haswell-E and the gang
Subject: Processors | March 17, 2015 - 03:20 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom

TechPowerUp has put together a quick overview of the differences of Intel's current offerings for your reference when purchasing a new machine or considering an upgrade. The older i7-4770K would run you $310 as compared to $338 for the i7-4790K or $385 for an i7-5820K while the i7-4960X would set you back $1025. Is it worth upgrading your machine if you have an older Haswell, or going full hog to pick up the $1000 flagship model? The results are presented in a handy format and while perhaps not an in depth review the results are quite striking, especially the performance while gaming.
"We review the Haswell-E lineup by pitting all its processors against each other and the Ivy Bridge-E Intel Core i7-4960X, Haswell Refresh Intel Core i7-4970K, and Haswell Intel Core i7-4770K. If you are looking to build a high-end gaming PC, or are looking to upgrade, then look no further: This review will tell you which CPU you will want to get to cover your needs."

If you are looking for a tiny system that you don't have to assemble yourself then CyberPowerPC is a good source as they have released their Zeus Mini-I 780. Measuring a mere 13" tall, 4.4" wide and 17.4" deep (33x11x44cm) this system is rather tiny and tightly packed for as the name suggests it does contain a EVGA GeForce GTX 780. You will also find an i7-4770K a Gigabyte Z87N-WiFi and 16GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws X DDR3-1866; pretty hefty stats for such a small box. As you might expect Custom PC Review saw the CPU get quite toasty, a maximum of 96ºC was recorded under synthetic load though the system stayed stable while running at that temperature. Check out the full review to see how it performed.
"Today we'll be reviewing the CyberPowerPC Zeus Mini-I 780, which is a brand new system from CyberPowerPC that was unveiled for the first time at CES earlier this year. Unlike most CyberPowerPC systems that simply use off the shelf parts, CyberPowerPC decided to up the ante with the Zeus Mini by not only making the..."

Tagged: q6600, i7-4770k, upgrade
Haswell has not been recieved with screams of joy from enthusiasts as we appreciate the power savings but are honestly more interested in MOAR POWER! As an upgrade from Ivy Bridge there are only a few benefits but what about updating from an old Q6600 on an X38 motherboard? That is what Legit Reviews just did, moving to a Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H and i7-4770K and as an upgrade it is more than impressive; everything from gaming to the productivity of the system skyrocketed as you can see below. If you are still running a Q6600 on your main rig it looks like saving your pennies would be a very good idea.

"We all love doing computer upgrades, but sometimes we have to ask ourselves if a full system upgrade is worth it or necessary. There are times that you may only gain a small percentage of a performance boost, where there are other times that you gain significant increases. Today I am going to compare my original Intel Kentsfield CPU and X38 motherboard to a shiny new Haswell CPU and Z87 motherboard."

Intel Prevents Overclocking of non-K Haswell Processors, and Strips Virtualization and TSX Features From K Parts
Subject: Processors | June 13, 2013 - 09:59 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tsx, overclocking, Intel, i7-4770k, haswell
First revealed at IDF Beijing, Intel's latest generation 4th Generation Core "Haswell" processors enjoy a refined architecture, improved processor graphics, an integrated voltage regulator (FIVR), and for the enthusiast crowd, new methods for overclocking.
In truth, the methods for overclocking Haswell are very similar to those used to overclock Intel's Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors. However, Intel has further unlocked the new Haswell CPUs. Enthusiasts can set an overclocked Turbo clockspeed, use additional base clock (BCLK) values (100 MHz, 125 MHz, and 167 MHz), and overclock the unlocked processor graphics core clockspeed and memory clockspeed (memory in 200 MHz or 266 MHz steps). The additional BCLK values allow for easy overclocks without putting the other subsystems (such as the PCI-E bus, GPU, and memory) out of spec, which is important for the PCI-E bus which needs to be close to 100 MHz for a stable system.
The following PC Perspective articles have further information on overclocking unlocked "K" edition Haswell processors:
- Integrated Voltage Regulator and Overclocking Haswell - Ryan pushes a Core i7-4770K to 4.6GHz
- Intel Talks Haswell Overclocking at IDF Beijing - Intel outlines overclocking features of Haswell at IDF
Although Intel's overclocking reveal at IDF was fairly detailed, the company did not get into specifics on how overclocking would work on non-K chips.
On that note, the crew over at the Tech Report uncovered some rather disheartening facts such that the non-K edition Haswell processors will, essentially, be locked at stock speeds and not overclockable (they are slightly more locked down than previous generations).
While the K edition Haswell processors, such as the Core i7-4770K, will enjoy unlocked multipliers, unlocked GPU and memory clockspeeds, and additional BCLK options, the standard non-K chips (ie Core i7-4770, Core i5-4670, et al) will have locked multipliers, no Turbo Boost clockspeed overclocking, and will not be allowed to use the additional 125 MHz and 167 MHz BLCK options, which effectively makes overclocking these standard chips impossible. It may still be possible to push the BLCK up a few MHz, but without the extra
stepping and gearing ratio options, the other component clockspeeds based off that same base clock are going to go out of spec and will become unstable fairly quickly as you try to push that BLCK up.
There is one saving grace for enthusiasts considering a non-K part, however. The standard non-K CPUs will have Intel's latest TSX extensions and enterprise virtualization technologies enabled.
Although quite the head scratcher, Intel has decided to disable TSX, vPro, and VT-d on the unlocked K edition chips. The TSX extensions are not widely used yet, but will provide a noticeable performance boost to future programs that do take advantage of them by allowing developers to essentially mark off sections of code that can be run independently, and thus increase the multi-threaded-ness of the application by running as much code in parallel across multiple cores as possible. Further, the vPro and VT-d features are used by virtual machine applications (with VT-d being more relevant to the consumer side of things).
In short, Intel has continued to lock down and artificially limit its chips, as many enthusiasts suspected would happen. Standard non-K Haswell processors are more locked down than ever, and even the premium unlocked K CPUs suffer with the (odd) removal of TSX and virtualization support. As Mr. Gasior points out, enthusiasts are going to be faced with an odd choice where they can either spend extra money on a premium K part that will overclock but is limited in other ways, or go with the lower cost part that has all of the ISA extensions and virtualization support turned on... but is not overclockable.
In my opinion, locking down the standard chips is one thing-- Intel needs to incentivize enthusiasts to go with the more expensive (~$25 premium) unlocked K processors some how -- but if those same enthusiasts are spending extra money for a premium chip, they should get all the features the accompanying non-K SKU has as well as overclocking.
What do you think about the artificial limitations placed on the various Haswell SKUs?
How well does Haswell do Ubuntu?
Subject: General Tech | June 5, 2013 - 01:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, haswell, ubuntu 13.04, i7-4770k
The story is familiar as you can quickly see from this quote in Phoronix's review of Haswell on Linux, "Polished Haswell support coming to an "out of the box" Linux desktop won't really be there until later in H2'2013." However that does not mean it does not work at all, they tested several kernels and versions to find the most stable way to run Haswell and to take advantage of the internal GPU. They successfully tested with Linux 3.10 kernel, Mesa 9.2, GCC 4.8.1, and LLVM 3.3 and found performance improvements across the board when compared to Ivy Bridge processors which could be a good reason to consider holding out on an Ivy Bridge CPU as an upgrade choice, as Intel is working to improve Haswell support and it is a much improved CPU compared to previous generations.
"This past weekend I shared the first experiences of running Intel's new Haswell CPU on Linux. While Intel Haswell is a beast and brings many new features and innovations to the new Core CPUs succeeding Ivy Bridge, there were a few shortcomings with the initial Linux support. It still appears that the Core i7 4770K is still being finicky at times for both the processor and graphics, but in this article are the first benchmarks. Up today are benchmarks of the Intel Core i7 4770K when running Ubuntu 13.04 with the Linux 3.10 kernel."

This spring has been unusually busy for us here at PC Perspective - with everything from new APU releases from AMD, new graphics cards from NVIDIA and now new desktop and mobile processors from Intel. There has never been a better time to be a technology enthusiast though some would argue that the days of the enthusiast PC builder are on the decline. Looking at the revived GPU wars and the launch of Intel's Haswell architecture, 4th Generation Core processors we couldn't disagree more.
Built on the same 22nm process technology that Ivy Bridge brought to the world, Haswell is a new architecture from Intel that really changes focus for the company towards a single homogenous design that has the ability to span wide ranging markets. From tablets to performance workstations, Haswell will soon finds its way into just about every crevasse of your technology life.
Today we focus on the desktop though - the release of the new Intel Core i7-4770K, fully unlocked, LGA1150 processor built for the Z87 chipset and DIY builders everywhere. In this review we'll discuss the architectural changes Haswell brings, the overclocking capabilities and limitations of the new design, application performance, graphics performance and quite a bit more.
Haswell remains a quad-core processor built on 1.4 billion transistors in a die measuring 177 mm2 with integrated processor graphics, shared L3 cache, dual channel DDR3 memory controller. But much has changed - let's dive in.

New Details of Haswell, Intel Core 4000 Series Processors

A (translated) report coming from VR-Zone shows a table that is giving us just a bit more information about the upcoming Intel Haswell architecture and processors.
First, it looks like Intel is going to lean into the same naming scheme for these parts calling them the Core i3/i5/i7 4000 series parts, starting with the Core i7-4770K as the highest end option. It will be a quad-core HyperThreaded part with a maximum Turbo Boost frequency of 3.9 GHz, very similar to the speeds and feed of today.
Graphics will be updated and called the HD 4600 with a clock rate as high as 1250 MHz. The memory controller will remain dual-channel with support for DDR3-1600.
The only other item worth mentioning is the 84 watt TDP, up from the 77 watt TDP of the current Ivy Bridge lineup.
All that is left to know now is ... pretty much everything including the performance of these new cores, the new graphics architecture and how that higher TDP will be utilized.

Don't get us wrong, we love to see people sliding Nissan s-chassis, but turning a V8-swapped Volvo 240 wagon into a drift car is just so much cooler.
We've seen this car before and it's in the running with the soon-to-be-V8 Previa minivan as our favorite drift car of the year. Somebody needs to film this Volvo from back at the tailgate.

Like Cheers, Family Guy and, uh, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones is so wildly popular that the idea of a spin-off TV series isn't as crazy as you might think. Especially when you remember the franchise already kind of has a spin-off already.
Getting in ahead of the TV executives, professional writers and fanfic authors, then, we (and a Mr. Rowan Kaiser) thought we'd put the idea out to Twitter, see if we could get some names and ideas.
We got names and ideas. By the boatload.
Some are just funny. Some are frightening in how funny and suitable they'd be. All are pretty much great. You'll find the best of them below.
WARNING: Some spoilers ahead if you're not up to speed with the books.
