Communistic Views to Bethel to Receive Added
Be Quaker's Topic Enthusiasm from Visitors
Mr. George Watson, midwest sec-retary
of the Fellowship of Reconci-lation,
a Quaker organization, will
speak at Bethel March 7 on Chris-tianity
versus Communism.
He is sponsored by the Progres-sive
Discussion Group and will
speak to the P.D.G. in the after-noon
meeting. The evening session
is open tol all. Mr. Watson is a
young Canadian minister, enthusi-astic
about the historic Quaker
ideals of complete pacifism and
love in all human relations.
His tour from March 1-10 will
cover many local colleges as well
as the University of Minnesota. A
former P.D.G. speaker, Dr. Ren-shaw,
also of the F.O.R., aroused
the group's thinking along those
lines some time ago. John Dischin-ger,
working in behalf of the Dis-cussion
Group, was influential in
securing Mr. Watson as speaker at
this time.
Meetings of the P.D.G. are usual-ly
closed to any but society mem-bers.
However, the pertinence of
Mr. Watson's subject to present
world affairs and his view of paci-fism
caused the P.D.G. to schedule
him for a meeting open to all stud-ents.
Students Present
Gospel at Bedside
This year Bethel began a hospital
visitation program which enables
students to enter Twin-city hos-pitals
and present the gospel to
patients through song. B-Etta
Mayer, a Bethel student and mis-sionary
candidate for the Confer-ence,
is in charge of this work.
All hospitals were first contacted
by letter and groups then went out
prepared for various types of ser-vice.
The most effective method
of presenting the gospel in these
hospitals has been through the sing-ing
of old, familiar hymns that of-times
brought tears to the eyes of
patients who were reminded there

used as an opportunity to propa-gate
the gospel. About 7,000 tracts
were distributed in four days and
less than ten per cent were thrown

The second purpose was the pos-sible
awakening of lay Christian
leaders to their responsibility in
such matters. The third and minor
purpose was a protest against this
particular situation.
This was mainly an individual
project, originating with Ray Lev-ang

from the Seminary and College,
nurses from Midway Hospital,
young people from Temple Baptist
Church and a few other groups in

Council Initiates
Publication Inquiry
A publication committee consist-ing
of Roger Hedberg, Ray John-son,
Perry Hedberg, and Dave Os-terberg
has been appointed by the
Student Council to determine
whether there is a need for a pub-lications
board on campus.
The purpose of this committee is
to discover the ways in which such
a board could improve the publica-tion
departments and the method
by which this could be accomplish-ed.
The appointment of this commit-tee
was motivated by the desire of
the members of the publication
organization to improve the testi-mony
of the printed page.
The committee is not a board,
but if a publication board is found
desirable, it will be made up of
students and faculty members to
fulfill the above, mentioned objec-tives
and to discover any other
possibilities of such a board.

. . . This Is the Victory That Overcomes the World .. .
t e s t i m on y given by the dark
haired stranger during the "Say-So"
Meeting in chapel recently lies a
powerfully motivating faith and an
undauntable spirit.
Philippine-born Amado Chanco,
who has been at Bethel three
weeks as an unassuming Semi-nary
student, is the director of
Youth for Christ, founder of ten
churches and head of two na-tives
schools in his beloved Is-lands.
He came to the United
States last September in order
to acquire additional theological
training, acquaint Americans with
the opportunities of service in the
Philippines and obtain help in car-rying
on an extensive and entirely
Faith-Supported ministry.
A Catholic for 28 years, Mr.
Chanco, was a student of the
Manila Law School, working in the
National library, when he was first
touched by the gospel. After four
months of debate with a Minnesota
missionary, Mr. F. E. Gulbranson,
Mr. Chanco finally accepted Christ.
Leaving law school he began to
preach salvation's message. With
the out-break of the last war came
also his call to the ministry and
all through the conflict the assur-ance
remained that he would be
preserved to fulfill that calling. In
four years ten churches with size-able
.congregations .have .been
founded by Mr. Chanco in the midst
of Catholicism and paganism, as
an evidence of his fruitful ministry
in the gospel. He tells of one poor,
b u t .Bible-hungry, .congregation
which paid ten precious dollars
for a worn copy of the scriptures
and how they prize its sacred
Forcefully brought home to him
during the war years, when almost
all missionary activity had been
halted by prision internment, was
the great need for native evan-gelists.
To meet this need by estab-lishing
a Philippine Bible Institute
in connection with his jungle
school amidst pagan tribes in Min-danao
became the burden of Amado
Chanco's heart. The school was
named Edenton, a pagan word
meaning Paradise Regained, be-cause
at last someone had come
who cared for a people poverty-stricken
and miserable.
Edenton boasts of seven palm-and-
bambo buildings, a staff of ten
who receive no salaries, and 100
students. Enrollment has been as
high as 160 but lack of supplies
to maintain that number forced
many to return to their pagan
tribes. The school's present pro-gram
includes elementary, agricul-tural
and high school training. Al-though
the school is so poor that
there is only one fountain pen
among its nine teachers — some-times
no soap for washing clothes
—often no garments to cover near-naked
pupils—the staff carries on,

Mr. Chanco, in his interview, re-counted
many miracles of God's

of Dr. Orr's stories of
faith. Humanly s p e a k i n g, Mr.
Chanco says he would have quit
long ago, but because his only rea-son
for living is to serve God, he
carries on.
He is trusting the support of his
family of eight to the Lord, and is
working three hours daily in the
Bethel birary for his room and

the advantages America af-fords,

Some Thoughts
On Picketing
Ingrid (pardon the expression) Bergman
and her producer-lover have stirred the
tongues and imaginations (if nothing else)
of America. It is most coincidental that
the birth of Miss Bergman's child should
correspond so neatly with the opening of
"Stromboli". This coincidence coupled with
the suggestive advertising brought protests
from Christian and non-Christian alike. The
picketing of the picture by Christian stud-ents
(see page 1) as it opened in St. Paul
last week started a controversy over the
value of the picketing, which raged among
the students and faculty on the Bethel
Indictments of "sensationalism". "rabble
rousing", "negative approach", "more pub-licity
for Stromboli", "bad publicity for
Christianity", "why just picket 'Stromboli' ",
"let he who is without sin cast the first
stone", etc. were gently hurled at the
pickets. Meanwhile the Twin City papers
had a field day. Indeed the publicity wasn't
the best, and some of the above charges
are valid criticizims. A protest might have
been better made in the form of a letter
placed in the Twin City papers by the
ministerial associations of the Twin Cities.
But, the situation also has a brighter
side. The people of the Twin Cities definite-ly
know that a Christian protest was made
—not against the picture, as such, but
against the type of advertising used to an-nounce
it. No matter what we think of
the method, it was, in a sense, preaching
against sin. The positive side of the protest
is the fact that over 7,000 gospel tracts
were handed out, and very few of them
were seen lying on the streets. People would
ask for a tract and read it on the spot. Let
him who has given out more gospel tracts
than that cast the first stone. Let us pray
for those who received the tracts first,
then voice our opinion about the methods.
Besides, some dear soul sent the school
$10.00 in appreciation of the pickets.
Oh, my aching back! I have just recover-ed
from being drop-kicked down the library
stairs by a bruising 115-pound college coed.
And all because I asked her a simple ques-tion
. . . 'Where do you spend your spare
time?" Along with the well-placed boot,
she sneered, "I should live so long as to
have spare time at Bethel!" Such an en-thusiastic
response, however, set my axe-grinding
wheels in motion and I hope it
will be sharp enough to cut crimson ribbon,
at least.
One of the more pleasant aspects of get-ting
an education is the ever-present field
of social relationships. Somehow, that
course finds its way into everyone's cur-riculum
even though no one registers for it.
Ah, but where to find an equipped class-room
is a real problem. By equipment, of
course, I mean comfortable furniture, radio,
absence of glaring lights, etc. In one word,
it would need "atmosphere." Now a Stud-ent
Union would be just such a place but
for that we would have to install bus ser-
Two vital issues have been raised con-cerning
Bethel's building project for the
spring of 1950. To stimulate your thinking
we have listed below varying opinions of
several of the more sagacious individuals
on our campus.
How many are in favor of installing eleva-tors
in the college building?
"Big" Bill Wright: To that suggestion I
vice hearty approval and if not a passenger
elevator, at least a system of dumb-waiters
from the coffee shop to each class room,
providing much needed stimulation along
about half way through each lecture. Of
course, there would be coffee for each pro-fessor,
Pat Pope: I'm in favor of keeping the
stairs. I believe that the majority of girls
need the exercise.
Russ Baustian: It doesn't make any dif-ference
to me; but depending on who the
operator is, I might be persuaded 'to do
my studying up there or between floors!
The second issue. Should we have a swim-ming
pool on campus and where should we
put it?
Bud Pierce: Definitely we should have a
swimming pool and it should be in the
basement of the library where the stacks
are at present. Put the stacks on the third
floor of the library building and then have
a driveway into the pool, to be used on
Saturday for those who would like to wash
their cars.
Joanne Johnson: I'm all for these-pro-jects,
but oh, for an enclosed passage from
the four dormitories to the college building
and library. Some cold wintry days, a stud-
Attention All Men!
It's Whisker Week
Be it resolved that from February 27th
1950 to March 10th, all male members of
Bethel Campus will comply with request
to allow chin-whiskers to grow unaided by
any lotion or salvo and,whiskers are not
to be injured in any way by the careless
use of razors for the entire period. This
is being effected so that students (male)
will have more time for studying due to
the fact of Founder's Week occuring the
week preceding "Final Week." This effort
is being initiated with the intent to induce
greater relaxation while preparing for ex-aminations.
There will be a prize offered
to the person who succeeds in growing the
longest beard during this period of two
weeks. The faculty are invited to participate
but will not be eligible for the prize offered
Friday night March 10th at 9 P.M. in the
Coffee Shop. Lets get started. It's Whisker
Week !III
This movement is spornsored by the
Coffee Shop Philosophers, C. Larson, Facul-ty
vice to the Coffman Union at the Univers-ity.
At Bethel it leaves the only alternatives
of (1) finding a friend who isn't using his
car (2) violating present dormitory rules or
(3) persuading a married couple to let you
visit them for an evening. Needless to say,
these are far from satisfactory solutions
to the problem and since we have available
facilities, it is a wholly unnecessary state
of affairs. I only hope that present rumor
becomes reality and the girl's dormitory
lounge is pressed into service as a general,
chaperoned lounge where fellows and girls
can meet for a serious discussion or friend-ly
chat. After all, there are few places that
are emptier than the girl's lounge when
the fellows aren't around.
Another sad commentary on attempted
regulation of spare time is the locked gym-nasium
during daily free hours and on Fri-day
evening. In effect, it serves to prohibit
any attempt at exercise on the part of the
students who do not participate in any
organized athletics and yet are paying equal
by Muriel
ent has to walk to the out-of-doors almost
ten whole minutes during the entire day.
Ear trouble, colds, sore throats and frozen
limbs could easily be eliminated by build-ing
the suggested tunnel.
Gordon Wood: A nice place to have a
swimming pool would be in the new field
house right beside the basketball court.
Dorothy Johnson seconds the motion to
have the swimming pool in the basement of
the library. Her reason: "These books get
plenty dry at times."
Marilyn Erickson: We could use a swim-ming
pool. There are enough "drips" around
here to fill it!
The Bill Lindroths have gone all out for
Bethel's famous Indian totem. They have a
real little Indian baby in their tepee. Per-haps
that explains all those war-whoops that
have been echoing from third floor.
Dan Cupid really celebrated this past
Valentine Day. The girls' dorm blossomed
out beautifully! "A certain young man sent
me some flowers today," related Kay Salzer.
"Don't say 'a certain young man,' my dear.
There is none of them certain until you've
got them," replied Lola Nelson.
* * *
Here is something that may prove worth
keeping in mind for our Prospective Stud-ent
Days coming up March 9, 10.
* * * *
The beauty of the dormitory is order;
The blessing of the dormitory is content-ment;
The glory of the dormitory is hospitality;
The crown of the dormitory is godliness.

require practice time but what about the
remaining time? Someone whispered very
seditiously in my ear the other day, "Don't
you know that only the poor students waste
time playing 'four horse' in the gym?"
Really, now. I'm sure that barring the gates
is going to drive them to the library.
Perhaps there's such a thing as wasting
time wholesomely but at any rate, where's
the logic in indiscriminately depriving all
students of an occasional game of basket-ball?
As I see it, the question boils down to
the philosophy behind the present regula-tions.
Are you achieving any purpose at
all by restriction of activity with no sub-stitute?
Can you lead a student to study
by leaving only the library doors open? The
answer is obvious. An expose' of present
recreational habits might be shocking but
perhaps that might be helpful in revealing
the urgency of this problem.
This is Founder's Week. We certainly
welcome all visitors on our campus—pastors
and friends from our churches.
We do pray and trust that every session
shall bring added blessings to all who can
be present.
We remember Dr. Alexis Edgren these
days, the founder of our Seminary in 1871—
but we would look above and beyond his
face to the face of the Christ he served.
We recall the story of his conversion as
a sailor boy. In his bunk asleep during a
snowstorm he dreamt that as he was going
to a worldly place of amusement in Sweden
he saw an earthquake crawling toward him
with its serpentine fire. It was clearly
about to destroy the place, for which he
was bound and seemingly would also enve-lop
him. He tried hard to avoid it, but could
not. Then he cried to God. But in the dream,
nevertheless, it burned his side.
He awoke with a start and leaped from
his bunk—but he could still feel the heat
of the burn. He examined his body, but saw
no scar. He ran to the deck—and there in
the night, in the storm he cried to God and
was saved.
His dream had been to become a great
navigator, and he attained unto that dream,
passing examinations with the highest
honor and finally commanding battle ships
in the Civil War in America. But there was
a call that was "higher far descended" and
deeper still in his heart. It was the call to
the Gospel ministry.
And so at the peak of his prominence and
against the earnest advice of high navy
officials, he resigned and gave himself to
preach the everlasting Gospel of the Son
of God.
He helped found the Bethel Seminary in
Stockholm, Sweden, and then our Seminary
in Chicago. He was a brilliant scholar, a
great linguist, a scientific thinker, an artist,
but also a great theologian; and, above all,
a humble servant of the Christ.
Look at his likeness in our Seminary hall
and I think you will see in the face some-thing
of the love of God, the passion for
souls, and the very presence of Jesus Christ.
Shall we pray that Dr. Edgren's Christ
may be ours—in all His fullness.

gave Henry Nelson third place at the Moor-head

for him a first place at the Eau Claire
Debate Tournament? Also, are you interest-ed
in hearing a humorous debate? Then
come to our next Tau Sigma Pi meeting

Here are the dates to keep open for an
hour of real fun in the evening: April 3,
April 17 and May 8. Tau Sigma Pi meets
then. Come and join the fun.
In talking to Dean Carlson the other day
he remarked about the main aim of Tau
Sigma Pi being one of his own main aims
in the speech line here at Bethel. It was
this : to develop Christian leadership on
campus by voluntary participation. Volun-tary
participation is stressed in our club
and no one is pressed to make a speech. It
is so designated that those who desire a
chance to speak have it. Thus a self confi-dence
may result whereby the students may
try out in Tau Sigma Pi any of the various
phases of speech. Through the club we hope
to produce more student leaders and to
encourage active participation in some
speech phase.
Our debate teams made a good showing
at Eau Claire last week and let's remember
them next week. During finals they will
be actively engaged in the St. Thomas
Debate tournament.

Sports Sketch
Kenny Greenman, playing his
fourth and final year with the
Indian cagers, is the only veteran
on this year's varsity basketball
team. The twenty-three year old,
six foot center has had an out-standing
record during his four
years with the Bethel five, having
been chosen All-Conference SMJCC
in '47-'48. In addition, he has been
high scorer for the Bethel varsity
every year he has played; last
year Kenny scored over 300 points
and this, year he has already rack-ed
up 280 points in 15 games.
"Greenie" originally hailed from
San Diego, California, where, for
two years, he played guard on the
Hoover High varsity. In his senior
year, 1945, his playing helped the
Hoover team to become the Califor-nia
state basketball champions.
Later, in the Navy at Pearl Harbor,
Kenny found time to keep up his
Kenny and his wife, Betty Jo,
plan to remain on the Bethel cam-pus
at least three more years—
until he completes seminary. Ken-ny
graduates from the senior col-lege
this year with a major in
philosophy and will enter the semi-nary
this fall. After seminary, mis-ison
work and/or youth work will
probably play an important part in
the Greenmans' lives.

Luther HereTues.,
Rochester Mar. 9
For the second time this season,
the Indians meet the cage squad
of Bethany Junior College of Man-kato,
tomorrow night at the Minne-haha
Academy Gym. The Bethel
"B" team will play a pre-game at
7:00 p.m. and the main event will
Start at 8:15.
Last January 13th, the Indians
topped the Bethany team 70-59 on
the Bethany court. Coach Edwards
recently stated that "Bethany is
one of the finest teams we've play-ed
this season and our coming
game with them will mean that our
team wil have to be at their best."
The last two Bethel games on
the schedule are home games. Next
Tuesday, the Indians will meet
Luther Junior College, of New Ulm
Minnesota.• Last January 14th, the
local cagers defeated Luther by a
5 point margin, 46-41. After the
Luther game, the Indians will get
over a week's rest until March the
9th, when they meet Rochester
Junior College, which they beat at
the beginning of the season 66-54.
The Rochester game will also be
a feature event on the program of
`Prospective Students Week'. Both
these last games will be played at
the Minnehaha Gym.
Last February 10th, Bethel de-feated
Austin 60-40 on the Austin
court. Pierce was high scorer for
the Indians with a 14 point total.
Greenman totalled 13 and Peterson
On February 11th, at the Minne-haha
gym, Waldorf was topped by
the Indians, 68-54. Greenman's 23
points gave him scoring honors,
with Pierce and Wood following
with 13 and 12 totals respectively.
Northland Tops
Bethel, 67-58
Proving that one of the most
important factors in basketball is
height, Northland College downed
Bethel, 67-58. The game was play-ed
at Ashland, Wisconsin on Feb-ruary
The Bethel quint, forced to shoot
from far out on the court could not
connect on their shots. Meanwhile
Les Howard, the big Northland
center was throwing in short lay-in
shorts to help run the first quar-ter
score to 18-10 for the Northmen.
In the second quarter, the stiff
defense of Northland continued to
hamper the style of the Redmen.
Unable to get any rebounds, the
Indians wer forced to play a slow
deliberate game very much op-posite
to their usual game. Ken
Greenman managed to toss in eight
points to narrow the gap to 29-24,
for Northland.
Fouls proved to be fatal for the
visitors in the second half as both
Gordy Wood and Don Peterson
were banished from the game with
nearly one quarter to be played.
Wood had eight points and Peter-son
seven. Bud Pierce connected
for five field goals in this half, but
to little avail as the final score
showed Northland the winner 67-
Ken Greenman scored 23 points
and Bud Pierce 13, while Les
Howard was high for Northland
with 18.

On February 21, in a return engagement at Brainerd, Bethel dropped
a 67-55 decision to Brainerd JC. The Brainerd team proved to be wizards
in the scoring division as they scored on 40% of their total shots. This
amazing shooting, coupled with the overwhelming height was too much
for the Indians to overcome.
Led by Perovich at guard who hit on five of six shots, the first
quarter was all Brainerd's as they assumed a 21-14 lead. The second
quarter found the Redmen still unable to cope with the situation and
the halftime score showed Bethel on the short end of a 34-25 score.
Ed Brockmen, who was Brainerd's high point man with 18, provided
the impetus in the second half as he connected for 16 of his points.
Meanwhile, Ken Greenman, did not hit on his shots, nor did the other
members of the team. The fourth quarter saw Bud Pierce, Bud Bjorndahl,
and Don Peterson ejected on fouls,
while five Brainerd players, with
four fouls, managed to stay in.
Finally two fouled with a half-minute
remaining. The scorching
barrage of Brainerd shots never
let up as they rolled to a final 12
point margin. Greenman was high
for Bethel with 18, followed by
Gordy Wood with 13.

Girl's basketball got off to a good start on Wednesday night, Feb-ruary
15th, when they defeated the U. of M. Ag. School girl's team 47-17.
Organization is a key-note in pre-game practice, as immediately upon
entering the court they divided up to practice lay-in shots. The team
appeared quite cool against the Ag. girls, making good their passes
and making use of their two dribble limit scoring mostly on lay-in shots.
Along with their scoring abilities, their new red uniforms, with white
lettering, makes them a team that Bethel can be proud of.

Coach Edwards has remarked to me that he hasn't been satisfied
with the attendance at the basketball games this season, and of - course,
anyone who has attended our games, no doubt feels the same way. The
proper proportion to represent our student body at the games has been
low at each game and I would make a plea that more of the students
come out to these last three games of the season which are all home
games. The only better place we could ask to go to see, our games would
be to have a gym of our own, but, since this desire cannot be fulfilled
this season, I don't know of a better place to watch a game than at
Minnehaha. If you haven't been coming out, make it a point to see the
last three games and support the team.

News and Views German Club Gives
from StudentCouncil Valentine Play,
If you've ever wondered what
goes on in the mind of your pro-fessors
as they stand before you
and lecture, you might be interest-ed
to know on what basis they size
up a student. The question put be
fore some of the members of the
faculty by inquiring reporter Ruth-ie
Jorgenson, was: "What quality
do you appreciate most in a stud-ent?"
Here are their answers:
MRS. SJORDAHL: "Give me a
student who is alive, awake to the
opportunities of the day, who ex-erts
sincere, concentrated and co-operative
effort in all that he un-dertakes
to do."
M R. OTTO: "I appreciate the
student who has an open-minded
inquisitiveness. This does not
necessarily include the person with
the highest mark, but the person
who wonders, asks questions and
who is really endeavoring to learn
MR. STJERNSTROM: "Dependa-bility,
above all else, is a quality
I admire. All other qualities are
of little value when this one is
M R. BLOOM: "Reverence. By
that I mean a deep respect for all
that should command respect. Also,
two other qualities which I admire
in a student are conscientiousness
and co-operation."
The Courier Quartet with Bruce
W o,o d m a n, instrumentalist, and
Wally Peterson as speaker, left on
a nine-day tour of five Midwest
states on the evening of Feb. 3rd.
The gospel team traveled 1,805
miles, holding services in ten Bap-tist
churches, the Pacific Garden
Mission in Chicago, and South
Dakota State Penitentiary. The trip
was made in a 1937 Pontiac under
crowded conditions, but God provid-ed
perfect spring weather the en-tire
At the services the quartet, com-posed
of Delmar Johnson, Ronald
Nelson, Len Anderson and John
Soneson, sang negro spirituals, then
several numbers of a more serious
nature leading up to the message.
Bruce Woodman, baritone soloist,
also played selections during the
first part of the service. Wally
Peterson gave the message.
Many made decisions of recon-secration
at nearly every service
and a number of individuals were
prayed with. Few unsaved were in
attendence at the services, it was
reported. The team feels Christians
should strive to bring the unsaved
to hear the Gospel.
This same question put to fellow-students
brought the following res-ponses:
HAROLD LIND, president of the
sophomore class: "The quality I'd
like to see most in students is
earnestness in tackling situations
and carrying them through to com-pletion
with the happiness and as-surance
that they have done the
best they could for the task that
was set before them."
Freshman BARBARA NELSON:
"Although it isn't the easiest quali-ty
to find, I admire honesty in a
student, not only in tests and such.
but honesty in doing one' own work
even when copying someone else's
notes is much less trouble."

At the last Student Council meet-ing
for the quarter, a committee
was appointed to study publications
on our campus. This committee to-gether
with a Faculty Committee
will discuss the advisability of
establishing a Publications Board
to coordinate our campus publica-tions.
One of the major items they will
investigate is the possibility of es-tablishing
a full tuition scholarship
for the editors of the Clarion and
Spire. This would enable students
who might otherwise have to work
outside school, to devote more time
to their editorial position.
Our publications are an import-ant
part of our campus life, and as
such, demand a great amount of
time and the greatest quality of
ability that can be given them. The
committee will gratefully receive
any suggestions that you may offer.
Help them in any way you can.
BWA Presents
Love of Christ
With the "Love of Christ" as the
theme, a program was given at
the regular B.W.A. meeting Thurs-day,
Feb. 16.
Lola Nelson, program chairman,
introduced the program. Audrey
Ekdahl and Barbara Mullin sang
two duets and Aileen Lindquist
gave a flute solo. Following the
musical part of the program, Kay
Salzer gave a short devotional mes-sage
contrasting the love that
humans display on Valentine's Day
to the constant and continual love
that Christ manifests. She closed
her talk by quoting the words of
the song, "The Love of God."
A musical background was furni-shed
by Lois Mitchell at the piano
as refreshments appropriate to
Valentine's Day were served.
The German Club was entertain-ed
by -a humorous play, a musical
selection and the reading of the
great love chapter all in the Ger-man
language, in its meeting on
Feb. 14.
The group was led in an opening
song, Gemeinsames Lied, by Presi-dent
Harvey Swanberg. Girls from
the first year class read I Corin-thians
13, and Anna Newell sang
I Love You, Dear, in German.
Students from the intermediate
class, . including . Emily . Ecklund,
Hanna Janke, Irene Kley, David
Brown and Harvey Swanberg pre-sented
the play, Einer Muss Heira-ten!"
or, One Must Marry, by Wil-helmi.
The plot, consisting of two
bachelor professors, an old maid
aunt, and a forced proposal, was
particularly appropriate for the
Valentine day theme of the meet-ing.
The play was briefed and direct-ed
for the occasion by Miss Nelson.
Following the meeting in the
lounge of Bodien Residence, was
a time of fellowship and feasting
in the dining hall.
ob'E4 'Itronli5e
To erica
One night last May when two of
us girls in the dorm were having
devotions together, I discovered
this verse in Psalm 138:8. "The
Lord will perfect that which con-cerneth
me." That same day had
been one of indecision for me.
Through the above verse I was
led to pledge my life anew to His
will and continue my preparation
for foreign missions unless He defi-nitely
led otherwise. Since then I
have seen the Lord work in count-less
ways, "perfecting that which
concerns me."
Now I understand that He has
definitely led otherwise and that
my missionary work is not to be
foreign as I had supposed. In the
years to come I hope to be doing
what I can to help the children and
young people in one of our small
Conference churches.
I can truthfully testify of the
real peace that comes in knowing
that my life belongs to the Lord
and that the future is in His hands.
Bethel Gains
Second Victory
Over Concordia
On St. Valentines Day the In-dians
tapped Concordia for the
second time this season with a
score of 60-50. Taking scoring hon-ors
for the Bethel five were Center
Ken Greenman, totalling 24 points
and Guard Bud Pierce who hit for
20. Concordia's ace forward, Mar-lin
Zobel, poured in a total of 36
points to top all scorers of the
Concordia took an early lead of
4-3, which was tied by a free throw
made by Woods. Greenman then hit
for a field goal for Bethel which
gave them the lead that was
neither overcome nor tied through-out
the remainder of the game. The
first quarter ended with Bethel out
in front 15-10. A free throw by
Wood, a field goal apiece for Peter-son
and Pierce, and seven points
by Greenman gave the Indians a
half-time lead of 27-22.
During the third quarter, the In-dians
strengthened their winning
margin to seven points to lead at
the opening of the final period 42-
35. In the final period, Concordia
narrowed their losing margin to
within two points of the Indians,
at 44-42, however, Bethel pulled
ahead again to a substantial lead
to win 60-50.

Q: How does the Total Exosome RNA and Protein Isolation Kit work?
A: The Total Exosome RNA and Protein Isolation Kit is developed specifically for exosome samples, and uses an initial Acid-Phenol: Chloroform extraction. This is followed by addition of ethanol to the aqueous phase, and then the sample is passed through a glass-fiber containing filter cartridge to immobilize the RNA. The filter is washed, and the RNA is eluted with a low ionic-strength solution. The kit recovers all RNA longer than ~10 nt up to several kb. (The majority of exosomal RNA ranges in size from ~20–300 nt.) The product manual also describes an additional protocol for enrichment of short RNA (<200 nt), but we recommend the total RNA isolation protocol in order to maximize recovery of all RNA, including various mRNA, rRNA, and ncRNA fragments.
The kit also provides an option to recover protein from the same sample through the use of the Exosome Resuspension Solution. The kit can be used to isolate RNA and protein from exosomes purified from any sample type using either the Total Exosome Isolation reagents or any other protocol such as ultracentrifugation.
Q: When ethanol is added, the solution turns turbid. Does this affect efficiency of RNA recovery?
A: No, the described effect does not have a negative effect on the RNA recovery.
Q: How much RNA can be recovered from the exosomes?
A: This can vary depending on the sample type, volume of sample, isolation method, and exosome content/concentration. Listed below are some examples:
- When exosomes are isolated from 30 ml of HeLa cell culture media using the Total Exosome Isolation (from cell culture media) reagent, it is possible to recover ~8 ng exosomal RNA.
- For exosomes recovered from 4 ml serum using the Total Exosome Isolation (from serum) reagent, ~2 ng exosomal RNA can be obtained.
In both cases, these amounts of RNA are sufficient for RNA library prep for Ion Torrent PGM or Proton sequencing. For real-time PCR analysis, substantially smaller amounts of RNA are needed and much lower sample volumes can be utilized. For example, RNA recovered from 3 μl serum or 30 μl cell media is enough for one RT-qPCR reaction.

So it's a holiday celebrating a lunatic in the desert who was about to kill his son because a voice in his head told him so and just before he did it he killed an innocent animal instead because that same voice told him so.
And you celebrate by killing more innocent animals? AND the public reaction to this is YAAAAY EL 3EED FAR7A MA2 MA2!
If this happened today that lunatic would be locked up.

The Model Driven Software Network
Raise your level of abstraction
There is a big fuzz around model driven development and all the goodness about it, its promises of a high level of agility, cut down of prices, reduction of technical risks etc. etc. Many including myself think that the model-centric approach is the future of software development, and several companies are doing their business of it and build the next generation platforms and tools for creating agile business applications.
So, why on earth is it that big ISV players like Microsoft, Sun, IBM did not clearly entered the game and just let emerging companies share the cake? If it is so much a golden egg, such big companies should have given it a try and invest a few million on it?
For information: I exclude here IBM MDA tools (Rational tools) from the discussion, as I am talking here about tools targeting business users, and functional modeling + generation of ready to use business applications. The Rational tools are modeling tools but targeting technical users.
My thoughts there:
Any comments most welcomed!
Views: 427
You can't say the big players aren't there yet. At least, Microsoft has been trying for years (think DSL tools and OSLO project).
The problem is that, because this is still unexplored territory, there is no clear path to the "right" (read, "best") MDD approach. Many are trying their own path (me and Microsoft included) and many will fail, some will succeed.
Anyway, big players don't need to spend money on this new ground. They will do as usual: they just let natural selection do its job, waiting for the survivors to grow and then buy them. Microsoft, being a big player, is trying because they like/try to build reality on their own terms...
Hello Rui,
Thanks for your feedback!
Well the big players have been trying yes, but did not succeed so far. The OSLO project is indeed canceled by Microsoft...
I am a big believer of MDD, don't get me wrong. However there are people who don't believe MDD will work and can then ask: if that's so interesting and magic, why big players don't do it? and how an unknown startup company can potentially succeed where big ones failed? This is a fair question that deserves a proper answer ...
I am quite sure there are reasons why the MDD tools market is a market for emerging companies (at least until a big player buy one of these small companies). I am trying to find what these reasons are. Any idea?
My guess is : moving to a MDD approach is a big paradigm shift that's hard to accomplish for big companies with successful development processes on place. Do you agree? can you think about other reasons?
"big companies with successful development processes on place"
Industry statistics tell a different story...
Ok fair enough :)
Said differently:
successful companies
No-one cares if they have a successful development process or not. What counts is if they have a successful business. And Microsoft, IBM, Google and the like are successful business wise... no matter what internal works or not
I think the model-driven approach will start to really grow when a company will be successful thanks to it! when businesses will really get better ROI thanks to adopting a model-driven approach. And... when the reason of this success will be made public..
I think it is very difficult to make MDA succeed on the following grounds (but not limited to):
1. One can not model all busines processes i.e. all very low level business processes from where one can generate the code. It is also one more fact that Modeling using a Designer tool eats lots of time. In general the teams would do high level model and get onto coding. so, modeling everything would be inefficient. If everything is not modeled, generating a complete working application is close to impossible. If everything is modeled, managing that model would be too cumbersome. hence there is always a trade-off in modeling. This limits the level of code generated also.
2. Once the code / application is generated, it needs to undergo lots of changes for making it production ready i.e. with all the necessary business / functional / technical validations / rules. Not all generated code can be deployed in production immediately. I don't think that these can be generated by any tool, when they are not modeled. Could you please let me know if there are any tools that could generate the above code?
3. In general, the mostly used CRUD operations on a data model can only be generated fully or closer to 100%. Other components of the application source (such as Service Layer components, Presentation layer components, other reusable components) can not be generated fully or the % generation is very less.
4. The Software Industry is moving from Custom Developed applications to Packaged Applications (such as SAP, Siebel, etc.) to SaaS based Cloud-ed applications. With this, the need for Generated Applications is coming down. In fact the need for applications developed from scratch is growing down with the growth in packaged products. One more point is, the need for coding has significantly come down. This also impacts the success of MDA.
I think the large players would have tried it internally, encountered these issues (probably would have got more issues than mentioned above) and left it.
Hi Velmurugan,
Thanks for your feedback!
Here are my answers/questions:
1- Yes modeling using a designer can eat a lot of time and be ineficient. This is why to be successfull, a model-driven approach and tool MUST innovate in how to create a designer that's really helpfull and faster that directly coding
And I agree that for real-life, enterprise applications, it is hard/impossible to generate 100% of the code. Therefore to be successful, a model-driven tool must take into account the integration between a model, and hand-written code, in a smooth way, with auto-sync in both direction.
2- Yes, after modeling and generation of first version of an app, you need before going to production to be able to enrich/complete the application with complex, business rule, configuration settings for proper integration to the infrastructure, code for accessing external data etc. So a successful model-driven tool should allow this.
3- I don't fully agree with this part. There are tools that can automate close to 100% of all code including service layer and presentation components (FENOMEN is one of these tools). And same than above: the tool must then allow the addition of custom code in a smooth way.
4- I aggree with this point. However packaged applications like SAP for instance still require a high expertise level for concrete integration in a customer company. Deployment of such packaged solution and customization cost is high. I still think there is a space and business for a business oriented model-driven approach between custom dev on one side, and packaged solutions on the other. And even further: I think these companies like SAP would gain a lot in moving their packaged solution toward a model-driven approach, allowing an easier customization of their solution using a model-driven approach! However: huge code base to change + many developers to train..
Ok I get your point about why Big players might have tried it / left it. But could it be that they tried to early? I think the maturation of technologies and best practices for a successfull model driven approach is quite new...
Any comments on my answers?
One can not model all busines processes i.e. all very low level business processes from where one can generate the code.
I'd say if you can't do that, MDD is not worthwhile. Heck, I'd say it is not even MDD. If important things like business logic behaviour can't go in your models, how are models driving your development?
It is also one more fact that Modeling using a Designer tool eats lots of time.
Maybe do not use a graphical designer, but a textual notation? Graphical notations don't scale to detailed specifications, so you are going to have to use text for that aspect anyways.
Once the code / application is generated, it needs to undergo lots of changes for making it production ready i.e. with all the necessary business / functional / technical validations / rules.
Don't do that. Either model or code, don't do both. That kind of approach is what makes MDD look bad.
Could you please let me know if there are any tools that could generate the above code?
Look for executable UML tools. Check out Metacase MetaEdit+ for a DSM approach. Or check out this comment I made on another thread.
One more point is, the need for coding has significantly come down. This also impacts the success of MDA.
That is possibly true. I wrote elsewhere that RAD tools take some of the productivity edge promised by MDD away. There are still other areas MDD shines (separation of dev. time concerns from runtime concerns, targetting multiple target platforms, obsolescence-proof solutions).
If the idea is to use appropriate DSL for defining all aspects of a given application, then one should chose the best fit for every concern , and for writing some business rules, it can be that actual code is the proper DSL and best fit for the purpose!
I don't see a problem to use a mix of graphical/textual DSLs AND code. And code can somehow then be seen as a proper DSL, it is all a matter of levels of abstraction and the need for them. Idea being to be pragmatic and use what makes more sense/is more efficient for every case. Makes senses?
And yes the challenge then becomes: how to properly and smoothly mix all these approaches and languages?
To Velmurugan: agree with #4. It has become common for large shops to delegate its applications definition and development to external and well known software providers, shortening its work to configurate and customize large and generic packages. In this way, it seems that "commoditizing" software has become a real option for shops whose business is not software production. Personally, I can´t belive that those elephantic software packages actually be a solution, and a return to custom development will happen, and MDD will get its place.
I think big players as well as customers as well as many more people can't see the benefits of MDx. And they're just right: the user sums up:
+ gain by speeding through automated generation
- effort to maintain tools and model
- effort to manually do the afterwork the generator could not do
Most often, this calculation is simply negative. Why are small and brave companies still fighting for MDx? Why do they do it for twenty years now? (1990 CASE, 2000 MDA, with ups and downs inbetween)
Because all brave developers know that it is just the RIGHT thing to do, no matter how long it takes. Today it looks something like this:
- generation of BL: 90-100%
- generation of DB: 70-90% (improved with ORMs lately)
- generaion of UI: 10-30% (CRUD at most)
- handling of transformation process: very complex, project-within-project-scenarios
- handling of model extensions (additional properties for complete app): very complex
- standardisation of model extensions: at present next to none
- integration of process/workflow (BPM): at present next to none
It might be a workaround to use tools to improve the manual afterwork, but that's not the solution of the problem, it just eases the pain a bit. There's no other way than to solve all of these issues.
I'm sure that more or less conscious we all know that named state of he art, to such an extent, that it's hard to convince people of progress anymore, specifically customers with bad experiences with CG in the past. But even here in the MDSD network: when I joined this community a while ago I posted a description of our own efforts in this field ( http://www.modeldrivensoftware.net/forum/topics/introducing-emos ). I must say I was rather disappointed by the low resonance, it should give quite some material for long discussions. At least it might explain the behaviour of the large companies a little. If even WE here seem to have lost all enthusiasm.... ;-)
I would agree with the % of Generation in layers like DB, UI, etc.
I could not agree for BL. BL contains all the Business Rules / Logics which is very difficult for one to model which can be used to generate the code, unless you write a flow chart or activity diagrams and then use the MDx to generate code based on that. However, how many projects really develop Flow Charts or Activity Diagrams? We will limit modeling to a level that depicts the business better yet manageable. So, this level would not help in generation of teh code that can be deployed in production immediately (of course after testing).
If you could help me in achieving 90-100% BL Code generation, that would be really great. Looking forward to your response earnestly.
in case of teh other areas, i am sure we can achieve anywhere between 10-20% if we understand the underlying coding pattern and model that. however, it would be too far away from the developers thoughts.
The critical aspect of MDD is that, it is a paradigm shift in Sw development and needs people to wear a different hat while architecting / designing / programming and while even testing.
Not sure achieving this paradigm shift is going to be really possible. Can you share your thoughts in achieving this? Is there any means of Marking MDx properly?

A great deal of recent Antarctic research has examined the effects of global warming on the southern most continent's ecological systems. Previously we've noted stories about changes to mosses, and the invasion of King crabs. Most recently though, scientists out of the University of Delaware have been looking at the adaptive nature of the Capitella perarmata, also known as the polar worm.
Since August, the Delaware team undertook a series of dives into the waters near the McMurdo station to collect the polychaet polar worms. For two months, divers to collect sediment samples and then sieved out the worms.
Scientists have been comparing the temperature-adaptive nature of the Capitella perarmata, with that of the Capitella teleta, the polar worm's temperate counterpart. By comparing these two species, scientists hope to gain a better understanding for how a changing polar environment may trigger a genetic response. This in turn should give insight into the greater impact of climate change on polar ecosystems, and a greater understanding of how Antarctic animals are able to adapt to changing temperatures.

Sometimes over here at Matador HQ we like to try wacky shit like making videos featuring famous funny guys or buying a single Soda Stream for 15 people to use and then wonder why it runs out of gas after a day and a half.
But this time we're doing something a little more simple and a lot more awesome.
As you already know, Girls are playing Terminal 5 on Saturday January 14. As you probably know, tickets are disappearing faster than (insert Kardashian wedding joke here). So just for you, NYC, we've teamed up with some of the best independent records stores in the Big Apple to offer a FREE TICKET when you purchase a copy of Father, Son, Holy Ghost (while supplies last, of course).
Simple as that. Buy the new album at regular price, get a free ticket to the show at Terminal 5.
Visit Other Music, Generation Records, Sound Fix, Permanent Records or Academy Annex NOW because they've each only got a handful of tickets. Do it. DO IT. See you at the show.

This was not practiced. This was not rehearsed. This just might be the best pit entry of all time.
Here's the caption to this Brazilian video from two years ago to the day.
Drifter Tiago Romano at the entrance of the pits at the track ECPA in Piracicaba / SP. This scene was recorded when the driver returns to the pits at the end of his training on track. There was no testing or preparation for this moment. The front bumper crashed during training at the track after hitting the zebra lane.
Well done, man. Anyone seen any better pit entry than this?

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Learning By Littles
"The aggregate (combined total) of all his schooling did not amount to one year. He was never in a college or academy as a student…. What he has in the way of education, he has picked up. After he was twenty-three, and he had separated from his father, he studied English grammar--imperfectly of course, but so as to speak and write as well as he now does…. He regrets his want of education and does what he can to supply the want." So wrote Abraham Lincoln on the subject of his education in a June 1860 autobiographical sketch. (1)
It was an education acquired, as he put it, "by littles." Opportunities for attending school were scarce on the frontier of the early 19th century, since few people were educated enough to teach. Education was, however, something that Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln wanted for their children, so when it was possible; they sent Abraham and Sarah to attend whatever school was available. As a result, Abraham studied under five different schoolmasters during his childhood in Kentucky and Indiana. Each of these sessions lasted approximately two months and spelling, reading, writing, and ciphering (method of computing math) to the Rule of Three were taught.
In Kentucky, Abraham learned the alphabet and education basics from Zachariah Riney. Samples of Riney's handwriting indicate that he was able and qualified to teach the three R's (reading, writing, and arithmetic). Neighbor and friend Caleb Hazel was Lincoln's second schoolmaster. Evidence indicates that he was trained and a good teacher of English grammar. Hazel possessed many fine books and his teaching contributed much to the education of young Abraham.
In Indiana, where schools were attended chiefly in the winter when the outdoor work was less pressing, Lincoln attended terms of school when he was 11, 14, and 17 years old. In his 11th year, he studied under Andrew Crawford, a stern, yet capable, teacher. Crawford loaned Abraham a copy of Weems' Life of Washington, a book that profoundly influenced the young student by impressing upon him the sacrifices that the early patriots had made to create the United States. During his 14th year, Abraham very briefly attended the school taught by James Swaney. Later, at the age of seventeen, Lincoln attended a school taught by Azel W. Dorsey. Dorsey was the best educated of his Indiana teachers and probably was responsible for helping him acquire his excellent grasp of mathematics.
Referring to his educational opportunities in Indiana, Abraham stated, "There were schools, so called, but little qualification was ever required of a teacher…. If a straggler (stranger) supposed to understand Latin, happened to so-journ (stopover) in the neighborhood, he was looked upon as a wizard. There was absolutely nothing to excite ambition for education. Of course when I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher to the Rule of Three…." (2)
According to a childhood friend, Abraham Lincoln used "Pike's Arithmetic," which was the short name for Nicholas Pike's New and Complete System of Arithmetic. While studying the book, Abraham learned simple addition, compound subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, coins, weights and measures. One of the things Pike taught in his book was the "Rule of Three," which stated that if three numbers were known, the fourth could be computed by looking at the proportion between the first and second. According to the rule, the proportion between the third and fourth numbers would be the same. (3)
Questions for Reading 2
1. How did Abraham's educational opportunities compare to yours today? Who played a key role in helping him to take advantage of the opportunities he had?
2. What were the principal subjects he learned during his schooling? How do you think he used this knowledge later in his life?
3. Who were his teachers? What training did they have? How did each of them affect his education?
4. Why did Abraham say his education was acquired by "littles?"
5. What do you think was Abraham's attitude toward education? Do you think you will have the same attitude about education when you are an adult as you do now?
Reading 2 was adapted from The Lincoln Notebook, prepared by the staff of Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial.

Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare, Volumes 1-2
Avenel Books, 1978 - Reference - 1513 pages
Shakespeare's genius is marked by his rare ability to appeal to theatergoers of all types and all levels of education. But for most modern folks, the Greek and Roman mythology and history, let alone the history of England and the geography of sixteenth-century Europe that his works are laden with, are hardly within our grasp. Isaac Asimov comes to making obscure issues clear to the layperson, selects key passages from 38 of the great bard's plays plus two of his narrative poems and, with the help of beautifully rendered maps an figures, illuminates us about their historical and mythological background.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 141 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
Brockton Rox
The Brockton Rox are a minor-league baseball club in Brockton, Mass.
Entering our tenth season, the club has attracted over 1.3 million fans to Campanelli Stadium in its history. The 2003 league champions, the Rox are known throughout Southeastern Massachusetts for exciting professional baseball, quality family entertainment, and excellent relationships with our business partners.
Brockton is a city of 90,000 located 20 miles south of Boston. The name "Rox" was chosen as the city is the birthplace of famous boxer Rocky Marciano, as well as its similarity to the area's "other" baseball club, the Red Sox.
The current Rox logo is unattractive, unexciting and not kid-friendly. Our brand desperately needs an update.
Families are the most important market for the team, but the club also has a good number of hard-core baseball fans.
We need:
-a main logo
-a cap logo (usually similar in spirit to the main logo, but less detailed)
-home and road uniform scripts
-tenth anniversary logo.
In the attachment, you can see examples of each of the guidelines below:
1. Remember that the logo will often be small and embroidered - nothing too detailed. (A good way to think of it is, a fourth-grader should able to draw the logo in his school notebook.)
2. It should be fun and kid-friendly...but not to the exclusion of everyone else. Don't go overboard on the cuteness.
3. Don't get too conceptual. If it takes more than a sentence to describe what's going on, or if the connection between the team name and the logo is too vague, try something else.
4. Don't be too baseball generic. You shouldn't be able to replace the word "Rox" or "Brockton" with "Tigers," "Giants" or anything else and have the logo still make sense. What's unique to Brockton and the Rox?
5. At the same time, keep in mind some of the elements that baseball logos and uniforms traditionally have.
6. We're not selling insurance - don't be too corporate. Again, make it fun...something that would look good on a t-shirt!
7. As far as colors go, we're leaning towards black, forest green and silver, but you're welcome to experiment with other colors.

A theory (That makes some sense): Randall doesn't do his work in png file format. So, ahead of the reveal, he converts a group of files to png, and shifts them to the server. He might be slightly ahead. He might have finished all of Time. Sometimes he finds something to change, and a few files are moved over again with new dates. Addendum: The hash is the hash of the image.
The other theory (That I like better): This is all planned out to make us wonder. The hash is solvable, and the prize is All of Time!!!

Demián Bichir Biography
Demián Bichir is the Mexican actor who was nominated for an Oscar for his performance as an illegal immigrant gardener in the 2011 film A Better Life. Demián Bichir was born in Mexico City to theatrically-minded parents — his mother was an actress, his father a director. He began acting in the Mexican TV show Rina as a teen, and at age 22 he moved to New York City and then on to Los Angeles to try his acting luck. Having little success, he returned to Mexico, where he found great success as a star of the 1994 crime film Hasta Morir ("'Til Death"), winning a coveted Silver Ariel (the Mexican equivalent of the Oscar) as best actor. Sturdy, quiet, and darkly handsome, he spent the next decade as a movie star in Mexico, most notably starring as a seductive wanderer in Sexo, pudor y lágrimas ("Sex, Shame and Tears"), a hit film that broke Mexican box-office records. Then he returned again to the United States, where Steven Soderbergh cast him as Fidel Castro in the 2008 film Che (with Benicio del Toro as revolutionary leader Che Guevara). Bichir gained more fame on the cable TV show Weeds, playing the powerful drug-running mayor of Tijuana. He then won great reviews — and an Oscar nomination — for the 2011 film A Better Life, in which he played a Mexican gardener in East Los Angeles, watching out for his American-born son.
Extra credit
He pronounces his name "bih-CHEER"… A 2011 profile in The New York Times reported that Demián Bichir "did become a father in May [2011]; the child is the product of a brief — 'and beautiful, please, beautiful, beautiful' — romance in Spain last year." The article noted that "Bichir attended the baby's birth, and she has his surname." The Hollywood Reporter stated in 2012 that the daughter's name is Gala… Demián Bichir's brothers, Bruno Bichir and Odiseo Bichir, are well-known actors in Mexico.

The lemon and the tahini dressing, slightly sweetened by some high quality honey, comes together in minutes, and pairs oh so well with the earthy beets and luscious greens. If possible, buy some beets with some healthy rich green leaves to use in the salad base. Any combination of greens can be used. Consider a mixture of baby spinach, beet greens, mustard greens and dandelion.
Haloumi is a salty Greek cheese, usually made of goat and sheep milk. It has a high melting point, and holds together well when fried or grilled. It freezes well, so I suggest having a block on hand at all times because you just never know when the craving will hit.
Haloumi, Beetroot and Greens Dressed with Tahini and LemonYou might also enjoy:
4 medium beets, left whole and unpeeled
250 grams of haloumi cheese, cut into 1/4 slices
2 tablespoons of olive oil
4 - 6 cups of mixed greens
1 carrot, shredded
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
freshly cracked black pepper
For the Dressing:
1 tablespoon of tahini
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of honey
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Begin by cooking the beetroot. I roasted them. Simply wrap in foil and roast in a preheated 375 degree oven for about an hour or until the beets are tender. When the beets are cool enough to handle, remove the skins and cut into smallish wedges.
To make the dressing, whisk together the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, honey and salt and pepper. Add a bit of water to thin the dressing if desired.
Heat a large frying pan over just higher than medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Arrange the halloumi slices in the pan, trying to avoid touching, and fry until browned on the bottom. Use tongs to turn the cheese over and fry the other side until browned. While still in the pan, drizzle the lemon juice over the cheese, and finish with a good seasoning of fresh ground black pepper.
To serve, arrange some mixed greens on a plate, top with some shredded carrots, some beet wedges and a slice or two of the fried haloumi. Drizzle with some of the dressing.

Firefighters have built containment lines around 78 percent of the four-day-old Colby Fire burning in the foothills above Azusa and Glendora, authorities announced Sunday.
Officials also updated the damage toll. One home that was previously listed as damaged was reclassified as destroyed, according to U.S. Forest Service officials. The fire has destroyed six homes and 10 outbuildings, as well as damaged five other homes and one additional outbuilding.
Four people — two firefighters and two civilians — have suffered minor injuries from the fire since it first broke out about 6 a.m. Thursday near the Colby Trail just north of Glendora.
The wildfire did not grow overnight, remaining at just more than 1,900 acres in size, officials said.
And although the thick smoke that blanketed the region Thursday is gone, firefighters remained hard at work in the steep hillsides toward their goal of 100 percent containment by Wednesday morning, Angeles National Forest spokeswoman L'Tanga Watson said.
"We're trying to build two miles of line around it today," she said.
Additionally, firefighters continued "cleaning out the interior of the fire," Watson said, burning off unburned vegetation within the fire perimeter in a controlled manner.
Forty-five firefighter hand crews, 100 fire engines, three helicopters, eight fixed-wing aircraft, and five bulldozers remained assigned to the fire Sunday, officials said.
Also Sunday, a white numeral "1" appeared on the hillside over the spot where a large letter "A" that has been in place for years — symbolizing Azusa — was scorched by the fire.
It was not clear who placed the number there, or why.
San Gabriel Canyon Road remained closed to the public, accessible only to local residents.
