Heating Plant
The installation of a new heat-ing
system for the campus, in-cluding
the building of a new
boiler room, was recently approv-ed
by the school board.
Work will be started this year
on the boiler room, which will be
built on or near the site of the
present heating plant. However,
according to Harold Lidibom, busi-ness
manager, it is not expected
to be completed by next fall with
the dormitory additions. Plans for
the building include a shop and
storeroom on the second floor.
The new boilers are designed
for a heating system adequate for
a campus twice the size of the
present one. The main boiler now
being used dates back to 1924—
the stand-by to 1905.
The central heating plant serv-ices
all the buildings on campus
with the exception of Bodien resi-dence.
Plans are now being made
for conversion from oil to gas
heating in that dormitory.
LEAN RIGHT! Jack Tierney brings a toboggan-load of upperclassmen
down the run. In spite of falling snow about 20 students left Saturday
morning for the upperclass outing at Snail Lake camp. The day of
out- and indoor activities, including toboganning, skating and hockey,
ping pong, and listening to hi-fi records ended with an evening pro-gram,
which included a monologue by Dr. Paul Grabill.
Founders Week

Mystery Surrounds
Valentine Formal
With the curtain going up at 8
o'clock, great mystery surrounds
the Valentine Variety semi-formal

Feb. 8, in the banquet roam of the

The only information that has
been disclosed by a social council
representative is that the program
will include music . . . "from
Chopin to Rogers and Hammer-stein,"
drama, ". . . a little bit of
Shakespeare," and humor. "Just
about anything might happen,"
says Jack Tierney, social council
chairman. Refreshments, which are
also included, will be served im-
Several amendments to the con-stitution
of the Bethel Student
association will be presented to
the Student Senate Thursday, Feb-ruary
7, by the constitution re-vision
These amendments, which will
"bring the obsolete constitution up
to date" according to President
Glenn Ogren, will reduce the size
of the Senate from 17 to 14 mem-bers.
If the amendments are ratified
by a two-thirds vote of the Sen-ate,
they will be presented to the
student association (entire student
body) probably during the latter
part of February. A two-thirds
vote of the student association is
necessary for the amendments to
be adopted.
Under the revisions the finan-cial
secretary will be an appointee
to the religious council of being
an elected member of the Student
Senate. This change is being made
because the only duty of the finan-cial
secretary has been the collec-tion
and disbursement of student
Because of an overlap in class
representatives, the presidents of
the dormitory councils will also be
removed from the Student Senate.
However, the NSA coordinator
will be added as a member of the
Senate. For the past three years
the NSA coordinator has partici-pated
in the meetings but not as a
constitutional member of the Sen-ate.
The adoption of by-laws by a
two-thirds vote of the Senate in-stead
of a majority vote of the stu-dent
association will be proposed

A program of this type has been
sponsored by the social council for
the past two years. Committees
for this year's program include
decorations, Barbara Hartman and
Carol Martinson; tickets and re-freshments,
Lynn Weaver and
Richard Swanson; and publicity,
Carolyn Henkel.
The social council wishes to
stress the fact that no corsages
will be allowed. This measure is
being instituted to help eliminate

as a revision to the by-laws. Presi-dent
Ogren said that this change
is being made because the by-laws
are rules of regulation of the Sen-ate
and councils — they do not
regulate the student association.
On record, the last revision of
the constitution was made in 1953.
For three years the present revis-ions
have been formulated.
The constitution revision com-mittee
consists of Glenn Ogren,
president of the Student Senate;
Robert Erickson, seminary coun-cil
representative; John Berg, sen-ior
class president; Gordon Mc-
Rostie, junior class president; Art
Erickson, sophomore class presi-dent;
and Dennis Johnson, fresh-man
class president.
Debaters Attend
Fargo Tournament
Lois Larson, Lynn Weaver,
Karen Christensen, and Sharon
Bergstrom will be traveling by
train to Fargo, No. Dak., Thurs-day
night, as Bethel's debate rep-resentatives
at the Red River Val-ley
Invitational, a major tourna-ment
of the season.
The girls will participate in six
rounds of debate before returning
Saturday afternoon.
Entered in the tournament are
colleges and universities from the
five-state area: Minnesota, Wis-consin,
South Dakota, North Da-kota,
and Iowa.
Coach Lee Kingsley will act as
one of the judges at the meet.
The next major tournament for
the debate team is scheduled for
Feb. 15 and 16, at Eau Claire, Wis-consin.
Attendance at Founders Week
beginning Monday is expected to
equal last year's registration of
637, representing 25 states and
nine denominations. Widely trav-elled
and experienced speakers will
highlight the week's meetings.

Former Dean
Speaks Here
by Terry Benz
One of the speakers during
Founders Week this year will be
C. E. Carlson, an oft heard name
to many students and faculty mem-bers
at Bethel.
Dr. Carlson spent twenty-seven
years at Bethel, as teacher of var-ious
subjects, chairman of the his-tory
department and, during the
latter years, dean of the college.
Dr. Carlson was dean in 1946 when
Bethel changed from a junior col-lege
to a senior college and it was
under his leadership that the pro-gram
was set up which exists at
While an instructor at Bethel,
Dr. Carlson so sought to interest
his students in public life that
when he was offered his present
position, he felt it a challenge he
had to accept. Therefore, in 1953,
he left Bethel and became execu-tive
secretary of the Baptist Joint
committee on Social Affairs in
Washington, D.C.
During Founders Week, Dr.
Carlson will be bringing reports
of his observations in Washington
and will discuss what he feels
Christians should be concerned
with in public affairs.
Choir To Give
Three Concerts
Bethel college choir will present
two pre-tour concerts. The first
will be at Powderhorn Park Bap-tist
church on Feb. 17 at 3 p.m.
where they will be participating
in the dedication service.
On Feb. 24 the choir will sing
at Temple Baptist church at 7 p.m.
They will also be singing in
chapel on Feb. 22.

Founder's Week, Feb. 11-15. Major
meetings of the week will explore
the relationship between a commit-ment
to Jesus Christ and the ex-periences
of daily life.
Rev. Eugene Nida, Ph.D., who
will be speaking Tuesday and
Wednesday, is one of America's
foremost linguists. Under the
American Bible society he has
travelled to more than 50 countries
to work with translators on lin-guistic
problems of over 150 dif-ferent
languages. He has also
written several books.
The banquet speaker, Dr. Theo-dore
Anderson, is president of the
Evangelical Mission Covenant
church of America. He has visited
Europe, Africa, South America,
Japan, Alaska, Canada, and other
parts of the world.
Dr. Merrill C. Tenney, profes-sor
of Bible and theology and
dean of the graduate school at
Wheaton college, has written sev-eral
books dealing with the New
Testament. He will speak each
morning from nine to ten.
Other speakers will be C. E.
Carlson, executive secretary of the
Baptist Joint Committee on Pub-lic
Affairs in Washington and for-mer
dean of Bethel college, and
Rev. Roger Fredrickson, pastor of
the First Baptist church in Ot-towa,
Kansas, and president of

First Deadline
Met By Spire
The Spire met their first dead-line
on Jan. 26 when the first two
sections of the book were sent to
the printer.
"Our main problem," says Viv-ian
Johnson, co-editor of the Spire,
"is getting pictures. This is espec-ially
so in getting them from the
seminary. We make every effort;
yet less than half have had pic-tures
taken, which is a very poor
representation. We don't know
what the trouble is—maybe just a
lack of interest."
Positions on the Spire staff are
open to anyone interested in work-ing
on it. Any suggestions stu-dents
would care to make will be
considered by the editors.
Final copy of the yearbook will
go to press on March 15, and dis-tribution
of the SPIRE will be in
the latter part of May.

the CLARION
Tuesday, February 5, 1957
•Cultural Council Praised
Dear Editor:
Students often remark that at
Bethel we are sheltered from the
world and, consequently, become
complacent in our particular way
of life. The Cultural council has
brought us a program by which we
can look through a window at the
people "in the world."
We were shocked, for example,
by what we saw in "All the King's
Men", and many complained. Ap-parently,
they failed to see the
significance of the film. It was
meant to be shocking. Yet we
know that this is the way of life
for many people.
Drinking, crime, and violence
grow out of the evil of men's
To Go Or Not To Go
That's Not The Question
If the CLARION were to ask each student on campus, "Do you
think it is wrong to go to movies?" no doubt the answers would vary
from a positive "yes!" to an equally definite "no!" And the reasons
would vary just as significantly.
The CLARION editorial staff certainly does not wish to take a
stand on the ultimate answer to this question, since it is a matter for
each individual to decide for himself. But we would like to point out
a few false generalizations which often govern our decisions on this
and similar questions.
First of all we (put us on the top of the list) evaluate without any
actual knowledge of the subject. We would not be apt to accept the
judgment of a person on a book if he had never read it. We hope we
would not accept the judgment of a man who had never fished when
we buy our tackle. But we accept our own evaluations which are based
on similar grounds. Many who have never seen a Hollywood movie
insist such films are bad. To move into a less controversial field, most
of us prejudged "Macbeth" before we read it in high school, and who
of us was (or is) not a little dubious about going to a "long haired"
up-era for the first time?
Another easy way for us to evaluate falsely is to categorize general
areas as good or bad. In some areas we have got beyond this point;
we don't say all books are bad because one is. But we tend to think
that because one Irishman is hot tempered, they all are. We tend to
think that because one Broadway production is bad they all are. It is as
absurd to say that all movies or Broadway productions or all books
are bad as it is to say that all preachers (even in other conferences)
are great.
We probably will never succeed in eliminating these faults entirely
from the CLARION or from ourselves. But when we know we have
the weakness, we are better off than before.
Make Us Into Students
by Astrid Barbins
What is wrong with our educational system? Too often we are
lingering in the halls bored or nervous. Before exams, we are scared
that the facts catalogued the night before will escape; after tests, we
are even more worried because we had not studied the right things. We
cram list after list of names and numbers, but they are only labels
that are copied out of books—they are dead and dull and soon forgotten.
I don't mean that we should discard important facts, since they
are a basis for broader knowledge, but I do think that instructors
should take more time to teach us principles and ideas that are in-corporated
in these facts in such a way that they would make sense.
Instead of telling us names which we like copycats repeat, we should
be given ideas to cope with. If this were true, perhaps more people
would turn from pupils into independent, self-propelled students who
desire to plunge into the deep seas of knowledge. There is so much
hidden in the depth—why should we be satisfied with the scum on the
Then there are educators who with their understanding, love, and
patience have showed us a way to a more adventurous and exciting
life, lifting us when we have been tempted to stop the pursuit. We like
to be in their presence because they add something to our lives that
soon becomes a part of us.
"Eyes rekindling, and prayers
Follow your steps as you go.
Ye fill up the gaps in our files,
Strengthen the wavering line,
Stablish, continue our march,
ON to the bound of the waste,
On, to the City of God."
Knowing Good and Evil
The following article appeared as a meditation in the Nov. 30
issue of the "Gustavian Weekly."
What should man be allowed to read ? What should man be allowed
to write? The spiritual and temporal authorities have been concerned
with these two questions down through the ages.
Perhaps then, this faction on our campus that rears its head and
cries, "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity," has a basis for its complaint. Con-sider,
this faction would say, these fools, who not only go to school
to learn but also make use of their knowledge! Do they not know that
people cannot study Socrates without that inevitable question: "Was
Socrates a Christian?" And if he is found lacking, of course he has
nothing for them.
Portions of Chaucer are "replete with vulgarity." Should these
pure youth be subjected to the ways of the world, torn from their
cloister, forcibly evicted from their ivory tower?
We should be thankful for this faction. They have been subjected
to this process called education and have triumphed! Nothing has rubbed
A sober second thought, however, might lead us to ask: How strong
is their God? Is theirs a living and growing faith?
John Milton, in his plea for the liberty of printing, quotes Paul
as saying: "Read any books whatever come to the hands, for thou are
sufficient both to judge a right and to examine each matter."
Milton asserts that through the eating of the forbidden fruit, man
gained a knowledge of good and evil. "And perhaps this is that doom
which Adam fell into of knowing good and evil, that is to say of
knowing good by evil."
To the pure all things are pure.—Titus 1:15
From Sea To Seminary
One hundred and five years ago in Karlstad, Sweden, a ten-year-old
boy longed to leave his catechism and Latin and German grammars
and go off to sea. Sixteen years later he eagerly left his ship to go
back to school—this time to Princeton Seminary. That boy was John
Alexis Edgren, founder of Bethel.
Mr. Edgren's naval career from the day he embarked at the age
of 13 on the waiter-logged boat where he served as ship's cook until
the day he resigned from command of a Union ship at the end of the
Civil War reads like an adventure story. At Malta he was marooned
and robbed but later found another Swedish ship. At Alexandria he
was threatened with daggers by Egyptians who did not understand
the curiosity of a boy who tried to see behind a woman's veil. He was
rescued by an Arab, who not only spoke Swedish, but served him
coffee. Near Cape Horn the sails of his ship were blown to bits, yet
the crippled ship safely reached harbor.
Memories of early religious training, the reading of a tract, the
apparently co-incidental meeting of former Christian friends in New
York, and a service in the floating Bethel chapel in the East River
were significant factors in showing Alexis that God was persistently
following him. At 17 he stopped running away from Him and made
the promise which later caused him to leave the navy to preach the
gospel in Sweden and America. Sensing the need for a place for Scan-dinanvian
ministers to receive training he founded a seminary at the
University of Chicago. To that date in 1871 we trace the beginning of
Bethel. Mr. Edgren's studies at Princeton seminary, Colgate univer-sity
at Hamilton, New York, and the University of Chicago from which
he received his degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1883, as well as his
experience in teaching at Bethel Baptist seminary in Stockholm had
prepared him well for his career as an educator.
During his busy life as pastor and teacher Dr. Edgren. wrote 20
theological books besides publishing a monthly magazine for many
years. Among his literary contributions is also his translation of the
Swedish New Testament from the Greek which, though unfinished,
remains valuable to theologians. Since Dr. Edgren had learned 32 lan-guages,
he was uniquely fitted for this task.
The Edgren residence on campus reminds us of his contribution
to our school. In the library we have the books he wrote as well as his
biography. Perhaps more important legacies are his fundamental prin-ciples
which are emphasized here—the importance of Bible knowledge
and spiritual development. ,Still another facet of John Alexis Edgren's
influence is reflected in the friendly relationships between faculty and
student which we enjoy here at Bethel. If Dr. Edgren could visit us
today it is certain that he would enjoy the Coffee Shop.
Most girls would rather be beau-tiful
than brainy because most
men can see better than think.
hearts. We should be mature en-ough
to try to understand and to
help. Instead we fold our hands
and sing "Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly . . ."
When a doctor sees ill people, he
gives them medicine. It would be
cruel if he closed his eyes and
pretended they weren't there. Yet,
that is exactly what we do; is it
because our bags are empty and
we have no cure?
Bouquets to the cultural coun-cil
for helping us realize we are
not living only to have a good
time but to battle as strong and
equipped people.

Almost any night in the Bodien
residence a discussion starts rela-tive
to the merits of the dorm's
rules and restrictions concerning
the inmates. Well, girls, cheer up.
It can't last forever. Back in 1945
and '46, when the postwar influx
of students hit Bethel's campus,
there were some pretty tough
rules concerning the behavior of
the men . . . and they were sur-prisingly
similar to those the girls
have to bow down to now. Give a
listen . . .
1. Students, if leaving the cam-pus
for the weekend, must register
the time of leaving, the destina-tion
and the time of return.
2. It is expected that the dormi-tory
residents should be in at 11
p.m. on week nights and at 11:30
on Saturday and Sunday nights.
3. Dormitory doors will be lock-ed
at 11:00 p.m. en week nights
and at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday and
Sunday nights.
4. 12:30 midnight is the very
latest hour permitted and dormi-tory
residents are expected not to
exceed the limit of one late permit
weekly, including Sunday. (Excep-tions
to this ruling can be made
by student pastors in conference
with the supervisors.)

Westin's Bucket
Wins For Bethel
A fieldgoal by center Glen Wes-tin
with eight seconds to go gave
Bethel the margin of victory over
the Northwestern Eagles at North-western
Jan. 22. With two seconds
to go, Bethel tied up the ball to
assure them of the victory.
Bethel did not 'almost throw
the game away' even though they
held ten point leads several times,
and were comfortable ahead most
of the first half. They gained the
lead because of some torrid shoot-ing,
particularly by Pommerenke
who hit 70 per cent in the half.
Gunderson was hot for Northwest-ern
and kept the game from being
a runaway.
In the second half, Jim Martin,
who is deceptively fast, led the

tied the game up several times,
but never could take the lead.

their shooting game, but North-western,

kit. Teams Compete
For Annual Award
A yearly point system for in-tramural
sports has been arrang-ed.
Eight teams are competing for
the highest total pointage. Team
sports such as volleyball, basket-ball,
and softball can accumulate
ten points for the first place win-ner
and seven, five or three points
for second, third, and fourth place
winners. First, second, and third
place winners in individual sports
such as ping pong, badminton,
and handball (both singles and
doubles) can gain five, three, and
one points, respectively.
The team that will have accumu-lated
the greatest total pointage
at the end of the year will have
their name engraved on a trophy,
designating them as intramural
champions for the year. Each
member of the championship team
will receive a medal.
Bemidji Tips
Bethel 70-66
The Royals, in one of their bet-ter
games this year, dropped a
tough game to the Bemidji state
teachers' club 70-66, Friday Jan.
25, in the fieldhouse. Although
they never led, and were slow in
starting, they played very well
against a stronger team.
Bemidji's attack was spearhead-ed
by Seroon, Lawrence, and Don
Otness. But they also had strong
bench so they could substitute
with no great worry.
Pommerenke, Conrad, and Wes-tin
led the Royal's scoring with
21, 17, and 14 points respectively.
Although the guards did score very
well, the game pretty well proved
that the big boys under the boards
have to hit to win. But Bemidji's
defense was tough on the inside
and the ball couldn't be worked
in for the close shots.

ed home to a 90-62 victory last
Wednesday, on Bethel's home floor.
After taking the lead 8-6, in the
early minutes of the game, the
Royals scored 25 straight points,
and led 37-11 when the first string
left the game.
It was a dull contest except for
an occasional bit of humor which
the players supplied. Pautsch, who
was high point man for Luther,
improved his game with an occa-sional
hog call, which once seemed
to startle Rekstad quite a little.
Don Becker was high point man
on the floor with 15 points, while
Westin hit 11 and Bons and Pom-merenke
each scored 10.
In some respects it was a good
game since it gave Coach Peterson
a chance to use players that will
be figuring in next year's plans.
Thirteen Bethel men broke into
the scoring column, and the sec-ond
stringers scored more than
half the points.
Bethel's next home game is with
Northern Michigan tomorrow
night, and next Thursday after-noon,
Northwestern comes over to
try to even the annual inter-city

Ben-Dor Discusses Scrolls
The Dead Sea scrolls, 1000 years
older than previously existing
manuscripts, do not change Bible
ideas at all, Dr. Immanuel Ben-
Dor told a Bethel convocation au-dience
on Thursday.
Ben-Dor, deputy director of the
Department of Antiquities for the
state of Israel and visiting lectur-er
at Harvard University, said
that the 1947 find has turned out
to contain twelve complete books
and fragments of about 400. Per-haps
the most exciting part of the
treasure, the speaker felt, is a
complete text of the book of Isa-iah,
although parts of every Old
Testament book except Esther are
"Finding these scrolls is a mod-ern-
day miracle," was Ben-Dor's
preface to his description of the
In addition to the Old Testa-ment
portions, the writings in-clude,
he said, commentaries,
works of which only translations
have been known previously, and
some new works. Among the lat-ter
he spoke especially of the
"Manual of Discipline" used by the
Essenes, a pre-Christitan group
with many customs similar to
those of John the Baptist's and
Christ's followers.
"These Essenes," he told the
audience, "gave up their personal
property and went into the wilder-ness
to prepare for the coming of
the Messiah." Apparently to save
their precious manuscripts, arch-eologists
have concluded, they hid
the scrolls in clay jars in almost
inaccessible caves.
Ben-Dor explained that the date
of the manuscripts was determined
by coins found in the elaborate
hide-out apparently used by the
Essenes about the time of the fall
of Jerusalem. The early date-69
A.D.—accounts, the speaker rea-soned,
for the fact that there is
no reference to Christianity in
the writings.
Concluding the comments on his
slides of the discovery, Ben-Dor
commended the cooperation of
scholars of several faiths and
countries in the work of interpret-ing
the manuscripts. He expressed,
in the words of one of the new-found
Pslams, a hope for a world
in which there are no "nations who
hate justice."

Conservative Media Shout "Class Warfare" To Defend Tax Breaks On Corporate Jets
Research ››› ››› ZACHARY PLEAT
The right-wing media responded with outrage after President Obama called on Congress to eliminate tax breaks on corporate jets in order to help stave off a default crisis -- accusing Obama of waging "class warfare."
"Class Warfare": Right-Wing Media Figures Object To Rolling Back Tax Breaks For Corporate Jets
Fox's Bolling: Focusing On Corporate Tax Breaks Was "Not Fair" And "Was A Class Warfare." Commenting on Obama's press conference, Fox Business host Eric Bolling said that Obama "talked yesterday about corporate jets, hedge fund managers, oil companies, saying if they're not willing to give up their corporate jets than poor community college kids weren't going to be able to go to school, and God forbid we don't have a National Weather Service. That's not fair." Bolling further said, "It was a class warfare he set up, and it was completely off base. If we really just bring some entitlement spending in line and you can fix it." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 6/30/11]
Dobbs: Obama's Speech Was "Straightforward Class Warfare." On his Fox Business show, Lou Dobbs said, "Did you hear the president today talking about millionaires, billionaires, and corporate jets? I mean, that's straightforward class warfare." [Fox Business, Lou Dobbs Tonight, 6/29/11]
Limbaugh: "Obama Once Again Cranking Up The Class Warfare." Playing a clip of President Obama's press conference, Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show:
LIMBAUGH: Here is Obama with corporate jet owners in the crosshairs again -- and remember, now, it was just last week, the USA Today ran a story about how the corporate jets were starting to fly again, corporate jet owners were utilizing the aircraft. It was a sign! USA Today so happy! It was a sign of economic recovery. Today in his press conference, Obama once again cranking up the class warfare.
RUSH: This is just -- dangerous is what this is. This is full-fledged demagoguery, and we're listening to this from the chief architect of the destruction of this economy. And once again, pitting groups of Americans against each other. One group -- his aim is for one group of Americans to hate and despise another group. What? What are you - well, that's what he's banking on: he's banking on that most Americans will agree with him because this is fair, and to a certain extent there's some Americans who will agree with it. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 6/29/11]
Beck: Obama "Launched An Unprecedented Class Warfare" On The "Private Jet Class." On his radio program, Glenn Beck accused Obama of singling out "the private jet class." Beck said:
Once again, yesterday, Barack Obama showed his sheer, unadulterated disgust for the wealthy, the successful, and anyone who's ever tried to do anything with their life here in America. He disparages them. Big business he disparages, of all kinds, every chance he gets. He has launched an unprecedented class warfare in this country, and the media remains silent. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Glenn Beck Program, 6/30/11]
Drudge: "Obama Launches Class Warfare." The Drudge Report displayed the following headline in a link to a National Journal story about Obama's press conference:
[Drudge Report, 6/30/11, cached version]
RedState: Obama Went "Straight For The Class Warfare Jugular." From a post to the conservative blog RedState:
Barack Obama has once more taken a major crisis and turned into a campaign prop. The entire debate on the debt ceiling is one big false choice now. We can have a $25Tr national debt in 10 years and feed the children, or all we really care about is rich people with private jets. And let me be clear, we're talking rich, corporate people with private jets. Like Al Gore for example.
Leave it to a liberal to go straight for the class warfare jugular when they have no valid point whatsoever. [RedState, 6/29/11]

Jennifer Lopez Headed to Fox (Again) With 'Q'Viva! The Chosen'
Jennifer Lopez is going to dominate FOX this year. The pop star and her ex, Marc Anthony, will premiere their new reality competition series, 'Q'Viva! The Chosen,' on the network next month.
As fans already know, J.Lo is also a judge on FOX's 'American Idol,' so viewers will be seeing plenty of the singer in 2012. The series originally debuted on Univision on Jan. 28.
"'Q'Viva' is a passion project on so many levels," Lopez said in a statement. "It's really our dream to see it come together. This is about creating a live visual experience about Latin culture, rhythm and dance. I believe that people will be so enlightened, so enriched by this experience."
The show follows the former power couple and superstar tour manager Jamie King as they find aspiring stars from "places people wouldn't normally look, where all of this rich talent lives and wouldn't normally be discovered," Lopez told People last year. She added, "It's probably going to be the biggest thing I've been involved in yet."
Ready to see a whole lot of Jenny from the Block? 'Q'Viva! The Chosen' will premiere on FOX on Saturday, March 3, at 8PM EST. It will air as two-hour episodes for five weeks until the season finale on April 7.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Brandeis University women's basketball team dropped its second-straight University Athletic Association contest today with a 50-36 defeat at the hands of host Case Western Reserve University. The Judges missed their first 12 shots from the floor and never led as they fell to 8-14 overall, 2-9 in the UAA. Case improved to 15-7, 7-4 UAA.
Despite their initial slow start, Brandeis was still only behind, 8-4, when senior Angela Miller (Sicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek) finally connected eight-and-a-half minutes into the game. Unfortunately for the Judges, their offense was unable to get going. Case was ahead, 20-9, with just under three minutes left in the half before the Judges scored six of the last nine points of the half. Brandeis ended up shooting just 18.8% (6-32) and falling behind 23-15 at the break.
The second half opened in a similar fashion, with the Spartans holding Brandeis to just one free throw over the first 7:24 as the Judges again missed their first 12 from the field. Case's Erin Reynolds hit a lay-up at the just over seven minutes into the second half as the hosts doubled up the Judges, 34-17, and never looked back. The Spartans led by as many as 21 points before a late 10-3 run got Brandeis to within the final 14-point margin. The Judges shot 20 percent in the second half (7-35) and were held to just 19.4% for the game (13-67), their third time below 20 percent for a game this season.
Brandeis was paced by Miller, who finished with 10 points in just eight minutes of play, marking the second time this season she led the squad in scoring. Miller hit 3-of-5 from the field and all four of her free throws. No other Brandeis player had more than two field goals or five points. Sophomore guard Hannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./Gloucester) led all players with nine rebounds and tied for game-high with four steals.
Case was held to just 50 points and 30.6% shooting from the floor, but the Spartans owned a 12-4 advantage in points off turnovers. Senior Evy Iacono was the only Case player in double figures with 15 points. She hit 4-of-17 from the field, but connected on 7-of-8 from the line. Guard Erica Iafelice paced the home team with eight rebounds, four assists and four steals, while center Emily Mueller had five blocked shots.
Brandeis returns home next weekend to face the University of Chicago on Friday evening at 6 p.m. in a Play4Kay game and Washington University on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. on Senior Day.

Green Paper on promoting the tastes of Europe
The European Commission has yesterday launched a debate on the future of promotion and information schemes for EU agricultural products. With the publication of a Green Paper on these issues, the Commission is looking at how to shape a more targeted and more ambitious strategy for the future, which will make clearer to consumers – both in the EU and beyond - the quality, traditions and added-value of European agricultural and food products.
Presenting the Green Paper in Brussels today, EU Commissioner for Agriculture & Rural Development Dacian Cioloș stated: "To protect the health of our consumers farmers in Europe face stricter rules on food safety, environmental conditions, and animal welfare than their competitors elsewhere in the world. The European agriculture industry needs an ambitious and effective promotion policy which highlights the added-value of the sector. It is also important for European jobs and growth that the EU agri-food sector can improve its position on traditional and emerging markets. We therefore need to consider how best to adapt our schemes to support this goal."
The paper raises a series of multi-faceted questions and invites all stakeholders - consumers, producers, distributors and official authorities - to give their comments and suggestions by September 30, 2011. On the basis of these responses, the Commission will draft a Communication for publication next year, which should then lead to legislative proposals.
The Green Paper is divided into four sections - the European added-value of this policy; objectives and measures to use on the internal EU market, including on local and regional markets; objectives and measures to use on world markets; and broader questions on the content and management of the policy. The various questions raised, 16 in all, contain different aspects and suggestions, aimed at stimulating responses. For example, they ask about the specific needs for information and promotion, both on the EU market and the external market, and what priorities should be set. There is also a question about multi-country programmes, and what can be done to encourage programmes with a greater European dimension.
Current EU agri-food information and promotion rules were drawn up in the 1980s. They have been adapted over the years, notably with the increase in the number of quality labels. The EU budget spent on promotion under Council Regulation (EC) No 3/2008 amounted to €50.6m in 2007, €53.2m in 2008, €47.4m in 2009, and €47.4 in 2010. The current system sees most programmes targeted at the EU market (71% of programmes, 74% in value) and around 8% are multi-country programmes. Between 2006 and 2010, 190 programmes were approved, mostly 3-year schemes, worth a total of €259.4 million from the EU budget 1. (N.B: These need to be co-funded by the participating organisations and by Member States). Also, under the strict rules that apply, some 59% of applications were rejected over the 2006-2010 period.

A North American Approach to our Shared Drug Challenge
By Michael Alpern on February 24, 2017
Illicit narcotrafficking and drug use present an inherently transnational problem -- drug traffickers clearly don't respect national borders. To succeed in combatting drug trafficking, then, the good guys must also be able to work across borders. International cooperation is a must.
The State Department's International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Bureau, or INL, works all over the globe to advance this very type of international collaboration. This week we're in Thailand for the global 'Bangkok III' Conference, where the United States is highlighting cross-border anti-drug cooperation within our own home continent.
Unfortunately, amongst the many things linking the three North American neighbors is a very dire crisis -- the opioid epidemic. Frighteningly high overdose figures in the United States, a raging fentanyl crisis in Canada and the United States, and violence spread by drug traffickers in Mexico are all interrelated features of today's drug crisis.
On the global stage at Bangkok III our three nations are teaming up to showcase how cross-border cooperation can work in the face of this transnational challenge. The key is to ensure officials from each country -- technical experts, public health officials, and law enforcement -- are working together in concrete ways. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and Mexico's National Control Agency are sharing a stage at Bangkok III to tell this story, and to commit to further strengthening our trilateral partnership. As the head of the U.S. delegation to the Bangkok III Conference, INL's Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Luis Arreaga said:
"We want to achieve an aligned approach by our three countries to address the threat of narcotics misuse and abuse and trafficking of precursor chemicals."
Following Bangkok III, the United States, Mexico, and Canada will again convene in early March to pursue this aligned North American approach, as part of the ongoing North American Dialogue on Drug Policy. At a series of workshops in Washington, experts from the three nations will share best practices and information on illicit drug production, distribution, and treatment. And later in March, all three of our governments will take part in the annual United Nations (UN) Commission on Narcotic Drugs to consider further ways to reduce the supplies of dangerous drugs. Among U.S. priorities for the United Nations event are new international controls to block drug criminals from the precursor chemicals used to make illicit fentanyl.
At a time when our nation is facing a true drug crisis, with heroin and dangerous synthetics like fentanyl ravaging our communities, the U.S. government is working on multiple fronts -- and with our North American neighbors -- to forge effective and transnational solutions.

I find Executive Order No. 11593 [Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment] interesting reading in that it is the federal desire to "institute procedures to assure that Federal plans and programs contribute to the preservation and enhancement of non-federally owned sites, structures and objects of historical, architectural or archaeological significance." I question how construction of a roadway and an interchange with footprints in the eastern portion of McIntire Park will serve to preserve or enhance that property given it is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Section 1. Policy. The Federal Government shall provide leadership in preserving, restoring and maintaining the historic and cultural environment of the Nation. Agencies of the executive branch of the Government (hereinafter referred to as ''Federal agencies'') shall (1) administer the cultural properties under their control in a spirit of stewardship and trusteeship for future generations, (2) initiate measures necessary to direct their policies, plans and programs in such a way that federally owned sites, structures, and objects of historical, architectural or archaeological significance are preserved, restored and maintained for the inspiration and benefit of the people, and (3), in consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (16 U.S.C. 470i), institute procedures to assure that Federal plans and programs contribute to the preservation and enhancement of non-federally owned sites, structures and objects of historical, architectural or archaeological significance.
Sec. 2. Responsibilities of Federal agencies. Consonant with the provisions of the acts cited in the first paragraph of this order, the heads of Federal agencies shall:
(a) no later than July 1, 1973, with the advice of the Secretary of the Interior, and in cooperation with the liaison officer for historic preservation for the State or territory involved, locate, inventory, and nominate to the Secretary of the Interior all sites, buildings, districts, and objects under their jurisdiction or control that appear to qualify for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
(b) exercise caution during the interim period until inventories and evaluations required by subsection (a) are completed to assure that any federally owned property that might qualify for nomination is not inadvertently transferred, sold, demolished or substantially altered. The agency head shall refer any questionable actions to the Secretary of the Interior for an opinion respecting the property's eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The Secretary shall consult with the liaison officer for historic preservation for the State or territory involved in arriving at his opinion. Where, after a reasonable period in which to review and evaluate the property, the Secretary determines that the property is likely to meet the criteria prescribed for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the Federal agency head shall reconsider the proposal in light of national environmental and preservation policy. Where, after such reconsideration, the Federal agency head proposes to transfer, sell, demolish or substantially alter the property he shall not act with respect to the property until the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation shall have been provided an opportunity to comment on the proposal.
(c) initiate measures to assure that where as a result of Federal action or assistance a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places is to be substantially altered or demolished, timely steps be taken to make or have made records, including measured drawings, photographs and maps, of the property, and that copy of such records then be deposited in the Library of Congress as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey or Historic American Engineering Record for future use and reference. Agencies may call on the Department of the Interior for advice and technical assistance in the completion of the above records.
(d) initiate measures and procedures to provide for the maintenance, through preservation, rehabilitation, or restoration, of federally owned and registered sites at professional standards prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior.
(e) submit procedures required pursuant to subsection (d) to the Secretary of the Interior and to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation no later than January 1, 1972, and annually thereafter, for review and comment.
(f) cooperate with purchasers and transferees of a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the development of viable plans to use such property in a manner compatible with preservation objectives and which does not result in an unreasonable economic burden to public or private interests.
Sec. 3. Responsibilities of the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary of the Interior shall:
(a) encourage State and local historic preservation officials to evaluate and survey federally owned historic properties and, where appropriate, to nominate such properties for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
(b) develop criteria and procedures to be applied by Federal agencies in the reviews and nominations required by section 2(a). Such criteria and procedures shall be developed in consultation with the affected agencies.
(c) expedite action upon nominations to the National Register of Historic Places concerning federally owned properties proposed for sale, transfer, demolition or substantial alteration.
(d) encourage State and Territorial liaison officers for historic preservation to furnish information upon request to Federal agencies regarding their properties which have been evaluated with respect to historic, architectural or archaeological significance and which as a result of such evaluations have not been found suitable for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
(e) develop and make available to Federal agencies and State and local governments information concerning professional methods and techniques for preserving, improving, restoring and maintaining historic properties.
(f) advise Federal agencies in the evaluation, identification, preservation, improvement, restoration and maintenance of historic properties.
(g) review and evaluate the plans of transferees of surplus Federal properties transferred for historic monument purposes to assure that the historic character of such properties is preserved in rehabilitation, restoration, improvement, maintenance and repair of such properties.
(h) review and comment upon Federal agency procedures submitted pursuant to section 2(e) of this order.
Richard Nixon.

Design Connects East and West
When Graphic Design major Karin Kunori was looking for a summer internship, she contacted the counselors in RISD's Career Center, who helped her write a résumé and cover letter and pointed her towards websites that list internships in Asia. She wanted to work in Japan because her parents live there and having been away for many years, she wanted to experience work life in Tokyo before making post-graduation plans.
"From my very first day at threewhite, inc. in Tokyo I was busy with all sorts of print and web projects," Kunori recalls. This small graphic design studio is run by Miho Tanaka, who had worked as an intern herself while in grad school in Europe and wanted to make sure her RISD intern would see and learn as much as possible in three months. Day-to-day Kunori worked on photo editing, layouts, building logotypes and learning to work with Japanese typography. She also kept an Intern Diary on the studio's blog.
"Tanaka-san took me to most meetings so I could get a feel for how designer-client relationships affect the final design of a project," Kunori explains. Her mentor introduced her to the studio's accounting process, the vocabulary used in the field and the details of offset printing and color proofing.
During her three-month internship, the Graphic Design senior worked with illustrators, food stylists, writers, paper specialists and photographers. But she says that "the most inspiring part was seeing the teamwork and collaboration at threewhite. In school most projects are done by one student from start to finish, but in the 'real world' the art director has to form a team and set a clear direction and common goals." By seeing how Tanaka orchestrated all this, Kunori realized that "careful planning, open-mindedness and patience are definitely essential." She also notes that the experience opened her to consider new directions in design. "All in all," she says, "I loved meeting all kinds of people, and was surprised to discover how small the world is – and how much design connects us in so many ways."

Labor condition application posting notices - United States
Pursuant to Department of Labor regulation 20 CFR 655.734, Ericsson Inc. is providing notice to potentially affected workers that H-1B workers are beeing sought at the worksites listed below. All labor condition applications are avaliable for public inspection at our administrative headquarters for immigration matters located at:
6300 Legacy Drive
Plano, Texas 75024
Complaints alleging misrepresentation of material facts in the labor condition application and/or failure to comply with the terms of the labor condition application may be filed with any office of the Wage and Hour Division of the United Stated Department of Labor.
Important notice: fraudulent job offers
It has come to our attention that emails and job adverts have been created and circulated by unknown individuals for the purpose of attempting to defraud candidates.
Potential candidates should be wary of approaches that appear to be offering a job for which they have not applied, especially if personal details or money must be sent in order to proceed with the recruitment. Neither Ericsson nor any commissioned third parties recruit in this manner. Such approaches are almost certainly fraudulent attempts to gain details of identity for illegal use.
Ericsson is taking all necessary steps to investigate this matter further.

With the Legislature's redistricting maps tied up in Washington D.C. and the court drawn interim maps for the 2012 election, temporarily put aside by the U.S. Supreme Court — the center of attention in the Texas redistricting case has once again returned to San Antonio, where a three judge panel will hear arguments Tuesday morning about what to do about the state's filing deadlines and primary date.
In its order, the San Antonio court asked the various groups involved in the complicated legal fight over the state's redistricting maps to come to an agreement on what to do about the primary date and filing deadlines before the hearing. If the filings in the cases docket are any indication, that hasn't happened.
The Republican Party of Texas filed papers recommending most of the primary elections from March to May 29 with runoff elections taking place in August. However, it would leave the races the statewide races that typically have the biggest in March, such as the presidential contest and U.S. Senate race.
Minority groups allege that such a move would dramatically decrease turnout for the May primary elections and effectively discriminate against minority voters. Three of those groups — the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, League of United Latin American Citizens and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund — filed a motion in court yesterday that asks that all of the primaries be kept together.
The court has not provided any guidance on when they might make a decision about what to do with the state's filing deadlines and election dates. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about if the San Antonio court went to far when it drew its maps January 9 and a separate trial to determine if the Legislature's maps disenfranchise minority voters (or retrogress) will get underway in Washington D.C. on Jan 17.

For some in Newport-Mesa, the 85th annual Academy Awards telecast may have prompted a three-word response: "Oh, hey, guys."
Within minutes of the show's beginning, William Shatner, who recently brought his one-man show to the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, appeared on a massive screen in a sketch with host Seth MacFarlane. "Inocente," which played last month at the Irvine International Film Festival, won for Best Documentary Short. And somewhere in that crowd was Gene Allen, the former Academy president who lives in Newport Beach.
Some of those local ties were expected; Allen has been a regular face at the show since the 1950s, and at least one pundit predicted "Inocente's" victory. On the other hand, Shatner's appearance — in which he beamed himself in from the future to prevent MacFarlane from bombing as host — came as a surprise.
So, for that matter, did a number of the winners. Christoph Waltz, who won Best Supporting Actor several years ago for a Quentin Tarantino movie, pulled off the same feat in an upset over Robert De Niro and Tommy Lee Jones. "Brave," which earned lukewarm reviews, toppled the beloved "Wreck-It Ralph" for Best Animated Feature.
And few probably expected Ang Lee ("Life of Pi") to edge Steven Spielberg ("Lincoln") for Best Director. So how did our readers do in Times Community News' annual Oscar guessing contest? The answer is, not very well — and neither did I. Of the top six categories, I guessed only Best Picture, Actor and Supporting Actress correctly, while our most accurate readers tied with two apiece.
As any grade-school teacher can testify, 50% is not a passing grade. So rather than anoint myself the winner of this year's contest, I'm just going to declare no winner at all. But if our contest had a victor, I hope he or she would be as eloquent and funny as Daniel Day-Lewis was in his Best Actor acceptance speech. Disabled artist, iconic president, stand-up comedian — is there any role this man can't play to perfection?
Other assorted thoughts on the show:
Bring it on: It seems like every year, people complain about the length of the Oscars. I'm not in that camp; the show only takes place once a year, so an extra 20 or 30 minutes doesn't hurt. That said, if I had to make it shorter, I would start by cutting the tributes and montages — 50 years of James Bond, 10 years of musicals, etc. The memorial montage toward the end is always reverence enough. Less mist and more merriment!
Too soon?: Charges of misogyny aside, MacFarlane seems to have gotten the most attention for his quip about Lincoln's assassination. Was it "too soon," as he asked the groaning audience? I don't know — Mel Brooks wrote "Springtime for Hitler" just two decades after World War II ended. But I was reminded of an old theory of Roger Ebert: to paraphrase, the more tasteless a joke is, the funnier it has to be to get away with it. The John Wilkes Booth line, I think, didn't quite get away with it.
Most esoteric gag: The "Sound of Music" allusion before introducing Christopher Plummer. No matter how much the Oscars try to play to a younger demographic, their best moments are often the nods to erudite viewers.
Versatility award: Ever wondered why no one's coined an adjective to describe Lee's filmmaking style, like Hitchcockian or Spielbergian? Because, well, look at his resume: "Life of Pi" (CGI-heavy religious parable), "Brokeback Mountain" (cowboy romance), "Sense and Sensibility" (Jane Austen adaptation), "Hulk" (Marvel superhero) and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (gravity-defying martial arts), among others. Actually, come to think of it, "Life of Pi" did have a crouching tiger. He finally repeated himself!
Wrong first lady: It was a neat touch, sure, to have Michelle Obama open the envelope for Best Picture. But since the clear front-runner was "Argo," about the U.S. government rescuing citizens from Iran in 1980, wouldn't it have fit the bill even more to have Rosalynn Carter do it?

We use them indoors as our studio lights behind an umbrella or soft box. At weddings or any shoot on the run, we always have one on a Voice Activated Lightstand
Nikon's Speedlights are powerful and versatile light sources, and with a little practice, you can achieve some amazing results!
There appears to be some confusion about the basic modes of the Speedlights and when to use them. I took the following the examples to try to explain. (please note I'm using a Nikon D3 which is capable of high-speed sync outdoors).
First, the basic "TTL" mode. This mode attempts to use the flash to balance the entire scene. This is a mode best used indoors, or a location where the natural lighting is even. Here's an example of what happens with TTL mode outdoors. This shoot is taken outdoors, with the subject in full shade, (85mm, Aperture Priority, f/2.0, 1/2000, SB-900 TTL EV 0):
Yuck! This is typical in what happens in TTL mode outdoors. For quick improvement, we can switch the Speedlight to the TTL-BL mode, which stands for Balanced Fill Flash. In this mode, the flash uses the camera's exposure information to try to provide a good balance between the foreground and background exposure. Here's the same shot again with the only change the switch to TTL BL mode (85mm, Aperture Priority, f/2.0, 1/1600, SB-900 TTL-BL EV 0)
Better! Without any other manual adjustments, the camera and speedlight gave us a pretty well balance image. We can further refine the image by adjusting the camera exposure bias or the flash bias. In this example, I've put the camera into Manual mode, so I have full control over the exposure of the background. Then I dialed the compensation on the SB-900 down EV -3.0. (85mm, Aperture Priority, f/2.0, 1/2500, SB-900 TTL-BL EV -3)
In this image, you can barely tell a flash was used at all, and you also get greater saturation in the background. It just provided gentle fill flash without providing that obvious punch of on-camera flash. A little greater refinement to EV -2.7 or -2.3 might suit individual tastes.
While I'm not trying to teach a complete tutorial on Nikon Speedlights, I am trying to encourage you to grab a friend, go outside, and give it a try!

I recently had an elevation in my blood sugars for the first time. It is a scary thing when you don't know what or how much you should be eating. Or to what extent diabetes will effect your life.
I immediately turned to The Unlitmate Diabetes Meal Planner as my guide.
Knowing that there was a menu for every day of the year was such a comfort. With everything else I needed to learn about this disease, not having to worry if I was eating the correct food and portions gave me such peace of mind.
I started feeling better from the first day. The food is delicious and the recipes are easy to prepare. There is such variety you don't get bored.
By adding exercise to my lifestyle and sticking to my meal plans I am able to keep my sugars under control.
I would highly recommend this book. The menus changing with the four seasons allows you to take advantage of fresh fruits and vegetables year round. Offering the meal plans in calorie counts 1500, 1800, 2000, 2200 makes them suitable for anyone.
Thank you Jaynie Higgins and David Groetzinger for doing the hard work with care and compassion. Your book is sincerely appreciated!

Although I have not been diagnosed yet...my sugar levels and symptoms point to type 2. As soon as I found that my numbers were elevated I started using The Ulitimate Diabetes Meal Planner. With so much to learn it is a comfort to me that I can choose a menu according to my calorie intake and trust that I am eating the appropriate food. Not only for diabetes safety, but also for good nutrition. I felt better from the first day. I am in hopes that I will be able to control my sugars with diet and exercise. No matter my outcome, I will continue to use this book as a guide for a healthy lifestyle. I love it! The food is varied and delicious. The recipes are easy to make with few ingredients so that cost is kept down. Thank you Jaynie Higgins and David Groetzinger for your compassion and knowledge. You are sincerely appreciated!

I just recently discovered that my glucose levels are high. I am soon to have blood tests to determine my diagnosies.
Diabetes is not a disease I considered that I would have to deal with. I am worried and have many questions and concerns.
One thing I don't have to worry about is if I am eating properly. And right now that brings me great comfort.
The Ultimate Diabetes Meal Planner has recipes for every day of the year which change with the 4 seasons. (Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall) As if that isn't enough you also have the choice of meal plans for 1500, 1800, 2000, 2200 calories per day so you can choose what best suits your needs. There are also grocery lists included and all I have to do is check off the items I need and take the list with me to the store. I don't have to stress and hope that I am making the right decisons for my health. The work has been done for me.
The food is delicious and the meals are thoughtfully planned out and are easy to prepare. Exchange and nutritional values are included with every recipe.
Beginning this lifestyle is confusing and complicated enough. Thank you Jaynie Higgins and David Groetzinger for making this process much easier. Your knowledge and compassion are sincerely appreciated.

I rated this a 3 because,the site made me join and rate it before I bought it or could read other reviews. That's all I need to say without owning the book
I wanted to read the reviews, not write a review on something I haven't even seen yet.

Poll: Romney Drops Two More Points, But Likely Won't Be Caught
For the fifth day in a row, Mitt Romney has fallen in overnight tracking, but lack of movement by second place Ron Paul has insulated a likely Romney victory, according to the latest two-day Suffolk University/7News tracking poll of likely voters in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary.
Romney dropped 2 more percentage points overnight but still holds a 13-point lead at 33 percent. The former Massachusetts governor has dropped a full 10 points from five days ago, when he had 43 percent of likely GOP voters.
Romney is followed by Paul (20 percent), Jon Huntsman (13 percent), Newt Gingrich (11 percent) and Rick Santorum (10 percent), while Rick Perry and Buddy Roemer combined for 3 percent with 12 percent undecided.
"Mitt Romney's biggest asset is the large number of candidates in this group that are dividing up the remainder of the vote," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston. "With just a 33 percent stake, he can control his destiny, so long as the others in his group continue to battle each other. So the more people in the group the merrier for Romney."
Romney showed weakness among younger voters and in the north/west region of the state which includes the counties of Carroll, Cheshire, Coos, Grafton, and Sullivan. Among younger voters ages 18-34 years, Romney now trails Paul, who leads 36 percent to 22 percent. In the north/west region, Paul led Romney 25 percent to 21 percent.
Currently, the highest undecided category is women ages 18-44 years. There were 19 percent undecided in this category versus just 12 percent overall.
The Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston will release results of two-day tracking polls every day leading up to the New Hampshire presidential primary on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012.
The statewide survey includes two nights of 250 likely respondents for a two-day tracking total of 500 likely voters in New Hampshire's Republican presidential primary. This track was conducted Jan. 7 and Jan. 8 using live telephone interviews with landline and cell phone users. The margin of error is +/-4.4 percent at a 95 percent level of confidence. Marginals and full cross-tabulation data will be posted Monday, Jan. 9, 2012, on the Suffolk University Political Research Center website. For more information, contact David Paleologos at 781-290-9310. Paleologos is on site at the Manchester, N.H., media center located in the lobby of the Radisson Hotel, 700 Elm Street, Manchester through Jan. 10.

Jan Garbarek / Egberto Gismonti / Charlie Haden
Magico – Carta De Amor
Jan Garbarek: tenor and soprano saxophones, flute, percussion
Egberto Gismonti: guitars, piano
Charlie Haden: double-bass
This all-star trio came together in the late 70s/early 80s and made just two magical studio recordings for ECM. The band performed in Europe during the few years it existed. ECM producer Manfred Eicher discovered, after more than three decades in the ECM archive, an astonishing live recording of the band from a concert in his home town of Munich which he has now newly mixed in 96 kHz/24 bit.
