"My acrylic paintings will never be accidentally confused as a photograph." I love to use the striking shapes of nature to create my various colorful interpretations of the the world. I use colors that are bold & dynamic... an "in your face" style. My ideas for paintings are taking either from sketches, plein air painting or photographs that I have taken personally. I work primarily in acrylics, but occasionally switch to watercolors, markers, & mixed media. To me color is everything! I love the shapes & textures as well as the shadows on an image. I try to use the play of light & shapes of what I see & convert it into fun interplay of colors. I have been painting & drawing ever since I was a small child. My mother used to give me...

The Music Industry Is Desperate For A Few Good Technologists
from the oh-really? dept
I'm curious as to why this was so pronounced. It could be that (as always!) good techies are hard to find. These days, there's tremendous demand, and the magnetic pull of jobs at Google, Facebook and Twitter often feels like it's sucking dry available technologists for startups. But, at the same time, I also wonder if the music industry's history in the tech world is impacting things as well. The history of music-related startups is littered with companies sued by record labels or crushed by overly burdensome rules. I would bet that a lot of smart techies recognize this, and don't want to touch anything that might involve having to go up against (or even "partner") with the legacy music industry. There's plenty of interest in music, but working in music innovation just seems like a hassle that's probably not worth it for many technologists who have other options.
It seems like yet another unfortunate legacy of the industry's decision to treat the changing marketplace as an "us vs. them" sort of thing.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina Press Association is claiming victory in a battle to maintain government notices in newspapers, but the war isn't yet over.
Two bills in the North Carolina House that would have chipped away at newspaper monopolies over notices of public meetings failed to meet a deadline for the two-year legislative session ending in 2014. But a Senate version of one bill wasn't subject to that deadline, which requires all bills that don't involve spending or taxing to clear at least one chamber.
The first House bill would allow 10 counties to use electronic notices instead of newspaper ads. Under the bill, local governments would have to mail or email notices to people who ask for them. Newspapers, which are currently the only game in town and collect revenue from the notices, would remain an option.
The Senate version of that bill applies to different counties but is largely the same.
Supporters have argued the current system isn't fit for a digital age in which newspapers are no longer the chief source of information. Opponents say removing the requirement ignores the technology gap that exists in many communities and deals a blow to the public's right to know.
The other House bill would replace newspaper notices with electronic notices for a number of state Department of Environment and Natural Resources announcements.
Rep. Marilyn Avila, R-Wake, successfully pushed for an amendment that replaced the whole bill with her own measure maintaining newspaper control but with discounted rates in cases of multiple notices and free Web publishing. The House voted 68-41 for her amendment, and House leadership pulled all three bills from consideration, effectively killing the two bills subject to the deadline.
Avila said the bills would have allowed government to shirk its responsibility of transparency to save money.
"When we pass taxes and laws and regulations, and we hear the private sector yell, 'It's too expensive!' our response is, 'That's your cost of doing business,' she said. "Well, members, our cost of doing business in public notifications to our citizens is a cost we should incur."
Avila's amendment was based on similar measures that passed unanimously in Florida and with near-total support in Tennessee, said John Bussian, attorney for the NC Press Association. He said he thinks the passage of the amendment will help put to bed an eight-year series of similar confrontations between the press and lawmakers, who have routinely pursued similar legislation.
"Sounds like there's a pretty strong consensus that this is the way this issue should be solved," he said.
But Rep. Chuck McGrady, R-Henderson, and the lead sponsor of the two bills, said what the press association is offering is no compromise.
"That's called a catfish," he said. "That's basically creating a monopoly with the press association. They called it a 'compromise,' and since they print papers by the dozens and thousands and millions they can keep calling it a compromise, but that's laughable."
He said he views the vote on the amendment as a reflection of pressure from local newspaper editors on lawmakers, but he has no plans to revive his bills using procedures sometimes pursued by legislators to circumvent deadlines. The Senate bill, which is still alive, is not meant to hasten the downfall of newspapers, he added.
"It's about how we best get notice out to the public, and my bill, if somebody wants notice, they're going to get first-class mail notice," McGrady said. "They don't get that now. There's a lot more options here. This is about money."
NC newspapers tout win over public notice bill

REAL NAME: Shawn Daivari
5' 10", 203 pounds
BORN:April 30, 1984 in Tehran, Iran
NICKNAMES: Sheik Daivari, Khosrow Daivari
When he first arrived on WWE TV, Daivari, a talented wrestler in his own right, was one-half of the most controversial duos in recent WWE history. As a second for Muhammad Hassan, Daivari was relegated to wreaking havoc on opponents outside the ring, although he did occasionally wrestle. When things became too controversial, Hassan and Daivari disappeared from WWE TV for several months. Although Hassan is still MIA, Daivari has returned, very much unchanged and has allied himself with Kurt Angle.
Shawn Daivari was born in Tehran, Iran before moving before moving to Minneapolis, Minnesota. By the age of 15 he was training for a career in wrestling, under the tutelage of former AWA and WWE manager Sheikh Adnan Alkaissy and famed trainer Eddie Sharkey. Debuting in 1999 and known as Sheik Daivari, he began working independent shows across the United States. During one of his early tag matches, Daivari came off the top rope with a frog splash using a small carpet. The move, initially done as a one-shot joke, became his trademark "Magic Carpet Ride" finisher.
As Daivari's career continued, he won several championships such as the MAPW Heavyweight title, the MIAW Lightweight Championship, the AXW Cruiserweight title and the NEO-PRO Cruiserweight Championship. But more importantly, he was earning the respect of his collegues and was beginning to get noticed by the bigger promotions.
By 2003, Daivari was on the verge of moving to the next level. He worked a few dates for NWA-TNA, appearing on the losing end of several tag matches on the organization's Xplosion program. He teamed with Ken Anderson (the future Ken Kennedy) and Sean Casey, taking on Christopher Daniels and Legend. Towards the end of 2003, he also worked in dark matches for WWE, taking on Tommy Dreamer, Stevie Richards and others in dark matches and on Heat.
Daivari's stay in WWE wouldn't be a long one at first, and he was back working on the independent scene. When Tyson Dux was injured, Daivari took his place in ECWA's Super 8 Tournament and faced Austin Aries in the first round. Daivari earned praise for the match, but it was Aries who advanced in the tournament, ultimately won by Daniels. Daivari went from the ECWA-sanctioned tournament to competing in Ring of Honor during the spring and summer of 2004.
In August 2004, Daivari was signed to a developmental deal by WWE, and was assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling. After further training by Danny Davis, Daivari, as Khosrow Daivari, returned to WWE, acting as the manager for the former Mike Magnus-turned-Muhammad Hassan. Hassan and Davairi were introduced as Arab-Americans who were fed up with the way they had been treated by their countrymen since 9/11. While Hassan did most of the in-ring work, Daivari interfered from the outside during Hassan's matches and translating Hassan's promos into Arabic (or, more precisely, Farsi).
Vignettes for the pair began airing in early November, with Hassan taking on Sgt. Slaughter in a dark match at Taboo Tuesday. Their debut proper, however, came on the December 13th edition of Raw, interrupting Mick Foley.
On the first Raw of 2005, the pair turned their attention to Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. A debate between the two factions turned physical, and Daivari and Hassan left the announcers lying. This led to a match between Lawler and Hassan at New Year's Revolution.
After a Wrestlemanaia XXI attack on Eugene earned the ire of Hulk Hogan and an attack on Shawn Michaels brought HBK into the fray, Hassan and Daivari found themselves challenged by two of the biggest icons in WWE.
On April 11th, Daivari made his WWE in-ring debut on Raw, and defeated Michaels. At Backlash, Hogan and Michaels defeated Hassan and Daivari in a featured bout. There was hell to pay as, the next night on Raw, Hassan beat down Daivari for the loss but Daivari remained loyal and helped Hassan in a short program against Chris Jericho and Shelton Benjamin.
In June 2005, Daivari and Hassan were drafted to Smackdown, and took aim at the Undertaker. In a tragic turn of events, an attack orchestrated by Hassan and Daivari on the Undertaker saw five masked terrorist-like figures beat down the Undertaker. The episode of Smackdown aired the the same day as a terrorist attack on London, England.
Controversy arose and UPN pressured WWE to drop the Hassan and Daivari characters. WWE complied and Hassan was soundly defeated by the Undertaker at the Great American Bash. That would be the last WWE fans saw of Hassan, and Daivari was yanked from TV as well for several months.
Daivari would make appearances in OVW, taking on Bobby Lashley in September 2005. Two months later, however, Daivari was back in WWE and back on Raw, this time as an ally in Kurt Angle's feud against John Cena. In addition to acting as a special referee in Cena's matches, Daivari even took on Angle in a special "Beat the Clock" challenge match. The plot backfired as an irate Angle was counted out, giving Daivari the victory over the Olympian.
But things were not to remain so smooth between manager Daivari and wrestler Angle. On January 13th, 2006, Daivari and Angle jumped ship to Smackdown and won the vacant World title in a battle royale. However in Angle's last match on Raw a week later, Daivari cost him a match against Shawn Michaels. Angle attacked Daivari and later fired him as his manager.
Daivari didn't have to go far to find a way for possible revenge. He quickly became Olympian Mark Henry's manager and led the World's Strongest Man into an unsuccessful challenge for Angle's World title at the Royal Rumble.
After leading Henry into an unsuccessful feud against the Undertaker, Daivari returned in April with the Great Khali again targeting 'Taker. Khali drove the Undertaker from Smackdown for a time.
When the ECW brand was resurrected, Daivari and Khali were initially on it. When Khali transferred to Raw, Daivari did not accompany him as manager, instead showing up on Smackdown as a cruiserweight contender.
When the Supplemental draft happened in June 2007, Daivari went back to the Raw roster, and soon virtually disappeared from TV and storylines, save for a throwaway flag match against "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in September. He was released from his WWE contract on October 16, 2007.

O'Neal Douglas, Steve Halverson, Wanyonyi Kendrick, Judith Solano, Kevin Twomey
Wilfredo Gonzalez
Quorum was established. Chair Twomey asked for comments or questions on the minutes. Trustee Douglas moved to approve them. The motion was seconded by Trustee Halverson and approved unanimously.
Vice President Shuman discussed the parking fees. Each year a committee made up of faculty, staff, and students examines the fee structure for parking and makes a recommendation to the president. The current recommendation had been agreed upon unanimously by the committee members. She reminded the committee that another parking garage would be needed by 2008-09 and that a total gradual increase of about 8.5 percent had been modeled last year. Based on new information, the total increase that would be needed was now only 7.8 percent. The recommendation was to leave the parking fee structure philosophically unchanged. The Parking Committee would like to generate the same amount of revenue for each space, which meant that the University was not charging enough for the designated spaces and was charging too much for the 2nd and 3rd floor spaces. Additionally, the committee decided that the discount lot should be half of the general price, which would raise it from $50 to $69.
Chair Twomey asked about the increase for the discount lot, noting that it was a rather large increase. He asked if this was the only one that was not based on the revenue per space. Vice President Shuman said the only other exception was housing, which paid the general rate. Though parking for housing was pretty much a 1 to 1 ratio and should cost more, the committee had decided not to raise the cost for those spaces yet.
Ms. Shuman said that one of the complaints during the budget process had come from employees who did not feel they should have to pay for parking. The University had offered a parking benefit of $50 per employee, the discount rate, in order to address the complaint. She said the Board would have to make that consideration next year if the program was to continue, but it would not have a lot of impact if so. President Delaney said the cost to continue the program, covering the increase, would be about $30,000.
Chair Twomey said the key to him was the broad acceptance among the constituents. Ms. Shuman noted that Dr. Solano could comment further, as she sat on the Parking Committee. Trustee Solano affirmed that faculty and students had reached accord on this option and staff had no objection. Any other option would have produced discord with at least one of the groups. Trustee Douglas asked where this plan put the University in terms of supporting the bond for the garage. Ms. Shuman said it was right on target.
Trustee Halverson asked if the option of privatization had been explored for managing capital improvement. President Delaney said the labor was fairly low paid, thus there was no particular upside to privatization. He added that it had been tried in the Mayor's office prior to his service as Mayor and had not worked well. Trustee Halverson agreed that what President Delaney said made sense, but said he had been surprised at the creative solutions that had come up during some applications. President Delaney concurred, offering the Mayport Ferry as an example of privatization that had worked well. He proposed having the University look for a consultant. Trustee Halverson said it would be nice to explore the point before getting into other capital operations as the University grew.
Chair Twomey asked for a motion to recommend the changes to the parking fees. Trustee Solano offered the motion, Trustee Douglas seconded it, and it was approved unanimously.
Vice President Shuman said the LambdaRail was a high speed network infrastructure and that a number of Florida universities had come together as a consortium to work with the national LambdaRail. The research faculty were very much in favor of participation in the LambdaRail. She said Mr. Lance Taylor, director of Information Technology Services, was available to answer further questions, as was Trustee Solano, who had also been very involved in the project.
Chair Twomey asked Ms. Shuman to discuss the financial implications of joining the consortium. Ms. Shuman replied that the universities joined by purchasing a number of units. For UNF it would be two units, whereas most of the other universities paid for four units as they were larger institutions. The initial cost would be $508,000, as if UNF had been part of the consortium from the beginning. This amount could be paid in two installments before June 30. After that, the cost would be $224,000 per year for membership. She said the reason the issue was before the committee was because the consortium had a $6,000,000 loan outstanding. The bank understood that the boards could not give a guarantee, but had asked for a comfort non-binding resolution stating that the universities would budget for the loan.
Trustee Kendrick asked for the value of this investment. She said it sounded great but she wondered if there were other options that would allow for the same amount of information transfer, but for less cost. President Delaney replied that this was the next generation of connectivity to really use huge amounts of data. He said that while one school of thought might be to wait until the next wave or linkage, he thought it was fair to say that UNF's faculty members were very interested in joining the consortium. He said that virtually every other university in Florida except USF, which was already quite advanced and didn't require the extra connectivity, had joined the project. The next upgrade was unpredictable in terms of how many years away it was, and President Delaney felt there would also be advantages for the University in contracts, grants, and recruiting. Trustee Solano added that another of the positive outcomes of joining the consortium was that the University could go outside and purchase bandwidth as a consumer of someone else's resource, but by joining the LambdaRail, UNF became an owner and a voice in further development of the LambdaRail, rather than just a user who must deal with the management decisions of the vendor.
Chair Twomey asked if there were other questions or comments. Trustee Halverson moved to approve the motion, stating that he had a lot of confidence in the administration and faculty's evaluation of the issue. Further, he thought the financial obligation was acceptable. Trustee Solano seconded the motion. The other committee members, with the exception of Trustee Kendrick, were in favor of joining the consortium. Trustee Kendrick said she would like to consider funding the LambdaRail but wanted to ensure the quantification of other such decisions. Therefore, she voted against the motion. The motion was passed by a majority vote.
Regarding the investment policy, Vice President Shuman said the University had devolved from state system as of July 1 of last year and was thus able to do its own investing. State law required an investment policy that coincided with Florida statutes. She announced that Mr. Michael Neglia, previously employed with Winn Dixie, had been hired as the University treasurer, and said he could help answer any questions about the policy. Trustee Halverson noted that it was a fairly conservative investment plan and said he had no difficulties with it. Chair Twomey agreed, as did Trustee Douglas and Trustee Solano. Trustee Douglas moved to approve the plan and Trustee Solano seconded the motion. It was approved unanimously.
Vice President Shuman said she had promised to provide snapshot reports to trustees when she was hired. This was a draft of one such report and indicated how much cash the University had, how much was invested, the percentage of debt bond, etc. She said that currently the University was doing quite well at matching investment versus debt. She asked if the trustees had suggestions or changes they would like to recommend.
Chair Twomey asked if the cash amount included that held by housing and for other purposes. He asked if it was consolidated cash for the entire University and if it included money from the UNF Foundation. Ms. Shuman replied that the cash amount reflected the entire university operations, not including Foundation. He also wanted to know if the report could include E&G monies and a page for each of the major accounts, such as housing. Trustee Halverson agreed and said he commended Vice President Shuman for the report. Ms. Shuman said she would include the information in her next report. No action was required on this agenda item.
As there were no further comments, Chair Twomey thanked everyone for participating and called the meeting to a close.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, and I don't remember this happening on my Galaxy S3 when listening to music, but now that I have an S5, the Madsonic app seems to be downloading the album cover art and saving the files to my "Gallery"/photo album.
Under "Other Settings", there is a setting to hide the music from other apps. I believe on my S3, this was enabled, and until just now, it was disabled on the S5, so I enabled it. Testing this out now, but was wondering if the intention was to allow the album art to be saved to the photo album, or if it's a bug with the client software?

CBS has stopped throwing stones at ABC'sGlass House.
The network dropped its lawsuit Friday against ABC that claimed the Walt Disney Company subsidiary's reality show was a rip off of CBS's concept for Big Brother.
"The viewers have spoken and delivered the ultimate form of justice against The Glass House," a rep for CBS told E! News in a statement. "As a result, we filed in federal court this morning a voluntary dismissal without prejudice of our claims against ABC."
Judge denies CBS' request to shut down Glass House
And just what was the "justice" CBS was referring to?
Last week, Glass House ranked 87th among broadcast TV shows by number of viewers, according to the Chicago Tribune.
CBS originally filed its copyright-infringement lawsuit against ABC in May and demanded $500,000 in damages for each separate act of misappropriation (for each of the 19 people employed by the show who once worked on Big Brother), as well as a restraining order and a permanent injunction to prevent the show from going forward with production.

Moyes to experiment ahead of Vidic exit
Manchester United manager David Moyes will look to test out new defensive partnerships before Nemanja Vidic leaves at the end of the season.
The United captain is set to join Serie A side Inter when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign, having been at Old Trafford since 2006.
Moyes is eager to hand opportunities to young central defenders ahead of Vidic's departure although he conceded this would likely happen closer to the end of the season.
"We've got a few games to go (before the end of the season)," Moyes said, before hinting that United may look to promote from within.
"I've got young centre-halves to see and I'll be looking to introduce them in the final month or two of the season."
The Premier League holders went into the international break off the back of a dismal showing in Greece as they lost 2-0 to Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League.
Moyes feels the break denied them the chance to bounce back immediately from the loss in Athens but the Scot was pleased to see the likes of Darren Fletcher, Javier Hernandez and Shinji Kagawa play for their respective countries.
"It's allowed some players to get games, but it's also been a hindrance on the back of a bad performance and bad result against Olympiacos," he said.
"We wanted to put that right much sooner but the way the fixtures worked out meant we didn't have a game.
"We need to get back to creating more opportunities than we have done. We've played quite well in games but not scored and taken our chances.
"The introduction of Juan Mata and his interplay with Wayne Rooney and Robin (van Persie) has helped the creativity."
"(But) creativity isn't just the key. We also need to keep the back door shut."

The study investigated 100 subjects, both genders, with chronic Chagas disease, confirmed by at least two distinct serological tests, and classified according to Los Andes classification in a long term follow-up aiming at identifying the predictive value of the signal-averaged electrocardiogram for cardiac death and ventricular tachycardia.
All subjects admitted to the study were submitted to clinical history taking, physical examination, and noninvasive assessment, including blood pressure measurement, resting 12-lead surface electrocardiogram, 24h ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring, M-Mode/two-dimensional echocardiogram, signal-averaged electrocardiogram in both time and frequency domains. Selected subjects were further submitted to treadmill stress test and coronary angiography to rule out coronary heart disease.
Subjects were followed by non-investigational primary care assistance at three to six months scheduled clinical visits on an outpatients basis. Both noninvasive and invasive evaluation during follow-up were requested at discretion of primary evaluation. Adverse outcomes were ascertained by review of medical records and active contact to either study subjects or their relatives.

Teenage Runaways, Drug Addicts and Single Moms- The New All American "Progressive" Family
Posted on April 29 2011 3:00 pm
|Print This Post
According to a new study by the Centre for Social Justice, almost half of all children in the United Kingdom will see their married or cohabitating parents split up by the time they're sixteen. Never before in Great Britain's history has the breakdown of the family been so palpable.
Here in the United States things aren't much different. According to a new report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, one in four children in the United States is being raised by a single parent. The main reason for the high U.S. figure, say the experts, is the growing acceptance of single-parent child rearing.
The question is, should there be such widespread acceptance of single-parent child rearing?
People struggle with this question for an obvious reason: just about everyone knows at least one person, if not ten, who is either a product of a single-parent household or is a single parent. Thus, Americans are reluctant to say anything disparaging about single parents. Indeed, the desire not to offend has become an epidemic in this country. When Ann Coulter pointed out in 2009 that 70% of prison inmates come from single-parent families, as do 70% of teenage runaways and drug addicts, she was accused of being insensitive. But in order to solve a problem of this magnitude, we're going to have to step on some toes.
No-fault divorce, which Ronald Reagan admitted was "one of the worst mistakes" he ever made in office, was the beginning of the downward spiral for the American family. California, where Reagan was governor in 1969, was the first state to adopt the no-fault divorce law. It was a new concept. Dissolving a marriage on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences," as opposed to proving fault on the part of a spouse, allows anyone to get divorced for any reason at all. Has this been a good thing for some people in some cases? Perhaps. But it has come at great cost.
We don't talk much about peer pressure as it relates to divorce, but we should. We like to think adults are above this phenomenon; but the truth is, with so many husbands and wives — wives, mainly — relying on "irreconcilable differences" to give them the freedom they desire, it has become easy for dissatisfied couples to jump on the bandwagon. This conundrum is best explained by a study conducted by social science researcher James H. Fowler, who found that if a sibling divorces, we are 22 percent more likely to divorce ourselves. That is a shocking percentage, to be sure, but not as shocking as this: people who had a divorced friend were 147 percent more likely to get divorced than people whose friends' marriages were intact.
This would suggest, then, that the reverse would be true as well. The more couples stay together, so too will those couples whose situations may not be so dire.
As it stands now, that is not the case. With the single-parent lifestyle being not only accepted but glorified, even hailed in some cases as empowering, Americans are being pulled in the wrong direction. Some even argue that marriage isn't necessary at all. Since women now make their own living and people are living longer lives than ever, why not shack up or simply love each other for as long as we are able? Better yet, why not encourage women who want to be mothers to use sperm banks so they can raise children without having to, as Jennifer Aniston put it so eloquently last August, "fiddle with a man"?
In the span of just a few decades, Americans have witnessed a timeless institution become wholly progressive. The evidence compiled by the Centre for Social Justice confirmed that the sexual revolution of the 1960s marked a decisive break with 200 years of conventional family structure. Prior to the 1960s, out of wedlock births were at low levels throughout the 19th century and stayed flat. Afterward, they soared from 5% to 45%. Cohabitation levels also soared – from under 5% pre-1945 to 90% today.
In other words, baby boomers really screwed things up.
Which brings us to the question that will plague us for years: How do we reverse the trend? We know the dissolution of the nuclear family will drain our economy to the point of no return. We also know that children brought up by single parents fare worse, on average, than those brought up by married parents — and that the emotional toll on children (and parents, for that matter) cannot be quantified. That does not mean there aren't single parents who do a great job of raising their kids or that some children of divorce don't emerge relatively unscathed. But it does mean — much to our chagrin — that the chances are slim.
Which is why the old-fashioned concept of a Mom, a Dad, a couple of kids, and a dog is still in society's best interest. "It is not our intention to suggest that all marriages in the past were happy and long-lasting," says lead CSJ researcher Dr. Samantha Callan.
But the fact that a number of marriages were brutal and fleeting should not obscure the centrality of marriage to family life.
And that, of course, is the point. It's not that divorce shouldn't be an option — it must be — but it should also not be the norm. Today, the only requirement for the married lifestyle is that people do what makes them happy. Perhaps that's the problem. Perhaps we should chuck this notion entirely and just go for contentment.
No doubt there'd be more happy children in the world.

No team would take David Lee's $80 million contract in any trade.
I disagree, he has value and quite a fair bit. It's worth trying and trying hard, but the team invested in him so they'll likely keep him
I, too, like David Lee; however, his $80 million contract ties up too much money into one player who does not address the need for an inside player.
He like Corey Maggette version 2 overrated for that contract. Warriors over paid for Maggette bidding against who? Warriors again overpaid for David lee bidding against who? Also added the draft picks and players for David lee with the huge contract. I like his rebounding and hustle like in OKC game he was going against Jeff Green who is a SF imo, but what does he do against KG not much. I understand Warriors valuing rebounding, consistency, and "leadership" in David Lee. The problem is we need an Great player who can make everyone better than they are which David Lee is being paid like he makes a difference against anyone he faces.

Artichoke Salad (Enginar Salatası)
Here is a light and tasty salad with one of the most work intensive vegetables. Artichokes taste wonderful, but cleaning out the outer, tough leaves to reach the edible part takes some time. This is one of the reasons why I choose not to cook with artichokes often. In addition, you buy two huge artichokes and end up with a little edible part. I do not purchase frozen or canned vegetables, so when I want to cook with artichokes I buy them fresh and go through the hassle of cleaning them and deciding which leaves are edible and which are not. Therefore, I have only cooked with artichokes only several times. Do you like cooking with fresh artichokes?
For Boiling Artichokes:
2 large artichokes
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp salt
For Salad Dressing:
Juice of ½ lemon
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil
Fill a large pot with water. Add juice of 1 lemon and 1 tsp salt in the water. In the mean time, wash and trim the artichokes. Remove the hard ends of the leaves and add the artichokes to the cold water so they do not take a brownish color.
Boil the artichokes for 30 minutes. Remove and cool. Remove the hard outer layers of the artichoke and select the softer parts of the leaves and the hearts. Place in a plate. Sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Enjoy with pasta.

Lovely delicate salad and well worth the trouble..though I do agree I too have found myself reluctant to follow up..though like you I choose not to resolve to frozen or canned..maybe it should be a symbol of working hard to reach the ''pearl" hehehehe :)thanx nihalcim for reminding me! :)Mia

AUSTIN, Texas — Oprah Winfrey confirmed this morning that Lance Armstrong came clean to her about his use of performance-enhancing drugs during their 2 1/2 hour interview Monday.
She says the cyclist was "forthcoming" as she asked him in detail about doping allegations that followed him throughout his seven Tour de France victories.
Speaking on "CBS This Morning," Winfrey said she had not planned to address Armstrong's confession before the interview aired on her OWN network but, "by the time I left Austin and landed in Chicago, you all had already confirmed it."
Winfrey interviewed Armstrong at a hotel in Austin. The session was to be broadcast on Thursday but Winfrey said it now will run in two parts over two nights because there is so much material.
Armstrong won every Tour from 1999 to 2005, but each of those titles was stripped last year as the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a massive report built around the testimony of former teammates. USADA accused Armstrong of masterminding a long-running and sophisticated doping operation on his teams.
The 41-year-old Armstrong vehemently denied the charges for years, and fiercely attacked his critics. But after losing his titles and being abandoned by corporate sponsors, he has changed course.

In June 1963 Mr. Grant went as
cinematographer on a Milwaukee
Public Museum expedition to An-gola,
Africa. After finishing this
assignment he remained in Africa
three months more to shoot his
own films, and in 1964 went back
to Africa again for a five month
one-man safari. During this time
he concentrated on photographing
lion and elephant.
"Cleve" Grant has been inter-ested
in wildlife since his boyhood
in western Wisconsin. He has early
memories of ruffed grouse, prairie
chicken, white-tailed deer, and the
adventures of fishing on the Chip-pewa
and Red Oedar Rivers.
He attended Oberlin College, and
following graduation, joined the
staff of Field Museum, now Chi-cago
Natural History Museum.
Since 1932, Mr. Grant's hobby of
filming wildlife has been his full-time
vocation. Among his many
contributions has been shot-in-the-wild

Instructor Analyzes China Turmoil;
Sees Opening Rift In Party System
the CLARION Thursday, March 9, 1967
To the students of Bethel College:
As academic Chairman, I believe that one of my responsibilities to
the student body is to publically state all grievances of students rele-vant
to our academic community. Through personal experience and
through informal discussion with other students, I have discovered
a department which has evinced a dubious reputation within the cur-riculum
of liberal arts. The department is Phsyical Education. The
accusations against it may be summarized by the term "pseudo-aca-demic."
Clarification is necessary.
The Physical Education department is pseudo-academic because it
uses grades which carry no honor points to acknowledge physical achieve-ments.
The Physical Education department is pseudo-academic because it
requires papers. I am not condemning the use of papers per se. There
is some justification in certain classes. But my attention has been
drawn to the inclusion of irrelevant topics within the papers, i.e. the
correlation between weightlifting and Christianity. Indeed, if the cor-relation
exists, then it is an interesting one; but if not, there has been
a misallocation of the student's time.
Other grievances which are directly and indirectly connected to
the student's academic pursuits have also come to my attention and,
likewise, to the attention of Student Senate.
Let it be known that I am not at all certain of the magnitude of
student's discontent or the extent of your grievances; therefore, I ask
that you notify me concerning any of your grievances and solutions. 1
am also very curious to know how many students are completely satis-fied
with the status quo.
Mr. Shields, instructor in Physical Education, has graciously con-sented
to represent the department in committee hearings. I do not,
however, want to impose upon him if the grievances are only those of
a select few. I must know if committee hearings and investigation are
warranted. Please contact we either on campus or phone me at home-
646-1198. I am interested in hearing both sides.
If I have misinterpreted student sentiment then a letter of apology
will follow. Should I be correct, however, then committee work will

In writing about the American involvement in
China from 1941 to 1947, the able scholar Herbert
Feis termed the situation the "China Tangle." China
watchers of today find the enigmatic East Asians
no less difficult to understand.
In the 1950's, for example, most analysts serenely
proclaimed that there would never be a serious
power struggle among the elite group surrounding
Mao Tse-tung, and yet the upheaval in China during
the last 18 months has focussed in this very group.
Any explanation of the current China, scene, there-fore,
must of necessity be quite tentative, but there
are a few preliminary perspectives which provide
some measure of insight into the current "cultural
First, it is abundantly clear that Mao Tse-tung
is the guiding force behind the Red Guards and the
`thought reform" of the intellectuals. Mao's motives
are less easily discerned, but it is quite probable
that he is seeking to recapture the revolutionary
fervor of the regime's earlier days and thereby
ensure that after his death he will not suffer the
same kind of character assasination which Stalin's
ghost encountered in the U.S.S.R. after 1956.
Second, the primary objects of Mao's campaign
the "technicians", i.e., those who are responsible
for keeping Chinese society on an even keel. In
any maturing totalitarian society, there is inevitable
conflict between the ideologues, who insist upon the
immutable veracity of their value system in all
situations, and the technicians, who recognize that
the ideology must change and adapt to meet prac-tical
problems of growth and development.
It is significant that the man most virulently
attacked by Mao and the Red Guards, Liu Shao-ch'i,
is the head of the governmental apparatus and that
the primary opposition to the outrages of the Red
Guards has come from Liu's lieutenants in the govern-ment.
Thus, the current upheaval in China may be
regarded, in part at least, as another example of
the conflict between those who must believe and those
who must act.
Third, the attacks on Liu Shao-ch'i are also sig-nificant
in that they reveal a split in the leader-by

The North Vietnamese have re-leased

is of the voice of a downed

say that there is no way of test-ing
the genuiness of the recording.

As Jesus once said, "Seek first

kernel of truth found in Adam

ship between pro- and anti-Soviet cliques. China
scholars have long speculated that the Moscow-trained
elite, of who Liu is most prominent, are
opposed to many of the programs sponsored by
Mao, who has been out of China only once and
who apparently still believes that China is the
center of the universe.
Until the "cultural revolution" there had been
no significant evidence to support this theory, but
now it appears that there indeed is a split between
rabidly "ethnocentric" leaders such as Mao and more
cosmopolitan leaders such as Liu. The implications
of this for Sino-Soviet relations are great indeed, since
which clique triumphs determines in large part
what kind of foreign policy the Chinese will pursue.
Finally, some of the most interesting and per-plexing
features of the power struggle are the super-ficial
parallels with the evolution of the Russian
Communist state. The Chinese purge, for example,
began just 17 years after the founding of the regime.
The comparable stage in the Soviet Union, the great
purges of 1934-1938, also began just 17 years after
the Bolshevik takeover in 1917.
In both cases, the subjects of the purge were
members of the elite ruling group, and Mao, like
Stalin in the 1930's, appears to be seeking to
solidify both his present rule and his future
reputation through the purges. Furthermore, ex-tremism
in both rhetoric and practice is being
used today in China as it was in Russia in the 1930's.
If these and other parallels are significant and in-dicate
a common pattern of development, then it is
possible that the "technicians" will survive the cur-rent
turmoil and eventually triumph in China as
they have in Russia, and that Chinese Communism
will moderate even as the Soviet Union's has. In this
event, the current chaos in China will appear to fu-ture
historians as only a phase—albeit an unfortunate
one—in the evolution of the Chinese state toward
rationality, and not as the great Armageddon of
Communist rule in China. It is not likely, then, that
the Communist regime will fail as a result of the
"cultural revolution;" rather, it is likely that after
Mao's death there will be significant moderation in
the ideology and practice of Chinese Communism.
The "China Tangle" of today is significant, then,
not because it indicates the weakness or decadence
of the Communist regime, but because it is a critical
stage in the agonizing evolution of a totalitarian
state toward domestic maturity and international

Student Interest Groups
Parade Of Appurtenance
It is appalling how little time people have! On closer look,
however, the careful inverstigator will be impressed with the
proportionate number of defunct organizations which live
solely in campus files, calendars, and publications. It would
not be hard to cite five or six campus organizations which
seem to have a thriving membership but have little or no
active program.
The liberal arts college, by comparison to a large univer-sity
is at a decided disadvantage. A teeming university has
enough odd balls in the crowd to maintain healthy competition
for campus offices and places of leadership. In contrast,
the liberal arts college is habituated by well-adjusted, normal,
well-rounded people that have no desire to champion flag-ging
interest organizations.
Consequently, the liberal arts college if it is not careful
will become cluttered with large numbers of clubs that have
lost their inertia. These clubs become deadweight barnacles
to interest pursuit of any kind. Students at Bethel have not
been outspoken or honest enough to maintain a dialectic club
program which caters to the changing campus interests.
Organizations are for people, people are not for organi-zations.
To those who find organizations an apology for re-sponsibility,
as well as for those who are trapped in a rigid
system of interest clubs, we must take a second look at the
usefulness and desirability of present groups that shelter the
indolent and retard development of new more exciting groups.

Band Performs Exciting Concert
For Middling Fieldhouse Crowd
Last Friday night, March 3, the
Bethel College Band presented a
delightful concert to an audience
about the size of chapel at mid-semester
test time (and even that
is stretching it a bit).
Not dismayed by the slim crowd,
however, the band did a superb
job. This was one of the most var-ied
and colorful concerts I have
had the privilege of attending.
From the solemn beauty of "A-bide
With Me" to the exciting
sounds of "La Rosita", the concert
offered something of interest to
almost every personal preference
and mood.
An introduction to each selec-tion
was given by Dale Cope, help-ing
the audience to appreciate the
music even more. (And if one were
trying to write a Fine Arts con-cert
report, it would have been
particularly beneficial.)
The percussion section, consist-ing
of twice as many instruments
as performers, ably fulfilled its
opportunity to star in several num-bers,
notably "La Rosita", which
featured bongo drums among other
unique instruments.
An excellent job was also done
by Karen Newcomb and John Hop-kins,
who performed Mendelssohn's
"Concertpiece for Two Clarinets"
Thanks to Mr. Whitinger and the
band for a very enjoyable concert.

Publishers Gamble On Paperbacks;
Sock College Students For Setbacks
Why are textbooks so expensive,
asks Western Michigan University's
"Western Herald?" Is it the fault
of the university-owned "non-pro-fit"
bookstore whose prices are as
high as those of the profit-making
biokstores? Is the publishing in-dustry
to blame?
Both contribute to the situation,
the Western Herald concluded, but
the greater culprit, without a
doubt, is the publishing industry.
Time magazine recently revealed
that the book industry relies on
textbooks and children's books to
support gambling losses on adult
grade books.
All the major publishers, Time
said, "print text and reference
books, as well as children's
books, which are dependable
moneymakers. Their profitable
textbook and paperback opera-tions
enable them to gamble on
adult trade books— which as a
rule lose money." One publisher
estimated ehat "60% of adult
trade books end up in the red,
another 36% break even, and
only 4% turn a decent profit."
Should students be forced to
bear the brunt of the industry's
losses and non-profits? Publishers
are fully aware that they have the
students over a barrel since stu-dents
must buy particular required
There are two possible solutions
to the dilemma. On a local level,

some type of competitive selling
of new texts. We can buy every-thing

The freshmen party could not
have taken place on a better day
—weatherwise. Those who attended
were greeted by an afternoon of
almost perfect March weather. The
weather heightened the pursuit of
the varied activities. Everyone tried
his hand at skiing or sliding—us-ing
the usual vehicles. Then all
gathered in the seminary gymnas-ium
to round off the afternoon in
several games of volleyball. The
refreshments that treated these
hearty ones were doughnuts, hot
chocolate, and hot dogs. All ate to
heart's—er, stomach's delight.
The only dampener to the day's
fun and activities, was the attend-ance.
Only 25 kids showed up—in-cluding,
believe it or not, all of
the freshman class officers. Why
the poor attendance? It was a
shame that more were not able to
attend. They missed out on some
great fun and food.

I'm sure it has not escaped your notice that underlying
the adorable whimsy which has made this column such a
popular favorite among my wife and my little dog Spot,
there is a serious attempt to stay abreast of the problems
that beset the American college student.
Many a trip have I made to many a campus—talking to
undergraduates, listening to their troubles, hearing their
grievances, reading their buttons. (Incidentally, the sec-ond
and third most popular buttons I saw on my last trip
were : "WALLACE BEERY LIVES" and "FLUORI-DATE
MUSCATEL." The first most popular button was,
as we all know, "SCRAP THE SCRAPE" which is worn,
as we all know, by Personna Super Stainless Steel Blade
users who, as we all know, are proud to proclaim to the
world that they have found a blade which gives them
luxury shave after luxury shave, which comes both in
double-edge style and Injector style, which does indeed
scrap the scrape, negate the nick, peel the pull, and oust
the ouch, which shaves so closely and quickly and truly
and beautifully that my heart leaps to tell of it. (If per-haps
you think me too effusive about Personna, I ask you
to remember that to me Personna is more than just a
razor blade ; it is also an employer.)
But I digress. I make frequent trips, as I say, to learn
what is currently vexing the American undergraduate.
Last week, for example, while visiting a prominent Eas-tern
university (Idaho State) I talked to a number of
engineering seniors who posed a serious question. Like
all students, they had come to college burning to fill them-selves
with culture, but, alas, because of all their science
requirements, they simply had had no time to take the
liberal arts courses their young souls lusted after. "Are
we doomed," they asked piteously, "to go through life
uncultured ?"
I answered with a resounding "No !" I told them the
culture they had missed in college, they would pick up
after graduation. I explained that today's enlightened
corporations are setting up on-the-job liberal arts pro-grams
for the newly employed engineering graduate—
courses designed to fill his culture gap—for the truly en-lightened
corporation realizes that the truly cultured em-ployee
is the truly valuable employee.
To illustrate, I cited the well-known case of Champert
Sigafoos of Purdue.
When Champert, having completed his degree in wing
nuts and flanges, reported to the enlightened corporation
where he had accepted employment, he was not rushed
forthwith to a drawing board. He was first installed in
the enlightened corporation's training campus. Here he
was given a beanie, a room-mate, and a copy of the com-pany
rouser, and the enlightened corporation proceeded
to fill the gap in his culture.
First he was taught to read, then to print capital let-ters,
then capital and small letters. (There was also an
attempt to teach him script, but it was ultimately
From these fundamentals, Champert progressed slowly
but steadily through the more complex disciplines. He
was diligent, and the corporation was patient, and in the
end they were well rewarded, for when Champert fin-ished,
he could play a clavier, parse a sentence, and name
all the Electors of Bavaria.
Poised and cultured, Champert was promptly placed in
an important executive position. I am pleased to report
that he served with immense distinction—not, however,
for long because three days later he reached retirement

All that is left to remind us of winter athletics is a dirty
blanket of snow, but before packing them away in mothballs, a
few reflections are perhaps due on the wrestling team. The
1966-67 edition of the wrestlers found rough going most of
the season, but ended with a flourish by taking two of their last
One of the basic causes of the lean year was the absence
of returning nucleus of lettermen. Although replacing personnel
losses from graduation or other causes is a problem every team
must face to some degree, relatively few squads must face a
100% turnover. However, when injuries gleaned the last two
returning lettermen from the squad well before the season's
midpoint, this was exactly the situation that faced the Bethelites.
With the number of experienced grapplers from last
year's squad reduced to zero, the season-long personnel short-age
became even more critical. Seldom could Coach Al Taylor
field a full team. In several meets forfeits handed the oppo-sition
its winning points.
Like a soap opera, however, everything turned out on the
brighter side as the matmen won a couple of squeakers for a
season finishing taste of victory. But even more satisfying than
the victorious finish is the prospect of winning seasons in the
near future.
This year's squad was composed primarily of freshmen,
with a sprinkling of upper classmen. Many of the grapplers
had not wrestled previously. Since experience is one of the most
important factors in winning wrestling, the lack of this was one
of the problems which had to be faced. The number shortage
forced inexperienced men into actual competition by necessity.
Although this didn't result in many wins for the Royals, the
experience it yielded should prove valuable in the future.
Several freshmen turned in fine performances in their
initial collegiate efforts. Bob Olsen, besides running up a
sparkling 16-0 record, was a team leader. Barry Anderson
was another consistent performer, compiling the second best
won-lost record on the squad.
In the lighter weights Dan Versaw and Steve Anderson
provided the Royals with two more frosh letter winners. John
Griffiths helped out in the upper weights, his wrestling prowess
only exceeded by the brilliance of his wit.
Having established a "freshman nucleus" this season, it
appears that the Royals should be able to pad the victory column
with a few more wins each winter for several years in the near
future—starting next December.
