Our story began back in August of 1957, when Sioux Chief Mfg. Co. Inc. was founded and incorporated by the late Martin E. "Ed" Ismert, Jr., in an attempt to smooth the boom-bust housing cycle experienced by his plumbing wholesale supply company. Sioux Chief got its start packaging specialty fasteners and other items geared toward residential plumbing jobs. In the early '60s, Ed borrowed the idea of spinning copper tube closed for simple air chambers and adapted it for stub outs which could be used by plumbers. This preformed copper tube saved plumbers from sweat soldering tube caps onto their copper tube for water shock and test-off purposes. By 1975 a heavy emphasis on sales and new product development began when Ed's two eldest sons purchased the corporation and took over operations. Since then Sioux Chief has welcomed the third generation of family members to the team and has introduced a wide range of innovative products. Sioux Chief began its operations in a 3,000 square foot third floor area of Double I Supply, a plumbing wholesaler in the Kansas City, Kansas, West River Bottoms, from 1957 to 1967. After moving to Kansas City, Missouri, from 1967 to 1969, Sioux Chief grew into a 10,000 square foot building in Grandview, Missouri, from 1970 until 1983. In 1983, the corporation purchased its own building for the first time, a 23,000 square foot plant, warehouse, and office south of Peculiar, Missouri. Today this plant/warehouse/office has grown to occupy more than 300,000 square feet on 140 acres.

"If I'd like to do anything else in my life other than take care of my family, it would be to raise the consciousness of those who are forgetting about poor and middle class people."
With more than 30 years of experience as an attorney, Marianne Koral Smythe '63 has assumed many professional roles, including working at the prestigious national law firm of WilmerHale since 1993, being a tenured professor at the University of North Carolina School of Law, and doing a two and a half year stint as the Director of the Division of Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Her career was recently recognized when she was selected one of the "Best Lawyers in America 2006."
The reason behind her success is deceptively simple: Smythe brings to the table years of professional commitment. This quality has played an important role not only in her professional life, but also in her personal life. "When I came to Bucknell in 1959 from my home in Queens, N.Y., I didn't know what to expect, and I was somewhat ill prepared for the experience. But Bucknell opened my eyes. I learned about the world beyond the Hudson and that not everyone was, or necessarily liked, a New Yorker," recalls Smythe, whose nickname is Chickie.
"Bucknell changed my life. First, and most importantly, I met my husband, Bob '63, at Bucknell. Second, even after 40 years, I recall the extraordinary quality of undergraduate instruction. I was exposed to some of the best teachers anyone could ever hope to have."
Bob and Marianne married eight days after graduation. "Soon after, we joined the Peace Corps and went to Nigeria for two years. When we returned, Bob studied ecology at the University of North Carolina, and I studied, and then taught, law."
After Chapel Hill, her path back to Washington was relatively direct. "I worked with dedicated people at the SEC, whose mission was to keep the markets fair and safe." Joining WilmerHale was another career milestone. "I feel very lucky to be at this firm, with such fine lawyers like Lloyd Cutler and John Pickering, people who exemplify the best in their profession."
Looking back on her career, Smythe says, "I'm not through yet, but neither do I feel I have any hills to climb. If I'd like to do anything else in my life other than take care of my family, it would be to raise the consciousness of those who are forgetting about poor and middle class people."
Despite all the accolades and professional awards, Smythe says that by far the most important thing in her life — and what she is most proud of — is her family: her husband, two daughters, and four "adorable" grandchildren.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Western Australia and other Australian topics.
State (1991 pop. 1,409,965), 975,920 sq mi (2,527,633 sq km), Australia, comprising the entire western part of the continent. It is bounded on the N, W, and S by the Indian Ocean. Perth is the capital. Other important cities are Kalgoorlie, a gold-mining center; Fremantle, the chief port; and Bunbury, a port S of Perth. Western Australia is the largest state of the commonwealth, but only its southwest corner is fertile and substantially settled; the rest is arid and scarcely habitable. Half the population lives in the Perth metropolitan area. Western Australia's population of Australian aborigines numbers about 25,000. State-owned goldfields cover much of Western Australia, and there is a vast central desert. The King Leopold, Hamersley, and Stirling ranges are actually high plateaus. The large lakes in the interior are usually dry, and the northern rivers (the Fortescue, Fitzroy, and Ashburton) are intermittent; the only important river is the Swan in the southwest. The climate is tropical in the north and temperate in the southwest. Agriculture is confined primarily to the southwest and around Perth. About one half of the cultivated land is in wheat. Sheep graze in the north and southwest, and wool is a major product. Meat, dairy products, and timber are also important. The mining of iron, gold, and bauxite has played a major role in the state's economy for many years. Industry expanded significantly during the 1960s; industrial metals, machinery, and transportation equipment are the main manufactures. Dirck Hartog, a Dutchman who arrived in 1616, was the first white man known to have visited the coast. A penal colony was founded at Albany in 1826, and the first free settlement was established in the Perth-Fremantle area in 1829. During the 1850s, Britain sent some 10,000 convicts to aid the settlers, most of whom had migrated from E Australia. In the 1860s the first livestock farmers arrived in the northwest. Gold was discovered in the 1880s. Governed at first by New South Wales, Western Australia received its own governor in 1831 and a full constitution as a separate colony in 1890. In 1901 it became a state of the Commonwealth of Australia. The state government consists of a premier, a cabinet, and a bicameral parliament. The nominal chief executive is the governor, appointed by the British crown on advice of the cabinet.

Animated movies like �Arthur Christmas� or �The Polar Express� are designed to spark holiday cheer either through slapstick comedy or the marvels of the season. They have some tense moments to create drama � but never to the point of distraction.
Animated movies like �Arthur Christmas� or �The Polar Express� are designed to spark holiday cheer either through slapstick comedy or the marvels of the season. They have some tense moments to create drama � but never to the point of distraction.
There are too many distractions in �Rise of the Guardians� to make this a holiday treat for the entire family. It�s a dark tale that is too intense for young viewers and maybe even a few older moviegoers.
The film, based on �The Guardians of Childhood� books by William Joyce, reveals that North (Alec Baldwin), better known as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), The Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher) and the Sandman (no voice actor; he never speaks) have a bigger calling than just providing gifts, eggs, quarters and sweet dreams. They�ve been charged by the Man in the Moon with the task of watching over all of the children of the world.
They need help when Pitch (Jude Law) � better known as the Bogeyman � shows up to bring misery to children everywhere. The impetuous Jack Frost (Chris Pine) is recruited to fight the evil darkness that�s trying to children non-believers.
Director Peter Ramsey created a film with two distinct halves.
Parts of the movie are light and funny, especially those scenes with a group of goofy elves. There�s a silliness to this part of the story that makes it the kind of fun entertainment people search for during the hustle of the holidays.
Then there�s the efforts of Pitch to ruin some of the major things that makes childhood bearable. Each foreboding moment � from death to despair � drags the movie further away from the holiday spirit. That darkness eventually eclipses the fun aspects of the story.
The film is beautifully shot, but it fails to find the right story tone to fit the gorgeous look.
And the film is all over when it comes to voice talent. Jackman�s perfect as the Rambo-like Easter Bunny and Law brings the perfect sinister tone to Pitch. But the casting of Pine as the young Jack Frost is a nightmare. His voice sounds far too old for Frost, which is jarring each time he speaks.
Ramsey also has trouble with pacing. There are several sequences � including the efforts of the Guardians to replace lost teeth, placed under pillows, with coins � that run past the point of entertainment to tedium. It would have been better use of time to spend a few more scenes with the elves � a wasted comic relief element.
�Rise of the Guardian� has its moments � both good and bad. It�s like getting a pair of socks as a Christmas gift. It could be worse. It could be better.
Grade: C-plus
Rated PG for scary sequences. Stars Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Jude Law, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher. Directed by Peter Ramsey. Running time: 1 hour, 37 minutes.

Brussels, 27 January 2011
EU law: Commission acts to ensure that European legislation is fully and properly implemented
Infringement package : overview of press releases
In its monthly package of infringement decisions, the European Commission is pursuing legal action against 27 Member States for failing to comply properly with their obligations under EU law. These decisions cover many sectors. They aim at ensuring proper application of EU law for the benefit of citizens and businesses. The Commission has taken today 225 decisions, including 10 complaints taking Member States before the European Union's Court of Justice. In this package no decisions related to failure to respect a previous Court ruling, with financial penalties, have been adopted.
Formal complaints before the Court of Justice (Art 258)
In accordance with the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the Commission has decided today to take several Member States to Court for failing to comply with their legal obligations under EU law. Before referring a Member State to the Court, the Commission first requests information from the Member State concerned and then, if necessary, formally requests the Member State to comply with EU law. Around 95% of infringement cases are resolved before they reach the Court.
Taxation (Czech Republic/ Finland/ France/ Greece/ Italy/ Poland/ Portugal/ Spain): The Commission has decided to refer the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain to the EU's Court of Justice for failing to properly implement EU VAT rules for travel agents. The Directive contains special provisions (the so-called "special margin scheme") for travel agents when they sell travel packages to travellers. However, the Member States being referred to Court on this matter have implemented these special provisions incorrectly, leading to distortions in competition between travel agents. See IP/11/76
Distance marketing of financial services (Sweden): The Commission has decided to refer Sweden to the EU Court of Justice for inadequate transposition of the Directive concerning the distance marketing of consumer financial services into their national law. The Commission considers that Sweden has failed to sufficiently protect consumers' rights in transposing the Directive. See IP/11/98
Environment (Greece): The Commission is referring Greece to the European Court of Justice for its failure to protect Lake Koroneia, an internationally important wetland in the region of Thessaloniki. The lake has been seriously affected by pollution and illegal water extraction, with serious consequences for local fauna and flora. Although a comprehensive plan is in place to rehabilitate the lake, with many actions partly financed by EU funds, progress has been slow. See IP/11/89
Enforcing Court rulings
When, despite a first ruling by the Court, a Member State still fails to act, the Commission warns the Member State in writing. In case of continued lack of appropriate action by the Member State, the Commission may take the Member State back to Court, and can request the Court to impose a lump sum penalty and/or a daily penalty payment on the Member State concerned. This procedure is based on Article 260 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Background on legal process
Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFUE) gives the Commission the power to take legal action against a Member State that is not respecting its obligations under EU law.
The infringement procedure begins with a request for information (a "Letter of Formal Notice") to the Member State concerned, which must be answered within a specified period, usually two months.
If the Commission is not satisfied with the information and concludes that the Member State in question is failing to fulfil its obligations under EU law, the Commission may then send a formal request to comply with EU law (a "Reasoned Opinion"), calling on the Member State to inform the Commission of the measures taken to comply within a specified period, usually two months.
If a Member State fails to ensure compliance with EU law, the Commission may then decide to refer the Member State to the Court of Justice. However, in over 90% of infringement cases, Member States comply with their obligations under EU law before they are referred to the Court. If the Court rules against a Member State, the Member State must then take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment.
If, despite the ruling, a Member State still fails to act, the Commission may open a further infringement case under Article 260 of the TFEU, with only one written warning before referring the Member State back to Court. If the Commission does refer a Member State back to Court, it can propose that the Court imposes financial penalties on the Member State concerned based on the duration and severity of the infringement and the size of the Member State (both a lump sum depending on the time elapsed since the original Court ruling and a daily penalty payment for each day after a second Court ruling until the infringement ends).

If you've been anywhere near a computer, there's a good chance you've seen the internet's latest phenomenon, the Harlem Shake. The first few videos gained such resounding approval from the deep web that a format was created and hundreds of videos were made and uploaded.
Usually, I'm not into the social media hype, but there's something about the Harlem Shake that is strangely attractive. First started in New York by a man named Albee, the dance became popular through various artists and music videos, even possibly inspiring the chicken noodle soup. Albee stated that it was "a drunken shake anyway, it's an alcoholic shake, but it's fantastic, everybody appreciates it."
But what's most interesting about the format isn't the dancing person wearing a motorcycle helmet or the completely random "dances" performed by people in their underwear. It seems most people took the format to heart and included, as one of the key elements, video games.
|Some of the most popular ones feature people playing.
Sometimes, memes tend to reflect real life, with a purpose of transferring information. Here, we have a few people, sitting around in a living room playing video games. What can the inclusion of video games in the Harlem Shake say about gaming? Well, for one, it's quickly becoming a household staple. Maybe even a routine part of some of our lives.
The term meme originated from the word gene, once defined as a unit of cultural transmission, imitation, and replication. Even though the context has changed, it still functions as it once did. The Harlem Shake perpetuates gaming culture, including its stereotypes(have yet to find a video featuring a girl holding a controller), creative freedom, bonding properties, and fun. The videos are universal, producing creations from anywhere with an internet connection.
The Harlem Shake spawned many gaming related videos, featuring Slender Man, Nintendo, and Minecraft. No subject remains untouched, but there are quite a few referring to video games and notable characters. And yes, they're all rather funny, with this one being a community feat.
These small windows in your browser offer a glance into the lives of others, allowing us to see what we have in common.
And of course...
I'll just leave this here....

No, in this post you will not find the algorithm of entertainment, the theorem of thrills or the postulate of pleasure. But you will find details on how one unlikely game may, accidentally, calculate fun.
The game is Dante's Inferno, EA's enjoyable and lurid re-imagining of the classic poem. The application of a possible mathematical formula for fun will be available in late April, when the game's owners can download an expansion pack called The Trials Of St. Lucia.
Players can create and modify battle sequences in the new expansion, generating up to 150 waves of locked-room battle challenges full of enemies and traps for one or two players to fight through. The game will score these challenges using a semi-secret algorithm. If the score isn't high enough, the levels the player creates won't be allowed onto EA's servers for other gamers to download.
Why not? It seemed, when I first heard about it, because the game had the amazing ability to determine if the levels were interesting enough, if the player had done a good job, if the player, perhaps, had made them fun enough.
On our Kotaku podcast yesterday, Dante's Inferno producer Hans ten Cate explained just what the game will actually be calculating:
"We have the notion that, as you put more things in your challenge [level], whether it's more enemies or you tune their difficulty, there is a point value you'll see in the corner of your screen. It goes up a tick every time you make your trial either a little longer or a little harder. And that point value will be the points the players earn if they beat your challenge. So you're basically setting the conditions of the game."
When this feature had first been explained to me, a couple of weeks ago, I was told that sequences that players create that have fewer than 500 points won't be uploaded. So much for rendering a version of Hell in which very little happens, a sort of poetic treatise on the Hellish despair of dull life. It seems that would not score me the 500 points to share.
What to make of this formula, though?
"I'd like to think, as you said, that this algorithm we're using underneath actually computes the fun," ten Cate told me, "because if we actually nailed that, a mathematical formula that derives what fun is, I'd want to patent that."
Sadly, we'll have to still stick with human beings to determine what is fun. Or will we? The possibly Nobel-prize winning fun-determining Trials of St. Lucia will be out in late April. And if that thing can prevent things that are not fun from being shared online, well, EA, congratulations!

This wonderful photo from a relative of my husband.
He's my husband's great-grandfather, William Samuel St John. I had found him in the 1861 census as a boy in Devon, and in the 1881 census as a waiter in an in near Bishopsgate in London, but this certainly isn't a waiters uniform. Finally found him in the 1871 census as a Boy 1st Class on HMS Foudroyant – he was way down the search results as the given name was entered as "Willm". At the time of this picture Foudroyant was being used for gunnery training. Here she is in 1817, very smart.
She doesn't look quite so smart here, at the end of her life.
I haven't found his full Navy career yet, or found when he moved to London. He died in 1893, aged only 39, in Dartford, Kent. His daughter Lilian St John was my husband's maternal grandmother.

He is said to have claimed that it took him fifteen years to learn to paint like a man and the rest of his life to learn to paint as a child. And, certainly, there is a childlike quality to Picasso's work. There is a playfulness and an obnoxious disregard for "rules" that we find both delightful and yet disturbing. Even though he's now been dead for 25 years and his life's work stands as a whole, we still have the uneasy feeling we're not sure what he might do next. Yet, despite his seeking after childishness, there was never a man who explored art more seriously.
Picasso's exploration of art was surprisingly straightforward. He learned all the rules, then he systematically explored all the ways to break them. He learned to create the illusion of volume then he deliberately learned how to flatten it. If you study his work, you can trace very nearly a step-by-step progression from realism through Cubism, stopping just short of non-representational abstract expressionism. When people think of Picasso, abstraction comes to mind, but with abstraction comes a lack of rules, and Picasso loved rules, because without the "rules" of art, he had nothing to bend or break.

WINDER, Ga. - Authorities say a toddler is in critical condition after a large limb from a tree struck him in the head at his daycare center in the northeast Georgia town of Winder.
Winder Fire Chief Matt Whiting tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that 2-year-old Tripp Halstead was on the playground of the center when the limb crashed onto a fence and then struck the boy Monday.
Whiting says the limb was 12 to 14 feet long and likely weighed several hundred pounds.
The boy's aunt, Crystal Condon, tells WSB-TV that the limb cracked the boy's skull, and doctors had to perform brain surgery. He's being treated at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
High winds fueled by Hurricane Sandy were blowing through much of northeast Georgia at the time.

WASHINGTON TERRACE — Bonneville pitcher Nicole Gross ripped a hit to right field that on most days, against most teams, would have been an RBI single.
But against Spanish Fork, that hit became a fielder's choice, as right fielder McKenzie Packard made a perfect throw home so sophomore catcher Whitney Perkins could tag Maddi Keesler out at the plate.
"I like my defense," said Spanish Fork head coach Don Andrews after the top-ranked 3A team defeated the Lakers 14-6 on a chilly Wednesday afternoon in May. "We'll make a few errors, but we make a lot of errors because we can get to the ball." In other words, the errors will come from too much effort.
"We'll throw a few over the moon," Andrews said with a smile. "But I would say defense is probably our strength."
And while the Dons' defense served them well in Wednesday's nonregion win against one of 4A's top teams, it was the Dons' offense that looked ready perform in the postseason.
The Dons had five doubles and three home runs — two of which were grand slams.
The Lakers scored two runs in the first inning, and it was the Dons' defense that got them out of a bases-loaded situation in that frame. Neither team scored until the fourth inning, with the Dons earning three runs when Packard hit what looked like a triple, but she was tagged out at third base for the inning's second out.
The Lakers responded with another run to tie the game at 3-3 as Sheyenne Keesler scored in the bottom of the fourth.
In the fifth inning the Dons started with a single by Mariah Peterson, followed by a bunt by Dani Perkins and a walk from Brooke Davis. The bases were loaded when Cheyenne Pratt came to bat and hit a grand slam — into the wind — over the left-field fence.
"I just swung hard," she said. "I felt it got us going."
With what McKinley Brinkerhoff, who's also known as "Lizard," calls "insurance runs," the team played more aggressively on defense and on offense.
"We've been kind of slow-starting this year," said Andrews. "Today I thought we were getting decent swings. When you get good swings, something is bound to happen. That's all we can ask of them."
Both coach and players said part of the reason for the slow starts is adjusting to the speed and style of each pitcher.
"Every game it does take us awhile, and we have to warm up to each and every pitcher because they're all different," said Packard. "The first couple of errors (made by Spanish Fork) made me a little nervous, but I knew we would pull through. We always do."
Packard said she didn't hesitate to throw that ball home because that's just the way the Dons play defense.
"We just needed to get the runners out," she said. "I've done it once or twice. There was no hesitation because when you're more aggressive there is a better chance to get them out."
Pitcher Kelsey Christensen earned the win for the Dons, although Spanish Fork changed pitchers for the last two batters when the Lakers started hitting the ball and scoring runs. Mykel Davis knocked in two runs with a single up the middle and then Gross walked, prompting the change.
The final out came when Madeline Jensen was tagged out stealing second.
"Sometimes we're really good," said Andrews. "And sometimes we're bad. The one constant has been our defense. We've had good defense the whole season. It's just that sometimes we forget what a bat is for."

Speech by President
Is Key to Debate Topics
By Gunner Hoglund
Many students listened to Presi-dent
Roosevelt's message to Con-gress
on Monday, January 6, but
few listened as attentively as the
members of our debate squad. This
declaration of America's stand in
world politics had a great influ-ence
on the debate question of this
year which is centered about
whether or not we should form a
permanent alliance with the rest
of the nations of the Western
Hemisphere. For several weeks the
debaters have been working bard
and the squad has been divided
into separate teams which oppose
each other on alternate sires of
the question.

In Sunny Southland
Editor's Note: The following
letter was received from Miss
Enid Platts upon our request for
an account of her recent trip
through the South.
Sebring, Florida
January 1, 1941.
Dear Marvin:
I can't possibly write you about
all of the beauties of this South-land,
but am going to mention a
few of the highlights.
We drove straight south from
Chicago to Nashville, Tennessee.
Nashville is known as a university
city, frequently being called the
Athens of the South. From Nash-ville
we motored to Chatanooga.
Missionary Ridge, across from
Look out Mountain, the ridge of
Civil War renown, was illuminat-ed
by a large lighted star, a Christ-mas
star of peace. We saw some
of the chimneys which remain
from the burning of the homes
during Sherman's march from At-lanta,
to the sea. The people now
call them Sherman's sentinels. The
national cemeteries along the way
are stark testimonies to the cost
of settling difficulties by means of
physical conflict. I had seen these
cemeteries when I drove through
Georgia six years ago, but they
have a more sinister meaning now.
och dopp" after the game in the
Coffee Shop has also been inaugur-ated.
Contests Are Scheduled
The next month will see many
speedh activities in debate, ora-tory,
extempore speaking and in-terpretative
reading. On Friday,
January 17; at 8:00 in the College
Chapel, the Junior College Club
will hold its January meeting. Both
men and women can participate
and are invited to take part in this
contest which offers valuable plat-form
experience. The subject for
the men deals with aid to farm-ers;
and for the women, a perma-nent
policy of federal relief. Win-ners
of each will go to Fargo to
participate in the Red River Val-ley
Tournament the first week in
On January 28, the preliminary
oratorical and interpretive reading
contests will be held with the fin-als
on February 3. The College
Club will sponser this meet and
Dale Bjork, president, invites all
who wish to participate to make
arrangements with Miss Platts as
soon as possible.
Industries and occupation always
interest me. We passed through
many cotton milling towns, poor
little places with row after row of
houses built alike, and brightly
colored chenille cotton goods flung
from lines in order to attract the
tourist's attention, and pocket-book.
In southern Tennessee,
northern Georgia, and Alabama
some cotton was still standing in
the red clay fields. Also in Georgia
were the pecan groves that pro-duce
the paper shelled pecans. In
southern Georgia and northern
Florida grow the longleaf and slash
pine that produce our turpentine
and resin. As interesting to me as
the industries themselves were
the colored people who make them
And then Florida, fascinating
and tropical, with her trees, flow-ers,
birds, fruits, fish, sea, sand,
and beautiful skies and lakes. The
live oaks hung with their silvery
gray Spanish moss, the water cy-press,
and the graceful palms
helped to make my dreams of the
Indian jungles become a reality in
Florida. Flowers are many. The
brilliant poinsettias, hibiscus,
flame vine, and bougainvillia grow
in abundance, and make a thing of
beauty out of an old house, dead
tree, or rustic fence. Water birds
haunt the Everglades. Heron,
egrets, and wood ibis went uncon-

Bethel Noses Out
Waldorf 48-42
Stretching their winning streak
to two games, the Bethel cage
quint defeated a strong Waldorf
aggregation Saturday evening to
the tune of 48-42. All throughout
the game the locals held a com-manding
lead, until the last three
minutes, when Waldorf overcame
a six point deficit, with three
speedy "buckets," and knotted the
score at 38 all. Action after that
was fast and furious, and some-times
desperate. "Red" Marquardt
slipped in two shots that put the
Red and White ahead. After that,
Bethel was never in danger. Three
baskets were added to the score
for us to make sure of the game.
Bob Beck, who played his sec-ond
game of basketball as either a
reserve or regular showed definite
improvement over the previous
evening's game. He was good un-der
the defensive bucket, taking
many of the rebounds, and thus
starting scoring plays. Gene Ny-man
was high point man of the
evening, with a grand total of 19
points. Reinertson, Waldorf cen-ter,
was next with sixteen. "Shine"
Swanson had fifteen.
Van Haitsma's 'Wings'
Enjoyed by Students
By Betty Anderson
"Swift as a bird in flight" fit-tingly
describes the airplanes of
today as they were shown in beau-tiful
natural colors to a full chapel
by Walter van Haitsma, noted as
an authority on aeronautical sub-jects.
He brought out the many
different phases in the field of
aviation and also the requirements
for the different positions connect-ed
with it. One thing that was
particularly interesting to the stu-dents
was the necessity of good
clean living and clear thinking by
the men.
The lecture was closed with sev-eral
scenes of striking sunsets and
unique sunrises which brought a
volley of exclamations from all
parts of the audience.
February Is Named
Bethel Loyalty Month
February has been designated by
the board of directors of Bethel In-stitute
as Bethel Loyalty Montn to
be especially observed Sunday,
February 2, when pastor graduates
of Bethel will exchange pulpits to
commemorate the day. This will
be the case throughout the entire
Swedish Baptist Convention.

Propaganda? Not in U. S. A.!!!
Look in your newspapers; see if
you can find it. When you pick up
tonight's paper look at the pic-tures
and the headlines. I have
not yet seen that paper, but this is
my guess of what you will find in
it: Stories of German bombings
of London's hospitals, churches,
libraries, or buildings of historical
interest; maybe a picture of desti-tute
family look at the wreckage
of their home. Smiling soldiers and
steadily advancing tanks may be
expected in the views showing
Britain's army, on the job. The col-umnists
may declare the need of
American vitamin' candy for Brit-ish
children or airplanes for the
R. A. F. This clear picture of the
War and England will be in to-night's
American newspapers.
Not only are we careful to give
readers the picture of Great Brit-ain
and the war, but we also have the
German picture. In this way you
are sure to get a true conception
of the whole situation.
Now, what can we expect to see
on the German-Italian side? The
It. A. F. will most likely have
bombed a series of strictly military
objectives. The German children
must have plenty to eat, as there
is no mention to the contrary. The
German munitions manufacturers
don't need our aid. The Ethiopian
army will have relieved a certain
number of Italian soldiers of the
necessity for continuing their half-hearted
defense. Though there may
not be as many pictures of the ef-fects
of bombing on German cities,
there is likely to be a picture of a
munitions factory in flames. In
fact, a whole city may be a blazing
inferno. Of course, you couldn't get
a picture of destitute families and
falling cathedrals in such a heat,
but couldn't pictures be 'taken aft-er
the charred slum districts are
cooled off a bit and the hospitals
have ceased pouring smoke from
shattered windows? Maybe it
wouldn't be news any more.
Propaganda? Not in U. S. A.!!!
In our zeal to protect democracy,
let us not forget the principles
basic to its existence. Freedom of
mind and thought, the privilege of
the people to think for themselves.
Luther Falls to Bethel;
Nyman High-scores 11
The Bethel Indians edged out the
cagesters from Dr. Martin Luther
College in a real thriller on Friday,
January 10. The score when the
final gun sounded was 38-37.
Beck Surprises Spectators
The locals won their first confer-ence
victory with a renovated line-up.
Coach Adam started Bob Beck
at the center spot for his first ap-pearance.
He showed lots of fight
and used his height to good advan-tage
under both backboards. Cap-tain
Gordon Peterson's absence
was particularly noticeable under
the defensive backboard.
The visitors started strong and
had built up a five point lead at
quarter time. The Betihelites came
back in the second period to out-score
their opponents by two
points. At half-time the score was
19-16 in favor of the Luther quint.
Lead Sea-s aws
The Indians started the second
half with a bang and tied the score
at 28 all to end the third quarter.
Then the lead changed hands five
times in the final period with both
teams battling till the final gun.
The score showed the Indians to
be the victors, 38-37.

was 19-7 with the Bethel girls as
favorites. At the end of the third
period the score board read 27-15,

All the cherries are off the trees in the North Fork Valley, but there are still plenty for sale at the farm stands. I know from experience that the best way to stock my larger is to have a small quantity of any given food stuff put up a in a variety of ways. So of course I am putting whole cherries up in syrup, but this year I also dried cherries, to cook with other dried fruits for winter desserts, to add to oatmeal or chocolate cookies, use in making chocolates around Valentines day (I dot little puddles of tempered chocolate with the cherries, then chill — they're lovely), or to eat mixed into yogurt or granola for breakfast.

The full text of presidential candidate Barack Obama's nomination-acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States.
Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest - a champion for working Americans and an inspiration to my daughters and to yours - Hillary Rodham Clinton.
To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it; to Ted Kennedy, who embodies the spirit of service; and to the next vice-president of the United States, Joe Biden, I thank you. I am grateful to finish this journey with one of the finest statesmen of our time, a man at ease with everyone from world leaders to the conductors on the Amtrak train he still takes home every night.
To the love of my life, our next first lady, Michelle Obama, and to Sasha and Malia - I love you so much, and I'm so proud of all of you.
Four years ago, I stood before you and told you my story - of the brief union between a young man from Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren't well-off or well-known, but shared a belief that in America, their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to.
It is that promise that has always set this country apart - that through hard work and sacrifice, each of us can pursue our individual dreams but still come together as one American family, to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams as well.
That's why I stand here tonight. Because for 232 years, at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women - students and soldiers, farmers and teachers, nurses and janitors - found the courage to keep it alive.
DENVER, August 27, 2008
Below are the remarks of Bill Clinton as prepared for delivery at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, August 27, 2008:
By Bill Clinton
I am honored to be here tonight to support Barack Obama. And to warm up the crowd for Joe Biden, though as you'll soon see, he doesn't need any help from me. I love Joe Biden, and America will too.
What a year we Democrats have had. The primary began with an all-star line up and came down to two remarkable Americans locked in a hard fought contest to the very end. The campaign generated so much heat it increased global warming.
In the end, my candidate didn't win. But I'm very proud of the campaign she ran: she never quit on the people she stood up for, on the changes she pushed for, on the future she wants for all our children. And I'm grateful for the chance Chelsea and I had to tell Americans about the person we know and love.
I'm not so grateful for the chance to speak in the wake of her magnificent address last night. But I'll do my best.
Hillary told us in no uncertain terms that she'll do everything she can to elect Barack Obama.
That makes two of us.
Actually that makes 18 million of us - because, like Hillary, I want all of you who supported her to vote for Barack Obama in November.
Here's why.
Our nation is in trouble on two fronts: The American Dream is under siege at home, and America's leadership in the world has been weakened.
Middle class and low-income Americans are hurting, with incomes declining; job losses, poverty and inequality rising; mortgage foreclosures and credit card debt increasing; health care coverage disappearing; and a big spike in the cost of food, utilities, and gasoline.
Below are the remarks of Edward Kennedy at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, August 25, 2008:
By Sen. Edward Kennedy
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Caroline.
My fellow Democrats, my fellow Americans, it is so wonderful to be here.
And nothing - nothing is going to keep me away from this special gathering tonight.
I have come here tonight to stand with you to change America, to restore its future, to rise to our best ideals, and to elect Barack Obama president of the United States.
As I look ahead, I am strengthened by family and friendship. So many of you have been with me in the happiest days and the hardest days. Together we have known success and seen setbacks, victory and defeat.
But we have never lost our belief that we are all called to a better country and a newer world. And I pledge to you - I pledge to you that I will be there next January on the floor of the United States Senate when we begin the great test.
Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
For me this is a season of hope - new hope for a justice and fair prosperity for the many, and not just for the few - new hope.
And this is the cause of my life - new hope that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American - north, south, east, west, young, old - will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege.
We can meet these challenges with Barack Obama. Yes, we can, and finally, yes, we will.
Barack Obama will close the book on the old politics of race and gender and group against group and straight against gay.
And Barack Obama will be a commander in chief who understands that young Americans in uniform must never be committed to a mistake, but always for a mission worthy of their bravery.

I'm a rancher who has made my living raising cattle and growing wheat, barley and alfalfa in Montana, a beautiful place with soaring peaks, pristine rivers and endless prairies. I'm probably a little biased, but I think it's the best place in the world to raise a family, to start and grow a business, and to build a community.
When I ran for governor of Montana, I had never before held elected office. I chose a Republican, John Bohlinger, to be my lieutenant governor, with the simple proposition that we could get more done working together than we could fighting. Because Montana really isn't a red state or a blue state. As Senator Obama might put it, we're a united state.
And so in three-and-a-half years, working together—Republicans and Democrats in Montana—we have cut more taxes for more Montanans than any time in history, increased energy production at the fastest rate in the history of Montana, invested more new money in education than ever before and we created the largest budget surplus in the history of Montana. That's the kind of change we brought to Montana, and that's the kind of change President Barack Obama is going to bring to America.
Like Senator Obama, my family has roots in the Great Plains. My grandparents were immigrants who came to Montana with nothing more than the clothes on their back, high hopes and faith in God. My family didn't have much in our little house. But a few things stand out in my memory: a crucifix and, on our kitchen wall, a framed picture of President Kennedy. My parents never even graduated from high school, but President Kennedy's idealism and spirit of possibility inspired them to send all six of us children to college. And when he said, "we're going to the moon," he showed us that no challenge was insurmountable.
Below are the remarks of Joe Biden as prepared for delivery at the Democratic National Convention.
By Joe Biden
Beau, I love you. I am so proud of you. Proud of the son you are. Proud of the father you've become. And I'm so proud of my son Hunter, my daughter Ashley, and my wife Jill, the only one who leaves me breathless and speechless at the same time.
It is an honor to share this stage tonight with President Clinton. And last night, it was moving to watch Hillary, one of the great leaders of our party, a woman who has made history and will continue to make history: my colleague and my friend, Senator Hillary Clinton.
And I am honored to represent our first state-my state-Delaware.
Since I've never been called a man of few words, let me say this as simply as I can: Yes. Yes, I accept your nomination to run and serve alongside our next President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.
Let me make this pledge to you right here and now. For every American who is trying to do the right thing, for all those people in government who are honoring their pledge to uphold the law and respect our Constitution, no longer will the eight most dreaded words in the English language be: "The vice president's office is on the phone."
Barack Obama and I took very different journeys to this destination, but we share a common story. Mine began in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and then Wilmington, Delaware. With a dad who fell on hard economic times, but who always told me: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up. Get up."
I wish that my dad was here tonight, but I am so grateful that my mom, Catherine Eugenia Finnegan Biden, is here. You know, she taught her children-all the children who flocked to our house-that you are defined by your sense of honor, and you are redeemed by your loyalty. She believes bravery lives in every heart and her expectation is that it will be summoned.
Below are the remarks of John Kerry as prepared for delivery at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, August 27, 2008:
By Sen. John Kerry
Thank you so much. Four years ago, you gave me the honor of fighting our fight. I was proud to stand with you then, and I am proud to stand with you now, to help elect Barack Obama as President of the United States.
In 2004, we came so close to victory. We are even closer now, and let me tell you, this time we're going to win. Today, the call for change is more powerful than ever, and with more seats in Congress, with more people with more passion engaged in our politics, and with a President Obama, we stand on the brink of the greatest opportunity of our generation to move this country forward.
The stakes could not be higher, because we do know what a McCain administration would look like: just like the past, just like George Bush. And this country can't afford a third Bush term. Just think: John McCain voted with George Bush 90 percent of the time. Ninety percent of George Bush is just more than we can take.
Never in modern history has an administration squandered American power so recklessly. Never has strategy been so replaced by ideology. Never has extremism so crowded out common sense and fundamental American values. Never has short-term partisan politics so depleted the strength of America's bipartisan foreign policy.
George Bush, with John McCain at his side, promised to spread freedom but delivered the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time. They misread the threat and misled the country. Instead of freedom, it's Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban and dictators everywhere that are on the march. North Korea has more bombs, and Iran is defiantly chasing one.
Below are the remarks as prepared for delivery of former Virginia governor Mark Warner at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, August 25, 2008:
By Sen. Mark Warner,
My fellow Democrats. My fellow Americans. The most important contest of our generation has begun.
Not the campaign for the presidency. Not the campaign for Congress. But the race for the future. And I believe from the bottom of my heart with the right vision, the right leadership, and the energy and creativity of the American people, there is no nation that we can't out hustle or out compete. And no American need be left out or left behind.
Yes, the race for the future is on, and it won't be won if only some Americans are in the running. It won't be won with yesterday's ideas and yesterday's divisions. And it won't be won with a president who is stuck in the past.
We need a president who understands the world today, the future we seek, and the change we need. We need Barack Obama as the next president of the United States.
Now - I have a unique perspective on this race for the future. Like many of you, I was the first in my family to graduate from college. It was made possible by supportive parents, good public schools, and since my folks didn't have the resources, thank goodness for the student loan program.
After I graduated law school, it didn't take long to realize that America really wouldn't miss me as a lawyer. So I started a business. My first company failed in six weeks. My next one was much more successful. It failed in six months.
And then, a buddy of mine told me that there was this new idea. This thing called "car telephones" ... "cell phones." Friends told me: "Warner get a real job... No one's going to want a phone in the car." But I saw a different future. And with luck and a lot of hard work, I got in on the ground floor of the cell phone industry.
As you might imagine, for Barack, running for president is nothing compared to that first game of basketball with my brother Craig.
I can't tell you how much it means to have Craig and my mom here tonight. Like Craig, I can feel my dad looking down on us, just as I've felt his presence in every grace-filled moment of my life.
At six-foot-six, I've often felt like Craig was looking down on me too - literally. But the truth is, both when we were kids and today, he wasn't looking down on me - he was watching over me.
And he's been there for me every step of the way since that clear February day 19 months ago, when - with little more than our faith in each other and a hunger for change - we joined my husband, Barack Obama, on the improbable journey that's brought us to this moment.
But each of us also comes here tonight by way of our own improbable journey.
I come here tonight as a sister, blessed with a brother who is my mentor, my protector and my lifelong friend.
I come here as a wife who loves my husband and believes he will be an extraordinary president.
I come here as a Mom whose girls are the heart of my heart and the center of my world - they're the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. Their future - and all our children's future - is my stake in this election.
And I come here as a daughter - raised on the South Side of Chicago by a father who was a blue collar city worker, and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me. My mother's love has always been a sustaining force for our family, and one of my greatest joys is seeing her integrity, her compassion, and her intelligence reflected in my own daughters.

At The Fashion School in Antwerp

Love the ethics and phylosophy
of the Antwerp school
Its progressive
creative and tuned in
Would love to teach there…
This photo reminds me of my days at FIT, draping on dress forms and learning how to make patterns and sewing my muslins. Sweet memories for sure.
The contrast between the model and the designer is so interesting!
We can already see a different perceptual levels in this two persons: the beautiful object of desire and the creative mind behind it.
Beautiful image.
The Sartorialist does Vermeer! Beautiful lighting. (Not to mention draping on that dress.)
There's something about ateliers and studios that's so romantic and real. People often think of clothes as material things, but fashion really does ignite a sort of feeling like nothing else.
Great mood.
This is just a gorgeous photo. What I love most about your pictures is that you have this amazing ability to capture the personalities and stories of people you have just met in a single instant. Your blog inspires me every day to see the beauty of the world around me, so thank you.
beautiful shot! i love how the light comes through the window and highlights her face, beautiful hair, and a bit of pleating detail.
wonderful moment.
I really, really love this picture. Sure the composition is nice and the lighting is dramatic, but I love getting a glimpse into someone's daily routine that when caught on film is perfect. No screaching cabs, horrible subway smells- just a quiet scene where someone is doing something significant and in this case, beautiful.
Great shot. Love the light.
the designer has cool boots and has designed a cool dress
now …that's a GORGEOUS dress my friend! beautiful photo! love the boots of the designer!?
love how the light is connected to the image…there's an intense, and at the same time gentle, focus…love it!
the pleating on this white dress is quite interesting…how it makes vertical panels down the front of the frock but suddenly transforms the sleeves into pleats of horizontal and diagonal lines…the lovely, orchid-like sleeves. the overall effect brings to mind a beautiful, white sail
*gorgeous* lighting.
Please post more pictures of the Antwerp design school.Would love to see them.
Gorgeous lighting.
Both pairs of boots rock.
the model has my hair ;)
the photo is beautiful. i love the lighting and that gorgeous coat!
OK, so what makes this such a compelling photograph? First, Sart really caught the dance of a moment — one that was unposed and unselfconscious — a bit hard to find in the fashion world.
Second, there is a wonderful combination of balance and tension in every aspect of this — the light, the figures, their clothing, the room — it really captures the concentration and work that lie behind the creative process.
The model has just stepped toward the designer, the designer leans slightly toward the model; both bear their weight on the left foot; both heads bent at the same angle, looking down at the same place. The two figures are about the same height, but the contrasts are interesting. One is blonde, frail and ethereal looking in the white dress and pointed boots and with her arms down she looks passive. The designer is brunette, the black tights and the belted cropped boots make her look firmly grounded and there is tension and focus in her posture. The model is by that soft northern light pouring in the window; the designer further into the shadows of the practical, plain studio, all of which heighten the contrasts.
A good photo requires that you see the moment, recognize it, and capture it, all in an instant. Sart nailed this one.
I love how the light plays in this shot! Very Vermeer indeed.
Look at the designer. The boots, the belt, that little skirt action. I dig it.
this photo captures the exact mood i hoped for.
i am applying to antwerp in a few months.
love the volume and draping of this dress…
Ah yes, Scott, this is a lovely photo… and it does romanticize a rather serene, creative mood in an "atelier" setting….however to convey the true reality of this business you must visit a "workroom" 24 hours before a show when everyone is running in high gear with adrenaline pumping and not a moment to spare as the deadline starts to close in…That is what separates the true masters from all others. That is the reality! Do you think you could capture some of those scenes???
Keep up the good work, you're the greatest!
This photo is very interesting because of the different lighting. It has the feel of a painting. Very cool!
What a beautiful shot. I agree with Kathleen, this is a Vermeer picture. It seems to tell a very romantic story and in a way it is both old-fashioned yet timeless. Well done!
You say Vermeer.
I say Villers.
What a beautiful photo; the fall of light, the shapes and muted tones. So lovely.
is she preparing to be "mummified?"
i have saw this boots before!Sienna Miller has it!
I agree that the evocative lighting in this shot really brings the moment you captured to life…great job! I am enjoying your photography so much…thank you for sharing.
Fact about the Fashion School in Antwerp ,is really good to read and also the post is great.
Love the lighting in this one.

Someone convinced a lot of smart reporters that Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone would take his college pupil Ryan Nassib in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, or in the second round at least. Nassib didn't get scooped up until the fourth round by the New York Giants, where he can be Eli Manning's little brother at quarterback.
The dynamic between Marrone and Nassib is fascinating. The two men helped each other get from Syracuse to the NFL, but Marrone felt that Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel was a better pro prospect (we agree).
"I thought the situation in Buffalo was going to go a little bit different ... I was a little disappointed," Nassib said during a conference call with reporters Saturday.
SI.com's Peter King reported Monday that Nassib was more than a "little disappointed," which is to be expected. King describes Nassib as "wounded." This was Nassib's "Welcome to the NFL" moment. It was a tough decision for Marrone, too.
"In one sense, you study all the quarterbacks and you get the one you believe is the best one, and you're happy. You're ecstatic," Marrone told King. "In another sense, you're hurting about Ryan. And it did hurt. ... It was very difficult after what we did together. It hurts. It definitely hurts. He's a special kid. Unbelievable worker. So smart. Very, very good quarterback with all the intangibles. He will win games in this league.
"The responsibility I had was to get the best player we could get."
You can't fault Marrone for doing what he felt was right for the Bills. You can't fault Nassib for being wounded after he had such high expectations. It's an early reminder to both men that the NFL isn't about personal relationships. It's a business, and it's often a cold-blooded one.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Walking Dead: The Game Review
- Publisher: Howyaknow, LLC
- Genre: Adventure
- Released: 26 Jul, 2012
- Size: 366.7 MB
- Price: FREE!
- Removal of traditional puzzles means 'cyclical' conversations are no longer required; what you say matters and isn't just a punchline.
- Tension and shock-moments feel carefully balanced; no traditional 'shoot first, ask questions later' - it's a fight to survive.
- Comic-book inspired visuals allow for far more gruesome portrayals of violence without being too disturbing.
- Sluggish/sticky controls; given the lack of separate movement and camera controls, their combination and automatic switching can be disorienting.
- Audio compression problems; clear audio followed by heavily compressed/muted - kicks you out of the moment.
Episode one of Walking Dead: The Game lays a great foundation for a story that follows a new group of survivors - how you choose to play Lee will determine how the story spins out in future episodes, but you'll have to live long enough to make it that far first.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
For those who have been waiting for Telltale Games' iOS version of The Walking Dead, the wait was not entirely in vain. I could lie and say that nothing has been lost in the translation from console/PC to handheld device, but it would be a lie, though its ultimate impact on the story and experience is minimal, making it a must-try adventure game.
Although based on the comic franchise, the story follows Lee - a convicted killer who is given a second chance after surviving a 'walker' attack - and a completely separate group of survivors. That isn't to say fans won't find a familiar face or two, but this isn't their story and Lee, or rather you the player, will be forced to make life and death decisions that will affect your game over subsequent episodes.
The game is graphic in its portrayal of violence and the situations you'll find yourself in will have you wishing for more time to respond, however that's the beauty of Walking Dead - you're fighting for survival and the fight or flight response is exploited heavily to add to the drama. Whether it's the limited time you have to respond to a question (or not respond) to either building trust or creating suspicion, or trying desperately to tap a nearby weapon to lodge it firmly in a walker's skull, you'll be happy you have multiple save slots to explore your options.
Where the iOS version obviously diverts from the PC and console version is in the way it's controlled. Unlike most traditional adventure games, the player normally has independent control over the direction their character moves and where the camera is looking. This is removed (to a degree) in the iOS version as players swipe to move around, with only certain scenes allowing for camera movement. It's unfortunate that the controls feel sluggish, as they detract from the otherwise frantic pace of the combat.
The game is gorgeous too, with iPhone 4 and higher iDevices being required to pull off the comic-inspired cell-shaded graphics. As to be expected, the voice acting is also top notch, though audio compression artifacts regularly destroyed otherwise engaging moments.
Telltale Games have done a great job of throwing away the usual obtuse puzzle elements of the adventure genre in favor of telling a compelling story. Given the tense and on-the-edge atmosphere of the Walking Dead world, it has paid-off in the first of five eventual episodes and we can't wait to see how things spin out from here.
Description**NOTE: Compatible with iPad 2 and up, and iPhone 4 and up - WILL NOT RUN ON EARLIER DEVICES**

What's New in Version 1.10*Miscellaneous Fixes
i agree ...great strategy game...
I'm stunned that this app got such a low review. I understand that if you never played Settlers of Catan it might be a challenge to learn. That said, however, this game carries the complete excellence in gameplay of the board game onto the iphone. That's a lot of excellence for one of the all-time best boardgames ... ever!
This game features a number of AI opponents, a degree of challenge in all games, is quite attractive, smooth to play, and fun.
I have a few criticisms, but nothing that would make this less than a 5 star game. Criticisms include -- no PvP (seems like would've been an important feature), no expansion sets (so far), my favorite 'house rule' (that 2 and 12 trigger eachother) is not a feature, there is no undo for mistaken taps, and that the 'trade' button is right above the 'end my turn' button which may cause accidental turn endings.
OK, now that I've said all that, I can also say this is probably my most played iphone game. I've played (& loved Settlers of Catan) for more than 10 yrs, played it all around the world, and I'm quite a good player & I'm only around 70% victories on this game.
It's simply an EXCELLENT strategic game.
Firstly this was one of the early reviews Damian did for the site; all of us were still cutting our teeth on the reviews at the time. Secondly, 4/5 is still an excellent score and Damien's final choice on that score is a sound one for the very reasons you have listed. It's clear he wasn't familiar with the board game (I too am a fan of the series), but issues like a lack of asynchronous multiplayer support, the fact that games take a LONG time to complete and even basic interface issues mar an otherwise great title. Don't let your fandom taint your critical thoughts - if you're saying things like 'it's clearly missing this', 'I keep screwing up things 'cause of this', then they're things to take note of - sometimes a game can rise above its flaws, but sometimes it's just short of perfection :)

ARLINGTON, Texas, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Dwayne Harris caught a Tony Romo touchdown pass with 35 seconds remaining Sunday and the Dallas Cowboys escaped with a 27-23 win over Minnesota.
The game-winning play came after Adrian Peterson's 11-yard scoring run with 5:40 remaining had given the Vikings a 23-20 lead.
Romo completed 34-for-51 passes for 337 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for the NFC East-leading Cowboys (5-4), who shook off last week's tough loss to Detroit.
Jason Witten gained 102 yards and caught a scoring pass on eight receptions.
Peterson finished with 140 rushing yards on 25 carries and added three catches for 37 yards as Minnesota (1-7) dropped a fourth straight.
Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder threw for a touchdown and ran for a score.

The week in review
Best sign of new blood in the city Democratic machine: Josh Chernila, Waldo Jaquith's campaign manager in his bid for City Council last year, is elected vice chairman of the Democratic Committee on January 16. Jaquith's twin brother, Jackson Landers, is elected vice chair for publicity, while incumbent Lloyd Snook holds off Donna Goings' challenge for party chair.
Best sign of new blood in the county Republican machine: Three-term incumbent Commonwealth's Attorney Jim Camblos is challenged by fellow Republican Ron Huber, a Charlottesville assistant commonwealth's attorney, which will force a primary before the November election.
Worst Republican indictments: Edmund Matricardi, former state Republican head, is indicted on five federal charges stemming from his eavesdropping on Democratic conference calls last year. Claudia Tucker, former chief of staff for ex-House of Delegates speaker Vance Wilkins, pleads guilty to a misdemeanor charge in the case, and is sentenced to one year probation and a $1,000 fine.
Worst evidence of partisanship: General Assembly Republicans are threatening to derail environmental lawyer and former mayor Kay Slaughter's confirmation to the State Water Control Board, Bob Gibson reports in the Daily Progress.
Best sound effects from legislators in response to Delegate Rob Bell's dog and cockfighting bill: "Cluck, cluck," according to Gibson.
Best sign of a dynasty: Robert Bernard Bell IV is born to Del. Rob Bell and his wife on January 23.
Best attendance at a City Council budget forum: Center for Peace and Justice activists flood the January 21 meeting to present a 2,041-signature petition urging Council to pass a resolution against a war in Iraq.
Worst fall: A 59-year-old Keene man plunges naked from his second-story bedroom in 13-degree weather January 23 and is in critical condition from injuries including extreme hypothermia.
Best example of protective parenting: The parent of a sixth grader at Jack Jouett Middle School is more bothered by the fact that the word "abortion" was mentioned in Channel One news coverage of the 30th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision than that students are forced to watch 10 minutes of the youth-targeted, commercial-laden broadcast every day.
Worst high-wind damage: Six tractor-trailer trucks overturn on I-77 January 24 just inside the Virginia line near the North Carolina border.
Worst man-beats-dog story: A Winchester man fatally shoots himself in the stomach while beating his 30-pound shar-pei with a shotgun barrel January 23.
Worst nonfatal gunshot wound: "Man recovering after being shot in penis" is the headline of a January 27 Progress story.
Worst battle-ax vandalism spree: At least 14 car windows are bashed along Jefferson Park Avenue early January 25, allegedly by "medieval battle-ax"-wielding Jacob Wayne Majeski, who is charged with 14 counts of vandalism and, not surprisingly, one count of public intoxication, report David Dadurka and Elizabeth Nelson in the Progress.
Worst UVA scandal: L.T. "Spike" Weeks, a contract manager in facilities management, is escorted off Grounds January 22 in the wake of allegations that he hired a painting company from which he'd accepted cash, reports the Cavalier Daily.
Best news for home sellers: Inventory is low, demand is high, and the median sales price in 2002 increased by $16,000 to $173,000, according to the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors.
Worst news for home buyers: Inventory is low, demand is high, and the median sales price is $173,000.
Best publication redesign: Inside UVA unveils a new, clean look for 2003.
Best local mention in a skin magazine: The February 2003 Playboy notes the NRA's $150,000 lawsuit against the County for not allowing a 12-year-old boy to wear his gun-emblazoned NRA t-shirt to school.
