Tomorrow noon the Girl's Chorus
will leave for its last concert tour
of the year. They will visit three
cities in Iowa, and one in Minneso-ta.
The plan now stands for them
to sing at Stratford and Forrest
City on Saturday and at Des
Moines on Sunday. Monday they
will sing at Albert Lea.
The same full concert will be
presented as was presented on the
Chicago trip. Ruth Rask is pianist
for the group, and Nels Stjerns-trom
is the conductor.
The chorus of fifty voices is one
of the most outstanding choruses
Bethel has ever had, and they are
much in demand in conference
churches. The program consists of
semi-classical numbers, negro spir-ituals,
and well-known religious
day night at a quarter to seven
(barring earthquakes, cyclones,
hurricanes, tornadoes, and RAIN)."
Bud "Cut-up" Peterson is in
charge of games, entertainment,
and amusement for the evening.
He and his committee are working
up some side-splitting affairs, so
leave your crab-apple faces at
home, kids, and come out to Como
where you can "smile and give
your face a holiday."
Janet (Cookie) Phillips is in
charge of the Committee on foods
—A wiener roast (hot dog roast
to you) with all the trimmings is
planned. If the only way to bring
out your bright, cheery disposition
is through your stomach, come
right along. We guarantee to make
you a "slap-happy pappy."
We'll round up the events of
the evening with devotions around
the campfire in charge of Earl
(Deacon) Hoagburg. There's no
better way to conclude one of our
school parties than with spiritual
fellowship and songs of praises
and thanksgiving.

and faculty members.
At the meeting a student-fostered
plan for raising money for
a new athletic stadium was pre-sented
by Russell Johnson. The
plan sets a five-year goal of $25,000
in cash and pledges for this year's
student body, with a view to ob-taining
the $100,000 necessary to
build the proposed field-house by
1950. The alumni association, new
students in the next few years, and
Ivm kers in various regions of the
country will cooperate with the
present student body in raising the

eighteen, or twenty-four dollars a
year with the first amount payable
next August, were recommended to
the students at the meeting.
Student committees have been
set up by the student council for
promoting the drive. Mabel Ander-son
is chairman of the committee
for publicity, and John Leggett
heads' the committee for promo-tion.
Warren Magnuson, Chuck
Germany, Roy Nelson, Jim Ander-son,
Carl Olson, Frank Shindo,
Russ Johnson, Ray Larson, and
Shorty Bjelland are other students
who are acting on the student com-mittee.
At the program last Tuesday,
slides were shown by Carl Olson,
which revealed the story of NAS.
The picture-posters that were
placed on the college corridor halls
for students to explain are now
understood to show Bethel's de-velopment.
The picture of a baby
represents Bethel as a new school.
The picture of a school-boy shows
growth, but the young school is
still normal. The third picture,
however, indicates how Bethel has
grown in recent years in every
way, but one, the young man's
short leg representing a lack of
growth in the athletic program.
The last picture stands for the
effort to stretch the undevoloped
leg in order to bring the man back
to normalcy.

Students from high schools and
colleges all over Minnesota came
to the state capitol last Friday and
Saturday, May 3 and 4, for the
Minnesota Students' United Na-tions
Conference, sponsored by the
speech department of the Univer-sity
of Minnesota. Bethel College
sent three students, Charles Ger-many,
Alastair Brown, and Donald
Decker, to the sessions.
The sessions, at which Prof.
Kenneth L. Burger of Augsburg
College presided, began Friday
morning, when keynote speeches
were made by Mayor Humphreys
and Mr. A. R. K. MacKenzie, advis-or
for Britain's permanent repre-sentative
to the real United Na-tions.
After lunch, nine committees, in-cluding
the Security Council, and
Commissions on Military Use of
Atomic Energy, Non-military Use
of Atomic Energy, Human Rights,
World Health, Economic Recon-struction,
World Trade, Economic
Rehabilitation of Conquered Coun-tries,
and Political and Social Re-habilitation
of Conquered Coun-tries,
convened in different rooms
of the capitol for discussion. In
these committee meetings Ger-many
acted as Egyptian represen-tative
to the Security Council,
Brown as Czechoslovakia's repre-sentative
in the Commission on
Non-Military Use of Atomic Power,
and Decker as representative of
the Netherlands to the Commission
on Political and Social Rehabilita-tion
of Conquered Countries.
On Saturday the resolutions of
the committees were presented in

Bethel Junior College strength-eened
its position 'at the top of
the Southern Minnesota Junior

off Bethany Lutheran, 6-2, in a
game played in Como Park last
Saturday. The victory was Bethel's
third straight in conference play
and put the Indians far out in
front of the other three conference
schools who have teams this year.
The three conference wins are bal-anced
by three defeats at the
hands of non-conference opponents
to give the Bethelites a .500 rating
thus far in the season.
Highlight of the game was Carl
Olson's one-hit pitching, Bethany's
lone hit coming in the sixth inning
with the bases loaded. Five Bethel

Sem Snatches
By Bill Peterson
Even Spring fever fails to pro-duce
its usual effect on the fellows
now that term papers, theses, and
the like are in demand by exacting
pedagogs. They say that necessity
is the mother of invention; it can
also be carried over into scholastic
lines for many unheard of and
undreamed of productions have en-tered
the offices of the profs under
the guise of termpapers; results
of "zero" hour efforts. Speaking
along these lines reminds me of
the fellow who thought footnotes
were the bass part to a song.
(Laugh here).
I guess Spring is here now, for
there have been certain indications
of it. The storm windows have
come off and once more we can see
outside. All winter it seemed as
if the dorm was wearing dark
glasses. But everything got a new
lease on life when Spring rolled in.
The June bugs, dear little hard-shelled
things, really made their
presence known. The first wave of
them took the role of a suicide
squadron. We threw up (please
get the right meaning) a quick but
effective defense and combatted
them with everything from Rip
Van Agee's cane to hypo needles
filled with shaving lotion. Soon
the corpses of insectae mortae
filled the halls. Strange, isn't it,
how one will stretch things to
make a story when space must be
How to become famous in one
easy lesson: consult John Agee as
to becoming a member of a group
of contenders in America's favorite
pastime, characterized by poten-tates
of the Romanist faith, name-ly
the St. Louis Cardinals.
Our halls have been graced by
the presence of the nurse quite
often lately. Lloyd Sprecher got
the "clunk" and almost blew the
top off the thermometer, but after
the proper treatment and after
feasting on various pills, he was
able to go home to Mama and the
little "Sprechlings." There has
been something of an epidemic go-ing
around and we might say here
that it pays to take precautionary
measures. If you feel that you
have a high fever and aching feel-ing
slowly dwindling down until
the body temperature is approxi-mately
room temperature and
there is a loss of pulse and respira-tion
(usually accompanied by a
stiffness of the joints and a reced-ing
of the eyeball) please call the
nurse, because we don't want any-one
getting sick. If you can't lo-cate
her, get Harold Dark.
Question of the week: What
shall we call this column next
year? Please submit your suggest-ions
to the editor.
The writing of this column was
begun in Room 208, Seminary
Dorm, continued on Station 2B,
Miller Hospital, and finished at
the breakfast table in the dining
hall. So if it reeks of musty vol-umes,
zephirin solution, and burnt
toast, you'll understand the rea-son.
Rest Cure
By "US"
I'm all right. Sure I am. I'm fine. I am. I've been
a little nervous but I'm all right now. I'm having a rest
cure. That's what they tell me. I'm having a rest cure
and I can't see anybody. Only the doctor and the day
nurse and the night nurse and the floor nurse and the
head nurse and the tray boys and three or four order-lies.
And all I have to do is lie and sleep and not
worry about anything and rest. And that's just what
I'm doing. I may not look it, but that's just what I'm
doing. And a hospital is just the place to do it in. No
one disturbs you. Not 'till seven in the morning, they
don't. And then all they do is wash you and give you
some breakfast and wash and clean the room, and
then you can rest, you can 'till they wash the windows
and then you can rest 'till they want to clean the bath-room.
You can rest while they clean the bathroom.
You can, I can't. Not while hospitals use tin basins.
T can't. Certainly. I'm not jumpy. I'm fine. I like
hearing tin basins banged around and I don't mind it
a bit if the nurse sings while she does it. It doesn't
make me nervous—it makes me sick, but it doesn't
make me nervous. And after they get the floor
scrubbed I can rest while they clean the rugs. They'll
take them outside to clean them, and that's very con-siderate.
They understand. They know I'm resting.
They'll wait 'till I'm asleep and bring them back and
drop them beside the bed with a nice dull thud. But I
don't mind. I'm fine. And then, I'll get my rub and
that's grand. All up and down my spine and I get
Sleepy again. And then the nurse tiptoes over and
opens the window and tiptoes over and pulls down
the shade and then she moves all the furniture and
washes a few tin things and then she goes to lunch.
Well, supposing she does leave the door open. I can
get up and shut it, can't I? I'm not sick, am I? I'm
just in for a rest. And after I shut the door I can go
fast asleep. I can 'till they ring the telephone. I know
they have orders not to, but anyone can make mis-takes.
And they have to send up flowers, even if there
is a sign on the door that says, "Patient Sleeping." It
doesn't say don't wake her, does it? I'm not complain-ing.
After lunch I can rest. Unless the doctor comes.
Well . . . I can rest when he goes. I ought to be able
to. It's quiet here. It says so in the street. "Hospital
Street, Quiet." There is a little riveting next door, but
who minds that? I do, but I can't stop it, can I? And
I can't stop radios . . . It certainly was a swell idea to
put radios in hospitals. I wonder who thought that
up? I'd like to meet him some day and slip him a nice
little kiss. But I don't mind them, and I don't mind the
visitors across the hall. They have to Shout. That's
cheering the patient up. They can't come in a hospital
and let the patient think he's sick, can they? They
have to be hearty. Sure, they do. So stop biting the
bed clothes. After dinner you can rest. After dinner
and after you take a bath and after your pills. Then
you can rest. You aren't nervous, are you? You aren't
going to let a little thing like a rest cure upset you, 'are
you? Certainly I'm not. . . I'm calm. . . I'm swell. . .
I'm not screaming. . I'm resting

The age-old question of make-up comes up this week. We have
two viewpoints of the question from several young men.
Perhaps a bit of Bible study should help us in this question. Turn
to Jeremiah 4:30 where we read "Though thou rentest thy face with
painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; Thy lovers will despise
thee." But Psalms 4 seems to support the other side when it says,
"Our lips are our own." With this as a background, proceed now to the
pros and cons of wearing artificial beauty.
Question of the Week: Should
Christian Women Wear Lipstick?
Jim Rehnburg—I'd rather see a
little lipstick on a girl than have
her look sick.
Jim Anderson—The exquisite
beauty and fairness of a young
girl's lips in their own fantastic
environment are second to none.
Naturally the paler specimens ne-cessitate
a complete coating of con-flagatory
camouflage. The most
interesting case from which I draw
these conclusions is that of Madam
Sophie whose lips originated a pop-ular
song; because of her under-slung
molars and chow props her
delicately concealed lips chanted
"Don't fence me in."
Gordon Krantz—(A minor explo-sion)
I don't like it! It looks like
the bloody beak of a bird of prey.
Maynard Johnson—If they have
any doubts, it's wrong. I think
that it is entirely up to the indi-vidual.
Bob Picker—I think lipstick adds
to the appearance and detracts
little from the Christian testimony.
Roy Nelson—Lipstick doesn't
look good with Hamlett's red hair.
Russell Voight—Anytime except
on dates. B. P.

To Mother
By Taffy Bergman
I lay on my wee trundle bed feverishly wracking my brains. What
should I get my mother for that famous day which was swiftly approach-ing?
My meditations were interrupted by a Clarion editor, who entered,
and mentioned casually that it would be nice to have a feature on
Mother's Day. After a joyous little session of arm twisting, I finally
Many's the happy memory that
Mother's Day recalls to my mind.
I was always decked out in a
lovely pink carnation. As I grew
in years (and in size proportion-ately)
my corsage increased to
two, or even three, of these lovely
I can look back on the years
with a clear conscience and a feel-ing
of self-satisfaction. I have
never neglected my mother. The
first Mother's Day I can remember,
I presented my parent with a
lovely six inch square of lace that
I was lucky enough to salvage out
of the waste basket before the
trash was collected. As I grew
older I learned to appreciate the
beauty of fine perfume. We even
went so far as to collect petals
from my mother's carefully arrang-ed
cut flowers in order to press
and mix them with water, to con-coct
a perfume of beauty and rari-ty.
After we had dumped the con-tents
of one of her lovely crystal
bottles down the sink, we filled
it with our own concoction (or
shall I say brew?) an proudly
presented it to mother.
Ode to My Roommate
Who borrows all your ready cash?
Your roommate.
Whose talk is senseless bolderdash?
Your roommate.
Who borrows all your notes and maps,
And ,plans to give them ba-ck—perhaps,
And gets you in the "worstest" scraps?
Your roommate.
Who never looks before she throws?
Your roommate.
Who clutters up your bed with clothes?
Your -roommate.
Who keeps you wide awake at night?
Who never puts the alarm on right?
Who ought to go and fly a kite?

But who's a constant pal to you?
Who overlooks the things you do?
Who knows and loves you through and through?
Your Mother!

the Carpet
By Pres. Henry Wingblade
One of the great needs of the
world is for good listeners—and
shall we say., also for practical lis-teners.
If you really want to be popular
learn how to listen when others
are talking. They appreciate that
more than words can say.
Many people, instead of listen-ing
to what the other is saying,
roll the eyes and roll the thoughts,
and if they think at all it is rather
of what they are going to say when
there is an opening.
Everywhere there are people
with aching hearts who are look-ing
for someone whom they can
entrust with the burdens—people
who can be good sympathetic lis-teners.
As Bacon puts it—"a trouble
shared is a trouble halved." And
a thought expressed is a thought
clarified or at least laid bare.
But above all we should learn
to be good listeners to God's voice.
"Be still—and know." As F. B.
Myer put it to the broken-hearted
woman on the train who had lost
her little daughter and was "the
loneliest person in the world,"—
He said, "Christ is infinitely
closer to you than your little
daughter could ever be. Talk to
Him. But don't do all the talking.
Be still and listen. He has some-thing
to say to you too."
Later when Dr. Myer met this
same woman she testified of how
real Christ had become, and she
said, "I believe I am the happiest
woman in the world."
But not only to listen but to do
—the Word. Such a one is like a
man who has built his house on
the rock, and no winds or floods
can break it down.
Yes, a good listener is loved by
both God and man. "He that hath
an ear let him hear what the Spirit
saith to the churehes."
Me Scared ?
By Milton Speas
Did you ever get a feelin'
When you were all by yourself,
That someone else was with you,
A little gnome or elf?
'Twas the most peculiar feelin'
That I had ever knowed,
As I walked alone one night in
Along a country road.
The moon was dim and gloomy,
Castiu shadows everywhere.
And there I was three miles from
How I wished that I were there.
So I hurried steadily homeward,
With my heart a poundin' fast,
When a rabbit leaped before me
I went on twice as fast.
Then as I gained the hilltop
Which looked down on our house,
I vowed I'd stay at home at night,
And be as quiet as a mouse.
Did you ever get a feelin'
When you were all by yourself,
That someone else was with you,
A little gnome or elf?
dilemma, inc.
By Jim Anderson
In the issue of the Clarion that came out on April 12, we read an
article about the "annual dilemma" and a slump in the labor supply. It
seems as though the matter (?) has overcome the Spire staff also.
While the publisher cries for more, more, and the engraver has hau
to lay off half his personnel waiting for our business, we find the Spire
office bare and empty. Old dusty papers lie on the editor's desk, and
the mice play "Jimmy got a Zero," on the piano. Drawn curtains cover
the windows and hang their heads in shame as the dry dust of
innumerable centuries hangs on their long straight shoulders. The
endless corridors and vaults of Spire Inc. lie idle and useless.
Perhaps the most powerful weapon in reducing the staff is Nature
herself. With the early, warm spring there seems to have been a steady
migration of layout men, typists, copywriters, corresponding secretaries,
and subscription solicitors in impeccable camouflage, past the Spire
and Clarion office.
As they go they cast nervous glances in every direction and
desperately clutching some books under their arms, they make a dash
for the nearest shade tree, and proceed to study or "let young men's
fancies turn... "
Nevertheless, lack of organization by the editor during the early
stages has caused the work to pile up mountain high just about now.
In spite of it all we have hopes of a Spire, the like of which has not
been seen since Bethel was founded. The staff members are volunteers
and students, and we want to thank them heartily for all they have done.
There will be close to 350 extra Spires, and we would appreciate it
very much if students would help us in two ways to distribute these
books, and advertise Bethel and help the Spire to succeed financially.
Either give Doris Engwall a list of names and addresses of people who
might want a copy, or contact your friends yourselves and sell them a
good book from your own school—Bethel.

Since everyone has spruced up for banquets and dinner parties, we
have heard the comment, "Why don't we have more formal events
during the year?" and "Why must all the formal events be crowded
into the last three weeks?"
It is an interesting question. Let's discuss the possibilities here.
In most colleges, some formal event is held in the first week. A wel-come
reception for Frosh .. teas for the new women students. Why
shouldn't Bethel have these events also? Perhaps the money
- enter in, but formals must be purchased for the end of the
not at the beginning instead?
It also gives a good impression on new students to be welcomed in
a formal way. The informal party is fun, but there is something nice
about dressing up in formal attire .. . most people like to look nice when
they meet people for the first time, instead of having wet hair, and egg
soaked clothes.
Might we suggest to the student council that they think of this
when they plan activities for next year. It might be well to divide up
the formal events.

In thinking about the command-ments
- and teachings of the Bible,
we often see only the negative
side of the command—the part
that says, "Thou shalt not." Is it
not more important to do what is
right than not to do what is
Many of us have this attitude in
one respect especially. We seek
diligently to obey the Bible's com-mand
to cease from our labor on
the sabbath. We exercise great
care to keep from desecrating the
Lord's day. Yet in the same breath
that He tells us to do no work on
the sabbath, God, speaking through
Moses, tells us, "Six days shalt
thou labor." That is a very im-portant
thing to remember. God
wants us to rest on the seventh
day, but not during the rest of
the week. Many times God asks
us, as he asked Elijah, when he
had fled for his life and was liv-ing
alone in a cave, "What doest
thou here?" and He tells us to "go
down" and get back to work.
It is difficult to draw the line
dividing work and play. Both are
necessary. One must not over-emphasize
either of the two. "All
work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy." But Jack is often a
little too careful to avoid dullness.
God's plan, apparently, calls for
six-sevenths work and one-seventh
rest. If playing does not have such
a subordinate place in our lives,
at least it is clear that playing is
intended to come after one's work
has been done.
Many men are afraid of "burning
the candle at both ends." I do not
advocate killing oneself by work.
Yet one is not sure that he is not
asked to burn ends of the candle,
when he hears repeated commands
and pleadings of his Lord to
"Work! Work! Work!" Whited
harvest fields, a world in greater
need than ever, indicate to me
that a Christian's business is work-ing.
How far may we rely on God
to supply strength where ours
breaks down? How much time did
Jesus take for relaxation and play?
"Work, for the night is coming,
when man works no more."
Should we, then, close the cof-fee
shop? Should we stop wasting
time and money in an athletic pro-gram?
Should we stop our useless
playing, and work instead? No,
because play is not useless. It
serves a very definite purpose, and
in the long run occasional relaxa-tion
brings greater efficiency in
work. But this I say. Do not
worry about over-working. It is
another of those instances in
which a middle cause, rather than
either extreme, is best. But God
requires a middle course that leans
toward the "dull" side of working.
When Nehemiah and the other
Israelites were rebuilding the walls
of Jerusalem, the Biblical record
says, "So built we the wall .. for
the people had a mind to work."
We need to acquire a "mind to
work," for then things may be
accomplished." 'Be strong, all ye
people of the land,' saith the Lord,
'and work: for I am with you,'
saith the Lord of 'mists."

It's more than putting one foot in front of the other, it's more than the distance I go, and it's more than getting the time I want. It's about the feeling I get when I run, the rush that makes me feel as if I could run forever and never tire. I remember the best race I ever ran… to this point. It was the Division Championship and I had just finished running in the 4x800 meter relay, in which we place second in spite of the expectation that we would place first. I felt totally defeated, but I knew I had one last race to prove what I have in me: the 4x400 meter relay. I was the last leg in the relay and by the time I got the baton we were in second place and the leader was 150 meters ahead of me. I remember telling myself that I could still catch up to her. This was my time. So I ran as fast as my legs would allow and with each step I drew closer and closer. It came down to the last turn and I ran right past her and ran that straightaway like I would never run again. I had everyone screaming for me; my coaches, my teammates, and most importantly my dad. The feeling of crossing that finish line first with the best 400 time I've ever gotten and winning the division championships was exhilarating.
In reality, though, I didn't need a moment in the spotlight to feel accomplished in what I do. It's being able to do what I love most and being happy while I do it. My name is Amanda and I am sixteen years old and I live with a form of epilepsy. Having epilepsy has held me back from some things I wish I could have done like sleepovers with my best friends and staying until the end of parties. But I knew I needed the rest. When I started running Track and Field, I found myself. The condition from which I suffer will not stop me from doing what I want to. I've learned that if you want to do something, get up and do it. Fight for what you love to do instead of hiding behind excuses. Opportunities don't stick around forever. If I didn't do track I would be sitting home every day after school just doing homework and missing out on something that allows me to grow and mature in various ways.
To be completely honest, at this stage in my life, I would feel totally lost if I stopped running track. I have made so many friends, so many memories, accumulated many achievements, and most of all, I've learned that no matter what happens, there is always something in a person's life that can give them the confidence to make them feel like they can do anything. For me, running track isn't an escape. It is empowering.
by Candy Finkelstein, Amanda's mother
When is a good time to, "let go?" The answer from my gut would be never! But when I answer with my heart and my brain, I realize that what is best for my daughter Amanda is that which considers her as a whole individual. My concerns about her safety have been reasonably tempered by the many physical and emotional benefits of her participation on the Track team. Her excellent stamina, weight and body strength are the direct positive results of her physical training. Ever more impressive are the self-confidence and personal sense of self-worth she has developed as she has grown into this sport. Neither are things that I could have ever handed to her – she had to find them for herself and she did that with track. Do I still worry sometimes? Sure, I do, but frankly I would worry anyway, so why not let her reap all the benefits along the way! Her smile and the determination in her eyes make it all worthwhile.
SUDEP RESEARCH - Sudden, Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (New England Journal of Medicine)
by Orrin Devinsky, MD
Epilepsy is characterized by both recurrent seizures and clinical uncertainty. Paroxysmal symptoms unpredictably punctuate life. Although most people with epilepsy live full and productive lives, doctors may too readily assure patients that seizures "never hurt the brain" and "are never fatal." Over time, convulsive seizures can progressively impair cognition and behavior and alter brain structure. In rare cases, seizures can be fatal.
Sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy refers to a death in a patient with epilepsy that is not due to trauma, drowning, status epilepticus, or other known causes but for which there is often evidence of an associated seizure. The event may be unwitnessed, and the person is often found dead in bed. A finding of sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy is definite when clinical criteria are met and autopsy reveals no alternative cause of death, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, or drug intoxication, although there may be evidence of a seizure (e.g., a bitten tongue or pulmonary edema). Sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy is probable when clinical criteria are met but there is no autopsy, and it is possible when there is an alternative because of death or when clinical data are lacking.

April 2005, I was changing baby Grace's diaper and noticed blood. Our pediatrician sent us for a bone age test and a uterine sonogram. The bone age indicated 2.5 years versus her chronological age of 15 months. This was the first time we heard the term 'hypothalamic hamartoma' (HH.)
An MRI showed a huge HH. We were told this was causing the precocious puberty. We were informed seizures and behavioral problems could follow. By the end of 2005, Grace was having daily gelastic and weekly complex partial seizures. She was beginning to show the cognitive impact of the seizures and was spending much of her day in 'recovering mode.'
In July 2006, Grace began to have hypothalamic rages. Onset of these rages was the turning point in making the decision to move forward with surgery. The rages destroyed every bit of happiness within Grace and caused our family indescribable distress. Grace had surgery on April 20, 2007. Although the surgery went well, post-op struggles continued with diabetes insipidus, uncontrollable hunger and a decreased metabolism. The good news was Grace was seizure and rage free for 2 years.
On December 11, 2011 at 2:30 am, we found Grace in her room having a seizure. We called 911. As soon as the ambulance pulled up to the hospital, she went into cardiac arrest. Grace passed away shortly after with Perry and I holding her hand. We spent the day before decorating a Christmas tree. Our last picture of Grace is her standing with her arm around her sister Sarah.
The specific trigger to the events that early morning will never be known, although While we do not know the exact reason for why Grace went into cardiac arrest, we feel SUDEP played a role in Grace's final moments. Grace had epilepsy, precocious puberty, rages, and suffered from depression and anxiety due to the hypothalamic hamartoma. Grace had diabetes insipidus, lack of temperature regulation, hypothalamic obesity, and acquired Prader-Willi syndrome due to her damaged hypothalamus. Grace was a strong spirit, but unfortunately the body she lived with was fragile.
My husband, Perry and I helped found Hope for Hypothalamic Hamartomas (www.hopeforhh.org) to educate patients, caregivers and medical professionals about hypothalamic hamartomas. I designed the website with that sole purpose in mind. I also manage and monitor an online support forum to help families newly diagnosed, in distress, and looking for support. Grace's passing and the impact it has had on my family has made me redouble my efforts to collaborate with other organizations like FACES to make sure that patients that suspect or are diagnosed with HH trust their instincts, advocate for their children, know which questions to ask, and get to a center of excellence like the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center NYU Langone early in the process.
We are devastated by our loss, but find comfort in knowing Grace is no longer living with daily seizures, rages, pain, and all the other struggles she was inflicted with as a result of her hypothalamic tumor. To honor Grace's memory, we continue to HOPE and hope you will spread the word of Grace and her courageous journey!
HOPE for Hypothalamic Hamartomas (HOPE for HH) is one of many organizations FACES partners with to promote education and patient support. Visit our Partners page to learn more.

CHICAGO - Big Buff got bumped from a struggling top line and responded with a performance that has lifted the Chicago Blackhawks to within one win of the Stanley Cup.
Dustin Byfuglien scored two goals and had a pair of assists as Chicago got off to a quick start and beat the Philadelphia Flyers 7-4 on Sunday night for a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup finals.
The 257-pound Byfuglien, who had eight goals in the first three rounds of the playoffs but none in the first four games against a tough Flyers defense, had a power-play goal in the second period and added an empty netter in the closing seconds.
"Getting down there two games in their building, we had to come back with some fire and get on them and show them we weren't going to quit. Right from the get-go we moved our feet and were physical," Byfuglien said.
Byfuglien's top line that had included Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews was split up for Game 5, a strategy that worked for coach Joel Quenneville. They had combined for just one goal and four assists in the first four meetings with Philly. Kane also had a goal and an assist, and Toews added an assist Sunday.
Brent Seabrook added a power-play goal, and Dave Bolland, Kris Versteeg and Patrick Sharp also scored for the Blackhawks.
Chicago can capture the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1961 with a victory Wednesday night in Philadelphia in Game 6. A Flyers win would send the series back to Chicago for a decisive Game 7 on Friday night.
"We're not going to think about that now. We have to keep levelheaded and go into that building with the same mindset and have fun," Versteeg said of Wednesday's chance to wrap it up.
All five wins in the series have come on home ice.
Scott Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen, James van Riemsdyk and Simon Gagne scored for the Flyers. Gagne's goal with 2:36 left made it 6-4, but a half-minute later Byfuglien converted the empty-netter.
"We got outworked pretty good," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said.
The Blackhawks blitzed goalie Michael Leighton with three goals in the final 7:43 of the first period, and the United Center erupted as Chicago quickly found the offensive game that had helped it make the finals.
Leighton was pulled - for the second time in the series in favor of Brian Boucher - after giving up three goals on 13 shots in the first period.
"We weren't very good in the first period," Laviolette said, adding he didn't know who would start in goal for Game 6.
Trailing 3-0, the Flyers wasted little time in getting one of the goals back as Ville Leino took the puck to side of the net and tried to stuff it in. But after hitting goalie Antti Niemi, the puck sat just off the line before Hartnell came in and knocked it home just 32 seconds into the period.
Kane, who had been with Byfuglien on a struggling Blackhawks first line that Quenneville split up, got his second goal of the finals on a nice pass from Andrew Ladd. Ladd had his shot blocked by Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger, recovered the puck and passed it to Kane, who streaked to the net uncovered to beat Boucher for a 4-1 lead.
As they have done throughout the series, the gritty Flyers responded quickly to a Chicago goal with one of their own. Timonen converted from the left circle after Niemi had gone down making a save seconds earlier, and it was 4-2.
With Flyers defensive star Pronger in the penalty box for hooking, the 257-pound Byfuglien who likes the space in front of the net, finally got his first goal of the series after a pass from captain Jonathan Toews, making it 5-2.
Before the goal, Niemi made a great pad save on a point-blank attempt by Mike Richards during a Flyers power play, keeping it a two-goal game.
Van Riemsdyk scored on a rebound in the final period to cut Chicago's lead to two and Niemi made another nice stop on Richards with about five minutes left.
Kane then skated down the left side and made a crisp feed to Sharp. That gave the Blackhawks a four-goal lead with just under four minutes left.
Aggressive from the outset, shooting from all angles, getting the puck through the neutral zone and able to keep their own end clear, the Blackhawks were in control early after two losses in Philadelphia that appeared to swing the momentum in the Flyers' favor.
On a power play, Seabrook took a nice pass from Versteeg, who had skated behind the net, lined it up from the left circle and beat Leighton for a 1-0 lead. The Blackhawks had entered the game just 1 for 9 on the power play in the series.
With a delayed penalty about to be called on the Flyers, Bolland gathered the puck as it bounced off the boards behind the net and then shoveled it in off Leighton's skate for a two-goal advantage.
About two minutes later, Versteeg took a pass at center ice, skated high between the circles and rifled the puck past Leighton for a 3-0 lead.
Leighton withstood a furious early attack with a great stop on Patrick Sharp, as Chicago had a quick 6-1 shots advantage, but the Blackhawks kept coming. Chicago finished the period with a 13-7 edge.
Quenneville shuffled the lines - with Marian Hossa and Tomas Kopecky joining Toews to start the game. Kane skated with Ladd and Sharp, and Byfuglien was teamed with Versteeg and Bolland.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- President Obama Friday met with insurance company executives to discuss his plan to allow some policyholders to keep their current healthcare plans for a year.
The meeting began at the White House after the U.S. House passed a Republican bill that would allow health insurance companies to keep selling policies that don't comply with Affordable Care Act standards.
The 261-157 vote on the Keep Your Health Plan Act sponsored by Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., included 39 Democrats.
The plan would allow companies to sell non-compliant policies to current and new customers, and wouldn't require the providers to alert consumers about the required ACA benefits that are not included. Insurance companies have indicated such a plan would undermine the financial rational of the healthcare reforms and could lead to higher premiums.
Obama and the insurance executives were joined at the table by Marilyn Tavenner, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough.
The White House in a statement called the meeting "productive."
"I want to welcome the executives who are here from a lot of the insurance companies that are participating in the marketplace," the president said. "We all share a similar value, which is we want to make sure that Americans have good, solid coverage that gives them the security they need for themselves and their family members if and when they get sick."
Upton said his measure would fulfill a promise Obama had made to the American people and then broke, The New York Times said.
"In the last three years," Upton said during floor debate, "the president personally promised that if people liked their current healthcare plan, they could keep it 'no matter what.' But cancellation notices are now arriving in millions of mailboxes across the country. It's cancellation today, sticker shock tomorrow."
President Obama said he would veto Upton's bill if it reaches his desk.
The proposal goes beyond the fix announced by Obama Thursday, which would only allow insurers and state insurance commissioners to extend those policies through most of 2014 to current policyholders and requires companies to alert customers of what ACA benefits aren't included and tell policyholders of the possibility of getting better coverage and pricing by using the health insurance marketplaces.
The administration has been slammed for the faulty Oct. 1 launch of healthcare.gov, the federal health insurance exchange, as well as news that policyholders across the country were receiving cancellation notices from their insurance carriers because policies didn't comply with the Affordable Care Act and contradicted Obama's oft-repeated "if you like your policy, you can keep it" refrain.
A number of Democrats -- some facing tough re-election contests and anxious to be seen as proactively trying to remedy the cancellation problem -- also pushed for action that would ensure Obama's promise was kept in some way.
"This bill is not a bill to let people keep their health insurance plans. The president took care of that issue yesterday," Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., said during floor debate Friday. "What this bill is, is another vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act."
"We knew this was a promise [Obama] could not keep, and now it is a promise he has broken," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said.
The legislation's outlook is unclear in the Senate, where Democrats also up for re-election next year are looking for a way to help consumers who face not having insurance because their policies don't meet requirements of the 2010 law, the Times said.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., offered her own plan, which would allow people to keep their current plans indefinitely. However, after the president's announcement Thursday, many Senate Democrats said they would wait to see if additional legislation was necessary.

And why not? Seemingly everybody else is.
As is usually the case this time of the year, the name of Boise State head coach Chris Petersen has been tossed around in relation to several big-name openings. In his seventh season in Boise, Petersen has already been connected to one SEC vacancy (Arkansas) this year, and is now being connected to another.
Citing someone familiar with the process, al.com is reporting that Petersen is on "Auburn's list to be the school's next football coach [that] is now more than a half-dozen names long." Of course, being on a school's wish list doesn't necessarily equate to a realistic shot at landing the coach, especially as it pertains to Petersen.
Over the past three years, Petersen has seen his name connected to openings at (take a deep breath) Penn State, UCLA, Stanford, Florida, USC and Mississippi State just to name a few. Each and every time, and regardless of whether there were conversations at any level or not, Petersen always ended up right back where all of the rumors all started: as the head coach of the Broncos.
Of course, you never say never when it comes to a head coach and a potential move. However, Petersen's track record — preferring to remain by far the biggest fish in what will be an improving conference pond (maybe) with the football program's move from the Mountain West — suggests this is more wishful thinking on the part of AU's athletic department than it is reality.
Now, if Chip Kelly leaves for the NFL, opening up the Oregon job? Well, let's just say it would get interesting as it pertains to Petersen.
As far as other potential candidates on Auburn's to-do list, al.com reports that TCU's Gary Patterson is a "new name" that has emerged. Patterson has also been mentioned as a potential permanent replacement for Bobby Petrino at Arkansas.
The newspaper's website also lists Petrino, Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart and a trio of current head coaches — Arkansas State's Gus Malzahn, Louisville's Charlie Strong and Florida State's Jimbo Fisher — as being among AU's targets.
Fisher addressed the speculation yesterday, saying "I'm very happy right here. I'm content to be here, this is where I want to be."

Research shows again and again that parents have a have a huge impact on student achievement in school and throughout life (Becta 2009, Henderson and Mapp 2002, Simpson 2001). In their recent report, "A New Wave of Evidence: The Impact of School, Family, and Community Connections on Student Achievement," the Southwest Education Development Laboratory (2002) points out that regardless of demographics, children with involved parents are more likely to (1) pass their coursework and earn higher grades, (2) attend school regularly, (3) socialize more easily with their peers and (4) graduate and go onto university.
In the spirit of helping parents get involved during homework time, Bon Education created a Digital Tools for Homework Help group on Curriki to support educational resource exchange between educators and parents. The hope is that the resources shared within this group will help parents get excited during homework help time, as well as save time and stress.
Check out the group Curriculum tab to see a wealth of homework help resources including:
- Age Appropriate Educational Sites for Elementary and Secondary School Students.
- Internet Search Tips for Finding Homework Help Resources in a Snap

Kevan Barber, Senior Account Manager from Grayling's Consumer PR team shares his Young Lions - Cannes Lions 2018 entry, and top tips for tight turnarounds!
This year saw Grayling UK enter two teams into the PRCA's Young Lions competition, a challenge designed to give PR pros under the age of 30 a brief to respond to in over 10 slides, within 24 hours. No mean feat!
Jenny Wakeling and I from Grayling's Consumer PR team eagerly anticipated the brief from The Children's Society which focused on the plight of young people struggling with myriad disadvantages. The charity's key message were at the heart of it, that "no child should feel alone".
We planned out our day for insight research, brainstorming and deck development, all due to be finished by 5pm in time for Thursday evening drinks.
At 10am the brief lands in our inboxes. Immediately Jenny and I get to work, to-ing and fro-ing between concepts throughout the day, surrounded by insights and strands of ideas before finally landing on our final proposition at 5pm. After a frenzied day, it quickly became apparent that creative process requires flexibility and free-thinking! The simplicity of the idea meant the deck didn't take too long to draft, but it was well beyond 5pm and the bar was very much dry by the time we finished. Despite missing out on some celebratory beers, we were proud of our work.
The crux of the idea was this: By focusing on the charity's storytelling initiative, we proposed that J.K Rowling could write a new version of the opening chapters for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone – Harry Potter and The Crying Shame.
Gone was the magic, replaced instead by a much more, unfortunately, realistic picture of how a life of deprivation can pan out for children. In our revised version, Harry doesn't end up going to Hogwarts but instead is kicked out onto the street by the Dursley's, sleeping rough on occasion and being passed around the care system, before falling into a spiral of drug use and exploitation. This stark change from the magical world we all read about was bound to make some noise and make people take notice of the issue.
The way we'd reveal this harrowing take on Harry's life would be through a simple and single tweet from J.K Rowling, causing international hype for the release of the new short story. When that lands, on Harry's birthday, the purpose would be revealed, leading to worldwide interest in The Children's Society's work.
It was a novel challenge for Jenny and I to take an idea from a brief to fully fledged idea within such a tight time frame, but ultimately we enjoyed the process.
Our top tips for those taking on a brief with 24 hours to respond would be:
Our submission is below. Ok... it didn't win, but not everyone can! Still, maybe it can provide some inspiration to those struggling to conquer a brief with the deadline fast approaching!

In "Reign of Error," columnist Paul Krugman is depressed that a new Harris poll says 50 percent of Americans believe Iraq really had weapons of mass destruction when it was invaded in 2003. That figure is up from 36 percent in February of 2005, in spite of all the international reports that say nothing was found in Iraq to justify the "imminent threat" to America described by President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, et al, in the run-up to the invasion.The problem? Well, F.T. misrepresents the facts by claiming that "the 'imminent threat' to America [was] described by President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, et al, in the run-up to the invasion." Of course, the whole point of a doctrine of pre-emption is to address a threat BEFORE it becomes imminent and that, of course, was the argument made by the Administration, for good or ill. That F.T. and the far Left have to misrepresent the argument made demonstrates the emptiness of their position.
And if F.T. wants to dispute the point, I cordially invite him to give me chapter and verse as to any time the President, Vice President, or any member of the Administration said the threat was imminent. A good discussion on the issue can be found here, and it makes the rational point that, while there may have been those in the Administration who tried to make the argument, the dominant argument was to the contrary. Indeed, the only examples that the author could find were instances of reporters putting words into the mouth of presidential spokesman Ari Fleischer:
In short, those who claim the Administration used the argument that Iraq was an "imminent threat" are not only misstating the facts. In fact, they are ignoring the uncontroverted evidence.
Moreover, there are extremely few instances in which any member of the Bush administration even suggested that Iraq posed an "imminent threat."
Twice, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer affirmed questions from reporters using the phrase "imminent threat" to describe the administration's case against Iraq. As the liberal Center for American Progress pointed out, when Fleischer was asked by a reporter on May 7 of this year, "Well, we went to war, didn't we, to find these -- because we said that these weapons were a direct and imminent threat to the United States? Isn't that true?" he replied, "Absolutely." And on October 16 of last year, a reporter asked, "Ari, the President has been saying that the threat from Iraq is imminent, that we have to act now to disarm the country of its weapons of mass destruction, and that it has to allow the U.N. inspectors in, unfettered, no conditions, so forth." Fleischer replied, simply, "Yes."
While Fleischer's affirmation of reporters' use of the phrase is indeed notable, it's important to keep in mind that he never uttered the words himself - hardly conclusive evidence in the matter.
There is obviously some argument against the doctrine of preemption, and against virtually every Administration policy, and certainly, respectably people have respectably made them. However, any argument which begins from the premise that the term "imminent threat" to America was used by President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, et al, in the run-up to the invasion is a bald-faced lie, and speaks volumes about both the integrity of its advocate, and the reason of their position.
Of course, in the modern world, that's what it takes to be on the far Left.
UPDATE: Oh my! When F.T. is called out for his lies, he engages in ... more lies! Now he's questioning my legal credentials. I guess it just demonstrates how far removed he is from being an actual journalist, since a real journalist --- or anyone capable of your basic Internet search --- would have little trouble confirming that I am, as F.T. puts it, "actually ... a lawyer."

BOSTON, Mass. - Led by Sydney Carfagno's match-high 13 kills and a combined .258 hitting percentage the regionally ranked Blue of Wellesley College (17-2) defeated volleyball (8-9) by the final of 3-0 Thursday evening at the Clark Athletic Gym.
In game one of what has become one of the biggest matches the Beacons play every season, the two teams battled back and forth. In total the two squads were tied on the scoreboard nine times, but the decision would ultimately fall to the Blue as they earned a 26-24 win. In the second and third games, Wellesley used early runs to gain some distance on the scoreboard. A 6-0 run to start the second would be all Wellesley needed to earn the 25-15 victory.
The third game saw another early run by the Blue, but the Beacons did manage to erase that lead and eventually tied the contest a total of four times with the lead switching hands twice. Unfortunately a late push by Wellesley secured a 25-20 decision and the non-conference win over UMB.
Wellesley entered Thursday's match ranked fourth in New England in the top-35 in all of Division III women's volleyball. Carfagno's night saw the All-American hitter score her 13 kills on 29 attempts. She also managed seven digs and a solo block and block assist.
For the Beacons, junior Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) and freshman Patsy Boland (Chicago, Ill.) each recorded a match-high nine kills, with Morrison hitting a team-best .412. Julia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) finished third one the team with seven kills.
Senior Megan Pollock (Wilton, Calif.) took over as the Beacons go-to setter for Thursday's match and finished with 21 assists, four short of tying her season best. Libero Elizabeth Glavan (Edina, Minn.) recorded a match-high three aces and 13 digs to lead the Beacons backline. Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, Calif.) finished second with six digs. Combined the Beacons recorded four team blocks with Murphy scoring two block assists and one solo stop. Morrison also finished with a pair of block assists as well.
Finishing second in kills for the Blue was Caitlin Laughlin with eight. She also led the match with an impressive .500 hitting percentage. Setters Hilary Ayers and Maddie Koh combined for 31 assists respectively. Ayers also had two of the team's four service aces and managed a pair of digs.
Defensively Traci Hamanaka tied the match-high with 13 digs. Kellyn O'Brady also helped the back row as she finished with eight digs. At the net Wellesley combined for one solo block and 10 block assists. Brooke Fieldman led her team with three block assists, while Carfagno recorded the team's only solo stop.
Volleyball returns to action on Tuesday when they travel to the University of Southern Maine for a 7 p.m. Little East Conference match. The match was originally scheduled for a 6 p.m. start but was moved back one hour earlier today.

TV anchor and political commentator, Chris Matthews, recently linked Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to the cause of two nationally covered killings of public officials.
"We've got a Texas senator, Ted Cruz, who won't let the Senate hold a democratic vote on gun safety. So, no democracy. We've got people out there using guns to get even with public officials, intimidating those they don't kill," Matthews said during his MSNBC show, "Hardball with Chris Matthews," on Wednesday.
Matthews said the Republican resolve to protect the Second Amendment right to bear arms has contributed to the two tragic high-profile shootings of law enforcement officials in Texas and Colorado.
In Colorado, a prison chief was killed in his own home earlier in March, which officials believes was the act of a former prisoner that had been released from prison. In Texas, the Kaufman County district attorney and his wife were found shot dead last weekend, adding to the death of a county prosecutor killed in January. Some elected officials have speculated that the killings are the work of a group like the white supremacist prison gang, the Aryan Brotherhood, or drug cartels.
"We have people using guns to settle their disputes with public officials using their second amendment remedies. Don't like the sound of this? Think it's an overstatement? There comes a time when overstatement becomes the truth out there," Matthews said.
Cruz is among a group of Senate Republicans who've taken a hard-lined stance against any possible restrictive gun legislation, even going so far as to threaten to filibuster if the legislation reaches the floor.
Cruz's office has not yet responded to requests for comment about Matthews' remarks. We'll update this post if/when we hear from the senator's office.

Magdeburg is a modern city rich in history
Many nicknames have been given to the 1200 year old city in the heart of Germany and the centre of Europe bearing testimony to the rich and colourful past of Magdeburg: Cathedral City, Hanseatic City, Fortress City, City of the New Building Movement, Luther City, Magnetic City, Elbe City, City of Parks and Gardens, City of Otto von Guericke, Sports City, City of Science and "Magdeburg – City of Otto the Great".
Whichever name you prefer, you will find that Magdeburg is a city full of surprises.
Magdeburg surprises... with a striking variety of experiences
From the first Gothic cathedral erected on German soil to the "smartest" tower in the world in the Elbauenpark – Magdeburg offers an impressive insight into the cultural and intellectual history of mankind Visitors quietly enjoying the great works in the Art Museum of the Monastery of Our Lady or joining in on music festivals in the streets contribute to the fact that the cultural life of the city is surprisingly diverse and colourful. Whether you prefer to sit in silence in one of the churches of the old city centre or go on a shopping spree in the modern bustling shopping centres, Magdeburg amazes with its variety of experiences.
Magdeburg surprises... with world history events
Magdeburg was once the cradle of the German Nation. Otto the Great, the first Holy Roman Emperor, made Magdeburg his favourite palatine, commissioned the erection of a mighty cathedral as well as elevated the city into an Archbishopric despite all opposition. The city shaped up to become a centre of the Christian occident where Magdeburg was home to the Oberhof, a supreme authority which played a major role in the history of medieval legislation.
Martin Luther preached in Magdeburg where he turned the city into an important protestant stronghold; Otto von Guericke invented the air pump as well as discovered the vacuum; the Baroque composer Telemann wrote his first opera in Magdeburg; the engineer Hermann Gruson introduced chilled cast iron products, a breathtaking development in mechanical engineering; Hans Grade carried out the first German motorised flight attempt in the Cracauer Anger area and the engineer Rudolf Nebel made first attempts to promote the launch of a rocket with a human passenger on board.
Magdeburg surprises... with atmosphere
Magdeburg Cathedral is the undisputed architectural gem of the capital city. There is no other place in the city where the old and the new as well as tradition and modernity come face to face so impressively. When THE GREEN CITADEL® OF MAGDEBURG, the last architectural project by the famous artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, was completed in 2005, it offered a pleasing contrast to the unique architectural legacy which had evolved over the past 1000 years, including the Gothic cathedral, the Romanesque monastery, the Baroque city Palais as well as modern buildings.
However there is more to the city than just this attraction. Magdeburg displays a colourful variety of architectural styles where Baroque town houses, stunning Gründerzeit architecture and several buildings in Art Nouveau style as well as the influence of the New Building movement under the famous architect Bruno Taut, the Zuckerbäcker or the Postmodern style have contributed to compose the face of the city.
In addition, the second greenest city in Germany provides many excellent opportunities for long walks, bicycle tours and picnics. The many stately parks and gardens, the river Elbe running through Magdeburg and the wide scenic river landscape combine to offer relaxation, sporting activities and cultural events for everyone.
Magdeburg surprises... with culture
In addition to the Monastery and various churches, Magdeburg Cathedral continues to be the landmark of the city, dominating the historic city centre. It forms the centrepiece of the Romanesque Road, a popular tourist route taking you through Saxony-Anhalt with its abundance of ancient castles, monasteries and picturesque churches.
The city is home to theatres, museums, galleries and comedy venues and has an active cultural scene which adds to the variety of entertainment choices.
Magdeburg thrives on its diversity and is an excellent place to spend some hours in a pleasant atmosphere. And when the days are longer and the evenings warmer you have absolutely no reason to stay at home. There is a whole lot going on in Magdeburg: imaginative summer theatre in historical settings, opera and operetta performances on the lake stage, glowing hot air balloons in the Elbauenpark, classical concerts in various parks as well as the Park Jazz Festival.
In Magdeburg you need not only be a spectator. Why not take part in the many sporting activities Magdeburg has to offer: cycling along the Elberadweg, the most popular German cycle path, canoe or dragon boat trips on the river Elbe, riding and golfing in the Herrenkrug area or jogging and skating in the Stadtpark Rotehorn as well as much more.
Magdeburg surprises... with thirst for knowledge
|© Landeshauptstadt Magdeburg
Due to the new Port of Science and the modern Denkfabrik as well as innovation and start-up centres and application-oriented scientific institutes such as the Fraunhofer Institute, the Experimental Factory, the Max Planck Institute, the Leibniz Institute and the Centre for Neuroscience Innovation and Technology, Magdeburg has made a name for itself as an innovative science and research location.
Magdeburg surprises... with its central location
Magdeburg is one of the biggest cities to be found in East Germany with 230 000 inhabitants and covering an area of 200 km².

'You're not going to get me impeached, are you?'
President Barack Obama listened to immigration activists run through a long wish list of executive actions – then added a request of his own.
"You're not going to get me impeached, are you?" Obama said, according to people in a private White House meeting late last month. "Because there's lots of other things I want to do besides immigration."
Story Continued Below
The president was joking … mostly. Obama said he was frustrated that Republicans wouldn't talk about passing an immigration bill but were openly toying with an impeachment vote over the notion that he would use his executive powers to circumvent Congress.
( Also on POLITICO: Does the GOP need a FrankenCandidate?)
The issue came up enough in the meeting, one person in the room said, that it caused some anxiety among immigration reform advocates that Obama could use the threat of impeachment as a rationale against going too big or too fast on executive actions.
Impeachment is one of the rare things that nearly everyone in Washington can agree on: it's a radical idea, and there's no way it's happening. But in a White House that's seen enough ideas move from the fringe to the mainstream they are, with a level of disbelief, finding themselves talking about the topic more and more.
This time last year, after all, few believed the Republicans would actually shut down the government over Obamacare.
White House aides haven't called in the lawyers yet or had a formal strategy session. But it's coming up in conversations inside the West Wing, and there's even an argument from Democratic allies who think that impeachment — or, at the very least, more talk about it — could be great for Democrats politically and even give the White House the kind of focus it's been lacking of late.
( Also on POLITICO: An Obamacare disconnect in N.C.)
Obama's been paying attention, too. "You hear some of them — 'Sue him,' 'Impeach him,'" he said, laughing along with the crowd at a speech in Austin, Texas, last week. "Really? Really? For what? You're going to sue me for doing my job? Okay."
The president's public comments came after Sarah Palin wrote a Breitbart News column that said Obama's record of "lawlessness" running up the debt and threatening American workers, "if after all this he's not impeachable, then no one is."
"His unsecured border crisis is the last straw that makes the battered wife say, "no mas,'" Palin wrote.
Then there's Iowa Republican Senate nominee Joni Ernst or Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, who added Benghazi to the list of possible offenses. And initial polls from YouGov and Rasmussen show Republicans at large favoring the idea by huge, better than two-thirds margins — all connecting to the larger GOP argument that Obama has overreached with executive actions and efforts to circumvent Congress.
( Also on POLITICO: Ready for Warren? Backers start site)
For some Democrats, the idea that Republicans may overreach with impeachment talk reminds them of the lost opportunity of the government shutdown. In polls and fundraising, the party never clocked higher numbers than during the shutdown, but the Obamacare website meltdown squandered any Democratic momentum.
"It has the potential to wake up a lot of Democrats whose energy level about voting this year is low," said Democratic consultant Joe Trippi.
Democrats have been struggling with how to get African-Americans and Latinos to turn out in force this year the way Obama did in 2008 and 2012. Impeach him over immigration reform, they say, and Republicans will do the work for them.
"The more they talk about it, the more it has a red hot effect on their base. So if you can get the temperature just right, you're turning out all your base voters and Democrats don't take it seriously and it's a good year for you," Trippi said. "If that stove gets just a little too hot and you lose control of it, you're going to have every Democrat on the planet turning out to stop it."
The president, aides say, isn't embracing the political argument. He'll joke about it in front of a friendly crowd, but he doesn't like the idea of delegitimizing him as president and the certainty he feels that if he gets impeached, it's only a matter of time before the next Democratic president gets impeached, too.
"Impeachment is obviously a very serious topic being bandied about in an unserious way by unserious people," said senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer.
"We understand that some on both sides could find potential for this to be good politics," said another senior administration official on Tuesday. "We think it's dangerous and corrosive to trivialize something so serious as impeaching the president of the United States.

So Lindsay Lohan is releasing some spray tan for $35 at Sephora.
She says: "As much as I love the sun, it is so bad for your skin. I have tried every product on the market and never found something that I loved. It was important to me to have a natural product that didn't have a lot of dyes and chemicals. Our product has goji berry extract which has antioxidant properties, it has a natural golden color, it doesn't streak and smells delicious — not like a typical tanning product."
I don't get it. Which part of her looks naturally tanned? and not like a wrinkly satsuma? Not to mention the fact the tan ages her badly – real or fake.
Isn't it like Posh releasing a toothpaste to brighten the smile?
But would you buy this product or test it out?

Professor Recognized for Cutting-Edge Research
Suffolk University's Sokol Celo, PhD, recently received multiple prestigious awards at two international conferences.
The Sawyer Business School Assistant Professor of Strategy and International Business won the Temple University/Academy of International Business (AIB) Best Paper Award at the 2012 AIB international conference meeting earlier this summer.
The Academy of International Business is the leading association of scholars and specialists in the field of international business. Temple University's Fox School of Business endows an award for the best paper at the AIB Annual Meetings. Celo received the award for an article he co-authored with Ay Chacar of Florida International University.
Their winning article, titled, Country Relatedness and International Coherence, proposed an alternative approach in international business research "that relies on survivor data culled from the actions of individuals and firms to compute country relatedness," as opposed to the conventional approach, which is "to consider and/or compute country distance as independent of individual firm actions." In addition, the paper introduces the concept of firm's international coherence and investigates its effects on firm performance.
The pair began the study by computing country relatedness for 24,000 public MNEs worldwide, and they confirmed their hypothesis after measuring international coherence for a sample of 1,000 US MNEs.
In addition to the AIB award, Celo was one of four finalists for the International Management Division Fundação Dom Cabral Best Paper in Strategy/International Business Theory Award at the Academy of Management annual meeting.
He also was later selected for the Academy of Management Best Paper Proceedings, which categorizes him into the top-10 percent of submitted papers.
Celo specializes in international business, international location decisions, cognition and managerial decision-making, and institutional change and has more than 20 years of teaching experience. He teaches Globalization, an undergraduate course that introduces processes and concepts that define today's international business environment, as well as Strategic Management, a capstone course for the undergraduate students.
