Friedemann, Armstrong
Urge Increased Prayer
By Rosalaine Anderson
Bethel students were greatly in-spired
by the heart stirring mes-sages
given by the missionaries
on Prayer and Mission Day. Chris-tian
young people were challenged
to lay all on the altar and go forth
to win souls for Christ. Prayer
and Mission Day is a day which
will be long remembered in the
hearts of students, faculty, and
Central Europe
One of the morning speakers,
Mrs. Lera B. Friedemann gave a
very clear picture of Central Eu-rope,
for many years without a
Bible. Mr. and Mrs. Friedemann
were the first to bring the Bible
to these people again after it had
been hidden from them for centu-ries.
The people of Europe wor-shipped
idols because they did not
know the true God.
The morning session closed with
an interesting message by Mr.
Bernie Armstrong of Congo, Afri-ca.
He began his ministry among
the African people as an industrial
and educational worker, but now
is also a Christian Evangelist in
that field.
Mrs. Armstrong pointed out that
men of Congo are in darkness, but
that they want light. Her happy,
smiling face plainly revealed in-terest
in the Lord's work in Afri-ca.
Mrs. Armstrong's message
closed with an appeal to Christian
youth to answer God's call for
"The people of China have a
great many burdens to bear," stat-ed
Miss Linnea Nelson, a mission-ary
of that land. The war has
brought fear, hunger, disease, and
the problem of housing homeless
people. In spite of these burdens,
there is a greater desire to know
Christ, who is the great burden
bearer. "Come unto me, all ye
that labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest." Matt.
The day closed with a splendid
message given by G. P. Schroeder,

Words Fly Thick and Fast As
Republicans-Democrats Scrap
By Russell Taft
Politics in the raw—the elephant
and the donkey in heated contro-versy;
the two major parties in
mortal combat—in short, the set-tlement
with finality of the presi-dential
election, was for you to
witness in the Bethel gym last
evening. The Republican commit-teeman,
Mr. Dale Bjork, presented,
as Champion of the Renaissance
of 1940, the Honorable Carl Lund-quist;
the Democratic Committee-man,
Grant Samuelson, presented
as the Conservator of Liberalism,
the Honorable Gustav Ferre.
Cheers and tears, boos and buga-boos—
everything was in order ex-cept
brass knuckles, and it was ex-pected
that the police would be on
hand to prevent the politicians
from resorting to fisticuffs.
Now a word in your ear—it was
the Alexis Society which was re-
"American prosperity depends
upon unlimited productivity, not
`Rooseveltian distributed scarc-ity.'
"Roosevelt has lost faith in the
private enterprise in America. I
firmly believe that....modern indus-trial
frontiers are only . . . now be-ginning
to open."
= "Scientific research is yielding
. . . tremendous examples of pro-ductivity."
"To disregard the third term is-sue
in this campaign will be to
forever abrogate any restraint
upon the office of the President of
the United States of America... It
is a serious issue."
"Some time ago . . . Roosevelt
said that there was no such a thing
as an indispensable man. He now
calls himself indispensable."
"Quoting Mr. Roosevelt: 'I have
no desire for this office again.' On
November 5th we, as the people of
America, will grant him his de-sire!"

Solution, Personal and National Invest November Pennies
By Cliff Bjorklund
"If my people, which are called
by my name shall humble them-selves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sins, and will
heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:
Full of grievous problems is the
world today, and many are the
lands in desperate need of healing.
Many are the individuals facing
grievous problems, and many in-dividual
lives are in need of heal-ing.
Many, too, are the solutions
offered and panaceas presented for
the healing of world, national, and
personal diseases. (Certainly we
who have heard of conditions in
the world today from missionaries
on Prayer and Mission Day can
partially see the great need for a
healing power.) Yet, in spite of
them, the world and its people are
perplexed and suffering.
Clearly and immediately under-standable,
beautiful in its power
and simplicity, certain in its effect,
this promise remains the only hope
for nations and individuals who
surely need healing. There are
those who say, "Yes, but this is a
complex world and so are its prob-lems.
How shall we find and fol-low
the ways of God in this fren-zied
The ways of God are and ever
shall be the same now as they
were in the days of Israel. God's
standards do not change; eternal
and plain through the ages is the
road He has made for man. Our
failures to find and follow God's
way in this world are due to no
fault of the way itself, but our lack
of vision to see it—our lack of
courage to follow it when we have
found it. And we lack that vision
and courage because we do not
seek them at their source. God
has made the way for us, and He
Tomorrow is the first day of the
1940 penny-a-meal campaign. Of
the three million two hundred for-ty
thousand meals eaten by the
members of the Swedish baptist
General Conference during last No-vember,
626,845 meals were repre-sented
in the Penny-a-Meal boxes.
Maybe some don't know just
what this Penny-a-Meal campaign
is about. A penny for every meal
eaten throughout the month of No-vember
is put in a box-bank pro-vided
for the purpose. This money
is then sent to Bethel Institute.
Last year $6,268.45 was taken in
by this method. Thirteen thousand
boxes were sent out. This means
that there was an average of 48.2
Wandering Reporter
Ye wandering reporter, attend-ing
a class for a change, noticed
that the door had opened slightly.
Miss Teacher, who seemed to be
in an ill humor over the good hu-mor
of the class, went over to
give the door a good slam. Some-one
gasped! Another just about
fainted! Outside the door stood
another Miss Teacher. If Miss
Teacher had slammed the door on

will grant us vision and fortitude
to follow it.
"Our Father, help us to know
that the only way out of our sor-rows
and troubles and perplexities
lies in humbling ourselves, praying
and seeking Thy Face. Grant that
we may believe that when we have
done these things sincerely, Thou
wilt hear us, forgive us our sins,
and heal our land. Bestow upon us,
we pray, the desire to find Thy
way with strength to follow it, and
power to bring others into it.
cents in each box. This is a little
over half of the potential ninety
cents for the ninety meal-times
during November. If ninety cents
were taken in from each of the ap-proximately
13,000 boxes sent to
260 churches, we could swell our
budget by a total of $11,700.00.
Ninety cents a year isn't much;
yet, many grains of sand make the
seashore. This year, the sixth of
this campaign, we could, with co-operation,
very easily go over the
$10,000.00 mark. Certainly, the
Lord does bless us, so go to Him
for guidance in this matter, and
you will receive a blessing for ev-ery
mite that is given.

We feel that a discussion of taxi-dermy
as a hobby is timely, as we
are now in the midst of the hunt-ing
season. Pheasants roasted are
delicious; but pheasants stuffed
and mounted are a joy forever, if
the moths don't get into them!
Why not eat your bird and have it
In our school library there is a
helpful little book by Leon L. Pray,
Taxidermy, in which he makes
suggestions for the amateur rather
than the professional taxidermist.
Listed as essential tools are a
pocket-knife, scissors, combination
wire-cutter and pliers, needles,
thread, cord, tweezers, hammer,
saw, and small drill set.
Skins can be moth-proofed by the
use of an arsenic solution, the rec-ipe
for which can be found in Mr.
Pray's book. For relaxing dry skins
a solution of carbolic acid is rec-ommended,
When the skins have been prop-erly
treated, bodies are fashioned
from excelsior and wired into
place. Enameled artificial eyes
give a life-like appearance to fin-ished
models, which are improved
by the judicious use of plaster of
paris and oil paints to conceal any
rips or holes.
You probably have noticed many
times while driving along a high-way
that birds and small animals
often meet with disaster and are
left to die and rot. Why not pick
up some of these unfortunate crea-tures
who have been freshly killed
and mount them, rather than al-low
them to be utterly wasted?
You can easily tell whether a speci-men
is good or not.
Mussed or blood-stained speci-mens
should not necessarily be
discarded. Look them over first.
Many such specimens may be
cleaned very easily and come out
in the finish as nearly perfect as
others that appeared much better
at the start.
The requirements for a success-ful
taxidermist, whether profes-sional
or amateur, are a moderate
amount of patience and attention
to detail. Practise will give ease
and deftness in handling speci-mens
and sympathetic attention to
the art will bring about a personal
system of managing details. Quiet
thought and very little main
strength are needed.
This hobby will provide many
fascinating hours for the lover of
field and gun. Besides, it will af-ford
material compensation to the
amateur who takes it up in a com-mercial
way, doing the work for
others who have neither the time
nor desire for preparing their own
specimens. It is a work which af-fords
much opportunity for creat-ive
outlet. For instance, a squirrel
may be mounted sitting up on his
hind legs and holding a nut be-tween
his forepaws, or he may be
shown clinging to a stump with
his head bowed as if he were pray-ing.
It all depends upon what the
taxidermist wants to do.

Shrieks of terror resounded
through darkened J. C. halls last
Friday as the freshmen held their
first class party, the plans for
which were drafted along Hallow-e'en
Forty frosh stumbled up chair
cascaded stairs as pails of water
descended from above. Eighty
hands and eighty knees scraped
along leave-strewn floors as forty
proud heads bowed their magnifi-cence
into the grimy interior of a
suspiciously damp barrel.
Eighty feet stumbled excitedly
unto a surface of rollers; and
eighty hands grasped frantically
for support. Forty frosh were
much smeared up as their efforts
to gain support netted them jelly
smeared fingers.
There were forty people who
were led back to the gym, wet and
a little the worse for wear.
Bob Norstrom led games in the
gym as the "poor" freshmen as-sembled
in their "hard-time" out-fits.
Prominent eccentricities of
the group were three suspicious
looking characters who wore "We
voted for Winkle in '40" signs.

were served in the coffee shop.

In the last event of the day, the
Alumni will attempt to vanquish
the regular Bethel basketball in
the traditional Alumni-Institute
game in the gymnasium. This game
should prove to be a very hotly
contested tussle, with the alumni
gaining the services of recent let-ter-
men of the Red-and-White. The
alumni squad will consist of five
of last-year's letter-men: Don John-son,
Del Ray Peterson, Gus Ferre,
Stan Paulson, and Bob Hovinen.
In addition to these five men, the
Alumni will have on the squad
Carl Young, Robert Wingblade,
Bill Adam and Everett Backlin.
Opposing this roster will be a
tentative Bethel squad of ten men.
Those who are turning out for
basketball and who are being ask-ed
to dress for the game consist
of five letter-men, Gordon Peter-son,
Gene Nyman, Lowell Mar-quardt,

Advance plans for the 1941 Spire
indicate that this year's annual will
present a well-rounded and an un-usually
interesting view of Bethel
school life.
The staff has already been
selected, Elving Anderson act-ing
as editor and Mary Ann
Liljenstrom as business man-ager.
Clifford Bjorklund has
begun work as Spire photog-rapher,
and Robert Norstrom
will head the advertising de-partment.
This year's Spire will be dedi-cated
to Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom in
view of his long years of service
as president of Bethel. To express
appreciation for his faithful lead-ership,
a portion of the yearbook
will be entirely devoted to a story
of Dr. Hagstrom's life. Accom-panying
this biography, pictures
will show Dr. Hagstrom as teacher,
minister of the gospel, and presi-dent
of Bethel. Recent snapshots
will show him in familiar school
One portion of the yearbook
will present a short review of
the history of Bethel. This
year is memorable in that it
marks the seventieth anniver-sary
of the founding of Bethel
Institute and the tenth anni-versary
of the Junior College.
Among the new features, plans
call for a calendar of school activi-ties.
Along with this month-by-month
account of interesting
events, informal snapshots will re-veal
aspects of student life.
The circulation assistants have
just completed a subscription drive
among the students. All students
should pay for their annuals be-fore
November 18, Miss Liljen-strom
advises. The price of the
yearbook is $1 for students and
$1.50 for all others. In the latter
part of November a campaign to
interest the friends of Bethel in
the 1941 Spire will begin.

In Football Finale
The sophomore Comets won the
all-school touch football champion-ship
by a decisive victory over the
Seminary team, which was led by
Truman Halvorsen. The Comets
outplayed their opponents in all
departments of the game and
emerged on the long end of a score
of 24-0. This score, added to the
107 already scored by the victors,
malws a grand total of 131 points
for the season. Their goal line has
been crossed only once all season.
The Sophs responsible for win-ning
the championship by taking
six games straight are: Captain
Gerald Larson, "Red" Marquardt,
Gene Nyman, Gordon Johnson,
Gunnar Hoglund, Dale Bjork, Ken-ny
Nordquist, and Gordon Nelson.
The Seminary team, second
place winners, scored a total of 72
points and closed the season with
a record of four wins and two loss-es.
The two frosh teams which
were eliminated were captained by
Bob Beck and Bob Dischinger.

religion is done away with and
anyone who dares to even mention
the name of Christ is put to death,
he said. Mr. Schroeder now trav-els

telling others of the Christ Who
came to save. He favored the audi-ence
with some Russian songs and
a few choruses, while he played
the accompaniment on his Russian
guitar. A great challenge was is-sued
to every one present: "Can
God Depend On You?"
Each missionary stressed the
fact that more workers are need-ed.
The results of missionary lab-ors
are amazing, but much more
could be done if there were a few
more laborers.

squad is rounding into
shape. Starting Monday, Novem-ber
4th, practice periods are sched-uled
for every day of the week
from 3:00 to 3:45 o'clock. Coach
Bill Adam urges the members of
the squad to come out as often as
possible so as to get as much in-struction
as they can.
The first big test of the
team's abilities is coming at 7
p.m. on December 6th, when
they will play the girls from
the Northwestern Bible School
here in our gym.
The girls who will carry the ma-jor
responsibility of this team's
success will be those who have had
previous experience: Mary Anne
Liljenstrom, Virginia Carlson, Olga
Anderson, Ethel Tederman, and
Arlene Johnson. The new girls
who have shown promise of help-ing
along are: Betty White, who
handles herself very nicely on the
floor, Margaret Erickson, Sara Mae

Kimi ni Todoke - Reaching You [Manga]
I noticed that there wasn't a thread so far for this manga, which just recently won the 2008 Kodansha Manga Award for best shōjo manga, so I thought I'd throw one up for those that haven't heard of it, and see what others that have read it think of it.
Kimi ni Todoke (君に届け, Kimi ni Todoke? lit. Reaching you) is a romance shōjo manga by Karuho Shiina. It has been published by Shueisha in Bessatsu Margaret since 2006 and has 7 tankobon released so far (2 scanlated, none published outside of Japan yet).
Spoiler for pics:
Plot Summary: Sawako Kuronuma, called Sadako by her classmates for her resemblance to the character from Ring, has always been feared and misunderstood because of her appearance. There are rumors that Sawako can see ghosts and curse people. But when her idol, popular boy Kazehaya, begins talking with her, everything changes. She finds herself in a new world, trying to make friends and talking to different people and she can't thank Kazehaya enough for giving her these opputunities. Slowly, but surely, a sweet love is blossoming between the two as they will overtake any circumstance or clear obstacles in their way.
My thoughts: So far I really enjoy this series, and I'm hoping that it's recent award win will motivate either a publisher in the US or a scanlation group to pick it up so I can get up to date on it. It's a very cute one, and so far very happy-go lucky except the last chapter or so, but I really like the overall postive feel that it has, as opposed to the overly depressing and tragic feel of a lot of shōjo manga. I think future chapters probably get a bit more serious, but overall I really like how most of the main characters so far seem like actually good people, and not screwed up weirdos. It's nothing too spectacular in terms of original story or character designs, but I really enjoy the art. It's not too airy, nor too many weird bubbly or flowery backgrounds, which turn me off a lot of shōjo, mainly because it tends to make it hard to make out what is really going on in any scene because everything blends together at times.
The main character does somewhat remind me of a female version of the lead in Angel Densetsu, but only with the fact that they have disturbing visages and keep a positive and somewhat innocent outlook on life and people even though they often get treated like crap. Two girls that are her friends (Yano and Yoshida) are both great characters I think, I especially like how they aren't the usual girl or boy side-kicks in a lot of manga, and actually seem to have brains and don't just react in stereotypical ways.
Anywho, I hope someone picks up this manga, because I'd really like to catch up on it, I get a feeling it starts to get a bit more serious and dramatic from where the scans leave off, but if the beginning is any indication I have a feeling it will still be well executed and hopefully make me feel all warm and fuzzy when all is said and done.

I see the pictures perfectly, Sokar.
BTW I purchased up to v7 of Kimi ni Todoke. I'll be honest. The beginning really bothered me. Sada - err - I mean Sawako felt too much like a ripoff of Hayakawa Tomoko's Sunako, except less amusing. I don't know, it just felt like she was trying too hard to go for the humor, and ended up a total "miss" for me. But I decided to continue this anyway, because I've read her other 6 volume work, Crazy For You, which had a decent story, though someone always came out with the short end of the stick [ cough #Akahoshi# cough].
I'm glad I didn't stop reading. After Sawako dropped the Sunako act, I saw something in her that was missing in Crazy's Sachi: a bumbling, giddy shyness in her approach to Kazehaya.
Anyway, if you could tell me where the scans left off, I might be able to do a summary for you like I did for the Sunadokei/BGI thread.

Really enjoying this series it's really great no wonder it's really popular in Japan and won awards. Enjoying this much more then The Wallflower which just didn't click with me got bored of that series after several volumes. Anyways I find Sawako to be a very loveable character love her acts eventhough she thinks she acting "normal" she really isn't making the scenes to be funny plus that weird laughs from her doesn't help either.
Also like how she tries her best to make friends and her reactions afterwords when she feels she's gotten closer to them I mean it's not like she's had a dramatic past it's just that she's really shy which made it hard for her to make friends. I'm liking how she's slowly opening up and being more talkative to people.

FYI, I managed to find ch 6-8 , so it looks like part of vol 3 is finally done. Hopefully they will either catch up to the current volume 7 sometime soon, or else maybe a publisher will pick it up. Either way, glad to see more of this story finally.

Oh my, I started this series when there was like 3 chapters and the 3rd one has the most horrible cliffhanger ever, "she's being bullied/her friends thought she betrayed her!"
I was like, what, no more!? No, mai Sawako, no! Glad to know it's continued since then. I guess I'm going to catch up to the scans soon...

I've just read all 8 translated chapters, and I find it to be a WONDERFUL piece of work. None of the stupid plot conventions I'm starting to hate so much in shoujo manga. I even got teary eyed at the end of chapter 7.
Sawako is such a funny and interesting character. I see alot of comparisions to her and The Wallflowers Sunako, but the only similiarity I see is the SD moments. Personally, she VERY much reminds me of Mihashi from Oofuri(Ookiku Furibatte...that baseball anime about the weird pitcher) not only in her mannerisms and facial expressions, but her admiration of Kazehaya is just like Mihashi's admiration of Abe, just in a more shoujo light.
Kazehaya, Yano, and Yoshida are excellent support characters. They not only compliment Sawako char emotionally, but comically as well. Ryu's good too, but there's not as much interaction with him as I'd like(except ch 8). Pin's antics are hiliarious, esp the 'running grandpa' thing he imagined.
Quick commenting on chap 8

^You've got to admit she's won out as a character with just her smile. It's the kind of smile guys fall in love for.
Chapter 8 was great, especially in developing Ryuu's underdeveloped character and hinting at his feelings. Like you I also found it funny how the pair tortured Prince Charming Kazehaya with their "cuddle up to Sawako" operation.
Moreover, I have to say it's interesting to see this manga subverts the shoujo convention by making the "adult"-looking pair the main character's best friends rather than evil bitches that many other shoujos out there make them all to be. Quite refreshing, really.
Two things I didn't like so far though (in the midst of many, many things to like):
1) The pretty, psycho girl character. It's arguably a necessary source of conflict, but I still don't like.
2) The author's habit of making chibis out of the characters, especially Sawako. She's really, really pretty in her "true form," but spends most of her time in stupid-chibi mode. Kind of like Sunako from the Wallflower, and it sucks.

According to ANN, Viz will be picking up the manga and release it in July. FINALLY, i get to see what happens after chap 8. With all the crap floating around, I'm really surprised a manga of this caliber stopped getting worked on.

Sweet, with all the awards it has garned I'd been surprised that no one was still scanlating it, but it looks like at least it will be picked up legit, and hopefully they won't have too slow of a release schedule.

I can't wait to find out more in terms of studio/cast/release dates. Also nice to know the manga is finally being picked up in the US, even though it's going on hiatus so she can have a baby.

I'm willing to bet that by the time the US releases catch up to the scanlated chapters, the anime will be out already . Btw, how many chaps per vol anyway?
I also thought the mangaka was already on hiatus a month or two ago. Must have read the information wrong back then.

I'm a new comer to this manga ever since ANN's announcement of an anime two days ago. But my goodness, I can't put this thing down. I'm on my 2nd read-through of the first 8 volumes. I love Sawako. She strikes such a strong chord in me, and though her experiences are extreme, seeing her reminds me of my own struggles throughout high school and the wonderful friends I've made there. Agh, I can't get enough. I can hardly wait for the anime and the Viz releases.

Unfortunately, all dates are all wrong. The real publishing date is only visible once you browser to the post itself. Is it not possible to set the date of the blog post to the original date? This is an issue on many other blog categories here too. And it's quite annoying.
I totally agree @Daniel Niccoli - my landing page post was the 'least worst' option. The platform doesn't support a 1:1 redirect as the naming is different, and apparently they couldn't be migrated with the 'old' dates. Having lost search relevance when moved previously from blogs.msdn.com to blogs.msdn.microsoft.com this is even worse. The original publish date was just about showing on the post tile - but even that seems to have changed and isn't visible now. Frustrating and annoying. Google does however seem to be finding the new location.

Abstract: In the fields of environmental design, "professional practice" can often limit imagination. In this context, a set of specific methods are used to define, articulate, and solve a specific problem at hand, often encumbered by legislated rules and limitations from standardization and tightly upheld boundaries between professional disciplines. These structures limit and compromise speculative ideas. This presentation will illuminate how a design profession can be opened up to allow the practical and the speculative to coexist, leading to previously untapped potential for innovation and invention.
Walter Hood is an Oakland, California-based designer, artist and educator. He is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley's landscape architecture and environmental design department. His studio practice, Hood Design, has been engaged in architectural commissions, urban design, art installations, and research since 1992. Hood specializes in the urban civic realm. Within it, his work ranges from small community-based places to large-scale landscape commissions. His studio recently completed a 1.1-megawatt photovoltaic array within the campus landscape at the University at Buffalo, the new Powell Street Promenade in San Francisco, and the new Sculpture Terrace for the Jackson Museum of Wildlife Art in Wyoming. Hood Design was also responsible for the gardens and landscape of the Herzog & de Meuron-designed De Young Museum, in San Francisco. Earlier projects located in Oakland, such as Lafayette Square and Splash Pad Park, are regarded as transformative designs for the field of landscape architecture. Hood was a fellow at the American Academy in Rome in Landscape Architecture in 1997, and he was the 2009 recipient of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award for Landscape Design. He has exhibited and lectured on his professional projects and speculative works internationally.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
A video series for middle school, high school, and adult learners; 6 one-hour video programs, downloadable discussion guide and Ethics reader, and Web site
1. Three Farewells: Medicine & the End of Life
This program looks at the difficult choices a loving family makes as they confront the end of life. When a perfect pregnancy ends in unforeseen complications, and the newborn suffers very severe brain injury, how should the parents decide what is best for their baby? When, a few years later, the baby's grandmother descends into dementia from Alzheimer's, should her earlier wish to forego all medical treatment be honored, even though she may no longer understand — or agree — with the statements she made when she was competent? Still later, another family member receives a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. If she is terminally ill, should she be able to avail herself of
medications to aid her in dying?
Go to this unit.
2. War Stories: National Security & the News
Four years previously, a coalition led by American forces invaded the Central Asian nation of Khaoistan, where warlords had destroyed the central government and were supporting major terrorist activities. Today, the process of rebuilding the nation and fighting off an insurgency continues, covered by a group of journalists based in the capital city. Meanwhile, back in the States, a journalist covering national security issues investigates allegations of illegal phone taps by the government. In each case, reporters are faced with dilemmas that go to the heart of their responsibilities as journalists, and as Americans. Go to this unit.
3. My Brother's Keeper
In a neighborhood perhaps like your own, in a family perhaps not too different from yours, individuals struggle with their college applications, with promotions at work, with the actions of their neighbors, and try to determine what to do when important values about questions of fairness, loyalty, secrets, and trust conflict. Go to this unit.
4. Choosing Justice: Elections and Judicial Independence
John Fairfield, a former prosecutor and respected state trial judge, is thinking of pursuing a life-long dream: a seat on the state Supreme Court. In Fairfield's state, Centralia, all the judges are chosen in nonpartisan elections, with no limits on what can be spent — or said — in the process of campaigning. Fairfield wonders what will be required of him — especially regarding fundraising and political advertising in what will be a fiercely contested statewide campaign — and what the implications might be for the ethical integrity of the judiciary. Go to this unit.
5. A Better Brain: The Ethics of Neuro-Enhancement
Maria and her daughter Camilla are meeting with several challenges in this difficult time in their lives, from the exhaustion of working two jobs, to the pressure and loneliness of being an average, unpopular kid at school.
Yet it appears that some new pharmaceuticals may help each of them — if they choose to use them. New drugs have also found a place in the university setting where students find that Hype Pharmaceuticals' Alzheimer's drug, Rememberall, helps them study better, work faster and remember much more. By enhancing their performance this way, are they cheating? Are they possibly endangering themselves? Go to this unit.
6. Risk, Reward, Responsibility: Ethics in Business
Should the executives at Casablanca Cruise Lines have asbestos removed from their ships by a company based in the former Soviet republic of Novostan? The cost would be $80 million less than if an American company were used, but Novostani standards of worker safety are far less rigorous. What should executives at MaxiCorp disclose about accidents in cars using their device, which doubles the mileage of cars in which it is installed, when they have no idea whether their device is contributing to the accidents? And what should executives at Wowie Info do when the authoritarian government of Jaigunda demands the name of a Jaigundan customer who has been using Wowie's Internet services to criticize the government? In each case, panelists struggle to make sound business decisions while observing ethical imperatives in the changing global economy. Go to this unit.

Um Filme Sobre um Homem e Sua Música
Nelson Freire conta a história do menino-prodígio do interior de Minas Gerais que se tornou unanimidade internacional. Filmado no Brasil, na França, na Bélgica e na Rússia, o documentário acompanha a rotina de Nelson em concertos e recitais, desde o primeiro contato com o piano até a recepção dos admiradores no camarim. Uma música extraordinariamente bela pontua o filme: Nelson toca Brahms, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Bach, Gluck, Villa-Lobos, e interpreta Rachmaninoff a quatro mãos com Martha Argerich. Mais de 90 minutos de extras, incluindo a íntegra do concerto n.2 de Rachmaninoff com a Filarmônica de São Petersburgo. Sucesso de crítica e público. "Nelson Freire é um dos mais brilhantes pianistas de todos os tempos" - Time Magazine
A vida e obra de Nélson Freire, um dos principais pianistas brasileiros e do mundo na atualidade, retratada através de 31 blocos temáticos que mostram um homem e sua música.
Born in Boa Esperança, Brazil, Nelson Freire began piano lessons at the age of three with Nise Obino and Lucia Branco, who had worked with a pupil of Liszt. He made his first public appearance at the age of five playing Mozart's Sonata K. 331. In 1957, after winning a grant at the Rio de Janeiro International Piano Competition with Beethoven's "Emperor"Concerto, he went to Vienna to study with Bruno Seidlhofer, teacher of Friedrich Gulda. Seven years later he won the Dinu Lipatti Medal in London and first prize at the International Vianna da Motta Competition in Lisbon.
Since his international career began in 1959, Freire has appeared at virtually every important musical centre, in recital and collaborating with such distinguished conductors as Jirí Belohlávek, Pierre Boulez, Riccardo Chailly, Myung-Whun Chung, Sir Colin Davis, Charles Dutoit, Iván Fischer, Valery Gergiev, Alan Gilbert, Eugen Jochum, Fabio Luisi, Lorin Maazel, Kurt Masur, Ingo Metzmacher, Kent Nagano, Václav Neumann, Seiji Ozawa, David Robertson, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Yuri Temirkanov, Michael Tilson Thomas, Hugh Wolff, David Zinman and orchestras including the Berliner Philharmoniker, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester of Berlin, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Munich Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, Oslo Philharmonic, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Mariinsky, Tonhalle of Zurich, Accademia di Santa Cecilia, Vienna Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, London Symphony, BBC Symphony, Israel Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, São Paulo Symphony and Seoul Philharmonic, as well as the leading North American orchestras of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Montreal, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington. With Martha Argerich, he toured Japan in 2003, Brazil and Argentina in 2004 and the USA and Canada in 2005.
Freire has an extensive discography and was included by Philips in its historic series Great Pianists of the 20th Century, released in 1999. He has been an exclusive Decca artist since 2001, thus far recording Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Debussy, as well as the two Brahms Concertos with the Gewandhaus Orchestra under Riccardo Chailly, which was hailed by Gramophone as "the Brahms piano concerto set we've been waiting for" and has earned international prizes including the 2007 Classic FM Gramophone Award as "Record of the Year" and "Winner of the Concerto Category", Diapason d'or, Grand Prix de l'Académie Charles Cros and Choc du Monde de la musique as well as a Grammy® nomination. The Chopin bicentenary year of 2010 saw two new releases by Freire: his recording of the complete Nocturnes and a recital album containing the Second Sonata, Op. 10 Etudes and Barcarolle. In the Liszt bicentenary year of 2011 Decca released his recital album Harmonies du Soir. His new album Brasileirois planned for release in summer 2012.
In March 2007, Nelson Freire was appointed a Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres by the French government and in January 2011 he was made a Chevalier (Knight) of the Légion de'Honneur, the French government's highest award to a foreigner.

In our experience free backup tools often have annoying restrictions, especially when they come from commercial companies who really want you to upgrade. Paragon Backup and Recovery 2013 Free is an exception, though: the program comes packed with functions and features, more than enough to satisfy the demands of many PC users.
After choosing the drive you'd like to back up, and the archive destination (which can be a local or network drive, CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray discs), for instance, there are all kinds of options on offer. So you can choose to exclude particular file types from the backup in a click or two; set your archive compression level; password-protect your backup for security; set up CD/ DVD/ Blu-ray disc burning options, and more.
A comprehensive scheduler means your backup job can be automatically run at system startup, logon, daily, weekly or monthly.
Switch to the Advanced Mode and you'll find even more options, including the ability to create differential backups of your drive, as well as a useful set of partitioning tools (there's everything you need to create, format, move, resize, hide, unhide, delete and otherwise organise your partitions).
None of this gets in your way, though - in fact you don't even get to see most of these options unless you go looking. If you're happy with the default settings then a helpful wizard will walk you through the process of setting up a backup job with the absolute minimum of hassle.
And restoration is just as straightforward. It's easy to restore anything from a single file within your backup to an entire image, and the program's Recovery Builder helps you build a bootable recovery disc so you'll be able to restore your backups even if your PC is corrupted and won't boot. Note you'll need to download this separately after registering the product - log into your Paragon account and choose My Downloads to access this.
The latest 2014 edition adds full support for Windows 8.1, Storage Spaces and UEFI. It also introduces a New Backup Format tab, allowing users more flexibility with backing up by using a new pVHD (Paragon Virtual Hard Drive) format. There's also a refreshed UI and updated recovery media builder added, allowing users to create a Linux-based recovery disc.
Paragon Backup and Recovery 2014 Free comes packed with options, yet remains easy to use, and the program maintains its position as the best free drive backup tool

I love the exuberance of this young girl's look. She is not a size 4 and she is not making excuses.

She is quite beautiful
She is adorable!
and she is not wearing all black!
A lot sexier than the waifs that prowl the runway.
And why even make a comment about her weight? It's about time we all got over this, style has nothing to do with size.
i think it's bizarre that you would even mention the fact that she's NOT a size 4, because, like…who is? (besides the celebs and models and fashion editors you shot for style.com?) what is bizarre is that her size is even mentioned because, while she may not be a 4 — she is also not a 16. she has a very average and healthy body… why not dress it up???
How refreshing! I would love to see more "not size 4s" in all their fashionable glory.
Real people are always nice to see, and the world is not just devoted to the small, thin. This woman looks very comfortable in her skin..
I only mention size because I get emails asking to shoot more women that are bigger than a size 4.
I will continue to shoot only what i like regardless of size but I am always happy to see style in all different sizes packages.
She's fabulous. The mix of the fur and the print on the dress is so funky and daring.
It's funny how tastes change; in clothes, haircuts, body shape, etc. Up until the late 50′s this woman would have been considered a '10′, as the look was all about curves. She is still gorgeous, and knows how to dress.
Ugh. People are too testy and sensitive. I like "not a size 4″. I like the statement in itself. I think I will claim it next time I share measurements or when someone asks my size, which they do in my business -"Well thank you for asking. I am not a size 4″. Sart, thankfully you still live in a world (even if it was just an e-world) where you can shoot who you want, when you want, why you want. It's all about your eye and desire from size 0 – 24.
She has great individual style…combined with the best fashion accessory there is…………a BIG smile!!!
Yes, She is not size 4. So what? She is even more beautiful than all the size 4s who don't eat.
Way to go, girl!
About time a photo of a girl who is not stick thin (and I don't say this due to my size – I'm a 2). But women come in thousands of beautiful sizes and shapes and I personally would love to see a representation of them all here.
Thanks – she is beautiful!
This is how curvy women should dress – they should own their shape! Don't try to squeeze into skinny jeans, because they just won't suit you… instead look to the past, to feminine dresses, and v necks and everything that emphasises your curves and show off everything you have that Kate Moss doesn't!
Thank you Sart. She's really cute, and it makes me happy just to look at her.
Many of the really skinny ones on your blog just look ill to me. Of course, not all skinny people look unhealthy at all; some do because they've starved themselves down to an unnatural size and it shows. But happily not this young woman!
She looks quite nice. Particularly her smile. It's a wide one, the best size there is for smiles.
Wow, and ruching can be so hard to pull off. She looks great – and the coat is Carrie Bradshaw-esque…
Is it just me or does she look a lot like Winnie from The Wonder Years?
it's funny how obsessed with weight and wanting to be be skinny americans are. since most americans are overweight (actually more like obsese) they want to be closer to something they are not/what they view as closer to what they think is ideal. americans are also lazy and horribly spoiled. i am american by the way. SF born and bred!
oh, and i love this girl! great cool style and cute curves!
just responding to catherine's post:
I'm curvy and wear skinny jeans and i'm not squeezing into them…its sad that girl's with bigger sizes get pegged for "sqeezing" into clothing. I'm a size 7 and I found the skinny jeans in my size.
ok, johanna – I just checked out your link and you're telling the truth! Perhaps they make jeans better in the US – here in Sydney I've seen a little too much "muffin-top" action for my liking!
But seriously, I guess I was just trying to say: play up your best assets, and don't feel you have to be something you're not :)
I've seen larger women rock the skinny jeans look with no muffin top, and smaller women do it poorly. People have to remember that fit is king and to always respect the shape of their body. Not all looks will work on all women. The young lady in this picture looks gorgeous because put her own particular look together, with respect and love for herself. It's not about the size and it's not about any particular piece.
Love the outfit – pattern and texture make that dress playful and fun! Of course, the pretty young woman wearing the dress is what makes it come alive.
she looks like danica mckellar (winnie cooper from the wonder years)
I'm happy to see San Francisco representing so splendidly. I very briefly went to the SF event (I could only stay 15 minutes into the reception beforehand) but I was studiously checking all my neighbors on BART and the street on my way to and fro, hoping The Sartorialist would get to see some of the splendid ladies who were out and about that day, but I didn't see her–even with the fur she's glorious!
Thank you, Sartorialist! I very much appreciated this lovely photo and your comment – you will only shoot what moves you regardless of size. I rarely see bigger women dressed smartly in Manhattan. I don't think they allow them on the island. Elsewhere, these women exist – they live beautifully in their own skin. I think a lack of well designed clothing 'over size 4′ is a problem. Why do designers ignore what would obviously be a lucrative market?
Part of what I like about her look is indeed the overt appreciation of the beauty of "ample". In a time where clothes are often deemed flattering and in good taste simply because of their potential of slimming a figure down, she seems to enjoy another aesthetic. I guess that's what you already said with "she is not making excuses". Not just her being unapologetic, but something much firmer. The prevailing trend is ultimately just a trend, not a style, not her style.
Gorgeous hair as well.
beautiful!! she looks like some kind of sultry songstress…glamour personafied!
Regardless of size, she's got style and that's what matters. I applaud her self-knowledge! (you can tell she knows her shpae and dresses for it). I wish I can model that healthy attitude for my daughter.
The woman is beautiful, but I don't like her outfit.
She's gorgeous and I love that coat! She certainly knows how to dress. I like the mix of the pattern of the dress with the pattern of the bag and coat. Its quite unexpected. There's something about her that reminds me of Margherita Missoni
'there's something about her that reminds me of' Silvana Mangano, or Claudia Cardinale, or Sofia Loren or…!!! helas! Ana Magnani!
Congratulations to 'the Sartorialist'
She looks like Salma Hayek, healthy, glowy, sexy and very smart. A like the fur, her hair, her style. Gorgeous !
You didn't happen to get her phone number? She is gorgous and so is the outfit. Can't go poast that smile.
Is it just me or does it seem like bigger women can wear fur easier than very skinny girls? It's easy for a stick-thin girl to look trashy in a big fur, but on a voluptuous girl they always look great! (To me, anyway)
She has a winning attitude and face, and it is nice to see someone who's not a super-waif. However, the dress is a bit amiss. Perhaps someone advised her that rouching would serve to de-emphasize her middle. However, the cut of that dress seems to *emphasize* her middle. She needs a dress that flatters her more and fits her better.
Gorgeous! And she knows the trick to looking sexy without looking desperate: you don't have to show so much skin if you dress to fit your shape, and (as mentioned) wear a big smile when appropriate.
I like the unexpected combination of the dress and the fur. I also like her hair…kind of Rita Hayworth-esque.
Love this site and love the girl's sweet smile. Do not love the flower and leopard patterns other then in small amounts and definately, not together.
Rather dashful, how real women should look, take a leaf out of her book, this girl certainly knows fashion and isn't afraid to show it.
I thought this was Selma Hayek for a second….
I wouldn't mind seeing more "real" body types – everyone (except some of the older men featured) is thin. I would ALSO like to see more body types featured without the need to even point it out. Pointing out that she's not a size 4 is a lot like pointing out an interracial couple: it's simply not required anymore. Cheers!
Confidence has no size. It just is. Some have it, some don't. She's got it. good for her.

TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cardiosonic, Inc., a private company developing innovative and proprietary technology in the field of Renal Denervation for the treatment of Hypertension, announced today that it has closed on the first $6.1 million of a planned $16.1 million series B financing. The round was led by a new strategic investor and joined by existing investor Shmuel Almagor. In addition the company announced that Michael Berman, an industry executive, has invested in the company and joined the board of directors as its Chairman.
Cardiosonic has successfully developed a high intensity, non-focused therapeutic ultrasound catheter and control system for remote tissue ablation for the treatment of hypertension by Renal Denervation (RDN). The company has tested the TIVUSTM system in extensive bench and animal studies and recently initiated a pilot human clinical trial. The TIVUSTM system has been designed to enable quick, controlled RDN without damaging the arterial endothelium. Dr. Krishna Rocha-Singh, an advisor to the company and a leader in the rapidly growing field of RDN, from the Prairie Heart Institute at the St. John's Hospital in Springfield, IL, commented that, "The TIVUSTM system has great potential to improve the process and outcomes of RDN procedures. In addition the TIVUSTM system may expand the population of patients eligible for RDN therapy by obviating current anatomic and physiologic restrictions and contra-indications."
Mr. Benny Dilmoney, Cardiosonic CEO commented that, "We are pleased to complete this financing with our new strategic partner and will rapidly move forward with our extensive clinical trial and next generation product development plans. We anticipate rapid enrollment in multiple clinical trial protocols during the next 18 months and in parallel expect to achieve important regulatory and product development milestones. We expect to become a serious competitor in the large and growing RDN International markets and be poised to execute our USA IDE trial in 2014. The addition of a new strategic investor combined with the continuing commitment of our present investors is a testament to the significant progress we have made in the development and investigation of our TIVUSTM system."
About Cardiosonic
Cardiosonic, Inc. is a privately held company established in late 2009 by Shmuel Almagor to develop and commercialize breakthrough ultrasound technology invented by Ariel Sverdlik, at the time a doctorate student at Tel Aviv University and now the Company Chief Technology Officer. The company employs 17 highly skilled professionals and is located in Ramat HaChayal, a high tech center in Tel Aviv, Israel.

HIV/AIDS and Pregnancy
HIV/AIDS and Pregnancy
What is HIV/AIDS?
HIV is a virus that can cause problems with the body's immune system. A weak immune system lowers the body's ability to fight infections and certain cancers over time. When cells of the immune system have been weakened or destroyed by HIV, it causes AIDS. Not everyone who has HIV develops AIDS. AIDS is when the HIV infection is in its most advanced stages.
Some people may get a flu-like illness within a month or two after infection with HIV. Many people don't have any symptoms when they are first infected. But HIV/AIDS is a serious infection that needs medical attention. It can turn into a severe illness over time and cause life-threatening problems and early death.
The risk to your baby
If you have HIV, you can pass it to your baby during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and breastfeeding. Nearly all children under the age of 13 with HIV were infected by their mother. This happens in the womb, or as they passed through the birth canal during labor. The virus can also be passed through breastmilk.
A pregnant woman with HIV has a 1 in 4 chance that her baby will get the virus. But with early diagnosis and treatment with medicine, you can reduce this risk to 1 to 2 in 100.
Getting tested for HIV during pregnancy
All pregnant women should get tested for HIV. Get the tests as early as possible in pregnancy, every time you are pregnant. Blood tests are the most common way to diagnose HIV. Other tests can check for HIV in urine and saliva. When a test is positive, you'll have more tests to check the results of the first test. When a test is negative, but it's likely you were exposed to HIV, you'll need follow-up testing in about 6 months.
Special care during pregnancy and childbirth
If you have HIV, you'll need extra health care during pregnancy. This will include counseling, testing, and treatment. You'll need to work with a healthcare provider who's trained in high-risk pregnancy, infectious disease, or HIV.
You'll need to take antiretroviral medicines during pregnancy and labor. And you'll need regular blood tests to check the amount of HIV in your body.
Vaginal birth can expose a baby to the HIV virus. Talk with your healthcare provider about a cesarean (c-section) birth. A c-section helps reduce the risk of spreading the virus to your baby.
Special care for your baby after birth
Babies of mothers with HIV are watched closely. Your baby will be given anti-HIV medicines after birth. Your baby will have regular exams and blood tests. In most cases, a diagnosis of HIV infection can be made by the time a baby is 3 months old.
Because HIV can be passed on through breastmilk, you shouldn't breastfeed your baby. Talk with your healthcare provider about formula feeding.
Living with HIV/AIDS
There is no cure for HIV/AIDS. But new medicines can help people infected with the virus to lead healthier lives. It's important to work with a specialist who treats HIV/AIDS, and to follow your treatment plan carefully.
When to call your healthcare provider
Call your healthcare provider if you:
Are pregnant
Think you have had contact with HIV
Have HIV/AIDS and have an infection or new symptoms
Protect your baby
To help lower the risk to your baby:
Get tested during pregnancy. All pregnant women should have an HIV test.
Get treated during pregnancy. Work with a specialist who can treat HIV during pregnancy. Take your medicine exactly as instructed.
Don't have a vaginal delivery. Talk with your healthcare provider about a c-section.
Don't breastfeed. Talk with your healthcare provider about formula feeding.

Algeria's Defense Ministry announced the killing of three militants and the wounding of two others who were trying to cross its southeastern desert border near Niger and Libya.
The statement Monday did not say what group the militants belonged to, just that they were riding in a four-wheel drive vehicle mounted with a heavy machine. Five AK-47 assault rifles were also said seized.
Algeria's south also borders Mali, where al-Qaida allied groups have set up a mini-state that is now being attacked by French jet planes.
Algeria has beefed up security along the remote desert wastes to prevent militant violence from spilling into its territory.
The statement said the operation showed the army would "guarantee border security against all attacks on national territorial integrity."

Top of the blog 2012
Twenty-twelve: not just a number, not just a 'year of sport'. It's been another bumper crop of exciting stuff in the world of science, medical history, public engagement and all the stuff in and around our wonderful Wellcome world.
These were the most popular blog posts published this year:
Ben Ambridge's entry to the 2012 Wellcome Trust Science Writing Prize proved a hit with animal lovers across the interwebs, garnering plenty of discussion and pingbacks from the likes of Hacking News. The WordPress blog network also picked it as one of their highlights of the month.
How does the brain interpret information about social hierarchy? Our Senior Media Officer, Dr Jen Middleton picked out this gem from her daily clutch of science papers, telling us a bit about her adventurous early school life in the process.
Scientist does research in zoo, includes public engagement as part of it, writes peer-reviewed paper evaluating the public engagement, then blogs about it. Perfect.
"Wall of vaginas". That is all.
When games and science combine, it's often great. Our games consultant Tomas Rawlings is also a developer. His research into the medical practices used in the field during the Great War not only improved the historical accuracy of one of his games, but made for a fascinating blog post. This was also one of the WordPress team's highlights for the month.
Scientist Katherine Lougheed tried journalism for a few weeks. It's harder than it looks. This post was understandably popular with science journalists everywhere, especially those at Nature News…
Lots of people are trying to find better ways to share open research data. We asked those at Figshare to explain what their approach is.
The Malaria Atlas Project combines maps and data to find new insights into malaria control measures. They're now sharing everything through their open web portal.
May was Action on Stroke Month, so we dedicated the whole month to an in-depth look at what stroke is and how scientists, doctors and others are working to treat and prevent it. Long-form features, infographics, videos and interviews. Read all about it.
Meet television's Dr Kevin Fong. You might remember him hanging around NASA or plunging himself into icy waters in the name of science documentary. He's also one of our first Public Engagement Fellows. We did the meta thing and got our other Fellow, Dr Richard Barnett, to interview him about his unusual career and how two doctors ended up doing very different things. We included some audio so you can also hear their lovely voices!
And finally, some of our personal favourites, you may have missed:
- Interview with Paralympic gold medalist Ellie Simmonds
- Piano plague in D minor – with a fabulous aural tour of historical pianos
- Metacognition – I know (or don't know) that I know
- A burst from the blue – is bulimia nervosa really a modern disease?
- Neglected tropical diseases – a new handle on old problems
- Plague (and giant gerbils) in Kazakhstan
Happy holidays to all. See you in 2013!

|The scalloped rims are trimmed in gold. Marked Aynsley Lynton 7249 on the underside.
|Bread and butter plate (1 available)
The name "Aynsley" has been connected with English bone china tableware, giftware and commemorative items since it was founded in 1775 by John Aynsley dans le Staffordshire. The company is one of the last remaining manufacturers of bone china in Stoke-on-Trent, the historic centre for the production of English bone china.
Over the last 200 plus years Aynsley grew into a well-respected china company that was commissioned by royalty and that exports china to over 70 countries. Although modernisation changed many working practices in Stoke-on-Trent, Aynsley kept the traditional method of throwing and painting china by hand.
Aynsley China Ltd is now owned by the Beleek Pottery group.

The greatest sporting event on the planet, the 2014 FIFA World Cup, begins Thursday in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with the host country and favorite, Brazil, taking on a competitive Croatian team. I believe this World Cup will leave many of the traditional powers in the sport vying for the world's most coveted trophy.
There will be a number of challenges for the competing teams, FIFA and the local organizing committee. This World Cup resembles the '94 Cup in the United States because the geographical distances between the Brazilian venues are great and the weather conditions (heat and humidity) will be challenging. The logistics and venue readiness are also of concern. It will require a perfectly coordinated effort by the Brazilians and FIFA to pull off the event in the fashion expected of a host country.
But the 2014 World Cup has the potential to become one of the greatest of all time. I believe we will see high-scoring games. There are an incredible group of attacking players in this tournament: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Luis Suarez (Uruguay), Diego Costa (Spain), Edin Dzeko (Bosnia-Herzegovina), Wayne Rooney (England), Neymar (Brazil) and Robin Van Persie (Holland). We will also see the game's best midfielders: Xavi and Iniesta (Spain), Luka Modric (Croatia) and Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast), among others. Unfortunately, the tournament has lost two great attacking players due to injury, Franck Ribery (France) and Marco Reus (Germany), which could greatly impact their countries.
We should see the traditional powers from Europe (Germany, Spain, France and Italy) and South America (Brazil and Argentina) advance out of group play. Additionally, the African countries (Ivory Coast and Cameroon) will show well. This spells bad news for the CONCACAF, Asia and Oceania countries. If there is a long shot in this tournament, it will come from one of the South American countries (Colombia or Uruguay) and possibly Belgium.
Being a fan of the World Cup is a lot easier and a lot more fun than coaching in one. But having said that, I would do it all over again!
Now allow me to make my predictions:
I see Brazil winning Group A. The key game will be Cameroon-Mexico, with Cameroon surprisingly winning and ultimately advancing to the round of 16. In Group B, the opening matchup of Spain vs. Netherlands will set the tone. I see Spain prevailing, with Chile finishing second in group play. For me, Group C is predictable: Colombia and the Ivory Coast should advance. Group D is a tough one, and the opening game between England and Italy is the key match; I see Uruguay and Italy advancing. Groups E and F are predictable as well: I see Ecuador, France, Argentina and Bosnia-Herzegovina advancing into the round of 16.
Group G is among the most difficult to predict. Clearly, Germany should prevail. However, the opening games, Germany vs. Portugal and the U.S. vs. Ghana, are tough calls, and the winners should advance. That said, I see this group being decided on the last day of play (June 26).
I do see some advantages for the U.S. They start the competition late (June 16), allowing time to get acclimated to Brazil and get a feel for the competition, officiating, field, climatic conditions and the pace of games. They play arguably the weakest team (Ghana) first and the most difficult team (Germany) last. Portugal's strength is in question because of fitness issues with Ronaldo and Pepe. Meanwhile, the U.S. enters the tournament with improving play in the defensive end, and the team is injury-free and very fit.
For the U.S. to advance to the round of 16 it will need outstanding play from Tim Howard in goal, must score off of set pieces, play in low-scoring games and, in all honesty, must beat Ghana. I see the U.S. and Portugal fighting for the second position in the group, with Germany having already qualified to advance before it faces the U.S. In the end, I see the U.S. advancing with a total of five points (three points with a win over Ghana, plus two points for draws against Portugal and Germany), slightly edging out Portugal. Lastly, Belgium will win Group H, and I see Russia finishing second ahead of South Korea.
The round of 16 will be composed of teams from Europe (seven), South America (six), Africa (two) and CONCACAF (one), with Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal and England going home early.
The final standings in group play will determine the matchups right through to the finals on July 13. We could see Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Spain advancing to the semifinals, which would be an incredible climax to what could be the best World Cup of all time. In the end, I believe Brazil will prevail. Enjoy the World Cup!

"Enjoy your life. We only go around once."
Here is what Andy Dzurinko '65 (political science) wishes for you every day: That you will remain positive and active; that you will always do your best and share your best with those you love and those you meet; that you will give of yourself to make this world a better place. And that, he says, is the secret to true happiness and success.
For years, Dzurinko kept a journal of his varied life experiences, and in 2002 he compiled those lessons and reflections into a motivational book, The Power of Optimism, which he aimed at both sales professionals and anyone who wants to grow personally or professionally. The book launched him on a speaking career, mainly in insurance industry circles. In 2011 he followed up with another inspirational book, LOL: Laugh Out Loud, Feel Good and Live Longer, which he co-wrote with the late James Harris, M.D.
How did Dzurinko come to have such a positive attitude toward life? It's really quite simple, he says. He grew up in a place where optimism was the way of life. "People didn't have much. They were mostly immigrants who worked in Pittsburgh's steel mills, but everyone was positive," he says. His involvement in scouting and sports contributed to his outlook as well. It was sports that brought him to Bucknell, where he majored in political science and played football under Coach Bob Odell and helped the Bison win the 1964 Lambert Cup.
After a career coaching high school and then college football, Dzurinko entered the insurance business, and he is currently an independent salesman. He re-engaged with sports when he moved to Tempe, Ariz., in 1989, and became executive director of the Arizona Governor's Council on Health and head of the nonprofit Frank Kush Youth Foundation, which promotes physical fitness and wellness for children. "I had to walk the talk," he explains.
At age 56, Dzurinko ran his first marathon. A decade later, he began long-distance hiking and mountain climbing. He has since hiked the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim, climbed Yosemite's Half Dome as well as Mt. Whitney (the highest peak in the contiguous U.S.), and reached the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. He has a four-day hike to Machu Picchu planned for this summer and will be climbing Mt. Blanc in 2014.
"Enjoy your life," Dzurinko says. "We only go around once."

About JoAnna H
Lives in Las Vegas, Nevada
Since Sep 2009
I am a full-time freelance writer based in Las Vegas. When I'm not sleeping in hotels, eating out at restaurants and enjoying new attractions, you can often find me writing about them. Beyond Las Vegas, I travel and write frequently about destinations throughout the Southwest United States, especially those in Arizona, Southern California and Utah. I'm an outdoorsy person and enjoy hiking, camping and backpacking in the United States' national parks.
Mixing a bit of the Las Vegas Strip with the downtown area, visitors can enjoy a mix of activities over a long weekend in this desert southwest city.

Game & Entertainment Centres
Nothing says Las Vegas extravagance like walking through the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian. They don't construct themed resorts like this anymore, and walking through this part of the property really does feel like wandering the pathways of Venice. Even if you don't plan to do any shopping, watch the gondolas float by, take some photos and enjoy the people watching.
The world's highest observation offers a view of Las Vegas that can't be found anywhere else. A ride on the High Roller takes 30 minutes to make a full rotation. Enjoy the 360-degree view, which takes in both the Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding desert scenery. A televised commentary provides information about the construction of the observation wheel as it reaches its peak height of 550 feet.
No trip to Las Vegas would be complete without a stop at the Bellagio Fountains. The famous fountains dance to a mixed array of music starting in the early afternoon and running until late at night. During the winter months, a variety of holiday songs are shuffled into the mix of Broadway tunes, rock-n-roll hits and pop favorites.
This impressive indoor conservatory requires a full-time staff of more than 100 people to design, construct and maintain the themed, walk-through gardens. It goes through five iterations each year – for spring, summer, fall, winter and Chinese New Year. Live music is performed daily in the gardens.
This three-story bar is nestled inside one of the largest chandeliers in the world. Each level of this massive structure has a different theme: The bottom floor is upbeat with a DJ, the second floor is known for its specialty craft cocktails and the very top level is particularly intimate. Regardless of whether you stop for one drink or three, the chandelier is definitely worth seeing.
This locals' favorite in downtown Las Vegas is located in Emergency Arts, where many entrepreneurs and creative connoisseurs have offices. The Beat is casual and laid back, and folks hunker down here for hours at a time, catching up over coffee or sandwiches. It's a great place to start a day in downtown Las Vegas.
Downtown Las Vegas has flourished in recent years, and the Downtown Container Park is one of the best things to come out of the development. Made out of shipping containers, this self-contained, family-friendly area has several locally owned retail shops and dining facilities. There is also an outdoor stage where occasional concerts and events are held, and in the middle of the Container Park is a large play area made of repurposed shipping containers. Overall, it is a fun, relaxing place to let the hours pass by.
The famous Fremont Street Experience has attracted visitors to downtown Las Vegas for many years, but the newly unveiled zip line that runs down the spine of the pedestrian zone provides a new way to experience a classic favorite. Ride the zip line one of two ways – either sitting 77 feet high above the street riding 850 feet down the Fremont Street Experience or laying down Superman style 114 high for a trip that rides 1,700 feet.
Though it is located in the throes of action in downtown Las Vegas, Park on Fremont is a welcome retreat away from all the chaos. The highlight of this restaurant is an outdoor dining area that looks like a comfortable backyard patio complete with a hidden seesaw and a hopscotch board made of mosaic tiles. It's a place where locals gather to share a small plate after a long day at work or a drink before heading out for the evening.
If shopping is high on a visitor's list of things to do in Las Vegas, then this outdoor mall is an absolute must. There are more than 150 shops ranging from high-end retailers to well-known name brand stores with prices slashed to just a fraction of the usual cost. It's not uncommon to see shoppers loaded down with bags packed with goodies they can't wait to take home with them.
Fly like a bird – in a high-speed wind tunnel – at Vegas Indoor Skydiving. For every Las Vegas visit there is a good Las Vegas story, and this one adds an adrenaline-pumping adventure without the fear that often accompanies jumping out of an airplane. Highly trained staff help ease fears with lots of guidance prior to three turns to fly in this controlled environment with wind speeds up to 120 miles per hour.
This French bistro is not only popular for its food but also its enviable location across the street from the Bellagio Fountains. It is one of the few restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip with street-side dining on Las Vegas Boulevard and is always busy as people enjoy their steak frites while people watching on one of the busiest roads in America.
Held in a permanent circus tent in front of Caesars Palace, Absinthe is part burlesque, part acrobatic performance and completely memorable. Told through the fog of an absinthe stupor, it mixes raunchy comedic pieces with Cirque du Soleil-like feats of balance and flexibility. The intimate nature of the performance space combined with the over-the-top vulgarity at times mean that it's not appropriate for everyone, but those with an open mind will enjoy it.

For those who never read the "About" pages, the title of my blog comes from the Keat's poem, "Fancy", not to be confused with the Bobbie Gentry song from the 60s. The context of the line is
- Oh, sweet Fancy! let her loose;
- Every thing is spoilt by use:
- Where's the cheek that doth not fade,
- Too much gaz'd at? Where's the maid
- Whose lip mature is ever new?
- Where's the eye, however blue,
- Doth not weary? Where's the face
- One would meet in every place?
- Where's the voice, however soft,
- One would hear so very oft?
- The full text of the poem is easy to find.
John Keats 1795-1821

In honor of the passing of Gidget the Taco Bell Chihuahua yesterday, we've compiled a tribute to the commercial achievements of our favorite animal thespians, from Morris the Cat's unsuccessful presidential bid to the duck that's torturing Ben Affleck.
Though Gidget's Taco Bell commercials only ran from 1997 to 2000, her work inspired numerous catch-phrases that raised the nation's spirits during Monica-gate. Gidget went on to give an unforgettable performance in Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde as Bruiser's mom, but this Viva Gorditas commercial best captures the mix of strength and pathos that she brought to every role:
In this groundbreaking 1960s commercial Mr. Ed, one of the earliest spokesanimals, informs his owner that his horseback riding days are over. Mr. Ed has already gone for a test drive in a Studebaker, and from now on he'll be doing the driving.
Obviously, Mr. Ed's message didn't reach these Clydesdales. A decade later they're still hauling around shipments of crappy beer at Ed McMahon's request.
But some commercial critters had it better than others. 9 Lives spokescat Morris rose to fame in the '70s and even starred in the 1973 film Shamus opposite Burt Reynolds. In the '80s, he ran for president against fellow actor Ronald Reagan, but lost when Americans got a look at his cabinet proposals in the commercial below.
Spuds MacKenzie's career as the "ultimate party animal" was marred by the discovery that he was actually played by a female dog named Honey Tree Evil Eye. But nothing can diminish his performance in the 1988 Olympics. Despite his lack of opposable thumbs, Spuds took home the gold in pole vaulting as the "Spudettes" cheered him on.
The Aflac Duck is smart enough to compare various insurance policies, but his biggest achievement is being the bane of Ben Affleck's existence. Ben has said that after these commercials aired people started walking up to him and screaming "Aflac" all the time.
Duke from the Bush's Baked Beans commercials seems pretty intelligent too, as he has taught himself to talk. But if he's so smart why does he live with an adult man who uses a baked bean bedspread?
Technically David Duchovny doesn't qualify for this list, but he deserves an honorable mention for his voiceover work in the Pedigree commercials. Even though for years, talking about dog food was the only post-X-Files work he could find, he demonstrated an utter lack of shame. We'd be happy to rub your belly, Mulder.
Toby may not be that well known yet, but every time we see the mom in this Stanley Steemer commercial roll her eyes and ignore her child, we can't help but applaud Toby's new trick.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Not even a one-week layoff could cool off the hot Bulldogs. Yale extended its winning streak to seven with a doubleheader sweep of Marist in the home openers at Dewitt Family Field. Katie Edwards was 2-for-3 with three RBI as the Bulldogs won the first game 6-2, and Ashley Sloan had four hits and two runs scored and Allie Canulli hit her first career home run in a 7-1 victory in the second game.
"I think the break was good for us," said Barbara Reinalda, the head coach of the Bulldogs, who had two doubleheaders cancelled this week and hadn't played since finishing up at the Rebel Games in Florida last Sunday. "It allowed us to get some rest."
Yale's bats certainly weren't rusty. The Bulldogs banged out 19 hits in the two games, and nine different players had at least one hit on the day. Yale (12-2) is batting .338 after 14 games.
"What pleases me the most is it is not always the same kids who are getting the hits," Reinalda said. "Everybody is contributing. If one player is in a slump, somebody else comes through."
In the first game, Jessica Green's two-run home run in the first inning gave Marist (3-16) the early lead.
The Bulldogs, though, answered with two runs in the bottom of the inning. Sloan and Christina Guerland executed a double steal to score the first run, and Edwards drove home the second with a two-out single to center.
Megan Rigos, the preseason MAAC Pitcher of the Year, retired Yale in order in the second and third innings, but the Bulldogs broke through in the fourth. Megan Enyeart led off with a single and scored on Kyli Hanson's double to right field.
Yale put the game away with three runs in the fifth. Courtney Blachford singled to start the rally and moved to second on a ground out. Aracelis Torres was intentionally walked and Enyeart singled to load the bases. Blachford then scored on a wild pitch, and Edwards drove home the final two runs with a double to centerfield fence.
Rebecca Wojciak, last week's Ivy League Pitcher of the Week, tossed a complete game for the Bulldogs. She allowed five hits, struck out five and improved to 5-0 on the season with the victory.
In the second game, Sloan fell only a home run shy of hitting for the cycle. Yale led 1-0 after three innings, but scored twice in the fourth. With two out, Blachford drew a walk. Sloan followed with a triple down the right field line and then scored when Guerland reached on an error.
The Bulldogs added three more runs in the fifth. Holly Gutterud led off a with a pinch-hit double and scored on Hanson's RBI single to center. Canulli then belted her first career home run, a long blast that deflected off the scoreboard in right-centerfield.
The Bulldogs took advantage of two Marist errors to score their final run in the sixth.
Deanna DiBernardi went the first five innings for the Bulldogs, allowing five hits and one run, to her earn second victory of the season. KR Ling pitched two scoreless innings of relief.
Yale is back in action on Wednesday, hosting a doubleheader against Fairfield beginning at 2:30 p.m.
