Coach Owen Halleen, who spurred Bethel's football team on to
Pioneer Conference championship, has resigned his position as head
football coach. He will be devoting his time to his graduate studies
at the University of Minnesota.
Cast members for the Drama Department's production, FAMILY
PORTRAIT rehearse for their opening performance. The play will be

Poet Allen Tate
To Speak Here
At Convocation
Minnesota's most distinguished
man of letters, Allen Tate of the
University of Minnesota, will speak
here tomorrow, April 1, at 10:00
in the Fieldhouse. The event is
being sponsored by the Coeval
and the Convocation Committee.
Poet, author, lecturer Tate was
named to the American Academy
of Arts and Letters and will be
inducted this May along with sev-eral
other artists.
In an article in the Minneapolis
Tribune Tate said of himself, "I
am out of tune with the times.
I always have been. I find most
of the leading ideas of our time
disagreeable—the secularization of
religion, the decline of local auto-nomy,
the decay of the family as
man's social unit."
His most famous poem is "Ode
to the Confederate Dead". A book
of his poems, Poems of Tate, is
on sale in the bookstore.

Halleen came to Bethel from
a teaching position in Elsinore,
California, after completing his
B.S. in physical education at
Wheaton College in 1956. He
received his M.Ed. from the Uni-versity
of Illinois in 1957.
__ In resigning, Coach Halleen ex-pressed
his appreciation to the
student body and faculty for their
encouragement in building Bethel's
football team to its present posi-tion
and requests the same loyal-ty
for the new coach, especially
during the difficult transition per-iod.

Owen Halleen Resigns
As Head Football Coach
Owen Halleen, Head Football Coach at Bethel College since the
fall of 1960, has resigned to give concentrated attention to his doctoral
program at the University of Minnesota.
He will return to Bethel as a full time faculty member (he has
officially been on leave from teaching duties for the last two years)
through the accepttance of a teaching and counseling position in the
Student Affairs Office next fall. These steps are part of Halleen's overall
plans to leave the field of physical education and enter psychology and
Halleen's action was precipitated by the academic burden of his
graduate program and an unresolvable scheduling conflict between
necessary classes and football practices and game times.
The popular coach leaves an equally impressive record both on and
oif the gridiron in building the Royals to a football power. His teams
accumulated a record of twenty-seven wins and fourteen losses over
the five year period, with twenty-one of the wins coming in the last
twenty-five games.
Yet, Halleen is the first to recognize the catalytic nature of his
coaching: "Our win-loss record is only a means to the end of building
solid Christian gentlemen."
He reminisced to the fail of 1962 as "the year we built so many
things — spirit, self-respect, and an enthusiasm for winning. The 1962
club won without the ability and tradition of winning."
Halleen's teams quickly came to dominate the newly formed Pioneer
Conference, winning the championship each of the first two years.
The Royals' national image became more visible with numerous indi-vidual
awards, Ray Sheppard received the Williamson Poll's Little All
American Honorable Mention Award at tackle the fall of 1961.
Jim Nelson followed with an Honorable Mention and then a first
team berth at fullback the following season. Duane Gibson of last
season's club was named to a First Team end spot in the National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District 13 ratings.
He attributes much of his teams' success to the dedication and
hard work of his assistant coaches: Philip Carlson, Dave Cox, Bob
Smith, Stu Luckman, Jim Nelson, Ray Sheppard, and Paul Evan. Many
of these were former players who stayed on after their career.

Fahs Views Implications
Of Recent Love Seminars
by Dr. Ivan Fahs
Dr. Fahs, Associate Professor of Sociology at Bethel College,
was one of the faculty leaders in the recent Sex, Love and Marriage
discussions held Monday evenings during March.
Possibly the most heartening thing about the recent semi-nar
series, "Sex, Love and Marriage," is the fact that it was
student-initiated. The planning committee started early, at-tempted
some plans which eventually did not materialize, co-ordinated
items with the CLARION; coordinated still more
with the Book Store, with the print shop, housemothers, pro-fessors
and other relevant campus personnel. Ron Nelson and
Dick Schultz, who did the lion's share of the work, deserve
our thanks.
Student life at Bethel is latently concerned with romance
and its implications. Given Bethel's hesitancy to become in-volved
in the morass of legalism (we do not require boys and
girls to be chaperoned while they play ping-pong), students of
a romantic turn are left with a fair amount of personal freedom.
Are Bethel students responsible in using this freedom?
When any community has a minimum of legality, values
are ordinarily dependent on the quality of people who live
together. Clearly, at Bethel each community member has
a Christ-given quality of goodness not his own. At least the
Admissions Committee is supposed to give entrance only
to those who know Christ in a personal way.
The intriguing possibility of one thousand plus people
living together as Christ would have them to live is the ideal
of the Bethel community — intriguing, if utopian. The potential
to be a Christian community is still here.
On the side of realism, however, Bethel community mem-bers
are healthy, red-blooded humans whose glands are every
bit as urgent as those in any homo sapiens. As much as we
would like to believe that Friday night dates are utilized dis-cussing
creative ways of implementing Christ's Great Com-mission
or what C. Wright Mill's White Collar means for the
Christian, we must reckon with courtship as a time when young
men and women are exploring each other as prospective mar-riage
partners — who's kidding whom?
In such a crucial relationship there are imponderables,
mysteries, frustrations; there is personal fulfillment, satis-faction,
and praise to God. The Bethel student has freedom
to commit sin on the one hand and the freedom to find a
love relationship which is righteous and fine on the other.
If the seminars sensitized us to these realities and if they
urged Bethel students to draw on Christ's strength, then they
have helped us find a more excellent way.
Contemporary Seminary Instruction
Focuses on Expanding World Needs
by J. David Patterson
The desert, burning, scorched by
the blistering rays of the sun
couldn't be drier than Monday's
student senate meeting.
In keeping with the metaphor,
a few drops of moisture were seen
in the form of a motion by Bill
Madsen calling for a committee
to regulate the scheduling of cam-pus
events, a report on the library
Dear Editor:
Recently there has been some
discussion among students as to
the value of the "counseling ser-vices"
here at Bethel. Here, for
what it may be worth, is my own
opinion: We need a clearly-defined
counseling center, whose rights and
limitations are established a n d
whose personnel are individuals
demonstrably qualified to deal with
personal problems in the context
of adequate time and proper set-ting.
I will not deny that the present
"catch-as-catch-can" counseling has
had some real value in certain
given instances. Yet much i m -
provement is desperately called
for. Yes, we see much dedicated
and warm-hearted effort on the
part of present personnel in their
dealings with students' problems.
Yet there is a lack, a lack felt
among students very widely, of
any real place to take on e's
situation and a comment by Dr.
Dalton just before adjournment.
Madsen's motion allows for the
instituting of a joint student-facul-ty
committee consisting of repre-sentatives
from the drama, music,
and athletic departments, the cam-pus
pastor, the Senate's campus co-ordinator
and an administration,
representative who shall chair the
committee. According to the
troubles. When campus aid is
sought, it is often done so in a
spirit of caution—due to scholastic
administrational cons iderations,
religious implications present in
certain problems, etc. And this
"puts the squelch" on the coun-seling
done in many instances.
I cannot, for the sake of persons
involved, illustrate this lack in
terms of specific instances where
inadequate or superficial counsel
has merely aggravated a problem,
driven a student into that heinous
sin of hypocrisy, or had no effect
whatever. I am thus wide open to
charges of shooting off my mouth;
and this is OK. Perhaps the value
of this lir note is not so much
that it speaks the final truth ex
cathedra, but rather that it points
up an issue which should be given
its due attention. What do other
Bethelites think about this?
Edward M. Holden
by Dr. Gordon Johnson
The Dean of Bethel Seminary
concludes a series of three ar-ticles
in preparation for the Col-lege
Conference on the Ministry,
April 8-9.
Our world is an exploding world.
That is true in many areas of life.
We have seen exploding expansion
in most areas of knowledge and
production that is utterly fantastic
within the lifetime of each of us.
In the areas of industrial produc-tion,
scientific discovery and philo-sophical
ideas, advances have been
so phenomenal as to leave u s
breathless. The world is also ex-ploding
in the tensions of inter-national
strife and in domestic
misunderstanding, distrust a n d
violence. Another obvious area of
explosion is in the multiplying
growth of population, while still
a further one is in the increasing
prevalence of personality malad-justment.
It is in this kind of world that
seminary training is crucial. It is
here that we study the "Word of
God" in its broadest sense. And
that is what this exploding world
needs. God has spoken and desires
to continue to speak. He has acted
and desires to continue to act. His
speaking and His acting must be
through the meditation of men who
understand His Word and H i s
world. That is the task of the
Seminary training is desperately
relevant because it majors in pre-paring
better men rather than dis-seminating
better methods. T h e
significant accomplishments in his-tory
have always been dependent
on the work of capable persons.
Whenever God has acted in the
history of mankind for man's bene-fit,
He has done so through well
prepared and dedicated men. In
motion the committee will be re-sponsible
for the scheduling of all
campus events and will draw up
whatever policies for this schedul-ing
that it deems necessary. The
committee will also act as an
arbitrator in all conflicts in sched-uling
including both room reserva-tion
and calendar dates. After a
small amount of clarification the
motion was passed.
David Johnson presented his re-port
concerning problems in the
library. Johnson pointed out that
there were three areas in which
the problems existed: loud talking,
library being understaffed a n d
theft of books. Dr. Fagerstrom was
consulted in the matter and ex-plained
that the staff is willing
to use high school discipline mea-sures
if necessary but would choose
to allow the students to handle this
problem, hopefully by being quiter.
Fagerstrom went on to say that
new staff members were being
added and the theft problem was
not that severe. Johnson recom-mended
that the senate not take
any action.
Dr. Dalton asked if the off the
record portion of the meeting
couldn't be put in the minutes
since some of the most significant
discussion comes at this time. This
is worth noting, senators.
the light of this the Seminary has
prepared its curriculum, chooses
its faculty and conducts its pro-gram.
The curriculum is built on the
basis of two-thirds core or required
courses and one-third advanced
level courses. The core courses are
well-balanced among three major
divisions of Seminary study:
Sources or biblical studies, Inter-pretation
or theological and his-torical
studies, and Application or
the practical fields. That balance
helps students face the vital ques-tions
related to the Bible, "What
did it mean when it was given?"
and "What does it mean for us
today?" The gap between those
two questions must be bridged be-fore
we can have a relevant Word
from God. Seminary studies aid
men to bridge that significant gap.
Advance studies are then taken
with the interests of the student
in mind. A man may major in one
of six deparments: the Biblical,
Old Testament, New Testament,
Historical - Theological, Religious
Education or Preaching. Within
the Historical-Theological a man
may place strong emphasis o n
course work in Missions. Each man

President Johnson, his voice
choked with anger and disgust,

to banish the Ku Klux Klan—"a

Concern Over Red Influence
T h e Johnson administration,
deeply engaged in a struggle with
the Ku Klux Klan and other segre-gationist
forces, is at the same
is different, and each one has
special interests and abilities. In
order for a man to be best pre-pared
to be "the man of God"
communicating a relevant Word
from God in our exploding world,
his God-given interests and abili-ties
must be developed to the
fullest extent. The Seminary cur-riculum
provides for that.
But that is not all. The pedago-gical
methods that are emerging
in Seminary training, as well as
the facilities on the new campus,
are such as to develop the self-reliant
student. The individual re-search
and study possibilities as
well as the community life with
every possibility of stimulating in-teraction
and dialogue will aid a
man to become a significant wit-ness
for Jesus Christ in a world
that desperately needs to hear the
Good News. That self-reliance, in
the good sense of dependence up-on
the Lord for the proper use of
God-given ability, is further en-hanced
by a well planned and
supervised field education pro-gram.

sense than any other field of study.

CLARION do not

Following is a partial text of the convocation
address delivered by Lynn Kastner, director of
the Minnesota branch of the American Civil Liber-ties
Union on Friday, March 19.
Much of the social ferment, litigation and contro-versy
throughout our hisory and especially today
centers around the question—whose constitutional
rights are these? Should an atheist have freedom
from belief? Does the dope peddler or a murderer
have the right to suppress an illegal confession? Does
a Communist or an anarchist or a Nazi have the
right to express his views publicly? These questions
cause the most sincere to shrink from defending
the principles in our Bill of Rights and cause many
others who are sincere to attack these very principles
in the Bill of Rights.
In the areas of our country where segregation
and discrimination of minority groups and persons
are in the open and entrenched in the law, citizens
and officials recoil from the exercise of these basic
rights of minority groups.
1 he Civil Rights Revolution not only confronts
white Americans with their attitudes but also
tests and brings into focus our constitutional free-doms.
Many people today express impatience with
the means and methods of protest and many more
view this revolution solely through the events of
recent months and years. These people may not re-member
the fact that slavery was a legal institution
in this country for 72 years after the ratification
of the Bill of Rights.
During these years our law and courts considered
the Negro a chattel and enforced against him the
property rights of his masters. Our American heritage
of public protest is a fitting background from which
to evaluate the recent events. The Declaration of
Independence reminds us that this nation came into
being as an active protest against discriminatory
treatment of the colonies by the British government.
It is not surprising, then, that we find through-out
our turbulent history numerous examples of
public and even violent protest either against govern-mental
action or to achieve the creation of new
public policy. The formation of a government of the
United States followed such public protest as the
Boston Tea Party and those of earlier movements in
Virginia and the Carolinas.
As we all know, the 1954 decision in the school
segregation cases, Brown vs, Board of Education in
1954, marked the beginning of the protests currently
developing. The many other cases, striking out of
our institutions of society the legal foundations of
segregation and discrimination and the building
of a sound legal foundation of equal opportunity
and justice in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and,
hopefully, in the voting act of 1965 and executive
action to the same end has insured that the march
of progress toward equal opportunity will not stop
again until it is fully realized by all of our citizens.
With this history the courts have had a wealth
of experience and opportunity to define the protected
and proscribed limits of public protest within the
freedom of expression protected by the First Amend-ment.
— However, it is also important to realize
that the right to public assembly may be regulated
to protect substantial rights and not just to avoid in-convenience.
So police or other officials may not
prohibit assembly just to avoid public unrest or
even violent opposition.
We must remember that not. all bystanders are
innocent and many who gather at the site of civil
rights assembly or protest gather for the purpose
of opposition. The police and officials then have
an affirmative duty to protect those engaged in
lawful protest.
In such demonstrations and other forms of public
protest, the question of responsibility becomes
quite clear. That they are in the pursuit of freedom
there is little debate. The bounds of protected
activity are the limits within which participants
can act responsibly. The fact that such demonstra-tions
have most often occurred in areas where
freedom is denied explains many of the cases
dealing with the failure of the public and police
officials to meet their responsibilities in a free

Students Meet Alumni
For Vocational Talks
The second annual Alumni-Stu-dent
Vocational Counseling Ses-sions
will be held next week. On
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday
evenings Bethel graduates from a
number of professional fields will
return to the campus to counsel
with interested students.
Featured Monday night at 6:15
in the President's Dining Room
will be alumni from the fields of
medicine, nursing, medical tech-nology,
and law. Tuesday, social
work, business, and library science
will be represented. Thursday is
reserved f o r elementary a n d
secondary education.
The sessions, arranged by the
Alumni Association, are open to
all. Last year the program was
directed toward upperclassmen and
others who had already made de-finite
occupational decisions. These
Reasonable Student Rates
discussions are directed toward
two types of students: those who
have chosen a major and are seek-ing
information concerning oppor-tunities,
advantages, disadvantages,
qualifications, educational require-ments,
etc., and those seeking gen-eral
knowledge about a particular
field as a career possibility.
The program was enthusiastical-ly
received after its inception last
year. Students indicated their ap-preciation
for an opportunity to
personally discuss vocational goals
with someone in their chosen
profession. The doctors who at-tended

is not our greatest threat. These
rights cannot be voted upon; al-though
they can, if enough votes
are gained.
But they cannot be voted upon
in an ordinary sense, although we
have seen in our legislative halls
the first attempt in history, recent-ly,
to amend the Bill of Rights.
No, I think the greatest threat
comes from not knowing what our
rights are and not exercising them
when they are threatened.

largely as a result of similar stu-dent
fund-raising activities around
the state.
SPAN groups, usually composed
of twelve to fifteen undergradu-ates
plus a faculty advisor, spend
eight to ten weeks in their coun-try
living with native families,
interviewing officials and gather-ing
research data. Upon their re-turn
to the States, SPAN'ers spend
seven months writing a lengthy
thesis on the basis of information
and experiences gleaned abroad.
Bethel College has one SPAN'er
this year, Bill Swenson, junior
social science major who will
visit Thailand for ten weeks dur-ing
the summer. Joan McNaugh-ton,
Bethel alumna of the Class
of 1964, and David Beck pre-the
CLARION Page3
• •
ceded him to Finland and India
respectively, since Bethel joined
the program in 1962.
Beck, junior political science ma-jor,
is now in India researching
a project on village life in a nine-month
program sponsored by the
University of Wisconsin. He will
complete a SPAN-length paper as
well as requirements for the B.S.
degree upon his return to Bethel
this fall.
Swenson, present editor of the
CLARION, will research a thesis
on government and communica-tions
while in Bangkok. He will
travel with other SPAN'ers through
Europe and the Middle East to
complete a world trip before re-turning
for the fall semester.
The twelve Thailand SPAN'ers
were selected from eight Minne-sota
colleges and universities in
April of 1964. They have been
meeting i n weekly seminars
throughout the academic year
under the guidance of Reidar
Dittmann, faculty advisor from
St. Olaf College, for advance stu-dy
in Thai language, history, and
culture. The SPAN Office is
presently planning to mold the
experiences of the Thailand
SPAN'ers into its first 16 mm
color film for educational and
publicity purposes.
The purpose of the SPAN organi-zation
is to contribute to interna-tional
understanding through spon-sorship
of individual research pro-jects
and international living. The
motto of the group reflects well
this goal: "It is better to light one
candle than curse the darkness."

The Christian faith is a religion of personal commitment. In
somewhat the manner that a woman is committed to a man in marriage,
the Christian is committed to Jesus Christ. And in our western society,
a woman makes a very personal decision to commit herself in love to
a certain man. And whatever these may be, the woman has very impor-tant
reasons for this decision.
The Apostle Peter says that we should be prepared to give a reason
for our faith. Pressed for reasons, a woman may give many and varied
reasons, or she may simply say, "I love him." But, either way she
always will say she loves him. Now, really, do we love Jesus Christ?
Let us apply this question to our relation with our denomination.
We are Conference Baptists (or CMA., Evangelical Free, etc. You apply
whichever tag is attached to you). Now, most of us, if honest, would
have to state that we are Conference Baptists because our parents
were Conference Baptists, although a thorough study of the New
Testament would lead one to believe that this is not quite the type
of reason the Apostle had in mind.
Our tradition is one that emphasizes individuality. We proclaim
that each person must make his own decision to commit himself to
Christ. But if we examine ourselves, we find that our churches give
years of rigid training. We baptize hundreds of children and teenagers
because, somehow it's the thing to do. This baptism results in a mildly
changed person, who, because of family and church, is able to function
as a "Christian." But, any radical change, any personal stance against
the evils of our culture is rare.
Oh, we often stop dancing and smoking, and drinking is always
out. But is it because we love this person Jesus Christ? Come on,
let's face facts, and let's try to get the older generation fo face
facts. It's because we were told not to do these things, and most of us
never really were tempted otherwise, that is, while we are at home.
And most of us never really thought much about "loving" Jesus Christ.
Maybe teenage Evangelicals should be presented with a choice,
not only between Christianity and non-Christian positions, but be-tween
the various forms of Christianity. Of course, this can never
happen, but we might consider lowering the voice with which we
proclaim freedom of choice and castigate those who readily receive
the children of the church.
Maybe we need to search the Scriptures and confirm our earlier
decision. We are older now, and need a more mature concern about
the meaning of Christian faith.

The state tourney basketball fever ran rampant throughout
the state as the final eight teams crowded into Williams Arena for
the semifinals. The first upset came as Bemidji knocked off ranked
Henning, but from then on Thursday's action was not unusual. Luverne
downed St. Paul Central (much to Webster Muck's chagrin), Faribault
beat Virginia City, and the oddsmakers' favorite son candidate, Minne-tonka,
knocked off Franklin.
The Wrecked Room in Edgren Dormitory bulged with well over
one hundred students on Thursday and Friday, practically all of whom
were bugged with "under-dog" fever. Psychologists often struggle with
this concept, but it was evident that all the rooters around the boob-tube
were pulling for upsets for no special reason. "Ah, I just like to
see the little schools win." "Look how short they are, compared to those
other big lugs." "City schools win the championship? Never."
The anti-climactic action (?) of the final game was a sad dis-illusionment
until Minnetonka emerged the victor. Instead of one's
mind rejoicing in the victory, thoughts were nostalgically turned back
to all the teams that lost along the way, and particularly to those teams
that were great, but simply had a cold night: Luverne, St. Paul Centra,
Wilmar, and others come to the fore. Certainly, if an elimination system
which would give teams a second chance could be worked out, the result
would be a better caliber of ball in the final games.
Times, scheduling, etc. make such a proposition impossible. But there
are still a few of us ancient cronies, sitting around clicking our dentures,
who remember when our old high school team was beat out by a spirited,
less able team, only later to get mauled by a team our school had
beaten by thirty points twice during the regular season.
Another point in fact is that the consolation games should be omit-ted
and in their stead, equal trophies should be presented to the
third and fourth place teams. This procedure would eliminate the
necessity of an athlete playing a half-hearted game. Luverne and St.
Paul Central, two excellent ball clubs, were simply a disappointment
in the consolation games — as were their opponents.

Does your Fire Extinguisher work?
Did you know? The ABC powder inside your fire extinguishers can compact at the bottom over time leaving it potentially useless when an emergency strikes.
The chemical used in ABC fire extinguishers will separate from the nitrogen used to pressurize it. The chemical then settles to the bottom of the fire extinguisher and becomes cake like. After several years it can become so hard it will no longer flow up the tube and out the fire extinguisher. Loosening the chemical from the bottom of the fire extinguisher is important to keep the fire extinguisher working properly.
Solution: Turn the fire extinguisher upside down and tap on the bottom with a rubber mallet to loosen the chemical. Do this every several months to loosen up the powder and make sure you have the tools you need, in the unlikely event of an emergency fire.
Fire extinguishers should be inspected every year to make sure they are in proper working order. Here is a good article with even more information to consider.

SUCCESS !! I received a confirmation email from Rogers today, "We're pleased to let you know that your new phone number 705-366-50xx is now active." Persistence pays off.
Another serious issue however is the "physical location (of phone) information has to match up perfectly" because it's "all done electronically". I gave Rogers the name and number of the radio phone guy since no "physical location" information is on my Canada Bell bill.
FYI: Bell Canada Radio Based Phone Service
You can now port your 705-366-50xx phone number to Rogers.
Last fall I received a letter from Bell Canada saying,
"The technology that is used to provide your telephone service requires equipment that has now been discontinued by the manufacturer, making it increasingly difficult for Bell to service and maintain... ...we recommend you consider an alternative phone service..."
I literally spent hours, at the end of May, going back and forth between Bell Canada and Rogers trying to preserve our island radio-based phone number, going to higher and higher levels. The good news is Rogers now has a "porting agreement" with Bell for our area. Today I was told by Rogers that they had "submitted the porting request and it should be completed next week." Hooray!!
We are using a Rogers Rocket Hub for internet and phone service. The cost will end up being similar but we get internet now too. The Rocket Hub will even ring the old ancient rotary phone. No dialing out of course with it. The Rocket Hub has two phone jacks, but the manual says you can connect up to five phones with a splitter.
Note: You can do a six month temporary suspension at a minimal cost.

Source: National Milk Producers Federation news release From Jim Mulhern, Chief Operating Officer, NMPF: "Now that the House has passed its nutrition policy portion of the farm bill, the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) urges House leaders to quickly appoint conferees who should, with their counterparts in the Senate, finish work on a new farm bill and get it passed into law. It's harvest time outside of Washington; it needs to be on Capitol Hill as well. For the nation's dairy farmers, it is critical for agriculture leaders in the House and Senate to include in the 2013 farm bill the provisions of the Dairy Security Act, which has already been approved this year by both the House and Senate Agriculture committees. The Dairy Security Act will provide dairy farmers with a cost-effective safety net, while protecting consumers and taxpayers at the same time. Dairy producers have been waiting two years to know the details of the federal dairy safety net. They need this information to make business decisions. Along with the rest of American agriculture, milk producers nationwide urge lawmakers to take this critical last step in the evolution of a better farm program." Back to news

Today I'm starting 24 days of handmade ornaments. I've been having lots of fun putting this together and I can't wait to share all of the ideas with you!
I'm so excited to be sharing my first ornament for you. I was inspired by my owl card from a couple weeks ago... and decided to make a Santa Owl.
I started with a paper pattern... I just folded a piece of paper in half.
Next I cut out a tummy, eyes 2 hat pieces and a beak.
Just start sewing the pieces together...
Next you stuff it with fiberfill.
I added googly eyes and a little fuzzy yarn to mine. I also glued on ricrac and wings.
Next he needed a little card to go with him.
I used the same basic shape as the ornament with a little less embellishment.
Now it is all set and ready to be gifted. Tomorrow we will make an ornament craft kit for the little girl in your life. xoxo Jenni

Red Sox sign C David Ross to two-year contract
BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today signed catcher David Ross to a two-year contract through the 2014 season. The announcement was made by Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington.
BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today signed catcher David Ross to a two-year contract through the 2014 season. The announcement was made by Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington.
Ross appeared in 62 games for the Atlanta Braves in 2012, including 47 starts behind the plate, in his fourth season with the organization and his 11th Major League campaign overall. The 35-year-old threw out 42.4 percent of attempted base stealers (14 of 33), the fourth-best rate among Major League catchers with at least 40 games at the position. A right-handed hitter, he batted .256 (45-for-176) with seven doubles, nine home runs, 23 RBI, 18 runs and 18 walks. His average of a home run every 19.56 at-bats ranked third among National League catchers with at least 150 plate appearances, while five of his nine long balls either tied the game or put the Braves ahead.
Atlanta went 54-35 (.607) in his 89 starts behind the plate over the last two seasons, the best winning percentage for any National League catcher with at least 65 starts in that time. The only catcher in the Majors with a better record from 2011-12 was Mike Napoli (.618).
Over the last four seasons, Ross has led the Majors with a 3.33 catcher's ERA (min. 200 games), the best four-year stretch in the Major Leagues dating back to 1998. He has thrown out 37.5 percent of attempted base stealers (99 of 264) over the last eight years, the second-best rate in the Majors after Yadier Molina's 40.0 mark (min. 400 games). In those eight seasons since 2005, he placed among the best National Leaguers in caught stealing percentage six times: 2005 (2nd, 53.8), 2006 (2nd, 41.4), 2007 (2nd, 39.0), 2009 (1st, 43.2), 2011 (4th, 31.2) and 2012 (3rd, 42.4).
Ross compiled a .269 average (155-for-577) with 36 doubles, two triples, 24 homers and 94 RBI in 227 games with Atlanta from 2009-12, and his .463 slugging percentage in those four campaigns was second among National League catchers (min. 600 PA) to Buster Posey (.503). He also placed fourth in that group in at-bats per home run (24.04), at-bats per RBI (6.14) and OPS (.816). From 2006-07, he ranked second among National League catchers with 38 combined home runs for the Cincinnati Reds, including a career-high 21 shots in 2006.
He played in eight regular season games with Boston in September 2008 after signing with the club as a minor league free agent that August. In 658 Major League games with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2002-04), Pittsburgh Pirates (2005), San Diego Padres (2005), Reds (2006-08), Red Sox (2008) and Braves (2009-12), he has hit .238 (405-for-1,701) with 89 doubles, five triples, 84 home runs, 248 RBI, 197 runs and 210 walks. He was selected by the Dodgers in the seventh round of the 1998 First-Year Player Draft.
Ross has appeared in six career postseason contests, including one with the Red Sox in 2008. He went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI as the Braves' starting catcher in the 2012 National League Wild Card Game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
With the signing, the Red Sox 40-man roster is now at 39.

NEW YORK – Rhode Island landed an "outlook stable" grade from Fitch Ratings.
The global rating agency assigned an "AA" rating to $96.35 million in general obligation bonds from the consolidated capital development loan of 2012.
Fitch also affirmed the "AA" rating of Rhode Island's $1.19 billion in outstanding state general obligation bonds and an "AA-" rating for the $733.6 million in outstanding appropriation-backed debt.
Overall, the Ocean State was labeled "outlook stable" by the rating agency.
"State-source revenues, particularly sales and personal income taxes, have shown notable improvement in fiscal years 2011 and 2012," said report.
The rating agency pointed to Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee's budget as one reason for the state's stable grade.
Fitch called the state's financial operations "conservatively managed" and said that significant pension reform has "significantly improved" the liability position.
Rhode Island's debt ratios are on the high end of the moderate range, with net tax-supported debt of $2.4 billion.
"Despite continued economic weakness, the state's financial position has shown recent improvement," said the Fitch report.

So pretty! If I ever get married I don't know how I would ever decide on a dress---I would want to wear one from at least 6 different eras!
I'm curious. What did you end up wearing for your wedding?
You look utterly lovely in that dress! Very ethereal and romantic! :)

Psychology Program
Welcome to the Psychology Program in the Department of Psychology and Philosophy at Sam Houston State University. Our overall program is rather diverse and includes the undergraduate curriculum, master's programs in General Psychology and Clinical Psychology, a Specialist Degree program in School Psychology, and a doctoral (Ph.D.) program in Clinical Psychology (with a forensic emphasis).
At the undergraduate level, we offer the Bachelor of Science degree. To ensure that you get the best possible and well-rounded exposure to our field, we require that you take particular courses that are essential to all areas of psychology; these are Introductory Psychology, Elementary Statistics, Research Methods, and History of Psychology. We also require each student to sample courses from various "blocks" within our curriculum; these include the Personality-Social-Developmental block, the Clinical-Adjustment-Applied block, and the Experimental Block. With this well-rounded foundation, students can then point their efforts toward specific areas of interest.
Typically, in order to work in the field of psychology, a student would have to obtain an advanced degree, either at the master's or at the doctorate level. Too often, though, our undergraduate students are under the impression that they can't do anything with the bachelor's degree in psychology. This assumption is not exactly accurate, though, and there are a plethora of careers for good students with the undergraduate degree. Keep in mind that a degree in psychology is a liberal arts degree and that the successful student can do any job that anybody else with a liberal arts degree can do and, often, do it better as the psychology students have studied, and have a good basic background in human behavior. Areas of employment for our students include, but are in no way limited to Human Services, Program Development, Public Relations, Advertising, Retail Sales, Management, Pharmaceutical Representatives, and Law Enforcement.
We welcome you to the Department and encourage you to do your best. Your future is in your own hands and your success in life begins right here.

Sports Writer
For three years, Travis Clark has anchored the Blue Knight offensive line. For two seasons, Nick Spitz has anchored the defense. Justin Rose had just one year with the defense, but he led the team in tackles, fumble recoveries, and interrupted passes.
Together, they helped lead the team back into the postseason for the first time since 2007. But as hard as they hit opponents at the line of scrimmage, they were hitting the books. On Thursday, May 2, that hard work finally paid off.
One will study at a technical school. Another will attend a Catholic institution in Rhode Island, while the last one prepares for a collegiate career at a local prep school.
But all of them will be playing football.
"It's an achievement to go on to play at the next level, and not everybody can do that," said Blue Knight football coach Mike Drury. "They're ready. They're excited, and it's a great day. It was good to get the guys together and recognize the hard work that they've put in."
Clark will attend Worcester Poly Technical Institute (WPI) where he hopes to immerse himself in engineering studies while he works his way onto their varsity line. He was a captain last fall, and was named to the all-conference roster. Drury said that he has a chance to play for the Division III Engineers this fall.
"He was our only three-year starter, and he can play any position on the line," said Drury. "For two years, he played center. He played guard. He played tackle for us. Anywhere we needed him, he was able to go to that spot and play at a high level. They saw that and saw a kid that had the academic piece. With that school, that's what they're looking for."
Clark said that he selected WPI for its educational opportunities, and he hopes to pursue studies in engineering. "I'm 75 percent sure that I want to go into engineering—maybe chemical engineering," he said. "I want to go to college to figure out what I want to do and see if it is a fit for me."
Like Clark, Spitz has a chance to work his way into the lineup at Salve Regina University in Rhode Island. As a senior, Spitz finished second on the team with 93 tackles but led the team with tackles in the backfield (14). He was named as an all-conference player last fall, and will play in the upcoming Military Bowl All-Star game at Rentschler Field.
"They watched him on film, and they know he's a great tackler," said Drury. "My communication with them was about his leadership ability because you can't see that on film. He was a great leader for us, defensively and with the team."
Rose turned to the Knights as a senior, and his impact was felt at once. The three-sport athlete managed to lead the defense in tackles (99) and was named to the all-conference roster as a linebacker. Rose will try to build his experience next year at Avon Old Farms to hone his skills for a college career.
"I think it will be a good step for him to grow academically and physically. I think this was a good decision on his part, especially for a kid that just came out this year to play for us," said Drury. "He played a little bit his freshman year, but I didn't even know he was in the building until he came out this year."
Drury said that the signings were the icing on the cake, and he hopes it serves as an example for his underclassmen. It takes more than just skill to make it to the next level. It takes hard work and commitment.
"Every one of them has been a great worker within our program. Colleges want to know if they can play the game, and all of these guys can play. Then, it's their academics. The bottom line is that academics is the number one piece in this process," he said. "This means that we're preparing the guys the way that we need to, and they're following through and doing what they need to do. I'm proud of them."

Kings 4, Hurricanes 3, OTNHL.com @NHLdotcom
LOS ANGELES (AP) -Perfect penalty killing and strong third periods have given the Los Angeles Kings consecutive victories after an 0-2 start.
Michal Handzus scored 56 seconds after the opening faceoff and again at 3:21 of overtime, leading the Kings to a come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night.
Handzus has four points in the first four games. Last season, he didn't get his fourth point until his 16th game.
"I am more patient this year and more confident and stronger," Handzus said. "I don't think about last year. This is a new season."
Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar scored their first goals of the season to help the Kings erase a two-goal deficit. Brown led Los Angeles with 33 goals last season, and Kopitar had 32.
In overtime, Carolina defenseman Dennis Seidenberg gave up the puck in the neutral zone and Handzus skated into the zone with it before beating Cam Ward with a short wrist shot. It was his third career overtime goal and first since Dec. 5, 2002.
Moments earlier, Kings goalie Jason LaBarbera stacked his pads and made a clutch save against Eric Staal after the Carolina forward got a pass in the slot from Ray Whitney and faked the goalie to the ice.
"We had an opportunity and didn't bury it. They had an opportunity and buried it," Carolina coach Peter Laviolette said.
Ryan Bayda, Dan LaCouture and Matt Cullen scored during a 6:20 span of the second period for Carolina. Defenseman Niclas Wallin had two assists for the Hurricanes, who lost defenseman Frantisek Kaberle about 7 minutes into the middle period because of a leg injury after he blocked a slap shot by Kings defenseman Kyle Quincey.
The Kings were trailing 3-1 when Brown took a 30-foot wrist shot from the slot that beat Ward low to the glove side at 17:55 of the second period. Kopitar got the equalizer with 9:41 left in regulation, backhanding the puck past the right arm of the sprawling Ward from the left of the crease after scoring attempts by Brown and Quincey.
It was the second straight game in which the Kings overcame a two-goal deficit. They beat Anaheim 6-3 on Tuesday night after trailing 2-0.
"Last year in a game like this, we would have just folded the tent and not done what we did tonight," LaBarbera said. "We weren't too happy with the first two periods, but we had a lot of jump and enthusiasm in the third.
"It's fun coming to the rink this year. It's a fun group to be around. Everybody's enjoying each other, and that makes such a huge difference when you go on the ice."
The Hurricanes, who led the NHL with 420 power-play opportunities last season, were 0-for-5 against Los Angeles and came up empty three times with the man advantage in the third period. The Kings have killed all 19 power plays through their first four games.
"We don't see them as much because they're in the east, but we knew they have a very fast team and they play an offensive game," Handzus said. "We stopped skating in the second period and got in a big hole, but we were able to come back."
Playing at Staples Center for the first time since beating the Kings 3-2 on Dec. 8, 2005, the Hurricanes tied it at 1 at 9:16 of the second when Bayda redirected Wallin's wrist from the left point.
Less than 3 minutes later, Wallin got a cross-ice pass from Joni Pitkanen and took a one-timer from the right point that deflected in off LaCouture's stick as he was tied up in front. Whitney made it 3-1 at 15:36 of the period on an assist from Staal, as the puck bounced in off the back of Whitney's leg.
The Kings opened the scoring after a turnover by Pitkanen, who joined the Hurricanes in a July 1 trade that sent Erik Cole to Edmonton. The defenseman was checked hard by rookie Wayne Simmonds on an attempted clearing pass and the puck bounced back behind the net. Simmonds chased it down and was able to make a perfect centering pass to Handzus near the crease despite a hard check against the boards from Tim Gleason.
Before the game, Kings defenseman Matt Greene signed a five-year, $14.75 million contract extension, six days after the club signed Kopitar to a seven-year, $47.6 million extension. Greene, in his first season with the Kings after spending the previous three with Edmonton, is making $1.25 million this season.
Notes: The Kings are one of only three teams to have not given up a power-play goal this season. Buffalo is 21-for-21 and Minnesota is 12-for-12. ... Carolina is the fourth club LW Sergei Samsonov has started the season with in the last four years, including Boston, Montreal and Chicago. The Hurricanes claimed the 1998 rookie of the year off waivers from the Blackhawks last January. ... Carolina is the only NHL team to win a Stanley Cup and miss the playoffs the next two seasons.

The Dolphins and Jake Long have been talking about a new contract on and off for nearly five months now. And while the talks started out as a straight contract extension and morphed into a lull in talks, the sides now are seriously considering what a break from one another really means and whether that is truly what everyone wants.
For the Dolphins, keeping and losing Long is an impactful decision on various levels.
If the team keeps Long, it feels it must happen at a salary that addresses what Long is today rather than what he was as a rookie when he came to the team as the first overall draft pick of 2008. What he is today is a hard working, solid, experienced player, who also has been diminished by injuries and is no longer elite but is still a good player to have.
"I think Jake can still play in this league for sure," Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said Tuesday.
Ireland said this in response to a question whether Long is elite anymore. If Ireland thinks Long is elite, then the Dolphins are in trouble because the general manager isn't properly grading his own left tackle. (And if you can't grade your own players, how in the world can you evaluate players that you're scouting?)
My sense, however, is Ireland doesn't believe Long is elite. Thankfully. And that is what is making the negotiations difficult.
If Long was elite, the Dolphins would simply shrug shoulders and offer to pay him like he is elite. That would make Long one of the highest-paid left tackles in the business and probably the highest paid as he has been the past five seasons.
But Long is no longer the best LT in the business. He isn't the best LT in his conference. He's isn't the best LT in his division. He's like ... third in his division.
And what that means is if the Dolphins want to pay value for Long they cannot continue to pay the $11.2 million per season Long made in 2012, for example. Nope, that's way overpaying. That's highway robbery, actually, when one considers the top tackles are making around $8 million per season on average.
The Dolphins also have to understand that Long seems headed in the wrong direction devlopmentally. He's going to be 28 in May and should be right in the prime of his career, but instead he played worse last season than the season before. And again, he tore a triceps muscle (significant injury that often haunts) and finished the season on injured reserve. It was the second consecutive season he finished the season on injured reserve with an arm injury. And those injuries are numbered among the multiple injuries he's battled in recent years that have seemingly played a role in his decline.
So the team has to guard against paying a steep price for a player that is declining and showing signs of falling apart.
Balance that against the idea that Long, when healthy, is still solid. He's doesn't suck. He's good. He's not as great as he once was, but he's still good. And letting good players walk is painful, particularly when the team has so many other holes it needs to address.
Letting Long walk creates another hole. Maybe the hole isn't at left tackle where Jonathan Martin proved during the final month of the season he can play. But it definitely creates a void at right tackle, which is the position Martin manned before he moved to the left side.
So those are all issues the Dolphins are weighing.
Long's issues?
He'd love to stay in Miami. He'd love to be an all-timer who spends his entire career with one team. He and his wife love it in South Florida. But ...
He wants to get paid. His agent wants to get paid. Someone out there in free agency is likely to pay him.
And then there's ego.
Long, a stoic team guy publicly, apparently has a sizeable ego.
"He's one of those guys that likes the idea of being the best at what he does and one way he proves to everyone that he is is by being the highest paid at what he does," one Dolphins source told me recently. "Yeah, there's a considerable amount of professional ego there."
And that's where we encounter a problem because the truth of the matter is Long needs to take a pay cut to be a value to the Dolphins. He needs to take a pay cut to come into line with the current market for left tackles. But his ego might hinder him from accepting that cut in Miami. His ego might demand he go out on the market and test how much love he gets because, he's convinced, lots of teams want the best left tackle in football on their roster.
And even if those teams aren't going to pay tons more than the Dolphins, sometimes getting that warm embrace from a new team feels better than getting a warm embrace from the current team that also had misgivings about you in contract talks.
Oh yes, the Dolphins have their misgivings about Long. They made that clear, I'm told by a source, in that an offer they made to Long during the season was considered by the Long camp as something of a low-ball attempt to re-sign him.
So this ongoing negotiation is delictate. It's so delicate, Ireland doesn't even want to admit Long isn't elite anymore -- perhaps for fear that will offend or tip the balance of the talks in some way.
"Well I'm not going to tell you whether I think he is elite because I'm still in a contract negotiation," Ireland said. "We certainly take, and I've had a good conversation with Jake when he exited the building, in fact I've talked to him a lot because he has been in the training room, but Jake has a decision to make and we have a decision to make.
"It's a very, very difficult decision and it's a very complicated negotiation, so we'll have to see how things go."
OK, so those are the facts. That's the anatomy of the delicate negotiation for your information. Store that.
Now ... you want my opinion? If not, you're done. Go to the comments section and discuss playmakers like we all like to do ad infinatum.
If you want my opinion read on:
Jake Long needs to grow up. And the Dolphins need to grow a pair. That's the only way this is going to resolve itself for the good of the team. And that's all I care about -- the good of the team.
Long needs to check into reality. He's made nearly $60 million from the Dolphins the past five seasons and he hasn't exactly delivered $60 million worth of production. Oh, he was well worth it his first two or even three years. But the last two?
So he needs to understand he is not worth $10 or $11 million a year. That simply is not the market. He's not even worth $8 million a year, frankly. He needs to understand that the team signing him to a four-year deal is risking a ton of money because he's lately shown few signs he might last to the end of that contract.
Tony Boselli -- the player I closely link with Long based on ability and career arc -- started breaking down in his fourth year with the Jacksonville Jaguars. By his seventh season he was effectly done. He played from 1995, when was the NFL's elite left tackle, to 2001. In 2002 the Jacksonville Jaguars, eager to get him off their books, offered him up in the expansion draft to Houston. Boselli retired instead.
I'm not sure Long will be playing four years from now -- not with his recent rate of injuries and decline.
Long has to understand the Dolphins must worry about that. So if he truly wants to stay in Miami and isn't, in fact, about the money, he needs to sign a realistic contract that addresses the concerns he raises.
Otherwise, walk my brother. But don't for one second consider yourself a team guy. You're a lot about money.
The Dolphins?
Yes, they have multiple holes. Yes, letting Long walk creates another hole. But signing a player that is headed toward a bad finish, knowing that he's headed toward that bad finish, is personnel department malpractice.
It's like signing Justin Smiley, who has suffered multiple shoulder injuries, to a big contract and then being surprised when he suffers more shoulder injuries and can't reach the end of his contract. It's like signing Jake Grove, who spent approximately one-third of his Oakland days on the sidelines injured, to a big free agent contract and then being surprised when Grove is injured in Miami and cannot play to the end of his contract.
The Dolphins made those predictable mistakes that were pointed out before those players played one down for Miami. So it wasn't second-guessing. And the Dolphins got bit in the behind by those signings exactly as predicted.
And now they're going to make exactly the same mistake? And worse, they're going to make it with a player they know intimately? And they're going to make it at a higher level because Long would be much more expensive than either Smiley or Grove?
Are they nuts?
Look, sometimes teams have to let good players walk. The Steelers are likely about to let Mike Wallace walk (hey, receivers talk!). The Indianapolis Colts let Pierre Garcon and Peyton Manning walk last year. The Arizona Cardinals let Karlos Dansby walk. The Texans did just fine after allowing Mario Williams to walk.
You know what? It's not the end of the world.
The Dolphins cannot afford -- or they should realize they cannot afford -- to continue paying offensive linemen as if they are game-changers. They are not. They do not score TDs. They do not win games. The Dolphins were mediocre with Long. They were mediocre after Long was injured. The team did not collapse.
Miami's record without Long as the starting LT?
Yes, the team should try to re-sign Long. But it should be a deal that won't hamstring Miami's ability to add playmakers. It should be a deal that doesn't extend beyond four years for reasons stated above. It should be a deal that takes into account that the NFL's best LTs are making far less rather than more than what Long made last year.
And if they explain it that way to Long, hopefully he relents. And if he doesn't, you lost a player that was mostly thinking about money after making truckloads in his rookie deal. You lost a player that can be replaced.
Move on.

Hammer film's Dracula Finale
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Hammer film's Satanic Rites of Dracula is the final Christopher Lee role as Dracula in the Hammer series. The movie sets Dracula in the modern world (set a few years after Dracula A.D.1972) with the great Peter Cushing as his antagonist. I loved this movie and thought it a brilliant conclusion to the Hammer line. Dracula has been revived into the modern world and is functioning as a reclusive wealthy industrialist set on introducing a deadly plague into the world. Dracula is obsessed with taking revenge on the Van Helsing decendents and intends to use them as pawns in his diabolical plan. This film has somewhat of a James Bond feel yet maintains the the mystery and suspense of previous Hammer incarnations."
Really pretty good
Monty Moonlight | TX | 05/27/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"It's true that Hammer's Dracula DID need to move out of the 19th century for the sake of refreshing the plot. While it could have been better, it came out quite good in my opinion. The older films were very good atmospherically, but lacked originality. This movie has that. The Black Plague plot was really a great twist, though it might have made a better ending if Dracula had won! One problem though, these movies take too long to introduce Dracula. Especially this one since it didn't have the atmosphere of the other films, though it was great when Dracula did show up! As for the DVD I bought, it was only 6.99, though it had almost no extras. Just biographies on Lee and Cushing and a quiz. I don't recall the company, but it was not anchor bay. It was Widescreen, but I don't know if it was a "fake" widescreen like the Anchor Bay one supposedly is. All in all though, I was pleased. Just hope I didn't get ripped off with the Fake Widescreen."
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Sure, Christopher Lee might've been tired with the role of Dracula by this time- who wouldn't? Lee and this series in general milked its original feel for all it was worth and then some, and now set to conquer the modern world. Peter Cushing, in particular, seems invigrorated and enthused at playing Van Helsing. The plot sees Dracula revived as a billionaire industrialist recluse who only works by night. Van Helsing & company get word of strange rituals being held, and investigate. The find out human sacrifices take place for Count Dracula, who has also gotten hold of a mutant strain of the Bubonic plague. His Four Horsemen for the Apocalypse include Van Helsing, who is captured, buy typically one of the three others chickens out, sacrificing himself for the good of mankind. Dracula needs the plague to end his own life and doom of immortality. We get a strange, dull, but unpredictable and rather original ending from the thorns of Christ. Also, Dracula has several brides keeping him company, and again Jessica Van Helsing is his next bride to be. I liked this a lot, and I also like Dracula A.D. 1972."
So-so end to the Hammer Dracula cycle
Steve Miller | 05/23/2001
(3 out of 5 stars)
"The final 'Dracula' movie from Hammer Films, it's not quite as good as previous efforts and budget constraints are painfully evident. The premise is just as appealing to me as it was when I first saw this film nearly 20 years ago now--it can be summarized as Dracula Meets The Avengers, as the vampire lord plans to unleash a deadly plague on the Earth--although I think Dracula's death is probably the most embarrasing any vampire has ever suffered. Peter Cushing shines as brightly as ever, although Christopher Lee seems a bit tired in the film. It might be a reflection of Dracula's own mindset, but it's more likely the actor's disastifaction with the role shining through. The scene with the vampire brides of Dracula rising from their caskets and surrounding one of the main characters remains intensely frightning to me."

Pterosaur Fossil Discoveries Offer Glimpses of Pterosaur Young main content.
by AMNH on
Although paleontologists have been studying pterosaurs for more than 200 years, it was only 10 years ago that scientists in China discovered the first fossil of a pterosaur egg—definitive proof that, like their dinosaur cousins, as well as most other reptiles and birds, female pterosaurs laid eggs. Inside the egg's protective shell, the young pterosaur's skeleton developed, gradually becoming more solid and more complete.
The 2004 egg fossil, a cast of which is featured in the upcoming Pterosaurs exhibition, includes a young pterosaur with a nearly complete skeleton, its wings wrapped around its body. Its wing bones are long and fairly solid, indicating that the animal would probably have been able to take off and fly once it emerged from its shell.
Evidence is still scarce, but additional fossil discoveries offer intriguing clues about how pterosaurs began their lives. In fact, scientists now think that young pterosaurs survived on their own from the start, with no help from parents.
Learn more about the lifecycle of pterosaurs in the upcoming exhibition Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs, which opens Saturday, April 5.

And I can't just keep on microwaving it indefinitely. What do you guys do to keep your tea warm?
*Disregarding iced tea or other variants
Should look for a mug warmer, as long as you're staying one place.
I 'm hesitant to get one for myself, though - I don't know just how hot they get, and I'd undoubtedly forget to turn it off, slide some papers over it and potentially catch the office on fire.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Since an under-inflated tire impedes handling, can be a safety hazard and reduces fuel efficiency, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System uses pressure sensors mounted in each wheel that send readings to a central electronic control unit. The system then evaluates whether the pressure is up to an acceptable range. If a reading is approximately 25% below the recommended level, the Fit will alert the driver through the Multi-Information Display (MID) located on the instrument panel. The problem tire will be indicated, along with the individual pressure for all four tires. The pressure display can be accessed any time, using the MID controls on the steering wheel.
