Cold Shots
As an appetizer Bethel students
were served with cold shots Tues-day
noon, October 7. Dr. Burton
assisted by Doris Turnwall R. N.,
and ex-navy corpsmen Bert Ander-son
and Bill Lindroth, quickly and
ably took care of the over 300 stu-dents
and members of the admini-strative
body who took advantage
of this preventive measure.
Each person was injected with
lc.c. of virus vaccines, the same
type as was used in the service.
The cost to the school was approxi-mately
one dollar per person, and
the time consumed in giving the
shots was two hours. Miss Turn-wall
reports that few of the stu-dents
complained of reactions on
A two year old toddler was the
youngest to be given a cold shot.
Several needles were bent, indicat-ing
that there must be some tough
hides on the campus.
Soneson, Nelson
Elected to S. C.
As a result of the resignation
of Sherburn Ray as president of
the Student Council, as well as a
vacancy in the post of secretary
in the same organization, a special
election was held during the chapel
hour on October 13. The results
of the election showed that Joseph
Melburn Soneson had been chosen
to the post of president while Doro-thy
Nelson was elected the mew
Mel is well-known to students at
Bethel. Besides being a star Gn the
gridiron, he holds many important
positions on the campus. His offi-ces
include; vice-president of the
Religious Council, and chairman of
the Gospel Team Committee.
Rockstad Gives
Deeper Life Plan
In Special Week
Now that Bethel has truly been
launched into a deeper life by the
power of the Holy Spirit working
through the messages brought by
Rev. Rockstad, it needs the con-stant
daily application of these
truths, to remain in this deep
spiritual walk. "To be crucified
with Christ is to die daily to your-
Rev. Rockstad said, in an inter-view,
that although he was unable
to be around the campus very much
this year, he noticed in the past
the re has been a tendency toward
frivolity on the part of the Bethel
students—not the real joy of the
Lord but a manifestation of the
flesh which tends to hinder contact
with others. "We should radiate
joy, but there is a difference be-tvi
een joy and frivolity. It is neces-sary
to have depth because the
world is on fire with carelessness."
On the other hand, he felt a spirit-ual
expentancy here, a hunger and
desire on the part of many for
manifestation of the Lord and was
gratified at the number of students
who remained for prayer meetings
after meetings.
Rev. Rockstad leaves the Bethel
students the thought that each one
needs a moment by moment on his
union with Him and reckoning of
constant fellowship in prayer and
the Word, besides obedience in
witnessing and all things.
Male Chorus Plans

Pronspecs" and
Retro specs"
Selected as the theme for this
year's homecoming is, Pro"spects"
and Retro"spects". This theme was
decided upon at the arrangements'
committee, Monday evening, Oct.
6, and will be used throughout
Bethel's annual Homecoming, Oct.
The theme is in harmony with
the advancements that Bethel has
made this year, and will be making
in the near future as well as
reminding the "homecomer" of the
way Bethel has been used in the
past to benefit those who have
attended it,—intellectually, spirit-ually,
and socially.
The various committees of ar-rangements
are hard at work with
final plans for the event. A primary
election was held Tuesday, Oct-ober
14, to select two men and
two women to be candidates in a
final election for a host and host-ess
who will help the visitors to
feel at home as they return to our

Have you ever lost that upon which your
confidence and assurance for present and
future __good seemed to rest? Has the thing
which inspired you to courageous endeavor
suddenly been taken from you? Has the light
upon which you so much relied for calmness
.and cheer gone out?
This, with little doubt, was the experience
of the ardent young propret, Isaiah. King
lTzziah, whose reign for decades over Judah
,had-.-been marked by comparative peace and
prosperity, had become the symbol of stabi-lity
and . security. As long as Uzziah reigned
the safety of Judah was assured. But then
the inevitable happened, Uzziah died! And
with his death lights went out for the young
. prophet. .His star of hope vanished. He was
blinded by the mists of disappointment and
anxious fears.
This, however, was but the prelude to a
blessed experience for Isiah. Thus we read,
"In, the year that Uzziah died, I saw the Lord,
, sitting upon a throne high and lifted up."
When Uzziah, Isaiah's human light, failed, it
vi as in order that he might see the only sure
and unfailing light and hope, the Lord Himself.
With faith removed from a frail human leader
he turned to see the heavenly Lord, in whose
hands rested the destiny of Judah, and of the
whole world. But that was not all; his vision
.::of the Lord led to cleansing from sin and,
finally, to a call to service to which Isaiah
answered, "Here am I, send me."
Again and again has Isaiah's experience been
repeated in some form in the lives of God's
people. Human support is removed in order
that we may hear and respond to His call to
Us. Who knows but what your seeming pre-
' sent loss is your opportunity to see the Lord,
and to say, "Here am I, send me."
R. Omark.
By the time this issue appears on the camp-us
Homecoming will be almost upon us. Hom-ing
coming- - -that's a time when all the "old
grads" come back and see who married whom,
check the hopefuls, and see if any good sermon
notes can be swapped. There's more to it
however. It is a time when those of us here
are sort of put on the spot. The "so you're a
Bethel student," attitude is present and it's
a just one. We mentioned in our last article
that things have changed and they have- - - -
new buildings, new teachers, and new stu-dents.
Yet the same ideals still prevail. The
deep underlying sense of reverence for the
things of God is stronger than it ever was.
Speaking of a deep sense of reverence re-minds
me that another Deeper Life Week has
gone by. We sort of missed dear Dr. Byus
and "My Wonderful Lord", yet I'm sure we
have has one of the most blessed weeks in the
history of this occasion. Rev. Rockstad minced
no words. He clearly portrayed what he be-lieved
to be the basic requirements of a deeper
life and God bountifully blessed his ministry.
This thought came to me in retrospect- - - -what
is the purpose of a deeper life week? Is it to
drag us from the depths of spiritual despair,
or is it an added impulse toward a fuller
Christian experience. May it be the constant
prayer of each and everyone of us that never
shall we need a deeper life week to bring us
out of spiritual despair.

Cluttered Facts
The past few years have seen a commend-able
amount of effort andmoney being spent
on keeping the Bethel plant in its best possi-ble
shape. There are, however, still several
eyesores around the campus that should be
taken care of. One of these has been brought
to our attention several times in the past few
weeks. We are referring to the bulletin board
in the main hallway of the college building.
Official announcements are nearly
obscured by the innumerable scraps of
paper and meeting announcements. It actu-ally
has gotten to the place where many stu-dents
fail to notice important information be-cause
of the difficulty of finding it on the
crowded board.
A recent check disclosed that there were,
besides the legitimate announcements : an em-pty
envelope without an address, three scraps
of paper which on closer examination proved
to be lost and found ads, two outdated announ-tm5

By President Wingblade
It is said that courtesy is "saying and doing
the kindest thing in the kindest way". The
word derives from "court". It was assumed
that in that high circle of the King's court
men and women would conduct themselves
with perfect propriety.
There are many rules covering social be-havior,
and there have been "finishing schools"
for young people through the years. Every
rule has grown out of some definite root of
reason or purpose, but after all the rules have
been put down, the basic one remains as "the
golden rule". Social decorum, to be genuine
and truly effective, must spring from a kind
and generous heart.
Booker T. .Washington, the great Negro
educator of the Southland, told of his first
meeting with one of America's truly great
leaders. Mr. Washington had arrived in New
York City and was walking up a street carry-
, ing two heavy suit cases. Suddenly he heard
a. quick step behind him and felt one of his
loads lighten; then a kindly voice spois,
"Pretty heavy load you have". "That," said
Booker T. Washington, "was the first time I
met Theodore Roosevelt."
Later it was President Theodore Roosevelt
who invited the Negro educator to lunch at
the White House, and thereby set the whole
country astir.
How true it is that one of the Jutstanding
characteristics of truly great men is their
kindly sympathetic interest in their fellows.
And of course we want to obtain that at
Bethel- - - -in classroom and halls, in dining
room and dormitories, on the open campus,
and in every social fellowship.
And it 'will be revealed in the incidents
and details of the daily program- - - in the
opening and shutting of doors, in quiet court-eous
conversation, in waiting patiently ones
turn, in the avoidance of crowding- - - -in "seek-ing
not ones own".
And the recipe is found in the rule of three:
Christ first, others second, myself third.
cements of meetings, an old election ballot,
and some assorted free advertising.
The cause for this is probably just plain
carelessness on the part of the students.
Announcements for the bulletin board must be
approved by someone in the office. We would
like to suggest that any personal announce-ments
be written on paper of uniform size and
that a special part of the bulletin board be
reserved for these.

Indians Scrimmage
With Murray
- Last week the Indians returned
to the practice field to iron tut
some of their difficulties. On Tues-day
nite Coach Skalbeck got the
Murray. High School Eleven to
come over to our field and pro-vide
a little opposition. Though
the team on an average was a
little smaller than the Washington
High squad, they were fast and
flashed a lot of deception. Once
again the Indians blocking proved
to be their greatest weakness, but
the team is learning and improv-ing
every day.
Injuries still plaque the team to
the extent that it is even diffi-cult
to scrimmage against each
other because of so many on the
side line. "Chuck" Starr has been
kept out of action for two weeks
with a badly bruised shoulder. Don
Goldsmith and Ronnie Skoog hob-ble
around on sprained ankles.
Brunko is still troubled with a
wrenched knee; Roy Johnson has
his wrist and forearm in a cast
because of a fractured wrist, and
Bob Daley is nursing a sprained
wrist. And so it goes Nels
Nelson and Mel Soneson both
suffered bruised thighs in the
scrimmage. with Murray well,
it goes on down the line. Fortun-ately
some new men have come out
for practice. Ev Johnson and Rudy
Forsman are among the latest re-cruits
and should prove a big
help in the backfield.
Practice was shortened every
nite last week in order that the
football men might get ready in
time for the evening service of
the special Deeper Life series.
This week however, the boys are
drilling hard and long in prepara-tion
for the homecoming game
with Austin on the 24th.
Sports Sketch
Our sports personality for this
week is Robert Daley, a boy who
is doing a swell job on the football
team. Bob, who is now a middle-man
in the Seminary, has been
around Bethel for quite some time.
Along with playing basketball for
two years, he has also been active
in baseball. Bob is twenty years
old, stands five feet-ten ana one
half inches, and weighs one hun-dred
and seventy pounds. In nigh
school he starred in track and was
on the all-state track team for two
years. Although he didn't play any
football in high school, he has been
playing a good game in the Indians'
backfield at right half. He has
speed, drive, and iiustle, and
should become one of the top per-formers
on the squad before this
season ends.
Bob is a member of the Central
Baptist Church of Sioux City, Iowa.
While he is preparing for the mini-stry,
he is serving as student past-or
of a church in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

Ca the Sidelines
Judging from the score of our
last football game, one would gain
the impression that our gridders
don't pay much attention to what
the coach says. But some of the
boys really take to heart what
Coach Skalbeck tells 'em. For in-stance,
last week the coach was
telling the backfield men to drive
faster. In fact, he emphasized it.
Drive faster! ! Not long afterwards
it was reported that Roy Johnson
took his jalopy up on Larpenter
and drove approximately 90 miles
an hour. Can't say that he wasn't
paying atention.
A good round of applause is due
our loyal students and friends who
traveled down to Rochester for the
football game. Approximately 100
fans made the long trip to back up
the Indians, and though there was-n't
much to cheer about, they
cheered heartily throughout the
game. And what's more important
is that as far as is known, no one
has made any gripes about our
defeat. There is something wonder-ful
about wholesome school spirit
that just can not be put into words,
and such spirit is fast developing
in our student body. Win or lose
the fans still love.
Thanks to the expert driving and
ingenuity of Johnny Dischinger,
the "Vibrator on Wheels" made the
long journey to Rochester without
serious mishap. Because of a bolt
that vibrated once too many times,
the fan belt would not cooperate,
and things began to get warm. Just
as it appered necessary to send
a team ahead with the coach in
the overgrown Chevy, Johnny
solved the difficulty with an old
clothes hanger. (Must of had a
Ford once.) I don't know why, but
the `ole bus held together and
made the rest of the trip without
Before we get too far away from
that last game, I think a word
of praise is due the Yellow-jackets
for their clean play. None of our
boys have had any other than a
good word for our opponents. No
slugging, piling, or any other of
the dirty play was -in evidence in
either of the games we've had with
them this year. All of which dis-proves
the idea that football can't
be played clean and well at the
same time.
School Song
Here you are fans! Clip this
copy of the school song out of the
paper and keep it with the school
yells that have appeared before. If
you can't memorize it, keep it in
your wallet or purse and use it at
our Homecoming game with Austin.
Stand up and cheer
Ye loyal friends and students of
our Bethel College;
Hold high the torch of victories
gone before.
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Give of your best and do not rest
but fight with zest
We never falter- - -onward we go,
To triumph now and evermore. .

a 'better paper?
Tom Starr: The paper, as a hole,
is pretty good. Just one thing in
particular and that is the sport
section. It could be written in
more of a college manner, mak-ing
mention of the fellows from
our own school who have played
"heads up" ball and giving credit
to whom credit is due. Also, an
anonymous column stating the
gripes and likes of some of the
students, suggesting changes and
improvements would help.
Rollin Reasoner: A two-week paper
would help the staff on some of
the work that crowds in on them
when they have to beat a dead-line
every week. Also this would
help to make the paper a bit
better all the way around. I have
no kick against the paper as it
is now, but I do feel that once
every two weeks would be suffi-cient.
Aleta Jewell: Add some poems.
Vannie Hedstrom: I think it is all
right as it is. Also I like the
weekly issue. Two weeks is too
long a time.
Dottie Nelson: The publication of
a Clarion every week is perfect.
Rev. and Mrs. Howard Olson
(Mabel Anderson), Sem. Class of
'47, were visitors , on the Bethel
campus on the opening day of the
Seminary. They are serving the
East Balman Baptist Churcn at
Balsam Lake, Wis.
Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Bjelland
(Constance Lindholm- -'41-'43, Sem.
'47), together with their young son
are now at Yale University, taking
a year of study in preparation for
their appointment to China under
the Baptist General Conference
Foreign Mission Board.
Betty Nyman, '43-'45, Fergus
Falls, Minn., came out to help us
cheer for the Bethel football team
last week. She is attending a
business college in Minneapolis.
There's no reason why we
shouldn't have a paper every
week, with all the activity
around here. Some type of a
activities column would be fine,
might even include gossip; also
an individual testimony column
might be a challenge.
"Pill" Wright: I think the Clarion
should be a daily paper. I don't
get much mail.- - - -(He doesn't
need it. Has plenty of company
- - - -Anonymous).
Ken W. Carlson: Put a Christian
object lesson in the paper in sort
of a humorous drawing of fig-ures.
Karl Lachler: Opportunities for
serving the Lord ought to be
made known. Also would like to
see "gospel thoughts" placed as
"fill ins" through the paper.
Frannie Smith: A Lonely Hearts
Georgine Anderson: I think a down-to-
earth Want Ad department
would be a benefit to all Bethel
students. A charge of 5c of less
per line could be charged and it
would help increase the Clarion
treasury to some extent.
Morrie Engstrom: I'm going to
start publishing my own paper
and call it "The Anti-Clarion"

Reds Rally for Spring Game Win
Lincoln - Taylor Martinez and Tommy Armstrong Jr. joined forces to complete 13-of-17 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns to rally the Reds to 32-25 victory in Nebraska's annual spring game on Saturday.
Playing in front of 60,174 Big Red fans at Memorial Stadium and a Big Ten Network national television audience, Martinez completed 8-of-10 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in the first half.
Martinez led the Reds to a field goal and a touchdown on his two first-half drives, but the Reds still trailed 25-19 at halftime because of the precision passing of White team starting quarterback Ron Kellogg III.
Kellogg completed 11-of-12 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown in the game, powering the Whites to a 14-3 lead. The White's lead grew to 17-4 by the end of the first quarter by winning a special "Find a Way to Win" challenge competition against the Reds, 3-1.
Martinez and the Reds pulled within 17-11 early in the second quarter, but Kellogg connected with David Sutton on a 17-yard strike to cap another scoring drive and put the Whites up 24-11. The Whites maintained a 13-point lead at 25-12 after each team secured one point in a Punt Catching competition between offensive linement from each team.
Armstrong entered the game with 7:30 left in the second quarter and marched the Reds on an eight-play, 75-yard drive that was capped by a 12-yard touchdown run by Imani Cross.
The Reds cut the advantage to 25-19 at the half, before completing the rally with a touchdown and a field goal in the third quarter.
The defenses asserted themselves in a scoreless third quarter, before Armstong hit Alonzo Moore on a 37-yard scoring strike on 3rd-and-7 on the opening play of the fourth quarter to give the Reds their first lead at 26-25.
The Reds put the icing on the cake of their Spring Game win with a special moment midway through the fourth quarter. Jack Hoffman, a seven-year-old from Atkinson, Neb., battling a rare form of brain cancer, sprinted 69 yards to the game's final score with the starting Red offensive unit paving the way. Hoffman galloped to paydirt on 4th-and-1 and both sidelines raced to the end zone to celebrate with Hoffman and the Huskers in the end zone. No extra point was attempted, making the final 32-25.
Hoffman finished as the game's leading rusher with 69 yards. Starting Red team running back Imani Cross carried seven times for 55 yards and a score on the afternoon, while King Frazier led the White team with 12 carries for 64 yards and a score. Graham Nabity added 33 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries for the White team.
Armstrong completed 5-of-7 passes for 102 yards, including the winning score to Moore. Armstrong added 10 carries for 26 yards rushing on the day.
Moore led the Red receivers with two receptions for 59 yards, while C.J. Zimmerer added a 45-yard touchdown catch from Martinez in the second quarter. Brandon Reilly also helped the Reds with two receptions for 44 yards, while tight end Sam Cotton had three receptions for 19 yards.
Jordan Westerkamp led the White receivers with four receptions for 21 yards, while tight end Jake Long hauled in three catches for a game-high 72 yards. Kenny Bell and Richard Wynne Jr. each added a pair of receptions for the White team.
Trevor Roach led the Red team on defense with 10 tackles, including five solo stops and a pass breakup. Thomas Brown added seven tackles, including two tackles for nine yards lost with one eight-yard sack. Harvey Jackson and Michael Rose also pitched in seven tackles while Donovan Vestal contributed an eight-yard sack.
Colby Starkebaum led the White team with eight tackles, including a game-high two sacks. Corey Cooper pitched in six tackles.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA – The 18th-ranked University of Mary Washington Eagles used a 25-6 run over the final nine minutes of the first half en route to a key 59-42 Capital Athletic Conference win over the York College Spartans on Saturday in Fredericksburg, VA. The Eagles, who improve to a perfect 12-0 overall, take over sole possession of first place in the conference with a 5-0 league mark. The Spartans fall to 10-3 overall and drop into second place in the conference at 4-1.
York got off to a good start as the Spartans jumped out to a 7-2 lead. The Eagles tied the game at seven before York forged a 14-10 lead with 9:49 left in the half. That's when the Eagles put together their game-winning run. Mary Washington's long run started with a Rachel Martin three pointer with 9:34 left in the opening half. York cut the Eagle lead to seven on a Taylor Santor jumper with 1:53 remaining but Mary Washington scored the final eight points of the half, taking a 35-20 lead to the break.
The Eagles opened the half by scoring four of the first six points of the half to increase the lead to 17. Brittany Hicks got the Spartans started on a 10-0 run as York climbed back into the game, trimming the Eagle lead to seven at 39-32 with 10:47 left. The Spartan deficit swung between seven and nine points over the next three minutes before the Eagles scored six straight points, increasing the lead to 13. Senior April Sparkman hit a three at the 5:59 mark, cutting the lead to 10 but that would be as close as York got the rest of the way. The Eagles scored the final six points of the game to provide for the final 17-point margin of victory.
The Eagles were very balanced led by senior Jenna McRae as the guard tossed in 11 points while she grabbed four rebounds and handed out four assists. Center Carol Dye tallied 10 second half points in addition to grabbing six rebounds. Senior forward Katie Wimmer contributed 10 points, grabbed six points, handed out four assists and registered four steals in 35 minutes of work.
York was also balanced led by Sparkman as the senior had 12 points and pulled in a team-high seven rebounds. Sophomores Kristen Haley and Brittany Hicks each had 10 points. Haley also had four rebounds and two blocked shots in 30 minutes of play.
The Eagles finished the game shooting 47.1% from the field including 33% (2-for-6) from three. The Eagles' shooting percentage was the highest registered by a Spartan opponent this year. York had not previously allowed an opponent more than 43% shooting for the year. The Eagles converted 9-for-11 from the free throw line in the win.
York shot a season-low 30.4% from the field including 6-of-20 (30%) from distance. The Eagles currently lead NCAA Division III in points allowed per game and field goal percentage. The Spartans 42 points are just over the Eagles' average of 40.1 points per game while the 30.4% shooting percentage is slightly above what the Eagles usually allow as their average coming into the game was 27.9%.
The Spartans were handled on the glass as the Eagles held a significant 59-42 edge in rebounding. The Green and White has now been outrebounded by 27 caroms in the last three games combined.
York returns to action on Wednesday night when they travel to Hood College to face the Blazers in another CAC contest. Tip time on Wednesday night is set for 6:00 pm from Frederick, MD.

When you hear the word "marketing" do you throw up your hands and walk away, because marketing is for advertising companies and not for librarians? I beg to differ!
What is marketing? To sum up: "Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to customers" (Wikipedia). Every portrayal in popular culture markets our profession, not always to the betterment of it. Every interaction you have with a patron markets our profession. Every time you fundraise, ask for a budget increase, plan a program, post to your library's Facebook page–you are absolutely, positively engaging in marketing.
One of the most powerful ways we can change the way we are perceived – in popular culture and in real life – is to market ourselves and our skill sets better. But how? There's a number of ways, but they boil down to: Toot your own horn! Be sure to advertise what you did, how you did it, who you benefited and how. Get program news out everywhere you possibly can. Outline in your fundraising flyer how many books/computers/databases last year's fundraising efforts provided. Punch up your online presence!
Need some help? Check out these resources:
▪ The Accidental Library Marketer, by Kathy Dempsey and her overall web site Libraries Are Essential. Kathy has put together a thorough reference site for marketing in libraries.
▪ Pop Goes the Library, by Sophie Brookover and Elizabeth Burns. A great book that outlines ways to corral pop culture references into your programming opportunities.
▪ Marketing Library Services, a newsletter specifically to address marketing issues in libraries, including what worked and what didn't.
▪ popculture-l, the ACRL Popular Culture in Libraries discussion group, "devoted to the general discussion of popular culture materials and all types of libraries." It's open to librarians everywhere, and is a great way to find out what other folks have done, or are considering.
There's absolutely no reason not to use pop culture references in your own marketing efforts. You can make a connection to a large percentage of the population with a Hollywood reference, and once that connection is made, your value communications will go even better. Give it a try!

It just keeps getting worse for Sheriff Lee Baca — and, more important, for Los Angeles County residents who counted on him to lead the world's largest sheriff's department.
Whether Baca can be relied upon to lead is in more doubt than ever after an FBI investigation of jail inmate abuse led to the indictments handed down Monday against 18 current and former sheriff's deputies.
The 18, of whom at least 16 were taken into custody, are subordinates, not L.A. Sheriff's Department brass.
But for anyone who wonders if blame for the department's failures goes all the way to the top, a statement from the U.S. attorney announcing the indictments was damning.
The investigation showed "these incidents did not take place in a vacuum," U.S. Attorney André Birotte Jr. said. "In fact, they demonstrated behavior that had become institutionalized."
Some members of the Sheriff's Department, Birotte said, "considered themselves to be above the law."
A leader sets the culture of an institution, and if these allegations are correct, Baca's management clearly has failed.
The various charges laid out in five separate criminal cases include illegal beatings of Men's Central Jail inmates and visitors. They include civil-rights violations in the form of arrests and detentions of five people visiting inmates (including the Austrian consul general), according to the Justice Department statement. They include illegally building and possessing an assault rifle.
And they include lying to investigators, along other obstruction-of-justice charges. The Justice Department alleges that two Sheriff's Department lieutenants attempted to hide an inmate from the FBI and federal marshals, falsifying records to make it appear the man had been released, after learning he was cooperating with the investigation.
These are grave charges.
The inferences shovel more dirt on Baca's future even as the 71-year-old continues to insist he will run for a fifth term next June.
The scandals have been piling up for more than a year, starting with a September 2012 report by the American Civil Liberties Union alleging brutal treatment of jail inmates by deputies. In response, Baca said he fired about 10 deputies and guards for failing to meet the department's code of conduct, and pushed out Undersheriff Paul Tanaka in what Baca said was an effort to create more direct communications with assistants.
But there was more trouble to come: federal investigations. A Los Angeles Times report that the sheriff had hired more than 100 deputies despite records of past misconduct. A recommendation by an independent Citizens' Commission on Jail Violence that closed-circuit cameras and scanners be installed and jail personnel be rotated to prevent cliques from developing. The move by the county Board of Supervisors to hire public-corruption prosecutor Max Huntsman as an inspector general for the Sheriff's Department.
And now this.
In a statement Monday afternoon, Baca called it a "sad day for the department." That's one thing he has got right. It's a sad day from the bottom of the Sheriff's Department to the top, and a disturbing day for all L.A. County residents.
The 18 criminal indictments against L.A. sheriff's deputies are an unofficial but no less serious indictment of their boss.

Some of my fondest memories of college was coming home to my Granna's house (she graciously let my husband and I live with her and my Bunka when we were going to school) and sitting down to a 3 course meal EVERYNIGHT when we'd come home from a long day at school. I'm talking salad, bread with lots of butter and some fabulous main dish that was as fattening as could be. My beautiful French grandmother is a wonderful cook and has taught me so much. My husband and I look back at our photos of those couple years and we were so chubby, and I totally know why….granna's home cooking! I am so lucky to have her and my grandpa (Bunka) in my life and I miss seeing them now that we are in CA.
I created this beef stew in honor of my sweet grandma, because it reminds me of those days eating dinner in her comfy kitchen. Although beef stew isn't the prettiest dish to photograph, it's as tasty as can be. I hope you will all enjoy a little old fashion comfort food!
Good Old Fashion Hearty Beef Stew
1 Cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 lb beef stew meat
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 celery ribs, cut into ½ inch pieces
3 peeled carrots, cut into ½ inch pieces
6 oz package sliced white mushrooms
1 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1 ½ Cups pearl onions, peeled
2 Cups peeled and diced turnips
4 medium potatoes of choice, cut into ½ inch chunks
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
32 oz beef broth
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place the flour, salt, pepper and stew meat into a large ziplock bag. Shake around to coat the beef, then remove beef shaking off excess flour.
2. Heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil into a large dutch oven over medium heat. Place flour coated beef into pot and brown all sides, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 2 Tablespoons olive oil into pot and add carrots, mushrooms, fennel, onions, turnips, potatoes and garlic. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally then add broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Cover with oven safe lid and place in oven for 2-2 ½ hours or until beef is fork tender. Remove from oven and season to taste as desired. Serve with soft rolls and enjoy!

MILLINGTON, Tenn. -- From the northern corner of British Columbia to the southern tip of Florida, the International Hot Rod Association saw its most diverse lineup of world champions ever as the IHRA wrapped up its 2013 season Sunday at the Summit Racing Equipment World Finals at Memphis International Raceway.
After a weather-filled Saturday, Sunday's championship finale went off without a hitch as beautiful weather greeted the 10 world champions left standing in the Summit Racing Equipment Tournament of Champions and Summit SuperSeries races held over three days at the Millington, Tennessee track.
All six of IHRA's Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour divisions were represented in Sunday's Tournament of Champions finale, with Division 4 taking home bragging rights to Texas and Louisiana.
"It took us a while to get here, but boy was it worth it. We got here last Friday and have just been waiting for our opportunity to shine," said Top Sportsman World Champion Graham Foster. "We came down here for the incredible competition and to try our hand against the best and to come away from this thing with a win is just awesome. I can guarantee you it will make the trip back home a little less stressful!"
In the final Foster nailed the tree with a .005 light and ran a 7.618 on a 7.58 dial at 176.42 miles per hour in his '68 Camaro to take home the win. Koontz ran a 7.619 on a 7.61 with a .092 reaction time in the runner-up effort.
IHRA's fastest class was won by one of its fastest drivers as Bulverde, Texas' Austin Cowan took one of three world championships out of IHRA's Division 4. Cowan went four rounds on Sunday culminating with a final against another driver making the long haul from northern Canada, Sherwood Park's Trevor Ritchie. Unfortunately for Ritchie, his car ran into trouble while staging and Cowan was able to take a leisurely Sunday drive to his first IHRA championship.
Cowan, who squeaked into the field with a third place finish in Division 4, also had wins over Michael White, Steve Dweck and David Johns.
The 2013 Division 9 Hot Rod champ, who had yet to win a race this season after four trips to the finals, also had wins over Keith Mayers, Mike Frederick Sr. and Mark Mullen.
"It is hard to believe it has been that long since I have won one of these things, but it really does mean a lot to me," Griffin said. "This was such an exciting weekend with a lot of heavy hitters and we are proud to be standing here today with this trophy. When we got to the finals we felt pretty good, we just didn't feel like we were going to be unlucky enough to finish runner-up for a fifth time this season."
The Division 4 domination continued in Super Stock and Stock as Jimmy Hidalgo Jr. and Wes Neely - both Renegades division champions - took home Ironman trophies.
Hidalgo defeated Tony Cowell, Jim Reynolds and Marvin Dunahoo to reach the finals.
In Stock, Florence, Mississippi's Wes Neely drove his '88 Trans Am to a win over Jeff Longhany in a narrow double breakout victory to hand him his first IHRA title. Neely had a 12.369 on a 12.37 to Longhany's 10.549 on a 10.56 in the championship tilt.
"A lot of close races, a lot of good racers out here this weekend," Neely said. "It means so much to me. To be a champion, not just in my area, but in the whole country, it is a big honor."
John Dustin was the Quick Rod World Champion representing Division 1, besting Vernon Rowland in a shootout in the final. Dustin, from Rockville, Maryland, took his powder blue dragster to a .012 reaction time and had an 8.912 lap at 141.31 mph in the 8.90 class to Rowland's 8.930. Dustin reached the finals with wins over Otis Henry, Jake Levatino and Jeremy Mason.
"I had a lot of trouble earlier in the weekend with a lot of red lights, but we kept tinkering with the car and finally we found where we wanted it today," Marcus said. "It is unbelievable to walk away from here with the championship. I was happy when I got down to four and really calmed down and then to keep going and win it all, man what an amazing feeling."

My Comcast cable TV subscription gives me access to roughly three gazillion channels. Of those, I routinely watch maybe 15. So why am I paying for channels I don't want?
Because I have no choice, that's why. Indiegogo campaign Koo Dey Ta promises to change all that if it hits its $150,000 fundraising goal. The service aims to deliver a la carte TV channels, meaning you can pay just for the ones you want to watch.
Intriguing, no? Although it seems like a long shot at this point, even the promise of such an option seems too tempting to ignore.
Koo Dey Ta ("coup d'etat," get it?) will offer its service across "almost all platforms: Android, iOS, Xbox Live, PS3, Roku, Boxee, and whatever else comes out along the way, although initially at launch we will focus on browser, iOS, Android, and Roku."
That Roku option is key, as it would give you that live programming on your TV rather than just on a computer or mobile device. KDT doesn't know yet how many channels will be available at launch, but says it's "negotiating with the major networks" and hopes to charge an average of $3 per channel.
For someone like me, that would work out to $45 per month -- or perhaps less if I deactivated channels I wasn't using for long stretches. (For example, I don't usually watch AMC except when "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men" are on, so it'd be great if I could pay for it only when there's a new season to watch.)
This might also be an ideal solution for cord-cutters who manage just fine with the likes of Hulu Plus and Netflix, but still want local channels (or ESPN) for sports and the like. Of course, it remains to be seen whether, say, the NBC channel would deliver local content.
Actually, there's a lot that remains to be seen -- like whether KDT can get any networks at all to buy into this. But for as little as $1, you can show your support for an a la carte subscription option. For $25, you'll be able to participate in the closed beta test, while $50 buys you into the "better beta," with more channel/device testing and other perks.
Of course, KDT is already facing competition from the likes of Aereo, which offers live TV streaming to Apple devices, Roku boxes, and Web browsers -- but only for those who live in New York City.
The video below offers a bit more detail on how KDT will work. Take a look, then let me know if you think this is a campaign worth funding. Personally, I'm all in favor of anything that breaks -- or at least weakens -- the cable TV stranglehold.
We tested 5G speeds in 13 cities. Here's what we found: Faster speed versus more coverage. That's the most important issue for 5G networks today.
We drowned AirPods, Powerbeats Pro and Galaxy Buds: We sprayed them, dunked them and even put them through the wash to find out which one of these three wireless earphones can handle the most water.

General Information about WFCAM data products
Rice image compression
CASU is using the Rice lossless compression to store both the raw and reduced data. Rice compression is supported by CFITSIO and by DS9 (starting from version 5).
CASU is using the Zenithal Polynomial projection (ZPN) to encode the astrometric calibration in the FITS headers. Although ZPN is part of the FITS standard for WCS encoding, it is not supported by IRAF until the last version. ZPN is instead correctly understood by other software packages like DS9 and Gaia. For more information on how to fix this problem, see the IRAF ZPN Patch document. If you use Terapix software (e.g., SExtractor or Swarp), check out the Terapix Software ZPN howto document to lean about ZPN-related issues.

Staff writer
If Old McDonald made Marion County his farm, his biggest crop would be whitetail deer. They seem to crop up everywhere these days, in the field, along the hedge, and yes, in the front grill of many a vehicle.
Even though just about every vehicle my family has owned in the past has collided with a deer at one time or another, I am still amazed when I see one up close.
It is still a thrill when out of the shadows, a deer comes bounding from the ditch, making a beeline for the other side of the road.
Once my husband and I were driving our white Toyota pickup down a less-traveled road cut deep between two ditches about three feet high on each side of the road. What a thrill to see the whites of those buck eyes, just seconds before realizing he was going up and over us.
The underside of a deer is white, not as white as the whites of his eyes when he leaps over the top of you, but still, white, and pretty cool looking from underneath.
A less favorite deer encounter happened several years ago when I was driving our multicolored GMC Sierra pickup.
The truck had a paint job second to none. After three deer with less than stellar intelligence banged into the side of it, we learned just how much a paint job like that cost to redo.
What stupid deer! I saw the first of four coming full tilt toward the road. I thought I did the right thing and slowed down. Wrong! The next three deer banged right into the truck just behind the driver's side door.
Ever since then I have really enjoyed eating venison gathered by the hunters in my family. I figure I have more than paid for it.
Despite the trouble they cause, I still enjoy seeing deer in the wild. I am amazed at how such large creatures can co-exist with humans without being seen for almost an entire year, and suddenly boom, out of the woodwork they come during rut season in November.
No one has to feed, water, or give them shelter. They just survive on their own, and usually end up looking pretty fat and sassy by fall.
I have to admit it makes me rather mad that I have to go to so much work to keep our animals contained. We invest so much time in chores while the deer simply do as they please, go where they please, and eat what they want.
Our two horses are with me on feeling a bit put off with the local deer population. More than once I've looked out my kitchen window to see the horses streaking across the back pasture, chasing deer away from the water tank or even the pond. Nothing gets the horses quite so wound up as deer invading their territory.
Thank goodness for that. One evening my husband and I went for a walk through the pasture and up a waterway to return a CD to his parents.
It was fall, it was almost dark, and what was to be a quick little walk, turned out to be much, much more … thanks to a crazy buck in rut!
When I first heard that wild snort, I did not believe my husband that it came from a deer. What kind of creature makes a weird sound like that?
Of course, he thought it was hilariously funny when we next heard stomping footsteps and I hid behind him, sure it was the boogie monster out to get us.
By that time it was pitch black out, perfect for him to try his new night-vision goggles. Of course, I could see nothing, but my husband got quite excited when he focused in on what was following us up the waterway. It was a big many-point buck.
By this time, I realized we had no weapon of protection with us, save the glasses and my cell phone. Thinking I could scare the big deer off with a little noise, I called myself so the cell would ring.
The buck kept coming, snorting, bellowing, and seeming to be extremely angry at this point.
I was certain we were going to be mincemeat and impaled on angry deer horns. My husband was dreaming of looking that bad boy in the eye and riding him to the moon. Thank goodness the horses came to the rescue.
In the pitch-black darkness, we heard thundering hooves coming from the barn lot, up the creek, and through a gate to the field. They couldn't reach us and the buck, but they made enough noise for that buck to think twice about attacking us.
The ground shook as the horses thundered by in the dark; and when they were gone, so was the deer.
That experience was enough to make me think twice about raising farm animals verses wild. No deer sanctuary going in at our place anytime soon. I'll stick to horses, cattle, and goats. They might cost me an arm and a leg in feed and fencing, but at least we don't have to wear them on the front bumpers of our vehicles.

Your zzz's count this holiday season, so start counting them
Between squeezing extra activities into your schedule, finding time to bake holiday treats for your children's classrooms and organizing a mini family reunion, the holiday season might be causing you a bit of stress. And if that stress is affecting your sleep, you could be caught up in the vicious cycle of exhaustion causing stress and stress causing more exhaustion.
(BPT) – Between squeezing extra activities into your schedule, finding time to bake holiday treats for your children's classrooms and organizing a mini family reunion, the holiday season might be causing you a bit of stress. And if that stress is affecting your sleep, you could be caught up in the vicious cycle of exhaustion causing stress and stress causing more exhaustion.
Creating a personal sleep sanctuary will help you meet your needs for rest and rejuvenation and give you plenty of opportunity to count your zzz's and not lie awake wishing for sleep. By improving your quality and quantity of sleep, you are able to better handle all the stresses of the holiday season, and instead share in the fun activities at this time of year.
"A lack of sleep negatively impacts our mood and outlook, as well as our physical health," says Terry Cralle, a registered nurse and certified clinical sleep educator. "Sufficient sleep, a good diet and regular exercise are the three ingredients to staying healthy all season long."
You may be surprised at how many people experience issues sleeping. The Better Sleep Council reports that 66 percent of people 18 to 34 claim that they have trouble falling and staying asleep. That number drops to 53 percent of people ages 35 to 54, and just less than half of people 55 and older. If you fall into the portion of the population experiencing sleep troubles, consider these tips from the Better Sleep Council:
* Build a good sleep environment – A good sleep environment is imperative when it comes to counting zzz's each night. Start off with a quality mattress. "A mattress is an investment, not only financially but for your health," says Karin Mahoney, director of communications for the Better Sleep Council. "To help improve your sleep – and your quality of life – it's a good idea to compare the mattress you are sleeping on to new models every five years and to consider replacing your mattress if it is more than seven years old."
* Sleep in your ideal bedroom – Light, noise and even temperature can disrupt sleep or make it difficult to fall asleep. Purchase light-blocking shades and install them in windows to keep the sun, streetlights and passing car headlights from shining in. Consider finding a source of white noise – such as a fan or sound machine producing soft ocean sounds – to cover up other noises happening in the house like the heater kicking in, or someone getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Finally, you should consider turning the temperature in the bedroom down a degree or two – or getting it as close as possible to the ideal bedroom temperature of 65 F. A cooler temperature can help the body relax and fall into sleep much more easily.
* Count your sleep – not sheep – Track your sleep using a sleep app. Several apps reviewed by the Better Sleep Council provide users with a variety of benefits. For example, some are designed to monitor your breathing and movements, and they encourage you to wake up when you're in the lightest stage of the sleep cycle. Others can record your snoring and breathing habits to help determine if you are experiencing any distractions mid-slumber.
Catching the right number of zzz's can lead to better health and more energy this holiday season, helping to reduce your stress level. Make good sleeping habits and creating a sleep environment a priority, so you can wake up feeling refreshed every morning.

The Ash Pond
On the other side of the road dividing Krematoria IV, and V (see map), was Krematorium IV, with an identical cremation rate as K-V, 768 corpses in a 24-hour period. Both K-IV and V had been built above ground for financial reasons. Each gas chamber was divided into at first three, and later four, rooms with a total capacity of 2,000 victims. The holes for dropping the gas were in the walls. Between it and the Little Wood is a pond, one that was used to dump the ashes of the murdered victims. It sits there today, still, quiet, as is the whole of this part of Birkenau, eerily quiet now. In the distance is The Sauna and between it and the Pond, the ruins of Krematorium IV. Scrolling 'round to the right you are able to see the Little Wood, where people just off the train were trucked prior to their gassing. For SS photo of the victims waiting in the wood see [link].

Un-heavenly: Blue ice smashes windshield
"Blue ice" sounds like the stuff of urban legend– or maybe a domestic vodka. The unsavory truth is that falling chunks of frozen airplane waste dubbed "blue ice" do exist, and one came crashing into Kevin Campbell's windshield July 16.
Campbell was cruising home on a Saturday night, headed north on 29 just past Flaming Wok when he glimpsed a shiny white object. In the next instant, it crashed into his windshield with so much force the trunk to his Audi A6 popped open.
"It was quite a shock," says Campbell. "And it was quite a hit."
He pulled into the Food Lion parking lot. Water covered his windshield and ice crystals speckled the car. His windshield bulged like it had been hit with a lead volleyball, and shards of glass covered the interior of his car.
Campbell called the police. "He thought I was crazy," recounts Campbell. "He thought someone had vandalized the car."
How does he know it wasn't a gigantic piece of hail? "Just from the size of it," says Campbell. "There was no bad weather that night."
"It's not supposed to happen, but it does," says FAA spokesman Arlene Murray.
If there's a leak in a plane's lavatory, the blue-colored water drips down and freezes on the bottom of aircraft traveling at high altitudes, particularly on overseas flights, she explains. As the plane descends, the ice melts and streaks to earth, usually causing no harm– but "One or two have gone through garage roofs," Murray says.
The FAA sends an inspector out to determine if the projectile from the sky is indeed blue ice. "We don't want people to handle it," says Murray, suggesting that those who are iced put the object in a bag.
The deposited mass is not always blue ice, she says. One investigation identified a train as the culprit.
"We do investigate," says Murray. "We get the time and the area, and contact the carriers. Planes are not supposed to leak."
That probably won't help Campbell, who did not report the incident immediately. The FAA keeps radar records for only 15 days, says Murray.
"It was probably an arrival coming into Charlottesville," she says. Although this is a high air-traffic area, planes heading for Dulles or BWI would still be at around 20,000 feet and less likely to lose their blue-ice loads, notes Murray.
Bill Pahuta, general operations manager at the Charlottesville Albemarle Airport, has worked in airports for 29 years, and he's never heard of blue ice. "I've heard of black ice," he says. "It must be a tremendous leak to freeze like that."
Air traffic at 9:45pm on a Saturday night is pretty light, says Pahuta. "We get a lot of corporate jets. You never know when they're coming in."
The incident cost Campbell nearly $400– his $250 comprehensive deductible and $140 for a rental car. If he could figure out which aircraft was responsible, he could go after the carrier for reimbursement.
The FAA keeps no statistics on the amount of property damage caused by blue ice, and, in fact, reimbursement is rare.
In 2003, Santa Cruz, California, boat owner Ray Erickson successfully sued American Airlines, which was ordered to pay $3,236 after two chunks smashed through the skylight on his boat. He could have been hit on the head, he told the Santa Cruz Sentinel, had he not stepped away to answer the phone.
Murray is unaware of any fatalities from blue ice.
And she debunks another popular notion: that pilots dump the toilet tanks before landing. "That's against regulations," she says– and unsanitary. "They're not supposed to dump anything except fuel in an emergency."
She also points out that if pilots dumped the lavatory before landing, the contents would be liquid and would dissipate.
Kevin Campbell is all too aware that had the windshield-shattering chunk hit on the driver's side, he could have suffered more than a nicked finger from the glass.
Now, like Chicken Little, he actually has to consider what could come falling out of the sky. "It makes me more conscious of looking up," he says. "I pay more attention."
It came from above– and left an inch-deep dent the size of a volleyball in Kevin Campbell's windshield.

Puncture wounds are less likely than cuts to be stitched, stapled, or
have a
skin adhesive applied because:
Puncture wounds may be stitched if the cosmetic appearance of the
resulting scar will be greatly improved or if stitching is needed to restore
function to an injured deep structure, such as a tendon or ligament.
If you think you may need your wound closed by a health professional,
see Are Stitches, Staples, or Skin Adhesives Necessary?
