Obama Sworn in to Second Term as President
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has been sworn in for a second four-year term.
Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office Sunday in the Blue Room of the White House. First lady Michelle Obama, daughters Sasha and Malia, and a few reporters witnessed the ceremony.
Obama will take the oath again on Monday during a public swearing-in at the Capitol before hundreds of thousands of people.
Earlier, the president and Vice President Joe Biden honored the nation's fallen soldiers, placing a wreath, adorned with red, white and blue ribbon, in front of Arlington's Tomb of the Unknowns.
Obama and his family then attended services at the historic Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Washington.
Biden was sworn in to a second term earlier this morning.

On the cusp of 2012, I've invited 11 of the greater Houston area's top minds to contemplate the world's end. Lightheartedly I've asked them, before the Mayan apocalypse, for the one burning question that they'd like to see answered before the cataclysm. A new entry in the 11 for '12 series will be published each morning during the holidays.
Today's question comes from Adam Kuspa, vice president for research at Baylor College of Medicine.
Before The End in 2012, I would want to know whether there is life beyond our solar system.
More specifically, I would want to know the percentage of earthlike planets in the Universe that harbor life. I realize that my question assumes that only the low-energy chemistry that constitutes life on Earth is compatible with what we would call life, but I am okay with this limitation. If the percentage is very low, say that life exists on one in every one billion earthlike planets, I would be thrilled to know there is even one other planet that harbors life.
Of course, it would be much more interesting if the percentage is high, say 1 in 1,000 Earths. If that were the case, I would want to know about the general characteristics of the metabolism and reproduction of life forms on 100 such planets. How are resources assimilated and converted into characteristic structures or into useful forms of work, such as movement? Are there commonalities in metabolic networks? How is adaptation to the environment achieved over short times spans, and across generations?
Perhaps most important, I would want to know how information is transferred to offspring. Information transfer is critical because it allows useful developments to be passed on without the need for them to be reinvented every generation.
At this point you are probably thinking I am asking for answers to all sorts of questions and I was to be given the answer to only one question! Allow me to defend my unfair play. The first part of this short essay was a way to introduce the real answer that I am after, which to me is the greatest unanswered question.
As planets cool and organic chemicals accumulate, is their organization into autocatalytic, self-perpetuating life forms inevitable?
Does life just happen?

Want to Train Your Brain?
Even with today's effective combination HIV therapy, HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) persist. Researchers and clinicians are working to understand the triggers for these neurological changes -- which can result in mild to severe memory problems, mood changes, and (more rarely) dementia -- and develop strategies to prevent or treat them.
San Francisco AIDS Foundation is currently partnering with "brain training" software company PositScience to develop and test a cognitive training program to treat HAND. The program hinges on the concept of "neuroplasticity": your brain's ability to remodel, or change, throughout your lifetime. (Watch a simple animated video of how neuroplasticity works.)
"We are so pleased to be partnering with PositScience to explore and develop a non-invasive treatment for HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder," says Bobby Fisher, manager of the foundation's housing and financial benefits programs. "It has become increasingly common for some of the people we serve in our programs to report cognitive deficits like memory difficulties, attention problems, and mood changes. It is a challenge for both patients and clinicians to determine if these conditions are due to aging, a complication related to HIV infection, or a combination of the two; the anxiety stemming from this uncertainty alone can be debilitating."
Fisher explains that people with cognitive deficits can experience difficulty adhering to HIV medications, keeping medical appointments, and paying bills on time. "Housing and financial benefits staff work closely with program participants to develop strategies to cope with memory and attention problems so they can continue to stay healthy," he says, but adds that coping strategies alone do not address the emotional and interpersonal toll that cognitive deficits can take on individuals' lives. Thanks to this partnership and PositScience's work, he says, "we are hopeful that our program participants and all people living with HIV will soon have an effective option to treat cognitive deficits and thus can live fuller, happier lives."
A key stage in this project is market research -- that is, interviewing and working with HIV-positive volunteers to gather feedback on the program and refine it for treatment of HAND. Interested in volunteering? The first step is completing a 21-question screening survey that will help the PositScience research team determine your eligibility to participate. Based on your experiences with attention and memory and your use of computer technology, the researchers may contact you for a telephone interview and, ultimately, a test run of their brain-training program.
Check out the survey here, and visit PositScience online to learn more about their software and register to try out a free brain-training exercise.

Walter Koenig as Captain Pavel Chekov
Walter Koenig reprises his role as Pavel Chekov from the Original Series. Walter Koenig â actor, director, screenwriter, novelist, acting professor, and comic book creator â was born in Manhattan in 1936 to Lithuanian Russian Jewish parents.
Bitten by the acting bug early in his youth, Koenig studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York where he worked with fellow students James Caan, Elizabeth Ashley, and Dabney Coleman. His stage career spans 30 years and includes stops in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and many other cities. He appeared in many plays and television shows of the late 1950s and early 1960s, including the Mr. Novak series, and even produced and wrote his own feature film in 1967, "I Wish I May."
In 1967 he landed the role of Ensign Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek series.

New Philosophy Course
A new philosophy course fea-turing
Augustine and Kierkegaard
will be offered in the winter quar-ter,
Dr. Clarence Bass has an-nounced.
The new course will be
open to any upper division student
subject to the instructor's ap-proval.
This offering will be a part of
the senior philosophy sequence
which includes Contemporary Phil-osophy,
Kant, and Thomas Aqui-nas.
The teaching of Kant, sched-uled
for winter quarter, will be in-cluded
in the spring quarter with
Thomas Aquinas.
"I felt since most of our stu-dents
do not plan on graduate
work in philosophy, they would
not profit by going into so much
detail on Kant," explained Dr.
Bass, who initiated the change.
"By studying Augustine and Kier-kegaard,
they will gain an under-standing

theology and of contemporary

Faculty, Course
Changes Announced
New faces will appear in the ranks of the faculty, as well as new
courses in the curriculum, winter quarter.
Robert Sandin will be teaching the Twentieth Century Europe his-tory
course winter and spring quarters to permit Mr. Fagerstrom more
time to study the college curriculum. Mr. Sandin is a Bethel college and
seminary graduate and is now working on his doctorate at the University
of Minnesota.
Community health is a new course being offered winter quarter this
year. It will be taught by Joy Philips, former missionary of the Baptist
General conference to the North Bank of Assam, India. She received her
R. N. from Mounds-Midway School of Nursing and her B. S. from the
University of Minnesota, where she is now majoring in psychiatric nurs-ing.
This course, a requirement for all persons entering education, deals
with public and family health problems.
Human physiology, a course offered only when sufficient students
register, will be offered winter quarter. This course, dealing with the
functions of the human body, will be taught by either a faculty member
or a graduate student from the University of Minnesota.

Why Keep It A Secret?
Recently the CLARION asked for a list of the tentative chapel
speakers so that we could publicize the persons who were coming.
The answer came back that it was the "policy" of the chapel plan-ning
committee not to give out information of this kind. The main
reason for this it seems is that students will tend to pick the chapels
they want to attend. (?) Perhaps this is not the only reason. If so,
we would surely appreciate further explanation.
On the other hand, if this is the only reason, it's pretty uncon-vincing.
The student should have a right to choose chapels, just as
he has free choice in going to chapel at all. In fact, it is downright
insulting to an intelligent Christian who wants to know wheter he
should come expecting to hear a visiting evangelist, a faculty mem-ber,
devotional readings, a gospel team, one of the students' organi-zations
"in action," or to take part in a prayer meeting, testimony
meeting, or singspiration and so on.
There is the argument that everyone will choose the good
chapels and forsake the not-so-good chapels. Tut,
tut, that argument is more harm than help. Fault finding is more
likely to result when one comes expecting anything and everything
but accepting little of nothing.
It has been the view of the CLARION that the chapel hour is
one of devotion. We still maintain this view. What we are trying to
say is that chapel has more meaning when we can have some fore-knowledge
of what's to come in the mid-morning breath of prayer
and worship. If nothing more, announcing chapel for a week in
advance could be tried as an experiment or the speaker (or pro-gram)
could be posted on the bulletin board each day.
We all like secrets but it is mighty wearisome playing "button,
button, who's got the button" every morning about 9:45
What Th' Blazes!
Many Bethelites were concerned, a few angry, and an even smaller
number amused by the premature lightings of the Homecoming bonfire
a couple weeks back. To say that it was all in fun would not excuse
the practical jokery. Rather, the firebugs should have stayed around
and got another "laugh" watching Eric and the Homecoming committee
scrounging around for material for rebuilding the first fire while the
rest of the campus was asleep. Then, not satisfied with one showing of
childish bravado, the firebugs razed the second heap.

"De (lott Smart-tam
(Reprinted from the Christian Century, August 30, 1955)
"A certain Freshman went from home to college and she fell
among critics who said that she had no style, that her manners
were awkward, and that she had an unattractive personality. Then
they stripped her of her self-confidence, her enthusiasm, and her
courage, and departed, leaving her hurt, lonely, and half dead.
"And when the Seniors saw it, they were amused, saying,
`What a good job the Sophomores are doing on the Freshman' ;
and they passed by on the other side.
"In like manner the Juniors also, when they saw it, smiled
and said, 'Yea, verily, for she hath not the making of a good sor-ority
girl' ; and they passed by on the other side.
"But a certain special student, as she went about, came where
the Freshman was, and when she saw the Freshman she was moved
with compassion, and came to her and bound up her wounds, pour-ing
in sympathy and understanding ; and she took the Freshman
to her room and set her on her feet again, and brought her into
her own circle, and was a friend to her.
"Which of these, thinkest thou, proved a neighbor to her that
fell among the critics ? Go and do thou likewise!"
From Sweden To Bethel
Except for World War II, Astrid Wahlberg, freshman, might still
be living on a small island in the Baltic instead of enjoying the life of
a student at Bethel.
"Ozzie," as she is better known, prefers not to emphasize early
childhood experiences. It was her great-grandparents who moved to the
Swedish-held island near Estonia on which she was born. In the early
war period the little island changed hands rapidly from Sweden to
Russia and finally to Germany. In 1943, when she was eight, she and
her parents escaped by boat to Stockholm.
Swedish schools ?—Much stricter and harder according to "Ozzie,"
who went through grammar school and part of high school in Stock-holm.
An example of this, she says, is the greater formality between
teachers and students there. "Ozzie's" Christian life began in Stock-holm,
too, when she was twelve. She regularly attended a Baptist
church although she was nominally Lutheran. One of the differences
she found in coming to Chicago was more Christian young people.
Becoming dissatisfied with life in Sweden, "Ozzie's" father brought
his family to the States in January, 1953. The only English "Ozzie"
knew when she came to Chicago was the "British English" she had
learned to read in school.
"The first half year I didn't talk very much," she admitted. "Every-body
was teasing me." She felt it took about a year before she was really
at home. Now she is thoroughly Americanized and is not interested in
going back to Sweden except to visit.
Bethel-wise, "not enough social life" says "Ozzie," who would like
to see more planned social activities for all students on campus. In gen-eral,
however, she is well-satisfied with Bethel. According to her a col-lege
like this, with a Christian emphasis, doesn't exist in Sweden.
Zetteta to Elie Ederen
To the Editors:
The Victory committee of the
United Faculty gladly accepts the
challenge to a basketball game
with the CLARION.
The sub-committee in charge of
rules recommended the following
changes in present rules, and these
were approved by the Victory
committee: "1. The quarters shall
not be longer than five minutes
and there will be four quarters to
the whole, 2. The 1953-54 rules for
the three-second zone shall apply."
The same sub-committee also
passed the following resolution,
which has received Victory com-mittee
approval: "Be it resolved
that the Clarion team be composed
of actual Clarion staff, unlike for-mer
years when so-called "re-porters"
and "photographers" were
added to the staff with unseemly
haste shortly before the contest."
It was regretted that attention
had to be called to this matter
by the resolution, but the faculty
standards are such that it can ill
afford to encounter this sort of
regrettable "packing" again.

A college student is one who
enters his alma mater as a
freshman dressed in green, and
emerges as a senior dressed in
black. The intermediate pro-cess
of decay is known as a col-lege
from the Augustana college
(Rock Island, Ill. )0BSERVER:
We prefer to worry about Ber-muda
shorts. There are undoubt-edly
those who are worrying about
the Republican party's chances
with Eisenhower sick; the disin-tegration
of the British Empire;
or still more likely, the World
Series. Our problem is more ab-breviated.
The question of should girls (or
boys, or for that matter—animate
objects) wear Bermuda shorts has
been batted around campuses for
almost a year now. The latest out-break
of discussion comes from
Wheaton college where the Whea-ton
RECORD, a paper that sel-dom
fails to amuse, conducted a
"Pro-Con" column on the subject.
Wheaton has forbidden girls to
wear their Bermudas downtown or
at picnics, etc.
One Art Kinsler, who is the
"con-man" in this case says,
"Scripture gives injunctions that
`the woman shall not wear that
which pertains unto a man.' (Deut.
22:5). To be perfectly blunt, a
girl's legs can be a stumbling
block just as much as anything
listed in the pledge."
.. Watch your terminology, son.
Girls "should realize that the
boys like to think of girls as being
femininely different — not copies
of men, especially of little boys in
knee pants."
We can tell a little boy in
knee pants from a girl in Ber-mudas
nine times out of ten.
"One of the tragedies of modern
times is the breakdown of the
family. A prime cause is the dis-satisfaction
of women with their
traditional place. Today's woman
should realize that happiness lies
in the traditions of the past, not
in present disillusionments or fu-ture
Anyone for bound feet?
A girl, Lee Moramarco, takes
the "pro" side of the argument.
". . a coed who abstains from
wearing Bermuda shorts is abnor-mal.
Apart from the moral facet,
Bermuda shorts are practical.
They are in good taste at picnics.
They are very sensible for the
rough and tumble games at many
of our class parties."
What kind of parties ?
"Bermuda shorts are the trade-mark
of coeds throughout the
country. The townsfolk would not
think twice if they saw the Whea-ton
girls in Bermudas. They might
even take a little pride in the typi-calness
of their college town. In
fact, some of them might realize
that the 'cloister on the hill' is
really a college."
As for the OBSERVER'S opin-
Yes, There's Room For Study!
Quietly I tip-toed down the hall to room three in the college build-ing.
Since the teachers suggested study here I wanted to see how many
students were taking advantage of it but I didn't want to disturb them.
I thought it was awfully quiet but as I approached the door—surprise-the
lights weren't even on. Not many people were studying here I
Next I decided to try the coffee shop and lounge. Nary a soul was
to be found in the coffee shop but the lights were all ablaze in the
lounge. Aha! At last I would find them. Still walking quietly I got in
far enough to see that no one was on the end. Perhaps in the other
corner there would be someone and I looked hopefully around the cor-ner.
I was disappointed again. The lights were on inviting study at
Why let this electricity go to waste ? The library gets pretty full
and not so quiet at times and here are three convenient places to study.
Not that everyone should pile into the lounge but it seems that the
sudents could be distributed a little more to offer better study conditions
to everyone.
The same thing happened
elsewhere on college campus-es.
At Valparaiso university,
Valparaiso, Indiana, on the
night before the celebrations,
arsonists set off the 59-foot

Bill and Howie
Center Howie Rekstad and guard
Bill Conrad were chosen co-cap-tains
of this year's basketball
Howie has been one of the
main offensive threats for the
past two years, scoring main-ly
on hooks and jump shots.
His ball handling ability is
very good and his excellent
faking gives him many layups.
Last year he was in a slump
when Coach Peterson tried him
at forward position where he was
ineffective. When he was moved
back to the hole, he poured 41
points in in the next contest. This
year Howie has played center ex-clusively
and that is where he
probably will stay.
Bill's co-ordination a n d
dribbling have made him
a very interesting player to
watch. His set shot and a one

But regardless how the faculty
is preparing, the Clarion promises
to keep the score down.
Bethel's 1955 basketball team
opens the season Wednesday, No-vember
23, at Concordia in the
first game of a four game road
trip. Traveling over the Thanks-giving
weekend, the team will play
at Itasca on Friday, November 25;
Bemidji on Saturday, November
26; and Wahpeton on Monday, No-vember
28. The first home game
will be against Northland on Sat-urday,
December 3.
This year's squad is still un-tested
as only Rekstad, Conrad,
and Almeroth have had extensive
service with the Royals.
Of the new players on the club,
Terry Bottenfield, Mark Ryberg,
and Don Knoner have been most
impressive. Terry's best assets are
his jumpshot and general ball han-dling
ability which fit him best
for a guard position. Mark, a
center in high school, has shifted
to a forward. He is very quick for
a 6' 4" player and his work a-round
the board has caused Coach
Peterson to build his team's play
around the double post. Don Kno-ner
is probably the best driver on
the club and thrives on a fast
break type of play.
Conrad (Mr. Outside), Rekstad
(Mr. Inside), Smith, and Almeroth
have been scoring well. Jim has
developed a good jump shot which
may earn him a starting position.
Other members of the club in-clude:
Linden Johnson, Paul Lar-son,
Ron Eckert, Dale Larson and
John Cedar.
The team has been seriously
hampered by the loss of four key
players. Burleson, a starter for
two years is transferring to the
University of Minnesota, Dick Ab-rahamson
and Don Redin are leav-ing
school and Bib Singleton's
study schedule requires all his
time. The loss of these players, of
course, is serious, but the team
still looks superior to last year's.
B-Squad Joins League
The Bethel "B" basketball squad
has joined a league which includes
the University of Minnesota farm
school, Northwestern "B" squad,
Minnesota School of Business,
Chiropractor's School, Mt. Olivet
Lutheran Church, and Bethel. Mr.
Healy is coach of the Bethel team.
The first game will be with the
farm school on Dec. 1 here.
All the games except the first
one will be preliminary contests,
on a home and away schedule.
This league has been in opera-tion
before. There will be a play-off
at the end of the season.

It's all over. the string's gone; the tin lid is too. Five off-campus
girls are confined to their rooms without communication. Also without
You see, Bethel girls get drastically hungry while studying within
the confines of their rooms. Thus, in sharing food with one's friends, a
system for conveying the food from one house to the house next door
presents a problem. This problem was solved by five ingenious misses,
namely Carol Engholm, Marilyn Ogren, Meme Olander, Shirley Ander-son,
and Retha Creech.
The sturdy nylon string was attached to a tin lid in one house and
to a hairbrush in the house next door. It was a good little string. A tug
on it aroused one's friends sooner than any telephone. It withstood many
tugs. The little string conveyed boxes of cookies so nicely. Yes, it with-stood
the weight of many cookies.
The little string could withstand anything, they thought. But there
was one thing it could not withstand, and that one thing the girls over-looked.
Yes, the landlady only tugged at the string once, and it was
seen no more.

London Society part 01
Composer: Lester, J H
Medium: Lithograph
Date: 1877
It is very difficult not to make judgements when discussing the effect songs such as this had on audiences. The lyrics are heavy with sarcasm and seem to be taking a political stance on the nature of justice in 19th Century Britain. Britain is supposed to be a '...free and happy land...' however, '... the scales are weighted in favour of the rich...' It seems that whilst the rich may buy their way out of trouble, the poor, who are forced to turn to crime to survive, are judged harshly and treated appallingly.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday got another earful from area residents about the newly revised town plan, specifically about whether the document should include language limiting retail store size to 50,000 square feet.
The planning commission has recommended such language to mirror a 50,000-square-foot cap that has been included in Middlebury's zoning ordinances since 2005.
WEYBRIDGE — Longtime Weybridge Town Clerk and Treasurer Karen Brisson on Monday resigned from her job after admitting to the local selectboard that she had been embezzling town funds during the past several years, an amount that the town's attorney said could range between $100,000 and $150,000, according to preliminary estimates.
RIPTON — Like many Addison County residents, Ceredwyn Alexander spent some tense moments in front of her television during the past few weeks tracking the potential path of "super storm" Sandy and wondering if it would do to Vermont what Tropical Storm Irene did to the state last year.
VERGENNES — At 6 p.m. on Nov. 6, one week after Superstorm Sandy devastated long stretches of the Eastern seaboard, a convoy of seven Vermont ambulance crews left the Green Mountain State bound for New Jersey.
The convoy, which included personnel from Vergennes Area Rescue Squad (VARS), responded to a call made in anticipation of a second storm, which on Nov. 7 hit stretches of coast already crippled by the hurricane with more wind, rain and snow.
Some towns in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts lost power for a second time.

RIPTON — Joan and Chris Bullock thought they had bid adieu to the Chipman Inn in 1986 following a successful, 8-year stint owning and operating the historic lodging facility off Route 125 in Ripton. They had a nice run, but the long hours of cooking and cleaning had taken their toll.
Joan Bullock recalled often serving "last call" at the inn's small pouring station in the wee hours, then grabbing a few hours of sleep before descending the stairs to the kitchen by 6 a.m. to get breakfast ready for her lodgers.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Tuesday revealed a 0.6-acre North Main Street parcel that is the former home of Vergennes Auto Sales as their choice on which to build a new station for the city's police department.
Vergennes officials said they have discussed purchasing the land with its owner, but discussed details Tuesday only behind closed doors at the end of their open session.
BRISTOL — The results of a survey distributed by the Bristol Police Advisory Board outside the polls on Election Day indicate that a very slim majority of Bristol voters favor an expansion of the police district to a town-wide police force — just more than 50 percent.
Jim Quaglino, chair of the police advisory board, said that next steps would include the police department and selectboard looking into what the expansion would cost Bristol taxpayers.
MIDDLEBURY — Vermonters know that their communities have an enviable commitment to the local economy — but they may not know that an organization of highly successful volunteer business professionals is available right here in Addison County to help them realize growth in their business.

I wrote this article for another site and I truly think it's worth re-posting.
"Sick and tired of being sick and tired" is a universal lamentation of women everywhere. We often don our capes and will gladly take on the role of superwoman but at what cost to our own personal well- being? Weariness is likely a part of our DNA as we readily play the role of mother, wife, sister, lover setting our needs aside to our great personal detriment.
Depression is sometimes difficult to recognize in women because we often have so much on our plates that we rarely take a critical look at our symptoms in order to recognize just how deep the cracks beneath our well-hidden, silent crisis run.
What causes depression?
Depression is a complex disease and can be caused by a number of factors. The loss of a loved one, medications, or even certain illnesses can play a role in the manifestation of the disease. The important thing is to "be still" long enough to recognize a problem may be emerging.
Recognize the signs of depression
I had a friend who practically prayed that a recent visit to the doctor would not only result in the need for surgery, but a long recovery period. She saw nothing wrong with this as she was so tired from her daily routine she viewed surgery, followed by mandatory bed rest as an escape. Though it is normal to "feel a little blue" when you are facing health problems the need to escape from daily life could very well be the sign of something deeper. When I suggested to this friend she may actually be depressed, she fervently denied it and said she simply needed a vacation. My question to her was why not take one then?
Besides needing an escape from daily life, other signs of depression include:
- Weight gain, or increased appetite
- Weight loss or decreased appetite
- Fatigue or very little desire to engage in activities that once gave you pleasure
- A sense of worthlessness
- Withdrawing from friends and family
Seek help
Admitting that you have a problem is crucial to healing when you are suffering in silence. For many women, this bridge is the most difficult to cross because we see the need to ask for help as an admission of failure or a sign of weakness. This is particularly true of African-American women as the myth of the superwoman is so pervasive in our culture we have sadly begun to believe our own hype. Compound this super woman myth with our tendency to only seek spiritual help and many of us are left suffering from clinical depression that could clearly benefit from the right dose of medication. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer, but prayer combined with the medicine to treat your illness is what will lead to a greater since of well-being.
There is great power in being self aware and recognizing your need for help. Here are some additional resources to help you get back on a path to wholeness.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK- Who's your local Newsmaker of the Year?
Charlotte Self: "Tom Perriello because he won so unexpectedly."
Dale Sloan: "I'd say Al Groh because he's under fire, and I personally think he needs to be fired. It seems like everybody's mad he's still the [UVA] football coach."
Gerald Terrell: "I don't have one person, I have a group of people. It's all of the men who have chosen to support their children even though they do not live with them. They have chosen to take care of their children, rather than just discard them and leave them without."

Logan Temple Deaths
The Logan Temple is often looked at with enjoyment by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS); however, there was some sadness that went into the construction of the landmark building. The May 18th and May 25th, 1880 issues of the Herald Journal newspaper tell the story of two men who died on February 17, 1880 during construction.
These men were working in Logan Canyon when an avalanche approached them. William (Billy) King (see picture on the right) attempted to "get on the crest of the slide by standing on the backs of his team." Nephi Osterholdt attempted to get to the opposite side of the creek. Both men failed in their attempts and were crushed by the onslaught of heavy snow.
Their loss was sorely felt by family and friends alike after the tragedy. William King, father of the deceased, was nearly beside himself with grief. He is quoted as saying in an old Scottish drawl, "My son Billy's a guid boy, but he's got a cauld bed tae nicht." Large groups of women and girls gathered, despite the cold weather, at the brow of the hill, hoping to see the searchers returning with the bodies of the deceased out of the canyon. All of this sadness didn't deter the community from continuing in their efforts to finish the temple. It was dedicated on May 17, 1884 by John Taylor, president of the LDS church.

Congress Expands Meningitis Investigation
The outrage is also spreading. The House of Representatives said Friday it will be including health regulators in its investigation into the company responsible for an outbreak of fungal meningitis that has killed 14 and sickened 184 nationwide. The Massachusetts pharmacy board is being asked to turn over all records and reports regarding the New England Compounding Center, where tainted steroids have been traced to. Apparently, the FDA was aware of possible health risks within the company's production methods back in 2006, when the pharmacy was accused of infecting a man with another form of meningitis in a 2004 lawsuit.

This is yet another in a series of the Low-Key Hillclimbs Portola Valley Hills multi-climb day. We used GPS to time riders based on when they were interpolated to have crossed a series of "lines" (essentially passing through virtual pylons) in the correct direction. Between certain lines there was a time budget which was designed to be easy to meet, as long as you didn't dally. The lines were designed to be wide enough so all riders who rode the course would be credited with crossing all of the lines, even in the presence of GPS errors.
It all worked so well in testing. But in practice, on "game day", the conclusions from testing proved optimistic.
First I'll look at time budgets. I had provided a lot of slack in these, and I needed it. There's two major reasons for this. One is that the test riders were mostly solo. On the other hand the "event" riders tended to ride in groups. With group rides the faster riders would wait at the top of climbs for slower riders. This added time to all but the slowest climbers in the group.
Another reason is the riders knew what their time budget was. Since they wanted to recover to produce a good result on the following climb, they likely rode at a slow enough pace to use a reasonably large fraction of the time budget.
Here's a plot shoing that: I plot the fraction of the time budgets taken by the testers for each checkpoint superposed on the fraction of time taken by the event-day riders. You can see the testers tend to fall at the lower range of the distributions. Indeed, at checkpoint 10 I had to increase the time limit from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.
Checkpoint 4 is Joaquin, which I neutralized by assigning a large time budget. Curiously the time budget I was initially most worried about, the long grind to checkpoint 3, was the least issue. The long spin to Summit Spring was an issue for one rider who stopped for around 16 minutes in addition to taking a longer than recommended path. I hadn't thought that transfer was going to be an issue.
Then I looked at the line crossings. I earlier showed that with my initial line definitions the test riders used only 1/3 of the total line width. Well, that turned out to be optimistic. In the actual event I had to considerably widen several lines, in particular on Golden Oak and on Summit Spring, but also at the top of Golden Oak East for one outlier activity. Here's a histogram of the line crossing parameters for the test riders (using the new lines) plotted along with the same statistics for the riders on Saturday.
The statistics are shown in the legend. The standard deviation for ride-day was substantially larger than the standard deviation for the test riders. Standard deviation represents the spread in points under the assumption points are normally distributed (characterized by a Gaussian probability function). However, the "ride day" curve deviates from a Gaussian shape. There are a significant number of non-normal outliers, with errors which extend considerably beyond the Gaussian core. The Gaussian portion itself is similar between the testers and the Saturday riders. The outliers are what are responsible for the increased standard deviation int he statistics.
The test should be whether a certain bike computer is responsible for a disproportionate fraction of the outliers. I wanted to test this but my first attempt at HTML scraping failed because of Strava's restriction of that information to clients who have logged in, and my Perl script did not log in. And it's not provided to via their API.
In any case, the message is clear: it's important to test with a broad range of testers. My testing, which led to the conclusion the course was robust, was optimistic.

Day (362) – Up My Spine
Posted on December 11, 2012
Ever since I was a teenager, I would put in my headphones and press play on a few songs that would give me this very human feeling running up my back…a shiver of goosebumps. The music is great, but that's not what does it for me. It's the sound of the crowd. The roar…the energy…the flow of emotion. I have always been a part of the crowd, but the dream is to be in front of the crowd. Keep dreaming big.
I have been invited to speak at the BIL conference on March 1, 2, 3 in Long Beach CA @ the Queen Mary. I can't tell you how excited I am about this…primarily because it launches me right into what I really really want to do, which is travel the country, even the world, and go speak. I will continue writing for the rest of my life because it has taught me things that I will never forget. It has made me who I am today and has created unbreakable links that cannot be removed from me. Incredible.
That feeling of a shiver up my spine will never be forgotten. It keeps me grounded. And isn't that important. In the midst of everything that is going on…I have this little Kerr jar full of sand from my favorite place in the world to fish, with a toothpick in it…with a little makeshift sign that says "Love. Passion. Never Quit." It reminds me to enjoy every single moment for what it is, but to stay walking on the sand that created me in the first place. I think where things go wrong for people is when they try to walk above the ground everyone else is on. So stay on the floor. It's where the magic happens.
Be unrealistic.
Realism is the most commonly traveled path to mediocrity. It was unrealistic to walk into a room and flip a switch, and light to come on…fortunately, Edison and Tesla didn't think so. It was unrealistic to bend a piece of metal and fly over an ocean…fortunately, the Wright brothers didn't think so. It was unrealistic to replace the horse as the common means of transportation…fortunately, Ford didn't think so.
If I had three pieces of advice to give anyone, its to find what you love, don't be afraid to swim upstream, and develop a sickeningly hard work ethic.
The last piece, is a piece that people often forget. Yes, when I was in college, I heard a lot of people talking about "Well Steve Jobs dropped out of school, why can't I?" I kept my answers to myself. It isn't because you don't know what you want to do, it is because you have close to 0 shot of actually working as hard as it takes to get to the point that the famous Outliers of our society have. I don't say that to shoot down your dreams…but standing amidst the potheads, permanently drunk, beer pong bros and the list goes on and on…its unlikely to prove me wrong. I was inspired by listening to the stories of my heroes, what it took for them to get there, and how hard they worked. I made the choice to stay in and work, to write and write and write. Not because I didn't think partying would be fun (I did indulge once in a while) but because I knew that putting in the work would pay off. Now I am looking at it.
We are the result of everything we have done in the past. Your body, your attitude, your soul. You are what you eat, you are what you think, you are what you believe. There is no other equation. Life will life you, but you have your life in your hands.

Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid: classic thats up there with Sergio Leone stuff for me.
Operation Enduring Freedom: America Fights Back. Great stuff actually narrated by Rummy himself, one of my personal heroes.
Howard the Duck: Never get sick of this
First Option: This is like game Counterstrike on film. I hate that game but this actually had some decent action scenes, dry plot though, how can Beast Cops be so much better from the same director?
Pee Wee's Playhouse : Really getting into this. Remember it when I was a kid in America so nostalgia value but ties into one my biggest loves, American comedy/SNL from the late `80s to the early `90s, with Phil Hartman in a recurring role. This is how kids shows should still be. Fat jokes, craft segments that are deliberately lame ("I stuck these pencils in a potato and now its an animal, thats how to be creative") and getting kids to scream when they hear a certain word. also, ice cream soup, sexual inuendo and tons of wacked out stop motion. Mekka Lekka Hi-Mekka Hiney Ho!

Kill List - shares a lot of similarities with the director's previous film, Down Terrace: both subvert typically American genres with a very British kitchen sink sensibility and both ultimately descend into farce. Kill List's descent is certainly the more interesting and entertaining of the two but it is not without its problems. The film builds an effective mood helped both by an excellent score and the gradual teasing of what is to come. Whilst it undoubtedly needs to lead somewhere I'm unconvinced the ending is quite deserved. Yes, it is surprising (even with the little hints dotted throughout) but it slips into being comical rather than unsettling. Perhaps this is deliberate, the film has a strong streak of black humour, but you never quite follow the character's descent into madness which strips the film of its potency.
That said the final twenty minutes are brilliantly shot and edited and the central characters are well realised. The violence is swift and hard hitting and it was a novel look into a world that is often portrayed very differently on screen. Ultimately though it felt like a movie full of memorable moments but one that was not quite the sum of its parts.
I think what might be most infuriating for some is that the film builds in such a way that you are conditioned to expect answers yet that is far from what you get. It also doesn't help that any interpretations don't seem to stand up to close scrutiny

act of valor - so bad ass and kicks the ass of the gay charlie sheen movie from the `90s I always hated. no inauthentic faggot all black ninja costumes to be seen, I love how much death the SWCC deals out on the first mission.
not as much as the did on a real narco mission there in south america in the `90s though.
To the doubters none of what was depicted was unrealistic. The SEALs recently rescued US hostages in Somalia, 17 dead captors, 2 free hostages and no SEAL casualties. Some green berets in Nam raided an NVA POW camp, the POWs had been moved a day earlier but the green berets killed over 200 NVA and suffered 1 twisted ankle during the raid with no air support.
one thing that was weird though was how many Call of Duty camera angles there were.

I just watched the Rum Diaries. What a piece of shit that was. They added all this useless shit that wasn't in the book the cock fighting, drug use, rolled two central characters into one and then changed the ending. Avoid.

watched my LD of Sonatine I brought back from Japan last night. Watched it on SBS as a kid but forgot how special it was.
But you know, if you know Kitano, every Kitano film is the same though, deadpan acting, everyone dies, hisaishi soundtrack and the main characters act like kids for a while.
Wouldn't have it any other way though. love those chinpira and yakuza types. to me they're like Japanese people that actually think for themselves and are pretty cool to me. even though I got into confrontations with some at times in place like Ueno if I was with a girl they considered pretty.
Sonatine has a great set of tits in it too. See it just for those imo

Thanks in advance!0
Greetings theomegaman. Here is the information that you are looking for. Honda is not currently providing any sort of lease support on the 2006 Element. As a result, if you were to lease one through Honda Finance right now, you would have to use its standard lease program. Honda Finance's current buy rate standard lease money factor for 36 month terms is .00293 for consumers who pay a security deposit and qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier. Its 36 month, 12,000 mile per year residual value for the 2006 Element EX 4WD is 56%. When negotiating your lease on this truck, make sure to take the $500 dealer cash that is currently available on it into account. It will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost for your truck.

brit527 Posts: 1Carman,
I'm looking at leasing either a Honda Pilot LX 2WD or Element LX. The Pilot currently has a subsized lease rate of 2.3%, but I don't know what the residual value is. Also, I haven't found a lease rate or residual value for the Element. Do you happen to have those figures? Your help is greatly appreciated!0
Hi brit527. These trucks' lease programs vary depending upon how long you lease them for and what mileage allowance you need. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Honda Pilot LX 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are .00097 and 53%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2007 Element LX 2WD are .00280 and 55%.

morrowsaz Posts: 1I need some help and advice ASAP please! I am shopping for a '07 Element EX AWD and am confused on the leasing data. What I've been quoted from a local dealer is a 36/12000 lease for $22000 with a money factor of .0029 and 59% residual. Zero down translates to their payment of $400. This seems very high to me -can you shed some light on this? What should a reasonable lease payment be for this Element? :confuse:0
greenbelt Posts: 55The 3 year lease on our Element expires in February. Honda's options at the end of lease are very flexible: buy, turn-in, or re-lease.
We decided to have the Element inspected to see if we have any major issues (none expected) so that we could factor that into our thinking.
We called Honda Finance to schedule the inspection. Honda Finance contracts this out to an outfit named SGS Automotive (the worlds largest inspection company based in Geneva Switzerland and here in he US in NJ).
Surprisingly SGS only offers you a 4 - 5 hour window for the inspection at your home or office on only one day during the week. You can't get it inspected back at the original dealership, nor can you go somewhere else to meet an inspector at an appointed time. So I had to take a slot on a Thursday afternoon 12 - 5.
This is a very un-customer friendly system particularly since the inspection lasts 30 mutes or less (SGS told me they do 15 per day). I tried to get SGS to schedule it at my dealer and could only get a Tuesday morning 8 - 12.
There was nothing in any of the material from Honda or from our dealer, Boch Honda in Norwood, MA that indicated that the inspection required you to sit around for 4 - 5 hours waiting for someone to come do 30 minutes of walk around a car class work.
This is a very aggravating end to an otherwise very nice automotive experience.0
Hi CarMan.....I'm back...8 months after my initial Honda Element Leasing query. Only 9 posts on this board asking questions about leasing an Element? I guess everybody's buying, nobody's leasing. Well to my point, the '07 EX 2wd is on the table to lease for my wife. we'd like to move on it within 2 weeks. I'm looking at
3 / 15,000 mile Lease
Tier 1 credit
What can you tell me about money factor and residuals on these.
Thanks in advance.....
The Omegaman0
Welcome back Omegaman. Yeah the Element lease discussion doesn't get nearly as much traffic as some of the other Honda leasing discussions do. I guess that consumers aren't all that interested in leasing it. It sells a lot fewer Elements than it does other models. Honda only sold 3,741 Elements in March, versus 36,506 Accords, 29,721 Civics, 19,658 CR-Vs, 14,339 Pilots...you get the idea.
Honda is not currently providing any lease support on the 2007 Element. As a result, if you were to lease one through Honda Finance right now, you would have to use its standard lease program. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Element EX 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are .00280 and 53%, respectively for consumers who pay a security deposit at lease signing and qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier.
Even though Honda is not providing any lease support on the '07 Element this month, you're in luck because for April it introduced a new $500 dealer cash incentive on it. Make sure to take this cash into account when negotiating your truck's selling price.
Prices Paid Forum0
We just(4/26/07) leased a 2007 2WD EX Element with only a cargo cover and cargo net as options. It comes pretty well equipped.
We paid $464 down/tags/first month with a $264 monthly payment on a 36 month 12k mile/year lease. Residual is $12,267
We are participating in a program with Sandals Resorts who "wrapped" our Element for travel advertising.
Congratulation on your new truck, Travelagent. Thanks for taking the time to share the details of your lease with everyone. The fact that you are wrapping your truck with advertising for Sandals is very interesting. If you don't mind me asking, how does the program work?
Prices Paid Forum0
Sandals Resorts will pay to have certain vehicles "wrapped" in advertising to promote their resorts and my travel agency. I choose the Honda Element.
After 3 years, Sandals will also contribute to paying the residual. In the meantime, it should increase sales for both of us.
It is very attractive and I've fielded questions everywhere I've gone so far.

Very interesting, travelagent. Thanks for the info.

bdwelle Posts: 6I just leased a 2008 EX AWD in the SF Bay Area. I paid $369 over invoice + $640 lease acquistion + doc fees, 36 mo lease @ 0.00300 money factor (7.20%) w/ residual calculated at 61% (wow!). I could have gotten invoice but was feeling nice (i.e. like a sucker). Also maybe could have gotten a bit lower for an 2007, but check that residual % - that's increased for the 2008's vs 2007's.

I am being told by a salesperson that he cannot offer dealer cash on a lease, however, I see that in this forum you are advising to go after that cash with a lease. Is the sales person trying to snowball me? I offered $21,600 but he will only give me this price on a purchase, otherwise it will be $1,000 more to lease (the dealer cash amount).
He also said that the $499 "Customer Service fee" is not negotiable. I understand why they have the fee in place but do you think if they want the sale bad enough that they would discount or forgive this fee?
One last item - I have offered $21,600 for the '08 SC. I found out this is about $341 more than Consumer Reports says is the "bottom dollar price" should I beat up the sales guy a little more over $349 or is $21,600 a good price?
Thanks for your time.0
Hi darthnascar. In the past when Honda was not offering a special lease money factor on the Element, one could used the dealer cash to reduce the capitalized cost of their lease. However, Honda has since introduced lease support on the 2008 Element. This lease support is not compatible with the dealer cash that Honda is currently providing on this model.
So the dealer was telling the truth about the dealer cash, however the $499 "customer service fee" is another matter. It is nothing more than a way for the dealer to add hidden profit to your deal. Make sure to look at it as part of your Element's selling price. If you feel as though the price that you are being offered on the element that you want, including the $499 fee is too high, comparison shop with a few other dealers in your area and see if you can get a lower total price for the truck that you want.
I am personally not all that familiar with what the market is like for the Honda Element right now. If I was trying to lease one, I personally would offer $500 over dealer invoice including the $499 "customer service fee" and see what happens. The dealer invoice price of a 2008 Element SC with an automatic transmission is $22,559. $500 over this is $23,059 including the $499 fee.

I got the element for $23,083 including the fee so I got pretty darn close to your recommendation
Thanks for your great help Car man.0
That's great, darthnascar. Congratulations on getting a good deal on your new truck. Enjoy .

azbriank Posts: 10Any new Element Lease info for May/June?0
Hi azbriank. Honda still is not providing any lease support on the 2008 Element in June. If you were to lease one through Honda Finance right now for 36 months, you would have to use its buy rate lease money factor of .00250 (for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing).
Even though it is not offering a special money factor on this truck, Honda is providing dealer cash on it (specifically $1,000 on the LX + EX and $1,500 on the SC) that may be used to reduce the capitalized cost of leased vehicles.

cscds Posts: 11Car_man, Hi!
Are these dealer cash incentives still available for Sep 08 for a 08 Honda Element EX/LX 4WD? Debating between leasing and financing.
NJ Quote for EX 4WD Automatic Transmission $20,566
NJ Quote for LX 4WD Automatic Transmission $18,448
NY Quote for EX 4WD Automatic Transmission $20,995
NY Quote for LX 4WD Automatic Transmission $19,795
I live in NY and have received these internet discounted above prices. My question is about these additional fees are they valid?
Destination Fee $670
Documentation Fee $199 to $349
NJ Tire Tax $7.50
Cynthia Dell0
Hey Cynthia. Yep, Honda is still providing the same dealer cash on the 2008 Element. The destination fee is legit. It is essentially part of vehicles' prices and every consumer has to pay it. The tire tax is legit as well. The doc fee is a different story though. While most dealers charge consumers some sort of doc fee, it really isn't much more than a way for them to add additional profit to deals. Make sure to look at the prices that you were quoted for the Element that you want, including the doc fee. If you believe that the total price that you were given is more than you would be able to get this truck for elsewhere, then shop around.
If I was in the market for an '08 Element, I personally would shoot for a selling price of slightly over dealer invoice, including the doc fee and have the dealer subtract the dealer cash from that. For additional feedback on Element pricing, try hopping on over to the "Honda Element Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion.

joepo Posts: 10Hi, Car_man - can you please provide the Dec lease rates on a 2010 Element EX 2WD with MSRP $23,345 at 12K miles, 36 months. Is Honda providing any lease support?
My lease will be up shortly and I am interested in buying my Element. I think I got a good deal when I leased it, but, figured if I can improve it, I would try. I received a letter from Honda saying they don't negotiate the purchase price when the lease ends. Is that true? I figured everything is negotiable.0

WHITCOMB v. COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIANA(1972)
The motion of petitioners, Edgar D. Whitcomb et al., for an emergency stay presented to Mr. Justice REHNQUIST, and by him referred to the Court, is denied as moot. The cross motion of respondents, Communist [409 U.S. 806 , 807] Party of Indiana et al., to petition for a mandate to enforce the prior order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana is also denied.
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS would treat the Communist Party's motion as a jurisdictional statement and postpone the question of jurisdiction to the hearing of the case on the merits.

It's a statistic that's difficult to digest: the average person wastes $2,400 worth of food per year which is about $50 per week. Families in our region typically throw out one third of the food they buy.
That's not your fault; food does not often stay fresh or hold up well until a promised expiration date. You can now change that and save some serious cash.
Think of some of the items you have in your pantry. From cereal, to cashews, gourmet cookies, baguette, biscotti or a beautiful piece of banana cake, those costs add up fast. Now think about all the containers and plastic bags you buy to extend the life of that food. They're not often effective and that food still goes bad quickly.
You can now change that with one of the coolest contraptions I've tested: a food vacuum sealer system now at under $40. It also doubles as a food storage system!
Used by chefs and in professional kitchens across the country, the Vestia vacuum sealing technology keeps food fresher up to five times longer than regular plastic storage containers. The automatic re-pressurization feature seals in freshness and acts as a child-proofing mechanism for storing medications or goods.
It gets even better. The same containers that vacuum seal in seconds are also great for marinades. Put a piece of chicken or pork and into a Vestia container with your favorite spices and sauce. You can then vacuum seal the freshness with a whole new level of flavor.
Click the play button to see the system in action in my home and a professional kitchen. Other perks include:
- Seven-piece (three container) set can accommodate all different types of food and portion sizes
- Sealing system works with each different container and operates in seconds
- System can double as child-proof storage solution for medications
- Month date tracker on each container lets you set your own freshness dates
- Easy to clear, simple to operate, lowest-recorded price today

Watch This Kid's Priceless Reaction to His Christmas Present
The holiday season is usually a momentous time for laughs, cheers and smiles, but this kid's reaction, while still happy, was a little different. He might not have been too psyched over that initial gift, appearing a bit apathetic, but the second one surely got to him, resulting in a response no one expected -- especially the parents.
We'd have to agree with Dad, "I've never seen a little boy do that before!"

Re: Mutant Hunt - RPG
Skyler tried not to laugh at Flip's reaction. It was quite obvious that he wasn't used to such a level of flirtation. She turned to look at Adrian, "Amateur,†she whispered with a grin as she indicated to Flip with a slight tilt of her head.
Skyler turned her attention to Zayne, "Why don't you have a ginger beer instead?†She looked pointedly at the waitress who quickly returned with a ginger beer.
Zayne shrugged and started to sip at the beverage.
Skyler picked up her menu and finally decided on something to eat, "I'll have a chicken schnitzel roll with gravy. Oh and a coke too.â€Â
"What about your figure?†Adrian teased knowing full well that she could shift into any shape she wanted to.
"I'll grow up rather than out,†Skyler said in response. "Besides I had a pretty hard work out back there. I could use the energy.†She didn't lie, as changing shape did take a lot of energy and Skyler tended to eat to recharge.
"So what are you having, handsome?†she asked Flip and held back a grin as he blushed.
It was like thousands of voices cried out for a sequel and were suddenly silenced...
