Bethel was given unqualified
accreditation by the North Central
association Friday, April 24.
With North Central association
accreditation Bethel receives na-tional
recognition as a standard
four year liberal arts college.
Bethel now possesses indepen-dent
academic status; formerly the
college was dependent on the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, Clifford Lar-son,
dean of the college, said.
Regional accreditation, which is
granted by the North Central as-sociation
in this area, is "essential
because it represents full standard
recognition and places Bethel on
the level with other schools in the
United States," Dr. Larson said.
Bethel will be eligible to re-ceive
more in grants from business

former director of the Buda-pest

Also assisting the male chorus
will be the brass choir.
Tickets for the concert may be
purchased from any choir or chorus
member. Price of the tickets is $1
for adults, 75 cents for college stu-dents,
and 50 cents for high school
and junior high students. Bethel
students receive a reduced rate of
25 cents, and these tickets may be
purchased from members of the re-ligious
Transportation is being provided

The male chorus, under the dir-ection
of Mr. Sheldon Fardig, has
recently taken concert tours in the
mid-west, including a series in the
Chicago area last weekend. Other
appearances have been on televis-ion,
at the University of Minne-sota,
and in Twin City churches.
The religious council is working
with the male chorus in providing
reduced rates for students and
transportation to the auditorium.
Choral groups will be featured
at the annual spring banquets, be-ginning
at 7:30 p.m. on Sat., May
"Serenade to Spring" will be the
theme carried out at the fresh-man
- sophomore banquet by the
Madrigals, a Minneapolis vocal
group, and Hiram Titus, a ten-year-
old pianist.
A group of Negro singers, the
Cantorians, will bring a program
of Negro spirituals and semi-classi-cal
music at the junior-senior ban-and
industry, some of which were
previously not possible. Friday,
May 1, Bethel was admitted to
the Minnesota Private College
council. This council has a fund to
which business and industry con-tribute
and from which Bethel will
receive aid.
Faculty members and students
will be able to obtain more research
grants and other special grants
and scholarships.
Students will be able to transfer
credit to other colleges and uni-versities
and enter graduate school
more easily, although they have
had surprisingly little trouble do-ing
either up to now, Dr. Larson
Accreditation means rec-ognition
of a "program of sev-eral
years standing and not of re-cent
changes made for the purpose
of gaining accreditation," Dr. Lar-son
For five years a great variety
and number of studies have been
made of all phases of college opera-tion
— curriculum, objectives, in-struction,
student personnel ser-vices,
finance, and many others in-cluding
student vocational inter-ests,
reasons for students not re-turning,
and student achievement
on national tests.
A special educational studies
committee has been working for
the past four years "to rethink
Bethel's total program," Dr. Lar-son
said. Provision was made to
bring in many outside consultants
to give advice. Many faculty sub-committees
worked under this com-mittee.
The result was a 270 page report
bringing together analyses of
every phase of the college program.
Dr. Larson was editor of this self-study
and chairman of the educa-tional
studies committee.
This self-survey report became
Bethel's application for regional
accreditation which was formally
made on July 1, 1958.
After application several
members of the commission of col-leges
and universities read and ap-proved
the self-survey. Permission
was then given for Bethel to be
examined. A 100 page questionaire
was filled out by the college to
assist with standard data.
On Jan. 26 and 27 Bethel was
visited by the official examiners:
Dr. Edward F. Potthoff, director
of the bureau of institutional re-search
at the University of Illin-ois,
and Dr. James R. Jordan, dir-ector
of the bureau of university
relations at the University of Iowa.
These examiners checked on the
validity of the self-study and also
assessed subjective factors such as
academic climate and student and
faculty relations.
quet. Ronn Veenker, college junior,
will also present piano entertain-ment.
The Centennial room of the
Normandy hotel and the banquet
room of Boulevard Twins, both in
Minneapolis, will house the F-S and

Tickets will be sold in the cof-fee
shop until Thursday, May 14.
All tickets must be bought by this
time, according to Carl Linden,
sophomore class president.

People celebrate things in a variety of ways.
Recently Clifford Larson, dean of Bethel college, an-nounced
during a chapel service that this school
had been recognized by the North Central accredit-ing
association. His announcement brought forth a
spontaneous round of applause.
This is quite a contrast to the tales that spread
across the land of some other newly-accredited col-leges.
Few of these tales are documented, but
rumor claims that many demonstrations have reach-ed
dimensions comparable to a recess from aca-demic
labor to allow time for a downtown parade
and the burning of the library.
Of course, violent demonstration isn't neces-sarily
a sign of sincere joy in achievement, any
more than conservative applause indicates a lack
of enthusiasm.
Not only are there various types of demonstra-tions,
but there are varying reasons for demonstra-tion.
At Bethel accreditation is perhaps, not a for-tunate
occurance, but, as President Lundquist sug-gests,
a deserved, maybe overdue, recognition.
Accreditation means that Bethel college students
attend a college academically ranked by the largest
accrediting association in the country. This rank is
quite important. It is so important that its absence
has been a factor in decisions of persons not to
attend Bethel.
This college is no longer, if it ever was, only
an armory at which Christians gird themselves
against the "atheism of the heartless state uni-versity."
It is an institution of higher learning
dedicated to scholarship designed for the intellectual
furtherance of that group of people who embrace
It is very encouraging to hear that Bethel col-lege,
as viewed by investigators of the North Cen-tral
group, has its "educational task . . . clearly
defined, it is fully accepted by the faculty, and it
serves as a sound basis for determining activities.
The purposes . . . are appropriate for its clientele,
and the admissions requirements . . . are clearly in
line with them."
Surely Bethel college is close to the ideal church
related, liberal arts college.

One Hundred Years Ago, Ten
Years Ago, And The Present
"Twelve Angry Men" Are
Consistent, Imaginative
Bernard Ramm:
"God Is Lord,
Then Creator"
by Carol Christensen
The Biblical concept of creation
is a theological statement and not
a scientific description, said Dr.
Bernard Ramm at the recent Dar-winian
convocations here.
Because of this the Genesis ac-count
should not be taken as a
literal pictorial statement, ex-plained
Dr. Ramm, chairman of the
graduate department of religion at
Baylor university and former
Bethel philosophy professor.
But the theological implications
of the Biblical account must be
retained, Dr. Ramm said. First God
must be Lord, then Creator.
God created from nothing. The
relation of Creator to creation pre-serves
the characteristics of God,
Dr' Ramm said.
In the Old Testament, God is
seen by Israel first as God of the
fathers—therefore God of redemp-tion
— and then as Creator, Dr.
Ramm continued.
The concept of God as Creator
kept Israel from idolatry, murder,
divorce, the fear of astronomical
bodies, and the fear of the invisi-ble,
Dr. Ramm said.
In the New Testament, the ori-gin
of all nature is in God. This
means that there is no reality
apart from God, Dr. Ramm ex-plained.
However, the view of God actu-ally
forming man of the dust and
breathing into his nostrils the
breath of life attributes hands and
lungs to a Spirit, Dr. Ramm said.
These are anthropomorphic
terms used to show God to man
in language he can understand.
This view of creation is irrele-vant
to the concept of God as Crea-tor,
Dr. Ramm said.
The duty of the Christian should
be only to point out the improper
extension of science, Dr. Ramm
This extension includes the use
of evolution to support anti-Chris-tian
philosophy and as an argu-ment
against orthodoxy.
The Christian should consider
the totality of biological science
at all times, Dr. Ramm concluded.
In all things he should be a scholar
and a gentleman.

Three perennial questions face
collegians in each quadrennium. In
four short years what vocation
should be selected, with whom
could life be shared in the miracle
of marriage, and can the will of
God be found ? Many collegians
display a restless attitude in quest
for an answer to vocation, mar-riage,
and Christian service.
In the search for a vocation,
monetary aims transfix the gaze
and lucrative disciplines rank

Mary Lou Wick, freshman, and
Richard Sorvig, sophomore, will
play the leads as Mary Todd and
Abraham Lincoln, respectively, in
Love is Eternal, to be presented on

The play is based on the novel
of the same title by Irving Stone
and is dramatized by Ruth Sergel.

Monogamy seems foreign to the
conduct of a few. Rather than a
balanced attitude toward scholastic
work, three young hedonists im-plicitly
deny a high moral stan-dard.
In the selection of a mate
more interest is shown in the pur-suit
than in criteria of virtue, kind-ness,
character and love.
The pursuit of pleasure and the
pleasure of pursuit loom larger
than service for God.
To find peace in a restless world,
to live a life of discipline rather
than dissolution, the three vows of
St. Francis are helpful. Let each
round the romance of Abraham
Lincoln and Mary Todd. An under-lying
plan of slavery is inter-mingled
with the main plot.
Dr. Richard Curtis, associate pro-fessor
of speech, is directing the
production. Assistant directors are
Levina Kroeker, sophomore, and
Roy Brottlund, senior. The drama
workshop class and the drama club
are sponsoring the play.

It is somewhat difficult to give
real atmosphere to a basketball
palace, but it was accomplished
for the junior-senior class play.
The audience was closely seated
around what could be termed the
stage and was elevated above the
actors. This allowed the audience
to study the actors very closely and
opened the way for the impact of
the various characterizations.
This was a difficult play to pro-duce.
It demanded delicate char-acterizations,
the establishment of
a certain mood, and a sympathetic,
responsive audience.
Consistent characterization by all
members of the cast was clearly
collegian reinterpret these in the
light of his college experience. Pov-erty,
chastity and obedience an-swer
life's quest.
Lower classmen in several east-ern
colleges and universities are
not permitted to own autos. A salu-tary
effect is noticed in their
scholastic achievement. An extra
pair of shoes would fortify many a
disillusioned freshman far better
than a myriad of devices which
divert his attention from the pur-pose
of an education.
In the selection of a marriage
partner chastity is basic. Its lack
is quickly sensed in indiscreet at-tire,
mannerisms, thoughts and
speech. Love is realistic, but save
something for the one with whom
the marriage vows will be spoken.
Obedience is the pathway leading
to the perfect will of God. Not
many who seek wealth will find
His will and certainly not the un-chaste.
These who lose their lives
in obedience will find them again
in service.
In the rear of the chapel in
Bodien residence hangs a picture
of Christ dedicated in memory of
a former Bethel girl. Like many
since she embodied these qualities
of St. Francis. A farmer's daughter
from northern Minnesota, she mar-ried
a seminary senior from the
far west. Little did she dream what
avenues of service she would tra-vel.
The testimony of church mem-bers
in the state of Washington,
airmen in Japan and Oklahoma,
and a missionary wife in Assam
are praise enough. In all of Bethel
life, may her vows of poverty,
chastity, and obedience inspire
many more like her.

play was Pat Colon's frantic plea
for intolerance. Bud Malmsten was
quite humorous in his role.
In my opinion, there were no poor
performances: something which
sets this play apart from many
Bethel plays in the past. It was a
superb job of casting as each of
the twelve jurymen was presented
as a distinct character. Unlike
some plays no one appeared to be
struggling to act like a character;

Three main attitudes, besides in-difference,
stood in the way of
justice in this play. The first was
bigoted intolerance which Colon
well portrayed. Second was the
complete confidence in an idea ra-tionally
arrived at which was best
seen in Purcell's fine portrayal of
an intelligent man with obvious
mental gifts who so lacked critical
insight. The third bar to justice
in this play was hidden motives.
J. Larry Johnson convincingly por-trayed
a man who was trying to
prove to himself he was innocent
and his rebellious son guilty by
maintaining the guilt of the boy
on trial.
Much of the credit for the suc-cess
of this play must go to Lance
Dailey. For a student to direct a
serious dramatic performance so
well is indeed noteworthy.

developed the idea of an
intelligentsia with a heart burning
for Christ.
Topics discussed in problem ses-sions
included campus newspapers,
dorm counseling, leadership con-ferences,
chapel programs, foreign
students and student elections.
Among the delegates attending
from Bethel were Lois Bradshaw,
sophomore; Dwight Jessup; Steve
Peterson, freshman; Evan Rogers,
senior; Marilyn Swanson, senior;
and Liz Stoop, freshman.

Curriculum, Conference Meet
by Dave Hagfeldt
Physical education instructor, Lynn Lundin, has announced the
addition of two new courses, Community Recreation and Coaching Team
Sports, to next year's curriculum. This will strengthen the Physical
education minor now offered by Bethel.
Intramural program directors, Don Sension and Rog Carlson, said
that the softball program will not be held this year because too many
men are too busy to participate. The Dukes, led by Captain Phil Peter-son,
came on strong to win in the individual sports and take first place.
Plans and preparations for the Badger-Gopher conference spring
sports meet, May 22-23, are in the final stage.
Golf foursomes will begin teeing off at 9 a.m., at Como Park
golf course. Bethel will donate a medalist trophy to the meet medalist.
In baseball previously arranged games will determine the two
southern division teams and the two northern division teams to com-pete
in the playoff to be held at McMurray field in St. Paul.
Northwestern, who is co-sponsor of the meet, will handle the
tennis end and will donate the trophy. Some matches will be held on
our home courts.
The conference track meet will be held at Alexander Ramsey
high school's track. The conference will provide awards and a trophy.
"That building on the north-central part of the campus is a
gymnasium, not a fieldhouse," according to Lynn Lundin . . .
Several have mentioned that there should be some provision
made for spectators at our home tennis matches . . . Have you
noticed the appearance of bermudas again? . . . Seminarians
are making for the golf courses and tennis courts now that
basketball season is over . . . Concordia-organization plus . . .
Are you supporting our spring sports ?
Bethel's track team made its third appearance Saturday, April
24, in a triangular meet with Northwestern of Minn. and Concordia.
Northwestern won the meet with a total of 66 points, Bethel
second with 57 points, and Concordia 32 points.
Although Concordia took 23 of a possible 38 points in the field
events Northwestern and Bethel came through in the sprints and long
distances, almost splitting the points. Northwestern won on the strength
of its relay teams.
Due to the cancellation of several meets the next meet will be with
Augsburg, Hamline, and St. Thomas. Monday an intra-squad meet
was held.

Cisco Wins Australia Reseller News' Award for Hardware Vendor of the Year
Leading online and print channel publication Australian Reseller News (ARN) hosted a glittering awards ceremony last night attended by 650 IT industry leaders in celebration of the best in the channel for 2012.
In recognition of our proven commitment to the channel, Cisco was awarded ARN's Hardware Vendor of the Year. We were also recognised as highly commended in the category of "Best Emerging Technology" for our mobility initiatives.
As the awards are judged by our peers and partners in the industry, these awards have a special significance. It is truly an honour to be recognised as the best hardware vendor in Australia by our outstanding local partners.
We recognise that partners are the lifeblood of our business both in Australia and globally with nearly all of our sales worldwide going through our network of distributors and resellers. Global initiatives such as the Cisco Partner Plus and Services Partner Programs have helped support the business of our channel partners locally. Our sales and marketing team have also consistently worked with across all tiers of partners and distributors to develop strategic plans as well as ensuring marketing and sales strategies are aligned and integrated.
Cisco was also awarded highly commended in the "Best Emerging Technology: Mobility" award. Through the creation of integrated BYOD and mobility platforms, Cisco has been able to remove the barriers and address the challenges that resellers have traditionally faced when selling mobility solutions. Cisco Smart Solutions, Cisco Identity Services Engine and the recently launched Cisco Jabber are all great examples of this.
We are also extremely proud of our employees that were recognised as finalists in the Personal Innovation categories.
- Raymond Santoso, Customer Support Engineer was a finalist in the 'Technical Excellence' segment for his ability to diagnose and solve a specific technical problem with a major Australian service provider.
- Gaetan Guilhon, also a Customer Support Engineer, was recognised as a finalist in the 'Customer Service' segment thanks to his willingness to spend time learning a customer's business which in turn has allowed him to understand the wider issues that each customer query represents. He has been responsible for building and fostering many key relationships with partners.
Congratulations to ARN for celebrating its 21st anniversary and a big thank you to the ARN team for putting on another outstanding event in celebration of the channel.
We applaud the success of all of this year's finalists and award recipients who have helped raise the stakes and led the way in the Australian IT channel. Cisco is proud to partner with so many well-respected and industry-leading organizations across Australia.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

On April 16, Seth Holt was working on his farm in Lee County, when he saw a dark cloud headed his way.
Holt, a Lee County agricultural Extension agent, took shelter from what turned out to be a major thunderstorm on his farm. But later he realized how lucky he had been when he saw the devastation that tornadoes had done to his county.
"It actually got worse as it moved through," Holt said.
Lee County was home to the Lowe's home improvement store that was destroyed by tornadoes from the same storm.
Quick-thinking store employees ushered customers into the back of the store for safety. As a result, no one in the store was injured even though tornadoes ripped the roof off the building, toppled merchandize inside and tossed cars in the parking lot like toys.
Since April, Holt and other Extension employees — in Lee County and beyond — have been busy helping to make their counties whole again. Recently, North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr visited Lee County to see the devastation firsthand and to ensure county residents their needs would be met.
"Burr was appalled at the devastation, but he had a positive message," Holt said. "He said, 'build it back better than it was.' He said there would be help for this."
Four major agricultural operations in Lee County sustained serious damage: Two large tobacco operations, one horse operation and a wholesale/retail nursery.
The two tobacco operations lost a total of 42 curing barns – one operation lost 32 and another lost 10. One operation also needed a curing shelter.
Holt contacted North Carolina State's Loren Fisher, tobacco Extension specialist, who spread the word about the need for the barns. Growers with barns to sell offered them, and now the Lee County growers must go pick them up.
Growers pulled together to help the affected farms recover. "Farmers in Lee and other counties showed up to help — plant tobacco and clean up debris," Holt said.
Horticulture Extension agent Brenda Gwynn helped with recovery at the nursery by leading a group of volunteers who installed a new irrigation system and salvaged plants.
In addition, all Extension staffers helped growers fill out their disaster recovery paperwork. "Growers are anxious to see what relief they will get," Holt said.
There is still much work to be done, but Holt is pleased with progress made toward recovery. "I think it's going great, I really do," he said. "The recovery is slow, but it's steady."

At the Stockholm group of the World Championships, there has been a minor upset brewing in the form of the Swiss hockey team. The Stockholm group of the World Championships was touted to be the tougher of the two groups as it featured talent packed teams, such as Sweden, Canada and Czech Republic. No one could have guessed that the Swiss that are stealing the limelight.
In the opening game of the tournament, the Swiss handed a 3-2 loss to the hosts Sweden and then carried on the run of upsets by beating Canada in the penalty shoot out and then convincingly seeing off the Czech team by 5-2.
The team is comprised of players who play in the Swiss National League. The only NHL name that might be familiar to people is Nashville Predators' defence man Roman Josi or New York Islander's prospect Nino Niedereitter. The other recognisable name in the Swiss roster to most hockey fans is goalie Martin Gerber, who won the Stanley Cup with the Hurricanes in 2006.
The Swiss have so far faced and won the toughest countries in its group – and barring a complete disaster – should be progressing into the second stage of the competition as a team that should not be taken lightly. In the past few years it has been the Swiss who have taken the biggest strides in terms of developing their standard of players and their results at the World Championships stage and it wouldn't be a surprise if the Swiss were in medal contention this year.
The team is getting steady scoring from all lines and in goal, Gerber has been strong, posting a 1.92 GAA and 92.31 Save percentage in three starts. Perhaps if the Swiss keep going the way they have been, we might see them in the medal games this year. Though it would take a lot to see them in the final, the Swiss could be on the way to building its own Cinderella story for this year's World Championships.

Social Life and Respect for the State
In the Golden Age, the arts and technology will flourish and develop to heretofore unimagined extents. In addition, social life will be markedly peaceful. Allah will present a previously unknown level of beauty to the life of people of faith who turn to His religion, for, as stated in the Qur'an, He promises good to His servants who comply with the Qur'an's morality:
Allah calls to the Abode of Peace and guides whom He wills to a straight path. Those who do good will have the best and more! Neither dust nor debasement will darken their faces. They are the Companions of Paradise, remaining in it timelessly, forever. (Surah Yunus: 25-26)
In the Golden Age, "the Abode of Peace" promised to those who "do good" will be present in its true sense. The most important element that ensures such a life will be strict adherence to the Qur'an's morality.
How will this peace and tranquility be secured?
As we know, respect, obedience, and confidence engender social peace and tranquility. In the Qur'an, obedience is featured and encouraged as an ideal moral attribute. In many verses, Allah commands Muslims to be obedient. Consequently, the social life of a community that embodies the Qur'an's morality is simultaneously an environment in which people show the greatest respect and obedience to the state.
In addition, Allah forbids people from committing corruption. There are many verses related to this command:
Eat and drink of Allah's provision, and do not go about the land corrupting it. (Surat al-Baqara: 60)
Whenever he holds the upperhand, he goes about the land corrupting it, destroying [people's] crops and animals. Allah does not love corruption. (Surat al-Baqara: 205)
Do not corrupt the land after it has been put right. Call on Him fearfully and eagerly. Allah's mercy is close to the good-doers. (Surat al-A'raf: 56)
Give full measure and full weight. Do not diminish people's goods. Do not cause corruption in the land after it has been put right. That is better for you if you are believers. Do not lie in wait on every pathway, threatening people, barring those who believe from [entering] the Way of Allah, desiring to make it crooked. Remember when you were few and He increased your number: see the final fate of the corrupters! (Surat al-A'raf: 85-86)
But as for those who break Allah's contract after it has been agreed, sever what Allah has commanded to be joined, and cause corruption in the land, the curse will be upon them. They will have the Evil Abode. (Surat ar-Ra'd: 25)
Seek the abode of the Hereafter with what Allah has given you, without forgetting your portion of the world. And do good, as Allah has been good to you. And do not seek to cause corruption in the land. Allah does not love corrupters. (Surat al-Qasas: 77)
In compliance with these verses, sincere Muslims strictly avoid causing any corruption and instigating chaos and conflict. In a peaceful, stable, and tolerant manner, they always seek peaceful solutions to problems.
Life in the Golden Age also will be characterized by peace. People will display the trust and respect they feel for the state by obeying its agencies. People will no longer pose difficulties or fight against police or other security forces. On the contrary, with their tolerant and kind attitude, those who live by the Qur'an's morality will always side with the security forces and thereby help them to accomplish their tasks. The presence of such people will eradicate anarchy, terror, chaos, enmity, and violence. As a result, humanity will attain a Paradise-like environment, the like of which has never been seen before. Conflict, fighting, and disagreement will be things of the past. On the streets, people will feel secure and will be able to go anywhere—even at night.
Our Prophet (saas) stressed in his sayings that there will be no bloodshed in that period and that peace will prevail:
In this time, one is not awoken from sleep and not a drop of blood is shed.21
In this time, neither a man will be awoken from sleep, nor will a person's nose bleed.22
Moreover, the self-possessed and obedient attitude of these morally excellent people will make it easy to administer the country. The absence of such vices as greed for material values and mundane troubles (e.g., striving to make a living) will put an end to theft and fraud. Violent outbreaks will not happen, and the pursuit for truth and research will occupy people's minds. In the absence of anarchy, terror, corruption, crime, murder, fraud, and so many other evil deeds, countries will prosper.
This contemporary, civilized, and rational Islamic model, which will prevail during the Golden Age, will guide the Islamic world. The walls of bigotry surrounding Islam for centuries will collapse, and the original religion will resurface in all of its purity. Societies abiding by the Qur'an's morality will solve their internal social problems and become role models for other societies.

I cannot get svn to work. I am using Redhat 4 el. What gives? I am doing exactly as the line says.ReplyDelete
thanks in advance,

Hey Stani, this is the error message I get: "Error: Can't connect to host 'svn.berlios.de': A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. "ReplyDelete
I should note that I am in the North Eastern Part of the US. I get the same error when I try from home.
I tried using this on Windows Vista but it just won't start.ReplyDelete
is there a way to get a debug output?
i have been using SPE 0.8.3.c for a little while, as far as im concerned it blows away the competition in most aspects, but please help me with 2 things...ReplyDelete
1st: its really hard to find the installer for 0.8.3c for win32 with python 2.5 (i can find 2.4 easy enough, but i dont use 2.4 anymore... is there anywhere that i can get that other than subversion? i need to install it on alot of machines for my little start up company, and it would make things alot simpler if i could find the package i want easier... (i lost the installer i did find a while back)
2nd and most important: i notice with the code completion that if you end up with a large string of code that it falls off the edge of the autocomplete popup and thus makes the function useless since there are no scrollers in that window so you could move right and see the auto complete entries available. i dont knopw yet how to program gui systems with python or i would try to patch it myself, but i think the simplest solution would either to colapse the string to the current cursor position to show the option in a way that take less space on screen or to just include a scrollbar.... since SPE has one of the best code completion systems already (even compared to the expensive proprietary IDEs), i think this is deffinately an issue that should be resolved asap for the next version.
Thanks for the killer app Stani, keep it going strong for us and maybee ill help in developement when i learn a bit more (which i would seriously like to do)
It works on Vista. You get debug output with "python SPE.py --debug"
1. Probably the python2.4 of SPE 0.8.3.cinstaller will work for python2.5 as well, because SPE is 100% python. Could you try that and report it back here? Be carefull: SPE 0.8.3.c doesn't work with wxPython2.8, use wxPython2.6
2. You can file a bug report about it on the berlios site.
- elvensonJuly 17, 2007 10:05 AM
i got SPE working under python2.5 and it will run on my machine mostly with wxPython2.8.....ReplyDelete
to be on the safe side, i installed python2.4 and wxPython2.6, now SPE is running using both that configuration and also i have set it up to run under Python2.5 with wxPython2.6 as well as another under wxPython2.8..... So, with 3 options to choose from off my start menue i should have no problems with it.... if something doesnt work using the newer releases, i have the default settings redy to go pretty readilly (especially since SPE remembers what i had open no mater which configuration i had used last)
as for the bugs, i have started learning some wxPython, so i may be able to figure out a solution to them pretty soon (they seam theoretically to be easy fixes... i dont think im too far from learning how to solve them right now)
i did notice a few more minor things that require tweeking though and will be submitting a bug report soon (i want to further explore them a bit so i can supply more specific info on what i found for you guys)
Hi Stani -ReplyDelete
I'm a firsttime user, but I had no difficulty using tortoise SVN to download SPE and run it under WinXP.
There are a couple of issues I've found so far:
- The Run (F9) function doesn't cope with spaces in the file path under Windows.
- The wxGlade links in the help menu are 404 on your web server.
Thanks for your great work on SPE.
Greg Fawcett.

Heya. I tried using tortoissvn on Vista to download SPE. But I cannot connect to the server. The target machine actively refuses to connect. What am I doing wrong? ThanksReplyDelete

A caption in my last post pointed out that John F. Kennedy viewed reading The New York Times as perhaps more enlightening than poring over government intelligence reports.
I am not privy to CIA or other such "intel," but from where I sit so-called "newspapers of record" remain a great source of both hard news and especially news analysis. And in this digital age, you may not even have to fork over a buck or more to read these publications as many, including The Times, make their entire content available free of charge online.
Case in point: A piece by Larry Rohter in the edition for August 3rd, "Shipping Costs Start to Crimp Globalization," explains how the massive spike in fuel costs is already leading some global manufacturers to rethink their supply chains including where they manufacture their goods in the first place.
"Many economists argue that globalization will not shift into reverse even if oil prices continue their rising trend," Rohter writes. "But many see evidence that companies looking to keep prices low will have to move some production closer to consumers. Globe-spanning supply chains -- Brazilian iron ore turned into Chinese steel used to make washing machines shipped to Long Beach, Calif., and then trucked to appliance stores in Chicago -- make less sense today than they did a few years ago. "
Supporting his argument, Rohter points out that the Swedish-based global home-furnishings giant Ikea opened its first U.S. factory in May and some electronics firms that departed Mexico for the lower wages paid in China are now coming back to our southern neighbor "because they can lower costs by trucking their output overland to American consumers. "
"Made in China" labels may become less ubiquitous due to global fuel costs.
Ah, yes, that word: trucking! Rohter observes that the industries most likely to be affected by the upturn in transportation costs are those producing heavy or bulky goods that are expensive to ship relative to their sale price.
As an example, he states that China's steel exports to the U.S. "are now tumbling by more than 20% on a year-over-year basis, their worst performance in a decade, while American steel production has been rising after years of decline." He says that "motors and machinery of all types, car parts, industrial presses, refrigerators, television sets and other home appliances could also be affected." And he adds that "industries that require relatively less investment in infrastructure, like furniture, footwear and toys, are already showing signs of mobility as shipping costs rise."
You don't even have to read between those lines to see opportunity knocking for truck fleets to haul the inbound and outbound freight these manufacturing plants of all type will generate, right here at home.
Keep your eyes peeled for the right turns ahead!

Check with your school's bookstore. They can probably offer you some discounts. That's how I got mine.
The only laptops you should be considering are ibms. IBM recently released their new models for the year, so you can expect the new system prices to fall in the coming months. IBM doesn't discount their comps in waves though, it happens randomly over time.
I don't know why people on this board have such a hard-on for IBM's. They are incredibly expensive for what you get. Sure they are rated highly but there are a million brands that make great computers. Just research what you want and get it. Check out www.cnet.com. As far as the best timing goes to buy a computer; I've often wondered that myself. To say that the time of the year has nothing to do with deals is completely foolish. Think about it. A lot of people are buying computers now in preparation of the impending school year; therefore companies are going to be more competitive in their pricing.The same thing goes for times around the holiday season.Their is nothing random about pricing.

"Obama said he would strengthen the middle class and introduce immigration reform"
Given that "immigration reform" is Newspeak for "legalise the illegals and invite their friends and family", it seems unlikely the middle class will be strengthened.
The wealthy class, very probably.

The Republican indifference to immigration seems extremely peculiar - not because of their supposed beliefs but because it is so against their interests. Poor Latinos are about as liable to vote Republican as long-haired Brightonians are to vote UKIP. Even if they match the Democrats for lenience towards migration, the migrants are going back the Donkeys for their economic views. If the Republicans care about their party it would make more sense to concentrate on trying to make the Latinos who are citizens richer.
But they don't seem all that bothered. If a prospective politician has been less than wholly devoted to Israel, though, that's something to panic about.
- 1:27 am
The problem that the Republicans have is that they know if they takle a firm stand against immigration they will be portrayed as the racist party and will NEVER win any votes (just as Conservatives are portrayed as such here). Consequently they say nothing. Every time the Democrats get into power they open the door wide to immigrants.
I do get the feeling that the true Republicans have actually given up, which is why the party itself cannot seem to find any credible person to stand at election time. Maybe at the back of their mind they have decided that the only solution for them is civil war because in actuality that is the only way to re-write the American constitution from scratch to reign in the Left. Hence they arm themselves to the teeth and distance themselves from the running of the nation. They seem bent on helping the Left bring the US to some sort of economic "End of Days" scenario. I'm guessing they have realised that when push comes to shove the middle-class and the upper class don't need to rest as much as the rest needs them. Certainly I have heard many middle-class Republicans talking in these kind of terms while their Democratic voting peers really haven't a clue what is happening.
It is the case all over the Democratic world that the need for the radical Left to win votes by importing "low information voters" with low incomes outweights any concerns about the progress of the nation. Consequently Democracy as praticed in the Modern World is all about the Left using various techniques to continually gerrymander the outcome of elections, to counter the rise in numbers of people that have worked out that the Left don't actually have their best interests in mind. Sadly the Left are too stupid to realise this will mean the end of democracy, the end of freedom the end of civilisation and ultimately the end of the radical left.
- 9:54 am
No, the problem with the Republicans is that they're controlled by the neocons, who also have large influence over many Dems.
That's the way modern politics works, a large pressure group spans the political spectrum to control the debate, regardless of who's in power.
As in gay marriage, EU, immigration and anything of any significance.

The Xbox One Media Remote lets you control your Xbox One console and, through Xbox One OneGuide, your cable or satellite set-top box. If you're experiencing issues controlling your TV or set-top box through your console or OneGuide, see Troubleshoot Xbox One OneGuide with your TV, AV receiver or set-top box.
The Xbox One Media Remote design makes it easy to control your Blu-ray movies, streaming video, apps, TV power and volume. It also features backlit keys that light up automatically when you touch the remote control.
Included in the Media Remote packaging are:
The Xbox One Media Remote is easy to set up. Insert the batteries as shown below, and the remote control will be ready to use. You don't have to wirelessly sync it to the console. You can immediately begin to control OneGuide, Blu-ray films, streaming videos and apps.
Note The Xbox One Media Remote does not directly control your cable or satellite box – this is done by OneGuide on the Xbox One console. OneGuide allows you to change channels and volume on your compatible cable or satellite boxes.
To control your TV power and volume, you'll need to configure your console to control your TV. You can use your Kinect sensor to send an infrared signal or the IR extension cables to remotely control your TV. To learn how to do this, see Set up live TV with your Xbox One.
The Xbox One Media Remote uses IR technology to communicate with the Xbox One console. For it to best communicate with your console, the Media Remote should be within 30 feet (9 metres) and aimed at the front of the console, as shown below.
Note The IR receiver is on the console, not the Kinect sensor, which has separate IR cameras and emitters. The Kinect sensor sends IR signals to your device to change channels and volume.
Note These buttons do not control DVR activity from your TV signal. That function is not available at this time.
The Media Remote has no power or functionality
If your remote won't perform any functions, replace the batteries with fresh AAA batteries. Make sure that you place them in the right position.
If you've replaced the batteries and the remote still doesn't work, you need to replace your remote. To order a replacement, go to the Xbox Online Service Centre.
The Media Remote works for most of my content and apps, except for a particular app
The Media Remote will work with most apps. However, the design of some third-party apps may not work with the Media Remote. In this case, your remote is working and there's no need to replace it.
The Media Remote works for most functions but will not control my TV
Controlling your TV with the Media Remote requires you to first configure your Xbox One to control your TV through the console settings. To learn how to do this, see Set up live TV with your Xbox One.
Can I use my Xbox 360 Media Remote on my Xbox One?
The Xbox 360 Media Remote works only with the Xbox 360 console.
Can I use my Xbox One Media Remote on my Xbox 360?
The Xbox One Media Remote only works only with the Xbox One console.
The Media Remote is physically broken
If your Media Remote broke through normal use and operation, you should replace it. To order a replacement, go to the Xbox Online Service Centre.
Thanks for your feedback!

Would you like to contact Support regarding the "About the Xbox One Media Remote" issue you were reading about or a different issue?

Many of us stick with the same desktop wallpaper and screensaver, happy with our lot. But if you're the kind of person who gets tired of seeing the same old image day in, day out, you'll have no doubt experimented with different wallpapers in an attempt to find something that grabs your attention.
One of the frustrations of the desktop background can be how static it is, which is where Stardock's DeskScapes 8 comes in. Not only does it provide you with a host of static and animated wallpapers to select for your desktop background or screensaver, DeskScapes also allows you to apply special effects and animations to them too in order to give your desktop a more interesting look, from a slowly rotating Earth (which shows day and night in real-time) to vintage drive-thru with flying birds and animated girl and boy in his car.
It's incredibly simple to use: once installed, right-click the desktop and choose Configure DeskScapes to get started. A list of available wallpapers – including those already present on your PC – are shown, with a link to downloading more from WinCustomize.com at the base. Pick a wallpaper, then use the Adjust, Effects, Colour and Settings tab to tweak it to your satisfaction.
The Effects tab is of most interest, providing you with dozens of ways to transform your existing wallpaper, from blur effects to colourizations and other filters. You can also create your own effects by combining up to four existing effects too.
Animated wallpapers are called "Dreams", and while only a handful of provided in DeskScapes itself, you'll find loads more at WinCustomize.com. Fancy creating your own? DeskScapes ships with Stardock DreamMaker, a free standalone tool that allows you to take an image and animate it yourself. It's not the simplest to use, but there's plenty of information online.
Produces impressive results, but do you really need to pay $10 just to animate your desktop? We're not entirely convinced.

CumuLogic has today announced the public beta version of its new PaaS solution, which is designed to enable enterprises and ISVs to build and manage Java PaaS in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.
This technology essentially aims to provide control for application infrastructures, while simultaneously enabling developers with the capability to focus on rapidly engineering new apps at the same time.
"Today's clouds are complex and all different. There is almost no interoperability between cloud providers and between public and private clouds," said James Gosling, technical advisory board member at CumuLogic.
Note: The arguably heavy-handed quote is indeed attributed the "the" James (father of the Java language and platform) Gosling.
"I'm enthusiastic about CumuLogic's PaaS cloud management solution as it utilizes the higher levels of abstraction inherent in the PaaS model to reduce the complexity of cloud management, provides targeted facilities for both developers and management, and erases the distinctions between the various clouds enabling transparent interoperability," added Gosling.
CumuLogic says it is focused on delivering a best-of-breed technology that provides users with the flexibility and features to accelerate application development, while also providing control to IT organizations to adhere to security and compliance requirements when using public clouds.
James Gosling and Bill Vass, former CIO of Sun Microsystems and president of Sun Federal, lead CumuLogic's Technical Advisory Board.
"By enabling customers to leverage their existing investment in Java development, CumuLogic is in a position to help enterprises transition to the cloud with minimal risk and retooling," said Peder Ulander, VP of product marketing, Cloud Platforms Group, Citrix Systems.
CumuLogic says it provides a complete solution for public and private clouds running on Amazon EC2, Cloud.com (acquired by Citrix), Eucalyptus, and VMware — with OpenStack coming soon.
The product provides support for multiple clouds, which allows clouds from multiple vendors to be supported at the same time. Also included is the ability to mix-and-match middleware software components, which enable the deployment of modern applications, as well as consolidation of legacy Java applications to a single platform, substantially lowering the cost of managing various application infrastructure assets.

We all know the history of alcohol's prohibition, but did you know that the soda fountain also had its own prohibition? When I was writing Fix the Pumps, and detailing the effects the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 had on the soda fountain, I wondered what effect pulling all those drugs from circulation had on the mood of the country. I didn't dig into this aspect at the time as it didn't fit into the story line, but I always wondered. I've now decided to answer my own question and it is very interesting and may involve murder.
The "soda prohibition" wasn't a constitutional modification, like the US 18th amendment that enabled the Volstead Act, but a simple consumer protection law that required proper labelling of products, but also deemed substances like alcohol, cocaine, morphine, opium, cannabis and heroin as dangerous, effectively putting a halt to their excess use, though they were still available. This law took a lot of the kick out of soda and put a significant dent in the snake oil salesmen of the time.
A change was happening before the laws were put on the books, most of this due to observations from ethical medical practitioners that cocaine and other drugs were not healthy (They Thirst for Cocaine (1902)). Coca-Cola is said to have removed most of the cocaine from their formulation by 1904, but there were dozens of other soda brands on the market, some still using cocaine in their formula and there were still no laws banning it outright.
When I started to look for clues as to how this new law affected the United States, I found a startling result in the historical murder rates. The murder rate in 1903 was 1.1 murders per 100,000 people, in 1905 the rate doubled to 2.1, and in 1906 it doubled once more to 3.9 murder per 100,00 people. By 1907 it was 4.9, an almost five times increase in the murder rate since 1903.
For comparison in 1919, at the start of prohibition, the murder rate was 7.2 per 100k people and peaked in 1933 at 9.7 but then once alcohol was available the rate started to decrease, and by 1939 it was down to 6.4 murders per 100k people.
When you look at the graph, it is hard to ignore this rapid increase in murders in that 1903 to 1907 time frame. When you think about it, taking away drugs like cocaine, morphine, opium and heroin from addicts, I'm sure there was an increase in grumpiness due to withdrawal symptoms. A quick look through scientific research papers points to a significant increase in violence associated with cocaine use. Cocaine abstinence syndrome (withdrawal) is also associated with increased agitation and hostility. (Cocaine and Psychiatric Symptoms)
I haven't come across any other reasonable explanation as to why the murder rate increased so rapidly around 1906, but looking at the info, it is not too hard to conclude that a few people suffering from drug withdrawals had an increase in hostility and went off the deep-end. I'd say it is a plausible explanation but may require deeper research to truly understand the effects of the Pure Food and Drug Act had on the population.
