Bethel Girls
Form Jewish
Prayer Group
A Girls' Jewish Prayer group has
been organized under the leader-ship
of Evelyn Sundberg and Mar-jorie
The purpose of the group is to
pray with one accord for God's own
people and to send out by mail the
Word of God, and special literature
which shall make intelligible to the
Jew the Old Testament claims of
our Lord Jesus as their Messiah.
The results of misionary work
among the Jews is amazing. A
careful calculation estimates the
number of Jewish converts in the
19th century as at least 204,500.
However, there are still a great
number of Jews who need Christ.
We_ have approximately twenty
cities of 10,000 or more Jews that
have no organized missionary
work among them, and there are
160 cities with 1,000 or more Jews
in this country for which no re-port
of work of any society is
The Girls' Prayer Group has
taken as its theme, Rom. 1:16 "I
am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that
believeth to the Jew first and also
to the Greek."
When the group was organized
there were only six present, but that
number has increased until there
are about eighteen who attend reg-ularly.
This group by God's grace
—by prayer, through literature, and
personal touch want to win these
Jews, "the apple of God's eye," to

Not tlfaterial Blessings cAlone.>
In this Thanksgiving season two pictures of our country come to
our minds: one of the sober-faced Pilgrims kneeling in a prayer of
Thanksgiving in the midst of the golden proofs of a bounteous summer;
the other of factories pouring their smoke into the skies, while within
are whirring lathes, glowing rivets—work, by men and women—for guns,
bullets, bombers, battleships—one a scene of peace, one of war.
The contrast shows many things. It shows progress in the invention
of mechanical things, in the organization of men—in the ability to hate
and kill. But what has become of the development of our souls and
What about the future of these two Thangsgivings? For the Pilgrims
there was a black and cold New England winter with the added perils
of Indian massacres, scarce food, and disease; for us . a bleak winter of
war, what else we dare not guess. But the Pilgrims realized the trouble
the future might bring, and still were thankful. So should we be.
Of course we praise God for His physical gifts, food, clothing,
homes, but let us look deeper than that. Let us think of our spiritual
blessings, for in the horror of war they become even more apparent.
We thank God that this adversity has bound us closer to our fellow-men
across the waters. We may more than ever understand them,
suffer with them, and aid in our small donations of money, food, and
We thank God for the teynpering of our character. We are learning
patience and privation.
We thank God we are privileged to attend the painful travail which
will result in the birth of a new and better world.
Let us be thankful for these things and at the same time make their
perfection our goal for the future.

Herbert Nelson: I am thankful for
God's unspeakable Gift Who was
sent into this world that I might
have life abundant.
Evelyn Sundberg: I'm especially
thankful for the sweet peace that
Christ has put within my heart
—a peace which this world can-not
offer—a peace that passeth
all understanding.
Gordon Krantz: We still have
weather, in season and out.
Bob Hails: I am thankful for
Christ, through whom all things,
including Bethel, are possible.
Barney Cunningham: My Father is
a multi-millionaire; the Almighty
God is my keeper; everyday I
am nearing my Heavenly home—
so how can I help but be thank-ful.
Miriam Quarnstrom: I'm thankful
I came to Bethel.
Marjorie Porter: I am thankful for
the privilege of communing with
my Heavenly Father and for the
assurance in Matt. 21:22 that God
will answer my prayers.
Lorna Swanson: There is thanks-giving
in my heart everyday for
the wonderful Savior who loves
and guides me and for the joy
I find in serving Him.
Calvin Anderstrom: I'm thankful I
have guys like Roy and Lloyd
Nordstrom to argue with.
Dave Carlson: In times of world-distress
I say with the poet,
"Some has meat and canna eat,
And some would eat that want it;
But we have meat, and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit.

You Are reading just a few
words. If they constituted my last
opportunity to testify, I would not
change them.
It was the Son "Who gave him-self
for our sins" (Galatians 1:4)
and "rose again for our justifica-tion"
(Romans 4:25). That fact is
unanimously emphasized by us;
we all believe it. Beyond that our
paths diverge as do drops of water
from a hose. Many of us, in ex-pressing
our Christianity, overlook
the very center of our faith, love.
"In this was manifested the love
of God toward us, because that God
sent His only begotten Son into the
world, that we might live through
Him" (I John 4:9). For love was
Christ manifested for us, that we
might live, that we might live a
life demonstrating that love. Not
that we might live an existence cir-cumscribed
by the sins of a natural
man, common failings like jeal-ousy,
greed, hate, and lust. Sins
are demonstrated in the easily of-fended
who would rather lose a
friend than their pride. Sins are
emphasized by people who sacri-fice
the common good in preference
to their walled-in authority. Sins
are stressed by men who would
confine the thoughts and expres-sions
of their fellows to exactly the
same channels their own have trav-ersed
,and typified in Christians
whose life is a list of do's and
don't's smothering the vitality of
the Golden Rule.
We can grasp the full Gospel.
We can clasp it to our hearts. We
don't need to drag the divine down
to a level of human weaknesses.
When will we raise our eyes to
God? When will we address our
fellow believers as Brethren -with-out
reservation? When that time
comes, we will have the life we are
promised, a life of joy and peace
that passeth understanding, walk-ing
in communion with our Heaven-ly
Evelyn Sundberg
Rom. 12:1-2
God wants us to be weapons. We
should yield our members to God
as instruments. When God spoke
to Moses from the burning bush
and told him he was to be the one
to lead the Isrealites out of Egypt,
Moses felt incapable and tried to
back out. God asked Moses what
it was he had in his hand. Moses
replied, "Tis only a shepherd's
rod," but when that mere shep-herd's
rod was given to God, it be-came
an instrument of power. We
may feel incapable and feel we
haven't any talents or anything to
give to the Lord, yet if we give
ourselves ,our hands, feet, lips—
every part of us to Him, He can
use them in a measure we never
dreamed of. Today God needs men
who are wholly yielded to Him.
God wants us to be separated.
So many Christians are dabbling
a little bit in this world's corrup-tion
and because of it are finding
themselves unsatisfied and un-happy—
miserable. It's only when
you are living for Jesus that you
are truly happy for He alone is the
source of all contentment and the
fountain of all joy. It is impossible
for the Lord to bless and carry on
His work, unless there is a separa-tion
from the world. A separated,
transformed man will be able to
say with Paul, "I am crucified with
Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not
rbut Christ liveth in me." Gal. 2:20.
Our lovely Lord Jesus stands
stretching forth His hands, pierced
with cruel nails for you and me.
He is asking us today to be weap-ons
separated to Him and to His
work. He alone saved you from
the guilt of sin, brought you from
death unto life and gave you the
Spirit of God. Shouldnt you yield
Him your life? God has a place
for you and can use you. It is only
in that place that you will find
the greatest happiness and be of
service in the world.
Living for Jesus, Oh what peace
Rivers of pleasure never cease
Trials may come yet I'll not fear,
Living for Jesus, He is near.
There is no "skrut" column in
this issue of the Clarion.
If this lack (?) is a. disappoint-ment
please analyze the column
and decide whether it should be in-cluded.
1. Skrut takes space.
2. Space costs money.
3. Does the column accomplish
any purpose for the paper, school,
or student?
4. Is it worth the money':
5. Does it hurt by making
people an object of ridicule?
No authority on journalism ap-proves
of the gossip column. Does
it belong at Bethel?
The CLARION wants jokes, and
news items, things that happen in
classes. Write -them and turn them
in. We don't want gossip—Do you?

displayed on the "Rival," will re-port

we can have a better paper.

As a welcome to the Mr. and
Mrs. Borgerson, the new janitor
and his family we would like to
print a letter which they received
from their church in Chicago.
Dear Eric and Ellen:
'Vell, Eric and Ellen, so you are
really leaving us here in Engle-wood.
We had never dreamed that
such a thing could be possible. We
expected that you would always
be with us and each time we open-ed
the church doors we expected
to find you here. We have always
expected to have the building warm
and cozy, air fresh and yet not
chill. We always expected the
chairs to be clean and not need to
dust them off before we sat down
with our light clothes. We expect-ed
you to prepare for weddings,
for funerals, for dinners. We ex-pected
you to watch the children,
watch the wraps and watch the
Oh Eric—now we are sorry and
it is clear as clear can be, that we
belong to the T. F. G.
Takers For Granted . . . Oh what
a name, Takers For Granted . . .
Oh what a shame.
We might have during these
many years slapped you on the
back and said "Thank you, brother
and sister. Thank you for a job
well done," but T. F. G.'s do not
do that. They take everything for
granted and expect more.
Maybe there are others here
among us, who because they are
willing, we also take for granted.
Maybe we should say, "Thank you
now before it is too late . . . and
add God Bless You too." We need
to pray — God make us thankful
for willing hearts and service and
not expect more than we should.
Well, we live and learn, but some
times we learn too late.
Well, Eric, many are the happen-ings
that you have seen during
your stay here in Englewood.
You came to us in the days of
prosperity back in '26 and then you
also watched our coats grow
threadbare and worn in the days
of depression, but through it all
we can quote God's word that "My
people shall never be without
You came to us as a young man
of 26 taking over a new job and a
new residence. Well, you did a
real good job, and it wasn't long
before a Mistress found her way
into your heart and life and be-cause
she had been such a fine
balance, much of your success finds
its way to Ellen's feet.
Then too, our children came to
you here in Englewood, and surely
time will never erase their arrival.
Lovely children, Dile and Ellen,
may God bless them and keep them
Well, we could go on remember-ing
forever. We shall continue to
come to our church home and as
we call "where is Eric?" the rafters

Last week-end while on a gospel

one of the finest pieces of work
in the line of contributing' to the

Early last spring the men's club
of the Baptist Church of Cokato
started to work. They tilled- a plot
of ground behind the church. These
men lived in town and could easily
give some of their spare evenings
to the work. They decided they
wanted to help Bethel this fall so
on that plot they planted potatoes
and with constant care that small
plot yielded 25 bushel of fine pota-toes

Youths of College Age
Most Susceptible to
TB, Seal Group Finds
Tuberculosis has young people of
college age in Ramsey county
marked for attack, according to the
Ramsey County Public Health As-sociation,
the local Christmas Seal
This organization, which puts
Christmas Seals on sale beginning
the week of Nov. 23, found last
year that young people, between
the ages of 20 and 39, gave up more
lives to this disease enemy than
any other age group except those
between 40 and 50 years.
There is warning enough it this
,situation for college youth, but in
the present war period, conditions
markedly unfavorable to health are
a part of the war strain, and the
Ramsey County Public Health As-sociation
seeks to put youth on the
civilian front on guard against
tuberculosis, more than usual.
Young women are working in de-fense
plants. Even before the war
strain was manifest, one out of
every four deaths among young wo-men
aged 15 to 30 was caused by
tuberculosis. We must call a halt
Our country needs strong, healthy
young men, yet before the war
came, one out of every six young
men between 20 and 40 who died,
was a victim of tuberculosis. We

"On the Bench"
by Bo
The banner that this column
bears may be an opening for a
good variety of columns, but being
that this is not spring and young
men don't turn fancy in this kind
of weather, we will limit it to a
treatise on our present basketball
We have witnessed already a bit
(?) of action which our team put
on at the Homecoming game and
by the time this is read by the
public there will have been more
to say something about. Perhaps
first we should mention a "has-been'
or two. Heading the list, some
say, is Gene Nyman who scored
all of two points in the Homecom-ing
game to the accompanyment
of Ben "Gozzle" Anderson's chides
to the effect that Nyman should
punch his time card and quit. We
noticed however that "Gozz" him-self
wasn't down there so all that
doesn't mean much in our opinion.
According to the game" though,
we notice that Bergerud must be
tired of getting a "bench-eye" view
of the games because we saw how
he was flying around everywhere
making good account of himself.
The calls of the crowd brought out
Francis "Drip" Otto for a little sec-tion

only had a few more "Drips" (as

Alumni Game Review
Phil Bishop
Last year's varsity did a very
nice job of turning back the alumni
team Friday night before one of
the largest Home-coming crowds
our school has known.
The varsity, led by Captain
Shine Swanson with 17 points and
Bob Bergerud with 14 points, really
showed some promise for the com-ing
season. The varsity succeeded
in rolling up a score of 54 points
while the alumni made 30.
However ,it cannot be said that
the alumni did not fight, for they
upt up a great deal of resistance
regardless of the score. The high
scoring honors go to Coach John-son
and our former Coach Adam,
for they both collected seven
points. After looking at the rec-ords,
your truly thinks it might be
well for the alumni to practice a
few free throws, as they missed 19.
The students may be interested
to know that the alumni are trying
to get together another team in
hopes of making a better hsowing
the next time.
now he gets up at 5:30 A. M. every
morning and has a special workout
in the gym before breakfast. A
. couple more "Drips" like that and
it may mean a few more "buckets."
More power to you drips.
This may have had a little more
meaning coming from one on "the
bench" but maybe next time it
will, but until then we'll leave you
sitting there.

Page 4 THE BETHEL CLARION
Bethel Indians Win Over
Concordia College 43-39
Winning over Concordia 43-39,
the Bethel Indians made their first
appearance of the season.
The game was closely fought.
The score at the half left Bethel
behind by 10 points. In a swift
pickup from the half, they came
from behind to eke out a victory.
The last quarter was tense with
excitement as both teams split the
hemp to even up the game at every
The dust fairly lay as a blanket
over the gym floor as the rooters
cheered their team on in the last
three minutes of the game. The
excitement started as Bethel passed
the Lutherans at 39-38. From here
on it was the Indians' game as
they plunked three more baskets
to a lone free shot for their op-ponents
to win, 43-39.
Much credit should go to Rune
Mentzer who played his first var-sity
game with the team. Referee
was Bill Adam of Cambridge, Min-nesota,
known by all Bethelites as
last year's coach.
The subs played a hard game,
but the passing and the well-organ-ized
playing of the Junior Comets
gave them the Victory.
A co-ed's promise to be on time
carries a lot of wait!

For Auto Body Shop in Woodbridge NJ visit: PrestigeAutoBodyShop.com
(BPT) – Fall has finally arrived, meaning it's time for the kids to hit the school books. And as the leaves gradually morph from green to gold, your driving schedule quickly accelerates from leisurely cruising to nonstop go, go, go.
Besides taking the kids to and from school, there are plenty of after-school activities – football practice, cheerleading tryouts, piano lessons and math tutors – that require additional drive time. Maybe a big-game tailgating party is on the agenda, too?
Before the crazed driving crunch hits, you might want to make sure your car, truck, SUV or van is ready for the back-to-school rush and good to go through the fast-approaching holiday season. According to Peter MacGillivray, vice president of events and communication for the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), an automotive trade organization with 6,500-plus member companies, there are endless amounts of innovative auto-enhancing products to help during the frantic driving season. "For 50-plus years, SEMA-member companies have been designing and producing clever, high-tech products that improve a vehicle's appearance, comfort, performance and even fuel-savings," said MacGillivray.
Consumers can find these products and more at www.enjoythedrive.com.
"As families go back to school, many find themselves spending more time in their vehicles. There are automotive accessories that can make the overall ride better and a lot less stressful."
1. Sit down: Best way to make passengers (and yourself) happy is to be comfortable. There are plenty of aftermarket seat-enhancing products from soft cushions to luxurious new car seats. There are also high-tech booster chairs and seats that have folding desks/trays which are ideal for last-minute homework.
2. Child alert: For the ultimate in safety there are "future-is-now" seats with phone apps that detect and warn when the child wiggles out of the seat and another that has a mobile notification system to alert parents if they accidently left a child in a car seat. It also provides detailed information about the temperature inside the car.
3. Strap in: There are lots of stops on the school run and during holiday madness, so safety is top of mind. There are myriad types of safety belts and restraint options to hold you and the family securely in place.
4. Just in case: With the long line of impatient parents waiting to drop off or pick up their kids at school, fender benders happen. A flexible rubber license plate bumper will help protect your vehicle – and everybody else's – from low-speed damage.
5. Cleanup duty: Breakfast on the run with kids can be messy. Check out the many choices of stylish seat covers and floor mats before the Cap'n Crunch and milk gets everywhere. If disaster does strike, there are several car care products that clean leather, plastic, carpet and windows.
6. Plug in: A good GPS system will solve the problem of getting lost with the kiddos. There's a touch mirror display option that has a GPS and a backup camera in a universally mountable rearview mirror. If your engine light is on, there's a product that captures the trouble code, takes you to a website to explain the problem and suggests solutions. And if you can't find your car, there's an electronic auto finder to help locate it.
7. Hold it: It's not safe to try and juggle cell phones and tablets while driving. Same goes for hot coffee. Luckily there are articulated mounting systems for technology devices and drinks that can be mounted on the seats and/or dash.
8. Tire talk: With all the summer driving you've done, now might be the time for new tires. At the very least, check your tire pressure every month. The correct tire pressure lengthens tire life, saves fuel and enhances safety. A slick digital tire pressure gauge makes it easy.
"These are just a few samples of the aftermarket products available for your vehicle," says MacGillivray. "Most auto parts stores and national chains carry them, and you can easily find them online, too."

This tutorial informs about how to use Get Hot New Stuff collaborative data sharing features in your KDE application. Complementary to this tutorial, there is a porting guide for KDE 3 developers and another tutorial in SVN. The KNS2-enabled application list is also a good reference to find similar applications.
First some basic terminology just to get us all on the same page. KHotNewStuff2 is the new library that implements the GHNS freedesktop.org specification for downloading and uploading user data. It will also support DXS (Desktop Exchange Service)
There are a many good examples for how to use khotnewstuff2 in the KDE-Edu module. Look at their source code for examples if needed, but it's basically a 2-part process to get download into your app.
A .knsrc file is just a file telling the library which options to use for a given application. It also lists where providers can be found, where uploads should be sent, etc. Anyway, the format of the file is an ini file with one group:
install( FILES yourdata.knsrc DESTINATION ${CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR} )
khotnewstuff4 yourdata.knsrc
static KNS::Entry::List download();
KNS::Entry::List entries = KNS::Engine::download(); // list of changed entries foreach(KNS::Entry* entry, entries) { // care only about installed ones if (entry->status() == KNS::Entry::Installed) { // do something with the installed entries } } } qDeleteAll(entries);
KNS::Engine engine(0); if (engine.init("wallpaper.knsrc")) { KNS::Entry::List entries = engine.downloadDialogModal(this);
if (entries.size() > 0) {
// do something with the modified entries here if you want
// such as rescaning your data folder or whatnot m_model->reload(); } }

Davis leads Pelicans past Nuggets, 111-107 in OT
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Anthony Davis tied his career high with 32 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and blocked six shots, and the New Orleans Pelicans erased a 16-point deficit to capture their third straight victory, 111-107 over the Denver Nuggets in overtime Sunday night.
Tyreke Evans had 20 points and Anthony Morrow added 14, including a 15-foot pullup in the lane that tied the game at 94 with 1 second left in regulation.
Davis' free throws gave New Orleans the lead for good at 106-104, and his block of Ty Lawson's driving layup prevented Denver from tying it with 1:14 left in overtime.
Davis became the first player in franchise history — going back to the club's founding as the Charlotte Hornets in 1988 — to have as many points, rebounds and blocks in one game.
Kenneth Faried had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Denver.
Aaron Brooks scored 12 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, nearly rescuing Denver from its collapse.
After being up by as many as 13 points early in the second half, Denver had fallen behind by as many as seven in the fourth quarter before Brooks scored six straight on three free throws and a transition 3-pointer to put the Nuggets back in front. Later, his clutch, weaving drive around Davis for a scoop off the glass put Denver in front 94-90 with 1:20 left. But Brian Roberts' free throws, followed by Morrow's clutch jumper, sent the game to overtime.
There were nine lead changes in the overtime thriller between two teams well out of playoff contention and playing for pride.
Davis' deep offensive rebound and assist on Morrow's 3 made it 100-98, and Davis exuberantly held three fingers in the air as the ball went down, only to see Lawson convert a quick three-point play on a driving layup as he was fouled to give Denver the lead right back.
Roberts followed with a jumper for New Orleans, then Wilson Chandler nailed a 3 to put the Nuggets back up by two. Evans' layup tied it for the eighth and final time at 104, and the Pelicans gradually wrapped up the win from there.
Lawson finished with 15 points, Chandler with 14 and JJ Hickson 12 for the Nuggets, who fell despite outshooting New Orleans 47.1 percent (40 of 85) to 45.6 percent (41 of 90).
Austin Rivers scored 13 and Eric Gordon 10 for the Pelicans.
Denver led by 56-43 on Timofey Mozgov's tip-in in the first minute of the second half, but Gordon's 3 started an 8-0 run that included Davis' three-point play on a 16-foot jumper as he was fouled.
New Orleans completed the comeback on another 16-footer by Davis that tied it at 69 with 1:31 left in the quarter.
Rivers hit a floater and a 3 as New Orleans then scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter.
Denver, which shot 60 percent (21 of 35) in the first half, and was up 11-2 on Randy Foye's 3 less than 4 minutes into the game. The lead grew to 15 in the first quarter when Faried's free throws made it 23-8.
Faried had 13 points in the first half, and gave the Nuggets their largest lead on a layup that made it 46-30 with 4:54 left in the second quarter.
NOTES: The Nuggets resume their five-game road trip Monday night in Charlotte, followed by games Wednesday in Orlando, Friday in Miami and Saturday in Atlanta. … Davis has surpassed 20 points and 10 rebounds in a game 22 times this season, and he has 30 double-doubles.

Californians Want to Fight Global Warming
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Many people who live in California are very concerned about the earth. They are worried that the earth is warming too much. They believe that living things on the earth will be affected by the warming. Most Californian's think that the state should investigate the problem.
A survey was taken in California. The questions that were asked were about global warming. The results of the survey were very interesting. They showed that most people in California are very concerned about global warming.
The survey showed that over half of the people who live in California want the state to work on the global warming. Last year not as many people felt that way. People think the problem is getting worse.
Another poll showed that many people are not happy with the federal government. They do not like the way global warming is being handled. Only a few people asked think that the federal government is doing a good job with this issue.
One man said that Californians are feeling worse, not better. They are more concerned today than they ever have been about global warming. Many of them want the state of California to deal with the problem instead of waiting for the federal government to do something.
The people do not want to wait. They want the state to start working on the problem immediately.

It is time to set forth – into a new age, on a new generation of enduro bikes. With low weight and abundant power reserves. Able to cope with real terrain as well as perform amazing banking feats on asphalt.
An enduro bike like no other BMW Motorrad has made before: an 800 cc machine with a full 85 hp and torque of 62 ft-lb weighing road-ready just 462 lbs! State-of-the-art engine management with highly economical fuel consumption, but abundant riding fun with powerful sound management, too: truly unstoppable! With a space frame which is not only has a high level of torsional stiffness but also allows room for lots of other highlights such as a large airbox and fuel tank under the seat. Fitted at the front with a 21-inch wheel which provides constant directional stability even over off-road stretches, at the rear with a full 17-inch wheel for the appropriate propulsion power – both naturally with robust spokes.
The dual disc at the front and the single disc at the rear make for a breathtaking braking performance, with further safety enhancement available from the optional ABS. The chassis is adapted to the off-road concept and has generous spring travel which can cope with the odd jump.
Even though this bike is perfect when it comes off the production line: it wouldn't be a BMW if there weren't an extensive range of special accessories available for it – so that you can make your BMW even more individual. This modern enduro – almost like a fun bike in its naked state – can thus be turned into an adventurous long-distance runner, not just visually but functionally too.
Fuel up with a quick test ride from your BMW Motorrad dealership – then start planning your first trip!

Mary Elizabeth Lease
Populist orator. Born: September 11, 1850, Ridgway, Pennsylvania. Died: October 29, 1933, Callicoon, New York.
Populist orator Mary Elizabeth Lease, who supposedly advised Kansas farmers to "raise less corn and more hell," was born Mary Clyens to Irish immigrant parents in Pennsylvania in 1850. In her later years, she claimed she had been born in 1853. At the age of twenty she came to Kansas to teach school in Osage Mission, and three years later she married Charles L. Lease, a local pharmacist. After unsuccessful farming ventures in Kingman County and in Texas, the Leases and their four children moved to Wichita, where Mary Elizabeth took a leading role in civic and social activities.
By 1890, her involvement in the growing revolt of Kansas farmers against high mortgage interest and railroad rates had placed her in the forefront of the People's (Populist) Party, and she traveled all over Kansas as well as the Far West and the South for the cause. She was a powerful and emotional speaker; Emporia editor William Allen White, who did not share her political views, wrote on one occasion that "she could recite the multiplication table and set a crowd hooting and harrahing at her will."
More an agitator than a practical politician, by 1896 Lease had become alienated from the Populist Party, and thereafter she turned to personal interests. She divorced her husband in 1902 and spent the rest of her life with one or another of her children in the East until her death in 1933.

Over half of couches in homes have potentially toxic or chemical flame retardants, according to a study published in the Environmental Science & Technology journal.
The companies manufacturing these products with flame retardant tell you "your safe at the levels your exposed to"……
Researchers tested for 49 flame retardant chemicals in household dust, which was the largest number of flame retardants ever tested in a peer-reviewed study.
The researchers detected 44 flame retardant chemicals, 36 of which were found in at least 50 percent of the samples taken from homes, some of which had levels that exceeded federal health guidelines.
The flame retardants found in house dust are in furniture, textiles, electronics, and other products, and included hormone disruptors, carcinogens, and chemicals with unknown safety profiles.
"Tris was phased out from use in baby pajamas back in 1977 because of its health risks, but it still showed up in 41 percent of the couch foam samples we tested," said Heather Stapleton, associate professor of environmental chemistry at Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment.
She said more manufacturers have been treating their couches' foam padding with chemical flame retardants to adhere to California Technical Bulletin 117, or TB 177. TB 177 requires all residential furniture sold in California to withstand a 12-second exposure to a small open flame without igniting.
Most manufacturers buy their foam padding from a vender who buys the chemicals to treat it from another vendor, so identifying the chemical flame retardant gets lost along the way.
The team analyzed 102 polyurethane foam samples from couches purchased for home use in the U.S. between 1985 and 2010.
The tests revealed that 17 percent of the foam samples contained the flame-retardant pentaBDE, which is banned in 172 countries and 12 U.S. states.
PentaBDEs are long-lasting chemicals that migrate into the environment and accumulate in living organisms. Studies have shown that the chemicals can disrupt endocrine activity and affect thyroid regulation and brain development.
After 2005, the researchers found that Tris was the most common flame retardant chemical found. They also identified two new flame-retardant chemical mixtures in more recently purchased couches.
"Overall, we detected flame-retardant chemicals in 85 percent of the couches we tested and in 94 percent of those purchased after 2005," Stapleton said. "More than half of all samples, regardless of the age of the couch, contained flame retardants that are potentially toxic or have undergone little or no independent testing for human health risks."
"If a couch has a California TB 117 label, you can all but guarantee it contains chemical flame retardants," Stapleton said. "But this is where labeling requirements get confusing: the lack of a TB 117 label on a couch does not guarantee the absence of chemical flame retardants. It's not that cut-and-dried."
She said that so many new proprietary chemical flame retardants have been introduced in recent years that it has become difficult for scientists to identify them all.
Dr. Julia Brody, executive director of the Silent Spring Institute and co-author of the study, said swapping one hazardous chemical for another is not good.
"When one toxic flame retardant is phased out, it's being replaced by another chemical we either know is dangerous or suspect may be," Brody said. "It's not comforting to swap one hazardous chemical for its evil cousin. Instead, we should test chemicals before they are allowed on the market."
One independent fire safety scientist disagrees with California's fire standard TB 117 label.
"The potential harm from fire retardant chemicals used in furniture is very concerning," Dr. Vytenis Babrauskas said. "My research found that the California fire standard provides no meaningful protection against the hazard it addresses – furniture ignited by small flames. In view of the toxicity of substances put into furniture foam to meet the California standard, the rule does more harm than good."

The only thing prettier to me than this world, is the world with the expressive figurative poetry of yoga dancing within it.
Cuba has always fascinated me and I had taken several photo expeditions there between 2000 and 2002. However, this last trip was different, as my focus was on integrating yoga within the gorgeous 1950's backdrop of the Revolutionary cityscape. I traveled with Rina Jakubowicz Bajos, a half Cuban Yogini, living in Miami. Through a project called "The Cuba Libre Yoga Project," we hope to celebrate the rich culture of Cuba, and inspire yogis around the world to visit, taking great care to mindfully support the growing Cuban yoga community. — Robert Sturman

DOVER, NH -- Victor and Lynne Brick, owners of the Brick Bodies chain in Maryland, recently purchased the rights to several Planet Fitness locations in their home state, according to Planet Fitness and World Gym President Ben Midgley.
The Bricks reportedly paid $850,000 in a deal that requires them to open 34 Planet Fitness clubs over the next 10 years.
"This purchase is really about broad industry acceptance that the [Planet Fitness] model works very well, as opposed to the past few years where people were thinking that Planet Fitness just hit the low-end consumer and hurt the market," Midgley says. "The Bricks are making a very smart strategic move that other multi-club operators could do as well. This purchase will complement their other clubs and allow them to hit each market segment in the communities they serve."
The Brick Bodies chain features seven clubs, five coed and two women-only clubs. The Bricks have also produced home-exercise videos and home fitness products.
"Planet Fitness serves a part of the market that is presently not being served," Victor Brick said. "We intend to continue to expand Brick Bodies and the Lynne Brick brand, but we think that the Planet Fitness brand complements it well."

RailCruising is the new tourist activity that allows people just like you the ability to travel along railway lines in your own powered self-drive, 4-seat railway vehicle called the RailCruiser.
Groups of RailCruisers spaced apart, travel 10km together in one direction from Mamaku Railway Station to Tarukenga Railway Station. At Tarukenga the Rail Cruisers are then turned and head back to Mamaku.
Cruising along at 20km/hr, you can listen to the audio tour and discover a unique piece of New Zealand railway history. This is the ultimate way to experience a railway.
The RailCruiser V3000 is the world's first fully automated, state of the art petrol-electric four seat self-drive hybrid rail vehicle. The RailCruiser has comfortable seats with unobstructed views, is fitted with clear drop down waterproof sides and comes with onboard heating.
Not many people are lucky enough to have ridden in the cab of a locomotive, but its this the kind of unique experience that inspired RailCruising, it's the freedom of being in your own RailCruiser with nothing ahead but the unobstructed curve of the rail stretching out into the distance and the clickety clack of the rail beneath you.
Prior to the start of each excursion a Rail Guide undertakes with all customers a trip safety briefing. In the briefing the customers have explained important safety requirements and given a brief overview of how the RailCruiser excursion will operate.
Each RailCruiser group of passengers is required to elect of one of their group to act as the RailCruiser driver. It is the RailCruiser driver's job to if required communicate with the Rail Guide on the radiotelephone, apply the brake in an emergency and activate the horn if needed.
Every aspect of the operation is covered by the company's Safety System, which is approved by the railway regulating body in New Zealand, the New Zealand Transport Agency.

Residents of the Pinecrest development say the Bluffton Parkway intersection they use to get in and out of their neighborhood leaves dangerously little separation from oncoming traffic.
The intersection where Crossings and Masters Way meets Bluffton Parkway near Buckwalter Parkway is a hazard to drivers using the median to turn, argues Phyllis Lambert, a resident who represented the neighborhood before the Beaufort County Council and Bluffton Town Council. Drivers making left turns from either side of the development are caught with minimal median space as cars whiz by too close for comfort, she said.
"There are a couple times a day when there isn't a lot of traffic, maybe midday, but the rest of the day…it's baby 278 out there," she said.
Lambert and others gathered 153 signatures among the more than 500 homes in the development. The petition calls for a traffic signal to remedy what they consider a lack of median space that leaves drivers exiting the development vulnerable to cars passing on both sides.
"You essentially get yourself at the edge where you can see more, but as soon as you get out someone's coming," said Carole Croteau, a retired Pinecrest resident who supported the petition.
"I have no clue what the solution would be, but I'd like to think another street light would help. It's an accident waiting to happen."
Over the past three years, the Bluffton Township Fire District - which typically comes out for more serious
incidents - responded to the intersection seven times. The Bluffton Police Department reported 15 collisions over the same period, while the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office logged two vehicle wrecks.
The county is responding with a study to check traffic volumes and determine whether a signal is warranted, said Colin Kinton, a traffic and transportation engineer. That could take two to three weeks, he added.
But Lambert said the danger goes beyond traffic counts and places school buses using the area as a stop at risk.
"You just can't judge this intersection by counting cars or the distance to Buckwalter," she said. "It is truly hazardous, and we really need your help."

Toms, the Los Angeles company known for its comfy, eco-friendly footwear and its shoes-donating ways, is tiptoeing into an unusual product line: coffee.
The philanthropic business, which sells shoes and eyewear under a One for One business model, made the announcement Tuesday in Austin, Texas, at the South by Southwest Interactive conference.
For every bag of coffee purchased, Toms said it will be able to provide a week's worth of clean water to a person in a developing country.
"Through my travels, I found that some of the greatest coffee comes from developing countries," said Toms founder Blake Mycoskie in a statement. "I learned that the largest ingredient in coffee is water, and that in many of the countries producing coffee, there are huge populations of people without access to safe water."
Citing a 2012 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill study, the company said 1.8-million people globally do not have access to safe, drinking water.
Toms Roasting Co., as the business will be called, will sell six coffee varieties from countries that include Honduras, Peru and Malawi. The 12-ounce bags of coffee will retail for $12.99 and will be sold at Whole Foods Markets, on Toms' website and at Toms cafes.
Toms, founded in 2006, began selling shoes with philanthropic intentions. For every pair sold, it donates a pair to someone in need in a developing country. In 2011, it expanded into eyewear and sales of those products helped the company donate glasses and fund glaucoma surgeries for people in other countries.
To date, the company has donated more than 10 million pairs of shoes and restored the eyesight of 200,000 people.
For its latest expansion, the company will work with Water for People, a nonprofit group that works to provide safe drinking water abroad.

Seven years ago, the Supreme Court rightly ruled that police couldn't conduct a warrantless search of a home shared by two people if one of the residents was present and objected. This week, the justices heard arguments in a case from California that threatens to make that decision a dead letter.
The court should reject the argument that police can get around a resident's objection to a warrantless search by arresting him and then seeking permission from his spouse or roommate.
That's what occurred in 2009 when police tracked a suspect in a robbery to a Los Angeles apartment. A woman who showed signs of having been beaten opened the door, and then Walter Fernandez appeared and objected to a search of the premises, saying, "I know my rights." Concerned about possible domestic violence, police took Fernandez into custody and arrested him on robbery charges. Later they returned to the apartment, where the woman gave them permission to conduct a search. It turned up gang paraphernalia, a knife and a gun.
Fernandez was convicted of robbery and domestic abuse and received a 14-year sentence. But on Wednesday, his lawyer argued that the search of Fernandez's apartment was illegal under Georgia vs. Randolph, the 2006 decision in which the court ruled that police couldn't search a married couple's house for illegal drugs after the husband objected — even though his wife had agreed.
At Wednesday's argument, Justice Sonia Sotomayor remarked that upholding Fernandez's conviction would mean that "there's nothing left to Randolph; the police just remove the person." A lawyer for the state of California suggested that there might be a difference between a valid arrest, such as the one in this case, and a ruse by police to lure a suspect away from his residence so that they could obtain a roommate's permission for a search. But given the ease with which police can place someone under arrest, that distinction doesn't offer much reassurance.
Sotomayor is right. If the court meant what it said in 2006 — that a warrantless search can't occur if one resident is on the scene and objects — then it must rule for Fernandez. Such a ruling wouldn't make it impossible for police to search the premises of people they have probable cause to believe committed a crime. As Fernandez's lawyer pointed out, it takes only 15 minutes on average for police in Los Angeles to obtain a warrant over the telephone. But it would make it less likely that police who lack probable cause would be able to invade the privacy of one citizen on the say-so of another.

Did you know that an eye exam can be the first clue to detecting diabetes and other hidden health concerns? Finding health issues early can give patients a better chance at preventing damage through early treatment and management.
A routine eye exam can show so many things. Some can be downright life changing – and life-saving – for that matter. One doctor found out first-hand when she did the same thing she does every day – she looked into a patient's eyes. But this was no ordinary exam.
When Kathleen Clary, OD, peered into her 48-year-old patient's eyes, she saw blood and other fluids seeping out of fragile and miniscule vessels in her retinas. The retina is the light and sight-sensing back part of the eye – and without it, you don't see.
"As soon as I noticed the leaking fluids and the hemorrhaging, I suspected that they might be symptoms of diabetes," recalls Dr. Clary, who practices in the Washington, D.C., suburb of Ashburn, Virginia. "In my 12 years of experience as an eye doctor, that kind of bleeding usually signals that a buildup of sugar in the patient's bloodstream has begun to break down the capillaries that feed the retina. The result is often what we call diabetic retinopathy – a condition in which continuing damage to retinal tissue from diabetes can lead to impaired vision or even blindness, if left untreated."
The eye exam was the very first clue the patient had that she might have diabetes.
Dr. Clary talked with her patient about what she saw and explained what it could mean. "I want you to have your blood sugar level checked right away by your family doctor," she told her patient. "Tell the doctor you need to be evaluated for diabetes with a fasting blood sugar test, because your optometrist noticed some retinal bleeding."
Dr. Clary was right – a medical exam the next day did indeed show the patient had diabetes. What's more, her blood sugar level was more than quadruple what's normal. Insulin therapy and a new approach to diet and exercise came next.
Fast forward a few months, and you'd find a much happier Dr. Clary – and much healthier patient. "The retinal bleeding had stopped, and her eyesight had begun to improve," says the Virginia doctor. "I think her vision has very likely been spared because she was able to catch her uncontrolled diabetes in the early stages, before major damage to her retina."
Dr. Clary calls it, "a very encouraging outcome. I'm glad I was able to help this patient protect her eyesight. That retinal exam really made a difference – and it's a good example of why I tell patients that a yearly eye exam can protect your vision and your health!"
Early stages of retinopathy can tag along with pre-diabetes. Dr. Anastasios Fokas, OD, of Queens, New York City, has seen for himself how quickly eye problems can start with pre-diabetes. A few months back, he saw a patient who had recently been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. To check for early eye problems, he did a dilated exam. Sure enough, the disease was already at work.
"Right away, I found two tiny spots of blood in the retina of one eye," he says. "Those blood spots were a sure sign of diabetic retinopathy."
Finding this early gave the patient a good shot at preventing more damage. "Dietary counseling, exercise and treatments, like laser therapy, can help," says Dr. Fokas.
Roughly 90% of diabetes-related blindness can be avoided by getting an annual eye exam. Make that all important appointment with your VSP network eye doctor today!
Recent health studies reveal that as many as 24,000 people lose their sight every year to diabetes and diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of blindness in the U.S. Here are some other surprising facts about diabetes.

What would be mini events planned for the future?
1. With regard to the impending attendance cap, as well as the lower than projected income we had this year (as it has been alleged though I don't know the numbers) which limits your ability to fund programmingand events, how do you plan to organize the convention events and panels in a way that utilize themoney alloted with out frivolities and still gives the Convention a lot to offer to it's attendees.
2. In coorespondance with the previous question, things will obviously have to be cut due to space and time constraints as we saw this previous year. What are your tentative or preliminary thoughts on events or panels that either were not worth the money and space, or took too much time out of theconvention attendant's and volunteers time so that they might be on the chopping block for k-con 2010?
Waste reduction, sorting, and recycling is something that citizens of the united states are (thankfully) becoming increasingly used to. It might not be a bad idea to have various boxes or small containers to pass around for specific types of 'scraps to recycle'.
As for programing already in place, What will you directors do to help keep events that you dislike organizing but are still popular going? I am most specifically talking about the Masquerade Ball, though others probably are too. I hear a lot of bitching about a real simple fix to at least one of the problems, but people don't seem to care to get them set straight. I do know you are all trying your best and hardest, and some things just don't get done because of time/resources/personnel to do it. I realize we had no mask making panel, and the website might not have been super easy to find the info on dress code (but easily enough that I found the info in little time) I would like to see the Masquerade Ball stay, and many others would too. If we need a mask making panel for 2010, if no one else, I could help run it, and I bet there are people that loved it this year that would help as well. Replies by all programing that ran this type of activity this year are welcome, thanks.
Yeah, the Masquerade may be one of the events on the chopping block, but it is by no means definite.
@ Masquerade--Perhaps we could keep the event, but hold it during the year, not at con?
Friday night content? I know that logistics are a whole different thing entirely, but is there a desire from you to have some content on Friday night before the con? Like maybe one panel room or a few viewing rooms?
Mini Events throughout the year. You mentioned they are done through outreach, but I'm sure you're involved in planning them. Is there any specific event you want to do again? Or maybe not do again?
Do you have an idea of how staff should balance their position with any panels they wish to run? For instance, should staff running panels also help with the panel staffers around that timeslot?
Do you think that the con could in any way formalize the cosplay group meet ups to avoid scheduling difficulties with panels related to certain anime?
When can panelists sign up for next year? (after elections... but then when?)
Along the line of Masquerade Ball:* Do you think that would be a candidate for a 'pre convention' Friday Night event?* Would you make it an 18+ event?* As mentioned elsewhere (I forget where at the exact moment) would you rename it to something like 'Formal Dress Masquerade Ball' to make it easier for everyone to understand the rules?
Quote from: RemSaverem on September 16, 2009, 10:58:22 am@ Masquerade--Perhaps we could keep the event, but hold it during the year, not at con?I second this notion~ b
Here's a question:If you were not running Prog, what kinds of questions would you ask of the person who is? What kinds of suggestions would you make?If you had the ability to do so, is there any part of the department you would restructure, redesign, reconceptualize?
It was not called 'Formal Dress Masquerade Ball' because formal dress was not required.. it was semi-formal or cosplay. I don't think that renaming it as such would necessarily make it any easier to understand that there is a dress code, or what it is. We tried to make it as clear as we could this year.. it was on the website, it was discussed on the forums, and it was in the con book.
Quote from: Jamiche on September 22, 2009, 06:55:35 pmIt was not called 'Formal Dress Masquerade Ball' because formal dress was not required.. it was semi-formal or cosplay.

We tried to make it as clear as we could this year.. it was on the website, it was discussed on the forums, and it was in the con book.It was on the website under contests......... really need an "Events" tab on the main page.
Everyone has been asking great questions, I can't think of one to add. My suggestions would be to make sure there is a balance in the programming, and to not let personal bias dictate it. Just because you may think that a certain event is the best ever, doesn't mean everyone else does too. Not everyone is into Cosplay, or Gaming, or watching anime, so you need to take all interests into account when you are scheduling things.
As for Programming itself.. no, I wouldn't restructure or reorganize anything. IMO, Programming has some great staffers, and things have run pretty well over the past couple of years. I think we have a pretty good system in place, and I don't see any great need in messing with that system
As usual, Pocky Club needs to know, what is your favorite flavor of Pocky.
Just a couple quick things, if you have time, which I understand if you don't. What are the best ways to streamline getting panelists reimbursed for materials they buy for their panels? Would you forsee a move towards all materials being purchased by you or your assistant or managers, as being preferable? (Please see also email sent today, thanks and love!).Are there any either types of programming, or ways of structuring or administering programming departments, that you have observed at other cons, be they anime, sci fi, or other, that you would like to either emulate, or learn from and avoid? (You don't have to name names of other cons to reply )
This is why my preference is that the con buys the supplies... rhe panelists don't need to pay out of their pockets, and there is no concern with reimbursements and lost receipts.
And overall, I'm happy with the way our content runs... I can't think of another con that we are wanting to, or needing to, emulate. We may have hiccups each year, but we learn and fix them for next

Cornerback DeAngelo Hall isn't sure whether he'll return to the Redskins for another season, but he'll have a surgically repaired finger either way.
Mike Jones of the Washington Post reports that Hall had surgery to repair a fractured right pinkie finger on Tuesday. Hall had ligament damage repaired and pins were placed in the finger to help it heal. He'll have the pins removed in a couple of weeks and will wear a splint for a month. If those timelines hold, he'll be ready in plenty of time to start the offseason program.
It's just a matter of which offseason program he'll be starting. Hall said earlier this month that he's willing to talk about restructuring his contract, which also includes a scheduled $9 million for the 2014 season. There's not much chance he's seeing all of that money so it will just be a question of whether or not he can agree on a new price with the Redskins.
Per Jones, Hall played about half the year after suffering the injury. He had 95 tackles and four interceptions for the Redskins during the regular season.
