"The Heavens Declare the Glory of God"
There are few things in life that
are as lovely as a spring sunrise. I
saw one the other morning that al-most
took my breath away. The
early morning was quiet with a
quietness that seemed unbelievable
in the city—as if even the relentless
and unheeding voices of industry
had paused for a moment to watch
the phenomenon of the grey dawn's
transformation into a brilliant,
blushing morning.
So quickly at the touch of a Mas-ter
hand is a thing of drabness re-created
into a thing of soul-bursting
First there was only the rose tint-ed,
heralding flush, overspreading
all the eastern sky; but it was quick-ly
followed by a hundred flashing,
blood-red rays shooting madly,
eagerly up into the waiting sky.
And, then, even as I stood in breath-less,
awed anticipation, the sun rose
in blinding glory.
With the sun's rising, there arose
in my heart a new consciousness of
the Master's Presence; a new long-ing
for the touch that transfigures;
and a new throbbing, nameless joy
that life and youth were mine. With
eyes that still reflected the miracle
of the dawn, I looked about me, and
knew that not only the eastern sky;
not only my life; but the whole
world had somehow changed because
a sun had risen.

Plans Made,
Pictures Taken
For 1938 Spire
Individuals Pose, Group
Pictures Taken
Group pictures, snapshots, proofs,
layouts, sketches, and dummies are
important and frequent words about
the Clarion office since work is be-ing
pushed to complete the 1938
Spire shortly before the school year
ends. Group pictures were taken
March 10 for the activities. Instruc-tors
and senior candidates for grad-uation
have been visiting the photo
studio during a two-week period.
"The Spire" made its first appear-ance
on Bethel campus last Spring.
No annual had been published pre-viously
for several years.
According to plans the 1938 Spire
will have 24 pages and be 9 inches
by 6 inches in size. The contents
will include: dedication, short his-tory
of school, individual pictures of
the faculty and graduating seniors,
group pictures of the undergradu-ates,
group pictures of the school ac-tivities
and informal pages of snap-shots.
General arrangements are: pic-tures,
layouts, Harold Wilson; snap-shots,
Dale Jensen; art, Carolyn Nel-son;
and copy writer, Luetta
Schmidt. Dean Emery Johnson is
business adviser to the group.
Bethel Women Fete
Nurses at Party
A St. Patrick's Day party honor-ing
the nurses from Mounds-Mid-way
Hospitals was given by the
Bethel Women's association on the
evening of March 14, with about one
hundred nurses and Bethel women
attending. The program, decora-tions,
and refreshments carried out
the St. Patrick's Day motif.
The program consisted of vocal
solos by Margaret Larson, piano
solos by Ruth Fredine; a humorous
spring style show by Evangeline
Wingblade, Margaret Larson and
Dorothy Drotz, a welcome to the
nurses by Ruth Tegenfeldt, presi-dent
of the B.W.A., and devotions
led by Gladys Peterson.
Numerous games were played,
and the girls were taken on a tour
of the buildings.
Committees in charge of the party
were as follows: committee in
charge: Esther Schlipf, chairman,
Florence Dunning, Vivyonne Ek-strum:
refreshment committee: Flor-ence
Lindstrom, chairman, Muriel
Trowbridge and Henrietta Carlson;
properties committee: Audrey Mar-tin,
chairman and Jean Tretsven;
assistants with decoration: Maxine
Luhman and Margaret Larson.
"The Bible is God speaking per-sonally
to you."
"You are no stronger than the
Word of God that is in you."

Doris Lundquist Wins
First in Declam.
"The Sign of the Cross" was the
topic with which Doris Lundquist
of Superior, Wisconsin, placed first
in the College Club Declamatory
Contest on Wednesday evening,
March 9. Ned Holmgren won sec-ond
place with "Antony's Funeral
Oration for Julius Caesar." Robert
Peterson gave "The Dying Alchem-ist,"
and Olga Shenning gave "An
Order for a Picture." The contest-ants
were judged by the audience.
Ruth Fredine favored the audi-ence
with two piano selections, and
Esther Schlipf rendered two clar-inet
solos. Luetta Schmidt led in de-votions.
A social hour in the Coffee Shoppe
followed, with games led by Gus-tave

Clarion Staff Members
Hold Trial, Box Social
"Room Rant" will continue as a
column in the Clarion! The girl's
dorm attempted to convict the writer
on a charge of libel at a Clarion
party held in the college March 18
but the columnist emerged victori-ous.
In the trial, "Girls' Dorm versus
Maxine Luhman," Gustave Ferre ap-peared
as prosecuting attorney and
Ned Holmgren as attorney for the
defense. Bob Seline acted as Bailiff.
Judge Gordon Peterson dramatically
closed the trial saying that the
whole thing was a farce and that
Maxine Luhman, defendant, was ac-quitted.
The social hour featured an old-fashioned
box social with Bruce
Fleming acting as auctioneer.
Packing their lunch in a package
that represented a long green worm
and entitled, "A Diet of Worms,"
Carolyn Nelson, Luetta Schmidt,
and Henrietta DeCamp took first
place for originality in baskets. Sec-ond
place went to Helen Ward and
Olga Shenning with a Shamrock
shaped box and third to Vivyonne
Ekstrum and Maxine Luhman.
Male Chorus Appears in
Minneapolis Church
A concert sponsored by the Bethel
Institute Women's Federation was
presented by the Bethel Male Chorus
Friday evening, March 11, at the
First Swedish Baptist Church of
Professor George Hultgren direct-ed
the chorus in the numbers: "Salu-tation"
by Richert; "Were You
There" by McLeod; "Thanks Be To
God" by Dickson; "The Vast Un-numbered
Throng" by Bronson; and
"Land Sighting" by Grieg.
Individual and group parts on the
program were: Ruth Fredine, and
Professor Bergman, Piano Duet;
two numbers by the mixed quartet;
vocal solos by Margaret Larson and
John Valine; reading, Roger Good-man;
and greetings by Dr. K. J.
Freshmen Present,
"The Apostle Paul
Comes Back."
Paul Lundgren Has Part
Of Great Missionary
"The Apostle Paul Comes Back"
tonight, March 25, at 8 o'clock! Paul
Lundgren, Junior College freshman,
impersonating the Apostle, will come
into a modern home (arranged on
the chapel platform) and talk and
act as the first-century saint prob-ably
would have done.
The entire program will be cen-tered
around the family life in the
comfortable American home. Sev-eral
musical numbers as well as a
roll of films on missions will be in-terspersed
into the evening pro-gram.
The characters in the family
whom Paul visits are: Professor and
Mrs. Watson, taken by Arvid Ed-blom
and Muriel Trowbridge; and
their two children, Mary and James,
by Doris Lundquist and George
Darry. Friends dropping in to see
them are: Dorothy Beckman, Ruth
Olson, Wyman Hanson, and Hilton
Hanson, these four also comprising
a quartet. Other musical numbers
are: a trumpet trio made up of
Wyman Hanson, Arthur Slaikeu,
and Ernest Norquist; and Esther
Schlipf and Henrietta DeCamp will
play a clarinet duet.
Truman Halvorson acted as chair-man
of the program committee with
Neoma Sund, Maxine Luhman, Gor-don
Carlson, and Ernest Norquist as
members. Mr. Reuben Nelson, class
adviser, played an important part by
writing the dramatization. Various
students have advertised the pre-sentation
by short talks in several
Twin City churches; posters have
been put up; and handbills have
been distributed.
Mumps and Appendicitis
Send Several to Bed
Mumps and appendicitis seem to
be vying among Bethel students for
supremacy. At present mumps is
leading with a victim list of nine,
and appendicitis follows with a list
of three. For several weeks the third
floor music room served as a quar-antined
sick room, but when as
many as three students were seized
with mumps at the same time, Mr.
and Mrs. Beck opened up their
home to the patients, with Alrik
Blomquist acting as chief nurse. The
appendicitis patients are convales-cing
at the Midway and Deaconess
The mump list includes: Dale Jen-sen,
Bennet Carlson, Gordon Peter-son,
Jack Bergeson, Paul Lundgren,
Cyril Allen, Lorayne Forrest, Vivian
Larson, and Peggy Larson.

Race Prejudice
Recent newspaper reports state that a num-ber
of the foremost Jewish physicians of Aus-tria
are fleeing from their homeland. Several
have committed suicide rather than face dom-inant
Nazism. All Jewish leaders are finding
life very insecure these days.
It is a sad state of affairs when men skilled
in the professions must suffer persecution from
race prejudice. True professional men are not
particularly interested in politics. The doctor
is interested in medicine, the lawyer with law,
and the preacher with his preaching.
Racial prejudice is not so interested in what
man can give to aid humanity. Doctor, lawyer,
politician are in one class, a hated racial class,
and they must be stamped out. Science and
culture halt because men's horizons are limited
to nationalistic ideals.
Perhaps some time we will learn to respect
all men, of all races and colors and the growth
of science and culture will not be hindered by
the ignorance and narrowness of man.
Pegasus or Plug
To the Editor of the Bethel Clarion:
Sir: Does my caption provoke speculation or curi-osity?
No doubt it would elucidate matters to word
it "Poetry or Prose?" or "What is Poetry?", but this
one seemed so suggestive and arresting (or does it?)
that my puny nature quite vanquished my scruples.
Ever since I was able to lisp the soul searching
poem that begins with the immortal words, "This
little piggy . . . ," I have had a consuming passion
to write a poem. Often, oh so often, have I paid open
court to that haughty Muse, but she has always
repulsed my advances with either disdainful silence
or meaningless words; and so I feel, rejected suitor
that I am, I have enough cynicism and disillusioned
desires to warrant my writing critically on the sub-ject
of poetry.
Now Pegasus as every one knows is the winged
horse of Greek mythology who typifies inspired
poetry; while a plug, in the vernacular of the street
which we all know so well, is a plodding member
of the equine family who goes through life two jumps
ahead of a milk wagon. It would appear then that
even a Bethel student were he suddenly confronted
by these two horses should be able to point to Pegasus
and exclaim ecstatically, "That's Peggy, ain't she
marvellous?", or on the other hand, grasping his
proboscis 'twixt thumb and forefinger, look scorn-fully
at the plug and remark, "Jeepers, don't he
reek!" But is that the case?
Somehow or other the stables have a way of re-versing
themselves, we place the plug on sacred Mt.
Hippocrene and relegate poor Pegasus to a stall in
limbo or what is worse confine him entirely to the
classroom. There now! Isn't that a scathing indict-ment
for me to hurl about so recklessly? Would
that it were but a jest, but, oh the tragedy of it all,
it's so glaringly true. Edgar Guest and his prolific
progeny are reverently accorded places of honor and
esteem while poor Browning and Shelley are left to
blush and sing unseen and unheard. Why just the
other day a plug plodded into our own school and
was acclaimed by many as a veritable Christian
Pegasus, but, while casting no reflections on the
rheumatic man riding the plug, somehow or other
my hypercritical mind couldn't quite reconcile the
rhyming of "ease" with "B.V.D.'s". Granted that a
man may be hard-pressed for descriptive words at
times, still I firmly believe that one must draw
the line somewhere. Yet, frankly, that plug didn't
bother me a great deal for I realized that it was
here today and gone tomorrow, but the thing that
really ruffled up my spirit was to hear some of the
students stoutly maintain that it was bona fide
poetry and none of this stuff Keats tried to pawn off
on us. I beg your pardon, now I'm becoming pug-nacious,
a very unfair thing for a columnist to do for
if he arouses opposition it hasn't an opportunity to
fight back. Perchance, there is something construc-tive
to say on the subject.
You might ask me, "What is poetry then, Smarty?",
and you'll have me in a position where I'd have to
resort to glaring at you and baring my teeth or else
refer you to your English professor. For poetry is
something "that the world's coarse thumb and fingers
cannot plumb"; it is indefinable; it defies analysis.
Now I find myself becoming too serious, but bear
with me while I tack on one wee thought more.
Poetry is not an elaborate and arbitrary way of say-ing
something which might have been more simply
and effectively told in prose, but poetry embraces—
that which is most beautiful and vital in life and
through the magic casements of suggestion and
imagination opens our eyes to the world we live in.
"What is that dullard driving at with all this un-intelligible
gibber?", I can hear some readers bland-ly
asking. Just this—Don't plod around on spavined
old plugs when Pegasus stands impatiently chiding
its bit, waiting to show you what a real ride is like.
I'm extremely sorry that I allowed myself to be-come
so serious about this subject but I had a dread
suspicion when I began that things would fall out
this way. Yet I simply can't find it in me to close
so solemnly, so here's a poem for you to analyze
and classify as you will.
Proof for the Antiquity of the Microbe:
Had 'em.
Yours for Pegasus,
As we observe signs of the approach of
Spring becoming more pronounced about us,
we are reminded that it is the season of the
year when Christ was victorious over death.
This season is often a time when we have
special meetings in our churches and our
efforts are spent in winning new converts.
Is not Easter the Day of days in the year
for Christians? What are we doing to pre-pare
our lives for Easter?
We find examples of preparation for the
Great Day in the Life of Christ and His
disciples. In Luke 9:51 we read that "he
stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem."
In His acts from this time on we find a
preparation for that Event when He should
arise, a living Savior. Several times Christ
took His disciples aside and told them about
His coming death and resurrection.
Although we do not observe the Lenten
season as some denominations do, their
thought of special preparation for Easter is
one that we can well consider. In a special
way during these pre-Easter days Christ
should become to us more than ever one who
suffered for us upon the Cross, and also arose
again from the dead as a proof of immor-tality.
The Cross and the Empty Tomb are
the two great emblems of the Christian faith.
Shall we not glory in them?
Ruth Tegenfeldt.
Speaking of Humans—
Who has not seen the small boy
or girl step forth proudly displaying
a new pair of shining shoes? Who
has not seen the older child jubi-lantly
pedaling down the street on
his new bicycle, or the young man
or young woman gayly stepping out
arrayed in most anything new?
Humans are built thus from the
very foundation. It is our nature to
delight in the acquisition and en-joyment
of the pretty shining things
of life, on a supposedly rising scale
of worthfulness. The person in mid-dle
life, grown up, and having laid
aside (?) childish things, glories
more worthily in houses and furni-ture
and clubs and social grada-tions.
He will work hard and suffer
much to achieve a little feeling of
distinction somehow above the corn-mon
run. The innocent pride of the
small boy with his shining boots
was not so different. It has now be-come
a trifle more sedate and ma-ture.
In truth, the pride which the
man of affairs feels as he glides
down the street on a Sunday after-noon
in his shining Cadillac, is not
so different from that which the
child felt with his humblest first
possession. It's humanity all over
The aged man or woman has per-haps
grown a little indifferent to
one type of finery or "shinery" but
glories as much in another, that of
goodly sons and kindly daughters
and clever and precocious grand-children.
So is life to the end. And,
as "we shuffle off this mortal coil,"
our final pride, could we but be
aware of it, would be the type and
quality of the "box" in which our
bedecked remains are laid. Human-ity
is ever human.
But wise is he who refuses to be
enticed by the passing glow and
tinsel of this evanescent existence.
The great Teacher said, "Seek ye
first the Kingdom of God." The
great apostle declared that "the
things which are seen are tempor-al;
but the things which are not
seen are eternal." Though the good
Lord did not intend that we deny
ourselves all the little joys of life,
he certainly enjoined upon us not
"to labor for the meat which per-isheth,"
but to "lay up treasures"
in the Heavens beyond. Following
Heaven's law is surely a wiser
course than being always so hum-anly
human. The wisest of all an-cients
declared that "he that win-neth
souls is wise." We prefer to be

Alexis Program Given
By Girls' Trio Groups
Prominent preachers of the past
were featured on the "Girls' Trio"
program at the Alexis meeting of
March 16. Musical numbers were
rendered by the Girls' Trio compos-ed
of Doris Moberg, Dorothy Beck-man,
and Ruth Olson. Another
girls' trio presented the three talks
of the evening. Luetta Schmidt
spoke on "Billy Sunday," Florence
Lindstrom, "Dwight L. Moody," and
Marie Dahlberg, "Charles H. Spur-geon."
Two extemporaneous numbers
were also features of the program.
The regular extemporaneous topic
which was "What attitude should
Christians show toward the govern-ment
and the laws of the country?"
was treated by Robert Peterson.
Harold Wilson acted as extempo-raneous
critic of the evening.
The devotional period was led by
Carl Lindman. Andrew Sinkiewicz
presided at the meeting.

"Hudor Ballos" Entertained
By Fellow Member
The seminary Middlemen, better
known as the "Hudor Ballos," and
lady friends were invited to the
home of Wilbur Sorley, Minneapolis
for a house party, March 8.
Entertainment took the form of
pick up sticks, carroms, and stunts.
Lunch and a devotional period
climaxed the evening.
Elizabeth Larson '26, and Thora
Johnson '31, met in New York City
recently. They spent two days to-gether,
attending the Seventeenth
Anniversary of the New York
Church and visiting points of inter-est.
For six weeks Adelle Carlson '26,
was quarantined with scarlet fever.
Esther Nelson '29, is teaching in
Chinook, Washington. This is her
third year there.
Mabel Harlis writes that she en-joys
her work in Fullerton, Cal-ifornia.
Hanna Omark finds her work with
the Juniors in the Kewanee church
very encouraging.
From the lands across the sea we
hear that:
Fortunata S a 1 m o r i n Bellasillo,
Philippine Islands, is having trouble
with her hearing. Prayers are re-quested
for her recovery.
Signe Erickson, Philippine Islands,
recently attended a conference on
religious education in Manila. While
there she visited with the family of
Fortunata Salmorin Bellasillo.
Mrs. Marcus Fritzell and daughter,
Fairy Ann, are on their way home
from Africa. They expect to arrive
in New York about April 1.
Reuben Holm '29, Assam, India,
recently had an accident with his
car while driving in a fog. Toneram,
a native evangelist who was with
him, was badly hurt. Mr. Holm es-caped
without injury.
Great changes are taking place in
India daily. Eric Frykenberg '29,
writes. "The Christian community
is facing a crisis. Persecutions have
increased since the new national
government came into power. Yet,
this has proved a blessing to us.
The greater enemy and danger is
sin and weakness on the inside of
our churches. We need a revival
all over our fields."

Three Victories
On February 16, the Bethel cagers
invaded the Concordia college floor
to take two games. The Bethel "B"
team took the "B" team of Concor-dia
to the tune of 21-16. This was
followed in like manner with the
"A" team taking their game at 36-32.
The last few minutes of the game
almost proved a Bethel loss, but a
time out period stemmed a lively
Concordia attack.
Richert and Young, totaling to-gether
23 points, showed the best
offensive drive on the floor.
Second Concordia Conflict
A similar dealing was given the
Concordia team on Bethel's floor,
February 23. The final score was
45-30. A clicking Bethel team play-ed
championship ball; playing both
a driving offensive and a well-groomed
defensive game.
Luther Licked
A road trip took the squad into
New Ulm, February 25, where
Bethel clashed with the Luther Col-lege
team. Richert was high point
man of the game with 16 points.
Seehusen and Muller each totaling
9 points, led the Luther team scor-ing.
The final score favored Bethel,
Bethany Beats
The hardest game of the year cli-maxed
the entire season. A scrappy
game, increased by home enthusia-asm
(the medium being a few in-terested
coeds from Bethel), banged
up knees, sore muscles; the game
had plenty of what it takes to make
it interesting. Gulberg was Beth-any's
high point man with 12 points
while Richert led Bethel with 10.
Final score, Bethany 40, Bethel 28.
Girls Close Season
The girls ended their season in a
tilt with the All-Star selection from
the Twin City Church League on
March 12. The score was 12-7. E.
Schlipf pointed 6 and M. Larson 4
to give the Bethel girls' team their
final victory. After the game a tro-phy
was presented to the girls as
an award for winning the Twin City

Teams Have Party
Revenge tasted sweet to the
Bethel Theologians as they took a
victory from the collegians at the
intra-mural basketball game Mon-day
evening, March 21.
The teams scored evenly until the
last quarter when the Seminary
gained an 8 point lead. The final
score was 24-32. Wilbur S. topped
the Seminary list with 10 points
while Arvid E. from the college
gained a similar number.
All the players from the girls'
and boys' teams gathered in the
girls' recreational room for a social
time after the game. Coach Adam
led the group in several games.
Afterwards the group was called
to the Coffee Shoppe for apple pie

Click a question to view an answer.
1. How can I tell where the seafood at the store came from and how it was caught?
2. Where can I go to find the best choices in seafood?
3. Will the wait-staff at my favorite restaurant be able to answer my questions when I ask where a certain fish came from, or how it was caught?
4. If there are tons of shrimp out there, what's wrong with eating shrimp?
5. I am just one person, how can my seafood choices really help?
6. Is farmed seafood better for the environment than seafood from the wild?
1. How can I tell where the seafood at the store came from and how it was caught?
We have found that American west coast markets label fish more precisely and extensively than they do on the east coast. So we know it can be done. Still, many markets and restaurants give only the common name for seafoods, and do not specify which ocean the species came from, or how it was caught. Some seafood counters and menus will selectively use labels to promote popular seafoods such as "Alaska salmon" or "New Zealand mussels," but that is the exception. Furthermore, some farmed salmon is being sold as "Atlantic salmon," even if it was an Atlantic species raised in the Pacific. This certainly leaves many questions. The conservation community is working together with members of the seafood industry to find ways to ensure that every fish has a label indicating its species name and place of origin. Until there is more information, don't be dismayed when you go to select seafood. Instead, just ask where the seafood has come from. And if the person at the counter or the waitperson does not know, tell them why you care! It may take time, but the market will follow.
2. Where can I go to find the best choices in seafood?
Some restaurants and grocery stores are catching on quickly to consumers' widespread use of various seafood lists. They are realizing that the public has a real interest in having more sustainable seafood choices. Check your local stores to find out if they offer the choices you're seeking. Our partner, Whole Foods Market provides a variety of sustainable seafood options and makes choosing the best seafood easy with their clear seafood rating labels. Other alternatives are on-line seafood retailers, such as EcoFish.com, who feature the most sustainable species and who will deliver to your home, or will supply restaurants, caterers, and grocery stores.
3. Will the wait-staff at my favorite restaurant be able to answer my questions when I ask where a certain fish came from, or how it was caught?
Remember the expression, "Rome was not built in a day?" Well, awareness about seafood issues will not grow overnight. We are in the early stage of a movement to promote best practices in the seafood industry. While some servers may understand your concerns and be ready to answer your questions, for others your questions may be the first they have ever received. Have patience and feel good about your role as a responsible consumer, AND a leader.
4. If there are tons of shrimp out there, what's wrong with eating shrimp?
For some types of seafood–and shrimp is one example–the problem is not how many are caught, but how they're caught. Shrimp boats use large nets called "trawls" which shrimpers drag along the bottom to catch shrimp. Unfortunately, shrimp are not the only species that are caught. For each pound of shrimp caught, 4 to 10 pounds of unwanted marine life–bycatch–are caught; most of which are discarded and die. While U.S. shrimp fishermen have been successful in reducing the numbers of sea turtles that get caught in their nets, bycatch reduction efforts are still inadequate in some regions. And in addition to bycatch problems, shrimp trawls can cause serious habitat damage as the nets drag along the bottom. Shrimp farming is not an acceptable alternative as many farms destroy natural habitat and create pollution or disease problems. The good news is that there are alternative ways to catch shrimp that are less-damaging than trawl caught or farmed shrimp. These less-damaging shrimp traps are being used in Alaska and California.
5. I'm just one person, how can what I choose to eat really help?
By choosing your seafood wisely, you can help shift demand away from fish and shellfish that are overfished or poorly managed towards those that are in better shape. Remember that the seafood selections you see in the supermarket and on restaurant menus are there because people are demanding them. You can contribute to the movement that encourages better fisheries management and abundance in the seas by letting your local market and restaurants know what you'd like to see and why. Restaurant and market owners are most successful when they listen to their customers' requests. If enough people ask for a particular kind of seafood, the demand will become great enough to make it profitable to sell it. Remind your local seafood sellers that you are not part of a boycott, but rather you are simply asking that they offer more sustainable choices. And when you tell all the seafood lovers you know to choose their seafoods wisely, you are no longer one person, and you are helping to create the movement.
6. Is farmed seafood better for the environment than seafood from the wild?
As frustrating as it may seem when you are looking for a "yes" or "no" answer, the real answer is "it depends." Aquaculture, or the farming of fish, is a booming industry and can take the pressure off some depleted wild fish. But not all. For example, farmed catfish and tilapia are increasingly popular with seafood lovers and can be a smart alternative when they're raised in closed-systems where wastes are controlled and there is little chance of the fish escaping. These fish are also fed a vegetable-based diet such as corn and soy-based feed. Other farmed species such as Atlantic salmon can be more problematic. In places like the Pacific, they can escape and threaten native species with diseases. And when some farmed species like salmon are fed large quantities of wild caught fish, we're not really conserving fish. By following the advice of organizations that have transparent methods of rating farmed seafood, you can ensure that you are making choices that help solve the problem. The Safina Center only rates wild-caught seafood. For farmed fish ratings, check our partner's website: Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch®.

Check out five clips from the bizarre movie Bunraku, which looks like it was ripped from the womb of Frank Miller. Plus, the absolutely gorgeous scifi blaxploitation trailer Soul Man and a super-adorable alien janitor! All in this week's Cult Movie Worship.
No, Bunraku is not another Frank Miller flick. Quite the contrary — the buzz surrounding Guy Moshe's martial arts movie — which stars Josh Hartnett, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Ron Perlman, Kevin McKidd, and Gackt — has actually been fairly positive.
This zany film — which appears to have been shot inside a Bazooka Joe bubble gum wrapper — takes place in a future where bullets have been outlawed. This means lots and lots of fist-fighting and bat-swinging. Plus, you've got Ron Perlman in dreads, which is pretty spectacular in of itself. Take a look at the clips now. Bunraku is currently playing in select theaters.
A mysterious drifter (Josh Hartnett) and an ardent young Japanese warrior on a mission both arrive in a town that is totally terrorized by outrageous and virulent criminals. Each obsessed with his separate mission; the two eventually join forces to bring down the corrupt and contemptuous reign of NICOLA, the awesomely evil "woodcutter." This classic tale is re-vitalized and re-imagined in an entirely fresh visual context, set in a unique world that mixes skewed reality with shadow-play fantasy, a place where even the landscape can betray you. Heroes triumph here only because the force of their will transforms and transcends both space and time. The world of BUNRAKU is past and present, fantasy and reality, Samurai and Western all combined. Resonating with any number of cultures, and showcasing a mind-blowing array of martial arts disciplines, Bunraku presents a totally fresh arena for breathtaking fight action.
Soul Man
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. We can not wait for Guillaume Ivernel's scifi blaxploitation flick Soul Man. Can. Not. Wait. The music, the look, the style, the hair, even the way the main character stands up is ridiculous perfection. Check out this brand new quickie teaser trailer set in a multi-touch world. What's the film about? We're not sure. But wherever the lady in the purple glasses goes, so shall we. We'll make sure to keep you all informed on release dates. Thanks for the tip, Jon!
Alien Repair Guy
Dead Snow, Troll Hunter, and now this amazing alien janitor short? The fine folk of Norway are quickly becoming one of my favorite suppliers of excellent science fiction. Check out Alien Repair Guy, the latest bit of genre awesome from directing duo Alexander Somma and Øystein Moe (who work under the name Helmet). The short is exactly as it sounds, an alien comes to Earth to fix a problem. But the clip below is absolutely astounding. It's simply gorgeous, watch.
A clever and amusing Sci-Fi story that reveals who is really controlling us – and the things that happen over our heads. Careless and ignorant road workers have destroyed Earth's control box, so the entire world grinds to a halt. An alien janitor arrives in Trondheim for a seemingly routine repair job. But he accidentally discovers a hidden control panel and the temptation is irresistible – with strange consequences.
For more stills and images head over to Twitch.
Tape 407
This new found footage feature is one part Lost, two parts Jurassic Park (or really a little more like Lost World). Survivors of a crashed flight finds themselves stranded on an island full of blood-thirsty government experiments that lay eggs and have snouts like a raptor. This flick is directed by Dale Fabrigar and Everette Wallin.
One of Hollywood's most terrifying new films, Tape 407, features footage that feels too real for reality and too disturbing for fiction. The film opens with two teenagers flying from New York to Los Angeles on New Years Eve. Their nightmare begins when their plane hits extreme turbulence mid-flight. The relentless weather attack causes panic and terror amongst the passengers until the plane ultimately crashes in a remote government-testing area. The handful of survivors from the crash, bloody and disoriented, are then insistently pursued in the darkness by unknown predators that, unbeknownst to them, are part of the government's top-secret Mesa Experiment. The film will take moviegoers on a whirlwind ride, with a twist ending that will leave you breathless, shocked, and terrified.

Asia Pacific Chairman, Peter Barge and Director of Project & Development Services, Shanghai, Cynthia Chan recognized for outstanding achievements
Singapore, 14 April 2009 – Jones Lang LaSalle has won two prestigious industry accolades at the RFP Outstanding Individuals in Industry Awards 2009. The awards, which is in its second year, celebrate the contributions of professionals who make up the industries of the built environment in Asia Pacific.
Sandalwood, a full service premium property provider of retail asset management and development services across Asia now has more than 400 employees serving a significant client base across Asia. The company currently manages over 45 assets with 2.2 million sq m in net lettable area and has offices across India, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore with a mandate to grow in the region.
The 86,000 sq ft, five-storey House of Barbie combines retail, large scale interactive activities, F&B, spa, fashion runway, product launches and club membership under one roof. It is the first ever "concept" and "experience" store with the largest investment by Mattel across the world, that would offer customers a unique "alternative reality" shopping experience.
Ashford Pritchard, Managing Editor, RFP Magazine says, "The RFP Outstanding Individuals in Industry Awards recognise the often overlooked personal achievements of professionals within the industries of the built environment, and this year, we were blown away by the quality and accomplishments of the nominees. Peter's role in the creation of Sandalwood created a new regional force in retail consultancy, while Cynthia was instrumental in bringing one of the year's most exciting projects to completion. Both Peter and Cynthia have scaled the heights of their respective fields and it is fitting that the judging panel chose to commend their excellence."

The Commerce Department reported the deficit on international trade in goods and services was $41.5 billion in September, up from $24.9 billion prior to the economic recovery.
Imported oil and subsidized imports from China account for nearly all of the $500 billion annual trade gap. Dollars spent abroad that do not return to buy U.S. exports reduce demand for U.S. goods and services, and slack demand is the principal reason for slow growth and jobs creation in the United States.
In 2009, stimulus spending and additional tax cuts increased domestic spending by $1 trillion and jump-started growth, but those tripled the federal deficit.
In 2010, consumer spending accelerated—deleveraging, as measured by new consumer credit ended—and the recovery had its best year—GDP grew 2.4 percent.
(Read More: Weekly Jobless Claims Edge Lower; Trade Deficit Shrinks)
However, too many stimulus and consumer dollars went abroad to purchase more oil and other imports, principally from China, and too many stimulus dollars were squandered on dead-end projects like failed solar panel manufacturer Solyndra or electric vehicle technologies that failed. Those kept the initial recovery from accelerating hiring and boosting wages, and in turn, from becoming self sustaining.
Ultimately, the recovery remained dependent on huge federal deficits, which have averaged $1.3 trillion over the last four years— three times the last Bush Administration deficit in 2008.
The economic recovery began five months after Barack Obama took office, and GDP growth has averaged 2.2 percent. In October 2009, unemployment peaked at 10 percent, and has since fallen to 7.9.; however, a lower percentage of adults working or seeking work accounts for about 80 percent of that reduction.
Ronald Reagan inherited a similarly troubled economy with unemployment cresting at 10.8 early in his presidency. When he sought reelection, the economy was growing at 6.3 percent, unemployment was 7.3 percent with adult labor force participation rising.
Mr. Reagan encouraged the development of natural resources and endured much criticism from environmentalists and academics. Whereas Mr. Obama has talked repeatedly about developing alternative energy resources and imposed limits on oil production in the Gulf, off the Pacific and Atlantic Coasts, and Alaska. Merely, replacing domestic oil with imports does little to improve air quality or curb CO2 emissions.
(Read More: Fiscal Cliff: Why Rise Above?)
To boost sales of Chinese products in the United States, Beijing undervalues the yuan through intervention in currency markets and subsidizes exports. It pirates U.S. technology and imposes high tariffs on imports. Diplomatic efforts pursued by both Presidents Bush and Obama have failed to yield much relief for competing U.S. businesses and workers.
Eliminating the trade deficit by developing U.S. energy and taking aggressive steps to counter Chinese protectionism would boost GDP by $1 trillion and create 10 million jobs.
However, in coming months the President and Congress will be preoccupied with averting the Fiscal Cliff and deficit reduction—without action by January 1, taxes will increase by $136 billion and spending will be cut by $532 billion.
(Read More: What Is the 'Fiscal Cliff'?')
The likely outcome is higher taxes on the wealthy and spending reductions that will slice the deficit by some about $300 billion. This reduction in demand could throw the economy into a deep recession without offsetting policy actions to jump start additional oil and gas production, curb the growing trade deficit with China or offer businesses relief from new regulations and health care mandates.
Other items on President Obama's second term agenda—tax reform, immigration reform and alternative energy projects will take many months to affect and few immediate effects on growth.
In the end, the President and Congress will not be able to raise taxes—be those on the wealthiest of the wealthy or anyone else—and cut spending without risking a second recession, deeper and more painful than the Great Recession.

The calling card will ask you (or your gift recipient) to contact them to re-arrange delivery, or to arrange collection of the wine - whichever is the most convenient. You may find it easier to authorise our courier to leave the order in a certain place. There is a textbox in the shopping checkout where delivery instructions can be left should no one be home to meet the delivery person. Please do let us know if you want our courier to leave your order in a certain spot (e.g. at back door, in shed, with neighbour etc). If a calling card is left it is your (or your gift recipients) responsibility to call the courier within 2 working days, otherwise the wine will be returned to The Fine Wine Company. You can then either collect your parcel from us, or pay our cost price for us to re-deliver (currently £8.95 per dozen bottles, UK mainland).
On the (extremely!) rare occasions you may discover a faulty wine, we will of course offer a full refund once returned. Please telephone on 0131 669 7716 or contact us for further details.
Please note that once we've despatched them, refunds can only be issued in the instance that we are able to resell your ticket(s).
Our transit boxes are designed to withstand most things, but wine does however sometimes break in transit. Alternative Parcels Company Ltd advises us if there are any breakages in a daily delivery audit of all parcels sent the previous day. We resend all breakages as soon as they tell us of any problems. It is, however, still very important that you let us know of any breakages once received so we can arrange replacement wine for you as quickly as possible. We will always replace any wine broken in transit, be it your own personal wine, or in wine gifts sent to your customers, staff, family or friends. Please always check both the number of parcels and the condition of any wines you sign for - as we cannot be held liable for any breakages once you have accepted and signed for them.
Under the Distance Selling Regulations, you may cancel a distance contract to purchase a product or products from us at any time within 7 working days after the day you received the relevant product or products (subject to the limitations set out below).
In order to cancel a contract in this way, you must give to us written notice of cancellation. This can be done by email to firstname.lastname@example.com quoting your order reference number, full name and address.
If you cancel a contract on this basis, you must promptly return the products to us, in the same condition in which you received them. Items must be returned in their original packaging and in re-saleable as new condition.
If you cancel a contract on this basis, you will be refunded in full the cost of the goods. However, we are unable to refund any initial outbound delivery charge you have paid, and you will be responsible for paying the cost of returning the product to us.
Please be mindful that until the product is safely returned to us it is your responsibility to ensure it stays in perfect condition. Returned items will be fully checked and photographed on return. Any items that are received by us in a damaged condition will not be eligible for return or refund, and any such items will be returned to you.
Nothing in these terms of sale affects your statutory rights (including your right to receive a refund in respect of any defective product we sell to you).
When you shop with us, our secure server encrypts all of your personal information, including name, address and credit card information. We use SagePay which are an industry leader in secure internet transactions. SagePay are used by thousands of other UK businesses for transaction security.
All transaction information passed between our website and the SagePay Payment System is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and all messages from SagePay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to SagePay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Once on the SagePay system, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data they hold is extremely secure and they are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
SagePay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
No individuals within our company or SagePay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.

Since the creation of the Agile Manifesto, many development teams have embraced the guidelines of agile. By focusing on the customer and eliminating wasted development effort, developers have seen dramatic improvements in their software development – greater visibility and collaboration, lower risk, faster delivery of builds, and increased adaptability.
But, even if your development team has gone agile, it is likely that other internal development teams or partners that you work with have not completely left behind the "old school" methods. To further complicate matters, development teams are generally not purely agile or purely waterfall. Almost 75% of development organizations deliberately mix agile and other methodologies. Faced with this hybrid landscape, many organizations are back where they were ten years ago, struggling to deliver applications that customers really want and trying to eliminate waste.
Orchestrating your requirements process and technologies doesn't happen overnight. However, for organizations to successfully manage the entire requirements lifecycle, there are some common success factors that will help them get there faster. This slideshow highlights six strategies identified by Serena Software that you can use to orchestrate your requirements process.

THE EPA wants more test data before deciding whether to increase the allowable level of ethanol in gasoline from 10% to 15% (E15). If tests remain supportive of higher blends, the EPA could approve E15 by the middle of this year.
Last month, the EPA sent a letter to Growth Energy, which had submitted a waiver requesting the allowance of up to 15% ethanol in gasoline last March. The EPA said it will continue to evaluate component durability when E15 is used over many thousands of miles.
More tests required
The Department of Energy (DOE) is testing 19 vehicles to study the long-term emissions impacts of higher ethanol blends on newer motor vehicles, but data were available on just two vehicles in December when the EPA was to announce its decision. The DOE expects that testing will be completed on an additional 12 vehicles by the end of May 2010.
The EPA expects to have a significant amount of data from this study. "If test results remain supportive and provide the necessary basis, we would be in a position to approve E15 for 2001 and newer vehicles in the mid-year time frame," the EPA stated. If the testing indicates potential problems, however, the EPA may delay its decision until all data are in.
An allowance of E15 would add seven billion new gallons of market potential to the U.S. ethanol industry. "This expanded market opportunity is necessary to draw capital investment for cellulosic ethanol and allows the industry to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard," says Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy.
The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), however, is concerned that the postponement of a decision "will chill investment in advanced biofuel technologies at a critical time in their development and commercialization."
The RFA also expressed concern about what it called EPA's apparent decision to limit the scope of its waiver research to vehicle model year 2001 and newer. "The data to date has shown no ill-effects of increased ethanol use in any vehicle, regardless of model year. The RFA encourages EPA to look at the waiver request with the entire range of vehicles in mind or provide detailed, scientific rationale for excluding older model vehicles," the RFA stated.
Effect on small engines
The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) wants the EPA to address the effect of E15 on lawn mowers, chain saws, snow throwers and numerous other consumer products. Kris Kiser, executive vice president, OPEI, says that while OPEI is not anti-ethanol, it is concerned about possible corrosion of fuel tanks that could lead to dangerous fuel leaks. He adds that when engines burn hotter as they do with ethanol fuel, there also can be unintentional clutch engagement, which would present serious safety issues.
DOE testing of mid-level ethanol blends on outdoor power equipment engines has shown performance irregularities and failure on tested product, Kiser says. The outdoor power equipment industry would like to build new machines that are capable of handling higher ethanol blends, but this does not address what to do with legacy products or further increasing ethanol blends, he says.
The EPA has said that it will take steps to address fuel pump labeling to ensure consumers use the proper gasoline for their vehicles and other products, such as outdoor power equipment. Currently, outdoor power equipment is not designed, built or warranted for mid-level blends.
"When you recognize how many vehicles are currently on the road today, and the various types of outdoor equipment used daily by average Americans, it's clear that a rush to judgment would only fail consumers," says Bill Holbrook, communications director, National Petrochemical & Refiners Association (NPRA).
The NPRA said a partial waiver would "cause significant disruption in the nation's wholesale and retail gasoline distribution infrastructure, widespread consumer confusion and potential misfueling, and potential liability for engine and fuel manufacturers for any damage caused to gasoline-powered engines not compatible with mid-level ethanol blends."
The EPA is coordinating a working group to address labeling requirements to use if the E15 waiver is approved.

Isobel Coleman is a senior fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy and director of the Civil Society, Markets, and Democracy Initiative at the Council on Foreign Relations. This entry of Democracy in Development originally appeared here.
This is the summer of the female Olympian. For the first time, every nation competing will have a woman on its team. In an important milestone, the United States is sending more women than men to compete in London. Even the conservative Islamic state of Saudi Arabia is allowing women to participate.
Let's appreciate that it's taken women more than a century of struggle to reach this point.
During the first modern Olympics in 1896, women were completely barred from competition. Still, a Greek woman named Stamata Revithi decided to unofficially run the marathon anyway, finishing in five and a half hours. (Revithi was truly at the vanguard of women's running – women didn't compete in Olympic marathons until 1984).
In 1900, Charlotte Cooper of Britain, a tennis player, became the first woman to win an Olympic gold medal. Still, for years, women's participation in the Olympic Games was hotly debated. In 1912, Pierre Coubertin, a founding father of the Olympics, opposed plans to expand women's participation to greater numbers of sports, decrying their involvement as "impractical, uninteresting, unaesthetic, and incorrect." Luckily he was overruled; around the world, celebrated female Olympic athletes have upended conventional wisdom about women's abilities and inspired millions.
Before this year, however, full female participation in the Olympics remained an aspiration. As of 1996, 26 countries' teams didn't include women. By the 2008 Games, only three countries – Brunei, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia – didn't field female Olympians. Brunei's small size partly accounted for its lack of women, although this year, Maziah Mahusin, a hurdler (and one of only three athletes competing from Brunei), will carry her nation's flag in the opening ceremonies.
Qatar is sending three female athletes: Bahiya al-Hamad, an air rifle shooter and the country's flag bearer; Noor al-Malki, a sprinter; and Nada Arkaji, a swimmer. As al-Hamad remarked to CNN about her participation, "It's an accomplishment for every Qatari woman. I hope I can live up to their expectation[s]." Until very recently, it seemed that Saudi Arabia would remain the holdout on female Olympians, but Wodjan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani, a judo athlete, and Sarah Attar, a runner, will compete. (For more on the internal dynamics of Saudi Arabia's Olympic bid, you can read my previous post on the subject).
Women's increased participation in the Games is in large part a result of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) proactive efforts to include women from every country. Though the athletes from Brunei, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia didn't technically qualify for the Games, the IOC invited them. The IOC also spent months negotiating with Saudi Arabia to send women to the Olympics. Additional international pressure, especially from Human Rights Watch, also helped.
The women who will compete in the Olympics are an impressive group, but many of the women who almost, but didn't, make it to the Games have also been trailblazers. In March, I wrote about the Catch-22 that the Iranian women's soccer team confronted in their Olympic bid. Last year, the team missed their chance to qualify for the Olympics because FIFA, soccer's governing body, didn't allow women to wear headscarves – and the Iranian government wouldn't allow them to compete without them. Since then, partly thanks to the efforts of Jordan's Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein, a member of FIFA's executive committee, official rules now permit women to play while wearing headscarves. A new Dutch-designed headscarf fastened with Velcro also assuaged fears that the headscarves would pose safety risks to female competitors. Regardless, dedicated Iranian female soccer players will not have the chance to compete this year.
Across the border from Iran, Afghanistan's Sadaf Rahimi hoped to represent her country as its first Olympic female boxer. While her boxing ability doesn't meet Olympic standards (she received a special IOC invitation, as did the Saudi women competing), the symbolic value of an Afghan woman overcoming the cultural and religious barriers to competing in such an event was enormous. However, the International Boxing Association recently decided that she couldn't compete in the Olympics, fearing for her safety in competition with much more skilled opponents. Her story still inspires.
In the coming weeks, regardless of their religion, nationality, or attire, women will perform physical feats possible for only the top echelon of athletes. Yet in too many countries, women's athletic participation remains deeply stigmatized and highly contested. But female Olympians will help dismantle that reality piece by piece. For the women who have fought for years just to compete in the Olympics – all the way back to Stamata Revithi in 1896 – their moment is finally here.
Tabari IX:113 "Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur'an."
I actually looked this up. That is a wrong interpretation of the Quran. No where in Quran does it say "permits you to shut them (wives) in separate rooms and to beat them" but it says "Allah permits you to refuse to share their beds". Here's some further excerpts:
"Fear Allah concerning women! Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made lawful unto you by words of Allah. You too have rights over them, and that they should not allow anyone to sit on your bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can chastise them but not severely(another hadeeth says but without causing injury or leaving a mark). Their rights upon you are that you should provide them with food and clothing in a fitting manner".
We shared your version with an Arabic speaker who laughed at your version.
Jamon's version is correct.
well.....this isn't from Qur'an you are quoting,.The Qur'an says on this topic in al-Nisa' 4:34
YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).
and this beating is dscribed as : If a woman rebels against her husband and disobeys his commands, then he should follow this method of admonishing her, forsaking her in bed and hitting her. Hitting is subject to the condition that it should not be harsh or cause injury. Al-Hasan al-Basri said: this means that it should not cause pain.
'Ata' said: I said to Ibn 'Abbaas, what is the kind of hitting that is not harsh? He said, Hitting with a siwaak and the like. [A siwaak is a small stick or twig used for cleaning the teeth – Translator]
The purpose behind this is not to hurt or humiliate the woman, rather it is intended to make her realize that she has transgressed against her husband's rights, and that her husband has the right to set her straight and discipline her.
Gee whiz, I can see that this is so very much better.
How do you beat somebody without causing pain and humiliation
I suggest you rip that part out of the Qur'an as offensive to women.
Lol Jamon actually lied..
Jamon...if that is a religion every girl in that religion it is sad...Very sad...It is more sad that people still believe.. If you don't respect the mother who gave you birth and the lady who is the mother of your child, the sibling who is born with you...if you treat a woman like someone you play with or have fun shame on you....you are not worth living in this world...
Everyone should tune in and enjoy rooting for their favorites.
The list in the London Olympics web site has six men from Barbados and no women. I hope I am wrong, but it looks like we have to wait another four years for this to be true!
However, Barbados likely does not have women on its team due to its small population – and not outright trying to prohibit its women from competing unlike some of these backwards and medieval islamic countries.
I'm a Muslim guy!
And frankly, the stuff Jamon was saying is anything but CRAP!
We (as males in this religion) are supposed to protect our women! Aren't bullies hitting them every now and then!
I mean, let's face it, Saudi Arabia is a very conservative country that has not allowed many of Western-styled shifts. To maintain our traditions and culture values and "protact" them from these changes which are religiously considered unacceptable, we protect our women! In other words, once a women is westernised in mind and her lifestyle, things are worse off (In our religious prospectives)
By the way, almost ALL Saudi women didn't ask for help from others – people are rather mindless if they think a women or two, protesting against the gov by driving is the opinion of all Saudi women and hey, Saudi men are romantic, they are not psycho hitting or underappreciating their mums, sisters, daughters or wives, and most of all, it's just too challenging for outsiders to understand the values Saudi Arabia is trying to hold onto!
Got aweful lot to learn people 🙂

Just as "Downton Abbey" fans are gearing up for the Season 4 debut of their beloved period drama, which is scheduled for Jan. 5, 2014, it's been announced that there will be a fifth season.
The show, which will continue to air on PBS' "Masterpiece Classics" in the United States and ITV in the U.K., has proven a pop-culture phenomenon for PBS. It's actually the network's most-watched drama ever.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of 'Downton Abbey'
Created by Julian Fellowes, "Downton Abbey" first aired in 2010 and has since garnered much critical acclaim and won a number of Golden Globe and Emmy awards. It takes place in the Yorkshire country estate called Downton Abbey and follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and its live-in staff during the early 20th century — a time of massive change for the British class system.
"Downton Abbey" is a Carnival Films and Masterpiece co-production, and although the show seemed a shoo-in for renewal due to its unprecedented popularity, nothing was for sure thanks to a variety of factors, including how in demand Fellowes has been outside the series.

If you�re buying some champagne today to help ring in the new year, you�re not alone.
New Year�s Eve is the second-busiest day of the year, said Paul Agranovitch, owner of Universal Discount Package Store in Norwich. (Christmas Eve is the biggest day, he said.)
�Christmas through New Year�s is a big, active time,� Dan Topalis, the store manager, said.
Buyers take home �a lot of champagne,� Topalis said. Most popular is medium-priced American bubbly, he said.
New Year�s Eve �is probably in the top five� busiest days at Big Gary�s Montville Wine & Spirits, manager Michael Schrage said.
�We sell a lot of champagne,� Schrage said. �Usually the less expensive stuff.�
Schrage added that buyers occasionally do buy a bottle of vintage champagne. �We�re near the casinos,� he said.
Although his store also sells vintage champagne that can cost as much as $200 per bottle, Agranovitch said, he agreed that �the vast majority is under $20.�
According to an AP-Times Square New Year�s Eve Poll, most Americans � 54 percent � say they�ll be ringing in 2014 at home, while 20 percent will be celebrating at a friend or family member�s house.
�A lot more consumption is being done at home now. It�s safer,� Agranovitch said. �People want to celebrate, but I think they also want to be more responsible.�
�We will have extra patrols out,� watching for drunken drivers on New Year�s Eve, Norwich Police Sgt. James Veiga said.
State police also plan to have additional patrols tonight and on New Year�s Day as part of Operation SANTA (Stop Another Needless Tragic Accident).
�We see a noticeable increase� in drunken driving during the holiday season, Veiga said, though he said the department does not keep specific statistics for New Year�s Eve.
Big sellers this year at Arrow Paper Party Rentals� store in New London are New Year�s party kits for 10 people that include hats, noisemakers and beads, manager Garry Weiss said.
Occasionally the celebrating might get out of hand, according to police, but �on New Year�s Eve, everyone�s usually pretty tolerant about noise,� Veiga said.
�We just want to remind people to have a happy and safe holiday season,� he said. �If you�ve had too much to drink, there are so many better options than driving.�
Only 8 percent of Americans plan to go to a bar, restaurant or other organized event, the AP-Times Square poll says.
That number rises to 13 percent for people younger than 30. Still, 39 percent of the younger people surveyed plan to stay home, and 33 percent will celebrate at someone else�s home.
Both Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun are planning massive celebrations tonight.
�We anticipate a big crowd coming to celebrate New Year�s with us,� Mohegan Sun public relations manager Cathy Soper said. �There�s quite a lot going on on our property.�
Events include a party in the Uncas Ballroom with tickets at $100 apiece, acrobats performing in Mohegan Sun Arena, and several more parties in the casino�s nightclubs, restaurants and in the shopping concourse.
�This is a really popular night,� Dale Wolbrink, Foxwoods public relations manager, said. �We roll out the red carpet.�
Foxwoods is featuring a Miami-themed celebration in the Miami Lounge & Cigar Bar, along with roving entertainment, cruise giveaways, a comedy show and parties in the casino�s nightclubs and its High Rollers bowling alley.
The two casinos are doing so much, in fact, that many smaller competitors are doing less than in past years.
�We�re going to run the normal hours, 10 to 10,� said Tim Chartier, manager of Engine 6 Pizza in Norwich, an eatery that also offers catering for parties. �I do expect to be here later to make sure everything runs smoothly.�
�New Year�s Eve for us is like a Friday or Saturday night,� said Rodney Green, owner of Olde Tymes in Norwich. Green said his restaurant will close at 9 p.m. as usual.
�We�re doing New Year�s specials and a toast� at midnight, said John Worney, general manager of Norwich pub Harp & Dragon. �I believe the casinos have stolen our thunder.�
Of course, not everyone will be partying tonight. About 18 percent of Americans � more than one in six � say they�re not celebrating on New Year�s Eve at all, according to the AP-Times Square poll.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Europeans agog at Americans' inability to compromise, aghast at likely long-term impact
A German newspaper columnist this week asked why people here were shocked by the American government stalemate that led to the recent shutdown.
After all, they'd seen it before: Republican insistence on scaling back the Affordable Care Act and the subsequent shutdown weren't so very different from German Chancellor Angela Merkel's austerity insistence for Greece, and the subsequent Greek cutback crisis.
While it was only one column in one newspaper, it did nicely sum up how much of the world seemed to be seeing the United States during the budget impasse: as both dysfunctional (Greece) and authoritarian (Germany).
No one was amused, however. The United States, after all, is not a bit player on the international stage like Greece. It is the unquestioned global leader. And while after a decade of controversial war it's not so unusual for Europeans to express hostility toward the United States, many were shocked to see how hostile Americans seem to be to one another – and disinterested in how their internal fight might affect the rest of the world.
"This is pure domestic politics," said Xenia Dormandy, an expert on the United States and its place in the world at the London think tank Chatham House. "Nobody cares about any of the international implications. There's a lack of desire to even think about the repercussions."
The discord will have long-term consequences, even if the United States is able to see its way through this crisis to yet another battle over spending and the debt ceiling that will come early next year, some predict.
Willem Post, an expert on U.S. politics at The Clingendael Institute, a Dutch think tank, warned that the standoff in the United States and divisions within Europe over what to do about its own economy are causing the two continents to not take steps that would enable them to remain the dominant forces in the world despite all the talk of a rising China and a Pacific pivot.
The United States is still the world's largest economy and will long remain the world's most powerful nation, he noted. And Europe, troubled as it may be, remains a substantial economic force.
"This is a window of opportunity now, for two continents with shared goals, to make a partnership under which they will not diminish," he said. "Of course, they cannot wait 20 years to make this happen. This is a moment, and it must be seized. Instead, we have dysfunctional governments on both sides of the Atlantic."
And there will be consequences, he said.
"For us, failure to make progress now is an issue, but only one of many," he said. "For our children and grandchildren, it is a looming disaster."
Made all the more incomprehensible to Europeans because of the American role in it. For Europeans, their own dysfunctions makes sense; the European Union, after all, is made up of 28 nations with competing interests, while the Eurozone, where the euro is the currency, is composed of 17 nations with differing economic needs and styles.
But the United States is a single nation.
"Europeans really don't understand," he said. "The United States is the model democracy, it should be leading by example. Instead, there is no talking, there is no compromise. The lesson to the rest of the world is that the United States these days can't be relied upon."
President Barack Obama said as much Thursday in remarks from the White House.
"Probably nothing has done more damage to America's credibility in the world, our standing with other countries, than the spectacle that we've seen these past several weeks," he said. "It's encouraged our enemies. It's emboldened our competitors. And it's depressed our friends who look to us for steady leadership."
The impact of the standoff came through in a commentary distributed earlier this week by the official Chinese news agency Xinhua, in which the writer suggested that given the current crisis "it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanized world."
The piece posited that the time has come for the world to leave the dollar behind as the international standard currency, a move that would be disastrous for American consumers used to low prices on imports.
The piece goes on in even stronger language to denounce the United States for its international policies. "Under what is known as the Pax-Americana, we fail to see a world where the United States is helping to defuse violence and conflicts . . . instead of honoring its duties as a responsible leading power, a self-serving Washington has abused its superpower status and introduced even more chaos into the world."
The language of the piece is harsh, but the thoughts are hardly fresh. And they won't go away simply because the United States, once again, drove up to the edge of the cliff and dangled the world economy for a while before deciding not to actually drop it.
Earlier this year, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius gave a speech in Jakarta, Indonesia, encapsulating recent global history and the end of "The American Century."
"The world was bipolar with the domination of the United States and the USSR," Fabius said. "It was then, for a short time, uni-polar, dominated by the United States. In the future, we all want it to become multi-polar, with regulated multi-polarity. For the moment, in my view, it is zero-polar."
As such, the global cost of this government shutdown shouldn't be measured in dollars as much as in prestige, some analysts say. And in those terms, the losses were steep.
Joerg Wolf, editor in chief and a foreign policy expert at the Atlantic Community, a Berlin-based think tank, noted that "it is mind boggling that politicians are so slow to see the costs of their actions."
Wolf wonders if politicians really need to experience the consequences to appreciate them.
"The perception in the United States Congress does seem to be that if a default causes problems for China, that's China's problem," he said. "The U.S. is playing with fire. There will be blowback."

This guide is designed as a resource for leaders and evaluators of K-12 online learning programs. In this guide, the term "online learning" is used to refer to a range of education programs and resources in the K-12 arena, including distance learning courses offered by universities, private providers, or teachers at other schools; stand-alone "virtual schools" that provide students with a full array of online courses and services; and educational Web sites that offer teachers, parents, and students a range of resources.1 The guide features seven evaluations that represent variety in both the type of program or resource being evaluated, and in the type of evaluation. These evaluations were selected because they offer useful lessons to others who are planning to evaluate an online learning program or resource.
Of course, evaluating online learning is not altogether different from assessing any other type of education program, and, to some degree, evaluators may face the same kind of design and analysis issues in both instances. Still, online program evaluators may encounter some unanticipated challenges in the virtual arena owing, for example, to the distance between program sites and students, participants' unfamiliarity with the technology being used, and a lack of relevant evaluation tools. This guide examines a range of challenges that online program evaluators are likely to meet, some that are unique to online settings and others that are more general. It also describes how online environments can sometimes offer advantages to evaluators by presenting opportunities for streamlined data collection and analysis, for example.
The guide specifically focuses on challenges and response strategies. All of the evaluations described here illustrate strong assessment practices and robust findings, and they are models for demonstrating how program leaders and evaluators can handle the challenges of evaluating online learning.
