Gloucester HarborWalk is a collection of 42 story-post locations that wind through Gloucester's historic downtown and working harbor.
Although you could begin your walk at any one of the 42 story posts, the first story-post "St Peter" is located at Peter's Square at the corner of Washington and Rogers Street (10 Rogers Street). Look for the large green ocean buoy.
Where does the HarborWalk go?
From St. Peter's Square on Rogers Street, the HarborWalk traverses the working waterfront to Harbor Loop. The Walk then turns up to City Hall and the civic center, then turns back down through the historic district to St. Peter's Square.
Several markers lead to some of the City's most famous landmarks away from downtown. They include the Man At the Wheel and Fishermen's Wives statues on ocean-front, Stacy Boulevard, leading to Stage Fort Park. In all directions are views painted by famous artists.

What's Up With Jessica Simpson in This Photo?
Jessica Simpson's recent NYC ensemble had a few issues.
The singer, actress and designer, who spent much of the past two years with buns in her oven, stepped out in a black and red floral Carolina Herrera dress in NYC last night (Dec. 3). Kudos to the style maven for shedding the baby weight from her second child, son Ace, born in the summer, rather quickly.
But the presentation was not flawless.
Simpson, 33, was attending the 27th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards, and she was certainly busting out of the top of her dress. We love the Casadei pumps and the fitted frock, but it was a bit too tight. She looked overly top heavy, like the dress didn't quite fit; at least above the waist, it didn't.
Her boobies are squished -- that cannot be comfy.
But that's not all. Simpson also appeared to have some sort of sporadic red rash on her décolletage. It could be an allergic reaction – perhaps to a perfume, since it's localized and not on other parts of her body? Or maybe the chilly NYC air gave her a pinkish, if splotchy, glow? Maybe she has rosacea? Or maybe she broke out in hives? We dunno but we hope she is okay.
Simpson's glossy pink lips also appear to be a bit plump, artificially so. She has owned up to having lip injections before. Maybe she revisited the process?
Yes, she's still gorgeous, despite some problems with this presentation.

The Race to Locate Twitter Users
Few Twitter users broadcast their location. But businesses and researchers are hunting for ways to infer it.
IBM researcher Jalal Mahmud and colleagues created software that can often identify a Twitter user's home city, based on the user's 200 most-recent tweets, according to a recent paper. The researchers looked at the times when a user tweets most frequently – which can indicate the user's time zone – as well as mentions of sports teams and unique place names.

This article needs more medical references for verification or relies too heavily on primary sources. (May 2017)
Autotransplantation is the transplantation of organs, tissues, or even particular proteins from one part of the body to another in the same person (auto- meaning "self" in Greek).
The autologous tissue (also called autogenous, autogeneic, or autogenic tissue) transplanted by such a procedure is called an autograft or autotransplant.
It is contrasted with allotransplantation (from other individual of same species), Syngeneic transplantation (Grafts transplanted between two genetically identical individuals of the same species) and xenotransplantation (from other species).
A common example is the removal of a piece of bone (usually from the hip) and its being ground into a paste for the reconstruction of another portion of bone.
Autologous blood donation[edit]
In blood banking terminology, autologous blood donation refers to a blood donation marked for use by the donor, typically for a scheduled surgery. (Generally, the notion of "donation" does not refer to giving to oneself, though in this context it has become somewhat acceptably idiomatic.) They are commonly called "Autos" by blood bank personnel, and it is one major form of the more general concept of autotransfusion (the other being intraoperative blood salvage).
Some advantages of autologous blood donation are:
- Blood type will always match, even with a rare blood type or antibody type.
- If only autologous blood is used during surgery the risk of exposure to infectious disease such as hepatitis or HIV from blood is eliminated.
- The risk of allergic reactions is reduced.
The disadvantages are:
- Higher cost due to individualized processing, record-keeping, and management.
- In most cases, the blood is discarded if it is not used instead of being added to the general supply.
- Blood donation prior to colorectal cancer surgery seemed causative for a worse overall and colorectal cancer specific survival.[1]
Autologous blood is not routinely tested for infectious diseases markers such as HIV antibodies. In the United States, autologous blood is tested only if it is collected in one place and shipped to another.
There is also a risk that, in an emergency or if more blood is required than has been set aside in advance, the patient could still be exposed to donor blood instead of autologous blood. Autologous donation is also not suitable for patients who are medically unable to or advised not to give blood, such as cardiac patients or small children and infants.
Bone autograft[edit]
In orthopaedic medicine, bone graft can be sourced from a patient's own bone in order to fill space and produce an osteogenic response in a bone defect. However, due to the donor-site morbidity associated with autograft, other methods such as bone allograft and bone morphogenetic proteins and synthetic graft materials are often used as alternatives. Autografts have long been considered the "Gold Standard" in Oral Surgery and Implant Dentistry because it offered the best regenerations results. Lately, the introduction of morphogen-enhanced bone graft substitutes have shown to show similar success rates and quality of regeneration; however, their price is still very high.[medical citation needed]

The Making of a Shadow in TW Hydrae's Disk
This diagram reveals the proposed structure of a gas-and-dust disk surrounding the nearby, young star TW Hydrae.
The illustration shows an inner disk that is tilted due to the gravitational influence of an unseen companion, which is orbiting just outside the disk.
The tilted inner disk is the best explanation for a shadow covering part of the disk's outer region. The warped disk is blocking light from the star and casting the shadow across the disk. The nature of the darkening was first revealed in Hubble Space Telescope archival observations, which showed that the feature moved around the star at a much faster rate than any phenomenon that would be physically linked to the slowly rotating disk.
TW Hydrae is about 8 million years old and resides 192 light-years from Earth.

Woman Wins $1M Suit against Dentist Who Gave Her STD
(PORTLAND, Ore.) -- Unsafe sex can be costly, nearly a million dollars in this case. After four days of testimony and two hours of deliberation, a jury has awarded an Oregon woman $900,000 in damages because she contracted genital herpes after a liaison with a retired dentist.
"The jury essentially said if a person knows he has an STD, he has a duty to inform a sex partner before, not after," said Randall Vogt, the woman's attorney.
Vogt's client, who sued under a pseudonym, met the retired dentist, 69, on an Internet dating website in 2010 and went on three dates, he said. On the fourth, they had sex.
The woman, 49, handed her partner a condom, but his sexual advances took over too quickly, she says. After intercourse, as the two lay in bed discussing their connection, the man decided to open up and revealed he had herpes, according to the lawsuit. The woman kicked him out of her home.
Eleven days later, the woman had a painful outbreak, which she continues to have periodically. Antiviral medication caused her to lose her hair and she has since gained weight from the drugs she takes to treat the depression caused by the herpes, the lawsuit alleged.
Defense attorney Shawn Lillegren argued that the woman was careless and money-hungry. "Grow up. Come on. You're an adult. He's an adult. They had sex," Lillegren said, according to the Oregonian.
But the jury didn't buy it, and Tuesday found the man 75 percent liable for negligence and completely liable for civil battery.
Vogt said this kind of lawsuit is "extremely rare" because it's often hard to prove where the victim contracted the STD. He also said embarrassment plays a factor in deterring victims from confronting former partners in court.
He hopes his client set a new precedent.
"When people learn they can be sued for transmitting an STD to another person," he said, "it is going to encourage people to be more careful and less reckless about their contact."

Intravenous pyelogram (IVP)
An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is an imaging test that uses a contrast medium (radiopaque iodine) and x-rays to produce images of the urinary tract (kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra). The radiopaque iodine concentrates in the urine. The x-rays show the size, shape and position of the urinary tract. The IVP also shows kidney function and how well the bladder empties.
An IVP is also called an:
- intravenous urography (IVU)
- excretory urography
- excretory radiograph.
Why an IVP is done
Intravenous pyelogram may be done to:
- examine the urinary tract for structural problems
- find the cause of signs and symptoms, such as:
- blood in the urine
- back or flank pain
- recurring urinary tract infections
- look for damage to the urinary tract following trauma
- diagnose kidney disease, stones in the urinary tract, infection and cancer
How an IVP is done
The IVP is usually done as an outpatient procedure in the x-ray department of a hospital or clinic. The test usually takes about 1 hour to complete.
- It is important for women to tell the x-ray technologist or radiologist if they are breast-feeding, pregnant or think they may be pregnant before having any type of x-ray.
- Preparation for an IVP can vary, but usually includes:
- No eating or drinking for 12 hours before the IVP.
- Taking a laxative the evening before the IVP.
- Having an enema the morning of the IVP.
- A preliminary x-ray may be taken to make sure the colon is empty.
- A blood test may be done to make sure the kidneys are functioning well enough.
- The person is asked to remove clothing, jewellery and other objects that will be in the x-ray field and may interfere with the quality of the x-ray.
During the test:
- The person lies on the back and an x-ray of the abdomen is taken to make sure the colon is empty and to see the location of the kidneys.
- The radiopaque iodine is injected, usually into the vein that runs through the bend in the arm.
- During the injection, the person may feel warm, flushed, have a salty taste in the mouth or feel nauseated.
- People may be told to take slow, deep breaths if these feelings occur.
- The person is asked to stay very still while the x-rays are taken.
- At least 3 x-rays, several minutes apart, are taken as the radiopaque iodine travels through the urinary tract.
- The person may be asked to turn from one side to the other or to hold different positions so other x-rays can be taken.
- The person is asked to urinate, and then a final x-ray is taken.
- An x-ray procedure that projects the motion or activity of internal organs onto a screen (called fluoroscopy) may be used during an IVP.
After the test, the person will be instructed to drink plenty of fluid to help flush the radiopaque iodine from the body.
Potential side effects
X-rays involve low levels of ionizing radiation, which has the potential to cause cancer and other defects. The number and complexity of x-rays needed to diagnose and determine the extent of a disease can vary. Even with multiple and repeated x-rays, the total dose of radiation and the associated risk is small.
X-rays are strictly monitored and controlled to make sure they use the smallest amount of radiation possible. The expected benefits of the x-rays must always outweigh any possible risk for the x-rays to be done.
Some potential side effects associated with IVP include:
- On rare occasions, the contrast medium may cause an allergic reaction.
- The radiopaque iodine can cause kidney damage in people with poor kidney function. Elderly people, people who have diabetes or people with previous kidney problems may need to take special precautions.
What the results mean
An IVP can show:
- a change in size, shape and position of the urinary tract
- kidney function
- kidney disease
- stones in the kidney or ureter
- tumours of the urinary tract
- extent of damage caused by trauma
- an enlarged prostate in men
What happens if a change or abnormality is found
The doctor will decide whether further tests, procedures, follow-up care or treatment is needed.
Special considerations for children
IVP is not commonly used with children. Being prepared for a test or procedure can reduce anxiety, increase cooperation and help the child develop coping skills. Parents and caregivers can help prepare children by explaining to them what will happen, including what they will see, feel and hear during the test.
The preparation you can provide for this test depends on the age and experience of the child. See the following for more age-specific information on helping children cope with tests and treatment.
A substance used in some diagnostic procedures to help parts of the body show up better on x-rays or other imaging tests.
In most cases, contrast medium is injected into or around the structure to be examined.
Also called contrast dye or contrast agent.
Cancer affects all Canadians
Nearly 1 in 2 Canadians is expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

BETHEL INSTITUTE, ST. PAUL, MINN. November 25, 1936
New Floor Makes Change in
Heating System Necessary
Carpenters are at work laying the
new gymnasium floor. Substantial
progress has been made and the new
project will be completed before the
basket ball schedule opens with the New
Ulm-Bethel game here December 11.
Contracts have been let to Gust Bro-by,
contractor, and member of Central
Baptist Church and C. B. Dahlby of the
First Swedish Baptist church of St.
Paul, to lay the floor and change the
heating system. The laying of the new
floor necessitates the changing of the
heating system. Eliminating the return
steam pipe under the floor and the trap
door over the pump will make the new
floor continuous and contribute to the
safety of the players.
N. Y. A. Workers have been busy
tearing up the old floor and cleaning
the cement foundation. After the floor
has been laid, the government aid stu-dent
workers will put the finishing
touches on the floor.
Necessary changes and new equip-ment
have increased the cost about
three times more than the first estim-ate.
Appeals are being made to the
alumni to give further support to the
"The Alaskans are hungering for
prayer and Gospel messages." With
these words Miss Martha Pohnert chal-lenged
the Student Volunteers at a
meeting held in the Seminary chapel,
Wednesday evening, Novmber 18. After
completing fifteen years of service in
China, Miss Pohnert felt the call to
go to Alaska with the Gospel message.
She spent three years there doing pio-neer
missionary work.
Miss Pohnert cited a number of in-stances
in which people of Alaska have
not heard the Gospel for many years.
Many of the Churches that are there
have only a cold formalism for re-ligion.
Gambling is one of the greatest
sins, and intoxicating liquor presents a
great problem. She stated that "Juneau,
which has a population of 6,000 people,
spent $26,000 for liquor in one year. -
In an easy conversational presenta-tion
Miss Pohnert challenged the audi-ence
with the need of submissive lives.
"If you want to find out the will of
God, you must have a yielded spirit.
Practice the presence of Christ, and
there will come a nearness to Jesus
Christ that you never experienced be-fore.
Donald Peterson, president of the
Student Volunteers led the meeting and
Floyd Richert took charge of devo-tions.
Students from the Alliance School
gave messages in song.
Everett Johnson, Junior College
Freshman and Chapel reporter of the
Clarion, was operated on for ruptured

Puritan days were vividly presented
to Bethel's friends by the Sophomore
Class of the Junior College in their
presentation, "Reliving Plymouth - , on
Friday, November 20. A fine audience
was present and showed their enthusias-tic
approval of the performance.
The proposal of John Alden (Ned
Holmgren) to Priscilla (Muriel John-son)
on behalf of Miles Standish (Cad
Lundquist) was especially appealing to
the auditors. Throughout the entire
play from the Puritan Gathering to the
final Grateful Praise great care in prep-aration
and delivery was evidenced.
Other members of the cast were:
Reader Florence Lindstrom
Minister Maurice Lawson
Indian Messenger Paul Wage
Puritan Gathering Members of the Class
Music was furnished by Phyllis
Bohne, pianist, and Kermit Johnson,
Carl Young, Junior in the Seminary,
was the playwright.
Proceeds of the play are to go for
the class gift to the school.
The Bethel Mixed Chorus has been
practicing Handers "Messiah" for the
past two months in order to prepare
for three renditions of the Oratorio to
be given in St. Paul, Minneapolis, and
Bethel during the month of December.
Not only have rehearsals been held
during the regular period, but also the
various parts have been practicing
Much more of the Oratorio will be
sung this year than last year.
Further announcement will be made
as to the time and places of the con-certs.
Excerpt from a history of the United
States written 2000 A. D.
The election of November, 1960,
was a complete victory for the Bethel-ites
as far as electoral votes are con-cerned.
Not one vote in the electoral
college swerved to the opposing party,
the Rabbleites.
With the inauguration of President
Wilbur Sorley began an administra-tion
of true aggressiveness. Vice Presi-dent
Rodger Goodman, was his right
hand man in pushing measures through
congress making it illegal for grocers
or druggists to dispense soap boxes to
any will o' the wisp who happened
along. A new office in the cabinet was
created for the benefit of womankind.
Joel Strandberg was made the first
secretary of feminity.
No more illustrious cabinet ever met
The translation of the Bible for the
heathen is the crying need of humanity
today according to Dr. L. L. Legters,
the field secretary of the Pioneer Mis-sion
"Four thousand languages and dia-lects
lack a translation of any position
Courtesy Minneaolis Journal
Rev, L. L. Le_gter.
of the Scriptures today," he emphasizes.
At present nine hundred and fifty four
languages and dialects have the Scrip-tures
in part or in whole. Even con-sidering
three thousand languages of
secondary importance we face the task
of translating the Bible into a thousand
more. This is the challenging need fac-ing
the Christian of today.
"It is not medical men nor teachers
we need but pioneer missionaries that
present the simple Bible to the natives
in their own language," Dr. Legters
continues. "In many lands professional
men are driven out of the country, but
missionaries are permitted to present
the Word of God."
The missionary appeal is tremen-dous.
Seventeen million Indians from
the Americas with five hundred dif-ferent
dialects are perishing without
the life giving Word of God. Not one
Indian tribe has the entire Bible in its
language—few have the New Testa-
(Continued on page 3)
than Mr. Sorley's. It was properly
dubbed the "filing" cabinet because of
the time it spent in classifying the illus-trations
the president used in his
speeches. Aside from Mr. Strandberg,
the president had as his chief appoint-ers
the following:
Secretary of State ____Aymond Anderson
Secretary of the Treasury
Robert J. Klingberg
Secretary of War Hilding Lind
Secretary of the Navy Paul Racer
Secretary of the Interior
Edward Nelson
Secretary of Labor Everett Palm
Secretary of Agriculture
Maurice Wessman
Secretary of Commerce
Pierre Tangent
Attorney General Bruce Fleming
Postmaster General ____Kermit Johnson
"Victorious Christian Living - was
the theme of the series of Chapel mes-sages
brought by Dr. L. L. Legters,
Field Secretary for the Pioneer Mission
Agency, to the students in the College
Chapel from November 16 to 20. Not
content with a superficial delving into
the Word of God, Dr. Legters probes
into its depth and makes it vital to the
hearer, through his illustrations pre-sented
in his own inimitable manner.
Beginning on Monday with a message
on "How to work with God'', Dr. Leg-ters
followed on each successive morn-ing
with the messages, "Grieve not the
Spirit", "How to be clean", "Working
with God", and Trusting the Master
Dr. Legters emphasized that we are
the temples of the Holy Spirit stating,
"you will never get anywhere in your
Christian life unless you realize the
marvelous truth that Christ lives in
Although he has been very busy, Dr.
Legters gave of his time very gener-ously
to bring these messages to the
students. He has spent the past month
or so at Broadway Temple, First Bap-tist
Church of Minneapolis, and the
First Swedish Baptist Church of Min-neapolis.
In addition to his addresses
and work in discovering mission fields,
he has written a number of books:
"The Simplicity of the Spirit-filled
Life", "God's Fellow Workers", "Union
with Christ", and "Partakers" being
among the outstanding ones.
Dr. Louis Entzminger, well-known
Sunday school organizer and author of
several books on the subject, address-ed
the class in Religious Education at
their session Friday afternoon, Novem-ber
In this lecture Dr. Entzminger ex-plained
how to build up attendance in
the Sunday school. He said that the
three fundamentals are to find pros-pects,
have a graded school, and have
an adequate organization. The purpose
of the school according to Dr. Entz-minger
is to teach them the great com-mission.
At present Dr. Entzminger is work-ing
with the Fourth Baptist Church of
Minneapolis endeavoring to organize
that Church into a Bible school on a
larger scale. As a result of a partial
survey of North Minneapolis, 2,500
new prospects were received.
From the "soft" strains of music that
break the silence of Thursday after-noons,
it is very evident that the Bethel
Male Chorus is busily preparing for
its annual concert tour. Besides these
chorus rehearsals, each section has its
individual group practices each week.
By November 18th the boys were
required to have memorized the music
and words of ten different selections.
Among the more familiar songs in-cluded
in this group are: "Now Let
Every Tongue Adore Thee", by Bach,
"Landsighting," by Grieg, "Laudamus,"
by Protheroe, and "Thanks Be to God,"
by Dickson and Salter.

at St. Paul, Minnesota under the act of March 3, 1879.
In thinking of Religious Temples we always associate
them with places of reverent worship and quietness. A
certain sense of awe comes over us as we look at these
massive structures of man's making or admire the in-tricate
beauty of the pagan temples. No matter whether
we see the great cathedral of Cologne or the Bahai Tem-ple;
Riverside Church or the Golden Temple of Jehol;
Notre Dame Cathedral or the Temple of Buddha, we see
men's yearning for God.
But there are other temples all about us which we per-haps
do not perceive. These are the bodies of all Chris-tians.
"What, know ye not that your body is the temple
of the Holy Ghost which is within you?" 1 Cor. 6:19.
These temples are divinely made and marvelous. They
are truly "fearfully and wonderfully made".
Should we not, therefore, endeavor to keep our , bodies
temples—clean, pure, and holy in order that there
may always be seenin them that reverence and peaceful
quietness which we observe in man-made temples?
-:- Quiet Meditation -:-
By Leonard Turnquist
"He will drink of the brook in the way; there-fore
will he lift up the head." Psalm 1 10 :7.
The Son of God, having conquered over sin on
Calvary's cross, was received into heaven to sit on
the right hand of God. From henceforth He was
never to be alone and forsaken in the great task of
establishing the kingdom of righteousness. The
Father himself would now battle in behalf of the
Sun until all enemies should be made his footstool.
The Father and the Son are set forth in a divine
partnershi pand engaged in a fearful, consuming
drive against the enemies of truth and light.
The Son proceeds in the morning as a youth to
do battle. It is , the day of his power. He under-takes
the task with the vigor and fervor of youth
with the zeal and thoroughness of godliness, but
the battle is prolonged. Will the freshness of the
morning remain with him through the day? Shall
the heat and dust and resistance of battle pass un-noticed?
When our Lord was on this earth he regularly
retired to pray. Thronging multitudes, fearful lep-ers,
broken sinners—all must wait while the Mas-ter
prayed. Most of our Lord's prayers are not
recorded. He too "entered into his closet" and
doubtless sued for personal strength and refreshing.
He left all of life's pressing tasks to fellowship with
God. The Psalmist says, "He will drink of the
brook in the way; therefore will he lift up the
head." He refreshed himself with God, the Senior
Partner, and thus was led to victory.
As we go out to serve the Lord let us remember
that the battle is the Lord's. Our greatest victories
are won in secret with God. Our task is a very
great one, but let us also "drink of the brook in
the way." Let God work in and through us unto
Way Up High—On a Perch
When I was very young—five or
six—I was taken to a cottage prayer
meeting. Before the service began the
hosts described to us the achievements
of their erudite parrot. He could sing I
And he didn't use bad language! But
devotions began and we found ourselves
upon our knees. While we were there
the irreverent fowl began singing in
monotonous deliberation and with rau-cous
voice the rather well known strains
of My Country, 'Tis of Thee. He had re-ceived
an education and he used as
much acumen in giving that fact pub-licity
as he did in the acquisition of the
education itself.
We live in a democratic nation and
everyone should acquire some sort of
an education. And the more of it that
we get, the more fortunate we are es-teemed.
Sometimes a curious friend
questions us as to our reasons for at-tending
school. Several answers can be
given. He are some:
I want to prepare for my chosen life
I want a degree. (To be commended,
shows a mystical extension of the first
I want to learn how to think. (Sounds
very good. Sometimes its papa who
wants this for us.)
The last reason is perhaps the most
interesting. If that is why we have
come, the process should lead to a
different result than with the parrot.
(Although the parrot does truly have
good reason for saying, "My best
thoughts come from others.'') And to
help this process, instructors are hired
to teach us.
In ourselves there are some hind-rances
that can prevent the educational
goal from being reached. The worst
two are laziness and sentimentality. The
first we are reminded of frequently.
The second is just as serious for it can
persist down through the time of giv-ing
of the - Ph.D.
But the optimistic instructor is even
now laboring to think of some device
whereby the neophyte can acquire the
thinking custom. The di____culty lies
in the fact that so many of us have to
be given diplomas. Something must be
done so that all may be encouraged to
publicly announce the outward sym-bols
of reflection. The more the out-ward
symbol can be discernible, the
more satisfactory is the result. Hence,
frequent and grevious examinations.
Thus each fowl must learn the same
melody as his neighbor. On their
perches they all stand in a row and the
same dulct body of somber fact comes
from the not very enthusiastic flock.
Then the law of competition enters and
the too-soon exhausted (lazy) bird
finally stops. But the sentimental fowl
merely blinks his eyes and rolls them
and sounds even more hopefully mourn-ful.
However, we are human beings.
Pleasant variations are permitted. A
plan has been devised whereby what
we ourselves think can be a pleasant
appendage to what we parrot. Let not
the canary, however, believe that he be-longs
with the parrots and magpies. He
Not so much funl—way up high on
the perch.
New "Evangel" Editor Speaks
"Don't Kid Yourself" was the sub-ject
of chapel talk given by Rev. Sid-ney
Nelson, editor of "The Baptist
Evangel", Friday, November 13. Rev.
Nelson said that we should not "kid
ourselves" about the place which we
are to fill in life, but we should de-cide
definitely what we like best and
what we are most capable of doing
and apply ourselves to that thing. He
also said that it is not important
whether we make a big name for our-selves
or not.
In the last issue of the Clarion, announcement was
made of a contest for a new school song. It is not neces-sary
to stress the need for one. That is too well-known.
Only a few days remain in which to enter your sug-gestion.
The deadline, set at December 1, is rapidly ap-proaching.
Surely there are many poets among Bethel's alumni
and students who feel enough school spirit to write a few
lines to be set to music in order that we may better sing
the praises of Bethel.
In spite of the slight disturbances of hammering and
the odor of creosote, all students who have used the old
gym floor are rejoicing. At last the new floor is taking
definite form.
This improvement is mostly appreciated by the athletes
who have suffered injuries at various times because of
the poor condition of the floor.
By Ralph Johnson
If a picture tells a story, it is interesting, but a
picture may be interesting without telling a story.
Such a picture must be well composed. Composi-tion
in photography has been defined as the ar-rangement
of all the parts of the picture to create
a pleasing impression on those who view it. The
important considerations are:
1. The viewpoint.
2. What to include.
3. The arrangement of material.
4. The light.
Unless it is impossible, study the subject from
every angle, then choose the viewpoint which shows
it off to the best advantage. Try "profiles", "low-angle"
or "unusual angle" shots. Move the camera
Restrict your subject matter to one main point
of interest. Include everything that will emphasize
that point and exclude anything that will detract
from it. Some things which detract are: expensive
and empty foregrounds, very dark or very light
objects any place but near the point of interest,
branches of trees or other objects without visible
means of support, anything foreign to the sur-roundings.
Exclude anything that will lead the eye
anywhere but to the main subject. Unity is the
key word in selection of material.
In arranging the material the main point of in-terest
should be, not in the exact center of the pic-ture,
but in the upper half and a little to one side.
There should be a little more space on the side
toward which the motion is directed. In the pic-ture
of a boy coasting a wagon there should be a
little more space ahead of him than behind him, or
it will look as if he were riding out of the picture.
In a picture of a person sitting or standing still the
motion is in the direction in which he is looking.
In the arrangement of material we strive for - bal-ance".
Light is the important thing in photography, and
not least because shadows result when its rays are
intercepted by opaque bodies. Light makes the
picture, but shadows make the picture interesting.
They give it depth, modeling, the third dimension,
or whatever you choose to call that certain quality
of "life-likeness". Edward Steichen, America's out-standing
photographer, took a thousand pictures
of a cup and a saucer in a study of the various
effects of different lighting arrangements. If you
want to make more interesting pictures you must
experiment with light! You have thought that you
must keep the sun at your back. That is about the
poorest place for it1 You will do much better by
taking your pictures "across" the light and at times
when the light falls on the subject at an angle. You
may go as far as to take a picture almost against
the light; this gives the silhouette effect. Be careful
that the light does not shine directly into the lens.
Lens shades are available, but your hand will make
a good substitute.
These suggestions may help you but it is only
through studying good photographs and trying to
take pictures like them that you will learn how to
compose well.

Nearly three hundred alumni, stu-dents,
and friends attended the fifth
annual homecoming festivities held at
Bethel Institute November 6. At 5:45,
about two hundred registered for the
mock college of one hour duration. Ten
minute classes in Swedish, mathematics,
history, and English were taught by
Muriel Johnson, Gordon Anderson,
Bruce Fleming, and Aymond Anderson
respectively. John D. Lundberg served
in the capacity of president and Joel
Strandberg, dean of the short-lived col-lege.
"B. A." and honorary degrees
were conferred on those fulfilling re-quirements
at the banquet following
the classes.
Albert Bergfalk, president of the
alumni association, presided at the ban-quet
held in the college chapel which
was decorated with streamers and bal-loons.
Musical numbers were given by
students of Bethel and three from a
male chorus consisting of former and
present members were rendered under
the direction of Virgil Olson. Rodger
Goodman delivered the "commence-ment
address" on "The Value of an
At the business session the present
year's officers were re-elected. Presi-dent
Bergfalk declined the office of pres-idency
for the ensuing year and Dr. C.
R. Wall was elected to the presidency
by acclamation.
The festivities began with open house
in the men's and ladies' dormitories be-ginning
at 3:30 in the afternoon. The
visitors judged the rooms as to which
was most attractively decorated. Room
225, occupied by Carl Lundquist, Don-ald
Tanquist, and Harold Wilson, was
chosen for the honor. The feature of
the room was an effigy of the three
boys "studying".
Students Plan Acitvities
For Thanksgivng Vacation
As the Thanksgiving season ap-proaches,
students are making plans
for that weekend. Beginning Wednes-day
afternoon at 5:00 P. M. and ex-tending
to Monday morning, vacation
days will find the students engaged in
various pursuits of preaching, visiting,
and working.
Several will spend the weekend at
their pastorates. Kermit Johnson will
serve at Lake City, Minnesota; Folke
Ferre at Dalbo; Pierre Tangent, Rus-sel
; Maurice Lawson, Isle; Clayton Bo-linder,
Hillman; Aymond Anderson,
Sandy Lake, Rodger Goodman, Harris;
Carl Holmberg, Minnehaha Baptist
Church, Minneapolis; Paul and Everett
Backlin and Ned Holmgren at Wood
River and Falun, Wisconsin; and Mau-rice
Wessman, Hilsdale, Wisconsin,
Gordon Anderson and Alrick Blomquist
will hold special evangelistic meetings
at Rush Point, Minnesota.
Carl Lundquist, Sioux Falls, S. D.;
Ralph Johnson, Dassel, Minnesota;
Caroline Nelson, Worthington, Minne-sota;
Muriel Johnson, Frederic, Wiscon-sin,
will spend their vacations at home.
Hope Widen, Margaret Larson, and
Phyllis Bohne will spend Thanksgiving
at Phyllis' home at Willmar, Minne-sota.
Warren Eklund is to spend the re-cess
with John Bergeson at Ogema,
Wisconsin. Gladys Peterson hopes to
visit with Olive Stanford at Olive's
home in Mankato. Herbert Franck will
visit his uncle, Professor Evan E. An-derson,
a faculty member of Gustavus
Adolphus College at St. Peter, Minne-sota.
Others will enjoy respite from their
studies in the dormitories and about
the Twin Cities in the homes of friends
and parents.

ment. Dark Africa with its thirty-five
evangelized tribes still has over three
hundred tribes without the Scriptures,
while two hundred tribes in India per-ish
for the lack of saving knowledge. So
tribe after tribe that needs the Word
of Life could be enumerated from all
parts of the world.
The solution of this desperate need
constitutes the purpose for the exist-ence
of the Pioneer Mission Agency.
To do pioneer work effectively in these
unevangelized tribes missionaries need
education and practical experience.
"Get all the education you can, God
can't use what you do not have," says
Dr. Legters. The task of translation
calls for the best of Christian young
people today.
Camp Wycliffe at Sulphur Springs,
Arkansas, organized in 1934 is a real
practice training camp for Missionary
candidates every summer. For two and
a half months they are given an op-portunity
to prove their ability in deal-ing
with problems encountered in the
mission fields. It is here that Dr. Leg-ters
gives a course on the distribution,
customs, beliefs, and methods of reach-ing
primitive peoples. During his ac-tive
missionary service in Latin Amer-ica
he has surveyed and explored; this
has "versed him more thoroughly than
any other man on the spiritual needs
and possibilities of the American In-dians,"
quoting W. Cameron Townsend.
Candidates passing the camp test rec-ommended
to mission boards and thus
out into active service.
This is the missionary outlook today;
millions have never heard; Christians
crave the live-giving word. With the
power of Him who said, "Go ye—and
preach . . . will the Christians meet
the challenge of today?
"Be not overcome with evil, but
overcome evil with good," was the
theme of the chapel talk given by Rev.
Emil R. Bolin of the First Covenant
Church of St. Paul, Tuesday, October
27. Rev. Bolin said that in this verse
he had an offensive and defensive
philosophy of Christian living—defen-sive
in that we should not be overcome
with evil, and offensive in that we
should overcome evil with good.
Dr. J. E. Klingberg Speaks
Dr. John E. Klingberg of Klingberg's
orphanage in New Britton, Connecti-cut
and Rev. Alfin F. Holmer of the
Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, gave
short talks at chapel Thursday, Oc-tober
29. Dr. Klingberg spoke about
the importance of meditation with God
and said that Psalms were very suit-able
for meditation. Rev. Holmer talk-ed
briefly about being sure of God. He
said that if we search for God, he be-comes
very real to us.
R. E. Nelson Addresses Chapel
"The life which substitutes his own
will for God's will is confounded" stat-ed
Rev. Reuben Nelson in chapel Tues-day,
November 3. In his talk, Rev.
Nelson told the story of how the people
of Babel were scattered abroad upon
the face of all the earth because they
had disregarded God's will and had
set out to make for themselves a name.
Child Evangelism Discussed
"Child Evangelism" was discussed
by Rev. J. Overholtzer before a com-bined
chapel Friday, November 6. Rev.
Overholtzer told the students about his
experiences with child evangelism and
said that he had found that a child of
five, properly instructed, could believe
and be regenerated as readily as any-body.
In his work, he dealt with each
child separately, as he would an adult.
Miss May Halstenrud
Bethel's latest recruit for definite
service in the distant harvest field is
Miss May Halstenrud who sailed for
Alaska on June 27.
Miss Halstenrud, a former student of
the Bible and Missionary Training
school, has taken over the task of be-ing
"mother" to a group of 25 or 30
boys in the Kodiak Baptist Orphanage
of Kodiak. She writes that as she ar-rived
at her station all the children
ran to meet her, but the boys drove
the girls away saying "Stay away, she
is our 'mother', not yours".
The girls up there are not "mother-less'',
however, for another Bethelite,
Miss Hannah Wiggman, Academy
1922, has already spent two years car-ing
for them.
"Christianity and the Christian Life"
Rev. John A. Swanson of the Sec-ond
Baptist Church of Chicago was the
chapel speaker Tuesday, November 10.
"Christianity and the Christian Life"
was his subject. One of the points which
Rev. Swanson stressed was that God
had made for us a perfect salvation—
one that would meet our needs perfect-ly
Evangelist Brings Message
"Are you at peace with God?" This
question was asked the students by Rev.
G. A. Cole at chapel Wednesday, No-vember
11. One of the telling state-ments
made by Rev. Cole was that
every man and woman who knew Jesus
Christ had no right to keep it to him-self.
Selected as the oustanding stars in
this year's volleyball league by vote of
the players themselves, the All-stars
proved their right to this title by trounc-ing
the league-champion Panthers two
matches to none in a "best two out
of three" series.
All three games in the first match
were hotly contested with the All-stars
having to come from behind to win the
match 2-1. With the games standing at
one apiece, the Panthers were unable
to win the final game although being
within one point of it. The second
match proved no contest at all.
All Stars Chosen
Those chosen for the all-star team
were Aymond Anderson, Carl Young,
Andy Sinkiewicz, Ned Holmgren, Bob
Wingblade, and Cliff Dickau. The last
two named were members of the Cham-pion
Panthers and therefore their
places in the Stars' lineup were taken
by Carl Holmberg and Don Tanquist
who received honorable mention.
Others receiving honorable mention
were Everett Backlin and Don Peterson.
This year's league proved to be the
best one held in recent years owing to
the fact that the teams were so evenly
divided. The final standings were.

serious damage while its victim, and
those in daily contact with the victim,
are unaware of its presence.
Supplementing the above statements,
the Christmas Seal organization an-nounces
that in recent times the fight
against tuberculosis has become more

Christmas Seals purchased means tu-berculosis

Debaters Continue Study;
Practice Debate is Held
Every Monday afternoon, at 2:40 in
room 110 of the College, are heard
the echoes of fierce verbal battles as the
debate squad, under the supervision of
Mr. Rogness of the Lutheran Seminary,
prepares for the coming debate season.
As usual, the first few meetings wit-nessed
a large turn out, but the number
has now dwindled to seven or eight
who are beginning to work on the
proposition for debate. The statement

text: I do think music helps you to get a better concentration , but I also believe that if you are not a really big fan of music it might be annoying , difficult to study and even get you in a bad mood. Even though I am a music lover , I still have those moments where I rather study in complete silence. Also your preferences are an important thing to consider, I know some people who dislikes the idea of listening to instrumental music while studying and loves studying with rock music or electronic music, something that works for me is to listen to music that I like in other languages while doing homework, so that I don't get distracted singing the lyrics but when it gets to study for real I tend to listen songs with slow beats and without lyrics.

All the confusion about whether or not current Windows Phones would get the next major version of the Windows Phone operating system started when a well-respected developer said the update was coming.
The developer, Nuno Silva, has now retracted that statement on his blog.
The Verge picked up Silva's statement.
In his blog post, Silva claims he meant to say Windows Phone 7 apps would work on the upcoming Windows Phone 8 software. He says he misspoke when he said the current line of Windows Phone 7 devices would get the OS update to Windows Phone 8.
This is the same statement Microsoft gave us when we asked if the current line of Windows Phones, including the Nokia Lumia 900, would get the upgrade to Windows Phone 8.
Meanwhile, The Verge is standing by its report that current Windows Phones will not get the update. Microsoft would not deny The Verge's story when we asked if it was true.
If The Verge is correct -- and we have every reason now to believe it is -- then current Windows Phone users will be left out when Windows Phone 8 launches this fall. It's even worse for those who just bought the flagship Lumia 900, since the phone will be outdated within just a few months of its launch.

Google's Festive Happy Holidays Logo For 2012
Google is featuring a Google logo, aka Doodle, for the holiday season this morning. The logo is incredibly happy and festive, with lots of colors and Christmas like characters and activities within the logo that makes up the letters in Google's name.
The logo can be found worldwide today, December 24th, on Christmas Eve. But when I peek ahead at Google Australia, where it is already Christmas day, I currently do not see a special holiday logo for Christmas. Maybe Google will surprise us?
Like every year, there is some concern that Google doesn't say "Merry Christmas" as opposed to "Happy Holidays" in the logo or the search result for clicking on the logo.

How does RC3 GPS measure altitude?
Polar RC3 GPS shows altitude data it receives from the Global Positioning System (GPS). To show altitude at the beginning of a training session, the monitor needs to be connected to a minimum of 6 satellites. During training, the number of connected satellites can be fewer but if the number goes down to 0, RC3 GPS will again need the minimum of 6 satellites to re-establish altitude.
My RC3 GPS doesn't have altitude. Can I get it upgraded?
You can upgrade your RC3 GPS with the altitude feature for a fee. Please contact Polar Central Service in your country for details.

Mentors Help Local Students Start Thinking About Collegeby Wade Coggeshall • December 1, 2006 Share:
It's never too early to start thinking about college. A group of 10 first-graders from Hoover Elementary School is learning that. They've been paired with 10 Wabash College students to participate in that school's chapter of College Mentors for Kids.
The concept is matching youngsters with college students of the same sex. Maybe these grade-schoolers lack healthy role models in their lives or haven't really been exposed to the idea of higher education. Through structured activities that occur two hours each week, they get a peek at life on campus and learn what potential the future holds. The hope is that it'll inspire them to strive for a good education and set goals early. The student-mentor relationship lasts four years, through fourth grade.
"Really what we're looking for is to serve a child who has not been exposed to higher education in his or her home life," said Laura Feldman, associate program director of College Mentors for Kids. "Our kids have the potential to be first-generation college students."
The program started in 1995 at Indiana University. Through 11 years it's grown to 20 chapters, with one established at Illinois State University by a Purdue University transfer.
Chris Serak, a junior education major at Wabash, started his school's chapter after learning about the program through his brother's girlfriend, who's president of Ball State University's branch.
"I've been working with kids for a long time," Serak said. "I'm an advocate for higher education. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to expose kids in Montgomery County who aren't typically exposed to higher education, give them a chance to see what college is like. Hopefully I can compel some of them to attend college."
Serak started working with Feldman and other program directors in January. He did a call-out for volunteers at the beginning of the school year and got a strong response.
"I had over 30 applications, which is good for the first time," he said. "I had a lot of professors contact me about helping out."
So far the chapter, which meets in a group every Thursday, has had activities like an African studies professor talk about Africa and giving the children an opportunity to ring the Monon Bell. Serak can tell a change in them from the first gathering to now.
"They were really reserved at first and kind of shy with their buddies," he said. "But they've definitely opened up a lot. When we have discussions about what is college, they can answer more quickly and appropriately. They know more."
Hoover Principal Kim Nixon is so far impressed with College Mentors for Kids.
"It's a wonderful program, and we feel very lucky to be able to participate with Wabash College," she said. "So far the kids seem to really enjoy it."
Nixon would like to see the Wabash chapter expand by including 10 new students every year until they have 40 students after four years. She'd also like to offer the same kind of mentoring to female students at Hoover.
"For the kids to just have the experience of sharing a couple hours with the Wabash students (is beneficial)," Nixon said. "They're just great guys. They want to give their time and be with the kids. That's really important."
The first children to ever participate in College Mentors for Kids are now in high school, so it's still too early to tell how effective it is. But Feldman has other indicators that show it's working.
"We do know from our annual evaluation of participants that kids in our program have better behavior in school, they have better relationships with their peers, have improved attendance and grades," she said. "That's really unique because we're not tutoring, but we're helping kids understand this is why I'm in school, this is what I want to do, and connect their current school with their future goals."
It's benefiting the mentors too.
"It's helped me as a leader, to be able to deal with my peers in a leadership role," Serak said.
Wabash College Mentors for Kids always need guest speakers to talk about different occupations and other interests. Those willing to volunteer their time can e-mail Serak at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Coggeshall is a reporter for the Crawfordsville Journal Review.

Cardium Announces Patent Award For Rights To Cardiovascular Gene Therapy For The Treatment Of Heart Disease
Resolves Long-standing Competition with Boston Scientific Corporation Over Rights to Cardiovascular Gene Therapy in the U.S. and Europe
Nov 19, 2012, 09:00 ET
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardium Therapeutics (NYSE MKT: CXM) today announced a winning patent decision in Europe and successful resolution of a long-standing competition between Cardium and its licensor the University of California, and Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) and its licensor Arch Development, over rights to key methods for the application of cardiovascular gene therapy to the treatment of coronary heart disease, as is employed in Cardium's Generx® gene therapy candidate currently in late-stage clinical studies. Following a decision by the European Patent Office, Cardium's patent portfolio now includes allowed and issued patents covering its gene therapy approach both in Europe and in the United States, with competing patent applications licensed and pursued by Boston Scientific having been successfully overcome in both Europe and the U.S.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20051018/CARDIUMLOGO)
The competing patent applications licensed by Boston Scientific Corporation had been filed by Dr. Jeffrey Leiden et al., currently President & CEO of Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and had been the subject of opposition proceedings in Europe and interference proceedings in the United States, both of which were ultimately resolved in favor of Cardium. Following resolution of the opposition proceedings and further examination of Cardium's case, the European Patent Office has now approved Cardium's patent application for grant in Europe. Three corresponding U.S. Patents that had been challenged by Boston Scientific Corporation (in decisions that were appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit), have been affirmed in Cardium's favor.
Cardium has additional patents and patent applications directed to its methods of cardiovascular gene therapy in the U.S., Europe, Russia and elsewhere, and the company recently filed new patent applications directed to certain improved techniques for the treatment of heart disease that are currently the subject of a Phase 3 registration trial based in Moscow, which is designed to generate additional safety and effectiveness data for the Russian Federation and other jurisdictions. Generx® (alferminogene tadenovec) is intended to stimulate the growth of collateral blood vessels to effectively bypass coronary artery atherosclerotic blockages without the need for surgical procedures or angioplasty and stents; and its safety and effectiveness have been the subject of clinical studies involving more than 650 patients in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. Generx has been assigned the trade name Cardionovo™ for planned commercialization in the Russian Federation. Cardium believes that its Generx clinical database represents the largest and most complete gene therapy dossier – and is directed to a major medical indication that is a leading cause of death throughout the developed world.
"The resolution of these important reviews of our gene therapy patents, and the consistent decisions in our favor including rulings by the U.S. courts of appeal, underscore the value of our patent portfolio, which we believe reflects a breakthrough approach to the treatment of coronary heart disease," said Dr. Tyler M. Dylan-Hyde, Chief Business Officer and General Counsel of Cardium Therapeutics.
Recently-published findings demonstrate that Cardium's innovative technique employing transient cardiac ischemia can be used to dramatically enhance gene delivery and transfection efficiency after one-time intracoronary administration of adenovector in mammalian hearts. Two consecutive but brief periods of coronary artery occlusion combined with co-administration of nitroglycerin increased both adenovector presence (measured by PCR) and transgene expression (assessed by luciferase activity) by over two orders of magnitude (>100 fold) in the heart, as compared to prior intracoronary artery delivery methods.
The research results published in Human Gene Therapy Methods extend those findings and demonstrate that Cardium's new technique for adenovector gene delivery in the heart can be used to dramatically boost adenovector delivery. By enhancing uptake even in patients with less severe forms of disease and ischemia, it would be expected to reduce response variability and allow for the potential treatment of patients with a broader range of associated coronary artery disease. The new treatment protocols for Cardium's recently-initiated ASPIRE clinical study have been developed to use this improved knowledge about induced transient ischemia techniques to enhance the non-surgical, catheter-based delivery of Generx to the heart.
Cardium has also been actively advancing its Generx product candidate's engineering and process technology in preparation for commercialization. The Company successfully transferred a refined, improved and fully-validated manufacturing process to SAFC®, the custom manufacturing and services business unit of Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (NASDAQ: SIAL), a top global specialty chemicals and biologics supplier, located in Carlsbad, California. As a result of the rigorous technical transfer process, important process improvements were achieved enabling much higher manufacturing process yields. Generx's long-term product stability has been established at a minimum of six years making it possible to manufacture product in large, cost effective batch sizes. The dose preparation process for Generx has been simplified through the integration of a fully-validated, closed-system drug transfer process incorporating the use of PhaSeal® System passive safety technology to streamline and simplify the cath-lab preparation and eliminating the need to prepare Generx in a sterile, biological safety hood. The Company has also developed a new and unique, fully-validated bio-activity release assay to measure and evaluate the pro-angiogenic potency of each newly manufactured batch of Generx.
The European Commission's recent approval of uniQure's Glybera® (alipogene tiparvovec) – the first gene therapy approval by a major health regulatory authority – is considered to represent a significant milestone and validation for the gene therapy industry.
About Generx and the ASPIRE Study
Generx (Ad5FGF-4) is a disease-modifying regenerative medicine biologic that is being developed to offer a one-time, non-surgical option for the treatment of myocardial ischemia in patients with stable angina due to coronary artery disease, who might otherwise require surgical and mechanical interventions, such as coronary artery by-pass surgery or balloon angioplasty and stents. Similar to surgical/mechanical revascularization approaches, the goal of Cardium's Generx product candidate is to improve blood flow to the heart muscle – but to do so non-surgically, following a single administration from a standard balloon angioplasty catheter. The video "Cardium Generx Cardio-Chant" provides an overview Generx and can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjUndFhJkjM.
In March 2012, Cardium reported on the ASPIRE Phase 3 registration study to evaluate the therapeutic effects of its lead product candidate Generx in patients with myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery disease. The ASPIRE study, a 100-patient, randomized and controlled multi-center study to be conducted at up to eight leading cardiology centers in the Russian Federation, is designed to further evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Cardium's Generx DNA-based angiogenic product candidate, which has already been tested in clinical studies involving 650 patients at more than one hundred medical centers in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. The efficacy of Generx will be quantitatively assessed using rest and stress SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) myocardial imaging to sensitively measure improvements in microvascular cardiac perfusion following a one-time, non-surgical, catheter-based administration of Generx. A recent article, "Cardium's Heart Disease Gene Therapy Advancing with New Discoveries", outlining the history of the Generx clinical development program is available at http://sandiegobiotechnology.com/topics/4705/cardiums-heart-disease-gene-therapy-moving-toward-commercialization/.
