The end of the first semester is fast drawing to
a close and the time of re-registration is here. Stu-dents
now on campus will register for second sem-ester
the week of Jan. 23-27. The dates have been
changed this year in an attempt to give the student
more time to think through his schedule in an effort
to eliminate the great number of changes that have
been made in other years. The only time a student
may obtain his fee statement is Jan. 23 - Jan. 27, but
if he has not done so by Jan. 27, he will be charged
a late fee. Students should be making appointments
With Jan. 23, heralding the advent of finals'
week at Bethel, the appalling reality that two-hour
exams are no longer vague entities in the far-distant
future becomes evident and attendance has soared
at evening seminars in the library since, seemingly,
students have "overcut" previously in the semester.
Here, Dave Hansen lures Judy Hasselblad, DeIrene
Hanni, Bev Joseph, and Jim Eckblad away from
their various quests for learning "to study for a
while in the coffee shop." Intellectual pursuits ig-nored,
the hero for an evening demonstrates his
with their advisers and working out schedules now.
Special class cards must be secured from the
college office for course titles that are preceded by
a double asterisk (**). A registration worksheet, in-itialed
by the adviser, must be presented when call-ing
for these cards. Students are requested to con-tinue
in the sections for which they were registered
first semester unless they are able to move to less
crowded ones. Tally cards are available now at the
college office.
When a student completes registration forms
(class schedule, grade cards, and tally cards, if need-ed)
he may then secure his adviser's final approval.
Second semester registration must be approved by
the same adviser who approved the first semester's
program. Fee statements will be obtained by pre-senting
the completed registration forms in the col-lege
office anytime during office hours between
Jan. 23 and 27.
All charges for tuition, fees, board and room
are due at the beginning of the semester. However,

February 20-24. Because of the
tremendous population explosion in
the past few years, this year's
Founders Week will deal with the
church and its responsibilities.
The meetings will be on the elec-tive
system with 10 courses be-ing
offered. They will deal with
problems of Sunday School Work-ers,
Educational Counseling with
Young People, Music in the
Church, and the Church and its
Evangelism. Most of the courses
will be taught by Bethel faculty.

Harriet Fitzgerald, painter and
lecturer, will be on campus Wed-nesday,
Feb. 8, for a convocation
at 10 a.m. at which time she will
speak on "Contemporary Expres-sionism
in America."
Miss Fitzgerald is known for her
ability to bring creative art to
life. Her visit here is being made
under the auspices of the arts pro-gram
of the Association of Ameri-can
Colleges. She has been one of
the arts program's most success-ful
visitors since 1955.
She is a native of Danville, Vir-ginia,
and attended Startford Hall.
and is also a graduate of Ran-dolph
- Macon Woman's College.
Her interest in art developed at
an early age, and she began her
study when she was eleven years
old. Her professional training was
received at the Art Student's lea-gue
of New York, principally in
the class of John Sloan, and in
the private classes of Maurice
Stern and the Cubist painter, Am-brose
Webster. During travels
in Europe, she studied at the chief

A service charge for this
privilege will be made as follows:
$2 with the down payment and $1
for each month or part of a month.
Students with bills payable to
the school should cover such in-debtedness
by payment in full or
by application for a formal loan.
Where loans are needed applica-tion
should be made immediately
in the student affairs office. (Reg-istration
for the second semester
cannot be completed unless the
student has made satisfactory ar-rangements
covering previous ob-ligations.)
Since these arrangements will
be completed before the grades for
the first semester are available,
all registrations will be considered
tentative and subject to re-study
in the light of the student's pro-gress.
New students registration and
testing will be held on Jan. 30, 31.
According to the college office,
40-45 new students will be enter-ing.
Among these are students
who have attended Bethel prev-iously
and also freshman entering
for the first time. Due to lack of
facilities it will be impossible to
admit more than this number.

Miss Fitzgerald has served as
director of the Abingdon Square

founding of that organization in
1948. This is a cooperative group
of professional artists, students
and other people interested in
painting. An important feature of
Miss Fitzgerald's visit here will

Il. Fitzgerald Will Address Convo
On "Contemporary Expressionism"
by Jim Nelson
Some of the most fascinating observing and
study is man's view of himself and other men. Man
senses in himself or in other men a quality inscrut-able
of analysis and measureless in depth. Man de-lights
in his ability to transcend himself and re-flect
on that which is external to him; and in that
which is of internal immediacy. Man is self-aware;
he can know. In this ability to know, man can enter
fully into intelligent purpose and worthy activity
commensurate with himself and his measureless
This view of man's greatness can only be made
sense of in view of God's revelation in Scripture.
In them we discover that God made man like Him-self,
in His own image. In this man is the only
creature who can enjoy fellowship with His Crea-tor
and Lord. In this experience we have man's true
state and perfection of nature. In this he derived
his stature and his greatness. God had specially
made man life Himself and for Himself.
The Fall into sin broke this perfect relation-ship
and man was lost. A number of results issued
from this catastrophic event, but one at times stands
out poignantly in our observations of man. Abraham
Joshua Heschel, the eminent Jewish scholar and
thinker, points ruefully and disturbingly to this re-sult.
"How embarrassing for man to be the greatest
miracle on earth and to spill out his time as if it
were scum. How embarrassing for man to live in
the shadow of greatness and to ignore it, to be a
contempory with God and not sense it."
Hove you ever been appalled by man's waste
of his qualities and ability ? Have you ever been
grieved and made tragically aware of your own
life, dissapated and rendered useless at times be-cause
of wastefulness ? Man has every cause for
embarrassment and shame at his spectacle of ruin
and loss because of wasteful living. This wasteful
image of man is in no way surprising when we find
that his energies are not one with the divine energy
of God; when his values and efforts are not at one
with God-willed purposes. Man is in a state of
brokenness and ruin. A waste of our God-given self
follows quite naturally from an inadequate, broken,
and disunited creature alienated from God by sin
and disobedience.
Man longs for wholeness as he experiences the
painful awareness of fragmentedness and lack of
unity. Through his being pours forth the desire to
be reunited, to take up the slack and unite his life
that wastefulness of self be swallowed up by ful-fillment
of self. One, who's life to many appeared
entirely wasted is, in reality, a life of perfect ful-fillment
and use. Jesus Christ completed the work
He came to earth to do. Before His death He uttered
the words of fulfillment: "It is finished." Christ's
life ended in death, but none of it was in vain or
wasted. He lived and died the perfect life. May His
fulfilled life live in us, that we might live fulfilled
lives, not in vain or wasted, but unto Him that gave
that we might have.
Luther Weigle Personifies Balance Between
Critical Scholarship and Christian Dedication
by Steve Peterson
"Now what can be more avail-able
thereto, than to deliver God's
book unto God's people in a tongue
which they understand?" This quo-tation
from "The Translators to
the Readers," preface to the first
King James Bible, adequately
serves as a text for our recent
convocation series with Luther Al-len
Weigle, Dean Emeritus of Yale
School of Divinity and Chairman
of the Revision Committee of the
International Council of Religious
Dr. Weigle began his opening
address, entitled "The Revised
Standard Version of the Bible," by
proclaiming that his revision com-mittee
had made no effort to
"change the Bible," but rather to
revise the outdated King James
Version. The first reason for this
necessary revision was that the
King James translation no longer
represented our increased number
of ancient manuscripts. The King
James text was based on eight
medieval documents, while we now
have approximately 4,500 manu-scripts,
200 of which can actually
be classified as "ancient."
Archaeological discoveries in the
past seventy-five years have
greatly extended our understand-ing
and appreciation of the an-cient
mind, and hence we are bet-ter
able to interpret the manu-scripts
that we now have. Dr.
Weigle stated, in support of this
second reason for revision, that "it
is our duty to put what we know
in the text as truth."
The most important need for
revision of the King James Ver-sion
results from the changing
usage of the English language it-self.
More than 1,000 words which
were accurately translated in the
King James text, have now chang-ed
their meaning. It is not just to
the King James translators to re-tain
these ambiguities.
Dr. Weigle pointed out some ac-tual
errors and inconsistencies of
the King James Bible and pro-ceeded
to describe the methods and
procedure of the thirty-two person
revision committee. He closed the
session with a comparison and
study of Hebrews 13:7 which he
felt beautifully illustrated the ad-vantage
of the Revised Standard
Version with its rendition; "Re-member
your leaders, those who
have spoke to you the Word of
God; consider the outcome of their
life, and imitate their faith."
The evening address, entitled
"The Making of the King James
Bible," listed the capture of
Constantinople, the invention of
the press, and the Renaissance
as having historical rele-vence
to almost a century of
English Bible translation that be-gan
with Tyndale's Bible in 1525.
Following Tyndale's translation
there were published the Cover-dale
Bible in 1536, Matthew's Bible
in 1537, the Great Bible in 1539,
the popular Geneva Bible in 1560,
the Bishops' Bible in 1568, the
Rheims Bible in 1582, and finally
the King James Version in 1611.
The King James text was the
culmination of eighty-five years of
translation and revision; it was
the first translation effort that
used the scholarly conference, it
was not a hurried work, and its
fifty-four scholars were compe-tent,
devoted and evangelical Puri-tans
and State Churchmen. The
bulk of the text were the most
appropriate words, terms, and
phrases from the earlier transla-tions,
especially Tyndale's Bible.
As Dr. Weigle described the
early opposition to the King James
Bible, one could not help but won-der
if he were also reflecting upon
the criticism the Revised Standard
Version is now receiving. Dr. Wei-gle
closed his address by tracing
subsequent Bible translation cul-

Editorial: "How embarrassing for man...to spill out
"X" -Children Were Here His time as if it were scum."
One of the glaring blights on the Bethel campus today is the de-facement
of signs and posters. Almost anywhere one can find bulletins
that have the obviously vital facts of a person's name, age, home town,
room number, and other bits of information that make up a mature
person. Often, however, they are just plain down-to-earth, little, funny
witticisms penciled in on the spur of the moment by some person keep-ing
his playful hands and intelligent mind in happy accord. This poster
desecration has gotten out of hand in this semester already. It is
time even halfway-mature Christian students get hold of themselves
and learn to keep their hands off of things that do not belong to them.
Needless to say, on the Bethel campus there are people who think
that the accepted thing to do is to keep a pencil handy on the ear to be
used if a particularly nice poster is put up. Obviously they are trying
to impress on the reader one of two things : that they have either a very
clever mind, or a pleasing handwriting. For the benefit of that class,
it is the popular concensus that both are lacking, the former glaringly.
Not only is it disheartening to those who make the posters, but
the comments penciled in are often made against other students and
other people from outside Bethel. During the past class elections there
were many campaign posters that received rude and uncomplimentary
remarks. To lose an election is bad enough, but when posters are
marred in such a way as to make a candidate seem unfavorable or
unqualified adds insult to injury. To lose an election honorably is fine,
but to lose with the realization that poster marring might have helped
is all the more discouraging. On the state election level the behavior
of certain Bethel students was deplorable. On the Bethel campus was
one of the prominent men of the nation whose name was often in the
news. His picture and poster advertising his appearance was placed in
the lunch line in the dining hall. Regardless of the students' political
sympathies, that poster should not have been touched. There were
those few, however, who felt it their civic duty to disfigure this man's
picture. In his speech, he praised Bethel for its openmindedness and
clear thinking when it came to voting in the state election. If he had
seen what had been done to his picture his changed view of Bethel
would certainly have been spread. He would have had no way of know-ing
that the entire student body was not responsible but that it was
the work of only a few select artists. He would think it odd that a so-called
"Christian" school should be so prejudiced against his party.
During Deeper Life Week there were many signs posted around
the campus urging students to attend the meetings and to pray that
God would work in hearts. On many signs, written in under the single
word "Pray," was the name of some student. While there is a small
amount of humor here it would not take an intelligent student more
than two seconds to see the sacrilege employed. Was the writer trying
to be funny? Surely not. No discerning person would use God's great
gift of prayer in such a slighting manner. Or would they? Why is it
that people attending a Christian school think that they can use the
Deity in such a scoffing way? Let us sincerely hope that during Foun-der's
Week none of this joking, if it can be called that, will be found.
The attitude of some of the students at Bethel seems to be that
they are here for a good time with maybe a small amount of studying
involved. It is hoped that these attitudes will be quickly put aside
along with childish antics. College is for mature men and women only.

Senate Sees Culmination
Of Two Important Projects
Within the last two weeks the Senate has seen the very satisfac-tory
culmination of two projects which have been of utmost concern to
the Senate during this year. The first concerns a policy regarding shar-ed
costs involved in the use of the fieldhouse for student-sponsored acti-vities.
For a number of years the Senate and its affiliated organizations
have had to face certain problems relative to costs involved in using
the fieldhouse and its equipment. Numerous problems have been due
to the fact that we just do not have adequate enough facilities to handle
the many types of programs of a non-athletic nature which are grow-ing
rapidly in proportion and creativity. However, the student senate
and the administration of the school have now developed a policy which
is agreeable to both parties. The points of the policy which I should
like to mention at this time are perhaps the most significant ones:
"4—For approved meetings, labor and costs shall be shared as follows:
(1) The school shall provide supervision for setting up and taking
down the requisite physical facilities. It shall pay added custodial and
utility costs that may be involved in opening the building. (2) The
school also shall provide labor for the setting up and taking down of
physical facilities that may be deemed too hazardous for voluntary stu-dent
help. (3) The student organization shall provide voluntary labor
to set up the physical facilities and to take them down following their
last use. (5) In the instance of jointly sponsored meetings in the field-house,
such as Homecoming, the school shall be responsible for setting
up and taking down the physical facilities it owns to the extent that
they are required. It will also be responsible for special set-ups, the cost
of which is borne by special income, such as banquet equipment covered
by the sale of tickets. Where other equipment is used, the student group
shall be responsible for rentals and labor costs. (Copies of the entire
policy will be sent to all student organizations on campus.)

Senate Sees Results
(continued from page 2)
The other Senate project which has now seen fruitful results con-cerns
the meal plan. The following two regulations will be worked into
the current food service operations as of next fall: (1) Students who can
present plans and facilities for meals as a function of housing may be
excused from participation in the meal plan. Such arrangements must
be cleared with both the landlord and the student affairs office within
the first week of school. (2) Juniors and seniors living off-campus may
elect not to participate in the meal plan, or to participate with the pur-chase
of a partial meal ticket. Such election must be declared at regis-tration
and will continue in force throughout the semester.
In addition to these important projects, the Senate at its last busi-ness
session voted to adopt the project of raising the needed amount
of money to complete the task of equipping the fieldhouse with cur-tains.
Thus far the senior class has designated $1,000, the Senate $500,
the Homecoming Committee $200, which amounts to $1,700 of the
needed $2,000. At present the Senate is in the process of securing a
contract bid so that the exact amount needed to be raised will be

famed Glyndebourne festival and
the San Francisco opera, with a
sheaf of high-priced concert and
television contracts awaiting ful-fillment.
Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, of
Italian and Irish heritage, Miss
Costa, whose musical talent was
early recognized by her parents,
was taken by them to Southern
California in order that she might
study seriously, but her father
died soon after and the necessary
money was not available. The lead
in an operetta at Glendale high
school brought her to the attention
of agents and eventually o a high-ly-
paid series of television com-mercials.
Jack Benny, who has
helped so many young talents,
urged her to resume studying for
opera, and gave her a chance to
sing an aria on his show. In the
summer of 1958, she was called
on to replace Elizabeth Schwarz-kopf
in a gala Hollywood Bowl
concert, and a Glyndebourne offer
to sing "The Secret of Suzanne"
came shortly after.
The American tour and London
season of Leonard Bernstein's
"Candide" followed and proved
that "an extraordinarily gifted
young singing actress," as Los
Angeles Times' critic Albert Gold-berg
called her, had definitely ar-rived.

commented, "Why does one girl

Royals Win Two in a Row
In B-G Conference Race
Bethel Girls
Win First Game
From Pillsbury
The Bethel women's basketball
team won its first game of the
season by defeating the women
from Pillsbury college by the score
of 46-35.
The first half was an evenly
fought battle all of the way with
the score standing at 18 to 17, in
favor of Pillsbury. Excessive foul-ing
in the first half hindered the
Bethel attack along with the
scrappy defensive play from Pills-bury
which was constantly getting
into the hair of the Bethel sextet.
greatly inspired Bethel team wield-ing
a potent scoring punch as well
as a tightened defensive play.
Since only the forwards are able
to score in women's basketball the
scoring column shows only three
girls doing the scoring for the
Royalettes. Nancy Gustafson took
the game honors by scoring a total
of 22 points, eight which were free
throws. Carol Peterson, the second
half spark, shared with 19 points
and Gladys Holmberg netted five
points. The defensive duties were
accomplished by Jan Peterson,
Lorie Geijer, Eunice Murra and
Rosy Thomas. Sharon Clark led
the opposition with 10 points.
A good number of the students
and faculty turned out to see the
triumphant women's team play.
Attendance exceeded the normal
group of spectators for the regu-larly
played "B" team game.
Coach John Holmberg was impres-sed
with the first performance of
the team; however, he stated,
"There are a few mistakes that
must be correctd by the time we
play our next game." The women's
team will- meet the Swedish hos-pital
team at 7 p.m., Feb. 2, on the
Bethel court.
Curt Hallstrom aided the Squire
cause with 18 counters.
The Baron squad, led by Robert
Samuelson's 15 points, nosed out
the Peasants '57-56 in a hard-fought
battle. Dave Hagfeldt's 23
points led the losing Peasants.
The Counts counted up a 53-44
triumph over the Pages. Bob Rey-nold's
15 gained top honors for
the winners, and Bill Holzworth's
14 was high for the Pages.
The Dukes poured it on the Jes-ters
to the tune of 62-38 Don Mc-
Kelvy sniped in 18 ringers as he
led his Dukes to an impressive
victory Bernie Froysland hit for
17 in a losing cause

Bethel's second straight confer-ence
win came Jan. 10 in a home
game with the Royals trouncing
the Pillsbury Comets, 100-66. Pac-ed
by the superb shooting of Tru-man

BB Team
Beats Lakeland
Highlighting a six game road
trip by the Bethel Royals was
their first Badger-Gopher confer-ence
game on Dec. 16, in which
they defeated Lakeland college,
93-79. The first half of the game
saw the two teams fighting neck
and neck, with Lakeland eeking the
Royals out, 45-44, at half time. In
the second half the Royals knock-ed
the props out from under the
Lakeland quintet and folded the
host team's chances for a victory.
In the five non-conference games
the team was confronted by
stronger competition which took
them down in defeat Superior, 74-
49; Mankato, 98-68; North Park,
62-49; River Falls, 85-71; and
Winona, 78-56.
However, Coach Healy isn't too
alarmed at this record as he said
the non-conference games were set
up with the larger schools at the
beginning of the season to provide
good competition and practice for
the remaining conference games.
The Royals have ten conference
games and one non-conference
game left this season.

minating with his work on the Re-vised
Standard Version. He proud-ly
defended the work of his com-mittee
as well as the Revised Stan-dard
Version itself with words
again taken from the King James
preface. "Yet for all that, as
nothing is begun and perfected at
the same time, and the later
thoughts are thought to be the
wiser; so if we building upon their
labors do endeavor to make that
better which they left so good; no
man, we are sure, hath cause to
dislike us; they, we persuade our-selves,

Dr. Weigle impressed us with
his proper balance between critical
scholarship and Christian dedica-tion.
I wonder if he did not show
us the true nature of conservative
scholarship towards God's Revela-tion
to man.

Good offensive play was the rule

How The DMCA Is Restricting Online Radio In Ridiculous Ways
from the can't-play-that-show dept
"now prohibited from forwardly announcing song titles, broadcasting more than three songs from the same album or four songs from the same artist in a three-hour period, making archived webcasts of their shows available online for longer than two weeks and making those webcasts available for download."The article points out that nothing in these restrictions will stop people from illegally downloading music, but they will serve to create an annoyance for the DJs who put together the programs for this station, and for listeners. Making shows available to download as podcasts, seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do to build up a fanbase. But... not allowed. The whole thing about preventing three songs from an album or four songs from the same artist in a three-hour period is the RIAA's ham-fisted way of trying to stop DJs from playing a whole album straight -- but it also kills off programs dedicated to a single artist. The article mentions, for example, how the University of Michigan's radio station can no longer air a radio show it used to have, dedicated to Duke Ellington. When I was in college, our student-run station had a show dedicated to the Beatles, which I imagine also could not be run today under these rules. Now, the article doesn't mention that there apparently are some ways to get waivers for these restrictions, but they appear to only be in very limited cases, and the details are somewhat secretive.
Yet another case of the DMCA putting in place ridiculous restrictions that do nothing to actually stop unauthorized copying.

Hang gliding
Reporter Jack Dolan hitches a ride with veteran flyer Fred Ballard over Sylmar. As the average age of hang glider pilots soars into the 60s and 70s, their sport, which was born in Southern California, teeters on the brink of extinction. Replacing them, a younger breed of pilots who favor a soft wing -- a steerable parachute, really -- pioneered by French alpineists looking for something compact they could stuff in a back pack that would offer suitably stylish descents from rugged peaks. To a layman, they're all gravity-defying daredevils but hang gliders and paragliders often regard each other with surprising contempt.

Police question Sterling over alleged attack
Police have questioned Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling over an alleged attack on a woman in the Toxteth area of the city.
The Liverpool Echo reported that Sterling, 17, was questioned by detectives under caution after attending a police station by appointment. He has not been arrested. Liverpool have declined to comment on the report.
Merseyside police said investigations were continuing, and a force statement said: "Merseyside police can confirm that a 17-year-old male from the Woolton area was interviewed under caution following a report of an assault on Friday 2 November.
"A 27-year-old woman received slight injuries during the incident. At this time, the investigation is ongoing and no formal action has been taken."
Sterling, who made his England debut in last week's friendly away to Sweden - becoming Liverpool's youngest-ever international - joined the Reds from QPR in February 2010.

making things for no reason
How time flies. Every so often I need to get away from the paper, pencils, pens, and paints but that rarely means I don't do anything. It would appear I have a compulsive personality. I know you probably already guessed that. Continuing with my recent interest in making small containers I spent the better part of a week working on this little thing - and it is little at 3½ inches in diameter and a bit more than 2 inches tall when looked at from the side.
Several weeks before we left Portland I realized I had to deal with the silk dyes I'd mixed for painting since they were all stored in glass jars and bottles that couldn't be packed for the move. I also had a lot of extra white silk pieces. So jar by jar and bottle by bottle I used up all the mixed colors. I wish now I'd taken a picture of my living room floor covered in newspaper, plastic sheets, and everything I could find to use as clotheslines to dry all the bits. It's pretty funny in retrospect. Once they'd all been dried, steamed, washed, dried again and ironed I ended up with a large number of brightly hued scraps for future projects. So here is one of them - cut, stitched, padded, beaded, and every inch was a puzzle to ponder. The inside top is the opposite side of the flower on the front. The inside bottom is padded thick red silk.
I did happen to learn about someone far more motivated than me. Have you ever heard of Baldassare Forestierre? In 1906 he bought land near Fresno CA where he hoped to start a farm. Unfortunately, the land was too dry but rather than give up the idea he began digging. Over the course of the next 40 years he carefully carved out 10,000 square feet of underground living space that included living rooms, studies, bedrooms, a chapel, a fish pond, and a network of gardens, trees and trellises all by hand and without architectural training. He'd been a subway digger in New York. The caverns are supported by Roman arches, columns and domes - many of which are capped by skylights to let in the light. He used only a pick and a shovel and worked at it in his spare time. Now that's what I call true dedication.
I've moved too many times to manage that particular devotion but I appreciate the hearts of those whose happiness lies in making the world just a little more beautiful for no particular reason at all.
Why not?

I am awed by how you can create such a unique expression on such a small face made of fabric. I will have to show this photo of your box to my mother when I see her this summer. She too is amazingly talented and will appreciate your handywork and your creativity very much.
I love the story of the man who dug himself into an oasis. Inspiring.

Beautiful! You have abundant patience and sense of beauty.
Love the story of the digging of an underground home, which reminds me a little of Nek Chand's Rock Garden of Chandigarh though it is above ground. And the cartoon is perfect: makers and destroyers.

Why not is right. That underground space is incredible. You find the most interesting things.
Now I'm wondering why you need a reason to make things. Surely the act of creating is its own reward. What you show us is full of beauty and whimsy. For that, we're lucky.

gina - It's so nice that you like it enough to want to share it with your mother. My paternal grandmother was also very skilled in fabric arts. I've often wondered if I inherited some of her talent.
Wasn't that a great story? The link has some remarkable details.
marja-leena - Thanks for the sweet compliment - patience is likely my main talent but that's not something to be sneezed at these days, is it?
I just looked up Nek Chand's Rock Garden and there certainly is a similarity of purpose and concept with Forestierre. There are others too I've run across which I may write about in future. Thanks for the tip.
lisa - Well, if I can't live in Hobbiton maybe I could move my stuff to Forestierre.
Of course, making things is its own reward but it's also very nice to share our work, isn't it?

that's amazing...both your little box and the man who built his city in, of all places, fresno! i love your creation, she's very sweet and looks to be gorgeously wrought. i have no doubt at all. ;) and i love the tininess of it too. can only imagine how difficult that must have been. a tad OCD, eh? ;)
it's lovely to ponder people willing to work hard just make the world a little nicer-fresno could sure use it and he must have agreed. xoxox

cr - Thanks! I'm quite pleased with her myself.
randal - You know me - always doing my part :-)
linda - There were a number of times I felt like my fingers were just too big for the job. I'm guessing Fresno wasn't so ugly in 1906 when Forestierre arrived there. Thank goodness he made one beautiful thing for that place.

Why not, indeed! You may have moved about, but you definitely make the world a more beautiful place. I swear, your story about dying all the scraps is one of the most priceless things I've read about! You are so amazing. And this gorgeous face...wow, she is wonderful.
Wonder who owns the Fresno dug-out world now. It should be a monument to creativity.

lydia - There are definitely many times when I wish I had a garden to plant come spring but since I don't have spot to call my own it's nice to have something I can do. Glad you like her as well. It really was pretty funny seeing my tiny laundry lines all over the living room floor.
From what I read I believe the Forestierre site is still run and taken care of by his descendants. That's nice.

Can the Giants afford to pay both Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum?
Matt Cain or Tim Lincecum? That seems to be the million dollar question for the Giants this spring. Can they afford both?
Many believe the answer is no. Eric Byrnes and John Hart said as much last month when Tim Lincecum signed his two-year, $40.5 million deal.
General manager Brian Sabean said yes.
"We'll have enough wherewithal in the budget to sign both players," Sabean said in early February.
But how can this be, when Cain and Lincecum could end up costing the Giants $50 million a season, or more?
Well, let's call it the Zito/Rowand Factor.
For the past four seasons and into 2012, the Giants have spent at least $30 million a season for Barry Zito and Aaron Rowand and received little in return. In 2013, that figure will drop to $20 million (just Zito). In 2014, it will just be Zito's $7 million buyout.
If the Giants can afford to spend more than $64 million on Zito, Lincecum, Cain and Rowand in 2012, they can afford to give Cain as much as $22 million in 2013 with Rowand's $12 million coming off the board. In 2014, Zito's contract comes off the board.
So, the Giants should easily be able to sign Lincecum and Cain for less than $64 million a season.
Not only that, but other contracts come off the board after 2012. Aubrey Huff ($10 million), Freddy Sanchez ($6 million), Jeremy Affledt ($5 million), Angel Pagan ($6 million) and Melky Cabrera ($4.85 million) are among the Giants who will be eligible for free agency after this season.
But there are other factors. Brian Wilson is eligible for his final year of arbitration in 2013. Buster Posey will be arbitration-eligible in 2013. Madison Bumgarner also could possibly join him. Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla are also arbitration-eligible.
Cain said on Saturday that he want to settle on a contract extension by the start of the season and is seeking "fair value."
But what is fair value?
The Giants reportedly offered Lincecum a five-year, $100 million offer, which he rejected before agreeing to the two-year, $40.5 million deal.
MoreSplashHits thinks that offer was more designed for Cain than Lincecum. The Giants offered it knowing Lincecum would turn it down. Then they could turn and make a similar offer to Cain.
The fact that Cain hasn't nibbled yet indicates he could be seeking more — perhaps along the lines of the five-year, $120 million deal Cliff Lee got from the Phillies last year.

Jaffe: Dow 17000 Is Just Another Number
Marketwatch's Chuck Jaffe thinks Dow 17000 is just another number and attention on similar milestone marks draws attention away from larger issues.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... been been been BdB ... Dow seventeen thousand ... it's a big round number that gets people talking about what's next for the market but there's one big problem with these milestone markers ... MarketWatch's Chuck Jaffe is here to explain chalk thank so much for joining us thanks for having said that the seventeen thousand we are not all that excited about it why not ... well ... I'm about as excited as you would be if you're is a driving ... down the road and across from one state in the next ... but how does that knowing a on now in New Jersey your I'm now out of Massachusetts ... but that you're not really in a stop and celebrate and you're not really going to be that concerned about it and that's about as much significance ... is pretty much any number has ... with the exception of the fact that those of us in the media fill a compelling need to talk about it because it got ... you know twenty four hour initial though ... so with all our fault it's the media's fault and what is the light of these big round numbers get so much attention ... well they get attention because we want to believe in numbers we ... we want to try to find a pattern even if none exists and so ... you hear things I know people say that seventeen thousand is gonna be a tough number for the Dow to break through ... white sevens are tough for them sixes or a certain audience you know ... that stuff silly ... it ... it's ... basically ... one of those things that we want to find meaning to it and the truth is that's not where the meaning it's ... it's just a milestone ... and the point you make in your column on MarketWatch is that ... that the number isn't really so significant is the path and how you get to the number what you do after the numbers what's really important ... well I knew how to recognize that what's significant is that ... if you went back to say twenty years it was down four thousand ... and as much as you can look at the last twenty years and people say oh there was that ten year stretch where the market was flat and etc etc so or not you're right ... but it was ... down four thousand two hundred and fifty ... and it's now four times that number ... in ... about twenty years ... so ... for all of the polygamous what's going on I've gotta get our I've gotta get in ... but you might mostly is to make sure you pass the mile markers ... so ... when we get these big numbers people do one of three things either go oh it's too high I need to start to back out because something that's gonna happen or they go ... I haven't been riding in on this bull market I need to get it because looking to move past this number ... but those are all basically one ignore it and save a lot ... I know that over the next ... twenty years thirty years forty years the market's going to be up and I won at least make sure that with a big chunk of my money ... I capture that no matter how many times across different milestones ... along the way ... I accept no Dow seventeen thousand hats for

[This] is an opportunity for our state to honor Americans of Japanese descent who suffered a significant injustice. Warren Furutani, CA Assembly Member
In 1942, an estimated 250 Japanese American students were forced to leave their CSU campuses and relocated to internment camps, under federal Executive Order 9066.
In September 2009, the CSU Board of Trustees unanimously voted to honor the academic intentions of these students by awarding them Special Honorary Bachelor of Humane Letters degrees.
Learn more about the Nisei project.
Sharing and Celebrating Stories
Nearly 70 years after Executive Order 9066 forced 250 California State University students to leave their campuses without completing their degrees, several former students' stories will be brought to light through a video project titled
The California State University: Sharing and Celebrating Stories from Nisei Honorary Degree Recipients.
The production and dissemination of the stories is funded by a $23,000 grant to the CSU Chancellor's Office from the California State Library through the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program. If you are interested in attending a screening, please see the schedule above. Additional screenings will be announced as they are scheduled and the videos will be made available online at a later date.

Every year the human population suffers from seasonal outbreaks of influenza resulting in both illness and death. However, the rates of illness and death from seasonal outbreaks are significantly lower than those suffered during times of influenza pandemic, such as those experienced in 1918, 1957, and 1968. The reason for this difference lies in presence of immunity within a population. With seasonal outbreaks of influenza most people have some immunity to the circulating strain and usually only those with weakened immune systems experience serious complications. Influenza pandemics, in contrast, are the result of a completely new viral subtype to which nobody possesses an immunity, leaving everyone vulnerable to the most serious of complications.
It has been estimated that the next flu pandemic could cause over 200,000 deaths and over 700,000 hospitalizations in the US alone. The need for an effective viral vaccine is high. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and immunogenicity of a live influenza A strain vaccine, which would be able to combat an influenza pandemic.

Experimental: H7N7 Vaccine
Participants will be administered two doses of the candidate live influenza A H7N7 vaccine
Biological: Influenza A H7N7 vaccine
Participants will be administered two doses of the candidate vaccine at a dosage of approximately 10^7.5 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50), in the form of nasal spray. The doses will be administered 28-62 days apart.
- Immunogenicity as measured by Anti-H7N7 antibody and seroconversion [ Time Frame: Measured on Days 2 to 9 and 26 to 37 ]
- Determine the frequency of vaccine-related reactogenicity events (REs) and other adverse events (AEs) for 2 doses of vaccine [ Time Frame: Measured on Days 2 to 9 and 26 to 37 ]
- Frequency of vaccine-related reactogenicity events (REs) and other adverse events (AEs) for each dose [ Time Frame: Measured on Days 2 to 9 and 26 to 37 ]
- Area under the curve of nasal virus shedding after each dose of vaccine [ Time Frame: Measured on Days 2 to 9 and 28 to 37 ]
- Amount of serum and nasal wash antibody induced by the vaccine [ Time Frame: Measured through Day 208 ]
- Number of vaccinees infected with the H7N7 NL 2003/AA ca recombinant vaccine candidate [ Time Frame: Measured through Day 208 ]
- Phenotypic stability of vaccine virus shed [ Time Frame: Measured through Day 208 ]
- Determination of whether immunogenicity is enhanced by a second dose of vaccine, and whether the first dose of vaccine restricts replication of the second dose [ Time Frame: Measured through Day 208 ]
- T-cell mediated and innate immune responses against the H7N7 NL 2003/AA ca recombinant vaccine candidate [ Time Frame: Measured through Day 208 ]
- Development of serum antibody, as assessed by either hemagluttinin (HAI) or microneutralization (MN) assays [ Time Frame: Measured through Day 208 ]

I've seen Elvis at 70 on the cover of the Weekly World News; I've seen James Dean as an old man too, usually while I am waiting in line at the drug store where they sell the tabloids; I've seen Alfred E. Newman as President Bush. Princess Diana at 50? No big deal.
But wait, this is Newsweek. When did they become the reincarnated Weekly World News or the National Inquirer or the new MAD magazine?
The recent Newsweek cover depicting Princess Diana as a 50-year-old companion to the new Princess Kate caused a stir and I was asked what I thought about it since it was obviously a Photoshop manipulated photograph. My first response was, "I have no problem with that." Due to my 20-year-plus campaign against digitally altered photographs, people were a little taken aback. But then I asked, "What is the very first question you need to ask when manipulation is involved?" It's this, isn't it? "Does this photograph deceive the reader?"
Tacky, yes; tasteless, yes. But does it deceive the reader? Unless you have been living under a rock you know the Princess has been dead for a long, long time. There is no attempt to lie so I see no ethical breach. However, I do see a journalistic disaster.
It seems inappropriate to create a digitally manipulated photograph that looks real and use it on the cover of a magazine that purports to tell only the truth. Pandering in order to increase sales is not a pretty thing. It is a misuse of technology, but not a lie as such, unless it ends up in some archive. The problem with "what if" types of manipulations that look real is that they can become accepted as real when taken out of their original context. When former Texas governor Ann Richards died, one of the wire services put out a file photograph of her sitting on a motorcycle – but had to pull it quickly when it was pointed out that this was the famous Texas Monthly Photoshopped cover wherein the only part of the photograph that was her was her head (all the rest was of a model in a studio).
It seems to me that one of the other axioms I have used for over 20 years of talking about this issue needs to be emphasized: If it looks real, in the context of news it better be real.
If you are going to make a photographic illustration, make it an illustration. A photographic illustration that looks real is not an illustration; in the context of news it is a lie. Time had a cover years ago that worked fine. It showed a 1930s street scene in black-and-white while a Photoshopped man selling apples from today was in color. The cover used photographs to make an illustration but there was no mistaking that this was a construct. There are a million ways Newsweek could have made the Diana cover look like the illustration it really was – mix black-and-white and color, use a drawing, etc.
But this would not have the shock value, the spookiness that many people have pointed out. By looking real the reader was confronted with an uncomfortable queasy feeling. The best word was from the Star Tribune, which called the cover "grotesque."
This is Newsweek, one of the top news magazines. They deal in the real. This isn't People or Men's Health, etc. Maybe the proper place for a story such as this would have been Vanity Fair. (And here, the light bulb comes on.) Isn't the editor of Newsweek Tina Brown? And didn't she used to be the editor of Vanity Fair? Aren't news magazines an endangered species, and aren't they all trying everything they can think of to stay alive?
Is the cover of a magazine or a book an advertisement? Legally it is, but does this make it ethical to do what you want to the cover photographs? In the Day In The Life series of books, every cover except the Day In The Life of Russia was heavily manipulated and the publishers always said this was okay because the cover is an advertisement. The problem was then, and is still the same today, for Newsweek ... if the cover has been manipulated and is a lie, why should we believe everything on the inside is truthful? If it is not real on the cover, how can we believe the information on the inside is real?
News magazines and newspapers are dying and not all of it is due to social and technological change. Some of the problem is self-inflicted.
The digitally enhanced cover depicting an aged Diana, with Kate Middleton gazing at her dead mother-in-law, is just grotesque and unprofessional.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) ? Over the last five years, American hospitals have sent at least 600 immigrants who were in the U.S. illegally back to their home countries to avoid paying for long-term care after serious illness or injury.
The Center for Social Justice at Seton Hall University has documented "medical repatriation" cases in 15 states involving patients from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Lithuania, Mexico, the Philippines and South Korea.
Here's a look at some of the most dramatic examples from a report issued in December:
Quelino Ojeda Jimenez was working atop a building at Chicago's Midway Airport in 2010 when he fell, suffering injuries that left him nearly quadriplegic and reliant on a ventilator.
Advocate Christ Medical Center cared for Jimenez for four months, absorbing more than $650,000 in costs, according to a 2011 Chicago Tribune story.
Three days before Christmas that year, the hospital put him aboard a medical flight and sent him to Mexico, even though his family protested. Crying and unable to speak, Jimenez could do nothing to prevent his removal.
The receiving hospital in Mexico lacked rehabilitation services and could not afford new filters for his ventilator. After suffering two heart attacks and a septic infection, Jimenez died on Jan. 2, 2012.
Luis Alberto Jimenez was working as a landscaper in Florida when the car he was in was struck by a drunk driver in February 2000.
Jimenez, then 35, suffered brain damage and other injuries and was treated at Martin Memorial Medical Center in Stuart, Fla., until June, when he was transferred to a nursing home.
The following January, he was readmitted to the hospital with an infection that doctors feared could be fatal. He stayed at the hospital for a year because no other long-term care provider would take him.
The hospital eventually filed a lawsuit in state court seeking permission to transport him to a hospital in his native Guatemala. A judge approved the flight in June 2003, and Jimenez was flown to Guatemala before the court could rule on an appeal filed by his legal guardian.
In mid-2004, the Florida District Court of Appeals overturned the lower court's order, declaring that state courts do not have the authority to permit deportations, which are regulated by federal immigration law. But by then Jimenez had been returned home, bedridden and suffering from seizures, to live with his elderly mother in a remote area of Guatemala.
Barbara Latasiewicz was working as a housekeeper in the Chicago area in 2009 when she had a stroke while scrubbing a bathtub. The Polish woman was paralyzed on her left side and needed around-the-clock care.
Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital tried to find her long-term care, but 30 facilities refused to take her because she was undocumented. Latasiewicz had overstayed a temporary visa after arriving in the U.S. in 1990.
The hospital allowed her to stay without insurance or any other way to pay for 2? years at a cost of more than $1.4 million.
In early 2012, arrangements were made to transfer her to a stroke-specialty unit in Poland. She refused to consent to the transfer, which would permanently separate her from her son and grandchildren. The hospital obtained a judge's order allowing her transfer to Poland.
A March 1 story in the Chicago Tribune says the 60-year-old woman cried while sitting in the airport awaiting a flight out, knowing she would probably never return to the U.S., which had been her home for more than 20 years.

If you've been following on our blog, you've read how Zach, from our home office, had prepared his body and his bike gear to get ready to tackle the challenge of Jeremiah Bishop's Alpine Loop Gran Fondo in Virginia. But we couldn't just send him up to the ride by himself, so we put together a team of 3 to report back on the most challenging and adventurous Gran Fondo in the United States!
Below is a photo of our crew the night before the big ride, with Jeremiah Bishop in the middle, sporting his extra-special white tuxedo for the pre-ride dinner (he was the host, after all). Ross, on the left, is a merchandise assistant in our bikes division – and is also an all-around fast dude on a bike. David works in our marketing department as our social media guy – documenting adventures such as this ride. And finally, Zach, one of our web merchants, is on the right – he's been training hard all year to lose weight, gain fitness and get ready for the Gran Fondo. Read on below to find out how the ride worked out for each member of our team.
After hearing rave reviews from a few friends, I knew that the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo had to be highlighted on my calendar this year. Any time you hear the words mountains, bikes, beer, gravel, and fundraising in an event description, a great time is to be had… and it was. I was very thankful to have taken Jeremiah up on his pre-fondo training ride a few weeks prior to the main event. This ride gave me a chance to test out new equipment on many of the infamous sections of the course such as the hour long paved and gravel climbs and subsequent hair-raising descents of Reddish Mountain. This ride was when I discovered my fondness for road tubeless setups and disc brakes on the road.
I'll start my recap with a quick rundown of my bike setup, since it was a little different than the other guys. I rode a Scattante CFX Black cyclocross bike, running on Stan's ZTR Alpha 340 disc front and rear wheels with Maxxis Padrone 700x23c tubeless tires, set up tubeless with Stan's sealant (of course).
Following a brief staging, the ride was underway, we were winding through the streets of historic Harrisonburg and then off into the farmlands of the foothills. After an hour riding over rollers, you could feel the peloton starting to get a little antsy as the first timed climb of the ride began and the pain began. It wasn't long before I was up near the front hanging on for the next several miles as Ben King set the pace. As we passed over the summit, I was very thankful to have disc brakes on the wide open descent into the valley. The Avid BB7 road disc calipers provided consistent stopping power no matter what the descent had in store.
With the first climb out of the way, the small re-grouping at the front was off to tackle the next few climbs… which happened to be the hardest of the day! The second climb was 30 minutes riding 10-20% grades on gravel. It was nothing short of exhausting with no chance for legs to recover. The next few climbs were paved but equally as steep and energy draining.
Half-way through the ride, and with virtually no chance for recovery and another food/water break, the "final" climb of the day, a gravel road to the top of Reddish Knob, was breathing down our neck. I don't think that this road can really be considered "gravel", it is more of a road cut into solid stone. Tubeless tires won the day on this rough terrain with low tire pressure and virtually no chance of a pinch-flat.
After a grueling hour of climbing, the final check point came and went with a sigh of relief. It was only downhill to Harrisonburg, or so it showed on the course profile. But don't be mistaken by the elevation loss, the last 20 miles of the Gran Fondo were extremely hard! Fatigue and saddle time had taken their effect but the finish was so close that it encouraged us to ride harder – that and the fact that gobs of food and New Belgium beer were waiting at the finish line.
If you plan on riding the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo, be sure to look at Jeremiah's equipment recommendations on the event website. The route is nothing short of brutal.
I had one advantage over my coworkers, Ross and Zach, going in to the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo – I had completed the ride last year. Yes, Zach and Ross had gone up to Harrisonburg for a special training ride with the host of the event, Jeremiah Bishop, but there's nothing quite like riding the whole route and knowing how your body will react. Then Jeremiah went and changed the route! So it was back to square one for me – I knew how hard the first road climb and the last rolling miles into town were, but the whole middle of the ride (including the fearsome backside of Reddish Knob) was going to be a new experience. My only real equipment change from last year was rolling on a Stan's ZTR Alpha Comp Road Wheelset, set up tubeless with Stan's sealant.
At the start of the ride, I rolled along comfortably ensconced in the peloton with my coworkers – the pace was casual until the first big climb of the day. And that's the last place I saw them until the finish line – Ross motored on up the road with the leaders, Zach started his battle to finish under the time cutoff for the glockenbell finisher's medal, and I settled in to a comfortable place somewhere in between.
It's always interesting on rides like this how quickly you find the group that is going your same pace – for the whole rest of the day I saw a rotating group of the same faces as the pack that crested the first climb near me – a moving mini-group within the group. The good news is that I felt better than I had last year – although for some reason the second dirt road climb felt even harder than before. I blame selective amnesia – 20% pitches on a bumpy dirt road will do that!
The highlight of the ride had to be the soul-crushing ride up the backside of Reddish Knob, a new addition to the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo route. I neglected to read up on this devious climb beforehand, so I was convinced that it was only 3 or 4 miles. Nope, that's not Jeremiah's style. Instead it was 9 miles of undulating dirt and gravel road, checkered with potholes, steep climbs, flowy mini-descents, and a finish high atop Reddish Knob with a stunning 360 degree view of the mountains.
On this climb I experienced the high and low-points of my ride. The high point (other than the delicious rest stop food – Nutella, waffles and Orangina are my new favorite mid-ride snacks) was finding an extra burst of speed and power halfway up the climb, which found me flying by fellow riders and the expertly placed photogs from Joe Foley Photography. My low point came shortly afterwards, where I paid for my sudden acceleration with the most painful leg cramps that I've ever experienced – I was only able to soldier through by pounding down as many margarita flavored extra-sodium Clif Shot Bloks as I could stomach. All in all, it was another grueling, amazing and memorable ride (and my longest ride ever at 107 miles), and I can't wait to give it another go next year!
I've had a few weeks to digest the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo. The scenery, both beautiful and tranquil, provided a picturesque background in which to suffer. The event was quite the experience. There was almost every type of cyclist there. Everyone from "fat bike" riders, to Radio Shack Nissan team pro Ben King, and of course, the emcee of the weekend, the man himself, Mr. Jeremiah Bishop. Everyone had fun. Everyone suffered. Everyone made new friends. We suffered together, we laughed together. There were long grinding climbs, world class descents, and hours of relentless focus.
As for me, I did what I set out to do. Finish in under 10 hours – I did it in 8 hours and 45 minutes.
Every time I tell recall the experience, whether to friends or just in my mind, the more details I remember. It's as if it was an epic, suspenseful movie with ups, downs, twists, and turns. Every time you watch the movie, you pick up on new things you hadn't noticed the first time you watched it. I remember the folks I had conversations with, where they were from and what inspired them to ride in the ALGF. I remember suffering for hours, by myself, turn after turn yielding nothing but more elevation around the next corner. I remember that pothole I hit at 38mph during a 15 mile descent around mile 80 that could have thrown me from the bike and thinking that, 'I should try not to lose focus'. After all, I had ridden 80 miles and climbed over 10,000 feet at that point in the day and my mind and body was fading.
I could point out around 20 highlights of the weekend in general, but the two that stand out the most have to be the second climb of the day, and crossing the finish line. The second climb of the day was 3 miles, 1400 feet, on gravel, with nothing but 15-20 percent grade stair step pitches. Many people were walking up most of the pitches. Somehow I managed to stay on the bike, and never walked at any point during the day. Epic. Finishing goes without saying. It was just good to accomplish something that I had spent all summer thinking and training for.
All in all, this was the hardest event I've ever done in my life. After three weeks I'm just starting to get my legs back. I'm undecided as to whether or not I'll try and tackle it again next year, but I highly recommend it for anyone looking to take their riding to the next level. I did things on a bike that I never would have dreamed about when I first started riding a few years ago. It was an event I'll never, ever forget. Thanks to all my supporters who helped me do it, and most of all, my wife! From here on, I'm looking forward to bike rides to the park with the family, Spaten Oktoberfest, and the off season. Oh yeah wait, there is no off season!

Plus we want to give a special shout-out to all of the volunteers at the Gran Fondo, who did a great job of making everyone feel welcome all weekend long – and especially to Jeremiah and his wife Erin, who were gracious hosts for this great event, even if Jeremiah did poke fun at Zach after the ride:
