Realizing the impossibility of
teaching the national language

there is the problem of dialects)
the most realistic solution is to
give the student a basic practi-cal

by a willingness to learn.

of the program there are
several serious weaknesses in the

One inadequacy of the program
is the lack of sufficient prepara-tion.
This has been shown in
several ways. A complete dichot-omy
exists between students and
missionaries over the matter of
advance communications.
T h e missionaries state that
there is adequate correspon-dence;
the student disagrees.
Participants say, too, that the
advance correspondence from the
missionaries did not have the
desired information with regards
to customs, clothing, etc.
Coupled with this is the partici-pant's
expression of inadequate
preparation and information re-garding
the project itself. An in-service
training program could do
much to alleviate this problem.
Lack of adequate preparation for
meeting the language barriers is

Dr. Burtness To Discuss
Death of God' Theology
Led by a young Lutheran theologian, Bethel College stu-dents
will examine a modern religious controversy in convoca-tion
next week.
Dr. James Burtness, professor at Luther Theological Semi-nary
in St. Paul, will speak Tuesday morning, December 14,
on "The 'Death of God' and Contemporary Theology."
At age 37, Dr. Burtness has had a varied teaching and preaching
career. While studying for his doctorate, he was a teaching fellow
at Princeton Theological Seminary from 1954-55, then began his work
at Luther Seminary.
A pastorate at the Faith Lutheran Church in Albany, Oregon for
two years preceded his appointment to an assistant professorship at
Luther in 1960. He was named Associate Professor of Systematic Theo-logy
in 1964.
In the summer of 1962 and again during the 1963-64 school year,
Dr. Burtness worked and observed life in India. He was Visiting Pro-fessor
of Systematic Theology New Testament Studies at the Gurukul
Theological College in Madras, India during these periods.
Dr. Burtness' interest in recent theological thought is reflected in
the topic of his doctoral thesis, ESCHATOLOGY AND ETHICS IN THE
His active interest in contemporary viewpoints has led to his publi-cation
of three books and work as associate editor of the religious
journal, Dialog.
The "Death of God" issue is of special interest at present because
of different interpretations by each supporting theologian, but several
basic ideas prevail.
First, Jesus is considered to be the supreme example to follow,
yet he was not God, but because of his magnitude of morality was
defined as God.
Secondly, man is said to be taking the form of the "image of God,"
the ideal being, and his scientific society has the basic form of the
peak age of history.
Background for the "Death of God" themes is taken from a number
of past thinkers, particularly Dietrich Bonnhoeffer, the German theo-logian
of pre-World War II days, who in his writings spoke both of the
man "come of age" in a highly-developed society and of a "religionless

TO GOD said the essential thing was to live for others as had Jesus,
but denied Christ's deity. The German philosopher Nietzche and his
denial of the existence of God are also included in aspects of the

Dr. Houtart is the author of
several books in the French lan-guage
published in Belgium and
in France and the co-author of

Students To Circulate Petition
The following petition will be circulated this week to Bethel
College students by Sharon Johnson, post office box 474.
We, the undersigned, support the U.S. government policy of the war
in Vietnam—because we agree with President Johnson that;
1. If we are driven from the field in Vietnam, no nation can
ever again save the same confidence in our promise or pro-tection.
2. Surrender in Vietnam would not not bring peace—because
we learned from Hitler at Munich that success only feeds
the appetite of aggression.
3. Once the Communists know that a violent solution is
impossible—then a peaceful solution is inevitable.
We must have the courage to resist or we will see it all, all that
we have built, all that we hope to build, all our dreams of freedom—
all will be swept away in the flood of conquest.
Vietnam Policy Requires
Wider 'Interest' Definition
The following impressions were largely gained from the
editor's experiences in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia during the
past summer.
It is a strange paradox of history that moralistic America
is always able to enter the crusade against international Com-munism,
but never quite able to transcend her self-interest in
so doing.
We have become so obsessed with the losses in prestige
which we fear would follow a temporary setback in Vietnam
that we have become oblivious to the much more serious loss
of prestige which accrues by continuing the war in the present
Hans Morgenthou reminds us that "The prestige of a
nation is not determined by the success or failure of a
particular operation at a particular moment in history."
"Quite the contrary, it reflects the sum of a nation's qualities
and actions, of its successes and failures, of its memories
and aspirations."
Reinhold Niebuhr states, "The important issue is that
a web of mutual and universal or general interests is discovered
in which the national interests are inextricably related, so that
a narrow definition of the interest of the nation would lead
to the defeat of that interest."
The negotiation of every political conflict necessarily
involves a temporary setback to what each of the competing
nations visualize as its "position of prestige", a position some-what
evolved in the passions and propaganda of war.
Our position ought rather to be based on "a residual
loyalty to values", in Dr. Niebuhr's words, "transcending
national existence, which may radically change a nation's
conception of the breadth and quality of its 'national in-terest'."
The real test is the willingness of a nation to make a
meaningful first offer to the other side, even at the cost of
sacrificing for the time being what it visualizes as its own
interest — the key step the Johnson Administration has yet
to take in world politics.
It was argued in official circles last spring that we were
not in a political position to negotiate because we were losing
the war militarily. By sheer force of manpower and ruthless
use of firepower we have now made the war in South Vietnam
temporarily militarily unlosable — at the cost of possibly losing
completely whatever popular support we had in that country.
The political breakthrough is ours to make. The Com-munists
find it to their long range strategical benefit to
let hostilities die slowly. Certainly the Viet Cong have not
been given a reasonable political alternative.
A major political alternative acceptable to the Communists
at least involves a shake-up of American pre-suppoSitions. A
peace conference must involve all interested governments,
including recognized representatives of the National Liberation
Front, the political arm of the Viet Cong. We can hardly begin
to consider the political demands of a government which does
not officially exist.
Finally, the United States of all nations ought to be able
to submit at least some aspects of the Vietnamese conflict to
the United Nations under Article 35 of the Charter and submit
to a United Nations supervised cease-fire. Whatever our moti-vation
in co-operating with the spirit of the organization to
date, its relatively ambiguous structure may be the most
convenient and least politically embarrassing to turn to.

`Proper Setting of Christian Renewal
Still Remains Church,' Says Yerkes
the CLARION Wednesday, December 8, 1965
James 0. Yerkes is an instructor in theology
and apologetics at Wheaton College, Wheaton,
Illinois. The following is the edited version of a
chapel address given at Bethel College Thursday,
December 2nd.
by James 0. Yerkes
In my opinion one of the most heartening trends
in Christendom today is the rediscovery of the role
of the laity in Christian ministry.
But some of us are now beginning to feel if
we're not extremely careful, we shall let the pen-dulum
pass center and swing off into another ex-treme
While biblically it is true all Christians are priests
responsible "for the work of the ministry", it is
equally true that God ordained certain priests among
these priests "for the equipping of the saints for the
work of the ministry" (Ephesians 4:11)
They are His sovereign "gifts" to the church,
and the laity will only be as effective in the work of
ministering as they are taught, counselled and moti-vated
by these specially chosen persons.
Now theoretically we may pay superficial tri-bute
to this truth, but practically it is quite clear
to all of us that fewer and fewer young people
seem interested in this specific vocation among
God's people and the church is already in real dif-ficulty.
My concern here, however, is not simply a matter
of quantity, but also a matter of quality. The thing
that really bothers so many of us on the Christian
college campus is that seldom do we find our ablest
students entering the leadership ministry.
There are two questions I want to discuss briefly,
for in the light of my intention I am sure these two
questions will be of deeply personal significance.
The first question is simply "Is the church
'worth' serving". "Is it worth sticking with?" And
by "church" I mean primarily the church as cul-turally
structured and historically institutionalized.
This is no idle question, for our concerns will
flounder here unless we can justify an affirmative
answer. I am convinced many of you do not consider
the ministry as a live alternative because you have al-ready
answered the question in the negative.
It is not that you believe the body of Christ will
die, but you believe its present institutional forms are
not relevant and you must simply cut out your own
path as a witnessing lay Christian. Well, you're not

alone in your viewpoint. The pessimists are legion and
they are even among the clergy themselves!
We are feeling this kind of pressure increasing-ly
in our evangelical circles and our peril is even
more acute than the church in general. Many of us
here today are from small and even rural churches
and we are frankly disillusioned about the provin-cial
conservatism and rigidity of ideas characteriz-ing
both the pastoral and lay leadership in these
Time and again students in my office have con-fessed
to me that their greatest problem on leav-ing
Wheaton is trying to determine where they can
go to church, when they leave, where they can be
fed and challenged on a relevant level, where the lay
fellowship and pastoral ministry will strengthen them
for their vocation and mission, rather than strangle
and cripple them with irrelevancies.
Is it any wonder, then, that we find fewer and
fewer evangelical young people entering the ministry,
and that the ones who do are increasingly the less
able intellectually and spiritually? The question "Is
it worth it?" is not an idle question.
What can I say in the face of this? i say the
church is worth sticking with!
First, why do I feel this way? Historically, we
have too much to lose. It is impossible for me to ac-cept
the fact that we must cast off all our meaning-ful
worship liturgies, all our profound symbolisms of
architectures and sanctuary, all our rich traditions
of parochial education systems, and all our stabilizing
concepts of church polity in order to experience re-newal
by the Spirit of God.
It is, further, impossible for me to believe these
traditions and concepts wrought out by the spiritually
sensitive souls of the past under the guidance of the
Holy Spirit are irrelevent for and cannot speak to,
our own ego.
Re-newal presupposes something to renew, and
I believe that something is the church here and
now bequeathed to us by the blood, sweat and tears
of millions, who in each successive generation be-lieved
the faith and forms of their fathers were a
gift of God's grace to them in their present hour
of witness.
Secondly, sociologically, we have nothing really to
gain by abandoning the church of today. The three-fold
truth we must learn is that structure itself is a
good; structures must be renewed and changed; and
new structures are begotten, not created ex nihilo.
Third, theologically, we have an
unbiblical and unrealistic view of
sainthood if we think by abandon-ing
the present structure all sins
of the saints will cease. It is not
the structure which so desperately
needs renewal in our day. It is the
layman and cleric alike who con-trol
the structures who need it.
Finally, I am convinced the
church of our day is worth sticking
with because personally I have
been too spiritually enriched
through its structures to callously
abandon it as irrelevant and un-worthy.
I would challenge you to the
ministry of the contemporary
church and the evangelical church
in particular. And I ask, are you
willing to enter into the self-sacri-ficial
service of renewing the evan-gelical
church if God calls you
Amongst many imperfections,
there is something there worth pre-serving.
Basically, that something
is the commitment to a worldview
which believes in the importance
of the individual regeneration
through faith in Jesus Christ and
in the absolute authority of bibli-cal
revelation in matters of faith
and practice.

"And We Beheld His Glory", Festival of Christmas 1965 most cer-tainly
deserves multiple lauditories from the Bethel faculty and adminis-tration,
but even more so the student body.
Every year, this is the 9th, the Festival helps to portray the won-derful
message of the birth of Christ in a unique way that reaches
many, the "cultural" crowd for instance, that might never acknowledge
any other way. It is the sincere feeling of your columnist that Festival
1965 expressed this message in a more moving manner than ever before.
He would like to personally thank the members of the music, art,
and speech departments who put hours of effort into the creation and
direction of the undertaking. But more than these, he would especially
like to thank the more than two hundred Bethel students who gave
up their time in lieu of studies and other activities to make the Festi-val
a success.
Friday evening, December 10th, the Minneapolis Symphony in con-junction
with the University of Minnesota Chorus, three hundred voices

Nelson Mass in D minor is often considered to be the best of the six

fanfares in the "Benedictus" are believed to proclaim Nelson's victory
of the French at the Battle of the Nile.
Also on the program for the Symphonic evening are Marcel Mihal-ovici's

President Johnson stated Ameri-can
goals in Vietnam in his speech
of July 28, 1965.
His paraphrased position is that
in two world wars and in Korea
we have learned that appeasement
does not bring peace. Asian coun-tries
cannot by themselves resist
the "growing might and grasping
ambition of Asian Communism."
Our power is a vital help and if
we get out of Vietnam no nation
can again have confidence in Am-erican
help in the worldwide
struggle against Communism.
The background of the problems
in Vietnam date at least to the
early 19th century when French
Catholic lay preachers tried to pro-selytize
the Buddhist country.
France's colonial rule and Cath-olic
domination continued until
the middle of this century, des-pite
growing resistance. This re-sistance
came to a head in the
war for Indochina. It was led by
national Communist revolution-aries
called the Viet Minh. A-Bethel

The membership of the Student
Senate dropped by one last week
as a result of the request for the
resignation of one of the freshman
class representatives.
One of the significant standing
rules of order for the Senate states
that a senator who misses three
consecutive meetings shall be re-quested
to resign.
The rule was first adopted in
the fall of 1964 after a few of the
1963-64 senators attended far
fewer than half the meetings.
The meeting time for this year's
Senate was set prior to the fresh-man
class elections—late Monday
evening being the only time dur-would

his job of representation without

either the swimming class or the

Freshman Senator's Resignation Is
Necessary Result of Rules Violation
The following is re-printed from the newly published first
edition of BETHEL ROYALS SPORTS, the official news organ of
the Bethel College Athletic Department.
by Head Basketball Coach Jerry Healy
We are looking forward to a fine season. The return of all our
regulars, with the exception of Don Moore who is now teaching, gives
us a degree of experience we have not had at Bethel in many years.
We will miss Moore's 23-point game average, but the balance of
this year's club should more than compensate for the loss of Moore.
Co-captains Jerry Moulton, a senior, and Dave Bjorklund, a junior,
are both fine scorers. George Palke and Ed Peterman, both seniors
and Bob Nolin, junior, played a great deal of first team ball the last
two seasons.
Add to this group senior George Harvey and juniors Doug Kelly,
Cabot Dow, and Tom Hagen, and you note the experience advantage.
A definite starter as a freshman will be Ron Pederson from Willmar,
Minnesota. Ron is no doubt one of the outstanding frosh prospects ever
to enroll at Bethel; at 6'5", Ron is a great rebounder and an able
scorer. His high school experience with a highly successful and well
coached team has prepared him well for college basketball.
Ray Peterson, a transfer from Hamline and the son of a former
Bethel basketball coach will be a real help at both the guard and
forward slots.
Jon Bjorklund and Dave Moulton, brothers of our co-captains and
both with good, solid high school experience, are other freshman hope-fuls
who could be helping our varsity before the end of the season.
The schedule is tough as usual. St. Thomas may well be M.I.A.C.
champs this year and should be our toughest opponent.

When a basketball team loses

to our team.

altered by Coach Healy. Using a

Last Saturday, Bethel College's
revitalized wrestling squad took on
St. Paul Bible College at the Mid-way
YMCA. Showing aggressive in-dividual
performances, Bethel
soundly trounced St. Paul 31-5.
In the 123 pound class Bob Baffa
pinned a first year St. Paul wrest-ler

showed his form as the Most
Improved Wrestler of last year by
taking his man in a nine minute
match 12-0.
Ron Harris at 137 pounds lost
the take-down, but racked up a
score of 5-2 before pinning his
opponent in the second period.
Mike Warring, a 147 pound fresh-man,
put his opponent away with
a Cross-Face Cradle in the second
period. Danny Wilson finally over-came
his 152 pound opponent in
a well wrestled match with a pin
to gain five more points for Bethel
to bring the total score to 23-0.
Next came Paul Anderson who
at 160 pounds faced an opponent
with less moves, but more strength
than he had. He overcame the
strength, but lost the match 7-4

So far you have completed a reasonably exhaustive search and you have citied all of your sources. Now it is time to take a look at your data and see what it tells you. I like to put everything I know in tables and on timelines. The more ways you arrange and rearrange your data, the more things you will see. Many times a researcher will have the answer right in front of them and they just don't see it. This is a good brick wall buster technique. When you think you are at a dead end, go over your research again and put it in a different format. List things by date, list things by name variations, list things by location etc. Timelines are great for trying to separate out two people with the same name.
When you are analyzing the information that you collected, not only are you looking for evidence that supports your working hypothesis, but you are also looking for conflicting data. The conflicting data must be addressed and that is step 4 of the GPS (tomorrow).
Here are a few good resources for more information:

This was my first attempt at anything more than rolls or sandwich loaves where I didn't make the dough in the bread machine, so maybe the crust is a little ragged. The recipe is from "Bread: Artisan Breads from Baguettes and Bagels to Foccacia and Brioche" by Eric Truille and Ursula Ferrigno. I'm working my way up to BBA. :D
I realized my cutting mistake *after* I cut the loaves- I cut into the dough sideways rather than from the top- so my wheat arms don't have that nice split on the top. Water in a broiler pan on the bottom rack of the with a combination of ice cubes and water, then removed after 10 minutes. I haven't tasted them yet, but I thought I'd share some pictures.
Tonight's dinner is pasta, so I wanted something nice to go with it.

A really quick post to stop my blog from gathering cobwebs.
I made this Homemade Muah Chee from HHB. There was an instant urge to make this as I have not eaten muah chee for a long long time. I love this recipe as it is very soft and less chewy. Very suitable for children and elderly as it is easier for them to bite. A recipe worth keeping!
A note to self that the peanut mixture is more than enough for coating, so I will make about 1/2-3/4 of the given recipe next time.
Short update:
Before I end, I would like to make a quick update about myself. I am cutting down my time spent online, by more than half than I used to be. I will be spending less time visiting blogs and will not be leaving much comments on your blogs. I may be baking less often than before, but will still try to post up my past bakes. Of course, I will still be here to coordinate with the Aspiring Bakers event. Really sorry about it. One of the reasons is because I can't seem to view the computer screen for too long. So I need to get away from the computer as much as possible. :(
Homemade Muah Chee
Ingredients (serves 4)
200g glutinous rice flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shallot oil
250ml water
1 teaspoon shallot oil for brushing
150g roasted peanut powder (I used ready made ones)
40g toasted sesame
75g granulated sugar
1. To make shallot oil, thinly slice 2 shallots, fry with 4 tablespoons oil (about two parts of oil to 1 part of shallot) till golden brown. Leave to cool.
2. Mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, salt, shallot oil and water in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine, make sure flour mixture is completed dissolved.
3. Pour the mixture into a deep dish (I used a 8" corelle dinner plate). Steam over medium heat for about 25mins. Test the centre to ensure it is cooked through. Brush the surface with shallot oil and leave to cool.
4. Mix peanut powder, toasted sesame and granulated sugar in a plate. (Note: I only used up half the portion of the peanut mixture).
5. When ready to serve, scoop small pieces of muah chee with a spoon and toss them in the peanut powder mixture. Serve immediately.

Ruddick and Crane family association swith the Somerset Coalfield
Both sets of my Grandparents were employed in the Somerset Coalfield,throughout their working lives, wheres my father was also employed there, but only for a brief period.
In researching, it seems probable that there has been involvement with this coalfield, by one or the other of my paternal (Ruddick)ancestors, extending from at least the early 1800s until possibly the end, working mainly in and around Camerton,
On my maternal (Crane)side, the involvement was much more recent, working in Midsomer Norton and Radstock.area.
There were certainly Ruddick movements to both Kent and South Wales coalfields and also it recently transpires with Doncaster area.
Anyone with information would be most welcome to get in touch.

WASHINGTON, May 15 (UPI) -- U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Wednesday "House Republicans have truly lost their minds" under a popular definition of insanity.
Reid, speaking of House GOP leaders' plan to hold a 37th vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act -- commonly known as "Obamacare" -- cited a statement often attributed to Albert Einstein, that insanity is defined as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
"If that's true, the House Republicans have truly lost their minds," Reid said in a speech on the Senate floor.
Noting that House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said after the 2012 election "Obamacare is the law of the land," Reid said, "Tea Party extremists bullied the speaker into holding another vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and roll back benefits for tens of millions of Americans."
Reid pointed out Boehner had said last week 70 freshmen members of Congress who had not previously had an opportunity to cast a vote to repeal the healthcare reform law have "been asking for an opportunity to vote on it."
He said House Republicans "will waste this week on yet another dead-end repeal vote."
"Perhaps Republicans think the 37th time is the charm." Reid said.
Citing a CBS News analysis putting the cost of the repeal votes at "$52.4 million and counting," Reid said that was enough money "to restore funding for 19 million meals for homebound seniors or 6,900 children dropped from the Head Start program" under federal spending cuts known as the sequester.
"Fortunately, Republicans' latest repeal effort -- their latest exercise in insanity, as described by Albert Einstein -- is doomed to fail like all the others," he said.

Morgan Stanley is deferring 100 percent of bonuses for top earners, Reuters reports.
"Top earner," in this case, means anyone making more than $350,000 with a bonus of more than $50,000 over a three year period. Financial advisers are not included in this directive, according to sources close to this situation.
Deferred compensation (and bonuses paid in stock rather than cash) have been increasingly popular among bulge bracket Wall Street banks seeking pennies to pinch in a post financial crisis world.
In fact, boutique banks like Jefferies have made waves (and tried to steal talent) by promising to pay bonuses in cash.
All that aside, this news has to be killer for morale at Morgan Stanley. Yesterday the bank proceeded to layoff 1600 people.
While this is tough, though, it's not surprising. Back in October, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman said that Wall Street is full of "overpaid bankers." He put the bank's money where his mouth is too, and cut overall compensation by 9 percent from 2011 to 2012.
But apparently that's not enough. In fact, Dan Loeb, the billionaire hedge fund manager who revealed a long position in Morgan Stanley last week, criticized the firm's pay practices in an investor letter saying that director pay was too high for such a small, simple bank.
Mr. Loeb has indicated to people close to him that in some cases he feels the pay is appropriate, given the tricky balancing act needed to hold on to talented employees and placate restive shareholders while Mr. Gorman tries to rejuvenate the company.
Not to say that Gorman's compensation is safe from Loeb's scrutiny — according to the WSJ, it's not. Loeb does think that Ruth Porat, Morgan Stanley's CFO, is compensated fairly though.
Fair is in the eyes of the beholder, however.

Thank you for your detailed response. Just to be clear: In SVG 1.1 there is a difference between how opaque and transparent/filtered colors are handled. Are you sure this is how you want the specification to be interpreted? This means there might be a noticeable difference between a 100% opaque color and a 99% opaque color. This means the might be a noticeable difference between a shape and a shape with a feConvolveMatrix filter with 1x1 matrix [1] applied. This means anti-aliased edges will follow a different path than the solid pixels next to it. This means implementations need to have multiple working rasters with different color models+spaces+intents that they have to maintain (after partially overlaying an rgb rectangle with a solid opaque cmyk rectangle an implementation now needs 2 rasters (1 with all the rgb-pixels not overwritten by the cmyk rectangle, 1 with all the cmyk pixels from the overlayed rectangle) and probably mask indicating what raster should be used when finally transforming to the device color space) The alternative interpretation (solid colors are also composited, they just tend to overrule everything else) doesn't suffer from these problems. It does lose all rendering intents (as opposed to only some or most) however. On the other hand, looking to the future: the only way I can see different rendering intents making it to the final conversion to device space is by maintaining different rasters and bitmasks. It will be hell to implement and you will need to define how rendering intents 'mix' however. For example: what rendering intent wins when compositing a 50% opaque relative pixel and a 50% opaque saturation pixel using hard-light? The sane option implementation-wise is to choose a color composition space and composite all pixels, fully opaque or not. This still raises questions like "what does a CIELab D50 space n combination with a perceptual intent mean?" (maybe the ICC has defined an answer to that question) Furthermore, it makes it impossible to mix different (final) rendering intents in a single SVG image. (you will have to pick an intent for the root plane, so no saturated graphs with absolute text and a nice perceptual image as a background) It also makes it impossible to have black-preservation (unless you're allowing cmyk composition spaces with black-preservation as a rendering intent/option, but now you have to define all compositing operations for 4-channel additive spaces as well, so I don't think this is likely to happen) But, it might be possible that that's a trade-off you're willing to make. This is not a rhetorical question. Depending on what direction you are going with this in the future, the current interpretation should be picked. It looks like you're opting for the "multiple rasters and bitmasks" route. I don't really have a preference either way, I'm just suggesting some avenues of thought for when you're discussing this face-to-face. Not wanting to imply you haven't considered all this already, but I'm going to hold off writing up my note on how colors should be handled when an svg object is used in a color managed cmyk context until you had the face to face meeting and some more time to talk this through with the other members. Seems like an important fork in the road and I don't want to rush you. Please keep me informed, Nick Hofstede R&D Manager PS: The http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Proposals/Color document contains a strange example for the preserve black use case. The problem isn't 'losing' some of the black, the problem is process black cmyk(0,0,0,100) ending up as 'rich black' cmyk(63,52,51,100). The transformation from Lab black to cmyk rich black is something that is desireable if the black pixel was part of a photograph and the neighbouring pixel is a dark blue for example (rich black is 'darker' when printed than process black and the shift from a dark color which is a composite of toner to just black toner is noticeable), whereas it is not desireable if the black pixel was part of the letter a.

NH> What conversions happen when I specify a CMYK color that needs to be rendered to a CMYK device? In SVG 1.1, all interpolation and compositing happens in the SRGB colour space (the values for the color-interpolation property only allow sRGB or linearRGB) http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#ColorInterpolationProperty and all filter operations are similarly limited by the color-interpolation-filters property http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#ColorInterpolationFiltersProperty So if a CMYK colour is used - with opacity - in a gradient - in a graphic that uses filter effects then the colour is converted into sRGB. The original values, the rendering intent, are therefore lost and there will be compression of out of gamut colours. Opaque solid colours which are unfiltered, will pass straight through and will be available to the output device. In an ICC workflow, if the output device uses the same profile as was used to define the colours in the SVG file then the CMYK values will be used without adjustment. otherwise, the CMYK input values will be converted to the profile connection space (likely CIE Lab) and then converted to the output CMYK space. In SVG color, some of these restrictions are lifted. color-interpolation is extended to allow several new values, http://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/color/master/SVGColor.html#interpolation of which the most relevant to this question is CIELab with a D50 whitepoint; this is the same as the ICC profile connection space. Thus, in cases where colours are interpolated or composited, conversion from CMYK still happens, but in this case there is no gamut compression. It is still an issue that the original rendering intent is lost. It is still an issue that we don't have a way to specify preserve-black, and that we don't have control over black point compensation. Some issues are listed in the discussion document for this weeks meeting: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Proposals/Color -- Chris Lilley Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead, Fonts Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG Member, CSS, WebFonts, SVG Working Groups -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ________________________________ Inventive Designers' Email Disclaimer: http://www.inventivedesigners.com/email-disclaimerReceived on Thursday, 28 July 2011 11:02:45 UTC

text: Our new video series, "A Saturday With...", explores how men of style and substance choose to spend their downtime. It is therefore fitting that the first man to be featured, Mr Morgan Collett, is co-founder of Saturdays Surf NYC, a brand that is associated with stylish recess, and which is also stocked on MR PORTER. Mr Collett, who was born in Newport Beach, California, but now resides in New York City, likes to spend his weekends surfing at Rockaway Beach, skating at Pier 62, riding his bicycle around the city, and enjoying the famously good coffee which is served in Saturdays Surf NYC's stores with friends. Before joining forces with art director Mr Colin Tunstall and former pro-snowboarder Mr Josh Rosen to launch Saturdays Surf in 2009, Mr Collett worked for Swedish fashion powerhouse Acne, so it's fair to say he knows a thing or two about living stylishly. Watch the video above to see a Saturday in the life of Mr Collett, and to hear more about Saturdays Surf NYC.

Met. Hilarion delivered the sermon at Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas last Sunday (February 13, 2011). The title of his talk was "No One Has Ever Seen God." It was part of a larger pastoral visit where he met with Orthodox believers in the area, had an audience with former President George Bush, and attended the Dallas premier of his symphony "St. Matthew's Passion." Listen to his sermon below.
It's an outstanding talk; a cogent and uncompromising defense of biblical morality and teaching.

WASHINGTON – The nation's largest airlines posted an on-time arrival rate of 67.7 percent in January, down from both the 81.0 percent on-time rate posted in January 2013 and the 68.9 percent on-time rate posted in December 2013, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Air Travel Consumer Report released today.
Airlines also reported 18 tarmac delays of more than three hours on domestic flights and three tarmac delays of more than four hours on international flights. Sixteen of the reported tarmac delays involved Southwest Airlines flights that arrived at Chicago Midway Airport on Jan. 2. Due to a snowstorm, those flights were delayed in receiving an open gate. All of the reported delays are under investigation by the Department.
The consumer report also includes data on cancellations, chronically delayed flights, and the causes of flight delays filed with the Department's Bureau of Transportation Statistics by the reporting carriers. In addition, the consumer report contains information on mishandled baggage reports filed by consumers with the carriers and airline service complaints received by the Department's Aviation Consumer Protection Division. The consumer report also includes reports of incidents involving the loss, death, or injury of pets traveling by air, as required to be filed by U.S. carriers.
The reporting carriers canceled 6.5 percent of their scheduled domestic flights in January, up from both the 1.5 percent cancellation rate posted in January 2013 and the 2.9 percent rate posted in December 2013.
Chronically Delayed Flights
At the end of January, there were 155 flights that were chronically delayed – more than 30 minutes late more than 50 percent of the time – for two consecutive months. There were no chronically delayed flights for three consecutive months or more. A list of flights that were chronically delayed for a single month is available from BTS.
Causes of Flight Delays
In January, the carriers filing on-time performance data reported that 6.60 percent of their flights were delayed by aviation system delays, compared to 7.77 percent in December; 9.87 percent by late-arriving aircraft, compared to 11.25 percent in December; 7.66 percent by factors within the airline's control, such as maintenance or crew problems, compared to 8.03 percent in December; 1.26 percent by extreme weather, compared to 0.95 percent in December; and 0.03 percent for security reasons, compared to 0.05 percent in December.
Weather is a factor in both the extreme-weather category and the aviation-system category. This includes delays due to the re-routing of flights by DOT's Federal Aviation Administration in consultation with the carriers involved. Weather is also a factor in delays attributed to late-arriving aircraft, although airlines do not report specific causes in that category.
Data collected by BTS also shows the percentage of late flights delayed by weather, including those reported in either the category of extreme weather or included in National Aviation System delays. In January, 29.14 percent of late flights were delayed by weather, down from 34.12 in January 2013 and 30.49 percent in December.
Detailed information on flight delays and their causes is available on the BTS website at http://www.bts.gov.
Mishandled Baggage
The U.S. carriers reporting flight delays and mishandled baggage data posted a mishandled baggage rate of 5.54 reports per 1,000 passengers in January, up from both the January 2013 rate of 3.41 and the December 2013 rate of 4.55.
Incidents Involving Pets
In January, carriers reported two incidents involving the loss, death, or injury of pets while traveling by air, equal to the two reports filed in both January 2013 and in December 2013. January's incidents involved the death of one pet and one lost pet.
Complaints About Airline Service
In January, the Department received 1,713 complaints about airline service from consumers, up 24.9 percent from the 1,372 complaints filed in January 2013, and up 53.8 percent from the 1,114 received in December 2013.
Complaints About Treatment of Disabled Passengers
The report also contains a tabulation of complaints filed with DOT in January against airlines regarding the treatment of passengers with disabilities. The Department received a total of 76 disability-related complaints in January, up from both the total of 55 complaints filed in January 2013 and the 47 complaints received in December 2013.
Complaints About Discrimination
In January, the Department received eight complaints alleging discrimination by airlines due to factors other than disability – such as race, religion, national origin, or sex – up from the total of six recorded in January 2013, but down from the nine recorded in December 2013.
Consumers may file their complaints in writing with the Aviation Consumer Protection Division, U.S. Department of Transportation, C-75, W96-432, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20590; by voice mail at (202) 366-2220 or by TTY at (202) 366-0511; or on the web at www.dot.gov/airconsumer.
Consumers who want on-time performance data for specific flights should call their airline's reservation number or their travel agent. This information is available on the computerized reservation systems used by these agents. The information is also available on the appropriate carrier's website.
The Air Travel Consumer Report is available in PDF format.

Guy Aitchison is at the top of the biomechanical tattoo field. He has produced some of the best large color biomech tattoos I've ever seen. Torn between painting and tattooing he has created numerous works featured in top art and tattoo magizines. Guy believes tattooing is a very critical type of commercial art, where success or failure of any given project has very deep implications for the client. This forces an extra degree of dedication and flexibility on the part of the artist, and the clients' participation helps maintain a flow of fresh ideas and images into the artist's bag of tricks.

Yipeeeee!!! Level 68 gives you 'permission' to head to the fertile xp grounds of Northrend. Given the increased experience from questing and killing mobs, you'll hit 70 before you can say "Death Knights are OP!"
You won't get a lot of new abilities, but as you add talent points to your blood tree, you'll find it a breeze to solo your way to max level, or find a group of buddies and farm instances for the same.
So, congratulations! You've made it to Northrend!
Whether this is your first time here, or your 8th alt, take a few minutes to enjoy the scenery. Northrend has some truly incredible vistas to offer, from the soaring bluffs of Howling Fjord to the savage green wildlife in Sholezar Basin, to the rugged blue peaks of Icecrown. Enjoy!
Now, about getting that DK to 80......
1. Talent spec 68-80. Here we go.....
By level 77, your spec will finally get dancing rune weapon and be able to provide as much dps as your pre-raiding heart desires. :) The final points can go into blood gorged until you respec for heroics/raiding at level 80. You'll still get some cool buffs at the trainer, but nothing really new until the super-cool Army of the Dead at 80. This spec doesn't give you tons of health regeneration, but as I said previously, it should be plenty for just about everything you might encounter from the elite Jormungar in Dragonblight to packs of rhinos and tigers in Sholezar.
However, if you have been making gold hand over fist or at the very least, not spending it on tuxedos and vanity mounts, then you should have plenty of gold by level 70 or so for dual spec. I strongly recommend you select a full blood tank spec (look for non-broken link this evening), for two reasons. First, you will now be able to tank properly, which will allow you to instance farm, or at the very least easily find a group to complete instance quests. Second, you can solo ANYTHING. I do mean anything. Just as an example, by level 75 you can solo the 5-man wanted quest mob in Dragonblight that my poor level 80 heroic blues-equipped rogue still has great trouble with. If you've been gathering a defense gear set, you should have a decent crit-reduction (defense) and stamina set - even if your avoidance is poor. Any time you encounter an elite quest, just hit your tank set button, frost presence, 'activate this spec' button, and WIN. You can pick a different tank spec (frost or unholy) for instancing, but blood is far superior for soloing elites because of the massive health regeneration.
2. DPS considerations. Since you hit 67 back in Outlands, your rotation has been pretty much set.
As a reminder:
For single or two-mob pulls, you should:
Icy Touch > Plague Strike > Heart Strike > Heart Strike > Death Strike > Death Coil
For most non-elite or instance mobs, they'll die on or shortly after the first rotation. If you're fighting a boss mob in a 5-man, then at the end of your first rotation, immediately after your Death Strike, hit hysteria, summon ghoul, dancing rune weapon, in that order. The burst from these blood abilities is wonderful! By 70, if you've selected the proper stats on your gear, gemmed any slots, and followed this rotation, you should be well over 1000 dps in Utgarde Keep - your first Northrend instance.
Aoe farming is still silly easy. By the time you are in Sholezar Basin, you can just run around and grab 4-6 mobs, aoe them down and finish at 100% health, and easily do 1300dps soloing. Obviously if you have heirloom gear your experience and dps will be even better, although I've recommended elsewhere to NOT pick up the heirloom weapons.
3. Miscellaneous. I recommend starting in Howling Fjord. You certainly don't have to - Borean Tundra is fine - but Utgarde keep is more friendly for sub-70s than the Nexus. In addition, your axe from Ring of Blood is still pretty good until you do the Last Rites quest chain at about 72, which gives you the Axe of Frozen Death.
When you first arrive, you may want to pick up the flight paths asap. If you go to Borean Tundra and start with the Valiance Keep flight path, it's pretty easy to head east along the coast to Unu'pe. From there, take the sea turtle to Moa'ki Harbor, grab the fp and continue on to Kamagua. From there you can run cross country to Valgarde and you're set with all the beginning flight paths. I also take the opportunity to get Dalaran when I can by offering "10g port Ironforge to Dalaran" which will be handy later. Don't set your hearth in Dalaran, however, which is what a lot of people do. The reason for this is you should still set your hearth wherever you're questing or you'll spend lots of time (and gold) flying from Dalaran to your current quest hub.
Do all or almost all the quests in one zone before moving to the next. Northrend quest hubs are generally pretty well-organized and let you accept and complete 3-5 quests at the same time.
I go Howling Fjord > Borean Tundra > Dragonblight > Sholezar Basin > Storm Peaks > Icecrown.
If you have a flying mount and you can purchase the cold weather flying on a main, you'll level extremely fast. If you don't have an 80 on your DK's server, you will have to ride a land mount until 77. I pick this order because the quest hubs are better organized and quest-rich. If you run a few instances, you can completely skip Grizzly Hills and Zul'Drak. If you do go to Zul'Drak, you may want to pick up the nice sword in Drak'Theron Keep, otherwise, your only foray into the zone should be to complete the Ampitheatre of Anguish to get your De-Raged War Axe, which awards insane amounts of xp as well as the weapon you will use until 80.
Well, good luck in your journey to 80!
Even if you're a min-maxer goal-oriented raider like me, don't forget to stop and smell the Adder's Tongue!

[Hook: R.A. The Rugged Man]
Every record label (every record label)
They suck dick! (suck dick!)
[Verse 1: R.A. The Rugged Man]
Fuck the new clothes, sport shitty jeans, fuck the limousines
When the ho schemes you end up with no beans
There's only 50,000 heads that are true to this
The rest are clueless to what real hip hop music is
Plus the labels think that artists are pathetic, I don't sweat it
If they take the credit I will send them to the medic
The industry will gas ya head up, you ain't shit to them, don't get fed up
'Cuz when you're down and out they won't help you get up
They sit around creating gimmicks, sky's the limit, but to him it's
Nothing, A&R men act like schizophrenics
Fuck the negative reviews, I sing the blues
'Cuz if I blow up I still lose
[Verse 2: R.A. The Rugged Man]
Now how can the musicians be the scholars
When they're making less than four percent of six dollars?
Most of the kids that kick a rap just don't deserve opinions, acting like critics
Looking like Richard Simmons, now they're sporting Timberlands
And I ain't trying to be accepted, but it's hectic
When you try to sell you records and ya record label don't respect it
Now all these promotional stunts gets me emotional
Not hospitable, I'll never recoup so it's not profitable
And I can end up as white trash living in a trailer park
Eatin' tuna fish with my Cheez Whiz
"So how you'd get ya job in the black music department?"
Since I was growing up that's where my heart went
I won't be going out like Kurt Cobain, or Tattoo
"Da plane, da plane!" jibba jibba jib, Jane!
So if my sales don't exceed the expectations
My relation-ships will be Uzi clips and decapitations
'Cuz the fact is, technically, I need a vasectomy
No pregnancy, kids got the tendency to be sweating me
So do ya own! Them scumbags is making moneybags
In the meantime, ya Karl Kanis turn to rags
'Cuz labels don't know shitty rappers from any rappers
So listen rappers, they only know how to pinch a penny, rappers
I end up bankrupt and penniless, while you remain the rich man
My fist is up your ass to rip ya lips off
This ain't the rock and roll era, so how could you know what's worse or better?
Chilling in ya polyester sweater
A big advancement doesn't make the move the wisest
'Cuz Def Jam offered me more loot than Jive did
[Verse 3: R.A. The Rugged Man]
And the executives at labels, they about equal to McDonald's workers
They all down to jerk us, trying to keep us poor on purpose
They expect that respect that they don't give, so don't think that it's negative
If you don't want to let a record executive live
Now pretty bitches wind up giving up they butts
But I'm used to busting nuts in stank perverted sluts
Just the thought of getting signed, you masturbated
Can't you see the industry is gold-plated?
"He sounds like Ice Cube, let's sign him!
He sounds like Onyx, let's sign him!
He sounds like that shit that's hittin', let's sign him!"
God forbid I get HIV
I'd be bitin' people and spittin' blood at the entire music industry
After R.A. the Rugged Man signed to Jive in 1992, there began a series of events that cemented the rapper's disillusionment with the record industry, partially chronicled in his later song "A Star is Born". In this song, written at the time it was all going on, R.A. vents his frustration in characteristic fashion.

Top Cars
Top Luxury Truck Choices
While they were once little more than rural workhorses, pickup trucks are increasingly available with upscale equipment and high-end features. If you're interested in a luxury truck, you've come to the right place. We've rounded up the luxury pickup options from each manufacturer to help you compare them all before making a decision.
Cadillac Escalade EXT: $64,000
With a base price of around $64,000, the Cadillac Escalade EXT is the most expensive truck on the market. It's also the only truck offered by a luxury brand. A 4-door body style based on the Escalade SUV is standard, as is a 403-horsepower 6.2-liter V8. A long list of standard equipment includes a remote starter, Bluetooth, a rearview camera and 22-inch wheels. The Escalade EXT also boasts an unusual divider between the passenger compartment and pickup bed that can be removed to provide open access from compartment to bed.
Chevrolet Silverado High Country
Chevrolet has not yet announced the pricing of its crew-cab-only Silverado High Country. The all-new luxury trim level will slot above last year's high-end model, dubbed simply the Silverado LTZ. It's available on the all-new Chevrolet Silverado, which is fully redesigned for the 2014 model year. Chevrolet says a long list of standard equipment includes heated and cooled front seats, front and rear park assist, a Bose sound system and the brand's MyLink infotainment system, which features an 8-in touchscreen. Also standard is a long list of upgrades inside and out, such as chrome exterior accents, that give the truck a high-end look and feel.

Ford F-150 Limited: $51,000
The F-150 Limited tops the range of four upscale F-150 models. The least expensive is the F-150 Lariat, formerly the top-end model. It starts around $40,000. Next is the King Ranch, followed by the Platinum and the Limited. The F-150 Limited comes standard with Ford's EcoBoost V6 that makes 365 hp. It also features a lot of equipment, including a rearview camera, a remote starter, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a navigation system and Ford's SYNC infotainment system with MyFord Touch.

GMC Sierra Denali: $47,500
The Sierra Denali is among the original luxury trucks. Only offered as a crew cab, the Denali boasts a heavily chromed exterior and one of the best-known luxury truck names. It also includes heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel and high-end aluminum trim throughout the interior, as well as triple door seals to eliminate interior noise and other new features that cut down on exterior sounds. A 355-hp 5.3-liter V8 is standard, while a 420-hp 6.2-liter V8 is optional.
Nissan Titan SL: $41,500
The Nissan Titan's top-end trim level is the leather-trimmed SL.

Standard features include rear obstacle detection, heated front seats and power adjustable pedals. Navigation and a sunroof are optional (though they're included in many rival models). The Titan SL is only offered as a crew cab and, like other Titan models, only with a 317-hp 5.6-liter V8.

Lifestyle Changes Can Help Kids Avoid Type 2 Diabetes
Lifestyle Changes Can Help Kids Avoid Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes, once diagnosed much more often in overweight adults, now affects kids who have poor eating habits and get little exercise.
Why is it so important to watch kids' weight? Eighty percent of overweight kids become overweight adults, but those kids may not get diabetes. Parents can do a lot to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in their kids—even if the parents already have it. The American Diabetes Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics offer these tips:
Ban habits that lead to overeating. Make kids use a plate and eat at the table.
Make sure kids exercise. They need an hour a day, all or most days. Sports teams are one option, but outdoor play like running around and bike riding are other options.
Control portions. Don't let kids overeat. Switch to smaller plates to encourage smaller portions.
Delay seconds at mealtime. Wait 15 to 20 minutes before you offer seconds.
Don't buy junk food. Offer low-calorie snacks like carrots, celery, Italian ices, low-fat cheese, or fresh fruit.
Limit or get rid of soda and other sweetened beverages. These have a lot of calories with little nutritional value.
Cut back television time and other inactive "screen time" like video games and computers. Two hours a day or less is all that's recommended.
Set a good example. Eat in a healthier way—and exercise too.
If you have questions about your child's nutritional needs, be certain to check with your child's healthcare provider.
