Bethel in top five of national college ranking
Bethel has vaulted to the top of a national ranking, sitting at No. 4 in the Washington Monthly list of Best Baccalaureate Colleges 2012-13.
Washington Monthly groups institutions into four areas as defined by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, including baccalaureate colleges, which according to Carnegie comprise schools that focus on undergraduate education but offer fewer than half of their degrees in the liberal arts.
Washington Monthly rankings are based on contribution to the public good
in three broad categories: social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students); research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs); and service (encouraging students to give something back to their community and country).
Washington Monthly contrasts its annual rankings with the longer-running U.S. News & World Report rankings, whose key measures include, among others, peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving -- what Washington Monthly calls fame, exclusivity and money.
Bethel appeared in the publication's rankings for the first time last year, in the Best Liberal Arts Colleges category at No. 110 out of 249. This year Bethel was fourth out of 352, behind Elizabeth City (N.C.) State University, Wheeling (W.Va.) Jesuit University and Tuskegee (Ala.) University.
In addition, for the fifth year in a row, Bethel is the only private, liberal arts college in Kansas and one of only four institutions of higher learning in the state to be ranked in Forbes.com's analysis of top U.S. colleges and universities.
Bethel made the Forbes.com annual ranking of the nation's 650 best colleges, released Aug. 15, along with the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Wichita State University.
Golf team earns academic national championship
Not all championships are won on the field, court or course, as the Bethel golf team proved.
The Golf Coaches Association of America informed Bethel coach Gregg Dick Aug. 1 that his 2011-12 team had been named academic national champion of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.
To be considered for the honor, a team must submit a GPA of 3.0 or higher (the average of the GPAs for each player on its official squad list for the academic year). The GCAA names national champions in six divisions -- NCAA Divisions I, II and III; NJCAA DI and NJCAA DII; and NAIA.
Bethel earned GCAA honors for the first time last year, appearing on the President's Special Recognition list for teams from four-year colleges or universities with GPAs of 3.5 or higher. This year, Bethel is the only school from either the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference or the region to be named to that list (Dodge City Community College is the academic national champion for NJCAA DI).
Members of Bethel's 2011-12 golf team were graduating seniors Jordan Esau, Hutchinson, Kellen Goertzen, Henderson, Neb., Eric Regier, Haysville, John Reimer, Hesston, Trey Ronnebaum, Wichita, and Cameron Voth, Goessel, along with senior Abram Rodenberg and sophomores Garrison Gundy and Ethan Rodenberg, all of Halstead.

Local mural pictured on national website
In 2010, Bethel College, the City of Newton and the Carriage Factory Gallery in Newton collaborated on a community art project -- a mural in downtown Newton that approximately 200 local residents helped to create. Now a picture of that mural is on a national website.
The 2010 endeavor was part of the Mid-America Murals Project and funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and Mid-America Arts Alliance. Now, as MAAA supports a new mural project in Arkansas, National Public Radio pictures Newton's mural with a brief story.
Rachel Epp Buller '96, Bethel professor of art, and Barbara Burns, coordinator of community advancement for the city, submitted the grant proposal to the Kansas Community Mural Project. Joe Loganbill '80, director of the Carriage Factory at the time, joined them to coordinate implementation. Of 10 Kansas cities and towns competing for funding, only Newton was awarded money for a mural project.
For an October 2010 story about the project, go here.
Gospel Choir rehearsal set for Sept. 8
Fall Festival Gospel Choir reunion concert planners Roz Royster McCommon '93, Tonganoxie, and Greg Hinex '97, Kansas City, invite alumni, friends of the college and current students to a rehearsal from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 8, in the chapel of the Administration Building on campus.
Those who can't make it to the rehearsal but would like to sing in the performance may listen to the songs on Facebook (search for "Bethel College Gospel Choir Reunion") and attend a run-through in Memorial Hall 7-10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12.
McCommon and Hinex are providing leadership for the performance, scheduled for 2 p.m. in Memorial Hall on Saturday, Oct. 13. Everyone planning to sing is asked to contact them either by e-mailing or calling the alumni office at 316-284-5252.
The public is invited to the performance. There will be no admission fee, but an offering will be taken to defray expenses and support the African-American Alumni Association Scholarship Endowment Fund.
Schultz to help rededicate Bethel facility named for him
Bethel welcomed students back to campus in August with major improvements to a central facility -- Schultz Student Center (SSC).
SSC houses the cafeteria, bookstore, Mojo's coffee shop and two conference rooms. It was named for one of Bethel's longest-serving presidents, Harold J. Schultz (1971-91). Schultz will be the convocation speaker Friday, Sept. 14, the same day the student center -- completed in 1979 -- will be rededicated.
For that Sept. 14 convo, current Bethel President Perry D. White asked Schultz to reflect on his time at Bethel and the challenges and joys that might help us learn more about our history or traditions, and help us connect to those who came before.
Then Schultz will help the campus community officially recognize the work that's been done over the summer to make SSC a significantly upgraded facility.
Perhaps of most interest to students: redesign of the cafeteria, everything from carpeting to chairs to dish return to menus.
Linda Srader, senior from Newton, likes the new setup. The main serving line is more open, with food choices posted over it on a digital board, so you can stand back and read it and make your choices instead of being stuck in the line.
Miriam Weaverdyck, senior from Ann Arbor, Mich., also likes being able to easily see what the food options are, while Clarie Koehn, junior from Cottonwood Falls, brought nods of agreement when she expressed appreciation for the expanded salad bar.
Elsewhere in the building, there's new carpet, lighting, signage and furniture and a somewhat rearranged floor plan. What used to be the lobby has been turned into the First Bank Conference Room, thanks to a generous gift from First Bank of Newton.
The lobby area, complete with brand-new furniture, is closer to the cafeteria in the spot where students used to pile their backpacks before going inside for a meal -- so new shelves next to the cafeteria doors can now accommodate those backpacks.
The Bethel College Women's Association is the sponsor of a new Alumni Spotlight wall -- a rotating display highlighting the accomplishments of Bethel alumni. The first five to be featured are Rachel Kasper Fitzsimons '88, Astoria, N.Y., Broadway actress (who uses the stage name Rachel de Benedet); G. John Dick '61, Claremont Calif., NASA scientist; Toshihiro Fukudome '72, Tokyo, international businessman; Daniel Hege '87, Jamesville, N.Y., conductor of the Wichita Symphony Orchestra; and Rick McNary '95, Potwin, pastor and founder of the anti-hunger charity Numana Inc.
The opposite wall illustrates Bethel's history and values through photos emphasizing six areas: the Administration Building, scholarship, spiritual life, relationships, pranks and commencement.
Sondra Bandy Koontz, vice president for development, said that numerous donors contributed in varied ways to make Schultz Student Center more comfortable and welcoming -- especially for students but for the whole Bethel community as well.
Corporation meeting and board election Sept. 28
The annual Bethel College Corporation meeting is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 28, at 7:30 p.m. in Schultz Student Center. Corporation business includes a state of the college report and the election of a corporation representative to the Board of Directors.
All those who have given $100 or more to Bethel during their lifetime are eligible to vote in the corporation election. Voters must be present at the meeting or cast a proxy ballot in writing by letter (Advancement Office, Bethel College, 300 E. 27th St., North Newton, KS 67117) or e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) by Wednesday, Sept. 26.
Leticia Palacioz Nielsen '83, Wichita, will be recommended for a second six-year term on the board. Nielsen graduated from Bethel with a degree in economics and business Administration. She earned a master's degree in education administration from Emporia State University.
Nielsen has served as president of Bishop Carroll Catholic High School in Wichita since 2004. Previously she served the school as principal, assistant principal and as instructor in business. Nielsen has implemented strategic plans and successfully carried out capital campaigns for the school.
She is a member of Christ the King Catholic Church, where she has served as parish council member, Sunday School teacher and lector. A member of various professional organizations, Nielsen has also served on Bethel's Alumni Council. The college honored her with the Young Alumnus Award in 2000.
Nielsen is married to Ran Nielsen, a biology instructor at Bishop Carroll. They have a daughter and a son.
Upcoming events at Kauffman Museum
The Kauffman Museum Association will hold its annual membership meeting at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9. The program will feature Glen Ediger '75, North Newton, board president and threshing stone researcher, who will offer a sneak preview of the upcoming exhibition Threshing Stone: Mennonite Artifact and Icon.
The business meeting will include a review of the financial report, recognition of retiring board members Jim Juhnke '62, Wichita, and Lois Friesen '67, Towanda, and introduction of incoming board members Raylene Hinz-Penner '70, Topeka, and Richard Walker '70, Newton.
Museum staff are also making a last call for artifacts for Threshing Stone: Mennonite Artifact and Icon to display Oct. 6 through Jan. 20, 2013. They still need more Thresher Awards and selected yearbooks.
So far only one award recipient has loaned their threshing stone "trophy." More are needed to fill a shelf that represents a wide range of Bethel majors over the years. Staff also need the 1943 Graymaroon and the 1966, 1967, 1968 and 2001 Thresher yearbooks. Those able to loan items should contact Rachel Pannabecker '80.
Looking ahead, save Friday evening, Nov. 2, for the museum's annual fundraising event, the Living Endowment Dinner. Guest speaker will be Steve Friesen '75, Littleton, Colo., director of the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave near Denver and author of Buffalo Bill: Scout, Showman, Visionary (Fulcrum Publishing, 2010). Friesen will speak on I love to tell the story: The sacred role of the secular museum. For more information contact Pannabecker.
Play golf for Bethel Sept. 22
Alumni and friends of Bethel are invited to the 21st annual Fall Thresher Golf Classic Saturday, Sept. 22, at Sand Creek Station Golf Course, Newton.
For a brochure, contact the alumni office at 316-284-5251 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or print one. Players who register by Sept. 10 receive a discount.
History book available Oct. 8
Alumni and friends of Bethel will soon be able to read about the college in a new, 300-page history by Keith Sprunger titled Bethel College of Kansas 1887-2012. The book covers the story of Bethel from its beginnings in 1887 to the present time. Robert W. Regier '52, professor emeritus of art, designed the cover and a color insert.
Bethel College of Kansas 1887-2012 will be released Monday, Oct. 8, in the college bookstore and to those who place mail orders using the form on page 22 of the July issue of the alumni magazine, Context. The history will cost $39.95 (plus tax, shipping and handling). Mail orders may be submitted in advance but the book will not ship until Oct. 8.
Sprunger, who is Oswald H. Wedel professor emeritus of history, received the Julius A. and Agatha Dyck Franz Community Service Award last spring. The award is given periodically to a faculty member judged to have made an especially important contribution to the college community beyond the normal expectations.
Sprunger served Bethel for nearly 40 years in the Department of History and spent nearly five years researching, conducting interviews, compiling photos, and writing and editing the new history.

Q&A with Frymaster
Good morning! Today we've got a little something different, something I haven't done in awhile. As spring training approaches and we start to think about the 2007 season, I thought it would be fun to start a series of Q&As with several Twins bloggers. I have done this in the past, but I thought it would be good to do some new ones. So, in the next week or two, there will be a few more Q&As. Most of the questions will be in regard to the Twins. I always think it is fun to read other perspectives. I'm sure you're all tired of just reading my angles! It will also be fun to introduce some of your to some new Twins blogs although I would guess many of your already know about some of these as well.
Today, I want to thank Frymaster for taking the time to answer some questions for us! His site is Twins, Not Twinkies. (I did a Q&A for his site yesterday.) I love that name because if you remember correctly, it was a great Steve Lombardozzi quote after the Twins won either the AL crown or the World Series in 1987. I am sure you are all wondering, but Frymaster is not his given name. However, to protect his anonymity, we will not give that out. I'm sure if people knew his identity, the paparazzi would be all over him, and I hate to see that, especially with someone so young. You see, Frymaster is just a sophomore at one of the many Twin Cities metro area high schools. (Another reason for the anonymity is that he admitted to me that he is a big Brett Favre fan, and that may not go over so well!). He is a big baseball fan, a big Twins fan, and it was fun getting to know him a little bit better through his responses.
Anyway, I really hope that you all enjoy the Q&A today. If you have any comments for me or Frymaster, please e-mail me, and I will try to answer your questions or forward them on to him and see if we can get you an answer. Also, leave Comments below if you would prefer. Maybe Frymaster will stop by once or twice and answer any other questions you may have.
Let the Questions Begin!
SethSpeaks: What is your baseball history and background? Did you play much baseball growing up?
Frymaster: I played baseball in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I played 1B, OF, and I got to pitch a little bit in 8th grade.
SethSpeaks: Who were some of your favorite players growing up? Any names that might surprise us?
Frymaster: To be honest, I really only started watching the Twins on a daily basis during the 2004 season. Johan Santana has been my favorite for awhile now, but I remember not liking Chuck Knoblauch because I went to a game and yelled his name, but he never turned around to acknowledge I was there.
SethSpeaks: How long have you been writing your blog, and what made you start it?
Frymaster: I started it up in June of 2006. My friend and I were bored during the summer, so we each started one up. He stopped writing for his, but I've been able to keep mine going.
SethSpeaks: What is your process for deciding what you will write about?
Frymaster: I've got an RSS feeder that I check daily to see if there's any interesting tidbits about what's going on in the offseason. It's a pretty dead time right now. During the season, I do a recap of the game that was played that day/night and then try and predict what's going to happen in the next game.
SethSpeaks: Where do you stand on the SABRmetrics versus "Traditional" way of thinking?
Frymaster: I believe it depends on what people like to see. Aaron Gleeman uses some metrics in his blog, but he does it very well. For me the use of terms like RSAA and BABIP get a little overwhelming, so I try and stick to the traditional use of stats, but like to use some that may be less mainstream, like K/9IP and such.
SethSpeaks: What were your overall thoughts on the 2006 Minnesota Twins season?
Frymaster: I think there are three parts of the season: April-early June was plain awful, June-September was amazing, and the playoffs were disappointing. I really thought that the Twins would perform to the level they were at when they had that 19-1 run. Oakland was a decent team, but I really thought we'd give up a fight.
SethSpeaks: What do you think that the 2007 Twins will do? About how many wins do you think they will have and how will they finish in the division?
Frymaster: It's tough to say right now. People forget that last year, down the stretch, we didn't have Francisco Liriano or Brad Radke, and the team still played together and they won games. It won't be any different this year, except now they have some additional people on the roster. I predicted earlier last week that they'd win 85 games and not make the playoffs. I think they'll finish 2nd in the division, because the Indians are always a "contender" on paper but can never get it done on the field, and I think Chicago has hit a rough patch in the organization right now.
SethSpeaks: Who do you think will comprise the Opening Day starting staff?
Frymaster: Johan Santana, obviously. I think Boof will be number 2, because he really proved himself after he got called up for the last time last season. Unless Sidney Ponson has a great Spring Training, it has to be Silva in the 3 hole. I've been saying Matt Garza will start the season in AAA, so I think either Scott Baker or Glen Perkins will start 4th, and the "veteran" presence of Ponson will round out the rotation.
SethSpeaks: Obviously Johan Santana is the unquestioned Ace. What do you expect from him in 2007?
Frymaster: My predictions were pretty vague, but I said an ERA under 2.70, more than 240 strikeouts, less than 50 walks, a WHIP less than 1.00, and less than 70 earned runs. I'm thinking he gets 20 wins, too.
SethSpeaks: Which young pitcher or pitchers do you think will have a breakout season?
Frymaster: Glen Perkins has a great mindset for a big league starter. I read somewhere that he doesn't think about pitching, he just goes out there and throws. And nothing seems to rattle him. I don't think Matt Garza will have the type of year that people are expecting the former (and current, if you talk to some people) #1 prospect to have.
SethSpeaks: Is there are pitcher that you fear will flop?
Frymaster: Jesse Crain. He had flashes of brilliance last season, but then flashes of flop followed.
SethSpeaks: How comfortable are you when the Twins hand a lead over to their bullpen in the 6th or 7th inning?
Frymaster: I think most people would agree with me when I say pretty comfortable. Dennys Reyes is a great lefty specialist, and Joe Nathan is lights out for a save.
SethSpeaks: Joe Nathan gets injured (let's hope this is solely hypothetical), who would you install as the team's closer?
Frymaster: I can't see how it wouldn't be Pat Neshek. Forget all the stuff about not faring well against lefties and understand that he was the closer for the Red Wings at AAA. He also averages more than a strikeout an inning, something that ML closers seem to have going for them.
SethSpeaks: Joe Mauer, at age 22, and Justin Morneau, at age 24, had monster breakout seasons. Generally speaking, just how good can these guys be? What would a ceiling for each be?
Frymaster: Their ceiling seems to be non-existent right now. A batting champ at catcher? An MVP at first? There is no limit for these guys. Morneau definitely is capable of hitting 40 dingers, but I think if he does that his average will suffer. People keep saying that Mauer will develop more power, but I'd like to see him get on base like he's good at. And maybe not ground out into so many double plays.
SethSpeaks: Are there any other hitters that you expect to break out in 2007?
Frymaster: A lot of people are speculating that Michael Cuddyer's 2006 season was a fluke. I have to strongly disagree with that. He was a #1 pick awhile back, so it's not like he sucks. It always surprises me to see that his average at the end of the season was .284. It seems that Joe Vavra is teaching Cuddyer and Morneau to hit for average instead of power, which both are capable of.
SethSpeaks: Can Michael Cuddyer repeat his '06 performance?
Frymaster: Heh, I wrote the answer to that last question without looking at this one. Yes, I think he can and will repeat his performance, and then some. Look for 30 homers while scoring 100 runs and knocking in 100 of his own.
SethSpeaks: Do you follow the Twins minor league system? If so, who are a couple of the prospects that you will be watching in 2007?
Frymaster: try to follow the pitchers as much as I can. I have to say, although neither of these guys are experienced enough for the majors right now, I'm really excited to see how Alexander Smit and Johan Pino perform. At the A level last season, these guys were a combined 17-3. Smit started 9 games and pitched in 30, and Pino started 4 games and pitched in 39. Both average more than 9K/9IP and I love pitchers who can strike out batters. Also look for Jose Mijares to possibly make a splash. He's a strikeout pitcher who has work to do, but has a high ceiling.
SethSpeaks: Finally, who do you think will be the Twins biggest threat in the AL Central... and why?
Frymaster: I have to say the Tigers. The addition of Gary Sheffield, although he may be old, can not be ignored. I also think that Jim Leyland's experience levels out the inexperience of the team playing together. I think only 2 players on last year's team were there in 2002 when Detroit lost 106 games.
Do you have any thoughts or questions for Frymaster or me? If so, please feel free to e-mail me or leave a question or comment below.
If you would like to read any previous Q&A's, I have set up a new page that contains the links to all of them. Click here to see who all has done a Q&A with SethSpeaks.
Rich Lederer of The Baseball Analysts has been a great supporter of Bert Blyleven and his Hall of Fame candidacy for years. In the last couple of days, he has had two great articles this week already on the subject. The first was a response to an article by ESPN.com's Buster Olney who did not vote for Blyleven. The second was a comparison of Blyleven to his contemporaries, the Hall of Famers that played while he played.
The Twins' mlb.com beat writer Kelly Thesier is busy again right now. She is traveling with the Twins Caravan, to the Northwest part of Minnesota and into North Dakota with Nick Punto, Joe Nathan, Dick Bremer and Tony Oliva. She is writing articles on her trip. She is also, like all mlb.com writers, writing position by position breakdowns of the teams. Her most recent article was on the Twins middle infielders.
One of her caravan articles told us that the Twins had signed Matthew LeCroy to a minor league deal. If he makes the Twins roster, he will make $500,000. Sounds like a fair deal. He may not be all that great, but I can't help but like the guy!
John Sickels had a nice Prospect Retro on Kent Hrbek recently on his minor league blog.
You just wonder if some people will ever get it. Elijah Dukes is one of those people. Amazing talent, but just a lot of trouble. Is he worth it?
Pat Neshek is on the Northern portion of the Twins Caravan this week which is keeping him incredibly busy. But, he is still posting items on his blog for trade. Some very fun stuff can be had. Check it out!
Yesterday, I wrote about the Twins arbitration numbers. So did Taylor's Twins Talk. Check out Josh's perspective!
Nick N wrote a great article on The Future of Johan Santana.
Stick & Ball Guy may be the best in the Biz. He has had some great articles of late including one on the Arbitration numbers and one on a quote from Flip Saunders saying that Chris Webber is a lot like Kevin Garnett. I agree with SBG! (That could work on a bumper sticker, or a political button or something!)
Bill Ferris of Detroit Tigers Blog wrote a very interesting article about how well a team hits the deeper into the count they get. I would encourage everyone to check it out here. It is incredibly interesting! There was a follow-up posting on pitches per plate appearance that includes a couple of files that you can look at to see more detail.
Baseball Digests' Joe Hamrahi had a Q&A with Terry Ryan that is interesting to read.
Just a quick thought on American Idol - As you know, I am a big fan of the show. Tuesday night, Season Six started with a show on the auditions on Minneapolis. There were over 10,000 that tried out and just 17 went on to Hollywood. Not a good showing. I love watching the early shows to see the bad singers and the reaction of the judges. However, they had a two hour show of the Minneapolis auditions, just 17 passed through, and we didn't see all of them. We saw may four or five that made the cut. In that much time, those people deserve to at least have their name read off. Other than that, I still love the show!
That is it for today. By the way, if you have any ideas for the site, people to try to get Q&As from, article concepts or more, please leave some Comments or send me an e-mail. I would appreciate your help. Have a terrific day!

Freshen Your Look
Moms know that a change of season means a whole new wardrobe -- for the kids. But how about sprucing up your own closet? When money is tight and time is fleeting, a few key pieces can update your wardrobe for the season. Kristin Grothe, a stylist at Hot Mama boutique in Littleton, Colorado, helps moms find wardrobe pieces to fit their lifestyles and body types. She shares some timely advice for moms on a budget (and really, aren't we all?) looking for the best buys this summer.
StripesA classic striped pattern is always fresh and versatile. "Striped tanks and tees are great because they keep the eye moving, detracting from trouble spots," says Grothe. Stripes come in every price point, size and color, so finding the perfect top should be as easy as a quick trip to your favorite discount store or online sale rack. BohemianThe Bohemian look comes and goes, but it's a style worth embracing, especially if you're a mom with comfort on your mind. You only need one or two pieces to really work this fun, effortless trend. "Bohemian pieces are organic, casual and natural-looking," says Grothe. "Look for crocheted tops, flowery prints, ruffles, textured fabrics and cool details." You can wear this look during a daytime play date or dress it up for date night. AccessoriesA wide range of accessories can make up for a limited wardrobe. Add interest and texture to any outfit by slipping on some jewelry, a hat, a scarf or a leather bag. "Summer is the perfect time for pops of color," says Grothe. "This season, bright bags are everywhere." You don't have to match your bag to your shoes or outfit. Choose a solid color that you love (after all, a "best buy" is an item that you'll actually use). "Tribal beaded necklaces and big, statement rings are also very popular," says Grothe. Check out these top 10 summer accessories. Flowy dressesThere's nothing better than a pretty, loosely-fit dress when you're getting dressed amongst the morning chaos. Casual sandals dress it down, while wedges and a great beaded necklace amp up the look. Either way, it makes sense to have at least one in your closet. "Flowy dresses are comfortable and so easy to wear," says Grothe. "They give you room to breathe while still looking stylish." Choose a neckline that flatters your shape, whether it be a halter, v-neck or asymmetric. Opt for a cotton or cotton-blend fabric that is soft and easy to maintain. Boyfriend jeansThe boyfriend jean is quickly becoming a classic. The rolled hem, relaxed fit and slightly masculine silhouette offers a casual, chic option for summer. These jeans pair perfectly with feminine tops, tanks and cardigans. "This look is a little slouchy but still very flattering, especially with the right top and shoes," says Grothe. Try them with a pedicure-friendly wedge sandal and a feminine top.

Rationalizable Conjectural Equilibrium: Between Nash and Rationalizability
For a steady state to be a Nash equilibrium the agents have to perfectly observe the actions of others. This paper suggests a solution concept for cases where players observe only an imperfect signal of what the others' actions are. The model is enriched by specifying the signal that each player has about the actions taken by the others. The solution, which we call rationalizbale conjectural equilibrium (RCE), is a profile of actions such that each player's action is optimal, given the assumption that it is common knowledge that all players maximize their expected utility given their knowledge. The RCE occupies an intermediary position between Nash equilibrium on one hand and Rationalizability style Bernheim-Pearce on the other hand. The concept is demonstrated by several examples in which it refines the rationalizability concept and still is not equivalent to Nash equilibrium.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

A symplectic manifold is
a smooth manifold of even dimension ;
equipped with a symplectic form:
a closed smooth 2-form ;
such that is non-degenerate, which means equivalently that
has the maximal rank at every point ;
is a symplectic vector space for every point .
A -dimensional topological manifold is
The non-degenracy of the symplectic form implies that it defines an isomorphism
between sections of the tangent bundle – vector fields – and sections of the cotangent bundle – differential 1-forms – on by the map
The vector fields in the image of the exact 1-forms under the isomorphism, remark 1, are called Hamiltonian vector fields.
This means that for a smooth function and its differential 1-form, the corresponding Hamiltonian vector field is the unique vector field such that
Equivalently, for a coordinate chart of and the symplectic form on this patch, the Hamiltonian vector field is
By Darboux's theorem every symplectic manifold has an atlas by coordinate charts on which the symplectic form takes the canonical form .
The existence of a 2-form which is non-degenerate (but not necessarily closed) is equivalent to the existence of a Sp-structure on , a reduction of the structure group of the tangent bundle along the inclusion of the symplectic group into the general linear group
Such an Sp(2n)-structure is also called an almost symplectic structure on . Adding the extra condition that – the condition for integrability of G-structures – makes it a genuine symplectic structure.
A metaplectic structure on a symplectic or almost symplectic manifold is in turn lift of the structure group to the metaplectic group.
For a symplectic manifold, the vector fields that generate diffeomorphisms that preserve the symplectic structure are precisely the locally Hamiltonian vector fields.
The condition in question is that the Lie derivative
vanishes. By Cartan's magic formula and using that this is equivalently
By the Poincare lemma it follows that there is locally a function with .
For a symplectic manifold, define a bilinear skew-symmetric map
In a coordinate chart this says that
The bracket makes a Poisson algebra.
every Kähler manifold is canonically also a symplectic manifold;
the critical locus over any local action functional becomes a symplectic manifold after dividing out symmetries: the reduced phase space.
The notion of symplectic manifold is equivalent to that of symplectic Lie n-algebroid for . (See there.)

for many reasons.
This movie theater is runned by a bunch of Cal Poly or Cuesta College students. Their service is terrible as what you pay for isn't what you get. Movie tickets continue to increase and nothing gets updated at this place.
I noticed many times ticket staff reading or studying textbooks in the ticket booths, ignoring people waiting in line. They are slow, they really take their time when you pay for a movie ticket. Discounts are nothing, if your a child or serior, really a no big breaks on discounts so small but more than what student get for discounts example.
The theater is dirty and the seats are horrible. You walk in, you see plenty of people leaving their feets on the chair where the ushers do nothing to ask them to put their feet down. They don't even bother to come in and inspect the audience at all. Forget it if you have a noise complaint or tell them to do something when their is a complaint in the theater. People come in, sit in front of you, you have to move to another seat where no one is in front of you because the theater is flat, all of them are. When people leave their feet on the chairs in your roll, you can feel it like someone is kicking the chairs, even from the oposite side. It sucks and the seats are sticky with coke and candy. Also the theater screens have spots on them and on top of that, the audio or stereo quality is aweful.
I mean really, they raise their prices all the time and they can't update anything or make changes to make customers happy.
On top of that, they ignored my complaint, they never responded to my letter and if they did, I would post it to show their response.
Listen, I know the movie business is a rip off and theaters are losing money from these so called greedy actors asking too much to work 2 months or so and walking away with $5, $10, $15 million and more and on top of that making the royalities on the film for years to come. I know it sucks that theaters have to pay big bucks and rent these expensive films. I agree, everyone is getting ripped off everywhere.
I am making a rip off complaint though to explain that here is a theater that is doing nothing about it. I remember in 2004, they stopped a movie on a Jim Carey film asking for donations but ask Jim Carey, he makes $20 million per film but asking people who have an average low salary living or even students to donate? I don't disgree with donating money, I disgree who they are asking. Do you think it is right to ask someone who makes $7.50 an hr versing an $20 million dollar actor? There are some many actors in the big screen films that are making $40 million a year or less or more but seeing a movie is not cheap anymore. Less people are going since inflation started in 2003 and now in 2007, people are complaining about going to the movies. People are not getting what they pay for but the actors, producers, the directors and so one are walking away rich.
However just let me make this simple rip off report to example on how some movie theaters are just ignoring the problems and doing nothing about it.
If Downtown Centre 7 Cinema San Luis Obispo changes, great I will recommend them and send a letter of recommendation to them if they do but when the years they started back in 1994 till now, they have done nothing to improve and people, this theater does make money. They have full shows and I know if there was a choice people would go somewhere else but San Luis Obispo is limited for movie theaters, where have 3 in this town and one International film theater called the Palm theater wish I love this place.
Anyway if you are thinking about go to the Downtown Centre 7 Cinema San Luis Obispo, think twice and go to another theater where it is cheaper with better service.
There bathrooms are dirty as well and to think how many staff they have running the place, the place is not getting special attention for quality

Getting better, going back to the Theaters in SLO
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, October 03, 2012
Yes, they do not do a good job managing their theaters such as talking, people texting, feet on chairs, staff reading college book at the tickets booths, gum on screens and etc. While not perfect I am sure many other theaters have the same problem.
So with that said I am giving them a C rating for being in business under tough times. I will do busines with them again as I have been.
I just hope they will continue to slighty improve if they will continue to try to make their customers happy.

SUBMITTED: Monday, July 20, 2009
outdated and never maintained properly. The seats are squeaky; lot of students put their feet on the chairs being totally disrespectful to the other viewers when the seats sit so low, you can see nothing but heads and big hats in front of you. The audio is also terribly outdated as well, you can hear the how old they are if they have an action movie playing. Really for $9.50 for a matinee ticket, they certainly are in the negative here.
It is also true the place is run by misinformed college students and also the manager, another mismanaged college student, who doesn't even know how to run the place or make orders to respond to complaints to see customers are happy. They think just to raise the price, again and again and again where parking is terrible and you have to pay for parking to see a movie unless you want to walk several blocks away to get free parking.
They also do not have ushers, forget about asking them to ask people to quit talking, they avoid complaints on every level.
Food just like all of them, all high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup and trans fats foods for a ripoff. Everything they sell too, is all noisy wrap candies.
If you can, rent a movie or go online go look on torrents and see the movie for free online. With how bad the economy is, this movie theater is not in anyway understanding for how people are surviving to entertain on a cheap budget. To me, they deserve an F letter grade.

It's a movie theater in a small town, which also compared to all other theaters in the area is cheaper (within the county). No I'm not counting the Palm, as it's a completely different set of movies.
I'm not going to note my relation to the company or any employees, but sorry, they may have sold out shows, but that place is making no money. Hence the current lack of service they have now, they are starting to skimp on employees. Any person with a clue knows that movie theaters don't keep ticket money, the ticket sales kind of go to you know...the movie companies that made the movies!!! That's why snacks are so highly priced...that's where a theater makes its money and pays for its employees, kind of a no brainer if you just look at it. , not to mention the snack bar staff will actually recommend to customers to go hit up 7-11 for candy and drinks as its cheaper. And Downtown Centre actually allows consumers to bring in their own snacks, unlike a lot of theaters out there. Their only restrictions are hot coffee and booze. sounds sensible to me.
Lighten up a little bit man, the General Manager of the place wasn't even a business major, she may be failing miserably, but she's trying. the corporate people won't shell out the bucks to pay for a real manager.
Their corporate offices are what are the biggest joke, as you said your letter went un-answered. They won't even acknowledge letters or complaints from their own employees. So.... yeah.... let's put the blame on them.
If you want a joke of a theater, try the fremont. the GM there is a complete stoner joke. Not to mention a total sleazeball.
I've never noticed downtown centre's bathrooms to be dirty, always pretty clean unless some jackass didn't flush the toilet.

I've read on another board that Disney Visa owners are starting to receive e-mails confirming that free dining is being offered for Magic Your Way packages with booking starting Monday (Thursday, for the rest of us mere mortals without the Disney Visa). It's requiring a five night minimum and arrival date must be between 8/26-9/22. Several had received the e-mail or confirmed it with Disney Visa CMs.
YEA!! It's back!!
Please move as far to the end of the row as possible. Stopping in the middle is distinctly unpatriotic!

I love to get a great deal!

Mar 7, 2014The movie had a really good idea, but it didn't go anywhere... It was just long and unfunny and even boring at times. Yup, an epic party being boring! that's how you feel when you watch this movie.
Dec 31, 2013
Dec 29, 2013Esta pelicula me gusto, tuvo comedia."Project X" es una comedia divertida, que tiene momentos desesperantes.Esta pelicula tuvo un buen argumento para presentar.

Jul 26, 2013Movie wasn't so bad. The party, the girls, the nerds, the s**t, and some a**hole, and any other things. If i was living like Thomas doing a bunch of parties, where there's are some guns, cops, a**hole, and guy with a flamethrower, I RATHER WATCH!
Jul 16, 2013Not hilarious and not the best movie ever but still a good watch for anyone who enjoys films like 'the hangover' or 'Superbad'. It goes into the mind of a teenage boy and is quite accurate with what their life circulates around at that age. But it over exaggerates it and everything goes out of control at the party.

Mar 3, 2013How is this considered a comedy? Did anyone actually take the time to write any jokes? Nope, just got attractive women, told them to take their shirts off and pretend to be at the most unrealistic party ever. Anyone out there saying it reminds them of their party days are just lying. This stuff doesn't happen.
Feb 8, 2013Everyone who gave this a bad review seems to be some stupid old fart, well get over it, you not a teenager any more and this film isnt made for you, so why would you watch it, let alone give it a bad review, move on
Jan 23, 2013A very original and funny movie!
Jan 17, 2013This film is simply abysmal. I don't see how anyone could find it funny; firstly, it is fille with losers who curse every 2 seconds - boring. Furthermore, the camerawork is appalling. I know it's done for effect but it really is terrible. What a waste of time, do not see this tripe.
Jan 12, 2013
Dec 31, 2012Absolutely terrible. Not funny in the least. If this movie reminds you of your childhood then you had a **** childhood devoid of compassion and any sense of human decency.
Dec 30, 2012
Dec 18, 2012Could have been much, much crazier. I'm only giving it 4 marks because few of the scenes were stupid and they shouldn't have been included and vice versa and also because Oliver Cooper a.k.a Costa really tried to imitate Jonah Hill and that seems unoriginal and flop. When it comes to teenage parties and stuff, Jonah is the only person that comes on my mind because he really knows how to party.
Dec 2, 2012This is a little late to be reviewing right now, but this movie sucked. The type of movie like this was perfected by superbad, and the producer Todd Phillips perfected comedy movies with The Hangover saga and Old School, but not this one. This movie is 88 minutes of junk and garbage. Not funny at all, unlike the movies i mentioned (Even Hangover: pt 2).
Nov 29, 2012
Nov 5, 2012The shenanigans of the teens at times made me smile, and even that was rare, but let's face it, Project X is more of a failed reality show pilot than a film.

Sep 19, 2012This movie sucked, it was just horrible the cast sucked, it wasn't believe able, it wasn't funny and the dialogue was just the worst. it was probably the worst movie of all time.
Sep 17, 2012Project X is every teens wet dream. Enjoy viewing experience with your college dudes, and you'll be notice the unlimited high-school **** Till the break down, yo!
Sep 10, 2012Speaking technically,the cam work was awesome. Before giving a negative review...do u guys even know anything about film making?
Think Big. Think Different!!!

Aug 29, 2012Dazed and Confused for stupid people.
One of the worst films ever made, this movie is not only unfunny, uncreative, and boring, it's a downright offensive film that offers up the following 'moral' at the end: It doesn't matter if you ruin your own life and the lives of your parents, as long as you're popular in high school, because that's what is REALLY important.
"There's a midget in the oven!" is about as inspired as the dialogue and set pieces get in this queasy-making entertainment.
Project X's first-person verisimilitude is the movie's primary strength and most damning weakness.
Most teen flicks just fake being fueled by anarchy. But the gut-bustingly funny Project X is the real deal. It's raunchy, reckless and ready to party. What's not to like?

You can see his face and limbs better in this one:
Though I have to think that buffalo Jesus is more likely some anti-christ chicken wing, since the real Jesus clearly prefers less spicy things, like toast, tortillas and water stains.
Six minutes. Sloppy was THAT quick on the "khaaan!" reference. I need to check here more often I guess!
I have had the same thought. A jacket with white piping, tan slacks and loafers? Who's that supposed to be? If you invite me to your Halloween party, at least I can be counted on to get it. (Making it even harder for people to figure out the costume is the fact that Number 6 never wore his number like all the other Numbers did.)
Yeah, you'd need the big pin with the old-timey bicycle on it to sell the whole thing.
every year I want to be The Prisoner for halloween, but think nobody will get it. Also, I'd need a rover... any volunteers?
Did anyone ever read the DC comics follow up mini-series in the 80's? It was messy and answered no questions. I liked it.
I'm not taking financial advice from anyone who spells it "oppertunity," no matter how many exclaimation points their pyramid scheme pitch has in it.
maybe in different states/markets? Though it is cable and across channels, so I assumed it was national blocks. Maybe I'm not reading the right magazines?
Another thing: why do all online animated mortgage ads have dancing silhouettes?
but all the ones I've seen have the same thing: they all mention and display the normal address in addition to the other one, but ONLY the one other one.
You are cool then with poop and hair shedding and extreme emotional neediness?
I had a child and suddenly realized I hate dogs. I think I have some built in limit to the number of lifeforms I'm willing to clean up shit for. Does that make me a bad person?

Sherrie Levine
American, born 1947
Equivalents: After Stieglitz 1–18, 2006
Set of eighteen inkjet prints, edition 6/12
19 x 13 inches (48.3 x 33 cm) each
Bequest of John Mortimer Schiff, by exchange, and Albert H. Tracy Fund, by exchange, 2009
Sherrie Levine employs the appropriation of works by male modern masters to critique issues of authorship and authenticity. Levine's approach to art-making breathes new life into gendered hierarchies of the art-historical canon. By building up, and knocking down, the past, Levine thwarts the process of looking—leaving the viewer to question his or her consciousness about art.
Equivalents: After Stieglitz 1–18, 2006, consists of eighteen digitized and pixilated photographic prints after American photographer Alfred Stieglitz's analogue images of clouds from the series Equivalents, 1922–1935, which are said to be abstract correlatives of his own experiences and feelings.
Levine's work uniquely speaks to the Gallery's history and its support of Stieglitz's aim to elevate photography to the level of fine art at the turn of the twentieth century. By building on this history, Levine's work adds another layer to what is already a rich and diverse approach to collecting photography.
Call Ahead to Confirm

In Honor of Rick and Judy Davis
We ought to pause for a second and reconsider the dates of construction of this 70 mile highway: 1913-22. This was at the beginning of the era of paved roads in America. That a paved road from Portland to the mid-Gorge would have wound in labyrinthine fashion over the cliffs and through the towns and not directly from one point to the next was arresting. The chief engineers of the project, Samuel C. Lancaster and John A. Elliott and the brains and money behind it all, Sam Hill, the eccentric son of millionaire Great Northern rail man James Hill, wanted to build what they called the "King of Roads," and they frankly subordinated economic utility to aesthetic concerns. From Elliott in 1929:
"Grades, curvatures, distance and even expense were sacrificed to reach some scenic vista or to develop a particularly interesting spot..Although the highway would have commerical value in connecting the coast with eastern areas, no consideration was given the commercial over the scenic requirements. The one prevailing idea in the location and construction was to make this highway a great scenic boulevard surpassing all other highways in the world" (from a readerboard at the top of Rowena Crest).
In order to fufill these goals, the design standards specified a maximum grade of 5%, minimum turning radii of 100 feet and a road that frequently looped back on itself. One could scarcely imagine such a highway being built today.
Problems in the 1950s
One of the most impressive features of this original highway was the stretch called the Mosier Twin Tunnels, at milepost 72 of the Highway. They were each about 100 or so yards long, blasted into the cliffs and separated from the other by about 40 yards. From the Columbia River several hundred feet below it looked as if these tunnels were almost hanging over the edge of the cliff, and indeed there were a few borings from the tunnel roadway to the tunnel edge, allowing a person to stop the car and look directly over the cliff from inside the tunnel. But, as is often the case, the drama of the view and the marvel of engineering was purchased at the price of safety. Cascading rocks would occasionally plunge down from above, and they might even hit a car or a person who was trying to enter or go between the tunnels.
Then, early in 1953 a talus bank from the cliff above the west tunnel began to loosen, and by March 1953 a sizable chunk of rock had fallen and damaged vehicles. Debris from 6" to 3' in length, and some pieces weighing up to a ton, blocked the highway. Fearing disaster, State Highway Engineer R.H. ("Sam"--does EVERYONE have to be named Sam in this saga?) Baldock decided to shut down the tunnel. However, after closing down the tunnel, he ended up getting a stretch of I-5 named for him, even though almost no one knows where the "Baldock Freeway" now is. In any case, Baldock not only ordered access to the tunnels be closed off but, in order to stabilize the tunnels, required them to be filled with debris.
Because a river-level highway was being constructed at the time (US 30, which would be replaced by the Interstate 84 a decade later), traffic was diverted from the HCRH and the latter was gradually ignored and fell into disrepair. This remained the situation until the 1980s, when citizen efforts brought about the creation of the National Scenic Area and when funds were set aside to make repairs to the tunnels, as well as to other damaged portions of the roadway.
Repairing the Tunnels
So, between 1995 and 2000 the tunnels were cleared from debris and reopened, this time only to foot and bicycle traffic. Most significant from an engineering standpoint was the construction of a huge catchment structure just west of the west tunnel, which would "catch" a rock of 5,000 pounds falling 200 feet. Walking under this structure, as I did today, not only gave me the feeling of safety, but extended the "tunnel" by another several hundred yards. The restored tunnel can be seen from I-84 below, if you look up right as you get to milepost 69 (As mentioned, milepost 72 is in the tunnel. The mileposts of 1-84 and the HCRH don't precisely correspond).
And so today I had the chance, with Judy and Rick, to walk through this wonderfully restored tunnel. We parked our car at the Senator Mark O. Hatfield trailhead (you know you are in Oregon if every few miles you find something named after the good Senator, whether it is a library, an aquarium, a trailhead or some other type of building). Joggers, bikers, hikers and others we met along the way were inordinately friendly; it seemed as if the spirit of the old highway, where wealthy Portlanders and others would meet each other high above the majestic Columbia, was with us as we walked the highway.
As I left Rick and Judy's, I was told to drive East for a few miles before getting back on the highway to return to Portland. I did and stopped at the Rowena Crest, an overlook that had been converted from a former gravel pit to one of the most commanding vistas in the Gorge. Miles to the East and West opened up for me, and the words of Samuel Lancaster, the chief engineer, were ringing in my ears:
"On starting the survey, our first business was to find the beauty spots, or those points where the most beautiful things along the line might be seen to the best advantage and, if possible, to locate the road in a such a way to reach them."
I would say that Lancaster and Elliott had done just that. And, I might add, that grants from the federal government and the state of Oregon in the 1990s had enabled the restoration of this national treasure. I was blessed, not only by Rick and Judy's hospitality and friendship but by the soul-enriching lessons and vistas of the Historic Columbia River Highway.
