No sooner did we part ways (for the second time) with LKII than the company announced a settlement agreement with ABN AMRO Bank and the Royal Bank of Scotland, which, as we understand it, resulted in $64 million in obligations being deemed "satisfied in full". ABN also agreed to transfer 2,151,103 shares of outstanding LKII stock, more than 25% of outstanding shares, back to the company. Lazare Kaplan forked over $14 million in cash to ABN and RBS as part of the settlement.
Shares jumped on the news, and now "trade" in the $1.41 range. With such a small float, trading volume is extremely light, and the bid ask spread very wide; $1.30/$1.75 at this writing.
Certainly sounds like some positive developments for Lazare, which has suffered in the aftermath of some missing inventory (diamonds), but we still don't know what shape the company is in, and have not seen a balance sheet in ages. We also don't know that status of the company's $640 million lawsuit with it's insurers.
This could get interesting, but there are still many unknowns.
Stay tuned.

At the invitation of Professor Robert, I'm starting a new thread.
Dr Bob, you are continually trying to draw clear distinctions between Catholicism and other (especially Christian) religions. I grant that Catholics are (a little) different, but, as they still fundamentally believe in the magic, invisible daddy in the sky, there is really NO difference.
Two points: The Bible (whether or not you take it literally) is the foundation of your (and all Christian) religions. A cursory examination of the Bible reveals a SMALL handful of usable tenets along with pages and chapters FULL of utter nonsense. The fact that any religion would base itself upon such a holey book, makes that religion as creditable as Joseph's golden tablets from God which he, unfortunately, misplaced.
God: I will be heartily disagreed with here, but I find the idea of God to be completely understandable. Here we have, at the dawn of civilization, various groups of totally ignorant people trying to put words, meanings, and causes to all manner of things which they couldn't possible understand. Combine this with a clever but ruthless set who have come to realize that, if they ascribed words, meanings, and causes to the world around them, people would actually BELIEVE them (as they no other source of information). These priests could and did use this power to govern the people - insisting that everyone in the tribe bow before them.
Then came the age of knowledge. We could start to actually understand all these things that the priests had, up till then, kept to themselves. As the power base for all civilized people rested with these priests, they were (and, of course, still are) wildly defensive of their position.
There is, however, NO CONCEIVABLE REASON for any educated person to believe in the supernatural - aside from these historic pressures.,

Fantastic, Kris! There should be a formula for that!
LOL. Something like that I suppose!
Honestly, one of the things about Catholics is that we have a very strong theology of Church, as people of God. So the "we" language is authentic within our faith or culture, but I certainly acknowledge @KrisFeenstra's point. Feel free to substitute "that Bob guy" every time I say "we" if you like!
pseudepigriphal - What an excellent word. I don't think I can reasonably use it ina sentence at work today at the rehab facility where I work, but I simply must try to work it in a conversation sometime soon. I'm not even being sarcastic.
All holy books are pseudepigriphal - otherwise known as codswallop, translated how many times, by how many different men???? All retro fitted to previous myths, dates changed to fit pagan holidays, and then taught as 'The Truth'.
In some ways you can think of Catholicism the way you think of a University -
Nooo - if anybody did that, we would be 500 years behind, still sacrificing daughters, still stoning people to death, cutting off hands, playing with snakes. You will find that some cults still do all of this. So by what criteria do we ditch some things in the bible, and then not others?
Do you believe Noah's Ark really happened?
Do you believe in the virgin birth?
Actually, I don't know why I bother asking any question of Robert, he won't answer, or can't :).
Pseudepigraphal (hat's an "a" after the "gr" though I am not dinging anyone here but Professor Robert whom you've all copied on it--the spell checker doesn't like it either way) comes from pseudo and epigraph (that's how I spotted the spelling goof), and simply means the work wasn't written by the person the work claims to be written by. Many works don't contain a claim of authorship and may be Bravo Sierra from one end to the other (as Suzanne correctly thinks) but aren't pseudepigraphal.
None of the gospels names the person who wrote it (there's no "Hi I am Matthew let me tell you about Jesus" in Matthew, for instance--and the title is not part of the actual text of the biblical book), so they are not pseudepigraphal. Some of the letters from Paul that got into the bible are pseudepigraphal as there is little doubt in the minds of any well-versed biblical scholar who isn't a raving fundie that Paul did not in fact write them; I am thinking in particular of 1&2 Timothy and Titus, which reference church organizational structures that didn't exist until the 2nd century CE. There are other letters where there is some doubt that Paul wrote them, so the scholars argue about it (2 Thessalonians, Ephesians and Colossians). The latter two scholars tend to lean away from Paul being the author; 2 Thessalonians the split seems to be about 50-50. Some of the other letters from other authors are likely pseudepigraphal too; I just don't have the list handy.
By the way one of the most famous pseudepigraphal works is 3 Corinthians, which was obvious enough of a fake not to get included in the Bible.
Some names are very common; if someone writes "I am John and this is what I saw" he could be entirely honest while not being the John--since he didn't say "I am John and this is what I saw when Jesus and I where gallivanting around Galilee and Judea." (Not that the Gospel of John makes any claim as to the name of its author; I am making up an example to illustrate my point here.) This may be what happened in the case of James; the James who wrote the letter might not be the James believed to be the brother of Jesus.
The book of Hebrews is for some reason widely attributed to Paul... but it does not say in its own text that it's from Paul, and it doesn't match his style.
Ironically if you look at the works that really were written by Paul, he wasn't as anti-semitic and misogynistic as we atheists like to claim he was; the nastiest of those statements are in pseudepigrapha and books that don't have his name in them. That does not let Christianity and the early church off the hook though, as they chose to include the books with those sentiments in them.
I've confessed earlier that I'm not particularly interested in the Bible, but I do have a simple question (which may have been answered, but which I didn't see or possibly didn't understand). Was Jesus known in his own time?" I would think that someone raising the dead and performing other miracles would get quite a lot of "press". Basically, is there ANY tie between Jesus and any documentation or witnesses in his time? As virtually ALL of Jesus' attributes (from virgin birth to crucifixion [oops - to Resurrection - can't forget that with Easter coming up.]) were also ascribed to others prior to Jesus. What are the chances that Jesus never actually existed?
Good question, Mike. The Romans recorded practically everything that moved, yet not a word about Jesus - there are scattered pieces of script that appear a generation or two after he supposedly lived, although many of these are disputable. There is certainly nothing that resembles 'proof" as we use the term, that he did exist at all.
According to the story, Jesus was a carpenter - He could have even made a table and scratched his name into it.
But no - Nothing.
There is no contemporary Roman record of any of the events in the bible that would surely (if they had happened) would have caught people's attention, such as the aftermath of his death on the cross as recorded in the gospels (the ground opening up, a zombie apocalypse, etc.)
me - " What are the chances that Jesus never actually existed?"
SteveInCO - "about 60-75 percent confident of it"
Wow. Never expected an actual number. Thanks.
Well it's worth what you paid for it; I am NOT an expert, and I know this is just my opinion.
I think a second hang up you seem to have is with "the supernatural", whatever that is. I think the word comes from modern new-age neopaganism. You seem to want to associate Christendom with that sort of animistic druidism (magic and faeries and whatnot), even though Christendom has joined you in condemning such nonsense from its very beginning (back when such nonsense was actually mainstream).
Professor. Robert I find this comment very interesting. Is your belief not based on a supernatural being, does your church not perform or practise certain rituals? What is the difference between your catholic god and the god the Xhosa or any other culture belief in, what is the difference between your rosary and the ritual beads of the traditional African? What is the difference between praying to god through Mary or the holy spirit in comparrison to the Xhosa praying to his Ansectors spirit to interses between him and the uThixo (Creator) The common denominator is that you both belief that what you belief is the truth, that the entity you belief in has the ultimate say in your life, live or die, be punished or blessed, both belief that their god is real and has a real influence in their lives. And the civilized majority would belief that the Xhosa god is a god created from myth.

March Moment: The Garden in '71Posted by jstevrtc on March 24th, 2010
Few college basketball fans are born with their love for the game. For most aficionados, at some point on the way from infancy to college hoops fan, there is a moment. A single play, shot, player, game, or event at which point they say to themselves, "I will always have this in my life." Because it is the time of the season that carries the most gravitas, these things often happen in March. We asked some of our friends and correspondents: what was the thing that turned you into a lifelong college basketball fan? What was your…March Moment? We'll be posting some of their answers for the rest of the month.
In this edition, RTC correspondent Ray Floriani remembers a New York City night in 1971 that altered his perception of winning and losing, how he was affected by both, and how it all cemented his love for our game:
NEW YORK CITY – The intensity, excitement and general myraid of emotions packed into that March evening will probably never be duplicated. It was the ultimate heartbreaker. At the same time, this was the one. The game and experience that certifiably had yours truly hooked on basketball, notably college basketball, as the favorite sport. One that transformed a casual observer into a devout follower.
Mention "the Georgia Tech game in the NIT" and any St. Bonaventure fan who can remember gas being under a buck a gallon will recall the year (1971) , the date (March 25), the circumstance and how it played out. A little background…
The 1970-71 season was my freshman year at St. Bonaventure. The previous March the Bonnies made it to the Final Four and if Bob Lanier hadn't been injured late in the East Regional final against Villanova, who knows? UCLA's national championship run might have been interrupted.
The team lost Lanier and a top notch lead guard in Billy Kalbaugh. There was optimism though as the returnees had experienced winning and approached the season with a positive mindset. Among the veterans returning for coach Larry Weise were Greg Gary, Matt Gantt, Dale Tepas, and Paul Hoffman. Gantt, at 6-5, was the big man. An incredible leaper, Gantt was the prototype "frequent flyer" who could make life miserable for opponents five (or more) inches taller. Sophomore Carl Jackson was up from the freshman team (they had them back then). Overall, there was talent.
I had the good fortune to get into the program as one of the team managers. It was a job I did four years in high school and would do four years at Bonaventure. The season went extremely well with the Bonnies, ranked high as 11th at one point, finishing 18-5. Back then 25 teams made the NCAA tournament and with the East basically a group of independents, as Bonaventure was, you needed a great record to get in. The Bonnies accepted an NIT bid. Again, in that day it was a 16 team field with all games contested at Madison Square Garden.

General Winfield Scott storms the Chapultepec fortress
On this day in 1847, General Winfield Scott wins the last major battle of the Mexican-American War, storming the ancient Chapultepec fortress at the edge of Mexico City.
The war between the U.S. and its southern neighbor began the year before when President James Polk ordered General Zachary Taylor to advance to the disputed Rio Grande border between the newly-minted American state of Texas and Mexico. The Mexican government had once controlled Texas and refused to recognize the American claim on the state or the validity of the Rio Grande as an international border. Viewing Taylor's advance as an invasion of Mexican soil, the Mexican army crossed the Rio Grande and attacked the U.S. forces in Texas in April 1846. By mid-May the two nations were formally at war.
The Mexican army was larger than the American army, but its leadership, training, and supplies were all inferior to those of the U.S. forces. Mexican gunpowder was notoriously weak, and cannon balls from their guns often just bounced slowly across battlefields where the American soldiers simply stepped out of the way. As a result, by January 1847, General Taylor had conquered California and the northern Mexican territories that would later make up much of the American southwest. But Taylor was reluctant to take the war into the heart of Mexico, and Polk instead turned to General Winfield Scott to finish the job.
In March, Scott landed nearly 12,000 men on the beaches near Vera Cruz, Mexico, captured the town, and began to march inland to Mexico City. Flanking the Mexican defenses at Cerro Gordo Pass, Scott stabbed southward below Mexico City, taking the towns of Contreras and Churubusco. When a final attempt at peace negotiations failed in August, Scott advanced north on the Mexican capital. After Scott's forces stormed the fortress at Chapultepec, the last significant Mexican resistance was eliminated. The next day, September 14, Scott marched his army into Mexico City and raised the American flag over the Mexican National Palace-the "Halls of Montezuma" later celebrated in the famous Marine's Hymn. For the first time in U.S. history, the Stars and Stripes flew over a foreign capital.

Every year we start to get really excited as we countdown to the Wisconsin State Fair and this year is no exception!
Check out our list of the Top 5 Things to Do/ See/ Eat at Wisconsin's State Fair this year:
- Cream Puffs - Always makes our list for two reasons – Nothing compares to a REAL WI State Fair Cream Puff (in fact we even devoted an entire blog post to it last year) PLUS they are made by the WI Bakers Association to promote Wisconsin's dairy products
- Giant Slide – That big green & yellow slide (& their burlap sacks) beckons us every year from smack dab in the middle of the Fair
- FREE samples – Be sure to pick up your Information Booklets when you enter the Fair to find out where you can get FREE samples of Coke Zero (full run of Fair), Mello Yello (9th-15th) or Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (12th-15th) + free cups of water from the Salvation Army (east side of Expo Center)
- The Animals – No trip to the Fair is complete without checking out the cute babies in the Birthing Barn and catching a Pig Race (or two!) New "animals" at the Fair for 2010- check out the Days of the Dinosaur exhibit in the Big Backyard ($1 admission)
- Deep Fried Food-on-a-Stick – It's become almost a cult-like phenomenon! With dozens of foods-on-a-stick (most, but not all, deep fried) we asked our resident expert, a girl who saves up her dollars and calories for the Fair, for some of her recommendations:
- Deep Fried Oreos, Snickers, Pickles & Veggies are all located along the strip of food vendors parallel to the racetrack along the eastern border of the Fair grounds
- Check for a 'buy one-get one' coupon in the info booklets for the Milk Barn, located at the northeast end of the park (just south of the Midway area). The line is always long, but it moves pretty fast.
- Then, grab some Cookie Dough-On-A-Stick — best enjoyed shared (and with a cup or two from the Milk Barn!)
Bonus #6 - Don't forget the Wisconsin Products Pavilion:
Home to the Maple Syrup producers (Maple Cotton Candy- yum!), plus Grilled Cheese sandwiches, Palermo's pizza, the FFA ice cream sundae folks and US! Be sure to stop by the Dept of Tourism booth in the center of the pavilion and pick up your 2010 Wisconsin Lodging Directory.

Mathematics is one of the most critical building blocks of a well-rounded education, and the University of Nebraska is a leader in preparing the next generation of the state's math teachers. Now, thanks to a generous grant from two leading Omaha foundations, the university will be in an even stronger position to work with schools and teachers to help Nebraska students improve their math skills.
The Sherwood Foundation and the Lozier Foundation have partnered to provide the $5.5 million grant to the University of Nebraska Foundation. The grant will support a three-year partnership between Omaha Public Schools and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Center for Science, Mathematics and Computer Education called the NebraskaMATH Omaha Public Schools Teacher Leader Academy. Through the academy, a community of OPS mathematics teachers in grades K-12 who are dedicated to strengthening math teaching and learning in Omaha will have access to continuing education and graduate coursework centered on math education. While led by UNL, the new initiative also will involve mathematics education faculty from the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
The project will reach more than 250 teachers over three years. The first group of teachers began graduate coursework this month.
"The University of Nebraska is home to outstanding teacher education programs, and this new partnership will allow us to do even more to support teachers as they prepare our students to succeed in the knowledge economy," NU President James B. Milliken said. "Students and teachers across Omaha will benefit tremendously. I thank the Sherwood Foundation and Lozier Foundation for their vision and generosity."
UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman said, "Our faculty's strength in mathematics research, coupled with an innovative partnership with Omaha Public Schools and local foundations, will benefit thousands of Nebraska students."
Jim Lewis, UNL mathematics professor and director of the Center for Science, Mathematics and Computer Education, said the goals of the OPS initiative are to strengthen mathematics learning in Omaha classrooms, narrow student achievement gaps between different populations and conduct research that continues to inform school improvement efforts.
"This dramatic investment in Omaha's mathematics teachers will impact student learning throughout the district, both in the short and long term," Lewis said. "We are extremely grateful to both the Sherwood Foundation and the Lozier Foundation for their support in helping to form the NebraskaMATH Omaha Public Schools Teacher Leader Academy."
Dianne Lozier, trustee of the Lozier Foundation, said: "The Lozier Foundation cares passionately about the elimination of the academic achievement gap for many in the Omaha area, especially in regard to reading and math. Thus, we are pleased to be a partner in furthering NebraskaMATH so that accountable and effective systems and methods can be implemented for the benefit of all students within the OPS system."
The academy will offer various programs for teachers, including Primarily Math, a program for K-3 teachers; Math in the Middle, a master's degree program for grades 4-8 teachers; and fellowships for K-12 math teachers to take courses at no cost. The grant also supports six K-3 and two middle-grade math coaches for OPS.
Throughout the project, university faculty will study the impact of professional development on teachers' beliefs and knowledge, student outcomes and the impact school culture has on student achievement. They will also establish a studio classroom as a model for implementing instructional change in K-3 classrooms.
"The UNO STEM faculty look forward to continuing our collaboration with UNL on this important initiative," said Nancy Edick, dean of the College of Education at UNO. "It is a great opportunity to contribute expertise in mathematics and mathematics education to help with the critical goal of increasing student achievement at OPS."
NebraskaMATH was started in 2009 by the university with funding from the National Science Foundation. It researches the premise that enhancing a teacher's own math education skills is critical to significantly improving student mathematics achievement. NebraskaMATH partners with public school districts in Grand Island, Lincoln, Papillion-La Vista and Omaha, as well as state Educational Service Units and UNO.
The new project and its research results will provide a national model for effective mathematics teacher education, Lewis said. The OPS Teacher Leader Academy builds on the university's NSF-funded teacher education initiatives, including Math in the Middle, NebraskaMATH and NebraskaNOYCE. Nearly 75 OPS teachers have participated in those programs, forming a base of teacher leaders for the new program.
Instructional teams for the courses will include a mix of OPS master teachers and faculty from UNL, UNO and other area colleges. Collaborating with Lewis on development of the OPS partnership are co-principal investigators Ruth Heaton, professor in the UNL College of Education and Human Sciences, and Wendy Smith, research assistant professor in the UNL College of Arts and Sciences.
UNO mathematics education faculty members are providing some of the Omaha-area instruction. Angie Hodge, Janice Rech and Michael Matthews of UNO will continue NebraskaMATH collaborative efforts with Lewis.
More information about the Teacher Leader Academy, including program applications for teachers, is available here.
The grant from The Sherwood Foundation and the Lozier Foundation also provide support to the University of Nebraska's current fundraising initiative, the Campaign for Nebraska: Unlimited Possibilities, and its priorities to increase support for students and improve early childhood education. The Campaign for Nebraska has raised more than $1.2 billion for the university thus far and concludes in 2014.

Fast, temporary tax relief
If you've recently bought new machinery or plan to do so soon, you can speed up the depreciation and increase tax deductions as written in the economic stimulus bill recently signed into law. But there's a catch. Because the legislation is retroactive to September 10, 2001, you may need to file an amended tax return to maximize tax savings.
The legislation also has a provision allowing an extension to the carryback period for losses. The previous carryback period of two years is now extended to five years.
The tax incentives in the bill are a limited-time offer, covering September 10, 2001, through September 11, 2004.
The Association of Equipment Manufacturers is applauding this "capital depreciation bonus" as a potential boon to the manufacturing sector.
Lease sharing
MachineryLink now offers a new lease program that allows growers to lease equipment for a certain number of hours and specific dates.
The Innovation Managed Lease Program offers a three-year shared lease arrangement for major brands of combines. The lease includes repairs, maintenance and transportation. A grower leases the equipment for the number of hours he needs to harvest his crop and reserves the dates he needs. When the grower is finished with the harvest, the equipment is transported to the next farmer. MachineryLink reports that farmers who use combine equipment less that 350 hrs./yr. can realize significant savings by leasing a combine through this program as opposed to buying a machine. Check out the equipment cost calculators and other resources at www.machinerylink.com or call 800/713-5618.

Does Mass Affect the Sinking/Floating of Objects?
Students have a major misconception that mass determines whether an object floats or sinks. This is an activity that forces students to deal with that misconception and hopefully break it. The following materials are needed:
- large pumice stone
- Density Sphere Experiment Kit
- large fish tank of water
Have the students read the statement, "Objects that are high in mass, sink in water." Have the students show in some way if they agree with the statement, disagree with the statement, or are somewhat in between. Have them explain why they think that way and give examples. Then present the students with the list of all of the items to be placed into the tank, arranged according to their masses. Do not show the objects to the students. Have them write a hypothesis for each item (on whether they will sink or float) based only the property of mass. Then drop each item one by one, in order of their masses, into the water. Have students record the results. The students will realize that mass has nothing to do with whether an object sinks or floats. Then show the students the objects' densities. Hopefully they see the pattern of those objects with densities less than one float, and those with densities greater than one sink. It is not important to explain what density is at that point, but just that it is a property of matter that is vital in determining if an object floats or sinks.

ObjectiveGAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company whose primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income from interest, dividends, and option premiums. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Fund's strategy and its primary objective. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will attempt to achieve its objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the natural resources and gold industries. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund intends to generate current income from short-term gains through an option strategy of writing (selling) covered call options of the equity securities assets in its portfolio.
GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing. You can obtain more information about the Fund by calling 1-800-GABELLI (1-800-422-3554). The Fund's net asset value ("NAV") per share will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund's portfolio securities. Stocks are subject to market, economic, and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. Investors acquire shares of the Fund on a securities exchange at market value, which fluctuates according to the dynamics of supply and demand. Industry Concentration Risks. The Fund's investments will be concentrated in each of the gold industry and in the natural resources industries. Because the Fund is concentrated in these industries, it may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in the gold or natural resources industries would have a larger impact on the Fund than on an investment company that does not concentrate in such industries. Covered Call and Other Option Transaction Risks. There are several risks associated with writing covered calls and entering into other types of option transactions. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, resulting in a given transaction not achieving its objectives. In addition, a decision as to whether, when and how to use covered call options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the exercise price of the call option, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline.

"Are you willing to go to the
foreign mission field ?" was the
question directed by the Rev. Don-ald
Goldsmith, missionary to Bra-zil,
in an address to Bethel stu-dents,
on Wednesday night, Nov.
Missionaries Lucius Butler and
Donald Goldsmith teamed to pro-vide
a double emphasis in present-ing
the problems, qualifications
and outreach of foreign missions.
This vesper service, the last of
the World Missions Emphasis
Week, was led by Robert Fryk-holm,
seminary senior. Keith Mc-
Connel, college junior, directed the
singing, and John Bohlen, senior,
read scripture and led the group
in prayer.
The Rev. Lucius Butler present-ed
the areas of specialized oppor-tunity
to be found in missions.
The areas briefly touched upon
were the medical outreach, educa-tion
work, and evangelism litera-ture.
The latter was the main con-cern
of Mr. Butler as he is in-volved
in the evangelism litera-ture
outreach on the Japanese mis-sion
field. In essence this mission-ary
told of personal experiences
he encountered in literature work.
His jobs ranged from being a
stock boy to editing a Sunday
school magazine in the native
tongue. Missionary Butler's clos-ing
remark to the group was, "Be
well prepared to carry out a var-iety
of tasks on the foreign field
in an organized effort to spread
the gospel message."
Missionary Goldsmith presented
the need of Brazil in that only five
million people of the 64 million in
that country are in some contact
with the gospel message. A chal-lenge
to the Christian church was
stated by the fact that the heathen
population is growing faster than
people are being won to Jesus

Christ Searches for Sincere Heart Christ Is Our Life; We Can
Amid Christmas Hustle and Bustle Only Become Complete in Him Lawrence Ferlinghetti, a San Francisco beatnik, has penned
a very appropriate Christmas poem, a bit of which is paraphrased here:
Christ came down from His bare tree this year and went in search of
an untinsiled, unornamented, unliquored birthday party where a sin-cere
heart would welcome Him instead of the corruption of make-believe
Santas and bulging cash registers.
Here we are, barely half-way through November and already shop-ping
centers, supermarkets, and uptown business streets are cluttered
with brightly colored ornaments, Santa faces, wreaths, and pine
by Jim Nelson
It is a common statement in the formulation of
our creeds and prayers to express desire for fellow-ship
with God. Something that is so obvious to us
as Christians seems to be lacking in the Christian
experience of many when they begin to confess of
the deep inward void that opens their soul's to
every pain of circumstance. The strength of being
"in Christ" is not their experience but only a lit-erary
expression that Paul used. Their lives are not
held and filled by the Christ they profess to follow.
Why is it that we meet so few Christians who
seem to really know the person of Christ? Many of
us seem content to learn the right words about
Him, say nay in the right places and yea in the
right places, for then we have a good chance of
being labeled spiritual.
The desires of our heart are often controled by
the Christian-social context that is our environment.
In this we follow each other and conform to each
other, rather than see Christ lifted up over these
important but temporal factors of life.
In viewing our life in Christ, we must keep in
mind two factors. One, Christ is our life; and two,
our, life is only complete and fulfilled in Him. Two
phrases in Galatians 2:20 reveal the first of these
factors: "it is no longer I who live, but Christ who
lives in me." As a Christian, Christ lives my life,
I in Him and He in me. Christ is my mind, my will,
and my spirit, and I am a member of His body to
show forth His glory. Christ does not want to help
me. He wants to be my life in perfect fellowship
and union in Him, working His life and purpose
out in me.
The second factor finds its expression in Ephe-sians
4:13 where Paul describes the end of the work
of the ministry (lay and clerical together) as the
attainment "to mature manhood, to the measure of
the stature of the fullness of Christ." Christ is
true and perfect man. Only as we are in Him can
this "measure" be ours. Whatever Christ was or is
we are in Him, and our sense of being an authentic
and true man can only be realized in someone who
Oh, for the sense of true fellowship with God,
when through Christ God's Man takes you and me
as Christians up into Himself and we become every-thing
He is! We then become the very life of God,
and God does then not seem external to us. No
longer will we have to reach out for something
always beyond our grasp, for we will know that
Christ is our life and we are not external to Him
but in Him.
And for what reason ? To help men to prepare their hearts for the
sacred holiday which lies ahead ? To foster the warmth of brotherly
love and "good will to men ?" No! To hasten and quicken the jangle of
cash register bells and fatten the bankroll of the greedy businessman,
that's what the decorations are promoting.
Every year churchmen cry, "Put Christ back into Christmas," and
every year their cry is heeded less—while the businessman stuffs more
dollars into his pocket.
What should be done ? It would be more fittingly put, who wants
to do anything about it ? Do the preachers, the deacons, the ushers, the
Sunday school teachers want an uncommercialized Christmas ?
If they do, they have to do more than talk about putting Christ
back into Christmas, they have to remove the dollar sign which has
pushed Him out. Does the minister want to do this, do I, do you ?

Senate Concerned Over
Status of Student Gov't.
by Bruce Leafblad
Student Senate President
A deep concern of your senate president this year has been involved
in the present status of student government on our campus. The stu-dent
senate is fairly well-steeped in the tradition of restricting itself
to the supervision of the fringe issues of co-curricular activities, for
the most part. Of course, one cannot deny that such preoccupation may
be sufficiently exhausting for the members of such a body to keep them
from taking up other, possibly more serious matters. But is this to be
the extent of student government work ? This seems to me to be one
of the principal reasons for the comparatively low level of prestige
which our student government has had to tolerate. Is it any wonder
that it is so difficult to interest students in student government?
It is certain that in student government we will always be faced
with the chronic problem of gaining the respect and confidence of our
constituents, the student body, on which our successful functioning
must ultimately rest. The prestige of student government rests squarely
on the types of projects in which it engages itself and how its programs
are carried out. If we disregard the broader aspects of our possible
role in the life of the campus, we should not be disappointed if we are
accorded no more importance than the usual "activities." The senate
MUST GOVERN, i.e., promote student welfare, protect student inter-ests,
and meet student needs in a responsible and serious manner. Stu-dent
government in any other light becomes little more than a possibly
harmful waste of time. Bad student government merely bolsters the
thesis that college students are basically irresponsible children away
from home.
Why is not the student government of our campus involved in the
more meaningful and significant decision-making that is going on in
our school ? Perhaps one of the reasons is that our own student govern-ment
has not in the past been concerned to any significant extent in
such matters, as I have mentioned above. But this certainly does not
imply that student leaders of the past have not been capable of respon-sible
work in these areas. Beyond the lack on the part of traditional
government on our campus is the definite lack on various levels of
administration. Administrators have not persistently sought to employ
the industry, the fresh thinking, the direct concern, and genuine ambi-tion
of the students in the overall administration of the school.
For the purpose of illustration, turn with me for a moment to
the area of policy-making. In recent years student influence and par-ticipation
in this area of college administration has been steadily on
the increase in our nation's colleges and universities. This movement
has been closely tangent to a concern for democratic method and spirit
in higher education. In this context democratic method is centered more
on eliciting the best judgment possible from all groups in the institu-tion
with recognition that the good ideas and concern for the stan-dards
of the institution are shared by many individuals. Any scheme
of student participation in the committees of the school should also
contemplate a parallel participation by faculty and staff officers. The
school will then be served by appropriate contributions elicited from all
elements of the college campus.
We often hear our school referred to as the Bethel family or the
Bethel community, but these are hardly fair terms to use when we look
beneath the surface. Not until student participation in our college gov-ernment
is alive and vital are we justified in saying that our college
is a community, much less a family. Over the years our students have
heard a constant repetition of hopeful democratic phrases which have
created the illusion of free participation in a creative process, but we
have not realized the full satisfactions which come only through genuine

sharing of responsibility and of decision-making. The student is led to
believe that he is something of a free agent, participating in the deter-mination
of his educational progress; but a look beneath the surface
will show that his actions are, for the most part, determined by the
faculty and administration. If our changing world is going to continue
to make such great demands of college graduates, our colleges and
universities are going to have to put into practice the democracy about
which they speak so much. Former President H. N. MacCracken of
Vassar college had this to say: "If we want the worst kind of petty
tyranny and personal self-seeking in the federal government we shall
continue our present system of college administration which denies stu-dent
government all authority except over the most trivial aspects of
student life. If we want a truly liberal state we'll begin by granting
student government all the power it can enforce and maintain, by liv-ing
with it as an invaluable instrument of education, and by always liv-ing
up to it in absolute faith."
To conclude—the Bethel student government does not enjoy either
the prestige or the status which it deserves. I do not point the finger of
accusation at any one group of people in this case; the student body,
the student leaders, the faculty, and the administration are all to some
degree responsible for this. Likewise, each group will have to share
in the responsibility of making Bethel the true community which we
all wish it to be. Then, and only then, shall each enjoy his rightful
place, and student government will no longer need to tolerate a second-rate

Cross Country-New Endeavor
Deserves Serious Thought
perhaps the best of all sports for which the students had already
conditioning. Many basketball and paid.
wrestling coaches require it. A major problem for many ath-letic
programs at Bethel is where
can it be held or practiced for ?
Como Park golf course answered
our problem perfectly. The Mac-alester
team paid tribute to our
course as the finest they had run
on all fall.
The method of scoring the sport
is favorable to a college such as
Bethel. Had some of the proven
distance runners at Bethel been
willing to compete this fall, the
score could have been turned when
we faced Macalester and St. Olaf.
So great is the potential for this
sport at Bethel that the trite riv-alry
with Northwestern can be
traded for one against Macalester
or St. Olaf.
Often the complaint is heard
that athletics use only a select
few for participation. Let us use
this year's team in light of this
criticism. In every meet Bethel
uses eight men, the amount that
practices regularly. Of the eight,
seven were freshmen, of the seven
freshmen, three had never run be-fore
in competition.
Cost, a usual factor giving
problems to athletic teams, is not
a factor in this sport. Uniforms
are the same as for track. Travel
is the greatest cost, this year it
doesn't run over $20. for the com-plete
season. Food costs were re-funded

As a new endeavor in athletics
this year, the potential and de-velopment
of cross country teams
at Bethel in the future must be
given serious thought by students
and faculty.
Probably the greatest criticism
against this sport will be that it
is injurious to the athlete's heart
or lungs. However, each man who
participates goes through a phy-sical
exam and cannot compete
unless a doctor approves. We have
as yet to see or hear of a physi-cian
who kept his patient from the
sport for this reason. Neither have
we heard complaints from coaches
or participants, quite to the con-trary,

have three wins and no losses.
The Peasants and the Knights
are in second place with two wins
and one loss. "It looks as if there
will be some close, exciting com-petition
this year in the intra-mural
program," said Owen Hal-leen,

The intramural sports program
for men started Oct. 31, and will
start Nov. 29 for women. There
are eight men's teams that par-ticipate
every , Monday night at
7:00 in one of several sports. After
the volleyball tournament is fin-ished,
wrestling, basketball, ibad-minton,
handball, softball and
other sports will be played.
Women's intramurals will be
held Nov. 29, 7 p.m. in the gym.
A variety of activities will be
available including exercises, tram-poline,
singing and jump roping.
Mrs. Owen Halleen is the director
of the women's intramural pro-gram.

The Royals scored early in the
first quarter on a quarterback
sneak by Ken Baird. Making the
extra point, the Royals led 7-0.
Treating General Beadle like an
old rubber glove they bent the
defensive line at will.
The aerial game of the second

touchdown. Jon Kolbrek, receiving
a 41 yard pass put the team in
scoring position. On the third play,
a 20 yard pass, Don Peterson com-pleted
the 67 yard drive for a

twice late in the second quarter.
Tieing the game 13-13 at half
Jim Nelson scored the only
touchdown of the third quarter
and followed it with another in
the fourth. The fourth quarter
touchdown rally moved the ball
56 yards in four plays. Running
for the extra point Jim Nelson
had his foot in the end zone but
was unable to get the ball into
paying territory.
Capitalizing on a Bethel fumble
as Ken Baird went around left end,
General Beadle scored on a 55
yard run. Seconds later the Tro-jans
ran back a kick to Bethel's

scored. A run around right end
was good for the extra point.
A final drive by the Royals mov-ed
the pigskin to within seven

"You're the Jong that I want?"
Unfortunately, probably not.
British tabloid The Sun unearthed photos it said were North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a teenager at a Swiss boarding school, performing in a student production of "Grease."
But sadly, the photos are almost certainly not Kim, or at least not the one currently making threats of nuclear annihilation at the United States from his perch at the head of North Korea's ruling party.
As the Washington Post points out, Kim attended school in Switzerland between 1998 and 2000, when he would have been 15 to 17 years old. The photos are from 1994 and 1997, before he was in Switzerland. Additionally, the photos are from the International School of Berne, while Kim attended the nearby Libefeld-Steinhölzli Schule.
Unlike Kim Jong Un, the dictator's older brother Kim Jong Chol did attend the International School of Berne, and he was there around the time the photos were taken.
The photos could very likely be of Kim Jong Chol, grooving with his sunglasses and leather T-Birds jacket.
Before their father's death, the Kim Jong Un and Kim Jong Chol lived abroad under the false names Pak-un and Pak-chol, stylized in a South Korean, rather than North Korean, fashion and the brothers were often confused for one another.

FIVB President expecting development to continue at U23 World Champs
The inaugural tournament also took place in the southern Polish town, where Germany's Victoria Bieneck and Isabel Schneider won women's gold and local favourites Piotr Kantor and Bartosz Losiak completed their set of age-group gold medals in the men's.
The tournament also featured a number of teams from developing beach volleyball nations such as Kenya, Rwanda and Saint Lucia.
"The FIVB Beach Volleyball U23 World Championships were introduced to last year's beach volleyball calendar in recognition of the need to sustain and develop the sporting success of young athletes," FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Graça F° said.
"The U23 World Championships are the highest possible level of international play available in this age group and are an important bridging event to help athletes make a successful transition between junior and senior elite competition.
"The competition reinforces the FIVB's commitment to developing the careers and skills of beach volleyball players around the world by offering more opportunities for international play and it is not just the athletes who benefit as coaches, referees and tournament officials also have the opportunity to hone their skills through this channel."
Poland is no stranger to hosting beach volleyball competitions and Myslowice has long been a popular venue for players and coaches alike.
Athletes are put at the forefront of the tournament to ensure that they can perform to their highest levels on the court and develop their skills to the best of their abilities.
"As with the other three age group competitions on the beach volleyball calendar this year, the U23 World Championship will also be a test event for the 'block' and 'first hit' rule," Dr. Graça continued.
"These tests will no doubt push the skills and abilities of the players, many of who also play on the World Tour, to their limit. But I know that they have the tools to meet the challenge and exceed expectations.
"It is exciting to consider all of the talent on display at these championships and as the best young players in this age-category come together, I know that we will see some spectacular displays of strength, agility and playing tactics.
"The bar has been set high and there is no greater pleasure than seeing these up-and-coming players come into their own."

Here is an interesting take on the idea behind sites like Google Earthing. This one is called PlaceSpotting. It shows you a zoomed in map via Google Maps and you have to figure out where it is. A few cool things they've done, though:
- You solve it by adjusting a world map (zooming, panning, etc) until it matches the clue, not just leaving a comment with your answer
- You're given up to four clues for each one.
- You're told the zoom level you need to be at. To solve it, you only need to get the lat/lon "close".
- Best of all, you can create your own!
I know there are a lot of different games out there for the various digital earth products, but I couldn't begin to summarize them all. Instead, leave us a comment to show off some your favorites!

DETROIT – Ford plans to get rid of the traditional Fusion sedan in favor of a longer, taller and more brawny version.
The new design, which has no scheduled release date, is intended to capture buyers who drive the Subaru Outback wagon and maybe even the BMW 5 Series hatchback, a luxury model.
"While current Ford Fusion production ends in a few years, we'll likely continue to use the name because of its awareness, positive imagery and value with consumers," said spokesman Mike Levine. "However, it's too soon to speculate on what that new vehicle may look like."
Previously, Ford has talked about creating a new, more SUV-like version of its Focus but hasn't talked about Fusion other than to say it is one of the nameplates it would be retiring.
"All car sales are down," Levine said. "We're going where the consumer wants to go. They want vehicles with more ride height, more interior space, more versatility. Customers love the Fusion, but look at how vehicles are evolving. We're pivoting to new silhouettes."
No question, the Ford Fusion has a loyal following.
"It's been a good reliable car, a good seller for us over the last 10 years or so," said Joe Wood, new car sales manager at Northgate Ford in Port Huron, Mich. "The fact that Ford is decreasing the number of cars alarms people who are loyal Fusion buyers. Keeping the name, a solid name brand, would be a smart idea."
Industry analysts are watching Ford and its Focus redesign with interest.
"Ford is looking to spoil Subaru's impressive sales growth with a 'lifted wagon,'" said Dave Sullivan, manager of product analysis at AutoPacific. "This type of car is really the anti-SUV. It looks to have all of the functionality and utility of a crossover without the stigma of hauling kids or groceries.."
The plan to move out of cars into trucks and SUVs is a consistent message emphasized and re-emphasized by Ford.
Yet some industry observers question the strategy of moving away from the Fusion sedan to a bigger silhouette.
"There's not a lot of sales volume in the sport wagon," said Eric Noble, a product development consultant and professor of vehicle technology at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. "When Ford announced it was dropping the Fusion, three or four other mid-sized carmakers danced. ."
He questioned whether Ford CEO Jim Hackett is exercising questionable judgment while bowing to pressure from investors upset about underwhelming stock performance; the dramatic announcement to eliminate the Fusion sedan move and some other cars to the more lucrative SUVs and trucks isn't a short-sighted strategy.
Apart from the iconic Mustang, all Ford cars are on the chopping block.
"Why change a winning recipe like the Ford Fusion sedan? This makes no sense," Noble said. "The car is made in Mexico. If Ford can't make a profit off the Fusion, there's a bigger problem."
In 2017, consumers purchased 209,623 Fusions and 188,886 Outbacks, according to manufacturer sales data. In 2018, Fusion sold 86,978 vehicles while Outback sold 90,978 vehicles.
Fusion sales have continuously declined over the past few years while Subaru has gained sales overall.
Levine said no time frame has been established for the Fusion redesign or its reveal.

Over the years BZPower has built up a strong relationship with LEGO. This does not mean BZPower is a 'corporate mouthpiece,' or that we only say good things about them and never anything bad. It does mean, however, that we choose to respect their wishes and cooperate with them when it comes to leaked content.
People are often eager to see what is coming out next from LEGO, and that's perfectly understandable. Sometimes though, either through an internal mistake or through the work of unscrupulous individuals, information about or images of sets make their way onto the Internet before LEGO was ready to share them.
As a fan of LEGO, you may see this as a good thing. From the perspective of LEGO, there are several reasons this is a bad thing. The below list is by no means comprehensive:
- The sets may be prototypes or otherwise unfinalized, causing people to reach conclusions and make buying decisions before they see the final set.
- Competitors can gain access to this information and use it to better compete with LEGO through various means.
