Hats off to the City of Etherville for its city wide clean up held the first week of June. My wife, Sharon and I along with residents across the town took advantage of this opportunity.
It gave all of us a chance to clean up our homes and yards. It was simply amazing the piles of household and yard items placed near the curb in every neighborhood.
Thanks also to the city workers who spent countless hours hauling these items away.

Thanks to today's 24/7 information flow shoppers are leveraging technology to plot their own tactics for finding the best deals, avoid shopping at peak busy times, and jettison their customer experiences into something that is overall faster, more economic, and just better.
To accomplish this, the majority of consumers now mix the online and in-store experience to shape their shopping experience. For instance, consumers looking for the latest version of their favorite tech gadget or concert tickets no longer have to wait for the supplier to reorder the product. They can turn to e-commerce sources to fulfill their order, and vice-versa. This type of shopper, a phy-gital shopper, can access digital information from a smartphone or tablet while standing in their brick-and-mortar store.
For retailers in pursuit of their customers, technology is the pace setter, and the technologies that make this possible, such as mobile devices, analytics, and cloud apps, add a new dimension to the old adage of supply-meets-demand: Demand now discovers supply.
Consumers who are more than comfortable leveraging technology to optimize their shopping experience continuously challenge retailers to meet their specific expectations. To better understand the sophistication shoppers look for in a retailer, Mindtree conducted a global survey with 4,000 respondents to decode this new age shopper and understand their preferred features online and in-store. The findings revealed key themes and invaluable statistics for retailers looking to decode their customers' expectations.
Anil Venkat, marketing head, retail, CPG and manufacturing vertical at Mindtree, has more than a decade of experience working in marketing for B2B companies. At Mindtree, his focus on retail, CPG and manufacturing has incubated integrated sales campaigns. He has been a marketing leader with Infosys in the past, apart from being a supply chain consultant.

Ian Kerner, Ph. D. With helpful euphemisms about car mechanics and playful intellectual references
With helpful euphemisms about car mechanics and playful intellectual references to Aristotle, this guide to cunnilingus for men gives advice and suggestions for "keeping your head" while giving a woman head. In this beginner's manual, illustrations show the female pleasure system while Kerner instructs men to slow down and concentrate on understanding how to perform cunnilingus with a variety of positions and clitoral stimulation techniques. Heterosexual focus.

This book should be a must read for anyone who will ever go down on a woman. It should also be read by anyone with a vagina as it will help you to understand what is going on (and maybe teach your partner a thing or two if they don't want to read it). This book is amazing and changed my relationship (after 7 years) for the better.
I'm female--I bought this book as a gift for a guy friend, and read it myself before gifting it to make sure that I agreed with it. It is fantastic! Like many other women who've grown up feeling body self-conscious and caretaker-ish, I sometimes have a hard time reaching orgasm from cunnilingus--even though it feels much more intense than regular sex--because it's too much focus on just ME. I can get too self-conscious, distracted by thoughts like "Is he enjoying this?" "Do I smell/taste okay?" and "I'm taking too long to orgasm--surely he's getting tired and bored..." The second I start thinking like that--POOF!--I'm back to square one with arousal.
Dr. Kerner understands all of these mental booby traps; his book explains them well and clearly instructs men how to overcome them. I am not a cunnilingus instruction book expert, and there are lots of such books out there, but I was very pleased that this guide specifically addressed the mental blocks that most men don't understand (and can be easily frustrated by). It's well written, and the step-by-step instructions are clear (turned me on just reading through them!). Also there are helpful illustrations.
Note: To make a woman orgasm this way, you don't have to follow every step exactly--it's not a mathematical equation! The build-up, finger penetration, and your own loving attitude, however, are vital elements. Also, you don't have to be in love with your partner to be a "pussy master," but you do need to love, wholeheartedly, her pussy. :)

Even before the consoles that we will soon, grudgingly have to start referring to as "current-gen" consoles were released in November 2013, last year was a very good year for games. Grand Theft Auto 5 earned so much money in just three days that if the game were somehow able to declare itself a country, it would have a higher Gross Domestic Product than nearly 25 countries. Call of Duty: Ghosts shipped over a $1 billion in product in 24 hours. Indie games from small developers continued to explode, free-to-play is still on its upward march (the top free-to-play game earned nearly $1 billion in 2013), and Steam hit record numbers. Life was good for gamers.
But 2013 is dead to us now, we looked back and it turned to salt. With that in mind, we cast our eyes to 2014 and some of the biggest games coming our way.
The games on this list are by no means the games we think will be the best of the year. It's far too early to even guess at something like that – we actually ended up awarding our Best Game of the Year to smaller titles the last two years, and both of which started out under the radar (Walking Dead and Gone Home). Instead, this list is propagated by the titles people will be talking about the most through the year.
We will come back to this list frequently and update it as new games are announced, release dates change, and more. You might notice omissions like Halo on the Xbox One and the next Assassin's Creed. That's simply because neither is confirmed for 2014. If and when they are, we'll update the post. And if there is a game we missed, let us know in the comments and we'll check it out.
To the games!
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
February 11, 2014
Square Enix tri-Ace/ Square Enix
One of the first major releases of the year ignores the shiny new consoles altogether in favor of the current-gen systems. The third game in the Final Fantasy XIII series brings back the character of Lightning to end the FFXIII storyline once and for all. We hope.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
(PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
February 25, 2014
Mercury Steam/ Konami
If you haven't played the first Lords of Shadow and intend to, you should get on that ASAP. The sequel picks up immediately after the twist at the end of the original. Stop reading at this point if you are among that rare group – you've been warned. In the sequel, you are Dracula and you fight Satan. What more do you need to know?
(PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One)
February 26, 2014
Eidos Monteral/Square Enix
One of the first next-gen releases of the year, and arguably the first major one of the year, Thief revitalizes the long-running franchise by being more thief-iery than ever. The game will be on current-gen systems as well, but the PC and next-gen versions are what have us drooling.
South Park: Stick of Truth
March 4, 2014
Obsidian Entertainment/Ubisoft
Even though this year will feature the release of several games that will help to define the next-gen systems, the current-gen systems aren't going to be neglected just yet. For evidence, look no further than the RPG based on South Park, which is written by series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z
March 4, 2014
Team Ninja, Spark Unlimited, Commcept/Tecom Koei
At some point in this list we will talk more about the next-gen titles on the way, we promise, but it's tough to overlook a new Ninja Gaiden game. Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z will play like the last few Ninja Gaiden games, but it's a spin-off starring a ninja seeking vengeance against series star, Ryu Hayabusa. Twist!
Dark Souls II
March 11, 2014
From Software/ Namco Bandai (From Software in Japan)
For those looking for a blend of agony and ecstasy in their gaming, From Software has you covered with the sequel to one of the more unique – and frequently frustrating – games of 2011. The plot is that you are a guy that dies and dies and dies, then occasionally pulls off something utterly incredibly … before dying. Those with the patience and drive to dig deeper will be left with an incredible game and plenty of bragging rights.
March 11, 2014
Respawn Entertainment/Electronic Arts
This online-only multiplayer game from a huge chunk of the team that originally created Call of Duty has a spot on almost every "most anticipated" list around. And for good reasons. PS4 owners, prepare to hear a lot about this game.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
(PS4, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One)
March 18, 2014
Kojima Productions/Konami
Although we don't yet have a release date for Metal Gear Solid V, we won't be completely Metal Gear-less in 2014 thanks to Ground Zeroes. Think of it as a prologue to MGSV. A very, very big prologue with an open-world feel. Whatever it is, more Solid Snake (or Big Boss as the case may be), is always a good thing.
Infamous: Second Son
March 21, 2014
Sucker Punch Productions/Sony
PS4 owners will be glad to know that Sony seems to be continuing to push for console exclusives, and the Infamous series will be among the first up following the launch. Like the last two games in the series, you play a superhero … or a supervillain depending on your approach. The last games were impressive in their scope, and the next-gen version should simply increase that.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
March 25, 2014
One of the biggest PC games in the last few years is back with an entirely new act in the campaign, and a host of other additions via the Reaper of Souls DLC. If you own the PC version of Diablo 3, there isn't really much more to say, except "shut up and take my money, Blizzard!"
The Elder Scrolls Online
April 4, 2014 (PC); June 2014 (PS4, Xbox One)
ZeniMax Online Studios/Bethesda Softworks
The Elder Scrolls series heads online with an MMORPG set in the same world as Skyrim and the previous Elder Scrolls games. Instead of losing countless hours wandering around an incredibly addictive game world alone, you can now lose countless hours wandering around an incredibly addictive game world with other people!
(PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One)
September 9, 2014
When people talk about upcoming next-gen titles, Destiny is almost always one of the most anticipated. Part of that is thanks to the timing – the game was announced before even the next-gen consoles were revealed – while part of that is because it looks freaking awesome. Plus it's a new IP from the makers of Halo. If you're not interested, you're doing life as a gamer wrong.

The Bethlehem teen who allegedly killed an Arbor Hill man in a hit-and-run Saturday was being chased by a trooper for speeding on Interstate 90 just before the collision and had been issued three speeding tickets and involved in two accidents in the past year, according to State Police and the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Bethlehem police also confirmed that shortly after the accident around 7:30 p.m., the teen drove to their station by himself. A department spokesman, however, would not say what happened once the man arrived.
Authorities have not yet publicly identified the driver, but the young man's father confirmed to the Times Union that he is Ian Eckardt-Rigberg, 19, of Bethlehem.
In a brief statement, State Police said the vehicle involved in the collision was spotted speeding east on I-90 at 75 mph in a 55 mph zone "just prior to the incident."
A trooper chased the car until he spotted it leaving the highway at Exit 6, deeming it too far ahead to safely pursue, State Police said.
Moments later, according to city police, Eckardt-Rigberg's car struck 53-year-old Rozell Whitehead as the man crossed Henry Johnson Boulevard, then fled the scene as Whitehead lay mortally wounded in the road.
In December, Eckart-Rigberg driver's license was revoked after he was issued three speeding tickets in a six-month span, according to Nick Cantiello, a DMV spokesman.
Eckart-Rigberg was ticketed twice for driving 60 mph in 55 mph zones, in Albany and Guilderland, and for going 41 mph in a 30 mph zone in Albany as well, Cantiello said.
In 2011, Eckart-Rigberg was involved in two property damage accidents, in November in Albany County and February in Rensselaer County, Cantiello said. Eckart-Rigberg was also involved in an accident in Franklin County in 2010.
Eckart-Rigberg's restricted license permitted him to drive only to and from work, school or medical appointments. Eckart-Rigberg's father said his son had recently dropped out of school and had started delivering papers for the Times Union. It's unclear where Eckart-Rigberg was driving to Saturday night when troopers began chasing him.
As of Monday afternoon, police had not pressed charges in the case. Officer James Miller said that whoever was driving the vehicle that killed Whitehead would, at the very least, likely be charged with leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, a felony in a case where the victim dies.
Miller said police have discussed the case with the district attorney's office and criminal and accident investigations are ongoing.

How to get involved
You are considering to join the Debian Perl Group or were just added to the group on Alioth? Then our Welcome page (english, español) should help you with your decision and your first steps.
Here's the short version for those only interested in the technical details:
A good way to get involved is to introduce yourself on the mailing list. A simple email about yourself saying what your goals are, how you might like to contribute, and what you would like to get from the group is the standard introduction protocol. It does not have to be formal of course. Here is a recent example: example introduction email
Technically speaking you need to register an account at alioth.debian.org and include your alioth username in the introductory mail to <debian-perl AT lists DOT debian DOT org>; one of the project admins will add you to the group.
After that it is simply a matter of finding modules or packages that you use or are interested in. Follow the guide for git (link above) and you are off and running!
Debian developers can join easily. Simply drop your Perl module package (see the Git guide) and mail a note to the group. All Debian developers already have commit access. Remember to check out the sources back to avoid a fork
Dump your lib*-perl package here
If you don't have time even for this, just send a signed mail to email@example.com and list the packages you want us to take over.

The New Kindle Scam : The High Cost of Paperless?
When Kindles (and all the other e-reader marketplaces) came into the world one of the big selling points was that books would now be cheaper! And how could they not be cheaper, there was no physical book to manufacture or ship! All the various e-reader marketplaces do showcase many lower priced books, but more and more I'm seeing the Kindle version of books priced much higher than the physical books (BOTH hardcover and paperback)!
Take this recent example, the paperless Kindle version of "The Art of Innovation" is 13% more expensive than the hardcover and 70% more than the paperback!
The original logic of "it costs less to publish an ebook so we'll charge less and the consumer will then buy more e-books" has now given way to "let's charge the consumer more for the convenience of an e-book, bank the extra profit, and who cares if they buy more e-books". I'm not saying publishers can't do what they like, shouldn't do what they like, I'm just a little tired of being white lied to. If the ultimate goal is to screw us into paying more for books, don't butter us up and suggest the future will be the complete opposite.

A hundred and one years ago, when the first Frankenstein film came to Bemidji, Minnesota, the Majestic Theatre advertised it as "A Physicalogical Phantasy". What that means is anybody's guess.
The Majestic Theater, inaugurated in December 1909, was one of a new wave of movie houses that would replace the fast-fading storefront Nickelodeons. The local paper reported that, "Mr. Currie", then manager, "has the very best movie-making machine that Edison has ever devised, and with his personal knowledge of every intricate movement of the machine, the results are indeed splendid."
The Frankenstein ad appeared on May 6, 1910, in the Daily Pioneer. On the same page, the Social and Personal column, a random collection of gossip, community news and product placement, ran a plug for the film as "one of the interesting and fascinating pictures ever thrown upon the screen. See it tonight…"
The evening's entertainment kicked off with a fancy Overture featuring Miss Hazel Fellows. A song, no doubt, accompanied by the pianist who would play through the evening, providing music for the films. Miss Fellows, a frequent performer at the Majestic, was probably local talent. By the following year, she'd changed her first name to Hazelle, which certainly sounded more artistique. I'd like to think that Miss Fellows provided some novelty, playing a banjo or the ukulele, maybe working in a few dance steps.
The Edison Kinetograph's Frankenstein was up next. Shot on a Brooklyn rooftop just four months prior, the film went into circulation on May 18. Its stars, Charles Ogle, Augustus Phillips and Mary Fuller were Kinetograph regulars, miss Fuller on her way to silent-era stardom. The film has miraculously survived for us to judge, but what a thrill it must have been to see it when it was new, and pristine.
Next came an "illustrated song", in which a popular song was either performed live or a recording played while a dozen or so glass slides were projected, "illustrating" the lyrics. The elaborately posed photographs, lavishly hand colored, bankrolled by sheet music vendors, were the music videos of the times. A vastly popular form of entertainment, some Nickelodeons played nothing but illustrated songs, with vaudeville performers and future film stars such as Fanny Brice, Eddie Cantor and Fatty Arbuckle appearing as models. Audiences would often demand repeat viewings. Sing-alongs were encouraged.
"I'm Going to Do What I Please", written by music publisher Ted Snyder and lyricist Alfred Bryan was one of the most popular songs of its day. Snyder, a future songwriting Hall of Famer, also wrote The Sheik of Araby and Who's Sorry Now?, and famously gave Irving Berlin his first break.
Rounding up the evening's entertainment, "Another Of Those Thrilling Wild West Stories", was The Girl and the Fugitive, starring Gilbert Anderson, the original Bronco Bill, the movie's first cowboy star. Anderson had appeared, playing three different roles, in Edwin S. Porter's seminal The Great Train Robbery (1903). He went on to write, direct, produce and star in his own movies. In 1907, he co-founded the famous Essanay Studios where he made some 300 short films, half of them westerns. The Girl and the Fugitive, released on March 9, 1910, was just one of the 44 Bronco Bill films made that year.
All told, the Majestic's complete program ran about an hour. Not bad for ten cents. Children paid a nickel. I wonder if any kids were upset by Ogle's scarecrow-like Frankenstein Monster.
And I wonder if anyone ever made out what a Physicalogical Phantasy was.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – The No. 8-seed Georgia College women's soccer team (5-14) was edged by the No. 1-seed Armstrong Pirates (13-2-3) 1-0 Tuesday in the opening round of the 2011 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Tournament.
Armstrong's leading scorer, Kristina Pascutti made good on a breakaway opportunity with 16:19 left in the second half for the game's only strike.
The Bobcats went toe-to-toe with the PBC Regular-Season Champions in the first half, and despite being out-shot 15-1, reached the halftime horn tied 0-0. Armstrong nearly netted a goal with less than a minute remaining, but a big team save helped keep the game scoreless.
GC had some solid offensive play early in the second half, getting multiple shots off and controlling field position, but weren't able to get the lead.
For the score, Pascutti took a loose ball that wasn't cleared strongly enough, and cut through the middle of the defense. Bobcat goalkeeper Taylor Cornelius (Dacula, Ga.) needed to make a move, and Pascutti deftly evaded her to the left side and tapped in the game-winner.
Cornelius nabbed a career-high 14 saves in the game, while Meghan Mayville had four stops in the shutout.
The loss brings the 2011 season to a close for Georgia College, a young squad that battled in every contest, with 11 of the team's 14 losses coming by one goal each.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Spring-at last!!
Read'ers write about' women - p. 2
Reader contends women
are not of Ilesser s'tandingl
Dear Editor:
In response to the Symposium III in last Friday's Clarion
I submit the following response.
I want to thank Alvera Mickelsen for her concise and
articulate exposition on the "role" of women in the evangelical
community. It expressed clear and logical thinking.
However, I have no praise whatsoever for the illogical,
chauvinistic exposition of Dr. Willard F. Harley.
His "very tentative conclusions" (which appears to be a
negation, possibly indicating unstable analysis) were degrading
and infuriating to my sense of womanhood and my
idea of worth in the eyes of God. Whereas Mrs. Mickelsen
took the Old Testament and New Testament teachings of the
woman's "role" in unbiased, perceptive context, Dr. Harley
examined a select few New Testament verses, taking them
out of context and ignoring their original intent. The four
passages he selected were, by no means, representational
of the total Biblical view of the dilemma, as Dr. Harley suggested.
In the process of formulating a personal viewpoint from
his Biblical references, he makes some totally irrational
statements. Indirectly, Dr. Harley went so far as to suggest
that women should call their husbands "lord."
His most fallacious arguments (which were · certainly
hard to distinguish) stemmed from his interpretation of I
Timothy 2 :12 where Paul writes that women are not to "teach
or have: authority over men." He thereupon delves into a
rhetorical tangent, from his literal and contemporary interpretation
of this verse, ignoring the diverse facets of the
author and his original intentions for his words.
Dr. Harley, a man of much intellectual training, then
makes a horrifying, blanket generalization: that women hold
positions of authority in the evangelical community, "not
because the women wanted it that way" but because of the
males' lack of response. I would like to know how many
women Dr. Harley asked! Alvera Mickelsen cited several

Dr. Piper answers last
week/s Clario-n Symposium
Dear Editor:
In last week's Symposium ill on the role of women in
the church, Mrs. Mickelson and Dr. Harley came to contradictory
conclusions. Mickelson: "Women'S responsibilities
to the church and to the Gospel are the same as those of
men." Harley: "God has chosen to give women a different
responsibility from men." Dr. Harley admitted that his position
has "serious problems," "loose ends" and is "tentative."
Mrs. Mickelson admitted none of these things, but
instead concluded by warning that people like Harley "must
answer to God." As dispassionately as I can I want to try
to show that Mrs. Mickelson's positon has "serious problems"
and "loose ends" and at best ought to be tentative.
There are two problems in her presentation: 1) the neglecting
of Paul's teaching; 2) the peculiar use of the gospel
1) In the March 1975 issue of the Journal of Biblical
Literature, William O. Walker concludes that "I Corinthians
11 :2-16 is an interpolation" and "the authenticity of I Timothy

Piper questions Mickelson's stand on women's role
continued from page two
2:8~15; Titus 2:3-5; Ephesisllls 5:22-33; C~lossians 3:18-19;
and I Corinthians 14 : 33b-36 is similarly rejected on critical
grounds" (p. 109). In other words Paul didn't write anything
at all about the subordination of women. In order to avoid
the teaching of these passages, contemporary critical scholars
simply observe that they were written by someone else
. who didn't understand Paul.
Evangelicals have a higher view of Scripture than that.
But we can just as effectively silence these passages on the
subordination of women. In Mrs. Mickelson's article Paul
did not get a fair shake. Because of this she did not have
to admit problems and loose ends - the problem passages
were simply neglected.
'This is not accidental, but follows directly from her
hermeneutical approach. We don't have to worry about what,
Paul said on the matter of women's role, because Paul
"would not lay down principles that were contrary to the
teaching or the life of the Christ whom he loved and
served," and we know what Jesus thought. In other words,
if we know what the role of women is in the church from
what Jesus said and did, then everything Paul said about
it must conform to this. In my opinion this is bad hermeneutics
(even though the canon-within-a-canon approach
has a long history and esteemed coptemporary advocates,
e.g. W.G. Kummel, The Theology of the New Testament
p. 324). It is the P 'auline context, not the life of Jesus,
which must determine whether Paul's injunctions are merely
"specific instructions for local situations."
2) But do we even know what Jesus thought about the
role of women in the church? Mrs. Mickelson can cite no
pertinent teachings of Jesus (nor can 1). Instead she cites
five texts in which Jesus' actions supposedly reveal his
thought. But I do not see how any of these conflict witli
Paul's teaching that wives' should be subject to their husbands
and that in the church, women should not teach or
have authority over men (I Timothy 2:12).
She cites Luke 10 :38-42 where Jesus commends Mary for
April/29th 10 MOly 1st
"sitting at his feet and listening to , his feaching," and
John 11: 25 where Jesus tells Martha that he is the resurrection
and the life. How is that any different than Paul's
desire for women to be taught? Paul never denied that
women were "capable of theological understanding."
She cites Luke 11:27,28 where Jesus said that ultimate
blessedness hangs not on the capacity to bear children but
hangs on obedience to God. Paul said in essence the same
thing in I Corinthians 7 :25: devotion to the Lord is crucial,
not marriage.
Then she cites John 4:39 where tne Samaritan woman
carries the message of her experience with Jesus back to
her town. This shows that a woman is, of course, capable
of telling others what has happened to her, which in no
way conflicts with Paul's teaching about submission. Witnessing
requires no e:xiercise of authority.
Finally, Mrs. Mickelson cites Matthew 28:5 where, she
points out that, "Jesus himself appeared first to a woman
and told her to tell the news to his disciples." From this
instance and those above Mrs. Mickelson' concludes that the
capabilities and hence the responsibilities of men and women
are the same with regard to the church and the gospel.
. It is, in my opinion, wrong to search for an implicit
dogma in ambiguous narratives not intended to teach such a
dogma, and then to lift that dogma to the level of a canon
by which explicit apostolic teaching is judged to be unauthoritative.
But if one chooses to use this kind of hermeneutic,
then one must surely find immense significance in
the fact that the twelve apostles whom Jesus chose and
to whom he "gave authority" (Matthew 10 :1) included no
I hope it is evident from this that Mrs. Mickelson's
attempt also has "serious problems" and "loose ends."
So let us press on together now to a fully Biblical position,
knowing that we all "must answer to God."

.l_ _li_ fe_t_ O _ge_t_h_er __l
by Mark Johnson
"A revolutionary age is an age of action; ours is the
age of advertisement and publicity."
These are the words of Soren Kierkegaard written in
The Present Age, over one hundred and twenty years ago.
In S.K.'s weighty accusation to his age he clearly desired
to alert the reader and writer of their presently acquired
roles. Today, I ask the question: Are we an age of revolution,
ie. action, or do we find ourselves caught in a world
of endless words and little real communication?
On an individual basis it is easy to become cynical,
verbose, and sometimes obnoxious, but how difficult it is to
take a stand in a constructive, articulate and well-defined
way that will edify others around us. This problem goes
much deeper than a speech, an article, or any other form
of communication. I contend that it is our form of existence,
our way of life everyday that is to be questioned.
Kierkegaard addressed himself to those who were living
a superficial, shallow form of existence - living in an aes-
. thetic mode. With great detail he dealt with the question of
"becoming an individual." In an indirect fashion he addressed
himself to the reduction of thought into words without depth,
and the reduction of life into this form of superficial existence.
Why do I ' bring this up? There is a tendency in a community
to either equate a form of communication with action
or allow our communication to become our action. I firmly.
believe that if we want this to be an age of action, we
can; but if we want to sit back and allow just the form
of communication to be our action, we will become an age
of "advertisement and publicity."
When one stops to think that out of a Student Association
budget of $33,000 over two-thirds is spent in the process
of communication (Clarion, KABY, Spire), one must stop
and contemplate what that means. Either we have a lot
to say or we are saying the same things in many different
Being actively involved in the communIty demands one's
whole being. If we are living a semi-ethical and religious
and semi-aesthetic existence we will be .. informed by media
alone. I suggest we involve ourselves in the inner workings
.of the community (whatever area that may be) with our whole
existence and then we will benefit from both activity and
communica tion.

Some studants canit spel
. meny don't write good
by Bill Trollinger and Mark Troxel
A problem which has reached epidemic proportions in
our schools is writing deficiency. Students ' are becoming
inept in their use of the written language. This is reflected
in the nationwide decline of verbal SAT scores. In a Noveml?
er issue of Time Jesse Hartley, director of freshman
English at the University of Houston lamented that students
today, "can't carry through an idea in writing; they have
no idea what a paragraph is; they are unable to string
details together in a logical sequence."
After-much study and deliberation we would like to report
that this problem has in no way affected Bethel. That is
what we would like to report. However, this hallowed sanc:
tum of educational bliss is in no way immune to this disease.
Dr. Phil Carlson, chairman of the student academics committee
comments, "The faculty, and this committee, admit
, that this (writing deficiency) is a serious problem at Bethel
The writing deficiency problem divides into two components.
The first component is mechanical problems. Quoting
Dr. Carlson again, "Students are having numerous problems
with thesis sentences, paragraph structure, and basic mechanics
of grammar." And yet, as acknowledged by Dr. Carlson,
the problem is not merely one of mechanics. Gerald
Healy, English department chairman, says, "We receive numerous
papers that are mechanically correct, but are illogical
in word usage, and composition structure." In discussing
writing deficiency, one must realize that it is not necessarily
just a problem of mechanical understanding, but may be a
problem with . the' logical usage of the written language.
At the present time, how does Bethel deal with the
problem of writing deficiency? Theoretically, if a teacher
notes a serious writing problem in a particular student, the
student is referred by the teacher to Mrs. Bohne, parttime
writing coordinator. But this system has failed to
solve the pressing problems. "The faculty has been inconsistent
ill referring students to Mrs. Bohne, and thus the
students themselves to be tutored," commented Dr. Carlson.
Also, 'staff limitations lend to the failure of the present
Bethel system to succeed. "We need something much more
comprenensive than what I can ,do on a part-time basis
to meet the crying needs of students who haven't learned
to write yet," explained Mrs. Bohne. And, of course, that
omnipresent nemesis to Bethel policy making, lack of money,
writing, continued on page eight

"The cross is not merely a sign of our atonement/'
Jim Wallis said in his April 8, Pi Gamma Mu lecture,
"Biblically it is the pattern for our lives here and now."
Besides this lecture, Wallis, student-activist turned editor
- (of The Post American) was also featured as Bethel Convocation
speaker. During his busy three days on the Bethel
campus, he also made various classroom appearances at
both the College and the Seminary.
In his Pi Gamma Mu lecture, portions of which are
part of a soon-to-be published book, Wallis challenged Christians
to live up to the call of their faith.
"The proof of Jesus' Messiahship was in his ministry to
the suffering and afflicted," Wallis said. "We will be judged
by our treatment of others."
One of the reasons that Christians aren't respondi~g'
to the needs of others, he maintained, is that they take a
wrong view of the Word of God.
"We have suppressed the Bible, we have dismissed it
as apolitical," he criticized,- pointing out that such a view
has led to an attitude of neutrality in most churches. "In
the Biblical view, neutrality .. . is irresponsible. To be neutral,
one must deny OJ' ignore the witness of Scripture.
Our neutrality contributes to the support of the situation
that had to be overcome by the death and suffering of
Jesus Christ."
Wallis told his audience of about 75 students and faculty
that there are three concepts in which . the Christian must
have a correct, Biblically-based view if he is to be effective;
these concepts include the Fall, Idolatry, and Revolution.
"A recognition of the Fall is pre-requisite to the handling
of Biblical politics," he said, maintaining that Christians must
become aware that sin expresses itself in corporate ways
as well as individually. "The churches' view of individual
corruption often glosses over the Fall's effect on institutions.
"Idolatry," defined Wallis, "is trust placed in something
other than God . . . The fulfillment of one's self is seen
as dependent on the propitiation of institutions, for example."
Wallis, a self-confessed Marxist activist before he became
a Christian in the late '60s, also'-Offered his insights on the
concept of Revolution.
"Christians should accept revolution as the wrath of God
on the morally insensitive," he said, adding that he is amazed
that "most Christians don't align themselves with at least
the ideals of revolutionary groups.

"We should be advocates on behalf of human life,'"
he said. Violence, often an integral part of revolution, i~
to be avoided, though. The group that comes to power by the
use of violence will resort to those same tactics itself 'when
it is threatened. "The problem with revolution is not that
it is too radical, but that it is not radical enough ...
Jesus countered the zealot option with reconciliation, servanthood,
and the cross."
Wallis summed up his lecture with his thoughts on, the
local church. "The renewal of the local church is central
to everything we're doing," he emphasized. "There is a need
for a distinct community, a whole new order, a New Peoplehood,
who will constantly confront the world with models
of life and hope."
Dry up or get wet,
the choice is yours
by Bruce Larson
During the spring of 1973 I happened to make one of
my many excursions into the Bethel LRC. But this time I
could scarcely contain myself from breaking out in' a vehement
coughing spell. The atmosphere in that place was
so dry that my' entire being began to retch. At this point,
I wondered if this was all there is to a college education.
My throat had become so dry that I began to think that my
head was even more parched. What was college doing to meanyway?
Finally, I decided that if getting a college education
involved sitting in a dry LRC every day and studying
"Saharan" books in order to write dusty papers, then it was
not for me.
But then I met a guy who claimed that he was going
out on an independent research project. I quickly said "bah
humbug" and stormed away. I wanted no part of this dry
academia. But he stormed away with me and began to shower '
all sorts of bizarre ideas upon me. I couldn't believe it.
He talked about going to a foreign country, particularly
a non-Western, country, to carry out an individual project
that he wanted to study about. I told him it sounded a bit
more interesting than the type of studying I was accustomed I
to. And I thought to myself that it could be an excellent
opportunity for me to establish a way of escape from
the doldrums of a study carrel. He went on to say he would
spend nine months of preparation both in studying the
language and culture of the country and then spend an
additional two months in the country itself. I said it seemed

Lenny: A sad loolk a't
life a's i't so'metime's ;s
by Wayne Pauluk
Lenny is not a beautiful movie. It will not make you
forget your troubles and remember how good life is. It is
hard, bleak and unjust. It will not make you feel good.
. Just like the comedian Lenny Bruce, the movie Lenny will
hurt, but it is the truth.
Lenny Bruce had the deadly gift of seeing life as it
really is. He became a hero of the counter culture by making
Big Macs out of Establishment sacred cows. He got rich
by criticizing the rich. Naturally, he gained many powerful
enemies. He was harassed by the police and spent his fortune
on lawyers for his numerous trials. Finally, broke and facing
a prison sentence-; he committed suicide.
Lenny Bruce has become a. legend, a demi-god. It is to
the credit of the film makers that they don't play this
up. Lenny is a real person, full of faults. His friends are
just as hypocritical as his enemies. His agent has become
rich by exploiting the late entertainer's memory. In this
movie, there are no pretty pictures covering the holes in
the wall.
Lenny has been nominated for six Academy Awards,
including best picture; best actor - Dustin Hoffman; best
actress - Valerie Perrine; and best director - Bob Fosse.
It deserves everyone of these nominations. Lenny is a powerful

Bethel movie review
serves Clarion readers
by Wayne Pauluk
Problem: You are planning an evening with that certain ·
someone. Both of you want to see a movie, but you don't
know of any good ones.
Solution 1: Check the ads in the paper. All movies are
in the paper, but can you rely on them? After all, how
many movies advertise "This movie is a dud. A void it like
a rubber banana." No, they all claim to be the best since
Gone With The Wind.
Solution 2: Read the reviews in the paper. Probably
there's only one movie reviewed in the paper, but you'll
get an honest opinion. Who cares if the reviewer is a 63
year-old man who's still bung up on Deanna Durbin? Who
~ ,cares if you saw the movie last week?
Solution 3: Use the CLARION MOVIE REVIE'W S'ERVICE.
You can read reviews on most of the current movies,
written by Bethel students. There is no charge, and all , you
ha ve to do is come ' down to the Clarion office or call

Baseball squad
off to snow start
by Bruce Olsen
The Bethel baseball team was "snowed out" of all four
of its games last week, as the snow showed its reluctance
to leave in the opening games of the baseball season.
So where does that leave me? Since I have no story
to write, I could make one up. But since my .creativity
is very minimal, I will not bore my reading audience with
a "pretend" baseball game.
Instead, I will say that the Bethel baseball team has
a game tomorrow at Yankton College in Yankton, South
Dakota. The team expects to play the game, unless, of
course, there is another big snowstorm that buries the
entire city of Yankton. Who knows? They still might be
buried from that last snowstorm.
Bethel's next scheduled home game is against Westmar
on April 26. To find out when the postponed games will
be played, talk to a team member or Coach Jack Trager, who
might be found out on the baseball diamond shoveling off
the snow from the latest snowstorm.

Royals bow to' Ha'mline,
run at Ramsey tomorrow
Gene Blair grabbed Bethel track's only first-place finish
Saturday at Macalester College, as Hamline University displayed
its superiority and the Royals were largely limited
to second places.
Blair's winning time was 50.8 seconds in the 440-yard
dash. Bill Whittaker was fourth in that event. The events
were all run on Macalester's water-spotted eight-lane Tartan
Hamline, with amazing depth and speed - especially
in the long distances - totalled 108 points for the day.
Bethel scored 27 and Macalester 22. The University of
Wisconsin at Superior finished fourth .
Steve Whittaker took second place in the mile run,
breaking Bethel's record that he set previously this season,
with a time of 4 :17.2. Fourth place went to Larry Caldwell.
In the 3000-meter steeplechase, a grueling event relatively
unfamiliar to the Royals, Jeff Larson pulled in second
place. Tom Schafer captured a fourth place in the 120-
yard high hurdles.
Due to ground conditions, the field events were conducted
at Hamline. The Royals' significant finishes there
included a fourth place in the javelin throw by Ward Anderson
and second and third place by Bruce Peterson and
Phil Lagesse in the pole vault.
The relay teams (44"0 yards and mile) both ran second
to Hamline's outstanding quickness and speed.
Tomorrow at Ramsey High School, Superior and Gustavus
Adolphus College will be running against Bethel at
1 :30. The Royals are expected to win that meet with little

Prepare in advance to enjoy safe winter travel
As Idaho motorists take to the roads this winter, ITD reminds them that a few extra precautions can make winter journeys safer.
Plan ahead. Before heading out on the state's roadways, dial 511 or visit 511.idaho.gov on the Web for updates on winter road and weather conditions, emergency closures and access to tourist information.
Call B4 U Go. Before leaving home, check the 511 Traveler Services Web site at 511.idaho.gov or dial 511. Reports are available on highway conditions, mountain passes and weather. More than 130 camera images from throughout Idaho also are available on the Web site and on the new Mobile Web application.
Slow down. Leave a few minutes early and allow extra time to get to destinations. It is better to be a few minutes late than put oneself and others at risk by driving too fast for the conditions.
Buckle up. Wearing a seat belt is one of the easiest safety precautions one can take. Also, children must be properly secured in a safety seat that is right for their age and weight.
Use extra caution. Be aware of potentially icy areas such as shady spots and bridges. Take caution against black ice. Drive less than the speed limit if conditions warrant.
Drive safely around snowplows. Keep at least two car lengths behind snowplows for every 10 mph of car speed. Do not pass a snowplow, and never drive through the snow being ejected from the plows because the force of the spraying snow can throw a car out of control.
Be prepared. Winter conditions increase the importance of a well-maintained vehicle. Keep car windows, mirrors and lights clear of snow and ice. Make sure tires and brakes are ready for the extra demands of winter. Visit a mechanic and ensure car battery and fluid levels are good and heating units are working.
Keep emergency supplies in the car: flashlights, extra batteries, first aid kit, pocket knife, blanket or sleeping bag, extra clothing, small sack of sand or cat litter for generating traction under vehicle wheels, small shovel, bottled water, booster cables, rope, energy bars or other food, brightly-colored scarf to attract attention in case of an emergency, waterproof matches or cigarette lighter and a map of the area.
If carrying a cell phone, make sure it is charged and have a list of emergency telephone numbers available. Also, share travel plans with family or friends. Include estimated departure and arrival times, route and destination.
Don't drink and drive. Idaho law enforcement officers will be increasing patrols to catch and arrest drunk drivers this season. Be safe by designating a sober driver before traveling to any party or event involving alcohol.

CAIRO -- In a case closely watched by human rights advocates, a leading figure in Egypt's 2011 revolution was freed on bail Sunday after spending nearly four months in jail.
Alaa Abdel Fattah was arrested in late November, soon after a tough new anti-protest law took effect. He faces charges of organizing an illegal demonstration and assaulting police, both of which he denies.
Abdel Fattah's arrest, together with that of several other prominent secular activists around the same time, marked the start of an expanded crackdown by the military-led interim government against its critics. The case has also cast a spotlight on Egypt's harsh prison conditions, which Abdel Fattah and others have detailed in jailhouse letters.
Until late last year, Egyptian authorities had mainly targeted Islamist supporters of the ousted President Mohamed Morsi, but in recent months, activists, journalists, filmmakers and academics have been caught up in the wave of arrests as well. In all, an estimated 16,000 people have been jailed since the interim government took power less than nine months ago.
The imprisoned journalists include three men – two with foreign passports – who work for the broadcaster Al Jazeera English. Human rights groups, Western governments and media advocacy organizations have denounced as ludicrous the terrorism-related charges against them.
Qatari-owned Al Jazeera says it considers the case politically motivated. Egypt is locked in a dispute with Qatar over the wealthy Gulf emirate's support for Morsi, who is also imprisoned and facing a variety of serious charges, including espionage.
The journalists' trial, and that of 16 others charged along them, was to resume Monday.

Economist Paul McCulley, formerly of PIMCO, has a great new paper out called Does Central Bank Independence Frustrate the Optimal Fiscal-Monetary Policy Mix in a Liquidity Trap? (.pdf), which is a cry for "irresponsible" monetary policy.
Basically, he says, in typical times, it would be the job of the central bank to act independently to counter governments that are borrowing and spending so much that they're causing inflation.
But in a liquidity trap, the job of the central bank is to row in the same direction, and do everything it can to facilitate inflation and spending, even if on paper that seems irresponsible.
It's a big paper, and we're still going through it, but one thing he cites in there is another paper by economists Jacopo Ponticelli and Hans-Joachim Voth called Austerity and Anarchy: Budget Cuts and Social Unrest in Europe,. 1919-2009(.pdf), which explores the link between, as the title states, austerity and social unrest.
What Ponticelli and Voth found, looking back over budget cutting over that 90 year period, is that the relationship between austerity and social unrest (riots, attempted revolutions, and even assassinations) is pretty clear.
Not only that, but the size of the cuts bear a close relationship to the volume of social unrest.
They write:
We use a long panel dataset covering almost a century, focusing on Europe, 1919 to 2009. The continent went from high levels of instability in the first half of the 20th century to relatively low ones in the second, and from frequently troubled economic conditions to prosperity. It thus provides a rich laboratory of changing economic, social and political conditions. In terms of outcome variables, we focus on riots, demonstrations, political assassinations, government crises, and attempted revolutions. These span the full range of forms of unrest, from relatively minor disturbances to armed attempts to overthrow the established political order. We compile a new index that summarizes these variables, and then ask -- for every percentage cut in government spending, how much more instability should we expect?
The data shows a clear link between the magnitude of expenditure cut- backs and increases in social unrest. With every additional percentage point of GDP in spending cuts, the risk of unrest increases. As a first pass at the data, Figure 1 ( below) examines the relationship between fiscal adjustment episodes and the number of incidents indicating instability (CHAOS). CHAOS is the sum of demonstrations, riots, strikes, assassinations, and attempted revolutions in a single year in each country. The first set of five bars show the frequencies conditional on the size of budget cuts. When expenditure is increasing, the average country-year unit of observation in our data registers less than 1.5 events. When expenditure cuts reach 1% or more of GDP, this grows to nearly 2 events, a relative increase by almost a third compared to the periods of budget expansion. As cuts intensify, the frequency of disturbances rises. Once austerity measures involve expenditure reductions by 5% or more, there are more than 3 events per year and country -- twice as many as in times of expenditure increases.
Exactly the same relationship can be observed in each of the four main subcategories of CHAOS. The frequency of demonstrations, assassinations, and general strikes rises monotonically with the scale of cuts. Only in the case of riots is there a small decline for the biggest cut-backs. In the case of demonstrations, the frequency of incidents appears to rise particularly fast as expenditure cuts pass the 3% threshold.
The strength of the link between austerity measures and unrest is our first important finding. Is the link causal? Other factors, such as generally depressed economic conditions, could drive up unrest and the need for cut- backs simultaneously. Controlling for economic growth does not change our results. This suggests that we capture more than the general association between economic downturns and unrest. To demonstrate that causality runs from cut-backs to unrest, we refine the data in two ways: First, we analyse a more detailed dataset that gives information about the causes of each incident. Second, we use recently-compiled data on changes in the government budget that follow directly from policy changes (Devries et al. 2011). For both types of additional evidence, we find clear indications that the link runs from budget cuts to unrest. We also conduct placebo tests with other types of unrest - inspired by ecological issues and world peace, for example - and find no effect of budget measures.

Can the UPS CONNECT support team help me resolve service or tracking issues?

The people who cover technology have known what's coming in Windows 8 for a while but that hasn't reduced the excitement around the launch. For Microsoft, Windows 8 does indeed mark a turn. Metaphorically, the ship is turning in a direction that defines the company's future. iPhone and iPad's success have forced Microsoft to respond, and the company's past has helped them make the move faster than most expected. As Peter Bright wrote in his piece, to understand Windows 8, we have to look at the company's past. Steve Ballmer has time and again emphasized the importance of Windows to Microsoft. It's the one product that's synonymous with the company's name.
Google and Apple have forced Microsoft into adapting to the new dynamics of life. Consumerization of IT is not just a enterprise phrase, it explains how the technology resources between ones work and personal life are merging, and this is defining the evolution of computing. Smart and capable phones like the iPhone and mobile devices like the iPad powered by Internet are changing how people use technology. Microsoft realized this a long time ago but simply failed to get things together on their operating system. Microsoft's partners–their partners–failed miserably to bridge the gap between personal and work devices. The status quo was disrupted by Apple and as people started buying their devices, Microsoft's partners had more to lose than Microsoft. The loudest tech press ignores Microsoft's presence in the enterprise. As Christopher Budd in his guest column on Geek Wire says, Microsoft isn't going to disappear even if Windows 8 & Windows Phone 8 fail.
Bill Gates's decision to license Microsoft to hardware manufacturers was the single best decision for Microsoft and even with the Surface, nothing has changed. A huge deal has been made out of Surface and Microsoft's decision to get into designing computer hardware but the timing couldn't have been better. To remain relevant in the consumer market that is now dictating technology decisions made in the enterprise, as a company, Microsoft had to take radical steps. You either adapt and change or you fail and perish–it's the one rule that separates corporations that survived the test of time and that withered faster than the leaves of Fall. Surface was needed to drum up noise, show OEM partners what can be done and to rally the charge against the iPad. For Microsoft to continue its dominance, they need their OEM partners to succeed. And despite the Surface, Microsoft hasn't forgotten its ecosystem strength.
The New York City launch was about conveying four messages:
- Windows 8 is here
- It works great on tablets, and here's our Surface showing you how
- We've got our own stores for you to see the products
- Our OEM partners have great products for you too
At New York City, Microsoft's pop-up store was selling the Surface. And the company had setup several stations showing what their partners have to offer. It was clear that Microsoft knows their success depends on the success of their OEM partners. Devices from all major OEMs were in the middle of Times Square for pedestrians to touch, hold and experience Windows 8.
As much as the loudest tech press in America might want to shout through their blogs, humans have different preferences. It's why Apple came out with a White iPhone, it's why Apple was compelled to do an iPad mini. For every person who likes the iPad, there will be someone who doesn't. For every person who likes iOS, there will be someone who doesn't–Android's growth is proof of that. The PC ecosystem has for years thrived on choice, Windows has been the same across all OEMs but we have seen manufacturers rise and fall. Apple has made a huge deal out of a statistic that x% of Fortune 50 are considering deploying iPads but that statistic doesn't say PCs are being replaced.
