It's Saturday morning and I should be at zumba. I'm not because my zumba class is canceled, forever. This makes me sad but gives me the opportunity to work on my blog and listen to one of my all time favourite podcasts, The JV Club. Not as physically stimulating at zumba, but an equally productive way to spend a Saturday morning.
In April I started (and completed) a painting of my brother and I kayaking on the Caribbean Sea. Inspired by my mom's photo (above) I pulled out my paints and captured this moment of sibling love. This may be one of the best things I've created – I'm so happy with this painting!
This handmade card from my dear friend Deanne makes me equally happy. I may have mentioned, more than once, how much I loved my trip to the Dominican and how I loved my time by the ocean. I can only presume this sweet card was created after sharing my travels with Deanne . This is one of the prettiest handmade cards I have received (sorry mom). Such a nice surprise!
I am definitely feeling the love. And missing the ocean.
p.s. – Deanne, the timing of your card couldn't have been better. Thanks so much friend.

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - Two people face kidnapping and abuse charges after three girls told police they had been imprisoned by their parents in their midtown home for possibly up to two years.
Police say the girls' stepfather, 34-year-old Fernando Richter, and mother, 32-year-old Sophia Richter were booked into Pima County Jail on three charges each of kidnapping, child abuse/emotional abuse, and child abuse/physical abuse. Fernando Richter was also charged with one count of sexual abuse with a person under 15 years of age, according to police.
According to TPD Capt. Mike Gillooly, the girls were siblings, aged 12, 13, and 17.
Gillooly said the children have been removed from the home.
Gillooly said the two younger girls escaped to a neighbor's house and said their stepfather allegedly had kicked in their bedroom door and threatened them with a knife.
Patrol officers responded to the residence in the 2800 block of North Estrella Avenue, near East Glenn Street and North Stone Avenue, at about 4 a.m. after receiving a 911 report of a domestic fight involving a knife, Gillooly said.
Police found the third girl in one of the home's bedrooms. According to police, all the girls were malnourished and extremely dirty and they said they hadn't bathed in four to six months.
The girls allege that they were only fed once a day.
Gillooly said the girls were found in filthy living conditions and the younger girls had been kept separate from the 17-year-old. He said they told police the younger girls hadn't seen their older sister in two years.
The neighbor who called police described the girls as small and unkempt. She said they were hysterical and visibly shaking. The neighbor did not want to be identified.
Neighbors said they were unaware that any children lived in the house.
The investigation is in its initial stages.
"I can assure you we're doing everything we can to make sure these kids are kept safe," Gillooly said.

The devastation left behind by Hurricane Sandy could affect your 2012 business and personal tax filings.
Continue Reading Below
The IRS has issued several bulletins to help taxpayers overcome these problems and ease the burden of rebuilding and making disaster-related filings. Residents that live in federally-declared disaster areas are eligible to receive the assistance and include many counties located in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey.
Loans from retirement plans. Participants in 401(k) plans, 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities and state and local government employees with 457(b) deferred-compensation plans can take out loans from these plans as part of a hardship distribution. IRA participants are not allowed to take out loans but may be eligible to receive distributions under liberalized procedures. Check with your plan manager to find out if you qualify. The loan must be taken out by Feb. 1, 2013 in order to qualify under the hardship rules.
Donations. Workers will be allowed to trade in their accrued vacation, personal leave and sick time to their employers for a cash payment made to a bona fide tax exempt organization providing relief to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. It's an unusual method of making a donation to a good cause, but is nevertheless very effective. The value of the donated time will not be included on the employee's W2, the employer will enjoy a deduction. The deadline for this opportunity is Jan. 1, 2014.
Extensions of filing deadlines. Any filing deadlines for individuals and businesses from late October to the end of January 2013 will be extended to Feb. 1, 2013. This includes payroll and excise tax returns normally due Oct. 31 and Jan. 31 as well as the accompanying payments. Also included is the fourth quarter installment of estimated tax payment due on Jan. 15, 2013. Penalties and interest will be abated if you qualify.
Even if your business was not located in the disaster area but your books and records or your tax professional were located in a designated zone, you will still qualify for relief from these deadlines.
According to the IRS, the following counties are included for relief:
In Connecticut (starting Oct. 27): Fairfield, Middlesex, New Haven and New London Counties and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and Mohegan Tribal Nation located within New London County;
In New Jersey (starting Oct. 26): Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren;
In New York (starting Oct. 27): Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Sullivan, Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester;
In Rhode Island (starting Oct. 26): Newport and Washington counties.
New charities. While the IRS encourages Americans to donate to existing charities to help in the relief effort, it also supports the organization of new charities. In so doing, it will expedite the application processing of these organizations. According to the IRS, "Organizations should apply for tax-exempt status by filing IRS Form 1023 and write at the top of the form "Disaster Relief, Hurricane Sandy."
If you wish to make a donation, check the web site of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Government's main Web portal at FirstGov.gov for lists of organizations that provide support to victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Taxpayers also need to be careful of scams. Make sure you are making a donation to a recognized 501(c) (3) organization and be wary of websites with similar names to well-known charities. Do not send cash or divulge your personal financial information such as your Social Security number. Note that charities do not need your social security number in order to provide you with a receipt for tax purposes.
Call the IRS toll-free disaster assistance telephone number, 1-866-562-5227, if you are a hurricane victim with specific questions about tax relief or disaster related tax issues.

By Peter Tashjian, KF11 Armenia
10 Random Things I Learned during my Kiva Fellowship:
1. Most people are good but carry memories of bad experiences. As soon as they address and resolve their interpretation of those experiences, their outlook on life improves almost immediately.
2. It's a very emotional and life changing experience when a Kiva "Borrower Profile" you helped post is funded by hundreds of amazing "strangers" from around the world. Seeing the smiling faces of these lenders is very empowering.
3. Though the media reports mostly the negatives, the good work being done behind the scenes far outweigh the negatives which media chooses to focus on.
4. Kiva lends to entrepreneurs who are already on the road to helping themselves. This is not charity.
5. Being a Kiva Fellow is challenging work. The more comfortable you are in your own skin, the more effective you become in your mission to help reduce poverty.
6. When you are happy with yourself, everything and everyone around you suddenly improve.
7. I learned that the Armenian people in Yerevan, Armenia are art lovers. They make the art accessible to ordinary citizens and tourists by frequently having free concerts in various city centers along with art exhibitions.
8. Delicious apricots were originated in Armenia. A song by the name of Apricot Stone was entered in Eurovision 2010.
9. I was reminded that my life in Los Angeles is amazing, though I often forget this.
10. Don't underestimate how much "strangers" care. Just look at the lenders on Kiva.org if you need a reminder.

Spring Lethargy Strikes
Winter Weary Campus
"Keep off the grass!" signs dot the campus lawn again
and students now look in both directions to see if Eric will no-tice
them running across his growing grass leaving depressed
foot prints in the rain softened earth.
Out on the wide ledge of the college building's front steps
a few diligent students soak up the sunshine as they pore over
another chapter of Western civilization or stare off into space.
Some cynic breaks the silence. "Suppose we'll have more snow
this weekend."
Days are longer now. Along toward evening students
saunter across the campus swinging tennis rackets and bounc-ing
fuz-covered balls on the sidewalk as they go. Voices carry
from the courts to the open dormitory windows across the
street. "My serve. 15 .. 30 .. 40 .. game, How about getting
the ball inside the court this time?"
After dinner couples amble around the block before going
back to the tedium of their books. Maybe they find it true
that in spring a young man's fancy does turn—to thoughts of
a summer job or the next baseball game.
Or if they don't go walking around the block in couples,
they play keep away on the grass with an old ragged softball.
The boys are keeping the ball away from the girls, of course.
As the sun goes down the players lose the ball in the dusky
light and the game is over. Sighing they return to an ominous
stack of books waiting to be quoted in a term paper.
Spring fever is hitting the campus.

Dear Editor:
We, as a dormitory council,

of Edgren dormitory for their co-operation
in the dormitory search

Dormitory council initiated the

Although the search was un-fortunate,
we felt that it was a

Delegates attending the national
convention of the American Assoc-iation
of Evangelical Students last
weekend felt a mood of serious
study and positive questioning as
the convention sought to find the
place of evangelical higher educa-tion
in the modern world (see page
Dr. Andrew Holmes of Wheaton
college keynoted the convention
with the fearful question, "Can
Christian higher education prepare
us to live in this day?"
Today Western man is being
de-humanized in a scientific age.
A scientific outlook, which in-terprets
religion as the childhood
of human experience, philosophy
as the adolescence and scientific
experimentation as maturity, is
the basic presupposition.
Such a scientific world has led
to modern predicaments like "The
Organization Man" and "The Lone-ly
Crowd." Unable to find authen-tic
existence in this impersonal
ought to be) descriptive rather
than normative. Art is therefore
logically prior to a philosophy of
the arts, just as the Scriptures are
prior to theology and the English
language to an English grammar
If it were true that "history
shows that the philosopher-aesthe-ticians
have always preceded the
arts," (Martinez), what, pray tell,
would aestheticians have to philo-sophize
about? Art (even decidedly
Christian art) exists with or with-out
the clarifications of aesthetic
In Aristotle's essay "On Po-etry,"
(he is considered the first
aesthetic literary critic), that
great philosopher arrives at his
aesthetic theory by the process
of induction.
His conclusions are used deduc-tively
in the criticism of other
tragedies. Ivory Tower aesthetiz-ing
is the last thing needed by
Christian art. Art must stand as a
corrector of the copy-books of aes-thetic
philosophers and not the

world, man is trying to re-human-ize
himself in many ways.
Communists find meaning in be-ing
a part of a great movement
toward a classless society. And
American ultra-conservatives seek
the "rugged individualist" of a
past age.
College students find a ra-tionale
for a morals revolution in
a relativistic world in which they
find no fixed moral standards or
"raison d'etre."
Modern existentialism is involv-ed
in a desperate struggle to create
meaning where absurdity reigns,
as Alfred Camut so graphically
illustrates in his book The Plague.
Asserting that man is more than
a bundle of behavioral impulses,
Dr. Holmes suggested that modern
man cannot find himself until he
asks, "What about God?" In an-swer
to this question, Christian
higher education sheds light on the
inner questions of modern man.
Dr. Holmes' address establish-ed
the mood for the entire con-vention.
Delegates faced honest-ly
and squarely the backward-ness
of evangelicals in such areas
as the race issue, inner-city prob-lems
and political affairs.
This honesty was not the only
cause for optimism. The intellect-ual
maturity and sobriety, along
with sincere commitment to a Bib-lical
faith, which characterized stu-dents
from both Bible institutes
and liberal arts colleges can only
be labeled "exciting."
Suspicion and religious pride
which once hindered the associa-tion
of some thirty colleges ap-pears
to be a part of the childhood
of an organization determined to
grow to maturity.

Art Class Tours
Eastern Cities
by Dan Martinez
After months of preparation and
anticipation, two carloads of an-xious
students and faculty left
Bethel college campus March 25
for a ten day visit to the nation's
art centers of the East coast in-cluding
Washington, D.C., Philadel-phia
and New York.
The group consisted of Mr. and
Mrs. Gene Johnson, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Nelson, Marvin Bjurlin,
Wendell Carroll, Diane Dirkes,
Dorothy Fischer, Phyllis Larson,
Sue Kattas, Dan Martinez and
Donna Rose.
Art department sponsored the
tour by providing free transpor-tation
and making provisions for
free housing throughout the
Finally, at 2 a.m. Saturday morn-ing,
we arrived in Washington,
D.C. Most of Saturday we spent in
the National Art gallery.
After Easter morning worship
at National Baptist church, we
were joined by Mr. Julius Whit-inger
(chairman of the music de-partment,
on sabbatical leave)
who guided us through the new
Dulles airport.
Tuesday morning we found our-selves
in Philadelphia, visiting the
Philadelphia Art museum. After
visiting some historic sights, we
departed for New York city.
New York city, the art center of
the world, had so many galleries
and museums that as the trip came
to an end, we lamented not having
more time and physical stamina
to extend our tour.
Thursday evening, Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel Martinez, Sr. served
us supper in their apartment
and Friday morning we were
westward bound.
Although we were glad to arrive
on campus and relax after our hec-tic
tour, we all spoke anxiously
of revisiting the big eastern cities.
and a Thursday night panel dis-cussion
on Christian communica-tion
helped delegates to become
better acquainted.
Students returned to their 35
colleges with a new sense of the
importance and contribution of
AAES. Evangelical colleges of all
persuasions achieved a new unity
at the convention.
This spirit of co-operation and
Christian brotherhood which per-vaded
the convention gives cre-dence
to Dr. Holmes' assertion
that Christian higher education
may change the world.
Senators Meet
Without Quorum
by J. David Patterson
If you were searching for a word
to describe student senate's April
7 meeting, "disappointing" would
spring to your lips.
The meeting which was to have
started at 6:45 was finally can-celled
at 7:10 when it became evi-dent
that there were not enough
senators present to constitute a
bare quorum nor was it likely that
any more would show up.
Mike Rynkiewich was sent out
to round up senators in hopes of
mustering together a quorum.
(If next year's senate is any-thing
like this year's Mike will
become increasingly familiar
with this job.) However, he re-turned
later empty-handed.
This is a deplorable situation.
But the following two easy steps
could insure a quorum at every
student senate meeting.
Initially, the amendment requir-ing
senators to attend three out
of every four meetings could be
revived and passed. It has ceased
to be practical to rely on the
chauvinism of senators to insure
their presence at meetings. Ap-parently,
senators, as highly as
they might be regarded, are prone
to shirk their responsibilities.
Another way to insure sena-tors'
attendance is to elect sena-tors
who are interested in at-tending.
Class elections are at hand and
voters should choose wisely when
selecting a candidate. By "wisely"
I mean to choose the candidate
that demonstrates the most enthus-iasm
in his campaign.
Chances are (contrary to what you
might have been told) enthusiasm
during a candidate's campaign will
indicate the interest that candidate
may have toward his office. If an
officer is indeed interested he will
make every effort to be at senate

While there undoubtedly is a
dearth of evangelical scholarship
in the area of aesthetic philoso-phy
(as in many other areas),
there is nothing inherent in ev-angelicalism
which ought to re-sult
in a unique aesthetic philo-sophy,
apart from the wider con-text
of Christian theism.
If evangelicals have any contri-bution
to make to the field of
aesthetic philosophy, it will be as
Christian theists, and not as "evan-gelicals,"
"fundamentalists," or
what have you.
I was taken aback at Martinez'
statement that Rader's anthology
does not have a "single selection
which is consistent with evangeli-cal
Christian philosophy." (Weitz
(1959), and Philipson (1961) can
hardly be said to be "more . . .

lations and conflicts between man
and nature.
Upon entering Booth's studio one
is confronted with countless paint-ings
of horses. A few of these are
on view in the student center. His
explanation for this is simple; he
grew up with them and loves them.
He sees them as an artist for their
movements and color rhythm pro-viding
him with the opportunity
for expression.
As observable in these paint-ings,
Booth has fine control of
the formal elements, shape and
form, direction of line, color and
simplicity of design.
Through study of Booth's ab-stract
paintings we see his con-cern
for the inner forces of na-ture,
the constant change and
growth. A very good example of
these ideas providing the basis for
his paintings is the painting titled
"Surging." Its forceful twisting
sweeps and large flowing areas in-vaded
by brilliant growing shapes

tion in the college. Her job then entailed work for
presidential assistant H. Wyman Malmsten and work
with alumni records.
In September 1955, she assumed the position of
secretary to seminary Dean Edwin Omark and mov-ed
across campus to new responsibilities. Mrs. Hag-strom
has also functioned as secretary to the
Registrar since that post was created. Until two
years ago when Mrs. Helen Holmberg joined the
staff, Mrs. Hagstrom was the only woman in the
Officially, Mrs. Hagstrom, the widow of Bethel's
first president will retire in September. But before
then, her plans include a six-week vacation trip to
Sweden. She will fly via Scandinavian airlines to
her native Stockholm.
Leaving May 31, she expects "to visit a few rela-tives"
and tour the Swedish state. Born in Sweden's
capital city, Mrs. Hagstrom emigrated to Chicago
with her parents before she was one year old. She
has revisited Scandinavia twice.
Although retirement plans are still undeter-mined—"
I haven't had time to think about that"—
Mrs. Hagstrom will no doubt remain actively inter-ested
in the college and seminary. "I'm certainly
going to miss working with Bethel and all the
seminary boys," she confessed.
Seminarians have sensed the gap Mrs. Hagstrom's
fall departure will bring. Last month they honored
her birthday and coming retirement by presenting
an engraved watch and a sheaf of red roses.
Paul Evans, senate president, gave a tribute to the
charming white-haired woman when he said, "This
is not a farewell, but a recognition." In characteristic
fashion, Mrs. Hagstrom didn't have time for such
fuss. "I've got to get back to the office. I have 150
exams to get out."
Mrs. Hagstrom retires, but her influence will con-tinue
on campus. Her bright smile and consideration
are a source of encouragement to all who have had
occasion to know her.

Physical education department is doing a fine job of bringing in
outside talent for demonstration purposes. A week before Easter vaca-tion
a semi-pro volleyball team put on a demonstration in the field-house.
The team is from the Minneapolis YMCA. For those attempting
to play the game in intramural competition, and for those who at some
time or another happen to have a chance to play volleyball, the team
demonstrated the techniques of power volleyball. First, they went over
the fundamentals of serving, setting and spiking. Then they pointed out
how a volley should be played.
On Thursday of last week, the department brought in the Gymnastic
team of the University of Minnesota. The team's assistant coach ex-plained
what was happening as the men went through their routines.
The team showed the basic moves in free exercise, tumbling, side horse,
parallel bars, still rings and the high bar. One other event, the long
horse, was not demonstrated because Bethel does not have the appar-atus.
The team had several champions on it, and all were quite proficient
in several events. Thanks to the physical education department on be-half
of the students who appreciated these demonstrations.
Meetr A Royal
Jim Austin, a 21 year old junior, has lettered two years in baseball
at Bethel. In high school in Idaho and California, Jim lettered four
years in baseball and two in basketball. His home is now Cupertino,
California where his father is the pastor of a small, but growing church.
After being graduated from Bethel with a double major in Chris-tianity
and Psychology, Jim plans to go to a seminary. He wants to go
where there is a good pastoral counseling department so he can relate
his major fields of interest into one life work.
For the last two years, Jim has done a fine job
at third base for the Royals. This year he is also one
of the starting pitchers. Coach Dave Cox counts Jim
as one of the more consistent and reliable men on
the team.
This past year Jim has served as a member-at-large
in the student senate. He is also very active
in intrarnurals.

tie. On Saturday the Royals split
a doubleheader with Morris. The
first game went to Bethel 74 and
Morris captured the second by an
11-8 margin.
Royals started out the season
fast with three runs in their
half of the first.
After Bemidji had taken a 4-3
lead in the fifth, Buck homered
following John Dickau's single to
give Bethel a 5-4 lead. The lead
was shortlived, though, as Bemidji
scored two more in the sixth, to
regain the lead. Bethel knotted the
score with a tally in the bottom of
the sixth.
After exchanging runs in the
eighth, Bemidji seemed to have
scored the clinching runs in the
ninth. They led 9-7 as Bethel
came to bat in the final inning.
Buck led off with a single and
Gene Brunzell followed with a
single. Austin reached first when
bunt single, his third hit, and
Brunzell's walk, Austin smashed a
long drive to left and Buck scored
the winning run from third.
In Saturday's first baseball game
Bethel sent freshman Phil Forsline
to the mound. A combined effort
by Forsline and Vince Bloom al-lowed
Morris only 5 hits and 4
runs. Bloom pitched innings 6 and
7, fanning 5 batters and allowing
no hits.
Morris took an early three run
lead with 2 runs in the first and
one in the second. In the bottom
of the third John Dickau led off
with a walk. Dave Buck doubled
him home and scored later on
an error.
In the fourth Duane Johnson
tied the score with a lead-off home-run,
Dickau singled and Buck
scored him again, this time on a
triple. Buck scored on a wild pitch.
Bethel's 5-3 lead was narrowed
by one in the top of the 5th as
Morris tallied. However, the Roy-als
added the insurance runs in
the bottom of the sixth as Dickau
walked, Buck singled and Dave
Guerke singled them both home.
Bethel lost its first game of
the season in the second game.
Morris got to Gene Selander for
6 runs in the first and Bethel
was unable to recover. Once
down 10-2, the Royals came as
close as 10-8 before Morris re-liever
Mike Thomas cooled their
Big hits came for Bethel in the
4th as Bob Nolin homered over the

Bethel track team opened its
season on Saturday, April 11 a-gainst
Macalester and Hamline in
a triangular meet. When all of the
points were totaled, Macalester had
99, Bethel 281/2 and Hamline 23.
Fred Purcell, off to his usual
fast start, paced all runners by
winning the mile in 4:32. Rogers
placed fourth with a time of 4:56.8.
In the 440 yard sprint, Jim
Peterson placed second with a
clocking of 51.7.
Ron Bergman placed third with
a vault of 11 feet in the pole vault.
In the 100 yard dash, Don Land
placed fourth with 10.5. Winning
time was 10.0 turned in by Ridge

Everyone has a specialty to bargain with: Oz & Janet have their homegrown vegetables, Ron has his honey, Higgins has his lamb, Paul has his venison, Ted has logs, and this time of year, we have partridge and pheasants. Dollars and cents respectively (or pounds and pence if you prefer). Partridge are of higher value trade-wise than pheasants.
Besides consumables people trade time and skills. These things have value but it tends to accrue over time. That is, a favour is done and put on account. Enough favours translate into 'consumables'. Favours and 'lending a neighborly hand' are important because they signify to the rest of the village that you are one of them and open for business.
It doesn't even have to be an intentional trade. Sometimes these things just happen, and those are the best kind. For example, Mrs Ted (the woodsman's wife) has been unwell and stuck at home. Mike and I sent her some flowers to wish her well. It turns out no one had ever done that for her before (I need to have a word with Ted!) and she was very touched. So was Ted, who dropped by this morning with a load of logs for us by way of thanks. And we were grateful, even though Ted starts his day at 4am, and I woke up to the sound of thudding logs and truck hydraulics. Mike got up to make Ted a cup of tea - another important social bonding ritual. Always with the tea.
Not much later (but at least I was conscious by now), Paul dropped by with some oven-ready pheasant and partridge from Monday's shoot. The boys down at the local garage have been kind to Mike. He's not been able to change a tire yet since the accident, so the garage boys have been looking after him through his recent spate of punctures. Mike was going to drop off the birds to say thanks. Paul added his services of 'preparing oven ready game' to his account. A few more favors and I will shoot another deer or pig for him. And so it goes.

The paper industry is peeved at Google right now. An industry organization called "Two Sides" recently published a scathing open letter to the technology giant accusing it of scamming the American people by encouraging them to use less paper in 2013. Our world has become increasingly digitized, and many agree that a reduction in paper use (and thus waste) is good for the planet. More trees = happy Earth, right? Not according to the paper companies.
Two Sides indignantly claims that Google's new initiative is "clearly another example of a self interested organisation using an environmentally focused marketing campaign to promote its services while ignoring its own impact upon the environment." Do they have a point? We'll take a look after the jump.
Initially, hearing the claim that "going paperless" has zero environmental benefit made me incredulous. Who does the paper industry think it is? Don't they know we use about 71 million tons of paper in the U.S. each year and only about 37 percent of the fiber used to make new paper products in the US comes from recycled sources? How could using less paper possibly be bad for the environment?!
"Google's own environmental impact is astounding," the Two Sides letter states, and it's an accusation that's hard to refute. Google uses 2.3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, most of which is gobbled up by massive data centers. The letter goes on to point out that digital activities, such as conducting a Google search or watching a YouTube video, combine for massive annual energy consumption and carbon emissions as well. Multiplied by the billions of people doing these things thousands of times a year, it's pretty staggering. There's also the nasty reality of e-waste, the fastest growing waste stream in the world. Going digital inevitably requires the purchase of a device which, though it requires no paper, is full of toxic metals and chemicals. Not exactly environmentally-friendly.
Of course, what Two Sides fails to acknowledge in its letter is the significant threat the paper industry poses to old growth forests here in the U.S., as well as rain forests and the endangered animals that live there. There's also no mention of the massive amount of water consumed in the paper making process, and then the water and air that's polluted from the toxic chemicals used to make paper oh-so-white and smooth. And we haven't even started to discuss the nasty inks and dyes used to create paper packaging.
There's also the inconvenient truth that Google is working hard to source energy for its data centers from renewable sources. And while it's certainly not the norm, thousands of families installed solar, wind, and geothermal power systems at their homes and businesses, meaning that the energy powering their digital devices produces almost no negative emissions.
What do you think? Is Google's "Go Paperless" campaign nothing but a self-serving marketing ploy, or is the paper industry just sore about becoming obsolete? Tell us in the comments.

The Baronial Order of Magna Charta (BOMC) was founded in 1898 as The Baronial Order of Runnemede during the flowering of scholarly and popular interest in the history and development of the Anglo-Saxon people that characterized the final decades of Queen Victoria's reign.
For over a century BOMC has been a leading proponent organization whose purpose is the promulgation and support of the principles set forth in that world-pervasive document — the Magna Carta.
The Military Order of the Crusades (MOC) was founded 15 August 1934 to record and honor the men and women who participated in the Crusades between 1095 and 1291.
The Military Order of the Crusades is a separate organization operating under the aegis of the Baronial Order of Magna Charta. MOC merged with BOMC on 6 June 1998 but continues parallel operations with BOMC serving, in effect, as advisor.
The Orders meet two times each year — at a Breakfast Meeting in Washington, DC during "Hereditary Week" each April and in the Fall.

Nobody expected that smokers would suddenly "stop smoking" because of the tax; the government was just trying to take advantage of people who break into hives when they go without a smoke. If someone starts shaking from a lack of nicotine, they need help... not a ridiculous tax that would exploit them.
Think what you want about smoking and the dangers of it, but I find it morally wrong to tax people for something they are dependent on. It's just not right, in my opinion... and I'm not a chronic smoker, either.

Grizzly Bear
Basic Facts About Grizzly Bears
Grizzly bears are majestic symbols of the wild. Bears live in and use a variety of habitat types, playing important roles in each one. This makes them an "umbrella species," meaning that when we protect them and their habitat we also protect many species. Grizzly bears can also help ecosystems by distributing seeds and nutrients through their scat, and occasionally regulating ungulate populations.
© Harry Bosen
Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) have concave faces, a distinctive hump on their shoulders, and long claws about two to four inches long. Both the hump and the claws are traits associated with a grizzly bear's exceptional digging ability. Grizzlies are often dark brown, but can vary from very light cream to black. The long guard hairs on their backs and shoulders frequently have white tips and give the bears a "grizzled" appearance, hence the name "grizzly." The correct scientific name for the species is "brown bear," but only coastal bears in Alaska and Canada are referred to as such, while inland bears and those found in the lower 48 states are called grizzly bears.
Did You Know?
Grizzly bears have a better sense of smell than a hound dog and can detect food from miles away.
Grizzly bears are omnivores, and their diet can vary widely. They may eat seeds, berries, roots, grasses, fungi, deer, elk, fish, dead animals and insects. In the late summer and early fall, grizzlies enter hyperphagia, a period of 2-4 months when they intensify their calorie intake to put on weight for winter denning. During this time period they can gain more than three pounds a day!
Though still common in much of Alaska, British Columbia and Alberta, grizzly bears have been reduced in the lower 48 states from an estimated historical population of 50,000 to only about 1,800 today in five small isolated populations. Most of these grizzly bears are located in Montana's Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (including Glacier National Park) and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
Habitat & Range
Grizzly bears are found many different habitats, from dense forests to subalpine meadows, open plains and arctic tundra. In North America, grizzly bears are found in western Canada, Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and a potentially a small population in Washington. Historically, they could be found from Alaska to Mexico and from California to Ohio.
Did You Know?
Grizzly bears use "rub trees." These are trees where they scratch their backs, leaving scent and hair. Biologists can use these trees to collect DNA from many bears living in the area.
Grizzly bears are normally solitary animals. However, they are not very territorial and they may be seen feeding together where food is abundant, such as at salmon streams and whitebark pine sites. Females will rear their cubs for 2-3 years. When a female grizzly bear leaves her mother, they often set up their home range quite close to their mother's home range. Males will typically range further, but may also remain close by.
Grizzly bears need to eat a lot in the summer and fall in order to build up sufficient fat reserves to survive the winter denning period. This is particularly true for pregnant females, who must have sufficient fat reserves to give birth to approximately one-pound cubs in January or February and then nurse them to about 20 pounds before emerging from the den in April or May.
Grizzly bears are one of the slowest reproducing land mammals. Females do not typically reproduce until they are four or five years old. Grizzly bears mate between May and July, but the female's body delays implantation of their eggs in the uterus until October or November. If the female has not gained enough fat over the summer to survive and raise cubs, implantation may not occur. A grizzly's ability to garner enough quality calories through the summer is not just crucial for her survival, but also for her reproductive ability.
Mother bears rear cubs for two to three years. Males do not help raise the cubs. In fact, males can be a danger to the cubs, so females often avoid male grizzly bears while rearing their cubs.
Mating Season: Early May through mid-July
Gestation: Anywhere from 180-270 days, including delayed implantation.
Litter Size: 1-4 cubs, but average is 2-3

Ebay UK have a pretty nifty deal…
But buy something from Ebay, until the 31st January, and get £5 of the post and packing costs. If the shipping is less, the whole amount will be erased.
This is particularly good for items in Asia – you know how sellers there tend to list things for 1p and have £4.99 for shipping?! Well it's time to grab a 1p bargain!
Just enter the code – CHEERS1 as a voucher on Paypal.
You can only use the coupon once per account, so choose wisely….
NOTE: As usual Paypal just has to rip you off, just that little bit more…the current exchange rate is 1.95 $ to £, but Paypal always gives you a lower rate anyway so it is something like 1.92. After I applied the code, I was given the rate of 1.90 *like magic* and as my purchase was in dollars. So it is more like a £3 discount of shipping once Paypal have finished ripping you off. Just so ya know 🙂

Think outside the country
As a business owner, you might often look for ways to improve your products and services while positively influencing your bottom line. However, this can be easier said than done — how you go about increasing profits and simultaneously offering more to your customers can be challenging. One option is to heed a slightly modified version of "thinking outside the box" — try "thinking outside the country".
Importing supplies and products from outside of Canada presents options you may not have previously considered. Maybe you would like to bring unique products to your Canadian customers, or find more sources of the supplies you need, or even license a foreign product. No matter why you may choose to import goods into Canada, there are a number of rules and regulations you'll want to know before you do so.
To help you understand the process you must follow in order to import goods into Canada, the Canada Border Service Agency has published A step-by-step guide to importing. The guide goes through all the steps that are involved in bringing products into the country, such as:
- Getting a Business Number and Import/Export tax account
- Getting accurate information, such as restrictions and requirements, about your imports
- Calculating applicable duties, tariffs and taxes
- Liaising with customs brokers, exporters, shippers and vendors
- Arranging for the transportation and release of your goods
The importing process has many steps, most of which are mandatory. It doesn't have to be intimidating — treat it like any other organizational process.
For more information, check out our Export, Import and Foreign Investment section.

10 Last-Minute Tax Tips
April 17 -- the deadline to file your taxes -- is just around the corner. The IRS offers the following 10 tips for taxpayers still working on their returns.
1. File electronically using IRS e-file.
2. Consider paying electronically.
3. Check identification numbers.
4. Double-check your calculations.
5. Check the tax tables.
6. Sign your form.
7. Mail your return to the correct address.
8. Fill out your check correctly.
9. Request an extension if necessary.
10. Get last-minute questions answered.
Forms, publications and helpful information on a variety of tax subjects are available at www.irs.gov. By the April 17 due date, you should either file a return or request an extension of time to file. Remember, the extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. If you are mailing a payment, make the check payable to "United States Treasury" and enclose it with, but do not attach it to, the tax return or the Form 1040-V, Payment Voucher, if used. The check should include the Social Security number of the person listed first on the return, daytime phone number, the tax year and the type of form filed. If you are mailing a return, find the correct mailing address at www.irs.gov. Click the "Individuals" tab and the "Where to File" link under IRS Resources on the left side. You must sign and date your return. Both spouses must sign a joint return, even if only one had income. Anyone paid to prepare a return must also sign it. If you are filing using the Free File Fillable Forms or a paper return, double-check that you have used the right figure from the tax table. If you are filing a paper return, double-check that you have correctly calculated the refund or balance due. Carefully check identification numbers -- usually Social Security numbers -- for each person listed. This includes you, your spouse, dependents and persons listed in relation to claims for the Child and Dependent Care Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit. Missing, incorrect or illegible Social Security numbers can delay or reduce a tax refund. In addition to filing electronically, also consider paying electronically if you owe a payment. Electronic payment options are convenient and safe methods for paying taxes. You may authorize an electronic funds withdrawal or use a credit or debit card. For more information on electronic payment options, visit www.irs.gov.Not only is IRS e-file safe and easy, but it's also become the norm. IRS e-file has surpassed the milestone of 1 billion returns processed after more than 20 years of secure service. Last year, 112 million income tax returns -- 77 percent of all individual returns -- were filed using IRS e-file.

OK, I confess
But before I confess to anything, you can interrogate me.
You can ask me about my work with big-name clients like Siemens, Software AG, GROHE, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Honda. Or hundreds of SMEs.
You can ask me about my 20-odd years' experience in copywriting across just about every sector.
Or about my 91% repeat-business rate (something must be working).
So far, so good. But, yes, I have sinned. Why?
Well, I am a darn good copywriter, but I'm not in Gloucester. But hey — we've all got email, Skype and the miracle of telephony, and it's never been a problem.
So let's not let geography get in the way of achieving real results for your business.
Below, you'll find links to some of my work. After you've digested it, click here to email me or call me at my copywriting studio near Manchester on 01772 435827 or 07745 092037, or +44(0)1772 435827 outside the UK. Better still, call me Nigel.
Find out about all of the copywriting services I offer.
Take a look at some of my best copywriting, for big brands, SMEs and everything in between.
"Nigel's understanding, skill and creativity are outstanding. On time and on budget, Nigel can't be recommended enough. Stringing a few words of copy is one thing, creating your message with flair, energy and passion requires skill. Nigel's copy zings off the page and his ability to grasp our business has been invaluable. We will certainly be using his talents again."

Reggae singer Busy Signal was today sentenced to six months' imprisonment in a Minnesota court in the United States. But he will be out of jail in two months' time because he has already served four months in lockup, which is considered time served.
The artiste, whose real name is Glendale Goshia Gordon, was sentenced on a charge of failure to show up for trial, following his guilty plea in July.
Busy Signal, 33, was in February 2002 slapped with two counts of cocaine-related charges, in the US, which carry a sentence of at least 15 years in prison.
He, however, fled the US before his trial was to begin that year, causing a warrant to be issued for his arrest.
The plea comes exactly a month after the artiste was extradited to the United States when he decided against challenging his extradition in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.
He was detained by authorities in London last May and accused of travelling with false documents, including a passport that listed a different name. He returned to Kingston where he was arrested at the airport.
