For a month, U.S.
officials in Bogotá told Colombian journalist Hollman Morris that his request for a U.S.
visa to study at Harvard as a prestigious Nieman
Fellow had been denied on grounds relating to terrorist activities as
defined by the U.S. Patriot Act, and that the decision was permanent and that there were no grounds for appeal. It was the first time in the storied history
of the Nieman
Foundation that a journalist had been prohibited from traveling not by his
own nation, such as, say, South Africa's apartheid regime back in 1960, but by
ours, noted
Nieman Curator Bob Giles in the Los Angeles Times.
A coalition of groups including the Nieman Foundation, Human Rights Watch, CPJ, the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma (where Morris was also a fellow), the Open Society Institute, the Knight Foundation, the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas, the Inter-American Press Association, the American Civil Liberties Union, PEN American Center, the Washington Office on Latin America, and the North American Congress for Latin America rallied to Morris' defense, publicly and privately imploring U.S. agencies to reverse the decision. Last week, the multilateral Organization of American States also asked the State Department to grant Morris the visa.
Morris wrote this afternoon in an e-mail to the above groups: "I just got out of the U.S. Embassy and they gave me the visa." He went on: "I am very happy, and I know none of this would have been possible without you."
CPJ and other groups
are happy, too. Although the month-long denial of the visa raises questions that
remain unanswered. Such as: Did

This is a charge has
been levied against Morris before, by Colombian officials as high-ranking as
President Alvaro Uribe, who has accused

VATICAN CITY, April 22 (UPI) -- Pope Francis said Monday there are "climbers" in the Catholic Church hierarchy who are "stealing the glory away from Jesus."
During a mass at the Vatican, the pontiff also warned against following a "shop-like" religion, ANSA reported.
The pope warned of "climbers who, voluntarily or involuntarily, pretend they are seeking for their own self" but who are really "burglars and thieves" seeking their own glorification by "stealing the glory away from Jesus," Agencia Giornalistica Italia reported.
Francis, who was elected March 13, has named a panel to advise on overhauling the church's administrative branch known as the Curia.

The Worcester Revolt and the American Revolution Round Table
The Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution has published Melvin H. Bernstein's essay "Setting the Record Straight: The Worcester Revolt of September 6, 1774" on its website. A shorter version appeared last month in the Worcester Telegram and Gazette.
This essay discusses the organized uprising to close the Worcester County courts before their September 1774 session, effectively ending royal government in the region seven months before the Battle of Lexington and Concord. The local populace demanded that men holding royal commissions refuse to act under them as long as Parliament's Coercive Acts remained in effect.
Bernstein advocates a regional commemoration of the 1774 uprising next year on its 240th anniversary:
Taking note of the odd revolutionary historical vacuum that persists in Worcester, a local initiative was launched in 2012 to organize a commemorative day for September 6, 1774, to be held on that date in 2014. The initiative encompasses the following core group of revolutionary, historical and cultural organizations: Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, Worcester Daughters of the American Revolution, Preservation Worcester, and the Worcester Historical Museum.Cambridge could likewise commemorate the massive uprising four days earlier, later named the "Powder Alarm." That came to a head on Cambridge common and at the house of Lt. Gov. Thomas Oliver on the Watertown road. Worcester County men were also part of that event, though it doesn't show up in the essay. That militia mobilization warned Gen. Thomas Gage that the rural population was largely united against him, prompting him to rescind his optimistic call for new legislative elections. Together those and similar demonstrations elsewhere in Massachusetts produced a largely peaceful de facto change in government leading to the Provincial Congress.
The First American Revolution as part of the American Revolution Round Table, which he chairs. Another meeting of that group is coming up on at 7:00 P.M. on Monday, 4 February, in Lincoln. The topic will be Samuel A. Forman's biography, Dr. Joseph Warren: The Boston Tea Party, Bunker Hill, and the Birth of American Liberty, with the author on hand to discuss his work. Seating is limited, so anyone hoping to attend should contact Melvin Bernstein about the possibility of reserving a place.

The game was exciting, the fans went wild. The Bethel basketball team was out to win.
And they did—in Tuesday night's game against Macalester.

Royals upset Mac 50-48 in overtime thriller
Marg Erickson
in one of the most exciting
games of the decade Bethel very
ably handed a nice loss to the team
from the school down the street-
Macalester College on Tuesday eve-ning
in our fieldhouse.
I've diceded to break all rules
of journalism in writing this arti-cle.
Number 1—I'm not a sports
writer but I know a good game
when I see one and the Bethel-Mac
game was a good game. Number 2
��news articles are, according to
the rules, supposed to be decidedly
The numbers have been carefully
drawn and some of the Bethel
fellows got bigger ones than others
in the recent Selective Service
Draft lottery. About 175 of the
Bethel male population were
drawn in the top 1/3 of the lot-tery
numbers. The feelings were
mixed and ranged from anger to
frustration to relief to 'what do
I do now?'
On Monday evening, December
8, all the Bethel men that were
included in the top 1/3 of the
numbers were invited to a meet-ing
to discuss what the lottery
would mean to them particularly
as a Christian. The discussion was
also to give them an opportunity
to ask questions about the lottery
and what it is like to be in the
armed forces.
Pastor Maurice Lawson invited
Col. Knight, state Director of Sel-ective
Service, to come to the
meeting to answer any questions
that might arise but because of
an intensive briefing going on in
regard to the lottery on the state
level he was unable to attend. It
is Pastor Lawson's a nd Col.
Knight's hope that another meet-ing
can be arranged in the next
couple of weeks.
Tom Getsch, former Bethel stu-dent
now serving actively in the
Navy, attended the meeting to ex-press
his concern for the attitude
of the Christian in the Armed
Forces. He expressed his own feel-short
of the opinions of the writer
and the editors, but—in my hum-ble
opinion, it was one of the best
games I've seen in a long while.
I had to come a little late to the
game and when I arrived in the
second quarter it appeared as
though the news of this game
might well be in the bottom corner
of the back page because the score
was Bethel 3 and Mac 18. I'm
sorry I doubted because things
started to happen and so did the
score. Just as the half was nearing
Bethel displayed a seemingly mi-ings
in regard to his experience
in the Navy when he said, "It was
a rough experience at the start
but now I can say it was highly
beneficial." He challenged the fel-lows
concerned to accept what
ever may happen as the leading
of God and also as an opportunity
and an experience to benefit from.
Harvey Frye, a Bethel student
and a 22 year Marine drill sar-gent
veteran, answered many ques-tions
as to what really happens
in boot camp and he also gave
some good information on how to
get beneficial training while in
the service. He explained and em-phasized
the importance of a "clear
contract" and not depending upon
the verbal promises of a recruit-ment
Director Knight felt there is
definitely no need to panic and
he strongly advised that students
retain their deferrment status. No
assurance can be given, according
to Knight, because area quotas
will still have to be met and if a
particular area has no one with a
number below 300 then the fellow
with number 301 will be called.
Pastor Lawson emphasized the
importance of getting the facts
first and then, making a decision
after those facts are in and weigh-ed.
"No one knows the future,"
says Lawson. "There are too many
variables." And the draft lottery
is just another variable in the
life of the men of Bethel and Am-erica.
raculous change because the ball
started moving our way, the bas-kets
were being used for some-thing
other than ornaments on a
glass backboard and the team was
looking a little threatening. When
the half time horn sounded Bethel
had crept up to 12 and Mac to 25.
The second half was really a
game to watch and cheer for be-cause
the score was soon evened
out and kept that way for the last
12 minutes of the game. I can't
give you a play by play because
anyone who has ever been sitting
near me at a game knows that I
yell and scream to much to get all
the fine points down. I very clearly
remember some fine ball stealing
by our guys, also some nice ball
handling and good team work. I
think they must have made the
Scotties a little uncomfortable with
some of their close guarding but
then I vaguely remember some
times when we felt a little dis-comfort
being applied by the
As those last few seconds ticked
off on the clock the score remained
tied and the first overtime was
started. Mac made the first basket
and then managed to hold that
ball for what seemed to me like
an eternity when suddenly Dan
Larson did what you read about
in other sports copy but never
in your own, he dropped the ball
through that basket as the horn
was blowing and the game went
into a second overtime. The se-cond
overtime was ours and such
a fine display of ball handling
as I have never seen. (I had a
front row seat right at our basket.)
We were up, we were tied but in
the last overtime we were never
down and the one final shot in
the last few seconds gave us a
victory of 50-48 over Macalecter
Dan Larson managed to swing
20 big points through the rim
with freshman John Peterson
bringing up 8 points. Andy Feld-man,
Jim Delich, and Jack Hoehl
all pounded out seven a piece and
Tim Weko didn't leave without
making a point too.
Coach Trager's boys gave the
cheering crowd somthing to re-member
and for all of us that
were at the game it was a thriller
that will be talked about for a
long time. A couple more opinions
—I thought the cheerleading was
terrific and the crowd was great.
If the noise made at that game is
any indication of the kind of year
the basketball team is going to
have, we better start building
a bigger and better trophy case
because it's going to be a winner,
in my humble opinion.

We might not like Christ
were he on earth today
Although at Christmas time its nice to read poetry and the King
James version, remembering fondly that starry night two thousand years
ago when God's plan for the salvation of our souls became reality,
perhaps to obtain full appreciation of what happened we should put
away a portion of our sentimentality, and look at Christ and his life in
its historical context.
First of all to Christ's family and their close circle of friends, Christ
was somewhat of "doubtful" child—not quite illegitimate, but . . . Well,
let's face it who of us would believe a young unwed mother who said
that God was the father of her child. Of course, we all know that this
is true, but put yourself in the context of that time—or even this. To
say the least, it would strike us as rather strange.
But as the years of childhood passed, I'm sure that this factor became
some what obscured as Joseph showed no outward hesitation in making
Mary his wife and Christ grew physically, mentally, emotionally and
socially as any normal child did and does. The Bible doesn't say much
about Christ's childhood, but it is probably safe to assume that it was no
different from the childhood of any other child, since he was anonymous
'til later life.
The scriptures do, however, mention Christ's youth, and that should
be somewhat of a comfort to today's youth—and parents too for that
matter—to know that all did not go smoothly between Christ and his
parents. Christ exhibited the same quest for independence that youth
today do. Remember the incident at the temple. Instead of returning with
the folks, Christ decided to stay and look into what he considered more
important things. I'm sure at the time, except for pondering over his
strange explanation, which in itself is not an unusual thing for parents
to do, Mary exclaimed at the irresponsibility of this youth—probably
even feeling a little relief that the child who had such a mysterious be-ginning
was turning out to be quite normal.
Christ continued to grow and mature and eventually took over his
father's trade as a carpenter. But at this point the conventionality of
Christ's life seems to evaporate. There really is no explanation, but sud-denly
we see Christ not as a carpenter, but as a "leader of the people"
—in a role probably not too dissimilar to that of the late Martin Luther
King. This turn of events in Christ's life was no doubt quite puzzling and
disturbing to his family and friends. The oldest son in the family, in-stead
of assuming the responsibility suddenly takes off roaming around
the country side, supporting neither his family nor himself. And Mary in
the typical role of the mother continually appearing begging him to
come home again. How familiar the story sounds.
So you see, although Christ was God, he was human too. I think
that we should take the halo off his head, for a lot of the things that
he did were not agreed with in his day. Most stable members of the
community probably saw him as somewhat of a renegade, and let's face
it, some of the things he did we would not agree with either, if he were
to do them now. Christ was disliked not because he did good, but be-cause
he was strange and did not conform. He threatened the social and
theological norms of his day. Maybe this would be a good point to re-member
as we open our mouths in criticism of young social revolution-aries
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO illEAN?"
that spiritual discontent is closely
tied in with the loneliness bit
which seems to tragically dominate
this "community."
The solution suggested concern-ed
the initiation of inter-dorm ac-tivities
to provide opportunities
for knowing, trusting, loving . . ."
Someone suggested that solutions
depend on "individual revelation,"
because there are as many kinds
Of solutions as individual spiritual
unrests; that spiritual discontent
is good because it indicates a trend
of individual seeking of his way
to relate to the Trinity. Too many
of us are trying to be Jesus-people
when we are really searching to be
God-people or Spirit-people.
It was suggested that more con-crete
suggestions be made i n
Chapel to help individuals find
his way. On the other end of the
spectrum was this classic remark;
"We need stiffer entrance require-ments.
Too many non-Christians
are at Bethel and create the un-rest."
(Need I editorialize on this
conservatism from the lips of one
of our loving saints of tomorrow?)
A more practical, realistic ap-proach
came in the present forma-tion
of small "churches" where
students meet for real talking,
sharing etc. in parks, apartments,
etc. for greater reality and less
"entertainment." (Good for occa-sional
"mountain-top" etc. but sad-ly
unsatisfying when members blur
the original focal point of Christ).
S000 . . . Results? They are yours
to digest.
The second area was explored
through this question: "What do
you feel is the solution to eliminat-ing
grade pressures?" Answers?
Take your choice!
—Study harder (comic relief?)
—Choose a less competitive
—Incorporate a subjective teach-er
evaluation of student mo-tivation
as part of "grade."
—Realize there are those more
intelligent and work to full
individual capacity.
—Eliminate grades — institute
pass-fail, with emphasis on
—Independent studies pull grade
pressures down to level of
—Trusting grades to God 100%.
(no comment)
The third area for consideration:
"How do these prejudices (racial,
faculty-student, cliques, liberal vs.
conservative Christian) affect your
personal relationships and what
are your solutions?"
General concensus of opinion
was that these prejudices do exist,
do affect inter-personal relation-ships
(obviously), do have a solu-tion.
Get ready — here we go.
The solution lies in encouraging
us to look at ourselves (such as
put forth in Dean Gordon John-son's
Monday sessions and those
preceding . . . ) honestly, realis-tically,
admit what is there or not
there, understand and accept what
is there in ourselves and others.
Living together in real love,
promoted by more contact between
groups (more races on campus,
deeper student-teacher relation-ships
— as will be explored during
interim—, campus social events
etc. etc. etc.) Daring to be vulner-able
to others and to Christ's
moving. What did I say? " T o
Christ's moving????" Does this
mean all of us? Jesus-people, God-people
and Spirit-people???
Well, there it is — for thought
— for your consumption or what-ever

Opinions expressed in the CLARION do
not necessarily reflect the position of the
college or seminary.
To the editor:
A survey was taken here re-cently
to supplement material for
a speech project exploring three
main areas of unrest on Bethel's
campus. The three areas concerned
were: 1) spiritual unrest 2) unrest
due to grade pressures and 3) pre-judicial
pressures causing unrest
in interpersonal relationships.
The presentation of these areas,
through a panel discussion, gen-erated
such concern and discus-sion
that it was felt by all con-cerned
that they should be pub-lished
in the Clarion for general
campus consumption and (hope-fully)
The first question to be con-sidered,
as posed by the survey,
was: "Do you feel there is spiritual
unrest on Bethel's campus?" A
simple yes-no question. 80% re-plied
yes, 1% no and 1% respond-ed
with "I hope so!" (A step in
the right direction?) Elaborations
were many and varied. Some felt

A delegation of twenty-six
speakers drove to the Stout State
campus on Saturday morning to
enter into speaking competition

Amusing her audience once again
was Sheri Lindvall in After-dinner
speaking as she spoke on
the importance of personal hon-esty.
Miss Lindvall placed second
in the tournament.
Marg Erickson won a second
place in an event entitled Rhetor-ical
Criticism in which she did an
oral critique of a speech by Louis

analysis the authorities of Soc-rates,
Aristotle, Cicero, and Quin-tilian.

Editor's note: The following are impressions of Christmas by
fifth graders from the Como Park Elementary School.
by Judy Jones
One Christmas night in a house there were three children, they
were good children. But there was another family and all the children
but one was good. The goodest child was 8 years old. She believes in
Santa Clause. She loves animals and trees she love everybody. Her
sisters and brothers didn't like her because she was always good and
on Christmas she gets toys and she takes care of her dolls. Her friends
Ekes her because she's nice to them. She shares her toys and candy.
But she wishes that her sisters and brothers could love her like she
loves them.
by Robert Hicks
I like Christmas because you get lots of toys. And then you play
with them. Sametimes your friend get jealous. My friends aren't like
that. Every Christmas Santa Clause brings everyone nice toys to play with
and clothing to wear.
Santa should feel right at home here — maybe the Hagstrom
girls double as his elves.
The idea is to open the door for her, not block her exit.

and after convincing him that you'd be truly interested in reading
them, he let me print a few for you.
Dear Santa,
Could you please send, by my way, the following gifts:
1. A doll for my little sister
2. A doll for me
3. A doggy for our family
4. A new turtle for Marleen
5. A yo-yo for Billy
6. A German boy for Nancy
7. A Toupe' for Gene Glader
8. A VW for Jerry Healy
9. A gallon guage for Dave Berry
10. A good meal for Dave Waite.
Thanks from us,

Dear Santa,
We want a Saint Bernard puppy for Christmas.

p.s. Thank you,
ps. Please be careful coming down the chimney. I hope you've lost
weight since last year. Remember what happened that time!
Dear Santa,
Thank you for the horse you brought last year. We agreed to
keep it a secret and I haven't told Mom but this year maybe you
could bring a barn for him. The bedroom is getting kind of crowded.
Your partner in crime,
Dear Santa,
Could you reach way down in the bottom of your bag this year
and come up with a timed ejector that would throw me out of bed
every day next semester in time for first hour? Dr. Rogers will probably
need one too, only include some prepared lectures for him too. (He has
had trouble with them in the past.)
Dr. Roger's little helper
Dear Santa,
I'm writing now just to let you know I am thinking of you, but
I'll send my list of requests around Easter time. You should have more
time to complete my order then, right?
Polly Perfect
Santa informed me when he gave me these letters, that he would
do his best to fulfill every request he got. He also said "thanks for
writing." Those who didn't write, eat your hearts out!!
No, Mr. Fagerson, this
wouldn't fit in your
living room.
Dear Santa,
I've been very lonesome since my pet cricket died last October.
He used to crick me to sleep every night. Do you have any big black
crickets under that pile of trash in the back of your toy shop? Could
you also furnish a leash for him. My last cricket died of clostrophobia
in the little jar I kept him in.
I sure hope you can help me, Santa Claus. I might believe in you
again if you give me a nice big black cricket for Christmas.
Your potential admirer,
Paul Nordell
Dear Santa,
Please send me $50 for pre-registration, and four extra weeks to
get all this studying done! !
Joe Scholar
Dear Santa,
I have been a good boy all this year. Well, my momy says I was
bad some of the tyme. I guess I do remember a bunch of tymes I was
bad. Now that I think about it, maybee you should just forget about
it for this year. I have been relli rotten all year. May-bee next year
I will be a good boy.
Dear Santa,
We need: One new refrigerator
Two new towel racks
Three diamond rings (one roomie already has one)
Four more closets
Five rolls of T.P. (Nydegger stole all the rest)
Six times more living space
Seven pretty glasses (we broke all but one)
and A partridge in a pear tree!

Dear Santa,
Please provide a dictionary with all Mr. Mauger's tests next semester,
so I can understand what I'm flunking.
A Nervous Breakdown
Dear Santa,
I have been a very good little girl this year. I have not been dis-owned,
expelled or excommunicated for anything. Therefore, I feel you
should give me at least one of the two presents that I'm asking for.
(I really deserve both.)
1. A round trip place ticket to Japan plus $500 for spending money.
2. A $2,000 scholarship, so I can stay at Bethel.
Love and Kisses,
Marji Sorley
Dear Santa,
I need your help. Do you think that I could ask one big favor of
you? Then you wouldn't have'ta give me anything else.
See, I once had a puppy named Heidi, and well, she got taken
away to a farm. Well, if you could sort of put a puppy in my Christmas
stocking I'd be so grateful!! I'd be even good for the rest of the year.
Oh, Santa, I'll leave some cookies for you too. I just hope that
dumb old bear doesn't get'um.
Dearest Santa,
Same as last year, only make him a year older and an inch taller!
Dear Mr. Santa Clause,
I don't know if you remember or not, but I talked to you yesterday
in Social Problems Class. This is just to remind you that I want a
Red Rider B-B pistol and I haven't changed my mind. Say hi to Mrs.
Clause. I know she is easily forgotten.
Your good good buddy,

What if you're listening to the Beatles' album, Abbey Road (second
side) and you hear:
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
(and I say) "It's all right."
It's been a long cold lonely winter
It feels like years since it's been here
The smiles returning to their faces
Sun, sun, sun Here it comes
I feel that ice is slowly melting.
I know the exuberance of a sunrise, but this sounds like more than an
ordinary dawn.
The second song:
Because the world is round it turns me on.
Because the wind is high it blows my mind.
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue it makes me cry.
Here the ecstatic cliches of the drug scene are applied in both their
metaphorical and literal senses not to an escape from this world (a drug
trip) but to a joyous acceptance of it. What is it that opens the eyes to
this great big beautiful world? Love is all: love is you (dear reader).
But from the haunting beauty of "Because" there is a shift to
the next song. The peace has been replaced by frustration:
You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper.
And in the middle of negotiations you break down.
The situation is bleak:
Out of college, money spent.
See no future, pay no rent.
All the money's gone, nowhere to go.
But discovering that there is nowhere to go suddenly becomes:
Oh that magic feeling, nowhere to go.
And then there is someplace to go; and watch where it is that the
sweet chariot will carry you. Up until now, reality has been counterfeit
("funny paper"), but now the dream has come true:
One sweet dream, pack up the bags and get in the limousine.
Soon we'll be away from here.
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away.
One sweet dream came true today.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, All good children go to heaven.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, All good children go to heaven. As that
last line is repeated several times and slowly fades out, you hear the
sound of crickets and the delicate tinkling of bells and you see Jesus
saying that you must become as a little child to enter the kingdom of
The crickets carry over into the next song, almost like an afterimage.
The sun has come back, but this time it comes triumphant. It's like
you're already in heaven:
Here comes the Sun King
Here comes the Sun King
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's happy
Here comes the Sun King
And then it breaks out into macaronies describing his love for the Son
in many tongues.
From this high point the rest of the side struggles through various
attempts to put out the sun. There is Mean Mr. Mustard who "keeps a
ten bob note up his nose" and there's his sister Polythene Pam who
dresses up in many costumes and looks suspiciously like the church.
One line goes, "Yes, you could say she was attractively built." You
sure could.
If it helps to see Polythene Pam as the church, does the next song
make sense?
She came in through the Bathroom Window
Protected by a silver spoon.
But now she sucks her thumb and wonders
By the banks of her own lagoon.
Didn't anybody tell her? Didn't anybody see?
Sundays on the phone to Monday, Tuesdays on the phone to me.
And so I quit the Police Department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob.
If you think about that one, you will feel like the next one:
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time.
And in the middle of this song there is a flashback to the third song
("You Never Give Me Your Money"):
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations I break down.
Finally, in the next song, he does give his pillow and as the dream
imagery returns we remember that last time he found himself with
"nowhere to go" and then the dream came true:
Oh yeah, all right
Are you gonna be
In my dreams tonight?
If you listen carefully in the middle of the song you can hear in the
background, chanting over and oved:
Love Him, love you
Love Him, love you
When one obeys the two great commandments, the result is:
And in the end
The love you take is
Equal to the love
You make.
Then there is a long pause and y-ou think the record is over, but
in walks what must be Polythene Pam dressed up like the Queen (who
is the head of the Church of England, you know):
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day.
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a belly full of wine.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm gonna make her mine.
Maybe that's what we finally have to do — accept the church. Or maybe
the speaker in the last song is the bridegroom talking about his bride:
Someday I'm gonna make her mine. Personally, I don't like to read
things into silly songs, but what if the title is ABBEY ROAD and the
cover picture shows the Beatles on a CROSS walk?
Church leaders
jointly support
draft resistors
CPS—Church leaders in the U.S.
and Canada have joined to co-operate
in helping U.S. draft re-sisters
in Canada.
Leaders of the National Council
of Churches and the Canadian
Council of Churches, in a joint
statement, said, "We must not
abondon them (the resisters) in
their hour of critical need .. .
We should continue to honor that
traditional liberty of conscience."
The cooperation is to be through
financial aid and counseling. How-ever,
the statement does not in-clude
counseling men still in the
U.S. on how to escape to Canada
to avoid the draft, as that is
illegal. One spokesman said, "That
would be up to the individual
pastors. Some would do it, some
would not."
New policy made
on sale of books
Bethel Bookstore is joining the
University Stores as the vanguard
of higher prices being paid to
students for used books. Mr. Rob-ert
E. Bergerud, Bethel Bookstore
Manager, announced the new poli-cy
to his staff at their recent staff
The policy of the vast majority
of campus stores across the nation
has been to pay 50% of the new
price for a used text book. The
clothbounds have then been resold
for 75% of the new price. Bethel
Bookstore's policy has been to
rebuy both cloth and paperbacks
if they were in decent condition
and had been reordered. However,
paperbacks were bought back at
a high 1/3 and sold at the low end
of 2/3s, while clothbounds were
bought at 50% and sold at 75%.
The new policy is that the re-sale
price to the students will re-main
the same-75% for a cloth-bound
and 66% for a paperback.
However, the price paid to the
student for his used book will go
to 60% on the clothbounds and to
the low side of 50% for paper-backs.

While Studying For A History Mid-Term For Doc: A Sonnet
The immaculate sky is flawed blue hued
And bound by clouds of ribbons. Here green walls,
Punctuated by windows full of blued,
Of oak-striped, slash slatted sky. There are calls
No one hears though the phone, whining its tones,
Sighs and abruptly . . . No one notices
When the door hits itself, almost, and groans
For the careless passage, studious misses,
Of all the "you"s and all the "I"s. The sky
Is changing; is it a new or a yet?
Clean grey and dirty white; I shut my eyes
And my coat; the sun? the moon? Have two met?
I shiver (shudder?), catch my breath and hold
To warm it and it, I. The night is cold.

I decided on today
But today I have decided only that
Yesterday is gone.

College choir tour heads to Florida
by Chuck Myrbo
I get along with most words; some better than others, of
course, and some hardly at all, but I get along with most.
And one word I am at war with. I have exiled it from my vocabu-lary
and if I had the power I would ban it from everyone
else's. Every time it pops its ugly head up in a conversation
(even one I'm just walking past) I get the urge to smash it.
It's the word "weird."
Weird. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as
an adjective meaning "of an odd and inexplicable character;
unusual; strange; fantastic." As long as it means that, and
nothing more, I have no quarrel with it. There is an honest
use of the word. In the movie "Alice's Restaurant," Arlo
Guthrie leans against a window in a hospital room and says
(about war and the draft, I think), "It's weird, man." Meaning:
it doesn't make sense. Used that way, the word is legitimate.
But it is not usually used that way. It is usually used as
a sort of ultimate comment on something, given offhandedly
to reduce that something to manageability. "He's weird." "That
music is weird." "The book? It was weird." Used that way,
it means, first of all, of course, that the thing in question is
unusual, different. But it goes beyond that. It also means
that because that thing is different, it is somehow suspect,
somehow inferior.
There are two ways of approaching something new, two
ways of preparing to react: "Ah, an adventure!" or "I don't
think I'm going to like this." Whatever the expectations, they
are likely to be fulfilled. "Wow, that's far out!" or "That's
weird." There's a world of difference.
Weird. Meaning: It doesn't fit into what I see as the
norm, so I assume that it is not only outside those norms but
also somehow below them, not just different but abnormal as
well. And it is not the nature of the difference which makes
that which is different suspect, but simply the fact that there
is a difference.
Now if I say all that (That is different; I don't like things
that are different; I don't like that.) I sound, perish the
thought, narrow-minded. But I don't have to say it. I can turn
those awkward jumps into one smooth leap by saying, "It's
weird." And if whoever I'm talking to has the same set of
norms that I do (and he always does, of course) he'll say,
"Yeah, weird." and we can turn the conversation to maybe the
weather or something, having easily dismissed another chal-lenge
to our complacency.

"The Future of Consevatism" by
M. Stanton Evans.
When political reality begins to
coincide with political prophecy,
the prophet must be reckoned a
man worth listening to. In 1967
M. Stanton Evans analyzed the
political position and practical fu-ture
of conservatism in American
politics. He predicted that in few-er
years than most political writers
would agree to, the influence of
the conservative voters would
bring about the election of a Re-publican
president and a vice-president
acceptable to the South.

the choir will perform its Home-coming
Concert at 8:00 the next
night in Bethel's Fieldhouse. Two
additional performances of the
program will be presented i n
early February at the Southwest
High School and the First Baptist
Church in Minneapolis.
The featured work of the con-certs
is the "Christmas Cantata"
supporting subplots include June's
personal struggle, her relation-ships
with the "maid" Childe and
BBC official Mrs. Croft, the Childe/
Mrs. Croft development plus the
overt comic interludes with Ma-dame
Xenia. The Aldrich script
struggles with identity as Miss
Buckridge/Sister George alternate
between one and two personalities.
Childe attempts individuality but
remains a pawn and although Mrs.
Croft appears self sufficient, she
too is controlled by the BBC and
her personal desires. Madame Xen-ia

A significant exhibition, Rem-brandt
After Three Hundred Years,
will be coming to the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts on December 23
and continue through February 1.
The exhibition is comprised of
21 paintings and 48 drawings by
Rembrandt and 72 paintings and
64 drawings of his most outstand-ing
followers. Some of the works
included were once attributed to
Rembrandt and are now assigned
to his pupils. Loans come from
public and private collections in
the United States, Canada and
western Europe, as well as Poland
and Czechoslovakia.
This will be the major United
States exhibition organized in com-memoration
of the three hun-dredth
anniversary of Rembrandt's
death on October 4. By bringing
together works by Rembrandt, as
well as by his most accomplished
followers, the exhibition will give
the viewer an opportunity to see
the genius of Rembrandt, his in-fluence
as a teacher and his ex-traordinary
impact on the artist
or his time.
Anthony M. Clark, Director of
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts,
states, "The exhibition will be es-pecially
exciting in having not
only secured masterpieces by the
world's greatest painter' but beau-tiful
work in his manner by his
best pupils, much of it for cen-turies
attributed to Rembrandt
himself, and only in recent years
properly identified. The public will
be able to see in richness, not
only the great creator at work,
but how he influenced and in-spired
important and receptive ar-tists."
The exhibition was organized by
The Art Institute of Chicago in
cooperation with The Detroit In-stitute
of Arts and The Minnea-polis
Institute of Arts. An exhi-bition
committee of distinguished
Rembrandt scholars with Charles
C. Cunningham, Director of The
Art Institute of Chicago, acting as
chairman, worked for two years
on the selection of the works.
Public guided tours of the ex-hibition
will be offered Tuesday,

The Column
by Tim Weko
Some of you might have noticed, after the last three basketball
games, that Gordon Nordmark, starter in the four previous games, has
not even suited up. The reason is that Gordy is not eligible. The NAIA
handbook states that to be eligible a student must:
"Accumulate a total of 24 credit hours in the two terms of atten-dance
immediately preceding the term of partictpation, except
that the second term student, i.e. freshmen, must have passed
12 credit hours in his first term of attendance. I shall be under-stood
that the total of 24 credit hours in an average of 12 credit
hours earned during the two immediately preceding terms of
attendance, and does not stipulate the number of hours that need
be earned in either term."
This fact was overlooked by everyone until the registrar pointed
out that Gordy was short some of the necessary credits for eligibility.
This means that since he played in Bethel's first four games, these games
must be forfeited. However, he will be available to play as soon as first
semester ends, December 19.
The Attack of the Pink-faced Tenny-runners Part II
Lying on the floor of his 10th floor office was Carl Cob (the late,

He was a plain faced, straight-razor,—well, you get the picture: he was
Mr. Average, who could blend into a crowd in a single bound, and he
sure looked slower than a locomotive. There was something strange
about him, however, if you looked closely at his feet—he was wearing
pink-faced sneakers (with green soles—they're very in, you know). He
was also earring a smoking pistol (no, it's not smoking pot, stupid) in
his right hand. He looked left and right before crossing the street and
then ran over to a bookstore which had a sign over the door that said:

Anyway, keep the Christ in Christmas: and remember peace on

In the first of two games last
weekend the Royals battled Lake-head
and came out on the short
side of a 57-56 thriller.
Bethel mounted a 6-0 lead on a
pair of baskets by Jack Hoel, a
bucket by Andy Feldman, and a
free throw by Tim Weko. Lakehead
came back however, and outscored
the Royals over the next few min-utes
to take a 15-11 advantage.
Bethel got within one point, at
17-16 but then Lakehead got three
quick baskets for a 23-16 lead.
With 2:59 remaining in the half,
the score was 25-21.
Moments later Jim Delich hit
Dan Larson with a length of the
court pass and Larson drove in for
the easy layup. Larson then stole
the ball and hit Kelich on a
breakaway to knot the score at
25 a piece. With about four sec-onds
left Tim Weko popped in an
eight foot jump shot to make
Bethel's halftime advantage 29-25.
Tim Weko opened the second
half with a bucket to boost the
margin to 31-25. Lakehead came
roaring back though and tied the
game at 39-39 with 12:49 on the
clock. They scored the next three
baskets to grab a 45-39 lead.
With 9:13 remaining, Louis
Vaughn, one of Lakehead's leading
rebounders, committed his fifth
foul and left the game.
Weko made both charity tosses
to cut the gap to 47-43. Two min-utes
later a rebound basket by
Andy Feldman tied the game 49-
49. Lakehead regained the six
point spread 56-50 but the Royals
wouldn't crumble.
Jim Delich worked his way
through the middle and hit Feld-man
for an easy bucket underneath
the basket. Weko hit two more
free throws to cut the deficit to
two, and a ten footer by Feldman
with 2:14 left evened the score
at 56-56.
With five seconds left Lakehead
gained possession of the ball and
called time out. Bob Jackson took
the ball on the in bounds pass,
drove inside and scooped the ball
toward the basket. Tim Weko made
what appeared to be a clean block
of the shot, but the back court
official saw it differently and cal-.
led a foul. Jackson hit his first
free throw, and that was the ball
game 57-56.
Andy Feldman netted 16 points
to pace the Royal offense. Tim
Weko pumped in 14, Jim Delich
chipped in 8.

We are a smaller law firm located in Albuquerque, NM and we are looking for a logo design to place on the web, stationary, business cards, and really anything else we come up with.
Our target audience would be anyone in our local area that needs legal help in our area of expertise.
We are looking for a logo design that gives a little character to our name even though it does have five names in it. We have found a few that we like and those will be attached, but we are also looking for a logo bug to be attached to our new logo that will be recognizable even if the names change in the future. We are not stuck with any colors but you can see our site at http://www.allenlawnm.com and get a feeling of the colors we are using for the web.

Terrebonne and Lafourche are poised to benefit from gains in the state's chemical industry, head of the Louisiana Chemical Association told local industry leaders.
Terrebonne and Lafourche are poised to benefit from gains in the state's chemical industry, head of the Louisiana Chemical Association told local industry leaders.
Dan Borne, who is also president of the Louisiana Chemical Industry Alliance, spoke Monday to the Bayou Industrial Group's monthly luncheon at Bayou Country Club.
Borne graduated from Thibodaux High and is better known as the "Voice of Tiger Stadium."
"Five years ago, I would have been up here to tell you the petrochemical industry in Louisiana was on its way out. We were shipping jobs overseas."
Borne said natural gas prices were "through the ceiling" making chemical plants that use gas uncompetitive.
"It was too expensive to do what we do because we use natural gas like a bakery shop uses flour," he said.
But technological advances "unlocked" domestic gas reserves, creating a glut in supply that has sent the price tumbling in recent years. That enabled chemical manufacturers in the state to "kneecap" foreign competition, he said.
"Now instead of shipping jobs overseas, companies that went overseas years ago are dismantling plants and shipping them back here," Borne said.
He used the example of Methanex relocating two plants from Chile to Geismar.
"(Methanex) is taking those plants down pump by pump, pipe by pipe, rivet by rivet, putting it on a ship and sending it to Geismar, La., where it is going to spend half a billion dollars to make methanol: a chemical we thought would never be made in the United States because of the price of natural gas," he said.
Borne said Lafourche and Terrebonne stand to benefit.
"The key problem we have is people," Borne said. "You name it, we are going to need it."
Borne said $60 billion in capital investments in the coming years will require 40,000 new pipe-fitters, welders, instrumentation experts and other workers.
Borne said the partnership Nicholls State University has with community and technical schools will open opportunities for high-paying jobs as the chemical industry expands.
"More than $90,000 a year, that is the average," he said. "Some pay $120,000, some pay $70,000, but I don't know anyone who is going to blink at a $70,000 a year job coming out of a two=year curriculum."
Borne said though Houma-Thibodaux doesn't have a significant chemical infrastructure, the industry creates support jobs.
After a Terrebonne Economic Development Authority trip to Panama this year, there was talk of Houma-Terrebonne exporting liquified natural gas.
But David Dismukes, associate director of the LSU Center for Energy Studies, said in a March interview that such an operation would require an investment ranging from $5 billion to $10 billion. That is unlikely, he said given existing exporting infrastructure in western parishes.

Native Flowering Dogwood
Nothing is prettier in the sparse spring woods than the white clouds of dogwood gleaming through the tender green haze of new leaves. Dogwoods grow in fertile, moist areas in open woods and along roadsides. We have pockets of them up here on the mountain. You can see them from afar. Summer dogwood fruit is eaten by about 40 species of birds and the flower buds are eaten by squirrels and birds like turkey, ruffed grouse, bobwhite, and pheasant. Double click on the photo to open it up. It is a lovely flower.

Special Needs Friendly Screenings
Special Needs Friendly Screenings are designed for children, adults and their family and friends.
We have been told by many parents that they find going to a public show difficult as some children (and adults) with special needs have sensory sensitivities to sound and light; they may also disturb other cinemagoers by making noise or needing to go out for a break; parent's words not ours.
For Special Needs Friendly Screenings the soundtrack is turned down a little and the house lights remain on low in the auditorium. If anyone makes a noise or moves around then that is absolutely fine!
This is something that is now a regular part of the programme at Wells Film Centre with around 10 screenings a year mainly, in school holidays, and you can find details of upcoming screening below as they are announced.
These screenings are already very well supported and if you think they would benefit you then please come along.
Of course ALL are welcome whatever creed, colour, race, disability or non disability to ALL our performance's; we are a totally inclusive cinema to ALL.
No performances found - please check back

Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
Just in case you weren't already pumped for John Dies at the End, there's this insane new trailer. Although, why weren't you already pumped? It's based on the mind-boggling novel by Cracked's David Wong, and the film is directed by Bubba Ho-Tep's Don Coscarelli, with a cast that includes Paul Giamatti. Early buzz is really great, too. So you're kind of behind the curve if you're only just getting stoked. In any case, this new trailer includes some great glimpses of action, some bizarre weapons, a taste of what it's like to be on the bizarre drug Soy Sauce, and a large quantity of great one-liners. And a heaping dose of weirdness. Deal. Closed.
John Dies at the End is available on VOD on Dec. 27, and then in theaters in January.

Arsenal target Blaise Matuidi has revealed he's flattered by speculation linking him with a move to England.
The French international has been linked with a handful of clubs in the Barclays Premier League, with Newcastle the latest club to join Liverpool and the Gunners in their interest.
Arsene Wenger is known to be a long-term admirer of the 24-year-old central midfielder, and the Arsenal target admitted his delight at being linked with an England switch.
"I am flatered by the interest from clubs abroad, and I have always loved the Premier League," he said.
"It is the best league in the world, so exicting, and I really want to be part of that one day, however St Etienne has its say about that."
Less than a week ago, St Etienne president Roland Romeyer told Arsenal and other suitors that they would have to play £13.2 million, with additional add-ons also thought to be needed as part of the deal.
"The right fee is €15million (£13.2m). We will not discuss anything lower," Romeyer told The Progress.
The Arsenal boss confirmed back in May that he would look to spend money this summer, promising to add players in the transfer window should the 'right' type of player be available to the Emirates outfit.
A midfielder is thought to be high on the agenda, with Denilson tipped to make a north London exit and the futures remaining uncertain for Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri at Arsenal.
Douglas Costa, Gokhan Inler and Yann M'Vila have all been speculatively mentioned alongside the Gunners in recent weeks, and a move for one player in the position seems imminent for Arsenal after Ivan Gazidis confirmed the manager would be backed in the market.

It sometimes seems that those of us who write cocktail blogs are especially prone to following similar lines of booze-soaked thinking. I sometimes think it must be some sort of collective-subconscious inspired in part by our prodigious drinking habits...
Case in point - I embarked upon this post with the aim of writing about a certain pair of Tiki cocktails of which I am rather fond when, hey presto, I check my blog reader to see that Tiare - the fabulously-talented mixologist from A Mountain of Crushed Ice - has beat me to the punchbowl as it were. Her research & descriptions of those classic cocktails, the Dr. Funk and Funk's Son specifically, are both spot-on and well-done (as always). That she prepared the drinks in a pair of beautifully-executed ice towers (!), makes her post an incredibly hard act to follow. Nevertheless, I'll make an attempt to contribute something to the topic of the inestimable Doctor Funk...
In my recent and fairly long-winded vacation recap, I mentioned a number of spirits I had acquired in my travels. One of these was a French Pastis flavored with Violets - an interesting spirit of 45% ABV which reminds me considerably of a combination of the best elements of both Herbsaint and Crème de Violette. After getting a feel for its strength & (very) pleasant flavor, I began searching for a use for the stuff in cocktails. Despite a few marginal successes with some recipes from the Savoy cocktail book, the savory use of Absinthe/Pastis as an addition to many of Tiki barman Donn Beach's libations continued to spring to mind...
One of the finest examples of this modifier is the good Samoan doctor's cocktail, which Trader Vic speculated was originally invented to cure the cathard (the loss of ones' mind from the heat). After a bit of experimentation with the various recipes for the original, alongside a variety of substitutions for different ingredients, I settled with a riff on the (slightly-simplified) Dr. Funk recipe which Jeff "Beachbum" Berry prepared for an episode of The Cocktail Spirit filmed at the close of this year's Tales of the Cocktail. Maybe there is something to this boozy collective-subconscious thing after all? In any case, here she is, a very funky libation named after an old song by another hard act to follow - Bad Manners (©):
Only Funkin'
1½ oz. flavorful white Rum (Rhum Barbancourt white)
¾ Tsp. Pastis au Violette
¾ Tsp. Hibiscus Grenadine
¾ oz. fresh Lemon juice
¾ oz. Violet "Tea" Syrup (see below)
1 oz. Seltzer
2 Tsp. heavy dark Rum (Cruzan Blackstrap)
Combine all ingredients except Seltzer & dark Rum in a cocktail shaker filled with cracked ice. Shake well & strain into a chimney glass ¾-filled with crushed ice. Top with Seltzer, give a brief stir and float the dark Rum on top, adding more crushed ice if necessary. Garnish with a long twist of Lemon & an edible Violet.
Violet "Tea" Syrup
1 Cup: white Sugar
¾ Cup: Water
2½ Tablespoons: Blue Violet Herb Mix
1 Tsp. dried Hibiscus flowers, coarsely ground
Combine ingredients in a saucepan & bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for five minutes & remove from heat. Allow Violet Mixture to steep until liquid cools to room temperature before fine-straining out solids & bottling (a small tea ball/infuser will minimize this step considerably).
Can't find a Violet-flavored Pastis or get ahold of the required herbal blend? The following substitutions work fairly well & produce almost the same beverage with only marginally more work. For the Violet Pastis, a mixture of approximately 2/3 Herbsaint & 1/3 Crème de Violette is fine. For the Violet "Tea" Syrup, a 3:1 blend of Monin Violet Syrup (or an equivalent commercial syrup) with strong Green tea will more or less replicate the flavor you're seeking...
Cheers & Enjoy!

It's like you were abducted by Thomas Keller when you created this recipe. Now I know how most folks feel when they look at the exotic cocktails I write about. I'd love to make this, but totally don't see myself making the 3-4 ingredients required that I don't have :)

Thanks Chris for your kind words! but was it that you meant when you wrote " uncanny timing"?? i first didn`t know what that word meant..
But this drink here is great!
Need some ingredients..i have noticed though that the homemade Hibiscus syrup seems to more and more be a stable!
For my part i don`t want to be without the addition of Hibiscus flowers in it EVER! and i can thank you for that;-)

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today congratulated the Lincoln Arts Council (LAC) on its move to new offices in the Sowers Building at 1701 S. 17th Street, Suite 1A. The LAC will host an open house at its new location from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, January 26. The Mayor will speak at a short program planned for 6:30 p.m.
LAC Executive Director Deb Weber thanked the Lancaster County Public Building Commission for accommodating the LAC at Old City Hall at 9th and "P" streets for many years. Weber said the new location offers more space for offices and programming as well as free parking close to the building for staff and visitors. She thanked the Sowers Club, Clark Enersen Partners, Shaw Contact Group and Floors, Inc. for working with the agency on the move.
The open house will feature refreshments from Greta's Gourmet, recorded music by local artists and an exhibit of artwork by Meghan Stratman of Lincoln. Parking is available in the lots north and west of the building.
The LAC mission is "to inspire a creative community through promoting, cultivating and sustaining the arts in Lincoln." It was formed in 1968 and was designated as the City of Lincoln agency for the arts by Mayoral Executive Order in 2006. LAC-sponsored events include the Mayor's Arts Awards in June and the Lincoln Arts Festival in September. More information is available at artscene.org, which also lists arts events and programs in the community.

Richhoward84 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 40 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Edge Environment
I am an internet marketer and web developer. My latest project requires more visual flare than I am personally capable of so I am looking for a talented designer to give the site the professional touch. If things go well then I will look to use a graphic designer on all future projects.
My clients are Edge Environment: an environmental research, consultancy and education business focussing on the construction industry.
Their clients include well known brands, manufacturing companies and government organisations. We need a professional design that reflects the status of their organisation and clients.
They need a design for their landing page. It should be a crisp and professional, with a focus on clarity and readability. The site should look modern without being overly fancy.
It would be nice to see some environmental imagery reflected in the design but I think it should be subtle. They certainly wouldn't want anything cartoony or garish.
We would like the design provided in a layered psd or png. Fonts, images, etc will need to be included.
I have attached a template for how the the content of the new site should be laid out. Feel free to adjust the scale of the various elements but the basic layout of the content should not change.
Please ensure that the services and their descriptive text are fully visible on a 1024x768 display in IE, without scrolling. This means they must be displayed within the top 600px of the page (approximately).
The exception to this is the navigation area, including the logo, which you may place as you feel appropriate. The logo itself should not change in terms of colour, font etc but you may alter the scale and the position of the sphere icon in relation to the text should you wish. The phone number should remain in the rop right hand corner.
The template should not influence you in terms of colour or style - it is purely intended to provide place holders for the different content we want on the page.
Some of the items on the navigational menu will feature drop down menus. Please provide an example of how the drop down items will appear in the context of your design.
The template represents the central 'content' area of the website. The content area should not excede a width of 950px. Your design should present the content area in the context of a scalable background (even if the background you choose is plain white).
Please select appropriate images where indicated.
The following sites are representative of the kind of aesthetic style we are aiming for.
Please note that some of these sites make heavy use of flash animations or javascript to make the page more dynamic - this kind of thing would not be their style.

So soft, tender and perfect...
before the effects of sun, stress, age, diet and pollution do their worst.
It happens to all of us, while in varying degrees,
our skin,
our face
is a canvas.
Though this canvas does not always tell the story we want it to , does it?
After the single most challenging year of my life,
and believe me, it's had some competition,
and important part of moving forward is self care,
pampering me!
In this spirit, I am pleased to introduce my readers to a fabulous renewing product from the NeoStrata Exuviance line ~ Exuviance Performance Peel AP25.
While no product will return your skin to it's original, infant quality state, Exuviance Performance Peel AP 25 is scientifically designed to remove the dead and dull layers of surface skin to allow your inner beauty to shine through.
Clinical Results:
The creators of the original Glycolic Acid peel introduce a high performance peel that is safe and easy to use at home. The Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 contains a 25% blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Polyhydroxy Acids (PHA) including Glycolic Acid, Mandelic Acid and Gluconolactone. Performance Peel AP25 not only works at skin's surface to exfoliate dead, dull surface layers, it also stimulates the process of cell renewal among all layers, to reveal fresher, healthier cells. With regular use, up to twice a week, this peel has been clinically proven to:
- Refine pore size and smooth texture
- Visibly diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve clarity and brightness
- Brighten and even skin tone
- Provide an all-over healthy glow, suppleness and smoothness to skin
The Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 contains 12 peels (a 6 week supply), which can be used up to twice a week on face, backs of hands, neck, chest and body.
Clinical studies indicate that after using the Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 after one month of twice weekly use:
- 100% of users saw improvement in fine lines & wrinkles
- 94% of users saw more even skin tone, texture & radiance
Careful to follow the package directions, watching for any redness, stinging, burning or discomfort, and happily experiencing none, I tested the Exuviance Performance Peel AP 25 for six weeks. While one would think using an acid peel might be complicated and involved, the Exuviance kit was surprisingly simple!
- Wash face
- Apply Step One Activator via a pre loaded towelette, allowing 10 minutes for Activator to work
- Apply Step Two Neutralizer, again via a separately packaged, pre loaded towelette
- Apply moisturizer

Diyala's provincial governor visited local representatives of qada, or county, governments in the Muqdadiyah area at Forward Operating Base Normandy here Jan. 14.
The meeting brought Gov. Raad Rasheed Hameed al-Mullah together with the provincial directors general for essential services, including water, electricity, health, education, municipalities and oil, and their municipal counterparts. Army Maj. Nicholas Difiore, reconciliations engagement officer for the 2nd Infantry Division's 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, said the meeting gave local leaders a critical forum to voice the needs of their village to the governor. In the past, the security situation did not allow meetings like this to take place. Operation Raider Harvest, part of the countrywide Operation Phantom Phoenix, is clearing the region of al Qaeda influence and providing stability to the area, which allowed the local leaders to meet face to face, officials said. Other attending representatives were Staff Maj. Gen. Ab-Dal-Karim, Diyala Operations Command commander; Sheik Zary al-Fayaz, assistant deputy to the Diyala government council; and Muqdadiyah Mayor Najem Abdulah Ahmed. "So far we have received no support from the provincial government out here in Muqdadiyah," the mayor said through a translator. "We hope through meetings like the one held today we can improve the situation and more support will come our way in the future." During Operation Raider Harvest, coalition forces are providing security and rebuilding services for the northern Diyala River Valley. The meeting was aimed at transferring that responsibility to the Diyala provincial government. "Most of my support comes from (coalition forces), whether it is morale, finance or military," Ahmed said. "Coalition Forces continually support us with reconstruction efforts and programs throughout the qada. "What the province has offered in the past has been very little in terms of support," said he continued, "but our hopes over the next few months are that this will change, we will integrate more into the province and we will gain more support from the provincial government." Difiore agreed that Muqdadiyah had no the linkage between qada and province, attributing that to the security situation. "Now, after we have done many of these decisive operations like Raider Harvest, the security situation is improving. The technocrats feel much more comfortable traveling these roads, and now we can see that linkage between province and qada strengthening." More meetings of the Diyala provincial government and Northern Diyala River Valley qada governments are in the works. (From a Multinational Corps Iraq news release.)

MILFORD, Connecticut (Reuters) - Medical marijuana will go on sale in Connecticut by summer 2014, dispensed throughout the state by four vendors, Governor Dannel Malloy said on Tuesday.
Marijuana is illegal in the United States under federal law, but Connecticut is among 20 U.S. states and the District of Columbia that allow use of marijuana for medical purposes.
Four applicants have been chosen as the state's first-ever legitimate producers of medical marijuana to serve the needs of seriously ill patients in Connecticut, said Malloy, who appeared at a press conference along with Consumer Protection Commissioner William Rubenstein in West Haven.
The selected dispensaries are Advanced Grow Labs, LLC, in West Haven; Connecticut Pharmaceutical Solutions, LLC, in Portland; Curaleaf, LLC, in Simsbury, and Theraplant, LLC, in Watertown.
Nearly 1,700 patients have been certified so far for the state's medical marijuana program, Malloy said.
The governor in 2012 signed the law to allow licensed physicians to prescribe medicinal marijuana for adults suffering from certain debilitating diseases or medical conditions.

Two More Alleged Counterfeiters Pinched
Several Witnesses Said to Have Seen Men With Molds and Other Necessary

Two More Alleged Counterfeiters Pinched
Several Witnesses Said to Have Seen Men With Molds and Other Necessary Materials.
Jack Wilson, the head of the counterfeiting gang operating in the coal fields, was arrested by Cyrus Thompson, of the Baldwin-Felts detectives, yesterday. Thompson lay in the woods nearly all day and at a late hour yesterday afternoon he saw his man and captured him. Earlier in the day Coopoer Leonard, a brother of N. M. Leonard who was arrested the previous day, was taken. It was reported last night that the first of the Leonards arrested made a confession and implicated Wilson. It is said that a good bit of additional evidence has been secured and there are witnesses who saw the men with molds and materials. Wilson has served a term in the government prison at Atlanta for counterfeiting. It is said that the gang has been operating for six or eight months and it is possible that there is much of the spurious coin in circulation by this time.

The White House may have crushed the dreams of many a "Star Wars" fan by officially turning down a petition to start working on a Death Star. The silver lining? It did it awesomely.
"The administration does not support blowing up planets," according to the official statement by Paul Shawcross, chief of the Office of Management and Budget's Science and Space Branch.
Regardless of one's opinion of that un-imperial political stance, it's difficult to argue with the numbers: Lehigh University economics students calculated that a Death Star would cost $852,000,000,000,000,000 -- that's $852 quadrillion, in case you lost count of the zeros. (The White House statement rounded down to $850 quadrillion, because at that level, what difference do a couple of Qs make?)
The rejection might disappoint the 34,000-plus folks who signed the petition, which presented a Death Star project as a way to jump-start the still-struggling U.S. economy.
