The Lexmark Universal Print Driver provide users and administrators with a standardized, one-driver solution for their printing needs. Instead of installing and managing individual drivers for each printer model, administrators can install the Lexmark Universal Print Driver for use with a variety of both mono and color laser printers and multi-function devices.
The Lexmark Universal Print Drivers are available in 22 languages, supporting more than 60 printer models, whether attached locally or over a network. All packages have been tested in cluster server environments, Microsoft Terminal Server and Citrix environments, and are Microsoft WHQL certified (digitally signed). PCL 5, PCL XL, and PostScript 3 emulations are available for Windows 2000 and later.
The bidirectional communication capability allows the driver to automatically detect and update the installed options both at install time and upon user request. This allows the driver to adapt to the various capabilities of our different printers, but unlike other universal print drivers, the network traffic is minimal.
With only one package to manage, testing and internal certification of print drivers is simplified by the use of the Lexmark Universal Print Driver packages. Time spent on installation, both on servers and workstations, is greatly reduced, and hard drive space formerly occupied by many product-specific drivers is now diminished significantly.
The Lexmark Universal Print Driver packages use the same graphic user interface as the product-specific drivers the users are accustomed to, and now all queues will share that same interface, decreasing calls to the help desk. Users can create and save profiles for their most frequently used settings, or use profiles that were created for them by IT.
Administrators can use the Lexmark Universal Print Driver packages to encourage their organization's environmental policies. The default queue settings can be modified to include duplex, multi-page printing (N-up), toner darkness, and other resource-saving measures.
The Lexmark Universal Print Drivers are available for the following operating systems in 32-bit and 64-bit versions (where available):
Windows 7
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Vista
Windows Server 2003
Windows XP
Windows Server 2000
Windows 2000 3
The Universal Print Drivers are also compatible with the following Citrix implementations in 32-bit and 64-bit versions (where available):
Windows Server 2008 with Citrix XenApp 5.0
Windows Server 2008 R2 with Citrix XenApp 6.0
Windows Server 2003 with Citrix Presentation Server 4.5
Windows Server 2003 with Citrix Presentation Server 4.0
Windows Server 2003 with Citrix Presentation Server 3.0
Windows Server 2000 with Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 3
Windows Server 2000 with Citrix Presentation Server 3.0 3
This package includes the 32/64-bit, PCL 5 emulation, PCL XL emulation and PS3 emulation universal printer driver. Drivers are Microsoft WHQL certified. In addition it contains the following components:
- Lexmark Phone Book - is used to manage fax contacts.
- lTravel Print ("mobile printing") driver subcomponent - allows for print time discovery of printers for users who are mobile

"Thanks" to the Eminence City Council for giving its approval for a city-wide yard and garage sale that was held in our community on August 9. This was the first time Eminence had held an event of this nature. In conjunction with the National Garage/Yard Sale Day, things worked well. The NGYSD, is a time when communities work together to reduce, reuse and recycle merchandise that would otherwise be thrown away.
When I was growing up on our farm in New York State, my mother called them "blackcaps." Here in Henry County, we call them "blackberries," and, while no expert, I am pretty sure they are the same thing.
Don't bother calling it swimming anymore. You might as well call it Phelpsing.
Many of us, by now, might be tired of hearing Michael Phelps' name, or seeing him up on the gold medal platform, or hearing that yes, yet again, he's broken another world record.
If you blinked the other night, you missed an incredible end to a good race (better even than the 4X100-meter freestyle relay).
This is just a note of appreciation for the good job done by the fire departments that responded to the recent fire in New Castle. I would also like to say thanks to the La Grange Fire Department for helping out with preventing the devastating loss of the whole block of buildings.
Bruce Owens, Director, Henry County Emergency Management
For several days I observed a beautiful female ruby-throated hummingbird. She sat just outside my dining room window. I watched as she perched on the branch of an old Mock Orange bush.
It is summer time and your teens may have had more free time on their hands. Most of our teens are making healthy choices this summer – like not drinking alcohol. Unfortunately, there are many who choose to drink. Most young people who start drinking before age 21 do so when they are about 13-14 years old. That is why parents and all adults should send a strong message that underage drinking is not okay.
Guy Clark had it right. There's nothing in the world better than a home grown tomato. Nothing.
We have in our office a wonderful tomato fairy. She brings us bags of tomatoes throughout the summer. Tomatoes of all types find their way into our office, and our tummies, thanks to the hard work of an employee and her family, and their tomato plants' generous over production.
I don't know how far back my love of tomatoes goes, but I can remember eating tomato and mayo sandwiches before I was 10.
We the New Castle Lions Club, the Henry County Fair Committee and the Henry County Fair Pageant Committee, all become one large group the weeks before the fair and fair week. We as a group would like to thank all of our generous sponsors for your donations this year. For those of you who thought that we could not put this all together, we succeeded! For those of you who didn't think we could put on a pageant in a livestock arena, we did it very successfully.
Since Kentucky's students have made significant strides academically over the years, it only makes sense that the schools themselves are also among the nation's leaders – in this case, when it comes to the cost of operating them.
The pickup truck with a bed full of watermelons and cantaloupes was backed up to the curb at the Henry County Farmers Market last Saturday. Its bumper sticker read "Born to Farm."
It was Kids Day at the Farmers Market and the children representing local farms indeed seemed born to farm.

Eminence will host a city-wide yard sale from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 9, to coincide with National Garage/Yard Sale Day.
This is the first time Eminence has held a city-wide event of this kind.
Reverend Sharon Fields of the Eminence Christian Church presented the concept to the Eminence City Council after reading a magazine article publicizing the nationwide event. The council unanimously approved the idea and requested that she spearhead the effort.
We have received numerous questions regarding bank safety and insurance coverage on deposits. These consumer concerns are warranted; given the highly publicized meltdown of the sub prime mortgage market, housing market crisis, IndyMac Bank issues, state of the overall banking industry, etc. I want to take this opportunity to address some of the more frequently asked questions.
Wednesday, July 30
Karate classes will be held at the Community Center from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Children's Story and Craft hour every Wednesday from 10 to 11 a.m. at Pleasureville Christian Church. Also, the community library at the church is open to the public from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.
Thursday, July 31
TOPS 298 will meet at Orville Baptist Church. Weigh in 4:30 p.m. and meeting at 5 p.m. New members welcome.
Friday, August 1
Last month's special legislative session may have been a major step forward in strengthening Kentucky's public retirement systems, but it was never intended to be the only step. My legislative colleagues and I, and many others with ties to these systems, realize there is more work to be done.
Your recent article "pain in the wallet" accurately enumerated the problems high fuel prices cause for the residents of Henry County; we now need to discuss why.
In the current tight economic climate, I think it's important to know that a few things in life are still free. Mostly.
A walk through the neighborhood is a great way to enjoy some free entertainment, get a little sunshine and exercise not just yourself, but any dogs you might have. Sitting out in the backyard looking up at the stars? Free, as long as you don't count what you might spend on insect repellent or anti-itch cream for the bug bites you might endure.
Although Relay 2008 was cut short by stormy weather on June 27, it didn't come to a screeching halt. On Saturday evening, July 19 more than 60 people including team members, team captains, survivors and Relay supporters met at the Henry County Fairgrounds for a special three hour Relay Finale ending with a moving Luminary Ceremony.
The Henry County Chamber is hard at work getting ready for upcoming events. The public is invited to all of these, and we hope you can find time to come enjoy some good Henry County hospitality.
As (teachers, students and families) ready for another year of homeroom and homework, it is worth taking a step back to see just how far Kentucky has come in educating our children – and how far the Commonwealth still has to go.

Primary Perception: Biocommunication with Plants, Living Foods, and Human Cells
White Rose Millennium Press, 2003 - Nature - 168 pages
This is the only book by Cleve Backster himself, describing 36 years of research in biocommunication, observed electrical responses in plant life and other living organisms. All life forms have the capability of responding to one another, from plants and bacteria to foods and animal cells. Most amazing is his work with human leukocytes. These discoveries have opened up a new paradigm in science, ecology and healing.

Chuck Feeney: The Billionaire Who Is Trying To Go Broke
On a cool summer afternoon at Dublin's Heuston Station, Chuck Feeney, 81, gingerly stepped off a train on his journey back from the University of Limerick, a 12,000-student college he willed into existence with his vision, his influence and nearly $170 million in grants, and hobbled toward the turnstiles on sore knees. No commuter even glanced twice at the short New Jersey native, one hand holding a plastic bag of newspapers, the other grasping an iron fence for support. The man who arguably has done more for Ireland than anyone since Saint Patrick slowly limped out of the station completely unnoticed. And that's just how Feeney likes it.
Chuck Feeney is the James Bond of philanthropy. Over the last 30 years he's crisscrossed the globe conducting a clandestine operation to give away a $7.5 billion fortune derived from hawking cognac, perfume and cigarettes in his empire of duty-free shops. His foundation, the Atlantic Philanthropies, has funneled $6.2 billion into education, science, health care, aging and civil rights in the U.S., Australia, Vietnam, Bermuda, South Africa and Ireland. Few living people have given away more, and no one at his wealth level has ever given their fortune away so completely during their lifetime. The remaining $1.3 billion will be spent by 2016, and the foundation will be shuttered in 2020. While the business world's titans obsess over piling up as many riches as possible, Feeney is working double time to die broke.
Feeney embarked on this mission in 1984, in the middle of a decade marked by wealth creation–and conspicuous consumption–when he slyly transferred his entire 38.75% ownership stake in Duty Free Shoppers to what became the Atlantic Philanthropies. "I concluded that if you hung on to a piece of the action for yourself you'd always be worrying about that piece," says Feeney, who estimates his current net worth at $2 million (with an "m"). "People used to ask me how I got my jollies, and I guess I'm happy when what I'm doing is helping people and unhappy when what I'm doing isn't helping people."
What Feeney does is give big money to big problems–whether bringing peace to Northern Ireland, modernizing Vietnam's health care system or seeding $350 million to turn New York's long-neglected Roosevelt Island into a technology hub. He's not waiting to grant gifts after he's gone nor to set up a legacy fund that annually tosses pennies at a $10 problem. He hunts for causes where he can have dramatic impact and goes all-in. "Chuck Feeney is a remarkable role model," Bill Gates tells FORBES, "and the ultimate example of giving while living."
For the first 15 years of this mission Feeneyobsessively hid the type of donations that other tycoons employ publicists to plaster across newspapers. Many charities had no idea where the piles of money were coming from. Those that did were sworn to secrecy. "I had to convince the board of trustees that it was on the level, that there was nothing disreputable and this wasn't Mafia money," says Frank Rhodes, the former president of Cornell University who later chaired Atlantic Philanthropies. "That was difficult." Eventually Feeney was outed ( in part due to FORBES), but his fervent desire for anonymity remained (until this year he had done about five interviews in his life). Now that his quest to give until nearly broke is coming to its conclusion, he's opening up a bit. What emerges is one of strangest, most impactful lives of all time.
Feeney prefers showing to telling. In Dublin he sends me on a three-hour tour of Trinity College to witness everything from the library gift shop he designed to his genetics complex and department of neuroscience, complete with lab rats with electrodes implanted in their heads. The next day he endures the six-hour round-trip to the University of Limerick to personally walk me through its Irish World Academy of Music & Dance, its new medical school and its new sports center (now home to Ireland's Munster rugby team), where hundreds of young kids were playing soccer on the all-weather turf. Rather than walk me through his life story, he invites Conor O'Clery , the author of the Feeney biography , The Billionaire Who Wasn't(PublicAffairs, 2007), to dinner in Dublin's Peploe's Bistro. At dinner Feeney sits quietly in a frayed navy blazer, sipping chardonnay that he dilutes with a splash of water, occasionally throwing in a point for emphasis or, more often, a witty, self-deprecating joke.
The story that emerges is this: Feeney grew up in an Irish-American neighborhood in the blue-collar town of Elizabeth, N.J., coming of age in the Great Depression. He served in the Air Force during the Korean War before attending the Cornell School of Hotel Administration on the GI Bill. After graduation in 1956 he traveled to France to take more college classes and later got involved in the business of following the U.S. Navy's Atlantic fleet, selling tax-free booze to sailors. Competition was intense, but he got ahead by using his military experience to talk his way directly onto ships and gathering intelligence on the fleet's next destination by chatting up local prostitutes.
He brought fellow Cornell alum Bob Miller into the business, and the pair started selling cars, perfume and jewelry to servicemen and tourists. They later added tax lawyer Tony Pilaro and accountant Alan Parker as owners to help manage the bootstrapped business more professionally. By 1964 their Duty Free Shoppers had 200 employees in 27 countries.
It was a nice little business, but soon the Japanese economic boom would transform the scrappy operation into one of the most profitable retailers in history. In 1964, the same year as the Tokyo Olympics, Japan lifted foreign travel restrictions (enacted after World War II to rebuild the economy), allowing citizens to vacation abroad. Japanese tourists, along with their massive store of pent-up savings, surged across the globe. Hawaii and Hong Kong were top destinations. Feeney, who had picked up some Japanese language and customs while in the Air Force, hired smart, pretty Japanese girls to work the stores and filled his shelves with cognac, cigarettes and leather bags that gift-crazy Japanese snatched up for co-workers and friends. Soon Feeney and company had tour guides on the payroll who herded tourists to DFS stores before they had even checked into the hotel so they couldn't spend money anywhere else first.
The Japanese were such lucrative customers that Feeney hired analysts to predict which cities they'd flock to next. DFS shops sprung up in Anchorage, San Francisco and Guam. Another target was Saipan, a tiny tropical island just a short flight from Japan that he predicted could become a hot beach spot for Tokyo residents. There was a catch: The island lacked an airport. So in 1976 DFS invested $5 million to have one built.

My husband and I have been chatting about Michael Phelps and some of his interviews at the beginning of the Olympics. I don't know if you saw what we saw, but at the start he seemed completely checked out… like he wasn't excited to be there. As the week went on and he started winning more medals, his attitude seemed to change. Of course, winning will do that to you, but do you want to know what he said his turning point was? He told Bob Costas in an interview that he decided he just needed to "smile more" and once he started doing that he became more relaxed and started taking in the moments around him. Simply by putting a smile on his face, he was able to begin to fully appreciate where he was and what he accomplished. And wow… has he accomplished a lot or what?
Put a smile on your face… giving the perception that you are a happy person even if you aren't can actually turn you into a happy person. I don't mean to be fake and hide your problems from others. I'm talking about how making the choice to focus on the positive and all the good in your life versus what isn't going right can make a huge difference in how things turn out, don't you think?
Which brings me to my poorly neglected Happiness Reports. I'm embarrassed to say my last Happiness Report was back in November. That is unacceptable! It's time to focus on some happy, so here we go.
I recently purchased and fell in love with my new Erin Condren Life Planner. Have you seen these? Finding a paper planner that not only inspires but also is organized like my brain thinks planners should be organized makes me happy! Erin thought of everything when she created these planners… they are beautiful, functional and durable. Don't worry, I still use Cozi for our online family calendar system, but I am loving my Erin Condren planner for my pen and paper planning!
Family vacation makes me happy! We just returned from a week in Estes Park, CO. I'll be sharing a post with you soon about all that we did in this wonderful, family vacation spot, but I couldn't do a happiness report this week without at least mentioning it!
My friend and photography idol, Tracey Clark just released a new book, and it is amazing. If you are into photography, capturing the everyday moments, taking the best pictures with the camera you have, etc. Tracey's book, Elevate the Everyday, is for you. Her promo trailer makes me happy too… you can't help but watch it and smile!
Elevate The Everyday from A Life Photographic on Vimeo.
A few more things that make me happy…
This August Food Bloggers calendar from Foodie Crush….
Watching The Curiosity Rover land on Mars… how cool was that?
All of the beautiful sunset pictures on Instagram…
My new favorite Sharpie pens to use with my Erin Condren planner (they don't bleed through at all!)…
and finally, these ladies…
I would love it if you'd share with me what's been making you happy lately! Let's focus on the positive and head out into the world smiling like Michael Phelps!

After a very short period of peace, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have resumed their attacks on Israel, launching massive numbers of Grad rockets at schools, playgrounds, hospitals and homes ("Israeli strikes, Gaza rockets end weeks of relative calm," March 11).
But where are the voices of protest from the "peace" activists, the United Nations and the media condemning these attacks on Israeli civilians? The record shows that when it comes to attacks on Israel, they keep silent.
Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2000 with high hopes that Palestinians would re-build their lives, invest in education, job development and other ways to improve the lives of their people.
Unfortunately, the Palestinians have invested in weapons, in recruiting and training terrorists, and of course on sophisticated propaganda against Israel.
The United States and the international community should unequivocally condemn these attacks and cut off ties with Hamas, the terror organization that now controls Gaza. Hamas receives both money and weapons from Iran, and it is committed to destroying Israel.
The United States and the international community should make it clearer than ever that they hold Iran responsible for arming and financing these terrorists and that Iran's drive to develop nuclear weapons will be stopped by whatever means necessary.

Professor Olaf Olsen pauses as he describes next fall's
Scandinavian history course.
Olsen tells of sabbatical
trip to Scandinavia
by Janice Johnson
Upon entering the halls of Bethel, a visitor is likely to be
confronted with several immediate impressions - grey walls,
blue jeans, the smell of mountain grown coffee, and the remarkable
representation of the sons and daughters of Gustav.
Appropriately enough, one of the new courses expected to be
offered next fall will be the History of Scandinavia, taught
by Dr. Olaf Olsen of the History Department.
Although most of the library research for the class had
been done last summer, particularly at Augsburg and the U of
M, Dr. Olsen utilized the second half of his 1973 sabbatical to
travel extensively in Scandinavia "in order to get an appreciation
of the people of Scandinavia, their outlook, their spirit."
His goals were thus largely intangible, including a focus on
different areas of life in Norway, Sweden and Denmark such
as industrial production, churches and ministers, education,
social activities and, simply, everyday life. For example, Dr.
Olsen visited Kiruna, a large iron ore center in northern Sweden
which ships ore to all parts of the world through the port of
Narvig, Norway. The Scandinavian iron ore and steel industry
is indeed one of the most influential and wealthy elements of
the northern European economy.
Dr. Olsen also visited various universities, doing some supplementary
library research but generally meeting with faculty
members and students to discuss educational goals and teaching
methodology. Particularly at the Universities of Opsala,
Stockholm, and Lund, Dr. Olsen met with various history professors
and was shown a great deal of cordiality and generosity,
receiving complimentary copies of pUblications dealing with
his own subject area (ie., History of Scandinavia) researched
and written by the professors themselves. One professor at the
University of Copenhagen had recently finished a work dealing
with the religious attitudes of the Danes and church-state relations,
and he presented Dr. Olsen with a copy of the complete
two volume work. Dr. Olsen said that he greatly appreciated
the assistance and cordiality of his Scandinavian counterparts
and that he hopes to continue to correspond with
Probably the most effective means of learning about culture
is to live with people in their homes, and so Dr. Olsen's
visits with relatives in Norway were edifying as well as enjoyable.
Even from visiting department stores, said Dr. Olsen, one
can learn much about the people in terms of the consumer
goods they find desirable and their general affluence. Leather
and suede coats, although extremely expensive, are very popular,
stated Dr. Olsen, and are indicative of the great interest
and concern that Scandinavians generally seem to display for
their appearance.
Although quite affluent (Sweden has recently surpassed
the U.S. in per capita income), Scandinavia has prices to compensate
for the general wealth. The going rate for a cup of
coffee was about $.50 to $.70, ranging as high as $.85 in a
Danish train depot, with prices of other items comparably high.
It almost makes one appreciative of the prices in Bethel's coffee
shop and cafeteria. Dr. Olsen, al though assisted by a Bethel
alumni grant, largely financed the trip himself; and since he
has not become overly wealthy while teaching at Bethel, he
generally avoided restaurants and bought his food in grocery
Due to his extensive travelling throughout Scandinavia,
Dr. Olsen travelled by rail on a three month Urrail pass; and
he stated that some of his best opportunities to meet and talk
with people occurred during his train rides. Dr. Olsen is fluent
in Norwegian and understands most Swedish, although he has
difficulty speaking it. Many Scandinavians are familiar with
English, but particularly in rural areas and when speaking with
older people, his speaking ability was taxed. "I simply did the
best I could," he stated.
Not all of Dr. Olsen's 3% months in Europe were spent
in Scandinavia. For about ten days he continued research in
the British Museum in London begun on another sabbatical

The most
worthy project
Consider the possible starvation of six to ten million human
beings in western sub-Saharan Africa. Can you? Think on
a situation so utterly demoralizing that Dr. Larry Ward, president
of Food For The Hungry, said, "Nothing I have seen in
my years in this kind of work (one form or another of Christian
missions) has been so completely overwhelming as the
present heartbreak in the drought famine areas of West Africa."
Our minds boggle just trying to come to grips with the desperation
of the situation. Yet, there is a faint glimmer of hope.
The Student Senate Mrican Relief Project constitutes
Bethel College's small but critically needed contribution to the
badly deteriorating situation there. Dave Bjork and Dan Leafblad,
coordinators of the project, have carefully weighed the
alternatives of involvement and non-involvement, and have concluded
that though our contribution may be in comparison a
drop in the bucket, it is absolutely necessary. And, according
to Bjork, "we hope that every Bethel student will get involved
in the spirit of this project, each exhibiting concern for something
we can't see, a concern which vaiues people solely because
they are humat:l beings."
To our way of thinking, the Christian faith demands this
sort of sensitive involvement. The first epistle of John, chapter
three, verses 17 and 18, clearly agrees: But if anyone has the
worlds' goods and s~es his brother in need, yet closes his heart
against him, how can God's love abide in him? Little children,
let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth.
Dwell also on Jesus' words: He who has two coats, let him
share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do
likewise. Given our position of comparative abundance, it is
our opinion that we can not afford to let this opportunity slip
by, and still remain honest to all the Christian faith requires.
As Leafblad stated, "Christ emphasized the whole man, recognizing
physical as well as spiritual needs. There is no comparison
between our small sacrifice in helping, and the extent to
which those people are suffering."
Present plans call for a fast on Tuesday, March 12; for a
benefit concert on March 13 featuring Noel Paul Stookey (formerly
of Peter, Paul, and Mary) backed by Phil Kitchen, Mike
Monroe, and Gail and Jay Caress; and for pancake breakfasts
in the Twin Cities conference churches (the details for which
are not yet completely formulated).
Sign-up for the fast will begin Monday, March 4. Students
are encouraged to donate the money or coupons they would
have spent on food for the number of meals they wish to miss
by signing up at the table near the coffee shop. 2,200 tickets
for the Stookey concert go on sale that day also, at $3 a ticket.
Students are encouraged to buy them immediately, as tickets
will be made available to the general public beginning March 6.
Moreover, the breakfasts should also make a very substantial
financial contribution.
Funds raised for this project will be sent to Ward's organization
where they will be used totally for food relief. Food
For The Hungry has promised an actual food return of 40
times the dollar amount we donate, citing extremely low administrative
costs, missionary and national Christian voluntary
distributors, below wholesale buying costs, and donated foods
and shipping as reasons for this. In addition to food distribution,
Food For The Hungry, an interdenominational organization,
functions as an evangelical concern.
In the past four years at Bethel we have not witnessed so
worthy a project. Without doubt it is as dynamic an undertaking
as a Bethel Student Senate has ever attempted. It is the
type of opportunity which every Christian can only thank God
for, a chance to serve, to give of oneself. And, it takes only a
rudimentary knowledge of mathematics to calculate the possible
net dollar value of the food to be supplied. Think of the
impact Bethel could have: literally saving lives! We have long
felt that evangelical Christians ought to be in the forefront of
such vitally important undertakings.
If you want to help in the administration of this facet of
Christian service, please contact Craig Brenneise, chairman of
the Senate Activities Committee, who is working with Bjork
and Leafblad from the administrative end. He will be glad to
give you a place in the project. We hope you will take it.
Quinion - Cosgrove
Has the Lord called you to full-time Christian service? Is
God beckoning you out into some part of the world? These
are questions we are told to chew on at missionary emphasis
weeks in the church, at camp, at Founders Weeks, because
maybe God has called us. It is a time of mustering inner courage.
We've all done it. We hear a real rip-snorter of a sermon appeal
on the subject and at the close we tighten our fists, suck
in a deep breath, bravely thrust out our chin (very difficult
with your head down), stiffen our upper lip, and resolve, "I
will go wherever You want me to go!" Moments later, still
holding our breath by the P.O.s, we whisper, "If I'm called."
You're called. Every Christian is called by God to full-time
Christian service in some part of the world. Jesus said a man
cannot be His disciple unless he "deny himself and take up his
cross and follow me" (Matt. 16: 24). If we believe it is only a
select group of individuals who are asked to forsake all and
follow Jesus we are in grave error. "He who finds his life will
lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it"
(Matt. 10:39). The cost is great. "If anyone comes to me and
does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children
and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot
be my disciple" (Luke 14:33). This is the life to which God
has called everyone of us.
Too often we assent to the claim of these verses upon us,
yet see them only in terms of morality. That is, we limit cost
of discipleship to not doing certain things we know are wrong.
Painful as this may be it misses the main point. Discipleship
is primarily a matter of "doing." Jesus invariably follows the
"denying," the "counting of cost," the "renouncing" with
verbs like "following," "finding," "building," "discipling."
continued on page four
Thoughts, continued from page three
There is, then, no longer any "if" conditioning our promise
to "go anywhere and give anything." This very thing is
demanded of us right here on the spot. It isn't optional.
Now let's talk about vocation. As students we must discover
how this cost of discipleship will find its expression in
the jobs to which God has called us. We can only do this as we
understand why there is this cost. It cost God His life to bring
us to life. It costs us our lives to bring His life to others.
It used to disturb me that 2,000 years have lapsed without
Christ's return. I wondered with the scoffers, "Where is the
promise of his coming?" (II Peter 3:4). But where would I be
if He hadn't waited? Peter writes, "The Lord is not slow about
his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward
you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should
reach repentance" (II Peter 3 :9). We live on borrowed time by
the grace of God. The only reason we are still here on earth is
that others might come to know the Lord.
This is the framework into which we must fit our vocations.
We are not on this earth that God may help us in our
own pursuits, but that we may aid Him in His pursuits. Vocations
must never be seen as ends in themselves. Rather, they
should be a means by which Christ pursues those who do not
know Him, as He lives in us. One could not ask for a more
strategic distribution of Christians throughout the work-a-day
world of this country. Christians are everywhere, but the message
has become the burden of the few.
May our various vocations serve as "fronts" for the gospel
of Christ. In one sense of "front," God, hidden in Christ and
living in us, is smuggled behind office doors, into classrooms,
homes, streets, factories, ballparks, even churches. At this juncture
"front" assumes another meaning. It is the point of conflict
between the love of Christ and the world.
Let us not grow weary in our love and devotion to God,
desiring only Him and the realization of His kingdom in the
hearts of those He is bereft of. To want anything more than
God is to want less than Him.
Healy's mug-a
matter of controversy
Dear Editor:
We agree with David J . Healy that his picture in the last
Clarion did not do justice to his appearance. We strongly protest
the inclusion of this photograph. It was totally unfair and
intolerable! The picture actually made him look quite good.
Critically yours,
Loreen Friesen

Photo Editor's note: Nothing more can be said. But, we should
add, the Clarion retouching budget was completely exhausted
by that photo. We try harder.
Student appreciates Olson
Dear Editor:
During the three years I have spent at Bethel, I've come to
appreciate Dean Olson as someone with integrity, whom I can
respect. I've seen in him a desire to please God not men, though
with quiet consideration he has done his best to work things
out to everyone's advantage, but not at the compromise of his
A major reason in my continuing here and one of Bethel's
strengths is its concerned, Christian faculty. A concerned, Christian
dean who does the hiring is prerequisite to such a faculty.
I respect Dean Olson as a person, a Christian, and as an administrator
and I am sorry to see Bethel lose him. I hope the
"search committee" will consider the qualities he brought to
the administration in looking for a replacement.

dealing with church relations with the working men's movement
in early 19th century Britain; and he also visited a niece
in Vienna who, with her husband, is working to establish a
Navigator group designed to minister to the communist countries
of central and eastern Europe.
It was an eventful time for Dr. Olsen, who arrived home
just in time for Christmas. He feels, too, that it was a valuable
time, that the places he saw and the experiences he had have
given him a far greater understanding of Scandinavian culture
and life than he could have obtained from armchair knowledge.
Although preparation for the class is by no means complete,
perhaps the vitality of this experience is the element that can
best serve to bring Scandinavia and its history alive to next
year's students.
"I want to make it as interesting as possible, and not make
it too heavy of a course, since I hope and expect that we will
have a number of non-majors as well as majors who are simply
interested in the area. As historians, we are sometimes tempted
to give a little too much meat, and I hope to provide a little
milk as well," Dr. Olsen said.

Child of Sunflowers
Lady, woman, child, girl came
and left today.
Like a saint on a holy tour
she came and left today
Found me here in my basement
in my winter underwear.
I didn't know that she could
see through walls.
But she could, and did.
Sophisticated simple child
of sunshowers and lollipop smiles
came and left today.
Like a fairy stopping to bless a dream
on her way to work
she came and left today
Came by and waved her wand at me
and sprinkled holy water
around the room.
I didn't know that she could bless.
But she could, and did.

"Late once more!" my wall clock read.
I snatched my pants and leaped from bed.
I dashed about then through the door.
And slipped behind the wheel once more.
So in my normal hurried way
I left again for school today.
Now driving fast can be an art
When eating rolls and cherry tarts.
And I was darting in and out,
While people screamed and cursed about
My driving like an airline flies.
They shook their fists as I passed by!
But still I gave a Christian smile,
Then sped along another mile.
At times I feared I'd never see
Some sign I'd reached my destiny,
But none the less I did arrive
And weaved my way down Bethel Drive.
Stu Jones
By stained-glass sunlight I knelt and wept,
remembering your love.
I will not sing your song,
for these self-saved masters ordered me to.
They mocked your name, saying,
"Sing a song to God.
See if he can hear."
How can I sing the Lord's song
in the house of your enemy?
If I forget your truth,
may I lose my arms.
Let me never speak,
if I speak an evil word
against you, 0 Lord.
Remember those in your church,
o Lord,
the disbelieving "servants"
who cried "Destroy the foundations!
Throw out this God."
o son of Babylon, you wasteland,
God will do to you
as you tried to do to him.
He will break you as a stone smashes clay.

Upon Getting Caught
in Edgren
at 4:00 a.m.
It was a dark and cloudy night,
We felt unnaturally bold,
Beneath the glow of Hagstrom's light.
We weren't afraid to face their might,
And so, across the yard we strolled,
It was a dark and cloudy night.
Proud Edgren was a noble sight,
It stood there, Bethel's men's stronghold,
Beneath the glow of Hagstrom's light.
In Edgren, women had no right,
But in we went, the hour was cold,
It was a dark and cloudy night.
The Edgren men were up that night,
For information had been told,
Beneath the glow of Hagstrom's light.
They jumped us, gave us quite a fright,
And thrust us back into the cold.
It was a dark and cloudy night,
Beneath the glow of Hagstrom's light.

If I should glorify myself
I am a wasted fool
If I should justify my life
I am a wretched man

I am simply a child of God
It is the Father who glorifies us
We are H is pride and joy
It is the Father who proclaims to us

Beside a virgin flower
Beside a virgin flower I knelt at dawn
In your garden; I watched her dew chilled petals
Open beneath your warm and steady gaze,
And breathed the lovely fragrance there distilled.
Opaque window by some hermit spider wov'n
Tangles the foliage of your midday garden.
Leaves decaying, summer's close breath mingle
Oppressive; truth embalms with scent like cedar.
Into your twilight courtyard slipping silent
I raise my slender taper, unused cold
To your offspring, icy blue flame of the night
Lighting evening's candles. Burn peaceful incense.
Purified, Esther awaits your summoning
Wandering through your garden, castle of the night.
Luminescent green boughs above her head
She draws together to arch the darkness;
Minstrel queen, I ighting stars I ike silver pinprick
Notes on the staff of silver-branched treetops
Traces of a celestial melody.
Black river, fast flowing, bounds your kingdom
Freezing to curling sculpture where she dips her pen.
She seeks her lord's audience; bestow favor
On the kindred of her mind and of your night.
Tall fir, scepter-I ike trembles just perceptibly.

now defunct"
by Bill Trollinger
One of the great mysteries of this school
year is where the Bethel debate team has
dsappeared to. It seems there was one at
the beginning of the year ... or was there?
Didn't we have a teacher with the title
of Debate Coach, or was that imagined
Well, fans, Bethel College did have a
debate team, but, as in Dr. Rainbow's
words, "It is now defunct." Why? As Bethel
grows, both in numbers and in quality,
why was an academic outreach such
as debate dropped?
The Bethel debate team began the year
in an atmosphere of hope. Tom Addington
and Bob Moeller were recruited by
James Mason of the Speech Department
(currently on sabbatical) to set the foundation
of a strong debate team for the
years to come. Moeller related, "We knew
Bethel's debate team had been a disaster,
but we were told Bethel would make a full
concerted effort to establish a strong
debate program."
From here the debate team went completely
downhill. Duane Stanley was hired
as debate coach, but only in a part-time
capacity. No assistants were provided, resources
were minimal, and to cap things
off, debaters began to quit the program.
Soon, only Tom and Bob remained. An
analogy can be made to a basketball team:
imagine a team that had five players, no
equipment, and a coach that showed up
only for games. This was the Bethel debate
At the beginning of the season, Bethel
was equal to its opponents. But as the
season wore on, the lack of true school
support became increasingly apparent, and
the debate team slipped farther and farther
behind. "The frustration became unbearable
- it is disappointing to lose not
on talent, but on resources," Moeller commented.
The debaters finally appealed to the
administration for help. They were given
oral promises of assistance from administrators,
but nothing developed. A meeting
with President Lundquist was in the
offing, but this, too, never materialized.
Addington and Moeller thus had no choice
but to resign from the team. This is the
current status of the Bethel debate team.
Is there a future for debate at Bethel?
In an interview with Dr. Rainbow, next
year's Speech Department head, he said,
"I'd really like to see a strong debate program
here, but we need a full-time debate
coach." This is not to knock Stanley -
debate coach is too demanding a job to
be run in a part-time capacity.
Negotiations are supposedly in progress
concerning the status of the debate team.
At this time, all signs point to the eventual
elimination of debate from Bethel.
This would be tragic - debate is one of
the few extra-curricular activities connected
with the academic side of a college.
How can Bethel claim to be progressing
academically and eliminate debate?
The onus of responsibility is upon the
administration. The hiring of a full-time
debate coach and a providing of resources
could revive the now dormant, and dying,
fortunes of debate at Bethel. The time to
save debate at Bethel is now.
Students can
get tax refund
by Raymond Stockwell
Every student, by now must know the
importance of signing his name to the
little notebook on the sales counter in
the bookstore when buying textbooks.
What many students might not realize
is that the Bethel Bookstore has taken
it upon itself to make this an opportunity
for a tax refund.
According to a law passed by the
Minnesota legislature, textbooks required
for a course shall not be taxed, effective
early in January 1974. Due to poor
communication Bethel received no notice
of this bill until near the end of January,
and so taxed textbooks for Interim
classes. Now it is prepared to give a tax
return to any student who purchased required
textbooks for Interim courses.
Starting March 1 and ending March 15
any student who will bring a list of the
following to the bookstore will receive
a tax refund: student's name, P.O. number,
course name, and instructor's name. If a

Tel-evangelism has come to Bethel.
What is it? It is a way to lead people to
Christ via the telephone line. It came to
Bethel through the efforts of Dr. Harley's
Interim class "Communicating Our Faith
in Christ."
About forty Bethel students are involved
in manning a telephone line about
100 hours a week. Someone is always
there from twelve to twelve weekdays and
longer on weekends.
Youth groups distribute cards bearing
the phone number at places such as roller
rinks and shopping centers. "These cards
perform a dual ministry," said Pat Repp,
a student organizer. "The person passing
them out can witness to the prospective
caller, or the person getting the card can
call later if he wants to know more. "
A caller first hears a tape recorded message
which gives a gospel presentation and
a second number to call if he has more
questions. Then someone on Bethel's end
of the line will answer and try to lead the
caller to Christ.
Most callers are young teenagers.
"But," said Pat, "the age of the caller usually
depends on where the cards have
been given out."
People are needed to work in every
phase of the ministry according to Pat.
"We really need kids to do follow-up work
especially. Tel-evangelism wins a lot of
people but the follow-up is poor. This is
as important as the evangelism itself."
Most of the staff works on the phone.

Convo preview
Coming to chapel this Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 5 and 6, will be Dr.
Gary Collins, a Christian psychologist.
His topic will involve relating modern
psychology to Christianity.
Dr. Collins is head of the Department
of Pastoral Counseling at Trinity Evangelical
Divinity School in Evanston, Illinois.
He obtained his Ph.D. in psychology from
Purdue University, after which he attended
Western Baptist Seminary to help him
achieve a theological perspective.
His vocational goal,' like the topic of
his convocation speeches, is to relate
modern psychology to Christianity in
order that he might develop a working
system of Christian counseling.
Dr. Collins was on the Bethel College
faculty in the office of Associate Professor
of Psychology for four years. Commenting
on Dr. Collins' effect on Bethel,
Dr. Webster Muck said, "Gary made a
good impact on the Bethel community.
"As a Christian counselor, Gary is in
the mainstream of modern psychological
thought. Using an eclectic approach, he
tries to find the truth in the various
systems of psychology, and measures
them in the light of the Bible."
It promises to be a good chapel.

Director of Alumni
Affairs, John Carlson,
to leave for pastorate
by Steve Harris
The winter of 1974 is proving to be a time of change
at Bethel College. Not only has Dr. Virgil Olson announced his
resignation as dean of the College, but the Director of Alumni
Affairs, John W. Carlson, will be leaving that post in March,
after serving there for the past four years.
As the Director of Alumni Affairs, Carlson headed the
organization which is the primary link between Bethel and its
many former students now situated allover the globe. Carlson
estimates that over 10,000 people are reached by the alumni
mailing list.
A graduate of both the College and Seminary, he has been
associated with Bethel for over 16 years. After graduation from
the Seminary in 1967, he held a pastorate in southern Minnessota
for two years Defore coming back to the campus to head
up the alumni program. He leaves to accept the pastorate of
Grace Baptist Church in Riverside, California.
What impressions of Bethel is Carlson left with after seeing
it from both a student's and an administrator's perspective?
"I come away from this place," he said, " with even
stronger feelings about it, about its place in society, and about
its importance. Its been a great experience. Also Minnesota has
been my home all my life, so from a personal standpoint, it's
hard to leave. "
A successor to Carlson has not yet been named. A list
of candidates is now being processed. Students aware of potential
candidates qualified for this full-time position should contact
either Harold Christianson or the Alumni Office.
Lady Royals win two
by Dave Greener
The lady Royals were twice victorious last week, defeating
Carleton, 45-36, and downing Northwestern (St. Paul), 56-30,
in womens' basketball.
The wins advanced Bethel's season tally to 5-2, not counting
the season's closing contests played Monday and last night.
Marilynn Luce's 16 points paced her teammates in the Royals'
February 18 defeat of visiting Carleton. Chris Kimball and
Kathy Head also fired in double figures, respectively netting
13 and 10 points.
The Royals owned a four-point first quarter advantage, but
the score' was tied, 21-21 at the end of the half. Bethel's lead
was but one point at the close of the third quarter.
The Royals found the going somewhat easier when they
battled their Northwestern neighbors in another home game
February 19. Marilynn Luce led the Royal fireworks in the 56-

Lynn Dreesen and Chris Kimball popped in 12 apiece.

Royals end season
with 14-11 record
by Curtis Kregness
The Bethel basketball team closed out its season last week
with three victories and an overall record of 14 wins and 11
The Royals slipped past Hamline University February 18
in a seesaw contest that could have gone either way, but ended
in a 61 to 54 victory for Bethel. Paul Reasoner, Bethel's 5'7"
guard, commented on that game, saying that the Royals played
"a poor first half, but probably the best second half we've
played all season."
Bethel tr~veled to Chicago last weekend for its final two
contests of the season. Bad weather delayed the Royals Friday
night at Chicago's O'Hare Airport, and their game with Trinity
College started an hour late as a result. That state of affairs
seemed to start Bethel out on the wrong foot, and Trinity led
24 to 19 at the half. However, the Royals exploded in the
second half for 48 points, leaving Trinity behind at the end,
67 to 48, amid the cheers of many Bethelites who had traveled
to Chicago for the weekend.
The Royals' bout with North Park College (a National
Collegiate Athletic Association school) Saturday proved to be
the grand finale of the season. Paul Healy played an exceptional
game as he scored 30 points, 18 in the first half. Despite a
nine-point lead for Bethel at the half, N\orth Park whittled away
until it had evened the score at 75 p\<>ints, forcing the game
into overtime. The Royals responded by jumping to a quick
three-point advantage, but again North Park came back to hold
a one-point margin with 11 seconds remaining.
Bethel called time-out to plan its strategy, and decided
on a play known as "the bomb." As John Priestly took the
pass out of bounds under North Park's basket, Paul Healy picked
off the man guarding Steve Scroggins. Scroggins then streaked
downcourt and arrived at the basket about the same time as a
long "bomb" from Priestly. Scroggins' layup ended the season
on a victorious note for the Royals, as the final score showed
Bethel 83, North Park 82.

Westmar, Northwestern, Bethel, Yankton, Concordiathat's
how things stacked up last Saturday. There is not much
more that one can say but that Bethel was out-wrestled by
two stronger teams. Again this year, Westmar displayed the
caliber of performance that one would expect from a championship
team. I have much respect for this gifted and wellbalanced
group of athletes.
Ever since I can remember, Northwestern has been the
"thorn in the flesh" of Bethel. Even this year when many felt
confident that Bethel would overcome the Raiders, Northwestern
met the challenge, continuing to irritate the weaknesses of
the Royal line. Some Bethelites still feel that Bethel could have
won on another given day, but that is a hard argument to follow
after history was made Saturday.
It is true that Bethel had some tough breaks: Bill Lott
sprained his ankle before the meet which may have been a factor
in his performance, Jeff Zitzloff out-wrestled his man until
the later seconds of the match when he seemed to run out of
steam, Dave Peterson lost a close one, but those are factors
which decide the outcome of a contest.
I feel that Fred Witzgall deserves some recognition following
another outstanding season in his junior year of wrestling.
Fred was defending a 19-1 over-all record going into his match
against Stan Peterson of Westmar, who, in Fred's words, "simply
out-muscled me." To out-muscle Fred, you must be a
pretty strong customer. Fred feels that Stan will place in the
On behalf of the team, Fred thanked the Bethel fans for
support this season. "We can give much credit to fan support
for our fine 6-2 dual home match record this year. It makes it
so much easier to perform your best when people are yelling
for you," commented Fred.
Fred, Dave, Hanks, and Jerry Flasch have a good chance
of making it to the nationals this year. An athlete is chosen by
the record that he has compiled over the season. This is quite
an honor, and Fred requested that we pray for each one as
they perform. The nationals will be held in River Falls two
weeks from tomorrow.
Wrestlers take third
in conference meet
by Tim Benhardus
The Westmar Eagles captured their eleventh straight TriState
Conference wrestling title by compiling 164% pts. It was
a very disappointing afternoon for Royal fans as none of Bethel's
grapplers finished first in his weight division. Westmar took
eight weight division championships with Northwestern picking
up the other two.
Placing for the Royals were Fred Ogamachi (118) 3rd,
Dave Peterson (134) 3rd, Bill Lott (150) 3rd, Jeff Zitzloff
(158) 3rd, Fred Witzgall (167) 2nd, Dave Hanks (177) 2nd,
and Jerry Flasch (HWT) 2nd.
It was the semi-final round that really hurt the Royals'
chances of even a second place finish in conference. Dave Peterson
and Bill Lott both lost one point decisions that kept them
out of championship contention. Bethel advanced three wrest-ten
lers to the finals only to see three strong opponents turn
back their valiant efforts. Fred Witzgall, who still holds the
best record of any wrestler in the conference, wrestled well
against a familiar opponent, Stan Peterson, of Westmar. Fred
beat Stan 5 - 3 last year in the final fifteen seconds of the
match to win conference. This year it was Fred who came out
on the short end of a 6 - 2 score. Dave Hanks wrestled Northwestern's
defending champion Dan Moser and also lost in an
exciting match that brought Moser the most valuable wrestler
award. Jerry Flasch was the Royals' last hope of a conference
champ but the odds were all in Westmar's favor as Paul Gorrell,
the colorful Eagle heavyweight, squelched any Royal hopes.
Bethel has had an exciting year as they compiled a 9 - 9
record and have outscored their opponents 432 - 403. Best
wishes go with the Royals who will go on to nationals in River
Falls, Wisconsin.

It's our editor Chris Hall's birthday today so to celebrate we thought we'd present him with not one cake but 101 of them. And what's better, they are all geek-based (and probably flour and eggs and that).
So we've collected the finest we've seen and pieced them all together for a big birthday party in our gallery.
Whether you're a gamer, a Star Wars fan, into your hardware or just a bit of sci-fi, it's pretty much guaranteed you'll find anything you can possibly think of made out of crumbs, icing and a lot of food dye. There's even an effort from Pocket-lint's own Stuart Miles in the mix. Can you guess which one it is?
If you've baked an amazing geek cake of your own, make sure to post the link in the comments below and, if you haven't, just tell us your favourite of the 101 or a gateaux that a geek out there should be making.

The more that I have studied the eyes, and the more that I teach people to gain better vision – as I have for over three decades – the more I appreciate how deep and profound our sense of sight is.
And, eye problems and imbalances are also a reflection of deeper imbalances and patterns of perception.
One example of this that I'd like to talk about today is nearsightedness (myopia), or not being able to see clearly in the distance.
Beyond not being able to focus clearly in the distance, what does being nearsighted say about who you are and how you approach the world?
Researchers have been asking that question for more than 100 years, and what they have found both holds the key to a more holistic understanding of vision and a way to improve your sight.
Studies going back to the 1900's demonstrate that there is a relationship between personality and vision - that people who are nearsighted tend to exhibit certain personality patterns and traits more often than people who are not nearsighted.
In the mid-1970s a Harvard researcher wrote a paper in which he summarized all the research that showed a relationship between nearsightedness and personality. The basic thrust of his paper was that people who are nearsighted, who can't see far away, have pulled their world into them or have retreated from one part of the world in some way or another. So, in terms of these personality measurements, nearsighted people tend to be more introverted, to lack a certain amount of social confidence and are shyer.
Interestingly, we don't need research to tell us this. We know it intuitively.
What happens in the movies when the director or writer wants to portray a character who is timid, lacks a little confidence, is shy or introverted? They put glasses on him, right? We subconsciously recognize that the need for glasses goes with that personality type.
The stereotypes we see in the movies are often just a superficial reflection of a deeper truth. Look at some of the writings of people who are involved in spiritual development and personal growth. Years ago Louise Hay wrote the groundbreaking book, You Can Heal Your Life. In her book she lists a variety of physical dysfunctions and diseases and outlines what the inner psychological or psycho-emotional aspect is that connects to that issue. She says that for nearsightedness it's the unwillingness to see what's ahead, to see what's coming.
Jane Roberts, author of Seth Speaks, says that not being able to see the world clearly is a manifestation or reflection of a part of yourself that you don't want to see.
All these examples point to what I call the "nearsighted personality", which is much more than what's going on in the eyes. It is reflected in the body, the mind and the emotions. Again, let's look at the movies: the character who wears glasses and looks a little timid and shy and lacking in confidence, particularly the social type of confidence—well, there's a whole personality that goes with that. It's not just the glasses, it's also the shyness, it's also the way they carry themselves physically, its also the way they think about themselves or think about the world or think about their relationship to other people. So the personality of nearsightedness has a physical component, a emotional component, a mental component, a perceptual component, a self image component, and it has a physical eyesight component as well.

How To Remove GimmieAnswers Spyware Virus, TDLS Alias Alureon
Earlier today a client called and said he had a virus or some spyware on his computer that could not be removed. The client was remote so I had to login to his computer to investigate. I used the typical tools such as Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials but the issue still existed. It seemed as if the computer had a proxy server configured but the proxy did not show underneath Internet Explorer connection settings or any of the other browsers. It didn't happen all of the time but every now and then a pop up window would appear for the site GimmieAnswers.org and some other pop ups regarding "Daily Giveaway Contests" were also displaying. Below is more information on how the issue was resolved.

Anthrax rocker Frank Bello has heaped praise on actor Penn Badgley for agreeing to sing live for his role as Jeff Buckley in a new biopic about the late star.
Badgley plays the tragic musician in "Greetings from Tim Buckley," and his portrayal has been given the seal of approval from his co-star Bello, who plays punk icon Richard Hell in the upcoming movie.
The Anthrax bassist says, "I was a Jeff Buckley fan, and (Badgley) had balls of steel to do the singing and get the acoustic and just go for it."
Badgley brushed up on his guitar skills for the role and even played a gig in Brooklyn, N.Y., last summer to prepare for the part, but admits he had very little rehearsal time due to clashes with his work on TV series "Gossip Girl."
He explains, "It would've been hard to do without the live performance, even if I'd done singing afterward or recorded it before, which is more common… It would've stolen everything we had going for us with the vibe. It was almost impossible to rehearse – we often had no time."
Badgley's film about singer, who drowned in a river in 1997 at the age of 30, is one of several upcoming projects about Buckley – Broadway star Reeve Carney is also set to appear in a separate biopic.

I normally wouldn't order a salad when we go out for Thai food (because I crave noodles and rice), but this just sounded sooo good that I couldn't help myself. We found a great little Asian restaurant in Cary called the Tangerine Cafe and this salad sounded so interesting that I had to try it. Plus, I knew that I could have some of the girls' Pad Thai so I really wasn't going to miss out on my carbs.
The salad at Tangerine Cafe has green papaya, jicama, tomatoes and a Tamarind sauce. The salad in the picture above is pretty similar except I didn't have any tomatoes or jicama in the house. Many of the recipes also call for dried shrimp, but I just added a little extra fish sauce.
I had this salad the next time we went out for Thai Food in Tysons Corner, VA after out trip to the American Girl Doll store. As soon as I saw it I knew I was going to order it again. This time they served it with grilled shrimp which was wonderful.
The salad is a little bit spicy, a little bit sweet, and a little bit salty….which is everything that I love about Thai Food. Plus, its so fresh tasting so you feel good about eating it. Trust me, you won't be able to stop eating this, but unlike a noodle or rice dish it's ok…because it's just a salad:-). Enjoy!
Recipe adapted from Thai Table
Thai Green Papaya Salad
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- 6 green beans cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 cups shredded green papaya I found this pre-shredded in my local Asian market
- 3/4 lime
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons toasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon Thai chili paste
- 6 Cherry Tomatoes halved and 1 tablespoon dried shrimp (I didn't have either when I made this but ideally I would have liked to add at least the tomatoes.
- Ideally this salad is made using a mortar and pestle, however, I don't have one as I am sure many others don't. I used the bottom of my meat tenderizer and gently crushed the ingredients in a stainless steel mixing bowl. This seemed to work ok.
- In the bottom of your bowl smash the garlic clove. Add the green beans and tomatoes (if using) and pound them to bruise them slightly. Add the remaining ingredients and use the pestle (or whatever tool you are using) to mix the ingredients well by pushing into the bowl.
- Enjoy!

What is Hydro Jetting In Granite Reef Estates, AZ?
Hydro – jetting was originally used to pressure wash the inner walls of a drainpipe to remove grease or build up and was typically used for restaurants that have very greasy drain lines. Times have changed, we now have special nozzles that can cut tree roots in a sewer line like a water laser. Hydro jetting is the only proven method that will flush your sewer or drain 100%.
What are the benefits of Hydro Jetting?
The benefits of hydro jetting verses a standard drain snake is that the drain snake will rotate as the plumber pushes the cable into the drain pipe... moving whatever is clogging the drain to clear the stoppage. Hydro jetting will completely wash any and all objects in the line, leaving you with a spotless drain or sewer. Hydro jetting tends to be a little more expensive but the end result is a cleaner pipe.
Who Needs A Hydro Jetting Service in Granite Reef Estates?
Residential customers * Restaurants * Apartments * Agricultural & farmers
The hydro jetter maintenance process should be a regular consideration. For example, a restaurant that uses grease products, a sewer that backs up on a regular bases with tree roots or those drains around a pool that have dirt sitting in the bottom all year long. Hydro jetting will wash the drain pipe clean.
We offer a full range of plumbing services. Whether it is a small job or a large job, our technicians are fully trained and available, 24 hours a day. We offer free estimates on all replacements or installations. Our experienced plumbers can also address any other plumbing problems in Granite Reef Estates you might have.

Italy is one of the least rural countries in the OECD. Nonetheless, many of the international products identifiable by the "Made in Italy" brand are produced in rural areas in the north and in the centre of the country.
Despite the good average performance, a number of structural trends are undermining the sustainability of rural Italy. For example, rural areas have persistent demographic challenges; the concentration of elderly is very high and it is not balanced by immigration of foreign workers.
Ageing, in turn, impacts negatively the delivery of key public services such as health care and education in rural areas. In addition, the undermanaged link between the urban and rural territories and agriculture use is increasing the pressure on water threatening the long-term sustainability of the environment.
In this context, the Italian approach to rural policy appears to be short-sighted. The existing national rural policy framework is very complex and reflects a differentiated notion of "rural", which continues to be influenced largely by EU agricultural and regional development policy frameworks. However, Italian rural communities would benefit more from a strategic vision that co-ordinates different sectoral policies, such as health and education, and embrace other aspects of rurality to tap local assets and promote quality of life.
A new approach to rural policy in Italy could also improve the effectiveness of public investment, thus reducing the overall need for public funds in the future. Key priorities for future rural policy should include a focus upon stronger territorial analysis, and more emphasis upon rural quality of life and enhanced access to services, particularly for women, young people, and the elderly. More investment in the environment and the "new environmental economy", particularly to exploit sustainable forest management and to promote renewable energy generation in rural areas, is warranted.
Italy is one of the least "rural" countries within the OECD. According to the OECD classification only 27% of the national territory is predominantly rural (PR). These regions are home to 10% of the national population and produce 8% of the national GDP. A large part of the territory is classified as intermediate rural (IR) which host 37% of the national population, and produce 34% of the national GDP. This chapter provides a detailed profile of Italy's rural areas, analyses its main trends, and discusses on its challenges and opportunities.
• The rural economy. On average, Italy's predominantly rural regions (PRs) have some of the highest GDP per capita among the OECD rural regions. For instance, Aosta and Belluno, the richest PRs in Italy, rank respectively third and seventh within the OECD PRs in terms of GDP per capita. Rural Italy's good performance could be linked to good accessibility, great cultural and natural amenities, and entrepreneurship. The rich endowment of coast, plain and mountains provides rural regions with numerous tourism opportunities. In fact, rural Italy was home to some 17 thousand farm guesthouses in 2006, 9.3% more than in 2005. Manufacturing represents an important part of the rural economy in Italy. In 2003, 12% of Italian manufacturing firms (541 thousand) were in PRs. In some cases the concentration of firms took the form of a diffused small-scale industrialisation with a productive framework strongly interlinked with the local community and an intense division of labour among firms. Although it is generally declining, agriculture continues to provide a number of services, in the field of environment and amenities, and it also represents a cultural background that supports a number of successful economic activities, such as the food industry.
• The sustainability of rural Italy is in question as such, there are a number of important aspects that rural policy could target: 1) the high concentration of elderly in rural areas which is at times interchangeable with depopulation; 2) the ageing and depopulation's negative impact on the accessibility to key public sectors such as health care and education; 3) the ability to integrate foreign workers in rural areas; 4) the mismanaged integration between rural and urban territories; and, 5) the overall situation of the environment and in particular the need to reduce the pressure that agriculture puts on water resources in some areas of the country.
The rural development policy approach in Italy features two coordinated national strategies (Pillar 2 and Regional development). However, the approach lacks a distinct, integrated strategic vision that embraces other aspects of rurality including health, education and rural quality of life.
The allocation of funds for rural development policy maintains a strong primary sector focus and the over-emphasis upon available EU funding and spending efficiency in programme planning is problematic for several reasons.
The second chapter describes the rural development policy approach in Italy, and analyses these issues and discusses the governance mechanisms underpinning the design and delivery of rural policy.
This chapter sets out a number of policy recommendations to help the Italian rural policy adapt better to the heterogeneous and rapidly evolving context it faces. For instance, there is a need to develop a strategic rural policy framework that incorporates better the social, economic, and environmental issues that characterise rural Italy.
This approach should also involve a greater mix of rural actors from different economic, social and environmental sectors, and should be designed and delivered through stronger, active partnerships between all relevant sectoral Ministries. The policy will also need to be supported by the appropriate policy institutions and governance as well as improve the quality and accessibility of rural services for all rural residents.
In addition there should be more territorial sensitivity in the identification and promotion of appropriate economic diversification, particularly in areas that add value to local rural resources: foods, customs, cultures, skills and heritage.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Neither snow nor slime: Some mail really <i>is </i>slow
Q. Is snail mail ever literally slow as a snail? –B. Franklin
A. Snail mail will cross the North American continent in a few days, averaging maybe 60 mph. Make that overnight mail, and this doubles to 120 mph or so. It would take a snail going .006 mph (.1 inch per second) half a century to make the same journey. However, mail something to your neighbor down the street and next-day delivery will put it there at an average speed of maybe 30 feet per hour– literally the speed of a snail.
Q. It turns out that a baseball outfielder chasing down a long fly ball and a dog catching a tossed Frisbee have a lot in common. Explain. –W. Herzog
A. Both employ the LOT model of retrieving objects in flight, for "linear optical trajectory." Here the player tries to keep the image of the ball at a relatively stable spot on his retina, so it appears to move in a straight line
of sight and constant speed relative to home plate and any background features, says Ivars Peterson in "MathTrek" online.
This is done unconsciously, reducing a complex 3-dimensional problem to a 2-dimensional one. The model helps explain why outfielders navigate an arc-shaped path to the ball rather than make a beeline for the expected landing spot, and why they may vary their pursuit speed. Naturally, long before LOT kicks in, fielding clues come from watching the batter's swing and listening for the sound of the ball hitting the bat– solid sweet smack vs off-center clunk, says Robert Adair in The Physics of Baseball.
As for the dog/catcher, a few Frisbee-tosssing scientists outfitted a canine named Romeo with a miniature video camera, battery pack, and transmitter to track the Frisbee's optical location at 30 frames per second, says Photonics Spectra magazine. The data showed the dog's course closely followed the LOT model, even when the toy was thrown to veer off at a new angle in midflight.
Q. Hospitalized, you overhear the doctor tell your family, "I think we can say about Mr. Smith's condition that
it's all downhill from here." Reason for hope, or should you check to make sure your life insurance is paid up? What's the usage doctor's prognosis? –A. Taylor
A. Ambiguous at best, because "going downhill" is one of those phrases that can go both ways, says Mark Davidson in Right, Wrong and Risky: A Dictionary of Today's American English Usage. Things can be getting increasingly better– you'll be coasting– or increasingly worse– everything is deteriorating. Maybe the doctor's being deliberately vague with your family, or isn't up on the nuances of language. At least he didn't say "It's all uphill from here."
Q. Why might a submarine skipper seek out a colony of "killer" shrimp, such as the snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochaelis or the peacock mantis shrimp Odontodactylus scyllarus? –C. Nemo
A. The snapping shrimp goes after prey by snapping its oversized claw nearby, expelling a jet of water and creating noisy collapsing bubbles (cavitation) that stun or kill the intended meal, says Jearl Walker in The Flying Circus of Physics. The pressure variation here can be so severe it sets off a flash of light– "sonoluminescence." The peacock shrimp also produces sound pulses via cavitation, but the bubbles are due to the snapping motion of the feeding appendage, which rapidly flicks toward prey. The oceans are indeed alive with sound, and in some places so much sound is produced by shrimp that a submarine can avoid sonar detection by hiding next to a hungry colony.
Q. What's the trick to riding your bicycle upside down? –T. Ely
A. Lots of "centrifugal" force along a loop-the-loop track, as performed by Allo "Dare Devil" Diavolo in a 1901 circus stunt, says David Halliday in Fundamentals of Physics. Diavolo coasted down a long runway, building up speed until he hit the approximately 2.7-meter- radius loop, then up and over he went. Calculates Halliday: Using the v-squared/r formula, yielding centripetal acceleration, this figures to a minimum necessary speed for Diavolo of 5.1 meters/second, or about 11.5 mph to prevent his losing contact with the upper loop and falling– uggghhh! Interestingly, this speed requirement was independent of Diavolo's weight and the weight of the bicycle.
"Had he feasted on, say, pierogies before his performance, he still would have had to exceed only 5.1 meters per second," Halliday writes.
