FRANKFORT, Ky. (June 21, 2013) – Governor Steve Beshear today announced Accuride Corporation (NYSE: ACW), a leading supplier of components to the North American commercial vehicle industry, is investing $5.8 million to expand its powder coating capacity with the installation of a new state-of-the-art coating line at its steel wheel production facility in Henderson. The paint technology upgrade will stabilize the current employment level at the plant with expectations to add 30 jobs as Accuride and the North American trucking industry gain momentum over the next few years.
"Accuride Corporation has been a part of the Commonwealth for nearly four decades, and that commitment and tradition is even stronger now, thanks to this expansion," said Gov. Beshear. "The company's dedication to Henderson is evident in the plans for 30 new jobs over the next few years, as well as a $5.8 million investment in advanced equipment to upgrade its coating technology at the plant."
A leading manufacturer of steel wheels for commercial vehicles, Accuride's Henderson facility was established in 1974 as part of what was then Firestone Steel Products, the forerunner of Accuride Corporation. The plant employs about 160 associates and operates its 364,000-square-foot manufacturing center on 118 acres in Henderson. Accuride plans to upgrade its operations with the installation of a new, advanced-technology coating line, which will expand its already significant powder coating capacity.
Accuride's customer base includes heavy-duty commercial truck and trailer original equipment manufacturers, commercial vehicle fleets, and distributors in the commercial vehicle aftermarket. The Henderson facility also is home to Accuride's wheel research and development center, as well as the company's wheel product development and testing facilities.
"Our commitment to install an advanced-technology coating line at our Henderson plant will strengthen our ability to supply industry-leading steel wheel products to the North American commercial vehicle market," said Rick Dauch, Accuride president and CEO. "Henderson's range of steel wheels provides customers with several options to reduce vehicle weight, boost fuel economy, fight corrosion and achieve long-life performance. Thanks to its new paint line, Henderson will stand alone in the industry in its ability to formulate customized coating solutions and deliver them via its advanced new coatings process."
To encourage the investment and job growth in Henderson, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives up to $600,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the term of the agreement through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets.
"Accuride's plan to expand its operations in Henderson and increase employment levels in the future, is very good news," said Sen. Dorsey Ridley, of Henderson. "The company's $5.8 million investment will allow our community to keep reaping the rewards of good jobs at Accuride and the local companies supporting the project, as well as continue to stimulate the economic growth and development of our area. I am proud to have Accuride here in Henderson, and am pleased with their continued success. I applaud Gov. Beshear for taking the lead in supporting the expansion of our good corporate friend."
"Accuride has long been a great corporate partner for our community, and I am very pleased to see it undertake such a major expansion," said Rep. David Watkins, of Henderson. "This company adds to Kentucky's already strong reputation in the automotive industry, and the jobs and investment could not come at a better time. I want to thank our local and state officials for working with Accuride to help make this possible."
"Henderson County is always excited to be involved in the process of helping a local company expand," said Henderson County Judge-Executive Hugh McCormick. "The expansion that is taking place at Accuride Corporation will have an extremely positive impact on the entire region, one that we know will prosper for many years to come."

A new online job board that links employment-hungry college kids with local families and businesses in need of hired help will launch in Fairfield County this summer.
QuadJobs is the brain child of three Greenwich women -- co-founders Bridie Clark Loverro, Andra Newman and Betsy O'Reilly -- who wanted to create a service that provides savvy students with a gold mine for jobs and employers with a Rolodex of pre-vetted job candidates.
Loverro, a novelist who co-founded New Haven-based Blue State Coffee, said she and her partners were inspired to create the online job board by their memories of trying to build up a resume of work experience as college students.
"All three of us had taken odd jobs that didn't really amount to much on our resumes," she said. "Whether it was baby-sitting, dog walking, piano lessons -- we felt like there was something missing in the way we as college students found jobs and the way they were tracked. So we came up with QuadJobs as something that we feel is the way for college kids to break the cycle of, `You need experience to get jobs and you need jobs to get experience.' "
Loverro said the service is equally valuable for employers. "Here in Fairfield County, where we have larger than average households, people need extra help and it's great to have college kids to come into your home and help you with what you need, be it a mom who wants to hire a calculus tutor for her child or a small business looking for people to make deliveries."
The three founders come from diverse backgrounds. O'Reilly is a former banker and a member of the Brunswick School Parent Association. Newman has worked in human resources and recruitment for a decade at places like Abercrombie & Fitch and J. Crew.
QuadJobs will start recruiting students Aug. 13 at Fairfield University, Norwalk Community College, Manhattanville College in Purchase, N.Y., Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, State University of New York at Purchase, and the University of Connecticut at Stamford. The company has already begun signing up student ambassadors to drum up interest on their campuses for QuadJobs.
Loverro said the company won't begin soliciting gigs from employers until late September, when she hopes the site will have an established pool of hundreds of students from all backgrounds and skill sets ready to be hired.
"The reason we're focused exclusively on college and graduate students is it's flexible, smart help," Loverro said. "You can find that amazing tutor or you can find that guy from the lacrosse team to come throw the lacrosse ball with your child on a Saturday afternoon and know you have someone of high quality."
As students land and complete jobs, their employers will have the option to review their performance, creating a track record of each student's experience.
"We're trying to replicate the word-of-mouth way of networking in a digital way," Loverro said. "The feedback loop it really important because it gives employers a certain level of comfort in hiring. It allows them to basically have a reference immediately without having to make phone calls."Read Full Article
The service is free to students. Employers will pay an $8.95 monthly subscription fee in exchange for the ability to post unlimited listings for full-time, part-time, seasonal or one-time jobs.
"We've put a lot of time, effort and money into a very sophisticated website so that you're not just throwing a job posting out into the world and seeing replies," Loverro said. "This is a really targeted process. Kids who are really hard-working and go after these jobs are going to do really well with it."

So in what has to be one of the most surreal moments of my godlessness I was asked by a close friend of mine to speak to her Sunday school class about atheism. The kids are between 15-17 and "non-denominational." My friend has sworn that this isn't some sort of malicious attempt to convert me, and I trust her on that.
I said I would give the lecture.
So people of ThinkAtheist here's my question for you:
If you could tell young Christians (in the south no less) about your atheism what would you tell them?
Views: 1717
I agree about morality. We can do what is right without fear of supernatural punishment. Just be good.
I disagree with the first part of your reply. As an atheist, I am sure there is no god. I am just as sure that there are no ghosts, demons, goblins, fairies, etc.
These aren't kids you are talking to, these are people who are soon to be adults. I think the best thing you can do is be up front and honest with them. Here are some things I'd try to touch on:
- What is an atheist?
- Debunking atheist stereotypes/ inform them of stigma that many atheists face.
- Reasons that people are atheists.
- Let the teens ask questions and address them honestly.
- Avoid trying to convince them to be atheist, simply give them the information let them ask questions and if you feel comfortable give them a way to contact you on case they want to further discuss this topic with you.
Agree with this approach. Simple. Straight to the point. If you need to get into details about other topics, you will be prompted to do so with questions.
I like this approach. I think answering their questions will be really helpful.
I was typing something similar till I read your response.
This sounds good to me too. You _might_ also bring up the "we atheists just disbelieve in one more god" line, or try to point out to them that other religions believe what they believe just as fervently as they do (as a way of pointing out deep inner convictions are not an argument), and that it's striking that religions cluster by geographical area. I'd keep that stuff in my back pocket and bring it out if you think you can do so without raising the ire of your hosts.
I would not aggressively try to deconvert them under any circumstances, but get them to see we don't breath fire, kill babies, etc.
"get them to see we don't breath fire, kill babies, etc."
This, this, a hundred times this. The approach Steveln is commenting on is definitely superb, but the above quoted comment he made on it, is a must--I know way too many fellow believers who, besides believing in one god, also believe atheists are godless heathens. I try to remind them that "How many holy wars have been directly started by atheism?" and "How many horridly inhumane acts have atheists committed in the names of their gods?" But to no affect; they just counter with "Atheists don't have a reason to kill someone, true...They also don't have any set of moral guidelines, though, that tell them *not* to kill somebody for their ice cream cone."
What a freaking load of bunk, that is; atheism stands by logic. And logic dictates there are many reasons to do what most people think is the "right" thing, morally. Just because atheists lack a set of rules given by any sort of god, that doesn't mean you lot lack any set of rules. Just means you decide upon your own, and you have the freedom to pick and choose which ideas from which religions and other things that you want to incorporate in your personal rulebooks.
I swear, people are so damnably dense about this sort of thing; just because someone can be dangerous, that doesn't mean they're anywhere near guaranteed to be.
Edit: Take me, for example. I walk into my psychology classroom cleaning out the teeth of a saw, with the blade of a knife. I play with fire and electricity (often using electricity to start the fire), screw around with knife and swordplay, practice martial arts, etc. etc. etc...Yet most people who know me understand my rulebook well enough to know I wouldn't maim/kill anyone, even in self defense (in self defense, I'd merely incapacitate them temporarily; apply first aid to any damage I do).
I'd suggest too that you anticipate someone in the class taking an adversarial Xian position, so be prepared. Don't let them derail the discussion, but point out their fallacies & correct their false assumptions.
Great plan of action. I would add only one thing. Since your talk will be about why you don't believe in the supernatural, you could mention the awe inspiring aspects of reality. That the universe is between 12 and 14 billion years old, and that earth is 4.5 billion years old. That humans, just as we are today,have walked on this earth for 250 thousand years. Truly magnificent and divine when you reflect upon it.
Be very delicate about how you approach this. You know what your friend will approve of and not. I would stay AWAY from telling them how BAD god is. Or about the wars that were waged in his name. Though this may be okay to talk about with your friends approval the kids still have parents that may not think the same. Talk about good things about atheism and notable misconceptions.
Science is a good, lack of burden is a healthy, knowing that doing good without god is very rewarding feeling. Some misconceptions are that we are devil worshipers, or are free to do bad things. That we lie about everything, that we are unhappy. They may even be surprised to know that a majority of atheist use to be religious and that they share common views but but different beliefs.
Well I hope this gives something to consider. Good luck, I give you props for doing it.
This might help to break some ice - Ask them which of the following they think are Atheists or Christians -
Jodie Foster
Sean Penn
Natalie Portman
Keanu Reeves
Angelina Jolie
John Malkovich
Jack Nicholson
George Clooney
Bruce Willis
(all Atheists)
Usually when speaking to a group one or two will come primed with questions they have been told to ask. Usually these fall into the Science / Evolution category. However politely inform them that you are only there to discuss beliefs or the lack of them.

Using Positive Psychology to AIM for a Positive Life
According to Positive Psychology, you need to take three main steps in order to achieve health and wellbeing. They are covered by the acronym AIM:
Attending: Pay attention to the genuinely good stuff which happens to you. Don't just filter it out.
Interpreting: Don't always view experiences in a negative light. See the positive wherever you can.
Memorising: Remember positive events and paint positive mental pictures of your experiences.

*Edited by King Boonen* You will wait forever but there will be an absolute "no-show". You keep speaking to their customer service, they keep mailing you tracking details with all the more fake information on your shipment you can imagine. They keep excusing themselves blaming you that the recipient was unavailable but surprisingly you receive no calls from the courier partners and you keep requesting for refunds but only in the form of store credits. You get no order, they get to keep you busy with their fine play for an year and get away smoothly with brainless fashion-bloggers (who give no thought to what they are associating their otherwise reputable name with) endorsing their no-at-all-real products. End of story.
I will not recommend Victor & Liberty anyone.

The decrease in defense funding and the housing bubble are creating an 'uneasy feeling.'
Ten years of war has made Fort Bragg, N.C., and the neighboring city of Fayetteville a magnet for federal support and sympathy. But as the war in Iraq comes to an end this month, base and city officials hope President Obama will use his visit on Wednesday to allay their fears about a possible dwindling of population numbers and the Pentagon lifeline that has kept the area afloat-both economically and emotionally. Over the course of the decade, Fayetteville's population grew 65.7 percent, bringing its total to 200,564 in the 2010 census. And Fort Bragg spokesman Ben Abel estimates 150,000 people (mostly, but not all from Fayetteville) either live on the military base or come to work there daily. The boom brought federal money into family and mental-health support services, construction projects, and new jobs for civilians on the base. But the Iraq drawdown threatens that support, specifically because of its timing around talks of defense cuts in Washington. President Obama has proposed a $450 billion cut to the defense budget over the next 12 years. Already Fort Bragg is carrying out a federal mandate to eliminate more than 400 civilian jobs. Whether the community will dry up after the war is anybody's guess, though everybody seems to be guessing. According to Brandon Plotnick, spokesman for the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce, businesses are hopeful that the community that has grown up over the past decade will continue after the Iraq war, unlike the fallout following the first Gulf War. "[After Desert Storm] military action sort of died out, people disappeared," Plotnick said. "But there's a different culture and feeling around here now. People say, 'Hey, these people are going to stay and be part of our community.'" But another ill-timed hit to Fayetteville is a housing bubble created by Base Realignment and Closure legislation that, according to Plotnick, brought an estimated 50,000 military personnel and their families to the area from the closed Ft. McPherson in Atlanta. Developers went overboard to accommodate the newcomers who, in the end, were unable to sell their homes in Atlanta. Many of the new houses are now undervalued. The decrease in defense funding and the housing bubble create what Plotnick calls an "uneasy feeling" among business owners and what Army wife Rebekah Sanderlin called a "perfect storm". Sanderlin, a local magazine editor from Nashville, Tenn., said it took her a long time to adjust to life in Fayetteville; now she says she can't imagine ever leaving. She fears federal cuts to services like counseling, which she says saved her marriage after her husband returned home a changed person. "Now you have couples who are not used to living together trying to live together," Sanderlin says. Thousands of troops are now returning to the U.S. after tours in Iraq that often last 12 months. "There's a fear that resources in the community may be tapped dry," she said. Some of those resources go toward counseling. In 2002, over the span of six weeks, four soldiers returning from war to Fayetteville shot their wives. Two turned the guns on themselves. "It cuts both ways," Sanderlin says of war's effect on Fayetteville. "We have a high divorce rate, high alcoholism rate, high spousal and child-abuse rate. But at the same time you have a community that pulls together and we have a high volunteer rate."

The same evening, members of
the Edgren Dorm council were
discussing matters of new business
with Dean Bajuniemi. The Dean
stated, "I know it's spring, fellas,
but this inter dorm activity has to
stop." His statement was punctu-ated
by a Hagstrom resident who
came bursting through the french

The United States Senate has
approved by a 53-26 vote a plan
to provide a federal income tax
credit of up to $325 for tuition,
books and fees paid by students in
colleges, universities and other
post-high school institutions. Final
enactment of the plan probably
will depend on the decisions made
by a Senate-House Of Representa-tives
conference committee.
The tax credit plan was offered
Friday, April 14, 1967, by Senator
Abraham Ribicoff, D-Conn., as an
amendment to a House-passed bill
which would restore the invest-ment
tax credit to businessmen.
Under the amendment offered
by Ribicoff and accepted by the
Senate, the tuition and fee credit
is 75 per cent of the first $200
paid, 25 per cent of the next $300
and 10 per cent of the next $1,000.
The credit is subtracted from the
income tax owed the government.
The credit is available to any
person who pays the tuition. Thus,
it would be available to working
students and wives as well as to
parents and other relatives. Par-ents
with more than one child in
college or graduate school may get
a separate credit for each.
"Over two-thirds of the benefits
of this amendment would go to
families earning less than $10,000
a year," Ribicoff said. A formula

available to high bracket taxpay-ers.

So far, he has taken no public stand
on the measure which long has
been opposed by the national Ad-ministration.
In offering the tuition tax credit
amendment, Senator Ribicoff said
there is an urgent need for tax
relief for persons faced with the
increasing costs of higher educa-tion.
"In the long run," he said,
"my amendment would serve all
America. For our strength lies not
just in the richness of our soil,
not just in the wealth of the fac-tories
of our vast, complex physi-cal
technology—but in our minds,
in our skills, in our ability to use
these wisely and well."

Behind Disenchantment With Vietnam
Ed. Note.
The following editorial taken from the November 1, 1947
issue of the CLARION is overwhelming evidence that editorials
really work.
Are you a member of a clique here at Bethel? Oh, you say, there
aren't any cliques at Bethel! But do you know what a clique is? Noah
Webster says a clque is a "small exclusive set of persons."
When you go to eat at the cafeteria do you always go with the
same people and all sit at the same table? Or, if someone from outside
your group sits at your table do you leave him out of your conversation?
If you're in the coffeeshop do you sit with the same bunch—never
offering a stranger a place? How about when you're riding on a streetcar
if you see someone from Bethel, do you go and speak to him or do
you refrain from doing so because you don't go around with his clique?
Should there he such a difference between the Freshmen and
Sophomores? Why are the same few in everything while the rest have
to take a back seat when they perhaps have just as much talent? How
are we ever going to get to know one another if we have our separate
Most of us came to Bethel because we wanted to study under
Christian professors, have many Christian friends, and to prepare our-selves
for future Christian service. Some of us were quite discouraged
however when we found that unless we pushed ourselves forward we
were left with only our roommate as our friend. Is seems that we should
all have something in common which should make it easier to become
friends. Let's be more friendly. How about doing away with these
cliques so we can all get to know each other?
—Gordon Krantz
Result: we don't get cliquish on streetcars anymore. JPL
Kashmir Becomes Unique Historical
Problem For United Nations Troops
Ed. note. The following arti-cle
is taken from the WORLD
PRESS COMMENT section of
ATLAS magazine, a journal
analyzing the world press.
Blossoms bursting in the sun and
freshly turned earth scented the
countryside, but the season seemed
to promise only withered hopes
for an effective step toward end-ing
the frustrated war in Asia.
At home and abroad, the dilem-ma
of Vietnam appeared to have
deepened and darkened. Useful di-alogue
with North Vietnam had
been throttled before it could get
started. Backstage efforts to de-velop
a mutually acceptable de-escalation
formula were undertak-en
frequently and futilely. Then,
to underscore the dilemma, Hanoi
took special pains to make its
official position publicly and cold-ly
clear. What Hanoi did so delib-erately

Editor's Combat Against
Bethel. Cliques Pays Off
The Kashmir dispute, like the
Arab-Israeli Wars, the Korean con-flict,
the Cyprus affair, and many
other world hot spots smoulder
slowly out of the world press. The
American press in particular has
been devoting its meagre foreign
affairs column to the war in Viet-nam.
Rarely do these other disputes
command the headlines they once
One of the first headaches con-fronting
the young United Nations
was the Kashmir dispute. Having
flared up in 1947 during the divi-sion
of the Indian sub-continent
into Pakistan and India, U.N. peace
keeping troops were rushed to the
scene. Though they have been able
to preserve an uneasy truce, the
solution is not yet resolved, and is
the source of much tension between
the two countries.
Presently, Kashmir is governed
by a Hindu bureacracy, yet it is
populated by mostly Moslems. In
the heated aftermath of the parti-tion,
Mr. Nehru had promised the
Kashmiris, and the Pakistanis that
a plebicite would be conducted to
find out popular sentiment in the
Needless to say, once having
entrenched itself, the Indian gov-ernment
was not about to give up
its grasp of Kashmir. Kashmir
meant important tourist trade for
India, and the accompaying foreign
exchange, a necessity in short sup-ply.
There are other reasons that the
Indians have not surrendered Kash-mir.
Kashmir has become a pres-tige
issue. The intense hatred be-tween
Pakistan and India find their
focal point in the Kashmir dis-pute.
Were India to give it up,
she would have a great issue to set-tle
with her own people. Indian
officials are also aware that fo-cussing
national attention on the
Kashmir dispute will detract from
preoccupation with such perennial,
problems as food shortage and gov-ernment
Furthermore, Kashmir controls
the head waters of the Indus river,
life stream of West Pakistan. Not
only that, it is the source of many
of India's great rivers including
the Five Rivers of the Punjab.
It is also in control of the Mother
of India, the Ganges.
The hatred and feeling associ-ated
with this dispute is far too
deep to be dissolved by a political
settlement. In fact, much like the
Arab-Israeli disagreements, the af-fair
has its roots back in the Mos-lem
era when the intense conflict
between Moslems and Hindus was

Announcement came Monday,
April 17, that Leonard Sammons
has just resigned his post as News-worthy
Briefings columnist for the
CLARION. Leonard began his ca-reer
as a journalist for the CLAR-ION
last semester with his fine
job of reporting on the Student
Senate. Though there was some
speculation that the reporting was
from a slightly biased viewpoint,
he continued until the end of the
semester when he quit of his own
volition. With the advent of second
semester, he began the Newsworth-y
Briefings column which was to
have a certain amount of color in
it. There were allegations, however,
that he substituted a bit of taint-ing
in place of the color.
Word came of Mr. Sammon's re-signation
along with an announce-ment
of the reclaiming of a letter
to the Editor that he had intended
for an upcoming edition of the
CLARION. Among other things, the
letter concerned an allegation of
biased reporting of Intra-mural
games with mention to the quality
of the refereeing ability of Mr.
Sammons. The specific allegation
was that statements by Wally Bor-ner
and Lynn Bergfalk were next

In the same way that Chiang

his Chinese minority, so Ayub has
succeeded in keeping the country

of the Kashmir dispute.

on a small item concerning
publication of the letter. Then, let-ting
his emotions carry him to
extremes, he emphatically stated
his resignation.

Dear Editor:
Our adventure actually began
when we were lifted by plane from
the 30F. climate of Minneapolis
into the 54+0 temperatures of Tex-as,
in only three hours. This, how-ever,
was the shortest leg of our
journey, timewise, for a 24-hour
bus ride brought us to our desti-nation,
Mexico City. For each of
us, this proved to be not only an
enjoyable vacation, but a cultural
education and a spiritual enlight-enment.
The day following our arrival
to the city, we were invited into
the houses of various members
from the local Baptist church. Mov-ing
into the homes allowed us the
opportunity to try our language
facility and the experience of liv-ing
within the culture. A visit to
the University of Mexico and to
one of the secondary schools pro-vided
some insight into the educa-tional
system there. Included in
our visit were tours to the Anthro-pological
Museum and some of the
archeological sites, notably the pyr-amids
of Mexico, which provided us
with a background upon which this
culture is based.
The work of the church could
well stand as an example for us.

All teachers, students and alumni

A congregation of between 700 and
1000 attended a one-and-one-half
hour-long service. In the afternoon,
the church operates eighteen mis-sion
churches in the poorer sec-tions
of town. Services at these
missions are conducted largely by
the young people. A student union
is operated under the direction of
the church on the campus of the
University of Mexico. Rev. Robert
Swanson has recently been ap-pointed
by the General Conference
to extend this work.
Along with the work of the
church, we were privileged to see
the Salvation Army program. An
extended officers' training program
and a significant men's work, also
undergoing extension, are being
conducted at the Headquarters in
the downtown area. Near the city,
a children's home has been estab-lished
to care for orphans or chil-dren
who are fatherless and whose
mothers must work.

Peace Corps Fights Health Problems
Rampant In Idyllic Island Paradise
The liberal arts graduate is corn-ing
of age as a factor in raising
the dismal health standards now
plaguing the developing world.
In countries where doctors and
trained medical personnel are too
few to staff even the handful of
existing hospitals and clinics, it
is the health "auxiliary" with basic
skills who must carry the practical
benefits of modern medical know-ledge
to the rural people who need
them most.
Until a year ago, the Peace Corps
customarily assigned volunteers
with liberal arts educations to
teaching and community develop-ment,
but in the Pacific and East
Asia regions particularly, the de-ployment
of volunteers recently
has begun to shift into health pro-grams
in a big way.
The first widespread use of lib-eral
arts graduates as volunteer
health workers has come in recent
months in Micronesia, the United
States' Pacific Trust Territory
which requested close to 500 vol-unteers
last year for jobs in all
sectors of development. Many of
them now are engaged in health
programs on the long-neglected is-lands.
Several hundred volunteers will
be required this summer and fall
to expand the application of the

health auxiliary concept in Micro-nesia
and to South Korea, Western
Samoa and other Pacific territor-ies.
In the villages dotting the shore-lines
and tropical slopes of Wes-tern
Samoa—the latest Peace Corps
program to be announced (April
17)—volunteers this year will take
up the important tasks of improv-ing
the health of a people who
accept parasites and disease as a
fact of life.
With the few trained medical
staff volunteer health workers in
Samoa will do basic health surveys,
man rural clinics and conduct di-sease
and environmental health
control projects.
The volunteers are expected to
start breaking down inbred and
traditional attitudes toward health
matters that prevent most people
from escaping the depressing cycle
of overpopulation, endemic disease
and short, unproductive lives.
Even if Western Samoa, or South
Korea or any other developing na-tion
had a million doctors availa-ble,
they would not be the persons
to direct the building of a vil-lage
water-supply system or clinic
or to suggest to an ill and isolated
people an awareness that there is
another way.
Susan Lewis and Jim B. Magnu-son
will be presenting a joint re-cital

You, like any other lovable, clean-living, freckle-faced
American kid, want to be a BMOC. How can you make it?
Well sir, there are several ways, none of which will
You're too puny to be an athlete, too lazy to be a valedic-torian,
and too hairy to run for Homecoming Queen.
As for becoming a best-dressed man, how are you going
to buy clothes with a miser for a father?
Are you licked then? Is there no way to make BMOC?
Yes, there is ! And you can do it ! Do what ? This :
Become a hippie ! Get cool ! Get alienated ! Have an
Identity Crisis ! Be one of the Others !
How ? Well sir, to become a hippie, simply follow these
five simple rules :
1. Read all of Tolkien in the original dwarf.
2. Have your Sophomore Slump in the freshman year.
3. Wear buttons that say things like this :
4. Go steady with a girl who has long greasy hair, a gui-tar,
enlarged pores, and thermal underwear.
5. Attend Happenings regularly.
This last item may require some explanation, for it is
possible that Happenings haven't reached your campus
yet. Be assured they will because Happenings are the big-gest
college craze since mononucleosis.
A Happening, in case you don't know, is the first form-less
art form. Things just happen. For example, eighty
naked men come out and squirt each other with fire hoses
containing tinted yogurt. Then eighty more naked men
come out and light birthday candles in the navels of the
first eighty men. Then one girl, clothed, comes out and
pulls three thousand feet of sausage casing through her
pierced ear. Then eighty more naked men come out and
eat a station wagon.
There is, of course, a musical accompaniment to all
these fun things. Usually it is "Begin the Beguine,' played
by 26 trench mortars, a drop forge, and a rooster.
There used to be, some years ago, still another require-ment
for becoming a hippie : a man had to have a beard.
But no longer. Beards were worn in the past not so
much as a protest, but because shaving was such a painful
experience. Then along came Personna Super Stainless
Steel Blades.
• Today if you don't want to shave, well, that's your
hangup, isn't it, baby? I mean when you've got a blade
like Personna that tugs not neither does it scrape, what's
your copout, man? I mean like get with it; you're living
in the past. Shaving used to hurt, used to scratch, used to
gouge, used to give you all kinds of static. But not since
Personna. It's a gas, man. It's a doozy ; it's mom's apple
pie. You dig?
I mean, man, you still want a beard? Crazy ! But you
don't have to turn your face into a slum, do you? Shave
around the bush, baby, neatly and nicely with Personna.
I mean like Personna comes in double-edge style and
Injector style too. I mean like any way you try it, you
gotta like like it.
* * * © 1967, Max Shulman
Hey, man, like how about doubling your shaving cool?
Like how about wilting those crazy whiskers with some

you got a better friend than your kisser? Like treat it

Ed. Note.
Given the raw material, success in athletic endeavors
rests on a foundation of hard work by the participants and
the support of the student body. This year, a lack of success
has been the most notable aspect of Bethel sports. Although
rationalizations and excuses are always available if one looks
hard enough, a fair analysis must place some of the blame
on what may be termed as less than ideal amounts of the two
factors mentioned above. In this week's column, Coach Mo
Shields, baseball and football mentor expresses his feelings
on this subject.
You have heard it mentioned in the Bible many times, in many
ways .. . Winning . . . "I have run the race and gained the prize.",
"I can do all things through Christ . . . ". In life we find second-best
effort gaining second-class results, and yet in our athletics here we
sometimes expect first class results from second class efforts. We fool
ourselves and depend too much on a "break" (or is it just charity?) to
make our athletic seasons successful.
Our student body is seemingly unaware of the athletic program.
What changes would winning seasons in 1967-1968 bring in the attitude
of both athlete and student?
We can no longer use the worn out excuses of "We're too small.";
"We are only a little church college"; "We don't offer athletic scholar-ships";
and worst of all, "Christians are naturally losers because of the
stand they take". We must face the fact that winning includes our
Christian life, our academic record, and all of the facets of our life.
I cannot believe God can be satisfied with the second-best efforts of-fered
by many Christians. A Christian athlete has more reason to give
100% effort than any other athlete. He is serving Christ with his
abilities and is being judged as a Christian as well as an athlete. He
cannot afford to be a loser.
If the student body expects and supports a winning athletic program
it gives the entire school a lift. If we happen to lose occasionally, take
it on the chin, offer no excuse, and work so it won't happen again. I
want a winning tradition here at Bethel, and nothing can start it going
and keep it alive except winning. Let's get on the right track and push
the "Royal Train" into a full head of steam.

…except for the fact that it is totally Monday….and go!
My house is a mess. A freaking mess. I was laying in bed last night thinking that if I died I'd be horrified for someone to come in and find the house this totally junky. I feel like I clean up all the time, but I guess I just wash dishes and clothes and let everything else fall by the wayside. I shouldn't spend this day off work cleaning, but if I can just get our bedroom clean I think I'll feel better. I don't feel like washing Lovegirl's hair. I was looking at it yesterday and thinking perhaps a perm isn't such a bad thing after all. I go through this every couple of months. Sigh. I'm looking forward to going home in a few weeks. Not looking forward to seeing my sister-in-law. Going to have to drum up some enthusiasm for that one. Hate I missed the baby's christening, but not really. Oh well. I really want someone to grill up a pack of these chicken hot dogs for me. How trifling would that be to post on facebook. Bought that dadgum Seche Vite topcoat. Not sure I'm impressed. Guess I'll do my nails again tonight since Smoochy swears up and down this color – which I know is a deep, deep teal – looks black. Guess I'll paint them a deep blue. Which will probably still look black. I certainly have eaten a bunch of junk in the last few days. I need to commit to clean eating next week. We'll see how that goes. Is this five minutes up yet? Ugh – there are times I wish I didn't type as fast as I did. My kid want to buy Pop the Pig – some game I have no desire to play. Maybe I should've had another kid. Is my iPod broken? I know five minutes are over!

DICK WATSON emerged in second place today with a 12.56-pound bag.
JAMES SMILEY sits in first place after day one, and also took big-fish honors for the first day with a 4.22-pound largemouth.
DAY-ONE AAA BIG FISH went to Paul Aznarez and this 3.76-pound smallmouth.
ANGLERS EAGERLY AWAIT their turn to launch.
THE anglers waits for the national anthem and the
presentation of the colors.
This evening's early check in took place at the Bass Pro Shops store in Henderson, Nev., where WON BASS talked briefly with Lake Mead expert and Bass Pro Shops employee Vern Price about the current conditions.
"The bite may be tough for some," Price said. "The water dropped from 80 degrees to 71 in about eight days. The conditions will definitely give some anglers an edge over others."
WON BASS staffer Andy Jackson also made sure to add, "Don't fish the salt cedar," as the fish just aren't hanging around it right now.
Although the cooler weather and influx of chillier water has dropped water temps significantly, it bodes beyond well for the fishery as a whole. Lake Mead's already up 40-plus feet from last year's levels, and it is expected to rise another 30 by the end of next year. In short, the lake is on track to becoming the fishery it was of yesteryear.
The official check in for this weekend's event takes place in the Mezzanine at the Boulder Station Hotel & Casino, Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. The tournament starts at sunrise, Saturday morning.
THE BASS PRO SHOPS store in Henderson hosted the early check-in this evening.

That one day I can walk into my office without having to kiss the cheeks of every last god damn mother fucker in here.
I used to love it. "La Bise" had its charm at one point, but this frogdition is forever spoiled for me now.
In America, this just isn't done. If you move in to plant one on my cheek, my response will involve two things: your ass, and my shoe. While you're on the ground wincing, a single tear escaping from your eyes as you try to dislodge my Coq Sportif, I'll wave my diamond in your face before leaving a hand-mark on your cheek. C'est la vie, buddy.
But over here, a we play by a different set of rules. Pretending to kiss on the cheek is not just allowed, it's obligatory. The kiss must go on, no matter what, no matter if I'm sick, no matter if you're sick, no matter if we're both sick, no matter if I have Ebola... you get the idea.
For some reason, sickness doesn't factor in to people's thought process when it comes to "La Bise". They apply the Nike motto, slightly modified:
Just do it...
or I'll assume that you're an anti-social FREAK and forgiveness will be virtually impossible because you will have insulted me beyond all common offense, you disgusting, uncultured, fat, American, FOOL.
So when my colleague, we'll call him Jean-Bise, decided to kiss me on the cheeks everyday for the rest of my career, I couldn't say no. He doesn't even do it properly. You're not supposed to TOUCH the person. They're air kisses, and even that is too much for your average germaphobic American under normal circumstances.
But we are not living in normal circumstances. It's the holidays, which means that everyone's lips go into Bise Overload. I think I could get away with smooching Sarkozy as long as it was preceded with a cheerful "Bonne Année!!!".
Then it happened. Jean-Bise caught a cough so monumentous that I felt the urge to make him a crown, drop down on one knee and yell "ALL HAIL THE PHLEGM KING" whenever he entered the room.
Yesterday I heard him coming and managed to scramble to the bathroom, a narrow escape, but today I was not so lucky. He sneezed next to me so loud I nearly fell out of my chair. Visions of viruses were dancing in my head as I saw him walking towards me. I froze like a deer in the headlights.
His grinning, feverish face moved in slow motion toward my right cheek. My palms gripped the armrest, and my eyes closed tight, preparing for the attack. His microbe-ridden lips made contact and I wanted to take a bath in antibacterial gel.
I ran to the bathroom and fanatically smeared my face with hand soap, but the damage was done. I started to feel sleepy, and it went downhill from there. First, my larynx swelled to the size of Montana. My voice morphed into a mix between Marge Simpson and Barry White. Imagine some sort of demonic creature. My body decided that doing useful things like digesting food and creating energy were a waste of time; making snot was much more important.
I'm not anti-kiss-kiss, really, I'm not. My only request is that if you've got the sniffles, step off or I'm chillin' out by your cubicle all day when I get swine flu.
I've no desire to spread my illness to every living soul I encounter, and this motivated me to commit the mother sin of all cardinal sins:
I refused to bise.
It was tantamount to telling someone they're a bag of germs. I wish I could properly illustrate the look on people's faces when I say "I'm not going to kiss you, I'm sick." It's a cross between... "I am so revolted, it has struck me utterly speechless" and "You infidel, if you had balls, I'd be kicking you square in the middle of them right this moment."
Apparently it's poorly seen to try to preserve the health of others; they'd rather be ill than be refused my faux-smacks. If they want their kiss so badly, then they're askin' for it.
BISE-STRIKE = Officially OVER.
Pucker up buttercup.
Pucker up buttercup.

In addition to the enhanced, high-definition visuals, all titles in the collection will support trophies and achievements, marking another first in the series!
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater opens the set, with series hero Snake entering a Soviet jungle where intelligence reports a vital scientist is being held captive. Set in the 60s of the Cold War, Snake Eater sees Snake using his stealth abilities in a whole new locale – under the cover of the jungle foliage where various camo fatigues can be used to sneak into areas undiscovered. The riveting plot then reveals a familiar face from Snake's past at its center.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker takes place a decade later and details the operations of Big Boss in Costa Rica. The year is 1974, and Costa Rica has been overrun by an organization of highly-trained mercenaries. Working with a squad of neutral troops, Snake soon uncovers a CIA plot, and becomes embroiled in a mission to thwart a nuclear threat. The timeline then moves on to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty, which is set in modern times and marks Raiden's first appearance in the series.
Solid Snake and Otacon receive intel that a new kind of Metal Gear vehicle is being transported across the Hudson River. Snake infiltrates the tanker, which is then seized by a group of Russian mercenaries lead by Revolver Ocelot. Two years pass, and a new terrorist faction calling themselves The Sons of Liberty have taken over the Big Shell base. New Fox Hound operative, Raiden, is sent to investigate.Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will also include conversions of the original Metal Gear titles as released on the MSX systems, and also includes the many VR Missions that were released alongside Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, offering an exhaustive overview of the most enduring video game series of all time.
The PlayStation Vita collection boasts enhanced versions of the acclaimed Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater titles, and both games enjoy graphical make-overs, trophies and bespoke controls systems designed to make the most of the PlayStation Vita's touch-screen capabilities. Similarly, the games enjoy a rebalanced user interface and make use of Kojima Productions' unique transfarring system for data sharing with PS3 units.

Again - what's so special about rural communities? Why not give more voting power to the poor? To racial and ethnic minorities? To women? To LGBTQ people? To people whose name start with a C? What's so unique about rural areas?
They're the Real America, obviously. Woe to them that deny this.
The losing with the EC breaks both ways, too - rural voters in states with big liberal metro areas and voters smaller liberal metro areas in large, mostly rural states are both underrepresented. The status quo in "safe states" is largely dependent on the minority party going into each election knowing it's a lost cause. The EC discourages voting in those situations.

SACRAMENTO -- Five Congressional Democrats have demanded the resignation of a top official in Gov. Jerry Brown's administration for comments the official allegedly made about the future of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
The controversy surrounds Jerry Meral, deputy director of the state Natural Resources Agency, who allegedly told officials that Brown's water plan was never about saving the delta and that in fact the delta could not be saved.
That contradicts statements made by Brown who has said his plan would include measures to restore the delta, the confluence of the two rivers and the San Francisco Bay, which serves as the primary source of drinking water for most of the state's residents.
Brown administration officials were not immediately available for comment.
The region is at the heart of a controversial $23-billion plan by Brown to build two massive new tunnels that would divert water around the delta to Southern California. Democrats and Republicans around the delta have criticized Brown's proposal, saying it would jeopardize the future of central California's water in order to benefit residents in the southern half of the state.
Democratic members of Congress from Central California issued joint statement blasted Meral's alleged comments and demanded his political hide.
"Director Meral's comments suggest the Brown administration has violated the public trust," said Rep. George Miller (D-Martinez). "The administration needs to be forthcoming as to whether they intend to honor their stated goal to restore the region's already struggling habitat or whether this is simply a water grab which will drive the Bay-Delta to ruin."
Other Democrats who signed the statement include Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-Palo Alto), Doris Matsui (D-Sacramento), Jerry McNerney (D-Pleasanton) and Mike Thompson (D-St. Helena).

There is a difference between cockiness and confidence, and Albion College sophomore Paul Lewis manages to express his athletic prowess and unique talents without doing so in an arrogant manner.
The three-sport athlete finished 21st overall and earned All-Region honors at the 2010 NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional cross country meet with a time of 25:35.9 in his first year at the collegiate level.
Lewis, who was a three-time Jackson Citizen Patriot Dream Team runner and a member of back-to-back state championship track teams at Albion High School, also finds time to be a track standout, a varsity diver, a bass trombone player in the jazz ensemble, and a double major in physics and music.
"Physics classes are hands down the hardest I've taken in my whole life," Lewis said, "but they are also the most interesting classes I've ever taken.
"Originally I was going to major in engineering and do the three-two program [at the University of Michigan], but cross country came in and we are building this amazing team. So I switched my major to physics because I didn't want to leave."
Despite a numerous amount of activities to choose from, Lewis loves cross country running the most.
"Definitely cross country," Lewis said with a wide smile on his face. "As a long distance runner in track you just run in a circle a lot, but cross country offers a whole bunch of variety and it's cool to be able to go and run on different venues."
Before Lewis realized his elite-level skills as a long distance runner he had his heart set on being a sprinter in his early childhood.
"I thought I was fast and I thought I was a sprinter. So, I tried summer track and got my butt kicked a lot," Lewis said. "I didn't want to do it anymore, so my dad made me try long distance."
At first, Paul resisted the idea of his father, Willie Lewis, one of Albion College's cross country coaches, but eventually he began to enjoy distance running and gives his dad all the credit.
"I don't knock [my dad] for it because he made me great and I love him for it," Lewis said. "I guess there was a balance between pushing me into what he knew I would be good at and still making me love it, because I think if he would have pushed me too hard I would have hated running."
Paul's athleticism is validated further by the success he has earned in the pool. Lewis swam during his sophomore year of high school and decided to be a diver the following year.
The lone year of diving experience was enough for Albion College swimming and diving head coach Keith Havens to offer him a spot on the team.
"I did it in high school just because I didn't want to do indoor track," Lewis said.
A Full Slate
There's indoor track, and then there's the school band: to Lewis, it seemed like the worst idea at the time. But he can't get enough of it now and plays bass trombone in Albion College's jazz ensemble.
"My parents made me go into band and I did not want to go into band," Lewis said. "I can't knock them, though, because they pushed me into what I love to do now."
As if all of this could not keep him busy enough, Lewis also decided to play a part in one of the College's stage productions last spring.
Being able to participate in three varsity sports as well as other extracurricular activities is a key factor in why Lewis chose to attend Albion.
"I was almost dead set on going to Michigan State and when I told them all of the things I wanted to do on top of running—like diving, swimming, acting, traveling abroad—the coaches basically told me I would have to redshirt and take a year off," Lewis said.
"Then I presented [head coach] Hayden Smith with the same scenario and he said it was fine."
When Lewis does have some downtime, he can be found playing Nintendo 64 or watching The Cosby Show on Netflix. But in truth, running is what gives Lewis his real break from his responsibilities.
"You don't have to think about anything, or worry about anything," he said, perking up a bit. "You are just out there."
The Bigger Picture
Lewis hopes to study abroad in South Africa during the spring semester of his junior year and continue to build off of what he has already accomplished in such a short period of time.
His sophomore cross country is already off to a strong start. He finished fourth among all runners in the Vanderbilt Invitational championship, an event that Albion also won as a team.
Looking further ahead, after Albion, Lewis hopes to follow in the footsteps of one of his idols, actor and rapper Will Smith, and utilize a music degree to produce and write scores for some of his raps.
"If I could find a studio booth I would be in it right now," Lewis said in a convincing tone.
Paul Lewis is a busy man, reaching goals and chasing down new ones. Just try to catch him.

I'm a mom. I'm not a mom that wears mom jeans. Or do I? They're kind of the next new thing and I like that.
I have two kids, two dogs, a husband, and a house in the burbs in midwest US of A.
My favorite TV shows are Project Runway, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, and everything on Bravo (guilty!!!). As for music, Bjork is my gal.
I knit and take photos and dabble in a few (thousand) other hobbies.
I consider myself a city slicker, but eventually I'd like to live on a farm, making my own wool and growing my own food. I doubt it'd ever happen though, so that's my plan for my next life.
I used to be new to the world of blogs, but not anymore. I thoroughly enjoy reading random thoughts by random peeps.
Leave a comment and I'll stop by your blog, too.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Your one stop shop for everything you need to know about obesity. Discover the health risks of obesity, how it can be caused by genetic factors, and put common obesity myths to rest, once and for all.
Obesity: Carrying excess weight can really affect our health and diminish our quality of life.
Obesity and excess weight in adulthood are associated with large decreases in life expectancy and increases in early mortality. Because of the increasing prevalence of obesity, more efficient prevention and treatment should become high priorities in public health. But what "prevention and treatment" means depends on who you talk to, and it's becoming an increasingly controversial issue, with some saying that excess weight is an individual problem caused by individual actions, and therefore one that should be dealt with by the people who are personally affected.
But others say that's a gross oversimplification. Increasingly, public health official and other researchers assert that this is a social problem that deserves all the attention it can get,
While people certainly must take responsibility for their own eating practices, and families must be responsible for the dietary habits of their children, there's more to it than that.
In our society, we are faced with what some experts refer to as our "toxic environment," and they're not talking about chemical waste; they're talking about the ubiquity of burgers, about soda machines in schools, about giant-sized snacks devoid of nutritional value.
They're concerned about millions spent promoting essentially worthless foods, while education and promotion of good nutritional options languishes in unfunded media obscurity.
We face tremendous pressure to eat often and eat poorly, and there are consequences to that, for everyone, even those who are not personally overweight. American's weight-related health expenses now exceed $130 billion per year, and that gets spread across everyone's health costs.
And that says nothing of the incalculable economic cost to businesses and communities in lost human time and potential.
And it says nothing of the immeasurable loss to families and individuals, of those moments on birthdays and holidays, of those stories and photographs that end up missing someone, lost early to a preventable weight problem.
Obese American males lose and average of six years of life expectancy to their excess weight. Six birthdays, six family Christmases, six Super Bowl Sundays. Thinking about the consequences of obesity in such personal and specific terms, can really drive home the cost of those extra calories.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

I was so sadden today when I heard the news that Bryant is being treated for lung cancer. When I started doing segments at the Today Show Bryant was the co-host. While he had a reputation for being tough, Bryant was nothing but warm and encouraging. I often did segments with him about children's books–and he was always so amazingly well-prepared. If I dropped a message point that I had put in the notes for the segment, Bryant was always there to provide it. I remember one of the first segments I did included an Eyewitness book about the history of Greece. The lay out of the book was like a newspaper–he said something about "at least they had newspapers–I suppose there's no videotape"…he was teasing me…but I was so nervous, I didn't get it until I was onto the next book.
He is such a wonderful interviewer–he knows how to allow his guests to share their information without taking over. Our segments felt like conversations. I know it sounds silly, but after a segment when Bryant would say "nice job Steph" — it made my day! I wish him well as he goes through his treatments.

Melanie Authier's paintings bring together visual contradictions into one imaginary space. By drawing upon the histories of abstraction and the strategies of representation, she presents improbable environments. A sense of disorientation comes about through the way in which colour, texture, line and shape compete for room within the canvas. Each work presents a brimming jostle of oppositions that the viewer is invited to bring into a certain order.
Melanie it's a great painter and you can visit below some of her abstract paintings.
