The Student
For Christ
FFrreeeeddoomm Not Compulsion
The thing which most colleges have in common is that they claim
to be unique. But, although we are not creating an original idea, we
feel it is worth mentioning that Bethel stands upon a principle which
ranks it different from—and above—most other "Christian" colleges.
This principle is simply that Christians cannot mature under a
spirit of compulsion, under rules that make their moral and spiritual
decisions for them. Of course this is a matter of degree. Bethel does
have rules. If you steal the pop cooler from Edgren Residence, Mr.
Peterson will undoubtedly track you down. If you live at Bodien Resi-dence
and come in after hours you will be penalized.
But, just as our government tries not to restrict its citizens un-fairly,
so Bethel refrains from suppressing student activity.
Bethel encourages its students to attend chapel but does not re-quire
it. No "pledges" of conformity to social mores are asked; and
although everyone is expected to attend church, no one enforces a rule
about it since there is none.
It may be argued that students take advantage of this freedom
from restriction, and without a doubt, some do. But if the student
really wants to run wild, rules will probably not prevent him. And
even if they do, he is not thereby made a better man for "as a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he."
What Bethel aims at is the developing of Christian men and wo-men
who are Christian to the core, who want to be Godly — and Bethel
wants to help produce people who will do their own choosing and will
choose for God.
We laud this uniqueness.
Risk Of A Small College
These are the times that test the willpower of the "joiner."
And, whether one is a joiner or not, no frosh or upperclassman
can very well avoid the question, "What shall I belong to this year ?"
Although every activity may not represent a possible choice—as
between football and B. W. A.—many activities have been presented
during the last week—on interest forms, bulletin boards, and on these
pages. And that won't be the end of it. Some twenty campus organiza-tions
vie for student membership.
On a university campus it would be somewhat different. And this
difference shows up the risk in choosing a small campus like Bethel!
At the big school, one often needs an invitation, a well-known name,
money, or high school experience before he can join. Small colleges
are proud that they can treat every student as an individual and pro-vide
opportunities for far more, percentake-wise, to grow through
the co-curriculum.
In fact, Bethel aims at graduating every one of its students as a
The hazard of having nearly unlimited opportunity to join is ob-vious.
Except for being limited to one major office, any one may
dabble in as much as he wants and, if he can work it right, may be
able to keep his grades up too.
However, Mary Smith, who plans on being prompt to every choir
rehearsal, meeting every CLARION deadline, being vice-president of
her class, and walking away with the trophy for the annual ping-pong
tournament besides trying her hand at debate, can't expect to get
the rewards of real scholarship. There just aren't that many hours
in the day. She may defeat her purpose of becoming a leader too be-cause,
in getting a surfacy education, she will miss factors essential
to leadership.
Because Bethel is a small college, this year you may often have
to choose between thorough preparation on your lessons and participa-tion
in some vital co-curricular job. The way you choose will reflect
the distance you have progressed toward the goal of the mature per-son—
and leader.

"Man the lifeboats — the freshmen are coming!"
This terrible cry heralds the end of another fine summer, and
the beginning of yet another freshman invasion of Bethel. No longer
will the hollowed halls breathe with the quint, pious, reverent whisper
of intelligent upperclassmen and partially indoctrinated freshmen.
No longer will common sense and justice reign. No longer will one
be able to think. And worst of all, no longer will one be able to play
There will be freshmen everywhere — millions of them. Crawling,
jumping, creeping, slithering, galloping over every inch of the premises,
they will leave no gravestone unturned, no temper unriled, no head
unached. They will tackle the ping-pong tables with practiced vicious-ness,
every one of them. No matter how clumsy, each one will patiently
wait in line to flail wildly at a bit of celluloid but dimly seen, and
long will be remembered the wreckage thereof.
The chow line will be a jungle of horn-rim glasses, and myriads
of name cards pointing out that Joe Whothefrightisky is proudly from
Spot-in-the-mud, Siberia. There will be what must be more than two
feet per, and the number of malignantly blank countenances will be
astounding. This collection will extend all over the women's dorm,
making it impossible for civilized people to eat. And even worse, when
one wishes to join friends at the head of the line, there will be diverse
exquisitely sharp elbows with freshmen on the other end to discourage
Furthermore, when one is in a hurry to get to a class he is already
late for, there will be dozens of freshmen standing by, with faces even
blanker than normal, to inquire at length where such and such a class
is to be found, and why it isn't in a more sensible place. When this
has all been patiently rehashed many times, said freshmen will want
to know, a.) what time it is (back home on the farm we went by the
sun) b.) when do we eat (I'm hongry) and c.) why the skrut are you
standing here blocking the aisles. And all the while they're implying
that somehow you're enormously at fault everywhere.
Even worse it the little fellow with the "please, sir, where is my
mother" expression on his sad, small face, and equipped with a built-in
twitch. This one will pull nervously at your sleeve, and with a far-away,
shy, squeeky falsetto inquire as to the whereabouts of the lava-tory.
He will wear incredibly thick glasses which are practically opaque
and which he will be continually cleaning. He will submit to every
sophomore instigated indignity with nary a bleat, and he'll trudge
about the campus like a fellow carrying his household furniture on his
back. He looks to be about twelve.
Dorm life will be a small taste of fire and brimstone. An incredi-ble
racket will roll like waves about the halls, and in Edgren, Mr.
Walfred Peterson will be seen tearing out his already shortened hair
in huge bundles. At 11 p.m. the noise will increase a few thou-sand
decibels and the following will be seen to occur in this order:
1. Upperclassmen, looking wild-eyed, will streak to their rooms and
begin soundproofing operations. 2. Any upperclassman sufficiently bless-ed
to be rooming with a freshman will commit suicide. 3. Mr. Peterson
will move his family to distant quarters with hitherto unimagined
velocity. There will be exceedingly much weeping and gnashing of
This may seem to be a bleak and dismal picture that's been painted
above. In fact, it may seem downright unliveable. (It is.) Well, I don't

And a certain man asked the
teacher, "Sir, who is a Christian

him saying, "There are many
students, but the Christian one

believes that being a student is
what God wants for him at this
time and in this place, he senses
that he is responsible not primar-ily
to his teachers, but to God.

to learn from his own campus life;
he cultivates new friends, new

at times, realize that he must

go with a gospel team. He strives
to follow the command of the
Great Teacher, "You, therefore,
must be perfect, as your heavenly

Talent Night
The Freshman talent night,
while admittedly only a strictly
amateur hour type of program,
often presents some good music.
This year, however, most of the
program was mediocre. Although
some of the sacred classics were
sung, most of the numbers were
the same old gospel songs per-formed
in a adequate "ladies-aid"
style with little musicionship.
By far the most enjoyable music
of the evening was a cornet solo
by Gene Thompson. Mr. Thompson
has a beautiful tone and smooth
style. He used excellent taste in
his playing of "Great Is Thy
Faithfulness", giving that hymn
the rich interpretation it deserves
and not using it as a show-piece

Royals Opener
Against Hibbing
Led by co-captains Paul Berg
and Dave Seaquist, Bethel's foot-ball
team plays Hibbing JC at
Hibbing this Saturday.
Coach Lundin appears well sat-isfied
with his club which would
indicate that it may be the best
he has had in the last few years.
The depth is certainly greater.
Whereas Brunzell has been our
only quarterback, we now have
another in Bruce Erickson. Most
positions are at least two deep.
Although he probably wasn't ser-ious,
Lundin mentioned the possi-bility
of a "cut", something un-heard
of until now.
The team will use the split T
formation, with some Winged T,
and a spread formation.
Probable starting lineup for
Saturday's game will be Bob Rey-nolds
and Jack McNaughton ends,
Wayne Carlson and Stu Luckman
tackles, Res Warden and Paul
Berg guards, John Berg center,
Bruce Erickson quarterback, Ed
Brunzell and Bob Bass halfbacks,
and Dave Seaquist fullback.
Dave's Strands
Coach Lundin has much more squad depth than last year, when at
times there were hardly eleven able-bodied players. About thirty play-ers
have reported, headed by Co-Captains Paul Berg and Dave Seaquist.
Homecoming for 1956 has been slated for October 20. Northland
of Ashland, Wisconsin, will be the opposition. The first game for 1956
is on September 15 at Hibbing, Minnesota, while the initial home
stand for the Royals will be against General Beadle on September 22.

Mr. Johnson Returns
After Year's Painting
Now on display in the student
center lounge and coffee shop are
paintings by Eugene Johnson, as-sistant
professor of art, who is
back at his teaching post this fall
after a year's sabbatical leave.
These paintings represent a year
spent by Mr. Johnson in concen-tration
on his own work. With the
exception of one-month's work at
the Coronado School of Fine Arts
in San Diego, he spent nearly the
entire year in different parts of
Mr. Johnson and his family lived
two months at Mazatlan on the
Pacific coast where he did water
colors predominately. The rest of
the time they lived at Guadalajara
where he shared a studio with a
sculptor. Here he worked mostly
with oils but did some sculpting.
During the year he made one
showing of his painting at Gall-eria
del Artes at Ajijie.
While in Mexico the Johnsons
also did some traveling, which in-cluded,
visits to the Conference
missionaries in Oaxaca and Tare-jaro.
Mr. Johnson has been a member
of the Bethel faculty for eight
years. He began teaching art when
the first courses in that area were
offered five years ago. Miss Dor-othy
Johnson, visiting instructor in
art, filled Mr. Johnson's position
during his leave of absence.

Christian students from many parts of the world have come to
Bethel this year; most have come through the influence of Baptist
leaders and missionaries.
Anders Nishel enters the Seminary with advanced experience gain-ed
from Bethel Seminary in Stockholm, Sweden. Erik Rudin, general
secretary of the Baptist Union of
Sweden, is directly responsible for
Anders' coming here. Originally
Anders and his wife planned to
come to America aboard the Stock-holm,
but the recent accident
changed their minds and they will
arrive by plane on September 11.
Gay Feiler, who was born in
Australia, comes to Bethel as a
college freshman because mission-aries
told her about leading Christ-ian
colleges and included Bethel.
Gay, the daughter of an American
Naval officer is well-traveled. She
has lived in Australia, England,
America, Guam, and Japan. When
asked where she's most like to live,
she replied, "I don't want to stay
anywhere; I like to move."
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Hornsby
hail from Stanmore, Middles, Eng-land.
Sheila and Raymond, who
have been married about seven
weeks, both plan to enter the col-lege
as special students with ad-vanced
credit from English schools.
Influential in their coming to
Bethel were Rev. Maurice Raiv-landson
of England, Mr. and Mrs.
Sandberg from Minneapolis, and
Rev. Maurice Lawson, pastor of
the Olivet Baptist Church and
teacher at Bethel.
A mouthful of name has Maria
Lai Hoo Ching, who comes to the
college from Hong Kong, China.
She has taken some work at the
Blue Mountain Bible College, Blue
Mountain, Mississippi. Maria loves
children and plans to enter educa-tion
or social work. "I think the
American people are very lucky,"
she says, "they have not had war
and they can work and study with-out
worrying about war."

text: 8 Game-Changers to Drive Your Business Plan March 6, 2013 10:00 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Boyce Thompson AgWeb Email The big-picture issues have the ability to throw a major wrench in your five-year planning. Here's what to know. How do you put together a credible five-year business plan given the monumental changes — record droughts, sky-high land values and huge export growth — of the last two years? Terry Barr, senior director of industry research at CoBank, provided some guidance at the USDA's Agricultural Outlook Conference in Arlington, Va., last month. The problem with any projection, as Barr pointed out, is separating short-term variations from long-term trends to produce a "new normal." Here are 8 key drivers that Barr thinks should drive a 5-year plan. 1. Assume declining federal ag support The USDA's projection for 2013 net farm income, for instance, assumes current agricultural subsidies will continue. But the likelihood, based on last year's House and Senate farm bills is that the federal safety net will switch from direct subsidies to insurance. And, that won't be the only change over the next five years. "Sequestration is only the first step in what's likely to be a series of budget cuts," said Barr, noting that Congress will likely need to reduce revenue each year. "We may replace direct subsidies with insurance in the farm bill this year. But the next time around they will look to cut insurance payments." 2. Demand from ethanol producers may fall U.S. energy policy currently favors the production of ethanol from corn as a hedge against foreign oil imports. But as the U.S. produces more oil and natural gas, energy prices are likely to fall. The International Energy Agency recently predicted that the U.S. will overtake Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's top oil producer by 2017. That will reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil and presumably its need to conserve. "We may have declining energy prices in the future. We need to re-examine energy policy; there could be massive structural change. Biofuels and renewables may not grow as fast as they have been growing. What are the implications for fertilizer companies? No one knows." 3. Global demand will shift Developed countries, of course, aren't the driving force behind U.S. ag export growth anymore. Farmers have benefited in recent years from export growth fueled by an emerging middle class in developing countries. But the key driver for agriculture will be how many people escape poverty, not the size of the middle class cohort. "That's when people change their diets," said Barr, adding that once people achieve a middle-class wage, they may spend more on transportation. Also, as many developing countries continue to grow, they tend to replace meat imports with domestically produced meat. China and India, Barr noted, will account for 70% of the increase in the middle class from 2000 to 2030. Another big wild car in any forecast is what China will do, given the huge impact that country has on the corn and soybean markets. What if China, instead of buying massive grain quantities, suddenly decided to ramp up its production of corn and soybeans? Barr was asked. He doesn't think it will happen. "They are committed to a value-added strategy for cotton and soybeans. They can bring them in and add value for Pacific Rim economies. But if China believes they have adequate stock levels, then they may buy for current consumption, and that would be bad news for cotton and soybeans." 4. Planted corn acres may still increase Barr is also skeptical that farmers will plant fewer corn acres this year, as the USDA recently predicted. USDA economists think that farmers will switch to more stable soybean crops after last year's drought, which took a bigger toll on corn. High corn prices remain a tempting target. Also, a large South American soybean crop this year may do damage to price expectations before spring planting in this country, Barr said. And there may be more corn planted in the Southeast to "take advantage of early harvest in a market with short supply," Barr said. Stocks of many grains may be low now, but Barr expects a sharp recovery that could put downward pressure on prices. "We have the ability to rebuild inventory quickly, especially if we get a record South American harvest, followed by a normal U.S. harvest," he said. 5. Land values may well tumble Barr is one of the few ag economists who will say publically that he expects farmland values to fall in the near future. The recent run-up in land values, he said, was driven by higher-than-normal commodity prices combined with unique factors – zero interest rates and rapid expansion of natural gas exploration. This has led to vastly different patterns of land value changes across the U.S. Even so, Barr doesn't think we'll see a big decline, like we did in the 70s. "But if you look at pricing for corn and soybeans, you'd think you'd have to get a minimum 25% to 30% decrease if combined with rising interest rates…. If grain prices decrease, land prices will follow. We'd need continued crop production concerns and continued low interest rates to sustain current land values." Speaking of interest rates, Barr said that the Federal Reserve will not be able to hold interest rates near zero indefinitely. He expects a "rapid run-up in rates," likely in 2014, to realign them with a recovering economy and declining unemployment. 6. Rising meat exports create risk and uncertainty Barr isn't predicting much of an increase in meat production over the next five years. Most of it will be concentrated in pork and poultry. The cattle industry, which reports the lowest inventory since 1952, need to rebuild its inventory. "This will take a year to a year and a half," he said. Growing meat exports expose the sector to a wider spectrum of risks and uncertainty. The pork industry, which now exports 23% of its production, is a case in point. Japan is the pork industry's No.1 export market, and the value of the yen has dropped 18% in recent months. That's going to make export sales to Japan an uphill battle. 7. Dairy has tough financial row to hoe Meanwhile, last year's run up in feed prices has made the entire dairy industry financially vulnerable. Barr said that dairy balance sheets, particularly in the West, aren't strong enough to take the current imbalance between feed and dairy prices. Dairy farms are dipping into their balance sheets. "But they won't be able to do that for more than another year," he said. 8. It will be tough to sustain current net farm incomes Barr's bottom line for the next five years? Ag will remain a strong sector of the economy, though "we probably can't hold $125 billion in net income" projected by the USDA for 2013. View Barr's presentation.

U.S. Cattle Herd Continues to Contract Record-high feed prices will stick around most of this year, which will continue to put the squeeze on an already suffering livestock industry. Low Prices Hit Farm Belt: Growers Get More Crop, Less Cash Prices for corn and soybeans will fall this year on record production, easing food inflation while providing less cash for growers recovering from drought.

US Relinquishing What Tiny Control It Had Of The Internet... If UN Isn't Allowed To Take Over
from the not-that-big-a-deal dept
The big fear over the past few years was that certain foreign interests -- lead by authoritarian regimes in China and Russia (with long track records of censoring the internet and stifling dissent) -- would take control of the internet away from ICANN via the ITU, an organization that's a part of the UN. That was extremely problematic on a number of levels, given in part that the ITU process is entirely controlled by country governments without input from other stakeholders, such as technologists. ICANN is far from perfect (very, very, very, very, very far from perfect), but the ITU would be significantly worse.
However, from what's being said, it appears that the Commerce Department's plan is conditional on the UN/ITU not getting control, and for internet governance to remain a multi-stakeholder process, rather than one solely controlled by governments.
U.S. officials set strict conditions and an indeterminate timeline for the transition from federal government authority, saying that a new oversight body must be created and win the trust of crucial stakeholders around the world, said Lawrence Strickling, a top Commerce Department official. The announcement essentially ruled out the possibility that the United Nations would take over the U.S. role, something many nations have advocated and U.S. officials have long opposed.That's a good thing. From what's being said, it sounds like the Commerce Department would like ICANN to continue more or less the way it has been running, just without the official claim to being overseen by the Commerce Department. Could that lead to troubles down the road? Sure. But, frankly, the US more or less forced itself into this position with its idiotic decision to let the NSA spy on everything. Before that, plenty of other countries were happy with de facto US "control" over the internet. But once it became clear just how deep the NSA's claws were within the internet, even former allies began to demand changes.
While the ICANN model can be improved upon (greatly), it can also be much, much worse. So where this goes will need to be watched closely. But, on a first pass, simply taking the Commerce Department's name off of things should have little direct impact for the time being. And, of course, it's worth remembering, that before ICANN, the internet was more or less governed (benevolently) by this guy.

TRIPLETT, N.C. — The way Conway sees it, there's the natural world, as exemplified by his Turtle Island Preserve in the Blue Ridge Mountains. And then there's the "plastic, imitation" one that most other humans inhabit.
But the border between the two has always been a porous one.
When he bought his first 107 acres in 1987, Conway's vision for Turtle Island was as "a tiny bowl in the earth, intact and natural, surrounded by pavement and highways." People peering inside from nearby ridges would see "a pristine and green example of what the whole world once looked like."
Since leaving his parents' suburban home at 17 and moving into the woods, Conway has been preaching the gospel of sustainable, "primitive" living. But over the past three decades, those notions have clearly evolved.
Conway has traded his trademark buckskins for jeans and T-shirts. Visitors to Turtle Island are as likely to hear the buzz of a chain saw as the call of an eagle, and interns learn that "Dumpster diving" is as important a skill as hunting or fishing.
And then there are the television cameras.
For the past two seasons, Conway has brought his message of simpler living to the History Channel reality show, "Mountain Men" — a role he concedes is inherently oxymoronic.
"I think television's terrible," the 52-year-old woodsman says with a chuckle that shakes his long, iron-grey beard. "So it's definitely a paradox."
But it's all part of a complex dance. For Conway and Turtle Island, sustainability has come to depend on interns and apprentices, and on tax-exempt status from a regulatory system this self-styled "true old-time mountain man" openly despises.
It also depends, increasingly, on a steady stream of paying campers. And that is where Conway's peaceful coexistence with the "modern world" broke down.
Acting on a complaint about alleged illegal building, officials from the Watauga County Planning and Inspection Department raided Turtle Island last fall and found dozens of structures for which no permits were ever pulled. Citing numerous health and safety code violations, the county attorney gave Conway three options: Bring the buildings up to minimum state standards, have an expert certify that they already met code and obtain proper permits, or tear them down.
What ensued was more than just a battle of government versus the individual. It was also very much about the lines between what is real and what is "reality."
Reality versus TV
County Planning Director Joe Furman says the conflict started in late spring of 2012 with an anonymous phone call, followed about a week later by an unmarked envelope containing a crudely drawn but highly detailed, color-coded map. It showed buildings, road grading and wiring — all allegedly done without proper permitting, engineering or inspections.
Unlike some of his fellow TV "Mountain Men," who toil high in the Rockies or far out in the Alaskan wilderness, Conway is hardly cut off from civilization.
Turtle Island lies near the Tennessee border, just a few miles east of Boone — a county seat of 17,000 residents whose population doubles when Appalachian State University, Conway's alma mater, is in session. Just beyond the gravel road that leads into the 1,000-acre preserve, spacious, modern homes nestle on wooded lots within sight of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Once through the gates, everything changes.
After crossing a dancing stream, the road opens onto a meadow ringed by a blacksmith shop, open-air kitchen and dining room, a corn crib and assorted other outbuildings. Dominating the scene is a massive cantilevered barn, constructed of dovetailed logs and roofed with 5,000 hand-hewn, moss-covered shingles.
The name comes from an American Indian creation myth about a great turtle that saved the world's creatures from a cataclysmic flood by supporting them on its shell. "In the figurative sense," Conway's website explains, "we are an island of wilderness in a sea of development and destruction."
Not exactly, say local officials.
After a cursory inspection, Furman says talks between his office and Conway broke down. So on Sept. 19, Furman came back with a warrant and sheriff's deputies.
Beginning with Conway's own home, inspectors found the building lacked the minimum water and sewer connections. All of the buildings were constructed of wood milled on site, not the marked, graded lumber required in the building codes.
Solar panels run the equipment in Conway's little office, and a micro-hydroelectric plant installed by students from ASU's Appropriate Technology Program powers a small workshop. Inspectors say they found wiring and junction boxes that were not up to code.
The team noted a wood stove whose chimney was vented beneath a building's metal roof, not through it, and unpermitted outhouses intended for public use. Several buildings were not connected to the stacked-stone foundations supporting them.
In his 78-page report, consultant W.O. Whaley concluded that many of the buildings were "not structurally sound."
"The property in its present state presents a hazard to the safety of anyone near any of the structures," he wrote. "I would suggest obtaining a court order to vacate the property to protect the lives of the public and the interns."
Conway and his supporters argued that Furman's office was missing the point. How, he asked, can he teach primitive living in modern, cookie-cutter structures?
"Human beings have built their own houses for thousands and thousands, and actually millions of years," Conway says. "And now we can't even build our own house with our own material that grows on our own land? That's not some regulation that's just a county problem. That's a human rights issue."
To counter Whaley's report, Conway posted a series of interviews with certified building inspector Drew Kelly on YouTube. Kelly said most of the buildings were constructed "at bare minimum, above what they're wanting regular houses to be built at."
"Do they fit modern-day building codes?" Kelly said. "No. Because they're not modern-day structures."
Conway doubts there ever was a complaint. He believes it's no coincidence that his trouble with the planning department began during the first season of "Mountain Men."
But as the show illustrates, there can be a fine line between perception and reality.
Struggle against government
"What do I do for a living?" Conway says in the premiere episode. "I live for a living."
The show is mostly about man's struggle against nature. But in Conway's story line, a frequent adversary is "the government."
In season one's second episode, titled "Mayhem," Conway opens his mailbox to find an official-looking letter inside. He slits it open with his pocketknife.
"Motion to claim exempt property?" he reads from the court document in his hand. "This is crazy. Damn attorney is paying the sheriff to serve me. Going to take all my land? .. Basically, I just got a letter saying, 'Your life is over.'"
In setting up scene, the sandpaper-voiced announcer gives the distinct impression that it's the government that is coming after Turtle Island.
"Eustace has always been able to survive living off his land," the man growls ominously. "But he always struggles to pay the tax man."
For the remainder of the season, Conway and his interns split firewood and fence rails to raise the cash needed to lift the lien from his "sacred" mountain. In the climactic final episode, titled "This is the End," Conway and a friend make a dramatic ride on horseback into Boone — rather than taking one of the many vehicles that dot the property.
He arrives at the courthouse just in time "to make his final stand."
But Conway's true nemesis is not "the courts" or some heartless "tax man." It's a 28-year-old woman who was injured during a visit to Turtle Island.
In August 2005, Kimberly Baker of Wilmington came to the preserve on a retreat as part of the North Carolina Teaching Fellows program. She and the others were taking part in an orientation at Turtle Island's entrance when one of Conway's staffers pulled out a sling and began demonstrating how to hurl stones.
A rock flew backward, blinding Baker's right eye. She sued.
Baker settled with two of Conway's staff for a combined $400,000. In September 2009, Conway entered into a mediated settlement agreement to pay Baker $75,000, and to mortgage some of his land within a year to cover the amount.
When the deadline passed without payment, Baker filed a lawsuit for breach of contract. Finally, in April 2012 — around the time those episodes were filmed — Conway paid up.
Conway says his contract with the History Channel prevents him from commenting "about the correctness of that" depiction of events. But he avers that reality shows are about building suspense and drama, "And a lot of the life out here is not as dramatic as they want it or need it to be."
He expressed much the same sentiment when he spoke with writer Elizabeth Gilbert for her 2002 Conway biography, "The Last American Man."
"When I go out in public, I deliberately try to present myself as this wild guy who just came down off the mountain, and I'm aware that it's largely an act," the "Eat, Pray, Love" author quoted him as saying. "I know I'm a showman. I know I present people with an image of how I wish I were living. But what else can I do? I have to put on that act for the benefit of the people."
Holding Court
As word of Conway's bureaucratic problems spread, a flood of hate mail inundated Furman's office. In a petition posted on www.northcarolinanaconservative.net, author Vicky Kaseorg made allusions to Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia.
"Are government officials upset that someone can survive without them?" she asked.
As the state officials worked to resolve the issues with Turtle Island, the Republican-dominated legislature introduced a bill to exempting "primitive" camps and farms — including "sheds, barns, outhouses, doghouses" and other structures — from the building codes. GOP Gov. Pat McCrory signed the bill into law on June 12.
By month's end, Conway was back in business.
On a recent sultry day, a dozen or so campers and interns listened intently as Conway held court in the breezeway of the main horse barn. The smell of woodsmoke, stewing cabbage, manure and sweat mingle in the steamy air as speckled chickens scratch for food in the dirt around the teacher's feet.
Conway points to the rounded rafter just above their heads, explaining how this "puncheon" construction — common during the 17th and 18th centuries — allows the flat surface of a split log to act as the floor above. The barn is one of the buildings singled out as potentially unsafe, and Conway can't resist a jab.
"My problem with the government is they see that I'm teaching people about simple, natural living, and that doesn't jive with their corporate sponsors, you know?" Conway says. "So it's real important to realize that the model is something that we need to keep alive. And what I want you guys to do is go out and teach the rest of the world how to do it. Because it's our birthright as a human being."
If Conway was a folk hero before, this incident has only increased his stock. Nick Rosen, who runs the site www.off-grid.net and included a chapter about Conway in a book about the movement, says what happened at Turtle Island "is part of a national trend to create obstacles in the way of people wanting to carve out their own freedom."
But while many feel the government went too far, some think Conway is trying to have it both ways.
Boone contractor Douglas McGuire grew up in these hills. Standing beside a stone fireplace in the modern log home that serves as his office, he says he understands the traditions of rugged independence and mistrust of government interference.
But McGuire says this was a question of public safety, not private property rights.
"What he is doing, 50 years ago, was a way of life," he says. "And people need to be taught to fend for themselves — to raise their gardens, to raise their crops. But I don't know that going back in time to accomplish that is the answer."
Former Turtle Island apprentice Christian Kaltreider can see both sides.
Now an engineer specializing in energy efficiency and renewables, Kaltreider is dismayed — if not exactly mystified — by Conway's decision to take part in a reality show. "I think it's ego and a drive to teach the world," the Asheville man says.
Conway once told Kaltreider that his dream was that he touched would go home and create "hundreds of little Turtle Islands everywhere." Most have fallen far short of Conway's goals, Kaltreider says.
But, he adds, "We're still trying to save the world."

Opinion: Rep. Danny Davis should resign over his echoing of anti-Semitic language
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - Why is it okay for Democrats to praise a notorious anti-Semite? I spoke to you a few weeks ago about the founder of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan. He is the person who called Adolf Hitler "a very great man."
Just a week or so ago, Farrakhan was at it again. At a speech in Chicago, he spouted hate against Jewish people, gay people and white people, among others.
You would think that it would be standard practice for our elected officials to denounce Farrakhan, just like it is, correctly, to denounce white supremacists like David Duke.
Unfortunately, that is not the case. According to The Daily Caller, 21 members of the Congressional Black Caucus, all Democrats, were asked about their reported ties to Farrakhan. Not one of them condemned him.
One member of the CBC, Congressman Danny Davis of Illinois went further. He called Louis Farrakhan an "outstanding human being."
To top it all off Congressman Davis said that, "the world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question."
"The Jewish question?"
That is exactly the language used by Adolf Hitler. He and the Nazis had a final solution to "the Jewish question." That solution was to exterminate Jews in the Holocaust. Members of my family died in the horrors of the Holocaust.
Here is the bottom line: shame on you, Congressman Davis. You should apologize and resign immediately. The other politicians with ties to Farrakhan have to come to their senses and condemn this hate monger. If not, I don't see how they can continue to hold elected office.

To: Students, Faculty and Staff of the Colby College Community
From: Ray Phillips, Dir. of IT Services
RE: New RIAA action against individuals illegally sharing music files
The College prohibits illegal activity, including copyright infringement, and has repeatedly issued warnings that the use of peer-to-peer file-sharing applications puts individuals at considerable risk of being the target of civil and even criminal action in federal court.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has recently announced aggressive new action against individuals involved in illegal file-sharing on college and university campuses. Several years ago the RIAA shifted from only issuing complaints under the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998 to also bringing suit in federal court against individuals. Thousands of college students have been sued (but none yet at Colby) and the penalties, even when settled out of court, have been many thousands of dollars.
The RIAA has recently announced that its member companies will begin issuing pre-litigation "letters of settlement" to individuals observed to be illegally sending or receiving music files for which they own the copyrights. These letters will give the individual the opportunity to contact the copyright owner's representative through a web page and initiate settlement. Recipients of this letter will find this to be an expensive process but probably less than settling or defending a lawsuit.
Anyone on the Colby College campus using any file-sharing application, including Kazaa, eDonkey, BitTorrent, Ares, Gnutella, Morpheus, etc., to send or receive files in violation of copyright can be observed doing so by the copyright owners' agents. Colby's administration is not monitoring anyone's activities on the network, but if you use any of these applications, the sending or receiving of music and other files may be observed by investigators on the Internet. At Colby we do not block file-sharing through the Internet connection because using these applications is legal where copyright is not being infringed. However, the bandwidth made available for this traffic is severely limited.
Anyone using any file-sharing application is likely to be observable from outside the campus network. This is how the applications function and this is how users of these applications are being identified by the copyright owners. Music and video file-sharing by individuals at Colby might be observed from anywhere in the world.
If the College receives notification that copyright infringement has been observed and a pre-litigation letter of settlement is being offered to the person responsible for the computer at a given network address, that individual will be informed by my office and given the documents from the copyright owner. The Colby person's identity will not be provided by the College to the copyright owner unless a subpoena for that information has been issued. If you receive one of these letters of settlement, you may choose to follow the instructions or ignore it and wait for filing of a lawsuit. Upon receiving a letter of settlement offer, it would probably be wise to consult with an attorney.
There is another critically important difference between standard copyright violation complaints under the DMCA and pre-litigation letter of settlement notifications. In the case of standard DMCA complaints, of which the College has received many over the years, removal of all copyright infringing files from the computer (often accompanied by removal of the file-sharing application) and a promise not to violate copyright in the future is all that is required. By contrast, the RIAA warns that, in the case of receipt of a letter of settlement, no relevant content may be removed from the computer; it must be available for the discovery phase of possible litigation. To remove any files may constitute obstruction of justice by destroying evidence and carry significant criminal penalties. Continuing to use the computer on the network in such a situation may create significant risk of additional action by other copyright owners if there is more than one file involved. This may render the computer unusable, at least on the campus network, until after settlement. Consulting an attorney would be highly advisable. Remember that destroying evidence in a copyright infringement case may be far more serious than the original copyright crime.
The actions announced by the RIAA are an attempt to reduce rampant copyright infringement taking place on the Internet using file-sharing applications. It is not directed at legal file downloads from services such as Apple Computer's iTunes, permitted distribution of software through licensing such as our Microsoft Campus Agreement or to restrict "fair use" of copyrighted resources in an academic setting.

Catenins belong to a class of intracellular linking agents that serve to bind the highly conserved cytoplasmic tail domain of several cadherin transmembrane adhesion proteins to the actin cytoskeleton. There are three distinct peripheral cytoplasmic catenin proteins, termed alpha-, beta-, and gamma-catenin, which may be involved in mediating transduction of intercellular contact positional signals to the cell interior. Beta-catenin binds directly to the cytoplasmic tail of E-cadherin, as well as to the N-terminal region of alpha-catenin in a complex that includes a tumor suppressor gene product, known as adenomatous polyposis coli (APC). The intracellular levels of beta-catenin appear to be controlled, at least in part, by the suppressor protein.
The single log phase Swiss mouse embryo cell presented above was resident in a culture that was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-beta-catenin rabbit monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies conjugated to Rhodamine Red. In addition, nuclear histone proteins were targeted with anti-histone (pan) monoclonal antibodies, which were imaged with goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) conjugated to Marina Blue (labeling the nucleus). The specimen was subsequently counterstained for the cytoskeletal filamentous actin network with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

DUBLIN, Ohio, 19 September 2013—OCLC has established a partnership with Plum Analytics, an altmetrics organization that develops analytical tools for scholars and researchers, to leverage WorldCat data to help researchers better analyze and measure the impact of their work.
Plum Analytics provides a set of tools and services that capture, aggregate and synthesize the big data created from resources, including journal articles, books, videos, presentations and datasets, to characterize how research is used and referenced in various communities.
Plum Analytics has integrated the WorldCat Search API into its PlumX analytics dashboard to retrieve aggregate library holdings information from the WorldCat database, the largest collection of bibliographic data in the world. Access to this data is enabled by OCLC WorldShare applications, which expose Web services and data for use and reuse by third party partners. Scholars will now be able to see how well their published works are included in the collections of libraries globally to help measure the impact of their research.
This partnership demonstrates OCLC's commitment to provide broad access to WorldCat data for a wide range of creative uses. OCLC supplies analytics organizations with WorldCat data to help define how collections are being used and to provide researchers and libraries with an extended range of applications that take advantage of the same core data.
Bibliographic information in WorldCat is continuously updated by thousands of OCLC member libraries worldwide. WorldCat represents over 300 million different items and over 2 billion holdings in libraries from more than 170 countries.
"A critical role for academic research librarians is to help research faculty understand and be able to measure the impact of their works," said Plum Analytics co-founder Mike Buschman. "Giving access to library holdings data for this purpose will expand the universe of that measurement, especially in disciplines where books and book chapters represent a significant proportion of research output."
"OCLC is committed to releasing the value of WorldCat into innovative applications like Plum Analytics," said Chip Nilges, OCLC Vice President, Business Development. "Partnerships like these serve the needs of OCLC libraries and their patrons, which is an important component of participation in our cooperative."

Dom Elliot - Business, General Business Projects in China
I spent six weeks as an intern in a PR company called Sunnybund in Shanghai. I had a really wicked time. My office was full of friendly staff, most of whom could speak good English. My supervisor spoke English very well. even correcting some of my proofreading once! I had plenty of time to get to know my colleagues and even learn some Chinese while also getting some interesting projects to run. Probably the most rewarding of these was raising awareness for a fund-raising project for Shanghai's largest temple, the Jing'an Temple. I was given a free rein in this and had to take the initiative. I spent time out of the office rushing around to embassies and other places trying to get support and arranging a few meetings. I was also lucky enough to be able to go to the temple, meet the Temple Master and be treated to a delicious vegetarian Chinese lunch.
My (mostly journalism placement) friends and I were often offered chances to go to events and launches, which our companies were involved in. Amongst others, between us, we were invited to an exhibition and book launch, a fashion show, an awards ceremony, a free meal at a restaurant launch and (my favourite) the launch of the Porsche Boxster! All of these were really fun and gave us a chance to experience the modern and buzzing side of Shanghai.
One of the best things about Shanghai is the nightlife. The weeklies let us know of special nights and local events and we tried out loads of different clubs.
We found plenty of western clubs - cheese, hip hop, drum & bass, and an awesome Chinese house club (Rojam! Go there - get up on the stage!), a punk concert and an open-air folk festival, where we managed to wrangle our way back stage as "journalists"! I found the key to really enjoying my time was to be up for anything. Oh and a quick Shanghai urban myth - you DON'T get a free breakfast if you stay at Mint until 7! When we couldn't be bothered to go out we had DVD and Reeb (cheap Chinese beer - genius name!) nights and flat parties which was all good.
We spent all our free time exploring the streets of Shanghai. There are many interesting traditional Chinese experiences to be had, from the Temples to the teahouses to the huge variety of cuisine: Chicken feet? Anyone? How about jellyfish?! There are also lots of tourist attractions to keep you occupied in the first couple of weeks from the Shanghai museum (supposedly the best museum in China but I got a bit bored!) to the fourth tallest building in the world, the Jinmao Tower, to the huge, cheap and fun markets. And you can always go off on excursions on the weekend to local towns or even the safari park!
I really enjoyed my time in Shanghai; I even spent a couple weeks extra, after I finished my placement, before I went off around China! I'm already thinking I'd like to go back in the future. It wouldn't have been possible without Projects Abroad and their cool staff who we went out with some nights. They made settling in really painless but also stood back so you could really be independent while you're there.

There are blogs, books and even phone apps dedicated to this very topic. Hidden Mickeys are everywhere from the Disney Resorts, Theme Parks and even Downtown Disney. You never know where the next one will appear and you'll have fun (and possibly become obsessed) on this quest for hidden treasure.
10. Disney Off the Beaten Path: DiveQuest
Under the Sea
Certified divers can slip into dive gear for an unforgettable encounter with creatures of the deep. Imagine browsing a salt-water world of coral teeming with marine life without ever entering the sea! Walt Disney World guests can do just that at The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion at Epcot.
