Kraig Klaudt, of KABY,
Bethel's radio station, and
his three directors resigned
last week. They said they
were protesting the $1500
stipend they were to split
between them for running
the station.
Klaudt expected to put
in about 30 hours per week
at KABY. "DJ growth and
quality programming was
my goal," said Klaudt.
Programming, for live cov-erage
of all Royal football
and basketball games,
nightly news and third
class radio licensing for
all disc jockeys was pro-jected
this fall.
The communications
board is presently looking
for a general manager,
whose first job will be to
replace equipment dam-aged
by a small blow-out
on the control hoard.
Klaudt estimated the cost
at $500-2000.
All KABY monies come
under the jurisdiction 'of
the student senate, which
must convene before the
station can be fixed.
In the meantime, the
speech-communication de-partment
is trying to gain
control of the station's fi-nances,
because some class-es
use the station.
But Philip Rohler, 'last
year's faculty advisor, said-that
he was not sure they
had enough money to add
KABY to their budget.

For the first time since
1976, Bethel will see the
resurrection of the year-book.
Yet it cannot be
called merely a yearbook.
This year Passages, the
literary arts magazine, will
be expanded into an an-nual
publication that
will also serve as a year-book.
Passages replaced the
previous yearbook, The
Spire, in 1977. The assimi-lation
of Passages into a
larger annual will increase
not only the size but also
the versatility of the entire
After consulting various
publishers, adminstrators
and students last spring,
student body President
Dave Lucas reported his
findings on the yearbook
at the student senate meet-ing
May 13.
After receiving positive
feedback from the com-munications
hoard, the
senate decided by major-ity
vote to publish the
budget proposal.
KABY must go through
about six people and/or
committees before reach-ing
the Board of Regents,
the final authority. To go
through this process in
time, Brushaber should
have the budget proposal
One key factor in the
decision was the compar-ative
costs versus net re-sults
for each publication.
Passages, a 48-page pub-lication,
was estimated to
cost $12,000 to produce
this year.
The individuality of the
publication, requiring a
specialized printing pro-cess
coupled with commit-ment
to high quality, ac-counts
for its relatively
high cost.
The proposed 288-page
annual, including a section
for Passages, will cost less
than twice that $12,000
figure. Publishers who
specialize in yearbook-style
formats standardize their
publications. This cannot
be done with a publication
such as Passages.
Caryl Brown, student
body vice-president, said
the additional funds neces-sary
for the new publica-tion
will be provided
through advertising sales.

On July 12, following
numerous obstacles, four
men reached their goal and
achieved a two-year
dream; they stepped onto
the Summit Plateau of
20,320-foot Mt. McKinley.
Their ascent, undertak-en
as a personal challenge
as well as a project to raise
money for S.E. Asian refu-gees,
almost failed when
they stopped to rescue two
other climbers. Paul Dvir-nak,

the team's leader,
22-year-old Steve Friddle.;

down a glacier.
"We were camped at
10,700 feet when we looked
to the East and saw two
guys skiing on these ice
cliffs," Dvirnak said in a
Greeley, Colorado news-paper
interview. "The two
guys were roped together
and one guy fell and his
leg postholed into the ice.
The guy roped to him free-fell
for 120 feet over the
cliff. He should have been
dead. He only ended up
with a broken wrist and
bad lacerations."
Bob Kavacau, an Amer-ican,
had found Simon
McCartney, a Briton, at
the 19,600-foot level,
where he had been with-out

Simon was starving; he

Bus schedule change
prompts gratitude
Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter
with much gratitude. Be-thel's
bus coordinator,
Mark Tanquist, has just
shown me how a complex
bureaucratic and techno-logical
system, such as the
bus scheduling, need not
turn into a tightly cement-ed
institution that refuses
to expand when human
needs arise.
The change in the time
for the Rosedale bus from
2 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. has
allowed me to arrive at my
class at Macalester on
time rather than 20 min-utes
late, which I would
have been had there been
no change.
I am grateful not only
for being able to attend the
class on time, but also for
being shown that individ-uals
can still be valued
more than pre-arranged
Lois Malcolm
P.S. I want to make it
clear, however, that I do
not want to set a prece-dent
for just any whim.
Schedules are schedules,
and I concede that, to a
certain degree, for efficien-cy's
sake, we humans do
have to conform. (But, of
course, there can be ex-ceptions!)
Enthusiastic intentions can survive as year progresses
The early 1970s brought a song into popularity with
words that began like this:
We've only just begun, to live.
White lace and promises,
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
....And yet we've just begun.
Our first full week of classes has passed into history.
Enthusiasm is still in full swing. We don't require much
prompting to study. Chapel attendance is a vital part of
each day. Relationships are the least of our worries. But
we've only just begun.
It is easy to talk about our intentions—they are usu-ally
good. We don't ponder the possibility of becoming a
bit lazy. Forgetfulness is at the back of our minds.
Spirituality is something we need not think of, now—it
is part of our living. The lace of our lives is as white as
ever and our promises are sincerely kept. We don't need
a kiss of fortune to send us on our way. We can handle
things easily enough. But we've only just begun.
Chapel has been packed to overflowing daily since
school began, a sign of adherence to the Bethel lifestyle
and Christian commitment. We are still taking time out
of each day to sit back and rethink our relationship with
the Lord, with our friends, with new roommates and
new professors. People are important to us now. We
recognize their intrinsic value. The question is, are we
living in some kind of Bethel-inspired utopia that will
only last a few more weeks?
We have made such a good start. Are we being ideal-istic
to think that it can last throughout the semester,
and maybe even through the schoolyeqr? History says
yes. Traditionally, class attendance dwindles as the
semester rolls on. Chapel becomes an occasional part of
each week, each month, as fewer chairs are set up, the
speaker's stand is moved forward, and fewer bleachers
are filled. The library's purpose is often forsaken for
midday naps. Roommates go unseen for two, three days
in a row. Superficial "how are yous" pass between
friends, but nothing more. Depth in relationships fades
into shallowness.
But we aren't asking too much. Realistically, we have
the potential to make our endings as full and complete
as our beginnings. There is no law that rules our lives,
dictating a slow deterioration of the ideals and inten-tions
of each new semester. This is not to say that it is a
simple matter. Indeed, it requires a desire to want our
initial efforts to equal our final pull.
There is no magical formula. We wouldn't be using
our God-given minds very wisely if we expected a
legacy of similar behavior patterns to disappear. On the
other hand, we have God-given minds that can be used
wisely, if we but put our wills into it.
The same song that echoes "we've only just begun"
continues with lines like this:
Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over, just the two of us,
Working together day to day...
The songwriter puts it in plain and simple terms. We
do start out sharing the horizons of a new schoolyear,
but as we move along we forget to watch the signs that
warn us of our direction. We leave behind sharing,
talking, caring times and don't remember worship and
work together. We make the struggle much more diffi-cult
by allowing ourselves to get wrapped up in our-selves
rather than each other.
We would send out a great message from Bethel if we
kept our horizons in perspective and remembered that

The Clarion believes a special note of appreciation is
in order to the physical plant department for the
implementation of several new parking/car registration
rules. We feel that some of the changes may have come

our sincerest wish that such changes are a sign of con-tinued
efforts to make this campus an even more in-viting
place to study and reside.

Woods issues fewer tickets;
parking situation improves
by Mari Broman
The "clear-cut" parking
and traffic limitations for
this year should present
no problem to students,
faculty and staff, accord-ing
to Jim Woods, director
of physical plant.
"I've studied this very
carefully," said Woods. He
conceded that in the past
people had received tick-ets
for only minor viola-tions.
This summer he
"boiled down" the list of
infractions to "six bona
fide violations," found in
the student information
A ticket for each of
these, or any combination,
costs $5 if paid within a
week. If not, the fine dou-bles.
After a discussion with
student affairs Woods de-cided
that ticket appeals
would no longer be neces-sary,
because of the straight-forwardness
of the regu-lations.
Woods also stressed the
importance of car registra-tion.
Registration is free
and "to the students' ad-vantage."
He cited such
events as lights left on,
keys forgotten in the car
and parking lot accidents
as instances when a regis-tration
sticker enables

A rent increase of $25
for new campus housing
made front-page news 12
years ago in the Clarion.
Old campus rental rates
remained at $137.50, un-changed
from the previous
year, while rates for the
present Nelson residence
were raised to $162.50,
and $200 per semester for
the suites on the first floor
of the dorm.
Nelson residence was
still under construction,
but the building was pro-jected
to be ready for occu-pany
October 1 for the
women's section, while the
men's side would be ready
October 15. Students as-signed
to live in the new
dorm were living in tern-porary
housing at the time.

said that the prim-ary

rent assessment was the

students assigned to the
new dormitory requested
housing on or near the

to live in their second

"Second, a considerable

climbing that mountain.
"Our prayer changed

The Rev. Maurice Law-son
became Bethel's first
full-time pastor, after hav-ing

years. Prior to his appoint-ment

to keep going. "The real
power of prayer is in the

When the rescue opera-tion
delayed a scheduled
call from her husband,
Rosalie Dvirnak began to
worry for the first time.
"I'm convinced that they
were kept safe because so
many people were pray-ing
for them," she said.
She received word that
they were safe when, from
14,000 feet, the men called

The team finally reached
the mountain's top on the
22nd day of their climb.
They were the first suc-cessful
team to make it up
their route, the "Western
Rib," this year, according
to the National Park Ser-vice.
Eight men have al-ready
died on the moun-tain
this year.
It was the first major
climb for Friddle and Nel-son,
though the four train-ed
and planned together
for two years before the
climb. Dvirnak and Hol-land
have climbed toge-ther
for five years.
So far, their efforts, with
the help of World Vision
International, have helped
raise $41,000 for the refu-gees,
but they hope that
this is only the beginning
of what eventually will be
raised. When they planned
the climb, they hoped to
raise $10 for every foot of
the mountain.
For now these four men
have climbed their goal.
And in reaching it they
saved two lives as well as
raised money to feed many
refugees. "It was worth

Falk to head ISA, commuters
During the Depression years there lived a gentleman in Pittsburg. He was a proud
father of two sons, eighteen and nineteen, who were on the verge of leaving home to
One day the father summoned his boys and said, "Soon you'll be going off to live on
your own. But before you go, I wish to lay forth a special proposal." As the father's
hand slipped into his vest pocket, the eyes of both sons widened.
"What you see in my hand is an old gold watch. My grandfather gave it to me
shortly before he died."
"How old is it, papa?" inquired the younger son.
- "I'm not sure. But at one time this very watch ticked in Abraham Lincoln's pocket.
My grandfather assured me that Lincoln once owned it, yet he never explained how it
was handed down to himself.
"Now then," continued the father, "it is my desire to pass on this watch to one of
you. My conscience, however, prevents me from being partial. Therefore, listen
closely to my proposal: In twelve years time, which ever of you I determine to be the
wisest will become the deserving owner of -the watch."
In two years the elder son settled to be a librarian in downtown Pittsburg. His
brick, ivy-clad library invited all types of readers, yet he spent a minimal time
relating to them. Rather, he buried himself in books. Hours of study quenched his
natural thirst for knowledge, though the watch provided a considerable impetus for
such devotion.
Meanwhile, the younger son pursued his vocationas a bartender. His small but
home-like bar resided in the poor part of the city. Between his menial duties,
conversations across the the elbow-high counter consumed his time. His dealing
with the many hardships he and others encountered gave birth to his learning.
After the war years marched by, the dozen-year period neared its end. On an
appointed date the father invited his sons home for a week.
Following the usual pleasantries, the father announced, "Oh my desk lie some
notebooks. Within the next six days each of you will record your wisdom in writing.
On the seventh day, I will determine the wiser of you two."
The elder brother smiled inwardly; within minutes his pen flowed into action.
Expounding on every subject from anthropology to zoology, he completed notebook
after notebook.
The younger brother, having anticipated a question to answer or problem to solve,
was quite perplexed. But gradually he contented himself by jotting down bits of
advice and little sayings he made up.
Now it happened that during the night of the sixth
day, the father's climaxing suspense gave him no sleep.
To appease his curiosity he secretly gathered all note-books
while his sons slept unaware. To his surprise, he
counted nineteen notebooks from his elder son, whe-reas
the younger son hardly filled half of one notebook.
And so he investigated his puzzling discovery by read-ing
through them.
"It is clear to me that my test of wisdom is quite
inadequate," he half-whispered. "The true test of wis-dom
is not to discern the quantity of wisdom one has,
but rather the quality of fruit one's wisdom bears
After breakfast the father stated, "To determine the
new owner of my watch, I must talk with each of you
alone in my den."
The librarian stepped in first and sat down.
"Well now," started the father. "I'm quite impressed
with your notebooks. Your mind is indeed a great
reservoir of knowledge. But tell me: what is the fruit of
your wisdom?"
"Let me think. Well, I know more than most teachers
in Pennsylvania. The last time I was at the university -"
"Son, I inquire about the benefits of your wisdom."
"I could speak of three published books and my lec-tures,
but surely these notebooks speak well for them-selves.
Do they not?"
"I see," slurred the father. "Send your brother in now."
The bartender entered and reclined comfortably.
"I'm intrigued by your sayings, my son. Can you tell
me the fruit of this wisdom of yours?" "I'm looking forward to

the biggest challenge—to
get commuters to feel a

Falk said. He

Faculty introduced through art New Senate reconvenes
by Leann M. Kicker
An art show prepared
by the Bethel art faculty,
specifically for all Bethel
students, is on display in
the gallery now until Sep-tember
The show is entitled "Fa-culty
to Students" because
the pieces were chosen by
the faculty members to in-troduce
themselves as ar-tists
to the students. Pro-fessor
in art Eugene L.
Johnson said, "The artists
chose pieces they felt the
students could understand
or identify with. The show
was put together with the
students in mind."
When asked the signifi-cance
of this focus John-son
explained, "...if the
show had been for a dif-ferent
audience probably
very different pieces would
have been chosen."
The department also
hopes that the show can
be a valuable teaching and
learning experience.
Each of the artists has
written a short introduc-tory
piece that briefly ex-plains
their art forms.
These are displayed as
posters near the individu-al's
work to help viewers
understand the pieces and
the artists.
Participating artists are

will take place next
Wednesday and Thursday,
Sept. 24 and 25. Students
interested in running for
office should visit the sen-ate
office (LR 114), pick up
an application and return
it to the office by 5:00 p.m.
Tuesday, Sept. 23. Voting
will take place by the stu-dent
activity center from
10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The constitution allows
for the election of four sen-ators-
at-large (from any
class), three senior sena-tors,
and one transfer stu-dent
senator. Upperclass-man
senators were elected
last spring.
Students who are nei-ther
a freshman nor an
incoming transfer student
can still become a senator-at-
large through a special
election. Candidates may
pick up an application and
return it to the senate of-fice
by 5 p.m. Sept. 23.
They will be interviewed
and appear before the sen-ate
Tuesday, Sept. 30, for
their decision.
Other areas for involve-ment
include serving on
either the special projects
committee, the two senate
internal committees on
which non-senators may
serve. Nine student-facul-ty
committees review and
formulate policies for dif-ferent
facets of the school.
These committees give
equal voting power to each
member and are good op-portunities
for involve-ment.
Those interested in
serving on any of these
committees should stop by
the senate office this week.
The student senate and
the executive board form
the student association,
which is the voice of stu-dents
at Bethel. This body
is responsible for making
the concerns of students
known to the appropriate
sectors of the campus,
overseeing all Bethel me-dia
and campus coordina-tors,
and appropriating
various funds to organiza-tions
and special events.
Each senator also serves
on one of three internal
committees. The public ac-tion
committee serves out-side
the bounds of Bethel's
campus. The special pro-jects

State raises minimum grant Moonlighting coach
anticipates season
A record number of more
than 36,000 Minnesota stu-dents
have received noti-ces
of state scholarship
and grant awards to help
them pay the costs of at-tending
post-seconary edu-cation
institutions this fall.
Awards notices totalling
$27,248,340 have been
mailed to 36,822 students
who will attend one of
more than 160 eligible
Minnesota public and pri-vate
colleges and vocation-al
schools. The average
award is $740.
An additional 5,000 stu-dents
will qualify for
awards by the start of the
fall term, raising total
awards notices to more
than 41,000 for 1980-81,
according to Coordinating
Board staff estimates. The
additional award notices
were mailed last summer.
Approximately 25 per-cent
of Minnesota's full-time
student population
this fall will be assisted
by state scholarships and

this year's increase in
the number and size of
awards to a 16 percent
rise in the number of appli-cations
and program
changes made by the Min-nesota
Legislature and the
HECB. The changes have
been designed to respond
to inflation and its effects
on Minnesota families.
The award notices made
in late June were based on
58,000 applications. The
number of applications is
projected to reach a record
66,000 compared to 56,000
last year.
Some of the new appli-cants
are juniors or seniors
who were not eligible to
apply before. First-time ap-plications
are being accept-ed
for those students as a
result of action by the 1979
Legislature lo expand ac-cess
to the program for all
students regardless of their
class status.
The 1979 Legislature, re-sponding
to inflationary
pressures on the cost of
education, expanded the
maximum award from
$1,000 to $1,250 effective
this school year.
Awards range from $100
to $1,250 but cannot ex-ceed
half of a student's
financial need. Grant
awards are based solely
on financial need. Scholar-ship
awards are based on
both academic achieve-ments
in high school and
financial need.
Last March the Board
revised the need formula
for the program, making it
possible for 5,000 appli-cants
who would not have
qualified before to receive
awards this year.
Sixty-three percent of
the students who applied
and demonstrated need ac-cording
to national stand-ards

Craig Dahl, the new
hockey coach and assis-tant
football coach for the
Royals, wants to continue
building on the "solid foun-dation"
left by former
coach Dave Harris.
Coach Dahl, a rookie to
college hockey coaching,
is originally from Albert
Lea, where he was an all-conference
hockey player
and an all-state quarter-back
in high school. Later,
while attending Pacific
Lutheran University as a
physical education major,
he continued playing hoc-key.

He also coached football
and hockey for two years
in Winona, Minnesota.
Dahl is eager to begin
the season. "We recruited
hard this winter and
brought sixteen newcom-ers
to the program. Eight
players are on the all-con-ference
level," said Dahl.
Coach Dahl realizes that
Bethel has a young hockey
program and wants to con-tinue
building it into a
program to be proud of —
both from the record stand-point
and the personal ex-perience
of the team mem-ber.
Aside from coaching,
Dahl teaches golf, canoe-ing
and fencing at Bethel
and will finish his mas-ter's
program in physical
education next summer.
When asked for his reac-tion
to Bethel, Coach Dahl
answered, "I would like to
stay here as long as the
Lord lets me. Both the stu-dents
and the administra-tion
are great, but it really
has not sunk into me yet
that these people have
such strong faith. Bethel is
a real Christian commun-ity."

Late in the first quarter
Bethel's offense began to

accurate passing of quar-terback
Jim Anderstrom
and the strong running of
halfback Tim Schwalm
brought Bethel within
striking distance. Two
third-down completions,
to Schwalm that covered
14 yards, and another to
Ken Cooper for 13 yards,
kept the Bethel drive alive.
But immediately after
the teams switched goals
for the second quarter, a
pass intended for Cooper
was picked off by a Ham-line
defender, cutting off
Bethel's only serious scor-ing
threat of the day.

"The play didn't take any-one
by surprise," accord-ing
to assistant Coach
Craig Dahl. "We just made
a mental mistake and miss-ed
the coverage."
He also said that the
team really came together
and played well. "We had
a really good week in prac-tice
and it carried through
to the game. We weren't
keying on Walker; the
players just did their as-signments
well, and we
were able to stop him."
The offensive unit seems
to be starting out the year
rather slowly, but accord-ing
to Dahl that is to be
expected. "You've got to
remember that this is a
totally new system to all
the players. It is a high-pressure
offense, thus in-creasing
the chance of
turnovers. Like any new
system, it takes time to
adjust. Once everyone gets
used to it, the mistakes
will drop off."
The Royals travel to St.
Peter to take on Gustavus
Adolphus this Saturday,
then return home the fol-lowing

encounter with highly-ranked

We all know the 2001 rules are better. I play them, and I've printed them out and put them in a binder. I mean, the 2001 rules have seperate stats for leik every weapon! How could you resist that? And look at all the complicatedness. Nice. I also scribble in my binder a bunch with new weapon stats for other weapons.
But what do you guys think? Are the dummed-down 2005 rules better for YOU?

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) has Recovered from Extinction in the UK to Several Hundred Breeding Pairs, Mainly in Scotland but also in Wales and England
This large fish-eating raptor dives dramatically into water to catch its prey.
The osprey has a slim body and long narrow angled wings. It is dark above and pale below on the body and wing coverts. The head is white with a broad dark stripe through the eye to the nape.
Length: 55-58cm; wingspan: 145-170cm
Status in UK
148 pairs, increasing; AMBER listed; summer visitor, arriving in late March/April from wintering grounds on the West African coast
Population Trends
Ospreys became extinct as a breeding species in Scotland in 1916, having disappeared from England in the 1840s. A pair first nested in Scotland again in 1954. After much publicity and careful protection of nest sites, the species gradually spread, mainly in the Highlands, reaching 100 pairs by the mid-1990s.
Since they became established north of the border, ospreys had regularly visited Rutland Water in the Midlands on passage. In 1996 a translocation project began with young Scottish birds being released there. These birds returned to the reservoir for a number of years and finally bred successfully in 2001. In the same year a pair naturally colonised the Lake District and bred by Bassenthwaite Lake. In 2004 the first pair reared young in Wales; the male had been released at Rutland and the female came from Scotland.
Birds can be viewed in a number of places in Scotland as well as in the Lakes and at Rutland Water.
Habitat and Distribution
Ospreys favour well wooded country with lakes, rivers or near the coast with a plentiful supply of fish.
They are found in the eastern Highlands, the Grampians and Perthshire and the Southern Uplands in Scotland; in the Lake District and Rutland in England.
Ospreys build a large stick nest in the crown of a tree, often refurbishing an old nest. They will also use artificial platforms. The Hawk and Owl Trust has installed one at Pensthorpe, near Fakenham, North Norfolk but it has yet to be used.
Fish are taken in clear, calm water diving from the air. Long talons with spikes on the underside of their toes help them grasp fish. Species caught are dependent on availability; in Scotland they mainly take brown or rainbow trout inland and flounders on the coast.

Nancy Helmig worked at Boulder's Crest View Elementary for three years teaching third-grade math and science under a limited-term contract, completing 120 hours of district training in math and inviting math specialists into her classroom to make sure she was teaching at the highest level.
She said her students showed "tremendous" growth in math, and she planned to apply for the position again.
But her own score on Boulder Valley's new teacher candidate screening tool, the Gallup TeacherInsight survey, apparently wasn't high enough to earn her an interview. She complained about the tool at a recent Boulder Valley school board meeting — and was joined by several parents who had children in her class, other concerned parents and other candidates who lost out on a job interview.
"My ability to display success has been outweighed by a test that measures the possible success of an applicant," she said.
After receiving complaints and researching the tool, some school board members also are questioning if it's right for Boulder Valley, including whether it's a valid predictor of teacher quality.
"I don't want to be using an unfair tool," said school board member Tom Miers.
Superintendent Bruce Messinger responded by asking the board to give the district time to evaluate how well the screening tool is working in Boulder Valley.
Starting in the spring, every Boulder Valley candidate was required to take the Gallup survey — a timed, online test designed to predict which candidates will be the most effective teachers based on attitudes and beliefs.
A similar test is used to screen principal applicants and support position applicants.
Messinger said adding the Gallup survey was one of several changes the district made to its hiring process in the spring. With sometimes hundreds of applicants for an elementary teaching position, he said, principals were often overwhelmed — in some cases only looking at candidates whose last names started with the first few letters of the alphabet.
In the spring and summer, Boulder Valley received 4,500 teacher applicants.
Messinger said he also wanted a less subjective system that would help the district move the best candidates forward.
"We're trying to get away from who we know without considering the broader candidate pool," he said.
Boulder Valley's application process was changed to make it completely electronic, and human resources now handles this initial review. Before, human resources wasn't involved until the end, giving final approval to a principal's pick.
Human resources now reviews applications to make sure candidates qualified and then narrows the pool to those whose qualifications best match the job. Next, human resources forwards those with the best Insight scores, usually about a dozen applicants, to school principals. The principal then picks about six applicants to interview.
Principals can request a specific candidate if someone they wanted to interview doesn't make it into the final list. They also can ask for additional candidates if those in the first batch don't measure up.
Messinger said initial feedback from principals is that they're choosing from a "richer diversity" of candidates, including more candidates with less teaching experience.
Many of the complaints about the Insight tool have come from teachers hired to fill temporary positions who are now required to take the test — and in some cases are told that, based on their score, they wouldn't be considered for a permanent position.
Messinger said the district decided to use the test for teachers hired to fill temporary jobs because those hired mid-year for a temporary job may not be the best candidates available, given that the applicant pool is much smaller.
Existing teachers in regular positions who are transferring to another school aren't required to take the test. But all new candidates are, including those who want to substitute teach.
Denise Della Rocco said at a recent school board meeting that she left her classroom teaching job after having a baby. She earned her master's degree in literacy and volunteered for the last three years at a Boulder school. Now that her youngest is in kindergarten, she decided to try substitute teaching and was granted a substitute license from the state. But her Insight score wasn't high enough.
"It's kind of painful to accept that you've held a classroom, but you're not worthy," she said.
The 30-minute test, created in 2002, has generated controversy in other areas, where similar questions have been raised about its validity. School districts in Colorado that use it include Greeley and Denver Public Schools. The Boulder Valley Education Association hasn't taken a position on the test.
The district is spending about $98,000 this year for Gallup's services. Along with providing the screening tests, the company provides an annual analysis of the results, including a comparison to national results and information on diversity and teacher qualifications. The test results are sent directly to the school district and not shared with the applicants or the school principals.
Applicants can retake the test once a year.
Much of the research on the effectiveness of the test in identifying the best teachers comes from Gallup.
The test, according to Gallup, measures teacher candidates' drive to succeed and push themselves and their students, their ability to create strong relationships with students and parents, and their competence in classroom structure and planning. Gallup does not release the actual questions, citing proprietary information.
Messinger acknowledged that there aren't solid independent studies on the test's reliability. But, he said, the test proved an effective tool in previous districts where he worked and promised Boulder Valley will evaluate it by reviewing data on the quality of teachers hired. The district also plans to survey principals to get their feedback on this latest round of hiring.
"Over time, we have to answer the question: Is it predictive to us?," Messinger said.

When Gossip Becomes Slander/Libel
Gossip: a person who habitually reveals personal or sensational facts about others
Legal Definition of Slander: A type of defamation. Slander is an untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because slander is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. If the statement is made via broadcast media -- for example, over the radio or on TV -- it is considered libel, rather than slander, because the statement has the potential to reach a very wide audience.
Definition of Libel: An untruthful statement about a person, published in writing or through broadcast media, that injures the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because libel is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. Libel is a form of defamation, as is slander (an untruthful statement that is spoken, but not published in writing or broadcast through the media).
It seems I have become a topic of conversation at the local California Association of Midwives' meetings.
Two months in a row, a piece I wrote – and pulled – has been discussed. (Although now I am really tempted to put it back up!) The latest meeting's public minutes had this statement. I didn't edit it; this is how it was written.
Barbara's blog….neg piece about LM's …a physician is now using her statements in their state to ban LM's in his state..navelgazingmidwife..
Now, the blog piece I wrote was seen as negative by some, but not by all Licensed Midwives. Sure, plenty commented their anger or frustration that I wrote that I felt LMs needed more education, but for goodness' sake, it is my OPINION. And I am allowed my opinion.
One person who commented to the PULLED piece said a legislator had mentioned my blog during discussions of something or other, but, first of all, there is NO proof of that at all and second of all, my words did not help to "ban LM's in his state" (whoever "he" is).
I am LIVID that a group of LMs, CPMs, students and supporters have gathered together TWICE discussing my piece (once again, a PULLED and then revised piece) and are putting out, in email and words, the implication that I am single-handedly destroying licensed midwifery.
Have they ever invited me to come speak about what I wrote? No.
And people wonder why I have issues with professionalism in Licensed and Certified Professional Midwifery; see Example A above.
Because it is apparent that my local community is reading my blog, I hereby demand that the California Association of Midwives and the local licensed midwives that have begun and perpetuated this libel cease and desist or I will bring charges against the lot of you.
And I have PROOF of who started this slander in a vile (and amusing) email by a local Licensed Midwife. She even said she was going to spread the word about my "true self."
Any emails or comments will be used in court. Keep your thoughts to yourselves, oh, local women who are yacking about me.

Connecting with your Crystal
Welcome your new crystal into your home by setting aside a little one on one time for just the two of you! Sit with your crystal and feel its energy opening and connecting with your heart center. Find a special place to keep your crystal where you will see it often and be able to connect with it. Working with Crystals for Crystal Healing is a fun, easy way to elevate your personal energy and deepen your connection with Mother Earth. Each Crystal is unique and offers its own special gifts. See our Crystal Definitions page for more info on specific crystal types.
How to Activate your Crystal
Crystals love to work with a purpose! In general, they are already "Turned On" and busy doing their own thing: Elevating Energies and pumping out Good Vibes! This is their natural state. We can tap into these elevated energies and combine forces by working with our crystals to expand and elevate our own energies and to connect with our highest self. This is done through activation and will set a field of expanded energies that will help us in our daily lives as we practice and deepen this connection with our crystalline friends.
To begin an activation, clear your mind and sit quietly with your crystal. Connect with your heart center and through your heart center connect with the crystal you are holding. This crystal is sharing its love and light with you, as you share your love and light with your crystal.
Think of activation as the growing and expansion of energy layers. The first activation establishes a connection between the crystal and the user, creating the first layer. These layers continue to grow, for both ourselves and the crystal, as we continue to connect. This energy field becomes more stable over time as we continue to connect and reconnect.
Cleansing your Crystal
Stones of all kinds are energetically alive. Crystals and Gemstones carry their own vibrations and can be influenced by subtle energies and/or thoughts and actions taking place around them. Crystals also have the ability to be cleansed of influences that have touched them before or after they have come to you. When gemstones are energetically cleansed they are cleared of all energies other than their own, and until they are used again in ritual or meditation, they will generally remain cleared. For some people, it is important to cleanse, wash and purify their gemstones and crystals before using them. For others it is not. This is really a personal preference, one that you may feel into on an individual basis.
Feel into your crystal when you first receive it. How does it feel? Does it feel yummy and scrumptious; is it a pure delight? Then maybe it doesn't need cleared at all. But, if you feel guided to make this new gemstone truly a piece of your own, and perhaps also to have a special bonding session with your new crystalline friend, then cleansing your crystals should be easy and fun. Below are a few ideas for consideration, but you may be inspired by something entirely different! The key is to have an open heart and to connect with your crystals just as you would with any person or spirit guide.
Listed below is one of our favorite methods. For a more exhaustive list of possibilities, see our Crystal Cleansing Guide.
Cleansing your crystals with the method of energy and intention:
Hold your crystal with the intention of Pure Love & Light enfolding it. Feel yourself and your crystal being surrounded within a sphere of very supportive white or golden light energy. (You may also play with different colors, if you enjoy color healing!) Begin to feel Cosmic Love and Source Energy flowing throughout your body and directly into your crystal. Stay within this protective sphere for as long as you feel guided. This is also an excellent way to begin any meditation.

Hope you had a great weekend with all of the dads and granddads in your life! I hope to post a few photos of ours soon.
Crossing my fingers you haven't seen enough of it… but I wanted to revisit a little project that you might have spotted during the nursery reveal – it's easy to miss in the larger room photos but here's a close up.
I've been looking for creative ways to incorporate the remaining fabrics from the initial nursery fabric selection (and here's the line up before we knew whether we were having a boy or girl) from over 4 months ago, and I thought a little set of pennants (or flags) would be a great way to introduce different fun patterns while staying within the room's color palette.
To keep the project short and simple, I turned to my trusty no sew hem tape. One hour later and the pennant strand went from squares of extra fabric to finished!
No Sew Fabric Pennants
Materials: Fabric remnants, no sew hem tape, iron and ironing board, scissors, ribbon the length of your final set of 'flags'
{1.} Cut triangles (two long even sides, one short top) out of fabric, keep in mind the size of each hem and cut your triangles roughly 1/2″ wider on each side.
{2.} Fold each side of the triangle creating a 1/2″ hem, iron to create a crease that stays put. Tempting as it may be, don't skip over this step – it makes adhering the hem tape and creating a clean, straight edge for your pennants 10x easier.
{3.} Use hem tape to line the inside of the two longer portions of the triangle, apply heat of the iron for at least 10 seconds to each side (moving iron back and form slowly over crease) to create a permanent adhesive. The bottom corner of the two longest sides may require a bit of layering of the hems to look even. Leave the top hem open.
{4.} Once each flag or pennant has been ironed and hemmed (on the two longer sides of the triangle), line up pennants along your ribbon to create your pattern layout. Flip over (you may want to mirror your trial run exactly or you may be fine with giving each single pennant a direct face as I did below) and line the ribbon up along the top edge of each pennant.
{5.} Snip extra corner pieces for a clean look.
{6.} With each pennant individually, fold the previously created top crease (step 2) over the ribbon so that the fabric crease now sandwiches the ribbon in place. Add hem tape to each side of ribbon and press with an iron. Repeat for each pennant moving slowly down the ribbon.
{5.} Now that each pennant is secured to the ribbon, flip over and hang!
Really really love how it turned out! It also looks adorable tied to the front of the crib and will make a great addition to a birthday party or other event one day.
Fabric pennants are a really easy way to use up remnants of fabric that you have left over from other projects, and with hem tape it takes just an hour or so to iron together a short little line of adorable flags.
More Project Nursery posts and tutorials over here.
Now really, truly, honestly back to focusing on other rooms in the house :), big sigh of relief for those of you who are done with seeing every angle of this space!

I share my experiences in genealogy education, including taking classes at the National Institute for Genealogical Studies and preparing my BCG portfolio. I also post updates to my personal research and general genealogy news.

Reader Poll - Genealogy Education
1 comment:
The program should have a breadth of topics. It should be a planned program where you first cover the basics then build on those with intermediate subjects then advanced subjects. All the subjects should be written by people experienced in those topics.ReplyDelete
The subjects should have the theory but it is important that each topic gives you the opportunity to apply that theory as the information will make much more sense that way. Ideally there should be opportunities for interactions with the instructor and other students. You can learn so much from the other students who will have different research experiences and life backgrounds.
It would be expected that a program will take a while to complete and this information should be stated upfront as to the commitment required.
A minimum of twelve months and upwards for most full programs.
There should be core subjects and then electives where you can personalise your study to particular topics of interest to you.
All subjects should promote professionalism in the research and recording using genealogical community accepted standards. I think working toward qualification does give extra incentive to most people

(c) Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, Deerfield MA. All rights reserved.
Contact us for information about using this image.
Prior to the invention of the metal canteen, people faced with the problem of carrying water in several ways. Beyond using gourds, which eventually rot, or leather, many applied the techniques learned in coopering, or barrel-making, on a smaller scale. This rather elegantly made wooden canteen used several coopering tricks, including precisely cut pieces of wood. Instead of the usual copper or tin bands, this example uses reed to bind together the pieces of wood. Wooden canteens had to have water in them all the time: not only did it keep the canteen watertight by causing the wood to swell tightly, but it prevented the wood from drying out and warping. The inscription on this canteen claims that it was made from one of the logs used in the stockade around Deerfield, Massachusetts, in 1704, the year of its most famous raid. The canteen was made by Benjamin Munn of Whatley (1704-c1778) and was presented to the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association by his grandson, Dennis Dickinson, in 1878.

And we all know what EVIL spelled backwards is!
Last night, during a Criminal Minds show, a 'satanist' cult leader mentions that the term 'satan' means 'the apposer' in Hebrew, and that 'Satanists' are just aggressive 'Atheists'. I did not hear much rebutal from the other characters.
I think I 'could' be evil, but it just seems distastful and mean. Even connecting a 'sledgehammer', a 'machete' and 'a sack full of kittens', in my mind creates more crappy thoughts that I would rather not conceive of.
I figure that a truely moral person needs to have the means and knowledge to do evil, but never the motivation or planning to carry it out.
Evil. Right here. I just don't focus my evil on folks who cling to childish fantasies about absentee father figures.
"With great power, comes great responsibility". "Great power" in the form on
consciences. Good and evil depends upon our ability to decipher this power.
What is "good" for one can be "evil" for another. There are soo many variables
and influences on this power that no matter what we do "Good and Evil" will
ALWAYS exist and it's part of the beauty of nature and the universe. A mythical
god does not generate/promote "good" nor does Satan/evil god generate/promote "evil". We as
a conscience species, generate/promote "good and evil" in our response to survival on our home called Earth.
I saw a website comment where a guy named Phil Harmon is calling on all Americans to join together in prayer in the first of the year. He feels that God has never provided substantial proof of his existence other than the Bible, which no real God could have ever written unless he was drunk or is an outcast from the order of the Universal Gods. Of course there are also those nebulous and random events that some people claim happen from result of praying. You know this as the prayer answered so perfectly that it must be God. But real proof is always a bit sketchy--sort of like flying saucers, the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, the goat sucker, Santa Clause, Area 51, the Easter Rabbit, the 9/11 conspiracy, Tooth Fairy, pregnant virgins, and honest politicians.
So, I think this is a good idea he has. If all Americans join in prayer on the first of the year asking God to show himself in a manner that could not be denied. Certainly if God is a real god, then 300 million prayers being delivered in earnest by his faithful and non faithful alike would be enough to bring God to make some sort of a showing or he isn't the God we think he is and does not deserve our faith.
I have an idea. I am a disabled person. Pray to make my legs well again. I was damaged by a phony doctor. No license, no training, and the hospital lied to keep from having to pay and to keep their "good" reputation. Even the California medical board and three lawyers cheated me--one telling me that no one would believe me so go ahead and report it.
I am 70 now and have suffered in terrible pain for 25 years. I really deserve to have my legs again, and I would like to have a small income so I can afford to fix my house, get three aching teeth fixed, repair my bathroom and kitchen (Water, toilet, and sink don't work) and get my wife the care she needs. There is no medicare coverage for Borderline Personality Disorder. BPD comes from an abusive childhood and unlike bipolar disorder, which is covered but cannot be cured, borderline is a curable mood disorder. No one will help us and we are using a five gallon bucket for a toilet. Plus we both need glasses and the tires on the car are bald and when they go we can't go to the doctors or shopping. No bus routs within miles, and no one will help. Over 200 letters to the government officials and the best we have received is a request not to continue bothering them because they cannot do anything.
We need help, we are good people, well educated, and this would be a good test of any God.
If every American and every atheist prays to God to fix my legs and they get fixed, then we will know that God was involved because they have been bad for 25 years now. If nothing happens, then the Catholic Church has been duping people to get greedy rich (the wealthiest organization in history) and they need to distribute that money to those who need assistance instead house a phony pope and dress his ass in gold.
If God does not respond, raid that false church, distribute it's billions in an admirable manner and disband religion and bibles. That religion has just separated people and made war seem good. It's high time we found if God was real by a big test.

Little Giants Alone Atop NCACby Howard W. Hewitt • October 25, 2008 Share:
Wabash College (7-0, 5-0) won its second straight North Coast Athletic Conference showdown in as many weeks. The Little Giants forced turnovers and the offense capitalized to hand Wooster (5-2, 3-1) its first conference loss, 45-24.
See photo albums here, here, here, and here. Bachelor photographer Alex Moseman also provided photos for a full album, click here. Saturday was also Family Day with lots of parents, families and friends enjoying a full day of activity. Click here and here for a look at photos.
The Fighting Scots came to Crawfordsville a confident football team with a chance to end the Wabash NCAC win streak. Wabash, now owners of 15 straight league victories, made sure the visitors knew it wasn't going to be easy from the first tick of the clock.
In a tone-setting drive, Wabash drove 62 yards in five plays on the strength of Evan Sobecki's 15 and 16 yard runs. Then following a Matt Hudson carry of 14 yards, Sobecki scampered 17 more for the score, 7-0.
"It felt fantastic," Sobecki said of the opening drive. "It was my first start of the year and I wanted to get it off on the right track. We wanted to score on Wooster at the start. The O-line was awesome. I think the running backs in general, were all running the ball really well."
Sobecki led the the attack with 72 yards but was hit hard in the second quarter limiting his play until the second half. Derrick Yoder stepped up in the second quarter garnering 71 yards and two short touchdown runs. Bobby Kimp added 69 more and a score.
Wabash rushed for 239 yards and five touchdowns. Wide receiver Kody LeMond picked up his 14th TD of the year, but this one was on the ground and came at a key point in the game.
The Scots came in with bagpipes playing hoping to nab the NCAC driver's seat for a playoff spot. The defense had other ideas. Wabash forced four fumbles and recovered two. The defense picked off four passes.
"I think our offense did a great job on the opening series getting the ball down there and punching one in on them," Senior defensive back Chad Peterman said. "I thought that was really good for our momentum. Then our defense came in and got a three and out and I thought that was really great for the start of the game."
But Wooster quickly responded with an Austin Holter to Mike Francescangeli 10-yard score. Wabash got three on a Drew Oehler 42-yard field goal, but the Scots took the lead when Holter ran for 6 yards, 14-10. Yoder then added his two scores to close out the half.
Wooster took the second half kick, scored and pulled within a touchdown at 17-24. After alternating possessions, Wabash went on a 49-yard, 8 play drive with a bit of a surprise ending. Hudson mixed the pass with Brock Graham and Sobecki carrying the ball effectively. But after Sobecki was stopped for no gain on the drive's seventh play at the three-yard line, the offense showed something new.
Hudson faked a handoff to Sobecki into the right side, but LeMond came streaking across the backfield and took the ball around the left end for the score, 31-17.
Kimp added his touchdown early in the fourth quarter, but Wooster wouldn't go away. Zack Gust pulled in a tipped Austin Holter pass for 30 yards, 38-24. The Scots managed to hold Wabash to a three-and-out and were again driving the ball.
But Derrin Slack changed the complexion of the game and sealed the win when he picked off a Holter pass at the 22 and returned it 78 yards to remove any mystery in this one's outcome, 45-24.
Adrian Frederick had two interceptions in the waning moments.
"It's one of those things where we didn't have any (forced turnovers) last week so we really wanted to try to focus on and get the ball back to our offense," Peterman said of the effort.
Peterman also left with lots of respect for the Scot offense which rolled up 420 total yards. "I think they had the best offense we've seen this year. With a quarterback who is able to run that adds a new dimension we hadn't faced all season. They had good receivers and they tried to establish the running game, so they're a pretty good offense."
Holter hit on 21 of 41 passes for two touchdowns but also had four interceptions. He was the team's leading rusher with 73 yards.
The Wabash defense was led by Dan Ryan Wood's nine tackles. Peterman and David Mann added seven tackles apiece. Rich Lehman, Jake Martin and Chris Schweigel each had five stops.
Wabash now controls its own destiny enroute to a possible fourth straight NCAC championship. Last week's win at Wittenberg combined with Saturday's victory over Wooster puts Wabash in control of the conference title chase. The Little Giants host Oberlin Saturday and then travels to Hiram.
"We've had a tough stretch here, probably three of the best teams on our schedule right in a row," Coach Erik Raeburn said. "After a tough emotionally draining, physical win last week on the road, I was really proud of how our guys bounced back. They put that game behind them and had a great week of practice in preparation for a great Wooster team."

Intel Core Logic Integrated Circuit
As embedded microprocessors move into a wider array of consumer electronic devices and industrial production, the need to connect microprocessors, read-only memory (ROM), synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), and peripheral component interface (PCI) buses in an efficient manner created the demand for core logic chips. Intel designed the 21285 core logic device as a single-chip interface between the StrongARM SA-110 microprocessor and the other semiconductor components.
View a second image of the Intel logic chip.
Using the 21285 core logic device, system designers can create a wide array of PCI applications including office automation, interactive workstations, and internet-operating digital media. Optimizing the performance of embedded processors, the core logic chip features a PCI interface, synchronous DRAM interface for high-speed data transfer, and a flash ROM interface for initializing devices. Incorporated also in the Intel 21285 is direct memory access (DMA) interrupt controllers, programmable timers, an intelligent input/output (I/O) message unit, parallel and serial ports, and a PCI bus arbiter. Core logic functions are expanded to supplying four clocks for the SDRAMs and four chip selects. Each chip select can control from 1 megabyte to 64 megabytes of memory using 16-megabyte and 64-megabyte partitions.
Operating at 3.3 volts, the Intel core logic circuit is well suited for portable, battery-powered applications. With a maximum power dissipation of only 2.0 watts, the powerful logic chip does not create demands for bulky heat sinks or cooling fan units. By adding the 21285 to the basic SA-110 microprocessor, suitable applications for the embedded chipset expand to routers, printers, scanners, cellular base stations, local area networks/wireless area networks (LAN/WAN), advanced video game players, and network computers.

Write some Software -- 2
Budget €30-250 EUR
i have buyed the wordpress plugin: Fancy Product Designer. LINK: [url removed, login to view]
I installed the plugin, you can find it on: [url removed, login to view]
What i want is to modify the module like: [url removed, login to view]
The plugin i installed has some features of it, but the following functions are missing:
- letter spacing. If the user adds letter space, this must change on the preview, just like the module on letterblenders, and also it must show on admin when sending the order
- The price must change when changing the font size:
size 1-10: 1 letter = €6,80, 2 letters is 2x €6,80, 3 letters is 3x €6,80 = €20,40
size 11-15: 1 letter = €8,35, 2 letters is 2x €16,70, 3 letters is 3x €6,80 = €25,05
size X .....
size x ....
and 17 other sizes..
and this formula must do the same for 3> letters
- for each letter it must be possible to select another color, and also it must show on admin when sending the order
- It must show the height and width on the preview (see attached file), the first is the width, this must be based on the count of letters: lets say 1 letter= ±12cm, 2 letters= ±22cm, 3 letters =±32cm and go further.. The second is the height of the font size.
This functions i described are from the website of letterblenders i linked above, you can check that page to understand it maybe better.
If you have questions, please ask.
