The drama department promises
to contribute to Homecoming one
of the most ambitious dramatic
productions ever attempted on the
Bethel campus.
Dubbed 'Man '67', the evening is
built around the medieval play
Everyman. Constructed around his
personal philosophy of theatre,
that of total involvement, what is
called in dramatic jargon, total
theatre, the evening pivots on
three main sections.
The first section consists of a
labyrinth designed to show what is
happening to modern man. A ple-thora
of advertisements, sounds,
and lights will be hurled at the
participant. Drowned in this flood
of commercialism the playgoer
emerges into the theatre proper
to be deluged once again with the
light, and sounds of modern en-,
vironment, and with actors super-imposed
on the scene, there will
The large influx of freshmen
onto the Bethel campus this fall
has been successfully counteracted
with a similar inflow of trained in-structors.
Eight new faculty mem•
bers and a number of part-time in-structors
have been added to com-plete
Bethel's fall slate of person-nel.
A new addition to the English
department is Jon M. Fagerson who
has assumed an assistant profes-sorship
there. Mr. Fagerson did his
undergraduate and masters work
at Harvard and is currently com-pleting
his doctoral program at the
University of Minnesota. An out-doorsman,

wife, Mary, and their two young
daughters, Beth and Sally, were in-troduced
to Minnesota's scenic
specialties when they joined the

Robert A. Guelich, a graduate of
Wheaton College, the University
of Illinois and Fuller Theological
Seminary, is visting instructor of
Biblical literature. He comes to
Bethel from the University of Ham-burg,
Germany, where he has just
received his Th.D.

`Russia has a heritage of para-doxes,'
so said Dr. Donald Tread-gold
as introduction to his recent
address on the Russian Revolution.
These paradoxes are enmeshed in
the very fibre of Russia, he went
on to say. He cited economic fluc-tuations,
the presence of political
philosophs in a totalitarian so-ciety,
and the rising rebellious
beat of the young generation. Ex-panding
somewhat on the political
intrigue which has dogged Russian
history, Dr. Treadgold pointed out
that modern Russia is not a stran-ger
to this violent precedent. Up
to five years ago, every member
of the Politburo, with the excep-tion
of two, were either murdered,
or quietly put away.
Beginning the meat of his ad-dress,
Dr. Treadgold stated that
there were possibly three pivo-tal
dates in Russian history.
First was the emancipation of
the serfs in 1861. Though in
many ways this act was not im-mediately
successful it repre-sented
a drift in Russian society
from the central fount of au-thority
into a heterogeneous so-ciety.
It was accompanied by the
birth of local self-government,
an independent judiciary sys-tem,
and a universal military ob-ligation.
Sociologically, there ap-peared
a new breed of men, in-dustrial
workers, enterpreneurs,
and professionals. Politically, the
masses found their first voice in
the Duma — first representative
legislature in Russian history.
The second pinion in Russian
history represented a reversal of
this trend. It took the form of the
October Revolution in 1917. Rus-sia,
dogged with war, and spirall-ing
discontent, found herself em-broiled
in the throes of an internal
rebirth. The emergence of the
revolutionaries as the victors born
in blood, marked an era in Russian
history which reestablished a cen-tral
fountain of authority. It took
the form of forced collectivization,
nationalization of all industry—in
general the marshalling of all en-terprise
for the state. This trend
bore itself out in the suppression
of all opposition to the ruling
party, and reinitiated the totali-tarian
system used by the early
and middle Romanovs.
Dr. Treadgold made it clear,
however, that this attempt to
regiment the state into a single
monolith though in many cases
succeeded, had numerous lapses.
He cited the persistence and an-noying
success of garden plots
as a case in point. The attitudes
of the masses toward this trend
in Russian history made them-selves
clear on the day that Nazi
armies blitzed the Russian front,
and the lethargic resistance of-fered
by the Russian soldiers—
many, in fact, surrendering with-out
a struggle. In the open coun-tryside,
the peasants hailed the
advancing Nazis as liberators. It
was not long, however, before
the peasants realized that they
had become the victims of a
worse machine than before. The
result? The peasants were once
again forced into the arms of
their only alternative—Stalin.
But Stalin died in 1953, and there
begins the third era in modern
Russian history—a drift again to-ward
decentralization and tolera.,
tion of divergence in society. Dr.
Treadgold dealt briefly with the
three successors to Stalin—Malen-kov,
Krushchev, and Brezhnev,
each on his turn drifting further
and further toward a reform pro-gram.
Dr. Treadgold pointed out
with some humor that these men
—especially Krushchev, have not
been able to answer the dilemma,
of having risen to greatness in
Stalin's seedbed, and at once re-pudiating
Dr. Treadgold's address raises
some serious questions as to where
Russian history is headed. If it is
true that the pendulum has swung
from the right to the left, and back
to the right again, is it not plaus-ible
that in the future sometime,
the pendulum will swing back
again to the left in a crack down
on centralization of the state? If

The House of Atreus, Tyrone Guthrie Theatre,
Minnesota Theatre Company, Sept. 25, 1967.
The Tyrone Guthrie Theatre's
House of Atreus revolves about
the eternal question of "What is
justice?" posed in the misty setting
of a distant era. The play is pro-duced
in the style of Greek dra-ma,
vividly recreating an atmos-phere
that had lain under centur-ies
of dust.
The House of Atreus was writ-ten
by the Greek playwright Aes-chylus,
half a millenium before
the birth of Christ. A fascinating
mixture of history and mythology
provides the framework for a
fierce struggle that extends be-yond
man into the realm of the
gods and raises questions of eter-nal
Treachery and bloodshed have
hung a curse over the House of
Atreus, royal family of the Greek
city of Argos. The unhappy situa-tion
is further clouded by the ab-sence
of Agamemnon, Atreus' soil
and present King of Argos, who is
leading Greek f or c es against
Charged emotions walks a tight-rope
between hope and foreboding
as the play opens in Argos. After
a wait of a decade, a series of bea-cons
relay to Argos the message
that Troy has fallen. Balancing
the hope generated by Agamem-non's
anticipated return is t h e
foreboding resulting from his
wife's unfaithfulness during his
long absence.
Agamemnon returns to an am-biguous
welcome, and is treacher-ously
murdered by his wife and
her lover. Agamemnon's death is
a direct consequence of his fa-ther's
crime, but his murder can-not
end the curse but only deep-ens
the stain of blood.
This bloodshed puts Orestes, Ag-amemnon's
son, in a crushing dile-ma.
Apollo commands him to av-enge
his father's death, but mur-dering
his mother is a sin as
abhorrent as that of not exacting
vengeance for his father's murder.
Hopelessly trapped between those
options, Orestes returns to Argos
from exile, seven years after Ag-amemnon
is killed.
Orestes then kills Clytemnestra
and Aegisthus and almost immedi-,
ately is beset by the Furies, god-desses
of the underworld, who pun-ish
the shedding of kindred blood.
Act II ends with the question of
whether the curse on the House of
Atreus can be absolved or if it
will continue in an everlasting
chain of bloodshed.
Briefly, the third act of the play
is one of reconciliation. Human
strength has been inadequate in
the face of such difficult prob-this
is the case, then how should
our foreign policy brace itself for
any future eventuality?
Does this experience of com-munism
in Russia mean anything
for communism in other environ-ments
such as China? Can we
expect an oscillation of society
there, from the single centered
state to the heterogeneous one?
In review of Dr. Treadgold's ad-dress
it must be said that barring
his delivery, the address was an
excellent primer for the novice in
modern Russian history and should
serve well to whet local appetite
for a knowledge of the story of the
Russian nation in its emergence as
one of the world's strongest, and
most influential states.
lems. The intervention of the gods
is man's last hope.
Urged on by the ghost of Cly-temnestra,
the Furies hound Ores-tes
from Apollo's temple, where
he has gone for purification, to
Athens. Here his case is presented
before Athena, who summons
twelve of Athen's wisest citizens
as a jury. After listening to Apol-lo
and the Furies, the twelve men
are evenly divided; the decision is
too great for man to make. Athena
then casts the deciding vote in
favor of Orestes, and pacifies the
Furies by giving them an honored
place in the community Reconcili-tion
is achieved and a new phase
of justice emerges from man's sor-row
and struggle eclipsing the
idea of justice as vengeance.
The ingredients which make the
stagging of this play impressive
are difficult' to enumerate. Light-ing
and sound effects contributed
greatly to the mood and action of
the play. Diction was exceptional-,
ly good in the main characters,
and the projection of the chorus
to the audience revealed excellent
direction. The movements of the
chorus, and the interpretation of
its lines added much to the Greek
Clytemnestra came through as
the dominant character in the play,
both in acting, and as a literary
creation. Men played all the major
roles, and Douglas Campbell as
Clytemnestra did an amazing job
of conducting himself with a wo-man's
grace, and of delivering his
lines with powerful feeling.
Costuming, complete wtih masks
and elevated shoes, has to be seen
to be appreciated. The unenviable
task of showing the preter-natural
in material form was well done.
Apollo and Athena were depicted
as of gigantic stature, yet with-out
the artificiality of awkward-ness
of huge puppets.
House of Atreus is an "experi-ence."
It takes the viewer back to
a time and place that was, and
does so in a striking and impres-sive

Real Campus Listeners
Seen In Short Supply
A good listener is a phenomenon. Someday, in the coffee
shop, grab the nearest acquaintance and tell him about some-thing
of great importance to you. Watch his reaction . . . is
he interested? Does he give you his undivided attention, or does
he continually look over your shoulder, nod to people as you
talk to him, develop a sudden fascination for the salt and
pepper shakers, or interrupt with an interjection concerning
himself? The latter seems to be a commonplace reaction ac-cording
to a goodly number of Bethel students. The result is
frustration, something that builds up enough in a typical school
day without this, another discouragement.
The real question is, do we really have a genuine interest
in other people? Do their thoughts and ideas matter to us?
Dag Hammarskjold, in his book Markings, speaks of man's in-born
need to communicate . . . how it means so much to us
that at least one person has seen the inside of our lives. This
insight definitely works two ways. As openness to life, a concern
and interest in the inward thoughts and desires of others cannot
help but form a better person, with a deeper knowledge of
himself because he has shared in an experience of another. I
must return to Mr. Hammarskjold to quote his thought con-cerning
the reason and result of our lack of the virtue of
listening. "Isn't the void which surrounds you when the noise
ceases your just reward for a day devoted to preventing others
from neglecting you?" Strange how our selfishness inevitably
appears whether it is in a diagram on a throne or in the coffee
shop humming The Star Spangled Banner while someone relates
emphatically to you his financial jam.
We really have nothing to lose in opening up ourselves
enough to experience something with another. And after all,
"How can we expect to keep our powers of hearing when we
never want to listen?" (D.H.)
Student Missions Project
Yields Personal Returns
The summer student missionary project is a stuffy, dusty
rag which has not been chewed over sufficiently. The waning
interest in its program is revealed in the meagre offerings, and
the number of applicants (12 last year). When campus institu-tions
are on the ebb, it is necessary to re-evaluate their mean-ing
and purpose.
For those on campus who seek some kind of return on
the money they invest during the school year there will be
some disappointment. The student missionaries are not super-men.
It is doubtful whether they will, with one summer abroad,
be able to set the campus on fire for missions. Those who
planned the program with this as one of its vital aims need to
weigh the plausibility of this aim again. If the program is con-tinually
presented as a direct benefit to the campus as a whole,
then there will naturally be disenchantment on the part of its
As we see it, the prime mission of the student missionary
program is to provide an opportunity for the individual stu-dent
to test on the proving grounds his or her own attitudes
toward missions. What is it? Why is it? How is it? Is it for me?
This is where the missions project reaps its richest harvest, in
the results wrought in the lives of the handful who are privi-leged
to go.
A secondary purpose, of course, would be the assistance
rendered by the students to the various works in which they
become involved.
This is not to question the validity of the project. In fact,
it is to recognize that the project has much to offer, and should
be carried on by all means possible. There must, however, be
a new understanding brought about in the minds of the stu-dents
that student missionary projects will not yield to the
campus a direct return. Nor do we expect a direct return on
our investment when we tithe in our various churches. We do
have the promise, however, that God will use the means to
further his work which has also become our own.
When students realize this they will give more freely,,
and with that increase, there will be greater opportunity to
send more students and give more financial help to those who
wish to seek out some answers to modern missions on a for-eign
field. JPL

Mr. Keith Miller
An array of CLARION Home-coming
issues dating from 1957-to
the present may be valuable in pro,
viding an index to general trends
on Bethel's campus as well as to
trends in Homecoming celebration.
Two trends can be singled out
in relation to Homecoming observ-ances
over the years. First of all,
the college presently appears to be
in the midst of a downward course
with respect to elaboration and
The peak of the period from
which we are unwinding was reach-ed
in 1958 when the Royals boast-ed
a royal family complete with
king, queen, and freshman sweet-heart.
Approach to this 1958 peak
was begun in 1946 when titles
which hinted of "royalty" were
awarded some deserving pair of
Bethelites. These titles were "host"
and "hostess."
Advancement toward the 1958
peak was made in 1951 when the,
elected pair attained "kingship"
and "queenship." Somewhere in
the ascending years a freshman
sweetheart was introduced to com-plete
the royal family; however,
1958 was the last year for such,
1959 marked the beginning of an
"iconoclastic age," with a dethrone-,
ment of the king and the establish-ment
of a matriarchal rulership.
Within a few years of this action,
the freshman sweetheart met with
extinction, leaving a figurehead
queen as the single titled person•.
ality of the Homecoming festival.
One will note that the above
progression has been defined in
terms of "upward" and "down-ward,"
claiming for the present
period a point on the downward
scale. In some minds, however, the
labels for this progression may be
just the reverse. A de-emphasis in
the play-up of royalty being the
desired course of events.
A de-emphasis upon royalty and
ceremonial may indeed be advan-tageous
for the college as a whole.
Though not necessarily true, the
de-accent may correspond with a
greater stress on academics, intel-lectualism,
and inter-personal com-munication.
Such logic would ob-viously
place Bethel at an all-time
high in the march of progress. We
are now ascending from an era of
sentimentality, and over-play to
one of respectability and dignity in
our handling of traditional affairs.
A second trend to be noted over
the years of Homecoming celebra-tions
seems to be an increased in-tensity
and seriousness of the
weekend's focus, the theme.
Though not in an attempt to bet
critical, the theme for one Home-coming
in the late fifties era was,
"Get That Royal Feeling." Later
themes have concerned themselves
Keith Miller is to Orthodox
Christianity what John Robinson
was to neo-Orthodoxy, and neo-.
Liberalism. He has written what is
probably one of the most popular
books to come out of orthodoxy in
recent years. THE TASTE OF

eleventh printing since it first ap-peared
in August 1965.
Mr. Miller will be the keynote
speaker for Homecoming's Satur,
day night program. His address
will be given in the fieldhouse at
8:00 p.m. that evening.

exploration companies in Okla-homa
Since 1963 he has been Director
with such topics as "Involvement,"
and the "Prologue of the Past,";
this year's theme deals with "Pow-er
in our many-sided Unity." Hope-fully,
we are not too near-sighted
to claim for Bethel's recent years a
greater seroiusness and thought-fulness.
Though such viewpoints may
sound highly ethnocentric and may
well be invalid, it is one similar in
nature to attitudes held by some
of the famous figures in history.

A bright spot in the season so

The 1967-68 intramural program
got off to a sudden start last Sat-urday
with only two teams for-feiting.
The two completely heter-ogeneous
teams of completely off
campus men managed to field a
team. Off Campus no. 2 beat
first floor 13-6 while Off Campus
no. 1 was defeated by Second Old
20-0. Falcon Manor and Third 014
forfeited to Second New and Third
New respectively.
On the first play from scrim,
mage, Rick Peterson tossed a pass
to brother Steve who trotted down
the field for a 75 yard touchdown
play to give O.C. no. 2 a 6-0 lead.
For the rest of the half, the ball
changed hands without any scor-ing.
Steve Peterson intercepted
three passes to keep First Floor
from getting into a scoring posi ,

The Bethel Royals bumped up
against the Lakeland football team
for one half of hard-fought, even
scoring action. The home team
came up with the first touchdown
of the game. John Carmean evaded
a couple of defenders as he caught
a Selander pass and skipped across
the goal line unmolested. Lakeland
came back to score on a 32 yard
pass play and added the extra
point to give them a 7-6 margin at
the quarter. In the second quarters
the "Muskie" halfback scampered
32 yards and kicked the extra point
to increase the margin to 14-6. Not
to be outdone, the Royal eleven
staunchly marched down the field
in a touchdown drive culminating
in a nine yard pass, Selander to
Jack Campbell. Al then dashed
across the goal line for a two point
conversion to tie the game 14 all

Bill Geigert, freshman cross country runner, has got the
desire needed to really go places this year. Last year, he
graduated from Madison West High School, where he was
solely a football player. But instead of doing the obvious thing
and going out for football here at Bethel, Bill decided to take
up the challenge of long-distance running.
Already, with only two meets under his belt, Bill is re-sponding
in fabulous style. He has been the first man to finish
for Bethel in both meets, and won last week's meet in record
breaking time. In so doing, he beat Hamline's excellent miler,
who has run the mile in 4:15,.,
As yet, because of his lack of experience, Geigert hasn't
learned the art of pacing himself. Bill still had something left
after crossing the finish line last Saturday. Coach Trager feels
that as the experience comes, Geiger can make strides toward
future greatness.
Faithfulness to the hard work of running is Bill's biggest
asset. He runs from 15 to 20 miles a day! In fact, a week ago
Sunday night, Bill ran 18 miles to get something to eat, and
proceeded to run the full 18 miles back. I was not surprised to
hear that he has run to downtown Minneapolis and back on
occasion, also.
This is DEDICATION!
Bill Geigert is not the only athlete with this important
quality. Look at Al Selander. This boy has played slot back in
both his previous years in Bethel football, and was given the
unenviable task of being this year's starting quarterback.
His dedication to doing the very best job he can at this
new position is something Coach Shields deeply admires. And
Coach feels that Al has the potential to become an excellent
college quarterback. Also, Hamline tackle Brian Fuller has ex-pressed
great respect for the passing ability of Bethel's new
These two examples show what DEDICATION can do in
the field of sport.
What's the idea of scheduling intramural games at the
same time that the varsity is playing? Don't you think our male
students can sacrifice a little sleep so that we won't have a
Ah yes, the football game Saturday. The first half showed
to us as students the potential of our team. No qualms about it,
Bethel played well. We just plain "ran out of gas" in the third
period. The basic problem is depth; nine of our men had to
play both ways. Coach admits that this is a building year, but
he definitely is not "throwing in the towel." Better things are

Second Old started their white-washing

punt return by Bill Lehman. Later
in the half, Dan Larson crossed
the goal line to provide a 14-0
halftime lead. Bill Lehman added

The best time to plan your Black Friday shopping is right now. Even if you're not going to be throwing elbows down at Walmart, you want to make sure there's money set aside for big purchases. Sure, it ruins the surprise a little, but who wants to be waiting in line for one thing then find out there's something even better across town? Deals are already beginning to leak out, even with Black Friday this far away. Here's five big deals we already know about on electronics and other tech goodies for Black Friday.
Watch Worthy
Drive-time radio
Back in the day, cars didn't come standard with Bluetooth receivers or audio jacks. When it came time to listen to music, we turned on the radio. In spite of how much has come and gone since drive-time radio burst onto the scene, millions of people still rely on DJs for music, news, and entertainment. There's just something special about a real person curating our musical experience on the other end of the antenna. Learn about the history of drive-time radio, and how it's holding up in the modern era.

Now her disability is turning into a superpower, thanks to tech.
The cable that united the world
We sometimes take for granted the fact that we can instantly talk to people halfway around the world. The internet can bridge thousands of miles -- but it wasn't always this way. In the days before the internet, massive undersea cables were needed to send electrical signals across the Atlantic Ocean. The first of these cables was laid by a man named Cyrus West Field, whose forward-thinking innovation helped build the world we live in today. This is his story, and the story of how we united the world with a single wire.
This is why Costco's pizza is so delicious
Costco rakes in around $1 billion per year in food court sales -- and for good reason. Its famous by-the-slice pizza is beloved by shoppers and diners alike, making the big-box store one of the largest pizza chains in the country. What is it, though, that makes its pizza so darn good? Dive into the cheesy goodness and learn why Costco pizza gets top marks.

You could quickly post text and photos, then take them down whenever you wanted. You didn't even have to post your email address. Now, Craigslist is a ghost of its former self.

5 ways to slash your smartphone bills
Remember, a smartphone is a small computer, and computers are expensive. Even older-model phones can cost hundreds of dollars, never mind the $1,149 you'd have to pay for an iPhone X with 256GB, or the Samsung Galaxy S9, which costs upwards of $950. No matter the carrier, the freefall days of free and discounted phones are over, at least among mainstream providers.

Sell your old cellphone for big bucks
When learning about and playing with your new smartphone, did you ever stop to think about what to do with the old one? Throw it out? Give it away? You weren't planning on using it ever again, after all, and it was just going to be a high-tech paperweight. While it may be too late for the phone you replaced years ago, it's a good thing to know that you can actually sell your old phone. And not for pennies, either. But for real money.
These forensic tools expose any photo's hidd
Images contain a treasure trove of hidden, useful data, including date and time of image capture, time zone, type of smartphone used, and the geographical location. To expose any photo's hidden data, forensic tools may be used. Forensic tools can detect simple metadata or perform more advanced functions, such as to determine if a photo was altered.
Stop robocalls with Google Voice
Even with the National Do Not Call Registry in place, automated phone calls can still come flooding in. Many businesses sell your information to third parties. In fact, agreeing to this kind of information trade can be part of the deal for many free or low-cost services. The bottom line: Robocalls are annoying and need to be stopped.
How to know if someone blocked your number
When you block a number, you no longer receive calls or text messages from that person. With Apple's iPhone, it also blocks FaceTime contacts. This can be helpful for stopping some unwanted spam calls, but it can also be used for personal reasons. You won't get any sort of official notice if someone blocks your calls, but you can make an educated guess by looking for these signs.

By Matt Citak
After months of sweating it out each and every Sunday, we have finally come to the most stressful part of the fantasy season. If you are reading this article, then that means you made your fantasy football playoffs. Given how unpredictable this season has been, making the playoffs was no easy feat. But now that you're here, let's try to get you past the first round and into the semifinals.
We wish everyone luck as the playoff season begins!
With that in mind, here are CBS Local Sports' Week 14 Fantasy Starts and Sits.
QB: Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
The matchup looks tough on paper, as the Ravens enter Week 14 allowing just 199 passing yards per game, which ranks third in the NFL. However you must keep in mind that Baltimore just lost their top corner, Jimmy Smith, to a torn Achilles. Smith was Pro Football Focus' No. 13-graded cornerback, and without him their secondary takes a huge hit. It's also important to remember that this week's clash between the two AFC North rivals takes place in Pittsburgh, where Roethlisberger has been absolutely dominating. Since 2014, when facing the Ravens, Roethlisberger has averaged 11.5 fantasy points per game in Baltimore, but 29.4 fantasy points per game at home. The 35-year-old veteran has 10 touchdowns over his last three games, and is now tied for fifth in passing touchdowns on the season (22). Look for Ben to keep the good times rolling on Sunday Night Football.
QB: Alex Smith, Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs are in a downward spiral, having lost six of their last seven games and their lead in the AFC West. Kansas City is coming off a tough 31-38 loss to the New York Jets, but Smith did everything in his power to get the Chiefs the win. The veteran quarterback threw for 366 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions, while adding a nice 70-yard run to his final stats. Smith is in line for yet another strong performance this week, as the Chiefs welcome the Raiders to Kansas City. The 33-year-old has finished with at least 20 fantasy points in three of his last five meetings with Oakland, including over 25 fantasy points in Week 7. The Raiders are giving up over 20 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season, which makes Smith a solid play in the first week of the fantasy playoffs.
QB: Jimmy Garoppolo, San Francisco 49ers
After years of poor quarterback play, the 49ers finally got a flash of hope last week when Garoppolo made his first start with San Francisco. The 26-year-old didn't put up the biggest fantasy day, but still completed 70.3 percent of his passes for 293 yards, showing poise in the pocket against a surprisingly solid Bears defense. Garoppolo has a much better matchup this week as the 49ers take on the Texans in Week 14. Houston enters the matchup ranked 22nd in passing yards allowed per game (236) and tied for 27th in passing touchdowns allowed per game (23), and they are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year. If you're looking to stream a quarterback this week, you could do a lot worse than Garoppolo.
RB: Rex Burkhead, New England Patriots
It took more than half the season, but Burkhead has finally emerged from New England's crowded backfield as the team's primary red zone weapon. The fifth-year back has collected five touchdowns over his last four games, and is accounting for almost 40 percent of New England's red zone touchdowns over the last month. Rob Gronkowski was suspended for Week 14, and the last time he sat out, James White saw nine targets in the passing game. Over the last few weeks, Burkhead has taken over White's role in the offense while also receiving almost all of the carries from within the 10-yard line (top-five in opportunities inside the 5- and 10-yard lines over the last month). The veteran has received double digit carries in three of the last four games, and seems to have solidified his role in the Patriots offense. Burkhead could be in for a monster game in Week 14.
RB: Giovani Bernard, Cincinnati Bengals
Let me preface this by saying Bernard is a must-start IF Joe Mixon is unable to suit up, and considering the rookie just suffered a concussion on Monday Night Football, chances are Bernard will get the start. After Mixon went down in the second quarter of Cincinnati's Week 13 game, Bernard came in and saw 100 percent of the team's running back touches, taking 13 carries for 77 yards (5.9 yards per carry). The 26-year-old back has received just 47 carries this season, but is leading the team with a yards per carry average of 4.2. With Jeremy Hill already on IR, if Mixon is unable to make it back onto the field in time, Bernard will likely receive a massive workload. This makes the veteran a great play this week, even in a mediocre matchup against the Bears and their No. 15-ranked run defense.
RB: Mike Davis, Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks have been looking for an answer at the running back position ever since rookie Chris Carson fractured his ankle in Week 4. In Week 13, it looked as if Seattle might have found the solution to their problem. Mike Davis, active for just the second time all season, was the lead back for the Seahawks, carrying the ball 16 times for 64 yards (4.0 yards per carry) and adding four receptions for 37 yards. Seattle has a tough matchup this week, battling the Jacksonville Jaguars and their elite defense. While the Jaguars defense has been playing well all season, it thrives against the pass but actually struggles against the run. Jacksonville is giving up 4.56 yards per carry, and if Seattle wants to come out of Week 14 with a win, it will have to find a way to establish the run game. Davis could put up sneaky RB2 production in this matchup.
WR: Josh Gordon, Cleveland Browns
One of the biggest storylines of Week 13 was the long-awaited return of wide receiver Josh Gordon, who appeared in his first NFL game since December 21, 2014. Gordon had a tough matchup in his return, having to face Casey Hayward and the Los Angeles Chargers. Well the shadow coverage from one of the league's top corners did not faze Gordon, as he caught four passes for 85 yards. That performance may not sound that great on paper, but it made Gordon only the second wide receiver to have 85 yards or more against Hayward all season (Odell Beckham Jr. is the other). The Browns' Week 14 matchup is much easier, as they welcome the Packers to Cleveland. Green Bay is allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to outside receivers, and just lost corner Kevin King for the rest of the season. Look for Gordon to feast on the Packers' depleted secondary.
WR: Michael Crabtree, Oakland Raiders
Crabtree is back after missing last week due to his one-game suspension for fighting with Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib, and I don't think his matchup could get any better. Oakland has a huge divisional game against Kansas City this week, but Chiefs head coach Andy Reid suspended cornerback Marcus Peters for this game because of his meltdown against the Jets last week. Peters is Kansas City's top corner and best player in the secondary, and the defense will certainly struggle without him. Add in the fact that Amari Cooper looks to be on his way to missing a second straight game, and Crabtree is in great position to receive double digit targets. Crabtree has found his way into the end zone in three of his last five contests against Kansas City, and with the playoff implications surrounding this game, look for the veteran receiver to have one of his strongest games of the season.
WR: Marquise Goodwin, San Francisco 49ers
Garoppolo wasn't the only 49er to play well during the QB's SF debut last week. Goodwin, who entered Week 13 with a season-high of five receptions, caught all eight passes thrown in his direction, totaling 99 yards in what was his best overall performance of the 2017 season. The Texans are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to outside wide receivers, which is where Goodwin runs most of his routes. In addition, Houston is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers on deep passes, something that should benefit Goodwin greatly. The fifth-year receiver ran a 40-yard dash in just 4.27 seconds at his combine, and leads San Francisco in deep targets. As long as Garoppolo doesn't put up a dud of a performance, Goodwin should have himself a very nice day on Sunday.
TE: Cameron Brate, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Brate was able to snap his six-game scoreless streak by catching two touchdown passes, one for 28 yards and the other for nine, against the Packers last week. The overtime loss in Green Bay was also Jameis Winston's first game back after missing several games due to a shoulder injury, and the young quarterback did not seem to show any rust. Winston has relied on his tight ends all season, and picked up right where he left off in Week 13. This week the Buccaneers take on a Lions defense giving up the eight-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Detroit has allowed four touchdowns to tight ends in the last three games. Brate is a great replacement for any fantasy owners scrambling with Gronk and possibly Zach Ertz out this week.
TE: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, New York Jets
There is no denying the fact that Seferian-Jenkins has been pretty awful over the last month and a half. After catching a touchdown pass in three consecutive games from Weeks 5-7, ASJ has not been able to find the end zone since, while topping 30 yards just once over his last five games. That is hardly the type of production you want to see out of a tight end as we enter the fantasy playoffs. But Week 14 might serve as the turning point for the veteran tight end's season, as a matchup with the Broncos could help break any tight end's cold streak. Only the Giants and Browns are allowing more fantasy points per game to the tight end this position than the Broncos, who have allowed an opposing tight end to score in six of the last eight games. Starting ASJ comes with a risk, but with this matchup, this is the week to roll the dice on him.
QB: Kirk Cousins, Washington Redskins
Cousins has been great this season, throwing for 3,289 yards, 21 touchdowns, and eight interceptions through Washington's first 12 games of the year. But the good fortune is unlikely to carry to Week 14, as Cousins has one of his toughest matchups of 2017 with the Redskins heading out west to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers. Los Angeles ranks third-best in opposing passer rating, fifth-best in passing yards allowed per game, and fifth-best in total passing touchdowns allowed this season. The Chargers' secondary is fantastic, but the pass rush, led by Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, is also superb. Starting offensive linemen Trent Williams and Morgan Moses did not practice on Wednesday, meaning there is a good chance the Redskins will be without at least one of these two starters come Sunday. That is awful news for Cousins, who could be spending a good portion of this game running for his life.
QB: Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams
There is no player that has benefited more from the arrival of Sean McVay in Los Angeles than Jared Goff. The second-year quarterback is enjoying a stellar sophomore campaign. With 75 percent of the season behind us, Goff has thrown for 3,184 yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions. But the young quarterback could be in for a tough day this Sunday as the Rams battle the Eagles in matchup between two of the NFC's biggest powerhouses. Philadelphia's pass defense got a huge boost from the return of Ronald Darby in Week 11, and after a letdown performance against Seattle last week, they will be looking for a bounce back performance. If Robert Woods is able to return, I like Goff's chances of succeeding this week a lot more. If he is unable to go, I'd be very hesitant to start Goff.
QB: Marcus Mariota, Tennessee Titans
Mariota was able to reach 20 fantasy points last week for just the second time this season, but it was due in large part to his rushing statistics. The young QB picked up 23 yards and a touchdown on the ground, helping to boost his otherwise awful fantasy day. Mariota has now gone two consecutive games with less than 185 passing yards, and has thrown for multiple touchdowns in only two contests this year. The Titans go up against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14, and Arizona has held three of the last five quarterbacks they have faced to 18 fantasy points or less. His abilities as a runner always elevates his fantasy floor, but this matchup could easily end up getting real ugly for the third-year quarterback.
RB: Latavius Murray, Minnesota Vikings
Murray has performed a lot better than people thought he would after taking over for rookie Dalvin Cook following the rookie's torn ACL. The veteran back ranks sixth in carries per game since Week 7, and has done well with those carries over the last month. Murray has picked up four touchdowns in his last four games, while recording between 15-20 carries in each contest during that stretch. But for any fantasy owners relying on Murray, his Week 14 matchup could not be much worse. The Panthers have one of the best front-sevens in the NFL, and are allowing a mere 88.6 rushing yards per game. Carolina has held opposing running backs to the sixth-fewest rushing fantasy points per game, and while Murray does sometimes receive a reception or two, Jerick McKinnon is clearly the team's pass-catching back. I'm staying away from Murray in this tough matchup.
RB: Christian McCaffrey, Carolina Panthers
Murray is not the only running back that could struggle in the Vikings-Panthers showdown. McCaffrey is enjoying a solid rookie campaign. While he has only carried the ball 82 times for 284 yards (3.5 yards per carry) and three touchdowns, McCaffrey has played a significant role in Carolina's passing game, picking up 64 receptions for 501 yards and four receiving touchdowns. However I'd be worried starting the rookie against the Vikings. Minnesota has given up just four touchdowns to running backs all season, and only four backs have reached double digit fantasy points against them. The Vikings also do a good job of limiting pass-catching running backs, and have had success against the likes of Chris Thompson, Todd Gurley, Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman. With McCaffrey registering 11 touches or less in three straight games, his fantasy production will rely on him scoring a touchdown, which is far from a guarantee against the Vikings.
RB: C.J. Anderson, Denver Broncos
Anderson had his best game in almost three months last week, totaling 67 yards on the ground and an additional 43 yards through the air. It was the first time the veteran topped 100 yards from scrimmage since Week 4, and it was also his highest snap share since Denver's fourth game. Despite their 5-7 record, the Jets have played really well against running backs all season. New York is in the top-10 for fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs on the season, and have not allowed a back to reach double digit fantasy points against them in standard leagues in four games. The Jets have actually held every running back they have faced to 12.0 fantasy points or less since Week 4. While it seems as if Anderson was successful in fighting off Devontae Booker for Denver's starting running back role, I'm planting the veteran firmly on my bench this week.
WR: Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers
The Packers offense has not looked good since Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone. That shouldn't come as a surprise, as taking an MVP candidate out of the offense would affect any team. But even with the team's offensive struggles, Adams has been able to continue to produce good fantasy numbers. The young receiver has recorded either seven receptions, 80 yards or a touchdown in four of the six games started by backup QB Brett Hundley. And while the matchup against the winless Browns sounds great on paper, the Cleveland defense has actually been quite stingy against opposing wide receivers. Cleveland is allowing the ninth-fewest PPR fantasy points to opposing WRs on the season, and held Marvin Jones Jr. (3.2 points), Marqise Lee (9.5 points), and A.J. Green (11.6 points) in-check from Weeks 10-12. Cornerbacks Jason McCourty and Briean Boddy-Calhoun are playing great football, and will likely limit Adams and the Packers offense this week.
WR: Devin Funchess, Carolina Panthers
Funchess has done a fantastic job serving as the Panthers' No. 1 wide receiver since Kelvin Benjamin was traded to the Bills. In his last four games, the young receiver has caught 21-of-33 targets for 346 yards and three touchdowns, clearly serving as Cam Newton's favorite target in the passing game. But it is difficult to imagine Funchess putting up a big game against the Vikings defense this week. Only five wide receivers have reached double digits in fantasy points in standard leagues against Minnesota this season. The biggest reason for that is the presence of elite, shutdown cornerback Xavier Rhodes, who will likely be lined up across from Funchess for most of Sunday's game. Greg Olsen is also expected to return this week, which will cut into Funchess' targets. Start Funchess if you must, but you should lower your expectations by a significant margin in this daunting matchup.
WR: Josh Doctson, Washington Redskins
Doctson has been playing some of the best football of his short, NFL career over the last few weeks, catching either a touchdown or over 80 receiving yards in each of his last three games. But as mentioned with Cousins, the Redskins take on the Chargers' elite pass defense this week, and Doctson is the most likely candidate to see shadow coverage from Pro Football Focus' No. 1 ranked cornerback, Casey Hayward. Hayward has played on 92 percent of Los Angeles' snaps since Week 6, and has surrendered only 3.8 fantasy points per game into his coverage over that stretch of games. If that weren't impressive enough, the wide receivers he faced during that span include Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree, Demaryius Thomas, and Dez Bryant. I'm avoiding Doctson at all costs this week.
TE: Vernon Davis, Washington Redskins
Davis joins teammates Cousins and Doctson on the "Sit" list. If you haven't noticed by know, I am not high on the Redskins this week. Davis has done an admirable job filling in for the injured Jordan Reed this season, collecting 542 receiving yards despite having two games where he wasn't targeted even once. But the veteran tight end has seemingly fallen off of Cousins' radar, as he has only been targeted three times over the last two games. Meanwhile Niles Paul, Washington's No. 3 tight end heading into the season, has been targeted eight times over the last two weeks. Davis is way too hard to trust right now, and with it being the fantasy playoffs, he is too big of a risk. The Chargers are also giving up the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, further adding to Davis' gloomy outlook this week.
TE: Jared Cook, Oakland Raiders
Cook has been decent this season, with 43 receptions for 546 yards and a touchdown in 12 games. But his production over the last two weeks is very worrisome. Cook has caught just one-of-five targets in each of Oakland's last two games, combining for 11 total yards over that span. What makes matters worse is that those two matchups were against the Giants and Broncos, two of the NFL's worst defenses against opposing tight ends. If he couldn't produce against two of the worst defenses against his position, why would he do well against the best defense versus opposing tight ends? Kansas City limited Rob Gronkowski, Hunter Henry, Jason Witten, Evan Engram, and Austin Seferian-Jenkins to under 6.0 PPR fantasy points each this season. And while Cook's best outing of the season came against the Chiefs in Week 7, I do not expect a repeat performance this time around. If Cook is your starting tight end, I would be looking on the waiver wire for a replacement for Week 14.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is watching you. That's what it does. It watches and it listens. It knows your face and it listens to your voice. And if that sounds creepy, wait until you hear what the latest Android superphone will do to your friends.
"The phone is actually watching you," explains Min Cho, Samsung senior manager, Sales & Marketing, Mobile Communications, with a glint in his eye as he runs Pocket-lint through a few of his favourite features.
"You will recognise whether the phone sees you or not. Generally, my screen timeout is set to 15 seconds and then it turns off."
He continues to look at the screen. Fifteen seconds pass. The screen is still as bright as ever.
"Now it sees me, it recognises me. Even though I didn't touch anything, it will not turn off. It recognises my eye contact."
Very nice. Smart Stay, we're told it's called and, although this isn't the kind of headline feature you'll find on the spec sheet, it's with touches like this the Samsung looks to elevate its latest hero handset from both the Galaxy S predecessor and the competition as well, Android or otherwise.
Smart Stay works by face recognition through the Galaxy S III's improved, 1.9-megapixel, front-facing camera - a camera capable of capturing 720p video despite being the lesser of the two snappers on the device. The idea behind the feature, of course, is that you don't have to keep pressing the lock button to keep the screen lit while you're reading a long article, but it's the importance of the software that powers it that begins to unfold as Cho explains where else Samsung has brought it into play on its phone.
"The camera is one of the most frequently used applications and it's very important to us. We are very committed to enhancing consumer experience of photos. Now consumers can capture the moment with no lag between pressing the camera app button and the actual screen you'll see before shooting; and faster shot-to-shot experience too. We have minimised the reloading time, so much so that you can take more than three different photos per second."
While the phone, like most in this days and age, has the software to sense and balance the brightness, contrast, colour and the smiles and eyes of those in your frame, it's what Samsung has chosen to do with that information that's impressive. As with Smart Stay, the face recognition code is put to greater use than working out just how to focus your pictures. What your Galaxy S III will do next is cross-reference the faces in your photos with those associated to the contacts in your phone book app.
As a result, a feature Samsung calls Buddy Photo Share allows you to click straight through to your friends' Facebook pages from the Gallery app where you can post the shot or comment or whatever it is you feel empowered to do. And there's no obligation to go through Facebook at all. At the same time, a one-tap operation means you can share the same snap to the recognised contact by MMS or e-mail with the information pulled straight out of your phone book and into the viewing gallery. In fact, so much importance has the company placed on faces that it's even chucked in a Face Slideshow where you can swipe through a series of your pictures with each zoomed in at visage level.
"Designed for humans, inspired by nature, smart and intuitively quick," says Cho more than once in our session and it's the latter two facets that Samsung seems most to be addressing.
With Steve Jobs once famously accusing Android of being for geeks, it appears to be the mass appeal and mass usability that Samsung has targetted most of all in an update which features comparatively restrained specs to previous phone arrivals. Indeed, it's not without similarity to Siri that we're introduced to the voice recognition software in the Galaxy S III.
"S Voice is beyond a natural evolution of Voice Talk which we had pre-installed in the predecessor, the Galaxy S II. Now we can actually listen to you and you can conveniently interact with it by simply talking to it because S phones now understand what you say through letter and language processing."
Android, of course, is already well-equipped with voice interaction as standard but where Samsung has taken it further with the S III is by letting users unlock their device direct to certain functions without having to touch the phone at all. Given that S Voice needs to be trained, it should even be secure enough to respond solely to the owner.
"You can just say, 'Hi Galaxy,' and use one of four different customised wake up commands. 'What's the weather like today,' and it will answer for you; 'I want to take a picture,' and then the camera application will open up. You don't have to press the button any more."
Of course, with Siri itself not receiving the warmest of responses so far, it's debatable how much importance one should place on voice-recognition features at all. It's clear that Samsung certainly wants to be in the game, though, and it's not hard to see how asking for a weather report with the Galaxy S III placed on your bedside table is going to be a lot quicker than doing it manually - provided S Voice can recognise your first croaks of the day.
"We think we're providing the best user experience," says Cho proudly, "and the optimum viewing experience on the go is critical for that."
That would certainly explain the 4.8-inch screen on the Galaxy S III, up from 4.3 inches on the diagonal on the S II and dangerously close to the super-sized 5.3-inch Galaxy Note.
"We have slimmed down the bezel so much that the portability is not compromised. It's been guaranteed with a minimal design but, because of the bezel optimisation, it doesn't look like a 4.8-inch phone, even though it is one. It's become larger by just 16 per cent than the Galaxy S II."
Indeed, the lines and dimensions - inspired by water, wind, sound and other elements of nature, so we're told - are certainly an improvement on the Galaxy Nexus but to suggest that this softly-softly approach is all that Samsung has done would be to misunderstand how the company has been so successful in wrestling the Android crown from its competitors' hands since the Galaxy line began. The Exynos 4 makes the S III the fastest and most powerful, according to Cho, and it's on the back of these quad-core processors and 65 per cent faster clock speed that all the voice and finger-friendly features can run.
It's hard to tell at this stage whether it will be the hearts and minds approach or the raw power that wins the customers over but, what does seem certain is this phone is set to sell.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Raise $4 Million at Barack Obama Fundraiser in NYC
Beyonce and Jay-Z hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama last night (Sept. 18), which raised $4 million for the president's re-election campaign.
According to the Washington Post, a ticket to get into the event at Jay-Z's 40/40 club in New York cost attendees a cool $40,000. One hundred tickets were reportedly sold, amounting to the $4-million contribution.
Obama was the featured guest of the night, speaking in front of the intimate audience. He joked about his common ground with the Hova, saying, "Jay-Z now knows, you know, what my life is like. We both have daughters. And our wives are more popular than we are … So we've got a little bond there. It's hard, but it's okay."
Us Weekly reports that Obama also thanked the star couple, adding extra praise for Bey. "To J and B, thank you so much for your friendship," the President said to his hosts. "Beyonce could not be a better role model for my girls."
The feeling is mutual. In July, Beyonce posted a YouTube video showing her support for Obama's re-election and reading a letter she wrote to Michelle Obama. "Michelle, thank you so much for every single thing that you do for us," Beyonce said in the clip. "I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to."
The presidential election will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

For quite sometime now, I have been receiving regular updates from a group of IMGs who have had bitter experiences with bestscramble- a firm that supposedly places IMGs in clinical externships and also helps them with residency placements for a big sum of money.
Once before in the past, I had already posted a warning-kinda post about bestscramble and the complaint posted on BBB. That was obviously based on circumstantial evidence, but this group of IMGs who have been victims themselves decided to dig deeper into, do some sleuthing and uncovered some pretty startling facts.
As I understand, this group has now hired a detective to investigate further. If anyone else had bitter experiences with www.bestscramble.com, it may help to write to me.

Hauser tabbed Big Ten Swimmer of the Week
Hauser tabbed Big Ten Swimmer of the Week
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- John Hauser (Pottstown, Pa.) claimed Penn State's first Big Ten Swimmer of the Week award of the season on Tuesday (Oct. 22), after turning in impressive performances in a number of events in Friday's season-opening win over West Virginia.
The senior competed in the 50 and 100 freestyle events and claimed wins in both races. Hauser set the McCoy Natatorium record in the 50 freestyle with a time of 20.14, which also is an NCAA provisional qualifying time.
In addition to his great performance in the 50 freestyle, the Pottstown native won the 100 freestyle race in impressive fashion, finishing in 44.39, nearly two seconds faster than the second place finisher. To top off his performance, Hauser was part of the 400 freestyle relay team that touched the wall first in a time of 3:01.79.
The honor marks the first time in the senior's career that he has garnered this recognition. Hauser become the first Nittany Lion on the men's team to win the award since Sean Grier grabbed the accolade on Jan. 29, 2013.
Hauser and the Blue and White travel to Buffalo for their first away meet of the season on Nov. 2 to face the Bison in a meet that is scheduled to start at 2 p.m.

The Fall ACS meeting, held in Washington DC, is over and I can get back to breathing. The CINF program at the meeting was excellent (but I'm biased) with a variety of symposia. Notable amongst them was the Herman Skolnik symposium, honoring this years Herman Skolnik awardee, Yvonne Martin. Of all the talks, two that caught my eye. Jonathan Goodmans' talk showed the first case of an InChI key collision, which appears to have been confirmed by ChemSpider and Symyx. The second talk was by Anthony Nicholls of OpenEye at the Herman Skolnik symposium. He discussed the issue of 'hyperparametric modeling', i.e., the fact that many types of models ranging from QSAR to molecular dynamics and ab initio methods are over paarmetrized. While this problem is very obvious in QSAR modeling (hence feature selection), the implicit parametrization in things like force fields, ab initio methods is not always obvious. He also discussed issues with model validation techniques such as cross-validation and y-scrambling and suggested techniques that might be better to assess a model. In essence he suggests that we will be more rigorous about model quality when we start assesing the "risk" of a bad model, rather than just how well the model fits the data (which can obviously be misleading). While these ideas are not brand new, the examples and the presentation were eye opening. The last talk in General Papers on Thursday was also quite interesting – B.-Y. Jin spoke about topological rules defining the structures of various nanotube and fullerene structures and how he had been constructing them as bead models. Examples of them can be found on his blog .
I was also involved in organizing a symposium on scripting and programming with COMP. We initially feared that the topic might be too geeky, but we were pleasntly surprised by the size of the audience. We had speakers talking about their favorite languages and how they do modeling and cheminformatics using them. I spoke about R and rcdk – which turned out to be so hot that we were interrupted by a fire alarm (three times!)
On the social events side of things, it was good to meet up with old friends and make new ones. CINF hosted a number of receptions, all excellent. A dinner for CINF functionaries was held at Zaytinya – a Mediterranean tapas restaurant. All I can say is: mindblowing! I had never realized that shrimp and dill could be such a killer combination. The Blue Obelisk dinner was held at PS7, serving eclectic American cuisine. The food was nice, though the service wasn't too great.
But I have a few days to rest, after which I'll get on to the San Francisco program (which I must say, is looking very cool)

Planning and Reporting with Kanban
A new conference! A new format! A new movement! London 28 September
The Enterprise Services Planning Management Summit is designed for managers in all types of professional services to come together and share their challenges managing modern 21st Century business in a complex world of disruptive change and ever shifting customer demands and expectations.
Lean Kanban University is introducing a new entry level Kanban class for Team Kanban together with a certification and professional credential, TKP, Team Kanban Practitioner. This new class becomes the entry level on the "alternative path to agility" and reflects the market reality that most Kanban starts shallow and at the team level.
The Kanban Method was conceived as an alternative path to agility - as a means to improve responsiveness and adaptability without any significant revolution or reorganization in your way or working or political structure of your business. Lean Kanban University has recently introduced a series of training classes developed and evolved from older, tried and tested curriculum to ease adoption of Kanban and communicate the full scope and scale of what is possible when you fully embrace Kanban as a way to manage your modern professional services business.
I've been giving some careful thought to why it became necessary to create the concept of Enterprise Services Planning.
At the most fundamental level, ESP was necessary to provide a container for the collection of things we were teaching that were beyond kanban systems and beyond the scope of the Kanban Method. These were the things that enabled the optimal and effective use of kanban systems - topics such as: probabilistic forecasting and statistical analysis; qualitative risk assessment; real option theory; connecting strategy to operational mechanisms such as Kanban capacity allocation; and so forth. ESP represents a system of management for an entire professional services business. It isn't just an IT thing and it certainly isn't just for operational management of a single service delivery workflow. So we needed a name that encompassed concepts that were a lot bigger than Kanban.
Recently, I've taken a new approach to teaching The Kanban Method. The new Lean Kanban "Practicing the Kanban Method" class is built around the 7 Kanban Cadences - the cyclical meetings that drive evolutionary change and "fit for purpose" service delivery. Two of these meetings are relatively new additions to the method: Risk Review added in 2014 as a response to Klaus Leopold formalizing Blocker Clustering in 2013; and Strategy Review as an emergent response to the concept of "fit for purpose" and the need to sense the external environment, in order to be able to respond appropriately. The other 5 were existing elements of the method, though the first edition of my Kanban book ommitted Service Delivery Review. In truth our training has not until now emphasized these meetings and particularly replenishment/commitment and delivery planning have not been explicitly taught. Little wonder then that these very basic functions of Kanban have not been well implemented in the field.
