Equiso Smart TV Pro - Stretched Goals
What's that? More? We couldn't give away everything on the first day. Where's the fun in that?
Our goal was to raise $100,000 on kickstarter to begin production, though, what's really important to us after that goal is the support of the community. That's why we want to say thank you with even more features. We have a new $99 pledge. The "Equiso Smart TV Pro - Stretched Goals " pledge. Every time we hit our goal we give everyone in the stretched goals pledge even more features, for free. How's that for saying thank you.
Pledges $39 and $55: CHOICE of Original Model (Ships August) or PRO Model with 1 GB RAM and additional rewards if goals are met (Ships October)
Pledge of $69: ORIGINAL MODEL ONLY! (Ships in August)
Pledge of $99: PRO MODEL! (1 GB RAM plus additional stretched rewards if goals are met) (Ships in October) *Can multiply $99 by however many Smart TVs you would like to order to get more than 1 Smart TV
Pledges of $125 and $138: 2 ORIGINALS MODEL ONLY! (Ships in August)
We hope this helps anyone that is still confused. :)
Equiso Smart TV Pro Rewards
Included 1gb of ram
$250,000 Wifi Direct
$450,000 Bluetooth 4.0
$750,000 16gb internal storage
Scott Thompson on
I made a $39 pledge - how do I indicate which model I would like?
Jorge Giral on
Do the stretched goals need to be met during funding period to receive the pro rewards? Th project is gaining momentum, but I am not sure it is going to reach the $250,000 goal.
julian gershwin on
got it. thanks. the wording in the $99 option is quite ambiguous, at best.
julian gershwin on
Last time I looked at this i thought i had it all figured out. But now that i have read it again i am confused, again. here is what i am confused about: the wording on the $99 reward says "Includes first four stretched goals." but not anything about "if we raise enough cash". do you mean to say " Includes first four stretched goals, if our goals are met." or " Includes first four stretched goals."? and what does this mean for $39 and $55 pledges? are they the same as the $99 pledge when it comes to what they get for their pledge?
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@Irawan Tri Kusumo. If you are part of the early birds $39 and $55 pledge, then you get the upgrade for free. If you made a $69 pledge for the original and want to upgrade to the Pro, you would add $30.
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@ZippyFund Inc. If you would like both rewards. Add the $125 to the $99 reward pledge and send an email to us stating you want both. Thanks for your support!
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@AndyLiao. The rewards are part of the Equiso Smart TV pledge of $99.
ZippyFund Inc. on
Was confusing enough that we changed our pledge from the $125 house pack to the $99 Pro...
Daniel Khor on
wow...cool. love this update.
Geof Aberhart on
Thanks for the updated version. I was about to come add my voice to the complaints, but I'm glad to see you've beaten me to the punch.
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@ Leanord. Updated Post. Hopefully all questions have been answered.
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@Leonard. Our original plan was to have early birds have the option to upgrade for $30 and still maintain their discount. Because of the confusion and to make or supporters happy, we decided to give the early birds the upgrade for free if they wanted it.
The stretched goals were setup to reward our backers for the more funds we raised. Without a large amount of funding beyond 300k, we couldn't produce a Smart TV pro with all of the features such as 1gb ram, wifi direct, BT 4.0 and 16gb HDD. That's why we didn't offer a fixed pledge because the more money we raise, the more we are able to give to supporters in the $99 pledge.
Derek C on
@Leonard Frankly I find your suggestion even more confusing thab Equiso's ever was. Giving every tier the option to add $30 for pro would essentially double the amount of tiers, doubling the confusion. Plus, early backers ALREADY get the choice of upgrading to PRO for free, why would they add $30? Although Equiso may not have worded it the best at first, I believe they have tried to right the wrong and get all information out there.
For anyone still confused about the tiers, here is the breakdown:
Pledges $39 and $55: CHOICE of Original Model (Ships August) or PRO Model with 1 GB RAM and additional rewards if goals are met (Ships October)
Pledge of $69: ORIGINAL MODEL ONLY! (Ships in August)
Pledge of $99: PRO MODEL! (1 GB RAM plus additional rewards if goals are met) (Ships in October) *Can multiply $99 by however many Smart TVs you would like to order to get more than 1 Smart TV
Pledges of $125 and $138: 2 ORIGINALS MODEL ONLY! (Ships in August)
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@Tiago. Thanks we will update post.
LBalk on
I am with most of the people on this page. This is confusing and gets more confusing with each post. You should just offer a pro version no information about a stretch reward. Have a plain and a pro version. Offer early backers a $30.00 option to upgrade to pro and be done with it.
Announcmnt should be there will be a standard and a pro version , all units will be GB, only pro version have wifi an BT 4.0 any early backer can upgrade to pro by adding $30.00 to your pledge maintain the same level of discount originally offered. The pro version will also include ( add items here) We apologize to all of our supporters for the confusion of the stretch offer we should have made it easier to begin with. We want to give each of you the option to upgrade to the pro version at your original $14.00 saving on the standard award leve. Those of you that wish to remain at the original level we appreicate your loyalty just as much, we will try to give each of you a 1GB unit with out all the added software. You can change your pledge any time until we close on our KS offfer.
I am certain I missed a few items and some will not agree with me but this would be simplier and be less confusing. To be frank about this i have considered pulling my pledge seems like I will end up with an entry level product.
Tiago Freitas on
Also some people don't realize they can change their pledge at any time, so you can also make that clear, as I've seen in other kickstarter projects, that is not a well known fact. Some 69$ backers may not realize they can make the change.
Tiago Freitas on
I suggest you put something like Derek's summary in the main page and update, it's very clear.
Being clear in a kickstarter campaign is more important than on the mainstream market where unclear marketing reigns.
Thanks for this update.
The 69$ pledge remains the best value balance. You might want to also make clear the practical capabilities of each model, so people know that the 512MB base model is enough for most people's needs, and the 1GB does not change the main experience (multimedia and most games).

@MAH Post updated
Morgan Lake on
@zippy assuming you mean Infinitec's project, I think you may have read their update on BT wrong. They are not including BT in this release nor are they making anymore hardware changes from here out. They _are_ going to include BT compatibility support for BT PnP dongles/devices.
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@Zippyfund. Bluetooth is available for the $39, $55 and $99 when the goal is met.
Derek C on
I think I will give a go at summing up all reward tiers (from my understanding) into one post. Here it goes...
Pledges $39 and $55: CHOICE of Original Model (Ships August) or PRO Model with 1 GB RAM and additional rewards if goals are met (Ships October)
Pledge of $69: ORIGINAL MODEL ONLY! (Ships in August)
Pledge of $99: PRO MODEL! (1 GB RAM plus additional rewards if goals are met) (Ships in October) *Can multiply $99 by however many Smart TVs you would like to order to get more than 1 Smart TV
Pledges of $125 and $138: 2 ORIGINALS MODEL ONLY! (Ships in August)
I hope this helps anyone that is still confused. :)
ZippyFund Inc. on
OK, what about us who selected $125 for two units? Would also suggest considering including bluetooth within the reward as the competing provides this as standard.
Robert Silesius on
Greats updates and great response to the feedback. Now all I have to decide is if I want to wait 2 months for 1gb or not... decisions, decisions... :)
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@CK LAM. Early birds have the option to choose Pro or Original. if they choose Original then shipment date remains August, if they choose the free upgrades and go Pro then shipment date will be October.
J Rey on
@Equiso, I am answering myself, but reading the comments section I see that early-birds will have the option to choose the plain or the PRO version on the day the project gets funded (July-28). Maybe write a bit more about the stretch goal in the pledge descriptions so that people know that the PRO version will include the 1GB, but will only include other features if higher levels are reached. It will also help to point out (even though it is there in the small print below) that delivery for the PRO version is October and not August; sometimes people miss the small gray letters bellow. I do think it is a fair challenge. I am also glad to have read that you have the August (not-pro) version very well defined and you are just waiting to push the send button on the manufacturing. I do agree also that changes to the specifications mean that you will have to test before you start manufacturing. Thanks!
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@J Rey. Yes you are part of the stretch goal.
jeff adams on
1gb included? That deserves it's own project update :)
David Elliott on
Well, OK. I had pledged $125 to get 2, but now I'll adjust that down to $99 and hope that I can buy a second unit when you are done.
J Rey on
@Equiso. I was part of the $55 pledge. If I read correctly your update, I don't have to add any $ amount because I am already part of the stretch pledge, right?
According to Kicktraq, you are trending towards $200K which is 200% of your original goal; that means that the 1gb-RAM is guaranteed, but not the others, unless the trend changes (which it usually does -for the better- after we hit the original goal).
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
Backers. Sorry for the confusion. We took the risk out. Why should our backers be stuck with the risk. Thanks for pointing that out. Included is 1gb of ram.
Sandra on
Just to be clear: there is no risk of over-pledging! If the stretch goals aren't reached you just hit the big green manage my pledge button on the final day of this project and lower the amount (and obviously select the lower reward). Also works the other way around, i.e. If you have selected the 69$ level and goals are being reached you can allways adjust your pledge and select the 99$ reward. No risks whatsoever!
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
POST UPDATED! We definitely don't want to put our supporters in that predicament. Thanks for your continued feedback. its great to know what our supporters want.
CK on
@Equiso. I understand that but as a consumer, they may consider the following possibilities.
1) Pay extra $30 to get smart tv compare to 69.
2) Pay extra $30 for 1GB ram upgrade only compare to 69.
3) Get wifi direct and so on.
I mean the backers have to bare that risk and this is not very encouraging. I think offering 1gb ram for backers(99) will at least encourage them to pledge at this level, so at least minimizing the risk of paying extra $30 for nothing.
One more thing, why the delivery date for this level (99) is Oct?
Morgan Lake on
I think one of the main problems you're having here is that the Smart TV Pro ($99) is in fact the same product as the Smart TV ($69) _Unless_ you hit your first "Strech Goal" at $150K.
That means it's a $30 gamble to start. The Smart TV Pro _needs_ to be functionally better in some way at the off or there isn't any real incentive to pledge at that level until you reach 150K. Otherwise, I can't really see many people bothering with it as a pledge to begin with.
As a Early Bird I'm not impacted in the least, I'm getting a Pro version if you hit 150K, or the normal version I originally expected if you don't reach 150K; however, it does affect everyone else. You're current structuring won't help you achieve your funding goal. Funding is what you really want. Right?
Sarang Shah on
As an early backer of the $55 pledge, I appreciate the confirmation that the $39 and $55 pledges would receive the appropriate upgrades (i.e. Smart TV Pro) depending on which stretch goals are met.
Would appreciate one more clarification - If the stretch goals are met, can these early birds still expect to get delivery of the Smart TV Pro with the appropriate upgraded features by August 2012?
Just want to get clarification since all pledges EXCEPT the new $99 pledge for Smart TV Pro introduced today have an estimated delivery of Aug 2012 whereas the new $99 pledge has an estimated delivery of Oct 2012? So am not sure if the Smart TV Pro's would be manufactured in time for early birds for August delivery.
Thank you!
Fergal Butler on
Thanks for the speedy clarification on the update. It now makes a lot more sense.
Equiso Smart TV Creator on
@CK LAM. While in the beginning it may seem that way, the $99 pledge is also a very rewarding pledge.
julian gershwin on
@Equsio Could you PLEASE make this less confusing?!?! Every time i read another post from you I understand something different? Please pick one of these, or try to explain better:
1) $39, 55, and 99 get: Smart TV PRO with RAM, WIFI, BT4, and MEM. As long as $100k funding is successful. $69 gets: RAM, WIFI, BT4, and MEM, ONLY if the the associated stretch goals are met.
2) $39, 55, and 99 get: Smart TV PRO with RAM, WIFI, BT4, and MEM. ONLY if the the associated stretch goals are met. $69 gets: Smart TV with nothing added if stretch goals are met.

Everest doesn't look that impressive from the top. Tibet IS the better place for that :)
teddycricket83 - Aug 9, 2015 2:19 amup and down up and down
Climbed it around noon when I arrived to base camp b/c it was clear and I wanted to make sure I saw everest. Came down for some food and then went back up to watch the amazing sunset and have a couple very ice cold Everest beers. Then climbed it in the dark in the morning to see the sunrise. Couldn't get enough of the views
mdou - Dec 15, 2014 3:57 pm Date Climbed: Mar 20, 2013Beat the crowds
I took the bus from Kathmandu to Jiri then walked to Everest Base Camp. Arriving with good acclimatization meant I was able to beat other trekkers on the way up and had Kala Pataar all to myself for a decent amount of time. The weather was great in March: clear skies in the morning and cumulonimbus later on. Not crowded at all outside of the main corridor. I was most often alone on the passes and side trips. Same goes for AC & ABC in April.

Absolutely stunning views from the summit. A must when making a trekking in the Khumbu region.
seabadge - Jun 16, 2013 1:36 pm Date Climbed: Mar 15, 2013Late start, better views
Left around 6-7AM, and heard from the early risers that our late start was the better choice. Any earlier and Everest would have been a silhouette, and the air biterly cold. Sun came out 1/3 of the way up, and we were stripping layers quickly. After a faint spell due to climbing too quickly, we slowed down and the rest felt like a breeze. Scrambled to the tip of the summit block, per gimpilator's persistence. Incredible views, specifically of Pumori. A small bird sang to us from the top!
gimpilator - Mar 21, 2013 6:18 am Date Climbed: Mar 15, 2013Small Hill with Amazing Scenery
This little hill has amazing summit views. It might be the most impressive viewpoint I have ever seen. It took Natasha 9 days to reach from Lukla after a stomach illness delayed us for several days.
Scott - Feb 12, 2013 10:04 am Date Climbed: Dec 24, 2012Kala Pattar
Today was quite eventful and in some ways a little scary.
Because of the cold, I didn't want to get up early and thought that we should wait until later for warmer weather and better lighting conditions for photos.
All went well except for one scary moment when the Sherpa got altitude sickness. When we climbed Kala Pattar, it was -19F/-18C and fairly windy. I wanted to sleep in until it got warmer, but the Sherpa wanted to climb early in the morning. Because it was so cold and the sunlight was beckoning up higher, Kessler and I hurried very quickly 16,995 feet/5180 meters to 18,373 feet/5600 meters making the 1400 feet/420 meter climb in an hour, which is much faster than normal. Since we had no idea that the Sherpa was feeling altitude sick, we climbed both little peaks around Kala Pattar.
The Sherpa got sick trying to keep up, but we didn't know that he was sick until we got down and he couldn't walk well. He wouldn't admit that he was altitude sick, but we and others could tell. It was apparently a matter of pride that he couldn't keep up with Kessler and the Sherpa people have a hard time admitting to altitude sickness, so we had no idea (he was apparently a well known climbing Sherpa whom had been to Everest several times as a porter, which made it harder to admit sickness).
We were supposed to head back to Lobuche and climb the Lobuche Pinnacles today, and cross the Cho La the next day, but since the Sherpa got sick we descended quickly to Periche and divided the load between the other porter and myself.
We got the Sherpa back down to a lower elevation and after taking Diamox, he was OK again and was back to normal and going strong. We were very glad everything worked out well. I would have felt really guilty if anything had went wrong. The altitude sickness never was life threatening, but it was scary since it was very difficult to try and talk the Sherpa into descending.
Other than that scary incident everything ran perfectly. It was cold, but we had clear and cold skies the whole time. It was so spectacular and I took many photos so far. So far, the people in the mountains were really nice and the mountains were great.
Focusing on the good part, Kessler beat his altitude record set on Chhukhung Ri, but only barely. The Sherpa felt bad that we had to change our plans, but we assured him that we were fine with the change of plans and wouldn't mention him by name. We gave him part of his tip early to show that we weren't upset at all.
Juanneman - Jun 5, 2012 3:58 pm Date Climbed: Oct 10, 20052005
Trekking from Jiri to Kala pataar + EBC back to lukla in 17 days...
ncst - Apr 25, 2012 11:32 am Date Climbed: Apr 6, 2012Beautiful sunset
I had spent the day at EBC and then went for sunset on Kala Pattar because the morning had been very cloudy; I rushed up in an hour from Gorak Shep to the summit just in time for beautiful views.
Kicki - Oct 9, 2011 4:32 pm Date Climbed: Mar 14, 2011Cloudy again!
Second time on Kala Pathar and it was cloudy again...next time I must wake up earlier so I can get a view of Everest! This time I struggled to get up, so I was very happy when I finally reached the summit. I even made a phonecall to Sweden from the summit! :)

Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site of Canada is an archaeological site that contains the remains of several early 19th-century fur trade forts known as Rocky Mountain House. It is located on the North Saskatchewan River at Brierly Rapids, which was historically an obstacle to navigation. The designation refers to the remains of trading establishments built and occupied between 1799 and 1875 on the west bank of the North Saskatchewan River above its confluence with the Clearwater River together with an associated burying ground.
For a more detailed description of Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site follow this link to Canada's Historic Places
The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown.

VoLTE Webinars & Videos
Rohde & Schwarz presented enhanced voice services (EVS) codec support with SWB bandwidths for high-quality VoLTE calls at the GSMA Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona.
This webinar presents the technical background to VoLTE (based on IMS) and explains how to measure voice quality in live networks. It also illustrates the impact of radio conditions and IP impairments (e.g. jitter or audio delay) to audio quality.
This webinar provides field engineers with a practical overview of the most important issues in the testing and troubleshooting of VoLTE networks. Real-world examples taken from live networks will be used to provide practical advice for testing and troubleshooting VoLTE in the field.
The new test solution is based on the R&S®CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and the R&S®UPV audio analyzer which allows signaling and audio quality tests for VoLTE.
For VoLTE testing, Rohde & Schwarz presented a new solution that simultaneously verifies voice quality and analyzes how a VoLTE connection affects the lifetime of smartphone batteries at the GSMA Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona.
Demonstration of signaling and audio quality tests for VoLTE at GSMA MWC 2012.
Rohde & Schwarz presented the verification of the handover of a VoLTE voice channel from LTE to WCDMA in line with the single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) standard at GSMA MWC 2012.

If achieving victory in the inaugural event at a new athletic facility is a good omen for a school, then last Friday's developments at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy bode well for the Blue Devils.
The girls tennis team christened their new seven-court home venue with a match against New Jersey's Stuart Country Day School, and in the three singles and two doubles bouts in play, SCH dropped nary a match, prevailing in straight sets all down the line to win 5-0.
"It's my third year coaching the team, but it sort of feels like my first since we're getting to play on our brand new courts," said head coach Ashley Vandegrift, a math teacher at SCH and a 1992 graduate of the old Springside School.
The Blue Devils' performance in last week's opener was also encouraging because of the fact that graduation ceremonies last June took away three of the top four racquetwomen from the 2012 tennis team ladder.
The third singles and first doubles players for Springside Chestnut Hill were the first to wrap up their matches against Stuart Country Day in the 2013 opener. Number three Aakansha Sharma, a tenth-grader, breezed through at 6-2, 6-0, and at first doubles a 6-1, 6-3 victory was recorded by Blue Devils senior Natalie Rohner and her sophomore partner, Frederica Cristofanilli.
Although all of the bouts were two-set affairs, there were many long points and overall the competition ran late into the afternoon. Next to finish were the second doubles duos, and here SCH junior Sara Mathes and senior Hannah Brazier bagged a 6-1, 6-2 win.
At first singles, the host team's Rosie Nagele went to 7-5 to capture the opening set. The steady senior was at her best when simply focusing on putting the ball back over the net and wearing down her rival. Her first serve started clicking during the second set, and here she won by a convincing 6-3 score.
Match point occurred around quarter-to-six, right at the same time that the second singles match concluded on an adjacent court. Blue Devils number two Sarah Schacht is also a senior, and she helped complete the SCH sweep by winning 6-2, 6-3.
After playing George School, SCH will have a match this Thursday against Germantown Friends, a 5-2 winner over neighboring Penn Charter last week.
Five days after hosting GFS, the Blue Devils open up in the Inter-Ac by taking on longtime league powerhouse Episcopal Academy.
In league encounters, where a three-singles, four doubles format is followed, Coach Vandegrift will start out with senior Sydney Weiss and freshman Victoria Walters at third doubles, and freshman Melanie Graves and senior Corrine Leard in the fourth pairing.

I've been re-evaluating my shield-wall tactics in medieval battles and began thinking about minifig tower shields, like the ones that debuted in KK or the following from Brick Warriors:
My question is this. According to the rulebook, minifigs and MOC's have cover based on how much of the target you can see. If an enemy with a ranged weapon shoots at a minifig whose torso and legs are completely covered by the tower shield, does this confer 2/3 cover? This question also comes from a brief comment in Chapter 5 of the rules
Based on this wording, a tower shield--separate equipment--would not be considered a visible section of the minifig, and possibly provide cover.Rather than trying to estimate how many studs' worth of any given minifig is visible, minifigs are divided into three main sections - the head (including helmet, hat, or hair), the torso (including arms, backpacks, and armor, but not carried equipment), and the legs. If the attacker can see any part of one of these sections, however small, then the section is considered visible.

For me my 20oz Estwing claw hammer, nothing special about this hammer and it can still be bought today and looks exactly the same with its blue handle although over the years the handle has turned a dark green. But when I bought this hammer I was 16 and just starting out as an apprentice carpenter on site, it cost me nearly a weeks wages and my boss at the time said buy the best tools you can afford and they will last a life time, I've had it now for nearly 34 years and apart from one not so nice hand plane that got superseded my hammer is the only original tool from when I first started out, It goes everywhere with me and I've mislaid it numerous times over the years but always managed to find it again, so I guess it just reminds me of starting out.
First boss in construction told me to get a tool belt, hammer, utility knife, and tape measure.I was renting a house and the only thing in the whole house was a hammer in the kitchen drawer. Plumb fiberglass finish hammer. That was in 1985 and I still use it everyday. It pretty much looks exactly the same now as then. Lost it once but found it under an ( installed) cabinet after an hour of head scratching. When I lose it I'll retire!!

Hey Federico, wanna get out and hit Friday or this weekend in Petaluma? Casa G Friday or maybe Leghorns or CG Saturday? I am probably 3.5+-4.0. -L
I'd be down for weekends. My only problem is that I don't have a car, so I can only play in Rohnert Park. There are some great courts here, so if you don't mind driving a little I'd be more than happy to play.
Hey Federico, Im up for hitting on weekends (or even weekdays if you have time) in San Mateo/Burlingame. Lemme know what works for you.

MMWR Looks at Increase in HIV Cases, Risk Factors Among MSM in Jackson, Miss.
February 6, 2009
A survey of 29 black men who have sex with men in Jackson, Miss., identified some common behaviors that place them at a risk of contracting HIV, according to a study published Friday in CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Reuters Health reports. The risk factors include unprotected anal intercourse, sex with men who were older, and not seeking annual HIV tests. According to Reuters, CDC released the report to coincide with National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, which will take place Feb. 7 (Reuters Health, 2/5).
The study is available online.

Computer science concentration offered
by JoAnn Watkins
The Campus Coordinator
for 1983-84 will be Mary
Schwab. Working with
Schwab in planning next
year's activities will be a five-member
committee: Sharon
Hunt, music and programs;
Cheryl Hanson and John Grif-fith,
special events; Kirk Stens-rud,
business and finance; and
Kris Davis, publicity.
Schwab, a junior business
administration major, served
on the Campus Coordinator
(CC) committee this year as
music and program chair.
"We want to spread the ac-tivities
out more and we also
want to create enthusiasm in
the residences," said Schwab.
She said they plan to build
their activities around other
activities, "making thein more
into events." She plans to have
two films each month and
three concerts during the se-mester.

year," she said, Schwab said.

Starting this fall, Bethel is
offering students a new corn-puter
science concentration.
"Student demand is the major
factor for implementing the
program," said Jim Holmes,
professor of math and corn-puter
science. Construction of
an informal program began
two years ago in response to
student requests, but was not
started until- the fall of 1983
due to the unavailability of
The concentration follows
the Association of Computer
Machinery's recommended
curriculum. The program re-quires
14 courses, four of
which are math.
Two parts comprise the
concentration. One is the ac-tual
computer science pro-gram,
the other an emphasis
in Management Information
Systems (MIS).
Three parallel objectives
guide the computer science
program. The first is to pre-pare
the student to enter into
the work force with a bache-lor's
degree in scientific corn-petition
between the resi-dences.
Schwab said she-would like
to see the committee as a
group presented more. Sub-puting.
The second is to pre-pare
students to enter a grad-uate
program and third, to
train students to use the com-puter
as a decision tool, often
termed "modeling."
The emphasis in MIS,
planned for 1984, includes
computer courses applied to
business and will carry cross-credit
towards the business
"You don't have to be a
math major to take the con-centration,
but should have
good quantitative skills,"
Holmes said. "The computer
science concentration reflects

Although an increased en-rollment
in the computer
classes will occur, additional
terminals are not being pur-chased.
According to Holmes,
a computer revolution is about
to occur which will make
smaller computers available

to 150 times more capable
than the ones Bethel has now.

will be added to increase the

The goals of the week are to

to inspire Christian responsi-bility
to the local community.
"I'm hoping students will take
this opportunity to sensitize
themselves to community

this year.
Debi Foss spent last semester

The program is sponsored
by Heidelberg College (Tiffin,
Ohio) in affiliation with The
University of Heidelberg,
West Germany. Founded in
1958, it is the second oldest
program of its kind in Ger-many.
The program provides an
opportunity for qualified Am-erican
students to take classes
in German and other subject
areas. Programs offered and
duration of study are designed
to fit the divergent needs of
each student.
The University of Heidel-berg
(Germany) is the oldest
university in Germany, and
has an enrollMent of about
22,000. About 10 percent of
its enrollment is made up of
international students. Today
the university is recognized
as one of Germany's leading
centers of higher education.

Should we salute flag
of a narrow government?
Please look beyond the U.S. flag to the oppressed south,
so talked of recently with the seminars on Central America.
It is there the Salvadorian government respects our flag, but
at the same time murders and oppresses. And it is also there
a Communist Nicaragua government defies our flag, but at
the same time realizes political and economic reform, most
unlike their non-Communist predecessors. Meanwhile, our
country sends military aid by the millions to the oppressors
and attacks the reformers.
Our two concerns in the region seem to be to further our
wealth by keeping the status quo, and ending Communism
with guns. Does our government have any further concerns?
Please look back at our flag, see the rocket's red glare, the
bombs bursting in air, and remember to remove your hat in

Cooperative Ed. provides areas of study
by Neal Bernards
Bethel's cooperative educa-tion
program affords students
an opportunity to combine
academics with an off-campus
job in an area of their interest.
Henry Allen, instructor in
general studies, directs this
program in its second year of
a three-year pilot proposal.
"Coopefative education was
originally written with a two-year
pilot proposal, but it was
extended a year," said Allen.
"It will be reviewed in the
spring of 1984. Faculty must
give it full ratification for it to
become a permanent course."
Six students participated
in the program last year and
four are currently enrolled
this semester. "Only five to
ten students per semester are
accepted. These need to be
high-quality people to make
the program a success," said
Allen. "Applying students
should be at least juniors with
a GPA of 2.5 or above. We
must screen students careful-ly
until cooperative education
becomes part of the curric-ulum."
Accepted students meet
with their academic advisors
and employers to set down
specific objectives and related
course work. Equal time must
be , given to cooperative edu-cation
as to a normal college
course. Most students take
three other classes while in
the program.
"It takes a great deal of
effort on the student's part to
come up with a schedule that
will be approved," said Allen.
by Neal Bernards
Students hear a lot about
gospel teams at the beginning
of the year, but what happens
as the year wears on? They
provide a service ministry by
performing concerts in local
and outstate churches.
Though all Gospel Team
members volunteer their time,
there is never a shortage of
singers at auditions. This year
75 students tried out for 45
,positions. Why do so many
want to work for nothing?
"Most members like to per-form
and this gives them a
sense of ministry," said John
Bird, musical director for the
group Living Sacrifice. "It's a
good chance to witness to
others in a group situation
and have fun doing it," added
bassist Mark Kirgiss.
"The advisor, employer, and
student must work well to-gether."
"Cooperative education dif-fers
from internships because
it is not a culminating expe-rience.
It can be in your major,
minor, or just an area of inter-est,"
said Allen. "In an intern-ship
the student is plugged
into a position, while in coop-erative
education that person
creates an area of study."
Students are paid accord-ing
to the employer's wishes.
Normally, at least the stu-dent's
expenses are met.
Bethel students have
worked with Pillsbury, Gen-
All of the seven Gospel
Teams have piano accompan-iment,
and two have back-ground
musicians to supple-ment
the vocals. One of these
groups, Living Sacrifice, has
had an active year perform-ing
nine concerts. Its members
are Bird, Kirgiss, Lisa Poppen,
Brenda Humphrey, Barb Fern-lund,
Brian Houts, Dan Gol-den,
Dan Eckert, Amy Potter,
and John Turner.
Living Sacrifice not only
sings, but interacts with the
audience before and after the
concert. "We usually mingle a
bit," said Kirgiss, "It's a fun
way to meet people." During
this socializing, however,
Bethel is rarely mentioned.

of writers in the Mounds View
school district.
"It was one of the better
classes I took last year," said
Zdrazil. "It's not all sitting
around taking notes like other
classes. It's a lab education."
Allen hopes for an improve-ment
in the economy so em-ployers
will be more willing
to take on interns. "It could be
good for next fall," said Allen.

"But shore is nine and a half miles away," stated a second

Turn out lights, energy party is over
by Mike Doran
Dave Anderson wrote a let-ter
describing his electricity-saving
proposal for Bethel to
Don Evans, vice president for
business affairs, in hopes that
his efforts would prove him
worthy of a reward. He did
not get any money, but he
"also did it to make a point."
And he did.
Anderson, a student, does
not work for the school. He
simply keeps an eye out for
unneeded lights turned on
throughout the campus, and
turns them off.
"I often find the lights on in
the Solarium (north end of the
coffee shop and Student Cen-ter),
both the fluorescent and
the rail lights, during the mid-dle
of a bright day. We don't
need them on then, so I turn
them off." he said. He calcu-lated
he saved, using a con-servative
estimate, a total of
"Anderson has been on a
campaign to save electricity
for three years now," said Jim
Woods, director of the physi-cal
plant department. Woods
himself is a conserver, both
through his activites on his
job and through a publicity
Campaign aimed at the Bethel
community. Last November
he sent out flyers entitled
HELP, or Have Electric Lights
Put-out. He is also responsi-ble
for changing 1,000 bulbs
for a new style which will
save the school $5,600.
"I don't think people realize
how much they can save by
turning lights out." said
Woods. We have 7,000 fluor-escent
tubes, 35 watts each,
or about 250,000 of connected

for Bethel.
load. We pay about 4.5 cents
per kilowatt hour. The tubes
stay on about 16 hours a day.
It comes to over $225 to run
those lights per day. Forty per
cent of our electricity bill goes
to pay for lights," he said. The
total electricity bill is about a
quarter of a million dollars
per year for Bethel.
"We need cooperation in
helping to turn out the lights;
students can also help by re-porting
lights which seem
habitually left on so we can
do something about them,"
Woods said. Some of the lights
are run by timers, which
sometimes malfunction and
they can be on in the middle
of the day.
Anderson has also been
working to get Bethelites to
conserve, which has proved
to be a difficult task. "I don't
know how to tell- people tact-fully
to turn lights off. People
don't like to be told what to
do," he said. But he delivers
his message anyway: "We
should use the energy we have
wisely. If you don't need to
use a light, turn it off, or never
turn it on in the first place.
The general rule of thumb is
that if they are on less than
five minutes, it would be bet-ter
to leave them on. So if
you're leaving your room for a
minute, keep the light on. But
if you plan to leave longer
than five minutes, turn it off;
you'll save electricity," he
Anderson suggested anoth-er
idea towards conserving
electricity; he suggested put-ting
signs on the expensive
lights to show how much it
costs to run the switch on.
Woods talked aboutthe new
energy-saving computer for
the heating and air-condition-ing
system for the school and
living areas. It cost $35,000 to
install, and promises to pay
for itself in two years.
Even the computer, how-ever,
cannot stop the energy
wasted in living units when
windows are left open and
heaters left on—a common
practice during spring.
An unoccupied room with its lights on, an example of energy waste,
invites the conservation conscious Bethelite to action.

This is the actual letter Dave Anderson wrote to Don Evans.
by Mike Doran
"In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with
God and the Word was God."
(In. 1:1). And with God's gift
of words great writers have
composed the great lines often
quoted and recalled.
There are lines like John
Donne's: "No man is an Illand,
intire of it selfe; every man is
a peece of the Continent, a
part of the maine; if Clod bee
washed away by the sea,
Europe is the lesse, as well as
if Promontorie were, as well
as if Manner of thy friends or
thine own were; any man's
death diminishes me, because
I am involved in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to
know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee."
Several Bethelites recalled
further favored lines.
Mitch Anderson likes,
among other lines, this one
from Shakespeare's As You
Like It: "All the world's stage/
And all the men and women
merely players."
Mark Levitt likes the last
line of Charles Dickens' Tale
of Two Cities, spoken by the
character Sydney Carton be-fore
dying at the guillotine: "It
is a far, far better rest that I go
to, than I have ever known."
Jim Thompson likes Des-carte's
axiom: "I think, there-fore
I am."
As long as the lines are phil-osophical,
Steve Van Sickle
likes Locke's definition of sub-stance:
"Something, we know
not what."
Matt Johnson likes the line
from Jonathon Cook's poem
Ode to the Hills: "With day
the fog rose to clouds o'er his
hill;/on top the old seer sat
crossed legg'd and still;/
Thought he, I know nothing,

Carol Carlson also likes a
line from the Bible, which
happens to be the shortest:
"Jesus wept."
Jerry Adamson likes a line
from Thoreau's Walden: "It is
not necessary that man earn
his living by the sweat of his

than I do."
Peter Thomas likes the lines
from Antome Exupery's The
Little Prince: "I have lived 4
great deal among grown ups.

For the past five weeks,
students at Bethel have had a
new shuttle system at their
disposal. This bus service
takes students from the cam-pus
to Rosedale and Har Mar
shopping centers. The service
has been running seven days
a week since Feb. 7. There are
four runs each weekday and
three runs on Sunday.
According to Paul Drake,
director of auxiliary services,
the use of the service has
declined since it began early
in February. "I think the rea-son
students are not using the
system is because they don't
want to be bound by a sche-dule,"
said Drake.
The average number of peo-ple
using the system has been
about 134 people per week.
At least 175 people per week
average are needed for the
system to break even, said
The system is presently
subsidized by the busing bud-get.
But 'according to Drake,
the budget cannot continue to
support the system. "It must
become self-supportive," said
"We'll have to wait until the
semester is over before we
decide whether to keep the
system," said Drake. "The de-cison
will probably be made
this summer. If the system
picks up, we'll keep it."

Tennis teams begin season events
by John Lilleberg
Simply stated, the men's
tennis team is involved in a
rebuilding year. With the top
nine players gone from last
year's team, new head coach
Bill Henderson is left with a
team made up almost entirely
of sophomores and freshmen.
The team's inexperience
showed in the first match, an
8-1 loss to Macalester. How-ever,
the players also showed
a good deal of potential by
giving Macalester a number
of tough matches. Bethel's on-ly
win came from number-four
singles player Tom Mills.
Mark Stewart, the only let-terman
left from last year's
team, summed up the match:
"Everybody did all right for
the first match. The Tartan
courts (a very fast surface)
goofed us up since we're used
to practicing on clay. I think
we can beat them outside on
our courts."

After a disappointing sea-son
last year, the women's
tennis team is attempting to
turn things around. So far
this redemption process is go-ing
quite well, as evidenced
by a win over Hamline and a
respectable showing against
St. Thomas.
Against the Pipers, the
Royals' experience at the top
of the lineup proved a major
factor with wins coming from
the top four singles players:
Kathy Lee, Sarah Runion, Lisa
Iverson and Sharon Johnson.
In doubles, the number-one
and -two teams (Lee—Runion
and Iverson—Johnson) won,
giving the Royals the 6-3 vic-tory.
According to number-one
singles player Lee, "We
were real happy with the out-come.
It was close—Sarah and
handled it real well."
"You can't give people self-discipline;
what I've tried to
do is give a model of self-discipline

Eachern said, "Well, right

Does he have any plans
beyond that? "Oh, I'll be

Under Defeat HD vs. Chopper 2: Console to Mobile Matchup
Remember those old helicopter games of the past? The ones that had you blasting the ever-loving-hell out of anything and everything between you and your goal in a festival of flickering pixels? Well, they're back on both home and mobile consoles and we're here to give you a mission brief on which game should be cleared for monetary liftoff from your wallet.
Under Defeat 2 was a somewhat controversial game that came out on the SEGA Dreamcast. Remember that delightful little console? Anyway, the game raised a stir with its alternate reality World War II setting where you play as the German speaking "Empire" battling the English tongued "Union." The uniforms are eerily reminiscent of reality and the naval warships in level 2 look more than similar to the Japanese Imperial Navy. Regardless of controversy, the game, being billed as the last Dreamcast game, sold well enough to warrant a pretty little console remake for the current generation of systems. The powerful Xbox and PS3 hardware makes Under Defeat HD look better than your nostalgia addled brain even remembers. Plus, the game has some fantastic anime styling to it, which dishes up some drama to the shoot-em-up explosion-fest.
Chopper 2 is the sequel to the iOS classic and features similarly scrolling gameplay. This game is a bit different from its remade-retro brother. It is a bit more simplistic in presentation, aiming for a more focused feel rather than the pandemonium that comes from your usual arcade game. It requires a bit more precision when placing your aim with your artillery. It is less of a pray and spray game and more of an exercise in tactical striking.
Both games have more than adequate graphics. Under Defeat 2 captures the bombastic arcade style of insanity with ordinance and glowing debris flying every which way. Chopper 2 instead features a much more simple aesthetic. It is reminiscent of more minimalist games, and your eyes are not starved for visual nuggets of beauty. Even though it might look simple, the graphical fidelity is enough to power your biggest screen TVs. Chopper 2 features the ability to hook up to your TV and play in glorious HD.
While the gameplay for both titles may seem similar, they differ in very profound ways. Under Defeat HD locks you into an ever moving vertical shooter where you have to bounce back and forth, Galaga-style, spraying as much fire as you can in the hopes of destroying everything in your path. You even get devastating bombs that allow you to vaporize any enemies that might be lingering on your screen. It's so satisfying watching them light up like a Christmas tree, leaving your path free and clear.
Chopper 2 is much less about spraying your weapon willy nilly and more about precise strikes against your enemy. The side scrolling design is much more freeform and lets you swing back and forth to flank some stubborn bunker. Being able to backtrack is a huge advantage when going for that all important high score.
If you're looking for helicopter action, these two are your best bets. They each excel where the other fails and both really deliver helicopter action in their own unique way. Here is an instance where you might consider grabbing a copy of both. While you're at home, blast away at some Allied, we mean "Union," forces on your PS3, and when you're out and about, fire up the blades of Chopper 2 on your iOS device. Neither will disappoint and both will keep your fun levels hovering high in the stratosphere.

Distracted, not drunk, drugged or aggressive drivers are the biggest cause of concern for motorists, according to a survey conducted by AAA.
According to a study released by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety this week, distracted driving has reached the top of the list of growing dangers on local roadways, surpassing aggressive or impaired drivers.
The study states that 88 percent of drivers contend that distracted driving is on the rise, a 30 percent increase in just five years. The release of the report comes as several local law enforcement agencies announce their intentions to ramp up distracted driving enforcement details in April, which has been designated as "Distracted Driving Awareness Month."
In the study, 49 percent of those surveyed reported that they've talked on cellphones while driving, and 35 percent admitted that they've sent a text or email, "even though most believe it's wrong to do while driving." The survey also found that "nine out of 10 drivers nationwide reflect a 'do-as-I-say, not-as-I-do' attitude" in regards to cellphone use while driving.
According to police officials, the latest "statistics show motor vehicle fatalities are up 6 percent from 2015. More than 40,000 people were killed on our nation's roadways last year, and distracted driving is a major contributor." One in every four accidents in the nation are caused by texting and driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
It is estimated that nearly 700,000 people use a cellphone while driving in America each day. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, a crash is four times as likely if a driver is distracted, whether it's on a hands-free device or not.
"Distracted driving is a real problem," Stratford Police Capt. Frank Eannotti said. "During this enforcement period, officers will be ticketing anyone who is texting or on their phone while behind the wheel. The bottom line is if you text and drive, you will pay."
"Nobody likes getting a ticket, but the safety of our residents, pedestrians, and other drivers is top priority. Cell phones and other electronic devices contribute to driver distraction and inattention," Yonkers police officials stated. "Pay attention to the road and other drivers, not your phone. That text message is not more important than your life or anyone else's, it can wait."
To keep motorists safe, AAA released a handful of tips to help avoid distracted driving:
- Put aside electronic distractions and refrain from using text messaging, email, video games or internet functions, including those built into the vehicle, while driving.
- Pre-program your GPS; adjust seats, mirrors, climate controls and sound systems before driving.
- Properly secure children and pets; and store loose possessions and other items that could roll around in the car.
