as the main speaker will be
Dr. Eric Frykenberg, a veteran
missionary associated with the
Conservative Baptist foreign mis-sion
Dr. Frykenberg, a graduate of
Bethel seminary, went to the mis-sion
field in India in the late
1920's, serving both in South India
and in Bombay. At present, he is
missionary-at-large for the Con-servative
Baptists, visiting all
their missionary fields. In this
capacity, he has recently completed
a trip around the world.

Luckman, and Miss Marjorie Malm
from Ethiopia; Rev. James Patter-son,
Japan, and Miss Grace Swan-son,
Aspiring missionary candidates

the principal of a school in Johan-nesburg,
South Africa. He will de-scribe
his work and the opportuni-ties
for service in educational mis-sions.
The WMF prayer bands will be-gin
their meetings this semester.
According to Bob Lenz, vice presi-dent,

and aiding the students in finding
God's will for their lives.
Mr. Lenz encourages all stu-dents
to participate in these meet-ings
which are held in specified
rooms in the college building, as

will be Saturday, Nov. 14. Tra-ditionally,
Nikolenas Dag gives
campus women an opportunity to
treat their dates to dinner and
an evening of entertainment.
The program, a musical, will be
at 9 p.m. At the time of publica-tion
the place is not definite.
Various phases of Nik Dag acti-vity
will be portrayed through
scenes in Sweden, Hawaii, and
tist in Minneapolis and former
executive secretary; Rev. Franklin
Nelson, acting executive secre-tary;
professor Gordon Johnson,
seminary instructor and chairman
of the board; and Rev. Albert
Bergfalk, associate secretary of
the board.
Program plans call for Dr. Fry-kenberg
to speak each morning in
the chapel, which will be held in
the fieldhouse. Also part of the
morning chapels will be brief pre-sentations
by Conference mission-aries
when they will answer spe-cific
questions relevant to mission-ary
work, such as qualifications,
adjustments to the field, and edu-cational
preparation. During the
evening chapel services from 7-8,
Conference missionaries will pre-sent
the various fields through
messages and pictures. Some of
the personnel for the week will be
utilized by various instructors as
class lecturers.
Spearheading plans for the week
is the Spiritual Life committee,
composed of faculty members ap-pointed
by the president and head-ed
by Dr. Virgil Olson. Coopera-tion
is being given by the World
Mission fellowship which is in
charge of choosing a theme, set-ting
up displays, and encouraging
a missionary prayer program.

the cost of bowling shoes.
The film, "Beaver Valley," will
be shown in the banquet room. The
movie, as well as some games will
be under the supervision of the
Recreational Leadership class.
Due to the limited capacity of
the pool, those attending will be

Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, November 5, 1959
Bethel is Host to State
L Association of Colleges
Campus 'Golden Mean'
Last weekend the Bethel Student association
was represented at the fall assembly of the Min-nesota-
Dakotas region of the United States Na-tional
Student association, which was held at the
College of St. Teresa, Winona, Minn.
An outstanding part of the weekend was a ban-quet
at which the speaker was Dick Miller. Miller,
former student body president at the University
of Minnesota at Duluth and presently the admini-strative
assistant of the international affairs vice
president of the USNSA, spoke to the Bethel stu-dent
senate last Monday evening.
On both occasions Miller emphasized one pre-mise:
student government exists to further the
aspirations of its institution, and of course the
goal of any institution of higher learning is intell-ectual
stimulation and subsequent development.
This premise becomes a challenge when, as
Miller suggests, one realizes that student govern-ment
often fails in this capacity and concern them-selves
primarily with preparation for social events.
Of course, Miller was not leveling a criticism at
any particular student government but was only
pointing out certain dangers.
This challenge can be carried to an extreme,
and in so doing neglect the several aspects of stu-dent
life. Students are human beings. It is import-ant
to provide the student with activity in areas of
life that are not academic. But these things are
secondary and must take a back seat to the pur-pose
of college. Pardoning the cliche, we must all
say, "Well just why are we here anyway."
So, there must be a balance. Members of the
Bethel community should be provided with some-thing
in the social, athletic, religious, and cul-tural
areas, as well as being thoroughly exposed to
The Bethel administrative authorities, as well
as the student government, are obviously involved
in maintaining this balance, and have occasionally
realized some conflict in this area.
In the last few years an abundance of co-cur-ricular
activity existed, but there is evidence that
the academic area suffered. This year an attempt
was made by the administration to solve this prob-lem
by restricting co-curricular activity to cer-tain
nights. This has resulted in a lack of co-cur-ricular
So a problem exists. This problem will never
be perfectly solved. But student leaders should
keep in mind the ultimate goals of higher educa-tion
and administrators should, and for the most
part they do, realize the need for a balance.

or some such.
But when you encounter a thea-trical
piece such as "The Cocktail
Party," you're stymied as to how
to simplify it for a person of
casual interest.
What author T. S. Eliot meant
is, well, anyone's guess.
You have a chance to match
wits with poet Eliot's controver-sial
drama at Theatre St. Paul,
where it opened Friday night. And
it's worth a look, because it is un-usual
and provocative.
Eliot is concerned here with such
subjects as sin, salvation, redemp-tion,
saints and martyrs.
If pressed to tell "what it's
about," I'd have to say that a my-sterious,
titled gentleman (a doc-tor
of some sort) in modern Lon-don
acts as a marriage counselor
to a middle-aged couple, bringing
them back together, and also per-suades
a beautiful, young, unat-tached
girl to give purpose to her
life by going to some foreign land
to undergo a horrible, martyr's
Otto Theuer's modernistic set-tings
were standouts, completely
done in blacks, white and greys,
which was also, basically, the note
for the costuming.
"The Cocktail Party" continues
Friday through Sunday at 8:30
p.m. at Theatre St. Paul's play-house,
675 Holly, for the next
two weekends.
Dear Editor,
Homecoming weekend merits, in
my opinion, special commendation
for a well-planned and well-execut-ed
weekend of activities. I feel
that special attention should be
given to the fine sequence and
balance of programs beginning
with Friday's homecoming chapel
hour on through to the campus
worship hour on Sunday.
May I mention a few which made
a definite contribution to what I
have termed as a fine and bal-anced
program. One must not over-look
the well-performed corona-tion
and variety program on Fri-day.
Then there was the coffee
shop hour on Saturday, the inter-est
classes arranged for visiting
parents and alumni, and the well-executed
parade and half-time ac-tivities
with its special feature
which honored two of our Califor-nian
Much deserved credit should go
to our homecoming committee for
the combined recognition of both
our alumni and our parents which
in my estimation made this home-coming
very worthwhile.
Roger Erickson,
college senior
Dear Editor,
I would like to commend the
homecoming committee for pre-senting
a very well performed var-iety
show during the activities of
homecoming weeked. One could see
that several students had sacri-ficed
considerable time to practice
for their performances, and for
this they must be applauded.
However, the question arises as
to whether or not this is the type
of program Bethel should be spon-soring,
when many felt the hymn
was even out of place. Should this
be the case, that even the things
of Christ seemed not to belong ?
Or should it be necessary to have
to apologize to a friend or rela-tive,
when they expect Bethel to
be something quite different?
Let us look for a moment at
the purpose behind Bethel and her
activities. Why has Bethel con-tinued
to grow ? Why has Bethel
gained a respectable position, even
in her own locality ? And why has
Bethel received accreditation as a
Christian college of higher edu-cation
? I'm sure you would agree
that it is because of her Christian
emphasis and because of her re-liance
upon God to direct in carry-ing
out her program.
Therefore, the motives behind
activities designed by Bethel
should be so that the work of the
Lord is enhanced through it. We
should be a distinct people and
recognized because we are not of
the world, but of Christ. In all of
our plans and activities without
exception we should seek to up-hold
the kingdom of God first.
Perhaps we need to re-examine our
plans and our programs to see
that the ultimate intentions are
I hope that we as fellow-labor-ers
in Christ at Bethel will never
lose sight of His face or lose hold
of His hand to direct all our ways.
"For David speaketh concerning
him, 'I foresaw the Lord always
before my face, for He is on my
right hand, that I should not be
moved.' " Acts 2:25

Dear Editor:
I would like to give credit to a
member of the campus community
who made a great contribution to
the success of the Homecoming
weekend (especially the Friday
night variety show and the Satur-day
evening banquet), and who to
this moment has remained in an-onymity.
This member is Bob
Friederichsen, who was responsible
for the designing and painting
of the magnificent backdrop, and
for the "World Fair effect" given
by the erection of the geodesic
I have heard many comments re-garding
the beauty of his produc-tion,
and feel that Bob should be
publicly recognized.

Dear Editor:
I was one of the more than 200
fellows who attended the early
morning "Sportsman's Breakfast"
on Oct. 25. The decorations, which
were the first thing that caught
the eye, and which I thought were
very well planned, gave the im-pression
that here we were on the
edge of a great swamp. (Milk,
spilled on the lap, gave that extra
touch of watery realism.)
The food was most enjoyable
in itself; doubly so when served
by members of the faculty and
administration. Mr. Virgil Olson's

I understand that the basic idea
which found its final expression
in this breakfast came from Jim
Counihan in a dorm council meet-ing
last year, the purpose being
to promote closer dorm unity. I
have no doubt that this was ac-complished.
But more than this,
the breakfast also fostered a clo-ser
relations of students with both
faculty and administration. Since
the breakfast was not the work of
either a senate council or a cam-pus
organization, the student-fac-ulty

was warming.

Devotional: The Heart of Missions is Always People
by Dr. Robert Mounce
from a sermon by
Dr. C. B. Akenson
From the time of the Lord Jesus
and His apostles right down to the
bustling mid-twentieth century the
great cry of humanity has been,
"No man careth for my soul."
True; there have been dramatic
changes since that first day. Hos-pitals,
radios, schools, and planes
have burst upon the scene. Yet
these changes in a very real sense
are only superficial. Missions al-ways
has and always will be "peo-ple."
The heart of Christ goes
out to human hearts. It is this
personal aspect of missions that
we dare not loose in the maze of
space age mechanical aids.
In the tenth chapter of Acts,
Peter is explaining to Cornelius
why he is willing to receive him
although an outsider. In a vision
God had shown him that he should
call no man common or unclean
(vs. 28). From the context we can
learn at least three things about
the personal quality of missions:
(1) In the Christian mission en-terprise
there can be no race or
religious superiority. Christianity
was Hebrew in origin but to sur-vive
at all it must throw itself
open to men of all races and de-grees
of cultural attainment. Peter
spent the night in the house of
Simon the tanner. Have you ever
smelled the hide of a pig when it
is being cured ?
(2) Peter learned the important
lesson that the race is redeemed,
but not saved (see also I John
2:2). Christ died once, and that
for all men. There will be no repi-tion
of Calvary. The world is re-deemed,
but until they accept the
provision, they continue as lost.
(3) The Holy Spirit has the sov-ereign
privilege of interfering with
the best laid plans of any evan-gelist.
Peter had hardly got into
what would undoubtedly have been
a fine "three-pointer" when God
broke in and "the Holy Spirit fell
on all who heard the word."
Missions is not the well-execut-ed
program, the finely executed
sermon, the carefully planned cam-paign.
Missions is people. People
caught up in the soul-shattering
experience of a Divine confronta-tion.
Missions is when people of
all races and levels of society are,
under the impact of the Spirit of
God, yielding to the Lordship of
Jesus Christ. The heart of mis-sions
is people.

A Satisfied Sportsman
Dear Editor,
The problem between the ad-ministration
and student senate in
regard to payment for fieldhouse
facilities—a problem that was pre-sented
in the last CLARION—is
of paramount importance. And
while there are always two sides
to any question (and no doubt
the administration has its "jus-tifiable"
reasons) nevertheless the
administrative decision to access
these expenses to the student or-ganizations
(and ultimately to the
students themselves) is both un-fair
and ill advised.
Needless to say, the school
should provide these facilities for
the few times each school year
when they are necessary for stu-dent
programs and activities. In
the past, no such fees have ever
been assessed. There are no com-plaints
of cost when the same fac-ilities
are used for Founder's Week,
the Festival of Christmas, and the
other programs sponsored by the

back, along with our own, and
went back to our seat.
A couple of minutes later the
lady who talks through the public

telephone. We laughed.
And then the girls who serve

relieved to see them take the

"Tom Sawyer."
Speaking of his field, journalism,
he says, "I feel that the college

is vital to all areas. I be-lieve
that newspapers are the best

not his only one. A tenor

With the opening basketball game just a few weeks away
coach Gerald Healy has been working his team hard to get them in
shape. Here coach Healy is tutoring some of his players in a few of
the many details of playing basketball. The team this year lacks height,
according to Mr. Healy, and they will have to play a fast 'hurry-up'
type of basketball. The first game of the season is against Sioux Falls
on Nov. 21 in the fieldhouse.

begin on Nov. 21 when Bethel
college takes on Sioux Falls in a
Saturday night tilt at the field-house.
The Bethel Royals, who ended
the season last year with a 15-7
record, are rebuilding their team
this year around seven returning
lettermen. Truman Turnquist, last
year's most valuable player and
this year's captain of the Royals'
team, looks like a strong asset to
the Bethel team. Coach Gerald

ball players to give his team
strength and depth. Fourteen new

for practice and Coach Healy is
expecting big things from these

Bethel Edges
Milton in
by Don Delich
The Bethel Royals snapped a six
game losing streak by coming
from behind for a 7-6 victory over
Milton college Saturday, Oct. 24,
in a rousing homecoming battle
at Hamline stadium.
The turning point of a frustrat-ing
6-0 game came early in the
fourth quarter when end Dave
Hagfeldt pounced on a loose foot-ball
on the Milton 1-yard line. On
the next play from scrimmage,
quarterback Les Borms snuck over
for a touchdown and the score
was tied. Then, with only ten
Royal players on the field, captain
Paul Evan split the uprights on
the conversion try for what proved
to be the winning point.
The two teams scrapped hard,
but neither could muster a sus-tained
touchdown drive during the
first half as the defensive units
dominated play. The third quarter
began just as the first quarter
had, in a scoreless tie.
Early in the third period, Milton
was given a real break as Bethel
fumbled and the Wildcats recov-ered
on the Bethel 25-yard line.
After being held to no gain for
three plays, quarterback Cashore
uncorked a perfect pass to his end,
Kruel, for six points.
But this was all for the Wild-cats.
Strong Royal defensive play,
headed by the game's outstandiing
player, Al Littler, kept Milton deep
in their own territory. Then, on a
fourth down situation midway in
the third period, Milton's center
passed over the head of the Wild-cat
punter and Hagfeldt recovered
the pigskin for Bethel on the 1-
yard stripe. Borms bulled over
for the tying score and Evan came
through with the clincher.
The Royal defense was equal to
their task, and again contained
Milton's hefty backs. The game
ended with Bethel in scoring posi-tion
on the Milton 3-yard line.
Helpful Season Says
Coach and Players
The football season has come to an end, and the equipment has
been stored away for another year. So ends a sad story with Bethel
compiling a 1-7 record.
A behind-the-scene-story, however, reveals that this has been a
very prosperous season for the players and the coach. When asked the
question, "What value did this football season hold for you ?" the fol-lowing
Bethel ended the 1959 football
season on Wednesday, Oct. 28 by
being set back by Valley City 14
to 6 at Hamline field.
The first quarter of the game
was played on even terms with
each team equally handling the ball.
Bill Holzworth moved the ball for
several long gains for Bethel. In
the second quarter Valley City
ignited a drive which led them to
the first score of the game. The
extra point sailed through the up-rights
and Valley City led 7-0.
With time running out in the first
half, Ken Baird grabbed a pass
and carried to the three yard line.
Two plays later Paul Evan plung-ed
over for the score. The extra
point, an attempted kick, was
blocked and the score stood with
Bethel trailing 7-6.
In the second half Valley City
set off on another sustained drive
which covered 74 yards and ended
in another score. The extra point
was good and the final score had
Bill Holzworth, freshman back: "We had a real good team this year,
but we couldn't win because we had too many injuries. This team had
a great effect on me, because they didn't quit."
Paul Evan, who was out most of the season because of an injury, had
this to say: "In many of our games we were outweighed 30 to 40 pounds
per man, but in spite of this we never were beaten badly. The team this
year never lost spirit and even up to the last game played good hard
Al Littler, named the outstanding player in the Homecoming game:
"I think we learned a lot through experience, and we should be a better
ball club next year because of it."
Phil Peterson, who broke his leg early in the season, had this to
say: "I do not believe that you can tell everything by looking at the
scores. The amount of time that I played ball this year was very worth-while
to me even if I did break my leg. The breaking of a leg in foot-ball
is just an occupational risk. I do not hold any grudge against the
game and think I will go out another year."
This football season was not a complete loss, but many gained much
experience from it. We congratulate the team for its fine spirit and
say, "There's always next year."
Let's Talk Basketball
Basketball fever is in the air. It won't be long now until the field-house
will be rocked with cheers as the Bethel basketball team takes to
the court.
This year's team will be built around the seven returning lettermen,
D. Larson, L. Borms, D. Nelson, W. Kindall, J. Peterson, B. Lindaman,
and last year's most valuable player and this year's captain, T. Turn-quist.
In talking to Coach Healy we have been finding out a lot of inter-esting
facts about this year's team. We lack height, and because of this
we will have to play a very fast game. The team will have to move the
ball fast and attempt to make all of their shots behind the protection of
a screen from another player. In order to play this type of basketball
the team must be in very good physical condition, and Mr. Healy has
been stressing this. Twenty men turned out for basketball this year
which means the team should have a strong reserve strength.
A new member has been added to our coaching staff this year.
Bud Pierce, who played for Bethel in 1948, will be the assistant coach.
He will be helping Healy out in many ways and he will also coach the
freshmen team. Bud is a social worker in North Minneapolis; and, in
the words of Mr. Healy, is a real fine young man. The freshman team
under Bud's direction this year will play about 14 games throughout
the season.

Nov. 14, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - A sellout crowd of 2,532 came to the John J. Lee Amphitheater to watch Yale take on Stanford on Friday night, and they weren't disappointed. The Bulldogs battled the Cardinal hard for 40 minutes before dropping a 75-67 decision in the season opener for both teams. The game featured seven ties and 13 lead changes.
Lawrence Hill paced Stanford with 22 points and 11 rebounds, while Anthony Goods scored 14 of his 19 points in the second half. Alex Zampier had 15 points to lead Yale, while Ross Morin added 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Yale took a 35-32 lead on Morin's layup in the first minute of the second half, but the Cardinal answered with a 20-8 run, which was highlighted by three straight three-pointers by Goods.
The Bulldogs got back within four, 57-53, with 6:47 remaining before Stanford scored the next nine points to regain control. Yale had one more run left, closing to within six on a Zampier three-pointer with 1:15 left. The Cardinal, though, made six free throws in the final 48 seconds to seal the win.
"Our guys really hung in there," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball. "We could have let it get away from us, but we kept getting back up."
The Bulldogs outrebounded Stanford 44-34, but made only seven of 16 free throws. Raffi Mantilla added a career-high 10 points for Yale.
"Raffi was very good tonight," Jones said. "He's been good in practice. He's a knockdown jump shooter, and we are counting on him to help us."
Jordan Gibson and Travis Pinick, who was limited to 16 minutes by foul trouble, both scored eight points. Garrett Fiddler had seven points and six rebounds, and Michael Sands contributed three points and eight rebounds.
Both teams struggled with their shooting from the field early in the game. The Cardinal missed its first six shots, but Yale only managed a 4-0 lead. Stanford's biggest lead of the first half was five on two occasions, but the Bulldogs managed to pull within one, 30-29, at the intermission.
The two teams were playing for the second straight year. The Cardinal topped Yale 72-61 last year in Palo Alto.
"I thought our effort was much better tonight than last year," Jones said. "There weren't a lot of similarities."
The sellout crowd, which gave the Bulldogs a nice ovation at the end of the game, was the first at Lee Amphitheater since an 86-71 victory over Harvard on Feb. 17, 2007.
"The atmosphere was terrific," said Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins, who earned his first coaching victory. "It was really a competitive environment. It's a great venue."
The Bulldogs are back in action next Tuesday when they travel to Vermont. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.
"It's hard to take anything positive from a loss," said Morin, "but it's early in the season. We have a couple of days of practice before our next game. Given time, we'll be all right."

Knuma Nursery Furniture
Co Sleeping cots and high chairs
Showing all 4 results
I bought the Knuma Huddle for my daughter who was born February 2017. She used the bedside cot until she was about seven months and getting a bit long for it. The cot was definitely one of the best items we bought for her early days. It was well made, easy to assemble and use, and made our early night-time experiences together much easier. As if that wasn't fantastic enough, the actual purchasing of the cot gave me some of the best customer service I have ever received. Thank you for a wonderful product and customer experience. I recommend Knuma to others at every opportunity, and hope that those involved with the company are, quite rightly, proud of it.
Thank you so much for all your support with the purchase of the Huddle we love it!!
It's the perfect piece of furniture for supporting that ever important co sleeping journey! I'm so glad we found you!
Our little one loves it and unfortunately is such a jumbo baby that he might grow out of it sooner than 6 months! You will have to create a cot version so we can upgrade!
Really lovely crib - it's really stable and looks good too! I think that the system grows with your child is really cool.
Absolutely love our Knuma Huddle - a really well-designed, sturdy piece of furniture that straps securely to our bed. Our son is very comfortable and sleeps well in it and I'm sure will love using it as a desk in future! I really like that it'll have a future use once he's grown out of the crib. Highly recommend the Huddle - and lovely people running the company too; my son was early which took us all by surprise, but they were very responsive and got the crib to us as quickly as possible.
I came across the Knuma Huddle bedside crib after being unable to find another crib that would reach the dizzy heights of our new 70cm high bed! Not only does this crib look fantastic (we chose white but the grey and beech versions are also super stylish) it is extremely well made, comfortable for baby and looks great in our white and grey bedroom.
It has made life so much easier too with night feeds after my c-section, with my baby boy being right next to me, but safe at the same time. I love the fact how versatile and multi-functional this crib is too - once my baby has outgrown it, it converts into a desk and bench which will be a fabulous addition to his room - Many thanks Knuma.
This chair is honestly one of the best items I have in my house for my little boy! I started using it when he was 12 months old so the mid-size position was great for when he was sitting at the table eating but now he is 18 months old he totally adores the table and the chair position.
I don't usually write reviews but I love this high chair. I wish I had it for my first child. It is so easy to use and keep clean. It also looks brilliant!!!!
I'm very happy with this chair. My son seems content and comfortable during feeding times. The tray is quite large compared to others i've seen and is easy to wipe clean. It has a very sturdy & solid feel and a very stylish contemporary look which works really well in our open plan kitchen/diner. We went for the red seat cushion which is a nice vibrant shade. I'd be happy to recommend it to my friends.
This chair has a European feel about it. It arrives flatpacked, but assembly is fairly straightforward. The chair is quite versatile in that it is intended to perform a useful purpose throughout the lifetime of your child. I think the design of the chair is very good. It has a seatbelt so the infant doesn't fall out, and the fact that the thing is customizable means that this item retains its usefulness for longer than an ordinary highchair.

Tuesday, July 10th started a string of speaking engagements I have been blessed (or cursed) with in the months of July and August 2012. My local brother from a different mother, Patrick LeBlanc, hosted a SQLLunch for me as I demonstrated the new CDC controls in SSIS 2012. Patrick's slogan "No Fluff Just Stuff", reflects the theme for SQLLunch.com as demo rich webcasts of SQL Server features. The recorded session is now available here.
The announcement a couple of weeks ago of the SQL PASS general session included me. A new talk I first did at SQLSaturday #132 in Pensacola about SSIS 2012 new features – concentrating on CDC controls, Data Quality feature and SSIS Catalogs. Part of the demonstration includes new display options and Undo/Redo plus some auto-correction when columns change in the data flows.
Next Tuesday, July 17th I will be presenting Dimensional Modeling 101 with the PASS BI/DW Virtual Chapter. I got great reviews from this presentation while at the SQL Saturday #104 in Colorado Springs, CO. This was a fun trip with my fiancé skiing on the Friday before the event at Monarch. Many great speaker were at this event, and you can read my review here.
SQLSaturday #150 and Tech Day in Baton Rouge in August 4th, and I will be presenting a preview to my PASS Summit session. You can read more about Baton Rouge's largest tech event here and here and here.
The next session will be on the PASS BI/DW VC August 7th, but has not been posted on the site, yet.
God Bless,

MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. - A former Mount Vernon School District educator is suing the district claiming that he was unjustly treated before departing, according to a lohud report released on Tuesday.
Hilary Bailey, 61, has reportedly filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the district and Benjamin Turner Middle School Principal Jonathan Brown claiming that he was unfairly treated due to his age and a medical condition he suffers from.
Bailey was hired by the district in 2000, while Brown became principal at the middle school in 2013.
According to the report , the conflict between the two men came to a head in 2014 when Bailey's wife filed an identity theft report with police in regards to the purchase of cell phones made in her name that were received by a "J. Brown." Bailey later filed a discrimination charge in 2016, and was later placed on a teacher improvement plan.
The report states that Bailey filed a report with the New York State Education Department last year alleging that Brown illegally altered student answers on state exams. A month after the claim, Bailey was suspended from work in the district with pay, in April 2017.
Mount Vernon school officials could not be immediately reached for comment late on Tuesday afternoon. The lohud report can be read here.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. is deploying a disaster response team to Iraq help distribute humanitarian aid to tens of thousands of people who have been forced from their homes in the fresh wave of violence in the country's north.
U.S. Agency for International Development Administrator Rajiv Shah said Monday the team will help speed food, water and other life-saving supplies to Iraqis.
Much of the assistance will go to thousands of members of an Iraqi religious minority group known as Yazidis who have been trapped on a mountaintop in northwest Iraq to escape certain death by Sunni militants with the Islamic State group.
Shah said the U.S. teams would help coordinate the assistance distribution among Iraqi officials, international partners and humanitarian aid agencies.

Since current intercalation chemistries achieves very nearly unity efficiency, it is hard to imagine a redox-based approach achieving similar performance. OTOH, I'm not sure how they could hope to achieve charge rates over 5C if efficiency is significantly lower. We'll see.
BioSolar wrote:Silicon (Si) is one of the most promising anode materials being considered for next generation, high energy and high power lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Graphite is currently the most widely used anode material, but Si has attracted great attention because of its natural abundance, non-toxicity, and very high theoretical specific capacity of nearly 4200 mAh/g – about 10 times more capacity than conventional graphite anodes.
However, Si anodes suffer from large capacity fading and tremendous volume changes during lithium-ion charge-discharge cycling. The strains due to the huge volume changes actually pulverizes the Si material and eventually lead to electrode shattering and delamination, which adversely affect the battery performance and cycle life. These are the primary challenges to the commercial use of Si for battery anodes, which BioSolar intends to overcome.
It is good that they achieved an improvement, but that is far from being an Earth-shattering result.BioSolar wrote:One of the significant parameters that can project battery performance is the capacity retention after 200 charging and discharging cycles. At identical loading, prototype batteries with BioSolar's Si-M anode retained 78.1 percent of the original capacity whereas the benchmark silicon anode retained just 76.6 percent of its original capacity.

Changing The Shape Of What's Possible
Here's how TomTom Telematics is changing the present (and the future), and the lessons in innovation that you can learn from a game-changer.
Vital stats
- Player: Thomas Schmidt
- Company: TomTom Telematics
- Position: MD
- Visit: telematics.tomtom.com/en_za/webfleet/
To be a successful company in today's fast-paced and ever-changing market, you need three key ingredients: Access to markets (which starts with products that clients need), short-term agility and long-term goals.
Consider the epic success of Apple. Steve Jobs was hungry and fast — he drove his teams to achieve more in less time. But he also had a long-term vision that directed the business's trajectory. True innovation is the result of looking five to ten years into the future, and laying the groundwork now for where the company needs to be then.
TomTom started out in 1991 as a software provider for Palm Pilots, long before the Internet was a thing, or GPS had been opened for civil usage. Today, the listed company's latest acquisition is Autonomous, a business that focuses on navigation systems for driverless cars. Over the course of almost three decades, TomTom has consistently focused on what comes next: What do consumer and business clients need, where will technology take us, and what will be possible in the near future, enabling greater efficiencies?
Thomas Schmidt, MD of TomTom Telematics, unpacks the five lessons TomTom has learnt while developing world-class solutions for the consumer and B2B markets worldwide.
1. Focus on the problem you're solving, not on the product you produce
Companies that are too fixated on what they do, instead of where technology and markets are heading, will often find themselves left behind. The most common example is Kodak, who refused to see the dangers digital photography posed. Instead of seeing themselves as a company that helped people capture moments, they saw themselves as manufacturers of films and cameras. The rest of course, is history.

Robust businesses reinvent themselves, adjusting solutions to fit the market and making use of technological breakthroughs. "In 1991, the founders of TomTom launched a company called Palmtop," says Thomas.
"They designed and created the software for digital organisers. In principle, it was like a smartphone with no connectivity, and included a digital bible, a digital cookbook, a personal organiser, a calendar and a whole host of other features. By the late 90s it even included a digital map, which they had licensed through Tele Atlas, a Belgian company that developed very basic digital maps."
Here's how it worked: You bought a PalmPilot, purchased the map software, uploaded it to your device, and then purchased the cables and mountings that you'd need to instal the whole system in your car. It was complicated and something that only techies were really trying out, but it triggered something in the TomTom (at that stage Palmtop) team, who recognised that if they could remove the tech hurdles to get there, they'd democratise navigation.
The company had been a forerunner in the personal organiser software business. Based on where they believed the market was heading however, they began to shift their focus to hardware, and began manufacturing personal navigation devices (PNDs), complete with digital maps licensed through Tele Atlas.
By 2003 the business had been rebranded to TomTom and their first device, the TomTom Go, was launched. From there the business consistently grew 400% year-on-year, and an IPO was concluded in May 2005.
In hindsight, the shift looks simple, but in reality, it's never easy to reinvent yourself as a business, unless you're agile, adaptable, and willing to focus on the best solution, rather than what your current product stack looks like.
2. Always look ahead
Great visions always precede technological solutions. If they didn't, nothing would ever progress or change. The companies capable of those visions become the trailblazers and game-changers that shape industries, solve problems and drive greater efficiencies.
The evolution of TomTom's dynamic map data is a perfect example of this mindset in action, because the team kept asking what would make their product more useful to consumers. They had the device, and a digital map. What they didn't have was mobile data.
Instead, Tele Atlas had vans driving around, capturing everything. It was time consuming, expensive, and meant maps were always out of date. They also weren't dynamic.
"When you consider the fact that 15% of a map's data changes yearly, we knew there was so much more we could do with this product if we just had the right tools, and developed appropriate solutions," explains Thomas.
TomTom's team started by looking to the future: What did they want this product to look like? The answer was simple: They wanted a navigation system that was dynamic and up-to-date. If anything happened, a user would know within minutes. This would include traffic, accidents, traffic lights that weren't working, delays — anything and everything that would add value to a motorist or business with vehicles on the road. Today, this includes data drawn from how a vehicle is operating and how the driver is performing, right through to its location with regard to a dynamic map, and the capability to send companies and clients up-to-date information.
The technology that has made all this possible came after the idea of what the team wanted to achieve. With the right starting point, they were able to develop solutions that were possible. "We had millions of units on the road. We created a functionality that allowed users to update information on the map when they plugged it into their computers to update the software."

The problem was that it was a slow process. By the time TomTom gathered the data, sent it to Tele Atlas, and the changes were implemented and released in an update, months had passed. Consumers lost interest because it took so long to see a change.
So, the team went back to the problem to engineer a different solution. "We went back to the data we were collecting, and started comparing that data with the map. What were speed averages on different roads? Based on this, we could predict times of the day when you could expect traffic congestion and delays. We also paid attention to roads on the map that no one used, or areas with no roads that nevertheless had traffic. These were flagged as out-dated areas on the map, and we could send vans to check those areas only. It was all based on historical data, but we were adding more information to the map on a continuous basis."
The next component to be added to the mix was telematics. Thomas' company, Data Factory, was purchased by TomTom in 2005. "Telematics brought more data early on to TomTom. This was real-time data that could be deployed elsewhere. In the early days we were using trunket radios to capture data, but it was all fed into the system. An average car spends less than an hour on the road each day. Compare this to six hours for a business car, and up to 12 hours for a truck, and you'll get a view of how much data we were actually collecting. The trick was to continuously ask how we could use the data, and what we could do with it. It was not yet a dynamic system, but we were constantly moving forward and improving. We kept asking, 'If we had this, what could we do with it?'"
TomTom also made another decision, and offered to purchase Tele Atlas in 2008. "We recognised that the future was fresh, up-to-date data. If we owned the maps, we can streamline the process. Two different companies, even working in partnership, create a lot of delays.
"Increasing efficiencies wherever you can is in our DNA. That's what we do for customers. And it's why we've been able to offer our customers up-to-date dynamic maps that are data-rich and create a seamless customer experience."
3. Adapt to the future
This takes the ideal of looking ahead a step further. On the one hand, looking ahead is focused on the lane you're currently in, and envisioning how you can change customer lives. But it's also about paying attention to how the world is changing, and what the future will bring.
TomTom is currently a software and hardware developer. The business has four divisions: TomTom Consumer, TomTom Automotive, TomTom Licensing and TomTom Telematics. In each case, hardware and software solutions are deployed to drive efficiencies and cost savings, from consumers with a TomTom device in their vehicles, cars with onboard systems designed by TomTom, telematics systems that track a business's entire transport and logistics solution, to the map data as one of the sources for Apple's map solution.
But TomTom is looking much further than the solutions it currently offers. "TomTom democratised navigation, and today it's available in multiple different ways; your phone, a device, your car. We understand this and move with the times. We expect technology disruption to go on and things to change even faster in the future. Today we manufacture devices. We don't believe we will still be doing this in the long-term future. How our solutions will be accessed will change. We are also now investing heavily in the navigation systems and maps autonomous cars will use. This isn't a big revenue stream for us now, but it will be incredibly important in the future, and we will have solutions ready.
"To stay alive, you need to be smarter, faster and the master in your specific area of competence. At our core we bring customers, data and development together. It's always about the best experience and solutions."

4. Be fast, agile and adaptable
Even though TomTom is a listed company, its controlling shareholding rests in the hands of four people — all of whom are entrepreneurs. "TomTom's original founders still head up the business and drive its vision, and the four different business units are run by MDs who are entrepreneurial as well," explains Thomas, who is one of those MDs, and who by his own admission could never be a standard employee.
"Data Factory was the third business I built, and I sold it to TomTom in 2005 because I knew this was the best way to achieve international growth. 12 years later I'm still here as MD of the Telematics business because our CEO and founder, Harold Goddijn, convinced me to stay and grow the exciting business unit. The fact that we're given so much autonomy to grow each business unit as a company makes us fast, agile and adaptable. It's the essence of this business. We all have a fiduciary duty to our shareholders, but we also have long-term visions that allow us to be trailblazers in our industry.
"We're not executives who begin to implement projects and then leave. We're focused on long-term, industry changing visions that will change the way our customers operate and do business. That's what gets me up in the morning and keeps me constantly engaged and excited."
The business is also run on a system of flat hierarchies, which Thomas believes is a key ingredient to TomTom's success. "No single giant can know or understand everything. To remain relevant, businesses need fresh ideas, and these come from open and collaborative teams. As the leader, you don't need to come up with all of the ideas — but you do need to be open to fresh thinking, even from your juniors. Have an open door policy, and listen to ideas when they are shared with you. That's how you push the envelope."
5. Give customers what they need, not what they want
Listening to customers is important, but you also need to look beyond their current needs if you're going to be a game- changer — both in your own industry, and in terms of what you can do for your customers.
"Take note of your customers' pain points and deliver solutions that create value, but you can't innovate if you only listen to what your customers want. You need to be delivering to their needs, otherwise you're just an executor and not an innovator.
"It's up to you to jump to the next step that they can't see yet, and often don't even realise is possible. Customers are focused on the now — we need to be looking five years ahead."
How do you stay ahead of the curve though? Thomas believes it's all about asking the right questions.
"Consider the question, 'What if we had unlimited energy for free in the world?' So many people stop there and don't ask further, because it's seen as an impossibility. And that's what kills innovation. If you remove that obstacle, and instead look at what this would mean for the world, you can start shaping a different future.
Related: Time Is Money And It's Time You Saved Both When Running Your Fleet
"So, what would it mean? It would mean an unlimited water supply, because we could easily make drinking water from salt water, at little to no cost. What does unlimited drinking water mean? An unlimited food supply, because water is the biggest restrictor. Once you start asking the right questions, you reach a future that you want to be a part of and make happen — and that's when you start finding solutions.
"Solar is already doing this, at 50% of the cost of other alternatives. The latest technology delivers at 50% of the price, and it was developed because the right questions are being asked.
"This is how we operate. We are always dreaming about what we could do. This allows us to create solutions. They don't always work, but we're hungry, and when we fail we fail fast, learn the lessons we need and push on. We're always heading in the right direction, and changing the shape of what's possible."

Set Up Your SME For Success With Fibre
Boost your business potential when you plug into fibre. It offers unprecedented benefits, taking your business to the next level of connectivity.
More South Africans are turning to fibre for fast Internet access. We're witnessing a boom in fibre expansion and as a result, it's becoming a more affordable option for SMEs. Once businesses connect to fibre, they can access a reliable, ultra high-speed connection that unlocks the full advantage of cloud-based processing.
Cater to usage demands
A slow Internet connection can derail your business. It's imperative for business owners to prepare their networks to handle additional usage requirements. Failing to do this might lead to interruptions, slowdowns and a potential impact on your bottom line. An Internet connection should be a tool that supports innovation and uninterrupted productivity.
Shift to the cloud
More businesses are accessing cloud-hosted information via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools and other platforms. In 2018, nine out of 10 companies in South Africa said they had increased spending on cloud computing, according to a report by World Wide Worx and F5 Networks. Running your day-to-day business on the cloud requires you to have a more powerful Internet connection.
Support video and VoIP
Some businesses make use of video capabilities for training and meetings, and VoIP for sales and marketing. On a fibre line, businesses can ensure they meet these demands without putting a strain on the network. With fibre, business owners can run voice and Internet data on the same line but may look at installing a second data connection for redundancy.
Get what you pay for
There's no denying it, fibre provides exceptional speeds and offers a brilliant price-to-performance ratio. You won't receive the same contention ratio as other connection mediums – you will get what you pay for. Bandwidth caps are less of an issue with fibre because there's a choice of affordable uncapped deals on offer.
Make the right choice
- Before you decide on your fibre deal, ask the right questions, understand exactly what you're paying for and match your business requirements with the right amount of bandwidth.
- Choose a provider that allows you to manage growth for the long term – one that allows you to choose your deal, scale when necessary and not throttle your fibre line.
- You'll also want an ISP to have your back further down the line. Insist on obtaining a comprehensive list of services along with the monthly fee. Ensure you are provided with a full service including all necessary support and equipment to deliver optimal fibre performance.
Ignite's drive and purpose is to be the spark that inspires SMEs, which is why the Ignite Fibre service is structured to put you in control. Ignite offers you tailored packages that take into account your daily Internet and business startup needs.

Whitney's brother admits introducing her to drugs
Wednesday January 30 2013
Whitney Houston's brother has revealed he introduced her to drugs.
Michael Houston has admitted he started experimenting with cocaine and crack cocaine in the 80s and his younger sister followed his lead.
During an intense appearance on 'Oprah's Next Chapter' with his mother Cissy, Michael was quizzed by Oprah Winfrey about his and Whitney's substance abuse.
Quoting a passage from Cissy's tell-all book 'Remembering Whitney', Oprah enquired: "Your mother writes in her book that you were doing drugs with your sister. You mother writes, 'I was shocked and confused, I didn't understand it then and I still don't.' How does it feel to hear your mother say that?"
Michael replied: "It's painful, I feel responsible for it, I let it go so far. We were together most of the time, with her following behind me. I taught her to drive, we played together, everything you do together growing up. And then when you get into drugs you do that together to and it just got of hand, you know? This drug (cocaine) is rough."
Although Michael didn't excuse his actions he did claim cocaine was a fashionable thing to do in the 80s when it came into prominence in the US.
He said: "You gotta understand at the time ... the 80s ... it was acceptable."
It has long been believed that Whitney's ex-husband Bobby Brown played a big part in her downward spiral into drug addiction, but Cissy's claims and Michael's admission suggests she had tried drugs before meeting Bobby in 1989.
The 'I Will Always Love You' hitmaker died in February 2012 as a result of accidental drowning and the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use".
Whitney had an amount of cocaine in her system at the time of her passing.

If you recall last season, aside from that brief period of Linsanity, the Knicks had quite a time finding quality play at point guard.
When you consider that the team openly talked championship before last season while trotting out Toney Douglas at the one to start the year it kind of boggles the mind. This mind was boggled.
And so putting aside the raging forest fire that is the debate over whether Jeremy Lin should still be on this team, the Knicks' 104-84 win over Miami on Friday night gave hope that even without Lin, New York is far better situated at the point guard position than a season ago.
With Mike Woodson often playing them together, Ray Felton and Jason Kidd were impressive, combining for 26 points, 12 assists and five steals on the night.
Felton looked fit, clearly eager to put last season's fat jokes behind him, and genuinely energized to be back playing in New York, while Kidd was the veteran presence Baron Davis was supposed to be, only with less of the silliness and actually effective. Even aging Argentine rookie Pablo Prigioni had his moments. While not an electric debut, Prigioni did look capable of running the team for a spell, as long as those spells don't linger.
New York's offense was especially in sync during the opening quarter, scoring 33 points and racing out to a sixteen-point lead that pretty much set the tone for the night.
Aside from a little bit of a lax second quarter when Carmelo Anthony briefly fell back into trying to do a bit too much, the offense was smooth throughout the night, with Knicks guards able to find open three-point shooters almost at will en route to 19 threes in total. Some poor rotations from Miami defenders certainly played a role, but let them worry about that.
In all, it was another reminder of the merits of competent point guard play, and how superior that is to guys just sort of wandering around, and it was definitely an encouraging sign for New York's prospects going forward.

The wind blew in my face, blew my hair into a tangled mess. My arms were locked tightly around Edward's neck as we ran through the dense forest. The house came into sight, and Edward slowed down a bit. He helped me off his back, and we walked towards the shiny silver Volvo.
He took my hand and led me towards it, opening the door for me and then suddenly appearing beside me in the driver's seat. He revved the engine, and smiled at me.
"You're nervous aren't you?" His voice was a little bit apprehensive. I looked over at him, and nodded. Nervous, in my opinion, was a bit of an understatement. Butterflies, no crows, were fluttering around in my stomach. My hand clenched into a fist, wishing I knew what Charlie's response would be. I hoped the rock on my finger wouldn't trigger too bad of a response from him.
"There is nothing to be worried about, love. I would never let anything happen to you, as long as I live." He turned the corner, and suddenly we were pulling into Charlie's driveway.
I wasn't really ready for this. Sure, I could walk into the living room and tell Charlie to his face that I was becoming a vampire and would live forever with Edward; that would be easier. I couldn't walk into the living room and tell him that Edward and I were engaged to be...married. I shivered.
Edward help the front door open for me, and I numbly walked in. He closed the door behind me, and urged me on. I clenched my left hand so that no one could see my ring.
"Hey Bella, what's up?" Charlie's voice floated to us over the sound of the game. I didn't respond, so Edward took it into his own hands.
"Charlie, it's us. We have some news for you." Edward called out. Oh, dear, things were going to be bad. We should have brought Jasper with us. Charlie walked into the kitchen, the game on mute. His face a bit disgruntled at the sight of Edward.
"What is it?" His voice was gruff. He obviously hadn't gotten over his dislike of Edward. His body was tense, as if to bolt to get his gun. This couldn't be good. I cleared my throat.
"Edward and I are…engaged." I forced the ugly word out. I hoped, prayed, that Charlie's violent side would stay dormant. The unhealthy purple shade his face had taken on didn't seem to be on my side. I started, hoping to delay Charlie's inevitable attack. Edward's cool hands restrained me. I looked at his face, trying to read his expression. Unfortunately, it didn't look positive.
"En- what?" He broke off.
"Engaged?" He seemed to be choking on the work. I personally didn't blame him. He took a deep breath, and his normal color returning slowly to his face. Oddly, the expression on his face was relieved.
"Dad?" I asked, worried about his reaction. He looked up, and smiled slightly at us. Wait, smiled? What was up with that?
"I'm okay. Just a little shocked, a little relieved that it wasn't something else. I thought you were going to say you were pregnant or something." Charlie said. I laughed, shocked and also relieved that he was taking it this well.
"The only thing is you're telling Renee. That is up to you two." He said. Of course, that he would make us do. That was Charlie for you.
