TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/21/13 -- Axxiome, a leading banking solutions provider, has joined the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN). Axxiome joins other global names such as ABN AMRO, Credit Suisse, Microsoft and Deutsche Bank amongst others, who it will work with to create common banking platforms which benefit consumers while also making banks significantly more efficient.
BIAN drives common industry agreements on how banking solutions will integrate with one another. It promotes open standards and helps make banks operate more effectively. Working together through BIAN, member companies can reduce integration costs, align IT with their business objectives and respond more quickly to customer needs. BIAN solutions will also reduce costs as common platforms enable banks to buy technical solutions from different providers knowing they will work with the core banking system, which isn't the case when each bank has their own bespoke platforms and systems.
Axxiome is participating in BIAN to help shape the direction of common banking solutions. Axxiome has experience across the globe of advising on and implementing new banking systems and is a rapidly growing banking transformation solution provider, so it will help the BIAN community by bringing its international banking experience based on many SAP Banking implementations.
Kris Hansen, Vice President Architecture and Management Consulting at Axxiome North America, says, "There is a move amongst banks across the globe to move to services oriented software (SOA) and combine this with industry-agreed IT standards. Axxiome has extensive field knowledge on banking transformations that we can feed into BIAN. We have developed models and methods, aligned with BIAN, to help the banks we work with to exceed global standards. Bringing global methods and standards, helps mitigate risk as the banks will be aligned with global banking standards."
SOA will ensure different IT systems within a bank can work together as seamlessly as possible without additional time or cost requirements for integration.
Hans Tesselaar, Executive Director at BIAN adds, "The BIAN community is very pleased to welcome the Swiss headquartered global consultancy firm for the financial industry, Axxiome as one of our latest members. It's my strong belief that this membership will not only benefit Axxiome and BIAN, but the whole Banking Industry. For many years Axxiome is developing their reference models for Financial Services. For BIAN it is a great opportunity to leverage Axxiome's models and industry knowledge. By becoming a member of the BIAN community Axxiome has decide to migrate their models toward the BIAN open industry models to become better positioned for the near future. As know Axxiome has a strong position in the area of SAP for the financial industry and given the fact that SAP is one of the founding members of BIAN, it will also strengthen the value of Axxiome as SAP implementation partner. The BIAN community is looking forwards to the close working relationship that we will develop during the upcoming period."

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

From Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina (PEFNC):
Within months of the program,
participants are seeing early academic gains
Concord, NC – More than 200 parents, school leaders, students and elected officials from six local counties gave witness Thursday to the early academic and social gains their children have experienced since participating in the North Carolina Opportunity Scholarship Program.
Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina (PEFNC) sponsored the event because the organization believes it's important for policymakers to hear from parents.
"Those of us in the public policy arena can debate the issue all day," said PEFNC President Darrell Allison. "However, the direct impact of the Opportunity Scholarship Program is felt by families and school leaders, who now thanks to the program, can send their children to schools of choice and also have a chance to serve even more diverse children in their communities. It is their stories that truly matter."
An estimated 80 families and 18 school leaders from Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union, Iredell, Rowan and Gaston counties were represented at the event. More than 25 percent of all Opportunity Scholarship participants come from these six counties.
"When you put these children in a loving environment where they know they are loved, they will do their best," said Anne Wooten, school administrator for Crossroads Christian Academy in Statesville. One-fifth of her students are enrolled in the Opportunity Scholarship Program. "They will rise to the occasion."
Wooten continued, "My prayer is that all students are able to learn in an environment that works for them."
The Opportunity Scholarship Program withstood legal challenges earlier this year that threatened to close the program. However, the expedited case is in the state Supreme Court pending a final decision. The decision has come as a welcome, but cautious relief, to families who applied for, were accepted and enrolled their children in schools of choice.
"This program has been an absolute blessing for us," said Lisa Smothers, whose four children attend Tabernacle Christian School in Monroe. "Two of my children were in public school dealing with bomb threats and bullying, which made it difficult to go to school every day and feel safe. Now, nothing makes me happier than seeing my children smiling and literally jumping up and down when I pick them up from school.
"To the legislators, thank you for helping my children smile again and love learning again," Smothers continued. "I thank you not just for my children but for all children."
The Opportunity Scholarship Program, passed in July 2013, creates grants of up to $4,200 for low-income and working-class families to attend a private school. To qualify, a child must be currently enrolled in a North Carolina public school and reside in a household that qualifies for federal Free and Reduced Lunch (about $44,000 for a family of 4).

MongoDB supports the most important paradigm of the post-relational-database era: Grab data first, structure it later. As much as DBAs don't want to hear about it - the requirement to define a data model and schema before you start collecting data creates serious friction on the starting phases of development.
As she goes on to point out, this doesn't mean that developers should be blasé about their schema. It's... Read More >

News : Surgery vital to extend career - Swann
Features : The battle of Swann's elbow
Players/Officials: Graeme Swann
Teams: England
Graeme Swann is on course to return to action early in the English season after undergoing elbow surgery in the United States.
The ECB described the operation in Rochester, Minnesota, during which bone fragments were removed from the elbow, as "uncomplicated" and said Swann will now begin a six-eight week recovery period, which gives him a timescale of returning to cricket in May.
England's first internationals of the season are two Tests against New Zealand, the first of which begins on May 16, but the realistic aim for Swann would appear to be the Champions Trophy in June, which precedes the Ashes. A decision will need to be made over whether it would benefit him more to play first-class cricket for Nottinghamshire instead of ODIs.
Swann, 33, was ruled out of the current tour of New Zealand on the opening day of the series in Dunedin after it was decided he needed a second operation on his right elbow, which was previously dealt with in 2009. He had felt pain - to a greater degree than he has managed over the last four years - during the warm-up match in Queenstown and was sent for scans.
The ECB statement said: "England and Nottinghamshire offspinner Graeme Swann has undergone an uncomplicated operation on his right elbow to excise excess bone formation that had re-accumulated following his previous operation four years ago.
"Swann will now commence a six-eight week rehabilitation and back to bowling programme before returning to competitive cricket early in the summer."
The surgeon, Dr Shawn O'Driscoll, who earlier this year operated on Tim Bresnan's elbow, told the Guardian. "The operation went exactly as we had planned, and no complications have been experienced. So we're hoping it will be a routine rehabilitation programme and following that we'll be able to say better what his return to fitness will be."
Before heading home from New Zealand, where he spent a couple of days before travelling to the US, Swann was feeling positive about his prognosis and said that the problem did not feel as bad as when he had his first operation in 2009. "It doesn't seem anywhere near as dire as last time around when it was like a bomb had gone off in there."
Swann's recovery will involve being strapped into a machine that keeps his elbow moving constantly. Bresnan used the same process during his recent recovery and it was the part of the rehab Swann was not looking forward to after it "drove him around the bend" in 2009. If the reward is being fit for a potentially career-defining back-to-back Ashes campaign any sacrifice will be worth it.

Interview with Aaron Khoo (Djehuty) of Wah!Banana
If you've been following the local YouTube scene, you're bound to have stumbled across a few of Wah!Banana's productions. The Singaporean YouTube channel produces high quality comedy videos similar to nigahiga. In fact, we had featured them ranking as the #1 local youtube channel just a few months ago in our "Best youtubers in Singapore" list.
So I had the opportunity to ask Aaron Khoo (Djehuty) a few questions regarding their YouTube channel Wah!Banana and luckily for me, Aaron is also well known in the local gaming scene - to be more specific, Garena- under the name of Djehuty.
Moving on!
The Interview
Q: A lovely good evening to you Aaron Khoo from the Wah!Banana team and thank you for taking the time to do this interview with us, how fares the month of July?
July has been great! Wah!Banana went past the 100,000 subscriber mark this month and that has been a huge achievement for the team.
Q: Let's start by introducing yourself to our readers, what is your role in the Wah!Banana team and how involved are you in the local gaming scene?
On the Wah!Banana team each and every member takes part in almost every aspect of the videos from scripting to directing and editing. I'm a shoutcaster at Garena for League of Legends, one of the largest eSports games at the moment.
Q: For the people who aren't familiar with Wah!Banana, you guys are a local YouTube channel producing comedy videos similar to Nigahiga and have became fairly popular considering Wah!Banana started only less than a year ago. What was the inspiration and driving motivation to start out a YouTube channel?
We started out producing gaming related YouTube content and soon discovered that there was a demand for local comedy that was being met. After realising that we decided to branch out into more general comedy.
I want a banner like that!
Q: The Wah!Banana team currently consists of only 4 people and the dedication to produce new content every Thursday. Has that been stressful for you guys to consider adding more members to the crew?
Churning out content every week is definitely a challenge, but I feel that having a set date helps to keep the team motivated. As for new member, you'll just have to wait and see :)
Garena, Garena never changes.
Q: What is it like being part of the Garena Staff? Can you tell us which are you favourite Garena games and why?
Being part of Garena has been an amazing experience. I've really been allowed to learn and grow thanks to large amount of exposure I've received during my time in the company. My favourite Garena game by far is League of Legends. I've always had a love for MOBAs and I know this may sound biased but in my humble opinion, LoL is the best one out there.
Q: You are well known in the local League of Legends community as an Editor for Garena and a shoutcaster for LoL, how long have you been commentating for games and what aspired you to shoutcast for the e-sports scene?
I've been commentating for almost two years now. My first shoutcasting gig was actually just an impromptu one where I volunteered to give it a try at one of our events. Ever since then it's kinda stuck and the thrill of casting an epic match is unmatched.
Summoner's Rift, a bloody chaotic and hectic battlefield
Q: Is there any upcoming gaming tournaments or events here in Singapore that you are highly anticipating right now?
I'm really looking forward to the Garena Premier League Playoffs which is going to take place later this month in Taiwan. In Singapore, I'm anticipating the second season of The Legends Circuit.
Q: Thank you so much for having this chat with us Aaron Khoo and best wishes the Wah!Banana team and Garena!

Read More Influential Brand Stories by TSL
We recently went behind the scenes with the most influential brands in Singapore. Our mission was simple - to find out the secrets behind their success. We sent our journalists to the front-lines of retail shops and into the steaming kitchens of their restaurants and they came back with 18 original stories.
We found out what it was like to be a Gong Cha Girl for a day. We learned 10 lessons from the tirelessly hard-working Old Chang Kee aunties. We discovered Din Tai Fung's secret recipe to the perfect xiaolongbao. We even tailed a Zalora delivery man for a day to see how they carried out their deliveries so fast. Our team worked hard to produce these stories and we're now really proud to share them with you. It's time to discover something raw and personal - a different perspective from the brands you all know.

Three exhibits in one drew people from all walks of life to the Gadsden Arts Center last Friday night. Phil Gleason's sculptures dominated the Sara May Love Gallery, the works of the Gadsden Arts Center Artists Guild were on display in the Zoe Golloway Exhibition Hall and the black and white photographs from "Journey Toward Freedom" were shown in the Bates Community Gallery.
"Journey Toward Freedom" is an exhibition of black and white photographs which focuses on the journey that changed the course of history.
Emma Farmer has stayed up many nights during her lifetime waiting for news about one thing or another. Sometimes the news was good and at other times it was bad.
But on the night newly-inaugurated Barack Obama won the presidency, Farmer went to bed. The event occurred eight weeks before her 98th birthday, and she knew she'd voted for him and that her staying up wouldn't change the outcome – she could wait a few hours to see who the next president would be.

At half time of the varsity boys game against Covenant Christian School on Friday night, Anna Dooner was crowned "Miss Munroe."
Anna is the daughter of Michael and Jacqueline Dooner of Havana.
The crowning came at the end of a week of activities to raise Bobcat spirit. "Farm Day," "Bling-Bling" Day" and "Class Color Day" for Spirit Week gave students an opportunity to dress up as a group and show their Bobcat spirit. "Twin Day" on Wednesday had the campus seeing double.

Tricia Collins, former Gadsden Arts Center executive director, always loved the way New York City's arts community often teamed up with small coffee houses to expose the world to artists while customers enjoyed a light meal. It was an idea that she pitched to the center's board of directors several years ago when the men's clothing store adjacent to the art center packed up and moved out.
For people who couldn't make the trip to attend the festivities in Washington, D.C. to watch the country's 44th presdent sworn in, a 12-hour event at the Quincy Conference Center was a good substitute Tuesday.
Throughout the day, nearly 1,000 people stopped in to enjoy free barbecue dinners, watch one of several big-screen televisions that broadcast the festivities or to be around people celebrating history.
It was during the oath of office and the 18-minute speech that the crowd grew silent.

A SECOND World War veteran died in his home in a fire started by his pipe, an inquest heard.
Oliver Minchin, 93, died at Preston Road, Abingdon, on January 26, after the blaze, Oxfordshire Coroner's Court was told yesterday.
The court heard fire crews from Abingdon and Didcot arrived at the home at about 6pm after receiving two 999 calls.
Watch manager Mat Nind said the most probable cause of the fire was Mr Minchin dropping his lit pipe or tobacco on to his chair in the kitchen.
He added that a carbon monoxide alarm in the home activated, and that two pipes, a bag of tobacco and a knife were found on a silver trolley next to Mr Minchin, who had suffered severe burns.
Neighbour Monica Wreyford told the hearing in a statement that she visited Mr Minchin to give him his meals and that he had eaten cheese and biscuits at about 4pm.
At about 6pm her husband told her that Mr Minchin had set his house on fire.
Earlier this year she said Mr Minchin had served on battleships during the Second World War and survived two torpedo attacks.
Consultant pathologist Dr Lucy Winter, who carried out a post-mortem examination, said the cause of death was smoke inhalation and severe burns.
Mr Minchin, a retired accountant and widower, was also suffering from lung cancer but had told his GP he did not want it to be treated, the court was told.
Oxfordshire coroner Darren Salter recorded a verdict of accidental death. He said: "The most probable cause is the lit pipe or tobacco falling on to the fabric of the chair he was sitting on."

In 1962, while pregnant with her first child, Nathalie, Sonia Rykiel drew up a sweater she wanted to wear and asked a Venice supplier to produce it. Despite her lack of formal design training, Rykiel forged ahead — designing maternity wear and women's separates that featured quirky details such as inverted seams. By the mid-1960s Rykiel became known to her American fans as "Queen of Knits." These days Rykiel's Paris-based empire includes the diffusion line Sonia by Sonia Rykiel, Rykiel Woman, Rykiel Enfant for kids, a popular line of men's clothing and accessories, and even an underwear collection for H&M. From leather shoes and handbags to color-block velour dresses to perfume and cosmetics, every design reflects Rykiel's unconventional style.

"It is generally believed that having a nightcap may aid sleep, especially sleep initiation," Nishino added. "This may be true for some people who have small amounts of alcohol intake. However, it should be noted that large amounts of alcohol intake interfere with sleep quality and the restorative role of sleep."

The best cakes come from the best ingredients, and you'll want to choose the best chocolate you can find. This may not, however, be the most expensive brand. There is a simple way to know whether you are selecting a quality chocolate: Check the ingredients label. If it lists any fat other than cocoa butter, it's not the good stuff. (Many manufacturers add palm kernel oil, coconut oil or other vegetable fats to their chocolate because they are cheaper than cocoa butter.)
Here's some more thoughts on what to look for in chocolate:
Milk Chocolate: If you love the smooth, creamy flavor of milk chocolate, you are not alone. Although I am a big fan of milk chocolate bars, I usually don't espouse milk chocolate in baking, and instead choose darker chocolate for a more assertive flavor.
Semisweet Baking Chocolate: Almost all of the recipes in my book contain some amount of semisweet baking chocolate. If you prefer darker, more assertively flavored chocolate, you may substitute exactly the same amount of bittersweet chocolate in any of my recipes. Do check the ingredients label on the packaging, which should read (in this order): chocolate (unsweetened), sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin (an emulsifier), vanilla extract. As mentioned above, do not purchase chocolate that contains any fat other than cocoa butter.
Unsweetened Baking Chocolate: Look at the packaging of unsweetened chocolate. It should list one ingredient -- chocolate. Unsweetened chocolate is not palatable on its own, but it is the heart and soul of all chocolate confections. It is the juice, if you will, of the cacao plant. Unsweetened chocolate is present in some form in all other chocolate. Unsweetened chocolate is by composition more than 50 percent cocoa butter, the remaining amount being what is termed cocoa solids.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Cocoa is produced by pressing almost all of the cocoa butter out of unsweetened chocolate. The flavor intensity of cocoa is diminished by exposure to air, so I recommend purchasing small containers and keeping them tightly sealed. Look at the container closely before purchasing to make certain you are not selecting a breakfast cocoa drink mix.
White Chocolate: It can't be chocolate -- it's the wrong color! But since sweetened chocolate contains more than 50 percent cocoa butter, then white chocolate, which is primarily composed of cocoa butter, must indeed be chocolate. The ingredients listed on a package of white chocolate should be sugar, cocoa butter, milk, soy lecithin (an emulsifier) and vanilla extract. Remember, palm kernel oil (or any other vegetable fat, for that matter) need not apply.

In recent years, I've spent countless hours watching serial TV shows on DVD, devouring episode after episode. My first time watching a TV series on DVD was when I watched the first three seasons of Six Feet Under. When I ran out of discs and had to wait for -- gasp! -- new episodes to air on TV, I felt a peculiar sense of loss.

The SR400 could really do with the original's extra 100cc or 8-10bhp more; for anyone over 5ft 10in it's too cute to be cool and, at £5200 I can't help feeling it's a bit rich, too. After all, the SR has no more moving parts than the YBR125 and yet its development costs were surely wiped out an ice age ...
1690cc, 110bhp, 112mph, Insurance group 15
The Slim is essentially a standard Softail (ie a big twin with hidden rear shocks for that 'hardtail' look) but given (as seems to be repeatedly fashionable with cruisers from all manufacturers at the moment) the minimalist, '50s 'bobber'/hot rod look. The difference here, though, is the 'Slim' bit. Harley's view was that its existing Softails had become ever bigger ...
125cc, 12bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 5
If you want the comfort and practicality of a maxi-scooter but you're limited to 125cc, the well-spec'd Burgman is a safe choice. It's not quite up to a motorway commute, but for city use it's a classy ride with more luggage space than you'll know what to do with.
125cc, 15bhp, 67mph, Insurance group 4
Peugeot's luxury-learner scooter is an ideal tool for the well-heeled provisional licence holder – it's well-equipped, nicely made and rides well. It's not so good out of town, but then few 125s are really.
1072cc, 97bhp, 140mph, Insurance group 17
The hub-centre steered Bimota Tesi is back. This is the third generation Bimota Tesi: the 3D. It costs £19,600 and is powered by the Ducati Multistrada 1100 engine. Although the Bimota Tesi is beautifully made, it's a very cramped motorcycle and the quirky front end doesn't have anywhere near the feel of a well set-up pair of forks. The cheaper ...
124cc, 14.5bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 5
The Rieju SMX 125 and 50 models are Supermoto styled bikes aimed at novices, with the 125 featuring a 14bhp Yamaha engine, Paioli suspension and a tall seat height. The 50cc SMX Pro version also has trick bits like Galfer wavy dics and a chromed exhaust system. Just that bit more stylish than the average learner bike.
1449cc, 63bhp, 118mph, Insurance group 16
Although at first glance the Harley-Davidson Softail Deuce is much like any other cruiser style Harley, the Harley-Davidson Softail Deuce is, in fact, a real beaut. Based on the Harley-Davidson Softail but with a stretch tank, restyle rear fender, chromed fork sliders and pull back bars, the Harley-Davidson Softail Deuce has clean, classic lines that are classic Harley. It's also classily ...

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — Men, women, and children in Poughkeepsie showed their solidarity Sunday with the mothers in Nigeria whose daughters have been kidnapped.
This Mother's Day walk over the Hudson took on a deeper meaning. As the world awaits to hear the fate of the schoolgirls, organizers say the walk helps to bring awareness to violence against women and children everywhere.
"It's not just a women's issue, it's a social issue, it's a global issue, it's a human rights issue, and we can't just sit by and not say something," said Carla Goldstein, co-founder of the Women's Leadership Center-Omega Institute.
Goldstein says Mother's Day originated as an anti-war day some 100 years ago.

Brea Grant Smacks of Success on 'Heroes'
By Bill Keveney
Heroes now has an anti-Hiro.
Speedster Daphne, a new character played by Brea Grant, has been giving time-stopping Hiro (Masi Oka) fits in the NBC drama's third season, smacking him in the face and the ego as she steals a piece of a dangerous formula while mocking his dream of a world-saving quest.
"It's been really fun to play out the comedy, in that he thinks he's a hero and she's not having it," says Grant, who was spotted by producers during a stint on Friday Night Lights.
The Roadrunner-like chase, in which Hiro can slow but not stop Daphne, will continue, but she will move into more dramatic, life-and-death territory starting with a trip four years into the future in tonight's episode (9 ET/PT). There she will come into contact with other Heroes characters, including Peter (Milo Ventimiglia), Claire (Hayden Panettiere) and Sylar (Zachary Quinto), and it's not clear who is good and who is bad. "There's a huge fight scene that's really, really cool."
Other Daphne stories to be explored during "Villains," Heroes' 13-episode fall volume, include who hired her to steal the formula, what they have on her, and her future connection to mind-reading Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg), who saw a painting in last week's episode that appeared to foreshadow the two of them together with a baby. Technically a villain, Daphne is "basically good at heart" and will struggle with her role in the battle of good vs. evil, creator Tim Kring says.
"Daphne gets a little more serious, but she's still sort of spacey and funny," says Grant, who is on board for at least 13 episodes. "She definitely has to deal with a lot more drama. This is Heroes, after all."
For the third season, Heroes' producers wanted to focus on core characters and decided any additions, such as Daphne, would have to be incorporated into an existing hero's story. Last season, fans complained that it took too long to connect new characters to the main story.
"Because we had Hiro on this quest to find this formula, we thought we would give him an arch-nemesis because he speaks in such comic-book terms," Kring says. "We came up with the idea of somebody who could move fast enough that if Hiro stopped time, (she) could still move at regular speed, slowed down enough so the two could have scenes together."
To put a face on the speedster as they shaped the character, they pictured Grant, whom they had seen on Lights. When casting, they decided to consider the actress herself, a 26-year-old with distinctive blond dreadlocks who did her master's degree thesis while pursuing acting.
"We wanted an attractive actress, but somebody who stood out a little bit. There's the quirky quality of her looks and a spunky energy to her," Kring says. "There's also an instant likability (and) a kind of vulnerability. We knew we were going to end up with someone who was not evil at heart."
Grant is pleased with the power of speed, which she calls "one of the best abilities. You'd never be late."
Computer effects turn Daphne into a blur and create the rubbery wake she leaves when Hiro stops time, but Grant has to run in many of her scenes to get the character started. The 5-foot-2 actress, who will appear in the Max Payne film due out Oct. 17, at times has had to run in heels, which bring her closer to the height of the show's taller actors.
"That definitely made me learn more about balance," she says. "Actually, (running) is what I do for exercise, so it works out OK." (c) Copyright 2008 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Co. Inc. <>>

Faith continues to stand as a fundamental Baptist instituiton of higher education whose goal is to prepare vocational Christian workers and ministry leaders for local churches throughout the world.
Faith is expanding its outreach and offerings, including new online classes. The Administration and Board continue to implement vision for the future as well as keep current in our strategic planning and enrollment initiatives. Interim President Dr. Ernie Schmidt is providing excellent leadership and administration as the search continues for the next president.
Our search has been broad and effective as we have met with well qualified individuals. These contacts have developed increased support for the mission of FBBC&TS and also enabled a recognition of the dynamics which help direct our focus within our search. God continues through others to introduce the names of new possible candidates for the position of president. Faith is poised to meet the challenges of the future as we are asking God for a qualified and dedicated individual who can lead us forward and onward. Thank you for your continued prayers and support for FBBC&TS, Interim President Dr. Ernie Schmidt, the Board of Directors, and the search committee.
