Question: How do a bunch of indie kids change a lightbulb?Answer: It's too obscure. You wouldn't get it.
(Hilarious, right? Right?)
Okay, say what you will about the unattainable independent rock scene, but those peeps make some damn fine music (when you can find it).
Case in point: The NYC-based Vivian Girls, an adorably hip trio — Cassie, Katy, and Ali — with tattoos, talent, and a sweet lo-fi/punk/girly sound that inspired a cult following around the world.
Last week, they kindly agreed to play a song for us from their hotly anticipated new album, Everything Goes Wrong (due out September 8). Hopefully you'll like it as much as we did.
If you even, like, understand it at all.
Hear the Vivian Girls live August 25, 8 p.m., at Death by Audio, 49 South 2nd Street, between Kent and Wythe Avenues, Williamsburg. Tickets available at the door. To preorder their new album, go to amazon.com.

Main navigation:
When Josef Sachs founded Nordiska Kompaniet in 1902 his ambition was to bring together the finest products in the world under one roof. But that wasn't all. In addition to exchanging money for goods, customers would also be offered much more, and at no extra charge. Nordiska Kompaniet would be what Sachs liked to call "a cultural and commercial theatre". The rest is history.
Today, his vision still permeates NK. The store's six levels house over one hundred separate departments, each with its own distinct personality. International brand names, such as Hermès and Mulberry share space with well-known Swedish brands including J Lindeberg, Filippa K, Acne, and Anna Holtblad. Here too, the legendary crystal manufacturers Orrefors and Kosta Boda display their complete collections. In the food market, visitors can sample the best that Sweden has to offer in the way of culinary delights. In addition, the store's bars, cafés, and restaurants make it easy to take a break from shopping.
Standing in the heart of the Swedish capital, it brings together the best the world has to offer. And, to guide you through it all, are the staff who are multi-lingual as well as multi-talented. Need to consult with a bra expert or a personal shopper? No problem. Want to change some currency, do some tax-free shopping, or schedule international delivery? It's all in a day's work at NK.
It is in the sum of all of these parts that explains why NK was and continues to be "The Great Department Store" for generations of Stockholmers (including members of the Royal Family). And we are extremely proud of the fact that our customers from around the globe feel the same way.

Chase the A and B status
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.
Chase the A and B status
Do we have a list posted of who needs what?
Re: Chase the A and B status
http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/250797 ... mpionships
color coded who has what chart from flotrack
Re: Chase the A and B status
I am one of those fans who loves the marks-chasing window. It's an event unto itself.
That said, can someone simplify the charts above to show who can chase what marks, event-by-event?
Re: Chase the A and B status
Probably made some mistakes, so let me know if I missed anything. I divided it by what I deem to be legitimate chasers and those technically chasing but probably won't happen. I'll update as time goes on, if people want that.
w3000SC: Kipp (3rd) needs A or Higginson (2nd) to get A; Cheever (4th) has A
w10000: Hasay (2nd) gets B; Erdmann (3rd) needs A; Hastings (4th) has A
mTJ: Grinnell (3rd), or Carter (4th) need an A, or a B and a Craddock (1st) A; Claye (2nd) got A
Others (technically a chase is on, but I don't see it happening)
w5000: Simpson (1st) likely skipping 5, so probably no chase
wHJ: Pressley (3rd) needa A or McPherson (2nd) A
wTJ: top 4 of Geubelle, Smith, Smock, Ufodiama need a B otherwise nobody goes
wJT: Ince (2nd), Patterson (3rd) or Hamilton (4th) need an A, or a B and a Borman (1st) A
mLJ: Henderson (2nd), R. Taylor (3rd), or Hartfield (4th) need an A, or a B and a Kitchens (1st) A. Dendy (5th) has an A.
mHJ: Blair or Black need a B (note: Blair won administrative jumpoff for 3rd place tie, so he is first in line). Moffatt (8th) has a B.
mDT: top 4 of Brooks, Winger, Plummer, and Malone need a B or nobody goes
mHT: Cralle (2nd), Loftin (3rd), and Freeman (4th) need an A, or a B and a Kruger (1st) A
mJT: Furey (3rd) or Krammes (4th) need an A, or a B and a Humphreys (2nd) A
Chase over:
m1500: Manzano (2nd) and Lomong (3rd) get A
w1500: McGee (3rd) gets B
m5000: Hill (3rd) gets A
Initial update: June 25
Update June 25: Whitt in mPV has A, so there is no chase there. Details below.
Update June 25: Missed mHJ, so it is added to the kinda chase. Details below.
Update July 6: m1500 chase over with Manzano and Lomong getting an A to join Centro (B) on team
Update July 9: Added mTJ info, and added other info to match the TFN update on front page
Update July 13: w1500 and m5000 chase ends, and wHJ McPherson got an A
Update July 15: Update w10000
Update July 16: Cleaned up a few events

Re: Chase the A and B status
You would! They are time trials, with little to do with racing.
OTOH, I like those, too, as well as all kinds of races.

Re: Chase the A and B status
I'd like to see Manzano, Lomong, and Claye make the team, for obvious reasons, otherwise don't care.
Re: Chase the A and B status
The M 1500 perhaps could use some clarification; I'll try.
As of now, Centrowitz has a B, Manzano nothing, Lomong a B and Matt Elliot nothing.
I think:
Centrowitz is on the team, as he won the race and has a B already. I don't think he can be bumped.
Manzano will be on the team if he gets an A, or if Centrowitz gets and A and Manzano gets a B.
Lomong will be on the team if he gets an A, or if Centrowitz gets an A and Manzano gets nothing or an A.
Elliot can make the team if Centrowitz and Lomong get A's, Manzano gets nothing and he gets a B, or if he gets an A and two of those ahead of him end up with only B standards.
This is worse than NFL playoff scenarios! >:-)
Centrowitz, Manzano and Lomong will probably all get A standards, even though Centrowitz doesn't need to chase. The next DL 1500 is in Paris, July 6, but there are also other opportunities.
Centrowitz has done better in championship-type racing than paced DL-type races, so that's something he could work on.
Lomong hasn't run fast 1500s since 2011, but ran two one-mile races this year (one indoors) that were equivalent to sub-3:35.
Manzano's fastest 1500s, too, are back in the 09-11 period, but he did break 3:35 three times last year.
Alan Shank
Woodland, CA, USA
Re: Chase the A and B status
Whitt has an A.
you didn't include mHJ, but perhaps as a lost-cause decisision. Blair and Black are chasing (a B will do; will Blair having precdence after winning administrative jumpoff in DSM)
Re: Chase the A and B status
I'll update mPV per gh input. Just can't trust those at flotrack. So:
mPV: Whitt (3rd with B) or Coover (4th) need an A, or a B with an A from Scott (2nd)
gets eliminated due to Whitt actually having an A. So top 3 go.
As for mHJ, I did miss that.
mHJ: Blair or Black need a B (note: Blair won administrative jumpoff, so he is first in line)
Re: Chase the A and B status
Well, I'm a people and I want!
Re: Chase the A and B status
If this was facebook, I'd push the like button.
Bring on the chase(s)!
Re: Chase the A and B status
Already got a migraine from this.
Simply only Centro in recent memory got a mark via chasing and got a medal in the 1500 in osaka. Manzano much like Centro is more of a championship runner than a DL front of the pack chasing that rabbit type. I am very disappointed in will claye, I thought he would gotten the A somewhere by now. I mean he is a silver medalist last year and a bronze the year before and was jumping 58 ft last year but this year is two feet short of that. I don't know why he is having an off year. The rest simply don't have a chance to contend in Moscow even if they get the A standard.
Re: Chase the A and B status
If the IAAF did not have their head up there ... then more would have the A; a 3:51 mile is about 3:33' there is no reason to not accept a converted mark other than to snub the US.

Re: Chase the A and B status
or to provide incentive to run the 1500, the Olympic and WC event, and disincentive to put on high-level races at an anachronistic distance.
Alan Shank
Woodland, CA, USA
Re: Chase the A and B status
The IAAF has been happy to have dollars over the years; the mile is the historic, premier distance and there is nothing to show that this is very good correspondence.
Re: Chase the A and B status
I am not sure this is what people are looking for, but for instance (and there may be others) in the mLJ Dendy has the A already so would very likely be added if we don't get two other A's.
Re: Chase the A and B status
Hilarious, as I was thinking of posting the exact same thing as I was reading the line right above that!
Re: Chase the A and B status
Do any of the 5th place or below guys have the A standard? If yes, that means one of them could be on the team if only one of the top 4 get the A standard, correct? And two of them would be on the team if none of the top 4 gets the A standard?
I hate how they've squeezed down the eligibility period. The window should start early enough to include the previous year's World or Olympic games, or at least the medalists from the previous year should be treated as having the A standard.
Re: Chase the A and B status
does anyone know when McGee or hasey attepts to qual will occur
Re: Chase the A and B status
Hasay et al on17th if I recall correctly.
Re: Chase the A and B status
Re: Chase the A and B status
In wJT, Ince, Patterson or Hamilton need an A to go (or a B for one of them if Borrman gets an A).
Re: Chase the A and B status
Simply only Centro in recent memory got a mark via chasing and got a medal in the 1500 in osaka.
Re: Chase the A and B status
i think a qualifying window from July 20, 2012 to July 20, 2013 would make sense for this year's meet.
Re: Chase the A and B status
As a fan who has limited access to viewing of actual races, I have no problem with time trials. In person an actual race is much more exciting I agree, but just seeing the results on an agate, a solo 3:31 or 12:58 is much more interesting then a mass 3:45 or 14:50 finish. If I had unlimited resources and time, I would happily travel to all the dl competitions, but sadly I am stuck at home reading a message board and waiting for etrack to get most of my results so the thrill of racing is lost on me.
I do however get to watch the wc, and I would be much happier if I could see names and faces I have seen before regardless of how they got there.
Re: Chase the A and B status
This not really big news (but a good excuse to bump this thread), USATF 1500 7th placer David Torrence has an "A" with his 3.34.06 in Tomblaine yesterday.
http://www.tilastopaja.org/db/toplist.p ... eason=2013
Re: Chase the A and B status
3:34.19 (you posted the time of guy immediately ahead of Torrence).
Re: Chase the A and B status
If USATF follows its own published rules, Torrence's time will not put him on the Moscow team, no matter what anyone else does between now and the entry deadline.
Re: Chase the A and B status
Not quite true, as the overriding determinant is to have the slots filled. If, at the end of the day the only way to get a third slot is to have Torrance in, they might do that. The problem is the processing etc.
Re: Chase the A and B status
That's not the way I read what they published. They say they'll go below the top 4 in the Nationals only for athletes who have met the applicable standard at or prior to the Nationals.
Re: Chase the A and B status
Don't know that the official rules have said in the past, but there is almost certainly precedent for entering people who did not meet the officially stated guidelines in the past.
Re: Chase the A and B status
I seem to remember that as well. Not sure that makes sense....fill the slots if able, even it's the last place finisher at USATF.
Re: Chase the A and B status
At the beginning of the 'rules' that is what it says. So, are they going to follow all of the rule details or their Rule #1 (or #0)?
Re: Chase the A and B status
I can't name chapter and verse, but they have "filled" in the past. Pretty sure you'll find a Breaux Greer instance.
Re: Chase the A and B status
tandfman is going by the stated official USATF rules and procedures for Moscow World Championships team selection. I think Greer made the 2008 Olympic team because of a special clause that allowed the addition of injured athletes who competed in the trials but didn't make the team, if they had the A standard, and as long as no other athlete was displaced.
The 2013 USATF Governance Handbook includes the paragraph below, but interestingly it doesn't include the World Championships.. Does anyone have an idea why that might be?:
220512 Complete teams-
In obtaining representation for the United States in each competition and event of the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, and Pan-American Games, the corporation, either directly or by delegation to the appropriate national governing body or paralympic sports organization, may select, but is not obligated to select (even if not selecting will result in an incomplete team for an event), athletes who have not met the eligibility standard of the national governing body and the Corporation, when the number of athletes who have met the eligibility standards of such entities is insufficient to fill the roster for an event.
Re: Chase the A and B status
I think the rules were different in the past.
The reason not to do this, given the current printed rules, is that it's arguably not fair to others below the 4th place finishers who could have chased the standards but didn't do so because the rules said that post-Nationals marks wouldn't count.
Re: Chase the A and B status
the rules, as always I suspect, are whatever the T&FN Committee decides they are when team-naming time comes.
Re: Chase the A and B status
I guess we'll know in a few weeks.
Re: Chase the A and B status
Got an errant "N" there
Re: Chase the A and B status
Can the rules of the T&F Committee be anymore complex, stultifying and generally quite meaningless than the UKA Rules for Selection Process. I doubt it. The latter select who they want and there is always a clause dreamed up by their "experts" to justify their choices.

The Coalition's welfare reforms are too timid, says economist Peter Hill. Welfare-to-work schemes have failed, and adding more state intervention will only compound the problems.

As Britain prepares to re-negotiate its position in the European Union, with the possibility of a full withdrawal if negotiations are unsuccessful, we outline some of the key points for negotiators to focus on. Paradoxically, the UK might well end up with a better deal if it is willing to contemplate life 'out', as EU negotiators are likely to stick to their guns if the UK is determined to stay 'in'.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday following the U.S. presidential election, Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, said that Republicans, having lost to the Democrats, could no longer hold out free market principles with respect to taxation. 'I think there is a very good chance that [President Obama will] pass major consequential legislation in the second term, and people like me won't like it that much. I think Republicans will have to give in much more than they think,' he said.
Kristol elaborated on the GOP fallout: 'The Democrats picked up seats in the House and Senate, and the President is in good shape ... the Republicans in the House will be able to get some concessions and some compromises, but I think there will be a deep budget deal next year, it will be an Obama-type budget deal, much more than a Paul Ryan budget deal, type budget deal. And elections have consequences.'
Kristol's musings were the subject of much Democratic smugness and Republican alarm, with his singular sacrifice for the greater good echoing Cato's 10th Letter:
No man living laments the calamities brought upon his country, more than I do those brought upon mine: Yet I freely own, that I think the paying off the nation's debts, and restoring, by that means, the kingdom to its power, its grandeur, and its security again, was an end worth all the evils which we have yet suffered; an end which ought, if possible, to have been purchased with greater than we have yet suffered, if it could not otherwise have been purchased. I think that it ought to have been done, though attended with many ill circumstances; and might have been done, even upon those hard terms, with justice to private men, and honour to the nation. We are not a people without it; nor is it worth while to dispute about the best cabin in a ship that is sinking.
But not only elections have consequences; so do economics. For those who believed that GOP intransigence on 'tax cuts for the wealth' — or 'tax cuts for the economy', a rhetorical ploy by one knowing Republican wit — was motivated by selfish greed, no doubt this volte face must come as a welcome return to common sense. To their peril, they ignore the findings of the Laffer curve.
Named for Reagan-era economist Arthur Laffer, the curve charts government revenues against taxation rates, based on the idea that at both zero and one hundred per cent taxation the State will collect no monies, but that somewhere along this curve are rates for optimum private sector growth (nurtured by the provision of public goods by the State) and optimum government revenue. 'The uniform, constant, and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition', wrote Smith, 'the principle from which publick and national, as well as private opulence is originally derived, is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite both of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration (II.iii.31).'
Ultimately, the question must be focussed on what the market will bear. It is one thing if additional taxes will be no more than an irritant for entrepreneurs and corporations; quite another, though, if these additional burdens occasion distortions and disincentives to economic activities. Such conditions met one of Smith's definitions of a bad tax, for 'it may obstruct the industry of the people, and discourage them from applying to certain branches of business which might give maintenance and employment to great multitudes (V.ii.b.6).'
For adherents of Laffer, studies indicate that the threshold lies at government expenditure at about 18-20 per cent of GDP; that is, up to this point most business activity will continue unabated, but once this nominal level has been crossed, then extraneous considerations enter into business calculations. (Thus, there is a gap between growth-maximisation and revenue-maximisation on the Laffer curve, the difference being that greater government pressure via increasing tax rates will result in slowing private-sector profits.)
What this means is that applying additional taxes past their maximisation point will not result in higher revenues, but lower — bringing neither justice to private men nor honour to the nation. The nineteenth-century French economist Frédéric Bastiat popularised this economic phenomenon as 'That Which Is Seen, and That Which Is Not Seen':
Between a good and a bad economist this constitutes the whole difference—the one takes account of the visible effect; the other takes account both of the effects which are seen and also of those which it is necessary to foresee. Now this difference is enormous, for it almost always happens that when the immediate consequence is favorable, the ultimate consequences are fatal, and the converse. Hence it follows that the bad economist pursues a small present good, which will be followed by a great evil to come, while the true economist pursues a great good to come, at the risk of a small present evil.
A step in foresight to improve the nation's finances proves in hindsight a wounding blow to the public treasury. A century earlier, Bastiat's compatriot the Baron de Montesquieu proclaimed pithily in The Spirit of the Laws that when savages 'are desirous of fruit, the cut the tree to the root, and gather the fruit. This is an emblem of despotic government.' Now savagery and despotism are camouflaged as enlightened policy.
Though unaware of Laffer curve economics, Cato was not unmindful of its effects. 'If, in taxing labour and manufactures, we exceed a certain proportion, we discourage industry, and destroy that labour and those manufactures,' he astutely noted. 'The like may be said of trade and navigation; they will bear but limited burdens: And we find by experience, that when higher duties are laid, the product is not increased; but the trade is lost, or the goods are run.'
Key to policy formation is whether America has reached or exceeded the optimum marginal tax rates for optimum government revenue; and whether increases in the one will lead to increases in the other. Indicators are that the threshold has been met: record amounts in bank reserves and corporation coffers suggest that current levels are curtailing business growth, as does anecdotal evidence from CEOs and small business owners who fear that further taxes and regulations will eat into viable profit margins. Yet, were the highest marginal tax rates decreased toward growth maximisation levels, innovators and entrepreneurs would doubtless invigorate the market, boosting tax revenues further — another facet of Bastiat's counterfactual analysis.
'You know what?' Kristol concluded, 'It won't kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires. It really won't, I don't think.' But the financial argument is not about the supposed merits of any nominal marginal tax rate on the highest incomes (moral issues are another matter), but on its effects on the total American economy. Kristol sees only short-term political compromise and is blind to long-term revenue shortfalls; his apparent graciousness in electoral defeat is economic illiteracy in disguise.
Political equivocations cannot trump economic realities. By masquerading as a commendable compromise to save the nation's sinking finances, will the ship of state surely be lost.
Housing benefit is a national industry, says Preston Byrne. It sustains a national minimum rent and drives up rental costs for everyone. The government's reforms are on the right track.Read more...
The reforms to financial regulation that followed the 2008 crisis have been dead wrong, argues Deri Hughes. Interventionism and subsidies for established banks have choked competition and added even more layers of protection for established banks than existed before. The answer is to take the state out of the money and banking business.Read more...
Statistician John C. Duffy and ASI fellow Christopher Snowdon assess the Sheffield Alcohol Policy Model, used as the basis for the British and Scottish governments' calls for minimum alcohol pricing. They find that the model is deeply flawed, based on faulty premises and used to justify policy far beyond what it actually proves.Read more...

I am a typical college student, an Evolutionary Anthropology major. I spend most of my time hanging out with my boyfriend and friends, playing TF2 and popcap games, reading, and of course drinking tea.
I first started drinking tea every morning when I was a freshman in high school. I have recently discovered the joys of loose leaf, and I absolutely adore trying new teas (especially ones that sound like desserts)…Although I will always have my old favorite: big bold breakfast teas and my new favorite: wonderfully flavorful rooiboses.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Preventing Diabetes for Ten Years PlusPosted: Sunday, February 14, 2010
Ten-year follow-up of diabetes incidence and weight loss in the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study.
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a randomized clinical trial, demonstrated that intensive lifestyle intervention or metformin prevented or delayed development of Type 2 diabetes in high-risk adults compared with placebo. The current article is the first report of the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS), a long-term follow-up of the DPP designed to determine whether the delay in diabetes seen during the DPP can be sustained.
After being informed of the main DPP results, patients in the metformin and placebo groups entered a 1- to 2-week drug washout phase. All participants were offered a group-administered version of the 16-session lifestyle curriculum as a bridge protocol. Once the DPPOS follow-up began, all participants were offered a lifestyle session every 3 months. The DPP lifestyle group participants were also offered 4 group sessions per year. Those in the metformin group continued to receive metformin (850 mg twice daily). As in the DPP, the primary outcome was development of diabetes. Median follow-up from original DPP randomization was 10 years.
In the original DPP, diabetes incidence was reduced by 58% with intensive lifestyle and by 31% with metformin compared with placebo. During DPPOS, diabetes incidence rates were not significantly different between groups. Incidence rates were stable in the lifestyle group, but decreased in the placebo and metformin groups during the DPPOS. During the combined DPP, bridge, and DPPOS periods, the incidence was decreased by 34% (95% confidence interval [CI], 24%-42%) in the lifestyle group and by 18% (95% CI, 7%-28%) in the metformin group compared with placebo.
The delay in median time to diabetes diagnosis was previously estimated from DPP results to be 11 years for the lifestyle group and 3 years for the metformin group. However, the current study estimated the delay to be about 4 years by lifestyle intervention and 2 years by metformin. Attendance at the quarterly lifestyle session averaged 18% for the original lifestyle group, 15% for the metformin group, and 14% for the placebo group.
The main finding of this study -- that the prevention or delay of diabetes with lifestyle intervention or metformin can persist for at least 10 years -- is indeed good news. In fact, the incidence rate in the lifestyle group was remarkably stable, and the lowering of the relative risk reduction (from 58% to 34%) was due to a falling incidence rate in the placebo group rather than a loss of benefit in the lifestyle group. This may have occurred because the placebo group was offered some lifestyle intervention during DPPOS, although attendance was fairly poor. It is also possible, however, that placebo participants who were most prone to diabetes converted quickly (during DPP), leaving those less prone to produce a lower incidence rate.
Studies have suggested such a phenomenon, but the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study reported a similar diabetes incidence rate among its placebo group during the trial and long-term follow-up phases. It is also important to note that the metformin group experienced a lower incidence rate during the DPPOS than the DPP. This finding suggests that adding modest lifestyle change (even if poorly attended) to metformin may enhance the drug's effect.
Not all the news was good, however. The substantial shortening of the median time to diabetes changes the cost-benefit ratio of the interventions. What remains to be seen is whether lifestyle or metformin intervention reduces the debilitating (and costly) microvascular and macrovascular complications associated with diabetes. Until that is known, regardless of whether the results of the current study were due to early intensive lifestyle intervention (during the DPP) or the addition of lifestyle to all groups (during the DPPOS), there remains little doubt that patients who can make positive lifestyle changes should do so.

NUMBER 84. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. ' JUNE, 1897. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, ATLANTA, GA., Is a Christian Institution, unsec-tarian in its management and influence, wholly controlled by an independent Board of Trustees, and receiving no aid from city, state or national government', or benevolent society. Has 290 students in College, Normal, College Preparatory and Sub-Normal departments, under 23 officers and teachers. Trains teachers and leaders of their race from among the sons and daughters of the Freedmen of the South. Has sent out 316 graduates from College and Normal courses, nearly all of whom, together with hundreds of past undergraduates, are engaged in teaching and other useful work in Georgia and surrounding States. Owns four large brick buildings, on sixty-five acres of land, one mile from the centre of Atlanta, Ga., library of 9,400 volumes, apparatus and other equipment—all valued at not less than a quarter of a million dollars. Having no endowment (except about $33,000, mostly for special objects), the Institution requires at least $20,000 a year in donations from its friends, to continue the work now in hand, and a fund of about $500,000 to put that work on a permanent basis. Annual scholarships of $40 each are asked for to provide for the tuition of one student for one year, over and above the nominal tuition fees paid by the student. Subscriptions of $100 and up-wards, or any smaller sums, are solicited for general current expenses. Remittances of donations, or inquiries for further information, may be addressed to Pres. Horace Bumstead, D. D., Atlanta, Ga. The weather during Commencement week this year was charming, and the exercises themselves were very interesting. We give elsewhere an account of the Conference, a part of Dr. Hall's sermon, and an abstract of Dr. Bradford's Commencement address. The address was peculiarly happy in its many passing allusions, which do not appear in our abstract. -------------------------------------------------- The contest for the Qulz Club prizes on Monday night attracted the usual large audience and awakened great interest. The general subject was: A Needed Social or Economic Reform. Each contestant selected his own specific subject. The first prize of $30. 00 was won by G. F. Smith ('97), the two second prizes of $20.00 each by S. A. Peters ('97) and J. T. Porter ('99), the two third prizes of $10. 00 each by H. L. Keith ('00) and C. L. Maxey ('00). --------------------------------------------------- The address before the Phi Kappa society on Friday night was an able presentation of the topic: The Hebrew and Christian State. The orator was Prof. E. L. Parks, D. D., of Gammon Theological Seminary. --------------------------------------------------- This year, instead of the customary oral examinations on Monday and Tuesday, the regular class work was continued until Tuesday noon. The different teachers, as in other terms, had such written examinations as seemed to them desirable. The quartet finally selected for the summer trip is made up of G. A. Towns ('94), R. W. Gadsden ('97), E. L. Simon ('00) and A. Sengstacke ('01). In the college course this year there were four graduates, three young men and one young woman; in the normal course there were seven, all young women. DR. BRADFORD'S ADDRESS. The Rev. Amory H. Bradford, D. D., spoke on " Culture for Service." The following is an abstract of his address: John Bright has spoken of culture as " a smattering of the two dead languages of Latin and Greek;" and Frederick Harrison has said of men of culture, "Perhaps they are the only class of responsible beings in the community who cannot with safety be entrusted with power." If these statements are correct, then all schools and institutions of learning are folly, and all who seek education beyond the bounds of simple necessity are fools. But culture is not for ornament but for service. It seeks the perfection of the individual in order to promote the amelioration of humanity. Culture has relation to soul, and. is the result of intelligent effort. Emerson would educate the individual, " and the evils of society will disappear." Matthew Arnold says culture has its origin in the love of perfection, and it moves chiefly by the force "of the moral and social passion for doing good." Shairp adds to the idea of Emerson and Arnold the truth that culture is " to make reason and the will of God prevail." The aim of culture is the perfection of the individual in order that that perfection may become a minister to humanity. This ideal can be realized in our time only as those who have culture, viz., the scholarly, recognize their responsibilities. They have political responsibilities. Republics rest on intelligence and virtue; but in America the best citizens shirk political duties. Professor Brice says that since the heroes of the revolution died out, no man has been President except General Grant, who would have been remembered if he had not been President. The problems of our nation are many and great, Immigration is still increasing with amazing rapidity, and bringing a poorer class than formerly; our municipal affairs are sadly in need of wiser heads and Contiued on 2nd page.

A continuation of the Superman: The Animated Series show, but now combined with The New Batman Adventures (Batman jumping networks from Fox to Kids WB) in a show entitled "The New Batman/Superman Adventures."
Just in case you have never watched TV, read a book, seen a movie, or looked at the comics, here is a brief history of Superman:
Shortly before the planet Krypton exploded, Superman (then known by his birth name, Kal-El) was put into an escape rocket by his parents and sent off into space. After crash-landing on Earth, he was discovered by John and Martha Kent, who raised him as their son, Clark Kent. As young Kal-El/Clark grew, he discovered his various talents, such as incredibly powerful strength and the ability to fly. Relocating to Metropolis, Clark began to live a dual life, working as a reporter for the Daily Planet, but turning into Superman whenever trouble surfaced.
The character of Superman first left the comics pages in the 1930's, starring in several animated theatrical shorts. He then moved on to enjoy a successful radio show during the 40's, a popular live-action TV version starring George Reeves in the 1950's, and even a 1966 Broadway musical before returning to the small screen in 1966, this time in animated form.
Almost ten years after the live-action TV show was cancelled, Superman starred in The New Adventures of Superman. The series utilized the same basic cast as the 1940's radio version, and consisted not only of stories about Superman's world-saving exploits, but also of segments that showed him as a boy in rural Smallville. These segments featured super dog Krypto and Clark's first girlfriend, Lana Lang. Bud Collyer, who had provided Superman's voice for both the Fleischer cartoons and the radio broadcast, reprised his role in this version, too.
The strong point of this version was its faithfulness to the comic book. The show featured villains from the printed stories, like Mr. Mxyzptlk and Brainiac.
After one season, the title was changed to The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure, and Aquaman, the son of Atlantis, starred in segments of his own. In its last season, Batman was added to the show and given top billing, resulting in The Batman/Superman Hour.
Sadly, Superman was as vulnerable to bad ratings as he was to Kryptonite. Hanna-Barbera's Space Ghost finally proved to be too much competition for the Man of Steel, who left the cartoon airwaves in 1969.
Superman retained his membership in the Justice League, which kept him employed on Saturday morning's Super Friends well into the 80's. CBS gave him another solo shot in 1988, but this version went the way of Krypton, destroyed after one season.
The most recent incarnation of the man with the "S" on his chest came in 1997, with The New Superman Adventures. Animated in the angular, darker style of Batman: The Animated Series, this Superman caught on with 90's kids, becoming a mainstay of Fox Kids' afternoon lineup.
