August Equity Market Commentary
By Natalie Trunow, Chief Investment Officer, Equities, Calvert Investment Management, Inc.
CIO, Equities
Global equity markets were strong in August in part due to a better-than-expected corporate earnings season in the U.S. and promises of stabilization in Europe, but equities mainly responded to increasing speculation about possible Federal Reserve (Fed) action regarding QE3, which materialized on September 13, 2012. For the month, the Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, and MSCI EAFE Indices returned 2.25%, 2.43%, 3.33%, and 2.70%, respectively. Weighed down by China's slowing growth, emerging markets stocks underperformed with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index declining 0.29%. Growth stocks outperformed value names with the Russell 1000 Growth Index up 2.69% while the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 2.17%.
Within the Russell 1000 Index, Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials were the top-performing sectors in August, while the more defensive Utilities, Telecommunication Services, and Consumer Staples sectors lagged.
Manufacturing Activity Slows But Gradual Economic Recovery Continues in U.S.
U.S. manufacturing, the driver of the U.S. economic recovery in the past four years, continued to show signs of slowing in August. The Empire State Manufacturing Index unexpectedly declined into contraction territory and, despite improving, the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index indicated manufacturing activity in the mid-Atlantic region shrank for a fourth consecutive month. In line with the weakness in the regional manufacturing surveys, the release of the August ISM National Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) at the time of this writing showed a third straight month with a reading slightly below 50.
Despite U.S. manufacturing data showing signs of softness, figures released by the Commerce Department during the month revealed durable goods orders rising 4.2% in July with orders for motor vehicles and parts increasing 13% as demand for autos remained strong. In another positive sign, factory orders increased 2.8% in July while industrial production rose 0.6%, driven by increased use of utilities as a result of the heat wave across the country during the month.
Consumer confidence data were mixed during the month. The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index unexpectedly declined in August, while the final reading of the University of Michigan Survey of Consumer Sentiment showed consumer confidence rising.
Data also continued pointing to cooling inflation with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) flat in July and Core CPI, which excludes the more volatile food and energy components, at 0.1%. Both were below consensus forecast. On a year-over-year basis, CPI was 1.6% with Core CPI at 2.1%, both down from the prior month. However, market participants are anticipating a rise in food prices over the next few months as the impact of the drought in the U.S. takes effect.
Personal incomes rose 0.3% in July from the prior month and real consumer spending increased 0.4%, the largest advance since February, as retail sales (excluding autos and gas) increased 0.9%, exceeding expectations. As a result, the personal savings rate fell marginally to 4.2% in July.
On the jobs front, the four-week moving average of initial jobless claims ticked up to 370,000 at the end of August.
Overall, the U.S. economy seemed to continue on its path of slow self-sustained recovery despite the global economic slowdown. Second-quarter real GDP growth was revised up to 1.7% from the initial estimate of 1.5%, and the index of Leading Economic Indicators (LEI) rose more than anticipated in July.
Housing Data Continues to Improve
The U.S. housing market continued to show signs of recovery in August. Data released during the month indicated sales of new homes increased 3.6% in July from the prior month and were up 26% from the same period one year ago. Pending home sales and housing starts also posted solid gains in July while building permits surged, a sign of future activity.
July inventory of existing homes for sale was down 23.8% on a year-over-year basis with the low availability of homes helping boost prices. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) reported a seasonally adjusted 0.7% rise in home prices during June, while the FHFA's House Price Purchase Index rose 1.8% in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. Similarly, the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index increased more than forecast in June with home prices increasing on a year-over-year basis for the first time since September 2010.
In another positive sign pointing to the continued recovery of the housing sector, Toll Brothers Inc., one of the nation's largest luxury home-builders, reported a 46% increase in third quarter net income during the month. Confidence among home builders reached its highest level since February 2007.
As we have commented for several months now, housing can provide a positive surprise for the U.S. economy and equity markets through the powerful multiplier effect it can have on the economy through the consumer.
Fed Remains Prepared to Act
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave his highly anticipated annual speech at the central bank's annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on August 31 and reiterated that the Fed was prepared to act as warranted by economic conditions. He noted that additional asset purchases were an option and expressed concern over the lack of improvement in the job market, although the release of minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) August 1 meeting revealed there was still some dissent among FOMC members around the prospect of further asset purchases. However, as of the time of this writing, the Federal Reserve had announced a third round of quantitative easing with only one of the twelve FOMC members voting against the measure.
Eurozone Recession Worsens
In the eurozone, data released during the month confirmed the region is in recession. Eurozone GDP contracted at a seasonally annualized rate of 0.2% in the second quarter on a quarter-over-quarter basis and shrank 0.4% on a year-over-year basis. Eurozone industrial production declined 0.6% in June from the prior month and was down 2.1% on a year-over-year basis. Consumer confidence in the eurozone was at its lowest level since early 2009 and the unemployment rate held at 11.3%.
Most importantly, the core economies in the European Union (EU) seemed to be in a recession. Manufacturing PMI for Germany and France remained deep in contraction territory and Germany's closely watched IFO Business Climate Index declined more than forecast in August. Although core European economies have been feeling the impact of the region's sovereign debt crisis, German and French second-quarter GDP figures came in slightly better than expected during the month with German GDP expanding at a quarter-over-quarter seasonally -adjusted annualized rate of 0.3% and 1% on a year-over-year basis. French GDP was essentially unchanged and Netherlands GDP also surprised to the upside.
On the other hand, the Greek economy contracted 6.2% on a year-over-year basis as bankers in Greece reported that 20% of domestic loans were non-performing (more than 90 days overdue). Data released during the month also continued pointing to the mounting pressures on Spain's financial system. Unable to secure private financing, Spanish banks borrowed a record amount from the European Central Bank (ECB) in July.
Despite the relative calm in the eurozone during August, pressure on the region is expected to increase over the next month as creditors will report on progress made by Greece as part of the country's bailout agreement, which will influence the decision on whether the next major tranche of aid will be released. The yield on 10-year Spanish debt continued to hover near the crisis level of 7%, and despite Spanish government officials calling for ECB intervention in the form of open-ended bond purchases to push down borrowing costs, Germany remains staunchly opposed. However, at the time of this writing, ECB President Mario Draghi had announced that the ECB intended to launch an unlimited bond-buying program aimed at lowering short-end yields of sovereign debt issued by countries under severe fiscal stress. Importantly, under this plan ECB purchases would not receive senior status relative to other creditors. Although details of the program will need to be finalized, this represents a promising step in addressing the region's sovereign debt crisis.
Possibility of Hard Landing in China
China also continued to weaken, driven to a large degree by weakening exports. While inflation remained tame, the economic slowdown in China has been quite severe, and, as we have commented in the past, a hard landing in China is not out of the question and could significantly impact global growth.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in China was down 8.7% in July compared to the same period one year ago, a much steeper decline than forecast, as investors may be losing confidence in China's growth story. This comes on the heels of data released by China's central bank during the month showing that China's banks were net sellers of 3.8 billion yuan ($597 million) in foreign exchange in July, further highlighting the outflow of capital from the country.
Moreover, China's HSBC Manufacturing PMI and the official Manufacturing PMI reported by the country's National Bureau of Statistics were both in contraction territory in August. Statements by Chinese officials during the month confirmed they would increase fiscal and monetary policy easing to stabilize economic growth in the second half of the year. This was followed by similar statements from the People's Bank of China (PBOC) indicating a shift towards stimulative policy.
The global economic slowdown is de-emphasizing the role of manufacturing in the economy, highlighting the importance of a continued rebound in consumer spending. Our forecast is that continued recovery in the housing sector can help improve consumer confidence, which in turn can support consumer spending at levels sufficient for continued economic recovery in the U.S.
It is clear that the eurozone troubles are not anywhere near being resolved, although market participants seem satisfied with the promised policy response for the time being. We view the current state of calmness regarding Europe as temporary, with concerns likely to flare up again and cause market volatility in the near future.
At this stage, the probability of disappointment for the markets is quite high given the recent run- up seemingly based largely on speculation about expected stimulative action from the Federal Reserve. We wouldn't be surprised if the markets have a correction now that QE3 has been announced.

Get thee a denominator
By Jim Gates
Perhaps one of the most exclusive clubs in baseball belongs to a group of pitchers who each appeared in only one Major League game in his career, gave up at least one run but never recorded an out. Therefore, their ERAs are ?, also known as the lemniscate, the mathematical symbol for infinity.
Surely it must have been frustrating to have earned your big league cup of coffee but never to have achieved the basic arithmetic feature that every pitcher desires most — an out. Fortunately for us, the statisticians of the game have kept the data we need to track this select group, so without further ceremony, here is "The Brotherhood of the Lemniscate":
Of the 8,188 players who have pitched in a Major League game (as of April 21, 2009, according to David Smith at Project Retrosheet) only 13 meet the criteria for this group. One of the interesting things about this list (as if we need to take this any further) is that two members (Bruckbauer and Hamann) were born in New Ulm, Minn. (population 13,500 in 2000). Such an august group needs a club motto, something to hang over its clubhouse door, so to speak, and a colleague of mine would propose the following: "He who lemniscates is lost."
Ah, where would we be without such obscurities?
Jim Gates is librarian of the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library.

Thromboangiitis obliterans is a rare disease in which blood vessels of the hands and feet become blocked.
Buerger disease
Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger disease) is caused by small blood vessels that become inflamed and swollen. The blood vessels then narrow or become completely blocked by blood clots (thrombosis). Blood vessels of the hands and feet are especially affected. Arteries are more affected than veins. Average age when symptoms begin is around 35. Women and older adults are affected less often.
This condition mostly affects young men ages 20 - 40, who are heavy smokers or chew tobacco. Only 1 of 10 patients are women. Many patients also have very poor dental hygiene, likely due to tobacco use.
This disorder is very uncommon in children. It can occur in children with autoimmune diseases .
The following tests may show blockage of blood vessels in the affected hands or feet:
Blood tests for other causes of inflamed blood vessels (vasculitis) and blocked (occlusion of) blood vessels may be done. These causes include diabetes , scleroderma , and atherosclerosis . In rare cases when the diagnosis is unclear, a biopsy of the blood vessel is done.
There is no cure for thromboangiitis obliterans. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms and to prevent the disease from getting worse.
The patient must stop using tobacco. It is also important to avoid cold temperatures and other conditions that reduce blood flow in the hands and feet.
Applying warmth and exercising gently can help increase circulation.
Aspirin and medications that open the blood vessels (vasodilators) may help. In severe cases, surgery to cut the nerves to the area (surgical sympathectomy) can helpcontrol pain.
If the area becomes so infected that tissue dies, it can be necessary to amputate the fingers or toes.
Symptoms of thromboangiitis obliterans may disappear if the person stops tobacco use. Persons who continue to use tobacco may need repeated amputations of affected fingers or toes.
Call your health care provider if:
Persons with a history of Raynaud disease or blue, painful fingers or toes, especially with ulcers, should not use any form of tobacco.

Spring Training comes to Cooperstown
When Hall of Famer Pee Wee Reese saw Alex Traube's photographs, he claimed the images "captured something about Spring Training – about baseball in general – which is recognizable and true to anyone who has spent time in training camps and ballparks."
This year, the Baseball Hall of Fame Library has an extra special reason to celebrate the return of Spring Training. Photographer Alex Traube donated the images he shared with Reese to the Museum's permanent photographic collection. Traube's donation consists of 79, 11 x 14 inch, black and white photographs depicting Grapefruit League Spring Training in Florida in 1978, 1979 and 1980. And Pee Wee was right: The images truly capture the character of spring training.
Traube had press access to training venues, "but was entirely on my own in terms of who and what I shot," he said.
Traube used his creativity and skill with a camera to create a portfolio of work that is remarkable both for its aesthetic quality and content. He took informal portraits of players sitting in the dugout, warming up before a game, or hanging out by the batting cage. He captured players being interviewed or photographed by the media, or signing autographs for fans. The photographs show games in progress and batting practice. Traube photographed fans in the stands wearing the striking plaids and checks particular to the era. He depicted teammates lined up across the field hats over hearts for the playing of the National Anthem, kilted marching bands, and members of a color guard rehearsing.
The photographs provide an inside view into day-to-day events at spring training, and express the flavor of preseason from an earlier decade. Reese wrote that the images "present us with a portrait of the rituals which are an everyday reality to the players."
Traube's photographs are now part of the Hall of Fame's collection of more than 500,000 images, documenting every aspect of the game of baseball. They join hundreds of other photographs depicting Spring Training from the early 20th Century to the present.
Jenny Ambrose is the curator of photographs at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

I liked this article. It brought to light some history I was unaware of. Question , Did Alex T take any Spring Training pictures of Misters: Koufax, Drysdale, Wills, Alston?
I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of
your site? Its very well written; I love what youve
got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful
lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Great blog you have here.. It's difficult to find quality writing like yours these days.
I really appreciate people like you! Take care!!
Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform
are you using for this site? I'm getting tired of WordPress because I've had
issues with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform.
I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a
good platform.
I absolutely love your site.. Pleasant colors & theme.
Did you make this web site yourself? Please reply back as I'm planning to create
my own personal blog and would love to know where you
got this from or exactly what the theme is named. Thanks!
Greetings! Very useful advice within this post!
It is the little changes that will make the most significant
changes. Many thanks for sharing!

Good food, welcoming people and striking landscapes invite the visitors to discover this country in the westernmost point of Europe. Bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal has a Mediterranean climate, with average temperatures between 7 and 18 degrees. Along the coastline, with over 2000 km, divided amongst the mainland territory and the islands you may find extensive sand beaches and cliffs plunging into the sea.
Located in the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal is bordered by Spain to the north and east, and bordering south and west you will find the Atlantic Ocean. The Archipelagos of Madeira and Azores, as well as the mainland territory comprise an extensive coastline of over 2000 km, filled with long sandy beaches and wild hideouts amongst the cliffs. The Mediterranean climate offers the visitors warm temperatures, with an annual average between 13 and 18 degrees. In the north of country you will feel the coldest temperatures, as in the cities of Guarda, Bragança, Vila Real and Viseu, where the snow will invite you on a short trip to the "Serra da Estrela" (Mountain range) or the stunning views of Gerês. During summer the population heads south, to the long sandy beaches of the Algarve and the Alentejo Coast, where thermometers can reach 40 degrees. Portugal has approximately 10 million inhabitants. Over 3 million are concentrated in the capital region, Lisbon. Their strong and delicious gastronomic traditions oblige you to try some of these delicacies. It is mandatory to try dry cod (with hundreds of recipes), discover the excellent wines (red, white and rosé), that are produced in almost the entire Portuguese territory. Become sinful, and delight yourself tasting the tempting conventual pastries and end your meal with an unforgettable glass of Port Wine.

Illegal Immigration & Interior Enforcement
Illegal Immigration & Interior Enforcement
Recent Activity
A timeline of all major U.S. immigration laws from 1790 - 2013.
A timeline of key immigration laws and policy developments between 1986 and 2013.
MPI has released a major study that describes and analyzes today's immigration enforcement programs, as they have developed and grown in the 25 years since IRCA launched the current enforcement era.
The U.S. government spends more on federal immigration enforcement than on all other principal federal criminal law enforcement agencies combined, allocating nearly $187 billion since 1986. This report traces the evolution of the immigration enforcement system, analyzing how programs and policies resulted in a complex, interconnected, cross-agency system.
The conference offers thoughtful, evidence-based law and policy analysis and discussion of cutting-edge immigration issues.
Join MPI as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas discusses the application process and policies that the agency has announced to implement the administration's deferred action program.
This fact sheet provides an estimate of the number of DREAMers—unauthorized immigrants potentially eligible for a two-year reprieve from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative—based on eligibility criteria outlined by the Department of Homeland Security. It also offers a detailed analysis of the demographic characteristics of prospective beneficiaries.
This report traces how the American public and the U.S. government have responded to the diversification of migrant streams and the increasing proportion of illegal immigration in recent decades. It outlines the anxieties triggered by this immigration, the policy response at the national and state levels, and the implications of the second generation over the long run.

St. John's Center of Excellence in Orthopaedics
The St. John's Center of Excellence in Orthopaedics, an important quality initiative lead by orthopaedist Angus "Gus" Goetz, DO., was launched in early 2011 after much research and planning including visits to top orthopaedic programs across the U.S.
Years of Experience
In addition to serving as the Medical Director for the Center of Excellence, Dr. Goetz has practiced orthopaedic medicine for twenty years and currently is Chief of Surgery at St. John's Medical Center. "We started the Center of Excellence to offer a better program than other hospitals relative to quality, compassionate care and superior outcomes," Dr. Goetz explains. "It's important to us that patients from the community feel confident about their choice to have surgery locally, with all the benefits of being close to home."
"We are focusing initially on our total joint replacement program for hips, knees and shoulders," explains Dr. Goetz. "We have enhanced the entire experience, from patient education prior to surgery through the surgery stay and the patient's integration back into home, work and community life." While the program was designed using standards set by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, it was customized by St. John's to meet the unique needs of the Jackson Hole community.
A Team Approach
The team approach is a key feature of the Center of Excellence model. Surgeons, nurses and professionals from Surgical Services and other hospital departments are on the Center of Excellence team. Through a robust patient education component, patients have the opportunity to meet the staff who will care for them through the entire joint replacement process: surgeon, education, nursing, rehabilitation and social services. Arrangements for nursing and rehabilitation post-surgery are provided. All orthopaedic surgeons on the St. John's Medical Center staff had a role in the development of the Center of Excellence and are eligible to participate. Regardless of your choice of surgeon, all orthopaedic surgeries performed at the hospital have followed the new quality initiatives for joint replacement procedures since the new program was implemented.
Other Major Features
Other major features of the Center of Excellence program include:
• The use of clinical pathways re-designed to ensure consistency in quality and risk reduction for all patients
• An emphasis on blood clot and infection protection
• New "checklists" in the pre-operative, surgical and post-surgical arenas
• Advanced analgesic methods
• Better patient comfort with designated patient rooms, specific new beds and other enhancements
Patient Education and Empowerment
While many of the program's benefits happen behind the scenes, patient education and empowerment can make the greatest difference. For the best surgical experience, patients are encouraged to attend one the two-hour workshops offered by St. John's Medical Center's Orthopedic Center of Excellence.

Wool diaper covers and wool diaper wraps are the only diaper covers that are composed of all natural, antifungal, wear-resistant fibers. Wool is soft, breathable, and absorbent, keeping baby cool in the summer months and warm in the winter months.
Though wool cloth diaper covers and wool diaper wraps are NOT waterproof, they are water-resistant and untreated wool can asorb more than one-third its weight in moisture before it begins to feel wet; an awesome attribute for a cloth diaper cover most loved for effective night time diapering.
Although not as trim as waterproof diaper covers, wool diaper covers, like the Aristocrat Wool Soaker allow for air circulation to maintains baby's natural body temperature, reducing the heat that triggers bacterial growth, which in turn leads to diaper rashes.
This type of diaper cover does require a bit more attention when it comes to washing, drying and lanolizing - we recommend a few wool care products like Eucalan Wool Wash. It also helps to rotate a minimum of three diaper covers or wool diaper wraps in your cloth diaper cover stash.

The College News Vol. XVII, No. 19 WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR, PA� WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1931 / Price: 10 Cent* Excavations in Asia Minor Are Described Orientalist Shows Moving and Stereopticon Pictures of Anatolia. LOCATE NOMAD REMAINS M. Carey Thomas Award to Go to Jane Addams On Tuesday, April 14, 1931, Dr. Von der Osten, of the Oriental Institute, explorer and excavator, spoke in Good- hart Hall on the subject of* the. exca- vations in Hittite, Asia Minor, in which he has collaborated during the past four or five years. The greater part of the lecture was accompanied by moving pictures of the archaeologist's camp, of their finds and, principally, of the excavating and excavations them- selves. In introduction, a chart giving the age and depth of the settlements uncovered was shown. At the close, stereopticon pictures of typical exam- ples of pottery of neolithic to modern times were thrown on the screen. Dr. Von der Osten, who is German, spoke in English very well but with some accent and slowly (especially dur- ing the not infrequent pauses resulting �from trouble with the stereopticon and moving pictures). Asia Minor, Dr. Von der Osten began by explaining, is a bridge con- necting the Mediterranean with the Far East. Through it many people have come from the North traveling eastwards. All of them have left re- mains. Mounds of the deposits of many settlements are to be found. In these mounds years are measured by fractions of inches. The mounds which Dr. Von der Osten excavated are in Anatolia., The remains of the most recent settlements, modern Armenian, Turkish, Seljuk, Byzantine and Roman, are easily dis- tinguished. The remains just below these (200-700 B. C.) are of settlements on three different sites. This compli- cates considerably the ascertaining of dates. Constant checking and re- checking of specimens from different parts of the excavations is necessary. The specimens consist mostly of pot- tery, although a few pieces of jewelry and some neolithic wooden implements have been found. Common examples of pottery are the big jars in which the dead were put for burial. In order that all pottery may be ascribed to its proper period the excavations are kept very neat. At the end of each day's work every fragment is removed to leave the field clear for the next day's work. From fragments, with infinite patience, original vessels are recon- structed. The Turkish government has allowed the expedition a very fair share of its finds. The remains of from 1600-1200 B. C. are those of the New Hittite Empire. These are the earliest Iron Age re- mains. Below them lie what is left of Continued on Pago Foiir In 1922 the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr College raised $25,000 in honor of President M. Carey Thomas. This sum was to be held in trust and the interest was to be awarded at in- tervals as a prize of $5000 to an Ameri- can woman who "has achieved emi- nently" and who "has opened the way to a fuller life for all women." The prize was first awarded in June, 1922, to M. Carey Thomas, Ph.D., LL.D., L.H.D., Dean of Bryn Mawr College from 1884 to 1894 and' Presi- dent from 1894 until her retirement in 1922. This year the prize is being awarded for the second time to Jane Addams. Miss Addams lived and went to college in the Middle West. She began work- ing among the poor of Chicago and with a small house started the settle- ment that has since grown to be Hull House. She formed bonds not only with the people for whom she was working, but also with the most in- teresting people in Chicago. She underwrote, at great cost to herself, women's ideas on_ji�ac� and democ- racy in days when the holding of such ideas caused an unpleasantness which it took courage to face. On the committee in charge of the award are: Miss Cecilia Beaux,'Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Miss Rosamund Gilder, Mrs. C. Townsend Ludington, Miss M. Carey Thomas, Mrs. Thomas Raeburn White, Mrs. Edmund Beecher Wilson and the Chairman, Miss Marion Edwards Park. The prize is to be presented to Miss Addams on Satur- Contlnued on Face Five Calendar Wednesday, April 22: Halide E d i b, Turkey's foremost woman, speaks in Goodhart Auditorium on "Turkey Faces West."

Twelfth Night,' a Poor Choice, Not Popular Simplicity of Scenery Focuses Attention on Lines Weil- Spoken by Cast. SHOW IS AMATEURISH Sir Philip Ben Greet's theory that "the stage should stimulate and in- spire rather than relieve the imagina- tion" has been a password to his many successful performances of Shakespeare in England and America. Whether the average Bryn Mawr student's imagi- nation is incapable of stimulation or whether we all look for relief on the stage late Friday night is a question, but certainly "Twelfth Night" did not meet with the enthusiasm which Sir Philip's productions are wont to in- spire. One set of drapes, several arrange- ments of a few simple benches and .a table sufficed for the scenery through- out the play, which enabled the audi- ences to give its entire attention to the lines. The strongest side of the Ben Greet players was their extraordinary ability in the art of speaking. Their diction and inflection was such as to satisfy the most exacting taste. There really was no exception to the proficiency in the art of speaking in the Ben Greet players, and, as is true of most English companies, the minor supporting parts were admirably taken. For that matter the principal roles were exceedingly well enacted with one exception. Unfortunately the unosten- tatious scenery threw so much respon- sibility on the players that there was bound to be a disclosure of the weak spot in the cast. Still more unfortu- nately, this weakness was concentrated in one of the leads, in whom any slight departure .from grace seemed grotesque, �>� and whom we hope was merely poor' cast. Sir Philip gave an interpretation of the self-loving Malvolio which only a true actor and an authority on Eliza- bethaifDrama could give. Sir Toby and Sir Andrew were admirably done in truly Shakespearian manner. Miss Enid Clark as Olivia supplied any decorativeness which the scenery may Continued on I'age Three B. M. Sends Delegate * to Barnard Meeting Last week-end, April 18 and 19, rep- resentatives from the undergraduate bodies of Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith. Vassar and Wellesley gathered in New York at the invitation of Barnard to discuss how undergraduates might further the work of the Alumnae, Committee of Seven Colleges.

SPEAKING IS INFORMAL VIEWS IMPERIALISTIC ��---------------------�� � Randolph Churchill, son of Winston Churchill, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer of England, told his opinion on the British Empire and World Peace, Monday evening, April 13, at the Library in Bryn Mawr. He is nineteen years old, fair-haired with blue eyes, and spoke with the colorful rhetoric and manners of his father. Using picturesque phrases and apt American slang from start to finish his reasoning followed the Churchill im- perialist lines. As a Conservative his speech was filled with invectives against the present ruling powers with slashing criticism of disarmament and "that sort of thing." His strongest point was the necessity of navies in order to defend ourselves and maintain world peace in the future as we have certainly done many times in the past. When' he was asked what place women had in politics, his answer was, "They have yet to prove their com- petence. Joan- of Arc was the only woman who ever proved herself capable of leading men, and she was a fanatic. A woman's influence is in- direct. As soon as she loses her charm by an attempt to become /nasculine, she loses her power." / Mr. Churchill has been'�in America for nine months and has found the Continued �n PliRe Four of Radcliffe. "In all the work the Alumnae Com- mittee has planned," Mrs. Eastman said, "no part of it has yet related to the student body in the colleges. This committee was founded by the presi- dents to bring the attention of the pub- lic to the needs and achievements of the women's colleges in or^ler that more generous endowment might flow from that, public into the coffers of the women's colleges. Alumnae have an important place in this appeal, for our presidents have said that if only 'every graduate would remember, when she makes her will, that she is a graduate, her alma mater would eventually have plenty of money. The place to begin this remembering is in college, at least this is the time to grow conscious of what one's college contributes to one's enjoyment of the whole of life. Al- most every one knows that no student pays in full for her edu<a1ioiTr~Th><vcn- dowments are essential to a collegCo the first rank.

She is in the choir and the Glee Club and was business manager of the Freshman Show. On Thursday, ApTil 16, 1931. Bryn Mawr began her maiden voyage (as far as we know) on the seas of debat- ing. Two members of Mr. McKean's class in Public Speaking and Debate faced an equal number of opponents from Haverford College across the platform of none other than our own dear Room F in Taylor. But if the battlefield was worthy the marshalling of such a splendid army, the cause was even more so, for, by concerning the position of women today, it touched vitally upon the question of college (in which we are, or have been at some time, interested). And that, gentle readers, was what started it all, and brought peace-loving Miss Clews and Mi-s Peterson out of their lairs to bristle at Mr. Grasimer and Mr. Rudge. N'ot that Miss Clews and Miss Peter- son bristled. Oh, no, we would not hare you think that*--' Rather, Miss - Clews and Miss Peterson purred, per- haps, .because of their size, possibly in- imitarton of a war-horse's battle snort. And their opponents purred back. Even-the audience, gathered in antici- pation of amicable combat, joined in the good, clean purr. When all the purring was over, Mr. McKean an- nounced the subject. Resolved: that the emergence of woman from the home is a depressing feature of mod- ern life. Bryn Mawr, he said, would take the negative. But that, of course, was to be expected. Miss Clews and Miss Peterson both being true daugh- ters of their Alma Mafer. There seemed, however, to have been a slight mistake as to the subject, as Mr. Grasimer observed upon commencing fire. We thought at first that he must be referring to the fact that he and his colleague had also taken the wrong side, for he began with an approval of woman's emergence from the home. We soon discovered, however, that it was all a snare and a delusion, a sub- jeyice to entrap the young. For when/Jfr. Grasimer thought he)>hnd gone far enough into the negative, he began to recede like a crab, and hav- ing retraced his steps to the zero point, then went on into the affirmative side, ' thus covering a lot of ground, and most of it-hit opponents'. In other words, after admitting the value, and in some cases even the necessity. Of woman's emergence from the home into artis- tic and commercial fields, Mr. Grasi- mer, and later Mr. Rudge, went on to say that woman's influence exerted from the home was an even greater one. We could not make out exactly how this was; we caught the words philosophic and social, and, surpris- ingly enough, something about the sanctity of motherhood. But per- haps we are prejudiced. At any rate, both gentlemen made their subject matter as painless as possible; their delivery, poised but natural was really quite superb, and was in perfect ac- with the informality and humor of the ipeeche*. The illustra-. tion-. whether original or not. were made exceptionally amusing.

1 rubbishseb88hr | 07/10/2013 | See all seb88hr's reviews (2)dont believe the hype. the only good thing about this game is the story which you dont really get paid for until the end but then youve got nothing apart from cars and guns to spend it on, properties are pointless you don't get anything from them like when on vice city you bought a car sales garage you got special cars as a reward only money which is basically useless. theirs not a lot of modifications you can do e.g hair, tattoos, clothes, cars. no low-riders, no gangland adventures the map is rubbish mostly plain hills with nothing on them if you compare it to red dead redemption which felt like a real country very picturesque. i feel Ive paid for gta iv but with a new map really disappointing considering what titles rockstar have made between this one and gta iv
5 Los Santos baby!stevie31 | 30/09/2013 | See all stevie31's reviews (39)Look to be honest this is a excellent game,the whole setback of the city out to the desert and countryside is stunning and keeping the framrates high is full credit to you rockstar! There is some minor glitches like popups here and there thats cuz of the amount of detail but a few seconds and its gone! The whole new mechanics of shooting is changed so just click onto and shoot and the driving is more realistic and damage to your cars is incredible! The detail to your character is excellent to from facial reactions and movement when falling to fighting to running etc and the storyline is very funny and excellent to! The graphics are excellent but heres the warning do not and i repeat do not let a child play this game the language,voilence and content is really strong! But other than that enjoy the ride in Los Santos!

Absolutely amazing game, the best of the series so far. I'm glad they've gone back to a bit of the San Andreas approach because that game, too, was awesome. GTA IV was way too serious and became worse as it went on. This game has the opposite: it just gets better and better! BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I was looking for stats on how many atheists were once theists of some type or another (still haven;t found it-- so could use some help) and I found this page.
I thought it was interesting in the fact they try to keep Christians aware of logical fallacies..
I know how we feel about religion already, what I'm wondering are your views on this primer for converting atheists...
Doritos makes a lot of sense. Much like American Jesus, these chips sound like something which could be Mexican based on the name, but is really just a bastardization made to appease white folks. Not saying I don't eat them though. Er... Doritos, not Jesus crackers.
First of all, the "wikiHow" article proceeds with the unstated assumption that we atheists are just misguided folk who need to see the truth. There seems to be no awareness that faith and truth are not synonymous.
Secondly, most of what is prescribed could just as well be a guide for atheists to convert theists; but of course, the authors don't realize that, because, since they "know" the truth already, they believe that the process they prescribe will lead logically to theism. In other words, they make the fallacious assumption that what they consider rational discourse will naturally convert an atheist. Yeah, right!
Thirdly, the article lacks consistency. On the one hand, it suggests that a close examination of logic and science will lead to the "truth;" on the other hand, it quotes the Bible to make an argument. If the Bible held the "truth," there would be no necessity to bring science or logic into it. And vice versa. The fact that they use both tactics, which are 100% incompatible, hints at desperation. The author says, "Realize that human theories are not evidence whether God exists or not." In point of fact, human scientific theories are powerful evidence that God does NOT exist. There is no scientific theory that points to even the possibility of God - NONE!
The author uses the word "ideal" to describe what he accepts as the perfection of the Earth. The Earth - PERFECT? Far from it. If it were perfect, 99.99% of all the species of life that ever existed would not be extinct. Species, as we speak would not be daily becoming extinct. And the few surviving species that exist today would not be struggling so pathetically to survive. The evidence strongly suggests, they won't. WE won't! Not my idea of "perfect."
At one point, the author says, "human brains work with faith, opinion and many other things than just intellectual/theoretical logic." What he is saying, of course, is that faith and opinion are of equal validity with science when judging what is true. Actually, science is a method of searching for truth. Faith and opinion are lazy ways of avoiding that search.
I have been confronted by just about every imaginable strategy to get me to accept the concept of God or gods, and none of them has made a dent. At the same time, although I've never consciously attempted to convert anyone to atheism, I still caused, through intellectual osmosis, I guess, three friends to seriously question the validity of their theism, simply though the process that this article lays out.
Bottom line: this approach is pretty much what I confront when J.W.'s come 'a callin'. And it is an utter failure as a strategy with me, as I'm sure it is with all true atheists.
I love it when christians try to convert me. I especially like it when they use the method prescribed in the article as they are at least intelligent enough to realise that frontal assaults will not work.
I, however, go on the offensive, without offence of course, and question their faith and beliefs a lot harder than they question my knowledge and understanding of the universe, using similar methods. The question I usually start with is 'Do you really believe the story of Adam and Eve? About talking snakes and a piece of fruit that we buy in the grocery store making us self aware? God makes Adam from clay then makes Eve from one of his ribs, what's that all about?' The answer is usually no, thankfully, and that's when I really go to town on why they believe any of it, pulling apart religious commands, miracles and inconsistencies until they either give up or begin to see the truth for what their bible really is.
A couple of years back a man was calling door to door after school time but before parents got home from work, talking to teenagers about religion. I had a few days off work to finish some decorating and answered the door. The man asked if my children were in, asking for them by name. He was in his forties and I immediately became suspicious. My daughter was 17, my son 16 at the time.
He explained he was spreading the word of god and so I invited him in to talk with all of us as I wanted to hear what he had been saying to my children. I will not go into the whole charade but my children were almost busting a gut trying not to laugh by the time the very flustered and red faced missionary almost ran from my house. I was very polite and discussed everything in a very calm and collected manner. I did raise an eyebrow at a few of the things he said and asked "You really believe that? Are you sure?" a few times.
He had called before and my son knew him, he sometimes gave sermons at his school. My son was 5' 10" and a brown belt at ju jitsu at the time so I was not overly worried they had let him talk to them previously, but they had not been able to get him off the doorstep the last time he had called. He obviously thought he had a chance and called to talk to them again...he never called back after that though. Still, it cheered up my afternoon and I went back to painting with a lighter heart.
Actually, I miss Betty and John, my two Jehovah's Witlesses, who stopped coming by, Betty was kinda cute, in a religious sort of way --
well if the Christians all start learning how to do brain surgery so they can safely remove the part of the human brain responsible for logic, rational thinking, curiosity and free/individual thinking, then they might have something going for them.
Brain surgery seems hardly needed, all the 'higher functions' can be compromised by just simple 'under use'.
In regards to 'tricking' Atheists into going to church, I once was a member of a church where the senior pastor privately told me that it's easy to keep someone coming back to a church. All one needed to do was to give them a job, or give them a friend. In hindsight, I realized I was given a lot of jobs in that church!
Exploiting a weakness works for both Christian churges and Scientology.
Sure you can keep them coming back... but that doesn't mean they believe.
I take it that you had no friends?
I have found that independent thought does not always yield deep friendships. This might be a blind spot .....
An example of how one's deep religious belief of social superiority to that of, "unbelievers" distorts the ability to recognize the whole truth. C'mon now, really think about that one. No true and deep friendship if you're not a believer? Lol. Not a believer in your religion, you mean. Lol.
Not sure but of late atheist numbers are growing and the religions are falling. Moreover recent stats show that atheists are more knowledgeable on the scriptures, not being brainwashed every Sunday by the preacher trying to omit or spin scripture to suit their Church's agenda. Be aware Christians do the same in pointing out their own logic and their own ideas about perceived fallacies regarding atheist thinking.
My dad knew the Bible inside-out, upside-down and backwards and in the early 70's when it was common for the local preacher to stop by your house on Sat to sell their Church, etc. My dad would sit 'em at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and dismantle 'em, every one. Ruthless, the preacher never faced an atheist who knew the Bible better than they.
Or merely consider the outcome from all the clashing beliefs/religions. None of them can really sit together and agree, though they put on a façade of agreement in front of public view as all Christian, etc. But most all atheists can certainly agree and sit together worldwide.
Science, the whole truth is functional for all people. This is why an atheist is an atheist, because it works everywhere and for all. But the religious believer is stuck in a very limited box of thinking, unable to look beyond the trap of their Satanic fear based beliefs.

Lichborne: Grab some new patch 4.2 pre-raid gear for your death knight
With patch 4.2 live, raiders have the Firelands raid to get through, but casual players and non-raiders need not despair. You have your own little patch of Firelands to tackle, with a robust set of dailies that have the potential to unlock new gear upgrades. This week, we're going to take a look at those gear upgrades, as well as some other stuff you can do to get your gear upgraded without killing a single boss in the new Firelands raid. Most of the stuff we'll be discussing is ilevel 365, which means it's only barely an upgrade (or possibly even a sidegrade) from ilevel 359 stuff -- but if you're still wearing ilevel 333 or 346 stuff, this should mean a pretty big leap in power for you.

BradaoOfCartha wrote:Name: Akisame Shiraha
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Villiage: Haganakure originally, now Amegakure
Rank: about to graduate AS, fresh Genin (Gm decide)
Personality: Very shy, but in battle but will change personality, depending on the main sword he is using. He is actually a closet poet, and when he opens up to a person, will talk to them normally, and even recite some poems.
He loves his 7 swords as if they are his own family. (They pretty much are) He also has a split personality, depending on which sword he holds, or is closest too him, without them, he shuts off the entire outside world.
Appearence: He has long spiky red hair, stands at 4'11, has green eyes, and is very pale. He wears Brown Gloves, a Red and White v-neck shirt, under a small pale yellow men's kimono. He wears a pair of black sandals, and cloth leggings. He also has a large yellow belt around him on his shoulder.
Talented vs. Experienced: Talented
Talented: Your character will only start with 25 stat points, however the potency of your characters natural ability/ bloodline limit will be more so than the experienced. Examples of the natural abilities/blood line limits afforded to the talented include: Mangekyo sharingan, greatly enhanced intelligence, greatly enhanced perception, so on.
0-no skill, 1-3 poor, 4-6 average, 7-10 exceptional, 11-> mastery
(Putting a zero means your character is incapable of performing that skill. For example, putting zero points in chakra control means your character cannot mold chakra. You must put at least 1 point in health /chakra)
Health/Chakra: 5
Chakra Control: 5
Taijutsu: 3
Ninjutsu: 3
Genjutsu: 1
Tools/Weapons: 8
Natural Ability: (Enhanced Knowledge) Thanks to his...unfortunate circumstances, he has been given access to more knowledge than he normally would (be allowed(?)). He (has) also (been) given much more talent with blades, (but) is burdened with the knowledge and has terrible headaches when thinking too much. ((Entire sentence edit)So much that he will pass out from them). Each of the swords he carries contains a whole person's thoughts and feelings, allowing him access to all of them(Them? Meaning; personalities, skills, knowledge, abilities?).
Issui Ittou (Water Blade): Using his chakra to control water, he can create a blade of water, which he can launch at high speeds, (able to deflect most projectiles (Needs an explanation for this bit, If it functions like a blade, and has a physical presence, it should be able to deflect most things and this bit is unecessary.) ), and has the power of a large kunai.
(Tokkan massugu (I'll admit I don't know much about the japanese language, but this phrasing seems incorrect. "Massugu Tokkan" seems like it makes more sense.) ) (Straight lightning attack): By charging his sword with chakra, he can use it to shoot lightning, or stab the ground to send the current through the ground, ( (Complete Section edit) it loses strength at longer ranges).
Background: Akisame originally lived in Haganegakure, with his caring mother, Hyomu, his protective father, Tenka, his outgoing older sister, Kasumi, his two rowdy brothers, Hirashin and Raiden, his (goofy) female cousin, Hisame, and his secretive uncle Rakurai. He was a happy boy, learning to use swords and become a talented ninja. Until one day when he was 7, his family was attacked, he was the only one left alive, each of his family member's swords laid on the ground. He sat in the corner looking at the (ANBU) that had left them near death with hatred in his eyes. So he grabbed his Iron Umbrella and attacked, but the mysterious (ANBU) stopped him, "You have quite the talent, perhaps you could be a legendary swordsman one day." The man said. Akisame couldn't stop crying. "Bring them back, please!" He yelled. The Anbu said, "Okay, but (there) are some curses added to this." (This makes little sense, being more vague and saying it comes with a price would fit genre better) and through a forbidden Jutsu, he sealed them inside of their swords. The ANBU left Akisame alone then as Akisame sat and began to cry himself to sleep, thinking the man had left no trace of them left. It began to rain on his house afterwards. When he woke up he grabbed his mother's sword and hugged it. He then heard his mother's voice, "Don't cry, we're here for you." He heard her say. "(Take up) the others, keep us safe, and you will never be alone." she said. He did as he was told, and found each of the swords spoke to him, but only one at a time. He then tried to leave, looking for the (ANBU) that had done this, everywhere he went, a rain cloud would follow within 3 days, and if he stayed still it would grow until it covered an entire village. Eventually, he was banished, due to the damage he made with the rain, and now lives in Amegakure, so it doesn't seem any different than normal.
(I hope this is okay with you, I can change anything needed.)

Don't you think the whole evil-white-American-males subjugate the nice-poor-savage-hippies for nothing but greed plots are just a weensy bit played out? Not even a little bit tired of being told how bad you are? *shrugs* The plot just didn't serve up anything new or interesting, IMO.
