No. 13 BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1923 Price 10 Cents IMPORTANT EXHIBIT TO BE IN GYMNASIUM Physical Welfare Exhibits From Many Colleges and Health Organizations Planned Devoted solely to various aspects of physical welfare organization, achievement, and opportunity! will be the exhibition held in the gymnasium from January 31 until February 8. Actual physical demonstra- tions will Id- staged and there will be on view exhibits from many colleges, indus- trial plants, and physical welfare organi- zations. The gymnasium will be hung around with the exhibits: posters, charts, pictures, bulletins, etc.,-illustrating many phases of the work. On two of the days not yet determined, the Model School, will give a' demonstration of gymnastic work and euryhthmics liefore the children's parents. In addition, some physical training work may be done by college students, to show the work of the more advanced classes. Vassar, Wellesley and Barnard will all send exhibits, for all have been experi- menting in various ways. Barnard has re- cently worked out a series of physical effi- ciency tests which includes medical, mental and physical ratings. At Vassar the stu- dents of the Economics Department have made statistics of the physical training work. Finally not the least interesting in this class of exhibits will be the Bryn Mawr posture charts, giving examples from the / present Freshman and Sophomore classes, and contrasting good and bad post- ures based on the physical examination drawings. "Junglegym" to be Shown Many of the exhibits will be from the children's organizations,' such as the Na- tional Child Welfare Association, the Child Health Organization, American Posture League, and Dr. Grenfell. These will show the results of investigations and what has been accomplished in physical welfare work. From Dr. Grenfell there will be posters showing the part taken by Bryn Mawr people in Dr. Emerson's highly im- portant nutrition work in Labrador. An- other exhibit will be of the "Junglegym.' This is an apparatus, rather like a larg^-, CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 NEW COURSE IN HYGIENE TO COME NEXT SEMESTER Lectures Given Every Week Will Treat Subject Fully The new Hygiene Course to be required of everyone taking Second Year English except for those who attended Dr. Drink- er's lectures last year, was the subject of Dean Bontecou's talk in chapel last Friday morning. The "Dean explained that the Jecturcs have been grouped into three sections and will come every Monday during the hour left free in the English course. Failure to pass an examination in Hygiene set bv President Park and a special committee will involve a repetition of the lectures next year. It will be possible for anyone wishing to do so to attend all or any of the different lectures as a hearer. The first section of the course will con- sist of six lectures on Personal Hygiene or Applied Physiology given by Dr. Yatcs in the Biology lecture room. Dr. Martha Tracy, Dean of the Women's Medical Col- lege, will deliver the "seventh lecture on the subject of nutrition. Dr. Drinker, who gave the entire course in hygiene last year, COUNCIL TO CHOOSE COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS CURRICULUM An unofficial committee of studejit.s. for discussing and suggesting changes in the .curriculum will soon be appointed by the undergraduate ^members of- the College Council, who met last week to dciil craU itpiri JURKCStcd member*. It was decided that the work of this committee will be to formulate into some kind of systematic report the complaints and suggestions of the whole student body, and to give force to their proposals by a careful study of the problems both here and at other colleges. F. Martin, '23, President of the Undergraduate Association, will be Chairman. The Council felt that the three questions of greatest importance would be the matters of required courses, quizzes, and honors with the degree. " * '. The idea of student suggestion in regard to matters of the curriculum orig- inated in the last Council meeting, when President Park spoke of the Ideal curricu- lum drawn up by the undergraduates of Mount Holyoke. VARSITY BASKET BALL TAKES TWO VICTORIES Two Successful Games in One Week Start Off Season. Team Plays Brilliantly � BRYN MAWR JUNIOR HAS CHANCE FjR MX IAL TRAINING Grace Carson Describes "Junior Month" at Charity School CONTIrrtfED on rmjC-J \ \J (Specially contributed by Grace A. Carson, '23) Five years ago, convinced that the col- lege undergraduate would profit by a sur- vey of the field of Social Work, the New York Charity Organization Society insti- tuted "Junior Month." A member of the Junior Class of each of the Eastern col- leges, Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Connecticut, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Swarth- morc," Vassar, Wellesley, and Wells is chosen by a faculty-student committee. During the month of July they are the gucsts'of the "C. O. S." in New York, and last summer we lived in the Finch School. Two and a half days a week we spent at lectures and various excursions of in- quiry on the practical side. The lectures sun planned to give us a panoramic view of the whole subject of social welfare? We considered the problems of Housing and Welfare, the Mental Defective, Immigra- tion, Industry, Work with the Handicapped and especially the case work method ol dealing with social problems.- We visited various institutions including Sing Sing, the Workmen's Compensation Commission, Orphanages, and Ellis Island. The last was by far the most interesting since we arrived just as a Liverpool boat came in. Then, too, we had opportunity to "browse" in the Russell Sage Library and collect our experiences and look up those which most impressed us. The other three days we did or attempted to do family case work in the individual districts. That sort of work appealed to most of us more,�perhaps because it was least academic but more probably it satis- fied a conceit, in making us think we ac- complished something worth while�that we didn't just absorb impressions, but pro- duced an idea now and again. When you are given a slip from which you derive CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS EXPLAINED BY MISS PARK Two 'Points Have Been Eliminated and No Conditions are Allowed ALUMNAE DINNER AND PLAY TO PRECEDE ANNUAL MEETING A luncheon to members of the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Association, given by Miss Park and the College Directors in Pem- broke on -Saturday, February 3, will follow the annual meeting of the Association, which will take place that morning at 10 o'clock in Taylor Hall. The Finance Committee hopes at this meeting to adopt a plan for a fund through which all alumnae contributions can be directed to the' most pressing financial needs of the College, according to advice from the Alumnae office. This new project will be discussed on Friday evening, at a dinner in Rockefeller Hall open to all Alumnae. A short play arranged by Serena Hand, '22, will be given in the Gymnasium that evening. The changes in the Collegen entrance re- quirements, upon which the faculty has recently decided, were the subject of I 'resident Park's talk in Chapel last Wednesday morning. Bryn Mawr has always stated twenty points as its requirement for entrance, she explained, but, if the points were counted as in other QaUflgtt, tlu-y would pnly amount tu seventeen. In English, Mathe- matics, and Physics, Bryn Mawr gives one more point than do other colleges for ex- aminations of equal difficulty. Besides these, however, Bryn Mawr requires two points which are actually more than those prescribed hy other colleges. Last year the Faculty Committee on En- trance Examinations worked to find some changes in the requirements which would bring the College an increasingly good set of students. Now, through the elimination of examinations in two minor subjects, which after long trial have proved to be of small value as a" foundation for the College curriculum, the faculty hopes to accomplish two things: first, to release time for more thorough preparation in the remaining subjects, so that no conditions need bo carried over into the first year of college; and, second, to make it possible for a greater variety of good schools'to prepare readily for Bryn Mawr. Bryn Mawr will continue to accept either her own or College Board examinations, President Park went on, but on account of the reduced number of examinations they may be hereafter taken in not more than two divisions and no students with con- ditions will be admitted. These require- ments will be optional in 1923 and obliga- tory in 1924, but minute arrangements have been made for students who have already offered preliminaries. "We think these are more intelligent re- quirements for entrance," she concluded, "because good students in almost any kind of school can now consider coming to Bryn Mawr, and future students will come into Bryn Mawr, unconditioned, with clear minds as regards their school work." ICE CROWDED LAST THURSDAY WHEN COURTS FIRST FLOODED The frozen tennis courts, transformed into a rough but popular rink, were crowded with skaters last Thursday after- noon as long as the ice lasted. M. Brown, '25, and E. Nichols, '26 proved their ability as fancy skaters, performing difficult figures, which showed that though the space was small it made no difference to those really skilled in the art. Others contented themselves with plain straight- forward stroke^ among whom was Miss Barrow, endeavoring to become proficient in one of the few sports she has never tried. Overwhelming the "Has-beens," a team of nearby roaches, with a score of 49-4, Varsity won the first game of the season iii't Wednesday night. They were \iclorious, . however, not so much on their own merit as,bccausc of the futile, though animated, playing of their opponents. A spirit of frivolity obsessed the players and despite a strict calling of VaTsity's fouls, the ball seemed bewitched, landing almost invariably in the sure and easy clutch of a Varsity player, though there was quick and intelligent passing be- tween F. Martin, '23, C. Remak. '25, and Helen Rice, '23. The forwards were slow. But their slower opponents cancelled the advantage they might have gained from this. Miss Adams, of the Has-Bcens, was especially active, and toward the end of the game her team took to passing higher, in this way sometimes getting over the heads of Varsity's two celebrated giants. A. Clcmenet. '23, was sure and deft as guard, and -M. Palache, '24, a very agile side- center. W. Dodd Stars in Second Victory The game on Saturday against the. Philadelphia Girls' Hockey Club Basket- ball team was a rather close victory for Varsity, 34-26. Miss Townsend alone, despite her indi- vidual^ game, kept Bryn Mawr hands full, and, had her team been accustomed to playing together, affairs might have taken a fatal turn. W. Dodd, '26, in her bap- tismal game, was most emphatically the star. She played a clear, game, using her head even more than Remak, '25, and this, together with her quickness and accuracy, more than made up for lack of practice with her team. The passing between Mar- tin, '23, who outshone even her usual bril- liant game, and E. Howe, '24, and C. Remak and W. Dodd, was quick and sure, Remak and W. Dodd, was quick and sure� 'tetter than last year's. The guards fouled with deplorable frequency. CONTINUED ON PACK 5 CONFERENCE OF COLLEGE WOMEN TO BE HELD IN PHILADELPHIA Psychologist-to Speak Here on Student Government Problems Miss Anne Hampton Todd. '02, and Miss Marion Reilly, '01, are the Bryn Mawr delegates to the annual conference of the North Atlantic section of the American Association of University Women, which is being held in Philadelphia from Friday, February 9, until the following Sunday. On- Saturday afternoon the meeting will be held at Bryn Mawr, when Dr. H. L Langfeld. professor of Psychology at Har- varcr University, will discuss the "Handling of Social Problems by Student Govern- ment," and Miss Ellis-Fermor, Oxford University, will speak on the "University Education for Women in England awl America." President Park will preside that evening at dinner at the Bellevue- Stratford, when the "Widening Oppor- tunities for Women" will be the topic for discussion. MihMiB L

In Special Reports this week's files cover: Scientists Report Finding a Lunar Cave Suitable for a Colony, Mars Tracks and Tubes, New Guinea UFO Sighting in 1959 and MUFON CMS Closed Case Statistics by Kristen Winslet
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena were spotted over: California, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington D.C. and Virginia.
UFOs were observed above the Atlantic Ocean, Canada, Czech Republic, Italy, Puerto Rico, and UK/England.
The purpose of these files is to report weekly the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when I was ordered to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. The US Air Force under Project Blue Book investigated UFOs for more than twenty years, we continue this research.
I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever increasing numbers.
Special Reports
Scientists Report Finding a Lunar Cave Suitable for Colony.
(CNN Reports) -- Building a home near a moon crater or a lunar sea may sound nice, but moon colonists might have a much better chance of survival if they just lived in a hole. That's the message sent by an international team of scientists who say they've discovered a protected lunar "lava tube" -- a deep, giant hole -- that might be well suited for a moon colony or a lunar base. The vertical hole, in the volcanic Marius Hills region on the moon's near side, is 213 feet wide and is estimated to be more than 260 feet deep, according to findings published in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.
More important, the scientists say, the hole is protected from the moon's harsh temperatures and meteorite strikes by a thin sheet of lava. That makes the tube a good candidate for further exploration or possible inhabitation, the article says. "Lunar lava tubes are a potentially important location for a future lunar base, whether for local exploration and development, or as an outpost to serve exploration beyond the Moon," writes the team, led by Junichi Haruyama, a senior researcher with the Japanese space agency JAXA.
"Any intact lava tube could serve as a shelter from the severe environment of the lunar surface, with its meteorite impacts, high-energy UV radiation and energetic particles, and extreme diurnal temperature variations."
Lava tubes have previously been discovered on the moon, but the scientists say the new hole is notable because of its lava shield and because it does not appear to be prone to collapse. Lava tubes exist on Earth and also have been found on Mars. The cylinder-shaped caverns can be carved out by lava flows, volcanic eruptions, seismic activity or ground collapse resulting from meteoroid strikes. The scientists used high-resolution images from a Japanese moon orbiter called SELENE to discover this lunar lava tube. NASA is reportedly working on plans to return to the moon by 2020 and to set up a temporary lunar colony. Thanks to http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/
Mars Tracks and Tubes
Richard Buchli D.V.M. writes, "Tracks located on Mars are 86 miles long located at 19-52N 167 W would indicate a large machine moving along the surface. Natural causes are unlikely".
The planet Mars makes its closest approach to Earth on January 27th when it's 99.3 million km away; it won't be this close again until 2012. Though this will be nothing like the opposition of August 2003, when Mars came within 56 million km. The planet peaks at magnitude -1.3 this month, just a little fainter than Sirius.

A human like figure found at 70 04 S 120-35E
Dr. Richard Buchli writes, "At 25 35 S 47 20 W This is a real find of tubes system five miles wide and about half mile high. Cities, structures, and rivers could all be inside these tubes. Don't you think the big tube is our most important find so far?"
Tubes can serve as a shelter from the severe environment of the lunar surface, with its meteorite impacts, high-energy UV radiation and energetic particles, and extreme diurnal temperature variations.

New Guinea UFO Sighting in 1959
PAPUA -- It is now 50 years since a 31-year-old Australian Anglican missionary William Gill, and 37 parishioners and staff made the best attested and least explained UFO sighting. Gill, who was priest in charge at Boianai, a large village on the mountainous north coast of Milne Bay province wrote "There had been quite a number of reports over the months from reliable witnesses."
"The peculiar thing about these most recent reports is that the UFOs seem to be stationary at beautiful Boanai or to travel from Boianai." "I myself saw a stationary white light twice on the same night." Gill wrote, Then the following night, on April 10, 1960, we at Boianai experienced about four hours of UFO activity, and there is no doubt whatsoever that they are handled by beings of some kind." "At times it was absolutely breathtaking. We saw a bright white light appearing in the northwestern sky, approaching the mission station, then hovering about 100 meters in the air."
Gill, Moi, another teacher, Ananias Rarata, and 35 other people who all later signed a confirming document, watched what they described as a large, disc-shaped, solidly constructed object, with a wide base tapering up to a higher deck, and with what appeared to be four legs beneath, and four brightly lit panels in the side. It occasionally emitted a shaft of blue light at a 45 degree angle. Then what they described as men emerged on to a deck on the top, four at most, but in various configurations. Artist's impression of the encounter by Australian missionary Father Gill. (credit: Brookesmith and http://www.ufoevidence.org)
Clouds, which were at about 600m, then eventually, obscured the vessel as it drifted higher. It had been stationary through most of the 25 minutes of this encounter. Gill then wrote his letter to Durie. That evening, the visitation returned in an extraordinary manner. He first saw it at 6.02 PM, as the sun was setting. Gill's account states: "We watched figures appear on top - four of them - no doubt that they are human."Two smaller UFOs were seen at the same time, stationary; one above the hills west, another overhead."On the large one, two of the figures seemed to be doing something near the centre of the deck . . . were occasionally bending over and raising their arms as though adjusting or setting up something."One figure seemed to be standing looking down at us (a group of about a dozen). I stretched my arm above my head and waved. To our surprise the figure did the same.
"Ananias waved both arms over his head then the two outside figures did the same."Ananias and self began waving our arms and all four now seemed to wave back. There seemed to be no doubt that our movements were answered. All mission boys made audible gasps (of either joy or surprise, perhaps both).
"As dark was beginning to close in, I sent Eric Kodawara for a torch and directed a series of long dashes towards the UFO. After a minute or two of this, the UFO apparently acknowledged by making several wavering motions back and forth.
"Waving by us was repeated and this followed by more flashes of torch, then the UFO began slowly to become bigger, apparently coming in our direction. It ceased after perhaps half a minute and came no further.
"After several minutes the figures apparently lost interest in us for they disappeared below deck. At 6.25pm two figures reappeared to carry on with whatever they were doing before the interruption. The blue spotlight came on for a few seconds twice in succession."The situation remained unchanged, so Gill returned to his regular routine and went to have his dinner at 6.30.By 7pm, the main object had moved slightly away and the observers went into the village church for evensong, as usual. By the time they emerged, at 7.45pm, visibility had become very limited with the sky covered in cloud. At 10.40 pm, Gill wrote, an "earsplitting" explosion woke up the mission-station inhabitants. Gill said it did not feel like a thunderclap.
Later, Gill said, he was always asked why he had reverted to his usual routine when there was a flying saucer apparently hovering overhead. This was partly because, he said, "there was nothing eerie or other-worldly about any of this. It was all so ordinary, as ordinary as a Ford car."It looked a perfectly normal sort of object, an Earth-made object. I realized, of course, that some people might think of this as a flying saucer, but I took it to be some kind of hovercraft the Americans or even the Australians had built. The figures inside looked perfectly human."
Gill's report caused quite a sensation at the time. The Defence Ministry deployed two RAAF officers to investigate. Although they found Gill "a reliable observer", they attributed the sightings to "natural phenomena". Thanks to Bob Chapman, Rowan Callick and The Australian Newspaper:

United States Sightings
California Tiny Grayish-Metallic Spheres
To understand what happened at 2:30 am on early Saturday morning, you have to understand what happened to me in 1989. I was renting a two bedroom Condo in North Dallas. I had a Roommate, Carole, who stayed in the Bedroom directly across the Living Room area from my Bedroom? I was walking out of my Bedroom around 1 PM and turned my eyes to the right and I heard this "Pop" sound and I see three grayish-metallic spheres fly right through the wall! They were three to four inches in diameter. I have 21/10 vision up close and I was only two feet away so I could see them so clearly. They were also flying in an elliptical pattern and I could see that the "Popping" sound was them literally expanding and contracting the wall as they went through it!!..I could even see that "Doppler Effect" colors kind of pooling on the surface of the spheres... My Roommate Carole was coming out of her room and saw something but was over ten feet away. I saw them for less than a second and they were gone.
Yesterday, I was in my bathroom and brushing my teeth and I hear that "Pop" sound again coming from the other room. Later, I was walking into my Living Room and I see two perfect symmetrical circles on my carpet in front of my bed !!!...They looked like "Crop Circles" and one even has what looks like a Star Map inside it and they are very close to the same diameter of the spheres I saw in 1989! I remembered that Crop Circles can have Radiation left behind and I am wondering if these are emitting some kind of toxic Radiation.....Could you please come and check them out with a Geiger Counter. Thanks to Cici and MUFON CMS
EL CAJON -- New Year's night 2010, just after 12:15 AM, I looked out my patio to see three red lights in a triangle formation low in the southern sky. It appeared to drift slowly west and one by one the lights dimmed and were gone. With high powered binoculars I could see the lights were still there but not visible to the naked eye. I'm sure many have seen this object that night.
SAN LUIS OBISPO -- On January 2, 2010, I was at home with my kid and went outside onto the back porch about 11 AM, and noticed a very odd out of place object in the sky above the mountains that face the direction of the ocean. The object was still and did not move for about five minutes and then suddenly it was gone!
MURRIETA -- We turned left down Mount Street and I looked back and an object was right behind us on December 6, 2009, at 1 PM. She looked back and speeded up and almost hit a white van The object was chasing us as we cane to my house. I jumped out as the car made a U turn and ran toward my house and saw the object hovering over a huge tree next to my house.
I haven't been able to sleep, and my brother told me that his friend was also chased by one the same night! It was round with white light's going back and forth but it didn't make a sound.. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Hawaii Bright Green Light
HONOLULU -- From a vantage point on a hillside facing the ocean beyond Waikiki on December 6, 2009, at 7:30 PM, I spotted a bright flash of green light at about the same altitude as my line of sight. The location was over the ocean, some distance offshore of Diamondhead or Waikiki/Honolulu area of Oahu. The green light flashed once, then streaked several miles to the left in a split second, flashed brightly once more, then went dark momentarily and flashed dimly once more before disappearing.
I watched the area for five more minutes but I didn't see another. I watched the area after this sighting and there were a number of commercial flights moving slowly across the sky with their characteristic small flashing white lights. The speed, color and movement pattern of man-made craft and UFOs are entirely different and as a former flight student, I would never possibly confuse the two.
I had another sighting ten years ago on the other side of the island of Oahu, over Kaneohe Bay of a green light and flight pattern similar too this recent one. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
Illinois Formation
FRANKFORT -- We spotted three lights in the sky not far from our home on December 5, 2009, at 5:55 PM. They stayed in a triangle formation for awhile and then changed with one of the lights moving further out and then back. Two of the lights stay in a line. Duration of the sighting was for 20 minutes. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director Http://Www.Ufocenter.Com/
Kentucky Rectangle and Lights
MAYFIELD -- On our way home from Paducah to Mayfield, on January 2, 2010, I noticed six orange lights gliding slowly in the sky just off the side of the highway. The lights appeared to be moving at a slow rate of speed. My wife, two children and I observed these lights for approximately 5 minutes or more. Several other cars pulled over on the highway in that area as well. The lights slowly faded out of sight one at a time beginning with the one at the tip of the chevron and ending with the last light. I was able to take the picture with my cell phone shortly before the lights started disappearing.
MURRAY -- I am a mother of two young children; on the night of December 5, 2009, at 9:06 PM, I went out on my back porch to smoke a cigarette and when I looked up I saw a dark rectangular shaped mass, but it had a slight point to the front center. Along the underside there were two perfectly aligned rows of 5 or 6 star-like lights. They traveled in perfect formation so I know that they were a part of a larger rectangular shaped object with two rows of light formations traveling erratically, using 90 degree turns and hovering in the sky... There was no noise, and because of the temperature and the hour I do not think it was a glider/parachute, etc.
I watched this object for a minute and thirty seconds. At first it glided closer to me in a very tight S pattern, making very sharp 90 degree turns. It was traveling South Southwest at a moderate speed, at one point it stopped completely and hovered above another duplex for a few seconds. I could tell because the lights were still and it looked to have one end lower down than the other, and that's when I saw the rows of dim lights. After it hovered a few seconds it rose straight up in the sky, I could still see the light formations on the bottom. It slowly started traveling southwest again, and then it disappeared completely. It moved like nothing I have ever seen. The sharp angles of its turns and the speed at which it rose straight up into the sky were completely foreign, not to mention how it disappeared right in front of me. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/
New Hampshire Triangle, Bright glowing lights
WOODSVILLE -- Saw a light formation in the sky of December 5, 2009, at 8 PM, the lights would turn on and brighten to high intensity. While this was happening, could see something being projected from the light source. It would fade to black and I could see the shape dimly in the sky. Then would it re-illuminate itself in a different position in the sky following the same pattern of lights and projections. Illuminations would last 3-5 seconds in each location. There was no sound at all. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.ufocenter.com/

What is thinking? What is the difference between thinking and thought? Thinking implies a progression of time. So perhaps it is equally important to define time. The word thinking is a verb, meaning something (the thinker) is doing something (thinking).
There is a dictionary-type correspondence between processes and formally-defined algorithms. The first is in the realm of the physical universe and the second is in the Platonic realm. This correspondence is like a bridge between the two. (Although Max Tegmark might say there is no essential difference between the two realms.)
Thinking is a process and thoughts are the outputs of algorithms (algorithms exist in the Platonic realm and may or may not be expressible in a natural language). PERHAPS we can identify (concrete) thinking with specific (abstract) algorithms or at least encode one by the other. With that identification made I can see how thinking can be viewed as something abstract.

As the GOP-controlled U.S. House of Representatives prepared to vote on repeal of the Affordable Care Act, the White House said a repeal bill would be vetoed.
As with previous votes, action by the House — scheduled for Thursday — to repeal President Barack Obama's signature healthcare policy likely will go nowhere because the Democratic Senate won't consider it. In a statement Monday, the White House Office of Management and Budget said Obama would veto a repeal bill "because it would cost millions of hard-working middle class families the security of affordable health coverage and care they deserve. It would increase the deficit and detract from the work the Congress needs to do to focus on the economy and create jobs."
In a statement, the OMB said repealing the Affordable Care Act would mean "marketplaces where Americans could compare private insurance plans and get tax credits to purchase them would not open."
"Tax credits for small business owners who cover their employees would be eliminated," the statement said. "States would lose substantial Federal assistance under Medicaid to provide coverage for the neediest Americans."
Repeal would mean insured Americans "would lose the benefits and protections they receive under the healthcare law," the OMB said.
It would take a GOP trifecta in the November elections — winning the White House and control of the Senate and retaining its majority in the House — to overturn the Affordable Care Act or at least defund portions of it, CBS News reported Monday.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last month the individual mandate, the heart of the healthcare law, is constitutional because it is a tax.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary tract. This article discusses UTIs in children.
The infection can affect different parts of the urinary tract, including the:
UTI - children; Cystitis - children; Bladder infection - children; Kidney infection - children; Pyelonephritis - children
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can occur when bacteria get into the bladder or the kidneys. These bacteria are common on the skin around the anus. They can also be present near the vagina.
Normally, there are no bacteria in the urinary tract. However, some things make it easier for bacteria to enter or stay in the urinary tract. These include:
UTIs are more common in girls. They may occur often around age 3, as children begin toilet training. Boys who are not circumcised have a slightly higher risk of UTIs before age 1.
Young children with UTIs may have a fever, poor appetite, vomiting, or no symptoms at all.
Most urinary tract infections in children only involve the bladder. If the infection spreads to the kidneys (called pyelonephritis), it may be more serious.
Symptoms of a bladder infection in children include:
Symptoms that the infection may have spread to the kidneys include:
A urine sample is needed to diagnose a UTI in a child. The sample is examined under a microscope and sent to a lab for a urine culture .
It may be hard to get a urine sample in a child who is not toilet trained. The test cannot be done using a wet diaper.
Ways to collect a urine sample in a very young child include:
If this is your child's first UTI, imaging tests may be done to find the cause of the infection or check for kidney damage. Tests may include:
These studies may be done while the child has an infection. Most often, they are done weeks to several months afterward.
Your health care provider will consider many things when deciding if and when a special study is needed, including:
In children, UTIs should be treated quickly with antibiotics to protect the kidneys. Any child under 6 months old or who has other complications should see a specialist right away.
Younger infants will usually stay in the hospital and be given antibiotics through a vein. Older infants and children are treated with antibiotics by mouth. If this is not possible, they may need to get treated in the hospital.
Your child should drink plenty of fluids when being treated for a urinary tract infection.
Some children may be treated with antibiotics for periods as long as 6 months to 2 years. This treatment is more likely when the child has had repeat infections or vesicoureteral reflux.
After antibiotics are finished, your child's health care provider may ask you to bring your child back to do another urine test. This may be needed to make sure that bacteria are no longer in the bladder.
Most children are cured with proper treatment. Most of the time, repeat infections can be prevented.
Repeated infections that involve the kidneys can lead to long-term damage to the kidneys.
Call your health care provider if your child's UTI symptoms continue after treatment, or come back more than twice in 6 months.
Call your health care provider if the child's symptoms get worse. Also call if your child develops new symptoms, such as:
To prevent recurrent UTIs, the health care provider may recommend low-dose antibiotics after the first symptoms have gone away.

Interstitial nephritis is a kidney disorder in which the spaces between the kidney tubules become swollen (inflamed). This can cause problems with the way your kidneys work.
Tubulointerstitial nephritis; Nephritis - interstitial; Acute interstitial (allergic) nephritis
Interstitial nephritis may be temporary (acute ), or it may be long-lasting (chronic ) and get worse over time.
The acute form of interstitial nephritis is most often caused by side effects of certain drugs.
The following can cause interstitial nephritis:
Interstitial nephritis can cause mild to severe kidney problems, including acute kidney failure . In about half of cases, people will have decreased urine output and other signs of acute kidney failure.
Symptoms of this condition may include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may reveal:
Common tests include:
Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. Avoiding medications that lead to this condition may relieve symptoms quickly.
Limiting salt and fluid in the diet can improve swelling and high blood pressure. Limiting protein in the diet can help control the buildup of waste products in the blood (azotemia ) that can lead to symptoms of acute kidney failure.
If dialysis is necessary, it usually is required for only a short time.
Corticosteroids or stronger anti-inflammatory medications such as cyclophosphamide can sometimes be helpful.
Most often, interstitial nephritis is a short-term disorder. In rare cases, it can cause permanent damage, including chronic kidney failure.
Acute interstitial nephritis may be more severe and more likely to lead to long-term or permanent kidney damage in elderly people.
Metabolic acidosis can occur because the kidneys aren't able to remove enough acid. The disorder can lead to acute or chronic kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease .
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of interstitial nephritis.
If you have interstitial nephritis, call your health care provider if you get new symptoms, especially if you are less alert or have a decrease in urine output.
In many cases, the disorder can't be prevented. Avoiding or reducing your use of medications that can cause this condition can help reduce your risk.

Finding the minimum information for military records
To find an individual's death date in a military pension record, you must at least know the veteran's name, the branch of service, such as Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, the state from which the veteran entered the service, and the war in which the veteran served. If the period of service was after 1916, you must also know entry and release dates, military ID number, Social Security number, whether an officer or enlisted, and date of birth. If you do not have the minimum information to find a military record, you can either: Get help finding some of the minimum information by selecting the following item, click the Back button on your browser to return to the list of other places where you can find death dates, or read the paragraphs below for a few additional tips. Finding military records If you aren't sure of the military branch or of the approximate time when the veteran served, look for military memorabilia an photos taken in uniform. These items can give you the information you need. Genealogy.com, Inc. also has Family Archives containing military records indexes. The FamilyFinder Index, a feature of Family Tree Maker software and also available for searching at FamilyTreeMaker.com, is an index of over 220 million names from census records, marriage records, military records, actual family trees, and more. This feature can help you by telling you if your ancestor's name is actually listed on one of the military CDs Genealogy.com sells. Using the FamilyFinder Index couldn't be easier -- all you need to do is enter the names of your ancestors right into your own computer. If the FamilyFinder Index tells you that your ancestors are listed, then it's simple to locate your ancestor's record. For more information about FamilyFinder, or for information about purchasing CD-ROM indexes, see the topic All about FamilyFinder. Finding death dates If the individual was a veteran who served and was killed in the Korean or Vietnam War, you may be able to find a death date through the death records in the Military Index on the FamilySearch computer at your local Family History Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Family History Library has all other wars indexed on microfiche. You only need to know the war and the veteran's name. Local community and genealogy libraries may also have war indexes. Contact individual libraries for their holdings. Make sure to check photo albums, scrapbooks, diaries, and family Bibles at home. See the topic Finding information at home for more information.

They want money. Gloria just called them "victims." They want a "retired judge" to arbitrate a monetary settlement after Richards sits down with them "man to man" and sees the "pain and suffering" he has caused.
One 'victim': "He should be punished. I just want an amount that is fair. I was humiliated."
Just watched the video on FoxNews.com and was most amused. Who knew Michael Richards able to launch "verbal missiles" at these poor young men. I love the whole "reward awarded by a retired judge" gimmick, I'm sure Gloria has just the right one signed up and ready to go already, never mind it's a civil not criminal issue.

Nuheat Cable Systems
Nuheat Cable is an Electric Radiant Floor Heating system that allows contractors to instantly make on-site adjustments to the floor heating coverage for any room including those with curves and angles. Patented Nuheat Cable Guides (included in each kit) are first secured onto the subfloor around the perimeter of the room. The Nuheat Cable Guides are superior to other clips or straps provided with other floor heating cable products as they are made of durable yet flexible plastic and lay flat on the subfloor to guarantee the lowest profile. The heating cable is then installed and covered with thinset mortar or floor leveling cement (aka self-leveler). After the mortar has cured flooring can then be installed on top of this new layer.
The Nuheat Cable may also be installed in combination with the Nuheat Mat system. Both systems have leads and can be wired together to the same thermostat. So you can use Standard mats for rectangular or square areas and fill in with cables for the irregular angled or curved portions of your room.
Easy installation with a single-point lead

Which one is better to use among the below statements in C?
static const int var=5;
#define var 5
Generally speaking:
Because it respects scope and is type-safe. The only caveat I could see: if you want the variable to be possibly defined on the command line. There is still an alternative:
Whenever possible, instead of macros / ellipsis, use a type-safe alternative. If you really NEED to go with a macro (for example, you want It generally makes for lengthy names :) |
It depends on what you need the value for. You (and everyone else so far) omitted the third alternative:
Ignoring issues about the choice of name, then:
So, in most contexts, prefer the 'enum' over the alternatives. Otherwise, the first and last bullet points are likely to be the controlling factors - and you have to think harder if you need to satisfy both at once. If you were asking about C++, then you'd use option (1) - the static const - every time. |
In C, specifically? In C the correct answer is: use While it is beneficial to have the scoping and typing properties of a So, in C the choice should be determined by how you plan to use your constant. For example, you can't use a If this is important for you then it will determine your choice. Most of the time, you'll have no choice but to use In C++ |
If you can get away with it, However, at least in the original C standard, it isn't actually a constant. If you use However, never name a |
In C
ANSI C doesn't allow you to use
and even leave out |
The difference between If that would have been the case, Dennis Ritchie would have kept the best one alone... hahaha... :-) |
Another drawback of

I'd be happy to use typed |

Incidentally, an alternative to
In many cases, it's useful to define enumerated types and create variables of those types; if that is done, debuggers may be able to display variables according to their enumeration name. One important caveat with doing that, however: in C++, enumerated types have limited compatibility with integers. For example, by default, one cannot perform arithmetic upon them. I find that to be a curious default behavior for enums; while it would have been nice to have a "strict enum" type, given the desire to have C++ generally compatible with C, I would think the default behavior of an "enum" type should be interchangeable with integers. |
edit: I edited this answer due to the comment of ugoren. The definition
does not always define a constant value. Some compilers (for example tcc 0.9.26) just allocate memory identified with the name "const_value". Using the identifier "const_value" you can not modify this memory. But you still could modify the memory using another identifier:
This means the definition
is the only way to define a constant value which can not be modiefied by any means. |

Wednesday 13 February 2013
The European Union (EU) believes failing to act on IT security will impose significant costs on consumers, businesses and society.
Last week, the EU proposed new cyber security rules, which will bring in mandatory reporting where businesses and organisations experience attacks or breaches.
The plans were met with a mixed reception by businesses, with many concerned about the effects of such disclosures on their brand image and reputation.
Matthew Fell, director for competitive markets at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said the EU's Cyber Security Strategy "rightly emphasises the importance of secure online networks to doing business in the 21st century".
However, he warned that mandatory reporting ignores the sensitive issues at stake around business reputation.
"It is important to build awareness of cyberattacks, but this should be done through voluntary sharing of information," Mr Fell added.
The EU's digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes commented that Europe needs resilient networks and systems, and failing to act is not an option.
This is because just one in four European companies has a regularly-reviewed, formal ICT security policy, it noted.
Businesses have access to a wide range of online security tools from Microsoft which can help guard against web-based attacks.

NEWTOWN, Conn. – A man killed his mother at their home and then opened fire Friday inside the elementary school where she taught, massacring 26 people, including 20 children, as youngsters cowered in fear to the sound of gunshots reverberating through the building and screams echoing over the intercom.
The 20-year-old killer, carrying at least two handguns, committed suicide at the school, bringing the death toll to 28, authorities said.
The rampage, coming less than two weeks before Christmas, was the nation's second-deadliest school shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre that claimed 33 lives in 2007.
"Our hearts are broken today," a tearful President Obama, struggling to maintain his composure, said at the White House. He called for "meaningful action" to prevent such shootings. "As a country, we have been through this too many times," he said.
Police shed no light on the motive for the attack. The gunman, Adam Lanza, was believed to suffer from a personality disorder and lived with his mother, said a law enforcement official who was briefed on the investigation but was not authorized to discuss it.
Panicked parents looking for their children raced to Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, a prosperous New England community of about 27,000 people 60 miles northeast of New York City. Police told youngsters at the kindergarten-through-fourth-grade school to close their eyes as they were led from the building so that they wouldn't see the blood and broken glass.
Schoolchildren – some crying, others looking frightened – were escorted through a parking lot in a line, hands on each other's shoulders.
Law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Lanza killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, and then drove to the school in her car with at least three guns, including a high-powered rifle that he apparently left in the back of the vehicle, and shot up two classrooms. Nancy Lanza was a part-time substitute at the school, according to a parent.
Authorities gave no details on exactly how the attack unfolded. But a custodian ran through the halls, warning of a gunman on the loose, and someone switched on the intercom, alerting people in the building to the attack – and perhaps saving many lives – by letting them hear the hysteria going on in the school office, a teacher said.
Teachers locked their doors and ordered children to huddle in a corner or hide in closets as shots echoed through the building.
State Police Lt. Paul Vance said 28 people in all were killed, including the gunman, and a woman who worked at the school was wounded.
Lanza's older brother, 24-year-old Ryan, of Hoboken, N.J., was being questioned, but a law enforcement official said he was not believed to have had a role in the rampage. Investigators were searching his computers and phone records, but he told law enforcement he had not been in touch with his brother since about 2010.
At one point, a law enforcement official mistakenly identified the gunman as Ryan Lanza. Brett Wilshe, a friend of Ryan Lanza's, said Lanza told him the gunman may have had his identification. Updates posted on Ryan Lanza's Facebook page Friday afternoon read, "It wasn't me" and "I was at work."
Theodore Varga was in a meeting with other fourth-grade teachers when he heard the gunfire. He said someone had turned on the intercom so that "you could hear people in the office. You could hear the hysteria that was going on. I think whoever did that saved a lot of people. Everyone in the school was listening to the terror that was transpiring."
Also, a custodian ran around, warning people there was someone with a gun, Varga said.
"He said, 'Guys! Get down! Hide!' " Varga said. "So he was actually a hero." The teacher said he did not know if the custodian survived.
On Friday night, hundreds of people packed a Newtown church and stood outside in a vigil for the victims. People held hands, lit candles and sang "Silent Night" at St. Rose of Lima Church.
Anthony Bloss, whose three daughters survived the shootings, said they are doing better than he is. "I'm numb. I'm completely numb," he said at the vigil.
Mary Pendergast said her 9-year-old nephew was in the school at the time of the shooting but wasn't hurt after his music teacher helped him take cover in a closet.
Richard Wilford's 7-year-old son, Richie, told him that he heard a noise that sounded like "cans falling." The boy said a teacher went out to check on the noise, came back in, locked the door and had the children huddle in the corner until police arrived.
"There's no words," Wilford said. "It's sheer terror, a sense of imminent danger, to get to your child and be there to protect him."
On Friday afternoon, family members were led away from a firehouse that was being used as a staging area, some of them weeping. One man, wearing a T-shirt without a jacket, put his arms around a woman as they walked down the middle of the street, oblivious to everything around them. Another woman with tears rolling down her face walked by, carrying a car seat with a baby inside.
"Evil visited this community today, and it's too early to speak of recovery, but each parent, each sibling, each member of the family has to understand that Connecticut – we're all in this together. We'll do whatever we can to overcome this event," Gov. Dannel Malloy said.
Adam Lanza and his mother lived in a well-to-do part of Newtown where neighbors are doctors or hold white-collar positions at companies such as General Electric, Pepsi and IBM.
At least three guns were found – a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols, inside the school, and a .223-caliber rifle in the back of a car, authorities said.
Obama's comments on the tragedy amounted to one of the most outwardly emotional moments of his presidency. "The majority of those who died were children – beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old," Obama said.
He paused for several seconds to keep his composure as he teared up and wiped an eye. Nearby, two aides cried and held hands as they listened to Obama. "They had their entire lives ahead of them – birthdays, graduations, wedding, kids of their own," Obama continued about the victims. "Among the fallen were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children."
Video: Various reports about Connecticut elementary school shooting
Robert Licata said his 6-year-old son was in class when the gunman burst in and shot the teacher.
"That's when my son grabbed a bunch of his friends and ran out the door," he said. "He was very brave. He waited for his friends."
He said the shooter didn't utter a word.
Stephen Delgiadice said his 8-year-old daughter was in the school and heard two big bangs. Teachers told her to get in a corner, he said.
"It's alarming, especially in Newtown, Connecticut, which we always thought was the safest place in America," he said. His daughter was fine.
Mergim Bajraliu, 17, heard the gunshots echo from his home and ran to check on his 9-year-old sister at the school. He said his sister, who was fine, heard a scream come over the intercom at one point. He said teachers were shaking and crying as they came out of the building.
"Everyone was just traumatized," he said.

Another woman with tears rolling down her face walked by carrying a car seat with a young infant inside and a bag that appeared to have toys and stuffed animals.
The shootings instantly brought to mind episodes such as the Columbine High School massacre that killed 15 in 1999 and the July shootings at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., that left 12 dead.
"You go to a movie theater in Aurora and all of a sudden your life is taken," Columbine principal Frank DeAngelis said. "You're at a shopping mall in Portland, Ore., and your life is taken. This morning, when parents kissed their kids goodbye knowing that they are going to be home to celebrate the holiday season coming up, you don't expect this to happen. I think as a society, we need to come together. It has to stop, these senseless deaths."

Hmm. So have you done much studying into the Indian Religious beliefs and philosophies?
Sentios wrote:EagleMan wrote:It's not the same, though I could see why you'd bring that up. My brain is a vessel for me. Wherever that vessel goes, "I" go. If that vessel is taken out of my head, then I go with it. If an exact copy, Vessel and Brain B, is placed where I used to be, I am still in Vessel A.
Then if your brain was replaced in sections "you" would exist in multiple locations? That seems even less convincing.
Let's go full ship of theseus here and suppose that rather than a brain transplant, or even multiple brain transplants which resulted in you have a new functionally exact copy of your brain in your skull, you instead had nanomachines which were injected into your blood which replaced only a small percentage of your brain matter with something else over the course of 5 years. At what point would you consider yourself to become not you through this scenario even though 'you' would make up a majority of the brain for half the process?
EagleMan wrote:This is not purely a philosophical question, but also one of science. So are you convinced that whole brain replacement with an exact copy would still constitute the original person being gone? (Even if no one else realized it).
So replacing the brain bit by bit is an entirely different matter, because it means we run up against the wall of current scientific knowledge, and we have to address the question of what actually is consciousness, rather than being able to ignore that issue in a whole-brain scenario.
Science can answer this question, but only to an extent. Generally the prefrontal cortex is responsible for most of your personality. So if every bit of your brain except your prefrontal cortex was replcaed, we can easily still say that you are you. After all, a person is still them even if they have a leg replaced with a bionic one, or a heart with someone else's heart, so we can extend this to the brain, where if you replace parts that are not responsible for your personality.
Because consciousness is an emergent property, we get into a fuzzy realm that as I said, the whole-brain scenario avoids. If you start to replace the prefrontal cortex, then at some point the person who was "you" disappears. Currently we lack the precision to say when such a thing would happen, because consciousness is not something you can point out as starting here and ending there, but presumably at 100% replacement of the prefrontal cortex, it would then be safe to say that you are now gone and something else is in your place.
A ship is the sum of its parts. A ship is not just its motor, or just this plank or that one. It is all of it. If you had to, you could not reduce what is "the ship" to just one part. However, you can do the same with humans, that is, we can reduce the person to just a few parts of the brain. A finger does not hold equal claim in being you as your prefrontal cortex does, but any part of a ship is as much a part of the ship as any other part - their claims are equal. This is not the case in humans, where the prefrontal cortex is most of who we are. So if everything but that was replaced, then I am still me. But if that gets replaced, even if it's the only thing replaced in my entire body, then whatever takes my place is no longer me.
EagleMan wrote:To imagine it another way to keep the premise the same, imagine you went in for an experiment and were put under anesthesia. When you wake up, an exact clone of you has been made - but how do you know who is who? Neither of you know who is the original. There are 2 of you now. Were you 2 people all along? No. Clearly not. The 2 yous get into a fight and the original dies. The original existed past when his copy was made - so clearly he was still "him", but now the clone can easily assume his place in life. But you're dead. The clone is alive. You are dead and your consciousness is gone. So clearly that other thing is not truly "you" in the meaningful sense - the sense being that your consciousness is continued.
EagleMan wrote:I've already said as much in many examples what you said. I was just trying to illustrate that they are in fact different people, and that continuity of consciousness matters. I said on many occasions that to the outsider observer, and even to the clone (or gradual replacement of the brain), they might not notice the difference, but it would still matter to the original because they would either be gone (or gone at some point) because the chain would be broken. Practically speaking it doesn't matter that they're "different", because the replacement functions identically as the original and was hopefully seamlessly transitioned to, but on a philosophical level it does matter.
Sentios wrote:Vegedus wrote:I don't think consciousness == being awake, in this case. It's more the sense of self, your identity that is stake. Whatever we call that we are so afraid of losing when we die. You can lose any part of yourself, a limb, your body, your intellect, but you're still you, right? Our consciousness is the thing that is us, perhaps hidden somewhere in the brain, or in our non-physical soul if you're religious. That thing presumably does not disappear when we sleep. One could argue that it does, but then, then sleep is just as terrible as death, the person that wakes won't be 'you'.
That is exactly what I'm suggesting though, it's impermanent death and rebirth.
