quote:I think we need to go all the way back to the greatest time in history. Let's go back to the tax brackets which worked so well under Bill Clinton. I think we should also cap spending at the Clinton levels too.
quote:Is it your contention that the 90's boomed because of a fantastic tax structure?
quote:The taxes ultimately don't matter a whole lot. Tax all you want, but without spending cuts we still run a deficit and our debt continues to grow. Classic example of putting the cart before the horse.
quote:Don't quote me on this but isn't this the idea behind the Obama tax plan? To take the tax rates back to what it was during the Clinton years.
quote:Also, if the Dems are willing to make spending cuts, do you think the Republicans would be willing to cave in on the tax increase for the "rich"?
quote:This I tend to agree with but I want to know where should we cut spending from?
quote:It is easy to say cut, cut, cut, but there are consequences for every action.
quote:No tax increases until I see spending cuts.
quote:And this mentality is why nothing ever gets cut. No one wants to take responsibility and accept the consequences.
quote:Both sides have to find the issues in which they are willing to cave on. Both sides can not have their cake and eat it too.
quote:First thing that needs to be done is to remove the automatic budget increases. Every year the budget gets a percent added from the previous years budget unless removed by Congress. This is called baseline budgeting and adds ~6-7% per year and is compounding. Cut that first

Sony has officially announced PlayStation 4, which will be available "holiday 2013".
[PlayStation 4: All the news | All the facts | Every video of all the games | Official pictures | PS4 Specs]
PlayStation 4: The full story
Sony Computer Entertainment president and group CEO Andrew House took to the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom at Manhattan Center Studios in New York to reveal the name of Sony's next-gen console.
The exec said Sony's "most powerful platform ever" will allow "worlds to come alive with greater fidelity and intensity than ever before".
House also noted that "ease of access regardless of location or device has been a priority" in the system's development".
"Our vision for the future is consumer centric and developer inspired," he added, stressing that Sony is keen to enable developers to utilise "new business models that enable more flexibility including episodic and free-to-play".
Lead PS4 system architect Mark Cerny was up on stage next. "We wanted to make sure nothing would come between the player, the platform and play," he said. "Our main goal was to architect the system so as to support a breadth of experiences."
Boasting 8GB of unified system memory, PS4 houses a "highly enhanced" PC GPU "containing a unified array of 18 compute units, which collectively generate 1.84 Teraflops of processing power that can freely be applied to graphics, simulation tasks, or some mixture of the two".
It is also "centred around a powerful custom chip that contains eight x86-64 cores and a state of the art graphics processor". Check out the full PS4 system specs.
Cerny then showed off the PS4 controller, "DualShock 4", which will include many of the recently rumoured features. It will offer enhanced rumble and reduced latency, a touchpad, a headphone jack and a new Share button, which will allow players to record gameplay or screenshots and share them instantly. "Our goal is to make the sharing of video on PS4 as popular as the sharing of screenshots is today," he said. PS4 will also support cross-game chat.
The new pad was developed in tandem with the next iteration of Sony's PS Eye camera, dubbed PlayStation 4 Eye. Here are the full DualShock 4 specs.
Sony also said PS4 radically reduces the lag time between players and their content. The system utilises a "suspend mode" which keeps the console in a low power state while preserving game sessions. "The time it takes today to boot a console and load a saved game will be a thing of the past," according to the platform holder.
Users will also be able to boot applications including a web browser when playing PS4 games, while the system will enable titles to be downloaded or updated in the background, or in stand-by mode. Digital titles will be playable while they're downloading too, with only a "fraction" of data required to start a session.
Dave Perry, founder of cloud gaming platform Gaikai, which Sony acquired for $380 million last year, was up next on stage. "What we're creating is the fastest, most powerful gaming network in the world," he said.
"With Gaikai and the PlayStation Store, you'll be able to instantly experience games for free [and only pay for the full experience if you want to]."
PlayStation cloud services will be rolled out in phases, with the ultimate goal being to give players access to all of their favourite PSone, PS2 and PS3 titles.
Perry said PS4 will let other players look over your shoulder virtually as you're playing and, if you allow them to, post comments directly to your screen. Friends will even be able to take over your controller virtually and help you complete a section you can't beat yourself.
Sony also said that Vita, along with iOS and Android devices, will be capable of acting as second screens for PS4. The new system will allow Vita users to "seamlessly pull PS4 titles from their living room TVs" and play them on the portable over Wi-Fi, while a PlayStation app will enable players to supplement their console gaming experience by - for example - displaying maps or inventory screens on supporting devices.
Guerrilla Games managing director Hermen Hulst was up next to announce Killzone Shadowfall, the next entry in PlayStation's flagship FPS series, for PS4 with a debut gameplay trailer.
Another new announcement was action platformer Knack, which is in development at Sony Japan Studio.
That was followed Sucker Punch's Infamous Second Son. The demo showed a heavily-militarised city where citizens are closely monitored. However, people have started developing superpowers and revolting against big brother. There was no sign of series protagonist Cole.
Braid creator Jonathan Blow also came on stage to announce that open world puzzle game The Witness will launch on PS4 as a timed exclusive.
MotorStorm developer Evolution Studios then unveiled Drive Club for PS4. The next-gen racer will focus on team-based online racing and will link to a companion app on smartphones and tablets, allowing players to have "24/7 untethered access to their club".
Sony told us it's planning for Killzone Shadow Fall and Drive Club to be PS4 launch games later this year.
Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono appeared on stage to demo Capcom's new engine, Panta Rhei, which is being used to develop a new IP for PS4 called Deep Down.
Meanwhile, Final Fantasy brand director Shinji Hashimoto said Square Enix is developing a new entry in the series for PS4 using its next-gen Luminous engine, which it plans to show off at this year's E3 in June.
Blizzard's senior vice president of story and franchise development then revealed that Diablo 3 will launch on PS3 and PS4, with more details to be revealed in the coming months.
Bungie also offered a brief glimpse of Destiny, which will launch on PS3 and PS4 as well as other consoles, before confirming that the studio will be developing unspecified PlayStation exclusive content for the shooter.
Ubisoft showed off a new Watch Dogs gameplay demo and confirmed that the title will be available for PS4 at launch.
Rounding things off, Media Molecule presented a PS Move PS4 tech demo, and a Quantic Dream PS4 tech demo showed off the Heavy Rain developer's "completely new engine".

Memorable PS4 quotes
- "Our most powerful platform ever [will allow] "worlds to come alive with greater fidelity and intensity than ever before." - SCE President and CEO Andrew House
- "We wanted to make sure nothing would come between the player, the platform and play. Our main goal was to architect the system so as to support a breadth of experiences." - Mark Cerny, lead PS4 analyst
- "Our goal is to make the sharing of video on PS4 as popular as the sharing of screenshots is today." - Mark Cerny
- "The power and capability of the PS4 allows the Watch Dogs team to further push the boundaries of what was previously thought possible in interactive entertainment." - Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO
- "We are going to marry [the Move controller] with the power of the PlayStation 4, we are going to revolutionise 'making'." - Alex Evans of Media Molecule
- "This is the quality that we will get in our future games and we know we can go even further. But more important than these technical features, we start to reach a point where you can see very subtle emotions on the face of a character, where you can feel his emotions just from looking at his face, or you can see his soul just from looking into his eyes." - David Cage of Quantic Dream
- "The story draws parallels to Cold War Berlin, with two factions living side by side divided by a vast wall. This is a story about the loss of home, the search of new home, and the lengths to which people go to defend it." - Guerrilla Games managing director Hermen Hulst on Killzone: Shadow Fall
- "What we're creating is the fastest, most powerful gaming network in the world." - Dave Perry, Gaikai founder and CEO
- "At its core it's a game about epiphany, that instantaneous transition of the mind that takes you from confusion to understand. One minute your situation seems impossible, you have no idea what the solution to your problem looks like, the next it's all very clear and you wonder how you couldn't have seen this solution before." - Jonathan Blow on The Witness
- "Diablo III looks and plays great on the PlayStation. We put a lot of care and thought into the PlayStation version to make sure it would deliver an authentic Diablo gaming experience, and we're really pleased with the results." - Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard, on Diablo III

Great Service
While a trip to the dry cleaners is a common experience for many, there are secrets we probably don't know about the places we trust to clean our clothes.
"You don't know what goes on behind closed doors!" Debra Kravet, who runs Apthorp Cleaners in New York, N.Y., told ABC News' "20/20."
Tune in for more confessions on ABC News' "20/20" on Friday, March 7, at 10 p.m. ET
Kravet said that many of the things customers think they know about dry cleaners are myths.
From garment bags to removing stains, here are some commonly held dry cleaning myths that "20/20" busted.
Myth #1 |
Myth: Club soda can help remove stains.
The Truth: False! "Club soda is definitely not the answer," Kravet said. "If it was, we'd fill up all our cleaning machines with club soda!" According to Kravet, club soda does nothing except possibly make the stain worse. Instead, gently dab the spot with a white napkin or do nothing at all. Then, bring the garment to the cleaner as soon as possible, and be honest about what the stain is!
Myth #2 |
Myth: Clothes that have a "dry clean only" tag can only be cleaned at the dry cleaners.
The Truth: Nope! Despite those labels, for certain fabrics, such as cashmere sweaters, hand washing is just good, especially with light-colored clothing. Just don't put these items in the dryer. Instead, lay them flat to dry.
Myth #3 |
Myth: It's okay to store your clothes in the plastic bags from the dry cleaner.
The Truth: No! Those bags are just to ensure that the clothes don't get splashed after cleaning. According to cleaners, your clothes need to breathe. Leaving your clothes in the bags might trap humidity or make it hard to lose any residual odor from the chemicals. Storing clothes in bags can also allow stains to oxidize and make the clothes harder to clean.
Myth #4 |
Myth: My clothes are washed separately from other customers.
The Truth: Wrong! Several people's clothes are cleaned together. However, as long as the system is maintained properly, cleaners say this is not an issue.
Myth #5 |
Myth: Dry cleaners charge more for women's clothing than men's clothing because they have a gender bias.
The Truth: It's not sexist: it's economics, according to Kravet. Women's shirts can't fit on the pressing machine and have to be hand ironed. More labor means more expense.
Myth #6 |
Myth: Dry cleaning a suit too often makes it shiny.
The Truth: Not at all! "Wearing your suit day after day, the friction is what's making it shiny," Kravet said. However, if the cleaner is not good at pressing the suit, you may notice some marks left behind.
FICTION – Pricing discriminates against women.
FACT – Prices are based on our costs of doing business without regard to gender, race, color, religion, marital status, age, national origin, or sexual orientation, of the person who owns or wears the garment.
We strive to charge the same for all garments of a similar type. However, customer care associates are instructed to check closely for any detail that may require specific handling requirements and to charge for that item accordingly.
FICTION – All stains can be removed.
FACT – No they can't.
Whether it's a new garment or a treasured, well-worn garment, everyone hates it when they spill something on their clothing. We understand, and will always use our best efforts to make that accident go away. Sometimes it's pretty easy – sometimes not. Either way, we have the professional expertise to do the job. Successful stain removal depends largely on the nature of the stain, the type of fabric, and the colorfastness of the dye. Some fabrics and dyes simply will not withstand the use of cleaning or stain removal agents. Some stains, like ink and dried paint for example, can be impossible to remove.
FICTION – Care labels are always correct.
FACT – No. Most manufacturers never test garments before the required care label is attached.
Understanding and following care label instructions is almost an art – requiring a combination of knowledge of care symbols, instructions, and practical experience.
The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Care Label Rule does not require testing before care instructions are assigned to a garment – only that a manufacturer have a 'reasonable basis' for their care instructions. Further, they are not required to provide instruction for the best care procedure – simply one that works. Sometimes it's right and sometimes it's wrong. We always attempt to alert our customer to a potential problem beforehand.
FICTION – The damage is your fault because it was just fine when I brought it in.
FACT – We strive for error free operation, but mistakes can happen. When we're wrong we will make it right.
Statistics from the International Textile Analysis Laboratory (ITAL) demonstrate that the overwhelming majority of problems are the result of improper care instructions or damage that is not readily visible. We sometimes rely upon a determination from ITAL to resolve where responsibility should be placed.
Wrong Care Instructions – In general, the safest way to clean an item is to carefully follow the care instructions. If damage occurs after following the manufacturer's recommendations, then rightfully, the manufacturer is at fault.
Consumer Related – Occasionally chemical damage occurs as the result of use and wear, but it remains invisible and unknown until the article is cleaned. In cases like these, the flexing of the fabric during cleaning causes already damaged fibers to fall out, leaving holes or a loss or change of color. The usual culprits are perspiration, alcohol, bleach, various acid and alkaline-based products, salt, and hair preparations.
Household Damage – Environmental conditions can cause damage to fabrics. This may include surface soiling from an accumulation of smoke, dirt, and dust or direct exposure to sunlight or artificial light. Discoloration or degradation of fabric may not be evident until these contaminants are removed.
FICTION – Shirts (and sometimes other garments) don't shrink.
FACT – Yes they can if the material has not been properly preshrunk or some other element of construction has not been properly stabilized.
When it begins, shrinkage usually becomes progressively noticeable. Typically, manufacturers consider a two to three percent shrinkage factor acceptable. But when shrinkage or some other element of construction exceeds this factor, the result is shrinkage around the chest, sleeves, and neck. This is a problem associated with manufacturing and is beyond our control.
FICTION – Drycleaning harms the environment.
FACT – The drycleaning industry is possibly the most heavily regulated small business in America. Air and water regulations are comprehensive and farreaching. Safe operating practices, handling, and disposal of any chemicals entail strict monitoring and enforcement measures.
• Never put a garment away with spills or stains on it. The warmth of a closet
and exposure to natural or artificial light and to the atmosphere can contribute to
setting a stain.
• Do not iron stained or soiled clothes; this will set stains and drive the soil deeper
into the fabric. Always have soiled clothes cleaned or washed before ironing.
• Do not attempt home spot removal with either water or a cleaning fluid without
first testing for colorfastness. Wet an exposed area, such as an inside seam, and
blot with a paper towel to make sure the color is fast.
• Never rub a stain, especially when attempting to remove a stain from silk. Blot
the stained area. This will help remove the staining substance without spreading
the stain and will avoid damaging the fabric.
• Inform your dry cleaner of the location of specific stains and any procedures you
have used to remove them, even if the stains are no longer visible.
In some cases:
• Stains oxidized and set in the fabric.
• The type of dye delicacy of the fabric can limit the degree of removal.
• The dye in the fabric is soluble (prone to bleed); removing the stain would also remove the dye from the fabric.
The more information consumers give the drycleaner and the sooner the garment is brought in, the greater the chance of satisfactory stain removal.
Perspiration can also cause problem stains, particularily on silk or wool garments. Perspiration left on a silk garment can eventually cause deterioration of the silk fibers. Repeated exposure of the garment to perspiration and body oils can create a permanent yellow discoloration and an objectable odor. In addition, perspiration can react with the dye in the fabric making it even more difficult to remove the stain. People who perspire heavily should have their clothes cleaned more frequently and might consider perspiration shields. Clothing frequently worn of heavily stained also requires frequent cleaning.
invisible when they dry. But later on, with exposure to heat or the passage of time, a
yellow or brownish stain will appear. This is caused by the oxidation or carmelization of
the sugar in the staining substance. It is the same process that makes a peeled apple turn
brown after exposure to air.
You can help do a better job by pointing out such stains when you take a garment
to be cleaned. The cleaner often treats the stain prior to cleaning, since the heat of the
drying or finishing may set the stain.
When an oily substance is exposed to heat or ages in a garment for an extended
time, it also oxidizes. The type of stain can be distiguished by the irregular "cross
pattern" the oil makes when it follows the fabric fibers. Oily substances are successfully
removed in drycleaning unless they are left to oxidize. Once they become yellow or
brown, they become much more difficult to remove.
Clothing stains are one of the main reasons people seek the help of their dry cleaner. With their special solvents, equipment, and training, dry cleaners can remove some of the most disastrous looking stains with relative ease. Successful stain removal depends largely on the nature of the stain, the type of fabric, and the colorfastness of the dye. Ink stains and dried paint, for example, can be impossible to remove. Also, some fabrics and dyes are not made to withstand the use of cleaning or stain removal agents.
Let Bountiful Family Cleaners get those pesky stains out for you!
Do you love 'em and forget 'em? Your raincoat, that is. You don't wear your raincoat everyday, so you may forget to include it in your trip to the drycleaner. Raincoats often show evidence of wear around the edges of the collar and cuffs while other parts of the garment are virtually uneffected. That's because rainwear is often stained with perspiration and body oils, especially in areas around the collar and underarms. Neglecting to clean you rainwear regularly reduces its life and beauty.
Have your raincoat cleaned today at Bountiful Family Cleaners!!

An abdominal x-ray is an imaging test to look at organs and structures in the belly area. Organs include the spleen, stomach, and intestines.
When the test is done to look at the bladder and kidney structures, it is called a KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) x-ray.
Abdominal film; X-ray - abdomen; Flat plate; KUB x-ray
The test is done in a hospital radiology department. Or it may done in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technologist.
You lie on your back on the x-ray table. The x-ray machine is positioned over your abdominal area. You hold your breath as the picture is taken so that the picture will not be blurry. You may be asked to change position to the side or to stand up for additional pictures.
Before having the x-ray, tell the health care provider the following:
You wear a hospital gown during the x-ray procedure. You must remove all jewelry. You must sign an informed consent form.
There is no discomfort. The x-rays are taken as you lie on your back, side, and while standing.
The x-ray will show normal structures for a person your age.
Abnormal findings include:
The test may be performed for:
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored and regulated to provide the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray. Women should tell the health care provider if they are, or may be, pregnant.
The test is not usually recommended for pregnant women. The ovaries and uterus cannot be shielded during the abdominal x-ray because of their location.
Men should have a lead shield placed over the testes to protect against the radiation.

Flomerics software predicts thermal performance of data centers
April 2008
Flomerics recently released a report describing the use of its FloVENT simulation software to optimize the cooling of a data center. The report describes a program of work designed to investigate the effect of a number of actions on the thermal performance of a typical data center. The simulations were based on a real data center run by Equinix at one of its centers located west of London. The work was carried out for Equinix.
Currently more than 30 companies around the world are performing data center cooling optimization using FloVENT, the powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that predicts 3D airflow, heat transfer and contamination distribution in and around buildings of all types and sizes. The software's fast and easy-to-use menu system is designed specifically for the design and optimization of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Typical applications for HVAC design include data centers and IT rooms, clean rooms, auditoriums, shopping malls, office buildings, underground car parks, passenger comfort in vehicles & terminals, air quality and contaminant control in laboratories, research facilities, and hospitals.
Thermal simulation is crucial to minimizing data center energy costs as simulation creates a "virtual" data center and provides detailed 3D visualization of airflow and temperature at every point throughout the room. Armed with this vital information, engineers can quickly and easily minimize cooling power requirements and energy costs; optimize cooling effectiveness; ensure that all rack inlet temperatures are within specifications; and eliminate hot spots thus avoiding potential equipment failures and downtime. Flomerics continues to play a pioneering role in simulation of airflow and thermal comfort in all kinds of buildings using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques. As a result, FloVENT has become the most widely used, most validated, fastest and most dependable CFD software for this application area. Flomerics' support engineers have extensive experience and understanding in data center cooling issues.
About Flomerics.
Flomerics has been a world-leading player in the rapidly-expanding fields of "virtual prototyping" and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) since 1988. Flomerics' software products and services are based around three distinct lines of business including electronics cooling, Engineering Fluid Dynamics and HVAC. The cutting edge company provides engineering simulation software and consultancy services for analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer. Using their software and consultancy services, Flomerics customers accelerate their design processes, optimize their proposed designs, eliminate mistakes and dramatically reduce costs by predicting product behavior before building physical prototypes.

Identifying ports
Your Mac comes with a number of ports, located on the front, side or back of the computer. For example, if you have a Mac notebook computer, it may look like this:
If you're using a desktop Mac, like an iMac, it might look something like this:
What are these ports used for?
The ports on your Mac usually are marked with a symbol that explains what the port is used for.
- MagSafe port: On a Mac notebook, this is where you connect the MagSafe power cable.
- USB port: A wired external keyboard or mouse connects to your computer's USB port, as do many printers and USB flash drives. Wireless keyboards, trackpads, and printers do not need to use a USB port—these use wireless Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology. Learn more about using USB devices with Mac computers here.
- Thunderbolt: Connect a Thunderbolt display, or connect a Mini DisplayPort to DVI, VGA, HDMI, or DisplayPort adapter. You can also connect storage devices, video capture, FireWire, and gigabit ethernet adapters directly to your Mac's Thunderbolt port.
- HDMI port: You can use this port and an HDMI cable to connect to the HDMI port of an HDTV, and use the TV as an external display. You can also use an Apple TV and AirPlay Mirroring to turn your HDTV into an external display.
- Ethernet port: If you connect to the Internet without Wi-Fi, you probably have a modem or router connected to your computer's Ethernet port. If your Mac doesn't have an Ethernet port but you need one, you can connect an Ethernet adapter using USB or Thunderbolt.
- FireWire port: Some Macs come with FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 ports for connecting peripheral devices such as external hard drives. If you need to connect a FireWire device but your Mac doesn't include a FireWire port, you may be able to use a FireWire to Thunderbolt adapter.
- Audio out: Connect your Mac to an audio system, or connect headphones or speakers using the audio out port.
- Audio in: Some Mac computers include built-in microphones , or an audio in port ( or ). If your Mac doesn't have an audio in port, you can use an adapter such as a USB to audio adapter to connect an external audio source.
- Some Mac computers include a card reader slot, such as an SD card or SDXC slot. This makes it easy to transfer photos to and from your computer.
Which ports does my Mac have?
To learn more about which ports and connectors your Mac includes, follow these steps.
- Find your computer's serial number.
- Go to the Tech Specs page on the Apple Support website.
- Enter your computer's serial number into the search box on the Tech Specs page. The search results should include your model of Mac.
- Click your computer to see its technical specifications, which include the ports and connectors.
The user guide for your Mac also includes information about the specific ports included on your computer.
Adding ports
Some Macs include more built-in ports than others. If you need to connect more devices than your Mac has ports for, you may be able to add an adapter or card.
- For USB, FIreWire or Thunderbolt peripherals, consider connecting a third-party hub. Some devices include built-in hubs or additional ports. For example, If you've connected an external display to your computer, check to see if the display includes a built-in hub with additional ports.
- If you don't see the port you need, or a cable doesn't appear to fit where you think it would, check to see if an adapter is available. For example, newer Mac notebooks can use the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter to connect to older MagSafe power adapters. If you need to connect a DVI or VGA display, you may need a Mini DisplayPort video adapter.
There are many options for connecting devices available. Check the Apple Store or your local Apple reseller for options.

The first episode, a movie of The Sheik, by Pembroke Hall, had to be run off back- wards (hie to a "mishap to the camera." The whole drama, done on horseback, was very vivid and well executed.

A horrid-looking rival seemed for a moment to be snatching the prize from his "grasp, aided by Juliet's father, but in manly fash- ion, after ineffectually trying all forms of duelling from fencing to boxing and a Wil- helm Tell match, he dragged him off the stage and presumably threw him in the horse pond.

May We Call to Your Attention� \ special edition of a certain Washington paper was brought out last Saturday to proclaim the first bloom of the Japanese cherry trees. Deep in the mid-brain of every Editor of the News lies an unformed query: Will the college ever show enough concentrated interest (in the News or in anytime else) to warrant a Spenai Mote: The reader is advised to reread the editorial in the irVtW of March 80, which we reprint herewith : With the turn of the >car. With finds? i THE AVERAGE STUDENT: WHAT THE COLLEGE CAN DO FOR HER Three Lines Open For Training Large Middle Group of Students I he average student, as representative of the large group in College, was dis- cussed by Miss Park in chapel on Mon- day morning, April I'-'. To be numerical, the average student lies somewhere between the I'ppcr Ten and the lower ten: not a single student, but the whole group who fall between these, extremes. The faculty derive most pleasure from the upper ten. and the lower ten occasions them most worry, but the average group, that homogeneous mass with a common problem, demand a share of the administrative time and at- tention. They belong there for many seasons, Potentially some belong to the upper group: lack of interest, immaturity or faulty preparation alone keeps them out But there arc others whose difficulty is intellectual, one of memory or clear thinking. And this is more apparent here Uecause College tests that side almost to the exclusion of others. Responsibility for this group is as- sumed by the College, which Miss Park iclieves can do three very definite things for them. It can teach them to dis- tinguish between inaccuracy and ac- curacy, to paraphrase that overworked CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 the News itself confronted by the problem which, sooner or later laces every college newspaper: shall it continue? The P.oard recognizes the general m- lilTcrence of the college toward the News, and sees that ex.ept -for an occasional editorial, review or play writcirp, the college �cgards it as dull and unprofitable. Further- more, it fails, to "see- what can l>c done to remedy the situation. The advertisements. which pay for the printing, necessitate a six-page paper: the average eol'ege week, with its quota of games, elections and lec- tures, falls far short of filling six pages The iMiard is forced, as a result, to give practically verbatim reports of all �lectures, without regard to their importance, and to tad out other empt> sheets with unrelated material borrowed from various periodi- cals. The result is a patently uninterest- ing and second-hand production, ground out in the sweat of the editors' brows. Perhaps because of this dullness, which is only symptomatic of the growing in- difference of undergraduates to things con- nected with college, that self-perpetuating body which is the Board, is meeting with -real difficulty '�' finding people who are 0\ the same time willing ami able to go on with its work. Most of the undergrad- uates who are capable of doing really good newspaper writing�that is. those who are able to write interesting reviews and edi- torials showing some thought, besides stereo- typed write-ups�have refused to concern �bemselves with the Newt. The old Board is no longer under the oVigalion to stimulate college interest- its work has bc(?n done. The remainder of the Board is unwilling to go on with a tusk involving increasing^-work for a slcadilv diminishing number of people, un- less the college feels that there is really a definite need for thc.AY.v.v. In the present state of indifference, there seem to be onl> two possible courses: either the entire Board must resign, and the Newt stop until i new group of people, impelled by a new impetus, and backed by a new college sense of need, create a new paper, or, if it is to continue now. it must In- made far less for- mal, to include no advertising at all. several editorials, an occasional review or really in- teresting write-ups, and calendar for the next week�in this way. it could contain all the features winch the college now finds interesting, and the thankless drudgery of a small and harried group would be eliminated. This scaling down would pmbahV mean that the alumnae, who arc by far the largest subscribers to the NetOS, would cease to be interested. But after all. a college newspaper must try to adapt ilsrll" primarily to the undergraduates and not to the aJumnac. If the alumnae arc interested in tfie lectures and sports of college, (hey can demand full accounts-in the Alumnae Pule tin: but undergraduates are not interested in the majority of write-ups of events which they cither attended themselves or did not think- worth attending. The question is one for the college to consider, since it is ultimately as a result of ctTllegc interest and backing that a col- lege newspaper achieves any degree of success. It is certainly significant that dur- ing this entire year, the News has received not more than two letters from undergrad- uates who had something to put before the college. It exists now as a means of ex- pression for -the college. Docs the college want it? The Hoard would welcome all sugges tions "and criticisms of these proposals. TUITION RAISE NEEDED ' FOR RUNNING EXPENSES Slight Increase in Many Items Makes Yearly Deficit Alarming Goodhart Hall New Demand LIBRARY TO BENEFIT The F.dhorial Board of the Col- /,',/c News takes great pleasure in an- nouncing that as the result of its competition.

BRYN MAWR TO SHARE IN .ESTATE OF NEW YORK WOMAN The Hartford Hospital of Hartford, Conn., was bequeathed $:>.V000 in the will of Mrs. Alice D. Jackson, filed recently The will disposed of an estate of over $g�0M ill real and about $150,000 in per- sonal property. Mrs. Jackson .lied last I-March 20. The Manhattan Kye. Ear and Throat Hospital was given $35,000. Two-thirds of the balance of the res'dtiary estate was given to Bryn Mawr College, and the remaining third went to Tuskcgec In- stitute Tuskegec. Ala. The will directed that the Hartford Hospital should employ cither the inter- est' or the principal of the $25.00O in re- search work, if possible, in the direction of preventive medicine, and directed that the legacy to.the Manhattan Hospkal be used in research work. No restrictions were placed upon the bequests to Bryn Mawr and Tuskegee. M. CESTRE COMPARES FRENCH -AND AMERICAN COLLEGES We reprint the following article from The Inlereollefiiate Worhi since any statement of M. Charles Cestre is of personal interest to Bryn Mawr in view of the opportunity af- forded us by his series of lectures last fall. M. Cestre is now at the University of Michi- gan. He is reported to have made this com- oarisou of French and American colleges: "In France a great deal of personal work is necessary, especially in the department of literature. So much time is required for studying that there is little time for outside activities As law is a more mechanical study, it is only the law student who has the time to no out for athletics. "Dormitorks and fraternities have been but recently introduced into French universi- ties. Due to congested conditions, dormitories have now been built from a gift fund at the University of Paris. The dormitories all have large athletic fields around them, thus indicating a decided American influence." Tuition lor next year will be increased by $loo, according to President Park's announcement in chapel Wednesday morning, May.h 81. This ineafls that the directors have decided on a required sum of $100 instead of the present $300. Unfortunately, this does not imply that any unusually great work is to be put Under way. With the exception of larger book purchases for the library most of the money is to ro to meet increased running expenses, for although no one item has risen tremendously about fifty smaller ex- penses have increased slightly. In 1930, in order to complete a two million dollar endowment drive, it was necessary to clear the college debt. This was accomplished by borrowing $17,000 out of Mrs. Russell Sage's gift to the college; but the directors did this only on condition that the income of this $17,000 be devoted solely to replacing the bor- rowed capital/" As soon as this obliga- tion is met this interest will be free to meet ordinary deficits in the college ex- penses. Added to the usual yearly items will be the upkeep of Goodhart hall, which it is estimated will cosl about $",000 an- CONTINUDD <�N I'AtiK :< GATES OF PARADISE LEAD TO MISS TSUDA'S SCHOOL Often Failed Exams Are Cause of Japanese Suicides "Missionary Work today is not what it used to be," safl Mrs. I.

Interesting movements have arisen in every part of Japan recently, but nothing of any greater importance than Miss Tsuda's RCrlbol: Since it is an indepen- dent Christian institution, not in any way managed by foreigner*, its activity lies Chiefly in the hands of local Japanese teachers. Due to the devastation of the earthquake the accommodations are un- fortunately small and quite inadequate for the increasing number of applicants. The main building is nothing short of a barracks, just barely providing sufficient class room. But this docs not dalnprn the unlimited enthusiasm of the Japancscs girls who arc seeking education.

I did see a lot of lovely things and am definitely going back to shop as she has some lovely and unusual fabric in that not so little store of hers.

I am a beginning quilter, although I've been sewing since I was a child. I'm also a technophobe, so the blogging, on-line shopping world is all new to me. Having said that, I love your blog and the fabric shop. I agree with everyone else - I love all the fabrics - one of each please!

I searched for Japanese and I do love "Japanese, Lecien, HILL FARM, Brenda Riddle, Florals in White/Cream, Fat Quarter Bundle of 5". I didn't realize until I came back to your blog that that was one of the lines you'd highlighted! These are my colors!
