quote:First, we learned that Mrs. Soptic maintained her own health insurance for several years after her husband's plant was shut down (two years after Romney left Bain), rendering the ad's implied timeline even less honest than originally thought. Every key detail in this damn thing is a lie or an intentional distortion. Unreal. Also, keep in mind that GST would have gone belly-up many years earlier if Mitt Romney's company hadn't intervened and invested millions to try to save it. The steel company deal ended up being one of the few unsuccessful investments Romney executed during his sterling private-sector career. Second, we discovered that Bill Burton -- who runs Obama's SuperPAC -- is actually trying to claim that the ad does not attempt to link Romney to this woman's death. Did he offer that answer with a straight face? If you find Burton's level of deliberate misinformation galling, you might want to skip this next clip, in which Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki refuses to repudiate the ad on three separate occasions: Wolf Blitzer repeatedly calls the spot "outrageous," correctly asserts that it is "full of falsehoods," and even tries to shame Psaki into labeling it "repulsive," independent of whether the campaign is directly responsible for its production. She doesn't budge, grinning throughout the segment and pretending that Obama has nothing to do with any of it.
quote:I can't wait to hear what he ahs to say.
quote:They will now educate us on what they "really" said not what we "really heard" they will explain that we just aren't smart enough to really get the message the ad portrays, that Obama speaks so smartly that the common man needs it explained to him/her.
quote:They will distance themselves from their own guys running the hack piece..watch
quote:SperPAC's hack piece, not obama's.
quote:Just about every family in America has a member who got fricked just like the man in the commercial. Besides, it was a super pac. We can't control those, ha ha ha. (Romney). Remember who was against them in the first place?
quote:What did he say that wasn't true?
quote:I love how Joe Soptik has been pimped twice now by the Obama handlers. He was in another pro Obama commercial earlier this year lying his dick off just like he did in this ad.
quote:Uh, Wasn't he a former staff member?

Did you know that pajamas originated in the Middle East? We offer a variety of high-quality sleepwear that will help you get a great night's sleep and wake up feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Sleep is essential in order to function at your best, and being comfortable while you're sleeping is the first step toward getting the rest you need. We offer nighttime wear made from organic cotton, such as nightgowns and nightshirts in multiple sizes and colors. Organic cotton is grown without using pesticides and other chemicals that are responsible for health problems such as a weakened immune system or birth defects. The necessary slight increase in price for an item that uses organic cotton is offset by the benefits to you and the benefits to the environment. We offer multiple products that are under $25, such as an exclusive camisole or organic cotton-lace-trimmed tank tops and pants. Gaiam's nightwear isn't only for sleepy times: you can wear this comfortable, silky-smooth clothing while you are lounging around the house watching an entertaining television show, or curling up on the couch with an engaging book by one of your favorite authors. Our organic cotton soft terry bath robe is another Gaiam exclusive. It's extreme absorbent and comfortable, and its same-color belt will keep it snug against your skin, keeping you warm. It's machine-washable making it extremely easy to clean. You can also change from your luxurious, cozy bath robe to something more suitable to wear around the house, such as our ecofriendly bamboo, organic cotton, and spandex piped pajamas. Do yourself and the environment a favor by choosing Gaiam sleepwear. We use 100 percent organic cotton, which is softer and more comfortable. It also helps the environment, makes living conditions better for farmers, and reduces pesticide use.

President Obama Takes the Middle Road on Iraq Troop Drawdown
by James Phillips
February 27, 2009 (The Foundry blog)
President Obama must act prudently to avoid squandering the hard-won security gains of the Bush Administration's surge policy. In the future, he must listen closely to his military commanders and listen less to politicians in Washington who wrongly concluded that the war in Iraq was lost.
Getting the Big Ideas Right: The Strategic Concepts that Helped Achieve Substantial Progress in Iraq.
Iraq's Elections: A Win for Prime Minister Maliki and the United States
By James Phillips
February 9, 2009 (WebMemo #2281)
Iraq's January 31 provincial elections were another important milestone on Iraq's long and difficult journey toward becoming a stable democracy.
1) A Vote for Security
2) The results were a win for pragmatic nationalism over sectarian ideologies.
3) In addition to strengthening Prime Minister Maliki, the elections boosted Sunni Arab representation in provincial governments, an encouraging development for the bottom-up development of stable representative government.
4) There's a need for a Continued U.S. Security Role.
The Obama Administration must not become complacent and imprudently withdraw all U.S. combat forces within 16 months, as Obama pledged to do during his run for the presidency. Such an early withdrawal could pull the rug out from under a young democratic government and increase the risk that Iraq will slide back into chaos. That is not change that Americans--or Iraqis--can believe in.

kitchener stitch tutorial from the purl bee |
as i was working on my kitchener stitch and watching my fave video to remind me how to do it on knittinghelp.com i thought wouldn't it be fab to have a handy little cheat sheet of this that I could throw in my knitting bag? and then instead of just pondering it i actually made one. i then had to share it with all of you too. now we can all remember "knit, purl, purl, knit" - KPPK.
i've also been busy drooling away at the projects that are being worked on and also the ones that are finished. the one thing i noticed that i thought was really neat was the color palettes most of you had chosen. i took a snippet of color from each image shared in our ravelry group and voila - a lovely array of what we feel are downtesque colorways :) i think they are purdy and i also thought it was fun to see them all grouped together. where did yours fall in?
i feel so lucky to get to knit with such a wonderful and caring group of women. it's been so much fun and boy oh boy are sunday nights and monday mornings a fun time to jump in the convo. so many chats happening, friendships being made and old ones getting stronger, people learning new skills and just overall discussion on downton abbey itself - i love it! don't miss out on the discussion. you can find our ravelry group here.
how's your project going? are you enjoying the kal? how do you remember the kitchener stitch? let's sip some tea and chat all things knitting! i'd love to hear from you!

Face it, Dave: your premier coach is a loser. Fire him before the season's out of reach, and we're heading that direction right now.

Can someone explain why he's still the team captain?

I really like these. I'm in my late 60's so I've had many different pan sets from stainless, copper-bottomed, cast iron, teflon coated, and aluminum. So far, I like these the best. I read the reviews where it was posted about these being "light" weight and I have to disagree. These aren't flimsy at all. Not as heavy as cast iron but at my age, that's TOO heavy not as light as the original teflon coated pans. They cook and fry very evenly and are so easy to keep clean. I use just a little oil for coating and when I store them I keep a paper towel between the pots and pans to keep from getting scratched and I use only wooden or plastic coated utensils when cooking/frying. I like the glass top lids so I can see the food cooking and if I need to add liquid plus with the lid on, cooking time is lessened because it prevents steam from evaporating and possible burning of food. The only feature I'm not crazy about are the handles. I wish they were all short rounded ones, like on the larger pot for easier stacking and storing. I don't know why companies all want to put long handles on the fry pans unless it's because some people like to "flip" their food while frying but I don't personally know of any that do and they agree there should be shorter handles. Also, less chance of accidentally hitting the pan and I would think distribute the weight more evenly on both sides. All that aside, this is a great set and the price on Overstock was one of the my deciding factors. I am a comparison shopper, read all reviews before making a purchase and compare prices. Being retired and on a fixed income it's imperative I get the best quality for the lowest price. This was a very good deal. I've bought from Overstock before and I haven't been disappointed yet.
I love, love, love this cookware!! So much so, I ordered the 10 qt. stock pot, after I had ordered the 14 piece set. I feel like the hard anodized feature will last a very long time. It's not a coating that's going to wear off, but rather it is all part of the pan. I researched the anodization process before I made my decision to order this product, as opposed to the "stick-free" ones. I am very happy with my choice and with the great price I got through Overstock.com.
I absolutely love these pans! Nothing is sticking to them! They are so easy to clean and lightweight. The only down fall is that te handles do get hot while cooking.
I absolutely love these. I spent a lot of time online comparing cookware sets. I looked into calphalon and swiss diamond and so many more but decided to go with these because of the reviews and the price. I couldn't be happier. No matter what I cook on them it comes right off in the sink. And they are dishwasher safe which is a big plus for me.
Great set!! Light weight, cooks well and useful sizes. Pick it up!!
Love this cookware! It is a good weight, came on time, and love the size of all the pieces!
I love this cookware, it has lots of pieces. The color is vibrant and just what I was looking for.
Love, love, love Rachael Ray Cookware!!!! After watching Rachael Ray on TV, I've always wanted this particular set of cookware and I am not disappointed!!
Finally, a set of cookware I can put in the dishwasher without the outside turning grey and faded. These are wonderful and they distribute the heat well for cooking. I wish the set had more pieces.
Truly non-stick! I have had other brands that claimed to be non-stick and they do not compare. No need for even cooking spray in some instances. They clean like a dream, though I have found the underneath does stain with gas cooking. They heat faster than other pans, and more evenly. The sauce pans are taller than many other brands, which is nice-less splatters. Love the orange handles. Do wish though there was a larger skillet that matched the set.

FANTASTIC Optical Zoom & Stabilization Written By JonW, Kentucky on Tuesday, September 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic Camera! I bought this camera for an Antarctic trip last Christmas with the goal of capturing pictures of penguins "porpoising" through the water. I searched for cameras with a large optical zoom, good image stabilization, burst mode, plenty of pixels and standard AA batteries that I can buy locally when on a trip. The porpoising penguin photos were fantastic. I got them while seated in a moving Zodiac with the penguins following the Zodiac. The only people who took better photos on the trip had very expensive foot long Nikon lenses and could not change magnification quickly when needed. I recently took this same camera on a square rigged ship cruise getting pictures from deck of others in the rigging with similar fantastic results. From on deck I got great face photos with individual whiskers clearly standing out from 60 ft away. WOW! I took this camera up into the rigging for great photos and that's something you would not want to do with a foot long lens. I have had no problems with battery life or memory card size. I was an Eagle Scout, so I keep a spare 32 GB memory card and 2 sets of spare lithium batteries with me, inside my coat to keep them warm. I think I used 2 sets of batteries over a 2 week trip. Although I did not think I would like it, the panorama mode stitched images together from almost a 180 degree sweep into great images that could not be captured with a normal camera. I took it into mist from Iguazu Falls knowing that water was not good for any electronics. After awhile it stopped working, so I immediately removed the batteries and memory card, then let it set open for several weeks to dry out before powering it back up. It works fine, but water is not recommended. Pros: 40X Optical Zoom, Great Image Stabilization, Burst Mode 34 shots at 10 frames per sec, 14M pixel, standard AA batteries, Panorama mode, reasonable price
OLYMPUS Written By VERNE, SILVER SPRING, MD on Thursday, September 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my second Olympus. Feels good when holding. LCD is clear. Position of controls work well with my thumb. Must get used to NO view finder.
Super-Duper Zoom Written By NeilB, Danbury, CT on Thursday, April 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) 40x zoom was the highest we found in any of the cameras in this class. Great to have two choices black/silver. Full selection of top end features. Pros: Everything you'd want and more in a point and shoot camera for a price that was reasonable and Crutchfield had the best price we could find for this model Cons: The only drawback we found was that getting all of that optical zoom comes at the price of a bigger body than the 20x and 30x competitors but its worth it for the greater zoom!
Great photos. Easy to use. BUT... Written By Africa Adventurer, Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, February 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this camera on a recommendation from a friend who thoroughly researched my need for an easy-to-use camera that would take great pictures of my trip to East Africa. While I loved the ease of use and had fun with the special features it offers (the "dramatic" filter created some fantastic photos!), I have issues with the battery life on this camera. On more than one occasion, after I'd loaded four fresh batteries that very morning, the batteries ran out of power in the middle of a game drive -- literally just a couple hours into the day!! On top of the frustration of dealing with dead batteries, I ended up spending another $ in batteries on the trip! This is really unacceptable for a brand new camera.

26 September 2011
A fiery week in the social network world
It was an active week in the world of social networks mostly led it seems with Facebook and Google+ trying to kick each other into touch, possibly most active we've seen this year, so far.
They say that when it rains, it pours. It certainly seems to have been that kind of week within the world of social networks and the battle for user love. However, Facebook wasn't the only social network with significant announcements, with Google leading last weeks updates. The technology company, most known for its search and advertising products released further updates to Google+ in seemingly another innovative move, that was not only seen as a reply to Facebook, but also Skype (now owned by Microsoft). That's until f8 this Thursday, but more about Facebook later.
In opening up its new Google+ social network to beta (moving past restricted invites) means that rapid rise of Google's new service could be further boosted as the shackles come off. Reported to have reached over 25 millions users, its video calling feature Hangouts (multiple video calling up to 10 people) has been made available for mobile. In a BBC interview Vic Gundotra, Google's senior vice president of social business explained how it can improve how people wish to share information, briefly discussed Hangouts for mobile and how they are focus on innovating on its Google+ own product (that's 12 weeks old) and not compete with other social networks.
Google piled on the social media news announcing that its +1 feature will be integrated into its Adsense online advertising product within the next month at the dismay of some search marketing professionals, but certainly signalled how the company intends to embrace more of the social web and how advertising is part of its equation.
Rachel covered how Facebook's News Feeds were overhauled ahead of its f8 developer conference last Thursday, much to the disappointment and even anger of its users and has been illustrated by SodaHead's Facebook Facelift: Like It or Lose It? infographic. Interestingly users were described as products by Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg in the beginning of the keynote presentation, so probably not the best approach given the social networks history with privacy and the constant complaints received over its updates. Even if it was a developer conference, you never know who's watching, especially at a live event that reached over 100,000 viewers, so perhaps a fair few users and activists amongst that.
As Rachel blogged on Thursday night during Mark Zuckerberg's keynote address at the f8 conference, Facebook's eagerly anticipated announcement Timeline has kicked the social networking battle into overdrive. Google+ appeared to refine out what users didn't like about Facebook, with is privacy, constant updates and usability cited as many of the main issues. Now, with Facebook's newest and more significant announcement, it strives to allow users to collate and share more of the rich data users created. In doing so it hopes the content gleaned will attract brands to advertise and interact with users on a more social level boosted by a number of partners with more app driven products.
And, Google's response? Well, nothing just yet, but 90+ days into a new product, possibly not enough time in this year to see it up the ante again via its Google+ social network.
Meanwhile, MySpace reached out via email to announce that it has a new homepage coming (again). It invited users to trial it boasting to be the largest library of free music on the web. Since its acquisition by Specific Media and celebrity Justin Timberlake, it's the first major activity seen from the now self-styled music destination that for many was seen as powerful social network player that lost its way.
These announcements don't stand alone either, currently lesser known social networks (Hibe, Diaspora and Posterous) have also been vocal with the first two beginning to open up its services to wider audiences on an invite basis only that we wrote about on the 09 September and 15 September. Posterous announced in late August how its Space feature gave its users more control over privacy (Posterous introduces spaces and Posterous fine-tuning), describing how its users can further control relations and communications – a theme representative in all of the aforementioned. It's a very interesting observation given that could be argued that the above has made Facebook and Google think harder about privacy and how users manage their relationships, in particular the very vocal Diaspora.
See Diaspora is making a difference for its very public hat tip in what it sees as its product defining the direction of social networking products:
"There's been big news in the social networking world recently, and we can't help but be pleased with the impact our work has had on two of the biggest developments. We're proud that Google+ imitated one of our core features, aspects, with their circles. And now Facebook is at last moving in the right direction with user control over privacy, a move spurred not just by Google+, but more fundamentally by you and tens of thousands of community members, as well as hundreds of thousands of people who've lined up to try Diaspora* — that is, by all of us who've stood up to say "there has to be a better way." We're making a difference already."
At the time of writing this, an invite has arrived in our inbox so we'll report back on signing up and first impressions of using Diaspora. In the meantime, for an update and how to join up, read the latest post from the Diaspora team.
With all the movement it may seem that privacy, not just apps, functionality and partnerships that providers create may ultimately be a contributory factor, if not the factor, in which the social network may stand taller than the rest. It will be the age old saying of only time will tell which may show how and why users will be prepared to give-up, sacrifice or embrace the social network of their choice which is intrinsically bound by their relationships they create and maintain beyond just their personal and career lives online.
Given how technology (not just social media) becomes more engrained into society, the way in which we live and communicate, you have to wonder where the entertainment versus privacy stand off between social networks will lead. We're largely a society that now wants to share almost anything, anytime, anywhere, and in any way - the web has more than demonstrated this for many years. In such a content driven society and addictive environments it's not a stretch to see how certain social networks will be appealing regardless of their approach to privacy and how comfortable users my be with that.
Other environments may have all the best intentions at heart, but will that be captivating enough for the masses?

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a protein found in all body tissues. Tissues with higher amounts of ALP include the liver, bile ducts, and bone.
A blood test can be done to measure the level of ALP.
A related test is the ALP isoenzyme test .
Alkaline phosphatase
A blood sample is needed. Most of the time blood is typically drawn from a vein located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
You should not to eat or drink anything for 6 hours before the test, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.
Many medicines can interfere with blood test results.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn.
Reasons the test may be done include:
The normal range is 44 to 147 IU/L (international units per liter).
Normal values may vary slightly from laboratory to laboratory. They also can vary with age and gender. High levels of ALP are normally seen in children undergoing growth spurts and in pregnant women.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Abnormal results may be due to the following conditions:
Higher-than-normal ALP levels
Lower-than-normal ALP levels

Glee is just awesome! Every time I watch it I hear these great songs that I grew up with (I know I'm showing my age). Even my kids love the music. The show centers around a teacher in charge of a glee club in high school. They have the usual teen dramas and romances. In between those they are practicing or performing great musical numbers.
Sometimes I like to watch Glee online. Other times I'll watch it on Tivo. One of my favorite episodes featured Stevie Wonder's music. Check out more here.

Blastomycosis is an infection caused by breathing in the Blastomyces dermatitidis fungus. The fungus is found in wood and soil.
North American blastomycosis; Gilchrist's disease
You can get blastomyocosis by contact with moist soil, most commonly where there is rotting wood and leaves. The fungus enters the body through the lungs, where the infection starts. The fungus then spreads to other parts of the body. The disease may affect the skin, bones and joints, and other areas.
Blastomycosis is rare. It is found in the central and southeastern United States, and in Canada, India, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Africa.
The key risk factor for the disease is contact with infected soil. It most often affects people with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV or who have had an organ transplant. Men are more likely to be affected than women.
You may not have any symptoms if the infection remains in the lungs. The following symptoms can develop if the infection spreads to other parts of the body:
Lung infection may not cause any symptoms. Symptoms may be seen if the infection spreads. Symptoms may include:
Most people develop skin symptoms when infection spreads. You may get papules, pustules, or nodules on exposed body areas.
The pustules:
Over time, these skin lesions can lead to scarring and loss of skin color (pigment).
You may not need to take medicine for a mild blastomycosis infection that stays in the lungs. Your doctor recommend the following ant-fungal medicines when the disease is severe or spreads outside of the lungs.
Amphotericin B may be used for severe infections.
Follow-up regularly with your doctor to make sure the infection doesn't return.
People with minor skin sores (lesions) and relatively mild lung infections usually recover completely. The infection can lead to death if not treated.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of blastomycosis.
Avoiding travel to areas where the infection is known to occur may help prevent exposure to the fungus, but this may not always be possible.

The college News VOL. XL, NO. 22 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1944 Copyright, i iii�i-.i of BrVn M�wr Collrvr. 1944 PRICE 10 CENTS Emily Kimbrough Tells Experiences OfHollywoodTrip Limitations of Movie World Discovered by Kimbrough And Skinner Goodhart, April 14. Miss Ejoily Kimbrough, noted author and pub- licist, presented a lecture on her adventures and discoveries in her recent trip to Hollywood to aid in the production of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. On the advice of her publishers, Dodd, Mead, Miss Kimbrough made "subtle but fre- quent reference" to her recent book We Followed Our Hearts to Hollywood, from which many of her anecdotes were drawn. Miss Krmbrough found the foi- bles of Hollywood excitements manifold and various. The whole adventure began, she explained, in Cornelia Otis Skinner's office in New York, where Cornelia, Corne- lia's husband, and Miss Kimbrough were expecting a telephone call from Hollywood. The call finally came through, and Hollywood ask- the two authors to "follow our hearts" to the center of the mo- tion picture world, to assist in the filming of Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Miss Kimbrough's instant reac- tion was "yes." Miss Skinner si- multaneously said "no." "Why not?""said Emily. "Don't you think it would be a wonderful experience?" "Yes," said Cornelia darkly, "I do. But things always happen to you." Miss Kimbrough argued firmly that they were too old to have things happen to them, and under pressure Miss Skinner gave in. When the adventure was well under way, Miss Skinner proposed a startling thought. "Have you any idea how to write a treatment or scenario?" she said. "Why, no," replied Emily. "Don't you know? You've been in the theatre for some time." Cornelia drew herself up and said, "Never confuse the theatre with the motion picture world." They found, upon arrival, that Miss Skinner's warning was well Continued on Page 4 Calendar Thursday, April 20 Marianne Moore, Deanery, 4:30. Sofia Novoa, Spanish Club Tea, Common Room, 4:30.

Novoa, To Give Songs, Dance Sofia Novoa, refugee from Spain and folk music expert, has been invited by the Spanish Club to sing Spanish songs and to teach folk songs and dances in the Com- mon Room on Thursday, April 20, at 4.30 P. M. Well-known in Madrid as a pianist before the war, Miss No- voa, a native of Galicia in the north of Spain, has been interest- ed in folk music all her life. In this country she is teaching folk music and dancing at Vassar, and at Middlebury in the summer. In Spain, Miss Novoa was a Di- rector of Residence for women students at the International In- stitute of Educations. This Insti- tute, now taken over by Franco, was the first of its kind in Spain. Pseudo-Charley's Aunt Plays "Mairzy Doats" In 1890 Scene in B. M.-Haverford Production by Darst Hyatt, '47 "You don't know me�I'm no or- dinary woman!" warns Lord Fan- court "Babs" Babberley who, plus a fan and a falsetto, impersonates Charley's aunt, Donna Lucia d'Alvadores "from Brazil where the nuts come from." Played by Charles Ryrie, '46, the pseudo- Donna Lucia is the cause of spicy and hilarious situations in Bran- don Thomas's comedy, Charley's Aunt, which will be given on April 21st and 22nd at Haverford Col- lege by the Cap and Bells Club, assisted by the Varsity Players. "Look at me, I'm a disgrace to my sex", mourns poor Babs whose trials include being kissed by af- fectionate young girls and propos- ed to by mercenary old gentle- men. Faced with pouring tea, he calmly pours into the hat of one of his suitors and proceeds to stir. Realizing his mistake, he pours the tea back again with equal calmness. In spite of the gleeful remark, "What devils we women are!" pos- ing as^one of the fair sex begins to tell on poor Babs. He seeks consolation in a cigar. Blissfully he sucks in a deep breath of smoke, only to be interrupted by the real Donna Lucia (Katharine Colvin, '46), who turns up incognito at the crucial moment and casually res- cues four separate love affairs. The scene is laid af" Oxford in 1890, and charming Victorian cos- tumes are being made. The pro- duction is guilty, however, of a couple of anachronisms. The fake Donna Lucia, when seated at the piano, offers either Beethoven or Boogie-woogie, and at another mo- ment asks one of the girls to sing "that charming little ballad 'Mairzy Doats.'" Great difficulties face th<? stage crew: the three acts each require a change of scenery. Estelle Mor- rison, '45, assisted by Marce Gross, '47, and Jean Kelley, '47, is re- sponsible for some very handsome- ContinueJ on Page 4 Alumnae Contribute Rare First Editions, Ancient Manuscripts The exhibit which is now on display in the Rare Book Room includes both rare first editions of the seventeenth century, and man- uscripts of high value dating as far back as the ninth century, all contributed to the college by alum- nae and their relatives during the year 1943. Outstanding in this exhibition are the Latin and Greek manu- scripts. The "Tractus Varii," six Latin manuscripts of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, are the gift of Mrs. John Dozier Gordan (Phyllis Walter Goodhart, '35). Made on vellum, the manuscripts are panelled in blue morocco with the Arms of the fourth Duke of Newcastle on the upper cover. A collection of forty-one fragments from fifteen Greek manuscripts in two volumes, dating from the ninth to the fourteenth centuries, are the gift of Mr. Howard Leh- man Goodhart, whose wife and daughter are both Bryn Mawr alumnae. Another Gift Another gift of Mr. Goodhart is the early fifteenth century Phil- lips manuscript, "Eusebii et Auor- um Epistolae" of Vita Sancti Mar- tini, with illuminated initials and original boards that were covered in the early nineteenth century with red velvet. This codex be- longed at one time to the Rever- end Henry Drury, who was Lord Byron's master at Harrow. On the fly-leaf is a note in Drury's hand: "I consider this a very curious monkish volume. 1823." Also on exhibition is an early sixteenbh century manuscript of Pierre Mesenge de Rouen, "Sainct voyage pour visiter le Sainct Sep- ulcre . . . ". This work, on Gothic- tooled vellum binding, is included in this showing because it was the first manuscript of the group ac- quired by the library. It was giv- en in March, 1942. Among the books being shown, the edition of Shakespeare, pre- sented by Mrs. Alba Boardman Continued on Page 3 Dr. Payne-Gaposchkin To Talk on Astronomy Mrs. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, eminent English scientist, will dis- cuss "Stars and Nebulae" in Dal- ton at 8:30 on Thursday, April 20. The lecture is being sponsored by the Sigma Xi, an honorary scienti- fic organization to promote scien- tific research. A National Reserve Council fel- low, Mrs. Gaposchkin received her B. A. at Cambridge in 1923 and her Ph.D. at Radcliffe in 1925. Her work on the chemical composition of the sun's atmosphere won her the distinction of being the first to handle the subject systematically. At present she is doing research on variable stars at Harvard ob- servatory. Common Treasurer There will be hall meetings in every hall Thursday evening, April 20, to discuss and vote on the Common Treasury and the resulting changes in the constitution. It is hoped that as many people as possible will attend as a two-thirds majority is needed to carry the vote. Indian Society, Religion and Thought Form Subjects of Yahkub Lectures Yahkub Discusses Relation Of Indian Philosophy To Real Life Goodhart, April 12. "No tribe exists which has not had religion", said Mr. Thomas Yahkub in his lecture, Landmarks of Indian Re- ligion and Thought, the second in a series of lectures on Indian Cul- ture. Tracing the principles involved in the development of religion, Mr. Yahkub said that it arose as man's natural response to his environ- ment, the very necessity for self preservation which he possessed in common with animals. Through his very dependence and insuffici- ency, man develops a religion de- termined by what he desires from the "powers" and what he thinks of them. The second great prin- ciple is the desire of all men to Continueu on Ptgt * Oppenheimer Shows Place of Drugs, Food And Bacteria in War Yahkub Says Better Society Purpose of Caste System In India Dalton, April 18. "Successful prosecution of the war involves the development of both military and civilian personnel, since sol- diers and civilians are both physi- ological machines," stated Miss Oppenheimer, in her discussion on "Bugs, Butter, and the Blitz" Tuesday evening. Miss Oppenheimer, assistant professor of Biology, treated the nutritional maintenance of the or- ganism as the "butter" part of her discussion. "In order to handle problems of nutrition one must know how foods are handled by the organism, what foods are nec- essary, and the chemical constitu- ents of them," Miss Oppenheimer explained. Work carried on in ex- perimental stations by the Depart- ment of Agriculture has been very beneficial in spreading information concerning nutrition. The "bugs" part of Miss Oppen- heimer's discussion dealt with germs and microorganisms related to them. Treatment for diseases Continued on Page 4 Goodhart, April 17. Delivering the third of his lectures on Indian culture, Mr. Yahkub discussed The Web of Life in India. Declaring that one half of the world is based on foundations which India sup- plied, Mr. Yahkub described the social pattern in which Indian life moves, and the -purpose of the caste system. Indian society is based on "con- stant intuition of the unity of life and the recognition that it is the greatest good." To grasp the meaning of life and to order it in accordance with its fundamental truths is the ideal of Indian phil- osophy, considered by Mr. Yahkub the greatest of India's gifts to the world. Life Mr. Yahkub described as a curve, whose outward contour is characterized by the temporal quality of self-assertion, and the {>.I i:.\\Hl 1BIU3}3 .H|l SB .i.uil.) JOUUI development. Because Indians be- lieve the soul is in the grip of these two curves, they consider self-assertion an inevitable part of life, not an evil, but a youthful tendency. Belief in Heredity The Brahmin believes that even the ideal society must provide op- portunities for the fulfillment of desire, Mr. Yahkub stated. They believe that society should be rul- ed by an intellectual and spiritual aristocracy. Another of their be- liefs is that of heredity, from which is derived the caste system. The art of craftsmanship is passed from father to son, and each suc- cessive generation continues the duties of the caste into which it is born. The principal behind the caste system, Mr. Yahkub said, is that each man should perform a single duty in society and not attempt to perform the functions of others. Indians believe that it is a natural law that left to itself the ego as- sumes its natural place, and social ambition is to be eschewed. Continued on Ptge i "I'll Be Back When 1 Get Some Pants", Ends Mysterious Plot of Gems, Gowns and Gals by Nicole Pleven, '47 Nobody was splashing scarlet paint in Goodhart tonight. Nobody was swinging perilously from the ladders. I heard no cries of splin- ters and nails, although there was something about not sitting on the sacred sets of the Mikado. In fact, the stage seemed relatively calm until the famous Maids and Por- ters cast of Gems, Gowns and Gals started to sing the glories of fem- inine beauty, preparatory to their performance in Goodhart on Fri- day night. The Gals are courageously fac- ing the man shortage which has hit even the campus. Taylor's Pearl and Pembroke's Minnie, it seems, are partners in crime in a setting of extravagantly-gowned mannequins, while Ezra, a porter in disguise, waves a fan with all the grace of a New York matron fussily choosing a dress for her daughter's coming out party. But watch for the final "I'll be back when I get some pants." Combining elements of Sherlock Holmes detectivery and disguise upon disguise, with much of musi- cal comedy thrown in, the story decides whether the involved lov- ers will live happily ever after. It all appears to depend on what is in the hem of a certain sapphire dress�prize item of the design- er's collection, not to mention the ingenuity of the disguised manne- quin and her disguised customer. Evening gowns, the family jew- els, wax figures, and no les.- than 'a cannon" serve to complicate matters and eventually foil the villain. Nicky, French House's pride, is both effective and a heroine. In the musical line, Al from Denbigh has fortunately recovered from a sore throat to sing with' Nicky a- romantic duet. Louise, Dorothy and Evelyn are keeping up the standards of singing well - known to all of us since Christmas caroll- ing, but dancing and remodelling are new featured attractions. V J

1068: Swiftkey
Swiftkey |
Title text: Although the Markov chain-style text model is still rudimentary; it recently gave me "Massachusetts Institute of America". Although I have to admit it sounds prestigious. |
[edit] Explanation
Swiftkey is a product that is installable on iOS/Android-based phones and tablets. Swiftkey have noticed their inclusion in xkcd and have created a blog post for other users to comment with their default phrase when they hit the "central prediction key". The results are pretty funny.[1]
The statement "I am so sorry - that's never happened before" appears to be a sexual reference, something that a guy might say after a particularly unsatisfying sexual encounter in an attempt to convince his sexual partner to give sleeping with him another try some time, even though they didn't like it that time. Since this is apparently Cueball's typical sentence, he presumably has texted that phrase many times before.
In the title text, a Markov chain refers to a system that transitions between a countable number of states, based only on the current state and none of the previous ones that led up to it. Swiftkey follows this property since it provides outputs based only on the most recently entered word or words, not the whole sentence.
"Massachusetts Institute of America" is a nonexistent organization. The name appears to have formed by combining "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" and either "[Field] Institute of America" (e.g. Mining) or "United States of America". This illustrates the memoryless property of a Markov chain; after generating "Massachusetts Institute of", Swiftkey may have attempted to predict the next word using only the last "of" or "Institute of". Since it was not considering the word "Massachusetts" at all, the word "America" was viewed as the most likely follow-up.
[edit] Transcript
- [Cueball shows off phone to Megan.]
- Cueball: Have you tried SwiftKey? It's got the first decent language model I've seen. It learns from your SMS/Email archives what words you use together most often.
- Cueball: Spacebar inserts its best guess. So if I type "The Empi" and hit space three times, it types "The Empire Strikes Back".
- Megan: What if you mash space in a blank message?
- Cueball: I guess it fills in your most likely first word, then the word that usually follows it...
- Megan: So it builds up your "typical" sentence. Cool! Let's see yours!
- Cueball: Uh—
- SwiftKey: I
- SwiftKey: Am
- SwiftKey: So
- SwiftKey: Sorry—
- SwiftKey: That's
- SwiftKey: Never
- SwiftKey: Happened
- SwiftKey: Before.
Does the sequence account for the word before the previous word? If it does not account for that, I feel like it would be a combination of "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" and "United States of America." Which would imply that "of America" is a more common pair of words than "of Technology" for the sequence user. Both this and the original poster's statements make sense.

An appendectomy is surgery to remove the appendix.
The appendix is a small, finger-shaped organ that branches off from the first part of the large intestine. The appendix is removed when it becomes swollen (inflamed) or infected. This condition is called appendicitis . An appendix that has a hole in it (perforated) can leak and infect the entire abdomen area. This can be life-threatening.
Appendectomy is done using either:
The surgeon makes a small cut in the lower right side of your belly area and removes the appendix.
The appendix can also be removed using small surgical cuts and a camera. This is called a laparoscopic appendectomy.
If the appendix broke open or a pocket of infection (abscess ) formed, your abdomen will be washed out during surgery. A small tube may be left in the belly area to help drain out fluids or pus.
Appendix removal
An appendectomy is done for appendicitis. The condition can be hard to diagnose, especially in children, older people, and women of childbearing age.
Most often, the first symptom is pain around your belly button:
Other symptoms include:
If you have symptoms of appendicitis, seek medical help right away. Do not use heating pads, enemas, laxatives, or other home treatments to try to relieve symptoms.
Your health care provider will examine your abdomen and rectum. Other tests may be done:
There are no actual tests to confirm that you have appendicitis. Other illnesses can cause the same or similar symptoms.
The goal is to remove an infected appendix before it breaks open (ruptures). After reviewing your symptoms and the results of the physical exam and medical tests, your surgeon will decide whether you need surgery.
Even when the surgeon finds that the appendix is not infected, it will be removed to prevent future problems.
Risks of anesthesia include the following:
Risks of surgery include:
Other risks of an appendectomy after a ruptured appendix include:
Patients tend to recover quickly after a simple appendectomy. Most patients leave the hospital in 1 to 2 days after surgery. You can go back to your normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks after leaving the hospital.
Patients who have the appendix removed through small surgical cuts tend to recover and get back to their daily activities faster.
Recovery is slower and more complicated if the appendix has broken open or an abscess has formed.
Living without an appendix causes no known health problems.

RIR keeps both race weekends for 2013
Officials from Richmond International Raceway today announced that the track will continue to host two NASCAR weekends in 2013. The events will be held April 26-27 and Sept. 6-7, with the September Sprint Cup Series race again serving as the final race before the 2013 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup (the circuit's playoff equivalent). The total financial benefit to the region as the result of both weekends – each of which includes a Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series race – is more than $300 million, according to RIR officials. "Bringing NASCAR back to Richmond International Raceway twice next year is huge for everyone in Greater Richmond," said RIR President Dennis Bickmeier. "The money being pumped into our economy twice a year makes a big difference in the livelihood of the 1.3 million people who call Greater Richmond home. Hotels, restaurants, grocers and many other locally owned businesses will benefit when NASCAR flocks to RIR." Tickets for the April NASCAR weekend go on sale Friday, Dec. 7. Fans who purchased tickets to this month's NASCAR weekend at RIR will be receiving renewal invitations in October. Guests who renew receive a savings on each ticket purchased, opportunity to keep their seats and may add or relocate seats before the general public.

Just like fad diets for humans, popular diets for your pets come and go. However, there's one particular pet diet trend that gives us pause: ASPCA experts say raw food diets for pets that include raw meat, eggs and milk may be dangerous for your furry friends. We typically recommend that pet parents opt for well-balanced, high-quality commercial and cooked foods instead.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) agrees. In studies published in AVMA's journal, homemade and commercial raw food diets for dogs and cats were found to contain dangerous bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, just to name a few. Other tests showed that unprocessed food diets can lead to nutrient deficiencies or excess that can cause serious illnesses in pets. Also, pets chewing on raw bones can lead to obstruction or perforation of their gastrointestinal tracts, and fractured teeth.
If you don't want to feed your dog or cat a commercial diet, consider a homemade diet that will diminish the risks of foodborne illnesses. These meals should be thoroughly cooked and need to be formulated by a veterinary nutritionist or by your veterinarian to make sure they're nutritionally sound.
If you are passionate about feeding your pet raw foods, please consider the following tips.
- Work with your veterinarian to ensure that your pet's diet is nutritionally balanced.
- Avoid feeding raw foods in homes with babies and toddlers (who put lots of things in their mouths), the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
- Practice regular hand washing before and after feeding pets.
- Practice appropriate disposal methods when cleaning up pet feces.
For more information about pet-safe diets, consult your veterinarian and check out our complete list of people foods that are dangerous to pets.
Tell us in the comments below: Do you feed your pet raw foods or a homemade diet?
I say the proof is in the pudding.
Sure, raw foods contain pathogens but so does ill-prepared cooked food. Proper care must always be considered when feeding your pets (or your family.)
My cat was vomiting 3 to 4 times a day when I fed him any of the commercial catfood...you name it, I tried everything: wet or dry. He went from 15 pounds to 8.2 pounds and i took him to 3 different vets. Each one spewed how it could be his thyroid, pancreas, liver or kidneys and each wanting to charge me $500 for inconclusive tests. One of them tried to give medication that improved his appetite but wrecked his pancreas. I mean seriously, what nonsense is that?
I started him on the raw diet 5 months ago, he has gained 3 pounds where I no longer can feel every bone on his spine when petting him. He no longer throws up daily and only throws up when he eats the kibble that my younger cats eats. My vet was amazed how well my cat looks when I took him for treatment for an ear infection.
From my real life experience...aside from all the hallyboo in these comments, raw has done me good. My cat is healthier, happier as well as I am. He has thrown up every day for the last 5 years until I found this raw diet (btw he's almost 22 years old now.)
He has handled kibble for most of his life,but now that he's older, kibble is not the answer. I thank the freeze dried raw food manufacturers to put this foods out for me to enjoy my pet now.
Mac, you are a RETARD and should probably never own a pet.
Wow! How much were you guys paid by pet food companies to write this article?! I can't believe that you are trying to argue against a diet that has fed cats and dogs for THOUSANDS of years before humans intervened and started giving them illness-inducing crappy, cooked foods? Sorry if I come off angry, but frankly, I am!!!
i think there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between COMMERCIAL raw AND RAW, LIVE FOOD: ie, a cat eating a live, warm, mouse running around. even when i eat frozen meat that's been sitting in the freezer for a while it tastes disgusting. (after i cook it of course.) this is just an analogy of a cat eating raw commercial and a cat eating live mice in the garden. and i'm pretty sure a lot of the cooked commercial cat food is shet. all america, people, and companies worry about is the BOTTOM DOLLAR: PROFIT. don't ever forget that. that is the driving force. they don't give a rat's ass about your health or your pet's health. YOU CAN TRUST ME ON THAT ONE!!
Rubbish. There are pet food recalls due to e-coli and salmonella almost weekly. I'd rather take my chances with raw and know exactly what's in my dogs food (and have been doing so since the 2007 pet food recalls due to melamine from China). Veterinarians do not have extensive knowledge in nutrition and what they learn is taught by the pet food industry. Having a vet develop a raw or home cooked diet for you wouldn't be advisable. However, consulting a canine nutritionist would be a valuable asset when devising a home prepared diet (be it raw or cooked) in order to make sure the diet is truly balanced. Common sense when handling meats is a no brainer. If we can figure out how to feed a balanced diet to our children, then we can do it for our dogs. Pet food manufacturers want us to think it's impossible or dangerous because if we all started doing it they'd be out of business.
Well, Nice information i got through your blog post. It is truly worthy and i agree pets should be given proper nutrition so that their health remain in good condition. You can visit the website http://myfabpets.com/ where you will find dog breeds and pets information.
Can someone explain to me why all my dogs growing up eating commercial dog food lived to be 14 and 15 and wolves in the wild only lived to be like 7?
