Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have prostate cancer, had a radical prostatectomy in 1999, then 13 wks of radiation in 2004 with a serum PSA of 0.26 ng/mL. As of July 2007, my PSA is 3.3 ng/mL. I know that hormone therapy is my only treatment option, but when should I start?? I have gotten 4 different opinions, ranging from now, to waiting until the PSA is at 5 or 10. Are there any statistics on the optimal time to start?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
This is the classic question. Ask 3 doctors and get 4 answers. There is a great deal of controversy because the clinical studies are contradictory, and the treatment has side effects. I guess my recommendation to patients is usually to start androgen ablation when the PSA reaches a level of 8 to 10 ng/mL. The reason for this is that relatively low PSA levels or slowly rising PSA levels may not be a problem for years. If a man lives for 10 to 15 years and is on hormones the entire time, then there is an increased risk of osteoporosis, loss of muscle mass, and rate of accumulation of atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels, which may then increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. On the other hand, there is a large British trial that was published in the British Journal of Urology in 1999 which showed that men lived longer and their quality of life was better when the hormones were started before a man had symptoms. In my experience, it is rare to see symptoms when the PSA is less than 20. For this reason, if the PSA goes from 4 to 8 in a year, I would recommend starting hormones, but if it took 5 years to go from 4 to 10, I might be inclined to watch the disease until it got to 15. I guess the key is that when you ask for an option and get an answer, you should follow it up with a "Why?" If the reasons sound good, go with that opinion.
Feb 4, 2011 - For women taking postmenopausal hormone therapy, breast cancer risk is greater among users of estrogen-progestin formulations, and those who begin treatment earlier, according to a study published online Jan. 28 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Recipient of Penny Fox Internship Fellowship
When I saw the work of Luke Haynes it changed everything I believed about textiles. Haynes creates complex quilts that utilize traditional pattern and realistic, contemporary imagery. Luke Haynes's quilts are like fabric photographs: they depict and distort reality while maintaining a sense of depth and place. He also works in textile installation, combining his formal architecture education from Cooper Union with his sense for design and textile processes. His work is on a new, exciting level of contemporary textile art, and having the opportunity to work with him will be incredibly beneficial to my development as an artist. The support of the Penny Fox Fellowship will make my internship possible. It will give me the opportunity to travel to and live in Los Angeles for the duration of my internship. I have never left the East Coast, and traveling will broaden my horizons and grant me a new perspective.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 7
Rated 4 out of 5 by Abby Beautiful just beautiful
When i receive the bag i wasn't sure if i like it or not. But after using it for a few day, I just fall in love with it. There is so many space inside the bag, i like how they divide the inside of the bag with like a zipper in the middle. The reason it's only 4 stars because this didn't came with a dust bag. The bag is white and especially since it's weave so it collect dust much faster. But just shoot them an email and they'll sent you one. But overall the bag is beautiful!!! in love!

Rated 4 out of 5 by TlovesTory nice classy satchel
This satchel is nice and the weave add a distinct and classy look to it. it's not as big as some other satchels Tory carries but i'm pretty comfortable with this size. I only gave it 4 stars because it was difficult to attach the detachable strap to the bad as there was no separate loop in the bag to hook the bag to. There's a tiny loop by the zipper but this does not look neat enough. overall a beautiful purse.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Darling This bag is very functional and classy
Beautiful handbag!Very functional .Can be used day or night.
Not too big and not too small.There's enough space for wallet,sunglass case,make up kit and cell phone.The only thing that I'm not fond of is the body strap. I feel very awkward when I tried it because you have to buckle it at the handles on both sides.

Use irons from Sears for better garment care
Irons have come a long way since they had to be placed in a fire to heat up. Modern electric steam irons are preferred by most people, because they work fast and are lightweight. Larger steam irons are commonly used for normal household garment care and pressing chores. A steam table will get heavy use in many commercial laundries. For travel, a small steam iron or a mini-iron will suffice. Garment care at home and on the run is very important. Your clothing will last longer and give you better wear when it is well taken care of. Repairs of clothing are made easy with needle and thread or use of a good sewing machine. A stitch in time really does save you time and your clothing! Shoe and clothing racks or valets are very useful at home for proper storage of accessories and garment care. When you need extra room to store clothing, use a tall cabinet with doors. You can hang clothing neatly and use the bottom shelf to store shoes or other accessories. Sears has many interesting ideas to help you care for clothing.
If you have ever admired a beautiful quilt, you should try making your own. Quilts have been passed along for generations as a personal family treasure. Many quilts are constructed of smaller squares where each depicts a segment of a family story. Others follow traditional patterns that have always been cherished. Sears has many craft books for you, including ones that instruct you on how to create beautiful sewn gifts. We have patterns and notions, sewing scissors, sewing accessories and machines to help you create your quilt. We have hundreds of sewing accessories, such as colorful threads, cotton batting, quilt frames and display racks. Our scissors collection is impressive, with sharp shears of all sizes, shapes and blade styles. The cutting edges of your sewing scissors should be kept very clean and sharp for best results, so we have sharpeners as well. Everything you need for this hobby, from sewing scissors to garment bags, can be found at Sears.
Once your sewing projects are completed, you will want to have all the products necessary to care for your garments, from steam irons to laundry starch. Sometimes it really is the little things that make the big difference when it comes to garment care. If you use too harsh a product on fabrics, you may find that clothing becomes weak or rips easily. Anti-static balls that contain no chemicals are a great item to toss into the dryer to help prevent static cling in fabrics. Eco-friendly detergents and softeners are a benefit to both the planet and your clothing; get that fresh smell you want and know you are using eco-friendly products that wont harm the environment. A crisp looking shirt can be produced when you have the help of a little laundry starch when you are ironing that garment. Spray starches are simple to use and also are earth friendly products. Sears is on top of everything you could want, with hundreds of reliable brand name products for taking care of your garments. Order for home or office delivery or pick up your order at any Sears store.

Angry protests of the grand jury "no bill" in a police chokehold death on Staten Island; officers turning their backs in protest against Mayor de Blasio at the funerals of two officers gunned down in Brooklyn; the mayor's first year in office ended with emotions high and good will in short supply in the vital area of public safety and police-community relations. Now can the mayor and the police department find the reset button? Can stronger police-community relations be achieved as part of keeping the city safe?
Join a thoughtful panel discussion that seeks to chart a path forward.
Of the over 20,000 children in homeless shelters, nearly half are under 6 years old. We know from research how crucial the early years are to lifelong development. Yet families now stay an average of over 400 days in city shelters—an eternity for a small child.
The new Child Welfare Watch report describes the stresses that homelessness puts on families with young children, and explores the discontinuity between the large number of young children in the shelter system and the dearth of services available to them. It reveals that currently the most common way for a family in a shelter to receive support for young children is to become known to child welfare authorities—a help that often goes hand-in-hand with the fear that children will be removed to foster care.
The de Blasio administration has made reducing family homelessness a key priority. Nevertheless, homeless families spend on average over 400 days in city shelters, and the number of families is near a record high. Young children are overrepresented; the number of kids under the age of 6 in shelters has grown nearly 60 percent since 2006. How can we keep children in city-subsidized shelters safe? How can we use the time they spend in shelter to foster rather than derail their development? How can we support parents who are leaving shelters that may be the only homes their children have known? A conversation with experts in the field, and the release of the latest edition of Child Welfare Watch.
On December 3, the Center for New York City Affairs at the New School invited campaign staffers, pundits, and candidates to come together to look back at this year's exciting races in New York State. Below are a series of highlights from these engaging, illuminating conversations.
What is the longstanding impact of 'legal corruption' in politics?
NYS government operates in an insular world that most of the state doesn't understand; it's what allows things to happen in the shadows. Could investigations and indictments catalyzed by the disbanded Moreland Commission serve as an impetus in changing the state's political culture or is reform unlikely under the current governor?
Highlights from the Governor's Race
What did we learn from Teachout's run?
What was Teachout's role in the primary? Her campaign and commentators maintain her support was too broad, too deep, and too meaningful to be represented as a protest candidate. Teachout herself says her campaign got energy from populist concern about how Cuomo was running New York State.

'To be or not to be, that is the question'. Read Hamlet's famous soliloquy by Shakespeare below, along with a modern translation and explanation of what 'To be or not to be' is about'.
"To Be Or Not To Be": Spoken by Hamlet, Act 3 Scene 1
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.–Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.
"To Be Or Not To Be" Soliloquy Translation:
What do you think of the modern translation of Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy above? Let us know by leaving a comment below!
Jerry Serwas says: Shakespeare speaks rhetorically through Hamlet (soliloquy) of an
unknown ethereal post mortem state. There is no legitimate answer
to the living. No doubt Shakespeare paused in deep thought more than once to have been confounded and frustrated between gross disparity set betwixt life and mortality. "To Be Or Not To Be" does not represent a
real problem for Hamlet/Shakespeare. The real entity comes through a
state of being in a present tense "is" instantly becoming defacto usage for death and finality. The truth ? Only Shakespeare can define his work.-
Robin says: Shakespeare wrote for the masses. Why not try the same?

Moyers & Company
Series Website »Episode Guide »
Bill Moyers returns on-air and online in January 2012 with MOYERS & COMPANY, a weekly hour of compelling and vital conversation about life and the state of American democracy, featuring some of the best thinkers of our time. A range of scholars, artists, activists, scientists, philosophers and newsmakers bring context, insight and meaning to important topics. The series occasionally includes Moyers' own timely and penetrating essays on society and government. In a multimedia marketplace saturated with shallow sound bites and partisan name-calling, MOYERS & COMPANY digs deeper. As the Los Angeles Times put it in 2010, "No one on television has centralized the discussion of ideas as much as Moyers... He not only gives a forum to unusual thinkers, he is truly interested in what they have to say and who they are because he believes their ideas really matter. "

In an effort to learn more about meat and different cuts, my brother has bought me "Lobel's Meat Bible" for the holidays. I have been reading it and following the explanations of the cuts of Beef. I also have been watching videos of various butchers cutting down the cow and getting to these cuts. The process is very interesting and being that this is what I was doing all day yesterday, I decided do get a Porterhouse for dinner. I live right near Eli's Vinegar Factory, which has a beautiful Butcher shop as well as a aging room for beef! I purchase a nice porterhouse which the friendly butcher cut down to size for me.
This is how I prepare my Porterhouse for use on my cast iron:
1. Sprinkle Salt (I prefer sea salt) on the meat, and let it come to room temperature.
2. Pat dry the meat after coming to room temperature, not much should have come out.
3. Pat on some olive oil and grind some black pepper and rub it into the steak.
4. Get the cast iron hot!
5. Preheat oven to 375.
6. 3 Minutes per side on the cast iron (don't touch the meat let it cook!).
7. Place in the oven for 7-9 minutes (my oven is pretty bad so closer to 9)
8. LET IT REST (5 Mins, if you have a rack use it!) after it reaches your temperature of choice. I prefer Rare.

Remember when I first started this blog and for a scant time held weekly "You Name It!" contests for as-yet-unchristened cocktails? Don't worry, it's okay that you don't. The point is, naming cocktails is not my forte.
Given that, I should really do more due diligence researching the names other people have given their cocktail creations. Like if I'd bothered to Google "Bumboo," yesterday's drink, I'd have learned that a bumbo, aka bumboo, is actually a certain category of drink — albeit a pretty obscure one, as only one of my cocktail guidebooks mentions it — traditionally made with dark rum, grenadine and some sort of nutmeg or cinnamon spice. Knowing that about Bumboo's etymology, for one thing, would have informed me as to why Death & Company probably chose to go with the Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas' Own Decanter Bitters, noted on its manufacturer's website as containing a cinnamon note.
So what's a Chingon? It's Mexican slang for badass. Things I think are badass about this drink: Its orangey-yowza color, for one. The way the citrus plays against the orgeat (hints of Mai Tai) and the B&B (although note that the original Death & Co. recipe calls for just Benedictine). Most badass of all: That it is a cocktail mere mortals can easily wrap their shakers around, as the most exotic ingredient is the orgeat syrup — which you should totally invest in anyway, because spring's around the corner and oh yes we will be making Mai Tais.
The Chingon
(Adapted from Death & Company)
2 ounces Sauza Conmemorativo
1 1/4 ounces B&B
3/4 ounce lime juice
1/2 ounce orange juice
2 teaspoons Fee Brothers Orgeat Cordial Syrup
Orange peel, for garnish
Combine all liquid ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with orange twist.

^The News \ VOL. XXIII, No. 24 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1937 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1937 PRICE 10 CENTS Socialism Assum_, Economic Aspect In Great Britain Marxist Philosophy Not Easily Assimilated by Solid Middle Class WORKER IS RESIGNED TO MODEST AMBITIONS Goodhart Hall, May 3.�One per- son's interpretation of the philosophy of the British workman, says Mrs. Barbara Wootton, must necessarily include generalizations that are both superficial and misleading. The phi- losophy differs widely in political out- look and temperament, but the British working class itself is united for three reasons: because it is British, because it works for weekly wages, and because the wages are limited. The workman's philosophy, as such, is the same the whole industrial world over. It is one of resignation, of not expecting much from life, and it is tempered in Great Britain by only slight expectation of escape. The worker expects to be a worker all his life, never a captain of industry, or even a participant in the stock mar- ket. Escape for him is pure chance, perhaps as the winner in a football pool or a racing sweepstake. Also in common with other coun- tries is his potential envy of more fortunate economic classes, not flam- ing envy, but a potential response to appeals. All working classes have at some time expressed their resent- ment at the unevenness of distribu- tion. In reality, their ambitions are modest; with a secure income of five pounds a week their castles-in-the- air will be realized. Nevertheless, they display characteristic outbursts of mass emotion; all classes could participate in an event like George V's funeral. The coronation, how- ever, will not be attended by typical British people, because of the price of tickets, about a week's earning for low-paid workers. The typical peo- ple attend the dress rehearsal and make themselves useful by accustom- ing the royal horses to cheering. Another aspect of the British work- man^ philosophy is his desire for 'severity. Workers will forego the opportunity of rising if they can stay where they are, and pathetically great sacrifices are made by par"efits for the education of their children. For the women, security does not mean freedom. The typical working class housewife is a slave; to her "a good husband" means one who hands over the housekeeping money regu- larly on Friday, does not habitually get drunk, and stays home occasionally Continued on Page Six______ COLLEGE CALENDAR Thursday, May 6.�Lecture by John Mason Brown.

Stevens and L. Steinhardt Read Papers to Group (Especially contributed by Augusta Arnold, '38.) About thirty representatives of the Lehigh University Robert W. Blake Society visited Bryn Mawr Friday afternoon, April 30. The visit was arranged with the help of Mrs. Theo- dore De Laguna and members of the Bryn Mawr Philosophy Club. Philosophy Club delegates took the Lehigh group about the campus. Mr. Harry Helson gave an informative demonstration on/the effect of light on surface color and the contours of the sound-waves in human voices. After the tour of the campus there was "a Philosophy Club meeting and tea at which Mr. Dean Stevenson, of Lehigh, the president of the Blake Society, read a paper on Philosophy and Art. His approach to the subject was historical, and he used numerous examples to illustrate his points. Leigh Steinhardt, '37, answered him with another paper on the same topic, but her approach was purely philo- sophical. The discussion which fol- lowed was animated and broke up only when time came for dimfSr. The Lehigh delegates were enter- tained by the Philosophy Club 'and their guests at dinner in the 'Deanery, after which Mr. Donald MacKinnon gave a lecture on Phantasy d\d Per- sonality. ^ Puppet Celebrities Sing and Act Rhymes; Explorers, Animals, Literati Represented The Deanery, May 2� TJhe Yale Puppeteers presented explorers, celeb- rities, a queen and many animals, ac- companied by Ogden Nashian rhymes set to music. Flush appeared and cocked both spaniel ears in a burst of melodrama to the tune of The Read to Mandalay. He was followed by subterranian armored fishes singing with delight: "And Beebe Is coming to tea -^ To tea." Queen Victoria, in a scene not writ- ten by Laurence Rousman, is shown in heaven. The puppets are all made by the three puppeteers and were presented in separate scenes. Mr. Ibbity Brown writes all the words and tunes and has published a book, Punch'e Prog- ress (Macmillan) describing the pup- peteers' ten years' experience. All three�Mr. Sibbity Burnett and Mr. Sabbaty Bnu.� _-v tba^uft***'!' sing occasional choruses, give some speeches�and went to Yale. In the first scene two musicians per- formed a piano duet, complete with dramatic gestures and trills, on minia- ture white pianos. Most of the stage pieces were white and showed up sharply against the black drop. Lit- tle spot lights fixed on the figures were dimmed and changed at appro- priate moments. The characters� among them Mrs. Martin Johnson, Walter Hampden and Katherine Cor- nell, Rear Admiral Byrd and Gert- rude Stein�were amusingly intro- duced by Mr. Brown, and their ex- ploits and peculiarities taken off in his verses. Cleopatra, not the queen but "a sort of Fanny Brice of a horse," ar- rayed in a beaded gown, swinging red skirt and diamond hoofs, exhibited the night life of Cairo, niinois�with dance and song. That "rocking chair racketeer," Mr. Alexander Woolcott, on the other hand, is merely "sittin' in Sutton Place knittin' � (literally, too) and weaving the "gossamer fabrics of Woolcottiana." Clowns twirled to The Merry Widow Waltz on a little white and blue see- saw, and ended triumphantly in a double handstand. This last was exe- cuted cautiously and laboriously, with a reality that was a masterpiece oi string-pulling. The puppeteers finally shed light on Admiral Byrd's mysterious lone Continued on Pas* fmv President Park crowns Lucy Huxley Kimbcrhj, :57, Queen of the May , , Kittredge Discusses Shakespeare's Villains t ��� Intellectual Hatred in Edmund Contrasted With Diabolic Passion in Iago EVIL IS AARON'S GOOD Petrified Forest Given By Cap and Bells Club 'Haverford and Bryn Mawr Cast Share Honors in Play Goodhart, April 29.�"I trust you will find the subject congenial," said Mr. George Lyman Kittredge as he began the Ann Elizabeth Sheble Memorial Lecture on Shakespeare's VUlains; After this introduction to hiVfirst visit to Bryn Mawr, he im- mediately entered into a detailed dis- cussion of the villains, quoting ex- tensivelyNfrom the texts of the plays. Aaron in Ttt1M~Andronicus was in love with villainy, said Mr. Kittredge. Crime^was his element, and his creed, like Satan's, was "evil be thou my good." The fact that he was born under Saturn meajij much to our an- cestors who puti great faith in astrology. Aaroa's one redeeming feature was his/ love for his baby, whose lullaby, *said Mr. Kittredge, "Marlowe couldn't have written." If there had been no Aaron there would be no Othello. Similarly, the character of Iago had a direct influ- ence on the development of Edmund in King Lear. .Both had legitimate motives for resentment, but Iago's hatred is passionate, diabolical, whereas Edmund's love for crime is calmly intellectual, bearing neither hatred nor malice. When Coleridge called Iago's malignity "motiveless" he was wrong, for the villain had two passionate motives: a sense of in- justice, to which he merely alludes; and suspicion of Othello, fostered by jealousy and based on rumor, to which he refers in his soliloquies. Edmund, Unlike Iago, Is dispassion- ate. He has no hatred for his vic- tims. He has, however, a valid case, being wronged first by the law of primogeniture which cut him, a youngest son, from any inheritance, and secondly by society's distinction between a "natural" and a "legiti- mate" son. A natural son, he says in the true Elizabethan manner, should get natural rights. Iago, too, is wronged when Cassio is promoted over his head. Before that he had done nothing villainous. He used Roderigo for sport, to be sure, but that was not bad form in Shakespeare's time. Resentment, not -murder, is therefore justified. At first he has no thought 'of murder. He is merely trying to use his oppor- tunity to get Cassio's place, to worry Othello, and perhaps even to win Desdemona. In other words he is a typical army officer in Elizabethan drama and life. Don John, the bastard brother in Much Ado About Nothing, is not as clever as Iago or Edmund. He is a "genius of brooding moroseness," a Continued oir I^o'r�. " �"T Haverford, April 30.�Even exclud- ing the fact that The Petrified Forest has an unusual number of male parts, it is not hard to understand why The Cap and Bells Club chose it for their spiing performance. True to Sher- wood tradition, the play evolves from the chance gathering of a cross-section of humanity, motivated by some com- mon, external source of tension. This provides almost every member of the cast with an important and individual part. In particular, T. Simmon's old grandpa, T. Watkin's amorous, gum- ohewing football star, and R. Aucott's cherubic Jackie were exceptionally well played. Margaret Otis, '39, and Sam Withers as the discontented Chisolms, C. Baum as Herb, Ellen Matteson, '40, as the Mexican cook, and linesmen, gangsters and legion- naires, while they may have erred on the side of over-acting, were all dis- tinct personalities, rigid parts of a complicated counter-point of character and diction. There are, none the less, certain difficulties involved in an amateur pro- duction of^this play> the fact that al- most every member of the audience had seen either the Broadway or movie version and that practically no acting and a great many technical problems occur during the course of its two acts. These were handled with notable sue cess. While the personality of Leslie Howard almost completely dominated the Broadway production, the script does not necessarily call for this in- terpretation. The play belongs to Gabby as well, and VTrginia Lautz, '39, showed this throughout her per- formance. A paradoxical character reflecting the drabnesS of a filling sta- tion and the poetry of Francois Vil- lon, she seemed to deserve Alan's sac- rifice; she was naive, direct and genu- ine as well as romantic. This two- sided personality must have been hard Continues on Pace Five Lantern Elections The following freshmen have been elected to the Lantern: Vrylena Olney, '40, and Mary Kate Wheeler, '40. Senior Reading Period Mrs. Manning has asked the News to print the following statement about the proposed senior reading period: The Faculty at its meet- ing last week considered the petition of the senior class for a reading period be- tween May 10 and May 14. It was decided that in view of the difficulties of prepar- ation in this, the first year of the final examination in the major subject, the cuts taken by seniors after Tues- day, May 11, would .not be Sftunte*-in, their attendance ' record, and also the depart- ments should be asked to lighten the assignments of new material in advanced courses so as to give the seniors more free time in the last week of classes. Dewilda Naramore Will be Next Year's Hinchman Scholar Little May Day is Occasion For "Intelligent Rowdiness" As Usual LUCY KIMBERLY, '37, CROWNED MAY QUEEN This year's May Day, which broke with gradually mounting brilliance on the morning of the 30 of April, was again the occasion for what Miss Park termed an "Intelligent rowdi- ness." But like the day itself, this- attitude among the students was a cumulative process. At 5.30 a. m. neither intelligence nor rowdiness were particularly noticeable among either the sophomores, who prepared coffee and rolls and then woke the seniors with singing and baskets of flowers, or among the seniors who soon discovered that the morning was not only "new" but practically non- existent when they arose to partake of the afore-mentioned coffee and rolls before setting out to wake Miss Park. At seven o'clock the rest of the college gathered under Rockefeller tower to hear the seniors' Hymn to the Sun, which had put in an appear- ance by this time. After watching the seniors come downstairs, the presi- dent of the sophomore class, Nancy _ Toll, crowned the president of the senior class, Lucy Kimberley, Queen of the May. Each class breakfasted in a different hall. Thus fortified, the entire student body entered into the spirit of the day with true Eliza- bethan abandon. Independent couples began to side and arm, small groups collected to rehearse the May Day songs anj those who owned cameras prepared to immortalize the events of the morn- ing. Even the sombre nucleus of re- porters, who had been standing by with detached curiosity, jigged up and down a bit when the brassy booms of the traditional band an- nounced the arrival of the senior class, while the three lower classes joined the hop-skip-and-jump, of the seniors. The college at large rushed to ffircle the four May-poles standing upon Merion Green. , When, the May-poles were wound, Miss Park presented Lucy Kimberley with an amber necklace, which she said she had had great difficulty in hiding from the seniors when they came to wake her, and Miss Kim- berley cast a rhymed glance into the future: "So as the last will and bequest of these ninety-four Janus-headed guinea pigs e'er they go out of door, I offer past and present A reconstruction of a future anni- versary which I hope you'll find Continued on Pace Three J. M. BROWN WILL GIVE 'BROADWAY IN REVIEW' On Thursday, May 6, the college will again have the opportunity of hearing Mr. John Mason Brown, dra- matic critic of the New York Evening Pott, in an informal resume of the current New York theatrical season, entitled Broadway in Review. Mr. Brown spoke last year in the Deanery to an audience whose size and manifest appreciation led the Under- graduate Committee on Entertain- ments to reserve part of its fund so that he might return this year. How- ever, he has generously donated the entire amount of his lecture fee to the "Mrs. Otis Skinner Memorial Theater Workshop," a project in which aa a student and critic of the drama Mr. Brown is very much interested. . In addition to his reviews for the Post and numerous contributions to magazines, Mr. Brown is the author of The Modern Theater in Retfolt, Up- stage�The American Theater in Per- formance and Letter* From Green- room Ghosts. The lecture will be given at 8.30 p. m. in the auditorium of Goodhart Hall.

Staff Writer
Study abroad often serves as a time of inspiration and reflection for those experiencing a culture apart from their own, and many Goucher students have returned from a winter, summer or semester abroad with fresh ideas in their head, ready to share their energy and ideas with their peers. This year has been no different, and it was such inspiration that planted the initial seed for the birth and development of an exciting new addition to our campus—the Art History Club.

Testicular cancer is cancer that starts in the testicles, the male reproductive glands located in the scrotum.
Cancer - testes; Germ cell tumor; Seminoma testicular cancer; Nonseminoma testicular cancer
The exact cause of testicular cancer is unknown. Factors that may increase a man's risk of developing testicular cancer increases if he has:
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 35. It can occur in older men, and in rare cases, in younger boys.
White men are more likely than African American and Asian American men to develop this type of cancer.
There is no link between vasectomy and testicular cancer.
There are two main types of testicular cancer, seminomas and nonseminomas. These cancers grow from germ cells, the cells that make sperm.
Seminoma: This is a slow-growing form of testicular cancer usually found in men in their 30s and 40s. The cancer is usually just in the testes, but it can spread to the lymph nodes. Seminomas are very sensitive to radiation therapy.
Nonseminoma: This more common type of testicular cancer tends to grow more quickly than seminomas.
Nonseminoma tumors are often made up of more than one type of cell, and are identified according to these different cell types:
A stromal tumor is a rare type of testicular tumor. They are usually not cancerous. The two main types of stromal tumors are Leydig cell tumors and Sertoli cell tumors. Stromal tumors usually occur during childhood.
There may be no symptoms. If there are symptoms, they may include:
Symptoms in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, abdomen, pelvis, back, or brain, may also occur if the cancer has spread outside the testicles.
A physical examination typically reveals a firm lump (mass) in one of the testicles. When the health care provider holds a flashlight up to the scrotum, the light does not pass through the lump.
Other tests include:
Treatment depends on the:
Once cancer is found, the first step is to determine the type of cancer cell by examining it under a microscope. The cells can be seminoma, nonseminoma, or both.
The next step is to determine how far the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. This is called "staging."
Three types of treatment can be used.
Joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems can often help the stress of illness.
Testicular cancer is one of the most treatable and curable cancers.
The survival rate for men with early-stage seminoma (the least aggressive type of testicular cancer) is greater than 95%. The disease-free survival rate for Stage II and III cancers is slightly lower, depending on the size of the tumor and when treatment is begun.
Testicular cancer may spread to other parts of the body. The most common sites include the:
Complications of surgery can include:
If you think you may want to have children in the future, ask your doctor about methods to save your sperm for use at a later date.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of testicular cancer.
Performing a testicular self-examination (TSE) each month may help detect testicular cancer at an early stage, before it spreads. Finding testicular cancer early is important to successful treatment and survival.

Can a massage therapist obtain special training to work with cancer patients?
Wayne Mylin, Dipl. ABT (NCCAOM), AOBTA-CP is an Asian Bodywork Therapist specializing in Shiatsu and Acupressure at Pennsylvania Hospital, responds:
There are some massage schools that provide 'certificate' programs to work with cancer patients - but not many and there is always the question of the quality of those training programs. More often, good training comes in the form of workshops, seminars, and mentoring with therapists and teachers that have significant hands-on experience in working with cancer patients. I advise finding a good mentor/teacher or checking out the actual experience of the instructors of 'certificate' programs.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. See full archive of IntegrativeTherapies in Cancer Care.
Mar 5, 2015 - Medical students and residents do not get consistent access to training in how to conduct a skin cancer examination, and need more education on how to look for skin cancer during routine medical examinations, according to a study published in the October issue of the Archives of Dermatology.

Posts Tagged: Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility
Carpenter Bees Like Almond Blossoms, Too
We're accustomed to seeing honey bees pollinating the almonds.
But carpenter bees do, too.
We spotted a female Valley carpenter bee, Xylocopa varipuncta, foraging in an almond tree on Feb. 24 in a field adjacent to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road, University of California, Davis.
Sounding like a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet, this lone carpenter bee buzzed loudly as she visited one blossom after another. She was on a mission: a do-not-linger, do-not-stop-me, and get-out-of-my-way mission.
The Valley carpenter bees, about the size of bumble bees, are the largest carpenter bees in California. The girls are solid black, while the boys are blond with green eyes. We can't count how many times people think the males are "golden bumble bees."
It's rare to get an image of "a blond and a brunette" (male and female) in the same photo. Gary Park, a contributor to BugGuide.net, did just that. Check out his amazing photos of a pair mating.
Carpenter bees derive their name from drilling holes in untreated, unfinished wood to make their nests. Only the females excavate the wood. Contrary to popular opinion, they do not eat the wood. To prevent these bees from nesting in your fence posts or deck, just paint or varnish the wood. We know some folks who like having them around and leave wood untreated and unfinished.
First and foremost, however, carpenter bees are pollinators. Excellent pollinators.
Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor entomology at UC Davis, tries to convince people to live with these bees as "they are important pollinators in our environment and have potential as pollinators of some crops."

Can a Bee Unscrew the Sting?
When a honey bee stings you, she makes the supreme sacrifice and dies. She's usually defending her colony. In the process, she leaves behind part of her abdomen. A beekeeper simply scrapes the sting with a fingernail or a hive tool to stop the pulsating venom and continues working.
But is it ever possible for a bee to "unscrew the sting?"
A beginning beekeeper asked Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, that very question last week.
She prefaced her question this way: "Richard Dawkins wrote in his biography that he observed a bee working her stinger out of his hand--unscrewing, so to speak--thereby not losing her stinger or her life. Is this true? I'm just a beginning beekeeper but have read many books on the subject and have never come across this interesting bit of information."
Mussen has been asked thousands of questions about bees since he joined the UC Davis faculty in 1976. Bee stings are just one of the topics. Like all beekeepers, he's been stung many times. It's no big deal. However, one documented bee sting (below) turned out to be rather a big deal. It went viral. (It went from winning a feature photo contest sponsored by the Association for Communication Excellence (ACE), an international association of communicators, educators and information technologists, to being named the Huffington Post's "Most Amazing Photos of 2012"; one of the Sacramento Bee's top 10 news stories of 2012; and My Science Academy's top photos of the year. Along the way, scores of websites named it "Picture of the Day." It also will appear in a number of books.)
The photo (taken by yours truly) shows Mussen being stung by a bee in the apiary of the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road, UC Davis. At the time, we were walking through the apiary when he noticed a bee loudly buzzing around him. "Get your camera ready, Kathy," he said. "The bee's going to sting me."
That's exactly what the bee did. If you look closely, you can see the abdominal tissue, aka "guts," as she's trying to pull away. Usually a bee sting is a clean break.
So, can a bee "unscrew the sting?"
"As you may know, the sting of an adult worker honey bee has backward-pointing barbs that tend to hold the bee sting in the victim's flesh," Mussen told the beekeeper. "However, how well the sting stays stuck depends upon how deeply it was pushed in. Yes, some bees seem to make only a half-hearted effort to sting. The point of the sting pierces the skin, but doesn't go in very deeply. At that point, the sting can be pulled out if the bee begins to leave. It goes back up, inside the bee, but I do not know if, or how much, damage was done to the bee."
"These half-hearted stings are more commonly encountered with quite young workers. Sometimes the sting remains, but no venom is felt. Sometimes, a slight tinge of venom is momentarily noticed, then it is gone. So, while most stings are the full-blown, driven-pretty-deep-into-the-flesh type, there are less assertive attempts that result in intermediate sting results. The sting cannot be 'unscrewed,' because the barbs on the sting are directly across from each other and not in a spiral. However, the barbs are larger as the sting penetrates deeper."

The Lovely Ladies at the Laidlaw
The three queen bumble bees (Bombus melanopygus) we found buzzing around our porch light the night of Jan. 9 are still very much alive.
Who would have "thunk?"
Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, is caring for them at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road.
Thorp, who officially retired in 1994, maintains an active research and bee monitoring/identification program based as the Laidlaw facility. He recently co-authored a book on Bumble Bees of North America: An identification Guide (Princeton University Press), to be released in March.
So yesterday photographer/artist Allan Jones of Davis and I checked out "The Lovely Ladies at the Laidlaw." Yes, they're very much alive.
But it sure was strange on Jan. 9 to see them as as night fliers, or porch-light bumble bees. I figured they were parasitized. I figured that a florid fly, Apocephalus borealis, which lays its eggs in such insects as bumble bees, wasps and honey bees, had nailed them. I figured they'd be goners within a few days.
I hope I'm wrong.
It's long been known that Apocephalus borealis infests bumble bees. However, Professor John Hafernik of San Francisco State University and his colleagues caused quite a media stir when they discovered that this fly infests honey bees as well. They published their work, "A New Threat to Honey Bees, the Parasitic Phorid Fly, Apocephalus borealis," in PLOS ONE back in January 2012. They revealed that the parasitized, disoriented honey bees (which they nicknamed "Zombies" or "ZomBees") leave their hives at night and head for the lights.
"After being parasitized by the fly, the bees abandon their hives in what is literally a flight of the living dead to congregate near lights," said Andrew Core of the Hafernik lab. 'When we observed the bees for some time—the ones that were alive—we found that they walked around in circles, often with no sense of direction."
What's next?
Fingers crossed that the three queen bumble bees aren't parasitized. Fingers crossed that they will survive. Fingers crossed that they will continue to be "The Lovely Ladies at the Laidlaw."

Why Keep Bees?
Beekeeper Brian Fishback of Wilton is quick to answer that.
"Bees," he says, "teach us core family values. Bees have to take care of each other and work together for the success of the colony, just as people do for the success of their families."
Fishback, a past president of the Sacramento Area Beekeepers' Association, a member of the California State Beekeepers' Association, and a former volunteer at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at the University of California, Davis, instills his love of bees and beekeeping to everyone around him.
He and his wife, Darla, are teaching those bee-driven core family values to their two daughters Emily, 3, and Jane, 18 months (a third daughter is due this month). The girls have been around bees since birth. The Fishbacks keep 89 hives on their Wilton ranch, the BD Ranch and Apiary. So committed are they to bees that their website is www.beesarelife.com.
Through community outreach programs, Brian Fishback eagerly takes every opportunity to educate the public about honey bees. He displays his bee observation hives at the California State Fair and Dixon May Fair; engages in classroom, farm and other educational presentations; and annually hosts the American Honey Bee Queen, sponsored by the American Beekeeping Federation.
In his spare time, Fishback teaches introductory and advanced beekeeping classes at the Soil Born Farms, located at 2140 Chase Drive, Rancho Cordova. His next class begins March 8 and will be a two-part class, covering both beginning beekeeping and a more advanced session (See registration information. Sign-ups are now underway.)
What's different about his classes? For one: The students (who are primarily young adults) don't just stand back and observe him opening a hive. "They're going to work a hive that day," he says.
Fishback remembers the joy he felt when he first opened a hive. "From the first moment I opened a hive and held a full frame of brood covered with bees, I was in utopia. Everything came together. In my hand I held the essence of core family values."
That was in 2008.
It was also the year he and Darla purchased the Wilton ranch to pursue a self-sustaining life. "I catapulted into this way of life, knowing that honey bees would provide us with pollination as well as a natural sweetener," Fishback recalled.
In the fall of 2010, he began volunteering at the Laidlaw facility. One of his goals was to gain more knowledge to share in his community outreach programs. He worked with bee breeder-geneticist Susan Cobey, beekeeper/research associate Elizabeth Frost, and Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen, among others. He assisted Cobey with her classes on queen-rearing and instrumental insemination and her class field trips to Butte County to visit commercial queen bee breeders. Fishback also took on tasks that needed to be done around the Laidlaw facility, such as mowing the lawn around the apiary.
Another highlight: Fishback participated in a bee beard activity that Cobey coordinated for a small group of Laidlaw beekeeping staff and volunteers. (See top photo).
Fishback continues his outreach programs "to encourage interest in honey bees and to share the importance of the honey bee to our environment and our food supply." When he visits school classrooms, he delights in asking students to single out the queen bee, workers and drones in his bee observation hive.
That's not all.
"I allow anyone or any group with an interest agriculture, small-scale farming and of course, beekeeping, to take a day tour of my ranch, get in a bee suit, and feel the joy that life has to offer."

The Opening of the Hives
Thursday, Oct. 17 is Pest Management Day at UC Davis.
That's when the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) partners with the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources for the 21st Century Invasive Pest Management Symposium Series: "Globalization, Climate Change and Other 21st Century Challenges" at the UC Davis Conference Center.
It's actually the fourth in a series of symposia on invasive pest management. This one deals with "Invasion Biology (Part 2): Invasive Insects, Disease and Nematodes." Daniel Simberloff, professor of environmental science ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Tennessee, will keynote the symposium.
Who will be there? According to organizer David Pegos, CDFA special assistant for plant health, the attendees represent non-governmental organizations, industry, academia and other interested parties. "In addition to the CDFA leadership team, represented will be the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services, the County Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association, UC Cooperative Extension, and the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program," Pegos said.
The goals of the symposium are two-fold: (1) to explore 21st century invasive pest management challenges and possible improvements to CDFA policies and procedures, and (2) to foster communication and understanding among the diverse people involved in California's food and agricultural systems.
But today, a group of conference attendees met at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road to look not at pests, but at beneficial insects—honey bees.
Billy Synk, who wears three hats (beekeeper, staff research associate and manager of the Laidlaw facility), talked about bees and their health, answered questions, and then the group donned protective gear to take a close look at a colony.
Synk pointed out the queen bee, the workers and the immature brood, much to the fascination of the group. Many had never been that close to bees before. "I stepped on one once," said one woman.
That was about as close as she could get--until now.

4 Only essential for absolute Killers fansChrisEyre | 03/12/2012 | See all ChrisEyre's reviews (3)I am an absolute Killers fan and hence I had to own this album - but, if the truth is known, the songs on this album do not reach the quality of Day and Age or Brandon's solo album - there is a lack of really memorable tracks suggesting that the band is fulfilling its contractual obligations with their record company and that Brandon reserved the best tracks for his own album, Flamingo - let's hope the next Killers release has more inspiration.
2 So Dissapointingstarr69 | 28/09/2012 | See all starr69's reviews (25)am i the only one that thinks this album is dull dont get me wrong i am a big killers fan and have all their albums including brandons solo effort.

I have played this album 8 times and possibly found two other tracks are pretty good carry me home and heart of a girl but by now like their previous albums i should love it by now I actualy prefer brandon flowers solo album than this as better production and melodies and remember it was going to be the next killers album but other band members decided to take a break which left brandon to release it has a solo album and the big song saved for battle born was obviously runaways that wasnt included on his solo album. This album is more like sams town than day and age which i prefer but sorry this album doesnt live up to their first two albums.
