MARCH 10,1926 PRICE, 10 CENTS MISS STRONG DESCRIBES RECOVERY OF RUSSIA Social System of Russia Completely Changed Through Breakdown of Patriarchal Government ONLY WORKERS RULE IN MOSCOW "What's New in Russja"' was the sub- ject of tile lecture delivered last Frjday night by Miss Anna Louise Strong, under the auspices of the Liberal Club. "The most interesting thing that I have t seen during my years in Russia," she be- gan, "has been the tremendous speed of recovery from the war." There has been a steady rise for four and a half years Troin complete disorganization. After the war there was not a town in Russia where the people were well fed, no fac- tory running at more than one-fifth of its pre-war power. All the factories had been used for war production and were almost completely worn out. Now the country is scarcely recognizable. One can travel there in comfort, and there are no crimes of violence comparable with those in Chicago or New York. If you were to go to Russia yon wouldn't sec any signs of Communism. You would pay for your purchases, and pay in street cars, just as in any capital- istic State. Only through a study of the basis of organization of society would you see the difference. How is this new Russia different from CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 EXPERIMENT IS ALWAYS NEEDED IF WE HOPE TO PROGRESS Each Generation, Says Dr. Carry Must Challenge Institutions < MME. CARO-DELVAILLE LECTURES ON L'ART DECORATIF FRANCAIS "What is life all about anyhow?" was the subject announced fo'r Dr. Bruce Curry's ' lecture Wednesday evening, March 3, and the large gathering in F settled back, confident that all their wor- ries were to be settled by an authority. Hut Dr. Curry's first wcTrds wrecked all their hopes: "So far as I know, this is a question that cannot be answered by any- >nc." Dr. Curry then proceeded to raise �cvcr-al more questions in the minds of the crest fallen audience. � "We come into life inheriting things Ihat people before us have spent most of their time perfecting so that our lives may be enriched.

Now Visiting American Colleges Describe Work The president of the Confederation In- ternational des Ktudiants, Mr. Balinski. and a former vice president. Mr. Fcrencc Dcak, spoke to the members of the Lib- eral Club at a tea in the sitting room of Pembroke Bast, last Tuesday afternoon. The student tours in Europe next sum- mer which arc now being organized by the C. I. E. were described. The remark- able cheapness of the tours, the associa- tion of small congenial groups from their respective colleges, and the opportunity to meet foreign students and. above all, to learn something of Europcau people and ways, were urged by the speakers. A variety of tours are now being planned, from which the prospective traveler may choose, including a week or two of at- tendance at the School of International I'olitics to be held at Geneva this sum- mer, and in September to attend at the Assembly meetings of the League of Nations. *" Knowledge shared by all the nations of the problems with which each is con- fronted, of the character and manners of each, a knowledge that will lead to greater opportunity for world peace, was declared the aim of the C. I. E. founded after the Great War; it seems now to be overcom- ing the difficulties of war enmities. It has received the hearty approval and support of the Committee on Intellectual Co-operation of the League of Nations, though the C. I. E. has no official con- nection with the League. Through the assistance of the League and the gov- ernments of Europe it hopes soon to issue to the students on its tours a card of iden- tification that will obviate all the expense and complications of passports visas, stitutions have the double functions of enriching and interpreting life. Every younger generation reserves the right la criticise them. _ Our generation has re- volted against the strict conventions of the social part of life only." It is not only our right but our sacred duty, according to Dr. Curry, to challenge these institutions. If we do not revise them, the pressure will become too great, the lid will blow off and we, will have revolution. "The world as it is, is continually changing and groping towards the world as it should be�but what should it be? How ought life to be lived anyhow? We all have our conceptions of this: they started long ago with Plato's Ideal State and have continued down through the long list of I'topias. It is the job of everyone to have some idea as to how CONTINUKD ON PAGE 5 BRYN MAWR DEFEATS PENN FIGHTING AND FUMBLING liant original literature of the times, began to ask the question. "Why Copy?" A few artists handed together and formed the school of Nancy. In origin they were senti- mental and were a part of the general move- ment of Romanticism. Similar to Gothic art they copied nature and used rustic mo- tifs like the cabbage, ivy, etc., in their de- signs. However their work was not archi- tectural; it was not definite, not organized, not static. Their backers, who were mostly amateurs, therefore soon tired of them. Another school then sprang up in I'aris with the object of creating entirely new lines in furniture. They tyrned out pieces of furniture which were so fantastic that one hardly knew their use. In fact their work was quite- capable of giving an impression- able ehilil night-marcs. It is not a great wonder then that this school died a natural death. CONTINUBD ON VMSK S At a meeting of the Undergraduate Association last Wednesday afternoon, the report of the May Day Committee was given bj G. Thomas, '86, chairman. "Although it may seem early to begin considering the possibility of a May Day in I0S8," began Miss Thomas, "it is im- portant that the sophomores and fresh- men of today (on whom the responsibility of next May Day wilt.icstl be told some- thing of the way in which it is managed" The decision in 1939 was almost unani- mously in favor of presenting another elaborate and impressive May Day on the condition, however, that it be sim- plified, to relieve the undue pressure on the undergraduates. The present com- mittee was therefore appointed for the purpose of discovering means of simplifi- cation. The obvious features of May Day its procession; its pageant, the dames, and the plays�are more or less familiar to everyone, if not from (ficperieiice; at least iVom hearsay. The organization by which it is handled is hardly so simple nor s.r Successful. In the first place, the work to hi' done is divided up and apportioned to CONTINUED on PAQH 'i PLEASANT SOLUTION TO PROBLEM OF ORALS OFFERED F. Jay Outstanding in Poorly Played Game I'laying a last but messy game. Varsity defeated the University of Pennsylvania 6. Within the first few moments of play, A. Brucrc. '28, put the ball in, and this started Varsity on a series of baskets. A good deal of fouling with some de- termined fighting characterized the Penn- sylvania team. Their star player was Miss Jones, who made a basket whenever she got her hands on the ball. The first half was full of fumbles, witlv a good deal of scrapping over the ball which Varsity centres managed to keep at Bryn Mawr's end almost the whole time. The second half was quicker with some clean passing the entire length of the field by Varsity. There was less fumbling in this half, also. While F. Jay. '20. did some pretty play- ing, making long-distance goals and always seeming to be free, the victory was largely due to the good work of Varsity guards and centres who kept the ball away from Pennsylvania. The line-up was as follows: JUNIORS LEAD AFTER FIRST GYM MEET HELD FRIDAY M. Cruikshank, '27, Stars; Danish Gym Team New 193? won first place in the gym meet Friday, March (>, with '.>.">.:> points.

Since only '28 and '39 had Danish gym teams, something new this year, it has not been decided how to count them in the final score. With a unanimity and excellence Ihat showed long practice, '27 kept up a stand- ard which brought it first place in every event '28. while doing some things very well, lacked a sense of rhythm. While the Seniors made a good appearance, they lost points on details. '29 showed an un- certaimiess that will have doubtless worn off by the second meet. � In the individuals M< Cruikshank. '27. was outstanding in the success of her performance and the perfection of her control. E. Cushman, '36, also did profi- cient work. The teams were as follows: 1936�E. Cushman, II. Smith, F.

Pass Summer in Berlin and Learn German According to Dr. Prokoscb, who spoke in chapel Wednesday morning, March :i, year after a period of inactivity dating from pre-war days, The University of Berlin has made a special offer for American students with no knowledge of German. This offer in- cludes a six weeks' course at lierlin, con- sisting of sixty hours of the actual study f German and thirty hours spent on gen- eral. subjects: the total expenses of the trip, which leaves New York on June :!'.> ami retttTiis from llrcmcii "ii September I. are only $388. For those more advanced students sev- eral other universities offer more iuformaj courses. The University <>f. Heidelberg and the University of Innsbruck will be delighted to make arrangements for American Students. Another trip through Germany, involving a systematic course for which certain colleges will give credits, is also being planned. Life for the foreigner in Germany was decidedly unpleasant just after the war due to general bad conditions and lack of trust Now Germany is beginning to real- ize how* much she owes tO America for reconstruction, and the American has be- come very popular and well likeil. 1929 COMPETITION Freshmen interested in trying out for the Editorial Board of THE COLLEGE NEWS should see J.

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to the body's tissues.
Red blood cells last for about 120 days before the body gets rid of them. In hemolytic anemia, red blood cells in the blood are destroyed earlier than normal.
Immune hemolytic anemia occurs when antibodies form against the body's own red blood cells and destroy them. This happens because the immune system mistakenly recognizes these blood cells as foreign.
Anemia - immune hemolytic; Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA)
Possible causes include:
When antibodies form against red blood cells for no reason, the condition is called idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
The antibodies may also be caused by:
Risk factors are related to the causes.
You may not have symptoms if the anemia is mild. If the problem develops slowly, symptoms that may occur first include:
If the anemia gets worse, symptoms may include:
The first treatment tried is usually a steroid medication, such as prednisone. If steroid medications do not improve the condition, treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or removal of the spleen (splenectomy) may be considered.
You may receive treatment to suppress your immune system if you do not respond to steroids and splenectomy. Medications such as azathioprine (Imuran), cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), and rituximab (Rituxan) have been used.
Blood transfusions are given with caution, because the blood may not be compatible and it may cause more red blood cell destruction.
The disease may start quickly and be very serious, or it may stay mild and not need special treatment.
In most people, steroids or splenectomy can totally or partially control anemia.
Severe anemia rarely leads to death. Severe infection may occur as a complication of treatment with steroids, other medicines that suppress the immune system, or splenectomy. These treatments impair the body's ability to fight infection.
Call your health care provider if you have unexplained fatigue or chest pain, or signs of infection.
Screening for antibodies in donated blood and in the recipient may prevent hemolytic anemia related to blood transfusions.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Sandra Webster, professor of psychology, recently had her research published in The Korea Fulbright Infusion (Volume 5).
"Pursuing Han" discusses two Korean emotions and how those emotions are expressed through art. "Han" is a painful experience not expressed outwardly through facial expressions or through conversation; but through poetry, songs, drama and visual arts. Webster also connects "jeong," a strong feeling of "we"-ness, to the resolution of "han" and discusses the expression of that emotion through the arts.
Click here to read the entire article.
Webster was a 2000 Fulbright Lecturer in psychology at Korea University and Sungshin Women's University in Seoul.
Webster, who has been with Westminster since 1983, earned undergraduate and master's degrees and Ph.D. from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. She specializes in research and design and is the author of the textbook Hand in Hand: Research Design and Statistics for Behavioral Sciences.

Halak even torments Ovechkin in video games
James O'Brien Jan 18, 2012, 7:43 PM EST
5 Comments
When you're a dazzling goal-scorer on Alex Ovechkin's level, it's not often that a goalie has your "number," so it's easy to make note of the guys who defy you.
It's likely that Jaroslav Halak ranks high on Ovechkin's list. The Slovakian goalie was the main reason that the Montreal Canadiens topped Ovechkin's Washington Capitals in the 2010 playoffs and Halak also spoiled Dale Hunter's coaching debut as a member of the St. Louis Blues.
The frustration doesn't stop in reality, though. The Washington Times' Stephen Whyno reveals that the digital version of Halak gives Ovechkin fits, too.
"Actually, it's funny story," Ovechkin said. "Last night I was with my friend in my home and we play video game and Halak stopped [everything]. Halak was the first star of the day. And my friend just told me, 'Jesus Christ, this guy just destroy in playoffs.' I don't want to talk about it."
(Hopefully Halak's performance didn't force Ovechkin to chuck a controller in frustration, like a certain well-adjusted and totally mature hockey blogger.)
In case you're wondering, Halak's current NHL 12 rating is an 88 out of 100, ranking him high among polygonal puck-stoppers – and first place among Ovi irritants.

The Naschmarkt is a small world unto itself
Not far removed from Karlsplatz square, a market filled with countless stands, big and small, extends out along the Wien river (which is actually below ground at this point) and the U4 underground line.
The variety of culinary offerings - from Styrian apples to exotic foods from (virtually) every corner of the earth - leaves no wish unfulfilled. And hidden in-between, small snack bars invite you to stop and relax for a while. Jugendstil architecture has very much left its mark on this area, an area filled with galleries and gathering places for the young art scene. And every week on Saturday, the enormous car park next to the Naschmarkt is transformed into a colorful flea market.
A 7-minute walk from Hotel Tyrol.

text: The Testing Center is committed to providing excellent customer service to our students, faculty and community, while ensuring the integrity of testing in a secure environment. Whether you're aiming to further your education, enter the workforce, or advance your present career. The Testing Center administers two types of tests: placement tests for incoming freshmen, and exit tests from students completing remediation or workshops. Through the following links, you will be able to access more information on the tests that we provide. You can find sample test questions and test scoring rules. A HCC photo ID or valid government-issued ID (driver's license or state identification card) is required for all testing – No Exceptions. *OFFICE HOURS Monday 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Tuesday 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Wednesday 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Thursday 9:00 a.m. - 6:45 p.m. Friday 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. *Hours may change if testing is being conducted. Entering Freshmen Results of CUNY and Hostos assessment tests are used to determine placement into the appropriate level of classes in reading, writing, English as a Second Language (ESL), mathematics, Spanish, or foreign language. Students who are placed in remedial or developmental courses will have an opportunity to retake the CUNY assessment test(s) after successfully completing those courses. Students should consult with an academic advisor or counselor to ensure that they meet the progress requirements of specific majors. Transfer Students Students who are transferring from a college outside of CUNY may need to take some or all of the placement tests. Students transferring from another CUNY college must have their skills test results transmitted to the Testing Center through the University's UAPC system. CUNY regulations prohibit the acceptance of assessment test scores in the form of paper transcripts or similar records. Students whose testing records are incomplete in the UAPC system must contact the CUNY college from which they are transferring to have their test records updated in UAPC. To avoid delays, this should be done well in advance of registration. Transfer students from other CUNY colleges should also be aware that passing a remedial or developmental course in another college is not the same as passing the associated CUNY assessment tests. Students who are re-admitting to CUNY after a period of non-enrollment may retake their CUNY assessment tests, if those tests not passed were taken at least three years prior to the term of re-admission. Placements will be updated based on the most current test scores provided. Students transferring from colleges outside of CUNY must take the reading, writing, and mathematics skills assessment tests, unless they have an exemption. Exemptions from Testing Reading and Writing You can demonstrate the necessary skill levels in reading and writing by meeting any of these criteria: SAT Critical Reading score of 480 or higher ACT English score of 20 or higher N.Y. State English Regents score of 75 or higher Mathematics Students are considered proficient in mathematics if they can document any one of the following: SAT Math score of 500 or higher ACT Math score of 21 or higher N.Y. State Regents: Score of 80 or higher in Integrated Algebra, Geometry, or Algebra 2/Trigonometry AND successful completion of the Algebra 2/Trigonometry or higher-level course. Score of 75 or higher in one of the following: Math A or Math B Sequential II or Sequential III CUNY Assessment Tests: Numerical skills/pre-algebra (Math 1) score of 45 or higher (passing M1) Algebra (Math 2) score of 40 or higher (passing M2) Students' need for mathematics remediation is based on results of the first two sections of the test: numerical skills/pre-algebra and algebra. All students will begin the test in algebra, and based on the performance in this section, will be routed downward into numerical skills/ pre-algebra, or upward into college algebra. The test covers progressively advanced topics with placement into more advanced mathematics or mathematics-related courses based on results of the last three sections of the test. Minimum scores for entrance into these courses are set by the individual colleges based on their requirements and curricula. All incoming freshmen who, based on their math SAT or Regents scores, have met the math college readiness/proficiency requirement will still be required to take the Math 3 test for placement into advanced mathematics. Math 3 is comprised of algebra, college algebra and trigonometry. For freshmen students entering in Fall 2010 or later, there are new regulations governing the Regents exemption in Mathematics. These new regulations are related to the phase in of the new Regents sequence in Mathematics. Consult the CUNY Testing website for the details on these new regulations: www.cuny.edu/testing. However, students entering with an exemption in mathematics must still take the CUNY Assessment Test in Mathematics for placement purposes, only, to ensure appropriate placement into mathematics courses. Transfer students who have already earned a bachelor's degree from an accredited college may also be exempt from testing. Determination of this exemption is made by the CUNY Office of Admissions Services. Students with the bachelor's degree exemption will still be tested in mathematics for placement purposes. Students whose degree is from an institution in which the language was other than English may also be tested in reading and writing for placement purposes. Transfer students who have taken a college-level course in English or mathematics and earned a grade of C or better may be exempted from the relevant CUNY assessment test. (Note: English courses in which English was taught as a foreign language are NOT eligible for this exemption.) Students exempted in mathematics will be tested in mathematics for placement purposes, only. In addition, if the language of instruction at the previous college was not English, the student may also be tested in reading and writing for placement purposes. All exemptions from testing MUST be requested at the time the student applies for admission to Hostos Community College, either as an entering freshman or as a transfer student. Requests for exemptions at a later date will not be honored. Students should discuss all requests for testing exemptions with an admissions counselor when they apply to the college. As progress in certain career programs is measured by scores on the skills assessment test, it may be advisable for students who are exempt from testing to take the tests to determine the appropriate course sequences for them.

2015 golf R Dealer is quoting 00232
Do you know real numbers yet?February 19 -
Can you tell me the RES and MF for a 2015 Santa Fe SUV AWD Automatic, 12k miles 36year lease for New York. The MSRP at the dealer is $37,423.January 26
Wanted to let you know that your responses regarding the Audi Q3 were immensely helpful! Had I not known the base money factor and residuals for the car we were looking at we would have gotten a very raw deal.
One question I had was regarding the "base money factor." Can someone with top tier credit be below the base money factor, or is that a floor as far as MF/interest rates go for the company? My only point of confusion in the process was that the salesman showed me a monthly payment where the MF was marked up from 0.0012 to 0.00199 but his explanation was that it was for instructional purposes only so people don't get freaked out by a suddenly higher payment amount when their credit score clears. Basically the model they use 'defaults' to a slightly higher MF. Curious to get your thoughts on this. We ended up in Tier B with a 0.00155 MF...January 23 -
I was just able to negotiate a great lease deal using the information you posted on the Edmunds message board. Thanks!
I have a background in web development and I think there is a need for a website that makes the lease process easier by consolidating all available information into one place. This website would have the MF, residual %, and cash back information for all vehicles in one place. It would also display sample lease prices based on MSRP, Edmunds TMV, or a custom cap cost.
However, I'm not sure where to acquire the finance numbers you have access to. Is this information freely available?January 3 -

Hello, I would like to take a moment of your time for advice if that's ok? I am currently leasing a 2012 Acura MDX. I have 2 years left on my lease. I wanted to know what my options are if I want to end it? I would like to swap it out for a 2015 for the remaining 2 years. Then I would like to finance the rest so I don't have to start over with another full balance to finance. Is this possible? I searched the forums but haven't found anything specifically on the subject. Thank you in advance for your help!November 2014
Thanks for your reply.
I may head to the dealer later today, so am hoping for an answer.

I posted this one the 2014 Nissan Altima Lease page but figured I'd go right to you as I've seen you are quite familiar w this area. But I really could use some help now as I plan on going tomorrow to really lease this car. Could use some emergency help. Not completely sure I understand the calculation process here. Looking to buy a 2014 (yes 2014) 2.5 SV w/ no packages added. I checked and they still have a few by me in NY (LI). Considering I am buying a 2014 so late, there should be significant incentive. Can anyone help me ballpark what a good monthly payment would be for this specific car w everything rolled into 500 down and rest of the payments (12k/39m/MSRP $25,150/tier 1 credit). Would really appreciate the MAX I should even consider going to per month.October 2014
Hello, Do you know what the lease rates are for October. I am looking for the numbers on a 2014 & 2015 Tiguan RLine & SEL. Any incentives (ex. dealer cash, USAA, etc.) Also, if anyone can advise on what they have achieved or seen on sales price. Thanks in advance.October 2014
Hi kyfdx!
Do you have leasing information for 2015 toyota highlander in ohio?
I am looking for the MF and RV on the 2015 Toyota Highlander LE Plus.September 2014 -
Hey kyfdx, been following your posts for a while and now I need some help and guidance!
I am looking to lease a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 RWD with Tech Package this Wednesday, MSRP $46,535.
The national lease deal is still $429 per month on the base Genesis 3.8 RWD with $3,999 down and MSRP of $38,950, 12k and 36 month term. Based on your previous posts the assumptions I see used in addition to this is a MF of .00125 and a residual value of 57%.
I want to figure out what an equivalent lease payment would be on the Tech Package assuming a $46,535 MSRP and a negotiated price of $42,900. I am using the same MF and RV, same terms and getting a monthly lease pre-tax of $425.
I feel like I am off somewhere, am I? Are my assumptions illogical? I want to be ready to negotiate well this Wednesday! Thanks for all your help.September 2014 -
Any update on my request for the residual value and money factor numbers for the 2015 Mercedes C Class. I live in NY. 10K per year for 36 months. Also are there any incentives to buying this car vs. leasing?
September 2014 -
Hi, a local ford local dealer just quoted me $536/mo pretax for a 2015 Explorer Sport with 400a package 36mo/12k. MSRP: $46,525; selling price: $42,750; quoted 1% APR rather than money factor. My math results in a pretax monthly of $480/mo. Is my APR conversion incorrect 1% APR/2400x100 = .00041. Residual 57%? thank you.
September 2014 -
Hi, I'm just wondering if its predicted the MF will change much for the month of September (from August) on the Mitsubishi Outlander, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and Kia Sorento? I already have numbers from you from last month but curious if they tend to change drastically ? Thanks!
September 2014 -
Thanks for your reply regarding the rogue. Do the values MF and residual change if it's only 12k miles per yr versus 15k?August 2014
Sorry, also if we got a 10k lease too which we have now.
August 2014 -
Hi kyfdx Do you know the MF and the res. for a 2014 and a 2015 grand cherokee limited with sunroof and navigation for the New York City area? Looking to possibly end my lease early (3 months to go) and the dealership is offering me $439 per month taxes included 7500 a year + bank fee and DMV and I wouldn't have to worry about any excess wear and tear...we only put 22k on the car and the lease is almost up. Is that a good deal?
August 2014 -

Black Tie: Five in the house for 2013
Date: January 2, 2013
by: Emily Walsh | (Former!) Black Tie Editor
Dressing up for this former social editor has had to do a lot more with Power Rangers, Batman, cowboys and Army guys as of late, thanks to a cute little 2-year-old that I know.
However, there are five events in 2013 that this party-girl-at-heart will most definitely dig into the old dress closet for … or maybe even spring for a new fancy number. You never know … I may even bring my camera.
SMOA Inaugural Bash
The Sarasota Museum of Art
6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20, at Sarasota High School
Tickets $125. Call 309-0118
If getting a chance to see artist Patrick Dougherty's "stickwork" sculpture isn't enough, getting to explore the historic Sarasota High School building and imagining its transformation into an art museum — with cocktail in hand — definitely does it. But that's not all … this "lawn-party casual" affair chaired by Dottie Baer Garner and Brooke Callanen also offers food and drink from the Sarasota Originals and dancing on the Sarasota High lawn to Ace Factor.
The Inaugural Ball Honoring Dr. Donal O'Shea
New College Foundation 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16, at New College Bayfront Tickets $350. Call 487-4800
Hmm … Looks like we're doing a lot of inaugural partying on lawns this year, but why not? This time, don your best Black Tie attire for the Don — Donal O'Shea, that is, New College's new president. This is only the second time in its history that New College has hosted an official inauguration so don't miss this affair chaired by BJ Creighton, Renee Hamad, Kathy Coffey and Pat Johnson.
An Evening at the Avant-Garde: 'A Novel Idea'
Ringling College of Art and Design 6 p.m. Saturday, March 23, at Ringling College Call 359-7589
A party girl can be nerdy too, so anything that has to do with books always piques my interest. Plus, doesn't everybody love dressing up? So getting to dress up like your favorite literary characters sounds like a perfect combination. Add to that some cocktails, good food, music and dancing, and you'll be sure to have volumes of fun at this event chaired by Larry and Ann Garberding.
Orchid Ball 'Midnight at the Oasis'
Marie Selby Botanical Gardens 6 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at Selby Gardens Tickets $300. Call 366-5731, Ext. 229
Think "Sex in the City 2," when Carrie and crew are wearing ball gowns and heels in the souk in Abu Dhabi … that's what this year's Orchid Ball is aiming to be — a sultry and sophisticated desert experience. Chairs Wayne and Mindy Rollins promise to rock the casbah with their creative and downright cool charisma at this year's event. Expect Middle Eastern influences from the food and drink to the décor and from the music and entertainment to the attire.
Florida Wine & Balloon Festival
Florida Winefest & Auction April 4 to 7, at various locations Call 952-1109
Picture this: Taking off in a hot air balloon at 6 a.m. on a cool April day, floating over East Sarasota and landing only to enjoy an elegant champagne brunch. Um, yes, please! The festival also includes winemaker dinners around town; wine tasting on the bay at the Van Wezel; a Balloon Glow Dinner (where the balloons are lit up and floating overhead); Grand Brunch & Charity Auction; Cigar Dinner; and "Sip & Soar" all Premier Sports Complex, in Lakewood Ranch.
Backup Dates
You know, sometimes you just need a backup date. If our five party picks don't work with your social calendar, here are a couple of other options:
Cooking for Wishes
Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Suncoast
11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 22, at Michael's On East
Call 952-9474.
An interactive lunch with lots of wine. Need we say more?
Sarasota Exotic Car Fest
United Cerebral Palsy
Feb. 22 to Feb. 24, at various Locations
Call 201-1480.
This year's events celebrate 50 years of James Bond.
Cattle Barons Ball 'Let's Give Cancer the Boot'
American Cancer Society
6 p.m. April 13, at Gettel Automotive
Call 328-3760.

Nerdist Podcast: Billy Hardwick
By Katie Levine on June 15, 2012
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! It's a special episode with Chris's dad (and Hall of Fame professional bowler), Billy Hardwick! It's a longer episode, but a great and personal one full of stories about the pro bowlers' tour, Hardwick family origins, overcoming anxiety, pursuing passions and more!
I've been reloading the page over and over, waiting for this to get posted. What a beautiful, beautiful episode! I'm dead serious, if anyone gets shitty in this comment thread, I'm going Jay and Silent Bob on them. Hide in your basements all you want, I'm gonna find you.
And now somebody please give me a hug.
This episode is amazing. Very insightful. Thank you!
Chris,does your father know jack winters,a pro bowler from the sixties in phila.my father was good friends with him
Thank you for sharing this with us. As someone who also has problems expressing myself and talking about "serious stuff", it truly means a lot that you are willing to open up a part of your life to the rest of us. You are a good man Chris Hardwick.
Lost my dad when I was 14. Makes me wish he was here so I could ask him a bunch of questions. You are very fortunate Chris.
"Now can I have a beer?". What a great way to end an amazing episode! Makes me want to fly the 3 hours to go see my dad and just talk with him. If you ever were to have a bowling night at All Star Lanes I'll drive over from Nashville just to hang out with you and your dad.
OMG!!!! I've been so eager to hear this episode since I found out about it! Now to press PLAY!
Oh, and Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
I agree — such a beautiful thing to share.
It reminded me of what Charlie Rose said earlier this year about his biggest regret. He regretted not having used his interviewing skills to record conversations with his own parents, conversations such as the one shared here.
(Rose's quote is here http://www.weallhavestories.com/story-lines-2/ and the video here http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/12147.)
Thank you for this, just, thank you.
Nice work Chris. Your dad is really charming and you are lucky to have him. This has been a nice gift for the Nerdist listeners.
It's a long one, so I expected to listen to it over a few sessions. Played it start to finish. Was a really fantastic episode – Billy Hardwick sure has a great story to tell! It's one of the best episodes you have done.
It certainly makes me want to talk to my dad and find out who he is, so mission accomplished!
Hi Chris! THIS is the best podcast you done! Thanks for sharing!
(yeah…i shed a tear )Mike
Oh…And Happy Fathers Day EVERYONE!!!

Lung gallium scan is a type of nuclear scan that uses radioactive gallium to identify swelling (inflammation) in the lungs.
Gallium 67 lung scan; Lung scan; Gallium scan - lung; Scan - lung
Gallium is injected into a vein. The scan will be taken 6 to 24 hours after the gallium is injected. (Test time depends on whether your condition is acute or chronic .)
During the test, you lie on a table that moves underneath a scanner called a gamma camera. The camera detects the radiation produced by the gallium. Images display on a computer screen.
During the scan, it is important that you keep still to get a clear image. The technician can help make you comfortable before the scan begins. The test takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
Several hours to 1 day before the scan, you will get an injection of gallium at the place where the testing will be done.
Just before the scan, remove jewelry, dentures, or other metal objects that can affect the scan. Take off the clothing on the upper half of your body and put on a hospital gown.
The injection of gallium will sting, and the puncture site may hurt for several hours or days when touched.
The scan is painless, but you must stay still. This may cause discomfort for some patients.
This test is usually done when you have signs of inflammation in the lungs, most often due to sarcoidosis or a certain type of pneumonia.
The lungs should appear of normal size and texture, and should take up very little gallium.
There is some risk to children or unborn babies. Because a pregnant or nursing woman may pass on radiation, special precautions will be made.
For women who are not pregnant or nursing and for men, there is very little risk from the radiation in gallium, because the amount is very small. There are increased risks if you are exposed to radiation (such as x-rays, and scans) many times. Discuss any concerns you have about radiation with the health care provider who recommends the test.
Usually the health care provider will recommend this scan based on the results of a chest x-ray . Small defects may not be visible on the scan. For this reason, this test is not often done anymore.

Buying guides
Timber and board buying guide
Broadly speaking, timber comes in three different types: construction timber, finishing timber and decorative timber. It's generally more expensive than man-made boards, which come in lots of varieties with a whole range of uses.
Always try to choose timber that's been certified by an independent organisation like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as this means the wood has been sourced sustainably. If there is any wood or paper in a B&Q product,we make sure it meets legal, social and environmental standards. Find out more about our Forest Friendly Promise.

Salute to hard work
By Samantha Carr
Larry Cooper has been a volunteer baseball coach at Martinsburg, West Virginia, High School for 20 years. During that time, he has developed the motto: "Kids don't care what you know until they know that you care."
It is this kind of effort in his volunteer work and professional life that earned Cooper a very special honor upon his retirement from government work after 32 years.
"When I received my retirement, my coworker told me that there would be a flag flown at the Baseball Hall of Fame for me – and it really blew my mind," he said.
On Dec. 11, 2009, Cooper's flag was flown at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown in honor of his hard work, the compassionate way he went about his life and the effort he put into each person who entered it. On Friday, his wife Anita accompanied him to the Hall of Fame to receive a certificate for the honor.
"I think knowing that I've spent my years playing sports and working with kids that this is the perfect place to fly it," he said. "Plus – my name is Cooper."
Cooper is the son of a minister and has worked with kids his whole life. His coworkers felt that the Hall of Fame's values of integrity and character matched well with Cooper's work.
"I believe if you plant a seed and work with the seed, you'll get the tree you want," Cooper said. "Years from now I want to be the person the kids cross the street to see, not the one they cross the street to avoid.
Cooper has a collection of over 200 minor league ball caps in a museum-like room at his home, acquired over the years during his work with kids. His Martinsburg team, who won the state championship last year, is playing on Doubleday Field in Cooperstown Friday and Saturday and Cooper will be in uniform, coaching them along.
When the team arrives home in West Virginia, Cooper will have something new to add to his baseball room.
Samantha Carr is the manager of web and digital media at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

VMmark 2.x
What is VMmark v2?
VMmark® 2.x is the first benchmark that was designed specifically to quantify and measure the performance of virtualized data centers. It features a tile-based scheme for measuring the scalability of consolidated workloads and provides a consistent methodology that captures both the overall scalability and individual application performance.
The VMmark 2.x benchmark is built on our expertise in virtualization performance and incorporates popular workloads from application categories most commonly represented in customer data centers. Unlike other virtualization benchmarks that benchmark only a single-host, VMmark 2.x is the first benchmark to measure the performance of multi-host virtual environments.
Why is there a need for a new benchmark?
Today's virtual data centers contain several diverse workloads running on top of a virtualization platform - a collection of physical servers accessing shared storage and network resources. In these virtualization platforms, advanced virtualization capabilities such as dynamic load balancing ensure that all system resources such as CPU, network and disk are more efficiently utilized. Previous single-host virtualization benchmarks have not fully captured the complexities of today's virtualized data centers. VMmark 2.x, the industry's first multi-server data center virtualization benchmark, addresses this gap by including as part of the benchmark a variety of common platform-level workloads such as live migration of virtual machines, cloning and deploying of virtual machines and automatic virtual machine load balancing across the data center.
What are some specific requirements for developing such a benchmark?
Besides the need to capture key performance characteristics of virtual systems, an appropriate virtual platform benchmark must employ realistic, diverse workloads running on multiple operating systems, on multiple hosts. Further, there is a need to define a single, easy to understand metric while ensuring that the benchmark is representative of various end-user environments. The benchmark specification needs to be platform neutral and should also provide a methodical way to measure scalability so that the same benchmark can be used for small platforms as well as larger platforms from different hardware vendors.
Why did VMware develop VMmark v2?
VMware realized the need for a next-generation virtualization benchmark to compare different virtualization platforms, which consist of multiple hosts, diverse multi-tier workloads and infrastructure operations.
VMmark 2.x provides a standardized way to compare these virtualization platforms.
What is a tile?
A tile is a collection of diverse workloads consisting of eight virtual machines all concurrently executing. Each workload represents common application workloads found in today's data centers. Included in a single tile are a mail server, web 2.0 database and web system, e-commerce back-end database and front-end web layer, as well as an idle machine.
Each virtual machine in a tile is tuned to use only a fraction of the system's total resources. As a tile, the aggregate of all workloads normally utilizes less than the full capacity of modern servers. Therefore, the complete saturation of a system's resources and accurate measurement of server performance with VMmark 2.x require the execution of multiple tiles simultaneously.
How does VMmark v2 work?
VMmark 2.x is designed as a tile-based benchmark consisting of a diverse set of workloads commonly found in the data center. The workloads comprising each tile are run simultaneously in separate virtual machines at load levels that are typical of virtualized environments. The performance of each workload is measured and then combined with the other workloads to form the score for the individual tile. Multiple tiles can be run simultaneously to increase the overall score.
This approach allows smaller increases in system performance to be reflected by increased scores in a single tile and larger gains in system capacity to be captured to adding additional tiles.
Each workload within a VMmark 2.x tile is constrained to execute at less than full utilization of its virtual machine. The performance of each workload can vary to a degree with the speed and capabilities of the underlying system. For instance, disk-centric workloads might respond to the addition of a fast disk array with a more favorable score. These variations can capture system improvements that do not warrant the addition of another tile. The workload throttling will force the use of additional tiles for large jumps in system performance. When the number of` tiles is increased, workloads in existing tiles might measure lower performance. If the system has not been overcommitted, the aggregate score, including the new tile, should increase. The result is a flexible benchmark metric that provides a relative measure of the number of workloads that can be supported by a particular system as well as the overall performance level within the virtual machines.
Who will use VMmark v2?
VMmark 2.x was developed as a useful tool for hardware vendors, system integrators, and customers to evaluate the performance of their systems. Many customers will not run the benchmark themselves, but rather rely on published VMmark 2.x scores from their hardware vendors to make purchasing and configuration decisions for their virtualization infrastructure.
What are the use cases for VMmark v2?
The main use-case for VMmark 2.x is to compare the performance of different hardware platforms and configurations. Organizations implementing or evaluating virtualization platforms today will use VMmark 2.x for comparing performance and scalability of different virtualization platforms, making appropriate hardware choices and for measure platform performance on an ongoing basis.
It is also important to note that VMmark 2.x is neither a capacity planning tool nor a sizing tool. It does not provide deployment guidelines for specific applications. Rather VMmark 2.x is meant to be representative of a general-purpose virtualization environment. The virtual machine configurations and the software stacks inside the virtual machines are fixed as part of the benchmark specification. Recommendations derived from VMmark 2.x results will capture many common cases; however, specialized scenarios will likely require individual measurement.
What are the benefits of VMmark v2?
With VMmark 2.x, organizations now have a robust and reliable benchmark that captures the key performance characteristics of virtual platforms; is representative of real world environments running multiple workloads; is hardware platform neutral and provides a methodical way to measure scalability so that the same benchmark can be used across different vendor platforms.
How can one obtain / get started with VMmark v2?
To get started with VMmark 2.x, one should follow the steps below:
- Download the latest VMmark 2.x Kit
The VMmark 2.x kit contains the VMmark 2.x User's Guide, the configuration files, and much of the software needed to run VMmark 2.x. - Download the pre-built Virtual Machines
The same download page contains links to pre-built virtual machines for the three Linux virtual machines used in the benchmark. - Extract the VMmark 2.x kit
Extract the contents of the VMmark 2.x kit to C:/ on your initial Windows Server 2003 client system. - Refer to the VMmark 2.x Benchmark Guide
Follow the instructions in the VMmark 2.x Benchmark Guide (in the 'docs' directory of the VMmark 2.x kit) for directions on how to set up and run the benchmark. - Read the run and reporting rules carefully
The VMmark 2.x Run and Reporting Rules document (in the 'docs' directory of the VMmark kit) outlines the requirements for producing a publishable VMmark 2.x result. Any VMmark result that the benchmarker plans to publish must adhere to the Run and Reporting rules included in the benchmark kit.
How do I interpret a VMmark v2 score?
VMmark 2.x aggregates the throughput metrics of all application and infrastructure workloads to create a single overall benchmark score that can be used to quickly compare different platform configurations. Every workload must also pass its minimum quality-of-service requirements for the benchmark result to be considered compliant.
After a valid run, the metrics of the application workloads within each tile are computed and aggregated into a score for that tile. This aggregation is performed by first normalizing the different performance metrics (such as Actions/minute and operations/minute) with respect to a reference platform. Then a geometric mean of the normalized scores is computed as the final score for the tile. The resulting per-tile scores are then summed to create the application-workload portion of the final metric.
The metrics for the infrastructure workloads are aggregated separately using the same mathematical technique of normalization with respect to a reference platform followed by the computation of the geometric mean. Unlike the application workloads, the infrastructure workloads are not scaled explicitly by the user. Consequently, the infrastructure workloads are complied as a single group and no multi-tile sums are required.
The final benchmark score is then computed as a weighted average of the application-workload component and the infrastructure-workload component. VMmark 2.x gives a weight of 80 percent to application-workload component and a weight of 20 percent to the infrastructure-workload component. These weights were chosen to reflect the relative contribution of infrastructure and application workloads to overall resource demands.
A VMmark 2.x full disclosure report also includes the raw and normalized results for each underlying workload as well as complete details of the virtualization platform configuration. In some cases, studying the workload metrics along with the platform configuration can provide insight into system performance and scaling.
How do I compare VMmark 2.x scores across different virtualization platforms?
A higher VMmark 2.x score implies that a virtualization platform is capable of sustaining greater throughput in a mixed workload consolidation environment, while experiencing data center operations in the background. A larger number of VMmark 2.x tiles used to generate the benchmark means that the platform supported more virtual machines, across the multiple hosts, during the benchmark run. Typically, a higher benchmark score requires a higher number of tiles.
If two different virtualization platforms achieve similar VMmark 2.x scores with a different number of tiles, the score with the lower tile count is generally preferred. The higher tile count could be a sign that the underlying hardware resources were not properly balanced. Studying the individual workload metrics is suggested in these cases.
How is VMmark version 2.0 different from VMmark version 1.x?
VMmark 1.x was designed as a single-system consolidation benchmark consisting of six isolated single-tier workloads. VMmark 2.x was designed as a multi-host benchmark reflecting typical, modern-day usage of virtualized infrastructure. VMmark 2.x consists of two single-tier application workloads, two multi-tier application workloads, and four infrastructure-level workloads.
Are VMmark 1.x results comparable to VMmark 2.x results?
No, the workloads and load levels of VMmark 2.x have changed significantly from VMmark 1.x in order to take better advantage of today's larger and more powerful server hardware. Because the VMmark 2.x workloads and load levels have changed since VMmark 1.x, the VMmark 2.x benchmark scores are not comparable to VMmark 1.x benchmark scores.
Are VMmark 2.0 results comparable to VMmark 2.1 results?
Yes. VMmark 2.1 adds support for client systems running certain versions of Windows Server 2008 (in addition to Windows Server 2003, which was supported in VMmark 2.0) as well as support for virtualized clients (subject to certain conditions).
How is VMmark 2.5 different from previous 2.x versions?
In addition to the optional power measurement functionality in VMmark 2.5, the benchmark has been enhanced in a variety of ways, including increased parallelism, additional client support, added support for vSphere 5.1, support for short runs, and enhanced messaging.
Will all VMmark 2.5 benchmarks include power measurements?
Not necessarily. VMmark 2.5 provides three test types: performance-only (no power measurement), server-only power-performance, and server-and-storage power-performance.
Why aren't all VMmark 2.5 results shown on the same web page?
Benchmarkers may choose to optimize a test configuration for a particular aspect of measurement. For instance, if running with a power measurement, the benchmarker may choose to optimize for power over server performance. Representing all server performance results (both with and without power measurements) on the same results page could be misleading. In order to ensure consistent comparability of results, separate results pages are used.
