On 25 November 2013, the UNGA 3rd Committee adopted a resolution presented by France, Argentina and Morocco on the Convention against Enforced Disappearance. The resolution adopted by consensus was supported by 97 co-sponsors.
The resolution expressed deep concern by the increase in enforced or involuntary disappearances in various regions of the world and calls upon all States to ratify the Convention. In addition, it recognizes the work done by the Committee and the Working Group on Enforced Disappearances.
Co-sponsored by France and Argentina, the Second Meeting of States Parties to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance took place in New York on 28 May 2013.
Five members of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances were elected to replace those whose terms expired on 30 June 2013, in accordance with paragraph 4 of article 26 of the Convention.
The first meeting of the States Parties to the Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance took place on 31 May 2011 in New York under Argentina's presidency.
On this occasion, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs made the following statement:
"The 26 States Parties to the Convention elected the 10 members of the new UN Committee tasked with ensuring compliance with the Convention and handling individual complaints: in addition to France and Argentina, Albania, Germany, Spain, Iraq, Japan, Senegal, Uruguay and Zambia were elected.
This meeting took place in the presence of Estella Carlotto, the symbolic chairperson of the "Association of Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo" who, 35 years after the disappearance and murder of her daughter Laura, is still looking for the child that her daughter gave birth to while in detention.
During the debate, organized on the initiative of France, Argentina and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, many participants from the States and representatives of civil society spoke about the history of the Convention, which came about as a result of the massive kidnapping campaigns conducted by the Argentinean and Chilean dictators. France's leading role in this process was reaffirmed: our country ensured the adoption of the first UN resolution on enforced disappearances in 1978 and chaired the negotiations which led to the Convention.
The participants unanimously commended the courage and persistence of the families of the victims who have broken the silence about these crimes which - without any bodies, without any records and without the identities of those responsible - seemed to amount to the perfect crime for the perpetrators. The relevance of enforced disappearances was reaffirmed on this occasion in light of the recent indictment by the International Criminal Court of Muammar Qaddafi for enforced disappearances.
Lastly, the participants called for the universal ratification of this convention which makes an essential contribution to the protection of human rights. "
Enforced disappearances are abductions for political motives, not followed by demands, and the perpetrators of which are acting on behalf of or with the approval of the State. These unsolved and unpunished disappearances are serious Human Rights violations and must be fought.
For many years, France has strived to get an international legal instrument adopted.
France presided over the negotiations concerning the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution 47/133 of 18 December 1992.
After the Declaration of 1992, the UN General Assembly began working on a convention. In 1998, a French expert, Louis Joinet, wrote the first draft binding instrument on the topic.
France headed up the working group created by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, tasked with writing a draft binding instrument for the protection of all persons from enforced disappearance. This working group completed its work on 23 September 2005, by adopting a draft for an international convention, on the initiative of France and Argentina.
The International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, 2006
The draft was adopted by the Human Rights Council during its first session on 29 June 2006 and then by the United Nations general Assembly on 20 December 2006 with 103 cosponsorships. The International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance was open for signature on 6 February 2007. It is the culmination of more than 25 years of work carried out by the families of disappeared persons with the support from different quarters of the international community, notably Argentina and France. It is a decisive step in terms of promoting and protecting Human Rights and fighting against impunity.
Straddling the lines between Human Rights, international humanitarian law and international criminal law, the Convention is based in particular on the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and is inspired by the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance of 1992.
The Convention establishes a legal definition of forced disappearance, which is binding on States parties. It makes it a criminal offence for a State - or individual acting at its instigation - to cause a person to disappear without the fate reserved for this person ever being known. It describes the widespread or systematic practice of enforced disappearance as a "crime against humanity". It bans secret detention centers and strengthens procedural guarantees for putting people into custody. It opens for families and relatives the right to know the truth about the fate of victims of enforced disappearances.
France, having worked resolutely for this cause, had the special privilege, in a break with custom for a UN convention, of hosting the ceremony opening the convention to signature in February 2007. In September 2008, Secretary of State Rama Yade deposited France's instruments of ratification of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. France became the fifth state in the world and the first EU member to ratify the convention.
On 1st May 2013, 91 States had signed the Convention (see the list of signatories on the UN website).
Twenty ratifications were needed for the text to enter into force. On 24 November 2010, Iraq was the twentieth country to ratify the Convention, which allowed it to enter into force on 23 December 2010.
Enforced disappearances are an ever-present reality as evidenced by the work of the United Nations group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, a group established in February 1980. This group has handled over 50,000 cases in 80 countries over three decades of existence. In the first half of 2010, more than 200 new cases were submitted to this working group.
France continues to work towards the universalisation of the Convention for the Protection of All Persons against Enforced Disappearances. It welcomes its entry into force on 23 December 2010 and calls on all signatory countries to ratify the Convention.
By resolution A/RES/65/209 adopted on 19 November 2010 by the UNGA, 30 August has been established as the International Day of the Disappeared since 1984.

Should small amounts of marijuana be legalized?
"It may not be healthy, but there are worse crimes than carrying small amounts of marijuana." Jessica Castillo, 29, nurse, Victoria
"I'm not for it because I don't think people will be responsible with it," LaTonya Jackson, 20, student, San Marcos
"It shouldn't remain the crime it is today. Keeping it out of children's hands is the main thing, but when you're a little older and want to smoke a little weed, why should it be a crime?" Michael Cortright, 53, Oil patch, Victoria
"I think they should decriminalize possession for any amount of marijuana," Trey Cole, 18, Hastings, Victoria
Two of the nations leading policy makers, President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney, have publicly stated they do not support the legalization of marijuana.
It seems antithetical, then, that at least 10 states, both red and blue, have introduced legal variations of decriminalizing the drug - reducing marijuana possession to civil rather than criminal offenses.
But even though the general public may be evenly split on whether to legalize pot, a large population of Americans are speaking out to maintain its illegality.
Ron Reyna, a Victoria County Democratic Party delegate who attended the Democratic Party Convention in Houston last week, was opposed to one of the resolutions his party presented for consideration to the platform - marijuana legalization.
"Any amount is an impairment. And you can't test for a percentage impairment. You can't do a breathalyzer for it," Reyna said. "It's not worth what it can do to our children, or anybody else."
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration stated on its website there is "significant progress" in fighting overall drug use and trafficking in the U.S. Overall drug use is down by a third of a percent in the last 20 years
"I think I represent a large amount of the Democratic Party with my view," Reyna said. "I think it's a small vocal group that's bringing this issue to the forefront. The small, few get noticed. I don't believe as a whole the Democratic Party wants to accept it."
One of the arguments for legalizing marijuana, in addition to reducing crime and freeing up law enforcement resources for more serious crimes, is that it has medical benefits for cancer patients.
But the USDEA states the medical benefits of marijuana have already been isolated into in a FDA-approved pill called Marinol.
The USDEA website sates, "Unlike smoked marijuana - which contains more than 400 different chemicals, including most of the hazardous chemicals found in tobacco smoke - Marinol has been studied and approved by the medical community and the Food and Drug Administration. There are no FDA-approved medications that are smoked."
"Smoking is generally a poor way to deliver medicine. It is difficult to administer safe, regulated dosages of medicines in smoked form."
"Secondly, the harmful chemicals and carcinogens that are byproducts of smoking create entirely new health problems. A marijuana joint contains four times the level of tar in a marijuana than in a tobacco cigarette."
Victoria Police Sgt. Lee Lemmons said the department maintains an aggressive stance against marijuana possession of any amount.
"As long as the state legislature and United States Congress says it's illegal, we're going to do everything we can to enforce that," Lemmons said.
Lemmons said Victoria police regularly encounter people in possession of marijuana and make regular vehicle stops where drugs may be in the car.
"It's a common occurrence. It's not 50 percent of traffic stops, but it's common," he said.
But Lemmons disagrees that decriminalizing weed would have any effect on overall drug use, or help to reduce crime.
"I don't think it would lessen crime if they were to limit arrests for small amounts of marijuana," Lemmons said. "I think the people who are going to use it, are going to use it. And I don't think reducing the crime of possession will lure someone into using it just because the penalty is lessened."
Lemmons also said legalizing marijuana of any amount would be "impossible to regulate" from a state and law enforcement perspective.
Reyna said the marijuana laws are on the books for a reason - to protect people from doing wrong, as well as protect them from themselves, whether it is alcohol or any other sort of intoxication.
"I don't agree with driving while buzzed, either. If you're going to drink, you need to stay home," Reyna said. "No amount of alcohol or marijuana is acceptable when it's my kids who could be harmed. And you can take a user and ask if they would give it to their 12-year-old kid, and they'll tell you they wouldn't do it."

Rated 4 out of 5 by AmandaS Convenient but hard to clean
This chair is great, but it's definitely not for everyday use. One round with yogurt and needs to be fully taken apart and cleaned, which is no small task.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CaroGold Better than expected!
We bought this chair to save space in our apartment. I thought that I would probably buy a high chair at some point and didn't even open this until just recently when our baby started eating solid food. We love this chair. It is so much nicer than it looks in the pictures. It is a nice fabric that is so easy to clean and it is much cushier than you'd think. I also like it because with the baby right on the table next to us, we can have family meals all together. Even though we're moving and will have more space, we won't replace this. Our baby will go right from this to a booster. This also folds easily and hooks to most tables which makes it great for travel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kmalbo Love this for twins!
I have twins so space and convenience are important. I love these chairs so much that we didn't even buy any other high chair. Use these at home on the counter for feeding and then put them in the stroller for restaurants or in the car for trips. Easily remove for washing and look brand new after 4 months of steady (ab)use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by asdfasdf perfect high chair for our tiny apartment!
we originally purchased this as we travel quite a bit and planned to take this with us wherever we go. however, it turned out to be the perfect high chair for our infant to use in our small apartment and we've kept it as a semi-permanent fixture on the breakfast bar. it's easy to install or take off, and also wipes clean pretty easily (although we do keep a large bib on baby while he's eating so that minimizes the mess).
the installation is very sturdy as he loves to lean far left and far right but the seat doesn't move at all and the seatbelt keeps him securely in the seat although he loves attempt to look behind him.
there's a large pocket behind the seat where we keep a stash of wipes to clean up feeding messes and the seat itself folds flat and has a self-contained bag attached to the seat should you want to take it somewhere.
highly recommend this chair!

Rated 5 out of 5 Comfortable, convenient and can go anywhere
To my fellow space-conscious and aesthetically sensitive parents: this is the best alternative to a big clunky highchair. We have this chair secured to our open kitchen marble bar counter so that our son can sit next to us and be with us when we gather around the kitchen and bar, which frequently happens. The chair is ultra secure and very easy to manipulate and also to clean. We take it with us anytime we travel or go to a restaurant. It takes up very little space and can be folded flat. Our 7 month old fits snugly in it (although we did add a highchair "bumper" for extra comfort) and it is much more secure than a restaurant highchair. Plus your child is at the table with you and feels like he is part of the action! All of my friends who have seen it want to purchase it. I highly recommend it.

(1 Question : 1 Answer)
See what people are asking, and maybe add some answers of your own.
I am wondering if this Fast Table Chair could work as a substitute high chair at my house. I don't have a lot of room and a high chair would be in the way. My table has an 'apron' about 4 inches from the edge--I am wondering if that will be in the way or cause the chair to not clamp securely to the table.Answers
A "hook-on" high chair is ideal for a second home, or a grandparent's home where a full high chair isn't required, and it's a great space-saving option for families who don't have the room to spare for a traditional high chair.Inglesina's Fast Table Chair opens to 3.5", so it's likely not going to fit over your table's 4" apron. Another option that should work better for you is Chicco's 360 Hook-On Chair. With an opening up to 5.5", this innovative little seat sports 360-degree rotation and hook-on functionality, making it easily portable and incredibly versatile for almost any mealtime situation. And, most importantly, it should fit onto your table!

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Public-sector unions are hailing Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee's (CHAY'-fee) call for talks to settle the closely watched lawsuit over Rhode Island's pension overhaul — but the state treasurer says the dispute should remain in the courts.
Rhode Island Council 94 President Michael Downey said Tuesday there's time to strike a deal to prevent a protracted court battle.
Chafee told WPRI-TV on Monday the state should pursue negotiations to prevent a budgetary calamity if the pension law is struck down.
No negotiations are underway. Treasurer Gina Raimondo is the overhaul's main architect. She says the state has a good case and the law is on its side.
A judge will hear arguments Friday on a state motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
The changes were designed to save billions by suspending pension increases, raising retirement ages and other steps.

A trio of historic structures comes together in the Virginia countryside.

The Hazel River Cabin consists of a 1794 log cabin, its 1856 clapboard addition, and a larger, 1840 log cabin that was moved from another site.

"Before" and "after" floorplans of the Hazel River Cabin.
Joe Svatos' 217-year-old log cabin in Rappahannock County, Va., came perilously close to meeting an undignified end. "I bought the property for the land, which had this shack on it," says the Washington, D.C.–based commercial real estate developer. "I thought we would get rid of it." But once the dilapidated building's century-old wood siding was removed, Svatos realized he had a historically significant structure—one that overlooks the tranquil Hazel River and boasts a stunning view of a famous Shenandoah National Park peak known as Old Rag Mountain. So rather than tearing down the cabin and its 1856 addition, he decided to transform it into his own weekend residence.
Architect David Haresign, of Bonstra | Haresign Architects in Washington, had always made a good impression on Svatos. Haresign typically works on larger urban projects, but he eagerly accepted Svatos' request to design the cabin's renovation. Svatos chose Greg Foster of Timberbuilt Construction as his general contractor because of the Flint Hill, Va.–based builder's impeccable track record with both historic houses and more modern residences. Despite the team's wide range of experience, though, no one involved had ever taken on a job quite like this. "None of us knew how complex and challenging it would be," Svatos says.
The renovation consisted of three physically distinct sections. The 1794 log cabin originally had served as a toll collector's station and residence. In 1856, the balloon-framed, clapboard-sided addition was built, and the house remained that way for another century and a half. Then Svatos came along and hoped to add a third historic component, connecting it to the rest of the home. He asked local preservationist Tim Robinson for help, and Robinson found him an endangered log cabin built in 1840 at Mount Joy Plantation in Howard County, Md. (The Howard County Historical Society believes it was likely used as slave quarters.) Robinson disassembled the cabin and moved it to Svatos' site, numbering the logs so they could be restacked exactly as they'd been before.
In the meantime, Foster and his crew built new foundations for both cabins and for the addition. In true 21st-century style, they used ICFs for the basement walls on the 1840 cabin. They also reinsulated the addition using spray-in foam, and raised its roof by 3 feet to get extra height on the second floor. The team had already determined that this wouldn't be a straight restoration project, but that it would combine elements of old and new, preserving much about the original buildings while updating them to contain the ebb and flow of modern living. "Philosophically, I like adapting and giving old things a new lease on life," Haresign says.

Architect David Haresign came up with a system of precise, modern detailing that complements the Hazel River Cabin's organic texture. "The logs were so impressive," he says. "I felt we needed a series of details that would let the rough-hewn parts be primary." He had contractor Greg Foster's team scribe each window frame to follow the contours of the adjoining log. This way the logs stand out, and the frames recede into the background. Mechanical elements are almost entirely concealed from view, so as not to create visual static. A glass connector links the 1840 cabin to the 1856 addition. And the clean lines of steel stair railings, toe kicks, and other steel details subtly set off the home's rustic nature. Explains Haresign: "It's a very consistent treatment. If you develop a simple philosophy, it's easier to execute."
Next came the painstaking step of restacking the chestnut logs on the 21-foot-by-31-foot Howard County cabin. Foster added four more salvaged logs to the top of each of its walls, making the second level a bit taller. Like the chestnut logs, the 16-foot-by-16-foot tollhouse cabin's mix of woods such as poplar, oak, and pine also had escaped major damage; just a couple of its logs needed replacing.
Foster's crew meticulously installed layers of rigid foam insulation between the logs on each cabin, filling any remaining gaps with spray-in foam. The thick coat of exterior stucco covering the insulation is angled ever so slightly to catch rainwater and direct it away from the logs. The logs themselves contain naturally occurring cracks that can let in cold air, so Foster sealed and discreetly caulked these as well. Decisions about which cracks to fill happened on a log-by-log basis. "It's not a science. It's more of a value judgment," Foster says.
Stabilization of the log cabin portions became an issue when Svatos decided he wanted to remove some of the cabins' upper floors. This tactic would provide taller overall volumes and a more open plan, and also would enhance views of the river and mountains. But those second floors supplied a horizontal force that held the walls in place. Without them, Foster worried, the home could lack adequate structural support. So Haresign worked with a structural engineer to devise a system of embedded steel rods and plates that would work with the 2x4 blocking to keep the walls in a secure position. The rods are tied into the foundation, and the ceiling rafters also are bolted into the logs.
This careful process of stabilization shows the delicate balance between maintaining the original house's integrity and providing comfort and quality of life. In fact, the entire renovation strikes a similar note, mixing old and new techniques and materials to achieve a building that honors both history and modernity.
Foster, Haresign, and Svatos, who currently are working on a poolhouse and an entry gate for the property, see the Hazel River Cabin as part of a proud continuum of reuse and adaptation. Together they've united and updated these once-rundown structures, lending them the strength and flexibility to endure into the next century.

Manchester: Nature
Destination guide
In a city with a strong industrial character, there is a surprisingly number of green spaces for quiet walks or family afternoons.
In the city centre or in the surroundings there is a diversity of places to appreciate the quietness given by Nature. From the smallest gardens to natural reserves or vast extensions of forests around, there are many green spaces to discover. The children will enjoy visiting small farms, while sports fans will have plenty of places where to cycle, run or to go for long walks. And those who just want to appreciate Nature and a breath of fresh air will easily find a place to rest and admire the landscape. The Tatton Park (www.tattonpark.org.uk) is visited annually by more than 750 thousand people, attracted by the enormous gardened area with spaces so diverse such as an Italian garden, a rosary or a Japanese garden. It also has a farm with pigs, ducks and chicken where children can discover how the animals live and ride a pedal tractor. It is also the site for many cultural events. A few kilometres from Manchester is the Heaton Park (www.heatonpark.org.uk), yet another vast green area that offers experiences such as sailing a boat around the lake, riding horses and an animal farm. It also includes golf courses and outdoor cultural events.Even quieter is the Fletcher Moss Park next to the Mersey River, the ideal place for all of those who enjoy Nature since it has a Botanic Garden and some animals in their natural habitat. The Prestwich Forest Park is perfect for cycling, running or walking. There are 200 hectares of forest with amazing tranquillity very close to the city, where it is also possible to find animals.

Showmareship "Booo! Get off the stage!" The brown, spiky haired stallion yelled. His words were echoed by those around him. They could be heard amidst the murmur of the crowd, which had taken a turn for the worse. Twilight struggled to remain calm in the presence of such open hostility, not to mention the odd ballistic vegetable, and carried on.
"So, you'll all, uh, notice there's nothing up my, um, s-sleeve..." Twilight was sweating buckets and her voice resembled Fluttershy with a heavy cold.
"You're not wearing anything with sleeves!" A wag at the back shouted. The crowd laughed again and somepony else launched a tomato at the little purple pony.

Muslim integration is one of the most contentious issues in the immigration debate in Europe, and one that gets to the heart of public anxieties about immigration. This article explores public perception toward Muslims in Western Europe and the array of integration policies that countries in the region have adopted during the past several years.
Arrivals of unaccompanied minors to the United States surged during 2012, straining the child custody system. While the flows of unaccompanied child migrants to Europe remained stable, the European Union continues to grapple with policies regarding the treatment of this uniquely vulnerable population.
The U.S. and Australian governments have long grappled with unwanted entries by unauthorized migrants and would-be asylum seekers. Both nations undertook efforts in 2012 to reform immigration detention policies and procedures that have generated significant scrutiny and criticism.

Sweden's strong economic record continues to be marred by its struggles to integrate immigrants, especially those who come through humanitarian or family channels. This report describes how Sweden is trying to overcome these labor market integration challenges and analyzes how successful its workforce development and integration policies have been in helping immigrants progress from low-skilled work to middle-skilled jobs.
In France, where integration initiatives are limited to an immigrant's first five years in the country, "mainstreaming" is an intrinsic characteristic of integration policy. This report traces the history and recent developments of immigrant integration in France, and explores how policies aimed at the general population are benefiting immigrant youth.
In contrast to other European countries, the idea of "mainstreaming" immigrant integration policy has not caught on among policymakers in Germany. This report explores the history and recent trends of integration policy in Germany as well as obstacles facing policymakers moving forward.
MPI researchers and representatives from London and Detroit discuss the policies and strategies used—at national and local levels—to attract immigrants into local economies.
This report analyzes the importance of human capital to the development of London's Tech City and sets this discussion in a broader framework linking cities, digital sectors, and highly skilled immigration. Skilled migrants can play critical roles in economic development in high-tech clusters, but policies sometimes make it difficult for firms to make the most of immigration.
This report explores the accelerating trend in the United Kingdom of mainstreaming of immigrant integration, in which policymakers seek to reach people with a migration background through needs-based social programming and policies that also target the general population. The report has particular focus on policies and programs used in London and Glasgow.
While cities and regions experience both the positive and negative effects of immigration firsthand, they are typically at arm's length, at best, from the policy reins that enable and shape these movements. Immigration policies are rarely calibrated to regional, let alone local, needs. This Transatlantic Council on Migration Statement examines how policymakers at all levels can work together to get more out of immigration.
In the coming weeks, the President-Elect of the European Commission and leaders of the European Union will discuss the new institutional map of the European Union, including new portfolios for the incoming college of Commissioners. Despite the fact that immigration is a critical challenge for the European Union, it has become harder for EU institutions to forge a strong policy. Perhaps as a result of this disconnect, one of the key ideas on the table is to create a Commissioner for Migration.

Know Your Lore: Resurgence of the Infinite Dragonflight
Long ago, the Titans empowered five dragons with unique abilities and powers, entrusting to them the protection of Azeroth itself. While each had their own specialization with its own odd foibles, none were as strange as the task set to Nozdormu. Aman'Thul, Highfather of the Pantheon, entrusted Nozdormu with the task of watching over time -- to guard the myriad paths of time and keep them pure. A strange task, to be certain, and one with a heck of a lot of power involved. To keep Nozdormu from abusing that power or thinking that he answered to no one, he was given the knowledge of the exact moment of his demise.
Yet somewhere in one of those myriad timelines, this apparently wasn't enough. Somewhere, somewhen, Deathwing prevailed and brought about the Hour of Twilight, leaving Nozdormu a haunted, twisted version of his former self -- a version that cared little for the restrictions or rules bestowed by the Titans, and cared much more for preserving his own skin and preventing his own death. The twisted version called himself Murozond, first of the Infinite Dragonflight, intent on bending time and changing events solely for the purpose of evading his inevitable demise. We defeated Murozond in End Time, and prevented the Hour of Twilight from taking place. But have we actually saved Nozdormu? Have we secured time itself?

Inside Information Rebel 2014 - What's really new?
The Struts have been refined with a semi-segmented construction. The segments allow the struts to mimic the shape of the profile, which helps to avoid stress points. The design is very lightweight but also precise, which increases the structural rigidity.
Compared to 2013, the layer of wave-shaped cloth situated at the boundary between the durable 50-gram D2 Ripstop Canopy and the super tough 160-gram trailing edge dacron is put higher and wider to eliminate stress points between the two materials. This change in construction leads to a better mitigation of flutter and flexing between the dissimilar materials.
In 2014, the Rebel has a slightly deeper and more draft forward profile, which gives the kite a more positive upstroke and smoother transit through the centre of the wind window.
The Rebel has been a competitive kite in racing with super lowend and excellent upwind ability. Besides, within the North Kiteboarding line up the Rebel has the best windrange together with the Dyno. Today you could virtually say the Rebel is developing into two different directions.
RIDER PERSPECTIVE Sky Solbach
The Rebel 2014 in smaller sizes, talking about size 10 to 5, is my favourite kite when I go wave riding. Mentioning below just some of its performance properties which are essential for waveriding:
— Enormous depower ability
— Smooth turning
— A lot of power, which is especially interesting
for heavier kiters
— Stable and solid feel
— Good drift (the kite does not fly as quickly to
the edge of the wind window which permits to more readily drift downwind) Summarizing, due to the diverse characteristics the new rebel can be described as a High performance Freeride/Wave kite.
DEVELOPER PERSPECTIVE Ken Winner
The bigger size Rebels 14 / 13 / 12 and 11 are characterized
by the following performance properties:
— Super lowend
— Massive hangtime and jumping abilities
— Good upwind performance
— Sheet and go
Based on these properties in the bigger sizes, the Rebel is an absolutely freeride-oriented kite.
Olly and Steph Bridge crowned European Champions!
A double victory for North Kiteboarding - Oliver and Steph Bridge crowned European Champions. Well done!!
The Kite Race European Championships in Italy brought the best racers to the town of Gizzeria at the Hang Loose Beach. Following the first 2 days of the qualifying series the 78 mens fleet was split into gold & silver. Going into the gold fleet, Oliver Bridge from GB was leading and he ensured that things stayed that way.
After 7 gold fleet races, Oliver won 5 of them which gave him a 16 point advantage over his opponent Ricarrdo Leccese (ITA) in 2nd place. In 3rd place going into the medal race day & fully dialed into these conditions was NKB rider Maxime Nocher from France.
The medal race day took the form of 4 shorter races with riders on 17mtr Dyno kites and their biggest fins. The beach was linned with spectators & those that were not at the event were following the racing live on the Trac trac. The wind was shifting and many position place changes took place making things exciting. At age 15, Oliver showed great maturity to hold things together and to remain in control of the regatta securing his triple title win: Under 18's, Under 21's, and Mens European Champion.
Sailing a consistent and tactical week, Maxime Nocher (FRA) was on the podium with 3rd position while team mates filled the other top 10 placings: 6th Blazej Ozog (POL), 7th Florian Gruber (GER), 9th Olivier Dansin (FRA). 5 NKB positions filled the Top 10 mens Platinum races.
The womans fleet was won by Steph Bridge, making this a rather unique Mother & Son duo European championship win. Steph also wins the womans masters while Ariane Imbert takes 9th overall & 2nd in the womans masters.
The youth division was won by Oliver Bridge, however another outstanding performance was by Yannis Hundt (GER) who was 2nd youth and 2nd in the gold fleet overall. The other gold fleet NKB results were Charles Delaue (FRA) 7th, James Johnson (DEN) 11th and Theo (FRA) 16th.
All the racers now prepare for the World Championships in China in November where the final showdown for the year will take place.
North dominates the PKRA Youth World Championships in Costa Brava!
Bay of roses on the Costa Brava was the venue for the PKRA youth world championships from 2-6th July. Ideally situated with daily thermal onshore winds & the event run from a huge campsite which was also the sponsor - camping la Ballena Alegra. Age categories were 8-14 and 14- 16 in boys and girls which meant there were 4 world titles up for grabs.
17 countries were represented with 43 riders registered for this 1st PKRA youth freestyle championships. Winds allowed the 8-14 category to be on their 7- 10mtr kites during their heats for the first couple of days. North Kiteboarding rider from the Phillipeans - Christian Tio showed huge style with committement and finished this event in 5th place. Uk north riders - Guy and Tom Bridge came from different sides of the freestyle ladder to eventually meet in the final for a superb close show with the judging now scoring 12 attempts with the best 5 counting. Tom Bridge (12 years old) scored 35 with his highest scoring move being a 7.76 with a double hinterberger pass. This beat Guy on 20 points who at age 13 was riding powered in straps with the NKB Select. Tom takes his first world title and shares the celebration with his older brother!
Day 4 and 5 saw the 14 - 16 category of the boys, riding on their biggest kites. Execution continues to play a huge role in the overall result and it showed that many riders had been really working on their skills to show them to the judges. Since the ladder did not get completed a joint 5th place went to team mates Jan Novotny from chech republic and Manu de Pfyffer from Spain while another world title for North Kiteboarding was earned. This one went to european champion - Jérôme Cloetens from Spain. As the single elimination did not get finished he shared this title with Font.
Youth race world champion, older brother Ollie Bridge had a blinding heat on his 14mtr Vegas, but got kicked out of the singles so this put an end to this championship for him for this time.
This PKRA event showed the huge talent amongst the youth and the potential of the North Kiteboarding youth team. Congrats to the the 2 new youth freestyle champions - Jérôme Cloetens and Tom Bridge

Tom Court Camp in Sri Lanka
As a new and interesting aspect of kiteboarding, traveling to a country to find the flattest water would be something that seemed ludicrous to most surfers, an unimaginable fate, going to a country that has waves and yet choosing to go to the flat, lagoon sheltered coast and spend two weeks there, in a grass hut, with nothing except flat water and wind to keep you company. Well, as crazy as this would seem, and indeed I am a surfer too, this is exactly what I have done for the last two weeks here in Kalpitya, Sri Lanka. In search of the ultimate freestyle spot, a place to ride uncrowded flat water, try some new tricks and film my adventures...for me this is excitement of a different kind.
I was now there for two weeks, riding the platitudes of flat water spots, doing down winders and fitting in as many boat trips as we could. Although the Sri Lanka Kite center is right on the edge of the lagoon, you can launch from the kite school and ride across the lagoon to the sand bar on the other side, that offers an amazing freestyle location, with mirror flat water and variably constant wind. There are also a lot of other kite spots available that are not so easy to access but, they are well worth the mission. Getting a local fishing boat, it is possible to drive down wind for about forty minuets, this will take you deep into military controlled zone, towards the north of the island. Having only just escaped the grip of a long civil war, the army still has a big presence on the island. This serves to enhance the excitement, although if you go there with the kite camp, then there is nothing to worry about, although it does help to keep these kite spots pretty empty most of the time. Once you have entered this area, there are an expanse of small sand islands within the lagoon, none of them higher than about fifteen feet and all of them with butter flat off-shore sections. Each one is bigger than the last until you eventually reach one that has a flat offshore kite spot that stretches for about four miles. One of the best freestyle spots I have ever seen!
My trip this time was two weeks long and I would recommend this a a good length of time to take if you plan to visit. It will give you time to get used to the 35degree heat and enough time to polish your kite skills and take them to the next level. If you are a person who prefers to spend a little longer on a trip and get some time to really explore the place, I would also recommend it. Undoubtably Sri Lanka has a lot to offer, although a comparably small country compared to India, there is a lot of truth in the name 'Jewel of the Indian Ocean'. It has such a rich tapestry of cultural influence, a mixture of religions that has sculpted the island into a holy place, with temples represent each religion all over the place. Its wildlife and tropical rain forest's cover the interior and although it has some more touristy areas, there is a lot to explore that will really make you feel like you are on an adventure. Kiteboarding is a new sport in Sri Lanka and the tourism for sports like kiting and surfing are just building up there. I left the country this time, inspired by what I had seen kiteboarding bring to the area around the lagoons on the east coast in such a short time. The changes I had seen the sport make in a positive way and the implications that this has on the surrounding village and local people, business, livelihood, foreign trade and most if all an exposure to a lifestyle that is spreading faster than we can imagine. Already there are local Sri Lankan children learning to kite and it wont be long until we see them in the magazines, an opportunity that only a few sports can offer. So, if you are into kiteboarding, don't underestimate its power as a sport. Use it as inspiration to change your life, an excuse to get out and see new places, a reason to meet new people and a way to most importantly have fun! Sat on the plane, leaving Sri Lanka and flying back to Europe, I sit an wonder, where is next!?"

* � The College News � VOL. XIX, No. 7 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1932 PRICE 10 CENTS M. Paul Hazard Speaks on Voltaire's Talent * Voltaire and Mme. Chatelet Were Disciples of Newton and Empiricism WAS PROLIFIC WRITER A vie. Voltaire il y a 200 ans was the topic chosen by M. Paul Hazard for his lecture in the Music Room of Goodhart last Saturday evening. Hav- ing devoted most of his time to po- etry, when, as the Flexner lecturer, M. Hazard visited Bryn Mawr two y.ars ago, he said that he now wished to turn to prose. Moreover, although Voltaire is universally -known, he is always worth further study; however lucid and precise he may be, the mul- tiplicity of his facts makes analysis very difficult. One can but study his various aspects separately in an at- tempt to see him as" he really was. Voltaire, it appears, was seriously in love with Mme. du Chatelet. For him, she had a genius worthy of Hor- ace and Newton. Together, at Cirey, they sought solitude, a rather social one, to be sure; simplicity had not yet come into style. Voltaire's room, for example, was highly decorated, with a rug of crimson velvet, silver dishes, Indian wallpaper, and no com- fort. Voltaire quite frankly admit- ted to a dislike for the spontaneous and the primitive. The society to which he belonged lived pleasurably; for them, nature was not yet king. Voltaire was "un enfant gate." Of- ten he became cross and sulked: "Je ne descendra pas pour diner." He had frequent quarrels with Mme. du Cliatelet at the dinner-table�in Eng- lish, so that the servants would not understand. Indeed, the lovers saw each other exactly as they were. Was not Voltaire the apostle of season? Still, he found he was not always true to his faith: Mme du Chatelet had a child, which he deplored as a "faute de gout;" Mme. du Chatelet saw too much of St. Lambert, and Voltaire was jealous; finally, Mme. du Chatelet died, and Voltaire made a terrific scene and blamed St. Lam- bert. Voltaire tried to impose rea- son on natural forces, and failed. As a writer, Voltaire was a man of miraculous ability. He produced play after play, retreating before nothing except the three unities. He_even planned an epic. But with age, his hardiness seems to have left him. Such works as Mahomet, with its monoto- nous verse and countless abstractions, sound almost desperate. It is true that a good part of his work has aged. In his "petites pieces," however, in which he has re- produced the thought and spirit of his tinje, one will never cease to delight in the natural vocabulary, the facile phrasing, the "delicieuses mecharice- tes," Rare and aristocratic, his re- production of a graceful, supple, ele- gant society, gives us that sense of satisfaction which comes from the contemplation of perfection. It may be a madrigal, such as the compli- ment to Mme. du Chatelet as she was learning algebra; it may be a very naughty epigram, such as the famous "L'autre jour, au fond d'un vallon;" it may be a sheer tour de force of virtuosity like "Au roi de Prusse," but whenever he contents himself with "petite musique," Voltaire is supreme- ly successful. With regard to his prose, one can find nothing better than a letter of Voltaire. Light, but delicious, he ex- ploits a sensation to the point of rendering it almost immaterial. He is wit incarnate. Mme. du Chatelet was a scholar. She (Continued on Page Three) Hockey At the hockey dinner on Mon- day night, Josephine Rothermel, '34, was elected Varsity captain and Elizabeth Kent, '35, mana- ger.

Joseph Fort Newton, D.D., of St. James Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, and the Choir will be under the direction of Ern- est Willoughby.- International Club for s Bryn Mawr is Suggested At Vassar, Wellesley, Smith, Con- necticut, and Mt. Holyoke there exist so-called International or Cosmopoli- tan Clubs which discuss current events, send delegates to the Model League of Nations Assembly, and welcome foreign students when they first arrive. Bryn Mawr has never had any formal organization of this sort, but there seems to be a consid- erable interest in foreign affairs among the students. A meeting will be held after Dr. Fenwick's lecture next Tuesday evening, December 12, to discover whether this interest warrants the formation of an Inter- national Club at Bryn Mawr. Although to many students it may seem that enough demands on their time and energy are made by organi- zations already existing, a foreign re- lations club could perform many val- uable functions which are now ne- glected. Dr. Fenwick has by his weekly lectures kept the student body well informed about current events, but he necessarily covers a number of topics each evening, and can never discuss any single one fully. If all those who would like to hear more about the events he mentions were organized in a club, it would be pos- sible to secure outside speakers on special topics who otherwise would never be heard. There is no occa- sion for the college authorities to in- vite such speakers, but if some spe- cial group existed, assuring a small, interested audience, a number of men with an intimate knowledge of foreign affairs might easily be induced to speak in the Common Room. The for- eign students who come to study at Bryn Mawr might be introduced at International Club teas. The gradu- ate fellows, in particular, never be- come more than mere glamorous names to the majority of undergradu- ates, who hear their appointments an- nounced in chapel. The formation of some kind of club interested in cur- rent events would also make Bryn Mawr eligible for the Carnegie pub- lications, which Dr. Fenwick would be delighted to have at the college. Furthermore, the existence of such (Continued on Page Three) American Philosophi- cal Society Meets Here Bryn Mawr Campus Selected as Location for Society's Yearly Convention DR. WEISS READS PAPER The Eastern Division of the Amer-| ican Philosophical Association is hold-. ing its thirty-second annual meeting at Bryn Mawr during the Christmas holidays, on December 28th, 29th, and 30th. This association gathers yearly at one of the large colleges or uni-; versities along the Atlantic sea coast, �Princeton, Amherst, Swarthmore,' and the University of Virginia being among those that have been chosen [ in the past as places of meeting. The honor goes to Bryn Mawr this year,! and it is of especial interest in view ! of the fact that until now no learned association has ever convened on our � campus. The local committee charg-1 ed with conducting the proceedings! has Dr. Grace De Laguna for its chairman, and consists further of; Dean Manning, Dean Schenck, and1 Dr. Leuba. , Pembroke Hall is to be, used for rooms and meals, and the' Common Room, as, a lounge and smok-! ing room throughout the meetings. Several people connected with the col- lege are figuring on the program. Dr. Paul Weiss is reading a paper on I "The Individual." Helen H. Park-; hurst, who is now a professor at Bar- j nard College, but who received her A.B. degree and also her Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr, is discussing "Relational Absolutes." Katherine Gilbert, who was, according to Miss Thomas, the first "academic warden" at college, and who is now a pnofessor at Duke University, is takingMip "The Rela-1 tion of the Moral to the Aesthetic Standard in Plato."

Margaret Tyler) At the meeting of the French club in Merion showcase last Tuesday af- ternoon, Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gen- tilhomme was chosen as the produc- tion for this year. M. Canu gave a talk on his first impressions of America. He began very modestly by saying that we prob- ably knew very much more about America than he ever would. To get the right atmosphere for this story, he said that we must go back to the time when he was a free man, a stu- dent coming to America on a scholar- ship. It was a free and easy time, as his course was simple and he could study or not as he chose, being pro- vided with unlimited.cuts. When the summer vacation came, two friends and he decided to hire an automobile and take a trip around the United States. At first they consid- ered trains, but someone said they were kept very hot over here and on coming out of them into the air, one was liable to catch all sorts of dis- eases. Next they thought of bicy- cling, but people told them that it was "mal vu" in America. Not one of them was Jean Jacques Rousseau with his love of nature, or they would have walked, so they bought an an- cient car, tents and cooking utensils, and set about getting their drivers' licenses. People warned them that New York was a very hard place to learn and that the examination was difficult, and they were advised to go ** Washington. "Done nous voila a Washington!" One of his friends was a celebrated economist and was immediately en- trusted with the funds and named "Ministre des Finances." The other was a good cook and was "Ministre de l'Interieur," while he, who spoke the best English in the party ("jugez les autres") was nominated "Ministre des Affaires Etrangeres" and charg- ed with getting letters of introduction and doing the speaking for all three. They started oft* through New Eng- land and on to Canada, where they had been told they would feel at home, as everyone spoke French. They (Continued on P��e Four) Royal Family to be Acted in Goodhart Varsity Dramatics and Cap and Bells Are Directed by Mrs. Flexner STAGING IS AMBITIOUS On Friday and Saturday evenings in Goodhart, Varsity Dramatics is presenting perhaps its most difficult undertaking since the days of the Constant Nymph, that is, the Royal Famliy, a three-act comedy by George Kaufman and Edna Ferber. The set in particular was a really monstrous project, for the script requires that it represent the two-story living room of a New York duplex apartment, bal- cony, upper hall, stairs and all. Every possible inch of stage space is being used to make a set big enough for all the people who must appeUr~oh� it at the same time, and the mere fact tha* men fence and ladies faint on the stairway is a good enough clue to the type of construction that is demand- ed. The properties for the three acts fill four or five pages in a script, not the least amongst them being a live parrot, and two champion Great Danes, which are being loaned by Mr. E. S. Choate, of Wayne. The cos- tumes of the women are being loaned by Nan Duskin, of Philadelphia, while Bonwit Teller and Blum's are provid- ing shoes, riding habits, and negligees. Other acknowledgements would fill a column; it suffices to say that there is enough glamour about the proper- ties, costumes and accessories to make the evening worth-while on that ground alone. The cast includes both newly-dis- covered talents and some of the most seasoned actors that both Bryn Mawr and Haverford have produced. The Haverford cast is headed by Philip' Truex, president of the Cap and Bells Club and the Haverford English Club. He has appeared in numerous produc- tions of both these organizations; on the Bryn Mawr stage twice;�in Berk- eley Square and in The Devil's Disci- ple; and has just directed the Eng- lish Club's production of Twelfth Night. He takes the part of Tony Cavendish, temperamental scion of the royal house ofXavendish. Herbert Dean, brother of Fanny Cavendish and uncle of Tony and Julie, is played by James Stoddard. This is his first year in dramatics at Haverford and he has already given a very creditable performance of Mal- volio in Twelfth Night. Perry Stewart, Gwefi Cavendish's fianqe, is played by Russell Richie, who had a small, part in Berkeley Si/uare, and who has just played Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Wolff, the long- suffering manager, is done by Sidney Hollander, whose first appearance this is. Gil Marshall, the South Ameri- can emerald king, who comes back after twenty years to marry Julie, will be portrayed by Henry Vaux. Mr. Vaux is an experienced actor and not new to the Bryn Mawr stage, for besides his performances in the Cap and Bells productions of the Queen's Husband, Tons of M-m, ,,_ and the English's Club's Twelfth Night, he appeared here last year as the Am- bassador in Berkeley Square. Bruce Jones, new to our stage, bufknown in the Cap and Bells for his work in Twelfth Night and Tons of Money, will play Jo, the butler, and John Pugliese, a freshman, will play Mac- Dermott, the pugilist-trainer. The three women of the royal fam- ily, Fanny, Julie, and Gwen, will be played by Del MacMaster, Janet Mar- shall, and Betty Lord, respectively. With the exception of Miss Lord, whose only other Bryn Mawr appear- ance was as the heroine of the Fresh- man Show of the Class of 1935, this (Continued on Pa** Five) Resignation The College News regrets to annb'unce the resignation of Peggy Little, '35, from the Business Board.

Probability of Success
2007-08: Philipp Grubauer appeared in five games for Rosenheim's senior team in the German third division and played 23 games for Rosenheim's U-18 team. He posted a 2.73 GAA with the senior club and a 3.12 GAA with the U-18 team. Grubauer started 4 of 6 games for fifth-place Germany at the WJC U-18 tournament and was 2-2 with a 17-save shutout over Denmark and a 4.16 GAA and .877 save percentage. Grubauer was selected in the first round (25th overall) of the 2008 CHL Import Draft by the OHL's Belleville Bulls.
2008-09: Grubauer played his first season in North America with Belleville as a back-up to Mike Murphy (CAR). He played in 17 games for the Bulls and was 7-8 with a 3.93 GAA and .888 save percentage. Grubauer made his OHL debut and was named the game's first star after stopping 36 of 38 shots in a win over Peterborough on September 20. He had three straight wins in January, relieving Murphy and stopping 23 of 25 shots in a come-from-behind win over Kingston on January 16 and then defeating Sault Ste. Marie and Ottawa in his next two starts. Grubauer appeared in one playoff game for the Bulls and stopped 37 of 41 shots in relief of Murphy in a season-ending 7-2 loss to Brampton. Grubauer represented Germany as a backup to Timo Pielmeier (SJ) at the WJC U-20 tournament but neither goalie had much success for the over-matched German team that was relegated to Division 1 following the tournament. He finished with a 6.61 GAA and .838 save percentage in three games.
2009-10: Grubauer opened the season with Belleville before a mid-season trade to Memorial Cup-bound Windsor in January. He was 10-14 with 5 overtime losses and had a a 3.14 GAA and .913 save percentage in 31 games with Belleville. Grubauer played in 19 games during the regular season for Windsor following the trade and then saw the majority of action as the Spitfires captured the OHL and Memorial Cup championships in the post-season. Grubauer was named OHL Goaltender of the Month in January after going 6-0 with one shootout loss for the Spitfires. He finished the regular season 13-1 with 2 overtime losses and registered a 2.37 GAA and .906 save percentage. In the OHL playoffs, Grubauer was 18-2 with 2 shutouts and posted a 2.69 GAA and .909 save percentage. In four Memorial Cup games, he was 4-0 with a 2.14 GAA and .930 save percentage as Windsor captured its second straight title. Grubauer was 5-0 for Germany in the WJC U-20 Division 1B tournament as his team attained a promotion to the top pool for the 2011 championship. Central Scouting rated Grubauer ninth among North American goaltenders in the 2010 NHL Draft.
2010-11: Grubauer went from the defending Memorial Cup champion Windsor Spitfires to middle-of-the-pack Kingston in a September OHL trade and split the goaltending duties with 17-year-old Frank Palazzesse. In 38 games with the Frontenacs he had a 22-13 record with 2 shutouts and a 3.62 GAA and .903 save percentage. Grubauer missed the playoffs for Kingston, returning to Germany due to a case of mononucleosis. Grubauer played in four games for Germany at the 2011 U20 Junior World Championship. He was 0-4 with a 4.44 GAA and .888 save percentage on a German team that finished last in the ten-team tournament.
2011-12: Grubauer was impressive in his first pro season; handling the bulk of the goaltending chores for Washington's ECHL affiliate South Carolina. He appeared in 43 games for the Stingrays and was 23-18 with five losses coming in overtime or shootouts. He had 1 shutout while posting a 2.22 goals against and .918 save percentage. South Carolina reached the second round in the playoffs after finishing fourth in the South Division. Grubauer missed the playoffs after suffering a late season hand injury.
2012-13: Grubauer appeared in two games for the Capitals in his second season and showed promise while playing for the Capitals' affiliates in Hershey (AHL) and Reading (ECHL). Grubauer made his first NHL appearance in relief on February 27th, stopping all 14 shots he faced in 25 minutes of action against the Flyers. He made his only NHL start on March 9th and stopped 40 of 45 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Islanders. Grubauer played one game with Hershey before being sent to Reading during the NHL lockout and returned to the Bears in January. In 28 AHL games he was 15-9-2 with 2 shutouts and had a 2.25 goals against and .919 save percentage. Grubauer started all five games in the playoff series with Providence and was 3-2 with a 3.79 goals against and .901 save percentage. He was 19-5-1 in 26 games with Reading and had a 2.30 goals against and .912 save percentage; being selected for the ECHL All-Star Game.
Talent Analysis
Grubauer is a big, technically sound, calm goaltender. His strength is his ability to fill the net and utilize his quick legs to make seemingly impossible saves while deflecting pucks out of harm's way. Grubauer is also possesses an above average glove hand. Having played at a lower level of competition in his native Germany, and seeing limited ice time in his first season with Belleville, he is still learning to deal with the more sophisticated scorers and higher quality shooters in North America. He can sometimes be deked out of position or beaten by accurate shots - particularly in the top of the net.
Grubauer's full potential is a bit difficult to gauge at this point as he has been dominant on stronger teams but been less impressive playing on middle-of-the-pack or weaker ones. He had a less than stellar run as Kingston's number one goaltender, and was sidelined in the playoffs due to mononucleosis. Long-term, Grubauer has the physical make up and natural ability to one day be a starter at the NHL level but his game is far from complete and he will have to work hard to reach that level. He may spend time with Hershey (AHL) or Reading (ECHL), where he'll need plenty of time to develop. With the Capitals' organization seemingly filled with young goaltending talent, Grubauer's NHL opportunity might come with another club.

Despite all the reading and thought I've put into it, I'm still just a guy on a computer on some forum. The chance to do something right, to face a real ethical situation, rarely happens, and even then you usually have no idea if what you're doing is right or wrong because you have so little information to work with, and you have no idea how the effects of your actions will spiral out per the butterfly effect.
That person may be right in some respects, but only in the way that there is no why for any of us to exist, given that that person probably said it in a quite negative way. There is no ultimate, objective reason for any of us to exist. There is only what we give ourselves.
I wouldn't say that's selfish. I'd wager that your guilt probably stems from a sense of unfulfilled potential. You hear these bad things, and you're sad that you aren't out there making some difference (of course, that feeling doesn't tend to relate to reality - just like how people with tons of friends can feel lonely). So you know it has nothing to do with you, but you feel like you could've done something in the abstract, and that guilt may come from knowing you aren't living to your fullest self. But most everyone feels that. And anyone who has the audacity to declare themselves as living up to their fullest potential clearly aren't. So it's not selfish. You're thinking about yourself, sure, but you're thinking about it in relation to the fact that maybe you could've done something about some similar situation somewhere. That's not making it about you. Of course maybe you feel what I said doesn't reflect you and I was off the mark and that's fine too.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have recently finished treatment for male breast cancer, including a mastectomy with removal of some lymph nodes and 6 months of chemo with A/C and Taxol. Now, 2 months after very difficult treatment I am experiencing easy bruising all over my body, joint pain and swelling, and loss of strength in the hand of the effected side of my body. Is there a relationship between these symptoms and the chemo regime, and will it improve? As a Toolmaker I work with my hands for a living and am currently incapacitated by this new development. . Is there anything I can do or a course to pursue to alleviate the pain and/or reverse this new problem?
Kevin R. Fox, MD, Assistant Director, Clinical Affairs and Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Some patients that receive cancer treatment may have a variety of complaints even after the full treatment course is completed. The symptoms you are complaining about are common and are most likely related to the Taxol chemotherapy. It can sometimes take months for these symptoms to improve and resolve. In my experience, it will almost certainly get better. You should discuss these complaints directly with your physician to make sure that there are not any other potential causes of these symptoms related to your individual situation.
Mar 6, 2015 - Postmenopausal breast cancer patients receiving aromatase inhibitors adjunctively can experience joint pain, marked by fluid buildup in joints, localized inflammation of tendon sheaths, and carpal tunnel syndrome, according to a study published online Sept. 14 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
