Pollinator Gardening!
If you want to learn about what bees do, and how gardeners can support healthy pollinator populations through simple gardening practice, then this is for you: Your Sustainable Backyard: Pollinator Gardening.
Sponsored by the California Center for Urban Horticulture (CCUH), it's a workshop set from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, April 28 on the UC Davis campus. It's for all who love gardening, says coordinator Melissa "Missy" Gable, program manager of CCUH.
"This workshop is designed both to inspire gardeners and equip them with all the necessary tools to provision pollinating insects in their own landscape," Gable says. "Without the pollination services of European honey bees and native bees, what fruits and vegetables would be accessible to us?"
The first part will include talks by entomologists, horticulturists and design experts from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Room 101 of Giedt Hall.
Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology at UC Davis, and Dave Fujino, executive director of CCHU, will welcome the crowd from 8:45 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis, will speak on "Bees 101: Species Diversity and Behavior" from 9 to 4:45 a.m. Then , pollination ecologist Neal Williams, assistant professor of entomology at UC Davis, will discuss "Importance of Pollinators and Conservation."
Ellen Zagory, director of horticulture at the UC Davis Arboretum will cover "Bee Plants" from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The last workshop speaker, Vicki Wojcik, associate program manager of Pollinator Partnership will zero in on "Pollinator Gardening: Design and Maintenance" from12:30 to 1:15 p.m.
Following the formal presentations, participants are invited to (1) tour the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road, and (2) visit the UC Davis Arboretum Teaching Nursery, where they can see the pollinator demonstration beds and have an opportunity to buy plants at a specially held sale inside the nursery. Members of the Friends of the Arboretum will receive a 10 percent discount.
Both the haven and the UC Davis Arboretum Teaching Nursery will be open from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Thorp and Gable will be at the haven to answer questions during the self-guided tours, and Zagory will be on hand in the teaching nursery's demonstration gardens to field questions.
The registration fee of $45 registration includes parking, morning coffee/tea, scones and a gourmet boxed lunch. See registration site.
This definitely is "the place to bee."

Your Basic Bee Book
Not all floral visitors are bees.
That's why we're glad to see the publication of Bee Basics: An Introduction to Our Native Bees.
It will introduce folks to such native bees as leafcutter bees, sweat bees and bumble bees.
It's co-authored by retired biologist Beatriz Moisset of Willow Grove, Pa., and entomologist Stephen Buchmann, international coordinator of the Pollinator Partnership, based in San Francisco. The illustrations, based on Buchmann's photos, are by Steve Buchanan of Wingsted, Conn., known for creating the U.S. Postal Service's pollinator stamps that were issued June 29, 2007.
"From forests to farms, from cities to wildlands, there are 4000 native bee species in the United States, from the tiny Perdita minima to large carpenter bees," they wrote.
"The honey bee, remarkable as it is, does not know how to pollinate tomato or eggplant flowers. It does very poorly compared to native bees when pollinating many native plants, such as pumpkins, cherries, blueberries, and cranberries."
The book includes descriptions and illustrations of bees from such families as Apidae, Andrenidae, Halictidae, Megachilidae and Colletidae.
They wrote: "The members of the five most common families, Apidae, Halictidae, Andrenidae, Megachilidae and Colletidae, can be found throughout the North American continent from Canada and Alaska to warm and sunny Florida and Mexico; from forests to deserts; from remote wildernesses to gardens and backyards; even the National Mall in the heart of our nation's capital sports a native bee fauna. Perhaps the only places where bees are absent are the high mountains."
"There is even a hardy little bee, the arctic bumble bee, which lives within the Arctic Circle."
The booklet also offers tips on how to attract pollinators. A great resource!
Steve Buchmann, of Tucson, Ariz., received his doctorate in entomology from the University of California, Davis with major professor Robbin Thorp. Now an adjunct faculty member in the entomology and EEB (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) departments at the University of Arizona, Buchmann is the author of 150 scientific publications and 12 bbooks, including The Forgotten Pollinators.
Beatriz Moisset, born in Argentina and a resident of the United States for more than 40 years, obtained her doctorate in biology from the University of Cordoba, Argentina. She completed her postdoctoral work at the Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, Maine studying neurochemistry and behavior. A multitalented person (she's an artist, photographer, author and public speaker), she has displayed her pastels and oil paintings at many art shows and contributes her insect photography to the online resource BugGuide.Net.
"I became interested in pollinators after my retirement, combining photography and painting with field observations," Moisset said.
The book, a USDA Forest Service and Pollinator Partnership Publication, can be ordered from the Pollinator Partnership website for a small donation.
The cover of Bee Basics: An Introduction to Our Native Bees.
Hole in One
First you give them roots, then you give them wings.
That's what's happening in our bee condo, a wooden block (nest) with drilled holes for leafcutting bees (Megachile).
They flew in, laid their eggs, provisioned the nests with pollen and leaf fragments, and capped the holes.
We had 11 tenants. Now there's a hole in one.
Success! A leafcutting bee emerged. Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis, says that "Some leafcutting bees, especially the introduced ones like the alfalfa leafcutting bee, have more than one generation per year. Bees of the second and third generation may clean out or partly clean out old nest holes like this and construct a new nest inside. Sometimes you can find new leaf material inside the old cocoon of the previous nest builder. Thus, the tunnels get smaller in diameter with succeeding generations. Kind of like the build up of old cocoons in honey bee comb and resulting smaller inner diameter of the brood cells in old dark comb."
It's all rather exciting being a "beekeeper." We've never had a hole in one--'til now.
If you, too, want to keep native bees, Thorp has compiled a list of where you can buy homes for them or where you can learn how to build your own. The list is on the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research facility website.
You can also buy them at beekeeping supply stores.
Now that we have a hole in one, 10 tenants to go...

Going Native
It's good to see so much interest in native bees and native plants.
At the UC Davis Department of Entomology, we're frequently contacted by folks throughout the country asking what to plant to attract pollinators--native bees, honey bees (honey bees not native; European colonists brought them over here in 1622), and other pollinators.
The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation has a wonderful list of native plants on its website. You click on your region and you'll be directed to a list.
If you poke around the Xerces Society website, you can find information on why native bee habitats are important and how to create native bee habitats. Also check out the pollinator handbook and the fact sheets.

Yellow-Faced Bumble Bee
So Many Bees
Folks accustomed to seeing only honey bees (which are non-natives) buzzing around their yard probably aren't aware that in the United States alone there are some 4000 identified species of native bees.
And they probably aren't aware of The Bee Course.
That's a workshop offered for conservation biologists, pollination ecologists and other biologists who want to gain greater knowledge of the systematics and biology of bees. It's held annually in Portal, Ariz. in the Chiricahua Mountains at the Southwest Research Station of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). This year's dates are Aug. 22-Sept. 1.
Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, and active in the Xerces Society, has taught at The Bee Course since 2002.
The course, led by Jerry Rozen of AMNH, has been operating continuously since 1999, Thorp said, and UC Davis graduates are very much involved. Steve Buchmann who received his Ph.D. at UC Davis in 1978, is one of the instructors. Ron McGinley who received his undergraduate degree at UC Davis, does most of the initial student contact and scheduling for the course, Thorp said.
"There are usually about eight instructors and 22 participants for the 10- day course," Thorp said. "Most of the time is spent in the lab identifying bees to genus. At least three days are spent in the field so students can see various bees doing their thing, collect them and bring them back to the lab to ID them. It is a great experience for students to interact with instructors and especially with their peers from round the world."
"Instructors all donate their time to teach in the course, but benefit from the chance to get together with colleagues and a new cohort of interesting students each year. Every class is different--that is, it takes on its own personality--and each student brings something new and different to the mix."
More locally, Thorp will speak Sunday, March 7 on the amazing diversity of native bees at the 2010 Bee Symposium, sponsored by the Santa Rosa-based Partners for Sustainable Pollination (PFSP). He'll discuss their nesting habits and nest site requirements. The symposium takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Subud Center, 234 Hutchins Ave., Sebastopol.
The fourth annual conference will offer updates and new perspectives on honey bees and native pollinators, according to PFSP executive director Kathy Kellison.
It's good to see the focus on native bees as well as honey bees. For more information on native bees, be sure to check out the Xerces Society Web site and UC Berkeley's Native Bee Gardens.

A wonderful popcorn treat that is delicious made fresh at home - popcorn tossed in a buttery caramel toffee coating with your favorite nuts, what is not to love about that?! |
Homemade Crunch and Munch
Way more than Cracker Jack, way more than dark Caramel Corn, Butter Toffee Popcorn - or more specifically Crunch and Munch - has always been my love. What sets Butter Toffee apart from Caramel Corn? I don't really know! I know a lot of people simply call this Caramel Corn, but to me Caramel Corn has a much deeper, richer molasses flavor and is darker in color. Butter Toffee popcorn, is more brown sugar buttery, and lighter in color than Caramel Corn to me. But, that's just me, because The Cajun just calls this Caramel Corn. I can tell you one thing that we agree on about it. It is addictive!Okay, so it's true there's a little work behind this snack, and yes, it makes a mess that requires you soak a few pots too, but it is so very worth it. Some recipes add baking soda and vanilla, but I don't know why, and I really don't find the recipe needs either. I also know that some people make this using bags of microwave popcorn, but I have kinda gotten into the habit of popping corn fresh on the stove top and really enjoy the whole process. To me, it just tastes better, plus I like adding in my own real, pure butter right into the cooking process too. Besides, there was that whole microwave popcorn health scare thing. Oh you didn't know about that? Me either, well, not until after the fact anyway, but that's a whole 'nother post.
If you prefer to skip that step, you can certainly substitute microwave popcorn. Most standard size microwave popcorn brands will yield somewhere between 3-1/2 to 5 cups of popcorn, so you would need somewhere around 4 bags. One-half cup of raw popcorn kernels will yield about 4 quarts (16 cups) of popped popcorn, so you can see as with most packaged products, it is much more economical to use raw kernels.
This recipe makes what I consider to be one batch, meaning it pops well in my smallest stainless Dutch oven, the pot that I like to use for popcorn. It's about 4-1/2 quarts in size. Certainly do as many batches as you like! I'm not gonna say how many we went through over the weekend.
Recipe: Homemade Butter Toffee Caramel Nut Popcorn
From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 1 hour | Yield: About 4 quarts
For the Popcorn:
For the Caramel Nut:
- 2 tablespoons of canola oil
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of raw popcorn kernels
- Large pinch of kosher salt
- 3 cups of nuts (peanuts, pecan halves, cashews, almonds, walnuts, or any combination)
- 1-1/2 sticks of unsalted butter, divided
- 1 cup of light brown sugar, packed well
- 1/2 cup of light Karo corn syrup
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray; set aside. Melt a half stick (1/4 cup) of unsalted butter for later; set aside.
Prepare the popcorn by heating the oil, then adding the 2 tablespoons of butter, along with the raw popcorn kernels. Pop, then salt and toss; set aside. Meanwhile, for the caramel, melt the stick (1/2 cup) of butter in a large saucepan, add the brown sugar and corn syrup, and using a wooden spoon, stir constantly, bringing mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to between medium and medium high and allow to boil, without stirring, for 5 minutes. Quickly and carefully pour the brown sugar mixture over the top of the popcorn and stir immediately to distribute, adding the 1/2 stick of melted butter while stirring. Turn out onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 250 degrees F for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Stir, transfer to a cool baking sheet to dry and set. Delicious served slightly warm. Store in an airtight container.
Cook's Notes: You get far more bang for your buck using homemade popcorn as above, but you can substitute microwave popcorn if you prefer. Most standard size microwave popcorn brands will yield somewhere between 3-1/2 to 5 cups of popcorn, so you would generally need about 4 or 5 bags.
Variation: Make it more like Cracker Jack by substituting half dark Karo syrup, with half molasses or pure cane syrup, and using dark brown sugar.

The Crown CM-311AE or CM-312AE headworn mic works with Sennheiser's new Evolution G2 transmitter. You'll need to solder a 3.5mm (mini) stereo phone plug to the end of the mic cable, ideally using a locking phone plug from Sennheiser. Solder the mic-cable red lead to tip, white to ring, and shield to sleeve. Use the transmitter's menu to change the sensitivity from 30 dB to 0 dB. The mic will work dependably for at least 10 hours without changing batteries.
The transmitter's battery life can be extended if you modify the transmitter's electronics. Sennheiser supplied a diagram that shows how to do it:
If the signal level is too low, Sennheiser has suggested wiring the white and red leads to the phone-plug tip. However, the EQ circuit that is inline with the cable does not work with that wiring. To get a higher output signal, you could cut off the EQ circuit, then solder the white and red leads to tip. Then the bass will be very weak. You will need to turn up the bass (low frequencies) on your mixer EQ to compensate. That might be an acceptable solution.

Maybe we could halfway in Chino Hills or something. I'm not familiar with court locations though.
Looking for a 4.0 player to hit with anyone interested?

The College News VOL. XX, No. 12 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1934 ^opyrlRht BRYN MAWR POLLICGE NEWS, 1933 PRICE 10 CENTS =/ Miss Sands Renders Novel Monologues Evolution of American Acting Traced by Impersonations of Noted Stars ROLES ARE AUTHENTIC Miss Dorothy Sands' presentation of a series of monologues entitled Our Stage and Stars, in Goodhart Hall last Wednesday night, was a highly expert and entertaining study in the development in styles of American acting since 1787. Miss Sands has a knowledge of the technique and sub- tleties of acting that is rarely found in modern actresses. To say that in her period roles, her every movement and gesture were in period is mere- ly to scratch the surface of her fin- ished performance. She has spent years studying the way people walked, talked, moved, gesticulated, and managed their clothes in different periods; what they read, thought, and talked about, and how they lived, 'with the result that she is never a modern actress in per- iod costume, but always an actress of the 1780's or 1860's or early 1900's, moving about and talking on the stage. Before every impersonation, Miss Sands appeared in her own character to describe the play from which the next scene was taken, and to set the tone of the period by describing the audience which attended the play. Her first scene was laid on April 16, 1787, at the John Street Theatre. "Mr. anil Mrs. Van Rensselaer have come to take the seats which their colored servants have been holding for them since early in the day; it is near six, time for the play to begin. The men are wearing bright-colored satin coats, the women powdered wigs and stiff hoop-skirted dresses. Peanut- vendors are crying their wares in the gallery; harpsichords and fiddles are being played in the pit. Smoke from the candles in the ceiling chan- deliers and from the candle foot- lights fills the house. The play is the first American comedy, 'A Moral in 5 Parts: The Contrast,' by Royal Ti- tus. The contrast is between the fri- volity and affectation of the British, and the honest sturdiness of the Americans." Miss Sands played the part of Charlotte, "the first American flap- per, filled with English affectations," talking to her friend, Letitia, a debu- (Continued on Pare Four) CALENDAR � Thurs.^Jan. 18.

College for Women Miss Margaret Trumbell Corwin, Bryn Mawr, '12, present executive secretary of the Yale University Graduate School, was appointed Dean of the New Jersey College for Wom- en last week, to succeed the late Mrs. Mabel Smith Douglass. Since N.J.C. is a part of Rutgers University, as Barnard is of Columbia, Miss Corwin will be virtual head of the women's section, which was founded in 1918, and has since developed into one of the largest women's colleges in the country. After graduating from Bryn Mawr, Miss Corwin worked for four years with the Yale University Press. Dur- ing the war, she served as executive secretary of the Connecticut Worn- Wellesley College Admits Male Co-Ed from Turkey . After fifty-eight years as an ex- clusively female institution, Wellesley College has let down its bars to men and enrolled one lone male among its 1,500 students. The subject of this experiment in- co-education is Apostolos Athannais- siou, of Constantinople, Turkey. He came to America in order to study color and drawing with Dr. Alexan- der Campbell, associate professor of art at Wellesley. He will become the latter's assistant on an archeological expedition which is leaving for An- tioch next month. Athannassiou Is twenty-five years old. He speaks sev- en languages fluently and graduated in 1932 from the Robert American College in Constantinople The Boston Herald quotes him as saying: "I find Wellesley College the ideal place to study. My work keeps me so busy that it makes no dif- ference whether the other students are men or women. "Wellesley girls are, well�pretty cute is the expression, I think, but I'm much too busy to bother them at all. ... I have only one criticism to make of them, and this applies to all the American young women I have met, as well as the Wellesley College students � they smoke too much. It ruins their health, and the odor of cigarette smoke about them is unpleasant. They seem to be very democratic and they get along well with one another. That is, they are not at all what you call catty, but they are friendly and helpful. Any young man would fare well as a stu- dent at Wellesley College if he h,ad work to do that took up most of his time, and did not let the presence of so many women bother him." According to the newspaper ac- count, "Nick's enrollment as a stu- dent at Wellesley came about as the result of a vacation trip to the east, during which he met W. Alexander Campbell, associate professor of art at Wellesley College, at Antioch. As a boy, Nick mingled with the cosmo- politan crowds of the Eastern cities of Constantinople and Scutari, swim- ming the Bosphorus for pleasure, and unconsciously acquiring a knowledge of languages and dialects from the races around him. At an age when most American college graduates are forgetting a shaky smattering of Ger- man, Nick was able to speak Greek, Turkish, English, Armenian, German and French fluently. In the United States he has acquired two more tongues�Arabic and American. "Nick likes America and Ameri- cans and calls the United States the 'Encyclopedia of the world,' because its citizens represent such a conglom- eration of nationalities. He says, 'I like Americans because they mind their own business.'" tional Defense, and in 1918 was sent to France by the Y. M. C. A. On her return, she assumed her present duties at the Yale University Gradu- ate School. Miss Corwin has been very active in the American Association of Uni- versity Women. She was director of the North Atlantic division from 1923 to 1927, and in 1930 was the American delegate to the council meeting of the International Federa- tion of University Women at Prague, and in 1932 attended the University Women's Federation Convention in Edinburgh. Addendum Since the News ran its article con- cerning Faculty activities during the en's Committee of the Council of N-vfnolidays, it has been discovered that SURVIVE "The culture of the Eskimos of Prince William Sound is. particularly interesting," said Frederica De La- guna, in her talk at the Deanery on Sunday afternoon, "because they have kept in cold storage the ancient customs." Here in Southwestern Alaska, the Chugach Eskimos have maintained the underlying, primitive hunting culture of all Northern Eu- rasia and Northern America. There are Indian tribes around them, in the interior and to the south, and 'there have been influences from as far away as the state of Washington and British Columbia, from Japan and from Kamchatka, but their culture is even more typically Eskimo than that of their kinsmen in the Aleu- tian Islands. Except for a slight mention in Dahl's Survey, these people had nev- er before been studied, and thus from an anthropological standpoint Dr. Burket-Smith and his expedition, of which Miss De Laguna was a member, were working in new terri- tory. The Eskimos' religion is par- ticularly important. Their material culture has vanished upon contact with white men, which dates from the first Russian fort in 1774, and they are nominally orthodox Greek Cath- olics, but the old religion persists, associated with Christianity. In this their development has been the oppo- site of that of the Greenland Eski- mos, who keep the old mode of life, but have completely lost the old re- ligion. Miss De Laguna showed slides of the beautiful country, the Columbia glacier, the town of Cordova, chief mining and canning center, and others of Chenega, a tiny village on a very old site. There are eight tribes ih'the region of the Sound and the natives make amusing differen- tiations between them. The Sheep Bay people, for instance, have stiff whiskers from eating tallow. The Gravena Bay people eat a great deal of cod fish, and it is said that the windows of their smoke-houses flap on a still day, simply from the people chewing fish inside. At Chenega the people are black, they explain, be- cause they eat so many sea animals. Miss De Laguna showed a number of -lides of Chenega, showing the houses of the people, their holy spring, the grave yard and their skin boats, which all show the influence of the Russians. The spring is inclosed, blessed every two or three years and carefully kept clean. The grave yard shaws crosses of orthodox Greek type with glass covered icons. The boats are now three-seated, because Rus- sian officials used them with two pad- dlers. At Chenega, lives "Ma" Tiede- mann, the Eskimo wife of a German fisherman. She became a great friend and interpreter for the party and her grandfather, Makari Chimowitski, told them many significant stories about their old beliefs. This xeligion, still very much alive and a -part of their existence, is pri- marily practical and is based on in- dependent communion with the spir- (Cotrtinued on Page Three) Deanery Notice Families of undergraduates ifay now avail themselves of the Deanery, but such arrange- ments must be made by the un- dergraduate personally through the Chairman of the Entertain- ing Committee, Mrs. Chadwick- Collins. An additional charge of 15c will be made on the charge of rooms to non-alumnae. Dean Manning Discusses Plan for Comprehensives Mrs. Manning spoke in Chapel. Tuesday morning, on the subject of the new plan for comprehensive ex- aminations which has been proposed by the Curriculum Committee, and is now under consideration by the fac- ulty. The object of calling the stu- dents together, was to explain more fully the aims of this new plan, and to urge the students to look over the copies of the plan in each hall, and to make any suggestions of changes or additions to the present plan which they think advisable to the Curricu- lum member in each hall. The pres- ent plan is not in its final draft, and the Committee is eager to hear the opinion of the student body. The plan calls for a "comprehen- sive exam" covering the major course in all its branches, to be given to each candidate for the A.B. degree with the intention of bringing together all the work done in the one subject in all the different years. The adjec- tive "final" should perhaps be substi- tuted for "comprehensive," for the exam will not attempt to be merely a test of the student's memory", but will test her powers of organization aiid of applying what she has learned to answer the question. An exam of this nature will be important in help- ing a student to measure her own achievement. The whole progress of education at the present time is in the direction of finding an objective .system of exams to test the power of present- ing material, not to demand a mere recitation of facts. Essay questions will be in the majority, and there (Continued on Page � Two) Nazis Want Equality in National Status Dr. Marx Says Hitler Proposal for Disarmament Is Sincere Peace Move ATROCITIES ARE RARE A distinctly startled audience i eard Dr. Marx, publicized and in- troduced as an opponent of the Nazi regime, set forth his ideas on Hitler- ism and Peace, Monday evening. Pre- pared as they were to hear this for- mer professor at the University of Hamburg and Director of Public Welfare of that city attack the poli- cies of the new Germany, from which he is in voluntary exile, his de- fense produced an impression of pro- found conviction. "I feel that my task this evening is not destined to be very easy," said Dr. Marx, "as many of you identify Hitlerism with violence. This idea is based on, an incorrect impression." It is the newspapers that must be blam- ed for fostering this impression cur- rent since jhe Nazi Revolution last March. Dr. Marx, as a constant reader of American publications during the first weeks of the Nazi revolution of March, 1933, was impressed by the predominance of one type of story� the tale of atrocity. "Although I be- long to the opposite side and although my contacts with the suppressed group have been more numerous than with the group in power, I have heard not one atrocity story in Ham- burg." In spite of the fact that one American news syndicate stated that 1,200 people had been killed, employ- ment of violence has been the excep- tion, not the rule. Acts of violence have occurred, but such acts are in- separable from revolution. Usually Americans, nourished on their morning paper's view of the sit- uation, go to the other extreme after a trip to Germany, where they are treated with care and consideration, as foreigners. Even the conscien- tious tourist, who must get to the bottom of things, and to this end in- (Contlnuea on Page Five) In Hepburn, Our Alma Mater Has Hatched "Soaring Eagle," Says Screenland Article Dr. Cadbury attended the National Association of Biblical Instructors which was held in New York, and the meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis, which was also held in New York. At the for- mer, Dr. Cadbury spoke on "How To Teach the Synoptic Gospels," and at the latter he presented two papers, "The Roman Road Through the Beth- horons," which was illustrated, and "The Macellum in Corinth." Dr. Cad- bury resigned as secretary of the So- ciety of Biblical Literature and Exe- gesis, which office he has held since 1916. Fencing A Novice Tournament will be held in the College Gymnasium on Tuesday, January 30, at 7.30 P. M., under the auspices of the Associated Fencers' League of America. Every en- trant must be a member of the A. F. L. A., and one who has not heretofore won an individ- ual prize in any A. F. L. A. competition. Members from the Philadelphia Sword Club and Shipley School,- as well as from Bryn Mawr, will compete. Through the courtesy of Son nland Muguziite, which has given us their permission to reprint an article en- titled, Hepburn's College Dug", from their February issue, we are enabled to pass on to Bryn Mawr the movie world's ideas of a Bryn Mawr girl's college career and their suggestions for a closer rapprochement between the colleges and the movies. After reading the following item, we could but cry, "Oh, for the girlish enthus- ism of the class of '28!'": "One of Hepburn's favorite spots on the campus on spring evenings was the greensward enclosed by the li- brary cloisters where she loved to dis- port herself and roll around in-tbe damp grass!" And after reading the following description of Bryn Mawr's "golden peacock," we heartily agreed with the author that "there is no telling what may happen in the future!" "Bryn Mawr may be called the 'high-brow' of the women's colleges. Rather than going in for society, its aim is to develop intellectual eagles who will soar to great heights. In Kate Hepburn Bryn Mawr has hatch- ed a beautiful golden peacock�also a soaring eagle, but so outside the pattern that American women's col- lege have as yet set up for them- selves, that Bryn Mawr does not ex- actly know how to take it! There has never been exactly an entente cordiale between the motion pictures and the women's colleges. But now with a college girl a tre- mendous sensation on the screen, there is no telling whtt may happen in the future." n We are sure tha Berolzheim- er and Miss Carpenter will be inter- ested to learn that their rooms were privileged to provide what was de- scribed in the captions as "two dif- ferent views of Katherine's college room"�two definitely different view-;, you understand. And, according to the article, the person to whom the "glory" of starting the "barelegged fad" and of first wearing disreputable clothes at Bryn Mawr is attributable, has at last been traced down! Fur- thermore, the first time your daugh- ter cries "I want to go to Bin Mar!" you may thenceforth suspect her of being a genius in embryo. "From the time she was a little freckle-faced girl who could dive like a duck, stand on her head and do all sorts of awe-inspiring stunts on her sliding trapeze in the garden�there were two things that 'Kate' Hep- burn cared for more than anything in the world. One was making up plays and 'putting them on.' When she was twelve she staged her own idea of 'Beauty and the Beast.' playing the 'big, bad wolf herself with jrusto, in a ferocious-looking head she had made with cardboard and flannel. The other was some day to go to Bryn Mawr College. This was her mother's college, and that of her aunt, her mother's sister, now Mrs. Edith Houghton Hooker, of Baltimore, both of whom had been very distinguished students. They had been at Bryn Mawr at the chafing-dish-Iarge-pom- padour-and-padded-hips era of the college girl, around the close of the century, and were keen about college.

In a simple business simulation game (built in Java + Slick2D), which is more suitable to store the player's current amount of money: a float or an int? Some information:
- Most of the transactions will use cents ($0.50, $1.20 and so on)
- There will be interest rate calculations at some point. Simple ones though.
I've seen people saying you should never use float for currency as well as people saying you should never use int for currency. I feel like I should use int and round any necessary percentage calculations. What's the best solution in this case?

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the orbit is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create detailed pictures of the eye sockets (orbits), eyes and surrounding bones.
CT scan - orbital; Eye CT scan; Computed tomography scan - orbit
You lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner. Only your head is placed inside the CT scanner.
You may be allowed to rest your head on a pillow.
Once you are inside the scanner, the machine's x-ray beam rotates around you.
A computer creates separate images of the body area, called slices. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor, or printed on film. The computer can create three-dimensional models of the body area by stacking the slices together.
You must lie still during the exam, because movement causes blurred images. You may be told to hold your breath for short periods.
The actual scan takes about 2 minutes. The entire process takes about 15 minutes.
Certain exams require a special dye, called contrast, to be delivered into the body before the test starts. Contrast helps certain areas show up better on the x-rays.
Some people may have discomfort from lying on the hard table.
Contrast given through an IV may cause a slight burning sensation. You may also have a metallic taste in the mouth and a warm flushing of the body. These sensations are normal and usually go away within a few seconds.
This test is helpful for diagnosing diseases that affect the following areas:
An orbit CT scan may also be used to detect:
CT scans and other x-rays are strictly monitored and controlled to make sure they use the least amount of radiation. The risk associated with any individual scan is very low. The risk increases as numerous additional studies are performed.
In some cases, a CT scan may still be done if the benefits greatly outweigh the risks. For example, it can be more risky not to have the exam, especially if your health care provider thinks you might have cancer.
The most common type of contrast given into a vein contains iodine. If a person with an iodine allergy is given this type of contrast, nausea, sneezing, vomiting, itching, or hives may occur.
If you absolutely must be given such contrast, your doctor may choose to treat you with antihistamines (such as Benadryl) or steroids before the test.
The kidneys help filter the iodine out of the body. If you have kidney disease or diabetes, you should be closely monitored for kidney problems after this test. If you have diabetes or have kidney disease, talk to your health care provider before the test about your risks.
Before receiving the contrast, tell your health care provider if you take the diabetes medication metformin (Glucophage) because you may need to take extra precautions and stop the medication for 48 hours after the test.
In rare cases, the dye can cause a life-threatening allergic response called anaphylaxis. If you have any trouble breathing during the test, you should tell the scanner operator right away. Scanners come with an intercom and speakers, so the operator can hear you at all times.

Should I take antioxidants after I have been diagnosed with cancer?
Katrina Claghorn, RD, Oncology Dietitian for The University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Most cancer centers are counseling patients against taking antioxidants during chemotherapy and radiation therapy therapy since there is the possibility they may reduce the effectiveness of the treatments. The rationale is that antioxidants may somehow protect the tumor during cytoreductive therapy.
Also, since people often think more is better and may take LARGE amounts of many of the antioxidants it is important to warn people about the potential impact on their treatment. However the key word is "potential", since there are no studies to support the assumption. It is important to understand that the recommendation to avoid antioxidant nutrients only applies during active cancer treatment. These nutrients can be very beneficial before andafter therapy.
Mar 7, 2015 - Intake of multivitamin and antioxidant supplements, including those containing selenium and beta-carotene, has no impact on the risk of developing melanoma, according to a study in the August issue of the Archives of Dermatology. The findings refute those of the Supplementation in Vitamins and Mineral Antioxidants (SUVIMAX) study, which found antioxidants increased the risk of melanoma four-fold in women.

Chris Hedges, a senior fellow with the Nation Institute and a hugely influential columnist for the progressive news site Truthdig, is a Pulitzer-Prize winning author and journalist whose books include War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, American Fascists, and Empire of Illusion. He has spent nearly twenty years as a foreign correspondent in the most troubled areas of Central America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Balkans. He has reported on our imperial wars in the Middle East, the problems of peace in Israel and Palestine, and the abject failure of American liberalism in the face of the corporate takeover of the American government. Hedges is now a strikingly compelling spokesperson for the progressive movement in the U.S.
Hedges and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and graphic artist Joe Sacco have traveled to the most depressed pockets of the United States to combine narrative nonfiction with graphic art in DAYS OF DESTRUCTION, DAYS OF REVOLT. They report from the devastated coal fields of West Virginia, the Lakota reservation of Pine Ridge in South Dakota, the streets of Camden, N.J. (the poorest per capita city in the nation), and among undocumented agricultural workers in Immokalee, Florida, to bring readers a true portrait of the vast and growing zones of sacrifice imposed across the country by the marauding, unchecked corporate state.
DAYS OF DESTRUCTION, DAYS OF REVOLT illustrates what happens when a society loses all sense of the sacred, when nothing has intrinsic worth beyond monetary values. Hedges and Sacco reflect back to America in searing portraits of its poorest, most exploited citizens, to show what we are doing to ourselves as a nation. Their collaboration considers what tens of millions of Americans will endure if this country continues to configure itself in an oligarchic system of only masters and serfs.
Hedges has sharply critiqued the Occupy Movement's acceptance of individuals concealing their faces and practicing violence. He insists that unless we begin to stand fast around moral imperatives, we will be complicit in our self-annihilation. "As the centers of American power were seized and hijacked by corporations, the media continued to pay deference to systems of power that could no longer be considered honest or democratic. The media treat criminals on Wall Street as responsible members of the ruling class. They treat the criminals in the White House and the Pentagon as statesmen."
