This core course in the Public Health Genetics Program addresses legal, ethical and social issues arising as genetic knowledge and technologies are made available to individuals and populations. The course will be oriented toward public health concerns and seek to equip the student to anticipate potential legal, ethical and social barriers complicating the incursion of new genetic advances into public health efforts. The course will begin with an overview of the historical uses and abuses of genetics. Using the current state of genetic knowledge and science as a substrate, the course will consider the controversies presented by both the unlimited and the limited access to these new technologies. Among the issues that will be dealt with in detail are: the potential for genetic discrimination and the creation of a genetic "underclass"; the use of genetic information in reproductive decision-making and the risk of a recurrent "eugenics" movement; distributive justice in the dispersal of these new technologies and impact upon the already crippled and dysfunctional health care system; and ownership/property issues arising as science reveal the secrets of the human genome.

Cardiomyopathy is disease in which the heart muscle becomes weakened, stretched, or has another structural problem. It often occurs when the heart cannot pump or function well.
Most people with cardiomyopathy have heart failure .
There are many types of cardiomyopathy, with different causes:
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the heart becomes weak and the chambers get large. As a result, the heart cannot pump enough blood out to the body. It can be caused by many medical problems.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition in which the heart muscle becomes thick. This makes it harder for blood to leave the heart. This type of cardiomyopathy is most often passed down through families.
Ischemic cardiomyopathy is caused by a narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart with blood. It makes the heart walls thin so they do not pump well.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a group of disorders. The heart chambers are unable to fill with blood because the heart muscle is stiff. The most common causes of this type of cardiomyopathy are amyloidosis and scarring of the heart from an unknown cause.
Peripartum cardiomyopathy occurs during pregnancy or in the first 5 months afterward.
When possible, the cause of cardiomyopathy is treated. Medicines and lifestyle changes are often needed to treat the symptoms of heart failure, angina, and abnormal heart rhythms.
Procedures or surgeries may also be used, including:
Recently, implantable artificial heart pumps have been developed. These may be used for very severe cases. However, not all patients need or are able to have this advanced treatment.
The outlook depends on many different things, including:
Heart failure is usually a long-term (chronic) illness. It may get worse over time. Some people develop severe heart failure. In this case, medicines, surgery, and other treatments may no longer help.
Patients with certain types of cardiomyopathy are at risk for dangerous heart rhythm problems.

When I was 16 I came across line dancing. My teacher decided to organise a world record line dance on the sea front in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer. The class helped out. We all joined in and had great fun. I saw it advertised in town but was too shy to go on my own. That summer we went on holiday to Cornwall and they were doing line dancing at the British Legion in Polperro. I thought I'd have a go! Ha ha disaster!! Legs all over the place, didn't know my left from my right never mind a grapevine or a coaster step!! However, I was hooked!! I persisted with it and went back the following week. When I came home I decided to go for it and went to a local class and 7 years later i'm still going strong!! If it wasn't for line dancing I'd never have met so many wonderful people and made so many great friends. Country people are the friendliest you'll ever meet.

I was lucky enough to be invited to a preview of the results from UBM's annual survey of embedded developers. This survey is carried out every year and provides a valuable opportunity to see trends by comparing year on year changes. To be frank, a lot of the data is unsurprising and many factors never seem to change. However, from time to time, clear trends emerge and there can even be surprises. … Read More

I'm still curious about which budget you're talking about (the one which was unanimously voted down in the Senate, if it's not the one in Sentios's link), since the one described in the New England Council review never made it to a vote.Rough Giraffe wrote:So, was Sentios not going to respond? Was kinda looking forward to his perspective. :\
When I link something to support my points, it's not just to fill space or to look pretty in purple. I'd appreciate it if you would carefully consider what they say.Rough Giraffe wrote:But anyway, as regards to employers telling their employees that if Obama's policies go through they may lose their jobs, if were related to party affiliation (i.e., "Vote Republican or you're fired"), I would agree that it is fucked up--and possibly illegal. However, the memos in question related to the policies themselves; in other words, the boss is saying something along the lines of "I don't appreciate having the money that the government borrows from us simply given to those who do nothing to earn it, with no limit in sight. If these policies are put in place I may have to downsize my force as a result."
The first link wrote:Orlando time-share mogul David Siegel has told his 7,000 employees that if Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is not elected, he may have to lay people off -- and might even retire and take their "opportunities" with him to a beach in the Caribbean.
The e-mail was forwarded anonymously to the Sentinel by someone who said, "I feel like my boss is threatening me."
Siegel has said that in 2000, he strongly encouraged his employees to vote for George W. Bush and ran a "big sales campaign" for him. But when asked in the movie what he did to help Bush, he said, "I'd rather not say, because it may not necessarily have been legal."
The second link wrote:He also wrote: "At the request of many employees, we have also provided a list of candidates in your state that have been supported by Koch companies or by KOCHPAC, our employee political action committee."
The list sent to workers in Oregon? All 14 politicians mentioned were Republican.
The packet also included an anti-Obama editorial by Charles Koch and a pro-Romney letter by his brother, David.
In These Times reports the package adds to an already existing culture of fear at Koch. There's a social media policy that states, in part, "Even if your social media conduct is outside of the workplace and/or non-work related, it must not reflect negatively on GP's reputation, its products, or its brands." Many have experienced the rule as a form of political censorship.
In These Times also reports that Georgia Pacific companies must seek supervisor-approval before running for local office or serving on the boards of non-profits.
Ironically, despite the protests of the people writing these memos, Obama's policies would be better for business, as Romney's proposed cuts in spending and social services would reduce aggregate demand. Look at the situation in the first link, for example. David Siegel is the boss of a real estate and time share business, and like the rest of the real estate sector, his company took a large hit in the housing / financial crash before Obama was elected. Now, they're doing better than ever:The third link wrote:In Michigan, the president of Lacks Enterprises warned his company's 2,300 employees that their paychecks will shrink if Obama is re-elected.
At a time of rampant job insecurity, workers across the country are fearful of doing anything to jeopardize their paychecks. And in a tight race, every vote counts.
Bosses have little to fear from knowingly misinforming or threatening workers during election season. Calculated and determined efforts at worker intimidation are as brazen as ever this year. Professor Ferguson notes that the waning power of unions, along with non-enforcement of laws, has emboldened employers. CEOs are feeling quite comfortable putting their intimidation efforts into writing and making them public. There is no federal election law that specifically blocks bosses from telling workers they could lose their jobs if they vote for a particular person.
If this is so, why would he tell his employees to vote for Romney? Perhaps because Ryan's proposed cutting of the capital gains tax rate to zero would eliminate nearly all of Siegel's tax obligations, netting him personally more money even if his company would not do as well as it would under Obama. Does any of this prompt you to reconsider your thoughts on the new relationship between corporate personhood and political speech?David Siegel, last week wrote:Westgate is operating at the highest profit levels in the history of the company,
That's not what happened in 2001. In 2001, the tech bubble was deflating, resulting in some economic disruption (without 9/11 and its economic fallout, it probably wouldn't have technically qualified as a recession, but it was still a major issue at the time). The government was still running a surplus, and instead of directing it toward paying off the debt as Clinton had proposed, it was decided that a tax cut would be preferable by way of stimulating the economy. However, the supply-side tax cuts in a demand-loss period of economic difficulty not only turned the surplus into a deficit, they failed to stimulate the economy. W. Bush's administration had the worst growth since Hoover's (And also the second lowest top marginal income tax rate since Hoover's. HW Bush had the lowest top rate and the second worst growth.).Rough Giraffe wrote:For the sake of argument, let's say that your suggestion of raising taxes worked. Let's say that everyone making over $500K paid roughly a 60% tax rate, which gave us a surplus in taxes. What happens when congress starts spending BEYOND the surplus, and we have a deficit again (as happened in 2001)?
Probably, and no, at least not a hard limit. The rates should reflect the circumstances of the situation at hand and the priorities of the government / society. Just to point out how remote concerns involving the downslope of the Laffer curve are, consider this: In 1942, when the top income tax rate was 88% (near its highest ever), the real GDP growth rate was 18.5% (its highest ever). The top rate was over 90% for nearly twenty years following that (initially in order to deal with the deficit and debt from WWII), and those years overall had unusually good growth by the standards of the century. Consider that all years since the Great Depression with 10% or better real annual growth had a top rate above 60%, and all but three of the years with 5% or better had a top rate of 70% or more. In the real world, not only do much higher top marginal rates than at present not impair the economy, they correlate with better growth.Rough Giraffe wrote:Are we going to raise taxes again? Should there be an upper limit for taxation?
Because in the recovery from a demand-loss recession, reducing government spending would lower aggregate demand and weaken the economy, possibly triggering a second recession, as happened in 1937 when a lot of New Deal spending was cut off. Cuts to government spending (if warranted) should come gradually after the general economy has returned to normal (which it might have already if state and local governments hadn't laid off so many of their workers).Rough Giraffe wrote:Why is your first concern not instead to reduce spending?
Sure. How about Bush's Medicare Part D, which prevents the government from negotiating prescription drug prices for Medicare patients (as it does with other medical care), resulting in a huge handout to drug companies. That alone is projected to be a major part of future budget problems. Obamacare's "cuts" to Medicare are of this type, which maintain services while reducing the cost to provide them. Similarly, Obama's efforts to reform military spending have focused on eliminating waste, increasing capabilities while keeping the overall budget rather flat (ship numbers are on the upswing, for example, after bottoming out under Bush). Regarding public schools, please recall the previously-explained economics which says that public funding is necessary, regardless of who actually operates the schools. Regarding Amtrak, it is operated separately from the government as a for-profit company already, and it operates more efficiently than any private railroad in the US. Cutting waste is not the same thing as cutting service or even spending. For example, there are policies which would reduce waste while increasing services, which have been rejected by certain Republicans.Rough Giraffe wrote:Surely there is waste in the government we can cut, or programs that can be lessened, or things that the government owns that can be sold and privatized (Amtrak, public schools, etc.)?
I don't. I'm not a Communist. Have you been paying attention what I've been saying?Rough Giraffe wrote:Why do you see government as the end-all for prosperity?
I did that to discourage you from dismissing the information out of hand. Do you agree that Colin Small was working for the Virginia and national GOP to register people to vote and in the course of his work (as a supervisor) threw out completed registration forms, that Nathan Sproul's company (and only his company) had been employed by the national GOP to register voters in swing states (until irregularities emerged in Florida) while long having a reputation for questionable practices (including televised interviews from 2004 with workers claiming to have thrown out Democratic registrations or seen their supervisor do so), or that Republicans have been evasive about their business relationships with these people and organizations? To contrast, ACORN's situation involved workers defrauding ACORN itself by submitting fake registrations, which were flagged by ACORN when they were passed to election officials (and for this, ACORN was destroyed), while this situation involved people hired by the Republican Party destroying registrations in what looks like a concerted effort (which may result in the people whose registrations were destroyed being unable to vote this year). Can you reconcile your past thoughts on ACORN with your current thoughts on this case?Rough Giraffe wrote:Furthermore, you touched on alleged GOP voter fraud. First, three of the links you posted there relate to the same event---no need to post multiple links of the same story.
Rather, that is one former Democrat (Artur Davis, who is now a Republican) baldly asserting that it is so.Rough Giraffe wrote:Second, are you just going to ignore the fact that Democrats have publicly admitted that voter fraud is a common political strategy?
Which discusses a single case where a person with dual-state residence voted in both states, whose candidacy was suspended when the Maryland Democratic Party discovered and reported it. Relatively few people maintain residences in multiple states, and neither voter ID nor registration laws would catch this sort of thing.Rough Giraffe wrote:And it's not
Which is a style of fraud similar to what I pointed out that Republicans are doing, a kind which would not be caught by ID or registration laws. Note the differences with the Republican case though. Here, a single candidate and his dad hired two guys to tilt a local election (in a place where no Republicans even run) in the candidate's favor. In the Republican case, the national and many state parties hired companies which apparently did this on a rather large scale in multiple elections over years.Rough Giraffe wrote:just
Which is a video of a staged entrapment situation like the debunked ACORN video (which was by the same guy, James O'Keefe) in which no illegal activity actually took place.Rough Giraffe wrote:the
Do you think he was going up to voters and giving them unsolicited advice on how to commit fraud, and do you think that any fraud actually took place there besides what O'Keefe was doing?The guy in the video wrote:At no point did I take this person seriously. He struck me as being unstable and joking, and for only that reason did I humor him.
The people involved there voted once with an absentee / early ballot and then again normally on election day, and were caught by the election board when it processed things. Contrary to the statements by Republicans in your link, voter ID laws would not have prevented those cases.Rough Giraffe wrote:one either.
That's another James O'Keefe production. It's only a big problem if a lot of people are actually doing this sort of thing, and since people like O'Keefe and other Republicans would be pointing them out if they were (and people whose names had been used fraudulently would notice something), let's go with the studies like this one which found only ten such cases nationwide in the last twelve years. It's a tiny, tiny problem so rare as to be nonexistent for most practical purposes.Rough Giraffe wrote:It's a pretty big problem, despite what Eric Holder publicly tells us.
I covered some of those examples specifically above, but I think that a commenter there said it nicely:Rough Giraffe wrote:And then there are the flippant excuses the Democrats make about Voter ID,
Also relevant for number 7: Buying votes? Voter ID laws wouldn't stop this.goreshade wrote:It's sad to see standards in critical thinking have gotten so low.
1. If a "well prepared team of say a dozen operatives could literally go from polling place to polling place and cast HUNDREDS of fraudulent votes" then hundreds of real voters would show up and be told they had already voted. This just doesn't happen en masse, which is why poll workers aren't that vigilant to stop it.
2.They had ID's. Voter Id laws wouldn't stop this.
3. Not an ID issue, but a voting roll issue. Voter Id laws wouldn't stop this.
4. Also not an ID issue, but a voting roll issue. Voter Id laws wouldn't stop this.
5. Absentee ballots? Voter Id laws wouldn't stop this.
6. Absentee ballots? Voter Id laws wouldn't stop this.
7. 52 years ago?
Because of things like this. Some of the proposals for voter IDs require supporting documentation that costs more to procure than the old-time poll taxes. Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai said that voter ID would let Romney win Pennsylvania. Since the fraud that voter IDs would prevent is vanishingly rare (which has been acknowledged in court by the state), how do you think that was supposed to work? The problem isn't voter ID laws per se, it's voter ID laws designed to statistically skew the electorate. It wouldn't be an issue if, say, the state proactively provided IDs to everyone free of charge. The states with laws like that aren't having them overturned in court.Rough Giraffe wrote:among them that minorities would be disenfranchised because they can't get IDs like White people can. Well, why not? After all, you don't need to be able to drive to get a photo ID, you just have to be able to ride the bus and walk a few hundred feet, fill out a form and wait a little while.
See? Poll taxes aren't really bad, since if people really cared about voting accountability, they could hold fundraisers to make sure that people weren't disenfranchised. Too bad the courts don't agree. Seriously though, if a third party can buy lots of voter IDs on its own, how is such an ID system supposed to prevent fraud?Rough Giraffe wrote:And if they're so concerned about it, why can't they, as their elected representatives, start a fundraiser or effort to get them IDs? They could get everyone an ID in the span of a week or two and have them mailed to their place of residence. Why don't they? Answer: Because they don't really care and they want people to be able to vote without any accountability.
Because that is not at all comparable to your own misunderstandings of Obama's or other policies, and it has some bearing on the discussion so far?Rough Giraffe wrote:One more thing: Here's something surprising that I found just a few minutes ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skw-0jv9kts
Q.U. wrote:Does anyone else get the feeling that when the GOP was still picking its candidate they thought "this is still going to be years of recession, so let the democrat stay in charge and then once the country starts turning back we go back in and take the credit", and so picked Romney and Ryan as another "fail team" after McCain and Palin failed as a "somewhat try to win team"? (Because I don't think they actually believed that they could win by appealing to the complete extreme of the right political spectrum). And then once they realised that the USA has a predicted GDP growth to reach back into about 3% in the next years (which is the best among all the developed western countries) they suddenly got scared they wouldn't get to have the credit for it and launched a massive all-front panic attack on the Obama campaign to try and save their asses? Because I really did feel like in the previous months they haven't even been trying up until like one, or one and a half of month ago.
Rumor has it that more credible candidates like Christie may be aiming for a 2016 bid. But it was never the plan to make it easy for Obama, what with the Congressional goal of making him single-term by way of obstruction. Romney may not be a very good candidate, but the rest of the primary field was worse. Except maybe Cain, who would have been awesome.NeoWarrior7 wrote:Nah, pretty sure it's that only the shitty ones ran in the primaries since defeating an incumbent is a bitch, and you only get one shot.
Q.U.'s and Mir@k's illustrations covered the basic situation, but here is some real-world information expressing the same idea.Rough Giraffe wrote:That's an interesting perspective, however let me ask you this, in all seriousness:
What is the difference between the start of Obama's term and now?
Romney was not much involved in conventional business. Rather, his expertise at Bain was more about leveraged buyouts (colloquially called vulture capitalism). You might find what Reagan's budget director has to say about that rather surprising (it's long, but please have a careful look). And it is indeed a question of which candidate would be better for the country. Have you been paying attention to what I have actually been saying on that matter? Do you think that GM and Chrysler said this because Romney is a Republican businessman? Did you notice how Romney pivots from previous statements as soon as they become inconvenient and how Christie reversed his appraisal of Obama when effective federal services suddenly became of critical importance?Rough Giraffe wrote:You might think of it as more of a longshot, but from my perspective, the choice is between a known successful businessman that you hate for little reason besides that he is a businessman and a Republican, and a well-spoken politician that you like because he promises free stuff at the expense of those who have more stuff. In other words, the real question at hand is: which option is best for the country as a whole?
If you prefer that measure of the economy, fine, but it's a different measure, not a more accurate one. U6 usually aligns closely with trends in U3 while being about 75% higher*. Both have been declining since late 2009, and are now 2-3% below their peaks.Rough Giraffe wrote:@Sentios: Glad to see you have found a job. It's pretty odd that you're complaining about the hours, however, during a time when something like 23 million people can't find a job.
Jobs: Sure, the "official" unemployment rate has gone back down. But as we all know, that number does not account for people who were previously counted but stopped looking for work, and so are no longer counted. I prefer to use the U6 unemployment rate when I discuss these things, which usually paints a much more accurate picture.
*The scaling on the graphs makes this pretty clear if you open both links in different tabs and flip back and forth.
Obama may not be perfect, but do you think (with evidential support) that Romney's proposed policies are better in any way in these areas?Rough Giraffe wrote:Health care:
Education: ...
Rather, that's what one economist (David Malpass, a Republican who works for the Wall Street Journal and who ran his own Republican PAC) says, which is repeated there along with a generous helping of statistics by an employee of a "free market" think tank. Let's look at what a more evidence-based organization has to say.Rough Giraffe wrote:Also, economists say that we could be seeing another recession, which could compound an already bad problem.
O RLY?Rough Giraffe wrote:He's been doing next to nothing to actually solve anything,
Says who? Because the organization responsible for keeping track of such things says that it worked.Rough Giraffe wrote:and the stimulus package was supposed to help but apparently didn't.
And who do you think has been rubbing salt in the wound?Rough Giraffe wrote:Not fixed. Patched. The wound is still bleeding and it might get infected.
But that's sometimes harder to do than picking up hours. And yes, Americans tend to trade leisure for work and suffer in some ways for that, but to the extent that workers choose to do that, I think that they should be allowed to. Note that the European situations mentioned in your links don't have hard caps on work hours, but instead use incentives to discourage overwork, like requiring that employers give part-time employees the same wage, benefits, and opportunities as full-time employees. And providing a more substantial social safety net, which reduces the need for building up emergency cash reserves.Sentios wrote:Only in the sense that they couldn't just put in more time in on the job, they could still earn more by pursuing a better paying job. Consider it incentive to improve to improve job skills. It would have to be implemented smartly, but it's not like there's no incentives beyond tackling unemployment to the idea.Valhallen wrote:Keep in mind that a cap on work hours would also be a cap on how much employees can work and earn.
The original (rather longer) report was from Buzzfeed.Q.U. wrote:I would love to take those news reports seriously, but the glaring grammar mistakes are getting in the way. This site's editorials ooze such pure professionalism from every pore.

Boston wrote:How An iPad Got A Guy Placed On The No-Fly List
http://jalopnik.com/5672809/how-an-ipad ... o+fly-list
The plane had just landed, but he was ready to take off.
A JetBlue flight attendant blew his top, grabbed some beer and bolted out an emergency slide at Kennedy Airport Monday - then headed home to have sex with his boyfriend.
After he was bonked in the head by a bag, Steven Slater stunned passengers by spewing profanity and ranting about quitting as the flight from Pittsburgh pulled up to the gate about noon.
"To the f-----g a--hole who told me to f--k off, it's been a good 28 years," Slater, 38, purred, cops said. "I've had it. That's it," he added, a passenger said.
The mad-as-hell steward grabbed a couple of brewskis and popped one open before activating the emergency exit, witnesses told airport employees.
After tossing his two carry-on bags on the slide, he followed them to the tarmac.
Slater - who actually first started working for airlines 20 years ago, not 28 - then walked to the AirTrain, stripped off his company tie and flung it off as bemused passengers watched.
"I wish we could all quit our jobs like that," said passenger Phil Catelinet, 36, of Brooklyn, who was on the flight and the AirTrain.
"He seemed kind of happy about it. He was like, 'I just quit my job.' "
Port Authority police said it took jetBlue 25 minutes to report the incident, allowing Slater time to leave the scene.
Cops found him in bed with his boyfriend when they arrived to arrest him at a beachfront home in the Rockaways with a porch overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, sources said.
He boasted to skeptical cops that he really did escape by chute with his carry-on luggage.
"Oh, yes, I did! I threw them down first and I went down after," he told cops, sources said.
He was grinning as police walked him in handcuffs to a squad car. "He left with a big smile on his face," said neighbor Curt Karkowski.
Slater was wearing a sheepish smile when Port Authority detectives walked him to a waiting van a few hours later. He was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.
JetBlue would not say how long Slater had worked for the airline, but he wrote on his MySpace page that he was "enjoying being back in the skies" after a five-year break.
"I love to max it out with trips around the world, sometimes on a moment's notice!" he gushed.
Neighbors described Slater as a nice guy, but said he was under some stress. "Steven's mother is dying," said Judy Rochelle, whose son Kenny lives with Slater. "She has lung cancer. She's had two chemos and the prognosis is not good. They were on their way out to California this weekend to settle her affairs."

We haven't worked the birds on the piece yet as we had questions about some of the detailing and were awaiting my trip to examine the EG piece closer. The birds on the EG piece are in yellows and greens with blue beak and feet. The jacket has red, green, pink and yellow as the color scheme. But the left over silk that had degraded from the beaks and feet were in a tan color.
The one bird on the EG panel has a complete set of feet and beak. I was happy to find a combination of reverse chain and stem stitch on the feet and a heavy ceylon for the beak. All set, I thought. But when I saw the jacket the next day, there was a beak on one bird. Worked in trellis stitch. The legs were a little different too. Reverse chain and satin stitch at the top to help give the impression of a thigh.
Another thing I noted was the use of the blended thread for the motifs. It shows up in the bird to make transitions between the stripes of color in the body and head. The body is worked in trellis
and the head in spiral trellis. The wings were another spot where we had questions. The wings are made of of segments of stitches worked in different colors of silk and silver gilt thread. The segments are outlined in black. Two birds were worked with heavy chain and ceylon, but the third had more variety with plaited braid and a fly stitch thrown in.
On the EG panel, the wings segments were worked with plaited braid and heavy twisted chain all in silver gilt and silver threads. It is interesting to see how the same overall scheme is used on both pieces and motif to motif but there are slight variations. I am not sure if this is hand differences or just bored embroiderers. The black outline seems to be a combination of stem stitch and reverse chain. Hard to tell if one or both were used as the black thread gets brittle and pieces snap away, leaving just holes in many areas.
To give you some eye candy – here you see the time trial piece I stitched from the book photos of the jacket. From afar, the stitches on the bird wings appeared to be the braid stitch/knot stitch. Now we know it is different. For all of you who slaved over learning this stitch in the sample kit, sorry!

The college IVews VOL. XL, NO. 10 ARDMORE and BRYN MA^R, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1943 Copyright, ' rulici of Brvr. Mawr Coll-.�. IMS PRICE 10 CENTS MacKinnon Notes Psychological Role Of War in Society Rate of Neuroticism Lower Among Civilian Population Than Military Goodhart, November 30. Psy- chological effects of the war upon civilian and military personnel were discussed by Mr. MacKinnon in the War Alliance Assembly on "War, Sanity, and Society." Com- paring war neurosis in the two world wars, he commented also upon psychological changes in the attitude of enlisted men. Among civilians really living under the strain of war, such as the citizens of bombed English cit- ies, the number of cases of war neurosis is extremely low. Civil- ians stand up well under the im- pact of total war. Many who have previously been neurotic lose sym- toms of neurosis under the respon- sibilities of wartime conditions. Mr. MacKinnon said that this ci- vilian reaction "is something more than a tribute to the way in which human nature meets adversity. It is a sad commentary on the extent to which in modern competitive society the frustrations of peace may be more difficult to bear than the traumatic experiences of war." Sharing Responsibilities In cities under attack many ci- vilians began for the first time to feel themselves an important part of a group. Sharing with others in the same shelter the responsibil- ity of surviving an attack, some people for the first time found themselves a necessary part of so- ciety. Also the responsibility of doing civilian air raid service sat- isfied in many cases the desire to be of some social value. "There is no reason why we can- not order our society so that these satisfactions can be experienced in peace as in war," stated Mr. Mac- Conlinued on Page 3 Limp Ties and Varied Accents to Portray Emotional Intensity in Players' Production Hildreth Dunn, '44 Letters in a girls' boarding school, war in a girls' boarding school; and how they fight it out in "Letters to Lucerne"! "We're all little beasts," said one of the actresses as she mounted the stage, picked up her rag doll and prepared to do battle. Goodhart's empty auditorium has witnessed the rehearsals a number of times, and will again before the Friday and Saturday night performances. The school's inmates are of all nationalities, and the plot centers on one of six girls, head mistress- es, spies and rumors thereof and scenes of high emotional intensity. Someone crashes down the stairs (intentional and headfirst), the fleeting 'great lover' wears Tyrol- ean suspenders, and Mr. Nusbaum says grimly: "The chairs are tac- ky, all of them." French is tossed off at each crisis, a letter is "not to be read, for the love of God!" and a Haverford player is care- fully instructed that the ribbon for his tie must be thoroughly walked over to make it suitable. The play presents the problem of this heterogeneous group of school-girls, as they turn against their former friend and leader be- cause of her German birth. There are a variety of accents, neatly managed. The alienated German girl found her, solution. As she explained to us, "I don't attempt a German one, I just stress the line that says I had an English gover- ness." Vocational Speakers Will Talk on Medicine A Vocational Conference on] Medicine and Public Health will be given on Wednesday, December 8th at 7:30 in the Common Room. This is the first of a series of five, arranged by the Vocational Com- mittee of the undergraduate As- sociation. Major Margaret Craighill, U. S. Army Medical Corps will speak on medicine. A graduate of Johns Hopkins and dean of the Women's Medical College in Pennsylvania and practising physician in Con- necticut, she is now working in the Surgeon General's Office in Washington. Dr. Harriet Hartley, head of the Division of Child Hygiene of Pub- lic Health in Philadelphia and head of the Department of Pre- ventative Medicine in Public Health at Temple University, Pennsylva- nia will lecture on Public Health. The speakers will describe the requirements, training and types of work open in their fields. Invi- tations to the lecture are being sent to those who indicated their interest in these fields upon the vocational cards distributed ear- lier in the year, but all who wish to attend are welcome. The next vocational lecture will be given in February. Miller and Anderson Analyze Newspapers Periodical Room, November 29 and 30. The development and characteristics of modem journal- ism and the interpretation of ec- onomic news reports were the subjects of lectures by Mr. Miller and Mrs. Anderson, comprising the first half of the four-day news- paper course, a Study of the Press. "To understand the newspapers of today, we must go back to the 'yellow journalism' of the days of Pulitzer and Hearst," declared Mr. Miller. This new development in newspaper technique, which flourished from 1892 until 1914, caused a radical change in Amer- ican journalism. Crusades for the benefit of the "Common Man" and organized social welfare drives began to play an important part in the news printed in this period. Accom- panying this interest in the work- ing classes was an attempt to pop- ularize the papers, done through extravagant use of large type, sensational headlines seldom jus- tified by the report, and the inclu- sion of crime and human interest stories. Although conservatism has again seized the newspapers, the era of 'yellow journalism', said Mr. Miller, has left several remnants in the papers of today, notably the Sunday supplement and the Woman's Page. Nearly simultaneous with the development of 'yellow journal- ism' was the beginning of the modern press associations � the Associated Press and the Interna- tional News Service. While these news services facilitate speedy and efficient gathering of the news, Mr. Miller pointed out that there i3 always the danger of monopoly as was the case with the Associated Press in the days prior to its re- Continued on Page i In the quieter moments of the rehearsal, the director battles with his players over what length skirt is manageable, what heels are heels, etc. "God help all poor children" he mutters as the curtain goes up late. Maybe it's a line in the play. Our favorite was: "I might have known a man wouldn't come to a girl's school to see his sister!" We deduced that that was where the trouble started. In the sparse minutes of relax- ation for the players, the stage crew takes over. Substitutes for properties are one of their main specialties, while panelling half the scenery takes up the rest of their time. There is to be "gen- eral illumination" on the first and third acts, we hear, but the second will have its compensations. Delegates of Alumnae From Seven Colleges Meet at Bryn Mawr The Seven College Conference will hold its bi-annual meeting at Bryn Mawr on December 2 and 3. Representatives of the alumnae organizations of Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley will be present. The main topic of discussion will be the new National Scholar- ship Plan. The alumnae groups, who play a large part in the se- lection of scholarship students, will consider their plans for the distribution of scholarship awards at this meeting. The rest of the j meeting, which will be held in the Alumnae Room of the Deanery, will be concerned with other al- umnae business. Members of the conference, who include the presidents and execu- tive secretaries of the alumnae organizations, will be entertained by various members of the Fac- ulty. Miss McBride will give a dinner party and Mrs. Ghadwick- Collins is planning a tea. Mrs. Robert Lewis, President of the Bryn Mawr alumnae, will be hos- tess at a luncheon. Calendar Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3-4 Letters to Lucerne presented by Bryn Mawr Varsity Play- ers arid Haverford Cap and Bells Clubs, Goodhart, 8:45. Sunday, Dec/5 Art Club Exhibit, Common Room, 4-6 Chapel Service by Rev. Me- serve, Music Room, 7:30. Tuesday, Dec. 7 Spanish Christmas Play, Rad- nor, 8:00. Wednesday, Dec. 8 Alexander H. Frey on Region- al War Labor Board, Good- hart, 12:30. Vocational Conference: Ma- jor Craighill and Dr. Hart- ley, Common Room, 7:30. Community Center Group: Mrs. Appel, Common Room, 8^0. Spanish Club to Give Gay Comedy as Part Of Christmas Fiesta The Spanish Club's first Christ- mas play will be distinguished by a humorous plot. Instead of pre- senting the Nativity scenes which are usually given in the language houses, the Spanish House in Rad- nor will start off the traditional series of performances with a Christmas fiesta on Tuesday, De- cember 7, at 8:00. The play, La Cueva de Salamanca, is only one attraction of the general party to which everyone is invited, wheth- er they speak Spanish or not. The evening will be a faithful repre- sentation of the traditional Christ- mas eve festivities in Spain. Virginia Lee Nixon, '44 is in charge of the play, with Miss Nepper and Miss Zuleta directing. Pancracio will be played by Chloe Walker, '45, and his wife, Leonar- da, by Marguerite Frost, '46. The role of Christina, the maid, will be acted by Mickey Malaret, '46, while Alison Merrill, '45, will take the part of the village barber. Bobby Eggert, '45, will appear as the sacristan, Barrie Zimmelman, '46, as the student of Salamanca, Continued on Page 4 Glorified Showcases, Hollywood's Pern *4rch, Filmed in 'Our Hearts Were Young and Gay' By Mary Virginia More, '45 Bryn Mawr has hit the screen at last! In the film version of "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay," Emily Kimbrough and Cor- nelia Otis Skinner, co-authoresses of the book, are shown when" stud- ents at Bryn Mawr, class of '23. Miss Kimbrough, technical adviser for the film, when interviewed, de- scribed incidents connected with the production. The action starts at Bryn Mawr, a Bryn Mawr realistically por- trayed � show-cases, Pembroke Arch, Gym, hoops and lanterns, College News and all. If the show cases are rather glorified, if Pem- broke Arch is just a permanent Hollywood stand-by, and if the Gym is really that of the YMCA in Los Angeles, who is to know the difference? The 1923 Bryn Mawr girls' main concern in life was to acquire a "line". Without one, life offered no possibilities, and for one she was willing to dish out her last cent in lessons. "Emily" and "Cor- nelia" decide that to acquire real sophistication, they must go abroad�where they might come into contact with men! (Especially older men . . . even Frenchmen!). Plunging into a description of some of the difficulties encounter- ed due to the necessarily restrict- ed form of film writing, Miss Kim- brough stressed the small frames in which action must be enclosed. Also so much more detail is nec- essary in a film than in a book that in order to condense the story to the time allotted, every scene portrayed must be essential to the nipt. Due to technical difficulties, some episodes from the book had to be omitted, among these, that .of Jie deck tennis game. Instead, two young English girls come to Emily on the deck and ask her to join the ship's pool. Emily is charmed and delighted and goes below to don a bathing suit, hav- ing successfully misinterpreted the word "pool". Simultaneously, a life boat drill is anounced, and Emily has to go up, clad as is. As technical director, Miss Kim- brough spent much time scanning Continued on Page 4 Alexander H. Frey Will Speak About War Labor Board Fourth War Alliance Assembly Presents Acting Authority On Labor Dr. Alexander H. Frey, Vice- Chairman of the Regional War Labor Board of Philadelphia, will speak about the National War La- bor Board, its general philosophy, and how it works, at the fourth War Alliance assembly on Wednes- day, December 8, at 12.30. In recent years Dr. /l?rey has served on several Minimum Wage Boards. He was chairman of the board for hotel industry, and of the committee on jewelry, as well as a member of the committees for the rubber industry and for the passenger and property motor carrier industries. He has fre- quently acted as arbitrator of la- bor disputes. Professor Dr. Frey was assistant profess- or in the law school of Yale Uni- versity, and a visiting professor at Columbia and Duke Universi- ties, and has, since 1932, been a professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He has been chairman of the Phila- delphia Good Neighbor League, and the Philadelphia Civil Liberties .Committee, and is a member of numerous law and bar associa- tions. He is the author of several books and articles on legal sub- jects. A student in Columbia Univer- sity from 1915 to 1917, he is a graduate of Yale Law School, where he received his doctorate in law in 1925. He spent the two years from 1921 to 1923 in gradu- ate study at Oxford University, holding, during that time, a fel- lowship from the Carnegie En- dowment for International Peace. A short time later, the Social Science Research Council awarded him a fellowship.

Major Jewish philanthropist creates investigative journalism nonprofit
October 17, 2007 | 2:46 pm
Now there's a headline with a lot of words I like. ProPublica could be a godsend that fills the investigative-journalism gap left by massive budget cuts. Or it could be a way for creator and chairman Herbert Sandler to shape the news. Sandler, who last year he donated $500 million to various causes, mostly non-Jewish, gets a mention in a story I have in tomorrow's Jewish Journal about the new world of Jewish philanthropy. More on that later.

Number of contracts traded
18.5 bn +8.9%
The growth in number of contracts traded is mostly due to the growth of volumes of stock index options and futures, as well as ETF options, confirming the trend observed in 2010.
Given the high volatility of markets in 2011, this increase in derivatives volumes seems logical as hedging needs were probably driven upwards by volatility. The relative preference for indices or ETFs underlyings compared to single stocks could also be interpreted similarly. Interest rates derivatives confirmed the rebound observed in 2010 and continued to grow in 2011 despite factors generically seen as unfavorable (low interest rates environments, no economic growth and credit expansion) in certain regions.

Energy Star
Proposed LED Street Light Energy Star Criteria Promote Dark Skies In a breakthrough cooperative move toward the protection of dark skies, specifications calling for full shielding of solid state lighting (LED) luminaire street lights were included in the proposed criteria for the federal efficiency program Energy Star. If passed, the pending requirements, released on August 20, 2008 by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), will have a major impact on the design and marketability of all future LED street lights. These criteria are the result of input gathered at a series of DOE sponsored workshops held in Phoenix, AZ; Atlanta, GA; and most recently in Portland, OR in July. During his participation in the workshops, IDA Technical Advisor Pete Strasser spoke repeatedly with DOE officials to emphasize the necessity of the fully shielded nature of luminaire design.
Possible inclusion of full shielding in Energy Star standards is one of the items requested in the open letter to the EPA, signed by members of the US House of Representatives at IDA's recent Congressional briefing. Energy Star's consideration of this standard for LED street lights signals official recognition of the environmentally positive capabilities of fully shielded light fixtures and helps to ensure that future public LED fixtures will be both energy efficient and dark sky friendly. "It is encouraging to see that the DOE recognizes lumen distribution as part of a luminaire's efficiency, not just lumens per watt," stated IDA Technical Advisor Scott Davis. The proposed efficiency measure is an important victory for dark skies everywhere. The Next Step The pending Energy Star requirements are a breakthrough in federal cooperation for the protection of dark skies. However, due to the rapid rate of breakthroughs in LED technology, Energy Star efficiency criteria has already been met, and in some cases exceeded. The formalization of LED requirements has been postponed indefinitely in order for standards-making bodies to achieve the most accurate and stringent expectations possible to create optimal efficiency goals in the final version of Energy Star standards. In accordance with government policy, the proposed standards will undergo a 60-day public review before they are officially adopted as 2009 Energy Star criteria. Thank you for helping IDA save both energy and starscapes by encouraging the DOE to confirm this breakthrough efficiency requirement. Your comments to Energy Star have been entered into the public record and will have an impact on the final criteria. See sample e-mails from dark sky advocates. Communications by IDA supporters have had a tremendous impact in gaining attention and support for past endeavors. Please let Energy Star know that you strongly favor the acceptance of the LED criteria for full shielding of street lights. Thank you again for your strong commitment to dark skies. About Energy Star Energy Star is the most widely recognized energy efficiency program in America. It was started in 1992 as a cooperative effort between the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency to save money and reduce environmental impact through energy efficient products and practices. This federal program has developed important partnerships in residences and businesses alike. According to the Energy Star Web site, "Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2007 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 27 million cars — all while saving $16 billion on their utility bills."

An official statistician reading the proposal of the Open Working Group (OWG) for Sustainable Development Goals might have two simultaneous reactions: doubt and excitement. The proposal that the UN General Assembly's 30-member OWG forwarded to the Assembly on 19 July 2014 contains 17 goals with 169 targets covering a broad range of sustainable development issues, including ending poverty and hunger, improving health and education, making cities more sustainable, combating climate change, and protecting oceans and forests.
This note reviews the emerging imbalances in the Chinese economy and the attendant need for structural reforms, including financial sector and services liberalization.
