We live in a world that constantly seeks counsel of one kind or another for the answer to every difficulty. The church is uniquely positioned and gifted to offer counsel to struggling people. For the most part, the church has abdicated its responsibility to offer counsel and passed hurting people off to professional psychologists and psychotherapists.
Believing that God's Word is sufficient for the counseling task, we offer a training program designed to equip believers to minister Scripture to hurting people in a way that offers both encouraging hope and life-changing help. The program consists of three Phases of training completed through the satisfaction of seven individual courses. The successful completion of all three levels leads to a certification in biblical counseling.
Student Practicum, limited to the first 30 college level students who register, is 1:00 p.m. Thursday, February 26th, to 4:30 p.m. Friday, February 27th.
The main conference begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday, February 27th and concludes at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, March 1st.
The Southwestern Photojournalism Conference is for those who believe photojournalism is a calling and the act of bearing witness of the Gospel to be important.

Presenters are among the finest in this field. NOTE: The Student Practicum, Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon, is limited to 30 college level students who are also registering for the main, weekend conference. Participants in the Student Practicum will be accepted on a first come basis. The main conference begins Friday evening and runs through Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.

Knock knees is a condition in which the knees touch, but the ankles do not touch. The legs turn inward.
Genu valgum
Infants start out with bowlegs because of their folded position while in their mother's womb. The legs begin to straighten once the child starts to walk (at about 12 to 18 months). By age 3, the child becomes knock-kneed. When the child stands, the knees touch but the ankles are apart.
By puberty, the legs straighten out and most children can stand with the knees and ankles touching (without forcing the position).
Knock knees can also develop as a result of a medical problem or disease, such as:
A doctor or nurse will examine your child. If there are signs that knock knees are not a part of normal development, tests will be done.
Knock knees are usually not treated.
If the problem continues after age 7, the child may use a night brace. This brace is attached to a shoe.
Surgery may be considered for knock knees that are severe and continue beyond late childhood.
Children normally outgrow knock knees without treatment, unless it is caused by a disease.
If surgery is needed, the results are usually good.
Call your health care provider for an appointment if you think your child has knock knees.
There is no known prevention for normal knock knees.

Scoliosis is an abnormal curving of the spine. Your spine is your backbone. It runs straight down your back. Everyone's spine naturally curves a bit. But people with scoliosis have a spine that curves too much. The spine might look like the letter C or S.
Spinal curvature; Infantile scoliosis; Juvenile scoliosis
Most of the time, the cause of scoliosis is unknown. This is called idiopathic scoliosis. It is the most common type. It is grouped by age.
Scoliosis most often affects girls. Some people are more likely to have curving of the spine. Curving generally gets worse during a growth spurt.
Other types of scoliosis are:
Usually there are no symptoms.
If there are symptoms, they may include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. You will be asked to bend forward. This makes your spine easier to see. It may be hard to see changes in the early stages of scoliosis.
The exam may show:
X-rays of the spine are done. X-rays are important because the actual curving of the spine may be worse than what your doctor can see during an exam.
Other tests may include:
Treatment depends on many things:
Most people with idiopathic scoliosis do not need treatment. But you should still be checked by a doctor about every 6 months.
If you are still growing, your doctor might recommend a back brace. A back brace prevents further curving. There are many different types of braces. What kind you get depends on the size and location of your curve. Your health care provider will pick the best one for you and show you how to use it. Back braces can be adjusted as you grow.
Back braces work best in people over age 10. Braces do not work for those with congenital or neuromuscular scoliosis.
Sometimes, surgery is needed:
After surgery, you may need to wear a brace for a while to keep the spine still.
You may need surgery if the spine curve is severe or getting worse very quickly. The surgeon may want to wait until all your bones stop growing, but this is not always possible.
Scoliosis treatment may also include:
Seek support and more information from organizations that specialize in scoliosis .
How well a person with scoliosis does depends on the type, cause, and severity of the curve. The more severe the curving, the more likely it will get worse after the child stops growing.
People with mild scoliosis do well with braces. They usually do not have long-term problems. Back pain may be more likely when the person gets older.
Outlook for those with neuromuscular or congenital scoliosis varies. They may have another serious disorder such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, so their goals are much different. Often the goal of surgery is simply to allow a child to be able to sit upright in a wheelchair.
Congenital scoliosis is difficult to treat and usually requires many surgeries.
Complications of scoliosis can include:
Call your health care provider if you suspect your child may have scoliosis.
Routine scoliosis screening is now done in middle schools.
Such screening has helped detect early scoliosis in many children.

Gray Vintage Chandelier
Vintage Find is Fabulous
I was looking for something that was unique and this chandelier is just right. It feels well aged and is a wonderful taupe/gray color that goes with anything and does not detract from the room. It's simple, but the leafing on it keeps it from being boring. I like it so much, now I'm going to paint my dining chairs to go with it!
January 24, 2013
Beautiful chandelier with the ugliest black cord
The chandelier itself is beautiful--a lot lighter (but not white) than the picture shows. Great value for the money. I was looking for a wooden, vintage-style chandelier and I got that. What I also got, unfortunately, is the most obnoxious black cord running down the chain. Why they used a black cord and not a clear one is beyond me. I'm going to wrap the chain and cord in some burlap ribbon to cover it...hopefully that will look ok.
June 12, 2013
Gorgeous but a few caveats
I absolutely love this chandelier--it looks wonderful in my eclectic dining room. The shape is beautiful and I love the distressed finish--it really does look like a weathered vintage piece.
A few important things to note though before you purchase: first, it is a warmer, browner grey than shown in the pictures--honestly I think it's almost more of a taupe color. This worked out fine with my decor but if you are looking for a cool grey with blue undertones this will disappoint you. Second, some of the candle cups have ugly wattage stickers on them that can't be left on without ruining the look, but taking them off pulls the paint off. Luckily I had a little chalk paint on hand that worked fine to fix the issue but just be aware that you might need a bit of touch-up paint to make it look right.
June 8, 2013
Looks fabulous and luxurious
I have been looking for a long time for a chandelier for my dining room in this style and they were all very pricey until I found this one. My rating for Meets Expectations was not "excellent" because there was no mention of wattage on the website which necessitated having to drive 15 miles one way to the store to find out that this chandelier has a 25 watt maximum for each arm. This means that total wattage is 125 watts - not enough for a large dining room. The beauty and look of this chandelier took precedence for me vs. wattage, so I will be using 9 watt CFL soft white (equivalent to 40 watt incandescent bulbs) candelabra bulbs instead. I cannot overstate the classic, elegant, and old-world look of this lighting fixture. It looks even more beautiful in person.
May 29, 2013
Just the right piece!
After looking at dozens of chandeliers online and in local stores, I chose this one for it's combination of style and value. Out of the box, the fixture is more heavily distressed than it seemed to appear in the pictures. After I've lived with it awhile in this condition I might decide to glaze it so it won't be quite so beat up looking.
The chandelier reminds me of a salvage shop piece which has been left raw and updated with modern wiring. This architectural salvage look is really popular right now, but be sure to zoom in on the photos before ordering.
April 8, 2013
This is a lovely piece with great style, the quality is just not that great.
Beautiful style and color, but the actual quality is not that great. The paint comes off the candles when you remove the stickers. The center part of mine is crooked. My electrician attempted to correct it, but didn't have much luck. I would have probably returned it, but we realized it when he was there hanging it. Anyway, I think you get what you pay for.

Why does my Sound Grabber have a low signal level? |
[Paraphrased for brevity] I am using a Sound Grabber into an Azden WM-PRO transmitter, but the signal level is very low.
Mike Sparkes Reply: That Azden transmitter is made to work only with mics that are designed to be powered from the transmitter. According to Azden, the WM-PRO mic input is tip-sleeve. DC and the mic hot signal are on the tip. Impedance is 600 ohms. To fix the problem, construct an adapter as follows: 1. Solder a 4.7 microfarad electrolytic capacitor between the hot terminals of a 1/8" phone jack and a 1/8" phone plug. Put the Plus side of the capacitor toward the phone plug. 2. Wire the jack ground to the plug ground. 3. Plug the Sound Grabber into the adapter phone jack. 4. Plug the adapter phone plug into the transmitter. The capacitor will block the DC from the transmitter so the mic should work. However, the 600-ohm input impedance of the transmitter will load down the Sound Grabber so it may not have much bass. Use the battery inside the Sound Grabber to power it. |

Few porn performers have ever chosen a name that suits them better than Dolce fits Dolce Damoan. Dolce means sweet soft music, like the slow mesmerizing rhythms of her tongue lapping against the shaft of your dick. The melody of her mouth as she slurps and sucks from head to hilt. As if the conductor of the whole orchestra had called for it, a crescendo of cum strewn on her pretty black face for all the world to enjoy. What a dolce darling Ms. Damoan has turned out to be!

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I do not understand my Nottingham score of 9, or the histologic grade of III/III.
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:
The Nottingham histologic score is simply a scoring system to assess the "grade" of breast cancers.
It is a total score based on 3 different sub-scores. The 3 sub-scores are assigned based on 3 components of how the breast cancer cells look under a microscope. (The details of these 3 components are not critical for you to understand). Each of the 3 components is assigned a sub-score of 1, 2, or 3, with 1 being best and 3 being worst. Once the 3 sub-scores are added, a Nottingham score is obtained: the minimum score possible is 3 (1+1+1) and the maximum possible is 9 (3+3+3).
A histologic grade of III is assigned to any patient with a Nottingham score of 8 or 9. Grade I refers to Nottingham scores of 3, 4, and 5, while Grade II refers to Nottingham scores of 6 and 7.
In the end, the Nottingham score and histologic grades are not very useful in the big picture, as they do not alter final overall treatment recommendations. High-score cancers tend to relapse more often than low-score cancers. Ultimately, however, we don't use the score in making clinical decisions.
Aug 18, 2010 - The addition of progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 to the Nottingham Prognostic Index in the classification of patients with primary operable breast cancer results in improved five-year prognostic accuracy, according to a study published online Aug. 16 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Human resource management at the UN is a key element of its global strategy. In 2008, the General Assembly therefore embarked on an effective reform of the human resource management policies of the Secretariat and certain entities covered by the United Nations common system, through its resolutions 63/250, 65/247 and 65/248.
The main objective of the reform is to build a global, dynamic and adaptable workforce in order to ensure that the organization is as efficient as possible. Among the specific HR initiatives that have been introduced in response to the General Assembly's requests, the Secretariat has implemented or proposed initiatives in the following major areas.
In its resolution 63/250, the General Assembly approved new contractual arrangements (temporary appointments, fixed-term contracts and continuing appointments), reducing the number of employment contracts from 11 to 3. The first two types of employment contract became effective on 1 July 2009.
In its resolution 65/247, the General Assembly specified the framework and terms of continuing appointment contracts. There are two ways to obtain this type of contract. Successful candidates from national competitive recruitment examinations are granted continuing contracts after two years of probationary service, subject to satisfactory performance. For all other staff, continuing appointment contracts are available within the margin of the post envelopes and the eligibility criteria established by the General Assembly (see Articles 53 and 54 of resolution 65/247).
The new contractual arrangements also harmonize the conditions of service for staff serving at Headquarters and in the field. An employee recruited to serve in a peacekeeping operation or in a special political mission (for a period of one year or more) will, from now on, be considered as an internal candidate for any other post in the Secretariat in the same way as for an employee at Headquarters. Their selection is approved by a recruitment monitoring body in the field, in the same way as for other positions in the Secretariat. This process eliminates the differences in status and treatment between employees at Headquarters and those in the field, paving the way for a genuine UN mobility policy, which certain member states are calling for.
The General Assembly requested the Secretary-General, in resolutions 63/250 and 65/247, to formulate a comprehensive mobility policy, which would be more cross-cutting and structured than the existing policy, which is not widely used and is essentially based on voluntary movements.
At the 67th session of the General Assembly, the Secretary-General put forward, in response to the member states, a proposal for a partially-managed mobility policy that was submitted to the Fifth Committee in fall 2012. This proposal focuses on the following main areas: grouping together of jobs that are potentially available to the same employee within the job family networks both at headquarters as well as in the field and position occupancy limits for different duty stations (1 to 7 years according to the classification of these duty stations). Each job network will have a board responsible for making recommendations on the selection and assignment of personnel within the network. Details of these proposals can be found in the report A/67/324/ Add.1.
According to the Secretary-General, this new mobility strategy should improve vacancy management and allow managers to spend less time on staffing tasks. It should also make it possible to improve the effectiveness of the HR process. Lastly, staff, who will now have a greater incentive to move to a different duty station, will benefit from improved career development.
The General Assembly is due to rule on this system in the near future. France supports the principle of a mobility policy that will allow for the best possible UN human resource management system in order to ensure the effectiveness of UN action and improve career development for its staff.
The General Assembly is urging the Secretariat to continue its efforts to improve these aspects of human resource management.
Planning for future workforce needs
In its resolution 65/247, the General Assembly reaffirms that it is possible to anticipate workforce needs for the main occupational groups. The Secretariat has therefore been asked to introduce a succession planning strategy for retirements as well as for field personnel. The Secretariat has introduced an online reporting tool called "HR Insight," which allows member states to have access to the information on which the Secretariat's planning is based. However, there are still significant delays with respect to the replacement of personnel who are retiring and recruitment.
Selection and recruitment of personnel
In its successive resolutions, the General Assembly stresses the vital importance of accelerating the recruitment and selection processes, the aim being to reduce the total length of the recruitment process to 120 days. At this stage, the timeframe is much longer and average recruitment times exceed 170 days.
The introduction of Inspira, a recruitment and career management system (following resolution 61/244) has, at this stage, not led to any significant progress with respect to recruitment times, even though it has improved the overall process to some extent through the streamlining of contracts.
France supports the initiatives aimed at making the selection and recruitment process more efficient, in order to improve the functioning of the organization and to take the situation of internal and external candidates more fully into account. It also attaches particular importance to the need for transparency and to the criteria established for recruitment (notably language criteria).
Performance management
In the same way, the General Assembly regularly calls for the implementation of a "credible, fair and fully functioning performance appraisal system" throughout the United Nations common system. Several measures have been adopted, notably with respect to oversight of the Performance Management and Development System, and mandatory training in performance management for managerial and supervisory staff. However, there is still a great deal to be done in order to implement an effective performance-based reward and penalty system that establishes a clear relationship between performance and career advancement. The Inspira module devoted to career management and appraisals was recently rolled out to the entire Secretariat and has yet to prove itself as a recruitment and management system within the framework of a global system.
Training and career development
The Secretariat has introduced a training and development program and an advisory committee on training for senior managers aimed at developing management and leadership capacities, improving communication and conflict resolution techniques, managing human and financial resources more effectively as well as upgrading certain technical skills.
The General Assembly is closely monitoring these issues, in addition to those relating to the teaching of language and communication skills at Headquarters as well as in overseas offices. The latter must be continued, with a particular focus on courses aimed at meeting work-related language needs.
In its resolution 65/247, the General Assembly approved the UN program for the recruitment of young professionals. The first competitive examination under the new system was held on 7 December 2011.
The competitive examination was offered in 4 job families: administration, humanitarian affairs, public information and statistics. Out of the 33,791 applications received, 4,426 candidates sat the examinations, 132 were then interviewed and 96 were finally selected.

text: 2 Doesn't come close to her previous works!alicia86 | 02/08/2011 | See all alicia86's reviews (4)I love reading Philippa Gregory's books so was very excited to read the sequel to The White Queen. Unfortunately I was rather disappointed. Even overlooking Gregory's portrayal of the central character as utterly unlikeable, resulting in the reader having little or no empathy for her, the obsessive nature of her character lead to the writing becoming repetitive, tiresome and uncharacteristically boring from Gregory. I really didn't care one way or the other if I finished it or not. Such a shame. Save your money and stick to Gregory's other books!

The Lyme disease blood test looks for antibodies in the blood to the bacterium that causes Lyme disease . The test is used to help diagnose Lyme disease.
Lyme disease serology; ELISA for Lyme disease; Western blot for Lyme disease
A blood sample is needed.
A laboratory specialist looks for Lyme disease antibodies in the blood sample using the ELISA test. If the ELISA test is positive, it must be confirmed with the Western blot test.
You do not need special steps to prepare for this test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
The test is done to help confirm the diagnosis of Lyme disease.
A negative test result is normal. This means none or few antibodies to Lyme disease were seen in your blood sample. If the ELISA test is negative, usually no other testing is needed.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A positive ELISA result is abnormal. This means antibodies were seen in your blood sample. But, this does not confirm a diagnosis of Lyme disease. A positive ELISA result must be followed up with a Western blot test. Only a positive Western blot test can confirm the diagnosis of Lyme disease.
For many people, the ELISA test remains positive, even after they have been treated for Lyme disease and no longer have symptoms.
A positive ELISA test may also occur with certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Veins and arteries vary in size, so it may be harder to take a blood sample from one person than another.
Other slight risks from having blood drawn may include:

XXV, No. 18 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1939 BR^�,5y^0Ah^JR^oSiTLEEQE?m9 PRICE 10 CBNTS Mass Meeting Hears Opinions On Big May Day Academic Disorganization Results From Intensive Rehearsals CAMPUS IS UNIFIED BY GROUP EFFORt Goodhart,(May 11.�Last March it was decided that a mass meeting should be held to present the problem of May Day, which could then be dis- cussed and decided upon later in hall meetings. Three aspects of this prob- lem were dealt with at Chapel by Eleanor Taft, '39, Margaret Otis, '39, and Miss Rosmond Cross, acting head of Baldwin School and an alum- na of Bryn Mawr.- They spoke on the history and significance of the May Day tradftion to the faculty and the undergraduates, the administration and organization of May Day, and its effect on the academic life of the col- lege. It is not a question of the abolition of May Day, but of whether to have it in 1940 or not, said Miss Taft. The decision is entirely in the hands of the undergraduates. Nor'is it a mat- ter of the right or wrong of May Day, but of individual opinion as to whether it is worth the inevitable academic disorganization and the loss of freedom for extra curricular activir ties during the greater part of a year. There have been eight big May Days, the first being given in the spring of 1900 as a means of raising funds for a building project. This first May Day, said Miss Cross, was done on a fairly simple scale and did not require large financial backing. It included eight plays and a pageant of the Elizabethan common people. The undergraduates who organized it agreed not to cut classes or to let it interfere in any way with their work. Since then the proportions of May Day have changed considerably. Speaking from the point of view of an alumna, Miss Cross favored the co-operation of faculty, students and alumnae which May Day necessitates, the chance it gives to Bryn Mawr graduates to" show their families the college in full action, and the "good it does the children in the village who take part in the pageant." The burden of May Day falls chiefly on the administrators, the President of Undergraduate Association, the President of Players' Club and a few Continued on Page Six Mr. Haile to Address Peace Day Assembly Sanctions Demanded by Y.CX., While Peace Group Urges Conciliation (Especially contributed by Helen Cobb, 'kb.) Pennington Haile, of the League of Nations Association, will address the College at the third Student Assem- bly, to be held Friday, April 20, in- tercollegiate Student Peace Day. Following the address, Peace Council resolutions will be' presented. Dis- agreement is obvious among the six student groups which have suggested resolutions to the Peace Council: A campus questionnaire will have to be taken before a truly representa- tive statement of college/opinion can be drawn up. At one extreme, the Young Com- munist League bases its policy on "the fact that Fascism is the war-making force," and advocates sanctions against aggressors, loans to China, in- creased armaments and cooperation with the U. S. S. R. At the other extreme, the Peace Group opposes the "Stop Hitler" movement and suggests conciliatory economic offerings to him "in exchange for stopping persecution of the Jews and ending territorial ex- pansion." The A. S. U. takes a fairly strong stand for "sufficient armaments" and revision of our neutrality laws by the Thomas Amendment allowing the President to discriminate, in the ap- plication of the act, against those na- tions who have broken a, treaty (er-g. the Kellogg Pact, the Nine Power Pact) to which the United States is a signatory. A group of students in Radnor takes an even stronger stand than the A. S. U. in favor of "a concerted program of rearmament," the Thomas Amendment, and also "that we cooperate with the Western Democracies and Russia in an effort to combat the spread of Fascist ag- gression"." The Good Neighbor pol- icy toward South America was the one issue on which all parties agreed.

Fifty Amateurs Win Prizes With Clowning Honors Divided Between Judges, Miss Henderson and Wild Dance by Rehrig Goodhart Hall, A*pril 6.�The judges at Amateur Night reached the best possible decision in giving prizes to all the performers. The emphasis was rather on clowning than on virtuoso^ finish, but the resulting program was the most hilarious since the Fresh- man Show. In the March issue, the Lantern editors have tried to meet the criticism so' often made against them, that only articles by the board appear, and have produced an issue for which out- side contributors wrote nearly all the material. But though the quality of the writing presented may be up to the Lantern's standards, the quantity is scanty enough to prove that the Lantern board cannot rely solely on outside contributors, but must them- selves write for the magazine. The prize story, A Day ip the Meadow, while handled well in the first part, ends weakly and in doing so expresses in part the scantiness in quality as we^l as in quantity present , in the March issue. The description of the country, the naturalness of the children and their play, is convinc- ingly simple and direct. The soldieH seems a bit exaggerated though still a fairly realistic character. The ending is dramatically worked up, but has an effect of triteness and falsity. The horror of war has been shown many times by the reaction on the "young and innocent" and this ending is nothing new. A more seri- ous fault than this 4s the fact that there seems little reason for the air- planes to bomb the field in which I only the children and the deserter can be seen and which lies near no important section of the country. Be- cause of this ending the story fails to be strong or effective. The prize article, American Litera- ture: Pro, deserves a higher grade than the prize story. It is excellently written in a clear, direct and compact style. The viewpoint is a balanced one�it does not laud American litera- ture to the sky and yet it shows that too often we- overlook our own literature to worship that of older nations. The distinction between sub- jects that can be self-taught and those that must be taught is clearly made. The whoh> article is a unified piece of writing. * The other article, II Duce and Plato, attempts a comparison of Fascist and Platonic ideas of the state, its policies and organization. For the nature of its subject the article is complex, but in spite of the wide range of material covered, the comparison has been well handled and is as direct as perhaps was possible under the conditions. Its method of showing the similarity of the two philosophies by contrasting them with a third, such as socialism or democracy, makes the writer's argu- Contlnued on Pare Six The judges should have had prizes, too, for their reaction to the 50 ama- teurs made a show in itself. Mile. Bree was expert in coping with un- rujy contestants, particularly the notorious problem child, Peggy Otis, '39. Mr. Anderson defended his honor from the wiles of designing enchant- resses with practiced skill. High point of the evening was the en- trance of curvaceous Madame Guiton, related, it is said, to a member of the French department. To Miss Henderson, for her sus- tained and appropriate patter aS* mis- tress of ceremonies, went a yellow calla lily, largely obscured in a pur- ple bow. Her chief difficulty was a program that led her to announce sev- eral phantoms who did not appear until later, already had performed, or never came to light at all.

A. Meeting On March 21, the Athletic Asso- ciation called a meeting in the gym to discuss the hitherto privately de- bated "squash courts?* Since that time, questionnaires have been dis- tributed to discover student opinion as to the specific requirements for the proposed building. Speaking at the meeting, Mrs. Manning emphasized the absolute ne- cessity, because of the expansion of the college, for another athletic build- ing. She pointed out that the singu- larly poor climate around Bryn Mawr prevented extensive outside athletics. "Moreover," she added, "I have be- come convinced that the human race was not intended primarily for intel- lectual pufcits." She concluded with the suRpemWi that a concrete plan be formulatl(& so that interest in the project might be aroused more easily outside the college. Continued on Page Three Four Sided Symposium Opened By Bernheimer and Carpenter Representation in Art Covers Relation of Society to Artist; Archaeological Approach to Art Traces Cyclical Development SUBLEVELS IN WORK OF ART DELINEATED CARPENTER DISCUSSES CHANGES IN STYLES Music Room, April 3 and 5.�Rich- ard Bernheimer, assistant professor in history of art, opened the Symposium sponsored by the "art, philosophy and archaeology departments with two lectures on Representation in Art. The first lecture explained the necessity of representation in establishing an understanding between the artist and his audience. The second discussed different aspects of representation in the work of art, tracing the logical stratification of the esthetic object through the sub-levels of sign, image, and symbol. "Representation in art is ultimately inevitable," said Mr. Bernheimer in his first lecture, "for art is the total human response to reality in its en- tirety." Abstract art has descended into empty formalism in attempting to make various patterns of form and color its only end; rather, the artist must use form and color as the agents for his content�mood, experience, or' metaphysical truth. Purely abstract art, continued Mr. Bernheimer, offers an extremely ^nar- row fiejd for expression in that it must confute itself to two dimensional forms. As soon as the third dimen- ston Is introduced, representative cotp notations are inevitably attached to Cor'lnuea on Pace Two MRS. CARL AKELEY DESCRIBES AFRICAN WILD ANIMAL HUNT Goodhart, April H.�Supplement- ing her text with movies and lantern slides, Mrs. Carl Akeley described Carl Akeley's last expedition to Africa to collect the great groups for the African Hall of the Museum of Nat- ural History in New York. With two assistant taxidermists and two artists, she and her husband spent eight months in 1926 assembling speci- mens. The expedition established itself at a house in Nairobi and returned to it after ea�n individual hunt. After six weeifs collecting cliff-springers or small rock-gazelles, they started north in search of giraffe and other animals for the Northern Group. A3 a hunt- ing-ground they chose a high plain where the water-holes were so far apart that Europeans had never been tempted to stay there or hunt game. It took 16 days to discover a per- fect bull giraffe, 16 feet tall, with a young female giraffe and a baby. Mr. Akeley also collected a buffalo, antelope^ wildebeest, and their accom- panying zebra. Here, too, Mr. Mar- tin Johnson joined the expedition, and he and Mr. Akeley made a movie of a native lion-hunt. Lions, Mrs. Ake- Jey explained, live only on game when young, but if old and feeble, are likely to attack domestic herds. The gov- ernment, therefore, permits the na- tives to carry spear3 and hunt the lions with them. , From the veldt, the expedition traveled to central Africa on a mis- sion from King Albert of Belgium. In 1905, a great region of wilderness, with all the zones of climate from jungle to mountain, had been set aside as a wild animal sanctuary and chrlst- ened the Pare Albert. Mr. and Mrs. Ake}ey were commissioned to collect animals there, especially gorilla*. " Here, Mr. and Mr.;. Akeley suc- ceeded in taking the only movies ever made of wild gorillas in the forest. They were dangerous, she explained, only if followed too long, awakened suddenly, or accompanied by mothers and their young. Their ferocious chest-thumping is a gesture of sur- prise, not of anger, and occurs very seldom. Mr. Akeley saw it happen only once.' Music Room, April 10.�"Art styles run through phases without apparent reference to individual talent," said Rhys Carpenter, professor of classical archaeology and Greek in his discus- sion of the Arcliaeotegical Approach to Art, the third lecture In the Art �- Symposium. The artist is necessarily conditioned by the technical era in which he is born and according to his talents will make* use of his resources. The cycle of artistic stages from the Romanesque through Gothic, Re- naissance, and Modern art had its parallel 2000 years ago in the Greek sculptor' who developed from the crude stone-cutter of the early archaic to the technically perfect artisan of the Hellenistic. Starting- with a two dimensional conception of the human figure the sculptor gradually learned to manipulate solid forms and to em- phasize surfaces and planes rather than lines. ~ Sculpture should be, according to Mr. Carpenter, the "externalization of sensually apprehended units of spatial organization." The*sculptor's task is far more difficult than the painter's for although he perceives ob- jects two dimensionally he must re- produce them as solid forms. Since, as psychologists have proved, he pro- jects naturally only flat silhouettes and contours, when first working in the round he relied on memory images and cut back the outlines on his block of stone or wood so that often only four views of the figure resulted. The details of the early figures have no solid actuality and are reduced to mere surface drawings. Opportuni- ties for improvement lay in the elab- oration and technical advance of the execution. This phase of art which developed primarily into decorative analysis is the archaic, and when an Continued on Page Five College Overwhelmed By Psychologists At one o'clock on Thursday night, March 30, psychologists were still arriving at Bryn Mawr. By dawn 350 had been accommodated, 75 more than expected. Further statistics, re- ported by Miss Howe, show that a total of 655 psychologists registered at the conference, while 400, nearly half of them unexpected, were fed regularly. Headquarters were in the Deanery, with Mr. Helson and Mr. McKinnon in charge. In Rhoads, Pembroke, and finally in Merion and Denbigh as well, hall managers maintained calm ex- teriors while they received the guests. Simultaneously they directed frantic activity, cleaning, making fires and arranging meals, aided only by the usual force of maids and porters. ''Miss Park voiced her astonishment at seeing the campus, covered with men, while others noted that all 655 psychologists kept off the grass and were complimentary about the food. One visitor even remarked to Miss Hait that the meals were "so much better than at Bennington." The psychologists expressed intense ...jenal in the identities of 4he usual inhabitants of their rooms, asking the hall managers for detailed descrip- tions. They responded in gratifying numbers to the messages left for. them. To the girl who left them per- mission to use her victrola they prom- ised new records, and in Rockefeller they also enjoyed the bicycles. Even on the day th* psychologists wi re to leave, the managers had fur-' ther problems. At six o'clock a group of men was still in earnest discus- sion on the second floor, and several women were takinjr baths. 0

Where and how you plant is all important. Keep in mind that the lavenders are native to the Mediterranean, and if you've ever been to the South of France, you know that means hot, rocky, and arid--almost desert-like in many places. This tells you that perennial lavenders demand sharp-draining soils, never rich, damp and soggy. In fact, if your soil is heavy, it's worth it to mix in some sand or gravel before you plant, and perhaps create little mounds for your plants so each one drains quickly. Fact is, if you fail with lavender, it will probably be due to over-watering. Lavenders don't mind drought a bit, and love hot, blazing sun. Remember, little water and no shade! As for varieties, first there are the "English Lavenders", which are cultivars of Lavendula angustifolia and include the famous "Munstead," most popular variety for the US. (Munstead is the one in the photo at right.) And then there's "Hidcote," a shorter version of the same species. Both are highly fragrant, and both are favorites as dried flowers. Beyond the English types, there are other lavenders commonly called French, Spanish, and other names.

My dear Children
I have been cruelly dissapointed in my expectations of seeing you - and that, so repeatedly, that I confess to you my fortitude and patience have experienced some trial.
But in our travels thro' this unsettled World, my dears, the circumstances we find ourselves in, are sometimes imperious - they rule us with despotic power - and we must submit.
Such have been ours - your Fathers, and of course mine. Had it not been that he really wish'd much to be with us, and participate in the satisfaction of so happy a meeting after our long separation, I should long since have taken stage-fare for my own part, and rattling over rough and smooth have soon lessened the distance between us.But he still flattering himself that the latter part of each week would find him sufficiently disengaged to accomplish the visit, I still waited for him; till last seventh day, when I was all prepared even to the bringing down my bonnet little trunk &c. - and waited in that state till one o'clock - when your Father came in and informed me the wind blew from the East, and he believed a storm was approaching. I then, again concluded to defer it. and very reluctantly signified my conclusion to your Cousin John Thomas, who was to have accompanied me.
One of the difficulties which oppose our both leaving home at once arises from the state of your Sister's health. She is in the height of the [Hooping] Cough - and it would of course be very improper to introduce her into any family or School, while at the same time, it would be a trial to leave her.
Which you may readily concieve, for you know perfectly well, that none but parents, can, with equal care govern and restrain Children of her age, for their own good: Nevertheless she has it so favourable, that as soon as other circumstances will permit, we shall leave her.I have likewise been for four weeks, without any Servant but Tillman, and now have only a young Girl besides: which may account for my not writing often. Caroline is at this moment lying asleep on my lap - All your relations are

Making Connections
Karen Kennedy
This bridge crosses the Delaware connecting Philadelphia to Camden, N.J. The mixed-use structure not only carries cars and buses from one side to the other, it also has dedicated pedestrian-bike lanes and the train runs along it. Cost from Philly to Camden or vice versa on the train is $1.50.
We all know about the problems facing the Metro Atlanta region – job growth, transportation, housing, transportation, the economy, transportation, education and, you guessed it, transportation … . So, what can an Atlanta Regional Commission led trip to Philadelphia – the 18th such LINK (Leadership, Involvement, Networking, Knowledge) trip to different cities around the country by Atlanta-area business, government and nonprofit leaders – teach us about how to address our problems and take advantage of our opportunities?
At first glance, it would seem that the Philadelphia region faces even greater challenges than Atlanta when trying to come together to solve region-wide problems. The area is made up not just of cities and counties with their own agendas, but also touches three states and has a river – the Delaware – running straight through it.
And yet, thanks in part to a transit system that connects not only the area, but also the people, together, Philadelphia and the surrounding region are thriving again after decades on the decline. We heard from leaders including Paul Levy, the president and CEO of Philadelphia's Center City District, the private organization that works to ensure the downtown area is a clean, safe, beautiful and fun place to live, work and play. He noted that the region's residents used to do a reverse brag. "I haven't been to downtown in six months," one would say. Only to have the next person chime in with, "That's nothing. I haven't been in over a year."
Now, Center City is safe, clean and home to city government, shopping, banking, performing arts venues, restaurants, bars and Fortune 500 businesses – including Comcast, with more than 10,000 employees who will soon be housed in a new Center City tower. The pedestrian- and bike-friendly area has worked to attract younger people – both Center City residents and also commuters, who stay in town after work – with the addition of amenities such as sidewalk cafes and cultural activities available at all hours. By providing a desirable destination and the means to get there, Philly has instilled in area residents a pride – and a connection that helps make collaboration across the region not only possible, but desirable.
With the BeltLine and the Streetcar coming to fruition and more companies relocating intown, Atlanta's heading in the right direction, but the trip to Philly proves it still has miles to go. Gathering ideas and seeing what works in other cities like Philadelphia each year can help keep the momentum going.

Architect Bob Gurney's clients may have a penchant for Modern architecture, but a series of angular, all-white spaces were not what they had in mind for this row-house renovation. "The husband works in a rectangular government office building and said he didn't want to come home to these rooms stacked on top of one another," Gurney recalls. Fortunately, the clients were also an architecturally adventurous couple who granted him all the artistic freedom he needed to create something "out of the box."
Gurney offset the narrow, in-line footprint with sweeping curves and dramatic diagonals that overlap and rotate around a central point. An urbane mix of materials--including concrete, steel, block aluminum, copper, limestone, Kalwall, and clear and sandblasted glass--plays off the strong shapes to create an environment that's rich in color, pattern, and texture. "They wanted a Modern house but didn't want it to be a temple to Sheetrock," Gurney explains. "We wanted to show that you can do a Modern house that's warm and inviting." The judges agreed that he succeeded, calling the project "amazing."

Barry Callebaut reveals innovation in Chocolate at the ISM 2006
At the ISM 2006, Barry Callebaut will present a series of remarkable chocolate, cocoa and chocolate-related innovations. At the FIE 2005, Barry Callebaut welcomed many visitors, a heart-warming confirmation that the demand for qualitative chocolate is still increasing.
Amongst the items on display at ISM 2006 are:
- Polyphenols: the hidden secret in chocolate
- Chocolate without added sugar, with reduced sugar, sugar free chocolate
- Origin chocolate
- Organic and fair-trade chocolate and cocoa powder
- Milk chocolate with honey
- Crystal Cocoa
- Low Trans Fatty Acids products
Cocoa is renowned for its flavour, its tempting aromas and its richness in valuable minerals and vitamins. Scientific studies have also shown that cocoa is rich in anti-oxidants. In particular, the polyphenols present in raw cocoa have proved to be extremely valuable. They are more abundantly present in cocoa than in tea or red wine and can even play an important role in prevention and treatment of some health problems such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Barry Callebaut set up a research program in collaboration with leading medical scientists, with promising results. Traditional cocoa processing techniques however reduce the quantity of the valuable polyphenols in cocoa. Barry Callebaut therefore has created a new cocoa processing method that preserves the natural polyphenols in cocoa. We are confident that this will lead to a revolutionary range of new cocoa powders and liquors that can also boost your business, opening the door to tastier, healthier cocoa products.
Chocolate without added sugar, reduced sugar and sugar free chocolate
Traditional chocolate contains 30 to 55% added sugar – apart from the natural sugars already present in the ingredients (e.g. lactose present in milk powder) and roasted nuts.Consumers today choose more often for products without added sugar, reduced sugar or for sugar free products. Barry Callebaut has developed a range of chocolate based on Maltitol – without added sugar. In parallel with this range, Barry Callebaut has developed a range of chocolate with reduced sugar (30% less in comparison to comparable traditional products) and a sugar free range.
Each cocoa is as unique as its origin. Barry Callebaut sources its own beans from the world's leading cocoa producing regions. Because of this expertise Barry Callebaut was able to create a range of dark and milk chocolate made with cocoa beans from a specific geographical location and botanical origin, allowing people to discover a world of differences in taste and aromas. The cocoa beans originate from Central & South America, West Africa and Asia. By combining two pure Asian beans Milk origin chocolate was developed. Also two Asian origin milk chocolates are available.
Organic and fair-trade chocolate and cocoa powder
To qualify as 'Organic', products must be sourced from organic horticulture or agriculture. Only natural, environmentally friendly techniques may be used. The use of genetically manipulated seeds is absolutely forbidden. The compliance of this stringent legislation is assured with checks being carried out by government-accredited organizations, such as ECOCERT (France and Belgium) and NAFTA (Asia-Pacific). Barry Callebaut has several certified Organic chocolates that meet the EU requirements.
Apart from the importance of healthy food, another tendency is present: the growing demand for fair-trade products. Barry Callebaut offers a wide range of products that are certified Fair-trade. Barry Callebaut guarantees this certification by purchasing ingredients from manufacturers recognised by the Fairtraide Labelling Organization. This worldwide non-profit umbrella organization ensures fair-trade between farmers/producers and their direct customers.
Barry Callebaut reveals a great combination of nature's best: chocolate with real honey powder. It unites both popular flavours into one superb milk chocolate, ready for the most diverse applications. This milk chocolate with real honey taste is a mixture of creamy milk chocolate with real honey powder. The result is a subtle sweet and natural tasting milk chocolate, appreciated by 7-70. This product equals 100% natural origin: real honey powder (1.5%) added to 100% creamy milk chocolate. It contains no colouring agents and on the labelling: mentioning "with real honey" is allowed, if the ingredient list clearly states: honey powder. This product guarantees easy processing and handling identical as traditional chocolates.
Through our mastery of cocoa processing technology, we are able to create the cocoa powder concept with non-hygroscopic character. Put quite simply, Crystal cocoa does not absorb any moisture! That makes it perfect for decorating or topping desserts that are kept for instance in moist environment. Traditional cocoa powders very quickly take up moisture from the dessert or from condensation in packaging, thus compromising the fresh, attractive presentation. The colour of the cocoa powder becomes darker and the powder partly dissolves – but not with the Crystal Cocoa powder. It retains its powdery texture and colour, even in a moist environment or on a creamy or liquid-based dessert. That's how technology helps us to create new cocoa powders that make traditional desserts such as tiramisu, ice cream, ice cakes, bavarois, mousses… look and taste even better.
Trans fatty acids have been heavily criticised in several scientific and food publications and are often being regarded as the 'bad fats' – both by scientists, food manufacturers, … and the consumer. Consumers increasingly care about their health, they read up, inform themselves and are sensible to products tackling this issue. Barry Callebaut has subjected its whole product range to a strict study and reduced the trans fatty acids to 2,9% on all incoming vegetable fats (coming from 7,7%). An impressive reduction without altering the delicious taste, texture, technical and product qualities. With this turnaround Barry Callebaut is anticipating new European and transatlantic guidelines and theirs client's request to lower the trans fatty acids in products.

KIRKWOOD, Mo (KMOV.com) – Monday Kirkwood is telling residents they may have to pay more for power.
The city owns and operates its own electric utility, and has given initial approval to a rate increase.
The rate increase would mean $76 more a year to residents who are Kirkwood Electric customers- about two thirds of homeowners.
City council member Paul Ward says even with the increase, Kirkwood Electric customers still pay about $10 a year less than Ameren Missouri customers in town.
"We live in a real world, Life gets in all that we do," he said. "Costs go up and down. But we don't ask too much of our citizens and when you look at the level of services that residents come here for, that's what brings them here."
Ward says revenue from the utility stays in Kirkwood, and that profits go toward funding city services. He says if the rate increase happens, it'd be the first for Kirkwood Electric customers since 2010.
A final vote on the rate increase is expected in early february.

Perfect Invitations!
Rooftop Party Rectangle Invitations My invitation for my wedding came out beautiful. I had so many compliments and I have already recommended MagnetStreet to another bride-to-be.
Rooftop Party Rectangle Invitations Magnet Street is great! I shopped around with other websites and they were the only ones to let us see what our custom colors looked like on the card from the beginning. All other websites said you had to order a sample to see the custom colors! When we received our invitations and RSVP cards they were perfect and we received rave reviews from our guests that they were some of the best invitations they had ever received!!! Would recommend Magnet Street to anyone!!
Beautiful product, fast production
Rooftop Party Rectangle Invitations I am so happy with our wedding invitations from Magnet Street. They let you customize every single word, every single design on the product so you can really make it yours! The production was fast, the shipping was fast and I couldn't be happier with the invites!!
Beautiful invitations for a great value
Rooftop Party Rectangle Invitations Be sure and order the samples with your colors! It was really helpful for me to see the colors/quality in person, but they also sent little swatch cards with the colors on them. Those have been super helpful in every part of the process, I just keep one in my purse and have it handy to pick out decorations etc. After using Magnet Street for our Save the Dates, I was really pleased with the product and knew I wanted to use them for my invitations as well. Customizing the design to suit my colors and text was really easy, and during the proofing process they even let me know that they made a change to the font to make it more readable, which it was. It's nice that a designer looks over your design before it goes into production. The invitations arrived yesterday, and we were really pleased with the outcome. The colors were true to the samples we had received, and our picture was very crisp and clear. The address labels we ordered was great as well, and everything arrived in a nice, sturdy, re-useable box. All in all, great design and great value!
Perfect Invite
Rooftop Party Rectangle Invitations These invitations were absolutely perfect! They were great quality and I was very impressed with their overall look. They were everything I wanted and more!
