Emory Stars As Catharine In Shaw Play � Players Club and Haverford Collaborate in "Arms And the Man" DRAMA PROVES TOO SUBTLE FOR GROUP Goodhart, December 10.�The Play- ers' Chib in collaboration with Hav- erford's Cap and Bells, presented George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man, Saturday night, as the major attraction of the Bryn Mawr theatri- cal season. Gertrude Leighton, '38, assisted by Fifi Garbat, '41, handled the directing of the play carefully and conscientiously, and with the ex- ception of a few unfortunate_Japses of memory, the actors playecT their roles creditably. The finest piece of acting was con- tributed by Eleanor Emery, '40, who, as Catherine Petkoff, mother of the heroine, captivated the audience with her expressive eyes and voice. Miss Emery, more than any other member of the cast, caught the mood of the play and gave her performance just the right amount of burlesque. She seemed completely at ease, possibly "because she really understood and ap- preciated Shaw's satire. Somehow when Miss Emery came on stage even the duller spots of the play were brightened. She was especially good, as was most of the cast, in the second act. Sarah Meigs, '39, played Raina � gracefully. Her insight into the char- acter she was portraying was less keen than Miss Emery's, but in sev- eral places she proved herself to be a skillful comedienne, as in the scene where Raina regales Bluntschli with a description of her cultural back- ground. Unfortunately there was never any development of Raina's af- fection for her chocolate cream sol- dier. Miss Meigs diligently followed the script and did succeed in estab- lishing her own character, but at the close of the play it was hard to be- lieve that she and Bluntschli were des- tined to a long and happy life to- gether. Nevertheless, Miss Meigs helped immeasurably to make the play, as a whole, light and. charming. Phyllis Wright, '41, added consid- erable life and vitality to the produc- tion in the role of Louka, Raina's maid. She was at the peak of her performance in her scene with Ser- gius, Raina's fiance^ in the second act, and slightly less good in the third because she seeme^d to be trying too hard. , The five men's roles were taken with varying degrees of skill by mem- Continued on Page Four GERMAN CLUB GIVES CHRISTMAS TABLEAU Common Room, December 13.�The German Club Christmas tableau, en- acted from the second chapter of Saint Luke, combined effective pantomime and. beautiful singing of traditional carols. Ellen Matteson, '40, directad the program, which was opened by Louise Herron, '39, and Christine Waples, '42, who played the adagio movement of the Bach double con- certo as a violin and flute duet. After the townsfolk entered, sing- ing Adeste Fidelia, Mary and Joseph came to the stable, and were soon followed, during the singing of Stille Nocht, by the shepherds and then the angels. Among the most familiar carols sung were: Ea ist ein Reiz, 0 Jesulein zart, and In Dulce Jubilo, and at the approach of the three kings, the less well-known Wir kom- men daher. Our Village Rehearsal Miss Linn and Mn Steele Faculty and Students Produce Skit, "Our Village," for Benefit of Peace Chest Gymnasium, December 10.�Pre- ceded by an appeal for someone to play a Spanish dance, and some others to pay their admission fees, the atmo- sphere of Our Village was quickly set by the entrance of Barbara Bigelow as stage-manager ip. the true Wilder tradition. "This play is called Our Village," she announced flatly, and then pro- ceeded to describe the scene and intro- duce her characters as they appeared. Mrs. Woodrow, cast as Mrs. Chad- wick-Collins, was the first. The part had been written with more spirit than accuracy as that of an ebullient pub- licity agent. The entrance of the "elite" "of our village, consisting of Miss Henderson, Miss Gardiner, Miss Terrien, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Cameron and a body of students, was followed by the arrival of Miss Frances Perkins, who, seated on a ladder, was acted by Miss Lipn, with violent agitation of the right foot and both hands. The climax of the first scene was reached when Paul Green, Mr. Steele disguised in black hair, took his seat on the second lad- der. In the debate which ensued be- tween the two, on the relative efficacy of "minimum standards of housing" versus dreams and the frontiersman's axe, we were finally persuaded that, even in the intellectual unity of our village, the economist and the poet live on different planes. r Disillusioned Youth appealed to the godlike Mr. Green from the depths of its tired, collective soul. 'While Ca- milla Riggs gave throaty expression Continued on Page Three Art Club Opens Series Of Illustrated Lectures Louise Thompson, '39, Discusses Paintings of Breughel Common Room, December 11.�In- augurating a new series of four lec- tures sponsored by the Art Club, Lou- ise Thompson, '39, spoke on the work of Pieter Breughel the elder. Repro- ductions of the artist's work, lent to the cojUege by Raymond and Raymond of New York, were exhibited) and with' these Miss Thompson illustrated her lecture. -Miss Thompson emphasized the fact that Breughel, himself of humble birth, painted of and for the Flemish middle classes of the sixteenth cen- � �ury. He was interested in represent- ing them in their daily work and at their festivals, as in the series of four paintings called The Seasons. More than that, he used for his subject matter the fairy tales and proverbs of the people. Breughel lived at a time when po- litical and religious problems were causing confusion and dissatisfaction Continued on Fa** Six Michels Spins Top In Name of Science Science Club Observes Unusual Demonstrations Confirming Physics Theories Dalton Hall, December 7.�Walter C. Michels, of the physics department, speaking to the Science Club on Spin- ning Tops, regretted that he had no cat to drop in order to demonstrate the conservation of spin in an isolated system. The behavior of spinning bodies was otherwise amply shown in demonstrations that included, besides tops, a mono-rail car that walked the tightrope, and a mysterious suitcase that swerved sideways when lifted. The subject had been chosen chiefly for the variety of striking experi- ments possible for demonstration. Afterwards the faculty and students in the audience w�re permitted to ex- periment further with a spinning chair and the gyroscopes. The infor- mal atmosphere of the meeting was promoted by dinner in Denbigh, held beforehand, where two tables were taken over by Mr. and Mrs. Michels, Mr. and Mrs. Pattefson, and the Sci- ence Club. * % * In any one system there is only a given amount of this "spin," which does not change.. When you start a top spinning, you are giving the earth an equal and opposite spm, although because of the relative sizes of the two bodies the-latter effect is not ap- preciable. The behavior of a spinning body depends upon the speed, the mass, and the effective distance of the mass from the axis of rotation. The action of the mysterious suit- case and of gyroscopes in general is due to a property of spinning bodies. When an object is spinning it can be considered as exerting a force along Continued on Pa�e Six Early Man is Traced To Extinct Mammals Graduate Day, Chapel, Discussed by Council � � ��- Provisions for Undergraduate Discussion of College Problems Urged President's Houae, December .7.� The main topics under discussion at the meeting of the third College Coun- cil were: methods for obtaining un- dergraduate opinion, the question of Graduate Day, and the announcement of scholarships on little May Day, the. problem of a different arrangement for morning chapel, and the Refugee Scholarships. At the last Council meeting it was decided that undergraduates would feel more closely connected with the aims of the college if they could play a.larger part in the discussion of its problems. This could be done by hold- ing a general meeting of the Under- graduate Association where the dis- cussion could "take place, and by elect ing representatives who would meet in a group and in their halls to tall; over plans. So far, nothing has been done about this, except the publication in the Continued on Page Two Draper Enacts Varied Program of Monologues Renowned Diseuse Presents Lengthy But Skillful Performance many contrasting Figures depicted Dean Foresees Danger In Emotional Politics Communism and Fascism Neutralize Each Qther Arizona Evidence Indicates His Appearance in America Was In Pleistocene Age Deanery, Dec. 8.�In his lecture on Early Man in America, Dr. Strong explained the present anthropologic controversy as being due to the new- ness of America's pedigree.' In spite of conflicting theories, however, cer- tain important conclusions about the early American have been reached. His association with extinct mammals has been repeatedly verified and the probability of the Pleistocene age fully proven, thereby dating the American man's appearance as 15,000 B.C. Moreover, recent discoveries have substantiated the possibility of a continuous civilization and of an interglacial man. Tw6 of the most important sites for establishing the New Worlds' pedi- gree are at Folsom, Arizona, and Clo- vis, Mexico. In both of these were found spear heads (called Folsom points) that date back to the close of the Pleistocene age and were con- nected with such -extinct animals as the bison and the ancient horse. The high-plains near Long's Peak, in Denver, offer a comparatively new field for investigation. These areas, now mostly dry waste lands, were once well watered lake regions. The sites' are in the few sections preserved from erosion, and the artifacts found there are of the post-Pleistocene age.

It seems likely that the hatred of Nazi doctrines and practices as exemplified by the persecution of tht Jews in Germany will lead to a great increase in the enrollment of young people in this country in Communist and semi-Commufflst organizations. On the other hand, any proof oi even any rumor of the success of Com munist activities, especially in the ranks of labor 6rganizations, will lead to a tremendous increase in the activities of such reactionary and semi-Fascist groups as already exist. Although it has been shown again and again that such organizations as the Ku Klux Klan and the Vigilantes die a natural"death because of their pure- ly localized and temporary character, Continued on Page Four TWO CHOIRS SING IN CAROL SERVICE Goodhart, December 11.�On Sun- day evening the choirs of Bryn Mawr College and the Church of the Re- deemer combined to bring us one of the lovel&st Christmas Carol Services ever given here. Under the able di- rection of Mr. Willoughby they sang familiar carols, selections from the Mesaiah, and, of special interest, Mr. Willoughby's-- Joaeph Came Seeking, set to a text by Canon Earp. The sermon, based on the Bible story from Luke, was also given by Canon Earp. Particularly beautiful were the ren- ditions with solos. Margaret Whit- croft sang the contralto recitative O Thou That Tellest, and Mary Earp, There Wer* Shepherds, both from Handel'j .Messjalj. A Czech Carol was done* t>y the Bryn Mawr Choir alone, with Margot Dethier, '42, sing- ing a delicate soprano above the other voices. Masterful precision and real musicianship in shadings marked the whole program. The Wassail Song, too, produced a most enjoyable effect.: starting with a thin "Wassail!" in fifths by the men's voices, it worked up to a full climax and died out as it began. Mr. Willoughby deserves a great deal of credit for turning out such a finished performance by stu- dents with but few additions from outside. * L. H. Goodhart, December IS.�On Mon- day night, Miss Ruth Draper, in her first Goodhart appearance, presented a series of five monologues. As usual, Miss Draper gave an entertaining and highly-finished performance, proving once more that besides being a skil- ful actress she is a magician, able to create a roomful of scenery and per- sonalities out of a chair, a table, and a shawl. If any criticism of her performance might be advanced, it would be that each monologue, with the exception of Vive la France, was too long. The task of a diseuse is to present a per- sonality through its subtle rather than through its obvious" idiosyncrasies. Miss Draper solved that problem at the outset of each monologue with the utmost skill and perception, and with that insight into character in which she excels. When this happens, it is necessary for the substance of the lines to make up for the resulting anticlimax. Miss Draper's second monologue, Doctors, showed the lack of this necessary re- deeming feature. After the shallow, gossip-loving, gullible nature of Mr�. Grimmer had been set forth in Miss Draper's best style, the lines were not sufficiently good to save the monologue from monotony. In her first monologue, this fault was by no means so apparent. Open- ing a Bazaar succeeded where Doctors had failed in partially sustaining its humor throughout. Miss Draper gave a richly humorous burlesque of an English lady living through the hor- rors of.a, country bazaar, gallant and resigned, through long years of ex- perience, and completely in command of the situation at all times. Her chief props were an austere pair of lorgnettes and an eloquent feather boa, both of which she manipulated with infinite poise and dignity. A memorable picture created in this scene was that of the centrepiece of the cake-table, a bust of the Princess Elizabeth "done in butter, my dear." The monologue which best conveyed Miss Draper's power of strong dra- matic emphasis was the brief; tragic Vive la France. By reason of its brevity it displayed an intensity of feeling which was unrelieved, yet never overdone, and which grew rather than deteriorated as the scene progressed.

A disliked bat destined for greatness
By Brad Horn
Baseball immortality takes all shapes and forms. And even, it seems, undesirable forms.
Such is the case of the Louisville Slugger that once belonged to Padres center fielder Jody Gerut until he donated it to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Monday night.
Gerut notched not only the first official hit in the history of Citi Field, the Mets' new showplace just feet from where Shea Stadium once stood, but that game-opening hit on the evening's third pitch was a home run, adding to the significance of the feat.
After the game, Gerut was all too willing to rid himself of the bat that helped the Padres rain on the Mets' parade. Walking into the clubhouse with Gerut and Padres shortstop David Eckstein, I told Jody that David could vouch for the care his bat would receive.
"David's spikes from the '02 [World] Series are in Cooperstown," I said.
"Yep," David added, "And my cap, too." (The cap coming from his role as the little engine that could in propelling the '06 Cardinals to a title.)
In having his bat immortalized forever in Cooperstown, Gerut didn't resist the chance to part with the bat, not trying to milk one or two more clutch hits from this supposed good-luck charm.
"You want this?" Gerut asked me after the game. "Man, this is a lousy bat, go right ahead."
And with that declaration, Gerut's bat, along with the ceremonial first-pitch ball thrown by Hall of Famer Tom Seaver and caught by legendary catcher Mike Piazza, and a Dunkin' Donuts cup full of dirt from home plate taken after the game, are en route to their eternal home in Cooperstown this morning, where fans will soon be able to witness these treasures as part of our Today's Game exhibit.
For Gerut, despite his displeasure with his bat, the moment means his donation will be forever linked with some of the greatest names of all time. And he'll have the added satisfaction of being the answer to the trivia question, "Who collected the first hit in Citi Field history?"
The honor of the moment, though, is the lasting lesson from a great night for the gracious Gerut. After I had departed the Padres clubhouse last night, Gerut told my good friend Tim Sullivan, columnist for The San Diego Union-Tribune, "In the end, it is a very humbling experience to have any part of your equipment in the Hall of Fame. That's special."
For Jody, being a part of baseball history will be a special moment in his life, as one day he'll look back at the feat with a sense of pride. Today, he'll just be happy that the donation means a new bat. One he'll enjoy more than the one that ended up in Cooperstown.
Brad Horn is the senior director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

TMP soccer takes loss

The Thomas More Prep-Marian boys' soccer team has proven repeatedly this season it can play with the best -- at least for a half.
This was the story yet again in TMP's 3-0 home loss to visiting Garden City on Tuesday.
The game was 1-0 at halftime.
"We haven't finished well all year," TMP soccer coach Shawn Lawson said.
"Second half we don't have enough energy; there isn't enough chemistry and teamwork. I've got a few guys that have never played soccer before that are starting. It's an adjustment."
With half of the roster being international students, Lawson is tasked with uniting not only young and inexperienced players, but also kids that come from many different cultural and language backgrounds.
In four games this season, TMP has competed well in each. At the Maize South Invitational last week, the Monarchs trailed McPherson 2-1 at half, Hays High was 1-1, and they led Augusta 1-0.
TMP would eventually lose all three games by scores of 7-1, 5-1 and 2-1.
The Monarchs were in a similar position against Class 6A Garden City on Tuesday, which netted only one goal in the first half, the score coming in the 18th minute from Eric Barragan.
But the Garden City attack kept coming. The Buffaloes added two goals within five minutes of each other in the second half to break the game open. The first came unassisted from David Amaro in the 17th minute, the second from David Fuentes in the 22nd minute.
If it weren't for the solid play of TMP goalkeeper Collan Lawson, it could have been much worse.
"I thought we dominated the game. We missed a lot of shots. I don't think 3-0 is a good indicator of what it could have been," Garden City coach Joaquin Padilla said.
"But they had a good goalkeeper and they gave us a fight. We didn't take advantage of the opportunities that we had."
TMP didn't have many opportunities to score on its end and likely won't going forward. The team isn't deep at the ball skills positions, and intends to put most of its focus on playing solid defense and striking on the few chances it does get.
The schedule hasn't helped TMP either. The Monarchs have had trouble getting teams to travel to Hays for games, and have loaded up on Class 5A and 6A schools, putting the 3A Monarchs at a disadvantage.
But TMP also hopes this rigorous schedule will payoff when regionals roll around.
"It's been better than what it is was the first week at the Maize South tournament," Shawn Lawson said of the team's improvement. "You go out and take your lumps from the big boys and hope when it comes regional time we play our competition well."

Well, ya all missed out. I had the motherboard and cpu in the [FS] thread for a week - combo deal for $260 and the only responses I got was one guy who thought he could buy both for $170 and another one who said that he would just buy an i5 and socket 1155 motherboard for those prices......... hmm whateverI don't think you have enough PCI-E slots on the motherboard. Best you get a new one... I'm very willing to take the old one off your hands as well.
This combo is a genuine 4.56Ghz for benching under water and runs 4.1Ghz 24/7. As solid a motherboard & cpu combination as I've ever had. Both components are still selling for over $250 a piece new for those so inclined to stick with slightly older generation chipset. Anyway, JR is happy with the purchase and I know the gear is going to someone who will get some use out of it and really appreciate his new rig.
The nice thing is he gets into this whole new setup for less than 1k when it's all said and done.

AL 300 Rapid Battery Charger
Offers faster charge times for all STIHL Lithium-Ion batteries
Your advanced STIHL Battery KombiSystem deserves an equally advanced charger. The STIHL AL 300 rapid battery charger fits that bill perfectly. Designed to charge your STIHL Lithium-Ion batteries in approximately 25 minutes*, the AL 300 is exactly what you need to power through your lawn care tasks. It features an onboard cooling fan and bright LED display to indicate current charge level. This smart charger even switches off automatically once your battery is fully charged.
*Charge time approximated using STIHL AP 80 Lithium-Ion batteries. Charge times may vary.
You Will Also Need
For extended landscaping tasks, the STIHL AP 160 Lithium-Ion battery is designed for longer run times than the AP 80. Plus, the AP 160 also delivers twice the amp hours over standard Lithium-Ion batteries, making it ideal for extended use. This 36-volt battery keeps your equipment running at full speed until it's depleted. No gradual drops in power. And thanks to its LED charge display, you know just how much juice you have to work with.
The AP 160 weighs a mere 3.8 lbs., and can be charged hundreds of times without any noticeable loss in capacity. Even after 500 charges, the battery retains over 80% capacity. The secret is in its engineering. The battery features specialized voltage monitors and temperature sensors to help ensure optimal operation and a long service life.
Now, you don't need to carry multiple batteries for those large outdoor projects. The STIHL AR 900 backpack battery delivers exceptional run times to professional landscapers and those with large acreage. Part of the innovative STIHL Battery KombiSystem, the AR 900 features more than 10x the capacity of the AP 80. That means up to eleven hours of run time for products like the HSA 66 hedge trimmer, increasing the size of jobs that can be tackled with maximum efficiency. The battery weighs about 15 pounds, and the comfortable shoulder straps, hip belt and chest strap distribute the weight evenly reducing operator fatigue. The operator can use the LED indicator lights to check battery charge status before starting a job. No more running out of power halfway through the job.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have a friend just diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She is a childhood diabetic. How does chemotherapy effect diabetic patients?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
In general, chemotherapy does not affect diabetic patients in a special way. However, some special considerations do apply. Common chemotherapy drugs like Taxol and carboplatin are most commonly mixed in intravenous fluid containing dextrose (a sugar). If a patient is a particularly brittle diabetic with difficult glucose control, the drugs may be mixed in saline without dextrose instead. She may need to check her blood glucose levels more frequently on the days of her treatments and discuss possible adjustments to her insulin regimen with her physician. Also, if she becomes nauseated or has trouble keeping food down, she should check her blood glucose levels more frequently and her insulin may need to be adjusted accordingly. All patients (with or without diabetes) are monitored closely for their reaction to chemotherapy.
Doses may be adjusted based on side effects. If your friend has other medical conditions commonly associated with diabetes (heart disease, renal failure, etc) her physicians will consider this when treating her with chemotherapy.
Dec 7, 2010 - Rituximab may be a better option than watchful waiting in some lymphoma patients, and a new treatment option appears effective for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma, according to two studies being presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology, held from Dec. 4 to 7 in Orlando, Fla. Other research being presented will highlight new options for the standard treatment of advanced asymptomatic follicular lymphoma; mantle cell lymphoma; and early, unfavorable Hodgkin's disease.

SVC obstruction is a narrowing or blockage of the superior vena cava -- the second largest vein in the human body. The superior vena cava moves blood from the upper half of the body to the heart.
Superior vena cava obstruction; Superior vena cava syndrome
Superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction is a relatively rare condition.
Most often it is caused by cancer or a tumor in the mediastinum (the area of the chest under the breastbone and between the lungs).
The types of cancer that can lead to this condition include:
Superior vena cava obstruction can also be caused by noncancerous conditions that cause scarring. These conditions include:
Other causes of superior vena cava obstruction include:
Catheters placed in the large veins of the upper arm and neck may cause blood clots in the superior vena cava.
Symptoms occur when something blocks the blood flowing back to the heart. They may begin suddenly or gradually, and may worsen when you bend over or lie down.
Early signs include:
The swelling will most likely be worse in the early morning hours and go away by mid morning.
The most common symptoms are shortness of breath (dyspnea) and swelling of the face, neck, trunk, and arms.
Other possible symptoms include:
An examination may show enlarged veins of the face, neck, and upper chest. Blood pressure is often high in the arms and low in the legs.
A bronchoscopy (a lighted tube placed through the mouth into the windpipe and lungs) may be performed if lung cancer is suspected.
Blockage of the SVC may be visible on:
This disease may also affect the results of the following tests:
The goal of treatment is to relieve the blockage.
Diuretics (water pills) or steroids may be used to relieve swelling .
Other treatment options may include radiation or chemotherapy to shrink the tumor, or surgery to remove the tumors. Surgery to bypass the obstruction is rarely performed. Placement of a stent to open up the SVC is available at some medical centers.
The outcome varies depending on the cause and the amount of blockage.
SVC syndrome caused by a tumor is a sign that the tumor has spread, and it indicates a poorer long-term outlook.
The throat could become blocked, which can block the airways.
Increased pressure may develop in the brain, leading to changed levels of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, or vision changes.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of SVC obstruction. Complications are serious and can sometimes be fatal.
Prompt treatment of other medical disorders may reduce the risk of developing SVC obstruction.

Walter, of course, is my absolute favorite, and I had met with pretty much every company, television broadcast company in America.

YOUNGSTOWN MINISTER GIVES REASON CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT AFFILIATE WITH ORDER SAYS, CHRISTIANITY MUST BE FOR ALL (Special to Louisville Leader.) Youngstown, Ohio, Dec. 7.--"Zeal without knowledge," is how Rev. F. F. Reade, pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church. characterized the ardor of the Ku Kluxers, in a sermon delivered Sunday morning. He enumerated the reasons why a Christian should not affiliate with the Klan as follows: "They have a zeal of making converts to their religion, if it is truly Christian, must have a universal appeal. "The claim is made that religion of the Klan is Christian. 'It (the Klan ritualism) unfolds a spiritual philosophy that has to do with the very fundamentals of life and living, here and hereafter.' Again: 'At every lodge meeting Jesus Christ is lauded and his teachings expounded and the constitution and regulations of the order set forth that the living Christ is the Klansman's criterion of character.' (A B C of the Ku Kluk Klan issued by the Klan press of Atlanta, Ga.) Edward Young Clark, Grand Wizard pro tem. says the Klan is "a secret organization sworn to....perpetuate Christianity." Must Be For All. "Christianity, if offered at all, must be offered to all. No agency was ever empowered by Christ to offer His salvation to one class only. "To the Jew first," said Paul, "and also to the Greek." Christ's command was, "Go ye therefore, and take disciples of all the nations." The offer was always made on the basis of a universal appeal. The first Christian society ever organized consisted of Parthians, Medes, Elamites, etc., as well as Jews, Romans and Libyans (descendants of Ham.. "When one of the apostles became a bit clannish he was rebuked both by fellow apostles and by a vision from God which informed him that he had no right to make distinctions where the Holy Spirit had made none. Yet, the Klan makes its offer to a limited class. The Imperial Klokand, W. J. Mooney, says, "This is a gentile organization and as such has as its mission the interpretation of the highest ideals of the White Gentile peoples.' That, of course, shuts out the Jew. "Again, he says, 'This is a white man's organization, exalting the Caucasian race and teaching the doctrine of white supremcy.' That, of course settles the case of all colored races. "Again, only those born in the United States, who are '100 per cent American,' can become members of the Klan. That cuts out all foreign born peoples, including your humble servant who chanced to be born under the British flag. If the Klan wishes to be a close corporation, that is a privilege it has. But let it be done as a purely social organization, or a purely political organization. Let it not be done as a religious organization. Let not the Klan assume the prerogatives of the church while it bars, at the same time, from membership, those whom the church has no right to shut out, provided they be confessors of Christ. Any spiritual organization that that refuses to propagate itself through the Christian universa l appeal must be anti-Christian. Racial Prejudice "Secondly, they have a zeal for magnifying the white race, whereas the Bible teaches that men are of one blood. Ancient Israel had somehow gotten the notion that they were the favorites of Heaven and destined to rule the world, and they had a zeal for religion based upon this narrow conception. Christ and His apostles disabused their mind with references to any such beilef. The Klan seems to be obcessed with a similar conception with reference to the white race, whose superiority and supremacy, as the representatives of Christian chivalry it insists upon. Part of the Ku Klux Klan reads as follows: 'We shall ever be true in the faithful maintenance of white supremacy and will strenuously oppose any compromise thereof in any and all things.' The Imperial Klokard adds, 'This is a white man's organization--exalting the Caucasian race and teaching the doctrine of white supremacy....All of Christian civilization depends upon the preservation and upbuilding of the white race.' "One thing I would like to inquire is who, in the opinion of the Klan authorities, constitutes the Caucausian race. Students of anthropolgy include in this classification some who are dark skinned as, for example, the Hindus and certain inhabitants of the Malay Peninsula. But Klan spokesmen have insisted that there must be no compromise with black, red, yellow or brown. Perhaps they would limit the appellation to the Japhetic peoples, thus relegating to the class of inferior peoples the descendants of the other two sons of Noah. That would, of course, cut out the Arab and the Jew, who are Semitic people. If that be the purpose, what shall be done with Moses and Isaiah and David and John and Paul--men whose influence upon the race for eternal good is unquestioned--to say nothing of Jesus Christ who was also a Jew? "Another thing I would like to know is how we, if our church should take the Klan position, can expect to carry on successfully our mission work Continued on page 8) Kentucky's Reliabl and Most Proo essive ew paper, The Largest Circulation.

THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT stars Jason Segel (THE MUPPETS) and Emily Blunt (SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN) as a couple whose relationships is pushed to breaking point during their prolonged engagement.
Although saying their vows are very much at the forefront of their minds, a chain of unexpected events scuppers their plans. As the months turn to years Tom and Violet become increasingly downbeat about the notion of matrimony, and as their problems mount their friends and families begin to lose hope of ever seeing them walk down the aisle together.
A romantic comedy that ticks all the right boxes from GET HIM TO THE GREEK director Nicholas Stoller.

Folks, how cool is my mother in law? So cool, she got me this for Christmas:
Moonshine! White dog! Rotgut! White lightning! Hooch! Fire water! Mountain dew!
Academically speaking, corn whiskey, made from a mashbill of a government-mandated-minimum 81 percent corn (with rye and malted barley making up the difference) that usually sees the inside of a charred oak barrel exactly never. In other words, it's a sort of bastardized, unaged bourbon (which requires at least 51 percent corn in its mashbill and some time sittin' in charred oak).
On a swing through Kentucky last year, Sean and I sipped some at the Buffalo Trace distillery (aka ZOMG NIRVANA), which hadn't yet started wide-scale distribution of its White Dog (as it was labeled), and in fact couldn't even keep up with demand at the distillery gift shop. I remember it tasting cockily abrasive, running-on-fumes heady, but quite likely that was me letting the liquor's reputation precede itself. It's called "dog" for the same reason it's been called "lightning": because it barks at'cha, when it's not rippin' you to shreds.
Now that corn whiskey has become white-hot, cocktail recipes that incorporate it have started popping up online, which was just what I needed for my reintroduction and de-intimidation: To combine my corn whiskey with even more liquor! (Man, do I sometimes worry I have a problem.) Even better, I loved the sound of this White Manhattan, which I found on a South African online food mag called Spill.
Turned out I liked the taste of it, too — like, a hella lot — and, as a nice bonus, the color came out a gorgeous yolky-sunrise shade.
The White Manhattan
(Adapted from Spill)
1 3/4 ounces Georgia Moon Corn Whiskey
1/2 ounce B&B
1/2 ounce Cinzano Extra dry Vermouth
3 dashes Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with a few ice cubes (the larger, the better). Stir vigorously with a bar spoon for about 10 seconds. Pour into a cocktail glass.
Tasting Notes:
I changed two things from Spill's recipe. One, I used B&B instead of just B (as in Benedictine), simply because I didn't have any plain-B in the house. So I had to come up with a Plan B! HA! Two, I used rhubarb bitters instead of orange bitters, mainly because I was worried orange bitters would muddy-up the color.

4 Still the best survival horror gamenickname88 | 08/04/2012 | See all nickname88's reviews (3)I was dissapointed with homecoming, but Downpour improved on every aspect of homecoming that I hated and is a fantastic game.The atmosphere is excellent as always, the puzzles are as good as the old school silent hills and the fighting is a lot better than Homecoming. I also enjoyed the storyline, it was as good as the story of silent hill 2.Negatives of this game are it's glitchy (although to be honest this never really affected play and I didn't find this annoying), the evil world is not as scary as previous games, you just run around trying to escape an evil mist thing and the games saves so much I don't find it as scary as the first four games. Personally, the thing that made the original silent hill and resident evil games scary for me was the restricted saving and weapons but these things are never an issue in this game, making it a lot easier.I was also very annoyed by the fact you lose your items near the end of the game as I had saved all my pistol ammo and health packs only to have them unfairly taken, this was probably the only thing I really hated about this game (and why I'm not giving it a 5*). So, don't bother saving ammo and health!One last thing, the combat in this game is excellent, although I tended to run more than fight (to conserve ammo, grrr). The axe works a treat and I made sure to try and have one at all times.
5 Awesomexboxgod | 02/10/2012 | See all xboxgod's reviews (3)This is an amazing game, if you were put off by homecoming, downpour is so much better. This is a game that you never want to end, the atmosphere is gripping and the story is compelling. I love horror games and play them all the time and this one makes me not want to go through doors that have a strange noise on the other side. If you want a horror game that will freak you out and actually scare you at times this is the one for you ***** Best adventure game I've played all year

Remarkable it probably was. For our conversation didn't take place at an acronym event such as APTA, NARP, or RSI. It was rather a Saturday combined post-wedding reception/graduation celebration, deep in the still lush farmlands of New Jersey (not yet an oxymoron, folks, I'm pleased to say). Time to meet new extended-family in-laws and their friends a second time, to exchange homemade foodstuffs (my gift: real maple syrup), and to apologize upfront for being doomed to forget their names all too quickly. ("Me, too," some replied, laughing and kind.)
Time also to meet friends of my brothers-in-law, college buddies, fraternity brothers, and almost invariably auto enthusiasts of varying stripe. Somewhere along the way of mixing my XY chromosomes, one of my parents (my dad, maybe? He liked cars) didn't give me the right stuff to talk power and speed. Or, as I all too often see it, cars I used to own, cars I want to own, cars I'll never own, cars that guy owns, and not (all too often) cars I actually own in real life, blame the wife and kids, etc.
My car stories tend to revolve around not horsepower and speed and wow-how-reckless I was as an idiot kid, but rather what could be accomplished in miles-per-gallon of a 1961 Ford Falcon (thank you, Robert McNamara) or how much musical gear can be crammed into a VW bug. Tame stuff to offer amidst the tall tales of the Jaguar or Porsche (now sitting in the garage, brought out only for ceremonial events), or so on.
But back to my conversation with one of those frat brothers, who was discussing various (and interesting) non-auto items with me for some time, something I was enjoying. The inevitable pause ensued, at which point I pulled out the old, reliable conversational jump-start I resist using as an opener: "So what do you do?"
And the answer, "I'm in public transit," really did surprise me, for the gentleman offered it quietly, and with assurance – maybe even a hint of pride – that I wouldn't expect. Turns out he works for Hanover Displays, Inc. , based in Elk Grove Village, Ill., and the North American branch of its British-based parent. Hanover, he said, is one of "five or six companies" competing in the North American market for display signage on transit vehicles and properties (as seen in the photo above). "Too many for the field," he added, almost as an afterthought. "It'll change, thin out, sometime soon."
Of course, Hanover hopes to be one of the survivors, and I asked what kind of clients the company had. It wasn't hard to recognize some of the players at all: New York City Transit. LA Metro. Siemens Mobility. Most of that business involves bus signage, but my new acquaintance noted rail is a growing (if small) part of the mix.
That was my cue, of course, to mention what I do for a living, which brought a round of polite queries, and then agreement between us that more and better public transit (bus and rail) is a must for a healthy U.S. I warmed at the idea that, for both of us (certainly as I understood my new friend), it wasn't just the job and the money; we really wanted to believe that.
Hence the story the man told of a recent trip to Barclays Center in Brooklyn to catch the NBA Nets (before the team was eliminated from this year's playoffs). The gentleman let his son do the trip planning, since all rational minds know accessing Barclays by automobile isn't a very good idea. The son, using 21st century apps with some old-tech (maps) mixed in, guided his father and party by bus and subway – "I let him do it; for him it was easy. And it was easy," the man emphasized. "It may be a generational thing; public transit just isn't the ugly, rundown, anti-status mess it used to be. Makes me believe."
Me, too, but my brother-in-law, listening to a for-once unfamiliar subject matter for five minutes or so and perhaps bored by it all, ended any further ruminations. Smiling, he interjected, "We still need cars."
Right as rain, of course, especially when the only way to and from our day's gathering was by car. And rain it did on the long, dreary, nighttime trip back up the ever-expanding New Jersey Turnpike. Still, one can hope for better, I thought on the trip home. Or at least a better transport balance.
