�y - *. ^y. The College News >� v VOL. XXIV, No. 14 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1938 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1938 PRICE 10 CENTS t r Engel Lund Gives Recital df Songs From Many Nations Folk-Melodies Are Interpreted Sympathetically; Enlivened By Facial Antics PIANO ARRANGEMENTS ARE SKILLFULLY DONE Goodhart, February 8.�Madame Engel Lund, her face beaming with a contagious enthusiasm for her task, gave a recital of folk songs delightful in their variety, and fascinating in their intimate revelation of many pe- culiarly national characteristics. Her Summer School Aims At Constructive Work Scientific Treatment of Labor Problems is Emphasized selections included cradle songs, drink- member of society, to encourage her (Especially'contributed by Martha Van Hoeaen, 'S9.) Miss Thomas was the first to con- ceive of the idea of using the Bryn Mawr College buildings and campus in the summer time for a school for women workers in industry. In 1921 the project was started under the lead- ership of Dean Hilda W. Smith, of Bryn Mawr, and a Joint Administra- tive Committee composed of represen- tatives of Bryn Mawr College and of women in industry. Its purpose was to "give the student an opportunity for development as a responsible ing songs, counting songs,�com- ing-for the most part from the Scan- dinavian countries and the British Isles, although there was a group ot- French and a group of Yiddish ones. All were interpreted with an under- standing which results from an in- tuitive grasp of the spirit of folk- lore combined with investigation on the subject. Madame "Lund, born in Iceland of Danish parents, at first studied voice with an eye to regular concert work, but became so absorbed in the collect- ing of folk-songs that she decided to devote all her energies to their inter- pretation�a decision which was for- tunate, for her voice, which completely adequate to the purpose to which it is now put, is not unusual either for its tone-quality, or for its range. However, assisted as it is by her ex- pressive facjrf antics, Madame Lund's renditions are delightful. Each selection was prefaced by a short account of its content, and the conditions under which it was form- erly sung. The first group; that'of Icelandic songs, was interpreted most sympathetically of all. The German group presented a wide variety in its group of three selections: The song of a maiden who has dreamed of her lover's death (Der Schivere Traum), plaintive in its lyric, in its melody, and in its delivery; a cradle song (Schlaf, Kindchen BaUle), and Die Vogelhochzeit, the Birds' Wedding, a comic number which in its multitude of amusing characters gave Madame Lund ample opportunity "for mimicry. The Yiddish songs were rather dif- ferent from those that had gone be- fore; they were heavier and did not attain, even in their most light-heart- ed moments, the complete joyfulness Continued on Page Four to discover her talents and resources in order to make some creative use of them." As I think p^er the course of a typical day la�t summer, it seems to me that the school works continually with this purpose in mind. Every morning was devoted to classes in English, science, dramatics and economics, among which econom- ics was the center of interest. Work- ing with women who have considerable industrial experience, the faculty of the school attempts not so much to instill new faote. as to teach working women how to WU with the facts they already know. Difficulties of wage scales, working^conditions, and union organization, because they have rele vance to all of industry, are studied as scientifically as possible. The afternoons were spent in rec- reation, study, and special projects. At first we had difficulty in persuad- ing the students to take time out tor recreation, but the optional projects in literature, writing, singing, art and dancing were supplementary sources of vitality. One of the most signifi- cant aspects of this summer was i. new project carried on by the second year students in their discussion of the problems of household-employees. In spite of the unique difficulties in attacking this situation through legis- lation or unionization, they laid a sound basis for further study. Since- then, in at least one city, a summer school alumna has formed a group in which women may meet with their domestic employees to discuss the problems involved in their relation ship. The evening was crowded with the special discussion groups that could not be fitted into the day. Saturday nights were usually spent in givinu the plays which were organized Continued on Page Four COLLEGE CALENDAR � Saturday, February 19.� Freshman Show of the Class of 1941, Goodhart, 8.20.

Bailenson TEACHERS' SALARIES CUT Rock Basement Labors Behind Scenes To Keep College Mails, Menus in Order Trusty Pasquale Has Delivered �Campus Mail About the Halls Since A. D. 1902 \-/ The post and business office in Rockefeller has long been a mystery. It is known officially as Rockefeller Basement, and in spite of its lowly title, takes care of many important duties. TheE�f-food orders are sent out, valuable packages received, pay- rolls made up, and requisitions re- corded. Six clerks are employed, and Miss Howard, chief clerk, casts her calm and careful eye. U. S. marl trucks deliver specific- ally directed mail to the halls. The rest they leave in Rockefeller to be sorted and readdressed with a finding list. These letters, along with marks, summons from the Dean, minute slips of paper arranging for inter-student teas and reprimands from Miss Ter- rien, are then sent out to the halls twice daily. The campus postman is Pasquale Falcone, who has been at college be- tween 30 and 35 years. He was a trusty henchman of Miss Thomas back in frontier days. Now he is a trusty henchman of Mr. Foley, Superinten- dent, who is noted for his efficiency. Moreover, he has not as yet been bored to extinction by his daily tramps from hall to hall. Taylor has a mail system all its own carried by Miller who delivers and collects at set inter- vals, a living proof that those stone walls do traffic with the outside world. Packages sometimes come hurtling at your door while again a non-com- mittal card bids you come down over the hill and get them between nine and five. The explanation is simple; insured packages must be signed for, others are sent straight out from the village. Further mystery clearance: One must sign for one's own goods only because a former student, in a pet with her roommate, went down to get the latter's package. It turned out to B*� a chocolate cake. In anger she ate it.. Anything unclaimed goes to the post office. Between five and ten let- ters come in every day for people no longer here, or who have not as yet arrived. Before such letters are given up as lost hopes, Mrs. Turner, who gives out packages, telephones all sur- rounding private schools, the Dean- ery and Miss Park's house. Then, if nothing is disclosed, she returns thero to the Dead Letter Office. At present she has in her possession three letters for one Miss Nancy Sibley Wilkins, the three being from Dillon Mont.; South Bend, 111.; and Detroit, Mich. Any information about the young lady of such widespread acquaintences will be appreciated. Continued on Pa*e Three Common 'Room, February 10.� Mary Foley Grossman, vice-president of the National Association of Teach- ers, at a meeting of the A. S. U., pre- sented some new aspects of the Philadelphia School Crisis. After outlining the political and economic reasons for existing conditions, she explained the system of public educa- tion as it stands, " and suggested further expansion needed. After Mrs. Grossman's lecture, Eleanor Bailenson, '39, gave a report of the work of the A. S. U. Investigation Committee. There is, Mrs. Grossman feels, a growing hostility to education on the part of big business in this country, which was expressed in the argument ,of the House over the Federal Aid Bill. The general public, apathetic to this sentiment, has already allowed it to assume actual significance, as cuts in appropriations, fewer cultural classes and lower salaries. In Junior High, Schools pre-voca- tional classes have been introduced into which duller children are put without, as formerly, their parent's permission. Here they have a mini- mum of reading," writing and arith- metic, supplemented by shops, cooking and handwork. Such separation Mrs. Grossman emphasized is apt to make the child recalcitrant, and does little to prepare him as a voter. The Mayor in his investigation of schools found more than 85 fads and frills which could be eliminated.,. All appropriations for libraries have been stopped, as well as school lunches and athletic equipment. Moreover, the governor has asked for the reductions of certain taxes which for years have been delegated to the supporUof public schools. Mrs. Grossman assured her audi- ence that .this widespread move against education is not due to re- cession and money panic; but to a well-planned campaign, which will be brought out by the Residents' Advisory Committee of Education. Their re- port will be published before Febru- ary 15. ConUnued on Pa*e Two Common Room, February 9.�Mr. .R. R. Genois, Philadelphia director of education under the W. P. A., led tUe Industrial Group in an elementary discussion of capitalism. He sees this recession as further evidence that the capitalistic system has ceased to work. Capitalism depends on borrowed money. It is necessarily a dynamic process, always expanding, and is best illustrated by a spiral. When expand- sion is no longer possible, the process stands still. In Europe, Fascism has arisen chiefly, he says, tg maintain capitalistic society in this static con*, dition. The methods of Communism would also serve to sustain such a system. To give a clear picture of capital- ism, Mr. Genois represented- it in the "pure" state. In a hypothetical busi- ness 100 million units of wealth, that is, commodities or services, are pro- duced. These sell for 100 million dollars of which 30 millions go/Tor rent, overhead, taxes and dividends, 65 for wages and five for profit. This last five million is the basis of capi- talism. In Adam Smith's economy this amount is first saved and then reinvested. Here the "pure" differs from the actual capitalism. Actually the business borrows, on -the strength of the future profits, long before they are earned. In times of prosperity the amount borrowed is greater than the projected profit, in depression! it is less, since there are fewer tempting investments. No very good explanations for the collapses of this system have been de- vised. The so-called Production In- dex shows a similarity between the Depression and the Recession. When 100 is normal, the JjlScx fell from 119 in 1928, to 24 in 1932. A year ago it had risen to 117 and is now at 89. Further -evidence, Mr. Genois claimed, that capitalism has stopped working, is that where in 1928 we had two. million unemployed, in last year's peak there were eleven million. President Roosevelt's projects made the system seem to work for a while. The fallacy in the "priming the pump" theory of relief, says Mr. Genois, is that this money is producing no wealth. He sees only work relief as justifiable. In answer to questions Mr. Genois explained that it is as much to the interest of ^he "50 families" to have a depression now and then as to have prosperity. When borrowing is great, money spreads widely; during collapse- it concentrates in the hands of the rich. "--------------� Plan for New Hall Decorations Given At Council Meeting Change of Penalty for Cutting Pre- and Post-Vacation Classes Proposed ��� r LIBRARY OF RECORDS CONSIDERED POSSIBLE Mr. Genois does not believe that the recession results from a deliberate strike of Big Business. Last year's fear of a steel strike under the C. I. O. induced many industries tp buy un- usual inventories' of steel which are now blocking the market. German Clubs Cast Play The German Clubs of Bryn Mawr and Haverford are giving a play for the Intercollegiate German Day to be held here on April 23. It will be Schlcgel's comedy Die Dumme Schon- hrit, or "Beautiful But Dumb." CAST Richard, an old prosperous country gentleman William H. Clark, Jr., '38 Jungwitz, a young prosperous coun- try gentleman Louis James Velte, Jr., '38 Jakob, Jungwitz' servant William Velte, *41 Lakonius, a philosopher Henry Cox, '38 Frau Praatgern, a burgher's widow Ruth Lilienthal, '40 Charlotte, Richard's daughter Ruth Mary Penfield. '40 Leonore, Frau Praatgern's daughter ^ Martha DeWitt, '41 Kathrine, Frau Praatgern's servant Hildegarde Hunt, '41 College Inn, Thursday, February 10.�The effect of the new 44 hour week labor laws in Pennsylvania on the college schedules was explained by Miss Charlotte Howe at the Febru- ary meeting of the College Council this evening. Miss Howe also re- ported on the work of the Decoration - Committee for the new dormitory. Julia Grant, '38, and Sarah Meigs, '39, the undergraduate members of the Decoration Committee have been choosing the furniture for the bed- rooms, which will consist of a cot bed. designed, as Miss Ward suggested "to look like a couch by day and feel like a bed by night," a chest, mirror, desk', desk chair, and lamp. The com- mittee has also looked at a combina- tion bookcase piece which will serve as headboard for the bed. It has been suggested that either Julia Grant or - Sarah Meigs shall try living with the furniture in her room for a short time. The downstairs rooms are to be decorated in as plain a style as possible, and no particular period. Emphasis is to be on comfort and color. The architect is cooperating with the decorators in making certain changes in the plans. Julia Grant reported that the list of People transferring to the new hall Is finished and posted. No com- plaints about the decision had been received. The plan of the new dormi- tory will go into the book of plans of campus buildings which will probably be sent out to the applicants for ad- mission this ujeek. Miss Howe's report on the new schedules for the college servants il- lustrated the means by which the resident halls, gymnasium, Taylor, and the library have solved the prob- lem of adapting the compulsory 12 hour working span to a 16 hour day. All the women servants have been put on the 44 hour week schedule, but the system for the men has not yet been entirely worked out. Cost for new help required by this law�will probably be about 1,8.00 dollars. Mrs. Chadwick-CottwnTNsaid the months of March and April will be given over to the campaign to- raise money for the Mrs. Otis Skinner Workshop. She said that the New York alumnae and the Baldwin School have begun trying to collect money, and that she hopes there will also be enthusiasm among the students here. Miss Park and Miss Howe said that they have continued the investigations on the cost of a record library. Records are not only very expensive, but also very easily damaged, and Miss Park would like to find out how much money would be needed for an adequate- _ maintenance fund for the library in* addition to whatever rental or mem- bership charge there might be. Mr. Alwyne has suggested that if a li- brary is established the halls be pro- vided with good electric victrolas, be- cause playing records on cheap vic- trolas is bad for them. Miss Park feels there is a possibility of using some music department funds to help the halls pay for good victrolas if the students themselves will pay half the price. Miss Ward said that the Petitions Committee has been considering sub- stituting a different penalty for the extra hours oC*eading in the case of Continued on Pe*e Three Dr. Hart to Lead Chapel Dr. Hornell Hart, an ex-professor^} at Bryn Mawr, will lead chai>el foiw-" the next three weeks.

Angioedema is swelling that is similar to hives , but the swelling is under the skin instead of on the surface.
Hives are often called welts. They are a surface swelling. It is possible to have angioedema without hives.
Angioneurotic edema; Welts
Angioedema may be caused by an allergic reaction . During the reaction, histamine and other chemicals are released into the bloodstream. The body releases histamine when the immune system detects a foreign substance called an allergen .
In most cases, the cause of angioedema is never found.
The following may cause angioedema:
Hives and angioedema may also occur after infections or with other illnesses (including autoimmune disorders such as lupus, and leukemia and lymphoma).
A form of angioedema runs in families and has different triggers, complications, and treatments. This is called hereditary angioedema .
The main symptom is sudden swelling below the skin surface. Welts or swelling on the surface of the skin can also develop.
The swelling usually occurs around the eyes and lips. It may also be found on the hands, feet, and throat. The swelling may form a line or be more spread out.
The welts are painful and may be itchy. This is known as hives (urticaria). They turn pale and swell if irritated. The deeper swelling of angioedema may also be painful.
Other symptoms may include:
The health care provider will look at your skin and ask you if you have been exposed to any irritating substances. A physical exam might reveal abnormal sounds (stridor ) when you breathe in if your throat is affected.
Blood tests or allergy testing may be ordered.
Mild symptoms may not need treatment. Moderate to severe symptoms may need to be treated. Breathing difficulty is an emergency condition.
People with angioedema should:
Cool compresses or soaks can relieve pain.
Medications used to treat angioedema include:
If the person has trouble breathing, seek immediate medical help. A severe, life-threatening airway blockage may occur if the throat swells.
Angioedema that does not affect the breathing may be uncomfortable, but is usually harmless and goes away in a few days.
Call your health care provider if:
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have:

Microsoft has taken steps to increase the security of businesses and consumers using a number of products.
Some 57 patches have been released to address potential vulnerabilities in solutions such as Windows, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office.
The latest Patch Tuesday update included twelve 'security bulletins' which address 52 vulnerabilities and exposures.
Of the bulletins, five had a 'critical' rating and a further seven were classified as 'important'.
Microsoft issued 22 acknowledgements along with the bulletins, recognising the assistance of outsiders in fixing the vulnerabilities. These are often reported confidentially to the firm, prior to collaboration on finding a solution. According to IT analyst Gartner, an increasing number of businesses are purchasing security solutions in the cloud.
The firm believes increased adoption of cloud-based computing is expected to impact the way security is consumed.
"The popularity and increased adoption of cloud-based security services, albeit at different degrees, will influence the shape of future security marketplaces," said Ruggero Contu, research director at Gartner.
"Deployments of virtualisation, and its replacing of traditional physical hardware platforms, are expected to impact the deployment model of future network security capabilities."

The milk t-disc does not empty fully so not only do you get a smaller cup of coffee but when you go to remove the t-disc the leftover milk spills everywhere and makes a mess. Also the end cappuccino ends up tasting watery and not creamy probably due to the nonfat milk. I prefer the maxwell house cappuccino even with the extra calories.

When using the skinny cappuccino creamers, I find that there is still milk left. Sometimes the disc completely empties out, but other times it doesn't. I either shake the remaining liquid out into my coffee, or I'll run another cycle & stop it when it looks like only water is coming out. I clean my machine regularly using the cleaning disc & descale when indicated. Can anyone explain what may be the problem? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I too have this problem but tried Skinny Girl's suggestion and it worked! thanks so much.2 years, 1 month ago
This was happening to me too. I've found that once the machine runs it's normal cycle and the "Hold For More" option comes, if I press the button for one of two seconds, the machine will push the remaining milk out and empty the Disc. Try it and see if that works for you!3 years ago
It may be that the bar code area of disc needs to be smoothed out before you insert the t-disc or maybe your bar code reading window needs cleaning? Or maybe poor lil Tassi cant ALWAYS get it absolutely correct EVERY time?3 years ago

Superintendent Demond Means to stay at Mequon-Thiensville
Mequon-Thiensville Superintendent Demond Means has taken himself out of the running for the superintendent position at the Shaker Heights School District in Ohio, the district said today in a news release.
Means had been selected as a finalist for the Shaker Heights position. At a meeting last week the School Board voted unanimously to state its support for Means and its interest in having him continue at Mequon-Thiensville, later delivering the statement in person.
On Sunday, Means informed the board of his decision to remove himself from consideration for the Shaker Heights job.
"The Board of Education is thrilled that he will stay in Mequon-Thiensville," Board President Suzette Urbashich wrote in the release, "and we look forward to working with him to advance in the best interests of our schools, students and community."

Ozaukee County to spend up to $1 million on lakefront development
Port Washington — Ozaukee County will spend up to $1 million to help finance a new lakefront nature preserve that will be a key selling point for an adjacent development that includes high-end homes, a vineyard and a winery, under a proposal approved Wednesday.
The Ozaukee County Board agreed to provide the funds for a $2 million purchase of 101 acres, including 1.25 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, in a semirural part of Port Washington. The nature preserve would be north of the county-owned Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve and would feature hiking trails.
The parcel is part of 227 acres, mainly farmland, that is mostly east of Highway C/Lake Shore Road, near Stonecroft Drive.
Chicago-area developer Tom Swarthout is buying the entire site. He plans to create the $50 million Cedar Vineyard mixed-use development, with 68 high-end homes and a vineyard east of Highway C, as well as five homes and a winery west of the road.
Swarthout is selling the nature preserve site, appraised at $3.4 million, to the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust. The trust eventually will turn over the preserve to Ozaukee County.

Brown Deer — Village officials have regained control of the former American TV and Appliance site in order to close a deal with two prospective users.
The village first purchased the 80,000-square-foot building and 10-acre lot at 6700 W. Brown Deer Road for $2.6 million in April 2014. Six months later, the village dropped its purchase offer with from Frontline Commercial Real Estate President John Schlueter, giving Schlueter the flexibility needed to market the property and attract new occupants. Now that Schlueter has found two tenants, the village on Monday repurchased the property for the same $2.6 million to ensure the deal goes through.
"The village thought the time to move forward was now, and we didn't want to lose those users," said Nate Piotrowski, the village's community development director. "There was some concern that the deal wouldn't happen if the village didn't take control of the property."
One user, a light manufacturing and warehousing company, would occupy the former American TV and Applicance building, as well as some additional land on the site. The second user, a retail store, would build a store on an outlot space along Brown Deer Road.
The village is negotiating sale contracts with those two companies, with an expectation that the deal will be finalized in the next 45 to 60 days, Piotrowski said. The sale of the property would be contingent upon the appropriateness of the users' proposed site plans, which would be decided by the Village Board.
Student radio station gets fuzzy reception in Whitefish Bay
Whitefish Bay — A proposal to start a Whitefish Bay student radio station was met with fuzzy reception from school administration, who feared the radio station could take away funds from other needs in the district.
The idea of a student-run radio station was first proposed by Whitefish Bay resident John Davis in November 2013, when he asked the school board to complete a FCC application for the 103.3 FM frequency that had recently become available. The school board agreed at that time to complete the application, with the understanding that the district was not obligated to construct a radio station or facilitate a radio program in the future.
The FCC approved Whitefish Bay's application in October, giving Whitefish Bay permission to broadcast on a transmission that would carry 3.5 miles and feature music, student talk shows and live broadcasts of Blue Dukes sports games. Since that time, the school district's administration has conducted a feasibility study that concluded a radio station would open the district up to potential expenses and liability.
To determine how much the radio station would cost, district administrators contacted Wisconsin's only two student-run radio stations, which are in Sheboygan and Burlington. Wisconsin does not have any purely extra-curricular student radio stations, so administrators did not have any examples of what an extra-curricular radio station format could look like in Whitefish Bay.

Glendale — The Nicolet F.E.A.R. robotics team finished in top ranks of a 59-team tournament last weekend.
The Nicolet team was part of a three-team alliance that scored second in the Northern Lights Regional in Duluth, Minn. This year's competition challenged three-team alliances to a recycling-themed game in which robots score points by stacking tote bins on scoring platforms, capping those stacks with recycling containers and disposing of foam pool noodles, which represent litter.
The team was also awarded the Underwriters Laboratories Safety Award, which celebrates teams that use innovative ways of eliminating hazards in the competition.
Adam Thiel, the team's lead mentor, said the team of 63 students, is starting to improve its rankings after three years in existence. Nicolet F.E.A.R. is now gearing up for the Wisconsin regional competition on March 19-21 at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
Shorewood boys basketball team beats Madison in regional, 63-60
Momentum lost, momentum found.
Shorewood boys basketball coach Phil Jones watched it go back and forth in the waning minutes of his team's 63-60 WIAA Division 2 regional quarterfinal win over Milwaukee James Madison Tuesday night.
"That's the key word, momentumn," he said. "We had to shift the momentum back when they got it. ...The kids got rattled for awhile and that's a little out of character for them, but they got it together in time, because the season is about ups and downs and making plays when you need them."
With the victory, the Greyhounds (13-10) advanced to a WIAA D2 regional semifinal at 7 p.m. Friday, March 6 at regional top seed Milwaukee Washington (17-5). Whitefish Bay is the number two seed on the other side of the bracket and the regional final is slated for Saturday night.
Jones would like to see the Greyhounds keep moving one foot in front of the other and making plays like the series of efforts that helped seal the deal down the stretch against Madison.

Glendale — The University of Wisconsin Marching Band will paint the Nicolet High School gymnasium red with Badger spirit on Saturday, March 7.
The Badger Band will come to Nicolet for the school's biannual Band Together fundraising concert, which benefits the four school district foundations of Fox Point-Bayside, Glendale-River Hills, Maple Dale-Indian Hill and Nicolet High School. The show will begin at 2 p.m., but attendees are encouraged to arrive an hour earlier for pre-concert festivities, including sports team mascots, concessions, an instrument petting zoo, a silent auction and a performance from a student rock band called Stacked.
The Band Together event started in 2011, and was held again in 2013. The two previous events each raised about $20,000, which was shared equally by the four school foundations . The funds are used to provide new technology, capital equipment and innovative school programming.
In addition to raising money for local schools, Nicolet band director Michael McDowell said the UW Marching Band puts on a great live show. He said the event creates an excitement about UW-Madison for students who are considering attending the university.
"Any connection that we can make to UW is a great way to bridge that transition," McDowell said.
» Read Full ArticleBrown Deer approves amendment to TIF district
Brown Deer — The Brown Deer Village Board unanimously approved an amendment to TIF District #2 that aims to spur redevelopment near Bradley Road and 47th Street.
The amendment would add 12 acres of land that includes the former Algonquin School site, the former Lighthouse of Brown Deer site and a small amount of land owned by Milwaukee County. A TIF district would allow the village to spend an estimated $3.5 million on land improvements designed to spur residential development.
The village plans to spend $1.4 million to buy the former Lighthouse of Brown Deer site from New Perspectives Senior Living, which is building a larger, four-story assisted living center on 60th Street, north of Brown Deer Road. Village officials also estimate they will spend $1.7 million to install sewer, water and other public utilities for future residential development. Any expenditures the village chooses to make would have to be made by 2017.
The village's expenditures would be recouped through the additional tax revenue generated by future development. Village officials estimate residential development on that 12 acres of land could create an estimated $5.5 million in additional value, including $1.5 million on the 3-acre Lighthouse site and $4 million on the 9-acre Algonquin School site.
The village, school district and other taxing bodies would not receive any of the additional tax revenue generated by future developments until the village's infrastructure costs are recouped, which is expected to happen in 2022.

No one knows when the last time the Shorewood girls basketball team won a WIAA regional title.
That information may be lost to the dusty pages of history.
All that coach Jeff Eimers and his over-achieving Greyhounds know, is that before a noisy home crowd backed by the boisterous Shorewood Pep Band, they made a little history Saturday night.
Some simply amazing history.
The Greyhounds used a stifling defense to hold visiting Whitefish Bay to just three second half field goals, only one of whch was scored when it mattered. They coupled that to an aggressive to-the-basket offense and were rewarded with a 52-40 WIAA D2 regional final victory.
» Read Full Article'Project Runway' star, fiancé mesh styles and make small Shorewood apartment work
When it was announced that local artist Miranda Levy would appear on Season 12 of "Project Runway" on Bravo TV, I attempted to reach her lots of ways. I finally connected with her via social media and remember thinking how poised she seemed in that 140-character realm.
Except that it wasn't her at all, I learned fairly quickly. It was her fiancé, Michael Adler, who convincingly channeled his significant other, virtually and sans the Bettie Page bangs, during her months of shooting the reality TV show.
"He still runs my Twitter feed," says Levy, who became known on the show for her pencil skirts and self-described "nerdy" looks. "He's a good partner. I think he knows me better than anyone does."
It isn't every couple that can share a Twitter account. Maybe that explains how these two artists who both create art at home can share a New York-sized apartment in Shorewood.
Adler is a musician and illustrator who studies computer engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and works full time. Levy is a fashion designer and artist who works for the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend.
» Read Full ArticleConstruction begins on Shorewood Metro Market project
Shorewood — Demolition began Tuesday, Feb. 24, on Shorewood's old Walgreens building, paving the way for a two-story Metro Market grocery store, a four-story parking garage and a six-story building on Oakland Avenue.
Once the Walgreens and neighboring Harry W. Schwartz Bookshop are demolished, construction crews will begin work on the Metro Market grocery store.
Shorewood's existing Pick 'n Save will remain open until May when demolition begins on that building.
In the fall, construction will begin on the six-story, mixed-use building featuring upscale apartments and 15,000 square feet of retail space.
The new development will occupy the entire two blocks between Kenmore and Olive Streets on the west side of Oakland Avenue, replacing the current Pick 'n Save and abandoned Schwartz and Walgreens facilities.
» Read Full ArticleShorewood school superintendent is a finalist for West Allis-West Milwaukee job
Shorewood — Shorewood School District Superintendent Marty Lexmond is one of three finalists for an open superintendent position in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District.
Lexmond said his interest in the West Allis-West Milwaukee position has nothing to do with a recent petition signed by more than 100 Shorewood residents urging the Shorewood School Board not to renew Lexmond's contract. Lexmond's contract automatically renewed on Feb. 1 for one year.
Lexmond said the opportunity in West Allis-West Milwaukee allows him to return to his roots in urban education. His career began with field experiences at North Division High School, seven years at Vincent High School and mentoring new teachers in Milwaukee middle schools.
Lexmond said his experience in Milwaukee Public Schools — combined with the leadership lessons he learned in Shorewood and Kohler — have given him skills to address challenges that come with a racially and economically diverse district such as West Allis-West Milwaukee.
"It's a district I've watched for quite a while. It provides a unique opportunity to bring together my experience in urban and suburban education," he said. "It's a really interesting opportunity that comes with greater diversity, larger size and more economic diversity."

West Allis-West Milwaukee superintendent include the superintendents at Shorewood and Greendale and a regional superintendent at Milwaukee Public Schools.
The finalists forShorewood Superintendent Marty Lexmond, Greendale Superintendent John Tharp and MPS Regional Superintendent Jesse Rodriguez met with parents and community members at the district Saturday, in a forum broadcast on Time Warner Cable Channel 13.
The West Allis-West Milwaukee School Board is scheduled to discuss the finalists tonight during a closed session meeting.
The board plans to name a new superintendent on or before April 1. That person will take over the district starting July 1.

Wrong-way drunken driver arrested on I-43
A 27-year-old woman was arrested for driving the wrong way on I-43 after leaving a Milwaukee nightclub early Sunday morning.
Traveling northbound in the southbound lane, Sade Franklin side-swiped another car near Capitol Drive and crashed into a median south of Hampton Avenue, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. The driver of the vehicle she struck said he saw the vehicle heading toward him and he attempted to swerve, but the wrong-way driver also swerved and struck him.
Glendale police and deputies arrested Franklin around 2:27 a.m. Sunday for drunken driving and recklessly endangering safety, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. Franklin told police she had one drink at Club 618 at 618 N. Water Street in Milwaukee, and then entered the freeway at the Highland Avenue off-ramp.
Germantown boys basketball team clinches outright NSC title
Over the course of the last nine extremely successful years, the three-time WIAA state champion Germantown boys basketball team has had to stare down moments like it faced Friday night on senior night at home against archrival Homestead.
The Highlanders had erased a 10-point third quarter deficit, and behind the mighty efforts of 6-7 forward Jaylen Key (26 points), had surged into a 51-47 lead with 7:32 left before a packed Germantown gym full of hoops' junkies.
In the past, Warhawk superstars like Ben Averkamp, Zak Showalter, Luke Fischer or Lamonte Bearden would have stepped to the fore to put an end to such nonsense.
But those guys are long gone to college or beyond.
Enter junior point guard Juwan McCloud, who now put up his name for consideration among those Warhawk greats. In that fourth quarter, he would hit in short succession, four 3-pointers, including one four-point play.

I have been running Windows 10 since the preview was released. My experience, so far, would be positive. It has been very smooth transition. As someone using a machine without a touchscreen, I would say it is a lot more functional than Windows 8/8.1. I still find the full screen apps lacking, but the operating system is smoother, overall, to me, and I enjoy using it.
I own, and generally enjoy using, a MacBook Pro 15. My only complaint on the MacBook is the lack of physical Home, End, Insert, and Delete keys. I have run Windows of various versions on it in the past using Parallels to great success.
Windows 10 has been happily living on my PC laptop, but I wanted to consolidate it, if I could, onto the MacBook Pro, so I could carry one thing. The resolution on the MacBook Pro is much higher as well and makes some of my work much easier. I am typing this on my Windows 10 VM that was restored onto Parallels on the MacBook Pro, and it's been working for a few days like a champ. I thought I would document the steps I took to move from the Physical machine to this Virtual machine if anyone else needed, as it was not that complicated once I located the information I needed.
That is the high level, now I'm going to go through the steps I took to get there.
One thing to note is that the Parallels tools need quite a few reboots. So if you are rebooting over and over again manually, you may think something is wrong, but it is probably fine. I wasn't being super observant, but I think it was 4 or 5 reboots that all looked like they did the same thing when they started.
This was my first time using the system image recovery tool, and I have to say compared to Time Machine, it's a bit ridiculous and convoluted. It *did* work though once I found the commands and figured out what to do. By contrast, when I got my new mac, I just pointed it at my Time Machine location (which setup found automatically for me) and pushed a button. I imagine a OSX VM would work the same way. Apple! Why don't you have HOMEENDINSERTDELETE KEYS!!! Then you would be perfect!

I recently had a need to mash-up some data from a SharePoint 2007 list in an Excel document I was working on. I already knew that I could work with SharePoint 2007 data in Excel by using the following instructions from Microsoft:
Do one the following on a SharePoint site: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 If your list is not already open, click its name on the Quick Launch. If the name of your list doesn't appear, click View All Site Content, and then click the name of your list. On the Actions menu , click Export to Spreadsheet. If you are prompted to confirm the operation, click OK. Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 If your list is not already open, click Documents and Lists, and then click the name of your list. On the page that displays the list, under Actions, click Export to spreadsheet. In the File Download dialog box, click Open. If you are prompted whether to enable data connections on your computer, click Enable if you believe the connection to the data on the SharePoint site is safe to enable. Do one of the following: If no workbook is open, Excel creates a new blank workbook and inserts the data as a table on a new worksheet. If a workbook is open, do the following in the Import Data dialog box that appears: Under Select how you want to view this data in your workbook, click Table, PivotTable Report, orPivotChart and PivotTable Report. Under Where do you want to put the data, click Existing worksheet, New worksheet, or New workbook. If you click Existing worksheet, click the cell where you want to place the upper-left corner of the list. Click OK.
If you click Existing worksheet, click the cell where you want to place the upper-left corner of the list.
That's all very well, but in my case I had an existing spreadsheet with quite a few tables and an existing excel model. I didn't want to go through these gyrations. Isn't there some way to just get the data right off the list as a web page?
Yes. Enter the "Import XML data" feature in Excel. MS Offers the following following guidance for getting XML data from a web service:
Import XML data from a Web service To do the following procedure, you must have access to a server that is running pnSTS11. A default installation of pnSTS11 provides a data retrieval service for connecting to data in SharePoint lists. A SharePoint site administrator can install the Microsoft Office Web Parts and Components to add additional data retrieval services for Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Business Solutions. The installation program for Microsoft Office Web Parts and Components is available from the Downloads on Microsoft Office Online. On the Data menu, point to Import External Data, and then click Import Data. Do one of the following: Open an existing data source Create and open a new data source connection Select one of the following options: XML list in existing worksheet The contents of the XML data file are imported into an XML list in the existing worksheet at the specified cell location. XML list in new worksheet The contents of the file are imported into an XML list in a new worksheet starting at cell A1. If the XML data file does not refer to a schema, then Excel will infer the schema from the XML data file. To control the behavior of XML data, such as data binding, format, and layout, click Properties which displays the XML Map properties dialog box. For example, existing data in a mapped range will be overwritten when you import data by default, but you can change this.
To do the following procedure, you must have access to a server that is running pnSTS11.

The installation program for Microsoft Office Web Parts and Components is available from the Downloads on Microsoft Office Online.
Open an existing data source
Create and open a new data source connection
The contents of the XML data file are imported into an XML list in the existing worksheet at the specified cell location.
The contents of the file are imported into an XML list in a new worksheet starting at cell A1.
But how to get the URL to call for the XML data? The following link holds the key:
You have to replace {0} with your site URL and the {1} with your GUID for the list ID on SharePoint and {2} with the view GUID. How to get these? Well the easiest way (I think) is to go to your list, then select the view you want. Click view dropdown and select "Modify this view." This will open the link to the screen where you can modify that view. The URL in the browser should have a View and List value. I stripped the %7B and %7D off as those are the { and } respectively. You don't need to use a view and can omit that completely if you want to connect directly to the list. But I found I normally wanted to just get a certain view or I wanted to create a special view just for this activity.
Regardless, you can now follow the auto prompts to get the data into a spreadsheet. You can also open the developer tab and dive into the XML itself (see the MS link above for more instructions) and drag and drop the fields to other locations. Now when you get the data it will put it wherever you bound it.
By default it will dump it into a table and will include the schema items which you don't need. You can open the Developer tab, select "Source" in the XML section and then just deselect the ns2 : Schema element. It will stop syncing those fields and you'll have to clean up your table to get rid of them. I was able to rename the columns etc as needed, but since this is a read only feed I was typically using it to calculate other columns so I frequently stick with the ows_* columns that are the defaults for the data element.
Screenshot of the XML section from Developer tab in Excel:
Once I figured out I needed to find the XML import stuff for Excel, I was able to find lots of articles on it online to help. The following was my favorite and links to a lot of other ones.

Well the non-whimsical title aside I must say "hats off " to those PowerShell gurus at Microsoft. You've made my live a bit easier. This quick post is a look at the New-SelfSignedCertificate CMDLET and how the PowerShell Certificate (CERT) Provider.
I realize both are rather self explanatory, the first creating a self signed certificate where as the other providing directory like interaction / access within PowerShell to the certificate stores. Essentially making the need to spin ye old mcc certificate console a moot point.
Suppose you're tasked with building a functional lab {insert Microsoft software title here} environment, naturally you want to automate as much as possible yet those pesky certificates cause you to break open IIS to create a self signed certificates. Sure, it's only an extra manual step or two but my take, why do manual when automation isn't but half the effort more?
That said what if the requirements are for a SharePoint 2013 LAB, with a functioning APP Model. The app model requirements bring along with it the requirements for wildcard certificates. Now I could be missing something but my testing within IIS8 didn't allow for specifying the FQDN (CN). I guess at this point, one could consider a few options. First one might be inclined to stand up a lab PKI(or leverage an existing one) Of course a more simple but costly route would be to use public certificates.
If time and money are constraints then our friendly neighborhood PowerShell cmdlet and CERT provider can quickly help us out. After all the New-SelfSignedCertificate will let us specify our DNS name or DNS names. Yes…That was plural of names, as in more than one. And since we are talking DNS names, well then we only find ourselves limited by what is defined in DNS or the server HOSTS file (none of us do that – right?)
So take this snippet and incorporate it into your automated lab builds or conversely offer your own opinion
Hope this helps someone.

I have a set of documents I need to review regularly. They are *mostly* form data in word so I wanted to write a simple script to extract the data I need from all of the documents and put it into a table. I wasn't sure how to do this so I wrote a little script to iterate over the data in the document. The documents I review have several versions, different form fields, and other irregularities. I wanted to save a little script I wrote that uses various methods to iterate through the document. I use LINQPad regularly, so I wrote this in there in C# as a method for opening and handling the word document, and an extension for iterating it.

I think the standard plan would be great for most people. Reasonably priced if you need office or not. I think using the MS Office 365 would be a better deal for most, but it's certainly nice to get turnkey with no work on office and anti-virus. I'm surprised MS doesn't offer something like this yet really. I wish there was a save password option for the client to make use of complex passwords easier, but this could be solved by a password reset policy I suppose.
My Profile:
My computer time is split between Communication and Content Creation about 70/30. Communication is via the usual Email, Chat, and Screen Sharing. Most content creation is in MS Office or some type of coding application. The most important thing for me when utilizing a VDI platform is that it is fairly responsive when I'm working in multiple applications and need to alt-tab back and forth. VDI doesn't exactly shine in this capacity when you are working remotely, but I feel like I can get a good sense of a worst case scenario for typical users when I am testing.
Good, but I am not going to replace my standard solution for this (local use of Parallels on my MBPro), yet.

In my environment we're working towards automated unattended install of SharePoint, including account creation. AutoSPInstaller is cool but it seems too complicated for me. Put another way, if I'm going to spend time learning I'm choosing to learn PowerShell and SharePoint in more detail.
With that said, here is my script. This script could easily import from a CSV (or other file), read a SharePoint List, or any other means of input. For the purpose of an example, an array is used.

A friend of mine and I were discussing the topic of Disabling LoopBack and which is the better route to go when it comes to creating a new SharePoint 2013 farm.
My perspective, when possible, abide by Microsoft's recommendations. In this case Microsoft seems to take the classic "it depends" stance on disabling ye old loopback.
Being me, I asked my self why not have both? After all I'm sure PowerShell could help out here. To those who know me or have read this blog; I'm not a developer and
it probably shows in various scripts. That said, the following script does accomplish the desired result of one script allowing you to choose if you are going to take the
"Developer" route and disable the loopback, or take the "Admin" route and call out your exceptions. If you are a new SharePoint Admin this might be useful, if you arent
new to SharePoint then I'm sure you've already clicked off of this post a few lines back…lol

Today I had to fall in line and do something I'm not entirely proud of. I had to create a script to replicate files from a fileshare to Sharepoint. Struggling to find value in the efforts, I figured a blog post to remind me of this event was fitting. The script was rather basic, something good, and I took the opportunity to grow, exploring the world of Powershell – SharePoint interaction outside of the SharePoint PS SnapIn.
Surprisingly, it was a bit easier than I had imagined. While I wish I could take 100% of the credit, inspiration for this function comes from this article
So that's the basic of uploading a file to SharePoint using the .net webclient…to many this is old hat…To me something new to start out the new year.

If you need to interface with SQLite there are a couple of steps.
1) You need to get the .net provider for SQLite from sourceforge.net 2) Then add a reference to System.Data.SQLite to your project. 3) You need to make sure the reference is marked to be copied locally.
Here is a C# class to for doing select, insert, update, and delete.
public class SqlLiteHelper { String dbConnection; /// <summary> /// Single Param Constructor for specifying the DB file. /// </summary> /// <param name="inputFile">The File containing the DB</param> public SqlLiteHelper(String inputFile) { dbConnection = String.Format("Data Source={0}", inputFile);

Here we are, a cold crisp 20 degree Wednesday in November. I thought to myself…this is not cool (no pun), but you know what is cool? Yeah, I'm sure you guessed PowerShell's ActiveDirectory module.
Just a quick blog note to show how PowerShell quickly settled a dispute during an upgrade of our AD schema to handle a Windows 2012 DC. Of course this wasn't a big dispute, many other tools could have been used. The question was had the Schema already been changed to support a 2012 Server. Again, there are many tools that could provide the answer, but what made this so cool was being able to share the experience with others who didn't know PowerShell could replace some of the old stand by AD tools. So this is more of an AH-HA moment that felt right to share (and the script)…All brought to us by PowerShell and the ActiveDirectory module.
(An academic honesty note here…this script is not 100% my own work...More like 5% – 10% my work, I can't remember where I snagged the meat of this script so the credit remains unknown.)
So there you have it, another way PowerShell rocks.

The other day while reviewing an Exchange 2010 Environment, I noticed a few active mailboxes belonging to disabled users. For obvious reasons this isn't a good thing, if for nothing else it clutters up the Exchange Address Book.
Next thought in my mind…So what's the best way to hide these disabled users? Having the PowerShell bias that I do in fact have, I had to spend 15 minutes reviewing the options.
Here is the script I used in a resource / user environment. Keep in mind this is a down and dirty version, a proof of concept. I would limit the use of this example as an inspiration only. (good or bad)
#Uncomment this section if you want to include changing the address book visability
Foreach ($user in $usrrpt){
Write-Host "Changing address book visability for" $user.alias
Set-Mailbox -Identity $user.alias -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true
Of course the next thought of automation comes to mind…but that's a different post.

Here is some code to use to check if a database exists. Just replace the string 'DATABASE NAME'.
SELECT * FROM [master].[sys].[databases] WHERE name='DATABASE NAME'
posted @ 11/11/2013 4:11 PM by Chris Barba
If you have a connection to a database through entity framework and you need to switch it to another database (with the exact same structure) you just need to set the Connection.ConnectionString (as seen below). I had an application where we created a copy of the Master database when setting up a new client. So using Entity Framework I switched from the master database to the client (depending on what the admin was doing).
using (MasterEntities aEntities = new MasterEntities()) { //Switch db connected to aEntities.Database.Connection.ConnectionString = aEntities.Database.Connection.ConnectionString.Replace("OldDatabaseName", "NewDatabaseName"); //Some Query}

In my continued automation efforts, I was looking to convert documentation provided from a consultant into something more…well…automated. In this first of four parts I'll list out creating a Result Source with Powershell.
Subsequent posts (part 2 – 4) will give example of creating Result Types, Query Rules, and Search Navigation. The aim of this effort is to make use of PowerShell in rebuilding, essentially cloning without data, a search service application. This is useful when Microsoft support gives the classic solution of "rebuild" your service application. Doh!
It should be noted:

First things first. I'm not a developer. I seem to do ok working my way through the SharePoint object model with PowerShell and writing automation scripts, but that doesn't make me a developer.
With that out the way, I do find myself in an odd place with developers neglecting (for whatever reason) to automate population of web parts in the content pages their solution has deployed. An example might be Search Content web part needing to have the proper display template selected for displaying conversations. Ah…My Dev friends (don't hate me) but why not go that extra mile? If I can do it through script, surely you can employ your superior coding skills to include it in the solution (wsp)!
For those of you who may find yourself in my shoes, here is a script I created to help ease that cross farm (environment pain). Essentially the script is a function with a few parameters. This is the core, from here you can customize to your needs. It's a great starting point for anyone who wants to automate changes to web parts via PowerShell. You can copy and paste the script below into PowerShell ISE and save it to whatever name you like
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
#----Start of Function-------
Function Set-WebParts {
[String]$SiteUrl = $(Read-Host "Please Enter Site URL"),
[String]$PageUrl = $(Read-Host "Please Enter Page URL")
$web = Get-SPWeb $SiteUrl
#+Get and Checkout Page
#+-Get Page
$page = $web.GetFile($pageURL)
#+-CheckOut The Page
#+-Load Limited Web Part Manager
$wpm = $web.GetLimitedWebPartManager($pageURL, [System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared)
#+Change Conversations WebPart - In my example I had some webparts titled "Conversations" and some Titled "Content Search"
$wp = $wpm.WebParts | Where {$_.Title -eq "Conversations" -or $_.Title -eq "Content Search"}
#+-This is the base url for the template - Change this to whatever meets the need
$base = "~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Content Web Parts/"
#+-This is the template name
$template = "Item_Discussion.js"
$NewItemTemplateId = $base+$template
#+-Actually Setting The Part
$wp.ItemTemplateId = $NewItemTemplateId
#+CheckIn and Publish Page
$page.CheckIn("Scripted Change")
$page.Publish("Scripted Publish")
#----End Of Function----
As I said, I'm not a developer so while functional, there is probably a better way to accomplish what I've published here.

This post objective: To simply document something I can't explain.
First the environment has a single WFE and two different app servers (APP1 and APP2). The SharePoint environment in question is running 2013 RTM bits (I know)…
An unplanned deployment of a custom farm solution. Mostly just an automated deployment of content pages with custom webparts. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
The standard post deploy testing revealed nothing out of the ordinary, other than Search and SSRS not playing well with each other in this production farm.
<rant>It seems the Microsoft support solution is to recreate the Search Service App, then SSRS will play nice in the logs. I'll tell you this works but not what I'd call acceptable…</rant>
Notification of Managed Metadata navigation malfunction by user
Start of troubleshooting MMSA. Service application interface in CA had error indicating "The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator." Naturally I figured there was a stopped application pool, which there was, it just wasn't one running this service.
Next I tried to open the service connection properties, only to get this error (from ULS). Application error when access /_admin/ManageMetadataProxy.aspx, Error=Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {BDEADF26-C265-11D0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F} failed due to the following error: 800703fa Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703FA).
At this point I'm at a loss an figure I'll try to restart the services via CA. Just for good measure I started the service on each server (WFE,APP1,APP2). Same results, nothing changed
Read a blog suggesting an unlikely event of the application pool need access to the service application. It worked well prior to this event, but for good measure let's add it in. Same results, nothing changed
Resigned to throw the hail marry of an IISReset, just to see if it will commit anything changed to this point. Sent notification to enterprise giving heads up of unplanned reset.
Getting Ready to go for lunch, figured I take a quick look before I throw the switch on the IISReset. Before checking the MMSA, I ran Get-CacheClusterHealth only to get an error "No valid cluster settings were provided with Use-CacheCluster". Not a big deal, anticipated this so I ran Use-CacheCluster then Get-CacheClusterHealth once more. This time I received the expected Cluster health statistics. Getting somewhat anxious to make some headway I figured I'd flip back over to the MMSA to make sure it was in fact still broken.
So yeah, as you might have guessed. It automagically started working.
A cold beer or maybe…just maybe…a good shot of tequila.
In the end I can only blame the events on Gremlins, someone clearly feed the SharePoint Mogwai after dark and they had fun wreaking havoc. I can only send thanks to Rambo-Gizmo for eradicating the issue.
What I hate most of today's event is the numerous posts such as this one by SharePointBabe coming to the solution it's just quicker to rebuild the service application. My issue here is this is not really an acceptable solution. I wouldn't have such an issue if Microsoft support didn't take the same approach…but then I've already had my rant for this post.

Rick Snyder will appoint an emergency manager to oversee a city once renowned for its manufacturing might. Snyder declared Friday that Detroit was in a financial emergency and appears all but ready to name an emergency manager pending an appeal from Mayor Dave Bing, saying he has a top candidate picked out for the job. Detroit would be become the largest city in the United States to have state control over its finances.

quote:How exactly did university professors do this? Are they responsible for the city's finances? Are university professors responsible for the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs? Are professors responsible for the city's tax structure and the flight of people from the city looking to better themselves? Are professors responsible for men abandoning their families and leaving their own children in fatherless homes?
quote:The idea of the welfare state and massive government dependency started among intellectuals and their idealistic theories and visions.
