The College News VOL. XXII, No. 4 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1935 g^'l&i^NKwa A�S PRICE 10 CENTS BRYN MAWR CELEBRATES FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Miss Park Traces History of College Successes, Virtues Monologue by Cornelia Skinner Recreates Early Freshman at Bryn Mawr CAMPUS SONGS SUNG IN PERIOD COSTUME Goodhart, Nov. 1 and 2� , With a light heart and a proud head Bryn Mawr reviewed her his- tory�serious and gay�once for the distinguished guests and delegates to the; celebration and again "en famille" for her alumnae and under- graduate daughters. Miss Park, in a pithy and beautifully composed address, brought to light the facts of "Bryn Mawr's pre-natal exist- ence," of its founder's life and will, and of its selected virtues and suc- cesses. Lantern slides including many early pictures of the campus, the faculty and the students, and recent moving pictures of Big May Day illustrated her talk. The latter half of the program featured the monologue A Campus Idyll, written by Cornelia Otis Skinner, '22, and acted on Friday by Miss Skinner and on Saturday by Magdelen Hup- fel Flexner, '28. Four types of "campus folk song" sung by choir members in colorfully costumed tableaux concluded with an impres- sive mock Lantern Night ceremony to Pallas Athene. After describing the facts of the founding of the college, Miss Park continued to explain the sources of the color and form and essence of Bryn Mawr which through the years remains the same, "From its Quaker fathers a habit of caution, along with tolerance of new ones a liking for established ways, and, very clear as Dr. Rhoads' special contribution, friendliness and simplicity; always respect for the individual. Reflec- tions from certain convictions of the new dean: her respect for intellect and her basic confidence in it, her confidence in liberty,�that through personal liberty only the mature and civilized Jfcrson developed, her lik- ing for a rich background, the Eu- ropean scene behind the American, beautiful surroundings, varied ex- perience. And from the procession of its faculty for fifty years the driving power and cutting edge. "Of such a series of Faculties, of President Thomas, of the Quaker strain crystallized in President Rhoads and the early trustees, Bryn Continued on Page Six >;�'!* 1* Part of the Academic Procession Photo Courtesy of Evening Public Ledger French Americanisms Discussed Amusingly Common Room, Oct. 31. � The French Club held its second meeting with M. Guiton as its guest. He was a most amusing speaker on his sub- ject of "Americanisms Among the French." It seems that certain of the French are as eager to appear "American" as some Americans are to be "French." Actually many fash- ions and terms which were once blatantly American have become es- sentially French through their long and convenient use. The American styles of one year may be adopted by Frenchmen and soon they become so popular that they are permanently established as a French style. Such has been the case of the "poulovaire" tucked inside the trousers. (Pull- over-sweater.) In the realm of sport particularly many good American words can be heard in an unfamiliar accent. If a tennis ball passes the fatal white line, a cry goes up of "A-out." One speaks at a boxing match of a "Knock-out" with the accent on^the "K." The ety- mology of the word "meeting" is very interesting. It was used first in France by the "snobs" to denote a gathering, and is still so used, pro- nounced approximately as in English. Now it is often heard among the peo- ple of France as signifying a rally of Continued on {'age Eight Rockefeller Students Bravely Endure Tribulations of Exile to Other Halls Far from transforming itself into "one great, big, happy family," as is the custom at most celebrations, Bryn Mawr rather assumed for its Fiftieth Anniversary the aspect of an adult orphan asylum. Lest these words convey too sombre an impression, let , it be quickly added that the Bryn Mawr asylum resounded to no sobs and lamentations. Rather, mirth and festivity reigned, and "joy was un- confined." But the distinguished vis- itors, the alumnae, the Rockefeller in- mates whose rooms were confiscated, and even the faculty dogs, wore a be- wildered, homeless look which even over their most brilliant smiles re- mained unaltered like a piece of cello- phane. The Hospitality Committee did its best to dispel the lost-puppy symptoms displayed by its wards, but imagine its dismay when it found that one of them actually was lost! One of the speakers had long been due to arrive, yet not a word had been heard nor a sight seen of him. Hastily scouts were dispatched to discover the miss- ing gentleman, and so hastily they get about their duty that they almost neglected to assist a lone and distant figure whom they noticed in obvious distress. Their benevolent natures prevailed, however, and they stopped to inquire his trouble. Mournfully he replied, "I don't know where to go." "Who," they thereupon desired to know, "are you?" He was no other than the man they were seeking. He led them,, amazed in their turn, to where his wife w* sitting, forlorn and baffled, in the midst of her bag- gage. With profuse apologies the fur- Other visitors were led astray by their guides rather than by their own misguided instincts. To one person, whose ambiguous last name was pre- fixed by the equally ambiguous title, "President," was assigned a room in the men's corridor in Rockefeller. (Fof both men and women, "because- of the necessity ofJJJhe occasion, lodged in Rockefeller on Friday night.) The president arrived, the room number was given to a guide and both set off merrily enough until they found them- selves proceeding down a corridor labeled "Men." There was the room. The guide observed the president to see if she was dreaming. No, the Continued on Page Six College Calendar Thursday, November 7: Vo- cational Tea in the Common Room at 4.15 P. M.

Parties Entertain Alumnae Although Bryn. Mawr may lead a cloistered existence when there is no reason to do otherwise, it can display all the social graces when occasion calls. Witness Rockefeller, festooned with flowers, filled wiih men and women wearing the most impeccable of evening dress, and bearing the most distinguished of names. For this dinner on Friday evening, Miss Park stood in the reception line, together with Dr. and Mrs. Rufus Jones and President Wooley of Mt. Holyoke. The guests wandered blithely from the smoking room to the show case and on to the dining room during the course of the buffet supper, without realizing the strict line of demarca- tion existing between ^hese rooms on ordinary days. On Saturday, lunch was given in the gymnasium for all the distin- guished guests, but the purpose was no so much lunch as meeting and talking, which continued until almost three o'clock. This was the time for the presentation of the M. Carey Thomas award to Dr. Sabin. After presentation, a tea was held for Dr. Sabin and a few of her friends in the Common Room. That evening, the younger alumnae were the guests of Miss Park at a supper in the Deanery, just as the older alumnae had been Miss Thomas* guests there on the previous night. The Deanery was crowded on both occasions with old friends eager to see each other again after the lapse of a few or of many years.__________ Newspaper Exchanges Starting this week the news- papers of other colleges, received as exchanges by the College News, will be placed in the Com- mon Room for any who wish to read them. Bryn Mawr, Haverford To Put On "The Swan" The Swan, by Ferenc Molnar, a clev- er, amusing and sometimes rather wistful comedy satire on royalty, is the choics of the Bryn Mawr College Players' Club and the Haverford Col- lege Cap and Bells as a fall play. The cast includes seventeen speaking parts as well as a few players, such as hussars, lackeys and so forth who have nothing to say, Bat merely lend atmosphere. Of these, eight of the actors with speaking parts are women, and four of these have rather impor- tant parts. The leading characters are Princess Beatrice, a former queen; her daughter, Alexandra; her brother; Father Hyacinth, a monk; and Pro- fessor Hans Agi, the tutor of the Princess Beatrice's sons. The two performances are to be given at Bryn Mawr Friday and Sat- urday, December 6 and 7. The sec- ond presentation is to be followed by a dance at Bryn Mawr given jointly with Haverford College, in which there willow- two stag lines, one com- posed of men and the other women. The two organizations have chosen as :heir director Miss Eleanor Hopkin- son, sister of Joan Hopkinson, '35. Miss Hopkinson was ako in charge of the direction of the acting in last spring's Greek play, The Bacchae.

Carey Thomas Prize award. The formal program began on Sat- urday morning with an academic pro- cession which included distinguished educators from nearly a hundred col- leges and universities throughout the East, among them the speakers on the morning, James Bryant Conant, Presi- dent of Harvard University; Ada Louise Comstock, President of Rad- cliffe College; Isaiah Bowman, Presi- dent of Johns Hopkins University, and representatives of learned societies and foundations, particularly Dr. Sabin and Dr. Simon Flexner, of the Rocke- feller Institute for Medical Research. Three hundred delegates formed the procession which progressed from the Library to Goodhart. The line was colored by the bright academic hoods that designated the college and degree of the wearer, particularly by the brilliant yellow and red robes worn by Dr. Charles -Cestre, of the University of Paris, and by Dr. Simon Flexner. The tremendous applause of the day came with the close of the procession as the spectators greeted President-emeritus M. Carey Thomas and President Marion Edwards Park. In opening the formal exercises President Park welcomed the friends of the college: "The guests represent the colleges and universities of this part of the world, the learned socie- ties with which we have some connec- tion, the heads of the schools who have sent their girls, many or few, to Bryn Mawr, and our own individual friends and neighbors. On the platform with us sit our nearest academic colleagues, Haverford, Swarthmore, Temple Uni- versity, the University of Pennsyl- vania, Princeton, a symbol I hope of local solidarity. Faculty, alumnne and undergraduates fill the other places. I think there is probably no one in the room who has not consulted, Continued on rage Six Bryn Mawr Slumbers Through Earthquake Despite .Efforts of Press to Rouse Us Late lasf*Thursday night, while the college slept soundly in anticipation of events to come, one of the wardens was rudely awakened from her well- earned repose by the clamorous and insistent voice of the emergency tele- phone in her office. Quickly she arose and went to answer it, alarmed leal the last of her charges who was still out might have met with some un- happy accident. Imagine her relief and her annoyance to hear a loud masculine voice come over the wire asking, "Has the college a seismo- graph?" When tie warden had sufficiently aroused herself to ask the gentleman again what he wanted, she was in- whole Main Line was being shaken. The warden grew interested at this point and began to envision the cam- pus buildings collapsing and th� ground opening up and swallowing our citadel of It arning. The reporter, however, when pre-sod for details re- fused to extend the actual quake area beyond South Philadelphia. The discussion did not, however, settle the original argument about whether Bryn Mawr had a seismo- graph. After some idle talk the re- porter gathered that he was not talk- ing with the source of the necessary information and at once asked how. to get in touch with some one in th�* science departments. Fortunately foi^ these worthy individuals the warden formed that one of the local papers refused to vouchsafe the information wished to know whether the college possessed an instrument for record- ing earthquakes and if it did he wanted to know at once what it was recording. It seems that there were earthquakes going on in the vicinity and the press was anxious to find out all about it.

Rating: Great Mask! Communication unit lacksthis mask, How is ear equalization?
Hello Muslum, Thank you for your inquiry! Clearing the Ocean Reef Neptune Space G.divers Full Face SCUBA Dive Mask is very easy. The FFM comes with 3 sets or "Nose Plugs", allowing you to find the proper fit to close (or seal),off your nostrils. To close off your nostrils to clear, the diver pushes up on the base of the FFM. When the plugs close off the nostrils, you then clear your ears as if you were pinching you nose using a regular mask. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-124/029944/Ocean-Reef-Neptune-Space-G.divers-Full-Face-Scuba-Dive-Mask-with-Diver-Communication-Unit.html If you have any questions or wish to place an order, please call us at 1-800-247-2822.

WIth this mask, can I breathe air with it without any air tanks?
You will need to add a surface air valve in order to breathe outside air without using the air from the tank. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-167/028195/Ocean-Reef-G.Divers-Surface-Air-Valve-SAV-for-Full-Face-Masks.html
Hi, I have extreme difficulty clearing my ears. Most times I cant dive below 10ft. I have been very frustrated with this problem ever since I have started diving. Could this mask possibly help me with my equalization problems or is there no difference?
I am now in St Thomas and it is in Ontario and I would like to know is there a diving centre in St Thomas or close to St Thomas or should I stay with the one in London Ontario and the place is Cross Current Divers does anyone know what should I do because I really want to stay within scuba diving
Could you please note what is included in the box? Also, I went looking for a part to put a quick disconnect on the mask regulator hose... come to find out they make a part specifically for this mask. I think it is a must have so put that under the accessories.

Heading to Cozumel in 2 weeks and starting to consider purchasing the full face with communication units. Looking at 2 of the 980.00 units (cant swing the $1500 with the LED). I rent tanks, BC, etc when I travel. A. Will I need any additional connections to be able to use this on my dives in a few weeks? B. Are these fairly easy to adapt to compared to diving with standard mask and snorkel?
Hello Justin, you would not need any extra things to dive with this set-up. All you would need to do it take these to the place you are renting your gear. Then just have them install it on your dive set-up. I would like to tell you if you do get these I would suggest you taking a full face mask class. The class will teach you alot about this new equipment.
Can you get a quick release hose for the full face G.Divers mask?
Whats the difference between the Space and the Predator Full Face Dive Mask? I saw a youtube video on the Predator Model and they seemed to indicate it was more durable(upgraded) than the Space Model. Also, the options Id like to have are comm, surface air, and LED lights, are they available on the Predator Model(I didnt see an option)?
Hello Skip, the Predator is made of a lightweight material where the Space is not.

Hi! I want buy this communication unit later, what price, mftg number and model it have? As I understand it is easy to mount it to FFM? Thanks
Hi Ilja Below is a link to the full fask mask with out communications. Also, yes it is easy to install communications units later. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-124/029940/Ocean-Reef-Neptune-Space-G.divers-Full-Face-Scuba-Dive-Mask.html
Can the Ocean Reef communication system (on a diver) communicate with a on-surface ship (as well as other divers) as long as its within the 600 ft range? If so, how is this done? Through a VHF or similar device?
Hi Alyssa, Yes you can talk to divers from the surface. It requires the divers to have communication units and a surface unit. Communication is actually done though sound waves not radio transmissions. Link below is to a surface unit. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-167/029486/Ocean-Reef-M-105-Digital-Dual-Channel-Transceiver-Surface-Unit.html
I wear glasses but can not wear contacts, how do i get a prescription lens set
Hello Andrew, you would need to buy the: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-124/028083/Ocean-Reef-Optical-Lense-Support.html this would hold the lens that you would have your eye doctor install in this frame then you would be able to install this in your Ocean Reef mask.
hi! im new to this and dont have any idea how to use/connect to the tank. Can you explain? thanks. Im planning to buy 2 for me and my partner for ease of talking underwater. Can you recommend the best? i live in the Philippines, is there a warranty? thanks!
Hello Dianne, the unit you will want to get is the version with the underwater communication so you can talk to your buddy underwater. As for attaching this to your current 1st stage it is easy. It comes with the low pressure regulator hose that will connect to the 1st and 2nd stage unit. As for the warranty it comes with the manufacture full warranty.
What specific frequency does it transmit on? Can a receiver be used and connected to an amplifier?
I do a dive show in a 5000 gallon salt water aquarium (see Haai.net) I like to talk to the audience while under water ,the sound has to go to a PA station.I dont need feedback from the audience just me talking.I prefer hardwire cause I had a wireless system before and it didnt work well maybe because of the stainless tank.What would be the best option for me?
Hello Philip, the communication unit you are looking for is the: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-168/027684-027689/Ocean-Reef-Alpha-Pro-Add-A-Diver-Communication-Kit.html. That would be the only hard wire system made for the Ocean Reef masks.
hello, i recently purchased a couple of these maskshowever, the free-flow in a head down possition is extremely anoying, i tried adjusting (lowering) the inflow from the second stage without any luck, any advise on how to stop the free-flow?
Hello Pablo, I would suggest taking this to your local dive shop or send this back to us and we can see if the intermediate pressure is off. If that is off this would be the cause of the issue. Of if you are using this with either a hookah system or directly from a compressor you would also need to have the intermediate pressure lowered on the regulator to stop this from happening. Since a hookah and compressor system pump at a different pressure to the diver.
1. Explain what "Easily adaptable for a octopus regulator" in the add means. 2. Are prescription lens (bi-focal) available? If so, how are they ordered and at what cost?
I cant figure out if this comes with the surface air valve. It isnt listed in the item description but in the more about the product tab is states as follows. "The Neptune Space is equipped with a surface air valve that allows the diver to breathe ambient air while at the surface." So is the ambient air valve an extra cost item or is the mask "equipped" as it says in the product info? Also is the hose that connects the mask (second stage) to the tank regulator a quick connect and if not, is this available as an option?

Comm System
OR033109 - Ocean Reef GSM G.divers Wireless Diver Communicaton Unit
The underwater communication allows a great evolution of the diving activity and an outstanding improvement of the underwater instruction
and education. besides, the underwater communication is also making the diving activity safer and more enjoyable.
The new gSm G.divers transceiver (high performance communication system) expands the diver's ability to communicate with others verbally.
The ultrasonic transceiver boasts the autonomy of approximately 30 hours in receiving mode, a range of operation of 200-250 meters (calm sea
water), lightweight and sleek design. It is a powerful, single channel and inexpensive pTT (push to talk) underwater wireless communication unit.
The unit automatically activates upon contact with the water and it uses a 9v alkaline battery with a "low battery" alarm which beeps every 30
seconds when the battery is low. The gSm G.divers communication unit is the perfect addition to any training class or guided tour
and operates on the same frequency as all other OCEAN REEF units and most popular wireless communication units on the market.
gSm G.divers uses a d-mic, a special microphone with the housing sealed by hydrophobic membrane which is permeable to air, but prevents water from passing through the electronics.
The membrane's reduced thickness limits any reduction of the vocal signal. The permeability
of the membrane keeps the internal pressure equalized with the external pressure, enabling
the microphone to be used at practically any depth. Each gSm G.divers comes with the
NACS™ (Neptune Adjustable Communication Support) (code 33054). The patented NACS™ is an
adjustable support arm for the gSm G.divers and other OCEAN REEF underwater communication
units. It can be installed on the left side of the mask and prevents the communication unit from
hanging on the mask strap. by relieving the weight of the communication unit, the NACS™
also allows the mask strap to slide easily through the buckle; thus, the strap can stay loose while
the mask is donned and the communicator stays out of the way. The NACS™ can be adjusted for
tilt and distance between the communication unit and the visor.
More About the Neptune Space
Adaptability – Face seal – sizes
The patented bellows-type skirt with a "spring profile" has a large sealing surface (30-45 mm, double that of
a conventional mask). The spring effect is achieved by a combination of the double "S" section and the inner
support ribs, resulting in a comfortable fit and ample support. This allows the mask to "float" comfortably on
the face. The face seal and strap concepts are OCEAN REEF patents.
The majority of the models may be supplied with two sizes: Small/Medium and Medium/Large.
In order to determine whether a diver should wear a S/M or M/L mask, OCEAN REEF has designed a Mask
Measuring Kit (code 33075).
The sizing and measuring system were designed in accordance with the official measuring procedure used
in the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Charts at the SBCCOM Mask Fit Facility-Aberdeen Proving Ground
(Maryland, USA). Before purchasing a mask, use the caliper to take two simple face measurements. Using
the Full Face Mask Size Recommendation Chart, it is possible to evaluate the size category into which the
measurements fall.
There are three different size categories on the chart: Small/Medium, Both, and Medium/Large. If the
measurements fall within the both category, then the customer should technically be able to wear either size
(MEDIUM/LARGE or SMALL/MEDIUM), and in that case they should try on a mask to select the best fit.
Please note that the chart boundaries fade. The fading areas represent less common face measurements. It
is very likely that a mask will still fit comfortably even if measurements are located in these fading areas
Visual field
The Neptune Space visor is made of transparent polycarbonate. It is designed to be wider and sit
closer to the face than previous full face masks. This design maximizes the visual field, particularly
the peripheral area. The visible light transfer of the visor is 92%.
Required field of vision (effective) >40% of the natural field of vision – Space masks 71.80%.
Required field of vision (binocular) >50% of binocular natural field of vision – Space masks 80.68%
Italcert certification PPE-05 Rif 1332/05
The insert photos show the visual field of the Neptune Space compared with two competitor's full
face masks.
Durability and scratching resistance
The visor of the Neptune Space can resist the impact of a 6.35 mm steel ball traveling at speeds
of 540 kph (335 mph). The visor is coated on both sides with a siloxane resin to increase the
scratching and chemical resistance.
Tested by STANAG 4296 = resistance to the impact of a 325mg metal fragment with a speed of
240 m/s and Impact resistance test: 39.3 mm/254 g sphere from 1300 mm, no cracking or added
protection during transport, the Neptune Space comes with a removable protective shield (to be
removed before diving).
The head harness and FRB II
The head harness is directly attached to the face shield, allowing pressure to be distributed equally along the mask skirt.
The six straps of the head harness hold the mask in a firm position due to their low elasticity. The tip of each strap (rubber)
is wider, making them easier to grasp while wearing neoprene
gloves. The FRB II (Raptor and Space Fast Rotating Buckle) allows the mask to be donned and doffed quickly. Predator and
IRON MASK use an AISI 316 stainless steel with surface electric
treatment and AISI 316 stainless steel rollers.
Air circulation
The Neptune Space air circulation system is designed to minimize fogging and reduce
the amount of CO and CO2 buildup.
The silicone orinasal pocket is built with two one way valves through which air is
inhaled. Exhaled air is directed through a valve under the orinasal pocket, limiting
the mixing of this air (containing high amounts of CO2) with the fresh air from the
regulator. The direction of exhaled air is controlled by a directional exhaust valve. This adjustable valve allows
exhaust to flow in four possible directions:
A - To the left
B - To the right
C - Both (direction of least resistance)
D - No exhaust
Position D, the "off" position is used when the diver is in
a "head-down" position which, due to pressure on the
second stage, causes the regulator to free flow. Placing
the exhaust valve in the off position causes pressure to
build in the mask, preventing free flow and returning
the system to an "air on demand" situation.
Surface air valve
The Neptune Space is equipped with a surface air valve that allows
the diver to breathe ambient air while at the surface. The surface
air valve is easily adjustable with large air vents.
Draining and pressure equalization Water that may seep into
the mask is easily eliminated by exhaling or pushing the
"purge" button on the 2nd stage. Mask squeeze, a common problem for conventional
masks, will not occur with the Neptune Space because the
pressure inside the mask is equal to the pressure outside the mask.
The 3-D equalization system
The patented OCEAN REEF 3-D equalization system is designed to allow easy equalization during a dive. The
system consists of a movable plate and two eccentric blocks (these blocks move close to the nostrils when the
upper part of the visor is pressed). When equipped with Visor Lights (see after), use the regulator to push the
mask toward your face, creating a nasal seal. The blocks plug the diver's nose allowing equalization.
Before donning the mask, the blocks may be moved up or down depending on the length of the diver's nose.
They may also be adjusted to fit wide or narrow noses.
The system also includes three pairs of extenders (3,
6, 10mm long) which allow the distance between the blocks and the nose to be modified to accommodate
the diver's face. The 3-D equalization system makes diving more comfortable and inhibits any undesired pressure during a dive.
Regulator characteristics
The Neptune masks are equipped with a pneumatically balanced second stage providing a consistent ease of breath
at any tank pressure. An inhalation adjustment feature allows the diver to control air delivery under a variety of
diving conditions. The system works with 2 coaxial springs.
The Dive/Pre-dive (Venturi) lever reduces free flow on the
surface and provides maximum air flow while at depth.
The Neptune Space mask complies with CE Certification
in accordance with 89/689/EEC directives under the UNI
EN250 standard rules for underwater activities, including
low temperatures (<50°F/ <10°C).

National Monuments of France
There are 85 designated national monuments in France, places of historical importance that are now looked after by the state for the benefit of all.
The national Monuments cover a wide range of buildings and structures, from archaeological sites and prehistoric caves to renaissance castles and buildings housing items relating to important people in France's history (eg the collection related to Marshall Foch).
You can see a map showing the national monuments at the bottom of this page.
This Mediterranean port town built in the 13th century to protect France is still surrounded by almost two kilometres of ramparts with 20 towers - you can follow the 'rampart walk for the entire distance.
See Aigues-Mortes for details.
Amiens: Towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Amiens (Somme : Picardy)
One of the most impressive gothic style monuments in France the cathedral at Amiens is also notable for being the biggest. It is the splendid towers that have been listed as a national monument - these can be entered for very good views across the city center.
See Amiens Cathedral for details.
Angers: Angers Castle (Maine-et-Loire : Pays-de-la-Loire)
A very large castle in the center of Angers which combines traditional medieval defences and towers with subsequent interior enhancements in the apartments and gardens to make the castle more comfortable to live in. Angers castle is best known for the 14th century Apocalypse Tapestry - at over 100 metres long it is the largest medieval tapestry in the world.
See Angers for details.
Arles: Roman villa of Montmajour (Bouches-du-Rhone : Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'Azur)
Developed over more than eight centuries, the oldest part of the benedictine Montmajour Abbey is represented by a very ancient (10 th century) structure, a roman style cloisters and an abbey church. The substantial monastery of Saint-Maur was added in the 18th century.
Montmajour Abbey is a few kilometres outside Arles.
Assier: Assier Castle (Lot : Midi-Pyrenees)
An important example of 16th century renaissance style architecture for the Midi-Pyrenees region, unfortunately a substantial part of the castle is no longer standing although there is enough to get an idea of the original splendour of the castle.
Situated in the countryside about 15 kilometres north-west of Figeac.
Azay-le-Rideau: Azay-le-Rideau Castle (Indre-et-Loire : Centre)
Chateau Azay-le-Rideau is a very lovely example of the early renaissance style of architecture made especially attractive by its scenic setting - it was built on an island in the Indre river. The architect incorporated the latest trends in both Italian and french styles in the design to great effect.
See Chateau Azay le Rideau for more information.
Besancon: Astronomical clock of Besancon (Doubs : Franche-Comte)
The 19th century inventiveness of a certain Auguste Verité created this remarkable 'clock' with its 57 faces giving information about everything from tides to movements of the moon and also an 'automata' and requiring more than 30000 moving parts!
See more highlights in the town at Besancon.
Bordeaux: Tower of Pey-Berland (Gironde : Aquitaine)
The 15th century gothic style Pey-Berland Tower is next to Bordeaux Cathedral of Saint-André and is the belltower for the cathedral. Interestingly it was built slightly apart from the main cathedral to avoid the risk of vibrations from the bells causing structural damage to the cathedral itself. From the tower there are some of the best views across the city.
See Bordeaux for details of this and other monuments.
Bouges-le-Chateau: Bouges Castle (Indre : Centre)
A recommended detour from Valencay to the north-west, Bouges castle is a good example of Louis XV architecture. The furnishings and carefully planned gardens are among the highlights of a visit, and there is also an impressive collection of horse-drawn carriages.
Bourg-en-Bresse: Brou royal monastery (Ain : Rhone-Alpes)
The monastery at Bourg-en-Besse is an example of the so-called 'flamboyant gothic' style of architecture built in the early 16th century. Flemish artisans were brought in to create the many ornamental highlights of the church such as the altarpiece, stained-glass windows, tombs and statues. There is also a museum dedicated to the history of the monastery.
See also Bourg-en-Bresse.
Bourges: Palace Jacques Coeur and Crypt and towers of Bourges Cathedral (Cher : Centre)
There are two listed National Monuments in Bourges:
The Jacques-Coeur Palace: built in the 15th century for a rich financier and considered as one of the most impressive examples of 'non-religious' flamboyant gothic style architecture in France, especially the eastern facade of the palace.
Towers of Bourges Cathedral: also in gothic style, the cathedral at Bourges is one of the best examples in France. As well as the cathedral itself the staned glass windows (12th -14th century) are a particular highlight.
See Bourges for more information.
Bussy-le-Grand: Bussy-Rabutin Castle (Cote d'Or : Burgundy)
East of Fontenay Abbey, the castle at Bussy-Rabutin is also in an attractive wooded setting. Particular highlights include the grand apartments in the castle designed by the Count of Bussy who lived in the castle and wrote his 18th century memoirs of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France.
Cadillac: Cadillac Castle (Gironde : Aquitaine)
The castle at cadillac was built in the early 17th century as a noble reesidence, then used in the first half of the 19th century as a women's prison. You can still see aspects from both of these periods in the castle, providing interest by the dramatic contrast created by the two characteristics.
Carcassonne: Fortified town of Carcassonne (Aude : Languedoc-Roussillon)
Perhaps the best known and most complete fortified town in the world, the castle and fortifications we see today at Carcassonne largely date in origins from the 13th century, although substantial (and sometimes controversial) renovations were carried in the 19th century by Viollet-le-Duc.
You can walk along the ramaprts and walls and there is also an explantory video explaining the 800 year history of Carcassonne.
See Carcassonne for details.
Carnac: Megalithic site of Carnac (Morbihan : Brittany)
The very important prehistoric stone alignments at Carnac cover a very extensive area (about 100 acres for the main alignments) and frequently follow a carefully laid out plan. The exact reasons for the alignments, created over a period of several thousand years, may still be unclear in many respects but that doesn't diminish their unique appeal and fascination.
See Carnac for details.
Carrouges: Carrouges Castle (Orne : Normandy)
Half castle, half manor house, Carrouges Castle in Normandy still feels like a family home to visit (if rather larger than most). At the castle you will also see some lovely furnishings and decorations, and enjoy exploring the extensive grounds that surround the property and are now carefully laid out and maintained gardens.
Champs-sur-Marne: Chateau of Champs-sur-Marne (Seine-et-Marne : Paris)
The castle at Champs-sur-Marne is a good example of the grand architecture common among landowners in the early 18th century. The style continues both inside the castle with its furniture, panelled walls and paintings and in the surrrounding parkland which is one of the most impressive parks in the region.
Note: the castle is closed for renovation until at least 2013 but the park is open as usual).
Chareil-Cintrat: Chareil-Cintrat Castle (Allier : Auvergne)
This 16th century castle contains a great deal of decorative highlights. In particular there are a substantial number of 16th century wall murals telling stories from mythology and other subjects. Outside the castle you can see ancient vines that have been collected from the vineyards of Saint-Pourcain and Chareil.

"Lost World" Yeti Crab Swarm
Photograph courtesy NERC CHESSO Consortium
An unnamed new species of Yeti crab swarms near hot, mineral-rich hydrothermal vents in the oceans off Antarctica—a newfound "lost world" of strange deep-sea species, scientists say.
(See picture: ""Yeti Crab" Discovered in Deep Pacific.")
A camera-equipped submersible robot filmed species such as barnacles, crabs, anemones, and even an octopus, all of which are mostly colorless and live in utter darkness at depths of 7,875 feet (2,400 meters), according to a new study.
About 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) east of the southern tip of South America, "this is a new province of deep-sea life, something like a new continent, and it's a place we've been trying to [reach] for a long time," said study co-author Jon Copley, a marine biologist at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.
"It harbors some of the lushest abundance of life I have ever seen in the deep ocean," he said.
(Pictures: "Lost World" of new Species Found in Indonesia.)
The species of Antarctica's "lost world" were described this week in the journal PLoS Biology.
—Dave Mosher
Published January 4, 2012
Jockeying for Position
Photograph courtesy NERC CHESSO Consortium
Male yeti crabs (such as the one at right) are larger and stay closest to the vents to feed communities of bacteria on their hair-lined bellies.
(Related: "'Yeti' Crabs Farm Food on Own Arms-A First.")
Female yeti crabs stray farther away, into the vent field's cooler water, to protect tiny embryos lining their bellies.
"Unlike the other few species of yeti crab, which wave their arms or dance, these were mostly stationary, but did jockey for position in the warm water," Copley said.
The temperature of the water near the vents is on par with that of the warm tropics, he added.
(See more pictures of deep-sea creatures.)
Published January 4, 2012
Antarctic "Car Wash" Barnacles
Photograph courtesy NERC CHESSO Consortium
Snake-like barnacles protrude from rocks in cooler waters near the yeti crab swarms.
At the barnacles' tips are diamond-like heads that appear to filter-feed organic matter floating through the deep-sea oasis.
"We nicknamed one mineral spire covered with these barnacles 'Car Wash,' because it looked like those spinning cylinders you see in a car wash," Copley said.
(See "Barnacles Can Change Penis Size and Shape.")
Published January 4, 2012
Black Smokers of the Lost World
Photograph courtesy NERC CHESSO Consortium
These openings in the Earth's crust, called black smoker chimneys, can spew mineral-rich water as hot as 720 degrees Fahrenheit (382 degrees Celsius).
The minerals, including hydrogen sulfide, provide food for the bottom of the ecosystem's sunless food chain.
Surprisingly, the researchers did not find any shrimp, tubeworms, mussels, or other creatures typically found near hydrothermal vents.
"The new life we're seeing here gives us insights into how animals disperse and evolve in deep ocean," Copley said.
"We can say, OK, the same species here is found elsewhere, while these are missing, so what are the reasons? We can now ask those questions and test ideas."
(See "600-Year-Old Worms Among Surprises of Ten-Year Sea Survey.")
Published January 4, 2012
Antarctic Anemones in the Pink
Photograph courtesy NERC CHESSO Consortium
These pink anemones (pictured) likely represent a new species, and some are surprisingly large for anemones—roughly the size of a person's palm.
Like other anemones, the animals probably feed by capturing bits of food drifting through the water.
A more diverse array of animals was found along the southern end of the East Scotia Ridge, while the northern end was "rather stygian," Copley said.
"It's more rugged and quite challenging to navigate around," he said. "It's a mystery right now as to why the northern end isn't as lush as the southern."
(See "Pictures: New Deep-Sea Worms Found-Have Big 'Lips.'")
Published January 4, 2012
One Tough Anemone
Photograph courtesy NERC CHESSO Consortium
An unnamed long-tentacled anemone manages to eke out an existence at the fringes of the warm vents.
The average temperature of Antarctica oceans hovers around 29 degrees Fahrenheit (-1.5 degrees Celsius).
"When food is really scarce, animals evolve some remarkable adaptations for finding and catching a meal"-such as these long tentacles, Copley said.
(See "Tentacled Snake Uses Odd Appendages to Sense Prey.")
Published January 4, 2012
All That Glitters
Photograph courtesy Alex Rogers
A slice of a hydrothermal vent chimney glitters with flecks of pyrite—also called fool's gold, a crystallized form of iron sulfide.
In addition to surveying marine life, researchers cut out pieces of the chimneys and hauled them back to the surface.
"It's important for us as biologists to know the chemistry of these vents," Copley said. "It can help explain why we see some species around particular areas and not others."
(See "Deepest Volcanic Sea Vents Found; 'Like Another World.'")
Published January 4, 2012
Ghostly Octopus
Photograph courtesy NERC CHESSO Consortium
One of the rarest finds the team encountered was a 2-foot-long (0.6-meter-long) octopus.
Copley isn't sure what the octopus eats. But the team did manage to film the animals walking around on the sea floor in a weird fashion.
"The back four tentacles sort of shuffle like the treads of a tank, while the front four feel in front of the octopus," Copley said.
"We weren't able to collect any specimens—they were quick and rare—but they're quite possibly a new species."
(See a picture of a "spectacular" purple octopus found off Canada in 2010.)

I can't believe I actually found this funny.
@True Order:
You sound like me when I was in high school, the fact that you assume what you assume is to be the truth already makes you seem an unbearable sort in real life. Also, it's clear that you seem to have a complex where everyone is deemed as beneath you and your understanding. No one ever knows the way you mind works, so to say.
Then again, turn it around and people will think of the following the next time you make a comment on this, "Why the hell has he not learned to understand how others think?". There's a good deal of primitive instinct in our thinking processes, where we tend to simply choose the 'easier' route in making everything logical and concurrent.
From what I can gather, it'd be a good guess to say that you simply say others do not understand you or cannot compare to you, simply because you are afraid of facing the fact that you are in the same situation. It's easier that way, because it makes you feel comfortable, superior, and higher than others in a sense of morals and your own thoughts. That doesn't necessarily mean you don't feel it once in a while of course, you simply block it out as soon as possible.
No offense meant, and correct me on anything if I'm wrong.

Chicago Fire Juniors
Who are the Chicago Fire Juniors?
Established in 2004 as the official youth soccer club of Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire, the Chicago Fire Juniors are the only professionally based youth soccer club in the United States. The Chicago Fire Juniors are part of the Chicago Fire (MLS) Player Development Program and are an integral piece of the Player Development Pyramid. This "Pyramid" creates a progressive developmental structure providing players the opportunity to move from introductory play, competitive play and elite youth play into professional academy formats (Fire Academy U16, U18) and professional development programs (Super 20, NPSL, PDL) – finally, onto the Fire MLS team. The Chicago Fire Juniors, in association with the Chicago Red Eleven of the women's W-League, replicate the Player Development Pyramid for females by providing young ladies the opportunity to play at a high level.
The Development of the Chicago Fire Juniors Nationwide
The Chicago Fire currently have nine affiliate clubs in the Chicagoland area and throughout the United States. In 2010, the Chicago Fire added satellite affiliates in Florida and Louisiana and locally with the Fire Juniors South. In 2012, the Juniors program once again expanded its reach outside of Chicagoland, partnering with Mockingbird Valley Soccer Club to establish the Kentucky Fire Juniors in Louisville and relaunching the Michigan Fire Juniors with Grand Rapids-based Rangers Soccer Club while continuing the program's reach locally by adding the Fire Juniors West. In 2013, the Chicago Fire Juniors program partnered with Chicago-based FC Drive to form Chicago Fire Juniors City
The ten Fire Juniors clubs now include:
Chicago Fire Juniors Philosophy
The Chicago Fire Juniors believe in the Pyramid of Player Development. From the base of the pyramid, where one finds the greatest number of participants from the recreational player and beginning player, to the top of the pyramid, where we find our first division professional player - our program has the capacity to meet every player's goals…male or female. Our professional coaching staff is equipped to meet every player's developmental needs - from bottom to top. We follow a curriculum that is both age and ability based and allows the flexibility to accommodate those who are excelling as well as those who need additional help. Because of our soccer club's unique distinction as the first program to follow a professional soccer club model - one club, from youth recreational teams to our elite teams and Academy teams - finally to the ultimate, Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire (men) - there is no other club in the United States that is committed to player development from bottom to top.
Why the Chicago Fire Juniors?
The Chicago Fire Juniors is a first class professionally run organization that produces teams who consistently compete at the highest level and consistently develops players who play at the highest level. The Chicago Fire Juniors maintains the infrastructure for player and team development that produces the highest quality player and team results. As part of the Chicago Fire Player Development Program, Fire Juniors players have access to unparalleled opportunities for soccer development…opportunities that no other club can provide. Youth to professional, top quality leadership and coaching, always ahead of the curve and leading the way.
The Chicago Fire Juniors… "Leading the Evolution of Youth Soccer!"
The Chicago Fire Juniors have demonstrated results in the top state leagues, regional leagues and national leagues (NISL Premiership, MRL, US Club, Super Y, USYS National League, USSF Academy), as well as over seas. Our players are regularly recognized on ODP, Regional and National Teams. Ours teams participate in the most prestigious of tournaments including such tournaments as Dallas Cup, Disney Showcase, Orange Classic, Raleigh Invite and Final Four Showcases. The Chicago Fire Juniors is proud of its long list of alumni currently playing college soccer and looks forward to continuing that tradition.

Away to the airport this morning to see Ed off to Winnipeg - there goes our ace bear protection and GPS expert! At least we had a chance to do the firearms familiarization before his departure, so all are up to speed on handling various pyrotechnic deterrents. I'll ride shotgun in Ed's absence, with Matt as backup, and incoming member Sean adds another pair of sharp eyes to the fossil team.
July 23
Clear skies at last! Down to the coast to catch good morning lighting and a fortuitously low tide, so we can see in detail how fossil-bearing Upper Ordovician carbonate deposits (445 million years old) at our main locality "lap" against the elevated flanks of a much more ancient rock mass. This highly resistant Proterozoic (about 2500 million-year-old) quartzite body is the remnant of a small island that formed part of an archipelago in shallow Ordovician subtropical seas.
Walking through the badlands is like walking through a western novel: canyons cut through the prairie, exposing layers of brown, gold, black and white sediment. Clichés keep popping up: tumbleweeds roll by, cactus pop out from unexpected places, and cattle skulls bleach in the sun. Scorpions hide in coal seams, soaking up the sun's heat from the black rock that camouflages them. It's a bit overwhelming at first, but once you accept the fact that you're in a place unlike anywhere else in Canada, it all becomes simple and beautiful.
Mark Farmer recently returned from an expedition to the badlands of southern Alberta with Dr. David Evans, Associate Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the ROM, in search of dinosaurs. Join us as Mark and Dr. Evans put up their notes from the field, detailing discoveries, how dinosaurs are found and excavated, life in the field and more.

After a mastectomy , some women choose to have cosmetic surgery to remake their breast. This type of surgery is called breast reconstruction.
During breast reconstruction that uses natural tissue, the breast is reshaped using muscle, skin, or fat from another part of your body.
This surgery can be performed at the same time as mastectomy or later.
If you are having breast reconstruction at the same time as mastectomy, the surgeon may do a skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy. With skin-sparing mastectomy, only the area around your nipple and areola is removed. With nipple-sparing mastectomy, all of the skin, nipple, and areola are kept. In either case, skin is left to make reconstruction easier.
If you will have breast reconstruction later, the surgeon will remove just enough skin over your breast to be able to close the skin flaps.
Types of breast reconstruction include the following:
For any of these procedures, you will have general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free).
For TRAM surgery:
For latissimus muscle flap with a breast implant:
For a DIEP or DIEAP flap:
For a gluteal flap:
For a TUG flap:
When breast reconstruction is done at the same time as a mastectomy, the entire surgery may last 8 to 10 hours. When it is done as a second surgery, it may take up to 12 hours.
Transverse rectus abdominous muscle flap; TRAM; Latissimus muscle flap with a breast implant; DIEP flap; DIEAP flap; Gluteal free flap; Transverse upper gracilis flap; TUG
You and your surgeon will decide together about whether to have breast reconstruction and when. The decision depends on many different factors.
Having breast reconstruction does not make it harder to find a tumor if your breast cancer comes back.
The advantage of breast reconstruction with natural tissue is that the remade breast is softer and more natural than breast implants . The size, fullness, and shape of the new breast can be closely matched to your other breast.
But muscle flap procedures are more complicated than placing breast implants. You may need blood transfusions during the procedure. You will usually spend 2 or 3 more days in the hospital after this surgery compared to other reconstruction procedures. Also, your recovery time at home will be much longer.
Many women choose not to have breast reconstruction or implants. They may use a prosthesis (an artificial breast) in their bra that gives a natural shape. Or they may choose to use nothing at all.
Risks of any surgery are:
Risks of breast reconstruction with natural tissue are:
Tell the health care provider if you are taking any drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the week before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You will stay in the hospital for 2 to 5 days.
You may still have drains in your chest when you go home. Your surgeon will remove them later during an office visit. You may have pain around your cut after surgery.
Fluid may collect under the incision. This is called a seroma. It is fairly common. Seromas may go away on their own, but sometimes they need to be drained by the surgeon during an office visit.
Results of reconstruction surgery using natural tissue are usually very good. But reconstruction will not restore normal sensation of your new breast or nipple.
Recovery is usually faster when reconstruction is done after the mastectomy wound has healed.
Having breast reconstruction surgery after breast cancer can improve your sense of well-being and quality of life.

Monarchs suffer road loss to Clay Center
Published on -9/15/2013, 6:49 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By AUSTIN COLBERT
CLAY CENTER -- Improvement isn't always measured in wins and losses for the Thomas More Prep-Marian football team, but also in the way it responds to failure. In this case, a 51-yard touchdown run by Clay Center running back Ricky Huse on the first play of scrimmage for the Tiger offense in a 22-7 win over visiting TMP on Friday.
"That's happened to us in the past where we give up the big play early and we just lay down the rest of the game," TMP senior Michael Schulte said. "For us to be able to drive down and punch it in after that was big for us."
TMP (1-1) opened the game with a quick three and out on its first possession before giving up the one-play touchdown drive to Clay Center (2-0).
But the Monarchs made plays in their second possession, taking advantage of a good kickoff return by Jeffrey Richmeier and 5-yard facemask penalty on Clay Center.
The drive hit a snag at the Tigers' 35-yard line with TMP facing a fourth-and-7, when TMP junior quarterback Max Megaffin hit senior wide receiver Ryan Mayorga on a picture-perfect fade to the left side of the field.
Mayorga was brought down at the 1-yard line, and Schulte finished off the last yard by bulldozing his way into the end zone, his only carry of the game.
"I'm not sure if Ryan was in or not, but I was glad to be able to punch it in," Schulte said. "That's the first touchdown I've ever scored. It was pretty special."
The score gave TMP a 7-6 lead midway through the first quarter after Clay Center had failed its 2-point conversion attempt.
The lead was short-lived as Clay Center answered on the next drive, going 54 yards on eight plays -- all runs -- and finished it with a 10-yard touchdown run by quarterback Kody Gregory.
TMP had opportunities to respond on a drive late in the half that took the Monarchs from their own 5-yard line to Clay Center's 15. But Tiger defensive lineman Daniel Graves sacked Megaffin on third down for a 10-yard loss, and Megaffin's fourth-down pass to the end zone was knocked down.
TMP trailed Clay Center 14-7 at halftime.
The opening drive of the second half was a gem for Clay Center. The Tigers went 81 yards on 13 plays -- again all rushes -- and faced only one third down. Gregory scored from a yard out and completed the 2-point conversion by finding Graves in the end zone while being dragged down by a defender.
"Certainly we wanted to come out and get a stop, but it didn't work that way. They came out with a little bit of fire and they brought it to us," TMP coach John Montgomery said. "The way that we battled and didn't pack it in when it got to 22-7 is a testament to where this team is and how far we've come over the last year and a half."
TMP kept battling, but of its three possessions over the final quarter and a half, two ended with a failed fourth down attempt and the other on a Megaffin interception by Huse.
Megaffin and the offense were brilliant at times early in the game, getting 102 yards passing on 6 of 7 attempts. Mayorga had three of those grabs for 80 yards.
But Megaffin went 4 of 12 for 51 yards in the second half with one interception, and Mayorga was limited to one catch for 20 yards. Megaffin, in his second career start, finished 10 of 19 for 153 yards.
Key to the passing struggle in the second half was the push Clay Center got up front with three sacks on Megaffin, five for the game.
"They changed their defense a little bit to cover up our wide receivers and their defense line started pushing a little bit more as ours got tired down," Mayorga said.
The Monarch defense also got worn down. Clay Center only completed one pass on four attempts for the entire game, but amassed 264 rushing yards on 44 attempts, compared to only 62 yards for TMP.
Despite the lopsided numbers, the fact TMP was still competing late in the fourth quarter Friday was enough reason for Montgomery to feel good about his team's 1-1 start to the season.
"I've said all week this will be a great test to see where we stand -- Clay Center is a perennial (Class 4A) playoff team," Montgomery said. "We gave them some of our best football and yet we still see things that we can fix. I'm extremely pleased with how the boys came out, kept their heads in the game, kept their composure when we had a few ups and had a few downs, and played until the final whistle."
TMP will host Larned (2-0) next week in its home opener at Lewis Field Stadium. It will also be homecoming for the Monarchs.

DAC 2012 Expert Panel: Fasten Your Seatbelt—We're Going to 14nm!
Video viewing problems? Contact Us.
IC designs at 14nm will have new structures and new techniques that impact routing, design for manufacturing, extraction and verification. Designers will need new models for both local interconnect and device-level structures like FinFets. They will also need efficient ways to handle colored vs. non-colored double patterning data, and more extensive corner management. Simple dummy fill or router track fill will not work at 14 nm due to fill impacts on lithography, rapid temperature annealing (RTA), stress and many other effects. Designers may be required to use proscriptive design rules. This panel will discuss the intricacies of IC design at 14nm and how the design enabling and manufacturing flow will change to meet the new physical challenges.

Herman Cain's downfall is the most recent evidence that sexual harassment doesn't mean anything to people in this country. In October, FOUR women came forward and said that Herman Cain sexually harassed them in the late 1990s. Sharon Bialek claims that while seeking advice about a job, she had dinner with Mr. Cain, and that afterwards, while in a car together, he put his hand up her skirt and then tried to pull her head into his crotch.
"That's it," I thought, when I heard her story. "He's done." The specific image of a man pulling a woman's head toward his lap is so lecherous and visceral for women, I figured that this accusation would be the death knell of Cain's campaign.
But no. Attention quickly went to Ms. Bialek's attorney, Gloria Allred, who was accused of being an attention hound (the press wanted to focus on the unlikability of the victim's lawyer, instead of the unlikability of Herman Cain) and then within no time we were being shown a new video about Mr. Cain, Libya and foreign policy. By November 14, Business Insider had announced that lack of interest in a Gloria Allred press conference was proof that "The Herman Cain scandal is dead," a mere two weeks after the harassment news had first broken.
I know that we have a national media that has the attention span of a squirrel on crack, but could we not focus, for ONE MOMENT, on the basic creepiness and lack of character that Mr. Cain had shown?
As always, when accusations of harassment are made, the character of the women doing the accusing was called into question. Skeptics suspect motives of finance and fame. Really? In what world do these people live in that they believe that it is desirable to walk around being known as someone who was groped by Herman Cain?
For that matter, who wants to be known as a person who has been groped by anyone? We are each individuals who struggle every day to define ourselves in the most positive terms. To undermine one's own reputation, to come forward knowing that one's personal narrative is forever changed in the eyes of coworkers, friends and family, is an act of true boldness and bravery.
Especially when one has to contend with fiends like Rush Limbaugh, who when he heard that victim Karen Kraushaar wanted to organize a joint press conference with the other three women remarked, "Do they want to synchronize their menstrual periods? Why appear together?"
Yes, Herman Cain's campaign is over, but the scandal that took him down was a 13-year extramarital relationship, not the harassment allegations. A consensual affair is what stopped people from funding his campaign.
An affair is a complicit act between two adults; it is not the same as a grown man pawing a woman and trying to coerce her face into his lap. It has been 20 years since Anita Hill sat in front of a hostile Senate and was dismissed as a delusional woman. Have we not progressed at all?
Where were the women's groups decrying Cain? Where were the feminists? Women may not be the 99% but in 2010 we were 50.8% of the population and it is time that we say "Enough. We will not put up with this behavior any longer."
As long as we keep slapping these men on the wrists and acting like they just ha ha "got caught with their hands in the cookie jar" the behavior will continue. We need to recognize that harassing women speaks to a moral problem in the individual doing it. We need the media to change its attitude toward the victims and we need to start calling the perpetrators what they are: creeps; low-lifes; skirt chasers; grabby-handed misogynists. Take your pick. Just stop putting up with them.

New budgeting system to link Dover council, public
Monday, December 10, 2012
DOVER — City Council adopted a priority-based budgeting system last week, sponsored by Councilor Michael Weeden, to help during the upcoming budgeting process.
Joyal, who worked with Weeden on this resolution, said this will supplement Dover's budgeting process.
"And then, hopefully, that will be used or be available to you to help you balance the budget and the decision making," Joyal said, adding that he is in support of this. |

For general cleaning of both the frame and screen of your Plasma TV, use a soft, clean, lint free, dry cloth. Most Samsung TVs come with a microfiber cloth that you can use for this purpose. Never use cleaning fluids, wax, or chemicals except as described below. Do not use water unless the instructions that came with your TV say otherwise, and only use water on the portion of the TV that the instructions say to use it on.
To clean fingerprints and greasy smudges off your TV screen, get a bottle of ScreenClean screen cleaning solution or similar screen cleaner. You should be able to get it at most regular and on-line stores that sell monitors or TVs. Put a small amount of ScreenClean on a clean, soft, dry cloth, and then rub the screen gently.
Warning: Never use any type of window cleaner, soap, scouring powder, or any cleanser with solvents such as alcohol, benzene, ammonia, or paint thinner. Never use abrasive pads or paper towels. If you do, you can scratch the screen or strip the anti-glare coating off the screen and cause permanent damage.
To clean your television correctly, follow these steps:
