Spring has sprung early here in Colorado! Unfortunately Mother Nature didn't treat us very well on the snow side this year. Fortunately that means we've been able to dust off our longboards early and shred some asphalt…in April. Every cloud, or lack there of, has a silver lining. Check out this mini-movie from last years highlights to get you pumped up for some longboarding!
The 2012 Never Summer Longboard lineup has been posted right here on the website…check it out!

Many of these seeds are offered here for the first time. We test germination and believe seeds to be true to type. In most cases they have not been yet been trialled in our Baker Creek Gardens. Corn varieties in his collection have not had genetic testing due to small quantities on hand. By purchasing seeds you are directly helping sponsor Joseph Simcox on his botanical adventures to bring us more of the earth's genetic treasures. Most varieties are extremely limited, often under 100 packets available. Thank you for your interest and support! This seed is brought to us by Botanical Explorer, Joseph Simcox: learn more here

Thanks to the Power Flowers™ any color can easily be added, ranging from deep red to light green and from blue unto purple. Within seconds any fat based product can be colored in any desired shade by simply combining the 4 different Power Flowers™ (RED, YELLOW, BLUE and WHITE).
Saving time and waste while coloring consistently
Moreover, this coloring can start immediately since no warming up of the food dyes like before is necessary. The Power Flowers™ are easier to use than liquid and powder colorants: simply add individual Power Flowers™ to a chocolate or fat based product to reach the desired color or tone in only a matter of seconds.
Because of their power (40% pigment), only a few Power Flowers™ are enough to color 400g of chocolate. Thanks to the simple and clean dosing (cut off pieces of different colored Power Flowers™ and the Color Master as a guide, the same color result will be achieved, every time again, guaranteed.
"I am convinced that fellow professionals such as chocolatiers, chefs, bakers and restaurant chefs will be surprised by the convenience of the Power Flowers™", James Berthier, Chef Pâtissier – Chocolatier at 'Maison Sucré Cacao' in Paris, states. "It is the easiest and fastest way to color any chocolate or fat based product while guaranteeing color consistency and quality at the same time".

Miniature Precision Uses FloEFD.V5 Flow Simulation to Optimize Hydrocarbon Trap
October 2006
Miniature Precision Components, Inc., Walworth, Wisconsin, optimized the design of a new hydrocarbon trap by simulating it with FloEFD.V5, a design-oriented flow simulation software package. Mark Van de Bogert, Product Design Manager for Miniature Precision Components, evaluated the performance of 12 different design alternatives in order to minimize backpressure across the trap while achieving the required level of hydrocarbon absorption. "FloEFD.V5 makes it easy and inexpensive for design engineers to perform computational fluid dynamics simulations that in the past would have required the service of analysts with advanced degrees and software packages that lease for tens of thousands of dollars per year," Van de Bogert said.
Miniature Precision Components is a leader in the design and manufacture of injection molded emission control components. The company saw the need for a cost competitive hydrocarbon trap for a partial zero emission vehicle (PZEV) which is 90% cleaner than the average new car. A key feature of the PZEV vehicle is a hydrocarbon trap in the air intake that prevents stray hydrocarbons from migrating out of the engine after shutdown. The hydrocarbon trap presents the inherent design challenge of requiring the ability to trap nearly all hydrocarbons while avoiding a significant increase in backpressure for air entering the engine because that would adversely affect fuel efficiency and performance.
"Modeling the design in FloEFD.V5 was easy," Van de Bogert said. "I simply called up the software inside CATIA. FloEFD.V5 automatically distinguished between the solid and empty spaces in our CAD model and meshed the empty regions to prepare for flow analysis. I added the boundary conditions within CATIA, a mass flow rate upstream and a pressure boundary condition downstream of the trap. I analyzed various rib configurations and found that a 5 spoke version's backpressure was the lowest, but still not low enough."
Van de Bogert then ran through about a dozen iterations on the 5-spoke design, changing the geometry of the spokes and the spacing of the carbon elements. The analysis results for each design showed flow rate and direction and pressure at each point in the trap. "The ability to visualize the flow helped me understand where the restrictions were in each design and provided insight into how to reduce the backpressure," Van de Bogert said. "By the end of this process I had beaten the target for backpressure. We built a rapid prototype of the optimized design and were delighted to discover that the backpressure of the rapid prototype was within a tenth of an inch of water of the CFD predictions."

Light through the haze
via Straits Times:
Untypical candour shown by the Environment Minister, Mr Rachmat Witoelar, will encourage hope that Indonesia is beginning to be seriously focused on tackling the pollution after the stern Asean-level intervention of three months ago. Mr Witoelar discussed coping measures before the Jakarta foreign correspondents club this week, thereby guaranteeing publicity for an issue which this year generated more dissatisfaction than usual in Singapore and Malaysia.
Not only that, he did the remarkable thing of asking Indonesia's neighbours for two years' forbearance before they could expect to see improvement. Was this chutzpah or realism?
There would be disagreement over whether the people of Southeast Asia would care to endure even another season of the choking carbon and methane clouds, or if he was being realistic talking of cleaning up the environmental degradation in a short period of time. By his admission, the problem had developed unchecked in Indonesia over 30 years.
At least something's being done…and let's hope they'll be some results. Seriously I don't even mind paying like RM50-100 every year to help the cause if they really need the money.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have breast cancer and am receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. I have been through 5 cycles and feel that I simply cannot take the last one. I am following up with radiation. There is no data on 5 vs.6 cycles. Anything enlightening you might be able to add?
Barbara Campling, MD, Medical Oncologist at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
I will answer with the assumption that you are correct that you are indeed receiving "adjuvant" chemotherapy, which is being given to decrease the chance of the cancer recurring. You sound very definite that you are not able to complete your sixth and final cycle of chemotherapy treatment. You are correct that there are no randomized data comparing the effectiveness of 5 vs 6 cycles of chemotherapy. We do know that patients that make it through the full course of chemotherapy may do a little better overall. On the other hand, in many cancers, including breast cancer, the initial chemotherapy treatments are the most beneficial. You have done well to make it through 5 cycles of chemotherapy. You should not feel that you have failed because you have not had the final chemotherapy treatment. Now that the therapy is finished, you will gradually recover from the side effects of treatment and get back to feeling well again. Radiation therapy for breast cancer is generally very well tolerated.
Oct 1, 2010 - Referring young, newly diagnosed breast cancer patients to a reproductive specialist before surgery may speed up fertility preservation procedures and allow time for two cycles of ovarian stimulation between surgery and initiation of chemotherapy, according to research published online Sept. 27 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Nationale Postcode Loterij
"The National Postcode Lottery is unparalleled in the world. It has been one of the main funders of BiD Network since 2007. In 2011 the National Postcode Lottery decided to finance a project to increase BiD Network's impact on entrepreneur by ten times. This unique web platform and the improvements we could make will follow these next two years and they are the result of their support." Thierry Sanders, Director and Founder of BiD Network
National Postcode Lottery and BiD Network
- 5 year funding contract for the BiD Network Foundation received in 2007
- Extra project funding for the BiD Web-platform and a 10x impact project worth 2 million euros
- Development of an impact measurement methodology with BiD Network, The Amsterdam Hermitage and "Natuur Monumenten".
- Development of videos of entrepreneurs for the TV programme Kanjers van Goud.
National Postcode Lottery
The National Postcode Lottery was launched in 1989. It aims to support organisations working to create a fairer, greener world by raising funds and increasing public awareness with the help of a lottery. Today, the Dutch Postcode Lottery is Holland's biggest and most popular charitable lottery and supports 89 charity organisations. Since its launch in 1989, the lottery has paid out more than 2 billion euros to its beneficiaries.
Charitable Lottery
Fifty percent of the Dutch Postcode Lottery's gross proceeds goes directly to various charities. Novamedia/Postcode Lotteries is in third place, having donated a total of £451 million for good causes across the world. Only the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in America and the Wellcome Trust in the UK (which donated £1.67 billion and £602 million respectively) are ahead as the largest private donors in the world. They include the Clinton Foundation, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Médecins Sans Frontières, Oxfam Netherlands, the World Wildlife Fund, Amnesty International and Greenpeace.
The Lucky Winners
The way the Dutch Postcode Lottery works is a classic example of a win-win situation. After all, it's not only our charities that are richly rewarded. Each year, more than 10,000 participants are treated with host of prizes, ranging from full VIP treatment at a resort to becoming a millionaire overnight with the Postcode Jackpot. The weekly street prize, in which a whole street stands to win a spectacular cash award, is popular and well known throughout the Netherlands.

Reactive arthritis is a group of conditions that may involve the joints, urethra, and eyes. These areas become swollen and inflamed. It is often in response to infections.
Reiter syndrome; Post-infectious arthritis
The exact cause of reactive arthritis is unknown. It occurs most often in men younger than age 40. It may follow an infection in the urethra after unprotected sex. It can also follow an intestinal infection (such as food poisoning).
Certain genes may make you more likely to get this condition.
The disorder is rare in young children, but it may occur in teenagers.
Urinary symptoms will appear within days or weeks of an infection. These symptoms may include:
A low fever, along with eye discharge, burning, or redness (conjunctivitis or "pink eye") can develop over the next several weeks.
Joint pain and stiffness also begins during this time period. The arthritis may be mild or severe. Arthritis symptoms may include:
Symptoms may include skin sores on the palms and soles of the feet that look like psoriasis . There may also be small, painless ulcers in the mouth, tongue, and penis .
Your health care provider will diagnose the condition based on your symptoms. A physical exam may show signs of conjunctivitis or skin sores. Symptoms may not all appear at the same time so there may be a delay in getting a diagnosis.
You may have the following tests:
The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and treat the infection that is causing this condition.
Eye problems and skin sores do not need to be treated most of the time. They will go away on their own.
Your doctor will prescribe antibiotics if you have an infection. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and pain relievers may help with joint pain. If a joint is very swollen for a long period of time, your health care provider may inject a corticosteroid medicine into the joint.
Physical therapy can help you relieve pain. It can also help you move better and maintain muscle strength. Rarely, people with a severe case of the disease may need medication to suppress the immune system.
Reactive arthritis may go away in a few weeks, but it can last for a few months. Symptoms may return over a period of years in up to half of the people who have this condition.
Rarely, the condition can lead to abnormal heart rhythm or problems with the aortic heart valve.
See your health care provider if you develop symptoms of this condition.
Avoid infections that can bring on reactive arthritis by practicing safe sex and avoiding things that can cause food poisoning .

An important performance metric for any system is reliability — does the system do what it's supposed to do, when it's supposed to do it, time after time, without fault or failure. Obviously, system reliability doesn't just happen; it's not just dumb luck when a system delivers flawless performance, whether it's your car, your cell phone, your garage door opener, or your home computer.
System reliability is designed-in. It's not a function of test, nor is it a result of customer "burn-in" (failures found and reported at the user level, then fixed in the next generation of the system). Reliability must be a key consideration from the beginning of the design process. And designing-in reliability, particularly for systems of even moderate complexity, means simulation.
With the right simulation and modeling choices, you can analyze your system's performance metrics as you change design parameters and operating conditions. Simulation, though once an optional design flow activity, is now required for all but the most basic multi-domain designs. In addition to helping you refine your nominal design, simulation lets you run system experiments without the expense and overhead of building and testing hardware prototypes. With its flexibility and efficiency, this virtual prototyping methodology trumps hardware prototyping in most system design flows.
Defining and executing simulation experiments is often the most direct way to verify design performance under a variety of system conditions. The more experiments you run, the better your design coverage and reliability; and the more you use automated methods to setup your experiments, the more experiments you can run. Simple math; no rocket science required.
SystemVision Experiment Manager helps you define system experiments, and then automatically executes your experiments via a direct link to SystemVision. Awhile back I posted a three-part blog (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) introducing Experiment Manager basics using a simple motor drive circuit. What I didn't mention, however, was using MiniTab® Statistical Software to help automate experiment definition and subsequent data analysis.
Minitab is a comprehensive statistical and graphical analysis program often used by companies in their Six Sigma and related quality improvement programs. We recently posted a new video illustrating how to use Minitab with Experiment Manager to define and run a series of experiments on a basic RLC circuit, and then analyze the simulation results. The video is just five-minutes long and you'll have an opportunity to download an information packed white paper: Model-Driven Design for Six Sigma.

Thigh Blasters: One Month to Toned Legs
Target this trouble spot with these easy moves.
Many women hate their upper legs so much that they don't even try to firm them. Mistake. "Many of your major thigh muscles your hamstrings and quadriceps as well as your butt are actually easy to tone," says Evelyn Nunlee, a New York City personal trainer for 15 years. (Inner thighs are trickier, she concedes; to target that trouble spot, add crunches and other lower-abdominal exercises, because your stomach muscles are close to those of your inner thighs.) For quickest results, do Nunlee's four-part thigh routine as well as some form of aerobic exercise three times a week. "Walking, swimming, and biking will give your upper legs definition," she says. "And in-line skating is particularly good. Women who skate have great thighs."

College Volume VIII. No. 10. BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1921 Price 10 Cents LIBERAL MEETING CONDEMNS COMPULSORY CHAPEL Mrs. Smith Explains National League for' Women Voters. Chapel attendance, reasons for and against compulsory chapel and suggestions , for an effective alternative were the basis of lively informal discussion at the Liberal Qub. meeting held last Saturday evening. The outcome was a recommendation to the Chrjftian Association that statistics be taken fiT regard to the number of people willing to pledge themselves to support chapel, and a sense of the meeting to find how many favored a chapel before a stu- dents' building. The result of this sense of the meeting was twelve in favor, six against, and eight not voting. Chief reasons for non-attendance at chapel, it was decided, are: (1) similarity between the chapel service and lectures, of which there are already too many at Col- lege; (2) the unattractiveness and discom- fort of the present chapel; (3) carelessness of people who are really willing to go to chapel; (4) the fact that there are a num- ber of people who do not want to go to chapel because they get no benefit from it, or because they do not go to church at home, and (5) frequent disappointment in chapel sermons. The worst kind of compulsory chapel, it was agreed, is that of dragging in people from the halls to make an audience after the service has begun. Giving up chapel altogether would be harmful to the reputa- tion of the College, and wotild probably ruin the possibility of a chapel being donated. As there was a strong feeling against forcing attendance on those who do not want to go to chapel, a sort of volun- tary pledge of attendance for a certain number of Sundays out of the month was generally thought to be the only practical solution. For this reason it was recom- mended to the Christian Association to get statistics as a basis for working out such a plan. LeagueAVomen Voters Explained At, the close of the discussion; Mrs. Smith professor of economics, spoke to the Club about the Bryn Mawr College branch of the National" League for Women Voters, which held a meeting tonight to hear the report of a- State conference lately held in Wilkes-Barre. Students over twenty-one, said Mrs. Smith, who would be interested in the local political ques- tions studied by the Bryn Mawr branch, or who would like to bring the questions rela- tive to their own States, are eligible for membership in the League. The College branch, which now includes only members of the faculty, would be glad to have the students join them, Mrs. Smith announced. Meetings are to be held about once every six weeks throughout the year. It was decided before the meeting broke up that a study of/the Far Eastern questions germane to 6ie Washington Con- ference should be discussed at the next meeting of the Qub. DISCUSSION OF WEEK ENDS AT f SELF-GQVEr^ENT MEETING To be No Restriction at Present Final discussion of week-ends, followed by the report of the Self-Government Con- ference held at Simmons for all colleges east of the Mississippi, on November 9, took place at a meeting of the Self- Government Association last Tuesday. -Miss Gardner, speaking in behalf of the Board, declared that they wished to drop the matter of regulating week-ends until the question had been thoroughly studied under normal conditions. As the result of investigations it has been found that only one-fifth of the College have taken more than four week-ends a semester, for both social and necessary purposes. Only in the mjnority of cases has the standard of work been lowered. At the end of each month the head procters will report the number of over-night absences, giving the reasons for such absences. Bryn Mawr was represented at the'Con- ference at Simmons College by K Gardner, '22, president of the Association for Self- Government, and J. Burgess, '22, president of the Undergraduate Association. The questions discussed were, drinking at proms in girls' and men's colleges, and try- ing to get self-government in the prepara- tory schools. The importance of this last problem is particularly felt at fblleges where there is a large incoming class, who are at first unable" to Understand the spirit of self-government. A committee Was ap- pointed to look into the matter. CYCLIC FORM MUSIC BROUGHT TO PERFECTION BY MOZART MR.

M. Inouye, the chairman of Japanese Women's Peace Association and dean of the Japanese Women's University in Tokyo, spoke in chapel last Wednesday morning, giving the reasons why Japanese women support the program for disarma- ment. Mrs. Inouye came to- Ihis country as the representative of the Association of which she is chairman, and with Mrs. Yazima presented the petition for disarma- ment signed by 50,000 leading Japanese women to Mr. Hughes and-other members of the Peace Conference.. War is the destroyer of all that women foster and protect," said Mrs. Inouye. [�"Women are not fulfilling their mission if they support it. They wish to bring their children up tb serve the world but they cannot if their children must see nations continually fighting each other." Her speech ended by an appeal from the Jap- anese women to the women of America to support every measure for the reduction of armaments. , lira, Inouyefcwas for several years a stu- dent at Columbia. After leaving Bryn Mawr last Thursday she went to several other Eastern colleges to study their methods with the purpose of bringing the standards of vhe Japan Women's Univer- sity up to American standards. Mrs. Inouye was particularly interested in Bryn Mawr, said Mrs. Inouye's hostess, Mrs. Alys Russell, because both Bryn Mawr and its president are so well known in Japan. Mrs. Inouye will visit the conference of the Federation of University Women, which meets in Paris next summer. Ulti- mately she hopes to form a federation of the university women of Japan, and then to federate this organization with the In- ternational Organization of University Women. �� * __ ney Surrett, director of the Department of Music, in opening his second lecture racital in Taylor Hall last Monday eve- ning. The lecture, with Mozart for" its subject, was illustrated by the Piano' O^rartet in G Minor, played by Mr. Horace Alwyn, associate professor of music; Mr. Thaddeus Rich, of the Rich String Quartet, and Mr. Romain Verney and Mr. Hans Kindler, of the Philadel- phia Symphony Orchestra. "Between Bach and Mozart an im- Iportant change took place," continued Mr. Surrett. "The music of Bach is that of a great thinker, but with Haydn, who followed, the element of folk-music was introduced. Moreover, Haydn was the chief agent in creating the cyclic form of composition, where three or four parts are put together successively to make up the whole, and it was this type of music in which Mozart excels and which he brings to the point of per- fection. People say that Mozart is 'too simple' because he gives them nothing of the modern sensations in music�his themes are polished, conscious, elegant, full of artistry�they fail to appreciate the full significance of the rhythmic en- tity of his compositionv-Tunally his har- monie| are very beautiful, clear, pellucid, well defined and in all he is completely the objective composer and reveals noth- ing of himself." In introduction to the playing of the quartet, Mr. Surrett explained the form of the composition. "All symphonies are monodic mainly, though in places they are distinctly polyphonic," he as- serted, and went on to explain the ele- ments of the three movements. The first movement of a sonata or symphony starts with .the exposition of the two themes of the composition, then develops them through the use of their rhythmic possibilities, and ends finally with the restatement of the themes in* their changed and amplified forms. "All good music must get somewhere," said Mr. Surrey, "and its development is vital when a great man does it." Mr. Surrett then analyzed the first movement of the quartet by having parts played to illustrate the treatment of the themes. Similarly he analyzed the sec- ond and third movements and showed that the second is slow, sentimental, and slightly ornate, and very lovely, while the last is a rondo, which requires care- ful attention for full appreciation as it contains "more things than. m.�.t. the ear." The program concluded with the play- ing of the quartet by Mr. Alwyn, Mr. Rich, Mr. Verney, and Mr. Kindler, who drew a deeply felt applause from the audience. The next lecture recital, which will deal with Brahms, will be held in the chapel on January 16. Exaggerations of Society to be Offset By Culture "La Culture' was the subject chosen by Monsieur Andre Maurice, assocAate^pro- fessor of French at Harvard, for a lecture given Friday evening under the auspices of the French Club. The significance of the word changes with the change in society, said Monsieur Maurice, and can neither be defined ex- actly, nor organized as a science. To find out the true meaning of the word" today, the essential characteristics of our civilization must be considered. "There are three facts which we cannot escape," he explained. "These arc: Democracy, which demands that the individual shall develop to become useful to the group; the necessity to specialize in order to succeed; and the com- plexity of life today, shown in the broad and receptive taste of the generation. # Books by Bernard Shaw and Pierre Loti are seen side by side without consideration as� to whether they have- anything in common." Intelligent Curiosity Stressed To counterbalance the effects of such a civilization, culture must develop individual character, permit free use of faculties, which would otherwise be cramped by too rigid a specialization, and give a certain order to a society, which tends toward disorganization. "Develop the habit of thinking well," said Monsieur Maurice, describing the methods by which such a "culture" could be-obtained. "Descartes, himself, found it took a life time to learn reason. We are unable to think, we cannot collect, weigh, and organize our ideas. We reason, to quote a certain soldier, like a cracked drum. Intelligent curiosity will also aid us in building up culture, it will show us what we know and what we do not know- Cul- ture, furthermore, must be not only an external thing; it must influence our more intimate life." Owing to the loss of his notes Monsieur Maurice ' changed his subject, originally planned to be "La Conversation." INTERCOLLEGIATE MAGAZINE MA-KES FIRST APPEARANCE (Reprinted from the Wellesley News) The efforts of students from various col- leges* to combine the best work from their literary magazines into one number each month "has finally resulted in the Intercol- legiate Magazine, the first number of which has just been issued by the Princeton Uni- versity Press. This magazine is the result of the efforts of Ruth Metzger, editor�of the Wellesley College Magazine in 1920-21, who proposed its formation last year at the Intercollegiate Conference of Magazine Editors. The magazine, however, is not as_yet an official organ of the colleges and has been issued as an independent venture. Its pur- pose is to put on the news stands a college magazine .which will contain the best ex- amples of ��der~� * -^rte^Ao^jghL^^Priocc- ton, Radcliffe, Oberlin, Harvard, an<i Wel- lesley are associated in the first number, which is made up of one-act, plays, verse, and essays. A short poem by Ruth Schlivek, a longer one by Marjorie Pack- ard, and two examples of free verse by an author who signs herself "Kent," are the contributions of Wellesley to this" first number of the magazine. �-.�-�

The Thuringia countryside is dotted with numerous preserved castles representing every era, from the age of Germanic migrations to more recent times. Prehistoric and early historical ramparts, high medieval castles and imperial palaces, plus dynastic seats from the late Middle Ages characterise the landscape. These monuments – some of which date back more than 1,000 years – have borne witness to historic events and the lives of notable figures. Idealised by Goethe, the mightiest of them all is Wartburg Castle, which was built in 1067 on a plateau overlooking Eisenach. This UNESCO World Heritage site is where Martin Luther translated the New Testament from Greek into German in 1521/22. The castle also hosted the German student fraternities' festival in 1817. As the route continues, it visits remarkable reminders of the Middle Ages, including the Bastille in Weimar, Coburg Fortress, Castle Creuzburg in the Werra valley and the trio of castles at Drei Gleichen. Kapellendorf moated castle dates from the 12th century and is now a branch of Erfurt Municipal Museum, while the Castle of the Order of St. John in Kühndorf is the only one remaining in Germany. The ruins of mighty Kyffhausen Castle, once a 600-metre-long imperial stronghold near Bad Frankenhausen, lie in the eastern foothills of the Kyffhäuser hills. Leuchtenburg Castle is situated near Kahla, where the Wettin dynasty was once a significant power. In Liebstedt, the former castle of the Teutonic Order of Knights is Europe's last surviving example of a castle traversed by a thoroughfare, having been built on the 'copper road', an old long-distance trading and pilgrimage route. Runneburg Castle can be found in Weissensee.
