XXV, No. 15 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1939 w&WSg&*flgg�Elffim PRICE 10 CENTS League Meeting Probes Phases of Social Work Growth of Volunteer Work Described by Miss Newbold RECREATION NEEDED FOR MAIDS, BLIND Goodhart, March U. � The Bryn Mawr League sponsored an afternoon conference to give people interested in various branches of the League's work a chance to discuss some of their problems with authorities on so- cial wprk. The conference opened with a short talk in the music room by Florence ewbold on volunteer work. After this, the group broke up into smaller units for the discussion of more specific problems. One group was concerned with adult education, an- other with recreation and the third with the Blind School. Miss Newbold talked about the need for volunteer workers in the present system of social work and gave a brief history of how social work grew. The first social legislation was the Elizabethan Poor Laws which were passed in 1621. Social work on an organized scale began in the U.S. in New York City in 1877 when the School of Social Work was founded. This was entirely volun- teer aid, more or less on the Lady Bountiful idea. The professional then came into the field, attempting to root out that idea and the volunteer was looked on as # a nuisance. Now the volunteer and the professional are in harmony, each recognizing the value and place of the other in the scheme. The volunteer must have something to offer, must be willing to accept supervision, willing to try new things and, most important of all, must be dependable. The volunteer is the in- terpreter of the social agency to the community and vice-versa. The group w,hich was interested in adult education listened to Peggy Wood describe methods jn which workers' education has been carried out. She declared that this education shoaW be more active than passive� discussion rather than classes�and that students should help workers in constructively solving their problems. Miss Howe discussed the changed conditions of the maids on campus. There has been improvement .in their wages and housing. Since the negro race has never had much leisure time and now hire more, it is important that they be taught how to use their time. Plays,, singing and classes are Continued on Pace Five Students To Benefit By Hospital Insurance Faculty Committee Views Plan Which Will Include Services Of Staff Surgeon ,K faculty committee has been in- vestigating various plans of hospital insurance which can be used by the students next year. The Associated Hospital Service Plan of Philadelphia was considered for the college and the faculty have already joined the group. However, since this plan does not include the services of a surgeon during sickness, but covers only hos- pital expenses, it has bean rejected as unsuitable for the studjmts' purposes. Mrs. Manning feels that most bene- fit would be derived from the insur- ance in the case of appendicitis, and therefore it is profitable to adopt a plan which would provide for the services of a surgeon. These benefits are found only in a hospital insur- ance plan which originated in Boston and which is being successfully used at Vassar. The annual premium of $15 is slightly higher than that of the Associated Service Hospital Plan, but the services include medical at- tention from a staff surgeon of the hospital as well as hospital expenses. The patient is entitled to a semi-pri- vate room in one of the recognized hospitals of the association or is al- lowed a certain percentage of the rate on a private room. The insurance can be transferred to apply to hospitals throughout the country, although the students will join the group in Bryn Mawr. * The faculty committee had hoped to arrange for the students to use the hospital insurance by the second se- mester, but in trying to find the most suitable plan there have been a num- ber of delays. The plan which de- cides to adopt will be presented be- fore May, however, so that it can be used in 1939-40. A. S. U. Urges Support For Social Legislation Student Body Asked to Endorse Human Rights Roll Call (Specially contributed by E. Di- mock, 'il.) The A. S. U. is launching Thursday the Human Rights-Roll Call asking for broad student and faculty support for a legislative conference to be held next December. The A. S. U. does not intend to sponsor such a conference aloi;e, but is urging other student groups to join with it in the" actual preparation. The objective of this conference is the formation of con- crete proposals for liberal social Continued on Paste Six * Early Editions of 'News' Oppose Limited Cuts, Support Suffrage, "Beauless Club" The College Newt originated in 1914, primarily, we suspect, in order to join in the war over cuts which was then being waged. The day when the faculty were addressed as "au- gust," by the Philistine is now past; instead, they are sharply reprimanded by the News because they refuse to state their reasons for supposing that cutting should not be left to the ma- ture discretion of the student. The News holds editorially that under- graduates want to study and that when education becomes subject to compulsion it has lost - its purpose. The faculty, Jiowever, remained adam- r ant and cuts were limited. A sidelight on the fray comes a few weeks later. A letter from a student to the News wjrffis under- graduates to attend chapel regularly, for if they do not, the faculty will make a rule about it. Reflections from the war came to the News almost weekly, in the form of lectures by eminent scholars such as George Macauley Trevelyan, and also letters�in both French and Eng- lish�from alumnae and others. By 1916 students were thernselves active in organizing Red Cross urfits, knit- ting socks and collecting money. The question of "preparedness courses" came up, and after much deliberation, the faculty decided that, among others, "a course in farming which Dr. Gray has offered to give," would be acceptable as a substitute for a regular course. After the war, political feeling still ran high. The "Hoover Club" in 1920 had 85 members. The elections of 1920 gave rise to a Four Party Rally, at which Dr. Fenwick, characterized by the News as "a hot Democrat," eulogized the League and Woodrow Wilson, whUe Dr. Crenshaw told stu- dents to vote for Eugene Debs. An undercurrent of feeling about) the orals appears almost every spring and fall. In 1920, the News sadly reports that 66 per cent of those re- taking the German oral failed. Several of the contestants were might- have-been graduates of the class of 1919. ^-Snorts figure largely�in quality as wellaV-quantity.

Science Club Hears Talk On Descartes Cartesian System Described in Relation to Later Math By Miss Lehr Common Room, March 6.�Margue- rite Lehr of the mathematics depart- ment discussed the historical signi- ficance of Descartes' Essay on Geom- etry at a meeting of the Science Club. Her presentation was, she said, of such notions as would occur to a mathematician working on the essay. Miss Lehr showed how the minimum assumptions we have made in mathe- matics by the end of a year of algebra and geometry are different from the common basis in Descartes' time. In trying to discern the importance of this work by examination of it alone, Miss Lehr stressed the neces- sity of distinguishing between the no- tations we assume today and the dif- ferent meanings in use in 1637. Before Descartes' time, algebra and geometry were quite separate studies. Although negative numbers have been used to some extent, in terms of debt, in India six centuries previously, the influence of Greek mathematics and, possibly, the prevalent awkward forms PlaVerS ClUD PlanS �* nation, postponed this treatment in Europe until the seventeenth cen- tury. Descartes' explanation of his method, -which is, Miss Lehr said, as good today as it ever was, proceeded as follows. You must first consider your problem as done and name all the lines that enter into the final con- The cause of the Theatre Workshop struction. From this write down Ultf possible relations among the parts. You must go through these relations in the order which seems logical until you find two ways of saying the same thing. This, says Descartes, will be called an equation. rers Club Plans Two One-Act Plays Haverford W�H Fill Male Parts In Modern Dramas by Synge and Kilpatrick will receive additional support next Saturday when the Players Club pre- sents two one-act plays, The New School for Wives by John Kilpatrick, and Riders to the Sea by John Synge, under the direction of. Eleanor Em- ery, '40, and Pennell Crosby, '41. Haverford is supplying male talent and Malcolm Smith, who should be Tamiliar to those who saw him play Nicola in the Bryn Mawr and Haver- ford production of Arms and the Man earlier this year will have the leading juvenile role in the Kilpatrick play. Sara Algood, a member of the Ab- bey Players, has indirectly contrib- uted by making recordings under the supervision of Miss Henderson, of the part of Maurya in Riders to the Sea. These recordings are being used to in- spire the Bryn Mawr production. As in recent similar presentations, the scenery for the plays will be kept fairly simple with realistic properties and a box set. Vivi French, '42, who plays Catherine in the Irish play is learning how to manipulate the spin- ning wheel borrowed for this occasion from the Cottage Tea Room. To give the production added authenticity the choir will be used for keening. MARJORIE EDWARDS, VIOLINIST, TO PERFORM FOR WORKSHOP FUND j. On Monday evening, March 18, Marjorie Edwards, 16-year-old violin prodigy, will give a recital in Good- hart for the benefit of the Theatre Workshop. Miss Edwards is a Cali- fornian, and gave her first recital in San Francisco three years ago where she was enthusiastically received. � She became known in the East when her teacher, Kathleen Parlow, was brought to Pittsfield to take the First Violin Chair in the South Mountain Quartet. Miss Edwards' parents felt that it was so imperative that she continue with the same teacher that they moved East with her where her p|aying�was the sensation of the $erk- shire Music Festival. At a subsequent recital at Town Hall in New York the talented young violinist was acclaimed by both au- dience and critics. The tour which she is now on is her first; her other performances on it have justified the words of Albert Spalding, who said of her, "I consider her unusually gifted. She shows qualities of heart and imagination in her playing, added lo_a remarkable facility^!!---------------- Fritz Kurzweil, Austrian Pianist, Appears Here a Varied Program Includes Selections From Bach To Prokofieff Continued on Page Sli GALA DEANERY PARTY INCLUDES FIRE EATING AND SLEIGHT-OF-HAND Deanery, March 1.�The evening of fun for faculty and students given by the Deanery Entertainment Commit- tee began with a gala dinner, then passed through a stage of magic mixed with gate prizes of candy for the tickets with_the lucky numbers and ended, more "eofiventionally, with bridge. The magic consisted of sword swallowing and sleight-of-hand tricks while the dinner had most excellent food and the bridge, the usual four suits. The two magicians were amazing. So that we might appreciate how great an art sword swallowing is, a short technical history was given tell- ing how the art had begun with fire eating. The latter skill was handed down by word of mouth for genera- tions until finally man so perfected the art that he could even swallow swords. One of the magicians then took some flaming Blue Sunoco and ate it with evident relish, advocating this particular brand of gas-for any interested In trying the feat. More remarkable yet, the other man swallowed a twenty-three-inch sword which probably sets a new mark in the history of this art. Part of the necessary training, said the per- former, are stretching exercises and special diets so as to elongate the dis- tance from the throat to the bottom of the stomach. The next feat, a combination of -numbers and sleight-of-hand work, was good but not good enough to es- cape detection by a group of eminent Bryn Mawr biologists. Besides this trick the magicians made red thimbles appear from nowhere onto their hands, cards turn up unexpectedly and ropes b� cut off yet never be shortened. All was done by only a few gestures and one or tw6 words in Pali. After these tricks the guests settled down to cards. No rumors of the magic being carried over to this field have been heard of, except the usual prejudicial opinions stated in the heat of the bridge struggle.----------,--------------�-�i-------- Deanery, March 5.�Dr. Fritz Kurz- weil, an Austrian pianist, gave an ex- tremely interesting piano recital in the Deanery Sunday afternoon. Musical temperament and adequate technique combined to make the event a real treat, and all but overcame the dis- advantage of a poor piano. He se- lected compositions from Bach to Prokofieff, which, while they did not attempt to depict the development of music, gave the listeners a profitable glimpse into various methods of com- position. Emphasis was on the shorter type. With the exception of the "Pa- thetique" Sonata, the selections^gi^ve"� us quick but memorable impressions of the different composers. First an organ prelude, arranged by Busoni, presented Bach jn a somber, majestic mood. It progressed slowly, giving the effect of compressing tremendous emotional powers into simple outlines. Then came Beethoven's "Pa- thetique," which, perhaps more than any other of his early works, shows the individuality which was to^ rise to epoch-making proportions. Dr. Kurzweil's interpretation! did not shine in comparison with ivtya Hess's recent performance of it here; al- though he did justice to its spirit one did not feel that he had made it his own. At times more nioderate tempo would have been more satisfactory. Next he played ap Intermezzo by Max Reger, a composer not well known here, but greatly esteemed by the younger generation in Germany. The composition was full of sound of the impressionistic variety, yet closely woven � in emotional content. The Brahms Intermezzo in E flat major and Rhapsodie in the same key were beautiful in a more" solid way. The Intermezzo suffered less from the pi- ano than did the more vigorous Rhapsodie. "� Both here and in the four Chopin compositions heard next the pianist Continued on Page Five, Rents to be Raised In Language Houses French, German Halls Considered Successful Experiment Music Room, March 23.�In Chapel Mrs. Manning discussed the revised plans for residence in the French and German Houses. She feels that the houses have proved one of the most successful experiments ever made at Bryn Mawr, both from the standpoint of teaching the spoken language and that of actual enjoyment. The col- lege feels, however, that residents should be chosen for a full year and that the tentative quality in regard to the holding of rooms be given up. To make up the deficit in room rents and to pay for instruction, $1,696 have been expended on the French House alone. To avoid the necessity of having the college budget bear this expense, it has been decided that every student shall be charged an extra 50 dollars. Mrs. Manning feels that it is only right that this deficit should be made up by those students who are benefiting by the extra instruction and attention; how- ever, exceptions will perhaps be made in the case of certain students who cannot afford this. The students favored for residence in the language houses are upper classmen, majors in either language, or those with special ability or need. Mrs. Manning urged that all applica- tions be iikuIc a- soon as possible with �ither Miss Gilinan, Mr. Diez, or Mrs. Manning so that the lists may be tm- tatvely drawn up during the sprng vacation------.---------------------.�r-------1�

Young George Washington was raised a Mason in this lodge in 1752.
The Masonic Lodge at Fredericksburg is one of the most historic Lodges and one of the oldest in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Although its building has only been around since 1816, its members have existed as a standing organization officially since 1752 recorded.
During the Revolution, this Lodge provided George Washington, Hugh Mercer, George Weedon, William Woodford, Fielding Lewis, Thomas Posey, Gustavus Wallace, the Marquis de Lafayette and ninety-four other of its brethren to the cause of American liberty.
Fredericksburg Lodge established America's oldest Masonic Cemetery in 1784, and maintains it to this day (with the help of the adjacent James Monroe Museum).
Entrusted to us are historical artifacts of great social and Masonic value such as the Holy Bible on which Brother George Washington took his Masonic Obligations, three hand-crafted Masonic "Warden's chairs" from Colonial America, a punch bowl used by the Marquis de Lafayette in 1824 when he became an honorary member, and an original Gilbert Stuart painting of George Washington (the same picture you see on the dollar bill). These are just to name a few of the "National Treasures" that we strive to preserve.

YORK COUNTY — It was one for the record books, at least for the city of Portland.Maine's largest city was buried in 31.9 inches of snow last Saturday by the time the blizzard of 2013 — also known as Winter Storm Nemo — wound down.Gorham reported receiving 35.5 inches of snow during the Feb. 8 and 9 snowstorm, and while there was no official tally for how much snow Sanford received, Kennebunk and Wells received 26 inches and 25.6 inches respectively, according to information collected on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website.The website showed wind gusts up to 49 miles per hour in Sanford during the winter storm, which accounts for the unusual snow drifts left behind.As Maine residents continued to dig out from the weekend's blizzard, another storm on Monday added several more inches of snow topped with rain and freezing rain to York County. Winter Storm Nemo caused 18,420 outages, beginning around noon on Friday, with a peak of 11,467 customers without power on Saturday morning, according to Central Maine Power Company (CMP). The utility company had made extensive preparations as the storm approached New England, and crews were able to keep pace with repairs as outages were reported during the storm.

Lamb Elementary School on Shaw's Ridge Road, was so impressed by the designs of the snow drifts around the school after Winter Storm Nemo that he made sure to take pictures of them before he removed them all in time for students and staff to return for class on Monday morning.

Those who have elderly family members under their care would share this concern: "How do I look after them when I am away for work and such?"
Well, you should go for home care!
These workers can work in your very home and take care of the seniors. This makes you free to go anywhere but still be with the peace of mind that they are being attended to.
So, in hiring health care assistance, what is needed to be done?
1. Look for candidates.
After you decide to get a carer, you must now start to search for prospects. You can ask recommendation from friends, neighbors and/or colleagues. You can even post that you are in need of a health care worker in your workplace, in a hospital or anywhere, really, where anyone can read and see it. Making use of technology would be great too. Text or announce the news online. Or better yet, you can just explore any home care institutions on the Web. They all have their contact information in there, so you can just give them a call anytime.
2. Get in touch.
Select a few so that you will have many options. Having more choices can be a good move because if the first one you call is not up to your standards, you can always go for the next ones. As you contact them, always be direct in what you want and what you can offer. Listen to what the other party can say as well. Note that it is important that both of you will have a smooth and open communication. This will be beneficial especially after you hire them because it just means you will have a harmonious working relationship.
3. Ask for credentials.
Of course, you have to see and inspect if this particular carer is a professional in the field. You will entrust your elderly parents to him or her after all and if they lack in terms of expertise, skills and experience, it can be quite risky. Check if they are licensed and certificated especially locally. You can even go as far as doing a background check. This is a form of security for you and the seniors.
4. Formulate a contract.
Having a clear agreement made can definitely help you avoid any problems in the future, more so legally. If employment terms such as responsibilities, duties, compensation, taxes and the like are properly stated, recorded and agreed upon, this partnership will be very well safe and protected.
It is indeed very advantageous to have an expert in the home to cater to the older folks. Even if emergencies can occur, you can be guaranteed that there will be an immediate and effective response.
So, if you are looking for the best health care assistance for your household, there is home care Bayswater and others in the United Kingdom ready to serve you. They are competent and trustworthy; you will surely have the value of your money.

Gender, equity and human rights at the core of the health response
1 May 2012 -- As part of the current reform process, the World Health Organization has launched a new approach to promote and facilitate the institutional mainstreaming of gender, equity and human rights, building upon the progress that has already been made on these areas at all three levels of the Organization.
Strengthening capacity to address harmful health effects of gender
Over the past five years, WHO's Gender, Women and Health Network has been piloting and developing practical capacity building materials to assist in the progressive mainstreaming of gender considerations in health sector activities. The Gender Mainstreaming Manual for Health Managers: a practical approach serves as the core capacity building manual, with a range of tools available to support national teams to identify and address gender and health inequities. Tools and strategies fit within the overall framework of the WHO Gender Strategy.

It's the end of an era.
One of the most storied duos in American fashion is parting ways as, after 16 years at Coach Inc. Reed Krakoff will step down in June 2014 as president and executive creative director in order to focus exclusively on his high-end namesake brand. Krakoff will exit Coach six months after its chairman and chief executive officer, Lew Frankfort, cedes the ceo title to Victor Luis, but will remain executive chairman.
Coach has begun a search for Krakoff's successor, setting off speculation as to who might take on the role.
The news of Krakoff's impending departure had no negative impact on Coach's shares — in fact, they rose 9.8 percent Tuesday to close at $55.55 on the back of strong third-quarter numbers. Coach reported a 6.2 percent increase in net income to $238.9 million on a 7.1 percent rise in sales to $1.19 billion for the third quarter ended March 30. This compares with net profits of $225 million on sales of $1.11 billion in the same period a year earlier.
"I'm [pleased] to focus exclusively on the RK brand and to embark on the next phase of my career," Krakoff told WWD from a bright conference room on the 12th floor of Coach's headquarters in New York. "It's relatively recent [that I made this decision], I've been so focused on Coach and the RK brand for the last bunch of years. I've been focused on preparing and getting ready for the next evolution of Coach, building a team with Lew, moving forward....It's really taken up all my time."
The creative director said he would not renew his contract with Coach when it expires in June 2014. The news follows decision by the 67-year-old Frankfort, who is widely regarded as the architect behind Coach's, to transition to executive chairman next year when Victor Luis, president of Coach international, becomes ceo.
As part of that transition, Krakoff, 49, would have had to report to Luis. In light of Krakoff's new plans, he will act more as an adviser to Coach than creative director until June 2014. Karen Harvey Consulting has been hired to find Krakoff's successor.
The New York-based accessories brand, which launched Krakoff's brand two-and-a-half years ago, said it would explore "strategic options" for the RK collection that "may involve a sale to a group, in which Krakoff would participate."
As part of his new mission, Krakoff said he hopes to "create more awareness" around his line, which includes growing its global presence, as well as developing key segments such as its men's business.
"We've had an amazing reaction to the brand, without much awareness, whether it's been with Michelle Obama, or on the cover of Vogue or the windows at Saks or Bergdorf's," he said. "It's really to leverage the desire that we already see."
RELATED STORY: Reed Krakoff Fall 2013 >>
Frankfort echoed Krakoff, adding that the brand has experienced "substantial growth." Although he would not put a number to that growth, he did point to RK's distribution, which includes the Madison Avenue flagship, two additional freestanding stores in Las Vegas and Short Hills, N.J., and nine concession locations in Saks Fifth Avenue. The brand is also sold at Saks, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus; in international stores including Lane Crawford, Colette, Le Bon Marché, Harrods and Tsum, and on Net-a-porter.
Saks was the retail launch partner for the Reed Krakoff label in 2010 and currently has several shops-in-shop for its handbags and sells the ready-to-wear in select locations. The retailer's Manhattan flagship was set to welcome the designer for a personal appearance at the Reed Krakoff handbag boutique on the main floor on Wednesday.
"I got to know Reed through Coach and was so impressed with Reed and Lew, two of the most professional people in our industry," said Ron Frasch, president and chief merchant of Saks. "We launched the brand, and we have done very well. I am pleased for Reed. If this is what he wants, I couldn't be happier."
Frasch called the move "a really big deal."
"He has already made a commitment. Now he is making a bigger commitment, to his own stand-alone brand," he said. "It's giving him more opportunity to be the face of one brand versus being the face of two brands."
Frasch added that it will also serve the brand well as the designer further develops his direct-to-consumer channel through freestanding stores.
Linda Fargo, Bergdorf Goodman's senior vice president of the fashion office and store presentation, said, "Reed has so clearly defined the DNA of Coach that it should be able to continue and evolve without his daily attentions. It's exciting for him, and for us, that he will be able to focus more intensively on [the Reed Krakoff label].
"The news bodes very well for his namesake brand," she added.
As for who could succeed Krakoff at Coach, Terre Simpson, president of Simpson Associates, an executive search firm, said she would advise identifying very high-profile executive designers in global brands such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Jimmy Choo "that could translate to the Coach aesthetic and lifestyle concept they are seeking to maximize."
Some names that have popped up as possible successors to Krakoff are Tracy Gardner, former president of J. Crew brand, direct and retail, who's now a consultant to the Gap, and Deborah Lloyd, president and chief creative officer of Kate Spade.
Known as one of the best merchant-marketers, Krakoff is "extremely commercial, and that's a compliment," said one source. "He has a sense of what works and what doesn't work. He can take a trend in the market and make it Coach's.…I don't think they need another president, they need a creative director. I think the person who's coming in has a much harder job than Reed had. It's a hard job because Reed is so good at it. He's the product voice behind Coach, and he has been for years."
Elaine Hughes, owner of E.A. Hughes, an executive search firm, said, "Any company, especially one that's publicly traded, where there's a stall in stock price and comes a resurgence of a new brand, like a Michael Kors, when you have a change of the ceo at the top, it impacts everything."
She said that Krakoff was an integral part of taking Coach from a leather resource to a multifabric, diverse handbag, small leather goods, footwear and apparel firm. "There are no names that pop into my head as an overall creative director because there isn't a singular individual in any multibillion company that does it. What Reed has that is unique is he not only had a great aesthetic sense and an understanding of raw material, but he also had a good business head," said Hughes.
"Reed, like a John Varvatos, started his career at Polo Ralph Lauren. What they saw was a creative genius that kept his hand on the product. Everything had to be approved by Ralph. That is very similar to how John Varvatos runs his business, and how Reed runs his business. There are very few people who do that, who are not a principal of a company. You can't look at Tory Burch and say she's a possibility because she owns the company.…Vince Camuto is a design genius, but he owns the company....It could be somebody from Europe. Europe has a lot of visionary talent. It's a matter of who can calibrate to that and how do you commercialize that to billions of dollars," said Hughes.
She said that under Luis, there will be an evolution of the Coach culture. "He's a global thinker, he's a very collaborative guy, and no matter what the company is, the culture stems from the ceo office," she said.

Name: Max Cyrano
Epitaph: "Cutting Chatterbox"
Position: Cook
Appearance: Standing at 5'10 and weighing a whopping 130 lbs, Max doesn't look that impressive at all. Very thin despite his love of cooking (most believe he burns all the calories by talking) it has allowed him to be very manuverable and flexible. He has short brown hair and brown eyes and usually has a big smile on his face, especially when he's talking. His attire consists of long black pants and a dark green collar long sleeve collar shirt, buttoned up in the front and black shoes as well. Max also wears a belt with two small holders at each hip for his Knives, which he carries with him everywhere.
Weapon of Choice: Like any good cook, he never goes anywhere without his trusty Chef Knives. All of them are roughly 12 incehes long and Max has 4 of them in total. They are all named after a different blue sea. Max uses two of them at a time in battle. He usually tries to rotates between them evenly but instead tends to use his "East" and "West" knives the most in battle.
Attack List Theme: Types of Cuts in cooking.
Slice - A simple downward slash at the opponent with a single knife. Nothing fancy
Dice - Uses one blade to slash sideways while the other to slash vertically. Varies the size of the slashes based on the size of the opponent
Julienne - Uses both knives to slash vertically or horizontally in a fine line
Mince - Quick Stabs aimed at the opponent's midsection with both or just one knife
(etc, etc, will add more when the time comes/decides to stop being lazy)
Personality Defect: Max often talks out loud to himself rather than thinking.
Traits: A man who could talk your ear off and then some, Max doesn't hold back in conversations. Max isn't shy about who he talks with either. Be it strangers, friends, or even himself, it doesn't matter to him so long as they can listen. However, he doesn't appear to have many interests outside of cooking, so all of his other hobbies tend to revolve around making himself better in the art of cooking (either by reading or observing other chefs in action). When not cooking or preparing however, he can be seen juggling his knives or throwing them at a target to work on his hand eye coordination more.
As for the meals, Max only has three rules: (1) Finish what you're given, (2) Don't insult the meal, and (3) NEVER come into the kitchen when he's cooking (captain is excluded from rule #3). If any of these rules are broken a knife is sure to follow shortly towards the rule breaker's head. Those who are lucky it grazes their hair, and those who aren't tend to get a knife to the skull.
Devil Fruit: None
Basic Bio: Born to a rather poor family without much to themselves, Max became fascinated with the art of cooking while he was young. Often drawn to the delicious smells in his hometown, he was eventually allowed to work at one of the establishments. It was there that Max began to show his annoying habits and was eventually fired for being detrimental to the team as a whole. Max took that criticism to heart and decided that if he was that detestable as a co-worker, there was only one place for him: with pirates.
Goal: To sample all the food in the world, and from that create the ultimate seven course feast with the foods he feels are the best
Heightened Attribute: Hand-Eye Coordination

XL, NO. 23 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26,1944 Copyright, 1 ruil�es of Bryn Mawr Coll****. 1944 PRICE 10 CENTS Spain a Menace To Allied Invasion Del Vayo Declares South American Fascism Openly Encouraged by Franco Spain Goodhart, April 19. Julio Al verez Del Vayo, addressing the eighth War Assembly on Spain and the War, expressed his opin- ion that Franco Spain constitutes a hazard to an Allied invasion and is the root of the United States' South American difficulties. The Spanish war of 1936-1939 was, in his opinion, the first battle of World War II. Pointing out that "it is very difficult to be neutral in this war", he traced the history and hopes of Spain in this conflict from the angle of her present predicament. The Spanish Republicans have never admitted France's neutral- ity, a fact "surprising only be- cause it took so long to recognize", Mr. Del Vayo said. When Mr. Stettinius and the British govern- ment proposed sending aid to Spain, Mr. Del Vayo opposed it on the ground that all material relief goes to Germany. This, however, has not influenced Argentina and other South American countries that send supplies. "Next month will prove whether or not it was too dangerous to al- low the Franco regime to contin- Contmurd on Page 3 Maids', Porters' Show Reveals Comic Talent The success of the Maids' and Porters' production of "Gems Gowns and Gals" by Charles George was an immediate result of the spirit of the actors and the enthusiastic response of the audi- ence. Rather than being hindered by the unfinished acting and lack of stage presence, the perform- ance was heightened by the hilar- ity of the easy informality. The plot of the one act play centers in the discovery of a no- torious jewel thief by a disguised detective and an ingenious model. Nokomis White of Wyndham showed great initiative in her in- terpretation of the leading role, while Merion's Al Mackey was outstanding in his interpretation of the jealous and affectionate lover. These two sang the expressive duet, "Say Yes". Playing the part of a detective disguised as a woman, Louis White of Denbigh displayed real comic talent. Clad in a white turban and silk print dress, Louis stole the show in his rendering of an embarrassed old maid on a shopping tour. Louise Jones of Pembroke was charming as Gaston de Vere's as- sistant and showed exceptional poise and stage presence. The dif- ficult role of Gaston, complete with French accent and fluttering gestures, was admirably portrayed by Pearl Edmonds of Taylor. Swaggering on the stage in an enormous fedora, Minnie Newton of Pembroke had difficulty in con- trolling her laughter which added to the general spirit of fun that pervaded the comedy. Denbigh's Hilda Bryan and Mer- ion's Vivian Drew were very con- vincing as the New York snobs Conlinuti on Page 3 Comparison of Art Of West and Orient Discussed by Yahkub Goodhart, April 19. In the last in his series of lectures on Indian Culture, Mr. Yahkub discussed Indian Art, its aesthetic values as formulated by the oriental mind and the general forms in which it appears. Declaring that western medie- val and oriental concepts of art are united in the belief that the artist and the object meet, he quoted Dante's statement: "Who paints a figure, if he cannot be it, he cannot draw.it." No art can be judged, he said, until we put our- selves in the place of the artist, and thus the self-identification of artist with object, and spectator with artist repeats the process of creation. Taking the icon as an exam- ple, he declared Indian art to be ideal, not in appearance, but in operation. The formal element of art represents intellectual activity, as the icon is not natural in ap- pearance, but rather an ideal rep- resentation of -the parts of God. Thus a mental rather than visual ability to relate these parts is re- quired. Defects in the work of the artist are remedied by the spectators' fixed views of the con- cept which the artist is trying to express. Worship is thereby paid to an image mentally conceived and the knower and known, the seer and seen meet in the act. A major difference between ori- ental and western art is that the former represents a continuous state of things, not as they are at the moment, "but as they are in their source." This disinterest in transient effects is reflected in the lack of historical interest in In- dian art, Mr. Yahkub said. Occi- dentals might consider Indian art monotonous as the subjects are modeled on formal lines. Indian art is further character- Continutu on Ptgr * H.

At present Dean of the graduate school of politics and professor of international relations in the grad- uate school of the New School for social research, Dr. Simons came from Germany when the Nazis, rose to power. Dr. Simons receiv- ed his degree of Doctor of Laws at the University of Koenigsberg. In pre-Nazi Germany Dr. Si- mons held several important gov- ernmental positions. At the close of the last war he participated in the German delegation to Versail- les. In addition he was advisor in the Reich Home Office and in the Prussian Office of the Interior. Subsequently he became the di- rector of the Institute of Political Science in Berlin. In 1929 he was elected district governor of Pom- erania ,and in 1930 district gover- nor of Lower Silesia. Lecturing widely in Europe be- fore the war, Dr. Simons has con- tinued his activities in the United States and Canada. He has been visiting lecturer at the universi- ties of Columbia and New York, and is a member of a commission to study the organization of the peace.

"I'm Charley's Aunt from Brazil, where the nuts come from," simpered Lord Fancort Babberley (alias Charles C. Ryrie, '46), and the lid was off on an uproarious per- formance of Charley's Aunt by the Haverford Cap and Bells Club and the Bryn Mawr Players' Club. A bit dull in the first few min- utes, the play quickly gained mo- mentum and kept on going in high. The dialogue went with al- most professional smoothness and a good deal more zeal, while timing, staging and various other mechanical matters were expertly handled. Laurels Top laurels for acting went to Charles Ryrie. He did full justice to a meaty part, even adding to its comic possibilities by his res- trained slapstick. Where he learned the delicate craft of re- fusing proposals ("I couldn't be happy with a man like that") is unknown, but he is a master. He also boasts a knack for matter of fact phrasing of odd statements. "Where's my antimacassar?" he asks in an offhand fashion or "Six pence worth of hairpins, Brassett." This subdued manner carried Lord Fancourt nicely over his melodra- matic moments, though he was undoubtly more convincing as an aunt than as a young lover. Costumes For the rest, Gerry Pattison, '47 and Nanette Emery, '47 drift- ed about in lovely "period" cos- tumes accompanied by .John Ar- nett, Jr., '47 and Roger Bacon, '47 in rather modern plaid shirts. All four were quite competent, but they had no particularly brilliant lines. There were several awk- ward moments, as in the clumsily done love scenes, for instance, which seemed as much the fault of the script as of the actors. Frank Martin, '47 interpreted with humorous understanding a plump and somewhat hammy col- onel, while Laurence Steefel, '47 as little Spettigue, another mid- dle-aged gallant, came close to stealing the show in spots. The bit players too were all that could be desired.

"A poem", she stated, "should haVe a continuity, should have an effect of underlying continuity. It should be articulated throughout as are the joints in a vertebrate." "Poetry," she continued, "is emo- tion's precipitate". Asked what she believes to be the place of poetry in the world today, Miss Moore stated, "First of all, I think it must be personal and a thing inevitable for the writer before it has a place in the world at large." Miss Moore said that her ad- vice to young poets was not to undertake a subject unless irre- sistably attracted to it. "Feel- ing", she said, "should be your guide." Writing, Miss Moore continued, should be trying to set down "an unbearable accuracy." Poetry, she explained, cannot be written to order. "I would refuse to write", said Miss M<3ore, "if I didn't feel im- pelled to write."

EOG Resources Achieves #87 Analyst Rank, Surpassing Marathon Oil
In a study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages, for the underlying components of the S&P 500, EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) has taken over the #87 spot from Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO), according to ETF Channel. Below is a chart of EOG Resources, Inc. versus Marathon Oil Corp. plotting their respective rank within the S&P 500 over time (EOG plotted in blue; MRO plotted in green):
In forming the rank, the analyst opinions from the major brokerage houses were tallied, and averaged; then, the underlying components were ranked according to those averages. Investors often interpret analyst opinions from different angles — a popular analyst pick could mean that many sharp minds individually came to the same bullish conclusion, and therefore the stock should do well... but it could also mean that if the company makes any slight stumble, that would come as a negative surprise and cause a downward impact on the stock.
The Current Top 25 Broker Analyst Picks of the S&P 500 »
From the other direction, when companies have a low rank among analysts, it isn't necessarily the case that investors should conclude that the stock will perform poorly. It can mean that of course, but: a bullish investor who can make a case for a positive future catalyst could also take the contrarian angle and recognize that there is lots of room for upside since the stock is presently so out of favor.
For these reasons, we at ETF Channel find value to putting together these rankings, because both the top and the bottom ends of the lists can often make for some interesting stock picking ideas for further research. START SLIDESHOW:

Many pundits insisted that "partisanship" should play no part in the discussion of the July 7 terrorist attacks in London. But it seemed like business as usual in the right-wing media--as commentators used the attacks to score political points for their side and promote their pet agendas.
On Fox News Channel's Special Report (7/7/05), Jeff Birnbaum seemed hopeful that the attacks would mean a rise in the polls for George W. Bush:
Birnbaum's co-panelist, Bill Sammon of the Washington Times, agreed: "I think the entire conversation changes now. You know, we were talking about Gitmo and whether the prisoners had sufficient comforts.... That debate is obliterated. And now we're back to, guess what? Good and evil. I mean, this is what Tony Blair, and Jack Straw, and all these people were talking about. They're talking about using words like wicked and evil, the words that Bush was mocked for using by his detractors when 9/11 happened. But that's where the conversation's back to. We're not talking about global warming. We're not talking about Gitmo. We're back to the basics. We are at war."
Oddly, Birnbaum's response to that was to predict a dip in partisanship: "I think, in fact, partisanship, at least in the short run, will be diminished." That would be true if one were defining partisanship merely as criticism of Bush, since praising Bush and criticizing his "detractors" is apparently not partisan. Fox panelist Fred Barnes made that point even clearer by noting an exception to the non-partisan trend: "Not for Jane Harman," Barnes interjected-- referring to the Democratic Congresswoman who had suggested that the war in Iraq was not making the U.S. or its allies safer.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough seemed to declare (7/7/05) any and all criticism of the White House unacceptable: "Earlier today, you had Hillary Clinton, senator for New York, coming out and actually criticizing George Bush, criticizing our government, saying that we're just not spending enough money on counterterrorism." The clip that followed was a dry recitation of federal domestic security budgets cuts-- hardly an unimaginable topic for discussion after the London attacks.
Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity also lamented that the left had dared to criticize the Bush administration (7/7/05): "I have felt at almost every step of the way from the very beginning, they have often undermined the president's war on terror. And they have accused him of targeting civilians for assassination, accused him of starting a war for political gain, accusing him of being responsible for torture policies when no such thing came true. It seems like they've always looked to politicize it, which has hurt our effort to unite and combat this."
While Hannity was lamenting such "politicization," he was also practicing it: "And doesn't events like this actually prove that the president is actually right, inasmuch as we knew Saddam used chemical weapons and biological weapons against his on his own people. We knew he wouldn't abide by the cease-fire agreement or the U.N. resolutions."
Other outlets found it an opportune time to promote White House policies. The Washington Times editorialized (7/8/05): "The London attacks, like the train bombings last year in Madrid, required a high degree of coordination and detail, suggesting a plot planned well in advance. And yet here we are arguing whether to dismantle key provisions in the Patriot Act."
On the Wall Street Journal's editorial page (7/8/05), Daniel Henninger seized the moment to back the White House's candidate for U.N. ambassador: "If the U.S. Senate wanted to send a signal of resolve and seriousness to whoever bombed London, Democrats would join with Republicans their first day back to dispatch proven anti-terror warrior John Bolton straight to the U.N. They won't. They'll keep playing political fiddles while London burns."
Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly was more hopeful that the London killings would change the minds of those he disagrees with. "My first thought was Al-Qaeda trying to disrupt the G-8 summit in Scotland," explained O'Reilly (7/7/05). "My second thought was now maybe Europe will wise up. The terrorists are the evildoers, not the USA."
(In contrast, Fox's Brit Hume said his "first thought" when he heard about the attack was: "Hmmm, time to buy" stock market futures--Media Matters, 7/7/05.)
When O'Reilly wasn't criticizing the governments of France and Germany for being soft on terrorism, he was blaming the press: "The anti-American press both here and in Europe is actually helping the terrorists by diminishing their threat." To make his point even clearer, O'Reilly asked one guest, "Have you read The Guardian lately? I mean, it might be edited by Osama bin Laden. I mean, that's how bad that paper is."
O'Reilly seemed to almost be blaming the victims, wondering why Islamist terrorists would even bother attacking Europe: "What good does it do to Al-Qaeda to alienate Europe when Europe has basically been, not on their side but certainly putting the U.S. as the big villain and de-emphasizing, as I say sanitizing, what Al-Qaeda has done. What good does it do Al-Qaeda to alienate, you know, the BBC and all of these major organizations that have basically not dealt with the threat in a realistic way?" O'Reilly's guest, Steven Emerson, expanded on that: "In certain respects, BBC almost operates as a foreign registered agent of Hezbollah and some of the other jihadist groups."
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough similarly lamented the lack of seriousness about terrorism:
Scarborough added: "We're not a serious people. Some concern themselves more with terrorists' rights than civilization's future. Reporters work overtime demeaning the very troops who protect our land. And rock stars replace grim Cassandras, like Bush and Churchill, as the prophets of pop cultures. The results are almost always disastrous."
This lecture comes from a cable news host who has devoted much of his program in recent weeks to the search for Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teenager missing in Aruba.

User Training & Written Security Policies More Important Than Ever in a World of Social Media & BYOD
Employees today are desiring access to company resources from all their computing devices rather than being limited to accessing company resources from only those devices owned and managed by the company. Social media and social media applications are also entrenching themselves in the everyday lives of consumers, and to reach many demographics today marketing plans are increasingly focused around social media. To many companies who have seen their revenues and profits drop during the global economic downturn, having employees use their own computing devices ("Bring Your Own Device" or "BYOD") might now be seen as essential strategy when a few years ago it was unimaginable. If you as a security professional are wondering what steps you need to take in order to protect your organization during this wave of social media use and BYOD, you are not alone.
First, let's examine the individual currents of this wave. The BYOD employee is the administrator of their own machine, installing programs as they like and often in charge of patch management of the operating system, anti-virus program, and other third-party programs such as Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Microsoft Office, and the Java Run-time Environment. These programs have been targets for intruders for years, but these third-party programs are widely installed on various computing platforms and are becoming primary targets of hackers in today's security climate.
Rather than having a standardized list of allowed applications on employee devices known to company security managers, with BYOD the list of allowed applications on computing devices is often non-standardized. Further complicating the issue, company IT staff might not even know which device(s) employees use, and might not now be allowed to connect remotely to employee devices for patch management, virus scans, and other security concerns. It is also much more likely that the BYOD employee will be sharing their devices with others that are even less skillfully trained on computer security than your employees are, such as their children or other family members.
Social media relies extensively on blind links, user comments, third-party websites, and browser add-ons which have the potential for a slew of security issues. Further, social media encourages users to share what was formerly very private information about themselves. Thus it has never been so easy to find out heaps of information about company employees that might be used in security challenge questions because many are willingly posting this information on social media.
Just when the average user is becoming familiar with the dangers of viruses, worms, and spyware lurking in spam emails promising enhanced anatomy and revealing photos of celebrities, a new breed of criminal has been created who doesn't mind spending several hours, days, or weeks surfing the pages of your company executives' LinkedIn and Facebook pages during reconnaissance, or even hijack accounts for focused attacks akin to social engineering. This more determined criminal knows that users and company security personnel are more educated these days and much more likely to be updating operating systems with security patches as well as having up-to-date anti-virus and anti-malware protection. Because of that, this determined criminal knows attacks against the operating system directly are not going to be as successful as attacking Flash, Reader, Word, Excel, or Java vulnerabilities because these programs are often not patched as regularly as the operating system and anti-virus are. This more determined criminal also knows that some degree of human error is inevitable no matter how well trained the user, yet the users with the highest levels of access to company resources (such as owners and senior managers) might be among the most inexperienced users of computing devices in your company and thus the most likely to choose simple passwords, reuse passwords them across numerous accounts on numerous websites, and generally make more errors while responding to security threats.
Simultaneously, criminals and other nefarious persons operating online have powerful tools available at their disposal to use in penetrating your company network and extracting valuable information. What are the attack vectors they will take? First of all, either the attackers will be focused on your organization specifically, or they will have stumbled across your organization in a wide scan for the "low hanging fruit" of easy targets. If they are focused on your company specifically, they will likely have a wealth of information available online about your company's technical infrastructure and personnel to start with including "secret" information used in security challenge questions and weak passwords such as company executives' mother's maiden name, first job, kids' names, pets' names, birthdays, and hobbies.
Recent high-profile attacks against security companies such as RSA, defense contractors such as Lockhead Martin, and websites such as Google during the "Aurora" attacks have all spawned initially from unpatched vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader and Flash. Also recently, online and offline research coupled with brute force password and security challenge question guessing by an individual with limited technical skill led to the compromise of cell phone accounts of celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Vanessa Hudgens, and Jessica Alba. If someone with limited technical skill could compromise the cell phones of numerous Hollywood starlets, what could an attacker with lots of technical skill do to the senior executives of your company? And not just them, but those close to them, too?
Accounts on social media websites (as well as instant messaging and email accounts) can also be compromised and used to attack unsuspecting users who believe they are communicating with friends, family, and other known acquaintances rather than criminals who have hijacked an account. By taking over accounts of those individuals known to the target, the attackers can achieve a much higher level of implicit trust by the target and thus can achieve much more disastrous results. If your "boss" emails you and asks for the login to your company DNS registration, would you send it back without seeking any offline confirmation? What if your "mother" asks you to read a PDF file? Attacks using hijacked accounts have been some of the most successful I have seen recently, and I expect that to continue and be adapted for many different purposes such as social engineering attacks including tricking an unsuspecting user into opening some type of compromised file.
What Can Be Done?
"Defense in depth" means layers of security defenses protecting valuable assets and is a well-respected methodology for protecting your network. Attackers are going to try and parlay any breach of defenses into a wider breach of defenses until they have complete control of your network and its valuable information. Assuming certain corporate defenses can't be totally breached simply by knowing one of your company executive's mother's maiden names or first jobs (these are common security challenge questions for your company's corporate website registration or hosting), attackers will have to probe to find the easiest route to penetrating your network and often the easiest route into a corporate network in today's security climate will be through popular third-party applications such as Adobe Reader and Flash. Due to the amount of personal information available online about company employees, it is easier than ever to craft emails written to specific individuals (aka "spearfishing") that can trick them into visiting compromised websites or opening infected third party application files that can breach lines of security defenses. If you're the "low hanging fruit" in the crosshairs of an attacker, it might be because they already tricked a user to open an infected Flash or Reader file that successfully penetrated at least one line of defense, or because the attackers have already brute forced at least one of your user accounts.
Training for End Users
Without a doubt, one of the biggest factors in network defense is the security knowledge of network users. Attackers will find your least-skilled user(s) with access to critical information (often company owners and senior managers) and exploit them. With more administrative tasks being shifted to the end users and more information available online that can be used as ammunition against your network defenses, user training is more important than ever. End users likely are being tasked with doing more with less resources, so their time is also more valuable than ever, and a security training program that fits their demanding schedules while being well-received by the employees and business management is ever more of a challenge.
Instead of trying to set up large, lengthy security training seminars, focus on extending the employee communications already used within your company to provide short, easy to understand security tips. Five to fifteen minutes should be enough time to convey several important security tips without overwhelming non-technical users, and in this current economic climate, it will be seen as a cost advantage to add an extra few minutes to existing employee meetings for security training rather than schedule new meetings specifically for security training. Regular training across diverse media is also important for end user retention, so try to include security tips frequently in company emails; record audio and video training about security topics and post in a company wiki; manage an internal blog of important security tips and information; have employees role play scenarios with IT staff so that they are familiar with the situations where they make crucial decisions regarding security; and/or require employees answer short questionnaires on security awareness.
Focus on the education of your users, rather than blaming them for past or potential security lapses, and your security training will be much better received. Security awareness training will also be much more effective if you only have a few points to emphasize at a time rather than trying to educate the user on 20 or more security topics in a 15 minute time span. Give the user more frequent, easier-to-digest bits of information without being monotonous, and you will experience much less user pushback the next time a security awareness meeting comes around. Also, try to highlight any attacks that were successfully thwarted during your next security awareness meeting so that your end users receive positive feedback for a job well done. Praise publicly while keeping any criticism limited to private meetings.
Training for Network Administrators and IT Staff
The continued need for training of IT staff, even in a difficult economy, is critically important to corporate safety. I encourage both vendor-neutral and vendor-specific training and certification for your IT staff. At a minimum, your staff should be familiar with the SANS Institute list of the Top 20 Critical Security Controls (Version 3.1, http://www.SANS.org/critical-security-controls/).
1. Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Devices
2. Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Software
3. Secure Configurations of Hardware and Software on Laptops, Workstations, and Servers
4. Continuous Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation
5. Malware Defenses
6. Application Security Software
7. Wireless Device Control
8. Data Recovery Capability
9. Security Skills Assessment and Appropriate Training to Fill Gaps
10. Secure Configurations for Network Devices such as Firewalls, Routers, and Switches
11. Limitation and Control of Network Ports, Protocols, and Services
12. Controlled Use of Administrative Privileges
13. Boundary Defense
14. Maintenance, Monitoring, and Analysis of Security Audit Logs
15. Controlled Access Based on the Need to Know
16. Account Monitoring and Control
17. Data Loss Prevention
18. Incident Response Capability
19. Secure Network Engineering
20. Penetration Tests and Red Team Exercises
Take note that inventories of hardware and software are at the top of the SANS list of critical security controls, while properly configuring equipment is only ranked #3. In an organization of any size at all, managing an inventory list of hardware and software can be a challenge, especially if your staff are using their own computing devices. If your organization goes BYOD, managing the list of acceptable devices and software may be seen as too much administrative overhead for your company. If your company makes this policy decision, it is imperative to counter this with additional security controls elsewhere. It is especially important to have secure configurations of your laptops, phones, and workstations as well as the best available anti-virus and anti-malware protection if your organization is not keeping a comprehensive list of approved devices and software. Using remote management apps that are cross-platform such as TeamViewer (TeamViewer.com), your IT staff can help your end users keep their devices secure, even if your end user is responsible for most or all of the patch management and anti-virus scans on their own devices.
Honestly, most organizations struggle to keep up-to-date lists of approved devices and software even when their employees are only using company-owned phones and computers, so this a broad area that most companies can improve on considerably. The amount of devices needing to be inventoried may double or triple when your users start using their own devices for work, but the additional security provided by the effort is worthwhile. If you suspect a security compromise, having an accurate list of allowed devices and software can dramatically increase your effective response time.
Written Security Policies
Security awareness training relies heavily on written security policies to underpin the foundations of security knowledge you are seeking to establish in your end users. They add another layer to your security defenses by giving your users something concrete to refer to if they are ever in doubt of your company's security policies. Additionally, written security policy serves to coordinate management agreement on aspects of how to secure the organization.
At a minimum, I recommend having all users read and agree to in writing an Acceptable Use Policy, a Password Policy, and a Non-Disclosure Agreement at their time of hiring. These policies should be reviewed frequently with end users, and your company may wish to have your users renew these contracts annually. Not all your company's security policies need to be written in contract form, with consequences stated for non-compliance, but they should all be written in easy-to-understand language, dated, and released with version numbers. The more professionally written your company security policies are, and the more committed to the security policies your senior managers are, the more likely your employees are to follow them. Consider having posters created of your information security policies to post in common areas such as the employee break room much like OSHA workplace safety posters are in the United States.
An Acceptable Usage Policy traditionally lists items such as applications to be used or not used by the end user, how the user is to connect to company resources locally and remotely, and acceptable use of things like social media and instant messaging. In this era of BYOD, the Acceptable Usage Policy should be expanded to prescribe patch management policies for all installed programs, not just the operating system and security software, as well as anti-virus / anti-malware scanning and removal policies for those users that administer their own computers. Password Policies for those users that administer their own devices will be harder to enforce than on company-owned and managed devices, but still should be used.
As the tech landscape continues to change, the way your company handles technology will have to change with it. Security administrators don't usually like change, because with change comes unknown security risks that could be exploited and reflect poorly on us, however two things security administrators have resisted strongly for years are now here to stay for many: social media use in the workplace and employees using their own computing devices (BYOD) for mission critical tasks on a day-to-day basis. Additionally, third-party programs are increasingly becoming the attack vector criminals are using in very targeted attacks to breach security defenses. However, time-tested techniques such as training for end users and administrators; aggressive patch management; comprehensive device / software inventories; and written security policies can keep the criminals attacking your enterprise at bay.

LuxairGroup results for financial year 2012: A negative year
Following on from the problems in the regional air transport sector, LuxairGroup has published negative results for financial year 2012.
The aviation sector remains very sensitive to the vagaries of the economy, with increased exposure with regard to traditional regional air transport in Europe. Luxair Luxembourg Airlines' operating result thus logically experienced a further downturn in 2012, while the tour operator LuxairTours only just managed to struggle through in a highly competitive environment. As for the freight handling business, the interaction between the state of the economy and goods transport unsurprisingly resulted in a decline in volumes handled by LuxairCARGO. 2012 was therefore a difficult year for LuxairGroup and resulted in a loss of 10.5 million EUR.

Dear all
I am requesting your input on a hot topic within the Valor Process Engineering team this week. Namely how to calculate the aspect ratio and area ratio for stencil apertures. Now from my research so far, the most common measure of whether the aperture will release correctly has typically been the aspect ratio, however this seems to be calculated easily in simple cases of rectangles and circles. The threshold of a good aspect ratio being above 1.5. In the general case of a closed polygon, finding the "width" is extremely difficult. Therefore the area ratio, which is a function of the area of the aperture (roof) divided by the area of sides (walls) was introduced which can be calculated for any closed polygon. For area ratio a value of 0.66 or greater is required for correct release.
So I urge anyone to provide input on this topic for both aspect ratio and area ratio by posting their comments. Given what I have found on-line so far it will be interesting to see what is the most popular method for these types of calculation.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Appreciate your help.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
A 27-year-old friend has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. What is the prognosis for the type of cancer he is fighting and how can members of the community help?
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Fortunately, the treatment for acute myeloid leukemia has resulted in improving results over the last several decades. The goal of initial therapy is to get patients into remission (no obvious evidence of leukemia left in the bone marrow and normal blood counts). Once a patient is in remission, they still have to go through additional "post remission" therapy, which is done to increase the chances that the leukemia does not come back. Each case is different however, and based on the patient's specific characteristics, decisions will be made about what the best therapies are for him.
The best thing you can probably do for him at this point is to be supportive and encouraging.

The Best-Loved Irish Poem of the Last 100 Years
What is your most-loved Irish poem of the last century? RTÉ A Poem for Ireland is a major new RTÉ campaign which aims to get the public talking about the poems they feel are the most-loved Irish poems of the past 100 years.
In this era of centenaries, RTÉ looks back at the Irish poems and poets of the past 100 years and asks the public to help us identify the Irish poems of the past century that we love the most. Whether it's a poem you studied at school and loved; one that stood out for you at a wedding or funeral, a poem you came across at an important moment in your life, or one your father or mother used to recite; whether it's a love poem, a political poem, a poem about nature, life, loss, emigration, and whether it's in Irish or in English, it doesn't matter. As long as it's an Irish poem, published in the last century, and you love it, then tell us, and tell us why you love it.
The campaign will be spearheaded by The Works, RTÉ One's flagship arts show, and RTÉ Radio 1's The John Murray Show in partnership with Poetry Ireland and An Post.
