First the best: today I met Heather Bailey! Wow. I attended part of the Touchpoint Conference for women. Part of me felt so out of place among well-heeled business women and the other part of me felt motivated just being with them. Heather's presentation was so inspirational. I promise a near-future post on that subject. I also briefly met in person other bloggers I've enjoyed for sometime: Pamela, Marie, Sarah Jane, and Allison (who was Guest-Mom-ing at Design Mom this week.) I am always amazed at how fun it is to meet other bloggers in real life and how genuine and great they are. Especially when I feel like such a stalker/wannabe. :)
(And because I was rushing in and out, I didn't get any pictures. Plus I still feel a little tacky whipping out a camera sometimes. So I have no proof. Hopefully you don't think I'm just making all this up.)
From there I frantically rushed to get my 5-year-old to Kindergarten and then swing by the garden quilt show that my mom's quilt group was hosting in the same area. [Teaser photo above and more to come.] And following that I was off to close on our house! Life was crazy but I was feeling good.
Then my husband called. The lady in charge of processing our loan with the lender (the one who just went out of town recently and didn't pass our file on to anyone else while she was gone!) had neglected a disclosure document that needed to be signed (and could have been done weeks ago) with mandatory 4 DAY waiting period attached before we can close. So we can't sign papers until next Wednesday. Which means rescheduling everything AGAIN. [I felt like such a heel calling the carpet installers. Again. Now we either postpone 2 weeks or move into only half the house.] I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. Goal line yanked AGAIN. (Sorry, I feel like such a drama queen.)
Well, my wise husband decided it was a night for getting take out from Costa Vida (a rare treat) and heading up to a park on the river in Provo Canyon. I was feeling so discouraged and frustrated but as I sat there watching my happy kids playing I started thinking about a recent post by Nie going up that same canyon and suddenly all my pathetic little woes were put in perspective.
And now I'm going to go do something I haven't done in too long: Sew.
Best therapy I have.

Explore our library of thought-provoking insights—written by thought leaders at PwC and in academia, and organised around breaking themes—on one of today's most critical strategic issues.
The surprising truth about the C-Suite star of 2025
The business environment in 2025 is not going to get less risky or less complex. That's why tomorrow's Chief Compliance Officer will play an increasingly critical role in helping the CEO and board set strategy — and take the right risks.
The promise, peril and real payback of Big Data
Mishandling your consumers' personal data can damage both your reputation and your bottom line. No wonder companies are uncertain about where the Big Data opportunities and risks lie. The key is to see the issue through a strategic lens.
The R!SE Initiative: Disaster Risk-Sensitive Investments
Instead of shared risks, public and private sector investment should be focused on shared value. That's why PwC and the UNISDR started the R!SE Initiative, dedicated to building resilient communities through risk-sensitive investment.
How do global leaders bolster risk resilience? Ten best practices.
What can you learn from how other organisations are strengthening their risk resilience? Here are 10 best practices culled from the public, private and NGO sectors, brought to you by PwC and the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Recognising and understanding disruptions while having an alternative plan in place to quick react to continue to deliver on customer promises means having a resilience supply chain management plan in place.

quote:Drew Brees should be ahead of them for MVP by far.
quote:I also like how you selectively left out most of the stats where Brees is trailing. Brees has an advantage in volume, but not in inefficiency so far. He is still fricking awesome, but not the MVP. His numbers are still very good, but not the best.
quote: You just educated yourself. Your numbers clearly indicate that his numbers are the worst of these 4.

The College News Vol. XVII, No. 17 WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1931 Price: 10 Cents Paul Hazard, Mary Flexner Lecturer This Year, Gives His Impressions of Bryn Mawr t _^_^_^______ News Reprints Article Taken From Revue des Deux Mondes in Which Well-Known Critic Describes College Traditions and Activities. ARTICLE, IN FRENCH, WILL RUN FOR TWO ISSUES Aujourd'hui, tout est a l'aigreur; quel pays en aime vraiment un autre? En rentrant a Paris, je m'apercois que pour etre a la mode, il faut dire du mal de l'Amerique; pour etre a la mode, il fallait l'exalter sans mesure, il y a trois ou quatre ans. Le vent a tourne; si cela continue, il n'y aura plus de fripier de village, egorgeant son cochon dans sa cour, qui ne parle avec mepris des abat- toirs de Chicago. Pour ma part, je raconterai ce que j'ai vu, dans mon petit coin. Vous arrivez a Philadelphie; vous prenez un train local, et vous descendez a Bryn Mawr, qui, des temps anciens de la colonie, a garde son nom gallois. Bryn Mawr a ses garages, son cenema, son golf miniature et son bazar a cinq sous. Mais ce qui fait sa gloir^ c'est son college de jeunes filles. Ef tout de suite, evoquez un ensemble tres different de ce que It mot represents d'ordihaire a notre esprit. Point de cloture ni de grilles; point de porte verrouillee, ne s'ouvrant que pour la promenade du dimanche, triste a voir. Point de ces vieux batiments onastiques, ou de ces ^batiments a bon marche qui, tout neufs, sont decrepits. Imaginez, bien plutot, un immense espace vallonne, des gazoris, des pelouses, des massifs, des bouquets d'arbres; et dis- perses dans la verdure, des pavilions recouverts de leur robe de lierre, et dont le seul aspect est seigneurial. Imaginez, en pleine nature, toute une cite dediee aux etudes et au bonheur. Dediee au bonheur, j'en suis sur, meme Interesting Lectures Promised for April Maurice Hindus Will Discuss Russia; Liberal Club Has � Norman Thomas. ANGNA ENTERS COMING On Tuesday, April 7, Maurice Hin- dus, the brilliant young Russian and author of "Humanity Uprooted," "Earth" and ARed Bread," will lecture on Russia and the World. Mr. Hin- dus was born in a Russian village and came to America at the age of fourteen. He has visited Russia annually since 1923, wandering about the cities and villages of Siberia and the Caucasus, the Volga region, the Ukraine, the Crimea and the Far North. Of Rus- sia Mr. Hindus says: "For good or for evil, Russia has plucked up the old world by its very roots and the party in power is glad to see those roots wilt and turn into dust. Hardly an institu- tion�property, religion, morality, fam- ily, love�has escaped the blasts of the Revolution." Mr. Hindus is presented by the Pennsylvania League of Wom- en Voters, arid the proceeds of the lecture will be used to further the pro- CoDtlnned on Paice Three avant d'avoir pris contact avec celles qui seront, demain, mes etudiantes. Sur les murs du cloitre gothique qui regne der- riere la bibliotheque, je lis des inscrip- tions. Reconnaissante, cette ancienne eleve a fonde un chaire; cette autre a donne des bourses d'etudes pour aider ses camarades de l'avenir; cette autre encore a voulu qu'elles eussent des jardins plus vastes, des edifices plus beaux. Toutes ces pierres se sont elevees, tous ces en- seignements ,se sont etablis, toute cette vie s'entretient grace a l'initiative privee. Une sorte de piete se mele au souvenir des annees que les etudiantes ont ici vecues; il n'en est aucune qui ne cherche a rendre au college, en generosite, ce qu'elle a recu en bonheur. Des differences psychologiques qui nous separent des Americains, celle-ci est assurement l'une des plus marquees. Nous avons beau alleger nos programmes, nos jeunes filles, nos jeunes gens rostent surcharges; ils n'ont pas le temps de vivre, tant ils sont occupes a se preparer a la vie. Je connais une gamine de dix ans qui est alourdie de devoirs a faire quand elle rentre de la classe, et qui veille en peinant sur ses, cahiers. Et qu'est-ce que sa vie d'ecoliere, sinon la fatigante succession des heures de cours? Comment, lorsqu'elle aura fini ses etudes, emporterait-elle un souvenir heureux? La-bas, on ecoute mieux cet appel au bonheur, qui est comme la vocation spontanee de l'enfance et de la jeunesse. Libres, inatalles dans leur republique, que les aines ont le devoir d'entretenir, mais qu'ils n'ont pas le droit d'opprimer, les adolescents vivent par eux-memes et pour eux-memes. Une education serait nian- quee, qui ne laisserait' pas apres elle l'image eclatante d'une ile fortunee dont le rayonnement se prolonge sur toute l'existence. Les notres sont plus savants, ceux-la sont plus heureux. LA RUCHE 5 octobre 1930.�Cela ne veut pas dire �qu'on neglige le travail, ici. Certes, les jeunes filles de Bryn Mawr sont libres de leurs mouvements; elles vont et viennent a leur guise; il faut seulement, qu'elles soient rentrees a dix heures et demie; marge genereuse, dans un pays ou Ton dine deux heures plus tot que chez nous. Elles habitent cha- cune leur chambre; elles la meublent, elles la parent a leur fantaisie: et ce n'est pas une petite affaire. Elles pratiquent le sport, elles se divertissent. Bien plus, Continued on Page Failr Elections The News . announces. its new boards for 1931-32: Editor-in-Chief, Rose Hatfield, '32; Business Manager, Molly Atmore, '32; Copy Editor, Susan Noble, '32; Subscription Mana- ger, Yvonne Cameron, '32.

If the ex- periment is a success during the rest of this year, the arrange- ments will be made permanent. (Signed) Secretary of the College Council. College Council Revises Curriculum Committee Old Body, Because Unyielding, Is Discarded for One More Representative. HALLS ELECT MEMBERS (Contributed by Curricultrtn Committee) At a recent ^fciHg of the College Council Miss ParkTfhd Mrs. Manning suggested that the Curriculum Com- mittee be revised. As it now stands, it is inadequate in.many respects. Be- cause of its large size it is impossible to get unity of opinion and action, and it is too. unwieldy to make discussions with the Faculty Curriculum Commit- tee easy or useful. Besides, as Miss Park pointed out, it would be very helpful if there were a small commit- tee to which she could turn for actual information on student opinion. From the point of view of the students, it is weak in that it does not actually rep- resent the widest cross section of un- dergraduate opinion. This is because when the committee was first formed it was suggested that the members be chosen for "the value of their opinions upon academic matters.rather than as a representative group." It has become generally recognized throughout the college, however, that the committee� though it if desirable that it should be Continued on Tare Six Dance Club Recital Delights Audience Naivete and Spontaneity Mark Performances�Unity of Rhythm Obtained. ATMOSPHERE INFORMAL The annual recital* of the Dance Club and the ^Dancing Classes was held, in the gymnasium on March 17. Although it would seem that natural dancing exists primarily for the per- former himself, it also appears that it may give pleasure in an entirely objec- tive fashion, as the large audience of Tuesday evening may testify. The in- formality of the atmosphere was well in accordance with, the nature, of the recitaj. and the simple though effective lighting and the background of grey for the kaleidoscopic dancers was espe- cially appropriate to their technique, if one may speak paradoxically, for* this technique seems to consist in the very lack of it as it is Commonly understood in dancing. There was no pointing of toes, or drooping of hands,or other grace-imparting formulae: these belong to a later and more artificial stage in the evolution of the dance. Hence the simplicity, almost naivete. j>i. the dances themselves as well as of ttof in- terpretation, as, for example, in the Crfflinfi of th- R^giiining C\aa nr ill Continued on Pace Three Self-Gov. President Alice L. Hardenbergh -has been elected President of the Self-Government Board for 1931- 32. The results of the other elec- tions are not yet complete, but will-be announced later.----------- Graduate Fellowships for Study Next Year in Europe Are Announced by Miss Park New Faculty Appointments, Seniors in Line for Degrees With Honor, and Recommendations for Junior Year in France Are Also Revealed. REPRESENT B. M.'S EFFORTS TO KNOW EUROPE MORE Left to Right�Edna Caroline Prederick, Ruth M. Collins and Marie Helene Schneiders. "From Bryn Mawr's Victorian days! holds the Fellowship in Latin at Bryn up to 1931 the college has made steady and deliberate efforts to induce its stu- dents to know Europe at close char- ters," declared President Park in open- ing her address in chapel, Friday, March 20, in which she announced the Graduate European Fellowships and Faculty changes for next year. To this end many of its faculty have either been Europeans themselves or have completed their training abroad. Again, since 1892, there have always, been European scholars studying at Bryn Mawr on fellowships provided for that' purpose by the cpllege. But the most definite step the college has taken toward its objective is the official sending of its own students abroad for study. Four graduate students and onfc-'senior are chosen each March by the faculty to live outside America, to work in Europe's libraries and mu- seums and to become acquainted with modern civilization other than our own. From now on. the Senior European- Fellow will not be, announced until commencement in order to give the faculty more time to form an estimate of the student's ability. This change brings with it the abolition of two age- old undergraduate traditions* that of attempting to intercept the _fafulty inail, and that, of the President'* at- tempting to prolong her announcement to the length of a Senatorial filibuster. The Helene and Cecil Rubel Foun- dation Fellowship to the value of $1500 is to be given for the last time this year. The generous terms of itl award, it is to be used anywhere in any intel- lectual pursuit, have made ij one of the most interesting fellowships open to women in America. It is awarded this year to Ruth Mulford Collins, of Pied- mont. Calif.. M.A.. Bryn Mawr. 1930. Fellow and Instructor in English. She will work in England on the poetry of Charles Doughty, the author of Ai Deserta, on manuscripts placed at her disposal by his wife. The Fanny Bullock Wurkifian Fel lotvship. also to "*he value of $1500, was founded rive years ago by a be- quest of lit*. Workman, herself an eminent scholar, to be used "by a stu- dent of proved ability who i- working for a Ph.D.. and who could not have the advantages of such a year without assistance. After long agonies of in- decision, it has been awarded to Char- lotte E. Goodfellow. of Coatesville. Fa., and-to Anne Leigh NichoUott el Mores- town, '!�. J. Miss Goodfellow now Mawr. and her principal subject is Roman History,, her thesis subject. "The Spread of Roman Citizenship in Empires." She plans to study in' Munich, Rome and Greece. Miss N'icholson received her A.B. at Bryn Mawr, 1930. and is getting her M.A. this year. She plans to work at the, University of Copenhagen in Phys-. ical Chemistry. .-� The Mary E. G.arrett European Fel- lowship to the value of $1000, awarded .annually to a student still in residence who has completed at least three semesters of graduate studies at Bryn Mawr, is to be applied towards the ex- penses of one year's study and resi- dence at some foreign university. The Fellowship has been awarded consist- ently since 1894, and is being given this year in French. It goes to Edna Caro- line Frederick, of South Hadley Falls, Mass., M.A.. Bryn Mawr. 1930. and Paul Hazard Scholar in French. 1931. Miss Frederick has chosen as a thesis- subject the development of the plot in comedy between Moliere and Beau- marchais. in which she is promised the friendly guidance of Monsieur Hazard. The Anna M.

A new license agreement between Auburn University, through the Auburn Research and Technology Foundation (ARTF), and iK9 Holdings Co. LLC, to commercialize the VAPOR WAKE® technology, will allow researchers in the College of Veterinary Medicine to more closely focus on developing other ground-breaking animal performance research and technology.
Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine's Animal Health and Performance Program (AHPP), which developed the internationally-known patent-pending and trademarked VAPOR WAKE technology, has rich traditions in research and in understanding animal performance.
"The Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine has invested years of research in developing this program into a strong and versatile detection tool in the fight against terrorism," said Calvin Johnson, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. "VAPOR WAKE dogs are capable of saving lives. Auburn believes the best way to get dogs into both domestic and military markets is with a private sector company with dog training experience and marketing capabilities. iK9 has these capabilities and is on track to becoming an industry leader within the detector dog community."
The college's AHPP faculty will continue groundbreaking research efforts in olfaction and detection, as well as in veterinary sports medicine and canine breeding. AHPP is a leader in understanding the physical, physiological, and psychological needs of athletic and working animals and the benefits that exercise can have on their general health.
"We focus on scientifically improving canine detection methods through enhanced training technologies, systematically improving genetics, and close collaboration between trainers and scientists," says Jim Floyd, interim director of AHPP.
AHPP's team of scientists and trainers – led by Drs. Craig Angle and Paul Waggoner – are conducting a number of research projects to expand the scope of their investigations.
"We continually try to push the envelope with dogs to utilize their unique capabilities in a useful, efficient and economical way," Dr. Waggoner said. "We are constantly trying to research novel applications of our canine partners so that they can provide capabilities and services that don't yet exist. These services can provide a large benefit to multiple industries."
Dr. Angle agreed. "We have already shown that our dogs can find static and dynamic targets, large scale and microscopic targets, and that their efficiency in doing so is far greater than teams of humans and our most sophisticated machines.
"Dogs can smell in parts per trillion and range for miles on end – there is not a technology on earth that can even come close to that capability," Dr. Angle added. "That capability can find deadly bacteria and viruses in hospitals, invasive fungi in the wine industry and minute pollutants in the environment. The best thing about the dogs is they give us instant verification of a substance without the need for lengthy laboratory testing. Our next hurdle is capturing corporate, private and government interest in funding research to further develop specific applications of our canine partners."

Council votes tonight on 15-month extension for waterfront project
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
DOVER — The City Council will vote tonight to support amending the Land Disposition Agreement on the waterfront to extend the developer's rights to the project.
In addition to this $25,000, Crago said Dickinson will also turn over the $100,000 escrow to Dover. If Dickinson lands investors within the next 15 months, he will get the escrow back. If he does not, that $100,000 remains with the city.
Crago writes that $180,000 of Dickinson's money has gone to the City of Dover, $560,000 has gone to four architectural and engineering firms and $269,000 has gone to his legal counsel.
The City Council will meet tonight at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers in City Hall.

Jones: Students' Achieving at a High Level is Good for Families, Communities
What can higher education do to have a positive effect on the collegiate success of today's middle school and high school students? What difference does it make for our region? Dr. Dan Jones, president of Texas A&M University-Commerce, helps answer these questions and more on The President's Perpsective.
The theme of the program is collegiate success, and the first segment deals with partnerships and programs that are in the works toward a goal of helping young people to understand better the secondary and tertiary positive effects of their own potential higher education.
Continuing with this episode's theme, we welcome a guest for the second segment. Randy Van Deven is the Vice President for Institutional Advancement, and he joins the discussion to present a view from the angle of alumni and others who have achieved that collegiate success, and the many ways in which college graduates stay involved with the University. Many go on to offer scholarships and other financial means to help make college more attainable for young people in this region.
Programs like The President's Perspective are made possible my contributions from listeners and readers just like you. The program is a monthly half-hour chat with the president and CEO of Texas A&M University-Commerce, Dr. Dan Jones, hosted by Jerrod Knight.

BioQuest has created yet another massively anabolic stack engineered to help you attain optimum benefit from every workout. Combining the potent mass builder MyoZene with the new next-generation thermodynamic muscle pump catalyst Alpha Fury, this stack is designed to ensure a massive muscle pump before and during your workout and maximum recovery and growth afterward. 1 Container of Alpha Fury (20 serv.)
BioQuest's AlphaFury™ is clearly one of the most exciting new technologies to appear in the Pre-Workout category in several years. AlphaFury's primary active ingredient is the advanced new muscle enhancement catalyst GlycoCarn (glycine propionyl-L-carnitine, or GPLC). This patented, biochemically modified pharmaceutical compound has been extensively researched for performance-enhancing benefits and has been linked in scientific studies to the promotion of a number of critical exercise benefits as a result of the massively increased vasodilation it causes. Specifically, these benefits include improved muscle pumps and performance, enhanced recovery support, and added energy for workouts. GlycoCarn also has strong antioxidant benefits, and is active in the body for extended periods for improved athletic performance. AlphaFury also addresses athletic performance and endurance with beta alanine for enhanced stamina, waxy maize carbs for insulin boost and fuel for your workout, and a natural stimulant/alertness agent for intensity and focus. AlphaFury is the future of pre-workout maximization!
1 Container of MyoZene (4.22 lb)
MyoZene™ is well established itself as the gold standard of muscle-building products available today, based on the quality of its source, a specialized protein so ultra hydrolyzed, it is anabolically active within minutes of consumption. Researchers theorize that this lightning-swift process allows critical amino acids to be transported to muscle tissue swiftly enough to impact muscle gene expression and ignite muscle synthesis.
This theory was recently validated in momentous fashion in a noteworthy peer reviewed study conducted by medical and physiology researchers in Miami, Florida and presented at a high-profile conference of the prestigious American College of Sports Medicine. In the study, normal well-experienced weight lifters underwent upper- and lower-body strength testing and body composition analysis, followed by a six-day-per-week split-body-part exercise routine. Test measurements included muscular strength/endurance and key markers of special interest to athletics coaches. Within the test's time frame (one month), the MyoZene-receiving subjects experienced gains of 24% in strength/muscular endurance at the mid-study point and 32% at the end of the study. The strength increases demonstrated with MyoZene are a highly compelling indicator of its extraordinary potency, as they extend well beyond what has been observed with any other supplement of its kind (including high-dose creatine-based supplements).
Together these two cutting-edge performance nutrition supplements give you a profound edge both on the gym floor and in the all-important post-workout recovery phase. Add this powerful stack to your regimen and turn better workouts and increased anabolic potential into amazing physique results!

Your Pop Alternative Source
Lights, Under The Sheets, Animal, Human, Your Biggest Mistake, The Writer, Wish I Stayed. And the rest.
They're all amazing :)
Mine was The Writer until I heard I'll Hold My Breath, I was BLOWN away. That song is amazing. It's like got an 80's Dream Academy type feel, mixed with some original All American Rejects happy songs.
Off Lights - "Under The Sheets"
Off Halcyon - "My Blood" (also my prediction for a single/video off Halcyon)
Honorable Mentions - "Hanging On," "Guns and Horses" & that STELLAR cover of The Weeknd's (<3) "High For This." Her take on that track is outstanding.
Favorite Remix - "Anything Could Happen (Remix by Blood Diamonds)"
(Love Blood Diamonds, and the artist I discovered him by: Grimes. Grimes' work is just plain stellar, it's some of the most innovative work from a "newer" artist. I really hope for an Ellie/Grime collab, which is likely, someday soon here.)

I'm trying to watch Still Bill on Netflix and I'm having trouble with the audio. The sound is very quiet and only comes out of one speaker. Anyone else having a problem or is it just me?
My choice for the week is "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan".
Sorry I haven't been active. I just finished up finals week at university and ridiculous overtime hours at work. I'll watch to two shows I missed and comment on them in the next few days alone with my choice. Hope everyone else has been doing well.

It did for me. Not sure what the problem might be. Should I choose something else?

Like Shawn said, this is up to you bud.. If you want to pick another, we can do jarek's next or go ahead and let him pick now and you could just reserve the right to interject a wild card pick any given week and we have to watch two films!!! Could be much worse problems to have if you ask me....
"I'm a sinner and I hope I never change"
Sorry for the late reply everyone... things have been nuts in the wake of the holiday season! I didn't see this until just now... am I too late to choose?
Ok then... I'm at work, so I don't have the ability to check right now, but I do remember seeing a very interesting one on there last week...
So, like it or not folks... I hereby command thee to watching *drumrollllllllllll*
I just got the expanded version in on Blu-Ray, so I think I'm going to give that a spin, and then coerce the Mrs. into watching the standard version again... wish me luck fellas!
PJ20 was great, I thought. I was that perfect age when grunge hit the big time. 10, 11 years old....all stocked up on late 80's hair metal. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hit and...literally...the neighborhood was buzzing. Kids on bikes trucking up to the record store, putting together our money for a single copy of Nevermind or Ten and making copies overtop old tapes our parents had so we could all have a copy. Whoever paid the most money towards the tape got to choose whether they wanted the original professionally dubbed tape or the J-card.
Hard not to like that film.
What's happening guys? I watched PJ20 and it was pretty rough for me, so if we don't talk about it I am going to give "wet willies" to you all the next time I see you.
I'll make a thread for it... I forgot to do so!

XXVII, No. 24 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1941 Copyright, Tru�t�e� of PRICE 10 CENTS Bryn Mawr Colltg�, 1940 rK1V-P lv ^D^'a Lerner Stresses Present Need for Planned Economy America Must Enter War At Once for Chance Of Survival Goodlmrt Auditorium, May 7.� Max Lerner, speaking at an Under- graduate Assembly on America and the war, declared his belief that the United States must immedi- ately enter the war, with a new sense of the power and the duties of democracy. In this revolution- ary world, he said, the defeat of Nazism by a dynamic and demo- cratic force is our only hope for survival. Our need is for a controlled, planned economy. By this Mr. Ler- ner means not fascist planning, but a system which recognizes that laissez-faire is no longer possible as an economic policy; a system which discards the conception that the best government is that which governs least. Leadership Important Leadership is all-important, Mr. Lerner said. It is safe, for in a democratic country it can be changed or transferred through the electoral system. It is neces- sary, for all decisions and appoint- ments cannot be made directly by the people. Mr. Lerner said that an intelligent economic system will make possible an efficient military machine functioning within the democratic framework. England has not yet achieved this efficiency, and, unless she does she cannot sur- vive. If the United States achieves a dynamic democracy the war may be won. Changes Necessary Those who believe that we can continue with "business as usual" are wrong, Mr. Lerner contended. The United States must realize that, although Nazism is not in it- self a revoluntionary force, it has exploited the need for revoluntion- Contlnuea on Page Five Appointments The Undergraduate Asso- ciation announces the follow- ing appointments: Chairman of the New Book Room Committee: Isabel Martin, '42.

Continued on Paga Six Projects on Campus Discussed by Council At a meeting on May 13, the Col- lege Council discussed plans for freshman week, the college as- semblies, the work of the Enter- tainment Committee and the Ath- letic Association, and the activities of the Faculty Curriculum Com- mittee. The possible future proj- ects of campus organizations were informally outlined. The organization of the Forum Group will be the first concern of the Undergraduate Association in the fall. The Bryn Mawr League is taking relief work under its wing, and hopes to coordinate its committees. The Athletic Asso- ciation plans to stress individual other with a smoothness which blended them all into a harmonious' whole. ^ Fifi Garbat, an impertinent, rebellious Puck, was exceptionally lithe and swift, and skilfull in her timing.

Perhaps the full possibilities of the play were least realized in the weavers' scenes, although Don Shoffstall was an awkward and amusing Bottom. Much of the effect of the play was due to the lighting, by which the vast stage was limited or en- larged, changed from a forest to a weaver's house; and by which the characters of the fairies "were em- nhasized: Oberon by red, Titania by white and Puck by green.

American Academy Sciences. of Arts and 72% of Students For Big May Day; Final Votes in Fall Frivolity of Performance Denied, Value Stressed By Speakers Seventy-two per cent of a total of 401 votes decided in favor of having Big May Day next year. Pembroke East polled the greatest majority for Big May Day with a vote of 51 to 9; and out of the six- teen non-resident votes, only one was against it. Rhoads and Mer- ion were less enthusiastic; Rhoads polling 56 to 38, and Merion, 31 to 17. [The rest of the halls showed approximately the same propor- tions. Pembroke West tabulated 43 to 13, Denbigh, 44 to 18, and Rockefeller, 49 to 16.] There will be another final vote taken in the spring. At the mass meeting on Monday evening in Goodhart, the advant- ages and disadvantages of Big May Day were discussed by four stu- dents and two members of the faculty. Vjvi French, '42, assured wor- ried students that there would be no dance rehearsals on the green before breakfast, and went on to say that May Day has never failed to meet expenses. Though the six plays are necessary to accommo- date the crowd, expenses could be cut down. Miss Meigs described the contag- ious atmosphere of the 1936 May Day in which she took part. No one felt their time was wasted, or that there was not enough choice to avoid regimentation. The present unfair distribution of extra curicular work, the respon- sibility of carrying on a tradition, and the fun students would have working on such a project, were thfl points stressed by Ann Adams, '43. Margo Dcthior, '42, on the other hand, said that the Entertain- ment Series, club activities, coop- eration with Haverford, and sp iris would be seriously affected. Prudence Wellman, '42, speaking as a Senior, asked why the Sen- Oontlnuefl on Pace Six *5 Work of Art Club Shows Varied Technique; International Arts Exhibit Also Displayed By Sally Matteson, '43 Two exhibitions sponsored by the Art Club are on display in the Common Room this week. One in- cludes representative work of the Art Club for the past year. Nudes predominate and appear in all techniques. Among these a group of sculptural nudes by Anne Sprague, '44; some watercolors by Francy Fox, '43, showing her mas- terful use of the medium; and two tawny, particularly expressive fig- ures by Helen Eichelberger, '43, were perhaps the most finished of the exhibition. Two studies in brown ink, one by Brooksie Hollis, '42, and another by Gertrude Casear, '44, although obviously ex- perimental, are remarkably deco- rative. There are three pieces of sculp- ture: a head by Didi Mills, '41, which shows a fine selection of de- tail; a self-portrait of Margaret Jameson, '43; and a mannered horse by Virginia King, '41. Along with this local work is dis- played an exhibit, lent by the International Arts Exhibit of Con- necticut, of small wood carvings from all over the world. It is a heterogeneous group, varying from a decorated Javanese cock to the simple-planed laborer from Poland, from intricate floral panels from China to symbolic African masks. Some pieces, a little Peruvian guanaco in particular, have charm, but the bulk of this exhibit is too similar to ordinary gift-shop ware to be of any special interest.

Indiantown Has Air Conditioning and Bars; But Training is With Bayonets, for War By Barbara Cooley and Nancy Ellicott, '42 Indiantown Gap, near Harris- burg, was established as an Army camp about ten years ago; but when we arrived on Friday it still looked a little unfinished. Fifteen thousand men are there now; some from the regular Army and the National Guard, but the majority are selectees in training. The camp is still expanding. Already it cov- ers about four square miles. The barracks are unpainted but air conditioned, insulated, and founded on cement. They are grouped for occupation by separate divisions and companies. The limits are strictly drawn and there is no visiting or communica- tion between units. The hospital unit covers about two city blocks. There are several firehouses, equipped with station wagons painted red. There is a movie theatre,� hostess house, and eight or ten bars. Each company has a mess hall, with K. P. duty for offenders from the artillery or in- fantry. Cavalry criminals must clean the stables. The food, the selectees report, isn't good. This was demonstrated by the fact that it takes only ten minutes to eat dinner. �� A volunteer sergeant said, "We're being trained for war." We saw the dummies set up for bayo- net practice and heard about the hand-grenade drill. There are plans for taking the whole "Army" to Virginia this summer for a full military campaign against other di- visions. It takes 13 weeks to train a company�about 130 men�to drill, but this is complicated by the fact that the official number of men for a company is changed every week. We saw more Army trucks, gun- carriages and cars than men. Some of the cavalry is now motorized, but there are beautiful new kahki- colored trailers for the horses. The artillery shoots their shells into the flanks of Blue Mountain. Red flags -and danger signs warn visitors during firing practice. And underneath the signs is an official notice: "Hunters, fishers and trap- pers forbidden." Our sergeant kept repeating, "this is the life!" It looked healthy, informal, and only a little disorganized.

Umbilical hernia repair is surgery to repair an umbilical hernia . An umbilical hernia is a sac (pouch) formed from the inner lining of your belly (abdominal cavity) that pushes through a hole in the abdominal wall at the belly button.
You will probably receive general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free) for this surgery. If your hernia is small, you may receive spinal or epidural block anesthesia and medicine to relax you. You will be awake but pain-free.
Your surgeon will make a surgical cut under your belly button.
Umbilical hernia can also be repaired using a laparoscope, a thin, lighted tube that lets the doctor see inside your belly. The laparoscope will be inserted through one of the cuts and instruments will be inserted through the other cuts.
If your child is having this surgery, the surgeon will discuss the type of anesthesia your child will receive. The surgeon will also describe how the surgery will be done.
Umbilical hernias are fairly common. A hernia at birth will push the belly button out. It shows more when a baby cries because the pressure from crying makes the hernia bulge out more.
In infants, the problem is not usually treated with surgery. Most of the time, the umbilical hernia shrinks and closes on its own by the time a child is 3 or 4 years old.
Umbilical hernia repair may be needed in children for these reasons:
Umbilical hernias are fairly common in adults. They are seen more in overweight people and in women, especially after pregnancy. They tend to get bigger over time.
Smaller hernias with no symptoms sometimes can be watched. Surgery may pose greater risks for patients with serious medical problems.
Without surgery, there is a risk that some fat or part of the intestine will get stuck (incarcerated) in the hernia and become impossible to push back in. This is usually painful. If the blood supply to this area is cut off (strangulation), urgent surgery is needed. You may experience nausea or vomiting, and the bulging area may turn blue or a darker color.
To avoid this problem, surgeons often recommend repairing the umbilical hernia in adults. Surgery is also used for hernias that are getting larger or are painful. Surgery secures the weakened abdominal wall tissue (fascia) and closes any holes.
Get medical care right away if you have a hernia that does not get smaller when you are lying down or that you cannot push back in.
The risks of surgery for umbilical hernia are usually very low, unless the patient also has other serious medical problems.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
A specific risk of umbilical hernia surgery is injury to the bowel (large intestine). This is rare.
Your surgeon or anesthesia doctor will see you and give you instructions for you or your child.
An anesthesiologist will discuss your (or your child's) medical history to determine the right amount and type of anesthesia to use. You or your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking 6 hours before surgery. Make sure you tell your doctor or nurse about any medications, allergies, or history of bleeding problems.
Several days before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking:
Most umbilical hernia repairs are done on an outpatient basis, which means that you will likely go home on the same day. Some repairs may require a short hospital stay if the hernia is very large.
After surgery, your doctor and nurse will monitor your vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, and breathing). You will stay in the recovery area until you are stable. Your doctor will prescribe pain medicine if you need it.
Your doctor or nurse will show you how to care for your or your child's incision at home. You or your child should be able to do all of your normal activities in 2 - 4 weeks.

The world has a certain reverential (or just morbid) fascination with the death sites of famous musicians. The pantheon of dead music legends is far too great (and depressing) to capture in just one article, but here's a look at just some of the famous/infamous places where great talents have met untimely ends.
A few years ago it was a common joke to suggest that Google would follow the success of Street View…

The transformation of a forlorn school building into a sparkling complex of 14 single-family homes earned Suman Sorg, FAIA, high marks from judges. They admired her careful use of 19th-century proportions and the way the new Phillips Row houses fit seamlessly into a historic Georgetown neighborhood.

The five distinct architectural styles of houses in Phillips Row are grouped in clusters around a city block. Homes with turrets and porches anchor corners of the development.
sorg and associates, p.c., washington, d.c.
The infill development occupies nearly an entire city square and consists of five clusters of houses, each representing a stylized version of one of the neighborhood's predominant architectural periods: Federal, Georgian, Italianate, Venetian, and Richardsonian. "We were able to take these styles--stay very true to them, not bastardize or distort them--and string them along in a garland," Sorg explains. These new homes ring the old Phillips School, which was renovated and divided into condominiums, with a central courtyard for parking and gardens.
Sorg says she is most proud of the way a notoriously prickly neighborhood association embraced her project. "It is a struggle building anything in Georgetown because it faces so much scrutiny, but we used ornamentation and details that helped the buildings fit in and eventually won the skeptics over," she says.
For such a tradition-bound community, judges thought this solution was ideal: "Give it a little weathering and it might be hard to tell it's not old."

DC Council Supports $100 Million Housing Production Trust Fund
November 18, 2014
Today, DC Council voted unanimously to support at least $100 million in appropriations for the Housing Production Trust Fund annually. Bill 20-708, the Housing Production Trust Fund Baseline Funding Amendment Act of 2014, was introduced by Councilmember (now Mayor-elect) Bowser in recognition of this critical tool for producing and preserving affordable housing. Since the legislation is subject to appropriation, it will require further action by the Mayor and Council in the DC budget.
"CNHED applauds the DC Council for their commitment to ensure that every District resident can live in housing that is affordable to them," says Stephen Glaude, Executive Director of CNHED. "This legislation is a major step forward in creating a predictable source of funds for preserving and developing affordable housing."
In introducing the legislation, Mayor-elect Bowser acknowledged the important efforts of CNHED's Housing For All Campaign. CNHED has advocated for significant and stable funding for the Housing Production Trust Fund for over a decade. "It is through the dedicated work of Housing For All Campaign supporters and CNHED members that this legislation has passed," says Campaign Organizer Elizabeth Falcon. "Through Council visits, town hall meetings, and direct advocacy, we have educated legislators about the value of the Trust Fund."
What the Trust Fund has done for DC
- The Trust Fund is crucial to meeting DC's affordable housing goals of ending chronic homelessness, supporting first-time home buyers, and creating and preserving high quality rental housing.
- It has produced and preserved over 8,500 affordable homes across every ward in the District. There are 2,300 more affordable homes in the pipeline with Trust Fund commitments.
- Estimated conservatively, more than 18,000 DC residents currently live in units funded by the Trust Fund.
- For every dollar invested from the Trust Fund, $2.50 was invested from other sources.
- It has created an estimated 10,000 short-term and permanent jobs.
- It has strong guidelines that prescribe levels and lengths of affordability to serve District residents with the greatest housing need.
- When used with DC's Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act, it provides tenants with the opportunity to stay in their homes and preserve affordable housing for themselves and their neighbors.
Learn more about the Trust Fund and how CNHED members have also successfully used the Trust Fund to keep District residents in high quality and affordable homes. See more photos from today's rally.
DC's HPAP Homeowners: Christina White
October 31, 2014
This ongoing series will highlight the individuals and families who have purchased their first home in DC using the Home Purchase Assistance Program, and the great impact it's had on the people, neighborhoods, and communities of the District.
I have been living in the District my entire life: 25 years. This last year, I worked with the Greater Washington Urban League, utilizing the Home Purchase Assistance Program (HPAP) to purchase my first home in Deanwood, Ward 7. HPAP made homeownership more affordable for me. HPAP is a gap-based program. This means that it is intended only to bridge the gap between what a lender will approve and the cost of the home. Therefore, had I needed to acquire the full amount of debt with a traditional lender, there was a risk of not being approved for a loan or potentially having a significantly higher monthly mortgage.
Being a homeowner gives stability, both physically and financially, to be able to move ahead in life. Building equity in my home allows me to pay off the debt and be able to increase my leverage in the world. Although I live alone, owning a home has been a major step for my family as well. My cousins, siblings, parents, extended family, etc., have been not only been encouraged but also motivated to utilize opportunities for their own lives.
HPAP is an important program because it helps to make homeownership affordable. Without it, DC would instantly become a city in which only the upper middle-class would be able to dwell. Though HPAP helps to make homeownership affordable, taking advantage of other homeownership programs in order to help bridge the gap also helps significantly. Saving for your future is also a must as well!
By Christina White, Ward 7
DC Council Supports Housing Production Trust Fund Baseline Funding Act
October 22, 2014
Yesterday, the Council voted unanimously to bring to a vote* Bill 20-708, Housing Production Trust Fund Baseline Funding Amendment Act of 2014. The bill, introduced by Councilmember Bowser, sets the groundwork for a $100 million a year investment in the Trust Fund. CNHED has worked for a year to build support for an annual commitment of $100 million to the Trust Fund, through testimony, ward town hall meetings, and the Housing For All Rally. The legislation is subject to appropriation, so no funds are committed now, but it demonstrates that like us, the DC Council believes the Housing Production Trust Fund needs $100 million a year to create and keep affordable housing in DC.
"The Housing Production Trust Fund is the District's premier tool for producing and preserving affordable housing….The District needs to get serious about consistent funding year to year for affordable housing creation and preservation. I would really like to acknowledge as well the really important efforts of the Housing For All Campaign." – Councilmember Bowser, introducing the legislation
Councilmembers Catania, Bonds, Orange, Evans and Barry also spoke out for the need for consistent affordable housing investment through the Housing Production Trust Fund.
Advocate with us!
*The Council will now hold two votes to pass this legislation. Come out to the votes to continue to show the DC Council that we need a $100 million Housing Production Trust Fund.
First vote: October 28
Expected final vote: November 18
Time: 11:00 am
Location: John A Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Ave NW, , Room 500.

How many hours do you have work to afford market rent with DC's new minimum wage?
August 11, 2014
(hint: a lot)
On July 1, the DC minimum wage increased to $9.50 an hour. This increase will help an estimated 40,000 DC workers who will now bring home more money each week. We wondered, with DC's increased minimum wage, how close does that get workers to affording market rent in DC. So we reached out to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, who track the relationship between wages and housing costs in states across the country.
Here's their updated analysis for DC's new minimum wage:
In the District of Columbia, the Fair Market Rent (FMR) for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,469. In order to afford this level of rent and utilities – without paying more than 30% of income on housing – a household must earn $4,897 monthly or $58,760 annually. Assuming a 40-hour work week, 52 weeks per year, this level of income translates into a Housing Wage of: $28.25
In the District of Columbia, a minimum wage worker earns an hourly wage of $9.50. In order to afford the FMR for a two-bedroom apartment, a minimum wage earner must work 119 hours per week, 52 weeks per year. Or a household must include 3.0 minimum wage earners working 40 hours per week year-round in order to make the two-bedroom FMR affordable.
In the District of Columbia, the estimated mean (average) wage for a renter is $25.52. In order to afford the FMR for a two-bedroom apartment at this wage, a renter must work 44 hours per week, 52 weeks per year. Or, working 40 hours per week year-round, a household must include 1.1 workers earning the mean renter wage in order to make the two-bedroom FMR affordable.
Before the minimum wage increase, NLIHC calculated that a worker would need to work 137 hours per week to afford fair market rent. Increasing the minimum wage is going a long way to improve the lives of DC's low wage workers and close the gap between wages and housing cost. This will continue to improve as the wage increases over the next two years, to $11.50 in 2016. However, even with these increases, the cost of housing in the open market will remain unaffordable for many minimum wage workers, even with multiple adults in the home, and working more than one job.

Budget Update: CNHED advocacy wins increases across the Continuum of Housing
May 29, 2014
Yesterday, the DC Council voted on the DC Budget, reflecting increases by both the Mayor and the Council to provide affordable housing to DC residents.
TOTAL Wins
- $79.3 million total commitment for the Housing Production Trust Fund
- $3 million increase to the Local Rent Supplement Program for the production of affordable rental housing
- $4 million increase to the Local Rent Supplement Program in tenant-based vouchers
- $7 million increase to Permanent Supportive Housing to support chronically homeless vets and families
- $1 million restoration to the Home Purchase Assistance Program, with an increase in maximum loan amount from $40,000 to $50,000.
- $300 thousand for the East End Homeownership Campaign
- $1 million for a pilot program to fund a DC Low Income Housing Tax Credit
Additional funds were committed to fund a stronger homeless services system including coordinated entry system for individuals, increases to Rapid Rehousing, and many of the program improvements included in the Roadmap to Help Families Home.
A tremendous victory for CNHED's housing advocacy is the fact that the Mayor's budget started with a baseline increase of $30 million in one-time funding for the Housing Production Trust Fund. One of the biggest surprises that occurred yesterday was an increase of $8.7 million for the Housing Production Trust Fund identified by Chairman Mendelson and passed by the DC Council. These funds were unspent capital dollars in the Department of Behavioral Health budget which would have been lost if they had not been moved to the Trust Fund. They are still dedicated to be used for the production of housing for people with serious mental or emotional illness. With this increase, the Housing Production Trust Fund will have a total of $79.3 million next year.
Unfortunately, none of the Councilmembers chose to recognize the importance of the Trust Fund in the vote discussions yesterday, or acknowledge that the Trust Fund is still short of the $100 million goal many of them have advocated for. [See this post for references to Councilmember support for that $100 million.]We will continue to call on the Council to join with us and increase the total Housing Production Trust Fund commitment to $100 million this year and in future years.
