� College News VOL. XXIV, NoT 9 'BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1937 -B^SyrAhi,I%8,T.ErE.?B0?.� PRICE 10 CENTS In Spanish Survey Joseph Lash Cites Loyalist Advantage A. S. U. Speaker Traces Efforts Of the People to Organize Military Forces ANTI-FASCIST FORCES NQW WELL INTEGRATED Common Room, December 7.�The Spanish government, due to the atti-' tude of its people, is not in such a precarious position as is commonly thought, said Joseph Lash, Executive Secretary of the American Students' Union at an open meeting of the Bryn Mawr chapter. In spite of its original basic lacks, as opposed to the advan- tages on the rebel side, the govern- ment since July, 1936, has resolved the oppositions within itself, and to- day its army of 550,000 trained men is well organized and efficient. The basic difficulties that the Span- ish government has met laid in the re- lations among the Spanish people, al- though bound together in opposition to Fascism. There were both sec- tional and political clashes within the Loyalist populations: Catalonia and the Basque country claimed au- tonomy and separated from the gov- ernment, three provinces broke off economic relations; and one town within the would-be autonomous Ara- gon attempted to split off from both Aragon and the government. The po- litical oppositions among the Loyal- ists have been mainly between the Anarchists, the Trotskyites and those supporting Spanish Democracy in and for itself. Mr. Lash feels that his optimism is supported by the fact that the Popu- lar Front has not only overcome these inherent oppositions, but has also built up its army against the extra- ordinary advantages of the Rebel Army. Franco has had the support of the landed aristocracy, of big in- dustry, and of Germany and Italy. Into his ranks poured the managers and technicians of industry, the agri- cultura]_e*p6'rts and the civil servants. This "decapitation" of the govern- ment forces left the Loyalists with no system of justice, no police system, no centralization, and very little knowl- edge of military science. It was the Continued on Page Six Constance Renninger Interprets Aquinas In Process of Intellection Lies Marfs Perfection Common Room, November SO.� Man's comprehension is essentially homogeneous, said Constance Ren- ninger, '39, in a meeting of the Phil- osophy Club. This is in the sense that concepts are assigned varied connota- tions by the mind when an image of that concept cannot be formed. From this we can conclude, with Descartes, that a difference exists between imagination and intellection. Intellection, as imageless, "is man's most completely personal kind of awareness. Individual being is homo- geneous." Similarly, personal iden- tity, as immediate sensation, cannot be qualified except as"a feeling of life; this aspect, common to every percep- tual act, unifies an individual's experi- ence and is distinct from whatever properties the objects of sensation may have. This unity is always gen- erated by being and living as such. Feeling is not solely applicable to emotional functions: "both emotion and intellection have the same imag- inative kind of being in man." Feel- ing, in other words, is involved in all activity whether of sensation or of intellection. This unity of feeling is each man's truth for himself�his truth of being as well as his standard for the truth of external things. Infinite concepts are evolved by in- tellection, not by the imaginative fac- ulty. "It is in the underlying process of all living, that of intellection, that superlative can really be thought." For instance, "Empty, unlimited space is the nearest approximation to an . . . imaginative conception of God." And whereas God is most easily imag- ined as "light," so man, as corporeal and internal "is more easily imagined as a dark space." . . . That is, for the imagination, corporeality and incor- poreality, as internal and external re- spectively, are naturally imagined as "dark'/ and "light." "Thomas Aquinas' cosmological proof of the existence of God shows . . . he thought of his individual unity as a light spirit and as a dependent one," presupposing at the same time an absolute relation of cause and effect in the universe.

His accomplishments repre- sent not only a series of events spec- tacular in themselves, but also a record of sustained triumphs occa- sioned by an unusual ability. After the customary period of. training in a "humanistic gymnas- ium," Professor Panofsky entered the university at Berlin with the firm in- tention of becoming a barrister, as his father and grandfather had been be- fore him. However, during one of his early terms, while he was studying at Freiburg (for it was the custom in Germany for college students to move about freely from one university to another), he met a man named Voege, a teacher of art history. Panofsky felt his influence so strongly then and later that he was persuaded their interests lay along similar lines. Therefore, he worked in history of art for a few years, and when he was still only 21, wrote a paper on The Art Theory of Diirer, which won for him not only the coveted Grimm prize, but also his doctor's degree. (It is of interest to American students that the doctorate is the first and only de- gree given in German universities.) After several years of independent work, Professor Panofsky became as- sociated with the University of Ham- burg, and there worked in co-opera- tion with the Harburg Institute, now located in London, which is devoted to showing the revival and survival of classical ideas in art and science. Be- cause of his fine work in this field, Professor Panofsky was invited in 1931 to lecture at New York Uni- versity. Of America, he said it was a case of "love at first sight;" he had a "marvelous time" in New York. During his second lecture trip here he received word that, with Hitler's accession to power, he would no longer be permitted to teach in Germany, and he decided to remain permanently in America. The telegraph operator who received the message from Ger- many, not being a Bryn Mawr gradu- ate who could "read French and Ger- man at siglit," cheerfully pasted on the cablegram a bright green sticker bearing the words "Happy Easter!" For the past several years, Profes- sor Panofsky has been associated with the Institute for Adjwmced Study at Princeton, but sti*l�gives\ one, lecture course at New York UniVersity, for old time's sake. _ i* Although he is little concerned with modern art, Professor Panofsky said that it was closely related to Medi- aeval art in that both are seeking an escape from reality, the latter in the use of visible symbols of a higher life, the former in representations of the subconscious or deeper life. In other words, he said, surrealism may develop into "Mediaeval art with an inverted sign." ryn Mawr, Professor Panofsky he was quite impressed by the genuine learning of many members of our faculty, and by an unusually un- constrained but serious attitude of "sincere interest in work" on the part of the students. As a parting thought, Professor Panofsky mentioned with charming fatherly pride his two sons at Prince- ton, both seniors, neither of whom is at all interested in history of art,�for which he says he is "very thankful."

There is one interesting sidelight on Dr. Phelps' opinion, which is that he supposes in the present Bryn, Mawr senior class there are 200 students who have been to Europe. "proms." Smith's article is written in particularly coy language beginning wit� exhortations to "my beamish boys;" and whereas Wellesley mod- estly assures their readers that any- one who sends a girl one small green orchid with lilies of the valley is "the Continued od Pajre Four Common Room, November SO.�Mr. Herbert Miller, speaking to the Inter- national Club on "Racial Minorities in Europe," showed how Germany's im- perialistic antagonism to her Polish subjects and her consequent increase; of armaments did a great deal to pre- cipitate the World War. He consid- ered Russia the one country which has successfully dealt with the supposedly I "insoluble problem" of "harmonizing small and scattered national groups' in Europe. Russia's treatment of more than 40 different racial factions within her borders, said Mr. Miller, is exemplary. , Mr. Miller defined that class which opposes the attempt of a ruler to crush out all but one language, religion, or set of customs, in a country, as a mi- nority. In Europe, the situation is serious because such groups are in- evitable and exist within the boun- daries of every country. Even the formation of 'new "secession" states has not eliminated the problem for each includes a number of parti-racial residents. In certain cases the government of such countries has led to difficulties in international diplomacy. Germany, Poland-and Hungary'permit only their own language to be spoken by their residents. The natural result has been that these nationalistic move- ments have effected immediate opposi- tion, and a revival of interest in their own language by a people who other- wise would not have considered it. Russia's plan has eliminated' this automatic, psychological resistance as well as diplomatic disputes with the mother-nations of the minorities. The Russian program comprises a uniform economic system and a complete local cultural aut6nomy. With the reten- tion of its own culture by each na- tional group, the desire to oppose the government disappears and, as Mr. Miller said, "the language which the Continued on Pace Four Goodhart Hall, December 3. The opening night performance of A Bill of Divorcement, given by the Players' Club and members of Princeton Uni- versity, was, unlike some amateur pro- ductions, technically flawless. That is, the pictures stayed on the walls, the sound was effective at the correct time, and in spite of fears expressed by members of the back-stage crev*r no- body in blue jeans walked thought- lessly past the French windows of Acts I and III. It it seems a back- ward process to praise first the unseen army that works for the production of a play, one must only remember how disconcerting the waver of a wall, or the misplacement of painted shadows can be. If the scenery is solid and convincing, the actors are apt to live up to thrir milieu. Unfortunately, be an amateur pro* duction ever so professional, the audi- ence has unaccountable instincts, one of which is to laugh when there is nothing funny. There is hardly ever any reason for this except a state of nerves produced by the tense feeling that something untoward is about to happen, and relief because it has not happened already. To the average person in such a state, the line about horses in Act I is cause for emotion of some sort, and since it is Act I and the tears have not yet begun to well, the only way out is by laughter. Heaven forfend the actors from think- ing their serious lines were being taken lightly. If only one serious line provokes mirth, however, the actors may as- sume that they have, so to speak, put themselves over. A Bill of Divorce- ment is not comic, in any sense; even nineteenth Century Aunt Hester only stamps it with a deeper impress of tragedy, and brave, unmelodramatic, dumb tragedy that tries to hide itself behind a comic mask is food for ex- perience. It is not sophomoric, so one can wonder at Frances Reitler's surprisingly mature performance as Sydney. The part of Sydney has launched more than one successful actress, but this does not prove that it is easy. It is what one makes of it, but it happens to be the kind of part that is more suited to the talents of Continued on Page Three Embryo Fire Attacks New Scientific Building Swirling Students Pour From Hall Windows to Watch Skiing Folders on View Miss Petts has folders txUUm Sky Top, Pecketts of Sugar Hill, and the Lake Placid Club, and all information about rates, railroad fares, etc., which she will be glad to show to anyone interested in skiing.

PEACE COUNCIL PLANS JAPANESE BOYCOTT Pembroke West, December 2.�At a meeting of, the Emergency Peace Council, plans were made and a com- mittee appointed for a campaign for the economic boycott of Japanese goods, particularly raw silk used fo* stockings. The committee, chosen by the representatives of most of the clubs on campus, consists of Louise Mc*ley, '40, chairman^ Ethel Mann, '38; Sylvia Wright, '38; Helen Ham- ilton, '39, and Florence Scott, '38. The committee plans a meeting on December 13, at which speakers will present the various aspects of such a boycott, its economic effects upon in- dustry, on the hosiery workers, and, on the international situation. These for discussion. The purpose of the Council in tak- ing this action is to stimulate discus- sion of the boycott on campus and to facilitate its application by those who favor it as a means of checking the Japanese aggression in China. Later an attempt will be made to poll stu tytlent opinion on the matter. December 6.�A minor fire in the incompleted Science building brought two fire engines, a police car, most of Bryn Mawr's male (and some of its escaped female) population to the lower' campus. Equally great was the excitement aroused among those un- happily confined in the halls. At 10.30 the power-house siren went off in a rising crescendo, and in- stantly halls not already locked were vacated as their inmates dashed out under various hazy impressions as to the fire's location. A growing crowd, collected at the lower end of Senior Row, found only a small blaze which was extinguished by the porters and men from the village before the fire apparatus arrived. The fire was discovered by two Den- bighites walking down Senior .Row, who; noticed .a red glare reflected on the walls of the new building. A hasty glance over the high fence showed flames licking the scaffolding and the lower part of a wooden stair- case.

Monoclonal antibodies are small proteins directed against ³marker proteins,² known as antigens, present on the surface of tumor cells. This antibody, known as Anti-B1 Antibody, is directed against CD-20 antigens present on follicular lymphoma cancer cells. Radioactive iodine (I-131) attached to the monoclonal antibody provides directed killing of the cells to which it attaches.
The researchers of this study presented results from a phase II trial of I-131 Anti-B1 Antibody, conducted with patients not previously treated for follicular lymphoma. The results were quite impressive, with an initial tumor response rate of 100 percent -- 71% complete response and 9% partial response -- in 21 patients. Treatment was generally well-tolerated. This therapy appears to be a promising new agent for first-line treatment of follicular lymphoma, though larger trials will be needed to determine its long-term benefit.
Sep 26, 2012 - An initial watch-and-wait strategy does not have a detrimental effect on the freedom from treatment failure or overall survival rate in selected patients with low-tumor burden follicular lymphoma compared with patients initially treated with rituximab-containing regimens, according to research published online Sept. 24 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

What is Population Health?
In its most fundamental sense, population health is a systematic approach to health care that aims to prevent and cure disease by keeping people healthy. Population health builds on public health foundations by
- Connecting prevention, wellness and behavioral health science with health care delivery, quality and safety, disease prevention/management and economic issues of value and risk – all in the service of a specific population, be it a city, provider's practice, employee group, hospital's primary service area or pre-school children.
- Identifying socio-economic and cultural factors that determine the health of populations and developing policies that address the impact of these determinants.
- Applying epidemiology and biostatistics in new ways to model disease states, map their incidence and predict their impact.
- Using data analysis to design social and community interventions and new models of healthcare delivery that stress care coordination and ease of accessibility.
When applied to healthcare delivery, population health differs from conventional health care by emphasizing value rather than volume of services rendered.

Summer School
Throughout the school year, the Baseball Hall of Fame's distance learning program allows students around the country to experience the Museum without ever leaving their classroom.
Even with school out for the summer, the Hall of Fame's education team is still hard at work bringing baseball history to the locations throughout the United States. This summer, Hall of Fame educators have traveled virtually to locations in Texas, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri and California, to discuss a variety of baseball related topics.
Popular summer venues for distance learning programs include libraries, community and senior centers, and schools hosting professional development seminars for educators. This past week, children participating in a summer camp program at the Dallas Children's Library were treated to a virtual tour of the Baseball Hall of Fame and a lesson on preserving and caring for their own collectibles and treasures. A day later a group of seniors in Beachwood, Ohio, had the opportunity to examine a collection of documents from the Museum's library, while sharing their memories of baseball in the 1930s and beyond.
Visitors to Cooperstown can also share in the distance learning experience by connecting to some exciting baseball destinations. Weekly programs take Museum visitors to such places as the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, and AT&T Park in San Francisco.
"With these programs, our visitors have the unique opportunity to not only experience the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but visit places that are thousands of miles away," said Steve Light, the Museum's manager of museum programs. "It allows them to tour that ballpark they never made it to, or get the inside scoop on the process of manufacturing bats. This is our third year offering distance learning programs for public audiences and they have been a huge hit."
To schedule a distance learning program with the Baseball Hall of Fame for your school, library or community center, please contact the Education department at 607-547-0347 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The mission of the public relations program is to prepare students for a multi-faceted, protean profession that draws upon expertise in a variety of disciplines and integrates them with the skills and values of public relations. We recognize that many career titles fall under the umbrella of public relations. Therefore, we seek to make students aware of the wide variety of professional and academic opportunities available and to recognize the increasingly global application of their knowledge and skills. Through a program that builds toward increasingly difficult and complex assignments, including the internship and culminating in the capstone experience, we hope to empower students through their education to have the courage and confidence to become leaders in their professions.
In keeping with our mission, the goals we set for our students are as follows:
To make ethical decisions
To understand multiple audiences
To identify problems and opportunities
To listen effectively
To speak persuasively
To write clearly in a variety of styles

Fabulous Bookcase
I purchased this bookcase for my husband's home office. It arrived quickly and was well packed. It was easy to assemble and looks great. Beautiful finish, excellent quality. As others have said, this is a fabulous piece of furniture, especially for the price. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Product at a great price
Very happy with my purchase. The shelves are made of solid wood - not flimsy veneer. The finish is beautiful and looks far more expensive than what I paid. They are heavy, sturdy shelves that make a great addition to any room.

My favorite
This may just be my favorite piece of furniture in my entire house. It is solid and beautiful. I get so many complements on it. The color blends well with other pieces I have. I would buy a set of end tables tomorrow if there were some available!

Beautiful bookcase!
This bookcase was incredibly easy to assemble and is gorgeous. The brown looks rich and expensive. The shelves are very sturdy, with the bookcase currently holding a total of (approximately) 40 lbs of books. While I am very happy with the purchase and considering another, please note that this is NOT solid wood. The construction is very sturdy and solid, but the bookcase itself if not actually solid wood. The frame is solid wood but the top and bottom panels as well as the shelf are made of MDF. If you are looking for solid wood this will not meet your expectations. But it is a beautiful bookcase and looks just wonderful!!!!!
January 28, 2013
Well built and a handsome piece of furniture
This bookcase is a great addition to almost any room with its light, casual design. The material is excellent--solid wood and very sturdy--and the finish and craftsmanship are quite good, making it a cinch to assemble. Overall, this is great value for the money. I bought one the same night I'm writing this review and I'm going back to the store tomorrow for two more.

5 the return of a classicsparky356781 | 25/11/2010 | See all sparky356781's reviews (7)i had this on the snes and it was brilliant then and it will be brilliant now. i have been saying for ages that they should re-release this series because it was such a sucsess back in the late 80,s and 90,s. if your like me and this game is a nostalgic trip down memory lane, or if you enjoyed the new super mario game you will love this, and at such a fantastic price (as you alwys get with play) make sure you buy this game. its great for youngsters or seious gamers. i,ve pre ordered mine and can't wait to get my hands on it. BUY THIS GAME!
1 Lazy port and that's only the start...RiderOnTheStorm | 04/12/2010 | See all RiderOnTheStorm's reviews (2)Official Nintendo Magazine gave this 90%, but what does one expect, they're official! What a joke. As much as i like the mario games, Mario All-Stars Wii isn't worth the asking price, nor the 90% mark a magazine like ONM gave it.Let's face it, it's just a lazy port from Nintendo as it's just a SNES rom bundled with an emulator on a disc, around 8mb, if that. The interface within the game still shows the SNES controller, Nintendo didn't even bother to implement a proper Wii interface within the game.Nintendo could've went into overdrive with this bundle by updating the graphics to NSMB (New Super Mario Bros) standard, adding additional games i.e. Super Mario World, Mario 64, etc, and by implementing a proper 16:9 widescreen support for all games. But they haven't.What we have is a cheap as chips cash-in wrapped in fancy packaging. Buying it would send out all the wrong signals. Plus the PAL version is only 50Hz, yes, that means 17% slower than the US/JPN versions, which is shocking for any title in 2010.Avoid at all costs.
1 not certainly worth the money, lazy attempt by nintendoBengalTiger | 06/12/2010 | See all BengalTiger's reviews (2)i have no problem with mario games, they are my best of all times game. but problem with this release, heres why:1) no super mario world 2 (also cud have chucked world 1 too)2) lack of special content3) not worth the money asked by retailer, to me its worth 10 quid, as its jus copy & paste into a cd with a couple of page booklet and few soundtrack on seperate discto me its jus a lazy attempt to make money, invest your money on donkey kong. nintendo shud have at least remixed the soundtrack of levels or give a new artwork to the game, a fresh coloring pallette to stage design & character like they did with SNES Super Mario games taking from NES.
5 Nintendo share's Mario's 25th Birthday Present!Jahpaul | 08/12/2010 | See all Jahpaul's reviews (20)This game allows you to return back to 1993, the game was originally released on the Super Nintendo (SNES) in 1993 and to Celebrate Mario's 25th Birthday Nintendo decided to re-release it. it's Classic Mario and it also features Mario the Lost Levels which was never released in Europe until 1993. My favourite game is Mario 3 it's a clever but tricky game but it's still as good and fun as it was always. Back in 1993 Nintendo took these games and gave them the 16-bit treatment, OK they could have given these games New Super Mario bros style graphics but I'm not bothered the whole package is Classic Mario. The pack comes with the Mario All Stars disc game, A Mario soundtrack which is not bad and a booklet with different write up's about the games. If you're new to Mario games then you shoud pick this title up and it will keep you going for a while, especially the tricky Lost Levels! Honestly I think this game should not be missing from your games shelf.
5 Essential retro gamingGAVIN2K | 30/11/2010 | See all GAVIN2K's reviews (7)Mario All-Stars was a pinnacle game for the Super Nintendo as the original 3 games were for the NES. As stated by another review the graphics have not been enhanced in any way since their revamp for the SNES back in the 90s. This for me was a good thing as too many changes and enhancements start to detract from the original charm. Super Mario Bros 3 still remains one of my favorite platform gaming experiences to this day and regardless of picture quality on a HDTV (which really isnt that bad at all) will remain a firm favorite with many people.

Cannabinoids As Cancer Hope

NORML | NORML Foundation
"Cannabinoids possess … anticancer activity [and may] possibly represent a new class of anti-cancer drugs that retard cancer growth, inhibit angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and the metastatic spreading of cancer cells." So concludes a comprehensive review published in the October 2005 issue of the scientific journal Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry.
Not familiar with the emerging body of research touting cannabis' ability to stave the spread of certain types of cancers? You're not alone.
For over 30 years, US politicians and bureaucrats have systematically turned a blind eye to scientific research indicating that marijuana may play a role in cancer prevention -- a finding that was first documented in 1974. That year, a research team at the Medical College of Virginia (acting at the behest of the federal government) discovered that cannabis inhibited malignant tumor cell growth in culture and in mice. According to the study's results, reported nationally in an Aug. 18, 1974, Washington Post newspaper feature, administration of marijuana's primary cannabinoid THC, "slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent."
Despite these favorable preclinical findings, US government officials dismissed the study (which was eventually published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 1975), and refused to fund any follow-up research until conducting a similar –- though secret –- clinical trial in the mid-1990s. That study, conducted by the US National Toxicology Program to the tune of $2 million concluded that mice and rats administered high doses of THC over long periods experienced greater protection against malignant tumors than untreated controls.
Rather than publicize their findings, government researchers once again shelved the results, which only came to light after a draft copy of its findings were leaked in 1997 to a medical journal, which in turn forwarded the story to the national media.
Nevertheless, in the decade since the completion of the National Toxicology trial, the U.S. government has yet to encourage or fund additional, follow up studies examining the cannabinoids' potential to protect against the spread cancerous tumors.
Fortunately, scientists overseas have generously picked up where US researchers so abruptly left off. In 1998, a research team at Madrid's Complutense University discovered that THC can selectively induce apoptosis (program cell death) in brain tumor cells without negatively impacting the surrounding healthy cells. Then in 2000, they reported in the journal Nature Medicine that injections of synthetic THC eradicated malignant gliomas (brain tumors) in one-third of treated rats, and prolonged life in another third by six weeks.
In 2003, researchers at the University of Milan in Naples, Italy, reported that non-psychoactive compounds in marijuana inhibited the growth of glioma cells in a dose dependent manner and selectively targeted and killed malignant cancer cells.
The following year, researchers reported in the journal of the American Association for Cancer Research that marijuana's constituents inhibited the spread of brain cancer in human tumor biopsies. In a related development, a research team from the University of South Florida further noted that THC can also selectively inhibit the activation and replication of gamma herpes viruses. The viruses, which can lie dormant for years within white blood cells before becoming active and spreading to other cells, are thought to increase one's chances of developing cancers such as Karposis Sarcoma, Burkitts lymphoma, and Hodgkins disease.
More recently, investigators published pre-clinical findings demonstrating that cannabinoids may play a role in inhibiting cell growth of colectoral cancer, skin carcinoma, breast cancer, and prostate cancer, among other conditions. When investigators compared the efficacy of natural cannabinoids to that of a synthetic agonist, THC proved far more beneficial – selectively decreasing the proliferation of malignant cells and inducing apoptosis more rapidly than its synthetic alternative while simultaneously leaving healthy cells unscathed.
Nevertheless, US politicians have been little swayed by these results, and remain steadfastly opposed to the notion of sponsoring – or even acknowledging – this growing body clinical research, preferring instead to promote the unfounded notion that cannabis use causes cancer. Until this bias changes, expect the bulk of research investigating the use of cannabinoids as anticancer agents to remain overseas and, regrettably, overlooked in the public discourse.

Speaking purely from personal experience, I would take being hammered over being high any day. When I first tried smoking pot and got high it was the first time I was genuinely scared of anything. I couldn't feel my legs, people were talking to me and I couldn't hear them, my head was spinning constantly and then I blacked out till the next morning.
No, it wasn't laced. It was weed that I helped my buddy grow from day 1. It's just that weed and me don't mix, and I know a couple other people who've gotten "The Fear" from it too, while they've been perfectly normal while drunk.

Actually Chisel we have been thus far unable to find proof that marijuana can cause cancer.
Now, rolling papers however...

Do you have links to the studies that show this? I'd be interested in reading them. I'm especially interested in the claim about depression.
I have read about direct links between alcohol and diseases. Don't get me wrong, I still drink. But, I also know what diseases I can get from making that choice. My old roommate was a pathologist and would get drunk and tell me which organs alcohol affected and the diseases it creates. It all goes back to choice. I believe the facts should be readily available to all so that each individual can make what ever choice they choose.
Waiting for your links to back your claims. Thanks in advance.

The Legendary Rhine-Romantic Route stretches for approximately 586 kilometres on both riverbanks between Düsseldorf and Mainz, linking over 100 places where Germany's best-loved, most delightful tales and legends are set.
The route leads through breathtaking scenery to gorgeous locations that inspired the works of the Rhine Romantics as long ago as the early 19th century. Old sagas, myths and legends come back to life as you follow Germany's biggest river: the elves of Cologne, the baker's boys of Andernach, Siegfried's dragon fight on Drachenfels cliff, the treasure of the Nibelungs and the blond mermaid Loreley. The Loreley valley is especially enchanting, with the Mouse Tower at Bingen, the 'eye roller' at Koblenz and the legend of how Marksburg Castle at Braubach got its name. Between the Rhine and the Nahe river, you can delve into the origins of Michel, the national personification of Germany, or discover how many grains of truth the Trübenbach saga contains in Kirn. The Rheingau is a rich source of discovery, with Eberbach Abbey and the spring waters at Wiesbaden, and in Mainz you can explore the legend behind the city's coat of arms. But don't let your thirst for unravelling mysteries and legends distract you from the many other places of interest. Here, where the Rhine carves its way through the slate mountains between Bingen and Koblenz, you're also in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage site, an area full of castles that embody the German Romantic tradition. The settings featured in the Rhine's myths, tales and legends are perfect for discovering on foot or by bike – you're sure to be impressed!

We returned from the field in Patagonia to the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. At about 13 million people in the metro area, BA is the largest city in the country, and third largest in modern Gondwana (behind Sao Paulo and Cairo). There are dinosaurs in Buenos Aires, but only in museums, as the fossils were found in other parts of the country- mostly Patagonia. We spent one day at the Natural Science Museum, or MACN, on the edge of Palermo.
I can't wait for Archaeology Weekend (April 14 – 15). It's REALLY going to be special. BUT! Before we get there, let me tell you a story!
On Saturday, March 31, the Young Patrons' Circle (YPC) hosted the seventh annual PROM at the ROM fundraising bash. This year's creative circus theme was a three-ring success – and a record-breaking PROM with over 900 guests in attendance!
Hundreds of big top beauties and carnival cuties danced the night away, indulged in delicious treats and enjoyed a midway packed with fun-fair activities and live entertainment.
Dr. Anthony Aveni uses what we have learned about the Maya calendar and what we know about astronomy to debunk irrational predictions about the year 2012
The question above was asked of Colgate University professor Dr. Anthony Aveni, one of the pioneers in the field of archaeoastronomy (the study of the astronomy and related beliefs of ancient cultures), when he was talking to a Maya friend in the course of his research.
Submitted by Vincent Vertolli, Assistant Curator Geology
On a chilly February evening, Dr. David Stuart of the University of Texas at Austin shared his enthusiasm for the Maya site of Palenque, and took the ROM audience to a very different time and place.
This morning, the ROM's Maya High Priest hopped on the GO-Train giving commuters a surprise welcome with their morning coffees. Promoting the final days of Maya: Secrets of their Ancient World before it closes on April 9, 2012, this was a fun event for everyone (and a chilly one for the our High Priest)!
Last stop...Union Station!

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Treatment
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic endocrine disorder in women. With PCOS, the ovaries make the follicles, but the eggs do not mature or leave the ovary. The immature follicles can turn into fluid-filled sacs called cysts.
Ovary and Fallopian Tube
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The cause is not exactly known. Genes may play a role. The problem appears related to insulin resistance that creates high levels of insulin. These high insulin levels cause too much androgen from the ovaries. This prevents ovulation and leads to enlarged, polycystic ovaries. Excess androgen is also associated with:

TA star ratings sytem broken - scores all too high
This is constructive criticism, I'm not simply nagging.
But anyone else find that Touch Arcade's scoring system for game reviews is uninformative and of little meaning/value/distinction because of the base fact that TA ALWAYS gives ratings that are very high. Almost everything is either 3.5, 4, or 4.5 stars. When you rate 90% of games in this small and high range, there is no distinction between games, and thus the ratings have no meaning/substance. I mean, I don't think anything lower than 2 stars even exists in TA's rating system. And TA consistently rates games that aren't very good and that they criticize a fair amount in the text of a review as 3.5 or occasionally 3. These are games that deserve 1-2.5 stars. Saying 'everything's at least pretty good' as the ratings indicate does nothing for a consumer looking to single out a particularly good games. TA seems to always give benefit of the doubt to games and in general seems scared to rate games lower than 3.5. THE CURVE IS TOO HIGH. Again, when you rate almost all games as 3.5-4.5, it takes meaning away from the ratings, and highly indicates that TA wants to give as many games as possible inflated ratings (why this reason is, I'm not sure, it could well be not wanting to upset developers or sponsors, being scared to be too critical, generally wanting to support the platform so giving most everything overly complementary ratings, etc.). |
We only post about games that are good, or otherwise noteworthy. You don't see any 1 star reviews because assigning a writer a game that is clearly terrible is a waste of their time and a waste of the reader's time. People seem to come to TouchArcade for recommendations of what to download, not what to avoid. It's not difficult to find junk on the App Store, you don't need a web site for that.
The result of only reviewing good games is a top-heavy scoring system, you're totally correct. Personally, I think review scores are completely pointless, and fought very hard to keep them off TouchArcade. Unfortunately, for as much as I tried, those who wanted review scores pushed back just as hard. I really don't understand what it is about people that requires some kind of quantitative metric to compare things, but, Metacritic wouldn't be the juggernaut that it is if it wasn't for a demand for what they offer. My suggestion is to just read the review and see if it sounds like something you're interested in regardless of how many stars are attached to it. Hell, some of my favorite movies barely break the 6/10 mark on IMDB, but that doesn't stop me from loving them. Edit: And remember, this is how we describe our star rating system: "Our final scores are not the product of any traditionally objective measures such as graphics or sound, but simply reflect the games we would most recommend to others." A three star game is still a "good" game, at least in my eyes. And really, I've had a ton of fun with even the most flawed games. I think Spell Tower was one of the best puzzle games of 2011, but its interface on the iPhone is clunky as hell. Regardless, I've dumped days into it. Last edited by Eli; 02-06-2012 at 12:57 PM.. |
Sure, we don't use the full scale. But, like President-In-Chief Eli Hoddap just said, that's because we don't review garbage games. Telling you that a game sucks on a platform clotted with bad games isn't doing anyone any favors.
Giving you a heads up on a good one on the other hand? That's what we're all about. I'd say sit back, read the review, and don't even look at the rating. If someone sounds good, just grab it. EDIT: Also, I'm not a big fan of people accusing us of inflating stuff. Go read a magazine and get back to me on inflated scoring. Last edited by Brad Nicholson; 02-06-2012 at 01:54 PM.. |
Agreed. Go ahead and read Gameinformer in particular. Then you will see a "Paid Review" and inflated scoring. |
See. If you're really interested in a game or not sure to try/to buy you check other sites as well (yes, there are other iOS-gaming sites - but not for me ).
TA Rating System
I tried posting this as a comment to the lastest "So You Just Got an iPhone 5... Let's Get Started" article, but either Disqus won't let me or I'm not allowed to comment on TA anymore (I hope not).
Either way, I think the current rating system needs to be adjusted. My original comment is below. -- If you don't give out ratings less than 2 stars, you should move to a 4-star rating system or re-weight the rating distribution over 5 stars. Ratings are only valuable to users when they can be used effectively to convey or compare the quality of games. As it is right now, most of us who frequent TA already know that: 5 stars = Definitely worth checking out 4.5 stars = Very good if you can overlook some flaws 4 stars = An "average" game By "average" game, I mean average amongst the games on the app store with at least a decent amount of polish, not average in terms of every game on the app store. (There is a lot of unplayable stuff out there, and most games would be 4.8 ~5.0 stars if rated on an absolute scale.) Anything under 4 stars we already know not to bother with, be it for poor IAP models or clunky controls. What I'm saying is: positioning TA as a game discovery site is great (it's exactly what many of us use it for) but weighting review ratings higher actually hurts this purpose rather than helps it. We want to know how games compare to other decent games, and it's harder to get this kind of information from a rating system that is skewed by games that even the article admits is not worth bothering with. When ratings are weighted the way they are, savvy TA readers can tell it's in effect a 3-point system with the appearance of a 10-point system. |
There is a relevant thread with posts from administrators here:
http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=121844 And there has been endless discussion of this topic in many random game threads. Basically it sounds like they only begrudgingly include ratings at all and wish they had never started using them. |
It's actually way better than the console world where acceptable score ranges are 8.5/10 to 10/10. But, yeah, I wish we never had to implement review scores at all. Sort of a necessity with the way the app works. I think what causes my intense review score fatigue is how commenters take review scores about 10,000 times more seriously than we do when we're assigning them.
I think most of the time you're never going to please everybody. Give a 5 star review? A vocal minority will critisize the iap "on principle" or hate on the "super short story". Give a lower score? Everyone will rail on you for hating on a game or the devs (as in dead trigger or shadowgun) or proclaim their love for the game adamantly. Dammed if you do, damned if you don't.
Of course I've never reviewed anything, but that's the impression I usually get. |
I actually would prefer a move back to the old reviews that had no scores. It places an emphasis on the review itself and could lead to better review writing and some interesting discussion. Your review score is your endorsement for a game/product. I'm not sure you should be taking them 10,000 times less seriously than readers. Developers will quote your review scores in their app descriptions, just like restaurants will quote Zagat scores and ratings. The scores should always be something you stand by. If not, just don't implement them. |

Tomorrow I'll finally publish how. (When you see it, you're going to think, "this is so anticlimactic.")

Second (from my 5-year-old): "Mom, why does Elvis live at the North Pole?"

Stridor is an abnormal, high-pitched, musical breathing sound. It is caused by a blockage in the throat or voice box (larynx). It is most often heard when taking in a breath.
Breathing sounds - abnormal; Extrathoracic airway obstruction; Wheezing
Children are at higher risk of airway blockage because they have narrower airways than adults. In young children, stridor is a sign of airway blockage. It must be treated right away to prevent the airway from becoming completely closed.
The airway can be blocked by an object , swollen tissues of the throat or upper airway, or a spasm of the airway muscles or the vocal cords.
Common causes of stridor include:
Follow your doctor's advice to treat the cause of the problem.
Stridor may be a sign of an emergency. Call your health care provider right away if there is unexplained stridor, especially in a child.
In an emergency, the health care provider will check the person's temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure, and may need to do the Heimlich maneuver .
A breathing tube may be needed if the person can't breathe properly.
After the person is stable, the health care worker may ask questions about the patient's medical history, and perform a physical exam . This includes listening to the lungs.
Parents or caregivers may be asked the following medical history questions:
Tests that may be done include:

5 A favourite. A very strange but rewarding favourite.isopropophlex | 30/04/2012 | See all isopropophlex's reviews (28)"The unfilmable book" has been made into a film by one of cinema's only celluloid smiths capable of doing so - David Cronenberg.But - readers of the book beware - this isn't the book, this is a film about writing the book, but it's not, but it is.Taking parts from the book, and parts from the life of Burroughs, the film compiles a story of what is basically the writing process to an addict (I do apologise for what is probably a very reductive attempt at a description).Shocking, daring, and definitely very technical, the story gives a feeling of eventual detachment from reality, and welcomes you into a world where the animatronic rubberized creatures from Cronenberg's mind seem to have more soul than the human characters.This is a very odd movie with very odd subject matter, but ultimately, an excellent one. Buy it if you like weird thinky movies.
4 Naked Lunch.FishBoneDiscs | 22/04/2009 | See all FishBoneDiscs's reviews (190)Top 100 DVD Reviewer A truly bizzare film which is confusing and shocking. Its well worth a watch but be prepared to be confused and somethimes disturbed.

First time to Capri? Here's some basic information to get you started!
Island of Capri
- 10km squared: The total area of the island
- 2 towns: Capri (7292 inhabitants) Anacapri (6733 inhabitants)
How much do hotels cost on Capri
The number of people who visit
Capri each year -
The number of people who
spend at least one night
on the island -
The number of people who arrive
daily on the island in August
Distance between the main airports and Capri
- 45 km from Naples
- 292 km from Rome Fiumicino
Wherever your plane lands, you'll need to reach the port of Naples from where hydrofoils to Capri depart.
If you land in Rome, bear in mind that the journey from Rome to Capri is not a short one.
You'll need at least 4 hours from the time you land.
If your plane lands in the afternoon, consider staying the night in Rome or Naples and continuing your journey to Capri the next morning.
On request, all hotels will organize a private car and boat transfer to the port of Naples and greeting service at the port of Capri: a stress-free and, if your travelling in a small group, suprisingly economic way of getting to the island.
- How long does it take to get to Capri?
- 25 minutes From the port of Sorrento
- 50 minutes From the port of Naples
- 40 minutes From the port of Positano (boats sail direct in summer only)

The best months to visit Capri are April, May, September and October when the climate is mild and the island is less crowded.
Whenever you decide to come, make sure you spend at least one night on the island; that way you'll be able to enjoy the peace of Capri - after the day trippers have left!

It's not something new to share here in this thread, it's something I gotta share.
Some stuff I recognized in there: Metal Slug, DDR, Initial D Arcade Stage 4, and other stuff.
But it makes me want to say many things though. Firstly, I'd have to say that it's a shame that this had to happen. I never played much arcade games when I was kid, but damn, really, it's a shame. I don't remember well of the old days but the arcades...they were so fantastic. I'd imagine right now that I'm buying these tokens and inserting them away trying to finish an arcade game with much persistence. At one point, I managed to finish one, and it's hard for me to believe now that was also going to be my last. If I ever want to play another arcade game, I just emulate them.
I promised myself that I'll be posting game-related stuff to the Clan Snafu forum but I had to bring this up here instead. I'm gonna miss my childhood more than ever now with this happening here, there, and everywhere.... *sigh*
Well then, I guess this is it. The only wish that I would have loved to ever come true is that arcades games get modernized. But unfortunately it didn't. Who wants to spend money on playing MvC3 or Tekken at the arcades when you can play it online?
