Bailey began producing fine dress headwear in 1922, priding itself on founder George Bailey's emphasis on the importance of a professionally crafted hat. Bailey evolved from fine dress headwear to include a Western and Outdoor collection, allowing Bailey to segue into a broader market. Bailey Hats are known for the craftsmanship of their product; quality that is apparent in all styles and luxury fibers and fabrics including fur felt, leather, genuine Panama, straw, wool and cloth hats and caps.
Many of the styles by Bailey feature classic fedora and derby blocks. These hats often have a little touch of contemporary style to them, whether it be with a flared feather inside of the hat band, a laser-cut or tie style band, or a pattern along the crown that really sets off the hat's style. These classic styles (also found within the different Hats in the Belfry collections) are perfect for formal events, casual days, and even less dressier occasions that require that perfect touch to that great outfit.

^ The College News z.eu VOL. XXVII, No. 9 Mass Meeting Held to Discuss Week-end Leaves BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1940 copyright, Trutt�u of price 10 CENTS Permission for Overnight Visits Suggested by Self-Gov Bryn News Board Smashes Ghost Writer Racket; Trial Paper Receives Below Average Mark Goodhart Auditorium, Wednes- day, November 20.�A mass meet- ing of the Self-Government Asso- ciation conducted by Virginia Nich- ols was held to discuss the question of weekend permissions. A resolu- tion was passed to the effect that the Self-Government Board would draw up a paragraph of interpre- tation of the word "chaperon" and apply it to the rules concerning permission as they now stand, and that next year the present rules would be altered to read that per- mission must be gotten for any un- chaperoned visits. The halls will vote separately concerning this res- olution. The discussion concerned the Self-government board's suggestion that the new rule read: A student must have special permission for any over .night absence from col- lege unless she is staying with a member on her family. Virginia Nichols stressed the fact that the main purpose of this rule would be to make the person think twice about the suitability of the ar- rangements, and in the event that CnnMnum nn Fsee Four In the interests of standards, the News conducted an experiment; it was a little expensive, but it was worth it. We commissioned a member of Mr. Weiss' first year philosophy class, who was writing a paper on A Comparison of Parmenides and Heracleitus, to act as the control element, stripped her of her biblio- graphy and mailed it off to Student Services, Ltd., with an order for a paper on the same subject. The victim with a paper due spent a week quailing at the prospect of competition from Phd.'s, L. L. D.'s and doctors of Arts of Tearing off Themes. Other agents of ours were, mean- while, carrying on a secretive cor- respondence with Services Ltd. First we wrote and explained that it was "very important that this paper receive a good mark." Their reply jacked the price with "We should like to point out that the charge for a paper requiring re- search material is higher than that for a paper consisting of mere opinion." A post-script added, "You may be assured that such a paper would receive the very best criticisms, an excellent mark." After the necessary confirma- tions by telegram, the manuscript arrived special delivery and post- marked two-thirty A. M. The.re- cipient, receiving the obvious envel- ope at the breakfast table, suffered acute embarrasment. The paper was accompanied by the following note: "May I urge you to read the piece over and to acquaint yourself with the ideas expressed therein. If possible look at some of the books mentioned. Will you kindly Continued on Page Four Swing Your Partner On Saturday evening, from eight until eleven, there will be a Square Dance in the Gym, for the benefit of the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp. Haverford has been invited and Allen Stokes will call the figures. Music will be sup- plied by Chris Sanderson, his fiddle, and his upcountry or- chestra. Tickets are 35 cents. Drive Distributions To Date Announced The Activities Drive has collected and distributed the money brought in by the first payday. Out of the 4951 dollars pledged this means that 1279 dollars has been received and has been paid out in the fol- lowing way: to the Bryn Mawr League, 545 dollars of which 400 dollars went to the Hudson Shore Labor School, 50 dollars to the In- dustrial Group, 25 dollars to the Haverford Community Center, 10 dollars to the Better Baby Clinic, and 60 dollars for running ex- penses. To the Players' Club went 400 dollars which takes care of this organization's yearly budget. The Peace Council received 250 dollars as well as 170 dollars for the ambulance fund. Newly estab- lished as part of the Drive this year is the Refugee Scholarship fund which received from the first Continued on Page Five B. M. Students, Although Knitting Arduously. Seem More Intellectual Than in Last War By Ann Denny, '43 World War I made Bryn Mawr roll its own hockey fields, plant potatoes, set its thermostats at 65 degrees, and tighten its belts around Tuesday's meatless meals. The classes of 1914-18 made chol- era bands, nightshirts and bed jackets, and rolled bandages en- thusiastically, while 1940-41 reel out quantities of "sea boots" and particularly lean toward scarfs of fabulous length. The Red Cross drive; "packages for France" drive; there was even an ambulance drive, and more than that, two hospital beds bore the name of Bryn Mawr College over the sea. "Packages for France" .unlike "Bundles for Britain," ask- ed especially for a personal letter to each soldier, so that many a French "poilu" had a Bryn Mawr "marraine." A few professors had leave of absence for military serv- ice. The girls also worried about the possibility of brothers and other male interests going off, for mili- tary training. First aid courses boasted large enrollment, and the importance of women, a much "more radical thought in those days, was stressed. Poor Big May Day had a similar death straggle, and 1916 as well as 1940 graduated without seeing it. Later on, of course, as the United States entered the war, the squeez- ing became even tighter. An emer- gency fee was added to the tuition and board�50 dollars a head. Sug- gestions were made for planting potatoes on college ground (a men- tion of onions was not so well met) and after long discussion a farm in West Chester was given over to Bryn Mawr vegetables. A group of students took up the shovel and the hoe and spent many a long weekend in the potato patch. Coal ran low; light and heat had to be conserved; and a great deal of hard work occupied students who had to keep up their studies and be patriotic at the same time. On the intellectual side we have progressed a little from the atti- tude of World �".'."-� -irLess inter- ested in the ideals of democracy, those other Bryn Mawr girls read exciting letters telling of escape from Berlin, of horrors, and more horrors, with passionate pleas for aid to the Belgians. But the amazing thing about it all is this: even in those times, more unsettled than the present, Bryn Mawr had more college acti- vities than we have now�that is, more plays and more sports. It is a question whether they believed, as they professed, that their duty lay at college or whether we ex- ceed them in contact with the out- side world. One thing is sure: in spite of our fifty-six inch scarfs and striped socks, wc tend more to- wards speculation and intellectual progress while 1914 had many more energetic undertakings. , Circus Atmosphere And Carnival Gaiety Promised for Dance The annual college Dance held on Saturday, December 7, follow- ing the Bryn Mawr - Haverford production of Our Town, will be a gala event. The Gym will be dec- orated to represent a circus tent, with a band-wagon for the orches- tra. A canopy overhead, and pos- ters by Bert Graves, Tom Garside and his Ambassa- dors, who played at the June dance, will again furnish the rhythm. The dance will be a program affair, with girls stag; and the gentlemen will meet their appointed partners under signs, according to halls, as they did last spring. The dance will begin at eleven and end at two. Tickets are one dollar and seventy-five cents stag and two dollars a couple, and can be acquired in every hall. Rehearsals Promise Excellent 'Our Town' Rapid Actors' Shuttle Needed Between B. M. and Haver- ford for Rehearsing Cast A tiptop performance of Our Town seems imminent at Haverford and Bryn Mawr on December 6 and 7, at least as far as rehearsals are going. The cast dashes busily back and forth between colleges in buses, cars, and anything that happens to be handy. Since there are no props, no props need to be carted around, making things a lot simpler. But a tremendous cast is no help at all. The pantomiming is a lot of fun and will probably be quite effective when it is polished up. Sound ef- fects are creeping in, often at the right time, believe it or not. The acting is going well, despite the fact that lines still are fringed around the edges, but that happens to any play, so we don't have to worry. Bryn Mawr and Haverford should look forward to a really good performance of Thornton Wilder's play, produced on Broad- way only two seasons ago.

It is hardly possible to praise Miss Traubel highly enough, for it is a rare privilege to hear a voice of such extraordinary power and reson- ance, combining technical skill with a deep feeling for dramatic ex- pression. Miss Traubel's mastery of the soprano range was such that her high notes were equally as warm and clear as her low notes, and every tone was full of beauty. Only an artist of unique ability could render an intellectual and emotional interpretation of such di- verse composers in Miss Traubel's inspiring fashion. The soprano sang difficult excerpts from Wag- ner with the same ease that she displayed in simple Folk-Songs such as Siving Low, Sweet Chariot. The first selections on the pro- gram were three songs by Beet- hoven. The pomp of Gotten Macht und Versehung, effected by the massive tones, was contrasted by the more gentle and quiet charac- ter of Wonne der Wehmuth and Continued on Page Six Art News Mr. J. C.

Dr. Wind gave a lecture at Haverford last year on Michelangelo's Sistine Ceil- ing. M. Meigs Reviews Fall Issue of Lantern: Declares Charge of Decadence Obsolete Especially contributed by Mitt Mary Meigs Since the fall issue of the Lan- tern emerged from its chrysalis last week, one or two literati con- nected wilh it have asked anxiously whether I thought it was decadent If it is any comfort to them, I might say that the Lantern stop- ped being decadent at least a year ago; that one can no longer dis- miss it with a single satisfying ad- jective. What we used to mean by calling it decadent, I hardly know; most of the stories in 1938 and 1939 had a pessimistic ethical out- look, some of the poetry was sinis- ter in Its obscurity. At any rate, the Lantern was one-sided; it had a morbid bias towards gloom. Olivia Kahn in her editorial seems to feel that the Lantern is still one-sided. Humorous writing has been neglected, she says. As I grope about in the mists of mem- ory, I can remember reviewing the last Lantern (Commencement, 1940), so I have a good basis for odious comparisons. There was a humorous story in it by Isota Tuck- er and a story written in a'humor- ous style by Florence Newman. Both had elements of tragedy in them; they were, in short, true to life. Hence, they disproved to some extent Miss Kahn's rigid classification of Lantern material in "the serious mode." What great novelist ever wrote entirely in the serious mode? If the Lantern was one-sided it was not merely because it failed .to balance its serious bill of fare with humorous entrees, but because its editors thought in cate- gorical terms of serious vs. hu- morous. If Miss Kahn really means, let's have a few satires, she ought to come right out and say so, and then she would be better justified in ty- ing humor up in a neat separate package. Instead she implies that the reader must in every case either smile or weep, forgetting that in a single case, he can smile and weep alternately, or weep tnrough his laughter or smile through his tears. But I .chiefly disagree with Miss Kahn's state- ment that it is "harder to force the reader to smile than to weep." The reader who smiles at the New Yorker is not going to be tricked into weeping orer "portions of True Story or Cotmopolitan;" if

Session Chair(s):
Round table discussion on how current regional regulations are impacting the Latin American industry's performance in the global market. Topics to be discussed include the perception of volatility and unpredictability caused by local and regional regulations. Representatives from industry, ethics committees, a regulatory offi cial, patients, and CROs will provide the audience with their perspective on how current regulatory frameworks aff ect the region's sectoral growth and development.
Session to provide an overview on alliances and partnerships between regulatory bodies and private and educational institutions to foster capacity building educational programs in clinical research.
High level discussion on the challenges and opportunities for Ethics Committees in Latin America as they try to obtain a local or external validation of their standard operations procedures. This session will also provide an analysis on the current measures needed to be in compliance with those procedures.
The systematic collection, proper preservation and cellular and molecular characterization of biospecimens plays an increasingly important role in the understanding of clinical trial outcomes. This session describes the relevance of Biobanks in clinical research. Understanding how data obtained from biospecimens fosters the development of competitive clinical research.
Concurrent Session A: Regulatory Sites Inspection Experience
This session will discuss our proposed tool for the ethical monitoring of the investigator-research subject relationship in clinical research. This includes its elaboration, a discussion of the problem we are trying to approach, and the results we get after its utilization in diverse clinical research sites.
Drug efficacy and adverse drug reactions are usually dose-dependent and determine the clinical outcome of the administration of a particular drug. Personalized Medicine focuses on matching type and dosage according to individual genetic variation. This session will discuss the application of pharmacogenetics for volunteer selection on new drugs and bioequivalence clinical trials. In the case of bioequivalence studies, volunteer selection based on a specifi c metabolism type (fast, normal or slow) could provide more accurate trial results and clinical outcomes. The application of pharmacogenetics in Clinical Trials will be discussed.
Clinical Outsourcing to Latin America is a critical aspect of regional clinical development and growth, while it still remains unexplored for many global pharma, mid-size pharma, as well for Biotech companies. Ask people in the US or Western Europe about any given emerging market and you might hear one of two things – "It's a great place to do business" or "That market is so scary, I couldn't possibly work there."
This session is devoted to informing and educating the general public and patient advocates on the rights and responsibilities of the patients participating in Clinical Trials. NGO representatives, the Human Rights Ombudsman offi ce representative and COFEPRIS will discuss the importance of patients participating in Clinical Trials regardless of whether or not patients are assisted in a public health facility.
Session devoted to analyzing supply chain issues in Latin America, focusing on outlining the advantages of entering into emerging markets for clinical trials to save costs.• Identifying the different regulatory requirements for entering into new clinical hotspots to ensure shipments are fully prepared with all documentation• Establishing a strategy that takes into account the various time required for different countries at each stage of the clinical supply chain• Developing a flexible supply chain that can adapt to unprecedented obstacles• Forecasting any potential issues with QPs at each stage of the supply chain
Biosimilar products are emerging as an option of treatment. LA pharmaceutical companies are trying to introduce their products to the global market, however the clinical research process has not been clearly defi ned to guarantee safety. This session will provide an overview of experiences of regulatory guidelines in clinical evaluation of biosimilar products and how troubles have been solved. The aim of this session is to present and contrast the global experiences in clinical evaluation of biosimilar products and how LA clinical research can support pharmaceutical companies to evaluate their biosimilar products.
Risk-based Monitoring is becoming an essential educational need for both the industry and CROs as well as research sites. This session will provide a view on how Risk-based Monitoring is being approached in Latin America and how this element will become more frequent moving forward.
Gene therapy uses genes themselves and mechanisms to control their action to offer new therapeutic approaches for inherited, infectious, and neoplastic diseases, representing a new hope for curing current untreatable diseases. This session will describe the current status of gene therapy and the progress of bringing its promise into the clinical trials scenario and will provide an understanding of how a gene therapy clinical trial is performed.
Session devoted to analyzing and discussing multi-regional clinical research sites and will focus on the connecting of research sites to sponsors through new technologies tools.
This session aims to help create awareness among the general public of the paramount importance of improving the quality of the multiple training and learning initiatives in the region. This round table features the most distinguished training and courses to be developed in Latin America, including a comparison on the most traditional methods versus the most modern ones.
Concurrent Session H: Budget Negotiation and Hidden Costs for Research Sites in the LA Region
The pharmaceutical industry faces challenges related to communicating and managing medical information for a variety of health care providers or to patients/general public regarding the risks and benefi ts of its products. This communication can be provided by creating an innovative medical information contact center, which will help the Medical Science Liaisons fulfi ll their functions. This session will review the necessary elements to build a world-class medical information center, with a focus on technology, compliance issues, and staffing models.

Supply Chain and Information Systems
Supply Chain and Information Systems is a boundary-spanning field of study of supply chain networks, which organizations use to acquire, produce, and deliver goods and services all over the world. Our program integrates source (strategic procurement and supply management), make (manufacturing and service operations), deliver (demand fulfillment), and return (reverse logistics, recycle, and remanufacture) processes, along with information systems as the critical enabler of supply chain efficiencies and responsiveness. These core processes span traditional functional boundaries and encompass important activities such as information management; purchasing; inventory flow scheduling and control; logistics-production coordination; transportation systems operation and infrastructure; and customer service, order fulfillment, and distribution facilities management. Opportunities are also available for students to develop technical knowledge, skills, and abilities in the information systems (MIS) area.
Our faculty and graduate students actively pursue both theoretical and applied research, often collaborating with colleagues in other disciplines or in industry. Through involvement in research, extensive interaction with practicing executives, and continuous development of new teaching materials and processes, we strive to provide our students with leading-edge learning opportunities.

Diverticulitis occurs when small, bulging sacs or pouches that form on the inner wall of the intestine (diverticula) become inflamed or infected. Most often, these pouches are in the large intestine (colon).
The formation of pouches or sacs on the intestinal lining is called diverticulosis. It is found in more than half of Americans over age 60. However, no one knows exactly what causes the pouches to form.
Eating a low-fiber diet mostly made up of processed foods may be a cause. Constipation and hard stools are more likely when you do not eat enough fiber. Straining to pass stools increases the pressure in the colon or intestines, which may lead to the formation of these pouches.
Diverticulitis is caused by small pieces of stool (feces) that become trapped in these pouches, causing infection or inflammation.
People with diverticulosis often have no symptoms, but they may have bloating and cramping in the lower part of the belly. Rarely, they may notice blood in their stool or on toilet paper.
Symptoms of diverticulitis are more severe and often start suddenly, but they may become worse over a few days. They include:
Your health care provider will examine you. You may need blood tests to see if you have an infection.
Other tests that help diagnose diverticulitis may include:
The treatment of diverticulitis depends on how serious symptom are. Some people may need to be in the hospital, but most of the time the problem can be treated at home.
To help with the pain, your doctor may suggest that you:
The doctor may treat you with antibiotics.
After you are better, your doctor will suggest that you add more fiber to your diet. Eating more fiber can help prevent future attacks. If you have bloating or gas, reduce the amount of fiber you eat for a few days.
Once these pouches have formed, you will have them for life. Diverticulitis can return, but some health care providers think a high-fiber diet may lessen your chances of a recurrence.
Most often, this is a mild condition that responds well to treatment. Some people will have more than one attack of diverticulitis. Surgery may be needed in some cases. Many times, doctors will recommend that you have a colonoscopy after diverticulitis has healed.
More serious problems that may develop are:
Call your health care provider if symptoms of diverticulitis occur.
Also call if you have diverticulitis and:

I've mentioned before that I travel some on business. My business trips are usually pretty routine: catch a flight to some "exotic" destination, land and pickup a rental car, visit a customer or attend a Mentor Graphics meeting, spend the night in a hotel, eat fast food, then press the "repeat" button until it's time to go home. Sometimes I'm on the road for a quick day trip; sometimes I'm away from my office for a week of more. But the travel drill doesn't change much, no matter what city I'm in. Some people, my wife often included, think travelling on business must be huge amounts of fun. I think of it as just another workday, but in a different office. Occasionally getting out of the office is a good thing, but I've travelled enough in my career that it's become a pretty routine business exercise. On a recent trip, however, my routine was a bit interrupted – this time when I picked-up my rental car.
Of my routine travel activities, picking-up a rental car is probably the most interesting and potentially fun – it's the "car guy" in me. I never know what make and model of car I'll end-up with. Then there is always the routine list of questions at the rental counter, followed by the inevitable "Mr. Jensen, for an additional $5.00 per day, we can upgrade you to a larger, fancier car" upsell attempt. I'm 6 feet 6 inches tall, so I must be an easy mark for the "let's see if we can get this guy into a bigger, more expensive car". While I don't mind the question, I always refuse – but often get a courtesy upgrade anyway. Or sometimes I am renting at just the right time and end-up being assigned a fancier, upgraded car because the rental car company is out of the car I requested – all at the agreed upon smaller car price. It's almost like winning the lottery without buying a ticket.
On a recent trip to Mentor Graphics headquarters in Wilsonville, Oregon, I rented a mid-sized car. Rental car companies naturally supply cars at or near the current model year, and for this trip I was assigned a 2011 Nissan Altima. The rental car agent gave me my keys, or at least so I thought, and I was off to begin the driving portion of my trip. After throwing my luggage into the back seat and taking my customary walk around the car to make certain everything was in reasonable order (i.e. no serious damage), I jumped into the driver's seat to begin the 45 minute drive south on I-205. I took the car key (which later turned out to be a trunk-only key) and started looking in the usual places for the ignition switch: steering column, dashboard, etc. Only I couldn't find a key receptacle. I thought about going back to the rental counter to ask for help, but decided it wasn't the manly thing to do. I was, after all, an engineer and should be able to figure this out. I looked in the glove box hoping to find an owner's manual. Nothing. I was almost ready to give up when I noticed it…a round button, about the size of a Susan B. Anthony silver dollar, centered in the dash just to the left of the stereo console, and sporting an easily noticeable "Start" label. "Why not?" I thought, so I pushed the button. The dashboard sprang to life, but no sound from the engine compartment. I pushed the button again and more accessories turned on, but still nothing from the engine. So I tried pushing and holding the button, this time with success. The Altima's engine started and I was soon on my way.
I've since discovered the pushbutton Nissan is not new; the Start button is a regular fixture in recent model years. And I do remember driving a Toyota Prius several years ago with a similar button, and similar confusion for myself. But the Prius is a little different since it starts out in electric mode – cranking an internal combustion engine not required.
I'm not sure why engineers at Nissan decided to use the Start button in their standard, internal combustion Altima. Is there a design or system advantage? I don't know. But it is a pretty cool, even somewhat novel, feature. The lines between traditionally segregated automotive electrical and mechanical systems continue to be blurred, and I think for good reason. These two design disciplines are a natural fit, producing electromechnical systems with more possibilities than available with either standalone technology. The trick is getting the systems right, which starts at the design stage. Mixed-technology, multi-domain system simulation is key to successful, complex system development.
Pushbutton starters are certainly not new – my grandpa's old John Deere farming tractor (think mid-1900's vintage) used a pushbutton to engage the starter and start the engine. Finally adding pushbutton start to passenger cars seems a logical, if not long overdue, application. Just remember…if you can't find the traditional key-based ignition switch in your next rental car, just look for the Start button. With the age of the pushbutton car upon us, I expect to see more rental car Start buttons as I travel.

Lyon: Overview
Guida della destinazione
The second largest French city takes party of the resources it has, its geographical location, offering the best of nature and completing it in the best way that man can: With its architecture, gastronomy, art and entertainment.
Ever since it has always focused on the trade routes, Lyon took advantage of its privileged geographical position to grow not only in economic terms but also culturally, thus becoming a city where you can combine business with leisure but without disregarding either. It is true that there is much to see and do, but it is also true that everything is pretty close. No need to look far to find a restaurant, a garden or a concert hall. Even if what you need is not just around the corner, it is very easy to get there. As in other areas, the transport sector is also characterized by variety. There are over 120 bus routes, four subway lines, two funicular railways and two surface metro lines. There are also being developed policies to promote sustainable transport, which includes the increase in the number of bike lanes and bike rental stations. Although in other parts of the region of Rhone-Alps the climate can be harsh, the fact is that Lyon is located on the peninsula of Presqu'ile contributing to temperate seasons, with more than two thousand hours of sun exposure.

This week's issue of The Butler Collegian, Est. 1886 (Vol. 122,
Issue 16) has arrived on campus and just by looking at it, you would
think it was the National Enquirer and I was Britney Spears!
mean, I was all over that thing. You can find a nice color picture of
me on the front page, along with large pictures of me on pages two AND
three! Not to mention, there's an article about me and the blog on page
two by Butler student and managing editor, Bob Hermon. The headline
reads, "Butler Blue II rolls onto Internet with new blog." Nice!
to The Butler Collegian staff for the article and the face time. I
suppose it's fitting that I am a staple in the school/student
newspaper. Not just because I am the mascot, but it is The Collegian,
after all, that is essentially responsible for me being here. Well, in
a round-about sort of way.
and the university archives, prior to 1919, Butler's athletic teams
were known as the "Christians". But numerous losses in the 1919
football season caused Butler's followers to grow weary of the
nickname. During the week leading up to Butler's game with the heated
rival Franklin "Baptists", Butler Collegian editor Alex Cavins and his
staff, which included cartoonist George Dickson, decided something
"hot" must be conceived for the school's weekly pep session.
that time, the mascot of a Butler fraternity….. a bulldog named
Shimmy (you couldn't shake him), wandered into the Collegian office.
The idea was born. The next school paper came out with a big page-one
cartoon showing Shimmy the bulldog, labeled "Butler", taking a bite out
of the pants seat of a figure labeled John the Baptist. The caption was: "Bring on That Platter, Salome!" (Butler lost the game to Franklin, 14-0, but the name "Bulldogs stuck).
(pictured) moment on the The Life and Times of Butler Blue II…"and
know you know…….(long pause)…….the rest of the story."
the way, I'm guessing it's never good to reference a bulldog eating the
head of a prominent Biblical figure served on a platter by the person
who is considered to be responsible for that revered person's death.
Uh, I'm guessing that's why we lost the game. Something to keep in
mind, Collegian editors…let's stay away from the negative Biblical
references come March…okay?
president and senior, Loren Snyder was quoted in the story. He said
about my blog, "It's pretty entertaining sometimes. It's just funny to
imagine Blue II saying those things."
Loren?! What's so funny? Next time I see you, I'll say them to your
face! Then we'll see who's laughing! (just kidding)
information is confidential and top secret. So much so that I don't
know what I'm going to do with it. It's a big bone. It looks cool. I
want it. It's kind of like going to the Dollar Store and walking out
with stuff you'll never use or need. It was a dollar and it looked
cool. 'Nuff said.
his daughter and English Bulldog, Bella, has become "less demanding"
since our first date and that he'd like for us to give it another shot.
We'll see, Loren. We'll see.

In a study of 1679 women, Exposure to Light at Night (LAN) in the "Sleeping Habitat" is Significantly Associated with Breast Cancer Risk Itai Kloog, Boris A. Portnov, Hedy S. Rennert, and Abraham Haim Does the Modern Urbanized Sleeping Habitat Pose a Breast Cancer Risk?Chronobiology International, Feb. 2011, Vol. 28, No. 1 , Pages 76-80 Abstract: Due to its disruptive effects on circadian rhythms and sleep deprivation at night, shiftworking is currently recognized as a risk factor for breast cancer (BC). As revealed by the present analysis based on a comparative case-control study of 1679 women, exposure to light-at-night (LAN) in the "sleeping habitat" is significantly associated with BC risk (odds ratio [OR]=1.220, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.118–1.311; p<.001), controlling for education, ethnicity, fertility, and alcohol consumption. The novelty of the present research is that, to the best of the authors' knowledge, it is the first study to have identified an unequivocal positive association between bedroom-light intensity and BC risk. Thus, according to the results of the present study, not only should artificial light exposure in the working environment be considered as a potential risk factor for BC, but also LAN in the "sleeping habitat."

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Bethany Hicok, Westminster associate professor of English, was recently published in The Cambridge Companion to Elizabeth Bishop.
Hicok's essay "Becoming a Poet: From North to South" looks at the North American poet and world traveler Elizabeth Bishop's early years in the 1930s and 1940s and the impact of travel and place on her developing poetic aesthetic. Bishop was born in Massachusetts to a Canadian mother and an American father, and lived for extended periods of time in Boston, New York, Key West, Florida, and Brazil. Hicok argues in the essay that Bishop's movement from north to south and back again amounts to an important geographical, intellectual and aesthetic axis in her poetic development.
Hicok, who joined the Westminster faculty in 2001, earned an undergraduate degree from Russell Sage College and two master's degrees and Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. She is the author of Degrees of Freedom: American Women Poets and the Women's College, 1905-1955, and co-editor and contributing author of Elizabeth Bishop in the 21st Century: Reading the New Editions, a book of essays on Bishop. In addition to articles on Bishop, she has published articles on Marianne Moore, and Wallace Stevens, contributed chapters to three books, and delivered papers on American poetry at professional conferences.
Contact Hicok at 724-946-6349 or email for additional information.

+ Kudos to CVS!
Dear Editor:
Kudos to the staff of CVS. It could have closed the store's doors for a week to arrange for the move to the new store. Instead, they were open until 4 p.m. Saturday at the old store and were open at 7 a.m. Sunday in the new building.
Thank you to all of the staff and management of CVS for taking such good care of us here on Longboat Key.

+ Kudos for your guts
Dear Editor:
Kudos to you and your staff for having the guts to tell the truth about Barack Obama and his presidency.
John Paul II said, "Do not be afraid," and you certainly stepped up. The negative comments are simply rants from narrow-view individuals who support Socialism, Marxism or whatever you want to call it.
I went to see the latest Batman movie. It reminded me a lot of what Obama would like to see happen here: redistribution of wealth, hate against anyone with means, kangaroo courts and our own self-destruction. Wasn't he supposed to bring us together and lower unemployment?
The misguided people who challenged your article refuse to acknowledge that Obama's policies are out to destroy us as a nation.
I voted for Jack Kennedy and was a Democrat years ago. There is nothing wrong in being a Democrat, but my father and many others who died in World War II did not fight and die for their country to see it turned into a European welfare state like Obama wants.
I believe he purposely is out to destroy the greatest country on earth through economic and social division. His philosophy is not that of an old-line Democrat but that of a progressive Socialist.
I have never been active politically until I have seen what this current administration is attempting to do. It doesn't compromise; it uses bully tactics to get things passed by executive order, and its transparency is a joke.
This is a time I have never seen in America. I hope there are other people like myself who still love the country they were raised in and will wake up to what is going on.
As for withdrawing advertising, many of these Obama supporters should move to Washington, D.C., where they can be closer to their leader. Wake up in November.

+ He is 'anti-American'
Dear Editor:
After reading the negative responses to your "anti-American president" editorial, I am compelled to assure you there are thousands of us who support you and your right to express your opinion about our president.
I commend you for having the courage to state what you believe — a right guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Obama is the anti-American president. "Anti" means "against." He is against everything we have believed in for more than 200 years and which have made our country great. He sat under Rev. Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, listening to that minister tear down and rip apart his own country, constantly spewing vitriolic criticism on America. Sounds anti-American to me.
Anyone who truly loves his country and is a patriot could not have been able to listen to such talk week after week. He would have left that church, unable to bear hearing such despicable language.
Obama told us that the United States is the greatest country on earth, and then he asked us to help him change it. Sounds anti-American to me. Changing something that is so great?
He definitely is against America, its ideals and its exceptionalism.
Yes, Obama has a right to say those kinds of things, but so do you.
Funny how liberals can say whatever they want, and we have to tolerate their words. But let a conservative espouse his thoughts, and the liberals are enraged; they just can't stand to have anyone not agree with them. They do not practice the tolerance they preach.
Conservatives, let's make sure we patronize the advertisers who remain with the Observer and tell them so!
Everyone should respect an individual's right to express his own opinion, even when it disagrees with yours!
And that bit about "a call to arms." It is a rallying term and, in its less literal meaning, it is a call to action! I guess it means: No Obama in November!
Linda Langenger
+ Thanks for your courage
Dear Editor:
I believe it was Rocky Marciano who proclaimed, "You can tell when you've got guys hurt, 'cause they start flailing away, kind of crazy…"
Your criticism of the president and his style of government/leadership aroused that reaction in the readers who so scathingly attacked your criticism.
Thank you for being confident enough to print their angry letters.
I'm sure you noted, as many of your readers did, the irony inherent in their accusing you of being "hateful," "disrespectful" and "uncivil."
Your expression of your opinion was incendiary. You chose, as is your right, to have a strong, negative perception of a man who is diametrically opposed to many of the founders of this nation's government. Big government has never led any country to long-term success. With a sufficient number of eyes opened, and the grace of God, we can add another proponent of such socialist inclinations to the has-been file in November.
Thank you for the courage of your convictions and being willing to "take the heat."
Michael J. O'Loughlin
+ 'Call to arms'
Dear Editor:
I read your paper every Friday morning when it is delivered to my home. If you had a full daily paper, I would dump my subscription to the Sarasota Herald Tribune. One can only wish …
Anyway, your editorial about the "Anti-American President" was right on track. Perfect. Do not apologize, not even for using the term "a call to arms."
This presidential administration has proven time and time again it does not respect the U.S. Constitution (i.e., EPA being given powers that were denied them by Congress); does not respect our allies (i.e., the abhorrent treatment of Great Britain and Israel); and now has shown that it does not respect the people of this country (i.e., "you didn't build that").
Add it all up, it screams anti-American, despite the protestations to the contrary. Actions, as always, are more important, and more telling, than words. (Apologies to honest journalists like yourselves!)
It is unfortunate that great numbers of people in our wonderful country are more interested in popular culture (American Idol or whatever) than our historical culture and history. Add that to being brainwashed and herded like sheep by our "mainstream media," and without the drive to search for the truth themselves, our population is becoming more complacent about being driven into socialism like lemmings.
We need a "call to arms," a wakeup call or a kick in the pants to awaken the sleeping giant that is our country's largest asset — our pioneering, spirited, independent, self-sufficient, "I-can-do-it-myself" citizens of America!
"Land of the free," "home of the brave" are not just platitudes. Those words describe the country I was born into, not the one I inhabit now.
Let us answer the "call to arms" to preserve, protect and restore our country, our government and our people to our historic lofty purpose as a beacon of freedom, truth and the largest force for good ever known by humankind.
If we lose it now, what will our grandchildren think of us when they are in bondage to a tyrant? Oh, right, they won't know, because the government, the educators and the media won't let them know …
Susan Beckner
+ Patronize advertisers
Dear Editor:
I just got back from vacation and was catching up on my local papers. As a 60-year-old native of Siesta Key, I make a living in the medical industry. To say the least, in health care, military, budget balancing and many more areas, the federal government has failed miserably.
The current president is a true champion to this failing cause.
I am successful only by MY hard work and sales tenacity. The federal government under Barak Obama has done nothing but reduce the viability of my business and regulate it the point of absurdity.
I look forward to heavily patronizing all your vendors who stay with you. Keep up the good work.
Gary Howle
+ You're like 'FauxNews'
Dear Editor:
You certainly should have expected a lot of people would have been upset about your July 19 editorial, "The anti-American president."
The question is: Why give an opinion when the conventions have not even been held yet? What you did was open a can of worms for every fruitcake out there.
I have read The Observer for years and always considered it a good source of for local news. Now I have second thoughts. Why did you put yourself in the same category as FauxNews, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh? You had a good local weekly going, and now you have people turning against your paper and your advertisers.
I am truly disturbed and may join the "no longer a readers group."
Anthony Iannacone
+ Vengeance terrifying
Dear Editor:
Thank you for publishing the emails sent to your advertisers.
But you were too kind. Those writers seek not retribution but a form of vengeance as instructive as it is terrifying.
Not content with silencing opposing viewpoints, Obama supporters punish third parties for the affront of doing business with those whom they dislike. The liberal catechism replaces political discourse with the politics of punishment.
We have seen this behavior before. The former speaker of the House, among other liberals, tried to punish conservative talk radio by driving away advertisers. Barack Obama last year attempted to punish a disfavored news outlet by excluding it from a news interview of Obama executive-pay Czar, Kenneth Feinberg. But he failed.
The Observers fill a need and will succeed. Nonetheless, the politics of punishment is a disturbing pattern.
Punishment for speech always is alarming, but when practiced by those we elect, it is terrifying. These experiences are instructive for voters.
What kind of America would we choose for ourselves and our progeny? How comfortable are we with elected officials and their supporters who would punish those with opposing political views?
What does it say about the character of those who punish rather than debate because of something that was said?
This coming election truly will be the most important in our lifetime.

- A very interesting situation deserves your attention. This past week a Sand Cay owner sued and won a several hundred thousand dollar lawsuit in Federal Court in Tampa Florida. The suit? It was for negligence against the Board of Directors regarding the damage of their unit during construction. This owner had witnesses including current and past management. The testimony by Board members was blatant perjury at best. This is the same Board members accusing me of grand theft and fraud as their previous manager. Look into the case. You will see that I as well as others are victims of this Good ole boy system, and the truth will always set you free. My day in court is soon approaching and I guarantee you that after I clear my name, there will be many civil court dates to come. I really feel bad for the owners that had no idea and have supported the Board to this day. They have literally paid dearly. These people need to be stopped. At least I have the Federal Court that believed my testimony. The State and County are next. What a Shame!

- After three long years away, moving back to Sarasota was made complete when I found my first Observer Newspaper. It is one of the few papers in this country that doesn't coddle anyone. I like the straight forward reporting.
I came in this last issue to discover, as usual, that those who huff and puff demanding free speech once again only mean it should be free if it is in total agreement with their views. Hypocrisy at its best.
As for our current leadership, listen carefully to all allegations they make, then check what they do and you will find that they only accuse others of that which they themselves are guilty.
Reid says Romney doesn't pay taxes and it turns out Harry never put up his for review and although he's been working only in government all his life 'for the people' he seems to have acquire $10 million over the years. Could it be from the people's money?
Obama's Super Pac accuses Romney of murder and callously tossing people out of jobs without a thought. Proves not true, however, reading the health bill does show that eventually government figures will be deciding whether citizens here are too old, too frail, too imperfect for health services, which will, of course, be akin to murdering them in many cases. Then check out the number of jobs this president has made certain went overseas. As he put government in charge of private industry jobs disappeared from our shores. To add insult to injury, he tells other countries WE will be their best customers.
This is the Chicago Way - to destroy while withholding any semblance of the truth from the public. Obama and his minions have proven especially adept at it.
Keep telling the truth and speak it loud. Those of your readers that truly count will stick by your right to say your piece.

- I attended the Cat Depot 's event at Robarts arean Saturday. They pleaded with the public to help find homes for cats. I walked in and was stopped immediately by someone from the Cat Depot. She asked if I was serious about adopting a cat. I said I wouldln't be there if I wasn't. She said then I would have to sign adoption papers immediately. I said I wanted to see the cats first. She said I wasn't allowed to see them unless I signed adoption papers frist. Then she explained after I signed the papers I would HAVE to take a cat with me. Regarless. How can you pick a forever frend when it is forced upon you? The Cat Depot needs to re-think their policy.
