One of the familiar errors in literary dialogue lies, in my view, in the use of the word "Dear" as a vocative.
Whenever I read in a recent novel a middle-aged couple saying "What do you want for lunch, dear?", I always think that the novelist hasn't actually listened to people talking for years, or perhaps ever. English has a general problem with natural-sounding vocatives, but "dear" went out in normal speech about the time when women wore hats before stepping out of doors, and everyone announced their number on picking up the phone.
So it has become an item in a kind of discourse parallel to reality, rather than continuous with it. To use "dear" as a vocative announces one of several things. One, that you are quoting something. Two, that you are making a linguistic gesture which could really best be described as camp, or ironic. (One Hoxton hipster to another: "Pop your pinny on, dear, and let's have a nice cup of tea.") Three, that you are writing quite a bad novel, or BBC2 sitcom.
When the Prime Minister said "Calm down, dear" to Angela Eagle in the middle of Prime Minister's Questions this week, he exposed a number of painful gaps in our knowledge of how to behave today. Do we even know any more what the proper way to speak to each other is, in any given setting?
The use of the phrase "Calm down, dear" seemed inappropriate in the setting, from that particular person, in two quite different ways. They each suggested a certain social anxiety. In a week when we were asked to consider our social structure in the theatrical setting of a royal wedding, those social anxieties might bear thinking about. On the one hand, the Labour Party rose up in indignation that someone might say "dear" to a woman – sexist and misogynist, it was said. On the other hand, Angela Eagle said only that she had "been patronised by better people than the Prime Minister", suggesting that she was used to it. But had the Labour Party been listening to the overtones in the Prime Minister's remark? Does he, seriously, ever say "dear" to a woman with the serious intention of patronising her? Or does his remark fall into my second category, of a camp linguistic gesture? There may be elderly men in Mr Cameron's party who say "dear" seriously to waitresses still – come to think of it, Mrs Thatcher used to say "Thatcher, dear" to me when I had the job of ticking her off on division sheets, which probably wasn't misogynist. But I doubt a man of David Cameron's age and class ever says "dear" without ironic intent.
Whether or not a prime minister should be making these camp ironic remarks while responding to questions in the House of Commons is another question. Another school of thought found a second, perpendicular fracture between role and speech in the Prime Minister's words. Should a prime minister be defending his august policy by explicitly quoting the slogan of an irritating insurance advert starring Mr Michael Winner? Is this the sort of thing that people are allowed to do, nowadays, if they are the prime minister answering serious questions?
Nobody really knows the answers to these questions any longer. One set of new principles is outraged on the one side, the one where we don't use quondam terms of affection for women we aren't that close to. On the other, some old principles of decorum and dignity have not quite disappeared, and are just as willing to be offended by aspects of modernity.
These questions have been described as trivial in the extreme, and not worth the acres of newsprint and discussion spent talking over them. But at a time when we are defining our modes of behaviour, we are always going to engage with great energy over the smallest issues. The match of propriety to role and setting is never decided over large issues of principle; they are decided, inch by inch, over words of address and presentation. Subsequently, people wonder why such tiny issues became so significant, while remaining blind to the tininess of their own issues.
Often, too, these issues are decided through an acting-out of assigned roles, or a refusal of those roles. David Kynaston, the historian of post-war Britain, has a nice vignette of a public schoolboy in 1945 calling out to a railway porter "My man", and being told: "No, all that is over now." That refusal of role and hierarchy was being played out, in one ironic and playful way, by the Prime Minister pretending to call Angela Eagle "dear".
In another, potentially more deadly serious, it was played out at one of those great theatrical statements of idealised society, the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. This, we are always told, is what the British do best. And indeed it is. A surprising amount of the pre-wedding discussion – in Britain, at least; it didn't much interest foreign commentators – focused on what guests were going to wear. Would the Prime Minister wear a lounge suit? Would his wife wear a hat? What – this became weirdly prominent – were Mr and Mrs David Beckham going to wear, since that was surely the new measure, not just of style, but of propriety?
In the end, Mr Cameron wore morning dress; Mrs Cameron wore no hat, but jewels in her hair; Mr Beckham wore his OBE with great conspicuousness on his tailcoat, though I could not tell you whether that is correct or not; and Mrs Beckham wore a kind of squiggle in front of her face which could only belong to Fashion.
Now, all of this may seem desperately trivial, but it indicates an ongoing anxiety about propriety, role and performance in the highest settings which suggests that we are just not very sure how to behave any more. And that is even in the most formal settings anybody is likely to encounter. All those little informalising gestures which have entered into society in the past 30 years have had a stressful effect on a large number of people. Calling strangers, colleagues and bosses by their first names; kissing on departure; expecting to stay in contact by telephone at all hours of the day and most of the night; dress-down Fridays and compulsory workplace banter – all these are examples of a society in stressful flux. I don't say they are all regrettable changes; we live in a much friendlier, more relaxed society than 30 years ago. But before rules of engagement and behaviour are properly formalised, we are going to go through a longish period when nobody is quite sure how they are supposed to behave.
What we can expect to see, at every level, are exactly those curious dramas, resting on single words or gestures, that we saw at Prime Minister's Questions this week. An outdated word is used flirtatiously, without serious intent, trying it out; a posture of insult is adopted; gestures of outrage by onlookers, discussion of propriety, and nothing much concluded, or so it seems. In short, while we are still deciding how it is that we are going to deal with each other, a certain amount of forbearance, a degree of a sense of humour might be called for.

Boy21by Matthew Quick
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
You can lose yourself in repetition--quiet your thoughts; I learned the value of this at a very young age.Basketball has always been an escape for Finley. He lives in broken-down Bellmont, a town ruled by the Irish mob, drugs, violence, and racially charged rivalries. At home, his dad works nights, and Finley is left to take care of his disabled grandfather alone. He's always dreamed of getting out someday, but until he can, putting on that number 21 jersey makes everything seem okay.
Russ has just moved to the neighborhood, and the life of this teen basketball phenom has been turned upside down by tragedy. Cut off from everyone he knows, he won't pick up a basketball, but answers only to the name Boy21--taken from his former jersey number.
As their final year of high school brings these two boys together, a unique friendship may turn out to be the answer they both need.
"High school senior Finley has always hoped that his basketball skills will help him escape the dead-end streets of Bellmont, a racially divided town outside Philadelphia, where his future seems bleak. As the only white guy on his school's basketball team, Finley is acutely aware of the uneasy relationship between Bellmont's substantial Irish- and African-American populations. Then Finley's coach introduces him to Russ, a black teenager who, ever since his parents were murdered, has retreated into a strange internal world, claiming to be an extraterrestrial known as Boy21. As Finley and Boy21's friendship slowly strengthens, they help each other change and grow; both boys attempt to understand past tragedies in their lives, as well as a new one involving Finley's girlfriend, Erin, which further disrupts Finley's understanding of the world. As in Sorta Like a Rock Star, Quick comes perilously close to overstuffing his story with offbeat characters and brutal twists of fate. Yet his emotionally raw tale retains a delicate sense of hope and optimism, making it a real gut punch of a read. Ages 12 — up. Agent: Douglas Stewart, Sterling Lord Literistic."

Vancouver Lions record maiden win in World Kabaddi League
It took four games and a great fight-back in the last two quarters from Vancouver Lions to record their maiden win in the inaugural Wave World Kabaddi League here Sunday.
Vancouver Lions beat United Singhs 57-53, in one of the closest matches of the league, to pick their first points and move up one place from the bottom of the table.
Gagandeep Singh Sabrawa was the main of the match as well as the Best Raider contributing 18 points to his team's kitty, while Sandeep Singh put up a valiant show for United Singhs with six stops.
United Singhs were narrowly ahead at 14-13 after the first quarter, but increased that to 29-24 at the midway stage, before the Vancouver Lions staged a remarkable comeback to snatch the lead at 40-39 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.
The visitors from Canada then managed to nose ahead 57-53 by the end for a huge morale-boosting win.
The four-point difference also equalled the record for the smallest margin of four points - Yo Yo Tigers beat Royals Kings by a similar difference 58-54 last week at the same venue.
United Singhs, who have now lost two games and won as many, have four points, while Khalsa Warriors lead the table with eight points.

Nottingham's Most Haunted
October 23, 2014 - 1:00am
How better to bring in Halloween than with a trip to one of the city's spookiest spots? The Galleries of Justice The former jail, police station and courtrooms in the city centre are said to be frequented by the ghosts of those hanged for crimes as small as theft. Reports of shadows, direct responses to questioning and terrifying groans and screams make it a must visit. Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem READ MORE
Will My Girly Voice Hold Me Back?
October 23, 2014 - 1:00am
Here's a demoralising piece of information for every ready-to-take-on-the-world female student reading this: You're a girl, and you sound like a girl, so no one will ever take you seriously. Get that? You have a feminine voice (how dare you!?) and will never succeed in your career. You're too screechy and high-pitched, which means you're less competent. Your naturally woman-like intonation is the barrier between you and the success you deserve. Or, at least, this was suggested to Monica Hanna, a litigator from New York City, by firm partners who listened to her presentations. Twice in the space of two years Hanna was told that her voice was too 'high' in the partners' feedback. READ MORE...
A Woman Looked Nice And Everyone Was Angry
October 22, 2014 - 11:22am
So, Renee Zellweger looks a little different then. After her appearance at Elle's 21st Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration on Monday night, lots of people have lots of stuff to say about one woman's face. Okay, so she doesn't look like Renee Zellweger as we remember her- gone is the girl-next-door look we all associate with her much-loved role as Bridget Jones. Instead, wait for it…oh, she's just a middle aged woman who looks pretty darn happy. READ MORE
The Pros and Cons of Living With Boys
October 22, 2014 - 1:00am
Opening the front door of my second year student home, I was greeted by the near hysterical shrieks of my new housemate Charlotte. "Well, I'm not touching them!", came the cry down the hallway. It's 5pm and, still reeling from a particularly traumatic seminar, I walk in to find my three female housemates gathered in the kitchen inspecting the floor with a look of horror upon their faces. Peering closer, I realise they are, in fact, staring at a mysterious, greyish garment. "What the --?" I begin, before realising said garment is actually a pair of male boxers. Boys underwear. In our spotless kitchen. Just to clarify, they didn't even look laundered. That, unfortunately for me, is the harsh reality of living with boys....

Why You Gotta Be So Rude? The 'Skinny Bitch' Song Debate
October 21, 2014 - 1:00am
Attitudes towards women's bodies have changed recently, and this has been reflected in all facets of the media. Gone are the days of 'heroin chic', spearheaded by the waif-like Kate Moss; nowadays, curves are something to be celebrated, with Kate Upton and Kim Kardashian possessing bodies that are the envy of women worldwide. Recent chart hits, such as Nicki Minaj's Anaconda, and Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass, revel in this new found celebration of curviness, rejoicing in their 'buns' and 'booties'. READ MORE
E-readers vs. Books: Has Technology Lost This Time?
October 20, 2014 - 1:00am
In an ever-increasing technological world it seems that many of our bookshelves are shrinking due to the rise of the e-reader. Although resistant at first to venture into the world of virtual libraries, I've found that owning a Kindle has had plenty of benefits. Many of the e-book versions of the required books for my English Literature modules were considerably cheaper than their print counterparts; plus, all of the classics are free which was perfect for my Romanticism and Victorian modules. Another useful aspect of my Kindle is that I can click on any word in the text and instantly a definition appears. And of course, the convenience of being able to carry round lots of books on one tiny device rather than lugging a heavy bag to and from campus is a...
Time For Change: Diet Culture And The Body Positive Movement
October 19, 2014 - 1:00am
Diet culture. Ugh - I wish this didn't exist. I wish I didn't know what a diet, detox or cleanse even is. Diet culture is mainly a female problem. It is very, very hard to find a uni girl who has never been on a restrictive diet before. I myself have been on loads. Low-carb, high-carb, Atkins, low-fat, low-sugar… The list goes on. I am now 21 years old and it took me years to get rid of the cultural expectations of female bodies, which had been burned into my mind for ages. READ MORE
8 Extremely Cute Animals To Help You Succeed At University

HC Investigates: UoN vs. Trent Rivalries
October 15, 2014 - 1:00am
Since joining university, I've been thrown into the notion that Trent are the enemy and they're significantly inferior to us. This has come in a variety of flavours: from the infamous chants (T-R-E-N-T you're gonna get a s**t degree being one of my personal favourites) to the varsity events (this also includes the bar crawls). But where does this all come from? It would be too difficult to pinpoint an exact point in the history of the two universities where a hatred for each other developed, however, if you take a look at other parts of the country, you can see that there's a host of similar relationships: Northumbria and Newcastle, De Montfort and Leicester, Man Met and Manchester, just to name a few. The question is, is this 'friendly' opposition a...

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah native and billionaire Earl Holding died Friday night, according to a spokesman from Sinclair Oil, one of Holding's many businesses. He was 86 years old.
Holding, whose given name is Robert Earl Holding, is the long-time owner of Sinclair Oil after buying the business in 1976. He has since built a business empire worth a reported $2.6 billion, according to Forbes, and is ranked by Forbes 400 as the 155th richest person in America.
"As an individual he was a lion of a man," said Clint Ensign, senior vice president of the Sinclair Companies. "We all had tremendous respect, admiration and love for both Mr. and Mrs. Holding. He just was a remarkable, rare individual and one of the brightest business minds that I've met."
Besides Sinclair Oil, Holding was the owner of Grand America and Little America hotels, the Westgate Hotel in San Diego, and two ski resorts — Sun Valley Idaho and Snowbasin near Ogden.
Holding is said to have been among the largest landowners in America, with some 400,000 acres across the West.
Holding attended the University of Utah and began his professional life as a civil engineer for the Bureau of Reclamation. He and his wife Carol were married in 1949 and together the couple raised three children.
Holding suffered a severe stroke in 2002, which left him partially paralyzed, though he continued to lead his organization for years.
The cause of his death has not yet been released, but Ensign said it was his understanding that Holding died as a result of old age and the lingering symptoms of his stroke.
Marty Carpenter, executive vice president of the Salt Lake Chamber, described Holding as a businessman who went beyond commercial success.
"This is a man who was so successful in business and so successful as a family man that this is a tremendous loss for our community," Carpenter said. "We've lost a great man who did a lot to enrich the lives of the people who live in our community."
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert also expressed his appreciation of Holding.
"Jeanette and I offer our heartfelt condolences to the family of Earl Holding, a Utah icon of initiative, industry and hospitality," he said. "May they find peace and comfort at this difficult time, as well as reassurance that Earl's profound contributions to the greater community will endure."

An ideal gap of two years between siblings improves academic achievements.
Ever sat fretting about what the ideal gap is between your first and second child? Well, a professor has released findings that a gap of two years has a measurably positive effect when it comes to the older sibling's academic achievements.His results make good sense: The longer a child is an only child, the more attention he will have from his parents, Time magazine has said.Kasey Buckles found that the older siblings of kids born more than two years apart score higher on math and reading tests than children born closer together.Conflicting adviceAll you have to do is mention you're considering having another baby, and the advice starts pouring in: some people recommend having kids close together so they can be playmates; others suggest spacing them out so that the older child is more independent and able to pitch in and help by the time an infant arrives on the scene."There's a lot of conventional wisdom out there about what is best, but there's not a lot of actual evidence about what is good for either parents or children," says Buckles. "This is a first piece of evidence that suggests a benefit to increasing the spacing between the siblings."One conclusive finding was that older children who have siblings spaced less than two years apart are read to less, and spend more time watching TV.How miscarriage can change thingsFurther evidence to back up Buckles' theory is that when miscarriage interrupts the introduction of a sibling, the increased gap also benefits the firstborn child.That's right: The study says that there's only an added benefit for the older sibling- the younger child isn't affected at all.Just in case you were wondering: Buckles is an economist, and undertook the research as part of a study into the ways in which people make decisions, and how the decisions they make affect their lives and the lives of others. He has two kids, born two years, two months and two weeks apart...What do you think is the biggest influence when it comes to gap between siblings?

When the blockbuster Avatar was released, 3D hype started to make inroads into homes. Ever since, the demand to view 3D movies or play 3D games at home has been growing. In this article, I investigate 3D solutions on Linux with the LG D2342P display in combination with the open source Bino [1] movie player, which you can integrate easily with an existing system (see the "Installation" box).

That's the ONE!
follow that green Grooovy Joovy…. that's the one!
with a $100 prize we'll get a the BabaSling baby carrier, seems to be the
best baby carrier ever.
My Joovy Big Caboose is the only stroller I found that could hold my daughter and twins who are all the same age for 40 days! In this picture we at the zoo for Mother's Day and even had room in the bottom for our picnic lunch! Best stroller EVER!
I am an American living in Berlin, Germany, (as of August 2011). I own your sit and stand stroller which I use for my 2 and 4 year old sons. I don't know what I would have done in this city without the stroller, as it has become my "car" to transport the boys to pre-school and around the city and my invaluable means of transporting my groceries from the store to my apartment. The stroller has traveled with us around Europe, and has traveled well on buses, trains, and trams.
I thought it worth mentioning, however, that I have people (mostly mothers) stop me in the street almost daily to ask where I got the stroller (or pram as they say here) and if they can write down or photo the stroller to see if they can purchase one. They are truly amazed at the concept of a sit and stand stroller, as the only options I've seen here are big and bulky double strollers with one seat over the other, obviously meant for smaller children, or flimsy detachable standing platforms that fit onto the backs of strollers. The area where we live in Berlin is called Prenzlauer Berg, and is known around the city and possibly throughout Germany as "baby central". It's literally full of young families and babies, and most of the stores around here cater to that clientele. Thanks again, and best wishes for many more satisfied customers!

You asked for it and we are delivering it: the new infant car seat adapters for the Joovy Zoom! These dandy attachments make the Zoom stroller functional from the first day baby comes home. The stroller can be used with a child up to 75 pounds! The Zoom Car Seat Adapter is available in three different models: one each for Chicco, Graco and Peg Perego infant seats. The Zoom 360 Car Seat Adapters use the car seat's existing latching mechanism and simply "click" into place. This is the ideal balance of simplicity and security. Additionally, the Zoom's compact fold works with the car seat adapter installed, making it a snap to use.
Make exercise a family outing earlier than ever before with the Zoom 360 and the new car seat adapters.

We just love hearing from our customers and consider everyone 'family' when they have a Joovy product. Here is a precious picture of two brothers and their new wheels and a message from their mom:
Hi Joovy! A big St Louis THANK YOU from two happy boys and their happy mom.
Joovy's generosity made this happy spring scene possible. Dan has the deep
recline and raised footrest he needs and Mac is a very happy "driver." thank
you so much!
Greetings from eastern Pennsylvania!
We are big advocates of your Zoom 360 jogging stroller hence we managed to convince each other to get them (instead of other great contenders out there; such as the BOB). Our experience has been very positive and we can't stop raving about them to our friends who inquire about jogging strollers. By far this is the BEST deal out on the market for a great quality product at an affordable mid-range price. If you ask us mamas what we love about the Joovy, we would say: "We love the price, we love the high bar handle, we love the real bike tires, we love the shocks, hence we love how smooth it rides, we love how it's easy to pack-up, we love the fun name. "

In this article I would like to look at a few tools which are overlooked when it comes to Big Data analytics. Organizations that have already heavy investment on Mainframe and would like to continue with the utilization of Mainframe can consider these tools for further expanding their Big Data Analytics reach.
DFSORT- Sorting & Merging Large Data Sets :
- Much before RDBMS have taken their place, Cobol programs have 2 major file manipulation operations namely:
- SORT operation accepts un-sequenced input and produces output in specified sequence
- The Merge operation compares records from two or more files and combines them in order
- DFSORT adds the ability to do faster and easier sorting, merging, copying, reporting and analysis of your business information, as well as versatile data handling at the record, fixed position/length or variable position/length field, and bit level.
- DFSORT is designed to optimize the efficiency and speed with which operations are completed through synergy with processor, device, and system features
- A Cobol program will typically act as a intermediary in handling the FILE inputs and passing them to DFSORT
- After all the input records have been passed to DFSORT, the sorting operation is executed. This operation arranges the entire set of records in the sequence specified by keys.
- Much like a SORT , MERGE statement is also called from a COBOL job
- The MERGE statement execution begins the MERGE processing. This operation compares keys with the records of the input files, and passes the sequenced records to create a MERGED output file
- As per the documentation from the vendor , there is no maximum number of keys which can support the needs for Big Data Analytics processing
- Some of the advanced options of DFSORT also facilitates parallel sort processing which goes well with needs of Big Data Analytics
- With the work loads of Big Data Analytical jobs can span multiple physical and virtual servers including mainframe, it is good to see that DFSORT has the option to sort records either in EBCDIC or ASCII or another collating sequence. This can result in uniformity of massively parallel sorting jobs if they run on heterogeneous systems
- The Job Control Language (JCL), which gives Hadoop like management of large file processing jobs in Mainframe have good features to specify multiple input and output file options for SORT and MERGE jobs
- As evident this article does not aim as a tutorial for DFSORT and various performance features can be looked from Mainframe manuals or can ask Mainframe Gurus in your organization.
- REXX (Restructured eXtended eXecutor) is another programming language that is used in the same eco system of Cobol and DFSORT and can considerably contribute to the Big Data Analytical needs of the enterprises
- REXX has advantages in string manipulation, Dynamic data typing, Storage Management and is generally considered to be very reliable and robust
- One of the most important strengths of REXX that is of relevance to Bigdata Analytics is its ''character string" handling ability.
- There are some useful string manipulation functions like COPIES (), WORDS(), STRIP(), TRANSLATE(), which can go a long way in the Map Reduce functionality needs of typical big data analytical jobs
- PARSE instruction is also used frequently in REXX programs. It is able to take strings from a number of sources and break them apart into constituent parts using a fairly natural notation
- Probably PARSE could be one of the highly useful feature of REXX in its positioning as a Big Data Analytical tool
- The REXX parse statement divides a source string into constituent parts and assigns these to symbols as directed by the governing parsing template
- REXX, DFSORT and Cobol programs can be inter operable such that we could call a REXX program from Cobol , and all these can be tied together with JCL
- Again this note is meant as a tutorial for REXX and lot of good documentation is available on utilizing the String manipulation features of REXX.
Summary : There is a strong need for enterprises to adopt Big Data Analytics and start mining the huge sets of unstructured data which has been ignored so far to arrive at meaningful business decisions. While newer frameworks like Hadoop or the new breed of analytical databases are going to satisfy this need, however enterprises should not be spending their time on picking up the tools and languages when it comes to Big Data Analytics.
If there is a significant investment and organization direction is to use the legacy platforms like Cobol, JCL, REXX, DFSORT it is only prudent to utilize best of their capabilities in arriving at options for Big Data Analytics.
We are seeing that Big Data Analytics is mainly dependent on Map / Reduce algorithms, these functions are aimed at crunching large data sets, like reading the input files and create key/value pair and map functions take these key/value pairs and generates another key/value pair. Further Reducer function also depends on sorted key/value pairs and iterate them and reduce the output further.
If we look at the way this logic works, there is a heavy need for sorting, merging, string manipulation and parsing all the way. Hence the tools mentioned above like DFSORT, REXX along with Cobol will likely to satisfy the Big Data needs of large enterprises if they have already invested on Mainframe compute capacity.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Urinal gaming system reaps award for IronPigs
The Lehigh Valley IronPigs have garnered another award--but not for anything that happened on the field.
The team's revolutionary urinal gaming system was chosen as the best in-game promotion in Minor League Baseball at this year's Minor League Baseball Promotional Seminar in Louisville, Ky.
"We knew these games would create a huge splash but we never could have imagined the amazing amount of recognition these games have received," said IronPigs General Manager Kurt Landes. "This publicity has allowed us to spread an important message to our fans about prostate cancer awareness, which is the second leading cause of cancer death in America, with our partner Lehigh Valley Health Network."
How does the game work? When a user approaches the urinal, the video console flips into gaming mode, using patented technology that detects both his presence and stream. Algorithms then allow the user to engage with the screen by aiming in different directions to test their agility and knowledge.
The game debuted at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown at the beginning of the 2013 season.
This marks the second "Golden Bobblehead" in club history, joining the 2011 selection for Best Non-Game Day promotion for the club's role in hosting Lehigh Valley Health Network's 15th annual black tie gala, Go Hog Wild at Nite Lites.
