The Anthony Gemma for Congress campaign continues to baffle.
Gemma, who is challenging Rep. David Cicilline in the Democratic primary in September, was on the Buddy Cianci radio show on WPRO one day last week but he didn't exactly sound like Mr. Democrat.
First Gemma said he would not support Cicilline in November if Cicilline beats him in the primary. O.K., that's understandable. He is running to kick Cicilline out for a variety of reasons, including his stated belief that Cicilline will lose if he goes up against Republican Brendan Doherty in the general election. So Gemma will write his own name in at the polls in November if he loses the primary; that's fair enough.
But then Gemma went on to hedge about whether he would support Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Jim Langevin, both Democrats, in their bids for re-election in November.
Asked point-blank if he supported his fellow Democrats to be re-elected, Gemma drew a laugh from Cianci when he said, "[Sen. Jack] Reed's not running, so yes, I support Reed," then he added that in the senate and 2nd District House race, "I would have to look at the person, that is the bottom line." A short time later, he said, "I'm not taking a stand on anyone else's race." So, if nothing else, we can say that party loyalty doesn't seem to be Gemma's first consideration in deciding whom to support.
Then he kept digging.
I am willing to give Gemma the benefit of the doubt that this was a slip of the tongue, because Cianci was grilling him pretty intensely, but this is exactly what Gemma said next: "I'm going to be honest with you; I'm very frustrated with Senator Whitehouse that he has not stepped up and done what is right for me." Whitehouse should have ignored the Democratic Party endorsement in order to do what is right for Anthony? He said that is what constituents want and are demanding, yet polls show Gemma lagging slightly behind Cicilline among Democrats.
Slip of the tongue or not, that statement reinforces the impression that some people have had since Gemma's first campaign two years ago that, even though he carries a "D" after his name, he is running as a Gemmacrat, not a Democrat. That is never helpful in a primary race.
Which probably explains why Gemma backtracked a short time later and announced that he would endorse Whitehouse and Langevin after all. Still, the damage was done and, as always, the first remark got much bigger play than the retraction.
Gemma's comments were so politically egregious and partisan-ly incorrect that they brought former Rep. Patrick Kennedy out of retirement to dump on him. Saying he is "deeply disappointed" by Gemma's comments, Kennedy added: "While there is so much at stake in this election: protecting Social Security and Medicare, health care reform, ending tax breaks for companies that are shipping American jobs overseas and stopping taxpayer subsidies for oil companies making billions in profits, it is critically important that we all continue supporting our fantastic federal delegation this year in Sen. Whitehouse and Reps. Langevin and Cicilline. This is about Rhode Island, not about each candidate, and I don't think Mr. Gemma understands this."
You don't want to go around campaigning in old folks' homes in the 1st District after Patrick Kennedy dumps on you like that. His name is still gold among the silver-hair set.
Gemma said at the outset of this year's race that he would look past Cicilline and concentrate on beating Doherty in November, but in his reluctance to embrace fellow Democrats, Gemma may be seen as dissing Democratic primary voters as well, which, if nothing else, is not good strategy.
"What's good for me is good for the party," is not a particularly convincing line from a relative newcomer with just one losing primary challenge under his belt.
n Speaking of running lousy political campaigns, what is the deal with President Barack Obama's re-election effort?
Four years ago, Obama was a juggernaut, coming seemingly out of nowhere to out-think, out-run and out-class the massive, experienced Hillary Clinton team in the primaries, then absolutely smoking Republican John McCain in the November election after serving in the Senate for just two-thirds of a term.
By revving up youth and minority voters – who tend to be spotty when it comes to actually showing up to vote – and communicating and raising money through social media and other non-traditional campaign tactics, the Obama campaign was hailed as a bunch of young political geniuses.
Well where are they now? Better question: Where have they been for the last entire four years? Since he first set foot in the Oval Office, Obama has been absolutely awful at the politics part of his job.
The president told CBS news that his biggest mistake as president was thinking that his job as chief executive "was just about getting the policy right." Well, what kind of naive babe in the woods is he?
That is why he is consistently having trouble gaining an advantage on an absolutely terrible campaigner, who seems like he wouldn't know a genuine human emotion if one walked up and kicked him in the shins and whose party's base doesn't know if they like him and are sure they don't trust him to be "reliably" conservative. Obama should be crushing Romney. It reminds me of a 1988 Saturday Night Live skit of a debate between Michael Dukakis and George H.W. Bush when Jon Lovitz as Dukakis stops, looks directly into the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy."
After nearly a couple of decades where tens of millions of people could not get health insurance coverage and many Americans who did have it couldn't say the name of their health insurer of HMO without using a few four-letter words before it, Obama ushers in comprehensive health care for nearly everybody — a program that doesn't allow insurance companies to reject you or your children because of pre-existing conditions, stops the practice of insurers dropping you because you get sick prevents them from slapping an annual or lifetime limit on your coverage, and allows parents to keep their children on their health policy until they turn 26 – and he allows the term Obamacare to become an epithet for a program despised by everybody, even those who say they like those provisions I just listed.
Obama should be running commercials – right now – listing all the virtues and benefits of the health care law and declaring how proud he is that it carries the name Obamacare. He should spend some of those billion of dollars his campaign is expected to raise, or get someone to form a super PAC specifically to sell the health care law as a boon to every American. He has to run these ads all across the country, in all 50 states, not just the "swing" or "battleground" states because he needs to create a critical mass nationwide that appreciates the benefits of the law, which most people still don't understand.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi got unfairly blasted for saying "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it," but she was exactly right. Hell, no congressman or senator knows exactly what is in all of those 2,400 pages of thick legislative language, so how is the general public supposed to know? If you rely on reporters to interpret such a complex issue, you are taking your chances.
As Pelosi meant to say, people are going to have to start living under the law and receiving its benefits before they say, "Hey, this is pretty good; this is what we have been crying for all these years!"
The health care law is supposed to be the signal achievement of his first term in office, but Obama barely brought it up in the nearly two years between when the law passed and the Supreme Court ruled it to be constitutional. The president is now starting to brag about it a little on the stump, but it may be too little, too late. As I said, a great number of people are already convinced that they don't like Obamacare, even though they like most of the things that are in it. It has become less than the sum of its parts.
If Obama can get Obamacare as a whole up to 55 or 60 percent in the polls, his re-election will be fairly secure. If not he could become that "One! Term! President!" that Michele Bachmann was always talking about during the primaries.

I love the overdyed rug look and was thrilled to find the color I wanted in a fiber that will be easy to clean when my grandchildren join us for dinner. I was concerned about the edges of this rug, but it is nicely bound and looks to be much more expensive than it is. I have only had it a few weeks, but see no signs of pilling or curling corners. I think it is stunning and highly recommend it.
I would buy this again in a heartbeat. Was not real sure that it would have enough Teal in it but it does, and works perfect with fabric I had bought to go with it in our master bedroom re-do. If I was going to put it down in anyway it would be that it is a little thin but, for the price it was a steal.
This teal and grey rug is just beautiful in person. The color is a little more saturated in person, but I thought this was a positive. We have a dog and 2 long-haired cats, and I'm happy to say that this rug doesn't show dirt or fur. Also, this rug doesn't shed at all. I've purchased some very nice rugs that have shed for weeks and weeks regardless of how many times I vacuumed. This carpet doesn't shed at all. It really is pretty and was very affordable.
This rug wasn't necessarily bad --- it is just not at all like it is pictured. It looks in the picture like it is dark teal with some lighter washed out areas of teal. Not the case. It actually has all kinds of colors and it is more like a colorful design. And the teal is not a pretty rich color like it looks. Overstock was great in their customer service regarding my return, but I wouldn't recommend this product if you are wanting it as pictured.
Beautiful rug at a great price! Great colors: Teal, turquoise, dark grey, a lighter grey and a hint of almost violet (but you have to really look to see it, it doesn't stand out as an accent color). Nicely bound edges also in teal. Not very thick so if you're using it for a living area do purchase a quality pad; since this is for my dining room I might not bother. Literally everywhere else I saw this rug (it's Sphinx Revival 500H2 FYI) in this size had it for $*** so this is a great deal!
This rug is just as pretty in real life as it is in the picture!
The color of this rug is beautiful but it will fall apart with every vacuuming. Its very thin to begin with and the fibers come up as blue hairballs every time I vacuum.
It is a really pretty rug - a much more vibrant color in person. Can't beat the quality and look for that price!
The rug is a beautiful color and it's pretty true to the description. I give it 4 stars because the fibers are a little cheap looking. It works great for me because I have it in my dining room but if you are looking for plush, this isn't it.
This is a perfect match under our mid century modern Lane Tuexedo dining set.

About the Series
This Bible study resource is part of the series of Pathway Bible Guides. This series aims to provide simple, straightforward Bible study material for:
- Christians who are new to studying the Bible (perhaps because they've been recently converted or because they have joined a Bible study group for the first time)
- Christians who find other studies (such as the Interactive Bible Studies) too much of a stretch
- groups with limited time for study
Accordingly, the studies have been designed to be short, straightforward and easy to use, with an uncomplicated vocabulary. At the same time, the series tries to do justice to the passages being studied, and to model good Bible-reading principles. The studies are simple without being simplistic; no-nonsense without being no-content.
The questions and answers assume a small group context, but can be easily adapted to suit different situations, such as individual study and one-to-one.

Difference between Unilateral tolerance and Bilateral tolerance
A unilateral tolerance is tolerance in which variation is permitted only in one direction from the specified direction.e.g. 1800 +0.000/-0.060
Bilateral tolerance is tolerance in which variation is permitted in both direction from the specified direction.e.g. 1800 +0.060/-0.060
Why we need two angle of projections ( 1st angle and 3rd angle)? Cant we standardize to one.
Generally 1 St. angle followed in India and 3rd angle projection is used in European countries. In 1st and 3rd angle projections there is no overlapping of principal planes while drawing side and top views. but in 2nd and 4th angle projections the principal planes are overlapped while drawing top and side views. It results confusion in drawing. For this reason 1st and 3rd angle projections are used commonly.
What is the difference between Corrective actions and preventive actions?
Corrective actions are taken on discrepancies noticed duringinspection of products/documents/process whereas preventiveactions are taken to eliminate the possibility ofdiscrepancy in future.

The Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP) was established as the National Association of Theatre Nurses, known as NATN, in 1964. It is a registered charity working to enhance skills and knowledge within operating departments, associated areas and sterile services departments. It aims to enhance the quality of care in the NHS and the independent sector throughout the UK.
In April 2005 NATN changed its name, structures and systems in recognition of the significant changes that were happening in the healthcare sector. The reference to theatre was regarded as too restrictive a name with many members working in associated perioperative environments The 'perioperative' emphasis was regarded as important to further accommodate the growing numbers of Operating Department Practitioners (ODPs) and Healthcare Support Workers (HSWs) who were previously not eligible for full membership.
AfPP also works to encourage the exchange of professional information between members and co-operation with other professional bodies. These include the Departments of Health, the Perioperative Care Collaborative, the Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting Advisory Committee (Scotland), the medical Royal Colleges, CNOs of all four member countries, Skills for Health and many of the British Safety Institution Committees and other groups set up to discuss specific issues.

Oprah Winfrey stirs Oscar buzz for 'fantastic' work in 'The Butler'
By Bill Zwecker May 8, 2013 10:51PM
Article Extras
Updated: June 10, 2013 1:15PM
Could Oprah Winfrey finally win an Oscar? The TV queen, who has not acted in a theatrical film since "Beloved" in 1998, had guests in New York at a very special, early screening of "The Butler" raving about her performance in the movie.
Two sources — neither one affiliated with Harvey Weinstein or his film company, which is behind "The Butler" — told me Wednesday that the television mogul is outstanding playing the wife of Forest Whitaker's title character.
"Oprah is fantastic," said one BZ spy. "Her performance is truly Oscar worthy."
Considering the movie will be released in October — timed for this year's awards season — "you know Harvey will really be campaigning hard for both Oprah and the movie," added a second source.
Winfrey was nominated for a best supporting Academy Award for her first acting role in "The Color Purple" in 1985.
This film is based on the true story of the late Eugene Allen, the White House head butler who served eight presidents between 1952 and 1986. According to my sources, Jane Fonda is also excellent playing Nancy Reagan, though both had a hard time accepting Robin Williams as Dwight Eisenhower. "Robin's acting is fine, but he just didn't seem to capture the look or mannerisms of Ike," said one observer.
LEGAL BRIEFS: Though attorneys for both Michael Jackson's estate and his mother Katherine Jackson are scoffing, choreographer Wade Robson, 30, has filed a lawsuit asking that his prior denials of abuse by Michael Jackson in the pop star's 2005 molestation trial be reversed. Robson now has asked the court to file a late claim against the late singer's estate and to seal an "unfiled complaint for childhood sexual abuse."
The Jackson estate lawyer, Howard Weitzman, has called Robson's claims both "outrageous and pathetic."
Robson, a well-known choreographer and producer who has worked with such stars as Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Demi Lovato, was one of the regular "sleepover" companions of Jackson in the late 1980s and early '90s.
† That March run-in between Rob Kardashian and a paparazzo is heading to court. Kardashian has been charged with battery and petty theft, both misdemeanors, after allegedly attacking the photographer and stealing her camera equipment. As his lawyer, Kardashian has hired a man well-known to his family: LegalZoom.com pitchman Robert Shapiro, O.J. Simpson's former attorney — as was Rob's late father, Robert Kardashian.
LOVEY DOVEY: After long dodging public confirmation they've been dating since co-starring in "The Rum Diary" in 2011, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have not only been spotted at concerts, restaurants and other very visible events — they have made no effort to hide their obvious affection for each other. It was Depp's infatuation with Heard that led him to end his 14-year relationship with French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his two children.
'GATSBY' GAB: A lot of the guests — especially the ladies — really got into the period mood of the 1920s for the Chicago premiere of Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" Monday night. After screening this latest big-screen take on F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic Jazz Age novel, guests partied-on at a post-screening fancy fete at Maxim's, organized by Margaret O'Connor — herself decked out in proper flapper attire and jewels. Among those spied getting into the Gatsby mood were Chicago Bear Henry Melton, ex-Bear James "Big Cat" Williams, Steve Traxler and Nathalie Lavoie, Arny Granat and Irene Michaels, Hazel and Warren Barr, Stanley Paul, Melissa Babcock, Toni Canada, Bunky Cushing, Nina Mariano, Sherrill Bodine and Dr. Michel O'Meara.
For the Maxim's party, Mamie Walton parked her replica of a vintage Ford phaeton out front. The car had been a 50th birthday gift from her late husband, Julius Walton, presented to Mamie as she exited her milestone birthday bash — also held at Maxim's back in the restaurant's heyday.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Congrats to Our Town's young restaurant stars RJ, Jerrod and Molly Melman, who have teamed up with Lettuce Entertain You chef/partner Jeff Mahin to expand their Stella Rossa Pizza Bar concept in Santa Monica, Calif. The sister operation, named Stella Barra Pizza Bar, launched Wednesday on Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood.
The Melman siblings, of course, have found great success their Chicago hometown, with such hits as their Hub 51, Sub 51, Paris Club, Studio Paris and RPM Italian operations.
† Chef Gaetano Ascione is offering a nice raffle prize to two lucky moms who attend his "Viva La Mamma" Mother's Day brunch this Sunday at Gioco restaurant. The winners will get to spend a day in the kitchen with Ascione, learning how to cook the kinds of Italian specialties the Naples native has served over the years, including to Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.
BIG MILESTONE: Veteran boxing promoter Bobby Hitz and his producing partner Frankie Rodriguez are thrilled their "Hitz Boxing" online show has surpassed 5 million cumulative views on YouTube since its launch last August. Hitz calls his program — which also stars the boxing operation's Renee Tedesco — an "actuality" show rather than a reality show, because they don't use any of the staging or editing stunts that frequently add drama to the many TV reality shows out there, but merely focus"on the lives of the people who work in the boxing industry."
SEEN ON THE SCENE: There were sports stars both past and present at Giordanos on Rush over the weekend, including Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, the Chicago Sky's Elena Delle Donne, Cubs pitcher Kevin Gregg and track and field legend Dick Fosbury, the creator of the "Fosbury Flip," the back-first high-jumping technique that won him a gold medal in that sport at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.

Fiction Craft: Beginnings and Endings
You're working on a fiction story, but it's not quite there. What absolutely must be in the first paragraphs? What must be in your ending? And how in the world do you decide? There are so many options, there's so much to say in a few words. The delicate balancing act of beginnings and endings is one of the most powerful tools in the fiction writer's toolbelt. We'll explore how master writers do it, and try some exercises to refine your own work. Bring a draft you are working on.
Memoir: Works in Progress
Memoir is the intimate art, and this class will create a community of support for refining works in progress and generating new material. You will learn craft techniques to help you structure your work, tell your deepest stories, and move toward completing a piece, whether for publication or family records.

Gwinnett (through Monday): 28
*Gwinnett statistics comprised of data from Gwinnett County Police Department; does not include crashes within municipal jurisdictions
LAWRENCEVILLE -- The heads of two state agencies spent Tuesday on a caravan, pushing their "Operation: Safe Holidays" in five separate cities and warning that Georgia is on pace for its first spike in traffic fatalities in more than half a decade.
In Gwinnett, though, all appears to be well.
The statewide total of 1,013 traffic deaths through Nov. 15 is well on its way to eclipsing last year's total of 1,226, officials predicted, which would mean the first increase since 2005.
"Already, we have surpassed where we were this time last year and we have not even entered the holiday season, our busiest traffic period of the year," Harris Blackwood, director of the Governor's Office for Highway Safety, said in a news release announcing the start of "Operation: Safe Holidays."
"We have to do everything in our power to hold that line and do everything in our power to make motorists pay attention to the deadly consequences of distracted and impaired driving and buckle up every trip, every time, from now until the end of the year."
Locally, the outlook is a little brighter.
Through Monday, the Gwinnett County Police Department reported 28 traffic fatalities in its jurisdiction this year. There's still the Thanksgiving and Christmas travel rushes to come, but, barring a disastrous final month-and-a-half, 2012 should see a marked decrease from the 43 deaths reported last year.
A small jump from 51 to 54 deaths between 2009 and 2010 aside, it would be the sixth straight year of decline.
Gwinnett County police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith threw out a few possible, speculative explanations for the decline -- improved roadways and intersections, newer and safer cars -- but said even members of the accident investigations unit couldn't put a finger on a concrete explanation.
"We don't have a real solid answer, unfortunately," Smith said.
Gwinnett traffic deaths have been steadily declining since 2006, which marked the end of a three-year period that saw an average of 81 fatalities per year.
Statistics compiled by Gwinnett County police detail only those reported in unincorporated areas of the county. Those handled by municipal police forces were not included.
In "Operation: Safe Holidays," the Georgia State Patrol and Governor's Office of Highway Safety are urging those across the state to not drive impaired, not speed and wear their seat belts. Nearly half of confirmed fatalities on Georgia's roads this year were people not wearing a seat belt, officials said.
"Wearing your seat belt is the most effective thing you can do to ensure you and your passengers arrive safely to your family's Thanksgiving celebration," Col. Mark McDonough, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Safety, said. "It's also an effective way to avoid getting stopped by law enforcement on your way home."

- Ga. traffic fatalities up from 2011 ( November 20, 2012 )
- Thanksgiving holiday travel results in 15 traffic-related deaths ( December 2, 2013 )
- Traffic fatalities in Georgia continue to decline ( December 25, 2011 )

I can't believe we have no explanation for the trending we see in this recent increase of traffic fatalities. All of these brilliant minds and the best we hear is improvements to our driving conditions?
Who was it, James Carville, who coined the phrase "it's the economy, stupid".
Take a look at the steady decreases in fatalities of the years shown in the article. Notice any parallels between our economy and the declining numbers? The housing industry-based economy was beginning to deflate in 2006, dropping even more steeply in 2008, the year that ended with a near-financial meltdown, then dropping the most in 2009 when you could hardly give your house away if you were trying to sell.
The remaining years have reflected the basic stability of a slowly improving economy, with this year actually beginning to indicate a return to higher death rates.
Simple fact - when the economy slows down, we slow down. Less jobs and opportunities to drive to, less miles driven.

Hockey: Crown Point advances to state; Munster falls short
By Tommy Williams Post-Tribune correspondent March 4, 2013 9:02PM
Updated: April 6, 2013 6:22AM
For Crown Point High hockey fans, it's business as usual.
For Munster fans, hey, you can't win everything.
With their 4-4 tie against South Bend Adams on Sunday afternoon, the Bulldogs clinched a birth in the 2A state championship at Notre Dame this weekend.
The Mustangs could not match their boys basketball team's sectional winning weekend by falling short of competing for their third state title after losing two of three games in the 4A semistate bracket.
The biggest goal of the weekend was scored by Crown Point's leading scorer Mitch Witham. It allowed the Bulldogs to tie their final game against Adams and clinch a trip to the state finals.
Crown Point coach Brent Giffin said that goalie Robert Mazzaro, freshman defenseman Joel O'Shea and senior back-liners Bill Benning and Hobey Baker Award-winner Brett Gilbert had standout weekends for Crown Point.
"Of the three teams I've taken there (to state), this was the team that no one expected to do this well," Giffen said. "To say that I'm proud would be a understatement."
Munster's undoing was penalties, including having to kill three five-on-three power plays in their first game, a 1-0 loss to Evansville.
"That's been something that's plagued us all season," said Munster coach Rick Rubino. "We tried to battle through it but it cost us games."
Munster's only weekend win came in on Saturday, a 5-2 win over South Stars Blue.

Putnam County man accused of having sex with 14-year-old girl
PUTNAM COUNTY, Ind. - A 20-year-old Putnam County man is accused of repeatedly having sex with a girl, beginning when she was 14.
The investigation began after the Putnam County Department of Child Services received a tip about the abuse of a now-15-year-old girl.
Police said Michael E. Fife, 20, of Reelsville, had sex with the girl several times, beginning last year, at various locations around Putnam County.
The girl also witnessed a sexual encounter involving other adults, police said.
Fife was arrested Tuesday night on preliminary charges of three counts of sexual misconduct with a minor and one count of disseminating obscene matter or performance to a minor.
Fife was being held at the Putnam County Jail with no bond.
Police said more arrests are possible.

Gate 88Download
Gate 88 sees you taking control of the head of the green army, locked to the death in a power struggle over the galaxy. Or maybe it doesn't. The game isn't too heavy on the story, so it's really up to the player to give a reason beyond "They shot at me".
Not that you're going to be worried with it. You'll be far too busy fending off the waves of red ships, sending your own ships to the red base, and dying. Your main objective is defending your base, and destroying the reds. This is performed mainly by creating friendly ships, who you order about in place of putting yourself on the line. Unfortunately, the reds have the same idea, and send in multiple ships to complete the job. You can place turrets, research weapons, and make and break alliances to achieve your aims. It's all very frenetic, and there's rarely a moment where you're just waiting for something to happen.
A word of warning though, the tutorial is by far the best option when you start, because the game has a large learning curve, and the menu navigation can be a little difficult to come to terms with.
Gate 88 has multiplayer support, but I wasn't able to test it because apparently nobody uses it. This is a pity, because the game is very obviously geared towards multiplayer. It's a shame that such a good game has such a small user base, but hopefully it'll pick up and online matches will become more plentiful.
Graphics-wise, the game is neither helped nor hindered by the animations. After an extended playing session the giant pixels start to strain your eyes, but for the most part it fits the games general feel. It's easy to tell the difference between your units and your enemies, and the buildings are distinct enough to know which of your enemies to target and which of yours need protection. The menu animations, however, are almost amazingly distracting, to the point where it feels like they're attempting to stop you from playing the game.
Audibly, the music complements the game, but starts grating after a while. The upgrade sounds and the notice sounds are particularly irritating, all the more so due to their frequency.
All up, it's an amazingly in-depth game, but one that suffers from a lack of players in the online mode. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone interested.

THE WILLIAM THOMAS DOVELL PRIZES IN ORATORY. Alumni members of the Board of Overseers have established two prizes, one of thirty dollars and one of twenty dollars, in memory of the late William Thomas Dovell, '88, upon the following conditions:
The prizes are awarded upon the basis of an oratorical contest to be held during Commencement week, provided that at least four contestants participate. The contest is open to members of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. The orations are limited to two thousand words. Contestants present their subjects to the head of the English Department for approval not later than the third Tuesday of February. If more than six contestants submit orations, they present them to the head of the English Department not later than April 15 for submission to a board of judges on thought and composition who select the six best orations for the Commencement contest. The judges on thought and on delivery are selected by a committee consisting of the President of the College and the heads of the departments of English and History. (1918)

Q. "Final volume of Oxford English Dictionary published after 44 years of research."
Coming with a high record for attainment in participation and coaching: of debate. Coach Angelo M. Pellegrini undertook the coaching of this activity here last fall. With a squad of men of whom only three had had previous inter-collegiate debating experience, Mr. Pellegrini developed his material to the point that Whitman teams were able to compete on equal terms with the experienced teams of other northwest colleges and universities. Much the same situation faced him with the women's debaters. His intensive work with the women's teams showed especially fine results. This fine training, of both men and women debaters, few of whom will be lost by graduation, should slow especially fine fruits in a successful season next year,
The Oregon system introduced by Mr. Pellegrini aroused considerable interest among those who attended the debates and possibly increased attendance at debates slightly. It perhaps robs debating of much of its formality, but stirs up more attention on the part of the audience, since it furnishes somewhat the thrill of an athletic contest. Few decision debates were held this year. The decision contest deprives debating of the quality which makes of debate an activity which gives the undergraduate mind an opportunity to focus and express itself on matters of great importance, according to Mr. Pelligrini. ln place of this attitude lie believes that it tends to cause debaters to resort to strategy and hypocrisy, where's effort should be made to arrive at a true decision on tile merits of the question rather than on the quality of speaking. In this connection Mr. Pelligrini has this to say: "The day of the contest debate seems to be definitely of the past, I returned, some weeks ago, from the conference of the Pacific Forensic League with this impression firm in my mind. I rejoice that it is so. In my estimation, debate has always transcended the questionable value of judgments. If debate has value, it is intrinsic and something totally unrelated to the decision which is seldom based upon definite standards. The purpose of debate is intelligent discussion of a proposition; its value is the training in critical analysis it affords the debater. The training in oral discourses is of secondary importance. "If this evaluation of debate is granted, it can hardly lie denied that the decision in debate has largely prostituted the purpose of debating. Intelligent discussion and the ambition to present an "air-tight" case are not easily compatible. Usually, where one prevails, the other suffers. We cannot develop a healthy, critical faculty, where the desire is not to present the approximate truth of a proposition, but rather, to present an argument that will drop pleasantly upon the ears of the arbiters. Where the argument advanced flirts with the decision of the judge, the whole performance becomes childish and sophomoric. The unpleasant state in which college debating; finds itself may be due, in part at least, to the decision. I am convinced that it is so. "Because of this conviction, whenever I have had the choice I have spurned the decision. It has been any ambition to extend the privilege of debating: to all who have shown the least promise in the art, rather than to concentrate on two or three who would he likely to win a decision. This policy, I believe, is the most consistent with the purposes of college debating."
Men's Varsity Debate
Five men's inter-collegiate debates, four of which were non-decision, were held during the debate season completed this spring. More debates were scheduled, hut due to unforeseen circumstances which arose, they could not he carried out. Carlisle Roberts, men's debate) manager, worked assiduously to arrange for good and interesting debates. Situations beyond his control caused the change in plans. This season's squad consisted of nine men who were chosen on the basis of a try-out earlv last fall: Kenneth Davis, Kalph Kaderton, Albert Garretson, Carlisle Hoberts, and Vernon Wilkinson and several others. Klise, Perry and Roberts, all juniors, were the only members of the squad who had before appeared in inter-collegiate debates for Whitman. A departure from precedent was made in putting two freshmen on tile squad, George and Hulser. Davis, Edgerton and Garretson are all sophomores.
Meeting a Washington State College team in
A debate trip to California for which
Roberts and Davis were picked to represent the college did not materialize
because of lack of finances. The coach and debaters realizing this, willingly canceled the plans. There is no reflection
on any one either here or in
Women's Varsity Debate
After a series of exhibition debates at near-by
high schools. Whitman opened the women's season with a triangular debate
against the
Katherine Bleakney Katherine Kiesling,
Hilda Gaylord Katherine Ogden.
Agnes dark, manager Ruth Blaine
Elma Proffitt Lola Sims
Inter-Class Debate
This series of intramural debates for the Hugh Elmer Brown Trophy, the principle forensic activity of the spring, attracted considerable interest among the three lower classes. The question, "Resolved: that inter-collegiate athletics should be abolished," was used in all of these debates. In these contests, the sophomore class was represented by Roy Lindman and Gordon Manser who were picked for the team from twelve sophomore candidates, through a series of elimination debates. They defended the championship won by the class of '31 last year. The frosh team, composed of Paul Boley and Kenneth Smith, was chosen by try-out. The Juniors who represented their class were Vernon Wilkinson and Fred McMillen. They won from the seniors by default.
The question used in the women's inter-class debates this year was one of unique interest; "Resolved: that the women of Whitman College should be allowed the same privileges of personal contact as the men." The freshman team was under the management of Margaret Rosenkranz and consisted of Mildred Martlia and Anita Bolev. Helen Gray and ltiitli Goss eclipsed the Sophomore team with Katherme Kiesling as manager and Jean Lovell and Clare Applegate represented the junior class. The senior class was not able to produce a team this year and so was forced to forfeit.
Pacific Forensic League
As a member of the Pacific Coast Forensic
League, Whitman sent three delegates to the annual meeting of this organization
held this year at the
John Brining Contest
The John Brining Extemporaneous Speaking Contest is held annually at Commencement, open to freshmen only, four boys and four girls are chosen by a series of elimination contests from the public speaking classes. The eight selected choose their subjects from a list made up by the English department, and are given three hours for the preparation of their speeches. The prizes were twenty and ten dollars and were won last year by Albert Garretson and Keith Ulaine. The contest is open to those interested in attending.
Dovell Contest
Each year prizes of thirty and twenty dollars are awarded to the winners of the William Thomas Dovell oratorical contest, open to sophomores, juniors and seniors. At a preliminary selection four participants are chosen on the basis of an oration given before three judges. From these candidates, who compete in the final contest during commencement week, the two prize winners are chosen. Last year lrmal Kennison and Stephen B. L. Penrose, Jr., won first and second prizes, respectively. As yet this year the participants have not been chosen, but from the amount of good material in evidence, competition promises to be keen.
Wrangler's Club
Frosh debates for the year were held under
the direction and management of the Wrangler's Club. Through this club a dual
debate was arranged for its freshman pledges with the state debate teams of
Leslie Anderson Ralph Edgerton Albert Garretson
Carter Bass Clark Emery Howard Pfirman
Wallace Davis Theodore Gaiser

The purpose of Ye Talke Shoppe is to encourage self-expression among women students. Tile aim is not to encourage more talking, but to encourage more aim in talking. Ye Talke Shoppe is limited to twenty members, selected by try-out. This year it sponsored all debates and speaking contests, and presented a short play in chapel. The charter was granted in 1928.

After the physical for the first sport, only a Sports Recertification Interval Health History form - HPE7(BOE7420F.1) is required for students who participate in additional sports throughout the year. Note that all athletes are required to recertify within 30 days of the start of their respective season.
These students must receive selective classification
Students must have a completed the Permission to administer medication in school - HM2 (BOE7513F) from their private physician with the completed SPORTS CANDIDATE HEALTH HISTORY - HPE 6 (BOE7420F) in order to attend a school physical or to be cleared with a private physical.
In accordance with New York State Education Law (see below), all student athletes must have a completed form by their own physician to self-administer any medication { i.e. Albuterol Inhaler} before they will be allowed to participate in any school sponsored sports. The completed form must be given to the school nurse before the student will be placed on the clearance list.
New York State Law Article 19- Medical and Health
S916. Pupils afflicted with asthma. The board of education or trustees of each school district and board of cooperative educational services shall allow pupils who have been diagnosed by a physician or other duly authorized health care provider with a severe asthmatic condition to carry and use a prescribed inhaler during the school day with the written permission of a physician or other duly authorized health care provider, and parental consent, based on such physician's or provider's determination that such pupil is subject to sudden asthmatic attacks severe enough to debilitate such pupil. A record of such permissions shall be maintained in the school office.
Shen offers a variety of interscholastic athletic opportunities for boys and girls. There are four levels of competition: Varsity, Junior Varsity, Freshman and Modified. The Freshman and Modified levels are only offered for certain sports.
The Varsity (V) level is primarily made up of juniors and seniors, though it is not uncommon to have exceptional underclassmen on a varsity team.
The Junior Varsity (JV) is mostly tenth graders but when there is no Freshman team available many JV programs will contain ninth graders.
The Freshman (F) level is comprised mainly of ninth grade students; however, younger students who are exceptional athletes may be Selectively Classified to compete at the Freshman level.
The Modified (M) level is a developmental program for younger athletes in eighth grade and some exceptional seventh graders. The athletes participating in a Modified program do not have to be Selectively Classified.
The fall season usually begins during the second week of August and lasts through October, although some playoffs such as football will continue until Thanksgiving.
The winter season usually begins in early November and continues through March.
The spring season generally runs from early March and
ends in early June.
The athletic trainer for all sports is Rick Knizek. He is located at High School East every day. Please contact Rick directly by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 881-0600 extension 61588 for questions or schedule information.
It is the belief that good sportsmanship on the part of spectators at high school athletic contests is as important as good sportsmanship on the part of the players. The following guidelines for spectator conduct are expected as a means of continuing and strengthening the ties that exist between competing schools. Spectators are encouraged to be actively involved in positive behaviors that promote enthusiastic support for our interscholastic teams. Spectators should cheer for our teams rather than against others. Discourteous or unsportsmanlike behaviors are unacceptable. No spectator should be involved in any of the following actions:
No one shall throw any object on to the playing surface. This action is equally dangerous to Shen athletes, other participants and spectators.
No one shall use unacceptable language when cheering or engage in any cheer that is demeaning to a team or an individual (players, coaches, referees, or other spectators)
No sound producing devices shall be used. This includes
horns of any type, whistles, drums, etc.

Justin Bieber Injures Ear Drum While Cliff Diving, May Need Surgery
Justin Bieber revealed to fans on Twitter today, Sept. 24, that he may need surgery as a result of injuring his ear drum while cliff diving.
Justin Bieber revealed to fans on Twitter today, Sept. 24, that he may need surgery as a result of injuring his ear drum while cliff diving.
Congratulations to Justin Bieber and Rihanna, the Hottest Stars of 2014!
Do you only have a minute? Here's a quick rundown of the top 10 entertainment news stories being talked about today.
Beliebers, it's time to "ooh" and "aah" over Justin Bieber and his many tattoos.
Try not to explode, Beliebers and Selenators -- but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have reportedly recorded a duet together!
If actor and Alzheimer's crusader Seth Rogen were filling out an imaginary application that asked questions about his music fandom, we can safely say he would not be checking off "Belieber" on any portion of said application. The actor spoke out (again!) about Justin Bieber, calling him obnoxious, among other choice adjectives.
The Jelena reunion rumor mill rages on. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were spotted this weekend in her native Texas multiple times. The on-off pair enjoyed some breakfast and shopping on Friday (March 7) and were not shy about their PDA, according to witnesses.
It sounds like Beliebers have a hard time keeping their hands to themselves! The Justin Bieber wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Times Square in NYC has been exiled to early retirement due to too much groping, which has compromised the look of the doppelganger.
Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance during Chris D'Elia's set at the Laugh Factory on Friday (Dec. 13).
The holiday season is here, which means a few things: eating, drinking and wearing embarrassing and ugly Christmas sweaters. Some people even host annual Ugly Christmas sweater parties.

For your paper, compare his assertion of a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws with Thoreau's refusal to pay taxes when he disapproved of the government's actions. That will make a good thesis.
