The Loyola Maroon VOL. XXIX, X-258 Loyola University, New Orleans, Friday, January 18, 1952 No. 13 Twenty Students Elected To Student Council '52 Group Has Sixteen New Faces Student Council elections for 1952 have been announced by Ed Tanner, chairman of the S.C. Election Committee. Twenty students were elected to fill the posts for two semesters. Three of these were chosen for the second consecutive year. They are Douglas Clause, Law president; Ralph Redmann, BA junior representative; and Marilyn Tassin, Music junior representative. Charles Dugas and Winkie Fox are the only two automatic holdovers from this year's council. Election for the Council officers will take place at the first meeting of next semester. Only members participate in this vote. The new Council follows: Arts and Sciences. President Louis Dudoussat; Junior Verna Satterlee, and Sophomores Pinky Vidacovich, Bill Mallette, Pat Mc- Carthy, and Angela Brady. Law School. President Douglas Clause, Junior Ken Watkins, Sophomores Joseph Mouton and Claude Riche. Business Administration. President A. J. Capritto, Junior Ralph Redmann, and Sophomores Ben Bridgeman and James Quaid. Music. President Louis Escobedo, Junior Marilyn Tassin and Sophomore Claude Boudreaux. Mild upsets were registered in the Law and Pharmacy races. Clause edged Rene Pastorek and Bill Redmann by a slim margin while the pharmacists chose Hambacher over Lee Mehrhoff, in what was expected to be a tight contest. In A&S and BA, elections ran true to form. Nominations favored Dudoussat and Capritto and the final balloting affirmed the preliminary vote. ./ ~ Catholic U. Drama Group to Perform Tulane Campus Player's Incorporated will present "Twelfth Night" and "School for Wives" at Dixon Hall, Tulane University, Jan. 25 and 26. This group is composed of graduates of the school of drama and speech of Catholic University of America. They have been on the road with these two plays since October and have played in Cincinnati, St. Louis, Washington, Baltimore, St. Paul, Minnenapolis, Kansas City, Chicago, Notre Dame, and many other cities. In New Orleans they are being sponsored by the Metropolitan Council of Catholic Women, who have asked Thespians to publicize the plays on the campus. The players are directed by Walter Kerr, author of the Broadway hit "Touch and Glow", and all have appeared at one time or another on Broadway. The two plays received many excellent reviews in their circuit of the country.Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night", a romantic comedy of mistaken identity and misplaced love, is familiar to Loyola students since the recent Thespian version. "School for Wives" by Moliere, a comedy of psychological action, tells the story of a young girl who marries an old man and her struggle to gain the upperhand in their marriage. Tickets are $1.50 for each performance and will be on sale at Werleins beginning January 15. Curtain time is 8:15 p.m. Will Lead Students During Coming Year NEWLY ELECTED SENIOR REPRESENTATIVES on the Loyola Student Council are: Presidents: (left to right) Douglas Clause, Law School; Louis Efcobedo, Music School; Joseph Hambacher, College of Pharmacy and A. J. Cnpritto, College of Business Administration. Missing from the picture is Louis Dudoussat, from the College of Arts and Sciences. German Club Sets Talk On Wagner The German Club will sponsor a lecture on the life and music of Richard Wagner to be given by Mr. James Steckel, A&S '51 graduate, on Thursday, January 17 at 7:30 in Marquette Auditorium.The lecture will be combined with some "f Wagner*! music on records. * Officers recently elected to lead the club for the coming year were Elwood Gonzales, president; Robert Stearns, secretary; and Frank Butel, treasurer. Easy-Does-It Attitude Wins Annual Frosh Moot Court for Arata, Schott by Cloe Huth Glib retorts, sharp sharking and an easy-does-it attitude brought victory to two future "Bar-tenders." Last Friday in the Moot Court Finals, Blake Arata and Pat Schott, counsel for the defendent, held their own against Charlie Kronlage and Pascal Calogero, legal advisers for the plaintiff. The case involved the rights of a party injured by a damaged bus shelter, when it collapsed after being hit in an accident. Arata prepared the briefs and Schott, the rebuttals. Fast talk is not a new line for Pat though. At Jesuit High he was a member of the Varsity Debating team and while passing through Loyola he's been president of the Edward Douglas White Debating Society as well as a member for the past four years. But Blake claims that up to now such things have been out of his line. He's an old track vet from Jesuit and has been a steady runner here since his freshman year. And as of 1949 the cinderman is also a letterman. Pat entered Loyola in 1947; Blake in 1948. The former enrolled in Arts and Sciences, receiving his AB in History last June. The latter is now working on a combined degree in BBA and Law. It's an old saying around the campus that "law is a jealous mistress."mistress." Law students alledgedly study from three to five hours per night. "That sure is true," says Pat. "Since I've been over here I've been forced to quit most of the organizations I used to belong to and my social life has been cut to a minimum. With working twenty-five hours a week on the side, the goings kinda rough, huh, Blake?" "It's not one of those sure thing courses," Arata added. "The amount of time it takes to keep up necessitated my giving up track. The atmosphere is more conductive to study than BA was. People here are more energetic and interesting, probably because they're older." Blake holds the highest average in freshman law class for the past semester. As the winners of the annual Moot Court, they will receive gold keys from the St. Thomas More Law Club on Award Night. KI.AKE ARATA (left) AND PATRICK SCHOTT, freshmen in the •chool of Law, were the winners of the Annual St. Thomas More Moot Court, held in Room D of the Law School last Friday. Schott and Arata were victorious over Charles Kronlage and Pascal Calogero in the court held before, Judge Paul Chasez and Attorneys Felicien Loses and James McGovern, Graduation Week Schedule Announced By Fr. Doyle One hundred-forty seven candidates are scheduled to graduate at Eleanor McMain Auditorium on Saturday, February 2 at 3:00 p.m., the Reverend Edward A. Doyle, S. J., Dean of Faculties, announced. Principal speaker for the occasion will be Hon. John J. Hearne, Ireland's ambassador to the United States. The final week of activity begins on Saturday, January 26, when the Board of Directors meet to pass on the candidates. Following this, at 11:00 a.m.. Father Doyle, Dean of Faculties, will meet with all candidates in Marquette Auditorium. On Sunday, January 27th the Seniors will attend a Baccalaureate Mass at 10:00 a.m. in the Holy Name of Jesus Church. The Most Reverend Wendelin J. Nold President Announces Carnival Holidays Monday, February 25 and Tuesday, February 26 (Mardi Gras) will be university-wide holidays, according to a special announcement yesterday by the Very Rev. Thomas J. Shields, S. J., Loyola President. February 11 Is Retreat Deadline Men students who have failed to sign up for retreats were urged to do so hefore February 11. If they fail to do so they will be placed in a retreat, according to the Rev. Harold Cooper, S. J., retreat director. The closed retreat at Manresa which was to be held January 31 through February 3 has been cancelled, he said. Students signed up for this retreat may make arrangements with Fr. Cooper for a new time. The only remaining Manresa retreat will be held March 13-16. One hundred and thirty-five students have signed up for this retreat, he said. *+ Med Techs Choose Laurie Coco Leader Laurie Coco was elected president of the Med Tech club. Other officers elected were Mary Rose D'Antoni, vice-president; Fran Coleman, secretary; Carolyn Kessels, treasurer; Evelyn Izumi, historian and Ronald Styron, sergeant-at-arms. The Med Tech banquet was held at Arnaud's Restaurant Monday night and the group's annual formal will be held tonight at 9 p.m. at the Arrow Room. NFCCS To Meet At Grand Coteau A meeting of the National Federation of Catholic College Students will take place February 3, at Grand Coteau, Louisiana, according to Norris Fitzmorris, senior delegate. Members from Loyola attending will be: Ida Chirieleison, newly elected junior delegate; Cloe Huth, Overseas Service Program chairman; Senior delegate Fitzmorris; and members Ed Kammerer, Bill Mallette, and Harry Lamy. Ursuline and Dominican colleges, and Xavier University, will each have six delegates attending the meet, Fitzmorris said. "Transportation to Grand Coteau will be made in the Loyola bus", he added. The council meeting will discuss future action of the NFCCS, and elections of officers for the next semester. (Continued on page 3) N.B. With a new semester almost upon m, it would be a good idea if the Book Store would make arrangements to sell "second hand" books when they run out of their supply of new ones. P. s. Thanks for fixing the cafeteria steps. Haven't taken a tumble since! ttetsJ tttJe. .

| Posted by Reid B. | (North Little Rock, AR)I ordered a color-matched N-FAB light bar for my 2007 Avalanche, and it took forever to come in. The sales rep told me it would take around two to three weeks to ship, and it ended up taking almost 5. But that's not CARiD's fault. The bar was built solidly and had nice welds, but it wasn't built to be a bolt-on part for me. I had to cut out some tabs that were rubbing my bumper. Also, the clear coat didn't fit completely smooth, there are a few spots here and there that are slightly bumpy. All in all, it is a great product, and now I have installed my lights, and they are so bright you can't even see the light bar.

The nutrient-packed avocado is often dismissed for its high fat content. Avocados do contain fat, but it is mostly the monounsaturated kind—which studies show may increase HDL (the "good") cholesterol and generally improve heart health. In addition, avocados contain many vitamins and minerals, and they're cholesterol-free.
The avocado is believed to have originated in Mexico and Central America thousands of years ago. Its exact ancestry is unknown, but anthropologists have confirmed that both the Incas and Aztecs cultivated and ate the fruit.
Today, hundreds of varieties of avocado exist. Avocados range in size from a few ounces to several pounds, and have skins which can be anywhere from bright green to black in color, and smooth to pebbly in texture. In the US, avocados are grown in California, Florida, and Hawaii. Each variety of avocado has its own distinct flavor.
No matter how you slice it, the avocado has plenty of health benefits. Here's a closer look at some of the nutrients found in avocados.
Note that avocados also contain:
Although they taste great and are good for you, avocados should be eaten in moderation, as part of a balanced diet. Because of the fat content, avocados are relatively high in calories. The recommended serving size is two tablespoons, or roughly one-fifth of an avocado (which provides about five grams of fat and 55 calories).
Selection— When purchasing avocados, look for fruits that are firm, heavy for their size, and bruise-free.
Preparation— Test for ripeness with a gentle squeeze. The fruit is ripe when it yields to gentle pressure but doesn't remain dented. A firm avocado will ripen in a few days sitting on a kitchen counter. To shorten the ripening time, put the avocado in a paper bag. Wash it before you eat it.
To cut an avocado, slice it lengthwise around the seed and rotate the halves to separate them. Lift the seed out with a spoon and then peel the fruit with a knife (or your fingers). Or, you can just scoop the fruit out with a spoon and eat it that way.
Storage— Cut avocados will turn brown. To minimize this, squeeze lemon or lime juice on the exposed area. When you next eat the avocado, simply scrape off the brown parts. Store the fruit in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in plastic food storage containers or covered in plastic wrap.
Uses— The avocado is not used simply to make guacamole (though most would agree that it is delicious that way). Avocados can be a healthy substitute for butter or cream cheese (on bread, toast, bagels or English muffins) and for other commonly used ingredients (e.g., sour cream). Avocados also go well in sushi rolls, soups, salads, and as a side dish.

"Trust needs to be rebuilt."
That's what German Chancellor Angela Merkel firmly asserted early Friday -- as she had the previous day -- in the wake of reports the U.S. National Security Agency had eavesdropped on her cell phone.
This claim and others that she and other world leaders have been spied on had "severely shaken" relationships between Europe and the United States, the German leader said.
"Obviously, words will not be sufficient," Merkel said in the wee hours Friday at a summit of European Union leaders. "True change is necessary."
Talk of the NSA's reported spying on Germany and other allies dominated Merkel's news conference in Brussels, Belgium. It illustrated the anger over this story in Europe and the challenges facing Washington because of it.
The Chancellor insisted she isn't the only one concerned; other European leaders, she said, voiced similar sentiments during the first day of the summit Thursday.
Her comments echoed some she'd made upon arriving Thursday in Belgium, when she said that discussions of "what sort of data protection do we need and what transparency is there" should now be on European leaders' agenda.
"We need trust,..." she said. "Spying among friends is never acceptable."
U.S. President Barack Obama understands it's a "necessity" for change from his nation's perspective, according to Merkel, who spoke with the American leader on Wednesday after Germany's government said it had information the United States might have monitored her phone.
She told Obama that eavesdropping among friends is "never acceptable, no matter in what situation," she said.
On Thursday, White House spokesman Jay Carney repeated what he said Wednesday -- that Obama assured Merkel that the United States is not monitoring and will not monitor her communications.
And in a USA Today op-ed published online Thursday night, Obama's homeland security and counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco conceded that recent "disclosures have created significant challenges in our relationships." To address them, the President has ordered a "review (of) our surveillance capabilities, including with our foreign partners," she wrote.
"We want to ensure we are collecting information because we need it and not because we can," said Monaco.
The German allegation comes in the same week that French daily newspaper Le Monde reported claims the NSA intercepted more than 70 million phone calls in France over 30 days.
And The Guardian newspaper -- citing a document obtained from U.S. government contractor-turned-whistleblower Edward Snowden -- reported Thursday that the NSA monitored phone conversations of 35 world leaders. The confidential memo is from 2006, which is before Obama became president. None of the monitored world leaders is identified.
The phone numbers were among 200 handed over to the NSA by a U.S. official, the memo states. Others were encouraged to share their "rolodexes" with the agency, according to the document, even though tracking until then had yielded "little reportable intelligence."
Like Carney, NSA spokeswoman Caitlin Haden refused "to comment publicly on every specific intelligence activity."
"As we have made clear," she added, "... the United States gathers foreign intelligence of the type gathered by all nations."
European leaders push for data protection
It's not clear how well such explanations will be received by Washington's allies in Europe elsewhere, or how significantly it has and will continue to affect the European Council meeting.
The two-day summit was supposed to focus on the digital economy and economic and social policy issues, as well as concerns about EU migration after a recent shipwreck off an Italian island in which hundreds of migrants from Africa died.
But French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told the French National Assembly on Tuesday that France would ask for the question of electronic surveillance to be added to the agenda.
The EU leaders were expected to discuss data protection issues as part of their debate on the digital economy.
Viviane Reding, vice president of the European Commission, called for EU nations to commit to adopting a data protection law in light of the recent spying scandals.
"Data protection must apply to everyone -- whether we are talking about citizens' e-mails or Angela Merkel's mobile phone," she said. "We now need big European rules to counter big fears of surveillance.

Data-Driven Libraries Part 2: Understanding Customers Through Segmentation Analytics
Customer segmentation studies and data analytics combines demographic data with lifestyle information to help public libraries better understand who their customers are and what services best meet the community's need, whether school-aged children or empty-nester couples. This type of GIS-based market segmentation can also help inform strategies around such initiatives as a levy ballot and also eliminate inefficient marketing efforts.
Data-Driven Libraries Part 3: Decoding Data to Plan for the Future
Data-driven decision making is creating large pools of data around which public libraries are trying to define everything from overarching strategies to granular collection development strategies. Although the analysis of this data is often left to third-parties, some libraries are taking the step of hiring their own data analysts to help administrators decide what the data means, why it matters, and how best to present it to other stakeholders.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
However, it all went wrong for England as Brian O'Driscoll and Tommy Bowe touched down to seal a comfortable win for the Irish.
England have started their 2013 RBS 6 Nations campaign with a 38-18 win against Scotland at Twickenham, with wing Ashton among the try scorers as he took his international total to 17, while Ireland ground out a surprise victory against Wales in Cardiff.
And Ashton insists Stuart Lancaster's England side that head to Dublin this weekend are a completely different beast from two years ago.
"We will go there in a completely different relaxed mood," said Ashton. "The Grand Slam game was tenser and quite a few young players at the time didn't know what to expect.
"Everyone was quite uptight. The whole changing room was a pretty different mood that time.
"There was a lot of pressure on us and it was always going to be hard that week going over to Ireland. This week we are going to be going over off the back of two good wins.
"Because of what Stu has done, the environment that is around us is completely different. Everyone is on the same level. Before it wasn't like that. The attitude of this team is 100 per cent different to what it was then as well."
Ben Youngs, who started at scrum half in 2011 in Dublin, echoed Ashton's comments.
"I can see what he means by that and he is exactly right," he said.
"You can't compare it to how it was back then. It's a different style of rugby we are playing due to new philosophies, and just the atmosphere is different.
"That comes from guys like [Joe] Launchbury, [Mako] Vunipola, [Joe] Marler, all these guys that are young and enthusiastic. I am pretty much like them, I am only 23.
"I'm keen to learn and be the best I can be. When you have a group of players who are all striving for the same thing and want to be the best in their position it can be a real powerful thing.
"There is a group of young and enthusiastic [players], and everyone is a top bloke and wants to work hard.
"Everyone is on the same page as the coaches, and the coaches know how to get the most out of the players. That blend is making the guys perform each week."

Counseling Psychology (Encyclopedia of Psychology)
An area of psychology which focuses on nurturing the development potential of relatively healthy individuals in all areas of their lives.
While the counseling psychologist may diagnose, assess, and treat adjustment difficulties, they often address problems which are more moderate than those encountered by the clinical psychologist. Clients of counseling psychologists are people who need help coping with the stresses of everyday life, and the focus is on strengthening their existing resources rather than overcoming disorders or deficits in particular areas. The counseling psychologist may use a number of tools in treating clients, including psychotherapy, workshops in such areas as assertiveness training or communications skills, and psychological assessments. These tests are used to measure a person's aptitudes, interests, or personality characteristics and provide feedback which can facilitate the counseling process. Clients may be treated individually, in group therapy, or in family groups, depending on the nature of the problems and the specialization of the counselor. In contrast to a clinical psychotherapist, the counseling psychologist may intervene in the client's immediate environment. Also, unlike traditional psychotherapy, the relationship between counselor and client may extend to situations outside the office...

Close to a billion people lack access to clean drinking water. We can help to lower that number this week by asking the U.S. Congress to pass the Water for the World Act.
The bipartisan legislation would make water and sanitation important pillars of America's foreign policy in developing countries, with the target of providing 100 million people with first-time access to safe and sustainable drinking water and sanitation by 2015.
But with only five cosponsors, the bill isn't receiving the attention needed for further congressional action. Please click here and sign the petition!

Al Gore spoke to CNN last Friday about the dangers of global warming and how exactly the suffering economy and global warming crisis is intertwined.

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a multiyear construction bill to devote $6.4 billion toward green school initiatives across the country.
Not yet passed by the Senate, the 21st Century Green High-Performing Public School Facilities Act would support thousands of new jobs, reduce energy consumption and create healthier, cleaner environments for schoolchildren.
With similar bills threatened by veto during the Bush administration, this has a much better chance of this coming to fruition with President Obama' s school improvement projects as an element of his economic stimulus initiative.

Editor's note: This is the first guest post from Max Gladwell. Our children will inherit a world profoundly changed by the combination of technology and humanity that is social media. They'll take for granted that their voices can be heard and that a social movement can be launched from their laptop. They'll take for granted that they are connected and interconnected with hundreds of millions of people at any given moment. And they'll take for granted that a black man is or was President of the United States. What's most profound is that these represent parts of a greater whole. They represent a shift in power from centralized institutions and organizations to the People they represent. It is the evolution of democracy by way of technology, and we are all better for it.

He went on record saying that the bill contained "very difficult standards which I, candidly, do not think are attainable."

Burn In Silence
Angel Maker
What I do not know is whether this CD is the result of the influence of a few of the best CDs I have heard over the last few years or if this is just a happy accident. I am referring to the rhythmic methods best illustrated by Devolved and The Amenta. Flayingly precise, heavily recorded death metal with a focus on rhythmic clarity and complexity. Whereas the two bands mentioned are slightly purer form of death with a hint of black, especially in the use of Amenta's keyboards, this band resides closer to the metalcore camp, from the hardcore shouted verses and flatly melodic chorii to the staccato style of guitar playing.
The guitars are all rhythm and run, showing very little riff. A few melodic leads here and there, but mostly standard metalcore thrashing. The keyboards are modern, standard video game inspired blandness, but they are not impeding, for the most part. It's the rhythms that set this group apart, giving them both an edge other bands in this genre lack and a kinship with the Vehemence method of true dramatic content in metal. The complexity of the timing offsets the sappiness of the metalcore basics, keeping the listener intrigued, at the very least. The clean vocals, in this context, actually work the way they did the first time you heard Fear Factory do it. They add interest instead of covering up a lack of ideas.
Musicianship is professional, and inspired, as though the band understands that they have a sound base, but that the real power has to come from the performance. With the kind of tightness this style requires, they still find a way to make it interesting and organic instead of clinical. The production is standard fare. The guitars could have been meatier, but then again that might have messed up the equilibrium that makes the percussiveness such a treat. In short, it serves the nature of the record well.
All this in not to say that you will find an epiphany here. This is, at its heart, a death/metalcore record. It's inclusion of the latest in rhythmic violence certainly raises it above it's bland brethren, but it does not qualify it to join the ranks of the bands mentioned earlier just yet. The band has to show us something particular to itself next time out, rather than showing us the best of it's contemporaries.
The bottom line is as complex as the timing of this album. I like this record, but I don't LOVE this record. I feel like it's almost a tribute to some of the best ideas of that last few years in metal, but I don't feel like the band itself is adding something to the mix. It has that potential, though, and perhaps that's reason enough to look into them. At worst this record is a damned good listen for fans of metalcore and the bands listed above. And I think even for the general metal public. There is power, ferocity and style. But I, the bastard critic, want more. This group has the tools and the ability to deliver.

(USA TODAY) -- Children can't enroll in school without a doctor's verification of good health, and many districts also require visits to dentists and eye doctors. The Newtown school massacre has focused attention on dealing with mental health. A key step should be adding mental health screenings to the list of required checkups.
Such screening is rarely done and represents a huge unmet need: Best estimates suggest that fewer than 2% of schools have a systematic mental health screening program.
Early diagnosis
Most perpetrators in a mass shooting suffered from mental illness that could have been identified at a young age. But spree killings are not the only reason to make such a change. Young people with undiagnosed mental illness are at higher risk of suicide, more likely to use drugs and alcohol, and twice as likely to drop out. Moreover, since the Columbine High School killings, two reports from the office of the U.S. Surgeon General have supported making mental health screenings of children routine.
Early social and emotional development is a robust predictor of future mental health and stability. Today, we have not only the skills but also reliable tools to help identify children - at very early ages - who might be at risk for mental health problems long before they erupt into debilitating illness and, though rarely, a dangerous crisis.
Then why don't we at least require a mental health checkup for all students nationwide, from preschool through college? Arguments against such a long overdue step are predictable:
Is it because mental health is a private matter? Mental health records are protected by patient privacy laws that are just as or more restrictive than laws covering medical records. These records remain private in all but the rarest, most at-risk cases, in which mental health professionals are convinced that someone is a danger to himself or others.
Is it because examining the mental health of children would interfere with families? Parents with serious reservations could withhold permission for their child's mental health checkup, just as sometimes occurs when parents refuse to get their children vaccinated.
Is it because children will be misdiagnosed and overmedicated? This could pose a slight risk, but the benefits outweigh the risks. Do we refrain from seeing a doctor for fear she might diagnose a non-existent illness? Maybe some people do, but most of us want a professional assessment of our health, no matter what we decide to do next.
Is it because children will be labeled and ostracized at school? Mental health records are private, so there is no access to any descriptions that could "label" a child. And school psychologists work hard to keep individual students and the student body as a whole functioning in the healthiest possible way - without labels.
Gun control isn't enough
In the wake of the Newtown massacre, we can and should debate gun control. But we need to do more.
We must rethink what's required to attend school. A child must be physically, mentally and behaviorally able to participate. If a mental health assessment suggests otherwise, we must have a system in place that offers help - long before a problem becomes a crisis.

The golf championships are drawing to a close, and New Albany girls and Ingomar boys participated in their state title matches earlier this week.
New Albany, East Union and Myrtle track competed in the north half championships last weekend. With the top four in each event advancing, these are the athletes that will compete in the state championships this weekend in Pearl.
The secret of who will take over the basketball programs at Myrtle is no more, as the school introduced Cliff Orman as the boys' and girls' head coach on Tuesday.
East Union was unable to hold on in its game three match-up at Hatley on Monday, falling to the Tigers, 7-6.
West Union never backed down in its quarterfinal appeance against Tupelo Christian Prep, taking the Eagles to three games before falling, 11-1, on Monday.
Two area coaches have received the honor of being named the best in their respective sports through the Mississippi Association of Coaches and the Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and Parks.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) is pleased to announce that Steven Aldridge, Sports Information Director at Union, Tenn., is the recipient of the 2012 Clarence "Ike" Pearson Award. The honor is named for the former statistical crew chief for the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship and is given annually to an outstanding NAIA Sports Information Director.
Ingomar golf picked up its second consecutive district title last week, and an added bonus gives the Falcons an advantage as they now look forward to state next week.
County softball teams saw their seasons come to an end on Saturday, falling in games versus Vardaman, Pine Grove and Smithville.
The effort has been there all season, but West Union coach Ashley Russell is starting to see his team back that up in their play. The Eagles swept their second opponent in as many weeks, advancing to the quarterfinals in 1A after defeating Thrasher last weekend.

LivePerson creates meaningful, real time customer connections that help businesses increase conversions and improve consumer experience.
Digital engagement is transforming customer service, and elevating the expectations of online and cross-channel shoppers. LivePerson interviewed 10 respected industry experts to help us evaluate oncoming trends and predictions for the coming year. This is the third post in our series, spotlighting insight from Gary Schwartz (@ImpactMobile), CEO of Impact Mobile, Chairman Emeritus of the Mobile Entertainment Forum (MEF) and author of Fast Shopper, Slow Store, on the rise of mobile marketing and ecommerce.
Last week saw a flurry of hype around the expected record numbers of shoppers going digital this year on Cyber Monday. Good news: the numbers are in, and consumers did not disappoint their favorite retailers. At figures north of $1.735 billion, some are calling it the biggest e-commerce spending day in US history. Not only did more consumers take to the internet and mobile devices to do their shopping, but here at LivePerson we also saw an important trend in behavior emerge as a growing number of consumers engaged with brands while shopping online.

So if I pay my violence tax then I should legally be able to get away with violence.
Don't own a gun, never needed to. Last time anyone used violence against me was over 20yrs ago, and even then I was able to put all three in hospital because I know unarmed combat. You're more likely to be shot by your own gun than by anyone elses strangely enough.
Quote:Preckwinkle's chief of staff, Kurt Summers, reportedly stated that the aim of the proposal was to curb the number of guns in circulation citing a report from last summer, which stated nearly one-third of the guns recovered on the Chicago's streets were purchased in suburban gun shops.

Justice in criminal prosecution
It is not only sexualised violence itself women in war and crisis zones experience from day to day, but they also see perpetrators being exempt from punishment. This equals denial of the very injustice committed. And even more than that: as it is often the women who are held responsible for the events, they risk isolation from society if they testify in court. It is only at the cost of silence and by relinquishing justice that many women, and in particular girls, have a chance to avoid being stigmatised.
War rapes were long considered collateral damage and remained unprosecuted. This changed only when the two UN Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda were established in 1993 and 1994 respectively. In several trials, rape was punished as a war crime, a crime against humanity and as genocide. Also the International Criminal Court, established in 2002, attaches great importance to the criminal prosecution of sexualised violence, as is expressed in its Statute. This was endorsed also by the German negotiating committee after consultations with, among others, medica mondiale.
Protection from violence
These unquestionable legal improvements, however, either remain irrelevant for most women and girls in current war and crisis zones or fuel hopes of justice that are later dashed. While the UN Security Council in June 2008 condemned the widespread or systematic use of sexualised violence in war in Resolution 1820, saying that it exacerbates conflicts and threatens world peace, charges of rape before the International Criminal Court are often merely attachments to indictments. They thus do not make a noticeable contribution against the withdrawal of social solidarity with victims of such violence. However, this very withdrawal of solidarity is the main reason that prevents survivors of rapes from fighting for their own rights and for compensation. Still only few women are willing to testify in court.
Once in court, female witnesses are faced with further problems: in order to protect themselves from acts of revenge and stigmatisation, they often make anonymous statements at their own request, but are later often threatened in their home villages because everyone there learned about their testimony all the same. During cross-examination, they are often exposed to demeaning questions, without prosecutors or judges intervening. Investigators use false promises to talk them into testifying. Only rarely are they informed about the progress or the outcome of the proceedings. Women and girls in northern Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo report that disrespectful and ignorant behaviour on the part of the staff of the International Criminal Court is quite common. As a general rule, all courts of justice are lacking comprehensive care for female witnesses; they receive neither psychosocial counselling nor medical treatment – quite unlike the perpetrators, who, for example, receive medication when they have an HIV infection, while the women infected through rape receive no care.
Our objectives
Survivors of sexualised violence in war must – similarly to other victims – be able to decide, free of any fears of stigmatisation, whether they want to testify in court. They must have the possibility to fight for their rights, for compensation or for indemnification proceedings in dignity without paying the price of social exclusion. It is only then that the term "justice" can at all be used in connection with rapes in war. This requires for legal professionals to change their ideas. When helping women to cope with sexualised violence in war, the withdrawal of social and cultural solidarity with rape victims as a repeated gender-specific human rights violation must no longer be ignored. Rather, it must be actively counteracted. This concerns both the definition of the crime itself, the rules of procedure, protective measures, sensitive treatment of female witnesses, and also the court's public statements and its priorities. Furthermore, it requires sexualised violence in war to be seen and prosecuted in its entire extent and its various functions. Often enough, charges are only obtained with considerable effort on the part of women's rights organisations – and are then frequently dropped by the prosecution. The immediate perpetrators must be held responsible in an equally consistent manner as those who, due to their political or military function, are responsible for or accept rapes or do not take effective countermeasures against them. Also Germany's legal authorities have a responsibility: the new Code of Crimes against International Law, which entered into force in 2002, subjects genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity to German jurisdiction even if no relations to Germany are apparent.
Sexualized violence as serious human rights violation
The so-called Foča Trial is of particular importance when it comes to prosecuting crimes of sexualised violence. It is named after the South Bosnian town and was the first to treat exclusively rapes, sexual mistreatment, torture and enslavement of women committed as of April 1992. In February 2001, the International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia assessed organised rape as "sexual enslavement" and a "crime against humanity". The three accused were sentenced to between 12 and 28 years of imprisonment for rape, sexual enslavement and torture. One year later, on 1st July 2002, a statute entered into force that forms the basis for the International Criminal Court. Also in this context, women's organisations fought for the gender-specific perspective to be anchored in the text. The legal basis created by the International Criminal Court can be regarded as a great improvement. Practical implementation, however, leaves a great deal to be improved, for law itself is not enough to create justice.
Our demands
- War rapists must be prosecuted in a consistent manner at national and international level.
- The aspect of social stigmatisation must be considered when legally examining sexualised violence.
- National and international criminal courts must develop investigation and indictment strategies that are appropriate to this crime.
- Public prosecutors and indicting authorities must set up separate offices with far-reaching authority to issue instructions and separate budgets for prosecution of sexualised violence in war.
- The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office in Germany must use its discretionary powers to carry out targeted investigations of perpetrators of sexualised violence as defined in the Code of Crimes against International Law.
- The rights of victims and witnesses to legal representation as guaranteed by the International Criminal Court must be financially secured.
- Women and girls having survived sexualised violence must be empowered in all respects in order to be able to make conscious decisions and remain in control of their role during legal proceedings.
- Female witnesses must be effectively protected against acts of revenge and threats and their right to privacy must be effectively safeguarded.
- Female witnesses must be granted a right to psychosocial and medical help.
- The entire staff of investigating authorities and courts must obtain continuous training with regard to individual and social consequences of sexualised violence in war and to the respectful treatment of former rape victims.
- Compensation mechanisms without demeaning verification procedures must be instituted at national and international level.
- The German Federal Government must advocate the establishment of an international documentation and information centre on the criminal prosecution of sexualised violence.

Perfectly cut, very solid. You only need five holes for this one, it is thicker and lays dead flat. Much better than the usual cheap plastic pick guards.
I bought a bakelite pick guard to replace the plastic one on my Fender AS Telecaster to solve static buildup and noise issues, which it does quite well. My only complaint is the the top 2 screw holes did not align correctly, so I had to try to get them aligned by widening the holes slightly.
I bought three, each fit the tele just a little bit differently. I had to fine tune around the control plate.
I learned that there are different 'types' of bakelite apparently. This one is a bit heavier and feels more like micarta (just feels that way ... I'm not saying that it is). But it fit dead-perfect on my Fender Tele and it lays really nice and flat, letting me go to a 5-screw mounting rather than 8 which fits better with the vintage look I wanted. I'll get another of these for an Esquire soon. What more can I say as endorsement?
Looks very good and material is excellent, fit a little bit tight on a Vintage style Fender Custom Shop Tele, but servicable.

MPs to quiz Cameron over Syria (From Salisbury Journal)

MPs to quiz Cameron over Syria
1:22am Wednesday 4th September 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
David Cameron faces a fresh grilling from MPs over Syria as the US moves closer to military strikes.
The Prime Minister has indicated he will not ask the Commons to vote again on direct action after his humiliating defeat last week. Instead, he has pledged to focus the Government's efforts on supplying humanitarian aid to those affected by the crisis.
However, Downing Street has refused to rule out seeking authorisation to supply weapons to rebels fighting Bashar Assad's regime.
MPs are likely to use the first Prime Minister's Questions session after the summer recess to challenge Mr Cameron on Britain's role if - as looks increasingly certain - the US Congress approves Barack Obama's plans for "limited" military reprisals. On Tuesday the US president secured backing from key Republican figures John Boehner and Eric Cantor.
Appearing before the senate committee on foreign relations, secretary of state John Kerry said Western allies such as Israel and Jordan were "one stiff breeze" away from being hit by any further chemical weapons attacks.
"This is not the time for armchair isolationism," Mr Kerry said. "This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter. Neither our country nor our conscience can afford the cost of silence. We have spoken up against unspeakable horror many times in the past. Now we must stand up and act."
Mr Kerry stressed that troops would not be deployed on the ground in Syria, adding that Mr Obama was "not asking America to go to war".
The president will attempt to rally other world leaders in support of US action at the G20 meeting in St Petersburg this week - though he is expected to receive short shrift from his host Vladimir Putin, a long-term backer of Assad. Syria is not on the formal agenda for the summit, but Downing Street has made clear that Mr Cameron expects to take part in discussions on the margins.
Asked about Mr Obama's proposal for "strengthening" the rebels, the premier's spokesman played down the prospect of holding a Commons vote on arming the rebels - but stopped short of ruling it out. "No decision has been made to do that (arm the rebels)," he said. "That has been the position for a very long time." The spokesman said last week's debate and vote "was very specifically a response to the August 21 chemical weapons attack".
On the eve of the G20 summit, Mr Putin warned that Western military action without United Nations backing would be an act of aggression. But he said he "doesn't exclude" Moscow voting in favour of a military response at the Security Council if evidence was produced proving the regime was behind the attack.
