NBA@2: Chris Bosh a Game-time Decision
According to Erick Spoelstra of the Miami HEAT, forward Chris Bosh is a game-time decision for Tuesday night's Game 5 against the Boston Celtics.
The HEAT lost Bosh midway through Game 1 of their second-round series against the Indiana Pacers with an abdominal strain. He's been out indefinitely since but appears to be close to a return.
Miami lost their first two games vs. Indiana without Bosh before reeling off five in a row to close out the series and take a 2-0 edge over the Celtics. Since the series shifted to Boston, the Celtics have muscled out back-to-back wins to even the series.
In Miami, Bosh has had his ups and downs as the third option behind Dwyane Wade and LeBron James but he's a valuable piece that is badly missed. Through 5 1/2 postseason games Chris has averaged 14.7 points and 6.8 boards while shooting 51.7% from the field.
Even if he's nowhere near the heights of Wade/James offensively, it's difficult to fuel three dominant scorers over 48 minutes and Bosh has willingly adapted his game to the needs of the team.
With his steady face-up jumper, Bosh helps the HEAT spread the floor which opens up driving lanes for the team's two dynamic scorers.
It took everything the Celtics had to win Game 4 in Boston. A Wade three-pointer at the buzzer that didn't land nearly gave the HEAT a 3-1 lead returning home to Miami.
If Bosh can return and be made an impact, the Celtics will have a difficult time taking the series' lead.
Equally an abdominal strain can severely limit mobility. Can Chris fight against the physical Celtics?
So far this series both teams have won by double-digits and then closed out a tight one by four points or less.
LeBron has averaged 32.3 points, nine boards and 4.5 assists while shooting 51.6% from the field. Wade has put in 20.1 points per game with five boards and 5.3 assists while shooting 45.7% from the field.
Rajon Rondo has carried the Celtics, averaging 24 points, seven boards and 10.5 assists while shooting 54.1% from the field. In the Game 2 Boston loss, Rondo scored a career-high 44 points. Both Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce have been major factors, although Pierce has fouled out twice through four games.
As tremendous as the stars have been, it's going to be contributions from players like Mario Chalmers, Brandon Bass, Udonis Haslem, Mickael Pietrus and Shane Battier that will be the difference.
Ultimately the tipping point may still be Chris Bosh.
Bynum Option
The Lakers made an easy decision on Monday, picking up Andrew Bynum's $16.1 million option for the coming season.
Whether he proves to be the franchise center the team hopes he's already started to become or if they deal him for someone else, the option had to happen regardless.
If the LA had passed, Andrew would have become an unrestricted free agent and a lot of teams are expected to have cap room this summer. No option and Bynum would have had ample opportunity to walk, leaving the Lakers with nothing.
Now the team has multiple choices. They can trade him over the offseason or by the trade deadline. LA can either negotiate a long-term extension this summer or any time up through the June 30th, 2013 deadline.
Or the Lakers can let him hit free agency next July and either re-sign him, lose him to another team or execute a sign and trade.
Both parties expect extension talks to start later in the summer.
The Lakers have a number of difficult decisions ahead, notably with the looming graduated and repeater taxes. LA is also on hook for a dramatic increase in revenue sharing in the post-lockout/new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) era.
HOOPSWORLD recently broke down the issues facing the team (Where Do The Lakers Go From Here?).
Bynum now has seven seasons in the league. At $16.1 million, he's already over the maximum salary for a player with his experience.
The most the Lakers can give Bynum in an extension (kicking in for the 2013/14 NBA Season) would be $16.9 million in the first year and $54.5 million in total over three. Including his current year, the Lakers would have a four-year investment at $70.6 million in Bynum.
Teammate Kobe Bryant is scheduled to make $27.8 million and $30.5 million over the next two seasons. Assuming Bynum and the Lakers do agree to an extension, that's about $44 million and $47 million invested in just two players.
That's why Pau Gasol, at $19.0 million and $19.3 million, is the piece the Lakers look to trade. With Bynum's emergence, Gasol has fallen to third option on the team and that's just too much money under the new CBA.
From the outside, a contingent of Laker fans would like to see Bynum traded over Gasol. Andrew can come off as distant, aloof and immature (see J.J. Barea hit, three-point shot attempt benching, etc.).
Andrew struggled at times in the postseason with constant double-teams. He's still learning how to read them, often holding the ball too long and making ill-advised decisions. With players fronting and backing him, there were long stretches his teammates just couldn't get him the ball.
Coaching and execution aside, the Lakers just weren't quite built to support Bynum with the proper athletes and floor-spacers to give him room to operate.
Gasol is more of a post player than a stretch four and while over the regular season Pau had a steady high-post jump shot; it mostly disappeared in the postseason.
The Lakers are looking to reconfigure their team to fit modern-day economics and provide Bynum with outside shooters who will either make teams pay for doubling – or force teams to play straight up.
It will be interesting to see if the Lakers can actually get that done in time for next season.
In the background there's a notion that LA might consider a Dwight Howard for Bynum swap but it's unclear as of yet what the Orlando Magic intend, at least until they sign a general manager.
Howard is recovering from back surgery and the Lakers are fond enough of Bynum, despite what some fans may think, that an extension in LA is far more likely than a blockbuster deal with the Magic (or anyone really if Andrew is the bait).
The Lakers believe they have one of the top-two players at a position they hold sacred. The team's championship history has always been built around the big man whether it was George Mikan, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal or Gasol.
It's too early to say if Bynum is anywhere close to that list. He can boast more knee injuries than rings (two) but how many championships can Howard claim?
If the Lakers do invest long-term in Andrew, he will have a lot to live up to.
This past season he made major strides but he still has a long, long, long way to go.
The team option was just a natural step forward. An extension appears to be the next.

Sometimes the term Net Promoter can seem to get in the way of a really great idea - the idea that happiness is a business model; that the best way to grow your business is to make your customers smile.
Yes, smile. Forget for a moment arcane discussions about the metric itself or the corporate babble-speak around associated business processes. And look at Net Promoter for what it is; a business ethic that is based on the simple premise that doing business for good (delighting customers) is good for business (organic growth).
Take Chris Askew, from Lenovo who is up on stage now, talking about Lenovo's Customer Delight Program that has substantially increased the number of smiling customers (NPS up 16%) all whilst trimming costs by 15%. Chris' words could be those of the great philosopher John Stuart Mill, author of On Liberty, and who developed "the greatest happiness principle" - that when faced with a choice, we must first consider the likely consequences of potential actions and, from that, choose to do what we believe will generate most pleasure. This is the moral code that Lenovo follows - and as a result Lenovo is growing their business by making customers happy, and receiving some 39,000 gifts per month from happy Lenovo users. And it is also this moral code (utilitarianism if you want a label) of maximizing customer happiness that is at the heart of Net Promoter.
So, take the cue from Lenovo if you want a cocktail party version of what Net Promoter is all about - it's about making happiness your business model.

Our first stop on the trip is Norman Island, where we will anchor for the night at The Bight.
Norman Island is famed for its tales of buried treasure, but the caves off Treasure Point offer a different type of booty for snorkelers. Norman Island has been made famous from the 1883 classic story "Treasure Island" which was written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
A short ride from the Bight, we plan to pick up a National Parks mooring in the morning and snorkel our way over to The Caves.
This is a spectacular snorkeling adventure, with thousands of orange cup coral and red sponge covering the cave walls. The island is equipped with three caves – two large ones and a small one.
Schools of friendly yellow tails, blue tangs and sergeant majors will follow you into the caves
On the entrance into the larger cave in the cent photo above, the walls are covered with cup corals and sea urchins abound just below…
A few years ago, we entered the second of the caves you see above to discover we could swim right through it and come out just about where you see that sandy beach by the yacht at the top of the photo. Bring a flashlight to truly experience the Caves, which shimmer with a pastel coating of orange cup coral and red covering sponge.
A fun way to spend a couple of hours.

We have a potential client who has offices around the world. What they are looking to do is to create a super-site, so that each country has its own site but it's actually part of the whole organisation, the super-site.
Each country site may have content different to another country, different user/access structure and also different languages. eg. Italian site may be in Italian and German and Chinese site is in Mandarin, Cantonese and English.
With that in mind we are looking either for a solution CMS or a more static-tool which may be able to do the job easily. Which tool would you recommend? Please note that we're only interested in solutions which are available at a one-off cost, ideally a low one too.
Well, most of the branded solutions in the market would be quite expensive and won't offer the kind of flexibility you are looking for. The best bet would be to use an open source and customize it as per your needs. In my prior job, we end up creating our own in-house CMS solutions to tackle these kind of problems. Definetely the time to market would be quite higher, and it will take time to productize the solution but, in the long run will offer you lot of flexibility and potential to extend across different ecommerce platforms.

Dr David Wyatt
- D. R. Wyatt Slaves and Warriors in Medieval Britain and Ireland, 800-1200 (Brill, Leiden; Boston, 2009)
Modern ideas and sensibilities have clouded historical views of slavery, perhaps, more so than any other medieval social institution. In particular, anachronistic economic rationales and notions about the progressive nature of Western European civilisation have distorted our view of slavery in the medieval context. As a result medieval historians have, all too often, focussed their efforts upon explaining the disappearance of this medieval institution rather than seeking to understand it. Yet, when historians attempt to explain away slavery in this manner they fail to realise the vital importance of the institution for the societies of medieval Britain.
The purpose of this monograph is to highlight the extreme social and cultural significance of slavery for those societies. The analysis does not focus upon economic conditions or even, necessarily, upon the plight of the slave. Rather, it concentrates upon the lifestyle, attitudes and motivations of the slave-holders and the slave-raiders in these warrior-centred communities. Through the employment of comparative anthropological perspectives this study explores the violent activities and behavioural codes of Britain's war bands and illustrates the importance of slave raiding/holding for the establishment of power, identity and notions of manhood. In particular, it highlights how the rape, abduction and enslavement of women constituted powerfully symbolic acts for societies which equated prowess, prestige and honour very much with female protection and guardianship. Indeed, one problematic result of the continuing focus on medieval slavery as a means of economic production is that this has ensured an unhelpfully narrow research focus concentrating on male slaves involved in agricultural production. Yet, the majority of slaves in the medieval period would, most likely, have been females living and toiling in the domestic sphere and this is highly significant. Furthermore, this book highlights, more generally, how the dichotomy between slavery and freedom was fundamentally important for defining social hierarchy within the medieval communities of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

I send my sympathies to his family. How I wish he had been on the Supreme Court. The world has lost a giant, who is now in a much better place than Ted Kennedy who wishes he had ice water.Rest in Peace, Judge Bork.
A fine tribute to a great man.
What a nice tribute. I´m sure RB will be a sought-after guest at Heaven´s Dinner Party.
A giant among judges who was denigrated by far lesser men. He never said anything about it in public as far as I know - he just kept writing, and proving himself to be far above them in intellect, temperament and courage. Rest in peace, sir.
It definitely was America´s loss that we stood by and let this man be trashed and denied a seat on our Court by such men as Ted Kennedy.
"Greetings, St. Peter. Where is Senator Kennedy? He certainly gave me a hard time...Oh. Well, I guess I won´t be seeing him after all."
It´s ironic that it was the liberals led by Joe Biden in the US Senate who kept Judge Bork off the US Supreme Court. If Judge Bork had got on the court, President Obama would be swinging into action right now to nominate another liberal to serve on the court, and you can bet that the wimpy Republicans would be please as punch to send her on her way to the court.
America´s loss!
Agree #8
What should have been. RIP.
Well said, #4. The treatment of Judge Bork, by lesser men, was so despicable that his name is listed in the dictionary as a verb defining such savage treatment. One more example of what is wrong with America today.bork - verb (used with object)to attack (a candidate or public figure) systematically, especially in the media.Origin:1988, Americanism; after Judge Robert H. Bork, whose appointment to the Supreme Court was blocked in 1987 after an extensive media campaign by his opponents.bork - 1987, "to discredit a candidate for some position by savaging his or her career and beliefs," from name of U.S. jurist Robert H. Bork (b.1927), whose Supreme Court nomination in 1987 was rejected after an intense counter-campaign.Sincere condolences to his family.
As with Ms.Lucy´s gang around here....a great mind finds it´s best expression in the brevity of wit.This fine man was crucified on the cross of corrupt and virulent liberalism and anyone who watched those hearings knows it.He truly suffered the ´slings and arrows of outrageous fortune´.I would not have done as well.
He was such a greaty man. Condolences to his family m& friends.It was the way that the dem pols so disrespected him that confirmed my view of the horrible lengths that the lefty dem pols will go to in order to marginalize people of accomplishment, ethics and obvious merit for the most responsible jobs in our Government.The statist dems always attack the best and brightest who have so much to offer in public service. The dems are, for the most part, in charge of the policy dec ision making inside the beltway right now and look at the mess they make of EVERYTHING!The Clintons(D) were once Borks students in Law School, as I recall, and so they knew his exemplary qualifications yet they did not support him. ...Apparently he was too personally ethical, legally brilliant, certainly kind and witty for them?

Marconi was created by Hermann Zapf in 1973. Zapf's design was developed as a text face for books and magazines. The round forms of the Marconi follow the principle of the superellipse. The lowercase letters are enlarged as the result of reading tests, while the capital letters are slightly reduced. The 8-point size — normally used for newspapers — looks more like 9 1/2 points.
Marconi is a legible typeface with its large and open lowercase letters. It is ideal for long text blocks in newspaper, book, and magazine production.

Launch Party Set for Legendary Detroit Bar
DETROIT, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Organizers of a new Detroit Press Club plan to host the club's first event Oct. 16 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Anchor Bar, 450 W. Fort St., Detroit.
Journalists and those who work in related areas of the media are invited to stop by to meet the organizers and learn more about the benefits of membership in the new Detroit Press Club.
Guests at the event will hear about the two membership categories, Journalist (for working press and related fields) and Associate (students and educators).
Anchor Bar owner Vaughn Derderian is pleased that the Detroit Press Club has selected his spot for the launch. "The Anchor Bar has a long history of hosting some of the great names in Motor City journalism. Our walls are plastered with photos of these journalism giants from the past. All were patrons of the Anchor. Unfortunately, the price of posting your photo on the wall behind our bar is your own funeral."
Steve Purdy, Vice President of the Individual Communicators Network (ICN), the group initiating the comeback of the club, commented: "We think that by re-establishing the Detroit Press Club we can demonstrate there's still plenty of life in the city. Who better to tell that story than our very best communicators?"
Bob Giles, an active member of the old Detroit Press Club and a member of ICN adds, "The true value of the new Press Club is that it includes all aspects of journalism without focusing on any one means of communication. It's all about making connections and sharing great ideas."
Purdy is Detroit editor of TheAutoChannel. Giles, former director of news operations at ABC's WXYZ-TV channel 7 in Detroit, is currently editor of NewCarNews.TV.
Dave Smith, a former Detroit Press Club president, applauded the effort. "The old club was based on comradeship among the media – a place where you could talk shop with your pals, contacts, and competitors."
Organizers also plan to quickly re-institute the popular Detroit Press Club International Wheels Awards honoring excellence in automotive journalism. The awards were last offered in 2008.
The original Detroit Press Club was formed in 1958 and had peak membership exceeding 500. Its first location was at the Detroit Leland Hotel. Soon after, it purchased its own building on Howard Street at First Street near the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News. When the federal government purchased that site for a parking structure, the club moved to the Renaissance Center on the Detroit River in the early '90s. Like scores of other press clubs around the nation, the club progressively lost members as media and lifestyles changed with the times and interest waned. It closed its doors for good in 1994.
About ICN: The Individual Communicators Network (http://www.icnpr.net) is a nonprofit corporation of experienced communicators who work as a team on major projects, including the International Wheels Awards and the Michigan Excellence in Journalism Competition for the Detroit Press Club Foundation, which continued after the Press Club closed.

These shorts seemed good value in the sale today. They have an adjustable waist so pulled in tight they fit my son and will probably last a couple of summers as there is plenty of let out room. He loves the style and they are sturdy enough to stand scout trips and mucking about in the forest.
20/06/2013 18:56:35
These seem like good shorts - and have a button fastening, not a popper, which on his last pair broke off very quickly. He's very skinny so needed a pair a size smaller or they would have fallen off him. Good value, particularly with the 10% off from another purchase.
11/08/2013 20:03:27
These are good shorts - sturdy material and seem well made. My older son has a pair too and likes them. Would be expensive at full price, but I got them half price, so excellent value. The green is good, but perhaps other colours as well please?
08/08/2013 22:14:08
The material is a good quality and should wear well. The children's sizes are very generous which is fine unless you have a very slim child. Had the buy the size down for her age so she won't get a much wear out of them.
02/10/2013 18:44:58
I am short legged lady who was looking for trekking shorts but no female adult shorts were available as summer sports clotinh now being replaced with winter sports clothing but these kid's shorts fitted me perfectly.
12/08/2013 22:46:38
My grandson tried them on and wanted to wear them straight away. Perfect fit lovely material. We will be hoping the next size up will be available next year. Better still they were at the sale price!
08/08/2013 21:58:58
Bought these for my son, but had to return as they were too fashionable for him, he's not into fashion! I thought they were great and was disappointed they didn't come in adult sizes.
17/09/2013 15:05:35
Bought for next year for my 5 year old grandson. He was very pleased with the grown up pockets and his mum was equally pleased with the style and quality.
20/07/2013 12:09:41
More range of colours would have been nice. Excellent quality and at half price worthwhile. Not sure if I'd have paid full price.
20/07/2013 11:03:08
They are very comfortable with an easily adjustable elastic waistband which makes them fit well for a long period of time.
20/07/2013 15:11:38
These seem to be well made and fit well. My other son also has a pair (in stone) and they're wearing well.
07/08/2013 10:55:14
He wears them all the time now, very good washing and they don't wear easily which if perfect.
29/05/2013 15:34:09
They fit him well with room to grow, and will be heavily worn all summer Very good quality
17/07/2013 10:30:02
Really appreciate the adjustable waistband. Great colour for a girl or boy.
13/08/2013 10:07:18
Great product, wears well and washes well. Would definitely recommend.
04/07/2013 08:44:52
Lovely colour and good quality shorts with elasticated waist.

text: Want the secret to being successful in real estate? Well when it comes to using technology to compete, the secret is out. With a few simple investments, you can be 50%, 60% even 80% ahead of your competition on the tech-edge. In fact, it's so easy to create a technology-driven advantage on your competition that it's almost worth saying, don't worry too much about your so-called competition!In fact, if you look at the numbers, technology's advantage is amazingly simple. According to the National Association of REALTORS® 2005 Technology Efficiency Study, staying ahead of the average agent with everyday technology is better than a 50/50 opportunity. Let's break it down:NAR surveyed 2500 brokers and agents regarding their technology usage; 81% of the respondents were agents. Almost sixty percent of these were in the business under 5 years, but 85% were in the business at least two years. They were fairly good producers, too: 34% did between 11 and 20 transaction sides, while 39% did more than 21 sides. Was it just a hot market? Possibly. So the study asked, what tech tools are you using to make this happen?First, only 95% said they used a cell phone. Huh? Are 5% of your competitors telepathic? No, no, must be payphones. Never mind; let's move on. Now 78% said they used a desktop computer. Does that mean that a quarter of the industry doesn't have a computer? Well, maybe they have a laptop. Not likely, considering that only 55% reported they owned one. So, somewhere, in between these two numbers, a sizable number of your "competitors" either rely upon sharing a computer in the broker's office or use a pencil. Up to a quarter of your competition could be standing in line to use an office computer while forty-five percent are chained to a desktop somewhere, unable to take their computer to listing presentations, open houses and buyer tours. A nice, light laptop would put you ahead of half to two-thirds of your competitors going head-to-head at listing presentations. Smile sympathetically to those poor desktop users, who don't stand a paper-cut's chance with their pokey-paper-print-outs.It gets better: Only 33% of respondents said they had a Palm-based computer. That leaves two-thirds of the competition walking around flipping day-timer pages, missing appointments and forgetting important tasks. Even if we factor out the experienced paper pushers, the majority of the sticky-note-enabled agents out there certainly can't check email on their pads or show listing photos on the road. And unless they get messages by carrier pigeon, more than seven out of ten of your competitors remain virtually disconnected from email without a handheld handy.To be super-successful with your technology, consider that only 8% of those surveyed owned a Blackberry or Treo-styled device capable of making phone calls and checking email on the go. Essentially, unless it comes in a voice mail, nine out of ten of your competitors have no idea if their customers are trying to reach them when they're not in front of their desk; barely half could check email, even if they found a WiFi hotspot for their laptops.Fasten your seatbelt, because the ride gets wild. Thirty-two percent of the respondents said they did not use the internet to generate leads. One out of three REALTORS basically said, Internet? What Internet? And they call themselves the competition…. but I digress. For the two-thirds of agents who get leads from the internet, the highest ranking source of leads was their company's web site; MLS sites ranked second; personal sites ranked third. The key secret here is to avoid spending thousands of dollars that so-called competitors are wasting on their ego-stroking personal pages, and focus on company-generated leads which don't require you to create, maintain and finance yet another dot-bomb personal biopage. A sub-set of the survey – about 7% of respondents – said they derived 40% of all leads from the internet and did the same number of transaction sides as the entire survey sample. Guess you'll have to watch out for that seven-percent group: but heck, remember that a full third of your competitors don't get any business from the web.Finally, if you read the study, it's no secret how to stay ahead of the average competitor, especially when it comes to staying in contact with consumers. A full 59% of the group reported they use the phone to stay in touch. In a Do-Not-Call-day-and-age, that merits a you gotta be kidding me! response from yours truly. The good news is that while 6 out of ten of your competitors will be tied up double-checking phone numbers and leaving voice mails all day, you also won't have to worry about the 71% who don't use email to follow up with consumers. Well, that's probably not news, considering that more than half of email inquiries from consumers still go unanswered for days on end; who would expect agents to use email to stay in touch, either? About one in five agents said they communicated with consumers more than six times annually; but 40% of them are still using postal mailings, which means a good proportion of them will end up broke this year after feeding the ink-monster in their printer and paying Uncle Sam to hand deliver. Only about 2% use an electronic newsletter – great news for a savvy agent like you who not only wants to contact consumers more than six times a year, but do so at a near-nil cost.All in all, the numbers definitely add up – to a great opportunity for any agent with a laptop, a PDA, a cell phone and a personal email newsletter – to use technology to stay ahead of the so-called competition.This article was authored by Matthew Ferrara of Matthew Ferrara Seminars Inc.Reprinted with permission of Matthew Ferrara Seminars Inc.

Brighton brothers complete marathon charity cycle ride
6:20pm Thursday 26th July 2012 in News
Two brothers have completed an epic cycling challenge to raise more than £5,000.
Ross and James Stokley, of Brighton, cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats to help raise money for the Rett Syndrome Research Trust.
James' two-year-old daughter, Summer, is affected by the condition which inhibits speech and independent movement.
The brothers completed the ride in 12-and-a-half days and have to date raised more than £5,000.
Mr Stokley said: "It was painful, it's the first long distance ride I've done.
"At the moment we've had more than £4,000 online and we're waiting for more than £1,000 to come in – the target was £4,000 so we're pretty pleased.
"The weather wasn't as good as we'd predicted but we only had about three days of solid rain.
"Summer came up and rode the last two miles into John O'Groats with us – which was nice."
One woman the brothers met on their travels not only helped guide them out of Bristol but later pledged £200 to the cause.
"What she did was great, we met a few people that really helped," Mr Stokley added.

Health Care Reform – How It Negatively Impacts Employees & Employers
Healthcare Changes Will Suffocate Businesses and Jeopardize Attraction of Top Talent
New Healthcare Reform went into effect September 23, 2010 or your health insurance plan's first anniversary date. On March 1,2011, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Acts and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act will then go into effect. And, the bottom line is that many small businesses with 50 or more employees will be greatly impacted. And, if they choose not to offer benefits because the new plans and revisions will increase premium rates with the providers they will be penalized with a $2,000 per employee penalty every year. If you have 50 employees or more that can be a $100,000 cost and you still will not be able to offer competitive health insurance coverage to your employee's.
If you decide to bite the bullet and comply with the new changes, you will need to hire a full time HR/Benefits staff to monitor compliance since employers are ONLY allowed to charge up to a max of 9.5% of Adjusted Household Income. For example if you have an employee who is currently covered under "Family" medical coverage who earns $112,000 per year and the monthly premium all employee's within your company contributes $908 per month, you will be compliant, however; the rest of your workforce under $112,000 will require their monthly contribution lowered to match the new formula of 9.5% of Adjusted Household Income.
It is illegal to ask employees what other members of their HOUSEHOLD earn, it is a violation of our privacy. But if an employer is to be compliant with the new reform and to correctly calculate the monthly premium charge they must now ask. What if their spouse is a business owner like mine? Most business owners will tell you exactly what was declared to the IRS last year, ZERO.
Is it fair to charge more monthly insurance premiums to the people who earn more than those who do not or require them to disclose their personal family income? These changes forth coming are clearly not well thought out on behalf of the employer and the logistical nightmare they face with keeping up with the new laws or the employees who need health insurance coverage but now their employer may not be able to provide as it is more expensive and hard to administer.
As a small business owner and licensed health insurance broker, "The focus of the new law is to increase the number of people with health coverage, not to control costs for small businesses. In fact, small businesses won't benefit in the least and may have to lay off people to cover increased health insurance costs or cancel health insurance benefits for existing employee's. Clearly, the real winners are NOT the employees."
Here's a basic overview of the financial impact for small businesses:
1) Approximate 3-5% increase in cost due to plan design changes
2) Indirect costs (i.e. pharmaceutical taxes, medical device taxes)
Here's a basic overview of how employees will benefit in Phase 1 (2011-2013):
- Removes lifetime limits on PPO plans
- Removes annual limits on essential benefits
- Removes pre-existing conditions for dependent children under age 19 (PPO plans)
- Removes cost sharing for specific preventive services
- Increases eligibility age to 26 for dependent children
- FSA contributions capped at $2,500 (currently $3,000)
- FSA no longer includes OTC drugs
Phase II (2014) Employee Benefits:
- Annual limits removed
- Pre-existing conditions for all members (PPO plans) removed
- Wellness incentives increased
- Employer mandate and voucher requirements
How does an employer attract top talent and retain them if they can not afford to offer medical coverage to their "knowledge workers"? Boomers and Traditionalists are very interested in this part of the "rewards and compensation" package when considering a job offer. They do not want to have to work part-time at Wal-Mart as a greeter just to afford health insurance….
What steps can employers take to stay competitive in the marketplace with these new changes?
- Evaluate your employee demographics; determine if the "rewards and compensation" matches the personal needs of your employee base. For instance the younger generation, Millennials are not as concerned with health insurance because they do not need it yet but your "knowledge workers" which are the Boomers and Traditionalists need medical coverage.
- Contact local gyms and nutritionists to see if will offer discounts to your employees so they have an affordable and trusted venue to keep learn about a healthier lifestyle.
- Provide counseling coverage under your health insurance plan so employees have a place to seek advice when life events cause them concern.
- Provide opportunities for employees to work a flexible schedule or telecommute if it is feasible for your business. This provides them the opportunity to be home more and provide care for their children or aging parents and it is good for the environment.

Migraine treatment: Can antidepressants help?
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/migraine-treatment/AN01822

Jerry W. Swanson, M.D.
Dr. Jerry Swanson is a board-certified neurologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. He is also board certified in headache medicine and is a professor of neurology at College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic. He has a special interest in medical education.
Dr. Swanson, a Lacon, Ill., native, was appointed to the Mayo Clinic staff in 1982 and works in the Department of Neurology with more than 90 other physicians. He formerly chaired the department's Division of Headache and continues to work with headache subspecialists around the world. He has published and lectured widely on headache disorders. He also serves as assistant dean for assessment at Mayo Medical School.
"In a manner similar to the printing press, Internet technology enables the unprecedented ability to communicate with the global community about health information," Dr. Swanson says. "There is no doubt that the knowledgeable individual contributes greatly to his or her own health care, and now we can share information much more widely.
"There is much information already available about health care on the Internet. Unfortunately, much of it is not founded on sound principles. It is exciting to be a part of the web team and contribute to the creation of a reliable and timely health resource."
Dr. Swanson is the neurology editor for "Mayo Clinic Family Health Book" and has reviewed articles for "Mayo Clinic Health Letter" and "Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource." He is also editor-in-chief of the "Mayo Clinic on Headache" book, published in 2004. In 2008 the magazine Women's Health named him one of America's Top Doctors for Women. In 2011 he received the Mayo Medical School Dean's Recognition Award for his contributions to undergraduate medical education.

Migraine treatment: Can antidepressants help?
My doctor prescribed an antidepressant for my migraines. Is this an appropriate migraine treatment? I don't have depression.
from Jerry W. Swanson, M.D.
Certain antidepressants can help reduce the frequency and severity of some types of headaches, including migraines. You don't have to have depression to benefit from these drugs.
Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, are most effective and likely work by affecting the level of serotonin and other chemicals in your brain. There is little evidence that other classes of antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), are effective for migraine prevention. However, preliminary research suggests that one SNRI, venlafaxine (Effexor), may be helpful in preventing migraines.
Side effects of antidepressants vary from one medication to another and from person to person, but they can include weight gain, fatigue, constipation and dry mouth. Such side effects can make it difficult to stick with treatment.
If the medication doesn't seem to be working or is causing bothersome side effects, discuss this with your doctor. Don't stop taking a prescribed medication without talking to your doctor first.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
This has been a bit of a peeve of mine for many years, those of you who live in the U.S. will have rarely experianced it, but countries in Europe must deal with it all the time.
I am talking about multi-releases for movies, where a feature is released at a later date in other territories outside of America. For example, Disney/Pixar do it ALL the time, the worst of which was a six month gap until we saw it here in Ireland.
What are your thoughts on this topic, what have been your worst experiances with it, and, is it even relevent these days? I know in many occasions it is due to subtitle-generating and passing movie censoring boards, but is it a means to generate a higher overall international gross?
Edit: - This also applies to Blu Ray and DVD releases, do you think that Blu Rays should become region free, so that they can be internationally released on the same day?
It wasn't bothering me a few years back, but since I've started to hang around a lot of Internet movie blogs and websites, it's become a huge pain in the ass.
Thankfully, I don't watch a whole lot of movies in theaters (maybe 4-5 a year), otherwise I don't think you'd ever hear me shut up about it. Still, last years I there were three movies that I was seriously pumped up about that had a 2-4 month delay between the release in the USA and the release over here in Sweden. Some of them were even considered "okay to spoil" before they were even close to release here.
I suppose I can sort of see the reason for this, distributors may not want to gamble on smaller releases before they know how they're doing overseas, or until they gain interest from the public due to Oscar nominations. But it still feels as if someone isn't putting enough of an effort in, why was there a four month delay for Black Swan? Even before the Oscars that movie should not have been hard to sell...
Pixar movies I always assumed were being delayed because they need to be dubbed (my sympathies are with people in countries where all movies need to be dubbed :-/), but thinking about it, both Rango and Kung Fu Panda 2 came out here at the same time as they did in the US, and both those movies were released dubbed as well as in English.
Like I said, I'm assuming there's a good reason for it, but that doesn't make it any less annoying >,/p>
Man, I realy sympathise with you, being in Sweden, you must have it worse than we do here in Ireland. I think it all comes down to the amount of time there is between completion of the film, and it's theatrical release. Pixar movies generally have very little time, so the dubbing and subtitles for other languages means that worldwide releases are delayed, sometimes considerably.
In the other hand, films like Rango may have had more time ti work on the dubbing so ensure an international release. There's so many complexities and reasons here, that it would be nigh-on impossible to determine if it is a problem with the studios, or distributers. Spoilers are a major problem, and I think sites need to be more careful and considerate with the material they publish, especially in these days when anyone can post a blog with a review.
It's regional. You guys get The Wind that Shakes the Barley and Perreir's Bounty, which get released straight to DVD here.
I'm a big fan of Irish film.
But a lot of the time there are great foreign films that get released 3 months before they get to the USA. MicMacs and The Good, The Bad, The Weird are good examples of that.

Does anybody use or prefer using Hydralyte as their sports drink of choice? Just wondering whether anyone finds it better than the usual suspects, as it is a little pricier.
I buy the 800g tubs of Endura, had it recommended by a physio after I buggered up my knee through running etc a few years ago. She also suggested that I give up running and take up cycling so she can't be too far off the mark.
The 800g tub costs $39.95 at Fitness Attack Bulk Store on Anzac Hwy and makes about 11 litres of drink, around $3.65 per litre.
Mike how many gms carbs / 100g ? doesn't show on the website. Just curious, I've been told to steer clear of most hydro drinks because of sugar levels.
H2O is the way to go!
I'd like that on a jersey.
Matt, no mention of carbs as such on the pack and its certainly not a sweet taste, only additional info on the pack is ...
ENERGY: Each dose provides 375 kj (90 cal) of energy.
I wouldn't mind seeing someone who can explain the contents doing so or providing a comparison.
some sugars are not sweet.
golden circle do a sports drink that is on the cordial section of the supermarket.
the powder ones are convenient if you can carry some in a small container and mix it as needed.
Price can often be a poor indicator of quality.
however wen there is no other indicator (people cant tell the difference) people often use price as a proxy indicator of quality.
while sports drinks have their place if you are trying to lose weight you would be best to drink water as well.
medicine is not a precise science (people have different genetics) and they also exercise in different environments.
Hydration requirements will be different between summer and winter for instance.
Diabetics need to motioner their sugar and exercise more carefully than the rest of us.
there is no magic one size fits all answer.
water from the tap is cheapest.
if other drinks give "value" to you is a personal thing.
$3.65 a liter is not that cheap but it is still cheaper than flavored milk or soft drink
Flavoured milk or softdrink are junkfood! Put them in the bin as they will do nothing for you!
As a Litmus test, give a child that is not often exposed to any of those drinks some! See the results for yourself. They go nuts, the sugars and all the stuff we can't(well me anyhow) pronounce that is piled in those drinks will do nothing.
Genetics aside, after much reading and searching and trial and error.
Get rid of chemicals in your life, your body was never designed to absorb them.
Grab some fruit as I mentioned above or put some almonds and dates in a bag in your pocket and munch on that and see for yourself.
Drink water, lots of it.
Those of you with dry or bad skin, put those water and chemical based creams in the bin. Drink water and fix it from the inside out.
Skin can't absorb water which is what most cream are made of, the rest is a chemical cocktail.

22 cents was in-line with my prediction
Sentiment: Hold
A higher diividend yield will also help the stock price.
Sentiment: Hold
It says declaration date, not payable date - read the last line in the text reproduced below, from the press release
With respect to HYT, shareholders should consider the distribution announced today to be inclusive of the distribution ordinarily declared on November 1, 2013 and any undistributed net investment income earned through the effective date of the Reorganizations. No other distribution for HYT will be paid during the month of November 2013. The next distribution declaration date for the combined fund (HYT) following the Reorganizations is expected to be December 2, 2013.
Sentiment: Hold
I think that the 16 cent dividend that went ex on 10/25 included November's dividend (payable in Dec)
Sentiment: Hold
whatever is returned is charged back to the manufacturer/supplier/distributor ... if the customer says "does not work" or "a part is missing", a fee is also slapped on the charge back. This is how all major retailers work.
me too ... down 8-9% but holding on ... so, what's going on?
Sentiment: Hold
Immelt said that he will return 50% of profits in form of dividend ... so for FY 2014, the estimated EPS is $1.80 ... so we can expect an increase to 22-23c/qtr ... if that happens, it will be more than 10% increase
Sentiment: Buy
A small dividend hike but more than made up by strong prfots driving the stock price much higher
Sentiment: Hold
they raised it by only 3 cents/ADR
$41 is hardly a correction ... that's like 5% lower
sorry that was a month ago, and the price was 16.40 then, now 15
The price has been dropping further since then
$80 soon
Bad quarter ... missed on earnings, missed on revenue, lower guidance
$80 coming soon
Sentiment: Hold
10/29 and 60c/qtr per ADR
Sentiment: Hold
22c/qtr would be nice
@ more than 7 points per dollar in price movement
Sentiment: Sell
It will take a few takes to recover
So, why would anyone buy at $13.85 from the parent company when they could pick at $11.85 from the market.
If someone is paying 13.85 for the same thing, isn't it a no-brainer to load this up at 11.85 fromt he market?
seeing the 6c/ADR increase trend for the last two years, it should go up to 60c/qtr

Discuss an algorithm to traverse a tree, depth first.
Java Trees Interview Questions
Write a function that takes as input a binary tree, and returns the length of the longest path.
For example, in this binary tree:
/ \
2 3
the answer is 2, since the path from vertex 1 to vertex 5 involves two edge traversals.
Write function that takes a binary tree and efficiently returns the Nth smallest element.
For example, if N=4, and the tree looks like:
/ \
2 5
/ / \
1 4 6
The function should return 4.

Python on the Mac
Python on the Mac has the ability to work with
- Apple Events (you can use Python instead of Applescript),
- Native Mac libraries (you can call all the Objective-C libraries, including Cocoa),
- Mac application bundles ("apps", written in Python),
Python comes pre-installed on Mac OS X, but due to Apple's release cycle, it's often one or even two years old. The overwhelming recommendation of the "MacPython" community is to upgrade your Python by downloading and installing a newer version from the Python standard release page.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.5, see the Leopard wiki page for detailed information.
If you're just curious...
You don't have to download anything. You can run a Python interpreter by double-clicking on Applications / Utilities / Terminal (here's a picture), then typing "python" into the window that opens up.
You'll see a prompt that looks like this:
Python 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 20:38:20) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>(On Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), it will say "Python 2.3.0", an older version.)
Try typing "2 + 2" and hit "Enter":
>>> 2 + 2 4 >>>You've just evaluated your first Python expression. It's a simple environment, but good enough to work through the Python tutorial.
By the way, if you download the recommended upgrade mentioned at the top of this page, the "IDLE" development environment will make working through the tutorial a bit easier.
Alternative Packages for Mac OS X.
- ActiveState ActivePython (commercial and community versions, including scientific computing modules). ActivePython also includes a variety of modules that build on the solid core.
- Enthought Python Distribution The Enthought Python Distribution provides scientists with a comprehensive set of tools to perform rigorous data analysis and visualization.

TVA Releases Benchmarks to Meet Building Energy and Sustainability Goals
April 19, 2011
KNOXVILLE, TN — The Tennessee Valley Authority is on track to reduce the energy use of its office buildings, shops and warehouses by 30 percent by 2015 and to increase the amount of renewable energy that supports them.
Those are some of the factors receiving top "green" scores in TVA's fiscal year 2010 Federal Office of Management and Budget scorecard on sustainability and energy performance. The scorecard, which TVA is releasing for the first time, describes how an agency's buildings and related operations meet guidelines for reducing their environmental impact.
The buildings reviewed are not part of TVA's electricity generation fleet, but instead structures such as office buildings, shops and warehouses. Using this scorecard as a benchmark, TVA will identify and track the best opportunities to reduce pollution, improve efficiency, and cut costs.
Under an executive order issued by President Obama, federal agencies are directed to lead by example in clean energy and to meet a range of energy, water, pollution, and waste reduction targets. Based on scorecard benchmarks, TVA will update its Sustainability Plan by June and add that to what is posted on the company's website.
"This scorecard serves as an important tool to help us develop targets to reduce waste and increase efficiency in our operations," said Anda Ray, senior vice president of Environment and Technology and TVA's Senior Sustainability Officer. "We are now armed with data to know how our buildings stack up in energy performance so that we can address areas needing improvement and to expand on our successes."
TVA is working to meet goals to decrease energy use per square foot in company buildings; decrease potable water use per square foot; decrease vehicle fleet petroleum use; establish inventories of direct and indirect green house gas emissions; incorporate sustainable building practices and increase renewable energy use.
TVA has consistently met building energy reduction goals and currently is using almost half the energy of the federal average for these-type buildings.
TVA has also met renewable energy use goals that apply to all of its buildings including those that are part of the generating fleet. TVA has submitted its green house gas inventory and set targets to cut green house gas attributed to combustion of fossil fuel energy and use of electricity in its buildings, as well as green house gas attributed to business and employee commuter travel and waste disposal.
Areas showing a need for improvement include reducing water use in its buildings (currently yellow on the scorecard) and retrofitting 15 percent of its existing buildings with technologies to make them more sustainable and environmentally friendly (currently red on the scorecard).
To address areas that need improvement, TVA will implement more water-saving projects in its buildings and move all agency energy and water data to a new data management system to provide more accurate accounting for water reduction accomplishments. To address sustainable building requirements, TVA is currently doing detailed evaluations of its buildings to determine the most cost effective ways to make them more environmentally friendly.
TVA's vehicle fleet has been historically excluded from past requirements due to the nature of its make-up and use (no central fueling or central stationing of vehicles in large metropolitan areas) and its connection to the operation and maintenance of the TVA power system, which in many ways could be considered part of national security. TVA is currently working with the Department of Energy to determine the scope of these requirements without impacting TVA's mission to provide power to 9 million people, including other federal agencies, hospitals, law enforcement, etc.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states at prices below the national average. TVA, which receives no taxpayer money and makes no profits, also provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists utilities and state and local governments with economic development.

A new solar power system generating energy at the Pickle Research Campus is significant for its size and location and that it's an innovative teaching tool.
Science & Technology - University Operations
Here comes the sun

The solar energy system will be a teaching tool as well as a means of producing energy and encouraging conservation. -
Mark said on Aug. 29, 2011 at 7:19 p.m.
When it comes to solar energy and the installation of photovoltaic systems, Texas in no way compares to places like California, Hawaii, and Arizona. However, Austin is a national hotspot. But to anyone who knows anything about Austin, that should not come as a surprise. I'm sure that with the incredible decline in the price of solar modules we'll see the entire state "going solar" very soon.

The Maroon VOL. VIII LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1930 No. 12 Varsity Debaters Prepare For Third Intercollegiate Debate To Meet University of Wyoming in Marquette Auditorium Next Monday Night With the Baylor and Loyola of Chicago contests concluded, the Loyola Debating Team is now preparing for its third intercollegiate contest of the season, which will take place on .Monday night, March 31, in the auditorium of Marquette Hall. John Oulliber and Felicien Lozes will represent Loyola against the arguments of the forensic squad of the University of Wyoming. The Loyola team will again argue the affirmative of the proposition: "Resolved, That the nations of the world should adopt a plan of complete disarmament except such forces as are necessary for police purposes." Following the conclusions of the Wyoming debate, the local debaters will prepare for the first forensic tour in local history. The Loyola speakers will leave New Orleans on April 11, on a short debating schedule during which they will meet Oklahoma Baptist University and the University of Oklahoma, the former at Shawnee and the latter at Tulsa, Oklahoma. The contest with Oklahoma Baptist University is a return engagement and one of the year's outstanding contests. Last year, the local team defeated the Baptists in New Orleans and a return match was immediately secured. Word from W. L. Brandon, coach of the Oklahoma team, reveals the fact that the Baptists have been almost as successful this year as last, when they won the championship of Oklahoma and Tennessee. The short road and trip and forensic tour will conclude the schedule of five debates which have been arranged for the year. MARICHAL APPOINTED DENTAL JOURNAL REPRESENTATIVE News has been forthcoming from the dental school of the appointment of Fernando Marichal as correspondent and representative to the "Herldo Farmaceutics" Dental Journal for New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. Marichal is a member of the junior dental class. Marichal belongs to the local Delta Omega chapter of Psi Omega dental fraternity, enjoys the distinction of being the first undergraduate to be selected on the staff of the journal, which is issued at Tegucipalpa, Honduras . Several of his articles have been published in the past few months; his latest- ones being an "Prophylaxy and Care of the Teeth," "Enamel," and "Vincent's Angina." ARTS CLASSES TO BEGIN QUARTERLY EXAMS TODAY Regular Classes Will Not Be Held -During Exam Week The regular quarterly examinations for the colleges of Arts and Sciences will begin this morning at eight o'clock. Those to be held this morning are: Salesmanship and Advertising, Advanced English, First Year College French, Second Year French, Latin, Second Year Spanish, Chemistry 7-8, Accountancy, American History, will be held in the afternoon, i-3. Monday morning, exams beging with Chemistry 1-2 from 8-10. Principles of Economics, Merchandising and Marketing, Physics 1-2, Chemistry, 11-12, will be held from 10-12. English Literature and First Year Spanish will occupy student minds from 1-3, and Drawing 2-4. PASSION PLAYS TO BE PRESENTED FOR FIRST TIME IN NEW ORLEANS Original Cast From Germany To Take Part in Ancient Ceremony The Freiburg Passion Play will be presented for the first time in New Orleans by the world-famous Christus portrayer, Adolf Fassnacht, on Monday, March 24th. and running for six night through March 29th. The play is presented by the original cast direct from Germany. The completion of this, their first American tour, will add another great triumph to the world tour of Adolf Fassnacht's play, which has been presented in Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, France, Italy, Austria, Hungary and Spain, thus carrying out the life purpost of Mr. Fassnacht to present this beautiful historical Biblical play to the world. Many people will have a personal interest in the presentation, for the advance agents of the company have sent out a call for amateur singers of the city to take part in the group scenes of the play. This request met with a hearty response and there will be approximately two hundred ■local singers on the stage at various times during the play. Several Loyola students will participate in the mob scenes. They are Victor Choppin, Bernard Carbajal, Gilbert Vincent and others. FIRST DENTAL POST GRADUATE COURSE COMES TO A CLOSE Dr. Stillman and Dr. McCall Among Prominent Dentists To Deliver Lectures The first post - graduate dental course ever to be held at Loyola came to a close on Snturday, March Bth, with a general assembly over which Dr. Kennedy presided. This course has attracted quite a bit of attention in the dental profession because of the prominence of the men who participated. More than one hundred and seventy of the best dentists in New Orleans and in neighboring sections of the country enrolled for the course. All were intensely interested in the various lectures, juding from the queries which were being put constantly to the instructors. It is hoped that the course can be made an annual affair, and it is a certainty that it would receve the support of dentists throughout Louisiana. The nine men whom the university had chosen from the North and East to have charge of the course are among the most prominent in their particular lines. Drs. Stillman, Mc- Call and Fench were very popular among the students taking the course. CHEMISTRY STUDENTS HEARS LECTURE ON SUGAR REFINING Motion Picture Demonstration On Process of Sugar-Making Accompanies Lecture Mr. Skelly, representative of the American Sugar Refining Co., gave to the chemistry students an instructive and entertaining motion picture demonstration on the process of sugar-making last Tuesday morning. The picture embraced the complete development of the sugar product. It showed how the cane-stalks in the South American territories were placed into huge vats and the juices extracted before shipping to any of the five great refining companies in I the United States. It gave to the' students an insight into one of the largest factories in the world, show- j ing the gigantic machineries and the ! unique manner which the cane is re- ! fined, boiled, chemically analyzed, and finally produced in the various forms with which we are acquainted. It was interesting to see how ' machinery perfectly and accurately performs its duty, just as a man would. How the paper boxes were ' folded and filled and sealed without the touch of the human hand. LOYOLA SODALITY HAY SEND TWO DELEGATES TO CONVENTION Sodalists to Start Drive In Order to Procure Necessary Funds The Loyola sodalists held their semi-monthly meeting on the 17th, at which one topic under discussion was the means to be used in procuring sufficient funds to defray the expenses of one, or possibly two, delegates to the National Conventionwhich opens its session in Chicago soon. President Yenni presented for approval the plant resulting from a prolongated discussion of the authorities It is proposed that the Thespian Club enact a play, the entire proceeds of which shall be used for this purpose. In the event that they are unable to comply with this request, the sodalists intend to stage the play themselves. E. TOPPINO, MOST POPULAR STUDENT, VOTING REVEALS Bill Roberts Chosen Best Dressed and Most Dignified Yenni, Rault, Hardin, Heier, and Vincent Are Other Winners in Contest The annual popularity contest, sponsored by the Student Council in conjunction with the Maroon was held during the past week and attracted a very large vote. An unusual amount of interest and enthusiasm was displayed throughout. Of course, there must be the usual amount of griping that follows an election of any kind; but judging from the majorities secured by the winners in nearly every instance, I their victories were representative of the greater portion of the student body. And now for the winners. First of all is the voting for the most popular student. Emmett Toppino, Junior Arts and Science, was the winner by a large majority, and receives for a prize a monogrammed wallet from Hausmann. Timothy Loyola Duggan, came in for the next prize, which is a tie donated by the Imperial Shoe Store. In the search for the Most Spirited Loyolan, Gerard Rault, wins first place and three shirts donated by Godchaux's. Second prize, which is a tie donated by Rubenstein, goes to George Leppert. Get ready girls! Here comes the most handsome, and he's the prize of the Dental class. John Hardin, tall, dark and handsome was voted the handsomest male in the university. He will receive a Stetson hat from Marks Isaacs. A. D. Smith was runner-up and merits a tie from Rubenstein. A few days before the contest, it was noticed that fellows who had LOYOLA GLEE CLUB GIVES SHORT REQUEST PROGRAM OVER WWL Many New Songs Being Added To Repertory for Coming Trip The Loyola Glee Club gave a short request program over the university radio broadcasting station, last Monday night. The program although short, was very enjoyable, according to reports which have come in by letters and telegrams from the neighboring country. The Glee Club is a regular Monday night feature over the university station. The Glee Club is rapidly rounding into shape for the tour which is to take place next month. Many new numbers are being added continually to the repertory, and by the time the gleemen will be ready to start out on their trip they will have had time to polish and perfect their every number. Since Pr. Ruggeri, faculty advisor, may not be able to accompany his charges on account of the pressure of his duties at the university, the entire charge of the trip will be in the hands of Mr. Paul Jacobs, director and Francis Achee, president of the organization. Some of the latest numbers which have been added to the Glee Club list are: "Alma Mater;" "Because;" "Here We Are;" "The Rosary;" and a medley of college songs. THESPIANS TO HOLD TRIALS FOR RECEPTION OF NEW CANDIDATES Trials for the admission of new candidates into the Thespians, dramatic club of Loyola, •will be held next Friday night, in Marquette auditorium, at 8 P. M., it was decided at a meeting of the organization last Monday. Candidates for admission must be in good scholastic standing before they will even be allowed to appear before the membership. They must prepare a five-minute speech to be delivered before the members of the club. Another result of the meeting was a decision to present another play, the proceeds from which will be handed over to the sodality to defray the expenses of sending a delegate to the National Sodalists to be held at Chicago.
