They say college is a time where we mature into adults and our fashion choices seem to follow. This Fashionisto's vintage yet chic ensemble is a fabulous example of that. The vintage sweater trend blossomed fall of 2012. In particular, the "fair isle" knit has become very popular with brands such as YMC, Hawke and Dumar and American Apparel. The complement of his military green trousers to the green undertones in his sweater pull the look together impeccably and as a final touch, the addition of a modern jacket finishes off the look with effortless style. This Fashionisto found the right balance between "new" and "old."
Name: Nick Senft
Major: Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Mass Media
Year: Junior
College Fashionista: What are you wearing?
Nick Senft: Well, the jacket is H&M, the pants are Levi 511s, shoes are very weathered Clark's Desert Treks and the sweater is some Italian designer…I got it from a thrift store. Random assortment.
CF: How would you describe your personal style?
NS: Uh…city college kid "ballin' on a budget"? Or maybe pseudo Euro hipster. People think I'm European all the time.
CF: What or who influences your personal style?
NS: I would say the biggest influence is my current college student condition. With little money, I'm forced to dress within thrift and H&M priced boundaries. Internally, whatever stage or point I am in my life influences my clothing. Current trends in the arts tend to influence me, external wise.
CF: Do you have any men's fashion tips you would like to share?
NS: If I could say anything really is just dress your part and enjoy it. If you're a college frat kid who likes Mac Miller, grab a snapback and dress that part. If you're a grunge, '80s punk personality, make sure you're good on black leather and chains. If you're a business career type of person, keep it professional and clean. If you're a groovy, hipster chick at heart, find a nice sundress and shades that don't match. Just know who you are and dress the part. Don't dress as something you're not, for your own sake. We're all just little characters performing.
How To: To achieve this Fashionisto's style, look for a vintage sweater that emulates the "fair isle" knitting technique. These sweaters can be found in your local thrift store or you can check out these sweaters from Karmaloop. Match the sweater with a pair of Levi 511s. Next, add a jacket for warmth and style. Polish off the look with a pair of Clarks.

Jill Abramson's dream epitaph: She kept The New York Times 'straight'
With a team of New York Times reporters aggressively investigating the BBC scandal in which their parent company's brand new C.E.O., ex-BBC chief Mark Thompson, has been implicated, you'd think there might be some awkwardness between Thompson and the newsroom.
Not so, according to Times executive editor Jill Abramson.
Story Continued Below
Abramson was asked this afternoon about the "drama" unfolding within the Times' Eighth Avenue headquarters as a result of the saga at the BBC, which is under fire for killing a documentary, during Thompson's tenure, about alleged sexual abuses by the late former host Jimmy Savile.
"What happens when you see Mark Thompson in the building?" Business Insider editor-in-chief Henry Blodget asked Abramson. "Do people hiss at him?
"Hardly," said Abramson, who noted that she's already had meetings with Thompson and that he "seems full of energy and ideas. ... There have been other stories where the Times has had to cover ourselves. When I was at The Wall Street Journal that was true too."
Abramson, dressed in knee high black boots and a gray sweater over a purple dress, was speaking at Business Insider's third annual Ignition conference at the Time Warner Center.
It's been a little more that a year since she took the helm of the paper of record, and Blodget wanted to know if she felt like she'd been making waves.
"Usually, when I take my dog out in the morning and we go to a dog run, invariably people are arguing about the [Sunday] Review," said Abramson. "And if we become regulars at that dog run, they're waiting to pounce on me."
But the ever effusive Business Insider boss saved some of his best ammunition for later on in the chat, asking Abramson when she thinks the Times print edition will cease to exist.
"I just really believe that there is a big appetite for both products," said Abramson. "We have 800-and-some thousand people who have subscribed to the newspaper for two years or more. They still find it indispensable to their day and to their lives. No one can predict that there will always be a robust appetite for both these things, but for foreseeable future, I think I'm going to be putting out the best news report in journalism that will be both in newspaper form and all kinds of digital forms."
And Abramson's legacy? What does she hope people will think about her reign at the Times after it comes to and end?
"I want people to say that I protected and expanded the depth and breadth of our news report," she said, "and some version of what [former Times executive editor] Abe Rosenthal said he wanted on his tombstone was that he kept the paper straight. It's not just the paper now, but I want them to think I kept the place straight."
We have more from Abramson's interview here.

On November 21, 1917, Mrs. H. F. Miles, President of Woman's Council delivered an illustrated lecture at the High School Auditorium, dealing with with (sic) women's work in the War and the activities of the Red Cross. The meeting is to be the first in a series to be given during the Winter, for which the State Civic League is to supply Stereoptician view of current events in the War Zone. The meetings are open to the public. The pictures are from the European battlefields and show bomb-throwing submarines and other interesting features of the War on Land and Sea.
Mrs. Miles' administration made a great contribution to the World War I projects and the entire Council gave many hours to volunteer services. Because of these activities not too much was done on the Council's own projects – winning the war came first.
The following officers were elected for the years 1918-1919: Mrs. F. B. Gillette, President; Mrs. W. H. Prouty, Vice President; Mrs. George Winslow, Recording Secretary; Mrs. B. F. Watson, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. J. L. Richards, Treasurer; Mrs. H. F. Miles, the retiring President gave a report on the years' work to the Council. One project accomplished was the Church Directory which has been placed in public buildings, railroad stations and hotels for the information of visitors. Woman's Council during the year has devoted its activities for the major part to war activities and has aided in the Liberty Bond and Red Cross Drives.
On January 20, 1918, Mrs. F. B. Gillet, President appointed a committee to appeal to the officials of the Street Car Companies operating in Sacramento to secure some relief for the platform men who are required to wear heavy caps and uniforms throughout the hot summer months. Rev. Mary Bowen brought up the subject and made an appeal in behalf of the street car men. She expressed the sentiments of the entire Council.
Mrs. F. B. Gillett, the new President, appointed a committee to discuss the question of garbage disposal. It is contended that the handling of all garbage in the city should be in the hands of the city itself, and at the same time provide revenue for the city treasury.
At the March 21st meeting the Council pledged to cooperate with the Tubercular Clinic as maintained by the City and County.
Acting upon reports received by the membership, District Attorney Hugh B. Bradford was requested to look into the practice of several theatres in the city keeping the exits closed during performances.
A $5.00 donation was made to the fund being collected by the Tuesday Club committee on behalf of the Sacramento Braves, and a committee was named to cooperate with the Tuesday Club.
Mrs. H. F. Miles was elected delegate to the State Federation of Women's Clubs; Mrs. C. O. Busick, alternate. The other delegate was Mrs. Frank B. Gillette, Mrs. James Harbaugh, alternate.
Wednesday, April 24th, Woman's Council adopted resolutions be sent to Congress suggesting legislation be enacted to prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquor for the duration of the war, and called upon all constituted authorities, both city and county to immediately enforce all laws and ordinances looking to the supervision of prostitution, gambling and the sale of intoxicating liquors in dance halls. This was considered as a precaution and protection of the health of the combat forces stationed near Sacramento of the Army Aviation School at Mather Field. The citizens were urged to conserve food and to increase production.
November 23, 1918, the Woman's Council took up the thread of its activities again when on Wednesday a meeting was held in the new City Library. Mrs. F. B. Gillette presided at the session. Mrs. B. F. Watson told members something of what the various philanthropic branches had done to assist during the influenza epidemic and of the activities of the war work nurses. Mrs. G. E. Campbell was the special guest of the afternoon and discussed the activities of the Northern District Federation of Women's Clubs of which she is President. She also spoke of the work of the Women's Legislative Council. Among the various committees of the Council which have been hard at their tasks was the committee on Sanitation and Hygiene. Mrs. C. O. Busick was the chairman and her assistants were Mesdames Helen Boston, Edith Winslow, A. Tabor and E. C. Butler.
Woman's Council held its regular meeting on Wednesday, December 18th in the New Sacramento City Library and voted to become members of the Women's Legislative Council. Plans for a complimentary luncheon for women members of the coming legislature were discussed and Mrs. Geo. F. Walsh was named Hospitality Chairman.
All Sacramento women were invited to attend the reception on January 16, 1919 given for the visiting club women interested in the Legislature. The affair was of particular interest since a part of the evening's entertainment was a discussion on the Community Property Bill in which Club women all over the state were interested.
The Mezzanine floor of the Sacramento Hotel was the scene of the affair and the presiding hostesses were members of the Woman's Council with Mrs. F. B. Gillette heading the reception committee. Mrs. A. E. Carter of Oakland, and Mrs. Hester Griffith of Los Angeles were special guests of honor.
The Woman's Council held its meeting February 25, 1919, at the City Library when the committee of which Mesdames Charles O. Busick, George F. Walsh and G. C. Chappell were chairmen gave interesting reports. Members of the Council also had the pleasure of greeting Dr. Martha Welpton, who is serving on war camp community service work. Following a talk by Mrs. Scherfee, President of the Outlook Association on March 21, 1919, the Council unanimously endorsed the recommendations that the Department of Interior be urged to employ more men on the work of listing California lands. In her address, Mrs. Scherfee called attention to the fact that the selection made by the Surveyor Generals Office concerning approximately 100,000 acres has not been listed and that a very large area of land selected since 1908 has not been listed by the Federal Government. The President of the Woman's Council was instructed to advise the delegates to the Northern District Convention to solicit endorsement of the plan to have the Secretary of the Interior expedite the listings.
The Council unanimously adopted a resolution on May 24th, favoring a raise in salary for the teachers of this city. A committee of five women was appointed and will appear before the City Commission and the School Supervisors to ask that the teachers be granted this salary increase. Those on the committee were Mrs. Charles Adams, Chairman, Mrs. B. F. Walton, Mrs. John T. Greene, Mrs. George Winslow and Mrs. H. F. Miles.
May 28th the Executive Committee of the Council went on record as being unanimously in favor of the filtration plant for securing clear water for the city. At a meeting of the Council to be held in June, the Committee will urge the active support of the campaign by every member of the Council. Harry S. Maddox, Director of the clear water campaign, met with the Council committee and outlined the plans for clear water to be proposed if the bond election carried on June 26th. In accordance with their endorsement of the filtration plan, a woman director was to be named to assist Mr. Maddox in the campaign for the bond issue.
Women of the city are particularly interested in this proposition because they observe daily the inconvenience and unsatisfactory conditions caused by dirty water.
Members of the Woman's Council met on October 16, 1919 and unanimously adopted resolutions favoring exclusion of Japanese picture brides, and barring Asiatics from immigration and citizenship. This is in line with action taken by nearly every organization in California, and is directed against the 'peaceful' penetration of California by the Japanese. Council also approved the movement to exclude from citizenship any child born of parents not entitled to citizenship. Copies of these resolutions were sent to California Representatives in Congress.
Plans for a convention of delegates from all women clubs in the county in November were tentatively made. It was planned to exchange ideas upon the work of the clubs to avoid duplication. Endorsement was given the consumers milk league in its fight against the so-called Milk Trust.
The installation of a sprinkler system in local schools as a fire prevention was presented to the City Commission. Also that it would be to the best interests of the City if all garbage was handled municipally.
One of the very attractive features of the Woman's Council Convention held November 21, 1919 was the luncheon for which some seventy-five covers were arranged. This social gave the women from out of town an opportunity to become better acquainted with the local club women.
Woman's Council endorsed the drive of the Salvation Army for funds to carry on its work at a recent meeting. Women of Sacramento interested in Welfare and rescue work among girls were to assist in the fund drive. The campaign was from May 10 to May 20 and headquarters for the drive were placed in the Chamber of Commerce Building. A general campaign committee was appointed by J. C. Havely, Chairman of the Advisory Board. Members of sub-committees were appointed. Judge Peter J. Shields was named chairman of the speakers committee and Stephen W. Downey, Chairman of the Publicity Committee.
On Monday, September 20, 1920, six committees were named by the Woman's Council for activities during the coming year. Among the aims of the organization is the improvement of the 12th street road. The Council went on record supporting the city commission in its refusal to put a ban on Sunday Funerals. Committees as announced by Mrs. J. L. Richards, the President, were as follows: Constitution and by-laws, Mrs. T. H. Adams, Miss Loretta Ferguson, Mrs. J. L. Harbough, Mrs. Charles Gilmore, Mrs. H. J. Kilgariff, Mrs. Frank Gillett and Mrs. O. W. Anderson. Sanitation and Hygiene: Mrs. C. W. Webster; Press, Mrs. J. L. Richards, Mrs. Alice Tracy; Highways: Mrs. Mary Bostwick, Mrs. Charles Gilmore, Mrs. George Neeley, Mrs. A. A. Goddard, Mrs. F. B. Fancher, Mrs. S. E. Griggs, Mrs. Kate Barker, Mrs. Helen Boston, Mrs. William Rackerby, Mrs. T. H. Adams; Public Welfare: Mrs. Ben S. Allen, Mrs. Carlos McClatchey, Mrs. Robert Pierce, Miss Ardell Folger; Hospitality: Mrs. T. M. Eby, Mrs. Lillard, Mrs. Edith Winslow, Mrs. Job Wood, Mrs. W. C. Wood, Mrs. Orrin B. Whipple, Miss Loretta Ferguson, Mrs. S. E. Griggs, Mrs. George Davidson, Mrs. R. T. McKisick; Court Committee: Mrs. John T. Greene, Mrs. J. J. Harris, Mrs. Patrick Naughton, Mrs. Electa Butler and Helen Boston.
On October 21st, L. C. Hunter was the chief speaker. His topic was "The New City Charter." Mr. Hunter dwelt upon the City's adoption of the proposed charter as a measure of economy.
Dr. James Parkinson of this city, presented arguments for compulsory vaccination, and Peter Ross of San Francisco against it. Mrs. M. R. Beard read the club collect preceding the short business meeting.
At the beginning of the Woman's Council year of 1921, the new President Mrs. Charles Gilmore, announced that each committee chairman would take charge of the planning of the program for one day during the year, giving her an opportunity to place before the Council, speakers and problems of interest relative to each particular group. Mrs. Gilmore arranged the program for the opening day with the subject of Highways as she had been chairman of this committee during the past year.
At this time there were thirty-six clubs participating in the activities of the Woman's Council. The outstanding committees were Court and Welfare, Better Films, Sanitation and Hygiene, Education and Highways.
Under Mrs. Gilmore's Administration, the subject of the Junior College was enthusiastically discussed as a much needed institution for Sacramento, and was endorsed by the Council.
The Woman's Council took an active part in the Annual Flower Show sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and were hostesses at a Traveling Exhibit offering a special exhibit of Fine Art Prints given by the City Library.
The Woman's Council took an active part in the "Days of '49 Celebration," wearing costumes that were vogue in '49 to carry out the theme. Great interest was manifested throughout the United States during this celebration.
The most outstanding work of these two years was the nation-wide movement instituted by the Better Films Board of the Woman's Council. Through the tireless efforts of this Board and the splendid cooperation of the Motion Picture Industry, the upward swing to better motion pictures was started.
The Woman's council did this by simply advertising strongly and boosting the better productions. They placed bulletins listing the best pictures, those meeting the approval of their previewing committees, in hotel lobbies, department stores, schools, libraries, elevators and candy stores. They kept the good pictures constantly before the public and said nothing about the bad ones. The reaction of the public was most favorable, and within a given time no bulletins were necessary and a list of the "Best Films" were printed in the daily newspaper twice a week. So we see that Better Films for the nation was a direct result of the Woman's Council members who worked relentlessly on this project.
At a meeting in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, announcement was made of the reception to be given the newly made citizens. During this administration the meeting place was changed to the Chamber of Commerce.
A letter of appreciation was received from Superintendent of Schools. C. C. Hughes in appreciation of the Council's part in the recent bond election.
Speakers during this administration included Mrs. Charles Norris who spoke on "The Wright Bill"; Professor Edward Krebiel, "Heredity and Environment of the Child"; Mr. C. C. Webster, "The Subnormal Child"; Dr. Rosenburg, "Sanitation of Slaughter Houses"; Mr. Newman of the State Department of Agriculture, "Sanitation of Milk and Creameries"; Professor Lea, "Food and Drug Sanitation"; Dr. Theresa Meickle, "Proposed Community Property Law"; Mrs. Elizabeth Gaberding, "New Club Building in San Francisco" and City Manager Clyde Seavy on the need of a Civic Auditorium.
Officers for 1922-1923 were as follows:
Mrs. Charles Gilmore
Mrs. Charles Gilmore
First Vice President
Mrs. Edith Winslow
Second Vice President
Mrs. Alton Cooper
Mrs. W. L. Sperry
Recording Secretary

The years of 1923-25 under the leadership of Mrs. Walter McGinn were indeed years of inspiration for the Woman's Council. They were recipients of a twenty-five dollar prize for their special exhibit at the Annual Flower Show; they pledged to raise funds for a fifty-thousand dollar organ for the new Civic Auditorium to be erected on the site of Sixteenth and J Streets; glowingly optimistic discussions were had on the possibility of a deep sea ship canal for Sacramento and the Council adopted a resolution for conservation of our forests.
Plans were made to bring to Sacramento the Wheeler Hall Greek Theatre Players, in hopes of stimulating a desire for a Little Theatre in our city. Although this project was not a big success and the Council suffered a loss financially, it was well received and greatly enjoyed by those who attended.
One of the most delightful activities of the Council was the inception of an Annual Musicale and Tea in the Crocker Art Gallery. Over five hundred persons attended during the afternoon and were entertained by the Music of Sacramento Composers, whose compositions in turn were performed by Sacramento musicians.
In our thriving community the need for a Y. W. C. A. Building for the business girl was discussed, pointing out the work of the "Y" was preventive not corrective, and the Y. W. C. A. Building would be a "House of Friendliness" in our City.
There was a growing consciousness of the power of the woman's vote and at this time a League of Women Voters was organized within the Woman's Council which arranged to study and to hear both sides of political issues and all civic questions of importance. It was designed to further knowledge among women voters. The World Peace Organization was discussed and the Woman's Council endorsed a resolution on International Affairs to be sent to the President of the United States and our two senators. The resolution read: WHEREAS, the United States of America is justly regarded at home and abroad as holding a position of extraordinary power and prosperity, and WHEREAS, we believe this condition of well-being constitutes a great opportunity for service, and WHEREAS a policy of isolation from world affairs is neither wise nor possible for this nation; THEREFORE, be it resolved that we assembled at the Woman's Council of Sacramento, California, representing thirty organizations, respectfully urge upon the President of the United States of America our deep conviction that the United States of American can materially aid in the realization of peace for all nations by the participation in the Permanent Court of International Justice, believing this to be the first step toward the outlawing of war and toward the fuller and more far reaching international cooperation which is necessary to secure permanent peace."
One of the Council's most effective committees was that of Sanitation and Hygiene. It had regular inspection of milk and milk products plants, factories, canneries, stores, soda fountains, restaurants, and other places where food products were manufactured, sold or handled and frequently recommended changes in equipment or methods. For several years the Council urged municipal garbage collection and finally its efforts were successful.
The Better Films Board continued to make a definite impression for good upon the movie world throughout the United States. Bulletins that had been published for five years were dispensed with and the Sacramento Bee began to publish weekly reports of the best films. The Better Films Board had won recognition as the finest of its type and communications came from all over the country applauding its work and asking for aid in establishing like boards in their cities. This board alone showed that the combined activities of the Woman's Council were a tremendous force for good, reaching beyond our own city of Sacramento and greatly benefiting the entire nation.
Speakers for this administration were: Mr. George Barron, Curator of M. H. DeYoung Memorial Museum of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco; Mrs. Weir, Secretary of the Y. W. C. A.; Miss Weymouth, Women of New Zealand and their Legislation; Dr. Whidden, History of the United States Flag; Dr. Worth Tippey, Child Labor and the Federal Prison for Women; Mr. Ernest Marsh, United States Department of Labor; Professor Overholzer; Supervised debate on Woman's Equality Bill by four high school students, Ruth James, Hilda Ferguson, Howard Tyler and Norman Cruckshanks; Mrs. Frank Law of Oakland, Chairman of Efficiency in the Government Department of the State League of Women Voters.

Under the Presidency of Mrs. Omar H. Blank (1925-1927) there were thirty-two organizations affiliated with the Woman's Council. A year book was published containing a list of all members of the Woman's Council, the constitution and by-laws of the Council, and a resume of its work since its organization in 1903.
In December 1925, a resolution designed to protect the shade trees, and advocating the planting of more trees for the future, was passed by the Council and sent to the City Council.
On Armistice Day 1926, a monument was dedicated to the heroes who lost their lives in World War I. It was constructed of granite and bronze, materially and symbolically beautiful, and erected on the Victory Highway directly across from the Junior College and was called the Victory Monument. The granite for the monument was a gift to the Woman's Council and the sum of $1,300.00 was donated by friends of the Woman's Council for the construction. The shrubbery surrounding the monument was a gift from the city.
Through the efforts of the Council, a Woman's Rest Room was installed at the Court House. The Council endorsed the purchase of Joyland Park by the city for playground and recreational purposes; it formulated plans for two swimming pools for the city; endorsed efforts to bring Y.W.C.A. - National Convention to Sacramento; and endorsed places for grouping Federal Buildings near the Capitol and now known as the Capitol Mall.
The Better Films Board reviewed its efforts toward raising the standards of movies, and at this time attention was called to the fact that most of the literature and moving pictures held the Police up to ridicule as sympathy was always with the burglar and against the policeman. The Council started a move to help change the attitude of the people to one that would support and help the officers-of-the-law. The Better Films Board continued by popular demand the policy of posting bulletins in the Sacramento Union giving the ratings of pictures previewed.
Work began toward enlarging the Woman's Building at the State Fair Grounds and plans were made to consult with Senator John Inman regarding drawing up a bill to be presented to the State Legislature to be known as "The Woman's Council Bill," seeking appropriations for the improvement and enlargement of the Woman's Building.
Sacramento Valley has always been famous for its unexcelled climate and vast natural resources, offering a boundless field for agricultural development and rare opportunities for the homeseeker. Because of this the Woman's Council felt that our beautiful city of Sacramento should be christened with a distinctive title representative of some of the wonderful things for which Sacramento is noted and a resolution was made urging the City Council and the Chamber of Commerce to adopt the slogan, "Camellia City, the heart of California."
The Woman's Council upon official action suggested to the City that the entrance to the Southern Pacific Depot be named Camellia Place. City Manager H. C. Bottorff referred the letter to the City Council. The City Council upon motion of A. E. Goddard unanimously passed Resolution No. 38 on April 8, 1926. Councilmen present were – Chas. W. Anderson, Thos. F. Bellhouse, C. H. S. Bidwell, Ralph E. Conley, Harold S. Kiernan, John H. Miller, Royal Miller – absent W. I. Elliott. Many large Camellia bushes were secured and planted by Woman's Council but soon after they disappeared one by one apparently removed by party or parties unknown.
Speakers for 1925-1927 included: Mrs. William Palmer Lucas of San Francisco, who spoke on "Woman's Relation to Law Enforcement"; Judge C. E. McLaughlin, "Duty of All Women to Vote"; Neil McAllister, "Public vs Police"; Judge J. F. Pullen, "Crime and Criminals"; Ben Blow, "New Victory Highway"; Frank C. Vincent, High School Vocational Instructor; Thomas D. Van Osten of the Allied Amusement Industries; Mr. Stewart Tulley, head of the Vocational Department of Music at Sacramento Junior College and George Nelson of North Sacramento.

During Mrs. Cora Harris Sterring's administration which was 1927-1929 a decision was made by the Woman's Council to direct the efforts of the organization toward securing a Fine Arts Building on the State Fairgrounds instead of an extension of the present Women's Building. During the legislature session a ten year building program for the State Fair was approved and the Women's Building was placed second on the list.
A committee was appointed to study the possibility of establishing a nursery school in Sacramento.
Through the efforts of the Council the organization was successful in stopping the noisy hauling of the McGillivray Construction Company at early morning hours; the Better Films Board lent its efforts toward securing at least one theatre in Sacramento to present films suitable for children; and through recommendations of the Education Committee a home teacher for the city schools was appointed for the coming year.
Speakers for the year included Mr. Edwin Muse who spoke in behalf of the Pioneer Memorial Arch which he was desirous of erecting at the entrance to Capitol Park; Mr. H. P. Demand of the YMCA staff; Miss Susan Smith, City Librarian; Mrs. Orin B. King who spoke on "Prison Conditions in California"; Miss Helena Silva, Camp Fire Executive of Sacramento; Mrs. Ruth Keene of the Chamber of Commerce; Community Chest Women's Auxiliary; Mr. Earl Jensen spoke on Humanitarian Measures and Mrs. Henrietta Ruclofs, Executive Secretary of Rural Community Department and Secretary of the Legislative Committee of the YWCA.

During Mrs. Harris' second term of office as President of the Woman's Council, the City Manager promised reorganization of the Police Department and the addition of a policewoman to the force. The Council made a decision to have visiting committees attend the City Council at each meeting. A resolution was sent to the Grand Jury requesting appointment of a qualified woman social welfare worker at the county hospital.
During the previous year the Sacramento Union had ceased publishing the bulletins giving the ratings on movies, the Better Films Board decided to post bulletins in the hotels and the Y. W. C.A. The Boards also protested to the "Advertising Club" on the vulgar type of advertising it was using and secured a promise of their cooperation.
A request was sent to the Governor to place two women on the Board of Agriculture which controls the State Fair.
Committees faithfully made daily visits to the police courts in order to get information to substantiate a demand for juvenile court because present methods of handling juvenile cases were unsatisfactory. A bill was prepared for the Legislature but the committee was advised that the time was inappropriate. The committee then called on the Grand Jury in behalf of establishing a Juvenile Court.
The Sanitation Committee continued to follow their inspection work and the year 1929 brought many improvements in sanitary conditions in Sacramento. The sanitation of the rest rooms in the theatres were improved. The Council supported a legislative bill calling for uniform state inspection of meat.
The Council tried in vain to save downtown trees from destruction but progress and expansion ruled that they must go.
An outstanding event of the year was a legislative tea sponsored by the Council for the wives of the Legislators. The affair was given at the Crocker Art Gallery.
The council endorsed a bill for formation of a 4-year college in Sacramento and started machinery to place a woman on the City Planning Board.

Mrs. Harry Wayne Blass was President for the Woman's Council during the years 1929-31. Mrs. M. A. Wingo, Secretary. The year was started with the completion of projects already started as well as starting new projects facing the administration.
Mrs. C. L. Gilmore, Chairman of Better Films Board continued efforts to secure more satisfactory pictures for children. Protests were sent to the Walt Disney Productions, Inc., makers of Mickey Mouse cartoons for more suitable and harmless films for children's matinees. The chairman reported a decided improvement in pictures, and a preview of Matinee films by the Senator Theatre in cooperation with the Council's Better Film Board.
The trend of times developed an unusually active Police Court Committee with Mrs. Oran A. King as Chairman and Mrs. Josephine Haug, Vice Chairman. The establishment in Sacramento of a Juvenile Bureau was a partial result of the activity of this committee. This committee presented Mr. Horance M. Witbeck from the Child Welfare Section of Police Department as a program speaker. Mr. Witbeck stated, "It is better to look forward with the boy than backward with the criminal."
Woman's Council through a committee composed of Mrs. Blass, President, Mrs. Milo N. Wood, Mrs. Ora A. King and Mrs. Archer Sullivan made a study of the exciting "Walkathon" and concluded it was a menace to the health of the participants, a fire hazard to the audience, and an evasion of ordinance No. 426 of the City of Sacramento. These findings were presented in the form of a resolution to the City Council. The Resolution in full was printed by the North Sacramento Journal.

Mrs. Elizabeth Wood at the helm of Woman's Council in 1931-32, many new issues met the Council for consideration and solution.
A growing list of itinerants was becoming Sacramento's number one problem; Hygiene and Sanitation was still below standard in many public places; Risque theatrical productions were making appearances in the theatres; idle men had resorted to gambling in McKinley Park; the Public Library was closed on Sunday as an economy measure by the city.
On November 9, 1931 a symposium was held to inform and bring pertinent data to the members of the Woman's Council and the general public regarding the fast developing water problem in the city.
The panel speakers and their topics were Mr. Albert E. Given, "The Silver Creek Plan," Mr. F. I. Green, "The Middle Ford of the American River," and the possibility of the construction of a dam and reservoir at Folsom; Judge George F. Jones, "The Nevada Irrigation District"; Mr. Fred Munz, "Deep Well Water Supply."
This was an all day conference with discussion continuing during luncheon in the Senator Hotel. Invitations were sent to all interested organizations not affiliated to the Council. The Parent-Teachers Association was especially interested and sent a large delegation.
The Woman's Council at this time made a study of existing wells already present in the City and found many large plants operating many wells, running from 10 inches to 16 inches in diameter and from 100 to 600 feet deep. Pump capacity was found to be from 450 gallons per minute to 1200 gallons per minute. Most wells were found to be free of all animal and vegetable matter.
It was also found that where wells reached the deeper strata there was no lowering of the water table, that only surface wells were influenced to an insignificant amount by the river level during dry years.
These are a few of the subjects which the Standing Committees accepted as a basis for the year's work.
After an address by Horace Witbeck of the Police Department, the Woman's Council appointed a committee to assist all itinerant boys who came to their attention and arranged with the Y.M.C. A. to provide sleeping quarters when needed. The committee secured enough odd jobs through the delegates of their affiliated organizations to provide each boy with three hours work daily and sufficient pay to provide for their immediate needs. Clothing for boys in ages 12 to 21 was collected in quantities and arrangements were made for medical and dental care through the County Hospital and the generosity of individual Sacramento physicians. A continuous job placement effort was maintained and a creditable number of boys were placed in permanent jobs. One boy became an engineer at the Y.M.C.A.; another a lineman for the P.G.&E. Co.; while another offered to work for board and lodging on the dairy farm of one of our members. The Committee helped some of the boys to return to their homes, helped others to communicate with relatives. In the end, the Woman's Council Committee found it was competing with a "Home for Homeless Boys" organized by Communists from New York. When the police department broke up the "Home" because of cruelties practiced upon the younger boys, a few of these boys found refuge with the group taken care of by the Woman's Council. This project was continued until all the boys had found jobs, gone home or joined the C.C.C. Camp then being formed. Throughout this year, a committee of the Woman's Council was present at all City Council meetings and all Police Court sessions. Reports of all proceedings were submitted to the Council.

The Highway Committee received a fine tribute for its work done to abate Bill Boards. The Committee also worked diligently with the State Department in its program to improve and beautify Highways and State Parks.
The Traffic Committee presented statistics showing 3,421 traffic accidents and 254 deaths during December 1932. This Committee was successful in having more traffic officers assigned to the arterial points, where most fatal accidents occurred.
At the close of the meeting, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Mr. George Jenson brought an impressive message to the Council – just an excerpt from this message: "We are now engaged in a tremendous effort to place material things where they belong and to consider the needs of the human being. Now that we have gathered together the greatest amount of wealth that any country has ever had, how can it be made to give human happiness and overcome suffering? Out of the sanity of the average American will come the answer. When we have learned how to attend to the distribution with 5 hours a day, 5 days a week of work, which will give all that is needed to keep us comfortable and happy, then we shall build a civilization that surpasses any dream the early stages could hope for."

text:
Akinetic-rigid syndrome: A syndrome, or collection of systems, consisting of lack of movement (akinesia) or reduced movements (hypokinesia), slow movements (bradykinesia), and stiffness or rigidity (involuntary resistance to movement). The rigidity is of a type called cogwheel rigidity.
Basal ganglia: A group of nuclei, or clusters of nerve cells, near the base of the brain that is important in regulating both movements and emotions.
Bradykinesia, hypokinesia & akinesia: Bradykinesia means slow movements. Hypokinesia means reduced movements and generally refers to making smaller movements than intended, such as the small steps seen when a Parkinsons patient walks, or the small size of a Parkinsons patient's handwriting (called micrographia). Akinesia means lack of movement.
Cogwheel rigidity: " A type of rigidity in which, when a patient's limb is moved by the examiner, it resists and gives way in small, step-like movements as if it was being controlled by a cog-wheel.
Dopamine: One of a number of chemicals used by nerve cells as neurotranmitters. Messages are carried electrically along individual nerve cells but signalling from one nerve cell to another is usually accomplished by releasing a neurotransmitter chemical. Dopamine is the main neurotransmitter of the nerve cells which die off in Parkinson's disease.
Dysarthria: soft voice or inarticulate speech.
Dyskinesia: Abnormal writhing movement of voluntary muscles.
Dystonia: Involuntary spasms of muscle contraction that cause abnormal movement and posture.
Epidemiological studies: Statistical studies of the occurence of diseases in populations and environments.
Familial Parkinsons: Some unusual forms of Parkinson's disease run in a few families. Abnormal genes have been identified in some of these families, but abnormalities in these genes are NOT found in most patients with Parkinson's disease. Alpha-synuclein and parkin are the proteins coded for by genes identified as being abnormal in some familial forms of atypical Parkinson's disease. Normal alpha-synuclein is also the major protein in Lewy bodies, the pathologic inclusions found in typical Parkinson's disease. The normal functions of alpha-synuclein and parkin are not yet clearly established.
Freezing: Temporary inability to move.
Levodopa: Levodopa was the first major breakthrough in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Levodopa is used by the brain to produce the chemical dopamine, which is deficient in persons with PD. The neurotransmitter is converted by the neurons in the brain into dopamine, which is stored within the cells until needed by the body.
Neurodegenerative Disease: A disease in which nerve cells in the brain or spinal cord (central nervous system, CNS) progressively die or degenerate.
Neuron: a cell that generates or conducts electrical impulses to carry information from one part of the brain to another.
On-off phenomena: sudden, unpredictable changes in motor performance by people on levodopa therapy.
Parkinson's Plus diseases: These are neurodegenerative diseases which cause the akinetic-rigid syndrome or parkinsonism PLUS additional symptoms not usually seen in Parkinson's disease. These diseases are progressive supranuclear palsy or PSP, corticobasilar ganglionic degeneration or CBGD, and multiple system atrophy or MSA, which includes Shy-Drager Syndrome, olivopontocerebellar atrophy or OPCA, and striato-nigral degeneration.
Pathology of Parkinson's disease: Examination of brain tissue from Parkinson's disease patients under the microscope shows loss of the dark-colored dopamine-producing nerve cells in the substantia nigra pars compacta and appearance of Lewy bodies, abnormal small round clumps of protein and other materials which are rarely seen except in Parkinson's disease.
Postural reflexes: Postural reflexes are the involuntary movements people automatically make to maintain their balance when standing and walking. Impairment of the postural reflexes causes poor balance and a tendency to fall.
Resting tremor: Tremor is a rythmic movement or shaking of any part of the body. The tremor of Parkinson's disease is called a "resting tremor" because it is present when a limb is at rest and may be reduced or go away when the limb is held up or otherwise used by the patient. Most other types of tremor are reduced or absent when the limb is at rest and relaxed.
Striatum: A region of the brain made up of two nuclei, or clusters of nerve cells, the globus pallidus (which means "white ball") and caudate (which means "tailed"). These two nuclei are part of a group of nuclei called the basal ganglia, which is important in regulating both movements and emotions.
Substantia nigra: This literally means "the black substance" and is a region in the brainstem (where the spinal cord joins the brain) where there is a group of dopamine-producing nerve cells, which appear darker than the surrounding tissue. The dopamine-producing nerve cells are in the pars compacta (meaning "compact or dense part"). There is another part called the pars reticulata ("speckled part").

SHERIDAN — The Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention will host a strategic planning session to come up with viable programs and actions to combat issues of tobacco and other drugs in Sheridan County.
The public is encouraged to attend the meeting at noon Monday at the Holiday Inn's Sugarland Mining Company restaurant.
Attendees will use information from the comprehensive Sheridan County Community Needs Assessment, as well as a completed community survey, to track best practices in the areas of tobacco and other drugs.
Activities and prevention action steps for 2013-2014 will be planned.
"We really have some good feedback, and we have an outline on what best practices will succeed in Sheridan, when it comes to issues of tobacco and other drugs in our community," said Thom Gabrukiewicz, community prevention specialist with the Wyoming Prevention Management Organization, in a press release. "I would encourage anyone who wants to see a healthier Sheridan be part of this process. These are ideas that have been proven to work nationally — and will be customized to reach folks in Sheridan."
Those attending will also get information on what programs and action steps are planned in the areas of alcohol and suicide prevention. Those steps were discussed in January and have been accepted by the state Department of Health and the state's prevention leadership team.
For more information on the state's initiative on community wellness efforts see Wyoming Prevention Management Organization's website at www.wyopmo.org.
For more information contact Gabrukiewicz at 655-8263 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The research and development tax credit creates high-paying jobs and should be an important tool in efforts to stimulate the U.S. economy, Aerospace Industries Association President and CEO Marion Blakey said in a Jan. 29 letter to Senate leaders.
The tax credit is a proven incentive that helps U.S. companies compete in the global economy by encouraging high technology innovation. Blakey said the credit should be part of the economic stimulus package under consideration in Congress or another tax package that would be considered later this fall.
The letter urged Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) and Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-IA) as well as Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to reinstate the tax credit this year, preferably in the stimulus package.
"The tax credit is a huge factor in fostering the technological advances that are the cornerstone of America's success," Blakey said. "The credit is needed not only for the sake of the aerospace industry, but to boost the entire U.S. economy."
The credit, which expired at the end of 2007, dates back to 1981. Congress must extend the credit each year, but lawmakers have allowed it to expire 13 times. In each case they have reinstated the credit retroactively.
While the credit is important to virtually all 269 members of AIA, it is especially vital to the small- and medium-sized companies that don't have the large budgets of big corporations to fund independent R&D initiatives. The credit is often their primary vehicle to make technological progress, Blakey said.
The aerospace and defense industry provides 642,000 high-paying jobs across the nation and accounted for a $57 billion positive foreign trade balance last year, the highest of any U.S. manufacturing sector.
AIA is a member of the R&D Credit Coalition, which includes dozens of trade associations and more than 1,000 companies of all sizes. Among the coalition's goals are strengthening the credit and making it permanent.
Founded in 1919, the Aerospace Industries Association represents the nation's leading manufacturers and suppliers of civil, military, and business aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, space systems, aircraft engines, materiel, and related components, equipment services, and information technology.

Edit: It just finished downloading. Took slightly over and hour and a half to download...it's installing now. I can't believe it took that long!!! Edit Edit: OMG. The camera is worse!! Get the green lock faster but it's not in focus and the images are washed out now! The camera exited out and then could not be initialized once. I was just snapping another pic and the phone is rebooting!!!! SOB.

Sometimes a non-linear editor isn't enough to interpret high frame rate footage—you need a third-party option to help you control your slow motion footage.
Third-party options can eliminate the artifacting or flicker you sometimes get with footage that's shot with a high frame rate.
In the latest episode of Video Gear Weekly, Robbie and I explore some third-party options to help your high frame rate footage look its best.
By Robbie Carman | Saturday, April 11, 2015
High frame rates allow you to slow down your video footage by a lot.
There might be times when you don't have access to faster frame rates or want to slow down your footage more. This is where a motion graphics application or a nonlinear editor comes in to make more targeted speed adjustments.
This week on Video Gear Weekly, Rich and I use Adobe After Effects to show you how to slow down video beyond what a high frame rate can offer.
By Richard Harrington | Saturday, April 4, 2015
Whether you're shooting with a phone, a DSLR, or a high-end camera, most cameras these days are capable of shooting with faster frame rates.
High frame rates can range from 60 to 240 frames per second giving you the option for slow motion shots.
Will these high frame rates benefit your project? In this week's episode of Video Gear Weekly, Robbie and I shoot and process varying frame rates from different types of cameras.

Questions about this product (2)
Nicholas , 15 May 2012
Your website says the hinges are 'sprung'. Does this mean if the box was open and you let go of the lid, that it would close slowly? Would this be suitable as a child's toy box?
Nicholas , 15 May 2012
Made Customer Services, 15 May 2012
This product does not have a mechanism to control the descent of the lid. This sprung hinge does hold the lid open in the 90 degree position. The lid is not heavily weighted and is upholstered on the lip. This would be suitable as a child's toy box as long as a young child is not left to operate the box unattended.

How many pairs of shoes would fit into this box and does the colour go well with Bouji chair in grey?
Orla, 21 Aug 2012
Made Customer Services, 21 Aug 2012
You could fit a quite serious shoe collection in this box and still have extra space, the exact number would depend entirely upon the size of your shoes. This would look great with a Bouji chair, they fabrics are slightly different and would not be an exact match.

Coffee and Cigarettes
Jarmusch's films all depend to some extent on the appeal of watching ineffably cool people doing very little, but none more than this patchwork quilt of caffeine-fueled conversations, hangout sessions, and chance encounters. Iggy Pop and Tom Waits make hilariously stilted small talk in a roadside diner. Alfred Molina reveals to an aloof, weirded-out Steve Coogan that the two of them are cousins. The Wu-Tang Clan's GZA and RZA, nonchalantly drinking from a gilded teapot in yet another diner, find themselves being waited on by Bill Murray, taken aback by some of his odder habits (lighting his cigarettes with a blowtorch). One episode, starring the White Stripes, is aptly titled "Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil." Other segments (there are 11 in total) feature Cate Blanchett, Steve Buscemi, Alex Descas, Roberto Benigni, and Isaach De Bankolé. Together, they constitute one of Jarmusch's funniest and most delightful movies, at once a celebration and deconstruction of its performers' various public personas.

Playing Bonnaroo is the chance of a lifetime for many a budding musical act; after all, it's one of the premier music festivals in the United States. Wayne Coyne will be there with his Flaming Lips, and he wants your band to be there, too.
According to SPIN, the frontman will help select two acts to perform at the Tennessee fest when it rolls around this June. It's all part of a contest enacted by Billboard and Sonicbids, the latter a platform allowing smaller bands to gain notoriety.
Both acts will receive performing slots at Bonnaroo and the free publicity that comes from getting one's name on the lineup, in addition to a $1,000 performance fee and two VIP tickets.
Related: Bonnaroo 2014 Lineup: Kanye West, Elton John, Jack White, Lionel Richie
Interested acts should apply on the Sonicbids website. All that's required is a $10 application fee, which is then submitted to the Bonnaroo Works Fund, a supporter of various n0n-profits on both national and local levels.
Submissions close April 25, giving ample time to put in an application (or even start a band) and even more time before Bonnaroo itself rolls around June 12-15 in Manchester, Tenn.
Meanwhile, Wayne Coyne will just keep being Wayne Coyne, whether that means recording Beatles covers with Miley Cyrus or producing 43-minute ambient songs for April Fools' Day that, knowing the Lips, didn't actually seem all that prank-ish.

Our six-year-old autistic daughter, Jessie, absolutely loves Disney. She struggles with communication but has no issues listing all the characters, shows, and rides she will see as we approach our vacation time. Her all-time favorite character is Minnie.
Last year Jessie, her sister, her aunts, and I had just entered the Magic Kingdom when Jessie's sister proclaimed she needed the restroom. We entered the building just inside the gates and were standing around discussing where the restrooms were when we heard a knock on the door we were standing next to. One of the Cast Members standing nearby said, "Why don't you open it and see who is knocking?"
We thought it was a strange request, but Jessie marched over and opened the door. To her surprise it was Minnie and Mickey! If you could see the look of wonder on her face you would giggle out loud. After a backstage photo session with Minnie and Mickey, Jessie gave Minnie a lingering hug and told her, "I love you." What a great memory!!!!

For a company that specializes in cheap trades, Charles Schwab ( SCHW) shares are expensive. Schwab's stock has climbed 13% this year, while the Russell 1000 Financial Services Index remains flat. The shares, which have rebounded to $18 after hitting $11.36 in March, are trading at 23 times the amount it's expected to earn this year, compared with 17 times for its rivals. Schwab beat analysts' first-quarter earnings estimates, lifting investors' hopes even as its net income fell 29%. The San Francisco-based company has been trimming fees to maintain its lead in a fiercely competitive industry. Meeting shareholders' profit expectations for the next 18 months won't be easy. Schwab shares are trading at 18 times next year's projected net income, compared with 15 times for its peers. Its price-to-book value stands at 4.7, topping the 2.5 industry average. TD Ameritrade Holding ( AMDT), optionsXpress Holdings ( OXPS), E*Trade Financial ( ETFC) and TradeStation Group ( TRAD) offer more attractive prices. Rational explanations exist for Schwab's hefty valuation. Its earnings per share are forecast to grow 28% next year, 10 percentage points higher than those of its average competitor. Only optionsXpress, whose earnings are projected to expand 29% in 2010, is expected to outgrow Schwab next year. Schwab has been trying to lure new clients by cutting mutual fund fees to offset shrinking client assets, but so have its peers. Many investors view online trading as a commodity, and choose the broker that charges the lowest commissions. Schwab's basic online rate is $12.95 per trade. Active traders with accounts bigger than $1 million pay $8.95. Other firms have been dangling fees as low as $7 a trade. TradeStation charges a penny a share, or $5 for 500 shares, for some transactions.

Kings Activate Dustin Penner off IR
The posting of his picture is giving me this nagginly funny "NHL player Derek Morris" vibe.
Lots of options on the kings now. I think its best to send tt down and let him get games under his belt in a competative ahl playoff push. He had a good debut but he's not ready to roster on a style like the kings in another cup run.
Nice to have him back. Never thought I'd say that.
Let's go Penner! If he could settle in and make an impact as the 2nd line winger I'd feel much better. He's done it before, now is the time to bring it!
I think he's played well for most of the year, but the results haven't been there.
He's clearly our best option for 2nd line LW.
2 goals in almost 30 games. Wow. 11 goals in 109 regular season games as a King.
He cashed in based on the series agaisnt Phoenix and that's it. He been terrible before and after.
It's time for a change for Penner. Toffoli and Clifford have done better in the 2nd line LW and have equal or more goals in less games.
It's nice that Sutter will have more options now. It also helps in that Clifford gets slotted in a spot where he is more effective. If they aren't going to play Toffoli, they should probably send him down.
Wonder if Richardson is heading back to the press box? He really isn't a fit on the 2nd line either. Penner does seem to play his best hockey when the stakes are at their highest.
Penner has easily been the best LW option with Richards/Carter. The guy makes one mistake and the entire fanbase crashes on top of him: he has not been bad this year at all for the most part.
This team is going nowhere in the playoffs unless he plays as well as he did in the last one.
I agree that Penner has been the best option on LW with Richards and Carter, but considering the other options they've had, the competition for Penner isn't necessarily that tough.
Penner has been the best LW for the Richards and Carter line, and generally I agree with BigKing's point. If he doesn't turn it around there's only so far this team can go. Our scoring options are one line, one guy, and the top PP loaded up with nearly all our scoring talent on it.
We need the bottom six guys to be consistent in chipping in and Penner too. In the playoffs the Kings must have a second line that works, not just one or two players on it, but three of them.
When the games get tighter and move to the boards in the playoffs, Penner shines. He's not gonna run and gun. That makes him look stupid.
maybe the 4th line won't be garbage with clifford back on it.
Okay keep Richardson in and get Fraser out and put in Penner. :)
After a revolving door of wingers for the second line, I think he is the best option. I also don't think he'll be back next season, Dean said he was signing him for one more year with an option for an extension but I don't think he's earned it. Send Toffoli back to the AHL for more experience and bring him back up once Manchester is eliminated. He's been a healthy scratch for a few games now and needs to play.
Wow absence does make the heart grow fonder.
Penner's pretty much on a 40 point pace this season, which is a hell of an improvement over last year. I haven't obviously havent seen as much as Sutter has that warrants his benching, but overall I've relatively pleased.
Glad to hear this. Even if he his level of play has been a bit inconsistent, I also think he has been our most effective LW on the second line. Clifford works better on the bottom 6. Toffoli played well, but needs a different partner than Carter. Penner has clearly lost his goal-scoring touch, but he is still good at throwing his weight around and has done a good job creating plays for his linemates.
If we don't re-sign Penner for next season, who do we think takes his spot? Pearson maybe?
