Implant Selection Process
In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

Your description and measurements are helpful, but the best advice will come from an exam with your plastic surgeon. It would be helpful to see your surgeon soon so details about your specific breast size and shape can be determined in choosing the best procedure and implant for you. Based on the photo you may require a lift and size determination may be affected by this. The nature of your breast tissue can also dectate the volume ranges that are possible. My suggestion is to travel to Alabama for a consult at least 2 weeks or more prior to the procedure. This will give you time to review the doctor's plan and decide what is best for you with time to think it over. I hope this information is helpful.
Large implant to avoid lift?
Dear Milataki,
From the photo that you have posted it appears that you have a bit of sagging to your breasts. This would usually require a lift operation along with the implant placement unless the sagging is minimal and the implants are large. A 425cc implant is a fairly large implant for you, so perhaps that was the goal here? It is difficult for us from the limited photos that you have posted to make that determination. Presumably, you have met with your surgeon and this discussion has taken place. If not, perhaps it is one that needs to take place. Good luck!

Choose the widest implant profile in the size you want that will fit your breast pocket diameter.
Choosing too-high profile implants based on an erroneous breast base diameter measurement will leave you with high, round, unnatural-appearing ("Baywatch" coconuts) breasts with a wide cleavage.
425cc implants should add just under 2 full cup sizes to your present breast volume (using the volume guideline of about 250cc per cup size), and using the widest profile implants that will fit your breast anatomy will give you the nicest cleavage and a more natural look (that you can "amp up" with the right clothing or bra choices if you like the high round look).
But very few women really want high round hard breasts when nude or when hugging a friend or loved one! Croquet balls in your vest pocket is definitedly NOT a natural feel!
Talk with your doctor, provide goal photos, and try on implants in a bra before deciding. Also, your surgeon has done this before, so trust experience and judgement--that is a good part of what you are paying for, not just a "technician" who does what you have decided on your own. Stay in town long enough for your surgeon to deal with any post-op issues, or be prepared to return for follow-up visits or the rare revisionary surgery if needed. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Best Breast Implant Size/ Profile for Me?
Thank you for the question.
As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "D or DD" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.

Breast implant size
It is not possible to give accurate online advice regarding best implant size and style. The best online advice I can give to women who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Choose your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, board certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to understand and achieve the results you are looking for. Before and after photos should be made available either at the consultation or on the surgeon's web site. Remember, however, these will be chosen for good results. Photos are marketing materials. Since you are traveling out of state it may be best to have one or two consultations scheduled and possibly send photos to your surgeon beforehand.
2. Have a complete discussion regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining what breast implant type, size and profile will most likely help achieve your goals. Bringing photographs of women who have the look you are interested in and some that you don't like as well are helpful. I do not believe that photos are helpful in determining implant size. Terms such as "natural" or "D cup" or "perky" etc. have different interpretations and are therefore not helpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies with the manufacturer and the chest size, which makes discussing desired cup size problematic.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his experience and judgment to choose the breast implant type, size and profile that will best meet your goals. In my practice, this decision is made prior to surgery using a specially designed set of implant sizers so the patient has a very good idea of how they will look after surgery. Most of all we want you to like the way you look after surgery and after surgery when you start buying bras you will find what size fits best.
4. There are quite a few questions on this site dealing with a description of body size and shape and bra size, requesting assistance with implant size. Everyone's body is different and choosing a size implant is ideally based on the size and shape of the breast, and the tissue characteristics of each individual patient, as well as their desired goals. Many women may not be able to achieve the results they want without using an implant that is simply too large which often results in problems many of which require additional surgery.
Thank you and best of luck.
Breast Implant size
I assume you have met, and consulted with your Plastic Surgeon. Since you are out of state, consider sending your surgeon some photos, along with your questions by email. Most Plastic Surgeon's are more than happy to answer a few questions if they have a chart on you, and you are scheduled for surgery.
My Breast Diameter is 11.5 and Rib Cage Measurements is 31
If your diameter measurement is correct (it may not be if you did it yourself), then 425 cc HP implants is reasonably close to your breast width. However many patients measurements are one cm too wide (measurement is breast tissue from medial to lateral end, not skin from medial to lateral end.). If you are actually 10.5, I think that implant will be too big.
I would suggest sending photos to your surgeon well before the day of surgery. From this one rather dark view, you are at least a borderline candidate for needing to consider a breast lift. This is not a decision you want to have to deal with on the morning of surgery.
All the best.

Reno, Nevada
March 11, 1919
The regular meeting of the Board of Regents was called to order
at 10:30 on March 11th by Chairman A. E. Cheney.
The following members were present: Mrs. Hood, Mr. Pratt, Mr.
Cheney, Mr. North (late). Absent: Judge Curler.
The minutes of the meeting of January 6th with slight correction
were approved. The minutes of the meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee of January 30th and March 1 were approved.
Under unfinished business the President reported to the Board his
recommendations relative to the awarding of the Regents' scholar-
ships, as follows:
5 Regents' scholarships of $50 to be awarded to regular
students on the basis of scholarship, 1 to a Freshman,
2 to Sophomores and 2 to Juniors. These scholarships will
be announced at Commencement time, but shall not be paid
to the winners until the first of October following, and
after the recipients have enrolled for the subsequent
year's work. There shall be alternates chosen to whom
the scholarships will be given in the event of the winners
not enrolling for the subsequent year.
After discussion it was moved by Regent Pratt that the 5 usual
Regents' scholarships of $50 each be offered for the coming
year along the suggestions offered in the recommendation of the
President. Motion carried, vote as follows:
Mr. Pratt Aye
Mrs. Hood Aye
Mr. Cheney Aye
Mr. North Had not yet arrived
The President then explained to the members a plan for scholar-
ships to be provided through the formation of a fund in the
various counties of the State through which a steady stream of
the very best high school students would come to the University.
The plan had been explained to members of the Collegiate Alumnae,
who were interested, and it was expected that his plan would be
put before the Federation of Women's Clubs at their coming meet-
The President reported on the settlement with the Government on
the S. A. T. C. that he was not yet ready to report fully the
complete settlement. The barracks had been offered for sale but
the best figure obtained if salvaged was $1100. The President
thought best to retain the building on the Campus in the event
of need for housing displaced Departments by reason of the pro-
posed building program. He reported that University Check 27
for $10,565.75, the remainder of money due the Reno National
Bank for the construction of the barracks, had been sent the
bank. He stated that the final settlement would likely be that
the Government paid 3/4 of the cost and the State 1/4.
List of Claims #3 for Checks 20 to 28 inclusive amounting to
$12,307.56 was approved by the following vote:
Mr. Pratt Aye
Mrs. Hood Aye
Mr. Cheney Aye
Mr. North Aye
President Clark reported that Wayne B. Adams, Assistant Chemist
in the Food and Drugs Department, who had been absent on war
service, had been restored on March 6th to his former status
and salary, in accordance with the action of the former Board
of Regents in granting such leaves.
The President reported the following:
That in the event of the reclamation bill passing the Legis-
lature, J. G. Scrugham, Dean of the College of Engineering,
would go into State work and in that case he would resign
his position at the University.
That Mr. Preston had stated that he expected to be back to
take up his work as Assistant Professor of Mechanical En-
gineering in September.
That he had written Professor Schappelle that we should like
to have him return to the University for work next Fall.
He expected to have final word from him by April 1.
The President recommended that the action of Dean Knight in plac-
ing Miss Leah Regan in the position of Clerical Assistant in the
College of Agriculture at a salary of $80 per month, beginning
March 1, to succeed Mrs. Florence T. Anderson, resigned, be
It was moved by Regent North that Leah Regan be appointed Ste-

Mrs. Hood Aye
Mr. Cheney Aye
Mr. North Aye
The President reported that Assistant Professor Lantz, on leave
for war service, had received his discharge and desired to do
graduate work in the University of Illinois until September or
possibly August. He recommended that as Mr. Brown was doing
the work in the absence of Mr. Lantz, that the leave be extended.
It was moved by Regent Pratt, seconded by Regent Hood, that Mr.
Lantz be given extended leave of absence without pay until he
returned for duty, which should not be later than September 1,
1919. Motion carried, all voting aye.
On the recommendation of the President, it was moved by Mrs.
Hood, that Associate Professor Goggio of the Department of
Romance Languages be made Head of the Department, instead of
Acting Head. Motion carried, all voting aye.
On recommendation of the President, it was moved and seconded

Mr. Pratt Aye
Mrs. Hood Aye
Mr. Cheney Aye
Mr. North Aye
Attorney Huskey asked for permission to appear before the Board
relative to a claim he had in favor of Mr. Eugene Schuler for
alleged unpaid services in 1908 in connection with the construc-
tion of the Mining building, in amount $316.46. Mr. Schuler's
claim was pending in the Legislature and needed the acknowledge-
ment of the Board of Regents that the claim was a just one. Mr.
Huskey explained the details of the claim to the members of the
Board. After a discussion of the matter and as to the reason
the claim had not been paid earlier, the Chairman suggested that
the matter be referred to the Executive Committee and that Mr.
Schuler be asked to furnish evidence that this is a correct and
just bill.
It was moved by Regent Pratt that the matter of the claim of
Eugene Schuler ($316.46) be referred to the Executive Committee
of the Board with power to recommend its payment by the Legis-
lature whenever that Committee was satisfied that the claim is
just and has been heretofore recognized as such by any previous
Board of Regents. Vote:
Mr. Pratt Aye
Mrs. Hood Aye
Mr. Cheney Aye
Mr. North Aye
The Chairman asked the Secretary of the Board to look over the
back records to obtain any data pertaining to the claim of Mr.
Schuler. Mr. Huskey heard the action of the Board in regard
to Mr. Schuler's claim and withdrew.
The President reported for the information of the Board that he
had received from Miles B. Kennedy an application to be appoint-
ed Acting Commissioner for the Food and Drugs and Weights and
Measures Department. As Mr. Dinsmore was expected to return at
an early date, he made no recommendation as to the application
from Mr. Kennedy and the same was ordered filed.
The President presented an application and letter from the
Christian Science Association, through the Secretary, Miss Sears,
that the Association be allowed to use the name adopted in their
constitution, viz: The Christian Science Association of the
University of Nevada. The President also stated to the Board
that this Society had asked permission to hold public lectures
in the interest of the Christian Science Church in a University
building, the Gymnasium, on the Campus, which permission he had
not granted.
A full discussion on the reasons of former Board action in re-
fusing to allow the name "University of Nevada" to be used in
connection with any religious or political society was held,
the law being that the University was non-sectarian. General
discussion was held also relative to free public propaganda
lectures being held on the Campus by speakers sent out by the
Mother Church.
The matter was then laid over until the afternoon session.
A letter from Mrs. Fulton thanking the Board for resolutions of-
fered on the death of Mrs. Ella S. Stubbs was read.
The President read a letter from Sardis Summerfield of Reno,
asking for permission to fish in the University Lake. It was
moved by Regent Pratt that the matter be left in the hands of
the President with power to act. Motion carried, all voting aye.
The President read to the Board letters from architects F. J.
De Longchamps and W. O. Lewis applying to be chosen architects
for the University in the building program.
The President presented a request coming from Librarian Layman
to the Governor, and the Governor's reply, relative to the print-
ing of the Biennial Report of the President and Regents for the
period ending December 31, 1915, which report had not yet been
printed. After some discussion as to the reason the report had
not been printed when due, the matter was laid over until the
afternoon session.
Board recessed at 12 o'clock to attend a luncheon given by the
Home Economics Department.
The Board reassembled at 3:15 P.M. with all members of the morn-
ing session present.
The Chairman of the Board reported that the key to the Washoe
County Bank Safe Deposit Box was delivered to Regent North and
he had asked Mr. North to file a memorandum of the contents of
the box with the Secretary for filing.
The matter of the Christian Science Association petition was
taken up and after further discussion the following motion was
offered by Regent Hood:
That the application of the Christian Science Society of
date January 17th, 1919, presented through the Secretary,
Miss Sears, coming up for consideration, the application
is denied and the action of the Board of Regents of Febru-
ary 12, 1917, in granting such permission and prohibiting
connection therewith is approved and the Board of Regents
is opposed to extending the privileges heretofore granted;
and further, the President of the University is permitted
to assign a room for the meeting of this Society provided
that such meetings are not to be invitation meetings either
to the Campus people or to the general public.
Motion was carried, vote standing:
Mr. Pratt Aye
Mrs. Hood Aye
Mr. Cheney Aye
Mr. North Aye
The Secretary of the Board having located the data with refer-
ence to the Schuler claim presented through Mr. Huskey at the
morning meeting, the Chairman suggested that this matter be taken
up again and handled, a summary of the finding being: That on
April 26, 1910, Mr. Schuler filed a bill covering items mentioned
in this claim except with a difference of $33, the claim of 1910
being for $1385.55 and not for $1424.54 as presented by Mr.
Huskey for Mr. Schuler. That the claim for $1385.55 was acknow-
ledged in a letter from former President Stubbs under date of
April 20th, 1910, with payments as follows:
Total April 17, 1909 $1385.55
On this we have a credit 705.32
leaving a balance of 680.23
Check being sent for 400.23
leaving a balance of 280.23
The sum of $280.23 is as much as was ever allowed by any previous
The findings of this Board then are that in the matter of the
application of Eugene Schuler for evidence that there was unpaid
to him $313.16 on a claim made by him April 1910, the Board upon
consideration of the same, finds that there is an unpaid balance
of $280.23 upon a claim of Eugene Schuler which was received and
filed April 26, 1910, which same claim appears to cover the same
items in the claim presented this date (March 11, 1919) and upon
which there is a balance of $280.23, as shown by a letter from
former President Stubbs of date April 20, 1910, and the present
Secretary is authorized to certify to that fact if it is so
The President reported to the Board the death of Mrs. W. A. Clark
Jr., the donor of the Katherine Hays Mc Manus Scholarship of $250
and stated that he was taking up a continuance of this scholar-
ship with Mr. Clark.
The Board returned to the matter of the printing of the Biennial
Report for the two years ending 1915, and it was moved by Mrs.
Hood that the Biennial Report of the Board of Regents and the
President for 1915 be printed and that the time of printing and
the number of copies to be published be left to the judgment of
the President. Vote:
Mr. Pratt Aye
Mrs. Hood Aye
Mr. Cheney Aye
Mr. North Aye
The President reported a gift of a display storage battery, a
considerable number of telegraph and telephone parts, switches
and wiring material and a collection of mounted pictures of
machines and machine sections for use in the lecture room, value
of gift estimated at $75, to the Engineering College from Mr.
Ralph A. Jones, now State Vocational Director, and formerly one
of the District Educational Directors for the Committee on Edu-
cation and Special Training.
The President reported that the bond for Mr. Gorman, Comptroller,
had been duly continued and that he had word to this effect from
Mr. C. R. Carter of the Insurance Department of the Washoe County
Bank, the bond being No. 7084-17 in the sum of $20,000 with the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty Co.
For the purpose of incorporating in the catalogue the President
recommended the following members of the Extension and Agricul-
tural Experiment Station staff, to become members on a part time
basis, of the College of Agriculture:
That V. E. Scott of the Extension staff be elected to be
Professor of Dairying with the understanding that he shall
give in each University year 1/2 of his time beginning with
the semester January 1920, and that for such 1/2 time he is
to receive from the University funds 1/2 of his annual sal-
ary, this 1/2 not to exceed $1200. It was also understood
that Professor Scott is to give some time looking after the
Dairy herds and the herd records.
That George Hardman, at present a member of the Experiment
Station staff, be elected Assistant Professor of Agronomy,
to give 1/2 time to the University beginning January 1920,
and that for such 1/2 time he is to receive from the Uni-
versity funds, 1/2 of his annual salary, this 1/2 not to
exceed $1200.
That C. E. Fleming of the Experiment Station staff is to
be Associate Professor of Animal Husbandry beginning with
the semester opening September 1920, and Mr. F. L. Bixby is
is to be Associate Professor of Agronomy beginning with the
semester January 1920. These last two men, Mr. Fleming and
Mr. Bixby, to have their compensation determined in accord-
ance with the courses and hours given and in accordance with
the system found in letter of January 28th to Mr. Gorman,
which is as follows:
1. Any man who devotes his entire time to teaching and
Departmental work in the University for a full Univer-
sity semester shall be paid from the University funds
for this teaching and Departmental work, 1/2 of his
regular annual salary, this 1/2 not to exceed $1200.
2. Any such man who is teaching, throughout one semester,
a two or three credit course in any Department of the
University shall be paid from the University funds and
for this teaching, 1/12 of his regular annual salary,
provided that such payment in no case shall exceed $200.
3. Any such man who is teaching, throughout one semester, a
four or five credit course in any Department of the Uni-
versity, shall be paid from University funds and for such
teaching during the semester, 1/6 of his regular annual
salary, provided that such payment of 1/6 of his salary
in no case exceed $400.
4. No such man shall receive any pay from the University
funds for teaching or Departmental work unless the course
or courses for which he is scheduled are actually given
by him.
The President had no definite recommendation as to courses and
pay to make at this time relative to Messrs. Bixby and Fleming,
but if in January these men are to give courses, he will then
make a recommendation to the Board.
It was moved that the recommendations of the President in respect
to Professor Scott, Assistant Professor Hardman, Associate Pro-
fessor Bixby and Associate Professor Fleming be approved. Motion
carried, vote standing:
Mr. Pratt Aye
Mrs. Hood Aye
Mr. Cheney Aye
Mr. North Aye
The President reported to the Board for their approval the action
of the University Senate by which action the University Senate is
to be superseded by the general University faculty which shall
consist of all persons of the rank of Instructor or above who
shall give instruction in any of the regular College Departments
and later that the Librarian, the Registrar and the President
should be members of this general faculty. There were two excep-
tions to this membership rule, as follows:
1. Any member of the faculty not teaching during any given
College year shall not have the privilege of voting in
faculty meetings during that year.
2. New appointees shall not have the right to vote until
one year after appointment, except those who may be ap-
pointed to the rank of full Professor or as Heads or
Acting Heads of a Department.
The report of the Committee on Committees designating the regular
committees of the University faculty was presented as follows:
1. Committee on Admission and Advanced Standing 3 members
2. Committee on Registration and Scholarship
To be composed of the Deans of the Schools of
Arts and Science, Agriculture and Engineering
with the Registrar as Secretary.
3. Committee on Schedules 3 members

of the University, the Dean of Women and the
Master of Lincoln Hall.
It was moved by Regent Pratt that the Board of Regents hereby
approve the organization of the University Faculty adopted by
the faculty in March 1919, to the effect that the University
Senate is superseded by the University Faculty, that the Council
of Administration disappears and the standing committees be as
outlined in the report, the members of these committees except
where specifically named to be appointed by the President.
Motion carried, all voting aye.
The President recommended that the University grant the sum of
$125 to cover the expense of entertaining the Club winners of
the Boys and Girls Club work, Extension Division at the Univer-
sity this coming year, and to buy prizes, etc. for the winners,
the same to be paid from the Regents' Contingent Fund.
It was moved by Mr. Pratt that the recommendation be approved,
vote being:
Mr. Pratt Aye
Mrs. Hood Aye
Mr. Cheney Aye
Mr. North Aye
The President gave a short summary report on the legislative
status and his efforts in behalf of the University with the mem-
bers of the Legislature and its various committees, the outlook
being reported as entirely satisfactory.
Plans for the Summer Session having been definitely made, the
President so reported to the Board.
The matter of Commencement speakers was discussed and names sug-
gested by the Chairman and other members.
The calendar for the coming year with the opening and closing
dates as follows, having been approved by the University Faculty
was offered for adoption:
Opening September 2, Close December 22, Open January 5-6,
1920, Close May 12.
It was moved by Mr. Pratt that the calendar as adopted by the
faculty be approved. Motion carried, all voting aye.
The members of the Board suggested the following desirable mem-
bers to the Honorary Board of Visitors and asked that the Pres-
ident send to the Governor to be considered by him when that
Board was named:
Mrs. Lucy Grimes Burton Fallon

The President reported that under a ruling of the War Depart-
ment's Committee on Education and Special Training, a bond should
be given and a person designated for the University who shall be
accountable for equipment, etc., issued to the University for the
use of the R. O. T. C., which bond would not need outside secu-
rity. The President stated that Mr. Gorman had been the respon-
sible person in the past who was accountable for supplies issued
to this University by the War Department and in whose favor the
bond should be made, and that it would be well for the Board to
designate Charles H. Gorman, Comptroller of the University, as
the accountable person and authorize him to execute a bond on
behalf of the Board of Regents of the University to cover the
equipment and supplies issued by the War Department to the Uni-
versity of Nevada for the R. O. T. C.
It was moved, seconded and carried that the President's recom-
mendation as above be approved.
The following proposed plan presented through the Librarian for
the Library Committee was recommended by the President for the
approval of the Board:
The University Library offers to purchase from Professors,
the publication of learned societies of which they may be
members under the following regulations:
1. Only publications needed by the Library will be pur-
chased and the question of need will be determined by
the Library Committee.
2. The University will not pay for any incomplete volume or
any undelivered number. All publications must be de-
livered in good condition currently as issued within
one month of receipt of the same except that the time
may be extended during the Summer vacation.
3. The Library will not buy the publications of more than
one learned society from any Professor, and ordinarily
it is expected that the Professor will offer the pub-
lications of a society which worthily represents his
Department of learning.
4. The price to be paid by the University shall not exceed
the membership fee paid by the Professor nor the price
it would pay by other methods of purchase.
5. The offer of purchase is made to all Heads of Depart-
ments as recognized in apportionment of Library funds.
6. In case a given publication is, with equal propriety,
offered by the Heads of two Departments, the privilege
of sale shall be decided on the basis of seniority of
It was moved by Mr. North that the recommendation be approved.
After some discussion question put and vote stood as follows:

An unpaid bill against Joe Scott for $20, of date October 30,
1918, for serum furnished by the Veterinary Department, and which
was thought by the Department as uncollectible, was on motion re-
ferred to the Executive Committee.
A petition from the Associated Students presented in resolutions
to the Board was read to the Board for formation of a hospital
association with compulsory medical fee, as follows:
WHEREAS, the student body is desirous of protecting the
health of the students of the University of Nevada,
WHEREAS, other Colleges have such a means of protecting
the health of the students,

tion of exemptions from the general rule. Following considerable
discussion, the plan was adopted in an amended form as following
for a year of trial operation.
1. That the University, as heretofore, would supply the
hospital building, fuel, light, furnishings and the
services of a matron free of charge to the students
provided the University shall in no event be liable
for medical service.
2. That a hospital fee could be fairly exacted only from
students who were away from home and should not be re-
quired of those living in Reno, Sparks or the immediate
vicinity. That it was not advisable to exact the fee
of Christian Scientists. That only those paying the
fee would be members of the University Hospital Associ-
ation and as such be entitled to its benefits.
3. That with a normal University registration the Associ-
ation should have a membership of from 150 to 200 stu-
4. That between $200 and $300 would be needed per year to
provide for medicines, linen, laundry, special articles
of diet and general hospital expenditures.
5. That the greater part of the remainder of the fund
should be applied to securing the regular services
of a physician who would have stated office hours at
the University during which members of the Association
might consult him for advice and treatment. He shall
also have the duty of giving the necessary medical
attention to any member of the Association who may be
confined as a patient in the University Hospital.
6. That other medical services such as those required in
making physical examinations of students for courses
in physical training should be paid for by the Uni-
versity Departments of Physical Training.
7. That any medical services to those injured in athletic
contests should be paid for out of the athletic funds.
8. Special nursing, operations or other special medical
attention should be paid for by the individual con-
9. That treatment for venereal disease should not be paid
for out of this fund but should be considered an indi-
vidual liability.
10. Cases of illness which are indefinitely prolonged shall
not be treated in the University Hospital for longer
time than is necessary for the physician to be assured
that the case will require indefinitely prolonged treat-
11. If there is a surplus in the fund created by hospital
fees at the end of any University year, rebates to each
student member of the Hospital Association proportion-
ate to that student's contribution for the year and in
total amount sufficient to equal the surplus shall be
12. The Committee in charge shall be authorized to require
satisfactory evidence that any student claiming to be
a Christian Scientist is a member of a Christian Sci-
entist Church.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

Ice Skates Care and Maintenance
As soon as off of the ice but nonetheless carrying ice skates, generally and without any fail wear plastic-type material or silicone skate guards on the ice skate cutting blades. Skate safeguards protect the blades from rough surfaces and grit that can rapidly wreck a well-sharpened blade. Keep skate safeguards close to the ice and set them on the skate blades if you already only intend to be off the ice for a few minutes. Offer care to your pair of ice skates and when they are not outgrown they should keep going for a good while. Let your preservation program go and an individual's high-priced ice skates may very well be messed up inside weeks or weeks.
Because they're usually come across moisture when you find yourself ice skating, the ice skates blades require the almost all immediate and careful routine maintenance. The moment ice skates blades set out to corrode it's tough, or even difficult to solve damages. The most beneficial remedy for corrosion on ice skate blades is elimination. Ice skates blades need to be physically dried out soon after ice skating. Utilize one or two pretty absorbing golf size terry fabric towels to diligently rub along the metal plate, the blades, as well as the boot, paying explicit focus on the metal elements of the ice skate. Never result in skate wipe down for later. Even so, if you're not wearing your ice skates, tend not to depart skate guards around the blades. Guards are designed only reserved for walking and ought to actually be on your skates limited to quick intervals. They can capture unwelcome moisture content up against the ice skates blades even though you may aren't near the ice.
As soon as at home, don't keep ice skates inside their travel carrier. Remove them quickly from their handbag to ensure that the leather together with the metal parts will be able to air dry out. Undo the laces and draw the tongue for each boot somewhat forward. Set the skates to their edges using a dried out soft towel so they do not contact. Permit them to air dried up in the place where they will be subjected to daylight but past direct sunlight and faraway from any heat source, that should dry up and fracture the leather. Anytime all obvious humid have been stripped away http://www.usfsa.org/default.asp from the ice skates, cover the blades with cloth blade covers. For no reason use cheap or rubberized ice skate protects as blade covers for storing. Skate guards are specifically for walking only. They can lure any left over wetness, simply the dampness in the air, from the steel skate blade. This can only motivate oxidation. A high quality high-quality fabric ice skate covering is made having an moisture resistant liner to wick any remaining dampness off the metal blade. It'll likewise be cushioned to safety net the skates if they are carried inside a skate handbag.
Sometimes give dry up ice skates blades an easy topcoat of petroleum jelly or car paste wax to help promote protect the steel from corrosion. Living inside a damp local climate and are positioning your ice skates up for the summer seasons, ensure you wax the blades and make use of the lowest amount of monsoon space you can locate for storage. Preserve ice skates separately, each in the own towel or toweling case to enable them to breathe and you should not ruin one another. Carrying cases for skate pairs are prepared for carrying ice skates, not for storage space. Keep away from attaching ice skates by their blades since this leads to the blades to pull away from the boot soles. Never stand them with their blades on the floor of any dark storage room, which often harm the contour of your boot.

Training for Master's Students
Policy on Disclosure of Personal Information in Training
In order to be in compliance with the 2002 APA Ethics Code (Ethical Standard 7.04), we want current and future trainees to be aware of our approach to the disclosure of personal information in the course of training.
An important component of our training program is the intersection between the personal and professional. Therefore, our training model incorporates a strong emphasis on self- exploration and reflection. We believe that effectiveness in all aspects of professional functioning is related to one's ability to reflect on oneself, one's interpersonal and personal dynamics and the history from which these dynamics emerge. Thus professional functioning can be either enhanced or hindered by one's development, or lack thereof, in these essential areas. Consequently, an objective of our training program is to assist trainees at all levels within the Center to explore the qualities and dynamics he or she brings to interpersonal encounters as well as how these dynamics impact their various interactions. We intend that interns and other trainees will engage in the process of recognizing, improving and employing those personal qualities that will assist in forming effective working relationships with clients, peers, other staff and other members of the university community.
With the above in mind, supervisors and trainers are expected to assist trainees in exploring their personal impact, qualities and histories and how these may either facilitate or hinder any psychological intervention or professional relationship. This will require trainees to reflect on and disclose personal information that may be informative about their interpersonal dynamics in such relationships. It is our aim that such disclosure will be done within a supervisory or training relationship characterized by trust, safety and respect. Also the exploration of personal qualities or histories will be carried out with a focus on enhancing the trainee's effectiveness in a professional relationship with clients, peers, supervisees, staff or members of the university community. The purpose of such exploration will neither be for doing "quasi-therapy" nor any other inappropriate purpose.
If the trainee feels there is insufficient safety, trust or respect in the supervisory or training relationship, he or she has the right to refuse to disclose personal information. Should this occur, the supervisor or trainer is expected to respect such refusal and then explore ways in which the relationship can be improved so that personal disclosures can occur more effectively. Our hope is that the trainee can express their concerns to the supervisor or training staff. If not they should bring their concerns to the training leadership. Furthermore, the supervisor or trainer is expected to carry out all such exploration with the trainee in a manner that is perceived as collegial and growth-enhancing versus coercive.

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Are Officially Married & Brad Pitt Is Looking Super Sexy Once Again
On Saturday. So like, 5 days ago. And nobody knew about until today. And that friends, is what you call mad privacy skillz. We got our first glimpse at married Brad today as he promoted Fury in England. If you'll notice he's not wearing beige, his hair looks great and that wedding band is working on him. So maybe he just needed to get married to be hot again.
Now let's talk about that wedding.
According to the couple's reps, Angelina was walked down the aisle by sons Maddox and Pax, while Zahara and Vivienne threw flowers and Knox and Shiloh carried the rings. It was quite the family affair.
Sources revealed to E! News that the couple spent their honeymoon "enjoying Miraval and how much space they have now." Apparently they're looking to donate to a charity to celebrate the milestone. So what's next for them? "Brad is now in England while Angelina is in Gozo preparing for shooting on the movie they're doing together." So as soon as all this Fury stuff is over, they'll be back together celebrating marital bliss.
George Clooney would be getting married this weekend. It was the perfect cover. George issued a statement to People saying, "How great is that? I'm really happy for Brad and Angie and their whole family." Also also, hot Brad is seriously way hot.
Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of Brad's wedding ring and his sudden hotness. So, do we think this is one Hollywood marriage that's built to last? Leave us your thoughts in the comments below!

Simple cheap semi auto gun for coyote
Nanook of the north
December 13, 2011, 07:00 PM
Just looking for a simple semi auto gun for coyote No bells and whistles. Any ideas?
December 13, 2011, 07:03 PM
December 13, 2011, 07:29 PM
December 13, 2011, 07:40 PM
Maybe you should just avoid them.
December 13, 2011, 08:34 PM
SKS or maybe a saiga 223 depending on the range.
December 13, 2011, 08:41 PM
Marlin model 60 ..... available at your LGS, used, starting around $100.
December 13, 2011, 09:21 PM
Define inexpensive. That's a relative term. A Chevy Cobalt is an inexpensive vehicle but it's still over 10 grand.
If <$600 bucks isn't too much I'd look at a DPMS Sportical AR15. Outside of that an AK, SKS, M1 Carbine, Mini30, really any centerfire autoloader will be fine. They aren't particularly hard to kill.
For me, you'd need to define your budget a little better before I could offer any real help.
Deja vu
December 13, 2011, 09:36 PM
if you are looking for cheep remember to find some thing with cheep bullets too. There are very cheep guns out there that you can not find bullets for with out spending $50.00 or more a box.
I would go with a rim fire or a 223 or a pistol caliber carbine.
December 14, 2011, 08:32 AM
Define cheap. Any semi 22 LR you like will get the job done at close range, but at the ranges a 22 rimfire will work, I'd be using a shotgun. For longer range work there are lots of AR's being used for long range varmit shooting. That is what I use as well as most of my friends. You can get into an AR for around $600 now.
Art Eatman
December 14, 2011, 09:02 AM
IMO, an up-close minimum would be a .22 magnum rimfire. For the more likely ranges, a .223. Group size is relatively unimportant to 100 yards, from a practical standpoint.
I've never had an opportunity for any sort of second shot on Ol' Wily if I missed the first one. He has this fantastic ability to be elsewhere in a heartbeat. :D That "rapid second shot" means you'll likely hit where he was, not where he is or will be.
December 14, 2011, 10:05 AM
Hi-point 9mm Carbine or 12ga shotgun. Not gonna bust em at 200 or 300 yards with those so if that's a requirement you're gonna have to step up to a Savage or Stevens bolt action in one of many fine .224 caliber centerfires. Possibly an H&R single shot.
Rimfires? No way.
December 14, 2011, 03:12 PM
If I were to buy a gun for the purpose of coyotes specifically, it would have to be a bolt gun or a single shot as Art says, with a caliber depending on expected ranges.
I use a mini14, but I use it for blasting coke cans as well.
December 15, 2011, 07:07 AM
If you want inexpensive, you might be able to find a used Remington 7400 or 742 in .243 Win or .308. I will probably work as well as any semi-auto for coyotes, provided minimal pelt damage isn't required. I've fired 7400s that will shoot 1 1/4" groups or smaller at 100 yards.
I'm with Art about liking bolt guns and have used .22 WMR, .223 Rem, .243 Rem, .270 Win rifles to shoot eastern coyotes. They all work, but I don't worry about saving coyote pelts on the tree farm, just deer and other wildlife.
December 15, 2011, 10:39 AM
I've never had an opportunity for any sort of second shot on Ol' Wily if I missed the first one. He has this fantastic ability to be elsewhere in a heartbeat. That "rapid second shot" means you'll likely hit where he was, not where he is or will be.
Agreed. And for that reason I would not limit myself to searching for just semi-auto guns especially if I was trying to save money. The .223 caliber is about perfect for Coyotes and there are some very cheap bolt actions out there that will easily shoot well enough to smoke coyotes as far as you can hold true. And in the same vein as what Art said, I can tell you that a bolt action or semi-auto will make no difference. Any solid hit with a .223 on a yote and a second shot won't be needed. If the first shot misses a second shot won't be feasible. Trust me.
December 15, 2011, 10:44 AM
saiga in .223/7.62/5.45
$299 most places online and ammo is cheap. Plus it doesnt get more reliable then that for a semi auto.
December 15, 2011, 12:55 PM
Ditto the Saiga. Not pinpoint accurate, but with a decent scope should work.
kenny g
December 15, 2011, 01:41 PM
this just might follow me home..
or maybe this one..
I really don't see that many coyotes on the farm here but we sure have plenty of other furry little varmints to shoot :D :D
December 18, 2011, 11:52 PM
I've used a mini 14 for several years now and really like it. Shoots into 1 1/4" all day long and with the Sierra 65 grain gamemasters it kills yotes real dead real fast.
December 21, 2011, 01:14 AM
Handi-rifle !! pick your caliber !! 223, 22-250, 243, ...etc
Oops!! not a semi !! but cheap !!
December 21, 2011, 11:00 AM
a WASR? thats what we use lol when the yote's come in it sounds like a warzone.

Wednesday afternoon marked the start of Phi Sigma Sigma's annual Rock-A-Thon in the University Mall.
Held every year since their chapter's colonization in 1996, an estimated $1,100 was raised from the event.
The money goes to the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation, which benefits the National Kidney Foundation.
"This is my second time being a part of Rock-A-Thon," Veronica Sepulveda, philanthropy co-chairwoman, said.
"It is my first time actually organizing the event and now I see how hard it really is being on the other side of things."
The event consisted of a mix of events being hosted to entertain guests.
The entire time the women of the sorority were sitting on rocking chairs from noon on Wednesday until noon Thursday greeting passerbys.
Members alternated sitting in the chairs throughout the events duration.
"Each sister sits in the chair for at least half an hour, but it is usually more," Alexis Chavarin, Co-Philanthropy Chair said.
"The event started off with six chairs but one broke so now we are down to five," Chavarin said.
This was not the only setback the women had to push through in order to successfully put on the event.
Rock-a-thon was originally scheduled to be hosted at the Rock outside Founders Hall but because the rock area is now restricted due to the grass dying, the venue was forced to change last minute.
Another glitch, was that the power that was running their crock pots and their popcorn machine kept going out.
The organization rolled with the punches and adapted to any sudden changes that had to be made.
Throughout the 24 hour period, the sorority hosted an event called "Pie-a-Phi" twice to allow attendees to buy a pie and hit a member of Phi Sigma Sigma in the face.
Such intriguing and fun attractions made sure to keep a steady flow of people coming to and from the event.
All were welcome to join and there were even special times put aside so specific communities could come and show support.
"I wanted to come out and show support to my fellow Greeks," Ashley Guererro, sophomore child development major and member of Alpha Omicron Pi, said. "It is also a really fun way to socialize and just have fun."
Money was raised with the sale of nachos, popcorn, hotdogs and refreshments.
The smaller events that happened also contributed along with individual donations.
Donations came from local businesses and individual patrons.
Sponsors for the event included Jamba Juice, Red Hill Gas and Unikuely Yours.
There were also raffles held that gave away donated items such as gift cards to various stores and restaurants along with items from local Claremont businesses.
"We have been working on this since the beginning of August and have been looking for sponsors since September," Sepulveda said.
Phi Sigma Sigma's next big event will be a talent show set to take place in November.
They will be hosting it in partnership with the Latino Student Forum and encourage all to join.

I decided to breastfeed both my kids, and so far have been lucky enough to do so without any problems (thanks to some fantastic advice from my hospital midwife after the Big Monkey was born).
I know it's not possible for a lot of women, despite their best intentions, so I'm really grateful that I can.
But this doesn't mean I always find breastfeeding easy. Because, despite telling us, over and over, that we should breastfeed if possible, society still makes it bloody hard to put into practise.
I was shopping in my local high street shopping centre the other day with the two monkeys and it came time for the littlest one to have her lunch. I wandered to the nearest coffee shop, but it was very open, and there was a table of elderly men who, I'm sure, wouldn't have been too impressed if I started feeding (albeit, very discreetly).
The second cafe was too crowded to navigate the double stroller, so I ended up heading back upstairs to my last resort – the women's toilets. By now bubs was hungry, and wailing.
The regular toilets only had single stalls – no chance of fitting the double stroller inside. I checked out the shopping centre baby change room. DO NOT FEED YOUR BABY IN HERE a sign announced. Not that I couldn't have anyway, as the room was already full with two other mums and their buggies, babies, and assorted toddlers.
I waited outside for a few minutes, the baby's cries getting louder and more insistent. Then I spotted the disabled toilet, and asked the attendant to unlock the door, so I could use it.
The woman attendant stared at me for a while. 'That's the baby changing room,' she said, pointing at the other door.
'Yes, I know,' I replied. 'But it's full.'
'You can't change your baby in there, it's a toilet,' she continued.
I couldn't be bothered explaining that I wanted to feed the little one, and didn't think it was her business anyway, so I told her I needed to use the facilities.
She kept staring. 'But I just saw you in the other toilet,' she went on. Who the hell was she, the loo police??
'Can you just let me in please?' I said again, getting really annoyed now.
'But I just saw you in there,' she repeated, pointing to the ladies.
'Look,' I finally snapped. 'I want to feed my baby, OK?'
'You can't feed her in there,' she said again. 'It's a toilet.'
No shit Sherlock. What gave it away – the loo paper dispenser? The sign on the door that read: Toilet?
'Well, where can I feed her then?' I said, through gritted teeth.
She shrugged. 'We don't have a feeding room,' she answered.
Aaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!! Hence me being forced to feed my poor starving baby in a dingy disabled toilet! I wanted to scream.
I was so annoyed and embarrassed, and felt the tears looming. So instead of pointing out the ridiculousness of the situation, I just stormed off. Of course, bubs was still hungry, so instead of finishing my shopping (and netting the centre some more moolah – isn't that what they should be encouraging in a recession????) I had to cut our trip short and go home.
It's these moments that make me look enviously at Mums bottle feeding their babies. At least they don't have to worry about flashing their bits, or making people feel uncomfortable, or getting disapproving glares from old biddies, simply for giving their little one their lunch.
I just don't understand why mothers aren't better catered for in modern shopping centres – especially since SAH and WAH Mums make up the huge majority of their customers during the week.
Does anyone else get frustrated by the lack of facilities when they're out and about?
Anyway, that's my rant over with for now. Don't even get me started on the high street shoe shop that has no lift, yet has its children's department down a steep, narrow flight of stairs…

Hi all, my husband is about to graduate AIT so I am a very new Army wife. I have two children a 17 month old and a 3.5 year old my 17 month old has no vaxes and my 3.5 had her first set, her 2nd Dtap and then her MMR at 7 months before I finally decided to stop all together. I'm not completely against vaxing but I am so torn I don't want to make a choice as of now especially not for my son. I would like to move on base if we do get stationed at Fort Bragg but I would also like to be able to work out and drop my children off at the child care just like I do at the local Y now. Can anyone tell me how Fort Bragg is specifically on this? Also there is the chance that we may get Germany how does going overseas work with not having them vaxed can we be turned down? And then again the child watch issue? I have read somewhere that I need a letter from the Chief or something like that?? That totally loses me who would that be and how would I go about getting that? I say for religious reasons and I don't mind holding to that we are Jewish and I have heard of some people not vaxing in the Jewish religion but sometimes I feel so lost when people ask me why since I don't really have a religious answer maybe someone can help me with some advance advice on that too lol. Thank you for any knowledge you may have on these areas.
We're not in the Army but my husband is a civilian employee. He was told that our child could not go to daycare there unless he was fully vaxed and there were no exemptions. Make some calls and see what kind of answers you get, maybe if you push there are exemptions. All NC schools and daycares do offer religious exemption. The federal gov gets to make it's own rules though. Good Luck!

Might want to check out post from Morpheus/lauries lounge/raw food diet. I went to the link http://www.lupusgirlgoesraw.com/ and printed out the book she wrote A JOURNEY OF AMAZING HEALING, it takes me a while to read and absorbe the information so I havn't got very far, so far it is very interesting. If it continues to sound good I think I will try it, doesn't seem like things could get much worse, I pray for Gods guidence and healing. I will try to keep posted on what happens( if I can remember to ).
I was told that I could possibly have lupus the other day. The ANA was 1:640. From the history of my blood work, it has been that way since 2001. The amazing thing is that I hardly ever got sick, besides having epilepsy. I am a vegetarian. I just really don't like meat, and have been that way since I was a child. I avoid caffeine and chocolate because of the seizures. I also eat about a tablespoon of coconut oil everyday. Now I'm wondering if I haven't really suffered unknowingly because of my diet?
misscotton - That's very interesting, I wouldn't be surprised if you're on to something there!
I think the rest of you are probably right as well, I suppose if I don't overdo it with the coffee and sweets, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Everything in moderation, right? I have found though that since I've started the Plaquenil, I can't really tolerate alcohol anymore... Not only does it take less to effect me, but if I have more than say 1 or 2 beers or 1 glass of wine, I start getting nasty headaches and it's just not worth it anymore! I suppose that ought to aid a bit in the whole trying to lose some weight endeavor! (I hope..)
BTW Marla, chocolate and coffee are two vices I will never give up either. I like both dark, and really strong.
As I sit here drinking a nice strong Grasshopper - thankfully, I don't seem to be having any problem with having a few drinks and taking Plaquenil. I just make sure that I don't drink on the day of my MTX injection or for a couple of days after.
We live in the middle of California wine country. I'd be very upset if I couldn't imbibe!
I'm half Irish myself, and the other half is Dutch. Is it a stereotype if it's actually true? (I've been known to imbibe in my past-just a little!) However, I've found that Plaquenil does not agree with alcohol, bummer.
I agree, chocolate and peanut butter is awesome. I prefer Hersheys Dark for dipping, and Jif Creamy is the way to go as far as P.B.! It's probably really bad for you, but many things don't taste good these days, so I suppose I have an excuse to indulge.
The Plaquenil does seem to be helping out with the fatigue lately, so I'm thinking I'll try to start some light exercise soon. Hopefully that will kick start it.

Merry Christmas, Titans fans and Total Titans readers!
Santa has brought us all a great present. With just one regular season game remaining, the Titans are in position to earn a wildcard berth with a win Sunday. It's been a long time, too long, since the Titans have been in the playoffs, and this year's overachieving team is on the verge of doing so.
Of course, it wouldn't be Christmastime without a grinch, and the Indianapolis Colts will try to fill that role this year by stealing the Titans' Christmas present.
Head grinch Tony Dungy may be resting a few of his players after the first quarter but that's no reason to think this game will be a cakewalk for Tennessee. There's nothing the Colts would like more than to beat a division rival and knock them out of the playoffs.
I can't wait to see the would-be grinches get their butts kicked Sunday. The only thing I won't like about it is we'll see some backups taking the brunt of the whipping.
When he came to my house, Santa brought me some various Titans goodies. One was a 2008 Titans calendar, which unfortunately once again showed little foresight in its preparation. Lamont Thompson, whose future with the team was in doubt this summer, will be the ex-Titan featured in July. Ex-Titan to be Ben Troupe, who has contributed little for the second year in a row, will be Mr. April.
Not a problem for me, though. I'll just take a page from my 2007 calendar and tape it up over Thompson's and Troupe's pictures when April and July roll around. The other ten months feature some good players who will be here.
Titans fans, did Santa bring you anything interesting this year? Here's your chance to tell us if Santa thought you were good this year.
Merry Christmas, Titans fans and Total Titans readers!

It smells enchanting and heady like a tuberose garland. Very mild and moisturizing, it can even be used as a face wash. I've tried that since the smell was so good. It suits my ultra-sensitive skin like a charm. I love the tuberose range and hope to see a tuberose mist soon.

LONDON — As the first of a battery of inquiries into Britain's burgeoning sexual abuse scandal opened in a parliamentary committee room on Tuesday, lawmakers reacted with stunned incredulity and barely disguised anger as they sought answers to the painful questions being asked in every living room, commuter train and pub in the country.
How could this have happened, over decades, without action to stop it? How could some of the country's most respected institutions — among them the BBC, the National Health Service, police forces in London and other areas, as well as the national prosecuting authority — have failed to bring the accused man to book? How could so many vulnerable young girls and boys — more than 200, according to the police — have been exposed to such vileness, for so long,and so blatantly, without anybody stepping in to help them?
The occasion was the opening of hearings by the House of Commons committee on culture, media and sport, and the matter at hand cascading revelations in the past month that have portrayed one of Britain's most beloved television hosts, Jimmy Savile, who died last year at 84, as an insatiable pedophile, a predator who abused teenagers in children's homes, in hospitals for the emotionally disturbed, in BBC dressing rooms yards from stage sets where he made himself a national idol.
The leadoff witness before the parliamentary panel was George Entwistle, director general of the BBC. In his job barely a month, he is likely to be followed by a host of officials from the BBC and other institutions caught up in the scandal who seem sure to be called as witnesses before the parliamentary panel, a police investigation and two inquiries by the BBC.
Mr. Entwistle acknowledged the damage the revelations have done to the BBC, an institution that many in Britain regard as a repository of much that is best in the country. "One can't look back with anything but horror that his activities went on as long as they did undetected," he said at the hearing. There was no question, he said, that what Jimmy Savile had done — and that the BBC culture had allowed to happen — "will raise questions of trust and reputation for us."Continue reading the main story
The extent to which the scandal has shaken the country from its moorings was captured by the sight of one of the BBC's own political correspondents reporting live from outside the hearing and comparing the elusive testimony of Mr. Entwistle, the reporter's ultimate boss, to that given last year by James Murdoch. Mr. Murdoch's stewardship of his father's media empire in Britain ended, effectively, when he was grilled by the same committee last year as it investigated the phone hacking scandal that has convulsed News Corporation.
Other events during the day enhanced the sense that the scandal has the potential to force far-reaching change in a cultural climate that many commentators here have described as slow to respond to accusations of sexual abuse, especially when they have involved people in authority or with the power of celebrity. Without waiting for the inquiries to be completed, two charities established by Mr. Savile and bearing his name, dedicated to raising funds for the poor and the sick, announced that they were shutting down, and would distribute their funds to other charities.
After Mr. Entwistle struggled to give a precise answer to the lawmakers' questions about other instances of sexual abuse uncovered by the BBC, the broadcaster issued a statement saying that it was aware of allegations involving nine other current or former staff members or contributors, whom it did not name, and that it had referred the cases to the police. One may have been the 1970s pop star Gary Glitter, a convicted child sex abuser who was named in an investigative documentary broadcast by the BBC on Monday as having been accused of abusing young people in BBC studios while performing on one of Mr. Savile's shows.
In another development that prompted comparisons with the phone hacking scandal that has embroiled the Murdoch empire, there were fresh signs that inquiries into the Savile scandal may rely heavily on the e-mail trails left by important witnesses.
Channel 4 television reported Tuesday that it had seen an e-mail from a BBC reporter, Liz Mackean, in which she said the editor of "Newsnight," Peter Rippon, who had shelved an investigative report she was working on, had diminished the seriousness of Mr. Savile's abuse by saying of the victims, "The girls were teenagers, not too young," and, "They weren't the worst kind of sexual offenses."
The decision to kill the investigation by "Newsnight" drew much of the lawmakers' ire at the hearing. Mr. Rippon was forced to step aside from his "Newsnight" post on Monday, the first BBC casualty of the scandal, after Mr. Entwistle decided that there were unspecified "inaccuracies" in a blog post by Mr. Rippon defending his decision. In the blog, Mr. Rippon said journalistic concerns about the conclusiveness of the case by "Newsnight" against Mr. Savile, not management pressure, had caused him to halt the investigation.
At its core, the scandal has centered on the extensive evidence, some of the most compelling laid out in the documentary broadcast on Monday, that many people at the BBC and other institutions Mr. Savile frequented knew or strongly suspected from the 1960s on that he was a serial sexual predator. The program suggested that he felt sufficiently protected by his status against any would-be accusers that he joked and boasted about it.
The parliamentary committee focused on more recent issues, including the role of top BBC executives in acquiescing in Mr. Rippon's decision to kill the investigation by "Newsnight" in the last weeks of 2011. Mr. Entwistle, then the BBC's television chief, said he first heard of the "Newsnight" story when the head of BBC News warned him that it might require the cancellation of several tribute programs on Mr. Savile set to run over Christmas.
Mr. Entwistle said he had not asked the subject of the program's investigation so as not to infringe on a BBC management policy of giving program editors full autonomy. That drew astonished responses from committee members, one of whom suggested that his lack of curiosity bordered on "willful blindness."
Ben Bradshaw, a former BBC reporter who is a panel member, offered a withering rebuke to Mr. Entwistle. "You have to get a grip," he said.Continue reading the main story

1957. Italy was having a ball. La dolce vita was in full swing and Italians were on the up and up. Along came the original Fiat 500, or Cincuecento, to enliven things that much more. It's hard to understand nowadays how exciting it is to see a nation get motorized, but the 500 helped Italians along and get over the World War doldrums.
Now, you Americans will be able to get a taste of that fabled time in recent Italian history. Fiat has cooked up an even more retro 500, Called the 1957 Edition, which seems to be an American special.
If you get it, you'll be able to enjoy Fiat's Multiair 1.4 16v engine good for 105 ponies mated to a manual or an auto 6 speed. More important than that, this special edition features a brown leather interior with sand colored details. Exterior colors are very 50-ish too: baby blue, water light green and white. The wheels are a modern take on 50s hubcaps and are 16 inches. According to sources, the suspension is calibrated in a more sporting set up. Finally, Fiat logos are done in the style of the 50s.
To be even more perfect I'd have called it Edizione 1957 to complete the Italian-ness. Call me jealous.

Good Morning, Marcelo!
Yes, the pastel shades of light blue and green are always my favorites. Actually, I'd seriously think of directing my wife's attention to one of these after checking the crash ratings, but we'd have to drive 150 miles to the nearest dealership.
BTW, the 16″ standard wheels show that Fiat understands American tastes:

Rode in a rental Pop-level automatic. Better than I thought it would be, certainly equal to the new small Chevy's. Not sure how it will hold up long term, however.
The only weird part was two average-size guys have their shoulders pressed together. You can feel the narrow much more than in something like a Mini.

Heh. It's a good thing they didn't re-issue the original, much smaller 500 of 1957. In that one, for a gear change the guys would have to know each other really well. I imagine it would work great with a female teenage hitchhiker. BTW, has anyone even seen someone hitchhiking anymore?
krhodes1November 15th, 2013 at 1:02 pm
I own a '13 Abarth. It has officially now been the most reliable new car I have bought, 0 issues in 9 months, beating my BMW which had 1. Very solid car. I've had the non-turbos as rentals and loved them but I wanted to Autocross it (which it does very well) and the Abarth is the only one allowed to race. No rattles or squeaks, even with the much firmer Abarth suspension. About the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
I LOVE this special edition – make mine green! My biggest disappointment in the Abarth are the lame color choices.
To put the size in perspective, it has just about exactly the same interior room as the '84 Jetta GLI I drove in college. Probably more back seat room actually. it is no narrower inside than an old Saab 900.

The "GQ" and "GUCCI" editions are even more right out of a Sophia Loren movie. Those are chrome trim rings that I thought were white walls. The price looks to be about $20K based on what it comes with. No cabrio option at this point, but it really needs one

Honest question: what do you think is wrong with the Fiat Multiair?
Login to reply
LorenzoNovember 15th, 2013 at 1:54 pm
It's not what's wrong with the Multiair, it's that the Cruze 1.4T has 33 more horsepower. 138 hp over 105 hp is a BIG difference in a small car. I think the main purpose of the Multiair is to get the CO2 level down below the proposed 95 grams/km in Europe, not power output.

danio3834November 15th, 2013 at 2:08 pm
MultiAir does have a lot of emissions advantages, like internal EGR where they can open the intake valve whenever they want on the exhaust stroke. But it also has power and fuel economy gains because the intake valves don't have to run on a fixed cam profile. Think if it as VTEC, but with many many different profiles instead of just 2.
The 1.4T in the 500 scoots. In the heavier Dart, the main complaint seems to be that it feels sluggish under 3000rpm, which is understandable as it needs to build more boost to move the metal. Once the steam is on, it pulls pretty good in that car IMO.
We haven't even begun to see the potential of MultiAir yet. Just wait until it's combined with Direct Injection and Turbocharging.
Login to reply
November 15th, 2013 at 3:00 pm
agreed with danio. Pretty much all engineers i've ever talked to seem enamored of the Multiair and see a long career ahead of it. GM's unit seems more traditional though there's certainly nothing wrong with it.
danio3834November 15th, 2013 at 3:07 pm
It had a ton of development behind it before it was introduced, something like 11 years in the making with Fiat. And that was for the basic version. So they aren't about to cast it aside. It's very complex to calibrate, but with time will see more and more improvements.
SCE to AUXNovember 15th, 2013 at 6:16 pm
Having driven the 1.4 in the 500, I found it to be a dog with very poor throttle response – it had to be thrashed to go. Likewise, the 1.4T in the Dart is also very sluggish.

Puhleeze. 160HP/170 lb. ft. for the 500 Abarth and 135HP for the 500 Turbo. Power comes on early and stays on.
I've driven the Chevy… some historical perspective: great for a small Chevy, but not in the same class as the Abarth.

That's pretty sweet, especially with the historical context. But like the early years of the Miata, people who had no concept of cars like the Elan just derided it as a "chick car" for a decade or so.

Racing stripes, a power bulge on the hood and flame decals take care of that. Did the SEMA shindig have any 500s?

I remember when the first pickups with automatics were called "chick trucks", and Mercedes SLs with automatics were called "trophy wives' cars". It'll pass.

I bought a 2013 MB E350 BlueTec for my wife and it's a wonderful, comfortable car, excellent for long drives along the California coast (well, just about anyplace, lol). But it doesn't put a smile on my face like the one I sport while driving my '12 Abarth or my '81 X1/9, for that matter.
Chevy Cruze? Better than a Cavalier. Chevy Sonic? Better than a Chevette. Different strokes for different folks.

i'm not really going to knock on the latest round of small chevies since i'm 42 yrs old and these have been the only chevies that over that relatively long life span have been the only chevies i've took a shining to. This Fiat is different. Call me a disbeliever when it came out. It's made a convert out of me. Like the original, it's classless in the sense the driver could be anything from a millionaire to a walking, working stiff. Therein lies the cimcuecento's charm. It's a car for literally everybody. Everybody with a pulse, non sequitor.

Cost option donut or standard puncture repair kit?
The Gucci was only in black or white – but I liked the concept. Does cabrio add to highway noise & vibration? Would take the powder blue. Is this sourced from the new polski place? There's an unlucky country in 1957. Much better to be Italy surrendered and half bombed to bits then live under communism or Spanish/Portuguese baby IKE hugged dictatorships. Couldn't see IKE or RMN together in this car.

From what I'm seeing it'll be built in Mexico and sold only in the US and Canada.
