By MARTIN ABELSON Heads tin<l Superiority Dr. Isidor Llicvinc, aullior of lliat transiently suppressed work—Ariadne— has turned anthropologist. Lhevine has left for some savage island, where tlicy practice shrinking heads. Folk of that island, it sccnis, may start out needing a hat, size seven, and end vip with a bonnet of an inch less. , I have read somewhere that Hippoc¬ rates, the father of medicine, gives some prescriptions for achieving varia¬ tions in the size of the head. But some first hand accounts of whole people do¬ ing it should prove interesting. Perhaps Dr. Lhevine will introduce a new vogue in civih'zation.' Maybe, the women folk of the future when they visit the beau¬ tician will be asked: "Would you care to have your head done over ? Wouldn't you like a topper just a little more doli¬ chocephalic than your present noodle?" Heads Don't Alwaya Win Up to now, the dolichocephalic (long headed) people have been doing a lot of boasting at the expense of tbe brachiacc- phalic (broad headed); The long head is one of the greatest sources of pride^ to the Nordic braggarts. Tbe long head, they tell us, is the sign of superiority. , Broad and round heads are the charac¬ teristics of inferior people. I have searched for reasons for their conclusion and can only find that the long heads have concluded that tlicy are : superior by the simple geometry of ad¬ mitting it. They admit they are superior. Weil, I.don't know—maybe the long heads arc superior. But all 1 want them to do is to explain the fact that the broad heads and round heads include such figures as Beethoven, Plato, Na¬ poleon, Pascal—Shall I go aiid add to the list? No. Let them answer as to these first, and then. I'll give them a few more. Some More Theorizing Am.azing is the human efifort to prove one type superior to the next. Our good friend, Arthur Brisbane, was in the habit of semi-annually, oracle-like issuing a pronunciamentd that superior people have blue eyes. Havelocfc Ellis once came forth with the statement that the genius is either short in stature or tall. ' A middle sized man could be no genius. From which, all I can gather is that Brisbane hasv blue eyes and Ellis is not middle sized. Lombroso was sure that the genius was always a degenerate. Freud, that the genius is irierely the offshoot of an inferiority complex. Dr. Watson, the bchaviorist, says it all rests on the un- striped viscera. Moreover, Watson says at birth, all stand on a i>arlty. Since tfie days of Rufus Choatc, we have been in the habit of describing that phrase of the Declaration of. Independence, "all men are created equal" as "glittering generalities." But comes Watson, and , says that it is the cold, scientific truth. _ AU I've got to say in winding up this discussion is--lct us not assume that it is the size" of the head, the pigment of the skin or anything else that determines su¬ periority, before we are sure there there is such a thing as superiority. The House of the Red Shield [EDfTOfi'S NOTE: With com- me\\ccmey\i weeks already a jncmory, thoimnids of young Jewish men and women have been sent into the employ¬ ment market, Tlw.te ivfin graduated from high scfionl, if Ifiey intend to con¬ tinue their studies, zvonder to what cnu they should direct their studies. Many graduates of colleges ami professional schools arc still faced zvilh the jrroblem of discovering a field in which Ihey can make a living. The Ohio Jeivish Chron¬ icle here gives a general survey in zvhich tfw various professions, trades and iii- dtislries arc rc-evaliiated from the pos¬ sibilities they offer to ihc young Jew io- ilay.] Junior B'nai B'rith (A. Z. A.) Convention Opens at Milwaukee Sunday Weizmann Leaves Platform as Wise, at Stormy Congress Session, Indicts England for Failure With Mandate and Scores Weizmann's Policies Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief? For the last generation, and in good times, the song was simple enough. It went, "Doctor, lawyer." The father might have been a merchant; the son had to be a doctor or a lawyer. Next best, an archi¬ tect or all engineer. On the second plant of desirability, a dentist. Those profes¬ sions, by and large, embraced the extent of the Jewish parents' ambitious for their children. Today, there is a depression. Now, a depression might be a very temporary thing. Why should a_ young man just entering college take into consideration tbe fact that lawyers are having a pretty bad time of it during the depres¬ sion? By the time he is ready to take his bar examination conditions will prob¬ ably bave changed. Today, there are too many doctors in the cities. It is true tbat if a physician wants to go out to.a small town he will find a ^reat many spots clamoring ¦ for his services, bnt what Jewish young man thinks of going out to a small town as a physician? Therd are plenty of dentists, there are enough engineers to populate Russia, architects have nothing to do but make projects for imaginary cities of the fu¬ ture. The wise young graduate, though realizing that all these things may change, finds in the present situation this much of a warning: he wants to choose an occupation or profession that will pot get "hung up" in bad times; he wants to find something to do that is needed. Still, what he wants most—and often, what his parents want for him, is, a cer¬ tain respectability, an entry into the edu¬ cated classes, a profession that labels him at least, a university graduate. The two most respectable professioiis remain medi¬ cine and law. , What are the chances? The story in medicine need not be re¬ told. Books have been written recently, pointing out the difficulties that beset the Jewish student who so much as desires to eiitcr a medical college. If. he is a New York boy, even an extremely high aver¬ age may not help him into a local medi¬ cal school. Some, determined to be doc¬ tors, go abroad to study—to universities in Ireland, Austria, France. Others go to the rural colleges, to the South and West. When tbey graduate and come back to New York to practice, however, they will find sledding bard. - As for law—let us take the. warning of Bernard S. Deutsch, president of tbe American Jewish Congress, who speaks as a lawyer. . "It is a matter of public ing to. the already existing burden of dis¬ crimination ¦ xvbich, unfortunately, per¬ vades even tbe sanctity of the law, where justice is presumed to be rooted.; "At present, it is the disposition of the legal profession to so control admission to tbe bar as to exclude, insofar as possi¬ ble, those candidates whose cultural and ethical background', is found wanting. This would serve a two-fold purpose: first, to uphold the zealously guarded dig¬ nity and nobility of the profession, and second, to deplete the rapidly growing ranks of lawyers, by elimination of tlie unfit. "Jn view of the general and specific difficulties above set forth, it would be well for the Jewish student aspiring to the bar to carefully review his qualifica¬ tions, and to assure himself of financial independence, before attempting the long, rough road leading to the legal Parnassus." "To assure himself of financial inde¬ pendence"— puts it very neatly. The young Jew must not look to law for his living, for some while, if he insists on going into that work. As most people, look to their profession for an income, it would seem that the bar is for the ma¬ jority of aspirants, eliminated. What of the less popular, but consider¬ able professions? WTiat of journalism, social work, teaching, the rabbinate? It lias repeatedly been pointed out tbat there are far too many schools of journalism, as the profession is a small one, and the preparations made for it are far out of proportion to the advantages it offers, At the nioment in New York, hundreds of capable journalists are without work, The social field is growing, and trained workers are in demand. There is a spe¬ cial traihing school for Jewish social service workers, the students are usually doing graduate work, often students al¬ ready holding masters' and 'doctors* de¬ grees. But it is evident that this field might easily be over-crowded if even a fourth of,, those who ordinarily would study for law should turn to social serv- "Jewish Consciousness" Com- mittee to Present Featiire Report The Austrian house of Rothschilds, so k"owledge that the legal profession is, the papers say, is being liquidated. The at the present time, substantially over- holdings depreciated more than a score of miUions, according to tbe same ac¬ count. ; The reason given by other bankers for the fall bf the famous banking house, which at one time held Europe in its palm, is the friction tbat Kas developed between the various branches of the Rothschilds. The first Rothschild,-you remember, is supposed on his dying bed to have im¬ portuned the members of his family to stick together And the truth is that the early greatness of Rothschild was built on this cleaving together of the members of the family. But a new generation has arisen, which "knows not Joseph." Relativity and Rothschilds I don't- know why it is, but blood doesn't scein to he very thick. Abie Ka- bibble perhaps expressed the truth pretty accurately, when he said:^">"Only a friend can be an enemy, a relative already is." Very few are the fortunes tbat last for more than a couple of generations. It's the old story, "from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves." And perhaps, it is well that way. The Torah. seemed anxious to bring aboiit _ that very condition. The year of Jubilee, in which al) lands re¬ verted to their original owner.s. was de¬ signed for that purpose. Mr. Rosenwald is following, the Jewish spirit in provid¬ ing for the distribution of all of his philanthropic funds within twenty-five years. Washington a Jew? The temijcrature is in the nineties. Maybe that explains it. I am referring to a good lady genealogist, who comes forth, under bold headlines, to announce that George Washington was a descend¬ ant of King- Colomon. She doesn't say which of Solomon's thousand wives wa's the mother, but just knowing that Sol¬ onion is the father is reassuring. I think it is very fine, George Wasliington was not a Christian. Tbat I long knew. No¬ where til his writings, in his military orders, does he eyer mention Christ, al¬ though he mentions Providence quite frequently. But I never knew till now that George was a Semite. He was a man, whom anv people could be proud of —<lespitc the dcbunkers. He coincs forth from all their analyses, a genuine man and were it not for the fact tbat I am sure that the pood lady must have gotten some other Solomon all. mixed up in the Washington genealogy, I'd be real proud of it Modern Day KisBiner You remember that poem vou read in yonr school davs bv Leigh Hunt, begin¬ ning: "Jenny kissed me when we met."

"So much so as to constitute a serious economic problem for practitioners in general, and the more recent comers to the bar in particular. In addition, the prevailing economic depression has made itself felt in the legal field, as elsewhere. This has neces¬ sarily narrowed the field of employment, automatically affecting young Jewish law clerks and practitioners, and thereby add- Jewish young women have turned to teaching as. heavily as the young men have turned to medicine and law. The point, might' be made tbat this steady re¬ spectable, and decently, remunerative pro¬ fession has perhaps, too long been the province of women. In the grade schools it is rare to find a male instructor Outside of the shopsi Above teaching tn high scliobls, unfortunately, it is rarely tbat a Jew isj found. As for a man, a teacliing career can hardly be considered a "career' unless he feels be has a chance at a pro- fcssjorship; the general discrimination against" Jewish professors in the colleges severely limits the possibilities in tbat field. Gradually, more bright young men are turning to the rabbinate. But it is, of course, a field limited by the number of ^iir congregations. The general cffe<;t.oLthe depression on the, graduates seeking professions must be to scatter them. .This, in itself, may be good. It may cause more young men and women to specialize in minor fields to which they discover themselves suited. It may even bring a certain proportion to go into "the store" or the small business built up by their parents, and to find that they can be useful in that way, that they can put their energies to developuig, mod¬ ernizing, the ''business." The scattering of the younger Jews from medicine and law may even send some of them back to the trades. The danger is that the "laft meiich"—the person ivho "lives on air", practices a dozen professions, without one real means of support—will develop in America. (Copyright, IMl, J. -T. A.) OMAHA, NEBR.—An estimated at- leiulaiicc of five hundred boys arc ex¬ pected to be assembled at Hotel Pfister when the opening session of the 8th In¬ ternational Junior B'nai B'rith (A. Z. A.) convention is called to order this Sunday morning, July I2tb, by Grand AJcph Ggdol Aaron Tollin, Chester, Pa. These young men, all between the ages of 10 and 21, will have traveled many hundreds of miles from all parts of this, country and Canada, in order to take part in tbe important functions which arc scheduled throughout the entire three days of the conclave. Sunday'.^ program embraces an entire day. The morning will be devoted to tbe opening session consisting of wel- comings from local and international of¬ ficials and the Grand Aleph Godol's an¬ nual message. This will be followed by a noon luncheon and address by. Judge Charles Aaron, past president of District Grand Lodge No, G of the B'nai B'rith. Philip Seman, director of the Jewish People's Institute of Chicago, is to ad¬ dress the convention in the afternoon and lead a discussion forum on problems of interest to Jewish youth. In the eve¬ ning, a city-wide open meeting will be held for the purpose of acquainting the Jewry of Milwaukee with A. Z. A. and its program. , The degree team of Milwaukee Chap¬ ter No, 30 will present the Judas, Mac¬ cabeus Degree, a two scene playlet sym¬ bolizing the struggle against bigotry and race prejudice in which the seven car¬ dinal virtues of A, Z, A, arc portrayea; Richard Gutstadt, director of the B'nai B'rith 'Membership, , Cinchinati, is speaker of the evening. At the first business session, Monday morning, the Jewish Consciousness Com¬ mittee is to make, its report I. Adriel Fried, San Francisco, California, chair¬ man of the committee, has sent out over fifteen hundred letters tb the most I prominent religious and lay leaders of America in an effort to learn how the A. Z. A. can best promote Jewish con¬ sciousness among Jewish youth. On Monday.noon, a novelty luncheon is to be given at the Schlitz Brewery. The convention Ball will be 'held in the evening. Tuesday is devoted to sessions. The convention will formally come to a close at a baiwiuet in tbe evening. Here, Sam Beber, of Oniaha, Nebr., founder of A. Z. A., will deliver an address.

It is hoped that at this time the results of the recent international essay contest on "Employment Discrimination Against the Jew"'will be in from the judges and the winners announced. All sessions and affairs will be held at the Pfister Hotel. ' Aleph Zadik Aleph is sponsored under tbe Wider Scope of the B'nai B'rith. Wider Scope Drives in Middle West Succeeding Despite Depression CINCINNATI, OHIO—Special, sum¬ mer efforts to collect outstanding pledges to the B'nai B'rith Wider Scope will be made throughout the Middle West dur¬ ing July and August, according to Isidor Kadis, national field director, who has just returned to B'nat B'rith national headquarters here after lengthy visits through Districts No, 2 and 0. Mr. Kadis attended the recent conven¬ tion of District No. 2 at West Baden, Ind., where, after conferences with Louis Eorinsteiii, Indianapolis, national chairman of Wider Scope, and other leaders of the movement, he was given definite assurance ofsupiwrt The con ventioji itself voted to assume a quota for 1031 of *fiO,000. The first indication of summer ac-r tivity from the smaller communities was expressed in a letter from Samuel Has- senbusch, leader of the Wider Scope campaign in St. Joseph, Mo. A check for $000 was enclosed, as the most re¬ cent payment on the $8,500 quota as¬ sumed ill 1027, This brings St. Joseph's payments up to more tban |3,D0O. Mr. Hassenbusch himself gave $500. The St, Joseph Jewish community numbers only 3,500, with 195 menibers in the lo¬ cal B'nai B'rith lodge. Peoria, III,, furnishes another example of Wider Scope activity. This little communhy of only 30ft Jewish families pledged :^22,000 for five years back in lft37, and more than two-thirds is al¬ ready paid. ' Peoria is the home of the late Rabbi Benjaiiii" Frankel, founder of the Hillel Foundations, and his brother, Harry Frankel, a member of the General Committee of District No. BASLE—(J. T. A.)—The stormiest session the present Zionist Congress has yet witnessed came late Friday, July 3rd, when Dr. Stephen S. Wise of New York, speaking as the representative of the American delegation, came out with an excoriating indictment of Fnglaiid for its failure to fulfill the obligations of the Palestine Mandate and a bitter attack on the leadership of Dr, Weizmann., At one point the Congress was thrown into an uproar when Dr. Weizmann left the platform in demonstrative protest against the speaker and the Laboritc delegates attempted to shout him down with cries of "demagogue" and appeals to the chair¬ man to forbid the continuance of his speech, "I indict the present government of England on this tribunal of the Jewish Ijcoplc before the moral conscience of the world as having tragically failed to fulfill its obligations under the Palestine Mandate to tbe Jewish people," Dr. Wise called out. "Dr. Weizmann's speech sounded like a statement by the British government," he .continued, "but my word will be a statement to the British government. Whether it will be necessary to speak against England depends on whether we shall have a leadership which shall speak to England." Dr.. Wise then declared that lie offered no indictment against the English people. "How," he asked, "can I indict Lord Balfour, Lloyd George, Lord Plumer and General Smuts? It is these who arc representative of the Eng¬ lish people and not Lord Passfield, High Commissioner Chancellor and Keith Roach, district commissioner iri Palestine." . "Security, Land, Immigration" The three major points for' the estab¬ lishment of the Jewish National Home are security, land and immigration, Dr. Wise said. "Security should not rest on British bayonets but on an end of the willand efforts on the part of British officials in Palestine who incite the Arabs against the JcwSv We. do not demand safety for our men in Palestine, but we demand that the British government grant security for women, children and old men who were the especially chosen victims of the 1029, riflts. Our second demand is. free and legal access to the land, and our third is freedom of im¬ migration. "During tbe past two years we have bad none of these things. We have had bad laws administered by worse oflicials. We had utter and tragic insecurity. We had restriction, even cancellation of im¬ migration. We are justified in saying that the establishment of the Jewish Na¬ tional Home has been practically an¬ nulled by fiat of the British Govern¬ ment." Characterizing Dr, Weizmann's speech as a personal apologia and not a political address, Dr. Wise emphasized that the Congress "will never accept the Mac¬ Donald letter as setting right tbe White Paper. The letter is not a treaty of peace but red cross relief for those sorely wounded by the Grand Mufti, Lord Pass- field and the pogroms. Letter Cancels White.Paper "All major and minor pogroms in Palestine hurt Great Britain at least as much as they hurt us. Our leadership maintains that the MacDonald letter is ft virtual cancellation of the White Paper. However, not the White Paper but im¬ migration permits were cancelled. Eng¬ land's answer to the Mufti-led pogrom- ists was the cancellation of permits. Our leadership's answer was the wbittline down of the Jewish National Home into a bi-national state. Wc have had insults, indignity, shame and degradation from tbe British Government which learned the art of fifty-fifty from the Jewish Af^ency, fifty percent for the Arabs and fifty percent against the Jews." It was, at this [joint of Dr. Wise's speech that the Congress was thrown into an uproar. Dr. Weizmann rose- from the platform and : iti a half demonstrative . fashion left the hall while Dr. Wise was speaking, Ont in the lobby he explained that he left because he considered Dr. Wise's address unparliamentary and ir¬ responsible. ¦ After Dr. Weizmann left the hall the Laboritc delegates, vyho, have been Dr. Weizmann's staunchcst supporters, shouted "you arc a dciuagogne" to Dr. Wise and attempted to prevent him from continuing with bis address. Jacob Fish¬ man of New York, claiming that he spoke for the American delegates of the group headed by Louig Lipsky, former president of the Zionist Organization of America, declared that Dr. Wise did not speak in the name of their group. In the' meantime, Dr. M. D, Eder, leader of the British genera! Zionists^ called upon Dr. Leo Motzkin, the chairman, to prevent Dr, Wise from continuing. Dr. Motzkin, however, found that Dr. Wise bad spoken in parliamentary form. "So long as- I am chairman," he ruled, "I shall not prevent him from continu¬ ing." Arab Problem Invented The uproar lasted for some lime. When it finally quieted down Dr. Wise con¬ tinued: "If the Balfour Declaration had read .'the aim of His Majesty's Govern¬ ment is to hinder, obstruct and frustrate the establishment of the Jewish National Home', the Declaration would have been abundantly fulfilled. England is respon¬ sible for an understanding between the Jews and the Arabs which London and Jerusalem officials have done everything to make impossible notwithstanding the fact that .the Jews are willing, nay eager, for such an understanding. There would not have been an Arab problem in Pales¬ tine if the Palestine government had not invented it or evolved it." ¦ Asserting that the Zionist Executive had no right to accept the MacDonald letter as a basis for cooperation, Dr. Wise declared that'this letter should not have been answered by Dr. Weizmann three months ago, but by the present Congress. "The land development scheme is. the best proof that the Mac¬ Donald letter offers no basis for coopera¬ tion," he charged. "We have cooperated fully and loyally for ten years and in return we have hurt and reprisal, wrong arid murder. The Arabs have not cooperated, and they have gotten all tbcy wanted, '^'he Arabs do not even find it worthwhile to go to Lon¬ don ifor the purpose of a conference as wc must go. We must speak to England as England likes to be spoken to. No leadership is qualified to speak for us which faces the Britisli government in the spirit Of 'yoii'are'great arid we are small, you are all and we arc nothing.'

Shell Oil Company Denies Bias to Jews in Palestine In tlie June issue of "The Sign of the Shell,'* published monthly in the interests of the employes and dealers of the Shell Eastern Petroleum Products, Inc., the company takes occasion to deny published reports that in hiring or discharging em¬ ployes it has been discriminating against Jews. In a special statement entitled "A Shell Policy," the company's organ points out that "there is no desire or at¬ tempt to impose... restrictions of race or' creed uiKin their employes." The statement further adds that "everyone familiar with the history of Shell knows that Jewish capital and able, far-seeing Jewish business men have been and are today factors of the utmost im- porttincc in some of the. Shell companies" and that "the broad, policies of the Shell organization would make impossible an^' discrimination against Jews, just as it would make impossible any discrimina¬ tion against Catholics or Protestants.'' ¦ The statement is the result of reports published in the Jewish press of tbis country that the Shell Oil Company in Palestine had dismissed all or most of its Jewish employes in Haifa., Blames Jewish Community For Failure to Bar Passion Play VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUM¬ BIA—(J. T. A.)—Inertia on the part of the Jewish community is held resjKtn- sible by Frederick Landsberg for the failure to prevent the presentation of the Passion Play in Victoria, B. C, the city which honored him a year ago by voting bim as iti best citiien. After single- handedly using every- influence in his power to pi^event it being shown in Vic¬ toria, Mr. Landsberg found that he had begun his efforts ,too late, due to the delay of other n}embers_ In the com¬ munity in coming to his aid. As a result of his experiences, Mr. Landsberg has sounded a warning to other cities of the Pacific Coast. "I know definitely that this company is in¬ tending to present the Passion Play in other cities of the Coast, in Vancouver, Seattle, Portland and San Francisco." he said. "From my extwrience I feel sure that they can be prevented, if action is started before full arrangements arc made. In Victoria I was able to gain the sympathy and cooperation of all the city officials and clergy, but I started' too late, for all arrangements had been defi- initely completed." KALLEN WOULD ABOLISH ALL JEWISH COLLEGE FRATERNITIES LAKE GEORGE, N.Y.—The Jewish college fraternity was attacked as "one of the most vicious forms of imitation of the Gentiles adopted by the Jews since the war" and Zionism was held out as the only force through which ¦ the Jew could achieve "a sense of helonging," by Dr. Horace M. Kallen of the New School for Social Research in a lecture vcstclday before a group of Jewish stu¬ dents from many American universities who attended the summer courses of Avukah, Anierican student Zionist federa¬ tion,, at Camp Scopus. "I would abolish all of the Jewish fraternities," said Dr, Kallen. "It is one of the most artificial forms that has come up in the process of the assimilation of the Jews in the academic community. The fraternities are tbe niost vicious , form of Gentile imitation, and contribute nothing to the adjustment of the Jew to Ainerican life." , In outlining tbe relation of the Ameri¬ can Jew to Zionism, Dr. Kallen said that the eventual political or economic suc¬ cess of tbe Zionist program did not de¬ termine tlie value of the movement to the American Jew who gained a sense of "belonging" irrespective of the fcventual fate of Zionist aims. Dr. Kallen declared that oidv when the Jew achieved the sense of belonging to something as a Jew could he become at ease as an American. "Zionism has had a much more, fun¬ damental efl'ect on the life of the modern Jew than has the synagogue," he said. Dr. Kallen also urged the students to observe that, as Jews were becoming Americanized, America was also becom¬ ing, to a degree, Judaized. The Avukah summer school, which closed yesterday, was attended by over 100 students from 10 colleges. AGUDATH ACHIM JOINT PICNIC SUNDAY, JULY 2B ¦ Big plans are being made by the Brotherhood and, Sisterhood of the Agu¬ dath Achim tongregation for thtir Joint picnic which is scheduled to lake place on Sunday, July 26tli. \ ' Further announcements concerning this event will be published in the forlhcora- iiig issue of the Chronicle.

10 Producers Justin Timberlake Needs To Work With Soon
Forget sexy. On his new album, The 20/20 Experience, Justin Timberlake is bringing Timbaland back. More than six years after he collaborated with Timbo on all but one song on his second solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, JT just announced that, once again, the duo will be working together on every single track on his new project. And, that could be either really, really good or really, really bad.
On the one hand, JT and Timbaland made magic on FSLS. From "SexyBack" and "My Love" to "What Goes Around…" and "Chop Me Up," the pair delivered a handful of classics on JT's last project. But, Timbo has been in a little bit of a lull in recent years, at least by his standards. So, in addition to working with Timbo, we'd love it if JT worked with a few of the other producers out there. To help him out, we put together a list of 10 Producers Justin Timberlake Needs To Work With Soon. Who else wants to hear these guys work with JT?

Encyclopedia Of Literature
This four-volume set covers world authors from many periods and genres, building a broad understanding of the various contexts -- from the biographical to the literary to the historical -- in which literature can be viewed. The Gale Contextual Encyclopedia of World Literature allows a reader to analyze an author's work as a reflection of the heritage, traditions and experiences of the author's personal life and the beliefs, events, and lifestyles of the world at the time, given such context as:
- While composing Requiem: A Cycle of Poems during the Stalinist reign of terror in Russia, Anna Akhmatova whispered the words line by line to her friends, who memorized them before she burned the paper on which they were written.
- With his father in debtors' prison, Anton Chekhov submitted his short, humorous pieces to popular magazines to earn money and became the breadwinner for his family.
- Marjane Satrapi grew up in Tehran during the time of the overthrow of the Shah and Iran's transition to fundamentalist Islamic state.
The nearly 500 entries also identify the significant literary devices and global themes that define a writer's style and place the author in a larger literary tradition as chronicled and evaluated by critics over time. For example:
- Samuel Beckett's work often tried to express the pure anguish of existence as exemplified in the work of French existentialist writers Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre.
- George Eliot chose a male pen name to distinguish herself from the large number of female authors of popular romances during her time.
Critical thinking and activity prompts, in addition to images, further enhance the reader's own personal response to global literature.

A state House commissioned report on the mental health services system in Massachusetts that is set to come out early next week recommends that Taunton State Hospital remain open with 45 beds, while also calling for the exploration of expanding programs at the facility.
With funding already secured by state legislators to keep Taunton State Hospital open until next year, the information in the Mental Health Advisory Committee report is targeted at the next gubernatorial administration and legislators in 2015.
State Rep. Patricia Haddad, D-Somerset, a committee member whose district includes part of Taunton, said that the report also examines the crossover between mental health and substance abuse.
"It's really started people talking and talking to each other about what's going on," Haddad said on Friday. "I think we are already seeing some suggestions, that have been made for many sessions in a row, come to light."
The $100,000 report was created by a commission composed of legislators, mental health advocates, state administration officials, insurance company representatives, health care professionals and others. State legislators authorized this report last summer, after an initial study was commissioned in 2012. The study followed public outcry by healthcare workers, legislators and members of the public, after Gov. Deval Patrick's administration's initial attempt to close Taunton State Hospital, instead reducing the facility from 169 beds to the current 45, with resources being redirected to a new facility in Worcester.
Haddad said that the discussion surrounding the report is already yielding results with Patrick. Haddad said he is now proposing to create a so-called "difficult to manage unit," and is expected to announce plans for it next week. The difficult to manage unit is one of the key recommendations in the report.
Haddad said that there has long been talk about using "some" of the Taunton State Hospital facility for such a unit, which would be used to help stabilized people admitted under the state's Section 35 law, which permits the courts to involuntarily commit someone who has lost the power of self-control over drugs and alcohol. Haddad said that she was asked to talk to Patrick about the subject next week.
"Now they are talking about using some of Taunton for that," said Haddad, who has filed legislation in several previous sessions calling for the creation of such a unit. "I'm assuming that's what's going to happen. … Taunton has a great greenhouse and a gym. It can stabilize people, and can help get them out to community settings. We have been saying there are uses for that property. I'm glad that this has generated a lot of thought and a lot of action already. It'll be interesting to see what happens when it does ultimately come out."
Haddad said that this is especially a problem for women who are "sectioned" in Framingham, where they are "literally in jail," and only have access to a "very unpleasant courtyard."
The report is being released amid an ongoing scandal at Bridgewater State Hospital, a psychiatric prison that treats mentally ill patients and those awaiting trial, which has come under criticism for restraining patients too much and has become the subject of several lawsuits. A forensic unit, which treats patients leading to trial and houses non-violent convicts with mental health issues, was once located at Taunton State Hospital before the Patrick administration tried to shut down the facility.
The Mental Health Advisory Committee report is also expected to call for greater transparency among providers of mental health services, expansion of community-based services and the establishment of a single point of authority at the state's Executive Office of Health and Human Services that can make a final determination when a patient's course of treatment is in dispute.
Haddad said that another takeaway that she had from the report is that there is "no magic number" for the statewide number of mental health beds that are available in Massachusetts. Mental health advocates have previously set the number of bed in the state at 626, which is down from 834 beds in 2010.
It is also clear in the report that with just 45 beds at Taunton State Hospital, there is a higher need for mental health services in the southeastern region of the state right now, Haddad said.
Haddad said the report also focused on the need to match patients with the appropriate placements. She said that improving the state's mental health system may cost money, but it's necessary.
"I hope that people would understand that choices have to be made," Haddad said. "(The report is) a way to say to people, here's what we thought, now what are your priorities and how can we maybe shift costs, or is their a way to redistribute the money that makes sense to give enough to provide these services for people to get better."
State Rep. Shaunna O'Connell, R-Taunton, also said that there are several important provisions that she and others worked to include in the report, such as the exploration of a potential pilot program that could be operated at Taunton State for individuals with mental health conditions involved in the criminal justice system in order to divert them from incarceration. Another provision O'Connell worked to include in the report is the monitoring and reporting of wait times for continuing care beds by the Department of Mental Health.
O'Connell also said she and others pushed to include increased reimbursement rates to allow providers to deliver "the necessary quality and quantity of services needed" to treat mental health patients.
"Low reimbursement rates have resulted in an inability of mental health providers to retain employees and provide patients with the consistent long-term counseling and treatment services they need for a healthy recovery," O'Connell's office said in a statement. "People are pushed out of the mental health system before they are ready, or they give up seeking treatment due to the difficulty in accessing or maintaining services. This creates a revolving door of treatment and care that significantly increases cost, puts a strain on our hospitals, schools, police, and justice system and has tremendous negative impacts on patients and our communities."
Haddad said that all the health insurance companies on the committee voted against the report.
State Sen. Marc Pacheco, D-Taunton, offered criticism of the way the report was done, but said that on balance it was good to see that the report recommended increasing or at least maintaining the amount of mental health beds in Southeastern Massachusetts. Pacheco, who didn't participate in the committee so as to not "disproportionately influence" the results, said that even though the report is 126 pages long, it could have been more thorough and should have been completed before budget deliberations at the State House earlier this year.
"It's a lengthy report but that doesn't mean they've provided the state leaders with a whole lot of direction," Pacheco said. "A lot of the report is ambiguous in terms of the recommendations. They don't take strong positions one way or the other. … That's disappointing to me."
Pacheco said that earlier this year he called the Bristol County Sherriff's Office to see if the committee contacted the prisons yet, as part of the report to get information on the "co-occuring" population that are in jail for issues related to drug addiction when there is an underlying mental health issue. At that point, the prisons had not received any request for information, he said.
"We were closing down on the report … working on it for almost a year … and they had not even visited a facility in Bristol or Plymouth counties," said Pacheco, explaining that the legislation authorizing the study called specifically for research on the co-occuring population.
Pacheco said that in Bristol, Plymouth and Norfolk counties alone there are over 1,700 inmates with mental health issues. Of that population, he said, at least 10 percent, and up to 25 to 25 perfect, would be eligible for a potential court diversion program that accepts nonviolent inmates for minor offenses.
Pacheco said the future of mental health in Massachusetts ultimately would come down to the next governor who will take office after the fall elections.
"That's going to be critical to get these gubernatorial candidates on the record where they are on this issue, so when they begin, we can have conversations with the region and have utilization of existing assets at Taunton State," said Pacheco, adding that a build-out analysis would be required to decide how they could move additional programs to Taunton State Hospital. "It just can't be done from the top down. It needs true involvement from legislators and citizens of the region."

Lady Virginia Williams passes away
- Teams:
- Williams
Williams F1 has announced that Lady Virginia Williams died on Thursday at the age of 66. She had been battling cancer for more than two years.
"Lady Virginia, or 'Ginny' as she was better known, died peacefully at the family home last night surrounded by Frank and the rest of the Williams family," a statement read. "Ginny will always be an integral part of Williams' history and success, and today we pay tribute to a much loved member of the Williams family who will be sorely missed."
Tributes flooded in from across the F1 world.
"Ginny was a truly great lady," said Ron Dennis, former team principal of McLaren and long time friend of Frank Williams . "Friendly and fun, yet also a tower of strength and intelligence, she supported my old friend Frank through many triumphs and disasters, treating those two imposters just the same, over a long and happy marriage.
"She'll be missed not only by the Williams family, to whom we offer our condolences at this very difficult time, but also by the entire motorsport community worldwide."
David Coultahrd said he was "sorry to read of Ginny Williams' passing, [she was] the strength behind Franks amazing journey".

The right-back scored what proved to be the winning goal shortly before half-time, after Alessandro Matri had given the visitors the lead in the 10th minute. Cyril Thereau set up a tense finish by pulling a goal back in the second half, but the Bianconeri held on to record their first league victory since January 19.
"Today's victory was very important for us. We dropped many points in January, which was also down to an element of bad luck," the defender told Sky Sport Italia.
"We struggled a bit in the second half and could have handled things a little better after the restart. We're still top of the league, but we know we'll need to remain alert because Napoli are a great side, as are Lazio and Inter."Bianconeri assistant coach Angelo Alessio praised his side for the manner of their win, and assured reporters that they always had the game under control.
"The game was always in our hands," he added.
"In the first half we scored two goals and could've had more. We only failed to control the match properly in the opening 10 minutes of the second half."
Alessio concluded by admitting Napoli are the biggest threat to Juve retaining their Serie A crown, pointing to the number of new signings the Partenopei have made during January.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia medical examiner battled a defense lawyer in court Thursday as he justified changing an abortion patient's death from accidental overdose to "homicide."
Dr. Gary Collins finished two days of medical testimony at the capital murder trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell.
Gosnell, 72, is charged with third-degree murder for allegedly letting his untrained staff overmedicate a petite, 41-year-old patient during a November 2009 abortion.
Collins said he classified Karnamaya Mongar's death as an "accident" the following August, based on the available evidence. But he changed it to "homicide" in December, as a grand jury investigated Gosnell's clinic practices and he toured the shuttered facility.
"From the get go, the circumstances (described) were inaccurate — totally inaccurate," Collins insisted. "That made it sound like everything was being done above board."
He said he never would have imagined the abortion occurred in a clinic that lacked trained staff, up-to-date drugs and equipment, and rescue equipment to revive patients in distress.
"You would think you would have people trained in CPR and actual nurses, registered nurses, if you are doing abortions," Collins said.
At one point, Collins startled observers by jumping down from the witness stand and tearing off a large timeline McMahon had prepared on an easel. Collins then grabbed a marker and started his own outline for the jury, before McMahon protested and the witness was reined in.
The deputy medical examiner later apologized. Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Minehart told the jury that emotions often spill over at the criminal courthouse.
McMahon was trying to show Thursday that no one on staff recalled Mongar getting more than 100 milligrams of Demerol throughout the day, despite the higher autopsy findings. Prosecutors argue, though, that the hand-scrawled clinic records of her care are unreliable.
In addition to Mongar's death, Gosnell faces seven counts of first-degree murder for allegedly killing late-term babies who were born alive. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty on those counts. Gosnell denies the charges.
Three clinic workers have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder for their role in Mongar's death, or for cutting babies in the back of the neck to ensure their "demise." One is an unlicensed medical school graduate, another a woman with a sixth-grade education who administered anesthesia drugs.
Collins, a physician, testified that there is no medical justification to stab babies in the neck with scissors, as described. A medical expert is slated to testify later about proper abortion techniques.
Gosnell was known for offering second-term abortions at his inner-city, cash-only clinic, which catered to poor women, teens and other vulnerable populations. Mongar, a refugee from Bhutan, had been in the U.S. only a few months.
Prosecutors believe he violated the state's 24-week limit by performing abortions on women as late as 30 weeks into their pregnancy.
The trial resumes Monday.

Bangor, ME - Husson University football fell to Hartwick College Saturday in both teams season openers. The Eagles were outmatched in the first half and were unable to make up the deficit. The Eagles managed two impressive second half touchdowns by way of quarterback Kash Keezer and wide receiver Ben Foss.
On the defensive side of the ball, Husson's Ernest Wiggins tallied 9 solo tackles, assisted on two more, racked up 3.5 sacks for a total loss of 15 yards. Four of Wiggins' tackles were for a loss totaling 18 yards. Stephan Dance also played well for the defense with five solo tackles of his own, assisting on five others.
Hartwick was led by quarterback Mike Mathews who completed 7 of 15 passes for 159 Yards and three touchdowns, the longest of which to wide receiver Frankie Molina for 60 yards, who totaled 81 on the day. Three other receivers, Tanner Williams, Joe Dawson and John Horner reeled in passes for six.
Nine defensive players had at least one sack for the Hawks who were led by Mike Parody and Clyde Miller, both with four tackles of their own. Dante Crump had two key interceptions for the Hawks with returns totaling 47 yards.
It didn't take Hartwick long to get onto the board as they scored on a huge 60-yard pass play 45 seconds into the game. Mike Mathews dropped back and found Frankie Molina wide open down field, ahead of the closest defender by 10 yards. Molina scampered into the end zone easily paired with an Alex Tesoriero extra point to make it 7-0 Hawks.
A minute and half later the Eagles were able to hold Harwick inside their own 10 yard line forcing Tesoriero onto the field again for a three point attempt, pushing the score to 10-0.
Both teams traded drives for the next nine minutes which ended in Hartwick piecing together a quick two play drive after Keezer was intercepted inside of Husson's own 20. On the second play of the Hawks' drive, Mathews handed off to Joseph Rosiecki who only need two yards for the second Hartwick touchdown of the afternoon.
Just 18 seconds later, Keezer would be picked off for the third time in the quarter. This time it was Dante Crump with the pick-six, the only of the game for either squad. Hartwick lead after one, 23-0.
Tanner Williams, Joe Dawson and John Horner all caught double-digit yard passes for touchdowns in the third quarter for the Hawks. The three scores were the only for either side in the second frame as the Hawks pushed their lead to 44-0.
The excitement for Husson fans came in the third quarter as Foss scored his two touchdowns in dramatic fashion. The first of which was set up by a Kash Keezer 10-yard run down to the 30 yard line of Hartwick. On the very next play, Keezer dropped back and fired toward Caleb King, who leapt while facing Keezer to attempt the catch. The ball ricocheted off the top of 6'6" tight end's hands and directly into the grasp of a streaking Foss who made a couple of moves within the 10 and scored the 30-yarder.
Foss waited almost nine minutes to make the home crowd happy again, but it was well worth it. Keezer once again dropped back and found an open Foss who charged downfield, made one move and into the end zone for the 61-yard touchdown. The two Foss touchdowns cut the Hartwick lead to 44-14, yet the Eagles would come no closer on the afternoon.
Hartwick managed two safeties within about four minutes late in the fourth quarter, and scored a touchdown on a 32-yard Ryan Manning run with just 53 seconds left to go ahead 55-14, the final score.
"We are YOUNG," head coach Sean Murphy said after the game. "The good thing is that our expectations haven't changed as far as objectives and winning our conference. We're expecting to be competitive in every outing that we have. Finding a silver lining in this will come when we watch the tape. It's never as bad or as good as you think until you evaluate the game. Right now we're going to learn from this and look forward to Springfield and to be excited about taking the next step."
Husson will have to quickly shake off Saturday's loss as Springfield, one of the non-conference teams Husson has played most, will travel to Bangor next weekend to take on the Eagles. Kickoff is set for 1:00pm as gates will open at 11:30am.

Doreen Mae Mekjavich
Jan. 1, 1925 - Nov. 19, 2012
Doreen Mekjavich died on her
own terms: in her sleep at home
surrounded by her family 13 days after
President Obama's re-election, the last item on her
"bucket list."
Doreen lived a long, fulfilling life. She worked for the Stockton
Unified School District, first as a health aide, then as a library
assistant at Edison High School. Though not a teacher, Doreen loved working with the hundreds of students who used the library during her 21 years there. After retirement, her commitment to education led her to teach adults to read. She also worked as a
volunteer at St. Joseph's Hospital.
She was a member of the Philomathean Club and the Tuleberg Quilt Guild. When
Vincent Mekjavich, her husband of 58 years, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, Doreen cared for him until his death in 2002. She enjoyed traveling, quilting, going to the symphony and to the theater in San Francisco with her friends. Doreen considered that her greatest achievement was her family and the dear friends she cherished.
Doreen could not have ended her life comfortably at home without the assistance of many people. Her neighbors, Linda and Coy Garrett helped her for many years. Pam, Mary, Laura and Lori of the Hospice of San Joaquin have provided continuous, loving support to the entire Mekjavich family. Throughout Doreen's illness, Pina Aragon has been a constant, comforting presence.
Doreen is survived by her four children and their families: Karen Alexis Popik, her husband William C. Popik, M.D.; Mark Mekjavich, his wife Pam Peters Mekjavich; Christine Brownfield; Elizabeth Mekjavich, her husband, Stephen Cammack, Esq; ten grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; she is also survived by her brother, Russell Vote.

Google's Schmidt satirised as privacy pervert
Run for your lives, kids. The ice cream man is coming!
Eric Schmidt has been portrayed as a depraved privacy pervert by the US-based ConsumerWatchdog.org, which is running an advert in New York's Times Square that mocks the Google boss.
The ads are part of CW's campaign that calls on Congress to bring in a national "Do Not Track Me" list.
CW, which routinely grumbles about Google, splurged cash on a huge digital billboard to promote the animated vid that ridicules Schmidt's much-derided attitude toward consumer privacy.
"We're satirising Schmidt in the most highly-trafficked public square in the nation to make the public aware of how out of touch Schmidt and Google are when it comes to our privacy rights," said CW president Jamie Court.
"America needs a 'Do Not Track Me' list and Google is Exhibit A in the case for it."
We at Vulture Central presume that such a list, if enacted, won't be published online and available to search for via, well, Google.
The ad itself portrays an avatar of Schmidt driving an ice cream van while creepily spying on kids.
Cheerily, the not-for-profit group has uploaded the vid onto YouTube. El Reg guesses this means CW wanted to attack the enemy from within its own terror camp. Or something. ®

Pre-Alerts ACBL
Posted 2011-December-25, 10:40
(1) We play a strong club system.
(2) We may open very light in the majors.
The first of these is not a required pre-alert, and in fact most other strong club pairs do not pre-alert it. The second is a required pre-alert.
My experience (playing in all different levels of event from club games to national tournaments) has been that no one is really interested in pre-alert (2). I've never seen opponents discuss a defense, or decide to do anything particularly differently. However, the first pre-alert has often lead to discussion of defense to strong club, or questions about how short our 1♦ opening could be (which then sometimes leads to discussion of defenses there too). It seems to me that requiring us to pre-alert (2) is basically a waste of everyone's time; keep in mind that we have to alert these bids during the auction as well, so inferences that opponents may be able to draw in play/defense will still be available to them. On the other hand, requiring a pre-alert of (1) might be a good idea.

We pre-alert both anyway in the interest of full disclosure, but I do agree that requiring the former makes much more sense.

Where do you see this? I don't see anything specific to 3rd seat openings in the Alert Procedures. Are you referring to this?
I think the concensus is that if you only do it in third seat, this doesn't fit the "routinely open" criterion, since that is indeed "just bridge". So you only have to pre-alert if you do this often in other seats.
Posted 2011-December-26, 22:32
What does "routinely open" mean in context? If you open all unbalanced hands with 10+ points (but not balanced or semibalanced hands) does that count? Doesn't 95+% of people open AQxxxx xx x Axxx, the majority at the 1 level, since it meets the rule of 20? If you play a mini-nt in certain seats or colors (half time) is that 10 point balanced hand frequent enough to count as routinely, or is the half the time you pass balanced/semi-balanced 10 and 11 point hands enough to make it not frequent.
Part of the problem to is the 11 HCP means very different things as some 10 HCP hands are better than other 12 HCP hands.
I think many would open KJT9xx KJT9xx x - even though it has only 8 HCP (is this 11 HCP hand really much better A65432 A65432 K -). Heck, if you think it is "strong" you could probably legally open 2♣ with some directors!
Posted 2011-December-27, 03:31
- The fact you play a strong club system should be immediately obvious from your system card. I know the problem in the ACBL is that you often don't get a chance to look at oppo's card, but in theory it's right there at the top of the card so you shouldn't ned to be pre-alerted to it. The light major suit openings (or the one I pre-alerted when I once played in an ACBL event - the very light pre-empts) have nowhere obvious to show on the card, so it might come as a surprise that you play them.
- The choice of what needs pre-alerting is (almost) certainly not the result of some detailed analysis of what people might play, and what might cause problems, but rather a reaction to complaints. If the relevant committee receive multiple complaints about one particular thing that some people play, they will be inclined to write a regulation to cope with it. If no-one ever complains, nothing will happen.

If opening is more the rule than the exception, I'd call it "routine". If you use Rule of 20, then it takes significant extra shape to open these weak hands, and it's not routine. I think the point of the regulation is to address players who open light WITHOUT such compensation.
And while it doesn't say so explicitly, I expect that they didn't intend to include balanced 10 counts when playing mini NT, since those are announced.

Its not "just bridge" to open light in third seat. Everyone doesn't do it.
In many places including the ACBL it is illegal to have a partnership understanding to open light. In the ACBL the border between legality and illegality is 8 hcp. 8hcp being legal and fewer than 8 hcp being illegal.
Here is the relevant statement on the General Convention Chart:
#6 Opening one bids which by partnership agreement could show fewer than 8 HCP. (Not applicable to a psych.)
Many players site "just bridge" or "psych(e)" when they in fact have a partnership understanding (possibly implicit rather than explicit) to open these light hands. They claim "psychic bid" when they know that partner has a propensity to make these (very) light openings. These situations are low frequency - third hand after two passes and we hold a very weak hand. Even more infrequent if we don't consider these actions at certain vulnerabilities. Many of these players believe the low frequency justifies them ignoring the laws and regulations. The reality is that if you would always, nearly always or even just a significant minority of the times you are in these situations open these light hands in third seat and you play in a regular partnership or even just have an understanding (explicit or implicit) of partner's tendencies in these situations then you have a partnership understanding that is disclosable and subject to law and regulation.
Many players don't disclose and hide behind "just bridge" because to disclose would subject them to regulation. That is the regulations provide a disincentive for proper disclosure. Its much easier to say (and pretend) that every one does it than to acknowledge that what you are doing is contrary to the laws and regulations.
Thus we create two classes of players 1. Those that justify what they do by saying that everyone does it and 2. Those that attempt to follow the laws and regulations as written. And consequently an uneven playing field based on how willing one is to bend and break the rules.
In my mind the disclosure and system regulations need to be clear in what is allowed and disallowed and the rules need to be enforced as written.

I think some frequency has to come in to play. Say you are white versus red at teams and in 3rd seat where your partner would have opened the vast majority of 10 point hands in 1st seat. You hold 0 HCP. This is a very low frequency event. A significant percentage of this very infrequent time you may choose a psyche of some sort (1nt, 1 of your longer major, 1 of your shorter major, 2M, etc.). Maybe it isn't even the majority of the time, and maybe the psyche changes, but I do think that this can be "just bridge" to some extent. It is possible that your partner expects you to have your bid and bids like it because 99+% of the time in this situation (from their perspective) you have your bid, even if 50+% of the time (from your perspective) you'd be psyching.
To put it another way that is more extreme, if your personal tendencies would 100% psyche 1nt with any 4333 super Yarborough (no card above an 8), and otherwise are the Walrus and always and only open 1nt based strictly on your HCP with no adjustments I don't think you are playing an illegal agreement.

Players are expected to be prepared for the vast majority of systems that they may encounter at the bridge table. Common methods include either strong or weak notrumps with or without five-card majors. The forcing opening bid will most often be an artificial forcing opening of 1 or 2 .
When you play a system structured along different agreements than these, you should draw the opponents attention to your convention card before the round begins. In short, if you play a system that most players would not immediately recognize (such as a canapé system) or one the opponents may wish to discuss before the auction begins (a 10-12 1NT range with distributional requirements for minor-suit openings, for example), you are required to pre-Alert the opponents."
I play with 3 other partners a Strong Club System with canapé openers (sometimes canapé responses to 1♣).
We have a laminated strip for ACBL Required Pre-alert for Canapé and a Courtesy Pre-Alert for our Strong Club system.
We do open good 10 hcp hands (no pre-alert) and distributional hands with 8+ hcp (no pre-alert).
C3: Copious Canape ♣ is still my favorite system. (Ultra upgraded)
NOW playing a Mosca ♣ (Nightmare-Fantunes-Millennium ♣ like) system with canapé, 11-14 NT with Keri Invites and Intermediate 2 bids (10-14), & 15+ 1♣ opener with transfer negatives @ 1-level & transfer positives @ the 2- and 3-levels. Canape after opening 1♥ or 1♠ (into a minor suit only). Playing Naturelle in another partnership.

Another instance where a pre-alert is required is systems based on very light openings or other highly aggressive methods or preempts.
Note however that this is the "changing laws & regulations" forum. My belief is that it would be worthwhile to require a pre-alert for any non-standard general approach (since ACBL players are not in the habit of exchanging system cards before the round, and the current non-required warning of a strong club system has very often lead to discussion). However, I also believe it would be best to strike the requirement of pre-alerting light openings or overcalls (while continuing the currently also-required alert during the auction), since this pre-alert wastes time and basically never leads to serious discussion of defenses.

In the EBU we tend to "pre-alert" everything. It is maybe one time in a hundred that I am not told what the opponents' basic system is at the beginning of a round (sometimes I have to ask, sometimes they have to ask me, but in any case the information gets transmitted.)


text:
It's a loaded question, isn't it? Someone asked me this the other day, and my response was: "We're trying." Two words: We're. Trying. Maybe it was the way I said it, but I think I kind of threw her off with such an honest response. This was someone I had just met through mutual friends, so I could've just said, "Yes, I'd love to have more children." But sometimes I assume most people who know me, or know of me through mutual friends, know that I write a blog about infertility. And, since I'm a TMI girl by nature (obviously), I'm pretty much an open book with everyone I meet.
Turns out, she didn't know I write a blog about infertility. She just innocently asked me a natural question while we were getting to know each other, and talking about raising kids in the city.
I felt like those two words, "We're trying," as simple as they sound, said too much. But then again, she asked. And when you ask someone my age about wanting kids, you have to know you could be opening Pandora's box. What response was she looking for?
"No, we're happy with just one. One and done!"
I have a feeling that response would have resulted in an awkward silence, especially from someone who has two kids.
"Yes, we're hoping to have more kids."
That's pretty much the same as "We're trying." Awwwkward.
"Yes, I'd love more children some day."
Considering I'm thisclose to turning 38, "some day" should've been yesterday.
But that's probably the best response to give, if you don't want to make the person asking the question feel like a jerk. I felt bad for responding the way I did. It's like asking someone, How are you? And that person going into great detail about some injury or illness, when all you really wanted to hear was, "I'm fine, thanks."
Of course I ended up revealing the fact that I've been seeing a fertility doctor. We both happen to go to the same OB/GYN, so in talking about that I also revealed that it was our mutual OB that convinced me to implant only one embryo (instead of two). He insisted that if I didn't want twins, I shouldn't implant more than one. (I'll go into more detail about that in another blog.)
I learned a long time ago that you can't ask women about having children. It's too complicated. You never know what's going on in the reproductive department, so unless you're ready for the hard truths, don't ask the tough questions.
Obviously I didn't mind the question, but I wasn't sure how comfortable she was with the answer.
Do you mind when people innocently ask you about wanting more (or any) kids? Do you tell people the truth about trying to conceive or going through infertility, or do you give a canned response? Do you ever think about how you'd handle these situations? I do...all the time.
By the way, Tuesday, April 3rd is the day Naperville's City Council votes on whether or not to allow plans for a new fertility clinic in its city, as I discussed in last week's blog. There's still time to share your personal experiences with IVF by sending a letter to reach the decision makers.

ARLINGTON, Va., April 19 (UPI) -- The laser-guided Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System by BAE Systems appears to be moving closer to approval for use on U.S. military fixed-wing aircraft.
The 2.75-inch rocket, used on U.S. Marine Corps helicopters in Afghanistan, has been qualified on AH-1W and UH-1Y helicopters and has now been tested on the U.S. Air Force's fixed-wing A-10 jet.
"These latest test results underscore the power and versatility of the APKWS technology and provide further proof that the system can be launched off of any platform capable of shooting an unguided 2.75-inch rocket," said David Harrold, director of precision guidance solutions at BAE Systems.
"Since its introduction on Marine Corps helicopters in combat operations, the APKWS rocket has proven its ability to defeat a broad range of targets. This test is an important step in bringing that same capability to fixed-wing aviators."
In the tests, the rockets were fired at ground targets an altitude of 10,000 and 15,000 feet. The A-10 was flying at speeds up to 348 knots.
"The first controlled test-vehicle shot performed a series of pre-planned maneuvers to collect in-flight data," BAE said. "The second shot, into a 70-knot headwind, hit the target board well within the required 2 meters (about 6 feet) of the laser spot. The shot was laser-designated from the ground with a special operations forces marker."
The A-10 is the first Air Force platform to conduct testing of the fixed-wing variant of the APKWS weapon. The U.S. Marine Corps recently conducted similar tests off the AV-8B Harrier aircraft.
"At one-third the cost and one-third the weight of other precision weapons in inventory, the APKWS rocket is an ideal precision weapon for today's fiscal environment, reducing the direct cost of target engagement and the total operational cost of each sortie," BAE said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are strongly criticizing the review board that investigated last year's Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya.
Monday's report from House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa faults the Accountability Review Board for questioning senior State Department officials insufficiently or not at all. It claims the reviewers had conflicts of interest.
Issa's committee will hear from the board's chairman and vice chairman this week. Both were top officials in Republican governments. Thomas Pickering was President George H.W. Bush's U.N. ambassador; Adm. Mike Mullen was Joint Chiefs chairman under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
State Department spokesman Douglas Frantz called the Benghazi review "thorough and transparent." He said facts were being twisted to "advance a political agenda."
Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans died in the attack.

Police: Playing dogs killed Columbus infant
Police: Playing dogs killed Columbus infant
The newspaper says animal control officials are holding the dogs for now.
A coroner concludes that dog bites caused internal injuries that led to the death of a 3-month-old central Ohio girl.
Franklin County Coroner Jan Gorniak tells Columbus media outlets that an autopsy confirmed dog bites caused the girl's death Tuesday morning.
Police say Mia Gibson was bitten by her family's dogs inside their Columbus condo. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Police Sgt. Steven Little told The Columbus Dispatch it seemed to be an accident. He said it appeared the family's two Shiba Inus didn't attack the baby, but rather were playing with her.
Police say the girl had been on the couch with her father and apparently fell to the floor as he slept.
