A Brief History of Bryn Mawr College
When Bryn Mawr College opened its doors in 1885, it offered women a more ambitious academic program than any previously available to them in the United States.
Other women's colleges existed, but Bryn Mawr was the first to offer graduate education through the Ph.D. — a signal of its founders' refusal to accept the limitations imposed on women's intellectual achievement at other institutions.
A Quaker Legacy
The founding of Bryn Mawr carried out the will of Joseph W. Taylor, a physician who wanted to establish a college "for the advanced education of females." Taylor originally envisioned an institution that would inculcate in its students the beliefs of the Society of Friends (popularly known as Quakers), but by 1893 his trustees had broadened the College's mission by deciding that Bryn Mawr would be non-denominational. Bryn Mawr's first administrators believed that excellence in scholarship was more important than religious faith in appointing the faculty, although the College remained committed to Quaker values such as freedom of conscience.
The College's mission was to offer women rigorous intellectual training and the chance to do to original research, a European-style program that was then available only at a few elite institutions for men. That was a formidable challenge, especially in light of the resistance of society at large, at the end of the 19th century, to the notion that women could be the intellectual peers of men.
Academic Excellence for Women
At its inception, the College was adopted as a life's work by a woman of immense tenacity, M. Carey Thomas. Thomas, Bryn Mawr's first dean and second president, had been so intent upon undertaking advanced study that when American universities denied her the opportunity to enter a Ph.D. program on an equal footing with male students, she went to Europe to pursue her degree.
When Thomas learned of the plans to establish a college for women just outside Philadelphia, she brought to the project the same determination she had applied to her own quest for higher education. Thomas' ambition was the engine that drove Bryn Mawr to achievement—though it is important to understand that while M. Carey Thomas was an ardent proponent of higher education for women, she sought this privilege for wealthy white women only.
The College established undergraduate and graduate programs that were widely viewed as models of academic excellence in both the humanities and the sciences, programs that elevated standards for higher education nationwide. Under Thomas and James E. Rhoads, who served the College as president from 1885 to 1894, Bryn Mawr emerged as a leader in higher education. The College was, for example, the first institution in the United States to offer fellowships for graduate study to women; its self-government association, the first in the country at its founding in 1892, was unique in the United States in granting to students the right not only to enforce but to make all of the rules governing their conduct; and its faculty, alumnae, and students made discoveries that expanded human knowledge.
A Commitment to Engaging the World
In 1912, the bequest of an alumna founded the Graduate Department of Social Economy and Social Research, which made Bryn Mawr the first institution in the country to offer a Ph.D. in social work. The department became the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research in 1970. In 1921, Bryn Mawr intensified its engagement with the world by opening its Summer School for Women Workers in Industry, which offered scholarships for broad-based programs in political economy, science, and literature to factory workers until 1938.
During the presidency of Marion Edwards Park, from 1922 to 1942, the College began to work toward cooperative programs with nearby institutions—Haverford College, Swarthmore College, and the University of Pennsylvania—that would later greatly expand the academic and social range of Bryn Mawr students. In 1931, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences began to accept male students. During the decades of the Nazi rise to power in Europe and World War II, Bryn Mawr became home to many distinguished European scholars who were refugees from Nazi persecution.
Respect for the Individual
From 1942 to 1970 Katharine Elizabeth McBride presided over the College in a time of change and growth. During McBride's tenure, the College twice faced challenges to its Quaker heritage of free inquiry and freedom of conscience. During the McCarthy era, Congress required students applying for loans to sign a loyalty oath to the United States and an affidavit regarding membership in the Communist party. Later, at the height of student protest against the Vietnam War, institutions of higher education were required to report student protesters as a condition of eligibility for government scholarship support.
On both occasions, Bryn Mawr was a leader among colleges and universities in protecting its students' rights. It was the first college to decline aid under the McCarthy-era legislation and the only institution in Pennsylvania to decline aid rather than take on the role of informer during the Vietnam War. Bryn Mawr faculty and alumnae raised funds to replace much of the lost aid, and a court eventually found the Vietnam-era law unconstitutional and ordered restitution of the scholarship funds.
Opening Doors
During the 1960s, Bryn Mawr strengthened its ties to Haverford, Swarthmore and Penn when it instituted mutual cross-registration for all undergraduate courses. In 1969, it augmented its special relationship with Haverford by establishing a residential exchange program that opened certain dormitories at each college to students of the other institution.
During the presidency of Harris L. Wofford, from 1970 to 1978, Bryn Mawr intensified its already-strong commitment to international scholarship. Wofford worked hard to involve alumnae overseas in recruiting students and raising money for their support and for the support of Bryn Mawr's extensive overseas programs. Wofford, who later became a U.S. senator, also initiated closer oversight of the College's financial investments and their ramifications in the world.
Mary Patterson McPherson led the College from 1978 to 1997, a period of tremendous growth in the number and diversity of students—approximately 1,300 undergraduates, nearly a quarter of whom were women of color. During McPherson's tenure, Bryn Mawr undertook a thorough re-examination of the women-only status of its undergraduate college and concluded that providing the benefits of single-sex education for women—in cultivating leadership, self-confidence and academic excellence—remained essential to the College's mission.
When McPherson stepped down from the presidency, she had led two successful capital campaigns, balanced the budget, instituted a program of long term planning, and overseen the creation of two new libraries. At the time of McPherson's retirement, Hanna Holborn Gray '50, then chairman of the board of trustees, remarked, "Pat's unwavering dedication to rigorous standards of intelligent thinking and constructive debate, combined with her humor and zestful delight in the variety and range of the human comedy, have communicated to all of us both her seriousness and her joy in enabling and enhancing the qualities that lie at the heart of our college."
Strengthening the Institution
Nancy J. Vickers, Bryn Mawr's president from 1997 to 2008, began her tenure by leading the College community to a clear understanding of its priorities and the challenges it would face in the next century through the adoption of the Plan for a New Century. When she retired in June 2008, she left the College with a 40 percent increase in undergraduate applications, a completed fund-raising campaign that tripled the goal of the previous campaign and an endowment that had nearly doubled since she took office.
Beyond attaining a sound financial footing for the College, Vickers oversaw dramatic changes in the academic program, in outreach and in infrastructure, while remaining true to the College's historic mission. Those changes include refining undergraduate recruiting messages and practices, initiating new interdisciplinary programs and faculty positions, improving student life, embracing cross-cultural communication, upgrading the campus' use of technology, renovating many buildings, and achieving worldwide visibility through the Katharine Houghton Hepburn Medal.
Under Jane McAuliffe's leadership, 2008 to 2013, the College committed itself anew to liberal arts for the twenty-first century. It initiated the innovative 360° Program, through which students investigate an issue or theme from multiple disciplinary perspectives, and became a national leader among liberal arts colleges in combining the strengths of online and classroom teaching—blended learning—in its liberal arts curriculum. McAuliffe spearheaded strategic partnerships with several universities and colleges across the globe. Addressing global needs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), Bryn Mawr continued to be a leader in preparing students for careers in these fields and recruited its first STEM Posse cohort of students.
Excellence in Action
Kimberly Wright Cassidy, president since 2014, articulates and pursues the College's commitment to academic excellence that leads to meaningful engagement with the world.
During her nearly seven-year tenure as Provost and Interim President, Cassidy collaborated with Bryn Mawr's faculty to make Bryn Mawr a leading innovator in liberal arts education. She led the development of the College's interdisciplinary 360° courses, the introduction of new academic programs (including new majors in International Studies, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and a minor with Haverford College in Environmental Studies), and the advancement of digital initiatives within the classroom. She is committed to the value of the scholar/teacher model and its premise that the most exciting and powerful teaching is done by faculty who are actively creating new knowledge.
In Fall 2016, Cassidy and Haverford College President Kim Benston reaffirmed the two colleges' decades' long collaborative relationship with a formal Memorandum of Understanding. Cassidy has also worked to strengthen ties with the University of Pennsylvania and Swarthmore and played a key role in establishing Bryn Mawr's 4+1 and 3+2 dual-degree opportunities for students, such as an A.B./M.A. program with University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science.
As president, Cassidy has been a public champion of women in STEM and has represented the College at a White House summit on STEM as well as a summit on college access, a value to which Bryn Mawr has long been committed. On campus, she is leading the effort to apply lessons learned from using blended learning in STEM subjects to the humanities. She also has launched the Leadership, Innovation, and the Liberal Arts Center (LILAC), which works with students to help them build pathways from their liberal arts education to their professional goals through career and professional development, experiential learning opportunities, and civic engagement. In addition, Cassidy has hosted three campus-wide gatherings to engage all campus constituents in dialogue about difference with respect to race and class, and is focused on creating a new ethos around joy and wellness, including the design and construction of a new student facility.
Today, Bryn Mawr College continues and expands its traditions of academic excellence, opportunity for women, respect for the individual, and purposeful action in the world.

It's as close to a five-year plan as there is in the music business. A three record deal through Sky Council, a NYC based label with major distribution through Sony. It'd be a big deal for any professional musician. When Andre Obin talks about the details of his debut 'The Arsonist' - the first of the three planned releases - his emotions bounce from happy, stressed, relieved, hopeful, anxious and overwhelmed, and proud.
It's as close to a five-year plan as there is in the music business. A three record deal through Sky Council, a NYC based label with major distribution through Sony.
It'd be a big deal for any professional musician.
When Andre Obin talks about the details of his debut 'The Arsonist' - the first of the three planned releases - his emotions bounce from happy, stressed, relieved, hopeful, anxious and overwhelmed, and proud.
Across the album's nine tracks, Obin plays in waves of synth, delivers abtruse, eerie lyrics and robotic vocal lines and embraces the bass to produce, what he hopes is, a fully developed listening experience. It's dark, dreamy and you can dance to it.
Obin, a Watertown native, spoke to WickedLocal.com over the course of four months and several interviews, the first time being at the Thirsty Scholar in Somerville in December of 2012, the last on Monday. We talked influences, musical and otherwise, drank beer, listened to music and played a bunch of Nintendo (Rad Racer and Ice Hockey, mostly).
He's currently in Austin TX, playing South by Southwest (SXSW), which is just part of a cross-country tour in support of 'The Arsonist'. You can pick up your physical copy (limited vinyl or CD) or download it on Tuesday, Mar. 19.
Obin first started playing when he was 13-years old. Now, 33, he's released a handful of well-received and critically praised EPs, shared the bill with names like M83, Washed Out and Tycho. He's played around the world and released music on labels such as Brooklyn's Moodgadget, Boston's Vanya Records and European labels Trouw Amsterdam, Mina and Klopfgeist. In the last two years, he's won a Boston Music Award for the spacey synth track "Soft Rain," been chased by a tank in his music video for "Valencia" and received kind words from places like Pitchfork, the Boston Phoenix, Fader, iso50 blog, the Boston Globe, Consequence of Sound and early cheerleaders, the Dig.
It's been a crazy year for Obin. He returned from a trip to Germany and Holland, playing shows in Groningen, Utrecht and Amsterdam. That was soon followed by a tour down the east coast of the U.S., ending in Florida. He returned to the northeast in the fall of 2012 with a mission to release a proper full-length LP. In September, he signed with Sky Council after meeting label head and producer T. H. White and started recording new tracks as well as reworking others. Unfortunately year ended on a sour note when, in November, his apartment burned down.
Obin's Somerville apartment suffered an electrical fire, displacing him and his girlfriend. It destroyed his home studio space, some personal belongings, and a significant amount of his musical gear and equipment. Friends, led by Vanya Records head Michael Marotta, started a donation fund and released Friends of Andre, an 18-track compilation record (including AVOXBLUE, Bearstronaut, Earthquake Party and RIBS) to raise money for Obin to replace some lost gear and get back finishing his album.
Meet Andre
In December of 2012, I met Obin at the Thirsty Scholar just outside of Inman Square. Aside from being affected by darkness or drugs, a person's pupils can dilate when they're excited, angry, overwhelmed, worried. It's bat-cave dark inside the bar just outside of Inman Square in Somerville, but I can see Andre Obin's pupils grow even larger as he talks about his new record.
"I'm sorry I'm late, I've been in the middle of mastering the new album," Obin says apologetically, offering a hand. "I've been working on this with the label in New York and we've kind of been going back and forth on the phone. Things are good, but it's just a bit stressful."
Obin is dressed in all black, wearing a heavy, long winter coat. He's 5' 11", with dark eyes, and his hair runs past his ears, slightly curling at the ends. After ordering a beer, he settles in and starts to talk about his work on the album. He's clearly a bit anxious, admitting it's been a big change learning to work with a team. For five years now, Obin has been working on his solo act. In the past few alone, a typical week has consisted of a nine-to-five job at a local college bookended with 5-hour drives to New York City – often alone – to play shows and record and master the new album. What free time he's had, Obin has split between a girlfriend, setting up shows, and to relax, watching his favorite sports team, the Boston Bruins.
"I don't think I'll ever have kids, this is my kid…music is my baby," he admits. It's a bit shocking to hear someone so sure of such a large life decision, but as he continues to talk, Obin makes it clear that he's thought about it long enough. "I've already spent $28,000 of my own money on this record," he adds. "Working a regular job, that's a large part of what I make in a year already."
Obin was born in Cambridge and grew up in Watertown until the age of 12.
"My family on my mom's side is half-Armenian and half-Italian," he says. "My dad, who's half-Irish and half-French, is also from Watertown - the other end, the west end."
At 12, his parents bought a home in Leominster and he followed, attending high school there.
Venting a bit, Obin says he had a rough childhood, adding that he's always bit a bit high strung.
"My parents were awesome and my best friends, I loved them, but I've always been an artist even if I didn't know it so it's always been sort of a struggle to juggle everything in my head," he says. "I think at a very young age I realized that I felt the need to do something important so immediately as a child I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. My kindergarten teacher called me the nervous wonder because I was very bright but I was also obviously neurotic."
He laughs and says nothing has really changed.
"I just totally blew up at my label manager and I didn't even mean to and I ended up apologizing at the end of it," he sheepishly explains. "Mainly because I just care about art so much and I care about the details so much."
Obin says he's learned to deal with the anxiety in a few different ways.
"It goes in waves," says. "I'm in different levels of happiness or different levels of despair and they're always oscillating through each day. No one has a perfect day. I kept you waiting tonight. It's one of those things. I take my lows with my highs and I really feel everything and it's a lot sometimes."
Doubling as his own doctor, Obin says he doesn't take prescriptions, adding he prefers to self medicate. He drinks, smokes (although he's trying to quit cigarettes) and occasionally takes reality-altering substances.
"But I have a beautiful girlfriend and I love to walk and run and I try to take care of myself as best I can," he says. "The Bruins are a huge escape for me. I'm never quite satisfied only because I'm trying to make really exquisite, timeless music and I'm on a very fixed budget and I don't have very much time so every second counts and it's tough to make people realize that sometimes."
The Arsonist
On one hand, 'The Arsonist' is a true debut for Obin, a full-length with a proper, wide release. On the other hand, several of the songs have been previously released on different singles - "The Arsonist", "Lemon Drop", "Soft Rain", "Gazelle" and "Golden Hair."
"That's a big part of my catalogue that's kinda stuck with me in the last five years," he says. The new songs, he says, include an abstract dance track reminiscent of "Golden Hair" called "Enjoy", a a slow burning shoegaze track called "Blue Powder" and the album closer "Anthem," which Obin says is sort of an ode to his electronica heroes like The Chemical Brothers, and Prodigy.
"I'm really excited about that one," he says.
Obin has spent years on his tracks, tweaking levels, re-mixing and adding musical highlights.
"That's kind of the way I work, I'll always write little snippets and I will record all the snippets and then over the course of a month or a year or a decade I'll unveil certain snippets that kind of inspire me and I'll develop them," he says.
For example, on "Blue Powder", Obin says he wrote the baseline this past summer and then reopened the track in the fall and finished the song in two weeks - extremely fast for him.
"Usually it seems to take years," he says. "I have songs that I wrote in 2004 that I'm hoping to release in 2014."
As for the album name, Obin says there were a few other titles being considered, but after the fire The Arsonist won out. Plus, he adds, the title track has become a fan favorite and live set staple.
"It feels like the right time to compile all the songs of that color that I've been collecting," he says. Obin plays bass, synth, guitar, sings and did all of the programming on 'The Arsonist.'
"I wish I could play drums but I'm a terrible drummer but luckily I've been blessed with incredible drummers in my life," he said. "I've got some nice gear that my dad, God bless him, he repaired a lot of my gear that was caught in the fire. I don't know how he repaired them. He used to work in cryogenics so he doused a lot of my gear with liquid nitrogen and then basically used compressed air to spray all the nitrogen off."
Self-described as a 'sonic head,' he says nothing's more important than finding that perfect sound.
A musical childhood
Over a cigarette and a cold beer, Obin talks about his childhood and growing up loving music. It's Feb. 13 and we're back in Somerville, getting ready to head to the Scholar to catch the Bruins game. Obin is nervously playing with his iPhone after hearing his favorite band, My Bloody Valentine, is rumored to release their first proper album in over 20 years tonight.
"My first musical experience was listening to my dad's blues band in the basement of my uncle's house. They were in a band for their entire life," he says. "My godfather is also my dad's best friend from growing up and they played in a band called the Curtis Dogwood Blues Band from 1968 to 1972 or something like that."
Although he grew up listening to the blues, he admits he's not very fond of the genre. He also credits his grandmother on his mother's side, who was full-blood Armenian, who was a gifted piano player.
"She never taught me anything but she let me sit on the piano when I was a little kid and I think I became familiar with tonal qualities just from sitting in front of the piano," he says, "especially, I remember when I was 6 or 7 years old, being really into the black keys on a piano, and I still am.
Those keys and tones tend to be a little bit more, sort of, mysterious," he adds. "I sort of always associated those tones with night, or something. 'Lemon Drop' is all black keys except two, those are essential."
In middle school, Obin caught the ear of his music teacher, who urged him to pick up an instrument. After six years of saxophone, he realized that it wasn't a great fit. Around the same time, his father gifted his bass to his son.
"I've been playing bass guitar ever since," he says.
Obin also found musical inspiration in his dad's vinyl collection, repeatedly listening to albums like Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, Electric Ladyland and the first Doors record.
As a teen, he got into bands like Fugazi and the Deftones and joined a hard-core band. It wasn't until college that he started studying music.
"I took simple music theory courses my freshman and sophomore years at Wheaton and then I went to Oxford University my junior year abroad in England and I spent three semesters there and I started really getting into electronic music while I was over there," he said.
Studying under electronic composer Ian Gibson, Obin learned how to program beats and use rudimentary technology like Q Base and C Sound. Back at Wheaton during his senior year, Obin continued to study with composer Posie Escott who was well known for her work with spectral analysis of music.
"I ended up getting my degree in electro-acoustic composition, which hasn't gotten me anything for a day job but it's something I still use today," he says.
Towards the end of college, Obin started playing in bands, bouncing from art rockers Delicate Pink, the electronic duo Matters and Dunaway and rock shoegaze outfit Eyes Like Knives.
"Ultimately, it all led me to my solo music," he says. "I'm very happy with all of the music those bands put out and I'm grateful for the lessons I learned playing with those people."
On his own musically in 2008, Obin said he felt that while his friends and former bandmates were growing up and moving on with life, he was reverting back to a teenager.
"I realized I needed to take the reins," he said. "Even if I'm not the best at it, I have to be driving the car."
Eletronic, punk, shoegaze and the state of the industry
It's clear to see when he talks about music, how much Obin loves it. It's Jan. 10, and Obin has agreed to make me a mix of some of his favorite tracks on Spotify. He calls the mix 'Vitriolic Dance.'
"I have two favorite time periods for music," he says. "Certainly the late 70's, post punk, bands like Wire, Joy Division, Gang of Four, Public Image Ltd. I feel a close bond with that era."
He says he's also especially fond of the early 90's shoegaze era and bands like Ride, Slow Dive and, most of all, My Bloody Valentine.
"I feel like a lot of my rock music comes from listening to those bands," he says.
As for electronic music, Obin says he enjoys producing and listening to dance tracks as well as more meditative tunes.
"I think part of my success has been sticking to my guns with dance music in a way," he says. "I still really value a four-to-the-floor beat. There was a point in my career where I wanted to go beatless. I love Indie music, too, but I also like to make an audience move."
But, he says, while he admires producers like Dedmau5 and Skrillex, he feels like the emotional connection just isn't there.
"I just value the human voice so much," he says. "I also value things that are abstract and weird and strange in terms of sounds. Like Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin, those bands have got extremely strange sounds. I like that otherworldly aspect of electronic music.
To me there's nothing better than when an electronic act combines dance elements with song structure and beautiful sounds and beautiful endings," he adds. "Ultimately that's what I'm trying to do."
It's telling that in the past few years Obin has played shows with some of the rising names in that scene. Bands like M83, Washed Out and Matthew Dear have won fans over with an unique blend of synth sounds, dream wave and dance beats.
"Opening for Washed Out in September was a cool gig," he says, recalling the show at the Paradise. "It's very infrequent that I do this but if there's an artist coming around town that I want to open for, I'll reach out to a booking agency. It's very rare that I do that anymore, mainly because I like to play DIY shows."
"I opened for Peter Hook (Joy Division) there too," he adds. "That's one of the best parts of doing this stuff. It's also like sticking your neck out in traffic."
Obin gets quiet for a minute, reflecting then finally speaks.
"I got a lot of great press from that [Washed Out] gig," he said. "I was at a stage in my life where I was a little too plugged in to press as well and negative press really affects me. I got 10 great reviews and then two really scathing reviews and of course I think about those two scathing reviews."
He continues, explaining that while he understands critics, the press and the job they do, they tend to expect the unattainable; a perfect performance each night.
"I think journalists, in general, take a lot for granted in terms of what the artist is going through," he says. "I've seen great bands totally implode on stage before. I've seen it all. It's impossible to have a great show every single night. I've seen audiences get really upset with a big-time performer sometimes."
"When there is such a focus on perfection all the time, it's easy for people to throw daggers at you especially when you try to incorporate organic elements into electronic music," he explains.
Making it in the music business is extremely difficult and the fact isn't lost on Obin. Even with all his accolades, support from the Boston community and a three-record deal, he knows it's an uphill battle.
"I love this city with all my heart but it's tough here," he says. "After Moe Pope won that Boston Music Award in 2011, that's the first thing they said -- this is like our sixth time we were nominated and we love this city but, man, is it difficult here."
He points to a lack of money and a lack of exposure, not just in Boston, but all over the country.
In the end it just comes down to putting out true music that can stand up on its own, he says. It's not about money, getting the best gear or being famous, he adds. The apartment fire, while devastating and costly, he explains, just strengthened his reserve.
"I really don't have much gear, especially after my house fire and I appreciate your not bringing it up," he says. "But just losing gear, if I wasn't the person I am, that would have really affected me but I don't own anything. That's not how I feel. I use things. I use tools. I have this saying, when people start to get hung up on money it really irks me and I always say, you're not going to buy my soul. My soul is my sole possession. There's no way you can get to it. I've purposely put it somewhere that no one can get to. It's hidden away. Sometimes I can't even reach it. That's how shielded it is. The only time I expose it is in my art. Because that's the only time I want to expose it."
Somerville standard
In early February, Obin again agrees to meet up for a beer and discuss the rapidly approaching release of his album. Heavy handed with a twelve pack of beer, he arrives at my incredibly old apartment in Union Square, Somerville.
"People are so real here. I have strange affinity for Somerville," he says walking inside. "It's got character. It's just oozing with character. I love that."
An old-school 8-bit Nintendo is powered on and Obin's eyes spark at the sight of some old classics he used to play. As he starts to play Rad Racer, he's scary focused; only breaking to inhale the occasional puff of smoke.
He recounts his former gaming days, saying that he probably overdosed on Atari as a kid.
"I played Super Breakout all the time," he says. "It might have been one of the reasons I got into electronic music. Video games came first, dad's vinyl came second. I distinctly remember getting in trouble at 4 a.m. because I was still up playing."
As Autechre drifts onto the mix, Obin drifts back into talking about music. He's got an encyclopedic knowledge of bands, instruments and back-stories. He goes on tangents about the Velvet Underground, Overworld, and the Boston Bruins. He sits static playing Nintendo, getting up the next second to change a song. I ask a question and he responds, four minutes later, simply nodding and saying, 'yeah.'
He lurches into details about his new record, his label, his deadlines and it occurs to me that he just can't turn off his mind. When he runs his hands through his hair for the 34th time, clearly stressed, I suggest another game and another beer.
"I do have a hard time turning off," he admits. "I guess it's just the way I am. My favorite class in school was civics, because I really like to memorize stuff and I think it's the only reason I got good grades.
"But something like physics," he says. "That's something can't commit to memory. It's something you need to be able to flow with. I would never have been a good physicist, whereas, anything you could memorize, I'm good at. I'm good at trivia."

Two Nepalis were injured in a clash that erupted between youths from Nepal and India at the no-man's land following a debate over construction of a dam by Indian authorities. Dev Narayan Yadav of Tilathi-4 and Roshan Jha of Tilathi-6 were injured after receiving stones hurled by the Indians. Among the injured, the condition of Yadav is said to be serious. It is learnt that Indian locals targeted Yadav as he had been protesting the dam constructed illegally by the Southern neighbor. The clash was ensued after local youths demolished a dam that was being constructed by India at the no-man's land breaching international norms. Nepali youths damaged some 80 percent of the dam constructed by India.@myrepublica

You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

Murray: Verdasco will have edge
Andy Murray will hope he is not extended quite as much as he was the last time he played Fernando Verdasco when they meet in the fourth round of the French Open on Monday.
Murray went into extra time in a fifth set for the first time in his career in beating German Philipp Kohlschreiber 3-6 6-3 6-3 4-6 12-10 at Roland Garros.
The pair had been held up by darkness at 7-7 on Saturday as Murray battled cramp, and it was the Scot who came out on top, just, after 40 minutes on Sunday.
It was Murray's first five-set match since he fought back from two sets down to defeat Spaniard Verdasco in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year.
The win put Murray into the last 16 in Paris for the fifth consecutive time - he missed the tournament last year through injury.
In a nod to his critics, the 27-year-old said: "Not many people think I play particularly well on clay, so I would say that would give him (Verdasco) an edge there. He's obviously had some good results on clay.
"But he plays well on every surface. I t will be a tough match, for sure. He's incredibly talented, a very, very tough player. I need to play a good match and do everything I can to be fresh."
The Kohlschreiber match was Murray's first five-setter since his back surgery last September and his chance of progressing further may well depend on how well he recovers physically.
Murray produced one of his best performances on clay in Rome two weeks ago in losing a tight quarter-final against Rafael Nadal and believes he is learning all the time on the surface.
He said: " I've played well on clay the last few weeks. This last match against Philipp could have been one of my best wins if I managed to close out the fourth set, because he's a very, very tough player. Obviously it ended up becoming an extremely tough match.
"But it's a very good win for me to beat a player like him on this surface. Hopefully I can keep improving, keep learning.
"There were times when I was getting too far behind the baseline and being a bit too passive. I just need to try and make sure I get that balance right. And when I do, I play some good clay-court tennis."
Verdasco also had to finish off a match on Sunday, although his victory was a routine one over Richard Gasquet.
The 30-year-old, who is through to the last 16 for the first time in four years, said: "P laying Murray is never easy. He has wonderful tennis, and he won grand slams already, so I think he deserves all my respect.
"I have nothing to lose. He is a favourite because of his ranking. So I will try and play my best tennis."
The tournament lost another big name on Sunday when Roger Federer went down in five sets to Ernests Gulbis but Novak Djokovic breezed past Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
In the women's tournament, title favourite Maria Sharapova fought back from a set down to beat Sam Stosur.

Quote: "Clouds come floating in my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky." --Rabindranath Tagore
Idol: My Dad
Major: I'm not really sure what I would like to major in, but definitely something in the Creative Writing/Film Studies area.
Why Yale: Yale has been a part of my life since I was a 6-year-old swimmer, diving into the pool for the first time. Since then, the college has become a home of sorts, a place where I looked forward to visiting every time I got the chance. Once my knowledge of the campus expanded past the athletic complexes, I fell in love. The brilliant professors, the active student lifestyle, the rich history, even the school colors all made me realize that there really is no college more perfect for me than Yale.
Porter Says: "Jackie is a great sculler, has overcome adversity and strikes me as a strong person. I look forward to working with her and seeing just how good she can become."

You are just afraid that the object will move and disturb you right?^^^^
How can you not like to cuddle haha. Just movement wakes you I'm guessing?

yes i get wake up easily.... when i sleep i prefer silent and no movement which barely will happen.... -_-"
Yeah, I'd love to be in a relationship, but I can't gather the courage to ask anyone anymore, the one time i did, she rejected me in the worst possible way, she refused to even be my friend anymore, a complete cut off, which hurt me more than anything else could. so, I've pretty much adopted the idea, that I'd much rather be their friend, and mean something to them, than to be nothing to them at all. Anyone else have that problem?
They both have their advantages, and opposite.
It's great being single, it gives you freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want it.
But it sucks to not have someone you love around too...
Relationship is not necessarily better.
But I feel everyone needs love.
K y o y a = { L・O・V・E }
Both has fucked up sides tho, I rather be single but well life just want to keep torturing meh.
well umm..

But at the same time, guys have been making a hobby of attracting and flirting with girls *coughs* extremely evident on CR *coughs*. So this way of knowing for sure may not be dependable anymore.
Hey there. You look great tonight.
Want to go out somewhere nice? ;D
Being single is great.
When I had that whiny bitch on my back, she always asks me for something crappy that I can't even manage my time with either Home or Work. And when she calls me, she'll just get mad at me for not answering her calls.
No shit, sherlock. I'm at work that time. How can I answer your calls when people from AT&T's calling me?
Moving on, it's also expensive. Why do girls ask for so much stuff?
Girls ask for so much stuff, really? God, I'd love to be in that relationship where someone is buying me shit all of the time. I certainly wouldn't be asking left and right, though.
I'd love to be in an awesome relationship. But right now, I don't know that I'm going to go for that. In any case I'll probably go for a girl in my next relationship.
Peace.Love.Unity.Respect.Equality. = Harmony.
I don't know i just find it single is better.... not much relationship last forever anyway from what i see... better be with no one than be with the wrong one. After you b-up with him/her you'll be having this feeling that wanted be a kid again skinned knee heal faster than a broken heart..
Both have their pros and cons. Sometimes I prefer to be single, other times I prefer to be in a relationship.
Being in a relationship is always more comfortable. It's nice knowing you have someone who cares about you. Also, I find I tend to go out more when I have a boyfriend since we hang with both his friends and my friends. And a cuddle buddy and is always nice
But being single means having more freedom. I can flirt with, date, and have sex with whomever I want. Also, I have more time to spend with my girlfriends, and generally more time to do anything else. Still, it gets pretty lonely though.
Well I would perfer to be in a relationship cuz i really am not a flirty person at all and dont like when guys flirt with me so i'd rather be taken and i would rather think of my Boyfriend to be one of my Best friends too not just play the boyfriend role. Plus I've only had one bf so i really dont date all the time so yeah
I'm reaching out to you with my feeling, I hope you're reaching back too :)
You need someone you love in your life. Not being myself forever.
Never mind now
It´s not a question of "WHAT IS BETTER".
It´s rather a question of "what type of human being you are".
Humans are animals. They go for herds. They dislike beeing alone. That´s a fact.
But when you know, you´ve got no time for a relationship....a could be a good idea not to have one.
I know, it would be GOOD to have any relations with any other people.
But I´m working about 14-16 hours a day? Even my cats are angry with me for that.
It´s no question, that I dont have the time to get to know other humans.
It´s no question, that i dont have the time to start a relationship. And even if i COULD.... i´ve no time to keep that relationship alive.
So, i DO think, the best way is to have no relationship at all. No one ist beeing upset, when I get home late.
No one is waiting invain.... that´s not the best for me (sure..)
But the best for anyone else.
Dont always think of yourselves... consider your oponents live...

Mr. Cohen, declining; to make public the letter detailing the modifications out¬ lined by him and Dr. Philipson and ac¬ cepted I)y Mr. DeMille and the Putlic Jixch:inge, nevertheless stated that the picture as revised will be preceded by a special prologue or preface written and signed by thc prjaducer. In this preface Mr. DcMilte .seeks completely to excul¬ pate the Jews of guilt for thc death of Jesus. The responsibility for the cruci¬ fixion, Mr. DeMillc's preface will say, was entirely that of Caiphas, thc cor¬ rupt High Priest, <m npjiointec of the Roman Empire, and other hirelings of that despotism which at thc time held Judea in thrall. The revision of the "King of Kings" as it is to, he shown after January IRth in this country, brings to an end a con¬ troversy which has been waged against it on the grounds that it libeled the Jew¬ ish race against whom it tended tn arouse prejudice and also that from the histor¬ ical aspect it was grossly inaccurate. Protests against thc picture were not limited to Jews, many leading Catholics and prominent leaders of other Christian denominations inveighing af^aiiist it also. When, before it was licensed for produc¬ tion in London, it was privately displayed to an invited gathering of British clergy¬ men, thc same controversy broke. out theie. Dr. W. 0.

Assurance By Will Hays Definite assuranre hy Will Hays that the iiicture would not be shown in coun¬ tries where it might lead to pogroms, was triven last month as the outcfimc of a con ference between him and Kx-Governor Millikcn, rcprescnling the Motion Pic' ture Producers and Distributors of Anier^ ica, Inc., and Mr. Cohen and Dr. Philip¬ son. representing the B'nai IJ-'rith and other Jewish interests. 'J'he negotiations which have resulted in the complete 'acceptance of the Jewish point of view regarding "King of Kings" were begun last November on the initi¬ ative of Mr. Hays, who, over the long distance telephone invitcil Mr. Cohen and Dr. Boris D. Bogen to New York for a conference, which was hekl at Mr. Hays' office at IWJ Fifth Avenue.. Ex-Govenior Millikcn and Mr. John Fh'nn were pres¬ ent at thc conference, which, according to Mr. Cohen's report to the Executive Com¬ mittee of thc Independent Order of B'nai B'rith began with a "revealing .speech" by Mr. Hays, in which he said th<it he desired above everything else that the motion picture be an agency for thc greatest good; that he realized its vast possibilities between racial and religious groups, and rejoiced that it had been given to him to aid in directing it to that end. According to Mr. Cohen, Mr. Hays went ou tr> say that he had called thc conference because he sought to find thc way of good will and to shun all thc paths that lend to prejudice. At another conference thc following day, Mr. Hays tuld Mr. Cohen that he souglil friendly and'reliable guidance so ihat when the industry produced a picture having to do with Jew.s it could be sure that the picture wouki give no offense or bi^, even intiuceiitty, an instigator of prej¬ udice. To thi.s end, he invited the friendly cooperation of the B'nai B'rith with whose activities he was familiar,due to the many occasions when its Anti- Defamation League had called thc at¬ tention of the motion picture utdustry to filnis containing matter ofleiisive to the Jewish people. Following the conference .Mr. Hays wrote the following letter to Mr. Cohen: "Again I want to assure you of my appreciation of your acceptance of the invitation to come here and confer with us for the development of a fuller co¬ operation. "It is*, as you know, our most earnest purpose to avoid in pictures anything that will cfTcnd any race or creed. To that end, its I liai'c tokl you, wc do earnestly desire the cooperation of your distin¬ guished Order, recognizing its splendid quality and how thoroughly representative it is of Jewish opinion. "Let me again assure you, too, of my hope that you will keep in close touch with us, as we will with you, and that you freely let us have your opinion, as wc will feel free to ask it, on all niancrs which may aid in our mutual objective.

Lessons from the Real World Many people feel our public schools are failing, or at best, muddling through. What to do about this critical issue has almost exclusively focused on the efforts of No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top legislation to improve test scores in core subjects like math and reading. Yet, Lessons From the Real World, a new very timely and important one hour documentary from award-winning producer Bob Gliner (Democracy Left Behind, Heifer, Playing for Keeps), contends, like many educators, that focusing on test scores to improve student achievement is looking in the wrong place.

America's Armed Forces: Time for a Checkup At a time when laser-guided missiles, stealth technology and drone aircraft are game-changers on battlefields around the world, we sometimes overlook our nation's ultimate weapons system: the more than one million men and women who put their lives on the line every day in America's armed forces. In America's Armed Forces: Time for a Checkup, moderator John King of CNN and expert panelists examine the wide-ranging impacts health-related issues exact on our nation's military preparedness, national security, healthcare policy and economic stability. Topics include how everyday health issues, such as obesity and substance abuse, affect prospective recruits' eligibility to serve; how we assure that our service men and women are fit for the many difficult challenges they face in the post-9/11 world; and how we take care of our nation's wounded warriors.

China is planning a second and larger aircraft carrier, a top naval officer said according to state media Wednesday, after its first carrier was commissioned last year as part of a military buildup.
The confirmation of a second vessel comes amid escalating maritime territorial disputes between China and its neighbours, and the United States' increased focus on Asia which has riled China.
"China will have more than one aircraft carrier," Song Xue, deputy chief of staff of China's navy, said at a ceremony Tuesday to celebrate the 64th anniversary of the founding of China's navy, the Xinhua news agency reported.
"We hope the next aircraft carrier can be bigger, because then it would be able to carry more aircraft and be more powerful," he told foreign military attaches in Beijing.
China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, went into service in September in a symbolic milestone for the country's increasingly muscular military.
However, the vessel still requires a carrier group including destroyers, frigates and submarines while fighter jets need more training to be operational, Song said. In a report earlier this month China's defence ministry took aim at the United States and its expanding military alliances with Asian allies, saying that it was "frequently making the situation there tenser".
Tensions with Japan have spiraled in recent months in a row over Tokyo-administered islands in the East China Sea. Both sides have scrambled fighter jets in the area.
China is also at odds with Southeast Asian countries, including the Philippines, over other disputed islands in the South China Sea.
Washington's foreign policy "pivot" towards Asia in recent years is seen as emboldening China's rivals who are involved in the territorial spats.
China has also generated concern with double-digit rises in its annual defence budget — set at 10.7 percent for 2013 — with experts saying their actual military spending is substantially higher than the publicised totals.
Xinhua said Song provided no details on whether the vessel would be constructed or purchased, but dismissed as inaccurate foreign media reports that China is building new aircraft carriers in Shanghai.
Beijing purchased its first carrier from Ukraine before refurbishing it. The vessel had been commissioned by the former Soviet Union, but work halted with its collapse.
The Liaoning — named after a northeastern Chinese province — is not expected to be fully operational for several years, although late last year China conducted the first landing of a fighter jet on the vessel.

IPC Para Snowboard World Cup 2013 at Big White
March 29th, 2013
It was an exciting day in Big White's TELUS Park yesterday with the IPC Para-Snowboarding World Cup and the Sport Chek Under 14 Snowboardcross National Championships. The course started fast until a small snow shower rolled in dropping some sticky snow on the course, then the sun came out and provided great visibility for the riders and spectators.
The riders were extremely happy with the course that Big White has built and commented on how it really suited the Para-Snowboard World Cup athletes, and it showed, with some awesome racing yesterday. The athletes showed grit and determination while enjoying every moment of the competition.
Michelle Salt said, "From the second I found out about my leg, the Paralympics was on my mind. I will be a Paralympics snowboarder. I contacted Candice Drouin the National Para-Snowboard coach and told her that I would be on her team", on her drive of being a Paralympian. When asked about the IPC World Cup, Salt replied, "It's great. Everyone is so inspiring. Everyone has a fantastic story and to be around inspirational and amazing people is great. We're like one big family".
Tyler Mosher who placed fourth today, commented on the introduction of Para-Snowboard in the Paralympics, "I am totally excited. I had to put myself back together and say hey, you know what, I'm not done yet I'm still young enough to get out there and do my best. It's important that children of all abilities have the opportunity to snowboard. When I learned to walk again after my spinal cord injury, snowboarding wasn't offered for people living with disabilities. Now that it's in the Paralympics, it will be founded at a grass root level throughout the world and that's a huge success story in itself. Canada has been a huge leader in this. Canada Snowboard, Sport Canada and Own the Podium have really been pushing for this. We've helped develop the sport and we're going to see huge success over the next several years".
Mosher reflected on the day saying, "It's good here in Big White. The course is perfect. I really have no excuses, if I gave it my all I should end up on the podium. I'm happy with my racing today. As long as I'm having fun in the process, it's always a winning day".
"I'm pretty excited right now. Honestly I didn't think I would win". Said Austin White on his win today in the under 14 category. "I guess luck was on my side today. I feel like I had a good start and went from there".
The action continues in TELUS Park today with the Snowboard Cross timed runs and the Junior Nationals finals.

(A selection of Colorado Rapids U-13s is in Costa Rica participating in the Saprissa Cup. The kids, ranging from 10-13 years-old, provide updates from their trip).
By Connor, Cal, and Hank
We started out at about 3:00 pm on the bus that was going to take us to the game. It was fun to look at all of the neat things on the streets of Costa Rica that you wouldn ́t be able to see in America like the food stands and all of the people out and about.
Once we arrived at the fields, we headed into our own locker room which was really cool! We got changed into our warm up stuff, used the bathrooms, and then headed out for our warm up which was SUPPOSED to be on the field. The problem was though that some other little teams thought it was their day to practice on the field and so we decided to take the high road and let them have the field for a while. Once they had finally finished we went into the locker rooms and got dressed for the game.
Once the whistle blew the team we were playing, Belen, came out hot and we came out flat after not having our usual warm up. Belen got a quick goal in about the 10th minute to take the lead 1-0. The game dragged on for a long time in the first half with Belen controlling the game before Belen had a chance to really hit us with a dagger. They had a penalty kick. The tallest kid on the team who looked like his number 24 was actually his age came up and put the penalty where no professional could even save it. 2-0 was the score heading into halftime.
With a brief talk about defensive pressure, and substitutions with fresh legs, we were able to control the game in the second half, which was a total change from the way the first half went. In the 50th minute we had won a free kick from about 25 yards out and had Marco Rios ready to take it, and take it he did. He put the ball in the left side netting.
Our break-through had come and now we were fired up and on the scoreboard. 10 minutes later Marco Rios received a bouncing pass from the same left wing and took a quick turn shot from 17 yards out and put it in the same corner he had earlier. Now we had the momentum. We were dominating play, but one fast break for Belen off of a turnover and they put the ball in our corner of the net off of their break away. 3-2 was the final score and Belen had beaten us.
Even though it was an extremely tough loss for us, we never stay down long and there is absolutely no way that this is going to hold us back from reaching our full potential on this incredible trip.

What They Are Saying … about the Bradley Manning verdict
What some of the nation's political commentators and editorial boards are saying about the acquittal of Bradley Manning:
Verdict good for freedom
Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private who gave hundreds of thousands of secret U.S. documents to WikiLeaks, was found guilty this week by a military judge of more than a dozen crimes, including espionage. But Manning was acquitted of the most serious charge: "aiding the enemy." The acquittal, as Slate's Fred Kaplan explains, is good news for journalists whose leak-based reports, under the government's rationale, would have been prosecutable as capital crimes. It's also good news for freedom, human rights and common sense. The case for convicting Manning of aiding the enemy was preposterous.
— William Saletan, Slate
Government overreached
But the government also deserves a wrist slap. Rather than taking the win, the government tried to make a chilling example of Manning with the accusation that he was aiding and abetting the enemy. It was such an overreach. So much about Manning has the look and feel of a whistleblower and not a spy. Score a big loss for the government — a deserved one – for overreaching.
— Jim Mitchell, Dallas Morning News
Whistle-blowers may be deterred
One might think the judge's rejection of the aiding-the-enemy charge would temper the Obama administration's unprecedented zeal for prosecuting disclosures of classified information. That seems unlikely. Whether the target is Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who exposed the bulk collection of Americans' phone records, or Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, the State Department contractor suspected of leaking information about North Korea to Fox News, the administration seems determined to use criminal law to plug leaks even when they don't result in provable harm to national security, an aggressive posture that may deter genuine whistle-blowers.
— Los Angeles Times editorial

How to dual boot Linux and Windows XP (Linux installed first) — the step-by-step guide with screenshots
Updated 2 March 2009 – now uses Ubuntu 9.04 as the Linux distribution
Scenario: You want to install XP on your machine alongside your existing Linux installation on the same physical drive which already has Ubuntu 9.04 installed.
Tutorial Summary: We'll create space on the Linux partition to install Windows XP. XP bootloader is fairly clumsy when it comes to dualbooting and will overwrite GRUB completely. We'll reinstall GRUB to the MBR and configure it to dualboot both Ubuntu and XP.
This tutorial has been tested on a Sun Virtualbox 2.1.2 virtual machine.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Back up the GRUB boot menu#]
Regardless of which bootloader you end up using it's a very good move to first back up the GRUB bootloader. It's easy to lose it and unless you know how to re-write it from scratch then you're generally facing a full reinstallation of Ubuntu.
Firstly boot into Ubuntu and go to Applications –> Accessories –> Terminal. Then type in sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst.
This text file contains all the information GRUB uses to configure various boot options. Scroll down and the entries between "## ## End Default Options ##" and "### END DEBIAN AUTOMATIC KERNELS LIST" are the Linux boot options.
Make a backup of the file by going to File Save As and selecting a different location. Or take a full copy of the contents and place it into a new text file. If you can create the backup on a removable disk or networked location.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Make space for XP#]
Now we need to create space on the hard drive for XP so this will involve resizing the main Ubuntu partition. Restart the system using the Ubuntu Live CD as this gives you access to GNOME Partition Editor. When the CD loads select "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer".
Once the CD loads go to System Administration Partition Editor.
Right-click on the main data partition which has been formatted with ext3 – it should be /dev/sda1 – and select "Resize/Move".
Move the slider from the right to shrink the ext3 partition and create free space on the hard drive which will take the NTFS XP partition. Make sure that the free space is sufficient to hold XP (at least 2GB – preferably 5GB). Then click "Resize/Move" to confirm the selection and "Apply" back in the main screen to carry out the pending change.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Install Windows XP#]
Restart the system with the Windows XP CD and boot into the install program.
Unfortunately XP isn't so adaptive at handling existing partitions during installation. It detects the two Ubuntu partitions and marks then C: and E: accordingly. The remaining unpartitioned space which is available for XP will be marked as F:.
For the operating system and the vast majority of Windows applications which have properly-coded installation scripts this is not a problem. Some older applications will assume that C: is the system partition and may bring up errors. There are ways of changing the drive letter assignation of the system partition but in this scenario it's strongly discouraged.
To insult to injury XP detects the Linux partition as an active system partition and won't install unless it marks this partition as inactive.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Restore the GRUB boot loader#]
Once XP has been installed it will boot happily into XP but there's no sign of Ubuntu. To reinstate GRUB as the system bootloader it needs to be reinstalled into the MBR.
Boot the system from the Ubuntu Live CD and select "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer".
Open a Terminal session – Applications Accessories Terminal
To enter the GRUB configuration mode type in "sudo grub" and press Enter. Then type in the following commands in sequence:
– root (hd00) NOTE – if you moved the ext3 partition to the right then use (hd01)
– setup (hd0)
– quit
– exit
Reboot the system. You'll get the GRUB bootloader but XP won't be an option – we need to add this to the boot options.
Boot into Ubuntu and open up another Terminal session. Then type in sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Scroll down to the bottom of the file and type in the following text strings:
title Windows XP
root (hd01) (or (hd00) if Ubuntu is on the (hd01) partition)
chainloader +1
Save the file and reboot. When the GRUB loader launches hit ESC for the boot menu. Windows XP is the last option – select it and XP will load.
If you want to make the GRUB menu always available boot back into Ubuntu and edit the MENU.LST file. Find the hiddenmenu text string and change it to #hiddenmenu.
To increase the menu timeout change the default timeout 3 to something more appropriate.

Transforming Workplaces, People, Communities
As part of the 57th Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, ILR was honored for its work to eliminate violence against women and to engage men as allies with women to promote social change and gender equity.
The recognition was made in March in New York City by the New York Metropolitan Chapter of the U.S. National Committee for UN Women.
KC Wagner, co-chair of the Worker Institute at Cornell's Equity at Work initiative, accepted the award for ILR.
Wagner is an expert in the prevention of sexual harassment, gender bias and bullying, and in building workplace inclusiveness.
UN Women was created in 2010 by the United Nations General Assembly.
The U.S. National Committee for UN Women is an independent, non-profit organization that supports UN Women and social, political and economic equality for women and girls around the world. It works to improve access to education, employment opportunities and sustainable livelihoods that enable them to live free of gender-based violence.
Kimberly Campbell, a member of the UN Women Board of Directors, nominated ILR for the award.
"We spend more waking hours in the workplace than anywhere else and businesses are very influential in our culture. Therefore, they are in a unique position to open up conversations on these issues and set an example," she said. "Cornell ILR and KC Wagner, in particular, understand that. Their work – their research and their training – has literally transformed workplaces, people and communities"
"ILR is getting people to see that violence against women is a social issue, a community issue, a public health issue and a business issue, and that we all have a role in achieving gender equality and eliminating violence against women," Campbell said.
The event, which was emceed by television news journalist Roz Abrams and former NFL player Don McPherson, a women's rights advocate.

If any of you get down about your job—maybe your boss is a creep, the hours are too long, the company vending machine doesn't offer a creative variety—think for a moment about Foxconn, and this image:
That's the Foxconn (the industrial complex in Shenzhen that produces Apple's iPhones). Last year, eleven employees of Foxconn committed suicide by jumping to their deaths from factory windows. The image shows the company's initial response to the tragedies—three million square meters of mesh netting wrapped around the building to catch jumpers.
(An interesting side note: A similar means of deterrence was proposed in October of 2008 for the Golden Gate Bridge, which averages one suicide every two weeks.)
When I first saw the story about the nets, I thought that was perhaps the most shocking, reactionary corporate act I'd ever heard of. But, fortunately, that action was accompanied by some long-term changes that the industrial giant's leaders hope will change the lives and well-beings of its employees before they get to the point of suicidal thoughts.
They've set up a 24-hour counseling center staffed by 100 trained workers and they increased wages for factory workers by 50 percent. Finally, Terry Gou, Foxconn's founder, hired Burson-Marstellar to help devise a formal public-relations strategy.
Now, here's where I get cynical. Why was the public relations strategy needed? Because Foxconn's partners—Apple, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft—might try to distance themselves from Foxconn in light of the suicides? And by "distance" I mean take their business elsewhere? Absolutely.
I only hope the initiatives they've implemented for the workers themselves are more meaningful and deeper than a PR strategy. It looks like it's been moving in the right direction, according to this Businessweek article, The man who makes your iPhone.
