Sertoma History
{cited from Sertoma.org}
For more than ten decades, mankind has been served by a special family of volunteers, originally known as Co-Operators, and now as Sertomans. Each member of this organization can take pride in the colorful history of the Co-Operative Club International and Sertoma International. This history is based upon information gleaned from old SERTOMAN and THE CO-OPERATOR magazines on file at Sertoma Headquarters. These highlights occurred from the day the first Club was founded as the Co-Operative Club to present day Sertoma International activities.
The Co-Operative Club
The first official luncheon meeting of the founding Club was held on April 11, 1912, at the Coates House Hotel, then the fashionable hotel in Kansas City, Missouri. The founders of the first Co-Operative Club were George W. Smith, M.D., Charles E. Allen, M.D. and William R. Rowe. These three men are now recognized as the Founding Fathers of The Co-Operator Club of Kansas City, Missouri, and of Sertoma International.
In December 1920, Edward G. Freed, then President of the Kansas City Club, invited representatives from other clubs to meet together to consider forming an organization. Representatives from the Wichita, Manhattan, and Topeka, Kansas Clubs, and the Kansas City Club attended. The International organization was immediately formed, and Freed was elected the first International President.
On June 21, 1921, the first convention was held in Kansas City. Attending were 32 delegates representing six Clubs: Kansas City, Topeka, Manhattan, St. Louis, Chicago and Omaha. James P. "Daddy" Summerville, Charter President of the Kansas City, Missouri Club, was elected the second International President.
The Co-Operettes had its beginning in 1923 when the wives of the Members of the Co-Operative Club of Manhattan, Kansas, organized the first auxiliary, called the "Co-Op Lassies". In 1928, the Co-Operettes became a national organization.
Radio was used to promote the activities of the early Sertoma Club when Radio Station WHB in Kansas City – at that time one of the very few official government licensed broadcasting stations – offered the Club air time (the owner of Kansas City Station WHB, E.J. Sweeney, was a local member). This was another Sertoma "first".
"Make Life Worthwhile" was the slogan accepted by the organization in 1926. It was as good then as it is today.
The well-known Sugar Bowl classic in New Orleans had its beginning in Sertoma. In 1934 the New Orleans Club began this very successful project when former International Director Warren V. Miller introduced the resolution that the Club sponsor a football contest to be held in New Orleans during the Christmas holiday season.
In the early 1940s, confusion emerged between the Co-Operative Club name and consumer cooperatives. A contest was announced with a $500 cash prize offered for a name which might be selected. A total of 49 names were submitted. The Board of Directors narrowed the list down to seven to present to the 1948 Albuquerque Convention: Ambassadors, Century, Cooperators, Monarch, Operative, Sertoma and Sponsors. Noble W. Hiatt, then President of the North Indianapolis, Indiana Club, coined the name SERTOMA from the slogan, SERvice TO MAnkind, and his idea was selected. The official name change became effective on June 21, 1950.
International Focus
The first Sertoma Club chartered in Canada was at Windsor, Ontario in 1946. The organization at this time became truly International.
The need for an International sponsorship became apparent in 1949 – 1950, and the first sponsorship recommended to Clubs by the International Board of Directors was in 1949 by the Sertoma Club of Phoenix, Arizona, when the Club introduced the YES Program (Youth Employment Service). Sertoma International today holds the copyright to the name "YES", even though local, state and national government involvement in "employment services" has limited the need for Sertoma Club YES Programs.
The first Club chartered in Mexico was in Mexico City in 1956.
Dr. Charles Allen, Sertoma's last remaining founder, died during the spring of 1961, shortly after he had attended his Sertoma Club's luncheon meeting.
The original founder, Dr. George W. Smith, died in 1951, and Billy Rowe was listed as deceased sometime between 1951 and 1961.
The first International Convention outside the United States was the 1964 Convention, held in Mexico City, Mexico.
The first Sertoma Club established in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico was the San Juan Sertoma Club, chartered on August 14, 1965.
Plutarco Guzman became the first Sertoman who was not a United States citizen to be elected President of Sertoma International. The attorney from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, was elected at the 1972 International Convention in Dallas, Texas.
The most significant milestone of the 1970's was the introduction of Serteen and Collegiate Sertoma Clubs. The first Serteen Club, recognized in 1971, was the Page Equine Serteen Club of Greensboro, North Carolona. The first Collegiate Sertoma Club was the Collegiate Sertoma Club of the Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia, Kansas.
Women were welcomed as members of Sertoma in 1985 and comprise a vital part of our current membership. The first all-female Sertoma Club was the First Progressive Sertoma Club in Tampa, Florida, chartered November 22, 1985. In 1987, the International Board of Directors approved STAND (Sertomans Together Advocate No Drugs), an anti-drug education program, as an International Sponsorship.
In 1992 and 1993 the Communicative Disorders and Hearing Impaired Scholarships were established. Further 1990's milestones included the 1997 introduction of the Sertoma Fantasy Baseball Camps and the surpassing of its $10 million goal by the Foundation for the Building A Legacy endowment campaign.
The New Century 2000 – 2002 saw the introduction of the first city-wide service project as a part of the International Convention in Tampa, which was a great success. The Community Service Matching Grant, funded by the Foundation, found enthusiastic support throughout Sertoma. And, the first female president, Diana Caine-Helwig SOARed during her 2001-2002 term.
The first issue of the Sertoman Digest was published in November 2002. This publication was designed with an organizational focus to be mailed between isssues of the Sertoman Magazine.
Sertoma joined the WISE EARS! Coalitioin, a health education campaign of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). Headquarters introduced the Sertoma International/WISE EARS! Campaign to the clubs for implementation during May's Better Hearing & Speech Month. This national service project was focused on noise-induced hearing loss.
SERTOMA SAFEEARS! … to hear the future was introduced in January 2005 in order to rebuild Sertoma's brand as the speech and hearing service organization. SAFEEARS! became the first national service project that had support from non-Sertoma corporate and organizational partners.
Sertoma Foundation
On November 15, 1960, the Sertoma Foundation which is now known as the Annual Fund was formed to strengthen the partnership between our international organization and our clubs. In 1963, after a long search for an International sponsorship, Sertoma clubs were encouraged to help the more than 24 million Americans who have speech and hearing disorders. This sponsorship continues to be of utmost relevance, as there are currently over 50 million Americans with speech and hearing disorders.
The Foundation began to establish Sertoma Centers for Communication Disorders in 1973.
Four years later, the Foundation began to encourage affiliation with existing speech and hearing facilities and departments. The Affiliate program has been very successful, with over 300 facilities now affiliated with Sertoma clubs and the Foundation.
The Foundation provides the funding for scholarships and grants. It has created public education materials and an advisory council of speech and hearing professionals. It was a founding member of the Council for Better Hearing and Speech Month. In 1986, the Foundation coordinated Better Hearing and Speech Month for the entire country.
In 1992, the Building a Legacy campaign was launched to grow the endowment. Pledge payments and new gifts perpetuate the benefits for Sertoma programs.
Recently, the Legacy 2000 Wills campaign was launched with the philosophy "A will for every Sertoman, Sertoma in every will". Today, the Foundation continues to place strong emphasis on financially supporting the programs of Sertoma International through annual, planned and endowment giving.
Merger of Sertoma International and Sertoma Foundation
Approval of the "plan of merger" by the membership authorizes the Boards of Sertoma International and Sertoma Foundation to file, amend, and consolidate legal, governing, and operational documents and procedures necessary to implement the plan and meet the statutory requirements of the State of Missouri. The result being a new Sertoma corporation operating as a national 501(c)(3) public charity effective July 1, 2008.
Present and Future
Sertoma's history continues to flourish. Our milestones and accomplishments multiply as we build Sertoma, and our history is a virtual pictorial of events. We make history through our SERvice TO MAnkind.

Hi, let's see if you can follow this... I have made a virtual class that inherits from another virtual class. The old virtual class had a implementation class that inherited from it that now instead inherits from my new virtual class. The new implementation class made for the new virtual class needs to use some functions from the "old" implementation class that are only defined inside that class and not in the old virtual class.
How do I set things up so that my new implementation class can use functions from the other implementation class that are not defined in the original virtual class?

2010 Royal Ascot is just under a month away. Last year, our post on Ascot proved very popular, gaining the most reads out of all of our entries. This is probably because Ascot is a melting pot and people from all different walks of life can be found here.
Next week we will talk about how to picnic in style at Royal Ascot. This week, we recap on what should and should not be worn when at the races.
Alexandra Messervy, Founder, The English Manner: "Morning suits and top hats are de-rigeur, as of course are the most fabulous hats. Trousers for ladies are now permitted, but skirts must not be far above the knee, and if you are hoping to enter the Royal Enclosure you will need to apply for a sponsored badge many months in advance, with a reference from a member of the Royal Enclosure. Top hats should always be black silk, and morning suits can be grey or black – my own preference is grey. Ladies' Day is the traditional one to 'be seen', when even the more conservative hat-wearer can really push the boat out. A word of caution though: if you are not used to wearing a hat, practice putting it on and off and wearing it around the house several times before the big day, and learn to relax – otherwise you will have severe neck strain and a bad headache before you go near the champagne!
William Hanson, Tutor, The English Manner: "In 2008 Royal Ascot was in the news as ladies were turning with too much fake-tan applied and in some extreme cases, they deemed it appropriate to go without knickers. This is never acceptable. Anywhere. For women, it is advisable that cocktail dresses are avoided. Having too much flesh open to the elements at a predominantly outdoor event will only cause goose pimples. Dress colours that work well are pastels, bright colours, neutrals such as cream and fawn, although fashion changes and each year will see a different colour or shade in vogue. As for materials, linen creases easily and for an event where you may be sitting to picnic (smart race-goers do this in Number One car park), this is not a good idea. Lightweight wool and silk are preferable. Dresses and jackets that can be removed easily if you get too hot are canny choices. Skirts that ride up when you sit down are not, however. The Queen often wears one main colour all the way up (including the hat) which accentuates height and can make shorter people look taller. Umbrellas may be a nuisance but are worth it if it begins to rain. They can be left in the cloakroom if needs be: parasols are naff."
For further advice on Royal Ascot, please see last year's (very popular) entry, or feel free to contact us.

There will be a ton of interesting research and prototypes on display at the Computer Human Interaction (CHI) conference in Paris this week.
The "interactivity" section will be buzzing with activity and there will be hands-on opportunities with some of the most interesting research projects.
"CHI is a really interesting mix because it's the place where people who are interested in technology and human beings come together," said Wendy Mackay, general chair of CHI.
"It's a way for us as a community to digest very large topics by bringing specialists of different backgrounds together," said Patrick Baudisch technical co-chair of the conference.
The Hasso Plattner Institute will show two if its research projects. One is a real-time laser cutter that will cut out designs using a 150-watt laser as they are sketched. The other one has to do with electrodes that attach to the forearm and give force feedback, basically turning the body into an actuator.
Past years at CHI have seen some interesting research and prototypes, including electric lemonade last year and Zero Touch, where researchers from Texas lined a 55-inch television with IR or infrared effectively turning it into a low cost touch screen.

Pari island's western coasts include five smaller islands, namely: Gudus Island (Pulau Gudus), Middle Island (Pulau Tengah), Beautiful Bird Island (Pulau Burung Indah), Partnership Island (Pulau Kongsi) and Rat Island (Pulau Tikus).
The island-clustered lagoon that promises panoramic views is best explored by snorkeling or simply walking along the coasts of clean, white sandy beaches."
One of the many little spots of paradise just a stone's throw away from the bustling metropolitan capital, Jakarta, Pari Island is quite different from the more popular islands of Pramuka and Tidung. Although not as popular a tourist destination, to a small community of "executive fishermen" it is one of the best fishing spots in the Thousand islands, otherwise known as Pulau Seribu. Tourists are sparse here, so if tranquility & peace is what you seek, you can be sure to find it here.
You will never tire of the beach sceneries on Pari Island. Swimming, diving or even snorkeling to catch a glimpse of the pretty coral beneath the warm waters is not to be missed. Make your way to Pantai Pasir Perawan (or Virgin Beach, so named because the early pioneers here had to work very hard to open the route to get there the first time) and feel the warm white sand between your toes. Here the sea breeze blows warmly and sends mild waves along the shores for children and even grown-ups to have plenty of fun!
Volleyball and futsal fields are available on the beach including a bamboo shelter with seats, a rowboat for paddling along the coast, and rubber tubes to play with in the water. At sunset, enjoy ice-cold coconut water as the warm evening sea breeze caresses and refreshes you : a sure remedy for stress and a tired mind. Soft white sand, lovely breeze, calm waves and gentle ripples will all make you want to linger a little longer to more fully partake of the beauty of this beach.
Have fun cycling along the scenic coasts, exchanging smiles with the islanders as you ride by. The population on Pari Island however, is less dense compared with Pramuka and Tidung Islands, and the environment pleasantly clean and tidy.
Besides the beaches and exploring underwater, you can also learn about and participate in seaweed cultivation. At the southern tip and to the west lies the Indonesian Institute of Sciences' Oceanographic Development Centre (LIPI, Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia). Here you may plant mangrove or ketapang trees, or explore the LIPI-owned laboratory for underwater research and marine life such as sharks, rayfish, seaweed and other varieties of animal and plant species found in the waters of Pari Island and its surroundings. Seaweed is the main commodity that is successfully cultivated in the waters around Pari Island today.
How the Island got its name:
The first family who fled Tangerang to escape forced labour for the Colonial Dutch, arrived on this remote uninhabited island and saw a large number of ray fish in the waters and thus, named their new home Pulau Pari or Rayfish Island.

The Most Southern Place on Earth: Music, History, and Culture of the Mississippi Delta
Schoolteachers will study the influence of the Mississippi Delta on American history this summer as part of an NEH-funded workshop in Cleveland, MS.
"The Most Southern Place on Earth: Music, History, and Culture of the Mississippi Delta" explores topics such as the civil rights movement and the development of the blues.
"The Most Southern Place on Earth" is one of the longest running Landmarks of American History workshops, as reflected in this retrospective article featuring founding workshop director, Dr. Luther Brown, who directed it every summer from 2009-2014. 2015 marked Luther's retirement as director of The Delta Center for Culture and Learning at Delta State University. Dr. Rolando Herts, who co-directed the 2015 workshop with Luther, currently serves as the director of the center. In 2016, the "Most Southern" workshop was co-directed by Dr. Rolando Herts and Lee Aylward of The Delta Center for Culture and Learning at Delta State University. The workshop is being offered again in summer 2017.
- How did you first get interested in the history and culture of the Mississippi Delta?
I've been interested in the Delta since I was in high school in the 1960s in suburban Chicago. I remember the Time magazine and newspaper pictures of poor black kids, sharecroppers, and especially people trying to register to vote, and I remember the names of Greenwood, Indianola, and Clarksdale, Mississippi. But I really connected to the Delta through the blues, especially around 1995 when I designed a college class called "Mississippi Delta Blues and American Culture." I was teaching at George Mason University at the time, and one of my graduate students actually accompanied the class on a lengthy fieldtrip through the Delta. That re-connected me with my former dean, who had become the president of Delta State University, and our reconnection ultimately led me to move to the Delta in 2000.
- What do you hope that teachers have gained (and will gain) from participating in a workshop on this topic?
I hope our scholars see how the people of the Mississippi Delta have affected the American story. They've played many important roles, creating the blues and rock and roll, leading a social revolution that we call the civil rights movement, and being leading politicians, authors, chefs, statesmen, sports figures, journalists, and academics. I hope they see how the physical landscape shapes a place and its people. And I know they will remember particular and often emotional stories from the Delta, like the murder of Emmett Till in 1955, or the great flood of 1927, or the leadership of people like Fannie Lou Hamer or a visit to Po' Monkey's Lounge, arguably the last rural juke joint (which Anthony Bourdain recently tweeted as being "the best bar in America.")
- Have there been any particular challenges of designing and implementing the workshop?
The biggest challenge that we have as workshop organizers is probably the coach bus that we use as a traveling classroom. Getting 40 people on and off a bus takes time, and we've occasionally had problems with audio-visual equipment or even the bus itself, although that's been very rare. The biggest challenge for our participants is probably getting to Cleveland, Mississippi. We are a small town in a very rural place, and we don't have much in the way of taxi or bus service. But we've had people arrive after traveling on trains, planes, vintage cars, and even motorcycles, and I sometimes think that getting here is part of the whole experience.
- You received supplemental funding last year to record a panel on the Emmett Till case. Why did you choose this workshop activity for digital preservation, and how do you hope the recording will be used?
We chose this particular activity for at least two reasons. First of all, the story of Emmett Till's murder is emotional and teachable in many ways. There are numerous books about the case, both fictional and documentary. There are several films and many songs, poems, and essays, and these are available for all levels of instruction. Emmett Till was fourteen years old when he left Chicago to visit his grandfather in the Mississippi Delta. Three days after he arrived, he wolf-whistled at a local shopkeeper, a twenty-one-year-old woman, and that simply didn't happen in the Jim Crow South. A few days later, that woman's husband, his half brother, and several others kidnapped Till and tortured and murdered him. His mother insisted that his body be returned to Chicago, where he had an open casket funeral that was witnessed by thousands of mourners. Two of the men who killed him were tried for murder but found not guilty, and then subsequently sold their confessions to Look magazine. Till's murder has been called "the spark that lit the fuse of the modern civil rights movement." So it's a significant story.
But the other reason we wanted to record our panel discussion is that the panel included eyewitnesses to various parts of the story, including Wheeler Parker, who was standing next to Emmett Till during the whistling event, and was in the same house with him when he was kidnapped by the gun-toting brothers. We also had two representatives from the FBI, one of whom was in charge of the investigation (which happened 50 years after the murder). We wanted to record these various accounts before they were lost, and they are now available at http://vimeo.com/user19759179/videos along with some other interviews, including one with Charles McLaurin, who was a friend and confidant of Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer. Our hope is that teachers everywhere will use these first-person narratives in their classrooms.
- Any memorable moments during the project activities over the years?
A lot of the things we do during the workshop are memorable. It's hard to beat listening to Wheeler Parker describe how Emmett Till was abducted or an FBI agent naming additional, long-unknown murderers, but there are many memorable moments. We go to where the levee broke in 1927, causing the greatest natural disaster our country had seen up to that point. Many people dip their foot in the Mississippi River for the first time. We listen to former Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee field secretary Charles McLaurin talk about the numerous times he was arrested for trying to register people as voters. We eat soul food in Memphis and visit the Lorraine Motel where Dr. Martin Luther King was murdered, now the National Civil Rights Museum. We go to Po' Monkey's Lounge, an old sharecropper shack that is still the home of a farm worker who opens it up on Thursday nights as a juke joint. We listen to lots of blues, some R & B, and a lot of soul music. We sample Kool-Aid pickles, a locally popular kids' snack, and many people get their first taste of fried catfish or Mississippi Delta hot tamales. And maybe one of the best aspects of the workshop is that most participants remain in contact with one another through the listserv we maintain, and through our Facebook site. They share resources like websites, videos, and articles they find about the topics we've explored and basically continue the workshop well beyond the end date. We actually have many who have been doing that since 2009, when we first offered this workshop.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 12:09 PM GMT on October 18, 2013
How does one tell the most important story of our time--the emergence of our great Climate Disruption--without boring one's audience to tears, but at the same time, not resorting to over-hyped spinning of the science? "Tipping Points", a landmark 6-part TV series that begins airing at 9 pm EDT Saturday, October 19 on The Weather Channel, aims to do just that. "Tipping Points" follows a group of preeminent scientists as they venture off the grid to explore the perilous tipping points making our weather systems more extreme and unpredictable.
The phenomena of "tipping points" follows the concept that, at a particular moment in time, a small change can have a large, long-term consequence on a fragile climate system already in a state of flux. Localized ecological systems are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to another when they are forced across critical thresholds. Further, when the situation is pushed past the "tipping point," it will potentially lead to a chain reaction, putting other ecosystems around the globe in peril. "Tipping Points" will feature several of the most critical examples, including the collapse of the Greenland ice sheet, total melting of the Himalayan icecap glaciers, die-back of the Amazon rainforest, shutdown of the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation, and the rapid melt of the permafrost in Siberia. "Tipping Points" will not only show how climate changes affect local communities in exotic and distant locales like the Amazon or Siberia, but how it impacts and is relevant to people from Australia and Asia to Europe, South America to Canada and every community in between. The series explores what is happening at the most dramatic tipping points and looks to find answers to understand what can be done to stem the tide of change before we do irreparable damage, and ultimately put our own lives at risk.
The series is hosted by polar explorer and climate journalist Bernice Notenboom, the first woman to climb Mt. Everest and walk to the North and South Poles. She is joined by a number of leading international environmental scientists in each episode, such as Dr. Jason Box, Dr. Matthew England, Professor Peter Cox, and more. In each episode, Notenboom heads off to a far corner of the world to find scientists in the field undertaking vital climate research to try to understand how the climate system is changing and how long we have to make significant changes before we reach a tipping point--a point of no return when our climate system will be changed irreversibly.
The first episode at 9 pm EDT/8 pm CDT this Saturday will be "Amazon Rainforest Risks". "Tipping Points" host Bernice Notenboom will join Peter Cox, Professor of Climate System Dynamics at the University of Exeter, on an expedition across the vast Amazon Rainforest to explore the mega droughts and tree deaths occurring that threaten the forest's survival this century. The Amazon stores CO2 in its soils and biomass equivalent to about fifteen years of human-caused emissions, so a massive die-back of the forest could greatly accelerate global warming. Photosynthesis in the world's largest rainforest keeps the Earth cooler by taking about 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide out of the air each year. However, exceptional droughts in both 2005 and 2010 reversed this process. The Amazon emitted 3 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere in 2005, causing a net 5 billion ton increase in CO2 to the atmosphere--roughly equivalent to 19% of the total CO2 emissions to the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels that year. A 2013 NASA-led study found that an area of the Amazon rainforest twice the size of California continues to suffer from the effects of the 2005 mega drought. A 2008 paper by Professor Cox warned that their climate model predicted a rapidly increasing risk of 2005-like droughts from 1-in-20 years in the present climate to 1-in-2 years by 2025, if we continue emitting CO2 at our current "business-as-usual" pace. A 2013 study by Fu et al. found that the dry season length has grown by about seven days per decade in the southern part of the rainforest. If this trend continues in coming decades at half of that rate, the fire season that contributed to the 2005 drought would become the new norm by the late 21st century. The leader of the study, Rong Fu, explained: "The dry season over the southern Amazon is already a marginal for maintaining rainforest. At some point, if it becomes too long, the rainforest will reach a tipping point."
Typhoon Francisco headed towards Japan
Category 4 Typhoon Francisco continues to intensify over the warm waters of the Western Pacific about 200 miles west of Guam. Even though the eye of Francisco passed more than 150 miles west of Guam Friday morning, the huge storm brought sustained winds of 37 mph, gusting to 46 mph, to the island, along with 6.75" of rain. Satellite loops show that Francisco is well-organized with an impressive area of heavy thunderstorms and a prominent eye. With warm waters that extend to great depth and low wind shear, continued strengthening is likely, and Francisco is forecast to become a super typhoon with 150 mph winds by Saturday as it heads northwest towards Japan. The European model now shows that Francisco will miss Japan, but the GFS model predicts that Francisco will hit Japan on Thursday next week. There is very high uncertainty in the storm's track that far into the future, since the timing of Francisco's turn the northeast is difficult to predict.
The Atlantic is quiet
None of the reliable computer models for forecasting tropical cyclone genesis is predicting development over the next five days.

After 'Koolhaas Houslife', the celebrated documentary about the charming Guadalupe Acedo, housekeeper at the Maison à Bordeaux, Ila Beka and Louise Lemoine realised a new series of films. 'Living Architecture' seeks to develop a way of looking at architecture which turns away from the current trend of idealizing the representation of our architectural heritage.
"Unlike most movies about architecture, these films focus less on explaining the building, its structure and its technical details than on letting the viewer enter into the invisible bubble of the daily intimacy of some icons of contemporary architecture."

86 HASKINS & SELLS November THE 1927 annual meeting of the members of the firm and managers was held in the executive offices Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 6, 7, and 8. All of the firm members were present except Mr. Kracke whose return to this country has been deferred from time to time on account of professional duties in connection with the Berlin office. All of the American practice offices were represented except San Diego. Pressure of engagements prevented Mr. Davies from leaving the office for the length of time necessary to attend the meeting. Of the foreign offices, Shanghai and Manila were not represented. Mr. Peters, partner in the Orient, recently left for Asia to take charge of our practice in the Far East, conducted at present from our Shanghai and Manila offices. Mr. Lovibond represented the European offices, making his first visit to this country since 1923. The program differed slightly from the previous two years. The first day was given over to a professional conference, with Mr. Ludlam presiding. The morning session was devoted to matters of administration and policy. Questions of personnel assumed an important part of this session. At noon a buffet luncheon was served in Mr. Ludlam and Colonel Carter's office on the thirteenth floor. In the afternoon the conference was resumed in the library when matters relating to technical procedure became the topics for discussion. The discussion proved a lively one when several interesting cases involving instalment sales brought out many important points. Following a number of private dinners, a theatre party was held Thursday evening with "A Night in Spain" serving as the attraction. As has been the custom the last few years, the annual golf tournament was held on Friday. This year the partners and managers were the guests of Colonel Carter at the Greenwich (Conn.) Country Club. Mrs. Carter entertained the wives who were present at luncheon at the club. The day was an ideal one for an outing despite the fact that this year's meeting was held later in the season than usual. Mr. J . A. Padon was in the best form, turning in a card of 83 for the eighteen holes to win low gross, which was won the year previous by Mr. Lawrence. The honors for low net went to Mr. Hill, with a score of 77, a title which Mr. Jumonville won two years ago and successfully defended last year. Messrs. Padon and Hill each were awarded a box of one dozen golf balls. The consolation prize was awarded to Mr. Croggon. Mr. Kracke was not present to defend his laurels. An informal dinner and dance was held at the club in the evening. Saturday, the third day of the meeting, was devoted to informal conferences. These individual discussions have proved so helpful and stimulating that a permanent place has been provided for them on the program. Although not the largest from the point of view of numbers attending, the 1927 annual meeting was voted by all as being the happiest and best one ever held. Annual Meeting

As if Snooki needed a partner in crime, MTV producers brought her friend Deena Cortese on board to help stir the pot in Season 3 of "Jersey Shore." Who is the newest guidette? People magazine found out in a Q & A in Hollywood this week.
Cortese said she likes to party as much as the rest of the Jersey Shore cast. A typical night out for her is anything but tame: "I'm just there for a freakin' blast," Cortese said about her club-hopping habits.
"A lot of shots, dancing on bars, and being loud and obnoxious," she said.
We've seen Snooki turn heads on the boardwalk, but Cortese said she draws as many stares as her plump-sized friend. "We definitely get equal amounts of attention," she said. "We're like two little meatballs running around the club."
The two ladies have been reeking havoc together for two years now, when they met through Cortese's ex-boyfriend. "As soon as we met, it was just like heaven," Cortese said. "Me an her would always go to the clubs together and see each other or just talk through Facebook and stuff. During the summer, we always just saw each other down the shore."
Cortese said she's happy to be hanging with her old friend on screen, but she's also into her new guy pals on the show, too. "I think Pauly D is aodrable," she told People. Cortese had a good word for all the men of the cast, but she saved her highest praise for Ronny.
"All the guys are cute, she said. "And Ronnie's just, Ronnie's sexy."

The Time of Reunion…!! (再会の時…!!, Saikai no Toki…!!) is volume 34 of the Naruto manga.
Chapter 300
- "Sai's Picture Book!!" (サイの絵本…!!, Sai no Ehon…!!)
While taking a break with Orochimaru and Kabuto, Sai finds he is missing something. Sakura, Naruto, and Yamato elsewhere look at Sai's picture book. At opposite ends of the book appear to be Sai and his brother, who fight various opponents and whose stories meet in the middle of the book. The centre is incomplete. They keep moving, just as Sai reaches Orochimaru's base and meets Sasuke.
Chapter 301
- "Sai and Sasuke!!" (サイとサスケ!!, Sai to Sasuke!!)
Sasuke has no interest in Sai, who tries to open a dialogue by suggesting he will get along with Sasuke better than he did with Naruto. The latter overpowers Sai with fear, but continues, explaining that Naruto has not stopped looking for him since he thinks of Sasuke as a brother. Sasuke says the only brother he has he wants to kill. Team 7 arrives outside the base and prepares to break in.
Chapter 302
- "Infiltration…!!" (潜入…!!, Sennyū…!!)
Kabuto escorts Sai to a room and locks him in to prevent him from exploring. Sai takes the time alone to as a chance to look at the orders given to him by Danzō. Meanwhile, Team 7 infiltrates the base and locates Sai in his room. Sakura returns his picture book and they ask him about his reasons for joining up with Orochimaru. He confesses that he is helping Danzō and Orochimaru plan another Konoha Crush.
Chapter 303
- "Sai's Betrayal!!" (サイの裏切り!!, Sai no Uragiri!!)
Sai claims to have no remorse about collaborating in an invasion, but Sakura reminds him that his picture books means he has some amount of emotion; Sai and his brother have a bond that he cannot break. Sai is intrigued by the idea, saying that, although he and his brother were not actually related, Sai had wanted to give him the picture book to symbolise their relationship as a family. Team 7 restrains him and prepares to go looking for Sasuke. Sai tells Naruto he is wasting his time, but Naruto insists that he and Sasuke have a bond of friendship that he would do anything to protect.
Chapter 304
- "The Other Side of the Betrayal!!" (裏切りの裏側!!, Uragiri no Uragawa!!)
Kabuto arrives to rescue Sai. He undoes his restraints so that they can team up in fighting Team 7, but Sai instead decides to restrain Kabuto. Sai wishes to learn more about bonds by helping Naruto reunite with Sasuke, which Team 7 accepts. They tie Kabuto up and he tells them where to find Sasuke, but adds that they won't accomplish anything. Team 7 splits up and, while searching with Naruto, Sai remembers how he wanted to finish his picture book: he and his brother together. He gives a genuine smile over thoughts of his brother, just as Orochimaru appears and asks about Sai's loyalties.
Chapter 305
- "The Bond with You" (キミとのつながり, Kimi to no Tsunagari)
Orochimaru attacks. Naruto sends Sai to look for Sasuke while he deals with Orochimaru. Yamato and Sakura, sensing Naruto preparing to fight, arrive to help, but Orochimaru decides to retreat instead. As Sai combs the area, Yamato goes through the belongings he left behind. He finds the orders given to Sai by Danzō: to get close to Orochimaru through any means in order to assassinate Sasuke. Naruto does not believe Sai would do that, which Sai confirms when he locates Sasuke, telling Sasuke that he wants to reunite him with Naruto.
Chapter 306
- "The Time of Reunion…!!" (再会の時…!!, Saikai no Toki…!!)
Sasuke attacks Sai for disturbing him, destroying their portion of the base. Team 7 is drawn to the area. Sakura starts to ask Sai what his real intentions are when she notices Sasuke. She and Naruto are speechless to see him again after two-and-a-half years since he left Konohagakure.
Chapter 307
- "Whim…!!" (気まぐれ…!!, Kimagure…!!)
Sasuke asks where Kakashi is, so Yamato explains that he is Kakashi's stand-in. Sasuke concludes that Sai is therefore his own stand-in, and repeats Sai's claim that he wants to restore the bond between himself and Naruto. He laughs at the idea, but Team 7 realises they were wrong to doubt Sai and accept his help with bringing Sasuke back to Konoha. Sasuke has no interest in returning, so suggests killing Naruto to make things easier.
Chapter 308
- "Sasuke's Power!!" (サスケの力!!, Sasuke no Chikara!!)
Sai prevents Sasuke from attacking Naruto. Sasuke uses Chidori Current to repel both of them and the rest of Team 7, then proceeds to pin Yamato to a rock with his sword. Naruto, frustrated, struggles within his subconscious to refuse the Nine-Tails' offers of power. He tells the fox that he is no longer interested and to stop bothering him, but is interrupted by Sasuke.
Chapter 309
- "A Conversation with the Nine-Tails!!" (九尾との対話!!, Kyūbi to no Taiwa!!)
The Nine-Tails is surprised to see Sasuke within Naruto's subconscious, remarking that Sasuke is much like Madara Uchiha. Sasuke suppresses the fox in response, and as it fades it warns him not to kill Naruto. Sasuke and Naruto return their attention to the real world where Yamato, no longer playing nice, tries to capture Sasuke. Sasuke escapes and prepares to finish them off, but is stopped by Orochimaru. Orochimaru says that Team 7 should be spared since they might kill another member of Akatsuki, as a result making it easier to kill Itachi. Sasuke agrees, and they leave with Kabuto.
Author's Note
|Recently, the people around me tell me they have been reading books. I rarely read books, so I'm thinking about picking one up for the first time in a while. I'm considering either a mystery or a fantasy work.

It'd be better to have the early team formation choices of his Whitehouse in a thread that will run and run rather than leaving all that info behind in the election thread.
As for Trump's Conservative choices, well isn't that the path the American voters decided they wanted to go when they gave all the cards to the Republican Party?
It just goes to show how the selfishness and cash rich domination of the democratic presidential nomination primaries by team Clinton has knocked out the probability of a Democratic Party President and has also destroyed the only brake on Conservative politics that the electorate were willing to deliver. It's also quite possible that Trump will knock a second term out of the Presidency.
Clinton before Country, the cash rich clique before party.

They looked a bit out of place, surrounded by all the gray hair, the hawkers of hearing aids, a booth promoting cremation services and assorted vendors of electric scooters and customized golf carts.
But the Korczynski family felt right at home Saturday while looking for a new home on wheels at The RV Spectacular sponsored by the London and St. Thomas RV Dealers Association In Ontario, Canada.
The London News Press reported that Paul and Jenna Korczynski, with nine-year-old twins Brooke and Tyson in tow, came from Kitchener for the recreational vehicles show at Western Fair District.
The event draws about 8,000 visitors and is squarely targeted at an older, rather affluent crowd that can plunk down $100,000 or more for a motorhome, trailer or "park model" trailer.
Proud owners of a 26-foot fifth-wheel trailer, the young Korczynski family was looking at some 30-foot trailers, retailing for about $40,000 and dreaming of the possibilities.
"It's a lot of money," Paul conceded, "but we're looking for a trailer with bunks for the kids so they can bring friends along."
The construction worker said traveling across Canada and in the U.S. is a wonderful way to vacation as a family. They've been to Prince Edward Island, around Lake Michigan and they've stayed at Cedar Point in Ohio.
With high gas and grocery prices, the family likes travel in the U.S. to keep costs down, he and Jenna agreed.
So they were kicking the tires of a few units and dreaming of future trips that could be so much nicer with just a few more feet of living room.
Eight major retailers of trailers and motorhomes were on display.
At Forest City Motorhomes, co-owner Rick Goertz said his company has just come off its best two years. It sells 80 to 100 new and used motorhomes each year. New units range from $70,000 to more than $300,000.
"Seventy-five to 80% of our customers just come in and write a check," he said. There is no need for financing. Most are retired businessmen and farmers who have been careful with their money for decades and decide it is time to splurge.
Goertz has no explanation for such strong sales when other parts of the RV business have been "pretty flat."
A few feet from him was a 42-foot Itasca Meridian motorhome resembling a highway coach that usually retails for nearly $322,000 but was being offered at a "show price" of $257,700. The gleaming monster delivers about eight miles to the gallon, he said, but includes everything from a washer and dryer to home theatre, fireplace and bedroom ceiling fan.
Forest City Motorhomes sells one or two of those units a year and buyers able to spend that kind of money aren't fazed by the gas consumption, he said.
Goertz said crowds appear up from previous years and he expects to engage in serious conversations with about 200 potential customers before the event ends.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) Siyani Chambers scored 21 points and dished out seven assists, and Harvard overcame a 13-point deficit to force overtime and defeat Dartmouth 82-77 on Saturday.
Wesley Saunders finished with 20 points, seven rebounds, six assists and three steals for the Crimson (10-6, 2-0 Ivy League), who have won three of their last four games. Jonah Travis had 16 points and Christian Webster added 13.
Harvard trailed 57-44 after Dartmouth's Malik Gill made two free throws. But the Crimson rallied and forced overtime after Chambers scored on a layup, tying the game at 62-62 with 5 seconds left in regulation.
Harvard scored the first six points in overtime and did not relinquish its advantage the rest of the way. Chambers had five points in OT.
Gill and John Golden each scored 15 points for the Big Green (4-12, 0-2). Conner Boehm recorded a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

HST: To Hate or Not to Hate-That is the Question!
must say, I have been hugely disappointed with my favourite news talk radio: CKNW. First Christy Clark, whom I thought gave up politics and went into broadcast media, gave up her show on CKNW to return to politics to run in the Premier race. And she won! Much thanks to her popularity on the Christy Clark Show. I must admit, I wasn't a fan of her views and takes. I would credit the success of her program to her remarkable radio voice. Like wow!

After work, Sue and I went for a walk in our neighborhood, and we discovered that this is opening night for our new neighbor: the Munichburg Tavern!
We were thrilled when the Ecco Lounge, also in Munichburg, was refreshed and reopened—how cool is it to have a nifty, historic restaurant and lounge just a few blocks from your home?
Well, my friends, now we can multiply that coolness times two: the Munichburg Tavern's got good food, plus they have something like twenty-six beers on tap. It's good beers, too: microbrews and imports. (They might have some mass-produced American big-name beers available, but I think they keep them hidden away in a back room.)
It's too early for me (or anyone) to do an in-depth food review, since the place has just opened. But I can give you an idea of what the restaurant's like.
Lots of wood in there: booths along the far wall, and high tables with bar stools. Exposed ductwork. Industrial-type brick walls and concrete floors that bounce the sound around (with much of a crowd, it will get noisy).
There's a nice long bar on the east side of the room, with a chalkboard above it listing all the interesting beers available, along with the alcohol-by-volume numbers (in case you're keeping track). They've got a terrific selection of brews, offering a wide range to suit everyone's taste.
I gather that the beers will be changing somewhat, and that they will have a nightly special on some individual beer selection (tonight's special was a Spaten Premium Lager). They have a printed beer menu available, which provides brief descriptions of each of the brews.
They said that whenever someone orders a German beer, they serve it in an authentic German mug. This is a Hofbräu mug!
I asked if they have any nonalcoholic beers available yet, and they said no—but that they will get some. (Well? I have to ask. I think every place that sells beer should offer at least one n/a beer option. Who wants a sody-pop or iced tea when everyone else is sipping beer?)
The food includes appetizers, burgers, brats, sandwiches (and sides), and pizza. And desserts. We started off with simple chips and salsa. Sue had a veggie burger (they offered us a choice of veggie burgers: Boca, black bean, garden, etc.—wow, that's unusual to get a choice), and she got it with fries.
I had a bratwurst—served on a bun. Of all things, they offer a choice of brats—herb, cheese, or pineapple. A bit of kraut and mustard was served to the side. I selected sautéed veggies as my side; other choices include potato salad, coleslaw, fries, and so on.
(Sorry my pictures aren't better; the lighting was poor and my color-correction skills are abysmal. It looked much more appetizing than this!)
The pizzas looked pretty good, from what we saw on other people's tables. The crust looked about medium thick, and it was cut into wedges (not the ubiquitous Jefferson City "square cut" pizza). Most of the topping choices were fairly routine, though artichoke hearts, feta, and bleu cheese go a bit beyond the standard.
Again, I'm just telling you all this to give you an idea of what they're offering right now—I wouldn't be surprised if they tweak the menu in coming weeks and months.
I should mention that everyone there was very friendly to us. And why shouldn't they be? It was the first night, and I was there with a camera! But seriously, I do think they'll treat you right when you go.
Here's some more information: They have an area set aside for playing bocce ball! That game has gotten incredibly popular here in the capital city, in part because Prison Brews (a brewpub across town, over by the former prison) also has bocce courts and has partnered with the local Kiwanis to sponsor a bocce league.
There's something like thirty bocce teams, now, here in this town! Profits, I understand, go to charitable causes such as the local Boys and Girls Club.
Now, because the same people who started Prison Brews are in charge of our new Munichburg Tavern, I suspect the courts here will spread "bocce fever" even more.
As we sat there munching and sipping, Sue and I kept marveling about how great it is to have another quality restaurant in our neighborhood. When we moved to Munichburg a decade ago, we had serious doubts about where the neighborhood was "headed." But this happy, clean, sure-to-be-popular place is one more piece of proof that Munichburg's moving in the right direction.
And speaking of "directions," I know you're thinking, "Now, where is it again—?" It's at 418 West Elm Street, between Arris's Bistro and Fechtel Beverage (the local Miller distributor). Oh, here: It's easier to just draw you a map. . . . We'll see you there!

Well, 2012 is winding down, and it was a big year for disc golf in SoCal. Eighteen events on the SoCal Series schedule (and it seemed half of them were run by Gary "Ironman" Sandoval!), a new ball golf/disc golf course in the SoCal Series (Verdugo Hills), a SoCal Series tournament with three venues in one day (Cannonball Run), the return of Eldo to the schedule, seven Ice Bowls, new courses all over (Murrieta, Vista, Burbank, Lompoc, Redlands and other private courses, I'm sure), rapid growth by Legacy and continued Innova-tion from Innova, great play from upstarts and old farts alike and a PDGA World Champion with SoCal roots. Whew. The SoCal Disc Golf Club also saw some changes, with a new crop of board members, new website, Facebook and Twitter presences.
The competition throughout the SoCal Series was hot. Steve Rico held the lead in Men's Open all year, but always had Philo and Max Nichols nipping at his heels. Indigo Brude took the Ladies' Open title, and almost won Men's Rec too! A.J. Risley won Men's Advanced and finished 5th in Men's Open – he played enough events to collect the most points by any player this year (438). But the closest race of the year was in Men's Pro Grandmasters, where Steve Killian and Todd Banks both finished with 112 points. Steve won the title based on the tie-breaker: playing more events. The Champions of the SoCal Series were honored at the year-end banquet last Saturday at Prado Regional Park. Suzette Simons, Vicky Wisecup and Randy Wylot put on a fantastic event with good competition, great food and an extensive prize raffle. We would also like to acknowledge all of the SoCal Series Champions here:
