Shabbat Starts When?
June 14, 2013
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Shabbat message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, June 14, 2013 and Friday, June 13, 2014.
So . . . Shabbat starts at sundown on Friday, right? People celebrating the Sabbath rush home on Friday afternoons so they can be ready when the sun sets. The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, and other Jewish periodicals, publish lists of "Candle Lighting Times" which are calculated 20 minutes before sunset. There are Shabbat sirens just before sunset, and candle lighting before sunset, and on and on. But why? Why does the Sabbath Day start at night – in fact why do all Jewish holidays start at night? Doesn't it make sense to start in the morning? Or perhaps at midnight? Doesn't our American (Gregorian) calendar start each new day at midnight? Don't we ring in the new secular year at midnight between December 31 and January 1? Why sunset for Jewish days?
The answer is at the very beginning of the Torah in Genesis, chapter one. Genesis recounts the story of creation. God creates light, and then we are told, "And there was evening and there was morning . . . the first day. Evening, and Morning. Not Morning and Evening. The Rabbis thousands of years ago assumed that since the creation account describes the evening first – it was God's will that we start our account of the days with the evening. For that reason, we say the Sabbath Eve Kiddush (the blessing over wine) immediately after the sun sets, putting an end to the sixth day and commemorating God resting on the seventh day. We begin with the following words:
Vayehi erev, vayehi voker, Yom Shishi . . .
And there was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day.
Shabbat Shalom

Will a state or city leader with a clear set of well-considered priorities please stand up? Jill Carter and Carl Stokes are at it again ("Speed cameras yield $19.2 million," Sept. 12). I can't keep up with all the issues they keep raising.
Let me tell you, Mr. Stokes, that I wish there were more cameras around Baltimore City. Seton Hill has tried for years to get the city to slow the traffic on Druid Hill Avenue, but the city refuses to help, ironically citing the need for first responders to get through the area quickly. Who needs the Grand Prix when drivers fly through Mt. Vernon and Seton Hill at 40-50 mph trying to beat the horribly long lights?
Since we have so few rail options, the money should go to improving the streets that the MTA buses destroy as well as improving our traffic signal system.
Please also consider, Ms. Carter, that thousands of new residents have moved downtown in the past decade, and the city has done nothing to make our streets safer. They've only paved them so that people who work for the city can fly back to the county where they live. This is a true quality of life issue. As for the little old ladies or soccer moms who speed, I say charge 'em all!

Anyone up for playing this afternoon/evening? It's supposed to rain all weekend, so I'm hoping to get a match in today. I'm a solid 4.0 and I can play anywhere from Fairfax to Arlington.

Replies to This Discussion
Me! 4.0, near Courhouse.
(414) 202-1338.
Hey Alex, which courts did you have in mind? I was thinking about 6-6:30pm, does that work for you?
That does work. The only courts I know of (new to the area) are on Lee Hwy and N Highland Street. If that works for you, it's pretty close to me. Otherwise, I can play pretty much anywhere along the orange line.
And yes, that time is fine.
Ok that sounds like Lyons Village Park. I'll plan to meet you there at 6:30pm. If those courts are full we can try Quincy, Maury, or Hayes Parks.
Ok cool, I'll be there at that time. You have my number, call/text if you need to reach me.
Hi- I think you're already busy today- but for anyone here- I am looking to find some hitting partners. I'm new to the area but could play any day this week and of course the weekend. Im in Columbia Heights near Adams morgan, text me or email me if you can play- even today!
Can you play today at Bluemont, start at 5:30?
Hi Abhi,
Sure, where did you have in mind? Are you free this evening?
Well I have plans the next couple evenings, maybe the weekend is a better bet. Based on past experience, it takes me upwards of 45 minutes to get to Cabin John Regional Park during rush hour. Cabin John Creek Park or Seven Locks Park would be much more accessible from Oakton.
I am up for hitting friday evening or on sunday (morning or evening)...We can hit at seven locks park...let me know what works best for you...my cell number is 816 785 3276

If time travel really existed, one of the most intriguing prospects would be the opportunity to connect with one's childhood self. Jorma Elo's new "Awake Only," the centerpiece of Boston Ballet's "Fall Program" of three contemporary ballets, taps into that from the opening curtain, which appears to arise at the flourish of a small pajama-clad boy (adorable Boston Ballet School student Liam Lurker). He seems to represent central figure Jeffrey Cirio as a child, sparking him to remember and reflect. Though there's no clear storyline, "Awake Only" pulses to an undercurrent of narrative as one man examines his life — past, present, and future.
Set to keyboard arrangements of music by J.S. Bach, performed live by pianist Alex Foaksman and organist Heinrich Christensen, "Awake Only" is Elo's tenth world premiere for Boston Ballet. It's also perhaps his least abstract, and his familiarity with who the company's dancers are and what they can do is evident, especially in the small group choreography. He continues to push the boundaries of difficulty and speed, with elegant lines subverted by quirky gestures and rapid shifts of weight.
Sometimes the gestures seem forced and contrived, gratuitously odd. Other times they are poignantly freighted with meaning. Hands creating a frame shift close to the face, then back away, as if a lens is being adjusted. A palm fluttering back and forth suggests the turning of a page, the passing of time.
Some of Elo's most effective choreography comes when the pace slows, in duets and trios that recall lost connections or new discoveries. Despite one backwards tumble during an awkward passage, Lia Cirio and Sabi Varga are technically excellent and dramatically touching as the parents. However, Jeffrey Cirio is nothing less than brilliant. He not only spins out dazzling leaps and sinuous coils atop fleet footwork, he conveys the transformation from child to old man in the blink of an eye. His most powerful work comes with Kathleen Breen Combes, who emerges from a kind of Greek chorus of women to become his character's love interest. Their intricate partnering is full of slow, tentative couplings that melt into liquid embraces and moments of stillness. Midway through the piece, the two spiral breathlessly to the floor. At work's end, he simply sinks lifelessly from her arms. When the little boy kneels to cradle his head, it's enough to break your heart.
The reprise of British choreographer Christopher Bruce's "Rooster" made a light-hearted, crowd-pleasing opener. Given its Boston Ballet debut just last spring, this 1991 this work for five couples is set to some of The Rolling Stones' most iconic hits. It loosely suggests that all men are animals — well, roosters, to be precise, preening and posturing through the barnyard of courtship.
Melding ballet with jazz, jive, popular dance styles, even a little go-go, it's fun and entertaining, and Boston Ballet's versatile dancers gave it a sharp, spirited performance, especially in the solos. Robert Kretz's leadoff in "Little Red Rooster" was a winning portrait of a sly bird on the prowl, playfully strutting about the stage, arms folded wing-like, head bobbing and jerking, turning the adjustment of his tie into a peck. Irlan Silva displayed crisp footwork and dynamic leaps in "Paint It Black," and Whitney Jensen, in a flowing red dress, embodied the mercurial "Ruby Tuesday" with sweeping spins and fluttery jumps, including a startling dive into the arms of four men, who toss her spinning into the air.
The company also looked outstanding in William Forsythe's starkly edgy and striking "The Second Detail." They veered from saucy pedestrian swaggers into off-kilter explosive outbursts one moment, cool extensions and stretches the next. Set to a raucous percussive score by Thom Willems that occasionally suggests a very cranky Stravinksy, it is an overly long but masterful puzzler you simply can't take your eyes off of.Karen Campbell can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Correction: Because of a reporting error, an earlier version of this story misidentified a song to which Irlan Silva dances a solo in the ballet "Rooster." It is "Paint It Black." In addition, the dancer in the center of a photograph was misidentified in the caption. She is Corina Gill.

FAA Says Drones May Be Used For Fun... But Not For Profit
from the because-how-dare-we-allow-innovation dept
But... the rest of the items in the list all seem very troubling to me. None of those seem like cases where there's likely to be any interference with aircraft or any other kind of problem. Drone use for real estate videos is increasingly common and something that actually seems like a very good idea. Here's an example of one such video:

Voluntary Human Extinction MovemenT
"May we live long and die out"
"Phasing out the human race by voluntarily ceasing to breed will allow the Earth's biosphere to return to good health".
While surfing the web the other day, I ran across VHEMT. Never heard of it, so of course I looked. Imagine my surprise. They are advocating the complete extinction of the human race, done through no procreation. Plenty of sex, just no more pregnancies. I mean as an atheist, I believe not only in evolution, but in our place in nature. We are a part of nature, one end product (as of now) of evolution. The urge for procreation is a biological imperative, but we also have a mind, which can make us go beyond our biological programming and act altruistically, as it were. Since most species on the planet have become extinct (as high as 98% in some studies I have read, of all species ever to exist on the planet), our turn is coming. Whether selected by nature, or at our own hand. So should we let "nature take its course", or help it along by voluntarily exterminating ourselves?

Reminds me of the feelings I had when reading "World Without Us" by Alan Weisman (http://www.worldwithoutus.com/) I couldn't help simultaneous feelings of "god have we #$@%^ up this planet" and "as the dominant biological life form, what else was expected?"
Your last question is kind of circular... since we evolved, we are the work of nature, in essence we _are_ nature. Whether we help or not, nature will take care of us in due time.
Hello Mark. Sorry if it sounded circular. My bad if I didn't explain it better. I did say we were the end product of evolution. And part of nature. After reading their site, just made me woner, how people felt, as in us helping it along (our extinction) or just go along as we are. Hope that makes it clearer for you. Any confusion is mine. Thanks alot for responding. Be well.
Hi Tony,
Absolutely no need for an apology or clarification. I was just being difficult. :D I think Weisman mentions the group in his book; probably another reason the book leaped to mind. To give a direct response to your question, VHEMT's goal is clearly impossible, so nature will have to do away with us without our help (unless "help" includes us making the planet uninhabitable!"
Which is a real possibility (us making it uninhabitable). Thanks again, my friend. Peace. And be well.
"I did say we were the end product of evolution."
Well, …all forms are transitional, …may be a better way to look at this.
As for this group suicide bunch, I don't often use the term "retarded", but it's appropriate here. It makes me think of cutting off one's head to spite one's nose.
I also read The World Without Us (actually, listened to the audiobook in the car). A dramatic exploration of how permanent and impermanent our different artifacts and other effects on the planet are!
Perhaps it's my biological programming, but my altruism focuses much more easily on (hypothetical) future humans (or perhaps on some broader concept of "people" that I could identify with?) than on voluntarily extinction for the sake of the rest of the Earth's biosphere.
This also reminds me of an SF short story (I don't recall the title and author) where humans, now living on planets in many star systems, chose to restore Earth as much as possible, removing the remains and pollution of human civilizations, and then to leave the cherished ancestral planet alone, in a "natural" state.
I'm with you. My altruism won't let me make a leap of that magnitude. We are a part of nature. Since people won't stop having babies, best to do what is possible to help out future generations, and also the planet.
Wish you could remember that story. Would be nice to read. Ah, the mind. I lose mine everyday. LOL. Peaced and be well my friend.
Yeah, it brought me up short. Made me think of Rod Serling saying 'picture if you will'. Some wild stuff.
One of the big things they're not thinking about is life beyond this planet. At some point in the future, our species may get off of this rock. At that point, we'll be bringing a good percentage of our ecology with us, for the purpose of making our new home more like our old one.
We're talking biological reproduction on a planetary scale. Will the ants do that? You need a tool-using species to accomplish that. Any tool-using species is going to be a bit destructive. It's just one of those things you have to accept, in the life-cycle of a biosphere.
Short-sighted of them, really.
May get off this rock - that's a stretch Joseph - at the rate the rednecks/chavs/white trash/republicans... call them what you will are breeding, there won't be enough technologically adept people to develop the resources necessary.
We may already have reached our pinnacle - the world we're leaving our kids is on a downward spiral and there's nothing I can see that we can effectively do about it.
The trouble is there are always more stupid people than smart ones - and thanks to democracy they can (and often do) elevate their own into positions of power.

10.13.12: The CCRI Cross Country runners traveled to Concord, NH to compete in the New Hampshire Technical Institute Lynx Invitational. Both CCRI men's and women's teams were incomplete (less than five runners) so they only had individual times recorded.
On the men's side for the Knights, Bobby Allen (Cranston, RI) won the Lynx Invite with an impressive course record of 25 minutes and 55 seconds over the 8k course. The next closest competitor to Allen, who averaged 5:11 per mile, was Ignacio Harnando from NHTI coming in a 28:48, averaging 5:46 per mile, finished nearly three minutes later. Also having an excellent race for the Knights was David Palkovic (Middletown, RI) who ran his best time ever with a 29:36 over the flat NHTI course. This was Palkovic's best time by a whopping 1 minute and 24 seconds. Austin White (Woonsocket, RI) placed 11th also running his best 8k time of his career finishing in 34:05. Rounding out the Knights' runners was Edward Polanco (Woonsocket, RI) who ran steady to finish in 14th place with a time of 41:46.
For the Lady Knights Olivia Emerick (Cranston, RI) ran her best race of the season over the long 6k course. Emerick placed 4th in a time of 30:20. Meaghan Shanley (Warwick, RI) was just behind her also running her best race with a 6th place finish in a time of 32:03 over the 6k course.
Head Coach Gregg Cornell commented after the race: "A good individual effort by the runners on the CCRI team. We will return to NHTI next week and the athletes now know the course and we look for all to improve on their personal bests."
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls 17,760 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

Don't tell the residents of Göteborg that they live in Sweden's "second city," but not because they will get upset (people here are known for their amiability and good humor). They just may not understand what you are talking about. People who call Göteborg (pronounced YOO-teh-bor; most visitors stick with the simpler "Gothenburg") home seem to forget that the city is diminutive in size and status compared to Stockholm.
Spend a couple of days here and you'll forget, too. You'll find it's easier to ask what Göteborg hasn't got to offer rather than what it has. Culturally it is superb, boasting a fine opera house and theater, one of the country's best art museums, as well as a fantastic applied-arts museum. There's plenty of history to soak up, from the ancient port that gave the city its start to the 19th-century factory buildings and workers' houses that helped put it on the commercial map. For those looking for nature, the wild-west coast and tame green fields are both within striking distance. And don't forget the food. Since its inception in 1983, more than half of the "Swedish Chef of the Year" competition winners were cooking in Göteborg.

I am disappointed Sen. Susan Collins did not join the rest of the Maine congressional delegation in urging the Supreme Court to find the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional ("Only Collins hasn't signed court brief supporting same-sex marriage," March 2). This shows a lack of political courage on her part.
Her spokesman stated that Sen. Collins "believes the issue of same-sex marriage is best addressed by the individual states, as the voters of Maine decided in November."
Voters in Maine did not decide that the issue of same-sex marriage is best addressed on a state-by-state basis, and it is not a valid reason for her inaction. Our country rejected "states' rights" as an excuse to deny human rights back in 1861.
The people of Maine have spoken — they support same-sex marriage. A couple who chooses to get married in Maine — every such couple — deserves the right to have that marriage recognized by every state in the union. Sen. Collins does a disservice to her constituents by failing to represent that point of view nationally.
The national press inexplicably continues almost invariably to label Sen. Collins as a "moderate." Increasingly, as her stance on DOMA illustrates, that is not true.
Mainers do not like extremists — Gov. LePage is a prime example — and Sen. Collins is coming closer to becoming one. Small wonder she and the governor get along so well.

AMHI memorial not worth cuts to hard-hit services
I read with disbelief the article about the Legislature's potential funding of a $50,000 Augusta Mental Health Institute memorial ("State may fund AMHI memorial," March 4).
According to the article, the AMHI Cemetery Project and Rep. Terry Hayes, D-Buckfield, asked for funding because their own efforts have been slow.
I'm sure it's a worthy project, but we must weigh the cost of a memorial against the recent state curtailment, which forced massive cuts to needed services.
Particularly hard hit have been some of our most important programs: mental health and education.
The state has no business spending $50,000 on one group's pet project in these tough economic times. It was irresponsible to ask, just as it would be irresponsible to approve it. The fact that their own fundraising is moving slowly should show that this is not the right timing.
I believe those currently dealing with mental health issues would rather see the money spent on programs, not on a memorial that won't provide actual services for those who struggle today — just as I'd rather see the money spent on education. My district lost our Excel department, band programs, after-school tutoring, 15 ed tech positions and more.
These are just some of the "highlights" of the damage done to one district. It's by no means a comprehensive list, nor does it take into account the coming sequestration cuts.
Telling any of the people whose jobs have vanished that the state would rather spend what little money we have on a memorial is unacceptable.
I don't have anything against the AMHI group, but asking for these funds now is a mistake. I think that deep down, they "get" that. I desperately hope our legislators will vote against this colossal misuse of this state's precious and dwindling funds.

Early education programs help reduce violent crime
Your article about the president's plan to expand quality early childhood education and how that will impact programs in Maine ("Maine could see early-childhood education grow," Feb. 14) spells out many good points about the connection between quality early education and students' later academic successes.
As a former sheriff and now regional correctional administrator, I'd like to note that high-quality early learning also helps lower crime and criminal justice costs.
Numerous studies show that getting at-risk kids into high-quality early education programs can help cut violent crime. My colleague, Portland Police Chief Michael Sauschuck, pointed to two of the most frequently cited studies in his recent letter to the editor ("Early learning programs enhance community safety," Feb. 15).
High-quality early childhood education saves us far more than it costs. We all pay for crime. Maine spends about $228 million a year to house, feed and keep surveillance on our state criminals. By comparison, national corrections costs are staggering — more than $57 billion in 2010.
Your article pointed to many of the budget decisions that will be needed to expand high-quality early education in Maine. As our state policymakers weigh these decisions, I encourage them to remember the other side of this coin — the very expensive costs of crime and incarceration.
Providing more children, in all Maine counties, with high-quality early learning opportunities will help us prevent crime and reduce prison and jail costs for years to come.

As an alumna of South Portland High School, I was proud to read about the Coaching Boys Into Men program and the positive response of the young men on the team ("Bill Nemitz: New 'playbook' leads team to hidden strengths," Feb. 27).
What a powerful message they are communicating to other students and to the community of South Portland.
Shine on, Riots. You make me so proud.

Don't expect transparency from writer at biased paper
I fully agree with the recent letter ("Writer in no position to urge candor from permit holders," Feb. 24) that stated that whoever writes editorials for this paper should disclose the same information that this paper wants disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act, especially those with concealed-gun permits.
Do I expect it? No way in hell. After all, this paper's biggest problem is that their Democratic bias is showing. That's the party that doesn't believe in what's good for the goose is good for the gander. And I am sick and tired of being goosed.

Chair Hicks called the meeting to order and asked for a motion to approve the previous minutes. Chair Hicks moved to approve the minutes and Trustee Taylor seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously.
Provost Kline opened this item by stating that previous to the devolution, the authority to approve degree programs required Board of Regent approval. Dr. Kline then asked Dean Workman to present the degree program. Dean Workman stated that much care and thought had gone into the proposal for this program and that it was consistent with the mission of UNF and the mission of the College of Arts and Sciences. Dean Workman stated that the degree program was grounded in sound philosophical education, would appeal to many students and would address needs of community. He stated that this degree program would bring positive attention to UNF. He continued by stating that the degree program would not be cost prohibitive. The cost of graduate teaching assistants would be offset by the costs saved on faculty.
Dr. Kline opened the floor up for questions to be addressed to Dean Workman and Dr. Fenner, Interim Chair of the Philosophy Department. Trustee Taylor requested clarification on tracking the program and making it available to students. He also inquired about making the program a certificate program in other master's level programs. Dean Workman responded by stating that this program would be extremely valuable to graduate students and that nationally, postgraduate certificates are becoming more valuable. He stated that certificates are used to develop expertise and that a number of people in human resources in private business, the medical profession and the engineering industry could benefit from this program. Dean Workman stated that infusing this into undergraduate programs would be difficult because of the credit hour requirements. He stated that graduate programs have more flexibility.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to recommend the Master of Arts in Practical Philosophy and Applied Ethics be presented to the full Board. It was so motioned and the Trustees voted unanimously to recommend the program to the Board.
Dr. Kline opened the floor to the Dean Chally, who began the discussion by stating that she believed the degree in Rehabilitation Counseling fit with the mission of UNF and the mission of the College of Health. She stated that this course of study is currently being offered as a track in existing Health Science major and has been since 1995.
Dean Chally introduced Dr. Jeanne Patterson as the Program's leader. Dr. Patterson began her discussion by stating that the Program was reaccredited in 2003 for an eight-year term and that the next accreditation process would be in 2011. She expressed concerns that the title for the program was not currently listed on the graduate's diplomas as a degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, but instead as a degree in Health Science. Dr. Kline reiterated that the Rehabilitation Counseling program was currently a track in the College of Health and that the desire was to make it a stand-alone degree program.
Dr. Kline requested clarification on the purpose of the Rehabilitation Counseling Program. Dr. Patterson responded by stating that Rehabilitation Counseling was a profession that works with people with disabilities, not people with mental health issues. Dr. Patterson stated that there was a critical need for this Program because it is a growing field with much demand.
Trustee Crawford commented that the program required professionals to work with a large variety of different disabilities and asked if there was a more specialized approach. Dr. Patterson responded by stating that there was much merit in graduating with a generic degree. The individual can seek multiple experiences within different types of sites. Specialization would occur when the individual began work.
Chair Hicks asked about the Program's emphasis on diversity and UNF as a whole. Dr. Patterson replied by giving a brief history regarding diversity in the Rehabilitation Counseling Program.
Ms. Karen Stone, UNF's General Counsel, asked for the philosophy behind the use of tracks as part of programs of study. Dr. Kline responded by stating that tracks were allowed without Board of Regents approval. Degrees did require Board of Regents approval. Trustee Solano stated that a track allows a program to develop before being introduced as a degree or major.
Trustee Coggin asked if this program would deal with situations where physical and mental disabilities coincide. He asked for further information about Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) in regards to children. Would this program include assessing children with ADD and interceding before they reach adulthood? Dr. Patterson responded by stating that Rehabilitation Counseling addressed individuals over the age of 18, while Special Education addressed children under the age of 18. She also added that the Rehabilitation Counseling Program worked less with ADD than did Special Education. Trustee Coggin questioned the sense of awareness and understanding regarding ADD as related to Rehabilitation Counseling. Dr. Patterson responded by discussing the undiagnosed issues that Rehabilitation Counselors face and the importance of being able to help transition the individual from school to work by getting the counselors more involved. Trustee Coggin stated that there was a need to start the awareness process at an earlier age. Dr. Serwatka clarified the difference between Rehabilitation Counseling and Special Education. He stated that the two professions need to work together to ensure the individual has all the necessary skills to survive in today's society.
Trustee Abdulla requested information on the needs assessment and jobs available in Jacksonville, as well as regionally. Dr. Patterson responded by stating that there were only two students who graduated from the program who were currently unemployed. She then gave their reasons for unemployment.
Trustee Taylor asked why the program was 48 hours and not 60 hours. Dr. Patterson responded by stating that the accreditation of the program required 48 hours, to add a mental health counseling license the student would need to complete 60 hours. She stated that she would like to see both a 48-hour and 60-hour program.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to recommend the Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling be presented to the full Board. It was so motioned and the Trustees voted unanimously to recommend the program to the Board.
Chair Hicks adjourned the meeting.

SAO PAULO -- Even for a first-timer, travelling to South America's biggest city evokes a certain deja vu.
Sao Paulo, the heart of big business in South America, can come across like Toronto -- a serious, hurried place where everyone is running late.
Tourists, some say, are better to visit Rio de Janeiro -- more of a party-happy South American version of Vancouver.
Business truly is what Sao Paulo is all about. Around its financial district, office and hotel towers stretch across the horizon, creating first impressions of Sao Paulo's economic might and of a concrete jungle.
There's truth to both. But no city could grow this big (18 million, metro area) or old (454 years since its founding as a village) without having more than commerce going for it.
Sao Paulo's charm is, oddly for one of the world's biggest cities, its Brazilian sense of isolation and independence. Tourists seem to find themselves in the city by accident, not because of a well-funded promotional machine.
As a result, the city doesn't make it easy to visit. Many attractions are closed on certain days of the week, or mornings. Few staff at attractions or in malls speak English.
On the other hand, Sao Paulo has an air of authenticity. You won't find tacky souvenir stands here. Paulistanos suggest visitors take their city or leave it for what it is.
What it is, is a multicultural blend of history, art and, in pockets, nature.
MASP, the city's best-known art gallery, is found in the heart of the financial district on Paulista Avenue. Architecturally, it's designed like a warehouse on stilts. The collection is impressive -- from Brazilian artists to French and Italian and several Picasso pieces. And at 15 reais (about $10) to enter, it's a great place to beat the rain.
Across the street is Trianon Park -- a two-city-block breath of fresh air inside the gridlock. It was created a century ago as a showpiece for indigenous vegetation. New trees were planted as part of a major renovation in 1968. In the heart of the forest, only the dim sounds of traffic remind visitors they're in a megalopolis.
The real gem of Sao Paulo is the one guidebooks warn travellers about. Centro, the city's old downtown, is where the city shows its real character. Block after block of 80- to 100-year-old buildings tell a story of Sao Paulo's swagger in the early 20th century, when it asserted itself as South America's commerce hub. Be warned, though, that parts of Centro are seedy and abundant with thieves.
One skyscraper, the white Banespa building, is striking for its smaller-scale similarity to the Empire State Building, after which it was modeled in 1947. It's free to take the two elevators and short flight of stairs to the top for the best view of the city.
The Theatro Municipal in Centro is probably the best architecture in the city. Modeled after the Paris Opera, it's adorned garishly in gold trim, sculptures, busts and friezes, both outside and inside. You can't get inside without a ticket, but some events are cheap and undersold.
A ticket to hear Sao Paulo's orchestra -- or just to check out the interior of Theatro Municipal -- costs a paltry 15 reais, or about $10. Sao Paulo isn't a cheap city to visit -- but some of the best sights are ridiculously inexpensive.
Sao Paulo's rejuvenation of Centro is a work in progress. Carefully restored banks and residences can be found next to graffiti-covered lowrises without windows.
The Sao Paulo State art gallery, called Pinacoteca do Estado, is one such strange juxtaposition. On Centro's rough northern edge, the 103-year-old brick building was restored a decade ago. The centre of the three-storey gallery is lit naturally through a wide atrium that gives a different aspect to strategically placed sculptures depending on the time of day you visit.
The gallery, which costs only about $3 to enter, has both a collection of Brazil's best painters as well as temporary exhibitions. As with MASP, art and nature co-exist at Pinacoteca. The neighbourhood is dingy, but for beautiful Luz Park. Fountains, streams of large brightly coloured fish and a canopy of subtropical trees complement the gallery next door.
Central Sao Paulo's largest park, Ibirapuera, fashions itself after New York's Central Park. Art museums, a Japanese pavilion and garden, monuments, an Afro-Brazil museum and planetarium are located among woodlands and along a lake. The park's attractions, however, are closed Mondays.
Brazil's growing economic strength has caused its real gain against the Canadian dollar. However the loonie is still worth about $1.70 here, giving Canadian travellers a steep discount.
- Learn some Portuguese. Unlike most of South America, Spanish isn't spoken here. In most malls and restaurants, English isn't either.
- Stick to taxis and the subway to get around. Taxis are cheap, but drivers generally speak no English. The subway is safe during daylight, but doesn't cover much of the city. Sao Paulo's streets are a tangle of winding avenues that change names. They're best left to the experts.
- Try the local cuisine. Check out a churrascaria, which is a barbecued meat binge. Waiters bring you dozen different cuts of meat in procession to your table -- unless you wave them off. Street vendors sell a pastry called pastel, which is a pocket of beef, cheese or vegetables.
- Leave the clubs at home. In a city of 18 million, Sao Paulo has few golf courses.
- Expect unexpected weather. Southern Brazil's hills and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean result in the weather changing suddenly from heat to downpour and back to heat again. Southern Brazil's temperatures can hit freezing, however, during its winter months of July and August.

A gang fight in a prison for illegal immigrants quickly escalated into a riot involving as many as 300 inmates, some lashing out with sticks or homemade knives as the uprising spread through the sprawling prison, a sheriff said. A guard was beaten to death and at least 20 other people were injured. The riot began Sunday afternoon and lasted into the night, with inmates dragging mattresses and wood to an outdoor recreation yard to set ablaze, Adams County Sheriff Chuck Mayfield said. While law enforcement agencies from several counties waited outside the Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, authorities inside responded with tear gas and tactical units. They slowly corralled the inmates into a yard and searched them. By 2:45 a.m. Monday, all prisoners were back in their cells and the prison was locked down. Mayfield said it's not clear if the violence began within a gang or it was a dispute between rival groups, but "once it got started, it spread like wildfire." "They had makeshift weapons, broom handles, mop handles, anything they could pull apart, trashcan lids for shields, anything they could grab," Mayfield said. The prison holds nearly 2,500 low-security inmates, with most serving time for coming back to the United States after being deported, said Emilee Beach, a prison spokeswoman. Some of the inmates have also been convicted of other crimes, but their offenses were not immediately clear. The facility is owned by Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corporation of America, one of the nation's largest private prison companies. Catlin Carithers, who joined CCA in 2009 and was a senior correctional officer, was beaten during the mayhem, Mayfield said. "He liked protecting people," Carithers' cousin, Jason Clark, told The Associated Press. Carithers was engaged to be married and excited about a recent promotion that took him off the weekend shifts. He had been trained in recent years as part of the prison's special response team and was called into work Sunday to help with the uprising, Clark said. More than two dozen officers were held hostage or were trapped at some point, the sheriff said. At least 17 prison employees were treated for various injuries and three inmates were hurt. The sheriff said the inmates hurt each other, with one getting stabbed and another had broken ribs. Bill Chandler, executive director of the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance, said his group has gotten complaints about the facility in the past year, mostly from people saying they weren't getting adequate health care. Frank Smith, who runs the online prison watchdog group Private Corrections Working Group, said those kinds of conditions that usually trigger a riot. "The big problem is CCA tries to cut corners in every possible way. They short-staff, they don't fix equipment, and things just get more and more out of control, and that's what leads to these riots. It's just about maximizing short-term profits," Smith said. The sheriff said the conditions at the prison had nothing to do with this riot, and he said there was probably little CCA could have done to stop the disturbance. "I think this kind of thing can happen anywhere at any time," he said. CCA said in a statement it would work with authorities to investigate what happened. "Unfortunately, no system is immune to disturbances," the statement said. "Though this is only the second time in our company's nearly 30-year history that one of our own has lost his life to inmate assault, it doesn't make it any less tragic or difficult. This is a sad reminder of the challenges that come with providing this vital public service." CCA houses about 75,000 offenders and detainees in more than 60 facilities around the country, according to its website. In 2004, inmates at a different CCA prison in Mississippi set fire to mattresses, clothing and a portable toilet. No injuries were reported. The company announced after that disturbance that it would add about 25 guards at the Tallahatchie County facility. In Idaho, violence at a CCA-run prison has prompted federal lawsuits, public scrutiny and increased state oversight. In 2010, Vermont inmates being held at a CCA prison in Tennessee were subdued with chemical grenades after refusing to return to their cells.

Mike Krzyzewski's Daughter Recovering Well From Mild StrokePosted by jstevrtc on January 31st, 2011
Duke released a statement on Monday night confirming that Debbie Krzyzewski Savarino, the oldest daughter of Mike Krzyzewski, suffered a mild stroke as a result of a vertebral artery dissection "several weeks ago." She is expected to make a full recovery, according to the short AP article from Yahoo! Sports (linked above) and a more detailed writeup from Durham's Herald-Sun. Mrs. Savarino, 40, is in fact already back at work in her position as assistant director of Duke's Legacy Fund and Director of External Relations for Duke basketball.
Vertebral artery dissection is a leading cause of strokes in younger patients, especially those under 45. If you place your fingers on either side of your neck (gently), you'll feel the pulse from your carotid artery. The vertebral artery runs right behind and parallel to the carotid, along the vertebrae in the neck, and supplies blood to the brain. Dissection doesn't mean that the artery opens up and blood empties out into the body, but rather that one of the layers of the artery's inner lining breaks and blood flows into the wall, causing it to bulge, get trapped, and then clot. The clot obstructs the normal flow of blood through the artery and therefore to the brain, and the patient starts having any of numerous symptoms, like headache, dizziness, loss of coordination, facial droop (we don't know what Mrs. Savarino's symptoms were and will not speculate) — in other words, the symptoms people usually associate with a stroke. Obviously all strokes are inherently dangerous, and the possibility of long-term deficits is always there, but patients who experience a stroke caused by vertebral artery dissection often have good outcomes with little or no lingering effects.
Every single person here at RTC extends their prayers and well-wishes for Mrs. Savarino, and we're elated to read about what sounds like a great prognosis and a full recovery.

Questions and Answers
Toward the end of the post about The Girl from Monday I wrote, "It's sad to see once-interesting artists decide that they have messages to communicate to the world," which the commenter pointed to and said,
That's a strange statement. It could be argued that ALL artists feel they have messages to communicate to the world, and I can't see that as a bad thing. It seems that what you object to is the lack of sophistication in these particular messages, or their lack of relevance to you, not their existence.I then suggested it was a matter of approach, the difference between asking questions and giving answers, which elicited the question, "So no one has any answers to offer, even provisionally?" That seems a vital and important question to me, and it's made me try to think more specifically about why I so vehemently dislike what I tend to see as a pedantic use of fictional narratives (movies, short stories, novels, plays).
I'll start with what will, I'm sure, sound like an irrelevant semantic point: There is a difference, I think, between artists who "decide that they have messages to communicate to the world" and artists who "feel that they have messages to communicate to the world". It's probably true that everyone who creates things and makes them public feels they have something to communicate; otherwise, why bother? But to decide that you have something to communicate seems to me to be different, because a decision is more specific than a feeling, and it's the specificity -- the idea that you have a handle on Truth and now must go forth and communicate it -- that I dislike in narrative. A decision smacks of certainty; a feeling suggests exploration. It's the difference between something that makes you say, "Boy, that was preachy," rather than, "Wow, that's got me thinking..."
Maybe it has less to do with the artist's own ideas than it does with how the ideas within the work are shaped and expressed. When other elements within the work are as strong, or stronger than, the "message" being conveyed, it gives us something else to latch onto. Humor, for instance, can often make the message-bearing elements of a pedantic work more bearable. A richness of character development helps. Complexity of plot. Vivid imagery and language. The closest comparison I can think of to The Girl from Monday is Code 46, a movie that also projects a future dystopia from current trends, but which offers the viewer far more to think about, because its entire conception can't be summed up in a simple good/bad message. (There are plenty of better movies out there, but I'm trying to keep the comparison close.)
I do think people have answers to offer -- provisionally -- but I doubt that fictional narrative is the best way to offer them, and even if someone is determined that that is the best way, then they need to aim for complexity rather than simplicity. A simple message conveyed in a simple way is fine for greeting cards and political speeches, but such an approach weakens narrative fictions, which work best when the audience is given a variety of elements to consider and enjoy.
Terry Teachout wrote an essay about political theatre recently, and though I disagree with about half of it, I do think he's onto something, and I particularly liked when he quoted John Sayles:
Asked by an interviewer why so few American directors make political movies, Sayles replied, "I think more than being political or not political, it's often the problem of being complex: The characters aren't heroic. Sometimes they do things you don't like, even if you may like them, and it's hard to know exactly who the good guys and bad guys are, because everybody is a little bit compromised."Artists who decide they have a message to convey usually dispense with complexity, because complexity might insert noise in the message. (Sayles himself fell victim to this, I thought, with Silver City.) Yet complexity is one of the great strengths of narrative -- the ability to portray multiple characters and settings, to show human beings in conflict and harmony with each other, to explore time and emotion, to experiment with the effects of point of view. Look at Dostoyevsky, a writer who seemed to have very clear ideas about what sorts of messages he wanted to convey to his readers, but whose fiction is so complex, the characters so rich and varied in their beliefs and actions, that any polemical purpose usually gets destroyed.
In the theatre, Caryl Churchill is usually an excellent example of a writer with strong political and social convictions explored in her plays without those convictions seeming to overwhelm the audience with the playwright's answers to her own questions. (I wrote not too long ago about her play A Number. Top Girls is a clearer example: a play that is very much about feminism and women's place in society and history.)
It may be that I'm contradicting myself, because it's true what I object to is "the lack of sophistication in these particular messages ... not their existence." Or maybe not. If I get semantic again, I can object to the existence of messages: the word message suggests a statement, and I wonder just how sophisticated and complex such a thing can be. I'm suspicious of anything that could be said to have a political or social message rather than political or social subject matter. When an artist who has previously created interesting work decides that they have a message to convey, then they are squeezing their subject matter into a mold so that it will get that message out, and anything that distracts from the message is kept away. They have decided on an answer, and the answer is the message, with every other element of the work becoming subservient to the delivery of the answer. I think that's an impoverishing approach to creative work. It flatters an audience that agrees with the message and gives nothing to an audience that doesn't. At best, such a strategy is boring; at worst, dishonest and manipulative.
On the other hand, I'm wary of making any absolutist statements about art, and I'm moving dangerously toward that territory here. Geniuses can prove generalities wrong, and each film, play, novel, and story should be looked at for its own merits and oddities, not dismissed simply because it fits a template some crackpot critic came up with. Maybe I should try to crack fewer pots...

{{#TwitterFBLike:|small|like}}Happy Monkey Snowboards, Inc. from 2003-2010 as well as my continued personal building.
This will not be a comprehensive treatment of all the different ways to accomplish these tasks, but rather just the ways that I have personally done it which work well for me. For alternatives see SkiBuilders.com and GrafSnowboards.com, where they have collected detailed how-to's on how they and others build siks and snowboards. SkiBuilders has a great forum with even more information on alternatives.
Mike Magruder (a.k.a Head Monkey)
The following pages provide overviews of each part of the process, with links to detail pages:
- Construction – the steps to build a snowboard (assuming you have all the equipment and materials)
- Equipment – the machines and tools needed to build a snowboard
- Materials – the materials needed to build a snowboard
- Resources – background and basic skills for woodworking, composites, etc.
- About – purpose of this site, how to ask questions, and how to contribute
The articles in this wiki are (or will be soon!) heavily categorized. The page Special:Categories lists all categories and is an alternative way to browse thru the content on this site.
What about skis?
I've only built snowboards, but you'll find that ski and snowboard construction are amazingly similar. You can use all of the information here to build either, even though it all refers to snowboards. It's okay :)
There are a few placeholders, but otherwise the articles that are here now are technically correct and up-to-date. The only exception would be articles in Category:Not Ready. Take them with a grain of salt.
Any articles in Category:Needs Editing just need edits for grammar and readibility.

Kitchen Tour: Haewon's Maximized Family Kitchen
Haewon is a working mom who lives in Forest Hills, New York, with her husband and two daughters. When they bought their very first home, she had a lot of requirements for the kitchen, since she loves to cook with her girls. This kitchen had it all. She did add a little cabinet space so she can squirrel away all her appliances, since she admits that she has nearly every kitchen small appliance you can think of! Come see how well she uses her kitchen, and the sweet details that make this such a great place for her to cook with her little girls.
Haewon says that when they were apartment searching four years ago the first thing she looked at was the kitchen. She is a working mom of two little girls, they all love to cook. She wanted a kitchen with a window, and countertops that wouldn't stain. There needed to be enough space for her and the girls to bake together.
Fortunately they found a place with a great little kitchen, and all they needed to do was to replace the countertop and install a backsplash. She did want extra cabinet space to store all my pots and china her mom gave her, and that she managed to bring back from Korea in two full suitcases.
She also has (or used to have) every possible kitchen appliance you can think of (yogurt maker, bread machine, ice cream maker) and she actually uses each of them often. So she hides them away throughout the apartment, since she likes her city kitchen clean and clutter-free. She added the red cabinet in the kitchen and it is dedicated to storing all the Tupperware.
Haewon says that she needs to put dinner on the table in 30 minutes when she gets home after work so she likes to prep all the veggies and other meal basics on the weekends. Her small refrigerator makes this hard, though. She says, "I love the colors in my kitchen and the layout works for us although we couldn't fit in an island or a breakfast table. We tried so hard to find a larger fridge that fits in the current fridge space but failed. So we're stuck with this average size fridge that's too small for Asian families who love to batch cook soup and side dishes." She also doesn't like the floor tiles, "They are falling apart and you can hear them when you walk on them."
But detractions aside, this kitchen has turned out to be a well-maximized, snug space for her to cook with her family. She says, "My friends comment on the amount of kitchen things (dishes, appliances, gadgets) I have and how I manage to use every inch of the space to tuck them all away."
10 Questions for Haewon (& Her Kitchen)
1. What's your cooking style?
Whip it up. Whipping up dinner in 30 minutes after work is my specialty.
2. What inspires your kitchen?
My kids. This kitchen is too small to be that, but I've always wanted a kitchen with an island where my kids(and husband too!) would do their homework and just hang out and help out while I cook. I'm a bit obsessed with buying things that my girls would also enjoy. I really didn't need another whisk — I thought my oldest daughter would get a kick out of the Silicone Rainbow Whisk.
And I've now decided that I'm a collector of Scandinavian snack trays.
3. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
The red cabinet which holds most of my Tupperware and baking tools. Because of its bright color I regretted not having gone with something more neutral immediately after we brought it home. But it became the key piece in making my kitchen feel welcome.
4. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received?
You eat with your eyes first.
5. Biggest challenge in your kitchen?
Fishing out utensils from the cubby drawers that I can barely reach into — they're so high up. I've now memorized which drawer holds what and I could make out the pieces just by feeling them with my finger tips.
But I can't wait for my baby to graduate from those Dr. Brown bottles so I can get my counter space back.
6. Biggest indulgence?
White iittala Teema dinner plates. My excuse was that I needed plain white dinnerware at some point and I had a promotion code. Well, we use them everyday for breakfast or for entertaining and I absolutely love them.
7. What dream tool or splurge do you hope to add to the kitchen?
All-Clad Slow Cooker with cast aluminum insert. Because the only reason I don't use my $40 crock pot is because you can't brown meat in the porcelain insert. Seriously.
8. What are you cooking this week?
Korean style spicy chicken barbecue.
9. What cookbook has inspired you the most?
Apples for Jam has taught me that food doesn't have to be styled perfectly to look beautiful.
10. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
My daughter's fourth birthday party. I placed my 4-layer chocolate green tea cake in the sink before showering it with rainbow sprinkles. And I threw out all my leftovers from the fridge to make room for the tall beautiful cake I just made.

Microsoft, Eolas Settle: It's Still Cheaper To Pay Up Than Fight Bogus Patents
from the such-is-life dept
Of course, as we've learned time and time again, since this process is so long, and the risk of losing gets costlier and costlier the longer you wait, it appears Microsoft has given up invalidating this highly questionable patent and has simply paid off Eolas in a settlement. The amount isn't defined, but Eolas is gleefully telling its shareholders to expect a dividend shortly. Once again, this highlights nearly everything wrong with the patent system and why it needs to be changed. A very broad and vague concept with plenty of prior art gets patented by a small firm that doesn't actually do anything. Then it holds up a large company that is actually offering a product to the market, and forces them to change their product, taking away functionality, while trying to collect hundreds of millions of dollars that could have gone towards further innovation. On top of that, it highlights how difficult, slow and convoluted the patent review process is that makes it so difficult to actually contest these questionable patents. In the end, it's often just cheaper to pay up, diverting money from actual innovation into the legal system. What a shame.

As a matter of fact they thought I was a little loopy (that's a nicer wotd than stupid) for writing it. I wonder if jaypat and coltraining feel that way now? Honest answers from all please. Has anyone's opinion changed on Harrington?
sigh, reggie. You quote me as saying things I never said. As a matter of fact, the first time I have ever used the word "loopy" in a post is right now, and the only time I have used the word stupid is to refer to Pietrus on the basketball court. Let me clarify for you, if you don't want to go back to my original response. What I said was I strongly disagreed with the statement that Harrington was another Mike Dunleavy. Harrington is a much better player than that. Even in a bad game (which he, along with every warrior had last night), he made an amazing coast to coast drive, demonstrating a skill level Mike Dunleavy can only dream about.
As I watch this sad sad team, there is no player other than Monta (and arguably Stephen Jackson prior to his injury) who is playing well the majority of the time. My opinion on Harrington has not changed. he is a good 3rd or 4th option on a team. the options should be: BD, (a 2005-2006) Jrich, Monta, Harrington and/or Jackson. He is the #2 option right now, as he was on Indiana, and he is not at that level. In the right role, he will give the team 15-20 points a game and is the best 3 point shooter on the team (well cabbage is the best, but he can never get open).
Sorry col, I didn't say you ssid i was loopy, I said you and other "think" I'm loopy based on my past posts. Maybe I didn't quite say it right in the beginning of my posts. You and the others thought I was way off base on the damn fantasy team tourney that pest so graciously put together. My post may be different but that's OK. I like to think outside the box sometime and not just go with the company line. Just saying "Go Warriors" is boring and not very original. At least give me props for being original and my own man.

ClemsonWBB win 56-52 Over Creighton
|2013-12-21 08:16:32.0-
LAS VEGAS, NV - The Clemson women's basketball team took down 2013 NCAA Tournament participant Creighton, 56-52, in the second game of the Duel in the Desert in Las Vegas, NV on Thursday night. Clemson (7-4) got 22 points and nine rebounds off the bench from senior Quinyotta Pettaway, and improved to 5-0 when holding an opponent below 55 points this season.
The Tigers held the Jays (5-6) to a 5-25 (.200) mark from behind the arc and blocked six shots en route to the win in the first meeting all-time between the programs.
Clemson led the game wire-to-wire, and led by as many as 12 in the first half. Creighton trimmed the lead to three with two minutes to play with the ball, but the Tigers came up with consecutive stops on the defensive end to close out.
Charmaine Tay added 11 points, including a pair of late mid-range jumpers to help put the game away, while Chelsea Lindsay had four assists to lead the squad. Her pass to set up Pettaway with 1:43 remaining as the shot clock expired was arguably the play of the game.
Clemson will close play in the Duel in the Desert on Saturday at 8:00 pm EST against Oregon State (7-3). The game will be broadcast live on WCCP FM and free video is available at TGVN.tv. Oregon State lost to Creighton, 70-62, on Thursday, but defeated the host UNLV Rebels, 68-60, on Friday night.
Player of the Game: Quinyotta Pettaway - The senior had 22 points and 9 rebounds, two of which came on the defensive end in the final minute of play
Stat of the Game: 30 - A game after going to the line a season-low two times on Thursday, Clemson went to the line a season-high 30 times on Friday
Individual Notes:
Kelly Gramlich earned her third start of the season after scoring 49 points and hitting 15 three-pointers over the last two games. However, she was held without a three-point goal for the first time in five games
Quinyotta Pettaway had 11 points in each half in the game. It was her third double-figure scoring game of the season and 33rd of her career. Her 22 points were a season-high
Pettaway added nine rebounds in the contest, leaving her with 559 for her career. She passed Jeannette Davis (1994-98) for 15th in Clemson history
Nikki Dixon took a charge with 11:51 to play in the second half. It was her third charge taken of the season and 19th of her career
Sade Chatman tied a career-best nine points on 4-5 (1-2 FT) shooting, and had three steals
Team Notes:
This was the first meeting between Creighton and Clemson in each school's history
The Tigers had 12 turnovers, the seventh time in the last eight game that they have committed fewer than 20
Creighton went to the 2nd round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament. They are the second team that Clemson has beaten this season that advanced in the most recent tournament, including the win at South Florida on Nov. 24.
Audra Smith Quotes:
"I'm proud of the way we hung in in the second half and kept the lead and our composure. I knew we had to do something different to shake this Creighton team up because they run their offense so efficiently, so I said 'hey, we're going to press.' We haven't really practiced the press, and you could tell because a couple of times we were beat long, but at least it was enough to rattle them and give them some different looks."
"We did a really good job offensively of controlling each possession, and taking good care of the basketball and getting to the line. I emphasized before the game that we needed to penetrate and attack them off the bounce. But, the defense is really what got it done for us. To hold this team to 52 points was awesome. I'm proud of the defensive effort and how we played defensively and obviously Quinyotta Pettaway was the answer for us offensively tonight.

Hendricken competes in 'virtual' national championship
Coming off its 17-14 upset victory over La Salle in the Division I Super Bowl last month, the Bishop Hendricken football team was entered into a virtual national championship to determine the best high school team in the country.
The 'Super 25 Virtual National Championship' is in its third season, and it pits all 50 state champions and 14 at-large teams against each other in a championship bracket, where they will face off in computer-simulated games.
The program to determine the winners was designed by Ken Massey, whose computer models were used to create the BCS rankings for college football in 1999.
Hendricken, which was a 16-seed in the tournament, lost its first-round match-up to top-seeded Don Bosco Prep from New Jersey.
The winner of the entire tournament will be announced at 12 p.m. on January 16 at: http://www.highschoolsports.net/massey/NationalChampionship/Football/Varsity/Boys/2011/.
HighSchoolSports.net is also hosting the 'Super 25 People's Champion' tournament, which fans can vote on throughout January.
Hendricken is entered in that contest as well, and the team with the most votes will receive $2,000 toward their athletic department. To vote, go to http://www.highschoolsports.net/mvnc/.

Services for the Elderly and Disabled
The Cedar Falls Public Library has several programs designed especially for seniors. Third Age Project began with a grant that was developed by the Cedar Falls and Waterloo Public Libraries, the Hawkeye Valley Area Agency on Aging and the Jesse Cosby Center.
This program provides library and other associated outreach services to seniors where they live and gather. In other words, this outreach targets senior citizens-both active seniors and those confined to their homes, or those living in assisted living facilities or nursing/retirement homes.
Homebound Services
The Cedar Falls Public Library provides delivery service to those senior citizens and patrons with disabilities who are unable to get to the library. Qualifying patrons receive a special library card which enables them to borrow materials for up to eight weeks and there are never any overdue fines or replacement costs for lost materials. Library materials are delivered by volunteers or library staff at no charge.
Nursing/Retirement Homes and Senior Centers
The Cedar Falls Public Library also loans out collections of large print books and audio books on a rotating basis to various nursing/retirement homes,senior apartment complexes and senior centers in Cedar Falls. Trained volunteers are also available to read to nursing/retirement home residents.
Vision and Mobility Aids at the Library
Vision Aids
The second floor has two new aids for visually impaired patrons to use on-site. The TV type low vision aid magnifies items up to 65 times using soft touch controls and auto focus.
