Mathematically Unconscious
Both of my sons sleepwalk. At least once a week, one of them will wake up an hour after bedtime, walk down the stairs, and start speaking gibberish. They have no idea what they're saying, because they aren't awake — even though their eyes are open. (Freaky!)
During a recent somnambulation, Alex stood at the top of the stairs. He appeared frustrated. Finally, he said:
I just need to find the numbers. It shouldn't take long.
As you might well imagine, it's a little scary to have your son walking and talking while asleep. The only solace is that his subconscious thoughts are about math.
I don't sleepwalk. But I recently had a dream in which I attended a cocktail party and asked the other attendees a most unusual question:
I suspect that my 7 years as an editor and 4 years as a question writer for MathCounts are to blame, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept.
I vividly remember a dream I had in college, on the night prior to my Linear Algebra midterm. Feeling unprepared for the exam, my nightmare consisted of two brackets pinching my head like a vice, while numbers floated past.
I awoke in a cold sweat at 5 a.m., and proceeded to a study carrel for more test prep.
I was happy to learn that other folks dream about math, too. While subscribed to a listserve for former instructors of the Center for Talented Youth, I received a message from Mark Jason Dominus that read, "I dreamt of the following problem while I was sleeping last night. When I woke up, I convinced myself that it was a good problem, so I've decided to share it."
The volume of a 3 × 3 × 3 cube is 27 cubic units, and the volume of a 2 × 2 × 1 rectangular prism is 4 cubic units. Theoretically, six prisms should be able to fit inside the cube, with three cubic units empty. But can you arrange six 2 × 2 × 1 prisms so they fit inside a 3 × 3 × 3 cube?
Good luck, and sweet dreams!
4 Folds, 40 Theorems, and Chinese New Year
If you asked a mathematician how to make an origami coin purse for Chinese New Year, you might receive the following instructions:
- Rotate a square piece of paper 45°.
- Reflect an isosceles right triangle about a diagonal of the square so that congruent isosceles right triangles coincide.
- Reflect the lower left vertex of the isosceles right triangle so it coincides with the opposite leg, such that the base of the isosceles right triangle and one side of the newly formed isosceles acute triangle are parallel.
- Reflect the other vertex of the isosceles right triangle to coincide with a vertex of the isosceles triangle formed in the previous step.
- Fold down a smaller isosceles right triangle from the top.
- Fill the coin purse with various denominations of currency, such as a $2 bill, a $1 gold coin, a quarter, or a penny.
Don't like those directions? Perhaps these pictures will help.
To be truly authentic for Chinese New Year, you'll want to use red paper instead of white.
The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) have added rigor to geometry by requiring students to prove no fewer than a dozen different theorems. Further, the geometry progressions document formulated by Dr. Hung-Hsi Wu suggests that a high school geometry course should use a transformational approach, basing a majority of the foundational axioms on rotations, translations, and reflections.
What struck me about the origami coin purse was the myriad geometry concepts that could be investigated during this simple paper-folding activity. Certainly, the idea to use origami in geometry class in nothing new, but this one seems to have a particularly high return on investment. Creating the coin purse requires only four folds, and though perhaps I lied by claiming forty theorems in the title, the number of axioms, definitions, and theorems that can be explored is fairly high. (Claiming "forty theorems" wasn't so much untruthful as much as it was archaic. The word forty has been used to represent a large but unknown quantity, especially in religious stories or folk tales, as in Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, it rained "40 days and 40 nights," or Moses and the Israelites wandered the desert for 40 years.)
For instance, the fold in Step 3 requires parallel lines, and the resulting figures can be used to demonstrate and prove that parallel lines cut by a transversal result in alternate interior angles that are congruent.
No fewer than four similar isosceles right triangles are formed, and many congruent isosceles right triangles result.
The folded triangle in the image above is an isosceles acute triangle; prove that it's isosceles. And if you unfold it from its current location, the triangle's previous location and the unfolded triangle together form a parallelogram; prove it.
The final configuration contains a pair of congruent right triangles; you can use side-angle-side to prove that they're congruent.
But maybe you're not into proving things. That's all right. The following are all of the geometric terms that can be used when describing some facet of this magnificent creation.
- Parallel
- Congruent
- Similar
- Alternate
- Angle
- Square
- Reflection
- Rotation
- Translation
- Transversal
- Bisect
- Coincide
- Right Angle
- Perpendicular
- Isosceles
- Vertex
- Triangle
- Trapezoid
- Parallelogram
- Pentagon
And the following theorems and axioms can be proven or exemplified with this activity.
- Sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.
- Alternate interior angles formed by a transversal are congruent.
- Any quadrilateral with four congruent sides is a parallelogram.
- Congruent angles are formed by an angle bisector.
- Triangles with two sides and the included angle congruent are congruent.
There is certainly more to be found. What do you see?
Snowzilla Math for Back to School
I don't know where you live, or how much snow you've gotten, or whether your kids have been out of school for multiple days. But here in Falls Church, VA, it's Thursday, January 28 — five full days after snow stopped falling from Winter Storm Jonas — and our schools are still closed.
My sons lounge around in their pajamas all day, only getting off the couch to interrupt my work-from-home day and ask for macaroni and cheese. It's starting to feel like we've had two eight-year-old brothers-in-law take up residence.
That's why I've used data from Snowzilla to create a series of math activities. Today's assignment is for them to complete the following and not bother me till they're done. Feel free to use any of these with the youngsters in your life, whether they're your biological offspring from whom you need a break at home or your charges in a classroom who might enjoy the challenge.
What do geometry teachers do in a blizzard?
Make snow angles.
Schools have had a record number of snow days. At this rate, the only math kids are doing is how many glasses of wine their mom drinks before 2 p.m. – Jimmy Fallon
1. Chris Christopher, a macroeconomist at IHS Global Insight, estimated that Jonas's economic impact would be somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion.
a. Write both of those numbers in the form 2m × 5n.
b. If all values within the range are equally likely, what is the probability that the impact will be greater than $800 million?
c. If all values within the range are normally distributed, what is the probability that the impact will be greater than $800 million?
Bonus. Can you think of another occupation where it's appropriate to state a prediction in which the upper end of the range is double the lower end?
2. In the Washington, DC, area, the average weekly sales in a typical supermarket is about $10 per square foot. In the two days leading up to Jonas, traffic to brick-and-mortar stores was 7.5 percent higher than usual. The graph below, based on national averages, shows the percent of weekly shoppers at grocery stores each day of the week.
Putting all this information together, as well any other data that you can find online, draw a graph that approximates sales at a typical grocery store in Washington, DC, for the month of January.
3. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe estimated that snow removal costs the commonwealth $2 million to $3 million per hour. Estimate the total cost for Virginia to clean up Jonas's mess.
4. According to City Comptroller Scott Stringer, the cost of snow removal in New York City is approximately $1.8 million per inch. Estimate the total cost for New York City to remove the snow from Jonas.
5. The estimate above is an average for 2003 to 2014. The two graphs below show the snowfall totals and snow removal costs for those 12 years. Which years had the highest and lowest cost-per-inch? (Click each image to enlarge.)
16 Math Problems for 2016
Yes, I know that I just posted some Math Problems for 2016 on December 19.
But I've decided to post some more for a variety of reasons:
- 2016 is cool.
- It's a triangular number.
- It has lots of factors. (I'd tell you exactly how many, except that's one of the problems below.)
- After writing the problems for that previous post, I just couldn't control myself.
- It's my blog, and I can do what I want.
People who write math problems for competitions (like me) love to be cheeky and include the year number in a problem, especially when any sufficiently large number will do. When the year number is critical to the success of a problem, well, that's just a bonus. With that in mind, there are 16 problems below, each of which includes the number 2016.
A fully formatted version of these problems, complete with answer key, extensions, and solutions, is available for purchase through the link below:
16 Problems for 2016 — just $1
Enjoy, and happy new year!
- What is the sum of 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + ··· + 2016?
- Using only common mathematical symbols and the digits 2, 0, 1, and 6, make an expression that is exactly equal to 100.
- Find a fraction with the following decimal equivalent.
- How many positive integer factors does 2016 have?
- What is the value of n if 1 + 2 + 3 + ··· + n = 2016?

- What is the base-8 representation of 2016?
Probability, the Playoffs, and the Indianapolis Colts
With one week left in the NFL season, Dan Graziano had this to say about the Indianpolis Colts' chances of making the playoffs:
Indianapolis can still win a third straight AFC South title. Really, it can. All it needs is to win and then have the Texans, Bengals, Chargers, Jets, Saints, Chiefs, Patriots and Browns all lose. The league will throw in the partridge in a pear tree.
If the Colts win and the Houston Texans lose, both would be 8-8, and the first four tiebreakers for deciding which team makes the playoffs – record against one another, record against divisional opponents, record against common opponents, and record within the conference – would not be enough to decide who makes the cut.
It then comes down to strength of victory and strength of schedule. And for things to play out in the Colts' favor, a lot of things have to go their way.
Fox Sports referred to this as long shot, comparing it to a recent win by a horse who was 200-to-1:
Sure, going 9 for 9 here looks dim, but long shots come in every once in a while.
Are the Colts' odds as good as that horse's? Seems not.
Using a simplistic model, assume that each of the nine necessary outcomes are equally likely. That alone would put the Colts' odds at 511-to-1. (Since 29 = 512.)
But it's not that simple. The following chart from 538.com gives the probability of each team winning their game this weekend:
The good news is that the Colts have an 81% chance of winning their game against Tennessee. The bad news is that it seems unlikely that any of the Texans, Bengals, Chiefs, or Patriots will lose, let alone all four of them. So putting all those numbers together, the Colts' chances of making the playoffs are:
0.81 × 0.20 × 0.22 × 0.84 × 0.54 × 0.69 × 0.15 × 0.18 × 0.77 = 0.0002 = 0.02%
or, more precisely, about 4,311-to-1. That's more than a long shot; that's an extended-to-an-unfathomable-distance shot.
The Colts are in the unenviable position of Lloyd Christmas in Dumb and Dumber, "So, you're telling me there's a chance…"
Math Problems for 2016
"What homework do you have to do tonight?"
I ask my sons this question daily, when I'm trying to determine if they'll need to spend the evening doing word study or completing a math worksheet, or if we'll instead be able to waste our time watching The Muppets or, perhaps, pulling up the animated version of Bob and Doug Mackenzie's 12 Days of Christmas on Dailymotion.
When I asked this question last night, though, the answer was surprising:
We have to do our reading, but we already completed your math problem.
My problem? I had no idea what this meant. So they explained:
It's not a problem you gave us. It's one we got from [our teacher], and it says, "This problem was written by Patrick Vennebush."
I was puzzled, but then it dawned on me. I asked, "Does it have a monkey at the top with the word BrainTEASERS?"
"Which problem?"
"It's about the word CAT."
I knew the problem immediately. It's the Product Value 60 brainteaser from Illuminations:
Assign each letter a value equal to its position in the alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, …). Then find the product value of a word by multiplying the values together. For example, CAT has a product value of 60, because C = 3, A = 1, T = 20, and 3 × 1 × 20 = 60.
How many other words can you find with a product value of 60?
As it turns out, there are 14 other words with a product value of 60. Don't feel bad if you can't find them all; while they're all allowed in Scrabble™, the average person won't recognize half of them.
You can see the full list and some definitions in this problem and solution PDF.
This problem resurfaced at the perfect time.
With 2016 just around the corner, no doubt many math teachers will present the following problem to students after winter break:
Find a mathematical expression for every whole number from 0 to 100, using only common mathematical symbols and the digits 2, 0, 1, and 6. (No other digits are allowed.)
And that's not a bad problem. It gets even better if you require the digits to be used in order. For instance, you could make:
- 2 = 20 + 16
- 9 = 2 + 0 + 1 + 6
- 36 = (2 + 0 + 1)! × 6
But that problem is a bit played out. I've seen it used in classrooms every year since… well, since I used it in my classroom in 1995.
So here are two versions of a problem — the first one being for younger folks — using the year and based on the Product Value 60 problem above:
How many words can you find with a product value of 16?
How many words can you find with a product value of 2016?
There are 5 words that have a product value of 16 and 12 words that have a product value of 2016 (spoiler: those links will take you to images of the answers). As above, you may not recognize all of the words on those lists, but some will definitely be familiar.
Rebus Redux
I recently received an email from Akram in Lebanon who saw the Rebus Quiz on the MJ4MF website and suggested the following rebus:
The answer is below, but I'll give you two hints.
The first is that you might say the same thing to a calculus student who spent 4 hours completing an integration problem only to forget the constant.
The second hint is that Akram's suggested rebus reminds me of this one, which you may have seen before and is very appropriate for the holidays:
The answer to this one is below, also.
But Akram's email convinced me that it was time to create a few more, so here are five all-new rebuses (or is that rebi?) for you to enjoy.
To put a little space between the rebuses and the answers below, here's one more rebus from Sandy Wood:
SPOILER ALERT… Answers Below
ENTURY: Long time, no C (see)
ABCDEFGHIJKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ: No L (noel)
- A + 6 backwards = AXIS
- SINE + double U = SINEW
- ONION + PI in the middle = OPINION
- Dr. OZ + ONE = OZONE

Madonna Exposes, Mtv Opposes: Is Her New, Naughty Video Art or Just a Boy Toy Marketing Ploy?
We're speaking, of course, of Madonna. Not since Michael Jackson has anyone so brilliantly worked the media—and Madonna has done it without acknowledged plastic surgery, attempting to collect the skeletal remains of celebrated 19th-century disease victims or building a shrine to Liz Taylor. Just a good Catholic girl with a song in her heart, a crucifix around her neck and a jiggle in her bustier, Madonna Louise Ciccone conquered the world with music, sex appeal and steamy videos.
Now, after seven years of ultrafame, there seemed little controversy left to stir. Boy Toy, Material Girl, Like a Virgin but Not Quite. Madonna had already exposed most of her body parts on video and, via unearthed, unauthorized photos, on the pages of Playboy and Penthouse. She had grappled With the great themes: teen pregnancy, crotch grabbing, spanking (she defended all three); toyed with voyeurism (in Open Your Heart), bondage (in Express Yourself), masturbation (during the Blonde Ambition tour) and stigmata (in Like a Prayer); and endured tabloid reports that she once spent nine hours "trussed up like a turkey" after a spat with then-hubby Sean Penn. Then there was that oh-so-close relationship with comedian Sandra Bernhard and a fling with the world's friendliest bachelor, Warren Beatty—which, mirabile dictu, began during the filming and lasted barely a nanosecond beyond the launch of Beatty's would-be blockbuster, Dick Tracy.
So what to do for an encore? Madonna's answer was Justify My Love, the video that, in what has turned out to be a marketing coup, was banned by MTV, the music video network that Madonna and hundreds of nameless female models in black lace underwear helped popularize.
How does Justify My Love differ from other skin-with-a-beat videos? Let us count the ways. Here's Madonna, in black bra, stockings and stiletto heels, putting the moves on her real-life boyfriend, model Tony Ward. Moments later she's lip-synching with Parisian model Amanda Cazalet, 25, who is dressed like a Nazi hooker with suspenders that barely cover her nipples. Now Madonna, Cazalet and Ward are offering free instruction in a certain Kama Sutra technique while two very androgynous gents pat each other more affectionately than football players after a big play. All of which has left fans hot, censors bothered and fearless news programmers lined up to air the forbidden footage. The "video single" will be on sale before holiday shopping malls close; could it have been teed up better?
The French director responsible for much of the scorch, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, locked the cast in Paris's Royal Monceau Hotel for two days in order to warm things up before shooting on the third. Cazalet took the assignment not for the scale pay, says her modeling agent, Robert Ferrell, but for (what else?) "the exposure." Cazalet enjoyed it so much she still carries a close-up photo of the Madonna smooch in her purse. "It's real lip-to-lip," Ferrell says. "It's great." Madonna agrees. As she told the New York Times, "I think the video is romantic and loving and has humor in it."
Any questions, class? Yes, the blond in the back?
"Why is it that people are willing to go to a movie and watch someone get blown to bits for no reason and nobody wants to see two girls kissing or two men snuggling?"
Uh, Madonna, what are you doing in this class?

How alternative protein is going wild
Stroll down the aisle of almost any pet-supply store and you're likely to see dog food that rivals the offerings of a high-end butcher shop: salmon, venison and duck, plus pheasant, bison, rabbit and ostrich. You'll even find critters that aren't on anyone's menu, including beaver and Australian brushtail possum. Mmmmmm good. While the vast majority of dog owners stick to the basics — beef,...

AT&T Quietly Lights Up Carrier Aggregation in Chicago
Article Comments 12
Mar 6, 2014, 3:10 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
updated Mar 7, 2014, 10:32 AM
AT&T has improved its LTE network in Chicago and several other markets by using an LTE-Advanced technique called Carrier Aggregation. GigaOm confirmed the soft launch with AT&T SVP of Network Technologies Kris Rinne. With Carrier Aggregation, AT&T has combined the channels of its existing spectrum to double the capacity. AT&T is running LTE in both the 700MHz and AWS bands in Chicago. By aggregating the channels together, AT&T can deliver theoretical peak download speeds of 110Mbps to devices with the proper radio support. At the moment, AT&T is selling only one device with Carrier Aggregation, the Unite mobile hotspot. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is expected to be the first smartphone to support Carrier Aggregation in the U.S. AT&T did not name the other two markets that have access to Carrier Aggregation, but said that more markets on are on the way. Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless are all in various stages of deploying Carrier Aggregation in their own LTE networks.

( April 13, 1990) Oxford, England -- from the start of his pontificate, Pope John Paul, the first Slav pope, has shared a dream. He proclaimed the "spiritual unity of Europe," called for open frontiers and demanded religious freedom for Catholics of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
In 1989, the year of peaceful revolutions, that dream came several giant steps closer to realization. Eastern Europe has become once more Central Europe. Democracy has poked through. Yet the Vatican's euphoria about the events has been muted and tempered by alarm at their possible negative consequences.
Of course Pope John Paul II rejoiced. " Warsaw, Moscow, Budapest, Berlin, Prague, Sofia, Bucharest," he told the diplomats accredited to the Holy See Jan. 14, "have become stages in a long pilgrimage toward liberty." The list was instructive.
Warsaw rightfully came first, because there the first breakthrough occurred; Moscow deserved an honorable mention, as a tribute to Mikhail Gorbachev; the omission of the capitals of Soviet republics such as Lithuania or Armenia was tactful in the presence of the Soviet diplomat Yuri Karlov, last week formally named as the Kremlin's man in the Vatican.
What made it all happen? John Paul said "the irrepressible thirst for liberty had speeded up developments, made walls tumble down and opened gates." He noted, without dwelling on it, the role churches played.
He struck a note of anticommunist triumphalism: "In countries in which for years a single party has dictated the truth to be believed and the meaning to be given to human history, these brothers have shown that it is impossible to stifle fundamental freedoms which give meaning to human life; freedom of thought, of conscience, of religion, of expression, of political and cultural pluralism."

My baby won't eat solid food. Help!
My nearly 7-month-old son has a strong aversion to solids -- he only wants breast milk, which I occasionally supplement with formula. He's even gone as far as throwing up when he sees a spoon of cereal coming! I've tried veggies and even a few fruits. He grimaces and gags and spits it all out. Help!

Hi, My son is 11 months old. WE have him on stage 3 foods. He will only eat the ones without the solid pieces in them. If I try to give him one with noodles, rice or carrots he sucks the baby food off and spits out the solid part. He eats cheerios and goldfish, but won't touch another solid. I have even tried to puree green beans, carrots and sweet potatoes. It's as if he knows it didn't come out of the jar. I have tried forcing mashed food in his mouth so he can get used to the texture but he makes this horrible gagging motion and spits it out. I also tried waiting until he was really hungry and putting the solids on his plate and he just mashes them up and throws it on the floor. Am I on the right track? I'm sure this will come in time but is there anything I can do to help him along?posted 12/30/2005 by brookemon
My 8 month-old has an aversion to fruit, which seems unusual! We went through cereal, yellow and green veggies with no problem, but now that we're trying fruit, he wants nothing to do with them! I've tried bananas, applesauce, peaches and pears and he just refuses to open his mouth after having one or two bites! I've tried mixing them with cereal and it hasn't worked.posted 12/29/2005 by MariaMer66
hi, i would like some advice. i have a friend who started feeding her baby solids at 6 months but has scaled back now that she's 9 1/2 months and isn't feeding her as much as she did. i have been around her several evenings lately and the baby gets no food, just formula. my friend says the dr. says the formula has all she needs but i disagree, with the baby the age she is. advice, please....i am worried about the babyposted 12/29/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
My 10 month old absolutely refuses food (aside from breastmilk of course)I could really use some advice!!! PLEASE GIVE ME SOME!!!!posted 12/12/2005 by Jenniferkemshaw
My 11 month old will eat Stage 2 baby food but gags/vomits Stage 3 textured foods and home-made sweet potatoes and banannas. He also does not want to/will not hold a sippy cup or bottle. He is both breast-fed and supplemented. He is my 2nd - my first son ate with gusto. I will appreciate any ideas/suggestions. Thank youposted 12/10/2005 by David's daughter
My 7 month son will eat solids, but only 1/4 the recommended amount a day. In addition, he has rejected the bottle and will only drink milk from me. Since he was born he has been an underweight baby and my husband and I were hoping that eating solids would help him gain weight. Any suggestions for babies with small apetites?posted 12/08/2005 by MommyMadhi
My son is also 7 months old. We introduced solids as soon as he turned 6 months & he pretty much liked everything. About 2 weeks ago, he quit opening his mouth & now it is a hit or miss situation for us. The Dr.'s advice to us was to give him a break for a week -- no solids. Well, all I could do was 3 days. He began eating again, but just today he stopped. He also has no interest in feeding himself. I wanted to let you know that you are not alone. It can be very frustrating! I am hoping with a little more time he will start to show an interest in food. Good luck to you & your little one! BTW: Did you talk to your child's Dr. about it?posted 11/16/2005 by mjtex
I have a 7month old and he will not eat jar food. He will make himself vomit as soon as I put a bite of food in his mouth. He nurses and takes formula. Lately less formula and wants more breast milk. He only 14pounds.. Im worried.posted 11/07/2005 by brookce
My daughter is 6 months and will eat sweet potatoes and squash,and most recently pears -- but reluctantly. She wont open her mouth completely, so I kind of have to stick the spoon in there to get her to open up. She at least swallows it now without spitting it all back out (unless she doesn't like something -- like peaches or bananas, then out the hatch it goes!). MY advice is to just find a food your baby takes readily at first, whether its fruits, vegetables, cereal (my daughter hated cereal too, i skipped that stage after about a week of no luck) - whatever. That gets your foot in the door and your baby used to what solids are like. I like beech nut jarred food for my daughter and she seems to like it too!posted 10/22/2005 by theerinshow7365
I have a 9 month old who just hates solids. I started giving him solids at 4 1/2 month. He used to love it and ate untill he was 7 month old. Then he just stopped. I tried to give different kinds of food from gerber to what we eat, but he hates everything. Do you guys have any suggestions.posted 10/03/2005 by a BabyCenter Member

Vt. police say cause of St. Michael's fire unknownMarch 07,2014COLCHESTER-Vermont State Police now say that a fire last month at Saint Michael's College in Colchester was not caused by an electrical space heater as originally thought.
Police and fire officials said Thursday that they have not determined the cause of the early morning fire that broke out in a town house on campus on Feb. 17 but say it was not suspicious.
Police say an investigation determined that no space heaters were in use and that the electric heater units mounted on the walls in the building did not cause the fire.
No one was injured in the fire, which caused an estimated $250,000 in damage.MORE IN This Just InROCKINGHAM Wildlife will be celebrated at the 17th annual Herricks Cove Wildlife Festival...

Thank you, everyone, for the greetings you have sent by email.
I will remember especially those of you who have been benefactors in a Christmas Mass.
I wish a happy and holy Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you, Father. A happy and holy Christmas to you and yours, too!
A Holy and Happy Christmas to you as well. Thank you for all that you do.
Felix dies Nativitatis, Father ! May God continue to bless you for your good and necessary work.
Don't know what we'd do without WDTPRS ?!!!
Merry and holy Christmas Fr Z, and everyone!
Worth a click, Fr George Beyers keeps warm on Christmas Eve, as he reverently destroys his retired Sacramentary in his cast iron stove that heats his hermitage on Holy Souls Mountain:
Everybody should read that blog, it's wonderful.
Happy Christmas, Father Z! Prayers and best wishes!
Thank you – and the best to you and all.
Oh, the Advent wreath at top looks really nice.
Thank you Father, I hope you have a holy and Merry Christmas too!
Merry Christmas my fellow WDTPRSers!
A very blessed Christmas to you, Father, and to all reading this!
Felicem diem Nativitatis! Feliz Natal! Buon Natale! Joyeux Noël!
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
"Your Nativity, O Christ our God, has shone to the world the light of wisdom! For by it, those who worshipped the stars, were taught by a star to adore You, the Sun of righteousness, and to know You, the Orient from on high. O Lord, glory to You!" – Troparion for the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Merry Christmas to you, Father Z!
Merry Christmas to Father Z and to all my fellow readers.
Merry Christmas, Father Z! Watched the broadcast of Midnight Mass from Il Vaticano with my youngest this morning (we were up because we were hungry on our 8 month birthday, as she's our little Easter Bunny from this year), and interesting to see the acolytes were from St. John Vianney's out in your neck of the woods. Sure was different to hear a voice other than Cardinal Foley's (RIP). Stupid DVR cut off recording right in the middle of the Canon, though, so I didn't get to see Il Papa place the Child Jesus in the creche this time.
Merry Christmas, Father Z! Please pray for us, we are celebrating our first traditional Latin high mass in our parish. Deo gratias!
Thank YOU, Father! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Fr. Z. & all wdtprs'ers! God bless us, every one.
A joyous and blessed Nativity of Our Lord! In the local parish in Seattle where I am visiting family we were happy to find the formerly awful practices turned vastly for the better with a reverent young priest steering things now and a considerable dose of Latin in their Midnight Mass. I used my Christmas carol experience to carry the bass harmonies to the songs the little choir were doing. Only male acolytes, kneeling for the Credo at mention of the Incarnation, and much else good. We thanked him afterwards and told him "brick by brick", which he seemed to understand–maybe he's a reader of the blog! If it can happen so well here, it can elsewhere–Deo gratias!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to Fr Z and all the readers of this blog!
Holy and Happy Christmas, Father. Don't know what we would do without you.
Merry Christmas Father! Thank you for everything.
A very Holy, happy and Blessed Christmas to you as well Father Z , and to all others on here.
Merry Christmas
A Happy and Holy Christmas to all!
Why Priests Are Happy: A Study of the Psychological and Spiritual Health of Priests, by Stephen J. Rosetti.
From David Crumm's review on Amazon.com:
Why read this book if you're not Catholic? Many of the findings are surprising and are widely applicable to anyone interested in religious life. Here is one example among many. Rossetti asked in detail about each respondent's experience with prayer, then he compared that with other factors in the research project. He found: "Private prayer is directly correlated with improvement in both one's psychic and spiritual health." What's more, as prayer time increases, people are "less emotionally exhausted … less depressed … deal with stress in less dysfunctional ways … are less likely to be obese … are less likely to be lonely … are happier."
Christmas blessings, Father Z, and to all who drop into this watering hole!
May the holy angels keep you, and all travelers safe this Christmas season.
Merry Christmas, Fr. Z. Thank you for all that you do for us.
Merry Christmas Father! And I also thank you.
Merry Christmas, Father Z, and to all of your readers.
I'm a day late-don't have Internet at home, and I'm at the mercy of library and / or bookstore hours to obtain it-so I'm going to say, " A belated 'Mary Christ-Mass' to you, Father Z, and to all fellow readers of WDTPRS!"
And to those readers from 'across the pond', Happy Boxing Day to you!
You may be interested to know that in Ireland, Republic of…, today is St. Stephen's Day and most things, not all, and, of course, not the pubs, are closed. I forgot about this and was glad to find the SuperValu open for bread, cheese, etc. So, greetings to you from across the pond, t'other way.

Ryerson University Case Study
A key priority for Ryerson is to provide consistent access to network applications, which range from a public-facing web site to critical applications such as student registration and learning management. With students, faculty, and staff all vying for the same resources on the network (including as many as 5000 wireless users at any given time), Ryerson needed a way to provide a predictable user experience.

Without a stable, highly available and high performance infrastructure underlying the design, IT will be facing any number of challenges during the deployment and operational phases of your EUC project. This reinforces the reality that infrastructure is very important, but spending a large portion of IT's time on the infrastructure is a black hole. Download whitepaper »
Despite a seemingly continuous stream of enhancements in IT hardware and software, the application challenges faced by datacenter infrastructure teams continue to mount. Most enterprises run a diverse set of business applications. Because each enterprise application has unique requirements for performance, availability, scalability, and management, the IT infrastructure— including virtualization—needed to meet the collective needs of all your applications can be both complex and expensive. And of course IT budgets rarely, if ever, keep pace with increasing business demands. That is why Nutanix has pioneered hyperconvergence and Invisible Infrastructure—a fundamentally different approach to enterprise application needs. Download whitepaper »
The race is on at full speed. What race? The race to bring web-scale economies to a data center near you. Ever since Amazon AWS emerged on the scene, vendors have been furiously engineering solutions to make owned IT infrastructure as cost effective and easy to use as those in the public cloud. Nutanix with its HCI architecture is leading the way in bringing the approach of these large hyper-scale companies to on-premises data centers. Download whitepaper »

"It was a special privilege to honor these farms, which represent the rich legacy of Iowa Agriculture," Northey stated. "Each farm is separate example of the persistence, stewardship, hard work, patience and devotion needed to make a farm work."
The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship has partnered with the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation since 1976 to recognize families that have owned and worked a farm for 100 years or more.
The 2007 Century Farms Program ceremony was held at the Iowa State Fair on Tuesday, Aug. 14.
"The Iowa State Fair is a celebration of Iowa and Iowa Agriculture, so it was very fitting that we were able to recognize the Century Farm recipients there," Northey said. "The program acknowledges the deep roots Iowans have with their families and the special bond that exists between Iowa families and the land they farm."

Jet's Pizza JenisonRead MoreNo two pizzas are created alike, but most of them look about the same. Not so at Jet's Pizza, a pick-up and delivery-only establishment created in 1978 by brothers Eugene and John Jett—their signature pie layers tomato or barbecue sauce and melted mozzarella cheese within the crispy, brown right angles of a deep-dish square crust. But the crust's charms don't end there; diners can "flavorize" it for free with seasonings such as shredded parmesan or the Turbo Crust, a blend of butter, garlic, and romano. These extras are what make Jet's pizzas special; John Jett says "If you're eating one of our pizzas and you don't have a smile on your face, then something is wrong." In addition to pies, Jet's serves four flavors of chicken wings, subs, and breadsticks at locations spread across 13 states and two extrasolar planets.664 Baldwin St.Jenison, MI US

Department yet to decide on US-VISIT air exit system
The Homeland Security Department is still undecided about a program that would electronically collect fingerprints from visitors from other countries when they leave the United States by aircraft, a senior DHS official said today.
Robert Mocny, who heads the department's U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program, said in an interview that the department is still weighing an exit portion of the biometric security program. US-VISIT already collects fingerprints from non-U.S. visitors when they
arrive in the United States.
Mocny said tests his office has done for the exit program have shown that an air exit portion of US-VISIT is feasible technologically and procedurally. However, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano must weigh costs and other considerations in making a decision on pursuing the program that could have an overall cost to government and industry of between $3 billion and $9 billion over 10 years, he said.
"There's a dollar figure that goes from the least expensive to the most expensive and that's what [Napolitano] is weighing," he said. Mocny said if the program is put in place in a way that cuts down the number of kiosks needed, the overall cost could dip below $3 billion.
In 2004, the commission that investigated the 2001 terrorist attacks recommended using a biometrics-based system. However, progress on the biometrics-based exit system has been slow. In 2007, Congress gave DHS a deadline of June 30, 2009, to put in place the biometrics-based exit system. DHS missed that requirement, and as a result lost authority to add some countries to government's Visa Waiver Program.

Exit system for foreign travelers stands at a crossroads
Advocates of such a system say it would boost immigration controls and could bolster counterterrorism efforts, while critics question whether the benefits are worth the cost.
The George W. Bush administration proposed requiring commercial air carriers to collect exit information at airports, but the plan stalled after it met resistance from the airline industry and some foreign governments. Although the proposal to have airlines collect the data hasn't been formally scrapped, DHS under the Obama administration may be heading in a different direction.
In response to a request from lawmakers, in 2009 the US-VISIT office tested scenarios under which the Transportation Security Administration and Customs and Border Protection agency collected fingerprints from non-citizens departing from U.S. airports.
Mocny said those tests showed that the government could collect the biometrics without disruptions to processes at the airports. He said earlier tests showed the collection was technologically feasible. Mocny said DHS now has enough information on how the program would work in different situations.

"Joe Craig has been permanently dismissed from the Clemson football team for a violation of team rules," coach Dabo Swinney said in a prepared statement. "We wish him the best as he continues his academic and athletic career."
