13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Major: Theatre Arts
Activities: Hawaiian Islanders Club, Whittier College Choir
What first attracted you to Whittier College? I was first attracted to Whittier College when I told my high school career counselor that I wanted to go to school out West and pursue acting. She connected me with a Whittier admission counselor who visited my school in Minnesota. I went out to visit Whittier and its theatre department and immediately fell in love. I mean, it's California! At 18 years old and with the dream of becoming an actor, where else would you go?
Why did you choose to study theatre? I knew I wanted to become a professional actor when I was 15 years old and on stage for the first time in the musical Grease. Dad taught me Polynesian dances when I was six years old and Mom made me sing in church. All the facets of performance—music, dance, and storytelling—were instilled in me from the beginning of my childhood. My brother and I would perform at family functions, weddings, summer camps, and Christmas parties. Theatre is an environment where stories can be told passionately and where audience members are taken for a journey. I can't live without it, and if I was going to do this acting thing, I knew that I wanted to be the best at what I do. Education in the arts was my answer. It was the only way.
Describe your most memorable experience at Whittier College. My most memorable experience at Whittier came the beginning of my senior year when I participated in the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival (KC/ACTF) Regional Competition in Utah. It was not only monumental for me but for the theatre department itself since it had been 30 years since we made a significant impact in the competition. Let me put it this way: no one had heard of Whittier when I got there. But afterwards, the school's name was mentioned at the finals when I took fourth place amongst hundreds of talented artists in the Western region (eight states were involved). I was the highest placed undergraduate and that was my proudest moment alongside my Professors Gil Gonzalez, Jennifer Holmes, Katie Liddicoat, Brian Reed and my scene partner, Cody Goulder.
Who was your favorite professor(s)? My favorite class and professor at Whittier was "Modern Latin America" with Professor Jose Orozco. This class took me by surprise in how fast it moved and its conversational atmosphere. Orozco was a professor that spoke the same way in the classroom as he did when he sat me down in his office. I was drawn to this as an actor because he was being real with me and he was telling me what I needed to hear to improve as a student. I believe the best teachers out there are looking out for your best interests by telling you what you need to hear as opposed to what you want to hear.
Did you intern while at Whittier College? Where, and what was that experience like? The summer going into my senior year, I had an acting apprenticeship at Cal Lutheran University with a theatre company called Kingsmen Shakespeare. They do two outdoor Shakespeare productions every summer, in which the same actors do both shows. Every day, I built sets from 9am-5pm, had dinner from 5pm-6pm, and then rehearsed for our shows from 6pm-11pm, with just one day off a week. The director of the program saw me in a production of Othello at Whittier and wanted me to come and understudy for the roles of Othello and Oberon (their second production that summer was A Midsummer Night's Dream). It was the hardest working summer of my life and there was little to no pay, but it was one of the most memorable things I've ever done in my life. It's been seven years since then, and this summer, I made a return to do another set of shows with Kingsmen Shakespeare. I played Caliban in The Tempest and Horatio in Hamlet.
What are you currently up to? How has your Whittier education benefited you professionally? So all actors need a day job and right now I give VIP tours at Universal Studios Hollywood. Thanks to Whittier, I gained a number of personal and professional relationships as an undergrad. Professor Gil Gonzalez introduced me to the MFA program I graduated from in 2011. Since then, I've successfully joined the SAG-AFTRA Union and have been a co-star on two highly-acclaimed primetime television shows, CSI: NY and Hawaii Five-0. One relationship always leads to another.
As of August 2013, I am now a part-time adjunct faculty at Santa Ana College teaching "Intro to Theatre." I got this job through an alumnus of my graduate school, the University of Virginia, who was a classmate of my Whittier theatre professors, Professors Gil Gonzalez and Kattie Liddicoat. I'm already signed up for next semester to teach an "Introduction to Theatre" course and an "Intro to Acting" course as well. I am extremely happy for a new beginning where I can use the tools that I learned from being a student at Whittier. I am taking actor Jon Hamm's route, where he taught theatre and pursued acting at the same time. For the first time in my life, the path of my career is slowly starting to take form thanks to the establishments and connections that started at Whittier College.
What advice would you give to future theatre alumni when they graduate? Always seize opportunities when they present themselves. College prepares you for the real world, but know that life is tough and you're going to make all the right decisions after you've made all the wrong ones. Don't ever forget those who impacted your life through college, those that have made sacrifices and have helped you get through it. Keep them close to your heart because I really believe that no one can do it alone.
Finish this sentence: I am a 'Poet for Life' because… I will never forget where I came from and the people that brought me here!

About the Authors: Steve Garrett and Bill Behn serve as Senior Science Advisors in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs and Phil Hopke serves in the Bureau of Intelligence and Research.
A joint Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) - U.S. Next-Generation Cook Stove Workshop was held from November 16 to 20 in Bangkok, Thailand to consider advances in cook stove science and technology, laboratory testing and field monitoring, and business and program models. The workshop was funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of East Asia and Pacific Affairs' Office of Regional Security and Policy (EAP/RSP), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Air Force Research Office. USAID, The Pennsylvania State University, the University of California Berkeley, Clarkson University and the Asian Institute of Technology assisted in organizing the event. A Research Road Map will be developed based on the workshop's presentations and discussions. The Road Map will be used to guide the effort to improve cook stoves in a way that would lead to steady-state production and dissemination of 100,000,000 stoves per year.
Although traditional cook stoves do not comprise a large part of global energy demand, they are responsible for more ill-health than any other category of energy use globally -- far exceeding that from vehicles and power plants combined. These adverse health effects are produced by the combination of highly inefficient combustion, producing unhealthy emissions, and high exposure per unit emissions because of the proximity of the users to the source. In addition, many of these same products of incomplete combustion, which include methane, ozone-precursors, and black carbon (soot), are important greenhouse pollutants, thus making such devices the most greenhouse-intensive fuel systems in the world per unit energy delivered. The poor combustion and heat-transfer of traditional technologies also leads to unnecessary waste of the primary fuel supplies, largely wood and crop residues.

Program: Independent Lens "Chicago 10"
Date: Wednesday, Oct. 22
Time: 8 p.m.
"Chicago 10" is a stylized, innovative approach that gives contemporary history a forced perspective. Writer and director Brett Morgen (The Kid Stays in the Picture) boldly mixes original animation with extraordinary archival footage to explore the buildup to and unraveling of the infamous conspiracy trial of the Chicago Seven. Set to the music of revolution then and now, "Chicago 10" is a parable of hope, courage and challenge as it portrays the struggle of young Americans attempting to confront an oppressive and armed government — their own.

These knives are a major improvement in the old standard no. 1 knife handle. The slightly soft vinyl covering acts as a cushion against your fingers and gives you a sure no-slip grip. The knurled, partially hex shaped blade release at the back end makes blade changes easier, quicker, safer and prevents rolling. Available in 4 colors so you can identify blade style even if you store your knives with the blade end down.

Food Habits
Young great white sharks typically feed on smaller species such as squid and stingrays, as well as other small sharks (McGrouther, 2008). As these fish mature their appetites change. The diet of adults consists primarily of phocidae, otariidae, Delphinidae, and Cetacea carcasses (McGrouther, 2008). One of the most frequent prey animals of great white sharks are mirounga (MarineBio, 2009). Sometimes they feed on turtles and various sea birds (McGrouther, 2008). Great white sharks may attack with different strategies depending on the size of their prey. The most common attack method used by great white sharks involves the shark positioning itself directly below its prey and then swimming vertically into an attack (MarineBio, 2009). These sharks collide into their prey and then bite them. Prey often die from blood loss, decapitation or severance of vital appendages such as fins. Great white sharks have been reported to attack humans but there have been as few as 311 verified deaths from great white shark attacks (Burnie and Wilson, 2001). ("Great White Shark: Predator of the Deep", 2008; "MarineBio", 2009; Burnie and Wilson, 2001; McGrouther, 2008)

Throughout the month of March staff at the U.S. Consulate General in Juba joined celebrations throughout Southern Sudan for International Women's Month, highlighting women and girls who are building their country's future. While we worked to bring extra attention to these issues during International Women's Month, women and girls are at the forefront of U.S. diplomacy and development efforts here year-round. The U.S. Agency for Development (USAID) focuses on empowering women and girls and mainstreaming gender concerns into all of their programming, and will continue dedicated efforts to promote access to education for girls, improve maternal health, and support women's political and economic participation at all levels in Southern Sudan. As President Obama said in his remarks this month: "Empowering women across the globe is not simply the right thing to do, it is also smart foreign policy. Countries are more peaceful and prosperous when women enjoy equal rights, equal voices, and equal opportunities." The women of Southern Sudan are proving this every day.
In Juba, on International Women's Day, March 8, consulate staff members marched from John Garang's mausoleum to the Cultural Center with over 100 women, men and young people, including women police officers, church groups, and cultural organizations. Dr. Garang's mausoleum was a fitting place to start the event, given his recognition of women as "the marginalized of the marginalized," and his commitment to women's political participation in rebuilding Sudan. The heat did not dampen our group's enthusiasm as we marched through Juba, drawing cheers and thumbs-up signs from passersby, especially women. We were happy to join in with the singing and dancing and even went so far as to attempt some ululating at the Cultural Center. Acting Consul General Roger Moran delivered remarks on behalf of the United States. The Vice President of Southern Sudan, along with the Minister of Gender, Minister of Education, and the Chairperson of the South Sudan Human Rights Commission (SSHRC) all spoke, highlighting the role of women in Southern Sudan's past, present and future, including their vital work in securing the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, and their ongoing participation in post-referendum negotiations.
Indeed, when Gender Minister Agnes Lasuba reminded the audience that women registered to vote for the referendum in record numbers and represented 52 percent of voter turnout, the crowd cheered enthusiastically. And when the SSHRC Chair declared: "Women's rights are human rights!" everyone got to their feet and cheered even louder. Participants also stressed the need to promote equal access to education for girls, eliminate practices like early marriage and bride price, and to ensure women are represented at every level of government.
In Wau, in Western Bahr el Ghazal State, Consulate Juba's stabilization team members also joined local women's organizations, girl scouts, women police officers, the State Governor and other officials to celebrate International Women's Day, marching proudly through the town. And in Nimule, in Eastern Equatoria State, I joined yet another stabilization team to speak at a similar event. A lively youth group performed a dramatic piece about gender-based violence before a captivated crowd, addressing themes including domestic violence, access to justice, and women's right to own property. Boys and girls, as well as their teachers, parents, and grandparents, cheered when the heroine received justice and saw her abusive husband jailed.
These were just two examples of the tremendous potential of women to shape this new country. Last week I spent a day with representatives of the local Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugee's (UNHCR) speaking with women and girls in Rumbek (John Garang's hometown) who had returned to Southern Sudan from Khartoum. One teenager echoed the feelings of the whole group when she told me, "Even though it is hard starting over, we want to stay, because this is our home. We want to go school, and help others learn." They want to continue their education, and have the freedom to choose their future -- including when and who to marry -- and the opportunity to build their country. Later that week, in the town of Akobo near the border with Ethiopia, a group of women leaders met with USAID colleagues and told us about their hopes for the future, their entrepreneurial spirit evident. One woman described her commitment to mentoring younger girls: "We want to train them to become leaders like us."
Generations of women and girls have spoken with one voice this month, joined by fathers, sons, brothers and friends expressing solidarity and support. We're proud to stand with all of them.

I have highlighted my hair for years. It has become dry and it entangles easily. I have dozens of conditioners in my showers, but nothing ever met my expectations like this conditioner. My hair feels like silk! It was also so easy to detangled my hair when I got our of the shower that it left me amazed :). Please always provide this conditoner on iherb! forever :). I just wish this conditoner would come in the 32oz size like the other conditioner and shampoo from this line....
Posted by HildeK on Jun 24, 2012
Near no scent, creamy texture, and leaves my hair really soft. Expensive, but I will buy it again for occasional use when my hair is "tired" or when I have recently dyed it with henna.
Love It! Finally!

I first had a sample of this from health food store. I bought it and it makes my hair feel and look great. Keeps hair color shiny.
Love this conditioner!
Posted by Reviewer1438643 on Aug 17, 2013
This conditioner is excellent. It makes my frizzy hair more manageable and detangles as well. The smell is simply lovely and hair feels soft immediately when you rinse it out. A good product though a bit pricey for such a small bottle.
Not the cheapest, but certainly among the best.

Ni siquiera las mascarillas que prometían ser ultra-hidratantes me dejan el pelo como este acondicionador. Me gusta tanto que cuando acabé el primer bote pedí otros tres por si acaso... Tiene una especie de granulos pequeños, es muy denso y deja el pelo muy hidratado y suave. Yo le declaro amor eterno.

Nokia Needs Lumia 920 to Shine
For Nokia, I'd like to think that the company can revive its fortunes with its new phone, but it's hard to discuss the prospects of the Lumia 920 without first considering its predecessor, the Lumia 900 -- particularly for how the company botched the launch. After getting its tail kicked by Research in Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry, which then gave way to Apple's iPhone, Nokia needed a spark.
Enter the Lumia 900, a device billed as Nokia's "corner-turning" product and its first phone launched in partnership with Microsoft. It was supposed to be the company's "saving grace."
Except it was launched on Easter, April 8 on this year! Yes, the holiday that all but guaranteed that a significant portion of stores would be closed. It was remarkable how two prominent companies in Nokia and Microsoft could have gotten something so important, so incredibly wrong.
What made Nokia's gaff so eye-opening was that the company was already playing catch-up to not only Apple, but also Samsung and could ill-afford such unforced errors -- particularly as Apple was executing flawlessly. Nokia has lost close to 80% of its value during the course of the past five years after having once enjoyed almost 50% of the global smartphone revenue.
Today as the company is fighting for its life, it is still burning through cash like nobody's business. What's more, its issues have been compounded by the fact that neither Apple nor Samsung have made enough mistakes to present it with an opening. Fumbling the ball as it did with the Lumia 900 does not inspire confidence that it can get the 920 right. But does it deserve a second chance?
Early Reviews Are Mixed
There is plenty to like with the Lumia 920. For example, it sports a screen sensitive enough that it can be used while wearing a glove -- I think that's pretty impressive, even if you don't live in northern states where it's cold. Also noteworthy is the phone's wireless charging support. The phone is by far the best on the Windows platform. It's powerful and feature rich. However, at the same time I do wonder about what looks like a considerable amount of excess.
For instance, it's unnecessarily heavy -- weighing 6.5 ounces, or twice as heavy as the iPhone 5.Also the Lumia 920 is taller and wider than the 900. While this helps slightly from the standpoint of an increased screen size, one loses the convenience of storage. For pockets, I would have to wear much looser pants. On the other hand, my wife may not have a problem if she elects to carry it in her purse -- although she'll develop some shoulder strength, albeit an unintended consequence.

High School DxD
Best Date Ever!
Clip | TV-MA
A war between heaven and hell is raging on Earth – and a hot mess of hormonal fury is raging in Issei's pants. The guy is dying to get some action. Which is funny, since his first date ever turns into a winged monster and tries to kill him. Fortunately, ridiculously curvy redhead Rias comes to his rescue. She's president of The Occult Research Club, a club that doesn't actually research the occult. They are the occult – and Rias is a Devil. She takes Issei as a more-than-willing slave and begins training him to use magic in battle against the Fallen Angels, the longtime enemies of Devils everywhere.

UNC Field Hockey's Loren Shealy a finalist for Sports Illustrated honor
UNC Field Hockey's Loren Shealy a finalist for Sports Illustrated honor
Shealy is one of 10 nominess for SI's College Athlete of the Year award
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Loren Shealy, a rising junior on the North Carolina field hockey team, is one of five female finalists for the 2013 Sports Illustrated College Athlete of the Year Award. Five male and five female finalists were announced Wednesday, and the winners will be featured an upcoming issue of SI, which hits newsstands on May 22. Winners also will be featured on SI.com.
The award celebrates one female and one male collegiate student-athlete who have demonstrated excellent performance on the field and in the classroom, sportsmanship and commitment to community.
Shealy, a forward from Charlotte, N.C., is a two-year letterwinner for the Tar Heels and has helped Carolina to two Atlantic Coast Conference titles and two NCAA runner-up finishes. In 2012, she ranked second on the team with 16 goals, was third in points, and earned All-ACC Tournament honors after scoring two goals in the league championship game. She is the first UNC student-athlete to be part of the prestigious Robertson Scholars program, in which she takes classes at both Carolina and Duke. A business administration major, she has earned Dean's List and ACC Academic Honor roll recognition each year at UNC. In 2012, she was named to the All-ACC Academic Team and was honored as a Scholar of Distinction by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association, recognizing players with GPAs of 3.9 or better during the fall semester.

Capitol Steps
West Palm Beach | Website
This event occurred in the past.
There's something funny going on in Washington, D.C., and this group is going to prove it. Feeding off the latest corporate scandals and Washington high jinks, Capitol Steps is billed as the only group in America funnier than Congress. The updated show is an invitation to a political party, as the cast from both sides of the political aisle presents sketches and parody songs based on current events. The touring satirical troupe is made up of former and current Congressional staffers who skewer Democrats and Republicans with equal fervor. The Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people that employed them. Now the Washington insiders stab gleefully with their verbal swords, mixing skits and songs in their fast-paced revue.

Please note: It was brought to my attention that this was a repeat of an argument that I already posted on this blog earlier. I have decided to leave it up because the argument is more fleshed out than it used to be. See the comments section for a link to the first time I posted it.
One of the more interesting, but frustrating discussions I had online recently was on the first cause argument. The fellow with whom I had this discussion has a good scientific mind and frequently denounces creationism very eloquently. I don't know eactly what his beliefs are, but I think I would characterize him as an agnostic theist. He appears to believe in a God, doesn't claim that he can know for sure, but frequently insists that carefully qualified belief is a superior alternative to qualified non-belief.
The reasoning, as I understand it, goes like this: We don't know where the universe comes from. But we do know from experience that intelligent agents can create many wonderful and complex things. We can't be certain that the universe was created by an intelligence. But we do know that it's POSSIBLE in principle. Therefore, doesn't it make sense, purely from a scientific, deductive point of view, to take seriously the hypothesis that intelligence was probably involved?
So I have a counter-proposal, and it's this. Emperor Yu the Great, who founded the Chinese Xia dynasty around 2070 BCE, was killed by a machine gun.
Now you may say that this is implausible. You may even complain: "But that's ridiculous. There weren't any machine guns in 2070 BCE." To which I say, no, that's just your opinion. You weren't there in ancient China, and the historical records from that far back are kind of spotty anyway. But I say it is worth seriously considering the hypothesis that there was a machine gun that killed Emperor Wu, even though we're not aware of any that exist.
Why? Well, it is much easier to kill someone with a machine gun than without one. Wikipedia's description of his death is pretty vague, saying only that he was killed "while on a hunting tour." Well, there's another point in my favor. We know today that many people hunt with machine guns, and that machine guns actually make a hunt much EASIER than being without one.
So, if there is even a small chance that some machine guns were present, then shouldn't we deduce that the use of one on Yu's hunting trip is extremely probable, and his subsequent "accident" was in fact machine gun induced? Why should we rule out the existence of something as complex as a machine gun, which can supply such a handy explanation for Emperor Yu's death, just because of nitpicky details like incomplete historical knowledge?
Yeah, I'm not particularly persuaded by my own argument either, but I think it's no more egregious than the logic that is applied to some unspecified intelligent creator.
I mean, in the first place, all of our experience with machine guns shows that they don't just existence at random. They are the end result of a extensive tinkering with progressively more sophisticated designs. There is a historical progression of technology that we can follow. These technological changes are based purely in physical laws and processes. Humans don't pluck designs out of some magic supernatural ether; they build on past successes over time. We have never seen an example of a machine gun that didn't require the historical development of a machine gun.
Well, we know much the same thing about brains. We have seen the historical record of brains coming into existence; we know that they come about as the end product of highly complex natural processes. We have never seen a brain that didn't require such a thing. No magic. No anachronisms. No human brains appearing out of place during the Cambrian explosion. No signs of brains that are as smart or smarter than ours during times when plants or bacteria were the dominant life forms on earth.
Is it possible to imagine a magical brain that exists outside of earth and didn't require an evolutionary process? Sure it is, and by the same token, it's possible for a fully formed machine gun to have spontaneously appeared in the hands of Emperor Yu's enemies, without the need for all that messy "historical progression of technology" to get in the way. I can't prove that didn't happen, nor can I prove that there isn't a superbrain that didn't evolve.
But I don't find it a plausible assumption in either case. If you don't like the logic of having a machine gun in 2000 BC, then I think I'm free to raise the same objection to having a brain in 14 billion BC.
You can't just assume the existence of things like guns or minds at all periods in history for the sake of convenience. You are only justified in treating this as a reasonable suggestion when some other information specifically points to even the basic possibility of such a thing. And that's what we mean when we say "We don't believe in God because we lack evidence." It isn't enough to say "How else could these wonderful things have gotten here, if not through intelligence?"

How To Tuesday: Milking It
Because there is absolutely no point in blowing out your locks during rain shower season (as my hair in this video can attest), it's best to have a fallback updo that's both stylish and easy to do when in an early morning rush. The ultimate way to fight frizz beyond a buzz cut or toxic Brazilian potions basically comes down to braiding. We've already learned how to French braid and fishtail braid (twice), so in order to take it to the next level, today I'll teach you how to emulate farmhands and famous twins with the "milk maid braid." (**Extra credit points for incorporating a fishtail into this style).

'A giant of a man'
ESCANABA – "We lost a giant of a man."
That comment from Ken Hofer sums up the reaction expressed following the death of Jerry Cvengros. Cvengros, 80, died Monday evening in Lansing. The native of Ironwood spent 30 years as a coach and administrator at Escanaba Area High School before joining the Michigan High School Athletic Association as associate director in 1988.
Cvengros, who retired in 2001, lived in Okemos with his wife Shelley. Funeral services will be held Monday at St. Martha's Church in Okemos, with visitation at 10 a.m. and Mass at 11.
Hofer, the ultra successful football coach at Menominee High School, was a roommate with Cvengros for one semester at the University of Wisconsin. He still has a photo of the two Badger football teammates on a scale, Hofer as the team's smallest player and Cvengros as the biggest.
Cvengros and Hofer are members of the U.P. Sports Hall of Fame and were legendary coaching rivals during three decades. The two schools have a fierce but friendly rivalry that expanded with the personal connection, providing highly intense, competitive contests.
"We were tremendous competitors, but once the game was over we had a big hug and shook hands," recalled Hofer Tuesday. "There is no question we wanted to win just as much as the other one did. It (friendship) inspired me to go the extra mile if I could."
Hofer recalled losing 13-8 decisions to Esky in consecutive years, including 1981 when the Eskymos won the Class A state championship. The Maroons then won 24-6 in 1982, Escanaba's lone loss that prevented a chance to defend the state title.
Cvengros was 161-42-3 as the Esky coach from 1962-84, including a state runner-up finish in 1979. He was U.P. coach of the year four times and Associated Press Class A state coach of the year in 1979 and 1981.
Dan Flynn, who joined the EHS staff in 1972 and succeeded Cvengros as head coach in 1985-2012, said he lost a "very good friend" and that the football field was his classroom.
"He coached coaches. He taught us how to take care of our job and how to do our job," said Flynn. "He did not make an issue of small things. He made an issue of important things. He treated people with respect.
"He showed us how to work on respect, work on integrity, work on your work ethic. That was the message. Respect is an every day thing. Integrity and dignity are every day things."
Flynn said solid preparation was a key to success for Cvengros, both in football and as administrator. He was athletic director from 1970-83, added activities director duties in 1975, and was principal from 1983-88.
Getting athletes to adapt and adjust in game situations was his coaching strength, said Flynn. "He prepared very well."
Flynn said a notable game under Cvengros was the Class A playoff opener against Grand Blanc in 1979, the school's first postseason appearance under a playoff format that began in 1975. Esky trailed 21-0 and Flynn recalled "we looked at each other on the sideline and thought maybe we don't belong here. But we were not giving up. We got more aggressive and stayed patient with the kids.
"That was a big moment in our program. We came back and won (36-35) because no one panicked. We kept our cool."
Tight end-linebacker Jeff Nault, an all-state selection on that team and a future University of Wisconsin tight end, also recalled that challenging position against Grand Blanc.
"Jerry stepped into our huddle and said 'we're gonna get them, we're going to stop them and we're going to score.' He had that quiet confidence, that presence of always standing tall," said Nault. "It was purely a mind trick, but he talked us into it."
Nault recalled visiting Madison with Cvengros and several other Esky people that fall, and meeting Dave McClain, the late Badgers' coach. "He is talking to me, an 18-year-old kid, then he talks just as easily with Coach McClain. He could talk to anybody and make friends with everybody.
"He was one of the biggest influences in my life, and a mentor in my life, behind my father (Tom). How many people do you think he shaped in Escanaba? Thousands of them."
Nault, who coached football at Hortonville, Wis. and Neenah, Wis. in recent years, said Cvengros served as his role model. "He was a man we were all lucky to have him cross our path," said Nault, now a guidance counsellor at Hortonville.
Former major league baseball pitcher Kevin Tapani, who was quarterback of that state title team, also benefitted from playing for Cvengros.
"He always gave off confidence because he knew what he wanted to do," Tapani said. "He was a better person than he was a coach. He was really interested in his players. He put guys in position where they had a chance to be successful. That gives players confidence when you have that type of presence."
Tapani, who played under numerous coaches at Central Michigan University, in the minor league and with five MLB teams, learned to appreciate what Cvengros provided. "He served as a mentor, not just a coach," said Tapani, who is now a high school baseball coach in Wayzata, Minn.
Dean Altobelli, an all-state running back on that title team who became a four-year football letterman at Michigan State University, also saw the benefits of playing for Cvengros, whose family lived across the alley from the Altobellis when Dean was a youngster.
"We were all so fortunate to play for Jerry," said Altobelli. "Jerry cared about his players and about the people in his program. He understood the importance of coming together as a team."
Altobelli said he grew to trust Cvengros as a valued mentor, noting he visited Cvengros and his wife Shelley the night before deciding to accept the MSU scholarship offer.
"I trusted his input. He was someone I could always trust and count on," said Altobelli, noting Cvengros had a big impact on his entire family, which included three brothers who also played football for the Eskymos. "We've always been able to depend on Jerry.
"Jerry had a spirit of goodness. It was never about him, it was about his players, how they could develop. He did it in a first-class way. He positively affected each of the players who played for him."
Jim Hansen and John Mileski played for Cvengros in his first decade, with Hansen later joining Cvengros on the administrative team at EHS before succeeding him as principal in 1988. Mileski went on to be head football coach at Gladstone High School, after serving as an assistant against Cvengros and Esky.
Hansen said "my success, if I had any, can be attributed to following his lead. If there was anybody I could emulate, Jerry Cvengros is the type of person you want to emulate."
Hansen said he probably would have joined the U.S. Navy out of high school, but Cvengros helped steer him to college. "He showed me there was a lot more to life than the Navy or a construction job. Without his direction, I probably would never have gone to college and have the lifestyle we have now."
Despite being a head coach and administrator, positions that can lead some to rebel against authority, Hansen said Cvengros "never had an enemy, never made an enemy. He never forgot where he came from. It didn't matter who you were."
Mileski said he frequently met with Cvengros to discuss coaching and life in general after becoming Gladstone's head coach in 1985.
"He was more than a coach to me, he was almost like a second father," said Mileski. "He was a mentor to me, a friend. He was always honest with me. I relied on him an awful lot."
Mileski was on the 1967 team that became the first in school history to win all nine games. "We didn't know we had a good team, we thought we just had a bunch of tough kids. But he knew what we had and we took it one game at a time."
Mileski said the team began realizing its potential after beating top-ranked Alpena 26-0, and then later beating U.P. poll leader Kingsford 34-0. "It was a really special year," said Mileski.
"He hadn't had a lot of success before that, but that year really catapaulted his career."
Harold Johnson, who served on Cvengros' first football staff and was also EHS varsity boys basketball coach and later school principal, said "Jerry knew what kids needed to be pushed and which kids to coddle. To get the most out of people, you have to understand people, you have to know people, and he had an ability to do that."
Cvengros, who always made it a point to include associates in a variety of social activities, also impressed fellow EHS adminstrator Bob Koski, who noted how he kept athletics and administrative duties in perspective.
"He was a very humble, open, nurturing guy," said Koski, also an Ironwood native. "He was a great communicator. He not only challenged himself but those around him."
Cvengros left Escanaba in 1988 to join the Michigan High School Athletic Association as associate director, retiring in 2001. He was instrumental in creating the current football playoff format that expanded from 128 teams to 256 teams in 1999. He received numerous state and national awards during his tenure in East Lansing.
MHSAA executive director Jack Roberts, in a news release Tuesday, noted Cvengros' importance as coach, athletic director and principal. Roberts said "he was the perfect combination of fairness, toughness and diplomacy, able to draw on his vast knowledge of MHSAA rules and an understanding of educational athletics, fostered by his own various experiences.
"…his contributions have had a lasting impact."
Hofer also noted that impact, adding "he was a great ambassador for the U.P. and the state. The state of Michigan lost an advocate for youth sports. It was nice to have somebody looking over our problems up here. He understood them."
Cvengros is survived by his wife and sons Michael, Steve and David. He was preceded in death by a daughter, Lee Ann, and his brother Pat, who is also a UPSHF inductee.

This Friday afternoon is the start of summer, which should make me very happy: BBQ dinners, ice cream trucks, really stupid TV shows that the networks are too embarrassed to run during the regular season. Summer ... you can't say it without smiling.
For most of my life, summer meant vacation. I would go to JCC day camp and sing songs and make lanyard key chains and learn dances and sit around a big circle at Shabbat. Then when camp was over, I would visit my family in California and we'd go to Disneyland and to the beach and have a great two weeks before school started.
From the time I turned 16 through when I graduated from college, summer meant a job —everywhere from Sportmart to the Disneyland College Program to an internship at a newspaper, with a vacation right before returning to school, sometimes.
When I graduated from college and moved to California, summer meant a job with more sun during my commute.
Now that I am married, summer means two of us in jobs with more sun during our commutes.
Notice a pattern?
As two adults without children, taking a summer vacation is not only difficult - it is expensive. Hotel prices, airline prices, gas prices - everything is higher in the summer, not to mention the crowds.
However, just because we can't take a summer vacation, doesn't mean we can't take a vacation.
Now, instead of June being our favorite month - it is May and October (the two months in which we've been taking our vacations). October is perfect - the days are cool and it is after the insanity of the High Holidays. May is perfect - the days are a little warmer and the kids aren't out of school yet.
My husband and I are fortunate people who can afford to cruise. We know others are not as lucky and, because of high gas prices, can pretty much only enjoy a "Married With Children" vacation (where Al stays at home on the couch and his family can't talk to him for a week because he's on "vacation"):
Bud, you know that I'm just sitting here on the couch and I know that I'm just sitting here on the couch, but you see, the rest of the days of the year, I'm selling shoes. Ladies' shoes. Fat ladies. Very, very, fat ladies. And what does fat do best? Fat sweats. So after selling fat sweat all year, one needs a little vacation. Besides if I didn't think that I was having a good time, I might just run amok and destroy everything and everyone I see.
This October, we are cruising in the Caribbean onboard the Disney Magic for our one-year anniversary. Since it is off-season, we found a great price for the cruise and the hotel at Walt Disney World the night before. We were even able to upgrade to first class using less miles as it is considered "off peak."
Less crowds, less cost ... a possible hurricane, but hey - we live in earthquake country, so who am I to complain?
Everyone else can look forward to a summer vacation -we're counting down the days till fall. Three months and counting…

Blogging during the staff meeting?
January 2, 2008Add new comment | Filed under: being a team player, bill evans, broadcasts, chomping at the bit, eliane elias, Jazz Alive, Jazz Education, jazz show, left hand, midday, music, toronto
This is the most painful part of being a team player. The monthly "all-staff meeting." Most of us are chomping at the bit to get back to the tons of work we have to do but acknowledge that it's important for the right hand to know what the left hand is doing. There's useful information exchanged here, for the most part. Upcoming stuff includes our broadcasts of Rhonda Hamilton's Midday Jazz Show from the International Association for Jazz Education in Toronto (Jan. 9-12) and Eliane Elias plays the music of Bill Evans live from J&R Music, Park Row, on January 19. Our winter fund drive is scheduled to begin January 30.
Other stuff upcoming: Our next Newark Today broadcast will feature a return visit from Police Director Garry McCarthy. That's on January 10, 8 p.m. A call-in show with Newark's departing schools superintendent, January 31, 8 p.m. This'll be a rare opportunity to hear from (and to talk to) Marion Bolden, a 40-year veteran of the Newark public school system. There was more stuff happening but I was posting these blog comments and I missed it, so ... David Cruz

we should have looked at the ingredients and not the reviews
Posted by Reviewer2850189 on Dec 13, 2011
I got this for my wife; This multi vitamin is a typical average mulitvitamin that is well marketed but is nothing special. I can already get better multivitamins than this in the United Kingdom so it was not worth importing. I was disappointed to find that it had the typical multivitamin stench and I had typical yellow urine that lasts all day inidicating a product that is not readiliy absorbed by the body. The vitamin C for example is ascorbic acid which is one of the cheaper forms of vitamin C by contract Solgar a popular brand is found as niacinamide ascorbate, L-ascorbic acid which is far more readily absorbed. the Zinc is again disappointing in that it is not even chelated, it is zinc citrate, by contrast the Solgar brand zinc is chelated and is far more readily absorbed. I don't take the Solgar brand which is a good multi vitamin as I find that it too, whilst better quality still results in yellow urine which over long term use could put strain on my kidneys. In the past I have taken New Chapters Whole Food based multivitamin and I will be returning to it since the yellowing of the urine is very mild and being whole food based from fermented cultures, it actually smells good. The truth is that I bought the rainbow light product because it described itself as "food based", I was mislead and have now learnt that "whole food" is very different from "food based". Yes New Chapter is double the price, but when it comes to my long term health, I am willing to spend the extra $20. I am tempted to give it two stars for being disappointed from my expectations, but to be fair to the product itself i give it three stars for an average product.
easy to take, but smells awful
Posted by Reviewer3180202 on Oct 03, 2012
Just one tablet per day, which is very convenient, but (personally) it smells and tastes quite off. It just didn't work for me.
bit hard to swallow
Posted by Reviewer1033836 on Feb 23, 2009
i assume these are just as good as other multis, if not better. i can't really tell a difference yet. But the only thing i have noticed is how hard they are to swallow. i can usually swallow 2+ pills at a time, and i almost choke every time i have to take a of these. i wish they could coat them...i probably won't order them again. :(
Not so good taste
Posted by Reviewer1534316 on Mar 09, 2010
Has everything you could need , but the taste is not so awesome. Actually the taste is quite bad.

Posted by Reviewer1692388 on Jun 16, 2010
I really liked the idea of the good amount of each of the vitamins and minerals but there is too much of the vitamin B's for my system. I became very moody and aggressive taking one every day. Now I take one every other day.
Not bad

Not bad vitamins
Can't swallow

My 16-year-old daughter isn't able to swallow these so I will take them myself when I run out my others.
Posted by Reviewer1157143 on Aug 12, 2008
Great composition, but makes me nauseous
Posted by Reviewer1314387 on Apr 19, 2010
This vitamin is great in that it's got high levels of most vitamins and minerals in one tablet a day, but unfortunately it does upset my stomach (makes me nauseous) even when taken with a large meal. I have to break the tablets in half and take them at two separate meals.
The item is worth of its price....

Mr. Speaker, once again Winnipeg has demonstrated why it is the greatest city in the world. Despite the fact that our beloved Blue Bombers decided to take the year off Winnipeg nonetheless put on a terrific show for the rest of Canada.
In typical Winnipeg style more people offered to volunteer than were needed. Volunteers greeted incoming visitors, showed them the many wonders to be found in the city with the warmest heart in Canada. They taught them how to party and they saw them off at the airport.
Hubert Kleysen, a resident of the best federal constituency in the greatest city in the number one country in the world, organized the festival of lights parade honouring Winnipeg's central role in transportation.
The halftime show included the largest fireworks display ever put on in Manitoba. Susan Aglukark sang O Canada. Fred Penner and Donovan Bailey entertained young and old alike and, oh yeah, a couple of teams played some football.
The energy to be found in Winnipeg was felt by those teams and they played what is being called the greatest Grey Cup in the history of the league. Once again Winnipeg comes through and if that is not enough good news I am told that next year the Blue Bombers are coming out of retirement.

Mr. Speaker, it is with pride that I rise to recognize the Journée nationale des patriotes, held yesterday in Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu to pay tribute to these men and women who fought for the fundamental values of freedom and democracy.
By demanding greater civil and political rights, a truly democratic and responsible government, and their homeland's independence, the Patriots have had a profound impact on the development of Quebec and Canada.
Regrettably however, this government has misrepresented the sacred trust of responsible government. Given how the Liberal government is spiriting away the surplus in the EI fund for instance, we have every reason to wonder what has become of this principle that cost the Patriots so dearly.
A government that is answerable to the legislative assembly and does not make any expenditure that has not previously been approved by Parliament is part of the Patriots' precious legacy.
I urge cabinet to act accordingly, that is like a responsible government.

November 23rd, 1998 / 2 p.m.
David Pratt Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, 17 days remain before Jasper, Alberta native Stanley Faulder is to be executed by lethal injection in Huntsville State Prison in Texas.
Stanley Faulder's case presents some very troubling issues. Although in custody since 1977, Canadian officials were only notified of Mr. Faulder's situation in 1991, an apparent breach of the Vienna convention on consular representation which meant that Faulder did not have access to proper legal representation.
No juror has ever heard testimony about the brain damage Mr. Faulder suffered in childhood that left his behaviour occasionally unpredictable. And no court has dealt with the fact that James Grigson, the forensic psychiatrist whose testimony was critical in convicting Stanley Faulder, was later expelled from the American Psychiatric Association for unethical and unscientific testimony in death penalty trials.
I urge my colleagues in the House and every Canadian interested in justice to write to Texas Governor George W. Bush and the Texas Board of Parole and Pardons seeking clemency for Stanley Faulder.

Mr. Speaker, on November 30, Quebeckers will make an important decision for the future of Quebec.
They will have to choose between a Liberal government whose priority is economic growth and another government that wants to hold a referendum, whatever the cost.
They will have to choose between a Liberal government that wants to improve the Canadian federation and another government that wants to continue its endless battle with the federal government, to the detriment of Quebeckers.
They will have to choose between a Liberal government that is working for Quebec's interests and another government that is focussing its time and energy on Quebec's separation from Canada.
This is the choice that Quebec will have to make on November 30. My mind is made up. I will be voting Liberal and I urge all Quebeckers to do the same, for a strong Quebec in a united Canada.

The Calgary Stampeders from the heart of Reform country beat the Hamilton Tiger Cats from the heart of Copps country by a score of 26 to 24.
We offer our sincerest congratulations to Sid Gooch, Wally Buono, Jeff Garcia, Mark McLoughlin and all the rest of the Calgary Stampeders. We also want to offer our congratulations to Ron Lancaster, Don Southern, Danny McManus, Darrel Flutie and all the rest of the Hamilton Tiger Cats.
Congratulations to the Canadian Football League for a great Grey Cup classic.

Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Parti Quebecois is still spreading confusion. On the one hand, he talks about the need to discuss social union; on the other, he wants to prepare the way for a referendum on Quebec's separation.
The choice on November 30 is a clear one. A vote for the Liberals will be a clear vote for keeping Quebec within Canada and for economic growth.
A vote for the Liberals will foil the Parti Quebecois' wily efforts to prepare the way for another referendum. A vote for the Liberals will be a vote in favour of moving Quebec forward economically and socially.
On November 30, it will be up to Quebeckers to take a stand in the debate on the future of our country.
On November 30, I will be voting Liberal and I urge all my fellow Quebeckers to do the same.

Mr. Speaker, with their return to Parliament Hill the merchant marines' fight for justice continues. It is very disturbing today to see that the concerns of the merchant navy veterans remain unresolved many years after faithfully serving their country. The current treatment of merchant marine veterans is one that I personally, and as the federal NDP spokesperson for veterans affairs, find deeply disheartening.
Just as other brave Canadian service personnel, the merchant marines served our country proudly and steadfastly. They risked their lives to transport to our armed forces the necessary provisions for war. Our merchant marines paid a high price for their service, suffering a higher rate of loss in the second world war than any other branch of the Canadian services. Yet the surviving veterans have received and continue to receive unequal treatment at the hands of this government. When it came time to serve their country, Canada's merchant marines did so with dedication and courage equal to their military comrades.
Why then are the merchant marines not receiving equal treatment in terms of veterans benefits and access to programs and services? There is no reason to continue to deny the merchant marines the rights and benefits due them. I urge—

Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness and emotion that I rise today to mark the passing of my friend, Yves Blais, the MNA for the riding of Masson.
Mr. Blais was a member of the Quebec national assembly since 1981. I therefore had the privilege of getting to know him and of working with him and his supporters.
Yves Blais loved his work but, above all, he loved his fellow citizens. In spite of his health problems, he was convinced he could still be with them and work for them for some time to come.
Yves Blais was an enthusiastic and convincing sovereignist. He would often say "I am a sovereignist with hopes and dreams". He will be greatly missed, but we will remember him for his fervour and determination in working to build our country.
I offer my condolences to his family, his friends, his supporters, and to his great companion and friend, Percival Broomfield.
Yves Blais, we thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the referendum race is on again with the PQ.
This weekend, at a rally held in the Quebec City region, Lucien Bouchard made a plea for sovereignty. He does want a referendum. On the weekend, the social union was all but forgotten.
A vote for the PQ is a vote for a referendum. A vote for the PQ is a vote for separating Quebec from the rest of Canada. A vote for the PQ is a vote for political uncertainty in Quebec for another mandate.
On November 30, Quebeckers must vote for economic growth. They must vote for job creation. They must vote for their Liberal candidate.

Mr. Speaker, I want to express the displeasure and disbelief of all law abiding gun owners in St. John's West and indeed all of Canada. This poorly thought out law, Bill C-68, which requires legitimate hunters all across the country to register their rifles and shotguns, is still subject to a supreme court ruling.
To continue to spend a significant amount of taxpayer dollars to advertise this program is absurd.
At a time when all policing agencies across the country are crying out for more money so they can do their jobs properly, government is spending an additional $1.3 million to advertise a law that will have no significant impact on crime. This advertising campaign is geared to rural Canada where crime rates are lowest, once again showing the absurdity of this law. This $1.3 million advertising campaign should be cancelled and the money redirected to fighting crime or, even more appropriately, to the victims of criminal acts.

Mr. Speaker, November 23 to November 30 marks the eighth annual National AIDS Awareness Week. The theme for this year's campaign is the faces of HIV-AIDS. Communities across Canada will help increase awareness about AIDS and raise funds for services and programs through red ribbon campaigns and other activities.
HIV-AIDS continues to be an international issue. Canadians have taken a proactive approach in dealing with this growing epidemic in the Canadian strategy on HIV-AIDS. Our national strategy focuses on research, treatment, care and public education. I believe it is an excellent example of how all levels of government can come together and work in the best interests of Canadian citizens. I encourage all members of the Chamber and all Canadians to support National AIDS Awareness Week activities in their ridings and their communities.

Mr. Speaker, few finer examples of Canadian wartime success and magnificent effort can be found than in the annals of the battle of the Atlantic during which merchant seamen sailed the enemy infested sea to keep the Allies supplied. Canada's merchant navy of World War II kept England alive while the Atlantic war tide turned toward victory in 1943.
Now, fifty years hence, Canada's merchant navy veterans are still held hostage to unresolved concerns. Determined veterans threaten to fast on the steps of this House to garner government will to correct what has been wrong for far too long. Merchant navy veterans are not seeking great wealth, only the respect and benefits given their armed forces brethren, to be recognized as war veterans, to have prisoner of war status, to have compensation for years of denial of equality and to have recognition on ceremonial days.
The minister must respond to our merchant navy—

Mr. Speaker, a month has gone by since the standing committee on national defence tabled its report on quality of life.
After visiting military bases across the country and the Canadian troops in Bosnia, the committee made 86 vitally important recommendations.
Today, unconfirmed reports are saying that the Minister of National Defence is asking cabinet for $700 million in order to implement the recommendations.
Is cabinet aware that the Canadian forces are facing a crisis? Is cabinet aware that some members of the forces do not earn enough to feed their family or even to heat their homes in winter? Is cabinet aware that the families of certain pilots are terrified every time they head out on a mission in helicopters that are over 30 years old?
Are the members of cabinet listening to their own minister? Are they not concerned about the life and future of the 60,000 members of the Canadian armed forces?

At next week's Values Voter Summit, Mitt Romney is scheduled to take the stage immediately before Bryan Fischer, an American Family Association spokesman with a long and shocking record of bigotry against gays and lesbians, American Muslims, Native Americans and other minority groups. Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain and Rick Santorum are also scheduled to speak at the event, which is sponsored by the anti-gay Family Research Council, the AFA, and other Religious Right groups.
Last year, People For the American Way called on Romney and other prominent GOP leaders to denounce Fischer's bigotry before appearing with him at the Values Voter Summit. This year, the event's organizers kept Fischer off the list of "confirmed speakers," but listed his Oct. 8 speech on an event schedule posted yesterday, PFAW's Right Wing Watch reports.
- Fischer, the chief spokesman for the AFA, has insisted that American Muslims have no First Amendment rights, has said that Muslims should be banned from the U.S. military, and has called for a ban on the building of new mosques in the U.S.
- · Fischer has written that " gay sex is a form of domestic terrorism ," thinks gays and lesbians should be " disqualified from public office ," claims that gays are responsible for the Nazi Party and that gay people today will " do the same thing to you that the Nazis did to their opponents in Nazi Germany ".
- Fischer has insisted that Native Americans are " morally disqualified" from controlling American land and insists that American Indian communities are "mired in poverty and alcoholism" because not all have converted to Christianity
- He has written that African American welfare recipients " rut like rabbits."
- Last year, Fischer insulted Medal of Honor winner Sal Giunta, who saved the lives of two fellow soldiers under heavy fire in Afghanistan, saying "we have feminized the Medal of Honor" because "we now award it only for preventing casualties, not for inflicting them."
People For the American Way president Michael Keegan urged Romney and his fellow presidential candidates to denounce Fischer's bigotry before appearing with him at the event.
"Bryan Fischer's stunning record of public bigotry would make him a pariah in any sane political movement," Keegan said. "But his long record of hate speech doesn't seem to bother the supposed 'mainstream' GOP politicians like Mitt Romney and Rick Perry who are sharing the stage with him at an event sponsored by his employer. Candidates don't have to agree with the views of everyone they appear with – but they should be wary of lending legitimacy to those who peddle hate and fear of their fellow Americans.
"If Mitt Romney wants to appeal to mainstream audiences, he should publicly disassociate himself from Fischer's bigotry before handing him the podium."

As the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism and the child of a Holocaust survivor, I have found that the lessons of World War II and the Holocaust greatly influence my professional and personal life.
During my trip to Germany and Poland, I have reflected on those lessons while visiting the towns in which my father and family members lived -- and died. After an incredible time in Mannheim, Germany, where my father -- who had been a rabbi there before World War II -- was honored, my sister and I went to Poland to see how my father and his family lived. I know how they died.
The Rosenthal family came from Beuthen, Germany, in Upper Silesia, the part of Germany that became Poland after the war.
Bytom is one of the oldest cities in Silesia. Jews had lived in Beuthen -- now Bytom, Poland - -since the 11th century. It was a vibrant Jewish community with many Jewish institutions, a huge beautiful synagogue and many smaller ones, Jewish schools, community centers. And a large Jewish cemetery.
In May 1942, the entire Jewish community was liquidated via the first ever Holocaust transport to be exterminated at Auschwitz. My entire family was murdered that day.
Except Dad -- who was a rabbi in Mannheim, Germany, and arrested on Kristalnacht, November 9, 1938, and taken to Buchenwald concentration camp. He was saved by Pastor Hermann Maas.
Visiting Bytom was both exhilarating and devastating.
When we went to see the gorgeous synagogue, where Dad had celebrated his Bar Mitzvah and loved to tell us great stories about, there was no synagogue. Just a dilapidated gray apartment building. When we went to the cemetery, we hoped to find the graves of my grandmother and uncle who died before the war -- and therefore would have graves. But Polish activist Wlodzimierz Kac had something else in mind. He had researched my family and ended up showing us 18 Rosenthal graves. My grandmother Selma, my uncle Martin, great and great-great grandparents, great and great-great uncles, and aunts and cousins. Eighteen Rosenthals who we could honor. I am the last Rosenthal in my family.
Bytom is one of the oldest cities in Silesia. Jews had lived in Beuthen -- now Bytom, Poland - -since the 11th century. It was a vibrant Jewish community with many Jewish institutions, a huge beautiful synagogue and many smaller ones, Jewish schools, community centers. And a large Jewish cemetery.
Bytom now has not a single Jew and hardly any Jewish presence. Where once a bustling community thrived, there is not one single survivor. We visited two of the places Dad's family had lived. He had described his home's music room and parlors. Now the buildings are dark, dank, depressing. And mostly empty. We wondered how we could help restore a school or a prayer house, or clean up the cemetery, when there is no one to keep it up. The absence is profoundly present.
Many Poles are working on Holocaust remembrance initiatives, so perhaps it is but a matter of time before the Bytom community is included. In Krakow, I met Jewish community leaders and representatives of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation, the Forum for Dialogue Among Nations, and the Judaica Foundation. I learned about the present-day Jewish community in Poland and civil society engagement on Jewish history and culture. These organizations are doing important work, fostering interaction between Jews and non-Jewish Poles through dialogue, education, and cultural exchange. Several programs focus specifically on fostering interaction among Polish non-Jewish and Jewish youth. It was moving to meet the extraordinary people working to keep the memory and spirit of Poland's absent Jews alive.
And as I work to combat anti-Semitism, I too carry with me the memory and spirit of all those who came before me. The last Rosenthal, the child of a man who lost everything before creating a new life in the United States, I am committed to ensuring the horror of the Holocaust is not forgotten, and am privileged to do so while serving the country that welcomed my father so many years ago.

Still sluggish 7 weeks later!
I did my first ever Marathon at London on the 26th April 2009 and I trained to a plan, had a really good race, got inside my target time, and allowed myself time to recovery and picked things up gradually over the next four or five weeks. So far, so good. The thing is I am now starting to worry because it has been seven weeks since the race I can't seem to get back my speed, strength or (most curiously) endurance. I am just finding it such hard going at the moment - typified by a dismal run today which I had to cut short because there was just nothing in my legs.
Any advice please?
There was a thread a few weeks ago somewhere with some links for multiple marathons, bounce back programs, recovery programs and the like. I know what you all mean, but I followed one of these after the Prague and feel OK to do the Oslo forest mara on Saturday. If it doesn't go well I'll say so
All I can say is, if you have been resting completely from running, you can detrain quite quickly - maybe 10% per week or more, IIRC. So little training for 7 weeks could easily be contributing to this, not just slow recovery. Last year I had a four week walking holiday shortly after these 2 marathons and was disgusted with my running performance when I got back in August, even though I'd walked 300 k - it just wasn't the same, Having said that, it came back mostly after roughly 4 weeks of a running program. Then I followed a mara program again from scratch.
Don't be to hard on yourself -
your only human, and all this is perfectly normal - i think you have to just simply persevere with physical distance and physcological stamina
your profile says you had a 6 year lay off- ??, so give yourself a chance
good luck, we all support you
for what it's worth, my training and racing went to sporadic and nothing for years from arond 100 miles a week years ago
i was to return to running only pushing my boy Phillip in his wheelchair - some weeks we can put it together , some weeks not
all the best

MAC says officials blew calls in Buffalo-Ohio game
Game officials in Buffalo's 30-3 Mid-American Conference victory over Ohio on Tuesday missed two calls, both to the detriment of the Bobcats.
"As in all MAC games, every play within every game is thoroughly reviewed and graded on its accuracy and has impact on the final year end evaluation for every official," said Bill Carollo, the MAC's coordinator of officials in a statement released yesterday. "In my opinion, both of these plays were not handled properly by our officiating crew."
A reception by the Bobcats was incorrectly ruled a fumble. It was reviewed by the replay booth, and despite evidence to the contrary, the call was not overruled. On the second play, Bobcats quarterback Tyler Tettleton was penalized for intentional grounding in the end zone, leading to a safety. Tettleton clearly threw from Ohio's 4-yard line, but no official overruled the referee.
That play was not reviewable from the replay booth.
• Coach Nick Saban said he's "very committed to the University of Alabama" and referred to past comments saying he wasn't interested in leaving.
Saban was asked yesterday about an Associated Press report regarding his agent's conversation in January about possibly replacing Mack Brown at Texas.
An email sent by former Texas regent Tom Hicks said Saban's agent, Jimmy Sexton, indicated that the Texas job was the only one for which the coach would consider leaving Tuscaloosa.
"First of all, I don't know where y'all get these reports, and I don't know where y'all get the information," said Saban, who smiled when a reporter asked about the AP report. "But I've already commented on all this stuff. There's nothing new or different that's ever happened. I'm very committed to the University of Alabama, love being here."

Report: Cubs to hire Renteria as manager
The Chicago Cubs are set to hire San Diego Padres bench coach Rick Renteria as their manager, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press yesterday.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the hiring has not been announced. The team was expected to make it official today. The Cubs went 66-96 this year and finished last in the National League Central.
A former major league infielder, Renteria spent the past six years on the Padres' staff and had been their bench coach since the 2011 season. He replaces Dale Sveum, who was fired after going 127-197 over two seasons.
• World Series MVP David Ortiz has won his sixth Silver Slugger award as the top designated hitter in voting by major league managers and coaches.
Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, Detroit third baseman Miguel Cabrera and Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer each were selected for the fifth time. Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jay Bruce was selected for the second straight year.
Silver Slugger awards are given to the top offensive player at each position in the American and National Leagues. They were handed out on the MLB Network.
Nine of the 18 recipients were first-time winners, including Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis, who led the major leagues in home runs and RBI.

Where will it end?
To the editor:
Where will it end?
Is it not enough that nine brilliant Supreme court judticees say it is legal to kill babies even before they draw their first breath and even some after a few breaths are left to die of starvation or hypothermia. Our government then outlawed the ten commandments from our public school classrooms, and our county, state and federal courthouses and other public buildings. Then we find in some states legalized same-sex marriages and on the agenda on many others.
In some states they are now voting to allow doctors to kill people that have some physical or mental defect. They call it death with dignity but if were not murder they wouldn't need to try calling it a dignified name.
Will our next agenda have fining clergy for conducting church services on Sundays? Maybe even having a rosary or prayer book in our home be illegal? This may be a little over reaching but the trend is fast moving in that direction. When will we say enough and vote out of office everyone who has ever voted for any of these evil things?
It is time we encourage our people to put God's laws as our guiding light and forget about the man-made laws that brought us nothing but evil things to our livelihoods, such as increased murder, abortion,divorce, theft and any other evil thing. Many of these have more than doubled. Is this really the kind of world we want to live in? When God's laws guided our everyday activities we had a much better environment to bring up a family.
We pray for rain and good weather and full employment and then slap God in the face by voting in those people that have made all these evil law that trashed Gods laws. The man-made laws give us earthly treasures, but only God can and does give us the heavenly treasures that we all are striving to receive. Slapping God in the face is probably not the best way to ask for favors. Likely no one would like to jeopardize the their eternal heavenly treasure for a few years of earthly treasure.
