Central Ohio's Only Jewish Nezvspaper Reaching Eirery Home A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR THE JEWISH HOME VOL. XV—No. 73 COLUMBUS. OHIO, MAY 20, 1932 Per Year $3.00; Per Copy loc By the Way By David Schwartz Lippman Boom Grows Recently this column suggested Walter Lippman as a desirable candidate for the presidency. Wc now have additional support for our nominee. ITeywood Broun in his column hag espoused the cause of Lipp¬ man for the presidency, and Gertrude Atherton, the famed novelist, in an ar¬ ticle now lying before me, also urges the merits of Lippman. Mrs. Atherton says of Lippman, that "he has the most lucid, statcsmanhke and comprehensive mind in the United States." No one she adds "can approach him in 'grasp' and his intellect is ot the very . highest order." Alice in Blunderland You've heard the story of the little Jewish boy promcnadit^ with his father on Christmas eve, who, seeing the lights from the homes of a section of the city largely peopled by non-Jews .questioned' his father, "Daddy, do Christians keep Christmas too?*' Weil, I've always thought that a mere story, but I came upon an experience, whose absolute veracity I can vouch for, and which duplicates this story, I'll even tell you" the little girl's name,— Alice. And she is, well, be- , tween five and six. It was the week of Passover, . "Auntie," she asked, "can we eat ice cream oii Passover?" "Have you ever seen any Jewish chiklren eat ice cream on Passover?" re¬ plied the aunt by way of stalling her off, for I do not believe the particular auntie was quite sure about the matter herself. "Yes," replied- Alice, "I saw the little girl across the street eating ice cream." "But do you know that she is Jewish?" i-'eplie<I auntie. "Yes," said Alice. "I know she is Jewish, for she speaks English." Since most of the people about her she knew were Jewish and they all spoke English, Alice came to the .conclusion that only Jews speak English. Bernstein and Zog Not every man can make a king buy a frigidaire. But that I am told, is one : of the achievements of Herman Bern¬ stein, U. S. minister to Albania, who is now on a visit to his homeland. Mr. Bernstein, it seems, was the'first man in Albania to have a frigidaire. Some time ago . King Zog visited Mr. Bernstein's home and observed all the . accoutrements. He was delighted with the frigidaire,. in particular—and ordered one like Mr. B'ernstcin's for himself. They talk of a president's kitchen cab¬ inet. King Zog shoijld be able to start one, too. LiBtening to the Ctumes Speaking of one thing or another, Eddie Cantor tells the one about the two men listening on the outside' of a religious edifice to the musical chimes issuing from within or atop. "Aren't those chimes beautiful?" asked No; 1 of No. 2. "What you say?" asked No. 2, as he cupped his ear. "I said, aren't those bells, beautiful?" spoke vip more loudly No. 1 again. "What did you say?" shouted No. 2. "Oh, darn it," shouted No. 1 yet again, and as loudly as he could, "I said, aren't those bells beautiful?" "Excuse me," shouted back No. 2, "but - I can't hear you on account of those terrible bells." Russell and Watson '-* It was Bertrand Russell who once made this comparison of the difference between the old philosophy, of the type ¦ represented. say by Descartes, and the modern school of behaviorism. Descartes, explained Russell, said, "I think, therefore, I aiii." Watson says: "There are white rats, therefore I do not think." Watson, in other words, has gone to ' objective life—to discover his phycliol- ogical principles. And all I've got to say is, whether behaviorism is true or not, there is an awful lot of psychology to be found in. objective life among plain common folks. A 'great deal that never gets between book covers. The Story of It This thought came to me after listening the other day to the story of Mrs. Cohen. Mrs. Cohen had never taken any courses in psychology, but she was a great help to Mr. Cohen. , You will be suri)rised to learn that Mra. Cohen was such a help to Mr. Cohen, when I tell you that Mrs. Cohen did very little, of the housework and spent most of her time playing bridge. Yet she was a great help to Mr. Cohen, for she was full of phychological in¬ sight and so ministered to his mind in many directions and very successfully. Now the other day, so the story that [ heard goes, Mr. Cohen was laying about tossing in hed. He had counted 10,000 ' sheep; ha had recited 'Shma Yisroel, the Jewish night prayer, two and a half times; he had tried Judaism and Chris¬ tian Science on himself, yet slumber would not come to his eyelids nor repose to his weary soul. "Why dost thou toss so much, and why is thy son! so disturbed?" asked his wife. "Ah," said Mr, Cohen at this, and turned over again and yet again. At this Mrs. Cohen grew very irate. "What have you got—the heebie-jeebies? Fray tell me, tell me what is on your mind?" And her husband, who was a plain blunt man, responded simply: "All right, if you want to know, Lena, I can't sleep, because I've got to pay Mr. Jacob's!' $3,000 tomorrow and I can't pay it." "Ho, hum" said his wife. An idea CContinued on page 2) RABBI LEE J. LEVINGER AN¬ NOUNCES TWO SERMONS The foUowing two sermons have been announced by Rabbi Lee J. Levinger, who is occupying the pulpit of Temple Israel until a successor to Rabbi Tar¬ shish has been selected by the board of Trustees: (1) "The Ubiquitous Jew in History," which will he delivered Fri¬ day eyening, May 27tli, and (2) "The Ubiquitous jew in the Present Scene,", which will be delivered Friday evening, June 3rd.

Wise Ad¬ dresses Local Jewish 'Leaders Representative Group Promises Co¬ operation to National Chairman of the 1932 Fund of The J. D. C. In every respect the meeting calletl to¬ gether by Messrs; 'Simon Lazarus and Edwin J, Schanfarber in honor of Rabbi Jonah B. Wise of New York City, Na-r tional Chairman of the 1032 Fund of the American Joint Distribution, Committee, was a success. The representative Jews who turned out for this luncheon meet¬ ing held in the Lazarus Tea Room, Monday afternoon, May Ifith, listened with rapt attention to the report made by Dr. Wise on the past and future problems of the J. D, C. In part the rabbi spoke as follows: "American Jewry will be asked to contribute $2,500,000 to the .American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the world's largest Jewish welfare" organi¬ zation engaged in overseas work, to per¬ mit it to carry on a program, of mini¬ mum relief and social reconstruction among suffering Jews in Eastern and Central Europe. "This quota was adopted at a meeting of the Executive Conimittee and was based on facts and figures submitted by Dr. Bernard Kahn, European director of the Committee, who recently described conditions among Jews abroad as 'bor¬ dering on panic' This sum will enable the Committee to provide at least on a minimum scale, immediate relief to the starving and distressed in Poland, Lithuania, Sub-Carpathia, Roumania and other nearby sections, as well as to con¬ tinue its medical, cultural, and rehabili¬ tative activities which are helpinghun- dreds of thousands of Jewish families to become self-dependent." . At the conclusion of Rabbi Wise's ad¬ dress, Edwin J. Schanfarber. thanked the speaker for his valiant efforts and ex¬ pressed on behalf of the Jews assembled the Columbus comnmnity's readiness to do its share towards raising the national quota. Another meeting on behalf of the J. D, C. will be held on Tuesday, June 7th, announced Mr. Schanfarber. More de¬ tails regarding this meeting will be printed in the Chronicle for May 27th. H. U. C.

Tlie play i's a brilliant satire oil a breach of promise case in a court of justice, and the parts of the judge, at¬ torney, plaintiff aiid defendant, promise great humor and the usual beauty of melody.

Kaplan and Maurice Rosenthal, heroes of the three previous Gilbert and Sullivan pro¬ ductions, both of whom graduate this spring. .

A LETTER FROM A CANDI¬ DATE FOR OUTER GUARD The following letter from Louis A. Gertner speaks for itself: Columbus, Ohio, May IG, 1933. Editor, Ohio Jewish Chronicle, City. Dear Sin- In answer to my many friends who, after reading the last issue of the Chron¬ icle, have been wondering whether or not I am a candidate for the post of Outer Guard of Zion Lodge No. C2, B'nai B'rith, will you please quote me as say¬ ing that I am still in the race, very much so indeed, and with the help of my many friends and well wishers, hope and ex¬ pect to be the victor. Respectfully, (Signed) Louis A. Gertner, Thursday evening, June 2nd, at 7:30 P. M. at the annual meeting of the Jew¬ ish Welfare Federation at Hermine Schonthal Center, for the first time in the history of the Jewish Welfare Fede¬ ration, representatives will be elected to the Board of Directors from the follow¬ ing philanthropic organizations: The Co¬ lumbtts Section of the National Council of Jewish Women, the Columbus Chap¬ ter of, Hadassah, B'nai B'rith, Ezras Noshim, and the Jewish Shelter House. All Columbus Jewry owes it to its com¬ munity to piirticipate, in the election of the officers and Board of Directors of the organizations which are strengthening and moulding the lives of countless in¬ dividuals in our community. Spend, one evening in thought and contemplation while reviewing the activities of the Jew¬ ish Welfare Federation and the Hermine Schonthal Center. Give your attention to the fact that every dollar of the money j*ou contributed to the. Community Fund was so expended as to give back its full value in the terms of suffering relieved, of hungry hearts and minds made glad, and of brother Jews saved to self-re¬ spect and social usefulness. You have contributed through the Jew¬ ish Welfare Federation not only to.local ' needs of relief, social service, recreation and education and vocation, but also to national institutions including Belfaire. Jewisli Orphan Home of Cleveland, Jew¬ ish National Hospital for Consumptives, Jewish Consumptive Relief Society, Leo N, Levi Memorial Hospital, National Farm Scbool, Montefiore Home for Aged, Denver Sheltering Home for Jewish Children, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. National Desertion Bureau, Jew¬ ish Training School for Jewish Social Work. The Jevvish Infants' Home of Ohio and the Jewish Shelter House of Hachnosis Orchim are also recipients of your bounty. Faithfully and conscien¬ tiously have the following ofBcers served yon during the past two years in the following capacities: President of Jew¬ ish Welfare Federation, J. W. Stehi- hauser; vice president; secretary. Miss Rose Sugarman; treasurer, Joseph Basch; president of Hermine Schonthal Center, Dr. E. J. Goi-don; Dr. A. M. Steinfeld, vice president. The secretary and treasurer served both organizations. Let your attendance at this meeting mark your cooperation in welding closer together the various groups in our com¬ munity who are working for a commnn causes—a united Jewry—striving to give to each and every member of our Jewish community the opportunity for .his de¬ velopment on the highest possible plane. Fritz Lichtenberg, widely known for his communal service to the entire Co¬ lumbus conimunity, will be the main speaker of the evening. J. W. Stein¬ hauser will summarise the work of the Jewish Welfare Federation. Dr, E. J. Gordon will recount the activities of Her¬ mine Schonthal Center.

MEETING A regular meeting of Aleph Zadik Aleph of the B'nai B'rith will he held Sunday afternoon, May 22nd, at 2:30 p. in. AH members are urged to attend and hear of the new sttmmer schedule which will be followed through the sum¬ mer. Last Wednesday I was surprised by a Christian friend's remark that he had just learned of the Jewish ancestry of Gilbert Bettman, Ohio's Attorney Gen¬ eral and Republican. Candidate tor the United States Senate. Iu Cincinnati, where Mr. Bettman was born and reared, he is known among all classes as a .faithful "son of Israel," one who takes an active interest in many philanthropic and religious activities. He has served this state faithfully and well and deserves the respect and support of all loyal citizens, regardless of race, color or creed. The most brilliant Yiddish story teller in Ohio is iibne other than the spiritual leader of the Euch'd Avenue Temple, Cleveland, Rabbi Barnett R. Brickner. Ask Dr. Levinger, Dr. B. W. Abramson or Mr. Joseph Solove; they will be glad' to testify to the accuracy of this, state¬ ment, for they heard liim tell scores of inimitable ''masses" at the Neil House, between 10:30 and 2 A. M. on the eve¬ ning of May Uth, following the big Zionist mass ineeting. The eloquent Ralihi proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that a Yiddishist can still be a successful pulpiteer in a Reform Con¬ gregation. It seems as if Dr. Louis I. Newman of New York and Dr. Louis Wolsey of Philadelphia, may yet have a fistic en¬ counter, judging from the strained re¬ lations that exist between them, at this time. Through a number of Anglo-Jew¬ ish weeklies they have been exchanging very uncomplimentary remarks during the past six weeks. I am wondering whether .such conduct is becoming two well-known rabbis occupyinpf important posts in large Jewish centers. A little more humility and rcstrahlt on the part of both these men is in order. As a layman I am shocked by such wrangling between gentlemen of the cloth. It is altogether luidignificd, to say the least. The annual convention of District No. 2. B'nai B'rith, takes place this year in Dayton on the 2eth, 2Mi and SOth of Jlay. From present indications Colum¬ bus will he well represented at this con¬ clave. Sidney G. Kusworm of Daxton, who is chairman of the arrangements committee, guarantees a good time to all the delegates, thejr wives, and lady friend.s. + * 4 * * * On Monday afternoon in the Lazarus Tea Room, Sinion Lazarus and Edwin J. Schanfarber were hosts to a repre¬ sentative group of Colnmbus Jews called together in honor of Rahbi Jonah B. Wise of New York, national director of the fund-raising campaign ^ of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Comniittee. _ . At this luncheon-meeting, presided ovcr by Mr. Lazarus, Rabhi Wise pre¬ sented a report on conditions abroad as they affect our co-religionists, and urged Columhus Jewry to do its part in Ihe same spirit that it has done it in the past. The Jews assemlile<l listened to Dr. Wise's address with rapt attention. "American Jewry as a whole will be asked to contribute $2,500,000 to the Joint Distribution Committee, the world's largest Jewish welfare organization en¬ gaged in overseas work," declared Dr. Wise. "This must be done in order to enable the committee to carry on a pro¬ gram of minimum relief and social re¬ construction among suffering Jews in eastern and central Europe.''

Lippman Boom Grows
Recently this column suggested Walter Lippman as a desirable candidate for the presidency.
Wc now have additional support for our nominee. ITeywood Broun in his column hag espoused the cause of Lipp¬ man for the presidency, and Gertrude Atherton, the famed novelist, in an ar¬ ticle now lying before me, also urges the merits of Lippman.
Mrs. Atherton says of Lippman, that "he has the most lucid, statcsmanhke and comprehensive mind in the United States."
No one she adds "can approach him in 'grasp' and his intellect is ot the very . highest order."
Alice in Blunderland You've heard the story of the little Jewish boy promcnadit^ with his father on Christmas eve, who, seeing the lights from the homes of a section of the city largely peopled by non-Jews .questioned' his father, "Daddy, do Christians keep Christmas too?*'
Weil, I've always thought that a mere story, but I came upon an experience, whose absolute veracity I can vouch for, and which duplicates this story,
I'll even tell you" the little girl's name,— Alice. And she is, well, be- , tween five and six.
It was the week of Passover, . "Auntie," she asked, "can we eat ice cream oii Passover?"
"Have you ever seen any Jewish chiklren eat ice cream on Passover?" re¬ plied the aunt by way of stalling her off, for I do not believe the particular auntie was quite sure about the matter herself.
"Yes," replied- Alice, "I saw the little girl across the street eating ice cream." "But do you know that she is Jewish?" i-'epliei> * ¦«( * •)¦

Originally, in April 2013, Hyundai recalled 1,059,824 model year 2007-2009 Accent and Tucson, model year 2007-2010 Elantra, model year 2007-2011 Santa Fe, model year 2008-2009 Veracruz, model year 2010-2011 Genesis Coupe, and model year 2011 Sonata vehicles. In September 2013, Hyundai informed the agency that it was adding more vehicles to this campaign, representing an additional 652,512 units. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 1,712,336. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake transmission shift interlock feature, preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. The safety recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Perfect Gifts, Super Quick!
Added Dec 18, 2011

Vienna, Austria
Upcycling ties really isn't the most unique thing… It's a pretty obvious choice, as they come in such brilliant, luxurious fabrics. Also, fabric necklaces aren't that unique and they have popped up everywhere… anyway, here is my combination of the two. I love how you use the narrow end of the tie, which often gets left-over after using the wider part for projects. And believe me, these are made in no time at all, which means you actually get to keep some for yourself :-) For the full tutorial, please visit my blog Of Dreams and Seams

Angelina Jolie is the model of cool vengeance in the new teaser for "Maleficent," the live-action retelling of Disney's animated classic "Sleeping Beauty" from the point of view of the striking sorceress.
Due in theaters May 30, the film stars Jolie in the title role and sees the actress don the cape and horns of the character, a childhood favorite.
"Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite," Jolie said at an appearance at the studio's D23 convention in Anaheim last year. "I was terrified of her, but I was also drawn to her. I wanted to know more about her. She had this elegance and grace, yet she was wonderfully, deliciously cruel."
The promotional spot for the film — which debuted over the weekend on the Disney Channel — plays up the connection to the 1959 movie, contrasting memorable images from "Sleeping Beauty" with corresponding footage from the new film, which is directed by Robert Stromberg, who won an art direction Oscar for Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland."
"Maleficent" purports to focus on the events that led the character to the path of evil, which suggests that she'll likely be depicted in a more sympathetic light than in the 1959 feature — at one point in the new trailer, she warns the Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning), "There is an evil in this world, and I cannot keep you from it."
The clip concludes with what appears to be one of the haunting climatic moments from the animated tale — the wicked conjurer raising a forest of thorns from the ground. (The same image was featured in the first teaser for the film released last year.)
"Maleficent's" cast also includes Sharlto Copley, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville.
Linda Woolverton wrote the screenplay.

Heller says Bundy should pay BLM grazing fees
Republican Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada says Cliven Bundy should pay the Bureau of Land management more than $1 million in grazing fees the agency says he owes.
Heller made no additional comment on the subject at a news conference in Washington.
A Nevada rancher, Bundy says he doesn't recognize federal authority over lands around his property where his cattle have long grazed.
The BLM claims the cattle are trespassing on fragile Gold Butte habitat set aside for the endangered desert tortoise, and that Bundy owes $1.1 million in fees and penalties since 1993.
A recent armed standoff during a BLM roundup of the family's cattle earlier this month became so tense that the agency stopped its efforts, released about 350 animals back to Bundy and left the area.

Rumor has it that Rachel Uchitel, one of Tiger Wood's many alleged mistresses, has agreed to appear in an issue of Playboy. She won't bare everything, but she will go topless, allowing America to see what all of the fuss is about. The shoot is supposed to take place approximately 3 weeks from now, but Rachel has the option to cancel at any time. We're pretty sure she won't.
It was Rachel's texts that ulimately busted Tiger Woods and lead to the bizarre car accident drama last November. She has also admitted to an affair with married "Bones" star David Boreanaz.

"We wanted it to be unpretentious, simple, functional and really welcoming," Donna Williams says of her recent kitchen renovation.
Her home, a grand 1910 Craftsman-style charmer, boasts an intriguing disposition of beautifully proportioned rooms, original fir mouldings, box-beamed ceilings, spacious wraparound veranda and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the back garden.
Williams and her husband, Bruce Wright, purchased the Calgary home in 1994 and raised their two children there. It was warm and welcoming, but it had a few quirks. Imagine a 1980s kitchen, Corian countertops, oak cupboards and a sunshine ceiling (a framed fluorescent fixture).
The couple did make some initial, functional changes. They converted an upstairs bedroom to an oversized bathroom, updated the master bedroom with builtin shelving, removed the sunshine ceiling, moved the kitchen laundry upstairs and replaced one-inch baseboards with 10-inch ones.
"We left the Corian counters and the oak cabinets, but we updated the knobs and changed some of the backsplash and then for the next 16 years we lived in the kitchen and the kids rode tricycles, rollerbladed and skateboarded through it," recalls Williams.
For her, the enjoyment of living in an older character home far outweighs any aggravation. She understands that the nooks and crannies, creaky floors and peeling floral wallpaper offer a connection to generations who lived here before her.
"We didn't change anything structurally. In fact, there are old servant stairs leading from the kitchen to the second floor - we use them all the time, even though they are really narrow and we bang our head on the ceiling. If we were to get rid of them, we would be able to add an ensuite to the master bedroom - it would just give us so much more room, but they are just part of the home's charm," she says.
Eventually, however, the kitchen's Corian cracked and the appliances became too outdated. It was time.
Two years ago, Williams created plans for a new kitchen, overlaid with modern simplicity. She used the existing kitchen layout and updated appliances, flooring and materials, but soon realized that much of the design would need to be customized.
The kitchen's ceiling heights varied by as much as an inch and the south wall consisted of a brick chimney. Williams had a kitchen cabinet specialist tweak her plans and design custom cabinetry, including space for two built-in fridges. She then sought the advice of an architect.
"He reminded me to create the triangle, so I put the sink in the island. It is perfect here," Williams says.
With the help of an interior designer, she chose a palette of ice blue and taupe, anchored with coffeestained stools and an oak dining table that she lovingly rescued from the garbage and refinished - and she painted the entire home herself. "I was told that for every gallon of paint used, I would save $80 in labour," she notes.
She also refinished and re-stained the original fir in the main part of the house and introduced the taupe from the kitchen. "I wanted to visually unify aspects of the modern kitchen with the authentic craftsmanship and design of the original home."
The result is warm and unaffected, yet striking in its clean lines and tonal contrasts.
"It's light, airy and open and it's also really pretty. It's a nice place to spend time," she says of her new kitchen space.

Using client threads effectively requires that you balance performance, throughput, and resource needs. To do this, you need to understand JMS restrictions on thread usage, what threads Message Queue allocates for itself, and the architecture of your applications. This section addresses these issues and offers some guidelines for managing client threads.
The Java Messaging Specification mandates that a session not be operated on by more than one thread at a time. This leads to the following restrictions:
A session may not have an asynchronous consumer and a synchronous consumer.
A session that has an asynchronous consumer can only produce messages from within the onMessage() method (the message listener). The only call that you can make outside the message listener is to close the session.
A session may include any number of synchronous consumers, any number of producers, and any combination of the two. That is, the single-thread requirement cannot be violated by these combinations. However, performance may suffer.
The system does not enforce the requirement that a session be single threaded. If your client application violates this requirement, you will get a JMSIllegalState exception or unexpected results.
When the Message Queue client runtime creates a connection, it creates two threads: one for consuming messages from the socket, and one to manage the flow of messages for the connection. In addition, the client runtime creates a thread for each client session. Thus, at a minimum, for a connection using one session, three threads are created. For a connection using three sessions, five threads are created, and so on.
Managing threads in a JMS application often involves trade-offs between performance and throughput. Weigh the following considerations when dealing with threading issues.
When you create several asynchronous message consumers in the same session, messages are delivered serially by the session thread to these consumers. Sharing a session among several message consumers might starve some consumers of messages while inundating other consumers. If the message rate across these consumers is high enough to cause an imbalance, you might want to separate the consumers into different sessions. To determine whether message flow is unbalanced, you can monitor destinations to see the rate of messages coming in. See Chapter 4, Using the Metrics Monitoring API.
You can reduce the number of threads allocated to the client application by using fewer connections and fewer sessions. However, doing this might slow your application's throughput.
You might be able to use certain JVM runtime options to improve thread memory usage and performance. For example, if you are running on the Solaris platform, you may be able to run with the same number (or more) threads by using the following vm options with the client: Refer to the JDK documentation for details.
Use the Xss128K option to decrease the memory size of the heap.
Use the xconcurrentIO option to improve thread performance in the 1. 3 VM.

Tips for choosing the right resort
Have the holidays left you dreaming of a vacation in the sun? Pick up the winter travel brochures put out by Transat, Nolitours, Sunwing, Signature, Air Canada Vacations, West Jet, Sunquest and Hola Sun, and dream on.
But also consider the following: You pay for an all-inclusive holiday up front, sight unseen with after tax dollars. There are hundreds of destinations and resorts to choose from, and all the pictures in the catalogues — and online — look gorgeous, so how do you decide?
Fortunately the brochures make it easier each year. Take Sunwing for example. Their 418-page brochure is divided into sections and gives resort feedback from guests. In Air Canada Vacation's 248-page book, the front section reads like a travel magazine. And they have a nifty "at a glance" chart that rates eight vacation musts.
To make a choice you'll be happy with, you have some decisions to make before you book. Here are some points to ponder in advance:
1. Establish a budget, and bear in mind prices are higher at peak holiday times.
2. Who is going? Grandma and Grandpa, two kids, and Auntie Sue who is a swinging 22? For a multi-generational group, think about a sophisticated destination such as Cancun, Mexico, where there is night life, golf, shopping, fine dining, cultural sites, and many resorts with kids clubs.
3. Where do you want to go? You have your choice of 52 sun destinations in 24 countries.
4. What do you want to do on that beach? Walk it, swim, snorkel, or just look at it from under a tree? Cuba's Cayo Santa Maria has a fabulous beach, great swimming, walking and great prices. For pool lovers, check out swim out rooms, where you can swim pretty well whenever you like.
5. Do you want shopping, golf and excursions? Look at the distance between these features and the resort so you don't spend all of your time driving.
6. Are you happy staying on the resort grounds or do you want to explore?
Nolitours has a free program called "nolizone" in selected resorts for guests who want to meet new people and explore the destination. If your family gets bored in one spot, look at Transat Holidays' Experience Collection. Packages that allow you to sample two different destinations — such as five nights in Punta Cana and two in Santo Domingo or a few nights in Havana and four to 10 nights in Cayo Santa Maria Cuba — might be perfect.
7. What about the kids? Transat's Family collection are resorts hand picked by Transat that make it easy to narrow the hunt. For instance, the Melia Caribe in Punta Cana welcomes babies from eight months, while most resorts are for ages four and up.
Beaches Resorts by Sandals are the best in the world according to 13-year-old Katelyn Walker. Auntie Sam loved it, too.
Dreams Resorts have a fabulous kids club for the three to 12 set. Kids love the water trampolines and beach camp-outs in the supervised Explorers Club so Mom and Dad can have a romantic dinner.
Some resorts offers kids' stay, play and eat free programs, while others have added bunk beds or will accommodate three children and two adults in one room. Memories Resorts are one of the few offering clubs for kids from infancy to 12 years of age.
8. Are you looking for romance? Sandals Resorts are all about romance, so naturally they offer great weddings, too. My husband Tom and I got married at Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica. Planning took an hour, leaving us to enjoy the pool while someone else did the work. It was perfect.
9. Some people love brands. Take Riu Resorts for example. " I feel pampered," said a miner from Sudbury about a stay at a Riu resort. " I'll try the Riu in Costa Rica next."
10. Love spas and adult resorts? At the BodyHoliday LeSport in St. Lucia, a daily spa treatment, the Ayurvedic centre, meditation temple, Pilates, tai chi and yoga are included.
And finally, check the Canadian resort reviews on monarc.ca, a site that proves the reviewers have actually stayed at a property before they can review it.

Condemning an attack on unarmed Christians in Egypt, Pope Benedict XVI said that during the country's transition to democracy, all its citizens and institutions must work to guarantee the rights of minorities. At the end of his weekly general audience on Oct. 12, Pope Benedict said he was "profoundly saddened" by the deaths and injuries during the chaos that followed an attack on peaceful protesters on Oct. 9.
At least 26 people—mostly Christians—were killed and nearly 500 were injured as gangs armed with firebombs, sticks, swords and rocks attacked about 1,000 people who had been staging a peaceful sit-in outside the headquarters of Egypt's state television. As the violence escalated, a speeding military vehicle mounted a sidewalk and rammed into a group of protesters, killing a number of them. The protesters, Muslims as well as Christians, had been calling for greater action to protect Christians in Egypt after a number of attacks had been made against Christian sites. Witnesses said headless bodies lay in the street after the worst sectarian violence since the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak in the Arab Spring revolt earlier this year.
Pope Benedict said Egypt has been "lacerated by attempts to undermine peaceful coexistence among its communities." Safeguarding harmony and cooperation is essential for a future of true democracy, he said.
Street skirmishes in Cairo continued through Oct. 10, with several hundred Christians pelting police officers with rocks outside the hospital to which many of the victims were taken. In a televised address on Oct. 10, Egypt's prime minister, Essam Sharaf, blamed the violence on foreign intervention and warned Egyptians that such actions would delay the country's transition to civilian rule. But the Rev. Rafic Greiche, a spokesperson for the Catholic Church in Egypt, implicated the nation's governing council in the worst spate of violence since Mubarak's downfall. He said, "We are accusing the army and the police who used vagabonds, a rabble force of street fighters, to attack the demonstrators."
Father Greiche said the problem had moved beyond sectarianism: "The army and the police are confronting the Copts. This is the problem.... It is not a Christian-Muslim problem anymore.... People—not just Christians but many Muslims, too—are frightened for the future of our country."
He added: "Since the fall of Mubarak, the fundamentalists have developed a very loud voice. The government leaves them to do whatever they want." Father Greiche accused Islamic extremists of using Facebook and other social media to call for Chris-tians to emigrate to the West. He said Islamists were determined to implement Islamic Shariah law in Egypt.
The spark for the crisis was violent protests by hardline Salafi Muslims against the construction of two churches in southern Egypt. Four churches have been subjected to arson attacks in as many months. The Christian demonstrators were protesting one such attack on a Coptic Orthodox church and were seeking greater protection from authorities. Antonios Aziz Mina, the Catholic bishop of Giza, said that Christians are asking to be able to live peacefully in their own country. "If they [the police] had taken a position of being against those who destroyed the churches, we would never have gotten to this point," he said.
Cardinal Antonios Naguib, the Coptic Catholic patriarch of Alexandria, called the situation "complex." He said even the armed forces have a dilemma: Do they "face the people creating conflict by [using] force or act very cautiously, giving the impression they are slow and lack resolve?"

China Mobile Ltd. (NYSE: CHL, SEHK: 0941) is China's dominant mobile service provider, with 60% national market share. It is the world's largest telecommunications company by subscriber count, with 584 million subscribers as of December 2010.[1] Its size gives it an efficiency and resource advantage over its competitors, but brings a burden as well. As the shining star of the Chinese telecom industry, China Mobile is expected to be a main financial supporter of any home-grown telecom technologies.
China Mobile is currently focusing its domestic expansion and development resources on rural market capture. Rural markets are much more sparsely penetrated than urban ones, and China Mobile's extensive existing network gives it a significant boost in the race to grab as many of the rural market mobile users as possible. China Mobile's future success will depend in large part on its rural expansion.
The Chinese government plays a large role in regulating the telecom industry, and China Mobile is very much subject to any disturbances that may come from that direction. In May 2008, China Mobile lost $26B in market value when the Chinese government said it would start to merge smaller rivals to increase competition.[2] In an effort to build its 3G network, China Mobile signed a $1 billion deal with Alcatel to provide the infrastructure for the network. The ensuing distribution of licenses will have a huge impact on China Mobile's course for the next few years.
China Mobile provides a range of mobile telecommunications services in all 31 provinces, autonomous regions and directly administered municipalities in Mainland China, as well as in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.[3] As of December 31, 2010, the company reported about 584 million subscribers.[1] China Mobile Limited offers mobile telecommunications services principally using the global system for mobile communications (GSM) standard.[3] Beginning from January 7, 2009, it also offers mobile telecommunications services using the time division-synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) standard. The Company operates its third-generation (3G) business based on a core mobile telecommunications network that is shared by both its second generation (2G) and 3G businesses and TD-SCDMA wireless network capacity leased from CMCC.[3]
The Company provides roaming services to its customers, which allow them to access mobile telecommunications services while they are physically outside of their registered service area or in the coverage areas of other mobile telecommunications networks in other countries and regions, with which the Company has roaming arrangements. As of December 31, 2009, its GSM global roaming services covered 237 countries and regions, while its general packet radio service (GPRS) global roaming services coverage was extended to 182 countries and regions.[3]
China Mobile's vast size gives it an important economic scale advantage in telecom, an industry which rewards carriers for being large (i.e., many subscribers and an extensive network). The bigger a telecom company, the more free capital it has to spend on growth areas, and thus the better its network coverage, research, distribution, and marketing. This higher-quality service and better public image attracts more subscribers, which leads to yet more growth. In addition, incremental costs (including marketing, advertising, and distribution costs) tend to plateau after a certain point of expenditure: so when a large telecom company grows, the proportion of income spent on incremental costs declines, too.
Second Quarter 2010 Results[4]
China Mobile reported first-quarter net profit increased to 25.48 billion yuan ($3.73 billion) from 25.2 billion yuan a year earlier. Revenue rose 7.7% to 109.09 billion yuan from 101.27 billion yuan. The 1.1% gain in earnings was slower than the company's 5.2% rise a year earlier. China Mobile's average revenue per user slipped to 70 yuan in the first quarter from 73 yuan a year earlier because of a drop in mobile tariffs. New subscribers were mainly low-end users. China Mobile said Tuesday that it added six million subscribers in March, up from 5.5 million in February. The March gain included 3.4 million 3G subscribers.
China Mobile's voice business focuses on enabling its customers to make and receive calls with a mobile phone at any point within the coverage area of the Company's mobile telecommunications networks.

China's rural regions remain largely untouched by cellular companies: total market penetration is just 12% (compared to 32% overall nationally). In addition, the Chinese government's recent focus on addressing the urban-rural divide by increasing rural income and development means that the rural population may experience an increase in demand for cellular services. China Mobile's already extensive physical network of cellular signal centers means that it is in prime position to take advantage of this developing rural market.
Mobile companies' standard profitability indicators include ARPU, average revenue per user. Most rural subscribers tend to favor the most inexpensive and basic plans, depriving mobile carriers of the more profitable added-value voice and data services. Thus, rural ARPUs are usually expected to be lower than urban ARPUs, making each rural subscriber less profitable to the company on average than each urban subscriber. However, China Mobile's current rural ARPU of RMB40-50/month is significantly higher than is needed for rural break-even (RMB30/month; US$1 is apprx. 7.9RMB). Rural areas can be much more profitable than expected, for a number of reasons:
As rural market penetration increases, China Mobile may have difficulty maintaining its rural profitability for two main reasons:
China Mobile Limited's parent company is China Mobile Communications Corporation, a state-owned enterprise that holds 75% of CHL's shares. These close ties to the Chinese government means that China Mobile Ltd. can be pressured into actions not in the best interests of its minority stockholders. Governmental intervention is one of China Mobile's biggest risks.
The impending introduction of 3G or third-generation mobile technology could potentially damage China Mobile's financial position. 3G's advent means that the Chinese government will have to distribute new operating licenses for competing "standards" (mobile information transmission protocols): internationally-accepted WCDMA, and home-grown TD-SCDMA. The government strongly favors TD-SCDMA for political and nationalist reasons--the coming 2008 Olympics are a particularly big deadline for the standard's launch--but a swich to TD-SCDMA will be expensive, since it requires extensive new infrastructure and testing that the already-established WCDMA doesn't.
Although disputed half a year ago, today it is generally understood that China Mobile's parent company will be required to "lead" TD-SCDMA's network development with support from China Netcom (CN) and China Telecom (CHA). It will take the lion's share of a RMB27 billion (apprx. US$3.4 bn) bill as a way of "fulfilling its social responsibility" as China's leading mobile carrier. China Mobile may only be licensed to operate TD-SCDMA, a blow to its profitability. On the other hand, if the Chinese government throws its full weight behind TD-SCDMA, the home-grown protocol may dominate the Chinese market and make WCDMA irrelevent.
China Mobile's near-monopoly on the Chinese wireless market may lead government officials either to reorganize and split up China Mobile, or to demand the implementation of policies that would help smaller telecom companies compete. For instance, China Mobile might be forced to introduce one-way number mobility (this lets people leaving the service keep their old numbers, while people switching to China Mobile for the first time still deal with the hassle of getting new numbers), or to allow the use of its extensive cellular network by other companies for roaming.
A good overseas acquisition or partial acquisition results in an important additional source of capital for China Mobile, allowing the company to spend yet more on either further investments or on network maintenance. Interests overseas may also act as buffers against fluctuations of the Chinese market, making China Mobile less susceptible to sudden or unforeseen negative economic trends. However, a bad overseas investment could be a huge drain of resources for China Mobile, and could also expose it to negative publicity.
After a long search for an appropriate venue to invest in, China Mobile recently acquired an 89% share in Pakistani telecom company Paktel. While many are enthusiastic about Paktel's possibilities for expansion, others point out that Paktel is the only of Pakistan's 5 telecom companies that has been losing subscribers annually. China Mobile may have to invest significantly in new equipment and marketing to bring Paktel up to speed.
China Mobile competes with China Telecom (CHA) and China United Network Communications Group Company Limited (CHINA UNICOM (CHU)).[5]
Of wireless Chinese telecom companies, China Mobile leads the pack. Its only significant competitor in this sector is China Unicom (CHU), a much smaller company which occasionally tries to undercut China Mobile's prices; however Unicom has difficulty sustaining the price advantage because of its lack of resources. Unicom is not well-positioned for rural expansion. Of the two cellular standards it operates, GSM has cheap handsets but spotty coverage in rural areas, while CDMA has better coverage but pricier handsets--a big minus in the frugal countryside. However, if China Unicom is acquired another major telecom company, it could shift the balance of resources enough to threaten China Mobile's position. Lastly, CHL is eagerly searching for cheap acquisitions during the economic downturn, which could better position the company to thrive once the economy goes on an upswing.
China Mobile's biggest threat by far remains wired-line or "fixed-line" companies China Netcom (CN) and China Telecom (CHA). Wired-line companies also provide broadband internet services, which may give them an extra boost. Things to look out for include:

From the "What were they possibly thinking?" section of the news comes this story from Fort Wayne, Indiana, where four children, ages four to seven years old, were rescued after being strapped to the hood of a moving car. Driver Aaron Stefanski and passenger Jessica Clark, both 29, allegedly strapped the children to their vehicle at a Fort Wayne liquor store and drove off, reports CBS affiliate WANE.
Two charged after strapping kids to hood of car: wane.com
The couple was stopped just a few blocks away by a U.S. marshal who saw the children. Onlookers were shocked. One resident, Bonita Gorsuch, told WANE, "I couldn't believe it! They had this strap across their legs. They were squirming to get out. They didn't know what to do. And I told the people in the car, 'Don't do that!'"
Plus: Mom Arrested for Texting & Driving with Child on Lap
It is impossible to imagine how anyone could have such poor judgment (Stefanski allegedly explained that he thought it would be "fun" for the kids)—though the driver's .17 blood alcohol just might have had something to do with it. The children did not appear to be hurt, three of which belong to Stefanski and the fourth to Clark. It is still unclear who holds custody and the exact nature of the Stefanski and Clark's relationship.

Both adults were arrested and are currently in police custody. Stefanski was charged with three counts of operating while intoxicated and one count of neglect of a dependent. Clark was charged with one count of neglect of a dependent.
Is this one of the worst parenting stories you've heard in a while?

Guardiola banking on 'angry Ribery' to pip Real
By Reuters - Apr 28,2014 - Last updated at Apr 28,2014
MUNICH –– Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is counting on Frenchman Franck Ribery's anger to power them past Real Madrid in their Champions League semifinal second leg on Tuesday despite the winger's recent slump in form.
Ribery had a sparkling season until Bayern clinched the Bundesliga title with seven games to spare.
The team has since looked like a pale shadow of its former scintillating self that broke record after record en route to the league title with Ribery having lost his spark down the left wing as Bayern notched just two wins in their last five league games.
"Franck Ribery is extremely important for this club, for the team," Guardiola told reporters on Monday ahead of the second leg following their 1-0 defeat in Madrid last week.
"He was playing angry against Bremen [in Bayern's 5-2 win on Saturday]. Franck needs this aggression, he needs to play angry.
"He keeps fighting and that is why fans love him. He is one of the best players in Bayern history, he has always performed at the highest level and we need the best Ribery."
Bayern were again unconvincing for much of the game against Bremen before an explosive second half saw them charge past their opponents with Ribery also on target.
Guardiola, in his first season in charge, is looking to lead Bayern to an unprecedented back-to-back Champions League win and should they make the final they would equal Juventus' record of having reached three consecutive finals in this competition (1996-98).
They will, however, need to score against a team that last week successfully managed to keep the Bayern attack under complete control despite the Germans' overwhelming possession.
"I cannot imagine that [Real coach] Carlo Ancelotti will set up his team in such a way as to just keep the result," said the Spaniard. "That would be difficult to maintain. Obviously it is clear what we need to do. We need to score more than one goal."
"Real are a quick team so we always have to be positioned well when we lose possession. The best is to keep them a long way away from our goal."
Guardiola refused to speculate on the participation or not of Real's Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, with the former twice on target in Saturday's 4-0 win over Ossasuna following a minor knee injury and the Welshman missing that game with a flu.
"To me it makes no difference whether Real have Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale available," he said.
Ribery's teammate Arjen Robben said they would not be surprised again by a defensive Real formation.
"Real are coming here with a lot of confidence but they also know that nothing is for free here," Robben told reporters.
"It will not be easy for them. We have to play quickly forward and score but we have to be careful of their counterattacks. We were a bit surprised by how defensive they were in the first leg."
"We are still hungry and we want to make history and reach the final," he said.

Hi everyone, I've been reading the forums for the past 2 weeks, but this is my first post. So far I've made it through a bad latch, cracked nipples, and a small case of mastitis, but I need help with this latest problem.
My 3.5 week old daughter has started cluster feeding for up to 8 hours in the evening. For the past 2 days, she's wanted to nurse from 4pm to midnight. She used to nurse on both sides and then go down for a nap at some point during the day. Now it seems like she just wants to nurse continuously. I know she's probably hitting a growth spurt and that cluster feeding is common, but seriously.... isn't an 8 hour stretch a little bit much for a new mama to handle?
So I have a few questions:
1) Is this long of a stretch of feeding normal? Is there something I could be doing to make her more satisfied after a feeding so that she (and daddy and I) can get some rest? She's literally going back and forth from right to left for the entire 8 hours.
2) Initially during the feeding, her eyes are open and I can hear her swallowing. After about 5-10 minutes, she seems to be sleeping and doing what we call "fake-sucking". I have heard of comfort nursing, but how long should I let that go on? I have tried to break her off and put her down (when it seems like she really is sleeping), but she wakes up crying like I haven't fed her in weeks. Very dramatic. So I guess I'm wondering: should I limit her time on each side? With the fake-sucking she is doing, I feel like she could keep going on one side for hours if I let her. At the same time, I want to make sure she empties my breast as much as possible as to not mess with supply/demand.
3) Is falling asleep at the breast a bad thing? It seems like she doesn't fall asleep unless it's while nursing. Is this a bad habit to get into?
I went out and bought a sling to try and nurse her in... I just can't be confined to the couch for 8 hours a day. I'm going stir crazy!!
I should add, her output is great and her weight went from 6lb 6oz to 7lb 4oz in one week! I think she's well-fed.
Thanks in advance for all the help!!

I didn't notice the "Modern" Part, well the A9home is the most modern RISC OS machine around at this current time.
Though by "Modern" I assume you mean at the speeds of standard CISC processors. Well Intel have recently introduced a 1.2 GHz dual core Xscale proccessor, though if anything will happen in the RISC OS world with it, I don't know.
Even after reading your second comment, a Ł600 IA32 PC would get you some pretty decent hardware. Not a "killer", but enough to run both heavy (!) calculations on and play all but the latest games on.
Let me try to dissect this piece-by-piece, and use "PC" here to mean "low-end IA32-compatible PC with on-board gfx, audio and NIC". I'm not trolling or trying to make any RISC PC look bad, I'm just making a comparison of what I as a customer would get for Ł600 (or $499 + local taxes, it seems) compared to what I'd get going down the IA32 path with a low-end motherboard with integrated gfx and audio.
Gfx? Even looking hard I couldn't find anything IA32 with as little VRAM as the A9 has. 8MB of video RAM isn't even enough to page-flip 1600x1200x24bpp (~=5.5MB) for 2D. Granted, the matching PC would have UMA, but with DDR2 RAM speeds it's still in another division (min VRAM I could find was btw 32MB).
Audio? The PC's today have 5.1 or better, on board, standard. A9 seems to have stereo.
Networking? A9: 10/100Mbps ethernet. In 2007 I'd say that's an order of magnitude too slow when intended for desktop - even for built-in. PC: 1Gbps, standard. The A9 also seems to be so small you can't put another NIC in it, why it can't act neither gateway nor firewall.
CPU? ARM9 arch. at 400MHz (cache unknown) vs. f.ex. a Core2Duo E6600 @ 2.4GHz (L2 cache 4MB).
RAM? A9: 128MB SDRAM (100MHz?). PC: What's the price on DDR2-800MHz today? :-)
For Ł600 (or even 500) we could get a rather kick-ass Core2 (or AMD if you prefer) CPU, motherboard, amount of RAM and more disk than we could shake a stick at.
However, only mentioning performance would be quite unfair, as the PC uses much more power.
A9: apparently 5V 20W external PSU (that also drives the 40GB internal harddisk), and seems to have no fans whatsoever (a very good thing). The PC? 65W CPU, 10W HD, motherboard... coming to think of it I don't know what a mobo of todays uses. 10-20W? I don't know how much loss is in a PSU of today, but the fan's usually are above 1W, why I guesstimate 5W in total for PSU+fan. Together, let's round it off to 100W, or simply five times as much as the A9.
The PC is also usually quite bulky, while the A9... well, compared to a pack of cigarettes it's probably also bulky, but its size is more like todays external USB (pre-built) harddisks.
So I feel I must ask, is the RISC OS platform really just of (mainstream-ish) interest for embedded developers, or the ones more-or-less growing up on it, or are there benefits to it I'm oblivious of?
You can not compare this little machine to CISC PC's.
1. The processor architecture is total different and a lot more efficient.
2. Its OS boots in 10-30 seconds
3. Will last for years beyond any CISC PC, my 10 year old RISC PC is still running fine and is much nicer to use than my new 1.7 Intel Core Duo pc.
4. The A9 its self is not meant to be a contender to desktop systems, though it is still more than adequate to be one.
>The PC is also usually quite bulky, while the A9... >well, compared to a pack of cigarettes it's probably >also bulky, but its size is more like todays external >USB (pre-built) harddisks.
Actually its very light, its like picking up a book of that size.

My father, God rest his soul, was a big Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan. I don't know why, but he was. He wasn't Catholic, he wasn't Irish, he never attended there, he didn't grow up in that part of the nation…it was a puzzler. All he ever said by way of explanation was, "I just like the way they do things there."
I have come to believe that perhaps the main reason he was enamored of Notre Dame has to do with the legacy created at that institution by the legendary player and coach Knute Rockne.
My father, God rest his soul, was a big Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan. I don't know why, but he was. He wasn't Catholic, he wasn't Irish, he never attended there, he didn't grow up in that part of the nation…it was a puzzler. All he ever said by way of explanation was, "I just like the way they do things there."
I have come to believe that perhaps the main reason he was enamored of Notre Dame has to do with the legacy created at that institution by the legendary player and coach Knute Rockne.
I hear of Knute
My initial encounter with the Knute Rockne legacy came when I was in grade school and our family was traveling from Garden City to New Jersey on the Kansas Turnpike between Wichita and Kansas City.
My dad made it a point to pull off the highway near Matfield Green. At that age, any diversion from a long, boring road trip was welcome, and we kids all piled out of the car to see what could be so fascinating at Matfield Green.
For those who don't know, this is where Knute Rockne was killed in a plane crash in 1931. The actual crash site was a few miles north, near Bazaar, Kansas, but the memorial was placed at Matfield Green because, well, that's where the nearest busy highway was.
These days, there is a turnpike rest area there with a fast food restaurant, convenience store and a small museum-like display/memorial to Rockne inside.
As I recall, though, back in the day, there was only a roadside "historical marker" type memorial. In reverential tones, dad tried to convey to us rug-rats the importance of the man who was being commemorated there. Even if we didn't completely understand, we could tell that Rockne had been important to him.
My dad would have been about 9 years old when Rockne went down, and it would have been big national news. Similarly, I was 9 when President Kennedy was killed, and he's always been a big hero to me.
At that young age, my understanding was sketchy and incomplete, but I have always been interested in learning more about JFK throughout my life, because at the impressionable age of 9 it had been a big deal that he was killed. I can see my dad having developed the same type of fascination with Knute Rockne.
Who was Knute?
Rockne was born in 1888 in Norway, emigrating with his family at the age of 5 to live in Chicago. It was there that he learned the game of football that would have such an impact on his life.
After graduation from high school, Rockne worked for four years as a mail dispatcher to earn the money for college.
In those days, there weren't as many grant and loan programs available to students, and many collegians were older than we usually think of college students being, owing to the need to have earned the money for college before attending.
Matriculating Notre Dame at the age of 22, Rockne joined the football team, playing end. His main claim to fame as a player was to popularize the use of the forward pass along with his friend and quarterback Gus Dorais. They didn't "invent" the forward pass, but they did add some new wrinkles to its use that allowed Notre Dame to stun the highly regarded Army team 35-13 in 1913.
Rather than the short pitches and shovel passes that had characterized the passing game hereotofore, Rockne and Dorais practiced the long overhand pass to a receiver who would catch the ball in stride far downfield.
After graduation in 1914, Rockne took a job as a lab assistant and assistant football coach at Notre Dame. In 1918, he was offered the head coaching job, and the Rockne Legend began.
The Rockne Legend
In 13 seasons as head coach of the Fighting Irish, Rockne went 105-12-5, won three national titles and boasted 5 undefeated/untied seasons. He coached famous players like George "the Gipper" Gipp, Frank Leahy who went on to achieve his own fame as a football coach, and Curly Lambeau who pioneered pro football, originating the Green Bay Packer franchise.
Rockne is credited with initiating the backfield shift, wherein his players, collectively referred to as the Four Horsemen, would shift from the T to a box formation. He was also instrumental in redesigning football equipment, decreasing the weight and bulk without sacrificing protectiveness.
He was a tireless promoter of Notre Dame football, recognizing the "show business" aspect of collegiate sports. Ironically, that boosterism would be what led to Rockne's untimely death. He was on his way to Los Angeles from Kansas City, where he had stopped off to visit family, when his plane went down. The purpose of his west coast sojourn was to offer technical advice to a film that was in production, called "The Spirit of Notre Dame."
Probably the most famous incident of Rockne's coaching career was the halftime speech in which he invoked the dying words of former player George Gipp to rally his team from deficit to a come-from-behind win.
In 1920, while still a player at Notre Dame, Gipp died of strep throat, a not uncommon occurrence in the pre-antibiotic days. He is believed to have uttered the following words to Rockne as he lay on his deathbed: "I've got to go, Rock. It's all right. I'm not afraid. Some time, Rock, when the team is up against it, when things are wrong and the breaks are beating the boys, ask them to go in there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock. But I'll know about it, and I'll be happy."
In 1928, trailing Army 6-0 at halftime, Rockne exhorted his team with that story, and the Irish responded with a stirring 12-6 upset of heavily favored Army.
The Rockne way
But all of the accomplishments aside, what makes Knute Rockne special in my mind, and what I believe my dad appreciated about Rockne, was the way he went about his business. He espoused what he called the 25 Commandments that Fighting Irish players were expected to abide by. A look through them is like a primer on old school values, and I mean that as a compliment.
For just a few examples: "1. Scholarship: The player should first be a good student. Do not neglect your studies. Your first purpose should be to get an education. 2. Cooperation: Everyone should work for the common good of the school and the squad. Everyone should boost everyone else; a disorganizer has no place on the squad.
8. Morals: A high standard of living and thinking. 9. Sportsmanship: Good sportsmanship means clean and fair play. Treat your opponent with respect. 19. Remarks: Be careful of your remarks about anyone; if you cannot say something good, say nothing. Talking too much is bad policy.
23. Winning: If you are the rightful winner, be willing to take credit for it, but keep in mind that it was only your time to win and that your winning was probably due to conditions or a reward for your sacrifices; a kind word or a handshake goes a long way toward forming a lasting friendship, and does not change the score."
Anyhow, you get the idea. It makes one wonder what Rockne would make of the current athletic culture of win-at-all-costs, of egregious self-promotion, of trash-talking as a modus operandi, of athletes running amok in society and of coaches putting out bounties to injure other teams' players. Yes, society has changed, but that doesn't mean it has changed for the better.
Win for Rockne
So I think that's why my father liked Notre Dame, he "liked the way they do things there."
For a number of years recently, there have been questions as to whether the Irish could ever win again, continuing to insist their players went to class once in awhile, for example.
It would appear that this year's version of the Fighting Irish has answered that question in the affirmative, being ranked in the top 5 nationally at the time of this writing, while maintaining a 95% graduation rate.
Therefore, I believe that whenever any team has won a game, but more significantly won it by doing things the right way, they have "won one for the Gipper,"…and even more importantly, they have won one for Knute Rockne.
