Penn State
Redacted emails show NCAA bluffed on consent decree
A raft of exhibits in state Sen. Jake Corman's response to the NCAA's continuing call to protect attorney-client privilege in a Commonwealth Court lawsuit might point to a game of chicken leading up to the crushing sanctions against Penn State in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Attorney Matthew Haverstick included in the filing a list of 288 documents that the NCAA claims are privileged information that cannot be presented for review. Also included are three more redacted emails meant to show just why privilege shouldn't be an issue.
In Exhibit B, an email exchange between Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president of academic and membership affairs, and Julie Roe, former director the NCAA's of enforcement division, points to a discussion of how to address the issue of penalizing Penn State.
"I characterized our approach to PSU as a bluff when talking to Mark (Emmert, NCAA president) yesterday afternoon after the call. He basically agreed b/c I think he understands that if we make this an enforcement issue, we may win the immediate battle but lose the war. ... I think he is okay with that risk," Roe wrote.
Lennon had questioned aspects of the discussed plans.
"I know we are banking on the fact (sic) school is so embarrassed they will do anything, but I am not sure about that, and no confidence conference or other members will agree to any of that. This will force the jurisdictional issue that we really don't have a great answer to that one," he wrote.
He also questioned how Penn State was to be penalized for a supposed gain.
"Delicate issue, but how did PSU gain a competitive advantage by what happened?" he asked. Roe responded that the scandal could have damaged the program's ability to recruit.
That was July 14, 2012. Nine days later, the NCAA stripped Penn State of 111 victories, took away four years of postseason play, handcuffed scholarships for the football program and instituted a $60 million fine to go toward helping victims of child sexual abuse.
Exhibit D shows Roe arguing for taking away the victories.
"Vacating records is a penalty available to the NCAA just like postseason bans, scholarship reductions, fines, etc. In this case, vacation of the wins is the right move because Penn State had great success on the field from 1998-2012 and those wins were based on a pristine image which was a lie. As a result, those wins need to be taken away," she wrote to communications Vice President Bob Williams.
Williams, in return, ran proposed language for the NCAA's press release about Penn State perpetuating a football culture and enabling the abuse.
"That gets it," Roe replied.
That was July 21, two days before the sanctions. The email that started the exchange, which included a copy that went to NCAA attorney Donald Remy, was redacted.
The emails and their implications are prompting reactions from those still fighting against the sanctions and the consent decree. In addition to Corman and his attorney, others are interested in seeing the whole text of the emails, including the Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship.
"The recent release of emails proves that the NCAA bluffed Penn State leaders into accepting sanctions which the NCAA had no authority to impose on Penn State." PS4RS spokeswoman Maribeth Roman Schmidt said in an email. "These sanctions have cost the university more than $100 million," she said.
"The trustees involved clearly failed to adequately fulfill their fiduciary duty to Pennsylvania's flagship university and safeguard its assets. We once again, as we did in July 2012, call on these trustees to resign from the board."
Penn State trustee Anthony Lubrano said the disclosure of emails comes as no surprise.
"I have held all along that the NCAA lacked the legal authority to impose any sanctions on Penn State," he said. "Not surprisingly, the NCAA itself believed this as well as evidenced by the emails."
Lubrano said he thinks the email represent the "tip of the iceberg," adding that the NCAA should "acknowledge its mistake and void the consent decree."
The NCAA's day didn't improve when late Wednesday the state Supreme Court handed down a decision in the sports organization's appeal asking for a stay and a writ of prohibition in the Commonwealth Court case.
The court's opinion granted the NCAA permission to file an original process but denied a writ of prohibition that would keep the Commonwealth Court from issuing an opinion and enforcing the Endowment Act, the legislation that would keep the fine money in Pennsylvania.
A third request, for a stay of the Commonwealth Court case, was denied as moot.
Commonwealth Court Judge Anne Covey issued a ruling on the case Friday reaffirming the constitutionality of the Endowment Act.
A trial for the case is scheduled for January.
The NCAA's standard response on issues relating to the litigation has been no comment, but Wednesday, a statement was released about the emails.
"Debate and thorough consideration is central in any organization, and that clearly is reflected in the selectively released emails. The national office staff routinely provides information and counsel to the membership on tough issues. The NCAA carefully examined its authority and responsibility to act in response to the athletics department's role detailed in the Freeh report. Ultimately, advised by all information gathered the Executive Committee determined to act and move forward with the Consent Decree," the NCAA said on its website.
The head of the executive committee at that time was Ed Ray, president of Oregon State University. Ray said in 2012 interviews that the death penalty for the Nittany Lions football program was not on the table.

BBG reader Kym paid legitimately for her e-books, but now the e-books don't work because the DRM behind them is dead.
I refuse to buy another darn ebook until I have unfettered access to the thing and as an engineer I'm DYING to have a good solution so I can read digitally and carry my library with me, but until DRM is GONE or there is a good way around it, forget it. I don't trust anything if it has DRM, at some point I'm going to be locked out of it and the hassle involved in getting it unlocked is too much. I've tried all sorts of tech support trying to get these existing ebooks to open and when microsoft's reader updated a few years ago, it is a lost cause, I cannot get them open. It is beyond aggravating.
I've never used any e-book DRM and don't know jack about it. What's the insider advice on defeating dead systems?
The part that aggravates me is how content providers screw over those who actually give them money. Such behavior is an advertisment for piracy as the only way to be sure you're getting a durable, quality product. Take, for example, Wal-Mart: rather than give the DRM keys to their customers now that it's killing the entire system anyway, it instead issues self-serving advice like "burn your tracks to CD and then re-rip them." This is expensive, time-consuming and likely to result in recompressing compressed data, which seriously reduces audio quality.
Kym, maybe tell us a bit more about your ebooks, in case someone out there has a direct fix for your particular cut of cloth.

Earth Day And The Arctic, Where Climate Change Is Up Close And Personal
LAPLAND, Finland -- For dogsled guide Marco Echola, the massive disruptions wrought by global climate change are not an abstract concept. One night last month on a trek across the Arctic Circle, as the Aurora Borealis lit the frigid landscape of snow-covered lakes and forests, several of his huskies got loose. They were able to slip out of their collars because their fur had started to thin, which typically does not happen until much later in the year. "It's too early for shedding," Echola said.
The canine escapade is one of many strange anomalies in the new Arctic Circle, where evidence of climate change goes beyond such obvious events as melting glaciers, stranded polar bears and rain in February. As the world celebrates Earth Day, the top of the world offers a unique window on the sometimes unforeseen consequences of global warming, in which familiar meteorological patterns no longer apply.

We are always looking to grow our team! Whether you are wanting to play an instrument in the band, be developed as a worship leader, serve as a sound engineer, or work in media, we would love to create a space for you to use your gifts. To aid in this, we've created a four step process to get you fully integrated into our ministry!
Step 1: Church Partnership
The first step to serving as musician or vocalist at ONElife Church is to become a Church Partner. The church offers a four-week course on Church Partnership on a quarterly basis. Click here for more information.
Step 2: Video Audition
Upon becoming a Partner of ONElife Church, the next step is to submit a video audition. Don't stress! We don't expect this to be anything extravagant, in terms audio or video production, this is just to help us gauge where your skill level is at so we know how to best serve you moving forward. (Feel free to use your smartphone!)
Click here for further instruction on auditons.
Step 3: Meeting with Worship Pastor
Upon receiving your video audition, our Leadership Team will review it and our Worship Pastor will schedule a meeting with you to discuss what the team observed. Practically speaking, this works its way out in one of three ways:
Step 4: The Radical Worship Solution
Once you have become a Partner, submitted your video audition, and met with the Worship Pastor, the final step is to purchase The Radical Worship Solution by Austin Ryan. (This book is available at ONElife Church's Next Step Booth on Sunday mornings at a discounted rate of $10.) As you complete each chapter, please write a few sentences sharing what you learned, were challenged by, found insightful, etc. (Nothing needed for Chapter 1.) Once you have finished the book, please e-mail a document with your insights from each chapter to firstname.lastname@example.com.
...Why So Many Steps?
There is a chance that our four-step process is a little more thorough than what you are accustomed to, but there's a very intentional reason for that! We believe each person who is a part of this ministry is a worship leader (whether they're playing bass, running sound, or leading a song vocally). Therefore, we want to make sure each person is:
We believe your completion of our four-step process for joining the team is the best way to demonstrate each of these traits.

Sexuality belongs to each individual and is here for his or her joy and pleasure and when emotionally and socially ready for procreation. However, while I have sexual energy, I am not my sexuality. This statement can be a source of confusion but actually the real confusion is to enmesh my sexuality with my person. This is true for all the self-expressions, so it follows that:
- I have a body but I'm not my body
- I have feelings but I'm not my feelings
- I have sexual energy but I'm not my sexual energy
- I have thoughts but I'm not my thoughts
- I engage in behaviours but I'm not my behaviours
- I long to belong but I'm not my longings
- I create many things but I'm not my creations
- I have spiritual experiences but I'm not my spiritual experiences
The enmeshment with self with any one of its expressions indicates a disconnection from my real self and an obsession or addiction to the particular expression with which I am most identified. So, for example, there are many young and, indeed, older women, who identify with their bodies and go to extremes – cosmetic surgery, strict diet, intense exercise regimens, liposuction – in order to have the 'perfect' body. A similar phenomenon is beginning to emerge for young men. Certainly, enjoy your body, look after it, feed it wholesome food, rest it, keep it fit, but all in moderation.
Another example arises with spiritual self-expression; it is wonderful to experience transcendence – a peace and tranquillity, a silence that is timeless – but the danger when I become addicted to having such experiences I engage in what has become known as spiritual materialism. What transpires is that I neglect all else in pursuit of spiritual ecstasy and lose connection with the true source of spirituality – my unique being.
Similarly, if I feel my sexuality is my way of getting seen in this world or it has become a substitute for the joy of being unconditionally loved, then I become obsessed with pornography, seduction, orgasm and driven to have sexual conquest after sexual conquest. There is no peace or security when I confuse my person with anything that I feel, think, say and do. Enjoy your sexual energy, share it respectfully with another, but be sure you haven't lost connection with your authentic self in a sea of sexual obsession.
There is a fundamental belief underpinning the foregoing: it is not what I do or don't do, it is not how I do it or don't do it, it is not with whom I do it or don't do it, it is who I bring to it. The who – my soul, my deep emotional self – is the crucial issue. So, if I'm physically hugging someone or sexually engaged with myself or another or expressing a feeling or thinking or talking about a particular idea or cooking a meal or having a relationship with someone or writing a book or engaging in deep meditation, who is present is the essential question. When I'm separate from all the self-expressions – not identified with any one of them – I am present; when I'm enmeshed with any one or more of the self-expressions, the self is absent, hidden behind the defensive walls of possession, obsession, confusion and unrequited longings.
There are two other confusions to be considered: sexuality with sexual behaviour and sexuality with another's attraction to you. There exist the protective beliefs that unless somebody out there finds me sexy then I'm not sexual and if I have not engaged in sexual interaction with another I'm not sexual! Having been celibate for 7 years of my life did not mean I was not sexual. On the contrary, sexuality is there, whether I'm sexually active or not or whether or not somebody finds me sexually attractive. Individuals can suffer greatly when they are waiting for another to make them feel sexual and can feel tremendously let down – even suicidal – when, as they perceive it, the other rejects them. However, what another person says is about him or her and not about the other! It is authentic for another person to say "I don't feel sexually attracted to you". Attraction to another is defined by many factors –mostly unconscious – and all to do with the person himself or herself. The reality is that when a person personalises what another says he or she manifests the inner confusion of sexuality being determined by another seeing him or her as sexually attractive and there is work to be done to resolve this unhappy confusion.
The truth is that attractiveness is a given and it is up to each one of us to live out of that place and not be waiting for another to ignite us. When we struggle with accepting our own attractiveness, there is a sad story that explains how that came about and the source is in early relationships. The challenge here and now is to find your own unconditional holding of self or if this proves too threatening, to seek out a mature professional who can provide the unconditional holding for you to realise your inherent attractiveness.
Dr. Tony Humphreys is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Author and International and National Speaker. A course on Authentic Sexual Self-Expression has been devised by Dr. Helen Ruddle, Counselling Psychologist and Author and herself and her trained associates are available to provide the course.

Even though last week was my kid's spring break from school, I've managed to write about some pretty interesting stuff over at Babble in the last month or so. Some of my favorites are:
The Tauntaun Sleeping Bag. The Empire Strikes Back's favorite beast of burden made into a kid's sleeping bag. And I thought they felt cozy on the outside.
Boy-rettes. Alterna-hipster boys with long hair need something cool to keep their long hair out of their eyes. And while I know I shouldn't have a problem with this, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me that this didn't rub the wrong way.
The Kata 3N1 Camera Bag. Easily the best camera bag for parents I've ever tried. If you've got a DSLR and kids then you need one.
The Snuglette. It's the Snuggie - the blanket with arm holes - for kids. With an equally bizarre television commercial.
Octomom Scultpture (pictured). This is just nuts. And creepy. And funny. And art?

Here's a favorite for home-made stuffing:
Homemade Country Pork Sausage Stuffing
- 1 loaf bread (any bread will do)
- 1 pound country pork sausage
- 1 large white/yellow onion, diced
- 6 cloves garlic
- celery stalks, diced (maybe 2-3 stalks total)
- 1 large apple, cored and diced
- 1/2 cup raisins (white or red are lovely)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- FINN ANGLER SALTOPIA Infused Sea Salt (to taste)
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups turkey drippings from roasting pan (or 1 1/2 cup chicken stock)
- 1/2 cup white wine
- seeds or nuts optional (pine nuts or sunflower seeds are a nice addition...as well as walnuts)
1. Cut bread into 1 inch cubes. Toast until brown on baking sheet. Set aside in a large mixing bowl. (note: You can make the toast cubes 1 -2 days in advance and then keep in a paper bag.) 2. In a large pan, sauté the pork, onions, apple, celery and garlic on medium low heat until pork is cooked through. Toss this mixture into the toast cubes in the large mixing bowl. 3. Add raisins, cranberries to the mixture and set bowl aside. 4. In a separate pot, combine your stock, butter and white wine. Allow the butter to melt thoroughly. Once melted, pour the liquid over the stuffing mix. Season with FINN ANGLER sea salt to taste. 5. Put the stuffing back into a baking pan, cover with foil and "warm" as needed before serving. Feel free to add additional stock if the stuffing seems too dry. Your bread choice will affect the amount of stock in the end.

I don't want to get into too many details, but let's just say this moment involved the Warriors, a tense and extremely important playoff game… and a very poorly timed mechanical foul-up at the newspaper.
Nobody's fault. These things happen. (More and more often.) What can you do?
Sportswriters on deadline learn to roll with it, type as rapidly as possible, hopefully get the final score correct, pretend that readers understand what we just went through and why the stories in the paper look so discombobulated, and live for another day.
But no. This time I had a very different and enduring reaction: the readers deserved more than they got. Much more.
And this hit me hardest of all: I'm sure the readers absolutely knew they deserved more than what my newspaper (and I) could deliver to them on that fevered night and into the morning.
I also don't want to say that this was the moment I decided I was leaving the Mercury News to become the editor-in-chief of The Athletic's new San Francisco Bay Area operation…
But it actually really was.
Not just that night, of course. I'm at The Athletic now because co-founders Alex Mather and Adam Hansmann drew up this vision of a subscription-based sportswriting venture, proved it could work in Chicago, Toronto, Cleveland and Detroit, and had smart answers for every possible question I could fire at them.
This isn't just a fun little sports adventure without a financial plan. This is The Financial Plan As Reality – money paid directly through subscriptions, funding great journalism – carrying along sportswriting.
Alex and Adam believe in this and they've convinced me of this, whole-heartedly.
On that playoff night, I still was at the newspaper, though. Still writing those columns and blogs and doing the podcasts and trying to figure out how we were going to survive another day or month or year.
I was intrigued by The Athletic, but I wasn't all the way there yet. I wanted to go to The Athletic, but I needed one more shove over the dividing line.
And after all those accumulated conversations, and the drip-drip-drip draining away of the newspaper industry… came the big playoff game, the mechanical foul-up, the homes that did not get their paper that morning, the sad knowledge that this would keep happening… and the end of this stage of my career.
It wasn't about me, so much, not really.
It was about having the chance to deliver on sports journalism's implied promise to the most passionate fans and most passionate readers — who happen to be my industry's most passionate customers.
A full promise: We will work to ask the right questions, come up with the best answers, provide you the information and analysis, and we will get it to you when you want it.
That's the promise. If enough readers agree to this, and if we deliver, the economic model works.
Meanwhile, the newspaper model (printing presses, delivery trucks, a disappearing audience, a thinning presence, piece-meal attempts at digital economics) is getting torn to shreds and it will not be re-made except at the highest level — the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and maybe a few others.
That's what dawned on me on that night.
It's about writing the best stuff I can and making sure the readers who want it can get it. They can also complain to me about it, and often do, but that's all part of the give-and-take of honest writing, in my opinion.
The Athletic is the new thing. The direct line. The next step. The evolution of sportswriting.
And I believe 2017 is a threshold moment for everybody—not just because we're opening in the Bay Area, but because people across North America can sense that this is where journalism is going, and has to go.
So how could I turn this down now? I couldn't.
Really, this is sportswriting with a start-up sensibility.
When I first started talking to Adam and Alex — who come from Strava, the wonderful high-performance cycling and running app and website — everything just sounded right. Right time, right idea, right financial plan, right sense of what was important and valuable.
Then I realized what Dejan Kovacevic has been doing since 2015 with DK Pittsburgh Sports, the first bold step into the sports-subscription universe, and now I see Greg Bedard's Boston Sports Journal, which debuted just a little over a week ago.
And every new day proved to me that all of this is here to stay. The Athletic opened in Chicago, then Toronto, then Cleveland, then Detroit, now here in the Bay Area, and next up is Philadelphia and national sites for college football (led by Stewart Mandel) and basketball (led by Seth Davis).
This is happening. And now comes the Bay Area.
We will do things that newspapers used to do, and we will do some things that newspapers never tried to do.
We will be a mix of columns, essays, hard reporting, Q & A's with newsmakers, thoughtful analysis and creative re-thinking of some of the traditional methods and conclusions.
We want to be lively, but not unruly. We want to be provocative, but not unfair.
We want to be everywhere something important is happening — we are going to China for the Warriors' preseason games, for instance, that's a promise — but we won't just go to the regular places that everybody has always gone just because it has always been done that way.
We want to attract as many readers — and subscribers — as possible, but we want nothing to do with click-bait and empty-calorie aggregation journalism.
We want to make money, but we won't do it by pivoting to video or lacing our stories with pop-up ads.
Let me repeat: NO POP-UP ADS.
We want to do things differently, but with the highest standards of what you're used to seeing in the best of sportswriting.
Oh, and to do this, I wanted to make sure I had the best co-pilot possible, and happily for all of us, Marcus Thompson II joined me in this venture, which should underline exactly the kind of sportswriting and sports approach that we are set to produce.
We will cover the Warriors better than anybody. That's a statement I don't mind making. We will continue to do our Warriors podcast, we will bring you the voices from the locker room, the management and the coaching staff, we will be covering this historic team just as thoroughly as Marcus and I have done for more than a decade.
Shortly, we will announce other full-time staffers; the 49ers and the Warriors are our major focus points to start, but we will also be covering the Raiders, Giants, A's, Sharks, Earthquakes and local colleges.
We'll have great contributors like Danny Leroux, Phil Taylor, John Middlekauff, Lisa Olson, Eno Sarris, Rob Arthur, Mychael Urban, Melissa Lockard, Dieter Kurtenbach, Steve Berman, David Pollak, David Lombardi, Ross McKeon, Michelle Smith, Art Spander and many more.
We promise that we will eventually cover everything important in Bay Area sports, and I hope you keep us to that.
I'm done retreating and I guarantee you The Athletic isn't anything resembling a retreat.
I'm done with writing under a red alert, watching my industry drain away, skipping from one crisis to the next to the next to what we all know is coming soon and inevitably enough.
I think readers can sense all of this, too. I think readers see it happening every day as their newspapers shrink, staffers disappear, and the desperation becomes palpable.
I'm done trying to calculate the exact moment when the biggest financial pooh-bahs will decide it really isn't worth it any more, though I have a better guess about this with every new day.
So I'm more than ready for The Athletic San Francisco Bay Area, and I am guessing that you are, too. I know you are, actually.
I think we can all feel this. I am guessing that we are all extremely ready for this next logical and necessary step in thoughtful, reported, fair-minded, analytical Bay Area sports journalism.
If you are, come along with us. I think it will be well worth the 20 cents a day.
I can't promise you will love everything we write and say — especially me — but I can tell you that we will connect you to your favorite teams and players, and connect you with us, too. We're not going away. We're not ceding ground. We're the next step, and you can take it with us for $3.49/month.
We promise.

Stephanie Langol
Finance Manager
Stephanie is Thread's first full-time in-house Finance Manager, "Keeper of the Numbers" if you will. She handles all things accounting and finance from paying the bills to processing payroll to keeping everyone on budget. Stephanie brings over 20 years of accounting experience to Thread from a part-time bookkeeper's assistant in high school, to her first post-college job as an A/P Clerk and all the way up to CPA accounting/audit/tax. After taking a brief break from number crunching to have her kiddos, Stephanie was eager to fill this role at Thread because she wanted more than a paycheck. Thread provides an opportunity to be a part of something great in this world.
- Bachelor of Science in Business with a Marketing Concentration from The Pennsylvania State University
- Accounting Certificate from Robert Morris University
What are you known for professionally? What do you have a knack for?
I love, love, love to organize!! Give me a mess and watch me go. My favorite wedding gift was a label maker (which was meant to be a joke) from my soon-to-be sister-in-law. I also pride myself on a perfectly reconciled general ledger. If it's off a penny, I WILL find it!
What are you most passionate about professionally? What most excites you about your work & the contribution you can make?
I want to understand my role in the big picture and know that my hours pored over debits, credits and spreadsheets really make a difference for the business. I want the value I add to the business to be irreplaceable. Working for an organization that is striving for something more than profit gives me the warm and fuzzies. Thread's mission and purpose gives me more purpose.
What are you passionate about personally? What do you really enjoy? What can't you stop talking about?
I am a wife and mother of two small boys so keeping them happy and healthy is my top priority. Finding time to grow spiritually and therefore become a better person everyday is critical to me. I believe self-awareness is rare in this self-absorbed world so I try to always be mindful of how my thoughts, words or actions will impact those around me. I bleed blue from my days at Penn State and can't wait for one or both of my boys to play some type of sport there so I can become THAT mom, you know which one I'm talking about. I also have a passion for high heels, and may or may not make routine trips to NYC to indulge in some red-soled shoe shopping because as Manolo Blahnik said, "Shoes can transform a woman."
How do you want to be remembered?
I want to be remembered for honoring God by loving others as myself. Living a life devoted to other people's happiness over my own. And raising Jack and Sam to be good men that treat others the way they want to be treated and make a difference in the world no matter how big or small.

Day 6.1: Hiking Franz Josef Glacier
Road tripping is cool in the sense that you get to see a LOT of the country. Being stuck in a car all day is not so cool. Whenever you road trip in another country - try to do one capstone adventure.
This is Day 6 (Part 1) of NZ in a Little Over a Week. If you haven't already, check out Day 5 - Picton to Greymouth.
Why You Should Hike Franz Josef Glacier
- It's in a temperate rain forest, which means it's actually not that cold
Our tour guide was in shorts.
- You can drink the glacier water. Being stuck in a car all day makes you crazy.
- You get your workout in - ISH.
- The glacier was advancing until 2008, but now has entered a rate of rapid retreat.
- They give you the hear you need: jacket, pants, gloves.
- It's a once in a lifetime experience.
Here's a morning on the glacier with Franz Josef Glacier Guides.
You thought I would forget about brunch and coffee? No chance.
Get Coffee and Brunch at Full of Beans. The coffee isn't great, but their breakfast is decent. Also, you don't really have a choice - there's not much in this little town.
Despite the name of the cafe, the coffee tasted quite weak. On a more positive note, I love getting roast tomatoes with my poached eggs. I would NOT recommend getting the veggie eggs benny because the spinach is a choking hazard. Go all in and get the bacon.
The town of Franz Josef Glacier is quite cute. You can see the surrounding mountains and it feels like you're in a little ski town.
Franz Josef Glacier.
After changing into your gear, you walk through a humid rain forest and walk up to an empty field where you wait in line for a helicopter. Fortunately, they give you a fanny pack where you can store electronic devices galore.
The little speck in the middle is YOU on a helicopter.
Below is your typical postcard of Franz Josef Glacier.
When you land, it looks like you're at some ski resort. However, when you actually step down on the ground, it's clear you're on a giant block of ice. Bizarre.
These lovely shoes are crampons. It's what you'll be wearing for your trek across the ice. If you're good at putting these on, you will be asked to help others.
The hike is not strenuous, but there is potential to slip & fall.
After 3 hours, you take a picturesque helicopter ride back and are back on dry, firm land.
Pro Tips
I would highly recommend bringing your own pair of gloves. The mittens (although super soft) will become a sloppy mess when wet.
Bring sunglasses- and ones that will actually stay on your face.
Make sure you bring a snack with you to store in the cubby for after the glacier hike. Something you can eat right after. This will prevent glacier madness.
Bring a camera (duh).

BERWYN BOMB- VW Spindle Car with Rubber Chicken Flinger Inside
BERWYN BOMB- VW Spindle Car with Rubber Chicken Flinger Inside
One for the hood! I wager this is the only Berwyn Bath Bomb out there. Berwyn Betty is proud of our little western Chicago suburb. We are old school with a thriving artistic scene.
So what exactly is a Berwyn bomb-? Red VW bug car from the top of the car spindle (photo attached). Inside is a rubber chicken flinger toy. From native son Svengolie's Saturday night horror show. Currently this bath bomb is scented to smell like marachino cherry. Soon, it will be scented to smell like fresh baked bread - just like our beloved Turano bakery on Roosevelt Road.
How do bath bombs work? You toss one of these into a tub of water. The bomb fizzles and bubbles for a few minutes, releasing scent, color and nourishing oils into the water. As the bomb melts away, the surprise toys begin to appear.
Bomb is shrink wrapped and labelled with logo and ingredient stickers.
novelty gift from the city we love.
a whopping 9.5 oz. each
All toys are purchased at retail price to create a finished product. Berwyn Betty is not affiliated with the companies that create these toys. Berwyn Betty does not own the rights to any licensed toys in our products. The rights belong to the companies that own the trademark/rights. WE are not affiliated with the U (television), meTV, the Berwyn spindle or Svengolie.

The Fourth Pillar was published in early 2001. In it, Jon Hawkes proposed a way of bringing community discourse on shared values into the regular processes of public policy making.
He argued that a cultural (the social production of meaning) perspective would facilitate this activity.
'Fourth Pillar thinking' has been embraced, in varying degrees, in Canada, New Zealand and in some parts of the European community.
Nevertheless, the value of a cultural perspective still appears largely unappreciated, not least because of continuing confusion between 'culture' and 'the arts'.
Since I wrote the Fourth Pillar, I've been attempting to produce material that clarifies what I believe are useful distinctions in the ways we envisage how we make meaning, and to extend the debate on matters creative, artistic and cultural.
This site, generously built by the Cultural Development Network, is designed to give you and me the opportunity to develop more articulate expressions of the ways that cultural action can support the development of societies whose members are engaged and empowered.
Has a consciousness of how social meaning is constructed through public planning processes developed among those who do it?
Has the essential contribution of regular, participatory and collaborative community-based creative activities to the well-being and sustainability of society been recognised by our representatives?
Join the debate on these and many other essential issues by wandering through this site, or check out some of the stuff I've been producing since the original book(let).

Our Story
The London family moved to Woodside, California from living in Atherton, California for 23 years. We searched for a Woodside location that would meet the ideal conditions where a vineyard thrives. Basically, the major criteria are: 1. Excellent soils conducive for grape growing; 2. A protected open sunny area with the necessary "degree days" for our selected varietals; 3. A gentle slope for required drainage; and 4. Facing south for maximum sun intensity.
After finding the location, we consulted with University of California, Davis and Fresno State University in their Departments of Agriculture/Viticulture. They were very helpful in the planning and did tests on: 1. Average Degree Days in the specific location, 2. Complete soil analysis, 3. Matching the results of these tests with the Varietals and the best suited root-stocks.
After much discussion with both University viticulture groups, we chose Zinfandel and Merlot. We also used the root stock graft of Primativo 03/101-14MG for the Zinfandel and G-ME81LW01 for the Merlot.
We planted the two-acre vineyard in the spring of 2004 on a 5 X 8 plan (8 foot wide rows; 5 foot separation of vines). The vines were trained to a bi-lateral structure of trellis (typical for Woodside sun intensity). The trellis scheme was an individual support post for each vine with two lateral arms and four wires to support the canes.
We also discovered that our location that we chose was formerly planted with grapes from one of the first wineries in the Bay Area, the La Questa Winery in 1890. Its foundation remnants are still standing on the east side of our property. Hence, we were very confident that grapes would do well here!
Our street is appropriately named "Vintage Court" because of its history.

IPTL 2016: Indian Aces end Japan leg with a loss to UAE
2014 IPTL champions Indian Aces ended their Japan leg on a disastrous note as they succumbed to a 20-30 defeat to the UAE Royals at the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo on Sunday. A day after a nail-biting victory over the reigning champions Singapore Slammers, the Aces could not keep up that form and suffered their first loss of the season.
After going down to the hosts Japan Warriors on Day 2, the Royals came prepared for this as they did not lose a single set out of the five the two contested.
Here's how the tie unfolded:
Legends' Singles
It started off with a battle of contrasting styles between Royals' Australian Open champion Thomas Johansson and Aces' Wimbledon and US Open runner-up Mark Philippoussis. There were absolutely no nerves for the Swede even on his debut and he smartly manoeuvred his way to an early break to keep the dangerous 'Scud' under pressure right from the beginning.
Exquisite serve-and-volleying saw Johansson get to 4-2 as his Australian opponent failed to disrupt his rhythm. The big server finally managed to secure a break in the eighth game but by then it was too late. Johansson wrapped it up 6-3 to give his team a great start.
Result: Thomas Johansson (UAE Royals) bt Mark Philippoussis 6-3 (Indian Aces)
Women's Singles
Two women known for their finesse and guile crossed swords in the women's singles face-off. Royals' Martina Hingis, who was routed by Japan's Jelena Jankovic yesterday, took on the court against the Aces' comeback queen Kirsten Flipkens.
An absorbing encounter was always on the cards and the crowd was not disappointed. The Belgian, though, made in-roads early in Hingis's serve only to see the Swiss Miss level things in no time!
It was an evenly-matched game till 3-3 replete with beautiful shotmaking but the five-time singles Grand Slam winner knew when to raise her level. She has reigned supreme at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo five times during her singles playing days and the 36-year-old summoned some of that courage to sail away to a 6-4 win.
Result: Martina Hingis (UAE Royals) bt Kirsten Flipkens 6-4 (Indian Aces)
Mixed Doubles
A Sania Mirza vs Martina Hingis contest is always a must-watch affair after the phenomenal success the two had during their incredible partnership. However, the duel did not live up to its billing this time.
Hingis paired up with Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas, who is ranked 34th in doubles, besides being an accomplished top-25 singles player. The two made seamless progress against the dangerous Aces duo of Rohan Bopanna and Mirza to extend the Royals' lead further.
Using the Power Point effectively, the Swiss-Uruguayan combine raced to a 2-1 lead by breaking serve. One more break saw the Royals pair cruise to 5-2 and looking comfortable for a triumph.
The Indians, however, didn't make things that easy for them towards the end and they reduced the deficit to 4-5 through a barrage of booming serves from Bopanna. The Royals held their nerves to stave off the late challenge and grab the set, 6-4.
Result: Hingis/Cuevas (UAE Royals) bt Mirza/Bopanna 6-4 (Indian Aces)
Men's Singles
Feliciano Lopez and Tomas Berdych are locked at 6-6 in their head-to-head record. For those who expected a clash between these two players to be one thrilling encounter, could not have been at fault.
Instead what they got was a lacklustre display by the Aces' Lopez that bolstered the already soaring Royals' confidence further. The Spanish left-hander was not at his best and crumbled as early as the fourth game to concede a huge 3-1 advantage to the Czech due to a double fault.
World No. 10 Berdych is not someone to squander such a big opportunity. He produced some dazzling returns to dash all hopes of a Lopez comeback and bagged the set 6-3.
Result: Tomas Berdych (UAE Royals) bt Feliciano Lopez 6-3 (Indian Aces)
Men's Doubles
The final set of the day turned out to be engrossing with both pairs – Aces' Bopanna/Lopez and Royals' Cuevas/Daniel Nestor – putting in some brilliant shotmaking. The competitive set made up for all the one-sided sets the spectators had watched early on in the day.
The two teams – both with left hand-right hand combinations – had the right weapons to nullify each other and thus remained evenly-matched till 5-5 before it went to a shootout.
With the shootout having gone the Aces' way, overtime ensued. That eventually ended with the two pairs tied at a sizzling 6-6 to hand over a fantastic overall win to the Royals.
The victory helped the Royals jump to the top of the table.
Result: Nestor/Cuevas (UAE Royals) 6-6 Bopanna/Lopez (Indian Aces)
Overall result: UAE Royals bt Indian Aces 30-20

Land Conflicts and Indigenous Lands/
The Panamanian newspaper La Prensa recently ran an article about the Embera/Wounaan closing the Pan-American highway in the Darien. The block was a reaction to the Panamananian government's failure to evict squatters from the reservation of our indigenous partner community Arimae.
Arimae has about 8000 hectares of land designated as communally owned, i.e. the community as a whole owns the land instead of individual land titles. Through a well established internal management plan, Arimae allocates part of the land to its individual members for homesteading/agriculture, and the rest to projects that benefit the entire community.
Squatters mostly nibble away at the fringes of Arimae's forested reservation, but some have been so bold as to plunge into the heart of this rainforest with chainsaws and matches. They do this with the expectation that the Panamanian government will recognize their "squatter's rights", and eventually offer them a clean title. While this encroachment is technically illegal, the squatters understand that demonstrating "productive use" of the land builds their case for eventual ownership. The majority of these squatters already owned land previously, but chose to sell it and take the chance of squatting on another piece of land.
While we don't directly involve ourselves with these disputes (our trees are planted far from where squatting is a problem) Arimae has used our land lease payments to cover legal expenses related to the land dispute.
We will continue to support Arimae's struggle to secure its reservation from illegal squatters. Our investors play a crucial role, as well. By owning forest investments that make more sustainable "productive use" of their land, you're helping Arimae build the case to the Panamanian government to take action.

The cigarette burns out in his beard,
that remnant of the soul remaining,
embers dripping
to the cold hard ground below,
ground that drinks death and bleeds life.
The men,
their faces have become battlefields,
so much hidden between every scar.
The boys,
their faces have been painted over;
never will they be young again.
the ones who fight battles inside.
the one who cannot stop making more armies.
The line between love and hate blurs,
becomes passion,
becomes a thing I guard against.
In the night, when I hear the bombs of my own deeds
the gunshots of my words,
reverberating in my head,
I want to return,
to make something of myself on that field,
or else,
to be eliminated.

Next Generation Science Standard Connection
In this lesson I allow the class to carry out an investigation that I plan for them. They are going to learn that light travels through water even as the water is moving. In previous investigations we have passed white light through water that is still in a glass. So, today the class learns about how light will pass through moving water. I found this experiment as I was searching for ideas to help my class learn that light travels through water from this website.
This is the last lesson in my light unit before we begin our culminating activity. We studied how light can reflect, bend, and how the color of the material determines if the light will pass through. We have investigated with concrete blocks, wood, wax paper, white paper, colored paper, gummy bears, gummy worms, and water.
Lesson Overview
The lesson begins in the lounge area where I excite the class, and we move to their desks for the explore, and explain section. If you are short on time the explain section is a nice place to stop, and start again with the elaborate section. The elaborate section takes place in the center of the room where the class is seated in groups of four. The last section of the lesson takes place in the lounge, because it is a nice place to close the lesson. These transitions are really helpful in keeping the class on task, because they get to move around often. So, they are basically getting frequent brain breaks as they move.
The other thing I like to do is partner my students with a heterogeneous partner. They work with partner to read, write, and talk about their investigation. This makes sure everyone can participate, because they help each other. It also provides for a nice classroom atmosphere. The students are seated in assigned seats beside each other throughout the lesson.
As the lesson begins we meet in the lounge and I try to accomplish three things. I need to excite the class, assess their prior knowledge, and let the students know the plan for the lesson.
I begin exciting my students by projecting the lesson image on the Smart Board. I just say, "Please take a look at the Smart Board, and think about a time when you saw a water fountain." This simply activates my students thinking, and just gets them reflecting upon their own experiences with fountains.
Now they students are thinking about when they have seen or used a fountain, I need to assess the class to determine if they already know what I am going to teach them today. So, I say, "Talk to your partner about the times when you have seen or used a water fountain." I expect somebody to say, "We have a water fountain in our room." Then I ask a follow up question by saying, "Tell your partner what will happen to the light passing through the moving water?" I listen and allow the students to share: partner talk what they know. If somebody does know a great deal about the lesson I allow them to share, because this creates a more meaningful learning experience. Students really appreciate learning from their peers.
Last, I share the plan, because it focuses the class on what we are going to learn about. It also helps them follow directions and persevere through a lengthy lesson. I say, "Today we are going to learn about how light travels through moving water."
Now, I have the class transition, and move to the desks in the center of the room. This lesson has two components. The students fill out their science journal, and carry out the investigation that I have planned.
I first project the model of the science journal on their board, and I explain that we are going to do this investigation described in the plan. Then I say, "Copy down this information, and begin following the directions. You need to work with your partner to do you investigation. Go ahead and get your materials off the table, and record what happens when the light moves through the moving water." I turn off the lights in the room, so when the students finish copying down the plan they can begin investigating.
Students need support as they begin following instructions and I have a video that show how I help my ELL follow the instructions. I have two videos of the students engaging in their initial exploration: exploring take 1. Then they decided to add to the design and I also have a video: exploring take 2 of the investigation.
At this point I want to get the students expressing their observations verbally with the other group at their table, and I want the class to really engage in scientific discourse. This teaches my students to talk about scientific ideas. Then, I engage the class in a whole group conversation, because I am trying to teach my students to share what they learn. As they share what they learn I also hope they begin to build upon the ideas of their peers.
I begin by saying, "Tell the other group what happened when light passes through moving water." Next, I listen, and make sure everyone is talking about their fountain. I hope my students say, "The light is in the moving water, and I saw it in the bucket as the water moved down." It usually takes the students about one minute to finish their conversation. Then, I say, "If you and the group opposite the table as you find something different you may redo the experiment or just talk about why you saw different things." When I see a group not communicating I stop and ask, "What did you record for your observations?" This prompt just gets the students started talking.
Last, we engage in a whole class discussion where the students share: sharing whole group their experience and add to what their peers say. I say, "Will a volunteer share what they saw?" Then I listen, and ask, "Will somebody add to that?" Again I listen hoping to hear comments like, "The light is moving down as the water moves down." I find this is a great way to help students learn to collaborate and share their knowledge. Plus talking about their observations helps students remember what they learned.
Now, I know my students are wanting more of an explanation. So, I say, "What are you wondering?" This helps students generate their own questions. They are going to say, "Why does that happen?" I then say, "Please record your question."
So, I give each child a copy of the text, and read the class this text three times. Then I say, "Now do you know why light passes through the running water?" Record your answer under your question. I say, "You can share your answer in the lounge. You reread and underline the answer, because this can help you spell."
We now move to the lounge, and I let the class share their answer to their question: presentation. First, I need to get the class ready to listen, so I use a fun chant to get them settled by calling out what I want them to do. We all chant, "Criss cross, apple sauce pockets on the floor, hands in your laps, talking no more." Then I add, "Your eyes are on the speaker and you are listening to what they say, so you can give them peers feedback." Here is an example of peer evaluation or peer feedback.
Then I use my spreadsheet of all my students names to check off who's turn it is to share their answer to the question. Then I call on them and ask them to share in front of the class. After the student shares I ask, "Will a volunteer add to or give them feedback?" Then I listen. If nobody can give feedback then I model verbal feedback.
Finally, the students assess their own work using a rubric I created. Then they trade with their partner and evaluate their partner's work. Sometimes I check their work: proficient work and below basic work after school to save time. This rubric is helpful in math as well, because it brings a real life scenario to the table of using fractions. The class really get parts and wholes as well, because they know they record how many they got right above how many there were possible.

I took a day of spring break today to clean out the pantry and decided I needed to share my ideas and possible get some new ones (yes! Please!) This is still one of my favorite parts of our recent kitchen remodel. When we bought our house it had a tiny kitchen and no pantry. So when we did the remodel that was a must! First of all I love how it blends in with the rest of the kitchen. We didn't want to waste the space framing a door so we built it out of bodbyn Ikea cabinets and used three doors to make the long pantry door.
Next I built floating shelves and painted them to match the cabinets (bm paper mache). I used the instructions herehttps://sawdustgirl.com/pantry-floating-shelves/
Next the organization! I love my dollar store baskets with labels, my airtight bins and the lazy Susan in the corner for all the sauces/vinegars you don't use that often. I got some hanging bins from Ikea that work great for potatoes and onions. They are meant for thing shelves so I drilled some holes and they still work. Also can you see I have a plug in my pantry for the toaster and wheat grinder? I love it! I also like having a big bin on the floor for bags of pasta and beans. My tubs of flour and oatmeal with gamma lids are really easy to pull out when cooking too. The top of the cabinet is open so it always stays light. That also means I can pile up chips and paper towels if needed. I don't have all my can goods in the pantry as I like to buy sales in bulk. This is what my downstairs food storage closet looks like:
I'll be the first to admit I'm not a professional but I loved the ideas I got from the web so wanted to pass it forward. Enjoy!

We've been getting noticed! UUA staff has requested permission to share some of what we are doing here at UUCA in Religious Education with the wider world.
Our Grow With Us teacher recruitment board for Fall, in Sandburg Hall, is now shared on the UUA website. And our Director of Lifespan Religious Education, Joy Berry, was recently asked if her blog article "And How Are the Children?" could be shared on UUA's Growing Unitarian Universalism's Facebook page. (Must scroll down the page to see the article.)
It's great to have our work in Religious Education used as a model for others in the wider faith of Unitarian Universalism. We hope you'll join us in doing more cool things with children, youth, and adults of UUCA!
