Do we need boundaries to be free?
Is real freedom about having no limitations? Or something else?
How do you think?

Jun 2 2013: with freedom comes responsibility.
- +1
one cannot be completely free because then, someone else will have to suffer. for example, your freedom is a case of not wearing clothes in public and that you just want to display yourself. but then again, another person's freedom is to live in a place where everyone is decent and that he or she is living by the norm. person A is free but person B is not.
freedom still has its limitations and you can always live outside these limitations in a responsible manner.
take for example persons A and B above: person A can be naked but he or she must see to it that the people around him or her will not be violated. both persons are now free.
it's a matter of considering everyone else's freedom.
(gah, it's so hard to explain. but i guess i made myself clear, miss marina? :))May 31 2013: Time is a Boundary. I wrote this today to a young person who hid away a bad experience. And I will be bold and write here too:
My wife was once a young person like you. She was when I met her. And I suspect that you and she share many similar experiences. Even the bad experiences in some way. My wife was like you. My family is like yours. And my child just like you. You live in a beautiful country. You are surrounded by a very special nation. Please be who you are. Always. And believe. It is always who you are to believe.
You are young. You are beautiful. And you are free. And because you are young, you have a future. Don't waste that gift. I am glad that you know about Pandora and her box. Keep that one closed. Put it away. But keep it safe. That is the story of Pandora and her box. But especially keep that box closed & safe & hidden away from everyone but yourself. And don't be like Pandora and open it. That was her mistake. You are the protector and guardian of that box. So be careful. But be alive. And be free. God gives you that blessing when you are young. And it goes away when you are old. You are strong today in ways that you do not understand; but you will when you are old. So think about that. It can be so hard to be strong, when you feel yourself getting old.
So please keep yourself well and safe. Be smart, not stupid like so many others. One day when you are old, you will find that box again. And on the day you find it, you will learn something very important about how you have lived your life. For when you find that box again, you will find it open. And that will be a mystery, because you will know that you did not open it yourself. And if you have lived well, and have done all that I say, and all that you know you should -- there will be a treasure there inside that open box.
You are young. You are beautiful. And you are free. Live well. And find that treasure some day. Remember what an old man tells you today. And be that treasure. Amen
Be free
May 31 2013: Thank you for your story, I do appreciate it!
Scot Wilcox
May 28 2013: I think freedom has to do with your choice. Everyone is free to choose anything they wish, even among harsh restrictions. You can choose to stand up to the man with a gun, for example. He can't really take away your freedom. You can however take away your ability to choose from yourself. Addiction to tobacco, drugs, alcohol, or pornography will rewire your brain until you physically cannot stop doing those things without outside help. We are not free to choose everything that happens to us, or the consequences of our actions. But we are always, always free to choose our reactions to those external circumstances. No one can take that away from us.

May 29 2013: Totally agree! Thank you for your answer.May 27 2013: Defining freedom as the right to do whatever you want without any limits is a mistake, that is the definition of debauchery not freedom. NO!... Freedom is not about having no limitations, freedom is all about making decisions without coercion or biased influence. The limits of freedom are your knowledge, your self-discipline and your responsibility. Freedom without knowledge is just a fantasy, so if your knowledge is limited then your freedom is also limited. Freedom without a self imposed discipline leads you sooner or latter but unavoidably to self-destruction, so your freedom is bounded by your self-discipline or by the absence of it. Freedom without responsibility is debauchery, so your freedom is also constrained by your own sense of responsibility, or by the consequences of the lack of it.

Let dirty dishes collect in your dishwasher and you can predict the result: a buildup of bacteria that can unleash an awful smell every time you crack the machine's door. The new Klin-Tec UV-C Stick ($31) blasts away this annoyance by automatically bathing the dishwasher's insides with germ-killing UV light once every 24 hours. Because the device ends its 12-minute run time instantly if the door of the washer opens, you can just set it in a rack and forget it — at least until you're ready to run a wash cycle. This gadget is "unfortunately not waterproof."
Former President George W. Bush on Friday visited New Orleans to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a catastrophe that was one of the low points of Bush's tenure. Bush praised the city's post-hurricane recovery, saying, "New Orleans is back, and better than ever." President Obama toured the city on Thursday, praising the city's resilience while also saying more needs to be done.

Turns out, Donald Trump was born this way. Even back in his college days, he was the same "brash, blunt, and sometimes bombastic personality" that we're all watching dominate the Republican presidential stage. Indeed, according to a new profile of The Donald in The Boston Globe, his signature antics may date as far back as the second grade.
While Trump is now merely throwing verbal punches at his foes, as a second grader he actually socked his music teacher because he "didn't think the teacher knew enough about music," The Globe reports. From there, Trump's story unfolds with one Donald-esque moment after the other. Here are some of the best:
- Trump was voted "Ladies Man" by his all-male high school peers.
- In college, he gave a professor this response when the class was asked why they'd chosen to study real estate: "I'm going to be the king of New York real estate." "Sit down, you [expletive]," one of his classmates recalls thinking.
- One of Trump's former roommates recalls him being so meticulous that he "fold[ed] his underwear into squares and stack[ed] them neatly on a shelf."
- During rides home from high school on a Port Authority bus, Trump would point out all of his dad's buildings in Queens. "My dad, he built all those homes over there," one classmate recalls him saying.
- Trump's college attire, according to actress Candice Bergen, consisted of a "two-piece burgundy suit with matching burgundy patent leather boots, and, a particularly nice touch, a matching burgundy limousine." Bergen turned down Trump's request for a date.
But perhaps even better than these young Trump tales is this quote from one of The Donald's old classmates that sums him up all too well: "Tact wasn't his strong suit then and it isn't now."

University of Illinois fires its head football coach after report finds he pressured athletes to play through injuries
Just one week before its season begins, the University of Illinois has fired head football coach Tim Beckman. ESPN's Adam Rittenberg reports Beckman's dismissal comes after an external review into the Illini football program found evidence of "efforts to deter injury reporting and influence medical decisions that pressured players" to avoid treatment and play through injuries.
"The preliminary information external reviewers shared with me does not reflect our values or our commitment to the welfare of our student-athletes, and I've chose to act accordingly," University of Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas said in a statement Friday announcing the firing. Thomas added that in addition to the medical concerns, Beckman treated some student-athletes "inappropriately with respect to whether they could remain on scholarship during the spring semester of their senior year," when their time as active members of the team was over.
It seems like the news may have come as a shock to Beckman, given that he had tweeted his excitement about upcoming opening day just an hour earlier:
Just one hour ago, @coachbeckman tweeted his excitement about the Illinois season opener. pic.twitter.com/v2EvTh1GlA

Beckman coached the Illini for three seasons and amassed a 12-25 record. Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit will be the interim head coach for the coming season. Kimberly Alters
Facing a need for $743 million worth of repairs to crumbling infrastructure, the mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, has told residents the city can fix its many potholes through the power of prayer. "Yes, I believe we can pray potholes away," said Mayor Tony Yarber, who is also a church pastor, on Twitter. "Moses prayed," he said, "and a sea opened."
Former St. Paul's prep student Owen Labrie, 19, was found not guilty in a high profile rape trial that cast a pall over the prestigious New Hampshire school. Labrie faced nine charges, three of which were for felony sexual assault. The jury only found Labrie guilty of a few misdemeanors, such as seducing a minor on the internet and misdemeanor sexual assault, NBC reports.
Prosecutors claimed that Labrie had raped a 15-year-old as part of a school tradition, called Senior Salute, where graduating students try to have sex with underclassmen. Labrie testified that he had two consensual sexual contacts that stopped before intercourse.
"I said, 'No, no, no, keep it up here,'" his accuser told the court, describing how she had tried to fight Labrie off. "I tried to be as polite as possible … I wanted to not cause a conflict." Jeva Lange
Unsatisfied with how the "lamestream media" has been questioning the GOP presidential candidates, Sarah Palin has decided to take it upon herself to conduct an interview with the contenders, including, of course, Donald Trump. While the conversation topics for Friday night's interview on One American News Network have not yet been revealed in their entirety, Palin made it very clear in a Facebook post that she plans to defend The Donald.
WTH, LAMESTREAM MEDIA! STAY OUT OF MY BIBLEWTH? Lamestream media asks GOP personal, spiritual "gotchas" that they'd...
Posted by Sarah Palin on Friday, August 28, 2015
If you somehow couldn't make it through all of Palin's post, here are the sparknotes: Palin wants to call out the media for its harsh attacks on, namely, The Donald. She's particularly incensed about the abundance of "spiritual 'gotchas'" that are used against GOP candidates, but not against the media's "favored liberal pals," presumably referencing a reporter's recent question about Trump's favorite Bible verse.
After lavishing praise on the Republican frontrunner for "screwing with the reporter" by refusing to answer the question that he found to be "very personal," Palin makes the case for the media assuming more of the Trump attitude to "empower Americans to reject [the mainstream media] and their bias as voters run to the anti-status quo candidates daring to Go Rogue."
The status quo is starting to look a whole lot better. Becca Stanek
There's nothing like the threat of nukes to help you get your way, according to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who bragged that peace negotiations with South Korea last week were successful due to his nation's potential threat of nuclear attack. While Kim agrees that both nations are now on the path of "reconciliation and trust" with their "landmark" truce, North Korea's official KCNA agency quoted Kim as saying, "[The deal] was by no means something achieved on the negotiating table but thanks to the tremendous military muscle with the nuclear deterrent for self-defense." Of course, Kim would say something like that.
North Korea had threatened to use force against South Korea over propaganda broadcasts launched when a North Korean land mine maimed two South Korean soldiers earlier this month. The two countries also exchanged fire at the border last week. During talks on Monday, North Korea offered an official statement of "regret" over the land mine, satisfying South Korean officials. The extent to which North Korea has advanced in their nuclear capabilities is unknown. Jeva Lange

Ethiopian Explorer - Trekking the Simien Mountains
Ethiopia, Trek & Walk, 13 days - from £1,595 (land only) - from €2,235 (land only) - from $2,580 (land only)
Mountains and Monoliths....
On our unique Ethiopian holiday, as well as trekking to the top of the highest mountain, Ras Dashen, we've also included a visit to the unmissable rock hewn churches at Lalibela. 11 monolithic medieval churches, carved out of solid rock - extraordinary.
- Superb walking in the Simien Mountains of Ethiopia
- Trek to the summit of Ras Dashen (4620m), Ethiopia`s highest peak
- Extraordinary wildlife, up close, including Gelada Baboons
- Gondar`s `African Camelot` & the rock hewn churches of Lalibela
- Fantastic value with all meals included
Ethiopia is a very different destination for a trekking holiday in Africa. Known as 'The Roof of Africa', Ethiopia is a land of surprises, with a wealth of superb trekking and a rich cultural heritage to explore. Ethiopia includes some of the finest mountain scenery in Africa, notably in the Simien Mountains which have been designated a World Heritage Site. This highland area in the northern part of Ethiopia includes many summits over 4000 metres, the highest being Ras Deshen, the fourth highest mountain in Africa. Geographically, the Simien Mountains comprise several major plateaux, which are underlain by basalt lavas thousands of metres thick. It is the erosion of these lavas that has created the dramatic escarpments and freestanding pinnacles which are characteristic of the Simien Mountains range and which are comparable in terms of spectacle to the Grand Canyon. We access this northern region by way of a short internal flight from Addis Ababa to the ancient capital of Gondar. This latter is a wonderful, historically important, city with an unusual collection of 17th century castles and churches. Six days of trekking takes us through a land of natural wonders and of rare wildlife, including the Simien Mountains red fox, the strikingly-maned Gelada baboon and the majestic lammergeier or bearded vulture. Trekking through several villages, notable for their carefully tended farmland and friendly people, our walking reaches its climax at the summit of Ras Deshen (4620m), where the views extend northwards to Eritrea. A 2-day visit to explore Lalibela, with its collection of amazing churches, carved out of solid rock, is a great way to end this exceptional walking adventure holiday to the Simien Mountains of Ethiopia. Providing a variety of completely new experiences, Ethiopia is an adventure travel destination for the trekking connoisseur to explore.
Is this holiday for you?
This trip involves straightforward trekking on good trails which are the paths used by local people as they travel between their villages. We head west to east on the high escarpment of the Simien Mountains. As there are several longer days of up to 8 hours trekking that include a considerable amount of ascent and/or descent (over 1500m) this a challenging trekking holiday. The optional ascent of Ras Deshen provides a challenging climb, particularly because of its reasonably high altitude, and the walking day here will be 10 to 12 hours long. The upper part of the climb includes some scrambling. You will need to ensure you are physically prepared for the trek. You should be comfortable with walking on good trails but with some steep ascents and descents for typically 5 or 6 hours each day (or more) for several days continuously. The optional ascent of Ras Deshen although a longer day, presents no technical difficulty but trekking at altitudes above 3000m does make greater demands on the body than similar terrain at lower elevations, and even fit and active hikers may find this quite challenging.

Claire Messud's The Emperor's Children, was a New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Washington Post Best Book of the Year. Her first novel, When the World Was Steady, and her book of novellas, The Hunters, were both finalists for the PEN/Faulkner Award; and her second novel, The Last Life, was a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and Editor's Choice at The Village Voice. All four books were named New York Times Notable Books of the Year.
Her most recent novel, The Woman Upstairs, was on several best books of the year lists, including the Huffington Post, Chicago Tribune, Goodreads, Washington Post and The New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2013. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Radcliffe Fellowship and the Straus Living Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband and children.

Joyce Carol Oates is a novelist, critic, playwright, poet and author of short stories and one of America's most highly respected literary figures. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys and Blonde (a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize), and The New York Times bestsellers The Falls (winner of the 2005 Prix Femina Etranger) and The Gravedigger's Daughter. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of Humanities at Princeton University.
Her new novel, Carthage, plunges us deep into the psyche of a wounded young corporal, haunted by unspeakable acts of wartime aggression, while unraveling the story of a disaffected young girl whose exile from her family may have come long before her disappearance.
Dark and riveting, Carthage is a powerful addition to the Joyce Carol Oates canon, one that explores the human capacity for violence, love and forgiveness, and asks if it's ever truly possible to come home again.

"When your only child tells you he doesn't want to see you anymore, it cuts straight to your heart, like a knife twisted and turned," says Deborah Jackson,* 61, a history professor in northern California.
See also: How do you cope with estrangement?
She's been there. Deborah and her son, Marcus, 26, were exceptionally close when he was a child, but became estranged after she and Marcus's father divorced in 2003. Around that time, Marcus left for college, and Deborah found it increasingly difficult to maintain her connection with her son.
For reasons she still doesn't fully understand, Marcus stayed with his father on school breaks and seemed to call his mother only to chastise her. "I'd be walking down the street with tears streaming down my face, cellphone to my ear, listening to Marcus telling me all the ways I'd failed him," she recalls. "I'd done the best I could with my son, and clearly it wasn't enough."
Despite her efforts, their relationship remained tense and distant. "Every day that goes by, I'm missing more of his life," Deborah told us last fall, her voice thick with grief. "I'm afraid I'll never see my only child again."
Experts say that Deborah's worry is more and more common. "In my therapy practice, I've seen a significant increase in parents whose adult children have cut them off," says Mark Sichel, author of Healing From Family Rifts and a licensed clinical social worker in Manhattan.
San Francisco psychologist Joshua Coleman, Ph.D., received so many requests for help with intergenerational conflict that he launched a six-session seminar, available via telephone or Web, for estranged parents. Coleman, author of When Parents Hurt: Compassionate Strategies When You and Your Grown Child Don't Get Along, expected about 50 parents to sign up for the first series. Instead, he got 400.

What's behind such family fractures? Coleman blames them in part on a me-first mentality that he says is weakening parent-child relationships. Our culture prizes individual fulfillment, with couples uniting and splitting based on their emotional needs rather than a sense of tradition or duty. In the same way, he says, "little binds adult children to their parents these days, beyond whether the relationship feels good to them."

Batman Will Hug Your Children To Safety With A New Car Seat
Confession time: I've always been super nervous while riding in cars that other people are driving. I think it has a lot to do with watching the episode of Dragnet where Joe Friday did a slow motion breakdown of the various injuries you can sustain in a crash when I was like eight years old, but it persists to this very day.

En español | Much of what makes a great job interview is intuitive. It's chemistry between two people. When it comes to that point in the interview when you're asked if you have any questions, you have a final chance to make a lasting impression.
Obvious questions might make it seem like you aren't that interested. Simple ones make it appear you have not done your research. The key is to have the confidence to ask a few tough but not disrespectful questions. Here are 10 to consider.
See also: 5 jobs in demand for 2013
1. Why did you choose this company?
It's a two-way street. Yes, you're there to sell yourself, but they're selling the job, too.
The answer will help you define "the organization's strengths and weaknesses with this insider's perspective," says Michael Erwin, a senior career adviser at CareerBuilder.
If this person would be your boss, and you feel at ease, you might ask: What's your management style? What challenges make you excited to come to work each day? What do you like the most about working here? These kinds of questions let somebody see that you're genuinely attracted to the job and whether the company is a good fit for you.
2. Is full time the only option, or would you consider a contract or consulting arrangement?
"Most of the 50-plus crowd I have worked with want to work less and make more," says career consultant Maggie Mistal. "By taking on projects or aspects of projects that play to their core genius, people can increase their hourly rate and avoid taking on job responsibilities they don't really want."
3. How would I exceed your expectations on a short-term basis, say in the first 30 to 60 days on the job?
Such a question lets your interviewer know that you want to be effective from day one, says career coach Julie Shifman, founder of Act Three. It suggests initiative and preparation, which are critical in the employer's hiring decision. The answer should give you "more in-depth knowledge about the tasks and challenges you'll be facing in your first couple of months," she says.
4. What qualities do your very best employees have in common?
The answer will tell you what the employer values in its top performers, Shifman says. "Is it that they are always available? Is it their ability to solve problems creatively? The answer will give you a pretty good idea of what you need to do to succeed in this organization. Do you have what it takes? Are you willing to give what it takes?"
5. Is there anything about myself, my skills or my background that you would like me to clarify?
A forward question, but bottom line, this is how you find out if your interviewer has any questions about your ability to do the job. This gives you a chance to sell yourself and emphasize what you do well, or expand upon something mentioned in your résumé.
6. Are there opportunities for professional training or further education, particularly to keep up with new technology?
According to Dan Schawbel, author of the upcoming book Promote Yourself, boomers select training and development opportunities as being most important when considering working for a company. That is confirmed by the findings of a recent survey conducted by Monster and Millennial Branding, a Gen Y research and consulting firm founded by Schawbel.
If you're 50 or older, such a question could go a long way in undermining any tendency the interviewer might have to think of you as an older worker who may be stuck, set in your ways and behind the curve when it comes to technology. "This is a forward-thinking question that leaves the interviewer with the impression that you're willing to grow," says career coach Laura Schlafly.

CLARION – It didn't take long for Johnsonburg to assert its will over Eisenhower.
After an emphatic opening block from Cameron Grumley on the game's first sequence, the Rams sprinted to a 17-7 first-quarter lead en route to a 62-30 win over the Knights Friday night in the first round of the PIAA Class A boys' basketball playoffs held at Clarion University.
Grumley swatted an opening layup from Aaron Lundmark off the opening tip.
"I don't know if that took them out of the game right there but it was a message, sure," Johnsonburg coach Bill Shuey said. "It was definitely a message."

"These cookies are very moist...my husband's favorite."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
butter, softened
2/3 cup
packed brown sugar
2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
1 1/2 cups
pecan halves
I just finished making a double batch of these wonderful cookies. I don't understand what other reviewers mean when they say this recipe doesn't make many cookies. I doubled everything and got 10 dozen cookies! Even half of that is 5 dozen! Here are the changes I made: I put a teaspoon of vanilla and about a cup of finely chopped pecans in the (doubled) batter, and after rolling into a one inch ball, dipped each one half way in a bowl containing Sugar In The Raw. It's light brown, has larger crystals then regular sugar, and very sparkly. Then I flattened each cookie with the bottom of a glass and put a nice whole pecan in the middle. They are absolutely delicious and they look wonderful! These are now on my list to make every year! Thanks!!.....12/15/09 an update: My last batch is in the oven so I have time for a quick update. This year I got 16 DOZEN when I doubled everything! I think it's because of 2 things: refrigerate the dough over night and use a melon baller to scoop out the portions. BTW, mine took 10 minutes per batch.
Very bland. Next time I will try adding vanilla
59 Ratings
Adding vanilla is a must in this recipe. Refrigerating overnight makes a better dough. We tried different "add ons", i.e. chocolate chips, cinnamon, powdered sugar, etc. and found that turning this recipe into a Pecan Sandie by adding chopped pecans to the batter, leaving the balls whole for baking and rolling in powdered sugar after baking was the best. By leaving these in a ball, the cookie was thicker and more cake like, so it would just be your own personal preference to do this.
These cookies are moist and very pretty.
I used a whole cup of brown sugar since
I like my cookies sweet...good butter
pecan flavor...I also added about 1/2
tsp vanilla...recipe makes a smaller
batch than most...I'll make these again
This is a very good and easy recipe! I dipped my glass bottom in sugar instead of flour. It gives the cookie more of a sugar cookie taste. I also put a cherry on top of half the batch of cookies and on the other half I did the pecan. Definately a good recipe for the holidays and one to keep to use every year.
This is a wonderful, melt-in-your-mouth recipe. I printed it two days ago, and I have already used it TWICE! I would suggest putting sugar on the bottom of the glass as well, it gives the cookies even more flavor! FANTASTIC JOB!
Excellent recipe! The dough comes out very sticky, but do not add more flour! After refrigeration it comes out perfectly. I made that mistake once. Also added 1/2 tsp. vanilla which tasted lovely!
The recipe is quick and easy. They taste great and can be served for any occasion! Lacie

On a recent morning, Jed Schenkier stood on the parking garage roof at Weiss Memorial Hospital, staring at a four-foot-tall stack of wooden boxes. To anybody else, the mismatched yellow and green boxes might look ready for the recycle bin. But look closer: Bees climb over each other on a little ledge at the bottom of the stack. They lift off and fly away into the city, or return on a wind gust and slip inside the lowest box.
Schenkier might look like a random 20-something at first glance—in shorts and a t-shirt with dancing vegetables on it, his shaggy hair in tangles. He is one of two beekeepers and the volunteer responsible for starting the rooftop garden at Weiss.
"I have to give that to Alderman [Helen] Shiller," said Schenkier, who learned to garden from his parents. From the rooftop, he pointed to the building where he used to live, one that overlooked an empty lot. He had drawn up community garden plans for the open space, taking them to Shiller's office. "She laughed and it didn't happen, but that's why I'm here," he said. Last spring, he saw Shiller at another community garden, and she mentioned that Weiss was looking for a volunteer to start a rooftop garden. His plans could become a reality.
Shiller considered Schenkier an ideal candidate and recommended him to Terry Tuohy, director of volunteer services at Weiss. Working with hospital leadership, Tuohy led the charge in finding a way to bring the garden to life.
Weiss administrators decided to start the garden in order to bring the ideas behind "Health for Life," the hospital's new initiative, to the community. Health for Life operates under the idea that maintaining key health factors (such as body mass index, blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, exercise and diet) will lead to a healthier life.
"What could we do to get thinking outside the box?" Tuohy asked herself. Before long, she found an answer: "Being healthy starts with food."
Schenkier's motivations run along similar lines. "I didn't want to eat all this crazy food out there anymore," he said. "People shouldn't have to eat profit-driven food. They shouldn't have to choose between Whole Foods and fast food."
In April, he got to work, along with friend Will Pool and aunt Donna Buyer. Weiss invested $2,500 in the initial growing boxes, soil and tools. Within the first six weeks of the Uptown Farmers Market, held in the Weiss parking lot, Schenkier sold $500 in rooftop produce. He also met people at the market interested in helping with the garden. One man lives nearby, and stops by on Tuesdays and Thursdays to water the plants.
The 20 growing boxes mounted around the rim of the rooftop—each roughly eight feet long and three feet deep—contain dozens of different fruits and vegetables. From one box, corn stalks reach three feet high into the air. In another, watermelon vines cascade down the sides. There are also berries, beans, beets, zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, herbs and okra. "The conditions up here are perfect," Schenkier said. "There's uninterrupted sunlight, and rabbits aren't a problem."
The wind, though, dehydrates plants. And when he's not working as a bellhop at the James Hotel downtown, Schenkier visits the rooftop two to five times a week to water his crop.
He credits his success to a common sense understanding of what it takes to grow. "It's easy. You put a seed in the dirt, and it grows. You don't cut at the stem because the plant has a whole root system, and if you put [the plant] in a new place, it'll be unhappy for a few days because that was a huge shock to its system."
That morning on the roof, Schenkier pulled a stepladder from the corner and climbed up to look at the bush beans. Pulling one off, he took a bite and smiled, then moved down a few feet to the next box, where a two-centimeter watermelon dangled from a vine. The fruit, he said, "will be baseball size in three days and basketball size in two weeks."
Back by the beehive, Schenkier lifted the top of the highest box. Inside, bees climbed over each other and flew up into the edges. "There are 50,000 of them in there," he said, and those 50,000 bees pollinate throughout the city—including the boxes mounted along the rim of the parking garage roof, playing an integral part in the growth process.
Sometimes, Schenkier visits the roof to sit and watch the bees, and sometimes people who don't know about the garden call security on him. "There's lots of open space up here. It's a cool little place to hang out."
"It's dangerous not to know where your food comes from or how," he said, adding that he continues to garden because "it's political, but it's not entirely that. I just like to grow things. One rooftop garden is not going to change everything, but it's part of a movement. We're part of a movement."

Wedding Director (Il Regista di Matrimoni)
Franco Elica, a dissolute movie director who slides into despair after being asked - to his horror - to make yet another version of Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed. Complicating matters is news that a looming sexual-harassment scandal is about to break. Hoping to avoid the scandal at all costs, Franco flees to Sicily where he hides out in a small village. There he meets a host of colorful characters: a man who makes his living shooting souvenir wedding films, a film director who is faking his own death to finally achieve the fame that has eluded him all his life, and the cultured nobleman Prince Ferdinando Gravina di Palagonia. The menacing Prince, a huge fan of Franco's movies, commissions the depraved filmmaker to shoot the wedding of his tempestuous daughter, Bona, with whom Elica quickly falls impulsively, idiotically, dangerously in love and whose wedding he becomes driven to sabotage at all costs.

A bowl of classic French truffles—rolled balls of ganache, coated in cocoa powder and chopped nuts. Truffles from DeBrand.com.

Understanding Truffles & Ganache
Page 1: One Person's Truffle Is Another Person's Praline
This is Page 1 of a three-page article. Click on the black links below to visit other pages.
What is a truffle? It's different things to different people. We're going to explain it here today. And to understand truffles, you've got to understand ganache—so there's a little lesson on that, too.
The word truffle has several meanings in the world of candy. Generally, when you hear the word, you have to clarify what is being discussed. That's because the same word can have a different meaning in different countries, and America, the great melting pot, absorbs them all. This can be confusing, as we'll see in a moment.
Now come the layers of confusion: What's a truffle and what's a praline?
*To add more confusion to the confusion, this hard chocolate shell is called couverture, the same word used for the blocks of chocolate melted down to make the shell, enrobe chocolate, make chocolate bars, pastry, etc.

En español | Older and younger people want the same thing from the Internet: to use online tools to connect with one another and protect their privacy.
That's the gist of a new AARP/Microsoft study, which found that most Americans think social media sites (Facebook, Twitter and so on) are boosting the quantity and quality of family communication. At the same time, many people harbor deep concerns about the safety and security of their online activity.
The AARP/Microsoft study, coinciding with Safer Internet Day (February 7, 2012), polled more than 2,000 Americans in two demographics: 13- to 25-year-olds and 39- to 75-year-olds. Eighty-three percent of those who responded see online communication (both email and social media) as a handy way to stay in touch with family. Social media may even be bridging the generation gap: More than one-fourth reported that communicating online with family members helps them better understand older or younger family members.
Discuss Web security concerns in the AARP Online Community.
How Safe Are We Online?
A whopping 98 percent of those polled said they feel comfortable communicating via social networks. More than half, though, worry about their safety and security online: Twentysomethings are more concerned than teenagers, while nearly two-thirds of parents and grandparents are troubled by the safety risks of online identity theft, harassment or malicious software.
When it comes to safety, though, we need to talk: Nearly half of parents who responded say their children know to speak up when they encounter something uncomfortable online. By contrast, almost three in 10 teenagers say they know to alert their parents in such a situation.
Despite respondents' Internet safety concerns, the AARP/Microsoft study found that online communication is gaining a toehold in all age groups. The reason for the surge? Family ties: Just over two-thirds of people said the main reason they use social networking sites is to keep in contact with family members they don't regularly see. Social media also facilitate virtual interactions among relatives who do see one another on a regular basis. (The younger survey group was far more likely to use social media this way than the older group.)

Dominant performances from a pair of Clarksburg High School senior boys highlighted the 4A West Region indoor track and field championships Thursday night at the Prince George's Sports and Learning complex in Landover.
Seniors Paul Joseph (300 meters, 55 hurdles, 55 dash) and William Bertrand (800, 1,600, 3,200) both captured three victories — called tripling — and led the Clarksburg boys' to an easy victory with 124 points.
Meanwhile, in coach Robert Youngblood's first season as head coach of the team, the Northwest girls captured their fourth-consecutive indoor 4A West Region title with 82 points.
Coyotes coach Scott Mathias was impressed with the performance of his team, particularly Bertrand and Joseph.
"Those guys were fantastic," Matthias said. "For Paul to complete the same triple that he did at [the county championships] and manage his way through that stuff is tough because it's like finish, then go. For William to go through those long races, tripling in the mile, 2-mile and 800, I mean, he was great all day.
Joseph qualified for the state Class 4A championships (Feb. 19 on the same track) in all three of his events. After winning the 300 at last year's 4A West Region championships, Joseph said he came in expecting to win.
"After winning at counties, I just went out and attacked," said Joseph, who won the 300 in 35.35 seconds, the 55 hurdles in 7.86 seconds and the 55 dash in 6.6 seconds.
Bertrand, on the other hand, won the 800 (2 minutes, 1.89 seconds), 1,600 (4:30.25) and 3,200 (9:56.92) by nearly two seconds each.
On the girls' side, Thomas S. Wootton senior Gwen Shaw was dominant in winning the 55 hurdles (8.23 seconds) and 300 (40.7 seconds).
But Shaw was bested by .02 seconds in the 55 dash by Montgomery Blair junior Deborah Olawuni, who won in 7.25 seconds.
But the best girls' team honors, as has become a trend over nearly the past four years, belonged to the Jaguars.
After husband-wife tandem David and Alexia Knight relocated to Texas with their budding star daughter and sophomore Kennedy and daughter India graduated high school following last May's state 4A outdoor championships, Youngblood took over this season and the Jaguars have maintained their successful form.
"They were great today," Youngblood said. "We had a couple of breakdowns with some of my girls' missing the finals, that's a growing-up thing, but we had some girls step up and keep winning. It's so fun."
With a balance effort that did not include a single victory in any individual event, the Jaguars won the 3,200-meter relay (Katerina Lake, Briana DiNardo, Gaby Go and Naomi Sheppard) in 8:20.4 and the 1,600 relay (Dana Eckerstrom, Tiara Wellman, Lake and Sheppard) in 3:32.73.
One of the best performances of the day came from Clarksburg freshman Alexus Pyles, who won the girls' high jump with a personal-best 5 feet, 5-inch effort. The victory followed a victory at last week's Montgomery County indoor championships.
"I thought I had a shot at qualifying for states because I got first at counties," Pyles said. "I only cleared 5-2, but I really wanted to clear 5-4. When I cleared 5-4 on the last attempt, I had the momentum and the adrenaline was really flowing."
Richard Montgomery junior Ozioma Edokobi won the girls' shot put with a heave of 42-9 while Quince Orchard junior Donovan Tyler was the only boys' shot putter to qualify for the state championships with a 45-0.25 victory.
Meanwhile, Tyler's teammate, senior Jack O'Keefe, won the boys' high jump by clearing a personal-best 6-2.
"I felt pretty good coming into today. I got second in the county championships to the top seed [Northwest senior Joseph Williams] so I wanted to come out and put up a good fight against him today. That was the goal today."
Walt Whitman sophomore Clare Severe continues to shine after surprising during her freshman season. She won the girls' 1,600 in a personal-best 5:06.42.
"I felt a lot more comfortable this time around because to win it was a complete surprise," Severe said. "I really thought I would be able to win. It was great to have such good competition.

Two overarching goals have driven her work over the last twenty years: to enhance access, equity, and quality in education and facilitate teaching and leadership that values individual and group differences and helps communities effectively negotiate conflict and change. As peer, advisor, teacher, and mentor, Bonnie aims to help educators put theory into practice in intercultural education as well as experiential education, elementary (kindergarten through Grade 8) math and science education, education through music, and teaching English to speakers of other languages.
Bonnie received her B.A. in Humanistic Studies from the Johns Hopkins University. At the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where she received numerous fellowships as well as a multi-year research training grant from the Spencer Foundation, Bonnie earned an Ed.M. in Technology in Education and an Ed.D. in Learning and Teaching. There she served on the editorial board of the Harvard Educational Review. In addition to teaching at Harvard, California State University in Long Beach, and COA (since Fall, 2000), Bonnie taught Math and English at Mahalapye Community Junior Secondary School in Botswana. She has enjoyed conducting program evaluations for professional development institutes and other institutional or program strengthening initiatives such as a recent evaluation of a digital media-based program for homeless youth. As a violinist, she has performed with the Maitisong Festival Orchestra in Gaborone, Botswana, and the Maryland Womenís Symphony.

Courses Taught
ED1013Changing Schools, Changing SocietyHow have schools changed and how should schools change to ensure "the good life"? This interdisciplinary, team-taught course examines the potential and limits of a human ecological education as an instrument of enlightened progress and lasting positive social, cultural, and environmental change. It explores three essential questions about education and its relationship to human development and social progress. Looking at the role of formal educational institutions and their relationship to government and other social institutions: What is the role of schools in development and social change? Considering the role of teachers as agents of change: What is the role of the teacher in school/organizational change and community development? And finally, reflecting on our subjective motives for working in the field of education: Why do you want to become an educator? Through course activities such as service-learning in schools and group project work on a contemporary educational phenomenon (e.g., school choice, new technologies for learning, single-sex education), students will learn how educational policy at the federal, state, and local levels impacts teaching and learning, investigate the moral dimensions of the teacher-student relationship, and reflect on the construct of teacher-learners. Students will be introduced to a variety of educational research methods (i.e, ethnography, case study, quasi-experimental, correlational) that will allow for critical analysis of the knowledge base that strives to impact educational policy and practice. Evaluation will be based on participation, reflective writing, service learning, and group projects and presentations.
Level: Introductory. Class limit: 15. Offered every other year. Lab fee: $20. Meets the following degree requirements: HS, ED
ED5010Curriculum Design and AssessmentHuman ecologists who educate, embrace not only the interdisciplinarity of knowledge, but also the complexity of individual student development in political school environments. This course focuses on two essential nuts and bolts of teaching: curriculum design and assessment. How can a teacher learn what students know, how they think, and what they have learned? How can a teacher use this knowledge of students and subject matter to plan learning experiences that will engage diverse interests, adapt to a wide range of learning styles and preferences, accommodate exceptional needs, and meet state-mandated curriculum standards? This course is a required course for prospective secondary school teachers that provides an introduction to the backward design process and diverse assessment strategies. Students will engage in examining theory and practice designing and implementing curricula and assessments. A service-learning component will provide students with the opportunity to observe and participate in a variety of assessment methods in the subject they aim to teach. The final project will be a collaboratively designed, integrated curriculum unit, including lesson plans and assessments. Evaluation will be based on participation, reflective writing, individually designed lesson plans and assessments, and the final project.
Level: Advanced. Prerequisite: Supporting Students with Disabilities in the Regular Classroom. Class Limit: 12. Meets the following degree requirements: HS ED
Understanding & Managing Group DynamicsED3010This course will examine essential questions about how groups function, whether the group is a committee involved in institutional governance, a class of adolescents, or a cohort of business colleagues. Readings, activities, and assignments will weigh traditional and alternative conceptions of leadership, power, authority, community, diversity, membership, and exclusion. Students will engage in case discussions, writing (including autobiography and creative writing), and research activities. A major component of the course will be the observation and analysis of a group (e.g., in a community organization, business, or school). The final paper will be the creation and analysis of a case. Evaluation will be based on class participation, responses to readings, facilitation of a case discussion, an autobiographical essay, a short story, reports of observations, and the final paper. P/F grading only. Students will be expected to take the course Pass/Fail, with special arrangement to made for those needing to take it for a grade.
Level: Intermediate. Class limit: 15. Lab fee: $50. Meets the following degree requirements: HS ED
ED1010Experimental EducationEven before John Dewey published Experience and Education in 1938, experiential education had been practiced in various forms around the world. This course explores the philosophy of experiential education and its diverse practices in the realms of adventure education, service learning, workplace learning, environmental education, museum education, and school reform. Group activities and fieldtrips will provide opportunities to participate as both learner and teacher in a variety of teacher-led and student-designed experiences. The final project involves researching an existing experiential education program, its philosophy, and its practices. Evaluation is based on class and fieldtrip participation (including one multi-day fieldtrip), reflective logs, curriculum design, service-learning journal, an oral presentation of the service-learning, and a final essay that articulates a philosophy of experience in education.
Level: Introductory. Offered every other year. Lab fee: $100. Class limit: 15. Meets the following degree requirements: HS ED
ED3011Femininity and Masculinity go to School: Gender, Power & EdThis course pivots around two central questions: How does gender influence students learning and experiences of school, curriculum and instruction, teacher-student relationships, school culture and administration? And how do schools perpetuate, resist, and construct gendered identities and gender roles? In this course we will investigate research on gender differences and school achievement, the feminization of the teaching profession, and the effects of gender on school culture, considering evidence from and questions posed by biologists, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, and educators. The major objective of the course is to examine how notions of femininity, masculinity, and androgyny have influenced and are influenced by schooling historically and globally. Activities include a historical case study, media critique, fieldwork in an educational setting, a literature review, and curriculum development. Students will conduct research on self-chosen topics such as gender identity development, gender differences in learning styles, sexual harassment in schools, or school sports programs, among others. Evaluation will be based on class participation, historical case, media analysis, oral presentation of fieldwork, written synthesis of literature, and two lesson plans.
Level: Intermediate. Writing Focus option. Offered every other year. Class limit: 15. Meets the following degree requirements: HS ED
ED5011Integrated Methods II: Science, Math, and Social StudiesHow can an integrated curriculum for elementary school students help to deepen the relationships children and young adolescents construct with the natural and social worlds in a way that promotes their capacity to know themselves and the communities in which they act? For those preparing to be elementary school educators (grades K-8), this three-credit residency provides an intensive guided apprenticeship that prepares the student-teacher with the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to design an integrated math, science, and social studies curriculum, create and maintain a constructive learning environment, teach diverse learners using appropriate learning technologies and a variety of strategies, and assess student learning. Learning objectives include all ten of the Maine Initial Teacher Certification Standards as well as familiarity with the Maine Learning Results for Math, Science, and Social Studies. Students will participate in a ten-week service-learning practicum observing and participating in elementary classrooms as well as planning and teaching in vacation school during the local school union's spring break. Readings and discussions in a daily seminar will complement the service-learning component. Evaluation will be based on reflection on service-learning, participation in seminar discussions of readings and service-learning, curriculum and assessment design and implementation, and professional performance in vacation school and at the practicum site. Partial credit may be awarded based on completed work and demonstrated learning.
Level: Advanced, 3-credit Residency. Prerequisites: Learning Theory, Exceptionalities, and Integrated Elementary Methods: Reading and Writing and permission of instructor. Class limit: 12. Meets the following degree requirements: ED HS
ED3013Intercultural EducationEducators in and outside of the U.S. teach in increasingly culturally heterogeneous classrooms, schools, and communities. This course explores some challenges and possibilities in education as a result of historical inequities in the distribution of power, knowledge, and resources, and the increasing mobility of peoples in a global economy. We will consider questions such as: What is multicultural, intercultural, and global education? How do culturally different teaching and learning styles impact notions of academic achievement, school success, and teacher quality? How can student assessments and performance standards respond effectively to cultural differences? How can educators effectively communicate and partner with parents and community members across cultural differences? What are the legal and moral obligations of teachers in providing equal educational opportunity according to federal and state laws? We will read theory and research on educating across and about cultural difference, reflect on our own cultural affiliations, and actively explore the dynamics of identity, culture, and power in the teaching-learning relationship and in educational institutions through case discussions and other group activities. Investigations of the education of self and other will take place through class activities, readings, autobiographical and fiction writing, reflective logs, media analysis, and a field research or curriculum project.
Level: Intermediate. Prerequisite: An introductory sociology, anthropology, cultural psychology, or education course. Offered every other year. Class limit: 15. Lab fee: $20. Meets the following degree requirements: ED HS
ED4011Tutorial: Research and Program Development for Ecological EdHow do we determine what is the most effective program model for developing essential skills, concepts, or dispositions for a particular organization, community, or place? This tutorial is designed to develop students' research, facilitation, and program development skills for those interested in ecological education. The tutorial will guide students through a focused literature review, identify two or three model sites to visit, assess potential program goals in light of existing organizational or community resources, needs, and limitations, and plan, implement, and evaluate an educational program that is site-specific. Students will be evaluated on an annotated bibliography, site studies, curriculum development, reflection on teaching practice, and program evaluation.
Level: Intermediate/Advanced. Prerequisites: Introduction to Sustainability, COA's Foodprint, Fixing Food Systems, Experiential Education, Adolescent Development, or Curriculum Design and Assessment. Class limit: 6. Lab fee: $100.
HS860Tutorial: Social Power and Identity Politics
This advanced tutorial explores the dynamics of power in relation to issues of age, class, gender, race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, language, disability, sexuality, and other social identities. In this reading and discussion-based seminar, we will consider these interactions in personal, institutional, and international spheres by looking at theoretical and empirical studies. For example, do men really have a greater desire for power? Is it possible to share power within a group? How do colonial legacies impact social relations in post-colonial states? Students will read historical, psychological, and sociological theory on patriarchy, identity politics, and neo-colonialism, and apply their understanding to current problems of social justice. Weekly seminars will provide opportunities for students to critically examine key texts and collectively construct understandings about the nature of power, identity development, and "culture wars." Evaluation will be based on class discussions, written responses to readings, case study research, and an independent or collaborative project of the student's choice. This tutorial will be of particular interest to students of social and political theory as well as those seeking to examine their personal relationship to power. Level: Advanced. Prerequisites: Prior coursework or independent reading in psychological/social/political theory recommended; permission of instructor. Class limit: 6. Lab fee: $30.

Can I use yellow zucchini instead of green zucchini in vegetable soup or is there a significant difference of between them?

In general, they are interchangeable unless the green color matters in your presentation. Texturally the differences are insignificant.
I've used patty pan squash, yellow summer squash (yellow zucchini), and regular zucchini interchangeably. There may be slight differences in sweetness or texture, but not enough to make your dish fail.

Houston Dynamo
Go back to the Dynamo's 3-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders and relive all the experiences surrounding the match, including our annual Bald is Beautiful campaign!
What a fantastic atmosphere at soccer fest on Saturday! Although we did not quite break the world record for head shaves in an hour, we did give it a run and had a blast. Salon on Kirby provided the shavers and 132 new friends provided the heads. The final shave of the day was a big one for Curing Children's Cancer Fund. Alden from Salon on Kirby offered a $1,000 donation if a lady would shave, and Susan Leining said "let's do it!". Others stepped up with additional donations, taking the total for one shave over the $1,500 mark! We are already working on next year—we will break the world record, just need a little more of your help (and heads…)
Earlier in the week, Dogwood in Midtown hosted the player shave portion of Bald is Beautiful sponsored by BMC Software. Quite a few of our men in orange emerged with new 'dos, and the kids had a great time shaving the heads (Thanks to Salon on Kirby for the "minor" touch ups on the players after the kids did their part.). No Label Brewery donated Dancing Bear 12, a beer brewed especially for Will Bruin and the Bald is Beautiful event, with all proceeds going to Curing Children's Cancer Fund. Partial proceeds from all sales during the celebrity pour from 4–7 benefitted Bald is Beautiful as well—and Will Bruin bartends better than he dances…
Last year Susan Leining was nominated as a Ching's Champion, as were Gina and Mike Dockal (founders of Zoey's Angels). Do you know someone in the community who gives back more than they receive? If so, please nominate them for this year's edition of Ching's Champions. Nominations are accepted online at HoustonDynamo.com/Charities/ChingsChampions through September 4th.
You can still ride with us on September 21st at the Tour de Cure Houston by signing up to join the Houston Dynamo team sponsored by Novo Nordisk, Camelot Realty Group, K-Pop Restaurants and Halliburton. We are also partnering with Bicycle World. Note that the date for ordering bike jerseys is past, so if you join now, we ask that you wear your favorite Dynamo gear for the ride. Please join the team next year and qualify to get the coolest bike jersey ever. To join the team or make a donation on behalf of the Dynamo team, click here
And we are getting closer to announcing details around Adam's Toy Chest—stay tuned.
A special thank you to board members Leslie Atkinson and Sanford Steinberg for their work on Bald is Beautiful—much of what they did was behind the scenes, but everyone that participated in the events benefitted greatly from their efforts.
Score a couple of goals, make Team of the Week. That's the formula for Giles Barnes in Week 25, as MLSsoccer.com named him to their weekly best XI. Here's what they had to say about him:
"Clint Dempsey may be making the headlines, but Barnes stole the show as Houston topped visiting Seattle, 3-1. The English forward netted two well-struck goals, including a highlight-reel second goal."
That goal has the Dynamo forward up for Goal of the Week as well, which you can vote for here. Barnes is also up for Feature Subject of the Week (I made this award up) thanks to Tom Dart's story for The Guardian chronicling the Englishman's career (read here).
Will Bruin, Barnes' strike partner, garnered an honorable mention nod for notching a goal and an assist over the weekend.
The Houston Dynamo hold high hopes as they open their 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League campaign in the Caribbean nation of Trinidad & Tobago on Tuesday evening with a Group 1 match against W Connection.

Tonight's Dynamo game is where Paul Caligiuri's goal sent the United States to its first World Cup in 40 years
Tonight the Dynamo open their CONCACAF Champions League group stage at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. It is the national stadium for Trinidad and Tobago and the sight of one of the most famous goals in American soccer history. In 1989, the United States national team was engulfed in the CONCACAF Championship, which was the final round of qualifying for the 1990 World Cup and the predecessor to today's "Hexagonal round" that the United States is currently leading ahead of next year's World Cup.
Back then, only 24 countries made the World Cup, so CONCACAF was allotted only two slots. The U.S. visited Hasely Crawford Stadium in November for what amounted to a play-in game for the 1990 World Cup. In front of 35,000 fans partial to the Soca Warriors, American midfielder/defender Paul Caligiuri scored the game's only goal for a 1-0 U.S. win. Caligiuri appeared in 110 games for the United States and scored five goals. The goal below secured the U.S.' first place in a World Cup since 1950. Since this goal, the United States has not missed a World Cup, appearing in the last six.
For more on the goal, take a look at this ESPN article from 2010, which called it, "The goal that changed U.S. soccer."
You've seen his work here on HoustonDynamo.com, but you'll want to read this great piece by Tom Dart on fellow Brit Giles Barnes for The Guardian.
Once tabbed to be the next big thing in English football, Barnes has revived his career here in Houston. Read about Barnes' early career, his decision to come to the U.S. and his impressions of MLS.

INDIANAPOLIS – Top-ranked Lawrence Central amassed 539 yards of total offense to beat Snider 39-14 in the Class 5A State Championship Game on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Panthers were never able to consistently slow down the Bears offensively, forcing one punt on the night. That punt did not come until midway through the fourth quarter.
Snider trailed by seven at halftime despite allowing more than 300 yards of total offense, but Lawrence Central (15-0) scored twice within two minutes midway through the third to pull away.
The Panthers were led offensively by senior quarterback Brandon Phelps, who finished 19-of-32 for 194 yards and a touchdown.
The running game, which had led Snider throughout the season, never was able to get much traction against a Lawrence Central defense that entered Saturday allowing just over 100 yards per game. The Panthers finished with 96 yards rushing on 29 carries to average 3.3 yards per attempt.
Isaiah Townsend was huge for the Bears, carrying the ball 18 times for 193 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Quarterback Drake Christen finished with eight completions, but those went for 228 yards and a score.
Lawrence Central struck on its opening possession, marching 92 yards for a touchdown capped by a 49-yard TD pass from Christen to Tyja Thompson.
The Bears appeared to be moving towards a double-digit lead early, but fumbled inside the red zone and Snider's Jibri Bramley recovered.
But after a Phelps fumble deep in Snider territory, the Bears scored on a three-yard run by Christen to push the advantage to 14-0.
Snider responded with a long drive right before halftime to cut into the lead when Brandon Phelps found Alec Reuille in the end zone for a 2-yard score.
The Panthers had the momentum to begin the second half and moved inside the red zone, but Lawrence Central picked off a Phelps pass and returned it deep into Snider territory.
The turnover led to a Bears touchdown to push the lead back to double digits. The advantage never shrunk below 12 points after that.
Snider finishes the season 14-1 and earns its fifth runner-up finish in its history. Lawrence Central notches its first-ever state championship in its second appearance.
