Yes a record and MYTHBUSTING because the speed of the SUP looks high for 2 to 4 knots of wind.Hansen Aerosports wrote:Hi Aummm: IMHO, the true measure of light wind performance is upwind VMG(efficiency) which becomes more evident as the wind dimishes. High aspect/high projected area kites are typically better in this regard. Low aspect 'bucket' kites typically sit deeper with grunt and faster turning.
There is plenty of middle ground and 'bragging rights' (highly dependent on the board/rider) so the real test is effective upwind VMG.

With the cancellation of Yanni, the Cliff Richard show became the least hip'n'cool concert of the summer season. Not that he, nor his enthusiastic and loyal audience which poured out in their thousands to see him, could care less about the whims of musical fashion.
Richard - now 72 and more than half a century on from his first hit - just went about entertaining in a polished show of rock'n'roll (his classic Move It), flashy 80s pop (Wired for Sound) and emotional ballads delivered with astonishing power (Ocean Days).
Say what you like about Richard, you can't deny he presents a professional but also engaging show which comes with excellent lighting, a snappy band (singer Suzie Furlonger outstanding) and plenty of energy.
At 50 minutes before the half-hour interval and another 70 afterwards, it was also good value and Richard, barely pausing for a breath or even a drink of water, just kept the songs and often amusing self-deprecating stories coming. Most young indie bands couldn't keep pace with him I'd bet.
There were flat spots: the duets with Furlonger lacked an emotional spark between them; when the male backing singers supported him in doo-wop and dance moves it looked like a musical theatre production more than a concert; and his cover of Little Richard's Rip It Up was pretty bloodless.
But these were incidental over the long arc of a show which kicked off with Chuck Berry's Reelin' and Rockin' and made pit stops for his many time-locked and innocent singalong hits (Living Doll, The Young Ones, Summer Holiday).
In an aside he said he was asked in the 70s if he was past his sell-by date, "then this happened" and he sang his massive hit Devil Woman.
Richard still possesses a remarkable voice which was showcased on the ballads yet still had punch for Berry's 40 Days right at the end.
This was the first show on his Still Reelin' And A-Rockin' tour but if bugs were being ironed out you wouldn't have known. It was professional, entertaining, fun and Sir Cliff - whose first hit was recorded in Abbey Road five years before the Beatles set up residency - delivered like a man half, make that a third, his age.
It wasn't hip'n'cool but it was quality pop entertainment - and fun - from a legend who has a genuine connection with his loyal audience.

|Rebuilding a Community
|by Tim Ostberg, ArchiJunkie, February 25, 2009
Community is precious; It can help make many events happen.
It can make positive changes in neighborhoods, villages, countries and schools.
It is the SPACE BETWEEN that holds us together.
At the Town Forum the other night at our school, as I walked into the room the first impression was of the energy, excitement and enthusiasm of students.
The writing board was full of thoughts, ideas and well-discussed suggestions for a better department.
It was a beginning; a COMMUNITY ACTION
Over the years we have lost much of the community of our schools of architecture, the spirit and the energy. It has been replaced with rules, regulations and procedures. It has become process without content.
We have lost the days when the whole community came together once a week to share a meal, or the times after a long week, when we all celebrated our thoughts.
We have lost the casual conversations, between students and faculty, faculty and facutly, staff and all.
We have lost our center, the spirit of the place - the community of the place.
NOW is the time to come together again. The energy is there everywhere
NOW for the Echo of this community!
And the echo needs help. We need space for this to happen. Not just endless halls which can never really become a place. We need sponsored events. We need resources to make events happen.
And we need to be in one place not scattered throughout the campus. Places come from community and community is about coming together to make a place.
We must be in the same place!

Apple TV Take 2 review (part 2): HD Movie comparisons
Competition from Cable and Satellite HD
The third major competitor supplying HD content is cable and satellite vendors. They can rival the bandwidth available to download services, but rather than providing content on demand and billed a la carte, they sell subscriptions to as many channel feeds as they can carry. In order to deliver as many channels as possible, they heavily compress their signals, defeating their bandwidth advantage.
While cable providers are moving toward on demand services, they typically only have around 300 movie titles available for viewing. Like the download services, they commonly use the 720p HD format, although some also use 1080 interlaced, which delivers a similar effective resolution as 720p.
Gaining access to the channel-oriented delivery of cable and satellite providers commonly requires a DVR to sift through the channels and grab desired content for later viewing. This makes cable a sort of middling offering between the NetFlix-like subscription rental model for physical discs and the Apple TV model for downloading content on demand. Cable and DVR have some of the weaknesses of both: delayed satisfaction and bandwidth limitations that require compromising on quality.
Cost Comparisons
For users who watch occasional movies up to a couple films a week, Apple TV is among the cheapest options even considering the upfront cost of buying the hardware. For users who plan to watch a movie every day, the cost of $4 or $5 rentals from download services adds up quickly, highlighting the value of an all you can eat service like Netflix. At the same time, there are barely 300 HD movies currently available in any format, from either downloads or discs. To watch one every day, you'd have to literally watch everything.
This chart (below) shows a comparison of first year costs, which include any hardware purchases required , and second year costs, which only involve rental and ongoing subscription fees. Highlighted numbers indicate the cheapest options for users watching two movies per month, two per week, or a one every night of the year. Many users will likely mix and match services rather than picking one exclusively. This tends to favor Apple TV, which not only offers a cheap and convenient way to download occasional HD movies, but does a lot of other things that competing systems don't do.
Picture Quality Comparisons
Apple TV stacks up pretty well just considering the convenience and cost advantages it provides. Given the bandwidth limitations inherent with movie downloads, it would seem hard to believe that Apple TV's HD downloads could compete with Blu-Ray in terms of quality. Gizmodo invented a quality timeline that put VHS at 1 and Blu-Ray at 10, and arbitrarily placed HD cable at 7 and Apple TV at 5. However, Charles Starrett of iLounge took screen shot photos that indicate that scale actually needs to tip in favor of Apple TV.
The article Apple TV 2.0 vs. Blu-Ray, DVD & HD Cable: The Comparison presents a variety of still and action shots comparing an upconverted DVD, HD cable, Apple TV, and Blu-Ray disc played by a PS3. In static images, Apple TV's HD downloads were sharper and more defined than upconverted DVD and less pixelated than the noisy, highly compressed HD Cable, although still softer than Blu-Ray.
These examples from Live Free or Die Hard zoom in to exaggerate detail; a viewer on the couch wouldn't see as much of an overall difference; Starrett noted that "because of its cleaner motion and audio, we felt that the Apple experience was better in both overall audio and video quality than the HD cable experience, and for most users, superior to renting a standard DVD as well"
HD picture quality comparison photos via iLounges Blu-Ray, DVD & HD Cable comparison
In motion sequences, Starrett wrote that the Apple TV download "exhibited little in the way of motion blur or compression artifactsit looked as good as could be expected from 720p, which is to say comfortably better than DVD quality, but shy of the best a Blu-Ray Disc can offer on a top TV. The Apple TV video also contained a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround audio track, which the HD cable version did not, and its sound didnt suffer from obvious compression issues like the cable version did."
The example photos he took indicated that Apple TV's HD clips could closely rival Blu-Ray, and where much better than the noisy upconverted DVD and far superior to the pixelated, heavily compressed HD cable version. In addition to having better audio than cable, Apple TV also presented the movie in its normal theatrical screen format; the cable version was presented as an open matte, which fills up the screen but is not accurate to how the director intended to present the film.
HD picture quality comparison photos via iLounges Blu-Ray, DVD & HD Cable comparison
As we presented in the previous installment, the encoding quality performed by the studios that submit their content to download services like iTunes can vary greatly. Individual DVDs and Blu-Ray discs can also vary in quality between movies depending how much effort was put into the mastering process. HD cable providers also get varying levels of quality in the content they deliver, but their distribution systems rely so heavily on compression to serve up quantity rather than quality that heavy artifacting and muddy sound are pretty much a given.
It seems pretty clear that Apple TV's HD quality is decent enough to compete against the technically superior HD disc formats and also improves over upconverted DVD. It also offers convenience and price advantages for casual renters that make it a compelling alternative to disc players. Add in the fact that Apple TV does a whole lot more than just rent movies, and it's clear why Apple invested so much into revising the unit.

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) cause a large number of cancers of the mouth and throat, cervix and genital organs. HPV are the most common sexually transmitted viruses in the United States, and the highest prevalence of HPV infection is found in sexually active adolescents and young adults.
In a revised policy statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) updates its recommendations for the use of HPV vaccine in both males and females.
The statement, "HPV Vaccine Recommendations," is published in the March 2012 Pediatrics (published online Feb. 27) and provides the rationale and background to support the HPV vaccine recommendations in the 2012 Adolescent Immunization Schedule (published Feb. 1).
The AAP recommends routine HPV vaccination of males and females at 11-12 years of age. The vaccine is most effective if administered before the onset of sexual activity, and antibody responses to the vaccine are highest at ages 9 through 15 years.
Immunization of children against HPV infection will help prevent cancers and genital warts caused by HPV.

(Phoenix, Ariz. -- July 19, 2010) Attorney General Terry Goddard today called federal actions to strengthen security along the Mexican border a step in the right direction, but he said the Obama administration needs to place much greater emphasis on defeating the Mexico-based cartels that control drug-smuggling and human-trafficking into Arizona.
"The border enforcement actions announced today are overdue, but a welcome step forward," Goddard said. "They are not, however, going to stop the flow of drugs, guns and illegal immigrants across our border as long as the cartels continue to thrive. As I stated in a letter this month to President Obama, the growth in size, strength and sophistication of the Mexican cartels presents the most immediate threat to the security of Arizonans. We need a much stronger federal commitment to bring them down."
The federal actions include the deployment of some 1,200 National Guard troops to the Southwest border, beginning Aug. 1; the assignment of more than 300 additional Border Patrol agents and customs officers to Arizona; the allocation of six additional aircraft and new mobile surveillance systems to the Tucson sector, and a new program to increase the prosecution of criminal aliens arrested for re-entering the U.S. after prior removal.
"Bolstering manpower and technology will help," Goddard said. "But our border will never be secure as long as the cartels are so deeply entrenched, so well-funded and operate so brazenly. The cartel leaders need to be identified and brought to justice by all means available."
Goddard also commended a bill introduced today by U.S. Reps. Harry Mitchell (D-Ariz.) and Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.) to help law enforcement diminish the number of drop houses in metro Phoenix used by the cartels as way stations for human-smuggling. The Stop the Drop Houses Act would close a federal loophole and allow civil forfeiture to be used to seize homes being utilized as drop houses. Under current law, civil forfeiture can be used to seize other property used in smuggling crimes, but not houses. Estimates of the number of drop houses in the Phoenix area have ranged as high as 1,000.

This was a real conversation the captain and I had just before he left on his latest assignment.
"Where's your Super Glue?"
"What did you break?"
"A seashell"
"Why don't you just throw it away?"
"It's one of my favorites."
"Who glues seashells, I mean who does that?"
"Why are you giving me a problem about this?"
"Because you have at least a thousand of them that look just like that."
"Who are you, the seashell police?"
"I mean, really, why glue a broken shell. Who does that?"
"You said that already. You should get some new material. I hear what you're saying, but I could still use it someday, it came from that dumpster in Nantucket, remember the one that had mounds of scallop shells around it?"
"Oh, right."
"Yeah and remember it was raining and freezing and I found a plastic bag on the beach and filled it up with shells and wanted to come back with a box and you told me that I had enough and I was bordering the line over to crazy and I said enough was when I had them ALL, and you made me leave, remember?"
He gives me a look.
"Well…if you had let me take as many as I wanted (all of them), I wouldn't be so attached to this one but you made me leave all of his brothers and sisters behind so I feel obligated to rescue this little guy."
'What are you looking like that for? You knew I was like this twenty years ago; it's not like this is new information. Stop stalling and hand over the glue."
"Why don't you use your glue gun?"
"OMG, what is your problem! Cos its not as precise and…geez. why are you giving me such a hard time? Are you like a prosecuting attorney or something? Maybe you missed your calling; you could quit being a captain and go to law school."
There's that look again.
"OK, you are trying my last nerve. Just hand over the glue before you get hurt or you're not gonna get buckwheat pancakes for breakfast!"
"Here ya go, just don't glue your fingers together like you did last time."
This is what it's like around here. Do you see why people say we're like two peas in a pod?

Spirit making numerous appearances with patriotic program
Robert Black had already put together the program of patriotic music for Wayland Baptist University's musical ensemble Spirit weeks before the events of Sept. 11. But since that date, his group has been called on much more frequently to present their short program to a variety of groups.
"I bet we've done a program an average of every three days this month, and we have several more already scheduled for October," said Black, assistant professor of music at Wayland and the group's director.
"Everyone's just been calling me, and I assume its just word of mouth. We've had to turn down several events because we just can't keep the kids out of class that much."
Spirit will perform a 20-minute musical program titled "With Liberty and Justice For All," featuring songs from the musical intertwined with quotes, at a patriotic rally planned by Plainview mayor Lloyd Woods at noon on Friday, Oct. 5 at the Hale County Courthouse.
The program includes an arrangement of "The Star-Spangled Banner" by the Gaither Vocal Band, "Procession of the Patriots," featuring the theme songs of the armed forces, "God Bless the USA," a reading of the Pledge of Allegiance and a few spirituals.
The group performed at graduation ceremonies at Wayland's Arizona campuses in Phoenix and Sierra Vista. They also performed in chapel the day following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington and sang at the traveling Vietnam Memorial exhibit in Plainview last weekend.
Black said the patriotic "God Bless the USA" is always a favorite, especially at the military bases where Wayland campuses are located.
"Spirit does that song probably 50 times a year. In the past, we've gotten tired of it because we've sung it so much," Black said. "But we've had no complaints at all this year. It's become a rallying song for the country. I think it says what we're all feeling."
Besides their patriotic fall program, Spirit also has a more spiritual program featuring contemporary Christian tunes, and has a Christmas repertoire as well. Their spring program and concert consist of musical theatre and popular music selections blended with choreography.
Black also noted that Spirit is a unique group.
"These students are work-study employees, they receive class credit and it's a ministry," he said. "For many, I would say it is also a calling, to take their spiritual witness into the community."
Founded in 1976 as the Spirit of America Singers, the group performs in churches, service clubs, schools and other venues and presents a full concert each spring. Spirit includes John Ed Baker, Braxton Edwards, Paul Harkey, David Harper, Marleny Morales, Julie Reid, Andrea Turner and Angela Zanon. Jamar Jordan is sound technician for the group.

About Me
- Rabbi Chaim Coffman
- Rabbi Coffman has helped people from all across the spectrum to prepare themselves properly for Orthodox Conversion to Judaism. His students admire his vast knowledge and appreciate his warm, personal attention and endearing sense of humor.
Welcome to Rabbi Chaim Coffman's Blog!
I would like to thank you for visiting my blog, Beyond Orthodox Conversion to Judaism.
The conversion process can be a lengthy and daunting one to say the least and I want you to know that I am here to help you through it.
I have been teaching newcomers to Judaism for over a decade and over the last few years I have seen that conversion candidates really lack the support and knowledge they need to navigate the conversion process and successfully integrate into the Orthodox Jewish community.
I created my mentorship program in order to help make this whole experience as smooth and as painless as possible! (Can't do much about the growing pains, though ;)
Feel free to get to know me a little through the posts on my blog and visit the mentorship and syllabus page if you are interested in possible joining us.
I sincerely wish you all the best in your search for truth and spiritual growth.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Chaim Coffman

My Rebbe, Rav Moshe Sternbuch
In case you were wondering why I have all of these articles written by Rav Moshe Sternbuch, he is my Rebbe, and one of the gedolei hador (greatest Rabbis of our generation).
Rav Sternbuch fully endorses me and supports my mentorship program.
He is the address for all of my halachic or hashkafic (practical and philosophical) questions that I or my students may have.
The articles are based on his weekly talks on the Torah portion that the Rav gives in Jerusalem in his kollel. As a member of the kollel I get first dibbs on the photocopies and I type them up for my blog so you can all benefit from the Rav's erudition and insight.

Types of Emuno
12:05 PM | Posted by Rabbi Chaim Coffman | | Edit Post
By Rav Moshe Sternbuch
Pride of Bnei Torah
Let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh (8:7). Rashi: Since they [the leviyim] were submitted in atonement for the firstborn who had practiced idolatry [when they worshipped the golden calf], which is called sacrifices to the dead - and one afflicted with tzaora'as is considered dead - they required shaving like those afflicted with tzaora'as
It is difficult to understand why the Leviyim had to be shaved, and not the firstborn, and, in any case, we also do not find anywhere that idol worshippers are shaved.
A metzora who speaks loshon horo is sent out of the camp and shaved so that he will become repulsive and other people will keep a distance from him. That way he will learn to bridle his speech and refrain from speaking loshon horo in the future. Similarly, the Leviyim had to shave their hair in order to look different from the rest of the nation. Since they were the recipients of ma'asros and other gifts some members of the nation are likely to consider them to be "parasites" living off other people. By shaving their heads the Leviyim are given the message that they must be willing to endure humiliation like a metzora, and must not let this affect their pride at being servants of Hashem who are responsible for the nation's continued existence against all the odds.
Nowadays, as the Rambam tells us, anyone who dedicates his life to Torah acquires the status of a ben Levi, and they too must have the confidence and positive pride to be able to swim against the tide of public opinion, and against warped ideologies and materialism. Only daas Torah guides their actions, regardless of the reactions of people around them.
Moving and stationary Torah
When the oron travelled, Moshe said: "Rise up Hashem, and let Your enemies be scattered; and let those who hate You flee before You (10:35)
And when it rested, he said: Return, Hashem, to the tens of thousands of the families of Yisroel (10:36)
The gemoro (Shabbos 116a) says that these two pessukim constitute two separate parashiyos in their own right, and for this reason two inverted nuns appear before and after them, so that they must be conveying a message of fundamental importance.
It is only when the oron, i.e. the Torah, travels, only when it is being disseminated to distant quarters, to all Jews around the globe, that the Jewish nation is worthy of defeating its enemies and having them flee before them. It is only when bnei Torah are concerned not only for themselves, but for the whole nation, that we are saved from misfortunes. It turns out that outreach is a recipe not only for spiritual growth, but also for our physical survival.
However, for the shechino to remain with us, we must ensure that the oron rests, i.e. that the Torah remains concentrated in and focused on its main abode, the Yeshivos and Kollelim. Without them the nation has no hope of surviving.
indivisible Torah
This was the form of the menorah: hammered work of gold, from its base to its flower it was hammered work (8:7)
The menorah was chiseled from one whole unit rather than being made piece by piece and then connected together. Since the menorah is a symbol of the Torah this may be taken as a reference to its indivisibility. Just like a soldier does not have any discretion to decide which orders to obey, so too the soldiers of Hashem cannot pick and choose between different types of mitzvos, because they all have the same divine source.
The entire menorah, including its base and flowers, were part of the chiseled unit. This indicates that hidur mitzvah, the beautification of mitzvos by observing them in accordance with all their details and embellishments, are part and parcel of the performance of the mitzvah itself.
Early retirement
From the age of fifty he shall retire from the service of the work, and do no more work (8:25). Rashi: the work of carrying on the shoulders; however, he can return to [the work of] locking the gates, singing, and loading the wagons
Why does Rashi refer to the work of locking the gates, and not opening them? We can understand this on the basis of the statement by the Chofetz Chaim zt"l , who said that anyone who has reached the age of 50 has to slacken his interest in worldly matters to some extent, and to prepare himself for the world which is completely good. In addition to "locking" neila also means "closing". Hence, Rashi's reference to locking the gates may be taken as an allusion to the work required to be intensified as we reach the age of 50 and enter the closing stage of our lives.
He shall minister with his brethren [literally: he shall serve his brethren] in the Tent of Meeting to keep the charge, but he shall not perform the service (8:26)
Sometimes a person's main task in this world is to serve his brethren by performing charitable deeds and the like. A charity overseer once told Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld zt"l that he had decided to resign from his position and dedicate his life to learning Torah. So far from expressing his delight, Rav Sonnenfeld responded that the gemara says that a levi with the job of singing, who instead serves as a gatekeeper, is subject to death by the hands of heaven (Masseches Arachin 11b).
Just like the work of the leviyim was divided between gatekeepers, guards and singers, so too some people are required to dedicate their entire lives to Torah, whereas others are supposed put a greater emphasis on other aspects of avodas Hashem. The main thing is that everybody's intention should be to perform the will of our Father in Heaven. Rav Sonnenfeld told this person that he must continue with his current activities.
And you shall be to us (instead of) eyes (10:31). Rashi: you shall enlighten us [with your guidance].
We would have thought that the generation of the wilderness had no shortage of zekeinim to enlighten and guide them. Why did they need Yisro?
One possibility is that righteous proselytes and baalei teshuva who cleave to Hashem following their intellectual searches are in a better position to teach the rest of the nation about intellectual faith and serving Hashem with our intellect than those who have been educated from childhood to follow in the path of Hashem and who have become accustomed to it. This may be what chazal had in mind when they stated that baalei teshuva are superior to tzaddikim.
Similarly, nowadays we find that many of those involved in outreach are themselves baalei teshuva originally, and this is only natural because they are best qualified to engage in these activities.
Rav Sternbuch heard an alternative explanation from the late Satmarer Rebbe, Rav Yoel zt"l. Yisro grew up amongst non-Jews, and had been one of Paroh's advisers. He was therefore very conversant with the outlook and mentality of the erev rav, which were now having such a negative influence on the Jews and giving them so much trouble and he was therefore best qualified to advise the nation about how to deal with them.
Simple Faith
Not so is My servant Moshe; he is faithful in all My house (12:7).
Moshe Rabbeinu, the greatest of the prophets, remained faithful "in all My house", i.e. in all matters relating to avodas Hashem he maintained pure and simple faith performing mitzvos without seeking to comprehend them with his intellect. Similarly, the Baal Shem Tov zt"l would say that after everything he had attained, he wished to serve Hashem with simple faith.
The Chosid Yaavetz, who was born in Spain and was forced to leave during the Expulsion in 1492, wrote that during the period of the Inquisition the Jewish philosophers were the first to convert or to become Marranoes, whereas the non-intellectual population, imbued with simple faith, refused to succumb. The philosophers just used their philosophical knowledge to rationalize their actions. Whilst there is room for a philosophical appreciation of Hashem's existence, for example in the context of outreach work as we have just seen, experience shows that simple emuno is the higher level to strive for.
Vanquishing Evil
11:51 AM | Posted by Rabbi Chaim Coffman | | Edit Post
By Rav Moshe Sternbuch
Take a census of the sons of Gershon, of them too, following their fathers' houses, according to their families (4:21)
The fathers' houses must be according to their families, i.e. someone with an illustrious ancestry must live up to the greatness of his ancestors. Yichus imposes obligations and should primarily inspire us to become aware of our own inherent potential greatness and of the ramifications of failing to realize it.
The Shlo Hakodosh comments that the possuk towards the end of the tochocho in Bechukosay "then will I remember My covenant with Yaakov, and also My covenant with Yitzchok, and also My covenant with Avrohom will I remember" is not a reference to the merit of our forefathers, but, on the contrary, a reminder of our failure to emulate their deeds, which resulted in the calamities foretold in that parsha.
From the age of thirty years and upward until the age of fifty years, who are fit to perform the service for the service (laavod es avodas avodo) (4:47)
How are we to understand the phrase avodas avodo? Superficially, someone who carries the poles of the oron does not seem to be performing a divine service of obvious importance, but in reality this act is suffused with major kedusho, because any act enabling an avoda to be performed is itself an act of avodo.
In the same vein, we see with the poro adumo that atonement is achieved even by means of something as seemingly insignificant as the ashes of the cow, because any object used to perform the will of Hashem per se acquires fundamental significance.
Unintentional sins
When a man or woman commits any of the sins against man to act treacherously against Hashem (5:6)
Even sins committed inadvertently are considered to be treacherous acts which stain the soul and require atonement. The Vilna Gaon explains that this is because Hashem arranges events in such a manner that a person will commit an inadvertent act because his soul has already been damaged due to an intentional sin committed previously, even in a different area. Had he not committed the previous sin, Hashem would have saved him from the current unintentional pitfall.
Then the kohen shall write these curses on a scroll and erase it in the bitter water (5:23)
The medrash says if it is permitted to erase the name of Hashem for the sake of making peace between husband and wife, all the more so is it permitted to erase books by minim (people who deny the fundamental articles of faith) even if they contain the names of Hashem, because they create hostility towards the Creator.
The din of the soto is a novelty, because, normally speaking, a woman does not become forbidden to her husband merely because she secluded herself with another person, and it is only because of the severe impact that immorality has on the sanctity of the nation that a special gezeiras hakosuv makes the soto forbidden until she drinks the bitter water even though it is very likely that she did not commit actual adultery.
Similarly, books written by minim must be destroyed even at the expense of erasing the divine name, and even though there does not appear to be any obvious fault with the contents, because the danger of minus is very great, especially when it is wrapped up in various garbs of supposed kedusha. Only gedolei yisroel, using their unsullied and unbiased judgment, are in a position to decide what we must keep a distance from and we must obey their rulings.
Minus includes publications such as newspapers (even nominally religious ones) which convey the impression that the world is run by politicians or the laws of nature, rather than by Hashem, and scientific works written by minim, even if they contain no manifest minus.
The effect of nezirus
And after this, the nozir may drink wine (6:20)
Once the nozir has completed all the actions annulling his status as a nozir it seems obvious that he reverts to his former status and may once again drink wine, so this phrase seems superfluous.
The Avnei Nezer suggests that we might have thought that since the nozir initially took a vow to abstain altogether from wine because he realized the detrimental effects which his addiction to wine was having on him, he should continue his period of total abstention, even after he stops being a nozir. The possuk therefore emphasizes that the experience of keeping the halochos of nezirus with all the associated humiliation, is sufficient to wean him from this weakness and he may now drink wine – within halachik boundaries - without hesitation.
Dependency on torah
This is how you shall bless the bnei yisroel (6:23)
Hashem decided that we need the blessings of the kohanim for the sake of both our spiritual and our material welfare. At the time of the Beis Hamikdosh the kohanim represented the elite of the nation, the talmidei chachomim. Since the churbon the nation has become dependent, in addition, on the merits afforded by talmidei chachomim and bnei Torah as a whole.
At a time of sundry internal and external problems the issue that seems to evoke the greatest consensus amongst politicians in Eretz Yisroel is the drafting of yeshiva bochurim to the army. How tragic it is that they do not realize the extent of their folly. Without Torah there can be no question of any continued survival in this country. They may attribute their supposed achievements to the strength of their own handiwork, the skill and power of the army etc., but that is all a mere delusion.
May Hashem… protect you [Sifri: from the evil inclination] … and grant you peace (6:24-26)
A person who is dominated by his evil inclination and subjugated to his desires can enjoy no peace. This brocho of peace at the end of the birkas kohanim is a blessing for protection from the yetzer horo and freedom from the captivity of the desires with which it seeks to allure us.
The Baal Haturim (parashas Toldos 25:25) notes that Eisov has the same gematria as sholom. The Avnei Nezer explains that there are two ways of attaining peace. Eisov achieved peace by not engaging in any battles whatsoever with the evil inclination, with the result that it did not bother chasing him at all, and they concluded a bogus "peace pact".
The righteous, on the other hand, achieve genuine peace only after incessant battles with the yetzer horo. Although even the righteous cannot vanquish the evil inclination in this world, and in fact their ever-increasing greatness is dependent on their battles with it, the blessing of the kohen is that the righteous should be successful in these battles to such an extent that by using the power of their good inclination they are completely victorious in one area, so that they can move on to another areas, thus increasing their nekudas habechira (see Michtav Mi'eliyohu) perpetually.
Unique contributions
One nosi each day, one nosi each day, shall present his offering for the dedication of the altar (7:11)
The Torah is usually very sparse with its words. Numerous details of halocho such as hilchos Shabbos are encapsulated in a few words. Why, then, in the parashas henesi'im are the korbonos of each nosi repeated in such great detail?
If we picture a minyan davening shmone eisre in mincha together everyone appears to be performing the same act. Everyone is saying the same words. However, in shomayim each person's mincha bears no resemblance whatsoever to his neighbour's. One person may be praying with total concentration following years of avoda dedicated to controlling his thoughts, whereas the next person may still be struggling unsuccessfully with his level of concentration. A third person may not even be struggling, but merely mouthing the words.
The nesi'im were obviously all men of immense stature, but even they were not clones of each other. Each one had a unique personality and contribution to make to the avoda of the korbonos. By describing their korbonos at such great length, the Torah is teaching us that it is each person's input into the external act of a mitzvah which constitutes its main component. The joy and dedication accompanying mitzvos are the elements which elevate them to superior levels in the upper worlds and completely change their effect and how they are viewed in shomayim.

There's been plenty of focus on who will be playing quarterback for the Eagles in Chip Kelly's first season as head coach, but that's not the only offensive position impacted by Kelly's arrival on the sideline.
Kelly's Oregon teams ran the ball with great success and that's got people in Philly excited about what LeSean McCoy might be able to do in the offense. He's coming off a year ruined by a concussion, but McCoy has shown the skills to thrive in an offense that gives running backs plenty to do and his position coach believes the sky's the limit for what McCoy can do in the years to come.
"He can be the best," Eagles running backs coach Duce Staley said, via Sheil Kapadia of PhillyMag.com. "He can be the best to play the game."
Staley gets an A+ for hyperbole to throw out such a thought at this point in McCoy's career, although we wouldn't be surprised to see McCoy get a lot more chances to prove Staley right than he got in some moments during Andy Reid's tenure. The new Eagles offense should give McCoy plenty to do and should make good use of his abilities as both a runner and a receiver over the course of the season.
He might not wind up being mentioned alongside Brown or Payton, but the Eagles don't need him to be in order to see the kind of productivity that gets their offense back on track.

COSTA MESA – Addressing what advocates say is most sorely needed, the City Council on Tuesday selected two nonprofits to develop long-term apartments for the city's homeless.
The council voted 4-0 to partner with Mercy House Living Centers and Wakeland Housing to develop about 50 flats. Mayor Jim Righeimer serves on the Mercy House board of directors and recused himself from the vote.
The apartments will be the capstone in the city's plan to reduce homelessness. Launched more than two years ago, the campaign has combined increased social services and stricter law enforcement – "carrots and sticks" – to get some of the roughly 200 chronically homeless off Costa Mesa's streets.
"We have heard a lot about carrots and sticks," said Becks Heyhoe, the director of the Churches Consortium, a group that assists homeless. "Tonight we're hearing about the golden carrot. … Housing solves homelessness."
The city's proposed "supportive housing" would include services like mental-health therapy and substance-abuse counseling, in addition to long-term apartments.
But at this early stage, the city has not determined how or where to develop the apartments.
Some in the administration view this as an opportunity to address two recurring issues: a chance to purchase and redevelop one of the city's motels that attract violence and drugs, while helping homeless people off the streets.
Others believe new housing construction could be less expensive and take less time to complete than a motel conversion.
The ultimate form and location will also depend on residents' preferences, city Assistant CEO Rick Francis said after the meeting.
Funding for the project needs to be arranged. In its request for proposals, the city told developers it has identified federal grants and general funds totaling about $1 million, which could be used to buy and convert a motel into homeless housing.
The city and nonprofits are also considering more than a dozen local, state and federal programs that could subsidize construction or tenants' rent, according to a staff report.
Apartments would be available for "Costa Mesa homeless residents" only. The city's definition is someone who, for the 18 months before a given date, had strong ties to the community. Officials will accept things like proof of an immediate family member living in town or children attending a Costa Mesa K-12 school.
City administrators received six applications from housing development teams, and chose Mercy House because of its track record securing county housing funds, according to the staff report, and its established relationships with Costa Mesa faith-based groups working on homelessness.
Larry Haynes, executive director of the Santa Ana faith-based nonprofit, volunteered to lead the city's Homeless Task Force, which made the recommendation to develop supportive housing. Mercy House operates the county's two cold-weather homeless shelters, and was selected to run the upcoming year-round shelter in Fullerton.
"We're very honored," Haynes said after the meeting. "Our goal is not to manage homelessness, but to end homelessness."
Mercy House's partner, Wakeland Housing, is a San Diego-based nonprofit affordable housing developer that has acquired and rehabilitated more than 5,700 apartments, its proposal said. Wakeland has $27.7 million of assets, according to its 2010 tax forms.
Funds are tight in Costa Mesa. The city has a $411,000 federal affordable housing grant that administrators would like to use this year, but the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development must first sign off on the housing project by June 30 – a tight deadline.
Now, the city plans to negotiate an agreement with the developer and will start looking for a site, or multiple sites.
"We are serious, and want to do something to help homeless people get their lives back together," Councilwoman Wendy Leece said.

investigation will vary depending upon the nature of the allegations, the age of the student or students involved (particularly in elementary and secondary schools), the size and administrative structure of the school, and other factors. Yet as discussed in more detail below, the school's inquiry must in all cases be prompt, thorough, and impartial. In cases involving potential criminal conduct, school personnel must determine, consistent with State and local law, whether appropriate law enforcement or other authorities should be notified.13
Schools also should inform and obtain consent from the complainant (or the complainant's parents if the complainant is under 18 and does not attend a postsecondary institution) before beginning an investigation. If the complainant requests confidentiality or asks that the complaint not be pursued, the school should take all reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the complaint consistent with the request for confidentiality or request not to pursue an investigation. If a complainant insists that his or her name or other identifiable information not be disclosed to the alleged perpetrator, the school should inform the complainant that its ability to respond may be limited.14 The school also should tell the complainant that Title IX prohibits retaliation, and that school officials will not only take steps to prevent retaliation but also take strong responsive action if it occurs.
As discussed in the 2001 Guidance, if the complainant continues to ask that his or her name or other identifiable information not be revealed, the school should evaluate that request in the context of its responsibility to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment for all students. Thus, the school may weigh the request for confidentiality against the following factors: the seriousness of the alleged harassment; the complainant's age; whether there have been other harassment complaints about the same individual; and the alleged harasser's rights to receive information about the allegations if the information is maintained by the school as an "education record" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 C.F.R. Part 99.15 The school should inform the complainant if it cannot ensure confidentiality. Even if the school cannot take disciplinary action against the alleged harasser because the complainant insists on confidentiality, it should pursue other steps to limit the effects of the alleged harassment and prevent its recurrence. Examples of such steps are discussed later in this letter.Compliance with Title IX, such as publishing a notice of nondiscrimination, designating an employee to coordinate Title IX compliance, and adopting and publishing grievance procedures, can serve as preventive measures against harassment. Combined with education and training programs, these measures can help ensure that all students and employees recognize the

states with mandatory reporting laws, schools may be required to report certain
incidents to local law enforcement or child protection agencies.
14 Schools should refer to the 2001 Guidance for additional information on confidentiality and the alleged perpetrator's due process rights.
15 For example, the alleged harasser may have a right under FERPA to inspect and review portions of the complaint that directly relate to him or her. In that case, the school must redact the complainant's name and other identifying information before allowing the alleged harasser to inspect and review the sections of the complaint that relate to him or her. In some cases, such as those where the school is required to report the incident to local law enforcement or other officials, the school may not be able to maintain the complainant's confidentiality.

GASTON COUNTY, NC (WBTV) - It has all the makings of Hollywood movie: sex, blackmail and Facebook. A bizarre story with unexpected twists and turns.
The main character: Kwanda Carpenter, 33, a bus driver for Bessemer City High School.
Gaston County police say Carpenter went to the school's resource officer last week, claiming two students were trying to extort money from her through social media.
"Blackmailing her through Facebook messages for $60," said Sgt. Josh Hamlin.
But Hamlin started to investigate, "as they like to say, there was more to the story," he recalled.
Much more, in fact.
Police said Carpenter was being blackmailed for having sexual contact with two 17 year-old male students.
The incident, they say, happened in Carpenter's car late one night last fall.
"She picked them up in car at 10 o'clock one night in October...took them to a dead end in street had sexual contact with them in her vehicle and then took them back home," Hamlin said.
While Hamlin says he's investigated his fair share of inappropriate relationships between school staff and students -- this case is a first for him.
"This is the first time in 17 years of law enforcement I've had the alleged victims try to extort or blackmail the alleged suspect," he said.
But it's the manner in which the students allegedly blackmailed Carpenter that Hamlin said should serve as a warning to teens.
"Everybody uses Facebook and I don't know why they think Facebook is private or that people aren't going to find out about because it's not," he said.
Hamlin wouldn't comment on if they are still investigating Carpenter, only that the case is now closed. He also said there are no prior incidents of this kind involving Carpenter.
She now faces a felony sex offense charge and the two 17-year-old students are charged with blackmail.

Whimsic Alley calls itself "a shopping haven for wizards of distinction," catering to "Harry Potter" fans with merchandise that includes wands, books, neckties and sweater vests for those looking to re-create the boy wizard's look.
It even has a Hogwarts-style "Great Hall" that can be rented out for children's birthday parties and is reminiscent of a hall of the same name in the "Harry Potter" series' fictional boarding school for wizards.
Now the Miracle Mile shop is the target of a lawsuit filed by
The suit filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles seeks to stop Whimsic Alley owner Stanley Goldin from selling goods that it says infringe on the studio's "Harry Potter" trademarks, and seeks unspecified monetary damages. A trial is set for January.
Both Goldin and Warner Bros. declined to comment, but legal analysts say it's no surprise that Warner's consumer products division would want to guard its lucrative "Potter" franchise against imitators.
"This guy is getting as close to the line as possible and maybe crosses it," said Allen Grodsky, an attorney who specializes in intellectual property litigation and reviewed the case for The Times. Whimsic Alley "isn't going to hurt them that much, but if this guy is going to be allowed to do this, then anybody can do it."
The studio, which released eight "Potter" movies that, combined, grossed more than $7.7 billion in theaters worldwide, is preparing to launch a new film series from "Potter" author J.K. Rowling, who will write the first installment's screenplay. The new franchise is based on a short volume from the "Potter" canon: 2001's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
"In the right hands, per movie, they should make approximately $100 million from licensing income from toys, apparel and stuff like that," said Lutz Muller, chief executive of Klosters Trading Corp., a consumer products consulting firm in Williston, Vt.
The "Potter" brand also is spawning two new Universal Studios theme park attractions, including a Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Japan and a similar project at Universal Studios Hollywood that could open in 2016.
The studio has alleged that Whimsic Alley's wares and services — including its merchandise, its Great Hall and a forthcoming "wizard cruise" on an ocean liner — infringe on the studio's trademarks and trade dress by offering products "identical or similar in nature to and directly competitive" with licensed wares. Warner Bros. alleges this is "likely to cause confusion, mistake and deception among prospective purchasers."
Goldin's attorney did not respond to requests for comment, but they have filed court papers disputing many of the allegations.
His company says he got into the "Harry Potter" business "almost entirely by accident" after holding senior management positions at
Goldin started selling merchandise online, and opened Whimsic Alley in Santa Monica in 2004, hiring a Hollywood set designer to create an interior reminiscent of a fictional London shopping district, catering to wizards, that is a key part of the "Potter" world.
"I decided that if I was going to do this, I wanted to appeal to 'Harry Potter' fans," Goldin told Costco Connection magazine, which included with its 2006 story a photograph of the smiling businessman dressed in "Potter"-style garb and clutching a wand.
Whimsic Alley, which moved to its Wilshire Boulevard location in 2010, has emerged as an unofficial gathering place for "Harry Potter" fans. On a recent weekday afternoon, a worker who sported a hairstyle reminiscent of "Potter" villain Draco Malfoy's rang up a customer, while a Spanish-speaking couple meandered down a long hall replete with chandeliers festooned in faux cobwebs. A trio of youngsters perused a display of wands.
Customer Caity Knox, 27, said it would be a shame if the legal dispute forced the store to close.
"Whimsic Alley is being bullied and made an example of," she said. "On Harry Potter's birthday, you will see people just going there to hang out and talk about stuff."
Warner Bros. isn't alone in vigorously defending its trademarks.
Whimsic Alley sells some licensed "Potter" merchandise, though a significant portion of its wares are unofficial and merely reminiscent of clothing and other objects from the wizard's universe. It also stocks merchandise from other franchises, including TV's
It's possible that Goldin and Warner Bros. could reach a settlement — as they did after the studio filed a lawsuit against Goldin in 2004 that contained similar allegations. That case ended in a settlement in which Goldin agreed to stop using or displaying items that featured "Harry Potter" trademarks — or other "confusingly similar" products — in connection with the sale of merchandise, according to the studio's new lawsuit.
"They can say, 'You did this once before, and now you are crossing the line once again,'" attorney Grodsky said. "I understand why Warner Bros. is upset."
Warner Bros.' latest lawsuit was filed in March, about a month after Whimsic Alley got media attention for offering a four-night "wizard cruise" on a
Although the lawsuit comes down to the question of whether consumers could be confused by Whimsic Alley's wares, Knox said she is aware that much of the store's merchandise isn't licensed.
"I don't think any 'Harry Potter' fans actually identify the franchise as property of Warner Bros.," she said. "'Harry Potter' is very personal to millions of people, and I really doubt that any significant number of them connect that relationship to Warner Bros."
Actually, the fact that Whimsic Alley carries unlicensed merchandise is a plus for her.
"If I am going to dress up as Harry Potter, I am not going to buy something that has a logo on it," Knox said. "I want to buy something that an actual wizard would have."
