2/19 South Side Soup Contest - Volunteers Needed
See below for a message from Jennifer Jeffers, Committee Chair for the Soup Contest:
The Seventh Annual South Side Soup Contest will be held on Saturday, Feb. 19, from noon to 3pm.
Last year's event far exceeded expectations, raising over $20,000 and more than 1,000 canned food items for The Brashear Association Food Pantry. This is a wonderful event that showcases the South Side neighborhood and a great opportunity for South Side residents and local business owners to work together for a good cause.
A large event such as this takes a lot of time and energy, which is why we're reaching out for volunteer support. Right now, we're specifically in need of Soup Captains. The Soup Captain acts as the onsite manager at each of the soup stops overseeing volunteers, checking in contest attendees, and monitoring soup and other supplies. In addition, the Soup Caption will be the direct point of contact for the event management staff. The Soup Captain must be present at the retail location for the duration of the event and are integral to the management and success of the event.
Below is a link to WQED OnDemand, who did a feature on last year's event. The short video provides further information about the contest and the Brashear Association's Food Pantry.

If you're interested in being a Soup Captain this year, please contact me. There will be a Soup Captain Orientation meeting on Wednesday, February 16th at 6pm at the Brashear Association, where we will go into further detail. If you aren't able to be a Soup Captain but would still like to volunteer, please let me know. We have many duties available for our volunteers. Any time that can be offered is greatly appreciated!

Helmets and heads
Sports such as hockey and football should start to use throw-away helmets, much like bike helmets. A bike helmet works once. Then it breaks or cracks. Then it is worthless and needs to be tossed away.
In hockey, some have called for the removal of helmets to make the game safe. Rather than remove the helmet, make it a helmet that breaks if it has an impact that is too hard. Then the player and his broken helmet would need to sit out the rest of the game.
I favor throw away helmets, not toss away players.

After rejecting a proposal that would have forced players to sit out at least one play if their helmet is dislodged, the committee decided to gather data on how prevalent the problem is in college football."
The Eagle gives insights into Wikipedia and some kid named Donovan
The Eagle: "Wikipedia Ain’t So Bad, and Yes, I’m a Geek
-Ah Wikipedia, it’s the first thing up when you Google something, it contains more than 17 million articles, and has more than 365 million readers. Almost every kid in America has seen its white pages at least once in their lives. Wikipedia even has its sister sites that range from anything that focuses from video games to military secrets. But in schools Wikipedia and all of its sister sites are shunned, exiled, and segregated from the other articles on the internet. Teachers, or at least some of them, believe that Wikipedia will contain false information. And they don’t want anything Wikipedia-related in a student’s work. But just how reliable is Wikipedia?"
