It's been a while since my last post. Retreat followed by an absolutely crazy time in the parish left my contemplative well a little dry, admittedly. That said, these weeks haven't been altogether fruitless. I've been studying a wonderful part of the Christian life, "Holy Foolishness," something alluded to on this page, but today, I'd like to draw together a few things from DC life through this particular prism.
Holy Foolishness begins with Christ himself. The Lord's coming down from heaven to save a Creation for which he had absolutely no need (He's God. He doesn't need anything.), makes not sense; it is foolish. He did it for the sake of love… Love of the Father who asked if of him… Love of his Creation… a love that is inefficient and gratuitous. This same foolishness finds textual expression in St. Paul who speaks beautifully about being a madman for Christ (I Cor 4). The fool for Christ is prefigured in David who, overcome by the gift of victory he's received from the Lord, dances naked before the ark entering Jerusalem. David became like a little child, a fool in the eyes of many.
Stupified as he peered beyond reason into the depths of mystery, Thomas identified with the fool.
Here in DC, following Pope Francis' visit to our city can we, perhaps, engage in a little foolishness? On a visit to Washington, my grandfather once commented, stunned by the beauty of Kalorama Heights, "In a city this beautiful, how can people fight with such acrimony." When we fight, isn't it – so often – over issues of human wisdom? Could we let ourselves be intoxicated by our surroundings convinced that great and good things are possible despite differences? Have we become so efficient that we no longer have time for truly inspiring folly? As an example: some might suggest that the space race was an act of inspiring folly. Yes there was the cold war dimension of the effort, but what really inspired people was not the idea of beating the Soviets to the moon, but rather the idea of human beings reaching to the stars… something inefficient, but inspired and beautiful.
In parish life I see the tension between the human wisdom of efficiency and the holy wisdom of being a little foolish. Taking time to sit in silence and adore the Blessed Sacrament… celebrating the mass beautifully… standing up for ancient teachings no longer in vogue… All are foolish, inefficient, in the eyes of the world. The temptation of the faithful is subtly evident in remarks like, "We need to be more relevant." "People won't listen to us unless…" "Isn't that wasteful…" There is a fear of being fools for Christ… a fear of dying on the Cross humiliated with him in the eyes of the world. Can we consider following our Holy Fathers, St. John XXIII, Bl. Paul VI, St. John Paul II, Benedict and now Francis in running with reckless, foolish abandon in the ways of the Church… doing so out of love for Christ? We might just discover that it's more fun in this life and the next to be fools for the Risen One, than wise in the estimation of very mortal men.
It's spring in Washington… one of our two all too brief seasons when we can enjoy outdoor activities without either freezing or melting. One of may favorite spring activities is picnicking. I don't get to do it all that often, but when I do, what a gift it is.
By it's very nature a picnic pulls us out of our normal routine… gets us to look at things differently by placing us in new surroundings. Since picnics work best bucolic settings, they can also be a chance for us to strip away the worries of the world and get back in touch with our truest nature. Two easily reached picnic destinations I've enjoyed recently are: The C&O Canal and Sugarloaf Mountain (see photos throughout this post).
The Canal was intended to be a great water highway connecting the capital with the western hinterlands of the new United States (i.e. Cumberland, MD back in the day). Never able to turn a long-term profit, the canal never really worked out. Thanks to preservationists though, it has become a hugely successful national park with ample opportunities for hiking, biking and camping from here to western Maryland.
Sugarloaf Mountain (in Dickerson, MD about an hour northwest of the city) was a privately owned estate that has now become a nature preserve with trails for hiking, climbing and mountain biking. It also boasts some wonderful opportunities for animal watching and great views of Montgomery and Frederick counties.
This "rescue" mission, Fr. Guardini goes on to say, restores man to his fullest sense of self allowing him to face the world in a more genuine way.
Guardini applies his teaching to composing ourselves in preparation for mass, but I think we can reasonably extend his thoughts to another type of meal: the picnic. Eating out in nature is a great exercise in composure. It's a chance to focus on the basics: eating, breathing, perceiving the beauty around us. Over time, the storm of other sensory and emotional distractions calms… or rather all these "other" things enter orbit around the joy of the meal. We might even suggest that if a picnic on a beautiful day is a manifestation of God's love for us, then it is precisely his LOVE that restores order to our chaos.
So, if you're feeling a little frayed at the ends this week, take advantage of the good weather, grab some food and a blanket, and enjoy a picnic… you might just come back from it a better version of yourself.


The Evolution concept is a combination of the best possible hydrodynamic ship design and a slow speed two stroke diesel engine which ensures that the Evolution vessels will be considerably more fuel efficient than any other delivered tanker of this size. In addition to exceptional fuel efficiency other green investments have been made in emission control in the Evolution concept. The Evolution vessels are equipped with HPSCR and Catamiser that have a substantial impact on the CO2 emissions and reduces the Nox emissions to below 2 g nox/ kWh. This means that the Evolution vessels qualify for the highest environmental classification with regards to the Swedish fairway due system, just to give one example. The Evolution vessels are also prepared for LNG propulsion to meet future environmental demands.
Just like the sister vessel Saturnus, delivered in the end of 2018, Mercurius is an advanced product/ chemical tanker of the highest quality built at the Avic Dingheng shipyard. The working environment onboard will ensure safe and efficient operations as well as smart and modern accommodation for the crew.
Mercurius will, as the rest of the Sirius Fleet, have Swedish flag and home port Donsö where Sirius Shipping is located. The vessel will after the delivery enter into a time charter contract for Preem and serve the Swedish, Danish and Norwegian markets. Preem is committed to drive the transition towards a sustainable society. "We are confident that Mercurius will fulfill the customers' high environmental requirements and look forward to partnering with Preem for the future" says Jonas Backman, MD Sirius Shipping.

Autocouture Motoring tuner has recently finished the pieces on this exquisite F80 BMW M3, the model looking smashing in the Sakhir Orange body wrap and the plethora of new aero kit elements. Not to mention the HRE wheels, which provide the model with a unique look and feel.
As we can depict from the pictures below, the model looks smashing and extremely hot with the rare Sakhir Orange color, the technicians also increasing its aggressive attitude by adding bespoke body parts.
We are looking here at a new aero kit consisting of gloss black kidney grille inserts, matte black air intake spoilers, black side gills, carbon front spoiler, decklid spoiler and bespoke rear diffuser.
The entire aero kit comes handy with the new HRE R101 alloy wheels, finished in Brushed Aluminum and measuring 20×8.5 and 20×10.5 front and rear. The engineers have also added the new lowering springs, which lower the car`s ride height and increase its stance and aggressive look.
We are not sure if the engineers have also added some fine modifications under the hood, but we tend to believe they didn't.
This means that this F80 BMW M3 still comes with same 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, managing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, when hooked to a six-speed manual transmission. With the high-performance seven-speed MDC-T, the same sprint is done in just 4.1 seconds.
Autocouture Motoring tuner has also released a gorgeous gallery with its latest project. Enjoy and don't forget to share your opinions with us!

Q: Reasons why $AB$ is not full column rank Let $A$ be an $m \times n$ matrix with $Rank(A)=m$ and let $B$ be an $n \times k$ matrix with $Rank(B)=k$. Assume $k \leq m$. Under what conditions is $Rank(AB)<k$ and under what conditions is $Rank(AB) = k$?
I originally thought it had to do with $AB_i \neq 0$ but the solutions show that this is not correct.
edit: The question is now rewritten for a second time since I don't feel like the solutions answer the question I had in mind.
The original question was "Let $A$ be an $m \times n$ matrix with $Rank(A)=m$ and let $B$ be an $n \times k$ matrix with $Rank(B)=k$. Assume $k \leq m$. What are the reasons that $Rank(AB)<k$? i.e., why would $Rank(AB) \neq k$?"
After the first edit the question was: "Let $A$ be an $m \times n$ matrix with $Rank(A)=m$ and let $B$ be an $n \times k$ matrix with $Rank(B)=k$. Assume $k \leq m$. Let $B_1,\ldots,B_{k}$ be the columns of $B$ and assume that $AB_i \neq 0$, for $i=1,\ldots,k$. Is $Rank(AB)=k$?"

A: Try $m=k=2,\; n=3$:
$$A = \pmatrix{1 & 1 & 0\cr 1 & 1 & 1\cr},\
   B = \pmatrix{1 & 0\cr 0 & 1\cr 0 & 0\cr},\
  AB = \pmatrix{1 & 1\cr 1 & 1\cr} $$
$A$ and $B$ have rank $2$, and all $A B_i = \pmatrix{1\cr 1\cr} \ne 0$, but $AB$ has rank $1$.

A: Here's an example:
$$\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1&0&0\\ 0&1&0\end{array}\right]
\left[\begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 0 \\1\end{array}\right]=
\left[\begin{array}{c} 0 \\ 0 \end{array}\right]$$

In three areas (taxes, entitlements and health care) the Goodman Institute is producing material not available from any other think tank.
Dear Friends of the Goodman Institute,
The Goodman Institute for Public Policy Research is making a significant impact on public policy. Our most important achievement this quarter is bicameral legislation to reform health care and replace ObamaCare. This legislation, which I helped formulate, minimizes the role of government and allows decisions to be made by individual choice and competition in the market place.
Dr. Goodman explained the GOP alternative to ObamaCare at a Hillsdale College conference at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City in April.
Republicans Coalesce on Health Reform
The Task Force advising House Speaker Paul Ryan on health reform has released a long awaited report. Although it has no numbers and no details, the report endorses general principles, many of which have already been incorporated in the Sessions-Cassidy legislation I helped draft. These include:
A uniform health tax credit, independent of income.
Denationalizing and deregulating the market for individual insurance.
Greater use of Health Savings Accounts.
Repeal of the individual mandate to buy health insurance.
Repeal of the employer mandate to offer insurance.
House Speaker Paul Ryan with John Goodman
There is, however, one important difference. For more than a decade. Speaker Ryan has advocated a universal health tax credit, an idea that is included in the Sessions/Cassidy legislation. The Task Force report did not go that far, proposing a credit for the individual market, but not for employer-provided insurance. We still have some educational work to do both in the House and the Senate.
Keeping ObamaCare's Promises without ObamaCare
The Sessions-Cassidy bill would make good on what most regard as ObamaCare's three broken promises: universal coverage, cost control and real protection for people with pre-existing conditions.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, Rep. Pete Sessions and Goodman Institute President John Goodman produced the new health legislation.
The bill is sponsored by Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), who as Chairman of the Rules Committee is regarded as the second most powerful person in the House of Representatives, and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who is probably the most knowledgeable person on health policy in the Senate.
Obamacare takes a defined benefit approach: The government tells people what kind of insurance they must have and lets them worry about how to pay for it. That's why 33 million people are still uninsured and millions more are under-insured. The Sessions/Cassidy legislation takes a defined contribution approach: It gives people a tax credit and lets competition in the marketplace determine what can be provided for that amount. The credit is tied to the cost of Medicaid, creating a floor to which everyone will have access. (More at Forbes)
There is no reason under this legislation for anyone to be uninsured, even though there are no new taxes and no new spending.
Health Plan Removes Government as the Problem
Sen. Bill Cassidy and Rep. Pete Sessions introduced "The World's Greatest Healthcare Plan" to Congress.
Sessions and Cassidy call their proposal "The World's Greatest Healthcare Plan." Given what they are attempting to do, that appellation may not be unreasonably boastful. Based on a thorough review of the major ways in which federal policies create perverse incentives, the bill corrects those perversions and removes the federal government as a source of some of our most important health policy problems. (More at Health Affairs)
At the Goodman Institute web site you may find the proposal's 12 bold ideas, with links to short white papers explaining each of them. Find also 25 problems in ObamaCare that the legislation is designed to correct as well as a link to the actual bill, principles that guide the reform and other documents.
Kotlikoff and Sachs: Are Robots Taking Our Jobs?
Economists Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University and Laurence Kotlikoff of Boston University argue, "What if machines are getting so smart, thanks to their microprocessor brains, that they no longer need unskilled labor to operate?" After all, they write:
Smart machines now collect our highway tolls, check us out at stores, take our blood pressure, massage our backs, give us directions, answer our phones, print our documents, transmit our messages, rock our babies, read our books, turn on our lights, shine our shoes, guard our homes, fly our planes, write our wills, teach our children, kill our enemies, and the list goes on. (More)
New Kotlikoff Book: Vote for Me
In a brand new book (which you can down load for free) Laurence Kotlikoff announces he is running for president. The book is titled, Write me In: But Don't Send me a Penny. Is he serious? l don't know, but it doesn't matter. The book is a great read – covering themes that Goodman Institute followers will recognize: Why elderly entitlements threaten to bankrupt us and why Dodd Frank hasn't made the banking system any safer.
Getting the Most Out of Social Security: New Edition
New Social Security laws were passed last fall that will make major changes to your ability to claim benefits. These changes were never explained or even mentioned before the new laws were passed. In fact, there was no public discussion of them at all before they appeared in a hastily crafted bill that had no publicly identified congressional sponsors.
Laurence Kotlikoff and his colleagues have revised their book to make sure you continue to have the latest and most accurate information on how to get the most out of the Social Security benefits you have paid for and earned. (Learn more)
Saving and Rettenmaier: Medicare Is Worth More than Social Security For Young Workers
By the time today's young workers retire, Medicare will spend more on them than they get from Social Security and the two programs combined will replace more than 100 percent of their pre-retirement wages. The reason: health care spending is expected to grow more rapidly than wages.
An 85-year-old today is the recipient of Medicare spending equal to about 27 percent of pre-retirement wages, on the average. For people turning 65 today, Medicare spending will equal about 35 percent of their pre-retirement wages. For workers entering the labor market today, Medicare will equal 53 percent.
Now for the bad news: These projections are possible only if the growth of health care spending continues to outpace the growth of wages. But that means eventually, health care will crowd out all other consumption.
An alternative is embedded in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), which requires Medicare to grow no faster than the rate of growth of the economy as a whole. Were that to happen, the study says that Medicare spending will equal about 40 percent of pre-retirement wages, indefinitely into the future. But that will require Medicare fees to doctors and hospitals to fall increasingly behind private sector fees, threatening access to care for seniors. (More)
Linda Gorman debated the merits of a single-payer health care system in Colorado.
Gorman Debates Proponents of Colorado Ballot Measure to Create Single-Payer Health Insurance
Opposing sides took the state in June at Strings Pavilion in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, to debate the merits of a single-payer healthcare system. Goodman Institute Fellow Linda Gorman said Amendment 69 is "risky and flawed" and the "entity that will be your insurer will be outside all government checks and balances." (More)

Most American art movements are featured with paintings by major artists ranging from Asher B. Durand, Thomas Eakins, Mary Cassatt, George Bellows, and Georgia O'Keeffe, to sculpture by Alexander Calder and Deborah Butterfield. Less familiar artists are also represented including evocative portraits by Frank Duveneck, Charles Hawthorne (right), and Seymour Pearlstein; works by artists who critically examined American society such as Hughie Lee-Smith and Ben Shahn, and detailed images of suburban daily life by San Diego artist Manny Farber. Landscapes trace the history of this country from sublime renderings by Jules Tavernier and Thomas Moran, Impressionistic view by Guy Rose, Charles Reiffel, and William Merritt Chase, to the raw minimalism of Terry DeLapp and ethereal works of Wolf Kahn and Christopher Gerlach.
American watercolors, prints, and drawings can be found in Visible Vaults.

Q: webkit-keyframes pulse background color change I'm using this great CSS code to slowly automatically change the background colour by cycling through a transition of 4 colours.
I want to apply this to several individual Div's and have them all begin on a different colours. The effect would work like a table with each cell changing colour without user interaction.
I can apply this effect to any single element in the page but I want to use it more than once and with a different start colour.
I tried just changing the starting colour of the Div but this doesn't seem to work. Does any one know the solution?
@-webkit-keyframes pulse
{
  0% {background-color: #45CEEF;}
 25% {background-color: #FFF5A5;}
 50% {background-color: #FFD4DA;}
 75% {background-color: #99D2E4;}
 100% {background-color: #D8CAB4;}
}
#div
{
 background-color: #45CEEF;
 -webkit-animation: pulse 40s infinite alternate;
}

A: This should work now. Use a negative time offset in each div that you create after the first. Vary the time in each to keep them different colours.


"I'm going back to her if I buy a home in NJ! And will recommend her to my friends & relatives!"
"Tracy Chan is definitely a top notch Real Estate agent in the area. She really goes extra mile to ensure that in every stage of the purchase we are well updated with what is going on. I never felt disengaged. Her local knowledge is seriously off the chart and knowing what is needed to buy the dream house. We are very satisfied with the outcome. I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know who are looking to purchase a home."
"I consider Tracy as my ideal agent since she is knowledgeable, professional, dependable and always think about my needs.
Tracy is everything I can ask for a realtor. I had a great experience selling my home.
Tracy planned and handled EVERYTHING for my property renting and sale throughout the entire process.
"Tracy Y Chan was our broker when we bought our house 6 yrs ago and she was outstanding. We stayed in touch and it was obvious she was going to help us sell our house and buy a new one.
What I love about Tracy is that she's very smart, polite, knowledgeable, caring, and above all, she goes away above and beyond what she needs to do. She's so focused on every single detail, even things that are the sellers/buyers/attorneys responsibility. She's on top of everything and helps minimize the stress of the transaction.
-- Zhongfang Shi / buying of 106 Grove Ave, Verona, NJ 07044.
We haven't move into the new house yet. We are cleaning and fixing minor issues. We have 1 more month lease at the old apt so we are taking it easy.
"Tracy—this is long overdue, but wanted to formally thank you immensely for everything you did for us to prepare, list, sell, and close on my Mom's home. You are so thorough, which is why we chose you over other realtors. You gave us excellent advice, and always listened to our views and opinions. You always had great recommendations every step of the way as to improvements and staging. And we felt very comfortable with you during the negotiation process with buyers. You were always available and responsive, even texting me from a wedding!
We are so glad we chose you and would highly recommend you to others.
"I am a property owner of a townhouse in Essex Park in Belleville, NJ and I also work full time and a full time mom. This is my first time using Century 21 Gemini as a rental broker and TRACY CHAN assisted me throughout this process. I was very impressed with the procedures and ethical conduct she has shown us. Not only to represent her company but she is extremely professional, prompt and attention to details. TRACY CHAN, you have no idea how much you have helped me and how much time you have saved me. My old tenants left on Oct. 31st and TRACY was able to find a new tenant for me within 15 days and put us into a lease contract, my new tenant is ready to move in by the end of November. Thank you very much TRACY. From the Yan family!
"For anyone who is looking for a realtor to sell or buy their house, look no further, Tracy is the one for you. Her knowledge and experience in real-estate business showed throughout the process of selling my house.
Me and my family needed to move out of town prior to placing the house on the market, and it needed a lot of work, so she gave me professional advise on how to fix things up. Then she helped me find the necessary repair, and avoid unnecessary expenses to get the house ready for sale. The pictures and virtual tour she created were wonderful, and she even helped me do some chores around the house, which really helped when we had already moved out of the house. She is skilled at communicating with buyer's agent, and getting the deal done. I highly appreciated her hard work, therefore I am recommending her service.
"Tracy, wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put into selling my parents house in Clifton. Your pictures and videos were wonderful, relaly showed all of the work we put into it. It was great for my sister in CA to see everything that was done. Great marketing!!!!
Of course the best part was that we were able to sell the house for 8,000$ more than asking!
"Tracy, I am very glad that Magda recommended you. You are really the best, as she said it. If I have the opportunity, I'll certainly recommend you.
"Dear Tracy, thank you for your greeting card!
As the Spring comes, we hope you enjoy the season in work and life too! Regarding ourselves, it is a good season to enjoy the scene at our backyard. :) Again, we would like to thank you for helping us to find this house! We vividly remember that with your wonderful service we only used one day to shop for a house and identified the one that we like. You also represented us to reach the deal very quickly. As the agent, you provide the advice, tips and care through the whole process and even until today! Thank you so much for what you have done for us!
"Hi Tracy, thank you so much for the thought! I will be moving into the house this Saturday.
"Hi Tracy, Paul and I want to Thank you for the beautiful gift basket, that was so thoughtful of you. We want you to know it was a pleasure working with you, and we appreciate the wonderful job you did in marketing our home for sale.

What's been happening at Chill?
On Tuesday 31st January, Chill Factore took the difficult decision to close the main slope for three days to undertake essential maintenance on the slope due to poor snow conditions.
Our hard working team undertook work to repair the base snow layer at the top of the slope and increased our snow making capacity to build up areas where the snow levels were low.
Over the three and a half days we made significant progress and were delighted to open the main slope on Saturday (4th February) at 9am.
Improvements continue to ensure that we can deliver amazing experiences on the main slope and we thank you for your continued support and patience during this time.
This week also saw the installation of our new automatic doors on the entrance and exit to the snow!


For displaced youth living in refugee camps, photography can be an important means of self-expression, a way to share their daily struggles and joy with a global audience. In this post, Lens on Life co-founder Sam Powers describes his experiences teaching photography skills to refugee youth and launching a photography school in the Za'atari refugee camp.
Students practice photo composition techniques.
Jack and I first traveled to the Za'atari Refugee Camp in 2017 after receiving a grant from the Catalyst Foundation to teach a photography workshop to thirty youth, ages 14 to 25, who had escaped the ongoing Syrian Civil War. We donated digital cameras and laptops, shared our technical knowledge of photography, and encouraged participants to embrace the medium as a means of self-expression. The harrowing tales of war and fleeing Syria left an enduring impact on us. We were touched by the student's work, which captured the reality of life in the camp and displayed common feelings of joy, despair, and hope. In particular, the work highlighted that, while many are labeled "refugees," they are as much a part of the human experience as those who lie outside the concrete barriers of the camp.
After our first trip, Jack and I returned to the U.S. with hundreds of photos from our students and set up an exhibit in New York City to showcase the work produced during what came to be known as Operation Za'atari (#opzaatari). Our goal was simple: to raise enough money to support a fully-functioning photography school in the camp alongside our partner, Questscope. We are eternally grateful for the team at Questscope, who welcomed us with open arms and without whom this project would be impossible.

We returned to Za'atari in November 2018 after reaching our initial fundraising goal. We brought more equipment and two volunteers to help guide our second photography course. We set plans in motion to open a full-time photography school in cooperation with Questscope and interviewed prospective teachers, discussed building logistics, and planned our curriculum. In addition, new and returning students learned the principles of photography under the watchful eye of volunteer Michelle Heimerman, a professional photographer and contributing photo editor at publications such as Saveur and Bon Appétit.
Lens on Life Founders Sam and Jack Powers with Mohamad, the school's new teacher.
During our time in the camp, we met Mohamad Khalf, a 29-year-old refugee from Damascus, Syria. Mohamad worked at a film processing lab in Syria before he fled to Za'atari four years ago and has trained in photography ever since. Mohamad has joined the Lens on Life Project team and is leading the new school that hosts weekly courses in introductory and advanced photography. It is hard to describe the emotions that we felt when we gave Mohamad the news that he would be leading his very own school. The excitement of leading a school was overwhelming for Mohamad at first, but was eventually followed by unbounded enthusiasm.
As we process the emotions from our most recent trip, Jack and I look forward to watching future students use photography as a means of self-expression and income generation. In 2019, the second body of work produced by youth in the camp will be shown in New York to raise funds for the school's continued operation, where the first full academic year course opened for enrollment this January. As the war in Syria continues to unfold with new complexities, the fate of those in camps like Za'atari remains precarious. While we pray for an end to the conflict, it is our hope that Lens on Life Project will continue to serve the youth in Za'atari, and allow them to express themselves and enter a global community of artists to continue their journey.

On Nov. 27, the suspect entered a Roslyn Savings Bank, passed a note demanding money to a teller, and was handed an undisclosed amount of money, police said.
Maybe the bank robber is a bit wimpy. Maybe he's not cut out for a life of crime.
But twice, not once, when he handed a note demanding cash to bank tellers at two Long Island banks recently, the tellers refused.
Then he ran away, Nassau County police said Friday.
"The tellers did not comply and the subject fled," according to the Nassau County Police Department.
Police are unsure why the tellers did not comply. Apparently, the man indicated he had a gun but did not produce it, officials said.
Nonetheless, police are asking the public's help in identifying the man, especially since he succeeded in one of his three bank robbery attempts.
On Nov. 27, the man entered the Roslyn Savings Bank in Valley Stream at 3 p.m., passed a note demanding money to a teller, and was handed an undisclosed amount of money, police said.
Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said police see the man's three attempts at bank robbery as a pattern.
"He's passed a note in every one of them," Ryder said during a news conference. "He's about 21. He's 5-feet-10 to 6-feet-1, dark knit hat, dark jacket, plaid scarf."
A few days later, on Monday, he entered the TD Bank in Rockville Centre, passed a note to a teller, and, well, no dice, police said.
The same scenario played out Wednesday when he tried to rob the Wells Fargo in Manhasset. There, he failed and ran out the back door of the bank, police said.
There were no reported injuries during any of these incidents, police said.
Anyone with information can call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
