Located within walking distance of downtown Ypsilanti, the Parish House offered a large, comfortable, very well-appointed room with lovely private bath, and a gourmet breakfast served in a welcoming breakfast room. After researching B&Bs in Ann Arbor, I decided to explore Ypsilanti, just 7 miles away. I was very pleased with my decision, and especially with the Parish House. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Ann Arbor/Detroit area.

Thanks to Chris for preparing her tasty breakfasts. We enjoyed her tasty breakfasts. We enjoyed her meals so much that we purchased her cookbook. The Parish House Inn has nice rooms & is conveniently located (walking distance) to downtown Ypsilanti. A good place to stay if you are considering visiting/shopping in Ann Arbor.

This place is super clean and the inn keeper is great too. My only issue would be the noise. I have been to several b&b in the past so I know in a house you will hear others. This was the worst by far. The bed was so squeaky every time I moved it woke me up. I also couldn't sleep when anyone else had the tv on, making meals, walking the stairs, took a shower, or when they were down stairs getting a snack. That being said I am a light sleeper so maybe it wouldn't bother you. My husband the heavy sleeper had a little problem with the noise but after a few hours was out. They do have good food and comfy beds. The bathroom is the smallest I have ever seen but cute. Two people could not be in there at the same time.

What a wonderful experience arriving at the Parish House Inn and meeting Chris, the fiesty, wise and charming inn keeper. We love the Parish House Inn. Chris was a the door the moment we hit the driveway and then showed us to our beautiful room in a beautiful building. Amazing attention to detail - our room and the open parlor invited exploration and admiration. Lovely gardens, right on the river, close to everything in Ypsi. Delicious fresh food in the morning, baked goods, fruit, juice and an ever full jar of spectacular cookies. Treated like family. We enjoyed a long talk with Chris who shared her wisdom on local topics (a good spot for dinner) to gems only a grandmother could hand down. Couldn't have asked for more. Also a great value.

Since it is baked, never stirred, the texture is different. It is mixed with milk, grated apple, dried cherries and toasted almonds and just a touch of brown sugar in a casserole and baked. This is like a breakfast pudding and is loved by all who try it.

Retinal Vessel Occlusion
What Is It?
The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that is responsible for vision. Blood circulation to most of the retina's surface is through only one artery and only one vein. If either blood vessel or one of their smaller branches is blocked, blood circulation to the retina can be significantly disrupted. The blockage is called an occlusion. When this happens, the eye typically loses vision, often suddenly. The condition is painless.
Retinal Artery Occlusion
In adults, there are two main reasons that the retina's artery would become blocked: a thrombus or an embolus.
Less often, a retinal artery occlusion may be caused by vasculitis (inflammation of the artery's wall), trauma, sickle cell disease, clotting disorders, oral contraceptives or damage from radiation treatments. Overall, retinal artery occlusion is a rare illness that is responsible for only one out of every 10,000 visits to ophthalmologists (physicians who specialize in eye problems) in the United States. The average person with the illness is between 50 and 70 years old and has a history of heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. In almost all cases, only one eye is affected.
In the past, retinal artery occlusion has not included diabetic retinopathy. However, in some respects, diabetic retinopathy (which is a common condition) can be thought of as an occlusive condition of the retinal blood vessels. In diabetic retinopathy, the blood vessels affected are much smaller than the arteries involved in classic retinal artery occlusion.

Updated at 11:59 am with information from Overland Park PD, Overland Park City Hall
Martin Manley, 60, reportedly committed suicide in front of a police station just south of Kansas City, Kansas yesterday morning. The Overland Park police department did confirm that a suicide happened "Thursday morning" in the "vicinity" of the police department. But they would not confirm if the suicide was Martin Manley or not.
This week on the show: the University of Missouri sponsors the Suicide Prevention Week. Plus: Missouri is ill-equipped to deal with prescription drug abuse.

Honored to serve
TO THE EDITOR: I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the Town of Black Brook voters and residents for re-electing me to the position of town justice.
I am truly honored and appreciative for your support and confidence in me and thank you for allowing me to continue to serve our town.
I have been extremely fortunate to live in such a great town, and I have been honored to serve the town residents in various town offices since Jan. 1, 1977.
I cannot express in words the feelings I have for all the support and words of encouragement I have received during my terms in office. The friends I have made and the challenges I have faced through the years have been a rewarding experience in my life, and I will continue to serve our township to the very fullest of my ability.
Once again, please accept my sincere appreciation for you allowing me to continue to serve as your town justice. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Leadership bankrupt
TO THE EDITOR: Shortly before Christmas of 2013, our Congressman Bill Owens voted for the Ryan–Murray budget.
This piece of legislation is quite a gift. It is a gift of more pain.
Our military veterans are committing suicide in record numbers, though instead of supporting and championing for the care they need, Congressman Owens decided to prove his exemplary leadership and wound our veterans even more by voting for a budget that slashes their pension benefits — right before Christmas, mind you.
As a veteran, I am deeply disturbed by this. It is said Congressman Owens is one of the few who actually reads the bills he votes on. Either he also missed the part about the Ryan-Murray legislation dismantling the 2011 Budget Control Act and adding $6.8 trillion to our debt over the next 10 years or he has a secret contractual agreement to negatively affect our lives, savings and markets.

Deed Geek: Did Taylor buy a publishing house?
Pretty slow day for property transfers, as one might imagine, but this one caught our eye.
The property in question is 1904 Adelicia St. The three-story building in the shadows of the Adelicia condo tower is currently home to an arm of Universal Music Publishing Group. But UMPG sold Friday to the vaguely named Nashville Strategic Realty LLC.
NSR, according to Secretary of State records, is located at 2300 Charlotte Ave., Suite 103. That's home to business management firm Flood Bumstead McCready & McCarthy, which handles tax, money and property matters for all manner of celebrities. The registered agent is W. Michael Milom of Milom Horsnell Crow Rose Kelley. He has represented, among others, Taylor Swift.
Sensing a pattern?
To add to the intrigue, the tax bills for 1904 Adelicia are going to 718 Thompson Lane, Suite 108256. That's an awfully long address, but a Google search shows that address has some association with 13 Management, who represents Swift. (Note the third return — a website registration that appears to have been done to prevent some online nastiness.
So did Taylor buy up UMPG's home on Adelicia? Judge for yourself.

New Castle News
On Sunday, a friend and I stopped by the Angels for Animals yard sale in Canfield, Ohio.
As I was browsing the items, I noticed a thin book called, "Microwave Cooking Guide." Its cover was worn and it looked as if it had seen some use in its day, so for fun, I purchased it.
The book was published by Litton in 1987, one year after I was born. I'm not sure if it's a guide that came with microwaves or if it was sold as a stand-alone book. I am positive a Google search could give me some answers, but as of yet, I haven't researched it. I do, however, know that the microwave made its first household appearance in the late 1960s, so this book is a good 20 years into microwave cooking.
I had no idea that you could cook so many things using only the microwave. The book covers everything from breads to casseroles to desserts. I think the desserts intrigue me the most. Well, who isn't mostly intrigued by desserts?
My greatest shock while flipping through the pages of dessert recipes came on page 27. Lo and behold, I saw a recipe for Creamy Cheesecake, made completely using the microwave. If you know me, you know this recipe may be my personal dream come true.
Check it out ...
Filling: Place cream cheese in medium glass mixing bowl. Microwave 8 to 9 minutes on warm. Beat with mixer until fluffy and light. Beat in milk, vanilla and salt. Add eggs and beat well. Microwave 2 minutes on high. Stir and microwave 2 additional minutes on high.
Melt butter in a 9-inch round glass baking dish (on high for 1 minute) Stir in cracker crumbs, flour, sugar and cinnamon. Press mixture over sides and bottom of dish. Pour filling into crust. Microwave 11 to 16 minutes on medium. Chill 2 to 3 hours before serving.
Happy microwaving!
(Below, watch a Litton commercial from 1984. It's amazing how fast technology has developed.)

Festering tensions between a grieving mother and a former day care operator facing criminal charges in the death of a baby boy prompted a Sacramento judge to issue stern warnings Wednesday to both sides in the bitter case.
Superior Court Judge Gary S. Mullen granted the prosecution's request for a protective order, forbidding Sheila Caceres who once operated Sheila's Garden Daycare in Mather from having any contact with the victim's family.
Avin Rominger was 2 months old when he died suddenly in February 2011 while in the care of Caceres.
Since then, the baby's parents, Rachelle and Dave Rominger, who live in the same neighborhood, have aggressively pushed sheriff's investigators and the district attorney to seek the maximum punishment for their former child care provider.
Caceres, 32, was arrested eight months after the baby's death. She has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of child endangerment and misdemeanor violation of fire safety regulations.
Last month, acrimony in the case spilled out in the courthouse when Rachelle Rominger accused Caceres in court of hugging her 6-year-old daughter, who also had been cared for by Caceres. The mother, who recently gave birth to a baby girl, later shouted "baby killer" at Caceres as she left the courthouse with her attorney.
Caceres' attorney, Joe Welch, told the judge Wednesday that his client had been subjected to "horribly loud outbursts" at the April 13 hearing.
Mullen acknowledged the incident and said, should something similar happen again, he would have to sanction the family, who did not attend Wednesday's hearing.
"They have to provide decorum and provide a reasonable opportunity for the defense to appear," the judge said.
Caceres' preliminary hearing, scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed until June 22.
Rachelle Rominger told The Bee she is angry and frustrated by the legal delays.
"Sheila's just stone-walling," she said. "She's putting off the inevitable so she can continue to spend time with her family and her life. And I don't get the same."
The Sacramento County coroner could not determine exactly how Avin died, ruling the cause of death to be "sudden unexpected infant death with delayed medical intervention."
Caceres is accused of knowing the infant was in distress but leaving him alone and failing to immediately call 911 for help. The baby was pronounced dead at a hospital.

When Jake Schmidt was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2009, he was—as anyone is his shoes would be—scared and confused, as his mother Stephanie said.
But when the family found The Valerie Center, they found a place where Jake could be comfortable, with staff who were "fun and nice," as Jake said.
"We still go back and seek help and talk to them," Arlin Schmidt, Jake's father, said.
The centers are funded by The Valerie Fund, the 35-year-old charity founded by Warren residents Ed and Sue Goldstein after the difficulties they experienced as their daughter Valerie was being treated for cancer.
Warren Township's fundraising for The Valerie Fund hits high gear this week, with several ways for residents to join in and help out.
Make plans to dine out sometime at , or on Tuesday, as the restaurants also help out by donating a portion of the day's sales to The Valerie Fund. You can also shop at on Thursday to help, as well.
And on Friday, be sure to head to Watchung Hills Regional to catch the Harlem Wizards, as they take on the Watchung Hills Valerie Fund Warriors in a special fun-filled benefit basketball game.

LEICESTER, ENGLAND — The University of Leicester's recent identification of the 15th-century mortal remains of King Richard III was an exhale moment for author Anne Easter Smith.
"It's very exciting," said Smith, a former Press-Republican features editor who has since become an award-winning author of five historical novels that chronicle the House of York during the Wars of the Roses.
Simon & Schuster will publish her forthcoming "Royal Mistress," a novel about Jane Shore, paramour of King Edward IV, this spring.
"I donated money last summer to help make the dig," Smith said in a recent phone interview. "I had a vested interest in this whole thing.
"This is the only anointed, crowned English king whose grave has never been found. We know where every other king was buried. We can go to their graves except for Richard's, and now we can."
Smith, a native of England, is a Ricardian, a member of the Richard III Society, which is dedicated to reclaiming its namesake's legacy, tarnished, they say, by the House of Tudor.
The historic quest to locate the last Plantagenet king was led by screenwriter/Ricardian Philippa Langley of Edinburgh in 2009.
Though the site of King Richard III's memorial tomb was lost, Langley intuited his burial place was intact.
Henry Tudor's invading forces killed the monarch on Aug. 22, 1485, at the Battle of Bosworth Field. King Richard III was hastily and unceremoniously buried, sans shroud or coffin, in the choir of Greyfriars Church in Leicester.
The building was demolished in the late 1530s.
Under the Leicester City Council car park, built over the site, the monarch was found in a shallow grave, ironically, beneath the letter R (reserve) and on the anniversary of his burial.
"Unfortunately, it will not tell us any more about who Richard was, only how he died," Smith said. "It's poor, pathetic, how many wounds they gave him. It's consistent with all the accounts. Everyone fell on top of him. His body was so irreverently treated, considering he was an anointed king.

Today is the 42nd anniversery of the Attack on the USS Liberty by the Israelis
Check out the story at lagrandeobserver.com
Alex Jones should interview this guy.
Bob Schnell was wounded but did not have time to feel pain.
Forty-two years ago this afternoon Schnell was one of 254 men aboard the U.S.S. Liberty, a non-combat intelligence gathering U.S. Navy ship 11 to 12 miles from the Sinai Peninsula.
Suddenly a quiet afternoon on the Mediterranean Sea became deafening. Rockets and 50-caliber machine gun bullets began raining from the sky, one of which ripped through Schnells right knee.
Schnell and his shipmates, some of whom had been sunbathing on deck, all were asking the same question between terrified gasps: Whats happening?
The ships crew members soon learned to their horror what was occurring, but four decades later nobody knows why.
Israel, a U.S. ally in the midst of its Six-Day War with Egypt, Jordan and Syria, was attacking the Liberty, a ship that had only four machine guns. The bombardment, which started at 1:30 p.m., lasted two hours.
The toll from bullets and rockets fired from Israeli planes and torpedoes launched from boats was devastating 35 men were killed and 171 were wounded.
Schnell, who has lived in La Grande since 1969, talked about his injury.
It did not hurt that much, said Schnell, then a second class U.S. Navy communications technician.
Today he has plastic kneecap because of the bullet wound but considers himself among the most fortunate members of the Libertys crew.
Most of those who were hurt were wounded much more seriously than I was.
Finally at 3:30 p.m. the Israelis pulled back. The battered Liberty was still afloat but had 800 holes from machine gun bullets.
It was dead in the water, Schnell said.
It was only able to crawl through the Mediterranean at a pace of 3 to 5 knots. It did not meet up with a fleet of U.S. Navy ships sent to rescue it until 7 a.m. the next day, 15 1/2 hours after the attack.
The wait was the longest of Schnells life as he and others, also ignoring injuries, did everything they could to help the wounded with limited medical supplies and personnel.
Schnell said he will never forget the sight of the fleet of U.S. ships.
It was such a relief to see the American flags, Schnell said.
The Liberty also had a clearly visible U.S. flag when Israeli planes opened fire the day before. The ship was clearly identified with 5-foot-tall letters on its front and 1- to 2-foot-tall letters on its stern. This makes the attack that much more inexplicable.
Israeli officials said that the attack was a tragic case of mistaken identity. They claimed that the Liberty was mistaken for the El Arish, an Egyptian cattle ship.
Schnell does not see how this was possible since the Liberty, which was in international waters, was not only clearly marked but 100 feet longer than the El Arish.
The days and years following the attack have been painful and frustrating for Schnell and his shipmates. They were frustrating because the magnitude of the incident was kept quiet by the U.S. government, which did not allow the survivors to speak about it for years.
I was told that we absolutely could not talk about it. If we did, we were told we could be fined $100,000 and spend 20 years in the brig (military prison). Everybody else I know was also told this, Schnell said.
News of the attack reached the United States through the international press. The U.S. government did not acknowledge it for years, Schnell said. The incident received limited press coverage and was often referred to as an alleged attack.
The veil of secrecy was partially lifted in 1979 when a book by James M. Ennes Jr., Assault On The Liberty was published, bringing the tragic incident to light.
Ennes wrote of many theories for why the attack occurred. Schnell, who lauds Enness book, has his own theory.
He said the United States, had provided Israel with extensive intelligence including photos from U-2 spy planes of Egypts military operations. In exchange, Israel had agreed to respect the United States request that Israel not expand its territory.
Israel, though, was violating the United States wishes during the war, taking Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank from Jordan and the the Golan Heights from Syria.
Schnell said he believes Israel was afraid the Liberty crew would discover what it was doing and report it. The United States might have stepped in and prevented Israel from expanding its territory if this had occurred, Schnell said.
Israel felt it had to attack the U.S.S. Liberty, Schnell said he believes.
They wanted to shut us down and shut us up, Schnell said.
Ironically, Schnell felt much safer on the Liberty than he had months earlier when he was involved in the Vietnam War. Schnell was part of flight crews that flew 128 missions over North Vietnam.
His planes were shot down twice, both times over the Gulf of Tonkin. The first time five of the seven men in Schnells crew died. The second time all survived and were rescued.
Schnell, who grew up in Milton-Freewater, was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1968. He then returned to Northeast Oregon and enrolled at Eastern Oregon University, from which he graduated in 1971.
Schnell, now retired, knows of crew members who were not able to cope with the emotional aftermath of the attack and the frustration of not being recognized for what they endured. The emotional strain took a physical toll.
The stress ate them up. It killed them at an early age. Some died in their mid-30s, Schnell said.
The La Grande resident pauses momentarily when asked about the emotional fallout he has experienced.
Yes, Im bitter. I just cope, Schnell said.
Talking about the incident is not a cathartic one for Schnell. He said that his best coping mechanism is pushing it out of his mind.
I try not think about it.
Few things would make Schnell feel better than if there were a congressional investigation of the incident. He wants to know why the attack occurred and why the United States government has worked so hard to keep the incident quiet.
A congressional investigation would change this.
Id like for our government to acknowledge we existed and bring it into the public eye.

My heart goes out to these men and family. It does not however go out to the pols.
Its not simply UnAmerican and treason, its inhuman.
Blame Isreael, OK, but bear in mind our masters didn't give one twit about their own. Things have not changed, they still do not.

Our friends, the Israelis.
Hell yeah! Go Israel! Go Go Go! We should let them bomb more of our ships and have Obama call the ship up and literally make farting noises into the phone and fake crying as it sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
The first time around with the Liberty wasn't quite insane enough.
Freakin' Guberment playing God.... Geez.

By June 8 1967 Israel already occupied all Sinai peninsula and IDF were at the Suez Canal. This was not a secret and the whole world knew it.So to think Israel attacked USS Liberty because they wanted to hide their advance on the front is ridiculous.On the other hand Bob Schnell said attack on ship was 2 hour long,so it is very interesting to know from him how the WWII ship sustained such enormous attack and managed to stay aflot.That what the Congress will ask him,he want the Congressional investigation right?So the Congress will ask questions what he was doing during attack,where he was, to claim such things about for how long the ship was under attack,and he must answer where he was,and what he was doing. The article said he was a pilot during Vietnam war so the Congress will ask him question how much ammunition the fighter plane must have in order to constantly fire for whole 2 hour without brake and he must answer to the Congress.
It is very interesting to read that the sailors were enjoying the beautiful day and sunbating.What a wonderful and peacefull picture right,when the war was just 14 miles away.So here is the answer to his question why Israel attacked the ship,because the ship was in the area of war of 100 miles that Israel declared,and USA did not tell Israel that american ship was there.The mission was a secret not only to Israel,but for many is americans too. This is the answer ,and by the way USS Liberty was look like military ship,especially to the pilot who was flying above.
All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man.

this was a joint zionazi project fr the queen bitch. it involved both israel and us at the highest levels. everything you say is true, but the israeli pilots reported seeing the american flag and refused to fire. they were told they would spend their life in jail if they did not fire. they purposefully made the most ridiculous attempt to sink the ship (people really believe that the israeli pilots of the time could not sink a ship). But by doing that they of course caused horrendous suffering to those on board.
Now there could be an argument made to say that the israelis were given info that egypt would be flying the US colors and it was a sneak attack, but given that the nazis founded israel and given their history with ringeworm children, trying to make excuses for the zionazis on the top (who are just knights to the british empire) and only laying blame on the nazi president of the US (who was also acting on behalf of the queen bitch like when he allowed Harriman/Rockefeller/Bush to blow JFK's brains out) is a bit biased IMO.
All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately

The dark face of Jewish nationalism
Dr. Alan Sabrosky, former director of studies at the US Army War College says that the military brass now know that Israel and those traitors within our nation committed the 911 attack.
Very important info, our government leaders have dual citizenship to Israel and now their part in 9/11 has been exposed, with Mossad behind 9/11 as well as rogue factions in the US government.
This is key to ending the Tyranny and New World Order, if you want to know the guilty you only have to look to the pushers of the New World Order they have already revealed themselves. Its time to take action and get our country back and cleanse our government of the traitors.

Oh no.....this isnt anti-semitic. Remember, most jews in Israel today are Ashkenazi. They are NOT semites.
Second, the USS Liberty attack is JUST now getting publicity. These assholes went and shot our guys to shit when we were there to help them. They waited till the sailors were all out on the deck of the Liberty sun bathing and then strafed the ship with their jets, following it up with torpedos.
The problem is the Israelis couldnt sink the LIBERTY

This Year has Marked the 45th Anniversary of the Disgraceful Attack upon USS Liberty
There should be an Investigation into what Happened upon the 8th of June 1967
Also there should be a Monument to the Disgraceful Attack upon USS Liberty itself and
for any Political Cover Ups to be Brought to Public Light

Hi bloggers, I just wanted so see how many of you do reviews
& giveaways on your blogs?
Hi Karen, thanks for following me back. I asked about the the
reviews & giveaways because Mom Blog Society always has new
opportunities for bloggers to do reviews & giveaways.
Hi LaDonna! Nice to meet you :) Yes, I have a
section on my site where I do product reviews of green products I
use on a daily basis. It is under the category "Michelle's favorite
Hope you drop by for a visit :)
Have a wonderful day,
Michelle :)
Great Michelle & Cheryl, If you are looking for more
opportunities, please check out the Blogger
Opportunities pages on Mom Blog Society.
Hey there LaDonna! I do reviews but haven't done any
giveaways yet..I'm pretty new at blogging 6 months:)
I do write reviews and host giveaways. I have only been
doing this for three months, but I am getting a steady stream of
products to review/giveaway. So far I have completed 13
reviews and I have four more sitting here at home for me to
complete. I do reviews on a bunch of different
products. The ones lately have been cat and dog products as
well as books.
I do!
I sometimes do, but there's way more 'normal' posts than reviews
and giveaways. Sometimes I visit blogs, which I find quite boring,
because all they're about is product reviews. There's nothing
I don't... unless it's something I find AWESOME!! But I do offer
listing space on my site for people who do :P
I do! Not too many as I like to keep my content focused on
parent experiences, but I like to sprinkle them in! Your site has
certainly helped me find fun and relevant products to review!
Thanks for your hard work!
I don't. I have only been blogging for about 3
months. I'm kind of in the learning phase still. I have
2 blogs so far so maybe I will in the future.

Three Knox Faculty Named to Endowed Professorships
November 19, 2013
President Teresa Amott has appointed three Knox College faculty members -- Catherine Denial, Karen Kampwirth, and Rob Smith -- to endowed professorships in recognition of their distinguished teaching, scholarship, and service to the College.
Catherine Denial
Catherine Denial will hold the Burkhardt Distinguished Chair in History.
Before joining the Knox faculty in 2005, Denial earned her bachelor's degree with Honors in American Studies from the University of Nottingham, England, her master's degree in history from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and her Ph.D. in history from the University of Iowa.
She is author of the recently published Making Marriage: Husbands, Wives, and the American State in Dakota and Ojibwe Country and has written numerous articles, reviews, and web publications on property and kinship in Dakota country and on history pedagogy and curriculum.
Denial also served as lead historian for the U.S. Department of Education program on "Bringing History Home and the Grant Wood History Institute."
Her teaching at Knox includes courses on the American West, Great American Debates, Feminist Methodologies, the Historian's Workshop, and Museums, Monuments and Memory.
"I love teaching -- it inspires and motivates me -- so I'd always wanted to work at a place where teaching was valued and supported, and where professors were allowed to be creative. Knox is that place," says Denial.
"Here, I get to be part of a community of learners that's always changing and growing, and that delights me. It also gives me enormous satisfaction to work at an institution founded by abolitionists, to know that social justice is at the very heart of what we do."
The Burkhardt Distinguished Chair in History was established in 2010 through the generosity of Dr. Richard W. Burkhardt '39 and Dorothy Johnson Burkhardt '39; it followed the 2009 Burkhardt Distinguished Chair in Modern Languages. Both Burkhardts had long and distinguished careers in the academy. Dr. Burkhardt was a member of the faculties of Syracuse and Ball State Universities; he served as vice president and dean of the faculty at Ball State and retired in 1985. Mrs. Burkhardt served as instructor of French, Spanish and Russian, also at Ball State, from 1958 to 1983, and was awarded the Palmes Academiques by the French government for her efforts to promote cross-cultural learning between France and the United States. She was a member of the Board of Trustees at Knox from 1976 to 1990, when she was elected a life trustee.
Karen Kampwirth '86
Karen Kampwirth '86 will hold the Robert W. Murphy Chair in Political Science.
Before joining the Knox faculty in 1995, Kampwirth earned her bachelor's degree in political science and Spanish from Knox, and her master's degree and Ph.D in political science from the University of California-Berkeley. She has lived and studied extensively throughout Central and South America.
Her scholarship includes numerous articles and book chapters, as well as several books, including Gender and Populism in Latin America, Women and Guerrilla Movements, Feminism and the Legacy of Revolution: Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chiapas, and an edited collection entitled Radical Women in Latin America: Left and Right.
Kampwirth has taught in Argentina as a Fulbright Scholar, received the Carrie Chapman Catt Prize for Research on Women and Politics from Iowa State University, and served as a Visiting Research Fellow at the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University of California at San Diego. In addition to directing the Latin American Studies program at Knox, Kampwirth also has served as director of the Buenos Aires study abroad program in Argentina.
"As the College has always been very good about letting me develop courses that reflect my evolving interests (even when they are far from my original job description -- like courses on Al Qaeda and the Middle East)," explains Kampwirth, "I have the opportunity to work a lot of the stories from years of field research into my courses. And working with students makes me a better writer, I think, as my students are always one of my audiences whenever I write."
Robert W. Murphy was a 1931 graduate of Knox College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He received his law degree from Harvard University and earned an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. He served as executive vice president and chairman of the executive committee of the Borg-Warner Corporation and served as the firm's general counsel for more than 20 years. He also was a member of the Knox Board of Trustees for 22 years and served as its chair. The endowed chair was funded by the Borg-Warner Corporation in 1974 in his honor. His wife, Marion Murphy, remains active with the College, and his grandson, Tony Etz, is a 1983 Knox graduate.
Rob Smith
Rob Smith will be the first recipient of the John and Elaine Fellowes Distinguished Chair in English.
Before joining the Knox faculty in 1996, Smith earned his bachelor's degree in English Studies with Honors from University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom, and earned his master's degree and Ph.D in English and American Literature from University of Massachusetts.
His scholarship includes a monograph, The Seductions of Emily Dickinson, and a co-edited collection entitled American Culture: Canons and the Case of Elizabeth Stoddard. He also has published numerous articles on American poets, including Emily Dickinson, Billy Collins, and Dennis Johnson.
He also is an accomplished creative writer, publishing both fiction and non-fiction. He has received a Notable Mention in Best American Essays, a Special Mention as a Pushcart Prize Nominee, a Scotsman Short Story Award, and the Elizabeth Agee Prize from the University of Alabama Press for the best book published in American literature.
He teaches a wide variety of courses in American literature, including Romanticism, Realism and Naturalism, and Modern and Postmodern literature, as well as courses in film studies; he also has served as chair.
John E. Fellowes graduated from Knox College in 1937 with a major in economics and attended the Northwestern Graduate School of Management. He joined his family's business in 1938, and after service in the U.S. Army during World War II, returned to Fellowes Inc., where he worked for 69 years. During his time there, the company expanded its focus from the Fellowes' "banker's box" to an extensive range of products for the office and home. He served as general trustee and life trustee of Knox for 27 years and as director of the Chicago Opera Theater. He was especially interested in working with young people in schools and church. He and his wife, Elaine, were married for 64 years, and had two sons, James and Peter, and a daughter, Mary.

What Charter Phone (VoIP) Services Will Offer You
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that converts audio signals into digital data that can be transferred over the Internet. VoIP is quickly replacing the traditional telephone lines because of the superior auditory quality and lower cost. Many telephone service providers are already making the switch to VoIP and are finding easy ways to help their customers convert to this superior technology.
Charter Communications, in particular, offers an extremely easy to understand and use VoIP telephony service aimed toward the average home user. If you know how to make a call on your traditional phone, you will have no problem using Charter's VoIP telecommunications plan.
Charter VoIP is as Easy to Use as Traditional Phone Services
Charter VoIP plans offer the same quality service that you are used to under your traditional telephony plan. Charter provides both local and long distance services available through any in-home telephone jack. Although Charter telephone services are digital, you do not need a computer, an Internet connection, or even any special equipment to use them. You can access Charter telephone services from the phone you already have, making Charter VoIP extremely easy to use.
Advantages of Charter VoIP over Traditional Phone Services
Although Charter VoIP behaves very similarly to traditional phone services, there are several key differences which make Charter VoIP worth investing in. Although prices remain competitive with today's traditional phone service plan, Charter VoIP features better quality sound and advanced digital features.
When you subscribe to Charter Telephone, you also have the option of adding an unlimited long distance package, which will allow you to catch up with friends and family across the country without expensive per-minute charges.
This plan also includes three of the most requested calling features; three-way calling, call waiting and call forwarding. You can even keep your current number when you transfer to Charter Telephone, eliminating the headache and frustration normally associated with transferring to a new service.
With so many advantages, it is easy to see why many traditional telephone customers are switching to Charter VoIP. When you subscribe to Charter's services, you will enjoy a hefty discount and the ease of consolidating three of your major utility charges into one single bill.

Jindal on Disciplining the Saints, Beating Obama
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal visited Kingsport over the weekend and talked some sports as well as politics. Here's the Hank Hayes report:
Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal called for across-the-board fairness amid discipline imposed on the New Orleans Saints professional football team by the National Football League for violations of the league's "Bounty" rule.
"We found out about it in the news just like everybody else," Jindal said of the NFL's ruling on the Saints before speaking at the Sullivan County GOP Reagan Day Dinner Thursday night.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell faulted team management for payments made to players over a three-year period for "knock-outs" and "cart-offs" during plays where an opposing player was forced to leave a game.
Players, not the club, primarily funded the bounty program, according to the NFL.
But the team was fined $500,000, Saints Head Coach Sean Payton was suspended for a year without pay, and former Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams, who had been hired by the St. Louis Rams, was suspended indefinitely.
Goodell said he will address potential player sanctions separately. He also instructed all clubs to certify that no such bounty program exists at any NFL team.
Jindal, who said he was "saddened" by the discipline doled out on the Saints, indicated the NFL should be even-handed with other potential violators.
"As a father of three young children and an avid sports fan, the allegations (against the Saints) were very serious," Jindal said. "There needs to be serious consequences. I do hope the NFL, and this is not an excuse ... this was serious misconduct and there needs to be serious consequences ... but I do hope the NFL will treat the allegations about similar types of situations with other teams. I hope they will look into those allegations and hope it's not happening anywhere else in the NFL. I hope they investigate that and are just as fair in those other places."
Jindal indicated the NFL's decision doesn't minimize the Saints' 2009 season success and victory in the 2010 Super Bowl.
"You look at what the Saints meant to the state of Louisiana, especially after (Hurricane) Katrina (in 2005)," Jindal pointed out. "They were a source of not only unity and resilience but it was a great example for the people. They will get past this. I'm still a Saints fan. Drew Brees is a great quarterback. The Benson family (the club's owners) has been very generous to our community.
"I think Drew Brees said it best. This doesn't represent their values and who they are. They have to put this behind them and make sure it doesn't happen again and get back on the field and start winning some games."
Jindal flew to Northeast Tennessee to speak to Sullivan County Republicans while Louisiana lawmakers were considering his education reform package.
Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, R-Blountville, said he asked Jindal on the plane if he had the votes to pass the reform measures.
"He said 'Would I be on this plane if I didn't?' " Ramsey said of Jindal's response.
Jindal indicated the reforms are aimed at expanding charter schools and linking teacher evaluations to student achievement.
"We need to make sure there's a great teacher in every classroom," Jindal said at the GOP event held at the MeadowView Marriott. "... In my state we lose 50 percent of our teachers five years after they graduate (from college) ... education has to be about student achievement if it's about anything."
But Jindal's main recurring message was about the Republican presidential nominee defeating Democrat incumbent President Barack Obama in the November general election.
"I don't think we can afford four more years of President Obama," Jindal insisted. "He's run up $15 trillion in debt and proposing more taxes and more spending. Any one of our nominees is committed to repealing Obamacare (also known as federal health care reform), producing more energy at home and reforming these entitlement programs so we don't keep borrowing money from China."

The applause is appreciatively thunderous as the company of Hairspray ends each performance of the 2002 Broadway musical comedy with the aptly named "You Can't Stop the Beat" at the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford.
The beat is evident throughout the evening starting with an energetic and catchy rendition of "Good Morning Baltimore" which identifies where the musical is set in 1962 as it begins its probe of the social inequalities of that period in time.
The show, the 174th play over 37 years put on by Westchester Broadway Theatre, is based on a 1988 film of the same name written and directed by John Waters.
Hairspray opened at the Elmsford dinner/theater on May 3 and will continue to June 3. This is in keeping with a new policy introduced by owners/executive producers Bob Funking and Bill Stutler to increase the number of annual shows (from about five up to as many as nine) and decrease the run period (from about six to approximately four weeks).
Leading the cast with commanding performances are Erin McCracken as the well-intentioned plump teenager and aspiring dancer Tracy Turnblad, and Tad Wilson, in drag, as her fully proportioned mother Edna.
Tracy wants to try out as a dancer for The Corny Collins Show; her plus-sized mother Edna objects, fearing only embarrassment and disappointment lies ahead for her overweight daughter. But when Tracy's father advise her to follow her dream, she auditions. As her mother fears, Tracy is rejected along with a cute, young black girl Little Inez.
Encouraged by her pal Penny and coached by black friend and talented dancer Seaweed Stubbs (the brother of Little Inez), Tracy doesn't give up. She catches the attention of TV show host Corny Collins at a school dance and he invites her to join his show.
Tracy organizes a protest against the TV program's racial descrimination, goes to jail, escapes, wins the Miss Teenage Hairspray competition, inspires Corny Collins to integrate his TV show and wins the heart of The Corny Collins Show member Link Larkin. All ends well as the TV show's dance floor is racially integrated and Tracy is pardoned by the governor.
Providing support are cast members Bruce Rebold as Tracy's kooky father Wilber, Kara Dombrowski as Tracy's selfish rival Amber Von Tussle, Ann Van Cleave as Amber's manipulative mother Velma, Pat McRoberts as TV show host Corny Collins, Stacie Gogo as Tracy's close friend Penny Pingleton, Tripp Hampton as Tracy's love interest Link Larkin, Inga Ballard as Motormouth Maybelle (owner of a record shop and host of "Negro Day" on The Corny Collins Show), Elgin Giles as Mothermouth's talented dancing son Seaweed (who becomes a love interest for Penny), and Sydni Beaudoin as Seaweed's very cute kid sister Little Inez, who is rejected in her attempt to audition for the The Corny Collins Show.
The fast-paced, song-and-dance-filled production was directed and choreographed by Richard Stafford, whose previous work at this theater includes Beauty & The Beast, Gypsy and Singin' In The Rain. Stafford was joined in bringing the production to the stage by Musical Director Leo Carusone and Associate Director/Choreographer Jonathan Stahl.
Michael Bottari and Ron Case were responsible for set and costume design and construction. Crew directors and members also included Set Coordinator Steve Loftus, Costume Coordinator Gail Baldoni, Hair/Wig Designer Gerard Kelly, Lighting Design Andrew Gmoser, Sound Designer Jonathan Hatton, Production Stage Manager Victor Lukas and Assistant Stage Manager Ron Rogell. Properties were provided by Grumpy's Props.
Depending on the performance, the admission cost including meal and show ranges between $52 and $75 plus tax and tip. Alcoholic beverages can be purchased. Discounts are available for children, students, and senior citizens for selected performances. For performance dates or more information: www.BroadwayTheatre.com

I arrived at the venue about fifteen minutes before the designated start time of 2pm, and already in the front row sat Michael Woodford, former CEO of Olympus, the subject of the day's 2-hour talk. Used to VIPs making grand entrances a tad behind schedule (later this day, Justin Bieber famously went on stage two hours later than scheduled much to the annoyance of the parents of his waiting tween fans) I should not have been surprised at Woodford's excellent timekeeping. This was, after all, the first non-Japanese salaryman to have scaled the height of the corporation having started as nothing more than a salesman thirty years ago.
His appearance at our sister campus in Southend was part of the 2013 Essex Book Festival, and there was a book to promote at the bottom of it all: entitled 'Exposure', the book charts Woodford's story of corporate fraud and poor governance in a culture underlined by hierarchy and respect for superiors. I was initally curious as to why the Southend Essex Business School campus was chosen over ours in Colchester for no other reason than the fact that accounting and corporate governance colleagues were based in Colchester; but the reason became quickly apparent – despite hailing from Liverpool originally, Woodford's family planted their roots near Southend: his wife a teacher at the local high school, and his children growing up nearby.
As if to underline how unique an experience we were having, Woodford intimated that a similar talk he gave in the US a week earlier was attended by top corporate leaders paying at least $1,000 a ticket. In contrast, the tickets for this event went for seven quid. This was a man very much in the news, and of international stature whether there was to be an accounting scandal or otherwise at Olympus.
Unluckily for Woodford there was indeed an accounting scandal; a concerted effort over the years to hide accounting losses through the careful structuring of subsidiaries bought and sold at prices that did not reflect the entities' true values. At least, that was what was on the surface. Beneath it lies an unproven hunch of the involvement of the Yakuza (the Japanese mafia) and money laundering activities.
How did a salaryman – that is, a company man through-and-through – rise up the ranks of a corporate giant? He started off at Olympus KeyMed – a manufacturer of medical devices. Olympus may say digital cameras to you and me, but for those in the medical profession, it refers to the company's main cash cow: electro-optical products such as microscopes and endoscopes. He worked his way up the company, at one point heading operations in the Americas and Europe.
In his talk, Woodford never shied away from the fact that he could be a difficult person to work with, possessing a tendency to micromanage and having a work ethic that may not endear him to many. His guiding compass was simple: doing what felt right. In the first few weeks of him becoming the President of Olympus in February 2011, he proved his worth as a leader to the Japanese corporation by flying into earthquake stricken Tokyo amidst global fears over the Fukushima nuclear plants at a time when other foreigners were clamouring over each other to leave the country.
It was this sense of doing what was right that prodded him to continue to uncover the fraud first brought to light by news magazine FACTA. Unhappy that he was helming a corporation without really knowing what was going on, he demanded answers from key executives of the firm, only to be given the silent treatment. The more answers he demanded, the more bricks were placed in the stone wall the Japanese executives were building.
To complicate matters, the cultural nuances of Japanese society were very much at play within the corporation, and one was to always know one's place in the overall grand scheme of things. His tenacity at getting answers backfired at him: requesting a meeting with the company's then-chairman, Tsuyoshi Kikukawa resulted in a gentle but firm rebuke – he recounted how his request for a meeting was met, but at the lunch meeting, he was only served a tuna sandwich while Kikukawa enjoyed a plate of fine sushi. The twist in the knife at this gesture was the widespread knowledge of how much Woodford loved sushi – and so the actions served as a reminder that as one lower in the hierarchy, one does not simply request a meeting…
Undeterred, Woodford demanded answers not only from the Olympus board but the company's auditors who interestingly failed to spot the glaring attempts at accounting fraud which, later investigations revealed, had been perpetrated over a period of over two decades. Amassing evidence from various sources, Woodford presented this information through a series of letters that he wrote over the period of a few weeks. This did not go down well with the board, and ultimately he was fired from his post as CEO only after two weeks of being appointed (he became President in Feb 2011 while Kikukawa retained the role of CEO, but he was then made CEO by Kikukawa in August 2011).
There was much pomp and ceremony in his ousting, but even more worrying for Woodford was his safety: if rumours of Yakuza involvement were true, his personal and family wellbeing was on the line. He spoke of his request to obtain security detail: initially met with disbelief from the Belgravia police officer who thought he was quite mad, only to then made to realise by a superior that this was the face of someone much featured in the Financial Times.
Since Woodford's sacking as CEO, Kikukawa has resigned from the Olympus board having admitted to perpetrating fraud, and the Olympus scandal has pretty much been laid bare. Limited time (and the need to not give away the whole story in the book) saw to a stop to his story there, but all things considered, Woodford's whisteblowing amounted to something in the end: the fraud was exposed, and corrective action is being taken (to an extent). Subsequent arrests have been made in both Japan and the US as investigators attempt to get to the bottom of it all.
I sometimes wonder why Woodford was appointed by Kikukawa, going against convention to personally appoint a gaijin who managerial acumen was known to him. Did he think that Woodford would show deference and do as he was told? Or did he really want someone from the outside to uncover the mess that was already there, for the love of a corporation that was effectively his lifeblood. Woodford speaks of the real whistleblower, a person inside the corporation who lifted the lid to FACTA, a person who can never be named or identified in the interest of his own personal safety. One wonders..
But that aside, there are other fish here that need to be fried. The intricacy of the fraud. The 'oversight' of the auditors. The stonewalling. And most of all, the implicit cooperation at so many levels, inside and peripheral to the firm, which allowed this – and other fraud in other corporations – to be perpetrated, making reform a toothless tiger in the world of rampant capitalism where cash is indeed king.

Football News
Football manager Carlo Ancelotti wants 'better luck'
6th April 2011 - Berko Tau
Chelsea football manager Carlo Ancelotti says Chelsea would have won the Champions League by now with more luck.
The Blues have reached the semi-finals of the competition in four of the last seven seasons and even made it to the final in 2008, when John Terry was the width of a post away from winning his team the trophy.
Current football manager Ancelotti has made it to three finals himself, winning two, so he knows that a little fortune is required to go all the way.
The Italian explained that his side are good enough to win the trophy, saying: "They have experience, they have ability … they've come so close to winning it.
"Unfortunately, some little details were not good. I hope this season we can have better luck but you also have to deserve the luck."
Chelsea will play Manchester United in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tonight (April 6th) at Stamford Bridge.

Info sought on dead wolf
By SCOTT McMILLION Chronicle Staff Writer
A female wolf was found dead in Paradise Valley and federal lawmen are
offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to the arrest
of whoever killed the animal.
"If anybody has any information on this critter, give us a call," Doug
Goessman, a special agent for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said
A private citizen found the adult wolf Tuesday and notified authorities on
Wednesday, Goessman said.
It had been dead for several days, he said, leading him to believe it had
been killed sometime over the Memorial Day weekend.
"We're looking for anybody who might have seen something over the
weekend," Goessman said. "We're considering this a crime."
The carcass was found not far from a two-track road about four miles past
the Sixmile trailhead sign.
"They knew what they were doing," he said of whoever dispatched the
animal. He declined to release many details, but encouraged anybody who
might know something to call.
He said he wants to know if anybody saw people or vehicles in the area or
if they saw anybody "with blood on their hands."
The Sixmile drainage is occupied by a resident wolf pack, which is in the
midst of an intense controversy over the effects that wolves are having on
elk numbers in and near Yellowstone National Park.
Some in the area maintain that wolves are devastating local and migratory
elk herds. Biologists say elk numbers are down over the past couple years
but it's too early to tell the long term impacts.
Anybody who volunteers information can remain anonymous, and a conviction
does not have to result for an informant to be eligible for a reward.
If someone is convicted, however, he or she could be fined as much as
$10,000 and jailed for up to six months.
Wolves are protected under the federal Endangered Species Act.
People with information can call 582 0336 or 1 800 TIP MONT.

In the past two years, Peace Out students have raised funding and awareness for more than 30 local non-profits focused on social services such as basic needs, healthcare, education, art, and a wide variety of human services. The benefits of this program are felt not only in lives of those assisted, but throughout the entire community as these teens experience firsthand:
- Self-Esteem -- Through actively connecting with causes they select, teens gain an understanding of the needs within our communities. In this way the program promotes a culture of mutual respect and tolerance of one another.
- Empowerment -- Once there is an awareness of the issues, teens are moved to action within their own neighborhoods and communities. Youth feel empowered as they experience giving and see the positive results of their actions.
- Healthy Choices -- Positive peer engagement helps teens build on the healthy choices of one another. By creating a culture of youth leadership and action, teens are encouraged to affect positive change, both in their own lives, and the lives of those around them. One student of Peace Out said, "I make better choices now that I know I am representing Peace Out and the community."
Peace Out is currently in a growth phase. Based originally in University Place, Peace Out has recently branched out into three neighboring locations: North Tacoma, South Tacoma, and Puyallup.

How to Be Found in LinkedIn
If Google doesn't know you, you may be no one.
There's no doubt LinkedIn is a crucial social network if you care about your career. A recent Jobvite study noted that 73 percent of all hires made through social networks were via LinkedIn and 41 percent of employee referrals for jobs involved LinkedIn.
One of the most useful aspects of any social media platform is the opportunity for people to find you. The adage, "If Google doesn't know you, you may be no one," is becoming more prevalent in today's socially focused environment. LinkedIn tends to rank very well in Google searches, so having an optimized profile is one useful way to be found online.
[See The 50 Best Careers of 2011.]
It's also important to stand out within LinkedIn. When someone is searching for a candidate with your expertise in that network, how can you help ensure your profile comes up high in their search results? Brad Mauney, LinkedIn's senior product manager, search & social graph, says part of the algorithm LinkedIn uses to determine where you rank in a given search takes into account 1) how often your profile comes up in LinkedIn's search results and 2) how often searchers click through to view your information when it does appear.
How can you influence this elusive aspect of being found in LinkedIn? Mauney emphasizes the importance of creating a profile that engages viewers and entices them to click through to learn more about you.
How can you encourage people to want to know more about you on LinkedIn? Mauney suggests the following:
Include a picture in your profile. Krista Canfield, LinkedIn's senior manager, corporate communications, says, "Folks who have a photo are seven times more likely to have their profile viewed in general than folks who don't have a photo." While the statistic does not include data about the type of photo, it's a good idea to use a picture where you appear friendly and approachable. Smile, and be sure you look like yourself, but on a good day! Use appropriate lighting; a professional photo is a great idea, but if that is not possible, take a close-up of your face, wearing clothing that isn't distracting or busy.
[See How Using the Right Photo Online Can Help Your Career.]
Write an engaging headline. What can you include in your headline to pique a reader's curiosity? Since your headline appears in search results, it naturally affects how many people decide to click through to learn more about you. Since you can improve your overall ranking in search by earning more click-throughs, pay special attention to your headline. Mauney suggests incorporating an elevator pitch in the headline and not limiting it to your current job title.
Grow your network. Another important factor influencing click-throughs is whether or not you are connected to the person searching. Statistically, people are more likely to click through to learn more about someone if they share a common connection. (Search results list levels of connectivity.) Mauney says a baseline of at least 50 people in your LinkedIn network is important to help users begin to see a real benefit from their connections. He noted that a "trusted network" is the most useful, and encouraged LinkedIn users to connect with people they actually know or do business with.
Other suggestions to help people find you on LinkedIn?
Completely fill out your LinkedIn profile with as many details as possible. For example, don't just list your master's degree; include all of your education information. It also helps to include details from all of your past and present positions.
[See How Blogging Can Help Your Career.]
Think about the searcher's intent. What terms are they most likely to use? What are the industry standard's terms? Don't be too creative. Maybe "guru" is a fun title, but is anyone really searching for a "guru?" Incorporate keywords in your profile and in the optional sections (such as skills, volunteer work, etc.) Mauney suggests adding information in the sections where it makes most sense; LinkedIn's search will find it.
Titles and "headlines" are important in LinkedIn. Use them well, and be descriptive. For example, "vice president" may be your official title, but if you include more specific information, such as, "vice president, business development and strategic partnerships," you may help someone find you.
Use LinkedIn's various tools, including "groups" and "answers." Engage with new contacts and grow your trusted network of colleagues.
Being found is important, and you want to make it easy for people who are looking for someone like you to find you. When using social networking tools, such as LinkedIn, your results are in your hands. Tap all resources at your disposal to improve your chances to connect with key influencers.
