TV Overnights: First day of Paralympics peaks at 2.8m
Thursday night's TV offered up a plethora of sports and soaps as the Paralympics finally got under way.
Day one was complemented by all-day coverage on Channel 4, starting with the Paralympic Games Breakfast Show at 7am. Live coverage continued all the way through to 10:30pm. During the day, it was swimming and judo at 5:30pm that brought in the biggest audience;1.7 million people watched the 45 minute show.
Naturally it was the evening show, Paralympic Games 2012 Tonight (7:30 pm), that garnered the most interest. The three hour show focused on the swimming, table tennis and wheelchair basketball; the latter seeing Great Britain narrowly beaten by Germany. An average audience of 2.4 million people watched the entire programme which finished at 10:30pm.
BBC One once again offered up an alternative to all the hope and triumph over on 4. Good Cop (9pm) followed in the footsteps of so many recent American dramas, offering up a morally ambiguous protagonist for the viewers to get involved with.
The drama was unflinching in its depiction of brutal and senseless acts of violence and focused on the unsubtly named John Paul Rocksavage; a Liverpudlian cop who was having a very bad day. Last night's shocking events forced 'Sav' to momentarily disregard awkward distractions like the law and take matters in to his own hands. The first episode in the four-part drama netted 4 million viewers, resulting in an 18% share.
Earlier on in the day the first episode of Thurday's Emmerdale (ITV1, 7pm) featured a classic overshare in the public surroundings of the Woolpack. News of Marlon and Laurel's alleged horizontal union was broadcast by Paddy to weary extras trying to enjoy a fake pint. Unfortunately Laurel's husband Ashley was also in attendance. The first helping of the country drama netted 5.9 million viewers and a 30% audience share.
A smaller crowd tuned in at 8:30pm to see downtrodden father-botherer Ashley deal with the news of his wife's new squeeze. The second episode of the night brought in 5.5 million viewers (a 25% share).
There was more athletics on offer over on BBC Two as the Diamond League meeting from 2012 Weltklasse Zürich (7pm) got under way. An average audience of 1.3 million viewers watched as Jamaica's Bolt and Blake continued to wow the crowds so soon after the Olympics.
EastEnders kicked off BBC One's evening of drama at 7:30pm and brought the channel the second biggest audience of the day. 6.3 million people tuned in to see wet blanket Anthony Moon sob his last as he made his grand exit from Hellmouth Walford, bringing in a 31% share.
There were plenty of teething problems still to sort out for the staff of Waterloo Road (BBC One, 8pm) as they settled in to their new Scottish location. The second episode of what must be at least the 20th series saw headmaster Michael Byrne deal with a possessed child and a vodka-fond English teacher. 3.3 million viewers (-9% week on week) tuned in to see the fun, netting a 14% share.
Despite a stormy showdown in the Rovers, Coronation Street (8:30pm) wasn't strong enough to fight off both sporting events and Waterloo Road, delivering a lower than usual audience for ITV1. A few strong words over a pint between Kevin and Tommy let loose a few home truths into the public consciousness of Weatherfield.
Kevin was not exactly pleased to learn that his garage was involved in an international drugs ring and pregnant Kirsty was justifiably ashamed when the punters learned she's been beating on her man. The communal squabbling secured a relatively small 6.4 million viewers and a 25% audience share. Could it be that viewers are simply exposed to too much soap goodness? In comparison, the previous episode on Monday brought in an audience of 7.8 million viewers. Although the show didn't perform as expected, it was still enough to bring Thursday's biggest audience to ITV1 despite the seasonal distractions elsewhere.
Overnight data is available each morning in mediatel.co.uk's TV Database, with all BARB registered subscribers able to view reports for terrestrial networks and key multi-channel stations.

What you can expect during the CFP® Certification Examination.
The check-in process verifies the identity of the candidate and assures nothing is taken into the testing room that could potentially jeopardize the security of the exam.
As part of the check-in process, candidates are provided with a locker key and instructed to leave all personal belongings in their assigned locker.
Once personal items are secured, the check-in process continues with the verification of valid, government issued, photo ID and electronic capture of fingerprints and photograph. A scan of the fingerprint scans is captured each time a candidate enters or leaves the exam room.
Prior to entering the exam room, candidates are asked to verify they have nothing in their pockets (pull-out pockets), and the proctor conducts a brief body scan using a portable wand (much like TSA at the airport). Calculators are inspected according to CFP Board's calculator policy, and memory is cleared before entering the exam room.
Upon completing the check-in process, the proctor escorts the candidate to the assigned workstation.
Scratch paper and noise cancelling headphones are available, but optional. Scratch paper is collected and is not permitted to leave the examination room.
Security of the exam is protected by active proctoring and monitoring of video camera surveillance. The digital video recordings are retained until after exam results are official.
What to Expect on Test Day from Prometric on Vimeo.
Once seated, a candidate may progress through the exam at his or her own pace. Basic instructions are provided at the onset, and timing of the exam begins with the presentation of the first exam question.
The exam is presented in two 3-hour sessions separated by a scheduled 40-minute break. An exam clock is provided to show available time remaining.
During the exam you have the ability to highlight text and mark questions for later review. To assure familiarity with the computer interface and functionality, candidates are encouraged to complete a sample online quiz in advance of exam day. The Sample Quiz is available at no cost.
CFP Board Practice Exams provide the functionality and a user interface very similar to the actual computer-based CFP® exam.
Learn More About the Practice Exams
The 40-minute break will begin upon completion of all the questions in the first session, or when time expires – whichever occurs first. Be sure to return to your workstation before the 40-minute break time ends. If you are late, timing of the second session will begin.
Candidates may also take unscheduled breaks; however, the exam clock continues during such absences. Fingerprint scans are used to document the time each candidate leaves and returns to the testing room.
If additional time remains after all exam questions have been answered, candidates may review their work and make any desired changes to responses until time expires.
If desired, candidates may submit their exam for scoring before time has expired. After submitting the exam for scoring, the candidates are asked "Are you sure you want to submit your exam for scoring? Once validated, the exam session is ended, and candidates cannot return to view the exam.
Upon completion of the exam, candidates exit the testing room and report to the proctor. While the proctor is printing the preliminary exam results, candidates retrieve their personal belongings from their lockers and return their locker keys. The preliminary results are provided in an envelope, and results are verified by CFP Board within approximately three weeks after the close of the examination window.
You should bring the following items to the exam site:
Food and drink (including water) are not permitted in the exam room. Individuals who require access to food or liquids for medical reasons during any of the exam sessions are required to file a Special Accommodations Request Form (PDF, 96KB). All exam sites provide access to water fountains located outside of the exam room.
No notes of any kind are permitted in the testing room(s).
While testing is in session, examinees are prohibited from accessing electronic devices other than an acceptable calculator.
You need a dedicated, non-programmable financial calculator to assist with examination questions that may require calculations of the time value of money, unequal periodic cash flows and internal rate of return (IRR).
Calculators with alphabetic keys or paper tape printing capabilities are prohibited. No notes of any kind are permitted in the testing room(s), including manually programmed formulas. You are required to clear your financial calculator's memory prior to each session of the exam. If your calculator has notes/formulas printed on the back of the calculator, includes pull-out cards or contains other supplemental material, this information must be removed or masked by solid color tape before entering the testing room. Calculators are subject to inspection by proctors.
Cell phones or other electronic devices that have multifunction capabilities cannot be used as a calculator. While testing is in session, examinees are prohibited from accessing electronic devices other than an acceptable calculator.
Misconduct You are expected to conduct yourself in an ethical manner before, during and after the CFP® Certification Examination. Actions such as, but not limited to, using any prohibited aids in connection with the exam including violations of the Calculator Policy, attempting to give or receive assistance, or to otherwise communicate in any form with another person about the exam during the exam administration, will result in investigation by an independent entity and/or CFP Board. In some cases, CFP Board may take disciplinary action, if appropriate.
Before taking the exam you will be required to agree that you understand that you are prohibited from sharing exam questions with any entity other than CFP Board. Revealing questions may result in disciplinary action including, but not limited to, monetary restitution, being permanently barred from taking any CFP Board exam or prosecution under copyright law. If any individual or entity (including a review course provider or academic program) asks you to reveal contents of the examination, please report the incident to CFP Board.
Please familiarize yourself with the Examinee Agreement. Examinees are required to sign this agreement before the start of each exam session. Signing this agreement is a commitment to behaving ethically before, during and after the exam.

Gary targets hopes, future on University Park
By Carole Carlson firstname.lastname@example.com April 24, 2013 10:54PM
Tony Congress with C. Lee Construction takes a momentary break from operating an excavator in a lot where the old Glen Park Bakery building was demolished in the 3700 block of Broadway as part of the University Park project in Gary, Ind. Tuesday April 16, 2013. The multi-year project is in Phase I, demolition and site assembly. | Stephanie Dowell~Post-Tribune
Article Extras
Updated: May 26, 2013 6:08AM
GARY — Brandon Cruz gazes out across Broadway to the yellow excavator that's raking the soil where the Glen Park Bakery once stood.
The cakes, the doughnuts are long gone. The bakery closed its doors in 2001.
All Cruz remembers are the weeds.
"I put weed killer down the whole block," said Cruz who's operated We Buy Gold at 3720 Broadway since 2009. "Glen Park Bakery had a bunch of weeds in front of it. We cut them down."
Now Cruz is awaiting a dramatic transformation of his ravaged business district. City officials call the proposed renaissance "University Park."
The name should sound familiar. A decade ago, former mayor Scott King first proposed the University Park concept featuring an education corridor of development between Indiana University Northwest and Ivy Tech's Gary campus. It was to be anchored by a Boys and Girls Club built with school and city money at Franklin Elementary.
But casino cash drew tight and grandiose plans faded. The Gary Community School Corp. has since closed Franklin school and trash dots its vacant grounds.
The comeback
Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson is reviving the University Park plan and staking a good portion of the city's dwindling budget toward it. It's early to talk legacy, but Freeman-Wilson admits University Park would be the kick-starter for economic development so sorely needed.
"Yes, there is a great need, there are 10 other places we could have easily put dollars and seen a difference in the community," she said. "I decided very early on, that it was important to leverage other relationships — like IUN."
Freeman-Wilson said she wants the plan to impress one Hoosier who doesn't live in Gary — state Sen. Luke Kenley, a Noblesville Republican who heads the powerful Senate appropriations committee. "He didn't think the city wanted to make an investment," Freeman-Wilson said of the area around IUN.
The city is following a 45-page, $113,000 master plan for University Park, released in February by The Community Builders Inc., a not-for-profit agency in Boston. The organization recently developed the Shops and Lofts at 47 in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood.
The footprint
University Park's north-south footprint extends 7.5 square miles, from 33rd Avenue to Ridge Road and from Interstate 65 on the east to Grant Street on the west.
Department of Commerce Director Forest Hayes said the city harnessed federal dollars to demolish 60 structures within the footprint, and about 10 more will come down in coming weeks. The notorious Dena's Pub, on the corner of 35th Avenue and Broadway and two nearby strip joints, the Pussy Cat Club and the Gentlemen's Club, came down last month.
One plan, however, has already evaporated. The Gary Public Transit Corp. had been studying a plan to develop a transit center at the Dena's site but the cash-strapped agency couldn't fund it.
The vision
Rising from the debris, Freeman-Wilson envisions a transformation for Broadway to attract restaurants, offices and hotels along the interstate.
IUN and Ivy Tech have joined forces and money to propose a shared $55 million building on the east side of Broadway across from IUN. One wing would include a performing arts center to replace the demolished Tamarack Hall, destroyed by flooding. Ivy Tech's wing would likely focus on health care careers.
Freeman-Wilson says University Park's development should show reluctant state leaders that Gary is an ideal place for a trauma/teaching hospital.
"We believe Indiana University is the perfect footprint for a teaching hospital. There's already a medical school," she said referring to the Indiana University School of Medicine-Northwest. "I think they understand we're losing millions of dollars to other states, especially to Illinois, because of our inability to adequately address trauma."
Residential plans, too
University Park plans also call for a revitalized residential neighborhood, diversified with students, new families and senior citizens.
In the next month, Freeman-Wilson says she'll kick off her "dollar house" program in Glen Park offering homes to people who qualify to rehab them and live in them. The city owns many of the abandoned housing stock in Glen Park.
Community Development Department Director Arlene Colvin said the city has purchased about 10 properties in Glen Park and will use federal Neighborhood Stability funds to develop the area.
Hayes says the demolition along Broadway has not gone unnoticed. "Developers are clamoring to look at some of these sites," he said.
Next, Hayes said, the city needs to establish a tax increment finance district within the footprint to spur development.
Several years of planning still lie ahead. For now, Freeman-Wilson is quarterbacking the project from City Hall.
"The first step is bring buildings down," says Freeman-Wilson. "When people have perception that you don't care about your neighborhood, abandoned buildings become havens of criminal activity.
"This is the first step in creating a landscape for developers to come in and develop the city."

A few years ago, Watsonville Coast Produce, a distributor for produce in Watsonville, Calif., was in the process of transitioning their facility from three buildings to a single larger facility. The company needed to restructure their loan and find long term financing in order to complete the construction of the new state-of-the-art plant and continue to provide local jobs; however their bank turned them down even though the company was profitable. This left Watsonville Coast Produce looking for a bank to provide financing in a short period of time.
USDA Rural Development worked with Santa Cruz County Bank, a local community bank in quickly providing a Business & Industry Guarantee Loan for $4.6 million replacing long term financing for their facility, stabilizing jobs, and providing additional cash flow funds.
Funded under the "Local Food Initiative", the B&I loan assistance provided Watsonville Coast Produce with the financing they needed to stabilize their business while saving $110,000 in additional cash flow per year. This additional funding allowed them to make necessary improvements to their facility, coolers and truck fleet.
"It was getting toward that midnight hour and we needed money to stay in business," said Gary Manfre, who co-owns Watsonville Coast Produce with Doug Petersen and John Burkett. "This program was really a lifesaver for us."
Watsonville Coast Produce is a major employer in Watsonville with $30 million in annual sales and employing 85 employees. They distribute over 250 organic and 400 conventional produce items to over 1,400 customers in 13 counties in California. Watsonville Coast Produce works with approximately 100 farms in assisting them in providing an avenue to store, market and distribute their local crop production.

So, I have a matching bedroom set - dated but it works for me. I still like the lines, although not so much the footboard. It consists of a queen size bed, nightstand, dresser, and tall chest.
One day, while at work.... this lovely dog (yes, three legs - affectionately known as a tripawd - he has bone cancer =( - and is embarrassed I chose to wrap a chemo wound in pink rather than a more manly color)... chose to eat this dresser... So I now throw a scarf over it to hide the scars. The bed, nightstand, and chest (not shown) didn't appeal to his lust for wood that day, apparently, and escaped unscathed. (Little brother is naughty, but he was cleared of all suspicion). So, I'm building a new home and would like to either fix this dresser or toss it and get something else. Or get a whole new matching set! :) I'm not a "scarves on the dresser" person. I'm having difficulty with the not too matchy-matchy but not too different thing when working with a bedroom set. What would work in it's place? Or does the not too matchy-matchy rule not apply to bedroom sets? Things I see are almost-but-not-quite the same, or what-the-heck-is-that-doing-in-here different. WWYD? Thanks in advance for advice, suggestions, etc. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Personally, I love the set. I tend to be matchy matchy where my MB is concerned. I'd find some flat clear pine trim and run it like molding around the top of the dresser. You might (I can't tell from the picture) be able to use wood filler and stain it the color of the furniture. At worst, a piece of 1/8 inch furniture grade plywood cut to fit as an insert to the molding all stained to match. |
Outside corner molding. What a great idea! Why didn't I think of that! I think that's what I'll do. Thanks. =) (Can't use wood filler on that big area... he took some major wood off there.) |
So sorry your dog has cancer. What is his name? He looks like a sweetheart. |
Awww.. thanks. He's a very sweet boy - his name is Duke. He's a retired racing greyhound who just turned 7, and was diagnosed at the end of March this year with osteosarcoma. Life span after diagnosis tends to be very short, unfortunately. So I'm just loving him and letting him enjoy the time he has, however long that is. |

You could do what I do - embrace the canine decorations. I do try to prevent them but they can happen quickly - especially with puppies. I've come to value similar toothy decorations on various pieces of furniture because they remind me of much beloved dogs who have gone on and of the puppyhood of current dogs. I'd lemon oil (or what ever is appropriate to blend the damage a bit) and probably sand the corner a bit and live with it. Some of my 'decorations' are more than 20 years old and bring back good memories. The set is lovely and IMHO still appealing with the lacy tooth marks. Duke, with his pink 'banner' looks content. He is lucky to have you. The way he is lying in the picture makes me want to reach out and pet him. Little Brother sure is cute. |
I like the bed and the mirror. Love the square lines of it. The dog is soooo cute as well. I hope you have more time than you expect with him. |
Such sweet doggies. So sorry to hear of Duke's cancer. Hope his days on this Earth are filled with love. This is a little outside the box, but I really like that set and I'd try it if it were mine...remove the existing top and replace with a slab of stone, not too thick, because it'd be heavy, but it'd look cool. Or, less heavy, replace it with a 1/2" plywood and add slate, granite or marble tile and add wood molding trim. |

May every dog be surrounded by love (and tasty furniture) as yours are. After life as a racing dog, Duke is so lucky to have found a safe and protective haven with you. I like the set very much and think jaysmom's suggestion is excellent. We have a chewed footboard, but it wasn't as imperative that we repair it seamlessly since the piece was somewhat distressed to begin with. Now it's even more distressed. |
Healing thoughts being sent Duke's way, and yours. I, too, have chew marks in various places on furniture (and woodwork). It's a nice looking set. If you love the dresser, maybe you could look into having a professional furniture repair person look at it. I took a broken pedestal side table to a furniture restorer recently and he did a great job for a reasonable sum. |

I love the photo of Duke, I think greyhounds look sort of like deer and I would love to have one (DH vetoes, I have 1 dog and that's enough to him). I second the suggestion to have a furniture restorer or woodworker look at it. They could maybe fix it for a smallish sum ($100?) and it would be a lot less than replacing it. |
- Posted by technicolor (My Page) on Sun, Aug 19, 12 at 8:31
You could replace the top with a new wood top from a good woodworker. Hang on to the old top for shelves or another use. I'm sad for your guy. He is so blessed having you. When mine was sick, she ate everything of weirdness and was never an issue before. Didn't get into the furniture, but I too said whatever she wants it is her time. She was on pain meds and I think when the pain got bad was when she would chew. Big hug for your guy. |
I'd also like to offer sympathy for Duke, who looks so sweet. It's sad to know he's only 7 and has this dx. It's wonderful of you to care for him so lovingly. I also let you know that you are not alone in furniture eating. I was working in my office one day recently during a mild thunderstorm. Riley was under the antique pine table in the back of the LR, being perfectly quiet. A few days later when I went to dust it and water a plant... The do-er, looking innocent? He has a brother and sister who wouldn't dream of doing something like this. |
Depending on how the piece was built, the top may come off easily or it may not. Possible you could take it off and rotate it so the damage is to the back. Poor Duke. I fostered a tripod Golden for her final months of life. I was richer for the experience. |

I love the set and would try to get it repaired by a professional. It would be a whole lot cheaper than buying new. So sorry about your doggie, it must be hard. |
Thanks for the compliments on my bedroom set. And thanks also for the great ideas! I like out of the box, and the slab idea sounds pretty awesome. I looked and prefab pieces are too big but maybe I can get one cut down. Ikea has some not too huge, but nothing too exciting. Still, I'll be there tomorrow so will take a look. And thanks so much for the kind thoughts and words about my handsome Duke. Poor guy got dealt a rough hand in life - I guess that's what happens when you are born on a Friday the 13th! ;o) He has an amazing attitude, spirit, and will to live, however. Sounds like I'm in the company of a lot of fellow dog lovers on this board. And poor Riley, thunderstorms can be so scary! (Sorry about your table, however. Ouch!) Graywings - hats off to you for fostering a dog knowing she had very limited time. I'm not sure my heart could take it. |

i am in the memory camp.our lovely archway into the dining room has wooden hammer dents in it from when my little DS stood on his Cozy Coop and hammered the archway. My camel leather cashmere lined gloves that I adore and wear- have a bite out of the wrist from Cooper. I would sand a bit and stain the ripped wood, maybe the bite marks and call it done. To me those are precious family memories. perfection! |

I love the bedroom set (and all of the pups). Matching wood might be a little tricky so try something entirely different like soapstone or tiles of some sort. I think a soapstone top would look great with the style of the bedroom set. Jodi- |
Or... You could rebuild the corner with wood-filler (or wood putty), and then paint the entire top black. That might look cool. Especially if you also painted the tops of the night-stands and got black pulls. |

ah, Duke looks like such a sweet guy! little brother does too. Hugs to both of them! yep, I have a good number of tooth prints and chewed things that i've grown to love over the yrs. After the initial shock and tears. I've come to the point that the things just aren't as important to me anymore as my furbabies. I'm not telling the puppy that tho. It's like mega yrs ago with Jackie doing a guided tour of the WH - "These are engraved claw marks from a bone 'dig'. And over here is where Sir Pup enjoyed a corner of the Washington oriental rug. It was priceless. And then over there is Abe's favorite chair. It originally had an arm on each side of it..." |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chance!
Facts about Chance
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Chance's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
My name is Chance! What can I say, I love everyone I meet! I was rescued from the county shelter after my family left me there through no fault of my own. I want a family who will love me and not tie me outside. While I am a big fellow I have great house manners. I get along great with other dogs, cats and love people and kids. I would make a great family dog and I wish very much to have a family of my own. I am 3 years old, house trained, neutered and up to date on my vaccines. If you would like more information e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 540-586-6100.
Other Pets at Bedford Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chance, a Bedford Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Bedford, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Bedford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bedford already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bedford breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bedford paves the way for another one to be saved.

Before I had kids I would hear people talk about how their child sleeps with them and I thought, Oh hell no. That will never, ever be me -- not in a gazillion billion years! My kid will sleep in a crib! Fast forward to me with kids and, well, let's just say I get it now.
My daughter sleeps with my husband and me in our Queen size bed that has proven to be way too small for the three of us. And that's mainly because one of us (the littlest one) is essentially a sleeping windmill. I am quite thankful that my son (I have 2-year-old twins) prefers the crib.
I know I'm not alone. Millions of parents are out there losing sleep and getting punched in the eye by tiny fists attached to tiny bodies that go thump in the night. And dads Andy Herald and Charlie Capen have illustrated our co-sleeping plight to perfection with these baby sleep positions.
Andy and Charlie's blog How to Be a Dad is so real, so funny, and so clever that any parent will be nodding along thinking thank goodness I'm not alone thinking the wacky stuff I think sometimes. And it's these co-sleeping bits that they created that had my husband and me giggling ever so softly as not to wake the sleeping beast in our bed.
As you can see above, H is for Hell.
The neck scarf is never the accessory you want to wear while trying to sleep. How could this be comfortable, kid?!
Stalkers are creepy. Especially miniature ones who say I luff you when you catch them.
This is a real danger of co-sleeping. The mom in this image has the better idea -- sleep with back to child. Or wear protective body gear to bed. No one is safe!
Happy sleeping, everyone. Hope you get some zzzs and not ze kick in ze throat by five little piggies.

ITS Projects and Initiatives
In July 2012, the executive leadership approved moving forward with several significant ITS initiatives designed to enhance technologies capabilities throughout the campus. These initiatives include:
- Implementing a new administrative system (Jenzabar CX/JX) that will enhance services in the business office, student services, admissions, registration, and additional business operations.
- A new Cisco Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) unified communications system that includes replacement of all BVU phones and offers new voice-mail. This system enables small classroom video conferencing, which will be phased in the upcoming years.
- Early Fall of 2013, all staff computers will be replaced with new machines, as detailed in the Staff Computer Replacement Project Plan. Faculty computer replacements are scheduled for Summer 2014. GPS sites and all other locations will be refreshed in the Summer of 2015.
- Classroom technology will be upgraded every year in a sequence determined by the Educational Technology Support committee (ETS).
- A new help desk ticketing system was implemented Spring of 2013 and supports the processing of incident resolution moving through 2FIX. This system also will serve as a central inventory for all BVU-owned equipment.
- Replacing the learning management system (LMS), which currently is ANGEL LMS, with a new LMS.
- Replace the assessment application (Focus) with a new system that better meets the needs for the BVU faculty.
Network infrastructure initiatives include:
- Finalizing disaster recovery
- Improving network security
- Account management overhaul
- Change management processes
- Enhancing system monitoring
- Annual bandwidth increases

"Flat is the new up," says Hyundai's U.S. head in regards to sales.
During a media dinner on the eve of the New York Auto Show, Hyundai Motor America's head, John Krafcik, reflected on Hyundai's relatively good position in light of the economic downturn: "I never thought that I'd be happy to say that having our sales be flat is a good thing," he announced, "but in a market that's down 37% overall, we're happy. Flat is the new up!"
Krafcik and his team at Hyundai Motor America have other reasons to be happy. In 2008, Hyundai had 3% of the U.S. new-car market, but their research shows that, in 2009, some 26% of people who intend to buy a new car have Hyundai on their shopping lists. "The Genesis is the ultimate stigma buster," boasts Krafcik. "It's an image leader [for us]. It gives people some 'cover' to consider other Hyundais, now that it's won the [North American] Car of the Year."
Krafcik expects the Genesis to benefit from the economic slowdown due to a "reverse social stigma" in owning premium brands. A CEO of a company, he points out, can buy a Genesis and enjoy most if not all of the same features and benefits as a BMW or Mercedes, but be able to tell his employees, "Yeah, I bought a new car. A Hyundai."
Genesis, Krafcik continued, could become its own brand, with several models, especially since Hyundai Motor Corporation decided against doing a separate luxury sales channel, a decision Krafcik describes as "being...very sage."

Meet 'em where they're at. That's essentially what some of North America's largest seafood suppliers are doing — making products simple and easy to prepare for both restaurants operating on slim margins and for frugal retail customers trying to stick to a budget while incorporating more seafood into their diets. Value-added offerings and perceived bargains are driving seafood sales in the slowly recovering economy, suppliers and analysts say, to take advantage of the latest trends in seafood consumption, which has hovered around 16 pounds per capita in the United States for many years.
Value-added products may hold the key to increasing consumption, as they remove a fundamental obstacle when consumers think about seafood — how to cook it. Look up and down SeaFood Business' 2010 Top 20 North American Seafood Suppliers list — a group that accounted for $10.6 billion in sales last year — and you'll find the leading producers of casual-dining foodservice and retail seafood products that strive to take the fuss of seafood preparation out of the equation. Trident Seafoods, High Liner Seafoods (and its U.S. subsidiary Fishery Products International of Danvers, Mass.), Beaver Street Fisheries and, of course, the "Big Three" canned tuna brands of StarKist, Chicken of the Sea and Bumble Bee — all of those companies are in the top 10.
While sales may be rising for several companies, their increased revenue is partly due to ever-increasing raw material costs. But there is also evidence that the fog of a recession hangover has not yet cleared. Dealing with new baseline prices for the most popular seafood items like shrimp, tuna, salmon and whitefish — all while turning a profit during a tenuous transition from recession to the beginnings of inflation — has been the seafood industry's greatest challenge as of late.
"On a couple of species, that's been real tough, particularly on salmon," says Henry Demone, CEO of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia-based High Liner Foods, which placed No. 7 on this year's list with $602 million in 2010 sales. "Salmon costs went up a lot. We don't sell that much farmed salmon; we have a big wild salmon business and we put our retail prices up — not enough when you look at the cost increases but it's too much for the consumer."
Sixty percent of High Liner's sales go to the foodservice segment, but Demone says retailers are aggressively working to close the gap in overall seafood sales both in Canada and the United States (roughly two-thirds of all seafood consumed in the United States is eaten at restaurants). Providing can't-fail value-added seafood products that save time and effort — like the company's new line of FireRoasters seafood meals, which the company heavily promoted at this year's International Boston Seafood Show — is one way to hook consumers when they're grocery shopping, says Demone.
"Continuity of supply, portion control, traceability, sustainability — you wrap all that around a brand and that's our value-add," says Demone.But price often speaks the loudest, especially in a crowded seafood display case where everything is laid out with price tags featured prominently. One veteran retail expert says a lot of competition happens behind the glass shield.
"The biggest trend we're seeing at retail is consumers in pursuit of value, looking for ways to maximize their food dollar," says Steve Lutz, executive VP of the Perishables Group, a Chicago-based retail consulting firm. "Since the recession hit in 2008, we've really seen a trend of consumers trading down, moving from higher-priced proteins to more mid- and value-priced proteins as a way to extend their food dollar."
Lutz notes that it's not just "stressed consumers" in lower- or middle-income brackets leading the trading-down trend — the down economy has affected nearly all income brackets. But he's buoyed by the fact that a particular high-end seafood category is showing signs of strength after a protracted spell of slipping sales.
"One of the biggest product categories we saw growth in a year ago was lobster. Lobster is one of the most expensive per-pound items in the grocery store. But because of a plentiful supply the price of lobster went from about $14 a pound [retail] down to about $11 a pound," adds Lutz. "Consumers who eat lobster recognized that and the sales skyrocketed as a result. But it was really a pursuit of value."
For another example of value-added seafood's importance in growing sales, look to the South. Fourth-generation family-owned company Beaver Street Fisheries of Jacksonville, Fla., is also boasting a wider array of retail seafood products to capture consumers' attention and meet their time-pressed needs. In late March the company, which ranked No. 9 on this year's list with $443 million in 2010 sales, added nine products to its popular Sea Best product line. Lemon & Pink Peppercorn Tilapia, Thai Chili Salmon, Tuscan Mahi and Coconut Torpedo Shrimp are just a few of the new flavors.
While offering consumers restaurant-quality seafood with convenience so they can be more confident in cooking seafood at home is important to Beaver Street, CEO Jeff Edwards says the company's sights are set on many moving targets far afield from the busy supermarket freezer aisle where it competes every day.
"Two priorities for Beaver Street Fisheries are food safety and sustainability," says Edwards, stressing the importance of regular safety audits and quality-control checks on seafood sources worldwide to build consumer trust. Without that, even the fanciest of marketing schemes stands little chance of success.
"Beaver Street values the overall health of the world's oceans and is committed to ensuring that the next four generations will be able to source and market the same rich and comprehensive variety of seafood species as it does today," says Edwards. Beaver Street is an "active participant" in World Wildlife Fund, Marine Stewardship Council and Global Aquaculture Alliance projects and, like a growing number of prominent suppliers, retailers and restaurant operators, is committed to sourcing wild and farmed seafood from certified-sustainable sources.

Ranking seafood suppliers by annual sales is an inexact science, complicated by the fact that there are a wide variety of seafood companies operating on very different business models. To make things as simple as possible, we lump in vertically integrated suppliers with other wholesalers and distributors. It's a very complex industry: In some cases, the sale of the same fish may be counted more than once, as certain companies that appear on the list are known to do business with each other. For instance, Tri-Marine International of Bellevue, Wash., supplies tuna to the "Big Three" tuna canners, and all four companies are on the list.
The challenge of compiling this year's roster has never been greater. SeaFood Business asked qualifying company executives to share their total seafood sales and reviewed the annual results of two public companies — Clearwater Seafoods and High Liner Foods, both based in Canada. Most leading U.S. seafood firms are privately or family owned and are not obligated to report sales to the media; their participation is greatly appreciated. Several companies are owned by corporations based in foreign countries like Japan, Thailand and South Korea.
Participants are also offered the option of providing a sales range or an estimate instead of a specific number.
For companies that choose not to participate in a given year, their sales carry over from the previous year, but for only one year; companies that do not participate two consecutive years are removed from the list. Calls were made to nearly 40 companies across the continent, including many who have reported their sales in the past. Trident Seafoods of Seattle ranks No. 1 on the list again this year, but did not return calls or e-mails seeking its 2010 sales.
In addition, there are three noteworthy firms that no longer report annual sales, including Red Chamber of Vernon, Calif., Maruha Nichiro and Pacific Seafood Group of Clackamas, Ore. Red Chamber hasn't shared its results since 2006, when it posted $1.016 billion in sales; company executives did not return calls seeking last year's sales. And the last time that Pacific Seafood disclosed its annual sales was in 2005, when it raked in $874 million. After a series of acquisitions in recent years, Pacific's sales are believed to be in the $1 billion range, but the company chooses to say only that it strives "to be the best, not the biggest."
Maruha Nichiro Holdings, a Japanese conglomerate with U.S. headquarters in Seattle, also did not return calls; its U.S. holdings include Westward Seafoods and Peter Pan Seafoods of Seattle, Orca Bay Seafoods of Renton, Wash., and Trans Ocean Products of Bellingham, Wash. Globally, Maruha's sales hit $9.7 billion last year, according to an annual financial statement obtained from its website.
Thus, the list would look considerably different with the inclusion of Red Chamber, Pacific and Maruha and their combined $2.5 billion in additional sales — a conservative estimate.

Coronado, CA– Hotel del Coronado – California's premier Pacific resort – will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2013 with a series of community events, charitable promotions and guest packages. A yearlong calendar of activities has been planned for The Del's milestone anniversary, including citywide historic exhibits, special events and a variety of historic-themed offerings.
The centerpiece of the celebration is the release of a new 208-page history book, Hotel del Coronado History, featuring over 440 images, most of which have never been published before, including behind-the-scenes snapshots of Marilyn Monroe during the 1958 filming of Some Like It Hot! There are also personal photos and reminiscences that go back to the resort's earliest days, along with vintage memorabilia such as menus and brochures.
The Del will also honor its 125th anniversary with a year-long partnership with United Through Reading (UTR), a national military program which helps ease the stress of separation for military families by having deployed parents read and record books for their children to watch as DVDs. To help fund this effort, the hotel will donate $1.25 from the sale of each new history book and sponsor additional fund-raising events throughout 2013.
The Legend Lives On
Conceived in the 19th century, Hotel del Coronado came of age during the Victorian era, debuting as one of the country's preeminent seaside resorts, drawing moneyed guests from across the country and around the world. According to Del historian Christine Donovan, in the intervening years, The Del continued to prosper thanks to dedicated leadership … and some good fortune.
As Donovan points out, while many resorts lost their patronage early in the 20th century due to the First World War (1917-18) and Prohibition (1920), The Del was in a unique position: "World War I brought guests to The Del via a growing Navy establishment in San Diego. Prohibition, likewise, favored the hotel because of its proximity to prohibition-free Mexico."
Later years were no more kind to America's other vintage Victorian resorts. Says Donovan, "Many hotels could not survive the long years of the Great Depression and World War II, but, again, wartime build-up favored The Del with an influx of Navy, including fighter pilots trained in Coronado and housed at the hotel. According to Donovan, after the war, massive urbanization efforts brought down many of America's last surviving grand resorts, leaving The Del as one of a very few to remain.
Donovan adds, "Through the years, Hotel del Coronado had a series of owners who fell in love with their 'lady by the sea,' wanting to both preserve her past and secure her future. Prudent restoration efforts and modernizations have helped The Del keep pace with a discerning clientele while retaining all the charm of the resort's 1888 architecture, spectacular setting and fabled past."
Today, Hotel del Coronado is a National Historic Landmark and an American treasure. With a world-class spa, seaside dining venues, and the addition of Beach Village, an enclave of luxury beach cottages, The Del is perfectly poised for another 125 years of historic excellence.
125th Anniversary Calendar
- The Del will debut a new 208-page coffee table book, Hotel del Coronado History, featuring over 440 images, most of which have never been published before.
- The Del will honor its 125th anniversary with a year-long partnership with United Through Reading (UTR), a national military program which helps ease the stress of separation for military families. To help fund this effort, the hotel will donate $1.25 from each new history book sold in 2013.
- A variety of special room packages will also be offered throughout the year.
- Let the celebration begin! A giant bow will decorate the resort's iconic red turret, anniversary banners will be displayed throughout the property.
- The City of Coronado will join in the celebration with festive anniversary banners along Orange Avenue, which the hotel will later donate to and raffle off for Coronado non-profit organizations.

- The historic Norfolk Island pine outside the Crown Room, the first electrically lit outdoor Christmas tree in America, will be lighted once again, commemorating its inaugural lighting in 1904.

I'm flabbergasted that Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin's acute narcissism has led him to openly criticize Nelson Mandela upon his untimely death ("Bishop finds fault,'' news, Dec. 10).
What total disrespect for a man that Tobin should emulate, not denigrate. Are there term limits for Catholic Bishops? If so Santa, make it so in Providence.

Take care of unfinished business
PUBLISHED: 25 Jul 2012 00:06:26 | UPDATED: 26 Jul 2012 00:49:31PUBLISHED: 25 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 25 Jul 2012Ken Spence and Tony Frost
Grand visions consume huge resources. Two of the grander visions of this Parliament – the carbon tax and the minerals resource rent tax – are good examples. Each required a vast amount of legislative drafting talent and bureaucratic time.
But now that these two landmark projects have been delivered, at least in their initial forms, it is essential that the government refocus on providing taxpayers with the basic service of addressing the backlog of legislative announcements. Some of these have been sitting on the back burner for more than five years.
Take, for example, the rules that control the offshore subsidiaries of Australian companies, dating from 1990. In May 2009, the government announced that it would reform these measures and for the next two years there were odd flurries of activity as papers were released and drafts circulated. But that all came to a halt in February 2011.
For the past 18 months, there has been only silence.
Reforms to the tax rules for managed funds were foreshadowed before the "Kevin '07" election, pored over for the next two years, and committed to in May 2010, to start in July 2011.
But in April 2011, the Assistant Treasurer announced that the government would defer the starting date. This project has taken five years so far. The small and medium enterprise sector is also waiting for delivery of promised amendments.
In December 2010, the Assistant Treasurer announced that the taxation of trusts – the business vehicle of choice in the SME sector – would be reconceived. Again there was a flurry of press releases, discussion papers, submissions and some stop-gap amendments during 2011 but the larger project appears to have stalled.
We could go on. There are announced but unfinished projects on the treatment of share buybacks, sales of businesses where the price includes an "earn-out", relaxing the rules limiting the use of corporate losses, an enhanced treatment of infrastructure project losses, problematic key debt-equity provisions, offshore accumulation funds, legislating sovereign immunity, demergers, foreign exchange gains and losses and financial transactions generally – to name but a few. In addition, the government has yet to respond to a number of important reports from the Board of Taxation.
All the announcements mentioned are concluded government policy. In some instances these announced but unlegislated tax changes are to have retrospective application from the date of initial announcement.
It is essential that the government take action on the important and long overdue list of announced but unlegislated tax changes.
This is very much an issue of government providing a level of basic service to taxpayers, big and small.

Dart to the television news industry, for a shameful nonresponse to serious questions about their vetting of analysts hired to comment on the invasion of Iraq and other military matters.
On April 20, The New York Times published David Barstow's eye-opening investigation into a Defense Department program designed to influence the influencers. In 2002-2003, as the Bush administration made its case against Iraq, the Pentagon rounded up more than seventy-five retired military officials who were already on retainer with various broadcast media outlets to provide military commentary and analysis. Internally, Pentagon staff officials referred to the analysts as "surrogates" and "message-force multipliers," and provided them with briefings, talking points, and gratis tours of Iraq and Guantánamo. The analysts got special access to senior officials, including Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
That access seems key: Barstow reported that a majority of analysts participating in the program had ties to defense contractors, who could presumably benefit from rubbing shoulders up top. One general admitted to Barstow that, desperate to preserve his Pentagon perks, he had trimmed his public criticism. Others said they worried the Pentagon would show them the door if they strayed too far from the administration line; indeed, Barstow describes one case where an analyst was booted from the group after being too harsh on air.
The piece was built on the back of a laudable two-year, Freedom of Information Act battle. The Times and its counsel dragged out thousands of pages of Pentagon transcripts, e-mails, and memos describing the program, but only after months of delays and circular excuses. As public editor Clark Hoyt wrote in a column describing the struggle, full cooperation came only after the paper persisted and a judge threatened to bring Pentagon officials into his court to explain "why they shouldn't be held in contempt."
Barstow's eight-thousand-word investigation suggests that some news operations did not (or did not care to) adequately vet their analysts, disclose links to defense contractors, or ask tough questions about the secret briefing program. While his case against the networks was somewhat circumstantial, as The Huffington Post's Rachel Sklar pointed out, it still presented, at the very least, significant questions about the appearance of conflicts of interest. And it called for a serious, open response, and, where appropriate, explanations and apologies to viewers.
Yet not one of the nightly commercial newscasts mentioned the story or offered an on-air explanation to its viewers. Reliable Sources, CNN's Sunday morning media show, hosted a late-breaking panel the morning Barstow's article appeared. MSNBC's Keith Olbermann briefly mentioned it. Elsewhere, the silence has been conspicuous.
Given the lack of cooperation some of the news operations gave Barstow in reporting his piece, the weak-kneed response is hardly surprising. Fox News, whose analysts made up the biggest chunk of the Pentagon program, tersely refused to participate in the Times story, and failed to return CJR's calls seeking comment. CBS also turned down Barstow's request to comment on its vetting procedures, and failed to respond to CJR's oral and written requests for comment. NBCand MSNBC jointly rebuffed an interview request, providing instead a statement attacking the Times piece and insisting that they had full confidence in their analysts despite any "personal commitments—past and present."
ABC and CNN participated in Barstow's story, and also agreed to speak with CJR. "I'm sure there will be some instance where I might feel differently, but I work at a news organization. We ask questions for a living. I feel it is incumbent upon us to answer questions when they are asked," said ABC spokesman Jeff Schneider, the only network employee to be quoted in Barstow's piece. (However, he declined to say whether ABC had done a comprehensive review of its past consultants in the wake of Barstow's piece.) CNN's Christa Robinson told CJR that in the wake of the story, the network reviewed the financial disclosures required of its current consultants.

Form of vocal chamber music, usually polyphonic and unaccompanied, of the 16th–17th centuries. It originated and developed in Italy, under the influence of the French chanson and the Italian frottola. Usually written for three to six voices, madrigals came to be sung widely as a social activity by cultivated amateurs, male and female. The texts were almost always about love; most prominent among the poets whose works were set to music are Petrarch, Torquato Tasso, and Battista Guarini. In Italy, Orlande de Lassus, Luca Marenzio, Don Carlo Gesualdo, and Claudio Monteverdi were among the greatest of the madrigalists; Thomas Morley, Thomas Weelkes, and John Wilbye created a distinguished body of English madrigals.
