LJMU represented at the House of Lords
27 June 2012
Lawrence (Lol) Burke, senior Criminal Justice lecturer at LJMU's School of Law was invited to represent the University at the House of Lords for a reception to mark the centenary of the National Association of Probation Officers (NAPO).
The event was hosted by Baroness Linklater, a Liberal Democrat peer who has interests in penal reform.
Lol was joined by delegates from every branch of NAPO in England and Wales, as well as high-profile politicians, criminal justice professionals and campaigners, including the Minister for Prisons and Probation, Rt Hon Crispin Blunt MP. The delegates listened to key note speeches by Jonathan Ledger, General Secretary of NAPO, and Baroness Linklater.
Lol is Editor of The Probation Journal and has recently co-authored with Professor George Mair, a history of the Probation Service in England and Wales; Redemption, Rehabilitation and Risk Management (Sage, 2011).
Commenting on the event, Lol said; "It was a very memorable day, very sunny and the views across the Thames were breathtaking. Whilst the speeches celebrated the contribution of NAPO to penal reform over the past hundred years, there was also a note of caution for the future of the probation service given the government's recent consultation which is proposing that approximately 60% of probation work should be outsourced to the private and voluntary sectors."

Half a trillion dollars buys a lot of influence
How can an organisation that buys one-half trillion dollars worth of stuff every year create a sustainable supply chain? That was the question posed to me and about 80 other guests who were invited by the White House to a meeting on March 30.
The White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the General Services Administration (GSA) co-sponsored a group brainstorm on what a Community of Practice for a Sustainable Supply Chain should look like. Put simply, a Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do, and learn how to do it better through regular interaction.
GSA does most of the purchasing for the US government (with the exception of military spending), and they want to use their buying power to drive sustainability practices down through the supply chain.
[Yes, this is the same GSA whose director resigned and two senior officials were fired three days after our meeting for excessive expenditures at an internal meeting in Las Vegas last year. Does that diminish the moral authority of the organization? Absolutely. Does it diminish the need to act? Absolutely not.]
CEQ and GSA brought a broad vision for the Community of Practice into the room, asked a few prompting questions, then sat back and listened. I facilitated one of the breakout groups intended to define the key attributes of a Supply Chain CoP, which, given the very diverse perspectives and the strong and confident personalities of the attendees, was a lot like herding cats. In any case, while there was no consensus on the specifics, there were plenty of excellent suggestions and ideas.
GSA is now in the process of compiling, sorting and making sense of all of the advice they received. By engaging with knowledgeable experts and practitioners, the end product will certainly be stronger than it would be if GSA developed it in isolation. And while there are plenty of details to be worked out, the potential for the CoP to not only drive environmental improvements, but to reduce the cost to the taxpayer as well, is enormous.

Get rid of the Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels
The reason for this petition is to get rid of the Denver Broncos new coach, Josh McDaniels. McDaniels was hired as the Broncos head coach, following the firing of Mike Shanahan. While Josh McDaniels was a very good offensive coach in New England, he has stated that he would have like to have traded 2008 Pro-Bowl selection Jay Cutler for Matt Casell, who had not started a single game for any NFL team since coming out of college. Jay Cutler was very displeased at the fact that "He was completely happy playing for McDaniels and being in Denver.". A source close to the league has said that "Their relationship is beyond repair". As many NFL fans know, the Bill Belichick coaching tree has not been what many people have expected it to be, with most teams who HAVE had coaches under him finishing under .500. While I am a die hard Denver Broncos fan, I do believe that this is not a good move for the organization. Mike Shanahan was the best coach to have ever been in Denver. Fine a way to bring him back, or get someone else..such as maybe John Gruden, or maybe even Mike Holmgren. Thank you for your time reading this, and please, sign the petition! Thanks to all, De'Andrev L.Maragh

What a great special edition of the People and Strategy journal - focused on Sustaining Purpose for Impact. It's definitely worth taking time to read it. What do you think?
Both the content and the new digital format are fantastic. As someone who appreciates maximizing time, effort and outcomes, it was great to read articles that are thought provoking, accessible and, oh so timely. And, if it couldn't get any better, there is a strong alignment of this special edition with the upcoming 2013 Global Conference focused on Renewing Organizational Vitality, April 14th – 17th in Denver.
It's great to post one's reactions to journal articles (as I've done below) and engage in virtual dialogue (which I'm hoping will happen). Yet, given the connection of these articles to Global Conference topics, I'm definitely looking forward to further "live and in person" discussions during the conference. In particular sessions such as Monday morning's Bridging the Gap: Eliminating Impediments to Business Performance by Building Talent Flexibility and Capacity or Monday afternoon's 3 Provocative Ideas: "Inspiring Creativity, Energy and Innovation", or Tuesday morning's Organizational Approaches to Unleashing Energy, Vitality and Innovation
All the articles in this issue of the journal are thought provoking. There are a number of topics from this journal that really resonated with what I've been observing and experiencing recently in my work.
Simon L. Dolan's and Yochanan Altman's Managing by Values: The Leadership Spirituality Connection made the connection between the "…instrumental values of the real business world and the spiritual needs for experiencing life that sustain it." And yet, they also observed in their conclusions that, "The 'experiencing of life,' as an existential agenda is often missing from the pages of management journals." I couldn't agree more and would add: it should be incorporated into our B-school and higher education management curriculum.
Joseph McCann's and John Selsky's article Being Purposeful in Turbulent Environments, spoke to a critical topic for all organizations – how to sustain high performance in the face of unending, disruptive change. They identified the need for highly developed adaptive capacity, consisting of agility and resiliency. Citing five essential capabilities needed for adaptive capacity, the first, "purposeful" caught my attention. We often think of individual's seeking their life purpose and organizations having a purpose for existing, but they offer an intriguing way to look at the "purposeful" capability across the full spectrum of a whole system: individual, team, organization and the meta level (ecosystem).
Then reading The Changing Tides of Careers, by Edie Goldberg, the connection with a "purposeful" capability and the concepts presenting in Dolan's and Altman's article is further strengthened as her research bears out an emerging new employee perspective on "career success". In contrast to a more traditional "career success" definition involving "…tangible items such as title, money and power" her research identified a new, emerging definition. Coined as the "Contemporary" perspective, career success is defined as involving "…a more intrinsic means of satisfaction such as being challenged, being able to fully utilize one's skills, having impact and the ability to achieve work-life balance."
So, all in all, I give a big thumbs up for the People and Strategy journal, Volume 35, Issue 4.
What is your take on this journal? It would be great to start a 'virtual' conversation prior to the conference followed by more robust 'live' conversation in Denver at the conference!

HRPS recently spoke with Anna Tavis, Ph.D., Point Counterpoint: New Perspectives on People & Strategy editor and head of Global Talent Management at Brown Brothers Harriman about HRPS' newest learning tool.
How will readers benefit from this new learning tool?The book offers a unique opportunity for HR professionals to educate themselves on the key concepts and tools that are central to our 21st century HR practice. Topics address the five HRPS pillars of knowledge: talent management, organizational effectiveness, leadership development, HR strategy & planning and building a strategic HR function. These foundational HR tools are presented from different points of view which allows the readers to independently discover the right solution for themselves without over-dependency on the so called "best practices" or individual guru's approach. In addition, a learning guide accompanies each set or articles to facilitate discussion and development among employees, organization leaders and students - it's a great for a lunch and learn session.
More than 120 authors, consultants, academics and practitioners from around the globe contributed their perspectives. Why is there such a broad range of contributors to the book?The broad range of contributors is deliberate. We engaged the best thought leaders in the HR profession to participate in a discussion of central concepts and issues that are on the minds of those of us who shape strategies and those who work with business clients on implementing them.
Complimentary copies of Point Counterpoint: New Perspectives on People & Strategy were distributed to attendees at the 2012 HRPS Global Conference. What have you heard about the book?The participants have acknowledged that not only the topics selected, but the presentation of those topics in the Point Counterpoint format was unique and particularly helpful to the practitioners currently working in the field. It gave them the understanding that there were no ultimate truths, but there were ultimate options for them to choose from and thus enrich their professional repertoire.
Where can HR professionals purchase Point Counterpoint: New Perspectives on People & Strategy? Copies are available for purchase through a variety of online retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble and the SHRM Store.

Using analytics in HR to show business impact and predict future performance is the next trend in our profession. Many organizations want to achieve success using this approach, but are unsure how to get there. Unfortunately, HR analytics has gotten off to rough start because it hasn't been well-defined. In our 2011 article for People and Strategy, we articulated what analytics are and what they are not. True analytics that drive the business and show a real return-on-investment is about linking HR data, using cause-effect statistics, to actual business outcomes.
We often hear from organizations that a key challenge in adopting an analytics-based approach to HR is "getting all of our systems (i.e. HRIS) in one place so that they can talk to each other."
Although system integration is important, it is not the key to successfully implementing analytics as part of your HR strategy.
Here are five practical paths that organizations can take to achieve the goal of creating an HR strategy based on analytics.
The good news is that any of these paths can be taken quickly and effectively, and all will lead you to being a business partner by showing the impact of HR on real business outcomes.
Scott Mondore, Ph.D., is currently a managing partner of Strategic Management Decisions (SMD) and is the co-author of "Investing in What Matters: Linking Employees to Business Outcomes" and the upcoming book:"Business-focused HR: 11 Processes to Drive Results" both published by SHRM. Mondore has significant experience in the areas of strategy, talent management, measurement, customer experience and organizational development across numerous industries. Mondore holds a master's degree and doctorate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the University of Georgia. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Chatting With the Round-3 Winner of Chopped Champions
by Maria Russo in Shows, January 29th, 2013In an all-new season of Chopped Champions, 16 chefs, each with a previous Chopped win under his or her belt, are returning to the kitchen to face off for a second time in the ultimate multicourse cook-off. Although they're no strangers to mystery baskets, these chefs are under more pressure than ever, as they're competing not just for Chopped glory but also a spot in the finale where they can ultimately claim a $50,000 prize and the coveted title of Grand Champion.
Each week, four chefs will take their places in the kitchen and battle it out in the hopes of outlasting the chopping block once again. While three will crumble beneath the demands of Champions cooking, one will prove his or her culinary chops for a second time. Check in with FN Dish every Tuesday night after the episode to hear from the latest winner.
For Chefs Corwin Kave, Jun Tanaka, Elise Kornack and Lester Walker, the greatest challenge of the appetizer course wasn't the dwindling time on the clock or the added pressure of Champions, but rather their baskets full of such common ingredients as smoked eel, cream cheese spread, quince paste and haricot verts. "All the ingredients are somewhat familiar," Judge Scott Conant explained, "and that's the challenge. How do you bring them together?" While all four chefs rose to the occasion like true champions, Chef Lester was chopped on account of poor presentation and disconnected flavors in his dish of a New York City-inspired toast with cream cheese-quince spread and a haricot vert salad. In their entree baskets, the remaining chefs found frog legs, yuzu marmalade, gin and tofu, and after a quick 30 minutes, they presented the panel with their offerings. Chef Elise wowed the judges with a gin-vegetable broth in her leftovers-inspired plate, and Chef Jun, despite dropping most of his prepped frog legs on the floor, offered an exceptionally tasty — albeit it small — dish of caramelized frog legs with what little product he had left. Chef Corwin, however, was less successful, on account of an offering with "four different elements with absolutely no cohesion," according to Judge Maneet Chauhan, and he faced the chopping block because of it. Exercising different strategies for success, Chefs Elise and Jun prepped desserts featuring four mandatory ingredients including jackfruit, araucana eggs, coconut macaroons and chocolate-covered pretzels. She took a "creative and playful" approach to her semifreddo, while he stayed true to the classics, preparing a clafoutis, with which he's very familiar. In the end, Chef Elise's dish landed on the chopping block on account of a "sour-forward" jackfruit puree, according to Judge Geoffrey Zakarian. Now a two-time Chopped victor, Chef Jun is advancing to the Grand Finale, where he'll compete for a $50,000 prize.
What does it mean to you to be Britain's only Chopped champion? Are you feeling more pressure than ever to represent your country well?
JT: It feels incredible to be Britain's only Chopped champion! The real pressure actually comes from myself. I always want to do well in anything that I set my mind to.
You seem to know your way around eel and frog legs. Is there one dreaded basket ingredient that you think has the potential to throw you off your game, something you just hate working with?
JT: Anything out of a can!
Talk to us about the moment the frog legs fell on the floor. You recovered like a true champion and were able to cook and serve what little you had left. How did you manage to stay focused and motivated in such a stressful situation?
JT: For a split second, I did feel like giving up, but then I focused and everything became very simple. I knew that I had no time to worry about anything but the taste of the dish, so I concentrated on getting as much flavor into that one frog leg as possible.
Did you have a plan-B scenario in the back of your mind, just in case you didn't have enough to plate?
JT: There was no time for a plan B. I knew that I had to make it work or get chopped!
It seemed that the taste of your dishes is what secured your win this week. Was it your strategy to focus primarily on developing the best possible flavor and think less about utilizing basket ingredients in new, inventive ways?
JT: I think that if a chef can utilize these basket ingredients and make something delicious, that's something new and inventive in itself. The most important aspect of food is taste, and sometimes — often when we're trying so hard to be innovative — we forget about that. Don't get me wrong: as a chef, being creative is vital, but it should always be secondary to flavor.
Looking ahead to the Grand Finale battle, how are you preparing for a showing with the highest level of competition? Will you stick with your classical French approach or introduce something new?
JT: I am passionate about classical French food – especially desserts – but I think it would be a mistake to go into the Grand Finale thinking I'm going to just stick to the classics. I am going in with an open mind and will ultimately let the ingredients decide where I take the dish.

It was just very obvious who they wanted to win. I will not go out of my way to watch this show.
I usually don't have too much to say about chopped but I really think that I probabally won't watch it so
much anymore after watching the semifinal and the final I think the chick elise got robbed because it didn't
matter what she cooked Scott C judge wasn't going to let her go anywhere. I mean chef Jun was good but
I can almost promise you that if Elise would have produced a dish that was less than a tasting she would
have been cut so actually the other two guys got robbed also-
You missed the fact that they found her entree to be DISGUSTING. Did you watch the show? They liked the broth but nothing else about her dish. Elise won round one by a tiny margin. Jun won round two hands down. Occasionally the judges may chop a contestant for the size of their dish, but his dish was so outstanding the size of his plate was moot. Jun hands down won the dessert round. Never have I seen a dessert so beautiful. Elise didn't cook her jack fruit and the sauce was sour and unpleasant. None o fthe judges liked it. This is the show that I watched.
I didn't like Elise's attitude last time and really loathed it this time. Hubris is such an ugly trait. I have never commented on the show until now. Because of this woman's despicable aura (how ironic that she's aligned with yoga), I would not eat her food. None of us goes through life always feeling that we get a fair shake every time, but some of us graciously give thanks, take anything learned and move on.
I completely concur. She spent all her time talking about yoga, holistic healing, etc. then she revealed that she herself was foul and hypocritical. I was embarrassed for her. I would have been wondering, "What was in that damn frog leg?" LOL Right!?! You have no leg to stand on just b/c he knew how to make a clafoutis and you don't.
Her whole argument about how he made things that he knew how to make was spurious. Didn't we watch her make things that she knew how to make??? DUH!
And, her whole rant about how she used the yolks and whites almost made me fall out of my chair.
Did I miss the Chopped Rule that gave extra credit using both? She was clearly so into herself that she made no sense to me. That phrase, "What a loser!", should permanently have her photo attached.
Interesting episode. I think Corwin was on the right path with his entrée by adding the yuzu in the tofu and dipping sauce, but he didn't add enough for it to work as the unifying element. Jun was the only chef who really had an excuse for the problem in his main course. His philosophy for cooking was very smart: have creativity and good presentation, but always put taste first. Elise was not pleasant to watch, but I do think she was a talented chef. Throughout the whole tournament, Jun played to the best of his abilities without being arrogant or foul-mouthed, which I am happy to see
The show is about flavor. If the taste of your dish is awesome, then you'll always advance to the next round. A contestant who is allowed to stay when they don't plate all items better have a dish so outstanding that their dish beats out one who had a bad or weak flavor.

Nero is popular for their feature filled, yet expensive, burning software. Well today Nero has released a stripped down free version of Nero 9:
To be honest, sure this may look like Nero is being generous finally offering a free version of their software, but, and I am being very blunt here, this free version of Nero 9 is useless. It can only burn data or copy CD/DVDs. That is it. It can't make audio CDs, burn or create ISOs, author DVDs, etc.; it is truly stripped down. My suggestion would definitely be Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009 over this but for Nero lovers who can't afford to purchase the full version of Nero… this is an early birthday present?
Nero 9 Free is a 55 MB download and works on x86 and x64 Windows XP, Vista and Win7. You can get Nero 9 Free from the following link:

Under this link you can download special "advanced" version of Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009 (this page is in German, but the program itself is in English, registration is required).
I don't know however, how it differs from "normal" ABS2009. -
Thanks for the listing. I'm no great fan of Nero, ever since an upgrade a few years ago high-jacked all of my default software settings and replaced them with Nero, without asking me first–Nero customer service told me I'd have to reverse this 1-by-1. (I haven't re-installed Nero since.) But, DVDShrink will work with Nero to shrink and burn in 1 step, and so I may use the limited release here for that purpose. It is, however, a waste that it's 55 megs (I assume that the Nero programmers simply deactivated aspects of the original software) …
Jim Van Damme
Can't imagine why the Nero freebie is 55MB.
I'm a fan of CDBurnerXP.
No Matter
Yeah, Ashampoo BS 2009, Burrrn, ImgBurn and ISO Recorder rocks!
http://www.imgburn.com/ -
How incredibly "generous" of Nero to offer something so comprehensive! Nero is bloatware anyway. Personally, I use ImgBurn (freeware) – it does just about everything and it does it well – and it's a small program that's light on resources. I highly recommend it to those folks who haven't tried it.
Well, they tend to bundle something similar with some CD-Burners (That is if you buy them in retail packaging, not OEM) I recall buying a CD-Burner at Best Buy around last year, and getting a "Nero Essentials" CD which only did copies, and burns of Data CD/DVDs at 48x.
Yeah, its pretty useless, but people tend to overestimate the value of "free". -
You may recall my recent postings 'bout using nero.
Until the staff at nero, get their heads, out of where the Sun does not shine. I will never use any of their products again.
I have to go now, cuz if I stay any longer I'm going to rant, and my doctor wants me to watch my blood pressure.
Thanks Ashraf for the tip on ashampoo.

The Denickers are a strong-willed, gutsy family consisting of a mom, Susan and her grown son, Anthony and daughter Alyssa. They know that moving wild animals and pets is a tricky, challenging, and often hilarious venture. Each high stakes assignment has it's own unique challenge--not only in getting their live cargo to their destination quickly and safely, but in keeping their human clients happy and calm as well. And the Denickers themselves? While they're pros at what they do, they aren't always calm and composed. The family dynamic is as much a part of the entertainment as the animals themselves.

1. It should be from a legit seller or website like an amazon webstore .
2. It should be FDA approved .
3.It should have at least 50% of Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) on it to be an effective weight loss supplement, of course the higher it has the better.
4.You should take time reading the customers' reviews about how effective that supplement was. Good luck!

Just a quick tip for all the ladies trying to lose weight out there. Cardio is great, but if you do only cardio (running, elliptical, etc) then you are going to get SOME results. To get better results, try some weight training! You might not get your heart rate up that high but your body is working!
Weight training is better at building muscle than cardio alone and muscle burns fat AFTER your workout! you'll tone muscles that look great in that tank top and shorts and get the benefit of them also being little fat-burners (don't worry about bulking up girls, we're not built for that biologically).
Try to aim for 2-3 days of moderate weight lifting. Squats, lunges, bicep curls, tricep dips, chest presses, flies, and so many more!
I've trained for a major athletic event annually and I noticed the difference when integrating weight training. Try it for 10 weeks, you will see the difference!

I stumbled across this link with the free video, and got a program that builds Lean Muscle Within 7 Days.
After trying this program, the results came. I am super excited, and hope that someone else struggling with the same problem can learn anything from this program.

There are plenty of foot-care products in the pharmacy and health store but which ones are worth buying (green light), and which should you avoid (red light)? We give you the lowdown on 10 popular foot products.
Non-medicated callus and corn cushions – these doughnut-shaped pads can help provide relief from pressure on corns and calluses. To get rid of corns, soak your feet in warm water for 20 minutes, and rub away the softened, dead skin with an emery board, pumice stone or rough wash cloth. If they keep recurring, consider changing your shoe style.
Callus and corn remover – preparations containing salicylic acid, including paint-on liquids and medicated pads, should be avoided except under professional supervision; especially by people with circulation problems caused by diabetes, for example. They may damage surrounding skin and cause infection.
Plantar wart remover – like a corn and callus remover (above), wart remover can damage surrounding skin, causing infection. A common home remedy recommended by some medical professionals is coloured duct tape – cover the wart with a piece of duct tape 24 hours a day, six days a week, for six weeks. Non-medicated, doughnut-shape pads can help relieve pressure.
Foot files – used for scraping off hardened skin, they're okay but go easy with them – don't scrape until you bleed! A pumice stone is gentler.
Moleskin – made of cotton flannel, with an adhesive backing, moleskin provides protection against friction that causes corns, calluses, bunions and blisters. It tends to stay in place better than band aids, even when wet from sweat, rain or puddles – it's often recommended for running and hiking.
Detox foot pads –stick-on patches that claim to absorb toxins from your body through your feet while you sleep. They don't work!
Foot powders – can help with smelly, sweaty feet, and tend to be better than sprays.
Orthotics – non-prescription orthotics are worth trying before you get fitted for prescription ones, which can cost hundreds of dollars. They may help provide support and cushioning for your feet which, in turn, may help with sore knees and back — although this isn't backed up by studies. If you have fallen arches or flat feet, look for orthotics with arch support. For ongoing problems, consult a podiatrist.
Magnetic ankle support – elastic bandages containing small magnets are safe to use, but there's no convincing evidence these magnets offer any therapeutic benefit above and beyond the support from the bandage itself. Save your money and get the cheaper, magnet-less one.
Heel balm – more than just a moisturiser for relieving dry, cracked heels, these often contain ingredients that exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving skin softer and smoother.
Podiatrists are allied-health professionals, dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of foot problems –including corns, bunions, ulcers, as well as lower limb biomechanical-related injuries and problems related to diabetes. Other services include gait analysis and prescribing orthotics. You don't need a referral to see one, but some services attract a Medicare rebate – your GP can tell you if you qualify.

Episode Information
Three high-profile murders at Connecticut universities in six short months has students and parents asking: Is my campus safe? The UCONN community is sill reeling after Sunday night's horrific crime. One student, Jasper Howard, is dead and another is injured. Meanwhile investigations continue in Middletown and New Haven into two more murders that captured national attention.
Beyond these extreme instances of violence, universities everywhere must constantly focus on keeping their students safe from these and more ordinary dangers. This brings up complicated questions like: How can schools balance the conflicting demands of student independence and parental anxiety? Is it possible to anticipate and prevent campus crime? If so, how? And what does it all mean for the sometimes-strained relationships between institutions of higher education and the communities they inhabit?
Coming up, Where We Live, a conversation with university officials, safety experts and you. Do you feel safe on your campus?
***Update - The Hartford Courant has an excellent roundup of stories about the Jasper Howard murder here. Meanwhile, more news happened only hours after our program was taped. An armed man robbed a McDonald's near Trinity College's campus, and later killed himself. The campus was in lockdown for several hours. Details below courtesy The Hartford Courant***
Message from UConn President Michael Hogan
The following message was sent to the UConn community by President Michael Hogan this afternoon.
October 22, 2009
Dear Members of the UConn Family,
I know you share my sadness and utter dismay over the violence that occurred early Sunday morning at the University of Connecticut and that took from us one of our students, Jasper Howard. Any assault of this type is an affront to what we stand for as a community and the kind of environment we all strive to create at UConn.
We are still a community in grief over the loss of our Jasper, a promising student who was a member of our football team, which is how many of us came to know him. Jasper's death represents for us a terrible, incomprehensible loss. We are diminished by his death, and we know it.
We are thankful for all of the expressions of support pouring in for Jasper's family and our local community in these past few days. Those kind thoughts and prayers for the Howard family and our community have made a difference.
Many of you are interested in ways that you can participate in the different events that are being held to remember Jasper, express your condolences to the family, and help. We are posting this information on our Web sites, in particular, the Official Athletics Web site (http://www.uconnhuskies.com/). We will continue to communicate with you via this Web site, our news Web sites, and e-mail, as additional information becomes available.
While we mourn this day, we have Jasper's memory and spirit to help us carry on, and to remain a place where students can flourish, hope can endure, and evil will forever be banished. These sentiments were so beautifully shared in Wednesday night's candlelight vigil, where we came together to honor Jasper. Our interests are in seeing justice served. I am grateful to the UConn and state police for their outstanding work on the case. I am reassured by their progress and have offered the University's assistance in any way they think we can be of help.
In the weeks ahead, all of us will experience a range of emotions. We need to take care of each other and reach out to those among us who are struggling. Few of us deal easily with shock and grief in isolation. Talk together. Students, call home. Parents, call your daughters and your sons. Listen and talk to one another, and in that contact seek the beginnings of solace and comfort.
I want to reemphasize that help is available to anyone in our community who needs assistance. The number for Counseling & Mental Health Services is (860) 486-4705. Assistance is also available to faculty and staff through UConn's Employee Assistance Program at (860) 679-2877.
We have suffered, individually and collectively. I want everyone to know how grateful and proud I am for the compassion that I see in people's gentle kindness toward one another and in the calls and e-mail communications I'm receiving from students, staff, faculty, parents, alumni, and friends of the University.
UConn is a family. Many of us have parents, daughters and sons, sisters and brothers, and friends who are UConn alumni. Many of you are accustomed to visiting the Storrs campus for athletic events and academic gatherings. However near to or far from UConn and its people each of us may be, tragic events like this remind us of how important it is to care for each other, to do our parts to ensure that, as a University, we continue to place the highest value on respect, tolerance, kindness, and civility.
Michael J. Hogan
University of Connecticut

"Outstanding Value Priced Cigar"
This cigar was quite a surprise. Perfectly even burn from beginning to end. Almost perfect draw and consistency plus solid construction make this stick a bargain. The flavor is a little lighter and milder than I desire, but not in a bad way. There was really nothing not to like about this cigar especially at about 2 bucks a pop. Good solid performer!
Charles in Oldsmar, FL September 15, 2014
"Well made, consistent, solid value"
This is a well made cigar with consistent flavor, draw and burn. Quite a value. I was expecting something far less at this price. A pretty decent every day cigar that could sell for more.

Penton Media,Hay & Forage Grower'sparent company,today has acquired Farm Progress from Fairfax Media Limited of Sydney, Australia. That significantly expands its agriculture-sector footprint, making it the largest and most-diversified agriculture information business in North America, offering live events, digital products, data, marketing services and publications.
The acquisition directly supports a key Penton strategy of increasing investment in existing sectors that offer strong long-term growth potential. It more than doubles Penton's position in agriculture, which becomes the company's largest sector group. The purchase price was $79.9 million before certain adjustments.
The acquisition boosts Penton's U.S. agriculture market coverage, connecting it to nearly 75% of the 2.2 million U.S. farms and ranches and an estimated 85% of the nation's annual agricultural gross domestic product.
Farm Progress features four of the industry's leading farm-trade events, including the nation's largest outdoor farm show, a robust broadcast division, and many well-established media brands. They join Penton Agriculture's portfolio of market-leading franchises.
Agriculture: A Long-Term, Global Industry
"Our investment is supported by several inarguable global economic trends including rising demand for nutrition, limited arable land and water, and strong export potential for agriculture products, capital equipment and related production technology into developing countries," says Penton CEO David Kieselstein.
"The world looks to the U.S. as the center of innovation in agri-science, which gives Penton a unique opportunity to help this industry grow both domestically and internationally," he says.
How Farm Progress Fits Into Penton
"We've always had tremendous respect and admiration for Farm Progress and its products. We also have a clear, strategic commitment to grow our agricultural information business, and Farm Progress perfectly supports that goal," Kieselstein says.
"Farm Progress is a high-quality company – the team has delivered excellent organic revenue and EBITDA growth," he continues. "Moreover, this business fits with Penton's heightened focus on properties that have high levels of user engagement. The fact that Farm Progress events attract more than 200,000 attendees from across the agriculture community every year is a prime example of that value."
The business case for combining Penton Agriculture and Farm Progressis compelling: the two companies have deep market and content expertise, but the agriculture sub-industries and geographies they serve have minimal overlap. Together, they represent a uniquely powerful strategic reach advantage for any agriculture marketer looking to maximize their business results.
Farm Progress will become part of the Penton Agricultural Group reporting to Dan Bagan, Penton senior vice president. Jeff Lapin, president of Farm Progress, will leave the company at the end of the year.
Farm Progress will remain headquartered in St. Charles, IL.
See a current listing of combined Penton Agriculture Media and Farm Progress brands below.
Penton is a privately held company owned by MidOcean Partners and U.S. Equity Partners II, an investment fund sponsored by Wasserstein & Co., LP. Learn more about the company at www.penton.com.
