This paper reviews fundamental concepts in environmental economics and explores theoretical results regarding the choice of the key policy instruments for the control of externalities: taxes, subsidies and marketable permits. The paper explains why today market mechanisms are increasingly being used as a tool for allocating unpriced rights and scarce resources. We survey how significant market imperfections, a pre-existing regulatory environment and concentration in both permit and output markets can impede the proper functioning of a permit system. The main factors that affect the effectiveness of marketable permits are then discussed. Given the importance of understanding the emission permit price formation, we overview recent attempts at developing valid price models for emission permits, taking into account banking and borrowing opportunities, pollution abatement measures, strategic trading interactions and the presence of asymmetric information in the permit market.

Critical Essay by Paul Christian Jones
SOURCE: Jones, Paul Christian. "A Re-Awakening: Anne Tyler's Postfeminist Edna Pontellier in Ladder of Years." Critique 44, no. 3 (spring 2003): 271-83.
In the following essay, Jones perceives Ladder of Years as a "postfeminist revision" of Kate Chopin's The Awakening.
Following the 1995 publication of Anne Tyler's Ladder of Years, familiar comments about the author's much-debated stance on feminist issues once again appeared in book reviews. For example, in the Yale Review, Lorrie Moore described the Baltimore of Tyler's novel as "a land and time unto itself, untouched by such things as feminism […] or politics of any kind" (141). Brooke Allen, in the New Criterion, lamented that Tyler's characters "seem eerily untouched by any of the revolutions, be they sexual or feminist, of the last forty years....

Is Your Food For Real?
What would you do if you learned that some of your favorite foods turned out to be counterfeit? It's a question that's made big news over the past two years, with Chinese food companies in particular being blamed for producing lethal changes to baby food, pet food and dairy products by tainting them with the chemical melamine.
The chemical gives the product the appearance of meeting the required level of protein.
But what about U.S.-based food producers? What, if any, counterfeit foods do we have to fear from American companies?
A USA Today report cites experts that said dangerous U.S.-produced foods are relatively few. However, the report said, producers have been known to practice something called "economic adulteration", in which small amounts of something cheap is substituted for something more expensive.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the food industry, but considering the large number of safety issues the agency has to deal with, economic adulteration has "really been back-burnered,", Bruce Silverglade of the non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest told USA Today.
So just what should consumers be on the watch for?
Fish is the most frequently counterfeited food Americans purchase. In particular, a practice known as "species adulteration", in which producers sell a lower-cost fish such as pen-raised Atlantic salmon as wild Alaska salmon instead.
A Consumer Reports investigation tested 23 wild-caught salmon fillets purchased throughout the country in 2005-2006, and found that only 10 were actually wild salmon. The remainder were farmed.
And a 2004 study by scientists at University of North Carolina found that 77% of fish labeled red snapper were actually something else. And a Chicago Sun-Times investigation last year tested fish at 17 sushi restaurants, and discovered that fish being sold as red snapper was actually mostly tilapia.
"It's really just fraud, plain and simple," Gavin Gibbons of the industry group National Fisheries Institute told USA Today.
However, scallops appear to be one thing consumers need not worry about. While rumors of skate wings cut into circles and sold as scallops abound, Randolph says the FDA has never found an actual case of it.
Salmon is trickier. But Randolph offered a tip: Farmed salmon gets its color from dyes added to food pellets the fish are fed, while wild salmon gets its color from the plankton they eat.
"When you cook it, the wild salmon retains its color, and in the aquaculture salmon, the color tends to leak out," she explained.
Consumers with questions can call the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Nutrition hotline at 1-888-SAFEFOOD.
Olive oil
Americans consumed about 575 million pounds of this luxury oil last year, according to the North American Olive Oil Association. Sixty-three percent was the higher-grade extra virgin, derived from the first pressing of the olives.
However, olive oil, heralded for its heart-healthy properties, is one of the most frequently counterfeited food products, says Martin Stutsman, the FDA's consumer safety officer for edible oils.
Although there is no national data on olive-oil fakery, Connecticut began testing it two years ago following multiple complaints.
"We were coming across a lot of products labeled as extra-virgin olive oil that contained up to 90% soybean oil," Jerry Farrell Jr., Connecticut's commissioner of consumer protection, told USA Today.
Most name brands were fine, Farrell said, but off-brands sold in discount retailers were a problem.
In fact, Connecticut was so concerned that in November, it became the first state in the country to establish olive oil standards, enabling officials to levy fines and remove adulterated products from store shelves.
California is looking to establish its own standards this year. Indeed, reports from testers indicate as much as 60% to 70% of the olive oil sold as extra virgin in the state is of lower-quality, Dan Flynn of the Olive Center at the University of California-Davis told USA Today.
The easiest thing is for counterfeiters to add 10% vegetable oil in extra virgin, Stutsman explained.
"It will still smell as it should, but you've saved 10% of the cost."
However, American Olive Oil Association president Bob Bauer says it's more of a problem in restaurants than in retail supermarkets.
Honey can be easily faked, since it is a natural product that consists mostly of sugar.
"If you can substitute a less expensive source of sugar for the expensive one, you can save some money and gain market share," said Stutsman.
In the past, cane sugar or high-fructose corn syrup was mostly used to thin out honey. However, that was chemically easy to identify using an isotope test that would easily spot the adulteration.
Counterfeiters have since adapted with the use of beet sugar, whose profile is similar to honey. As a result, the FDA switched to a more complex, multistep test.
"Once we started catching people, they create a moving target. They'll switch to something more difficult (to detect)," said Stutsman.
Maple syrup
Maple syrup is another high-value product that can be easily adulterated. Sellers can simply dilute the boiled-down sap of the sugar maple tree with water or sugar, attempting to "get more bang for the buck," says Kristin Haas, food safety director in the Vermont's Agency for Agriculture, Food and Markets.
The state is the USA's largest supplier to flapjacks.
So far, its testing program has found fraud only three times in the past 17 years, says Haas, but the state is taking the matter seriously.
"A couple of years back, there was a gentleman who actually went to prison because of this issue," she said.
Vermont may increase its testing programs during these tough economic times, when the incentive to cheat is greater, and the state may have to work harder to maintain its pure premier product.
Produced in the tropics, vanilla pods can be soaked in milk or stored in sugar to add a slight vanilla scent to foods. However, the pods are typically soaked in alcohol that is then used as a flavoring.
But a chemical copy known as vanillin was created in the laboratory during the 19th century. It is supposed to be labeled as an artificial flavor when used in foods, and usually is.
According to the FDA, One "too good to be true" product to watch out for is A VERY inexpensive vanilla extract sold in Mexico and Latin America. The product is made with the toxic substance coumarin, banned for use in U.S. foods since 1954. The substance is chemically related to the blood thinner warfarin and can be dangerous.

Research conducted during the first four years of marriage reveals the more neurotic couples have sex, the happier they are.
Thu, Dec 09, 2010 at 09:22 AM
Neuroticism can make relationships tough, but according to new research, the cure is between the sheets.
Neurotic newlyweds who have frequent sexual relations are just as satisfied with their marriages as their less neurotic counterparts, according to a study published in the October issue of the quarterly journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. The findings are important because neurotic people struggle with relationships and have higher rates of divorce than people who aren't neurotic.
"High levels of neuroticism are more strongly associated with bad marital outcomes than any other personality factor," study authors Michelle Russell and James McNulty of the University of Tennessee said in a statement.
Neuroticism is the tendency to experience negative emotion. People who are high in the trait get upset easily, change their mood often and worry frequently.
But sex in marriage seems to ease these neurotic effects. Russell and McNulty followed 72 newlywed couples during the first four years of their marriages. Every six months, both spouses separately and privately reported their marital satisfaction and sexual activity.
On average, couples reported having sex once a week for the first six months of marriage and about three times a month by the fourth year. The amount of sex a couple had wasn't tied to their marital satisfaction, the researchers found. Sometimes happy couples had lots of sex, and sometimes they had very little.
But neurotic couples were an exception. Spouses with high levels of neuroticism were happier in their marriages if they had more sex, the study found. In fact, frequent sex was enough to wipe away the "happiness deficit" that neurotic people start out with: Getting busy made them as satisfied in their marriages, on average, as non-neurotic newlyweds. [Naked Truth: Why Women Shrug Off Lousy Sex]
The findings highlight the need to consider the entire relationship context when studying personality traits, the researchers wrote.
"Frequent sex is one way that some neurotic people are able to maintain satisfying relationships," Russell and McNulty said.

Martinsburg, WV
Does NOT have a case for the main unit to slide into, so mounting in the window is a little trickier. Doesn't provide as tight a seal as the last couple of window units I purchased. However, it does make the room cold and it's not super loud. It works. I would look for a unit that sits inside a case, even if it's a bit more expensive.
Westbrook, ME
Our bedroom is 450sq ft and this unit can totally hand it. We couldn't been happier with the purchase.
Inver Grove Heights, MN
I have brought two wall unit A/C (kenmore) from Sears and the last purchase was about a year ago. Now both units given me problems every year after the winter season. For some reason the motor just doesn't spin or make any sounds at all. I had one of them fixed and it costed me $200 to get the motor to work last winter, now both of my wall unit A/C are sharing the same problem. If you were to look at buying a window or a wall unit a/c I personally don't recommend this brand at all.
Gwynn Oak, MD
have a smaller air unit and works great so I needed a larger one to cool several rooms and is pretty quiet.This unit works great and was on sale.

San Antonio, TX
The quality of this air condition is wonderful. It cools just the way I expected it to be. It was easy to install and it is not noisy at all.
Harrison, AR
Works great, but the thermostat must be set 10 degrees colder than you want the room temperature .Instead of degrees it should have numbers and you set the number to put it at your comfort zone.
Great Falls, MT
It was easy to install and cools very well from a small sized unit.
Just for our relatively small living room and the fan is stronger than its predecessor's. Cools quickly and well. Love the energy saver, fan speeds, and remote control!
New York, NY
This air conditioner is really terrific! I especially like the remote control and the preprogrammed settings.
Watertown, WI
I think we purchase the 8000 btu room air conditioner, and is it perfect for our home, cools the hall, kitchen, living area, immediately. Good product, glad we got it just in time.
The air conditioner is working beautifully!
Virginia Beach, VA
We bought this unit when our AC compressor died and we knew it would take a couple of weeks to have it repaired (waiting on home owner's warranty). We placed it in our daughter's room. It was strong enough to blow cool air into the hallway and with a box fan we were able to blow that cool air into our family room. It has been a life saver for us because it ending up taking almost a month for the repair. Easy installation. It is good to know that we have this from now on whenever an emergency may occur.
Beaverton, OR
We purchased for our small duplex planning on placing in the kitchen window which is very very small I sit in direct line from it across the living room and can feel it but it does not completely cool the room
Webster, MA
This air conditioner works great in cooling off three larger rooms.
Warsaw, NY
Keeps me house very cool and comfortable!
This is a very quiet a/c. It keeps a nice steady temp all night long without the stops and starts that wake me up with other air conditioners. I would buy it again for the quiet factor alone, but it also keeps a nice steady cool temp. Highly recommend!
Meadville, PA
little bit loud but passable
Havre de Grace, MD
Great features- reminder to clean filter, easy to set timer, energy saver mode (admittedly the on and off nature of this featre can get annoying, but works great if youre not watching tv or something like that). Installed this in the spring 3 years ago, and after that time and removals and re installations, it is still as quiet and as cool as the day we bought it. When it came time to replace the unit in our bedroom, I didn't hesitate to go purchase the 8k BTU model of the same unit. Little issues are the reason I didnt give 5 stars. Controlls are extrememly hard to read, especially the remote, and after 3 years I still havent memorized the button locations. The remote is also tiny, about half the size of a smartphone, it is constantly getting lost for days at a time. There are two tiny metal clamps that hold the accordian panels on the side in place- they are not attached to the panels in any way, and got lost over the last winter- I managed to fabricate something that serves the same purpose.
Bronx, NY
although Sears took 3 days to notify me that 'in stock' item was ready for pickup, the air conditioner was well worth the wait..... so quiet I can't tell its on.... cools room quickly.... well worth the money

Sellersville, PA
Prior to buying this air conditioner, we bought two Frigidaire from *****. Both of those hummed and whistled and made loud noises. So after putting them in our windows and having to then take them out and return those...we decided to go to Sears. Though this air conditioner looks exactly like the ones that didn't work...it works beautifully. I recommend this air conditioner. We also went back and bought a second one and that worked too...very pleased. If you are placing this in a bedroom, then I recommend this air conditioner...naturally you can hear it, but it is like "white noise" and won't disturb your sleep.

Evolving Your Organization with Software Defined Networking
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an exciting evolution in IT. Today, connections throughout a network are made by directly connecting to routers to control them. This is a process that can be time-consuming and prone to error, depending upon the size of the network being managed. Furthermore, the effort involved in making changes across large networks can slow the pace of innovation within an organization.
SDN moves control to the application layer. This provides numerous benefits to IT:
- Unified point of automation and management
- Consistent deployment of policies throughout the network
- Improved operational efficiency
- Rapid deployment of new features like security and QoS
- Simplified network management overall
Many people think SDN is the future of data center networking. Cloud provider OneNeck, for example, is investing in developing the expertise to lead the market in transitioning its customers to SDN. In their blog, Leading the Market with Software Defined Networking (SDN), OneNeck describes how they are working with Cisco to bring SDN to market.
OneNeck's SDN lab, for example, is a great example of how our partners add value to Cisco technology. SDN introduces a whole new management framework for networking. By working with real-world SDN applications in their lab, OneNeck is developing the skill sets and expertise required to enables its customers to evolve with confidence.
Learn more about Cisco's SDN solutions, including the Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches, Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and Cisco Intercloud Fabric.

Announcing Cisco Nexus 1000V for VMware vSphere 6 Release
The Cisco Nexus 1000V has been supported in VMware vSphere hypervisor since 4.0 release (August 2009) up to the current vSphere release 5.5 update 2. We are happy to announce that the Nexus 1000V will continue to be supported in the latest vSphere 6 release which VMware recently announced. Customers who are currently running Nexus 1000V will be able to upgrade to the vSphere 6 release and the new vSphere 6 customers will have the Nexus 1000V as part of their choices for virtual networking.
Cisco is fully committed to support the Nexus 1000V product for our 10,000+ Advanced Edition customers and the thousands more using the Essential Edition software in all future releases of VMware vSphere. Cisco has a significant virtual switching R&D investment with hundreds of engineers dedicated to the Nexus 1000V platform. The Nexus 1000V has been the industry's leading virtual switching platform with innovations on VXLAN (industry's first shipping VXLAN platform), and distributed zone firewall (via Virtual Security Gateway released in Jan 2011).
The Nexus 1000V also continues to be the industry's only multi-hypervisor virtual switching solution that delivers enterprise class functionality and features across vSphere, Hyper-V and KVM.
In the last major release of the Nexus 1000V for vSphere, version 3.1 (August 2014) we added significant scaling and security features and we continue to provide subsequent updates (December 2014) with the next release planned for March 2015. The recently released capabilities include:
- Increased scale per Nexus 1000V:
- 250 hosts
- 10,000 virtual ports
- 1,000 virtual ports per host
- 6,000 VXLAN segments with ability to scale out via BGP
- Increased security and visibility
- Seamless security policy from campus and WAN to datacenter with Cisco TrustSec tagging/enforcement capabilities
- Distributed port-security for scalable anti-spoofing deployment
- Enhanced L2 security and loop prevention with BPDU Guard
- Protection against broadcast storms and or attacks with Storm control
- Scalable flow accounting and statistics with Distributed Netflow
- Ease of management via Virtual Switch Update Manager (VSUM) – a vSphere web-client plug-in
One of the common questions coming from our customers is whether VMware is still re-selling and supporting the Nexus 1000V via VMware support?
VMware has decided to no longer offer Nexus 1000V through VMware sales or sell support for the Nexus 1000V through the VMware support organization as of Feb 2nd 2015. We want to reiterate that this has NO IMPACT on the availability and associated support from Cisco for the Nexus 1000V running in a vSphere environment. Cisco will continue to sell Nexus 1000V and offer support contracts. Cisco encourages customers who are currently using VMware support for the Nexus 1000V to migrate their support contracts to Cisco by contacting their local Cisco Sales team to aide in this transition.
For questions or help, please reach out email@example.com

Automation is Unavoidable – But Painful Shift Isn't
Private cloud – you hear it everywhere. Industry analysts tell us that private cloud has become a core data center strategy well on its way to becoming a core element in the formal IT portfolio.
Forrester research indicates that CIOs and IT departments are strongly drawn to private cloud as the on-ramp for their cloud journey. What's behind this interest and drive to shift?
Partially it is driven by the need to leverage existing data center infrastructure better. But THE market driver responsible for the lion's share of adoption is the need to accelerate application delivery. We are talking about building applications faster and deploying them to the environment that has the right amount of elasticity, services and economics.
Yet for all the strategizing and trial steps, only a small number of enterprise companies have deployed a true private cloud. Why? Without the right tools and methods, it is painful and chaotic. Read More »

Kyle Orton says he had opportunities to compete for the starting quarterback job with a few NFL teams but chose the Cowboys because they were the best fit. Orton, who has started 69 games during his seven-year career, said he's at a point where he prefers to play behind Tony Romo while getting "a chance to be in the playoffs." "It just fit for what I was looking for," Orton said Tuesday while appearing on New School with Shan & RJ on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. "I had an idea of what I wanted to do kind of going into free agency and you don't get too many chances to hook up with an organization like the Cowboys. From everybody that I had talked to throughout the whole process they just had rave reviews of the organization. "Talking to a guy like Jon Kitna, he just had great things to say about working with Tony, and I'm just excited for it." Orton added: "I've been in a couple situations where I compete with this guy, compete with that guy and long term it never works out for a...

Casey signs one year deal for $700K
Casey signs one year deal for $700K
Pretty sure they are going to regret that.
Not much to regret at 700K. People like to bash Casey around here cause of the double plays he had but, for that price he wouldn't be a bad bat comming off the bench.
"I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road." Stephen Hawking
Why would they regret it? Even if Casey is a backup, he's a good guy to have in the clubhouse. I think its a good move.
I love it! I like seeing Sean have a job as long as its not with the Reds.
Meanwhile we have Scott Hatteberg making $1.85M to do the same thing.
Yeah, they'll regret it allright.
Also, reports that Morgan Ensberg signed with the Yankees.
This is how Big Boy Baseball is played.
We have Juan Castro on our bench.
I think that in a year or two, one of these guys - Frazier, Dorn, Valaika, Cumberland, Stubbs - will be ready to replace Dunn. They won't hit as many home runs as Dunn, but they should have similar OPS. - 757690, July 22, 2008
Alonso will be playing 1B for the REDS and batting 4th one year from today. - Kingspoint, July 9, 2009
Good for Sean to find a job with a contending club. I'd love to see him finally get a ring!
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.
I wonder if Bleeds purposely only cherry picks the post he reads or if its just an accident.
Glad to hear Casey signed with a team that are already contenders. I think he'll be a nice bat off the bench for the Sox. He is a good contact hitter and doesn't strikeout much. It's clear he's not starter material anymore, but I think with his skills he could extend his career for a few more years in this type of role.
I hate the idea of rooting for the Red Sox, but I'd love to see Sean get a ring.
I wonder if he had other offers but chose one from a contender? I know he's slow and has little pop, but given the contracts out there it seems like he could have gotten more money.
He pretty much performed to his historical norms in 2007 and went from $4M to $700k.
Good for Sean. Great guy to a great baseball town.
I thought, just because of his veteran status, he would make more than that. The Red Sox got a steal. His clubhouse presence is worth more than that by itself.
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.

Dolen Perkins-Valdez's second novel, Balm, follows a group of refugees who meet in the bustling, reeking and bewildering city of Chicago.
In Sarah McCoy's new book, two protagonists tell the little-known history of Sarah Brown, daughter of John Brown, the staunch abolitionist who was executed for the attack he led on Harper's Ferry.
Teddy Todd, who first appeared in Kate Atkinson's thrilling Life After Life (2013), served as a British pilot in World War II. As a young man in the throes of a brutal war, he "didn't expect to see the alchemy of spring, to see the dull brown earth change to bright green and then pale gold."
Of the estimated six million Jews extinguished during the Holocaust, perhaps one-fourth were children. To make this figure somewhat conceivable, imagine if every one of them had, like Anne Frank, left behind a diary—or if that many novelists reconstructed in fiction the horrors these innocents had to face. Something like this imperative motivates National Book Award finalist Jim Shepard's seventh novel, The Book of Aron,, a loosely historical account of the children of the Warsaw ghetto.
Readers met the Langdon family in Some Luck, the first novel in Jane Smiley's trilogy about an American family and an Iowa farm. A straightforward, almost old-fashioned novel, it opened in 1920 and covered the following 33 years—one year per chapter—in the lives of Walter and Rosanna Langdon and their six children with tenderness and surprisingly subtle humor. Now, in the more ominously titled Early Warning, Smiley casts an even wider net, as the Langdon children, now grown to adulthood and with children of their own, navigate the immense social changes of the 1960s and '70s.
It's late in the 19th century, and literary works are often plundered by so-called "bookaneers." These literary pirates swoop in, abscond with a manuscript and sell it to the highest bidder. The stories should be property of the reader, not the writer, the bookaneers argue. And they'll stop at nothing to ensure it.
Fans of authors like Sarah Waters and Michel Faber will thrill to Anna Freeman's debut, The Fair Fight, an exciting historical novel set in the little-known world of women's bare-knuckle boxing.
Set in upstate New York just after the Civil War, Jeffrey Lent's latest book is a bit puzzling. To be blunt, it ends just when things are getting really interesting. It's not that things haven't been interesting from the beginning: By page three we've been witness to a double murder. The murderer's name is Malcolm Hopeton, and he's returned from the war only to find that half of his farm has been sold out from under him and his wife is canoodling with his hired man—the type who, in the old days, would have been called a cur. In his fury, Malcolm even injures his hired boy, Harlan Davis, who has witnessed the whole tawdry mess. As for Malcolm, he resigns himself to the gallows. But will he hang, after all?
Historical novels that use real people, eras and achievements as a springboard can sometimes become overworked lessons of the history on which they're treading. Other times, they can be inspired, original works that remind us of both the importance of history and the timeless concerns of our own humanity. Thankfully, The Architect's Apprentice is the latter.
A search for an elusive sea monster at the height of World War II sounds like the plot of a genre-mashup movie. But in At the Water's Edge, the latest novel from Water for Elephants author Sara Gruen, what starts out as a lark on the part of rich, entitled friends turns into a quest that is at times frightening, liberating and even comical.

A commitment to education and vocation
COLUMBIA, Missouri—For six years, Rene Tacastacas juggled his time as a student and as a priest in the United States.
He read the Bible and his university books and, besides celebrating Holy Mass and ministering to the faithful, he was participating in class discourse or conducting research for his dissertation.
"The experience was very enriching," Fr. Tacastacas said of the time he was pursuing a doctorate degree in rural sociology and at the same time organizing, in remote Missouri villages, Catholic communities where he became well-loved.
His devotion to his studies and his vocation has brought blessings. In May, he received the Outstanding Graduate Student Service Award upon his graduation from the University of Missouri-Columbia. The annual award is given to a graduate student who brings the ideals of the academic community to the world outside the classroom.
Further studies
Tacastacas was parish priest of the remote town of Titay in Zamboanga Sibugay. After naming him vocation director, his Jesuit superiors sent him to the US in 2005, in the belief that he could contribute more to the Jesuits' commitment to education and research if he pursued further studies.
"I needed… the know-how…to pursue rural development, especially involving work with small farmers in the countryside," agreed Father Rene who, by that time, already had a master's degree in sociology (1996) on top of a management engineering degree (1986) from the Ateneo.
When he flew to Missouri in August 2005, Tacastacas' mission was clear: study hard so he could help in the Jesuits' mission to assist Filipino farmers. Tacastacas specialized in food and agriculture.
In his first few weeks in the US, he spent his time celebrating private Masses or attending those celebrated by other priests. But there was something missing.
"It made me feel empty and lonely at times," he recalled. So Father Rene talked to the vicar-general of the Archdiocese of Jefferson City and volunteered to substitute for any priest who was not available.
Soon, he was being sent to remote villages in Missouri, and he found his purest joys as a priest and as a student in the far-flung communities.
Tacastacas would drive out of Columbia on weekends, the trip sometimes taking several hours. It was exhausting but also fulfilling for him to visit American farms, as he had long been interested in agriculture.
First-hand experience
At the farms, he played around with the machinery and gained first-hand experience in American farming that helped him put into shape his doctoral research's focus on small vegetable farming.
The dissertation sought a model to link small-time vegetable growers in Bukidnon with big fast-food chains. Tacastacas hoped the link would provide farmers sustainable livelihood.
"Getting to know the farmer-parishioners allowed me to view my studies as primarily directed towards helping small farmers back home," he said.
"There was no disconnect between my priesthood and my being a student," said the Jesuit, who said Mass for parishioners in small towns, some with populations of less than a thousand.
His graduate courses mostly involved class discussions. The priest made sure he read assigned materials before class. He also joined his classmates in group study sessions.
"Studying away from your home country is never easy and simple," Tacastacas said, as he had to adjust to a different culture and also had to endure homesickness. He turned to the Filipino community in mid-Missouri for "support during my studies, for companionship and for plentiful Filipino foods at parties and gatherings."
Father Rene celebrated Mass for the growing community of Filipinos in Columbia composed mostly of doctors and nurses. Columbia has some of America's top-ranked hospitals. The University of Missouri-Columbia also operates its own hospital.
Filipino parishioners enjoyed his homilies which, aside from reflections, were filled with humor. One of his jokes was about how, when he first arrived in the US, he ate doughnuts that were really hard. He found out later that these were bagels.
His last parish before graduation was at Brunswick, a small town about 90 minutes away from Columbia, where he stayed for about six months. His enthusiasm not only encouraged more parishioners to attend Mass but also revived moribund community organizations.
To show their gratitude, the parishioners contributed funds to support his ministry with small farmers in the Philippines.

The cast of the upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been revealed but RadarOnline.com is giving you an exclusive look at two other soon-to-be familiar faces sure to make waves. One even dated an 'NSYNC member!
PHOTOS: Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Filming
The supporting cast to Housewives Taylor Armstrong, Kim Richards, Lisa VanderPump-Todd, Kyle Richards, Camille Donatacci Grammer, and Adrienne Maloof-Nassif are two (fabulous) gay men: Cedric Martinez, 35, an international model/actor and friend of Lisa's, and Dwight Coates, 34, a successful management consulting executive and real-estate investor who co-owns a consulting firm with Taylor.
PHOTOS: Gretchen Rossi Strikes A Pose In A Frilly Pink Bikini
"Cedric usually appears in little to nothing on the show no matter the venue," a friend of both men told RadarOnline.com. The Bravo show isn't Cedric's first step into the limelight: he has been linked to various celebrities including Lance Bass!
The friend added: "He is no stranger to the Los Angeles celebrity clientele and knows private jets better than the commercial fare."
PHOTOS: Gretchen Rossi Goes Bowling In Lingerie
Cedric and Lisa' relationship is so cozy that they are neighbors. "Cedric resides in the 3,500 sq guest house behind Lisa's $32 million dollar mansion in the exclusive Beverly Park community."
On the flipside, the other new face to primetime reality television is Dwight. "Dwight and Taylor are life-long friends and run in a very elite group of people across the globe," the source revealed. "Whereas Cedric entertains, Dwight is more subdued.'" But that doesn't mean Dwight isn't going to make for some must-watch television!
"Dwight doesn't hold back when it comes to giving advice on the show and apparently says some pointed comments," the source added. "Comments most people would think but not actually say."
PHOTOS: Kelly Bensimon's Rock Hard Bikini Body
Despite his thriving business with Taylor, Dwight also has entertainment ties thanks to an acting background. He currently lives in a $5,500 a month luxury apartment and like Cedric, has a string of high-profile exes including realtor to the stars Jeffrey Hobgood.
Even the two men's workout styles are top-class (goodbye to Jersey Shore's measly 'GTL' routine): both work out at pricey Equinox gym and are known to indulge in its special privleges. "Cedric parks his tricked out Jeep Wrangler on the curb and throws the keys to the valet while Dwight parks his Range Rover in the VIP-marked parking spaces."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premieres on October 14 on Bravo at 10/9c.

Gulf Coast High leads county on most recent AP test scores; mean scores up county-wide
COLLIER COUNTY - Gulf Coast High School had the highest average scores on the most recent Advanced Placement tests, and Barron Collier High School had the most students take the tests, according to results released Wednesday by Collier County Public Schools.
From 2010 to 2011, the mean score for Collier schools increased from 2.35 to 2.41. However, over the last decade the mean score has steadily decreased as the number of students taking the test has increased.
In 1998 the mean score was 3.27, according to district records.
Beth Thompson, chief instructional officer for the county, said it is common for scores to decrease as more students take the AP exams.
"If we're not just taking the tip-top of the class like we did early on, and we're now expanding to a broader population of students, then you would expect that there could be a possible decrease in the mean score," she said.
An additional 40 students county-wide took the exams this year compared to last year. In all, 2,659 Collier students took the exams, and participation rates in all racial and ethnic groups increased. Compared to last year, 52 more students scored a 5, the highest score on the AP exams.
Thompson said overall the district is content with the results.
"We offer various rigorous learning opportunities and I am pleased that the percentage of students scoring a 3 or higher is going up and that the number of exams with a 3 or higher is increasing," she said.
The county said AP exams give students an opportunity to study a subject in greater depth, complete college level courses and gain college-level credits while still in school. Colleges and universities use AP results as evidence of students' abilities and achievement when deciding whether to grant credit or advanced placement.
More than 1,400 colleges and universities in the U.S. grant a full year's credit to students who present satisfactory scores, a 3 or higher, on the exams. A 5 is the highest score; a 1 is the lowest.
Immokalee High School had an average score of 1.56 on the exams, the lowest of all Collier schools. Everglades City School's information was not included in the results because only two students took two AP exams at the school.
"Improvements have to be made teacher by teacher and school by school," Thompson said. "We will be targeting specific courses and teachers where results indicate we need additional instruction."
Thompson said the county does not encourage more students to specifically enroll in AP classes. Instead, students are encouraged to participate in any rigorous courses, whether that be dual enrollment in college classes, classes for earning industry certifications, or AP classes.

Locating and distributing the account balances of missing or unresponsive participants invokes ERISA's fiduciary duty rules. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) had previously issued guidance outlining the expectations and requirements for fiduciaries in such instances but recently updated its guidance as a result of the IRS and Social Security Administration both eliminating their respective letter forwarding services. Given the abundance of low cost and free search methods available to fiduciaries, the DOL expects a fiduciary to always utilize such low cost alternatives before abandoning efforts to find a missing participant, regardless of the size of the participant's account balance. At a minimum, fiduciaries should take all of the following steps before abandoning efforts to find a missing participant: (i) use certified mail; (ii) check related plan records (e.g., an employer's group health plan); (iii) contact the participant's designated beneficiary (e.g., spouse, children, etc.) to find updated contact information; and (iv) use free electronic search tools such as search engines, public records, obituaries, and social media. If the above steps do not work, the plan fiduciary should consider additional search tools such as locator services and credit reporting agencies, before giving up the search. Because plan fiduciaries may allocate the fees associated with the search to the missing participant's account, the size of the missing participant's account balance and costs of the search must be considered. The DOL advises that if a plan is unable to locate a participant, the plan fiduciary may distribute the account balance to an IRA it establishes (the preferred option) or to an interest-bearing bank account. However, under no circumstances should a plan use 100% income tax withholding as a means to deal with benefits. Because plan document provisions or policies pertaining to locating missing participants may reflect outdated DOL guidance, plan fiduciaries should consider amending their plan documents and policies.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Tips for Exercising Safely When You Have Diabetes
Topic Overview
You can safely exercise when you have diabetes. Here are some tips.
Before starting an exercise program
- Talk to your doctor about how and when to exercise. You may need to have a medical exam and tests (such as a treadmill test) before you begin. Also, some types of exercise can be harmful if you have complications from diabetes. Your doctor can tell you whether you need to avoid certain kinds of exercise.
- Choose a type of exercise that you like and that fits easily into your daily schedule. If you choose something you like, you will be more willing to continue the program. Try to include exercises that will work your heart and lungs and give you healthy muscles.
- Plan to exercise at about the same time and for the same length of time each day to help keep your blood sugar levels in the same range. If you want to increase your exercise, increase the intensity or the duration in small amounts.
- Have someone with you when you exercise, if possible. You may need help if your blood sugar level drops below a target range. And having a buddy can motivate you to keep going.
Starting a program
Start slowly so that you don't overdo it. Build up your exercise program bit by bit, and aim for at least 2½ hours a week of moderate activity. Or try to do vigorous activity for at least 1¼ hours a week.1 It's fine to be active in blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and week.
If you take insulin or other medicine for diabetes:
- Exercise changes the amount of glucose in your body. During vigorous exercise, the liver releases more stored glucose into the bloodstream. This raises blood sugar. When blood sugar is too high, it can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis. This can happen when you are very dehydrated. If you have Type 1 diabetes, make sure that your blood sugar is not too high before you begin to exercise:
- If your blood sugar is high (for example, over 300 mg/dL) and you have ketones, do not exercise.
- If your blood sugar is high (for example, over 300 mg/dL) and you do not have ketones, exercise with caution.
- Watch for signs of low blood sugar.
- Avoid exercise when your blood sugar is too low (less than 70 mg/dL).
- If your blood sugar is less than 100 mg/dL before you start exercising, eat a carbohydrate snack. This applies only to people who take insulin or medicine that lowers blood sugar. If your diabetes is controlled by diet and/or medicine that does not lower your blood sugar, you will not need to take a snack before exercising.
- Have some type of quick-sugar food with you when you exercise. You may have symptoms of low blood sugar while you exercise or up to 24 hours after you stop.
- Check with your doctor if you have been gradually increasing your exercise and have felt the symptoms of low blood sugar more than 2 or 3 times in one week. Your dose of medicine or insulin may need to be changed.

Amalia Fuentes, son face slew of raps over confrontation with tenants
More News from Julie M. Aurelio
MANILA, Philippines — Former actress Amalia Fuentes and her son are facing a slew of complaints following a heated confrontation with two of their tenants last week in Quezon City.
Peter and Rosemarie Licup, of 4th St., Rolling Hills Subdivision, New Manila, lodged frustrated homicide, grave threats, grave coercion, oral defamation and unjust vexation raps against Fuentes and her son Gerard Stevens.
The Licups filed a joint complaint before the Quezon City prosecutors office late Friday afternoon.
In their affidavit, the couple claimed the incident happened in the afternoon of July 4 when Fuentes and Steven, with some policemen, went to the house the Licups were renting.
The complainants said they were renting the house at P25,000 for the past one and a half years.
At the time of the incident, the couple had just arrived home and saw Stevens standing outside the house with a pitbull.
The couple alighted from their vehicle so that they could talk to him but Fuentes' son allegedly began shouting at them.
This prompted Peter to approach the actress and ask her to talk calmly if there was any problem.
Instead, Fuentes allegedly shouted invectives against the couple, while Stevens allegedly ordered his dog to "attack" the couple. Stevens also allegedly branded the couple as thieves.
Peter said he kept on asking the respondents what the matter was, claiming that Fuentes punched him in the face.
The complainant added that Stevens assaulted him, causing him to fall down as the respondents allegedly kicked and punched him.
Peter added that the police officers pulled him away from mother and son.
After the incident, the complainant went to the Ospital ng Maynila to have his injuries treated.
"The respondents, with obvious intent, confederated to inflict bodily harm against me until I would have been killed and would have succeeded in doing so as consequence of the mauling but nevertheless did not produce it by reason of them being separated from us by other persons, which is independent of the respondents' will," part of the affidavit read.
They added that being branded as thieves had injured their reputation as citizens in good standing and social standing as people engaged in business.
Meanwhile, a sergeant was arrested after he allegedly pointed his gun at Fuentes on Sunday afternoon.
Superintendent Norberto Babagay, Galas police station commander, identified the soldier as Staff Sergeant Sesinando Tee Jr., 39, who claimed to be a member of the Military Intelligence Group.
Tee, the brother of Rosemarie Licup, underwent inquest proceedings at the Quezon City prosecutor's office on Monday morning for charges of grave threats.
The sergeant was nabbed following the altercation that happened around 5 p.m. Sunday at the house the Licups have been renting from Fuentes.
Babagay said the arresting police officers seized from Tee his service firearm, a .45-caliber Norinco.
Case investigator Senior Police Officer 1 Jigson Maddatu learned from Fuentes that she was at the St. Luke's Medical Center that Sunday afternoon when she received a text message from her male househelp.
The houseboy claimed that the Licups were vacating the house and allegedly loading their belongings into a container van without Fuentes' consent.
Fuentes then went to the Licups' house as the couple allegedly owed her money.
The actress arrived in a Mitsubishi Pajero and parked parallel to Tee's Hyundai Starex van.
The sergeant, upon seeing Fuentes, allegedly lowered the glass window of the Starex and showed his gun.
The actress fortunately had called for police help prior to her arrival, leading to Tee's apprehension.

There was a couple of firsts in Indian wrestling last year. Two grapplers, Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt, bagged medals in the same Olympics. A month later, two women, Babita Kumari and Geeta Phogat, had podium finishes in the World championship.
This year too, the Indian wrestlers have achieved unprecedented success at the highest level. Two freestyle grapplers, Amit Kumar (silver in 55kg) and Bajrang (bronze in 60kg), gathered medals, while Sandeep Tulsi Yadav (66kg) became the first-ever wrestler from the country to claim a Greco Roman medal (bronze) in the World championship in Budapest.
Such success augurs well for Indian wrestling and has raised hopes of a brighter future for the sport.
Except for the seven medals in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, Greco Roman wrestlers have not achieved much and Sandeep's medal was a huge motivation for the practitioners of the style.
Promoting Greco Roman
Coach Hargobind Singh said the process of promoting Greco Roman wrestlers had started and was expected to give results in the next few years. "We knew Sandeep was capable. He is strong, technically sound and has got fast movements. There are some other promising wrestlers, such as Gaurav Sharma (55kg), Harpreet Singh (84kg) and Hardeep (96kg), who can return good results at the top level.
"There is an effort to introduce Greco Roman in the School Games and at the university level. The federation is looking for a foreign coach who can groom the juniors."
As far as freestyle is concerned, Amit had established himself with his Olympic appearance and medals at Asian championships. The rise of Bajrang, a sparring partner of Yogeshwar, was fascinating. In Yogeshwar's absence, he got the chance and grabbed it with both hands to land medals in the Asian and World championships.
"Bajrang has really come out of Yogeshwar's shadow. There are some other up-and-coming wrestlers like Asian champion Amit Dhankhar and World junior medallist Satyawart Kadian who have the talent to strike it big," said freestyle coach Vinod Kumar.
Vinod said the training-cum-exposure camps before the Olympics and Worlds had really helped the Indian grapplers. In Europe, you find tough competition. You get good partners and a good environment to improve your skills. Holding camp there prior to a big event has its benefits."
Yashvir Singh, the FILA coach of the year in 2010, said proper planning with a target in mind was crucial.
"Now, we should be planning for 2016 and 2020 Olympics. For that, we have to give exposure to the rising wrestlers. One should ensure that everyone gets to participate in two or three quality events in a calendar year. Training-cum-competition camps are also essential. These allow the wrestlers to come in contact with quality competitors from around the world and hone their skills. The coaches also learn and grow," said Yashvir.

Using secured credit cards is one of the best ways available to build

How secured cards actually work
Opening minimum deposits can range from $100 to $1,000 depending on the bank, and many will offer the option that you may increase your credit line by increasing your deposit after you open the account. Even better, with some secured card offers, the bank will periodically review your payment history (usually every three-to-six months), and will reward you by increasing or raising your credit line if you've been handling the account responsibly. If this happens, it's a great sign you're credit is improving overall. This kind of good credit-building will usually result in "preapproved" credit card offers showing up in your mailbox.

The most common mistake made with secured credit cards
What surprises many consumers who are using secured cards to build credit, is that making only minimum payments when the card has been maxed out... even on time, month after month, doesn't help their credit. In fact, using a card this way actually hurts your credit further!
