RECIEPT OF YOUR APPLICATION / INTERVIEW MEETINGS. You will receive notification of the receipt of your grant application packet along with an invitation to attend an OPTIONAL interview meeting with Lowell Cultural Council members. At this interview, the Council will ask questions about your application -- you will NOT be asked to make a presentation. Though attendance at the interview is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that you or someone involved with your grant accept the invitation and answer any questions the Council might have on the project. The interviews are strictly question & answer sessions -- again, no presentations will be heard.
Each interview meeting is assigned on a first come, first served basis starting at 6PM. Once you arrive at the meeting place, you may sign up for a specific time slot between 6PM and 8PM. Each meeting will only take about 5 minutes -- once your meeting is finished, you may leave the room OR stay and listen to any or all of the following meetings. All interview meetings are open to the public! Interview meetings take place in November -- dates will be announced shortly.
PUBLIC LOWELL CULTURAL COUNCIL GRANT DELIBRATIONS. After the interview meetings, the Council will hold a public meeting to discuss applications and vote on those applications that will receive funding. The Council will determine the amount of funding each successful grant will receive.
There are FIVE major areas considered by Council members in evaluating each grant application: 1) quality of project, 2) community benefit, 3) budget and funding, 4) planning, and 5) leadership.
The criteria used to evaluate these areas include:
1. Quality of Project: Is it creative? Does it have a specific focus and is that focus well defined? Is it engaging? Is it collaborative? Will the project enhance the cultural life of the city?
2. Community Benefit: How well does the project serve the residents of Lowell? How wide an audience is served? Does the project reflect priorities developed from the community input meeting? Is the target audience an underserved population?
3. Budget and Funding Support: Does the budget balance? Does the budget follow guidelines? Is the budget appropriate and clear? Are there other sources of funding or is LCC the sole source of funding? Is the project budget specific? Has this project been funded previously by LCC? Should this project be part of the city budget?
4. Planning: Are there well defined goals / targets? Is this a single event or an on-going project? If an on-going project is there a culminating event, activity or product that can act as a benchmark for evaluation? Is it clear that project planning has already taken place? Is the public program portion of this project accessible to individuals with disabilities?
5. Leadership: Does the leadership / staff have experience? Do personnel qualifications match the project needs? Is there evidence of past success in executing a similar project?
PROCESSING YOUR GRANT REIMBURSEMENT. Please note that LCC grants are reimbursement-based. All grant applicants must submit TWO REIMBURSEMENT PACKETS to the Council containing the Reimbursement Request Form and documentation that the project occurred (invoices, receipts, cancelled checks, program books).
Please Note: NO THIRD PARTY VENDORS shall be reimbursed directly by the Council. Third party vendors should be paid directly by the applicant.
Once the Reimbursement Packet is received, it is reviewed, and then forwarded to the City for processing and payment. Please note that it can take up to SIXTY (60) days to process a reimbursement -- please plan accordingly!
Reimbursement packets may be hand delivered or sent to:
Lowell Cultural Council
c/o COOL
50 Arcand Drive, 2nd Floor
Lowell, MA 01852
MASS CULTURAL COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT GUIDELINES. Proof of credit acknowledgement MUST be included in all published materials, announcements, and websites that promote your grant funded project.

For anyone who thought that the Providence College Friars were a one-man team: Think again. With floor leader Bryce Cotton, the Friars' First Team All-Big East selection, playing what could arguably his worst game of the season (12 points, four assists; just one point at halftime), sophomore Josh Fortune came up huge to lead fourth-seeded Providence over No. 5 seed St. John's, 79-74, in a Big East Tournament quarterfinal match-up before 14,925 fans at Madison Square Garden on Thursday. The entire Big East Tournament is being televised nationally on Fox Sports 1.
It was, in fact, an improbable victory for the Friars.
Providence led by three at halftime. What was disconcerting, however, was the fact that Cotton, the Friars' floor general who led the team throughout the season in points and assists, went into the locker room at intermission with just one point after going 0-for-5 from the field.
The Tuscon, Ariz. native, who made 85 percent of his foul shots during the season, was just 1-for-4 from the charity stripe. The Friars desperately needed someone to pick up the slack, and on this afternoon, that person was Fortune. The 6-5 sophomore guard from Hampton, Va., led all scorers with 24 points on 8-for-13 shooting from the field—including 4-for-7 from beyond the arc—and 4-for-5 from the foul line.
Cotton, meanwhile ended the game with 12 points, 9.4 below his team-leading average. What's more, 10 of the All-Big East guard's points came from the charity stripe. He was just 1-for-10 from the floor. After picking up his fourth foul early in the second half, Cotton sat on the pines for a good portion of the second stanza. He routinely puts in 40-minute games for the Friars.
Now that's a bad hair day.
After leading by just three at halftime, the Friars opened up a lead in the second half that topped out at 17 points with 6:24 left in regulation.
And that's when everything started to break bad for Providence.
Led by Orlando Sanchez and JaKarr Sampson, and throwing a frantic, Pitino-esque full-court press on the Friars, the Red Storm cut the lead to just one point, 59-68, with just over a minute remaining.
Time for a deep breath on the Providence bench.
They're a physical team," said Carson Desrosiers, the 7-foot transfer from Wake Forest who put up an eight-point,10-rebound stat line in 24 minutes played. "They've got a lot of size, a lot of athleticism. I think we did a pretty good job on the boards today. I think that 's one of the reasons we won the game."
Actually, the Friars did win the battle of the boards, but only by a 49-44 margin. But Desrosiers did come up with the defensive play of the day when he blocked a shot by JaKarr Sampson in the paint that would have given the Red Storm a 70-69 lead with 53 seconds remaining in regulation.
It's the type of play that doesn't show up in the box score, but that every team needs to be a winner.
And that's exactly what the Friars are, so far.
"That was a tournament game." said Providence head coach Ed Cooley after picking up the first Big East postseason tournament win of his career.
Most experts believe that as a 4-5 game in an eight-team tournament, the winner almost certainly gets an NCAA bid,whereas the loser is probably headed to the NIT.
Not Cooley.
"I think St. John's is clearly an NCAA team," continued Cooley, who may be the only person on the planet who thinks so. "When you look at the depth of our league, what's happened in this tournament clearly shows how strong our league is from top to bottom."
The 4-5 match-up is also, in theory at least, the closest game in terms of competitiveness. And while Wednesday night's play-in round saw one six-point win (DePaul upsetting Georgetown) and another one-point game (Seton Hall over Butler), and another one-point win in the first game of the day on Thursday (Seton Hall upsetting No. 1 seed Villanova), anyone would be hard-pressed to find two teams more evenly matched than Providence and St. John's. Indeed, the two teams split the season series, with each team winning on the opponent's home court.
Kadeem Batts and LaDontae Henton each put up a double-double for the Friars, with Batts scoring 13 points and pulling down 12 rebounds, and Henton putting up a 16-point, 11-boards statline.
D'Angelo Harrison led St. John's in scoring, putting up a double-double (21 points, 10 rebounds), while Rysheed Jordan (17 points) and Sampson (15) also put up double digits for the Johnnies.
The Friars now move on to the Big East semifinals tomorrow night when they take on suddenly dangerous Seton Hall. While almost everyone will concede that Seton Hall did Providence a huge favor by bouncing Villanova, the No. 3-ranked team in the country, in the first quarterfinal, the Friars certainly will not be taking the Pirates lightly.
"We played them twice during the season," said Fortune, Thursday's hero. "We know how they play and what they want to do or don't want to do. We have to go in there focused with the game plan and execute offense and defense."
They had better, because guess what? A loss to the unranked Pirates, and the Friars will find themselves right back on the bubble. During the regular season, the two teams split their two-game series, including a double-overtime win by Seton Hall on New Year's Eve at the Dunkin' Donuts Center.
So don't think this one's a given.
Tip-off is at 7 p.m., and the game will be televised on Fox Sports 1.

So let's review what is somewhat new to many
physicians in practice, what we now simply call e-antigen negative
chronic hepatitis B. They mostly harbor the two variants that I
mentioned, the precore or the core promoter; they're not acquired de
novo, or all by themselves. They're selected out during the immune
clearance phase. That occurs usually in early adult life. So
the wild type switches and undergoes a mutation. How do we make the diagnosis in our routine
day in and day out practice? Well, we see a patient that has a
negative e-antigen, a positive e-antibody, a DNA that has to be at
least 10 to the fourth, so it's a log 4 copies, ALT is usually
elevated, but it may be intermittently elevated. This confuses physicians, because the first
visit for a patient, the ALT may be normal. So with a normal ALT and a
negative e-antigen, it looks like there's inactive hepatitis
B. That's why it's important that all hepatitis
B patients see their physicians about twice a year to do routine blood
work, because it may take serial
blood work in order to make a clear diagnosis. Another thing is that with the two oral
agents, sustained remission is uncommon, so what's intimidating for
patients with e-Negative chronic hepatitis B, is when you initiate
therapy, it's probably going to be long-term therapy, maybe lifetime
therapy. And e-Negative also has somewhat of a more
progressive course than does the wild type.

If your water carafe was prettier, would you drink more water? The makers of Soma, a new water filtration system with a shapely glass carafe, are banking on this.
I wouldn't be surprised. I've turned into one of those people who's always carrying a water bottle around. And I do notice when other people at the gym have more attractive, eye-catching water bottles. Ooh, shiny! Ooh, red! Does it make them drink more water? I don't know.
German engineers designed the sleek Soma carafe. If you like your water at room temperature, it looks pretty on the counter. At 10.7 inches tall and 6.5 inches in diameter, it holds 48 ounces and fits in most non-dorm refrigerators.
But it's not just about style. Eco-friendliness is another of Soma's marketing points. Soma hired David Beeman, who is described in a video on the website as a "boutique water designer." He's designed water for Starbuck's and Peet's. If you did not know this was a job title, that makes two of us. Beeman designed a biodegradable filter from silk, coconut carbon (that means burnt coconut shells) and plant-based casing. The website is not specific about exactly what is filtered out.
Soma, appropriately enough, partners with water charities. They're currently running a special that for every limited edition Soma carafe purchased, $12.50 will go towards providing clean drinking water for Cambodians.
Last January, Soma completed a very successful Kickstarter campaign: 2,316 backers invested $147,444 in the new product. Perhaps the genius behind Soma is in its filter subscription system. When you buy a Soma, you're automatically enrolled to have a new filter delivered every 60 days at a cost of $12.99 per filter, including shipping. That assumes you'll process 40 gallons of water every two months. Assuming filtered water is important to you, this could be a big advantage. You'll never have to try to remember to buy a filter again. And of course, this is a big plus for the company. Kind of like those printer companies who commit you to years of buying ink cartridges.
A new Soma carafe with a single filter costs $69. For $109, you can get the carafe plus six filter deliveries.

There has been a plethora of people who say that guys and girls can't truly be friends. One of the main reasons behind this is because they say someone will ultimately be attracted to the other friend, and then what they thought was a platonic relationship turns into a crush situation. Sure it's a tricky situation when this happens, but then who is to say that that is necessarily a bad thing? Or can't there be two people who are honestly not attracted to each other at all and yet still really enjoy each others company, feeling that comfortableness that only comes when you can trust someone and be yourself around them?
Here comes the rub. First off, there's no right answer to this sort of question, so stop looking for it. Secondly, it is definitely possible to have a friendship with the opposite sex, no question. If the focus is centered on women in this type of situation however, things get a little more tricky and interesting. Of course as any woman knows, being wary about any type of relationship is just common sense. These wary thoughts however, tend to be overlooked or discarded when it comes to guy friends. Because women tend to think of it as any other friendship, they don't feel the need to be as aware of all the little nuances that they are normally hypersensitive to in other relationships, specifically romantic ones; "Oh he touched my hand…", "he called me cute!", "just got a text from him with a smiley face ". These are actions that if done by a guy who is just your friend anyone would normally not think twice about them, but when regarded in a different light they are seen as a big deal. So back to the rub: regarding women: (because that's whose perspective this is being written from) Friendships with guys are great, but it is important to remember that they ARE guys.
Let's leave it at that.

In Honor of Dex
When someone experiences a life-altering challenge or tragedy, it is not uncommon for them to seek solace in a personal cause. Some are lucky enough to find their inspiration quickly. For others, it may take much longer.
It was three years for me.
I have long searched for a project that spoke to my soul. I wanted something that would honor Dex's memory and give purpose to my grief. I needed a service project that would be as useful to others as it would be cathartic for our family. I preferred something kinda "different" and it had to be something within my skills and abilities.
When my sister's friend Emily showed us tiny little diapers that their friend Arah had created for angel families in Spokane, I knew immediately that I had found my answer. My heart told me that there was no turning back.
Micropreemie stillbirth diapers it would be. Gratefully, Arah has been incredibly supportive of our project and we are so thankful for her original inspiration.
I reached out to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation of Salt Lake, sent them pictures of my plans and asked them if they could use these little diapers. They enthusiastically responded, "we want them YESTERDAY. And could you make us some micropreemie blankets and mats too?"
So in summer of 2011, we began another chapter in our healing. At Girls Camp, our Young Women cut and pinned 78 stillbirth micropreemie diapers for local hospitals and my friend Jennie helped me sew them up. Neighbors started dropping off fabric. My sisters and their families rolled up their sleeves in Washington, Florida and New Mexico to make diapers. My friend Tracy sewed with her family and YW in Canada. As a family, we traced, cut, ironed, turned, and sewed on vacations, weekends, and slow evenings. Kinley's friends started asking for diaper-making playdates. I sewed and worked on this blog, deciding what exactly I wanted Teeny Tears to be.
Justin never raised an eyebrow when I suddenly transformed our formal sitting area into my sewing headquarters. Anyone who knows my husband understands what a profound declaration of approval that is. He has seen how this project has carried me through the autumn. I have long believed that the phrase "Time Heals All Wounds" is a load of garbage. Time itself heals very little; it's what you do with the time that makes all the difference. When the autumn anxiety nipped at my heartstrings this year, I cranked up all of my "Dex Songs" and immersed myself in cutting, tracing, ironing, pinning, and sewing. I have felt so close to my son as I have worked on this very special birthday present for him. I've enjoyed a peace and stability that has eluded me for three Novembers. When my daughter Kinley gets hit by the November blues, she grabs a stack of diapers to work on; this effort has been very healing for our entire family.
So, happy birthday to my darling Dex! Teeny Tears has been created in your memory and your honor. When a grieving family receives a T.T. diaper set for their little one, we want them to know that someone understands that their son or daughter was special, loved, and that they mattered. Because "a person's a person, no matter how small."
We introduce to you: Teeny Tears.

I received a flyer in a race packet from the Running With Angels 5K and I am soooo excited to get started and help.
In October of 2009 I was expecting twin girls and unexpectedly lost one of our sweet babies for unknown reasons at 35 weeks and was rushed into an emergency c-section the next day for preeclampsia. Your story inspires me and I cant wait to get started. Such a sweet idea!

I am so overly touched by this. I think I often worry so much about my own pain and not others. My twins were thought to have TTTS. I was monitored very closely and am very blessed to have them both. I want to help with this and so s grateful I came across this!

VANCOUVER -- With one preseason game remaining and just over a week until the shots start flying for real, the Vancouver Canucks remain very much a work in progress under new coach John Tortorella.
After seven years of Alain Vigneault, who ironically returns here as the new coach of Tortorella's old team, the New York Rangers, in their preseason finale Thursday (10 p.m. ET, NHLN-US, TSN), it's going to take some time for Canucks players to adjust to a new voice and mandate.
That voice has come as advertised, with Tortorella making threats if cell phones ring in press sessions, bluntly calling out the fitness levels of Zack Kassian and Tom Sestito, and saying "he couldn't find" top defenseman Alexander Edler in the tape he watched from last season. As promised, he also has delivered those messages bluntly and directly in a locker room Vigneault had left to the players.
"We haven't got one of his classic rants the media talks about, but he is definitely a presence in the room," veteran defenseman Kevin Bieksa said. "And you definitely know if you do something stupid you will get called out on it."
But the bigger adjustment to Tortorella has been on the ice. Training camp started as more of a conditioning camp, with players skated so hard that fatigue was cited as a problem after losing the first three preseason games. So, too, was a lack of understanding of system changes initiated under Tortorella, who didn't switch the focus to tactics until Friday.
The differences include forwards collapsing deeper into the defensive zone and the defensemen playing more of a zone down low instead of picking a man. The breakouts and forecheck also have been altered, and there is more of an emphasis on blocking shots. But the biggest challenge for Tortorella is trying to get his new team to be more aggressive and assertive all over the ice.
"It's coming along, but there are still a number of things," Tortorella said. "There are habits one way and we'd like to try it another way that we'll continue to work at. The biggest thing for me is the mindset and that translates into playing the way we want to play, and that's just having an aggressive attitude."
Captain Henrik Sedin agreed, saying the biggest adjustments don't involve X's and O's, but rather not retreating as soon as they lose the puck.
"You got to turn the switch," Sedin told NHL.com. "When we lost the puck last year we were so focused on getting back up the ice, and now it's more getting the puck back as quick as possible. It's a mindset that has to be changed."
It's a process that should get easier in the final week, with fewer extra bodies and more regular lines. But having decisions become instinctual will take time.
"It's going to take a while for sure," Sedin said. "If you think about what to do out there it is going to take you that extra split-second to get where you want to be, and that's usually too late in this League."
While systems and mindset remain a work in progress, two things clearly are different under Tortorella: The Canucks will block more shots, and top players will play more than in the past, including penalty-kill duty for Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
As Tortorella correctly pointed out, the Sedins have asked to kill penalties for years. But there was a reason they rarely got to, as the Canucks, armed with the advanced analytics initiated when general manager Mike Gillis arrived six years ago, preferred to keep them fresh for offensive opportunities and power plays. There was talk of players having peak performance ice time ranges and needing to keep them fresh amid tough West Coast travel. The Canucks even use sleep science to maximize recovery.
So, eyebrows were raised when Ryan Kesler, completely healthy for the first time in more than two seasons, played 26:26 in the preseason opener, a total more than six minutes above his average of the past five seasons.
"Fine with me," Kesler said of the extra minutes.
Henrik Sedin echoed those sentiments, but with a caveat.
"If you play this way it's supposed to give us more puck possession, which is way easier minutes than defending and not having the puck," he said.
The hope is shot blocking will become a seamless part of that. So far that hasn't been the case, with some players falling out of position to get in front of the puck, leaving their goaltender to guess as the puck makes its way through the unintended screens it creates. Given blocking shots never was a priority before -- Henrik Sedin had nine last season -- that, too, will require an adjustment period.
Goalie Roberto Luongo didn't sound like a fan of the shot blocking after allowing four goals on 18 shots in his debut, but has since tempered his thoughts.
"Maybe it will put you in situations you were not seeing so much in the past as far as fighting a screen, but it doesn't change how you play," Luongo said. "Whether you get one or 10 a game, you still have to fight through a screen the same way."
For Luongo, who is famous for slow starts and poor Octobers as he tries to dial in his reads, the bigger adjustment may be to where defenders will be in the new system. He can expect more collapsed in front of him.
"They are not going to block it every time, and you have to find a way to get a piece of it," he said.
It's a trade-off he is willing to accept for more help in front of him.
"Pucks lying around the crease and slot area -- we don't want them there," Luongo said. "Those are the most dangerous to me, so if we can eliminate those and I've got to fight a few more screens a game, I'll make that trade every day."
With so many other adjustments still to be made, it's probably too soon to be sure the Canucks feel the same way about their coaching trade.

Dear atheist friends: have you ever wanted to personally witness a Christian being eaten alive by a lion?
Well, okay....if you really want to see actual bloodshed, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
But if verbal combat in the form of spirited debate will suffice, this golden opportunity is coming soon, to a fellowship hall near you.
This reminder is for any interested parties to make note that the debate To Believe or Not To Believe: A Debate on the question of God between myself and former president of American Atheists Dr. Ed Buckner is less than one month away.
It will be held on Saturday, February 4th, 2012 from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church at 10250 Haynes Bridge Road in Alpharetta.
Dr. Buckner will do his best to eviscerate my best arguments and devour them piecemeal.
I will endeavor to thwart his success in doing so.
May the best man (or the best lion) win!
Admission is free. Seating is limited.

Welcome to HITCO Racing / Only we can stop you™
HITCO pioneered the use of carbon brakes in Formula 1 in 1980. Today HITCO is the leading manufacturer of carbon brakes in world motorsport with extensive involvement in several formulae including F1, GP2, DTM, American Le Mans, GT, IndyCar Series and Le Mans 24hrs.
HITCO is the sole supplier to both GP2 - the definitive feeder series to F1, and DTM - Germany's most popular racing series. Whilst in Formula 1, HITCO develops and supplies carbon brakes to many of the teams on the grid including former double World Champions Renault.
Want to win? Only we can stop you™
1-2-3 at Le Mans 24hrs
On Sunday June 13th 2010, HITCO brakes helped Audi to achieve their fourth
1-2-3 finish at the 78th running of the world's greatest endurance race, in
the process breaking the record for the furthest distance travelled and
making the 2010 race the fastest in Le Mans history.
All three Audi R15-plus cars ran with a single set of HITCO brakes for the duration of the 24 hour race. Such a feat was only possible following the pioneering work by HITCO and BMW back in 1999 that saw the first ever Le Mans race distance completed on a single set of carbon brakes.
Over in Formula 1, newcomers Lotus Racing and Virgin Racing both chose HITCO as their exclusive brake material and will continue to use HITCO into the 2011 season.

In a world searching for efficient, inexpensive energy sources, Alison Sweeney's research suggests that we examine the giant clam.
Sweeney, who joined the faculty this year as an assistant professor of physics and astronomy, was trained as a biologist. She realized early on, though, that she was most interested in explaining the physical underpinnings of what evolution acts on. "To satisfy my own curiosity, I ended up having to learn more and more physics," she says.
Her curiosity ultimately brought her to the biophysics of organisms, specifically bio-optics. She's currently focusing on mollusks, which share a class of proteins called reflectins, with which they build what Sweeney calls "remarkable little optical apparatuses." Her most recent work, begun as a postdoc with Dan Morse at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has been on giant clams, to learn what they were doing with their reflectins. "It seemed completely bizarre that these clams that just sit there and filter feed, basically, have these remarkable, beautiful, sparkly shells," Sweeney says.
"You could use the same strategy the clams use as a mechanism for shrinking the size of big solar cells."
What she discovered may have big implications for biofuels, which involve growing algae and extracting lipids for fuel. When algae are grown in vats, however, they shade each other, and the energy used to stir them for light exposure negates the energy they produce. "It turns out clams have this beautiful solution to this problem," says Sweeney. "Those little cells that appear sparkly at the top are actually there to exactly spread the light out so that the algae are perfectly evenly illuminated." Beyond biofuels, there's also a promise of improved solar cells: "You could use the same strategy the clams use as a mechanism for shrinking the size of big solar cells," she says. She's already started talking with professors in the School of Engineering and Applied Science about working together.
Her work on another mollusk, squid, examines how they use their reflectins for camouflage. Squid must hide from predators—including whales, sharks, and other squid—in the open space of the ocean, against the complexity of light through the water. Sweeney has found evidence indicating that the structures in squid skin are evolved to provide very good cloaking against the radiance in the ocean. "When the only thing you have to hide you is this complex light field, it takes a complex reflector to do the hiding," she says. She and her graduate students are also studying the other end of this optical system: the squid eye. "Camouflage has to evolve in response to a viewer, right?" says Sweeney. "You only have to be as good as the visual system that wants to eat you."
Like the clams, this may someday have implications for human engineering. Sweeney's own work is only possible because of recent technology like miniaturized fiber optic spectrometers, sophisticated optical modeling software, and computers big enough to handle the sort of simulations she needs. "It's allowed people like me to open up this question of what nifty optical adaptations and strategies and solutions life has come up with to solve problems."

How do you pick the
mutual funds in your 401(k)? Do you make a careful attempt to be diversified,
to have the proper asset allocation? Maybe you peek at the year-to-date returns
and choose funds that are rocketing.
But do you pay
much attention to fees? Apparently, most employees don't. And those who do may
find it difficult to get a true idea of how much they are paying to own a particular
fund, according to John Rekenthaler, president of Morningstar Associates LLC,
a subsidiary of Morningstar Inc.
"The typical provider isn't
going out of their way to steer you toward learning more about fees and expenses.
Vanguard might because that's their selling point. Everybody else --they don't
win business because of their fees and expenses."
Let's take
a very basic look at what fund expenses do to your nest egg. In this example,
we'll assume a beginning account balance of $25,000, no additional contributions
added and an annual return of 10 percent.
Buying shares of a fund that has a
2 percent expense ratio vs. one that charges just 0.5 percent can, over time,
eat up more than 18.5 percent of your next egg.
But knowing
how much is being charged for a fund doesn't tell you everything.
expenses are very often just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to plan fees,"
says Rekenthaler. "Expenses only pay for the portfolio management services
because you've hired a mutual fund manager. But there's also a plan in the 401(k)
itself. There's a cost to establish the plan, maintain the records, answer participant
questions. There's a cost to running the Web site so you can check your balance.
None of that is paid for directly by the mutual fund's expense ratio."
points out that it's quite possible a participant could pay 1 percent in a fund
expense ratio and 1 percent in a plan expense ratio, which would amount to 2 percent
annually. If you have a bond fund that's returning an average 5 percent per year,
you're spending nearly half of your profits.
Figuring out how
much a 401(k) costs can be difficult not only for participants, but also for plan
"Most advisers, plan sponsors -- they
don't have a clue who's getting paid for what," says Greg Matthews of Matthews
Benefits Group, an independent benefits consulting and plan administration firm
in St. Petersburg, Fla. "We dealt with an insurance company, one of the largest
providers in the small-plan market. For three years, I tried to get them to explain
to me what the fees are so when clients talk to me I could tell them what they're
paying for."
If it's that way for sponsors and advisers,
what chance do plan participants -- employees -- have to determine fees? Employees
may have to work for a company for six months or a year before becoming eligible
for the 401(k). A busy human resources director may give a brief rundown on the
plan and hand over a packet of information for employees to read when they get
a chance.
But the problem with many 401(k) plans starts long
before the employee gets any information. Too often, says Rick Meigs, president
of 401(k)HelpCenter.com, companies sign up for a plan because the vendor has a
Ph.D. in salesmanship.
"The typical person setting up
the plan calls a broker, an insurance company, a fund company or a certified public
account. As a plan sponsor, you need to understand the motivation of the person
attempting to sell you something. Is it in your best interest or because it generates
a commission for them?
"I'd go to a fee-based pension consultant versus
the commission-based. There are a lot of good commission people,
but you want to be sure you're not being sold something based on
a commission. Usually it's a bad plan when the sponsor isn't even
aware that there are funds with a 2 percent expense ratio."

Chicago based non-profit Greenheart International held a launch event on Friday May 4 at the Loft on the Lake, one of Chicago's premier green spaces. Greenheart International, formerly the Center for Cultural Interchange, is a non-profit dedicated to connecting people and the planet to create a more sustainable and peaceful global community and future.
The launch event celebrates the four branches of Greenheart being unified under one umbrella in order to realize the above mentioned goal. The launch party also highlighted sister projects, Greenheart Ibiza and Greenheart music. The press release states: " Greenheart's unique and diverse collection of programs fosters cultural exchange, eco-fair trade, volunteerism, and personal development, offering countless opportunities for Chicagoans and people everywhere to transform their lives and make a positive impact on the world."
Chicago travel blogger Pola Henderson is a good example of this spirit. Editor of the popular travel blog, Jetting Around, Pola was awarded a scholarship through Greenheart to go to Ecuador for three weeks to assist at with Community Development program in Lumbisí near Quito helping children and the elderly. What an awesome way to make a difference and see a different part of the world.
The launch featured interactive displays that spotlight world travel and transformation, live entertainment, local and sustainable cuisine, an incredible prize drawing and guest speakers who shared their own remarkable experiences with Greenheart International. The event turned out to be a huge success. The event sold out with 250 guests total and raised nearly $10,000.
All event proceeds support Greenheart's Environmental Service Learning Scholarship (ESLS), a special environmental and cultural immersion program for economically disadvantaged Chicago high school students. Recipients of the scholarship spend two weeks in Costa Rica living with local host families, volunteering at an animal rescue center and learning about the environment and community development. When they return to Chicago, they share their new skills by leading a Greenheart supported community project in their school or neighborhood.
At a time when many Americans continue to only travel and think locally, it is great there is a Chicago hometown non-profit engaging youth and other service minded individuals with the rest of the world. Only 30% of our population has a passport, so it is great that Greenheart is reaching out to youths in a way that connects them to the world and it seems this reorganization in the non-profit will help facilitate this goal.
"In this time of change and expansion for Greenheart, we see clearly the need to engage more deserving youth in Greenheart programs," said Laura Rose, CEO and board member to several key cultural exchange organizations. "Our scholarship offerings are growing, and this launch party serves as a platform to share this vision and to raise funds for more Chicago youth to experience cultural exchange."
"There are major shifts taking place in our society, and Greenheart wants to be a leader in this transformation," said Emanuel Kuntzelman, founder and president. "By offering programs that relate to travel, cultural exchange, fair trade, volunteerism, environmental care and personal development, Greenheart fosters change makers and global citizens in a holistic way. Through this Greenheart community, we aim to create a more peaceful and sustainable world. This is our mission."
As a Chicagoan, a traveler, and a person concerned with green issues and future sustainability, it is great to know that there is a local non-profit like Greenheart.

Henry Blodget Is Smoking the Hopium!
The Silicon Alley Insider dares to get happy.
In his time over at Silicon Alley Insider, Henry Blodget has not exactly distinguished himself as Mr. Optimism. In fact, in his unerringly stern commentary, especially about the poor New York Times, we sometimes wondered if he wasn't still doing penance for his bad-old days as a giddy dot-com analyst.
So imagine our surprise when we read a post today that marshaled a rather impressive array of data suggesting, if far from proving, that the housing market — and possibly the whole dang economy — is no longer in free fall. It was like he lifted his Darth Vader mask and breathed in fresh air for the first time! But then the commenters poisoned it: "Stop smoking the hopium," wrote one reader.
"You're insane," wrote another.
"You don't get extra credit for being an optimist... you don't accrued good will for leading people over a cliff with a smile on their faces. Our system is about to collapse... the whole thing."
To which Blodget coolly replied: "'Our system is about to collapse'? Define 'collapse.' Back to a barter system? Hunting squirrels in Central Park? Possible, but I doubt it."
Yeah! We doubt it, too. C'mon, economy, show us your bottom. Don't make us hunt for squirrels.

Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh will deputise for manager Brendan Rodgers in the technical area at Loftus Road today, after three members of the travelling party were struck down with illness.
The Reds boss has been sent home from London ahead of the Barclays Premier League game against QPR on doctor's orders after succumbing to a likely virus that has made it impossible for him to be in close proximity with the players.
Glen Driscoll, LFC's head of performance, and goalkeeper Brad Jones have also been sent home by the club's medical team.
Club doctor Zaf Iqbal said: "It was impossible for Brendan, Glen and Brad to attend the game. They are not fit to be at the match and any contact with the rest of the squad could cause the bug to spread to more of the playing staff."

John Cabot UniversityItaly, along with Greece, is known as one of the birthplaces of Western culture. It is a synonym for its diverse periods of art and history spanning past a millennia. From the wine region of Tuscany and fashionable streets of Milan to the ancient Roman ruins of Pompeii and Sicily, every corner of the country is home to countless cultural diversions. In fact, Italy has more cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country. No wonder it is often nicknamed Il Bel Paese — the beautiful country.
Rome, Italy

Rome, Italy
*Program information subject to change
As the third most visited city in the European Union, Rome, Italy is constantly abuzz with street cafes, savory restaurants, and mesmerizing monuments. The Eternal City — as it's sometimes called — is home to many of the greatest artistic and historical treasures spanning western history.
Among the city's resources are an abundance of museums, fountains, churches, and architectural monuments. Some of Rome's most visited sites include the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican, and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. If you want to live "la vita bella" — the good life, there is no better place than "Roma."
John Cabot University
John Cabot University is located along the banks of the Tiber River in the vibrant Trastevere quarter — historically known as the artists' district — on the grounds of the prestigious Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei where Galileo once lived and worked. The University combines the academic quality of an independent, accredited university while giving you the services and care of a study abroad program. JCU is an American university so you will find the academic structure similar to a university in the US. John Cabot University faculty, staff, and students are proud to be part of an American university overseas with a unique and friendly student population of Italians, Americans, and international students. Small cobblestone streets and outdoor cafes characterize the neighborhood surrounding JCU, which makes it a perfect place to study and meet with friends as you enjoy the historic center of Rome.

Sony Xperia V delayed until early 2013 in Europe? It should run Android Jelly Bean at launch
Officially announced by Sony in late August (at the same time with the Xperia T and Xperia J), the dustproof and waterproof Xperia V might not be released this year in Europe.
Sony France has tweeted that the smartphone was initially supposed to arrive in December (for €549), but now its launch is scheduled for January 2013. The good news is that the handset will be a bit cheaper (€529), and should run Android Jelly Bean from day one.
We're not sure if the Xperia V will be delayed until early 2013 in all Europe, but we'll let you know when more details are unveiled.
A Japanese version of the Xperia V – namely Xperia VL SOL21 – was already launched by KDDI (Japan's second largest mobile carrier). NTT DoCoMo will also launch its own version, the Xperia AX SO-01E, sometime next week.

College Hockey:Kunitz Scores Two Power-Play Goals For Ferris State
Bulldogs Down Notre Dame on Road
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Ferris State sophomore left wing Chris Kunitz scored a pair of power-play goals and senior defensemen Scott Lewis and Jim Dube picked up a pair of assists as the Bulldogs downed the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 4-2, at the Joyce Center on Friday night.
The Ferris State win moved the Bulldogs past Notre Dame and out of the CCHA cellar. FSU has won two of its last three games to improve to 6-11-4 overall and 2-8-3 in the league, good for seven points.
Notre Dame has dropped three in a row and eight of its last nine games to slide to 4-15-3 on the year and 2-9-2 (six points) in the CCHA.
FSU broke on top at 6:11 of the first period when Rob Collins deflected a Lewis shot from the right point past Notre Dame's Kyle Kolquist for a 1-0 lead.
Notre Dame came back to tie the game at 5:29 of the second period on some hard work by senior left wing Dan Carlson.
Carlson burst out of the penalty box after serving a minor for cross-checking and raced in on FSU's Phil Osaer. The junior goaltender denied Carlson with a sliding pad save.
Ferris State broke back and Carlson intercepted a pass at the Irish blue line, and was joined by Matt Van Arkel for a two-on-one break. Carlson, Notre Dame's top scorer, pulled the defense toward him and fed Van Arkel, who buried a one-timer past Osaer for his second goal of the year.
The Irish took the lead for the only time of the night at 10:52, when their three hottest players, Carlson, right wing Ryan Dolder and defenseman Brett Lebda combined for a Dolder power-play goal, giving all four players four-game scoring streaks.
Carlson moved the puck along the left-wing boards to Lebda, who sent a pass to Dolder at the right point. The senior slapped the puck at the net and his shot broke off Osaer's glove and trickled into the net for his ninth goal of the season.
The Irish lost the momentum due to a pane of glass in the Notre Dame end popping loose. After a 15-minute delay to repair it, the Irish never seemed to get that jump back.
An icing call on the Irish late in the second period cost them. FSU center Kevin Swider appeared to lose a faceoff to the left of Kolquist, but beat the Notre Dame defense to the loose puck and walked out in front of Kolquist.
The senior goaltender made a save on the first shot, but the rebound came to Swider, who flipped it into the open goal with just 4.6 seconds left in the period to tie the game at 2.
"There's no question that goal was the first key play in the game," Notre Dame coach Dave Poulin said. "I don't think the glass coming loose changed the momentum. I thought we were tired too and the break was OK, not as long as we had, but I don't think it affected us."
The second key play came at 3:24 of the third period. With the Irish already killing a power play, senior defenseman Ryan Clark was whistled off for cross-checking in front of the goal.
With the five-on-three advantage, Kunitz got his first goal of the night and 10th of the season with just one second left on the first Irish penalty.
"The second penalty really killed us," Poulin said. "We had almost killed the first one and that gave them the five-on-three. Those two plays cost us two goals."
The Irish, who mustered just five shots in the third period, pulled Kolquist with 1:21 left in the period and controlled the play in the Ferris State zone, until Dolder was whistled off for elbowing at 19:25.
Kunitz got his second of the night into the empty net with just seven seconds left.
Ferris State outshot Notre Dame 33-22. Kolquist, still searching for his first career win, made 29 stops as his record went to 0-2-1. Osaer made 20 saves for the Bulldogs as he improved to 2-4-2.
"We played well in segments of the game," Poulin said. "But that's not good enough. They have to learn to play an entire 60-minute game. I told them after the game that this would stop when they get sick and tired of losing. They have to figure it out."

The Tuolumne Narcotics Team (TNT) and Tuolumne County Sheriff's found and removed almost 31,000 pot plants on Monday April 22, 2014 from the Moccasin area of Tuolumne County. Officers noted that the pot growing operation was on Bureau of Land Management land and appeared to be another Mexican drug cartel operation.
There were no suspects located in the area at the time of the plants removal. The pot growing operation was spotted from the air by a law enforcement fly over of the two sites near each other where the plants were found.
Early detection and eradication of the grow sites has been a goal for TNT in recent years. The final street value of the nearly 31,000 plants was suggested to be in the $10 million range. Mexican cartel grows in the rural BLM areas has been on ongoing problem for decades now and is continuing to escalate.
Spokesperson Sgt. Scott Johnson from the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Department stated: "No suspects were located in the grow operation. There was some evidence that they uncovered at the scene and the pattern of grow indicates that it is another Mexican drug cartel grow."
Local citizens living near BLM land have reported heavier than normal activity in the past five years, most likely due to increased interdiction of pot smuggling by state and federal authorities near the California and Mexican border area.

The fans of "Amish Mafia" are surprised to learn that the engagement looking to be possible might just be a passing love. There is trouble for the couple looking for love and it's partially in part of Levi's deception. This "Amish Mafia" spoiler reveals details about the upcoming Discovery episode and fans who don't want to know the details might want to look away. According to EnStarz, fans will be surprised to learn Esther Schmucker and Lebanon "Levi" Stoltzfus didn't go to Atlantic City together for a weekend trip.
Pretending to be on a mission, Levi left town and told Esther he was doing church work. The lie seemed believable, but it was put to the test when Levi's pals accidently revealed he was in New Jersey. The simple slip up has Esther Schmucker upset as Levi wanted to get engaged.
What will become of the two and their love? While Levi is away, it appears that Esther has a few ideas of her own on how to use this information to help her family and squeeze Levi into a corner to make him pay. Knowing that Esther has more brains than Levi, it's not hard to see how a shakedown is happening soon in Pennsylvania
"Amish Mafia" airs Tuesday night on the Discovery Channel.
