Kasie Enman Gets Ready for U.S. Mountain Running Team QualifiersShe was the toast of the mountain running world in 2011. Can Enman repeat her championship performances this year?
Photo by Droz Photo (courtesy of Salomon)
2011 was a great year for Kasie Enman. The 32-year-old native of Huntington, Vermont, made waves in the Mountain Running scene by capturing first the U.S. title at New Hampshire's Cranmore Hill Climb in June, and then the individual title at the World Championships in Albania last September, leading the women's U.S. Mountain Running Team (USMRT) to a fourth-place-overall finish.
"I was finally healthy and well-prepared heading into the mountain-racing season," Enman says of her spectacular 2011. "Previous years, I was either injured or coming off injury and way undertrained. While mountain running was a great way to stick my toes back in the racing water coming off injury, I knew I had more in me.
"Still, I completely exceeded all expectations last year," she continues. "I was also surprised at my ability to race well on the up-and-down courses, as I had previously avoided them because of a fear of injury on the downhills. Turns out the downhills are a strength of mine."
That's an important distinction for Enman to make as she seeks to defend both her U.S. and World title starting at the Loon Mountain Race in New Hampshire, which serves as the women's USMRT qualifiers, this Sunday. Loon Mountain, like the World Championship course in Italy, will be primarily an uphill climb, unlike last year, when it was an up-and-down course. The World Championship course alternates between uphill and up-and-down each year, and the U.S. championships for both men and women follow suit.
2012 is already looking good for Enman—it has seen her gain a new sponsorship with Salomon and she says it will see her try her hand at the SkyRunning circuit in Europe later this summer. She also turned in a third-place finish at last month's Mount Washington Road Race, an uphill race that served as the men's USMRT qualifier.
We caught up with Enman as she prepares for Loon Mountain to ask about how she ended up in mountain running and hear her thoughts on the development of the U.S. team.

You only have one belt — one belt! — and you lost it. (We don't even want to know how you managed to do that.) Another, more pressing problem is that you have a date coming up, and your girl has already ranted about men who wear their pants low to expose their boxers. It's just so tasteless! Using a stapler is not an appropriate alternative, so opt for the Staple belt from Quiksilver. This web belt features a metal buckle with a Quiksilver logo and the brand name debossed onto the metal tip.

I would have to give this movie 3 1/2 stars out of five. Not a bad movie at all, great date movie. My wife and I went and watched it over the weekend. I can say that at 1 hour and 45 minutes for a Romatic movie it didn't at all seem like it. Really well paced, and the acting of Aaron Eckhart and Catherine Zeta-Jones and the young Abigail Breslin were outstanding, could have been a little more dramatic, but that is just my taste. Aaron Eckhart's character (I think) was modeled a lot after Mario Batoli, even down to his orange shoes (Crogs?). If you are a "Foodie" you will love this movie. Nothing unpredictable about it, I knew the end from the time the hint is dropped halfway through, but never-the-less it was very entertaining. Again a great date movie.

I saw this movie with two other "chicks" today, and we LOVED IT!! I must buy it on DVD when it comes out, to add to my "Feel Good" collection. I didn't know if I'd like the food theme (not being nuts about cooking), but it added quite a sensual touch -- and I'm all about that! Two of us sat and predicted what was gonna happen, but that's okay. Loved it anyway! Yeah, guys, take your dates to this one. You won't be sorry! Language was even clean! The little girl is wonderful! Catherine Zeta Jones is always great - and the guy grew on me, after I got over his rough look...

Women and Stress: 6 Foods That Calm Panic
Eat right to restore your sanity, reduce your panic and quell your stress -- you'll look better as a result
These women with stress -- either type -- eat (or rather, don't) to help them cope with emotional demons and cursers. It's a normal reaction to feeling anxious or panic -- typically called "stress eating."
But a better approach is out there -- and it's even easy to adopt. According to nutritionist Lara Field, MS, RD, CPS, LSN, when it comes to women and stress management, your goal is simple: Eat a balanced, healthy diet -- all the time -- to help you remain calm, even-keeled and balanced, regardless of what life throws at you. Because, when you're at ease, you look and feel better (from the inside out), there's no doubt about that.
See the six foods that calm panic.
That's why we've called in Field, who recommends following a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables that are filled with vitamins, fiber and phytochemicals (naturally occurring compounds that are found in plants which may affect health) 24 hours a day, seven days a week and even, gasp, 365 days a year.
In addition to the foods (and vitamins) that Field gushes over, she also suggests that we, as women, load up on flavonoids, like quercetin -- found in apples -- to reduce hay fever, asthma and even eczema; isoflavones, which are found in soy and can reduce cholesterol; and the antioxidant, rutin, which is found in red wine. "It's all about balance and moderation, which will always keep you on your toes, and putting your best face forward."
See the foods that calm panic -- now.

My mom told me to keep a jar of peanut butter handy and to eat a tablespoon when I feel anxiety brewing. It really works.

As a source of big-screen inspiration, Thanksgiving has always been the awkward middle child between the scares of Halloween and the values lessons of Christmas.
Although the holiday has yielded a few keepers — as in Planes, Trains and Automobiles — the saying of thanks and stuffing of faces don't generally lend themselves to gripping cinema.
In Free Birds, director and co-writer Jimmy Hayward (Horton Hears a Who!) aims to serve a new favorite for the occasion by telling a Thanksgiving story from the viewpoint of the traditional entree.
But the execution proves far from perfect.
Owen Wilson voices Reggie, a smarter-than-average turkey at a family farm. His understanding of the fate that awaits turkeys after they're fattened up makes him an outcast among the less-aware gobblers. By chance, Reggie is spared from the dinner table through the annual presidential turkey pardon.
He briefly enjoys the perks of delivery pizza and TV on demand at Camp David before he is whisked away by a larger, stupider turkey named Jake (Woody Harrelson), who enlists Reggie on a mission: travel back through time to change the menu at the first Thanksgiving, thereby saving the lives of countless turkeys.
In a time machine named S.T.E.V.E. (George Takei, the movie's one reliable source of humor), Reggie and Jake return to the 17th century and join a group of their intelligent, productive progenitors in trying to save turkeys from a settlement of starving Pilgrims.
The movie does feature some moments when Free Birds achieves the right level of comic mania and picks up hints of the extreme visual style of animation great Tex Avery.
Mostly, though, the film consists of overly broad comedy, bland exposition and stale plot points — including the introduction of a plucky love interest (Amy Poehler) for Reggie.
Worse are a massive hole in the story's logic and some uninformed allusions to Native American genocide.
Anyone looking for holiday-appropriate family entertainment this year would be better off sticking with a DVD or TV airing of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

|Gonzaga University School of
Law building, 2000
|Dillon Hall, 2002
|Hughes Hall addition, 2004
|McCarthey Athletic Center, 2004
Due to the success of the men's and women's basketball teams, an arena was built and opened for the 2004-2005 season. It was named for the main donors, the McCarthey family. The McCarthey Athletic Center cost about $23 million. In addition to hosting Gonzaga sporting events, the 6,000 seat arena would provide a location for entertainment opportunities, educational events, and meetings. Bill Cosby would be the first, non-sporting event, to perform.
Gonzaga's nursing program developed its undergraduate nursing program in 2005. As of fall 2010 enrolls 220 undergraduate students and 300 students in four graduate tracks. Since its new developments, 99% of Gonzaga's nurse practitioner graduates have passed their national certification exams.
|ESPN College Game Day, 2006
The first ESPN College Game Day at Gonzaga happened in February 2006 making GU the first university west of the Mississippi River without a BCS football team to be featured on the program. Students camped out for more than a week just to stand in the bleachers behind GameDay hosts Dick Vitale, Digger Phelps, and Jay Bilas during the live broadcast. College GameDay returned in February 2009.
Located in the Foley Center, the Teaching and Advising Center (CTA) was founded in 2006 to foster a new level of excellence in teaching, and advising, through mentoring, collaborating, and bringing outside sources of expertise to campus. Gonzaga English Professor Teresa Derrickson was appointed CTA director.
In November 2006 Gonzaga dedicated the Dave and Sandy Sabey Family Biology/Chemistry Wing of Hughes Hall. The new north wing contains a seminar room, 10 faculty offices, a biology faculty research lab and the Inorganic Chemistry Lab.
|Kennedy Apartments, 2007
The Kennedy Apartments at Sharp and Pearl streets opened in April 2007. A year previously, the apartment complex was completely destroyed by arson. The 75 unit structure, which housed 220 students, also included a Gonzaga apparel store and coffee shop. The second section to mirror the first complex is currently under construction.
In summer 2007, the first group of 42 students went to Africa to serve and learn. Three groups travelled to locations in western and central Zambia and Benin, West Africa. Each group had different priorities, including teaching English, researching chimpanzee behavior, helping to build a school, and teaching villagers how to filter polluted water using locally available materials.
|Patterson Complex, 2007
For 36 years, Pecarovich Field, later August/ART Stadium, was home to Zag baseball. This facility was torn down to make room for the McCarthey Athletic Center. While a new baseball stadium was being built at a new location just to the south of the old field, Gonzaga baseball was played at Avista Stadium, home to the Spokane Indians. Named for the major contributor to the project, the Patterson Baseball Complex opened in spring 2007 with the field known as the Washington Trust Field, after another major supporter, Washington Trust Bank. The $7 million facility provided home and visitors' locker rooms, baseball offices, laundry, training equipment, batting cages, and a natural grass field.
Fall 2007 marked the celebration of the 120th anniversary of the College of Arts and Sciences at Gonzaga University. During Fall Family Weekend in October, the Administration Building was renamed as "College Hall". Always having been the home of the College of Arts and Sciences, the new name affords a recognized home for Gonzaga's largest and oldest College.
|"This is Our House" Statue
Comprehensive Leadership program (CLP) published its first issue of One World in the spring of 2008. Published one a semester, it is a non-profit publication to discuss global issues and experiences. The goal is to give a voice to the voiceless and to provide a place where stories can be shared and remembered. Student and faculty produced articles, poems, and photographs are aimed to be a call to action rather than just news pieces.
Construction began in January 2008 for the new soccer facility, which was needed as the conditions of the Martin Field had deteriorated to the point that Gonzaga was forced to forfeit two games because the field was considered hazardous to players. This construction was the first phase to build a field and adjoining practice field. Since all funds for building new athletic facilities are from donors, projects are planned in multiple stages as each is completed separately.
In April 2008, the St. Ignatius Statue was dedicated. Sculpted by George Carlson, the nine foot bronze statue graces the main entrance of College Hall with a reflecting pool and redesigned landscape. This "Meditation" statue represents St. Ignatius' contemplative moment of transformation.
|ROTC Commissioning
With a growing Theatre Arts program, there was a need to improve the existing space in Russell Theater, which had not been renovated since 1968. Phase one happened over summer of 2008 with phase two happening during winter break and the final phase summer 2009. The theater underwent major renovations by upgrading the lobby and the performance and seating areas. The theater was renamed the Harry and Colleen Magnuson Theatre after the donors from Idaho. Opening night was October 24 with the showing of "Curse of the Starving Class".
Although St. Aloysius Church is not part of Gonzaga, it has had a long time relationship with the university. A three year project to restore it began in October 2008 in preparation for its Centennial in 2011. The $1.5 million face-lift to work on its roof and spires. Many of the roofing tiles were missing or loose. About 30% of the tiles needed to be replaced. Lights on the crosses and sky lights were replaced. Other improvements included a new ventilation system, new interior paint, stained glass cleaning and repair, and a contingency and maintenance budget.
President Robert Spitzer stepped down in July 2009 after serving 11 years. During his tenure, he saw the enrollment increase from 4, 507 in 1998 to 7,319 in the fall of 2008. He completed a $119 million capital campaign for buildings, student financial aid, faculty enrichment, technology, and mission programs.
Coughlin Hall, a $16 million residence hall, opened in Fall 2009 honoring long time Gonzaga President, Bernard Coughlin, SJ. Housing 340 freshmen and sophomores, it has an onsite café, a reception desk staffed for late night hours, parking beneath the first floor, a classroom, and a seminar room. A faculty member lives in the residence hall and coordinates the living and learning activities. Several floors are themed communities, such as Service and Leadership, Global Engagement, and Mind, Body, and Spirit.
For Orientation 2009, Gonzaga made the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest game of dodge ball with 1000 participants. The participants played under the lights on Mulligan Field.
|Dodge Ball Record, 2009
The Engineering School grew from 297 students in 1998 to 530 students in 2008. This enrollment increase as well as new technological developments created a need to for more classrooms and office facilities for students and faculty. The PACCAR Center for Applied Science opened on October 1, 2009. This 8.5 million building was made possible through the lead gift of $2 million from PACCAR Inc. The 25,000 square foot high-tech facility houses sophisticated technological laboratories dedicated to robotics, artificial vision, and transmission and distribution engineering, classrooms and offices. In 2010 the building received the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification for incorporating sustainability principles into engineering design. The building was recognized for its natural lighting, energy efficiency, and open public spaces.
In preparation for a new building, the Bishop White Seminary mansion was donated to Gonzaga by the Diocese of Spokane in 2008. The building was moved across the side street on July 23, 2008. It took two days to move the building, which weighed 426 tons. It took 96 tires from 12 hydraulic dollies to support this weight. The 100 year old building, named for its architect John Huetter, is considered a well-loved historical site in Spokane. In January 2010, the Gonzaga Alumni Association moved out of the Crosby House into the Huetter Mansion. The Crosby House became home to the Office of Sponsored Research & Programs and other offices.
The new Engineering-in-Florence program started in the spring 2010 with 22 sophomores, most of them GU students. Engineering students would no longer have to choose between studying abroad and completing their degrees on time.

In 2011, women's basketball point guard Courtney Vandersloot becomes the first NCAA Division I basketball player - man or woman - to record 2,000 points and 1,000 assists in a collegiate career.
Jane Korn became the first female dean of the Law School in July 2011. She replaced Earl F. Martin, who became dean in July 2005 and stepped down to become Gonzaga's executive vice president. Law Professor George Critchlow served as acting dean from 2009 - 2011.
In the fall of 2011, Gonzaga offered Algorithmic Art as a 3 credit class. The goal was to teach computational thinking to liberal arts students. Algorithmic Art along with Digital Technology and Society and Fluency in Information are part of the new program called ITEC or Information Technology. This program meets the belief that higher education must teach computation thinking to students to help them with critical thinking and become graduates who are better prepared for employment. This could lead to new majors in computer science and computer engineering, fields that need more graduates nationwide.
In keeping with the Jesuit initiative on interreligious dialogue, the Venerable Geshe Thupten Phelgye, a Tibetan Buddhist monk, spent the 2011 - 2012 academic year as Gonzaga's first Global Scholar in Residence by teaching, lecturing, and leading meditation sessions on campus. He advocates vegetarianism and universal compassion for world peace. He taught a class on Asian religions and on Buddhism. Geshe Phelgye lived in the Twohy Residence Halls with freshmen and sophomores.
|Legal Assistance Clinic
In April 2012, GU Engineering students won the EPA Competition, its 8th Annual People, Prosperity, and the Planet competition in Washington DC. The students designed two devices to improve the health of Zambian women and children: one was build a simple ventilation system for kitchens in rural dwellings. It generates electricity from thermoelectric cells driven by waste heat from cooking fires; the second was to develop a ceramic water filter made with local materials to remove contaminants from drinking water in their homes.
To begin the 125th Anniversary of Gonzaga University, Archbishop Desmond Tutu was the commencement speaker for the May 2012 Commencement. During this event, Gonzaga awarded its largest number of degrees: 2,221 total.
The $15 million Boone Avenue Retail Center - BARC - was started in 2012. The BARC, which includes parking for 650 vehicles, is a precursor to the new University Center, that is expected to transform campus and generate a new front-door to the University. Its construction is expected to start in the summer of 2013 at the same time as the completion of BARC.
|Class of 2015
Although physically and financially Gonzaga does not resemble the institution of 1887, Gonzaga has never lost its mission. As written in the 1887 catalog, Gonzaga's object is to offer students "the facilities for securing a solid and complete education, based on the principles of religion and calculated to fit them for a successful career in life." This mission has not changed. For 125 years, Gonzaga University continues to offer a quality Jesuit education to its students to nurture creative individuals to provide leadership and adapt to the ever changing environment who can make a difference in the world.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Government of Canada and of all Canadians, I wish to extend my most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the great Maurice Richard.
I also want to pay tribute to this proud French Canadian who inspired generations to surpass themselves.
If it is true that some people are born to do a specific type of work, then Maurice Richard was born to play hockey. But talent alone would not have been enough to make him one of the best, if not the greatest hockey player in history.
He had to have more than talent. He had to have heart, pride, determination, courage and perseverance. These are all qualities displayed by Number 9 on each shift on the ice. These are also qualities that Maurice Richard, the man, displayed throughout his life.
I remember sitting with my friends around a makeshift radio in the college dormitory on Saturday nights and hearing the descriptions of Maurice Richard as he skated to the net, being pushed and shoved, being thrown on the ice, and he kept going. He got back up and gave it everything he had non-stop until the puck was behind the goalie.
No one ever wanted to win more than he did. That is what made him great. That is what all Canadians will always remember about him.
Maurice Richard was a fierce competitor, but he was also an unassuming man who did not like great honours and endless tributes.
This is why I will only add, to conclude, thank you, Maurice. We will never forget you.
The Late Maurice Richard
Oral Question Period

Edmonton North
Deborah Grey Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I am always moved too when I see the amazing passion we Canadians share for the great game of hockey. I see it in the House of Commons today. Certainly we witnessed it across the country this weekend with the passing of Maurice Richard.
Canadians are reflecting upon and paying tribute to perhaps the greatest player that ever donned a Montreal Canadiens uniform, Maurice "The Rocket" Richard. There is no question that the Montreal Canadiens, the Habs, is one of the greatest hockey franchises Canada has ever produced. It is still the most championship winning team in any professional sport and as an avid Edmonton Oilers fan, that is tough for me to say.
When I think of a player who epitomizes that championship spirit more than anyone else, I think of Rocket Richard. I must admit that I can be passionate about very many things, especially hockey, but I have always felt that my French Canadian brothers and sisters can put me to shame with their passion, zest and enthusiasm for hockey and Maurice Richard.
The Rocket was an unparalleled legend in playing the game he loved. His fiery eyes, his blazing speed, his stamina, his determination and that barely controlled temper just beneath the surface demonstrated that passion for the game he loved. "No, Rocket, you are not supposed to hit the linesmen".
I do not think there will ever be another player just like him. He is a one of a kind legend, a unique hero. In 1944-45 he was the first player to score 50 goals in 50 games and it would be another 37 seasons before anyone would do it again.
I pay tribute to him today on behalf of all of my colleagues. I extend our sincere condolences to his entire family. I want to thank them for sharing him with all Canadians.
Hockey and politics are a lot alike. When we have given it our best shot, when we have scored our best goals, when we have taken our penalties, hopefully we can all do what the Rocket did. That would be to shake hands and say that hockey is a better game, or politics is a better occupation, or life is a better experience because we have all played well. We owe this to the name and the memory of Maurice Richard.
Thank you, Maurice. We will never forget you.

Gilles Duceppe Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of all my colleagues, I wish to offer my condolences to all of the family members of Maurice Richard, particularly his children, who had to share their father with all the people of Quebec, of Canada even.
Maurice Richard was not the fastest skater. He did not have the hardest shot. He was not the most elegant player or the best stickhandler. What he was, quite simply, was the best player.
His entire life, he worked at being the best. His only goal was winning. He concentrated all his energy, strength, skill and determination on winning. He taught his generation that it was possible to reach the top. He showed future generations that they had to set their sights high, to aim at perfection.
I saw Maurice Richard play at the Forum, and of course on television. Those are moments that will remain etched in my memory. When he skated full-out, we were there skating with him. When he flew down the ice with the puck, we were with him. When he scored, it was a goal for all of us.
He has left us the example of a simple and generous man who felt that success could be achieved only by doing one's utmost, by surpassing oneself. For that alone, thank you Maurice Richard.

3:10 p.m.
Dick Proctor Palliser, SK
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my party and on my own behalf, I wish to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of the honourable Maurice Richard.
Without diminishing Maurice Richard's stature in Quebec, he was a hero for all Canadians.
For example, to show his longtime adoration, admiration and even friendship for Maurice Richard, a constituent of mine who lives in Pense has a licence plate that simply reads "NHL-9".
He was considered a second class player during the second world war, and sceptics were saying "Let's wait for our real stars to come back home".
But during the next decade, not only did Richard break Nels Stewart's record, but he exceeded it by more than 200 goals. As others mentioned earlier, Richard was one of the greatest hockey players in history. His opponents always talked about his glare, especially from the blue line to the net. The Rocket always insisted on saying that he was just another hockey player.
After his father's death on Saturday night Maurice Richard Jr. said, "My father was a simple man". That may be true, but for a generation of Canadian hockey fans, Maurice "The Rocket" Richard was simply marvellous.

Progressive Conservative
Peter MacKay Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough, NS
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Right Hon. Joe Clark and all members of the Progressive Conservative Party, I would like to express our sadness over the passing of Maurice "The Rocket" Richard.
The Progressive Conservative Party wishes to offer its sincere condolences to the whole Richard family.
Born on August 4, 1921 and throughout his 78 glorious years, Maurice Richard was a symbol of excellence and a source of inspiration for many generations of Quebecois and Canadians. The Rocket will go down in history as more than a hockey legend. He was truly a great Canadian whose on ice skills inspired a generation of hockey fans.
Although he was not deemed the most physically gifted athlete, it was his will to win that set him apart from all others. His sheer force of will was something to behold.
Nicknamed "The Rocket" for his blazing speed and hard shot, Richard developed a reputation as an electrifying player from the blue line in. Wearing the number 9 jersey the Rocket dominated the NHL for 18 magnificent years as the centrepiece of professional sports' most successful franchise. His storied career stats combining regular season and playoff goals include 626 goals, 465 assists and 1,091 total points. He was also the first player, as mentioned, to score 50 goals in 50 games in the 1944-45 season, a feat not duplicated until the 1980s.
But it was his performance in clutch situations and his ability to respond in the big games that really distinguished him from those who have played the game of hockey. During his stellar career Richard led the Montreal Canadiens to eight Stanley Cups, including five in a row between 1956 and 1960.
After his career his popularity and legend grew. He continued to be one of the most recognized and beloved figures in Canada. As his health began to decline, the NHL recognized his contributions to the game by creating the Rocket Richard trophy given annually to the league's top scorer, a fitting tribute.
Maurice Richard died on Saturday, losing a ferocious battle against abdominal cancer. His body will lie in state at the Molson Centre on Tuesday, and a state funeral will be held on Wednesday at Notre-Dame Basilica.
There has been an outpouring of public sympathy and condolences from across the country for Maurice "The Rocket" Richard. He transcended the game. Canadians consider themselves honoured to lay claim to the man affectionately known as "The Rocket", a great hockey player, a great ambassador for the game and country. Canada and the Richard family have lost a true national treasure. Au revoir, Rocket.
The Late Maurice Richard
Oral Question Period
3:15 p.m.
The Speaker
I am going to permit myself a few words about Rocket Richard. I pass on this story to you.
Those of you in the House who are of my vintage might have been around at the time when at Christmas we would get a hockey sweater for whatever team. In my neighbourhood we were mostly French-speaking kids. Invariably we would get a hockey sweater. In those days, and I do not know if they did not have enough money or if they just made them like that, they never put numbers on the sweaters. There must have been four or five of us who received a Montreal Canadiens sweater. Our mothers all sewed on the number that we wanted. We all showed up with No. 9 on our backs.
If today one or all of you had come into the House of Commons with a Montreal Canadiens sweater with No. 9 on the back, I would not have said that you cannot use props. With that sweater, that number and the memory of Maurice Richard, it would have been parliamentary.

When they give birth the calves are sold off to the veal industry for slaughter and the mother is continually milked until she's too weak to continue. It's pretty cruel really.

FinanceWorks Frequently Asked Questions
Online Banking Home Key Features Help Contact Us Mobile Banking Mobile Web Banking Text Banking
FinanceWorks Frequently Asked Questions
I see my Mechanics Bank accounts listed in FinanceWorks. What other accounts can I add?
FinanceWorks maintains links with many other financial institutions in the United States. If you have accounts at any of these participating financial institutions, you can add them here. Start by typing your other financial institution's name in the search box, and a wizard will walk you through the process.
I want to add my car loan at another institution, but all I see are my checking and savings accounts. How do I add the car loan?
Most financial institutions allow you to add multiple kinds of accounts – including car loans. If you don't see your car loan here, that's likely because your other financial institution has opted not to make it available.
How much account history is stored?
The number of days history will vary by financial institution. Generally, up to 90 days of history are immediately available. However, history may be available up to 24 months.
Can I add accounts at investment firms?
Yes, there are some firms that you can add. Please note that with investment accounts, you won't be able to see every detail of your holdings in each security; you can only track some limited transactions and your balances.
My account information doesn't seem to be updating automatically. Why not?
FinanceWorks will refresh your account information automatically. You may also click on the "Refresh" button on the top of the page.
I changed my Online Banking password at my other bank/credit union. Do I need to change it in FinanceWorks?
Yes, you must change your Online Banking password for each account held at the bank/credit union that you view in FinanceWorks. If you don't, FinanceWorks can't refresh that account information. Go to each applicable account and click on the "Change Sign-in Information" link.
How does FinanceWorks handle Multifactor Authentication (MFA) at my other financial institution?
FinanceWorks will request the MFA required by your other financial institution. This may be an answer to a challenge/secret question, entering a passcode provided by your institution or other MFA required element.
How often is my account information from other financial institutions updated?
FinanceWorks obtains transactions nightly. The exact time varies daily.
I see that my account information from my other financial institutions is not displaying my transactions from today in FinanceWorks. How do I view my most current transactions (from today)?
If you want to view transactions from today, click on "Refresh this Account". All your accounts at that financial institution accessible by the same sign-in information will be updated at the same time. You can also click the Refresh button on the Home page (under Accounts) to manually refresh all accounts.
Why are there transactions on my institution's website that aren't in FinanceWorks yet?
There can be a one-day delay, depending on when your credit union/bank makes transactions available.
Bills and Reminders
I see the Reminder section – can I pay my bills through FinanceWorks?
Yes, click on the Make Payments link under Other Tools to access Bill Pay. The Reminder section in FinanceWorks is a great way to remind you to set up or pay those bills! This list builds based on past transactions. You can delete reminders for payments that FinanceWorks thought were regular payments. And you can add your own bill reminders.
Can I set up bill payments here?
Yes, click on the Make Payments link under Other Tools to access Bill Pay.
There are reminders that I didn't add – why are they there?
FinanceWorks creates reminders for you based on past transactions that have occurring regularly. If an existing reminder isn't needed, you can delete it.
How does FinanceWorks select the categories to display when I first click the Goals tab?
FinanceWorks selects your four most active categories. Any categories that are for fixed expenses, like Rent, are not selected. You can add and delete any categories you wish.
How is the average calculated?
FinanceWorks goes back three months from today's date, then starts at the first of that first month. It adds up spending for that category, then divides by the number of months that actually had activity. "Target" would be a better way to think of this.
What do the colors mean on the graphs?
Black bar = today's date. Gray bar = how much you've spent in relation to your budget. Green bar = amount remaining to spend.
Can you explain Projected Balance to me? Are my reminders included in it?
With Projected Balance, you can enter upcoming transactions to see what you'd have left in an account if expenses or deposits scheduled through today would clear your financial institution immediately. Because reminders are also part of Upcoming Transactions, they are included in Projected Balance.
How is Projected Balance calculated? Can I edit it?
Projected Balance is calculated by taking your current balance and adding or subtracting any upcoming transactions you've entered. You can't edit it per se, but you can change it simply by adding transactions.
How do I view my transactions?
Click on the account name hyperlink to view transactions for one specific account. Click the Transactions tab to view all transactions. You can also select your date range.
How do I categorize my Mastercard bill when I pay it from my checking account? It seems that that expense will get counted twice in my spending reports – once from my Mastercard account and once from my checking account.
You're correct that FinanceWorks will double those expenses. To keep that from happening, you should categorize the checking account expense as "Transfer Out". FW will then exclude that expense from your spending reports.
If I return an item I purchased, how do I categorize the refund so my spending reports are accurate?
You should categorize the return as an expense, with the same category as the purchase. So if you bought a lawn mower and then returned it, by categorizing both the purchase and the refund as "lawn and garden" expense, they will cancel each other out in your spending reports.
How do I remove a duplicate transaction?
Click on the transaction you want to delete within the list of transactions for that account, then click the Delete link at the top of that table.
I want to edit multiple transactions at once – I need to re-categorize all my past Home Depot transactions to be "lawn and garden" instead of "household".
First of all, remember that if you change one transaction now to "lawn and garden", all future expenses will be categorized the same. In addition, whenever you re-categorize a transaction, FinanceWorks asks if you want to re-categorize all past transactions to that payee.
To re-categorize multiple transactions at once, go to Trends, select your desired date range and check the boxes for the desired accounts. Below the pie chart, click the View by Payee radio button. In the table, click the Payee that you want to re-categorize, and select the new category from the dropdown. Click anywhere else on the page and then answer the prompt to keep your changes.
Can I download my transactions directly into Excel?
Not directly. You download them first into .csv format, then import into Excel. When you use the download feature, it downloads all transactions in the selected date range, regardless of whether they've been previously downloaded.
How is Net Worth Calculated?
It takes into account all your accounts (both at your host financial institution as well as accounts at other financial institutions that you've set up to display in FinanceWorks), plus any Properties you've entered, such as your car and house.
Is there a limit to the number of Properties I can add? Do they have to be actual properties?
There's no limit. You can even have multiple properties of the same type, such as multiple cars. And they do not have to be actual properties. For instance, you can add a personal loan that's not tracked in FinanceWorks.
Can you explain to me how to track my spending using the pie charts?
Yes, there are multiple pie charts you can look at. For instance, you can look at the spending for one account by going to that account and clicking the Pie Chart tab. However, it sounds like you want to track your spending across all accounts. On the Home tab, you'll see a pie chart for your spending in the period you selected. To drill down, click on the Trends tab at the top. This displays the same pie chart; however, in this view, you can click on a "piece" of the pie, then click View Transactions on the table below for that category and look at the details for that spending.
How do I see a year's worth of data in my spending report?
How long have you been using FinanceWorks?
If their answer is anything less than 9 months: When you first started using FinanceWorks, up to 90 days* of your account history displayed immediately. In order to get a year's worth of spending report data, you must use FinanceWorks for an additional nine months. Remember that some of the accounts you added at other financial institutions may not have started off with 90 days, so it may take longer to build up to a year's worth of data for them.
If their answer is anything greater than 9 months*: Go to the Trends tab. You can drag the start and finish dates of the adjustable bar across the top of the screen and set the start date to a year ago. A pre-set list of date options can also be chosen from the dropdown menu.
Can I add my own spending categories?*
Yes. Simply click on the + Add link next to the word Category wherever you see it.
I don't understand how the spending totals are calculated – Can you explain those to me?*
The totals are based on which accounts you have selected (check the boxes next to the desired accounts on the left hand side of the Home screen) and which timeframe you have chosen (use the slide bars across the top or choose a pre-set time from the dropdown menu).
How does FinanceWorks help me with my taxes?
FinanceWorks helps you prepare for taxes in two ways. Tax Watch is available to you throughout the year, and a link to TurboTax Online Banking is available from December 15 to April 16.
How does Tax Watch help me prepare for taxes?

Happy "Hollidays"Posted Friday, January 13, 2012, at 8:54 AM
By COREY NOLES
I've always felt like Matt Holliday was a very stoic presence in the Cardinals organization. Most times you see him he has a rather emotionless, hardened look on his face.
Since signing with the Cardinals, Holliday has been over-shadowed by the presence that was Albert Pujols. Given the Pujols worship by fans, Holliday has never been the face of the Cardinals. This year all of that could change and I think we're already starting to see signs of it.
Yesterday I was listening to the Bernie Miklasz Show on 101.1 ESPN while I worked like I do every day. Bernie was discussing the snowy day and how there was no guest for the show. A few minutes later he received a surprised call from Holliday.
Bernie, clearly startled, asked him why he was calling. Holliday responded that he was driving around in the snow and heard him say that he didn't have a guest so he figured he would call in. The interview was very laid back with him talking about a racquetball game earlier in the day with a few teammates. He also went on to discuss what he thinks newcomer Carlos Beltran will mean to the team.
The call was a great move for Holliday and something I wish more Cardinals fans could have heard. In the absence of Pujols, many fans are left wondering who their next love will be. Fans need that love and they need to feel loved back.
Holliday is the highest paid player on the team and has the ability to put up numbers worthy of the fan's love and frankly he already has.
During the 2011 season, he showed us that he's not going down easy. After playing through appendicitis on Opening Day, he returned in record time and played better than he did the season before. He came back so fast he didn't spend a single day on the disabled list. It was like he never missed a beat. Of course, he also had a moth fly in his ear last season.
Holliday, partly due to his "highest-paid player" status, has long been the punching bag of the lunatic fringe of Cardinals fans. When a St. Louis radio station made a comment about Holliday being injury-prone they were quickly corrected when he called in to set them straight.
He reminded them that in his entire career, he's been on the disabled list two times and typically plays over 140 games per season and has put up several seasons with 700+ plate appearances.
While I would argue that he was the second unluckiest player on the team, first in that category has to go to Freese, one could hardly call him injury prone.
In my opinion, the reason some feel that way about Holliday is due to his streak-iness. I have long felt that he has a tendency to have major ups and downs in terms of numbers, but he almost always takes the field and he is one of the toughest players - as we saw in 2011-that the team has ever seen.
I'm not trying to make Holliday Pujols' replacement, but I am saying to give him a chance this season. He is a great player who deserves more love from the best fans in baseball. He's more than capable and this year, he will be filling some big shoes in the batting order. Stand up and give the guy a hand. Let him know he's appreciated and that you're glad to have him in the line-up. Here's a good reason and sleep on this: Picture our first Opening Day roster without Albert, also being without Matt Holliday. Eww.

The biggest thing against Holliday, for many Cardinal fans, is he is seen as the guy who's contract was too high and that the team could not adequately afford to keep Pujols. The streakiness factor also plays a huge role and the fact he just dissapeared in the playoffs last year. Granted that was most likely due to the hand injury, but then again if your injured and playing golf at a baseball game by swinging at anything that the pitchers throws your still hurting the team. Holliday did have a really good NLCS by hitting .445, but he also had a bad NLDS and an awful WS. The sad fact of all is this, Holliday will never be accepted as the new face of the franchise. David Freese has a much better chance than Holliday.

Corey NolesI agree about Freese to an extent. I'm still very leary of his ability to stay healthy. So far he hasn't played 100 games in a season. I firmly believe he has the ability and the drive if hes physically able. I'm anxious to see how he starts the season. I really hope him being on a pedestal - which he defeinitely earned - hasn't given him a big head. It's happened many times before to promising guys and I would hate to see it with him. He has the potential to be the love of Cardinal Nation.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to India June 23-25, continuing a long tradition of diplomatic engagement between the United States and India.
Diplomatic relations between the world's oldest and largest democracies were established on November 1, 1946, when the U.S. Department of State elevated the American Mission at New Delhi to an Embassy. In an unconventional sequence of events, the United States and India established diplomatic relations prior to India's formal independence from the British Empire.
Since then, cooperation between our two governments has steadily grown, all the while buttressed by strong people-to-people linkages between the United States and India. These connections have been largely driven by the vibrant Indian-American community, one of the most energetic and successful diaspora populations in the world. Here's a look at some of the moments over the last several decades that have helped build and sustain one of today's most indispensable bilateral relationships.
President Obama has called India one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century, one which will be vital to U.S. strategic interests in Asia-Pacific and across the globe. Next week's U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue in New Delhi represents an opportunity to strengthen collaboration in areas including energy, climate change, trade, education, and counterterrorism. Watch Secretary Kerry's video message on the upcoming dialogue here, and follow his travel to India on state.gov.

Of course, I'd agree with CDNpielover on this. The recipe is the recipe. The amount of herbs and selection of herbs is optimized for tomato paste. Even if you used puree or crushed tomatoes or whatever, they are not processed in the manor of paste, so the entire flavor profile would be off.I guess that's one of the biggest weaknesses of this forum (IMO), that a vast majority of recipes here are dough recipes only...with a few, "meh, I took some crushed tomatoes and sprinkled the pizza with oregano" so-called sauce recipes. The exception is in the deep dish recipes, which aren't really sauce, per se, but at least directions are given.
pythonic,It was 50:30:20 mozza:white cheddar:provolone. I think Pete used it for a specific pizza clone (PJ perhaps?);but I use it on all of my pizzas. Since I started making pizzas, cheese was the main thing limiting the quality... I used many different brands of mozza from all different price points, and it always turned out really SUCKY. the blend is awesome though, and i find that it's still awesome regardless of what brand/price of cheese you use. I actually bought a giant brick of private label "pizza mozza" recently, and when it's blended it works just the same as the Saputo Mozzarellissima that costs 2x the price!!!

Campbell, Maria
Maria Campbell 1940–
(Born June Stifle) Canadian autobiographer, author of children's books, playwright, scriptwriter, editor, and essayist.
The following entry provides an overview of Campbell's career through 1993.
Campbell is best known for her autobiography Halfbreed (1973), which relates her struggles as a Métis woman in Canadian society. A best-seller in her homeland, the book has been described by Hartmut Lutz as "the most important and seminal book authored by a Native person from Canada."
Biographical Information
Of Scottish, Indian, and French descent, Campbell, the eldest daughter of seven children, was born in northern Saskatchewan. She was shunned by both whites and full-blooded Natives due to her Métis, or half-breed, heritage. When Campbell was twelve, her mother died. Forced to quit school and take care of her younger siblings, Campbell was then compelled to marry at age fifteen in order to prevent her brothers and sisters from being placed in an orphanage. Her attempt to keep her family united, however, was unsuccessful; her husband, an abusive, alcoholic white man, reported her to the welfare authorities, and her siblings were placed in foster care. After moving to Vancouver, where her husband deserted her, Campbell became a prostitute and drug addict. After two suicide attempts and a nervous breakdown, she was hospitalized and entered Alcoholics Anonymous. She began writing Halfbreed in an attempt to deal with her anger, frustration, loneliness, and the pressure to return to a life of drugs and prostitution: "I had no money, and I was on the verge of being kicked out of my house, had no food, and I decided to go back out in the street and work. I went out one night and sat in a bar. And I just couldn't, because I knew if I went back to that, I'd be back on drugs again…. I started writing a letter [to myself] because I had to have somebody to talk to, and there was nobody to talk to. And that was how I wrote Halfbreed." Campbell has since become an ardent supporter of the Native Rights movement and ran for president of the Métis community in the 1980s.
Major Works
Relating the first thirty-three years of Campbell's life, Halfbreed recounts on a personal level the discrimination and racism to which the Métis have historically been sub-ject from all sectors of Canadian society. Infused with a strong undercurrent of anger and bitterness, the book documents Campbell's search for self-identity, her attempts to overcome the poverty, prejudice, and harshness of Métis life, and finally, albeit briefly, her work as a political activist. The volume is also known for its humor, its documentation of Métis patois and rituals, and its tender portrait of Campbell's loving relationship with her grandmother, Cheechum. Campbell has noted that Halfbreed was intended to inform readers "what it is like to be a Halfbreed woman in our country. I want to tell you about the joys and sorrows, the oppressing poverty, the frustrations and the dreams." Campbell is additionally known for such children's works as People of the Buffalo (1976) and Riel's People (1978), which relate Métis traditions and history, and for Jessica (1982), the stage adaptation of Halfbreed. The Book of Jessica (1989) is a nonfiction account of Campbell's professional relationship with actress and playwright Linda Griffiths, with whom she collaborated on Jessica. The partnership was a source of consternation for both individuals, and The Book of Jessica is considered a testament to the aesthetic problems posed by collaboration, colonialism, and cross-cultural appropriation.
Critical Reception
Campbell's reputation was established with and, for the most part, rests on Halfbreed. It has been both praised as a sociological tract of the Métis community and extolled as a moving historical account of the nationally sponsored and endorsed racism that has been inflicted upon the Métis people. Agnes Grant observes: "Though the book was written for non-Natives Maria keeps them at a distance. She writes of things she knows, which she believes her readers do not know. The humor and irony are very effective in pointing out to the readers that, indeed, Maria is right. There are things that we did not know. Until she wrote the book, 'halfbreed' was nothing but a common derogatory term; now it means a person living between two cultures. The ultimate irony is that her book has never been taken seriously as literature."

[In the mixed review below, Johnson praises Halfbreed as a moving tale, but laments the volume's lack of detail concerning Campbell's adult life.]
The cover is haunting—a strong, dark face half-cast in shadows. The title, Halfbreed is proud—an arrogant acceptance of the epithet by which her people are called. The text is spirited—a resolute testimony to Maria Campbell's faith in her race and herself.
Campbell started this book about the Métis struggle as a history; she surrendered that format for a much more piquant story—her autobiography. Halfbreed is the daring account of a strong-willed woman who defeated poverty, racism, alcoholism and drug addiction by the age of thirty-three. The book is called radical by Métis working within government programmes; it challenges the compromises they have made. The author is as outspoken about her oppression as a woman among the halfbreeds as she is critical of prejudice from whites and Indians.
Maria Campbell, whose real name is June Stifle, was born in a tent in northern Saskatchewan during a spring blizzard in 1940. Her Scottish, Indian and French great grandparents were defeated with Louis Riel in 1885. Since then her family has survived on the edge of despair, too often releasing their frustration within the community. "Our men would become angry, but instead of fighting the white men they beat their wives. They ripped clothes off the women, hit them with fists or whips, knocked them down and kicked them until they were senseless."
Campbell grew up in a settlement of Indian and European traditions—Sundances and Midnight Masses. Her family were "awp-pee-kow-kossons" (half people) to the Indians and "breeds" to the whites. Her descriptions of the bigotry and hypocrisy of priests, politicians, police, teachers and social workers are clichés only to those of us who don't have to suffer through them. She is brutally honest about the joy and pain of a prairie home where spontaneity led to parties and brawls. As she grew older her father always seemed drunk and her mother always seemed pregnant. She was able to attend school regularly from age nine to age twelve, when her mother died. Afterwards, she managed to attend intermittently while taking care of the six younger children, gardening, cooking, canning, laundering and unravelling tattered socks to knit new ones.
She finally quit school and got married at fifteen in a desperate effort to save her brothers and sisters from the orphanage. Married life was bearable for the first two months until her groom began to drink. He lost his job, beat her up, and by the time she...

Maria Campbell has given children a revealing, convincing portrait of the Plains Indians in People of the Buffalo. Their way of life can probably best be communicated by a member of that community, and she is a half-white, half-Indian writer who told her own story in Halfbreed, published in 1973. The new book documents with pride and pleasure the life of her native ancestors. It's a corrective for children whose ordinary connection with Indians has been through...

White Plains Resident Named Woman Achiever by NYPA
November 19, 2003
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has selected Helen Eisenfeld, director of cost control and electric transportation in NYPA's energy services, research and technology unit, as its Woman Achiever of the Year for 2003.
Eisenfeld is one of the over 75 women to be honored by their employers at the annual Salute to Women Achievers Luncheon sponsored by the Academy of Women Achievers of the YWCA-NYC at the New York Marriott Marquis in Manhattan on Thursday (Nov. 20). The award recognizes women who have demonstrated leadership and served as positive examples in the workplace. This year also marks the 30th Anniversary Celebration of the Salute to Women Achievers Luncheon.
"Eisenfeld's outstanding efforts guiding NYPA's energy efficiency programs make a critical contribution to strengthening New York's electric system by helping our customers utilize smart, clean energy technologies that save energy, money and the environment," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief executive officer, NYPA.
A resident of White Plains, Eisenfeld is based in the Power Authority's White Plains office. She was selected for the award from among Power Authority staff at projects and offices throughout New York State.
Eisenfeld joined NYPA in 1987 in its rates unit. She moved to NYPA's energy conservation division in 1991 as an economist and helped see the department through a period of intense growth. That division, now known as the energy services, research and development unit, grew from handling about $2 million worth of energy-efficiency upgrades—mostly lighting—to installing more complex upgrades like boilers and chillers. As the range of projects expanded, the unit's budget grew to over $100 million a year.
"There was an obvious need to establish criteria as to what kind of things made a good project, and it was nice to be there in the early stages of the process," said Eisenfeld. "We established cost-effectiveness reviews that looked at paybacks, benefits, impacts and demand, and established new procedures to make sure NYPA recovered its costs and realized the maximum benefit from each project."
Eisenfeld's understanding of NYPA's business needs earned her a promotion last year to her current position—to promote electric drive transportation throughout New York State. Among the initiatives developed under her leadership include beginning a NYPA partnership with DaimlerChrysler to donate 300 electric vehicles (EVs) to NYPA customers and state university of New York campuses; instituting a new program to help finance the purchase of EVs for municipal and rural electric cooperative customers, and directing efforts to procure and demonstrate other hybrid-electric buses in downtown New York City and Lake Placid.
Eisenfeld received a bachelor's in English from Harpur College at the State University of New York at Binghamton and a master's of business administration in finance from Baruch Graduate School in Manhattan. She was active in the P.T.A. while her three sons, now all in college, attended the White Plains Public Schools and recently she took up golf. She and her husband, Sy, have lived in White Plains since 1984. They are members of Congregation Kol Ami in White Plains.
