CurricUNET Process for submission
Miami Dade College and the State Auditors have an agreement that all courses with a fee shall be prepared to be audited at least once every five years. Manual of Procedures # 1164 Course User Fees describes the College's procedure which outlines the process developed in support of all course user fees.
Elaboration of Fee Audit Lists
ALC has determined for optimization purposes to define a categorical system divided into "disciplines of study" to allocate an equal and reasonable amount of courses to be audited in twenty percent (20%) increments for a total of one hundred percent (100%) after a 5 year period. At the conclusion of the fifth year, it is expected to have a completion of course user fee audits equal to the total amount of active courses with a fee in the course dictionary at such given date. The Office of Academic Programs in consultation with Business Affairs would develop the 20% lists of courses for 5 years. Beginning in 2012 the master list of all the courses in the Course Dictionary that have a fee would be provided to ALC members for the selection of the 20% Fee Audit Lists for the next 5 years. Each year the list would be updated to reflect changes that occurred during the year affecting the number of courses in the Course Dictionary that have a fee.
General procedure:
The State Auditors request from Business Affairs the Fee Audit List from which they would choose the courses to be audited that year. The number of courses chosen in any given year has usually ranged from 20 to 30 courses. Once the auditors review the original number of courses requested, they might decide to request additional courses for review. The auditors might do this as a result of their findings. For example, inadequate number of courses to reflect a fair representation of the course population, discrepancies and inconsistencies found in the courses reviewed, or any other reason that seems pertinent to them.
Even though the courses that are typically audited each year are very few compared to the number of courses on the Fee Audit List, the auditors might want to visually scan the information that Business Affairs has collected from the departments to ascertain that the College is complying with its obligation to collect the necessary information.
The purpose of the Audit is to verify that the fees that are collected from the students are used for resources that are provided to the students and not used to cover the College's general expenses. The information that is required for the Audit would verify the purpose of the expenditures.
Although it is the intention of the College to prove that the expenditures used in providing services to the students was more than the fees collected, the information requested is to document the expenditures not the revenue. For example, if the revenue from the fee collected for one course is $10 per student, the expenditures reported should be not less than $10. In cases where the expenditures are materially less than the fee collected, the fee for that course would have to be decreased.
The expenditures should include every single spending for that course other than the expenses paid with the regular tuition revenue, such as faculty salaries. In many cases the departments make payments out of other sources, such as Dean's and Chair's accounts, etc. Whether the expenditures were made directly with the fees collected or from other sources, they should be included as part of the cost of the course.
Reporting period
The reporting period must be chosen by each department. It can be a calendar year, a school year or a fiscal year and should be within the last several years. An academic year reporting period is the preferred choice because it generally makes matching expenditures and enrollment easier (for example, 2011-1, 2011-2, 2011-3).
The reporting period can be one semester instead of one year; however, this can potentially limit the information available, making it more difficult to correlate costs with enrollment. For example, because the expenditures must coincide with the period being reported, if a semester is chosen instead of a whole academic year, you will be limited to expenditures made only during that semester, unless you provide an explanation about the difference in dates (e.g., inventory carryover).
Once the reporting period is determined you need to compile the two(2) primary components of the fee audit: the enrollment and the expenditures. It is essential and required to provide supporting documentation for all of the information submitted for the courses.
Presentation of Information
Required Worksheet
The information compiled for the courses must be submitted in a worksheet. You can design your own worksheet or download it from the web using the link below. The name of the form is "Special Fees Expenses Worksheet"
Note: If you design your own worksheet, it must include the same components and provide the same information as the one on the web.
The actual enrollment of each course for every session in every Campus must be reported for the reporting period that has been chosen.
For example, if you are reporting for the year 2011-2012 and the course is offered in 6 Campuses, with several sections in each Campus, the enrollment for each of the sections in each of the Campuses must be included. In some cases, like Enc, Math, Hum, etc. this could entail many sections that may add up to thousands of students.
The documentation could be 1) the EIS report; 2) the Class Master; or 3) the Odyssey document that reports separately the enrollment for each reference number.
To get the information from the EIS, the link is:
Note: You must have access to "Productivity". Usually Chairs have access.
Click on Productivity on the left hand side of the screen, choose semester, for example 2011-1, click on "Product by Campus" (where course is housed in), for example, Business-Kendall for an accounting course. Click on "Division", Kendall-Business Administration), then click on department again, on the next screen, click on course, for example ACG 2021.
It will give you information about the enrollment for the course, choose either the seats taken, which represents the enrollment for that course for that campus or choose Regis-SCH., which represents the enrollment for that course College wide. Print that screen with the enrollment by courses and highlight the course(s) that you are submitting.
To get the enrollment information from the Class Master the path is:
OD, ST, Campus #, CU, CC, BC, CM, Term, Course #, F11. It takes you to the enrollment of all the reference numbers for that course for that term.
To get the enrollment from the Odyssey document that reports separately the enrollment for each reference number, the path is:
OD, ST, Campus #, CU, CC, MC, and reference #, (enter), type "D" on action line and tab to reference # again and press enter.
Note: the disadvantage of this method is that each reference number would be in a separate page, creating too many pages when the course has many sections.
The expenditures are linked to a qual. The Course ID and Reference # is very important to obtain so that the quals where the courses and course expenditures are held can be determined.
The path for obtaining the qual follows:
OD, ST, Campus #, CU, CC, MC and reference #, (enter), type "D" on action line and tab to reference #, press enter
Every course reference number is attached to a qual. Therefore, you will need to check all of your reference numbers to make sure you capture all of the quals. You may have one qual or many.
Note: Remember that some expenses may be in your Department Chairs qual instead of the qual used for the course. Also there might be expenses that were paid from the Dean's accounts or other accounts. All of the expenses for the course being reported must be included regardless of the source from where they were paid. It is important to keep in mind that all of the expenditures for the courses should be included even if it is more than the fee amount charged for the course. For example, if the fee for a course is $20 and the cost documented so far is $20, but there are other costs associated with the course that could be included, those costs should be add in.
Exception: Expenses paid with Grants cannot be included. There is an exception to this exception: if the expenses in the past had been paid with funds from a Grant, and the Grant is not going to be available in the future, the documentation of those expenditures could be used to justify and support the current fee or a "new" course fee. It is necessary to include in the information an explanation about the Grant not being available in the future.
The expenditures are divided into 3 categories; 500, 600 and 700 expenditures.
The 500 expenditures include expenditures for tutors, part-timers, lab assistants, lab managers and any other individuals directly involved in servicing the students other than Faculty. Faculty salaries should not be included. Below is the procedure for dealing with hourly employees and salaried employees.
The personnel cost requires two sets of documentation-one for time worked and one for the hourly rate.
a. Time Worked: there are two paths to get to the number of hours. The first one is the Odyssey document that shows the number of hours worked by the employee for each pay-period. The path to get this information is:
OD, CM, TA, BE, employee ID number, (enter). You must identify, by highlighting or specifying, the pay-period that is being reported.
An alternate method is to use the document that shows all the employees paid by pay-period. If this method is chosen, the line that shows the employee or employees that are being reported should be highlighted or underlined. The computer path to acquire the number of hours worked by an employee under this method is:
OD, CM, TA, EA, type in check date, H(hourly), Qual and enter
The computer path to acquire the hourly rate is:
OD, CM, TA, AI (enter), Qual (enter), DI on person's name (enter), it takes you to "Employee Job Assignment Screen" Hourly Rate
An alternate method for getting the hourly rate is as follows:
OD, CM, TA, EA, check date (H), qual (enter), F11 and it will give you the hourly rate. Notice that this path is the same as the one to get the hours, with the additional step of going to F11.
Salaried Employees
The path to get the salary for a salaried employee is a s follows:
OD, CM, TA, AI, (enter), Qual and enter, DI on person's name.
Make sure that you request the period that you are reporting.
To report the personnel cost, it would be a good idea to summarize on a "Summary Spreadsheet", the names of the employees, the number of hours for each pay period times the hourly rate and the total dollar amount. At the end of the pay-periods all the dollar amounts for each employee would be added to arrive at the personnel cost.
If a more informal summary is desired, the same information could be shown by hand on the first or last page of the documentation.
The 600 Expenditures, depending on the nature of the courses, could include office supplies, medical supplies, bullets, software, videos, case studies, subscriptions, service contracts, etc.
The supporting documentation for these expenditures is a copy of the invoice and the posted general ledger transaction where the payment is shown.
The purchase requisition is not an acceptable supporting document. You could use it as a vehicle to obtain the Purchase Order # which you would need to get the invoice or the payment information from the General Ledger.
The 600 expenditures are documented in one of three (3) ways: Purchase Orders, Disbursement Requests or Purchasing Cards.
Purchase Orders
If you know the G/L code and the qual where the expenses are located, you can use this path:
OD, CM, IQ, IP, IS, Qual and enter, tab to actual column and place cursor in line of G/L row, click, date, DI on actual line, to Posted General Ledger Transactions and print it.
If you don't know the G/L code and the qual where the expenses are located, you will need to get the PO #:
First, you need the department requisition, and then you follow this path to get the PO #:
OD, CM, IQ, DI, SD, type "D" in action line
Enter reference #, (enter) (at the bottom you will see the PO#)
This screen gives you the qual and the G/L code where you can find expenses related to that PO.
2. Disbursement requests
You can follow the same path as the "Posted General LedgerTransactions" (above) and send a copy of the invoice. The
receiving document is not acceptable.
3. Purchasing Cards
The path is the same as the "Posted General Ledger Transactions" (above). Purchasing cards have transaction #'s but they are posted as Journal Entries (JE's). You need to include a copy of the reconciliation and copies of the receipts.
Note: Copies of a selection of invoices must be included as evidence of the 600 expenditures.
The 700 expenditures include purchases of equipment, such as computers, automobiles, aviation simulators, medical equipment, etc. Usually these expenditures are depreciated over a period of time for accounting purposes. To allocate these expenditures, you must estimate the number of years that you are planning to use the equipment, and allocate an amount to each year.
For example if the equipment cost $300,000 and it is estimated that it is going to last 5 years, each year that it is used, $60,000 of the cost will be allocated to that year. Using the above example, if the equipment is used for less than one year, such as, for ½ of the year, the allocation would be only $30,000 for that particular year.
New Courses/New Fees
New courses, courses that have not been offered within the last 5 years, or the first time that a fee is going to be attached to the course, needs to document a projection of the enrollment and of the expenditures.
A projection for enrollment is an estimate of the enrollment that is expected in that course in order for it to be offered. It must include a projection for the enrollment in all the Campuses. This requirement is satisfied for new courses and for the courses that have not been offered within the last 5 years, with an explanation on the comments section. For example: "It is estimated that the average number of students is going to be 20", or "the minimum number of students in order for the class to be offered is 15."
For courses that have been offered within the last 5 years, but a fee is being added for the first time, an estimate based on the prior enrollment of the course should be used. The same documentation that is listed in this manual under "enrollment" needs to be submitted for the prior enrollment.
The documentation for the projection of the expenditures is estimated from different sources:
For the 500 expenditures (personnel) projection, it is necessary to anticipate the number of employees that is required, the number of hours expected from the employees and the hourly rate expected to be paid to these employees. It is the same process that is used to calculate the actual personnel costs, only that in this case, it is a projection instead of an actual cost.
To estimate the cost of the 600 and 700 expenditures (supplies, equipment, etc.) the documents could include quotes from vendors, catalog pages with price information, or website pricing for the items listed.
For example, Office Depot or Office Max for office supplies, vendors that sell case studies, vendors with machinery or software similar to the ones that are going to be needed in the course, etc.
The idea is to document how the estimate was arrived at.
Courses not offered in reporting period
If a course has not been offered in the current reporting period, another period within the most current 5 years must be chosen.
Special situations
Courses taught at multiple Campuses
A course that is offered at different Campuses needs a special treatment.
Courses sharing expenses with other courses
When a course shares expenses with other courses, an allocation of expenses among all the courses that benefit from the available resources must be made. For example, a lab that is used by students from different courses needs to develop a criterion for an equitable distribution of the costs to all the courses receiving the benefits of the resources. Once the costs have been allocated to each of the individual courses, the information would be submitted only for those courses being reported for purposes of the Fee Audit.
Deletion of courses
For any course deletion please contact the Office of Academic Programs. Please note that this request must be entered in CurricUNET and it must follow the Curriculum timeline.
If a course is on the Fee Audit List, and the department is reporting it as being deleted, the course must be shown in the Course Dictionary as end-dated or evidence must be provided by the reporting department that the deletion process has been initiated.

Clement higoumenos of the monastery of St. Theophanes (tenth/eleventh century)
- Accession Number:
Previous Editions
DO Seals 3, no. 42.3a.
- Diameter:
- 18 mm
- Field:
- 14 mm
- Condition:
- Chipped above and below.
Bust of St. Theophanes, with thick hair and a short beard, holding the martyr's cross in his right hand and a round object, certainly not a book (as described by Laurent), perhaps a censer or a rotulus in his left hand. On either side the inscription: ο|ο|σι|οσ-θ|εο|φα|ν|/ : ὁ ὅσιος Θεοφάν(ης). Border of dots.
Τὸν ποιμένα Κλήμεντα σῆς μονῆς σκέπε.
Watch over Clement, the shepherd of your monastery.
This seal, BZS.1958.106.460, and BZS.1947.2.1383 all appear to come from the same boulloterion.
Dodecasyllabic. The single sigma bridging μονῆς with σκέπε may be an instance of haplography. Laurent attributed this seal and another from the Athens Museum (Laurent, Corpus V/1, no. 1290) to the monastery of St. Theophanes tou Megalou Agrou. Both these seals are decorated with an image of St. Theophanes, with thick hair and short beard, but in different posture (in the Athens specimen the saint is depicted orans). Both seals are metrical and implore the saint to protect the abbot of the monastery named for him. It is obvious that these seals come from the same institution. Moreover, on BZS.1955.1.4941, we have another portrait of a monk-saint (with no inscription) on the seal of Christopher higoumenos tou Agrou, and we have suggested that this must be another portrait of St. Theophanes (but very different from the two others).
Would this mean that the monastery had more than one – and variable – portraits of the founder? Or could it be that we have another monastery of St. Theophanes, not the Chronographer, such as Theophanes Graptos (October 11; Syn. Eccl. CP, 130) or Theophanes the martyr, less known but who was also a monk (September 9; Syn. Eccl. CP, 29)? No such institution is known from other sources.
The monastery τοῦ Ἀγροῦ or τοῦ Μεγάλου Ἀγροῦ was founded ca. 786 by St. Theophanes the Confessor at the foot of Mt. Sigriane (near the modern Turkish village of Kursunlu) between Kyzikos and the mouth of the Ryndakos River (Laurent, Corpus V/3, 242; Janin, Grands centres, 195-99). The monastery probably suffered decline in the later eleventh century, but revived in the thirteenth century, and was still functioning in the early fourteenth century. It is porbably that it was also called the monastery of St. Theophanes.

UPDATE 7-Canadian wildfire edges south, leaves thousands stranded
* Fort McMurray residents will be unable to return for a while
* Ground evacuation of those to the north expected early Friday
* Flames spread south, threaten two oil sands sites - officials (Recasts with warnings of no quick return to city, details on oil facilities, update from emergency officials in Fort McMurray)
By Rod Nickel and Liz Hampton
CONKLIN/LAC LA BICHE, Alberta, May 5 (Reuters) - The 88,000 residents who fled a wildfire that has ravaged the Canadian oil town of Fort McMurray in Alberta will not be able to return home anytime soon, officials warned on Thursday, even as the inferno edged slowly south.
The out-of-control blaze has consumed entire neighborhoods of Fort McMurray in Canada's energy heartland and officials warn its spread now threatens two oil sands sites south of the city.
The wildfire has already forced precautionary production cuts or shutdowns at about a dozen major facilities, eating into a global crude surplus and supporting oil prices this week.
"The damage to the community of Fort McMurray is extensive and the city is not safe for residents," said Alberta Premier Rachel Notley in a press briefing late Thursday, as those stranded in camps and on the roadside to the north of the city clamored for answers. Continued...

By Christopher Lehmann-Haupt
Published: September 10, 1987
ANSWERED PRAYERS: The Unfinished Novel. By Truman Capote. 180 pages.
Random House. $16.95. A CAPOTE READER. By Truman Capote. 722 pages. Random House. $25.
TO stress the good news: ''Answered Prayers,'' the fragment of fiction that Truman Capote left behind when he died in 1981, makes for compulsive reading. True, it amounts to no more than the three pieces that erupted so explosively in Esquire magazine in the mid-1970's - ''Unspoiled Monsters,'' ''Kate McCloud'' and ''La Cote Basque'' - and cost the author many a friendship for telling tales out of school about the world of the rich. (Mr. Capote removed from the novel's master plan a fourth piece, ''Mojave,'' after it appeared in Esquire, and published it as a short story in the 1980 collection ''Music for Chameleons.'') The novel's parts fit together uneasily, committing unnecessary repetitions and omitting the story's major development, the involvement of the narrator and protagonist, P. B. Jones, a bisexual writer, with the beautiful Kate McCloud, an expatriate American for whom, Jones cryptically confesses, ''I would lie, steal, commit crimes that could have, and still could, put me in prison for life.''
And it makes one feel a little uncomfortable with one's absorption in the complicated plot, because so much of it depends on gossip, by turns witty, outrageous and downright vile, about many people who are actually named and some who are none too carefully disguised.
But P. B. Jones is fascinating for his cool-eyed candor, his strict code of amorality and his genial contempt for both society and himself. A marginal writer and self-defined ''Hershey Bar whore'' (''there wasn't much I wouldn't do for a nickel's worth of chocolate''), Jones is a darker version of the author himself, and if we are guiltily titillated by what he has to say about the rich and famous, we are equally provoked by the light he sheds on Truman Capote.
Most interesting of all, perhaps, is the question posed by the novel's existence: of what Mr. Capote was trying to do with it and why he was unable to complete it. In an introductory note, the author's longtime editor and friend, Joseph M. Fox, recounts the history of ''Answered Prayers.'' How Mr. Capote first signed a contract for it in 1966, shortly before the publication of his best-seller ''In Cold Blood.'' How he intended the novel to be a contemporary equivalent of Proust's ''Remembrance of Things Past,'' examining, in Mr. Fox's words, ''the small world of the very rich - part aristocratic, part cafe society - of Europe and the east coast of the United States.'' And how, in Mr. Fox's hesitant opinion, Mr. Capote may over the years have written other chapters than the ones in the present volume, but almost without question destroyed them before his death.
Why did he have such difficulty with the book? In his note, Mr. Fox reminds us of, and quotes from, Mr. Capote's introduction to ''Music for Chameleons.'' Here the writer described a ''crisis'' he was undergoing in his ''creative'' development, which led him to demand of himself less density and more simplicity in his prose, greater truth to his fiction and the ability somehow to bring to a given work ''all I'd learned from film scripts, plays, reportage, poetry, the short story, novellas, the novel.''
Browsing through the thick ''Capote Reader'' that Random House has brought out along with ''Answered Prayers,'' one can see a certain logic to Mr. Capote's ambition. The volume captures the extraordinary diversity of his writing; it includes short stories, novellas, travel sketches, reportage, personal portraits and essays (but leaves out his plays and film scripts). One can trace the progression from the overwrought, overwritten early fiction to the sparer prose of his portraits and reportage, and the parallel development from fantasy to nonfiction that culminated in his true-crime masterpiece, ''In Cold Blood'' (which, because of its length, is understandably not represented in the ''Reader'').
But another progression can be seen in the ''Reader,'' and that is one involving the author's increasing candor about himself and his relation to the material of his art. This candor seems to culminate in the contempt for both the protagonist and the world he observes in the fragment of ''Answered Prayers,'' whose title, incidentally, is taken from St. Teresa of Avila's remark, ''More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.''
Seen in the light of this self-contempt, Mr. Capote's insistence on combining all writing techniques in a single work has a somewhat spurious ring. It's evident he wished to surpass himself in ''Answered Prayers'' - to blow a higher note than ever before, or sound a richer chord. But it's unlikely that as clear a thinker as he was would have really believed he could have combined the techniques of, say, poetry and screenwriting in a single work, or, if he could, that it would lend him greater power.
What he seems really to have wanted was to tell a deeper, more damning truth about himself and the world, a truth that would brand him a criminal and ''put me in prison for life.'' One can only guess at what this fantasy of the truth might have been. But one can be certain that whatever it was, it was this, and not some inability to blend the techniques of his writer's palette, that contributed to his self-destruction as an artist and a man.

Pope John Paul II Quotes About DutyQuotes about: Duty
As believers, how can we fail to see that abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide are a terrible rejection of God's gift of life and love? And as believers, how can we fail to feel the duty to surround the sick and those in distress with the warmth of our affection and the support that will help them always to embrace life?
The Church has a special duty to safeguard and strengthen the sacredness of the Eucharist. In our pluralistic and often deliberately secularized society, the living faith of the Christian community - a faith always aware of its rights vis-a-vis those who do not share the faith - ensures respect for this sacredness
The legal toleration of abortion or of euthanasia can in no way claim to be based on respect for the conscience of others, precisely because society has the right and the duty to protect itself against the abuses which can occur in the name of conscience and under the pretext of freedom.
The dignity of the human person is a transcendent value, always recognized as such by those who sincerely search for the truth. Indeed, the whole of human history should be interpreted in the light of this certainty. Every person, created in the image and likeness of God (cf. Gn 1:26 28), is therefore radically oriented towards the Creator, and is constantly in relationship with those possessed of the same dignity. To promote the good of the individual is thus to serve the common good, which is that point where rights and duties converge and reinforce one another.

When Arsène Wenger declared, after Arsenal's despatch of Porto last week, that he hoped to draw Chelsea or Manchester United in the Champions league quarter-finals the suspicion was that he did not mean it. Instead he was seeking to build confidence within his young squad in case the Gunners were paired with their English rivals, both of whom have beaten Arsenal home and away in the league this season.
Internazionale have since removed Chelsea from this morning's draw but Manchester United, who rolled over Arsenal in last season's semi-finals, remain. It is hard to imagine that Wenger really wants to be paired with them, not when there are two French teams (useful but lacking experience at this level) and outsiders CSKA Moscow (although that would involve a wearing trip to Russia, and a plastic pitch). Bayern Munich, a former suitor of Wenger and weak defensively, if a threat offensively, are surely also preferable to United. Nevertheless, there is an opponent Wenger would like to avoid even more than United, and it is not Inter, even if Jose Mourinho's team are serious contenders.
Barcelona are the side no one wants to face. The Spanish champions, after a dip, are back to form, no one more so than Lionel Messi who followed his weekend hat-trick against Valencia with two goals in Wednesday's demolition of Stuttgart. According to Josep Guardiola, Barça's coach, the Argentine has recovered his "mojo".
The same could be said for a Barça team seeking to become the first since Milan in 1990 to retain Europe's premier club title. Milan had five players who could be described as great, the Dutch triumvirate of Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard, plus the Italians Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini (Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea's current manager, also played in both finals). The current Barcelona team is still developing but arguably has only two players in that category, Messi and Xavi (currently injured), though Thierry Henry has been and Andres Iniesta leads a clutch of players who may in time be described as such.
The focus, though, is increasingly on Messi, even more than it was on Gullit with Milan. "It's kind of ridiculous what he's doing. He's amazing," Henry said. "He is the best player in the world," said the Stuttgart coach Christian Gross. "He's a fantastic talent and it's incredible to think he's only 22."
Gross's team gave Messi too much space on his deadly left foot, which helped him take his season's tally to 29 goals in 32 games in the 4-0 win, but far better defences have failed to restrain the striker, a problem which is likely to be exacerbated by a new roving commission.
Usually Messi plays wide right, coming in off the flank onto his left. On Wednesday he had a loose role behind Henry, a mobile striker himself compared to the dropped Zlatan Ibrahimovic. "Last year we won six titles. He was very decisive in those and he played wide," Guardiola said, "but we need him involved and sometimes he sees more of the ball when he plays more in the centre."
The coach added: "Every great player has a tendency to influence his team, like [Michael] Jordan with the [Chicago] Bulls. He's the best, wherever he plays." Victor Valdes went even further. "He could become the best player in history," said Barça's goalkeeper. That is a premature assessment, as is Gross's belief that "we can now compare Messi with Maradona".
Diego Maradona won the World Cup in 1986 largely off his own left foot – his team-mates were such an unremarkable group the most individually successful was Jorge Valdano, but as an administrator at Real Madrid. Despite being man-marked throughout, often brutally, Maradona scored or directly created 10 of Argentina's 14 goals. At club level, before the drugs, injuries and late nights sapped his impact, he lifted Napoli to two Serie A titles, the only scudetti won before or since by a southern Italian club, and the Uefa Cup.
Messi has a way to go to match that. Barça were successful before he arrived and would be a decent side without him. With Argentina he has been less impressive, which reflects poorly on Maradona's management since the current Albiceleste generation are collectively more talented than that of 1986.
Even the assertion he is the world's current best is arguable, not least by Wayne Rooney (32 goals in 36 games this season, and better international performances), Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, albeit that the latter pair have suffered injury and loss of form respectively. Of the quartet only Rooney and Messi are in today's draw. Wenger, surely, would prefer to see them paired together.
Club guide: Potential opponents for United and Arsenal
Barcelona (Spain)
Pedigree Winners (3); Coach Josep Guardiola; Domestic position 2nd; Big threat Lionel Messi (Argentina).
What greater motivation can there be for the Catalan side than the prospect of a final on Real Madrid's ground? Especially as Barca draw most of their players from their youth system. Even Lionel Messi, an Argentine, has been there since he was 13. Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Carles Puyol, Sergio Busquets, Victor Valdes, Gerard Pique, Bojan Krkic are all youth products. Justified favourites.
Bayern Munich (Germany)
Pedigree Winners (4); Coach Louis van Gaal; Domestic position 1st; Big threat Franck Ribéry (France).
King Louis has taken time to impose himself but the Dutchman looks to have done so now. Impressive attacking force with Ribery, Bastien Schweinsteiger and Arjen Robben creating for Miroslav Klose. Not so hot defensively despite the presence of Phillipp Lahm, Martin Demichelis and midfielders Anotali Tymoshuk and Mark van Bommel.
Bordeaux (France)
Pedigree SF (1); Coach Laurent Blanc; Domestic position 1st; Big threat Yoann Gourcuff (France).
The better-known players, Gourcuff and Marouane Chamakh, are exciting, attacking ones but the team are quite functional in reality. They score two-thirds of their goals from set-pieces and rarely concede. The Girondins will miss Alou Diarra from the quarter-final first leg after the midfielder was sent off against Olympicakos on Wednesday.
Internazionale (Italy)
Pedigree Winners (2); Coach Jose Mourinho; Domestic position 1st; Big threat Wesley Sneijder (Neth).
Any doubts about Inter's challenge were removed at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. Domestic dominance may at last be transferred to the European arena ending president Massimo Moratti's long quest to emulate his father, under whose command the cub won in 1964 and 1965. Sniejder (right) conducts, Samuel Eto'o and Diegi Milito finish, Lucio, Julio Cesar and Walter Samuel block.
Lyons (France)
Pedigree QF (4); Coach Claude Puel; Domestic position 5th; Big threat Lisandro Lopez (Argentina).
Knocked out Real Madrid and Liverpool, and despite sitting fifth in Ligue 1 are only two points behind leaders Bordeaux, so should not be underestimated. Lisandro, inconsistent pair Sidney Govou and Bafetimbi Gomis, and Miralem Panjic, are threats, Cris and keeper Hugo Lloris the defensive keys.
CSKA Moscow (Russia)
Pedigree QF (1); Coach Leonid Slutsky; Domestic position 6th; Big threat Milos Krasic.
Surprise quarter-finalists will be big in Japan: Keisuke Honda is first Japanese to make the last eight. They should at least be fresh – the Russian season only began last weekend. They also have an excellent keeper in Igor Akinfeev, Russia's defence in the Berezutski twins and Sergei Ignashevich, and clever midfielders in Krasic and Honda. No one will relish the Luzhniki's plastic pitch.
United and Arsenal could also draw each other, of courseReuse content

Repair Fractured Storage Strategies
Credit unions are built around helping members accomplish their goals by providing better and more customized services than other financial providers. For today's members, this translates into real-time access to everything. "Self-service" and "omni-channel" aren't just buzz words, they are the new normal (Bluepoint Solutions).
In this reality, documents such as loans, receipts and financial statements must be available everywhere: in the branch, from the call center and through various digital channels. And, if you are like the majority of credit unions, you've replaced your paper-based systems with digital, at least some of them, so you're able to deliver, right? I doubt it. Your systems are getting older. They're probably not comprehensive. Chances are, they don't play well together. The fact is, you may have some good systems, but the instant response times your members expect can completely break down if all member-related documentation isn't stored together.
For example, suppose a member—let's call her Maria—comes into the branch needing copies of financial statements, some transaction receipts, and home loan records. Some of what she wants may be readily accessible, but more often, your employee will spend a lot of time—maybe an hour, possibly stretched out over multiple days and physical locations—to go to the statements section of imaging, search for Maria's paperwork, print or save those documents, and then repeat this process for loans and receipts. This laborious process wastes employee time and, worse, disappoints Maria, who leaves the branch empty-handed.
How did we get here?
When document imaging was first introduced to credit unions, files were organized to mimic how paper documents were being used, and they wound up in silos, or grouped along department lines. Such file structures made the transition from paper to digital much easier for credit union employees. If they needed a loan document, they would search the loan section of the imaging system, just as they would previously have looked in the loans file cabinet in the branch.
Unfortunately, the silos that delivered an easy digital transition perpetuated the inefficiencies inherent in the paper filing systems they replaced. The longer ago you installed your systems, the more likely this is to be the case. According to a 2014 study, 69% of credit unions are using a document imaging system that is more than five years old, and more than 81% also still use paper-based systems along with their electronic ones (Bluepoint Solutions).
Five years is a very long time in the life of electronic systems and devices. To put it in perspective, look at another familiar technology. Launched in 2010, Apple's iPad was the first widely adopted tablet device. This year, Gartner predicts that tablet sales will outstrip PC sales. Technology doesn't remain static and neither do the habits of its users. Just as few of us still sit at our desks every time we use our tablets, it makes little sense to continue to use document management technology that perpetuates legacy, highly fractured, physical and digital data silos.
Manage documents the way you conduct business.
Up-to-date document imaging systems have moved away from department-centric or file type-centric to member-centric file structures, which place every document for a single member into that member's file, regardless of type or origin—receipts, loans, statements, member cards, even audio or visual recordings. Member-centric systems are the key to giving authorized employees immediate access to any member information they need, just by searching the member's number or name.
In addition, with a member-centric system, employees now have access to a holistic view of the member's relationship with your credit union, potentially turning every interaction into an opportunity to build and deepen this relationship.
Better than new.
Back in 2012, Blue Eagle Credit Union, with four branches in the Roanoke, VA area and 11,650 members, needed a faster way to respond to members. The credit union had spent the last several years replacing two paper-heavy processes with an electronic loan origination system and e-signature services. But the majority of its documents were still paper and were stored by type in the originating branch location. In 2013, the credit union implemented an enterprise content management (ECM) system based on a member-centric file structure. They succeeded in increasing member response time and service levels, and watched as their members visited any branch and left with all the information and paperwork they came for. No more multiple trips to the branch for members; no more multiple file searches for employees. Read more about Blue Eagle's journey in the full case study.
The bottom line about member-centric systems.
Remember Maria, who had to wait hours or days for the credit union to search its fractured storage silos and compile her statements, receipts and loan documents? Consolidating all of these different documents into a single, member-centric file saves hours of labor (costs) and turns Maria's disappointment into cheerful satisfaction.

The two primary thoughts that hit
our mind on hearing the name of Gujarat is diversity in tradition and colors of
culture. Yes, the home to age-old folk Diasporas has still not lost its
original and creative niche in spite of the first decade being a watershed
period in the new millennium.
Amid times of historic growth and
global development all around the state of Gujarat, it has still managed to
retain and further strengthen its unique flavor of local festivals and fairs.
As much as the emergence of industrial plants and refineries has attracted
global investment, the traditional Rann Utsav Gujarat still continues to attract
a lot of admirers and prompt them to book Gujarat tour packages in India.
is Rann Utsav?
The Rann Utsav held in Gujarat is a
month-long fiesta of carefree and national vigor; it is celebrated during full
moon winters each year. The existing generations take a couple of leaps forward,
while the rest enjoy being a part of the magical experience. This year, the
festival is slated to be held on 9th December 2011 to mid of January
2012. A widespread arrangement of vigil and facility for all enthusiasts has
already started taking shape. Other then patrons thronging the event from
across the length and breadth of the country, it also attracts a strong
presence of foreigners from both the West as well as the Oz.
to Expect at the Rann Utsav?
Rann Utsav is synonymous with a
series of events that is earnestly awaited by the entire community. Coming at
the peak of the festive season right after Navratri and Diwali, this marks the
end of a hectic quarter for whole some frolic and enjoyment. Be it dancing to
the tunes and ambience of the local folk music or the art and crafts that
define the race of the Gujarati spirit, it is an all-consuming experience.
The ethnicity of the local milieu
comes face to face with the visiting tourists. From a spell-bounding array of
fabrics (that are collected from deep interiors and have great demand among
foreigners) to some mesmerizing gourmet, the tourist is left craving for more.
The greed of taste buds comes along with the vagaries of the belly; however,
this is the time of the year to give in to your lust for exotic and to- die-for
Exploring a
New World
Hailing from the very typical background of Kutch region in
interior Gujarat, this extravaganza of Rann Utsav in Gujarat
is associated with the integration and amalgamation of a host of distinct
endeavor. In line with a plethora of engrossing activity, the ardent visitor
also gets to travel to the outskirts of rural Gujarat. In the process, he gets
to identify the platform that finds the right blend of all human emotions and
habitat. People flock from far and wide to add to the spectacle of indigenous
fairs and also book unique honeymoon tours in Gujarat.
The people are common laymen who struggle to sustain the pressures of
life; however, all get lost in the fervor that is found here. The flamboyancy
of this whole month is too overpowering for any soul to ignore and not be
altogether swept away.

It's definitely time to book summer travel, as anyone in a location by a beach or theme park is painfully aware.
Summer movie blockbusters don't wait for Memorial Day weekend, but even underwhelming films can break $100 million in the U.S. in those four days.
With temperatures heating up, there are deals to be had on swank vacation spots this Memorial Day and beyond.
Mother's Day, Memorial Day and countless graduations make May a surprisingly busy retail month, but deals abound.

These planners are mostly designed and customized in Microsoft Excel format.
Monthly planners are also quite similar to daily planners in terms of functionality and design but they contain more high level description of future planning like foreign visits, health checkups etc. They do not contain exact date and time details of specific activities.

A 24 hour daily planner is nothing but a high level congregation of most of the other planners.

If I Could Be with You (One Hour Tonight)
|"If I Could Be with You (One Hour Tonight)"
|Composer: James P. Johnson
Lyricist: Henry Creamer
"If I Could Be with You (One Hour Tonight)" is a popular song.
The music was written by James P. Johnson, the lyrics by Henry Creamer. The song was published in 1926 and first recorded by Clarence Williams' Blue Five with vocalist Eva Taylor in 1927.[1] It was popularized by the 1930 recording by McKinney's Cotton Pickers, who used it as their theme song.[2]
The song has become a standard, with recordings by many artists, including Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Tony Bennett, Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Harry James, Kay Starr, and Frank Sinatra. Years after leaving her song-and-dance persona behind at MGM, actress Joan Crawford softly sings a few bars of the song to herself as a down-on-her-luck carnival dancer early in the Warner Bros. classic melodrama Flamingo Road (1949). The film's composer, Max Steiner, expands fragments of the song throughout that film. The song also appears in Casablanca.
This song was whistled and sometimes sung (partially) on a few occasions by Jack Lemmon as "Ensign Pulver" (to himself) during the 1955 film Mister Roberts.

Canada reports August job losses
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's economy surprised markets by reporting net job losses in August, overshadowing other signs the economy was making a comeback after a bleak second quarter, and keeping central bank rate hikes off the table.
The unemployment rate rose in the month to 7.3 percent from 7.2 percent, Statistics Canada said on Friday.
Net job losses totaled 5,500, far worse than the median market forecast of a gain of 25,000 and matching only the most bearish estimate in a Reuters survey of 23 analysts.
Canada's job market has appeared healthier than in the United States since the recession, but the latest numbers are more in line with sobering U.S. employment reports that prompted U.S. President Barack Obama to propose a $447 billion jobs package on Thursday to jump-start the sagging economy.
"Disappointing," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.
"We are seeing the lagged effect of the economy contracting slightly in the second-quarter on labor markets now," he said.
The Canadian dollar dropped to C$0.9551 against the U.S. dollar, or $1.0049, compared to C$0.9927, or $1.0074, heading into the release.
However, some of the details from Canada were less grim, with 25,700 full-time jobs created versus a loss of 31,200 part-time positions. Hiring was strong in the public sector and in services industries.
The economy has generated 223,000 net jobs in the past year, or a 1.3 percent increase. As of April this year, it had recovered all the full-time jobs lost during the recession. Continued...

Moreau shines in film on family's Holocaust trauma
By Kerstin Gehmlich
BERLIN (Reuters) - Eighty-year-old French actress Jeanne Moreau says shooting her new film about a family's struggle to talk about the Holocaust brought back memories of her own childhood during the Nazi occupation.
"Plus Tard Tu Comprendras," called "Later" in English, by Israeli director Amos Gitai, recounts the story of the middle-aged Victor, who tries to get his mother, played by Moreau, to talk about her childhood and her parents' death in Auschwitz.
"It was very intense," the petite and elegant Moreau told reporters at the Berlin Film Festival on Monday. "I was born in 1928, I went through the occupation.
"In my school, I had friends who wore the yellow star and who just disappeared. That was daily life."
Moreau's film character, Rivka, struggles to put the horrors of the past into words even though her son puts pressure on her.
An opening scene shows Rivka in 1987, preparing a meal while a TV broadcast is playing of the trial of Klaus Barbie, dubbed the "butcher of Lyon" and held responsible for the torture and murder of hundreds of civilians as Gestapo chief.
Rivka's son Victor, a married father of two, follows the Barbie hearings on the radio at his office.
But as mother and son meet at Rivka's apartment for dinner later in the day, the trial becomes a taboo issue. Continued...
