Better Homes and Gardens has made some big changes at the top of the masthead, including a new food hire as the parent company deepens its commitment to that subject.
The company hired food editor vet Laurie Buckle for a new position called BHG Food Content Core, where she'll develop cross-platform food content. Buckle previously had been the chief editor of Fine Cooking. She's also had editing stints at Bon Appétit and Food Network Magazine.
Elsewhere, the Meredith flagship filled the large void created when Kitty Morgan left recently to relocate to San Francisco. Morgan was one of Meredith's star editors; she joined BHG in 2006 as executive editor, having been an editor at two of the industry's most successful launches in recent history, O, the Oprah Magazine; and Every Day With Rachael Ray.
Oma Blaise Ford, a home editor at BHG, was promoted to replace her. She'll report to Gayle Butler, editor in chief.

Dinosaurs may technically be extinct, but Fernbank Museum makes it's own rules this weekend, with their annual Dinosaur Egg Hunt. And you can always visit the museum after you finish hunting for those coveted eggs. In it's fourth year, there are some tips for egg-hunters. The main one: get there on time - early if you can. It's a popular event and you have to pay or show your membership before you can line up, so don't be searching for a parking place while your kid misses out on the hunt. And after you're through, go into the museum. I know I mentioned it already, but you might be tempted to take your cranky kid home immediately after. Don't succumb. They'll cheer right up when you walk inside - I promise. If I'm wrong, I'll buy you a chocolate bunny to make up for it.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Oncology biotech stocks were among the best performers in the market in 2013. Even as the year drew to a close, stocks such as Galena Biopharma (GALE), CytRx (CYTR), and Northwest Biotherapeutics (NWBO) delivered triple digit returns in just a few weeks' time. Now that they have risen sharply, it is more important than ever to understand what has been driving the share prices and what will continue to influence their directions going forward.
Here we'll is an overview of what these companies provide in terms of onco-drug technology. At present I have no position in any of these stocks and I am deliberately refraining from expressing any bull or bear opinions on any of these stocks. But I continue to focus on all three quite closely.
Galena Biopharma
Galena is noteworthy because it is attempting to bring to market a pain relief treatment ("Abstral") as well as a cancer intervention. Abstral launched in October 2013 and the company projects revenue of $40 million to $60 million within five years.
Galena also has a pipeline of oncology drugs that have piqued investor interest, all centered on key technology Neuvax.
Neuvax is a novel cancer immunotherapy which targets the HER2 protein, and has potentially promising results in Phase I and Phase II FDA trials. What makes Neuvax and other immunotherapies different from chemotherapy drugs is that instead of killing cancer cells with the HER2 protein directly, Neuvax trains the body's immune system to identify and kill cancer cells with the HER2 protein. Galena is currently running a phase III FDA multinational trial with 700 patients for the use of Neuvax in breast cancer.
Galena is also running a phase IIb trial that combines Neuvax with Herceptin by Roche.
Galena has other products further away from FDA approval including a controlled release formulation of anagrelide and a folate binding protein treatment for ovarian cancer.
Since early November 2013, Galena is up more than 100 % from roughly $2.25. There have been a number of recent developments. The company brought Abstral to market, it bought Mills pharmaceuticals, it signed several deals such as this one, and obtained equity research coverage from Oppenheimer.

An eastern Ohio grand jury is ready to begin hearing from witnesses and examining evidence in the case of a 16-year-old girl raped by two high school football players.
The grand jury scheduled to start work Tuesday in Steubenville is investigating whether other laws were broken in connection with the rape.
That could include situations where adults like coaches or school administrators knew of the rape allegation but failed to report it as required by Ohio law.
Investigators issued search warrants at the high school and local school board offices Thursday.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says nothing is off the table for the 14-person grand jury.
A judge convicted the teens in March of raping the West Virginia girl after an alcohol-fueled party last August.

A Ballpark Birthday
West Michigan Whitecaps vs. Peoria Chiefs (Midwest League)
Fifth Third Ballpark-Comstock Park, MI: I had the night off from work, rare for a Thursday, so I decided to take the boys downstate for a ballgame for my birthday. What can be better than a birthday at the ballpark with family, right? When we got to the ballpark, the team had a dunk tank out front, so this gave the boys a chance to show off their arms a bit and dunking a couple of the Whitecaps players.
The giveaway was an Oyo (like Lego?) figure of Whitecaps outfielder Ben Verlander (now with the Connecticut Tigers). Brian loved this, and had to get one put together right away with a little help from his Papa. The kid is starting to become a master builder, if there ever was one!
We still had time before the first pitch for Brian to play on the playground, also, while Trevor and I watched the Whitecaps warm up.
As a birthday bonus, the Fox Sports Detroit Girls were on hand to mingle with fans, also. They were nice enough to sign a baseball for my birthday and Trevor had his picture taken with them. The boys had their hats signed, but Brian was too shy for a picture. Stephanie and Angela each threw out a first pitch, too.
And finally on to some baseball! The game itself, though, only lasted just over six hours, with the pitching leading the way. For West Michigan, Jonathon Crawford threw five solid innings, giving up one earned run, one walk, one strikeout, and giving up only four hits. Will LaMarche came in to pitch three innings, striking out three, and only giving up one hit. Scott Sitz earned the save by pitching a scoreless ninth. Dominic Ficociello led the way offensively, going 3-4 with three runs scored and two doubles. Francisco Contreras was 1-3 with two RBIs, while shortstop Willy Adames knocked in a run, also. Catcher Grayson Greiner added two hits in the game as well. It's always good to have the Whitecaps win, especially on my birthday. I hope my schedule works out so we can make it back down this way and see them in the playoffs. This was a great birthday at the ballpark, and I'm very blessed and lucky to have spent the day with my boys and dad. We need to drag Lily down to another game this summer, though. Final: Whitecaps 3, Chiefs 1.

The Tigers win the Pennant
The title pretty much says it all. With such a roller coaster ride in the regular season, it's very gratifying to see the Tigers win the pennant and go back to the World Series. Although the bats were broke out in game 4, it was the starting pitching that really got this team here. The Yankees are not easy opponents, and two of the three games were won in extra innings. Yes I wanted the sweep, I wanted a route, but not because I'm a Yankee hater or anything. I simply respect the fact that they have the talent that can win, no matter what the score or the series. If the Tigers let up one bit, the Yanks might have extended this series. The 8-1 win gave Tiger fans a chance to relax just a little, and enjoy the road to the World Series in this one game. Of course the Tigers couldn't have done it without a few former Whitecaps that worked their way up the chain to the big team's roster. In yesterday's game Avisail Garcia went 2-5 with an RBI, Omar Infante went 2-5 with two runs scored, and Andy Dirks was 3-5. Granted, without Miggy's monster shot, Jhonny's two homers, and the ACLS MVP Delmon Young, Detroit wouldn't be celebrating tonight, but it's still fun to see the young guys help out. At this point it looks like another showdown with the St. Louis Cardinals is destined…and remember, it's the Tigers turn.

2010 Baseball Trip: Day 1-Davenport, IA
Quad Cities River Bandits vs. Burlington Bees: Our second game of the day took us to beautiful Modern Woodmen Park, home of the River Bandits. This ballpark was listed #1 on the Minor League 'must see' list, and it didn't disappoint. The bridge going over the mighty Mississippi River in right field was really breathtaking. It had already been a long day, so it was nice to sit back, relax with my $6 brat and beer, and enjoy the game. There were a lot of walks, so we were able to scout many pitching prospects during the game. The weather stayed nice for us, too. It was hard to concentrate on the game at times, as we'd get mesmerized by the bridge and river. A perfect night for baseball. Final: Bees 9, River Bandits 6. Best: The view. Great site lines with the bridge. Worst: Pricey concessions.

Sao Paulo subway system likely to be closed on World Cup opening day
Employees of the underground system of Sao Paulo will continue the strike until their salary is raised by 12.2 percent.
It is possible that the city's subway system may thus be closed on June 12, when the World Cup kicks off on Itakeran stadium in Sao Paulo. According to the organizers of the FIFA World Cup, it is the subway system that should serve as the main type of transport during the days of the championship.
"If no agreement is reached with the government of Sao Paulo, the subway will not work on Thursday," the general secretary of the trade union of subway workers, Alex Fernandes, told reporters.
Noteworthy, subway employees previously asked the authorities to raise their salaries by 35 percent. However, the management of underground system refuses to discuss an opportunity of salary raise by more than 8.7%.

In late 2010, the Boston Globe published a series of editorials which reflect on the Gateway Cities in Massachusetts. These mid-sized cities are so named because they have long been points of entry for newcomers and places where innovative entrepreneurial ideas can germinate into economic successes. The Globe series generally held Lowell to be a model of success among the Gateway Cities, while acknowledging as we do that there remain many challenges even in Lowell that cannot be adequately solved without assistance from the state and other partners, particularly in the areas of infrastructure construction and development finance. The Globe also asserts fairly that Gateway Cities must take initiative to combat their own problems rather than expecting to rely solely on outside help. Those that demonstrate professional and responsible progressive internal actions are those that deserve assistance to help close remaining gaps which may be beyond local control.
All of these themes resonate clearly in conjunction with the ongoing efforts of the City of Lowell's Department of Planning and Development (DPD) to create, preserve, and enhance the City as a great place to live, work, and play. Lowell has been recognized as a leader among the Gateway Cities for its redevelopment efforts over the past several decades, including the revitalization of over 2.6 million square feet of mills and other downtown buildings that were vacant in 2000, its development as a regional center for arts and culture, its status as a progressive leader in cultivating "green" economic development, and its ongoing welcoming of immigrants and their entrepreneurial ideas into the community.
Despite a particularly tough economic climate, 2010 has seen the continuation of many of these successes, highlighted by the opening of Lowe's, significant construction progress with both the first building and the infrastructure serving the Hamilton Canal District, groundbreakings for major construction projects at UMass Lowell and Lowell General Hospital, and the growth of several unique business ventures. These include Telles's development of bio-sourced plastics, Xenith's efforts to reduce concussions among football players through new helmet designs, and Moms & Jobs's efforts to combine business success with social values by training and employing low-income single mothers. Lowell also looks forward to starting 2011 by welcoming new businesses in medical records technology and solar energy engineering to the City.
Like all Gateway Cities, Lowell still faces many challenges, which DPD is proud to have a role in combating. These include:
- Unacceptable unemployment rates which are impacting households and communities with a host of related problems. Fortunately, Lowell has maintained its employment base during the recession more successfully than most of the surrounding suburban communities, but suffers from higher unemployment among its residents, many of whom formerly worked in neighboring towns. DPD staff continues to work hard to retain major employers like Cobham, while helping businesses like Nobis and Unwrapped expand, and new ventures like Cristek and DiagnosisOne relocate to Lowell. We are also working to support institutions like Lowell General Hospital, UMass Lowell, Middlesex Community College, and Lowell Community Health Center grow, creating additional new jobs in the City. DPD is also working to advance projects like the Hamilton Canal District and Tanner Street Initiative which will create the sites to accommodate the next generation of economic development and job creation.
- Disproportionate rates of residential mortgage foreclosures are impacting Lowell's housing stock and neighborhoods. DPD's Development Services group has launched a multi-faceted effort including proactive inspections, aggressive enforcement of the vacant and foreclosing property ordinance, fining of non-compliant lenders, and development of a receivership program to mitigate this problem in the City.
- Energy price instability, resource supplies, and global climate change issues have caused everyone to need to recognize that sustainability must become a core value and guiding principle as opposed to a luxury of those communities with access to greater resources. In 2010, DPD staff have led efforts to implement a $21 million energy services contract to improve the energy efficiency of City buildings, help the City adopt the stretch energy code and obtain designation as a Green Community, and received a highly-competitive $5 million federal grant to launch a program to retrofit historic downtown buildings for energy conservation. Next year, DPD looks forward to continuing these efforts and managing the public process to update our comprehensive master plan with an overall emphasis on economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
- Gateway City downtowns that once were the shopping and commercial centers of their regions have had to reinvent themselves as active mixed-use neighborhoods. Lowell continues to lead in this regard, with the successful occupancy of the Lofts at Perkins Place in 2010. Two major downtown planning projects are expected to extend into 2011. Provided funding can be secured, DPD hopes to begin implementing the transportation recommendations of the Downtown Evolution Plan in the Spring, including restoration of two-way traffic on several streets and the introduction of bicycle lanes serving Downtown and the City's two higher education institutions. DPD is also part of a coalition that is continuing to explore the expansion of Lowell's streetcar system from a National Park visitor amenity into a public transit service.
- Professional and progressive municipal management is also an essential component of future success for Gateway Cities. As a key part of the City Administration's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency and performance of municipal government, DPD was part of a major reorganization in 2010. This effort consolidated Lowell's permitting, code enforcement, and project review functions into DPD's new Division of Development Services which is already making strides to improve customer services, internal coordination, and consistency of permitting and code enforcement functions with planning efforts.
There are also several trends which suggest that 2011 will see incremental improvements. Housing prices appear to have stabilized and new petitions for foreclosures declined significantly at the end of 2010. Unemployment rates are down and hiring is increasing slowly both nationally and locally. Lowell also was able to retain its employment base throughout the recession to a greater degree than most of its peer communities or suburban neighbors, which should position the City well as the economy recovers.
Longer term trends in sustainability, demographics, and market preferences continue to point to demand for urban development which will benefit well-managed, well-planned, and attractive cities nationwide that enjoy positive reputations highlighted by quality of life amenities and authentic character. Lowell and other Gateway Cities in Massachusetts can take advantage of these trends with the added benefit of real estate prices that are considerably more affordable than the region in general. Neither Lowell nor its peers can succeed without partnerships with our private sector businesses, institutional leaders, and the state government. Fortunately, Lowell has always thrived on these partnerships and DPD will continue to work to cultivate and strengthen them in 2011.

A year after being bounced early in the Golden State Athletic Conference Tournament, the Master's College made sure everyone knew they had moved on and that this was a different season.
Jacquelyn Marshall, named to the All-conference team on Tuesday, led the way for the Mustangs, scoring 22 points and pulling down nine rebounds in her team's 77-50 win over visiting San Diego Christian College on Wednesday.
Despite last year's early exit, The Mustangs (23-7) still advanced to the NAIA National Tournament last year and they hope to get back to that point.
But on Wednesday, the Mustangs were focused solely on this year's team.
"We're just trying to get better," said Mustangs head coach Dan Waldeck. "Obviously you want to come out and defend your home court. San Diego made a run at the beginning of the second half and we responded well. I think we played well."
The Mustangs jumped out to an early 12-5 lead midway through the first half, holding the Eagles (11-17) at arms length and leading 39-23 going into the half.
But SDCC opened up the second half on a 9-2 run, cutting the Mustangs' lead to 41-34. That's when the conference's second most potent offense started to step up. Over an eight minute period, TMC had scored 15 points while holding the Eagles to just three and pushing their lead to 56-37.
The Mustangs held SDCC to just 30 percent shooting on the game and forced 17 turnovers. Their full-court pressure led to steals and easy layups that helped widen the gap.
Whitney Best forced two steals and was the second-leading scorer for the Mustangs with 16. Their second all-conference selection, Zoe Scott, scored six points and had two blocks and a steal.
"We wanted to play up-tempo and push the ball but their defense really hurt us," said Eagles head coach Jerry Irving. "It made it tough for us to score. Tough for us to get into our offense. They did a great job of keeping us uncomfortable."
With the win, TMC moves on to the semifinals where they will face Westmont. They've split their previous games with the Warriors, losing 59-54 on Jan. 28 and winning 68-46 on Feb. 18.
The game will be held at TMC on Friday.

We just caught our first glimpse of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's firstborn child. The 30-year-old new mom told Life & Style how they picked their son's name — Mason Dash Disick.
"The first time I started looking at baby names, Mason was the only one I liked," Kourtney explains. "It was the only one that stuck with me. Right before he was born, I told my aunt we were thinking about going with that for a name. She told me that Mason means the same thing in English that Kardashian means in Armenian — stone worker. Another aunt told me my great uncle used to use the name Mason when he made dinner reservations, because Kardashian was too long. When I heard that, I thought, Oh my god, it's meant to be."
And what about the middle name, Dash? "Dash is not for my clothing store, as some people have suggested online," says Kourtney. "That would be stupid. Dash is short for Kardashian, and it was my father's nickname." And as for Mason's nicknames? "We call him Mase and Baby Mason. And then all of the cutesy names: Gorgeous, Precious, Munchkin, Angel," Kourtney proudly states.

Interim leader names panel to amend constitution
CAIRO — Egypt's interim president selected a team of legal experts on Saturday to rewrite controversial portions of the Islamist-drafted constitution, as the military-backed leadership moved quickly to try to capitalize on the coup that ousted the country's first freely elected leader.
While supporters of former President Mohamed Morsy protest in the streets, Egypt's prime minister called for consensus and participation of all political groups. But Morsy's Muslim Brotherhood group officially has refused to negotiate with the government, saying they are open for talks only after he is reinstated.
Moves to amend the constitution are the latest push by the country's leadership to move ahead with a military-backed timetable for a return to democratic rule for Egypt.
In his decree, interim President Adly Mansour appointed the 10-member committee of judges and law professors that will propose amendments to the constitution. They have 30 days to suggest amendments. A second committee, comprised of 50 public figures, then will have 60 days to review those amendments.
After that, citizens will vote on the proposed amendments in a referendum, according to the military-backed timetable.

A core component of a Sacred Heart education is showing students the world and giving them the tools necessary to make an impact as an individual. In order to do this, we collaborate as a faculty to incorporate signature experiences within our program. We strengthen our students understanding of the world from working with our local ecology center to creating virtual classrooms with students in the U.S. and across the globe.
We believe that a curriculum is a living, breathing work in progress. It is continually assessed to ensure that we are providing our children a program of the highest quality. That's why we have created our Oak Hill Makerspace to allow children to participate in problem-based learning. We also have a Director of Student Activities to provide opportunities for our students to engage in activities which enhance our program, socially and academically. After school, we offer our extended-care program, Acorn Club, so our students can explore a variety of extra-curricular activities in conjunction with our other after-school programs.
As Sacred Heart educators, we take pride in our commitment to provide programs which educate our students in their spiritual, academic, and personal growth. The fostering of a strong foundation in the Sacred Heart Goals and Criteria and the nurturing of our students to share their talents and care for others will ultimately result in individuals who are of strong character and will make a positive impact in our world.

Victory Mills – I Want To Write You A Theme Song, But Do You Still Exist?
I'm happy to be back from a great vacation, but chomping at the bit to write a new "Your Town Thursday" theme song. I had a request from a listener to do one for Victory Mills, but I have a question first.
I know where it is. It's in Saratoga County near Schuylerville. But I also was told by a Facebook "friend" that I had better write the song before April 1st, because the town is in danger of being dissolved. I googled this subject, but haven't seen any definite decision one way or another. If someone out there can set me straight on this, it would help me a lot before I start writing this.
Now if the town is still going strong, then I would love it if you could share some info about it. Here's the type of stuff I'd be looking for:
Name of the Town (duhh)
What it's best known for?
Well known attractions or businesses (I can actually sneak you in a free plug!)
Funny quirks (the red light in the middle of town hasn't worked in 10 years etc)
Quick historical facts (don't get all "Wikipedia" on me- just a few bullet points will do)
You can copy and paste this into an email and send to firstname.lastname@example.com, or just put the answers in the comment section! The song will air on Thursday's Sean and Richie Show, typically between 8:45-8:50am. It will also be on this website on one of my blogs.
And if you have photos to go with your facts, by all means send them to the same email.
If you'd like to hear songs done in the past, you can by going to the "Your Town" archives. Thanks, folks.

The Letter: John Key behind closed doors
The Letter - 28 April 2014
John Key behind closed doors
At the Epsom fundraiser for David Seymour, John Key gave a demonstration of why he is the most popular Prime Minister in the history of polling. Key totally wowed the sold out function, which included many influential supporters The Letter has not seen at an ACT function for more than five years.
Key's analysis
The Prime Minister gave an impressive analysis of the present political situation. He said in essence that MMP is a pig of a system. While 90 percent of voters think that National will win the election, it is statistically possible for the "coalition of the unwilling", Labour/Greens/NZ1/Mana-Internet parties to win power. There is and always will be a group of voters who want lower taxes, less red tape and more personal freedom. Many of these voters are not happy that National has moved to the centre. If ACT did not exist these voters may stay home. John Key's message was he needed those voters to vote ACT for him to remain Prime Minister.
Defending the Centre
The Prime Minister made a vigorous defence of his government saying that in the budget National will be forecasting a surplus whereas in the Australian budget, presented the day before, Key predicted there will be a deficit of trillions of dollars for years to come. The two budgets illustrated the cost of Labour governments' spending. In Australia as recently as 2007 there had been no net Federal debt. National will be able to point to 70 thousand beneficiaries having gone off welfare and to Treasury predictions of strong economic growth.
National's polling
John Key confessed one of New Zealand's worst kept secrets that National is addicted to polling and polls every week. This is how they know voters think National is going to win. National polls show "David Cunliffe has failed to connect with voters. In Christchurch Cunliffe is polling at minus 63 percent. This unfavourable rating puts him behind Russell Norman and Winston Peters". A 63% unfavourable rating in Labour voting Christchurch means most Labour voters do not like their leader. Cunliffe has no cross party appeal. Every time he appears on TV he loses Labour votes. In the tough minded Australian Labor Party faced with this situation with Julia Gillard the caucus held its nose and re-elected Kevin Rudd who they hated.
What Key did not say
The Letter thought it is highly significant that John Key having admitted National polls everything did not share how National's polling was on Shane Jones. The polling in Labour's leadership primary revealed that Shane Jones is not only Labour's most popular MP but that he has the cross party appeal that a leader must have to grow his party's vote. National has cynically taken out the only Labour politician who could have been a real threat.
Dance of the seven veils
Shane Jones has not retired but just announced he is retiring. He is giving weeks of retirement interviews, "a Countdown retirement party" and valedictory. Jones is sucking the oxygen out of the opposition's airtime while making, as John Key observed, much tougher hits on Russell Norman than the PM has managed. Labour made what they thought was important policy announcements last week that the media did not cover, so neither will we.
Self- inflicted wounds
John Key's analysis of Labour's poor performance is their failure to be on message and self- absorption on issues of interest to Wellington. Issues like Oravida just do not bother voters. The Letter thinks David Cunliffe's problems are deeper seated and were illustrated on TV3 news last Wednesday when the news of the Shane Jones retirement broke. David Cunliffe appeared on TV saying that Jones retirement had "absolutely" nothing to do with any concerns Jones had with Labour. Jones appeared next setting out his concerns including his unwillingness to serve in a cabinet that included Greens. Cunliffe appeared to be either a fool or a liar or both. Imagine David Cunliffe had said "Shane Jones has been unhappy for some time. He hates the fact that under MMP parties have to work with other parties. I do not like it myself but that is the system we have. Given Shane's views he has made the right decision".
Stay on message
John Key's message to ACT was stay on message. He claimed that during the 2005 election he wrote while showering each morning of the campaign on the shower door S O M. Stay on Message. If ACT campaigns on message of lower taxes, less red tape and more personal responsibility John Key predicts that ACT will do well. It was a message that the Letter could not have put better.
Helen Clark's legacy
Clark was addicted to polling. Labour had weekly polls and in election year daily tracking polls. It gave Labour a huge advantage. An advantage John Key resolved National must have. We have no doubt legal highs appeared as an issue in National's polling and National has decided to take it off the agenda. Our drug laws are a mess but we must S O M.
Alternative Budget
Jamie Whyte has almost finished work on an alternative budget. While Jamie agrees bringing the budget back into surplus is an achievement, government spending is still higher than any Cullen budget. Taxes are too high. There is too much red tape. Government is doing things that are best left to citizens to do for themselves. Government debt is too high. Despite record milk prices the nation is still running a trade deficit. Dr Whyte has set out a budget showing how New Zealand can close the gap with Australia which was National's election promise. John, be careful what you wish for.

To the surprise of no one, Benedict XVI has
appointed Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone of Genoa, who worked alongside
then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger from 1995 to 2003 as the secretary of the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, to be his new Secretary of
The move makes Bertone, 71, the most powerful
figure in the Vatican after Benedict XVI himself. Since the era of Paul
VI, the Secretariat of State has played the role of a "super-dicastery,"
to some extent coordinating the work of all the other departments of the
Vatican. It is also responsible for the Vatican's relations with states,
hence its "foreign policy."
Bertone will officially assume his duties Sept. 15. He replaces
Cardinal Angelo Sodano, who has held the post for 15 years.
Bertone is not a product of the Vatican's diplomatic corps, and thus
reflects the priority of doctrinal concerns over diplomatic exigencies in
the pontificate of Benedict XVI. (French Cardinal Jean Villot, Secretary
of State under Pope Paul VI, was the last man to hold the post who did not
have a diplomatic background, but the context was different, since Paul VI
himself had served most of his career in the Secretariat of State).
Benedict has also accepted the resignation of American Cardinal Edmund
Szoka as head of the Vatican City-State, appointing Archbishop Giovanni
Lajolo as his successor. Lajolo is currently Secretary for Relations with
States, effectively the Vatican's Foreign Minister.
Since Bertone may be expected to occupy himself more with the internal
governance of the church, the choice of Lajolo's successor could be
especially important for determining the diplomatic profile of the Holy
See under Benedict XVI. Candidates are rumored to include Archbishop
Fortunato Baldelli, currently the papal ambassador in France; Archbishop
Celestino Migliore, the Holy See's permanent observer at the United
Nations; and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin.
While at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Bertone was at
the heart of some of its best-known recent documents: the declaration
Dominus Iesus on religious pluralism; new rules of procedure for
investigations of theologians; a new profession of faith; and a document
on the role of Catholic politicians. Bertone was also involved in the
early stages of the congregation's response to the sexual abuse crisis,
after Pope John Paul II assigned it juridical responsibility for cases of
accused priests in 2001.
Bertone earned a reputation as a "fix-it" man under Ratzinger. He took
the lead in publishing the infamous "third secret" of Fatima, and also was
the point man for the Vatican during the soap opera in the summer of 2001
surrounding the on-again, off-again marriage of Zambian Archbishop
Emmanuel Milingo to a follower of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon.
A Salesian, Bertone did his license in theology on "tolerance and
religious liberty," destined to be critically important issues in
relationships with both Islam and China, and then completed a doctorate at
the Salesianum in Rome -- ironically, on the governance of the church
under another Pope Benedict, this one Benedict XIV. Bertone eventually
became the head of the canon law department at the Salesianum, and
participated in the revision of the Code of Canon Law in 1983. In 1988,
Ratzinger named Bertone as part of the commission that handled
negotiations with the breakaway Society of St. Pius X, known popularly as
the "Lefebvrites."
His academic ascent was rapid, and from 1989 to 1991 he served as the
rettore magnifico, roughly the chancellor, of the Salesianum. In
the early 1990s, Bertone was also tapped by the Secretariat of State as
part of a European commission designed to aid the newly emancipated
countries of Eastern Europe to prepare constitutional and legislative
In 1991, Bertone became Archbishop of Vercelli, a post he held until
his assignment in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Last year, Bertone earned international headlines by calling The Da
Vinci Code a "sack full of lies," and calling on Catholic booksellers
not to sell the book.
Bertone is a staunch conservative on doctrinal issues, and a man with a
very positive and optimistic spirit. In true Salesian fashion, he is good
at youth ministry, and has made outreach to the young a priority in Genoa.
One of his first outings as archbishop was to a local disco, where Bertone
was photographed on the dance floor. He has also taken a few turns at
providing color commentary during broadcasts of Italian soccer matches.
Bertone's appointment was widely expected, given his ties to the pope.
Benedict's emerging approach to top appointments seems to be to tap men
with whom he has a close relationship of trust, regardless of whether they
fit the traditional profile for the post. (This was the case, for example,
in his appointment of Cardinal William Levada as prefect of the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith).
Many in the Secretariat of State are nonplussed by the appointment,
since they regard a background in Vatican diplomacy, including a few tours
in postings around the world, as a sine qua non; one told me last
week that being Secretary of State is "no place for on-the-job training."
Currently, rumors in Rome suggest that Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re,
Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, may replace Bertone in Genoa. If
so, combined with the recent transfer of Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe from the
Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples to Naples, it would mean
the exit from the Vatican of the most senior officials associated with the
diplomatic corps, and would be widely read as "clipping of the wings" of
the church's diplomats in favor of officials with a stronger doctrinal
background. Sepe's replacement, Cardinal Ivan Dias of India, although a
longtime diplomat himself, is also known for a strong set of theological
convictions close to those of Benedict XVI.
The logic for Bertone's appointment, aside from his personal connection
to the pope, is no doubt that he can ensure that concerns of Catholic
identity trump the logic of compromise that is often the stuff of
diplomacy. Further, he's an Italian who knows the world of the Vatican
It will be interesting to see, especially in the early stages, if
Bertone's relative unfamiliarity with the inner workings of the
Secretariat of State renders him dependent upon the very diplomats he was
named to oversee. Such is sometimes the case with "outsider" appointments,
and hence observers will be paying careful attention for early assertions
of independence from the man who is now, in effect, the Vatican's Prime
One sign to watch for may be Bertone's line on China. As a Salesian, he
will have considerable sympathy for Cardinal Joseph Zen of Hong Kong, also
a Salesian. Under John Paul, the diplomatic corps was frequently leery of
Zen because of his outspoken challenges to Chinese authorities on
religious liberty, at a time when improved relations with China is a top
Vatican priority. Benedict's appointment of Zen as a cardinal suggested a
break with this atmosphere of caution, and Bertone's appointment may well
embolden Zen and the other critics of the Chinese authorities even further.

To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, check out this recipe for tamales! Olé!
For the Masa:
2 cups Masa Harina
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup vegan butter (melted)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 Tsp. baking powder
1 Tsp. Kosher salt
Mix it all up with a wooden spoon and refrigerate.
Can be made up to 3 days ahead.
For the Chile Colorado:
(for tamale filling and extra sauce as needed)
12 Dried Pasilla or Ancho chiles
3 cups (no chicken) chicken broth or strong vegetable broth
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 med yellow or white onion chopped
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. ground cumin
3 large cloves of garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds grilled vegetables (zucchini, corn, carrots, portabellas...)
1 1/2 pounds Gardien Chicken scallopini or Gardien Beef tips defrosted and cut into strips.
Working on one chile at a time, use a paring knife to cut a slit all the way down one side of a chile. Open up the chile and remove the stem and seeds. Remove as much of the veins as you can.
Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Flatten out the dried chiles as well as you can and place on the skillet to heat. Press down on the opened chiles and leave for a few seconds. Turn the chiles over and heat a few seconds more. You do not want to toast or burn the chilies, just heat them enough to draw out more of the flavor.
Place the chilies in a bowl and pour boiling water over them to cover. Let sit for 15 minutes, until softened. Meanwhile, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add oregano and cumin and sauté for one minute more.
Remove the chiles from the bowl and place in a blender. Discard the soaking liquid. Add the chicken or vegetable broth, and onion mixture. Puree until the sauce is completely smooth. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning.
In a bowl, add Gardien or vegetables and add just enough sauce to coat. Save the remaining sauce to enjoy with cooked Tamales.
NOTE: This mixture can be used as a great burrito filling as well!
For the Finished Tamales:
You will need:
2 Bags of Dry Corn Husks
Go through the corn husks removing any debris. Separate the larger, usable pieces from the smaller bits and pieces. Place the husks in a large bowl. Cover husks with warm water. Set a heavy item (like a heavy bowl) on top of the husks to keep them submerged. Remove the husks from the water and pat dry. Place into a covered dish or a large plastic bag to prevent from drying out. Use only the larger and medium sized husks for the tamales.
Lay a husk on a flat surface with the long end at the top. The husk will resemble a rudimentary triangle. Have the point or narrow end at the bottom. Place 2 - 3 tablespoons of dough onto the husk. Starting from the upper left hand corner spread the dough about 4" across and 3" down. Try to keep the dough approximately 1/4 inch thick. Spread about a tablespoon of filling down the center of the dough.
From the masa covered left, fold the husk over the filling. Take the bottom of the husk and fold it up towards the top. Wrap the extra husk around the tamale and lay it flat, seam side down. NOTE: This method saves time by eliminating the need to tie up the tamales.
Set tamales upright in a steamer. You can buy large steamers made just for this purpose or you can rig something up. The idea is to have a small amount of boiling water on the bottom of the pot and a colander or mesh of some sort to keep the tamales away from the water. Cover the tamales loosely with more husks and a good fitting lid.
Steam for about 90 minutes. Serve with extra sauce.
- Do not eat corn husks.
- Do not let the water boil up completely. Add hot water to the pot as necessary, but keep it away from the tamales.
- If some of the husks are too small or you have trouble closing them, use extra pieces of husk to wrap around the open areas.
- Tamales last 3 days in the refrigerator, and 2 months frozen.
- Relax, this should be fun!

Beating out Elizabeth Falkner in the finale, the New York chef says it's 'extremely humbling to be an Iron Chef.'
It's another battle on another TV show on Sunday, December 18. While the final three castaways pled their win on "Survivor: South Pacific", the remaining two chefs on "The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs" showed off their cooking skill and made the best dishes for the judges.
Taking place in the Kitchen Stadium, Geoffrey Zakaria and Elizabeth Falkner faced off each other in the finale. Iron Chefs Bobby Flay and Masaharu Morimoto came as guest judges, joining regular judges Simon Majumdar, Judy Joo and Michael Symon.
The two finalists had to make holiday meal using secret ingredients including beef crown roast, candy canes, clementines, acorn & butternut squash, salt cod, brussels sprouts, unfiltered apple cider and parsnips. They must create three Christmas theme dishes with those ingredients.
After 14 minutes passed, the Chairman revealed the first surprise which forced them to use cranberries as another theme ingredient they must create a dish with. On the positive side, they were given a chance to pick one former competitor from the audience as an additional sous chef for 15 minutes for each side of the kitchen. Zakaria and Falkner agreed to choose Alex Guarnaschelli.
When 30 minutes already passed, the Chairman revealed the second surprise which was to create a frozen dessert using the ice cream machine. With only 15 minutes remaining, the pressure got higher after the Chairman announced the third surprise which told the two competing chefs to make a "holiday-themed" cocktail served in a martini glass.
After tasting the dishes presented by both Chef Zakaria and Chef Falkner, the judges weighed in on the two finalists before picking their personal winner. It was later announced that Zakaria won over Falkner. Commenting on his victory, the New York chef who had also competed on "Iron Chef America" said it's "extremely humbling to be an Iron Chef."

In the Dark Ages, princesses exfoliated with Fabergé-egg dust and filed fingernails on the edges of gold doubloons. Revel in more modern and luxurious beauty treatments with this Groupon.
$39 for Seven Days of Spa Services (Up to $546 Value)
Spa-goers can enjoy up to two customized spa services per day, from hydromassages to SlimCapsule sessions. Patrons incur additional costs for certain services: the luminous facial requires an extra $10 fee; customized teeth whitening requires a $99 professional teeth-whitening kit; and the Mystic HD spray tan requires an $18–$24 bronzer cartridge.
Planet Beach Contempo Spa
A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all of the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray-tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.

In yesterday's post Is Facebook Losing Its Effectiveness for Businesses, Nonprofits & Churches? we looked at how Facebook has made changes that are now causing only a small percentage of the people who like a Facebook page to see the updates posted by that organization (unless you want to pay Facebook to promote each post).
It is worth noting that the number of people who see each update varies greatly. In the examples cited in yesterday's post, the most viewed updates were seen by about 3 times as many people as the least viewed updates. That begs the question…
Why are some updates seen more than others? And what if anything can we do to increase the number of people who see each update?
Facebook decides who sees what updates based on an algorithm called EdgeRank.
The company Wildfire recently analyized over 60,000 Facebook brand pages and 1 million posts and published their analysis in a whitepaper titled EdgeRank and Your Brand. United Methodist Communications took that whitepaper and boiled it down to an extremely insightful blog post.
Here's how the UMComm post explains EdgeRank…
The EdgeRank algorithm consists of three main factors: affinity, weight and time decay (read Facebook Timeline: Explained and debunked for a better definition). Briefly, when you post content that "weighs" more (i.e. photos), your "affinity" score (based on your page's popularity) goes up. Time decay scores continually decrease, but if people "share" your post, then it has a longer shelf life. Each "share" resets the "time decay" meter for that specific "share" and creates more engagement.
It's also important to note that Wildfire found photos to be the most engaging type of content followed by videos and then status updates and finally links. Including more than one kind of content in an update improved engagement.
There's lots more great info in the blog post and whitepaper, which I highly recommend reading, but I want to keep this post short and wrap it up with some very practical advice…
7 Tactics for Getting your Facebook Content Seen by More People
1) Post photos and videos from organization events. When you do, tag the people in the photo/video. That will encourage them to like, comment & share the media.
2) When posting an announcement, include an image and a link to where a person can take action.
3) Ask questions. This encourages comments and discussions, and the more comments the higher the EdgeRank and the more people who will see it.
4) Include calls to action with your updates like "Please like and share this post with your friends!"
5) Post at optimal times. Chances are if you post to Facebook at 2 AM few people are going to see the update. But when do most of your folks view Facebook? First thing in the morning? During business hours? Evenings? It depends on your organization, so experiment and measure results.
6) Organize and email/text your virtual street team. Put together a core group of 5-10 people who love your organization, are engaged in social media and want to promote your content. Then immediately after you post something to Facebook, email or text the team and ask them to like/comment/share. Their engagement will increase an update's EdgeRank causing other people to see it.
7) Tailor your content for each social media platform. People engage with content differently on Facebook and Twitter. Don't simply copy and paste a tweet into Facebook (or use a tool like Hootsuite to post to several social media sites at once.)
- What are your thoughts on EdgeRank and these suggestions for getting content seen by more people?
- Are you going to start implementing any of them?
- Got any other suggestions?

Things around here have been so crazy busy I'm not even entirely sure I know what my name is any more, much less anything else. The thing is, I love it. This is how life is supposed to be, with me not having time to do much else besides work, eat, sleep, and occasionally swing by my pub for a beverage on my way home at the end of a long day on those rare occasions when I got out early enough and get to go in comparatively late. These are the days I've missed a great deal the last few years with all the medical nonsense that kept happening.

BOYS AND GIRLS Makes US Premiere at 59E59 Theaters, 9/3-28
59E59 Theaters (Elysabeth Kleinhans, Artistic Director; Peter Tear, Executive Producer; Brian Beirne, Managing Director) welcomes Murmur Productions with the US premiere of BOYS AND GIRLS, written and directed by Dylan Coburn Gray. Part of Origin's 1st Irish at 59E59 Theaters, BOYS AND GIRLS begins performances on Wednesday, September 3 for a limited engagement through Sunday, September 28. Press opening is Sunday, September 7 at 7:15 PM. The performance schedule is Tuesday - Thursday at 7:15 PM; Friday at 8:15 PM; Saturday at 2:15 PM & 8:15 PM; and Sunday at 3:15 PM & 7:15 PM. Performances are at 59E59 Theaters (59 East 59th Street, between Park and Madison Avenues). Tickets are $25 ($17.50 for 59E59 Members). To purchase tickets, call Ticket Central at (212) 279-4200 or go to www.59e59.org.
Do not bring your kids (or do, but it might scar them for life). BOYS AND GIRLS follows four characters across a single night; two get lucky, two don't. Emerging from the Irish spoken word scene, this play paints the Dublin nightscape in pyrotechnic verse; four intercut voices muse, tease, and rant in an ever-escalating rhythm. It's quite dirty, quite funny, quite mental, and a bit sad. (Seriously, don't bring your kids.)
BOYS AND GIRLS was a smash sold-out hit at the 2013 Dublin Fringe, where playwright Dylan Coburn Gray won the Fishamble New Writing Award. The play subsequently transferred to the Project Arts Centre in Dublin. Irish Theatre Magazine called it "impossibly eloquent and beautifully composed...hilarious, contemporary, and at times, downright filthy." The Irish Times said BOYS AND GIRLS was "honest, funny and tender...Fifty minutes zip by between spluttering laughter from the audience, and moments of depth, sadness and explicit hilarity."
The cast features Ronan Carey, Seán Doyle, Claire O'Reilly, and Maeve O'Mahony. Ilo Tarrant is the production designer.
Dylan Coburn Gray (playwright/director) is a writer and theatre-maker based in Dublin. His play Boys and Girls premiered in Dublin Fringe 2013, winning the Fishamble Best New Writing Award, was shortlisted for the Stewart Parker Trust Award and is currently nominated for a Writers Guild of Ireland ZeBBie Award for Best Theatre Script 2014. He is an ongoing performer in Brokentalkers' The Blue Boy, which has toured extensively throughout 2012 - 14 (Neue Stucke aus Europe, Augenblick Mal, Lokal, Festival Cluj-Napoca, Helsinki, Omsk, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Tournai, Mons, Liége, Théatre National de Bruxelles). Credits as a sound-designer include TELL, as part of THEATREmachine Vol. 3, and The Rabbit Hole, by Louise Lewis.
