Apple strudel doesn't sound very Italian – or so you might think. The funny thing about Europe is that countries that are close to the borders of other countries take on the cuisine of their neighbours. They share the same climate therefore grow similar produce. My father was born in Istria, now in Croatia and my mother was born in Veneto. Both regions formed part of the Austro-Hungarian empire at one stage so it makes sense that some things that we think of as Austrian might also be found further south in Italy. Not only does mamma make sauerkraut with Speck and iota (which is a type of bean soup) but she makes a divine apple strudel.
The pastry of mamma's strudel is made with olive oil and so can be stretched to be so thin that you can almost see through it. I had searched the internet some time back for a recipe and the only one that I found that was remotely close to hers was Croatian. It fascinates me how something that I thought was Austrian, made by my Italian mother is similar to a Croatian recipe online! Mamma's strudel is filled with grated fresh apples, sultanas soaked in grappa, pine nuts, lemon zest and cocoa powder and then rolled up to form a narrow roll that is shaped like a giant horse shoe prior to baking.
Mamma always makes two strudels – one to give to friends/family and one to keep at home. Strudels were made when there was a celebration. After my parents retired, my father used to help my mother make strudel by peeling and coring the apples (14 large ones for the two strudels) while she grated them. Last weekend mamma wanted to make apple strudel for a big family lunch we were having at my sister's house. It was a lunch in celebration of what would have been my father's 91st birthday. Regular readers will know he passed away a few months ago. He loved apple strudel so it was only fitting that she make it for his birthday.
On the weekend I went to her place to help her make strudel and write down the recipe (which was all in her head!). Taking the place of my father, I cored and peeled the apples while she grated. We listened to music and drank coffee while we worked away. I watched her make strudel and she let me make the second one under her watchful eye. She gave me lots of tips when stretching the pastry with a rolling pin, scattering the filling and then rolling up the strudel with the help of a tea towel. The rolling was not the tricky part, it was getting the completed strudel on the tray without breaking it! She managed to do it easily – she has made strudel so many dozens of times. She wouldn't let me do it either – she said my hands weren't big enough. Before going into the oven, she brushed the strudel with beaten egg yolk to make it shiny once it is cooked.
So here is the recipe – written down for the first time, with years of love poured into it. It is lovely served with a dollop of cream on the side and a cup of coffee, or you could have it as we did with a glass of sweet and sticky Sicilian wine.
Livia's apple strudel
makes 2 strudels
500g plain flour
1 egg, separated
1/2 cup of olive oil
3/4 cup water
2 tsp caster sugar
14 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and roughly grated
4 tblsp sugar
4 tblsp pine nuts
2 tblsp cocoa powder
Rind of 2 medium sized lemons
8 tblsp sultanas (presoaked in grappa or brandy)
6 tblsp bread crumbs
100g butter, melted
To make the pastry – place 300g flour and the sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the egg white, the water and the olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined. Place a quarter of the remaining flour on the bench and empty the pastry onto the flour on your working surface. Knead until that flour is incorporated and continue kneading for about 5 minutes. Add a bit more flour if too sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line two large trays with baking paper. Peel, core and grate the apples into two large bowls (half in each). Melt the butter on low heat in a small saucepan. Add the bread crumbs, stir and remove from the heat. Place to the side. By now 30 minutes should have passed and it is time to roll out the pastry.
Generously flour your working surface and remove half the pastry from the plastic wrap. Knead, incorporating half of the remaining flour. Start rolling the pastry with a rolling pin, flipping the pastry over every minute or so as you stretch it out. Keep rolling, stretching, turning it over until it is about 50 cm by 40 cm. Place a large clean tea towel under the pastry before placing the filling.
Squeeze and drain the grated apples (drink the lovely apple juice that is left behind) and lay them on the pastry, leaving them clear of the edges by about 4cm, and leaving about 10cm clear at what will be the top of the horse shoe shaped strudel. Scatter half the remaining dry ingredients evenly over the apples (sultanas, pine nuts, sugar, cocoa, lemon zest and bread crumbs that have been combined with butter).
Use the tea towel to help you roll the strudel into a long sausage. Fold down the two ends of the sausage are carefully lift onto the prepared baking tray and make into a horse shoe shape. Repeat process for the second strudel. Brush the top of both wth beaten egg yolk.
Bake for 15 minutes at 180 degrees then lower the temperature to 170 and bake for a further 55 minutes. Swap the trays around half way through cooking so they bake evenly. About 15 minutes before they are ready check that the strudels are not browning too much. Reduce to 160 degrees if necessary. They should be a deep golden colour when ready. They keep for five or so days covered in the fridge and can be eaten hot or room temperature. Halve all the ingredients if you want to make just one strudel.

About Political Science
Political Science is important to society because an educated citizenry is the best safeguard for democracy. Political Science is valuable for individuals who want to know more about the values, laws, institutions and policy mechanisms that govern their lives in society, and as well, the differences between their system of government and those in other countries.
Political Science is an especially useful preparation for students who wish to pursue careers in teaching, law, public service or business. There are many minor program opportunities to further these study areas.
Faculty & Research
There is exciting research happening everyday through the assistance of many grants; through many workshops and conferences we are able to demonstrate the knowledge gained as well as gather further insights.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® Unites with National Pan-Hellenic Council |
Title (Max 100 Characters)
There's still time for NPHC members, family and friends to participate in the Call to Service for St. Jude campagin, a 30-day online fundraising challenge, by visiting stjude.org/nphc. Also supporting the month-long campaign is Actor Hill Harper. "I am a huge supporter of St. Jude and this new partnership makes me proud to be a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the world's oldest intercollegiate fraternity founded by African-American men," said actor, author and winner of the Education Freedom Award, Hill Harper. "NPHC organizations have deep roots in education and making a difference in the lives of our youth. Engaging this richly diverse membership through the Call to Service for St. Jude initiative will help raise awareness about St. Jude in the African-American community, while sharing the hospital's mission of treating the world's sickest children with the best care."
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is partnering with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® to rally its more than 1 million members through the Call to Service for St. Jude initiative. For the first time, the NPHC, composed of historically African-American international Greek letter sororities and fraternities, supports one mission – supporting St. Jude where every family saved means thousands more saved around the world.
National Pan-Hellenic Council Call to Service for St. Jude, www.st.jude.org/nphc, is a 30-day challenge where members, friends and family can register and support an organization's individual fundraising goal for St. Jude. The top 10 fundraisers will receive a trip to Memphis, Tenn. to attend the National Civil Rights Museum Freedom Awards dinner in October and tour the hospital. The challenge will culminate on April 5 with the annual Radio Cares for St. Jude Kids radio event, led by Radio One, Inc., which has raised more than $14 million for St. Jude.
"This partnership with the National Pan-Hellenic Council means that more communities will be aware of the lifesaving mission of St. Jude. The support of NPHC members will help ensure that St. Jude can continue its pioneering research and treatment and that no family will ever pay St. Jude for anything," said Richard Shadyac, Jr., CEO of ALSAC/St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "We look forward to cultivating this dynamic relationship with the NPHC as we work together to help realize a day when no child will die in the dawn of life."
Four-year-old Kennedi is just one of the tens of thousands of children who benefit from the cutting-edge research and treatment at St. Jude. Last summer, her mother Chauntay, who is a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, and father Joseph, who is a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity, were alarmed to learn that Kennedi suffered from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood cancer, and was referred to St. Jude where she was placed on a two-and-a-half year treatment plan. Within two weeks, her cancer was in remission. Because of St. Jude, Kennedi lives a happy, healthy life. Her mother said, "Whenever she sees the St. Jude logo, she says 'There's my doctor!' We trust the doctors here, and know Kennedi is at the best place possible." See the video of Kennedi: http://bcove.me/xj472tb5.
Relationships with organizations like the NPHC are more important than ever to St. Jude because no family pays St. Jude for anything and more than 75 percent of the hospital's funding comes from the public.
"The National Pan-Hellenic Council is thrilled to collaborate and engage our national network of members in support of such a great cause," said Cynthia Butler-McIntyre, chair of the NPHC Council of Presidents and National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. "This Call to Service initiative not only helps raise funds, it also allows us to help spread the message that there is treatment for childhood cancer and other deadly diseases that affect our communities, like sickle cell and pediatric AIDS."
When St. Jude opened its doors 50 years ago, it was the first fully integrated children's hospital in the South. African-American and white patients were treated in the same rooms; they dined together; and bathroom facilities were integrated. St. Jude was the first to develop a cure for sickle cell disease with a bone marrow transplant and has one of the largest pediatric sickle cell programs in the country, treating about 800 children a year. In addition, St. Jude shares these discoveries with doctors everywhere.

Can you afford your loan?!
Know the quantity of loan you can afford. The banks may sanction loan based on your income but you should look at your monthly expenditure and see if you can afford the maximum that banks offer. As a thumb rule, remember not to let your credit exceed 40% of your income!
Is the budget only about taxes?
by 15, March, 2012 0 |
The first thing an average citizen of India thinks about before any Government Budget is about his/her personal income tax. Discussions during and immediately following the Budget presentation by the Finance Minister is also about income tax slabs and the tax savings instruments. But is the budget presentation only about income tax?
Income Tax
As an "Aam Aadmi" all we know is about our own income and the tax related to it. So it is no wonder that one is curious if not serious about the money that one could retain for himself/herself out of the total income. Traditionally too the Budget presentations have gone into the details of the personal income tax and corporate income tax changes.
Government Budget – Income
The Government Budget however is not just about income tax. It is very similar to our household budget, which has both income and expenses. The government gets its income from the taxes it charges. This comes in different forms: Direct tax and Indirect taxes. Direct taxes are taxes that are charged by the Government directly when income is generated – income tax is a direct tax. Indirect taxes are taxes that include taxes which are not directly charged to the user. These include taxes such as service tax, sales tax, excise duty and customs duty.
The income for the Government also comes from dividends paid by the companies it owns. The other income that the Government gets is from the sales of its assets like shares of companies it owns.
The income for the Government is higher from the indirect taxes than from the direct taxes. Of the direct taxes, the income tax received from individual is a smaller part when compared to the income tax received from companies.
Expenses of the Government
The Government spends on salary for its employees, pension for its past employees, welfare measures for the citizens, maintaining its defence and police forces, developing and maintaining infrastructure, delivering education at all levels, subsidies for food, fuel and fertilizers, various temporary employment schemes and many other not so visible services to its citizens.
Budget Deficit
Currently our Government is running on a deficit. This means that our Government is spending more than its income. The planned income for the Government was Rs.10 lakh crore. However its planned expenses were Rs.14 lakh crores. This creates a deficit of 40% on the income.
The Government manages the expenses by borrowing from several sources. However this adds to the burden in the future budgets as the interest on its borrowings itself becomes huge. During the last two years we have only been able to service the interest that had to be paid. We repaid only meager amounts of the principal of the loans. This is not sustainable in the long run. This way of borrowing to meet the expenses will only lead to severe crisis, when money is not available for borrowing. The situation can be worse as in the case of Greece now, were the entire world has lost trust on the repayment capacity of the Greek Government.
Balancing the Budget
For a Finance Minister, these are tough times. This is because there are not many avenues to increase the revenue for the Government. Reducing the expenses in many sectors is politically harmful.
It is us as citizens of the country who have to understand that there is no free lunch in this world. If we get something for free from the Government today, we have to ultimately pay for it in one way or the other. If not us, our future generations will definitely have to pay for it.
The way out for us as citizens, to get the best out of any Government is to say no to free-bees and to ask for a responsible Government that will invest in the long term wellness of the country.
This is possible not overnight. But it is possible in a series of positive and responsible budget that works towards reducing the Government's budget deficit.
The budget is definitely not just about taxes. The budget is more about establishing an income-deficit balance that will be able to sustain a growing country and its citizens with growing aspirations. It is also the role of us as responsible citizens to let go of the attitude of getting as much as possible for free from the Government.

The No More Mallows Blogger Recipe Contest is in full swing, and I just want to say….Keep those recipe's coming in, bloggers! I am always amazed to see how creative the contest entries are. But with an ingredient like sweet potatoes, it is hard not to be inspired. As I pointed out in the last post, our sassy sweets really do lend themselves to any recipe, and not just as a mere ingredient, but as the star! From Breakfast, to Dessert, this superfood can do it all. All while providing you with more antioxidants than you can poke a stick at. That's probably why Health Writers at the Washington Post said they provide a health boost that can help prevent all sort of woes, including wrinkles. How's that for awesome!
It's easy to put together a delish dish, without breaking the bank on exotic ingredients. And you don't have to be a master chef either. As a matter of fact, most cooks that I know would prefer to keep it simple in the kitchen. But that doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice flavor. Take a look at this Sweet Potato Salad. It only takes a few minutes, but wow does it pack a lot of flavor…Pistachios add a little crunch, cherries add a hint of tartness to balance the natural sweetness of the main ingredient, spring greens add a hint of bitterness and a balsamic vinaigrette rounds everything out. But here's the most important part – the sweet potatoes are allowed to shine. No syrupy sauce or gooey marshmallow topping needed here, thank you very much.
PS As a Southern Girl, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that toasted pecans work equally well in this dish. Have fun cooking and be sure to send in your creation, it might just be a winner!

• 10 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips• 2 sticks of cubed unsalted butter• 2 1/8 cups (18 Tbs) sugar• 2 tsp vanilla• 5 large eggs• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour• 3 Tbs cocoa powder• 1/2 tsp salt• 8-ounce tub mascarpone cheese• 1/4 cup heavy cream• Pitted cherries• Fresh chopped mint
1. Get about 1 inch of water simmering in a large pot on the stovetop and add the semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips to a large stainless steel bowl. Add the cubed, unsalted butter to that and stir it around, over the double boiler, until everything has melted and mixed together.
2. Just as it has melted together, take it off of the stove and add and whisk in 2 cups sugar, and then the vanilla and the large eggs, one at a time.
3. Next, add the flour, cocoa powder and salt and mix that together until combined.
4. Transfer it to a buttered 9 x 13-inch baking dish and place that onto the center rack of a 350 degree preheated oven. That will take just about 20 to 22 minutes to bake. Use a toothpick to check it for doneness.
5. Once the brownies are cooling down, use an electric mixer to cream the mascarpone cheese with 2 Tbs sugar and the heavy cream, using the paddle attachment, not the whisk.
6. Serve the cooled, cut brownies with a dollop of the mascarpone right on top and finish with a spoonful of pitted cherries tossed with a little sugar and fresh chopped mint.

Hundreds of New York Times Staffers Deplore Greed of Times' Owners [list of signers to date below - 394 writers, reporters, columnists, correspondents, managers, editors and other New York Times staff members - as of Sept. 27, 2012 at 8:00 pm EDT http://saveourtimes.com/#] Letter to Arthur, Jill and Mark SaveOurTimes.com http://saveourtimes.com/ http://saveourtimes.com/# 24 September 2012 Dear Arthur, Jill and Mark, Eighteen months after our contracts expired, we stand at the threshold of crisis. Our duty to the institution and to you is to speak plainly. The company's demands are untenable and destructive. Last week, Times negotiators once again insisted on major cuts to our wages and benefits. These demands differ only in degree from earlier ones, with an ugly new twist. They come with a threat of impasse. We implore you: do not permit The New York Times to be steered any closer to this abyss. This penny-wise path will leave us and the company worse off, eroding the quality of our journalism now and in the future. The clock is ticking, as Bernie Plum has said. Indeed it is. We already see talented colleagues regularly being hired away because they can no longer afford to work here. In March, the company's chief labor executive, Terry Hayes, wrote: "And the most important thing we can do is to eliminate the expense, risk and volatility of the defined-benefit pension plans." In response, the Guild proposed a new kind of plan that virtually eliminated volatility and risk to the company. Indeed, the risk was shifted to us, along with shrunken benefits. The company has accepted this zero-risk, zero- volatility plan, but stunningly, now demands severe cuts in retirement contributions. We have been asked for work rule revisions, job description reform, a single contract to cover print and digital employees. In almost every case, the Guild agreed. We believe our written agreement should catch up with the agile, enterprising spirit of the newsroom where, for instance, most meaningful distinctions between print and digital journalists have already been erased. Still, the Times demands cuts to our compensation and threatens impasse. Over the last eight years, while company revenues were declining, the cost of wages and benefits dropped even faster. In 2009, Arthur asked us to accept a 5% pay cut. We said yes, by a vote of 427 to 36. Overtime is down by half since 2008. Yet the news report in The New York Times, online and in print, is richer and more rewarding than ever. We are doing more but making less. For us, the most important thing is that you end the era of shriveling compensation. We urge you: step back from this corrosive, needless crisis. Consider the relief that The Times has already won in these talks. Reflect on the revelations of this past decade. It wasn't luck or brand legacy that allowed this great institution to make the transition to a digital era during an economic collapse. It was the people of The Times, working seven days a week, around the clock. This generation of Times journalists has more than earned fair wages and benefits. The next generation expects them. You will need that generation every bit as much as you needed - and need - this one. We will accept nothing less. Through two wars, multi-nation revolutions, mass political polarization, and global economic turmoil, we all, managers and employees, have rallied to provide the world's premier news coverage, and to persevere and succeed in business. Terry Hayes told us what your "most important thing" is. We believed you. Now we have told you what ours is. Believe us. 1.

Movie reviews: 'The Hunger Games'
Though presumably targeted --- at least in part --- at teens, the dystopian adventure "The Hunger Games" (Lionsgate) involves enough problematic content to give parents pause. Responsible oldsters will want to weigh the matter carefully before giving permission for clamoring kids to attend.
At first glance, the depressing futuristic premise of the piece --- inherited from Suzanne Collins' best-selling trilogy of novels, on the first volume of which the film is based --- makes it seem unlikely fare for a youthful audience.
In a post-apocalyptic North America, have-not youngsters from oppressed outlying districts are chosen at random to participate in the titular event, a televised survival tournament staged each year for the entertainment of the decadent elite who populate their society's luxurious capital city.
Since combatants are forced to battle one another --- and the hostile wilderness environment in which the games are set -- until only one remains alive, the fearful ordeal also serves to keep the once-rebellious, now cowed underlings intimidated.
Director and co-writer Gary Ross' script, penned in collaboration with Collins and Billy Ray, tracks two teens caught up in this gladiatorial horror show. As early scenes reveal, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) was selected in the usual way. Heroine Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), by contrast, altruistically volunteered herself as a substitute after her vulnerable younger sister Primrose's (Willow Shields) name was drawn.
What follows, as this sympathetic duo confronts their doom, is an effective combination of epic spectacle and emotional drama during which humane values are pitted against Darwinian moral chaos.
Insatiable media coverage, led by smarmy TV host Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci), and the wildly off-kilter values of the foppish upper crust, embodied by Peeta and Katniss' nannylike escort Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks), satirically mirror some darker aspects of our own time. (Interestingly, depending on the individual viewer's politics, the basic allegory can be read either as a critique of overweening big government or of the trampling under of the 99 percent.)
But sensibilities are not spared as the grim contest unfolds: painful injuries brought about by swords, arrows, hatchets and even the creative use of a hornets' nest are all portrayed unblinkingly. On the upside, foul language is entirely absent, as too is any sensual activity beyond kissing. So, despite the elements listed below, "The Hunger Games" may possibly prove acceptable for mature adolescents.
The film contains considerable, sometimes gory, hand-to-hand and weapons violence and graphic images of bloody wounds. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III --- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 --- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

This is a fantastic place to introduce a virgin to disc-golf. The holes are mostly short. It's the fastest 18 holes in golf.

Short beginner course. Usually busy so expect to wait and possibly get hit by disc. Almost every hole is a birdie hole. Major weeds in the summer and partially flooded in the winter.

Qcon London 2009
Warning: strip_tags() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /var/www/php_apps/pedropimentel.com/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 631
After 4 months of no activity here (in my twitter I post more frequently), i'm posting some notes from Qcon London I attended this year.
Curiously, Qcon London began with a keynote from the scientist Tony Hoare (inventor of quicksort) that didn't make me sleep. Hoare talked about the division between the academic practices and the commercial world doing many comparisons and little jokes regarding the "I'm a scientist, I'm a engineer" world.
Keith Braithwaite started his talk "Adopting agile is harder than you'd like but easier than you'd think" by comparing costs of a developer and hardware costs. Keith showed some statistics of how people improve productivity by using bigger monitors and how these hardware costs are related to the developer costs. According to him, if your company don't gives you a big monitor, they are loosing money due to loss in productivity. Other comments he did were about pair programming where he defends its use in an all the time basis, saying that "choosing to work alone, is to choose have less quality in your code". In a rant about Rockstars developers, Keith said that them should not be part of a team but hired as consultants or contractors instead. Finishing his talk, Keith presented some points to consider in order to know if agile methodology is working in your team which are: estimates converge, quality remains high over long periods and the team by itself find new approaches to work better.
"Web-oriented architecture" and his other talk "Transforming software architecture with Web as platform" by Dion Hinchcliffe predicts the obvious where most the applications will be web-based and web-oriented and still following the "always beta" philosophy because "the best products are never finished". According to Dion, the web oriented architecture is strongly based on REST plus the use of mashups, integration and widgets. Dion said we are missing portability in our applications, so he believes that by using OPML to exchange data, we'll be in the right way to the web-oriented architecture.
Martin Fowler, who doesn't need presentations, in "3 years of real word ruby" gave us an overall idea of how ruby was introduced in the projects inside ThoughtWorks. Martin talked about how people were dealing with ruby, how the productivity was affected and many other considerations of using ruby for real world projects. According to Martin, there are 41 projects made with ruby. One thing Martin said, was how people felt when they need to go back to work with languages other than ruby. Not surprisingly (for me) most of the people didn't want to go back to work with other languages, mostly because the easy of use of ruby. About ruby performance in the projects, Martin said "Ruby is slow, but that's not the bottleneck in most of applications. The biggest cause for slowness nowadays is accessing database" . Regarding the tools to develop with ruby, once again, wasn't any surprise for me. Nobody in the team feel the need for a IDE like Eclipse. All in all, nothing new for me in his talk, but it's always good to hear from guys like Martin.
"Agility: possibilities at a personal level" by Linda Rising was a really weird talk. During 95% of its time, she talked about Caffeine and the way it affects a person's health. It was for sure a nice talk and Linda definitely knows how to keep people's attention. The message that she tried to present was that being agile can be (bad) the same way "caffeine" is for our health because being agile makes you feel energized, stimulated, addicted to work and makes work be a fun thing but our body and mind are not ready for such "energy".
Joseph Pelrine in "Coaching self organizing teams" was about how to make people do things without telling them directly. It's all a matter of achieving the right behavior which for Joseph is a function of people vs environment. Self organizing teams have a emergent behavior and are in general conditioned to the "first fit pattern match". It means, they make decisions based in what they experienced. This kind of team needs diversity in terms of behavior in order to stimulate a evolving behavior as a team. A team is not just a bunch of people working together, they need "heat" to move and work better. According to Joseph, it's near "chaos" when people do they best. To defend his idea, he states there are team "temperatures" to keep track:
- burning, when the team is in a organized chaos where everything is done fast, synchronized and without errors. According to Joseph, although this is what every team manager wants this "temperature" only can be maintained for short periods because it can drive the team crazy.
- cooking, when the team have everything fitting nicely and properly. Projections are made with realistic dates and everything flows to achieve a goal without help of the team manager.
- stagnating, when people in the team starts procrastinating the tasks because they don't realize the real value of it.
- congealing, the team is lazy. They know they could do something better, but they are too lazy to do it.
- solidifying, the team starts adding bureaucracy for everything just to procrastinate even more the tasks.
One important lesson from Joseph was if you want to change a team, you'll need to stimulate the team's network by creating confidence among the members of the team. How can you do that ? It's like flirting with somebody , first it requires a real context to apply, it means, something to talk about, then you'll need a good environment, it means the place where it will evolve the stimulation.

Catholic college leaders urged to embrace immigration reform
"They get it. They're the ones who will make this happen," he told a group of Catholic college and university leaders Jan. 30 in Washington in a presentation during the three-day conference of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities.
The cardinal lamented the failed passage of federal legislation in 2010 that would have helped children of undocumented immigrants work toward legal status and get a college education.
When asked about the status of these efforts in Congress, he said it was going "terribly," which is why he is focusing on the work of college students who are educating their peers and advocating for immigration reform.
He said Catholic higher education is getting involved in this issue by participating in regional workshops across the country and gearing up to use curriculum on their campuses that outlines the role of the church in helping immigrant populations.
The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, or DREAM Act, has been introduced in Congress in various forms since 2001. The bills have had bipartisan congressional backing and broad faith group and higher education support. Local, state and national Catholic organizations have been in the forefront of campaigns to pass the bills. The most recent version passed the House in 2010, but the Senate version fell five votes short of the 60 needed to break a filibuster threat.
The measure would have regularized the legal status of those who came to the United States before age 16, lived here at least five years, graduated from a U.S. high school and were pursuing higher education or military service.
If the legislation had passed, approximately 114,000 young people who had already obtained at least an associate's degree would have been immediately eligible for conditional lawful permanent resident status and 612,000 high school graduates would have been eligible if they graduated from college or completed two years of military service, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
Dominican Sister Diane Kennedy, vice president of mission and ministry at Dominican University in Chicago, said a number of students at the university are undocumented immigrants.
She said the university simply responded to a "landslide of need" and was "not motivated by charity or politics but by its sense of mission" in accepting these students.
The school has helped many of the students with merit-based aid, she said, but school officials also know they will not get jobs in the U.S. when they graduate because of their illegal status.
Sister Diane similarly sees a "transforming movement" growing on college campuses as students speak out in support of immigration reform, particularly for the DREAM Act.
When a participant asked if schools were doing such students a disservice by accepting them while knowing they were not likely to get a job after graduating, Cardinal Mahony stressed that it was still the right thing to do.
He said the students will "still have a college degree and at some point they will be legal citizens." He said undocumented immigrants should not delay pursuing their education until they became citizens, because that might not happen for another 20 years.
In the closing session, conference speakers reminded the Catholic college and university leaders of their mission and broad challenges from working to engage the modern culture and promote respectful dialogue about differing viewpoints on their campuses to how to use, or even tame, ubiquitous technology.
In response to a question about use of social media, Father Tom Curran, a member of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales and president of Jesuit-run Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Mo., said he has no formula.
He said he advises students to be prudent, reminding them: "What you send (online) in a millisecond is out there forever."

Connecticon Forum
Artists' Colony Registration Will Open on May 3rd @ 7PM EST
It's that time you've been waiting for. We have a new registration system this year, so please read the AC page carefully to prepare:
Please note: Due to the increase in interest in the AC- if you have already purchased a membership, you will first need to purchase an AC booth and then request a refund for your regular membership. (Please send requests to members@ connecticon.org)
YES, a CT Tax ID Number IS required for registration- no exceptions! If you are found to be registering with a false ID, your payment will be refunded and your space will be given to someone else.
Here are the basic instructions on how to register, once you have your Tax Permit and any other information you need:
1. Log into your account. (If you have not logged into your account since the site re-launch, you will need to reset your password.)
2. Make sure you have your CT Tax ID number and PayPal information ready. Also, have 2 or 3 spaces in mind that you are interested in, just in case your favorite picks fill up.
3. Fill out the form thoroughly- Assume that all information is required because most of it will be. (Your Studio Information and/or website will be displayed on the new map, so consider ahead of time what you would like people to know about your business.)
4. If you have other people helping at your booth, make sure you have their membership information: names, birthdates, e-mail addresses.
-If you do not know who will be your Assistant, or do not plan to have one, select "No." You will have two badges available under your name if needed.
-If you need additional badges, they can be purchased for $35 each (up to 2 of these for a total of 4 people per booth).
5. Once you have filled out the form and proceeded to the next page, you will be able to click on a space of your choice, or select one from the drop-down menu. Dark spaces are already taken. If you hover over those spaces, you will be able to see who has already purchased that space.
6. Once you have chosen a booth, you will be brought to a confirmation page where you can either go back to edit the information or click "proceed to checkout."
7. Choose your method of payment before submitting.
-If you select "PayPal," you will be redirected to the PayPal site to log in and complete your order. (You will have 24 hours to submit your payment before your space opens up again.)
-If you select "Mail in," you will be taken to a screen where you can print off your invoice and submit it by snail mail with cash, check, or money order. (Payments must be processed within 10 days, otherwise your space will open up again.)
8. Check your account to make sure your registration was processed. You can find your invoice on your member dashboard (main page upon logging in) under either "orders" or "memberships."
9. ?????
If you have any problems or have questions about the process, you can e-mail members @connecticon.org or info@ connecticon.org or post them here. Admins will be standing by during the launch of registration for assistance.
Here is a map of the new AC layout:
Reserved Spaces: AC-1, AC-15, AC-16, AC-17, AC-18, AC-41, AC-42

You Are Only as Good as Your Worst Employee
By Debra Thompson - Monday June 18, 2012"You are only as good as your worst employee." I heard this from one of the attendees during a recent seminar. I thought it was so appropriate. There are many shops out there that will never be as good as what the owner desires, because they continue to put up with underachievers or bad-attitude employees. Even though finding a replacement for this type of individual is a top concern for owners throughout the nation right now, these employees must be addressed. • The first recommendation is to "Coach Your Underachievers." • The second recommendation is to "Get Rid of Them." Underachievers come in every shape, size, educational background and ethnic group. The only thing they have in common is that they are not living... -
Is Your Employee Ready to be a Manager?
By Debra Thompson - Friday May 25, 2012When a managerial position opens up, it is usually an opportunity to move a top performer into the position. No one would argue that promoting from within sends a strong message to the rest of the company about investing in people and cultivating management talent. Unfortunately, when it comes to actual qualifications, current job performance is given greater weight than the competencies required for a managerial position—most notably, management traits and/or experience. The fact that individual job performance and management are two entirely different sets of competencies too often gets ignored. Before you know it, you have someone in the position that doesn't know the first thing about managing a group of people. Dr. Laurence... -
Customer Service! Customer Service! Customer Service!
By Debra Thompson - Tuesday February 7, 2012By Debra Thompson It's the latest watchword. That's all we hear about today. There are tons of books out there, articles being written in every magazine we pick up and seminars going on everywhere discussing the importance of good customer service. But many of the owners I am consulting with today still don't get it. They hear it, they talk about it, but they don't really know what to do about it. My observation is that they know they must address it, but if they do, then they personally will have to do something. They personally will have to become very involved in customer relations. This is the frightening challenge that many owners cannot face. Many owners tell me that they know they should have more contact with their customers... -
Why Talk About Hiring Now?
By Debra Thompson - Monday February 13, 2012By Debra Thompson It is pretty clear that hiring activities have not picked up much. Business recovery is happening, but slowly, so business owners are not feeling a need to add staff at this point. So why talk about hiring now? Obviously, this may not be the time to add staff to your organization, but it is the perfect time to evaluate your current staff and upgrade where necessary. As mentioned above, doing business today and in tomorrow's marketplace is different on so many levels. There is a general consensus that as the recovery strengthens, the structural changes that have taken place will be much more noticeable. When this happens, there will be an urgency to have a brighter and more technically competent staff to gain the... -
Your Ego or Your Customer? What's More Important?
- Monday January 30, 2012By Debra Thompson I can't even begin to tell you the number of times that I have been asked to do consulting for an owner and the first thing they say is, "I want you to be honest with me and tell me exactly what you think is going on around here." In many cases, my findings are that the owner is the source of the problems. He doesn't know what is going on or has installed controls that hamper employee performance or has not replaced antiquated methods and techniques. When it comes time for me to give my report and I begin by saying, "The main cog or obstacle that I find in this organization is YOU", they become defensive and start with the excuses to justify every condition that I bring to their attention. Let me tell you, these...

Princess Diana's Family Selling Off Art
The family of the late Princess Diana is selling off some of its famous art collection. "A Commander being armed for Battle" painted in either 1613 or 1614 by Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens is hoped to bring 8-12 million pounds ($12-18 million) when it goes on sale at Christie's in London on July 6 as part of an old masters sale. The painting has been at the Spencer family home, Althorp for more than 200 years. Although it was originally described as being in the "school of Rubens" it has now been identified by noted scholars as being painted by the master himself.
The painting is part of a Spencer collection sell-off of approximately $30 million designed to help preserve the family home. Althorp is undergoing a major restoration and the trustees of the estate decided to sell artwork deemed not integral to the Spencer Collection. Earl Spencer, Diana's brother, is head of the estate, and plans to marry for a third time later this year.

*** GREAT Mexican food to eat before the game at Marquez Bakery ***
182 people recommend parking here 124 left comments
It was a convenient location - easy access and departure. The Restaurant was not open for food service on Thanksgiving, but we did tailgate in the parking lot and were able to use the Restaurant bathrooms. The walk to AT&T Stadium was not bad at all. The walk back was a little dark, but with the amount of foot traffic, felt safe. Will definitely use again and would recommend.
Very nice and especially we got pretty quick from there.
Plenty of space nice bathroom good place to park
Friendly staff great process car was still there when we got back
Friendly attendant, near stadium, food & restrooms. East access to main rd.
Quick, easy, safe, great location and price. Will park there again.
This is the parking lot on the west side of Marquez Bakery. This location is just a couple of blocks southeast of Cowboys Stadium.
This location is a business.
Preferred parking for Jack in the Box - Arlington, TX, Marquez Bakery & Tortilla Factory.
This lot is located on E Division St, just a little west of Stadium Dr E and approximately lined up with Michener Dr across the street. The entrance is on the south side of E Division St between Jack in the Box and Sonic Dive-In. Look for a large "Marquez Bakery" sign spelled out on the top of the building.
0.48 miles from AT&T Stadium - Cowboys Stadium
