Vietnam bars Vatican delegation research for late cardinal's beatification cause
Catholic World News - March 26, 2012
The Vietnamese government has refused to grant entry visas to members of a Vatican delegation investigating the cause for beatification of Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan.
Vietnamese Catholics, distressed by the government's move, believe that the decision to refuse visas for the 3 Vatican officials gathering testimony about Cardinal Van Thuan demonstrates the sensitivity of the late cardinal's case.
Cardinal Van Thuan was arrested in 1975, shortly after his appointment as coadjutor archbishop of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon); he spent 13 years in jail before being released and brought to the Vatican as president The Vietnamese prelate, who serving 13 years in prison camps in his native land, was president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace from 1998 until his death in 2002.

No tax hike in Rogero budget; pension funding increased
Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero's first proposed budget in office includes no tax increase and more money for the city employees' pension shortfall.
Rogero said Friday her $180.5 million operating budget maintains or increases money for most areas of government. The 2012-13 proposal is $8.38 million greater than the current fiscal year budget that ends June 30.
"We will ensure that those who lead our city in the future will inherit a city that is fiscally sound, with neighborhoods that are stronger than they are now, and a place where businesses grow and prosper," she said in a luncheon address at Victor Ashe Park.
* $300,000 increase for chronic problem and blighted properties (for a total of $800,000).
* $50,000 for the city's tree-planting program, a $10,000 increase
* $64,770 to add an urban forester
* $359,000 in grants for Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, Knoxville Museum of Art and 19 other arts and cultural groups
* $1.73 million for building and repairing sidewalks and crosswalks on Sutherland Avenue across from University of Tennessee fields under construction
* $2.6 million to add another level and pedestrian overpass at the State Street parking garage
* $50,000 more for Knoxville Zoo to help renovate facilities
* $500,000 for Downtown North projects; $200,000 for the Magnolia Warehouse Redevelopment area; $200,000 to Jackson Avenue redevelopment; $200,000 to the commercial facade improvement program
Source: City of Knoxville
The overall Knoxville budget is $357 million, but $263 million is transferred to other agencies and used for debt payments, including $24.3 million in capital improvements.
The mayor's budget gives money toward major campaign platforms she named during her run for office in 2011, including sustainability, the environment and blighted housing.
"Those would be the major policy steps — as significantly different, not just incremental, shifts," said Bill Lyons, deputy mayor and policy chief for Rogero.
Under Rogero's proposal, several popular facilities will get attention including Chilhowee Park (new restrooms, ($346,200), the Knoxville Coliseum (update to its heating and air units, $195,000), and the road at Fort Dickerson Park in South Knoxville would be realigned ($1.1 million). About $5.4 million would be set aside for the city's annual road repaving program.
Rogero said she tried to hit many parts of the city in various ways.
"The realignment of Fort Dickerson," she said, "impacts the urban wilderness corridor, it impacts historic tourism, it impacts different elements that we want to promote."
Knoxville City Council members, former mayors, city staff, other dignitaries and residents were among the several hundred in attendance under a white tent in a grassy field.
The mayor's budget address is as much a presentation on the spending plan as a chance to talk about the state of the city.
Recognizing it was Rogero's first, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett lent his support in a text message. Rogero said that Burchett told her she could "take a swipe" at him if her message was poorly received.
Burchett's offer wasn't needed, though. Applause rose several times as she listed her funding goals.
The minimum city contribution to the employee pension plan, which is underfunded and has been called unsustainable, was expected to grow $2.2 million to $14.4 million. Rogero met that and proposed adding another $10 million from the city's fund balance.
"This is an immediate commitment," Rogero said, "that addresses future funding challenges. We will take a substantial portion of our present fund balance and make a commitment to reduce future obligations."
She recommended more money to buy blighted property ($300,000), funding an administrative hearing officer on blighted property ($20,000) and money to support the city's demolition by neglect ordinance that allows crews to repair blighted historic buildings when owners fail to do so ($100,000).
Rogero also added $146,120 to keep the two-person sustainability office open. And she recommended combining two vacant positions to create a job for an urban forester, along with adding $10,000 to the city's tree purchase program.
City employees would also receive a 2.5 percent raise.
City Council will analyze and discuss her budget for approval.
"I think she's in lockstep with what's important to the city of Knoxville," said Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis. "She did exactly what she said she would when running."
Council will hold its budget hearing May 22.

I love freezer bag cooking.1. low sodium options2. great tasting meals3. customization of recipies4. relative low cost compared to freeze dried food5. home dehydrated food gives many options (i.e. "spaghetti sauce leather")But many of my meals taste SO much better when I add retort pouch meats like shrimp, chicken, ham, etc. Chicken soup becomes REAL chicken soup when chunks of retort pouch chicken is added. However those aluninized retort pouches are HEAVY. I gotta begin trying to dehydrate their contents.Has anyone tried this? If so, with any success in retaining good flavor?
Edited by Danepacker on 06/29/2013 11:37:26 MDT.
I regularly dehydrate canned chicken, either by itself, or preferably as part of a meal I am preparing. It rehydrates quite well, with minimal impact on texture and flavor. I've also done shrimp from cans with some success, but I prefer dehydrating frozen shrimp: better flavor and less salt.Jim
Thanks Jim,I'm getting some chicken and shrimp (frozen) and trying out the dehydration route.
Eric,Another good way is cook chicken breasts, cool, shred and dehydrate. They rehydrate fairly quickly and have way less sodium.

Since 1996, crop plants genetically modified to produce bacterial proteins that are toxic to certain insects, yet safe for people, have been planted on more than 200 million hectares worldwide. The popularity of these Bt crops, named after the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, comes from their ability to kill some major pests, allowing farmers to save money and lessen environmental impacts by reducing insecticide sprays.
However, since insects can evolve resistance to toxins, strategies must be implemented to ensure that Bt crops remain effective. A new study published in the December issue of Journal of Economic Entomology entitled "Field-Evolved Insect Resistance to Bt Crops: Definition, Theory, and Data" (http://www.entsoc.org/btcrops.pdf) analyzes insect resistance data from five continents, as reported in 41 studies, and concludes that existing theories and strategies can be used to predict, monitor, and manage insect resistance to Bt crops.
According to lead author Dr. Bruce E. Tabashnik, "Resistance is not something to be afraid of, but something that we expect and can manage if we understand it. Dozens of studies monitoring how pests have responded to Bt crops have created a treasure trove of data showing that resistance has emerged in a few pest populations, but not in most others. By systematically analyzing the extensive data, we can learn what accelerates resistance and what delays it. With this knowledge, we can more effectively predict and thwart pest resistance."

Crass Transportation
A transportation magazine ran a "Guide to Hiring Women" article in 1943.
[Sanders, 1943]
1943 Guide to Hiring Women:
The following is an excerpt from the July 1943 issue of Transportation Magazine. This was written for male supervisors of women in the work force during World
War II.
Eleven Tips on Getting More Efficiency Out of Women Employees
There's no longer any question whether transit companies should hire women for jobs formerly held by men. The draft and manpower shortage has settled that point. The important things now are to select the most efficient women available and how to use them to the best advantage. Here are eleven helpful tips on the subject from western properties:
1. If you can get them, pick young married women. They have these advantages, according to the reports of western companies: they usually have more of a sense of responsibility than do their unmarried sisters; they're less likely to be flirtatious; as a rule, they need the work or they wouldn't be doing it — maybe a sick husband or one who's in the army; they still have the pep and interest to work hard and to deal with the public efficiently.
2. When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked outside the home at some time in their lives. Most transportation companies have found that older women who have never contacted the public, have a hard time adapting themselves, are inclined to be cantankerous and fussy. It's always well to impress upon older women the importance of friendliness and courtesy.
3. While there are exceptions, of course, to this rule, general experience indicates that "husky" girls
— those
who are just a little on the heavy side — are likely to be more even-tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.
4. Retain a physician to give each woman you hire a special physical examination — one covering female conditions. This step not only protects the property against the possibilities of lawsuit but also reveals whether the employee-to-be has any female weaknesses which would make her mentally or physically unfit for the job. Transit companies that follow this practice report a surprising number of women turned down for nervous disorders.
5. In breaking in women who haven't previously done outside work, stress at the outset the importance of time — the fact that a minute or two lost here and there makes serious inroads on schedules. Until this point is gotten across, service is likely to be slowed up.
6. Give the female employe in garage or office a definite day-long schedule of duties so that she'll keep busy without bothering the management for instructions every few minutes. Numerous properties say that women make excellent workers when they have their jobs cut out for them but that they lack initiative in finding work themselves.
7. Whenever possible, let the inside employe change from one job to another at some time during the day. Women are inclined to be nervous and they're happier with change.
8. Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. Companies that are already using large numbers of women stress the fact that you have to make some allowances for feminine psychology. A girl has more confidence and consequently is more efficient if she can keep her hair tidied, apply fresh lipstick and wash her hands several times a day.
9. Be tactful in issuing instructions or in making criticisms. Women are often sensitive; they can't shrug off harsh words the way that men do. Never ridicule a woman — it breaks her spirit and cuts her efficiency.
10. Be reasonably considerate about using strong language around women. Even though a girl's husband or father may swear vociferously, she'll grow to dislike a place of business where she hears too much of this.
11. Get enough size variety in operator uniforms that each girl can have a proper fit. This point can't be stressed too strongly as a means of keeping women happy, according to western properties.
We've seen so many modern day forgeries of texts intended to remind us how cruelly we once treated other human beings (
Slave Consultant's Narrative
), remind us how much more
difficult life used to be (
1872 Rules for Teachers
), or poke fun at earlier societal attitudes (
Advice to Young Brides
) that we now naturally assume any such document to be phony until proved real.
The text quoted above is one such example. Although we know full well in the 1940s women in the workplace were often patronized, insulted, harassed, and treated as second-class employees in ways almost no one would find acceptable today, we have a hard time believing that even if we once held the attitudes that promoted this type of work environment, no one (even way back in 1943) could have been so crass to state them as baldly and condescendingly as in the article cited here.
However, this is a case in which, whatever experience might tell us, we can set our doubts aside, as the article quoted above is indeed real. It was written by one

Volunteering increases health and happiness, decreases stress
" "Volunteering builds health by engaging people in activities that strengthen communities and personal health at the same time." – Dr. Carol Simon"A new mixed mode survey released by UnitedHealth Group and the Optum Institute finds that volunteering is linked to better physical, mental and emotional health. The study illustrates that employers benefit from employees who volunteer in terms of better employee health and in professional-skills development that employees use in the workplace.
Harris Interactive surveyed 3,351 adults, on behalf of United Health Group and the Optum Institute. The online and telephone survey was fielded from February 9 to March 18, 2013. The survey results were weighted to be representative of the total U.S. adult population. Respondents were general-population members of an online consumer research panel or recruited through random-digit-dial methods and interviewed by mobile or landline telephones. Based on a Researchscape assessment of the questionnaire and methodology, this survey is somewhat likely to be representative of U.S. consumers in general.
- Health: volunteers say that they feel better physically, mentally and emotionally
- Stress: volunteering helps people manage and lower their stress levels
- Purpose: volunteers feel a deeper connection to communities and to others
- Engagement: volunteers are more informed health care consumers, and more engaged and involved in managing their health
Volunteering makes people feel physically healthier: 76% of respondents said that they have felt physically healthier as a result of volunteering.
Volunteering has made me feel physically healthier.
Volunteering also improves people's mental health: 94% of respondents reported that volunteering has improved their mood.
Volunteering improves my mood.
- employers can expect lower health care costs and higher productivity from employees who volunteer
- volunteering can develop employees' work skills, which benefits employer and employee
- volunteers report that volunteering helps them build teamwork and time-management skills; fosters stronger relationships with colleagues; and supports professional networking
- volunteer activities lead to stronger positive feelings toward an employer when volunteer programs are supported in the workplace
Volunteers in the study report lower stress levels: 78% of respondents report that volunteering lowers their levels of stress. Other established research shows that reducing employee stress contributes to higher productivity and levels of engagement. A separate survey on family vacation stress by HomeAway found that stress prevents 46% of travelers from enjoying family vacations.
Volunteering lowers my stress levels.

Official: Dodge Dart Registry helps you crowdsource money for your next ride [w/video]
Filed under: Car Buying, Sedan, Etc., Videos, Dodge
To be honest, we're surprised something like this didn't pop up sooner. Chrysler is riffing on gift registries for couples getting married or expecting babies and cross-pollinating it with a social media funding website like Kickstarter to help customers buy its 2013 Dodge Dart. The Dodge Dart Registry allows people to build and customize a new Dart exactly how they want it, then let other people purchase some or all of the components as gifts.
The registry lets you add features like dark headlights, dual exhaust, various wheels and even interior options without choosing a specific trim level. This sounds a lot like the system Scion uses to let its customers configure cars, and this could be a great idea for Dodge. Of course, this system has the added benefit of being a social media affair for you to share with your friends… you know, so they can help pay for some of the parts, too.
The best thing about the registry is that you can configure your dream Dart from the comfort of your home computer, which strikes us as much better than walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond for the better part of an afternoon with an electronic scanner. The one thing that Dodge doesn't offer? "Thank You" cards. Those are on you.
For more information about how to get your friends and family to help buy you a Dodge Dart, Chrysler has provided a video and press release, which we've posted below.

47th Flying Training Wing public affairs
2/6/2009 -
LAUGHLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --
-- Every year, nearly 400 brand new officers graduate from Laughlin's intense 52-week Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Class and earn their wings.
However, before they get that opportunity, a large majority are placed as casual or transitional students, which means they are waiting for their class to start.
While in casual status, the soon-to-be students are assigned to workplaces around Laughlin to help any way they can and learn about the support side of the Air Force.
Recently, a few lieutenants received recognition for work they've been accomplishing during their stay at the 47th Installation Support Squadron.
"We have about a dozen student lieutenants come through and arguably, all have
truly worked hard. Everything from airfield waivers to environmental permits to mapping communication lines and even great squadron executive work, "said said Lt. Col. John Enyeart, 47th ISS commander. "Although, there has been one key officer that has really shined above the rest, 2nd Lt. John Thompson."
Lieutenant Thompson, a casual lieutenant assigned to the 47th ISS, has been with the ISS for about five months and he has been the sole coordinator and "go to" guy on several projects that he volunteered for, said Sharon Moore, 47th ISS programs flight chief.
"He stepped up to be the project manager of a construction project we had on the flight line when our regular project manager was not available, thus keeping a $6 million project on track," said Colonel Enyeart.
Not only did he help the 47th ISS stay the course, but he was also very eager to help with much more, said Colonel Enyeart. But his prior experience with construction was a key asset.
"When we thought our entire construction project might cause traffic flow problems, he fixed the problem quickly and it only cost us a few buckets of paint," said Colonel Enyeart. Lieutenant Thompson devised a well-researched plan to restripe the vehicle lanes along the apron, which he briefed to Col. John Doucette, 47th Flying Training Wing commander, for approval. "I don't know what we would have done the last couple months without him; he has truly been asset to our team."
Lieutenant Thompson said he knew he was there to help but never thought he would have so many opportunities to make a difference.
"It feels really good to know I could help while I was in casual status," he said. "I've had a lot of fun at the 47th ISS and a lot of chances to learn new things. I can't wait to see what else the Air Force has in store for me."
Along with Lieutenant Thompson, another officer in casual status was also noted for using their engineering skills with the 47th ISS.
Ms. Moore said among many other projects, 2nd Lt. Thomas Laliberte fixed a problem that has been on-going for more than a year. He ensured repair of a dormitory plumbing problem by photographing every single piece of plumbing and then redesigned the pipe flow. This repair fixed every leak in the 150-room dormitory quickly, saving the 47th ISS thousands of dollars for investigation and design.
"Regardless of the fact that these officers are here to earn their wings, they have helped us tremendously by applying the skills and education they already have," said Colonel Enyeart. "The caliber of character and education these Lieutenants have brought to us has truly been amazing; I anticipate many good things for them when they have to leave us."

The StudentsFirst 2014 State Policy Report Card (SPRC) results are based on an assessment of state- specific statutes, regulations, policies and/or directives adopted or enacted as of December 20, 2013, from 50 states and the District of Columbia. Legislation or policies that were proposed, but not adopted or enacted, as of December 20, 2013, were not considered.
To assign grades, StudentsFirst developed a scoring rubric for each of the 24 policy objectives evaluated in the SPRC. Each state's education policies were analyzed against this rubric and scored using a 0 to 4 scale, with 4 representing the strongest lever for reform. Anchor policies were weighed three times higher (3x).
StudentsFirst performed an initial analysis and grades were assigned using publicly-available sources and materials. Once the initial analysis was complete and initial scores were assigned, this information was sent to each respective state's governing education entity for review, input, and comments prior to the assignment of final scores, grades, and rankings.

As parents of young children, you know there's nothing they love more than hearing the same story over and over again. Although the children never get tired of this repetition, many adults do. Because reading stories aloud is probably the best thing parents can do to help your child become successful students throughout their lives, why not record your child's favorite stories on tape?
Now, your child can hear your voice while browsing a book ... at any time of day or night. Every time they hear the tape, your voice will keep the same enthusiasm and sense of joy as the very first time. If your child attends day care, preschool, or pre-kindergarten, talk to his or her teacher about the possibility of sending these tapes to school. In this case, the tapes have two purposes. At home, your child will be able to read along with stories won their own. Also, recordings of you reading can be very reassuring for a child especially a child who is suffering from separation. Being able to listen to some of the parents reading a book during nap often soothes even the most restless child.

The last time a La Plata football player went from Charles County to a Football Championship or Football Bowl Subdivision school it was in 2006, when the Warriors went winless and offensive lineman Eric Jobe signed to play at West Virginia.
Eight years later the Warriors are coming off a 2-8 season and will send Jvon Simmons, a 6-foot-4, 225 pounds wide receiver, to Durham to play for North Carolina Central this fall. Simmons, a three-year varsity starter, was often asked by by people in the area why he didn't transfer to a school where he might get more looks.
"People were always telling me, 'why are you going to La Plata?'" Simmons said. "But my parents stood behind me and stuck it in my head that the team you go on doesn't make you, it's how hard you perform."
He considered St. Mary's Ryken, DeMatha, or even another neighboring public school but didn't want to sit out a year after transferring. So Simmons attended camps on his own and played with Westlake and North Point players at 7-on-7 tournaments, eventually garnering offers from Toledo and Appalachian State and interest from Vanderbilt and Maryland, among others.
He finished 2012 with 27 catches for 437 yards and five touchdowns in an H-back role. An ankle injury took him out of four games in 2013, but he managed 335 yards on 22 receptions with one touchdown.
"When I started varsity as a sophomore, they used me a lot and I just integrated with the team," Simmons said. "I looked at it like, why would you leave a school that's using you and giving you the ball all the time to go somewhere you won't get used all the time?"
Simmons considered going to junior college to pull up his grades and pursue a scholarship at a larger school but didn't want to risk another injury keeping him back.
N.C. Central offered a full ride and he "felt like he was home" after a visit. His older sister attended North Carolina A&T, so the state and area was familiar, and the coaches made it clear they expected him to contribute immediately.
Getting picked up by the Eagles is just another step forward for La Plata football, Simmons said, which has finished .500 just one time in the last eight years.
"I definitely think a lot of people have been sleeping on Maryland kids," he said. "I believe we are on the come-up, now that a lot of people are getting looked at."

DURHAM, N.C. – What images do the Pawtucket Red Sox conjure? For longtime fans, the question could elicit all kinds of responses.
You think of Ben Mondor, Pawtucket's late owner who would have been in his glory this week, enjoying every moment of the pomp and circumstance leading up to tonight's Triple-A National Championship.
You also think of beautiful McCoy Stadium, a befitting monument to Mondor's tireless efforts to build a first-class, fan-friendly ballpark out of the rundown facility he inherited.
You think of all the ballplayers who proved their talents in Pawtucket before going on to greater glory, with names like Rice, Boggs, Clemens, Pedroia and Lester.
You think of the historic games that put the PawSox franchise in the national spotlight: "The Longest Game," of course, but also the classic pitchers' duel between Dave Righetti and Mark Fidrych, and the perfect games tossed at McCoy by Tomo Okha and Bronson Arroyo.
From the moment Mondor began resuscitating the floundering operation in 1977, the PawSox have had a knack for instilling memories, both of special moments and inspiring players. But one thing has been elusive – a winning pedigree.
In minor league baseball, the goal of winning ultimately takes a backseat to the goal of developing players and sending them to the major leagues, and as such, it's no criticism of their management or players to note that the PawSox went 28 years between Governors' Cup titles.
The minor league system cultivates young talent, and provides major-league-ready depth for the big-league club. At the Triple-A level, those priorities are even more acute, since that's the first place the parent club turns to when a hole appears in its own roster.
As the PawSox skipper, Arnie Beyeler knows and understands that development supersedes everything else. If some up-and-comer goes 0-for-5 but the team ends up winning, then it could still be considered a bad day at the office. If the top pitching prospect is throwing a no-hitter, but his pitch count is near the predetermined guidelines, his night will end with handshakes in the dugout rather than hugs and high fives on the mound following a completed gem. It's something the players, coaches and fans all accept as part of the minor league experience.
But that's why Pawtucket's playoff march this year has been such a refreshing surprise. The white-hot Sox have won six out of seven playoff games, and the memories they are making this year include the distinction of being the International League's best for 2012.
"What's nice is that when you get to the playoffs, wins and losses matter," said Pawtucket team president Mike Tamburro Monday afternoon, while watching his team take batting practice at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. "We all understand what the role of development is, but I think we (meaning PawSox staffers) and the fans have done a great job in understanding and supporting that developing role.
"But when playoff time comes, it's winning baseball that's the key," Tamburro continued, "It's been wonderful to rally behind wins and losses and a team that wanted to separate itself from everyone else and a team that ultimately went on to win the Governors' Cup."
Beyeler echoed Tamburro's sentiments: "The situation we've been in is that every game has meant something."
Nate Spears said he and his teammates have been on the same page since the march toward Durham kicked off nearly two weeks ago.
"We came into the playoffs as a team saying that we're going to win," declared the infielder, now in his third year with the Red Sox organization. "We'd wake up and come to the field with a lot of confidence and we got it done."
Over all odds, the 2012 PawSox have succeeded in creating a winning aura that has been championship caliber every sense, and tonight represents a chance to make more history.
"What makes me so proud of this team is that they've surprised all of us and given us all so much more than we anticipated," remarked Tamburro. "That's why this 2012 club stands out and why this will always be a special, special year."
Here's hoping PawSox fans can add another memory to the annals.

After a losing 2013-2014 campaign with one of the youngest college squads in the country, members of the Harvard men's hockey team have viewed next season as an opportunity to benefit from more experienced leadership on the ice. The Crimson can now look forward to more experience behind the bench, as well.
Former Holy Cross head coach Paul Pearl will join Harvard as an associate head coach at the start of the 2014-2015 season. He will work alongside head coach Ted Donato '91 and assistant coach Rob Rassey.
"I think it's an exciting hire for us," Donato said. "Paul brings a wealth of experience. He's done a great job off and on the ice of developing guys, and I think he'll be a great addition to our staff. He'll give us some heft in all the areas."
After days of rumors, Harvard announced Pearl's hiring on Thursday. Pearl leaves a 297-293-69 record through 19 seasons with Holy Cross and is the winningest coach in the program's history.
"He's obviously a respected coach," junior co-captain Kyle Criscuolo said. "He had a great career at Holy Cross.... I think he'll get along great with our coaches, and it's a big pick up for us."
Pearl will replace departing assistant coach Albie O'Connell, who has taken another assistant post at his alma mater, Boston University, after three seasons with Harvard.
"It's tough to lose a guy like Albie O'Connell," Criscuolo said. "He's been around the game forever. He was a great coach for us, and it's tough to lose him, especially to BU."
According to Donato, the new title of associate head coach intends to recognize Pearl's experience, track record, and success as a head coach. Pearl has served as a head coach in more than twice as many NCAA games as Donato, who is 136-156-39 through 10 seasons with the Crimson.
Pearl graduated from Holy Cross in 1989. The Winthrop, Mass. native skated in 125 games and scored 77 career points as a defenseman for the Crusaders.
As a head coach, Pearl served two separate stints for the Crusaders. After his first two seasons behind the bench in Worcester, Pearl moved to Providence for the 1996-1997 season to serve as the assistant coach of the Brown men's hockey team and the head coach of the Brown men's golf team.
Returning to Holy Cross for the 1997-98 season, Pearl coached the Crusaders in 2003-2004 and 2005-2006 to the program's only two conference championships and NCAA tournament appearances.
In the first round of the 2006 national tournament, 15th-seeded Holy Cross upset No. 2 Minnesota. The 4-3 overtime win by Pearl's squad marked the first-ever tournament victory by a 15th of 16th seed since the NCAA had expanded the championship field to 16 teams in 2003.
"That game really sent shockwaves across the college hockey landscape," Donato said. "It was quite remarkable and quite an accomplishment."
Pearl has coached nine more seasons and won 130 more games than the next longest-tenured Holy Cross coach. After directing the Crusaders to its first consecutive 20-win seasons in 2011-12 and 2012-13, Pearl oversaw Holy Cross's first losing record in four years with a 14-22-3 finish in 2013-14.
Holy Cross announced Pearl's resignation on May 16—two weeks before Harvard announced Pearl's hiring.

Going Offshore: The Cayman Islands
Dowling, Kevin, The CPA Journal
MOST MAJOR INVESTMENT COMPANIES have offshore funds which are offered to U.S. residents.
Off-shore investing in U.S. markets has become a mainstay of the U.S. financial markets. Offshore financial centers such as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and the Netherlands Antilles, for example, have become renowned for their capabilities as a base for funds that deal regularly with U.S. markets.
Below is a brief introduction to the Cayman Islands and some of the ways individuals have used offshore investments to their advantage.
What Are the Cyn Islands?
The Cayman Islands are located about 475 miles south of Miami in the Caribbean. They are a British Crown Colony; the British government handles the islands' external relations and defense and appoints government officials. The islands have a local executive branch that is drawn from the majority party in the legislative assembly representing the islands' population.
The population of the Caymans is about 35,000, approximately 40% of whom are from outside the islands, with substantial representation from Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. Internationals primarily staff the nearly 100 banks, 29 law firms, and numerous financial services enterprises that have established representation in the islands. The islands have become a key player in the world's financial market: Currently, the islands are home to the fifth largest financial center in the world.
There are no direct taxes imposed within the Caymans on individuals or companies; government income derives primarily through the collection of import duties and fees and through the Caymans' extensive tourism business. Foreign ownership of real estate is permitted.
Privacy is held at a premium within the Caymans. The government enacted the Confidential Relationships (Preservations) law, which prohibits the unauthorized dissemination of any business information. Failure to comply with the law is a criminal offense and carries with it fines and/or imprisonment if information is improperly disclosed.
U.S. Investors
The reasons why U.S. individuals or entities may opt for offshore investing are varied. Some individuals may wish to establish a mechanism for protecting their assets by transferring them pursuant to an orderly estate plan or structuring asset protection trusts.
One wealthy individual, for example, entered a new venture which greatly increased his wealth, but also increased his risk of encountering potentially expensive law suits. He sought to transfer his assets to a separate entity in the Caymans. By taking these steps, he was then able to increase the level of protection for those assets from any adverse developments from his new venture. Other U.S. individuals and institutional investors may find it easier to use offshore investment funds to invest in securities of companies not listed or registered in the U.S. For this reason, most major investment companies have offshore funds which are offered to U.S. residents.
Some U.S. investors take advantage of offshore investment centers simply to avoid U.S. taxation on business ventures not specifically related to activities in the U.S. For example, after establishing a healthy business in the U.S., an American importer of products manufactured in the People's Republic of China was ready to expand distribution to the European market. By setting up his own company in the Caymans, he established an intermediary between China and Europe and, in the process, deferred taxation on the services which he provided for his European venture. …

Ras Kronik releases 'This Morning'
Ras Kronik - File
Recording artiste Ras Kronik has scored big with his latest single, This Morning (Bona). The track has been released on theLove Bird/Dancebeat label.
The track is number 20 on the New York Reggae chart and has given Ras Kronik his second entry on the respected chart, following his Top 10 peak with The Real Thing (remix) last year.
A very upbeat Ras Kronik is ecstatic about the latest turn of events in his career. "The response to the song has been awesome. The people love it. Everywhere I go I hear people telling me how wonderful the song is," he said.
The Las Vegas, Nevada-based artiste, who has been carving out a niche for himself in reggae circles on the West Coast of the United States, said the idea for the song came about after waking up one morning.
In the wake of the success of the single, Ras Kronik is preparing to release a new album called Wild & Free. This Morning (Bona) is featured on the album.
Last year, Ras Kronik released the album, The Real Thing, which is available at all online digital platforms. It featured collaborations with Las Vegas-based reggae band Bonafide as well as newcomer Poem.
"My last album is still doing well, especially the songs Feelings, The Real Thing, Intimate, and The Way To Life. I also released the video for Feelings, which is a great video," added Kronik, who is booked for a number of major festivals and shows stateside.

Dr. Rebecca C. Barker's Ratings
I set up an appointment with Dr Barker a month before because she was not available for that long. I was a few minutes late because it was my first time to see her and I had trouble finding the facility. The signage at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Facility did not show which of the 2 sign in areas (wings) was for her. I waited at the wrong wing for other patients to sign in. When it was my turn they told me I had to sign in at the other wing. i waited at the other wing and when I got up to the desk they told me I was too late for the appointment and that Dr Barker was a stickler for promptness so I could not have her as my doctor because that was her rule. She is clearly an a... retentive. A doctor that has no compassion and doesn't care about her patients or those who would become her patients is not one I would recommend.

text: Paris, April 23, 2009 When President Barack Obama was in Strasbourg for the NATO summit at the beginning of April, he made a plea for more European soldiers for Afghanistan.He hasnt had much of a reply 65 men with two F-16s promised by Belgium; and from France, 12 trainers and a small troop contingent (probably from the gendarmerie) for the elections in Afghanistan next month, with a larger French contribution to the new combined European Gendarmerie Force which has already dispatched 300 to 400 men and women, all to improve Afghanistans own national police, so far without conspicuous success.This suggests that the Europeans think the Afghan adventure a waste, or of little importance to Europe, if not a danger, but that the Americans have to humored. Certainly few can have taken it seriously when Obama told his NATO audience that Europe is more menaced than ever by al Qaeda. The reason? Geography.Europe is closer to Afghanistan than is the United States, hence easier for the Al Qaeda terrorists and the waves of bearded Afghan militants to reach.But why? That is always the question. Why should Afghan Muslim fundamentalists want to attack Europeans? The British feel threatened, but it nearly always turns out that the people arrested for plotting against Britain are disgruntled British citizens of Pakistani descent, born in London or Manchester immigrant housing estates, usually unemployed and embittered.Last Wednesday the British counterterrorism authorities set free the last two of 12 Pakistani men who two weeks ago Prime Minister Gordon Brown had said were part of a very big terrorist plot, and which the police said would involve mass casualties. The men were seized in an operation involving hundreds of police raiding ten locations including a university library. (The men were all in Britain on student visas.) However there turned out to be something wrong here, since the police failed to find any evidence of a mass attack, and the men were released and put on planes for home.At least the alleged terrorists who went on trial last week in Duseldorf are charged with being in possession of 12 drums of hydrogen peroxide and military detonators (and since they have been imprisoned all have worn beards, which seems pretty conclusive!). One of them is a Turkish citizen, two are Germans converted to Islam, and the fourth is a German with Turkish parents. Al Qaeda is not known to have a Turko-German wing.The Madrid bombings of 2004 which killed nearly 200 were linked to Algerians. The London Underground bombings remain unsolved. The Paris bombings in the 1980s were committed by Algerians in revenge for Frances relations with an anti-Islamist Algerian government.In short, Europe certainly is not immune to terrorist attacks, what with these bombings, the Red Brigades in Germany and Italy, the assassinations of foreign military attaches in Greece, carried out in revenge for the western-supported Colonels dictatorship three decades ago: but these all seem to be native growths, none with proven connection to al Qaeda. They all have to do with European or American official relationships with the Saudi Arabian, Pakistani, Algerian, and Greek governments, or with European support for U.S. policiesIf Barack Obama had wanted to give the NATO allies prudent advice about how to avoid terrorist attacks, he should have told them to have nothing to do with the American War on Terror, even if it is now under Obama management and renamed an Overseas Contingency Operation.The Europeans dont have a dog in the fight against the Taliban, who never did anything to them (at least since the last Afghan War in the 19th century), and who show strong signs of winning control of Northern Pakistan, Kabul and the strategically important parts of Afghanistan. Bad enough that the United States is humiliated once again in a useless war, like Vietnam and Iraq, contributing to the existing hatred of people in non-western world for Washington.Europe should leave bad enough alone in this situation, and hope that President Obama is too intelligent not to work his way out of this war. But most of the bureaucratic forces, and those of institutionalized foreign policy opinion in Washington, seems committed to making Overseas Contingency Operations a permanent feature of American national life. The allies are justified in taking a pass.© Copyright 2009 by Tribune Media Services International. All Rights Reserved.

I'm a great believer in watching other businesses to learn what works and what doesn't.
In fact, one of my favorite quotes is from Catherine Aird, who said:
"If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning."
Below, five good examples and horrible warnings for your wellness business:
Title Nine Sports
Who are they? The business name "Title 9" refers to a federal law best known for prohibiting sex discrimination in schools in athletics. Title 9's the reason that schools offer sports for boys and girls…because it wasn't always that way.
And Title Nine Sports, founded in 1989, was a pioneer in the sale of women's athletic apparel. Before Title Nine, women mostly wore small sizes of guy gear.
What works?
These folks have been real marketing and product innovators.
Title 9 introduced the idea of real-life models in their catalogs, emphasizing that super-cool "get it done" women are fit.
And they realized that finding the right sports bra was the #1 source of dissatisfaction among women exercisers – so they've got easily the largest sports bra assortment available anywhere, representing multiple manufacturers.
They also pioneered the concept of different tiers of sports-bra support depending on size and activity.
And what doesn't:
The real-life models are always superwomen who do it all. And the stories are increasingly extreme, leaving "normal" women feeling like underachievers (yes, one woman proudly reports giving birth in a horse trough). Originally a clever idea, but it's got a distinctly elitist feel these days.
And the product innovation is long gone. Title 9's idea of "extended sizes" is petite and tall. The biggest size tops out at a 14-16 XL and I bet lots of those run small.
(And all those real-life superwomen? They all look like "S" to me – never M, L, or XL. And never ever women of size).
Their online store is dated. No enhancements in close to ten years. Want to buy a shirt? Title Nine shows you all of them in a grid, about ten to a page. You just have to click through all the pages one at a time. Forget looking at just the ones in your size, or just the long-sleeved blue ones in a wicking fabric.
Customer reviews? Nope. Lots of product images from different angles? Nope. (Really, shouldn't Title 9 have come up with this innovation?)
Items are frequently sold out – but you don't find out until you add them to your cart. And then you can't tell whether you were allowed to order them on backorder or not. Other online retailers figured all this out years ago.
Bottom-line: There's a lot of competition in this sector now (Athletica, Lululemon, and Lucy, to name just a few), and Title Nine's just not keeping up.
Penzey's Spices
Who are they? A family-owned company that sells dried spices and herbs online, through a catalog, and in their own retail stores.
What works?
These folks are walking the talk. They believe that cooking brings people, families and communities together. They've stopped selling gourmet salts because they think glamorizing salt encourages people to eat more of it – and they're worried about the health effects.
Their catalog tells stories that literally bring tears to your eyes, with a fascinating variety of photos, stories, and letters. The last issue had a heartbreaking story – and the favorite cookie recipe – of a young man known to the Penzey family who died recently in a an accident. In a catalog!
Each catalog has a letter from the company founder, Bill Penzey, that's clearly written by him and not a marketing staffer. As you'll see in these examples, it's always reflective and thoughtful, with a dose of humor and approachability. He mentions product, but it's not a hard-core pitch. He seems like someone you'd like to know.
Importantly, the spices and herbs are great – fresh and lots of variety, plus many hard-to-find items. Why's that important? Because no matter how cool your company is, attitude can't overcome unimpressive products.
And what doesn't?
About the only thing that jumps out at me is that lots of the reader recipes are super-indulgent and a bit old-fashioned. Spices and herbs are a powerful tool for folks trying to eat healthy, so it'd be great to see more reader ideas along those lines. But I'm sure it'll happen with time.
Duluth Trading Company
Who are they? A web and catalog retailer that specializes in tough functional clothing for guys who work really hard. They also have a women's line.
What works?
Their website and catalog reinforce their core message: this stuff ain't for sissies.
They know their niche and they beat it to death (which is a good thing). Wondering how tough their Kevlar gloves are? They tried them out on a bed of nails.
They have a board of tradesmen advisors who try the gear and provide feedback
They solve real problems with humor that fits their audience, as demonstrated by their flagship products, "Ballroom Jeans" and "Longtail T's" .
No marketing fluff here – they spell out the features AND the benefits in specific and concrete terms for each product. For example, pants made from fire hose canvas are soft and durable thanks to double the threads in both directions, plus stain resistance to grease, oil, mud, coffee and more.
What doesn't:
The men's catalog relies on product drawings, not photos. Worth testing: do customers buy more, or experience fewer returns, if photos are used – perhaps for selected items? And while the copy's usually great, there are still times when you can tell it was written by a female marketer! Just doesn't have that authentic ring.
Sunnyland Farms
Who are they? A Georgia-based family-owned catalog retailer of pecans and other nuts.
What works?
Their catalog truly puts a personal face on the company and honors the work of all the hourly workers who create their products. And the nuts themselves sound homegrown and delicious…no worries about dubious imports here!
They tell the story of the company with old family photos and anecdotes. Then, they move to the modern day with pictures (and names!) of all the workers who process the nuts. In fact, seems like just about everyone has a title underscoring their value to the company. You see company picnic photographs, school celebrations, family pix and lots more. And they even give a shout-out to their outsourced call center, complete with photos!
And like Penzey's, they share the sad times, too, like Harry Willson's death a couple of years ago.
The website's not nearly as effective as the catalog, but you can get a sense of their "family feeling" here and here.
What doesn't work?
That personal touch is barely evident on the website. And the site itself is really underwhelming. Many items don't have photos and the marketing copy is not effective. One product's description says it's popular because of the "tin it's shipped in, with a pineapple motif." Show me a picture, tell me about the designer, relate a story from a customer about how the beautiful packaging makes a difference. Otherwise, it's just marketing fluff.
Who are they: The well-known international deli sandwich franchise.
What works?
Subway's done an excellent job of positioning itself as a healthy fast food alternative. Which is pretty amazing, because the truth is that their menu is loaded with sandwiches and extras full of saturated fat and sodium, with little to offer in terms of whole grains or fruits and veggies. Sounds a lot like most fast food places, doesn't it?
True, you can order lower-calorie, healthier choices at Subway, just like you can at McDonald's or Wendy's. But that's not what most people order. And I bet most Subway customers who SAY they're going because it's healthier actually end up choosing items that aren't all that "skinny."
So what's the difference between Subway and McDonald's? The difference is that Subway's done an excellent job of marketing itself as the healthy alternative.
What doesn't work?
Subway's marketing is cynical and disingenuous. It plays on the desire of people to eat healthier food, while continuing to strongly promote foods that aren't actually smart everyday choices.
This creates a risk of backlash, and enables future competition from more "authentic" companies whose marketing accurately reflects its product line.

text: Odessa Series was the second collaboration between the young designer Masha Reva and Syndicate of Kiev. The concept was about a new take on Ukrainian kitsch and an ironical view on how Ukrainians desire to look luxurious. The looks presented paradoxical elements of imagery like an expensive jewelery piece from Christie's Auction House, placed next to a cheap vintage brooch found in Odessa flea market, defined as contemporary Ukrainians fashion DNA. The name for this second series came from Masha Reva's home city Odessa, which is beautifully situated on the Black sea coast of Ukraine. The capsule collection represented a great fusion of traditional Ukrainian with many other global cultures and nationalities.

Ghana recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over Egypt in an international friendly ahead of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations on Thursday night.
Udinese midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu was the man to get the ball rolling for his side with the first goal in the first period, and despite occasional threats from their opponent, the Ghanaians marched on to score another two goals and claim a sound victory.
The West African giants started superbly with great inter-positional and calm passes from the heart of midfield.
Badu opened the floodgate with the opener in the 18th minute with a solid header from Mubarak Wakaso's cross that beat goalkeeper Ahmed Al Shenawy.
The Black Stars begun the second half brightly with youngster Richmond Boakye-Yiadom replacing Emmanuel Clottey in the 46th minute and the on-loan Juventus striker wasted no time in registering his name on the scoresheet with the second.
Boakye kept his composure to slot home from close range after connecting beautifully from an intelligent pass from Kwadwo Asamoah in the 54th minute.
Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu could have bagged a brace after his searing header was cleared off the line by Mohammed Abdul Shafy.
Captain Asamoah Gyan who came on in the second to replace Rabiu Mohammed sealed victory with a cool finish 7th minutes from time.
There are however injury concerns for the Ghanaians after midfielder Anthony Annan limped off early in the first half, with his position taken by Derek Boateng.
People will say it is unwise to read too much into such friendly matches, yet critics would have been doing exactly that had Kwesi Appiah's men lost.
Instead they coped quite admirably, scoring fine goals and defending capably against the former African champions.
There are greater challenges ahead, and perhaps more motivated opponents, but this was a performance which could derive varied interpretations.
The Ghanaians will perhaps face their biggest test when they play Tunisia in their last warm-up game on Sunday.
With the continental showpiece around the corner, Africa's international teams are in full swing, testing out their last-minute tactical and personnel changes before the big tournament kicks off on January 19.

Set up base camp at the Altrincham Lodge hotel Manchester
More of an airport motel than airport hotel, the Altrincham Lodge is an ideal stopover for sightseers on a shoestring. This cut-price venue is a room-only package, but dont worry, youre not expected to starve during your stay here! The Pelican Inn next door is where you can fill up on tasty grub from this Flaming Grills chain, which provides breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Whats more, this comfortable Manchester airport hotel is six miles from the airport, so while you wont be deafened by the blasts of Boeing 747s, youll still be just 12 to 15 minutes away from them. And despite being on the busy A56 main road, the Altrincham Lodge is set so far back that you can enjoy some peace and quiet before the travelling rush sets in.
While youre not next door munching your way through the menu or playing on the fruit machines, theres free wifi throughout the hotel for making those last-minute checks on flight details and sending emails to loved ones before you depart. There are even fax and photocopying facilities available at the 24-hour reception desk, so whatever time you arrive you can get that last-minute passport copy made, should you need it!
No need to get lodged here, go out and explore!
No it was a horrible place and I will never return there ever. The first room we had stank of smoke even though it was nonsmoking. We then moved and it was still dirty, noisy and felt like an unsafe place. Very nearly left as it was so bad but had to be up early for a flight.Miss Roberts (Manchester Altrincham Lodge)
The room was very comfortable and just what we required. The staff were very helpful too. A good start to our holiday.Mrs Bower (Manchester Altrincham Lodge)
The hotel is situated a bit further from the airport than I thought and at the time of day we were checking in clashed with rush hour, took ages to get there, the morning trip ws quicker though being just before the rush hour.Ms Simons (Manchester Altrincham Lodge)
the hotel its self was satisfactory, the staff, lady on reception very nice and very helpful. Didn't like the food in the adjoining pub wouldn't visit it again but would go back to the hotel.
Dated from the outside but clean on the inside management were good very near to Trafford centre and a good steak in the sizzerl next door .Mrs Binding (Manchester Altrincham Lodge)
Excellent service as always from Holiday Extras and look forward to booking with them again. Altrincham Lodge was superb and would definitely stay there again before an early morning flight.Miss Fryer (Manchester Altrincham Lodge)

Overall rating: 84% by 162 guests
If you enjoy getting out and about when you go on holiday, youll no doubt appreciate the nearby transport links around the Altrincham Lodge. The metro is just five minutes away and will whisk you into the city centre for some Mancunian culture, or the sports fanatics among you may wish to hop on the metro to the Old Trafford football stadium and cricket ground. Theyre both within easy reach of this conveniently located airport hotel. And if you enjoy the leafy outdoors but dont have time to wander too far, Woodheys Park is a large green space immediately opposite the Altrincham Lodge; a great way to work up an appetite before your evening feast at the Pelican.
This comfortable 3-star venue is fantastic value for money and the hearty grub at the Pelican Inn restaurant next door will have you jet set and ready to fly.
We recommend the Altrincham Lodge Manchester airport hotel for:
Saving the pounds - This B&B accommodation is right on the money when it comes to low-cost travel thats still close to the airport.
A plentiful menu at the Pelican Inn - The adjacent public house has a huge menu guaranteed to satisfy any hungry traveller. Theres plenty of choice for children here too.
Staying connected - The free wifi throughout the hotel is a real treat - something you might be hard pushed to find in some of the bigger named brands! Even the Pelican inn next door has wireless access for surfing while you sup.
Arrival at the Altrincham Lodge
You can check in from 15:00. Parking overnight is included in the price.
- Leave the M60 at junction 7, taking a right onto the A56 from the west or a left from the east.
- After 3 miles, you'll see the Pelican Inn pub on your left.
- Pull into the pub's car park and you'll find the hotel.
If you're catching a taxi from the airport to the hotel, it will cost a lot more than the hotel's transfer price. You'd be best calling the hotel and asking if they can arrange a cheaper rate for you with their preferential taxi firm.
Checking Out
You need to check out by 11:00. The hotel will arrange a taxi to the hotel for you at a preferential rate though a local firm. This will cost £12 and take 10 minutes. If you book a taxi through another firm, this is likely to cost a lot more.
Getting to and from Manchester airport
The hotel can arrange an approved taxi firm to transport you to the airport in the morning. The journey takes about 10 minutes and will cost approximately £12. It may cost more to use a different taxi firm.
