CLEVELAND, OHIO (APRIL 25, 2012) – Sacred Heart Media is pleased to announce the relaunch of CatholicJobs.com. For over eight years, CatholicJobs.com has been the leading publisher of job listings focused on Catholic schools, churches, hospitals, ministries, and other religious or pro-life organizations. With over 250,000 pageviews a month, employers often receive dozens of serious inquiries from prospects, while job seekers have hundreds of openings to consider.
Since 2003, CatholicJobs.com has relied on word-of-mouth and search engine referrals to grow. The relaunch begins an aggressive new marketing campaign with the goal of doubling its user base by the end of the year. Soon, Catholics across the nation will learn of CatholicJobs.com from Catholic newspapers, magazines, radio, websites, church bulletins, and job placement services.
The relaunch also brings a host of new features to the website, including a re-imagined user interface and integration with LinkedIn, the world's largest online network of professionals.
"There's no reason why Catholic organizations should have to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on recruiting someone, " said Sacred Heart Media president and lead developer, Tim Harrison. "Faithful Catholics are eager to work for the Church. It's simply a matter of connecting them."
Eric Dill, the Director of Human Resources for the Diocese of Metuchen, New Jersey, had this to say: "For nearly five years, we've relied on CatholicJobs.com as an important part of our recruiting strategy. The site is extremely easy to use, is cost effective and has enabled us to successfully source qualified candidates who meet our unique job requirements. CatholicJobs.com is a terrific alternative to advertising in the secular press and other job-posting sites such as Monster. I recommend them with enthusiasm."

Not all (or even most) police are needlessly violent. But it is rational to conclude, upon seeing a person in a police uniform, that this person can—if he wishes to—abuse his power with near impunity.
Money and Banks
James Grant's new book Bagehot: The Life and Times of the Greatest Victorian, reveals there we can still learn a lot from the world that existed before our modern era of central banking.
American politicians used to "think big." Americans nowadays seem to have lost their enthusiasm for that sort of thing. And that's a good thing.

The destruction of sound money over the past century stems from actions at the federal level, but there are steps which states can take — and even have already taken — to move toward sound money.
The academic trends in recent decades demonstrate just how far academia has fallen (or, alternatively, how bad it has always been) when it comes to fashionable political agendas.
Brazil's new president has made many statements favorable to many pro-market reforms. But will he focus on economic reforms or the social conservatism favored by many of his supporters?

In the early years of the United States, legal systems were far more localized and flexible. But elites preferred consistency over flexibility, and the rich could afford the more bureaucratic legal institutions that ordinary people could not.

Although holiday sales and events try to drive as many customers to retail stores as possible, a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research shows that the crowding may drive them away as well.
The issue arises when crowding results in people actually touching one another.
"For managers, a stranger's touch in the store means the money walks out of the store," writes Brett A. S. Martin (Queensland University of Technology). He conducted a series of field experiments in stores in southern England.
While in a store, half the consumers were briefly brushed lightly by a fellow customer as they walked out of the aisle. The other half had a fellow customer stand near them but not touch them. The "fellow customers" were relatively attractive people in their 30s. When the customers left the store, their time in the store was recorded, and they completed a questionnaire on what they thought of the store and the item they were looking at when they were touched.
The belief that men like being touched by women they don't know is not true, Martin finds. His experiments found that customers, men and women, who were touched by male or female strangers while looking at a product quickly left the store and did so with a negative view of the product they were looking at.
"Rather than cramming a store with goods and having narrow aisles, managers should think about giving people space to consider products without the risk of being bumped into by strangers," says Martin.
"For the brand manager of the product, it is vital that how products are displayed by retailers is considered in a brand's marketing strategy. It is not just about grabbing a customer's attention in-store with a good display or price promotion," Martin writes. "Brands that want to increase sales need to find ways to let customers view a product without being touched by others. If they are touched, they don't buy, and they leave store with a bad impression of your brand."

WOODSTOCK – Hebron's Village President pleaded guilty to cocaine charges and can remain in office.
John G. Jacobson, 65, was charged in January with felony possession of a controlled substance and unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, after police said about 3 grams of crack cocaine were found in his car.
In a plea deal accepted Wednesday by McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham, Jacobson pleaded guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge of attempted possession of a controlled substance. In exchange for his guilty plea, the felony charges were dropped.
Graham sentenced the village president to one year probation on the Class A misdemeanor.
Assistant State's Attorney Carlene Kay said that on Jan. 15, Jacobson made a substantial step in attempting to possess the drugs.
Outside the courtroom, neither Jacobson nor his attorney Mark Facchini, would comment for this article.
Under the Illinois Municipal Code, had Jacobson been found guilty of the felonies, he could not stay in office.
Charges against Jacobson were pending during the April election when he took a surprise victory over longtime incumbent Frank Beatty. Jacobson earned 61 percent of the vote.

Michael Jennings joins Roosters
|Michael Jemmings: Image credit: ABC
The Sydney Roosters believe the Michael Jennings signing coup makes them a complete team that can now challenge for the NRL premiership.
Jennings was granted a full release from his hefty Penrith deal on Tuesday, clearing the way for the star NSW centre to immediately join the Roosters on a four-year deal understood to be worth $2 million.
The addition of the brilliant 24-year-old, on top of recruits Sonny Bill Williams and James Maloney, has rocketed the Roosters into premiership contention.
Recruitment officer Peter O'Sullivan said it was a "great day" for the foundation club.
"He'll complete our footy team," O'Sullivan told AAP on Tuesday.
Jennings and New Zealand international Shaun Kenny-Dowall will be the Roosters strike centre pairing behind halves Maloney and Mitchell Pearce.
Anthony Minichiello will captain the team from the wing while Williams headlines a young, aggressive pack.
But Jennings provides the explosive try-scoring threat the Roosters have lacked in recent seasons.
"He's just got that pure speed that we may lack," O'Sullivan said.
"His ability to break the line and finish and score tries - it's a trait that very few players in the game have.
Jennings had been linked with several rival clubs, including Gold Coast and Cronulla, as the Panthers desperately tried to clear up salary cap space.
His Roosters contract is an entirely new deal, meaning Penrith will not be required to subsidise the deal as had been expected.
It opens the way for the Panthers to chase a marquee signing in 2014, with off-contract North Queensland, Maroons and Australia halfback Johnathan Thurston believed to be at the top of their wish-list.
Jennings also fell out of favour with Panthers boss Phil Gould, reportedly over attitude problems.
But O'Sullivan said after consulting Minichiello and Pearce, who played with Jennings at State of Origin level, the Roosters had no doubts over the quality of his character.
"Sometimes in a relationship things can go sour and perception is reality," he said.
"Sometimes it's better for players and clubs to part company and I think they were probably at that stage.
"We've got no qualms with him about (his attitude). I'm sure he'll come here and be a pro and be a leader."
When contacted Jennings declined to comment on the switch, but said in a statement that he was excited to join coach Trent Robinson's talent-laden roster, and also to reunite with Origin teammate Pearce.
Pearce played a large role in the recruitment of Jennings, who follows in the footsteps of Roosters great Brad Fittler in abandoning Penrith for Bondi.
"Mitchell knows him best and obviously Mini has played with him as well," O'Sullivan said.
"Their opinions were sourced and they couldn't wait to get him here.
"I'm sure they'll strike up a good combination."
Roosters chief operating officer of football Brian Canavan said Jennings, who has represented NSW five times, would add much-needed class to a backline after BJ Leilua's departure and Tautau Moga's knee injury.
"A player of immense talent, Michael is a great addition to our squad," Canavan said.
"Michael will add potency to our backline. NRL.COM
