In shock contrast, AC Milan just showed why it is criminal to write off one the greatest sides in the competitions history. A 2-0 victory over the Catalans has left this tie wide open despite the Rossoneri having one of the worst defensive records this season. Goal.com attempts to highlight some observations from this fantastic encounter at the San Siro.
Allegri must be given due credit for his tactics
The former Cagliari coach brought the Scudetto in his very first season at the San Siro and gave Juventus a close fight in his second. But critics labelled Massimiliano Allegri's success to the talent of a few individuals on the pitch namely Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The 45-year old coach was seen as a person with very little tactical acumen, who relied on the 'keep calm and pass to Ibra' approach.
However, Allegri hit back at those same critics through Milan's 2-0 victory over Barcelona in the Champions League by getting his act spot on. Lining up with his customary 4-3-3, with Kevin-Prince Boateng on the right of an attack that had Giampaolo Pazzini and Stephan El-Shaarawy, Milan were set up to hit Barcelona on the counter. Boateng in particular was exemplary in keeping Jordi Alba's influence as minimal as possible.
With Nigel de Jong and Antonio Nocerino out injured, Milan seemingly lacked bite in the middle of the pitch. Massimo Ambrosini and Sulley Muntari were tasked with shackling the prolific Barcelona midfielders as much as possible. Despite Barcelona hogging most of the possession as expected, they struggled to break down a resilient Milan side who defended in two banks of four with Pazzini being the furthermost player on the pitch.
It was a sign of just how disciplined the Rossoneri were when El Shaarawy sprinted nearly the full length of the pitch to cut off a pass made to Dani Alves near the Milan 18-yard area. Cristian Zapata and Philippe Mexes were a defensive delight as they shut out the threat of Messi, so much that the Argentine found himself on the halfway line a lot in order to see more of the ball.
|The Milan gaffer outfoxed Barcelona to a famous win
Barcelona fans may claim that it was a Chelsea-esque approach adopted by Milan, referring to the famous 'parking of the bus' tactic adopted by the reigning European champions in the second leg at the Camp Nou in April last year. But a closer glance will indicate that Milan had the better chances in the first half as the trio of Boateng, Pazzini and El-Shaarawy got behind the Barcelona defence on more than one occasion.
Contrary to what critics said before the game, Milan keeper Christian Abbiati was a spectator to proceedings unlike his counterpart Victor Valdes. Barcelona's coach Jordi Roura claimed that Milan had only two chances throughout the game. However the match stats totally disproves this claim as the Catalans managed only one shot on target when Andres Iniesta unleashed a fierce shot from the edge of the 18-yard area which did not work the goalkeeper.
|Total Shots
|On Target
|Off Target
What was another feature of this young Milan side was that during the game, the Italians harried the Barcelona players off the ball, something which is drilled into every La Masia inmate. El Shaarawy, Boateng and Pazzini hunted in packs and caused the likes of Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol to release the ball early and force mistakes.
Allegri could have sat back after Boateng had given Milan the lead in seemingly controversial circumstances. But he recognised the lack of pace in the centre of the Barca defence and chose to go for the kill by bringing on M'Baye Niang which meant that El Shaarawy would be playing the role of a 'False 9'.
The French youngster brought a different dimension to the game as he troubled the Barcelona defenders with his dribbling skills and pace. It was his trickery that allowed him to outwit Carles Puyol and set up El Shaarawy who in turn chipped it to the path of the advancing Muntari for Milan's second.
Mario Who? Pazzini gives a performance to remember
The buildup to the match centred around the fact that Mario Balotelli would not be able to play in this game, having being cup tied with Manchester City. The former City man was seen as someone who would have given Puyol and Pique a run for their money had he played. Giampaolo Pazzini has come in for a lot of stick from fans and critics alike ever since his move to Milan from city rivals Inter. The former Sampdoria man never really got into his groove at Diavolo and was seen as a liability in a Milan team that are in transition.
|'Il Pazzo' kept Puyol and Pique occupied
However his performance against Barcelona was something he would cherish for a long time. The forward was instrumental in keeping Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique occupied by holding up the ball and providing layoffs for Boateng and El Shaarawy to work on. He even managed to get a shot on target through his acrobatic effort in the second half.
Off the ball, Pazzini worked his socks off for the team cause as he was a constant thorn for the Barcelona centre-halves forcing them to be dispossessed. The former Inter man was hauled off for the quicker M'Baye Niang, but Pazzini, the fans and Allegri would know that it was a performance that merited a pat on the back.
Ambrosini, Zapata and Mexes got under Barcelona's skin
Massimo Ambrosini has always been someone who shuns the limelight. The 35-year old has been at Milan for almost 18 years during which he has seen his more illustrious teammates like Andrea Pirlo, Kaka and Gennaro Gattuso earn most of the plaudits. However the former Cesena man has been one of the key reasons why Milan were so defensively sound for a better part of the decade with his simple passing and tackling abilities. Ambrosini was yet again in the mix of things against Barcelona as his coach looked up to the veteran to keep a leash on the likes of Iniesta, Xavi and Fabregas.
|Ambrosini's hassled, tackled and bullied Barcelona
Five tackles, nine interceptions and two clearances were a sign of just how much he disturbed the usually seamless passing rhythym of the Catalans. If the ball did manage to bypass Ambrosini, it was dealt with by the Milan centre-half pairing of Mexes and Zapata. The Colombian, on loan from Villarreal, gave a imposing display, keeping Lionel Messi in check, and winning his aerial duels with ease. For a team that has kept only one clean sheet in their last five games, Zapata's performance would have surely give the Milan hierarchy incentive to sign the 26-year old permanently.
Mexes, like the others in his team, raised his game to the occasion, as the Frenchman blocked everything that Barcelona threw at him. His partnership with Zapata ensured that Lionel Messi had to withdraw as further as the halfway line to see the ball frequently.
Zapata could not have done anything about the handball
Milan's opener was shrouded in doubt. A free-kick outside the Barcelona penalty area was botched up by Montolivo and El Shaarawy. The loose ball was in Montolivo's sights as he unleashed a fierce drive aimed at Valdes. The shot took a deflection and cannoned into the hands of Milan centre-half Cristian Zapata after which the ball fell to Kevin-Prince Boateng who volleyed it into the net to give his side the lead.
|Zapata provided the 'assist' for Boateng's goal
Pique was booked for protesting at the Scottish referee regarding the nature of the goal. But a closer look at the replays will suggest that Zapata did not handle the ball deliberately as it may seem. Montolivo's shot, which was deflected, was heading towards the Colombian's face with pace. A player's first reaction when he sees the ball heading towards his face is to protect it, which is exactly what Zapata did. No doubt that Barcelona should have received a free-kick for the handball but the infringment was in no way deliberate.
A packed house at the San Siro, after ages
It is arguably one of the most iconic football arenas in the world. The passionate atmosphere inside the Giussepe Meazza is something that every player who has stepped onto the haloed turf will testify to. However this season the San Siro has seen empty seats on more than one occasion.
Milan's poor early season form coupled along with the fire sale of star names were seen as reasons for the sharp decline in ticket sales. However with the Diavolo's form improving and with the arrival of Mario Balotelli, fans had reason to be optimistic.
|Milan were cheered to victory by a full-strength San Siro
The game against Barcelona barely had any empty seats as the Milan faithful turned up in numbers to champion their team's cause to upset Barcelona. Curva Sud was in full force as the fans raised the decibel levels inside the stadium.
With its closed structure and immaculate seating arrangements, the fans had an unimpaired view of the proceedings as their team upset the odds to defeat Barcelona 2-0, something they imagined would never happen beyond their wildest dreams. The Meazza can now expect a similar showing of strength when they take on Inter in the Milan Derby over the weekend. Considering the wavery season that Milan have had, the fans deserve to bask in the glory of this emphatic victory in the Champions League.

NL Capsules
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Kelly and the St. Louis Cardinals averted a five-game sweep at Pittsburgh, ending a season-worst seven-game losing streak by routing the Pirates 13-0 Thursday night in a matchup between the NL's top two teams.
St. Louis began the series with a 2½-game lead in the NL Central but left with the Pirates ahead by 1½ games. The Cardinals avoided their first sweep in a set of at least five games since 1916, when the New York Giants took all six games.
Pittsburgh had won the previous four games at PNC Park by a combined score of 36-10.
Kelly (2-3) pitched six scoreless innings and had two hits. Tony Cruz added three hits, including a two-run double during an eight-run seventh inning.
Charlie Morton (3-3) gave up five runs and 10 hits in six innings. He is 2-8 in his career against St. Louis.
ATLANTA (AP) — Justin Upton drove in five runs with two homers, Julio Teheran matched his career high with 11 strikeouts, and Atlanta beat Colorado for its seventh straight win.
Jason Heyward added a two-run homer, and Chris Johnson had three hits as the Braves completed a four-game sweep of the Rockies. The Braves outscored the Rockies 31-5 in the last three games of the series.
Atlanta's 7-0 homestand also included three wins over St. Louis.
The NL East-leading Braves stretched their lead over Washington to 11½ games.
Teheran (8-5) struck out the side in the third and fifth innings. He lasted only five innings, allowing one run and five hits and two walks, in his third straight start of allowing no more than one run.
Colorado's Chad Bettis (0-1), called up from Double-A Tulsa for his major league debut, allowed five runs and six hits and five walks in five innings.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joaquin Arias and pinch-hitter Roger Kieschnick had RBI singles off Jonathan Papelbon in the top of the ninth inning, then Sergio Romo escaped a bases-loaded jam in the bottom half as San Francisco beat Philadelphia.
Matt Cain (7-6) gave up one run and six hits in eight innings. The struggling ace lowered his ERA to 4.57.
Cole Hamels allowed seven hits and struck out five in eight scoreless innings. He left with a 1-0 lead that he gave himself with an RBI single.
Then Papelbon (2-1) blew it — a familiar scene for the 2012 All-Star closer. He started the season 13 for 13 in save opportunities, but is 7 for 13 since. He heard loud boos throughout the inning and when he walked to the dugout.
The Phillies are 2-10 since the All-Star break and have dropped to 9½ games behind Cincinnati for the second wild-card spot in the NL.
MIAMI (AP) — Tom Koehler pitched six effective innings, and Miami stalled Matt Harvey once again, beating the New York Mets.
Logan Morrison's two-out single broke a scoreless tie in the sixth. Donovan Solano added a two-run single later in the inning.
Harvey (8-3) allowed three runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. The NL's All-Star starter struck out eight.
Harvey's three shortest outings this season have come at Marlins Park. The All-Star is 0-1 with a 3.52 ERA in four starts against the Marlins this season while going 8-2 with a 1.97 ERA against the rest of the majors.
The Marlins are the lowest-scoring team in the majors and have the worst record in the NL.
Koehler (3-6) gave up five hits, walked five and struck out five. A.J. Ramos pitched two innings, and Steve Cishek worked the ninth for his 23rd save in 25 chances.
It was the first time the Mets had been shut out since May 25 against Atlanta.
CHICAGO (AP) — Yasiel Puig hit a long home run and scored two runs to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Chicago Cubs.
Hanley Ramirez and Jerry Hairston each drove in two runs for the Dodgers, who got a win a night after having a four-game winning streak snapped. Los Angeles is 11-2 since the All-Star break.
Junior Lake and Anthony Rizzo each homered twice for the Cubs, who lost for the fourth time in five games. Chicago had only five hits.
Dodgers starter Ricky Nolasco (7-9) allowed three solo home runs and lasted just five innings, but earned the win. Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 15th save.
Cubs starter Chris Rusin (1-1) was sharp in the fourth and fifth innings, but appeared to get tired in the sixth. He was pulled after allowing a single and a walk to the first two batters.

CONned again: Raising NH health care pricesEDITORIAL
April 06. 2013 10:27PM
Back in 1979, when the belief that government could and should beneficially control the prices of goods and services was popular, New Hampshire passed a Certificate of Need (CON) law. It forbade hospitals and other health care providers from buying expensive new equipment, or offering certain new services, without prior state approval.
The law "promotes rational allocation of health care resources in the state," it stated. Rational allocation. By the state. Let that sink in.
The next year, Jimmy Carter was defeated in a landslide, and in the years that have followed the public and policymakers have learned a great deal about economics and price controls. Here is what some of the official U.S. government studies have found.
A 1988 Federal Trade Commission study "finds that hospital costs are not lower in states that subject a larger proportion of proposed hospital expenditures to CON review. The study thus finds no evidence that CON programs have led to the resource savings they were designed to promote but rather indicates that reliance on CON review may raise hospital costs."
In 2004, the FTC and the U.S. Department of Justice revisited the CON issue. "The Agencies believe that, on balance, CON programs are not successful in containing health care costs, and that they pose serious anti-competitive risks that usually outweigh their purported economic benefits," the report concluded. "Market incumbents can too easily use CON procedures to forestall competitors from entering an incumbent's market."
(The 2004 study and several others are summarized nicely in a report issued last year by the Josiah Bartlett Center.)
Educated by such research, New Hampshire legislators voted in the last session to repeal the state's CON law. Incredibly, the state House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to reinstate the law before the positive effects of its repeal could be felt.
Why would New Hampshire, having just abolished a law that restricts the supply and increases the cost of health care services, bring it back? There are only two possible reasons. One, large hospitals, which benefit from the higher prices and reduced competition CON laws generate, have pressured politicians to revive the law. Or two, politicians don't want to give up the power CON laws give the state.
The CON law revival was part of the House budget. The Senate should strike that part and make clear that it will not find its way into any committee of conference report.

WORCESTER � The Planning Board Wednesday night gave its stamp of approval to plans for a $10 million, 100-room Hampton Inn at Gateway Park.
The five-story hotel will be built at 65 Prescott St., adjacent to the Courtyard by Marriott at 72 Grove Street, north of Lincoln Square.
The parcel where the hotel will be built is where the Courtyard by Marriott is located.
Patricia Gates, a lawyer representing the hotel developer, said the property will be divided into two separate lots, with the new hotel having frontage on Prescott Street. The Courtyard by Marriott, meanwhile, has frontage on Grove Street.
The hotel developer is SXC Prescott Street LLC, a subsidiary of hotel developer XSS LLC, which has built and operates two hotels in the city � the Courtyard by Marriott on Grove Street and Residence Inn off Plantation Street.
XSS has built 28 hotels in New England and New York during the past 15 years.
Construction of a new hotel in the city is something city officials have been pushing hard for in recent years, especially after the closing of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in the Lincoln Square area.
While Worcester is the second largest city in New England, city officials have said it has an insufficient number of hotels rooms, making it difficult to attract regional and corporate conferences here.
Worcester has less than 1,000 hotel rooms while Providence has 3,000, even though it has a smaller population.
"The city was actually the one that approach my client about building a hotel here because the feeling is that Worcester needs more hotel space," Ms. Gates said.
She said the hotel plans, which have been more than 18 months in the making, have been reworked in such a way that the developer will not have to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals to seek any zoning relief.

Using Canada's Health System as Model Might Cut U.S. Costs: Study
By Steven Reinberg, HealthDay Reporter
U.S. News and World Report, Oct. 30, 2012
TUESDAY, Oct. 30 (HealthDay News) -- Since 1980, health care costs in the United States could have been about $2.15 trillion less if Canadian cost-saving measures had been used, according to a new study.
Over the same period, health care spending in the United States grew nearly three times faster than in Canada's Medicare program, even though Canadian law bans co-payments and deductibles, the City University of New York researchers noted.
"Canada's Medicare program has been much more successful in controlling costs than the U.S. Medicare program," said Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, a professor in CUNY's School of Public Health.
Many factors play into the difference, Woolhandler said.
"Canada's system is a real single-payer system -- our system is single-payer for only a portion of the population," she said.
This results in higher administrative costs in the United States compared to Canada, Woolhandler said. "In the U.S., administrative costs are about 31 percent of health care costs and it's about 16 percent in Canada," she said.
In addition, hospitals in Canada are paid less than in the United States. Also, the Canadian government negotiates drug prices to get the lowest cost, while the U.S. government is prohibited by law from negotiating drug costs for Medicare patients, Woolhandler said.
Medical malpractice costs also are lower in Canada, she noted.
Even though costs are lower in Canada, health outcomes are akin to the those for the United States, Woolhandler said.
"Canadians' life expectancy is longer than in the United States," she said. "Access to care is better in Canada."
In the United States, access to care is limited by costs, Woolhandler said. One criticism of the Canadian system is that people have to wait for care, but Woolhandler says those who have to wait are only a small minority of patients.
Woolhandler, who was a founder of Physicians for a National Health Program, is an advocate for a true single-payer system in the United States.
"The Unites States has serious problems with costs of health care generally and costs of Medicare specifically," she said. "We need to look at the cost-control methods used in Canada that have worked rather than unproven methods proposed by politicians that are unlikely to work."
The report was published in the Oct. 29 issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.
For the study, Woolhandler and Dr. David Himmelstein, also a professor in the CUNY School of Public Health, analyzed American and Canadian Medicare spending.
They found, after adjusting for inflation, U.S. Medicare spending rose almost 200 percent from 1980 to 2009; Canada's rose 73 percent.
Woolhandler noted that some politicians want to replace Medicare with a voucher system that seniors could use to buy health insurance. Others advocate incentives to limit care. Neither option is a proven way of cutting costs, Woolhandler said.
One critic says the analysis by Woolhandler and Himmelstein is "superficial" and doesn't take into account the differences between the United States and Canada.
"There are a hundred other reasons for the differences, which are difficult to disentangle about how we practice medicine in the U.S.," said Stuart Altman, a distinguished professor of national health policy at Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management, in Waltham, Mass.
The U.S. medical care system is more expensive to run, he said. For one thing, people in medicine in the United States make more money than in Canada, Altman said.
Altman said there is really no way to bring costs down in the United States.
"We are trying to do that," he said. "We are trying to rearrange the delivery system to be more efficient, but once we have climbed up that ladder and created this delivery system, it's very hard to climb back down."
"The only hope we have is to slow the rate of growth," Altman said. "There is no way, short of a catastrophe, to walk down that ladder and bring our health care system to look like Canada or anyone else."
"Health care in other countries is a social service," he said. "In the United States, it's big business."

LOS ANGELES — Alarmed by an increase in suicides on its rail tracks, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is making a rare appeal for the public's help.
Suicide by train is a touchy topic, with many transit agencies worried about copycats if they talk about it.
But on Monday, LA Metro began focusing on the issue, asking the public to extend help for people who might be contemplating killing themselves — before they make it onto the tracks.
Since the beginning of last year, seven people have thrown themselves in front of trains on the Blue Line, which traverses some of the county's poorest areas on its 22-mile route between downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach.
Before the recent increase, suicides had averaged one per year since the line opened in 1990, according to Metro spokesman Marc Littman.
"We've reached the point where we must appeal to and engage the public" Littman said.
The message included that the suicides have other victims — the drivers who, helplessly, cannot stop their trains on time.
Roman Alarcon was driving his normal Blue Line route when a man stepped onto the tracks between stations. The train was going about 25 mph when it hit him.
"It affected not only his family but others, like law enforcement who responded to the scene and myself. We have to live with this the rest of our lives," Alarcon said.
That was in 1994. It took Alarcon several months to begin to talk to co-workers about it. Once he became comfortable, he made a point of counseling other drivers who experienced what he did.
It's hard to judge whether the increase in suicides on this one route is more than an anomaly.
Nationally, suicides in which someone was hit by a subway or light rail train peaked when 74 people killed themselves in 2011, according to federal data. The total dipped back to a more typical 55 people in 2012. New York City subways stand out as the transit system with the most suicides, according to the data.
Metro already has taken steps to decrease suicides, including sending retired bus and train operators to Blue Line stations. Littman said these "safety ambassadors" have stopped three people from killing themselves since December.

By anecdotal accounts, more raccoons are making their home in Durango this year than last.
Patt Dorsey, the Durango-based area wildlife manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, wouldnt doubt it because the raccoon adapts easily to urban life.
But no one counts raccoons, Dorsey said.
Deborah Kendall, a zoology professor at Fort Lewis College, thinks there are more forced into the city by drought conditions. The same conditions that bring deer and bears to the city, she said.
Theyre going to go to water and food, Kendall said.
A perceived over-abundance of raccoons could simply be kits or cubs, as theyre called, leaving their mother and dispersing, part of normal raccoon migrations. Kendall and Dorsey said.
Males move away first, sometimes several together, to join other families, Kendall said. This is a way to avoid inbreeding.
Raccoons also could be looking for winter quarters, Dorsey said.
They may have spent the summer on a hillside behind your home, Dorsey said. But with winter here, they could be looking for a snug spot under your deck.
Evonne Tocco, an instructor of Nia (a combination of martial arts, dance and yoga), lost three laying hens to raccoons.
One a month for three months, said Tocco, who lives in the Crestview neighborhood. The first time I didnt have the coop door closed. The second time they tore the door off.
I love to have chickens, but I dont want to go through this again soon, Tocco said. Maybe in the spring.
Dorsey said the raccoon population may well have increased since she arrived nine years ago.
Theyre miniature black bears in the sense that they adapt to urban life, are comfortable in town and eat anything.
In fact, Dorsey said, there probably are more raccoons in Durango than in an area of equal size and terrain between, say, Hesperus and Mancos.
But a strong indicator of normal raccoon activity this year is the lack of distemper, Dorsey said.
When raccoon populations get extremely high there can be outbreaks of distemper, Dorsey said. Raccoons are social animals so theres a lot of contact.
So when their populations gets too high, distemper knocks it down, Dorsey said. Distemper kills them, but we havent noticed a lot of dead raccoons.
Distemper, which is highly contagious, is caused by a virus similar to the one that causes measles in people. Early symptoms secretion of mucous in eyes and nose lead to vomiting and pus blisters. Ultimately, the virus attacks brain cells, bringing seizures.
A concern is pet health, Dorsey said. People should make sure their dog or cat is vaccinated against distemper.
Pets can contract distemper by inhaling the viruses shed in raccoon secretions, Dorsey said.
Another worry is the parasitic raccoon roundworm that can cause serious or fatal diseases in pets and people.
Its illegal in Colorado to keep wildlife, including raccoons, as a pet, Dorsey said. Health problems are another good reason not to have a pet raccoon.
Because raccoons can find food and shelter in a couple of city blocks, Dorsey said, theyre not going to travel a lot. Theyre omnivores and can be comfortable in a chimney, a shed or under a porch, she said.

Low turnout for Windham meetingBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
February 11. 2013 10:44PM
WINDHAM - With just 40 or so citizens attending Windham's town deliberative session Monday night, the town's 20 proposed warrant articles were moved to the March ballot with little discussion.
The meeting, held in the Windham High School auditorium, had initially been scheduled for this past Saturday morning but was postponed due to the snowstorm.
Among the proposed warrant items is Article 2, which encompasses 18 zoning ordinance amendments proposed by the planning board.
Community development director Laura Scott said one of the most significant amendments being proposed involves the town's multi-family housing provisions. Scott said the goal is to make the town's language more consistent with the new state definition of multi-family housing, which now includes duplex dwellings.
Under the amended ordinance, duplexes, as well as apartment or condo buildings containing six or fewer units, would be permitted in the "Residence C" district. Right now that area is zoned for manufactured housing.
While the town currently permits boarding or rooming houses in the rural district, the amended ordinance would limit such dwellings to the neighborhood business district.
A $100,958 article for the ongoing restoration of the historic Searles Building fits in to the town's 10-year plan, Selectman Ross McLeod said. The item, which would be funded through money currently set aside for this purpose in a trust fund, would have no initial tax impact though McLeod said its possible there might be an impact in the future if funding runs out. In two separate articles, voters are asked to withdraw $20,000 from the previously established Searles special revenue fund for marketing- and maintenance-related costs and $12,064 from the same revenue fund to pay the principal and interest on an existing loan taken to fund previous renovations in 2003. Those articles would have zero tax impact.
All three items were moved to the March ballot without amendment.
A $202,867 article for the fire department to purchase new self-contained breathing apparatus gear also falls under the town's capital improvement plan. Fire Chief Tom McPherson said the gear is "essential for the safety of our firefighters."
McPherson said current FDA guidelines require the town to update its equipment, and the town is awaiting word on whether it's been awarded a federal grant for municipal fire equipment.
Voting on all articles will take place on Tuesday, March 12, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Windham High School.

We recently announced our 2013 Ask-A-Mom (and dads)—our resident parent experts who provide their tips and tricks for a great trip to the lodge. Over the coming weeks, we are going to introduce you to each of them and give you a look at why they love Great Wolf Lodge. Today, meet Dan Anderson for our Grand Mound lodge. Dan is a husband, father to a son, two Golden Retrievers and a bearded dragon named Spike.
My family enjoys having fun together, which is why we love Great Wolf Lodge—there is something for everyone and we can experience it all as a family.
My 4-year-old son, Matthew, loves playing in the water and has been taking swim classes at our local pool. Although he is not yet ready to conquer the big thrill rides, Great Wolf offers plenty of fun appropriate for his age. The indoor waterpark is perfect for him and the giant tipping bucket dumping on his head is always a highlight. Of course, it is more fun when mom and dad play along, which is why the design at Great Wolf is so great for our family.
My wife, Amy, is partial to the Starbucks in the lobby—we truly can't start our day without a good cup of coffee. Having our favorite coffee place in the lobby makes all the difference and makes you feel like home. While my wife and I have our coffee, Matthew always gets a cup of steamed milk which he also refers to as "coffee."
I am a bit of a technology geek, which is why I get a kick out of Great Wolf Lodge's innovative games like MagiQuest. It is neat how Great Wolf has used the technology to create a fun experience that can keep families entertained for days. I also like MagiQuest because it is something that my family can do together.
The overall value is a larger part of why my family loves Great Wolf Lodge. Family vacations are expensive and we try to make the most out of every trip. With a visit to Great Wolf, our admission costs are bundled into the price of the room. This is great for us because we don't have to worry about paying separate fees for admission to the park, like we have to do with trips to Disneyland.
The rooms at the hotel are wonderfully themed, especially the Wolf Den Suite, which is another reason why we enjoy visiting Great Wolf Lodge. My son loves having his own space to play and sleep in. My wife and I love that we're not all crammed into a small hotel room, and actually have space to spread out and enjoy being away from home.
The best part of Great Wolf is that it is nearby for a quick escape. Living in the Pacific Northwest can be tough when you go for several weeks without the sun. Having a warm, indoor waterpark within driving distance is a huge perk and makes those cold winter days more bearable.
My family loves having fun together and Great Wolf Lodge is one of our favorite places to visit. There is something for each of us, but the best part is that we can enjoy it all together.

The Easiest Raspberry Tarts You'll Ever Make
This recipe started out on a splattered, stained note card in my grandmother's kitchen, and it has made its way into a lovely cookbook that's very personal to me (more on that below). The filling could not be easier to make. You can use it several different ways, but I think these two-bite tartlets would be perfect for Mother's Day or a little girl's baby shower.
So, here's the story on the cookbook. It's called Island Graces, and it is the cookbook of All Saints Church in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. My sister edited the cookbook (and tested many, many of the recipes) and included a bunch of our family recipes. There are old ones, like this, from my grandmother, and new ones, like my brother-in-law's chicken marsala and a key lime pie ice cream from yours truly.
There are tons of southern and lowcountry recipes; it's very much a community cookbook full of classic, comforting food. If you'd like to buy one as a Mother's Day gift, they will gift wrap it for free. You just have to order by Monday, May 3rd, indicate that it's for Mother's Day, and write whatever note you'd like to include on the card in the "special instructions" box.
• Buy Island Graces, $24.95
• Get more information at the Island Graces Facebook Page.
And now for the pretty pink tarts...
Raspberry Tarts
makes 24 muffin-size tarts (with some leftover filling) or 2 full-size pies
2 refrigerated pie crusts (the kind that come rolled up in a box, not already pressed into a pan)
1 packet gelatin
3 small lemons, juiced (about 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
1 (10-ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed but not drained
fresh raspberries to garnish
*Note: What makes this recipe so easy is that you can whip up the filling in about three minutes and use it several different ways. Make individual tarts with refrigerated pie dough (using the instructions below), make dough from scratch, or make pies with store-bought, pre-baked crusts. The filling also makes a good trifle, by the way, layered with whipped cream.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Working with one pie crust at a time, unroll it, and use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut 12 circles. Take each circle of dough and roll it gently with a rolling pin until it's just a bit bigger and thinner, so that it will fill a muffin cup. When you press the dough into the muffin tin, the top of the dough should reach the top of the cup with rippled edges (see photo #3). Bake the tart shells for 10 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool.
In a large bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the lemon juice and stir. Whisk in the lemon zest and condensed milk. Add the raspberries and their juices. Stir well to combine. (You can use a hand-held mixer to make the filling extra smooth, if you'd like.) Fill the baked, cooled tart shells with a few spoonfuls of the raspberry mixture, or divide the filling between the two pie crusts. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm. Garnish with fresh raspberries or whipped cream.

It's important to take steps to ensure that if a pet happens to get loose, he or she can come home safely.
It's important to take steps to ensure that if a pet happens to get loose, he or she can come home safely.
More than 10 million pets are lost annually, according to the ASPCA. Most pet owners believe their cherished companions could never escape. This just isn't true. Fences can be broken, car accidents can occur, or fires or earthquakes can damage the structural integrity of your home. Even floods are possible in our area.
In the past two weeks, eight patients have been brought to our clinic that didn't have collars or microchips. We were only able to find the owners for some of them.
Don't let your pet become lost or re-homed. Have a visible collar with current contact information on every canine and feline. Microchip each pet, and update contact information when needed. This is critical for pets that won't keep a collar on. GPS systems are also available that can help you track your buddy if he escapes.
A microchip is a device the size of a grain of rice. It is placed between the shoulder blades of your dog or cat with a syringe similar to giving a vaccine. This technology is typically available for less than $50, and it can save the life of your cherished companion. A microchip is also required to license your dog or cat in the city of Stockton.
I recommend the Home Again microchip because this company offers many other helpful services for a small annual fee. The first year is free, included with the microchip purchase price. You can upload a picture of your buddy and print fliers if he is lost. They notify local shelters and other local groups when a pet is reported missing. There is a 24-hour poison control/pet emergency hotline. They offer travel assistance for found pets. If your pet has a different brand of microchip, you can still register with Home Again to receive these services.
For a GPS system, I recommend the Tagg Company. The Tagg tracker attaches to your dog's or cat's collar, and lets you see where he or she is at any time, as well as alerts you if he or she wanders off. It comes with a mobile application for your smart phone.
Protect the members of your family by identifying them. Microchip your pets to ensure them a long and healthy life.
Julie Damron is a veterinarian at Sierra Veterinary Clinic in Stockton. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ohio abduction case rekindles hope, pain for some NH familiesBy SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
May 12. 2013 2:42AM
The rescue in Cleveland last week of three young women who were kidnapped a decade ago has sparked hope - and heartache - for parents of missing children in New Hampshire.
After 8-year-old Tammy Belanger disappeared while walking to school in downtown Exeter on Nov. 13, 1984, searchers from dozens of communities looked for the dark-haired little girl with the sweet smile and lazy left eye. Over the years, tips led to renewed searches and a named suspect, but Tammy was never found.
Patricia A. Belanger is Tammy's mother. The news out of Cleveland last week was bittersweet, she said. "I'm glad that they were found. It's amazing."
Still, she said, "It's painful, for missing her."
And she said, "You wonder how many other children are out there that may be in the same predicament."
There's always hope
Belanger, who has two mother children and is a grandmother now, said the discovery in Cleveland raised hope in her heart.
"You always just wonder if she is still out there somewhere," she said.
Tammy Belanger is one of six children listed as "missing" by the New Hampshire State Police's cold case unit.
Sgt. Scott Gilbert, who runs that unit, said that list includes children younger than 17 who are "missing and presumed to have met with foul play."
Gilbert called the rescue of the three young women who had been imprisoned for as long as 10 years "almost unbelievable."
"It does remind you that there's always that possibility," he said.
But for the families of the missing, Gilbert said, the news could have good and bad effects.
"You know that they most likely met with foul play, but you don't even know that for sure. It's got to be awful," he said. "And then you see this, and does it give you renewed hope, or is it false hope?"
Also missing
Laureen Rahn is also on Gilbert's list of missing children.
She was 14 when she disappeared on April 27, 1980, from the Manchester apartment where she lived with her mother.
Her mother, Judith Swanson, now lives in Florida and could not be reached for this story. But Judith's sister, Diane Pineault, still lives in Manchester.
Pineault said news that the three young women were found alive in Cleveland was "a wonderful Mother's Day gift" for their families. "But what they went through is not so wonderful," she said. "It's sad."
She said her sister and the rest of the family have never given up on finding Laureen. "We've always hoped that someday she's just going to show up at our door and say, 'It's me.'
"They haven't shown us anything that proves different, so you can't give up hope," Pineault said. "That's what it comes down to."
Christmas tradition
Every Christmas, she still hangs up an angel ornament that Laureen made for her out of an egg carton, Pineault said. "It's very fragile, but it goes on my tree every year," she said. "We take very good care of it."
Pineault's own children are grown now and have children of their own. What happened to their cousin deeply affected them, she said.
"They're very careful of their children," she said. "It's something you can't let go of that easily. It's been a long time, but you can't help it."
The others on the cold case list of missing children are: Rachael Garden, 15, who disappeared in Newton in 1980; Shirley "Tippy" McBride, 15, missing from Concord since 1984; Bethany Sinclair, who was 15 when she and her mother, Tina Sinclair, disappeared in Chesterfield in 2001; and 3-year-old Patricia Ann Wood, who disappeared from Swanzey in 1976.
Sandra Matheson is director of the Attorney General's Office of Victim/Witness Assistance. She's been doing this work for 26 years and knows well the trauma families of murder victims go through.
"But at least if the case is solved . the family knows who did it, knows what happened to their loved one, has had the opportunity to bury their loved one and had some kind of funeral and way to say goodbye," she said. "But when you have a disappearance and a missing child and they're never found, families don't give up hope."
Reliving the nightmare
What happened in Cleveland not only rekindles that hope, but also may retraumatize these families, Matheson said. "It's right back to the raw pain and trauma that you felt when the child first went missing," she said.
"You just start picturing everything that could possibly happen to your child and it haunts you. And it haunts you forever."
Gilbert said he's amazed at the patience and understanding families show in the face of such horror and uncertainty. It pains him when he can't give them the answers they need.
"More than once, I've gotten a phone call reminding me, 'I'm getting to the end of my life and if there's one thing I could ask for, it's that you solve this case and give me some answers.'
"They're begging me: 'Can you get me an answer before I pass away?'"
The hardest part? "You can't do anything for them, and then they do pass away. And that's tough."
Still, Gilbert remains hopeful that such cases can be solved. "I have learned from doing these as long as I have that the answers that you need can come at any moment when the dynamics change. The things that kept it from being solved could change at any moment."
Couples divorce. Friends fight. Criminals repent.
And any of those circumstances could prompt someone to come forward with key facts, Gilbert said. "It doesn't have to answer all our questions; it could be just that one little piece that does steer us in the right direction."
Seeks help from public
Matheson pleaded for the public's help to solve these cases. "If anybody knows anything that could prevent these families from going through what they're going through, please come forward. Because you may be the difference in families getting the answers, and understanding what happened to their child."
One suspect was identified in the Tammy Belanger case: Victor Wonyetye Jr., on parole for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl, was working at an Exeter auto body shop when Tammy disappeared. He was also a suspect in the disappearance of a Florida girl six months before Tammy disappeared.
Wonyetye spent more than 18 years in a Florida prison on burglary charges after he was arrested there as a "peeping Tom." During his 1992 Florida trial, detectives testified that Wonyetye had told fellow inmates in New Hampshire that he had strangled the two girls.
Wonyetye was released on parole last year and died in December, according to the Florida Department of Corrections. He apparently left no confession.
Patricia Belanger said Exeter Police Chief Richard Kane called her a few months ago to tell her that Wonyetye was dead. "I'm glad he's gone," she said. "He won't be able to . take other children."
Asked whether she believes Wonyetye took her little girl, she said, "I just have to go on what the police have said. And they seem to think that he's the one that did do this."

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Two survivors of an Eastern Oregon tour bus crash that killed nine passengers allege in a lawsuit that the driver was tired, didn't heed warnings and was going too fast on a road with patches of snow and ice.
Attorney Charles Herrmann filed the suit against Mi Joo Tour & Travel late Sunday in Pierce County, Wash., on behalf of two South Korean exchange students who were among the 38 people injured in the Dec. 30 crash.
The complaint says the bus driver doubled as a tour guide and worked at least 90 hours without relief over the first eight days of the nine-day tour package, a violation of U.S. regulations that limit drivers to 70 hours in an eight-day span.
"I've got it from the witnesses, I've got it from the schedule and I've got it from the mileage," Herrmann said Monday. "Put it all together and it's quite clear."
The trip started in Vancouver, British Columbia, and went through Southern California, Las Vegas and Grand Canyon National Park before heading north to Boise, Idaho. On the ninth and final day of the tour, the bus departed a Boise hotel at 7:30 a.m. and traveled 203 miles in a little more than three hours before plunging through a guardrail and 200 feet down an embankment.
The Oregon State Police and National Transportation Safety Board have yet to say what caused the crash of Interstate 84 east of Pendleton. The crash happened during a cold, overcast morning on a flat and straight stretch of the highway, just before an infamous downgrade known as Cabbage Hill.
A truck had applied sand to the icy road a few hours before the crash and was behind the bus making another run when tragedy struck.
The posted speed limit is 65 mph for cars and 55 mph for trucks and buses. Police have not said how fast the bus was traveling or if driver fatigue was an issue.
Herrmann said the driver was going "just too fast for the ice and the snow and the fog," and not necessarily exceeding the speed limit. The lawsuit states that signs in eastern Oregon warned of dangerous conditions. But a state Department of Transportation spokesman said the last reader board the driver would have seen before the crash warned motorists to stay sober. There was a warning about icy conditions about a mile after the crash site, said the spokesman, Tom Strandberg.
An employee at the Vancouver-based travel company referred questions to an attorney who didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The driver, Haeng-Kyu Hwang of Vancouver, is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
Herrmann filed the suit on behalf of 16-year-old Jong-Hyun Chae and 15-year-old Seong-Jun An, foreign exchange students from South Korea who are studying in Tacoma, Wash. An fainted and Chae was knocked unconscious during the crash, according to the suit, and both were hospitalized for about eight hours.
The lawsuit does not request a specific dollar amount, and Herrmann said the extent of the injuries, including psychological, remains unknown.
Herrmann said he is attempting to represent additional crash victims, many of whom are Korean.

Facebook has announced the launch of Interest Lists, a new feature designed to help users curate the content of Pages and public figures in which they're interested. The service promises to deliver the top posts from each interest group (list) in the user's newsfeed.
Over the coming weeks, users will see "Add Interests" appear in the left-hand sidebar on their newsfeed. Users can also create lists from "Create List" in the "Interests" page.
In a blog post about the announcement, Facebook describes the new feature:
Interest lists can help you turn Facebook into your own personalized newspaper, with special sections—or feeds—for topics that matter to you. You can find traditional news sections like Business, Sports and Style or get much more personalized—like Tech News, NBA Players, and Art Critics.
Interests feature public figures and Pages related to a particular topic, and are put together by people like you. The top stories from each interest appear in your news feed so you can scan interesting headlines or click through to read more posts.
Interest Lists are, of course, similar in concept to Google+ Circles, though they are limited to curating content from public figures and Pages. The emphasis from Facebook is definitely on building B2C relationships with this launch, rather than personal ones.
Facebook's lists might also be compared to paper.li, more popular over on Twitter, though Facebook's rendition incorporates the content into your newsfeed. It's the next step in Facebook's attempt to increase their already staggering $3.1 billion annual advertising revenue by putting brands front and center in the lives of users.
If Interest Lists have not been rolled out to you yet, clicking on a list link will simply direct you to your newsfeed. Similarly, it seems you can't see which lists people are following until the feature is available to you. Once you're able to view Interest Lists, you can see which lists people you have friended or subscribed to follow in the same area as their Subscriptions.

Light Talk
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Misc. Tech,
Now this is great. Instead of playing with light sabers, talk with light sticks. This little device scans your highly creative and artistic doodles and displays them in the air for your friends (or anyone around) to see and enjoy. Simply doodle, scan, shake and share. Repeat the steps as needed. Would be pretty sweet to do at a sporting event to talk some smack to the opposing team, however, I'm not sure if they'll be able to read it from large distances. At $39.99, I'll let someone else try it out and report back to see how well that works.

Fall Welcome Address 2008
President Jon Whitmore
Thursday, August 21, 2008
Noon - 1 pm
Watch the 2008 Fall Welcome Address with RealPlayer.
San José State University is a dynamic, diverse and forward-looking university. I applaud you for where you have come and, more importantly, for where you want to go. Jennifer and I were drawn here by the wonderful, dedicated people we met all across this campus during the interview process.
I have always believed that the only competitive advantage any university has is the quality, dedication and drive of its people -- its faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community and corporate supporters. This cohort of committed people, striving for excellence, should be our guiding theme over the next several years. I'm delivering this message this afternoon because that is what I heard you say during the interview process and during my first 21 days at San José State.
We all must take pride in the excellence that already pervades San José State. We must promote these pinnacles of excellence. And, we must strive, every day, to build greater excellence throughout the university. If we do that together, what a bright future we all have!
Now let me step back and answer, briefly, a question that's buzzing around campus. What's this Whitmore like? What's his background? First, I'm nothing without my life partner Jennifer. Please stand up.
We work side by side. A major role of the presidency is making friends, inside and outside the university, and Jennifer's really good at that. I know she's looking forward to meeting all of you. Our immediate family includes two children attending the University of Iowa, where they grew up when I served as provost there. So we bring the perspective of being parents of current college students to our work.
Also by way of introduction, I've been told you might like to know a bit about me, where I started out and a few things that shaped my early thinking. So let me ask how many of you have ever visited North Dakota?
Well, I was born in Seattle. But I grew up in Stanley, North Dakota, a small town of about a thousand people. My family operated the movie theatre in town and my brother and I saw lots of movies in the late 1940s through the mid-1950s, as you can imagine -- most of them made in California, by the way. In North Dakota, there was no TV back then. Anyway, I've wondered if all those black-and-white movies might have been an early influence toward my decision to major in theatre in college. It was tough country around Stanley. The weather could be 30 degrees below zero. The town was surrounded by farms and cattle ranches. The land was rocky, the wind fierce, but the sky was vast and blue.
Growing up there, we learned the mid-western farm work ethic, and the understanding that, in remote, harsh country like that, people have to work together -- pitch in to help each other out. I have held that belief my entire life.
When TV did come to North Dakota in the mid-1950s, my father sold the moviehouse and we moved back to Washington. That's how I ended up attending Washington State University. I was a first-generation college graduate, like many of our students here. My parents' support, and the fact that tuition was then $300 were what made college possible for me. Without affordable public higher education I would not be standing before you today. Public universities, like San José State, continue to serve that noble mission. Your hard work and dedication makes people's dreams for a better future come true. That's probably more than enough history, so let's fast-forward to the present.
Jennifer and I are both very happy to be part of the San José State family. We're delighted to be in this urban setting in Silicon Valley, in a growing state, on the Pacific Rim. What a fabulous location for a university! San José State itself impressed me, with its heritage, its diversity, and its national reputation for high quality bachelor's and master's programs. Collectively, you have made remarkable progress in the past few years, positioning the university to rise to a new level of statewide and national recognition.
My conversations with President Don Kassing left no doubt about how proud he was of all the progress that has been made. I salute President Kassing and his leadership team and all of you for your accomplishments. I'd like to take a moment now to introduce the president's senior colleagues:
- Carmen Sigler, provost and VP for Academic Affairs
- Tom Bowen, Intercollegiate Athletics director
- Zaynna Fakhreddine, president's aide
- Rona Halualani, assistant to the president, director of Institutional Planning and Inclusive Excellence
- Rose Lee, VP for Administration and Finance
- Fred Najjar, VP for University Advancement
- Veril Phillips, VP for Student Affairs
- Gerry Selter, executive assistant
Thank you all. Or should I say, coming from Texas, "Y'all."
I've also learned that people beyond the campus are saying good things about San José State. I read the public opinion surveys showing that the university has strengthened its name recognition and reputation, with a favorable opinion of SJSU rising four percentage points in a single year, from 71% in 2006 to 75% in 2007. The survey also revealed that people now list San José State third among top universities in the region, up from fourth the previous year. So -- given all these positive factors, I'm glad the chancellor and search committee agreed to give me this opportunity.
The CSU system is a powerful force in California. Chancellor Reed and our dedicated trustees have developed a dynamic strategic plan for the future based on what the people of California will need from the CSU in the next decade. San José State University must be a leader in this important work.
Let me state this clearly, San José State University is central to the economic health of San José, Silicon Valley, and California, and it must have a positive effect on the quality of life of all its citizens.
Here and now, my first job is to get to know you and the university. I've started what I'm calling my 100-day deep-learning period. Of course this period will include many meetings. But I'm also interested in getting a first-hand look at the operations of this campus. I've decided to work shoulder-to-shoulder for an hour with different staff in various departments and around campus, to experience first-hand how this university functions, and to absorb the collective wisdom I know I'll find there.
I'm thinking of this as a "Day in the Life of SJSU," and I'll tell you about my experiences in a presidential blog that you can link to from our home page or the president's page. The blog will run Monday through Thursday from now to Homecoming. It will also allow me to give you brief updates on events I attend and people I talk with. You may occasionally see entries from Jennifer. So do check out the blog when you get back to the office. Your feedback may become a blog entry as well.
One of my quests during this time is to discover how San José State is unique and different from other universities in California and in the nation. We need to build on those things that make us special. I ask all of you who would like to advise me on the uniqueness of San José State to check the home page or visit my Web page. You'll also be receiving an e-mail invitation to participate in a brief survey that Rona has put together. It's an opportunity for you to tell me what you think is important for San José State's future, and I'm very eager to hear your thoughts on that topic.
To further boost my learning curve, I'm eager to meet as many of you in person as possible. Last week, I attended a student government retreat and met some of our remarkable students. I'm meeting with each dean individually. I've visited with the mayor of San José, the editorial board of the Mercury News, and I've even met our dynamic governor. My schedule also includes meeting with alumni and community members who are key to the university's progress, working with the Academic Senate, and of course I will be rooting for the Spartans at our home opener against UC Davis on Aug. 30.
Tom, we're looking forward to a great season for our Spartan teams!
My philosophy is to put people first. You can expect me to support hiring and retaining the best people and to uphold San José State's strong commitment to diversity. I also strongly believe in offering opportunities for faculty and staff development, personal learning and advancement. As I stated earlier, it is the talent and drive of a university's people that make the university. So the care and tending of people -- all of you -- will be a priority as we move forward.
I'd also like to tell you briefly about four areas of interest I would like to learn more about:
1. A very exciting area of development I see for San José State -- an area to which I'd like to add my influence as your president -- is to deepen our engagement with Silicon Valley and the city of San José as both learning and research environments. San José State is blessed to be in a great location, and I believe there are many more positive connections we can make as an anchor institution in this vibrant region. We should be making the very best use of Silicon Valley as a classroom, a lab, and a place where our students can gain experience in research, and social and civic engagement. You have many connections now, I know, but I see this as an area we can expand with very profitable results.
2. I was also delighted to learn of the city of San José's "Green Vision," with its ambitious goals for environmental protection and economic development. Here at San José State, we can boost that initiative by advancing the eco-friendliness and sustainability of the campus in all dimensions. We can look at curriculum development for core student learning, as well as expanding research and service learning. We can be a premiere school for combining high tech, biotech, info tech and environmental education. Campus-wide, we can conserve energy and develop a "lighter" carbon footprint. The city's goal is to become the world center for clean tech innovation. We are uniquely situated to be a partner and be a university leader in achieving that goal, while reaping benefits for our faculty and students, as well as our physical campus.
3. I know you have been working from a strategic plan to take us to Vision 2010. I understand that there will be a concentrated focus this year on three strategic objectives:
- Improving retention-graduation rates,
- looking at the faculty teaching load,
- and working to internationalize the university.
All of these are important and I look forward to hearing more from you about all three.
That first objective -- improving the retention and graduation rates of our undergraduate students -- is one that resonates strongly with me. First, because it is doing right by our students to help more of them graduate, and in a timely way. Second, it is central to our mission of service and thus quite appropriately part of our strategic planning. Third, improving graduation and retention rates reflects good stewardship of our state and private funding. And fourth, graduating a higher percentage of our students is critical to the economic success of our region and state. I understand that there is now an important fusion of interest and resources needed to significantly improve our retention and graduation rates. I will be eager to hear your thinking on this topic and hope to add to the dialogue based on my experiences at other universities.
4. When I arrived on campus early this month, one of the first things waiting for me was a comprehensive report commissioned by Vice President Rose Lee on the state of information technology at San José State. I strongly believe, along with 80 percent of you who were surveyed, that information technology should be a key defining attribute of SJSU. The report analyzes the challenges and obstacles this campus continues to face in fully realizing that vision, and provides an outline for strategic planning. I consider information technology critical to our mission, and its importance will only increase moving forward. So know that I will be giving close attention to this area. When we say that we are powering Silicon Valley, I want it to ring true for every understanding of that phrase.
As we begin this semester, I thought you might want to have brief updates on three major topics: our enrollments; our Inclusive Excellence/Diversity planning; and the status of the budget.
San José State is entering a new era with respect to enrollment. Vice President Veril Phillips tells me that historically, we kept the admission doors open very late to ensure that the university met or exceeded our budgeted targets. That is no longer the case. Today, the progression from application to admission to enrollment by record numbers of students, earlier than ever, provides evidence that students are making San José State their university of choice. In particular, we have a record number of first-time freshmen -- about 3,800 of them -- enrolled this semester, in spite of the earliest deadline that we have ever imposed for applications. This is exciting and a great position for us to be in over the long term. But rapid growth is not without its temporary pain. The provost, deans, department chairs and many others have worked throughout the summer to make preparations for this bumper crop of students.
Thanks to all of you for your tremendous efforts in this regard.
For next spring and fall and beyond, we've already notified our feeder high schools and colleges about our undergraduate application deadlines -- August 31 for spring and November 30 for next fall. When you talk with prospective students and families, please keep these very early deadlines in mind.
Diversity/Inclusive Excellence
San José State's diversity continues to be one of its distinctions. In the 2008 survey in U.S. News & World Report, our diversity profile is third highest in the CSU, and we are the fifth most diverse campus in California. An inclusive excellence and diversity initiative is being undertaken to ensure the success of each student that attends San José State. This Master Plan is a first among California universities. This fall, a 38-member team, led by Rona, will design action plans and strategies to implement diversity programs and enhance efforts across the university.
What about the non-existent budget? As you know, we are still watching and waiting for what will happen with the California state budget. When it comes to state funding, I want you to know that I will be this university's No.1 budget advocate. I have worked with four different state legislatures, most recently in Texas, and I'll advocate strongly for higher education in California, within the CSU system, and most particularly, for San José State. You can count on me for that.
Today's reality is that public universities must be more entrepreneurial. I am impressed with the university's recent success in private fundraising. I know our vice president for advancement Fred Najjar has led us to record-breaking fundraising. Last year we lead the CSU system in giving, and we totaled $100 million for San José State in the last three years. He and his team are well along in preparing for a comprehensive campaign. Friend-raising and fund-raising will be an important priority for Jennifer and me.
This private support is especially important for San José State, if we are to move ahead despite the uncertainties of state funding. The great news is that our university has many loyal alumni and they are stepping up. Our donors are helping us move toward excellence.
So, let me summarize here: I am in a learning/listening mode. I will be pleased to hear from you. Let me know if you share my enthusiasm for strengthening our city and Silicon Valley contacts, emphasizing sustainability, getting more of our students graduated, and advancing information technology. Count on me to put people first and take a leading role in bringing financial resources to this university.
Consider all this a preliminary assessment. Priorities may change as I learn more from all of you.
Now some of you, especially a few there in the back rows, still may be asking yourself: But what's this guy really like to work with? What's a theatre guy doing leading a major university?
My response is that leading a university is like directing a play. The director must have a vision of what the play could be like. He then needs to "people" the production with experts in sound, sets, costumes, lighting, and of course, cast a talent-laden group of actors.
A good director draws all of these people together, gets them to share a vision of
what is possible, motivates each participant to use his or her talents to the fullest,
and lets them be creative.
The director's ongoing role is getting the right people in the right places and steering things in the right direction. I suppose you could even say that running a university is like producing and directing a grand opera -- with a full orchestra, with dramatic exits and entrances, occasionally a parade of elephants, and of course a bevy of talented divas. Before we leave the theatre imagery, I'll just add that I think we have all the components at San José State for an award-winning and very long-running and highly creative production.
Let me close by sharing a quote from poet, playwright, and politician, Vaclav Havel, the first president of the Czech Republic, a man who knew something about the dynamics of change. A theme that appears in his writings is this:
He said, "We cannot have community without generosity of spirit."
"We cannot have community without generosity of spirit."
What we do this semester and in the coming years at San José State -- our success in transforming the lives of our students -- will depend on our ability to function as a strong and thriving community. The strength of our community depends on each of us stepping forward to do our part, while recognizing, understanding and respecting the contributions of others.
We are all needed.
You have shown exceptional solidarity in the past few years.
Let's strengthen and build on our community, with a generosity of spirit, as we move forward. Together I'm confident we'll achieve great things for San José State!

I think you treat nursing slowdowns and nursing strikes the same way: you continue to offer, patiently, calmly, consistently- and you do your darndest not to feel hurt when your child turns you down. Believe me, I understand that the last part is tough!!! So many moms just feel utterly rejected and dejected when their baby expresses no interest, or even resistance, to nursing.
Why your baby would slow down... It's really hard to say. Some kids slow down or strike when sick or teething- in fact, if you haven't had her in to the doc, and had someone look in her ears, now is a good time to do so. Some kids just lose interest in nursing long before the average baby. And some kids go on strikes because of adverse events- for example, a friend of mine screamed when her baby bit her while nursing, and the baby went on a strike and never went back to the breast. Totally not my friend's fault, of course, because who wouldn't scream at an unexpected chomp in such a sensitive place!
I wish the were some sort of guidance we could offer in terms of how often it makes sense to offer, how much you need to pump in order to maintain supply... But these are such individual questions that I think all we can give you is rough suggestions. Offer before meals, offer after meals, offer in the tub, offer when she's relaxed and sleepy, offer when she's sad... You never know what moment is going to strike that's going to remind her that nursing is good for food and comfort. When it comes to pumping, I think that you want to maintain supply, but how many times you need to pump in order to do that is very individual. I personally would aim to pump at the 3-4 hour mark, if baby hasn't nursed. But maybe that's not the right strategy for you, since your baby prefers a fuller breast, and of you pumped right before she nursed you'd be pretty drained. So how about pumping right after she nurses, and maybe again at the 1-2 hour mark?
If your LO starts nursing again, then yes, your supply will rebound. That's ability is what has kept the human species going! If milk supply were easy to lose, I doubt we'd have made it out of the Pleistocene.

The Arma Christi in Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture
This book explores the multiple resonances and representations of the arma Christi, the "instruments of the Passion," in medieval and early modern culture. From the weapons used to torment and sacrifice the body of Christ sprang a reliquary tradition that produced active and contemplative devotional practices, complex literary narratives, intense lyric poems, striking visual images, and innovative architecture. The verbal and visual representations that accrued from these holiest of relics, and the practices they in turn inspired, are relevant to a wide variety of critical fields and theoretical approaches. This collection capitalizes on recent work on these most central of medieval "objects," and produces, through its interdisciplinary and intergenerational scholarly collaboration, a fresh view of the multiple intersections of the spiritual and the material in the Middle Ages. It also includes a new edition of the English arma Christi poem known as "O Vernicle" from previously unpublished manuscripts.

August 17, 1918 - February 25, 2013
New Paltz, NY
There are so many words that could describe my mother, wonderful words that paint a picture of a truly special person. I will try to choose a few. Little Cissy Coleman, born Pearl Cecile Kaplan in 1918, was decent, caring, empathetic, insightful, exceptionally bright, always willing to try to understand others' points of view. She was much like my wonderful father, Ernest Coleman, whom she married and loved for almost 50 years until his untimely death in 1993. As parents they were unconditionally loving and accepting and I am overwhelmed with gratitude.
Cissy Coleman had a dry, wry sense of humor. Even as she marked her 94h birthday and told every one that she was "way past my expiration date", she was able to have moments of joy and give kindness to others. She didn't want to witness her own slow decline. She lived independently until she was 93, and her home was filled with books and the artwork that was a reflection of her creative, lovely soul. Her last nine months were spent at Woodland Pond, skilled nursing, where she was treated with love and kindness by the excellent staff and where she was visited daily by adoring family. She was given a good quality of life up until her last few weeks when she was kept comfortable, pain-free, and safe.
Besides friends, she will be missed every remaining day of our lives by Ginny Coleman, her daughter who is now writing this; her granddaughter, Tecia Mondello who was close to her from the moment she was born, Tecia's loving husband, Robert, and their daughter, Megan Mondello; Cissy's great-granddaughter, who was the greatest joy of her life. She had become close and important to Charlie Rovner, relatively new to our family, who visited often with her and made sure she got to experience being high over the sparkling river with fresh air caressing her face as she traveled the full length of the amazing Walkway Over The Hudson, albeit by wheelchair, a true thrill for her. She is also survived by her son, Bill Coleman who lives in Nevada and did not get to see her as often as he would have wished but spoke with her almost daily by phone; and by her two nephews, Danny and Richard Green and their wives, sons of her sister, Ethel whom she loved dearly, who was her best friend, and who also died years too soon.
For most of her life, my mother had a real Jewish identity but was devoutly agnostic. But in the past few years, since the very premature and unexpected death of her beloved son-in-law, my adored husband, Steven Levinsky, we have all had experiences that have stretched our beliefs. We all love the thought of her still here somehow, up there or out there, keeping a loving eye on us and this crazy world. We all say that she lives on in our hearts and we will feel her presence every day we live and breathe.
And I say - Good night, my sweet Mommy. May peace be with you always.
Arrangements are under the Michael Torsone Memorial Funeral Home, Inc., 38 Main Street, Highland, NY 12528. For online condolences, please visit our web site at www.torsonememorial.com
