Through her digital art and longboards, she represent subjects that are important to her — the public perception of female strength, individuality, sustainability, product quality, and the functional and accessible application of art. Through her residency year, Chelsea be sharing the different stages of her work flow and creative process from digital graphics and illustration into the production of wood decks.
Rosa Kammermeier
Rosa Kammermeier is a graphic designer and lettering artist from Munich, Germany. Her project for the residency is the Walk of Happiness, in which she'll be lettering messages of positivity on retail windows to create a city treasure hunt. Her messages will be linked and made accessible on a city map and on a website. Rosa hopes to capture the attention of people in their daily, consumer-oriented lives and make them stop, smile and think while discovering new aspects and areas of their city. She wants to challenge herself to improve her own skills while thinking and driving impact on a bigger scale.
Aundre Larrow
Brooklyn, New York-based photographer, Aundre Larrow will spend his residency working on a series of projects that explore the diverse range of people across the United States and their daily lives, challenges and perspectives. His main project, Echo Chamber, is a snapshot of America through the eyes of its residents, and his challenge will be to learn how to create impactful visual imagery to fully tell the story of the people and places he visits. Aundre will be capturing photographs, making video content for the first time, and sharing his process as he learns how to work in this new medium. His goal for the Residency is to make longer-form storytelling about unheard and less represented voices his primary work.
Natalie Lew
An interaction designer and recent graduate, Natalie Lew of Seattle is passionate about the intersections of design and philosophy. Her interdisciplinary background in design inspires her residency project, in which she'll create a toolkit of resources to make user experience design more accessible and available to the creative community. She plans to start a design studio in the future, so she'll challenge herself to learn more about working in individual and group settings while constantly receiving and improving based on feedback.

TAUNTON — During the past three years, the average property tax bill for a single-family home in Taunton increased by more than 20 percent, making the city one of eight communities in the state that had the biggest average tax bill increases for single-family homes during that span, according to a recent analysis released by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.
At the same time, Taunton now ranks at 250 in terms of the cost of the average single-family home tax bill out of 327 communities included in the analysis, in order of most expensive to least expensive, the DOR analysis states. Taunton's average tax bill for a single-family property is $3,327, according to the DOR data, which falls about 34 percent below the statewide average single-family property tax bill at $5,044.
But during fiscal 2011, Taunton was ranked at 295 in the high-low ranking of average single-family home tax bills in Massachusetts, DOR analysis said. At that point, the average single-family property tax bill was $2,765, the DOR said.
From fiscal 2011 to 2014, the city's residential tax rate has increased from $11.71 to $14.61, for every $1,000 of assessed value. The average assessed value for a single-family home in Taunton was $236,133 in fiscal 2011, and that average assessed value for a single-family home in the city dropped to $227,706 in fiscal 2014, the DOR data said.
Taunton homeowner Celina Dias Pendexter said that she has felt city's increase in single-family home tax bills in her pocket. In 2011, her Homestead Crossing house was valued at $419,100, according to city data. This fiscal year, it was assessed by the city at $403,700, meaning that her property tax bill jumped 17 percent from $4,907 in fiscal 2011 to $5,898 this year.
"I almost had a heart attack when I got my last tax bill," she said.
Dias Pendexter said that because of these increases in her tax bill, she is considering relocating — but she and her husband want to stay in the city as their son goes through high school here.
"The way taxes are going, we are not going to be able to afford to stay living in Taunton," she said. "It's ridiculous."
The downward trend of property assessments has affected every community in the state, according to the recent DOR analysis. Taunton's single-family home property values have gone down 3.57 percent between fiscal 2011 and 2014, putting the community in the middle of the pack (149 of the 327 communities in the analysis), in terms of biggest decreases of assessments to lowest decreases of assessments.
Bob Lincoln, who owns a home on Bluejay Lane in East Taunton, said that he understands that the tax increases can be difficult for many in the city.
"Taunton is much lower than most of the state," Lincoln said. "On one hand, we get what we pay for. We complain about the lack of city services and things getting fixed, but also are paying less than most cities. On the other hand, some of the increases are a real hardship for most people."
Lincoln also made the suggestion that the city could post its spending for each month, broken down by department, on its website to provide more transparency about how the taxes are used.
The tax rate is set by the Taunton City Council based on factors such as those assessments, with the rate changing on a yearly basis to meet the city's budget needs. Single-family tax bills are just one part of property taxes, which also includes taxes on commercial properties (now at a rate of $31.19).
A financial management review conducted by the DOR last September stated that taxes on all kinds of residential properties comprise 61.44 percent of Taunton's total property taxes.
Last year, when the city's total budget was $188 million, roughly 41 percent (or $77.08 million) of budget revenue came from the tax levy, which the amount of property taxes the city receives, 31 percent came from state aid, 21 came from local receipts, and 6 percent came from other funds, according to the DOR review. This year, the tax levy is $80,717,625, said the Taunton Assessor's Department.
Taunton has consistently reached the state imposed tax levy limit increase of 2.5 percent in recent years, while it also passed a debt exclusion to fund a $112 million high school renovation project, which was completed in 2011.
The DOR financial management review, based on averages from the past three years, said that Taunton spends about 43 percent of its annual budget on educational costs; while around 25 percent is spent on fixed costs (such as health insurance, retirement, and other employee benefits); and 14 percent is spent on public safety. The remaining expenditures, on average during those years, went towards debt service (5 percent), public works (5 percent), general government (4 percent), human services (1 percent), culture and recreation (1 percent), and other costs (less than 1 percent).

WASHINGTON, April 26 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama said Friday he isn't ready to accept accusations the Assad regime used chemical weapons in its fight against rebels in Syria.
During a press availability before a meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah at the White House, Obama said he has yet to see "confirmation and strong evidence" chemical weapons have been used.
"What we have right now is an intelligence assessment," Obama said, adding the United States is working with allies "to obtain more direct evidence."
"In the meantime, I've been very clear publicly, but also privately, that for the Syrian government to utilize chemical weapons on its people crosses a line that will change my calculus of how the United States approaches these issues," Obama said.
The White House said in a letter to congressional leaders this week the nation's intelligence agencies assessed "with varying degrees of confidence" the Assad regime used the chemical agent sarin on a small scale.
The letter was sent in a response to a letter from U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich.
McCain said Washington should set up a Syria no-fly zone as a result of the assessment.
"The president of the United States said that if [Syrian President Bashar Assad] used chemical weapons, it would be a game changer -- that it would cross a 'red line' -- and it's pretty obvious that red line has been crossed," McCain was quoted by The Wall Street Journal as saying.
"Now I hope the administration will consider what we have been recommending now for over two years of this bloodletting and massacre, and that is to provide a safe area for opposition to operate, to establish a no-fly zone and provide weapons to the people in the resistance who we trust," McCain said.
The senators had asked the White House whether Assad or his supporters had used chemical weapons during the 2-year-old war, as Israel claims.
The White House said it had strong indications chemical weapons were used.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told senators there may have been two instances of chemical weapons use by the regime.
"Given the stakes involved, and what we have learned from our own recent experience, intelligence assessments alone are not sufficient," said the White House letter, signed by Legislative Director Miguel Rodriguez.
The "recent experience" was an allusion to faulty intelligence in Iraq that led to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights said it documented 199 deaths due to violence in Syria Friday, including 13 children, 15 women, seven victims tortured to death and 34 armed rebels killed.
The organization said 18 people were killed in and around Damascus, 18 in Hasaka, 18 in Homs, 17 in Idlib, 13 in Aleppo, 12 in Daraa and 10 each in Hama and Dier Alzoor.

Plant Engineering Workforce Development Study: Lack of skilled workers leading to unfilled jobs
Finding qualified workers to fill needed manufacturing jobs has continued to remain a problem for companies and it is limiting their ability to expand operations.
Manufacturing has a skills gap; that much is understood by industry professionals. As the recently completed Workforce Development Study of the issue by Plant Engineering reveals, identifying the solution to this issue remains elusive.
Plant Engineering surveyed its readers in July 2013 on the prevailing attitudes about hiring and training in manufacturing. The fundamental problem remains acute, as 59% of plant managers reported a skilled workforce shortage in their plant. In addition, 22% of the plants said more than 10% of jobs are unfilled for this reason.
It's a lack of skills, not a lack of workers that is impacting this issue more acutely; 78% of manufacturers reported a lack of skills as the biggest challenge they currently face in filling their skills gap; only 33% blame a lack of applicants.
Perhaps more important, one-third of respondents said the worker shortage is keeping them from expanding their operations.
Too many plant managers feel they are on their own in trying to solve this problem. While 43% feel they can get help from the high schools and community colleges, approximately one-third feel they'll have to solve the problem themselves because they won't get adequate help from regional or local agencies.
In response, manufacturers are using a wide range of new recruitment tools and channels:
- 63% of manufacturers are recruiting online
- 54% reach out to community colleges
- 22% reach out to high schools
- 21% reach out to veterans.
While manufacturers are active in their communities, that activity hasn't extended to vocational education; just 24% said they are involved in such programs locally, yet 55% are members of their local Chamber of Commerce, and 42% sponsor youth sports teams.
That local involvement may explain one of the largest gaps in this survey. While 57% don't feel manufacturing is seen as a positive career choice in the U.S. as a whole, 85% believe their plant is seen in a positive light in their own community.
Respondents had a wide variety of views on how to improve that perception, which most believe is the key to getting more attention on skilled jobs in manufacturing. Among the comments:
- "It's not seen as glamorous or desirable. The pay and stability would indicate that it is, but the public relations needs to catch up to the reality."
- "Strengthen connection between manufacturing and actual wealth creation instead of just moving wealth around as in other disciplines (law, government, etc). Stop worrying so much about how we compare to doctors, lawyers, etc., in the public eye. Those who work in manufacturing know they are contributing to wealth creation."
- "As we deal with the new work force there is a gap from both sides. The young work force is taught that they will change jobs 7 to 10 times in their career. Companies tend to reinforce this by not addressing the needs of the current generation."
- "Convincing young people that manufacturing offers a rewarding career if you like long hours, physical activity, multiple demands, and teamwork when none of these are typically seen as very 'glamorous.'"
- "Educate the masses on what the manufactured goods and services do to keep the economy going."
- "Expand apprenticeship programs and communicate to K-8, junior high schools and high schools opportunities in manufacturing. This must be done by the school systems. Company and union leadership should also promote manufacturing opportunities within their region."
- "I don't think many understand the amount of technical skills required in manufacturing or the pay level."

Annual Salary Survey
After two years of economic concerns, manufacturing leaders once again have homed in on the single biggest issue facing their operations:
It's the workers—or more specifically, the lack of workers.
The 2017 Plant Engineering Salary Survey looks at not just what plant managers make, but what they think. As they look across their plants today, plant managers say they don't have the operational depth to take on the new technologies and new challenges of global manufacturing.

Greg Panza leaves MWCDC
March 6, 2012
Greg Panza, program manager for Business Development and Mainstreets for The Mount Washington Community Development Corporation (MWCDC) has left the organization after seven years of service.
Mr. Panza was instrumental in implementing the Mainstreet Program, attracting new businesses and providing technical assistance to existing businesses and entrepreneurs in the Mount Washington community.
A Mount Washington resident, he was responsible for attracting 15 new businesses to the neighborhood, helping to create at least 50 new jobs and oversaw investment in excess of $5 million in the business district. He also worked very closely with developers to renovate three vacant school buildings.
He implemented an award-winning marketing program to help recruit businesses to the neighborhood while also implementing new initiatives like the Art Marketplace. Mr. Panza's love for art helped him to work with artists to create their own businesses in Mount Washington and allowed him to work with artists to create three public murals in the business district.
Mr. Panza has also spent considerable time working in surrounding neighborhoods to help build their capacity in their business districts focusing on beautification efforts, public safety and helping businesses to obtain facade grants.
"Greg's passion for community development is contagious, and he brought a unique perspective to his position every day. Greg has considerable design experience that really made him an asset to our organization not to mention his enhanced knowledge of the community since he lives here," says Chris Beichner, executive director of the MWCDC.
The MWCDC is now looking to fill a newly created position. This position will be responsible for some of the business development aspects including business attraction and retention but also look for someone with considerable knowledge of real estate financing and deal-making for future commercial and residential development.
Mr. Panza's last day with the MWCDC was February 29, but he will remain active in the community. He has obtained his real estate license and will be developing his business as a sales executive with Northwood Realty Services.

Bruins, fans show Boston strong
From Wire Services

Bruins lose to Buffalo in shootout
BOSTON - The city of Boston has just begun the healing process and Bruins coach Claude Julien hoped his team could help it make another small step forward Wednesday night.
"The one thing that I sense from our team is that we have the ability to maybe help people heal and find some reason to smile again, by giving them that, by representing our city properly," said Julien. "To me, this is a time where you are proud to be associated with a professional team, even the NHL and all professional sports. When you look at the support this city has had from rivals, that are giving us support at this time, it's amazing. We have an opportunity here to make our city proud. I think we're all in for it and hopefully we can do that for this city right now."
According to espn.com, the Bruins held an emotional pregame ceremony to honor the victims of Monday's marathon bombings. Once the Bruins took to the ice, the 17,565 fans in attendance gave the city's hockey team a standing ovation.
TD Garden became silent as a "Boston Strong"-themed video played on the video board, accompanied by the song "Home" by Phillip Phillips, honoring the first responders with a montage of pictures.
The video concluded with a written message: "We are Boston. We are Strong. Boston strong."
Then, surrounded by the Boston Fire Color Guard, local icon Rene Rancourt began to sing the national anthem. Only a few words in, he motioned to the fans to start singing. The noise was incredible.
Below: Video of Wednesday night's stirring rendition of the National Anthem before the Sabres-Bruins game:
Bruins forward Brad Marchand also raffled off his own TD Garden suite for the team's first home playoff game, with all proceeds to benefit the Richard family of Dorchester, whose 8-year-old son, Martin, died in Monday's bombings.
"Our whole team saw the photos of Martin at our game from last Thursday and learned that he and his family are big fans of ours," Marchand said. "This is just one small gesture, which I hope can help the Richard family during this incredibly sad time for them. What they are going through is unimaginable and we will try to assist them in any way we can."
Security was tightened in and around North Station, a major train and subway stop next to TD Garden, as well as the Garden itself prior to the game. In the morning, vehicles entering the North Station garage were examined, using mirrors to look underneath them. In the afternoon, building personnel were removing the recycle and trash bins from Causeway Street and around TD Garden. Bomb-sniffing dogs were brought in to inspect the building.
Julien said his perspective has really changed in recent years. Earlier this year, he and members of the team went to visit those affected by the Newtown, Conn., shooting spree at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"I just don't want to look at the marathon as the sole reason; there's other things that have happened in this country, in this day and age, that really makes you reflect on a lot of things," said Julien. "But this is the closest, obviously ... you feel that this is your home, this is what you represent as a professional organization. The first thing you do is you want to help out; you want to do the best you can. We did that for Newtown.
"I'll tell you what, there wasn't a better feeling than going there and then trying to spread some joy and put smiles on some people's faces. Our goal is to do the same thing here with this city and everyone that was involved in this tragedy. We've got a good group of guys here that we're fortunate to have on our team that care a lot about what's happened. There's no doubt that it's affected us individually, personally. We certainly would like to be a group that can do something that can really help this city get through it."

Martin Richards
Stage producer and philanthropist
Martin Richards, 80, a prominent stage producer who won an Oscar for producing the 2002 film "Chicago" decades after bringing it to Broadway, died Monday after a battle with cancer, said his publicist, Judy Jacksina.
Plays and musicals he produced over several decades won 36 Tonys. They include the 1978 musical "On the Twentieth Century"; Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd" in 1979 and the 2005 revival; Tommy Tune's "Grand Hotel" in 1989; the 1984 "La Cage Aux Folles" and 2004 revival; and "The Will Rogers Follies," which debuted in 1991.
The son of a stockbroker, he was born Morton Richard Klein on March 11, 1932, in New York City and sang on Broadway as a child in the mid-1940s musical "Mexican Hayride." When his voice changed, he continued singing in clubs in the 1950s and had small movie and TV roles before becoming a casting director in the 1960s.
He met Mary Lea Johnson — an heiress to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune — in the early 1970s and married her before the decade was out. Richards was openly gay, and for many years they lived in separate apartments in the same building. By all accounts, their personal and professional partnership was a happy one, according to Playbill.
The handful of films he co-produced included "The Boys From Brazil" (1978), "The Shining" (1980) and "Fort Apache, the Bronx" (1981).
When his wife died in 1990, Richards received a large inheritance. He was known to relish the good life but was also a generous philanthropist. He was a founding board member of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, established a liver and kidney transplant center at the New York University Langone Medical Center and created the New York Center for Children to care for abused children and their families.
Bryce Bayer
'Father of digital imaging'
Bryce Bayer, 83, an Eastman Kodak Co. researcher who has been called "the father of digital imaging" for the invention of a widely used color filter array that bears his name, died Nov. 13 in Bath, Maine. Direct Cremation of Maine announced his death but did not release a cause.
Since his Bayer filter was patented in 1976, it has been incorporated into nearly every digital camera and camera phone, according to Rochester, N.Y.-based Kodak.
"The elegant color technology invented by Bryce Bayer is behind nearly every digital image captured today," Terry Taber, Kodak's chief technology officer, said in a 2009 statement.
The filter allows devices to capture color images with a single sensor and paved the way for the development in the 1970s of the first working digital camera, Steve Sasson, the Kodak engineer responsible for that step forward, told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle last week.
"He was solving a fundamental problem before that problem was even upon us," Sasson said.
Bayer's invention is the key reason that digital cameras are compact yet provide sharp-looking pictures, another former colleague, Ken Parulski, told the newspaper.
Bayer, who was born in 1929, also developed processes for storing, improving and printing digital images before retiring from Kodak in the mid-1990s.

NH Housing Finance Authority gets $230,000 grant to help consumersBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 20. 2013 10:56PM
BEDFORD — The New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority has received a $230,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to assist families and individuals with their housing needs and to prevent foreclosures.
The money is part of more than $40 million in housing counseling grants announced on Tuesday to 334 national, regional and local organizations.
"As a result of these grants and the additional funding they help leverage, more than 1.6 million households will have a greater opportunity to find housing, make more informed housing choices or keep their current homes," said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan.
The NHHFA at 32 Constitution Drive, Bedford, has been approved by HUD as a counseling agency to help navigate the home-buying process.
"The evidence is clear that housing counseling works," said Donovan. "These grants are a smart investment to help families and individuals find and keep housing, which helps promote neighborhood stability in the long term."
Most of the grant money will directly support housing counseling services, except for $2 million that will go to two national organizations to train housing counselors.
The NHHFA, a self-supporting pubic service organization, qualified for the grant through a competitive process and was the only New Hampshire agency to receive funding. Three HUD-approved counseling agencies in Massachusetts received grants totalling $2.8 million.
Grant recipients use the money to address a wide range of housing issues, including help in finding affordable rental housing and help in reviewing loan documents so as to avoid mortgage scams, unreasonably high interest rates, inflated appraisals, unaffordable repayment terms and other conditions that can result in a loss of equity, increased debt, default and foreclosure.
The NHHFA, which serves approximately 11,000 New Hampshire families each year, partners with nine local housing counseling agencies to provide a network of housing education and counseling services throughout the state.
The grant will also support three online consumer education programs — Find Financial Freedom, Becoming a Homeowner and Mortgage Credit Counseling.
All are available at www.nhhfa.org.

Opinion: Lack of clarity hurts U.S. foreign policy
As President Obama embarks on his second term, his foreign-policy strategy remains murky.
Clearly, the president wants, and needs, to focus heavily on domestic problems. In his own words: "As we turn the page on a decade of war, it's time to do some nation-building here at home." Granted.
Yet — as events in Mali and Algeria showed last week — the world will not hibernate while America puts its own house in order. If allies and enemies believe Obama's top priority is to disengage from much of the world, the consequences for U.S. security interests will be dire.
Those disturbing consequences are already painfully evident in Afghanistan and in the Middle East.
In Afghanistan, the administration has understandably scaled down its objectives as Americans tire of the country's longest war. The current goal is to leave a country stable enough to prevent the return of al-Qaida or affiliates who want to attack the West.
U.S. officials have trained more than 350,000 Afghan security forces — about half of them police — who are supposed to keep their country stable after U.S. troops exit by the end of 2014. U.S. officials are negotiating with the Afghan government about whether to leave a small U.S. force after 2014 (the U.S. military reportedly wants 10,000 to 20,000; the White House is considering 3,000 to 6,000). The purpose would be to provide support in areas such as logistics, intelligence, counterterrorism and air support.
Anyone who follows Afghanistan knows its security forces aren't capable of keeping the peace alone, especially since the Taliban is still potent. Yet the administration has given conflicting signals about whether it wants to keep any follow-on force to give Afghan troops backup and backbone. A senior White House official recently floated a "zero option" — meaning no U.S. troops after 2014. Other officials have indicated that small numbers of U.S. special forces would be sufficient to keep out any resurgent al-Qaida — although it is hard to see how special forces could operate if Afghanistan implodes.
And collapse, or renewed civil war, is what many observers expect if all U.S. troops — or all but a very few — leave next year. Indeed, in the absence of clarity about U.S. intent, Afghan factions are hedging their bets, and rearming.
Even Pakistan — a country that has permitted the Taliban safe haven — has made clear it is frightened of a premature and total U.S. exit. Well it should be. If the Taliban retakes control of much of Afghanistan, it would become a base from which Pakistani extremists would try to take control of their nuclear-armed state.
"When people think the United States is walking away from everything, it really has an impact," says former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Ronald Neumann. Into the vacuum that is created, bad forces flow.
But the most ugly example is Syria, where the administration has been reluctant to lead at all.
U.S. officials hesitated for months over whether to identify and possibly arm moderate Syrian rebels. In the meantime, money and weapons poured in from the Arab gulf to a minority of Islamists and jihadis who seized leadership of the rebellion.
Finally, in November, U.S. officials helped organize a new, broad-based civilian Syrian Opposition Council (SOC). Washington also encouraged the Saudis — yes, the Saudis, who support militant Islamists around the globe — to try to organize Syrian rebel leaders into a coherent fighting force. So far the effort has failed, with moderate commanders shorted of guns and money.
Meantime, the civilian SOC is floundering, because promised funds have not arrived. (U.S. leadership, anybody?) Message: Without strong and consistent U.S. pressure and backing, no moderate Syrian rebel leadership will emerge.
But ambivalence at the top makes such support unlikely. The region recognizes that the White House really doesn't want to get involved in the Syrian struggle, no matter who fills the vacuum.
U.S. officials, however, are busy planning for what to do after the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Never mind that their influence will be minimal, because hard-line Islamists will have won.
White House ambivalence on Afghanistan and avoidance on Syria are widely noticed in other regions. The perception is of an administration that wants disengagement above all, but won't admit the likely consequences — even to itself.
No doubt Iran notices. And China. And al-Qaida's franchise operations in many places.
The issue is not whether the United States should heedlessly engage in more wars (it shouldn't) or engage more at home (it should), but whether it is disengaging too fast from regions where its leadership is still needed. Whether Obama can — or is willing to — juggle engagement both at home and abroad will define the legacy of his second term.

Do Catholic universities make the grade?
We all love to cheer for Catholic colleges and universities, but it takes more than one way of being a Catholic university to educate today's students.
How Catholic should a Catholic university be? "As Catholic as possible" is the proper answer, but what that means will vary from institution to institution. Consider these different approaches: The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in New Hampshire educates a small number of highly committed Catholics and requires everyone to spend a semester in Rome. In contrast, Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina, the most Protestant state in the nation, serves students from diverse religious backgrounds and seeks to educate all of them in the Catholic and Benedictine traditions. Christendom College in Virginia requires all professors to be Catholic, and each must make an annual profession of faith to the diocesan bishop. The University of Notre Dame in Indiana, on the other hand, requires all professors to be exceptional scholars in their field and strives for a predominant number of Catholic intellectuals, but it imposes no creedal tests.
As these examples reveal, Catholic colleges and universities manifest their Catholic identity in very different ways, depending upon their founding charism, mission, resources, sponsorship, size, and student body. Yet each is Catholic and adds to the church's mission in unique ways.
In Catholic Higher Education (Oxford University Press), Melanie M. Morey and Father John J. Piderit, S.J. identify four models of Catholic higher education, each representing distinctive rather than mutually exclusive points of emphasis.
Immersion colleges serve only staunchly Catholic students, who are required to take at least four courses in Catholic theology and philosophy. Campus life is infused with Catholic moral teaching, sacramental opportunities, and spiritual vitality. Faculty are all or overwhelmingly Catholic. Most institutions in this category are relatively small and located outside urban areas, such as Southern Catholic College in Georgia. With nearly 2,000 undergraduate students, Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio is considerably larger than the typical immersion college.
Persuasion schools seek to instill in all students, Catholics and others, "a certain religious maturity in knowledge of the Catholic faith." Required Catholic courses number about half of what is expected in immersion schools. Persuasion universities provide Catholic worship services and activities, but participation is encouraged rather than expected. Catholic professors are actively recruited but do not necessarily predominate. This type of institution is the most common and includes, for example, Villanova University in Pennsylvania and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
Diaspora universities, often located in inner cities or in predominantly non-Catholic regions, serve a student body in which Catholics are a minority-although Catholics are actively recruited. These institutions encourage but seldom require students to take courses on Catholic teaching. Catholicism anchors the institution's character and provides a clear guide to activities and policies, while a predominantly non-Catholic faculty strives to blend Catholic teaching with interreligious sensitivity. DePaul University in Chicago is the most prominent of the diaspora institutions.
Cohort universities attract academically distinguished students who as graduates are expected to exercise considerable social influence in promoting viewpoints informed by Catholic teaching. Among an internationally distinguished faculty and student body, Catholics are well represented but typically are in a minority. Students usually are not required to take Catholic courses but may do so. Catholic students, who form a "cohort" at such institutions, are given generous resources to strengthen and express their Catholic faith outside the classroom. Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. is the most prominent of the cohort institutions.
There also are many other types of institutional distinctions. Some Catholic universities, such as Mount St. Mary's University in Maryland, have on-campus seminaries, while most others do not. Nine Catholic colleges are diocesan institutions, such as Loras College in Iowa, while most others are sponsored by religious orders and a few are governed by lay incorporators.
All this variety, while unsettling to some people, helps to address the complex and seemingly endless needs of the church in secular society. Across-the-board uniformity among Catholic colleges and universities would diminish rather than enhance the church's impact in the world. In part for this reason, Pope John Paul II's apostolic letter Ex Corde Ecclesiae guarantees a generous degree of autonomy to institutions.
Some critics urge Catholic families to walk away from Catholic institutions that serve significant numbers of non-Catholics, that allow any notable presence of non-Catholic or secular voices, or that invite controversial speakers or artists to campus. The core of this strategy is to purge Catholic institutions of distracting influences, leaving as "authentically Catholic" only institutions of the immersion variety. However, if immersion colleges continue to serve only ardent Catholics (who constitute a minority of all Catholics), who is to teach and inspire all the others?
Fortunately more than 200 other Catholic institutions take up the complex challenges of educating a broad range of Catholic students, including those who come from families where knowledge and practice of the Catholic faith are weak. In such institutions, leadership and inspiration are possible, but control is not. So, to paraphrase one of Jesus' parables, most Catholic colleges gamely work at growing intellectual and Catholic wheat in the midst of the world's weeds, even when society's spiritual soil is parched. The work of these Catholic colleges and universities has an almost missionary or prophetic quality to it-requiring respect, sensitivity, patience, love, and acknowledgement of freedom of conscience. These Catholic institutions contribute profoundly-if not always perfectly-to fulfilling Jesus' instruction to go out into the world to spread the Good News.
Most families and their college students have only a limited understanding of what makes a college or university meaningfully or distinctively Catholic. Research suggests that relatively few even give the matter much thought. Only one in every six Catholics now in college attends a Catholic institution, and of these only 10 to 15 percent considered "the religious affiliation/orientation of the college" as a "very important" influence in their decision to attend a particular Catholic institution. Ranking considerably higher are factors relating to an institution's academic reputation, proximity to home, affordability, and size.
The qualities that unite the nation's 220-plus Catholic colleges and universities tend to reflect their common spiritual origin. Pope John Paul II, in Ex Corde Ecclesiae, wrote that the fundamental responsibility of a Catholic university is "to consecrate itself without reserve to the cause of truth." He added that every Catholic university must exhibit four essential characteristics: Christian inspiration, research and reflection in the light of the Catholic faith, fidelity to the Christian message, and an institutional commitment to service. In addition the Holy See and the U.S. bishops have itemized specific ways in which universities should institutionalize their Catholic identity.
Catholics have a right to expect that the Catholic faith will hold a privileged position at Catholic schools and that church teachings will be taught. They should be lively centers for the pursuit of all truth, where Catholics and others are prepared for leadership in a wide range of professions and occupations, and where ethical decisions, virtuous behavior, and Christian faith are modeled. Catholic universities also should apply their expertise to solving societal problems and to advancing justice and peace. And, of course, they should be Christian communities where prayer, sacraments, and spiritual development are integral.
Today's Catholic colleges and universities, diverse in many respects, are working to strengthen their Catholic mission and their service to the church. One indicator of success is that these institutions, which educate only one sixth of the nation's Catholic college students, taught 42 percent of all the men ordained as priests last year. May God continue to bless our schools, and may more Catholic families support them.

The core objective of FEEdBACk is to promote, stimulate and deliver energy efficiency through behavioural change. To encourage a more efficient energy utilization and a more responsible consumer behaviour, the gamification platform will be used to motivate behavioural change by fostering awareness and consumer engagement through a pervasive application that analyses context, sends personalized messages and manages gamified peer competition and feedback. The gamification platform will be embedded in a broader ICT-based platform for energy efficiency with an interactive energy management system, which will aid interested stakeholders optimizing "when and at which rate" energy is to be buffered and consumed, with several advantages, such as reducing peak load, maximizing local renewable energy consumption and delivering a more efficient use of the resources available in individual buildings or blocks of buildings. This system will also interact with an automation manager and a users' behaviour predictor application. The approach to motivate behaviour change is made by intrinsically motivating the user to change procedures and take advantage of opportunities to improve energy efficiency without compromising the comfort level and autonomy. In order for the user to feel in control, the application will analyse the users' context and past behaviour to choose the right moment to introduce advice notices.
FEEdBACk developments will be demonstrated in three different climatic regions (oceanic climate in Porto, Mediterranean climate in Barcelona and continental-oceanic climate in Lippe) and in three different types of buildings (services building, high schools and dwellings, respectively).
The consortium is composed of 8 partners based in 7 different countries – Portugal, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, the United Kingdom, Denmark and Germany.
Three different research partners, INESC TEC, TUDelft and EPFL ensure the necessary scientific background with previous and extensive research and development activities that represent a strong added-value towards achieving FEEdBACk's objectives. Their expertise in key areas of the project such as energy (INESC TEC, TUDelft and EPFL), gamification (INESC TEC) and comfort (TUDelft) puts them among the leading RD European institutions with several scientific publications and participations in RD projects as well as several industry-related projects. These partners have been very much involved in other Framework Programme projects and therefore have a good familiarity with the adequate procedures for a sound and smooth development of the work towards the desired goals. Also, three industry partners, IN-JET, DEXMA and
LiMETOOLS are heavily involved in the key areas represented in this project, namely one company with experience in ICT and a strong background in the social sciences field (IN-JET), another company that focus on the use and development of ICT solutions for energy efficiency purposes (DEXMA) and also a company that brings the gamification expertise to the development of learning tools for energy efficiency (LiMETOOLS). Finally, a citizens' representative (KREIS LIPPE) and a public buildings' manager (ERF) are included that are involved in the user engagement to promote the necessary interaction with the end users, bringing two demonstrator sites with relevant characteristics for validating the overall solution provided by FEEdBACk.
The purpose of WP1 is to ensure a smooth development of the project in a target-oriented way, taking into account both budget and time restrictions, and interacting with all the other WPs. In this WP, the WP leader will serve as an intermediary between the consortium partners and the EC.
In this WP, innovative methodologies that will enable characterizing end users according to different factors will be designed and implemented. This work will include insights from social sciences and behavioural sciences in order to identify user profiles that are able to capture motivational drivers towards achieving energy efficiency goals. These users will be grouped so that they can be targeted with tailor-made actions that are able to maximize the efficacy of the measures undertaken.
The main objective of this WP is to design and develop innovative ICT tools and applications that will be used to promote the interaction with the end users, thus motivating them to engage in behavioural changes towards energy efficiency goals.
In this WP the digital marketplace application in T4.1, a user friendly digital platform, will be developed to enable making available to third parties data from anonymized users, metering and sensors from the demonstrators in order to support the development of new applications and the design of new business models. In addition, the gamification engine (T4.2) and corresponding platform (T4.3) will also be designed and developed with the objective of motivating permanent behavioural change by increasing the consumer awareness and engagement through targeted messages and gamified peer competition schemes. The applications developed in WP3 will be integrated in the ICT-based platform for energy efficiency in the scope of T4.4.
The work to be developed starts by setting up the demonstration of the FEEdBACk solution in a real-world scenario (T5.1). To carry out this work, the technological readiness of the building selected for demonstration will be appraised, namely, in terms of monitoring capabilities and data accessibility, to determine if new metering and data storage equipment is required to be installed.
This WP focuses on the assessment of the main impacts of the FEEdBACk solution, namely in terms of energy, IAQ and environment (T6.1) and economic aspects, which will also enable validating the business models implemented in WP5 (T6.2). Moreover, the aspects related to the sustainability and future applicability of the proposed solution of FEEdBACk will be addressed through a detailed behavioural change assessment (T6.3) and a thorough scalability and replicability analysis (T6.4). This will be complemented through the identification of new business opportunities and definition of market uptake strategies within T6.5. Finally, in T6.6 an insight into future trends in demand response and the corresponding impacts in users' behaviour will also be given, focusing on the identification of key ICT components.
The objective of this WP is to disseminate and promote the knowledge, technical solutions and results achieved during the project. This WP is critical for the uptake of the FEEdBACk solution by third parties.

This morning Brian Ward and I recorded Episode 40 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience. This is how Brian described the show on Ricochet:
This week on the The Hinderaker-Ward Experience, Powerline's John Hinderaker and Fraters Libertas' Brian Ward discuss the fiscal cliff negotiations, Al Gore becomes Al-Jazeera, NR's Kevin Williamson stops by to talk about the economy and where the Republican party should go from here, and Ricochet member Jeff Petraska reveals next week's secret phrase.
Leave this week's secret phrase in the comments on this post and YOU could be the next Ricochet member to appear on HWX.
You can listen to the podcast by playing it right here, or you can go to Ricochet to download or subscribe to the podcast in various ways, or you can hit the subscribe button in the graphic above to subscribe on iTunes or elsewhere. Or you can use Stitcher. There are many ways to experience the Hinderaker-Ward Experience, but I think the best is by subscribing on iTunes. That way, you never have to worry about missing an episode.

Nature's fall fireworks festival is in full swing. And the geographic nature of the Poconos makes it a unique place to see the splash of autumn colors over its wooded landscapes.
Nature's fall fireworks festival is in full swing. And the geographic nature of the Poconos makes it a unique place to see the splash of autumn colors over its wooded landscapes.
Monroe County is between 40 and 50 percent of peak foliage now, depending on location, according to a report Thursday by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry.
The percentage represents the amount of full color in the leaves. The foliage is expected to peak Oct. 15-18, depending on how far north it is in the county.
Northern Wayne and Pike counties are at about 90 percent, with an expected peak today.
"Pennsylvania has a longer and more varied fall foliage season than any other state in the nation — or anywhere in the world," according to Edward Dix, a forest program specialist with the Bureau of Forestry. "Only three regions of the world support deciduous forests that display fall autumn color, including eastern North America; the British Isles and parts of northwestern Europe; northeastern China and northern Japan."
The area's geographic location accounts for much of the variety and richness.
"We have north meets south, which gives us a variety of tree species and one of the most spectacular autumn showcases that rivals New England states," naturalist and Pocono Record outdoors columnist Rick Koval said. "The Poconos is comprised of a lot of southern Appalachian oak forest, softwoods, hardwoods and northern hardwood trees. We are blessed we have a mix."
Koval said red maple is one of most common trees in the Poconos and produces one of the richest blends of colors, including deep crimson red, brilliant yellows, orange, golds and even some greens.
With a little frosty weather this weekend to push the colors along, Dix said it should be an excellent year, maybe a little better than last year.
"Last year in the northern zone we had a lot of heavy rain in late September and October that brought down some of the leaves and caused some road damage," Dix said. "That made getting out to look at the leaves more difficult in some areas."
Last year's foliage change may have happened a week later than this year, Dix said.
"We may peak a little sooner due to the warmer weather we had during the summer," he said. "But whether that means better or not, I don't know. There's no real objective color meter we can look at."
It's not all about beauty though. Leaf peepers — out-of-towners rubbernecking to take in the view — play an important role in the area's tourism industry. And that's especially true for this three-day Columbus Day weekend.
"The importance of this area is the four seasonality of it," Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau President and CEO Carl Wilgus said. "The fall foliage is part of that. Along with the hunting season, that's what sustains us through December."
Wilgus said the Lake Wallenpaupack part of the region is attracting the most room bookings right now, but hotel reservation lines are getting busy.
So what does a visitors bureau chief wish for this time of year?
"The longer (the leaves) stay and the more slowly they turn, the better it is for us. That means less wind and some moisture."

Great product and fit perfectly on my 2014 Fatboy
Perfict Fit. Very easy install.
great product, now my wife sits more comfortably on the back of my 2011 dyna.
Great sissy bar Looks awesome on my 2011 Street Bob
It fit great on my husbands cycle. Quality the best, Looks great, went on with out problems. You Guys ROCK! I will be ordering more stuff for sure!
Good fit, passenger likes it, some difficulty in install on 2013 HD Annv. edition. But well worth it.
Seems like good quality but instructions are minimal at best. I really think somewhere on here it should say that it does not come with the flag insert for the back. Having never bought one of these before I assumed that was just part of the package. Especially since they tell you twice that the luggage rack is a seperate part. All in all a good product just a little upset I have to spend another $40 or so to make it look like the picture shows.
Good quality product but customer service assured me that the back rest insert was included,,,, Wrong!!!
Awesome customer service and great products thank u
yes easy to install Works great would recomend it
Fit great, easy install, looks beautiful, and functionally is a total game changer. My boyfriend has a herniated disc and is gearing up for surgery. He is not allowed to lift and can't really bend or twist due to pain limitations. I still wanted to go out on the bike with him so we threw a leg over, he sat back and didn't hurt horribly during the ride. He was impressed on the difference it made in passenger comfort especially with his hurt back.
I am very satisified with the product.
Good quality for the price
This completed the seat that I purchased
Great bar. Fit well. Looks great. Couldn't ask for a better back rest
Great product easy install and looks great...
Very good!
This is an excellent product. I also purchased the laser cut rack and they look sweet on my C50. Thank you, bm
Easy to install. Took about 20 min. Looks great on bike.
The Sissy Bar fit perfectly. The directions with the packaging was very good. Good quality product. One thing, I didn't pay much attention when ordering and thought the luggage rack came with the back seat. The picture is a little decieving. I would recommend this backrest, it makes riding as a passenger much safer.
easy to install
looks great easy to install the wife likes it for riding also great for securing loads
Looks good, made the wife more comfortable riding on the bike since it was our first one
Had a burr in one threaded opening, had to use a tappin g tool to clean out, now works fine
Easy to install & my wife feels much more comfortable riding now.
Nice product and fit with out any problems!
Great Item, Shorter than i expected because I did not take into account the new thick Mustang seat I had added, but still very easy to install.
This product looks great on my '05 Honda Shadow Sabre. The chrome is finished very well and the steel is solid. I picked just the right size in going with the short model as it's tall enough to be functional and still hit a passenger in the small of the back not the tailbone, but not so tall that it ruins the lines of my motorcycle. I'm adding the tubular luggage rack to go with the bike having just placed my order with J&P today.
Looks good once you figure out how to put it on. Instructions are slim to none. It's more of a contents list. Need pictures, drawings, or whatever. Also different types of installations (like with saddlebags supports or other accesories one might have.
fits very good not hard to put on only about 15 minites looks great
Short cobra sissy bar with rack on Roadliner is beatiful, fits the lines of the bike pretty well, but has one serious flaw. My passenger is 5' 2" at 105 lbs and the pad is angled back far enough that her rear end extends past the back edge of the passender seat. As a result, the seat edge cuts off circulation on the butt. I put a 2 inch block of wood between the bar and pad which fixes this but looks unsightly. Cobra says I could slot and re-chrome the hardware to correct this at my own expense, but this is an added expense to an already expensive item. I suspect larger passengers will have no complaints. Also, while the short bar is sized perfectly for her short size, the pad it comes with is very small and provides little security. The jumbo freedom pad is the only other option at almost twice the size (looks too big)and an additional $79.00 plus shipping. The standard freedom pad (71/2 by 8 1/2) is not available with the short bar. Unfortunately, the competiters do not offer an alternative that looks
Good fit and passanger loves the comfort
very easy to install.
thought there would be better support where bar connects to bracket.i have cobra on my vulcan and it has sqare inserts to mount bar.must be money issue with cobra.
This product will fit your Motorcycle
This product does not fit your Motorcycle.

Things to Do in New York City: Week of June 30–July 6
Jun 27, 2014
Don't let the Fourth of July hog all the attention. From an Avengers-themed costume party to a dream-pop concert at MoMA, there's plenty to do this week beyond cookouts and fireworks. If you still need help filling your schedule, check Groupon for more great things to do in New York City. Drunk Shakespeare Hell's Kitchen | Monday, June 30, at 8 p.m. Sure, this limited-run show has multiple performances throughout the week. However, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more highbrow(ish) excuse to get tipsy on a Monday night. Upstairs at Quinn's Bar & Grill, an actor downs a minimum of five shots of whiskey before attempting to perform a Shakespeare play from memory. Botched lines, mangled soliloquies, and other antics ensue as the troupe blends the poetry of the Bard with the spontaneity of improv comedy. (356 W. 44th St.; $29)
Downward Doll Yoga at Karma Kids West Village | Wednesday, July 2, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Child-centric yoga studio Karma Kids kicks off its Wednesday summer event series with a yoga lesson for kids aged 3–6 and their favorite stuffed animals and dolls. Each toy gets its own mini yoga mat to practice poses alongside its pint-size owner. If this session fills up, no worries—Karma Kids has pirate, shark, and fairy-princess themed yoga yet to come. (104 W. 14th St.; $30) MoMA Nights with Au Revoir Simone Midtown | Thursday, July 3, at 6:30 p.m. The austere white walls of MoMA's sculpture garden will reverberate with the dream-pop of Brooklyn trio Au Revoir Simone this Thursday in the latest outing in the MoMA Nights series. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase, including local gelato and sorbetto from the Garden Bar. Get there before doors open at 5:30 p.m. to wander the museum's summer exhibitions. (11 W. 53rd St.; free with $14–$25 museum admission) Nathan's Famous Hot-Dog Eating Contest Coney Island | Friday, July 4, starting at 11 a.m. Fireworks, shmireworks. Every red-blooded American knows that the real way to celebrate our nation's birth is to watch an adult man (or woman) scarf down dozens of hot dogs in a matter of mere seconds. Stop by to see Kobayashi's archnemesis Joey Chestnut and Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas defend their 2013 men's and women's titles. (1310 Surf Ave.; free) Midtown Comics Fan Party and The Avengers Screening South Street Seaport | Saturday, July 5, starting at 4 p.m.; movie screening at 8 p.m. Can't make it to Comic Con this year? No worries—this Pier/Party event will be crawling with cosplayers. Costumed fans enjoy drink specials and compete for prizes provided by South Street Seaport and Midtown Comics. Stop by to participate or people-watch before The Avengers brings heroes like Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man to life on the big screen.
