Dan Haar: An old pension warrior's new mission
Don't say the words "socially responsible investing" to Christopher Burnham. He's a man on a mission — to take politics out of public pension fund investing.
Anything that smacks of a city or state directing its pension money for the purpose of advancing an agenda — like, say, Connecticut divesting from gun companies — is toxic to Burnham, a name many people in Connecticut, especially Fairfield county, should remember from the '80s and '90s.
"I am evangelizing this position to keep a personal political agenda out of the management of other people's money," Burnham said Wednesday, after a breakfast meeting in midtown Manhattan that he organized to push the cause, a new nonprofit organization and website that will name names.
Sounds OK on the surface: At a time when pension funds are far behind where they need to be — nowhere more than in Connecticut, which is at least $20 billion in the hole and probably much more than that — it makes no sense to sacrifice annual returns to make the world cleaner, nicer, safer, more inclusive. Those are all political agendas in the end, right?
Not so fast. Burnham — a prominent national figure in public finance who was Connecticut state treasurer from 1995 to 1997, and before that, a state representative from Stamford — has waded into waters both murky and stormy. Many pension funds, including Connecticut's, routinely consider environmental, social and corporate governance issues when they invest in companies.
That's even written into Connecticut state law.
So what should Connecticut's next treasurer, who will take over pension funds that now total $34 billion, do? There's no way to make investing philosophy as sexy an issue as, say, sports betting or electronic highway tolls. But if you think Connecticut's fiscal crisis is the state's biggest issue — and it is — then pension investing is right up there in the panoply because that's where the problem lies.

Burnham, 61, a Republican, was tapped as chief financial officer of the U.S. State Department under President George W. Bush, was later chief administrative officer at the United Nations, managing the U.N.'s $40 billion fund. He wants to rein in what he sees in blue states such as New York and California: Moves to divest pension money from industries deemed evil, such as tobacco, firearms and fossil fuels.
These days, he's founder and CEO at a venture fund and is chairman at a loosely related advisory firm. His nonprofit, the Institute for Pension Fund Integrity, is part of a larger movement, mostly Republican, mostly backed by large corporations.
Here's where the murkiness comes in: You can't say the words "socially responsible investing" to state Treasurer Denise L. Nappier, either.
Yes, Nappier, who will end a 20-year tenure running the state's pension funds at the end of 2018, is rightly known as one of the most activist public pension fiduciaries in the nation. Yes, she has steered many companies in many directions using the clout of Connecticut's funds.
But in her view, paying attention to environmental, social and governance issues — known as ESG in the pension trade — is smart business.
"I come to this as a 'bottom-line' investor, a long-term investor. In fact, all that I do as a fiduciary must be grounded in the ultimate principle that my actions increase shareholder value over the long run," Nappier said at a 2013 conference in Massachusetts.
That's the law. Act in the pensioners' best interests. Nappier continued in that 2013 speech: "A company's policies and practices on such issues as the environment, human rights, global labor standards, management and board diversity and other governance matters can have a material effect on the long-term health of a company and shareholder value."
Burnham, as it happens, dismantled the main form of shareholder activism for the Connecticut funds after he was elected in 1994, with former Gov. John G. Rowland. He left in 1997 to join a financial management firm that had done business with his office — perfectly legally after a waiting period — and he was not in any way implicated in the kickback scheme that sent Paul Silvester, Rowland's appointee who replaced Burnham, to the slammer.
Burnham's nonprofit is also pushing for pension funds to come clean about how underfunded they are, by using more realistic rates of return they expect to achieve, and by upping the assumed lifespans of pensioners. Connecticut adjusted its assumed rate of return from 8 percent to 6.9 percent in 2017, and even that might still be too high.
As his website points out, Connecticut achieved only 5.14 percent gains on average in the ten years ending in 2016. Recession, you know.
Burnham isn't charging Nappier with any fault in her activism or her investments. His nonprofit will eventually get into the weeds but it's mostly looking at the big picture.
"If you're looking at ESG from a standpoint of, are you adding value and performance to a portfolio under a responsible amount of risk, then that is a good thing," he said Wednesday. "If you are trying to impose a personal political agenda, then that is a bad thing."
It's a slippery slope in both directions. He wants to make sure responsible investing looking at social factors doesn't slip into agenda investing — and there are signs the Trump administration will tighten the rules. Activist investors don't want a dog-whistle call for letting corporations run roughshod over the social order, at investors' peril.
Looking at the websites of the candidates for state treasurer, Democrat Dita Bhargava, of Greenwich, clearly sees the issue as a big one. She lists "socially responsible corporate governance" as a top priority, including "enhancing corporate diversity," "reining in excessive executive compensation," "addressing the opioid/addiction crisis" and "gun divestment."
It's all in the name of smart investing for Bhargava, who's playing up the fact that she's the only candidate with actual fund management experience on Wall Street.
And it's almost impossible to define the line between a social agenda and using social factors as a responsible fiduciary. Nappier had to explain that fine line to Sen. Gayle Slossberg, D-Milford, on March 1 after Slossberg asked about gun divestment. Industry divestment — which Nappier has never done — is a last resort after engaging companies to do the right thing for their long-term financial interests, she wrote.
Burnham served on the State Department transition team after President Donald Trump was elected. He won't comment on charges that former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gutted the agency.
And as for his firms — Cambridge Global Capital and Cambridge Global Advisors — they're totally unrelated to Cambridge Analytica, the British company tied in with the Facebook privacy breaches.

For infertile couples, technological advances in reproductive assistance have been life-changing in their quest to conceive. One of the most popular methods, in vitro fertilization (IVF), involves extracting an egg from a mother and fertilizing it outside the body. While the method often meets with success, recent studies have highlighted the increased risk of birth defects associated with IVF conception.
2005 Study Finds Birth Defect Risk for Assisted Reproduction
One 2005 Canadian study initially raised issues about the safety of IVF, revealing that the chance of a birth defect is higher among babies conceived through the use of assisted reproductive technology. The researchers, who presented their findings at a scientific meeting, looked at 2005 birth data from an Ontario database. They identified 870 births, 320 of whom were conceived through use of fertility medications, 180 conceived through intrauterine insemination and 370 who became pregnant by in vitro fertilization.
Babies born after fertility treatments were compared to births resulting from pregnancies that were not the result of reproductive assistance. The overall incidence of birth defects in the assisted-reproduction population was 2.62%; it was just 1.87% in the group of births resulting from naturally conceived pregnancies.
When the assisted conceptions were analyzed by reproductive technology, birth defects in the IVF group occurred at a rate of 2.97%, compared to 2.66% for the intrauterine insemination group and 2.19% for fertility medications. The most common birth defects were gastrointestinal, followed by heart defects.
2012 Study Finds 2% Higher Incidence of Birth Defects for IVF Babies
A recent study from researchers at Adelaide University shed further light on the potential risks of IVF, showing that the risk of birth defects for couples using IVF is 7.2 percent, compared with a 5.8 percent risk for babies conceived naturally. Furthermore, when sperm is directly injected into an egg (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) there is a 9.9 percent risk of birth defects. "The findings will make couples more worried, but it's part of our consent process that we advise them of all the risks," he explained.
To reach its findings, researchers linked a census of more than 6100 assisted conception births to South Australia's 308,974 registered births and 18,000 recorded birth defects between 1986 and 2002. The study's lead researcher, Associate Professor Michael Davies, said that although most assisted conceptions turn out fine, the study's goal was to help couples understand the risks of treatments and make informed decisions.
2016 Studies Link IVF to Birth Defects & Childhood Leukemia
In a study published in February 2016, researchers used birth records from Norway from 1984 to 2011, and paired it with the cancer registry. Out of 1.6 million children, their data included 26,000 who were conceived with assisted reproductive technology. 4,500 of them got cancer, 51 of them ART-conceived.
Overall, the cancer risks for children conceived with ART weren't any higher—but leukemia risks were 67% higher among them, with four times the risk of Hodgkin's lymphoma. The reason researchers believe ART may play a role in cancer development is that childhood cancer is often caused by embryonic/intrauterine factors.
Another study found that children conceived through ART were 27% more likely to be referred to Early Intervention, a program designed for infants with developmental disabilities. The study accounted for premature births, and the increased risk already accounts for preterm deliveries.
Despite these seemingly increased numbers, doctors are reluctant to dissuade couples from using assisted reproductive technology. For one thing, couples having trouble conceiving are already more likely to have issues to affect a child's genetics. For another thing, the benefits of ART still far outweigh their risks.
Melissa Bondy, an oncologist and cancer researcher at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, put it this way: "At this point in time, we don't believe the weight of the available evidence is strong enough to suggest that women should not proceed with ART." However, these studies do encourage doctors to inform their patients of the risks involved with ART—especially as new information continues to come to light.
With all the available information on the risks of IVF, doctors offering reproductive assistance must inform patients of the dangers of intervening in the conception process. If your IVF-assisted pregnancy resulted in a birth defect and you were not informed of the risks of this process, you may be entitled to compensation.

Review: Dana Carvey's "Straight White Male, 60" on Netflix
Dana Carvey changed the game when it comes to comedy via celebrity impersonations. Did you know that? I'm not sure I truly did until I reflected on his new Netflix stand-up special, coming out today as it does on the weekend before the 2016 elections, and how differently we treat the art now than we did before Carvey emerged on Saturday Night Live three decades ago. Here's an excerpt from my review, which appears on Decider: Carvey, now 61, hasn't slowed down as much as he has found his second wind as a comedian and impersonator. After taking a...Read More

Questions & Answers
- Why is the Extradition Act so contentious?
- The US and all EU countries have an established criminal justice system - why can we not trust them to host a fair trial of a British citizen?
- So if a crime is suspected of having been committed in the UK, as demonstrated in the extradition request, why don't the UK authorities prosecute it in the UK?
- Surely you're not saying all extradition to the US is wrong?
- Why is facing trial in America considered arduous, compared to facing trial in the UK?
- Why is it harder to defend a case in the US than in the UK?
- Why not enter a plea bargain?
- Why did the UK Government agree to sign legislation that is clearly weighted against UK defendants?
- What is the UK Government doing about the unfairness in US extradition?
- What should the government do to protect British citizens from unfair extraditions?
Why is the Extradition Act so contentious?^ back to top
Because it has two primary flaws:
- Forum: no requirement for the UK courts to consider the best jurisdiction for trial when faced with an extradition request
- Evidence: neither the US nor any of nearly one hundred other countries is required by law to demonstrate before a UK court prima facie evidence of a crime having been committed
The US and all EU countries have an established criminal justice system - why can we not trust them to host a fair trial of a British citizen?^ back to top
It is not necessarily a matter of a fair trial, more it reflects real concerns about the fairness of subjecting a British citizen to the different systems of justice, and sentencing, that are practiced in these countries. For example, in general terms, sentences in the US are considerably longer than those imposed in the UK for equivalent crimes. Furthermore, in the case of the US, American authorities have publicly stated they consider they have universal jurisdiction over a host of potentially criminal activity - such as that conducted through use of the internet. The effect of this is that by acting in breach of a law relating to computer use in the UK, a British citizen may unwittingly find themselves at the wrong end of a criminal prosecution initiated in America. It's one thing knowing about UK laws, quite another to be expected to know whether or not your actions might violate US legislation. Time and again, the UK authorities have 'translated' the alleged criminal charge into one that could be applied in the UK, in order to justify an American extradition request of a British citizen. Beyond that, though, the mere act of extradition is akin to a summary sentence, since the person being extradited is likely to be locked up for months or even years in a foreign prison cell awaiting trial, for something for which no UK court has even seen any evidence, and which may be extremely trivial or frivolous in nature. This flies in the face of both habeas corpus and the presumption of innocence.
So if a crime is suspected of having been committed in the UK, as demonstrated in the extradition request, why don't the UK authorities prosecute it in the UK?^ back to top
This is the nub of the matter. The UK has a sufficiently robust criminal prosecution system to prosecute all of the cases for which UK citizens have been extradited to America - yet instead they choose to cooperate with their 'ally' the US, in allowing US prosecutors to claim jurisdiction. The 'protections' in our extradition legislation are so weak that there is next to no ability to successfully appeal against extradition.
Surely you're not saying all extradition to the US is wrong?^ back to top
No, absolutely not. It's quite clear that if a British citizen travels to America, commits a crime on US soil and escapes and returns to the UK, their extradition should be sought in relation to that crime. However, the majority of contentious extradition cases do not involve someone 'fleeing' from justice. Instead an alleged crime is committed on British soil but the US claim jurisdiction over it because either they claim there are co-defendants based in the US so all should be tried together, or they claim that the proceeds from the alleged crime have passed through US wire services, or they claim that the alleged victim was a US entity. None of these three reasons for claiming jurisdiction for prosecution of (remember) an innocent-until-proven-guilty British citizen should automatically be considered sufficiently compelling so as to allow automatic extradition. Our campaign is simply to ensure that a British citizen has the right to ask a British court to consider the merits of a UK prosecution rather than one in the US.
Why is facing trial in America considered arduous, compared to facing trial in the UK?^ back to top
Well just think about the impact on the innocent-until-proven-guilty defendant. Usually in the UK, the defendant would be granted bail. They would be able to continue to live with their families, continue to work, have time and resources to prepare for their defence. If found not guilty at trial, they can reclaim the majority of the costs of going to trial.
In contrast, an extradition forcibly removes the defendant from his/her home, family, work, friends and support network. Up until the case of the NatWest 3 and the direct intervention of the then PM Tony Blair, no British citizen extradited to America had ever been granted bail. This is because extradited defendants are considered flight risks as in the main they have fought their extradition (no matter that this is their constitutional right). They usually have no connection to America whatsoever - no family, friends etc so have no place to live whilst on bail.
Most people extradited continue to be incarcerated. Being granted bail is still the exception rather than the rule. Even where there is the possibility of bail, it will usually entail paying for accommodation and providing a substantial financial surety to the US court, which is beyond the means of most people.
Why is it harder to defend a case in the US than in the UK?^ back to top
Under UK legislation in a UK trial you can subpoena witnesses to attend to give evidence under oath. Yet once extradited you have no automatic right to compel any witness from the UK to attend. This means that finding supportive witnesses prepared to come to America to give evidence on your behalf is particularly difficult.
The costs associated with preparing a defence are considerable, not least when you take into account paying for your UK home (where families are involved this can be significant) together with your temporary US home, as well as having had UK lawyers to assist in the extradition case, and then US lawyers to defend a case in the US.
The trial date often slips, meaning you are compelled to stay in the US for increasingly long periods of time before you are able to present your defence to a judge and jury - and you spend increasingly longer times away from your family and friends.
If found not guilty at trial, you are unable to recoup the cost of your defence, unlike in the UK.
Why not enter a plea bargain?^ back to top
If a defendant believes in his/her innocence, it goes against the grain to plead guilty to an offence. Furthermore you are required to go before a US court and give an oath that you agree with the plea bargain you have entered into with the prosecution. If you are thousands of miles away from all that you hold dear, and faced with a prolonged period of absence whilst you await a trial, the date of which continues to slip, with mounting costs, the pressure to enter into plea negotiations is immense. Many feel this is no way to achieve justice. However for the US system it produces results - in excess of 98% of defendants enter pleas.
Why did the UK Government agree to sign legislation that is clearly weighted against UK defendants?^ back to top
The best explanation is that it was designed in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and sold to Parliament as an essential tool in the War against Terror. Ironically, to date, not one single terrorist suspect has been extradited from the UK under this legislation.
What is the UK Government doing about the unfairness in US extradition?^ back to top
When in opposition both the Tory and Lib Dem parties were fully aware of the two primary flaws in the legislation (forum and evidential requirement) and vowed to amend the legislation. Yet once in office their action was simply to launch a Review. The Home Office Review is due to report soon. The Joint Committee on Human Rights has already reported on the Human Rights aspects of extradition and in a strongly-worded report, has recommended amendments and fed these recommendations into the Home Office. The Home Affairs Select Cttee has also held an inquiry into our extradition legislation - and is due to report its findings.
What should the government do to protect British citizens from unfair extraditions?^ back to top
Immediately: invoke the forum clause that exists already in the Police and Justice Act (from 2006) to ensure UK courts are given the right to test the appropriateness of jurisdiction.
Longer term:
- Renegotiate the US/UK treaty so as to require prima facie evidence before extradition is granted
- Amend the forum clause to ensure that the presumption is in favour of a UK trial where that is possible
- Require all countries to support their extradition requests with evidence.

Parents' Weekend Returns to Campus
Ouachita Baptist University's Student Senate will host Parents' Weekend this upcoming Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28-29. All Ouachita parents are invited to attend.
"We want parents to know that by sending their children to Ouachita they become a part of the Ouachita family as well, whether they are alumni or not," said OBU Student Senate President Lindsey Fowler, a senior political science, business administration/finance and history major from Arkadelphia, Ark.
The weekend events will begin Saturday at 2 p.m., outside of Ouachita's A.U. Williams Field. Parents are invited to tailgate and get acquainted with the Ouachita community. The freshman class will have their own tailgate for the first time this year, providing parents of new students an opportunity to meet their children's friends, roommates and families.
After tailgating, parents and their students are encouraged to attend the football game against Southeastern Oklahoma State University, the Tigers' first home game of the season. Kick-off is at 6 p.m., and admission is $3.
Parents' Weekend will wrap up Sunday afternoon as Ouachita President Rex Horne and his wife, Becky, host an ice cream social in the Ouachita Commons Alumni Room. Fowler said the social will be a time for parents to get to know some of the faculty and staff members who are working with their students while they are at their second home.
This will be the first Parents' Weekend hosted by Ouachita in several years. "Parents' Weekends are a common occurrence at other schools on game days but something that Ouachita was lacking; we decided to give it a try this year," Fowler said.
For those traveling from out of town, two hotels in the Arkadelphia area, Holiday Inn Express and Hampton Inn & Suites, will offer a discount for anyone attending Parents' Weekend at Ouachita.

Why would I use Torly Travels to plan my vacation?
Torly Travels has been building vacation itineraries for over 10 years. We have done extensive family travel and have always planned our own trips from soup to nuts. We believe planning and organizing are THE key elements to a successful vacation. We have experience with travel in many parts of the world, including but not limited to, Europe and the US. The most important benefit we offer, is that we at Torly Travels understand there is an overwhelming amount of information available relating to travel on the Internet, in travel guides, through word of mouth and on social media. All of this information takes countless hours to break down and decipher what is important. We are expert at sifting and culling that information and narrowing it down to a manageable amount of useful recommendations that cater to the specific travel experience that works for you! We can answer your questions about – where to go, how to get there, where to stay, what to do each day, and where to eat. We even recommend movies to see, or books to read before you go to help enhance the experience. Our skill is finding the right destination, transportation, accommodation, activity and culinary matches for your personality and travel style.
How does Torly Travels get paid?
In order to best answer this question, we need to tell you how we Do NOT get paid. We don't get paid on commissions from hotels, tours, excursions, or airlines. We feel that every traveler is different and may not fit into the box created by a particular relationship with a particular organization. We work on finding the optimal solution for YOU!
We offer two levels of service that are paid directly by you (the client). The first level allows you to use our service to help you narrow down a basic trip and the activities you would like to do, and is paid in a flat upfront fee. The second level allows for more detailed planning and is paid based upon the number of days you are traveling. Details about each level can be found here.
How much of a time commitment will you need from me to plan my trip?
We start with a conversation about your goals (30-60 min conversation). Then we give you a short questionnaire so we can get to know you better. If there are several people in the family traveling, each person will fill out their own. The questionnaire shouldn't take more than 20-30 min to fill out. That's enough for us to get started. Then you can be involved as much or as little as you want. We will check in periodically to make sure we are on the right track.
We always recommend movies to watch, or books to read ( age appropriate – if kids are involved) to get you in the mood for your trip. That time is completely optional!
How much advance notice do you need to plan my trip?
Ideally we will begin our trip planning at least 8 weeks before departure. This allows for time for us to get to know your needs and to get the best rates for flights and/or accommodations. Traditionally, airline rates increase dramatically inside of the 6 week mark of travel. If we are not booking flights, there is a little more flexibility. We have even planned last minute getaways!
Do you only cater to families?
No – we have kids ourselves so we've got lots of great recommendations for kids but we can also work with couples, singles, backpackers, and groups!
Can you help plan a trip on a super low budget?
We can help plan all kinds of travel at all economic levels! Want a super luxurious trip – we will find the best plan for you. Want a budget conscious trip? We can do that too. The key here is we will generate the type of trip you want. It takes on average 8 hours to plan a trip to just one destination. Add a second destination and you've got another 4-5 hours of work easily. The data is out there and we are here to offer our expert organizational and culling skills in gathering a trip that makes sense for your budget. Let us sift through the data as well as the reviews and determine the right fit for you.
What if I need help while on my trip? Is that service available?
As described in our fees section, we have 2 levels of service. The highest level of service includes advice while on the road. Although we are confident we will send you on your trip armed with everything you need, travel is all about rolling with the punches. Unforeseen circumstances will sometimes require additional information from us. If you have purchased the Adventurer package, we are at your service (with the understanding that it may be the middle of the night for us!) until you are safely back home.
What if I have not purchased the Adventurer package and I need help on my trip? Can I call you?
Sure – our basic package (the Discovery package) includes one week of support no matter where you are. If you are on the road and determine you need our services to plan your daily activities, find restaurants for you, or if you have a change in venue, we can help you with that for up to one week, at the rate of the Discovery package.

BANGALORE: The High Court has quashed the summons issued against Lenin Karuppan, former driver of the selfstyled godman Paramahamsa Nithyananda, by JMFC Court Ramanagar following a complaint by Anjula Jackson, a foreign devotee of the tainted seer.
Lenin had moved the court challenging the JMFC Court's issue of summons. Anjula, lodging a complaint with Ramanagar police, had alleged that he had violated Nithyananda's privacy, trespassed the living quarters of the selfstyled godman besides defamed the 'seer'. Later, the case was refereed to Bidadi police station.
The petitioner submitted that allegations made by the complainant did not satisfy the ingredients of the offence alleged against him. Taking cognizance of such a complaint and issuance of summons was bad in law and without application of mind by the Judge.
He also contended that the complaint was vexatious and an act of vengeance and as a consequence, following the complaint lodged by him against Nithyananda proceedings and sought to quash the complaint.
Hearing the petition Justice K V Keshavanarayana disposing off the petition filed by Lenin, directed the magistrate to consider the complaint afresh and quashed the order dated August 28, 2010 and the cognizance taken on October 30, 2010.

Jack and I were able to get 4 suites at the Hotel Park City through our business, and our friends were somehow able to all drive up the same weekend! It has been an especially busy past couple of weeks for Jack with work and I was ready for a break from the girls. For the past few years, Jack and I have gone on our big yearly vacation in the spring (Remember Hawaii last year?! 2012 was San Francisco, 2011 was Cali, and 2010 was Europe). This year we booked a trip to New York City and DC for the fall instead, so this weekend was a welcome little respite when we usually need it. We picked Tasha and Jordan up from his sister's house Saturday morning and made the beautiful drive up to Park City. We hit the outlets for a little while and then when Kassie and Eric were done snowboarding up there the 6 of us ate at Loco Lizard, a great little cantina we like by the outlets. Clar and Tracy had eaten right off of their flight so they stayed at the outlets longer. We did some more shopping, then went and checked into our rooms. Remember, this is the same place we stayed for Jack's 31st birthday. Each building has 4 suites in it, which meant that our group had a whole building to ourselves! We each took some time with our spouses in our separate rooms and then met back up before dinner.
Jack and I met up with Kassie and Eric and walked down the path to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (the other 4 went to a thai place). The food was aaaamazing! Jack got the ribeye, which was the best steak I've ever had. I didn't think there could be a better cut than the filet mignon, but I would definitely recommend the ribeye over the filet. We also got calamari as an appetizer, and some great sides of cauliflower au gratin, mashed potatoes, hot bread, caesar salads, and then my favorite banana tart dessert. Back at the rooms we took some more time as couples. Jack and I read this talk together, by Brad Wilcox about the Atonement. If you haven't read it, please do. We then all got in one of the hot tubs together on the balcony. We played games until late and ate tons of junk food. Highlights of the game night include Tracy hiding up on the rafters of the living room and then throwing marshmallows at Jordan when he came in, Jack pretending a cotton ball was a marshmallow on a cookie and trying to feed it to Jordan (I'm not sure why Jord became the brunt of both jokes), and playing the sign game with everyone. If you haven't played the sign game with a funny group, you're missing out. Everyone has their own sign and they have to pass and accept them from others around the circle and then one person in the middle tries to catch who has the sign at the moment.
On Sunday we slept in (!) and then dressed for church and packed up our things. We attended a local ward for Easter Sunday and it was really neat to all be in church together. On the way out we saw Elizabeth Smart in the foyer. We had a great last lunch all together at Park City Pizza and Noodle where we all passed our meals around and took bites, then headed home.
my haul from shopping
Below are a few cute finds for Olivia. Jack also got tons of new tees and shorts to accommodate his weight loss!

International Pilgrimage Safety
Follow-up/companion piece to an earlier article on pilgrimage safety.
World Youth Day is just around the corner again. In 2016, the huge international event will be held in Poland. Without a doubt, there are people from your parishes or schools planning to attend.
There may also be groups planning trips to Marian shrines and other religious sites overseas.
International pilgrimages require even more careful planning than overnight trips within the diocese or the continental United States. In addition to the safety guidelines described for local trips, these are some of the critical issues you need to consider.
Plan carefully
This is not a do-it-yourself project. Begin by identifying tour operators known to your peers. Ask around. Other youth ministers and group leaders will be happy to share their experiences.
Consider only the vendors who can provide suitable, current references and proof of insurance coverage. Look for vendors that have experience in booking trips to the destination you are choosing. Some travel agencies may also have personnel that can accompany your group which can greatly enhance the entire experience.
Make sure you understand the vendor's cancellation policies and know exactly what is included in the price that is quoted.
Interview several vendors. Get all the details and prices in writing before you commit.
Check the website of the US Department of State, http://travel.state.gov. Updated information and travel alerts and warnings will help you assess whether the planned trip is a safe idea.
The same website will give you entry and exit requirements, including visa and immunization information. Be sure to account for the time it will take for students and chaperones to obtain passports and, if necessary, visas and immunizations. Find out whether potential participants who are not US citizens have special requirements.
Check the insurance
For international travel, always include supplemental group health and accidental insurance for all participants. Advise parents and adult participants to review their health insurance policy to see if it applies overseas, and if it covers emergency expenses, such as a medical evacuation. If the group is making a mission trip through an international program, such as Habitat for Humanity, such insurance may already be included in the program fee.
Know the money
Review currency and understand the exchange rate between the US dollar and the local currency. This rate will fluctuate. Exchange enough currency in advance to cover initial transportation and food expenses. This can be done through a local bank or commercial currency exchange. Note that airport kiosks generally charge a larger fee than other options.
While traveling, use travelers checks or a credit card that does not impose an international surcharge.
Know the chaperones
A chaperone's primary responsibility is to help ensure the safety of participants. Please maintain an adequate ratio of chaperones to youth.
All chaperones accompanying minors, including parents and guardians, must undergo a criminal background screening and complete Virtus' Protecting God's Children program. For the safety of all participants, at least one chaperone/staff member should be certified in CPR and First Aid.
Keep in touch
For ease of communication during the trip and in the event of an emergency, chaperones should carry cell phones. US cell phones may not work internationally, or the charges imposed by US service providers may be prohibitive. Check with the local service provider to learn if the chaperones' phones will work abroad. If so, ask about usage fees. Other options include renting an international phone from a US company or buying a SIM card to insert into an existing phone to allow lower rates and a local number. International text messaging and free apps may allow you to use your phone to text inexpensively or access the Internet.
Be prepared
Emergency planning is critical. The organizer must carry copies of these documents and leave copies with the school or parish administrator:
- Trip itinerary with exact details of each day's events, including flights, transportation, lodging, restaurants
- Names and cell phones of all chaperones and their relationship to the travelers
- Names and home phone numbers of all travelers, including emergency contact information and medical insurance provider details
- Copies of the passport data page and visa for each participant
- Copies of all permission slips
- Directory of addresses and telephone numbers for US embassies and consulates in each country visited. A chaperone must contact the embassy or consulate if a passport is lost or stolen.
- Directory of medical facilities in each country visited, annotated in advance with information about which regularly treat expatriates. Use the State Department website for this.
Determine what you will do if a traveler becomes ill, or must return home before the end of the trip because of a disciplinary issue.
Sign up for the US government free Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), which enables the Department of State to assist you in an emergency.
Do your homework
Know the rules and customs of the place you are visiting. Understand and respect dress codes. Make sure parents and travelers know that a breach of discipline will lead to an expensive and embarrassing expulsion.
Drugs of all kind
Although drinking laws in the country you are visiting may be more permissive than the laws in the US, always follow US law; no one under the age of 21 should be allowed to consume alcohol. Any person using illegal drugs will be subject to the criminal laws and penalties of the countries where they are apprehended.
No drugs of any kind, prescription or non-prescription, may be administered to a traveler unless specified in advance on a signed permission form. Prescription medications for all travelers should be carried in the original prescription bottle.
Trust, but verify
Chaperones must conduct room inspections every evening to ensure that travelers are in their assigned rooms, are not entertaining guests, and are not using alcohol or illegal substances.
Participants must not leave their lodgings alone or without permission for any reason. They should not use any lodging facilities, such as pool or fitness center. There must be no deviation from the list of activities specified on the parental consent form.
Participants may not operate or ride on any motorized vehicle, such as a car, scooter, motorbike, or boat, regardless of the consent or approval of a chaperone.
In an emergency
If there is an incident or an injury,
- Contact local authorities
- If indicated, contact US embassy or consulate
- Contact your organization's administrator
- Contact parent/guardian/emergency contact
- Contact the Office of Risk Management
Planning as much as possible in advance and following these guidelines will help make sure your international pilgrimage is a resounding success.

Spring Menu in the Making
Spring takes a whole new life form in our neighborhood. As we sit directly across the street from Madison Square Park, we get a front-seat view of the seasons changing. The beauty of nature's growth, in magnitudes of color and size as it blossoms is a spectacular experience to witness. As Spring approaches, so do seasonal favorites like ramps, shishito peppers, fava beans, and more! Here's how we've incorporated ingredients like these on our dining room and Chefs Table menus.
When it comes to creating these dishes, our Chef-Owner John Doherty along with Executive Chef Matteo Bergamini give us a valuable glimpse into the work it takes. Follow us behind the scenes.
What we've learned is that the entire process is an art form from concept, design, flavor and texture. Paying close attention to the upcoming season, focusing on creating flavor and combining textures, our chefs ask themselves which flavor to highlight.
The making of it….
The entire process is a team collaboration, born on paper and made in the kitchen. Chef Matteo and his team create the prototypes which are then refined to perfection.
New Spring additions also include:
Tuna Tartar served with mango, avocado, and a spring salad.
Diver Sea Scallops served with morel mushroom risotto, fresh peas, lemon zest, and scallop jus.
Roasted Duck Breast served with pink pepper black garlic sausage, poached rhubarb, smoked potato, and chanterelle.

We're moving on up...
We have some exciting news to share. After several years in our studio at 111 Redpath Avenue, Nielsen Fitness headquarters is moving to a new, bigger and BETTER location (with plentiful free parking!).
While we've enjoyed our time at Yonge and Eglinton, we've outgrown the second-floor space we're in. So we're moving - to a bigger location at the brand-new Wicksteed Business Park, which is just East of Laird Drive and South of Eglinton in Leaside.
We are - obviously - primarily an in-home personal training business, so this change will not affect the vast majority of our clients. We still need a studio space though - for daily work, meetings, and professional development. We also carry out a very small number of studio training sessions.
Our new space is bigger, brighter, brand new, and has tons of parking. It will allow us to run workshops that we have not had space for in the past, and gather more often as a team for professional development, which will help us serve our valuable clients better.
It may not look like much in the photo above (taken last week), but every day our new home gets a little closer to being ready for business. We'll be out of our old location as of Thursday November 26, and hope to be up and running on Wicksteed as of December 1.
Whether you're a client or not, our door is always open - feel free to stop by any time!

I'm making this one short and sweet. The market is out of control so you have to cook fast or that produce will go bad! I found these great squash blossoms and had a ton of jalapeños so thought "appetizers!"
I am convinced that frying things in the house is not for me so I decided to bake stuffed jalapeños wrapped in prosciutto (inspired by Amanda Paa) and breaded squash blossoms stuffed with goat cheese. Here is a visual guide.
Preheat the oven to 400.
Slice and seed the jalapeños. Slice the cheese into long pieces. I used smoked Gouda.
Place a cheese stick in a pepper half and wrap with prosciutto, place on a baking sheet.
For the squash blossoms:
Beat two eggs in a bowl and pour some panko with salt and pepper into another dish.
I cut a corner off of an herbed goat cheese package, perfect for filling the blossoms.
Swish in the egg and shake off the excess.
Roll them around the panko mix.
Nestle the two friends together on the baking sheet and pop in the oven. I went with 15 minutes at 400 then broiled them for 10 minutes. Basically until they got melty and browned.
I could eat this every weekend.

I hate writing this post, and the only reason I am is because I want you to know that we are ALL human, and we ALL do things that take us a little astray from our goals at times – no matter how motivated or disciplined or habitual we are about those goals. AND because I want you to know that building good habits (and knowledge) will help you immensely during those times
In the last 2 weeks we went on a trip to New Orleans, celebrated a 15 year wedding anniversary, celebrated the hubby's birthday and tried to make the last week of summer fun for the kids – trip to the beach, a little extra ice cream here and there… and while I indulged a little more than normal, each time I did it was planned and on purpose. These plans included fried chicken, beer, pizza, fried shrimp, and more beer…) and I didn't gain a single pound because I also kept up with my HABITS – my workouts, my other 5 meals each day that were very healthy, the healthy meals on the days we were not celebrating something…
My habits carried me through so that my chosen (and moderate) not so healthy treats would "do no harm"
But yesterday… nothing special… just a Saturday… not extra celebrating, not extra stressful, just another day. I went to the gym, had a great lunch, went to the grocery store where the "healthy living" aisle was 20% off… and I bought a bag of chocolate/toffee covered almonds for the kids and hubby, did some work when I got home… and then…
Something quite disturbing happened – it's disturbing only because I didn't seem to have any control over it – but it started innocently enough when I ate some of the almonds. And then I said "ok Debi, you worked hard all week to get to your goal, don't let this stupid bag of candy ruin that – step away from the bag"… and I did… until an hour later when I ate some more. I shared them with the family hoping to get rid of them (thank goodness I am such a cheapskate and didn't buy very much). Over the course of the evening though I had eaten the whole bag (minus whatever the rest of the family snuck). In 2.5 years this has not happened – I've eaten worse and a lot more of it, but never by anything but choice
WHAT I ate, and how much of it, isn't the issue… what bothered me about it was the lack of control. I haven't had a snickers bar in 3 years – by my choosing – but I just ate 2 snicker's worth of almond candy – not on purpose. This could send me spiraling down a dark path, and I took a few steps in that direction. But then I looked over the habits I've built and reviewed my day:
I went to the gym (habit), and ate my normal gym breakfast (habit), had a great lunch (habit), went to the grocery store and bought good healthy ingredients for my meals at the "healthy living" sale, and bought a bag of chocolate/toffee covered almonds (NOT a habit), adjusted my dinner to mostly chicken and veggies to balance the candy I'd eaten thus far (habit), finished off the bag of almonds (NOT a habit), ate a protein and fiber rich snack (habit) and went to bed.
Having followed MOST of my habits for the day probably saved me from too bad of consequences from that stupid bag of almonds/candy – I adjusted my meals to account for the extra and made sure to eat protein and veggies for extra nutrition. At the end of the day I probably actually stayed in calorie range and got plenty of protein – I know I got plenty of carbs and fat! And I may cut about 100 calories a day for a few days or tone down some treats I might have indulged in later in the week.
But what I did NOT do was starve myself the rest of the day. What I did NOT do was try to eat only 800 calories the next day… or week… What I did NOT do was get on the treadmill for 3 hours to burn it off. I need my regular amount of energy and nutrition so I can do my workouts thru the week. If I can't get thru my workouts this week I'll be even further behind – can you say spiral? I just jumped back in to my habits/routine right where I left off.
I am not, by any means, suggesting that you'll arrive at your goal unscathed if you dive head first into a bag of m&ms… but rather that building your habits, living your habits, not only steers you toward your goals, it might just be the parking brake that keeps you from rolling backwards when life throws a bag of m&ms at you!
And for the record – I seem to be doing fine today – esp now that the candy almonds are all gone

Who do you look up to? Is there someone in your industry that you aspire to be like and that you would look to for advice? Maybe there is a public figure that you follow that you draw your inspiration from.
For many of us we have that person. The person whose quotes we recite, whose blogs we read and who we hold up as our icon. How do those people become that authority and hold such a position of respect? Well they didn't get there because they weren't good at what they do. They are people who have taken risks, made mistakes and then succeeded, learnt from experience and that now share their experience with people like you.
Look around you – who is there in your industry that you see as this person? Who is the most respected, trusted, well-known figure locally in your profession? There may not be anyone but the chances are that there is always that one person who is seen as the expert.
Becoming an authority or an industry expert
It is not impossible to become that figure yourself. If you know what you are doing and are good at what you do then you can build your own position as an expert in your profession. Now more than ever you have a platform for sharing your expertise. Platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter allow you to share your knowledge through blogs, sharing tips, useful articles and information. Do you have a blog? If not get one and start blogging about your industry. They don't have to be award winning literary pieces – most blogs just come from people sitting and typing what comes naturally. If you have to force it then it then is it really coming from you?
Use the internet to give you a voice – what better place to find an audience?
Get yourself a blog on your website and start writing. Even if you can't work out how to upload the blogs or where to start simply write the articles and get someone to post them for you. Share them on your social media pages and via your newsletter, send them by email to your regular customers. Before long you will build yourself a reputation as a reliable source of information even if it is just within your local network.
Networking is another useful way to build a reputation. Go to local networking events, connect with others on LinkedIn. If there are tradeshows or events locally make sure you have a presence. You have to put yourself out there if you want to be seen and heard.
Building a reputation as someone who is an expert in their field will only add to your bottom line. Recommendations will increase and people will want you and your company to provide the products or service that you provide.
It's not easy. It doesn't come from a few good intentions. It requires consistency and persistency. The rewards will be well worth it though.

CUNA economists recently dusted off their crystal ball. The prognostications probably won't shock you, but you might be pleasantly surprised.
The U.S. economy appears to be back on track, and should grow 2.5% in 2012 and 3% in 2013. Increasing job creation will continue to fuel the self-sustaining economic expansion during the next two years. But further household deleveraging (paying off debt) and government fiscal austerity scheduled for 2013 will be slight drags.
Inflation will remain near the Federal Reserve's target of 2% in both 2012 and 2013. And core inflation (excluding food and energy prices) should stay at 2% for the next two years, due to weak wage pressure and low factory utilization. Low core inflation will keep inflation expectations and long-term interest rates low.
The unemployment rate will decline slowly during the next two years, as employers increase hiring faster than new entrants into the labor force. But the higher-than-normal unemployment rate will keep credit union delinquency rates above historical averages. Expect unemployment to average 8% in 2012 and 7.5% in 2013.
With weak labor markets, the federal-funds interest rate should stay low. But don't be surprised to see a slight increase in 2013, if economic growth surprises on the upside. Labor and credit market conditions will be the major factors influencing the Fed's decision to increase interest rates. But it will wait until loan demand increases and unemployment decreases before beginning its exit strategy from its extraordinarily easy monetary policy.
Bond market yields also are likely to increase, but only modestly. Economists have a poor track record of forecasting them during the past several years, but the fundamentals suggest the 10-year Treasury interest rate will average 2.15% in 2012 and 2.75% in 2013. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will keep his foot on the monetary accelerator to keep downward pressure on long-term interest rates through 2012. But they're likely to climb above 3% by the end of 2013.
If so, the Treasury yield curve will steepen in 2012 and 2013, as long-term interest rates increase faster than short-term interest rates. This will increase credit unions' net interest margins, as the practice of borrowing short term and lending long term becomes more lucrative.
Given these macro expectations, credit union savings balance growth should remain at 5% for the next two years. Despite rising disposable incomes, savings balance growth will remain below its five-year average of 6.4%, as members begin to spend again to relieve pent-up demand and they continue to deleverage. Currently, members are paying off debt rather than saving surplus funds, due to the large interest-rate differential between loan and deposit interest rates.
After three years of essentially no loan growth, credit union loan balances should increase 4% in 2012 and 6% in 2013. A stronger job market will boost consumer confidence and increase spending on autos, furniture, and appliances.
Auto loans, credit card loans, and purchase mortgages will be strong growth areas. Mortgage refinancing activity might be exhausted, but rising longer-term rates should entice first-time home buyers off the sidelines.
Credit quality will improve in 2012 and 2013. Overall loan delinquency and charge-off rates will fall as job growth accelerates. Provisions for loan losses as a percent of assets will fall to 0.4% in 2012—below the 0.43% recorded in 2007.
Overall, credit union return on assets will increase to 0.9% (after stabilization expense) in 2012 and 2013. Lower loan loss provisions will increase net income in 2012, as credit unions allow allowance for loan loss accounts to decline. NCUA assessments should equal nine basis points (bp) of insured shares in 2012 (an approximate 10 bp improvement over 2011) and loan growth should help boost asset yields, if only marginally.
Of course, modest growth and stronger earnings will mean capital-to-asset ratios will increase from 10% today to approximately 11% by year-end 2013. Credit union capital ratios will approach the record level of 11.5% set in 2006, the year before the start of the Great Recession.

GSMA Mobile World Congress? More Like GSMA iPhone World Congress…
"iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone." Turns out, Apple CEO Steve Jobs was off by about two years when he made that statement in January of 2007. Looking over the announcements coming out of the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, it's clear that many owe a debt of thanks to Apple (AAPL), whose presence is felt at the event even though it can't be bothered to attend. Consider the rough approximation of iPhone multitouch navigation in Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 OS–now to be known simply as Windows Phone. Or Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Marketplace for Mobile, an over-the-air application bazaar similar to Apple's App Store.
Also taking inspiration from the App Store: Nokia's Ovi Store—a location-aware mobile storefront that peddles not just applications, but content as well. "This is not just a place to find applications," said Nokia executive vice president Niklas Savander. "It's a smart store. That is not just for smartphones. It actually suggests things you might like and adds social location dynamics to show you relevant applications. And it shows you what your friends have bought. And it changes the inventory based on where you are….Consumers want content that is relevant to their interests, location and the people they care about. We believe that social location is the next wave of consumer demand. The consumption of mobile media is fundamentally different from that on a PC, as it needs to be faster, easier and more appropriate. It's not about what, but about who, where and when."
With the "how," apparently provided by Apple. Because much as Nokia (NOK) would like us to think otherwise, the Ovi Store appears to be little more than Apple's App Store made location-aware and properly scaled to Nokia's purposes. Same concept. Same developer revenue share (70 percent).
It would seem then, that the most talked about "innovations" at this year's GSMA Mobile World Congress–improved touch interfaces, app stores, new content relationships–are little more than rivals' takes on last year's Apple news. With the third major revision to the iPhone expected in June, that may well be the case at next year's Mobile World Congress as well.

You're in the time between planting and harvest. The Lord has planted all these amazing seeds in your lives over the last month that He WILL develop into an incredible harvest of fruit in your life! But all you feel right now is a plowed up field. The fruit will come, it always comes, but The Lord will be the one to bring it all to fruition. He wastes nothing, Al, not a single moment of the last year since the very moment Willa was conceived has been a mistake or a misstep. Every single second has been within His firm grasp and for His specific, exact purpose. And it WILL bear fruit! It already is!
How can I doubt that He will show up and comfort me with His truths when He provides exactly what my soul is thirsting for?
For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11
BAM! His burden truly is light. Weightless.
