According to Euromonitor Survey, 89% of Respondents Bought Private Label Products in 2013
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS--(Marketwired - Jan. 21, 2014) - Market Research Company Euromonitor International released a new report today on the face and future of private label brands for retailers, focusing on the shift to private label, category performance globally and regionally and competitive analysis.
According to the report, constraints on disposable income pushed shoppers to trade down to basic items, providing an opportunity for private label brands to increase in popularity. Overall perceptions about the quality of private labels have been improving for decades, although they vary country to country depending on the maturity of the market.
Euromonitor's Global Consumer Trends Survey of 2013 noted that consumers in India and France were most positive about private label with 27% and 23% saying they intended to increase purchases of private label products over the next 12 months. However, private labels are still a little known concept in Russia where as many as 23% never buy private label products. Private label penetration is highest in Switzerland with 37.7% and lowest in China with .4%.
Within private label products globally, packaged food accounted for the majority of fast moving consumer goods with 77% of value sales in 2012, but the strongest penetration for private label was found in tissue and hygiene products at almost 14% as products such as toilet tissue and paper towels are easy for retailers to distribute and generate good margins. The private label share within packaged food was at 12%.
Retailers are also investing more into marketing campaigns focusing on packaging, advertising and promotions to achieve parity with branded products and to remove negative connotations towards private label brands.
"The somewhat negative economic outlook is a positive for private label because consumers will remain frugal for a while longer. Private label has enormous long-term growth potential since sales are still equal to only 10% of all grocery value globally," said Editorial Director at Euromonitor Gina Westbrook. "Grocery retailers should further expand and develop their private label offerings to compete in this fierce marketplace."

Meditation in IslamBy Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
There are two concepts or schools of meditation in Islam. One is that which is described in the Qur'an and Sunnah, another is that which has been developed by the Sufis in later times (that is, after the first phase, considered the ideal phase of Islam).
The original concept of meditation is based on contemplation, called tafakkur in the Qur'an. That is, reflection upon the universe to gain food for thought. To put it differently, this is a form of intellectual development which emanates from a higher level, i.e. from God.
his intellectual process through the receiving of divine inspiration awakens and liberates the human mind, permitting man's inner personality to develop and grow so that he may lead his life on a spiritual plane far above the mundane level.
The second form of meditation, the one developed by the Sufis, is largely based on mystical exercises. However, this method is controversial among Muslim scholars. One group of Ulama, Al-Ghazzali, for instance, have accepted it, another group of Ulama, Ibn-Taimia, for instance, have rejected it as an innovation.
The root of the word TAFAKKUR is F-K-R. This root appears in Quran about 18 times. It has the following meanings:
- To think upon, consider or examine a thing
- To consider a thing in order to obtain a clear knowledge of it
- To employ one's mind, thought or mental consideration upon something
- To reflect, think on, ponder over
- To consider, contemplate, ponder with care, attention and endeavour
- Arranging of known things [in the mind] in order to attain [the knowledge of] unknown [thing]
Importance of thinking, contemplation and reflection according to Quran
Please refer to the following verses:
Say, "I only exhort you to do ONE thing: That you rise for the sake of Allah in pairs or singly and THINK & REFLECT!..." [34:46]
Say, "Are the ones who are blind in respect of the mind equal to those who are endowed with mental perception and understanding? Will you not then THINK & REFLECT?" [6:50]
Allah makes clear to you Al-Ayaat, so that you may THINK & REFLECT [2:219, 2:266]
Verily, in the creation of the heaven and the earth, and in the alteration of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding-those who remember [the Guidance of] Allah standing, sitting and lying down on their sides, and THINK & REFLECT about the creation of the heavens and the earth… [3:190-191]
We explain in detail Al-Ayaat for the people who THINK & REFLECT [10:24]
And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two: He draweth the night as a veil o'er the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are Ayaat [proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.] for those who THINK & REFLECT! [13:3]
It is He who sends down rain from the sky: from it ye drink, and out of it (grows) the vegetation on which ye feed your cattle. With it He produces for you corn, olives, date-palms, grapes and every kind of fruit Behold, verily in these things there are Ayaat [proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.] for those who THINK & REFLECT! [16:10-11]
We have sent down unto thee the Message; that you may explain clearly to men what is sent for them, and that they may THINK & REFLECT! [16:44]
And thy Lord inspired the bee, saying: Choose thou habitations in the hills and in the trees and in that which they thatch; Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of thy Lord, made smooth (for thee). There comes forth from their bellies a drink divers of hues, wherein is healing for mankind. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who THINK & REFLECT [16:68-69]
Do they not THINK & REFLECT in their own selves [or minds]? Not but for just ends and for a term appointed, did Allah create the heavens and the earth, and all between them: yet are there truly many among men who deny the meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrection)! [30:8]
And among His Signs is this that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who THINK & REFLECT [30:21].
It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are Signs for those who THINK & REFLECT [39:42].
And He has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, all, from Himself; most surely there are signs in this for a people who THINK & REFLECT [45:13].Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would certainly have seen it falling down, splitting asunder because of the fear of Allah, and We set forth these parables to men that they may THINK & REFLECT [59:21].

Fantasy Football: Week 11 Sleepers
Blake Bortles
Despite looking erratic quite often this season, Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has quietly put up respectable numbers as a bottom-tier option for fantasy owners. He has double digit fantasy points in all but one game this season, including 16 + fantasy points in his last three contests (per standard scoring formats). With a matchup against the Browns porous defense this week, Bortles should continue his under the radar streak of productivity for fantasy owners. The Jaguars will most likely be without wide receiver Allen Hurns this weekend, while Marquise Lee is listed as questionable as he battles a lingering knee issue. Even though Lee is expected to play at less than one-hundred percent, I still love Bortles' matchup this week. I fully expect the Browns to stack the box in efforts to slow down Leonard Fournette and the running game, which should provide Bortles more room to operate down the field. He'll be a sneaky candidate for top-ten production in Week 11.
Jay Cutler
While it's safe to say Jay Cutler probably should have opted for the broadcast booth in 2017, he's been able to string together productive performances in back-to-back games. Albeit, last week's 213 yards and two passing touchdowns came in complete garbage time, as the Panthers thumped the Dolphins 45-21 on Monday Night. While it's looking like Cutler and the 'Fins are a team destined for much more garbage time this season, this week they actually have a solid chance to pickup a win at home against Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs defense ranks 29th in the league against the pass as Cutler will have a prime opportunity to move the ball downfield. I like the chances that Head Coach Adam Gase tries to get Kenny Stills and Devante Parker involved in the vertical passing game with Cutler taking a couple shots downfield. While this offense has struggled immensely over the course of the season, they should be able to put together a respectful day in the passing game.
Running Backs
Tevin Coleman
Before the season started, I wrote a column on some of the league's top running back handcuffs in event of the starter missing time in the lineup. Tevin Coleman was an easy choice for a running back to put in that category. While Coleman has played second-fiddle to Devonta Freeman each of the past three seasons, he has proven to be one of the best backups in the league over the past two. This week, Coleman has a great chance to show the rest of the league what he's capable of doing when presented with the chance to be an every-down back. Devonta Freeman left last week's game after sustaining a concussion and doesn't appear likely to suit-up for Monday Night's tilt in Seattle, as he's struggled to gain clearance from the league's concussion protocol. The Seahawks boast a stout run-defense, ranking ninth against the run this season. However, after losing Richard Sherman to a torn achilles in last week's win over game over the Cardinals, it'll take much more of a group effort to corral Julio Jones and the Atlanta Falcons receivers this weekend. I think Coleman has a solid chance to find some running room against a Seattle defense I expect to show a various series of looks, including a bunch of sub-packages of the nickel and dime variety. With Freeman looking like he'll be ruled out in advance of Monday Night, Coleman should be catapulted towards the top when it comes to low-risk / high-reward DFS plays.
Jay Ajayi
It's no secret the Philadelphia Eagles have looked like the best team in football throughout the first 10 weeks to this year's season. However, it's a scary thought to think their running game has the ability to improve over the back-half of the regular season. After acquiring Jay Ajayi from the Dolphins ahead of the tread deadline, the former Boise State standout has only suited-up for the team in their Week 9 blowout over the Broncos. Absorbing the Philly offense on a short week, Ajayi made the most of his touches, as the fourth-year pro toted the rock eight times for 77 yards and a touchdown. Coming off the Week 10 bye, Ajayi will be more acclimated and comfortable within the confines of the Eagles' offense for this week's divisional slate with the rival Cowboys. Ajayi is a similar-styled runner as fellow bruiser LeGarrette Blount, but is quicker into his cuts and can get downfield in a hurry for a big-bodied back. The thought all along was that he would eventually supplant Blount as the featured back, but that sentiment could come to fruition as early as this week. If last week was any indication how much the Cowboys missed their pro-bowl left tackle Tyron Smith, the Cowboys could be in trouble again in Week 11. The team gave up a total of eight sacks, six of which to Adrian Clayborn, and will be without Smith for the second consecutive week. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense could certainly struggle with time in the pocket, thus having a difficult time to put up points. If the Eagles get out to an early lead, it could be a downfield dose of a runaway Ajayi train in the second half.
Wide Receivers
Bruce Ellington
With Texans wide receiver Will Fuller expected to miss Sunday's game against the Cardinals, the next man up will be Bruce Ellington. The former sixth-round pick has been a solid slot receiver and hauled in his first touchdown reception of the year in last week's loss to the Rams. With shutdown corner Patrick Peterson expected to blanket DeAndre Hopkins all afternoon, look for quarterback Tom Savage to rely on Ellington to create separation if the Houston offense has any chance to move the ball with consistency. Fantasy owners should expect 7 + targets from the third-year receiver and former San Francisco 49er as Ellington will be on the flex radar for Week 11. He's one of the deeper sleeper for this week in year-long and DFS leagues.
Tight Ends
Tyler Kroft
While the Cincinnati Bengals have struggled to maintain consistency this season, they have already been all but eliminated from playoff contention sitting at 3-6. It's fair to wonder if Marvin Lewis will return for a 16th season as Bengals Head Coach. That said, the Cincinnati offense never materialized the way it hoped as rookie receiver John Ross has struggled to stay on the field, while Tight End Tyler Eifert was shutdown with renewed complications in his surgically repaired back. However, third-year tight end Tyler Kroft has done his best to alleviate the absence of Eifert. The Rutgers product draws a matchup with a Denver Broncos defense that has struggled to duplicate the level of play that earned them the mantra of a "No Fly Zone" stemming from their secondary's ability to shut down opposing passing attacks. While Denver's defensive unit still ranks towards the top of the league in defensive metrics, they are no where near as effective as they have been over the past few years. After allowing 51 points two weeks ago against the Eagles, the Broncos followed-up that performance by allowing 41 points to the Patriots on Sunday Night. With Denver's defense primed to focus all of their attention on bottling up A.J. Green, I think Kroft could quietly put together a solid game.
San Diego Chargers
When the Buffalo Bills made the surprise announcement this week that they would start backup quarterback Nathan Peterman in place of Tyrod Taylor, fantasy owners quickly ran to the waiver wire to pickup the Chargers defense. Peterman is a rookie signal-caller out of Pittsburgh who got his feet wet in garbage time in last week's blowout loss at the hands of the Saints. It's anyone's guess what kind of level he'll play at this Sunday in Los Angeles, but the fact Buffalo's 5-4 record has been mired by inconsistency by the offense doesn't bode well for immediate success. The Chargers should be able to force a few turnovers and wreak havoc in the backfield when Peterman makes his first NFL start. The Chargers will be a great, cheap option in DFS for Week 11.

Britain's reputation has fallen victim to a rising tide of violence in Iraq that has devastated millions of lives in the Middle East and threatens the security of the West, it was warned yesterday.
Three foreign policy reports published yesterday on the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad examined the fallout from the Iraq war and Britain's role in the war against terrorism.
Oxfam accused Tony Blair of squandering British interests in a conflict that has spiralled out of control. It claimed that Britain had suffered a loss of prestige as a result of its involvement in the Iraq war with grave and negative consequences for foreign policy.
Not only had Britain forfeited credit for its foreign policy achievements, such as debt relief for Africa, but its diplomatic clout had been weakened by the failure to restore security in Iraq, Oxfam claimed.
The Oxford Research Group, a think tank, said British and American strategies were fuelling support for Islamic radicals, emboldening dictatorial regimes and harming prospects of Middle East peace.
But perhaps the most damning comments were published by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
As the only international body to maintain a significant presence in Iraq throughout its years of turmoil, the ICRC findings were at the heart of the foreign policy debate all three groups sought to ignite yesterday. Its opening salvo declared: "Iraq: a conflict that spares no one."
The ICRC found that every aspect of Iraqi life had been affected by the disastrous collapse of security.
Violence had "torn apart" families and forced hundreds of thousands to leave their homeland. The country's health care system was in ruins. More than half its doctors had fled the country. Its morgues were overflowing with unclaimed bodies.
Beyond acts of violence, public health was increasingly jeopardised by the scarcity of necessities, safe water and a reliable electricity supply.
Pierre Kraehenbuehl, the ICRC's director of operations, said Iraq's citizens were victims of relentless violence. He said: "The suffering that Iraqi men, women and children are enduring is unbearable."
Ordinary Iraqis, Whitehall mandarins and the leaders of British and American foreign policy were all judged to be damaged by the fallout of the country's burgeoning civil strife, the report found.
But Mr Kraehenbuehl refused to endorse calls for an end to efforts to improve security. He said there was a chance that a recent reinforcement of coalition troops would improve the situation.
"Whatever operation that is today under way, and that may be taken tomorrow and in the weeks after, to improve the security of civilians on the ground may have an effect in the medium term," he said. In partnership with the Iraqi Red Crescent, the ICRC - which maintains a fierce neutrality - distributes millions of tons of aid across Iraq.
Oxfam made political points that the ICRC was careful not to set out. While admitting that it had no direct presence in Iraq, the charity said the "terrible misadventure" of Iraq threatens the future direction of British foreign policy.
"The UK Government believes that it has not received credit for what it has done elsewhere, because its policy on Iraq has been unpopular at home and abroad," the report said. "It would be disastrous if that failure led the UK and other governments to stand back from trying to help resolve the most difficult conflicts."
Downing Street refused to comment on the reports but the Foreign Office rejected claims the Iraq war had damaged British clout overseas. "The conclusions are fundamentally flawed," a spokesman said. "Our intervention in Iraq was justified."

Studying abroad in Thailand has challenged my most basic assumptions about tourism, society, and identity. It has been the best four months of my life.
The great thing about being an intern in Barcelona is that I was able to work in a different country. CISabroad did an amazing job pairing me up for my internship. As a hospitality and tourism management major, we learn a lot about hotels and restaurants in the classroom but my internship was marketing for an award winning hostel chain. This gave me the chance to learn about the industry in a different way and it really opened my eyes to what is out there.
Pack an open mind with you! When traveling, you are faced with so much 'new' all at once that uncomfortable often becomes the new comfortable. No worries though - it keeps things exciting!

Photo Gallery: "We've come this far by faith"
In a service that blended worship and remembrance, members of the Louisville Seminary community gathered in the Frank H. and Fannie W. Caldwell Chapel to honor the life and legacy of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Led by the student-run organization, Women at the Well, the community was invited to consider King's legacy by reflecting first on his words and work, and then on the stories of other civil rights activists for whom King served as inspiration. Focused on the theme, "We've come this far by faith: Honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," the January 16 service was opened by the Rev. Dr. Debra J. Mumford, Frank H. Caldwell Associate Professor of Homiletics and Associate Dean for Students, who also serves as Faculty Advisor to Women at the Well.
The service incorporated a recording of King's final message, often referenced by the title "I've Been to Mountain Top," which was delivered in Memphis Tennessee on April 3, 1968. In his speech, King called for unity, continued nonviolent protest, and political action – as he challenged the nation to live up to its ideals. "All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper,'" King said. Challenging what he called illegal injunctions, King reminded the nation of its citizens' basic First Amendment privileges.
"Somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for rights…," Kings said in his speech.
Notably, King closed his message with a biblical reference, which served to encourage followers, yet many wonder if it also prophesied his untimely death on April 4, the day following his speech.
"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because, I've been to the mountain top… And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land," King said.
After reflecting on these words from Dr. King's message, Norman Williams, a student in the Master of Arts and Marriage and Family Therapy (MAMFT) degree program, read the Old Testament account in which God's people are told to continue their quest to enter into the Promised Land without the leadership of Moses, who had died and would not be taking them there (Joshua 1:1-5).
The service also included the voices of civil rights activists Ida B. Wells, Coretta Scott King, Fannie Lou Hamer, Alice Walker, Michelle Obama, and 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Winners Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's first democratically elected female president, who shared the award with Leymah Gbowee, from Liberia, and Tawakkul Karman a leader in the protest movement in Yemen. Seminary students dramatically interpreted the stories of these women who have fought for civil rights in the quest for peace and justice.
In closing, Dr. Heather Thiessen, Louisville Seminary alumna (MDiv '00; ThM '02) and director of the Women's Center on the campus, invited participants to post on a memorial board the pictures of historical and contemporary civil rights leaders who have inspired them. The board quickly filled with the faces of several well-known individuals, including Woman's Rights activists Gloria Steinem and Margaret Sanger; Gandhi; Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi; domestic violence educator Marie Fortune; and Los Angeles-based civil rights lawyer Constance Rice.
"I am so grateful to the Women at the Well for a very moving and inspirational worship service. Hearing the women's stories through 'their voices' was so meaningful," said LPTS student Susie Wiggins, who is completing her final semester in the MAMFT and MDiv dual degree program.
Women at the Well is a racial ethnic women's organization founded in 2003 on the campus of Louisville Seminary. Their collective purpose is to resist racism and sexism and to help other women in their struggle for well-being and wholeness.
The service also included student leadership from Toya Richards, Stacy Debose-Brown, Tiffany Williams, Aritha Berroa ,Angela Johnson, Traci Simmons, Dawn Ellicott Clinkscale.

Hunters Hill Happenings with Mayor Richard Quinn
HUNTERS Hill Council has for some considerable time adopted a position of "no forced amalgamations', noting that any merging of local government areas should be the decision of the local community and not of the NSW Government.
Recent media advertising and local government news stories suggest that the Government may be pursuing an agenda that will lead to forced amalgamations of councils.
With the IPART Report on "Fit for the Future" submissions due to be presented to the Government in October, we need to remain vigilant about any actions that may arise which could result in the forced merger of our local councils.

The cable network and sponsors deemed an eight-city shopping mall tour promoting the recent Eco-Challenge endurance race so successful that a bigger tour is planned for next year, going beyond shopping malls.
Discovery Channel also is scouting additional ways to use events, said Bill McGowan, senior VP-advertising and sales for Discovery Networks, parent of Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.
"We'll be using events in unique ways in the future to capture additional advertising dollars, now that we've seen how it can work," Mr. McGowan said.
American Isuzu Motors, MasterCard International and Qantas Airways were primary sponsors of the mall tour, Discovery Channel's first-ever tour specifically promoting one telecast.
A total of 400,000 consumers got a chance to try rope climbing, rock climbing and meet the endurance athletes from the annual Eco-Challenge. The sponsors promoted their products at each mall stop with on-site signage; they also advertised on last month's Eco-Challenge telecast.
MasterCard culled from the Eco-Challenge its first-ever TV spot derived from an event. McCann-Erickson Worldwide, New York, created a 30-second commercial using footage provided by Discovery Channel.
The next Eco-Challenge, airing in spring 1999, will be promoted by a tour in as many as 10 U.S. cities with several major sponsors, Mr. McGowan said. MasterCard has committed to a multiyear sponsorship with a heightened presence at each tour stop.
Mr. McGowan also is making event plans for Animal Planet. For the inaugural Animal Planet National Dog Championships in March 1999, he's working on an aggressive series of integrated marketing tie-ins and events for advertisers and event sponsors.

It's terrific that during these tough economic times, the official DonorDrive Run Walk Ride Scholarship program provides free conference access to a deserving non-profit organization.
Cincinnati, Ohio (PRWEB) January 25, 2013
When the economy is down, many non-profit causes struggle to fundraise enough to meet their mission. A recent GuideStar survey notes that 2/3 of all non-profits in North America had a stagnant or down year in 2012. The DonorDrive Run Walk Ride Scholarship Program was founded to help non-profits reverse that trend. Again this year, as the official Run Walk Ride Scholarship sponsor, DonorDrive is sending a staffer from a deserving cause to North America's premier conference on 'thon event fundraising. Previous scholarship recipients have said that their conference learnings have really helped their cause be more effective in fundraising.
The recipient of the scholarship this year is Marta Hodson, Community Relations Manager at the Harry Chapin Food Bank in Fort Myers, Florida. Marta applied in hopes of getting ideas for adding a run alongside their current Hunger Walk. From her winning essay: "This conference would give me the opportunity to network and glean ideas from organizers of successful and larger walks and runs."
A prerequisite of the scholarship is that the non-profit can't have previously attended the conference. When founding the scholarship last year, Paul Ghiz, Managing Partner of Global Cloud, makers of DonorDrive, felt it best to open the scholarship only to newcomers. "We hope that (over the years) our scholarship will have the biggest impact by helping a different organization improve their fundraising every year." Marta is delighted with the opportunity. "I'm really, really thrilled to go. It wasn't in our budget for me to go otherwise." Past winners have included Jen Bates of Farm Sanctuary and Mary DiCarlo of TREEFund.org
Each year the caliber of education that the conference presents gets better and better. This year's sessions include those from big 'thon players like the American Lung Association, JDRF, the ALS Association, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, MS Society, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. As a sign of the increasing interest in the scholarship, applications grew by 90% this year. David Hessekiel, founder of Run Walk Ride, feels the scholarship was an important addition to his event. "It's terrific that during these tough economic times, the official DonorDrive Run Walk Ride Scholarship program provides free conference access to a deserving non-profit organization."
Marta notes that the Harry Chapin Food Bank serves one of North America's economically hardest-hit areas where need of their services are up dramatically. "Food distribution is now two-and-a-half times what it was five years ago." She hopes Run Walk Ride will help her to find new ideas for their walk and good guidance on creating their run in order to help them better meet the need in the community. "We're always looking for new ways to keep it fresh and new every year. Something to keep the people engaged and coming back."
DonorDrive® is truly effective software dedicated to event-based social fundraising for medium and large non-profits. Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, Doctors Without Borders, Autism Speaks Canada and Team ASPCA are a few of the causes that use DonorDrive Social Fundraising software for their runs, walks, rides and virtual campaigns to engage constituents and maximize donations. Every year, people are raising millions for great causes through DonorDrive. Learn more at DonorDrive.com.
The Run Walk Ride Fundraising Council was founded in 2007 to support the causes that use 'thon events in North America to raise more than $1 billion a year. Learn more at RunWalkRide.com.
The Harry Chapin Food Bank is the largest hunger safety net in Southwest Florida. It was named in honor of singer and composer Harry Chapin, Congressional Medal of Honor Winner for his fight against hunger. Learn more at HarryChapinFoodBank.org.

Hard work ahead for final teams
BU facing hostile enviornment; Minnesota facing expectations
MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Golden Gophers' are as little as 60 minutes away from clinching a perfect season and a second consecutive national championship, but neither reward will come without work.
The top-ranked, undefeated and untied Gophers (40-0-0) will face No. 3 Boston University (28-5-3) Sunday afternoon on Minnesota's own Ridder Arena ice in the Division I final. BU head coach Brian Durocher hopes his team will keep its momentum going Sunday against the favored Gophers in what, for the Terriers, will promise to be a very hostile environment.
His job is made easier, though, in that little will need to be said before Sunday's game in order for him to geek up and prepare his Terriers for the opportunity at hand: Namely, a shot at the first national championship in their program's history.
"They know who's in front of them and they know the mark that [Minnesota has] set," Durocher said, "And I don't think I'll have to say too much.
"You kind of almost have to dial people down so they're still thinking about what they have to do."
Durocher has no delusions about the difficulties his team will face on Sunday, though. The Gophers have been virtually invincible this season for plenty of reasons, and three of those reasons are embodied in the best players at their positions in all women's college hockey.
On the scoring front, junior Minnesota forward Amanda Kessel leads the way. Her 44 goals and 53 assists from 36 games so far this season saw her named the 2013 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award winner Saturday afternoon as Division I women's hockey's top player.
In fact, all three Kazmaier finalists this season play in the Gophers' maroon and gold. Senior defenseman Megan Bozek (20 G, 35 A) has been Minnesota's rock on the blue line and in the Gophers' own zone this season, and senior goaltender Noora Raty (0.88 goals-against average, .959 save percentage) has been women's college hockey's best netminder this season.
Raty is the starting goalie for Finland's women's national team when she isn't been keeping pucks out of the Gophers' nets. In terms of her performances for Minnesota, she has left Gophers head coach Brad Frost feeling confident about his team's defense throughout Raty's four years, and especially late in seasons when shots at the ultimate glory in the college game are in play.
"You've got to be playing your best [at this stage], and there's going to be some highs and there's going to be some lows," Frost said, "But you can prepare for yourselves and focus the team on your opponent but also believe in what we're doing and our preparation and then the players just need to go out and execute.
"If you get great goaltending, that's only going to help, and obviously we've got that in Noora."
Minnesota got to this point in the season by winning its second overtime game in a row in this NCAA tournament. The Gophers outlasted WCHA conference rival North Dakota 3-2 after nearly three full extra periods in Minneapolis on Mar. 16 before a ninth goal of the season from Sarah Davis 1:39 into bonus hockey on Friday evening lifted Minnesota to a 3-2 win against Boston College in a national semifinal worthy of "instant classic" status.
Durocher's team will be able to counter on Sunday with plenty of weapons of BU's own. Four different Terriers scored in their 5-3 win NCAA quarterfinal win against Clarkson Mar. 16, and the same happened again in BU's semifinal Friday, a 4-1 win against Mercyhurst.
BU senior goaltender Kerrin Sperry nearly pitched a shutout against the Lakers, if not for MU's lone goal of the night coming with 1:53 remaining in the game. Sperry has impressed throughout this season for the Terriers, posting a 24-4-3 record, .921 save percentage and 2.14 goals-against average.
Spreading the wealth on offense is hardly a new trend for the Terriers. Eight BU players this season have all have at least 23 points to their names, and four have surpassed the 40-point mark thus far over the current campaign.
Most dangerous of all, though, is the Terriers' top forward line of freshman Sarah Lefort, junior (and BU captain) Marie-Philip Poulin and senior Jenelle Kohanchuk. The line factored into three of the team's four goals against Mercyhurst, and they have a combined 136 points so far this season.
Durocher isn't expecting a high-scoring game on Sunday, though. He spoke at length instead after his team's win on Friday about containing Minnesota's high-powered offense, which has been the nation's best so far this season with an average of 5.25 goals scored per game.
"I don't really think we'll get into a run-and-gun game with them, but the circumstances change all the time in this game," Durocher said. "They had a low-scoring game with Boston College and we got into a little bit of a bigger lead than I thought we'd have [against Mercyhurst] by three or four goals, so whatever shows up Sunday, we have to react to it.
"We have to keep our composure. I think the biggest thing to be excited but to have that be a channeled energy."
If things go wrong for the Terriers, though, Minnesota will be looking at the fifth national championship in the history of its program and –- even bigger historically -– the first unblemished season in the history of NCAA women's ice hockey.

It's been three months, to the day, since our last Betty Suarez pratfall. Three months, to the day, since our last Wilhelmina Slater cocked eyebrow. Three months, to the day, since our last Mandy and Marc madness. I think it's safe to say, we're all ready for Betty, wouldn't you? Ugly Betty returns to the air tonight with its first post-strike episodes, and not a moment too soon.
The campiest show on television is back for five all new episodes. The series will pick up on Betty's 24th birthday. What can we expect? Well, since this season has already seen a death, near-death, near-wedding, baby mama drama, baby daddy drama, artificial insemination, amnesia and Posh Spice, I'd say just more of the same old, same old.
In honor the return of America Ferrera and company, the terrible twosome of Becki Newton and Michael Urie (aka Mandy and Marc) have recorded the show's first-ever video podcast. Yes they call it a "video podcast" and not the shorter, more succinct "vlog." Gosh, is The L (Wrong) Word-iness contagious? Regardless the terminology, the clip is fun and now I cannot stop singing "Ready For Betty." I really can't. I've tried everything.
The one possible downer in all this Betty-liciousness? After the strike there was a big behind-the-scenes shakeup on staff. The studio axed two of the show's executive producers, Marco Pennette and James Hayman. The shift also apparently meant changes in the writers' room. Does this mean changes for Wilhelmina's withering wit?
It's too early to tell. But I do know the changes have prompted series regular Rebecca Romijn, aka Alexis Meade, to cut-back on her appearances. Rebecca told the New York Post gossip blog Pop Wrap:
"They made a tremendous amount of changes, especially with the writing staff (during the writer's strike). And while I know I'll be coming back next season, with all the changes, I'm not sure they can take care of my character they way they have been. So I'll be leaving, back in a recurring capacity, but time for me to leave and find something else."
No, not less Alexis. Who will be the show's fierce tranny hot mess now? Oh, wait, I see.
Actually, Project Runway winner Christian Siriano is only guest starring May 1. But I'm sure it'll be totally ferosh. So, how ready for Betty are you?

The Obama administration is seeking ideas from market participants on how Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) can employ bulk sales of foreclosed homes, turning these units into rentals that will help stabilize local housing markets.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) believes that partnerships or joint ventures with the GSEs may be the must effective way to reduce losses to taxpayers and bring liquidity to housing markets. But the GSE regulator also is seeking public recommendations for other strategies. The deadline for submitting ideas is September 15.
Private partners would be responsible for day-to-day management and maintenance of the rental properties.
FHFA and FHA are considering bulk sales of one- to four-family homes and condominiums that would range in size from $50 million and (in the case of joint ventures) up to $1 billion.
Housing secretary Shaun Donovan pointed out that the cost of renting is going up while foreclosed homes are standing empty putting downward pressure on housing prices.
"Taking steps to encourage private investment in REO properties and transition them into productive use will help stabilize neighborhoods and home values at a critical time for our economy," Donovan said.

Claims facing more scrutiny from auditors, survey shows
A recent survey shows that requests by RACs for records increased 22% from the first quarter of the year to the second quarter. Commissioned by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, RACs requested 546,000 medical records during the second quarter, according to a survey conducted by the American Hospital Association.
In March, CMS granted audit contractors the authority to request twice as many records as before in March, so there could be even more increases reflected in subsequent measuring periods.
The survey found that the increase in records requests also meant additional denials of automated and complex claims. Automated RAC denials include billing or coding errors — such as the absence of documentation in a claim. A complex denial is based on human review of medical records.
Provider groups and lawmakers have criticized RACs for being overzealous about therapy claims, leading to heightened tension between providers and regulators.
Federal regulators, however, say intensified efforts are paying off. CMS officials were reported as saying the number of defendants facing healthcare fraud charges rose significantly last year. That, in part, is a result of a quadrupling of Medicare "Strike Force" teams over the last four years, observers say. Congress has pledged $340 million toward fraud prevention over the next 10 years.
The American Health Care Association said the increased scrutiny and enforcement should be moderated. AHCA has said some auditors, such as Zone Program Integrity Contractors (ZPICs), are engaged in "stealth policymaking."

A 65-year-old drifter already facing the death penalty and a life sentence for murdering women in Florida and Georgia, pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to charges that he robbed, kidnapped and killed an elderly couple in national forests in western North Carolina.
Gary Michael Hilton's admission of guilt was part of a plea agreement which saves him from a federal death penalty but insures he will be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Hilton had been charged with the October 2007 slayings of 84-year-old Irene Bryant and her husband, John, 80. Federal prosecutors say Hilton killed John Bryant in the Nantahala National Forest in Macon County, then murdered Irene Bryant in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. The Bryants, who lived in Hendersonville, had been kidnapped while hiking in the Nantahala forest.
Prosecutors said Hilton camped in the national forest, waiting for victims. Friends of the victims said the Bryants were world travelers and enjoyed hiking in different countries.
The slayings in North Carolina launched what investigators said was a killing spree that lasted into early January 2008.
Hilton was convicted of killing Cheryl Dunlap, a 46-year-old nurse and Sunday School teacher, in a national forest in Florida in December 2007. He received the death penalty in that case. Prosecutors say Hilton then kidnapped 24-year-old hiker Meredith Emerson in a forest in Georgia, held her for three days, and then killed her around New Years Day 2008. Hilton received a life sentence in that case.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office said prosecutors have not decided whether Hilton will spend the rest of his life in a federal prison or if he will be returned to death row in Florida.
"Our hearts go out to the Bryant family," U.S. Attorney Anne Tompkins said Tuesday. "No action by the criminal justice system can soothe the pain they must live with.
"We trust that the fact that Mr. Hilton will spend the rest of his life in a prison, locked away from all civilized society, will bring some closure -- if not comfort -- to the Bryant family."

Children's movies used to be made for grown-ups.
If you're an adult now, they're the movies you grew up on. They had clear-cut stories, recognizable (if fading) stars, straightforward filmmaking and a nice safe moral at the end.
Because they mostly were made not for a child's enjoyment, but for the approval of the accompanying parent.
That's changed during the past decade or so, driven by the huge cable success of Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. Executives realized it is children who now make the entertainment choices. And it was them, not parents, to whom they aimed their shows.
You can see that sugar-rush aesthetic at work in the not-suitable-for-adults "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer." It's based on the characters from a children's book series and made for an independent studio. But, artistically, it has the kids-cable style down pat.
Visually, that means lots of distorting wide-angle close-ups, neon-bright colors (green is a favorite) and interspersed cartoons, title cards or pop-up onscreen words and visuals.
Dramatically, that means a traditional suburban family -- but with two utterly idiotic and mostly offscreen parents, a smart-mouthed star who gets away with everything, and a supporting cast of junior weirdos who exist only to get roped into her schemes.
There is no moral (not even the mushy "Believe in yourself" mantra that Pixar and Disney still insert in every cartoon). There isn't even any point, really. There is, however, vomit, poo, pee, and lots of running around and screaming.
The titular star here -- who is worried that her summer is going to be dull, but manages to find some fun anyway -- is Jordana Beatty, a not particularly appealing child who has been given an Alfalfa cowlick and encouraged to mug shamelessly.
The recognizable grown-ups, so-called, include the saucer-eyed Heather Graham as an Auntie Mame stand-in, and Jaleel White as Judy Moody's third-grade teacher.
As Judy's hippie-ish Aunt Opal, Graham looks -- well, slightly insane, her eyes two huge blue pools of desperation. (If you saw this character in real life, you'd cross the street.) As Judy's goofy teacher, White brings back memories of his long-ago stint as TV's Urkel.
They are not happy memories.
Apart from the extremely overheated style, there's not much in "Judy Moody" to keep your interest. Never mind the lack of recognizable adult characters; there isn't a real character in the film besides Judy. Everyone else exists merely to serve her.
But then again, that's probably how a typical, real-life third-grader would describe an absolutely perfect world. And she's the audience this movie was made for -- not you.
Note: Newhouse News movie critic Stephen Whitty wrote this review.
1.5 stars, out of 4
Snapshot: An antic but hardly entertaining movie about a third-grade girl's dull vacation, and how the arrival of an eccentric hippie aunt spices it up.
What works: A typical third-grader might think the movie depicts a perfect world.
What doesn't: Like plenty of the sitcoms that clog TV's Nickelodeon, the movie panders to its small-fry audience; if you need to accompany a child, be prepared for a very long 91 minutes.
Starring: Jordana Beatty, Heather Graham, Jaleel White. Director: John Schultz. Rating: PG, for some mild rude humor and language. Running time: 1 hour 31 minutes. Where: See movie listings.

To prepare the leeks: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the heavy dark green leaves of the leeks, cut into 1/4-inch circles, and rinse well in cold water. You should have about 2 cups. Pour the melted butter into a small ovenproof casserole, add the leeks, mint, salt, and pepper, and pour over the heavy cream. Toss to distribute evenly. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
To prepare the salmon: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place 2 overlapping slices of bacon over each salmon fillet. Lightly oil a large heavy sheet pan and place the salmon on it and roast in the top part of the oven for 10 minutes for medium rare. The bacon should almost melt off.
To serve: Spoon leeks and their sauce into the center of each of 4 serving plates and place the roasted salmon with bacon on top.
