Company. We are very pleased that he is joining us."
"I am not only delighted to again be associated with Mike, I am
particularly excited at the opportunity to participate in the future
development of NuCo2," said Mr. Romano.
"NuCo2 as the only national supplier of bulk CO2 systems for the
fountain beverage industry is truly a unique company with enormous potential,
and I look forward to playing a part in its realization."
Mr. Romano, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD,

ABOUT NUCO2
Substantially all of NuCo2's revenues are derived from services that
include installation, maintenance and rental of high quality bulk CO2 systems
installed at customers' sites coupled with reliable, continuous delivery of CO2
product to those systems. NuCo2 Inc. is
a pioneer in the use of and the nation's leading supplier of bulk CO2 services
and systems for carbonating and dispensing fountain beverages. Bulk CO2 involves use of a cryogenic vessel

reliability of supply, consistent and improved beverage quality, increased
product yields, reduced employee handling and storage requirements, greater

HEADLINE: Leaves can recharge worker ... or kill career
SOURCE: St. Louis Post-Dispatch
BYLINE: REPPS HUDSON
For the month of February, Dace Skudina was on leave from her job as a chaplain fellow at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
She has been living and working in her native country, teaching at the University of Latvia, in the capital of Riga. Her students are like her: dedicated to the art of helping the injured and the sick along the journey to sound spiritual health.
"It is a way of kind of giving back to my country," said Dace (pronounced DOT-sa) from the suburb where she's staying. "I see it as a mission to teach (the students) about what hospital chaplaincy is." Art Lucas, a chaplain who is her supervisor at Barnes-Jewish, terms Skudina a triple threat: "Some are deeply called to direct care (in hospitals). Some are called to the field, and some are called to research. She's all three."
In other words, Skudina is likely to challenge her boss and colleagues with her many interests, which are prized in her profession. She might be gone from time to time, but she also can bring a lot of useful skills and knowledge back to her colleagues.
Skudina's lucky. In an unusual reaction to this kind of curious and restless employee, Lucas said recently, "I'm real proud of her!"
That's not always the case. Some supervisors regard employees who want to go on leave for education or public service or a much-needed change of pace as little short of a pain in the neck.
As for workers on family, military or sick leave, a supervisor has to find a substitute to fill the employee's slot while away. Or the supervisor might have to shift duties around, perhaps antagonizing colleagues who have to pick up the leave-taker's portion of the workload.
And when a supervisor has an employee as passionately committed as Skudina, 25, the supervisor has a serious issue on his hands: how to let her grow and develop intellectually while keeping her on the job for which he hired her.
"Someone's going to have to get a handle on this," said Gerald Parker, a professor of management at St. Louis University's John Cook School of Business.
With many younger employees expecting to satisfy various professional and personal goals during their careers, Parker said, managers must find ways to be more agreeable to letting their workers take leaves.
This balancing act is not easy. In fact, managers and employees might find themselves at odds because they seem to have opposing interests. The manager needs to keep workers on the job so the mission can be accomplished, but bosses who want to hang on to first-rate employees have to be flexible.
Yet some firms and companies - mostly in the service field - are discovering that periodic sabbaticals or leaves might help their best employees and leaders.
At Fleishman-Hillard, a global public-relations firm with headquarters in St. Louis, employees with four or more years of service can take a six-week sabbatical. Benefits, such as health insurance, continue throughout. The firm pays for two weeks, the employee uses two weeks of vacation and then takes two more weeks without pay. Or employees can take up to one year of unpaid leave and can pay their share of health insurance. They retain the benefit of lower rates from being in the company's pool.
"We were looking for ways to attract and retain employees," said Agnes Gioconda, Fleishman-Hillard's chief talent officer. "We find that it reduces employee burnout. They need new ideas for their clients. And it gives us cross-training and career development for others who are out (on leave)."
So far, about 12 "strong performers" - out of 2,400 employees worldwide - have taken leaves, Gioconda said.
But not all experiences prove positive. Many return to work charged up, excited by new ideas and the memory of places they have been or things they have done only to find that few people at the office care or show any interest. Some might even be hostile or jealous.
"The person who comes back can be frustrated," said Anna Navarro, a former Monsanto Co. official who took a leave 20 years ago that led to her founding Work Transitions, a career-strategy firm. "The risks are that they leave, or they just settle back into the same old place."
Leave-takers, career advisers and professors agree that pitfalls await those who leave the office, whether to earn a master's degree or to perform public service or to clear your head by climbing a mountain in the Himalayas.
While admitting that not a lot of strong empirical research exists, Jim Breaugh, a professor at the business school at the University of Missouri at St. Louis, said companies might penalize employees in their 30s who take leaves, regardless of the reason.
"A lot of organizations view the decade of the 30s as a proving ground," Breaugh said. "It's an opportunity to give you a lot of assignments, to rotate you through several positions. They are trying to assess your talents. You'll work incredibly long hours, and they expect you to relocate at the drop of a hat."
He added that managers in many organizations continue to hold outdated stereotypes of what they expect of men and women.
"When men take a leave of absence, they may have a fear of losing out in the men's club" at the office, Breaugh said. For women, who can be expected to take leaves when having babies, the expectations of being seen in the office are nearly as strong.
Michael K. Judiesch, a professor of management at Manhattan College in New York, studied the effect of leaves on employees of a large financial-services company with his co-author, Karen S. Lyness of the City University of New York.
"We found that people who took leaves were 18 percent less likely to be promoted, and they received about 8 percent less pay," Judiesch said. "We found that held true for all types of leaves."
For men, Judiesch said, the apparent stigma of appearing weak at the office is powerful: "I think many men who take time off when a child is born may take it as sick leave because they do not want to have family leave on their record."

JASPERS FALL TO FAIRFIELD IN MAAC QUARTERFINALS, 81-74
ALBANY, NY – Despite a game-high 21
points from sophomore All-MAAC First Team honoree Luis Flores (New York, NY),
the No. 3-seed Manhattan Jaspers fell to the No. 6-seed Fairfield Stags, 81-74,
in the quarterfinals of the HSBC/MAAC Tournament Saturday evening.
Manhattan drops to 20-8 overall,
while Fairfield, which won its last four games in a row, improves to 12-16
overall and advances to the semifinals of the MAAC Tournament to face the No.
7-seed Siena Saints.
Manhattan took the lead from the
opening tip and wouldn’t trail in the first half. Leading 30-23 with 5:52 to go
in the half, the Jaspers broke the game open with a 10-0 run as four different
players scored during the burst. Manhattan took its biggest lead of the game,
40-23, on a put-back by Jared Johnson (Bronx, NY) with 2:46 to go and led 44-31
at the half. Flores was a perfect 6-6 from the floor for 17 first-half points.
Manhattan shot 47.2% from the floor and outrebounded the Stags 23-17 in the
first 20 minutes.
Fairfield would not let the Jaspers
run away with it and inched their way back into the game in the opening minutes
of the second half. The Jaspers saw their double-digit lead dwindle to just
three at the 12:38 mark after Oscar Garcia picked off a steal, drew a foul and
hit both free throws to cut the deficit to 51-48. Fairfield would later tie the
game at 53-53 on a three-pointer by Jeremy Logan with just under 11 minutes to
play. Manhattan pushed the lead back to six on a pair of layups by Charus Moore
and Von Damien “Mugsy” Green (New York, NY) and a three-pointer by Flores,
making it 60-54 with 8:39 to play. Fairfield wouldn’t go away though and
rallied to tie the game a second time on another three-pointer by Logan.
Manhattan regained the lead on a put-back by Moore, but the lead was
short-lived as Fairfield was virtually perfect from the foul line for the
remainder of the game. With the score knotted at 65-65, Manhattan was unable to
convert on their end of the floor as Fairfield came up with blocks on three of
the next four Jasper possessions. From there, Manhattan connected on just two
field goals, both of which came in the final 10 seconds of the game, while the
Stags nailed 14-15 free throws to clinch the victory.
For the game, Fairfield hit 37-48
from the line, which included 30-34 in the second half alone. Manhattan, on the
other hand, went to the line only nine times in the second half, hitting 17-23
for the game.
Flores led four Jaspers in double
figures, as Holmes finished with 17 points and Green tallied 15 points and
seven assists. Johnson came off the bench to chip in 10 points and five
rebounds. Ajou Deng paced Fairfield with 17 points and four blocked shots.
With a 20-8 overall record, Manhattan
is hopeful for a post-season bid. Both the NCAA and the NIT announce their
selections on Sunday, March 10.

Rosalee Mason Leads All Scorers with 25 Points and 18 Rebounds
ALBANY, NY – The Manhattan College
women’s basketball lost a tight game to St. Peter’s College 54-50 in the
semifinals of the HSBC Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament on

St. Peter’s hit a three pointer and a driving lay up with 12 seconds on
the clock to cut the lead to five (25-20) at the half.
The Peahens surged out of the locker
room, opening up the half with a 12-2 run over a span of five minutes. Despite a solid effort, Manhattan would trail
by seven for most of the game until Donnette “Shorty” Reed (Syracuse, NY) hit
the second of two foul shots to cut the lead to five with just 1:17 on the
clock.
After a Manhattan timeout, St.
Peter’s Tyiana Sears missed a shot with just 43 seconds left to play. Eve Walters (Pittsford, NY) grabbed the
rebound and missed a three-pointer on the ensuing possession. Toyelle Wilson (Voorhees, NJ) grabbed the
offensive rebound and was fouled by Tanesha Seaton on the play. St. Peter’s called a timeout, and Wilson
missed the first of two shots. Wilson
made the second shot and Manhattan was forced to foul with just 25 seconds on
the clock. Sue Porter missed the front
end of the one-and-one and four different players scrambled for the ball. St. Peter’s came up with the ball and stalled
possession until Manhattan’s Christine Bach (Floral Park, NY) came up with a
steal. Bach missed a shot with just four
seconds on the clock and Seaton came up with the rebound to seal the victory
for St. Peter’s.

Jaspers by scores of 6-3, 5-4 and 8-6. Manhattan drops to 0-3 on the season,
while Delaware State improves to 7-8.
In the first game, the Jaspers

(Naugatuck, CT) to reach to start the game. Diaz then stole second and would
advance to third on a groundout by Matt Cucurullo (Valhalla, NY). Hitting in
the third slot, catcher Josh Greco (Kensington, CT) grounded to second,
allowing Diaz to score to give the Jaspers the early 1-0 lead. But, in the
bottom of the first, the Hornets responded with a three-run inning and went on
to take the first game, 6-3. Playing in his first game in a Jasper uniform,
third baseman Sylvester Gutierrez (Fresh Meadow, NY) went 2-for-2 and scored a
run. Ryan Darcy (Levittown, NY) took the loss for the Jaspers, going five innings
while giving up six runs on seven hits with three strikeouts.
In the second game of the twinbill,
the Jaspers loaded the bases in the first inning but failed to plate a run.
Then in the top of the third, Cucurullo and Greco hit back-to-back homers to
put the Jaspers up 2-0. Delaware State got one back in the bottom of the fourth
on a RBI double by Linares. After a scoreless top of the fifth, the Hornets
scored twice in their half of the inning to assume a 3-2 lead. Wendell Anderson
(East Hartford, CT) then led off the top of the sixth with his first homerun of
the season to tie the game up at 3-3. In the top of the seventh, with two on a
two out, Anderson lined a basehit to left, allowing Cucurullo to score. Greco
was thrown out at the plate trying to score from second to end the inning, as
the Jaspers clung to a 4-3 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh.
Ian Quinn (Catskill, NY) came in to
try and close things out for the Jaspers. After getting the first batter
Sullinger to fly out to left, Quinn gave up a solo homerun to Underwood tie the
game at 4-4. King then singled to center and advanced to second on a fielding
error by Cucurullo. Quinn then walked August intentionally. Word pinch-hit for
Babcock and also walked, which loaded the bases for Delaware State with only
one out. Linares, the ninth-place hitter in the order, won the game for
Delaware State with a basehit to center. Anderson went 3-for-4 with two RBI
while Cucurullo went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored. Ken Gleason (Glendale,
NY) went 4 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on five hits with three
strikeouts. Quinn took the loss for the Jaspers.
In the final game of the series on
Sunday, the Jaspers jumped out to another early lead. In the top half of the
second inning, Zach Sousa (Waterford, CT) lined a bases-loaded single to left,
scoring Anderson. Then with the bases still loaded, Sal Candela (Brooklyn, NY)
grounded into a double play, but pushed across a run as Cucurullo scored from
third to make it 2-0 Manhattan. The Jaspers added another run in the top of the
fourth as Gaskin was hit by a pitch and advanced to second on a wild pitch.
Sousa flied out to center to advance Gaskin to third. Candela then grounded out
to short, but Gaskin came around to score to make it 3-0 Manhattan.
After being shut out over the first
three innings of the ball game, the Hornets erupted for four runs on five hits
in the bottom of the fourth to take a 4-3 lead. But the Jaspers responded as
Diaz started off the fifth with a basehit to leftfield. Gutierrez drew a walk,
and after Greco popped up to first, Anderson also walked to load the bases for
Cucurullo. Cucurullo skied a sacrifice fly to right, which scored Diaz. A
throwing error by the rightfielder allowed Gutierrez to score from second to put
the Jaspers back on top 5-4. In the bottom of the fifth, a throwing error by
Diaz allowed the Hornets to tie the game back up at 5-5.
After a scoreless sixth, Greco
reached on an error by the shortstop to start the seventh. Anderson then
singled, and Cucurullo reached on a fielder’s choice as the Hornets forced
Anderson at second. Greco was running on the play and came around to score,
eluding an errant throw by the shortstop to regain the lead for the Jaspers. In
the bottom half of the seventh, the Hornets tied it up once again on an RBI
single by Lineras. After the Jaspers failed to score in the top of the eighth,
Delaware State’s Martin and King cracked solo homeruns to give the Hornets an
8-6 lead. Manhattan would not score in the top half of the ninth and the
Hornets hung on for the three-game sweep. Diaz went 2-for-4 and scored a run,
as the Jaspers only managed five hits in the game put capitalized on six
Delaware State errors. Michael Parisi (Lake Grove, NY) took the loss for
Manhattan. He worked 4 1/3 innings and allowed four runs on six hits while

<<BEGIN MY COMMENT>>
Name: John Reinke
Date: Jan, 03 2002
I find it most interesting, that when
the politicians are against something done by other politicians, then they trot
out "free market" arguments. That's what the deficit discussion is
all about. A government "business" running a deficit never goes out
of business; they just return to the taxpayer and extract more money. Who are
these politicians kidding? If they were in favor of the project, then the
deficit be darned and the taxpayers would just pony up more money. See when you
get right down to it there are many "businesses" that the government
should not be in. Transportation is just one of them. The only reason we are
hearing about the NJ Transit deficits is that it makes a convenient argument.
I, like most Libertarians, believe that this argument should be made more often
and much more forcefully. I hope that citizens of the Jamesburg, South
Brunswick, and Monroe bring these statements up the next time these politicians
propose "going into businesses" that the government should not be in.
It's really idiocy when we let the government go into "business" at
all. On April 15th, remember all this "business" and vote for
liberty.
<<END MY COMMENT>>
And, that’s the last words for this
week.
