| BERARDINO: Solid early returns
When the 2007 schedule was put together last summer, Major League Baseball and its computers had no idea Bruce Bochy was going to change jobs.
Still, it had to be with considerable emotion that Bochy led his new team, the San Francisco Giants, into last week's season-opening series against the team he managed for the past dozen years, the San Diego Padres.
The only way things could have been tougher for Bochy was if the series had been played in San Diego instead of by McCovey Cove. That challenge comes this week as the Giants head south for a three-game series that begins Monday.
"It's amazing the control of this game the baseball gods have," said new Giants center fielder Dave Roberts, one of several ex-Padres who followed Bochy up the coast.
Religion Notes for April 7, 2007
Christ Church, Episcopal, in Prairieville has a new minister, a full-time public schoolteacher recently ordained in the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana. The Rev. Jerry Phillips, while serving as interim priest-in-charge at Christ Church, will continue to teach British literature and special projects at Destrehan High School in St. Charles Parish. He formerly taught in Ascension Parish public schools. The bi-vocational approach matches Bishop Charles Jenkins’ vision for supplying smaller congregations in the River Parishes, according to the church. Christ Church, a restart of the former St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church of Gonzales, began as a "mobile" assembly meeting at Tinseltown Cinema in Baton Rouge. However, the church now meets at 10 a.m.
Springing into the final days of the school year

A study of the relative economics of different approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions offers surprising insights for policy makers and business leaders. For starters, in a 25-year perspective, power generation and manufacturing industry offer less than half of the potential for reducing emissions. Almost a quarter of possible emission reductions would result from measures (such as better insulation in buildings) that carry no net life cycle cost—in effect, they come free of charge. The study finds that a substantial share of the overall opportunities, including a large potential to reduce emissions by protecting and replanting forests, lies in developing economies. .
