Julia Child has had an extraordinary impact on American culture. One only need note the rise of the Food Network, the spread of celebrity chefs, the ubiquity of wine at restaurants, and the overwhelming trend of foodie-ism to gauge the depth of her influence. She was a groundbreaker, too, as a successful career-woman and a popular television personality among men and women alike, when being a housewife was the norm for women of her class.
Bob Spitz, author of the bestselling "The Beatles," has compiled a comprehensive and compelling biography in Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child, that also functions effectively as a history of 20th-century American culture on topics ranging from the evolution of the O.S.S. to the quirks of public television. At 530 pages, it's not for the faint of heart, but it's sure to satisfy those with appetites whetted by the memoir turned film, "Julie and Julia," who crave more of Child's early life and later success.
Julia McWilliams' youth was remarkable only for her outsized personality and utter lack of interest in cooking. Born to a wealthy Republican Pasadena family, she was raised to be a demure debutante. The only signs of future celebrity lay in her role as adventurer, instigator, and rule-breaker, whether by claiming leads in schoolyard skits, smoking, or being rescued from the chimney of a vacant house she'd broken into. She wasn't much of a student at prep school or at Smith College, in Northampton, Mass., where socializing fueled her more.
She was rescued from a decade of empty social engagements by the war. At 30, she moved to Washington, D.C., where she landed a job, first as a typist in the Office of War Information, and then at the O.S.S. It was this move that led to her travels in South Asia where she met Paul Childs, perhaps the greatest influence in her personal and professional development. Ten years her senior, Paul was instrumental to Julia's exposure to other cultures and burgeoning interest in food. Paul was also difficult in ways, as an artist with a thwarted career, stuck in a series of unrewarding governmental jobs. Their marriage makes for a moving read, in particular the balance Julia struck between her devotion to him and the practical choices she made to move forward with her career once Paul's health deteriorated later in life.
That career began with a desire to improve her cooking and was spurred on by the fascination and awe she felt for French cuisine. Culinary curiosity led to lessons at Le Cordon Bleu, inspiring experimentation in her tiny Parisian kitchen to a degree that brings innovators like Bill Gates to mind. In fact, Child could easily be a case-study in Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers," as a woman who achieved immense success, in part due to circumstance, but most strikingly, because of the time she devoted to her craft. Spitz emphasizes that "[h]our upon hour was devoted to cooking, analyzing, tasting, recalibrating, cooking again and again and again and again," to perfect the recipes that would comprise her chef d'oeuvre, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking."
Her childlessness, part chance and part choice – here, Spitz's account is uncharacteristically spare – left Julia free to pursue cooking and authorship at full tilt. (See Anne-Marie Slaughter's recent controversial, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All" for possible correlations between ultra-successful career-women and opting out of motherhood.) Her television career was sparked by an appearance on WGBH, where she was a natural, charming the audience with her down-to-earth sensibility while entertaining them with her quirky humor, qualities that endured throughout her long and storied career. Here, too, hours of practice off-screen and support from now-retired Paul were as key to her success as was her unique sense of play.
Her timing was good, too. The experimentation and translation of recipes in the 1950's led to the launch of her series "The French Chef" in the early 1960's, just as JKF introduced a new era of chic by hiring an actual French chef for the White House. (Imagine the fallout were the Obamas to pull this "elitist" move today!)
Mainly, though, Julia Child's life makes for a fascinating read less for its circumstances than for her complexity and strength of character: After a decade in Europe, she became an American icon, embodying domesticity, yet promoting women's rights through Planned Parenthood, as well as in restaurant kitchens, and working tirelessly out of love of her art until her death in 2004. What better way to celebrate her centenary!

Three SUNY Canton Staff Members Receive College Awards for Exceptional ServiceThursday, May 22nd, 2014
A recent retiree was the surprise recipient of SUNY Canton Acting President Joseph C. Hoffman's Meritorious Service Award.
Sandy J. Livernois, the former assistant to the provost, received her award at the College's annual recognition day ceremony, designed to acknowledge the College's faculty and staff for exemplary service and milestone anniversaries.
"No one on the campus was left untouched by the generous, dedicated service that Sandy selflessly gave to the College," Hoffman said. "She has been the epitome of professionalism and kindness, not to mention fun, in all of the capacities that she has served."
Livernois worked at the College for 34 years. She previously won the Employee Recognition Award in 2003.
Additionally, Heather C. Lauzon, a secretary in the Accommodative and Disability Services Office received the Employee Recognition Award, and Peggy S. Levato, director of alumni and development, received the Excellence in College Service Award. Both awards are bestowed annually by the SUNY Canton College Council to recognize professional staff for their outstanding work.
Depending on individual needs, some students need to take their tests outside of the classroom. Lauzon schedules more than 1,000 exams each semester. She works with faculty and staff members to coordinate special accommodations to help level the playing field for students with disabilities. Her co-employees and supervisor said she exhibits grace and professionalism and goes above and beyond her assigned duties.
"Heather possesses a superior work ethic," said Veigh Mehan Lee, director of Accommodative and Disability Services and Lauzon's supervisor. "She keeps the office operating in an organized manner."
As one of the college's premier fundraisers, Levato developed a relationship that led to the first $1 million donation in the College's history. She also assisted with the College's Centennial campaign, which exceeded its $10 million goal a year early. She substantially increased alumni participation in donations and attendance at college events. The donations she works to secure benefits the entire college, primarily in the form of student scholarships.
"Peggy has been a phenomenal fundraiser and energetic supporter of SUNY Canton," said David M. Gerlach, vice president for advancement. "She has played a significant role in transforming many alumni relationships. Beyond being a representative of the College, she is a friend to our many esteemed alumni."
The College prepares video interviews with the award recipients that are played as an introduction at the recognition day ceremony.

How are women's pumps supposed to fit?
Pumps that don't fit right can cause discomfort all day long. When your day calls for your utmost attention, whether that's work or play, the last thing you need is uncomfortable footwear bringing you down. To find pumps that fit just right, it's important to know your exact size. If you haven't gotten your feet measured in a while, now's the time. This can help you find the exact size you need and even help you determine a range of sizes for different style shoes.
Shopping for pumps online can be a little tricky, but we've developed a helpful guide that will ensure you get the perfect fit. Once you've found a pair of pumps that you want to bring home, take a look at the product description below the images. In the description, we have noted a few sizing notes, from fit to heel height to width. These notes combined with your sizing information will help you find the perfect pair of pumps every time.
How high should a women's pumps be?
Pumps are a statement piece. There's no right or wrong height for pumps, it's all about how they make you feel. When you slip on a pair of pointed toe pumps that fit perfectly, a rush of confidence takes over your senses. In the right pair of pumps, there's nothing you can't do.

At Sole Society, we have women's pumps in suede and leather, two of the most popular fabrics for shoes. With suede and haircalf pumps, use a suede brush to keep the fibers soft and clean. Leather pumps should be treated with a leather conditioner and water-resistant spray to prevent them from cracking or being damaged by typical weather conditions. These simple care tips will help extend the life of your beautiful new pumps.
What can you wear pumps with?
Pumps are for more than just the office. When you're ready to get out of the office and hit happy hour, a good pair of pumps can keep you going all night long. Try a pair of patent leather nude pumps with destroyed boyfriend jeans for an effortless street style look. If you're more of a morning person, try a pair of natural pumps with a feminine floral skater dress to be the envy of your brunch group. Whatever you decide to wear with your pumps, make sure you pair your look with immense confidence. In a pair of pumps, you can steal all of the attention in the room.

JERSEY CITY, NJ April 25, 2012 – In the realm of 'you can't make this up', Union City-native Jon D'Amore has written a novel depicting the true story of mob influence in Las Vegas, "funneling millions of dollars out of Las Vegas and saving the New Jersey Don from 40 years in prison. "The Boss Always Sits in the Back" is a humorous, suspenseful retelling of actual events that led to the demise of the mob in New Jersey."
A natural storyteller, Jon D'Amore started writing when he was 10 years old, and began the guitar lessons that launched his musical career. Both writing and music were his main career focuses, except for that youthful dalliance, at the encouragement of his Godfather, Jerry D'Amore. "Jon's life took a turn after Jerry invited Jon to Las Vegas for his 22nd birthday, where he unsuspectingly, then willingly, became part of a scam that has never been revealed before, yet changed the laws of casino gambling forever…but not before it funneled millions into the New Jersey underworld. / As an insider with no mob ambitions, Jon became a trusted ear and learned of the life and death manipulations that made friends and relatives from his world disappear. When the smoke cleared, Jon was one of the few left standing. The others were either dead or in prison."
In respect to this fellow, very engaging writer, all quoted passages are from Jon D'Amore, himself.
Author Jon D'Amore will present his book, "The Boss Always Sits in the Back," at the Five Corners Branch Library, 678 Newark Avenue in Jersey City, on Monday evening, May 21st at 6 p.m. It's free!
For the latest on programs, events, and special announcements please follow the Library on Facebook or Twitter at Jersey City Free Public Library. Visit us on the web at www.jclibrary.org. As of today, April 24, 2012, the Jersey City Free Public Library has 212,365 valid card members.

That's a question on a gossip quiz:
Who said the following:
"Breakfast, lunch, and f-cking dinner right here!"
If you don't know, you haven't been doing your gossip homework.
Colin Farrell, of course.
He's promoting Saving Mr Banks and discussed it during an Irish television interview the other day. But first…the subject came up because he was addressing Fifty Shades Of Grey rumours. Look at his reaction, his first expression, to the movie. What are you reading there? Because I'm reading, "God I'd rather do another Total Recall than be involved in that piece of sh-t".
Also, watch this sexy motherf-cker flirt from his position on stage with the audience member in the stands. I am TELLING you.
But then again, I really don't have to. Not if you've seen it. Have you seen it? He's said, several times, that he spent a lot of money making sure that you don't see it. And he confirms the amount here -- $5 million to keep it off pay-per-view. So that his ma wouldn't check into a hotel room somewhere with the option of watching him f-ck (unless she knows how to find it on the internet, which isn't hard). As always, Colin is very engaging and that makes him very attractive, probably attractive enough for Duana to blush while she's watching it. Colin Farrell has always been her jam. Also Enrico Colantoni. (I know!!!)
Here's video of Colin's appearance. And below that, have you ever seen the staged reading (by Shakespeare trained actors) of Colin's sex tape?

(Pocket-lint) - The Coolpix S640 provides a simple to use, high-resolution snapper for the masses with focusing and start-up performance as claimed benefits, among other cool features.
It is a slim, stylish-looking compact digital camera from Nikon that has a high-resolution 12.3-megapixel sensor and a quartet of image stabilisation tools to help keep everything nice and steady in low light or at longer focal lengths of the camera's excellent 5x zoom lens, which provides a good focal range from 28 to 140mm with a fast maximum aperture of F/2.8.
The quartet of stabilising features includes lens shift (optical) Vibration Reduction (VR), whilst a top sensitivity setting of ISO 6400 allows for faster shutter speeds in low light, say, or helps prevent subject blur for faster moving subjects. Motion detection mode automatically adjusts ISO and shutter speed for you, to help deal with subject movement and camera shake, removing that headache from your snapping equation. Finally, Nikon's BSS (Best Shot Selector) automatically shoots a series of images in sequence saving the frame that's sharpest.
Now, all that is great, but at higher ISOs particularly above ISO 1600, image noise, as you might expect, becomes a serious issue. Yes it allows you to get the shot, but is it usable at ISO 6400? If it lacks detail, clarity or colour fidelity it isn't.
However, ISO 1600 is actually very good in this regard, well at least for compacts such as this, so that's a bonus in terms of images shot at that setting. Below ISO 800 and things are much improved and you can limit the ISO range used (in auto settings) between ISO 100 to 400 and ISO 100 to 800, which helps mitigate noise in all-auto shooting modes, while the auto ISO range spreads things further still, ranging as it does between ISO 100 and 1600.
Handling is very nice for such a slim camera, particularly with the 5x zoom lens which is a real cracker; sharp, fast (both in terms aperture and its speed when zooming in and out) and covers a great focal range making it a very accomplished piece of glass.
Controls are simple, there's a zoom control surrounding the shutter release on the top, alongside the on/off button. The camera starts quickly, as Nikon claims, but if you want to access a menu to make an alteration, you still have to wait around 2 and a half seconds for the systems to "boot" up before menus become active.
On the back plate, a single button accesses the shooting modes: auto (program) and 17 scene modes that cover all the usual suspects, including panorama assist and close up and backlit option among others.
A neat Smart Portrait mode (this is over and above the Scene mode's Portrait setting) uses face detection technology alongside a special algorithm to help produce enhanced skin tones and smoothness in a shot as well as being able to recognise up to 12 faces in your photos. The Face priority AF also helps as it targets the metering and focusing points to create better people pictures.
Throw in the uncanny Smile Timer, where you can select a key subject and when they smile the camera fires and it's eerie how well that works. The Blink Proof function does not prevent everyone in front of the camera from blinking, oh no, it fires two frames in quick succession and keeps the image where everyone's eyes are open. Both are very handy features, and fun to use or try to foil!
Playback, menus and delete are all on the back plate on satellite buttons around the jog/dial selector and "OK" button used to navigate menus, options, images and select the option of choice.
The 2.7-inch colour screen is very nice to use, which it has to be as there's no optical viewfinder, it has an anti-reflective coating; it's water repellent and has a brightness boost too, for shooting in very bright conditions, but in direct sunlight it still becomes a challenge to use without shading.
The focusing performance is something Nikon has made big strides forward on in this camera; general subjects can be locked onto very fast indeed and this is great for reducing the lag between pressing the shutter button and getting an image. However, the AF fails to lock onto low contrast subjects and this happened too often for our liking.
Subject tracking, which locks onto a person's face and keeps it in focus helps keep fast moving people pictures sharply rendered and it's great for shooting your children at a party, say, even in low light when the faster ISO settings can be utilised if needed. One thing worth mentioning is the flash, which is tiny and underpowered for almost everything, higher ISOs push the performance a bit further but expect an effective flash range of only around 3 to 5 feet at ISO 100 to 400.
Images are stored on SD/SDHC storage but you get 45MBs of internal storage to tinker with as well, which is nice and dual movie modes for TV (640 x 480-pixels) or web use (320 x 240-pixels) if you're into your YouTube.
Overall, the S640 is very encouraging in terms of image quality. The combination of good lens, optical VR and low ISO image quality combine well here to produce great images. Colour and white balance (WB) are very good though the auto WB settings suffer from (the usual) slight orange colour cast under mixed lighting conditions.
The detail captured is quite superb below ISO 400, good at ISO 800 and okay at ISO 1600. Above this setting the detail is compromised by noise reduction processing and the sheer volume of image noise makes images rather murky. Metering is good for general scenes but as expected, the snowy shots have slight under exposure, so selecting the Snow scene mode helped out here.
The Nikon Coolpix S640 is everything the recently tested S570 is not, particularly in terms of speed. However, its price may raise some eyebrows. But when you bear in mind the clever automated features and technology that are ensconced within the S640's svelte frame, and then perhaps the price is a little more understandable.
High ISO image noise is perhaps the perennial problem here, but at least you can mitigate its vagaries by limiting the highest ISO range used and the fact the noise does not intrude until higher up the sensitivity scale.
The speediness of the S640 is nice to have but it's not as fast as Nikon make out when you factor in the slow menu usage, the fact the AF is not always on target and the slow write speeds of those large 12.2-megapixel files.

Minimizing the Most Common Side Effects to Quitting Chewing
Blood sugar plummets in many people when first quitting. The most common side effects felt during the first three days can often be traced back to blood sugar issues. Symptoms such as headache, inability to concentrate, dizziness, time perception distortions, and the ubiquitous sweet tooth encountered by many, are often associated with this blood sugar drop. The symptoms of low blood sugar are basically the same symptoms as not having enough oxygen, similar to reactions experienced at high altitudes. The reason being the inadequate supply of sugar and/or oxygen means the brain is getting an incomplete fuel. If you have plenty of one and not enough of the other, your brain cannot function at any form of optimal level. When you quit chewing, oxygen levels are often better than they have been in years, but with a limited supply of sugar it can't properly fuel your brain.
It is not that chewing tobacco put sugar into your blood stream; it is more of a drug interaction of the stimulant effect of nicotine that affects the blood sugar levels. Chewing tobacco cause the body to release its own stores of sugar and fat by a drug type of interaction. That is how it basically operated as an appetite suppressant, affecting the satiety centers of your hypothalamus. As far as for the sugar levels, nicotine in fact works much more efficiently than food. If you use food to elevate blood sugar levels, it literally takes up to 20 minutes from the time you chew and swallow the food before it is released to the blood, and thus the brain, for its desired effect of fueling your brain. Chewing tobacco, by working through a drug interaction cause the body to release its own stores of sugar, but not in 20 minutes but usually in a matter of seconds. In a sense, your body has not had to release sugar on its own in years, you have done it by using nicotine's drug effect!
This is why many people really gorge themselves on food upon cessation. They start to experience a drop in blood sugar and instinctively reach for something sweet. Upon finishing the food, they still feel symptomatic. Of course they do, it takes them a minute or two to eat, but the blood sugar isn't boosted for another 18 minutes. Since they are not feeling immediately better, they eat a little more. They continue to consume more and more food, minute after minute until they finally they start to feel better. Again if they are waiting for the blood sugar to go up we are talking about 20 minutes after the first swallow. People can eat a lot of food in 20 minutes. But they begin to believe that this was the amount needed before feeling better. This can be repeated numerous times throughout the day thus causing a lot of calories being consumed and causing weight gain to become a real risk.
When you abruptly quit dipping, the body is in kind of a state of loss, not knowing how to work normally since it has not worked normally in such a long time. Usually by the third day, though, your body will readjust and release sugar as it is needed. Without eating any more your body will just figure out how to regulate blood sugar more efficiently.
You may find though that you do have to change dietary patterns to one that is more normal for you. Normal is not what it was as a dipper, but more what it was before you took up chewing with aging thrown in. Some people go until evening without eating while they are chewers. If they try the same routine as ex-chewers they will suffer side effects of low blood sugar. It is not that there is something wrong with them now, they were abnormal before for all practical purposes. This doesn't mean they should eat more food, but it may mean they need to redistribute the food eaten to a more spread out pattern so they are getting blood sugar doses throughout the day as nature really had always intended.
To minimize some of the real low blood sugar effects of the first few days it really can help to keep drinking juice throughout the day. After the fourth day though, this should no longer be necessary as your body should be able to release sugar stores if your diet is normalized. If you are having problems that are indicative of blood sugar issues beyond day three, it wouldn't hurt talking to your doctor and maybe getting some nutritional counseling.

September is always teeming with gifts to give: another cousin headed off to college, a friend to thank for watering my cactus while I've been away, a birthday to celebrate in a family strangely full of autumn birthdays. I always want to give each and every one of these people a thoughtful handmade token, but with so many gifts to make, time is certainly of the essence!
So with efficiency in mind, I used Leese Design's iPhone Cases to stitch up this classic pair of Needlepoint iPhone Cases. They make the perfect last minute gift that college-bound cousins and little brothers will love just as much as that cactus-caretaking friend!
The Herringbone Corduroy Case is a real shape shifter. I can easily picture everyone from my dad to my best friend to my niece loving the tonal grays and classic pattern that lend this case a bit of sophistication without ruining the fun.
And this yellow Scotch Stitch Case is sure to brighten the pocket (and the day!) of anyone who receives it. Its bright colors and graphic simplicity give this case a cheeky boldness and a sunny disposition, just right for a birthday!
Last fall I made these bright and cheery Cross-Stitched iPhone Cases. I still love the cross-stitched cases, but stitching them up is a real time commitment! The new cases, with their larger needlepoint stitches, can be finished in a just day or two, making my September a whole lot easier! -Erin
- 2 Leese Designs iPhone Cases
- For the Herringbone Case: 2 skeins of DMC Embroidery Floss, colors #451 and #453.
- For the Scotch Stitch Case: 2 skeins of DMC Embroidery Floss, colors #444 and #445.
- 1 pack John James Tapestry Needles for Cross Stitch, size 26
For good solid coverage, I used all 6 plies of the DMC floss.
A detailed tutorial for the Herringbone Corduroy Stitch can be found here, and for the Scotch Stitch, here.
Also, for the ambitious stitchers out there, Laura's Fancy Needlepoint Stitch from the New Year's Eve Clutch would also make a beautiful iPhone case.

GE Coordinator Responsibilities
Becoming the GE Coordinator of a course at SJSU is a significant responsibility. It entails an ongoing commitment to understanding the needs and abilities of our student learners, a thorough knowledge of the culture and workings of the home department, and a resolve to maintain the high standards of the university. Many problems that arise in the current processes of course certification and continuing certification can often be avoided by some simple steps on the part of the course coordinator to ensure collection and communication of appropriate data and the introduction of all faculty new to teaching GE to the pertinent GE requirements and learning objectives.
Assuming the Role:
When a faculty member takes on the role of GE Coordinator for a particular course, she or he should do the following:
- Contact the Undergraduate Studies Office (924-2447) to notify them so that you will be added to the mailing list to receive the most up-to-date information about GE certification and assessment.
- Meet with the outgoing GE Coordinator and get a sense of the institutional history of the course, as well as a list of all current teaching faculty and a copy of the most recent course certification/recertification document, including any letter from the Chair of the Board of General Studies authorizing the course for a specified period of years (and often including specific topics to speak to in the next review).
- If the former GE Coordinator is unavailable, the new Coordinator should request a copy of the file from the home department, and if no file is available there, from Undergraduate Studies. The new Coordinator should set up a meeting with the Director of Assessment to go over these materials together and have any questions answered.
- The new Coordinator should alert all faculty teaching the course to submit all appropriate data (such as current syllabi or end-of-the-semester individual teacher assessment summaries) to her or his office, and start an appropriate file for those materials.
- The new Coordinator should be thoroughly aware of SJSU's General Education Program Guidelines (pdf) (Fall 2014)
- Most specifically, of course, the new Coordinator should be very familiar with the learning objectives, goals, and requirements for the course's specific GE area. It is recommended that some hard copies of the particular area requirements be kept with the assessment report for easy reference and sharing with teaching faculty should they come for a consultation or specific question.
Ongoing Semesterly Activities
- Check with your chair, and should any new faculty be assigned to teach your GE course, make sure they understand the Area objectives, goals, and requirements. Share with them any rubrics, formative assessments, or teaching strategies that have been designed to be used across all sections of the course; point them toward assignments or activities that have been noted for meeting your GE learning objectives quite successfully in the past; explain to them the importance of such required components as active learning, diversity, library research, or the amount of specified writing in the course.
- Every semester, have faculty submit the current syllabus in use for each section. Review these, taking note of any innovations or modifications to later assess for outcomes effectiveness, as well as any discrepancies or anomalies that need to be addressed through your stewardship.
- Make sure that all faculty teaching the course submit the appropriate assessment summary materials to your office. You will need these materials to prepare your coordinator summary report. For models of different types of individual faculty assessment summaries used at SJSU, see http://www.sjsu.edu/gup/ugs/faculty/programs/assessment/ge/Schedules/
- Assessment schedule and report form templates are posted here: http://www.sjsu.edu/gup/ugs/faculty/programs/assessment/ge/index.html
- If you feel that your current method of procuring this information from your faculty is not as effective as it could be, you might schedule a meeting with the Director of Assessment to consider developing and implementing the use of a form based on one of the templates on this web page, or perhaps even devising a new template. NOTE: individual faculty semester reports are not required, but will often help the coordinator in writing a sincere and thorough overview.
- In the semester designated, when it is time for continuing certification of the course, be sure to have the coordinator summary report completed and submitted to Undergraduate Studies by the due date. Always keep a back-up copy for your files, and remember, in many colleges, this report must make its way through department and college committees which have their own deadline schedules. The successful course coordinator aligns these varied due dates to make sure submission of enough copies of the report to any appropriate committee occurs in a timely fashion, and that the required number of copies of the report are submitted (prior to the due date) to Undergraduate Studies.
- Remember that assessment is only useful if we act upon the results: GE Coordinators should maintain an ongoing conversation among all faculty teaching their particular course, dedicated to improving or modifying the way the course is taught, over time, specifically when such changes point toward a more effective way of achieving the goals, meeting the objectives, and completing the requirements for that GE area.
Passing the Baton
When for various reasons a faculty member steps down or takes a leave of absence from a GE course coordinator position, she or he has the responsibility to pass on a few things to the replacement. These include, ideally, an organized data file, a sense of the institutional history of the course, and general tips for successful course maintenance (its relationship to the department dynamic, any unresolved weaknesses revealed in recent assessments, any proposed modifications, suggestions on ways of enhancing faculty participation, etc.)
If, for reasons beyond the department's control, a GE Course Coordinator position is vacated and the former coordinator is unavailable to help the new coordinator step into the role, the Faculty-in-Residence for General Education should be invited to meet with the new coordinator and help the coordinator, course, and department through this transition.

Fire Leadership Training to Be Held Thursday at Missoula County Development Park [AUDIO]
The Northern Rockies Training Center will be hosting a Fireline Leadership course on Thursday, November 7 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Missoula County Development Park.
Office of Emergency Management Director Chris Lounsbury said on Tuesday, November 5, that the training will be for wildland firefighting personnel at all management levels.
"They're going to be out, in and around the buildings going through different scenarios as they walk through the area," Lounsbury said. "They'll be primarily using the sidewalks to give the trainees different challenges in those leadership roles between planning and logistics, incident command and those types of things."
Lounsbury said that the training techniques will vary across a wide spectrum during Thursday's exercise.
"You've heard of those leadership seminars that ask you to take a doughnut and a pencil and make a compass," Lounsbury said. "There will also be questions of how to deal with a wildland fire that was heading downhill into a certain area. It's a variety of different things that range from making you laugh a little bit, to the very complex."
Lounsbury said the reason for the publicity regarding the training exercise is that the public will see fire trucks and personnel in full firefighting gear using deployment shelters, and others dressed in the wildland yellow and green, and to not be alarmed and call 9-1-1.

Incoming Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, is expected to deliver the following remarks in Tallahassee today. Fellow lawmakers this morning elected him president of the Florida Senate.
Governor Scott, Lt. Governor Carroll, Mr. President, Mr. Chief Justice, fellow Senators and fellow citizens.
Thank you, Senator Detert and Senator Montford, for your generous remarks and your nomination. Thank you to my fellow senators for your trust, a trust I know must be earned and re-earned in the days and years ahead.
Yesterday I joined his family and friends and Senate colleagues in celebrating Senator Chris Smith as the new Minority Leader of the Senate. I want Senator Smith to know that I have worked extra hard for two years to ensure that he would be the Minority Leader so this is a good day for both of us.
I ask the Senate to join me in congratulating my friend and our Minority Leader, the Honorable Chris Smith.
If I have had any success in business or politics or marriage it's been because I chose partners better than me. The Senate has made sure of that for the next two years. Thank you for approving my selection of Senator Garrett Richter as President Pro Tempore.
Look across this floor today. Family is all important. Family is the heart of my life. A few years ago, I was in the middle of a tough, bitter, nasty campaign and I knew that the next morning my opponent would hit me hard, really hard, in the newspaper. So I gathered our family around the kitchen table to prepare them, to apologize for dragging them into politics, trying to reassure them. I said, "I promise. I'll carry you through this."
My daughter, Erin, hugged me and said, "Daddy, don't you know. We've been carrying you."
Erin and Matt, thank you for always carrying me.
And Vicky, you're really going to like Vicky. She is the rock of our family and the love of my life. The First Lady of the Senate, Vicky Gaetz.
Today forty of us, forty chosen by 19 million begin a rite of passage as old as Florida. Today we take up the ancient duty of citizen legislators – to be the living tissue that connects the folks back home with a government of their own making and of their own choosing.
Lifted up by our communities, surrounded by our families today we celebrate the peaceful transfer of the people's power.
From the prayer by Senator Galvano's father-in-law to the thrilling performance of our National Anthem by Senator Legg's daughter to the sweet inspiration of Senator Thompson's granddaughters to the Pledge of Allegiance led by all the Senate children, the stars of the show today are our fifteen new senators and their families. Nearly 40 percent of the Senate has come fresh from the grassroots of Florida. They are the grassroots of Florida.
Diana and Garrett, Desorae and Chris and Vicky and I – all of us – welcome you, each of you, to your new extended family – the Senate family.
We came today as forty different people – a nurse, a strawberry grower, a dentist, four educators, a printer, a banker, a dad with a three month old daughter, a mom whose daughter was just wounded in combat halfway across the world, a singer-songwriter, an auctioneer with a putt putt golf course, a guy who spent part of the summer figuring out how to get Turkish olive oil to Miami, a farmer with a million chickens and he's named each one of them. There's the usual posse of lawyers and the rest of us.
Forty lives fully lived, each distinct, each different.
But by the oaths we swore today we became Senators. In spite of differences, in spite of ourselves, starting now we share one identity – the Senate.
There is a reason the Senate is collegial. There are only forty of us. Sometimes on a Senate committee there are only five of us.
The bill some lobbyist has asked you to kill this morning is sponsored by a senator chairing the committee hearing your bill this afternoon. We are lashed together like two people in a three-legged race. I cannot pass my priority until I earn your support and you cannot advance your cause unless I help you.
I have learned, sometimes the hard way, that in the Senate your colleagues can't make you but they can surely break you.
But the Senate is about more than mutual need. In these committee rooms and on this floor and during these years you will come to cherish your friends and admire your opponents. And you may find that those you thought were your opponents become your friends. I know I have.
Of course there will be partisanship. In case anyone missed it, we just had an election. Elections can be tough. Primaries can be tougher. They're supposed to be. It's in the hot, fierce clash of campaigns that political results are forged.
But the difference between Tallahassee and Washington is that here, unlike there, the campaign is over. Here, unlike there, we will actually produce a budget, we will face uncomfortable facts and make hard choices instead of borrowing a first class ticket to ride a runaway train toward a fiscal cliff.
You want to know who lost the 2012 election. Congress. Congress, both parties, has an approval rating of 11 percent. Muammar Gaddafi had an approval rating of 14 percent and his people killed him.
The floor in this chamber is not divided by a partisan aisle that freezes us into gridlock on separate sides of every issue. This isn't Washington and we're not going to operate like Washington.
Today is not the day for detailing every priority or plan. That day will come as our committees sift through and refine the proposals each of us will make in the next two months. But perhaps today is a time to share how we will go about the people's business.
I cannot go home to Niceville with the excuse that I did nothing about job growth and blame the Democrats.
If my neighbors' children come home from college or university with $30,000 in debt and a degree that doesn't qualify them for a real job, I won't get by pointing fingers at the Governor.
In my medium-sized north Florida county, a commissioner was just removed for official misconduct, the TDC director committed suicide after he stole bed tax and BP money, the Speaker of the House was forced to resign, the Tax Collector was run out of office, our college president was fired and our sheriff is in federal prison. That's just my county.
The people whose doors I knocked on to get elected won't buy it if I say we couldn't pass ethics reform because of the House of Representatives. They think Senate and House, Governor and Legislature are hyphenated words and they hold us responsible together.
The people who sent me here, the people who sent you here want solutions, not excuses.
That's why Speaker Weatherford and I working together on a joint agenda: To make Florida a better place for moms and dads to keep their jobs or get better jobs; To lash higher education to the realities and opportunities of the economy so Florida's sons and daughters will be prepared with college and university degrees that lead to high-pay, high demand jobs;
To raise the standard of ethical conduct in local and state government; And there is at least one other priority that Speaker Weatherford and I share; Floridians should never again have to stand in lines for six and seven hours to vote.
Floridians should never again have to wonder if their ballots were miscoded or misprinted or miscounted.
Floridians shouldn't be embarrassed that while most counties in our state run flawless elections, some counties keep running flawed elections.
This isn't a third world country. America shouldn't have to wait for five days after the polls close to find out how Florida voted.
We'll probe. We'll listen. If we need to change laws, we'll change them. But I won't be satisfied and neither should you unless the 2014 elections in Florida are a model for America.
Our constitutional duty is to fashion a budget. Consider this: If the state budget would have continued to grow in the last six years by the same rate as it grew in the preceding six years, the budget this year would be $120 billion. Instead, it's $70 billion. $50 billion less.
We're not spending less because the critical needs of our state are less. Our needs have actually increased as hundreds of thousands of our neighbors have lost their jobs, lost their health care, lost their homes.
We're spending less because we have less. I look around this chamber and see women and men who have struggled hard with the tough choices required to balance resources and needs.
We have learned lessons in the hard times we cannot forget as times get better. Lessons about how to be better stewards of the people's money.
In the book of Joel, the Lord said, "I will restore unto you the years the locusts have eaten."
But we're still far from the days of milk and honey.
It's true. Florida has achieved 27 months of positive job growth, Florida has the largest drop in unemployment of any state in the nation, unemployment among veterans has been cut by more than half, consumer confidence is at a five year high.
But it's also true that either the retirement litigation currently before the state Supreme Court or the "fiscal cliff" that the Congress and President have brought on themselves could force Florida down into billions of dollars of red ink.
Consequently, I will ask our appropriations committees to undertake a much more intensive budget review than ever before.
And, different from past Senate practice, I will be asking every senator to serve on two appropriations committees to take advantage of everyone's insights, everyone's skills to make sure the maximum value is squeezed from every dollar extracted from the pockets of our taxpayers and the cash registers of our businesses.
You and I will be judged by whether we have helped or hurt or been irrelevant to the slow, steady, permanent recovery of Florida's economy.
You and I will be judged by whether it is more or less likely that a high school or college or university graduate can count on his education as the passport to a job.
You and I will be judged, in spite of ourselves, not by what we say but by what we do to reform the way we run elections and raise the standards of ethical conduct from the courthouse to the state house.
Let us go forward together to lead the land we love. And so bear ourselves that we can look our communities, our constituents, our children straight in the eye and say, "When I was there, when I was a Senator, we built a better Florida."

The 13th annual WardsAuto e-Dealer 100 indicates dealers are active participants in the growing digital marketplace where they engage customers, manage reputations and move the metal.
This year's list, the industry's first, shows Internet-driven sales of 148,657 new vehicles and 107,241 used for a total of 255,898in 2012. While that is a fraction of the 14.4 million U.S. light-vehicle sales last year, it's a big increase from a total of 81,705 reported Internet-related vehicle sales in 2002, the second year of the WardsAuto e-Dealer 100.
For the ranking, an Internet-assisted sale is defined as one that stems from an online lead or handled by a dedicated Internet staff.
In reality, the vast majority of consumers use the Internet throughout their car shopping before they visit a dealership. Even at the dealership, some people use their mobile devices to comparison shop and such.
"Most dealers that have been in business for the last five or 10 years have really seen a significant shift in the way their consumers approach the car-buying process," says Alec Gutierrez, senior market analyst at Kelley Blue Book in Irvine, CA.
"Pandora's Box was opened long ago, and we're just going to continue down that path until the transaction is going to become more centered online," he says. "It's not going away, especially since the millenials will become more predominant in terms of their share of the auto-buying public."
"The market has changed in terms of how people consume media," says Nicole Gignac, national sales director at L2T Media in Chicago. "Twenty-six percent of an average adult's (age 18-49) time is spent with the Internet. However, the Internet only received about 16% of the average franchise dealer's ad spend in 2012."
Gignac says 80% of car buyers begin their search online and now visit an average of only 1.5 dealerships in the process, compared with 4.5 showrooms in past years. "The consumer is finding out everything they need to know about the vehicle online before they even go into a dealership," she says.
Third-party sources such as KBB.com, Cars.com, Edmunds.com and AutoTrader.com let customers shop products, features and price, long before they set foot in a showroom. Consumers are using their social networks to inform their decisions. They don't necessarily have to rely on the integrity and trustworthiness of a business.
Individual dealership websites have become much more interactive than in the early days, when they were little more than static digital sales brochures.
"The consideration process begins online and it's enabled by people using their social networks such as Facebook and Twitter to help make better, faster and more satisfying decisions," says Bill Parkes, executive vice president and chief digital officer at NFusion, a digital-centric marketing agency in Austin, TX.
"They look to their friends and peers to decide what to buy and from whom," he says of online car shoppers. "If you can create a very positive experience for your customers, they can be advocates on your behalf."
For Fitzgerald Auto Malls, which operates 17 franchises in Florida, Maryland and Pennsylvania, it's all about being ISO 9001 certified. That is a measurable standard of excellence usually applicable in the auto industry to auto makers and suppliers. But Fitzgerald Auto Malls founder Jack Fitzgerald decided to seek the certification for his business group.
"It has allowed us to develop processes and a process-based management," says Bill McClure, Fitzgerald's director-digital sales and marketing. "It's about continual improvement and being flexible and meeting the needs of the customer. For us, it's a total customer focus."
Fitzgerald operations appear four times on the WardsAuto e-Dealer 100, at No.8, No.25, No.30, No.43 and No.98.
Fitzgerald's process directs every Internet lead to the store's Internet distribution department in Gaithersburg, MD. Five full-time employees use tools developed by the company's in-house information technology staff to forward the queries to a manager at the appropriate store, who then hands the leads off to product specialists.
"If a lead was assigned to our Chrysler-Jeep store in Clearwater, FL, and after 15 minutes it hasn't been (acknowledged), a red flag comes up and we immediately call the manager and say you have to get on this ASAP," McClure says. "If a customer walks in the front door, you wouldn't ignore him. Guess what? The front door today is digital."
He spends 40% of the Fitzgerald advertising budget on digital tools, including manufacturer websites and third-party lead generators. He says the Internet regularly generates 50% to 80% of new opportunities, but he keeps his financials close to the vest.
"Our cost per sale is part of our secret sauce," McClure says. "Because we are ISO-certified and a posted-price dealer, we have to be lean and very efficient. If the average dealer is spending $400 per unit to advertise and market their inventory, I can guarantee that we are much less."
Fitzgerald's social media strategy relies heavily on Facebook. "We offer customers the opportunity to 'like' us on our Facebook page, and we tell them this is how you can communicate with us (with compliments or complaints)," McClure says.
Fitzgerald has 1,400 Facebook fans, but when they are "tagged" in photos – with their permission – their reach extends to 250,000 people. "There's not a week that goes by that I don't get an email from a sales manager who says a customer was referred by their friend who is our Facebook fan," McClure says.
Planet Honda in Union, NJ, is No.15 on the WardsAuto e-Dealer 100 with 3,496 new and used units (out of 6,390 total dealership vehicle sales) and more than $6.5 million in gross sales attributable to the Internet.
"We made a very large investment in the last year in pay-per-click and display advertising," says Bill Feinstein, Planet Honda's president and dealer manager. "About 45%, or over $1 million, of our annual ad budget is Internet-based. I expect that number will go to 60% to 65% over the next 12 months."
His store was one of the first local companies to advertise on Pandora Internet radio. "When they came to us it was an entirely new proposition; no one had done it before," Feinstein says. "But we looked at their listenership and realized for us to get the same reach in terrestrial radio, we would have to buy the top three stations in New York at five or six times the cost."
The bulk of Planet Honda's leads are generated through its own website, search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising on Google, Bing and Yahoo. The dealership benchmarks Internet cost-per-sale at under $300 per unit, with a "comfort zone" closer to $250.
"We work closely with our third-party vendors to make sure they stay within those ranges," Feinstein says. "If they don't deliver quality leads or closing percentages, then we have pretty interesting conversations with them."
It's not enough just to look at cost per sale, he says. When evaluating a third-party lead, he examines cost per lead and especially, net gross profit per sale.
"When I take out the fee, what's left over for me?" Feinstein says. "You could spend only $200 per car with a lead provider, and that seems like a pretty good deal. But if your average gross profit on the vendor is $300, that's not a particularly profitable arrangement."
Feinstein tracks average gross profit per vendor as well, because all vendors are not created equal. Also affecting gross profits are vendors' "rules of engagement" that include how many dealers are in the program, how close the retailers are to each other and how many leads are sent out to dealers.
"We're very open with our vendors in terms of the numbers they need to hit to remain our partner," Feinstein says.
While third-party vendors represent the heavy artillery that can deliver new sales leads, social-media sites like Twitter can help dealers engage with customers and manage their reputation. The Pew Research Center reported last year that 15% of online adults use Twitter to communicate.
"Every day I search Twitter to see what people are saying about Planet Honda," Feinstein says. "Recently someone tweeted something that they were upset about, and it turns out that they had a right to be upset."
A salesperson had failed to deliver on a promise, but within an hour Feinstein identified the customer to make things right. "An hour and twenty minutes later, the customer is tweeting how happy they are," he says. "To me, that's the level of dedication that you need to have if you want to be successful. It's real-time marketing."
A key element of Feinstein's strategy is constant learning. "If you're not reading, you're not leading," he says. "I read business books and magazines every week to see what's working or not working for other people."
By keeping up with the latest news and trends, a dealer could learn, for example, that if his website runs on Flash technology it may not display on iPhones and iPads.
The Al Serra Auto Plaza in Grand Blanc, MI, spends about $40,000 a month on Web advertising, which translates to 35% of its total advertising budget.
"We spend money on search-engine marketing with the endorsed programs for the manufacturers' sites because we get some participation from them," says Serra Internet manager Jeff Jones.
"We don't spend as much as other dealers might because we choose to put more money into our 16 manufacturer and dealership websites," he says. "These do a good job of helping us dominate the page and stay in the top scroll."
Serra, which ranks No.84 on this year's WardsAuto e-Dealer 100, began with a 10-person dedicated Internet sales team. Today, 50 salespeople handle every type of lead. New hires at Serra must be tech-savvy and not afraid to get out of the office.
"The best people are the ones that are able to be walking from one building to the next, looking at their smartphone and reaching out to a customer," Jones says. "These guys have become very mobile. They have to be able to go out on the lot, take a picture of a car, send it to the customer, text them. The Internet department isn't about sitting at your desk anymore."
Jones uses Facebook and Twitter and Wordpress blogs to publicize everything from availability of the Jeep Wrangler "Oscar Mike" Freedom Edition to Serra's sponsorship of the YMCA of Greater Flint's annual 5K Santa Run.
He sees buzz-building potential in the use of YouTube to follow Serra's A-Team around the region helping customers and non-customers alike understand complicated vehicle features.
JM Lexus in Margate, FL, near Ft. Lauderdale, bills itself as the world's largest Lexus dealer and is No.23 on this year's list. JM sold 4,714 new cars in 2012 with 1,683, or 35.7%, attributable to the Internet. More than 46% of the store's 2,328 pre-owned sales came from Internet leads.
Internet Director Robert Glasser diversifies his ad spend among re-marketing tools, banner ads on third-party dealer ratings and automotive marketplace websites.
"I like ads that target competing brands," Glasser says. "On Cars.com, if someone is searching for a Mercedes and they are in our area, they're going to see a JM Lexus banner."
While digital return on investment is hard to nail down, Glasser says he knows he is getting the desired result when a click-through ends up on the JM Lexus website.
"It's way different than happening to turn to your dealership's page in a newspaper," he says. "The publications would like to count that as eyeballs seeing your ad, but in reality there's no evidence that there was any interest.
"This is opposed to a call-to-action where somebody actually clicked through and we can be comfortable that we're getting some result for our money."
Glasser says JM Lexus's Internet presence attracts prospects from out of the state and, sometimes, the country.
"We sold an SUV to a customer in Kazakhstan," he recalls. "He was a shepherd on the side of a hill on his laptop. He typed in the word Lexus, and the next thing you know he's looking at one of our pre-owned vehicles. Three days later, the funds are wired into our account. Two days after that, the freight forwarder is here to pick up the car."
While the Internet is a proven sales tool, many dealers need to persuade employees to break their old habits, say Internet experts.
"Our sales managers were traditional, looking out on the lot for the next 'up,'" says Fitzgerald's McClure. "Their thinking was, 'Run out on the lot and get a hold of that customer. I don't want him waiting any longer. We can get to those Internet leads (later).'
"We convinced leadership to let us train a few sales associates who wanted to (work with Internet leads)," he says. "Within a year, those people became the highest-performing and highest-paid sales associates. Guess what happened? Everybody wanted a piece of the pie!"
At Serra, "we had a lot of salespeople that didn't want to raise their hand to be a part of (Internet sales) because they thought it was too much work chasing unresponsive leads and customers that want information but never come in," Jones says. "Our challenge is to make sure that everybody in the dealership recognizes these leads as good customers."
Internet marketing and sales are hard for many dealers because the thinking involved is different from the past," NFusion's Parkes says. "But the genie is out of the bottle, and he's not going back in."

Gorham Savings Bank has named the semi-finalists for its LaunchPad business plan competition, which it announced in January.
From nearly 250 applicants, the bank chose 7 semi-finalists who will compete at a live pitching event on March 21 at the Portland Museum of Art for a chance to win $30,000 to put toward their business plan. At this event, three finalists will be chosen to move ahead in the competition. The presentations of those three finalists will be featured on the Gorham Savings Bank website from March 25 to April 8, where the community will be able to vote for their favorite candidate to win. The winner will be announced April 11.
The seven semi-finalists are…
Jeremy Litchfield – Atayne
Jan Anderson, Anthony Kelley, and Wayne Snyder – Coastal Farms and Foods Inc.
Christopher Kinkade – Green Bee Soda
Scott Rehart – Montecito Roadhouse Inc.
Ben Polito – Pika Energy LLC
Brett Richardson, Greg Williams – Resurgam Zero Food Waste
These 7 semi-finalists will pitch their business idea to a panel of judges at the March 21st event. The judges are Dr. Paul Ferguson, president of the University of Maine; Craig Denekas, president and CEO of the Libra Foundation; and Michelle Neujahr, entrepreneurial center director at Southern Maine Community College.
"We could not be more thrilled with the response to LaunchPad. We know one of the biggest barriers for entrepreneurs is the lack of capital when trying to bring their idea to fruition," Chris Emmons, president and CEO of Gorham Savings Bank, said in a statement. "The number and quality of applicants underscores that the entrepreneurial spirit exists throughout Maine. We can't wait to see the presentations on the 21st, learn more about their ideas, and share them with the larger community."

I saw Wolverine in theaters. I paid $8 for my ticket and $5 for popcorn, heavy on the heart attack sauce. But I still don't know why 4 million people downloaded that piece of poo.
The movie industry would like to tell you that those 4 million downloads are totally equivalent to 4 million lost tickets at an average cost of 7 bucks a piece according to the Hollywood Reporter's figures, knocking about $28 million off its weekend total, which was a still respectable $85 million, though less than X3's opening weekend gross of $103 million.
It's not. Even discounting the few people brave enough for a repeat viewing of this crime against decency—adamantium bullets, really?—pirates who are piratey pirates were never going to pay to see it anyway, and the incredible download numbers undoubtedly drew more of them in. It's like a YouTube video with 2 million views. It makes you more likely to click.
But 4 million is still something of a watershed number. 1 million downloads was pretty damn good. 4 million is berzerk. The Dark Knight hasn't even sold 4 million copies on Blu-ray, and it's like the biggest thing ever on the format.
That's fairly incredible buzz for a thoroughly lackluster movie that's a bona fide wolverine fart in summer filled with actually good blockbusters, hype it likely would've never achieved otherwise. And being able to talk about all those millions of downloads in the press is just one slice of this illicit hype machine. (If Fox was smart, they would include the bootleg workprint as a special feature on the Blu-ray.)
Would it have made more $85 million if it hadn't leaked? Maybe. But I kind of doubt it. Would fewer people have seen it? Definitely. [Hollywood Reporter via digg]

Padres activate INF/OF Kyle Blanks from 15-day DL and option RHP Anthony Bass to Triple-A Tucson
The San Diego Padres today announced that they have activated infielder/outfielder Kyle Blanks from the 15-day disabled list and have optioned right-handed pitcher Anthony Bass to AAA Tucson. Executive Vice President/General Manager Josh Byrnes made the announcement.
Blanks, 26, played four games during his rehabilitation assignment, hitting .091 (1-for-11) with a run scored and a walk. He has hit .256 (56-for-219) with 13 doubles, eight home runs, 34 RBI, 26 runs scored, a .318 on-base percentage and a .425 slugging percentage in 67 games for the Padres this season. The right-handed hitter has set career-highs so far this season in nearly every offensive category including hits, doubles, RBI, runs scored and games played. Over parts of five Major League seasons with the Padres (2009-13), he has hit .231 (149-for-644) with 35 doubles, two triples, 28 home runs, 97 RBI and 85 runs scored in 213 games played. In 12 games with Tucson this season is hitting .237 (9-for-38) with three doubles, one home runs and four RBI.
Bass, 25, appeared in two games since being recalled on August 26, tossing 1.2 shutout innings on Monday and allowing five runs last night against the Dodgers. Bass was in his third stint with the Padres, having made his second consecutive Opening Day roster for San Diego this season. The right-hander was previously recalled from Triple-A Tucson on June 22 and optioned back the following day. In 19 relief appearances for San Diego this season, he has posted a 5.11 ERA (21 ER, 37.0 IP) with 24 strikeouts against 15 walks. In 15 starts for Tucson this year, the right-hander has posted a 4-6 record with a 5.45 ERA (48 ER, 79.1 IP) and 60 strikeouts against 17 walks. Over his last five starts for Tucson, he has gone 2-2 with a 2.32 ERA (8 ER, 31.0 IP) and 22 strikeouts against six walks.

When it was announced that beloved Oscar host Billy Crystal would be returning to shepherd the 84th Annual Academy Awards next month (after a brief flirtation with Eddie Murphy that was torpedoed by the overwhelming schmuck-ness of fired producer Brett Ratner), we all knew what was coming: Skillfully-edited movie parodies!
Turns out Crystal is not about to flip the script, as evidenced by this new TV ad for the Oscar telecast. Promoting a fake movie called "Off the Grid," it's a star-studded spoof that, well, does kind of hit you like a warm hot chocolate. Maybe not the edgiest drink in the world, but oddly comforting.
"Starring" Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox, Vinnie Jones, William Fichtner, and Robin Williams, it has us eagerly-awaiting February 26th.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The 84th Annual Academy Awards will be shown live Sunday, February 26th at 7 ET on ABC.

CARSON, Calif. – A number of reasons were bandied about during the LA Galaxy's slow start to the 2012 season. But following the club's 3-1 victory over Chivas USA, head coach Bruce Arena was candid in the role that offseason loan deals played in LA's struggles at the beginning of the season.
This season, Landon Donovan, Omar Gonzalez and Robbie Keane each headed off to Europe to ply their trade with Everton, Nuremberg and Aston Villa respectfully. The loan deals caused all three players to miss large stretches of the preseason and in Gonzalez's case, suffer a torn ACL injury from which he is still recovering.
With his team unbeaten in four matches and seemingly finding their form, Arena openly admitted that the lack of a full preseason hurt the Galaxy.
"We made a big mistake in having players loaned out right until the start of the season," said Arena. "Although they played together at the end of last year, they still needed time together and we started with a group of players that hadn't had a pre-season together, which was a major mistake; I accept the responsibility for that. Now we're building into the second half of the season, they're much more familiar with each other and they're playing better."

In reading Ken's post about a couple of ancestors that he found in the Texas Deaths, 1890-1976 database at FamilySearch Record Search, I learned that requests for grave and headstone photographs can be made at Find A Grave. I have been to this site a few times, and have found a few folks that I was researching as a RAOGK volunteer, but I have not found any of my own ancestors at Find A Grave. But Ken has inspired me to join Find A Grave and contribute some of my cemetery photos to their database. Another way to volunteer! I have also agreed to take tombstone photos in my area. What fun, as I just relish exploring old (and new!) cemeteries!
In fact, Chatt-Jessie Cemetery in Hill County, Texas, the location of several of my Turner family's graves, was not even in Find A Grave's database…until now!

Nikki Reed worked an allnighter Friday shooting scenes for Twilight Eclipse with Jack Huston. Jack left Vancouver promptly the next day and perhaps for good. As I reported last week Vancouver is looking less and less attractive as a possible location for the fourth installment of the franchise in light of tax incentives being offered in other cities.
Offscreen of course Nikki has been attached for a few months now to Ebola Paris Hilton's ex boyfriend Paris Latsis who has been in Vancouver almost the entire production. As you know, Ebola's first Greek victim is obscenely rich. This apparently absolves him from having to find and maintain a job. Is this attractive? A wealthy unemployed aimless heir?
Eager to enjoy the sunshine (while it lasts), even though she'd been filming til dawn, Nikki went downtown to do some shopping on Saturday, hand in hand with her man who appears to have recently buzzed his head. Much better than this but that vaginal growth on his chin is a douche alert. Just like wearing Ed Hardy.
Their body language is intense, non?
A shame, really. She's a nice girl, and beautiful, with great hamstrings (hamstrings are underrated), and has voluntarily allowed an Ebola strain to plant itself into her life. It can remain latent for years. And then it's too late for regret.
