Best Careers for Introverts and Extroverts
Check out some hot career picks for introverts and extroverts.
Do you love interacting with people? Maybe you'd prefer to limit your time to the most interesting person you know...you.
These are important questions if you're thinking of going back to school to pursue a new career. After all, if you're an introvert - someone who prefers solitary activities such as reading and writing - chances are you won't really enjoy being a nurse or selling ads.
On the other hand, if you're an extrovert - a person who is energized by being around people and groups - you'd likely go nuts programming computers or crunching numbers all day.
And though clinical psychologist Dr. Suzanne Anthony says people should think of the introvert-extrovert scale as a continuum, with no one being purely one or the other, she says it's important for your career goals to understand where you fall on the scale.
"You want to find the right fit for your personality in a career because you'll be spending a large portion of your life at work," Anthony says. "So you want to pick a field you'll be comfortable with. Do that and you'll have a better chance at achieving satisfaction, happiness, and success."
To help you match your personality to a career, here's a quick look at five careers for those on the introvert side of the scale, and five for those falling on the more extroverted end. We've also broken them up by various fields of study.
Read on to see if one fits your lifestyle...
Field of Study: Business and Marketing
Introvert-Friendly Career - Market Research Analyst
If the idea of analyzing data and research gets you pumped up instead of slumped down, the introvert-friendly career of market research analyst might be a good option.
"From what I know about this career, they tend to work more behind the scenes, conducting research and doing analysis, so it's a career where you might spend a lot of time by yourself, 'inside your head,' so to speak," Anthony says. "That's much better for an introvert."
The U.S Department of Labor's description of this job seems to suggest the same thing. It says market research analysts might forecast market sales trends, examine data using statistical software, and translate complex data into clear reports and graphs.

Education Options: The Department of Labor says these analysts need a bachelor's degree in market research or a related field, such as math, statistics, or computer science. It adds that some have backgrounds in business administration, communications, or a social science.
Extrovert-Friendly Career - Public Relations Specialist
Let's see if we can decipher why this may be a good extrovert career. Public. Relations. Specialist. Yes, it might help to be a specialist in relating with the public, aka, people. Basically, it's a great career for people with the gift of the gab.
Anthony agrees. "My understanding of a public relations specialist is you have to interact with a lot of different people, so being outgoing, or a people person, would help you in that career. Definitely an extrovert's career," she says.
In fact, the first skill the U.S. Department of Labor suggests as an important quality to possess in this career is interpersonal skills. Why? They say public relations specialists "must be open and friendly to build rapport and get good cooperation from their media contacts."
Click to Find the Right Communications Program Now.
Education Options: The Department of Labor says public relations specialists usually need to have a bachelor's degree, with employers wanting applicants with a background in public relations, journalism, communications, business, or English.
Field of Study: Information Technology (IT)
Introvert-Friendly Career - Computer Programmer
Spending time alone with a computer could be a dream come true for any introverted techie. For them, life as a computer programmer might sound like a dream that could also pay the rent.
"From my understanding, computer programmers work by themselves, in the world of ideas," Anthony says. "That's more on the introverted side because introverts are more comfortable alone and like working on their own."
In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, a computer programmer's typical responsibilities include using code libraries, writing code to create software programs, and debugging, fixing, and testing computer programs. Like we said, an introvert's dream job.
Click to Find the Right Computer Science Program Now.
Education Options: The Department of Labor says most computer programmers have a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related area. They add that some employers could take on applicants with an associate's degree.
Extrovert-Friendly Career - Computer Support Specialist
If you're a computer geek - sorry, computer aficionado - who isn't afraid of terms like face time and small talk, you might be hard-wired for a computer support specialist career.
"I think as a computer support specialist you have to feel comfortable interacting with people, unlike a computer programmer where you'll be working alone for long periods," Anthony says. "You'll want to make sure people are at ease so you can get information about their computer problems and then be effective in solving them."
That sounds about right if you read the U.S. Department of Labor's description of this job. It says that computer support specialists "...provide help and advice to people and organizations using computer software or equipment."
Click to Find the Right Computer Science Program Now.
Education Options: "A bachelor's degree is required for some computer support specialist positions, but an associate's degree or postsecondary classes may be enough for others," says the Department of Labor. It adds that more technical positions will likely require applicants to have a degree in computer science, engineering, or information science.
Field of Study: Health Care
Introvert-Friendly Career - Medical Records and Health Information Technician
It's all right there in the job title, isn't it? "Records," "information," "technician." These are words that just might make an introvert's heart sing.
Yes, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, medical records and health info techs work on a lot of coding and categorizing (two more introvert-song-worthy words). They also manage and organize health data in both paper and electronic form. We'd go on, but all you introverts might stop reading as you jump for joy.
And here's Anthony's take on the career: "When you're doing medical billing and coding, you're working not with patients but more with paperwork and computers. Again, you'll likely be working on your own, so that would be a great choice for an introvert," she says.
Click to Find the Right Medical Records Technician Program Now.
Education Options: According to the Department of Labor, medical records and health info technicians are generally required to have certificate in health information technology. The Department also notes that these technicians may have an associate's degree. Many employers also require applicants to have a professional certification.
Extrovert-Friendly Career - Registered Nurse (RN)
Whether you're sick, need a shot, or just going to the doctor for a routine checkup, you probably want a person with a calming, personable attitude taking those vital signs, right? In other words, you'll likely want someone tipping the extrovert side of the personality scale.
Anthony agrees this is a good career fit for people with a more outgoing personality. "Typically, nurses interact a lot with patients, doctors, and other nurses," she says. "So extroverts would be more comfortable working closely with other people, especially in the sometimes anxiety-inducing settings of hospitals and doctors' offices."
Indeed, the U.S. Department of Labor verifies this by listing some of the skills that are good for nurses to have: compassion, patience, and speaking skills. Nurses could use these skills to record patients' medical histories, take vital signs, consult with doctors, and explain care and treatment to patients.
Click to Find the Right Nursing Program Now.
Education Options: An associate's degree in nursing (ADN) or a diploma from an approved nursing program are two educational paths that can help you prepare to pursue a career as an RN, the Department of Labor says. RNs must also pass the National Council Licensure Examination to receive their license.
Field of Study: Finance
Introvert-Friendly Career - Accountant
Crunching numbers, balancing spreadsheets, preparing taxes...these may be some of an introvert's favorite things.
"Typically, accountants are working with numbers, paperwork, computers, and not as much with people, so I think that career is a better fit for an introvert," Anthony says. "It's for someone who wants to work with ideas versus people."
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, accountants could do everything from computing taxes and preparing tax returns to organizing and maintaining financial records. Of course, as an accountant, the Department of Labor also says you may need to explain your work to clients and companies. So save a little extrovert for this one, too.
Click to Find the Right Accounting Program Now.
Education Options: Most accountants are required to have at least a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field, according to the Department, which notes that some employers may favor applicants with a master's in accounting or business administration.
Extrovert-Friendly Career - Personal Financial Advisor
Want to take that number-crunching and financial planning introvert out for some social interaction? Personal financial advisor could be a great profession to do it.
"As opposed to an accountant, a personal financial advisor works more directly with clients to help them plan their finances and future, so I think it's very important to be comfortable with people," Anthony says.
That sounds about right, since three out of the five important qualities that the U.S. Department of Labor lists for this career are interpersonal, selling, and speaking skills. And these skills could go a long way, as personal financial advisors often meet with clients to educate them on investment options and risks and answer their questions.
Click to Find the Right Finance Program Now.
Education Options: Personal financial advisors generally need a bachelor's degree, says the Department of Labor, which notes that a degree in business, accounting, finance, to name a few, could provide good preparation.
Field of Study: Legal
Introvert-Friendly Career - Paralegal
Do you enjoy research, analytical writing, and critical thinking? You might be an introvert. And chances are you might also be a perfect fit for a paralegal career.
Just check out the job description from the U.S. Department of Labor. It says paralegals assist lawyers by investigating the facts of cases, researching relevant laws, regulations, and legal articles, drafting contracts, and writing reports.
Anthony agrees this is a good career choice for introverts, but adds that it might require a little extrovert in you, as well. "Dealing with the world of ideas is a good fit for introverted personalities," she says. "However, I think you'll interact with attorneys and clients at times, so you might need some desire to work with people, too."
Click to Find the Right Paralegal Studies Program Now.
Education Options: "Most paralegals and legal assistants have an associate's degree in paralegal studies, or a bachelor's degree in another field and a certificate in paralegal studies," says the Department of Labor.
Extrovert-Friendly Career - Court Reporter
Here's a career where your job is to pay attention to people, so you probably won't be alone much. But, says Anthony, this is another career, like paralegal, where it might be best to also have a little of the opposite personality - i.e., introvert - in your DNA.
"This I see as a career that's in the midrange between introvert and extrovert," Anthony says. "That said, I could imagine this being a good pick for an extrovert. Extroverts like being around people, so you might like the dynamics and energy of a courtroom setting."
And according to the U.S. Department of Labor, many court reporters do more than merely take down transcripts at court hearings and trials. They also could attend events that need transcription, work with the deaf and hard-of-hearing to turn speech to text, and even write the closed captioning for TV and movies.
Click to Find the Right Court Reporting Program Now.
Education Options: The Department of Labor says that a good chunk of court reporters obtain formal preparation at a community college or technical institution, adding that program options vary from certificate programs to associate's degrees in stenography.

Every now and then a baby comes into the world in unlikely places, like the car on the way to the hospital or at home.
But Thursday morning, a woman gave birth on the platform at the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station.
The baby boy, named Amir, came two weeks early.
His mom was on her way to a doctor's appointment at the time.
Thankfully, an EMT from Dumfries, Virginia was there and wasted no time helping deliver the baby in a very unusual place.
That co-incidence was not lost on the Amir's grandma.
FOX 5 welcomed to our studio that lovely lady, Autumn Manka, the EMT who delivered little Amir!

Premature Infant: Signs of Overstimulation
Topic Overview
Extremely premature infants are born before the nervous system is mature enough to handle outside stimuli without becoming overstimulated. Such an infant is said to have a disorganized nervous system.
If your premature infant has a disorganized nervous system, you may notice physical reactions (destabilization) in the presence of too much sound, touch, movement, or light, including:
If you see such signs, give your infant some peace and quiet. The next time you're together, try only one stimulus at a time (such as touch or voice, but not both).

What's growing-on at Sterling Studio
Emerald and Red Ruby Head Lettuce…very lovely when planted together.
Today's awesome harvest!
From left to right two Candy Onions, green onions, basil, a rainbow of peppers: jalapenos (which I think I left to long on the plant and the skins cracked), banana, hot hungarian, chilli, cherry tomatoes, and mixed lettuce greens.
In other garden news:
Cucumber Beetles are jerks. Not sure where they came from but they are definitely interested in the cukes, zukes, and watermelons. I squash them!
You know who else is a jerk, Stinkbugs. Never heard of them before I found weird beige freckles on a few cherry tomatoes, then on a few yellow tomatoes, and then the telltale neon green egg. I squash them too! There is a lot of squashing going on.
And we're making salads every day! :)
That's all! Have a nice weekend!
This was last friday's harvest - couple Mountain Princess tomatoes, lettuce, 2 cucumbers, and a handful of potatoes (enough for 2).
Yum Yum Yum.
Gardener's Observation: The skins on the tomatoes and cukes are pretty tough. My grandpa says this is because they are grown outdoors in the elements as opposed to a greenhouse.
Today's lettuce and green onion harvest! (Australian Yellow Lettuce, Ruby and Emerald Head Lettuce, and Arugula)
…and my new harvest basket!
This is our new arugula. Its a variety called Astro which is supposed to be more drought tolerant and heat resistant. Here's hoping it can deal with the heat of the roof better then the last one. I've seeded 4 kale plants down the centre.
The yellow leaf Australian lettuce is also doing well. Thinning the heads out has helped a great deal and we're getting much bushier and robust plants.
You can see here what's going on with the other pea plants. The lettuce in the container is doing great but the peas are turning yellow and then drying up. At first I thought this was a heat issue and I moved them to a shadier location. Then I thought maybe its drainage - and went nutso with my drill. Then I thought maybe they're hungry and gave them some compost. Now I'm confused. They are still trying to produce.
My newest theory is that it might be the dirt. I planted these peas in leftover dirt from our neighbours' last year's planters as my dirt had not yet arrived. Maybe there's something in the dirt. But the lettuce seems unaffected.
Its a mystery.
Our lettuce harvest last week. As you can see the greens are growing great!
Our radish harvest was short lived - seems like its too hot on the roof for the little guys. They bolt right away, flower pretty quickly after and go to seed. I'm going to try and collect some of the seeds so its not a total waste. Live and learn! Next year I have to start earlier - maybe in March…or earlier if we get another mild winter.
Greenery Update: We started munching on our head lettuce and mixed greens last week. There isn't a ton but enough for two people every other day or so. We're working on thinning out the head lettuce by eating the big ones and making space for the remaining ones to grow in.
You can see some of the radishes in the photo too. They are still pretty small which has me a bit worried. Is it too hot? I think they might need thinning too (they should be about an inch apart). So they'll get tossed into the next salad. Same thing for the arugula - I think I need to increase the spacing.
The peas look good though! About 4" tall now and bushy!
Today's harvest: Basket of mixed greens & two strawberries (missing from the photo because we munched them back).
Today's new addition: This lovely birdhouse (don't get distracted by the hunk in front of it). Vacant and ready for tenancy! Chirp the word!
Lots of greens coming up!
This year arugula and lettuce are living in the BioTop. The lettuce I'm growing is called Grand Rapids (top). Italian Arugula on the bottom.
Using recycled plastic cutlery from studio production for labels (so much gets thrown out, might as well put it to use). :D

The University of South Carolina Press and the University of South Carolina Libraries are pleased to announce the launch of AccessAble Books. Titles published under this joint imprint are selected from the diverse collections of the Thomas Cooper Library and the South Caroliniana Library as a means to republish important out-of-print volumes of scholarship and regional history.
The Belle W. Baruch Collection features photographs provided by the Belle W. Baruch Foundation. In 1905, Bernard M. Baruch purchased and merged 11 former plantations as a winter hunting retreat calling it Hobcaw Barony. Today, Hobcaw includes 17,500 acres of research reserve left by his daughter Belle W. Baruch and is one of the few undeveloped tracts of land on the Waccamaw Neck.
This collection includes images of the Baruch family, their friends and guest at Hobcaw, as well as their extensive travels around the world. Photograph descriptions were provided by Lee Brockington.
Once part of an album, the photographs (circa 1900) show plantations, African Americans, horses, hunting, rice threshing, wagons and carts, and churches in Berkeley County, S.C. Some featured landmarks are: Medway, Wappahoola, Mulberry Castle, Dean Hall (bulk of collection,) Dockon, Bushy Park, Exeter, Cote Bas, Bippy, Lewisfield, Strawberry Chapel, Strawberry ferry, and pine land house. People who are identified in the photographs include Col. Jim Petigru Carson, S.P. Stoney, and the Stoney family.
Papers of Bonds Conway (1763-1843), a free African-American resident of Camden (Kershaw County, S.C.). This collection of family letters, land papers, and other items documents several generations of a free family of color from the 18th through the 20th centuries in South Carolina, Georgia, Kansas, east Texas, and elsewhere. Topics discussed include social relations during antebellum, Civil War, and Reconstruction eras through the early 20th century.
Broadsides is a virtual collection of posters from many different collections at the South Caroliniana Library.
Camilla Urso was one of the leading violinists of the 19th century. She accomplished this at a time when the violin was not considered to be a suitable instrument for a woman to play. Furthermore, she made the difficult transition from child prodigy to mature artist with a career that spanned more than fifty years and that took place on several continents.
The Carolina Textile Mills Collection provides photographs, maps, blueprints, ephemera, letters, guidebooks and more documenting textile mill history in Upstate South Carolina from various textile mill related collections held by the Clemson University Special Collections unit. Images in this collection were taken from the M. Lowenstein collection, the Neil Campbell collection, the Dill Family collection, the Clifton Manufacturing collection, the Henry Cater collection and the JP Stevens collection.
Richard T. Brumby began to keep a catalogue of the mineral specimens during the 1840s. He never finished it and between 1856 and 1903, no formal record of new or existing specimens was kept. As a result, the only surviving information on the collection was contained in Brumby's partial catalogue and the hastily scrawled paper labels that easily became separated from their associated specimens. In 1903, Daniel S. Martin began the work of trying to reconstruct a catalogue of USC's mineral specimens.
The papers of the Rev. Charles Stuart Vedder (1826–1917) consist primarily of letters as well as diaries spanning a period of over sixty years. Vedder moved from Schenectady, New York, to Columbia, South Carolina, to study at Columbia Theological Seminary. He was called upon to become pastor of the Summerville Presbyterian Church in June 1861.
The main line of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad Company, which began operations in 1861, ran between Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia, with service to other locations south and west of Charleston. In January 1867 under pressure from the bondholders, the Board of Directors agreed to transfer property rights and privileges of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad Company to the Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company.

Google Instant: More annoying now than ever before
Summary: I hate Google Instant. If you do, too, then this post is for you (including if you need to know how to disable it).
TOPICS: Google
Let me preface this diatribe by saying that I love Google. I mean, I LOVE Google! No search engine on the planet touches them, insofar as the advanced queries I run. I'm afraid that their advanced operators will be nixed one day and that scares me to death, since I'm a search junkie and all. Anyway, I love you, Google, but Instant is perhaps the most annoying thing, ever. Still. I've never liked Google Instant. From day-one, it's been a nuisance to me, primary due to the fact that my search habits often consist of queries COMPLETELY unrelated to what Google is trying to suggest. Being a person who looks at the screen 100% of the time I type, it's INCREDIBLY annoying to see the drop-down box pop up, disappear, pop up, make suggestions, disappear, pop up, disappear, popupsuggestdisappear, etc. as I type in a single query. I know, I know: "Why don't you disable it, then, Mr. "Search Ninja"?" I do! But, recently, I cleared my cookies, and -- since Google can't seem to make roaming search preferences for people who are logged into their Google accounts -- there was Google Instant, waiting for me the next time I visited Google. I was IMMEDIATELY aggravated, but I thought I'd give it a shot... NOPE! The last time I tried Google Instant was before they changed their UI, and now, it feels even more bothersome/invasive than before. I think Ben Bailey, of Cash Cab fame, sums it up perfectly in his Google Instant bit from his Road Rage comedy special:
So, I disabled Google Instant once again, and now, I'm happier than a hobo with a ham sandwich. If you, too, can't stand Google Instant and would like to disable it, then simply follow the simplistically-simple, simple steps below:

Get it? *crickets chirping*) Anyway, thanks for at least giving me the option to do something about it even though you make it a default setting, and, PLEASE, for the love of all that is sacred, don't ever make it such that Instant can never be disabled. That is all. -Stephen Chapman

For assembly:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the pancakes on a sheet pan. Spread marinara sauce on each pancake and top with scrambled eggs and bacon. Sprinkle with basil and mozzarella cheese and place in the oven for 3 minutes or until cheese melts. Transfer to individual dishes and serve with butter and maple syrup.
This is so good, tried it the day I saw it on your site! My husband also loved it!

This looks to be an excellent choice for one of my meals, with my Sweetheart! We have been married for 22 years, and one of my delight is looking for new recipes for us to try. This is going in my next 2 week meal plan, will let you know what he thinks.... Karen
By Karen Brierley on September 06, 2012
I first looked at it and it looked disgusting, honestly. Then I tasted it and it was surprisingly good! The only problem with it is that I felt like the pancake was a little thick and tough, but that might have been my cooking:) Overall, very good and picky eaters will enjoy it!
By Nicole Lang on November 27, 2011
My son is a verry picky eater when he first gets up in the mornings. However he has to eat breakfast so he can take his medication. So I am going to try this this morning and let you know what he thinks. I have tried everything els and am running out of ideas.

I think these would be great on an english muffin.... can't wait to try it.
By Julie on August 27, 2011
I love looking over your food & what is needed but I have to watch my sodium as I have heart problems and it would be so great to have more meals with that in mind. I still do some of your projects & love it but do not think my doctor would be happy with me at times. I will still make your meals but some time would love to do something that I can say, I can really have this. Love your letters, your ideas & just everything you have your name on. Thank You. Marie
By Marie Kuenn on May 06, 2011
I tried this for dinner tonight, it was so good, but very filling. We all loved it. My husband does not like pancakes, so I made his with french toast. Thanks for the great idea, I saw it on one of your shows.

Students Praised at MSBA
On September 24, Field School Principal Matt Lucey, Teacher Carol Schopfer, Technology Integration Specialist Kate Benson, Assistant Superintendent Pam Bator and I accompanied a group of students into Boston so that they could make a presentation to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) on project based learning.
In a word, they were outstanding! The two boys and three girls, now in the Middle School, clearly articulated how they used the Field School Building Project to frame driving questions, conduct research, and create solutions. They also shared what made the experience so valuable.
After the presentations, Massachusetts State Treasurer Steven Grossman, who chairs the MSBA, gave high praise to them and asked that we create a video of their presentations so that the MSBA can distribute it to school districts throughout the commonwealth. Other MSBA Board members and the Executive Director Jack McCarthy also noted how impressed they were with the students, the project and the WPS staff.
Kudos to the faculty and staff of Field School for embracing project based learning and for their ongoing support of our students!
Cheryl Maloney, Ph.D.
Superintendent of Schools

I'm just quote what @planetbeing said:
"Try having ******* uninstalled
and deleting com.apple.mobile.installation.plist,
com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore and rebooting"
Deleting these files, worked for me.
After Jailbreaking an iPhone 5 on 6.1 the Weather app worked fine, but I had the hanging apple shut-down issue. Then I began adding things via Cydia (I imagine it was *******) & then my Weather app crashed. Now after installing all updates AND removing ******* the phone reboots propthe Weather app still crashes :-/
The update fixed the Weather app for me, thanks
Took 28sec to boot up from a hard boot up. Respring only a few sec
I haven't jail broke my iPhone 5 yet. Do I just download it from evasi0n.com and the links were updated?? Or is the update a package in Cydia u have to install
got a serisous problem cause i installed retina support for iphone apps and now got this when i open cydia
Installed update, it forced me to reboot and fixed the problem with weather widget. Thanks guys. I4 IOS 6.0.1 untethered JB
I use Zephyr, SBSettings and Activator, Works great, all together.
Stunning how many pirates there are
I uninstalled ******* & deleted "com.apple.mobile.installation.plist" & "com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore," (located in var>mobile>library>caches) & rebooted... & it worked for me.
Next, I reinstalled ******* 6.0 & rebooted... & the weather app STILL works!!!
The update seems to have only partially fixed the weather app for me. After the update, the app doesn't crash anymore but when I launch it, I notice it only shows locations you have manually added. The app used to show your current location as well as any manually added locations. Anyone else noticed this problem?
Can someone please tell me why people are even downloading *******??? Wasn't the app that it had to do with taken down
The name just needs to be stopped brought up. Kinda ashamed as how many people jailbreak there device to install piracy stuff anyways.

Aristotle Analysis System
Java Architecture for Bytecode Analysis (JABA)
Tarantula Fault Localization System
The Aristotle Analysis System provides program analysis information,
and supports the development of software engineering tools. Aristotle's front end
consists of parsers that gather control flow, local dataflow, and
symbol table information for procedures and programs. We have
implemented this front end by incorporating analysis routines into
the Edison Design Group's C parser.
Aristotle tools use the data provided by
parsers to perform a variety of tasks, such as dataflow analysis,
control dependence analysis, code instrumentation, graph construction,
and graph display. Parsers and tools use database handler routines
to store analysis information in, and retrieve it from, a central
database. A user interface provides interactive menu-driven access
to tools, and users can view analysis results textually or graphically.
Many tools can also be invoked directly from applications programs;
this facilitates the development of new tools.

October 1, 1933 was a Sunday. On that day, the tiny faculty of Vancouver Junior College—numbering about half a dozen -- held their first formal meeting at the Hidden House in downtown Vancouver.
Imagine what that discussion must have been like. The nation was in the midst of the Great Depression – some of the toughest times that our country has ever seen.
Enrollment was low. According to historical records, faculty members questioned whether the college should open. But jobs were scarce – especially teaching jobs.
And one student – Larry Rakestraw – a graduate of Washougal High School – had signed up on the first day of registration. And he had paid his tuition in full.
That support – that belief in a bright future for the little junior college – carried the day. Today, 75 years later, we are here because of that belief in a bright future for Clark College.
As we observe our 75th anniversary, it's ironic that we find ourselves again in tough economic times – the most challenging since the college was founded.
But tough times eventually pass. And our anniversary provides an important reminder
that we need to stay focused on our students and continue to build for the future.
Clark College opened in one building in downtown Vancouver with half a dozen faculty members and fewer than 20 students.
Today, we serve more than 13,000 students each quarter on our main campus, at Clark College at Town Plaza, and at Clark College at WSU Vancouver. They are taught by nearly 600 full-time and part-time faculty members. Starting this fall, we will welcome students at our newest location – Clark College at Columbia Tech Center.
But one important thing hasn't changed. We are still your community college.
There's something else that hasn't changed since 1933. At Clark College, it's all about the student.
Everyone who works at Clark College supports our students – from our groundskeepers to our student affairs staff to our faculty. We are here to support our students and help them succeed.
Our faculty and staff are outstanding. That continues a tradition that goes back to our earliest years – familiar names like Robert Oliver, Dean Lewis Cannell (our library is named in his honor), and Dr. Paul Gaiser. This building was named in his honor.
Scarpelli Hall is named in honor of Dr. Antonio "Chick" Scarpelli. He made so many contributions to the college – as a faculty member and chair of our business division – and, after his retirement, serving on the board of the Clark College Foundation. With Chick's passing in December, we lost a lifelong supporter of our college and our students. But his legacy lives on every day at our college and in our community.
Our students study English, music, history, science and math. They enroll in health-related programs such as nursing, dental hygiene, medical radiography. They take part in career and technical programs including diesel, welding, computer technology and power utilities. Others come to Clark College as adults to learn to read and write – or to learn English as a Second Language.
Some earn certificates that help them advance at work. Some earn associate degrees and continue their education – many at our co-admission partners -- Concordia University, Marylhurst University, Portland State University, and our long-time partner WSU Vancouver.
We also have a strong partnership with Eastern Washington University. Eastern Washington offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Technology and Dental Hygiene at Clark College. Students can now earn a bachelor's degree in social work through the Clark-EWU partnership. EWU also offers a three-year, two-night per week Master of Social Work program at Clark College.
All of these programs and co-admissions agreements support our mission: it's all about the student.
We have a lot to be proud of at Clark College. This year, we marked some important milestones.
We welcomed educators from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities for our ten-year accreditation visit. Accreditation demonstrates that colleges and universities have been recognized for their performance, integrity and quality.
Clark earned its first accreditation back in 1937 – from a group of professors from the University of Washington. The professors came to the Hidden House that spring. They inspected the library, visited classes and talked to instructors and students. They also had lunch with members of the Board and talked to members of the community. In their report, they noted that, while the facilities were meager, the quality of the work and the competence of the faculty justified the encouragement that accreditation would provide. So Clark Junior College was accredited for one year. Since that day, we have never lost our accreditation.
When the accreditation team – which included educators from throughout the Pacific Northwest -- visited us last October, they reviewed binder after binder – filled with the results of nearly two years of a self-study done by faculty and staff from across the college.
When we began the accreditation process, we made it clear that we wanted the self-study to be transparent and honest. Accreditation commissioner Dr. Carol Lucey told me that our self-study was just that – transparent and honest. I'm very proud of that.
The accreditation team shared five "commendations" – areas in which they believe we shine.
One is our Teaching & Learning Center. Through workshops and speakers and Conversation
Cafes and online – our Teaching & Learning Center has led our efforts to truly become
a learning-centered college.
The team also cited our support for learning through employee and professional development, our library services, our beautiful facilities, and our strong relationship with our partners in the Clark College Foundation.
We also received five "recommendations" which echoed what we said in our self-study. We want to do a better job in terms of planning and evaluation – and reviewing our educational programs. We want to place even more emphasis on a protecting student records and providing advising and counseling services for our students. We also want to do a better job of defining and communicating what we mean by shared governance at the college.
Everyone who worked on our self-study deserves thanks.
I met with the accreditors last week to discuss their findings.
I promised them that we will continue to support the areas that they recognized with commendations – and we will continue to work to improve the five areas where the team provided recommendations.
We should receive their final report in another week or two. But I am confident that Clark College will receive full accreditation for the next ten years.
We'll stay focused on all these goals – and many more -- through strategic planning. Our institutional goals for the 2009-2010 academic year come from our self-study and the recommendations in it.
At the same time, we're finalizing our new five-year strategic plan. The plan encompasses feedback that we received from the community with an eye toward helping our students meet their educational goals. The new five-year plan will be in place on July 1st.
I hope that many of you were able to join us when we launched our 75th anniversary with events spanning 75 hours from October 1st through the 4th.
We received anniversary wishes from throughout the community…and the state.
During those special 75 hours:
- We gathered at the Chime Tower to sing "Happy Birthday."
We hosted a Penguin Oktoberfest for the community.
We welcomed runners (and walkers) for our annual K-ROD Walk/Run.
We unveiled a beautiful commemorative book about the history of the college (which you can find in our bookstore).
And we threw a switch to light the Chime Tower for generations to come.
We also welcomed back a legendary figure at Clark College as we dedicated our community room in honor of faculty emeritus, dean, vice president and interim president Ellis F. Dunn.
The members of our 75th anniversary planning committee worked tirelessly to make all of that happen. I want to thank them all.
And it was only possible because of donor support – friends of the college who gave dollars for this special event even though they were facing their own tight economic times this year. That says a lot about them – and the way that people in our community feel about Clark College. With their support – we have brought our anniversary by truly preserving the past, honoring the present and embracing the future.
Speaking of embracing the future: In May, we will open a time capsule created during the college's 50th anniversary. We will also dedicate a new one -- to be opened during the college's 100th anniversary celebration. You'll be hearing more about that in the weeks to come and I hope that you'll join us.
At the young age of 75, we're not resting on our laurels. Clark College is a top-notch institution. We offer excellent classes taught by outstanding faculty members. We have exceptional staff. We have stabilized our leadership over the past few years and our college climate continues to improve. Our Board of Trustees has been meeting regularly with board members from our K-12 partners.
I asked our leadership team to share some of the college's most recent accomplishments for this address. They reached out across their areas. Here are just some of the exciting things they proudly reported.
Last week, we held the first of two information sessions for our Running Start program. We'll be holding another one next week. That program is already breaking records. On December 31st, more than 1,300 Running Start students were enrolled at Clark College. That translates into the equivalent of more than 1,000 full-time students. We are now the largest Running Start program in the state of Washington. And, given the economic climate, we expect to keep breaking records.
We're also experiencing record numbers of students who are seeking financial assistance. Again, that's no surprise given the economic situation. We're only halfway through this academic year and we have awarded more than $25 million dollars to nearly 5,000 Clark students. That's more than we awarded during all of last year. The dollars that we invest in our students are another reason why Clark College is a great investment for our community and our state.
More students received Tech Prep credit this year – 637 to be exact. That's up 16 percent from last year. Tech Prep lets high school students earn credits toward degrees or certificates in business, construction, diesel, culinary arts and more.
We added a new career path this year through an associate degree in surveying.
In the past year, we held our first graduation for students in our medical radiography program.
Students in our nursing and dental hygiene programs continued to excel.
We've made strides in health and wellness – continuing our commitment from last year's State of the College event, when we launched our Healthy Penguin Nation Initiative. Our Mental Health Mondays series continues our focus on emotional wellness by attracting students and members of our community.
We've added new signage and lighting to make our main campus more inviting.
And, as you may have heard, a generous donor would like to gift a wonderful gift to the city of Vancouver – a Japanese garden. The city has generously reached out to Clark College as the proposed site. That's just one example of our strong partnerships with our regional governments. The feedback from the college community – and the community as a whole – has been strong and positive. Our beautiful cherry trees came to us as a gift during the Earth Day celebration in 1990. Our predecessors had the vision to embrace that gift and we are all the beneficiaries of that legacy. We now have the chance, during our 75th anniversary year, to do the same for the generations that follow us.
During the past year, we dedicated our beautiful new Gaiser Hall, which is home to our student services.
We also reopened this room, which was enhanced for our 75th anniversary through a special partnership among the college, our students, and our Foundation.
The Phoenix – our student literary and art publication – which earns national honors year after year -- was just named the top publication in the country in its category.
At Clark College at WSU Vancouver, students can now earn an Associate of Arts degree in two years by taking classes just two days per week.
We now have more than 1,000 students taking classes online through our eLearning program. The program has grown so much that Clark students can now earn a degree -- online.
Starting this fall, students will be able to earn a degree by taking classes on weekends.
As you can see, we're living up to our commitment: it's all about the student.
If you've driven on Mill Plain Boulevard near 192nd Street, you've seen how Clark College at Columbia Tech Center has sprung to life. That facility is on track to open this fall with classes for individuals, corporate training and more. Discussion and planning for this facility began more than 10 years ago. It's very exciting to see it coming to life. And mark this date on your calendar: October 1, 2009 – our 76th anniversary – is the date that we will dedicate that exciting new facility.
We're also continuing to take The Next Step for our future through planning for a new building for science, math, technology and engineering – we call it STEM. At this point, we're on track to receive design funding for that building during the next biennium. That means that construction would begin in 2011 with the building scheduled to open in 2013 at the corner of Fort Vancouver Way and Fourth Plain Boulevard.
Even longer term, we're looking at options for a new site in northern Clark County to better serve the residents in that part of our region.
We also take great pride in the classes offered at Clark College at Town Plaza – classes in adult literacy (reading and writing) and English as a second language. We're also offering basic skills classes in our community. We have new expanded services in the Columbia River Gorge at Skamania Work Source and White Salmon Work Source. We offer classes to help offenders at Larch Correctional Center turns their lives around.
The learning taking place in all of those sites is just another example of how we are changing lives – and how we are helping our community and our state during tough economic times.
Our original budget for this academic year was just over $51 million dollars. As the state has updated its revenue forecasts – all downward – we're looking at a 4.3% cut this year.
It has been challenging but our goal has been to trim our budget in a way that has the least impact on our students – in and outside of the classroom.
Everyone at the college has stepped up to make this happen. I especially want to thank our faculty members who voluntarily added nearly 400 seats in their classrooms to meet the needs of the students who came to Clark this quarter to pursue their academic journeys. Members of our student affairs team have put in long hours working to ensure that each student got the help he or she needed and got off to a good start this quarter.
Across the college, everyone area has stepped up to help. We have done it by doing what most people have done – we have tightened our belts. We cut travel. When positions opened up, we reviewed them carefully --one at a time. We've filled some positions that we felt were critical to our mission. We've left others open or being filled by other staff members at the college. And we've done it while still staying focused on quality – the quality of the student experience in everything we do.
As a result, we are close to our goal of achieving those 4.3% savings. But that's this year.
The governor's proposed budget features a 6% cut for community colleges over each of the next two years. That's a lot – but it's much better than the 20% cut that had originally been discussed.
In the toughest economic situation since our college was founded, Governor Gregoire
proposed a budget that acknowledges the important role that we play in our state.
That's a credit to the hard work that everyone does across the college in support
of our students. I know it. It's gratifying to know that the governor does too.
At the peak of the state's last economic downturn -- in 2002-03 -- 17,000 laid-off workers turned to community and technical colleges for retraining. Within a few months of completing college, 80% of these workers had returned to employment and nearly half of those were hired into jobs that paid higher wages than the jobs they lost.
Employment retraining programs got our citizens back to work in the last recession and community and technical colleges are ready to do it again. That's an important message that we'll be taking to our legislators in Olympia.
We want to remind them that colleges and universities are the economic engine that drives the state's economy and will drive our recovery.
When it comes to the budget, at this point, I am cautiously optimistic.
When it comes to the long-term future of our college, I am not just optimistic – I'm excited.
I'm excited to think about what the next 75 years will bring – not just for Clark College but for our community.
I know that our college will continue to play a vital role in our region's growth.
I know one thing more. Seventy-five years from now, we will still be able to proudly say that Clark College is a place where all things are possible because, at Clark College, it's all about the student.
Next week, America will inaugurate a new president.
During the campaign, President-elect Barack Obama told audiences that, "in a moment when people are finding it harder and harder to get ahead, it's time to call upon our community colleges once again."
In an economic address this month, he called for funding "to equip tens of thousands of schools, community colleges and public universities with 21st-century classrooms, labs and libraries" so that, as he put it, "our children have the chance to live out their dreams in a world that's never been more competitive."
On Tuesday, during his confirmation hearing, Arne Duncan, who has been nominated to be Secretary of Education, talked about the importance of community colleges in retraining young people and adults for emerging careers in today's challenging economy. As he put it, community colleges "play a huge role in getting people back to work."
From Olympia to Washington, D.C., our leaders clearly understand that community colleges play a vital role in the lives of our students and in the economic future of our country.
On November 4, President-elect Obama stood on a stage in a park in Chicago and reminded us that America is a place where all things are possible.
Those of us who work at community colleges know that's true because we see it every day. We see it in the thousands of men and women of all ages who come to us to earn a degree, get a certificate, or simply take a class to enhance their lives.
A lot has changed since we were founded in 1933, but the mission of Clark College has not.
Our founders brought higher education to Southwest Washington.
They opened a college at a time when few believed it could be done.
They focused on success for each and every student.
They believed passionately in a bright future for Clark College.
So do I.

Rafael Nadal ends 17-year-old's Australian Open run
Melbourne, Australia (4E Sports) – World No. 1 Rafael Nadal defeated 17-year-old home favorite Thanasi Kokkinakis, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2, Thursday to book a spot in third round of the Australian Open.
"He will have the chance to be a great player," said Nadal, after hitting 39 winners and breaking serve five times. "That's my feeling. He has everything to do it. He played two junior finals at Grand Slams last year, so he has a great future."
Kokkinakis, ranked No. 570 in the world, recorded his first Grand Slam victory when he beat Igor Sijsling in the first round and showed glimpses of his potential on Rod Laver Arena against 2009 Melbourne champion Nadal.
The 27-year-old Nadal, who is chasing his 14th Grand Slam title in Melbourne, will face Gael Monfils again in the third round, after the Frenchman defeated Jack Sock 7-6(2), 7-5, 6-2 in just over two hours.
Meanwhile, Andy Murray reeled off 23 straight points to win his second-round contest with Vincent Millot, 6-2, 6-2, 7-5. Murray Scot trailed 1-5 in the third set, but did not lose another point as he claimed victory in just over two hours.
In the third round, the 26-year-old Murray will take on Feliciano Lopez, who hit 43 winners in a 6-4, 7-6(6), 6-4 win over Michael Berrer.
Two of the ATP Tour's young guns will face off in the third round after Milos Raonic and Grigor Dimitrov both recorded straight-sets wins. Raonic defeated Victor Hanescu, 7-6(9), 6-4, 6-4, while Dimitrov beat Yen-Hsun Lu, 6-3, 6-3, 7-6(11).
No. 18 seed Gilles Simon came through another five-set tussle to reach the third round, beating Marin Cilic, 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-7(7), 6-1, 6-2, to advance against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut upset fifth seed Juan Martin del Potro 4-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5 in the second round of the 2014 Australian Open. He next faces 27th seed Benoit Paire in the third round.
On the women's front, second seed Victoria Azarenka beat Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, 6-1, 6-4, to advance to the third round of the event.
The 24-year-old Azarenka, who is eyeing to become the first women's player to win three Australian Opens in a row since Martina Hingis did it in 1997-99, will next face Yvonne Meusberger, a 3-6, 6-3,6-2 winner over No. 33 Bojana Jovanovski.
Also advancing were No.8 Jelena Jankovic, who rolled past Ayumi Morita, 6-2, 6-0, and No.13 Sloane Stephens, who won a see-saw with Ajla Tomljanovic, 3-6, 6-2, 7-5.
Other winners were No. 3 Maria Sharapova, No. 5 Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki, No. 11 Simona Halep, and No. 16 Carla Suárez Navarro.

"She was foxy in the '70s. Have you seen the pictures where she showed her little midriff?"
- Actress Jessica Chastain's thoughts on young Hillary Clinton, according to E! News. Chastain's name was floated (along with Reese Witherspoon's, Amanda Seyfried's and Scarlett Johansson's) to play Clinton in the upcoming biopic "Rodham." Chastain said over the weekend that the casting reports aren't necessarily true. "They just say these are the people we're considering asking. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean any of us have read the script, any of us have heard of the project," she said.

A luxury condominium building next to TD Garden in Boston would not include any parking spaces, setting up the first test of whether a city notorious for traffic-clogged streets is ready to embrace housing developments that discourage automobile use.
The proposed project, from Related Beal LLC, would have 175 units. Residents would rely on public transportation or park in an existing garage nearby. The condo plan is part of a bigger project by Beal that would include a new corporate headquarters for Converse Inc.

DENVER -- Wilson Chandler tied his career high with 35 points and gladly watched Ty Lawson take the game-winning jumper.
"We've got a lot of guys who can score," Chandler said after Lawson's shot with 0.2 seconds left lifted the Denver Nuggets to a 105-103 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night.
"I'm good whether it's in Ty's hands, both Dre's (Andre Iguodala and Andre Miller), Corey (Brewer), Gallo (Danilo Gallinari), whoever."
After shooting 13 for 19, Chandler said he was thrilled just to be such a big part of a big week for the Nuggets, who ran all over the Lakers, snapped a long losing streak in Portland and then capped it off with a thunderous win over the star-studded Thunder.
Guarded tightly by Thabo Sefolosha, Lawson swished his jumper from just inside the 3-point arc on the right wing. With no time to catch and shoot, the Thunder failed to get off a final tip attempt after their timeout.
"At the end they made a tough shot to beat us," said Kevin Durant, who tied it with a driving bank shot with 17.6 seconds remaining.
Miller inbounded to Lawson, who never gave up the ball. He said his shot was the only option: "I was going to take the last shot, make sure it was the last shot, either make it or we go to overtime."
Russell Westbrook scored a season-high 38 points and Durant had 25 for the Thunder.
"You give Oklahoma City any time to shoot, K.D. and Russell are big shot-makers and we didn't want to give them a chance," Lawson said. "We were going to go to overtime or win in regulation."
The combined 63 points from Russell and Durant were almost double the 34 points Denver's starters scored.
"They're tough guards," Chandler said, "so you want to make them take tough shots. It's like trying to stop the sun from shining -- just hope for a cloudy day."
With Gallinari back in the starting lineup after missing two games with a bruised thigh, Chandler went back to being the Nuggets' sixth man and he led a bench that outscored the Thunder's reserves 71-11
"Say what?" Durant replied. "Jeesh. We've got to do a better job of helping them out, give them a better cushion."
Of course, Chandler was responsible for more than half of the Nuggets' points off the bench.
"That's a great asset to have," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "That's one of the strengths of their team. They're deep, they have a lot of good players that play, a lot of skill players. Thirty-five points, you don't expect that. He stepped up when the moment was needed and he made big shots."
Not even Chandler could have expected to score 35 points, though.
"Honestly, I thought I'd have a pretty good night but 35? No," Chandler said. "I was playing in my rhythm and taking open shots."
Nuggets coach George Karl said: "Well, we owe this one to Wilson Chandler. He was great. We wanted to play small against their big lineup because Scottie always gets small against me. So, the substitution was earlier and quicker and then he has a great game."
Chandler logged 35 minutes to Gallinari's 22.
The Nuggets improved to 25-3 at the Pepsi Center, including 2-0 against Oklahoma City, which has lost five of its last six road games. Only the Miami Heat, at 26-3, are better at home.
Oklahoma City trailed 85-75 heading into the fourth quarter but tied it at 91 on Westbrook's fast-break basket with just under 6 minutes left.
Westbrook's free throw with 3:17 left gave the Thunder their first lead of the second half, 97-96.
The Nuggets came back to take a 101-99 lead on Miller's finger roll, but Durant's two free throws tied it again.
Lawson missed a jumper just inside a minute and Durant missed at the other end.
Chandler's layup with 22.4 seconds left gave the Nuggets a 103-101 lead and gave him 35 points, tying his career high set in 2010 for the New York Knicks against Sacramento.
After a timeout, Durant's bank shot tied it at 103 and Denver called a timeout with 17.6 seconds remaining, then put the ball in Lawson's hands.
NOTES: The Thunder had hit 94 per cent of their free throws (130 of 138) over their previous five games. They missed 10 of 34 attempts Friday night. Westbrook was 12 of 17 from the line -- same as the Nuggets. ... Denver C Timofey Mozgov played the final 0.2 seconds as Karl put his 7-footer on the inbounder. ... Durant played all but 21 seconds in the game and was never whistled for a foul, much to Karl's chagrin.

Sir Micheal Rocks – While You Wait…
Sir Micheal Rocks has truly grown and evolved as a solo artist, after gaining fame as one half of The Cool Kids alongside Chuck Inglish. His new mixtape offering "While You Wait", comes with much anticipation off the heels of his previous releases, "Lap Of Lux" and the semi-sequel "Lap of Lux 1.5″, which widened Rocks fanbase and was met with great acclaim. Will his winning streak continue?
Here are the SOHH 5 Reasons to download "While You Wait…"
1. Moving Forward
Although as a duo they may never record as The Cool Kids again, both members are still good and work together occasionally with Inglish providing beats to Rock's previous solo mixtapes. Sir Mike is signed to Curren$y's Jet Life Recordings which is distributed by Warner Bros Records, while Chuck Inglish has become an in demand producer working with the likes of Rick Ross and Kid Cudi. Sir Mike re-does a part of Jay-Z's opening bars of "Heart Of The City (Ain't No Love)", to describe the current Cool Kids situation.
"First Dip Set split up/
Now everyday I get up/
Somebody got something to say/
Like 'What's Up With You and Chuck?/
that still ya n*gga or what?/
And is that new Cool Kids on the way?'/
Then I tell em just wait/
The truth is I don't know it though/
But that's my brother till I am in the hole"

Paul is now part of the fourth generation in America that is involved in farming and hopes the next generation will be involved also. Through his blog he provides analysis and insight to farmer tax questions.
A reader asked the following question:
First, I think there is a very good chance that we will see 100% bonus depreciation sometime in 2012. However, we are dealing with politicians in Washington, D.C., and this decision may not get made until after next year's election. This is what happened in 2010. For planning purposes, we currently have 100% bonus depreciation for 2011 and 50% for 2012. Those are the numbers I would use for now.
Second, qualified real property relates more to retail lease space and restaurant property, etc. All farm buildings have either a 20-year life or perhaps a 10-year life for structures such as a hog confinement building. Under the section of the code dealing with bonus depreciation, all assets with a life of 20 years or less qualifies for bonus depreciation. So the bottom line answer is that farm buildings would qualify under President Obama's proposal.

Although I am fully aware that the Nyan Cat meme is about as old as Betty White in internet years, this ridiculous little two-week project was still a lot of fun, and was mainly for the purpose of determining how well I could pull off a wide range of musical styles in Logic. In a perfect world, this project would have been twice as long, but some genres are deceptively tough to reproduce with only a laptop at my disposal. In loving memory of Nyan Cat.
WARNING: There is a brief section about a minute in that makes use of a strobe effect. If you know you suffer from epilepsy, you may want to steer clear.

I say this is very cute and lovely I enjoyed it. I think you should make a sequel to this. If you want to that is you don't have to but it's very good and I think it well deserves the 5 stars I am giving it.

I love this to no end. It's so great. I lol'd pretty hard at the "on hold" part, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Nyanklok bit. It's a great idea, and even though the meme is ancient this is still a very fun and enjoyable thing to watch.
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 11, 2012
I loved it. The music was great, it all flowed together perfectly and the animations worked well with the music as well. I'm amazed that you did all this yourself personally, I mean, the music was awesome and the animation was perfect for it. Even the art as well! It's pretty damn impressive.

pretty epic.

At first I saw that it was Nyan Cat, and then I thought "what could be done with Nyan Cat that has not already be done? I don't think there is literally anything else."
I was wrong.
I thoroughly enjoyed a lot of the references in here, including the Metalocalypse reference. I especially loved the rave scene (I think it was a rave scene).

What kind of a title is "I Married a Witch"? It doesn't sound like a whimsically fantastical romantic comedy brimming with sly good-nature, does it? But that's precisely what this 1942 film is. The studio presumably was influenced by Rodgers and Hart's 1938 Broadway hit I Married an Angel, the M-G-M film version of which was released four months before "I Married a Witch" [Criterion].
The hidden credits of the film might help explain why it turned out to be so delightful. Director René Clair was new to Hollywood, but he was a giant of the French cinema with a string of innovative masterpieces to his credit (including "Sous les toits de Paris" and "À Nous la Liberté"). Clair came upon "The Passionate Witch," a posthumously-published novel by Thorne Smith. Smith is the first tip off; this is the same imagination that came up with Topper. (Topper is a conservative banker who is more or less adopted by two alcoholic ghosts, former clients who died in a car crash. The two novels were made into a delightfully screwball 1937 movie — with Cary Grant and Constance Bennett as the ghosts — and two sequels. There was later a popular sitcom version, starting in 1953.)
Clair brought the property to producer Preston Sturges at Paramount. Thus, the film has something of the Sturges touch and is filled with faces familiar from the so-called Sturges stock company. In fact, Sturges intended to rematch Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake, from his 1941 classic "Sullivan's Travels." McCrea refused to work with Lake again, so the male lead went to Fredric March. Sturges, for his part, turned out not to get along with Clair and left the film during production. By the time it was released, Paramount had sold it to United Artists.
The plot, not unexpectedly, tells of a man who marries a witch. But it is all in fun. In colonial New England, Jennifer (Lake) and her father (Cecil Kellaway) are burned at the stake, having been denounced by Woodley (who had been seduced by the exotically beautiful witch). Jennifer puts a curse on Woodley and his ancestors, fating them to centuries of unhappy marriages. Three hundred years later, the spirits of the two witches escape and return to wreak revenge on the current-day Woodley, who is running for governor. Jennifer tries to seduce him, but a magical potion backfires, and she ends up falling for him. Woodley's intended wedding is disrupted — there's an hysterical Sturges-like running joke in which a matronly wedding singer tries and tries to get through "I Love You, Truly" — and everything works out niftily. The film is a breezy 77 minutes and delightful throughout.
Lake became a star in "Sullivan's Travels" and was a popular World War II pin-up, noted for that peekaboo bang. After five or six years, though, alcohol took over and she soon washed out. She is altogether fine in "I Married a Witch," with something exotic about her performance. (She was born in Brooklyn.)

(FOX 11) In this edition of his Fox 11 Special, "Tony's LA" host Tony Valdez meets the people and takes us to the places that make Los Angeles so unique.
If you think the art of sign-painting is dead, think again. A new crop of students is learning the trade, and doing it the old-fashioned way.
"Today, right now, I've got two or three guys who are in court somewhere, right now, they should be in here but they're in court!" said Ralph "Doc" Guthrie of LA Tech Trade. "I'm like every fat, white, bald boss they ever had, I'm there to get the job done and they understand that."
You've just been introduced to "Doc" Guthrie. His mother called him Ralph. He teaches Sign Graphics at Los Angeles Trade Technical College.
"My brother and I graduated from this program in the middle 70s, we're perfect examples of what the programs here at Trade Tech are all about," he said.
"My brother and I worked for journeymen sign painters, learned and then opened our own business in the Bay Area and did it for 35-40 years and now I'm back teaching the same class."
So what's the most difficult letter to make?
"Hmm, I think all the curved strokes, all the rounded letters are pretty difficult," he answered.
These students are in the first year of the two-year sign program at Trade Tech. They are on the leading edge of a hand painted sign renaissance.
"It's not only an art, it's a science, you have to know the right letter forms, you have to know how to design a sign," Ralph said. "A lot of the themed restaurants, all the local theme parks, Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm have our graduates there because they know traditional skills, we teach gold leaf techniques which nobody does anymore and that's coming back."
Aspiring sign painters come here from as far away as South Korea because Trade Tech has a program that's not available anywhere else.
There aren't many women in this class, though.
"I think it's historically been a more male driven profession and historically more men are driven into trade schools but I think there's been a lot more awareness of sign painting lately," Ralph said.
In the process called pouncing, an electric pen burns small holes into a sign pattern to create a stencil. The stencil is put in place and a dark powder is forced through the holes, leaving behind a faint outline that the sign painter can follow to complete the project.
In a way that is not as subtle as pouncing, Ralph leaves his very distinctive imprint on students who come to his classes from every imaginable background.
"These guys come in with incredible skills, they have graffiti backgrounds, they have art backgrounds, there's no question that they can do the sign work, they're so good at it the blow me away all the time, what they can't do is what we euphemistically call 'life skills,' they can't show up on time, they can't call when they're going to be late, they don't always bring their tools; our whole two years is not about sign making or sign painting, it's about getting them ready to be employed and in many cases working for themselves."
Three blocks from Trade Tech is Letter Smith Design, owned by two of Doc's graduates. They've done work for Nike, LA Live and The Original Pantry among others.
Most recently they worked on the Dodger Stadium renovation project.
"We were a bunch of knuckleheads at first," said Peter Velasquez of Letter Smith Design."We just kind of landed in the class and we butted heads at first, this guy doesn't be quite about the same stuff over and over and it's so repetitive and then stuff started to sink in and as the class went on, it was like Dude, he's literally teaching us the real world."
Which means there's an emphasis on self-confidence and resiliency.
"We won't fail, you'll definitely have a unique sign that no one around here can provide," said Octavio Rangel of Letter Smith Design. "All you see now are digital and vinyl prints and those shops, there's probably a million of them here in LA but a shop like this one is the only one, which is us."
Ralph says "this is a fun job, if you're an artist this is a fun job, these graffiti guys they come in here, they're drooling, they're just drooling, 'my God, I can do this?' our old joke is that we change their hours from midnight to 8 to 8 to midnight, and instead of being arrested or shot, they get a pay check!"

There are few places as beautiful as the Northwest. It's probably why I can't think of any other place I'd rather live. I grew up in what used to be the small town of Gig Harbor, Washington, went to school in Pullman (Go Cougs) and spent a summer in Bellingham.
I've been with NorthWest Cable News since 1996. After a year covering stories in Boise, then another two years living and working in Portland, I moved to the Seattle area where I currently co-anchor the weekday mornings on NWCN and can also be seen on KING 5 News at Noon. Stories I've covered during my tenure include mudslides in Idaho, the New Carissa ship grounding in Waldport, OR and more whale stories than I could possibly imagine. I've found each part of the Northwest has its own stories, and its own flavor. It has afforded me an opportunity to see some great places and meet some wonderful people.
When I'm not working, you can usually find me working on my house or spending time with the family and our two dogs. I love projects, but also love to play. Winters on the mountain, summers on the water, and salmon fishing any chance I get.

Not a bad choice by Fal from Chicago, IL on 08/04/2001. Trim: 1998 Toyota Tacoma Regular Cab 2WD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I really like the truck. I live in the city and the tacoma is small enough to park which is a big advantage compared to other larger vehicles. It runs very well, with penty of power for a four cylinder. I towed 4000 pounds up the Apalachian Mountains on my way from North Carolina to Illinois with out a problem.
Cons: I have a rattle behind the seat, in the dash, and in my driver side door that drives me nuts.
Overall review: A good vehicle for someone who needs more than a suv but less than a full size truck.
