Bachelor of Arts Degree in Modern Language Studies
The major in Modern Language Studies addresses the growing need for students to prepare for the demands brought about by globalization and the increased national focus on international security. It provides the opportunity for UTSA students to graduate with an emphasis in a language area according to their individual career interests. It is designed to give students the opportunity to structure their program in a variety of concentrations, including double majors. By selecting the Modern Language Studies major, students receive a well-rounded humanistic education and prepare themselves for jobs requiring a flexible liberal arts degree, among them careers in government, national security, public service, teaching, international business, banking, international media, communications, tourism, foreign relations, and publishing. The Modern Language Studies major also develops skills, knowledge, and cultural awareness which provide a solid foundation for successful work in graduate studies in the humanities and social sciences, as well as in law and medicine.
The program includes three main components:
- The learning of a specific language
For this major, the student will move through three levels of proficiency. The first and second levels are completed with the basic four-semester sequence, Elementary I–II and Intermediate I–II courses in the chosen language. The third level is completed by taking 12 semester credit hours of upper-division coursework after successful completion of the basic sequence. A placement test will determine at which level of the sequence the student should start the study of a language.
- The linguistic theory underlying languages and language learning
The introductory linguistic course gives students a basis for more advanced theoretical approaches to language studies in general.
- The cultural component
A series of courses taught in English addresses the study of the literature and culture of each individual language taught in the program.
The courses in comparative studies address various issues related to several regions, periods and fields of study.
Each of these basic components can be augmented using the 18 semester credit hours of support work. By carefully preparing a plan of study with an academic advisor, students can tailor the concentration to their own needs.
The following optional components are strongly recommended:
- Study Abroad
Study abroad in the target language environment will give students the opportunity to further enhance their language and culture skills. Students are encouraged to include a semester or at least a summer abroad in their degree plan.
- Languages Across the Curriculum
1-semester-credit-hour language courses offered online (FL 3101) will complement the student's support area courses in other disciplines, such as history and political science. These add-on components will mirror the topics taught in the regular courses.
The minimum number of semester credit hours required for the Bachelor in Arts degree in Modern Language Studies, including the hours in the Core Curriculum requirements, is 120. Thirty-nine of the total semester credit hours required for the degree must be at the upper-division level. Students seeking teacher certification should consult the College of Education and Human Development Advising and Certification Center for information.
All candidates seeking this degree must fulfill the Core Curriculum requirements and the degree requirements, which are listed below.
Core Curriculum Requirements (42 semester credit hours)
Students seeking the Bachelor of Arts degree in Modern Language Studies must fulfill University Core Curriculum requirements in the same manner as other students. The courses listed below satisfy both degree requirements and Core Curriculum requirements; however, if these courses are taken to satisfy both requirements, then students may need to take additional courses in order to meet the minimum number of semester credit hours required for this degree. For a complete listing of courses that satisfy Core Curriculum requirements, see pages 3-5 of this catalog.

Course Sequence Guide for B.A. Degree in Modern Language Studies
This course sequence guide is designed to assist students in completing their UTSA undergraduate Modern Language Studies degree requirements. This is merely a guide and students must satisfy other requirements of this catalog and meet with advisors in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts Advising Center for individualized degree plans. Progress within this guide depends upon such factors as course availability, individual student academic preparation, student time management, work obligations, and individual financial considerations. Students may choose to take courses during Summer terms to reduce course loads during long semesters.

At 1:57 p.m. Oct. 24, the final song for Dave FM was Big Star's "Thank You Friends."
Thank you, friends
Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you
I'm so grateful for all the things you helped me do
Apropos and sweet.
Margot Smith, Dave's music director for its entire eight-year lifespan, will remain on sports talk 92.9/The Game as a producer. So she put the music mix together to the very end. In her mind, the final day of live jocks on Sept. 29 was really the last day with Butch Walker's "ATL" the final song. She didn't do anything special for the final hours today of the playlist though you could (over) read into some of the song titles she chose: "Don't Come Around Here No More" by Tom Petty. "With or Without You" by U2, "Dance Away" by Roxy Music, "Is There a Ghost" by Band of Horses, "Save Me" by Aimee Mann, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," Avett Brothers "Live and Die."
CBS Radio chose to kill off Dave in a most unusual way. Almost all radio station formats die like a mob hit. Unforeseen, (often) no warning, no goodbye, buried as if they never existed. CBS announced Dave's departure in late July and gave it three long months for the station to die. It was like the station was given three months to live, which gave the staff time to say goodbye, up to the final live jock day on 9/29 (picked on purpose). For the past month, the station has been on life support, just music and ads, no jocks. Overall, it was a classy, satisfying departure, however sad. This was the type of funeral every station wishes it could get.
Dave was named as such to be your friend. And though too many of Dave's buddies (as in, listeners) went away, causing his demise, he was a good friend while he lasted. Thanks for the memories.
Options for adult rock fans on the FM dial in Atlanta are pretty thin. A few of the groups heard on 92.9 are heard elsewhere but not in the mix that Dave had it and many groups will more or less disappear from the airwaves including Mumford & Sons and the Avett Brothers. Even if adult rock (or adult alternative as it's called in radio land) comes back to Atlanta, it may do so on an HD2 station in stripped down form or on a weak translator signal that doesn't reach very far. Besides your own music collection, if you have access to your smartphone music and can hook it into your car stereo system, you could access plenty of adult rock stations around the country. Or if you have Sirius/XM, the closest equivalent is the Spectrum.
So we must move forward. 92.9 lives on now as a sports talk station.
After a rather sentimental launch speech about how we became sports fans, 92.9/The Game began at 2 p.m. "It's more than a sports station. It's sports entertainment in the same passion you have for the game is in each and every one of us as well. Are you ready, Atlanta? Are you ready for the Game? Sports radio 92.9/The Game."
The first voice up was Carl Dukes, last heard in Houston. He introduced his team, former Pittsburgh Steeler Kordell Stewart and Rachel Baribeau.
Dukes is the lead guy and he helped shepherd in a bunch of the other staff members. Weekend folks such as Ryan Klesko, Sam Mitchell, Chuck Smith (who was on V-103 at one point many years ago), Dennis Scott and Bob Neal. He brought in the morning show, which is Rick Kamla, Randy Cross and C.J. Simpson.
The emphasis is how the talk station won't just be about sports but also about life and entertainment. I'm sure, though, that in reality, they will still stick heavily with sports.
First big name guest was the Hawks' forward Josh Smith at 3:40 p.m.

I've got… like 24 FM presets available to me on my radio. I only use about 9.
Now that Rush is on WSB 95.5 FM… I don't use any of my AM presets.

Stews still under contract to LFM – it wil be awhile before they surface in the ATL or anywhere for that matter. Contracts can be a beeach but they are getting paid.

Under NO circumstances will I ever listen to Chuck Smith…He's what killed AM790 a few years back when Shapiro got the bright idea to break up Chuck Oliver and Matt Chernoff just to get a jock's perspective during football season…After football season, Smith brings NOTHING to the table, just like David Pollack.

Good grief . The next notch up on the radio , 93.7 , is sports talk . This really is awful . Could Atlanta radio get any worse ? One can only hope some other station will fill the Dave FM void . They had the best playlist of all the commercial radio stations .

First 96rock turned into project 96.1 and now whatever it is now.
Z-93 (ok, yeah, it was top40 once) turned into Dave-FM and now into what it is not.
Not sure whether I should feel sad that I was one of the many who abandoned the FM dial for satellite and this is the result, or glad that I had the foresight to see how it would turn out anyway.

He deserves much, much better than this [Feces] Bomb of a radio lineup and format, as do the good citizens of Atlanta.
Heck! Even the bad citizens of Atlanta, like Steak Shapiro and Cynthia McKinney, deserve better than this station.
October 24th, 2012
5:17 pm
Essentially, new music in Atlanta is gone. Sirius/XM is one alternative, though it sounds AWFUL. In addition to The Spectrum, try The Loft. Great station! I've found many new groups to listen to on that station. Pandora is another option. Make up your own stations! You will hear new music there as well…..But not on ATL FM. It's dead.
October 24th, 2012
5:18 pm
@Rodney Ho. Are the 2 Live Stews still on the Radio?
October 24th, 2012
5:21 pm
Michael no Stews for you. maybe on a golf course near you!! that they can do cause no commercials/promos that they have to read.
October 24th, 2012
5:25 pm
Dave FM was far from perfect, but it was best in the city and will be missed. At least it was allowed to depart with some grace.
Now that the ATL FM dial is overly saturated with sports talk and pop, hopefully all the competition will cause some of these stations to fail and potentially bring in a new station that plays something close to quality music, of which there current is none on commercial FM radio here.
October 24th, 2012
5:42 pm
And that's probably the ONLY time they played a Big Star song… Good Riddance.
October 24th, 2012
5:45 pm
I listened to a bit and it's awful, boring, and not very compelling. Not to be mean, but it sounds like two black ex-jocks droning on about sports. And Rachel Baribeau has the most annoying voice I've ever heard. I won't be back to the Game.
October 24th, 2012
6:10 pm
Already taking jabs at the other sports stations. Atlanta's only 24 hour sports station. Let's see how long that lasts. There is a reason 680 and 790 switch over after 7. That being said, I hope the morning show covers other sports and actually talks sports not what upscale restaurant they ate at last night or how they were hanging with the boys in Vegas a few weeks ago.
October 24th, 2012
6:13 pm
On first listen I was not impressed; a big yawn.
October 24th, 2012
6:18 pm
92.9 was the one local station I had programmed that was not XM / Sirius.. Looks like I need to find another option. Sad to see it go….
October 24th, 2012
6:27 pm
Only turned because I was on AJC.com and saw this blog.
-The update guy is God awful
-The woman in the afternoon is absolutely clueless
-Kordell Stewart sounds like he suffered concussions
People who make money and spend money are in bed or at home after 8 PM. Why would you need 24 hours of live sports? Heck, ESPN shows reruns late at night. Sounds like a waste of a lot of money.
October 24th, 2012
8:07 pm

I am as big a sports fan as there is.
However, if this 92.9 THE GAME were an unborn fetus, I would change my stance on abortion.
Frankly, after what I heard from it on the drive home this evening, I would even take a wire coat hanger to it.
Michael Vick was kinder to his dogs than this station's content was to my mind and ears.

I've been listening to Dave even more than usual the past few months. The music they've played the past couple of weeks has been fantastic, so its even harder to say goodbye. I didn't realize The Game would start at 2 and when I flipped the radio on at 2:20 I was soooooooooo sad I didnt get to hear the last few songs. Wahhh. Bye Dave FM, I will miss you greatly.
October 24th, 2012

October 25th, 2012
12:15 am
Although I wasn't "up" on DAVE-FM when it first started, I still returned often, having listened to the previous incarnations. Mix of old and new; yes, some of us old folks do like to hear the new stuff, and make our own opinion. As far as going to all-sports, why not do it in Spanish…maybe they'd get a bigger audience (oh, sorry, maybe I'm being racist there).
October 25th, 2012
7:08 am
at 7:00 A.M. Thursday, the 25th, sounded like a Bert show wanna be…turned it off after about 10 minutes…don't worry 680, no threat!
October 25th, 2012
8:02 am
One affect with the new radio station is the 790 the Zone lost their channel 46 TV show on the weekends. They have been replaced by the 92.9 staff. The station will take a year to get settled but CBS is putting a lot money into all the sports station nationwide. I have listened to the station in Tampa and they are going hire professional radio hosts not their friends or their roommates that cut their rent after their wives filed for divorce. The station owners are not going to their parents to start a station or to bail them out of their debt. I also don't expect them to recycle old talent either. Which means the Steward brothers are not joining the station. Plus, it did not help when Ryan sued the NFL for head injuries. ESPN fired both brothers after that happened.
The bottom line is the local sports radio hosts are boring and have run out of material. It's time to get new blood on the radio waves.
October 25th, 2012
9:02 am
The morning show sounds horrible. How do you basically have a caller at 7:56 ramble on for about 5 minutes like it is his show. Justifing why the city is a bad sports town. Not to mention they never answered 1 of the 3 questions that he had. Went to break came back bearly answered one then went to break again 3 minutes later. No show to this point has been good on the ears. The shows don't seem planned at all. Like its college radio, all stream of thought. The station has a whole seems to lack show structure. Every show has spent way too much time since they launched either begging for listeners or trying to sell you on who they are and their credentials.
October 25th, 2012
9:18 am
No love for Album 88 or WREK? I would imagine folk who don't want to invest in sattelite radio or iPoding would head there. It'll be interesting to see if either gets a slight bump in the coming weeks now with Dave completely gone.
I wonder if anyone is going to pick up the Little Steven Show? There is the Underground Garage XM channel, but I know the syndicated show is still ongoing.
I do think, however, that 99x may return from the dead yet again in a less aggressive leaning format. Possibly even closer to its early, almost freeform format- now that it would not have to include the Disturbed, Seether, or Nickelback types in its playlist.
BTW, currently occationally listening to BBC 6 Music- which always felt like where Dave was trying to go.

Turn It Up (Single)
by Paris Hilton
Released: Jul 2006
Label: Warner Bros.
"Don't be afraid to turn it up," Paris implores. And when you do, you'll hear Scott Storch's big bass drums punctuated by synth stabs, squeaky vocals and "sexy" moans. It's the well-tested formula for dance floor euphoria, even if the heiress' vocals are a little limp. Still, when Hilton, officially the queen of the fledgling micro-genre of debutante dance hop, promises, "I'm going to lose my clothes," she sounds supremely convincing.

Anyway, I don't think it was fate, it was a choice. Alice's vision changes when people's choices change, right? Meaning the future always changes. So, I think it's becuase of Bella's choice that made the whole thing impossible. She might have loved Jacob for his warmness and brotherly way, but in the end she chose Edward's looks and love for her. And anyway, I'm team Bella, so I really like her decision. She made the right choice by choosing someone she truly can't live without.
I'm thinking your on Team Edward, but can't we believe in things like that? Can't we write fanfics about it? Why wouldn't we? It's our freedom to do that if that's what we want.
Edward isn't bad at all.

PikPok release first club branded version of Flick Kick … Flick Kick Chelsea
Flick Kick Football (the best iPhone game EVER) gets the Chelsea smile treatment - the Chelsea FC version includes the expected blues re-skin, but also is set at Stamford Bridge and features club trivia.
No doubt the first of many club branded versions - smart move PikPok, hats off to ya.
Flick Kick Chelsea is 59p on App Store.
The world's most basic sports game - kick (flick) the ball between the posts for the extra point. You get a set number of kicks from different lengths. Fun for the first few goes, but becomes repetitious and boring pretty quickly. It feels like one moment of a bigger, better game.
If kicking balls between posts is your thing, be sure to check out Flick Kick Rugby. This is the one to get. There's even an American Football version available too (instead of the rugby theme) in the form of Flick Kick Field Goal.
Super Football Kick 3D is free on App Store.

April in the Books - Pending Pipeline Strong For Future Reports
A: With April in the books, lets take a look at how Manhattan produced in the month and how it compares to past April performances and where we came from since March. With the market continuing to see a very strong pace of new deal volume, the pending pipeline of closings will likely power solid Q2 and Q3 reports -- Due to the lag in ACRIS filings, I would put my money on Q3 being the 2012 report that truly captures what Manhattan is experiencing right now in the field. Lets discuss and quantify these statements with charts.
First, lets take a look at how many contracts Manhattan managed to produce in the month of April, 2012 -- and how that compares to past April's going back to 2008:
Now, lets break down how the month of April performed compared to past April's, and see how much supply we had at month's end -- we should always look at pending sales in relation to active supply trends because the two are related.
Quick Tip: If supply rises big time and the market produces 1,164 new deals (as it did in April), it's not as strong a market signal than if supply fell big time and still managed to produce the same amount of new deals signed! In the case of rising supply conditions, more inventory somewhat mutes the effect of rising deal volume. Whereas in tight inventory conditions, it will get more & more difficult for the market to sustain monthly deal volume this high; higher than 1,100+ new deals signed a month which is a very strong pace.
APRIL New Deal Vol Since 2008 - Active Supply at the Time
April 2008 --> 1,182 new deals signed - 7,072 active units for sale at time
April 2009 --> 642 new deals signed - 9,455 active units for sale
April 2010 --> 1,150 new deals signed - 7,791 active units for sale
April 2011 --> 1,006 new deals signed - 7,886 active units for sale
April 2012 --> 1,164 new deals signed - 6,905 active units for sale
It really helps to put our market trends in perspective when you look at both supply and demand trends in relation to each other, over time.
Now, lets take a look at monthly new supply for Manhattan since 2008:
This monthly new supply bar chart since 2008 should clearly show you how since late 2010 (red bar), Manhattan has seen less supply to come to market on a monthly basis for every month except February of 2012! In other words, current tight inventory conditions are a function of new supply trends for the past 18 months! This did not happen overnight.
This is probably why buyers out there continue to bid, and bid aggressively, for quality product that comes to market at a reasonable price. Add in that equity markets recently reached a 4-year high and you don't have that fear & uncertainty that typically motivates a whole new class of sellers to list property for sale to either a) liquidate to raise $$, b) sell what is perceived as a near term depreciating asset, or c) sell out of general market fear.
I'm not saying its party time again and prices are higher than peak in 2007, they are not, Im simply reporting on real-time production data and how we got here over the past few years. Price discovery on deals signed in April will likely become available between mid-June and September. Generally speaking, certainty and confidence are very important buy side characteristics that take years to shape, and that's exactly what happened to Manhattan property buyers over the last 3+ years. So don't be surprised to see a pop in median/avg sales price trends in the Q3-2012 report that will be released on October 1st.
It is what it is, and I'll still be surprised if we can keep up this pace of producing over 1,000+ new deals signed as we head into June given tight inventory conditions and fewer new listings coming to market on a monthly basis. But, until anything changes the Manhattan market continues to experience a very active start to 2012 that will power strong Q2 and more likely, Q3 reports. Cheers!
I find it sometimes missing when looking at pending sales to active units. At least from a trend stand point, would be interested in seeing sales to additional active units. Are sales exceeding new listings or lagging number of new listings?
Interesting question posted above.
When I look at the graph of "Active Units", I see that it is relatively flat for the past few months.
Is Active Units equivalent to inventory? Does it go up when new listings are posted, and down when there is a pending sale, or a listing goes off-market?
Does the fact that it is flat mean that units are being sold or are going off-market at about the same pace that new listings are being added?
dc10023 - when you say sales, do u mean actually closings or pending sales counts per month?
ms - Yes it is an interesting question, and we used to have a Active to Pending Sales ratio chart that we removed years ago because with 2 metrics with two data methodologies, it would be unfair to relate the two on a 1:1 ratio. With that said, when we did have the ratio, it was very interesting because it accurately was able to pick out when a notable market shift was ongoing, and when one was more seasonal in nature. We might bring it back.
As for your other questions:
1) Is Active Units equivalent to inventory -- assuming you are asking about the chart in the discussion above. No, that count of New Active Units per month simply tallies up how many a) brand new listings came to market and, b) how many off-mkt listings came back on market for each month going back to 2008. It does not rise or fall with pending sales, rather it only rises and falls with the amount of supply that comes to market on any given month
It affects total Manhattan inventory levels, which we show as 6,925 right now in Manhattan, but so does the pace of pending sales and the pace of off-mkt trends, as u mention.
So basically, Total Manhattan Inventory which is at 6,925 right now is affected by:
a) pace of monthly new supply, which we show as 1,624 for April
b) pace of new deals signed, which we show as 1,164 for April
c) pace of listings taken off-mkt, which we show as 461 for April
a) active listings that are not updated within past 30 days fall out of counted inventory
b) active listings that are 2yrs on market fall out of counted inventory
At all times the front end is bringing in fresh data as stale data falls out of the tail end in addition to monthly pace of new supply, new deals signed, and new listings removed from market.
Add it all up and you have the +- net change in inventory per day.
Either pending sales or actual closings. As they should generally be a one-to-one relationship (hopefully).
One way to look at sales as a % of inventory, but the other way is to look at new delivery of product and what happens to them. (Net new active listings vs how many goes off-market and how many get sold)
So we hear about increased sales but flat active listings. But what I see from your April numbers is more than quarter of new supply is matched by listings taken off the market. How are those numbers in Jan, Feb, Mar.. in May?

Not to much has been said here about birth fathers. I believe my blogging buddy touched on it yesterday and thought I would share a little with you about my birth father. For me my birth father is someone that I will probably never know. I have tried to find him but with the lack of information and knowledge it makes it very difficult. My sister and I have talked with everyone that we possibly could think of and no one seems to know. I have had some solid leads but none of them ever panned out.
The first lead we had was when my sister talked with her dad about my existence. When he met me for the first time, he acknowledged that there was a possibility that he could be my birth father. We went through DNA testing and the results showed that he was not.
Several years later I tried again. I had tracked down friends that my birth mother went to school with using photographs that were shared with me by my birth mothers family. One day, I received a call from a woman that claimed she was best friends with my birth mother until she died and she didn't know of my existence. At any rate, she gave me a mans name that could possibly be my birth father. To keep a long story short, he had passed away 3 months earlier. I obtained the obituary and contacted one of his three daughters that happened to live ½ hour away from me. We talked until wee hours of the morning and less than 48 hours later we had met.
After our meeting, we both believed that we were sisters. The physical resemblance of myself in her family was noticeable. We both needed something more concrete so we decided to go through DNA testing. Once again, the results were that she and I were not sisters which meant her father is not my birth father.
After that day, I let it go. I haven't pursued trying to locate him. The doors are open in the event that he would like to find me if he even knows about me.
I have though about my birth mother and the circumstances surrounding why she surrendered me to adoption. Society was different in 1970 and being a single mother was frowned upon. There are times that I am not so sure whether or not she knew who my birth father was. If she did, she took that information to the grave with her. He might not even know for that matter. In my mind, I know that I have exhausted all possible avenues for locating him. My original birth certificate lists him as unknown as well as al the court records. When I read her testimony in court, she stated that she didn't know who he is. Grant you that birth mothers of that era or advised to not name or list the birth father even if they did know so any reliable conclusions really can't be made.
I have come to accept that I will not know my birth father and that if it is meant to be, he will find his way to me.

Sioux Falls, S.D. (KELO AM) - You remember walking down the street hearing the local band practicing in someone's garage or going to a local establishment to hear them play. You didn't see many of these bands appear on American Bandstand or even get play on the local radio station, but hearing them made life better and created good lifelong memories.
"We are already planning our April 12, 2014 concert and we are looking of eligible groups to be nominated," said John Mogen, Board Member, South Dakota Rock and Roll Music Association (SDRRMA). "We have inducted a lot of groups from the 1950s and many of those members are gone, so now, we are reaching into the 1960s and 1970s."
Mogen said, if people have a band in mind, it helps if they have a biography, posters, photos and even recordings. It helps to know who the other members of the band were and what part of South Dakota they traveled.
"Everyone grew up with a band that they loved to hear," said Mogen. "This is going to be our sixth year that we transform the RamKota into a big teen dance with a bunch of 60 to 70-year-old people dressed up in their era get-ups dancing to the music; and it is a gas. We have had a lot of good groups nominated from our past, but we are always looking for more."
Mogen said, the SDRRMA is located on the second floor of the Washington Pavilion. There are a lot of old records, jukeboxes and many memories to make you feel like a teenager again.
"Bobby Vee was the first out-of-state nominee and Myron Lee and the Caddies was the first in-state band to be nominated because they were huge and traveled with Dick Clark," said Mogen. "Again, the event is huge and it sells out every year."
"We are looking for bands that had some longevity were well traveled and had recorded," said Mogen. "If bands had a following and people remember them, it helps in the nomination. People should give as much information as possible which will help us determine if a band is worthy."
Mogen said, the nomination information is on the SDRRMA website at www.sdrrma.com and the address is 5329 W. Pritchard Dr., Sioux Falls, SD, 57106.
John Mogen was interviewed on the Greg Belfrage Show, August 12, 2013.

TREASURE COAST -- Residents of the Treasure Coast were busy in November not only stuffing turkeys, but shoeboxes, as well.
The shoeboxes are part of Operation Christmas Child. Every year, volunteers from local churches, youth groups and community clubs fill shoeboxes with toys, school supplies and more for children in need overseas.
"While the program focuses its efforts around the Christmas season, children all over the world receive these shoeboxes year round," said Paula Grossmann, area coordinator for the Treasure Coast.
Children in more than a dozen countries will receive the boxes donated here on the Treasure Coast, including those in Belize, Ecuador, Ghana, India and Madagascar. In all, children in more than 100 countries will receive the shoeboxes.
Collection sites in Fort Pierce, Stuart, Port St. Lucie and Okeechobee received approximately 14,000 shoeboxes from the community. Volunteers take the shoeboxes and place them in larger shipping boxes, where they travel to a processing center in Atlanta, one of 11 in the United States.
"Last year, the organization collected 7 million shoeboxes," Ms. Grossmann said. "This year, Operation Christmas Child will see the delivery of 100 million shoeboxes."
Ms. Grossmann is not only active in collecting the boxes, but in distributing them, as well.
"I will be traveling to Kenya at the end of April to help hand out boxes there," she said.
At the collection site in Fort Pierce, more than 900 shoeboxes were donated last year. This year, shipping cartons sat stacked by the door as a call came in that 200 more shoeboxes were on their way from donors.
"We are seeing more and more people donating," said Carolyn Swayze, a volunteer for the collection site at Indian River Presbyterian Church in Fort Pierce. "It's wonderful to see it at this level."
To learn more about Operation Christmas Child, call Ms. Grossmann at (772) 336-3663 or go online to www.samaritanspurse.org.

The Trouble with Chickens
Reading Level: Grades 2-4
Jonathan Joseph Tully, a retired Search and Rescue dog, is hired by worried mother Millicent to find her two missing chicks, Poppy and Sweetie – but this SAR mission is not as simple as it seems.
The Trouble with Chickens is the kind of book that will make you stop and read aloud hilarious sentences to anyone nearby. Cronin has taken a very simple missing-child mystery and turned it into something much denser. Younger readers may not fully appreciate all the humor of J.J.'s detective style, but will certainly find themselves immersed in the mystery from the first page.

When ten-year-old Lucinda's parents decide to travel to Italy for a year, they drop Lucinda off at a sort of temporary orphanage in New York.

Lucinda's cheerful nature and desire for every single one of her friends to experience happiness and good fortune seeps off the page and into your heart in this beautifully told 1937 Newbery winner.

The Montreal Canadiens' waiver claim of Blair Betts has been reversed and the 31-year-old forward is back in Philadelphia.
Montreal team doctors performed a physical examination of Betts and determined that he was physically unfit to play. The team asked the league to void the waiver claim, which was granted by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
"While it is clear that both clubs have acted in good faith in this unique situation (i.e. a waiver claim), I am not prepared to dispute the conclusion of the Montreal Club doctors that Mr. Betts was physically unfit to play at the time of the claim," Bettman said in a statement. "Therefore, it is my decision that, per League By-Laws, the appropriate resolution to this matter is to restore the parties to the position they were in prior to the waiver claim on Oct. 5."
Betts, who was claimed on waivers from the Flyers on Oct. 5, injured his shoulder in the 2009-10 playoffs and it continued to bother him last season.
Last week, Betts told the Montreal Gazzette that the shoulder injury was behind him.
"The shoulder's just fine," Betts told The Gazzette. "I have a lower body injury and the club decided that they wanted to check things out. If it was my decision, I'd be playing but I respect what they're doing and I hope that I'll be in the lineup in Winnipeg."
Betts didn't play in the Canadiens' season opener in Toronto because of what the team described as a lower body injury.
The Edmonton native has 41 goals and 78 points in 477 career NHL games with the Calgary Flames, New York Rangers and Flyers. He had five goals and seven assists in 75 games last season.
Betts has one year remaining a contract that will pay him $700,000.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Aromatically the wine offers seductive notes of dark cranberries, cola and raspberries. The mouth-feel is lush, round and silky-smooth. The forward fruit character is further enhanced by toasted chestnut and leather aromas. The interplay of these components balanced by its refreshing acidity make for an incredibly hedonistic Pinot Noir. Perfect food pairings include roasted leg of lamb, wild mushroom risotto or truffled mac and cheese.

Bakers pays tribute to former London chief Russell Lewin
Readers' comments (6)
RIP Russell, what a lovely man he was, so kind and always had time for people. Sad loss to his wife and children. God bless.
I was an associate at Baker & McKenzie from 1977 till 1984, and worked with Russell on several matters from his first day at the firm as a trainee in 1981 until my departure three years later. Not only was he an excellent lawyer who had no difficulty in grasping difficult points, but he was a pleasure to work with. I know that he will be sorely missed by his many friends, clients and colleagues around the world.
I worked with Russell for many years at B&M. He was exactly as Michael Hart describes - a delightful, larger than life character who was a natural leader and great fun too. Russell had great instincts and was an intuitive leader.
I was with him on 7/7 when London transport was bombed. Russell did not go home early - he stayed and hosted a B&M marketing conference not just because he was always an exceptional host but because he wanted to make a personal statement of defiance against terrorism. During the course of that evening he predicted that Londoners would recall the Blitz and stand quietly unbowed. Russell personified that principled stand.
Poor guy. To die at 51 is such a waste. Lets hope he lived (and enjoyed) a full life. When you read articles like this it puts everything into perspective.
I was lucky enough to have learned from and to have worked with Russell and I suspect like many who did, I counted him as a friend, confident and guru. If my reaction to this untimely news is anything to go by his loss will be felt deeply by all. He will be remembered as a kind and generous soul who will remain in some way a part of all our lives.
My condolences to his family and friends.
I was updating my CV, trying to remember B&M's address, when I came across the sad news.
I was a "mature" candidate just coming out in the mid-90s London gay scene - not long after the Chicago office had famously been rocked by a major sexual harassment suit, when Russell interviewed me for a highly coveted training contract.
Against all advice about joking in interview, when asked, "why B&M?" I responded with a crack that I'd heard they'd had a few vacancies in Chicago.
Russell laughed - and I got the job.
Bless him for giving an over-aged smart-arsed lesbian a break.
Sincere condolences to his family and his colleagues.

STOLEN NIGHTS by Rebecca Maizel
A Vampire Queen Novel
A new year is beginning at Wickham Boarding School. A new chance at life, at reversing the evil in my past. But nothing is ever as simple it seems...
Last year, the love of my life died performing a ritual to fulfill my one wish and make me human. And now I've performed the same ritual for my friend Vicken – and survived. Why am I here, back safe on Wickham campus?
The strong magic I used in the ritual did more than just make Vicken human. It drew someone to Lover's Bay who does not belong here. She wants the ritual. Then she wants me dead. And she will take down any and everyone in my life to get what she wants.
As if that weren't enough, the ritual has also summoned the anger of the Aeris, the four elements and most fundamental powers on earth. They have a surprise and an unbearable punishment for me – like stepping into the sun for the first time, only to be put into a cage. And now I have to make an impossible choice – between love or life, yearning or having, present or past…
