In what can only be seen as a devastating blow to the Wisconsin recall's effort to remove Governor Scott Walker from office, the leading newspaper of the state has published an endorsement stating the controversial Republican should keep his job.
"Even if you disagree with Walker's policies, does that justify cutting short his term as governor? And if so, where does such logic lead? To more recall elections? More turmoil?" asks the editorial board. "It's time to end the bickering and get back to the business of the state. We've had our differences with the governor, but he deserves a chance to complete his term. We recommended him in 2010. We see no reason to change that recommendation. We urge voters to support Walker in the June 5 recall election."
The main reasoning behind the endorsement appears to be a fear that once one recall happens, if it is successful, no politician would ever be safe to do a full term again. And for the JS, who makes excuses for the Governor for everything from failure to create jobs to being "overzealous" at trying to break unions, it's nothing worth kicking him out of office over. "[W]hile we think Act 10 – the law that clipped the wings of most public-employee unions in the state – was an overreach of political power, we understand and supported the need to rein in the state's labor costs."
The recall election is June 5th.

Carl O, I agree with most of your post. But Gray Davis was recalled as Governor of California.
Davis was wrongly blamed for energy costs which skyrocketed when companies like Enron withheld resources to create an artificial shortage.
The Milwaukee Sentinel Journal's premise to endorse Scott Walker is blatantly incorrect. They suggest that if Walker is recalled it will lead to more recalls and more turmoil. I wholeheartedly disagree. Other governors have had difficulties in office like California governors Gray Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger who both left office with the states finances in very poor shape but were not recalled. The reason that they were not recalled was because they campaigned on their visions for the state and even though their performances may have been lackluster or even poor they worked very hard to honestly implement their visions. Walker on the other hand was recalled becasue he had an agenda that he did share with the electorate. He campaigned on a vision for the state that he had no intention of carrying out. That in my book is dishonesty and misrepresentation and the electorate has a right to recall an elected official if they feel that they were sold a false set of goods. The American people will give you the benefit of a doubt if you are honest with them. Walker wasn't from the start. Six of Walker's former aids and associated have been charged with 15 felonies and 3 misdemeanors. And Walker is putting together a large legal defense fund. Under Wisconsin statute it is my understanding that an elected official can only start amassing a defense fund if he has commited a crime, believes that he will be charged with a crime or is paying for the defense of crimes. And y
What in the name of common sense have these people got for brains? This man is a born dictator and a hatemonger. With people like this, it isn't any wonder we have governmental officials and candidates out to get us while kissing the a**es of the wealthy..
I just love "devastating blows", don't you?
No - of course you don't - unless you believe in liberty and the right to work. Unless you oppose FORCED unionism which is nothing more than robbing workers blind for political purposes.
Go Scott Walker! Your victory will start the ball rolling for a national right to work law.
And about time!
Wisconisin the badger state. Home of the cheeseheads. Badgers are small angry, vicious little animals in the weasel family. Sounds like Scott Walker doesn't it. It looks like the cheesesheads are going to re-elect the weasel. Very sad because they had a chance to right a wrong and take out somoene who did not do what he promised, create jobs for the state of Wisconsin. Instead the state of Wisconsin is last in job creation. And Scott Walker has worked non-stop to destroy, voter rights, worker rights and women's rights. If the Wisconsinites are crazy enough to re-elect him they desreve what they will get.
The corporate editorial board is pro-Walker and against unions. No big surprise.
Bad politicians should not be allowed to finish their term. In fact, it should be easier to get rid of them. I would not buy another newspaper from this company or buy anything from their advertisers. There are several or more current governors and other office-holders who should be carried out of the building, locked out of their offices, and restricted from holding another office. That's how bad they are. Of course, Scott Walker is one of these.
"The main reasoning behind the endorsement appears to be a fear that once one recall happens, if it is successful, no politician would ever be safe to do a full term again."
Duh, isn't that why we have recalls so politicians "don't feel safe"? Dumb asses.

|First nations heritage sites include archaeological sites as well as other places of spiritual importance that do not necessarily have any physical marker. Archaeological sites consist of the physical remains of past human activity and are essential to understanding and appreciating the cultural history of British Columbia (BC Archaeology Branch). In the Gulf Islands shell middens are found along much of the coastline and represent the remaining physical record of villages or harvesting camps. Other archaeological sites include but are not limited to petroglyphs, burial caves, rock cairns, and fishing weirs (Cassidy, Acheson, & Claxton, 1975). Coastal areas that are desirable locations for towns and homes today are often the same places that were used by past cultures for their settlements. In the past, few people, developers, governments, or citizens, were concerned about damaging or destroying these sites, and many are lost forever. This damage to archaeological sites continues today; one need only think of Poets Cove on South Pender Island to realize that more needs to be done to prevent the destruction of these sites that can be of high cultural and spiritual importance to first nations people, and also hold the key to a better understanding of the past (McLay, 2004, p. 13). Once lost, they are lost forever. Protecting archaeological sites is not just about preserving history or adding to the archaeological record, but it is also about maintaining connections to important places for cultures that are very much alive. It is not just about a "culture", it is about families and individual people, alive today, who have inherited the stories of these places and who remain connected to them as part of their identity (Thom, 2005). Many archaeological or other heritage sites have been destroyed or significantly altered by modern development, and it behooves local governments, who now have the tools available to identify conflicts between proposed developments and archaeological sites, to do what they can to contribute to their protection. First nations heritage sites are found across the landscape of North America, and they are particularly concentrated in the Gulf Islands of coastal British Columbia (McLay, 2004). Many of these sites have been destroyed or damaged due to insensitive development and ignorant or careless members of the public, despite their legislated protection. The Islands Trust is the local government for these islands, and is wellpositioned to contribute to the improved protection of first nations heritage sites through the development approval and land use planning process. Numerous first nations in the Islands Trust Area have already entered into relationships with the Islands Trust with the aim of working together on issues of mutual interest such as the protection of heritage sites. A significant example is the Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group (HTG) that represents six first nations in the Trust Area and is in the process of developing a protocol agreement with the Islands Trust specifically for the protection of heritage sites. The Islands Trust planning staff is currently involved in protecting archaeological sites in the Trust Area by alerting landowners to their presence when applications for development are submitted. However, planners are experiencing some uncertainty over what steps are legal requirements or ethically desirable, and what specific procedures should be followed when processing applications, preparing staff reports, and communicating with landowners and first nations in order to protect archaeological sites. There is concern over an added workload for already busy planning staff, that applications will take longer to process, and that there is a lack of clear direction, procedures, and resources. With the Islands Trust – Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group protocol nearing completion, there remain uncertainties about how it will be implemented. This report addresses these issues and aims to contribute to a detailed understanding of how policy might be implemented at the operational level.

About a year ago, the guy that i have liked since about 3rd grade asked me out. So we go out for 6 months. Durning that time i thought that i had just won the lottery. Turns out durning that time 'boyfriend' was justa word. He still was with other girls, but just never called them girlfriend. I was so mad. He used me the whole time; asking questions about how to talk to girls, and what they like. It never came to my senses that it wasn't about me. Now were not friends but i think i made the wrong decision.

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
7th Circuit orders new suppression hearing for convicted robber to contest pro se
Daniel T. Lee's self-representation at trial didn't go too well. A federal jury convicted him of participating in the armed robberies of four Milwaukee pharmacies in 2012 and possession with intent to distribute drugs. He is serving a 65-year prison term.
But his do-it-yourself appeal got better results.
In an unusual scenario, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ordered that Lee, 51, was entitled to a new suppression hearing because his request to act as his own lawyer at the first one was denied. If Lee can win the do-over, he would be entitled to a new trial. If the motion to suppress is again denied, his convictions will stand.
According to the decision, nine days before the evidentiary hearing on the motion to suppress, Lee told a magistrate judge that he disagreed with his appointed lawyer's approach and wished to waive his 6th Amendment rights and proceed pro se.
The magistrate said the hearing would proceed with counsel. It lasted nine hours, over two days, and included 12 witnesses. The magistrate recommended denial of the motion to suppress, and U.S. District Judge Charles Clevert agreed. But he granted Lee's request to represent himself the rest of the way.
The court suggests that the district judge preside at the new suppression hearing to reduce the chance the magistrate would be influenced by his earlier decision in the case.
Writing for the three-judge panel, Judge Richard Posner said it doesn't matter, in a case of denied right to self-representation, that the error may have been harmless vis-a-vis the outcome; it seems unlikely Lee will achieve a different result on the suppression motion than his lawyer did.
"Were it not for this rule, the government could present a defendant for sentencing who had not pleaded guilty — or even been tried — and who had been neither represented by counsel nor allowed to represent himself, and argue that the error in denying him the rudiments of due process had been harmless because his guilt was plain," Posner wrote.

A 19-year-old Franklin man faces criminal charges in Nicollet County for allegedly sending text messages prior to a car crash in Klossner in September. Four people were injured in the crash on Highway 15 north of New Ulm that day. An eastbound Chevy pickup truck driven by John Rebstock of Franklin pulled out onto 15 directly in front of a Chevy Tahoe driven by 34-year-old Jason Brown of South Haven. Both drivers and the 2 passengers in the Tahoe suffered minor injuries. An investigation of Rebstock's phone found that he had sent 3 text messages in the minutes leading up to the crash, and was apparently in the process of composing another when the collision occurred. It is illegal to text while driving in Minnesota. Rebstock admitted to sending and receiving text messages while he was driving, but said he had stopped before the crash. He faces a gross misdemeanor charge of criminal vehicular operation with injury and a petty misdemeanor charge of texting while driving, and is scheduled to appear in court July 24th.

Shortly before noon Saturday, Ellen Higgerson of Lakewood drove into the parking lot at South High School in Denver on a mission of mercy. Her golden retriever, Lucy, rested in the back seat.
"I've been lucky in this recession," Higgerson said, as she handed volunteers for the Furry Friends Food Drive four bags of dog food and two bags of cat chow.
"My two dogs are spoiled, and if I had to give them up . . .," she said, before breaking down in tears.
Wooden pallets filled up fast with canned and sacked pet food Saturday in the climax of the two-week drive to help financially challenged owners keep their pets and not have to give them to shelters.
"This is the best way to keep pets in their homes. Everyone I know loves cats, dogs, gerbils and rabbits," said Felicia Diamond, a consultant for nonprofit organizations who conceived the drive after seeing a story on television about a similar program.
Diamond's idea turned into a grassroots network of pet-loving friends and volunteers who sprung into action to help the estimated 80,000 Denver area families having trouble feeding their pets. The Food Bank of the Rockies and the Denver Area Veterinary Medical Society came on board, along with others.
Area animal hospitals, veterinary clinics and three Mike Shaw auto dealerships helped the Furry Friends raise $8,700 in cash as well as food to be added to the 55,000 pounds donated by Purina days before the drive kicked off.
At Pets On Broadway, veterinarian Cheryl Scolnick sent clients home with fliers.
Scolnick said she has treated pets that are getting sick because they are eating food meant for people.
"They (owners) are losing their jobs, homes and a stability in their lives — their pets. This is our way of helping out," Scolnick said.
Before noon Saturday, two Food Bank of the Rockies trucks were being loaded with sacks of dry pet food, and a plastic bucket had been filled with $2,600 in cash.
"This reflects the reality of this economy," said Don Gilman, who was instrumental in getting the donation from Purina.
"Pets are people companions; animals are meaningful," Gilman said.
Higgerson, for one, is convinced.
"I appreciate these people for doing this," she said.

Women living in Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst are playing with their lives.
That's according to the city Health Department's newest Community Health Survey, which reports that 38 percent of women in the two southern Brooklyn neighborhoods have not undergone a mammogram test in the past two years.
That is much higher than the figure for all of New York City – 26 percent.
According to the Health Department, "Timely breast cancer screening is defined as having had a mammography in the past two years."
Women in Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst are also forgoing cervical cancer screenings.
According to the survey, 27 percent of women have not had a pap test in the past three years.
For all New York City women, the figure is 20 percent.
Dr. Audrey Saitta, chair of Radiation Oncology at Lutheran Medical Center, explained the reasons why some women refuse routine cancer screenings.
"I think that there are a couple of issues," she said. "A lot of the time, the patients feel that they're fine, they're not at risk. For cervical cancer, they feel that they don't smoke so they don't have the risk factors or they are too young to be screened."
But women could be putting themselves at risk for cancer by forgoing preventative tests.
In these instances, when a cancer is finally found, "chances are that it's not at an early stage that we can intervene and cure the patient," Saitta explained.
Some women are just plain afraid of a potential cancer diagnosis.
"A lot of time fear keeps people away," Saitta said. "But if they start their screenings earlier, they are going to have more of a chance of catching the cancer earlier, as opposed to not going and waiting for a symptom and then finding that it's too late. By the time a symptom comes, it may already be advanced."
Sometimes women don't undergo screenings because they have poor or no medical coverage.
"Sometimes insurance companies give them a little difficulty," Saitta said. "And a lot of the patients in our area don't even have insurance."
Many Brooklyn hospitals, including Lutheran, now offer free cancer screenings to those without insurance.
"There are so many screenings that are done by hospitals that are free, especially during the awareness months for the diseases," Saitta said. "The American Cancer Society also offers a lot of support for the patients."
"If [women] have any questions, call us at 718-630-7065. We have a lot of screening information about breast self-exams and we can update them on certain times that we are having free screenings. We also have a clinic here," Saitta said.
After all, she noted, "Prevention is key."

Authorized Users of Military Campgrounds +I've received many inquires asking "... am I allowed to use US Military Campgrounds?" These are usually from veterans who served a few years and have an honorable discharge. Sometimes it's from a retired civil service employee who worked for the Army, Navy, or USAF for 30+ years. And some of the inquires are from veterans who are 100% disabled. There's also been a lot of discussion on the various news groups about the 100% DAV authorized use issue. I attempted to do a little research and clear all of these issues up. The following are my findings. In a… Read More

The Search for "Secret" Military Campgrounds +We're always on the search for "secret" military campgrounds. No, not highly classified campgrounds, rather military campgrounds that aren't advertised or well known. The various military services don't do a good job of advertising their own campgrounds. We've found military campgrounds that aren't even advertised on their own website. For some reason, these campgrounds are a "secret" to most people. Read More

No Vacancy at FamCamps

Editors note: This article was written in March 2013 by DeAntha Wright-Thornburg and is used by permission.
We all know the military has a rule or regulation or instruction manual, for just about everything. Anyone who has had any association with the military will recall the rules that guided their lives and careers. What to, where to, and how to accomplish even the simplest task from making the infamous hospital bed corners, to setting up a GP Median, or the more primitive task of digging a latrine.
Fast forward to 2013, we have come a long way; many of the same rules, regulations and instruction manuals still govern out lives even today. But today we have transcended our lives into retirement from setting up a GP Median, to setting up a RV Trailer or Motor Coach costing sometimes more than $100,000.
Our soldiers have been rewarded with several programs and amenities. We now have medical and retirement facilities, commissary and PX privileges, travel programs and other activities to explore. One of the military's programs is sadly being abused by a select few. That being our MWR Outdoor Recreation programs or FAM Campgrounds located on many of our military bases. The unfortunate thing these FAM Camps or rather Family Campgrounds, lack of a uniform code between the Army, Navy and the Air Force. Remember those rules and regulations and don't forget that instruction manuals we mentioned. The wording that stands out in all three regulations between all branches of service directed at our FAM Camps is 'NO Homesteaders'. That means any military person active or retired cannot establish a residency at our Outdoor Recreational facilities or Family Campground. The intended use of the MWR Fam Camps is for 'short term' recreational use for both active duty and retired veterans. The statement of 'short term' does not mean establishing your family in a 5th wheel trailer in a military campground. The term 'short term' is not intended to mean 6 months or more of residency.
Wateree Recreation Area Cleanup and NEW Garden

3/19/2013 - SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- About 200 Teams Shaw members scoured the Shaw Wateree Recreation Area on their fourth annual beautification day near Camden, S.C., March 16. Volunteers came out to Shaw's lakeside site to rake, trim, paint, pick up litter and maintain landscaping.
The Wateree Recreation Area is composed of 25 acres of land and about one mile of shore line. It hosts more than 50,000 people a year, and with a staff of only five people it is difficult to maintain the grounds without the help from volunteers, explained Curt Marshall, 20th Force Support Squadron manager of the park. The beautification day really kicks off the season by cleaning up and maintaining the grounds after the winter season, he said.
Comment to Review on Sheppard AFB Annex at Lake Texoma

Editors note: This article was written in February 2013 by Opa Schuh and is used by permission. This was posted as a "comment" left on a review of Sheppard AFB Annex at Lake Texoma, TX.
I would like to respond to comments made on 12 Sep 2012 by "******". First, let me say that I have been using this facility several times a year since 1971. In the early days for tent camping (1971 – 1981), cabins from 1989 – 1998 and via RV from 1999 to present. Regarding the food service… glad you visited when there was some! There is no food service during winter months… that's why the cabins have full cooking facilities.
When I first started using the SAFB Annex there were few cabins. The facility enjoyed sold out crowds AND appropriated funds. In a few years they built the cabins and sold out every weekend and most summer week days. Fast forward to about 1990. The cabins were getting old and needed a lot of repair. Two new "model" cabins were built with plans to replace all of the cabins over a several year period. Before they started, Congress changed the rules and appropriated funds could no longer be used for MWR. In addition boats, motors and the dock needed to be replaced. The "little store" used to be larger and better stocked and was an official AAFES facility, staffed by an AAFES employee. At this same time the employee retired and AAFES closed the facility.

Photos: A look at Yu Darvish's 2012 Rangers starts
Photo: Michael Ainsworth/Staff Photographer
Rangers 4, A's 1 (May 16, 2012 in Arlington): Yu Darvish pitched 7 2/3 strong innings. "He was very efficient and made them swing the bat," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "Broke his cutter out tonight and moved his fastball around the zone." Darvish gave up one run and four hits while striking out seven to win his sixth game in seven decisions and give a weary Rangers bullpen a rest. After giving up a run in the first, Darvish settled down and retired 11 of the last 15 batters he faced. He lowered his ERA to 2.60. "No matter what the situation, I try to throw as many inning as I can and go as long as possible," Darvish said through an interpreter. (AP)

I fell in love with Suzanne Woods Fisher's writing when I read her first book, The Choice. Read my raving review to see how much I adored her. I'd never read about Amish life and Suzanne made me want to become Amish. She is so amazing. So, when I got the opportunity (thank you Litfuse) to be a part of the blog tour and review the third book in the Lancaster County Secrets series – The Search, I was super-excited.
About the Book
Fifteen years ago, Lainey O'Toole made a split-second decision. She couldn't have known that her choice would impact so many.
Now in her mid-twenties, she is poised to go to culinary school when her car breaks down in Stoney Ridge, the very Amish town in which her long-reaching decision was made, forcing her to face the shadowed past.
Bess Reihl is less than thrilled to be spending the summer at Rose Hill Farm with her large and intimidating grandmother, Bertha. It quickly becomes clear that she is there to work the farm–and work hard. The labor is made slightly more tolerable by the time it affords Bess to spend with the handsome hired hand, Billy Lapp. But he only has eyes for a flirty and curvaceous older girl.
Lainey's and Bess's worlds are about to collide and the secrets that come to light will shock them both.
"Beautifully written, 'The Search' is a skillfully woven story that takes readers through unexpected twists and turns on the long country road toward truth. Fans both old and new will find themselves immersed in this heartwarming–and surprising–tale of young love, forgiveness, and coming to grips with the past."
About Suzanne
In no particular order, Suzanne Woods Fisher is a wife, mother, writer, lifelong student of the Bible, raiser of puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, a gardener and a cook…the latter two with sporadic results. She is also the best selling author of The Choice and The Waiting as well as an Amish non-fiction book, Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World, a non-fiction book of stories and examples about the Old Order Amish, as well as Amish Proverbs.
Needless to say, I'm looking forward to her upcoming books, especially Amish Values for Your Family which is slated for Spring 2011.
Suzanne can be found on-line at: www.suzannewoodsfisher.com or you can connect with her on Twitter at @suzannewfisher
Why I Recommend The Search
Have you ever read something that brings a tear to your eye or makes you smile gently? That's exactly what Suzanne does with her writing and The Search is no different. Brimming with emotions and flowing with words that evoke vivid images, The Search will hold you by the hand and take you through the lives and feelings of each of the characters. Whether it is the seemingly tough Mammi's gentle side, or the turbulent feelings of the young, innocent Bess or the confusion that young Lainey faced, you'll be drawn into the book from the time you read the opening words and be unable to put it down, well into the night. Don't ask me how I know that. ***smiling****
The book brings out the beautiful and warm qualities that every relationship needs without being preachy or boring. Forgiveness, faith, patience, love, humility, healing are just a few of the values that fill this book and make you want to be a better person. Suzanne Fisher doesn't disappoint. If anything, she's set the bar higher for herself with The Search and even as I put down the book late at night, I found myself wanting to read it all over again!
An Exciting Contest and a Facebook Party with Suzanne
Suzanne Woods Fisher's latest installment of the Lancaster County Secrets, The Search, is just out and to celebrate Suzanne is hosting The Search iPad Giveaway!
One Grand Prize winner will receive an iPad Prize Package worth over $500 and includes:

This past week, teams from both WASC (Western Association of Schools & Colleges) and NLSA (National Lutheran Schools Accreditation) were on campus observing both Preschool and K-8 programs. We have received overwhelmingly positive, affirming reports! The K-8 and preschool reports will be available on this website soon!
Our middle school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) class just finished a unit on aerodynamics with a focus on automotive aerodynamics. Students learned about the importance of thrust versus drag, lift versus weight, the Bernoulli Principle, as well as why it is beneficial to have an aerodynamic car.
Each group of students designed a blue print for a wooden race car then had the task of shaping, painting, and constructing the car. After construction was complete, the class created a "wind tunnel" out of dry ice in order to be able to better see where the most drag was. After a few alterations, the students raced their cars for speed and distance.
This class is our answer to the studies that show too few high school graduates are interested in the STEM fields, which is where the jobs of the future will be.
This past week, we celebrated Lutheran Schools Week by Standing in Christ, Serving Others. Students, faculty, and staff wore a different color shirt to be reminded of one aspect of our Christian faith.
Monday- Black (sin)
Tuesday - Red (love/blood shed)
Wednesday- White (forgiveness)
Thursday- Green (the world God created)
Friday- Blue (eternity)
We began the week with an all school sing along of praise and worship and ended the week serving others by collecting over 2,600 cans of food to donate to OC Rescue Mission and making 180 brown bag lunches for Mary's Kitchen.
What an awesome week!!

This blue dot of sickly light
That is daytime in your embarassed town
Burns a hole in the fading yellow ribbon
On your fading wine colored Cavaliere
The mine has fallen down on you
As you dug a well of death
Milk and sugar water
In brief sympathy with them
When we see the hate in your eyes
It doesn't make us better men
The mine has crushed your brother
As he ruined our rotting sky
A white blast of black hot powder
As you lapse into a real boy
The mine has fallen down on you
As you dug a well of death
Tears of sugar water flow
In briefest sympathy with them
Should you be ashamed for more than that?
Than that your daddy raped you silly
Leaning my head on the refrigerator
Crying for the stupid world we share
Walla walla walla walla walla walla walla hey

10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Dakota Johnson
With the much anticipated movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey hitting theaters just in time for this Valentine's Day, it seems only fitting to take a closer look at star Dakota Johnson.
With an acting debut at the age of ten years old, Dakota is definitely not the "new girl" in Hollywood, but thanks to her latest (and steamiest) role as Anastasia Steele she is indeed the new "it" girl.
So let's get to know her, shall we?
Here are 10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Dakota Johnson:
1) Dakota hails from a large family of Hollywood royalty. Her father is actor Don Johnson and her mother is actress Melanie Griffith.
2) Her debut film role was opposite mother Melanie Griffith in 1999's Crazy in Alabama. Half-sister Stella Banderas also appeared in the film which was directed by Dakota's step father Antonio Banderas.
3) Despite acting in the 2010 movie The Social Network (which is about the founding of the social media site Facebook), Dakota Johnson removed her own Facebook page and does not use the social media application or website at all.
4) Dakota was chosen for the role of Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey over such competition as Shailene Woodley, Elizabeth Olsen, Imogen Poots, Lucy Hale, Danielle Panabaker, and Felicity Jones.
5) While she landed a role in 2012's big screen film adaptation of 21 Jump Street, her aunt Tracy Griffith was a guest star on the original 1987 hit television show.
6) Dakota may be getting ready to heat up theaters this weekend opposite the smoldering Jamie Dornan as Christan Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, but she has most certainly had practice working with some of Hollywood's hottest actors. She has worked alongside Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch, Justin Timberlake, Channing Tatum, Chris Pratt, Penn Badgley, and Ethan Hawke (to name a few).
7) She learned her lines for the film Fifty Shades of Grey in just five days.
8) Dakota's zodiac sign is Libra.
9) She is very close friends with actress Riley Keough (granddaughter of Elvis Presley).
10) In May of 2010, Dakota was named one of Nylon Magazine's 55 Faces of the Future.
Will you be watching Miss Dakota Johnson setting screens across the world ablaze with Jamie Dornan in Fifty Shades of Grey this weekend? I know I will be!
Who Rocked It? J.Law vs J.Lo in Abstract Dior
Fancy a friendly little Fashion Face-Off between The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence and American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez?
Jennifer Lawrence, 24, was recently spotted out and about in a gorgeous multi-length Dior skirt, which she paired with shades, strap sandals, and short locks - resulting in a quite chic daytime look for the actress and newly crowned singer.
Meanwhile Jennifer Lopez, 45, flaunted the same Dior skirt at a screening of her latest film The Boy Next Door. Lopez opted for a more sultry look by adding hot pink heels, a matching pout, and showing some serious leg.
As always, both Jennifers look absolutely amazing, but only one truly rocked the look. Was it Jennfier Lawrence or Jennifer Lopez?
10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About 'Snow White and the Huntsman'
We know that Snow White and the Huntsman is not the classicm Grimm tale, but a girl power update of that old redundant story. With an all-star cast like Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, and Kristen Stewart, how could we not be totally intrigued?
Yet, we must continue to wait until June 1st when the film finally hits theaters here in the U.S.
Until then - Let's take a peek at
10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About 'Snow White and the Huntsman':
1. After Viggo Mortensen and Hugh Jackman both turned down the role of Eric, the Huntsman, the role went to Thor's Chris Hemsworth.
2. Florence and the Machine's song 'Breath of Life' was written exclusively for the film and inspired by Queen Ravenna, Charlize Theron's character.
3. In order to take the role of Snow White, Kristen Stewart had to overcome her fear of horses - which stems from falling off of a horse and fracturing her arm as a kid.
4. Charlize Theron beat out Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder for the role of Queen Ravenna.
5. Lily Collins auditioned for the role of Snow White, but did not make the cut and ended up with the lead role as Snow White in the film Mirror, Mirror.
6. Emily Browning, Dakota Fanning, and Selena Gomez were all considered for the lead role, but lost out to Kristen Stewart.
7. After tearing a ligament in her thumb, Kristen Stewart brought film production to a halt due to the injury sustained while filming an attack scene with the Dwarves.
8. The beach scenes for the film were shot at the Marloes Sands Beach in Pembrokshire, U.K. While filming, the beach was still open to the public.
9. While shooting a scene with Chris Hemsworth, co-star Kristen Stewart accidentally punched him in the face leaving Thor with a black eye.
10. Charlize Theron dropped out of Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in order to dedicate her full time and attention to Snow White and the Huntsman.
Injuries, punches, turning down Eastwood?
I would say that everyone in Snow White and the Huntsman have put 110% into their roles and the film itself. It's bound to be whirlwind twist of timeless fantasy and action. This isn't a simple remale or re-telling of an old fairy tale.
This is a completely reinvisioned tale of epic glory involving real world emotions and likeness! Wait... I'm completely fan-girling already and I haven't even seen the movie yet...
Snow White and the Huntsman hits theaters across the U.S. on June 1st, 2012.
I'll be there. Will you?
Will Smith Slaps Reporter In The Face
Actor Will Smith was in Moscow, Russia last week promoting Men In Black 3 when one reporter tried to get a little too friendly with Smith by attempting to kiss the actor after a hug.
Smith exclaimed "Hey man, what the hell is your problem?" before pushing the reporter off and slapping him in the face.
You can check out the footage for yourself below, courtesy of TMZ:
I would say that the reporter definitely invaded some personal space there. What do you say?
Do you think Will gave the reporter what he deserved? Or do you feel that Smith should have handled things differently?

10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Charlize Theron
Model-turned-Actress Charlize Theron is probably quite used to being in the spotlight by now - and not only for her looks. She was praised for her gritty portrayal of Aileen Wuornos in 2003's Monster by winning an Oscar and a Golden Globe, and gained further critical acclaim for her role in 2005's North Country. She is on pretty much every 'Sexiest Woman of the Year' list, has us geared up to see her as Queen Ravenna in Snow White and the Huntsman, and has most recently taken on the role of mommy by adopting son Jackson.
We know that Charlize can transcend the barriers of any sort of "type-casting", that she has triumphed both the fashion and film industry, and that at this moment she must feel on top of the world. With all of the things we do know about her, here are 10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Charlize Theron:
1. Charlize began modeling at the age of 14.
2. She successfully quit smoking cigarettes by undergoing hypnosis.
3. Charlize was a prime ballet dancer, but was forced to end that career after a knee injury.
4. Theron was originally considered for the role of Satine in Moulin Rouge!, but ultimately lost out to Nicole Kidman.
5. When Charlize was 15, her mother shot and killed her father, Charlie, in self defense.
6. Born and raised in South Africa, Theron learned to speak English by watching American TV programs.
7. She suffers from OCD and must check every closet, locker, and drawer on the premesis of wherever she stays when away from home.
8. She was discovered by her manager while in a bank West Hollywood yelling at a teller who would not cash her check.
9. Charlize always speaks Africaans when talking to her mother, Gerda, who lives 2 minutes away from her own home in Los Angeles.
10. She beat out contenders Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder for the role of Queen Ravenna in Snow White and the Huntsman, which hits theaters June 1st.

Megan Fox's Publicist Pulls Plug On 'ET' Interview: What Happened?
Actress Megan Fox was scheduled to do an interview with Entertainment Tonight and all went well as the star began the session... until someone tried to Hound this Fox.
Correspondent Steve Jones slipped in a quip about a baby (which, as a stipulation of the terms of the interview - no questions were to be asked about Fox's pregnancy).
Check out the footage:
You can hear Megan's publicist in the background asking that the interview be stopped.
Though Fox replied "I know where you're going with this" and then prompted Jones by asking "What do you want to know?" her rep apparently answered "No" all around as she brought the interview to a screeching halt.
Do you think Megan's rep was being too harsh?
Kristen Stewart Named Glamour UK's Best Dressed Woman of 2012
It has been a pretty big year for actress Kristen Stewart so far. She has wrapped up filming for The Twilight Saga and set that in her past, went public with her on-screen leading man Robert Pattinson, and now has most of us on the edge of our seats with the upcoming release of Snow White and the Huntsman. Not to mention she's been keeping things fashionable along the way.
So fashionable that Glamour UK dubbed her The Best Dressed Woman of 2012! How about that for an honor? Glamour stated the following about their #1 choice this year:
"Whether she's working bodycon Monique Lhuillier on the red carpet, or dressing down in jeans and a T-shirt, Kristen is always effortlessly on-trend. Her evolution from awkward teen to style queen has made the Twilight star a fashion icon every girl can relate to."
How true. Stewart's off screen laid back style is epic with her tomboy twists and SoCal spins. Much like the woman she portrayed in 2010's The Runaways, Joan Jett, Kristen is making her own waves with her effortless rocker and boy-ish style.
Kristin in fact has become a fashion icon, and perhaps not in the exact way as others see Lady Gaga, but she has earned her title all the same.
She doesn't do strange. She doesn't do art. She doesn't do cute. She does Kristen.
And when she steps out for a public event, boy does she shine.
Stewart beat out Emma Watson and Victoria Beckham for the top honor.
To see who else made the list, head to Glamour UK's Best Dressed Women of 2012 gallery!
What are your thoughts on the pick?

"Ensuring safe care of critically-ill patients receiving high-alert drugs has long been a challenge," said Cindy Tryniszewski, RN, MSN Executive Director, Clinical e-Learning, Elsevier/MC Strategies. "Working alongside AACN and ASHP, we have delivered a high-quality product that provides nurses with superior continuing education on how drugs work, why drugs cause adverse effects, and what the implications are for patient care."
Among current challenges facing healthcare organizations is the effort to provide safe, competent and quality care to critically ill patients to ensure optimal outcomes. Critical Care Pharmacology effectively meets this challenge, not only by offering in-depth education concerning medication safety, best practices, and evidence-based interventions, but by complying with The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals. A soon to be released white paper from Elsevier/MC Strategies highlighting this topic is titled "Education Options for Staff Development: Using a Blended Learning Approach to Teach Critical Care Pharmacology". This white paper highlights issues surrounding quality patient care as a direct result of best practices in drug administration.

Jazz Ensemble to Welcome Special Guests for Concert
January 24, 2013
MANSFIELD, PA--The MU Jazz Ensemble, directed by Michael Galloway, and the X-Ray Big Band will be combining for their ninth annual concert on Sunday, February 10, 7 p.m. in Steadman Theatre. The program will also feature guest artists Rich Thompson and Chris Vadala.
Formed by Rick Doganiero in 2003 as a musical and social organization for area big band jazz enthusiasts, the X-Ray Big Band will take center stage for the first half of the concert.
"Rick's goal was to establish a big band at the community level for local musicians and also to provide an opportunity for high school students to play along with professionals," Galloway said.
The X-Ray Big Band will perform classics such as Bill Holman's Ol' Man River, Thad Jone's Groove Merchant and the Tom Kubis arrangement of When You're Smiling.
Also on the program will be newer charts; Shout Me Out by John Clayton and Bob Curnow's original, Vida de Sueño. They will conclude their set with the Michael Mossman arrangement of Tito Puente's mambo, Ran Kan Kan.
The X-Ray Big Band is always looking for new members. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com
The second half will feature the MU Jazz Ensemble with guest artists Rich Thompson and Chris Vadala.
Drummer Rich Thompson has been in demand as a top call drummer in Rochester, NY for the past 25 years.
Besides serving as the drum set instructor at the Eastman School of Music since the fall of 1996, Thompson has toured, performed and recorded with the "who's who" of jazz greats including The Count Basie Orchestra, Tito Puente, Frank Foster, Rich Perry, Byron Stripling, Harold Danko, Marion McPartland, Snooky Young, Carl Fontana, Phil Woods and Joe Pass.
The Boston Globe cited Thompson as "the drummer who drove the Basie sound." He has recently released his CDs, Trio Generations. A CD with trumpeter Terell Stafford, pianist Gary Versace, and bassist Jeff Campbell is due to be released this April.
Thompson has performed with symphonies in the U.S. and Canada and his clinics have taken him as far as France, Japan and Newfoundland. He has written four drum set books published by Kendor Music USA and Advance Music-Germany.
One of the country's foremost woodwind artists, Chris Vadala has appeared on more than 100 recordings to date, as well as innumerable jingle sessions, film and TV scores, performing on all the saxophones, flutes, and clarinets.
Vadala, director of Jazz Studies and Saxophone professor, is a distinguished scholar-teacher at the University of Maryland.
His performing career has been highlighted by a long tenure with the Chuck Mangione Quartet, which included performing credits on five gold and two platinum albums, plus two Grammys, one Emmy, one Georgie (AGVA) and one Golden Globe Award.
Vadala has also performed and/or recorded with such greats as Dizzy Gillespie, Quincy Jones, B.B. King, Chick Corea, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Placido Domingo, Sarah Vaughn, Natalie Cole, Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Henry Mancini, Doc Severinsen and Joe Lovano.
In 2009, he became a regular member of the Award-Winning Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, and has been the first call saxophonist with National Symphony Orchestra for many years.
A Downbeat magazine poll finalist in four categories and the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Study grant, Vadala has published a number of original compositions and arrangements. In addition to his debut solo CD, Out of the Shadows, recent recording/publications include Jazz/Rock in the USA, Jazz Solos, Nothin' But Jazz, Jazz Adventures, Modern Jazz-Rock and R & B and Fusion Solos. His credits also include contributions to Warner Brother's Approaching the Standards play-a-long improvisation series and Jazz Pedagogy (The Jazz Educator's Handbook and Resource Guide). He also has the honor of being included in a new publication, The History of the Top 40 Sax Solos (1955-1998).
The MU Jazz Ensemble set will open with The Heat's On, a Sammy Nestico chart that Thompson performed many times during his tenure with the Basie Band. Quintessence, a Quincy Jones ballad that will feature Vadala, will follow.
Both guests will then get to show off in a Jeff Tysik original, Oliver. "This is an up-tempo Latin chart that never lets up," Galloway said.
Another Tysik arrangement, the classic A Train by Billy Strayhorn, has solo spots for a couple of students in addition to Thompson and Vadala. Finally, the concert will close with another standard from the Basie Band, Ernie Wilkin's Basie Power.
"Come out for a night of great jazz, two big bands and two outstanding guest artists," Galloway said.
Tickets for the concert are $10, $5 for seniors and students, and are available online at music.mansfield.edu, by calling (570)662-4710 or at the door. MU students with ID will be admitted free.
Vadala and Thompson's appearance are sponsored by Wellsboro Imaging, Inc., Enrico J. Doganiero, D.O. The concert is also funded in part from student activity fees and a grant from Conn-Selmer, Inc. Robert M. Sides Family Music Centers is the participating Conn-Selmer dealer.
