The Executive Assistant II is supervised by the Dean and may supervise or provide functional guidance to subordinate employees.
Factor 1: Educational/Experience Requirements of the Job
Level 5 - 680 Points: A combination of education and experience equivalent to a Level 5 as indicated by the Equivalencies Chart, when permitted by the Minimum Acceptable Qualifications.
Factor 2: Complexity and Technical Mastery
Level 4 - 370 Points: In addition to considerable skill in oral and written communication, the ability to make basic mathematical calculations, the ability to understand and follow instructions, knowledge of moderately complex or other work procedures, and the ability to work independently and coordinate a variety of activities and events, the job requires specific professional skills and/or skills in managing a wide variety of complex processes.
Factor 3: Responsibility for the Work of Others
Level 4 - 110 Points: Some supervision and training of small numbers of student or part-time workers is required where the nature of supervision is largely confined to scheduling work and assigning tasks. Supervision at this level may also involve directing the work assignments of one or more permanent, full-time employees. Supervisory tasks may include providing input into hiring and employee evaluation processes, but the final decisions are made by other supervisors. The incumbent typically does not perform a full range of supervisory responsibilities, and supervisory duties typically involve relatively little time during the work day.
Factor 4: Guidelines
Level 3 - 220 Points: The work involves carrying out a group of procedures using the general methods and desired results indicated by the supervisor. Typically, standard operating procedures, handbooks, and/or reference manuals exist for most procedures, but the incumbent must select from the most appropriate of several guidelines, and make minor adjustments to methods. The incumbent uses judgment in interpreting and adapting guidelines such as University policies, regulations, precedents, and work directions for application to specific cases or problems. The incumbent makes decisions regarding most deviations from the guidelines but major deviations from guidelines are referred to the supervisor. Assignments are related in function and objective, but processes, procedures, or software varies from one assignment to another. Based on assignment, incumbents use diverse but conventional methods, techniques, or approaches. Jobs at this level may perform work that is moderately complex, but normally performed within a fairly narrow and specific functional area.
Factor 5: Contacts
Level 4 - 205 Points: The purpose of interactions is to solve recurring and structured problems, to provide specialized or technically precise information to others, and/or to plan or coordinate work efforts with other employees. Contacts involve cooperation and coordination and may involve the organization of activities of programs requiring working relationships among several parties. While contacts may require some level of persuasion, potential for conflicts and disputes are relatively minor. Interactions are moderately structured and routine and may involve employees in different functions, students, and/or the general public.
Factor 6: Work Impact
Level 3 - 300 Points: Work activities normally address conventional problems or situations with established methods to supply other employees with information, services, or products they use to perform their work. Work products or services facilitate the work of other employees and directly affects the ability of other employees to timely complete specific tasks or processes. Work activities may affect the quality of services provided to moderate numbers of employees, students, or the public, but the services, information, or products provided have relatively minor effects on the welfare of the affected groups.
Factor 7: Physical Effort and Work Environment
Level 1 - 25 Points: The work environment consists of exposure to physical conditions typical of a normal office environment. Most of the job is performed while sitting, although the work may require occasional standing or walking and/or the lifting and carrying of small objects.

The author of Population: 485 returns, delivering a truckload of humor, heart, and . . . gardening tips? Think Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, complete with stock cars, sexy vegetables, and a laugh track.
"All I wanted to do was fix my old pickup truck," says Michael Perry. "That, and plant my garden. Then I met this woman. . . ." Truck: A Love Story recounts a year in which Perry struggles to grow his own food ("Seed catalogs are responsible for more unfulfilled fantasies than Enron and Penthouse combined"), live peaceably with his neighbors (one test-fires his black powder rifle in the alley; another's best Sunday shirt reads 100 PERCENT WHUP-ASS), and sort out his love life. But along the way, he sets his hair on fire, is attacked by wild turkeys, takes a date to the fire department chicken dinner, and proposes marriage to a woman in New Orleans. As with Population: 485, much of the spirit of Truck: A Love Story may be found in the characters Perry meets: a one-eyed land surveyor, a paraplegic biker who rigs a sidecar so that his quadriplegic pal can ride along, a bartender who refuses to sell light beer, an enchanting woman who never existed, and half the staff of National Public Radio.
By turns hilarious and heartfelt, a tale that begins on a pile of sheep manure, detours to the Whitney Museum of American Art, and returns to the deer-hunting swamps of northern Wisconsin, Truck: A Love Story becomes a testament to the surprising and unintended consequences of love.1006

I think the producers may be learning that "safe and bland" is often REALLY boring. I like Anne Hathaway, but she's coming off a little too white bread....that's probably because she kind of is. Ricky Gervais is looking better and better! :lol
Like I said, I never liked Billy Crystal or thought he was very funny, which is okay, since he thinks he's funny enough for the both of us. I thought Steve Martin was fabulous and LOVED Hugh Jackman, but no one can ever top Johnny Carson. He was the best!
RDJ and Jude were very funny. I liked their little bit more than I liked Sherlock Holmes! :lol The dig about the hotel room with Cat Woman was awesome.
I think the song and not Gwyneth was the problem - it wasn't good for her voice. Wasn't "Country Strong" nominated for Best Song?

The Never-Ending Green Onion Supply
You know how you pin tens or hundreds of those "clever/need to do this/didn't know this/why didn't I know this" kinds of ideas on Pinterest? Ever try them out? Did they actually work?
Here's one less one to wonder about. I put this Pin to the test: After slicing up your green onions, save the white ends, submerge them in water, place in a sunny window, and watch them replenish themselves.
This picture was taken one week after I dunked those little white nasties in water. And look what happened! I felt like I was in my own little mini-mythbusters episode.
I never have to buy green onions again.

By 1944, the main Blitz on London by German bomber planes was long over. However, the city had suffered severe damage and loss of life as a result of the campaign. Britain's victory in the Battle of Britain had prevented German bombers from entering British airspace, but this had encouraged German engineers to develop remote controlled missiles that did not require manned planes to target Britain.
The "Robot Blitz", or "Baby Blitz", consisted of offensives by V-1 and V-2 rockets. While the V-1 rockets could be heard for about ten seconds before they struck, the V-2 rocket travelled faster than the speed of sound, meaning that there was no warning of an impending strike. Londoners lived in constant fear of sudden destruction between the first attack on September 8th, 1944 and Victory in Europe Day on May 8th, 1945.
In total, 1,402 V-2s struck London. The estimated death toll from V-2 attacks on London is 2,754, with another 6,523 injured. In one incident, a missile struck the Rex Cinema in Antwerp on December 16, 1944, killing 567 people. This incident may well be the attack depicted in the novel's conclusion.
The Herman Goerring Casino is located on the French Riviera, on the south-east Mediterranean coastline of France. The area had been recently liberated by American parachute troops and 60,000 American and French ground troops, and it quickly reestablished itself as a popular resort, with the Cannes Film Festival being launched there in 1946.
The area has hot, dry summers and mild winters, enjoying about 300 days of sunshine per year. With the rise of the railways, it became a vacation spot for British and Russian aristocracy and royalty in the 19th century. It was also noted for its artistic population, with Picasso, Matisse and Edith Wharton spending time there.
The area now has a popuation of over two million, drawn from around 163 different nationalities.
The Crystal Palace was an iron and glass building set up in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851.
The latest technological marvels of the Industrial Revolution and colonial exploration were displayed there, such as the Koh-i-noor diamond and the world's first automatic voting machine. The exhibition was visited by the likes of Charles Darwin, Charlotte Brontë, Lewis Carroll, as well as 6 million other members of the public.
The exhibition, though highly popular, attracted controversy among those who feared the mass attendance could breed revolution, as well as those who saw it as representing the worst excesses of capitalism.
The building was moved to Sydenham in 1854, where it stood until 1936 when it was destroyed by a fire.
Battersea Power Station was a coal-fired power station on the south bank of the Thames.
It was built in the 1930s after Parliament decided that electricity should be supplied by a publicly-owned utility with a standard voltage and frequency. Existing companies decided to operate out of a few large power stations rather than many smaller ones.
Battersea Power Station was the first of these. The plans were drawn up in 1927. The Thames would provide cooling water and enable easy delivery of coal by boat. Concerns that it would be an eyesore and cause damaging pollution were addressed by hiring famous architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, designer of the red telephone box, and implementing treatments of emissions to reduce the level of smoke.
Building was completed in 1935 on Station A. Station B was begun after the end of the Second World War.
Wormwood Scrubs Prison is a Category B men's prison located in West London.
It was built in 1874 using convict labour, after the head of the Prison Department, General Sir Edmund du Cane, had seen the Sing Sing Prison in New York.
During the Second World War, the prisoners of Wormwood Scrubs were evacuated, and the prison was taken over by the War Department. It served as a secure operating house for MI5, as well as MI8, the Radio Security Service.
This is another name for the Battle of the Bulge (16 December, 1944 - 25 January 1945), a German offensive through the Ardennes Mountains region of Belgium. Its official name was the Ardennes-Alsace campaign, and the German army referred to it as Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (Operation Watch on the Rhine, a reference to the German hymn).
The German goal was to split the British-American line and capture the city of Antwerp, before encircling and isolating the Allied armies, forcing them to negotiate an armistice in Germany's favour, and enabling Germany to devote more resources to the battle on the eastern front.
The operation was planned and coordinated in secret, and it took the Allies by surprise. Allied air forces were grounded by the heavy winter conditions. However, fierce resistance, especially around the town of Bastogne, disadvantageous terrain, the arrival of reinforcements in the form of General Patton's legendary Third Army, and a change in weather conditions that allowed the Allies to mobilise their superior air force rendered the German offensive a failure.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the Battle of the Bulge represented the most damaging battle of the war for American forces.
The Battle of Plassey took place on 23 June 1757, and was a victory for the British East India Company over the Nawab of Bengal and the French.
The battle took place on the banks of the Bhagirathi River in Palashi, Bengal, and was precipitated by an attack on Calcutta by the Newab of Bengal. Colonel Robert Clive led reinforcements from Madras and recaptured Calcutta, before taking the French fort of Chandernager. Outnumbered by the Newab's forces, the British forged a plot with some of his chiefs, who assembled their armies, but then purposefully did not send them in to fight.
This British victory allowed them to force the Dutch and the French out of South Asia, and establish dominance in the region for around 200 years.
Dutch term for The Hague, the third largest city in the Netherlands, with a population of 485,818. It is the provincial capital of South Holland.
The Hague is the seat of the Dutch parliament, government and Royal Court, as well as being the judicial capital of the United Nations.
Shell Mex House is located at 80 Strand, London. It was built in 1931 and was the headquarters of Shell-Mex and BP Ltd, a joint-venture company started by Shell and British Petroleum to unite their marketing efforts in the UK.
During the Second World War, the Ministry of Supply set up operations there, though the building was badly damaged by a bomb in 1940.
In 1948, Shell-Mex and BP Ltd resumed business there, until the companies separated in 1975. Shell worked there alone until 1990.
The building now houses Pearson PLC, which owns Penguin Books.
This is inaccurate.
It is earlier stated that Tchitcherine was born in 1905. Petrograd, now known as St. Petersburg, was only renamed Leningrad in 1924. Tchitcherine would have been 19 by this time. Whether this is an error on Pynchon's part, or whether Tchitcherine is simply applying the city's new name retroactively, is unclear.
The Spree is a river that flows through the German states of Saxony, Brandenburg and Berlin, and into the Czech Republic. It is a left bank tributary of the River Havel and is about 250 miles long.
Silbo Gomero is the language of whistling used by residents of La Gomera in the Canary Islands to communicate across the large ravines around the island. The language was adapted when the Spanish colonised the island in the 16th century. By the 20th century, the language was almost extinct, until the local government made it mandatory for children to study it.
Llandudno is a resort town in Conwy County Borough, Wales. It was designed to be a holiday destination in the Victorian era.
The town is famous for one literary connection: it is said to be where Lewis Carroll first told Alice Liddell the stories that would become Alice in Wonderland. Many scholars now argue that this is not the case, and that Carroll in fact never visited the town, but the association remains. In 1933, David Lloyd George dedicated a statue of the White Rabbit in the town.
The Wounded Knee massacre took place on December 29, 1890, near Wounded Knee Creek on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota. A detachment of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment intercepted Spotted Elk's band of Lakota Indians and marched them to the creek before making camp. The rest of the regiment arrived and set up Hotchkiss guns around the camp.
When the U.S. troops attempted to disarm the Lakota, at least one was reluctant to part with his rifle. The situation rapidly escalated, and the U.S. troops ended up firing on the Lakota indiscriminately, killing men, women and children. At least 150 were killed and a further 51 were wounded, though some estimates put the death toll at 300. 25 U.S. troopers were also killed, with 39 wounded.
Nymphenburg Palace lies on the outskirts of Munich, Germany. It was the summer residence for the rulers of Bavaria.
The palace is built in the Baroque style, with facades 700 metres wide. The Stone Hall features frescoes by Johann Baptist Zimmermann and decorations by François de Cuvilliés. Some of the rooms have been redesigned with rococo or neoclassical stylings.
The palace is located in a 490 acre park with a canal and two lakes. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction.
The Bradbury Building is located at 304 South Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. The building is famous for having featured in numerous films, books and television series.
For the 1982 film Blade Runner, it housed J.F. Sebastian's apartment, and its roof was the scene for the famous rooftop chase sequence at the end. The building also featured in Double Indemnity (1944), D.O.A. (1950), M (1951), I, The Jury (1953), The Indestructible Man (1956), Good Neighbor Sam (1964), Chinatown (1974), Avenging Angel (1985), Murphy's Law (1986), Wolf (1994), Disclosure (1994), Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) and (500) Days of Summer (2009).
Here, Pynchon is referring to the 1969 film Marlowe, based on Raymond Chandler's novel The Little Sister, in which the famous private-eye is played by James Garner.

A brave teenager has shaved her head for a children's cancer charity.
Macie Wombwell, who turned 14 this week, went ahead with the extreme hair cut in front of her classmates in morning assembly at Kirk Hallam Community Technology and Sports College.
Macie was initially raising money to help pay for a Japanese school exchange that she has been chosen to go on.
Her mum Debbie said: "Macie said at the same time she would like raise some for charity.
"We said 'why not?' The charity has obviously now taken over and she is supporting Children With Cancer UK.
"On Monday we plaited Macie's hair into two ponytails as these are being donated to the Little Princess Trust which uses hair to make wigs for children with cancer. We then shaved her hair off with clippers on a '0' setting.
"Mr Ebbage, the new principal of the school and Mr Eagles, who is Macie's head of year, have been amazingly supportive and helped put the assembly together and let us take it over. Macie had her hair shaved off in front of her year group, with many teachers also attending the assembly to offer support."
So far the youngster has raised £248 on her Just Giving page and still has £360 to collect in sponsorship money that has already been pledged, with promises of donations still being made.Debbie said: "Macie was inspired by stories of people who have suffered with cancer such as Stephen Sutton.
"She also walked up Mount Snowdon on Sunday."

Glenford University Seeks Opportunity in High Dropout Rate in Adult Education
According to a recent study, 51% o f the total number of students at adult education centers in Abu Dhabi have dropped out
THURSDAY, FEB 20: Adult education centers in Abu Dhabi recently experienced an unusually high rate of dropouts in the total number of enrolled students, giving Glenford University the chance to capitalize on this opportunity by providing students access to its highly efficient online learning system. According to a study conducted by Al Hosn University, the figure of dropouts hovers at around 51%; an alarming figure for Abu Dhabi which prides itself on being one of the few cities in the Arab region that places a strong emphasis on the need for high quality education.
Many of the reasons cited for this sudden drop in adults acquiring high quality education pointed towards several social as well as economic factors. These include a lack of adequate time to be allocated for the purpose of high quality study as well as scarcity of funds needed to fulfill the financial requirements of such education centers. "Many students, at this stage, are at the prime of their careers and are thus employed in jobs that require their involvement on a full-time basis", explained a representative from Al-Hosn University. "Education centers generally follow a proper schedule of weekly classes involving assignments, quizzes and exams. Students find it extremely difficult to meet the challenges of both work and study; hence, many choose to discontinue their education."
In light of these recent developments, Glenford University is gearing itself to fill up the void thus created by providing students increased access to high quality education via their state-of-the-art online learning system. This is to be done by creating a strong bridge between students and the University's team of experienced student counselors whose sole responsibility will be to guide aspiring professionals towards a flexible and extremely affordable method of gaining high quality education. "We will appeal to students' educational needs on the basis of factors considered most important or significant to them, i.e. flexible and self-paced study combined with low and affordable admission/enrollment rates", explained a Glenford University representative. "Students in search of high quality education will be provided with efficient online academic programs that are tailor-made to suit their needs and preferences, thereby giving them enough time to cater to other obligations."
Glenford University aims to raise the bar for high quality education by continuously pushing boundaries with regard to access to quality education. In so doing, the University claims that it is able to meet its objective of satisfying the right to quality education for every single individual. "Our goal is to give every student the chance to achieve their career objectives and become successful professionals of their respective fields," adds another representative. "We hope this endeavor will result in the overall rate of adult education to steadily climb to a respectable level."

On eve of budget, GN-union wage talks head nowhere
Union could be in legal strike position by March 14
With territorial budget day fast approaching, the Government of Nunavut's unionized workers took to the sidewalks and driveways around the Nunavut legislative building Feb. 20 to complain their wage-benefit talks, now two years old, are heading nowhere.
"Whether you're a nurse, whether you work in a school, whether you work in one of the offices around here, you provide valuable public services and you deserve to be paid a fair wage," said Geoff Ryan, Nunavut vice-president of the Northern Territories Federation of Labour, which represents about 9,200 workers in 12 different unions.
Ryan, who also serves as an official with the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the NEU's parent organization, scoffed at the Nunavut government's opening wage offer in 2010: no wage increases over four years.
"The government is telling you that you aren't even deserving of the wage you're getting right now. They want you guys to have a lower standard of living than you have already enjoyed," Ryan told union members gathered Feb. 20 in the parking lot behind the legislature.
This past fall, 85 per cent of NEU members who cast ballots voted in favour of strike action, if necessary.
That means if mediation talks, which began Feb. 17 in Iqaluit, fail to break the impasse, then GN workers could find themselves in a legal strike position by March 14.
But that's only if they reach an agreement with their employer on the provision of essential services during a strike or lockout.
Talks on the last collective agreement between the GN and the Nunavut Employees Union began in March 2010, and the deal expired in September 2010.
On money, the two sides haven't moved much from positions they exchanged in April 2011.
The GN upped its initial zero wage offer to a proposal that would offer workers no wage increase in the first year of a new contract and one per cent wage hikes in each of three following years.
The union wants five per cent wage hikes in each year of a three-year deal, saying GN workers need that much to keep up with the cost of living.
Ryan, quoting from a recent Nunavut inflation rate figure of 2.5 per cent, said the GN's wage offers amount to wage cuts for their workers, given the loss of buying power produced by a rising cost of living.
"The offer that you guys originally got from the government is zero, zero, zero and zero. How pathetic," Ryan said.
Ryan then jerked his thumb in the direction of the legislative building.
"The guys in this place here, they're not getting zero, zero, zero. They're flying around all over the place. They're spending money. Take a look in the windows and see how many days they have catering up there… and they expect you to get by with nothing?"
Throughout the noon-hour picket and rally, NEU members marched in front of the legislative building, holding picket signs, distributing leaflets and chanting slogans such as, "Northern allowance is broke. GN offer is a joke."
Across the street, at the Nova Inn, negotiators from the two sides sat all weekend with mediator Vince Ready, who was brought in last summer to help broker a deal.
As of Feb. 21, neither side was reporting any progress at the bargaining table.
Also on the weekend, the NEU and PSAC held workshops for union members who flew into Iqaluit from around Nunavut to attend learning sessions on strike preparation and other subjects.
Another participant was Julie Docherty, executive vice president for the Public Service Alliance of Canada, the NEU's parent organization, in Canada's North.
Docherty was last year elected to succeed veteran labour activist Jean-François Des Lauriers of Whitehorse.
"We live here in the North. We deserve a fair and decent collective agreement and for this employer to come to you and offer you zero, one, one and one is unacceptable and appalling," Docherty said.
Docherty read messages of support from John Gordon, PSAC's national president, and from the Canadian Labour Congress.
In addition to their big disagreement on wages, the NEU and the GN are also wrangling over a long list of other issues, including:
• northern allowance payments;
• vacation travel assistance, which the union wants reinistated;
• concessions that the government is seeking in the recruitment and retention payments made to nurses;
• a GN proposal to re-classify casual workers as "relief" workers, which the union says could lead to a loss of rights and benefits for casual employees; and,
• the creation of a "social justice fund," which the union is demanding.

The Right Way to Cut a Flower Stem
Sunday Mar 13, 2011
Here is the proper way to cut a flower stem. Many people ask if they have to cut the stems at all, the answer is always Y. E. S. Even if we cut it in the store, the answer is yes. Even if there are water pics on the ends, the answer is yes. Even if you don't want to, the answer is yes!
- Prep your vase before you cut the stems! Add about half a pack of powder to the room temperate water, which should be almost at the top. As with cooking and baking, preparation is key and will make the rest of the job much easier.
- Make sure you have a sharp knife or secateurs or at the very least, very sharp scissors: A dull cutting tool will squish the cells at the end of the stem, preventing them from taking up water. This can cause roses with a bent neck, flowers that are shriveled and wilted. This can be remedied by re-cutting with sharp tool.
- Cut a bit off end at an angle: The angle makes a larger surface from which the flower can drink, as well as prevents the stem from sitting right on the bottom of the vase.
- Get them into the waiting vase pronto! Waiting even a minute can be too long. The stem ends seal up very quickly (1-10 seconds) so all your hard work will have been in vain. You'll have to cut the stem again.
- Repeat steps 1-4 in a few days, prepping your vase with fresh clean water.
- Enjoy your beautiful, longer-lasting flowers!
A note about bulb flowers (tulips and hyacinths, for example): they don't like flower powder and prefer cold water.

Carole, I didn't realize...! My blog mentioning the penny in the vase trick has already been posted! It's dated March the 23rd...
Well Carole, some people swear by it. I believe that it happens, but you have to make sure the penny is very clean, otherwise you'll be dropping all sorts of bacteria into your water! Keep watching for a future post on this very subject!
Westmount Florist
Hey Carole, There are many old wives tales out there, with various tricks to keep the stems straight. Because tulips grow in water, it sometimes gives the illusion that they are wilting or drooping. The best thing to do is continuously re cut the stems, change the water and keep your tulips in a cool place. These steps will lengthen your tulips life span and keep them nice and straight. The copper in the penny does make the tulips straighten up...but we would suggest these steps as an alternative!
I was told that you should put a penny in the water for each stem of tulip and this will keep them straight...is this true ??

I wish we had one of these in Britain
On the eve of the publication of the Leveson report which chillingly appears to be being welcomed by the political Left (no great friends of press freedom) and is likely to contain some provision for state control of newspapers, I start to hanker for this thing that the Americans have got, called the First Amendment to the Constitution.
If only we could have one of those, mind you in the UK we don't even have a written constitution.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
How many of the people's grievances do you think will be publicised if journalists are constantly aware of, and worried about 'what will the Government think'.
Robert the Biker permalink
Never forget, the first amendment is protected by the second (right to keep and bear arms)

EDMONTON RADIO: Marriage on the air
There is no longer any such thing as "too much information."
Just listen to the radio for proof. Most of the popular announcers are expected to share EVERY LITTLE DETAIL of their fabulous lives, because making human, personal connections is so important these days. For marketing. So in Edmonton, we learn about Terry Evans' luxurious house, Lesley Primeau's dog, the misadventures of Paul Brown and daily bickering Bickersons banter from not one, but TWO married morning show couples. The only limit to what most of these folks reveal about themselves on the air – aside from the CRTC code of conduct – is that you can only hear what's going on. For those not satisfied with leaving the rest to the imagination, there's always Facebook.
Crash and Mars, the morning crew on Now! 102.3 FM, are an engaged couple whose impending marriage seems to be the topic in another of the station's relentless billboard campaigns. Will they or won't they? Do they or don't they? Should they or shouldn't they? It's clear they're gearing up for some reality show-style public matrimonial spectacle – and just watch their ratings go through the roof when that happens.
No one at Rawlco Radio (operating Now! and Up! radio stations) is talking about the nature of the big "reveal," or when it's coming. They spend a lot of money on those billboards, and it works. Now! is the No. 1 station in town. Program director Mark Hunter didn't return calls to talk about this story, though perhaps that has to do with an article we published last fall called Up! Yours! that was somewhat critical of the two stations' programming direction.
It doesn't matter. What's clear is that these lovely couples are selling portions of their personal lives to their listeners, in exchange for popularity, in exchange for ratings, in much the same way as reality TV stars like Kim Kardashian sell themselves because they have nothing else to sell, no creative work apart from themselves, nothing to offer the public beyond their own fabulous lives that are continually made more fabulous in the sale, and let us marvel at the great circle of life.
Old people used to keep a few things to themselves, you may remember: their sex lives, their income, that time dad didn't come home one night; it was a matter of decorum that one didn't air dirty family laundry. Times have changed. We live in an age of brutal honesty and transparency. The Internet hasn't made human interaction more impersonal. Quite the opposite. It's made people eager to share every little detail of their lives with friends and strangers alike, the more the better – and that's the new reality of radio.
Reality radio
Jamie and Dan, hosts of Lite 95.7's morning show, are for the moment Edmonton's only on-air married couple. They've branded themselves as such for most of their married-broadcasting career, having met as teenagers when they were working at a radio station in High River.
They've since shared quite a bit of their personal lives on air.
"That's what radio is these days," says Dan. "You're bringing your life, your stories, to people. If you're not sharing your own personal stories, you're not really doing your job."
During a recent in person interview, Jamie and Dan are eerily EXACTLY like they are on the air. People apparently say that about them all the time. There's no façade here, no secrets, no characters. They say one of their most popular segments that listeners still talk about was at a station in North Bay, Ontario, when Jamie was coming off six weeks maternity leave and doing the show from home. Her husband Dan, meanwhile, was on location in Antigua. So while Dan was sipping Margaritas by the pool, his better half was making breakfast, tending to the baby and trying to get the older kid off to school while trying to do the morning news all at the same time. Tears were shed. Jamie says, "I would joke and say, moms aren't multi taskers, they're hyper taskers – and the moms related. That's what we do on a day to day basis."
It made for good radio, anyway. That's as close as Jamie and Dan have come to actually installing cameras in their home and taping a reality show, which they both agree would be "10 times funnier" and "10 times more tragic" than the radio show – with lots of careful editing, of course. They admit they do have arguments from time to time that don't make it on the air.
Asked if there's anything they won't share with their listeners, Jamie replies, "What do you want to know?"
Dan says, "My vasectomy was fair game."
Jamie laughs, "That was fun."
They've always been this candid, they say, come from families that talked about everything. Moreover, both Jamie and Dan are in their mid-30s, and so were impressionable children when Donahue first appeared on TV, and he was the guy who started this whole "no secrets among strangers" trend. Thanks a bunch, Donahue.
Not all local radio announcers are open books. Sonic's morning man Garner Andrews talks about how he liked the "mystery" of radio. Back in the day, for instance, the only thing you knew about a DJ like Wolfman Jack was his voice.
Andrews says, "I don't share a lot of my personal life on air. I might talk about eating at a certain restaurant, going to folk fest or seeing a certain movie, but the personal stuff doesn't come up very often. The listeners likely know that I'm married, and they may know that I have kids; but as far as the stuff that's really important to them goes, their spouses, their kids, their friends, my stories can't compete."
He's hit on something here. Jamie and Dan aren't out just to talk about themselves. They're sharing with the goal to encourage listeners to share, too, and to help people with their troubles. One recent topic was about the idea that a lot of people who want to get divorced don't do it because it's too expensive, prompting a female caller to tell her story of splitting up to become a broke single mom, "and her telling her real story can change someone's life," Jamie says.
She says she takes inspiration from her cousin, noted aboriginal film director Georgina Lightning, who came from tough times.
"She decided to change her life, to break the cycle of violence, and she made a difference," Jamie says. "But it was only through people she could talk with, sharing their experiences that she could feel strong enough to do that. It's all through talking! Talking can change people's lives."
Jamie and Dan do have some boundaries. "We're radio people," for one thing. They won't be doing a TV reality show in their home any time soon, not unless an "astronomical" amount of money is involved. And they won't say anything on the air that they wouldn't say in front of their kids – the general guidelines for what's appropriate for five- and nine-year-olds being roughly the same as Lite 95.7's core listenership. It's not Terry, Bill and Steve, in other words.
"Just remember my kids are in the back seat," Jamie says. "I don't want my kid blurting out something they heard on a radio show."
Crash and Mars, meanwhile, have been mum on their marriage – devoting most of their shows, as they tend to do, to reading listener texts and laughing about them. Little bits of their married life come through here and there, often as mundane as any married life. Apparently, it was learned recently, Mars spends a lot of time playing a bubble popping game on her iPhone because "it makes me not think," which Crash, her future husband, seems to find amusing. There's lots of material in their future.
Short answer to the million dollar billboard question: They will, they do, and they should. No word on whether they'll be live tweeting their wedding night.

3 Things You Can Do to End Police Killings and Fix the Criminal Justice System
Huffington Post
December 10, 2014
Matthew Cooke and Adrian Grenier
We're doing a lot of talking. That's good. Now let's make them accountable.
Since the shooting of Mike Brown, more than 14 black teens have been killed by the police, including 12-year-old Tamir Rice, a boy in Cleveland, Ohio who was murdered less than two seconds after police arrived at a playground to answer a 911 call related to a black child carrying a pellet gun.
If you're a black teenager you're 21 times more likely to be shot by a police officer than if you're white. So we've been talking about racism.

The toll of the justice system on the wrongfully convicted
The toll of varied laws for compensation for the wrongfully convicted is examined.
In the US, state laws governing compensation for wrongfully convicted people vary significantly. While some states offer sizable packages for the exonerated, at least 20 offer nothing. And even for those that do, it may not be enough to make up for the emotional damage on those who've been wrongfully convicted. Hari Sreenivasan reports.

Nowhere Boy
Even John Lennon didn't know he would be John Lennon.
In the mid-1950s, 15-year-old John wasn't a revolutionary musician. Was he artistic and smart? Absolutely. But his foul mouth and wild streak camouflaged the scared little boy whose parents abandoned him as a small child, leaving him in the care of his strict Aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas). When John spots his mother (Anne-Marie Duff) at a funeral and learns she is living just around the corner, a chain of emotional events ensues that culminates in revelations of family secrets, heartbreak and the formation of John's first rock 'n' roll band.
According to a making-of featurette, Aaron Johnson (best known in the States for the title role in "Kick-Ass") watched and read everything he could about John Lennon — then purposely forgot it all. This is perhaps the best method for anyone playing an icon in their early days. Sure, John proclaimed himself a genius to his exasperated school headmaster — but don't all teenagers believe they're smarter than adults, just misunderstood? Johnson's young Lennon is a teen both typical and not — typical in his moodiness and defiance, but unique in his family history and, later, in his prowess at several instruments and at songwriting.
Thomas and Duff are pitch perfect as two opposite forces in John's life — the overbearing authority figure who opened her home to a little boy no one else wanted and the free spirit with a dark side who often goes overboard in her attempts to reconnect with her first child. Another standout is Thomas Brodie Sangster ("Love Actually") as young Paul McCartney, whose quiet presence provides a foil for John's brash personality and who provides guidance on the guitar and in life, as someone else who lost his mother too soon.
The best biopics provide the audience with an insight into the early days of an artist and the underpinnings of who they will be when they share their gifts with the world. As "Nowhere Boy" skillfully shows us, John Lennon's young life was filled with confusion and pain. But without these tough times, the teenager from Liverpool may not have grown into the musical force whose work continues to change lives today.
Special features are sparse but insightful: two deleted scenes and two featurettes, which include an interview with a premier Beatles historian.

The 2018 Kia Sorento has ascended into midsize crossover SUV mainstream, and it should be a keen choice for shoppers looking for a three-row family hauler that's easy to drive.
One advantage the Sorento brings into the fray is that it can be tailored to any customer. There are three different engines available: a base non-turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder; and a 3.3-liter V6. Those powerplants all come mated to a six-speed automatic transmission churning either the front wheels or all four of them.
Particularly when equipped with the V6, the Sorento is a refined and sophisticated everyday driving companion. And it's versatile, too, with five- and seven-passenger configuration. Save the rearmost seat for the kids, however.
With its multiple personalities, the Sorento can be considered an alternative to virtually any crossover, from basic compacts to three-row large crossovers. Fuel consumption naturally varies according to powertrain choice. The best EPA-estimated fuel economy numbers come with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive, while the lowest ratings are generated by the Sorentos with the 3.3-liter V6. The turbocharged four-cylinder EX model's fuel economy is closer to the base four-cylinder's than the V6's, but we suspect that in real-world driving the four-cylinders won't do much better than the V6.
With its wide range of talents, even wider range of options and overall versatility, the Sorento attracts, no surprise, a wide range of buyers. It's one of Kia's best-selling vehicles and the largest crossover the company makes.
Deciding which Sorento is right for you takes some solid research, and seeking out some good advice is always a good idea. And you've already taken a good first step by starting your buying journey here at Edmunds.

Vehicle EX 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl 6A)
Review This seems like a really nice car. Only have had it a couple weeks, but it drives easily, very smooth comfortable ride.. and I test drove a couple others. Very easy to get in and out. Even 2nd row seats are comfortable and easily accessible, and recline (and I am tall). I love that it takes regular grade gasoline and I have been averaging about 19 mpg in the city.

Health chiefs have been criticised by a charity following their decision to axe antenatal classes for pregnant women across 1066 Country.
East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (ESHT), which runs the Conquest Hospital, Eastbourne's DGH and the birthing centre in Crowborough, said the move was taken due to dwindling numbers.
It added that more expectant mothers were accessing what they needed about childbirth on the internet.
But the National Childbirth Trust (NCT), which provides support for parents through antenatal and postnatal courses, said antenatal sessions for expectant mothers were vital for face-to-face contact and advice.
Elizabeth Duff, the charity's senior policy adviser, said: "We are disappointed that these courses are being cut. Being able to ask questions and share common concerns and interests helps many parents feel informed and better prepared for their baby's arrival. It's important that parents aren't left to rely solely on online resources as these won't always provide the necessary support."
Lisa Powell, a yoga teacher and therapist for pregnant mums, said: "As a practicing prenatal yoga teacher in the Hastings area I find women are very keen to join classes to help them understand their pregnancy more and prepare them for the birth and changes to come. It is through these sessions that they get to meet other women who are pregnant thereby forming social circles for when baby comes and to have a place they can meet weekly where they feel nurtured and understood. These things are not to be found on the internet."
ESHT said there were around four classes a month in the Hastings and Rother area.
Jenny Crowe, the trust's deputy head of midwifery, said: "Following a review of attendance at our parent education classes which showed that fewer people had been attending, we decided that from July we would no longer provide these sessions. We were made aware that many women already access the internet for this information and we already direct women and their families to our maternity website where a wealth of information can be found including virtual tours of our maternity units. Our community midwives continue to provide help and information at antenatal check-ups and we continue to provide a physiotherapy for pregnancy class, breastfeeding workshop and baby resuscitation class. The NCT also provides classes which are available locally."
