Update from Myanmar
An update from friends on the ground in Myanmar tell us that the situation continues to be dire and that every bit of help that we can muster will save lives.
"The skies have turned anthracite grey this afternoon in Yangon – an ominous sign that heavy rains are on their way in a few minutes. Winds are pushing the temporary plastic windows up against the back of my chair as I write. On my desk are photographs taken earlier this week of families in the Irrawaddy Delta huddled under a fallen tree during a downpour. These are dark days in Myanmar.
The magnitude of the crisis here is almost unimaginable. The latest realistic estimates are that over 100,000 people have died and about 2 million people are affected. It's hard to get one's head around this. We've had our staff out in the affected areas for over thirteen days now. They come back and forth with so many tragic stories. Whole families drowned. Sole survivors of an entire village. People with broken hips and major injuries with no one to care for them. Houses obliterated by 120mph winds. Countless swollen dead bodies floating in the small creeks and rivers that crisscross the Delta. Skin sandblasted raw from the wind. Families stripped of all of their possessions by the cyclone. Suicidal survivors. Traumatized children.
Almost two weeks after the cyclone tore through the Delta, thousands of families are now lined up along the high ground of rural roads with nothing to eat and virtually no shelter. Hundreds and hundreds of devastated but accessible villages have still not received one ounce of assistance. A massive public health crisis is emerging as people who are weak, traumatized, malnourished and often injured have no shelter or food. Children and elderly people with diarrhea are wasting away. The amount of aid reaching victims in just a trickle compared to the millions of people in desperate need.
Margaret, we are grateful for all of the funds Global Giving is able to raise. Support is badly needed for this relief stage and also for the recovery stage over the next 125 days. We can assure contributers that their assistance is really getting to people in need, right now, every day."

Whole Wheat Linguine With Pancetta, Peas, Corn, and Mint Recipe
Taking advantage of late spring and early summer produce, this easy one-pot pasta combines crispy bites of pancetta with peas, corn, and mint for a refreshing and filling weeknight meal. With minimal prep work, this tasty dish can be on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Why this recipe works:
- Adding the corn and peas at the end barely cooks them, preserving their delicious sweet flavor.
- Stirring in extra-virgin olive oil at the end helps loosen up the sauce and prevents the noodles from sticking.
Note: Keep in mind that pancetta is fairly salty, so season with care.

- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 25 minutes
- Total time:25 minutes
- ¼ pound pancetta, thinly sliced and cut into 1/2-inch strips lengthwise
- 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
- Pinch dried red chili flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 quart homemade chicken stock or store-bought low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 pound whole-wheat linguini, broken in half
- 1 cup fresh or frozen shelled peas
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
In a Dutch oven, large pot, or 12-inch skillet, cook pancetta over medium heat until most of the fat has rendered and the pancetta is crispy, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to a plate.
In the same Dutch oven, add shallot and chili flakes and cook over medium heat until shallot is softened, about 2 minutes. Add stock, scraping up any browned bits. Add pasta and season with salt and pepper. Boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente and most of the stock has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in corn and peas and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
Off the heat, stir in lemon juice, olive oil, and pancetta. Season with salt and pepper, and top with mint. Serve right away.

How Would Your Small Business Fare with the IRS for Worker Status?
Did you know that misclassifying workers is one of the top problems that small business owners face? Many small businesses hire independent contractors as part of running their businesses and delivering services or products. It is vital for employers to ensure that they classify workers correctly.
What Can Happen as Result of Misclassifying Workers as Independent Contractors?
The IRS website explains that misclassified workers can file a Social Security Tax Form 8919. Form 8919 is a request for uncollected Social Security and Medicare taxes due on their compensation. In other words, the employer could owe a considerable amount of compensation to the worker because the worker paid the Social Security and Medicare taxes instead of the employer, due to the fact the worker was misclassified as an independent contractor.
What Recourse Do You Have If You Believe the Worker Has Not Been Misclassified?
The IRS recognizes the fact that you may have had a reasonable basis for classifying a worker as an independent contractor and not as an employee. Therefore, relief provisions are granted in such cases. However, you must file all the necessary federal information returns to establish your basis for relief. (See section 530 Employment Tax Relief Requirements).
What is the Voluntary Classification Settlement Program?
The Voluntary Classification Settlement Program (VCSP) offers employers the option of reclassifying workers as employees for future tax periods. It also provides partial relief from federal employment taxes when the employers agree to classify their workers or a class or group of workers as employees. Employers must meet certain eligibility requirements to be allowed to participate in this voluntary program.
Our attorneys at Stephen Hans & Associates are glad to answer your questions and provide legal guidance to help you comply with employment laws or provide you with representation in disputed employment issues.

Duration: 365 days
On feeling
I think the thrill of the Pagan stories and of romance may be due to the fact that they are mere beginnings—the first, faint whisper of the wind from beyond the world—while Christianity is the thing itself: and no thing, when you have really started on it, can have for you then and there just the same thrill as the first hint. For example, the experience of being married and bringing up a family cannot have the old bittersweet of first falling in love. But it is futile (and, I think, wicked) to go on trying to get the old thrill again: you must go forward and not backward. Any real advance will in its turn be ushered in by a new thrill, different from the old: doomed in its turn to disappear and to become in its turn a temptation to retrogression. Delight is a bell that rings as you set your foot on the first step of a new flight of stairs leading upwards. Once you have started climbing you will notice only the hard work: it is when you have reached the landing and catch sight of the new stair that you may expect the bell again. This is only an idea, and may be all rot: but it seems to fit in pretty well with the general law (thrills also must die to live) of autumn & spring, sleep and waking, death and resurrection, and "Whosoever loseth his life, shall save it."

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
Depending on the amount of friends you are connected with on the social media sites, often the thought of reviewing the posts of others seems daunting.
Even with Facebook, for instance, sorting through friends' posts (even with FB determining what you want to see) brings with it a myriad of issues. Being connected to businesses on these sites even makes finding engaging content more difficult. How much is truly relevant to you? Your consumers are asking themselves the same thing before they even decide whom to follow and unfollow. So how do you stay intriguing and worth following? By offering a buffet of social media postings.
Many social media experts have their own ideas (or acronyms) about what content your dealership should be sharing with fans. The truth is, short of a running stream of your inventory, all answers are correct. There could be someone that follows your page that finds value in every piece of content you post. Or you might update your status with something that only one person "Likes". Or no one. While there are some statistical reports citing the most engaging items to post, we at DealerKnows believe you should simply blend together a little bit of everything. Post a smorgasboard of soc med-style content.
When choosing what to post, realize that you shouldn't act like a dealership, but still remember that you are a dealership. Don't be pitchy. Don't feed into stereotypes. Don't be too "sales-oriented". Instead, be brand, community, fun, and familial in orientation.
Here are a few things that we see consumers and "fans" responding to, commenting on, sharing, retweeting, and "Liking" across the social channels.
(In no particular order)
There are countless others (though, as I mentioned, I recommend that almost no inventory is ever scene or discussed.) You are a dealership so you don't need to remind them that you have cars for sale there. Truth is, to be successful on social media, you have to stop thinking about yourself as a dealership, but instead, think of yourself as a company that helps out the local community. Carry that underlying mindset and you'll be well-served delivering posts so full of likable, yet different content that you'll see a wide array of people sampling your social profile.
Giving people a social media smorgasboard of posts to review makes you more well-rounded. Like any delectable sampling of food does.

The demographics of Social Media users: http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2013/Social-media-users.aspx
Manny - Thank you!
David - Absolutely. A company that is as dedicated to the content posting strategy in play below must also recognize that it is their responsibility to stay aware and engaged after each post as well. Great addition to the conversation.
Tom - You couldn't be more right. Buy-in is critical yet so few dealers are hiring a full-time dedicated individual for this role, but instead make it more of a "side project" that will never fully develop without constant care and attention.
Good post. I'd like to add that while posting content that people find valuable is great it's even more important that the dealership be present in the conversation surrounding it. I don't want to pick on just dealerships because it happens in industry after industry that a good piece of content is shared and it sparks a conversations but the business is not involved in the thread of comments that come after it.
That's why I like to point out that one of the best way's for a dealership to come across as human is to have a dialogue on your social sites, it's what it's there for after all.
Not enough adjectives to describe the amount of wisdom here - for ALL businesses. . . FB is already over-saturated. I think forward-thinking stores would allocate a portion of budget just for social media - not just to pay for someone to do it at least part time, but treat it like a sponsorship -
people still use the WIIFM filter - have a monthy iPad giveaway. test drive incentive. pet videos. etc.
Gary - Absolutely. It is hard to know the best content to post if you haven't first researched the engagement on the posts with the tools available. Good insight on the linking to the charities to ensure a more "sharable" content.
Alexander - People and, more importantly, cooperation are imperative to any long-term content posting strategy. In the end, someone has to find, research, and create many of these elements I've listed. As we all know, it takes a village, but it is better if it is a village of people that understand what is truly for the common good.
This might be all good info, but if there isn't a dedicated outreach / community team and someone writing this content or driving it, it makes it very difficult for the dealership to perform these social media tasks. You're asking for a lot. I supported a super-dealership in my previous job, they had an outreach team and someone that wrote it, so it was easy to get that original content and place it socially. Granted, they had the money and resources to do it. You're going to find it hard to convince smaller dealerships in doing this, at least on a consistent / best practice basis. That's when a dealership acts like a dealership, because they are forced to, with little content else.
Nice Joe, agreed. Only one missing component that is the real ingredient to ensure at least nominal, if not significant, improvement over time: Use analytics (Facebook's back end for example) to see how many people are interacting with your content. Remember that "likes" on posts do the least to move your content to more people's home stream. And if some of the posts about the "more sharable" content (charity, etc.) have links to the main page (as in a Charity page with photos, videos and links to involved companies on the dealership's website) and those drive traffic.
Posting content for content's sake is as exciting as watching a new digital wheel alignment....or paint dry. Which ever is more obnoxious...
Thanks, Jim.
Good stuff Joe!

Verizon's Cure for CrackBerry Addiction: Android
Another handful of worrisome data points for Research in Motion, which appears to be slipping down carriers' priority lists as the BlackBerry struggles for purchase in an increasingly sophisticated market. New Verizon sales metrics from ITG Investment Research analyst Matthew Goodman paint a picture of RIM that, while not yet dire, describe a worrisome trend.
According to Goodman, who obtains his data from independent wireless retailers, 80 percent of smartphone sales at Verizon in November were Android devices (46 percent of those were Droids). Which is astonishing for two reasons. 1.) That's a huge percentage for a relatively new mobile OS in a very competitive market. 2.) In December of 2008, RIM was touting the BlackBerry as Verizon's best-selling device. In two years, it's gone from a flagship to a johnboat.
And with Android continuing to lead smartphone sales growth at Verizon, it seems increasingly unlikely that the BlackBerry will ever reclaim its lost title. With sales of the Tour/Bold series dwindling and no Storm refresh in sight, BlackBerry sales at Verizon are in serious decline. They dropped 45 percent year-over-year in the third quarter of this year, and Goodman sees them trending down 49 percent YOY in the fourth.
An ugly and humiliating decline, and worrisome. Because if the BlackBerry is faring this poorly against Android at Verizon, how will it fare against Android and the iPhone, which is widely expected to debut on the carrier's network next year?
No wonder Verizon doesn't think the upcoming launch of BlackBerry 6 devices on its network will have a "material impact" on sales. Why would it?
Incidentally, if you haven't yet checked out our coverage of RIM Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis's appearance at D:Mobile earlier this week, you should.

Obama's Team to Clarify Health Care Penalties | Families
David Jackson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration is seeking to clarify penalty rules for people who delay signing up for coverage under the new health care law.
Simply put: People who wait until the end of the initial enrollment period - March 31 - will not be penalized.
The Obama administration is preparing legal guidance to address a confusion of dates in the law, which says people must sign up by the 15th of one month to receive coverage on the first of the next month.
That means someone who signed up after Feb. 15 would not be covered until April 1 - and the law also says that people who go three months without coverage are subject to penalties, $95 or 1% of income, whichever is higher.
That is not the case, the White House says.
Officials at the Department of Health and Human Services "are working to align the policies, the disconnect between the open enrollment period and the individual responsibility timeframes, which exist on the first year only," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
In effect, the guidance means that people have an extra month and a half to sign up for a health care exchange without penalty, though the enrollment period still ends March 31.
In the meantime, HHS officials are also working to fix problems with the HealthCare.gov website, which is blocking some people from enrolling in health exchanges.

Archaeological Society of New Jersey
Newsletter Editor and Executive Board Member
On Wednesday July 27, 2016, I devoted time to the Archaeological Society of New Jersey. Newsletters were printed for mailing to new society members. Emails from Executive Board Members were reviewed to ensure events, deadlines, and other organization tasks were addressed. One of major tasks the society is publishing a professional bulletin with articles about archaeology in the Garden State. I am editing an article about Native American flake stone tools that were excavated from a stratified site on the Delaware River floodplain near Frenchtown New Jersey. The results of microscopic analysis of flake tools are presented in the article. Editing involves checking grammar, formatting the manuscript, and reviewing the research design, archaeological data and conclusions. Publishing excavation results is a key responsibility in archaeology. It is eye opening to see how much effort goes into writing, editing, and prepared articles for publication in journals and bulletins. The membership dues to the Archaeological Society of New Jersey help fund the printing costs of the bulletin. Please consider joining the Archaeological Society of New Jersey to receive a copy of future bulletins.

Hamilton heads to Brazil on a winning high
Lewis Hamilton will bid farewell to McLaren as he heads over to Mercedes on a new contract.
LONDON - Lewis Hamilton will say an emotional farewell to McLaren in Brazil next weekend as a winner, even if Formula One's season-ending race is all about someone else taking the title.
The 2008 world champion had wanted to celebrate one last triumph before heading off to Mercedes and success in Sunday's U.S. Grand Prix, should that be his last win for McLaren, ticked all the boxes.
The Briton had won on Formula One's last visit to the States in 2007 and picking up where he left off meant a lot to a 27-year-old already spending an increasing amount of time in the country.
Hamilton now heads to Interlagos, where he won his 2008 championship, for one last hurrah for a team he has been a part of since they started backing him as a promising 14-year-old.
"I think the last race in Brazil is going to be a really emotional sendoff for us all, team and driver and family," his father Anthony said in Austin after joining the race winner for the team victory photograph.
"The Hamiltons are synonymous with McLaren and vice-versa and I think we are all going to miss each other," he told Sky television. "But to be honest I think it's nice to go off to greener pastures and see whether you can develop something new in your life."
On Sunday McLaren gave Hamilton the car and he delivered sensationally, passing Red Bull's championship leader Sebastian Vettel to take the win and deliver just the boost his team had been looking for.
"We were talking of just getting a win in, that would be the icing on the cake," said Hamilton, who is out of a title chase that now only involves Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
"Even if we go to the next one and it's not spectacular, at least we have this one. But of course I'm going to go to the next race hoping we can do it again."
The victory was Hamilton's fourth of the season and he could have also won in Singapore and Abu Dhabi had he not been sidelined by mechanical failures.
The problem in Abu Dhabi two weeks ago, when Hamilton was leading comfortably, was a hard blow for the team as well as the driver and Sunday, with the rocket red victory shirts bursting out, brought the smiles back.
"It's been brilliant for the team and we needed it, we really did need that one together," said team principal Martin Whitmarsh.
"We faltered a little bit this year, we've had a quick car and we haven't done as good a job as we expect of ourselves. These things are really important to the team and we are going to go into Brazil on a high and make sure we can do a good job there," he added.
Hamilton will soon be turning his focus on Mercedes - a team who looked woefully uncompetitive on Sunday and whose sole success since they took over the title-winning Brawn GP outfit in 2009 came this year.
The driver has recognised that it could be a while before he wins again but his father said there were no regrets.
"It's nice to have challenges in life," said the man whose parents immigrated to Britain from the West Indies island of Grenada and who held down several jobs at once to get his karting son onto the motor racing ladder.
"One of our greatest ever challenges were coming from a council house to Formula One. I never ever believed that would happen to us. Then Lewis becomes a Formula One champion and now we are almost rebuilding the challenge."

Some people count sheep, others take pills. Some have amazing sex 'til they collapse in sticky pools of their own man or lady goo. Me, I fall asleep by thinking up different introductions to our weekly charts round-up. What a life!
Another approach to enticing slumber guaranteed to result in success is to take a look at this Monday's charts, and the absolute predictability of them: Mika, unsurprisingly, hangs on to the number one slot in the singles chart, while The View's timely release of their debut long-player pays off with it soaring to the summit of the albums chart. Is it any good? DiS's own Colin Roberts thinks so. His Mansun records are reportedly ashamed.
Singles-wise, Just Jack's 'Starz In Their Eyes' remains at two, Mason's much-aired 'Exceeder' rises to three, JoJo (pictured - is she still officially jailbait?) sees her 'Too Little Too Late' stay at four, and the top five is finished off by The View's 'Same Jeans'. It doesn't really sound all that much like 'Brimful Of Asha'. Much.
If that isn't a top five of terror, then I didn't stay up past midnight last night watching Big Brother's Big Mouth. I did. I wish I hadn't. Couldn't sleep after, what with that chicken carcass in the toilet. Should have thought harder about this article. Might've got me off to sleep sooner. Three am: here's me, wandering the halls. And the floor's a little slippy, you know.
Survival instincts have seen me through, you'll be pleased to read. Also pleased as punch to be here, alive and well, today is ex-Blur-er Damon Albarn, whose new combo The Good The Bad & The Queen see their self-titled debut album land at two, a place below the all-conquering but undeniably dull-of-song Scots. Kids, seriously: you talk the talk, but where's the fire in your songs? C'mon, really…
The rest of the top five? Amy Winehouse's tattoos are hanging around at three – Back To Black was number one last week – while James Morrison is anything but Undiscovered at four and The Fratellis are anything but good at five with Costello Music. I hate The Fratellis, srsly. Sorry.
New entries in the singles chart look like this: 'Golden Skans' by soon-to-be-featured-on-the-front-page sorts Klaxons is at seven, although that's not really a new entry; Bloc Party's oh-so-precious 'The Prayer' is bloody good at 13; Little Man Tate's shit-awful 'Sexy In Latin' is at 20; and Keane's 'A Bad Dream' is new at 23. It's better than that Little Man Tate song, truefact.
Albums: The Cooper Temple Clause's Make This Your Own is the third-highest new entry at 33. Like, well done the albums chart: you suck. Stop buying Snow Patrol albums already. Burn that shit, who cares.
There are no other new entries in the top 40 albums.
I'm gonna sub-edit all of Just Jack's lyrics now, 'til I fall asleep. The stupid 'z'-loving foo'.

Sudden cardiac arrest may not always be so sudden.
In a study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2013, more than half of 567 men who experienced cardiac arrest had prior symptoms. Most of the symptoms — including chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, faintness or palpitations — occurred four weeks to one hour before their hearts suddenly stopped.
In the United States, only 9.5 percent of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside of a hospital survive.
People who immediately get CPR and a defibrillator to shock the heart back to a normal rhythm have a better chance of survival.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: San Antonio Radio Host Nearly Gets His Ass Kicked By Charles Barkley [Video]
Charles Barkley made some comments recently about the women of San Antonio, saying that all of them were fat and unattractive. He even went so far as to imitate these women stuffing their faces with churros in hilarious fashion.
It seems, though, he was just trolling, and that he doesn't actually feel that way. Basically, this was all in good fun.
When Chuck rolled into a San Antonio bar recently, he was confronted by a local radio host who wanted to get to the bottom of his comments.
He was persistent, which obviously irritated Barkley. The Mound Round of Rebound wasted no time calling in his bodyguard to take care of the radio guy.

Today I'm very thankful for good friends.
Amy has a beautiful baby boy--have I mentioned that? :) Today she brought him to work so I could have some kisses. And yup, she lets me kiss and kiss and kiss. I'd probably kiss her cheeks, too, if it wasn't too weird. But I love her just that much.
My friend, Tahnee, said all the right things today when I was having a mini-meltdown. She is sarcastic and hilarious and sweet and good and spiritual--all within one wonderful conversation.
Over the past few weeks I've had some sweet, wonderful comments from nieces and "adopted" daughters and dear friends.
Tonight I pulled a meeting together to plan our ward Christmas party. The people who came to help were willing and happy and helpful. What more could I ask for?
I consider the ways that my friends have blessed my life, and this list could go on and on. Joanne taught me about being a safe harbor. Sylvia taught me about wearing your life out in service. Char taught me about listening and doing good just for the sake of doing good. Cathy taught me about loving someone the way the Savior would love them. Janet taught me about expecting the best from others. Charlotte taught me about being obedient. Sami taught me about sharing joy in everything. Mona taught me about loving with your whole heart. MaryAnn taught me about giving and giving and giving. Jen taught me about laughter in situations that might otherwise be very difficult. Stacy taught me about finding the good in everyone. Karleen taught me about living by faith. LouAnn taught me about accepting people just as they are. Brenda taught me about being comfortable in being confident. And this is just scratching the surface.
I have friends who are men, too, and they have blessed my life immeasurably, too.
The world is full of good people. Just keep your eyes open--they're probably standing right next to you!

I am not a biologist, but I know there exist three variants of photosynthesis, namely C3, C4 and CAM.
I would like to know what type is used by the ocean's phytoplankton? It might also be that different photosynthetic mechanisms are used by the bacteria vs. algae. I have searched the web, but the information I find is too broad.

LATE NIGHT TV: Leno to leave NBC's 'Tonight Show' next spring
NEW YORK >> NBC on Wednesday announced its long-rumored switch in late night, replacing Jay Leno at the "Tonight" show with Jimmy Fallon and moving the iconic franchise back to New York.
Fallon will take over in about a year, the switch coinciding with NBC's Winter Olympics coverage next year. Veteran "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels also will take over as executive producer of "Tonight."
NBC made no announcement on who would replace Fallon at the 12:35 a.m. "Late Night" slot, although Seth Meyers of "Saturday Night Live" is considered a strong candidate.
The change at "Tonight," the longest-running and most popular late-night talk show, had been widely reported but not confirmed by the network until Wednesday. NBC reportedly just wrapped up negotiations with Fallon on a contract extension.
Steve Burke, chief executive officer of NBC Universal, said the network is purposefully making the move when Leno is still at the top of the ratings, just as when Leno replaced Johnny Carson at "Tonight" in 1992.
"Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and this is his time," Burke said.
Leno, in a statement, offered his congratulations to Fallon.
"I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy," he said. "If you need me, I'll be at the garage."
Fallon said: "I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow."
NBC has been quietly building a new studio for Fallon at its Rockefeller Center headquarters. "Tonight" began in New York in the 1950s, but Carson moved it to California in 1972. Starting next year, Fallon, Letterman, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will tape late-night shows in New York. ABC's Jimmy Kimmel and TNT's Conan O'Brien will be the top California-based shows.
"The `Tonight' show will bring even more jobs and economic activity to our city, and we couldn't be happier that one of New York's own is bringing the show back to where it started, and where it belongs," said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
New York state recently added a tax credit in its budget that seemed designed specifically to benefit NBC's move East with "Tonight."
While a storied part of television tradition, the network late-night shows find themselves with much more competition now with cable programs like "Adult Swim," smaller talk shows hosted by the Comedy Central duo of Stewart and Colbert, Chelsea Handler and a device -- a large number of people take that time to watch programs they had taped earlier on their DVRs.
NBC is worried that ABC's Kimmel will establish himself as a go-to late night performer for a younger generation if the network doesn't move swiftly to install Fallon. ABC moved Kimmel's time slot to directly compete with Leno earlier this year.
But the move also has the potential to backfire with Leno's fans, who did not embrace O'Brien when Leno was temporarily moved to prime time a few years ago.
"The guys at NBC are not totally stupid and are not going to shoot themselves in the foot," said Gary Carr, senior vice president and executive director of national broadcast for the ad buying firm TargetCast. "I think it's a good move for them long-term. But it may have short-term ramifications."
NBC has long prided itself on smooth transitions but that reputation took a hit with the short-lived and ill-fated move of O'Brien to "Tonight" and Leno to prime-time a few years ago. In morning television, the "Today" show has taken a ratings nose dive in large measure because of anger at how Ann Curry was treated when she was ousted last year as Matt Lauer's co-host.
The Leno-Fallon changeover didn't begin smoothly. Leno had been cracking jokes about NBC's prime-time futility, angering NBC entertainment chief Robert Greenblatt, who sent a note to Leno telling him to cool it. That only made Leno go after NBC management much harder.
The first public effort toward making the transition smooth came Monday night, when Leno and Fallon appeared in a comic video making fun of the late-night rumors. It aired in between each man's show.
John Dawson, general manager for five NBC affiliates that have extensive reach throughout Kansas, said it will be difficult to give up a program that wins its time period by 33 percent.
"Jay has always been a great friend to the affiliates," he said. "For that alone it will be hard to give up."
But he said he believes in Fallon and in NBC's corporate owners Comcast, the nation's largest cable company.
"Comcast certainly knows how to launch entertainment programming," Dawson said.
Associated Press television writers Lynn Elber in Los Angeles and Frazier Moore in New York contributed to this report.

Not sure what you mean they can see your email address? Where can they see it?
I didn't know people could see your email address. I change my email address. It's works fine. The problem is the email I joined up with is still there for poeple to see..How can this email be changed ?
Not sure what you mean they can see your email address? Where can they see it?
On the Top list...
If people email you from there they see your email addy.
If you mean when members of your toplist use the form to send you a message, they actually can't see your email address.
Yes thats find. But I changed the email address. It is still showing the first one I had. I would just like it the be the one I changed it to.
I get the emails to the new one no worrys.
My question is how do you change what people see.
Changed it where? Please tell me what your old email address was and what you want it changed to, and exactly where you changed it? You can pm me the info.
Hi Dave,
I sent you a pm the other day. Just incase you did recevie it. Or looked in your box.
You have a bunch of pm's
For anyone who's been following this thread....
The members of your toplist can't see your email address. They can only see their own address. When they send a message to you through the script, the "To" field is hidden. It doesn't show that anywhere.
The "Reply-to" field is the only email address that they can see. That is their own email address that they entered when they added their site to the toplist. In this case, the manager of the top list happened to be logged in to her own member account (site that she added to her own toplist) sending a test message to herself, that is why she could see her own email address.
That doesn't sound like it makes a lot of sense... let me try it this way. If I joined her toplist and used firstname.lastname@example.com as the email address for my site, then sent her a message through the admin area, it would say something like:
Email sent
To: (hidden)
Reply-to: email@example.com
etc... etc...
In this case, she added her own site to her own toplist, so obviously, her email address was shown in the Reply-to field.
Yep I get it. Head going into the bucket now ops:

KC wins streetcar lawsuit
Judge says challenges should have been filed within 30 days
A Jackson County Judge has ruled that challenges to proposed streetcars in downtown Kansas City were filed too late to be legal.
The ruling by Judge Peggy Stevens McGraw clears the way for more development of the estimated $100 million, 2-mile line from the River Market.
The judge ruled that challenges to the election should have been filed within 30 days of the certification of the election. The streetcar election victory was certified on Dec. 12.
The challenge to the vote was not filed until Jan. 31 -- 50 days after the election certification.
The judge called the challenger "untimely election contests," and were barred by Missouri law. That ruling cover the last three of the four-count lawsuit.
The first count, challenging the legality of the sales tax for the district, was also dismissed. The ruling said that challenge also had a time problem.
The judge ruled any challenge to that should have been filed within 30 days of the April 27, 2012, announcement of an intention to create the district., and the challenge was not filed in time.

Icy Aftermath
Electric co-ops' struggle to recover from January
ice storm doesn't end now that power is restored.
by Bob McEowen
Ice is an electric co-op
manager's worst nightmare.
The combination of rain and
temperatures hovering at the freezing mark spells disaster. As ice forms
wires sag and then break. Poles snap like toothpicks. Anchors pull from
the ground, toppling entire stretches of power lines.
That's exactly what happened
on the morning of Jan. 30 as freezing rain left a 50-mile- wide band
of destruction from Kansas City to the Mississippi River. Osage Valley
Electric Cooperative, based in Butler, was the first Missouri co-op
to see just how severe the storm would prove to be.
"During the first several
hours of Wednesday morning we thought we were handling most of it pretty
well ourselves," says Jon McClure, manager of the co-op which serves
14,000 members, primarily in Cass, Bates and Henry counties to the south
of Kansas City. "But
as the day progressed reports kept coming in that places where we had
been before were starting to go down again.
"We had one area where we
had 3 miles (of line) go down right in a row and then another area where
we had a mile go down," McClure says. "We
could see there was just no way we were going to keep ahead of it."
Before night fell more than
8,500 of the co-op's members were without power.
As always happens in times
like these, McClure turned to his neighbors for help. A call to the
Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives in Jefferson City activated
the co-ops' emergency response procedure. Quickly
crews from outside the storm's path packed their tools, called their
wives and headed into the fray. Many of those men would not return home
for a week.
To the east electric co-ops
braced for the worst. They got it.

"I've been here 40-some years
and it's the worst storm we've ever had," says Darrel Rinne, interim
manager of West Central Electric, the next co-op to be hit as the storm
passed through Lafayette and Johnson counties, knocking out power to
9,000 of the co-op's 12,000 members.
All told, 11 Missouri co-ops
suffered major outages. Besides Osage Valley and West Central the storm
struck co-ops based in Sedalia, Chillicothe, Kearney, Fayette, Columbia,
Palmyra, Lewistown, Lamar and El Dorado Springs. Three other systems,
in Mexico, Tipton and New London, had outages which lasted a day or
The heroic effort to restore
power saw co-op linemen working 16 hour days. Crews from 23 Missouri
systems rushed to help. Even co-ops in the storm's path lent a hand
once their own power was restored.
In addition, co-ops enlisted
the help of independent electrical contractors and right-of-way crews
to repair lines and clear fallen trees and brush. Even that was not
enough to gain ground as some systems' lines continued to collapse well
after the rain stopped.
"We had worked this thing
for two days and come Thursday night we lost 40 or 50 poles because
the wind picked up," recalls Wayne Hackman, manager of Macon Electric
Cooperative, which lost power to nearly 70 percent of its 11,000 members.
"That really blew us away.
We thought we were headed down the road of recovery and boy, we come
in the next morning and we've got lines on the ground."
Despite set-backs, electric
co-ops managed to reconstruct systems that had taken years to build.
That does not mean these systems returned to their pre-storm condition,
"You just do what you have
to to get power back on and then you go back and finish it up later,"
says Rinne, who called on his experience as manager, operations superintendent,
lineman and brush crewman out in the field guiding visiting crews.
Indeed, even though the
power is back on, co-ops have a lot of work yet to do.
"We've got some nasty looking
lines," says Hackman, whose co-op office was running on a standby generator
two days after the storm. "We've got a whole series of lines where the
poles are setting at an angle because an anchor gave way. Somewhere
along the line we have to go back and straighten that out.
"Then you've got the whole
issue of right of way," he says. "We've
cut trees all over the place. We've got to go back and address cleaning
that up at some point in time. But that's going to have a pretty low
While repairing the obvious
damage from the storm will take months, other effects will be felt for
"All of these poles have
some kind of stress or ground disturbance that is going to weaken the
system," says McClure. "Ten, 15 years from now, you're going to lose
the life of that pole that may have lasted longer."
And then there are the financial
effects of a major ice storm. All that vital help from neighboring co-ops
and contract crews must be paid for. There's also wire and poles, crossarms
and hardware.
The cost is staggering.
Hackman says the Jan. 30 storm
cost Macon Electric $750,000. West Central Electric puts the damage
at nearly $2 million.
Most of the affected parts
of the state have been declared disaster areas by the federal government
so co-ops can count on relief money to cover some of their expenses.
Still, the storm will have a significant impact on a co-op's financial
"It definitely affects the
margins for this year," says McClure. "You have to make up that loss
before you can allocate any capital credits."
Considering hardship on members,
strain on co-op employees, long-term damage to systems and financial
losses it's hard to find any silver lining in the clouds which brought
the January storm. Still, without exception, co-ops report members responded
to the storm with strength and appreciation for their co-ops.
"People were out of power
four and five days but even being out that long everybody is thanking
us for getting it back on. They now realize how important electricity
is to them," says Hackman. "We've got our whole break room full of notes
from people and there isn't over two or three that have any negative
"It makes our employees
feel good and makes me feel good, too," he says.

Headquartered in Rome, Ministry of the Interior is responsible for safety, immigration, elections and public emergency services. The ministry's web portals provide important online services and information for Italian citizens. The IT organization within the ministry supports approximately 23,000 government employees, as well as roughly 50,000 indirect users of its services.
As a public high-profile set of government services, the web portals and backend web applications of Ministry of the Interior are a target for hackers and other malicious groups. "Denial of service attacks impact the image of our ministry, especially if an attack happens during an election when everyone looks to our website for up-to-date information," says Stefano Plantemoli, the ministry's IT network and security manager. To protect its infrastructure from attack and maintain the trust of its citizens, the ministry's IT organization opted to deploy an additional layer of defense before launching a new online payment system for citizens.
To add a new layer of defense, Citrix proposed that the ministry replace its aging load-balancing equipment with Citrix NetScaler SDX appliances. Citrix NetScaler SDX combines both a web application firewall and an application delivery controller to optimize, secure and control the delivery of applications. During a production proof of concept for the proposed solution, the ministry's IT team turned off its intrusion prevention system to test the security capabilities of the new appliance. NetScaler SDX detected a serious threat to the ministry website, protecting the web application and enabling it to continue running without interruption.
Based on this successful demonstration, the ministry obtained the budget to replace its load-balancing equipment with NetScaler SDX and engaged Citrix Consulting to help deploy the new appliances. "Citrix NetScaler SDX offers a tremendous advantage for us because it provides networking, load balancing and web application security all in one appliance," says Plantemoli. "We are particularly impressed by NetScaler's ability to balance the database load depending on the content of SQL queries." Today the ministry relies on NetScaler SDX to secure and provide access to more than 25 different applications and databases.
As part of the ministry's defense-in-depth security strategy, NetScaler SDX adds a layer of protection that helps block attacks on the ministry's web portals and backend web applications—threats that other security products might miss. "By protecting our portals at the application level, NetScaler provides much better defense against complex attacks," says Plantemoli. "It gives us greater protection to keep our online services available to citizens and protected from attack."
Now that NetScaler SDX is in place, the ministry's IT team has the confidence in its security strategy to deploy a new online public entry-exam system for state-level employment, knowing that a sophisticated set of cyberdefenses will protect it. "With NetScaler, we can maintain the integrity of the system against attempted attack and fraud," says Plantemoli. "This is critical because we serve more than 500,000 job candidates and they need to feel secure about using the system."
Before the ministry replaced its load-balancing equipment, the IT team's main focus was to boost network performance, which maxed out at 300 to 400 connections per second. Today, NetScaler SDX easily supports thousands of connections per second, making performance no longer a problem. "We used NetScaler on Election Day and the result was fantastic despite the very heavy traffic," says Plantemoli. At the same time, the ministry's IT staff gained improved manageability with the new Citrix appliances. "NetScaler administration is very easy and we can deploy new services extremely quickly," says Plantemoli. The NetScaler SDX implementation has also allowed the ministry to consolidate hardware, saving the government approximately €30,000 ($33,000) in annual costs.
With the success of its NetScaler SDX deployment, the IT team is focused on several important new projects including datacenter consolidation, application virtualization and mobility—all of which feature Citrix as a technology partner. "We plan to consolidate at least two datacenters from other departments, and as many as five datacenters altogether into one datacenter," says Plantemoli. "NetScaler will definitely be the standard for the new datacenter going forward, allowing us to grow and offer new services, including an online payment system and remote access to virtual applications."
Citrix (NASDAQ:CTXS) is leading the transition to software-defining the workplace, uniting virtualization, mobility management, networking and SaaS solutions to enable new ways for businesses and people to work better. Citrix solutions power business mobility through secure, mobile workspaces that provide people with instant access to apps, desktops, data and communications on any device, over any network and cloud. With annual revenue in 2014 of $3.14 billion, Citrix solutions are in use at more than 330,000 organizations and by over 100 million users globally. Learn more at www.citrix.com.

The goals of the Sociology Department are:
1. To enable the student to develop a Christian perspective relating to humankind's involvement in groups and in the larger society. This is accomplished in three main areas:
- studying the various principles of interaction that govern human relationship (social interaction);
- studying the various problems that face contemporary society (social concerns);
- studying the basic institutions of society and their interdependence (social institutions).
2. To provide students the necessary methodological tools whereby they may uncover social reality in a variety of contexts (survey research, participant observation, and content analysis).
3. To demonstrate the practical relevance of the discipline by applying sociological insight and methodology to the work of God's kingdom.

If your local photo store doesn't have the stuff you want, you can find a mail order or web place that does. For Graflex parts mail order, it's hard to beat places like Midwest Photo Exchange (Ohio is a bit of a drive from Chicago, but they have a great website). MPEX bought the entire supply of Graflex parts from the Graflex Western Division service, and kept them warehoused, and found a suitable individual to take on the business. Or try Steven Shuart in Pennsylvania; his prices are high, but he's knowledgeable and his quality is good.
In my own town, there's a great photo store that stocks and sells plenty of stuff, and they know and care about cameras and equipment. But photo stores with such people are closing left and right, and are replaced with "imaging centers" that stock only digital and APS.

General Education Writing Intensive Courses
Writing Intensive Course Requirements (3 Semester Hours)
A number of courses fulfill the general education intensive writing requirement. These courses are marked in the semester brochure with a "W." All these courses have as their minimum prerequisite WRT 101 or equivalent or appropriate placement. Criteria for a course carrying the "WRT" or writing intensive label:
1. The course involves research which includes the gathering and written analysis of information, data, perceptions, evidence, background, observations or arguments as are appropriate to the subject or genre of the course.
2. The course involves the student in a writing process which may take the form of exercises, discussions, logs, reactions to readings, role playing, personal reflection, group work, critical thinking, multiple drafts, freewriting or other activities that integrate the research with the author's objectives and evolve toward clear and effective writing for a purpose and an audience. As it unfolds, the writing process of the course exposes students to some of the essential issues that writers face –– for example, organization, tone, voice, accuracy of expression, dramatic effort, authenticity and level of diction.
3. In a writing intensive course students produce at least one substantial piece of polished or finished writing, work that has gone through a full cycle of writing process from initial idea to final polish and presentation.
4. Students in a writing intensive course will be required to generate documentation displaying, as an average, at least one "page" of student writing for every 50 minutes of class time. This documentation may take several forms; for example, a comprehensive portfolio may include research notes, responses to assignments and readings, freewritings, logs, drafts, web text or any number of other types of writing appropriate to the subject or writing genre of the course.

2009 Dodge Ram - Project Lead Sled
Slammed Suspension IQ Test
Shocks are the brains of a truck's suspension, yet we oftentimes compromise quality for the mindset of "give me whatever will fit and is the cheapest." Even worse, you don't even have shocks on your airbagged truck because you think you don't need them. Then, we drive and complain for thousands of miles in a truck bouncing around like a horse-drawn wagon crossing the desert. After spending a pretty penny on a custom suspension, big wheels, and new tires, there's no excuse for skimping on cheap, ineffective shocks. On our own Project Lead Sled, an '09 Ram we drive every day, we were suffering from poor ride quality and handling due to poor shock performance. Whereas we loved the custom air suspension professionally installed by the team at Ekstensive Metalworks, in Houston, we desperately needed to find upgraded shocks to make the most of the adjustable ride height.
"Get Rid of the Lowered Truck Bounce"
Thankfully, the suspension gurus at Ride Tech have partnered with the shock pros at Fox Racing Shocks to develop two lines of quality shocks designed to improve both ride quality and handling. With a large monotube design, the smooth body shocks feature ½-inch hardened shafts, internal bumpstop, and billet endcaps to prevent seal damage. Available in two different series, the RQ line is non-adjustable and tuned for optimum ride quality, while the HQ line of shocks allows the user to adjust rebound for a dialed-in ride aimed towards more performance handling. For our custom applications, we simply matched our old shocks' dimension to those of Ride Tech's RQ line. If you want to make your lowered or airbagged truck ride and handle better, a shock upgrade is an easy and relatively inexpensive upgrade you need to make.

Happy 2010 to all! I have been thinking about what, if any, changes I want to make to this blog during the new year. Should I change my profile picture and/or the blog design? Abandon the black-and-white-only photo posting policy? Should I "come out" as myself here on the blog? I don't feel any huge need to change my picture. I kind of like the garden of Eden look of that black stone statue amongst the tropical foliage that I now use. I also like the blog design, though I do need to update my blogroll. I may or may not start posting color photographs. Mainly I need to get back into taking photographs, period.
As for "outing" myself, most regular commenters already know me from other environments, whether "real" life, the old blog, or other on-line forums. So I don't feel a real need to blog here under my real name. At least not at this point.
But this last issue has been on my mind lately. As much as I resisted it, I have begun to Twitter. So far, the experience is still new to me. And still a little odd. I am continually shocked about what, on Twitter, people will reveal about themselves. I have heard of families airing all their dirty laundry via Tweets for each other and all the Twitterverse to see. Some people I follow have begun using a program where they will entertain the most intimate questions about themselves, promising to answer any and all queries honestly.
All of this, I do not quite get, nor do I expect (with my personality) I ever will. This has made me think of the following post from my old blog. "Egocasting" has gone warp speed since I wrote these words. There are now so many potential on-line selves to coordinate, so many potential worlds and audiences to collide. I think Twitter might be the end of the technological personalization line for me. If folks want to know anything more than what I already share they'll just have to get to know me face to face.
(Also related: this BlogHer post from Nordette Adams.)
I have been rather busy lately…a little friend called a dissertation. But I also enjoy keeping this blog. As I have said before, this is an extension of the journaling—personal and academic—that I have always done. My compromise has been to largely post brief entries of things I have read elsewhere, with perhaps a little commentary from me. Lists also seem to be a quick, enjoyable way to keep a blog going—and, a main initial feature of [this blog] was my making lists of things that I seemed to not be able to get to.
In this vein, a while back I thought I might post a list of the summer reading I wanted to do. But while I was compiling in my head what I would post here to the blog, I found myself excising a few of books from the list.
What was that about?
Well, these books were "light reading"—what some would even call "trash." As this blog is, in large part, about my PhD journey, posting such non-intellectual fare would have been like admitting to the world that I planned to spend the summer on the couch watching "Three's Company" re-runs on one of the nostalgia TV channels.
Blogger as Product
"I am so hip even my errors are correct."
~Nikki Giovanni, "Ego Tripping"*
My being loathe to make such an admission was the first I had realized that I was intentionally and strategically using this forum as a way to reveal some things about myself—and, more interesting—to cloak others.
I have heard this kind of on-line self-presentation called egocasting. And it appears that blogging could be part of the realm of technologies of personalization. Just as I can use my iPod to listen to my own personalized 24-hour radio station full of only those songs I like, just as I can use my television and remote and DVR to view only those programs I like, I can use my blog to "broadcast" only those aspects of my graduate school experience that I like.
Even if I reveal my frustrations and errors, I can wait to craft a post until I have successfully overcome and corrected them. Even if I reveal my shortcomings, I can spin them in such a way that procrastination appears to be reflection, lack of divergent thinking becomes focus, pathological perseveration becomes dedication.
I can be a product of my own production.
Same Broadcast, Different Station
You ain't ridin/
You ain't bumpin like I'm bumpin/
You ain't sayin nuthin homie/
You ain't fresh az I'm iz…
~Bow Wow, "Fresh Azimiz"
It just so happens that while I was having this summer reading/egocasting epiphany, I was also updating my CV (or, resume, for you non-academics). In a stroke of convergent thinking (or, in a sure sign of being mired in a mental rut) it occurred to me that a CV is a much older and much more widespread type of "egocasting." In my CV I broadcast the professional self that I hope will be pleasing to my "audience"—prospective employers. I do not (purposefully) reveal my negative qualities, perhaps hoping to give the impression that I am in possession of none.
Not only do I try hard to broadcast myself in the best possible light (evident, for example, by spending inordinate amounts of time deciding between "developed" and "designed") but I implicitly try to convey that I am better—muchmuchmuch better—than any other egocast my audience may be tuning into on their prospective employee dial.
Again, I am a product. Plus I am a better/fresher/tastier/faster product than the others.
"Become the Boast…"
Well, anyone who has ever sent themselves off to faceless others in the form of a multi-page listing of awards, accomplishments, and action words knows that such an endeavor can be pretty rough on the ego. You're supposed to be confidently tooting your own horn, but just as often you feel as if you may be sounding discordant notes. The act of egocasting via plain old CV-writing can be undermining to one's ego.
In true spin-making form, though, I have decided to look upon both my blog writing and my more formal professional presentations of myself not as occasions for doubt and worry, but as opportunities for goal attainment. My CV is a catalog of my proudest moments for others; But for me it can be a "how-to" manual for even more proud moments to come.
And no, I can no longer claim that this blog is "just an on-line journal"—It is also a digital representation of a (somewhat/some times) carefully crafted on-line self. But it does not have to turn into a forum for private self-guessing and self-authentication—It, like my CV, can be part of the road map to my personal mission.
In that spirit, I just may post that summer reading list. And think what you may if it is not packed with great classics or deep literary prize winners. I will likely list a few of those in the hopes that my seeing those titles here will serve as motivation to actually read (not just purchase) them. I like to think of it as having a healthy balance between work and play, seriousness and fun. (Though I could also think of it as my being shallow and frivolous.)
Whichever way you slice it: Both my CV and my blog are me—or at least a part of me that I decide is ready for public consumption. Whatever perfection contained herein is true even when it doesn't tell the complete story. And of course, any lack of perfection is part of the story, too. But at least a part of the rest of the story is my intention to reach higher…
I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal.
I cannot be comprehended except by my permission.
I mean…I…can fly
like a bird in the sky…
~Nikki Giovanni, "Ego Tripping"*

text: Kirk Cameron Doc 'Unstoppable' Grosses $2 Million in One-Night Live Event 4:42 PM PDT 9/26/2013 by Seth Abramovitch FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images Kirk Cameron Headshot - P 2013 The simulcast broke records for NCM Fathom, which also screens operas, rock concerts and sporting events in movie theaters nationwide. Kirk Cameron's latest independently financed faith-based film, Unstoppable -- which ran on 700 screens Tuesday as part of a one-night live event -- has grossed over $2 million from approximately 150,000 ticket sales, according to Rentrak. By comparison, the Hugh Jackman-Jake Gyllenhaal drama Prisoners pulled in $2.2 million on 3,260 screens in the same time frame. PHOTOS: Jesus in Film and TV: 13 Devilishly Handsome Actors Who've Played the Son of God That makes Unstoppable the most successful event in the history of NCM Fathom Events, the Colorado-based entertainment company founded in 2002 that broadcasts live simulcasts of everything from Metropolitan Opera performances to Rolling Stones concerts to big-name boxing matches in movie theaters around the country. "We were hoping for good numbers but weren't expecting this to be quite so exciting," Cameron, 42, tells The Hollywood Reporter. "This is great." Says Dan Diamond, senior vp of Fathom, "We're thrilled with what we've seen with Unstoppable. It's actually the second event we've done with Kirk. We've done several events with Glenn Beck, and one with Bill O'Reilly. We try to present something for everyone." By comparison, the recent Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez bout sold 75,000 simulcast tickets for Fathom, and some Met operas, like a recent broadcast of Carmen, grossed close to $2 million but at a higher price point. (Cameron charges $12.50 per ticket, the Met charges $22.) Cameron's last experiment with the format -- his 2012 documentary Monumental: In Search of America's National Treasure -- was a strong performer as well, grossing $1.23 million from over 100,000 attendees. Billed as a "live event" rather than just a movie, Tuesday's screening also included a satellite linkup to Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., where Cameron presented the film before a sold-out audience of 10,000, introduced several musical performances and moderated a question-and-answer session with invited guests. PHOTOS: Sherwood Pictures' Top Films Calling it his "most personal" project to date, Unstoppable features the divisive Growing Pains star -- whose career path has led him away from mainstream Hollywood and toward evangelical projects -- examining issues of faith in the face of tragedy. The film, which was inspired by the death of a teenage friend, will screen again in theaters nationwide on Thurs., Oct. 3. Cameron's 2008 film Fireproof, produced by Sherwood Pictures, was a surprise hit at the box office, made for just $500,000 but grossing $34 million. Cameron tells THR he took no fee for the performance and earned no share of the profits. The actor is currently at work on a scripted feature about a Little League Baseball team produced by his Los Angeles-based CamFam Studios.

Minnesota wins fourth straight behind solid Correia
Twins capitalize on Tribe miscues in comeback nearly identical to Friday
MINNEAPOLIS -- Saturday's game was eerily similar to Friday's.
Both ended with exactly the same score and the Twins rallying for comeback victories, with Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall making a crucial error in the sixth inning of both contests.
After winning on Friday, 3-2, the Twins capitalized on a pair of miscues from the Indians in a three-run sixth inning and hung on for another 3-2 victory on Saturday night at Target Field.
"There were a couple plays in that inning they didn't make," said Twins bench coach Terry Steinbach, who filled in as manager with Ron Gardenhire exiting in the fifth because of a stomach illness. "And so tipping our hats to our guys, we were able to take advantage of that. We were able to score that inning and give our bullpen a chance to win that game."
The Twins entered the bottom of the sixth down by two runs, after Jason Kipnis clubbed a two-run homer off right-hander Kevin Correia, but rallied for three runs against reliever Rich Hill to take the lead following Indians starter Corey Kluber's exit. He tossed five scoreless innings before leaving with left hip tightness.
Joe Mauer started it off with a walk, before Justin Morneau singled to right field to put runners on the corners with nobody out. Ryan Doumit then hit a grounder to Chisenhall, who threw home to get Mauer, but the throw was offline and Mauer scored.
"Kind of the rule of thumb is, you don't go on that ball unless you can turn two," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "Obviously, we couldn't. Our only play was going to be at first, so I thought we caught a break. He just made a poor throw."
Reliever Bryan Shaw replaced Hill and promptly gave up a single to Chris Colabello, who picked up his first career RBI.
"Obviously it came up in a spot where I could do some damage," said Colabello, who was called up on Friday for his third stint with the Twins this season. "Probably not the way I'd draw it up, but just glad I got it done."
Shaw was able to get Aaron Hicks to strike out swinging for the first out and induced a potential double-play ball from Clete Thomas, but Kipnis bobbled the ball at second base and the go-ahead run scored.
"It picked up a little speed when it hit the dirt and caught me in the palm rather than the hand," Kipnis said. "That play needs to be made."
The three-run rally made a winner out of Correia, who gave up two runs on just three hits and a walk over six innings. It also handed Correia his team-leading 10th quality start of the season and his first win since June 19, to improve to 7-6 with a 4.17 ERA.
"I feel like I've been 6-6 for two months," Correia said. "I thought I might not get it tonight, but then we came back and capitalized and got three runs and it ended up being enough."
Relievers Brian Duensing, Jared Burton, Casey Fien and closer Glen Perkins combined to hold the Indians scoreless over the final three innings to preserve the victory.
The Indians threatened with two runners on and one out against Duensing in the seventh, but Burton came in and ended the threat. Defense also helped Fien in the eighth when Doumit threw Asdrubal Cabrera out at second base as he tried to stretch a single into a double.
"After we made a few roster moves during the break, Doumit knew he was going to play some outfield, so he's been working hard out there," Steinbach said. "For him to play that ball perfectly and not panic and make a real good throw to second was the result of hard work."
Perkins threw a scoreless ninth for his 23rd save and helped the Twins stretch their winning streak to four games. The Twins also clinched the series and improved to 13-15 in one-run games.
"One of the things the guys haven't done all year is give up," Steinbach said. "They go out there as true professionals from the first inning through nine. For the most part, we've given ourselves a chance to win. There were games where we couldn't come through, but there have also been ones where we've come back, and tonight was a good example of that."
