From: Issue 40
Van of Action
The White House's former green jobs advisor says the social contract is broken and in need of serious fixing. Van Jones's mission is to do just that, and in the process rebuild the dream that made America great.
When environmental and social activist Van Jones was recruited in spring 2009 by the Obama administration to serve as the White House's special advisor on green jobs, many saw it as a clear sign that the President was committed to building a low-carbon economy, both to tackle climate change and boost employment. Jones, who had just published the New York Times bestseller The Green Collar Economy, believed the move to a clean energy economy was a way to "green the ghetto" and lift millions of Americans out of poverty. California Congresswoman Barbara Lee called the appointment a "wonderful addition" to the White House's Council on Environmental Quality and credited Jones for being at the forefront of the green jobs movement. But less than six months into the job Jones found himself the target of what he called a "vicious smear campaign." Considering it a distraction he resigned from his position, telling media his mission is to "fight for others, not for myself." And fight for others he is. In 2011 Jones launched his Rebuild the Dream campaign (rebuildthedream.com), a "people-powered" initiative with 600,000 members aimed at fixing all that's wrong with the American economy. Corporate Knights had an opportunity to chat with Jones, 44, about the campaign, the failures of the political left, and the role that clean capitalism can play to mend a broken social contract.
CK: What will the Rebuild the Dream campaign be focusing on in the lead-up to and immediately following the election? It seems so far that tuition fees and home ownership have been two big issues for you.
JONES: A college education is part of the springboard out of poverty and into the middle class, just like home ownership. But these days, getting a college education and buying a house seem more like trap doors into poverty for the middle class, and we've got to change that. So we launched two very aggressive campaigns to keep the interest rate on student loans from doubling, and also to get relief for homeowners with underwater mortgages. That effort is building credibility in the media. We will then be pivoting at the end of the year when the big budget battle goes down. We'll be fighting a major war to prevent the Bush tax cuts for the rich from being extended, and to protect essential programs from the meat cleaver.
CK: You've said you see potential for creating a Tea Party for the left, and that the left has to start playing hardball. Can you explain that?
JONES: The Tea Party is a brilliant invention because it took previously existing donors and activists and ideas, repackaged them, and positioned them both inside and outside the Republican Party. The Tea Party now has all the benefits of being a third party in America with none of the downside. They can present their own ideas. They can make electoral challenges to Republicans they don't like in the primary season. And they can even chip into certain pieces of legislation. But when it comes to a general election they're able to walk back into the Republican Party as it is, and essentially have their cake and eat it too.
CK: And this is lacking on the left?
JONES: For progressives, who make up the majority of the Democratic Party, we have no such mechanism. So even though many of our ideas are quite popular as far as tax fairness for all Americans and concern about income inequality and big money and politics, we have not yet evolved a mechanism to push Democrats to stick up for that agenda. We think that is a weakness for progressives, but also a weakness for the party overall because the spine is not visible all too often. Therefore it's a weakness for the country, because we think our ideas are good. Take strong private-sector initiative, balance it off with smart tax policy and intelligent regulation, and you get a great country.
CK: That all sounds like common sense.

InnoDB now supports also FOREIGN KEY (...) REFERENCES ...(...) [ON UPDATE CASCADE | ON UPDATE SET NULL | ON UPDATE RESTRICT | ON UPDATE NO ACTION].
Tables and indexes now reserve 4 % less space in the tablespace. Also existing tables reserve less space. By upgrading to 4.0.8 you will see more free space in "InnoDB free" in SHOW TABLE STATUS.
Fixed bugs: updating the PRIMARY KEY of a row would generate a foreign key error on all FOREIGN KEYs which referenced secondary keys of the row to be updated. Also, if a referencing FOREIGN KEY constraint only referenced the first columns in an index, and there were more columns in that index, updating the additional columns generated a foreign key error.
Fixed a bug : if an index contains some column twice, and that column is updated, the table will become corrupt. From now on InnoDB prevents creation of such indexes.
Fixed a bug : removed superfluous error 149 and 150 printouts from the .err log when a locking SELECT caused a deadlock or a lock wait timeout.
Fixed a bug : an assertion in btr0sea.c, in function btr_search_info_update_slow could theoretically fail in a race of 3 threads.
Fixed a bug : one could not switch a session transaction isolation level back to REPEATABLE READ after setting it to something else.

France's Champagne region sets the standard for sparkling wines. That isn't exactly breaking news. It's been that way for several centuries and probably will stay that way for at least several more, depending on how this climate-change matter pans out.
Vintners in many other wine regions strive to come up with their own convincing version of Champagne, including winemakers in California, where today the range and quality of sparklers is perhaps higher than it has ever been. They aren't Champagne, but in blind tastings they probably could persuade some participants that they are.
Where California really lags in the sparkler sweepstakes is price. Of all the styles of wine made in California, sparklers offer the best buys. Major mass- market producers such as Korbel, Domaine Chandon and E&J Gallo under its Ballatore and Barefoot brands regularly rack up high honors on the competition circuit and on the palates of critics.
A notch up are releases from such long-established specialty houses as Roederer, Schramsberg, Mumm Napa and Iron Horse.
And let's not overlook Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards of the Carneros district at the southern reaches of Sonoma Valley, hard by San Pablo Bay, whose chilly breezes provide the ideal incubator in which the principal grape varieties for fine sparkling wine chardonnay and pinot noir can thrive.
In 1982, José and Gloria Ferrer arrived in Carneros from Catalonia, where Ferrers had been winegrowers since the 1500s. In addition to the Carneros winery Gloria Ferrer, their holdings today include Freixenet, the world's largest producer of sparkling wine made with traditional Champagne methods. In Carneros, the Ferrers bought a 160-acre cattle ranch and began to plant vines. In 1986, they opened their winery.
Since then, they've added still wines to their Gloria Ferrer portfolio, but sparkling wine accounts for 70 percent of their production. They make eight styles, current releases of which range in price from $20 to $50. They've won enough medals, ribbons and points to fill the hold of a veritable armada of galleons.
Most recently, the Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards 2007 Carneros Brut Rosé was declared the best specialty wine at the commercial wine competition of the Sonoma County Harvest Fair. The specialty-wine sweepstakes involved a broad range of wine styles, from dry sparklers to sweet late-harvest releases.
The Gloria Ferrer Brut Rosé won on the strength of its bright color, a kind of brassy salmon; a smell that adds notes of Asian pear and citrus to the strawberry delivered by the pinot noir that constitutes most of the blend; a veritable curtain of fine and steady beads of bubbles; and a finish smooth and refreshing. It's a California sparkling wine, with not much of the earthy yeastiness that distinguishes so many Champagnes, but it's high-toned and sharp as well as fruity.
"Our wines here are more vineyard-driven than process-driven," says winemaker Steven Urberg. "Fruit characters are more showcased, rather than yeast and aging characters. That's especially true of the brut rosé."
The key to capturing the fruitiness of the pinot noir in the sparkler is to leave the juice in contact with grape skins for precisely the correct time, long enough to extract a touch of color and strawberry and red-cherry flavor but not so long that the result is at all astringent, he explained.
"For the brut rosé, we extract just enough fruit and color for what we want, but not so much that we get a red-wine character. That would make the wine bitter, hard or edgy."
His boss, executive winemaker Bob Iantosca, has been with Gloria Ferrer for a quarter of a century, during which he has helped the winery's vineyards grow from an initial 20-acre test plot to 335 acres today.
He's been especially keen on searching out, studying and experimenting with different clones of pinot noir, and today the estate is planted to around a dozen strains that please him. What he's been seeking is clones that yield wines of deep fruit character but don't come off with the candied cherry flavor often associated with pinot noir.
His continuing research isn't Gloria Ferrer's only costly investment in sparkling wines. When sparkling wine is made with traditional French techniques, as it is at Gloria Ferrer, the process is labor-intensive and demands specialized equipment.
"Machines are programmed in French, so when they break we've got to fly (someone) over here for the repairs," says Urberg.
As other sparkling-wine producers in California, he'd like to see his wines fetch higher prices.
"The lament of all sparkling producers in California is that they don't get the respect that the French get. A lot of people buy Champagne for prestige rather than the quality of the product. As a reflection of that, California sparkling wines are vastly underpriced," says Urberg.
For consumers in these economically trying times, that's not such a bad thing, especially as the biggest night of the year for bubbly wines draws near.
Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards
2007 Carneros Brut Rosé
By the numbers: 12.5 percent alcohol, 2,500 cases, $42
Context: Few beverages are as compelling and rewarding entirely on their own as sparkling wine. At the table, however, a sparkling wine as exquisitely structured and flavored as the brut rosé can accompany a wide range of foods. "I drink sparkling wine through a whole meal. I don't save it just for appetizers or dessert," says winemaker Steven Urberg. At community wine tastings where a variety of finger foods are served, he commonly pours 3 1/2 cases of sparkling wine, whereas winemakers with still wines may pour no more than one or two cases.
Availability: Gloria Ferrer sparkling wines are readily available in the Sacramento region, though the brut rosé is pretty much limited to the winery's tasting room. It can, however, be ordered through the winery's website, www.gloriaferrer.com
Information: The tasting room at Gloria Ferrer, 23555 Highway 121 in Sonoma, is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily.

My Guy Farts In Public
Guest blogger Childlessandlovinit: I don't do anything gross in front of my guy -- but he may have just changed all that.
I am not into picking my nose, going to the bathroom or farting in front of my guy -- in fact, I think it kills the romance. It may sound kind of old school, but I'm afraid that if I start doing that business, he'll start to look at me like one of his buddies, not his lover. Now I realize, this is a completely different deal for a guy -- they burp, fart, floss, pick their zits, everything in front of us. Eew.
It gets worse.
The other day, while my bf and I were out running errands, my guy went to pick something up and loudly farted. To be honest, I am not THAT suprised by this -- but what I AM surprised by was that he wasn't at all embarrassed. It was more like he was PROUD. He mischievously smiled and carried on shopping. In fact, at dinner later on that night he said "Babe, tell everyone about what happened at LensCrafters." I then went into detail about the fart incident, and as I got closer to the punchline, he was simply beaming. Even more surprising was that everyone at the table, particularly his guy friends, laughed as if it was the funniest thing they'd ever heard. Gross.
Later on, as I was getting ready for bed (with the bathroom door CLOSED while I was taking my makeup off and doing my pre-bed duties) I thought: Why should I act like a lady if he acts like he was raised in a barn? You know what? The next time we're out in public I may just let one go -- and see how HE reacts! Chances are, he will be mortified and in shock. Maybe he'll even think twice about his grossness in front of me too. Stay tuned ...
Feedback from the Blogs

Go for it; fart right at him.
omg that is too funny and sooo true! my guy does it too and thinks nothing of it. hilarious.
I dated a french guy once who would do that. Believe it or not, I always try to be he most polite, thus I never said anything, but he did it once in front of a friend of mine and her reaction was priceless.
I do think it's uncouth though to toot in public.
omg i'm laughing so hard because it's true-they"ll never grow up!
I totally agree it's a double standard—it's like, why can they do it and think it's funny while we have to hold ours in (pun intended!) Well, i guess we don't have to, but there are so many things they get away with that we do not..it's kind of bs…
ok ladies—how about we all let our hair grow out and we burb and floss in front of our guys?
My husband and I have no qualms about doing anything in front of each other. I burp, use the bathroom with the door open…often times with him in the room if need be, and anything else our bodies feel they need to do. As an ex told me, most men actually find it attractive, he and my husband are among that category. As it's been explained to me, a women who is that comfortable with who she is and with them, is attractive. Grant it, some men prefer the barbie version…perfect. What it really comes down to is how the people involved feel.
has nothing to do with BARBIE—or how someone feels about themselves, that is so judgmental. I totally understand that after a while that would take away the sexiness. Going to the bathroom in front of your husband is one thing, farthing and picking your nose and acting like a guy is another. Some people are just more reserved—has nothing to do with how comfortable they feel with themselves or their partner. But I highly highly doubt, that men find this behavior "attractive"..seriously..
This lady doesn't know much about men, and our bodily functions. Men fart, plain and simple. It's a normal bodily function. The average person lets it go about 18 times a day.
It's not a matter if it's attractive or not, it's women trying to remake men into women. Give me a break!
Farting is Natural. Taking a dump is natural. EVERYONE has to release.. And its never a good idea to hold it in. It is actually very bad and can cause you to end up in the hospital. There isn't always a restroom around to run to! So whether we like it or not, you have to do what you gota do! The odor may be groce well too bad.
OF COURSE it's normal. OF COURSE it's what our body does… but why is it acceptable to be disgusting? Aren't we past the point of primal, animalistic behaviors? Isn't this a "civilization" where there is basic civility and mutual respect?
Thousands of years ago, it was acceptable to bonk your soon-to-be-mate on the head and drag her back to your cave… without trying to sound elitist, I'd like to think I've Evolved past that point…
I think it's hilarious when a man cranks a huge one, but I would find it completely disgusting if a woman did. Is that a double standard? Yes. But here's a news flash: Men and women are different. Period. The standards of behavior are different. Period.
As long as it's not stinky it's cool.
Isn't there something more important to blog about? Health care or something? I can't understand your logic here. I mean. Sure, it is a little immature to fart in public and laugh, but come on. It is natural to fart. Laughter is good for you, holding in gas is bad. It causes pain in your abdomen that could disguise other symptoms. Many women feel pain like indigestion or gas when they have a heart attack. It could mislead doctors in diagnosing many diseases such as Colorectal Cancer (which is the third leading cause of death in the US).
So for the sake of maintaining you appearance to strangers (who likely could care less about you) or your boyfriend (who shouldn't judge you on something so small) you are going to put yourself through discomfort or even pain that could put you at risk?
Sounds stupid to me. But hey, I am just a pre-med student.
Protip: Your guy won't care at all. In fact, he'll be proud of you. Expect a backfire, and no pun intended.
Good luck in your quest for a mate with an amount of shame for their body that is acceptable to you…

The new BMW M5 has been out for quite some time, but this may actually be the first time we see Richard Hammond from Top Gear behind the wheel of the sports sedan. He recently took it out for a test spin and seemed to rather enjoy himself, which isn't surprising considering the BMW M5 has all the tools needed for an invigorating driving experience!
For those of you who still don't know, the M5 is powered by a high-revving 4.4-liter V8 engine with an M TwinPower Turbo package that delivers an impressive 560 hp at 6,000 – 7,000 rpm and a peak torque of 502 lb-ft from 1,500 rpm. The model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and, when the speed limiter is removed, is capable of hitting an impressive top speed of 190 mph.

How good is Willie Davis?
The truth is, nobody really knows — including Davis. But everybody is eager to find out. And so is South Florida, which recently received a verbal commitment from the Stephenson running back.
There is, after all, a limited body of work off which to judge Davis. As a junior last season he played in the shadows of tailback Raymond Sanders, a Kentucky signee and one of the top backs in the state.
"I wouldn't say shadows," Davis injects. "I'd just say I've just been waiting for my opportunity. But I'm as eager as anybody else to see what's going to happen."
What people have seen, they like. And what's not to like?
Davis (5-11, 195) rushed for nearly 700 yards while playing in only six games as a backup/backfield mate for Sanders. And he has raised his stature while camping and visiting all over the South this spring and summer with many of his Stephenson teammates.
Davis is approaching double-figure offers, with tenders from the likes of West Virginia, Vanderbilt, Cincinnati, Louisville, Marshall and others. Others still have been looking hard but have yet to offer.
But the South Florida Bulls have been with Davis from the outset. And he rewarded them with a verbal commitment during a visit to the Tampa campus the weekend before last.
"I really like the coaching staff and what all they had to offer," Davis said of the USF program, now under the leadership of former East Carolina coach Skip Holtz. "The facilities down there are nice and everything really. They actually have a good opportunity for me to go down there and get established quickly. I just felt like it was the best opportunity and situation for me."
But it's not likely to be the only situation for Davis. ACC and SEC schools continue to court and evaluate Davis. And Davis continues to evaluate them.
In fact, he spent this past weekend in Nashville touring Vanderbilt. Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia Tech and several others have shown continued interest.
"I actually got some advice on that while I was down [in Tampa]," Davis said. "Some of the players told me and [teammate] Kadetrix [Marcus] to finish our visits and make sure your choice is the right one. That's what I plan to do."

Very impressive. You must be deep to have a back like that as your backup.
June 21st, 2010
6:32 pm
Davis is impressive. But so was Raymond Sanders last year. Kentucky got a good one . Sanders looked like a better back than Mack Brown last year.
June 21st, 2010
6:46 pm
I agree that Sanders looked alot more talented but you have to remember that Mack Brown was dealing with a hamstring injury for the bettter part of the season. I don't understand why UGA did not pursue Mr. Sanders after Mack commited to UF, I guarantee you we would have gotten him if we put the full-court pressure on him.
June 21st, 2010
7:06 pm
Sounds like a sleeper…good for him
June 21st, 2010
7:08 pm
Holy Crap! He's was the backup? Good luck at USF, if that's were you end up. I got a feeling he's gonna have a big season and alot of offers will be heading his way. Keep up the good work!
June 21st, 2010
7:16 pm
Chuy Dawg , I heard about the injury but there appeared to be a desire issue also. Time will tell. I' m sure as bad as everyone wanted Brown the injury was a factor in his performance.

Looks a little bit like Knowshon to me. Really. I think we'll hear more from this kid in the future.

There is only one SEC school that offered him, it was Vanderbilt so its not just Georgia thats not after him, does anyone have any Ideal why that is?

Great looking kid. However, a 2.9 at Stephenson HS isn't very good at all. That HS is infamous for inflating athletes grades. I wonder what his SAT score was?????

USF sounds like the best spot for Davis. Skip is a really good coach and Tampa is a really good town.

tech rules stephenson is infamous for inflating GPA where do you get your info from. i get sick and tired of every time one of stephenson kids get an article on this blog someone tries to tear them down> no one said anything bad about the last three kids on here but you try to attack the kid and his school. You are truly garbage sir. if our GPA's are so inflated why is your school recruiting so many of our players. the only thing inflated is your ego and your mouth.
June 22nd, 2010

We will see how good he is when Stephenson comes to Tift Co.

This kid needs to join the Dream Team. CMR, throw this kid a bone….we need more members of the Dream Team if we are going to win a National Championship again. Get 'r dun!

You have to respect how he considers USF for being the first to offer him. Sounds like he has some humility, which is a rare and good trait these days.

That video must show all 700 of his yards. Did he have any plays where he dove into the middle for one tough yard?

DOUBLEDOWNDAWGFAN wake up from your dream. For instance the current Rivals data has Florida commits with a 3.7 total rating and Georgia with a 3.1 total rating. Now compare rated postions that have been recruited so far that are the same – QB: Driskell (FL) #1 over Lemay #3 (GA) OL: Danzler # 34 (GA) over Jordan #44 (FL) LB: Shazler #9 (FL) over Herron #15 (GA) DE: Pagan #3 (FL) over Bailey #5 (GA) ATH: Sanders #30 (FL) over Marshall #31 (GA) WR: McRoy #11 (FL) over Wesley #12 (GA). Again Dawg fans wake up from you dreamland. THE GATORS WILL ALWAYS RULE YOU! AND we won't even talk about the comparison of last year's recruiting classes because that will give you a nightmare!!!
June 22nd, 2010
9:17 am
Son, we have a DREAM TEAM! Get over it! CMR has ordained this recruiting class the best ever in history. Textbooks will be writing about this recruiting class….UF will be studying the mere greatness of this DREAM TEAM! We will win 4 NC's with this DREAM TEAM!
June 22nd, 2010
9:19 am
For real, is his brother Clemson's James Davis?
June 22nd, 2010
9:29 am
Dream team? Dream team? The UGA fan base IS the dream team.
June 22nd, 2010
10:54 am
Dream Team? Your best players lately have been from out of state. Careful what you wish for. The recruiting isn't the problem at UGA. You need to dig a little deeper.
June 22nd, 2010
10:57 am
Also, congrats to Mr. Davis, sine that is what this article is about. I think he will do fine at USF. Statistics show that if you want to play D1 football, Stephenson isn't a bad place to be.
June 22nd, 2010
10:04 pm
No this is not James Davis brother his brother name is mike davis and hes in the 11th grade this year.THis is a very smart kid with a desire to succeed.Dont forget Vanderbilt offered him so you know he has to be on the ball education wise. But before i leave GA and Ga Tech dont let this kid out of state.
June 22nd, 2010
10:09 pm
His SAT score his first time he took it was nine hundred but stephenson goal this year is that everybody at least get a thousand so he is schedule to take it again.
June 22nd, 2010
10:10 pm
that is not his brother. his brother is in tenth grade Mike davis
June 23rd, 2010
10:44 am
I think Richt should be going after him as well. Dekalb County players have had a decent track record at UGA recently. He recruited a great RB out of Stephenson by the name of Kregg Lumpkin and a great RB from Tucker by the name of Thomas Brown. Maybe ya'll have heard of those guys? Both of them were true Bulldogs and didn't give Richt a lick of trouble off the field. Richt seems to have gone out of state more recently, which is unfortunate when you consider that there really is some great instate talent like Raymond Sanders and Willie Davis.

Hello Chi
Loved reading about your Dream.
Interesting that you are going to NY on that date.
So I wonder if this dream is prophetic or just expression of inner subconscious fears and desires as some dreams usually are.
There could be a fear about the date caused by much 21/12 concept than this combined with NY towers disaster created that dream perception.
Connection to Sun and stars and evidently a comet with tail around the sun.
Than there is the desire of meeting of the God-Gods Angels, being in touch with , recognised by 'Father' not judged but helped.
Whatever it was, it was great dream and there is much symbols to read into.
My only advise is now as you had your dream don't go to NY with fear but enjoy that journey knowing that all will be OK whatever happens.
Personally I don't think that anything dramatic will happen on 21/12/2012.
How right you are!!!
Hi Sweety!
Yes, everything is coming to the Light..it cannot be hidden any longer. The important thing now is for each person to accept or keep their heads in the sand.
The lies, the control, the insanity of poisoning people with food and drugs, all is available, if you choose to make your own discoveries!
But your dreams clearly shows that we have the protection of our Guides, that we are not alone.
Keep dreaming, Honey...and share,!!
Love and hugs
Know Thyself and You Will Know The Universe

Crackdown in Syria
Dara'a, the central city in the Syrian protests, was the focus of a crackdown by President Bashar al-Assad. "They are arresting all males above 15 years," said a Syrian lawyer from Dara'a. Seventy people have been killed since Friday, according to human rights organizations, and thousands have been arrested. The government is gearing up for another round of protests with extra buses to carry those who may be arrested. Demonstrations are likely on Friday, May 6, the Islamic day of general peace,
Even with arrests in full swing, the protesters cling to their purpose—democracy. The military was told to quell the protests with whatever means necessary, but according to a military source, some soldiers are resisting.
Organizations around the world have condemned the actions of al-Assad, including UK Prime Minister David Cameron and President Obama. Many foreign embassies in the Syrian capital, Damascus, have been emptied, and the United States has blocked the assets of many top officials. Even Hamas, which is based in Syria, is at odds with the Syrian government.

Adam Lambert raised some eyebrows just before New Year's Eve when he posted a series of tweets criticizing the singing in the movie Les Misérables . But it turns out that one of the movie's star says he pretty much agrees with the American Idol alum's take on the film.
Adam had written on Twitter that the movie's "score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers," and added that "they should have studio recorded and sweetened the vocals." He also wrote, "The industry will say 'these actors were so brave to attempt singing this score live' but why not cast actors who could actually sound good?"
Now, Les Mis star Russell Crowe has responded, tweeting "I don't disagree with Adam, sure it could have been sweetened, [the director Tom ] Hooper wanted it raw and real, that's how it is."
Despite Adam's thoughts on the singing in Les Mis , there seem to be quite a few people who enjoyed it: the movie's soundtrack debuted at #1 on the Billboard Soundtracks chart.

The King's Speech
Holy crap. Yes, 9 months of waiting (although back then I didn't know it would be such a big deal). One month of checking out the theaters around me. I FINALLY SAW THE KING'S SPEECH. Oh my Colin freaking Firth. You are the best of the best. Geoffrey Rush. Sorry I only knew from Captain Barbossa but thank you for being in this movie you were splendid! Helena Bonham Carter. I only know you playing eccentric roles I did not know how adorable you were.
AND there were Jennifer Ehle (Elizabeth Benett from Pride and Prejudice) and David Bamber (Mr. Collins from P&P) — wow there was a festivity going on in my head. P&P REUNION BABY.
Might contain spoilers, so I might as well hide the rest ;)
Glee 2x8
Glee 2x6 Never Been Kissed
Ah, finally some good episode from Glee :) (But not accompanied with a lot of good cover..)
Glee 2x2
Spears-tacular was spectacular. "Britney Spears is the pop culture" — Well said Kurt, well-said. Glad to see Brittany singing and dancing a lot as well.
But I freaked out when I saw the preview of next episode — I nearly cried. :'( What?? Why???
Bones 3x1
That was kinda heart-warming… I like Caroline more and more every episode she shows up ;) And I was sooo happy to see Dylan Bruno in this episode! Colby Granger from Numb3rs!!
Glee 2x1
Glee is back!! And CHARICE ON GLEE!! WHEEEEEE!!!! But WHATTTTTTTT
Watching Lie To Me
omg omg omg omg omg omg
The Mentalist
Yep another addiction… lol Rigsby is so irresistible. Cho is cute. And RigsPelt awwww <3 :)
I also enjoy the great chemistry between Jane and Lisbon. I don't want them to get together any soon, though (same for Lightman and Foster in Lie To Me), as Jane is still a grieving widow and he still wears a ring. I do not want him to get over his wife that quickly. That would make the show a bit shallow… Maybe when they finally catch Red John and when he feels like moving on.
Who's Red John?
So I developed a new interest in Lie To Me last week (thanks to Netflix) and I've already caught up on the latest episode :D (thank goodness this is only 2nd season). It has become another favorite show of mine.
I totally love Emily, Dr. Lightman's daughter. She is so cute! Loker is sometimes ass but he is cool too. Cal Lightman is awesome, needless to say. I think my favorite ships are Lightman/Foster and Loker/Torres.
I was feeling empathy for Cal every time people call it pseudo-science and so on. And his passion toward the "truth"… You know, all these science + crime shows (well Lie To Me, Bones, and Numb3rs), they really motivate me. Although I don't think I will ever do a forensic job (there is something called forensic linguistics and some school has a program for that), I also want to be an expert in my field and to pursue my interests and it would be cool if that would contribute to the society and help people.
Karate Kid
I went to see Karate Kid today. Actually we just went to see a movie, then we saw Karate Kid, and we decided to watch it.
Someone told me that it was not really a "Karate" Kid, and more like a "Kung Fu" Kid, and at first I thought maybe they just didn't care. But then in the movie they explicitly said it was Kung Fu, and I was wondering why they named it "Karate Kid". One of my roommates told me it's because it was a remake of an original "Karate Kid" and I thought it made sense.
Anyhow, the movie was pretty good! Although I'm Asian, I have never been to mainland China, so I don't know if it was stereotyped or what Chinese people would think, but I personally loved the movie.
Jaden Smith was adorable!! His acting was not something like Haley Joel Osment or Dakota Fanning, but he did a good job. And the way Dre (Jaden Smith's role) was trying really hard… Everyone was cheering for him in the end, inside and outside the movie, from children to adults. A small girl sitting next to me was cheering for him saying "Go Xiao-Dre!". Every time he was in danger, she was saying "Oh my god!!" lol. And everyone sends him applause when he did something amazing (this is why I love watching movies in the States).
Also, Jackie Chan - he is my favorite actor, but I have only seen him doing funny roles and I never realized he was such a good actor. When talking of Jackie Chan, people talk about his martial arts, but he was more than that. He really can act. This movie was probably nothing without Jackie Chan.
All the Kung Fu was cool too. All the small kids doing Kung Fu… The action was amazing. Sometimes a bit painful to see a little kid beating each other, but I am glad they used kids, because they were all innocent and adorable.
Just finished watching Pride and Prejudice (1995) ^_^
I like the eldest sisters of Bennets… They are so pretty. Needless to say, Mr. Darcy ♥
I still prefer Bridget Jones though :P
But it was interesting to see the British society back in 18th century… :) Yes people still seek to marry someone they like, but income was such a big deal when picking a spouse? Well, I guess it's still important nowadays… But it was still so different! Very interesting ^_^
Love Happens
I watched this movie because it looked like a good chick flick and it featured Jennifer Aniston, my favorite actress.
It was totally different from what I expected. In a good way :) I didn't think I would cry. I didn't think I would love this movie this much! (although I do not think this will be one of those movies I watch over and over again)
Yes it was a romantic movie, but it was more than that. It was how a person would face a loss of his beloved one. And it was not only about the main character, Burke Ryan - it was also about his father-in-low and one of his audience, Walter. It was very touching.
Jennifer Aniston was so pretty. Kinda hard to believe she's already over 40. I loved her fashion in this movie too!
Aaron Eckhart. He is cute, he can act. But somehow I couldn't get rid of his image in The Dark Knight as Harvey Dent…. Because he was such a strong figure in that movie. For those who watched The Dark Knight, you would know :/
Overall, I loved the movie!
Btw, I think they should have chosen different title for the movie and also the ad is kinda misleading… lol
Have you ever seen the movie Rain Man?
You really should. I cried so hard in the end.
I was watching Shrek and then at the end credit they played this song and I thought "Wait this really sounds like Aaron Carter". But I was a big fan of Aaron around that time (I had his albums and stuff) and I would have known if he had released the song…. So I thought maybe some young pop star was singing but when I looked up the song on internet it was "Like Wow" from Leslie Carter! lol Haha… Carters do sound so similar :D
I Love You, Phillip Morris
I thought it was a gay movie… But it was not really. It's a movie about love and they just happened to be gay! It is also a movie about a con man. A very smart con man. It was unbelievable and surreal. It is almost too hard to believe it's a true story.
Jim Carrey has got old! I prefer his act in his other movies, but it feels like nobody else could have done this role.
Also, Ewan McGregor. He sure can act anything. lol It almost feels like it's not the same person who acted Obi-Wan in Star Wars, Christian in Moulin Rouge, Catcher in Down With Love, or Renton in Trainspotting. I mean, I know he is almost 40 years old, but man… He is sooo adorable!! He knows how to act cute and innocent!! lol
Oh and I didn't expect I would see Rodrigo Santoro! Among his movies I only saw Love Actually, but he's a good actor too.

It's been a long holiday weekend and as such, it's time to play catch up! Due to a faulty alarm clock, I'm sitting in for Eric once again on the news desk!
"Buffy" fans, it's time to arm your keyboards and get ready to hit the message boards. The folks at Vertigo entertainment are getting ready to relaunch "Buffy" once again. The folks at Vertigo are teaming up with the original movie direct Fran and Kaz Kazui to throw together this big screen take. The promise is a relaunch and not a sequel or a prequel. Can the fandom handle a non Whedon buffy with yet another perky blonde stepping into the slayer's shoes?
Sad news for "Castlevania" fans; the Paul W.S. Anderson big screen adaptation is officially dead. No more chances of Simon Belmont and clan on the silver screen. Could this be a sign of the end of video game movies?
Despite reports of raucous boo-ing and general hate for "Antichrist" at the Cannes Film Festival, lead actress Charlotte Gainsbourg was named Best Actress of the festival. It's seldom that horror is given any accolades at such events so kudos to Gainsbourg for drawing the nod despite the widespread distaste for the moving coming out of France.
A Chinese man sat perched on a bridge last week, ready to jump, when another man broke through the police tape and shoved him off. Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays.
In an effort to show solidarity to the country's beleaguered seal hunters, Canada's Governor General guts a freshly slaughtered seal and eats its raw heart in front of onlookers.
A 3 year old London toddler was stuck in a 5 day long coma due to meningitis. Assuming all was lost, the child woke on day five singing the complete lyrics to Abba's "Mama Mia". Sure, the kid's fine now, but what are they going to do about all the Hollywood lawyers suing for copyright infringement?
May 26th 1805 - Napoleon Bonapart is crowned King of Italy. For our own Eric, a hero is born!
Here's a tip to horror filmmakers out there, if you want me to post about your film, find a way to incorporate a "pig person" somehow. Sure it's been done by "SAW", but for the life of me I can't help but be creeped out whenever I see a person wearing a pig's head. It's just... NOT RIGHT.
Anyways, this is the trailer for "Necromentia", a truly bizarre looking film that's about to debut at the Cannes Film Festival. It's directed by Pearry Reginald Teo, and the synopsis looks like this:
Just a warning... being April Fool's day today, you may see some erroneous horror news floating around the web. We'll do our best not to participate in the douchery, but as you probably know sometimes it's hard to discern the real from the fake. Ironically, this is the one day a year when you actually CAN believe something Robert Englund says in an interview, so keep your ears open for "Freddy Vs Jason Vs Chucky" news.
Ron Perlman says that if all goes well he'll be starring in Don Coscarelli's "Bubba Nosferatu" this fall. Perlman, of "Hellboy" fame, is replacing Bruce Campbell as "Elvis" from the first film. I love Perlman, but I'm not sure he's capable of filling either of those roles. We'll have to wait and see.
There's a new poster for this movie "Eve" that came out yesterday, but that's not the interesting news. People are (rightfully) remarking on the similarities between this and the comic book adaptation "Hack & Slash"... and by "similarities" I mean, it's the same exact plot. There's enough room in my heart for two sexy slasher hunters, but I'm not sure the rights holders to "Hack & Slash" are going to agree. We'll keep you updated on any legal shenanigans that may arise from this.
Thomas Dekker of "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" talks about a few upcoming horror projects he's starring in. This should really please all of the Google searchers who seem to end up on our site while searching for people who also hate this guy.
Will Arnett and Michael Shannon have joined the cast of the "Jonah Hex" adaptation. After finally making my way through "Arrested Development" on DVD, hearing Arnett's name in conjunction with any project pretty much turns me into a giddy school girl.
Say what you want about the Weinstein's, they're definitely shrewd business men. They're continuing that trend by buying all the French horror they can while at the Cannes film festival. The way things have gone lately with the horror coming from our froggy friends, I can't say I blame them.
Hit someone with your car and accidentally kill them? It's all good, just leave a really nice apology note before you flee the scene. Your mother will be so proud.
There is so much panic in Egypt over an alleged text message that supposedly will kill you shortly after receiving it, that the health minister had to make a statement assuring people everything's ok. So let me get this straight, the Egyptians are now remaking shitty J-horror films, only in real life? Sarah Michelle Gellar's going to be all over this.
Wow, it looks like scientists in Britain are really close to using a giant "sun laser" to create clean nuclear fusion. After that, I say we take this thing and go destroy Tatooine. I never liked the cut of their jib anyways.
Live in India? It's your lucky day, doctors are now offering a deal where you can get your gun license fast tracked if you also get a vasectomy. Insert your own "shooting blanks" joke here.
1996: Wilson Pickett arrested for possession of cocaine, after a screaming, bloodied woman is seen running from his house. Not sure what you'd say to your neighbors after that to stop them from calling the cops, but I think I'd go with the old gem, "Move along folks, nothing to see here."
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

text: Posted Online: Oct. 03, 2012, 10:38 am 'Beauty Queen' is biting in humor and pathos Comment on this story By Jonathan Turner, firstname.lastname@example.com Photo: Submitted New Ground Theatre's 'The Beauty Queen of Leenane' features Erik Finch and Melissa Anderson Clark. Mag Folan probably doesn't get any Mother's Day gifts. You can see why in the outstanding New Ground Theatre production of "The Beauty Queen of Leenane."As played with steely intensity and withering contempt by Susan Perrin-Sallak, the selfish and manipulative 70-year-old has a urinary-tract infection. Mag has a daily habit of dumping her urine from a tin pail into the kitchen sink, and doesn't even rinse it. This is one of many reasons her harried daughter Maureen can't stand her.The 40-year-old virgin, who's never found true love, is basically a slave to her bitter, hateful mother, who mostly sits in her rocking chair in front of the TV, complaining, with a permanent scowl etched on her face. We feel the palpable, ever-present tension and frustration of the unappreciated Maureen, authentically personified by Melissa Anderson Clark.The 1996 Martin McDonagh play -- which won four Tony Awards and is the first of a trilogy -- is a biting blend of black comedy, melodrama, horror and inexorable tragedy. In the story, set in the Irish village of Leenane, Maureen's sisters have escaped into marriage and family life, but she is trapped in a seriously dysfunctional relationship with her mother.The four-character play takes place entirely in Mag's shabby kitchen, resulting in a claustrophobic sense of entrapment. Maureen openly fantasizes about killing Mag to win her freedom. Then Maureen caustically imagines Mag will live forever, just to spite her. Maureen regrets the life she's missed while being stuck in this house.Much of the genuine humor of the show comes from Mag's overbearing demands, her occasional forgetfulness, and scenes with Ray, played with pent-up and often explosive anger by the director, David Turley. Ray is the "bad boy" brother of Pato, an old high-school classmate of Maureen who returns from England. The play's title comes from his nickname for Maureen.There is a sweet, blooming romance between Maureen and Pato, played with natural sympathy and poignancy by Erik Finch, a Davenport native who recently moved back to the Quad-Cities from Kansas City, where he was active in theater. Pato stays the night; they revel in their good times; and Ms. Anderson Clark smiles warmly and winningly (a rarity in this play).There's an awkward scene the next morning between Mag and Pato, and Maureen gleefully parades around in her black slip, to the horror of her mother. They torment each other. As Mr. Turley said after the show, "They're both monsters, in their own way."There is a troubling back story of Maureen's past mental illness, which shockingly returns late in the play. At the top of the second act, Pato reads a confessional letter to Maureen as he pens it in England, and asks her to move to America with him.There's a key plot point revolving around what happens to that long letter. Ray waits with Mag to give it to Maureen (though I don't know why Pato couldn't have just mailed it directly). When Maureen thinks Mag knows something about the situation, we descend into a shattering, chilling final two scenes. What also contributes to the stunning realism of the play is the finely detailed set and sensitive lighting by designer Michael McPeters. This kitchen is fully stocked and looks fully lived-in. Even the wood-burning stove, which plays a pivotal role in the story, looks realistic. Pre-show Irish music and a handout explaining the play's unfamiliar words and references also are helpful. While Ms. Perrin-Sallak is an expert New Ground veteran, Ms. Anderson Clark, who's done mostly musicals in the area, is honing her dramatic chops in an electrifying way. She also memorably appeared on the Village Theatre stage last fall in the dark comedy "God of Carnage."New Ground, which is now in its 12th season, consistently, courageously presents high-quality, challenging contemporary plays that often are difficult to watch. I'm all for carefree, feel-good theater, but New Ground shows us life as it's actually lived, with all its messiness and problems. That frequent sense of unpredictability, raw dread and impending doom can induce nail-biting excitement in audiences. And that forceful fearlessness displayed by actors should be applauded. If you go -- What: "The Beauty Queen of Leenane."-- When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday.-- Where: The Village Theatre, 2113 E. 11th St., Village of East Davenport.-- Tickets: $18, $15 for students and seniors.

Studying Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease
Name of the Study
Principal Investigator
Why This Study Is Important
Because the immune system works to reject cells it sees as foreign, allogeneic transplants carry the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD occurs when donor lymphocytes (disease-fighting white blood cells) attack the patient's organs after HSCT or bone marrow transplantation. GVHD that occurs more than 100 days after a transplant is called chronic GVHD. Approximately 30 to 50 percent of allogeneic HSCT patients experience this late complication of therapy, which may seriously affect their quality of life and can be life threatening.
In this study, researchers are interested in determining the natural history of chronic GVHD and assessing biological factors that may predict outcomes associated with it.
"Patients with chronic GVHD who are enrolled in this study will come to the NIH Clinical Center to be evaluated by a multidisciplinary research team for 3½ days," said Dr. Pavletic. "Their participation will help us to better understand the biological and clinical components of chronic GVHD, and hopefully allow us to develop new therapies and assessment tools for patients with chronic GVHD.
"Additionally, participating patients may be screened for eligibility for future therapeutic trials to treat this condition," he noted.

September 10: A resident called to report a gas-purchasing card stolen. Officers are investigating.
September 9: Employees at a business on D Street arrived at work to discover a burglary had occurred overnight. Apparently addiction turned felonious when someone used a large rock to break a glass door and steal some beer from a shelf inside. The cost to repair the damage far outstrips the cost of the alcohol. Police are investigating.
September 9: A caller reported a car hauler parked in the middle of Fir Street, unloading vehicles and blocking traffic in violation of signs. The driver was contacted by police and cited.
September 9: Police were dispatched to the 2300 block of Peace Portal Drive where a business owner reported that a man from a B.C. plated car had just stopped to expose himself while urinating in public view. Officers canvassed the area but the suspect had zipped up and zipped away.
September 9: Officers received an evening report that a car alarm had been sounding off in a residential area for four hours. Officers contacted the residence where the car was parked, and learned that the car's owner was out of town and no one there had the key to deactivate the alarm. The homeowner had called a relative with some expertise to come fix the problem, and he was due to arrive in a few minutes.
September 9: Police responded to a midnight report of suspicious activity in a parking lot in the 1000 block of H Street. Officers arrived to find a chivalrous gentleman attending to a young woman who had just vomited. The girl said that she was having a bad reaction to some seafood. Further investigation revealed the seafood was swimming in alcohol. The 19-year-old Sumas resident was arrested for being a minor in possession of alcohol, and released to her stalwart boyfriend.
September 8: Blaine school district officials reported that a student on campus was possibly wanted on an arrest warrant. An officer confirmed the warrant, went to the school and arrested the youth. The 14-year-old was booked into the juvenile detention facility on two warrants.
September 8: A president of a company contacted the police in reference to someone possibly using his business name to purchase merchandise from other businesses. As of date, the local business is not at loss for any monies.
September 8: An anonymous citizen reported a speeding vehicle in an alleyway off B Street. A police officer made contact with the company, which owns the vehicle and informed them of the complaint. A supervisor there advised that the problem would be remedied.
September 8: A resident came in to report a theft of money from his checking account via his debit card. The victim loaned his debit card to an acquaintance to make one purchase of some beer. The suspect kept the card, and apparently took another $202 cash for himself at a later date. The victim cancelled his card and is assisting police in a criminal investigation. Investigating officers are gathering evidence in the case and will be contacting the suspect.
September 8: A resident on Canvasback reported that she thought a commercial vehicle struck and knocked over her mailbox. When the victim called the company that owns the truck, they denied that the incident occurred. Police are investigating to determine if there's cause to proceed against the company.
September 8: Police responded to a report of an argument in a trailer park parking lot. Those involved were last seen walking away from the park. Officers were not able to locate the pair.
September 8: Police received a Sunday evening call from a woman reporting two boys throwing water balloons over the Mitchell Street overpass onto the freeway traffic lanes below. An officer arrived quickly but found no one in sight.
September 8: During routine patrol downtown an officer observed two adults in a heated verbal exchange on H Street. Upon contact, the pair explained that they were arguing about the parenting schedule for their child in common. An officer stood by as the couple somewhat calmly came to an agreement, and then cleared when both parties departed.
September 8: A resident on 4th Street reported that a neighborhood canine was running loose in the evenings, dispensing messes in the yards of nearby victim families. The pet owners were contacted and advised of the various Blaine ordinances of which they were in violation. The owners agreed to comply with municipal mores, and the officer cleared without incident.
September 7: While patrolling Peace Portal Drive an officer observed a driver violate several rules of the roadway including driving off roadway, fail to stay right of center, speeding, and throwing a cigarette out the window. Officer stopped the vehicle and allowed the driver to pick up the cigarette to avoid that one thousand dollar citation, but did cite the 19-year-old for speeding and no proof of insurance.
September 7: A resident found a one-or-two-year-old male part pit bull roaming loose around the International Marketplace mall. The dog was turned over to the Humane Society because there was no identification tags on the dog's collar and officers could not locate his owner.
September 7: A Vancouver resident reported that she and her husband had misplaced their Canadian passports. They had stopped only at one gas station in Blaine since leaving U.S. Customs. A review of the surveillance tapes showed they did not lose the passports at the gas station. U.S. Customs advised they did not have the passports, either. An information report was completed.
September 6: A business on 3rd Street reported a woman loitering in the restroom there at 1 a.m. Upon officer's arrival, the transient departed. No crime. Case closed.
September 6: A 19-year-old girl called police at 4:32 a.m. to complain that a friend of her ex-boyfriend was calling and texting her against her wishes. The communiqués were not threatening, but very unwanted. The calls and text messages stopped when the victim advised the young man that the police had been called. Case closed.
September 6: Officers responded to a report of a man and woman arguing outside their Martin Street home at 4:40 a.m. Officers contacted the couple and determined that no domestic violence had occurred and they were in a heated non-physical discussion. Faced with the option of being quiet in public or noisy in custody, they chose the former.
September 6: During a contact with a resident on a different incident, the gentleman advised police that his home might have been burglarized. He showed officers a broken window screen, which they noticed covered a window that was still locked from the inside. Officers took an informational report and pictures of the broken window screen.
September 6: Acting on a tip, officers observed a suspicious person and his vehicle, and upon making contact with the man, discovered that he was driving while impaired by alcohol, and had a suspended Oregon driver's license. He was arrested and processed for the offenses.
September 5: Officers responded to a verbal domestic dispute between co-habitating relatives. The sister was upset at some of her adult brother's behaviors. Officers counseled the pair to a peaceful resolution.
September 5: Dispatch reported a non-blocking non-injury traffic collision between two vehicles. An officer arrived at the collision and spoke with the drivers. One admitted to not yielding to the other vehicle. Police helped the parties exchange information and completed a state collision report.
September 5: Port of Bellingham personnel reported a person was buying crab at Blaine Harbor without a business license. Officer contacted the subject: he did have a state license, but not a city of Blaine business license. He agreed to obtain one immediately.
September 5: A Canadian resident on Zero Avenue called Blaine police to report an A Street resident's garage band in Blaine was disturbing the peace and serenity of Surrey B.C. The aspiring international musicians were asked to cease and desist.
September 5: A bank official called to report two checks were cashed at a Blaine branch from an account that was later determined to have been closed. The bank has already filed reports in two other cities in Whatcom County where the same offense was committed by the suspect. Blaine officers are investigating.
September 5: Blaine police responded to a business alarm in the 400 block of Martin Street. Upon arrival the officers found a frantic employee unsuccessfully attempting to enter codes to quiet the din. The lady was confirmed to be an employee, and officers left her to her task of silencing the alarm.
September 5: Police responded to the 9700 block of Allen Street regarding a loud party. Police made contact with the partygoers and requested that they move their midnight festivities inside. Officer cleared after verbal warning, and no other calls were received.
September 4: An officer was called upon to investigate a violation of a temporary protection order. The suspect was located by police the next day, arrested and booked into jail for the violation.
September 4: Officer responded to a call of a dispute between neighbors on E Street. Officers arrived and found that one neighbor had watered her neighbor's walkway, back porch and windows. No lasting damage had occurred.
September 4: The owner of a pretty Pomeranian reported to the PD that a dog-at-large had just attacked her pet. Police searched the area but did not find the loose attacker. Vet bills to try to save the injured animal will be in the thousands of dollars. Police and animal control officers continue to investigate.
September 3: Officers responded to a disturbance call in the 600 block of Peace Portal where two subjects were refusing to leave. Police contacted two transients in an alley behind a bar. The older and less wise of the pair was loud, profane and verbally hostile towards everyone in the area. He refused to calm down and was ultimately arrested for disorderly C\conduct. He was released after becoming quiet, polite, and apologetically cooperative.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: A Tale of Two Markets
Cramer said utility mergers have an excellent track record of making money for their shareholders and he expects Duke Energy to also deliver. That's why with shares down 4.6% since the merger and surprise CEO switch last week, the time to buy shares of Duke energy is now.
Different Fates
"Never take your cue from the weakest player in the industry," Cramer reminded viewers as he compared the fates of Mako Surgical (MAKO) and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) in a battle of the surgical robot makers.
On Monday, Mako surprised investors by cutting its full-year forecasts, a move that sent shares plummeting 43%. In classic collateral damage fashion, shares of rival Intuitive Surgical also fell 20 points on the news despite the fact that Mako's problems have absolutely nothing to do with Intuitive Surgical.
Cramer said it was easy to see Mako's problems coming after the company reported terrible earnings on May 7, a 28 cent-a-share loss versus the 20-cent-a-share loss Wall Street was expecting. Those earrings gave Mako a 36% haircut at the time and prompted Cramer to put the stock in the penalty box on May 27.Cramer said that growth stocks like Mako are just like sharks -- they can't stop moving or they're dead in the water. Mako couldn't afford to miss on earnings, he said, but it did. Despite this huge red flag, many analysts still took a chance on Mako and recommended the stock, only to get blown out of the water Thursday. But what of Intuitive Surgical? Intuitive Surgical actually reported a strong quarter, noted Cramer, and the company has a proven track record and a huge base of installed customers from which to derive residual revenues. Trading at just 28 times earnings with a 21% growth rate, Cramer said the story at Intuitive Surgical remains intact.
Lightning RoundHere's what Cramer had to say about callers' stocks during the "Lightning Round": Loews Corp (L): "Symbol "L" is for winners. They have done a remarkable job making people money." VeriFone (PAY): "I think this company is out of the penalty box. I'm a buyer."

Teaching Introductory Geoscience Courses
Do you recall your first geoscience course? For many geoscience teachers, it was this first taste of plate tectonics, landforms, fossils or oceanography that suddenly made us realize we had found our calling. We hope that some of today's new students who experience their first earth science courses will become inspired just like we did. Yet some students take a 100-level geology course because it seems to be the least-daunting way through their college's science requirement. Thus, faculty of introductory courses have a big job on their hands, managing a wide range of students, taking them through the basics of earth science, and hopefully imparting some inspiration along the way.
This web module is for those who teach introductory earth science courses. Here you will find ideas for designing a new course, spicing up an existing course design, or adding innovative activities or teaching methods.
Designing an Introductory Course
To begin designing an Introductory Geoscience Course, we recommend combing through the general course design and learning goals pages. These help you articulate your course constraints and overarching goals. The following resources can then help you fulfill your teaching goals.
Pedagogical Approaches to Addressing Challenges in Introductory Geology
- Teaching Large Classes: An extensive collection including information on active learning pedagogies for large classrooms as well as assessment techniques and course examples.
- Motivating Students in Introductory Courses: Provides ideas to set a motivational tone and engage your students in the Intro Classroom.
Resource Collections
- Course Description collection of introductory-level geoscience courses, spanning a host of geoscience topics. These descriptions include learning goals, syllabi, and supporting information. See how your colleagues organize their Introductory courses.
- Teaching Activities include classroom activities, laboratory exercises, problem sets and more. These are aimed at intro-level audiences. If you use one of these activities, we also encourage you to provide an activity review.
- Read the essays submitted by participants in the 2014 Getting the Most out of Your Intro Courses workshop. Participants were asked to discuss how their introductory courses serve their students, their department, and their institution, specifically considering what features of their courses are targeted at serving those different audiences and needs, and how they know those features are working.
- Get started designing field trips to help your students see geoscience topics first-hand, an excellent way to "hook" introductory students. View activities designed for the field, example field experiences, additional resources, and important information on safety.
- Popular books written mostly by non-geologists reviewing geoscience topics in an accessible manner.
Special Topics
- Misconceptions often held by intro-level students. Prepare yourself to discuss these topics (and be sure to arm your students with facts).
- Getting the Most out of Your Introductory Courses was a virtual workshop held in March of 2014. It focused on the goals and roles of Intro courses for students, departments and institutions as well as the details of instructional design and management.
- 2010: From Passive to Active: Classroom Makeovers that Improve Teaching and Learning A one-day workshop held April 11, 2010 at the North Central and South Central sectional GSA meeting in Branson, MO.
- 2008: Teaching Introductory Geoscience in the 21st Century A follow-up to the July 2008 workshop, held December 14, 2008 at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, San Francisco, CA.
- 2008: Teaching Introductory Geoscience in the 21st Century Our original workshop, held July 14-17, 2008 at Carleton College in Northfield, MN.
