Preventing Cardiovascular Disease
The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as defined by the American Heart Association, include coronary heart disease (coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease), stroke (brain attack), high blood pressure (hypertension), and rheumatic heart disease.
More than 80 million U.S. adults have one or more forms of CVD.
Each year in the U.S., cardiovascular diseases top the list of most serious health problems. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death, and stroke is the fourth leading cause of death. Stroke is also the number one cause of serious, long-term disability.
Yet, studies show that nearly everyone can become heart healthy by following a healthy diet and participating in an appropriate exercise program; eliminating tobacco products; and following a routine health care plan.
Most important to combating cardiovascular diseases as the number one cause of disability and death is early detection and early treatment.

Alejandro Fernįndez
Alejandro Fernįndez
One of Mexico's biggest international superstars around the turn of the millennium, Alejandro Fernįndez first established himself in the early '90s as a champion of ranchera music before crossing over to the Latin pop mainstream in 1997 with the chart-topping album Me Estoy Enamorando. Born on April 24, 1971, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Fernįndez is the son of ranchera icon Vincente Fernįndez, which inspired the media to nickname him El Potrillo (the Little Colt). Beginning with his self-titled debut album in 1992, Fernįndez followed in the footsteps of his father, performing traditional Mexican music of the Jalisco region such as mariachi. While this phase of Fernįndez's career -- including the albums Alejandro Fernandez (1992), Piel de Nińa (1993), Grandes Exitos a la Manera de Alejandro Fernandez (1994), Que Seas Muy Feliz (1995), and Muy Dentro de Mi Corazón (1996), all of which were produced by Pedro Ramķrez -- spawned a steady series of hit singles, his career skyrocketed to new heights of success with the release of Me Estoy Enamorando (1997). Produced by Emilio Estefan, Jr. and Kike Santander -- far and away the preeminent Latin pop production team of the era -- the album marked the crossover of Fernįndez into the realm of mainstream pop. Not only did Me Estoy Enamorando itself top Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart; it also spawned four Hot Latin Tracks chart-toppers: "Si Tś Supieras," "En el Jardķn" (a duet with Gloria Estefan), "No Sé Olvidar," and "Yo Nacķ Para Amarte." As if to reassure his fan base that he hadn't abandoned his roots, Fernįndez reunited with longtime producer Pedro Ramķrez next and returned to ranchera music on Mi Verdad (1999) before collaborating once again with Estefan and Santander on another pop-oriented chart-topper, Entre Tus Brazos (2000). In subsequent years, Fernįndez continued to alternate between traditional albums of ranchera music (Orķgenes, 2001; Nińa, Amada Mķa, 2003) and those oriented toward contemporary Latin pop (A Corazón Abierto, 2004; Viento a Favor, 2007). In addition, he began regularly releasing live in-concert albums (Un Canto de México, 2002; En Vivo: Juntos por Ultima Vez, 2003; México-Madrid: En Directo y Sin Escalas, 2005) and also released his first greatest-hits collection, 15 Ańos de Éxitos (2008). Following the end of his seven-album contract with Sony, he left the label and signed to Fonovisa. Sony then tried to release an album of his previously unreleased tracks; Fernįndez sued, and 6000 copies of the album were seized by police. In 2009, under his new label, he launched an ambitious project called Dos Mundos, which consisted of two separate albums, Evolución and Tradición, released on the same day -- the former more Latin pop, the latter traditional ranchera and mariachi music. He then took the new music on tour, resulting in the live album Dos Mundos: Revolución (2010). ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

There is a newer version of this report available: Marketing Budgets 2014
- SAMPLE: Marketing Budgets 2012 (800 KB PDF)
- Marketing Budgets 2012 (1.85 MB PDF)
The Marketing Budgets 2012 Report, published by Econsultancy in association with Experian Marketing Services, looks in detail at how companies are allocating their online and offline marketing budgets in 2012.
The report compares spending trends - and ability to measure ROI - across different 'traditional' and digital channels.
More than 500 companies, mainly from the UK, participated in this research, which took the form of an online survey between December 2011 and January 2012.
The report includes the following sections:
- Marketing budgets
- Investment in technology and resources
- Marketing effectiveness and ROI
- Barriers to further investment
We have identified six key trends:
- Digital continues to be a key priority for marketers in 2012
- Companies are recruiting more staff, but shortage of talent is still preventing them from fully harnessing digital marketing
- More companies embrace digital marketing technology, with a focus on measuring and optimising business performance
- The big paradox: social media marketing is the fastest-growing channel in terms of investment, but remains the hardest to measure
- Television remains one of the most enduring media for brand advertising
- Mobile penetration and engagement have reached a tipping point, but ad spend still lag behind

Fern is the classic harmony for men's fragrance, the ultimate in elegance.

Cross training shoes have quickly become one of the most popular types of athletic shoes today, but they also can create confusion for consumers. Also known as cross trainers, these shoes are constructed to meet the basic functional needs of athletes engaged in a variety of activities, and provide comfort, stability and durability.
If your workout regimen includes attending exercise classes, weightlifting and running, cross trainers are a good choice for you. They will save you from buying sport specific shoes, like running shoes, which are made specifically for running.
The ability of cross training shoes to perform equally well in sports like weightlifting, volleyball and tennis, have made them tremendously popular. In addition, continuous technological innovation in products, like Reebok, has created interest in this incredibly desirable shoe.
Be aware that the best cross trainer for you will vary based on foot size, shape and the way you move. The movements you make while playing tennis differ sharply than the movement during a visit to the gym. Therefore, focus on how the shoes fit and respond to you.
Know which key features of cross trainers are important to you. A leather upper provides more stability, but less breathability. If breathability is important to you, look for cross trainers that combine both leather and mesh.
Test your new shoes in the environment you'll be wearing them in. If you work out towards the end of the day, then that is the ideal time to test the fit of cross training shoes. Its also important to understand the way your foot strikes the ground, or pronation. This will help you select cross training shoes that will offer the best support. Generally, cross trainers are designed to meet the demands of all foot types. Cushioning is usually durable and dense which enhances stability.
Cross training shoes are an excellent choice for most athletic activities, but to obtain the best performance and prevent injury, you should understand which activities suit the strengths of these shoes best. Since cross trainers are created to maximize lateral stability, you should use them primarily for activities that include side-to-side motion.
Activities that focus on forward motion, like running or walking, are better suited to shoes specifically designed for those activities.

Just when you thought that things couldn't get any better than a non nom treat at the end of the day...comes a pretty cool story. The basics...the kid said he just wanted to do the right thing...and he's doing it right. Image source: Wikimedia Commons
A Minnesota Dairy Queen manager is getting widespread kudos for an act of kindness that required giving one customer the deep freeze treatment after some questionable behavior. Joey Prusak had just finished serving one of his regular customers when the visually impaired man unknowingly dropped a $20 bill from his pocket. A woman in line behind him quickly picked up the money – and then put it in her purse. "She picked it up so quickly that I thought she was going to give it back but she just stood there and waited," Prusak told TODAY.com. "I was extremely confused when she let the man walk by. She just stood there and put it in her purse and I was like, 'Really?' Prusak, 19, said the experience left him feeling "violated." After taking a few seconds to compose himself, he politely asked the woman to give the money back. The woman refused, insisting the money was hers. Prusak asked her again but got the same response. That's when Prusak asked the woman to leave. "She made a big scene, but I told her I couldn't serve her, so she stormed out," he said. "Everyone that was in the store at the time was kind of in shock. They just looked at each other like, 'did that really happen?' and kept to ourselves," he said. Not everyone. One of the customers who witnessed the scene wrote about it in a letter to Prusak's boss, commending the employee for his composure and especially for what he did once the woman left. "Your employee approached the man and took out his wallet and said, 'Sir, on behalf of the Dairy Queen, I would like to give you the $20 you dropped on the ground as you walked away from the counter," according to the letter, which was sent by an anonymous writer. The customer sent the note to the owner of the store where Prusak has worked for the past five years, since he was 14. The store owner printed out the note, which was soon posted by a co-worker on his Facebook page. Eventually, the message made its way around the Internet and got picked up on Reddit. Prusak, who is studying business management at the local community college, is taking all the attention in modest stride. He said the store's owner has called the international Dairy Queen office, hoping executives there will reward Prusak, who races cars as a hobby, by sponsoring a NASCAR vehicle he wants to buy. "I didn't expect it to go anywhere. I didn't tell anyone. I didn't tell my boss. I didn't even tell my own parents," he said. "A lot of people are saying 'thank you' for what I did. Just telling me that means a lot."
Police in South Carolina arrested a woman Monday night after she stabbed her roommate multiple times for refusing to stop playing music by the Eagles. 54 year old Vernett Bader, became irritated with her 64-year-old male roommate (and one-time boyfriend) after he rejected her pleas to turn off the Eagles and told her to "shut up." Bader then entered the kitchen and grabbed a serrated knife, which she subsequently used to stab her roommate several times in the arm, hand, and elbow. The roommate and his brother managed to wrestle the knife away from Bader, but she quickly retrieved another from the kitchen. All three were intoxicated at the time.
This was one of my giant childhood fears. Thinking Santa Claus would get stuck in my chimney. No thanks to the movie Gremlins, which reinforced the idea. Here's the story from the AP:
Firefighters chiseled a hole through bricks early Tuesday to rescue a man who had gotten himself stuck inside a 20-inch wide chimney space at a Washington home that had been converted to apartments.
The young man was not hurt and was not suspected of a crime, but it's unclear why he apparently climbed into the unused chimney, Tacoma Battalion Chief Dyre Fudge said.
"Stories range from 'hide and seek" to 'repairing the ceiling. Nobody was able to get the straight story," Fudge said.
Firefighters were called about 1:30 a.m. to help the young man who was wedged at the second-floor level of the three-story house. A technical team trained in confined-space rescues was called in to rip through a wall and use power equipment to cut a hole in the chimney.
Firefighters lowered a rope to the man to hold him in place until he was able to step out about a half-hour later.

Poor Delta gets less respect than even Denny's and Philip Morris. A new survey of businesspeople finds the airline is the least respected of the brands studied. The most respected? PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, in a tie. CoreBrand, a branding research firm, asked respondents about 100 well-known corporate brands that have been publicly traded for at least five years; favorability ratings were based on a company's reputation, how people view its management, and how promising it is as an investment. (The survey captures the attitudes of the business world, not consumers.) The bottom five:

In an effort to try and eat a little healthier these days, I've been avoiding fast food as much as possible. That's not to say I don't fall victim to a Big Mac attack (anybody still use that term anymore?) every now and then. You've probably heard of the protests that have been going on where fast-food workers want to make a "living wage" of $15 an hour. Chains say they'd have to jack up prices if that ever happened. But just how high?
So apparently you need a job just to afford HAVING a job? Here's how it breaks down . . .
Ray Manzarek, a founding member of the 1960s rock group The Doors whose versatile and often haunting keyboards complemented Jim Morrison's gloomy baritone and helped set the mood for some of rock's most enduring songs, has died. He was 74.
Manzarek died Monday in Rosenheim, Germany, surrounded by his family, said publicist Heidi Robinson-Fitzgerald. She said the musician's manager, Tom Vitorino, confirmed Manzarek died after being stricken with bile duct cancer.
The Doors' original lineup, which also included drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robbie Krieger, was only together for a few years and they only made six studio albums. But the band has retained a large and obsessive following decades after Morrison's death, in 1971. The Doors have sold more than 100 million records and songs such as "Light My Fire" and "Riders On the Storm" are still "classic" rock favorites. For Doors admirers, the band symbolized the darker side of the Los Angeles lifestyle, what happened to the city after the sun went down and the Beach Boys fans headed home.
Next to Morrison, Manzarek was the most distinctive-looking band member, his glasses and wavy blond hair making him resemble a young English professor more than a rock star, a contrast to Morrison's Dionysian glamour - his sensuous mouth and long, dark hair. Musically, Manzarek's spidery organ on "Light My Fire" is one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock history.
But he seemed up to finding the right touch for a wide range of songs - the sleepy, lounge-style keyboards on "Riders On the Storm"; the liquid strains for "The Crystal Ship"; the barrelhouse romps on "Roadhouse Blues." The Doors always considered themselves "more" than a rock band and Manzarek, Densmore and Krieger often managed a flowing rapport that blended rock, blues and jazz behind Morrison's self-consciously poetic lyrics.
"There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison's words," Densmore said in a statement. "Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother."
The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. Their records have been reissued frequently and the band was the subject of a 1991 Oliver Stone movie, "The Doors," starring Val Kilmer as Morrison and Kyle MacLachlan as Manzarek, who complained that the film stereotyped Morrison as a hopeless drunk and also omitted calmer, more humorous times. The Doors' fame has hardly faded even though they're one of the few groups not to allow their music to be used for commercials, a source of great tension among surviving members. Manzarek and Krieger reportedly supported licensing the songs, and Densmore has resisted. The group also feuded when Krieger and Manzarek formed a new group, Doors of the 21st Century. Densmore objected, and Krieger and Manzarek performed under various names.
Other Doors albums included "The Soft Parade," `'Waiting for the Sun" and their last record with Morrison, "L.A. Woman."
Manzarek briefly tried to hold the band together on the albums "Other Voices" and "Full Circle," neither of which had critical or commercial success. He played in other bands over the years, working with X and Iggy Pop among others. He also wrote a memoir, "Light My Fire," and a novel, "The Poet In Exile," in which he imagines receiving messages from a Morrison-like artist who had supposedly died.
Born and raised in Chicago, Manzarek studied piano as a child and briefly considered a career in basketball. After graduating from DePauw University, he headed west to study film at UCLA. A few months after graduation, he and Morrison met in 1965 on Venice Beach in California. As Manzarek would often recall, Morrison read him some lyrics - Let's swim to the moon/Let's climb through the tide/Penetrate the evening that the/City sleeps to hide" - that became the start of "Moonlight Drive."
"I'd never heard lyrics to a rock song like that before," Manzarek told Billboard in 1967. "We talked a while before we decided to get a group together and make a million dollars."
By 1966, they had been joined by Krieger and Densmore and were a sensation live, especially during the theatrical, Oedipal epic, "The End." They were the house band at the famed Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles before being signed by Elektra Records and releasing a self-titled album in 1967, one of the most talked-about debuts in rock history.
"Well, to me, my God, for anybody who was there it means it was a fantastic time," Manzarek told The Republican in Massachusetts during an interview last year. "We thought we could actually change the world - to make it a more Christian, Islamic, Judaic Buddhist, Hindu, loving world. We thought we could. The children of the `50s post-war generation were actually in love with life and had opened the doors of perception. And we were in love with being alive and wanted to spread that love around the planet and make peace, love and harmony prevail upon earth, while getting stoned, dancing madly and having as much sex as you could possibly have."
Manzarek is survived by his wife, Dorothy; his son Pablo and two brothers, Rick and James. Funeral arrangements are pending. Source: AP

George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 – April 26, 2013) was an American country music singer known for his long list of hit records, his distinctive voice and phrasing, and his marriage to Tammy Wynette. Over the past 20 years, Jones has frequently been referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings, in his song "It's Alright" expressed a common jealousy when he said, "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." Throughout his long career, Jones made headlines often as much for tales of his drinking, stormy relationships with women, and violent rages as for his prolific career of making records and touring. His wild lifestyle led to Jones missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones."[1] With the help of his fourth wife, Nancy, he has been sober for more than 10 years. Jones has had more than 150 hits during his career, both as a solo artist and in duets with other artists. The shape of his nose and facial features have given Jones the nickname "The Possum." Jones said in an interview that he has chosen to tour only about 60 dates a year. In August 2012, it was announced that at the conclusion of his 2013 tour, Jones' would retire to spend more time with his family. Titled "The Grand Tour", Jones' final tour takes place across 60 dates. Jones died April 26, 2013 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. He was hospitalized April 18 with fever and irregular blood pressure.

There are some people that fit the term 'beloved." I think Annette Funicello was one of them.
Disney's official fan club has just broken the news on Twitter:
Annette Funicello has died at age 70. The actress, singer and beloved Mousketeer had been hospitalized due to complications from multiple sclerosis, according to Extra. The Disney Fan Club says Funicello died today at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Calif. Her family confirmed to Extra that Funicello died from complications of multiple sclerosis. They were by her side when she was taken off life support. Funicello had been in an MS coma for years, reports the site. Funicello was 12 when she became a Mouseketeer.

Working in radio, I often get the chance to meet and greet celebrities. Of those I've met, I distinctly remember and enjoyed meeting Roger Ebert. While many teenage kids would sneak cigarettes, booze from mom & dad's liquor cabinet or do something else mischevous, I would stay up late on Sunday nights, After curfew, after TV hours were done, I would sneak into our family's TV room at 10:30pm and watch At The Movies. I loved Siskel and Ebert's job, being able to watch movies for a career, then telling people what they thought about them. I have tried hard to emulate their careers in my own.
One of my favorite comments from Ebert was when he was analyzing one of the many Friday The 13th sequels from the 1980s and said the film could only be of interest to people who "like to smell dirty socks." Cutting, brilliant imagery and funny.
I was quite saddened to hear today that Roger Ebert passed away. Although I had only met him once, I considered him a mentor. Known for his movie reviews, he was also a literary wiz. His hands were involved in 1970's Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, which only upped his street cred. I also thought he was a well spoken, well versed and well lived Chicagoan. Im so happy he left his mark on this world.
You will be missed. PS...Roger....I extremely apologize for allowing my cell phone to go off during your introduction of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rebecca" at the 2004 Wisconsin Film Fest. There were only about 40 people in the room and I pretended like it wasn't my phone. How embarrasing!
You will be missed.
PS...Roger....I extremely apologize for allowing my cell phone to go off during your introduction of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rebecca" at the 2004 Wisconsin Film Fest. There were only about 40 people in the room and I pretended like it wasn't my phone. How embarrasing!
To make up for it, I have held onto my ticket to see "A Hard Day's Night" that Roger introduced at the 2003 Wisconsin Film Festival. I still remember his description of George Harrison's first chord of the song "A Hard Day's Night." He said that was the sound that started the 1960s revolution. Rock on my fellow film fan.
It's my voice...i can't really change it. It's just part of me, so why hate it? You know that thing where everyone hates the sound of their own voice? Here comes the science to why we think that way....
( Note: I am not a scientist, but i do play one on TV...and I found a research article on this today )
There are two ways for sounds to reach your inner ear: Through the AIR, or through the BONES in your skull. When you talk, your vocal cords vibrate . . . and that vibration goes through the bones in your skull, directly to your inner ear. Traveling through bone causes a sound's frequency to be lower, which means you hear yourself talking in a deeper voice than everyone else . . . since THEY hear your voice through the air. But when you hear a RECORDING of your voice, you hear it the same way everyone ELSE does. It travels through the air, to your eardrum, and then to your inner ear. And it sounds high-pitched and unfamiliar, so you don't like it.
At least that's what scientists have to say about it. I did the thing where you talk into a fan so often as a child (just like from this clip from "Tommy Boy") that I think this is how I always sound:
I'm certianly not above admitting when I'm wrong, and I was wrong about how well the Badger Men's Hockey Team was going to do this season. I said at the beginning of the season they were in a rebuilding year and this was going to be a rough one. I think a lot of fans felt the same way too. I also think that's part of the glue that bonded this team together and made them the WCHA Champs that they are. Using that underdog status, they rose above the adversity and claimed the glory that they rightfully deserve.
When's the last time you left a friend a voicemail? If you can't remember, don't worry, it means you're being polite. At least according to an article in the "New York Times", the new rule of cell phone etiquette in this day and age is: only leave a voicemail if it's a LIFE-OR-DEATH EMERGENCY.
Otherwise, hang up and send a text summarizing what you were going to say.
The theory here is that leaving a voicemail is a BURDEN on the other person. They have to actually go to the trouble of pressing the button and listening to it. And there's nothing you'd say in a voicemail you can't say in a text.
i am quite the sucker for cool handles. In particular, I have always loved the code name that the president gets in thriller movies. Imagine a scene where the secret service is rushing the president to safety shouting "We must protect Eagle-1!" Love it. There's a movie coming out March 22nd called Olympus Has Fallen. It stars Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, and Gerard Butler and it looks like a suspense thriller where the White House is under attack. I suspect the name "Olympus Has Fallen" is some sort of code word for such. The film has come up with a Code Name Generator, so each and every one of us can have our own. Mine: Stingray. I like it. Find out yours here. Also, check out this list of our actual politicians and their code names. I'm not sure it's legit, but it's fun!
TV just lost one of its first modern mothers. Bonnie Franklin died today at the age of 69 of pancreatic cancer
Franklin first appeared on television at age 9 in The Colgate Comedy Hour.[5] As a small child, she later appeared in a non-credited role in the Alfred Hitchcock film The Wrong Man. In the 1960s she portrayed a teenage feature character in "You're the Judge," a short educational film about baking sponsored by Procter & Gamble featuring the use of Crisco. She debuted on Broadway in 1970 in the musical Applause, earning a Tony Award nomination.[1] She appeared at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, New Jersey in both George M! and A Thousand Clowns.
In 1988, she appeared at the Bucks County Playhouse and at the Pocono Playhouse, both in Pennsylvania, in the title role of Annie Get Your Gun.
In 1988, she appeared with Tony Musante at the Westside Arts Theatre (in Manhattan) in Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune by Terrence McNally. She later performed in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at the Pittsburgh Public Theater (July 1998). In 1997, she appeared at Ford's Theater, Washington, D.C., in All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten (September 1999). In 2005, she appeared with Bruce Weitz at the New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park, Kansas in 2 Across (August–September 2011). She played "Ouiser" in a production of Steel Magnolias at the Rubicon Theater, Ventura, California (October 4-October 14, 2011)
In April 2011, Franklin and other cast members from One Day at a Time accepted the "Innovators Award" from the TV Land cable channel—one of several awards in the annual event. The citation on the TV Land web site reads: "One Day At A Time is being presented with the Innovator Award, which is given to a television series that carved out new territory, tackled important issues of its day and helped re-defined its genre. The series, which was a hybrid drama/comedy, addressed such taboo topics as pre-marital sex, suicide, sexual harassment and more, breaking barriers and paving the way for future shows to tackle these issues as well. Developed and written in part by TV visionary Norman Lear, One Day At A Time aired on CBS for nine seasons from 1975-1984. Starring Bonnie Franklin, Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips as Ann Romano, Barbara Cooper and Julie Cooper, the series revolved around a family headed by a single mother (Franklin) that relocates to Indianapolis, where their new apartment building super, Dwayne Schneider (Pat Harrington Jr.), befriends them. Also taking part in the cast reunion is Glenn Scarpelli, who joined the series in 1980 as the son of Ann's boyfriend, Nick."[13]
On April 28, 2012, she was among several stars who appeared at the 28th annual Southland Theatre Artists Goodwill Event (STAGE) benefit, titled Original Cast 3, at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills to benefit AIDS Project Los Angeles. The event raised over $200,000 for APLA's work with clients living with HIV and AIDS in Los Angeles County. Franklin and other original-cast members from a variety of musicals, performed songs with which they are associated. Franklin sang the title song from Applause, which she had originally introduced on Broadway in 1970.[14]
Franklin was best known for her portrayal of divorced mother Ms. Ann Romano on the television situation comedy One Day at a Time (1975–1984). Franklin guest-starred on several television series, including The Man from U.N.C.L.E. ("The Gazebo in the Maze Affair" from 1965). She had a semi-regular role in the ABC series Gidget. She directed several episodes of the 1980s sitcom Charles in Charge. In 2011, she was reunited with her One Day at a Time costar Valerie Bertinelli on Hot in Cleveland, playing the mother of Bertinelli's character's boyfriend. Franklin signed to appear in several episodes of the daytime drama The Young and the Restless on CBS television. The episodes were broadcast in August 2012. The actress was cast as a nun, Sister Celeste, who comes to the assistance of Victor Newman.[15]
Have you heard of the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas?
You can assume a lot from the name, but the eatery's slogan is "a burger to die for." It gives free meals to people who weigh more than 350 pounds, and a sign reads "Caution: This establishment is bad for your health."
Among the menu items; an 8,000-calorie Quadruple Bypass Burger, butterfat milkshakes and "flatliner fries" cooked in lard.
It's unfortunate, but not shocking that someone died there...
Earlier this week, in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Paul Baier made a deal with his 14-year-old daughter Rachel. If she quit Facebook completely until the end of June, he'd pay her $200. She gets $50 in mid-April and the other $150 on June 26th.
They even signed a contract. On the part of the contract where Rachel says how she'll use the money, she wrote, quote, "stuff." Paul says this was Rachel's idea. Quote, "She wants to earn money and also finds Facebook a distraction and a waste of time sometimes." But she does plan to get back on Facebook once the five months are over.
Hmmmm...would you do this with your kids?
Fans and judges chose an entry from Richfield, Minn. resident Ben Peters who impressed them the most.
If there was ever a list of Madison restaurants that deliver good food consistently, you have to put Captain Bill's on that list. OK, techincally it's located in Middleton, but with food this tasty, who cares? I made reservations to dine at Captan Bill's on Sunday night with my significant other and it was the perfect way to wrap up the weekend. It's a great date restaurant and they've done a good job with atmosphere. We were quikcly and politely seated. Drinks were prompt and with the Restaurant Week menu, our food was swiftly served. From the bar, i ordered my standby beverage, a Jack Daniels and Coke. It was a stiff drink, but that's not such a bad thing before dining. The full Captain Bill's $25 Restaurant Week menu is here, but here's what we ordered: I had the Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing, followed by The Shrimp Duet and closed with the Chocolate Bread Pudding. My date had the Wedge Salad, paired with the Lobster Tail/Tenderloin Surf and Turf Combo. She chose the Key Lime Pie dessert.
Hot bacon dressing jsut naturally sounds good, but the texture combination with fresh spinach was refresing. The wedge salad was complimentable and tasty. My shrimp served two ways came with a four prawn worthy sized coconut shrimp, matched with lemon sweetened sauce for dipping. They were paried with four butterflied shrimp stuffed with large chunks of crab meat, and topped with a glazed holiandaise sauce. Both sides were complimentary to the main course, which was also paired with diced yellow and orange carrots. My date's lobster tail was delectable. Captain Bills never does lobster wrong. I recommend the tenderloin be served medium for full flavor. Bread Pudding is a favorite of mine and the chocolate baked in provided a nice harmony of sweetness. The creme' anglaise rounded things out with a creamy texture. My date, who is a fan of sour, said the key lime pie was tame for her tastes, but after a sampling, my eyes bulged out from the tart. Cut it with the whipped cream and it's perfect for my tastes. All that and were were seated, served and had room for some nice conversation in one hour. Captain Bills cleary has the process down. Madison Restaurant Week is now through Friday. Starting at $25, participating restaurants offer a prix-fixed menu with 3 courses and 3 options of each course. Some restaurants offer a reduced menu for $15 for lunch. This year, some restaurants are also offering $30 and $35 dinner options. No passes, tickets or coupons are required. Diners may simply visit their favorite participating restaurants throughout the week to enjoy the special menus. Diners are strongly recommended to make reservations in advance.

Everyone knows Santa relies on the magic of Christmas to deliver presents to every kid in the world in one night. But what if he didn't?
How big would Santa's organization need to be, to still get everything delivered on Christmas Eve? Representatives from FedEx and UPS actually crunched the numbers, and according to them, he'd need 12 MILLION employees. Here's how it breaks down.
There are 760 million children worldwide who would assumedly recieve gitfs from Santa, and Santa has to hit them all in 24 hours . . . about 9,000 deliveries a second. That's about 760 million pounds of cargo . . . enough for three hundred 747's.
He'd need 46 international distribution centers, with 400,000 elves just loading the sleigh, and another 832,000 in logistics, support, and HR.
He'd also need 40,000 elves to deal with customs regulations in all the different countries . . . 67,000 to secure flyover rights, and schedule and optimize his flight plan . . . and 100 meteorologists.
That still leaves about 10 million elves getting presents to distribution centers, and doing "general assignment." All so each kid can get one present each, weighing a pound. Yowza!
From the Newtown Bee Newspaper: A group of Newtown parents has formed the My Sandy Hook Family Fund (www.MySandyHookFamilyFund.com). This group is made up of the parents of the children who survived. They are the classmates, friends, coaches and neighbors of the victims of Friday's massacre. The goal of the Family Fund is to provide immediate and continuing support to the 26 families who lost children and family members in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. All net proceeds donated will go to support the families of the victims. CLICK HERE for more information on donating to this fund...
Listeners have asked where they can send non-cash donations as well, suchs as teddy bears and other toys/stuffed animals. An employee of the Newtown Bee Newspaper tells us that they have received many such donations and gifts from around the country and globe, and will distribute them to the community and impacted families. Here is the mailing address for the Newtown Bee: Newtown Bee
Play it again Sam. Right?
Nope. That's actually one of the most misquoted lines in movie history.
Misquote: "Play it again, Sam"
This is often believed to have been said by Bogart in Casablanca. In fact, he closest Bogart came to the phrase was this: "You played it for her, you can play it for me…If she can stand it, I can. Play it!" Interestingly, Ingrid Bergman's character comes closest when she says: "Play it, Sam."
If you're being picky, there's also these too:
Misquote: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
This is an incorrect quotation. In Disney's animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), the wicked Queen asked: "Magic Mirror on the Wall, who is the Fairest one of all?"
Listen to the original
Misquote: I want to suck your blood!
This quote, usually attributed to Bela Lugosi who played Dracula in 1931, was actually never spoken by Lugosi. However, it was used for humor in Tim Burton's 1994 Ed Wood. Muahaha!
Misquote: "Luke, I am your father"
Commonly believed to have been said by Darth Vader, this quote did not actually occur at all. The actual quote was "No, I am your father" and it was not even delivered on camera – it was dubbed in later; what was originally said on camera was "Obi-Wan killed your father".
Forrest Gump
Misquote: "My mama always said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
Okay – it is a minor point, but he actually says "Life was like a box of chocolates."
Apollo 13
Misquote: "Houston, we have a problem."
Also sometimes misquoted as: "Houston, we've got a problem." Both are wrong. The correct historical phrase was: "Houston, we've had a problem."
Misquote: May the Force be With You
This quote is wrongly attributed to Obi Wan Kenobi who actually said: "The Force will be with you…always", and "Remember, the Force will be with you…always". Han Solo, on the other hand, did say this at one point in the film.
Here's the story that got me thinking about film today:

Here's what's going on in this picture:
It's back. That's annual list of how much each item in "The 12 Days Of Christmas" would cost. Who knew those swans would hold their value from year to year. You'd think you could just catch some in the wild and save the money. Every year, the people at PNC Wealth Management calculate their "Christmas Price Index" . . . which looks at all of the items in the song "The 12 Days of Christmas" and figures out how much it would cost to buy all of them. This year, if you wanted to buy everything from the song once, it would cost you $25,431.18. That's up 4.8% from last year. But if you think about it, the song doesn't call for you to just buy everything once. Every day you're supposed to buy that day's gift, like five gold rings or eight maids-a-milking, AND all of the stuff from the previous days. Like, on the third day, you don't just buy three French hens. You ALSO have to buy two more turtle doves and another partridge in a pear tree. To follow the song to the letter like that, it would cost you $107,300.24. That's up 6.1% from last year. The biggest price jump this year is the six geese-a-laying. Six geese jumped 29.6%, from $162 in 2011 to $210 this year. Five gold rings had the next-largest jump. A pear tree had the third-biggest. Here's the full breakdown . . .
--A partridge in a pear tree. The partridge is $15, the pear tree is $189.99. --Two turtle doves. They cost $125, or $62.50 per dove. --Three French hens. These are $165, or $55 per hen. --Four calling birds. The price is the same as last year, $519.96, or $129.99 each. --Five gold rings. These are now $750, or $150 per ring. --Six geese-a-laying. These are $210, or $35 per goose. --Seven swans-a-swimming. This is the most expensive item on the list, at $7,000, or $1,000 per swan. --Eight maids-a-milking. They'll cost $58 . . . in other words, each one gets one hour of minimum wage, $7.25. --Nine ladies dancing. Getting nine dancers costs $6,294.03, or just under $700 per person. --Ten lords-a-leaping. That's $4,766.70, or $476.67 each. Although I bet if you shop around you can find 10 guys to jump around for cheaper. --Eleven pipers piping. They cost $2,562, or $232.90 each. --Twelve drummers drumming. They cost $2,775.50, or $231.30 each.
I know injuries are nothing to laugh about, but I just can't help myself when it comes to Turkey Fryer explosions. I think they are quite hilarious because they are 100% preventable. Therefore; the boneheads who hurt themselves doing it are bringing it on themselves. Here's the stats for this year:
A lot of people think deep-fried turkey is the ONLY way to eat turkey. Unfortunately, it's also BY FAR the riskiest way to eat turkey. According to State Farm insurance, fire departments are called to at least 1,000 MAJOR FIRES or EXPLOSIONS because of turkey frying accidents every Thanksgiving. And those fires cause more than $15 MILLION in property damage.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped donate to this year's Thanksgiving On The Mayflower food drive. With a matching donation from Fresh Madison Market we helped donate over 20,000 pounds worth of food to the Community Action Coalition School Challenge Winners: 1st Place: Monona Grove HS - $1,000 prize, just over 6,400lbs of food & cash 2nd Place: Blackhawk Middle School - $300 prize, just over 2,200 lbs of food & cash 3rd Place: East High School - $200 prize, just over 400 lbs of food & cash

Kitzhaber open to restrictions on assault weapons
Dec 19, 2012 | 2 Comments
By STEVEN DUBOIS
Of the Associated Press
PORTLAND — Last week's shooting in an Oregon shopping mall and massacre at a Connecticut elementary school have made it all but certain that gun control will be on the table when the state Legislature convenes Jan. 10.
It remains to be seen, however, whether any restrictions will be approved in a state where a majority of households have guns, and where Democrats, who are generally more favorable to regulation, hold a slim 16-14 advantage in the Senate.
When Gov. John Kitzhaber ordered flags at half-staff for the victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, he said he supported President Barack Obama's call for meaningful action to limit future tragedies.
Kitzhaber's spokesman, Tim Raphael, said Wednesday that the Democratic governor has asked his staff to bring forward a range of options to improve school security, expand access to mental health and address firearms regulations.
The twin rampages caused everyone to reflect on these intertwined issues and there's "clearly an opportunity to make progress," Raphael said.
Though improving school security and mental health might find bipartisan support, a potential ban on military-style assault weapons would not.
Ceasefire Oregon, a nonprofit group the seeks to reduce gun violence, has pushed for a ban on such weapons and has support from several Democratic legislators, including Sen. Ginny Burdick and Rep. Mitch Greenlick, both of Portland. The governor also appears to be on board.
"He really sees no reason for civilians to have assault weapons," Raphael said.
Burdick also plans to introduce legislation that would ban ammunition magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds. Greenlick, meanwhile, is sponsoring a bill to help schools pay for security enhancements.
"I believe in a well-regulated militia," Greenlick said. "But I don't believe every person has to have an assault rifle, or an atomic bomb or a tank or whatever."
The support of Greenlick and Burdick is not unexpected because both have long backed gun control. There is no indication, however, that pro-gun legislators are ready to switch positions.
Shortly after the Connecticut carnage, in which a gunman killed 20 children and seven adults, state Rep. Dennis Richardson, R-Central Point, emailed several school superintendents to say the death toll would have been lower if the gunman had been confronted with a weapon. Richardson said at least three officials in every school should be trained in the use of firearms.
Sen. Ted Ferrioli, of John Day, the top Senate Republican, said laws restricting certain firearms would affect law-abiding citizens and do nothing to deter criminals or madmen.
"Nothing makes sense if we're talking about someone who is deranged," he said. "You can't reach them with a deterrent and you can't reason with them."
To draw a parallel, Ferrioli said he believes some killers are motivated to shoot up public places because they want notoriety. Banning the media from releasing the names of mass killers might reduce violence, he said, but at the cost of First Amendment rights.
Ferrioli said lawmakers are under tremendous pressure "to do something" after a major event, but finding a fair, effective solution is easier said than done.
"There are a lot of forms of grieving, and one of them is to try to take some meaningful action," he said. "But I don't think anything I've heard suggested so far is meaningful."
Besides holding a two-seat advantage in the Senate, Democrats control the House 34-26. Even with those advantages, getting the votes for gun control will not be easy, Greenlick said.
"It's not an easy call for some of the legislators, particularly some of the new ones," he said. "They are, as I am, being bombarded by mail from all over the state, telling us that we're leaders of a fascist state trying to take away the guns of the citizens."
