The secret tapes that made Mel Gibson really famous in a bad way are about to become irrelevant.
Oksana Grigorieva's lawyer, Dan Horowitz, told the judge in the custody case this AM that he may not even introduce the racial and other tirades into evidence.
It's not shocking that Horowitz is backing off the tapes. A few weeks ago he told the judge Oksana would not be raising the domestic violence issue in the case.
The tapes could surface if Oksana files a civil lawsuit against Mel, but it's starting to look iffy at best that such a case would even be filed. Oksana's damages would be limited, even if she won, so it may not be financially worth the trouble.
Just saw the commercial for "The Beaver" Yesterday... man that's some seriously stupid sh*t. Good luck with that at the box office.
Interesting theory.....the "new girlfriend" surfaces and NOW OG's lawyer says they may not reference the tapes.....Me thinks someone (OG) is now backing off cuz of the Dani factor.
Is she trying to be Mrs Nice Girl?
i am so sick of her.
and them.. just let this story die.
she is a money hungary W,,AND A LIAR..
she is nothing.
Meoa!!.....I am from Northern Europe and this Skank isn't that different from Easter Europeans i see here. Always when these whores loose and get some cash which of course they are after, then they shut up and bring up lame excuses.
Oksana's lawyers are asking a judge to disqualify the actor's attorney on Thursday.
Her lawyers say Gibson's attorney met with Oksana Grigorieva back in 2008 and discussed representing her.
A Los Angeles judge agreed to temporarily halt the case so Grigorieva's attorneys can appeal a ruling allowing Gibson's attorneys to remain on the case.
Grigorieva asked to disqualify them because she had consulted with a partner of one of the actor-director's family law attorneys.
thought they already said the recordings wouldn't be used because reliability. what case was that on?
so what is this con of a woman up to. She wants to disqualify an attorney now. hmmmmmm
shoot she had to of talked to every lawyer in that town.
@ AZLEE - I have a feeling that MG has "threatened" to destroy her. A week ago she drops the DV issue and now DH is saying they may not intro the tapes........someone seems to be getting what's due.
I think she is just putting some different stuff in a trap. They didn't like cheese so she will use peanut butter. She did both of these things like she is being kind but the fact that she is trying to get an attorney removed from mel's side means that she is sneaking something in here.
and for which case is she going after this lawyer?
absolutely dimes, the damage is done and she thinks she can say ok, I'll make it all better? not gonna believe there is a good side of this woman when it comes to money.

unless it is filed with the Copyright Office, and *only* if it was stolen *after* the date of registration.
This is totally unnecessary. Copyright does NOT have to be registered. It is protected from the day it was created but you may need to prove that you did create it and when. Registering it with any authority or notary is one way but it's not the only method. For example if the Wayback Machine features your web site and it has a record of the web page in question you should be covered. Or if every now and then you published your web site to PDF and sent a copy to your solicitor or other notary you will be covered.
The same applies to all media... images, video, articles, poetry, etc.

Combining Ultracapacitors, Batteries Helps Auto Makers Meet CAFE Standards
US automotive manufacturers are continually striving to develop new fuel efficiency technologies and measures in order to adhere to domestic regulations that determine the amount of fuel automobiles can use. In the US, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards require that new passenger cars and light trucks achieve an average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon (MPG) by 2025, and beginning in 2014, this mandate will expand to heavy duty commercial trucks. In an effort to promote the widespread adoption of renewable fuels, advocates of fuel taxes suggest raising taxes on fossil fuels so that petroleum and cleaner fuels will be similarly priced. When the tax on petroleum goes up, drivers will begin to seek out alternate modes of transportation. Before automotive manufacturers can meet consumer demand for alternative transportation options, they must embrace cleaner, more efficient energy storage and power delivery systems.
Why manufacturers choose batteries
Auto manufacturers are under pressure to increase fuel efficiency to comply with these new standards and to sell vehicles that will appeal to cost-conscious and eco-conscious consumers. In order to do this, some automotive manufacturers choose to implement more efficient battery systems. Batteries are often used in electric and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) because they provide sustained power at a cheaper cost than gas. Although lead-acid and nickel-metal hydride batteries are more established battery technologies for hybrid and electric vehicles (EV), lithium-ion batteries are becoming an attractive option to automotive manufacturers. Despite their small package, lithium-ion batteries can provide sufficient power to an EV. Since lithium-ion batteries have high energy density but low weight, they can power an EV without hindering its performance by weighing it down. Overall, a lithium-ion battery system helps to make the vehicle lighter, which decreases the amount of energy needed to operate it and results in a more efficient car or truck.
The limitations of batteries
Even though batteries increase fleet efficiency, there are disadvantages to using battery technology. For example, batteries do not have a long lifespan or cycle life, which means users have to put out extra money to replace them. In extreme temperatures, battery performance falters, making battery technology an unreliable energy storage and power delivery option. However, vehicle owners can depend on batteries that are paired with ultracapacitors, which offer high-energy, high-power and efficiency even in extreme environmental conditions. Unlike batteries, ultracapacitors have a long lifespan, which makes them a low-maintenance power delivery and energy storage solution. When ultracapacitors are implemented in automotive applications, costs fall and energy efficiency goes up. During peak power demands, ultracapacitors deliver quick bursts of energy and then immediately store energy and capture excess power that would otherwise be lost. In addition to discharging and recharging quickly, ultracapacitors are also energy-source agnostic. Ultracapacitors are an efficient complement to key energy sources, and manufacturers should strive to achieve the optimal combination of energy storage and power delivery solutions, like batteries and ultracapacitors, in their applications.
How ultracapacitors improve battery performance
When ultracapacitors and batteries are paired together, the ultracapacitor helps the battery perform more efficiently, decreases fuel consumption and increases the hybrid-electric system's power density. A recent Argonne National Laboratory study concluded that combining an ultracapacitor with a lithium-ion battery system in EVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) decreases the wear on the battery. Since EVs and PHEVs require more of the available energy in the battery, they put more stress on batteries than other applications. If too much stress is placed on a battery, the wear can increase and diminish the lifespan of the battery, resulting in the need for an expensive replacement. By using ultracapacitors in parallel with lithium-ion battery systems, the ultracapacitor can absorb the power peaks, evening out the energy demand. As a result, the vehicle becomes more energy efficient and the lifespan of the batteries doubles.
Ultracapacitors deliver reliable power and energy storage
Ultracapacitors reliably complete a million or more charge-discharge cycles in all types of weather, without the need for replacement. A hybridized energy storage and power delivery solution comprised of ultracapacitors and batteries improves the performance of hybrid and electric vehicles by meeting the varying electrical power demands of acceleration, power steering, electrical systems, starter systems, start-stop and regenerative braking systems solutions. Ultracapacitors can absorb and store virtually all the kinetic energy from a braking system. When a vehicle is ready to accelerate, this energy is available and can reduce fuel consumption and related emissions. This regenerative braking technology takes stress off mechanical brakes, which limits the need for brake maintenance and replacement costs. In start-stop applications, ultracapacitors can also be paired with batteries to allow the engine to turn off at a red light or while in traffic. When the vehicle needs to accelerate, the ultracapacitors can deliver a quick burst of energy that restarts the motor.
As the government imposes stricter fuel efficiency regulations and consumers demand cleaner, more efficient vehicles, manufacturers must embrace new approaches. The need for a hybridized energy storage and power delivery solution is even more important as auto manufacturers strive to meet government standards and attract and keep customers. By combining ultracapacitors and batteries, manufacturers can improve fuel economy and reduce harmful emissions.
Brendan Andrews is the senior director of sales global at Maxwell Technologies. He is responsible for the domestic and international growth of the company, specifically in the US, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific.
One comment on "Combining Ultracapacitors, Batteries Helps Auto Makers Meet CAFE Standards"
Using Gigacapacitors would give the auto-makers a real advantage over UltraCapacitors, if they would do a holistic design. then they would have energy densities that exceed that of gasoline, and ultimately exceed gas/diesel vehicle ranges.

Getting optimum engine performance from your Kia Sorento won't take time once you learn the quick way-which is guaranteeing an ideal ratio of air-fuel mix. By making sure that you could mix these two essential elements properly, you're assured that the engine can run without problems. To achieve this, you have to first install your ride with an excellent Kia Sorento Oxygen Sensor.
Your Oxygen Sensor is a component that lets your car's ECU to figure out the ratio of the fuel and air within the engine. By knowing if the mixture is lean or rich, it could make the necessary adjustment by regulating the supply of gasoline to the combustion cylinders. Once it ceases to function properly, it will surely result to the engine's poor overall performance and even the degeneration of crucial components. An excellent replacement Kia Sorento sensor is guaranteed a suitable substitute as it's constructed with maximum toughness. This car maintenance is surely a cakewalk because the unit is outfitted as a direct stand-in to your stock component. Before carrying out its setup for your Kia Sorento, make sure that you've got all the necessary auto repair tools with you.
You can acquire that optimum engine performance by employing a first-rate Kia Sorento Oxygen Sensor that's made by reputable brands such as AC Delco, Walker Products, and Bosch. You'll find a huge collection of premium car devices plus accessories that are sold in low prices that you will not see elsewhere.

I primarily service ICOM communications equipment Old or New. I also service 1988 and newer Kenwood HF/VHF/UHF, when workloads permit (usually in the winter)
No pre-authorization is required, just a note with a description (a letter/note or the service form with the radio is very important, repairs will be delayed without it), and a contact method. Please be sure to include at least contact info with the radio. If the radio is received without information (it happens allot) it will delay the servicing of your radio. DO NOT SEND A MIC, MANUAL, Power Cord or Other Accy's with the radio. I don't have records/logs of phone or email conversations. (I just have too many each day), Here are optional Work request Form(s) in DOC format or PDF format You can right click on the desired link to "save link(target) as" also.
The current shop rate is $60/hr (no minimums) + Parts & shipping. No charge for "head Scratching" time. I still provide free estimates, just return shipping if declined.
I have a Updates and Questions page in the works. Follow this link ICOM Radio Updates & Help Page to get there. There is a update for the RAM Card Radio's.
AF to 1300Mhz, Base stations, mobiles, handhelds and repeaters.
I have been working on ICOM equipment since 1981. and worked for ICOM America for 10 years,(1981 & 1990)
and I can answer most questions on the older gear (Pre 1996), models after 1996 have allot of bells, whistles and sub menu's. Just send me a Email, responses are usually 24 hours or less.
Payments: When repairs are complete I will send a email with payment options. If you do not have email, I will send a letter. Paypal is accepted. You don't have to have a Paypal account, I can "Paypal" (email) you an invoice to pay with a card. I also cannot process Credit card info "in house". Please do not send any card info to me. I also will accept a check or MO. Checks do take 7 days to "positively" clear, before I can ship the radio.
For those wondering, Google is "retiring" Checkout and Wallet services. They are now only going with mobile apps..
Just so there is another option for those who do not have or like Paypal, I have a Amazon webpay account. send the funds per their system.
Shipping: I use UPS (daily pickup) for return shipping for bigger boxes (base stations) and prefer to use Priority Mail for smaller boxes (HT's & mobiles). I watch the costs. USPS insurance is very expensive, so more expensive units usually go UPS. All major services deliver here. If you want a different service for the return shipping, I can usually do that. I return factory boxes and will reuse your box if requested, if it is still serviceable. I insure boxes for replacement value, in case it gets lost.
The closest FedEx drop off point (return shipping) is 20 miles away. FedEx normally charges a $20 (one time) pick up fee. Due to the rural area I am in, there is also usually a 3~4 day wait for a pickup service.
I return with the radio a service work order, if via UPS, it is on the back side of the label on the outside of the box, if by Priority Mail, it normally will be in with the radio.
Eham Service reviews, My Thoughts.
I have decided to no longer service the ICOM 781 & R9000, Also Kenwood Tube Rigs, 830, 930, 940, 430 and all Yaesu equipment. There are several reasons for this, most revolve around shipping and parts availability.
Due to issues with shipping to Canada, and the high cost of the shipping, I am no longer accepting shipments from Canada for repair. I apologize to all my Canadian customers. I will accept Canadian Radio's, if we can return ship to a US zip code street address. (PO Boxes require USPS which can be very expensive)
I non-working, unrepairable equipment. (i.e. parts rig)
Shop turn time is about 7 weeks, sorry. As I understand it, ICOM has dropped all service support for some older models, I believe this is part of the reason why I have been so busy. I am making adjustments to hopefully get back on track. This is from when the radio arrives at the shop. (The turn time is an estimate, I operate on a first in, first worked on basis) I stamp the box with the date it was delivered. Because I don't open the boxes (other than if shipping damage is suspected) I don't know when an individual box may arrive, keep your tracking number. I can manually look for the box, it helps to know the shipping method and dated shipped on inquiries. Intermittent problem radio's, who knows, these radio's are temperamental.
Older gear, i.e. 701's, 211's, 245's and 720A's, TS440, will take longer due to the intermittent nature of their problems.

Hollywood hacker sentenced to 10 years in prison
Chaney previously pleaded guilty to counts that included wiretapping and unauthorized access to a computer.
Actress and singer Renee Olstead said in court Monday that she attempted to kill herself after Chaney leaked nude photos of her. She said she had never before considered suicide.
"I just really hope this doesn't happen to someone else," she said, crying. "You can lose everything because of the actions of a stranger."
Chaney looked up at her a few times as she spoke but kept his head low for most of Olstead's statement.
Chaney will be placed on three years of supervised probation when he is released and will have to notify officials of his online accounts. But the judge feared that wouldn't be enough and said he wished he could sentence Chaney to lifetime supervision.
The accounts of the cybervictims served as a cautionary tale for people — even major celebrities — who snap personal, sometimes revealing photos.
Aguilera said in a statement issued days before the sentencing that although she knows that she's often in the limelight, Chaney took from her some of the private moments she shares with friends.
"That feeling of security can never be given back and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy," Aguilera said.
Prosecutors said Chaney illegally accessed the email accounts of more than 50 people in the entertainment industry between November 2010 and October 2011. Aguilera, Mila Kunis and Johansson agreed to have their identities made public with the hope the move would provide awareness about online intrusion.
Some of Aguilera's photos appeared online after Chaney sent an email from the account of her stylist, Simone Harouche, to Aguilera asking the singer for scantily clad photographs, prosecutors said.

RAVN iOS App Aims for Real-Time Events Discovery
Much of what is driving the innovation we're seeing around the Bay Area these days is the convergence of three technology meta-trends -- social, local and mobile.
A perfect example is RAVN Events, an iOS app that launched earlier this month, which co-founder and CEO Jonathan Wu calls "the Pandora for event discovery."
15 Startups Poised to Make Waves in 2012
All over the Bay Area, particularly in San Francisco, thousands of startups are developing innovative products and services that collectively promise to transform the way we live our lives going forward.
San Francisco is "a Very zozi City," Says Founder of Adventure Startup zozi
S.F.-based zozi might be worth checking out the next time you want to challenge yourself by pushing the boundaries of your comfort zone.
The startup offers experiences like hang-gliding, mountain biking, or abalone diving. There are also more prosaic options, like tennis, golf or cooking lessons.
"We are the go-to place for high-quality experiences," says founder and CEO T.J. Sassani, whose inspiration for the company came when he encountered bull sharks while diving in Australia a few years back.
"At that moment, I suddenly realized there was nothing to fear – the sharks couldn't care less about me – and I decided to try and make these kinds of experiences easier for other people to have."

O.co Coliseum, Oakland, California
W: G. Gonzalez (9-6)
L: J. Pineiro (5-4)
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Conor Jackson fumbled through his locker and pulled out an unused baseball bat and ball, added his signature to both, then handed them over to Oakland Athletics' equipment manager Steve Vucinich.
That was a small price to pay for the veteran outfielder's first career grand slam, and Jackson was happy to oblige the fan who caught the historic hit."Obviously I'm not a 40-home run guy so those opportunities don't come too often," said Jackson, whose home run highlighted an eight-run first inning in Oakland's 9-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. "I'm going to savor it. It's exciting."It was a monumental day all around for the A's, who broke out of a season-long offensive slump and set an Oakland record while taking three of four from their division rivals.The nine runs matched the A's season high for scoring and marked only the fourth time this season they've had more than eight runs total.Nearly all of the damage came in the first inning when Oakland sent 14 batters to the plate and chased Angels starter Joel Pineiro (5-4) after just one-third of an inning. Seven of the runs came before an out was recorded, a first for the A's in their history at the Coliseum."Since I've been here that's the best at-bats, consistent at-bats throughout the inning (we've had)," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "We took our walks and made them work. Conor's home run was kind of the cherry on top."Hideki Matsui added a two-run single in the first and finished with three RBIs, while All-Star left-hander Gio Gonzalez (9-6) rebounded from his worst outing of the season and allowed four hits over seven innings to win for the third time in four starts.Oakland went into the game as the second-lowest scoring team in the American League and had only 51 home runs -- second-fewest in the majors -- before Jackson's home run landed midway up the stands in left field.It was Jackson's third homer of the season and the first grand slam by an A's player since Daric Barton had one against Seattle on Oct. 1, 2010.That it came against Pineiro, whom he was only 2 for 12 against previously, made it that much sweeter for Jackson."That's a rarity for that guy," Jackson said. "I've never seen him like that before. Usually he's had my number quite a bit. He has a plus-slider, he just couldn't find it today. I'm looking to be aggressive right there with a good pitch and I got one."Alberto Callaspo went 3 for 4 but the Angels, who went into the All-Star break trailing first-place Texas by one game in the AL West, didn't do much else and dropped four games back."We'll just turn the page on this one," Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said. "We don't need to spend much time dissecting this one. We need to get the pitching which will give us a chance to win, which we have been getting."Pineiro was in trouble early on Sunday.The Angels' right-hander never got comfortable and walked the first three batters he faced. Matsui's two-run single was Oakland's first hit of the inning, but Pineiro walked Scott Sizemore.With the infield drawn in, David DeJesus hit a sharp grounder to first base but Mark Trumbo's throw home was wide of the plate, allowing Josh Willingham to score. Jackson then homered on an 0-1 pitch to clear the bases.Pineiro, who hadn't lost since June 5, retired Kurt Suzuki on a groundout but gave up a double to Cliff Pennington and an RBI single to leadoff hitter Jemile Weeks to end his afternoon."It was weird, the ball was slipping out of my hand every time and on every pitch," Pineiro said. "I tried to do everything, look for sweat, dirt, rosin, maybe sneak one of our own balls out there. I tried everything."Oakland made it 9-0 in the third when Matsui drove in Weeks, marking only the second time this season the A's have had nine runs in a game.Gonzalez did the rest while helping Oakland take three of four from its division rival. The A's lone representative at the All-Star game, Gonzalez recorded his first six outs by strikeout and only allowed two runners to reach second base. He finished with eight strikeouts.Jerry Blevins relieved Gonzalez and gave up an unearned run in the ninth on Bobby Wilson's RBI single. That helped the Angels avoid what would have been their 11th shutout of the season."It's just fun to see the team have a little life in there," Gonzalez said. "We came out strong and right off the bat we went out there swinging the bat. To take three of four wasn't easy."Los Angeles had hoped to use the series with Oakland to build momentum for a critical three-game stretch at home against Texas beginning Tuesday.After losing to the A's for the eighth time in 13 games this season, however, the Angels face an uphill battle against the streaking Rangers.Game notes
Pineiro's one-third of an inning is his shortest as a starter. ... The Angels hadn't allowed eight runs or more in the first inning since Sept. 3, 2000. ... Matsui's three RBIs are a season high. ... Entertainer MC Hammer threw out the ceremonial first pitch and was honored with his own bobblehead doll. It was part of Oakland's '80s throwback day which included former pop star Taylor Dayne singing the national anthem.

Over the weekend, I spent a lot of time with my son's Scout troop. We left the house at 6p Friday and got home at about 6:30p last evening. We had a lot of fun... boys being boys... 10 mile hike in the John Bryan State Park... lots of time at the Air Force Museum... and then snoring form the back seat on the way home. Among the laughs and steps and meals together, I realized I have it pretty good. We had 4 leaders and 11 boys and we got along fairly well. Certainly the cabin we stayed in was primitive and sleeping on a wooden floor wasn't exactly like my bed at home, but we survived. I've got mud and dirt in places in my car that I'm not I'll ever be able to clean up, but it reminds me of the horsing around en route to the next stop. I also know that, if given the chance, these young men step up and help out on projects they should and even initiate others for assistance. In a world of negative news, I am encouraged.
I also reminded this morning of the fine co-workers I have. On a day when most people will be talking brackets, sports director Matt McCoy is there with insight and facts, stats and opinion on who got the good draws and who got screwed. Add to that fact, Matt is a good family man and a consistant performer at the radio station. He says yes when asked to step up and almost always delivers a great job, right down to the end. Morning news anchor Ken Stevens is as good as they get. Besides joining me every fifteen minutes or so on the air, he offers a solid sounding board for ideas and helps me when I'm unsure about which is a bigger, more pertinent story. I'm pretty sure my success would be less if it were not for these two men.
Despite the often changing nature of information from our nation's capital, this is still the greatest nation on earth. Rob Portman can change his stance on gay marriage, the president can keep pushing to spend money we don't have, and there can be the daily scandals form pretty much anywhere, but I still think I'd rather win here than anywhere else. I guess I believe in where we've been so much that I'm willing to cut the now and the future a little slack. So many great people have given their all to make sure the USofA survived... I just feel like if we needed to, we'd pull ourselves up by the bootstraps again and get 'er done. .
I know Monday's can be kind of tough on people, and I won't kid you, I'm pretty beat after the Scout campout weekend, but when I stop and think about it... overall, I'm in pretty good shape.

This bottle represents one of the finest agate bottles produced during the 18th and 19th centuries, displaying a rare combination of the grayish-lilac and orange tones within the stone. When discussed by Lilla Perry she described it as 'a marvel of imagination and ingenuity in the use of intrusive material'. The simplicity of the design and the strong contrast of the orange against the red and lilac tones mark this particular bottle out as a masterpiece of its kind.
Although rarer than darker colored cameos, pale beige or off-white relief was a standard alternative for Official School bottles throughout the Qing period. However, the use of the mustard-orange cameo on the present bottle is exceptionally rare. Further rare examples of relief-carved chalcedony with unusual color combinations include a brown, white and orange example from the J&J Collection, illustrated by H.Moss, V.Graham and K.B.Tsang,
The Art of the Chinese Snuff Bottle
, New York, 1993, Vol.I, p.233, no.143; and a honey-colored agate with beige and yellowish-cream relief design illustrated by M.C.Hughes,
The Chester Beatty Library, Dublin. Chinese Snuff Bottles
, Baltimore, 2009, pp.108-9, no.85.
The reddish-honey ground is a particularly rare feature for agate snuff bottles. Compare, however, a large bottle carved in relief through the brown skin to a similar colored ground, illustrated by J.G.Ford,
Chinese Snuff Bottles. The Edward Choate O'Dell Collection
, Baltimore, 1982, no.42.
It has been argued that there is some relationship between the styling and detailing of jade, glass overlay and cameo hardstone carvings, as at the Palace Workshops, carvers who worked with one material may have equally been called upon to work with others. The principal similarity being that both glass overlay and cameo hardstone employ a different color in relief for their main visual impact.
Birds in general were relatively easy to evoke from the natural markings of chalcedony, and are one of the most common subjects for the medium. However, this particular subject matter and depiction is rare and was no doubt dictated by the natural variation in color in the stone itself. A silhouette agate bottle in the Bloch collection, shows two birds, suggested to be either geese or ducks, with one similarly depicted pecking at something on the ground, see H.Moss, V.Graham and K.B.Tsang,
A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles. The Mary and George Bloch Collection
, Vol.2, Hong Kong, 1998, no.272.

More Commentary on Salary Data as a Measure of Value of Higher Education Institutions As the US Department of Education works on a very quick timeline to develop a new system for "rating" colleges and universities that receive federal student aid, education leaders continue to seriously question the inclusion of salary data as part of any ratings system. AAC&U is on record strongly opposing the use of salary data in any rating or ranking system of colleges and universities, noting that, far beyond the data so far proposed for inclusion, "The United States needs a far more searching exploration of 'value' than the administration has proposed." AAC&U has also noted that, "Using salary data in the proposed ratings system is bound to be misleading to students and, because of its complexity, a distraction from more basic questions of whether students are successfully completing college, transferring to other institutions, and managing the net costs of their enrollment. See a useful summary of responses provided by The Chronicle of Higher Education, AAC&U's statements on the proposed ratings system, and this helpful commentary by member President Thomas Kazee, president, University of Evansville. See also AAC&U's recent report on How Liberal Arts Majors Fare in Employment.
GEMs Project Launched at Washington, DC Meeting: Working Groups Convene to Map Next Generation General Education Pathways Three working groups and a newly formed Quality Assurance Group began charting a twenty-first century course for general education and its assessment at a meeting in Washington, DC on February 10-11, 2014. The Working and Quality Assurance Groups appointed by AAC&U are collaborating as part of an initiative called GEMs (General Education Maps and Markers) launched with initial funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. GEMs Working Groups include leading researchers and educators who will lay the groundwork for a cornerstone to capstone "remapping" of general education. In addition, a new Quality Assurance Group will provide guidance both to the GEMs initiative and to AAC&U's ongoing VALUE (Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education) family of projects. See the news release about the launch meeting for GEMs.
LEAP Presidents' Trust Member, Elaine Maimon, Receives ACE Award for Advancing Women in Education Elaine Maimon, president of Governors State University and a member of the LEAP Presidents' Trust, received the 2014 Donna Shavlik Award at the annual meeting of the American Council on Education (ACE). The award, named for the former director of ACE's Office of Women in Higher Education, honors an individual who demonstrates a sustained commitment to advancing women in higher education, through leadership and career development, campus climate, and mentoring. Maimon has worked with ACE on several different initiatives to promote women's advancement, and her work has done much to "expand access to higher education overall and advance the cause of women in higher education leadership in particular," said ACE President Molly Corbett Broad.

How Liberal Arts and Sciences Majors Fare in Employment: A Report on Earnings and Long-Term Career Paths
Students, parents, and policy makers interested in the "return on investment" of college education tend to place unwarranted emphasis on the choice of undergraduate major, often assuming that a major in a liberal arts field has a negative effect on employment prospects and earnings potential. This new report—which includes data on earnings, employment rates, graduate school earnings bumps, and commonly chosen professions—presents clear evidence to the contrary. It shows not only that the college degree remains a sound investment, especially in these difficult economic times, but also that—as compared to students who major in professional, preprofessional, or STEM fields—liberal arts majors fare very well in terms of both earnings and long-term career success.

Healthy living, herbal remedies and DIY natural beauty.
By Robyn Griggs Lawrence
Tags: DIY vase, how to make a vase from a can, Susan Wasinger, Natural Home & Garden, Robyn Griggs Lawrence
This simple project brings rustic beauty into your home and makes use of humble materials. Former Natural Home & Garden art director Susan Wasinger, who dreamed it up, says that a few thumb-thick branches will cover a surprising amount of square footage. She warns, however, that "once you start seeing the transformation, no plain surface may ever be safe again!"
Several small branches from trees or bushes, ranging from ½ to 1½ inches in diameterTerra cotta pots, old vases or recycled aluminum cansLow-VOC, nontoxic glue such as RooWood GlueCoarse sandpaper
Lopping shears or long-handled pruners
1. Using shears, cut branches into slices about ½-inch thick. You will need slices in a variety of diameters to cover the surface completely.
2. If you are using an aluminum can, rough up the surface with sandpaper so the wood will stick.
3. Start at the bottom of the pot or can and work your way up. Dab glue on both the wood slice and the pot's surface to ensure a good bond.
4. Always dry-fit each piece in place first to ensure that it will fit nicely with the other pieces. Fit tiny slices into small, awkward spaces.

Absolute value for money and great service and communication throughout
The moment Matt turned up on my doorstep I knew I was in safe hands. Courteous and conscientious throughout I was always put at ease. Even when it turned out that I needed new valves before the tyres could be fitted, that needed to be ordered specially, there was no extra charge for the second call out and the job was done within an hour. Fantastic service and I would definitely use them again!

Firstly I'd like to say congratulations on landing your role in Transformers 4! Can you tell us much about the character you play in the film?
My character is Joshua's senior executive assistant. The very talented and gracious Stanley Tucci plays Joshua. On set director Michael Bay referred to my character as the "Grande Dame", I got a kick out of that!
What was it like for you, becoming a part of such a well-known, and well-loved franchise?
It was like a dream come true! Who wouldn't want to be part of such a huge and exciting franchise?! As a child, I always watched the Transformers cartoons never suspecting that one day, I would be part of the Transformers movies.
What was the experience like working on set, and how was it working with Michael Bay?
The on set experience was as thrilling as it was educational. Being part of a production of this caliber provided me with additional insight to the "sky is the limit" thinking that big production budgets provide. It was also fascinating to observe that filming was being done by both regular and 3D cameras simultaneously.
Working with Michael Bay was challenging in the most favorable light. He is very creatively spontaneous and can change what he wants you to do in a heartbeat. Flexibility is key! I am grateful for the opportunity to have been directed by him.
So your character is the senior executive to Stanley Tucci's Joshua, did you work closely with him during filming?
The majority of my scenes were with Stanley, so yes I did get to work closely with him, which provided me the opportunity to observe and learn from his on set presence and performance. He was very personable, gracious and helpful. A real class act!
Now I'm sure audiences would to know more about you, not just as an actress, but as Melanie Specht – so how did you originally discover acting as a career?
Actually I was acting long before I became acquainted with it as a career. My first experience occurred when I was 4 years old and I accompanied my mom to my older sisters performance in Snow White. I hadn't been given a part in the play and I didn't like being left out. So right at the beginning of the performance on opening night I rushed up onto the stage and jumped into the narrators lap just as the curtain opened. I was determined to be a part of the show!
You've got a huge year coming up, and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of you, has it been a stressful time, or are you feeling confident?
I'm feeling very confident and excited about the endless possibilities each new day brings!
Do you have any upcoming projects you'd like to mention?
I am working on a few great projects that I can't talk about right now but I know they will be very exciting when announced!
Do you have any major goals as an actress? Things you'd like to accomplish or see change within the film and television industry?
My goals are to not only provide deeply moving and realistic performances, but to also become an accomplished actress in both dramatic and comedic mediums, so I am not limited in the choices of roles I wish to play. I'm continually striving to be a very versatile performer. My heart lies equally in both genres.
The main thing I would like to accomplish is to continue honing my artistic skills and to be a positive role model.
What part of America are you from?
I was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in Northern Virginia
Did you grow up within the film and television industry?
I'm actually the first person in my family to work in this industry!
Are there certain genre's you're particularly a fan of or find your strengths in?
I am a huge fan of both drama and comedy and I especially love sketch comedy where I can play unusual and colorful characters!
My strengths lie in all of those areas.
Could you name a few of your favourite films and TV shows?
TV: I Love Lucy, Golden Girls, Modern Family, Saturday Night Live, Law and Order: SVU, Scandal to name a few Films: Pretty Woman, City of God, Scarface, The Godfather, There's Something About Mary, any period piece, A Bronx Tale, The 40 Year Old Version, A Christmas Story, The Notebook…
Finally as well have you faced any major obstacles or challenges as you've started getting more recognition for your work and talents?
No, not so far!
On that note do you have any talents aside from acting?
I love to ask people questions and have been told I would make an excellent interviewer! Also, I grew up dancing and riding horses! In addition to that I believe I was born with a "flirt" gene because I harmlessly flirt with everyone including senior citizens, children and puppies! Not sure why, but I have done so all my life.
Did you receive formal acting training?
Yes I have and continue to study with many great acting coaches.

How was it for the actor, best known for his roles on The Good Wife and Argo, stepping into the huge Transformers summer movie franchise? "I've now won the hard earned respect of my children because I'm in a Transformers film, and I've always wanted to work with Michael Bay and certainly Mark Wahlberg and Kelsey Grammer." And what can fans look forward to in this installment? "It's a bit more of a darker vision of the Transformers world… It's not a kids movie, I'll tell you that much."

Spinning off that question, because I don't think my readers will forgive me if I don't ask this, Swerve, Cosmos, Tailgate, Skrapnel - we're getting that right? My understanding is that they were underordered originally but more are being made...
JJ: They were underordered, we're going to make sure there are more releases. We've already informed our U.S. Sales team about that. As we do more orders, we'll make sure the waves that come out...that the mix within the case pack will include those characters along with the new characters in the waves three and four so that all those characters get out there in a healthy supply.

What a great idea for get togethers or to bring to a friends house. I need to order some higher end chocolate for this recipe. Thanks so much.
