All fired up: Farmington magician gives back to community after cancer scare
Friday, December 14, 2012
FARMINGTON — Lifelong magician James Locke says, to truly play the role, you have to "always be amazed with life."
"Magicians … are like a comedians who ad-lib. Performers play off (the audience)," Locke said. "A good magician does the same thing. They don't just go up there, buy the magic trick and do it by the directions. You basically have to kind of build the prop around your personality."
After surviving a surgery to remove a rare form of cancer almost eight weeks ago, Locke said he now wants to give something back to the community. He is preparing to present the town of Middleton with a plan for a small local theater performance at the town hall on Kings Highway. The project is tentatively called "the Middleton Magic Theater."
"I've been thinking about doing this for probably 10 years now," he said, noting the project would be a nonprofit endeavor, with a family-friendly show for all to see.
Locke said he hopes the Middleton show could capture the spirit of some of the older circus performances he used to play out, as well as the nightclub acts he pulled together while traveling the world as U.S. Army soldier in "special ops" during the Vietnam War. He performed in Japan, Greece and Germany, and also owned and operated the American All Stars Circus for approximately 20 years following his early retirement from the service.
"It would be a different town everyday," he said, with Beth chiming in, "I don't think I could handle that."

Raspberry Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake
|Kristen J. Gough
9 oz. chocolate wafers
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate (chips are fine)
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup raspberry jam
2 packages cream cheese (make sure the cheese is at room temperature)
3/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
In a food processor, grind up the chocolate wafers (I also add just a touch of salt). I use Pepperidge Farms chocolate goldfish as the base for my crust – they're not overly sweet like Oreos with cream filling. Add the melted butter to the crushed cookies. Here's the tricky part. You'll need a 9-inch springform pan. Surround the outside of the pan with aluminum foil (I'll explain more on this later.) Cut a round piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom part of the pan. Spray the pan with cooking spray then insert the paper and spray again. Press the cookie crumbs into the pan and half way up the sides with your fingers (I've tried this with spoons, but frankly, fingers are best). Put the crust into the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Preheat the over to 325 degrees. In a large, glass measuring bowl, melt the chocolate and the heavy cream together in the microwave. Melt the two slowly (I usually start at half the power level for around two minutes). When the chips start to lose their shape, finish the melting process by stirring vigorously. Add the jam to the chocolate mixture, stir and let it cool about 10 minutes.
In another large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and the sugar. It's key to have the cream cheese at room temperature (eggs, too!). Beat the sugar and cream cheese for at least 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Now, add the vanilla and the chocolate-raspberry mixture. Beat all together for at least five minutes (set a timer).
Here's another tricky part: creating a water bath for your cheesecake. This keeps your cheesecake dense and smooth instead of dry. You'll need a large, glass baking dish. I wish I had a larger one, but my biggest is 9-by-11 inches, so I have to improvise. (I also add a larger cookie-baking pan under the casserole dish to make it easier to get it into and out of the oven.) I make several aluminum balls and place them in the center of the baking dish. Next, gently press the springform pan into the casserole dish. Pour the cheesecake filling into the crust, making sure that your aluminum balls stay in place and keep your pan level. Add about a half inch of water to the bottom of the casserole dish (not into your cheesecake!). Carefully put the whole contraption into the preheated oven.
Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the cheesecake just jiggles in the center. Once it's set, turn off the oven and leave the door open. Wait one hour and then remove. Carefully pull it out of the water bath. Gently release the springform mechanism, but don't remove it. Use a butter knife to separate the crust from the pan (this will ensure that the top doesn't crack). Put your cheesecake into the fridge for at least one day before serving.
If you're taking this dessert to a party, cut it at home in thin slices - there's nothing worse than your cheesecake getting hacked to pieces in the rush to serve dessert. If I'm serving the cheesecake at home, I put one slice on the plate, add a dollop of fresh whipped cream and sprinkle with cocoa. If you have fresh raspberries or mangos, add a few of those, too.

This is the shocking tale of crimes against humanity that went unpunished because of a secret agreement between the U.S. and Japan.
Japan's 1931 takeover of the Chinese province of Manchuria was the first step on what they hoped was the road to world domination. But to achieve that goal, the Imperial Government knew that they would have to build a huge arsenal of bio-chemical weapons.
In a top secret research facility called Unit 731, Japanese doctor Shiro Ishii and his staff conducted diabolical weapons research that claimed the lives of untold thousands--perhaps even hundreds of thousands--of Chinese civilians. Unlike his equals in the Nazi death camps, his deeds were not exposed and no one was ever punished for the atrocities committed at unit 731 and other similar camps, because the documents recording their grim findings were secretly sold to the United States in exchange for amnesty. UNIT 731: NIGHTMARE IN MANCHURIA details these crimes against humanity, revealing never-before-told tales and secret documents that condemn two governments for their complicity in keeping this story silent for so long.
One of the most shocking and troubling tales of WWII is finally told, and the repercussions may be felt for a long time.

Review: 2009 MTM Audi A3 Sportback is a singular sport (with) utility
by Chris Paukert (RSS feed) on Dec 21st, 2009 at 11:57AM
In the automotive world, price is increasingly a function of degrees. How's that? Dial in a faster windscreen angle, aggressively rake the rear glass and – voilà! – you've just padded your margins to the tune of a few thousand bucks. Take a plain-jane sedan, hire some stylists to turn it into a "four-door coupe" with a racy greenhouse, and you can use the same mechanicals and still charge a mint. The same goes for crossovers – just steepen the backlight and you're in the ducats. Not convinced? See the Mercedes-Benz CLS and BMW X6 for field notes. MTM is planning... Read More

Uncover hidden artifacts, ancient documents and a valuble journal which together hold the key to mysterious disappearances and hauntings dating back centuries.
Written by
Ray Ivey
June 29, 2012
Developed by
XXv Productions
Published by
The Adventure Company
Release Date: August 1, 2003Platform: PCNote: Originally published in 2003A frantic late-night phone message from your brother. A creepy location rife with ghosts. An old and deadly mystery that must be solved. Hey, what's not to like?Dark Fall is a garage game and a haunted house game and a first-person game, and as I'm a fan of all three you'd think this was an adventure game tailor-made for me.
It's not that the setup is particularly original. In fact, the beginning of the game is virtually identical to that in Amber: Journeys Beyond, Inherent Evil: The Haunted Hotel and Realms of the Haunting. But who cares? A scary haunted hotel is a scary haunted hotel.It seems your brother is part of a team of ghost hunters. He's hit a snag and needs your help. And so off you go . . . after all, he IS your brother, right?From the very beginning Dark Fall creates a chilly, spooky atmosphere. It takes place in a closed hotel that served a now-defunct rail station. The whole idea of a "ghost" station is a delicious one, and it provides a perfect setting for what follows.Jonathan Boakes, the man behind XXv Productions and the creator of the game, is an obvious fan of classic first-person point-and-click adventures. He has meticulously crafted the elements of Dark Fall in a way that does homage to everything from The 7th Guest to Myst to the above-mentioned Amber.As you explore the hotel, you begin to get to know the various inhabitants, both guests and staff. It seems that a couple of members of the hotel owners' family made a curious discovery underneath the hotel, and you begin to understand that they unwittingly unleashed a very dark presence.
As in Amber, the previous team of ghost-busters left lots of interesting equipment behind. As you progress through the game, you'll learn how to use this equipment and access information through it. It also records some very creepy stuff!As in most adventures of this type, the game environment gradually expands as you gain access to new areas. However, the initial explorable area in the game is quite generous. But there are those locked rooms . . . and the more you play, the more you'll have to know what's . . . behind . . . those . . . doors! In fact, the unity of the game's environment allowsDark Fall to achieve the seemingly contradictory effect of a) having lots of spaces to explore and b) being troublingly claustrophobic. You know you're not leaving this place until you get to the bottom of the mystery.Let me say right here that this is not a game for the casual adventurer. The abandoned hotel and train station have many dark secrets but they are not given up easily. This game has very little to do with the anemic recent first-person adventures like The Mystery of the Nautilus and The Cameron Files. Dark Fall requires to you pay close attention, read, make careful observations, and use your imagination to connect the dots.The game is full of scary moments, though many of them are reserved for the careful observer. There's a beautiful moment when a ghost train whizzes by, its lights illuminating the shades of the window you're looking at. Then there's the shadow that's briefly revealed by a flickering light in a bathroom . . . a very elegant and truly scary effect. And there's an optional interactive Ouija board sequence that is simply hair-raising.
Dark Fall has lots of puzzles in various forms. There are many combinations, passwords, and other "keys" that must be ascertained by massaging the various bits of information you uncover while poking around the hotel. Plus there are the actual keys to locked doors that you must find. Plus jigsaws, inventory puzzles, and more. It will come as a relief to some gamers that there are no sliders or mazes, however.I have but one criticism of the game, though it's a fairly serious one. The story contains so much information, both text and visual elements, that it's a real shame that you can't collect all of it in some kind of notebook or journal. Most of the letters, bills, charts, and other sources of clues cannot be placed into inventory. This forces the player to do one of three things: Create multiple saves to use to access the information later, take copious notes, or do an enormous amount of backtracking. Since none of these choices exactly enhances gameplay, it's a drag in an otherwise sterling game experience.And let me be very clear. If I haven't adequately made the point yet, this is one scary-ass game. Turn the lights out. Turn the volume up. And prepare to enjoy getting the willies scared out of you!
It seems to me that Mr. Boakes set out to make an adventure game like one he'd like to play himself. And by careful attention to detail, excellent craftsmanship and good writing, he's managed to create a game that we want to play, too. He proves, as good garage games do, that it doesn't take big bucks to make a good adventure game. It just takes little things like artistry, creativity and diligence. Dark Fall is the best independent adventure game since Cracking the Conspiracy. Go buy it immediately - we want this guy to be at work on his next game already.Final Grade: ASystem Requirements: Pentium 233 minimum or equivalent 32Mb Ram (64 recommended) 24 x CD ROM (or PC DVD) SVGA capable graphics adapter 32 bit color at 640x480 Mouse Keyboard Speakers

I'm trying to plan out my ideal list of upgrades; however, the upgrade list I've come up with would only give me 100 hit rating (from Ikfirus's Sack of Wonder). What I'm wondering is this: Will having such low hit be detrimental to my threat? In other words, will I have trouble tanking bosses and adds that need to be picked up and killed ASAP?

I would say definitely yes. Every time you miss, you lose threat, the ability to proc your damage shield, and what'll probably happen to you is that your DPS will overtake you in DPS and eat boss strikes until they die.
IMHO, you should try and keep your hit rating at the cap, even if it means you have to use less than optimum items. Your goal as the tank is to keep the boss from spreading the love to the DPS.
I'm actually eyeing the same problem with some consternation; picking up the T10 pants this morning was an easy decision, since I didn't lose any hit and gained expertise. However, the second piece of T10 (for that tasty 2 set bonus) is a tougher sell: if I pick up the chest and Ikifuss' Sack of Wonder drops, I just wasted 95 badges (ow). If I pick up the shoulders, it's only a minor upgrade. (101->109 stam). The head and gloves are the biggest upgrade stamwise and agilitywise (in the double digits), but they're 90 and 59 hit, respectively. I've gemmed my new pants temporarily with a hit gem recognizing that possibility, but it looks like the sanest thing to do is pick up the shoulders first, even though my primary problem is being smacked down by Festergut. But hey, I have 5% more health for today, right? :P
I have to admit, too, that I miss my two set T9 bonus (as loot luck would have it, I had replaced my other armor pieces so my T9 was gloves/pants). Tempted to pick up a T9-chest, while I'm waiting in line for the Sack to drop (I have three rogues and probably at least one of the hunters in line in front of me. :P), but it's a downgrade just for a 2 second taunt bonus. In -theory-, with the expertise, I should be able to keep threat, especially if I pick up the shoulders, right?
(edited to add): Best thing for you to see this for yourself is to go down to the old target dummy, de-equip enough items to put you at 100 hit rating, and go to town. Run a meter (I recommend Skada) and after about 5 minutes, check your Miss+Dodge+Parry to hit ratio. Thanks to the folks on these forums, I've been doing my best to keep not just Miss off my attack table, but also Dodge (expertise soft cap) and Parry is next.

"most" of ICC/25. Interesting choice of words there, big guy.
You'll want to be sure to be hitting the Heroic training dummy, of course -- that is a level 83 mob, which is where the 8% hit (5 normal + 3 for level 3+ over yours) cap comes from. At your 155 hit rating, I think that's 4.72% hit, which if you have a Shadow Priest in your party (+1% hit) brings you up to 5% (always drop fractions) is why you're not noticing it on trash. The good thing about your proposed upgrades is that you have plenty of expertise rating, which knocks all the dodge off of your hit table, and some of your parry, but that 2%+3%=5% miss chance is pretty significant. I say this from the perspective of being hit capped and not being expertise capped, which was letting the nasties dodge and parry 6% of my attacks, where the rogues, paladins, and shammys were landing their attacks from behind and peeling things off of me.
As far as gemming goes, you can, in fact, gem and enchant for hit if needed -- but try and itemize for it first, IMHO. You can probably go for 10 hit / 15 stam gems and not get too hurt on EH, with all 30 stam gems you can afford to lose some to get your hit cap in line.
(edited to add
two green gems: 10 hit, 15 stam x2 = 20 hit, 30 stam
one yellow hit, one blue stam: 20 hit, 30 stam
...in other words, for an even number of slots, they're equal. Replacing an odd number of gem slots gives you the choice of half stam (green) or no stam (yellow) for more hit, You're not trying to go for your socket bonuses, so it's really just minmaxing your sockets 'til you get back to the cap.

You can probably get away with 1% miss -- just remember that a lack of hit rating translates into a chance to have your taunts resisted/missed too, which on something like Festergut's 9 stack tank switch is going to cost you bigtime, which is part of why I say that 5% miss is less than ideal.
Good luck!
I'd also be interested in hearing other people's input on the issue and their solutions if they believe hit rating plays a significant factor in tanking.
If you're concerned with Taunt resists then Glyph of Growl is the way to go. Taunts work off spell hit (17% to cap) and a glyph that adds 8% chance to Taunt's hit is much better than tossing in hit gems, and it doesn't cost you health or avoidance to use.
If you're raiding 25mans you more than likely get 3% Spell Hit from Shadow Priest's http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=33193 and with the glyph you'll be at 11% Spell Hit combined, before any +Hit from gear is factored in. +Hit adds slightly more Spell Hit than it does Physical Hit, so check your character sheet to determine how much you really need.
You should be fine on threat without being at 8% hit, liberal use of Maul and a proper rotation will make more of a difference than regemming.
[Edit] For reference, I've ran with 3-4% Physical Hit on my druid and had no problems keeping aggro.
Jalousie: Two ovaries walk into a bar.
"Hey, can we get some cervix over here?"
No, you shouldn't have particular trouble because of that low hit.I'm trying to plan out my ideal list of upgrades; however, the upgrade list I've come up with would only give me 100 hit rating (from Ikfirus's Sack of Wonder). What I'm wondering is this: Will having such low hit be detrimental to my threat? In other words, will I have trouble tanking bosses and adds that need to be picked up and killed ASAP?
If you must have hit for growl, put on a DPS ring or something of that nature.
And yes, you'd have a .09% chance to have a taunt miss.
Really, while threat is good it's not the be all-end all of existence, and between ToT and MD most 25-man raiders never worry about it. I'd recommend not worrying about it either until you get to a point in which it might matter.
Yeah, I assumed you had the Glyph of Growl in there to add to your taunt hits.
I think this is a 'YMMV' situation -- our guild doesn't have a lot of Shadow Priests (we have two, neither of which are regulars), and the bulk of our DPS raiders are melee heavy -- Paladins (mostly Human), Night Elf and Human Rogues, and two Fury Warriors. All of which get up close and personal and are aggro hogs. Our tanks (all three of them, myself included) are having issues keeping aggro off of them, because they're all competing to break 10K DPS, and our already overpowered Fury Warrior managed to get a hold of Shadow's Edge the other day, so with him and our 10.3K DPS Hunter, we've got three people who regularly need saving via taunts. :| And our hunters and rogues don't usually bother with MD or ToT unless 'we look like we need it', because it 'hurts their DPS' (in comparison with their peers for top gun slot).
While tanking Festergut, the other tank leads off, and I can't keep up aggro (sitting squarely in fourth), so when the transition happens, I have to be sure my taunt will land. Otherwise our main tank gets his tenth stack of the debuff and explodes. :P So in my case, I need all the Hit I can keep to be near or at the hit cap.

'One Woman s Journey' begins at center
By DAVID LAURELL
September 12, 2007
As the clock's hands inched closer to 7 p.m. on Friday evening, photographer Cynthia Alarcon's eyes darted around the Burbank Creative Arts Center giving everything a final visual nod of approval. In just moments the doors of the gallery would open to unveil her "One Woman's Journey" exhibit that photographically documents her travels and experiences over the past two decades. The reception, staged to celebrate the opening of Alarcon's retrospective, was not just a beginning, but also a culmination of a 20-year journey and a yearlong period of reflection.
Magnante's career up in the air after move by A's
August 3, 2002
Finding a quality left-handed relief pitcher is a rare commodity in major league baseball these days. Thus, former Burroughs High baseball star Mike Magnante has enjoyed success and a fine career as a pitcher for 10 years with four major-league clubs. Late Tuesday, Magnante, 37, was designated for assignment by the Oakland Athletics, just days before he was due to be eligible to receive his major-league pension. Players must have at least 10 years of major-league service to earn a pension.
Love was all around at Tennis Ball
October 16, 2004
Joyce Rudolph The competition was stiff during the first Tennis Ball dinner dance. But no one was near a court. Instead, a superb array of silent auction gifts kept guests running back and forth to the bidding sheets during the fundraiser for the Family Service Agency, now known as Families First in Burbank. City Manager Mary Alvord was mistress of ceremonies and welcomed the more than 200 guests to the Oct. 8 event at The Castaway. A steak-and-salmon dinner was served and dance music was provided by the band Orange Colored Sky. Mayor Marsha Ramos presented Kermit Floyd, president of the board of directors, with a Mayor's Commendation for his financial guidance of the agency.
Letter -- Darin Ryburn
August 11, 2001
In response to the three articles in the Leader regarding the shooting of a dog by Officer Anthony Valento, it is unfortunate that the Leader must resort to innuendo-laden articles to sell newspapers. While the shooting of the animal was, indeed, unfortunate, the portrayal of the animal as a friendly family pet and "hero" belies the fact the animal exited the owner's house and bolted across the front lawn onto the sidewalk, mere feet from where Officer Valento was standing on the parkway.
This etcher is wild at art
By Joyce Rudolph
June 7, 2006
Rudy Droguett has risked his life for the love of his art. The artist, who is in his 70s, has traveled to Africa twice to take pictures of wild animals, which he later uses as subjects in his scratchboard etchings. He's come close to losing his life, he said. During one trip to Kenya, the vehicle he was riding in had a flat tire. There was a lion lying under a tree nearby watching the entourage. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Droguett got out of the vehicle to take a picture.
Fight in store allegedly leads to stabbing
December 25, 2004
Mark R. Madler Four men are scheduled to appear in court Monday in connection with a stabbing of a Glendale man. Officers responding to a fight in a convenience store parking lot late Tuesday night at Glenoaks Boulevard and Naomi Street found a blood trail at the scene leading them to believe someone had been injured, said Burbank Police spokesman Sgt. Jay Jette. A 25-year-old Glendale man was taken to an area hospital with three stab wounds that were described as non-life threatening, Jette said, adding that the man has been interviewed by detectives.
Murphy left with 'empty feeling' following decision
December 14, 2002
BURROUGHS HIGH -- Coach Linda Murphy has been a girls' volleyball institution at Burroughs High for 18 years. However, the former Olympic player and respected coach will not be back for her 19th season as the Indians' mentor, as the school has decided to replace Murphy. Murphy said she was shocked when she was informed she would no longer be running the Burroughs program. Preferring not to talk about the situation and reluctant to address the decision by the school's administration, Murphy instead relayed her feelings in a fax on Friday.
Burbank police shoot window, arrest suspect
By Christopher Cadelago
March 30, 2010
UNIVERSAL CITY - A 30-year-old man wanted on attempted murder charges in Indiana led police on a multi-county pursuit that ended shortly after Burbank police officers opened fire in a busy intersection, shattering the driver's side window, later striking the man and sending him to a local hospital, authorities said. Beginning near the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino County, Steven S. Satterly led California Highway Patrol officers on a high-speed chase on the westbound Foothill (210)
Police will run DUI checkpoint this weekend
By Alene Tchekmedyian,
December 10, 2013
Burbank police will hold a sobriety checkpoint Saturday night at an undisclosed location, authorities said. From 7 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday, police will be screening motorists at a Burbank intersection looking for signs of intoxication. The effort is funded by a $32,400 grant awarded to the department by the California Office of Traffic Safety in October in an effort to prevent deaths and injuries on city roadways, said Burbank Police Sgt. Darin Ryburn in a statement. Year-to-date in Burbank, there have been 522 DUI arrests, up from 386 arrests during the same period last year, said Burbank Police Lt. Jay Hawver.
Whole Foods, apartment development could mean silence at Burbank's Dimples
By Daniel Siegal,
August 27, 2013
If a proposed Whole Foods Market and apartment complex in Burbank are built, local karaoke institution Dimples may be taking its show on the road. Amanda Landry, the city planner assigned to the project, said that the "Talaria at Burbank" project, which includes 241 apartments as well as a Whole Foods market, would take up the entire 3.8-acre site, including 3413 Olive Ave., the location of Dimples. If the project gets the green light, Dimples will be demolished. Landry said the developer, the Cusumano Group, already owns all of the properties on the site.
Teacher surrenders to police
By Max Zimbert
March 10, 2010
A Burbank Unified School District teacher turned herself in Monday for having sex with a 14-year-old student from March to September last year, police said. Amy Beck, 33, a sixth-grade teacher at Jordan Middle School, surrendered Monday afternoon to Burbank police with her lawyer, and was being held on $400,000 bail, Burbank Police Sgt. Robert Quesada said. "We're still trying to piece everything together, what happened, where, what kind of sex acts, how many, and how long it's been going on," he said.

February 15, 2013
Marcus LoVett Jr., one of the most highly touted sophomore boys' basketball players in the country , has left Providence High, head of school Joe Sciuto said Friday in a statement. Earlier this month, LoVett, the reigning All-Area Boys' Basketball Player of the Year and Burbank Leader Male Athlete of the Year, left the team and didn't compete for the Pioneers in Wednesday's 72-66 loss to Lancaster Desert Christian in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division V-AA playoffs.
Burbank to skate into holidays with temporary ice-skating rink
By Alene Tchekmedyian,
October 15, 2013
Winter lovers, rejoice. The Burbank City Council signed off on plans to bring a temporary ice-skating rink to downtown Burbank through the holiday season, hailing the project as a "fresh idea" that will draw consumers to local businesses. For six weeks, from Nov. 22 to Jan. 5, the parking lot behind City Hall will be transformed into a skating rink, which will be fully funded - to the tune of $170,000 - by the downtown Burbank property-based Business Improvement District.

A real-live pig named Willie greets customers as they enter Saratoga Sweets in Halfmoon. But as our Beth Croughan found out, you'll see a more famous pig when you go inside the store.
HALFMOON, N.Y. -- It was more than 20 years ago when Mike Fitzgerald opened Saratoga Sweets. Then, his shop on Caroline Street sold a small number of handmade chocolates.
"I fancied myself becoming a choclatier," he said.
But these days, Fitzgerald goes by a different title. "I never thought I'd become the Pig Man. But I'm darn glad I am," he said.
"Pig Man" because his shop has become the place to purchase "Peppermint Pigs."
"The pig is passed around usually after Christmas dinner or a Christmas gathering. And everybody breaks the pig and has a piece of pig for good luck for the coming year," Fitzgerald explained.
They were a Saratoga tradition, started in the late 1800s, but died out about 50 years later. And Fitzgerald, at the request of the area-historical society, brought them back to life.
"That first Christmas we made about 60 pigs and now we're up to about 130,000," Fitzgerald said.
Staff make 1,000 pigs each day inside what's nicknamed the "Pig Pen." They're hard at work from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. "Orders fly just like the pigs do starting around September. But we're very, very busy right now," he said.
But being busy in a business that can bring a smile to millions Fitzgerald said is one of the best things there is. "Then next to Santa Claus, I'm the happiest guy at Christmas," said Fitzgerald.

(CNN) -- Debate all you want about a white guy from Minnesota using a fake Jamaican accent to capture the "Get Happy" spirit of Jamaica in Volkswagen's Super Bowl 2013 advertisement.
While debates about racism abound (see this debate on CNN), the Jamaica Tourism Board seems thrilled with the attention.
In response to the ad, Jamaica's tourism officials put together a "Get Happy in Jamaica" package for visitors to enjoy savings on travel April 1 through June 30.
Jamaican musician Jimmy Cliff, whose recording of "Come On, Get Happy" serves as background music, asked people to focus on the song's message via his Facebook page.
"I chose to record the song that's part of the Volkswagen Super Bowl campaign because it has a great message and it is something that people can apply to everyday life," Cliff wrote.
"I have personally seen the positive effects of Reggae music and Jamaican culture. I am a proud Jamaican and stand by this campaign, I feel like people need to focus on peace and unity. Blessed Love!"
The Jamaica Tourism Board deal offers a free hotel night at 20 participating hotels, contingent on the purchase of three to five nights. Book by March 15 at Visit Jamaica, click on the "Get Happy in Jamaica" link and use the code GET HAPPY. Seasonal surcharges and blackout dates may apply.

Here's how the humble K-car started an automotive revolution.
When Lee Iacocca took over the Chrysler corporation it was bankrupt and on the brink of collapse. Its dramatic turnaround, spurred by innovation and bold risks, was completed with the recent merger with Daimler Mercedes. But without one vehicle, Chrysler might well have gone the way of Studebaker, Cord, and AMC.
CHRYSLER MINIVAN tells the story of how a stricken company invented a whole new class of vehicle, revolutionizing American family transportation and putting itself firmly on the road to recovery. Hear from company insiders about how the humble K-car was transformed into the ultimate family vehicle, and trace the development of the minivan over the years. From relatively sparse beginnings, Chrysler's family hauler has become a slick, smooth ride that combines the best features of cars and vans in an appealing package that continues to sell briskly after more than a decade on the market.
Footage from the test track and the highway, along with interviews with industry experts, make this the definitive look at one of the most uniquely American vehicles ever created.

NFC Times Exclusive: Whereas three years ago, major banks and telcos in the Netherlands looked like they would move forward together on NFC mobile payments, with plans to form a first-of-its kind joint venture, the situation today promises to be much different.
The three major banks in the Netherlands, ING, ABN AMRO and Rabobank, have formed a temporary group to launch a large NFC trial in the Dutch city of Leiden with mobile operator KPN.
PARIS, France – MasterCard Worldwide and ING bank have launched a trial in the Netherlands enabling bank staffers to shop on the Web and then make online payments with a PayPass application stored on a secure element in their NFC phones.
Dutch mobile operators and banks have decided not to form a joint venture to roll out NFC services together, saying "developments in the market" were responsible for ending the deal that was nearly three years in the making.
U.S.-based global product safety and testing company UL has acquired Netherlands-based NFC and smart card consulting and test tools firm Collis, which has worked with NFC joint ventures that have formed or are planned in the United States, United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
Major mobile operators and banks in the Netherlands say they plan to launch their NFC mobile-payment project in early 2013 as they await approval from European regulators for their planned joint venture.
Dutch operators and banks plan to launch NFC services in the second or third quarter of 2012, probably starting in a small city followed by a nationwide launch weeks later, Peter Van Leeuwen, strategy and business development manager for mobile operator KPN, reportedly said.
The three largest banks and three largest mobile operators in the Netherlands today announced their intention to form a joint venture to launch mobile payment, using full NFC phones.
U.S-based Texas Instruments said it expects to see prototype launches of devices using its recently launched NFC sensor transponder in the first quarter of 2015, as the U.S.-based chip maker seeks a larger stake in the promising markets for wearables, Internet of Things and industrial applications that sometimes require an NFC interface.
NFC Times Exclusive – UK-based vendor Proxama said three issuers in the UK and one in Spain are planning to launch HCE in 2015, and one or more of them are considering using a trusted execution environment, or TEE, to add security to the implementations.
NFC Times Exclusive – Payments standards group EMVCo said it doesn't expect problems with the NFC booster technology used by Apple in its new iPhones, although the group acknowledged that the technology is "very new and has not yet been fully studied and standardized."
NFC Times Exclusive – TAIPEI, Taiwan – Gemalto announced this week that it is providing NFC SIM cards for Chunghwa Telecom's commercial launch of NFC services, but availability of the SIMs to the telco's subscribers is extremely limited and none of the telco's shops or service centers currently have the cards, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive – Hungary's largest telco, which last week launched NFC payments commercially, believes it can avoid problems and threats encountered by other telcos launching
NFC Times Exclusive – Mohamed Awad, who formerly headed Broadcom's NFC business, has returned to oversee the program, among other duties, as Broadcom looks to reinvigorate a progra
NFC Times Exclusive – Turkey's largest mobile operator, Turkcell, one of the first telcos globally to launch NFC service commercially, has pulled back from the technology, having seen too little take-up for NFC retail payments, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive – With the role of the TSM coming under increasing pressure for being too complex and costly, Gemalto, the world's largest TSM, is seeking to reposition its TSM offer–promoting it as being part of a large "trusted services hub," as the France-based vendor tries to convince more banks to provision their credit and debit cards on NFC SIMs.
With interest growing again in embedded secure elements in NFC phones to store applications, thanks to Apple Pay, NXP Semiconductors is trying to drive demand for its embedded chips in Android phones by making it easier for service providers to load their applications on the silicon.
NFC Times Exclusive: The head of mobile payments for France-based mobile operator Orange Group said he wants to talk to Apple about enabling the telco's co-branded payment application, Orange Cash, on the Apple Pay platform.
NFC Times Exclusive: While the thought of more consumers tapping their phones to pay in stores is attracting the most attention with the launch of Apple Pay, it's the prospect of users paying for purchases in mobile apps with Apple Pay that could be the real breakthrough, say representatives of Visa and MasterCard Worldwide.
Israeli-based NFC and contactless company On Track Innovations pushed back its prediction for positive adjusted EBITDA back to the third quarter of 2015 and reduced its estimate for 2014 revenue growth to 10%, down from the 30% it had predicted previously, the company reported in its quarterly earnings call.

As anyone who has ever seen Sharapova play knows, we're not talking about the occasional whoop after winning an important point. We're talking about full-bodied shrieks and screams after EVERY STROKE IN EVERY POINT.
Maria Sharapova
Shrieks that have no utility other than to try to send a message to the woman on the other side of the net that Sharapova has just hit the living shit out of the ball.
According to US Davis Cup coach Patrick McEnroe, who weighed in on this issue after the match, Sharapova doesn't scream like this in practice. That means her shrieking is not a weird, uncontrollable physical defect. That means that Sharapova is doing it intentionally (if unconsciously by now) and that she could stop doing it if someone with some authority told her to stop doing it.
Sharapova's screaming is just a bogus physical intimidation technique like a howl with a karate chop and it should be banned. And Sharapova shouldn't be singled out here: All the other screamers and shriekers on the tour–including the Williams sisters, who first popularized this method of intimidation–should be muzzled, too.

8/12/14 City Flag to be lowered in honor of newborn Krystal Mangus
On Wednesday, August 13, the flag of the City of Portland will be lowered in honor of newborn Krystal Mangus who died the day she was born: April 12. She lived for twelve hours while her parents made stops to convenience stores, but ultimately never received medical care. She died of methamphetamine intoxication and neonatal pneumonia. Her parents are being held without bail following indictments of murder by abuse in the death of an infant and first-degree manslaughter.
City flags will be lowered at City Hall, the Portland Building, Portland fire stations, the World Trade Center, Pioneer Courthouse Square, and Providence Park.
"We have infant safe haven laws where any infant up to 30 days old can be taken to a medical facility, police or fire station, or birthing station," said Commissioner Dan Saltzman. "Krystal might still be alive today had someone taken her to any of these places or had just simply called 911."
Also on Wednesday, Commissioner Saltzman will make remarks followed by a moment of silence in honor of Krystal at the 9:30am Portland City Council meeting at Portland City Hall.
City Council approved a resolution in April 2009 to lower the City's flag in honor of children who die from abuse, neglect, or homicidal violence. This marks the fourteenth time that the flag has been lowered.
If you know of or suspect abuse, call the Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-509-5439. If you witness abuse, call 911.
6/4/14 City Flag to be lowered in honor of Maribella Willard & Lazaro Fuentes-Burgos
On Wednesday, June 4, the flag of the City of Portland will be lowered in honor of 2 children who were victims of homicide last month. Four year-old Maribella Rose Willard died alongside her father, who was suffering from mental illness. That case is closed. Four days later, 16 year-old Lazaro Fuentes-Burgos was found fatally shot inside a vehicle. Authorities are still investigating, and anyone with information should contact Portland Police.
The City flag will be lowered at City Hall, the Portland Building, Portland fire stations, the World Trade Center, Pioneer Courthouse Square, and Providence Park.
"I am saddened that we've lost two children this past month," said City Commissioner Dan Saltzman. "Maribella was the quintessential Portland girl who loved visiting the zoo, the Portland Children's Museum, OMSI, and the nearby park. She was supposed to start kindergarten this autumn at Beach Elementary."
"While there are many questions around Lazaro's death, we know that he left behind a family that loved and cared for him. I send condolences to Lazaro's parents and to his extended family," said Saltzman.
Also on Wednesday, Commissioner Saltzman will make remarks followed by a moment of silence in honor of Maribella and Lazaro at the 9:30am Portland City Council meeting at Portland City Hall.
City Council approved a resolution in April 2009 to lower the City's flag in honor of children who die from abuse, neglect, or homicidal violence. This marks the thirteenth time that the flag has been lowered.
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case, and tipsters can remain anonymous. You can leave a Crime Stoppers tip online, text CRIMES (274637) and in the subject line put 823HELP, followed by the tip, or call 503-823-HELP (4357) and leave the tip information. Tips can be left in English or Spanish.
4/13/14: Press Release: Short-term rental fees and affordable housing
Media Release
For Immediate Release
CONTACT: Brendan Finn, 503-823-4151
May 13, 2014
Housing Commissioner Dan Saltzman to propose short-term rental fees dedicated for affordable rental housing
PORTLAND – In June 2014, Portland City Council will be considering a proposal to legalize more short-term rentals (such as Air BnB and VRBO). Part of this proposal would require short-term rentals to pay the appropriate lodging fees. Housing Commissioner Dan Saltzman will propose to dedicate 25 percent of the City's portion of those lodging fees to an affordable rental housing fund.
Commissioner Saltzman said, "We are at a tipping point in the future of Portland and we need to ensure we still retain affordable rental housing so that families who work in Portland can afford to live in Portland." Saltzman added, "We have a crisis of availability; we need more resources to build more units to keep pace with the needs of current residents."
Short-term rentals have the potential to exacerbate Portland's current housing shortage of affordable rental units. Portland has the second tightest rental market in the nation behind New York City. In just the last year, Portland rents increased more than 11 percent, while family incomes have stayed flat.
Combined with the news that Air BnB's North American Operational Headquarters in Portland will bring 160 new jobs to the city, Commissioner Saltzman's affordable rental housing proposal creates a win-win for Portlanders.
PHAC Seeks New Members (Deadline: Friday, May 30)
April 17, 2014
Contact: Jeff Selby, Interim Public Information Officer
503-823-3239, firstname.lastname@example.com
Portland Housing Advisory Commission Seeks New Members
Portland Housing Advisory Commission (PHAC), a volunteer public advisory body that advises Portland Housing Bureau's Director, Housing Commissioner, and Portland City Council on a range of housing policy and program issues, seeks new members.
The mission of the Portland Housing Bureau (PHB) is to focus community resources on the unmet housing needs of the people of Portland. We accomplish this with expertise and direction from the PHAC.
PHB looks to the PHAC to bring ideas, analysis and diverse perspectives to the table; to highlight opportunities for influence between the City's housing system and other systems; and to provide an inclusive forum for public input on housing issues. The PHAC promotes improvements within PHB and the larger housing system, advises on issues of equity in access and outcomes for Portlanders in PHB programs, and increases the profile of PHB in the community. The PHAC functions as the PHB Budget Advisory Committee, satisfying local requirements for citizen participation in the City's annual budget process. In this role, the PHAC assists in aligning PHB's resources—including federal funds, local general fund, and the "Affordable Housing Set-aside" of tax increment funds generated through urban renewal—to PHB's mission. The PHAC also plays a role in federal regulatory compliance.
We encourage you to apply to be a member of the PHAC or a sub-committee. Please click here for the application or find it posted here, http://www.portlandoregon.gov/phb/article/434287. Return the completed application to the Office of Neighborhood Involvement (ONI), who will forward your application to the PHB. Complete instructions are available on the form.
For more information, contact Daynelle Banks at email@example.com or 503-823-3403.
3/17/14 National Window Safety Week Reminder
As the weather gets nicer and we start opening our windows, we all must do our part to help educate parents and caregivers on how they can keep children from falling out of windows.
Last week brought a special message from Chief Erin Janssens of Portland Fire & Rescue about National Window Safety Week. This week we'd like to echo the Chief's message and highlight a great book, a great video, and a great store to get the safety products you need for your family.
The moving video comes to us from one of our very own Portland firefighters and his wife regarding the fall their young son took from their second story window. We thank them for opening up and sharing their stories so that other parents do not have to go through what they have gone through. They also wrote a book for children and families called If Kids Could Float: A Window Fall Prevention Story which you can find in print or as eBook here and here.
Legacy Emanuel Hospital's Safety Center also has a safety store that "offers a variety of below-retail cost-safety products, hands-on practice and one-on-one education."
More info on all of this can also be found at the Stop at 4 Campaign website.

The World Airline Awards
The World Airline Awards are a primary benchmarking tool for Passenger Satisfaction levels of
airlines throughout the world, delivering a unique survey format based on analysis of business and leisure travellers,
across all cabin travel types (First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy Class and Economy class passengers).
Air travellers were surveyed by telephone, questionnaires and online about their experiences with airlines on the ground
and in the air during a 10-month period. The survey measured passenger satisfaction across more than 38 key performance
indicators of airline front-line product and service, including check-in, boarding, onboard seat comfort, cabin cleanliness,
food, beverages, in-flight entertainment and staff service. The Survey covered over 200 airlines, from the largest
international airlines to smaller domestic carriers.
