.- Archbishop Roberto Luckert of Coro expressed is dismay this week over news that the Venezuelan Ministry of Education plans to politicize education and remove religion classes from school curricula, and he called on officials not, "to make our students into political zombies."
Education Minister Aristobulo Isturiz told reporters recently that the "State should instruct citizens according to its political theory, according to its idea of the Republic" and he announced the implementation of a decree removing religious instruction from schools.
Speaking on Union Radio, Archbishop Luckert said the politicization of schools is "against the constitution which clearly states that education in our country is to be free and respectful of all opinions and ideas and should not impose one point of view and thus turn our kids into a bunch of political zombies."
"The proposals put forth by different officials, including Aristobulo Isturiz, to politicize education and turn our teachers into agents of indoctrination of a particular political model are constitutionally unacceptable and in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," the archbishop said.
"This is somewhat Manichean and is doing much harm to Venezuela and pitting one group against another. Add to all this the exacerbated militarization of young people, preparing them for violence and teaching them to use weapons in a supposed asymmetric war. All of this is creating a belligerent climate in Venezuela-something we have never seen before," Archbishop Luckert stated.

TROUBADISC was founded in 1991. The direction of this small and committed label was evident from the very first release - a disc of chamber works by Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel.
The classical music here offers a welcome addition to the more traditional repertory and provides listeners with a totally new experience in the world of sound: lively, appealing and topical ...
The New!
Matthias Hoffmann-Borggrefe conducts Mendelssohn's "ELIJAH"
Following upon the highly acclaimed live recording of Frank Martin's Requiem and Arthur Honegger's cantata La Danse des morts (TRO-CD 01441), Troubadisc is pleased to present another sterling performance from the Choir of St. Nikolai in Hamburg, conducted by its longstanding director, Matthias Hoffmann-Borggrefe.
There are many reasons why Mendelssohn's Elijah belongs among the jewels of the nineteenth-century romantic oratorio repertoire.
Hoffmann-Borggrefe presents a well-considered interpretation that deals intensively with musical details without losing sight of the work's overall rigor. He is assisted by such superb vocalists as Katherina Müller, Yvi Jänicke, Michael Connaire, and a truly stentorian Elijah in the form of the bass-baritone Yorck Felix Speer. The Choir of St. Nikolai is accompanied by judicious and inspired playing from the Hamburg Camerata. The multi-track recording uniquely captures the special atmosphere of this concert of November 2013.
Renate Eggebrecht plays the Ysaÿe Sonatas and Rodrigo's Capriccio
Ysaÿe is still largely neglected as a composer.
Renate Eggebrecht is thus all the more concerned to show, with her readings, where he should be placed among the great composers for the solo violin and what magnificent things he achieved in this area: 'Ysaÿe's trailblazing expansion of violin technique led music into uncharted territory: Bartók, Milhaud, Schoenberg, Denisov and many others pursued his discoveries in their own violin music.'
Another aspect that fascinates her about the Ysaÿe sonatas is their relation to the music of Bach, whose set of three sonatas and three partitas she has likewise recorded for the Edition VIOLIN SOLO.
Rounding off the Ysaÿe sonatas as a sort of epilogue is the Capriccio by Joaquín Rodrigo. Composed in 1944 as a tribute to the great violinist Pablo de Sarasate, Renate Eggebrecht finds it 'a pièce de resistance of rich-hued impressionistic neo-classicism and daredevil virtuosity for the solo violin'.
"I let Bach decide what his music has to say"
Renate Eggebrecht plays Bach and Silvestrov
Yet another Bach recording? Why not! After all, Bach's Six Sonatas and Partitas for unaccompanied violin are the ne plus ultra for their instrument. They also pose a monumental challenge to every violinist – a challenge in which musical substance, tone quality and technical mastery are tested no less supremely than the player's skill in characterisation and the ability to breathe tension into large-scale form. In her solo performances of Bach, Renate Eggebrecht pulls out every stop from a lifetime of experience both as an active musician.

A Way to Put Personality in an Online Class

Synchronous meetings provide both professor and student the advantages of face to face (traditional) class meetings while in reality they can be many miles apart. With today's lifestyle it is not always possible for students to attend classes on a physical campus in a specific city at a specific time. The use of synchronous meetings allow the online classes to be supplemented with online office sessions, study sessions, special instruction, brain storming get togethers, collaborations, etc.
The meetings can be held almost any time 24/7 that is agreeable with the participants. In 2008, it seems that everyone is concerned about confidentially. Synchronous meetings allow both professor and student to meet and all personal information such as cell phone number, home phone and personal address are not known unless someone wants to divulge such information. A few simple rules, which are included in the article, can and will help to make all meetings more success for all.
Keywords: synchronous meetings, distance education, online classes
A professor can truly meet online students by using synchronous (singkrәnәss) meetings. Students can be part of the class even if they are miles, states or even continents apart. Today's lifestyle and availability of online classes allow students to live miles from the physical campus. In fact many students earn degrees via online classes and never step foot on the physical campus.
The use of synchronous meetings helps to make these online classes easier to utilize than in the previous years. These meetings also prove online classes can be much more than glorified correspondence classes. They put the student on center stage and make him/her aware of information which might otherwise be omitted if the class was strictly/truly an online or a correspondence class.
Online synchronous class is conversational in style and has both the spontaneity and fluidity of a face to face class. (Wang, C. H. 2005) Because synchronous meetings has many of the features of being in a face to face class or in real-time, students can and do build a sense of social presence and a delicate sense of association in the communication events. Murphy & Collins 1997; Green, 1998; Duemer et al. 2002; Schwier & Dykes 2004).
Synchronous meetings or classes in contrast to asynchronous classes have a number of advantages which students seem to appreciate.
Asynchronous meetings would email, voicemail, pager, PDA and Usenet newsgroups. In these meetings the messages are not in real-time but as the reader elects to read the messages. Since asynchronous is not in real-time it can present students with a dilemma as peers may not be on the same page with much time as elapsed between the original postings and when the student is ready to contribute to this conversation.
In the synchronous meetings, students are able to share and even debate multiple perspectives simultaneously without the fear of interrupting the flow of conversation or that the conversation has moved on.
This is a trait which students report makes them even more comfortable than even the face to face classroom. Some students just do not like their peers looking at them while they are speaking.
Synchronous meetings can take two forms or a combination of the two. In the first, the professor serves as the host and is the only who has a speaking part. In the second form, there is a professor who is the host however, every one has permission to speak and does. Patton (in press) found that this is type was very successful if the group was eight or less. If the number of participants, number eight or more, they seem to talk over each other. However, the codes discussed later are extremely helpful. In addition to these two, there is a third type where the professor grants permission to some members for a period of time.
This is especially good if student are trying to make presentations, etc. Wang (2005) reported that in some of his research, he found that the synchronous meetings were viewed by some as social events; however, in a fully online class this did not seem to be the case. In the fully online class, the synchronous meetings were used to supplement the WebCT or Blackbroad- type based classes. Students attending either of the types of sessions maybe at various locations and communicate via typing or speaking their thoughts, responses, etc.
Although the internet is widely used by millions today in business, education and as pleasure, it did not become a technology mainstream until after 1992. Prior to early 2000's many online classes were just extensions of the old correspondence classes via the mail service. During the last five years we have witnessed the addition of graphics and audio to websites. The interactive component is almost a toddler in this technology age. However, it is growing at a rapid pace. During the last few years, technology has been improved so graphics, video, interactive components, audio, etc are common place. Each of these components plays an important part in synchronous learning.
Synchronous meetings can have three types of exchange as found in Hrastinski's (2005) work which he credits Haythornthwaite (2002) as being very influential. The sharing of information among students is one of the main foci of any class whether it is traditional, non-traditional, face to face or distance (online). Students need to feel as ease and in a non-threatening environment if they are going to ask questions and share thoughts with others. The social support is needed as a means of "maintaining relationship to foster knowledge work"(Cho, Trier & Kim, 2005). Task support relations are needed to bring the culmination of the project.

Synchronous meetings are thought to be something new and very technological, when in reality it has been around as long as there has been communication. Synchronous means occurring simultaneously, working at the same rate and in the same period of. Technology has made it possible for the participants to be in different locations and this aspect is fairly new to the real time instruction.
Many of the technologies designed today seem to remove the human involvement however; synchronous tools place the participants on center stage. If willing participants are able to share, collaborate and learn. The use of synchronous learning can be exciting and fruitful for everyone involved. Synchronous learning technology has a learning curve which is almost flat as participants can be proficient using synchronous learning in a very short time. After, one or two short sessions everyone seems to be performing like pros. The uses for synchronous meetings are virtually endless. It can be used anytime or place that two or more people who are not in the same physical location need to communicate. Unlike the traditional meetings the synchronous meetings allow participants to be across town, state, country or even continent. If desired the class can meet anytime 24/7. This flexibility and convenience afforded in the synchronous classes also carry some serious liabilities. This technology offers the professor and student an alternative to just presenting material.
The simple act of presenting content does not equate to teaching. It is a known fact among educators that it is important especially for distance educators to find ways to support students and keep them as active participants in educational setting. (Moore & Kearsley, 1996; Wenger, 1998; Arbaugh, 2000; Bento & Schuster, 2003; Mazzolini & Maddison, 2003)
A sense of disconnection and isolation is a major concern in online classes. Experienced distance learning educators have stated that motivating students is a major problem. Web-based courses just seem to lack the energy of the traditional face to face classes thus putting a burden on the instructor to bring life into the class (Finkelstein, 2006). Synchronous meetings seem to put back much of the personality back into the online class as if it were a face to face format.
With the constant need to be accessible to students and students having more and more responsibilities outside the campus, the academic world is striving to meet the needs of the students (Anagnostopoulos, Basnadjian & McCrory 2005) Synchronous meetings seem to be a possibility as a partial answer to those needs. Unlike the traditional classes with all students being in one room, the synchronous meetings or classes allow students to be across campus, town, state, country or even continent while attending. The time factor can be as open or closed as the host desires Although many of the meetings occur at non-traditional times, meetings during mid-morning and afternoon have also been utilized and proven to be very fruitful.
Synchronous meetings can be used for
Ø Virtual office
Ø Instruction
Ø Collaboration
Ø Study sessions
Ø Brain storming
Ø Support
Ø Extensions
Virtual office is especially useful as many of today's students have so many other responsibilities and can be as late or early as the professor desires (Wang & Beasly 2006). Virtual office can be private or if desired more than one student can be in the office at one time. The professor can even hold office hours from his/her home without providing such personal information as cell, home phone or address.
Instruction using synchronous meetings is awesome. One way is for the professor to make a presentation slide show. While the students sit at a PC, they can see the slide and hear the professor lecture. Another method is to use the whiteboard in connection with the slides and the professor is free to mark on the slides as needed A tablet PC is especially useful with the whiteboard in a math class.
This is almost the same as everyone being in the same physical classroom while the professor is writing a problem on the board. Students appreciate a hard copy of the problems to use during the synchronous meetings therefore, an email is sent to the students 24-48 hours prior to the synchronous meeting. Just as students have an opportunity to prepare for a class using a textbook, the students use the emailed problems to prepare for the meeting.
All visuals should be easy to read and easy on the eyes (Clark & Kwinn, 2007). You do not want the synchronous meeting to be viewed as an eye test. Always use font size of 18 or larger. Occasionally if you must use something smaller, be sure it is to help the student to locate an important aspect on a page or something similar but definitely not text the student must read. Easy to read fonts will be ones which are eye appealing, clear and easy to read. Simple straight line fonts are usually better especially. The fonts i.e. Ariel do not seem to create the fatigue that some of the fancy ones do. Simple clean slides rather than cluttered backgrounds which can be distracting is usually a preferred choice. Use soft pleasing to the eye background rather than white backgrounds with dark lettering or dark background with white lettering as both seem to cause eye fatigue. Simple slides are usually more effective than ones with a great amount of information. You do not need everything you are going to say on the slide, remember that the students can read. The slide should be just an outline of the information or just a few of the important words concerning the topic.
Collaboration is another feature of synchronous meetings as groups of students can collaborate while the professor serves as a facilitator. This is especially good when the students do not have a chance to meet face to face.
Study sessions can be most fruitful using the synchronous meetings. Professor lead sessions helping students to prepare for certification tests can be trying for both the professor and the students. One of the best parts of having these sessions utilizing synchronous meeting is the ability to have them late at night or very early in the morning in order to accommodate the needs of the students. Students have even said, "It is just like meeting on campus but I can be in my PJ's." Sessions of this nature are usually optional and students usually have better attendance when they are able to attend at times which do not conflict with school, work and family obligations. Many of the students who need these sessions have many time constraints therefore the synchronous meetings are a very welcome method of studying.
Synchronous meetings are excellent for brainstorming. Students often are more willing to contribute to the cause when they do not have the all the eyes on them as in the classroom. To reduce stress, students can even be allowed to use pseudonym or an alias. The professor can ask for identities if needed via email, etc. (Branon & Essex, 2004). These brainstorming sessions seem to draw contributions from the shy students. Often the contributions would have not been expressed in the traditional classroom. These shy students do not seem to realize that they, too, can add valuable contributions.
Extensions are very easy as the professor can move beyond the expected or required and work with the students who are capable and desire to do more than the minimum expectations. As with collaboration and sharing, these extensions can be most fruitful.
Just as any meeting requires a few management rules or ethnics, the synchronous meeting is no exception. By using a few simple signs the synchronous meeting can be very productive. Students are asked to think about what they are planning to insert into the conversation before they actually make the interjection. Since I usually teach math classes with this media, many of the examples are math oriented. If they become familiar with the matrix below it and use it, the synchronous conversations become much more focused. If their interjection is "Urgent and Important" then, the student needs to speak up at this time.
If it is "Not Urgent/Important" then this will wait until the appropriate time which is usually at the end of the class when students are given an opportunity to add. It comes in the "Unimportant/Urgent" category; the problem needs to be addressed as quickly as possible to avoid distracting peers. It does not take long for the entire group to lose their focus thus the meeting has lost is value. Lastly, if it is "Unimportant/Not Urgent" most likely the student needs to re-focus or leave the meeting. It is only going to create problems for everyone.
Not Urgent
© Patton 2006
Figure: 3
In order to keep the conversation, flowing at the optimum speed, students are urged to use a few signals such as "?" for "I have a question, please allow me to speak" or "!" for "I would like to add something to the conversation".
When the participants want to type in a question, it is best to only type in a few words, hit send and proceed by repeating the few words, send mode until the entire sentence is completed. This will allow the rest of the group to have the questions as it is sent rather than wait until the entire question can be typed in. (Branon & Essex). Since many of us are not very face typing on the keyboard, the signals help to keep the conversation on target. Prior to using these signals, the conversations seem to almost bounce back and forth between a couple of topics and almost everyone had difficulties sorting the information into the proper categories.
In small groups of eight or less, it is very good for each person participating in the meeting to have the ability to speak however; in larger groups it is much easier if only the professor has speaking privileges and students can type in their input or responses (Barnes 2003).Even with only one person speaking the signals help to keep the session more organized.

Online classes have so many advantages as to scheduling, etc for the busy person who has many other responsibilities. According to Haefner, this flexibility and convenience afforded in the synchronous classes also carry some serious liabilities. A sense of disconnection and isolation is a major concern. Experienced distance learning educators have stated that motivating their students is a major problem. They further believe that Web-based courses just lack the energy of the traditional face to face classes thus putting a burden on the instructor to bring life into the class. It is up to the professor and the class working together to make the sessions successful. The use of emoticons and quick text helps to rid the class of some of the disconnection and isolation. They can be used by either the professor or the students or both. The charts above have a few of the more popular ones or ones which would be appropriate in the classroom setting.
An advantage of the synchronous meetings is that when used as the beginning of an online course, it helps to help a friendly and social atmosphere. This is very valuable as the students' progress through the semester (Lin & Lee, 2003). The social atmosphere is not to be confused with a non educational atmosphere. The social atmosphere allows the student to realize that the professor and peers is really people. This personal touch seems to make students more comfortable and eager to learn. They do not feel so alone.
With the synchronous meetings, students have the opportunity to brain storm, exchange ideas and thoughts. If the professor will pose open-ended questions, the students will gain much perspective of the content during each session. Questions can easily turn into ones in which a short one word answer is appropriate but those questions will not promote a sharing environment. Do not toss the short answer questions, as they can be used sprinkled about the session and it will help to keep some of the non-actively involved participants on task.
Of course, there are drawbacks as well as positives in synchronous meetings just like other aspects. Since many of the students never see each other, they do not recognize their peers even if they meet face to face. This also means there are no unplanned chats in the snack area, no chats after or before class, no conversations as peers walk to and from class, no serendipitous meeting on campus or even in the local grocery store, and few exchanges between student and professor after class.
One of the greatest drawbacks is the fact that one can not see the others therefore there is not any body language (hand gestures, facial expressions, etc.) to help the receiver understand the speaker's message. However, the use of emoticons as discussed earlier can alleviate some of this burden.
"Synchronous online sessions cannot equal the subtlety, the humor, the energy, and the excitement of the real life classroom, but it affords more immediacy than asynchronous (posting on chat boards, voice mail, emails, etc) communication alone" (Haefner). Dialogue and conversation are by definition immediate interchanges, are synchronous. Dialogue and conversation have been an integral part of teaching and learning since humans began communicating. "Immediate interchanges (synchronous) have an energy and earnestness that can't be matched by deferred responses, delayed replies" (Haefner). Synchronous meetings may not be the panacea to solve all the distant education problems however; it has good prospects in the early years of the twenty-first century.

Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray Reviews
Works Great - But the Lemon Scent is Too Much for MeHere's my quick disclaimer: the only beef I have with this product is that the lemon verbena scent to this product makes me think of furniture polish (sorry, Oscar). Otherwise, I'm a total fan of the Spray. So, setting aside the smell (which other consumers might love and think it's fresh), I prefer this Spray formula over the dry powder that is harder for me to control. I have extremely fine, sh...read moreoulder length hair with layers, and by the end of any given day -- my scalp is oily. I'm able to cure that problem just by spraying the product in 3-4 areas (I never use this anywhere but my scalp). The added bonus - my hair will hold curl better if I'm styling it at the end of the day after I've used this product. The price is consistent with the few other choices on the retail shelves. — 5 years, 8 months agoMarketingVeep | 20 reviews
Not the best, but not the worst......I was so excited to try this easier spray version of the original dry shampoo, but it didn't really live up to my expectations. Even though the product may be good, I didn't really get a chance to experience it because it ran out so quickly whereas the powder form lasted longer. Second, the price isn't that great either judging that you're basically paying $21 for a fragranced baby powder spray. T...read morehis would work for a quick touch up for semi oily roots on a summer day, but I wouldn't substitute it for a shampoo. — 5 years, 8 months agogreekma | 10 reviews

Morning rush must-have!This is a great product for those days when you don't have time for a shower & need to freshen up. It is also a healthier alternative than washing your hair everyday. — 5 years, 8 months agoRobyn79 | 25 reviews
eh its okin the world of dry shampoos, this one will do. i like it but i LOVE the Ojon dry shampoo. This Oscar Blandi one does smell good and leave my hair feeling fresh. As a girl with super dry bleached hair and a daily gym routine, i cant afford to wash my hair everyday, so dry shampoo is my lifesaver :) — 5 years, 8 months agothatgirlkrissy | 3 reviews
How did I live without this?I love this product. I love the smell, I love the way it sprays on, I love being able to fake clean hair without having to suds up all the time (which can be hard on your hair!) I spray from a distance, let it dry, then shake and have no problems with any color differences, but I am blonde, so maybe that's part of it? — 5 years, 8 months agoheatherdazy | 20 reviews
love it!yes this product did live up to it's claims! — 5 years, 9 months agocandyapples17 | 167 reviews
Love the product, but the amount of it is tiny!I swear I could go thru a can a week. It smells wonderful but you hadly get any more than 5-6 uses from the spray can. I have the powder version too, but the aerosol is easier when you are in a rush. I would recommend it but the amount you get is not worth the money. — 6 years, 2 months agodontfrontyo | 1 reviews
Not worth the money at allIt doesn't work!! — 6 years, 4 months agoGlamorous | 149 reviews
Mixed emotionsI felt the bottle was empty in 3 or 4 uses. I love the smell, I have brown hair, and I felt it made my hair look slightly gray. I would try the non spray version, before this one. — 6 years, 4 months agoJENBERN | 8 reviews
Love it!Amazing product. My hair is very fine but colored so I try not to shampoo everyday so the ends don't get dry. Unfortunately, it can get really oily at the scalp, especially during the summer. Pronto is my secret weapon. I find it works better if I put it in my hair the night before rather than waiting until the morning. And it smells fantastic. — 6 years, 5 months agoAndrealeo | 1 reviews

Marina's StoryI was at a friends house one night to help with a political rally. For helping him, he fed us all this dish. I was so blown away by how simple it was and yet soooo tasty that I decided to work on my own version of it (his used canned greenbeans and canned white potatoes) This was the result.
hambone, with a good bit of meat on it. (leftover ham is good - or boneless ham cut into cubes) * ham on bone is best though.
1 medium
onion diced finely
4 - 5 medium
potatoes cut into 2 inch chunks
1 lb
green beans, fresh cut into smaller pieces
6 - 8 c
salt, pepper, and dill to taste
Directions Step-By-Step
1In stock pot ( or crock pot ) place ham and water and bring to a boil. Boil for an hour or till meat starts to come off the bone, then remove ham from the pot to take meat off the bone. When cool enough to handle, cut ham into bite sized pieces
2Sautee the onion in about a tbsp of oil and then add to boiling ham stock in the crock pot along with the greenbeans and cook just till they're tender but still crisp.
3Add ham back to the crock pot and add potatoes and seasonings, turn heat down to low and simmer till potatoes are fork tender.
4Tastes great with a side salad and some crusty french bread

Eva Lewis EvaFromDayton - Jul 16, 2011
I have made this myself with fresh green beans and cooked in the crock pot. It is one of my favorites. One thing I love about this recipe is being able to use the canned versions of the vegetables when I am rushed or after work.
Marina Neff Kittiecooks - Jul 16, 2011
Yes, I've used the canned greenbeans and potatoes too and it does make things faster (and can be pretty tasty too) :-)
Eva Lewis EvaFromDayton - Jul 16, 2011
And my favorite side is sweet cornbread. YUMMY! Goes perfectly.

Abbie Boudreau Moves from CNN to ABC
ABC News has hired away CNN investigative correspondent Abbie Boudreau. Boudreau will be joining ABC News' Los Angeles bureau beginning Monday.
The award-winning Boudreau joined CNN in October 2007 as an Atlanta-based correspondent in the Special Investigations and Documentary unit. She has worked on multiple CNN special reports, including "Killings at the Canal: The Army Tapes," "Biden: Revealed," and "Campus Rage."
For ABC, Boudreau will be a general assignment reporter joining David Wright and Mike Von Fremd in the L.A. bureau. This is ABC's first on-air correspondent hire since a massive round of cuts at the network earlier this year that resulted in the elimination of more than 350 positions, including several West Coast correspondent jobs.
The news was first reported by LA news site The Enterprise Report.

Downtown Kansas City's historic, European-style Hotel Phillips involuntarily snared a small role in Sacha Baron Cohen's new, cheeky, mock-documentary, "Bruno." (Read USA TODAY's review of the movie.)
The Kansas City Star gives us an insider's take on how the English comedian makes movies by recounting the making of an outrageous scene that I've not read about anywhere else. In Bruno, Baron Cohen portrays a flamboyantly gay Austrian fashion reporter.
DID YOU KNOW?I'm on Twitter.
According to the Star: In the movie, a hotel maintenance man finds Bruno (Baron Cohen) and his assistant/lover Lutz handcuffed together in Room 2010. While the hotel isn't identified, you can plainly see its name on the employee's name tag. Bruno and Lutz, clad in black leather S&M harnesses, are locked in a knot while gerbils scramble in a nearby dresser draw. Bruno tells the employee that they lost their handcuff keys. The visibly shaken employee calls for backup, and soon hotel officials including sales director Blaine Proctor arrive at the scene - giving Baron Cohen exactly what he needed to make the scene over-the-top.
Readers: Have you ever stayed at hotel - or in the hotel room - where a movie scene was shot? Tell us about it by clicking on the "comment" section above.
Employees thought the film crew was making a real documentary about a European man traveling around the USA and how he interacts with Americans, the story says. They didn't know about the Borat-style twist.
"The people we were dealing with up to that moment were as professional as any you'd hope to meet," Proctor told the Star. "We absolutely believed this was a real documentary crew."
Hotel employees didn't realize Baron Cohen was involved until the maintenance man answered the call, the story says. And when the hotel's lawyer reviewed the waivers employees had signed, he said there was no way out.
So there you have it. Die-hard Baron Cohen fans might be interested to know that rooms at Hotel Phillips - including, perhaps, Room 2010 - are still available next week for $169 to $199 per night on the hotel's Web site. But if Bruno keeps gaining momentum at the box office, who knows?
So, readers, have you ever stayed in a hotel - or in the specific room - where a movie scene was shot? Tell us about it by clicking on the "comment" section above. I'll get you started...
In a tweet, @skydiver (Peter Shankman), told me that he always stays at the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles, which has a rich history of movies being shot there.
"LA's Westin Bonaventure is my favorite LA hotel. From True Lies to Ruthless People to In the Line of Fire," he tweeted. But his reason goes beyond movies, and since it's interesting and involves music, I thought I'd share it with you.
He first went to the hotel in 1978 at age six with his parents because his dad Ira Shankman's group Vocal Jazz Incorporated had an album ("High Clouds") was nominated for a Grammy in the category of best vocal arrangement for a duo, group or chorus. But that wasn't what made it memorable for the then-six-year-old. Turns out, little Shankman sneaked away from his parents and found the glass elevators while his parents checked in. And since he was gone for so long, they ultimately called the police. All of which means, he got in such major trouble that's he'll remember it forever.
Guess it's lucky for the Bonaventure that there's some positive memory associated with the experience!
PS: High Clouds didn't win the Grammy that year. It lost to the Bee Gee's Staying Alive soundtrack.

We have heard the saying money can't buy happiness, and indeed there is plenty of evidence out there, both anecdotal and scientific, that suggests that simply having a ton of money, all by itself, will not make you happy. In fact a better predictor of happiness than how much money you have is how you spend the money you already have.
There are quite a few of us academics that have done research on how money can be used as a tool for happiness, but now there is finally a book that presents it all in a very applied and engaging format, and no, I did not have anything to do with writing it. Still—I am happy to recommend it.
HAPPY MONEY: The Science of Smarter Spending by Dunn and Norton is a great read written by two star researchers in the field of happiness. Drawing on fascinating and often surprising new research, Professors Michael Norton (of Harvard Business School) and Elizabeth Dunn (of the University of British Columbia) show that changing the way people spend can significantly increase their happiness. At the heart of their book are five key principles that we can use to increase our happiness every single day. I have added a bonus, also backed up my research, which is why this blog has a total of 6 key principals to happiness. The book is worth aquiring and reading, but in the mean time, here are some of the book's highlights, plus a tip or two from me, that you can use to increase your happiness both now and in the future!

Toeing the line on signs
Zoning officer will enforce signage rules
WATERTOWN — The town's zoning enforcement officer is going to be cracking down — gently — on illegal signs along Main Street.
"It's getting worse and worse throughout the community," Planning and Zoning Chairman Gary Martin said. "It seems like if one or two go up, then four or five or six more go up. You have to stay on top of it or it gets out of control."

Die-hard fans who didn't get to see New Kids on the Block during their 2008 reunion tour and missed their 2009 South Florida show for obvious reasons (it was canceled) will rejoice. NKOTB is slated to hit the Fillmore Miami Beach this Thursday.
Slap bracelets and vintage '80s New Kids on the Block logo T: Check. NKOTB comforter, dolls, frames, and posters: Double check. Few people will argue with the fluffy, cheesy nature of NKOTB's over-the-top marketing or their lyrics (Donny's random grunts, anyone?). But we wouldn't love them any other way.

Species interactions in a parasite community drive infection risk in a wildlife population
Telfer, S, Lambin, X, Birtles, RJ, Beldomenico, P, Burthe, S, Paterson, S and Begon, M 2010, 'Species interactions in a parasite community drive infection risk in a wildlife population' , Science, 330 (6001) , pp. 243-246.

Most hosts, including humans, are simultaneously or sequentially infected with several parasites. A key question is whether patterns of coinfection arise because infection by one parasite species affects susceptibility to others or because of inherent differences between hosts. We used time-series data from individual hosts in natural populations to analyze patterns of infection risk for a microparasite community, detecting large positive and negative effects of other infections. Patterns remain once variations in host susceptibility and exposure are accounted for. Indeed, effects are typically of greater magnitude, and explain more variation in infection risk, than the effects associated with host and environmental factors more commonly considered in disease studies. We highlight the danger of mistaken inference when considering parasite species in isolation rather than parasite communities.

Hey, girls! My name's Leora, and I'm a senior in high school. I've been interning here at GL for about three weeks now and it's pretty much every girl's dream job. Not only do I have the opportunity to do what I love—writing—but I also get to give advice to girls searching for solutions to real-life problems and to help them develop the confidence they need to be who they are! How awesome is that?
OK…I'm going to be completely honest with you—I'm a little bit of a bookworm. I completely confess to willingly signing up for AP Chem this year and two summers ago I really enjoyed interning at a science research laboratory where I wore a lab coat, splash goggles, and gloves—basically the entire chemist ensemble. Simply put, I worked with chemicals and test tubes and conducted a ton of experiments. You know, gel electrophoresis, growing bacteria, developing neurons…that kind of stuff. I'm not gonna lie. I had fun trying to cure diseases and study proteins!
So you can understand why I was in for a little change when I came to GL: No lab coat, no goggles, and no chemicals. Just me, my laptop, my secret obsession with pop culture and my enthusiasm for writing. I've always been fascinated with the publishing business, and through my internship with GL, I've been lucky enough to learn about the inner workings of a successful, national magazine. I've come to learn how truly important it is for everyone to work together as a team. And how crucial it is for creativity and originality to be expressed and embraced.
As an intern, I get to write articles for the GL website. One of my favorite things to do is write about relevant health and entertainment topics. I love covering stories from red carpet events like the Oscars to the health risks of sugary sports drinks. I love keeping you girls up to date on anything and everything you've gotta know to stay informed.
So like I said, this internship is an incredible opportunity and has taught me so much about the magazine world. But what I've learned most of all from this experience is that if you really want something and have, well, a crazy dream, if you turn your aspirations into positive action, anything is possible. Like Miley Cyrus sings in her hit-single (you guessed it) "The Climb: "It's not about how fast I get there, it's not about what's waiting on the other side. It's the climb." So whatever your hopes are—from curing cance to becoming the editor of a successful newspaper or magazine—never give up on your dreams. Perseverance and determination are everything. And like Miley says, it really is all about the climb.

Series Description
The Bronco TV show was a 60 minute western action series on ABC about an ex-confederate Army Captain who went to the wild west after the civil war ended. He encountered many historical figures such as Cole Younger, Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickok, & Billy the Kid. The series was known for its action and adventure.
Bronco Cast
Ty Hardin .... Bronco Layne
Jack Elam .... Toothy Thompson
Bronco Trivia
Bronco was a "spin-off" of another TV show called "Cheyenne". In 1958, Clint Walker (the star of Cheyenne) quit the very successful show after a dispute with Warner Brothers. Ty Hardin was cast in that TV show as "Bronco Layne" to fill in the gap left by Walker leaving. Bronco became its own series when Clint Walker returned to Cheyenne.
During the first two seasons, Bronco rotated every other week with another western series titled, "Sugarfoot". In the third season, Bronco rotated with both "Sugarfoot" and its "spun-from" series, "Cheyenne". Then, for the final season, Bronco only had to share the time slot with "Cheyenne".
Ty Hardin was born "Orson Whipple Hungerford II".
There may not have been many regular Cast on Bronco but there were plenty of encounters with interesting historical characters including Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok, Cole Younger and Belle Star, to name a few!
The legendary James Coburn played the part of Jesse James in episode #29, "The Shadow of Jesse James".
Ty Hardin's third wife (Marlene) was Miss Universe of 1961.
Theme Song
Title: "Bronco"
By: "Paul Sawtell"
Bronco, Bronco, tearin' across the Texas plain.
Bronco, Bronco, Bronco Layne.
Worn down around the old panhandle,
Texas is where he grew to fame.
There ain't a horse that he can't handle,
that's how he got his name.
Bronco, Bronco, tearin' across the Texas plain.
Bronco, Bronco, Bronco Layne.
Next to a four square Texas twister,
You'd call a cyclone weak and mild,
You've never seen a twister, mister,
Till someone gets him riled.
Bronco, Bronco, tearin' across the Texas plain.
Bronco, Bronco, Bronco Layne.
Show me a gal who kissed him once,
And I'll show you a gal who's kissed him twice.
Once a city gal has kissed him twice,
She's dreamin' of shoes and rice.
Bronco, Bronco, tearin' across the Texas plain.
Bronco, Bronco, Bronco Layne.

|We are planning on building a new home and in the house plans my husband drew up is a Walk Through Closet. It takes us out of our Master Bedroom and Connects to Utility Room with Washer and Dryer, Outside Entrance and Garage Entrance. It does not connect to our Master Bathroom. The Mater Bathroom is in a Room next to it, but it does not connect. It will have a doors on both ends that can be shut. How would you organize this? Before we build, do you think a walk Through is even a good idea? any ideas will be greatly appreciated. We plan on living in this house for the rest or our lives and don't want to make a mistake in the build. This is our first and only house we plan on building.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Just making sure I understand. How do you access the Utility Room other than the Master Bedroom?
One note I'd make, *personally* I think the extra effort required to bring clean clothes up from the laundry is a good motivator for sorting and deciding if it's a garment's "time to go". While I think the convenience of having a utility room right there would be great, I would monitor how I used it to make sure I wasn't just putting stuff away because it was so convenient. Does that make sense?
I don't think an extra door would make that much difference if the doors were opposite each other. The one time in my life we've been fortunate enough to have a walk-in closet, a door on the far wall would have been perfectly fine. I mean, you want a path through the center anyway, otherwise the whole thing would be unmanageable.
|Utility/mud rooms are often dusty. Do you want that leading into your closet? This sounds like a "guy thing" plan. Although having the laundry near the closet would be convenient.
I personally don't like my laundry in the mud room because of the dirt issue, and it means my laundry is on display all the time.
I dont know if this will work. here is picture of house plans we drew up and are working off of.
Still working on it

|I like the walk-thru closet. It would make putting away your clothes so much easier. But I would suggest making both doors opening to inside the closet, rather than to the outside. Or better yet, I'd make the one from the utility into the closet be a pocket door. We have a pocket from our mudroom into the hall and I love it. Plus, your utility has a lot of doors in it. Also, I think you should consider putting a prep sink in the island (and make the island a little bigger)...and line the island up with the stove area. Your sink is a long way from the stove and fridge. While I'm at it, I'd suggest a pocket door for the master bath as well. When you have the door open, which is most of the time, it will block one sink. If you swing it open to the other side, it will block your shower. I had this in a previous house and it bugged me. It makes the bathroom seem cramped. If you ask for ideas on the decorating forum, you'll get a lot of good suggestions. I came over to this board looking for ideas on my closet, but I don't think the decorating gals come over here that often.
|Oh! I get it and like it.
The one thing I would suggest that I don't see, would be some space for a coat closet right when you come in. Or just put a free-standing wardrobe in if that's not practical.
|We have a coat closet at the front door. Thinking of shelving with hooks at the back door. I wanted lots of closet space since not having a basement. We own 58 acres and have the site staked out. we are waiting on all bids to come in and utility comps to let us know how much to get everything ran out to the site. It is just My hubby and I and a yellow lab. The front Bedroom will actually serve as an office and then we would have one spare bedroom for guests.
|Yes, definitely get the bathroom door out of the kitchen!
- Posted by kathleenca (My Page) on Thu, Jan 28, 10 at 18:53
|Now that I see the plan for the walkthrough closet it makes a lot of sense. Would you want a window in the toilet area of the master bathroom? I think most building codes require a window if the ventilation systemis not adequate.
Comments on the bedrooms & the bathroom on the other side of the house. Are you sure you want these rooms opening directly into the living room & kitchen? I would want a hall for them to open into so any mess is not always on view. Additionally, in some areas the building code does not allow bathrooms to open directly into a kitchen. Think sanitation, smell, noise.
Is there a window in the other bathroom?
- Posted by claire_de_luna (My Page) on Fri, Jan 29, 10 at 13:17
|If you can include some low drawer storage in your closet, it would be nice to be able to put away all your clothes in there. You could use a shelf above the drawers to fold laundry on before putting it away, since it's so convenient to the W/D. I would probably put the drawers in the middle of the closet on each side of the walk-through, so you have a more open, finished space in the middle, with ''His'' and ''Hers'' sides. That way you could put your heavy, outdoor hanging items closer to the utility room, along with your travel gear and out-of-season clothes. The hanging clothes you wear most, of course closest to the bedroom, with shoes. I love the Elfa gliding shoe racks, which make so much sense to me.
Also, you probably need to think about where your dirty clothes are going to go. Your washer/dryer space isn't all that large, but I figured out a way to sort my dirty clothes and make washing much more convenient in a small space. My laundry closet in your utility room could work well for you in this instance.
The low drawers have wire bins in them, which I use to sort (Light, Medium, Dark colors). The baskets above the washer and dryer are specialty items (undies, towels, delicates). I have a smaller, European style W/D which works well in the space. Each bin/basket holds one load and because it's already sorted, I only have to Stuff the washer and Start it!

|my favorite i have ever seen had 2 doors off of a huge master bedroom suite..there was a small bath off of each door..one with a shower, one with a tub..then each had a door to a long closet between the two bathrooms..
there was hanging bars along each side with cabinetry ..base style island like all down the center..and room for dressers on each end..it was very very cool
- Posted by justgotabme (My Page) on Sat, Feb 6, 10 at 23:10
|I think it's brilliant! Our laundry room is just catty corner across the hall from our master bedroom suite and I love not having to walk across the house to put away clothes. It's a dream situation!

A Santa Maria man who admitted to smuggling drugs into Santa Barbara County Jail was sentenced to two years in prison Friday morning.
Paul Bautista, 30, pleaded guilty to a felony of bringing illegal narcotics into the facility. He along with two others — Marcos Ramos and Samantha Aftergut — were arrested in November after authorities reportedly found the drugs on Ramos. Authorities suspected Aftergut gave the drugs to Bautista, who then smuggled them into the jail and gave them to Ramos.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Hilary Dozer dismissed charges against Aftergut because the "evidence with regard to her was insufficient to proceed." There was no way to prove the drugs prescribed to her were the drugs discovered in the jail, Dozer explained.
Four days after the drug discovery, Ramos was convicted to eight years in prison for an unrelated crime. Authorities allege they found him in possession of heroin, prescription pills, marijuana, and tobacco. But because he was already headed to prison, and the amount of time that could be tacked on was minimal, Dozer said, no charges were filed against Ramos. He is currently at Wasco State Prison.

Market Towns
BBC NEWS | UK | 'Modern trends' put towns at risk
More than 1,000 market towns throughout Britain face an uncertain future due to a shift in modern lifestyles, new research claims.
It found more people were prepared to use out-of-town shops or the internet, leaving local traders out of pocket.
Well it has been going on for a long time - so what do the local council do to encourage people to use the town centre? let us take Devizes as an example which has a large central marketplace were free parking for shopping always has been the norm. So to "make it better for people to use" Kennet council reduces the number of free spaces, suggesting people are happy to walk half a mile down a narrow sloping street to an other car park. And they want to introduce parking charges, not to manage the parking problem or provide revenue to go towards the upkeep of the car park. No "consultants" have shown the way for the Council to make up the "revenue shortfall" is to issue more penalty tickets. Yes penalty tickets, they are introducing a bye-law purely so they can raise money by fining people who break it. And they wonder why people don't go there..
Below is the local rag's story - as they lose it from the web after a week.
A DEVIZES councillor is appealing to colleagues on Kennet District Council to resist pressure to introduce "decriminalised" parking in the district.
Jeff Ody, the member for Devizes South, says that parking attendants will be under pressure to maximise the revenue from fines to cover the enormous cost of introducing the scheme.
Decriminalised parking means that offenders will not be pursued through the magistrates' courts as part of the criminal justice system, but fines will be enforced through the county courts as civil debt. Local councils will hold onto the fines imposed, rather than central government.
But the cost of bringing in the new system would put a financial strain on Kennet District Council. Government grants would be available for some of the Ł269,000 start up costs but not for the estimated Ł210,000 running costs in future years.
A report to the county council by consultants RTA Associates, seen by Kennet councillors in May, showed a healthy surplus to Kennet every year, but only if there were 9,830 penalty charge tickets issued. Currently Kennet issues about 4,000 a year.
Coun Ody said: "One of the greatest assets of our towns is the relaxed, friendly and non-confrontational relationship between motorists and parking wardens.
"If we move to decriminalised parking, a high-pressure regime of impersonal penalty enforcement will be introduced, for revenue and commercial reasons, which will destroy the amiable mood which we now enjoy in our streets."
A spokesman said that Wiltshire County Council is hoping to apply for decriminalising parking by the end of the year and to have a scheme in place by 2006. But the county would only proceed if the district councils agreed.
