Making The Switch
in Search Engine Marketing | Comments Off
Having been exposed mainly to social media trends and statistical information, the latest yays and nays of the whole social media platform and the likes, and now seeing how its mandatory to learn and understand new terms like placements, CPC, CPM, bids, keywords, adwords, how this whole SEM system work– is basically a whole new ball game for me altogether.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Pastoral Council. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2011. |
In American Roman Catholic parishes, the parish council arose after Vatican II in the new era of lay participation in parish decision making. It was a response to the Vatican II Decree on the Apostolate of Lay People (Apostolicam actuositatem, par. 26). This decree, published in 1965, recommended the establishment of councils at all levels of the Catholic Church (including the parish) with one purpose, namely, to assist in the Church's "apostolate" or mission. The decree also said that such apostolic councils "may coordinate" lay initiatives, so long as they do not interfere with the autonomy of such initiatives. Many Catholics throughout the world interpreted the decree as calling for parish councils that would coordinate parish committees or commissions. This was the genesis of the "parish council".
In 1984, the revised Code of Canon Law was published. It did not refer to par. 26 of the Decree on the Laity, nor did it speak of "apostolic" councils or "parish councils" per se. Instead, in canon 536, it recommended (but did not mandate) "pastoral" councils at the parish level [see the article on "pastoral" councils].
The idea of the "pastoral" council had its genesis in the 1965 Vatican II Decree on Bishops (Christus Dominus, par. 27). This decree recommended "pastoral" councils at the diocesan level (but not at the parish level). Canon 536 applied the "pastoral" council idea to parishes. The "pastoral" council (according to the decree) has a threefold purpose. It (1) investigates pastoral matters, (2) ponders or reflects on them, and (3) reaches conclusions, conclusions that are recommended to the pastor. When the new Code was promulgated, it clarified the identity of what had hitherto been called the "parish" councils. These councils were now "parish pastoral" councils with a "consultative only" vote.
Canon 536 (which recommends parish pastoral councils) defines the purpose of councils in an extremely brief way. It says that they "give their help in fostering parish activity." Canon 536 does not mention the threefold task of the pastoral council – the task of investigating, reflecting, and reaching conclusions – but canon 511 does (in a reference to diocesan pastoral councils).
Four other Vatican documents define the "pastoral" councils in terms of this threefold task (Paul VI, "Ecclesiae Sanctae I," no. 16; the 1971 Synod of Bishops' "The Ministerial Priesthood," art 2, II, section 3; the 1973 "Directory on the Pastoral Ministry of Bishops," no. 204; and the 1973 "Circular Letter on 'Pastoral Councils'" by the Sacred Congregation for the Clergy, no 9). Those who read canon 536 without referring to these other Vatican documents that speak of the "pastoral" council may not realize that investigating, pondering, and reaching conclusions is precisely what defines the pastoral council.
It is an understandable mistake to distinguish parish councils from parish pastoral councils, as if the two were separate parish entities. The first parish councils were, properly speaking, "apostolate" councils of the type recommended in the Decree on Laity, par. 26. When the Code of Canon Law was revised, it did not refer to apostolate councils, but called for pastoral councils.
Those who do not know about the development of the "pastoral" council idea in the Vatican documents of 1971, 1973, and 1984 may mistakenly believe that the "parish" councils that emerged immediately after Vatican II are separate from pastoral councils. They may wrongly suppose that "parish" councils are bureaucratically structured decision making bodies, independent of the pastor, that oversee such parish matters as the annual plan, schedule and budget, capital improvements, and the like. But councils do not make decisions independently of the pastor and have a consultative vote only.
The so-called "parish" council idea has developed and is now more precisely referred to as the "parish pastoral council." Pastors may establish these councils and consult them to achieve a threefold purpose -- namely, to investigate some aspect of the pastoral situation, reflect about it, and recommend conclusions.

Comedian Ricky Cruz on Charlie's Angels, Patrice O'Neal, and Miami Posers
Categories: Comedy
New Times: How was your 2011?
Ricky Cruz: Twenty-eleven was great. I celebrated my 13th year in the business and had some amazing opportunities in film and television. I got to work with Tom Cruise for two months on Rock of Ages and had a co-starring role on the now cancelled Charlies Angels. Bummer it was canceled, but still cool to have a small part in an iconic series. Stand-up was steady. I continued working in great clubs nationwide with some cool cats. Sorry one of my favorite guys to work with, Patrice O'Neal, passed away. He was amazing to watch work. RIP, buddy.
What was the best comedy film in 2011?
Horrible Bosses without a doubt. F'ing hilarious. We've all been there, working some job we hate for some clown that gets off on riding you.
Who was the best national comic you opened up for in 2011?
Patrice O'Neal. We did a couple of weeks together. He was just a giant, never compromising what he believed. He definitely wasn't trying to be a crowdpleaser, which I love. So many of us forget that. It's not about what they want you to talk about, it's about what you want to talk about. I love it.
What's the best venue for comedy in Miami?
For me it's still the Miami Improv, but I tell you, it's not like the old days. When I started out it was the one game in town. Now there's this indie movement of young comics who open rooms in bars, restaurants, or wherever they can. Forrest Shaw has a spot in downtown that's a blast at Elwoods pub. Also, it's always fun at the Comedy Inn.
Would you move to LA or NY if they called?
I lived in LA for five years. I love it out there. Me and my wife moved back to raise our kids close to family. I've been fortunate that although I live down here, I still get around for work. I would definitely move back but I would also miss hitting Publix on Sunday mornings for that Cuban bread. Got to have it, baby.
What's the funniest thing about Miami?
Funniest thing about Miami is grown men acting all big-time with the chain, and the car, walking around with their paycheck in their pocket but living at home with mami and papi.
Are comedians fun to hang out with?
Comedians are like pit bulls: If you socialize them at a young age, you can take them to the park and they play nice. If not, it's a nuisance.
What advice would you give to aspiring comedians?
Get on stage as much as possible. Be original. Take lots of chances, explore all sides of your creativity and eventually "you" will come out. Oh yeah, and don't be annoying. Nothing will make experienced comics not want to work with you more then trying to work bits into conversation in the green room, or saying you're a headliner because you closed a show at some podunk chuckle hut, have a gang of Facebook friends, but only have two minutes of material. Gross. Stay hungry and original.
Fill in the blank: "Miami is so..."
...small. I love it, though. It has a big city feel, everybody knows us worldwide, but it's really like a small town where you're one or two degrees separated from anyone in the city.
Catch Ricky Cruz live at a one-night only performance Saturday, January 7th at the Area Stage Theatre. Shows are at 8 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. Tickets start at $10. For more info visit havenotscomedy.com.

"It was very funny," the French actor tells USA TODAY's Donna Freydkin through an interpreter. "It was immediate and instantaneous."
The film dazzled audiences in Cannes back in May, with Dujardin's performance as an arrogant silent movie star earning accolades. On Wednesday, he picked up a Screen Actors Guild nomination. "I feel like a spoiled child. I'm very proud. It all started from one man's idea and this film makes everyone happy," he says.
His most surreal moment so far? Meeting fellow nominee George Clooney at the Hollywood film festival, backstage. "It felt like an out-of-body experience. He'd seen The Artist and loved it and congratulated me for it. He was very elegant," says Dujardin.
Dujardin is home in France, and tonight will celebrate with his wife by drinking "a very expensive French wine."
"I'm confused. I can't believe it, really. Yesterday the American actors recognized me. I'm over the moon. I can't say anything. Till I'm sitting there, I won't believe it. We worked so hard and now we're here," the actress tells USA TODAY's Donna Freydkin. Her film has wowed audiences since Cannes. "Most people haven't seen a silent movie in their life. You can't hear any noise, any dialogue. You just focus on the faces. It takes you back to being a little child. It's something so simple and so full of joy. It fills you full of dreams and love and life back in that time," she says.Given Bejo's tap-dancing finesse in the film, any chance of her appearing on Dancing With the Stars? "No, I don't think so. I'm not a good dancer. I just know this kind of dancing and that's it," she says. She'll be on cloud nine later today, quite literally. "I'm going back home today. I'll spend the weekend with my kids and my family and do the Christmas tree and have a glass of wine. I can't wait to see my friends' faces. I'm going home today and I have a Golden Globe nomination," says the Paris-based actress.
Laura Dern earned a Golden Globe nomination for best actress in a TV musical or comedy for her role in HBO's Enlightened."I am so thrilled and grateful for the support for our show Enlightened by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association," the actress, 44, wrote in a statement. "This has been such an incredible character to play, with an amazing cast, extraordinary writing, and of course only made possible by the team at our fearless, HBO home."
Branagh is in Santa Monica with his wife. "This morning we walked along the beachfront. We love being by the water. Yesterday, we came from Sweden, where I was filming Wallander for the BBC," he says. "We've been in the dark and the wet and wind of Sweden. We're going to enjoy a day in the sunshine. It feels like that from a career point of view. It's so rare to have this kind of attention -- 30 years into doing this, you appreciate it so much."Has he spoken to his Marilyn, Michelle Williams? "Everyone's on the phone with everyone's else. I'll catch up with Michelle. It was no surprise to me that she was nominated. She takes nothing for granted. She worked so hard and is a remarkable girl. She stayed so sane," he says.
Actors Emily Mortimer, left, and Asa Butterfield listen to director Martin Scorsese, 69, on the set of Hugo.
"Making Hugo was an extraordinary experience for me," Scorsese says in a statement. "It gave me a chance to work in 3-D, which I've wanted to do since I was young; it allowed me to make a child's adventure, the type of picture that I loved when I was young; and it provided an occasion to pay tribute to one of the cinema's greatest pioneers, Georges Méliès. Given the support they've provided to The Film Foundation in our efforts to restore many films over the years, the recognition of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this particular picture has a very special meaning for me."
Angelina Jolie directs soldiers on the set of In the Land of Blood and Honey. The film, Jolie's directorial debut, was nominated for best foreign-language film.
"I am grateful that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is honoring our film," Jolie says in a statement. "This was a true collaboration and I am forever indebted to our cast and crew, who experienced their own personal tragedies in the Bosnian War and gave me an authentic perspective into the conflict. This nomination is a tribute to the collective talent and passion of this extraordinary cast."
Moneyball star Jonah Hill, 27, is having the best week ever – and that's no exaggeration.
"Between today and yesterday this is quite a week," he tells USA TODAY's Arienne Thompson of his back-to-back Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globes nominations. "I really can't even talk very well right now. I've been doing these interviews, but I'm having such a hard time articulating the feelings that I'm having. What's going to happen tomorrow? I'm going to find 20 bucks in my old jeans tomorrow and it's going to be amazing!"
The best supporting actor nominee chatted with his Moneyball co-star Brad Pitt on Wednesday after the SAG nominations were announced, but Hill says the unlikely duo is long overdue for some quality bro time. "We were just laughing at how far it's been from the table reads to now. We see each other three or four times a month now, but it's always for Q&As. We haven't hung out for a non-Moneyball event in months. We need to actually just celebrate and have some drinks and a laugh. It's been a really nice experience of bonding (with him). I really respect that guy." Hill says he'll celebrate on Friday when he wraps filming for the week on Neighborhood Watch, a comedy he's shooting with Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. When told he has an enviable life at the moment, Hill, gracious and sincerely overwhelmed, simply replies, "I don't want you to be jealous of me, but I don't know what to say; everything just kind of seems like I'm in a dream."
Zooey Deschanel, 31, is thrilled to be the new girl. The first-time nominee for best actress in a television comedy is up against award show vets like Laura Linney and Tina Fey.
"All the women in my category are total heroes of mine," she tells USA TODAY's Lindsay Deutsch, calling while driving to The New Girl set for another day at work.
"It's going to be a good day, to say the least. I wasn't expecting it; this is the best-case scenario," she says. The New Girl is also nominated for best television comedy. Deschanel says her role as bubbly, whimsical Jessica Day on the Fox sitcom is "the most creatively fulfilling and best job I've ever had."
"I love playing a unique character on a comedy that's not about jokes, but about the characters. It's so rare," she says.
Deschanel called her parents first after finding out an hour after the nominations were released. "I had my phone on silent and deliberately set my alarm late, so I was sleeping while I got 'the call' from my manager, Lauren (Meriwether, the show's creator), my publicist and my agent. I just feel so, so lucky."
The 37-year-old best actor nominee is filming The Great Gatsby in Australia, but sent his thanks for the nomination via a statement.
"I'm honored to be nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association today. I was extremely humbled to work alongside Clint (Eastwood) and the entire cast of J. Edgar, and am very excited to be recognized for my work on the film. Thank you."
The Nine Inch Nails frontman, 46, is seeing his collaboration with director David Fincher pay off once again.
Reznor won the Oscar for best original score last year for Fincher's The Social Network, and was nominated this morning for a Golden Globe in the same category. Reznor and fellow composer Atticus Ross released this statement acknowledging the honor:
"We're incredibly flattered to receive a Golden Globe nomination for our work on The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. We spent the last year immersed in this project contributing to David Fincher's vision and in awe of the talented group of people he assembled to make this film. Atticus and I would like to thank the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press for this gracious acknowledgement of our work."
Seth Rogen is still getting used to the term award recognition. "I have never thought I would be the type of guy to make movies that get nominated for these kinds of awards. This kind of day has been irrelevant for me for the last six years," Rogen tells USA TODAY's Bryan Alexander.
The comic actor, 28, starred in and produced 50/50, which was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical.
"This is my first real nomination of any kind," he says. "I'm not sure if you're familiar with my films."
Even with critical raves for 50/50, Rogen wasn't counting on getting nominated for the film and slept in Thursday morning. "I thought someone died when my phone first rang," says Rogen. "I wasn't up. It seemed silly to wake up early and be disappointed. I just slept."
He even had his cellphone off. His publicist finally reached Rogen on his home phone. "He's the only one that has my home phone number," says Rogen. "I was thrilled. But I did ask if I could go back to sleep for a few hours. He said no."
"Sleep is very important to me," he says.
The award nomination is vindication for his friend Will Reiser's triumphant cancer battle, which is the subject of the film. "I didn't say it at the time, but in the back of my head I was worried we were taking our friend's really trying experience and making a terrible movie out of it," says Rogen. "So it's really nice we convinced him to put himself out there and people actually like it. It's really exciting and crazy."
"It's crazytown! I'm so excited," The Descendants star Shailene Woodley, 20, tells USA TODAY's Andrea Mandell about receiving her first Golden Globe nomination for best actress in a supporting role. The Los Angeles resident admitted she was up at the crack of dawn for nominations. "I woke up around 5:30 and I got a phone call from friends."
The young star, who plays Clooney's rebellious daughter in the acclaimed film (up for best drama), is still processing all of the red carpets and awards attention she has been exposed to in the past few months.
"It's definitely surreal," she said. "I don't know if it's hit me yet, I don't know if it ever will. It's such an amazing experience. I've never been through anything like this before. I'm learning as I'm going. I'm so blessed to have Fox Searchlight and Alexander Payne and George Clooney and Judy Greer holding my hand along the way."
So, any advice from co-star (and red carpet pro) Clooney? "I don't know if he's given me advice about coping, but he's given me advice about the politics of this industry and how important it is to remain who you are and not get wrapped up in everything," she says. "I think it's great advice, and I think it's so true. I think it's easy to kind of lose yourself when there's so hype around you going on but at the end of the day you're the one who has to live with you, so it's important to stay true and centered."
Talented and modest? Straight from the Clooney School of Charm, indeed.
About to sing Happy Birthday to his 14-year-old daughter, Maude, Judd Apatow got an e-mail that Bridesmaids had been nominated for best comedy. What did he do? "I didn't mention it, because I can't interfere with the birthday festivities," the laid-back dad of two tells USA TODAY's Andrea Mandell. "It would be wrong."
The Bridesmaids producer credited the movie's success to the "heartfelt" story underneath the raunchy summer comedy, which has racked up more than $169 million at the box office. "(Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo) wrote a beautiful story and then they made it as funny as they could," he said. "But people connect to it because it's about friendship and someone who's going through a hard time and trying to get out of her rut, and I think it resonates with people."
He called Wiig (nominated for best actress in a comedy or musical) "a very special talent. That's why I begged her to try and write a movie for herself." But was scene-stealer Melissa McCarthy snubbed? Apatow thinks the Emmy winner may have been lost in the shuffle of comedy actress voting, "but it doesn't necessarily mean anything in the long haul."
With the Globe nomination in hand, Apatow admits he'd like to see Bridesmaids walk down the aisle again in a sequel. "I'm a TV guy, I want there to be 80 episodes of everything," he said. "I think everyone's open to it if we can think of an idea for it that's better than the first one, which is a difficult thing to do." But first up is Girls, his new HBO comedy starting in April. Despite early comparisons to Sex and the City, Apatow says, "It's about women trying to survive in New York in the years right after college. It is similar to Sex and the City."
Director Tate Taylor is tucked away on Martha's Vineyard working on his next movie adaptation with a serious deadline -- awards season. "I have to finish before January because we both know I am going to be putting on a bunch of tuxedoes and dress shirts," he tells USA TODAY's Bryan Alexander. "I have to get ready for that."
Thursday's best picture - drama Golden Globe nomination for The Help offers another opportunity to pull out the tux. Taylor, 42, watched the nominations on the Today show and admits to pulling a slightly embarrassing exclamation when he heard the The Help was nominated.
"I think my hand went there, I think I did a cheesy fist pump in the air," he says. "My dog was the only witness."
But the long road for The Help -- from childhood friend Kathryn Stockett's novel sensation to making the movie with DreamWorks -- is a story worthy of exuberance.
"Best picture!" Taylor exclaims. "Are you kidding me? I don't think it's hit me."
"It is surreal," he adds. "I talked to Kathryn and it's just nuts. It was her book, nobody wanted it, and a director no one wanted. And then DreamWorks steps up and I get to put my friends in a movie."
He's especially excited for longtime friend Octavia Spencer, who was nominated for best supporting actress. The two met as assistants on a movie set and moved to Los Angeles together.
"We have been through it all," says Taylor. "I put her in my little movie that has become a big movie. It just feels so good."
English actress Janet McTeer, 50, found out she'd been nominated for best supporting actress the new-fashioned way - via text. "I borrowed somebody's glasses to make sure I'd read it right," McTeer tells USA TODAY's Andrea Mandell, calling in from Luxembourg where she just wrapped a German film.
McTeer's publicist warned her phone would ring off the hook, so when a call came through, McTeer picked up excitedly. "The phone rang and I said 'Hello!' And it was my dentist to tell me I owed him $36," she laughed. "So much for glamour." But on a more serious note, McTeer says she feels lucky to have been apart of Albert Nobbs. "We were just very lucky we managed to get through filming it and raise the money to finish filming. It was such a tiny little film."
A piece of Golden Globes trivia for TV fans? McTeer is joining her fellow Albert Nobbs nominee (and close friend) Glenn Close on this season of Damages. Her role? "If I told you that, I'd have to kill you," she joked. She hadn't had a chance to talk to Close yet, "but we've managed to text," she said. "We're very good friends. I can't tell you how happy I am that she's nominated. She worked so hard to get this film made."
On to the important stuff: What will she wear? "I'm hoping that Glenn will join me and just wear pajamas but I greatly doubt it," said the Brit. "I have absolutely no idea, but I can tell you what, it will be over a set of Spanx."
Director Gore Verbinski, 47, deep into pre-production for his newest film The Lone Ranger, can't stop beaming about the nomination for his movie Rango in the animated film category.
"I had a pretty normal morning. I came downstairs for my job and my wife stopped me, said "congratulations," and handed me a wonderful cup of coffee. Then I ran through the trees with the hugest smile on my face," he tells USA TODAY's Lindsay Deutsch, walking in circles in his Los Angeles backyard, saying this phone interview will be the "quietest part of his day."
Rango, starring Johnny Depp as a lizard that convinces a Nevada town to make him sheriff, pays homage to Hunter S. Thompson and pushes the limits of a PG-rated animated movie. "For me, it means working with friends, it means family," he says of the three-and-a-half year process, the first 18 months working from his home. But for the Pirates of the Caribbean director, it's back to work on big-budget Lone Ranger, which is six weeks out from shooting. "Today, I'm going to stand on top of trains at 40 mph and take some photos and do some lighting tests. I'll breathe smoke from a smokestack, be sweaty and dirty, and will continue to smile with bugs in my teeth."
On Wednesday morning, Albert Brooks got up early and watched the SAG Award nominations. Big mistake. He didn't get the nod for his critically-lauded role in Drive.
"Look what happened!" he says comically to USA TODAY's Bryan Alexander. "I figured it must have been bad luck to watch."
So for Thursday's Golden Globe nominations, Brooks insisted on NOT tuning in. "I unplugged the phone and slept in," he says. "My phone is still going beep, beep, beep with messages from people calling me. I don't even know how many there are."Brooks, 64, was nominated for best supporting actor as Drive's brutal gangster. The actor, famed for his comedies and often neurotic characters, displays a violent-side in Drive which he calls "appropriate" for the stylized film."But I'm thinking about re-making all my comedies with a murder now," says Brooks. "When Call of Duty sells a billion copies, it's clear what people want."
Brooks has got some big decisions ahead as well, like whether to sleep in for the next award nomination program.
"What do we have left, the Oscars?" he muses. "I got up for one and I get snubbed. Ballplayers have luck, they wear certain shoes or whatever. Maybe I shouldn't watch these things live."
Director Steven Spielberg, center, gets in the middle of the action during the filming of War Horse. He and DreamWorks co-chairman Stacey Snider said in a statement they are "thrilled" by the nominations of both War Horse and The Help.
"We are so proud of The Help and War Horse, we believe in telling good stories and we thank the HFPA for recognizing what we saw in them and what audiences have embraced in The Help and what we hope they will experience with War Horse when it opens."
Octavia Spencer has found there are hazards associated with her Golden Globe supporting actress nomination for The Help - like excessive smiling.The actress, 39, was beaming so broadly on Thursday morning that she had trouble completing phone calls."I'm smiling so big right now that it keeps clicking off the phone," she tells USA TODAY's Bryan Alexander. "Really, it's true." (As proof, it took her three aborted attempts to complete this call).
Spencer recorded the nomination ceremony, but avoided watching it live. "I want to hear them read my name off at some point, but I did not want to be sitting there hoping my name would be called."But she was not able to sleep due to the nerves. "And when my phone wasn't ringing I figured I didn't get (the nomination)," she says. "Lord I wish my publicist told me that they started late. I was about to buy three pairs of very expensive Christian Louboutin boots as retail therapy. I couldn't have walked in those heels anyway. That's how ridiculous it was."When the nomination-affirming call came in she let out one word."Ahhhhhhhhhhh," she screams. "I cannot even do it now because my mouth is so hoarse. But that was my reaction."Spencer is looking forward to attending the awards programs with her ensemble cast which included fellow Globe nominees Viola Davis and Jessica Chastain. "This is the most selfless group of people I have ever had the opportunity to work with," says Spencer. "Lifelong friendships have been formed. It's a wonderful thing that we're going on this wonderful journey together."This journey could lead to an Oscar nomination."If Oscar happens, I will be thrilled," she says. "But I am just going to enjoy this moment right now."
Elton John admits he was "puttering around the house" with his one-year-old son Zachary when he received the surprise news from partner David Furnish about his Golden Globe nomination."I didn't even know they were coming out today to be honest with you," John, 64, tells USA TODAY's Bryan Alexander. "It was a complete surprise when David called me and said, 'Listen, we have a Golden Globe nomination!' It's fantastic."Hello, Hello from Gnomeo and Juliet was nominated for best original song. John wrote the music for the song and longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics. Each have their own Golden Globe awards for past projects (for John it was for Can You Feel the Love Tonight from 1994's The Lion King)."But we have never been nominated for anything together," says John. "So this is a first for us. It's very nice. I contacted Bernie who's actually at Disneyland and he's thrilled."It's the cap of a phenomenal 2011 for Gnomeo's executive producer, who is about to celebrate Zachary's first birthday."It's been the best year for me," says John. "I've adopted a son, I've done 134 shows, I've opened in Vegas which was a huge success, as was Gnomeo and Juliet."
"This is just the icing on the cake."
Rooney Mara, 26, just scored her first best actress Golden Globe nomination for playing troubled hacker Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
At an interview on Thursday afternoon, she seemed a little stunned, and tells USA TODAY's Donna Freydkin she's still getting used to the attention and having to talk about herself so much. Has it sunk in yet, how many people will likely turn out to see her as the iconic character who helps stop a serial killer?
"No, not really. Hopefully a lot of people will see it," she says.
Her costar Daniel Craig pointed out that the Globe nom was "a big deal." What did the recognition mean to Mara? "We worked so hard on this movie. So many people worked hard on this movie. I've never had an experience like this. It's nice for people to appreciate that," she says.
Actress Emily Watson was taking on some "very important matters" when the call came in telling her about her Golden Globe nomination for the television movie Appropriate Adult.
"I was buying Christmas gifts for my children when my agent called," the London-based actress, 44, tells USA TODAY's Bryan Alexander. "It was at this really dodgy discount store where they pile toys to the ceiling. It was the only place I could find this one must-have gift for my daughter."
The notice that she was up for the best actress award was quite a surprise for the project. Appropriate Adults has caused a stir in the United Kingdom with its depiction of the convicted serial killer Frederic West (played by actor Dominic West), but the critically-acclaimed drama has not had a huge impact in the U.S.
"It only aired five days ago on December 10 and it's on the Sundance Channel which doesn't have the heft of some of the major channels. So this is just really great, an honor."
"I am just chuffed to bits, I wasn't expecting this at all," she says.
In Watson's mind, it makes the project all the more worthwhile even with the controversy.
"This is such a sensitive subject matter here, it's understandable, but this is a nice vindication for the piece," she says.
Watson also stars in War Horse, which was nominated for a best picture award.

Date: | 1960-1975 |
Description: | Redwine Methodist Church. Photograph showing the historic Redwine Methodist Church, located on Poplar Springs Road. The road was established as a brush arbor in the 1840s. The church was named for the William "Buck" Redwine family, who gave 40 acres of land in 1845 on which to build the first church. The Redwine family had moved to Hall County around 1827. There is no record of what happened to the first Redwine church building. The second church building was contructed in 1891 and has been remodeled and added onto several times since. On July 26, 1861 eighty-four men organized Company D, of the 27th Georgia Infantry at Redwine Methodist Church. A monument has been erected in the church yard in memory of these brave men.

8:00 PM ET, November 9, 2013
Scottrade Center, Saint Louis, Missouri
ST. LOUIS -- Kevin Shattenkirk didn't know if the puck was tipped or not. The defenseman didn't care much, either.
The bottom line for Shattenkirk and the Blues was that his shot helped them win a hockey game.
Shattenkirk's first goal of the season midway through the third period sent St. Louis to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night.
Shattenkirk's wrist shot from the right point got through traffic at 10:52 of the third period. Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury got a piece of the puck but it trickled into the net to break a 1-all tie.
"It was a great play," said Shattenkirk, who extended his point streak to eight games. "Our forwards did a great job keeping the puck alive. Get a D-to-D pass from (Barret Jackman) and throw it to the net.
"We still don't know" if the puck was tipped by Vladimir Tarasenko, who was screening Fleury. "We think someone might have tipped it, but for now, I'll take it."
Ryan Reaves also scored for St. Louis and Jaroslav Halak stopped 19 shots as the Blues won for the 11th time in 15 games to start the season. It's the first time they've done that since 2003-04, also the best start in franchise history.
"I think Pittsburgh's competitiveness made us play 60 minutes," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "I thought we got stronger and stronger as the game went on. Our third period was our best. Our second was awfully good, too."
It was St. Louis' first regulation victory against the Penguins since a 4-1 win Dec. 19, 2006, in Pittsburgh.
"I thought we played a really smart, strong, hard hockey game. Both teams competed at a very high level," Hitchcock said. "It was a playoff game and we scored the big goal in the third period, but we played a heck of a third period."
Jussi Jokinen scored and Fleury made 30 saves for the Penguins, who have dropped two straight after a four-game winning streak. The 20 shots were a season low for Pittsburgh.
"They are probably the best in the league playing this defensive-minded, checking game," Jokinen said of the Blues. "We still generated enough chances to score three or four goals, but we didn't bury those chances."
Reaves scored the first goal of the game and the 11th of his career when he redirected Maxim Lapierre's centering feed past Fleury 2:52 into the second period.
"I don't think anyone really knew I was coming on the ice," Reaves said. "It was a late change. He had some good patience to see me backdoor and just a great pass."
The Penguins were able to get the equalizer when Jokinen, parked in the slot, redirected Evgeni Malkin's centering feed from the right circle 8:06 into the second. Roman Polak was serving an interference penalty for the Blues.
"The game was almost as expected -- the tightness of the game and the matchups," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "There wasn't a lot out there."
Shattenkirk and Chris Stewart gave the Blues their best scoring chances in the first period. Shattenkirk's shot from the right circle was stopped by Fleury 5:33 into the game. Stewart missed on a backhand at the side of the Pittsburgh net after getting a pass from Patrik Berglund with 8:33 left in the first period.
Halak was up to the task for the Blues in the first, stopping Chris Kunitz's one-time snap shot of Sidney Crosby's no-look pass with 10:17 remaining. Halak then had Crosby barreling down on him from the left side after T.J Oshie's turnover, but the Blues' goalie made a save with his right arm as Crosby tried going high on the short side with 3:45 remaining in the opening period.
Fleury preserved a 1-all tie by stopping Oshie with 16:15 remaining, then getting a shoulder on David Backes' one-timer after Oshie's feed with 10:45 to play.
Fleury flashed his glove on Alexander Steen's wrister with 5:14 left off a 2-on-1 to keep the Penguins within a goal at 2-1.
But he lamented the fact that he didn't see Shattenkirk's shot get through.
"I don't know. I've got to see it again," Fleury said. "Who got the goal? Was the guy in front? I want to see it again."
The Blues don't care. All that mattered to them is that it went in.
"We'll see when we wake up tomorrow," Shattenkirk said. "Either way, it was a good effort there by everyone to open up that opportunity. I think the hard work that we had through the entire third period is what led to that goal."
Game notes
The Blues are one of four teams that haven't allowed a goal to Crosby in his career. The others are San Jose, Edmonton and Chicago. ... Blues D Jordan Leopold (hand) missed his first game of the season. Penguins D Paul Martin (undisclosed) also missed his first game with an injury. Penguins RW James Neal (upper body) returned after missing 15 games. RW Beau Bennett (lower body) returned after missing 11 games. ... The teams' previous meeting was Jan. 24, 2012, a 3-2 shootout victory for the Penguins. ... Reaves and Penguins D Deryk Engelland fought 3 seconds into the game.

That's excatly what I'm planning to do NOW :D
I will give it another shot. At the same time, my dad's gonna come back to its (my) beloved HE-4 and will decide which one he wishes to keep.
I unlocked his Cowon J3 to full volume (that was his main concern: he could not play loud enough even with +20dB on the M-Stage) so he can drive it loud enough now.
He's no audiophile but he's spot on when he describes the sound of both: one is dark, the other airy ^^

Joyce to challenge Windsor in New England
PUBLISHED: 13 Apr 2013 14:33:57 | UPDATED: 14 Apr 2013 07:58:48PRINT EDITION: 13 Apr 2013Barnaby Joyce says his tilt against federal independent MP Tony Windsor, who holds his regional NSW seat with a margin of 21 per cent, will be a "momentous struggle". Photo: Tim Barnsley
Senator Barnaby Joyce is the Nationals' choice to take on federal independent MP Tony Windsor for the NSW seat of New England.
Senator Joyce was the favourite to win the preselection race against 34-year-old software entrepreneur David Gregory.
NSW Nationals MP Niall Blair, who was chairing the preselection in Tamworth, said on Twitter that the ballot closed about 1pm (AEST).
Mr Blair then announced Senator Joyce as the victor.
Earlier on Saturday the senator told the ABC he was confident of a win at the party level but that his tilt against Mr Windsor, who holds his regional NSW seat with a margin of 21 per cent, would be a "momentous struggle".
Senator Joyce will now have to resign from the Senate by the time writs are issued for the September 14 election, and the Queensland Liberal Nationals will have to find a replacement for the Senate vacancy.
In a statement, the Nationals said their local rank and file had "overwhelmingly" endorsed Senator Joyce.
Mr Blair said the senator's willingness to leave his Queensland senate seat demonstrated his commitment to the New England region.
"Barnaby is leaving a safe seat in the Senate to represent the area in which he grew up, against a four-term MP who has the full support of the Labor government," he said.
"They don't come much more committed than that."
He said Senator Joyce, who grew up and went to university in the New England region, had strong networks across the electorate and was "relishing" the opportunity to get back to his roots.
Nationals leader Warren Truss said the seat would play a crucial role in the coalition's bid to depose the federal government in September.
"Despite his so-called independent label, Tony Windsor has been in lock-step with Julia Gillard since forming their unholy alliance three long years ago," Mr Truss said.
"He shares responsibility for all of Labor's bungles, scandals and waste over that time, including the carbon and mining tax fiascos which he wholeheartedly supported."

Negative Even Numbers
Name: Laura Status: student Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Is -2 an even number?
Yes, Laura, -2 is an even number. An even number must be integrally divisible by 2. That means, when you divide it by 2 you get an integer: a whole number with no fractional part. -2 divided by 2 is -1 and since -1 is an integer, you can see that -2 fits the definition.
Eric Hagedorn
Yes, an even integer is an integer that is twice another integer. For example, 6, 0 and -2 are even, since 6 is twice 3, 0 is twice 0 and -2 is twice -1.
R. Paul Beem
-2 is an even number. It is 2 times an integer, since -1 qualifies as an integer.
Dr. Ken Mellendorf
Physics Instructor
Illinois Central College
The definition of an "even" number is that the number is divisible by "2" without a remainder. Mathematicians would write an even number: E = (2xN). Then E is always divisible by "2". The definition applies to all integers, positive and negative, including 0. You can find more details at:

Murder Your Darlings
Sunday, June 01, 2008
Ungracious author responses to criticism are doing the rounds on the blogs again. Especially the rampage Adra Steia had in the comments section at Book Binge.
What strikes me most is the author's suggestion that criticising a book is like criticising some one's baby. I have made the comparison in jest myself. But the fact is Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch's advice applies as much today as it ever did: murder your darlings. If your book feels like a baby then it may be a red flag about that author.
Of course emotional responses happen. And I must say I think the counter-attacks on blogs are basically author-baiting. This does introduce a level of 'be sure not to slip on the banana skin I thoughtfully placed in front of you'. But it does also demonstrate that ungracious responses do escalate the bad press.
After all, if you insult some one's baby they will probably walk away, not hit you with their handbag--if only to protect the baby from the ensuing scuffle.

SPRINGFIELD--A gift of $100,000 to the Papers of Abraham Lincoln honors Cullom Davis, professor emeritus of history at the University of Illinois Springfield. From 1988 to 2000, Davis served as editor and director of the Lincoln Legal Papers, which later expanded into the Papers of Abraham Lincoln.
The anonymous gift will provide support for this long-term documentary editing project. Staff at the Papers of Abraham Lincoln are dedicated to identifying, imaging, transcribing, annotating, and publishing all documents written by or to Abraham Lincoln during his lifetime (1809-1865). The collection will be published on the internet and available free of charge. The Papers of Abraham Lincoln is part of the UIS Center for State Policy and Leadership.
"I am delighted with this gift that honors my predecessor, advisor, and friend Cullom Davis," said current editor and director Daniel W. Stowell. "To paraphrase the subject of our project, it is altogether fitting and proper that this gift recognizes Cullom's achievements. Our work on the Lincoln papers is indeed a great task that Cullom nobly advanced, and we are pleased to carry on the work that he began."

Papers of Abraham Lincoln collection adds letters located at University of Alabama
August 11, 2014
SPRINGFIELD – The Papers of Abraham Lincoln announced that it has scanned two previously unknown Lincoln documents from the A. S. Williams III Americana Collection at The University of Alabama Libraries in Tuscaloosa.
The first is a letter to Lincoln's former secretary of war, Simon Cameron, written on Nov. 6, 1863. The letter concerns a series of treason cases against prominent Baltimore officials. Cameron had imprisoned many of them during his time in Lincoln's cabinet, and in turn, several of them had sued him in federal court for false imprisonment. Cameron wrote to Lincoln urging the president to press the treason trials to demonstrate the government's intolerance for treason and to help Cameron's case.
Lincoln responded that he had sent an attorney to Baltimore to investigate the matter and had learned that the judge did not want to proceed without the presence of the Supreme Court justice responsible for Maryland's federal circuit.
Papers of Abraham Lincoln finds political motive behind cryptic note with missing section
March 8, 2014
SPRINGFIELD – The note is scrawled in Abraham Lincoln's distinctive hand and carries his signature, but little else is clear. When was it written and to whom? What are the views that Lincoln wants to know more about? And, above all, why was a key name cut out of the note?
Historians at the Papers of Abraham Lincoln believe they've solved the riddle of this new Lincoln document. It was a note asking one of Lincoln's allies to maintain a secret relationship with a notorious political insider during the election of 1860.
Manuscript dealer David Lowenherz of Lion Heart Autographs, Inc., in New York City recently contacted the Papers of Abraham Lincoln about the document, which says:
My dear Sir,
I thank you for the copy of [clipped section] If you can keep up a correspondence with him without much effort, it will be well enough. I like to know his views occasionally.
Yours in haste

Papers of Abraham Lincoln determines who wrote mouse-eaten letter found in walls of Lincoln home
January 3, 2014
SPRINGFIELD – More than 25 years ago, workers repairing Abraham Lincoln's former home found part of a letter in the walls. Although stained by time and damaged by mice, the letter had clearly been sent to the future president in 1846. But just who had written it was a mystery.
Not anymore. The Papers of Abraham Lincoln, thanks to research by Associate Editor Stacy Pratt McDermott, has discovered the letter was written by Andrew Johnston, a newspaper editor, lawyer and fan of Lincoln's poetry.
McDermott compared the handwriting on the letter found in Lincoln's home to another letter Johnston wrote to Lincoln in 1865 and to a note Johnston wrote in 1872 on an old letter from Lincoln. The handwriting was a perfect match.
"Discovering the identity of the author and connecting the letter to a part of Lincoln's life about which we know very little illustrates the importance of the editing work we are doing at the Papers of Abraham Lincoln, and it is an example of why I love my job," McDermott said.

Images obtained by Papers of Abraham Lincoln include 1861 letter granting San Marino citizenship to Lincoln
December 9, 2013
SPRINGFIELD – Even the world's oldest and smallest republic shares in Abraham Lincoln's legacy. Two Lincoln-related documents – including one granting citizenship to the new president – have been found in the Republic of San Marino.
Images of the 1861 letters have been added to the collection of the Papers of Abraham Lincoln, a project dedicated to tracking down all documents to and from America's 16th president.
The first of the two letters was sent to Lincoln by San Marino's Regent Captains, the nation's joint heads of state. In English and Italian, they said that as a "mark of high consideration and sincere fraternity" for the United States, citizenship in the Republic of San Marino had been conferred on Lincoln. They also acknowledged America's "political griefs" and prayed that God would "grant you a peaceful solution."
In his response dated May 7, 1861, Lincoln thanked the Council of San Marino "for the honor of citizenship" and assured them that "although your dominion is small, your State is nevertheless one of the most honored in all history." He explained that the Civil War "involves the question whether a Representative republic, extended and aggrandized so much as to be safe against foreign enemies, can save itself from the dangers of domestic faction."

Signs of Abuse (courtesy of Laura's House)
Battering Personality (courtesy of Atask)
Many people are interested in ways that they can predict whether they are about to become involved with someone who will be physically abusive.
Below is a list of behaviors that are seen in people who physically abuse another person; the last four signs are almost always seen only if the person is a batterer-- if the person has several of the other behaviors (say three or more) there is a strong potential for physical violence-- the more signs the person has, the more likely the person is a batterer. In some cases, a batterer may have only a couple of behaviors that you can recognize, but they are very exaggerated (e.g. extreme jealousy over ridiculous things).
Initially, the batterer will try to explain his behavior as a sign of love and concern, and a person may be flattered at first; as time goes on, the behavior becomes more severe and serves to dominate the victim.Jealousy
At the beginning of a relationship, abusers will always say that the jealousy is a sign of love; jealousy has nothing to do with love, it's a sign of insecurity and possessiveness.
Batterers will question their victims about who they talk to, accusations of flirting, or be jealous of the time spent with family, friends, or children.
As the jealousy progresses, calls may be made frequently during the day or the abuser may drop by unexpectedly. The victims may not be allowed to work for fear that their partner may meet someone else, or even do strange behaviors such as checking the car mileage or asking friends to watch over their partner.Controlling Behaviors
At first, Batterers will say that this behavior are a result of concern for their safety, the need to use time well, or the need to make good decisions. Abusers will be angry if their partner is "late" in coming back from the store or an appointment and will question closely about where the victim went and who they talked to. As this behavior gets worse, the victim may not be allowed to make personal decisions about the house, clothing, going to church; they may keep all the money or even make the victim ask permission to leave the house or room.Quick Involvement
Many battered partners dated or knew their abusers for less than six months before they were engaged or living together. Abusers come on like a whirlwind - "You're the only person I could ever talk to." "I've never felt loved like this by anyone." They need someone desperately, and will pressure the partner to commit to them.Unrealistic Expectations
They are very dependent on their partner for all of their needs; the expectation for their partner to be the perfect wife, mother, lover, friend. They will say things like "If you love me, I'm all you need - you're all I need." The partner is supposed to take care of everything emotionally and in the home.Isolation
The abuser tries to cut the victim off from all resources. If you have friends, you are labeled with names such as whore, lesbian or slut. If you are close to your family, you are "tied to the apron strings." The abuser accuses people who are supportive of "causing trouble", or may want to live in the country without a phone, use of the car may be limited, or the abuser may try to keep the victim from working or going to school.Blames Others For His Problems
If the abusers are chronically unemployed, someone is always doing them wrong, out to get them. Mistakes may be made and they then blame the partner for upsetting them and keeping them from concentrating on doing their job. Abusers will tell the partner that they are at fault for almost anything that goes wrong.Hypersensitivity
Abusers are easily insulted, claiming that feelings are "hurt" when they are really, really mad, or they take the slightest setbacks as personal attacks. They will "rant and rave" about the injustice of things that have happened to them - things that are really just part of living; like being asked to work overtime, getting a traffic ticket, being told that something they do is annoying, being asked to help with chores.Cruelty To Animals Or Children
This is a person who punishes animals brutally or is insensitive to their pain or suffering. The abuser may expect children to be capable of doing things far beyond their ability (whips a two-year-old for wetting a diaper) or may tease children or young brothers and sisters until they cry. (60% of people who beat the partner they are with, also beat their children). Children may not be allowed to eat at the table or they are expected to keep to their room (or quiet) all evening while the abusive person is home."Playful" Use of Force in Sex
These people may like to throw their partners down and use force during sex, they may want to act out fantasies during sex where their partners are helpless. They are letting them know that the idea of "rape" excites them. They may show little concern about whether their partners wants to have sex or not and uses sulking or anger to manipulate them into compliance. The aggressors may start having sex with the partners while they are sleeping, or demand sex when they are ill or tired.Verbal Abuse
In addition to saying things that are meant to be cruel and hurtful, this can be seen by the abusers as degrading their partners, cursing them, running down any of their accomplishments. Their abusers will tell them that they're stupid and unable to function without their presence. This may involve waking to verbal abuse or not allowing sleep.Rigid Sex Roles
Abusers expect their partners to serve. They will say that their partners must stay at home, that their partners must obey in all things - even things that are criminal in nature. Abusers will see all partners as inferior to them, more stupid, unable to be a whole person without their relationship.Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde/Mood Swings
Many partners are confused by their abusers' sudden changes in mood-- they will describe that one minute they're nice and the next minute they explode, that they have some special "mental problems" or that they're "crazy". Mood swings are typical of batterers who beat their partners, and these behaviors are related to other characteristics of hypersensitivity.Past Battering
Abusers may say they have abused partners in the past, but it was their fault. The partner may hear from the relatives or ex-spouse that the person is abusive. Batterers will beat any partner they are involved with; circumstances do not give a person an abusive personality.Threats Of Violence
This would include any threat of physical force meant to control the partner. "I'll slap your mouth off", "I'll kill you", "I'll break your neck." Most abusers do not threaten their mates, but batterers will try to excuse their behavior by saying, "everybody talks like that."Breaking Or Striking Objects
This behavior is used as a punishment (breaking loved possessions), but is mostly used to terrorize their partners into submission. The abusers may beat on tables with their fists, throw objects around or near their partners. Again, this is a very remarkable behavior; only very immature people beat on objects in the presence of others in order to threaten them.Any Force During An Argument
This may involve abusers holding partners down, physically restraining them from leaving the room, locking them in a closet, any pushing or shoving. (Abuser may hold their partners against a wall and say, "you're going to listen to me")

Item Development
After objectives are ready, the next stage is the writing of questions, called items, for exams.
Security is a major concern in item development. All items must be kept as confidential as possible. Everyone participating in this phase agrees not to disclose item content to anyone and to sign non-disclosure agreements. LPI also took other undisclosed security precautions.
Item writing
The procedure used to develop the items for most IT certification exams is to fly a group of subject-matter experts into a location for a week or more, give them training in how to write items, and then have them work intensely to create the questions.
But this technique is expensive and exclusive (and not in a good way). So for Level 1 exams, LPI put out a public call across the Internet in August 1999 for item writers. We encouraged everyone who was interested and knowledgeable to help with item writing. LPI used a web interface called TIPS to collect most items.
During that initial exam development phase, item writers submitted items for each objective. The weight value assigned to each objective determined the number of items written for each one. This method of item collection was effective. More than 70 people submitted items for consideration, but the process significantly lengthened this stage of exam development.
Since then, LPI has developed new items for exam rotation in house by tapping the knowledge of subject-matter experts, online volunteers and participants in item-writing workshops.
Item Screening
Supervisors screened all submitted exam items, and accepted, rejected or reworded them. They focused on three criteria:
- Redundancy: Items that were substantially identical to previously submitted items were rejected.
- Phrasing and clarity: Items phrased in confusing or otherwise inappropriate ways were rejected or reworded. Supervisors paid attention to ensuring that questions can be understood by non-native English speakers.
- Accuracy: Supervisors rejected or reworded items that were not technically accurate.
Item Technical Review
Next, LPI used a group of 10 Linux experts to put items through a technical review. Each item was reviewed by at least two experts. Each expert classified items as approved, rejected or "other" for rewording or review by others.
The primary technical criteria:
- Correctness.
- Appropriateness of distractors (for multiple-choice items): Reviewers ensured that the distractor answer choices were incorrect but reasonably plausible.
- Phrasing and clarity: Reviewers ensured items were worded in appropriate language.
- Relevance.
- Expected difficulty.
Supervisors then collected the reviews. Each item was:
- Accepted based on consensus.
- Rejected based on consensus.
- Accepted after further review: If reviewers did not agree, the supervisor might accept it, perhaps based on the opinion of another reviewer.
- Rejected after further review: If reviewers did not agree, the supervisor might reject it, perhaps based on the opinion of another reviewer.
- Accepted after revision: In some cases, reviewers might suggest rewording the item and the supervisor might accept the item after rewording it.
