After seven years on the beat, the show's over for Detective Lily Rush (Kathryn Morris). CBS has officially cancelled Cold Case.
Each episode of Cold Case begins by showing an unsolved crime from the past. The scene then flashes forward to the present day and a group of homicide detectives try to piece together what really happened, using old evidence and new interviews. The series stars Morris, Danny Pino, John Finn, Jeremy Ratchford, Thom Barry, and Tracie Thoms.
Cold Case began in September of 2003 and quickly became a staple of the CBS Sunday night schedule. The crime drama had a successful first season and, by season two, was averaging a 3.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 15.1 million viewers. For the next couple seasons, total viewership fell a bit but the all-important demo numbers rose, reaching a 3.8 in season four.
Unfortunately the ratings have come down quite a bit since then. In season five, the show averaged a 2.9 rating and about 12 million viewers. Last season, Cold Case sank lower, to an average of a 2.7 rating and CBS made a choice between renewing ailing Without a Trace or Cold Case. They chose to keep Cold Case but may have regretted it pretty quickly. This season, the show's ratings dropped even further to a 2.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 9.6 million viewers.
Loading ...
So, while the overall viewership isn't terrible, the demo numbers are and that's what brings the ad dollars. CBS often has the most total viewers, but they are often lacking in the 18-49 demo department.
To no surprise, CBS has cancelled Cold Case after seven years on the air. The show won't be back for season eight next fall. Sadly, the show is not available on DVD. It's believed that securing the rights for the show's extensive use of period music is problematic.
What do you think? Are you sorry to see the series go? What could have been done to help the TV show's ratings?

Photo Gallery | WSP candidates test with the wind at their backs
Not even a college final was as quiet as the Washington State Patrol's trooper hopefuls taking the written test that could pave the way to their future career. One by one, the 20 men wrapped up their answers and waited in Eastern Washington's WSP headquarters, stretching, pacing, quietly chatting to each other.
"Relax! Stretch out! Breathe deep," were the words spoken by Tina Wallman, WSP recruiter to the men in the lobby.
One man said the written test takes a lot out of you. They would need their energy for the moments to come, the upcoming test of the physical feats.
Based on your age and gender, the requirements are different. With no women taking the test that Friday, the majority of men, ages 20-29 would be required to accomplish 38 sit-ups and 29 push-ups in one minute. They'd also be required to run 1.5 miles in 12:29 minutes or less.
The men lined up along West Geiger Blvd, stretching for their run. The smell of nearby cows wafted onto the road. A Spokane County Sheriff's Deputy patrolled in the distance. With the northeast wind on their back, they launched to the rendezvous point where troopers were waiting for them.
The first runner finished at 9:27. He was handed a green card that designated him as the number one runner in the physical test.
Only two runners didn't complete the time needed to finish.
One 44-year-old from Ritzville was hoping to make this day the day he makes his big career change from information technology to law enforcement. He wanted to do this sooner, when he was in his 20s, but life, he said, got in the way.
"I'm not too old to do these things," he said. He was concerned about revealing his identity, because he still has a job to return to.
Though he made the time for running, he did not pass the requirements for sit-ups. His body buckled when it came down to the final sit-up. The other men surrounded him, cheering him on, but the muscles stopped. Time was up. He wasn't even the oldest there taking the WSP test.
"There's no curve for old guys like us," he added.
Five out of the 20 men did not pass the physical tests that day. Wallman says the toughest part of the tests is getting in and actually taking a seat.
"Do you have what it takes?" Wallman asked. "Some them can be surprised."
The men that passed today's tests will continue on to the Oral Board in Olympia, a panel that asks situational questions that test common sense based on previous WSP experiences. From there a polygraph is taken and then a background check is made. Four phases total, all to be accomplished before the next Army Class begins on April 30th.
More Information: Curious to read the other requirements to become a trooper? Read them online. The next written and fitness test is April 14th.

This magazine is the best I have read, and being around wood working and renovations for 45 years I have read many. The topics are across the board enough so that every reader will have at least an article or two that is worth the cost of the subscription, many times over. The reader is not talked down to like a novice, nor left with lots of questions that would be general knowledge to a professional. I do find most projects to be on the upper end of the scale as far as materials used, tools needed and skills involved. But the serious homeowner can adapt with materials and tools, and I believe every home owner wants to be challenged to work more skillfully with each project undertaken. Get your hands on just two months of this magazine and I believe you will agree it should be a resource for every homeowner.

I decided to just try this magazine out as a Christmas gift for my husband. Now every time a new issue comes, I look at it from cover to cover, as well as he. I love getting ideas for house decor, garden decor, and their gardening tips. My husband likes to do things on his own and is great at it, and so the home improvement articles in this magazine that I don't understand at all, help him to complete his own DIY projects. I would definitely recommend this magazine to anyone who has their own home!

I found this magazine very illustrating because it offers the before and after photos of its remodeling projects.
It also gives very good ideas for enhance the appearance of the already available stuff in the house.
Great magazine for those that care about charm and character in a home. Wonderful creative ideas!
I really enjoy this magazine and I was surprised to see how many articles I find helpful and relate-able. I checked this magazine out at my local library before purchasing. I thought it would be all about carpentry. While there are some articles that are heavy in carpentry detail/instruction that I know I will personally not use, I was pleasantly surprised at how many ideas I have gotten from this magazine for decorating, projects in my garden, for making minor repairs or troubleshooting a problem, and for my upcoming kitchen remodel. I look forward to receiving this magazine every month.
I recommend this magazine for a new homeowner even if you don't have an old house.
It's easy to give magazine subscriptions, and Magazines.com has a good variety and price. It also reminds me when renewal gift subscriptions are coming up--makes it easy for me!

This Old House Magazine Subscription Video Review.
Hi. I'm Adam from Magazines.com.
I love working on my house. I'm actually in the midst of my second complete home renovation. I learned a lot during our first one and have to admit that my wife and I definitely caught the DIY bug after that. There's just something really awesome about being able to look around your home knowing the amount of seat equity you've put into it.
That being said, I don't always love the process as anyone who's been through a renovation can attest to. This is where having a good resource is a huge asset. I started subscribing to This Old House magazine last year and can't tell you how useful it's been for me during this renovation. I've really saved a lot of time and thanks to the tips and in this magazine.
Some of my favorite features you'll find in each issue include weekend DIY projects, low-cost project ideas, and top ways to save money around the house. It's really become a how-to resource library for me for everything having to do with our home. That's what makes this publication so valuable. It's definitely not one of those magazines you read and throw away. You'll find yourself saving these to reference back to down the road when new projects come up.
A side tip – read an article in this before you start your next project. I find that prep work helps cut down my time at the local home improvement store, and keeps me from making multiple trips as I tend to go into a project much more prepared.
Thanks for checking out my This Old House magazine subscription review. Give us a call at 1-800-MAGAZINES if you have any questions and be sure check out the latest This Old House subscription discounts and offers here at Magazines.com.

THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."

MARK KEOHANE, writing in Business Day Sport Monthly, says Springbok rugby must never again lurch from one World Cup campaign to another. It must become a results-driven business with expectation and accountability.
The Rugby World Cup is a tournament that lasts six weeks. It should not be a four-year excuse for any player or coach.
When you read this, South Africa's fate at the Rugby World Cup could largely be decided. They may be getting close to successfully defending the trophy – or they could be on the brink of packing up and going home.
There will be arrogance among South African supporters. Alternatively there will be denial when there should be insistence that a repeat of the past four years should never again be tolerated, let alone allowed.
The World Cup is undoubtedly the tournament every rugby nation wants to win. The Tri-Nations is a tougher trophy to win but it doesn't have the global appeal or the romance of the World Cup. It isn't quite knockout rugby, even though New Zealand has often won the Tri-Nations in a must-win last outing against South Africa or Australia. Everyone seems to forget that because they have blown every World Cup campaign since their successful 1987 tournament.
I don't understand the view towards the World Cup when it comes to planning and preparation and South Africa is no exception when it comes to putting all the emphasis on the World Cup. It is a tournament that should form part of a four-year cycle. It should not constitute the four-year cycle. Peter de Villiers' successor should not be judged on whether the Boks win the World Cup in four years' time. His successor should be judged on how the Boks perform every season, in every Test and in every tournament.
Give the coach a four-year contract, but include performance-based clauses. Make it reviewable after two years. That way the national rugby union is protected, the coach has a form of protection and a responsibility to deliver and no player has the comfort of a four-year cruise because of an affiliation with the incumbent national coach.
Jake White, in succeeding Rudolf Straeuli as Bok coach, gave South Africans a lesson in building a team and the importance of having experience in the change room. But no player can ever be allowed to control the environment in which he plays – and that has been the curse of the Boks in the past four years. Old players, settled, comfortable and calling the shots, do what suits them and what accommodates them. They don't encourage change, they seldom celebrate the introduction of youth and they grey the area of playing experience and job security.
Whether South Africa win the World Cup or not, South African rugby, to have sustainability, has to have a new approach to the national team, both in terms of expectation and delivery. The expectation has to be that the Boks win every time they play at home and win more than they lose when abroad. Results must be the priority because if a coach has to get results he invariably picks the form players capable of producing a winning sensation. No player is given a four-year guarantee and a 48-month salary advance.
Giving a coach a four-year cycle is an act of suicide if the intent is to evolve and mature into a team of winners. It allows for four years of excuses, either from a coach who supposedly builds in those four years and sees the World Cup as the defining moment of his tenure or it allows for four years of comfort for a coach and players who have no fear of change.
Bok coach Peter De Villiers has convinced himself and a nation that because he put his faith in the 2007 World Cup winners (back in 2008 and again in 2009 and 2010) it was too late to make a change in 2011. He did this because of his shocking results in 2010, when he said that losing in 2010 was a consequence of the grand plan to win in 2011. Other coaches have also used this argument to justify defeats between World Cups.
It is wrong.
Strong leadership is desperately sought within South African rugby to change this mindset. Decisions must be made that make the players and coaches accountable but also ensure that those officials making such massive rugby decisions have to be judged by the
calls they make.
There should never again be a situation when a group of players two years out from a World Cup inform the coach they have a desire to play in the competition and are effectively guaranteed a plane ticket, regardless of form.
There has never been strong managerial leadership within the Boks since White was thanked for winning the World Cup in 2007 and then told to bugger off. Tough selection decisions have not been made because the senior players won't entertain such behaviour from a weak coaching staff.
The concept of a national selection committee is outdated in a professional environment. Think of the madness. The coach, whose livelihood should be dependent on his team's results, doesn't get exclusivity when it comes to selecting his national squad. Two blokes, who have careers outside rugby, make up a three-man selection committee to determine the national squad before every major tournament, be it an incoming series, the Tri-Nations, the end-of-year tour or the World Cup. It is just rubbish and another example of amateur ideals compromising professional principles.
Rugby is a business. Don't kid yourself that it is a sport, so treat it like a business – and expect those in rugby's employ to be assessed corporate-style. In business you survive or fall by your decisions, your choices and you are held accountable for those decisions and choices.
Which CEO would survive not investing in a talent like Bismarck du Plessis? He wouldn't, because shareholders would not accommodate an excuse that the veteran tasked with making the profit would hit his target only every leap year. The board would demand investment in the individual best suited to get results in that year and the demand would be ongoing post every Christmas lunch. A new year would bring a new expectation.
Rugby is a lucrative business for the best players and coaches but it should be accepted that it also ruthless and if the performance does not match the predetermined budgets, that coach and player should be out.
It would also define the type of individual willing to coach the Boks and the kind of player who wants to be part of the Boks. There would be no guarantee of a job if the match returns weren't proportionate to the salaries being paid.
Think of the financial and emotional investment of the nation when it comes to the Boks. Rugby and government officials implore the average South African to support the team regardless. Forget the make-up of the side, forget how they are playing and forget whom the coach is selecting. Support because you are South African and it is the patriotic thing to do. What crap. Would you invest in a company where government officials urge you not to question the decision-making of the CEO? Would you accept asking a question that involves your investment being dismissed as unpatriotic? I didn't think so.
The only way to grow our intellect as a nation is for us to debate issues and to educate ourselves that it isn't a bad thing to ask questions and hold accountable those who survive on supposed patriotism.
If the South African public is the most important shareholder in Springbok rugby there has to be a yearly plan around the team – and this plan includes officials, coaches and players fronting in return for the R450 a person pays to watch a live Test in South Africa, and the huge amounts sacrificed when following the team abroad or purchasing team merchandise.
De Villiers, a week before the Rugby World Cup, did not blink in telling the media that John Smit was the best hooker in the world – and the form hooker of world rugby. Bear in mind Smit did not start against the All Blacks in Port Elizabeth and played only the last 16 minutes. Smit, to his credit, responded by telling the audience his wife also thought he was the best looking bloke around. Everyone chuckled, but imagine if a CEO of a blue chip company made that statement a week before the financials were due to be made public? The share price would drop. Take it as a given.
De Villiers knows Du Plessis is the best hooker in the world. He knows he should be playing him for 80 minutes but he doesn't know how to negotiate Smit's role within the team. De Villiers isn't equipped technically, intellectually or emotionally to make the decisions expected of one in his position.
De Villiers told Butch James he was his starting 10 for the World Cup and that is why he wanted him back in South Africa and not playing club rugby in England. Pressure from within the squad, by seasoned grizzlies who wanted mates selected and deemed themselves to be untouchables, meant James did not start the World Cup at No 10 but was given a bench role as an insurance policy.
The selection of James on the bench, as one example, made very little rugby sense because he offered so little in terms of versatility. The decision to ignore Du Plessis' form and pedigree was described by international critics as shameful.
I could cite several other examples in the build-up to this Bok World Cup campaign and the campaign proper once at the tournament, but that is not what this is about.
It is about getting it right post-2011 and ensuring the South African rugby public doesn't get fed propaganda like Smit is the best hooker in the world on form and Bismarck isn't.
Smit, a wonderful leader of a team who has achieved everything in winning the World Cup, the Tri-Nations and beating the British & Irish Lions, must have cringed at that statement because he knows where he was once the tutor to Du Plessis he is no longer the master.
In this magazine some months ago I made a plea to support Smit's captaincy at the World Cup and his starting role ahead of the superior playing qualities of Du Plessis. I did it because of the inadequacies of the coach and his assistants.
Smit had to lead the Boks to the World Cup, but that should never have been a guarantee he should lead them in the play-offs at the World Cup. The best should play. The best should always play, otherwise what is the point?
I just watched Wales lose to South Africa in Wellington by a single point after two of their kickers missed a drop goal and penalty within five minutes of the final whistle. To trail Wales by six points on the hour and then pray for their flyhalf to miss a drop goal from straight in front and their goal-kicker to fluff a match-winning kick with three minutes to play couldn't have been part of the master plan as sold to a nation of Bok supporters.
This is what you were told to invest in and not question.
To watch a coach describe the one-point win as 'brilliant' against a nation that has beaten South Africa once in 100 years was embarrassing. To hear him say everything is on track was simply insulting to the intelligence of every South African rugby supporter.
Accountability! It is the missing piece in rugby's professional puzzle.
De Villiers has had a four-year excuse from the day he got the Bok job. He has done what any coach would do if given such a free ride. I don't blame him; I blame a system that allows mediocrity to dwarf excellence. And then rewards the non-achievement with a healthy monthly salary.
Watching Du Plessis play against Wales in the final 20 minutes symbolised everything that can be right about our game. Watching him huddled among the substitutes for an hour before that put into perspective just how much is wrong with our rugby.
Who would invest in a company whose board applauds De Villiers and ignores Du Plessis?
South African rugby's challenge as a company with national commercial and emotional investment has to be to demand excellence every year and not just hope for it in a play-off match every four years.
To reach this rugby nirvana so much has to change about the way those in rugby do business and we as supporters invest in that business.

The Jerusalem District Planning and Construction Committee has approved plans to preserve the city's Gazelle Valley as a leisure and recreation parkland. The plans were drawn up by local residents and the Society for Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI), which is supported by NIF through the Green Environment Fund (GEF). The ad hoc residents committee also received ongoing consultation from SHATIL.
The new park in the heart of the city covers 26 hectares (64 acres) and contains a herd of 17 gazelles that will be fenced off in about a quarter of the valley. The remaining area, currently agricultural land, will be transformed into parkland for the recreation of local residents and visitors to the city.
Gazelle Valley is located to the west of the city center near Katamonim. The land was traditionally farmed by nearby kibbutzim, but in the 1990s the Jerusalem Municipality agreed to let real estate companies plan housing and commercial developments for the area. A vigorous battle was fought by local environmental groups supported by NIF to preserve the valley as an open space. In 2001 the development plans were dropped, though some commercial developments remained.
Capital + Concrete = Catastrophe reads the banner of a
girl protesting in Gazelle Valley during the successful 2001 campaign.
By proposing the alternative parkland plan, which was supported by the Jerusalem Municipality, the Jerusalem District Planning and Construction Committee has now agreed to fully scrap the commercial developments.
"This will be the first urban nature park of its kind in Israel," explains SPNI landscape architect Yael Hammerman. "People will be able to observe nature without infringing on it."
The victory in Gazelle Valley is a second important triumph for the NIF family in the Jerusalem region. Last year the government scrapped plans to build 20,000 homes in four new neighborhoods on the open hillsides west of the city, following protests from the Coalition for the Preservation of the Jerusalem Hills, which is also funded by NIF through the Green Environment Fund.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 24, 12:21 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Neyland Stadium (102,455) -- Knoxville, Tennessee. Television: SEC Network. Home Record: UK 2-5, UT 3-3. Away Record: UK 0-4, UT 0-4. Neutral Record: UK 0-0, UT 1-0. Conference Record: UK 0-7, UT 0-7. Series Record: Tennessee leads, 74-24-9.
GAME NOTES: Two SEC Eastern Division cellar-dwellers will be given their last chances to win their first conference game this season when the Kentucky Wildcats head to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday afternoon.
Kentucky fell into a serious slide this season with a eight-game losing streak, but it was able to snap that skid last week with a 34-3 win over Samford. Still, the Wildcats have not won an SEC game since Nov. 24, 2011, when they, oddly enough, defeated Tennessee at home, 10-7.
The down year cost head coach Joker Phillips his job.
Tennessee has been one of the conference's biggest disappointments. While it has won all four of its non-league games, it has gone winless in the SEC, most recently dropping back-to-back games against Missouri (51-48) and Vanderbilt (41-18). Following their latest loss, the Vols announced the firing of head coach of Derek Dooley, who had put together three straight losing seasons during his tenure in Knoxville. Jim Chaney will act serve as interim head coach.
The Vols have a handle on the all-time series with Kentucky, 74-24-9, which includes a 39-10-6 mark in Knoxville.
Kentucky not only has the worst offense in the SEC (18.0 ppg, 306.2 ypg) but one of the worst in the nation, ranking 116th in scoring offense and 115th in total offense. The unit managed to get back on track against FCS program Samford last week with 455 yards.
A lack of continuity at the quarterback position is a big reason for the Wildcats' struggles. Ever since Maxwell Smith (975 yards, eight TDs) went down in September, neither Jalen Whitlow (58-of-116, 576 yards, two TDs, INT) nor Patrick Towles (18-of-39, 213 yards, TD, INT) has performed well.
Naturally, the receiving corps has suffered with the lackluster play under center. La'Rod King leads the team with 38 receptions, 410 yards, and four touchdowns, and no other player has more than 300 receiving yards.
While not spectacular, the running back duo of Raymond Sanders (615 yards, five TDs) and Jonathan George (445 yards, three TDs) have been solid in the backfield.
The UK defense has not played up to snuff either, allowing more than 30 ppg, although it held Samford to just 102 yards.
Donte Rumph was named SEC Defensive Lineman of the week after recording a sack and a forced fumble a week ago, and he now has four sacks on the season. Avery Williamson (128 tackles, three sacks, INT) has been the unit's best player. He's the SEC's leading tackler and he ranks third in the nation with 11.6 tackles per game.
It's hard to blame the Tennessee offense for the team's struggles this year, as it averages 36.1 ppg and 477.6 ypg.
Tyler Bray has put together an outstanding season as he leads the conference in both passing yards (3,319) and passing touchdowns (30). He is coming off perhaps the worst outing of his career against Vanderbilt however, as he completed just 11-of-29 passes for a touchdown and two interceptions before being pulled in the second half.
Justin Hunter has been Bray's preferred target, and with 70 receptions for 1,018 yards and eight touchdowns, he ranks third in the conference in each category. The receiving corps is incredibly deep. Cordarrelle Patterson (42 receptions, 690 yards) and Mychal Rivera (31 receptions, 498 yards) have caught four touchdowns apiece and Zach Rogers (30 receptions, 463 yards) has six scores.
Rajion Neal has racked up 655 rushing yards and nine touchdowns (four receiving) despite missing a pair of games. Marlin Lane (583 yards, two TDs) has also been effective out of the backfield, having notched a pair of 100- yard rushing games over the past three weeks.
There hasn't been much to like about Tennessee's defense this season, as it ranks 111th in FBS in scoring allowance (37.4 ppg).
Despite the terrible defensive effort overall, A.J. Johnson (124 tackles, 6.5 TFL) and Byron Moore (83 tackles, five INTs) have been able to distance themselves as premiere playmakers.
The offseason cannot come soon enough for these squads, as both are in need of a major overhaul if they want to competitive in the SEC anytime soon. Tennessee has found ways to lose lately, so it shouldn't shock anyone if it drops this one, but the Vols should find enough inspiration to win one at home against a sorry Kentucky squad.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Tennessee 45, Kentucky 35

Adaptive Selling: Conceptualization, Measurement, and Nomological Validity
1990, Journal of Marketing Research
Rosann L Spiro, Barton A Weitz
A 16-item scale is developed to measure the degree to which salespeople practice adaptive selling--the degree to which they alter their sales presentation across and during customer interactions in response to the perceived nature of the sales situation. This paper-and-pencil scale assesses self-reports of five facets of adaptive selling: (1) recognition that different sates approaches are needed for different customers, (2) confidence in ability to use a variety of approaches, (3) confidence in ability to alter approach during an interaction, (4) collection of information to facilitate adaptation, and (5) actual use of different approaches. The reliability of the scale is .85. Support for the nomological validity of the scale is found by failure to disconfirm relationships with an antecedent (intrinsic motivation), several general personality measures of interpersonal flexibility (self-monitoring, empathy, locus of control, and androgyny), and a consequence (self-reported performance).

Margaret King and Hazel Marcom have been friends since eighth grade. Their friendship has stretched for more than eight decades — each are 91-years-old and they've worked together on-and-off for much of that time at King's Restaurant.
When King's father died, she was taken to an orphanage at the age of 6. She returned to Kinston to live with her mother and began attending Southwood School, where she met Marcom.
"I helped her with her math," Marcom said, "and she helped me singing. She can sing. She still can sing."
King confessed, "She was a little brainier than I was and she'd help me get up some of my lessons. She would do some of my homework for me."
King's social life took priority over working on her lessons. At about the 10th grade, she met Wilbur King, deceased since 1973, when he was about 25 years old and working at a service station.
"I liked him," she said. "I said, 'I got a chance. I got him.' "
So she left school to marry King in 1941. His father owned the property where the restaurant is located now and had built a country store there. He started King's Restaurant in the back of the store, selling hot dogs and hamburgers.
After Wilbur King Jr. was born in 1943 and the family was living with Wilbur Sr.'s mother behind the store, someone came to the house one Saturday night and said her husband needed to see her.
"And I had never been in the restaurant before," she said. When she got inside, he told her he was out of coffee cups.
"So I got down in that big old sink, and they had just put it in," she continued, "and washed up the cups and saucers, and then I went back home."
That was the start of her career, and "Momma King" watched King Jr. while she worked the register, cooked and did whatever was needed.
When King had left high school, Marcom continued on with her studies and graduated. The two went their separate ways for awhile.
Due to a family connection between the Kings and Marcom's family, King and her husband offered Marcom a job at the restaurant around 1946.
"(Marcom) was the first person he hired, other than family," King Jr. said.
Marcom began cooking, using her own recipe to make Brunswick stew and "thickening it up" with peas, butter beans, corn and tomatoes, she said.
"(We) did the cooking," King said, "then about 11:30 (a.m.) we had everything done. We'd run to the restroom, put on the uniform and wait on the tables. And then we got through waiting on customers — the rush — she would go back to the kitchen and start preparing for the next day, and I'd wash dishes."
In the early 1950s, King may have started the trend of making individual banana puddings — selling every one.
"I never heard of one, but I thought it was a selling card," she said.
She made as many as two dozen at home — loading them up on a truck — until King Sr. told her to start making them at the restaurant.
"The strawberry shortcakes that she made for Mother's Day for so many, many years was a tremendous success," King Jr.'s wife Carolyn King said. "She always sold out."
The restaurant would stay open late on Friday nights for students heading back to New Bern after a ball game, Marcom said.
Later, King had a daughter, and Marcom had two daughters. They both took time off to have their children by the late 1950s and returned to work, for the most part.
"Ms. Margaret helped and encouraged me all the way," Marcom said. "She answered the phone and said thank you when I was real busy."
King said she and Marcom were working partners, but didn't socialize beyond their working relationship.
"We were just nice, close friends," King said, "and we worked together great — still do to this day.
King was hosting a couple of days a week when she left the restaurant in March because of illness.
She and Marcom said they miss the customers. But the customers miss them, too. One regular from the Raleigh area even stopped by the assisted living home where King lives to pay her a visit on his way to the beach.
"On the days that I'm there (at the restaurant)," King Jr. said, "at least a dozen people ask me how she is. Everybody misses her."
Today, Joe Hargitt runs King's Restaurant and King Jr. helps out. Hargitt has worked there since the age of 17.
Marcom, who quit working about three weeks ago but still drives a car, said working at King's was "a real pleasure."
"God has blessed me with good health and a strong will," she said, "a good job and good people to work with. We'll miss them, but stay in touch."

TV show dates: September 17, 2012 — May 21, 2014
Series status: Cancelled
Performers include: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Anna Lise Phillips, Graham Rogers, JD Pardo, Zak Orth, Maria Howell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito, Tim Guinee, Elizabeth Mitchell, Derek Webster, and Daniella Alonso.
TV show description:
This dramatic science-fiction TV series explores the question "What would you do without it all?" A family struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology — computers, refrigerators, air conditioners, planes, cars, phones, lights — has mysteriously stopped working. Electrical power has simply gone away. The show also revolves around the idea of family — both the family you're born into and the family you choose.
Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos) is the headstrong, curious and daring daughter of Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Ben Matheson (Tim Guinee). Ben is hiding a mysterious secret about the blackout. Maggie (Anna Lise Phillips), a medical doctor, became involved with him following his wife's death.
When Charlie's younger and thoughtful brother, Danny (Graham Rogers), is kidnapped by militia leaders, she must reconnect with her estranged uncle Miles Matheson (Billy Burke), a former US Marine and warrior who's living as a recluse.
Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia and ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed and how or if it will ever return.
The rebel group includes fighter Nora (Daniella Alonso); General "Bass" Monroe (David Lyons), a former Marine who served alongside Miles; and Aaron (Zak Orth), a former Google executive and a computer genius who's ill-prepared for the rigors of the technology-less world.
Captain Tom Neville (Giancarlo Esposito), a cultured former insurance adjuster turned Monroe Republic leader and Nate Walker (JD Pardo) is a member of the militia who has conflicted feelings for Charlie.
Series Finale
Episode #42 — Declaration of Independence
Miles (Billy Burke), Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) and Monroe (David Lyons) launch an attack on the Patriots, but must improvise a risky new plan in order to halt the oncoming war between California and Texas. Out for revenge, Neville (Giancarlo Esposito) sets his sights on President Davis (guest star Cotter Smith). Meanwhile, Aaron (Zak Orth) and Rachel's (Elizabeth Mitchell) efforts to save Priscilla (guest star Maureen Sebastian) from the nano-tech has unexpected consequences.
First aired: May 21, 2014.

This is a single tread of the enormous Crawler-Transporter used to transport the Saturn V rocket to its launch site at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, during the Apollo program of the 1960's-1970's.
The Crawler is still in use today for transporting the Space Shuttle. Each tread weighs a ton. There are 57 treads per track and 456 treads total for the Crawler's eight tracks.
A rocket or Shuttle is mounted vertically on the Crawler. The complete Crawler weighs six million pounds and is 131 feet long and 115 feet wide. However, it travels slowly and reaches a speed of only a mile an hour. The Transporter was transferred from NASA to the NASM in 1973.
Transferred from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), discussed the current employment situation and economic outlook in a hearing today with Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erica L. Groshen. Klobuchar said that while job gains averaged 182,000 every month in 2013 and the economy is showing signs of improving, the December jobs report that was released today shows that there is still more work to do. Non-farm payroll employment increased by 74,000 jobs in December and the national unemployment rate fell from 7.0% to 6.7%.
Klobuchar urged her colleagues in Congress to pass legislation to extend federal unemployment insurance and focus on bipartisan initiatives to move the economy forward, such as boosting exports and strengthening workforce training and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education programs.
"Our economy made progress throughout 2013, averaging 182,000 jobs created every month," Klobuchar said. "But there's no question that we have more work to do, and in the new year we must rededicate ourselves to polices that not only allow businesses to create good jobs but also give people the tools they need to succeed in the workforce, from strengthening science and math education to extending critical unemployment insurance that helps people pay their rent and fill their gas tanks while they look for work."
Throughout the hearing, Klobuchar emphasized the continued importance of the federal unemployment insurance program, a critical lifeline for America's long-term unemployed. Federal benefits expired for 1.3 million Americans on December 28th and, barring congressional action, will expire for 3.6 million more in 2014. Klobuchar is a cosponsor of The Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act, bipartisan legislation that would extend federal support for unemployment insurance for three months to give Congress more time to reach agreement on a longer-term extension. Earlier this week, she released a report examining the impact of unemployment insurance on families and children.
Klobuchar also highlighted the need to pass legislation like the Innovate America Act, bipartisan legislation she introduced that would help increase the competitiveness of small-and medium-sized businesses by promoting and rewarding schools, technical colleges, and universities that focus on science, technology, engineering and math and removing red tape and reducing production costs for manufacturing businesses.

Andre Pretorius was arrested and charged with drunken driving early on Saturday morning.
The Cats No 10 was in Main Road, Bryanston in Johannesburg, when he crashed into another car just after 1am. He was arrested and charged, as was the other driver.
Police spokesman Captain Schalk Bornman said the two men were taken to Randburg police station and later released on R500 bail each.
"Both were booked for drunken driving and will appear in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Monday," he said.
Bornman said it was likely their cases would be postponed pending the finalisation and receipt of blood tests taken after the accident.

Nail art pens are great tools for creating this polish look because their nimble points mean precision (and if you need a recommendation, Monson's a fan of the Migi brand). If you'd rather not invest in these colored pens, you can simply use toothpicks instead. You'll be left with your own mini version of this runway favorite!
Need another reason to attempt the look? "Obviously, Prada is amazing," declares Monson. "That's number one!" So what are you waiting for? Grab your polish and let's get started.
