Panel discussion will feature alumni of Lesley University's Ph.D. Program in Educational Studies

The panel will explore the role of collaboration in research, featuring alumni of Lesley University's Ph.D. program in Educational Studies Sadie Burton-Goss, Meenakshi Chhabra and Amy Rutstein-Riley; Chhabra and Rutstein-Riley (pictured) are now Lesley faculty members. Paul Naso, faculty member in Lesley's Ph.D. program in Educational Studies, will moderate the discussion.

The annual lecture is held in honor of Lesley Professor Emeritus George Hein, Founding Director of the Ph.D. Program in Educational Studies, who will provide a response following the panel discussion. Dr. Hein also founded the Program Evaluation and Research Group (PERG) at Lesley in 1976, which evaluates projects that serve learners in both formal and informal settings – from K–12 and higher education, to museums and community centers.
The discussion will be held Thursday, March 28, 4:30-6:30pm, in the 2nd Floor Amphitheater of University Hall on Lesley University's Porter Campus, 1815 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge.
A reception, free and open to the public, will follow.

When you picture a DJ what might come to mind is an image of someone with their shoulder hunched, supporting the earpiece of a headphone up to his or her ear. There is a reason for this; DJs have to be aware of the track that's being played over the PA, as well as queuing up the next song in the set. This is all taking place in the live club setting, which is notoriously loud. Its important therefore that DJ headphones are loud enough to enable the DJ to queue up the next song while simultaneously monitoring the current song to ensure it isn't about to end. The way the headphones are constructed is important as well. To be able to listen with one ear, the headphones need to be flexible enough able to move without breaking. At musician's Friend we have a full selection of DJ Headphones including the top selling Pioneer DJ Headphones. As with everything we sell, all our DJ Headphones are supported by our price & satisfaction guarantees and free standard shipping now applies to all orders over $25, including many heavy items.

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Local attorney Jeff Blackburn says the Innocence Project is collaborating with the State Fire Marshal to look into about 10 cases in which suspects convicted of arson may, in fact, have been wrongfully convicted.
Blackburn said the science of arson investigation is constantly advancing. Consequently, he said, in the cases they've studied, the suspects may have been convicted on evidence that is faulty or outdated.
"So the question becomes, how do we take what we know now, and look at not just these old cases, but also in the future, make sure we don't make these mistakes again."
The Amarillo Fire Department confirms the alliance between the State Fire Marshal and the Innocence Project. John Woodward of the Amarillo Fire Department said they're working on how to improve arson investigations. Woodward said, "through the State Fire Marshal, a lot of the local Fire Marshal Offices throughout the state will receive training."

Olympian Denise Lewis Drops In To The Academy
Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis visited The Harefield Academy to speak about her career and passion for sport to our students. Lewis House presented a special assembly to the golden heptathlete, who answered questions fielded from her House and some of our elite athletes.
The British athlete, who won the heptathlon at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, participated in a range of activities throughout the day, including taking part in a Year 8 PE class and a question and answer session with some of our elite sport students. Denise admitted, on numerous occasions, during her morning with us that she was 'green with envy' that she couldn't attend The Academy.
The Youth Sport Trust School Sport Ambassador added "The sporting journey for many Olympians and Paralympians begins at school and it's a crucial time for any young athlete's development as they learn to balance training and competition with the other pressures associated with teenage life. I faced many challenges during my sporting career and the support of others was vital in helping me realise my dream. I am pleased to see young people at The Harefield Academy succeeding in an environment that strives to bring out the best in them, whatever their goals are."

The Miami Book Fair International is happening through the weekend , and all week, we're hearing from some of the Florida authors appearing at Miami-Dade College for the fair.
Florida may be center stage for this year's election, but its also a largely complicated and interesting place to outsiders during non-election years.
This is actually the last statewide and local jobs report we'll receive before Election Day on November 6th.The unemployment rate is down in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach Counties and statewide, but not for the same reasons.
Streaming The Florida Roundup Presidential Debate Special live from Lynn University!
Host Phil Latzman, along with a panel of journalists and political thinkers are discussing U.S. foreign policy - the subject of the presidential debate - as well as other issues important to Florida voters in this election.
Panel members include:
Debate performances aside, President Barack Obama is already claiming a "ground game" victory in Florida.
His campaign has sent out a memo touting gains made in voter registration and absentee voting numbers compared to four years ago
It also points out that the campaign never left Florida after the 2008 win over John McCain, and has trained 20-thousand people to register voters.
The campaign also says voter registration among black and Hispanic voters has increased substantially since the last election.
Florida resident Ricardo Devengoechea had what the Venezuelans needed: an actual lock of Simón Bolivar's hair that could be used to authenticate the bones stashed in Caracas' National Pantheon. Reportedly, he lent them the hair, the match was made and Bolívar's certified skull was used to make the digital facial image that you see on this page.
Voting in Florida has always been a contentious issue. But now, it's even more so thanks to new voting laws passed by the Florida Legislature.
House Bill 1355 - passed in April 2011 - mandates a total of 80 changes to Florida's election laws.
Among the most noticeable are restrictions on voter registration, form filing deadlines and reductions in early voting days.
How they may impacting the 2012 election is the subject of a new documentary airing on CNN this Sunday, called "Voters in America: Who Counts."

Slide show
Slide show: Low-calorie-density foods for weight control
By Mayo Clinic staff
The concept of energy density
Energy density is the number of calories (energy) in a given amount (volume) of food. For weight control, your best bets are healthy foods that provide low energy with high volume. By choosing foods that are low in calories, but high in volume, you can eat more and feel fuller on fewer calories. Certain foods, such as fruits and vegetables, tend to be low in energy density — they're low-calorie foods.
So what about raisins? They actually have a high energy density — they pack a lot of calories into a small package. For example, 1/4 cup of raisins has about 100 calories.

It happened last Sunday, the first day toll charges began on the brand new, high speed toll road. This time hogs had nothing to do with it.
The single casualty was a woman from Lockhart, Texas. Her name was Martha "Melinda" Harris and she was a nurse. She was sixty years old.
The accident happened when Mrs. Harris was entering the Highway 130 toll road from U.S. Hwy. 183 in a Honda Civic from the southbound lane. She was t-boned by a Chevy Tahoe before she even really got onto the highway. The driver and occupant of the Tahoe were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Many believe the state had lowered the speed limit from 65 mph to 55 in that section of Highway 183 to encourage people to move onto the toll road. Local officials had asked the state to increase the speed limit back to 65 mph. This was partially out of concerns that the slower speed would cause problems as drivers entered traffic going 85 mph on the toll road.
Jonathan Adkins of the Governor's Highway Safety Association states the obvious:
"Our experience, based on history and research, is when speeds go up, deaths unfortunately go up."
Of course authorities wouldn't speculate on how fast the Tahoe that struck the Civic was traveling other than it "may have been going in the 70 mph range" since it was already on the 85 mph toll road.
Yeah right.
The entire 41 mile trip to drive costs $6.17 for those with toll tags and $8.21 without them. That's right. It comes up to about .15 cents a mile.
The private consortium SH 130 Concession Company that built and is responsible for maintaining the road for fifty years paid the state $100 million dollars. This was after the Texas Transportation Commission voted to allow a posted speed limit of 85 mph on Texas 130.
It doesn't take a clairvoyant to see a future lawsuit over this adolescent 'need for speed' nonsense. It's a gimmick that's going to get people killed.

1. Patient's Date of Diagnosis
2. PSA at time of Diagnosis
3. Gleason Score at Diagnosis
4. Prior and current Treatments
5. Current PSA
6. Patient's location (US state or country)
When sending your initial inquiry by email, please do not send attachments.
The Helpline staff consists of:
Jan Manarite – Jan is the wife of a prostate cancer patient. She joined PCRI in October 2001 and works handling Helpline calls, e-mails and speaking publicly. Jan and Dominic's story of empowerment has caught the attention of local newspapers, magazines, and TV stations. Her passion is to spread education about important PC issues throughout her neighborhood of Lee County. Jan can be reached in Sanibel, Florida at 800-641-PCRI or email@example.com. More about Jan.
Ferd Becker – Ferd Becker is an Active Surveillance patient who has worked with both Dr Stephen Strum and Dr Charles "Snuffy" Myers.

General Idi Amin Dada [DVD]
Screenplay : Barbet Schroeder
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1974
The old joke goes something like this:
"Q. If you're on a football team with an 800-pound gorilla, what position do you let him play?"
"A. Any position he wants."
In Barbet Schroeder's 1974 documentary General Idi Amin Dada, the titular dictator, who ruled the small African nation of Uganda from 1971 to 1979, is the 800-pound gorilla, playing any and every position he wants. Mistaken that Schroeder and his small crew were there to make a celebratory portrait of him, Idi Amin gave them free access to his daily routines, which seem to consist of little more than appearing at a series of staged events. Meanwhile, Uganda, a country that had been historically prosperous, was sliding into severe economic decline and rapid inflation, and some 300,000 citizens were being killed by the military.
Idi Amin came into power in 1971, less than a decade after Uganda had become independent from the British, when he staged a military coup and ousted then-Prime Minister Milton Obote, under whom Amin had served as chief of the military. A former heavy-weight boxer with military training in the British army, Amin was a sizable presence, an enormous Nubian who could be affable one moment, and seething the next. In the film, he is almost always depicted as the former, because he knew he was on-camera. The film's subtitle, "A Self-Portrait," is all too appropriate because it never depicts Amin as he truly was. Rather, it depicts him as how he wanted to be seen.
A true narcissist, Idi Amin was so taken with himself that he was incapable of realizing how bad the film ultimately makes him look. Even though it was made with his full cooperation and the final product had his seal of approval--this did, however, require Schroeder to remove roughly two and a half minutes of footage--the "self-portrait" turns out to be an awkward doodle, a undeniably charming and funny, yet ruthless despot's pathetic attempt to pass himself off as a benign populist following the will of the people.
Much of the film consists of interviews with Idi Amin, in which he discusses his assumed popularity, his politics, and his visions for the future. Schroeder, who first emerged as a producer during the French New Wave of the early 1960s, interjects very little of his own sensibility into the film; rather, he allows Idi Amin to speak freely and portray himself as he wishes, which turns out to be the equivalent of digging his own public-relations grave (there is a sparse amount of narration, much of which clearly runs counter to Idi Amin's vision of himself). Where he intended it to be self-serving, the film turned out to be self-defeating.
Ruthlessly anti-Semitic, Idi Amin can only emit a deep, skin-crawling chuckle when Schroeder asks him about his admiration of Hitler and a statement he once made that Hitler had not killed enough Jews. At another point, Idi Amin goes into a long explanation of how Israelis were planning to poison the Nile and how he would welcome Palestinian terrorists if they hijacked a plane and asked to land in Uganda (which is exactly what happened in 1976, and Idi Amin was humiliated when the Israeli army stormed the plane and rescued the hostages right under his nose).
General Idi Amin Dada is filled with moments of sheer absurdity, such as the scene in which Idi Amin is engaged in a playful swim race with several men much younger and more athletic than he. Once they dive in the water, you can't divert your eyes from Idi Amin's spastic swimming style and the fact that, rather than racing in a straight line, he moves diagonally across the pool, recklessly cutting off half of the other swimmers, at one point his flailing arms becoming like weapons. When it's over, all he can do is laugh and declare, "I won," utterly incapable of understanding the absurdity of his "victory." Another scene of note is a meeting with the country's top physicians, in which Idi Amin proves both his intellectual inferiority by rambling pointlessly in a dull lecture style and his thin suppression of anger when the camera closes in on his slowly tightening face when one of the physicians dares to make anything sounding remotely like a critical comment.
Essentially a failed piece of propaganda, General Idi Amin Dada is a fascinating and unnerving look at a mass murderer playing the role of the good leader. Partly out of self-delusion, partly out of willful role-playing, and partly out of sheer hubris, General Idi Amin ruled Uganda for close to a decade, killing hundreds of thousands of people and running a once vibrant economy and society into the ground. In Schroeder's film, he emerges not as the strong, caring leader he so obviously desired to be seen as, but rather as the very portrait of, to use Hannah Arendt's phrase, the banality of evil.

1.33:1 (Academy Aspect Ratio) In the video interview included on this disc, director Barbet Schroeder talks about how viewing General Idi Amin Dada in its original 16mm Ektachrome was a revelation after years of faded, blown-up 35mm prints. The transfer on this disc is just as impressive, with solid, bold colors, fine detail, and just a slight veneer of grain that gives the image a particularly film-like appearance. The MTI Digital Restoration System was used to clean up the image, and, with the exception of a few barely perceptible vertical hairlines, it is almost entirely free of all nicks, scratches, and other artifacts. | |
English Dolby Digital 1.0 Monaural The digitally restored monaural soundtrack, mastered at 24-bit from the 16mm magnetic sound master, is crisp and clear. | |
Video interview with director Barbet Schroeder Recorded exclusively for this DVD in 2001, this intriguing 27-minute video interview is divided into seven chapters in which Schroeder discusses his approach to documentary film, what is was like working with Idi Amin, and his reflections on the film almost three decades later, among other things.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Psalms - Chapter 114
Flint Stone. Meet the Flint Stone.
When Israel left Egypt, a foreign land whose language they did not adopt, G-d selected the Tribe of Judah for a position of prominence. (This was based largely on the actions of Nachshon ben Aminadav, leader of the Tribe, who placed his trust in G-d and led the charge into the Red Sea.) At the Red Sea, Israel left Egyptian servitude and started reporting exclusively to G-d. The Red Sea split, just as the Jordan would later do in the time of Joshua (see Joshua chapter 3). When G-d gave the Torah, the mountains around Sinai trembled. David asks what made the sea, the Jordan and the mountains act this way. It was because they were in awe of G-d, Who is Master of the entire world! G-d brings water from rocks, as He did for the Jews in the wilderness; He will likewise turn stones of flint into fountains of water.
The phrase for a nation that speaks a different language (referring to Egypt) is Me'am Loez. The phrase was used for an 18th-century commentary on Tanach by Rabbi Yaakov Culi, which was written in Ladino (and is the best-known work in that language).

Episode V: Cinema Styles Strikes Back
My severance had run its course months before, my unemployment had gone into extensions and even those extensions had stopped, pending a Congressional vote. If not for my wife's income, we would have lost everything. Even so, we needed the unemployment to cover the bills my wife's income couldn't cover alone, which left precious little for groceries for the household, a household with six people. Our oldest son helped out too with money from his job, bless him. Things were desperate when, finally, on July 15, 2010, exactly one year to the day that I had left my last job, I got a call from my most recent job interview, only the second I'd had. They offered me a job. It was a job in retail, tough work moving things and stocking and being on my feet all day long. It was a rough adjustment to make and the pay was the same as the unemployment but, and this is important, it was pay from a job, which meant it wouldn't stop unless I stopped working, so I took it.
The rest, as they say, is history. After work I was exhausted and in no mood to write or even watch a movie. The schedule was erratic, never getting two days off in a row, with changing hours daily. Posting here at Cinema Styles plummeted. From three or four posts a week last year to two, then one, then, maybe, one every couple of weeks. The Invisible Edge stopped completely (and will, most likely, remain closed for business) and my postings at The Gunslinger slowed to a damn-near standstill. Unexplained Cinema suffered the same fate as the other three.
But that was then, this is now.
Two weeks into my new job I got another call. It was a call from the National Archives where I had interviewed for a position that I wasn't really qualified for but went after anyway (that was the other interview I had). I didn't get that one but now, months later, another job had opened up, one that I was eminently qualified for with my administrative and managerial background. They asked me to come in and talk, which I did on my day off and, the very next day at work, I got the call that they wanted me for the job. After one year of being unemployed with no prospects in sight I was now forced to go to the manager of my new job and apologize for having to give my notice a mere fourteen days into the venture because of another job. It was made all the more difficult by the fact that I had repeatedly assured her that despite being overqualified I wouldn't let her down. But as hard as that news was to break there really wasn't any choice (and she completely understood and thought it ridiculous that I would even fret over it). The new job puts me back on a Monday through Friday, nine to five schedule in a nice office environment (although it's an office for working so I'll still be offline during the day). And for a history and archival buff like me it's quite something to know that the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights are just a few seconds walk from my office.
As for Cinema Styles I already feel refreshed and am eager to write again. I'm looking forward to another exciting October and a refreshing fall season of new posts. I also started writing a series of deconstructions in the last few months because of something indefinable that made me want to and since I've now written several, sitting in draft form on my edit page, I figure I might as well post one a week or so and call it a new series. There's a definite format to each one and I'll put the first one up on Sunday but until then, I'll say no more, except that, having been written whilst unemployed, they do reflect a certain mood, a certain... state of mind.
Until then, I'm just happy to get back to posting (at The Gunslinger too, where I'm back to my usual posting quota this week) and Unexplained Cinema will start back up next week as well. I also look forward to visiting all my usual blogs again. It's been too long and I miss reading all the great posts out there and commenting on them. And thanks to everyone for sticking around during the lean months here at Cinema Styles. Hopefully, it won't happen again, or, at least, not too often. For now, it's time to start watching movies again.

That's amazing news, Greg. Congratulations, and welcome back! Also, since you work there now, can you lend me the Declaration of Independence for a few days? I promise I won't burn it.

Fantastic! I'm really happy for you Greg. I wish you and your family all the best. The job sounds like it will be something you'll really enjoy doing and of course it will also help pay the bills, which is always a good thing. Congratulations!!!

The general idea of this piece, if not the specifics, really registered with me. I don't have the family pressures that you do but my summer (and my Spring, really) had me doing grueling physical work that sapped my time and, more importantly, energy. When you talk about how you were too tired to even watch a movie, I really felt like I could have written that, and I feel like I said it 1,000 times these last few months. I do a desk job nights and weekends but I was always just so uninspired. Leaving the job that physically drained me because school starts for me soon has really rejuvenated me, and I feel like I'm ready to, y'know, write and be friends with you guys again.
And we've talked about this before but I give you a lot of credit for persevering through your trying time with unemployment. Yeah, you had your obligations, but it's so easy to get dejected and lose faith and, even if you did for a time, I don't understand how that didn't get the better of you. Congrats on your new employment, you've worked hard for it and I wish you the best. - August 19, 2010 at 10:58 PM

Also: you wrote this post because of my comment earlier, didn't ya? I know you did.

Hurray! That is truly wonderful news! I am very happy for you and your family.

Okay, Bill, but no lemon juice on the back! Seriously, I mean, it's just incredible to be there. To have an office, in the building, down the hall from our founding documents. Behind us are the Smithsonians and three blocks up, the Capitol. I still kind of can't believe it.
- August 19, 2010 at 11:07 PM
- Greg said...
Kimberly, thanks so much! It's already a great job because of the people and the location but also, like you said, it pays the bills. I am SO THANKFUL for everything that has happened in the last two months, I can't begin to tell you.

- Ross Ruediger said...
Damn, Greg. I had no idea times were so tough for you. Very glad to hear you're back in the game, in both the real world and online. Congrats!
- August 19, 2010 at 11:11 PM
- Greg said...
Ryan, thanks! It is so hard to want to do anything after a physically draining day, isn't it? I mean, I found myself watching ten minute snippets of things or short tv episodes, from Twilight Zone to Futurama, rather than movies. I just didn't want to invest more than 30 minutes to anything. I had to eat, shower and go to bed and all three of those were far more important to me after a day's work.
But now I feel rejuvinated and refreshed and, yes, I had to write this after your comment. I didn't want you to lose your temper. - August 19, 2010 at 11:14 PM
- Greg said...
Dane, thanks so much! It's a great feeling to be back in a place I feel comfortable. I felt disconnected for so long here.
- August 19, 2010 at 11:15 PM
- Greg said...
Ross, yeah, it's been a bad stretch these last months, especially once the severance ran out and my bi-weekly income dropped by 80 percent when the unemployment took over. It was one hell of an adjustment to make and I'm glad it will be a little easier now.

The National Archives! That is so cool, I did the tourist thing there once, it was fascinating and awe-inspiring being in the same building as the Declaration of Independence. And CONGRATULATIONS on getting what is going to be a great job.

- Vanwall said...
Congrats, and wonderful news! It seems like a dream job, I'm glad you went to the original interview anyway - I've seen a coupla friends get lucky with the follow on jobs.
- August 19, 2010 at 11:23 PM
- Greg said...
Kassy, it's an amazing building! I mean, they have one of only four handwritten copies of the Magna Carta in the world (copies made in 1297!) on display. And the letters from famous historical figures on display in the new museum there, just amazing. Letters from George Washington written on lined paper (blue lines, red vertical on the left) that makes it look like it could have been written only a few years ago.
- August 19, 2010 at 11:27 PM
- Greg said...
Vanwall, thanks! I never expected this other job to open up like this. After I didn't get the first job I interviewed for I felt so depressed because, even though I knew it was a job I wasn't qualified for, I wanted it so badly if only to work there. When another chance came up it was pretty amazing.

- Neil Sarver said...
Congratulations, man!
I'm in a similar position, although not yet able to give that notice at my retail job. But with family changes coming, I can't leave this job while I wait or turn down the coming better job.
I'm very excited for you. I'm glad you're finally doing something you're feeling good about. I know how things have been in my household with employment issues and such. It sounds like your situation has, if anything, been more difficult.
Continuing good luck. - August 19, 2010 at 11:36 PM
- Greg said...
Neil, sounds pretty incredible that we have much the same situation. Congrats to you on you better job coming, too! I've been training with the outgoing person this week and halfway through next week he's gone and I'm on my own so I'm a little nervous about getting everything down but overall I feel great about it. Thanks again, and good luck with yours too!

Should I stop sending the cheese, then?
- August 19, 2010 at 11:57 PM
- bill r. said...
Arbo, I would LOVE some cheese. If Greg doesn't need it anymore, send it on to me.
As for the lack of energy described by Greg and Ryan -- brother, do I hear you. I feel like that a lot lately. Less so these past couple of weeks, but that's an unusual circumstance. During my ordinary working life, when I get home, if I feel like watching a movie, then it's going to be something like the CLASH OF THE TITANS remake or KICK-ASS. Outside of that, it's cooking competitions and whatever my wife wants to watch. - August 20, 2010 at 12:07 AM

Greg, I'm just so glad that not only have you found superior gainful employment, you landed fucking cool superior gainful employment. Well done sir!

Greg - The National Archive? That is unbelievably cool! Congratulations on not only getting back on your feet, but back in style! Amazing!

Congratulations, Greg, and welcome back. I will probably be laid off in the next month or so. It's good to know it has a happy ending.
- August 20, 2010 at 2:53 AM
- Greg said...
Arbo's cheese rations were some of the best processed cheeses I've ever eaten. One, they never need refrigeration and, two, they don't actually contain any dairy so if you're lactose intolerant it's not a problem.
Bill, I'll send my extra rations your way. - August 20, 2010 at 6:40 AM
- Greg said...
Oh, and Bill, the energy thing is big when your time is limited. By the time I get online now it's around eight or so (although that should change as I get home earlier now) and who's got time to watch a movie in the three hours before you go to bed and still get other things done? Thank goodness Futurama's on instant. Oh, that Fry.
- August 20, 2010 at 6:44 AM
- Greg said...
Rod, thank you my good man! It feels good.
- August 20, 2010 at 6:45 AM
- Greg said...
Thanks, Marilyn! It's such a nice feeling walking into that building each day. I'm sure it will fade in time but for now it still feels quite special.
- August 20, 2010 at 6:50 AM
- Greg said...
Mr. Peel, thanks! I'm just happy to be writing again. I had no idea how much I missed it until I couldn't do it any more.
- August 20, 2010 at 6:51 AM
- Greg said...
Schloofy, oh no! My current take is that things are improving. I've talked with at least three people in my new job and the job I had immediately before it and they too were out of work for a long while before finally getting jobs and now, they've even gotten more offers and have unemployed friends also getting work so, I think, it's turning around. Still tough, but not as impossible as it seemed a year ago.

Great news, Greg. Can't wait to see you get back in the saddle here.

So how many air locks/security checks do you have to pass through before you get to your desk?
- August 20, 2010 at 10:50 AM

One checkpoint for employees who have been cleared with I.D. For visitors, there's a lot more.

Major congrats on your new gig, Greg. I was concerned that rather than falling off the face of the earth you were seriously contemplating stepping off it.
- August 20, 2010 at 11:54 AM
- Greg said...
Thanks on the congrats, Ivan! I'd never step off but there were times I justed wanted to crawl in a hole to get away from the stress.

- Jason Bellamy said...
Congrats! A friend of mine settled for a physically taxing (lifting, on his feet) job a few years back for the same reason you took yours. And, long story short, it's taken him too long to get out of it. Very happy for you that you found something that seems much more fitting so soon. Oh, and welcome back to blogging!
- August 20, 2010 at 1:36 PM
- Greg said...
Thanks, Jason! I had the same fears that maybe I'd be in the position too long and start to break down physically much sooner than expected. I hope your friend gets less physically demanding work soon.

- Brian Doan said...
Great news, Greg! I'm very happy for you and your family, and the new job sounds incredible. Just avoid any manic visits from Nicolas Cage and Jon Voight, ok? I don't care if they tell you it's a matter of "national importance"-- chances are you are just being dragged into a SNAKE EYES sequel.
Best of luck at the fantastic new position! - August 20, 2010 at 5:24 PM

My God, that's terrifying. And thanks for well wishes, Brian, I feel very lucky indeed. - August 20, 2010 at 5:31 PM

Fantastic news! Congrats, Greg. How fortunate to be so near all those magnificent documents. If only more Americans would read and study them -- even if only in facsimile form!

Greg - I don't know about you, but I worked at the Tribune Tower for 5 or 6 years, and I never got over the sense of wonder at walking into that great building, a temple of journalism, that I had on my first day.
- August 20, 2010 at 8:18 PM
- Greg said...
Jim, thanks and I couldn't agree more. Those documents say a lot of great things but you've got to read them first.
- August 20, 2010 at 8:19 PM
- Greg said...
Marilyn, I probably won't get over it either. The guy I'm replacing was a history major and still walks through the exhibits every morning, he says, to see what new letters from presidents or other fascinating documents they've decided to display. I imagine I will too.

Wonderful news, Greg. Congratulations. Now you can sneak into the vault and sign your name to the Declaration of Independence. It could be years before anyone notices!

Pierre, thank you kindly. The Declaration of Independence is rather faded now but still amazing to behold in its sealed case.

You're treasure to the cinema blogging world and it's nice to know things are looking on the up and up!
Cheers to more styles coming our way.
PS. I was laid off earlier this year and took two part time jobs to create one full time job. The only problem was the hours were alternating between overnights and days.
My blogging has taken a hit, but hopefully I will be back soon! - August 25, 2010 at 10:58 PM
- Greg said...
Joseph, you're far too kind but thank you, very much. I'm sorry to hear you were laid off. As you know, I know just how difficult that can be and I certainly hope you get back up and running soon, very soon.

A Hydro-electrifying Performance
Over half of Canada's electricity currently comes from hydropower and any excess power is sold to other countries. With over 40% of Canada's water resources located in Quebec, it is an ideal location to develop this renewable source of energy.
Hydroelectric giant Hydro-Quebec is in the process of building a new hydropower complex in Ville de Bai-Comeau, located on the shores of the Saint Lawrence River in the Côte-Nord region of Canada, and situated 260 miles (420 km) northeast of...

Paul McCartney will reportedly work with producer Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Duran Duran) on his upcoming album.
The pair apparently met when Ronson served as the DJ at McCartney's wedding to Nancy Shevell, and have spent the past week working together in New York City.
"This week they went to the studio and started knocking about together to see what they can do together," a source told the Sunday Mirror. "Everybody's really excited about the prospect of Mark working with Paul."
After releasing Kisses on the Bottom, a traditional pop and jazz album, McCartney reportedly wants to get back to something more contemporary.
"Paul respects Mark's knowledge and is wanting to produce a classic album with a young hip edge," the source continued. "And obviously Mark is over the moon to be working with a Beatle."
