Ellen DeGeneres, during her Oscars opening monologue, reminded the world about Jennifer Lawrence's infamous fall last year on her way to accepting her Best Actress award – and revealed the "American Hustle" star tripped on the red carpet Sunday. "If you win tonight, I think we should bring you the Oscar," DeGeneres told Lawrence.
DeGeneres, back hosting the Academy Awards for the first time in seven years, didn't stumble – physically or otherwise – during the 3 1/2-hour ABC broadcast. She didn't give herself much of a chance to – DeGeneres didn't kickoff the Oscars with a big production number. She didn't even launch into one of her trademark dance routines.
But the comedian did a stand-up job with pretension-puncturing one-liners and audience-roving bits aimed at keeping the stars as down to earth as her image. "I think you should think of yourselves as winners – not all of you, but the people who have won before," DeGeneres quipped.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Her solid, play-it-safe performance came a year after "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane breathed irreverent new life into the Oscars, but offended some with, among other things, a tongue-in-cheek musical salute to female nudity on film.
DeGeneres generally clothed her jokes in good taste, even if she made Jonah Hill's brush with immodesty in "The Wolf of Wall Street" a running gag. "No, no, I don't want to see it," she told him during one of her frequent forays into the crowd at the Dolby Theatre.
A crack about audience member Liza Minnelli being portrayed by an impersonator ("Good job, sir!") came off as uncharacteristically uncharitable. But the closest DeGeneres got to edgy was some early awards handicapping: "Possibility No. 1: '12 Years a Slave' wins Best Picture. Possibility No. 2: You're all racists."
DeGeneres displayed more confidence Sunday than in her initial 2007 hosting stint, perhaps owing to her growing ease as a versatile entertainer whose success rests in coming off more as a viewer surrogate than one of the Hollywood gang.
She proved at her best putting her fan-like persona to work between awards, snapping (and tweeting) selfies with big-name actors and giving Bradley Cooper scratch-off lottery tickets as a "consolation prize" after he lost Best Supporting Actor honors to Jared Leto. About midway through the show, she asked if anybody was hungry: "I have this crazy idea that I'll order some pizza."
She did – and handed out slices to the likes of Harrison Ford and Martin Scorsese, in a charming move. More significantly, she served up comedic comfort food to the billion or so folks watching from home.
DeGeneres' second Academy Awards stint won't make anyone forget Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's strong Golden Globes return performance seven weeks ago. And she didn't challenge time-gilded memories of Oscar glory day hosts like Bob Hope, Johnny Carson and Billy Crystal.
When faced with high expectations, DeGeneres didn't jump. She didn't even dance. But she did fine just by keeping her feet on the ground, being herself and reinforcing her image as one of us.

Maria Landry is my grandfather's first wife. What's the connection with Eugène Dubé?
Leo Lagace Senior and Maria Landry Landry were married on September 16, 1912.
In this page of the parish registers of Saint-Hyacinthe-le-Confesseur church it is said that Leo Lagace was the son of Stanislas Lagacé and Henriette Alexandre.
This is the bottom part of the page…
Stanislas is said to be a contractor living in Bristol, Connecticut, and Henriette Alexandre is deceased.
What about Eugène Dubé?
Now take a look at the other page…
The witness is Eugène Dubé.
At that time I did not know about the 1900 U.S. census available on the Mormons' site. It's only after that I connected the dots. Eugène Dubé led me to the U.S. censuses and this is how I found my grandfather…
Eugène is my grandfather's brother-in-law. He married Lilie Lagacé one of Henriette Alexandre's 13 children.
I managed to find 12 of her children. The one I did not find probably was born in the U.S. like Antoine and Stanislas II because I could not find any information in Notre-Dame des Neiges' parish register where most of her children were baptized.
In the 1911 Canadian census I found both Eugène and Léo. Eugène was living with his wife and kids while Léo was a boarder in Léandre Gervais' house.
Who is Léandre Gervais? Well we won't get into that. Let's just say he was living in the parish of Notre-Dame-des-Anges in 1881.
Next time who is Marie Landry? This is quite a story.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Amiodarone injection is used to correct life-threatening heart rhythm problems called ventricular arrhythmias. This medicine is used in patients who have already been treated with other medicines that did not work.
Amiodarone injection belongs to the group of medicines known as antiarrhythmics. It works directly on the heart tissue and will slow the nerve impulses in the heart. This helps keep the heart rhythm normal.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals.

In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are receiving this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins.
Your doctor will give you a few doses of this medicine until your condition improves, and then switch you to an oral medicine that works the same way. If you have any concerns about this, talk to your doctor.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you receive this medicine to make sure that it is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Using this medicine while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur, especially when you get up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. These symptoms are more likely to occur when you begin using this medicine, or when the dose is increased.
Liver problems may occur while you are using this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you are having more than one of these symptoms: abdominal pain or tenderness; clay-colored stools; dark urine; decreased appetite; fever; headache; itching; loss of appetite; nausea and vomiting; skin rash; swelling of the feet or lower legs; unusual tiredness or weakness; or yellow eyes or skin.
This medicine can cause changes in your heart rhythm, such as a condition called QT prolongation. It may cause fainting or serious side effects in some patients. Contact your doctor right away if you have any symptoms of heart rhythm problems, such as fast, pounding, or irregular heartbeats.
Tell your doctor right away if you are having shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, or any type of breathing problem while being treated with this medicine.
Check with your doctor immediately if blurred vision, difficulty in reading, or any other change in vision occurs during or after treatment. Your doctor may want you to have your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor).
Grapefruits and grapefruit juice may increase the side effects from amiodarone injection by increasing the amount of this medicine in your body. You should not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you are using this medicine.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal (e.g., St. John's wort) or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor or nurse immediately if any of the following side effects occur:

|2011 BHS Grad Maria Asdourian
CHESTNUT HILL, MA (April 2013) – Boston College sophomore Maria Asdourian, a biology major whose research interests focus on the neurobiology of Alzheimer's disease, has been awarded a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, which is considered the premier undergraduate fellowship in the sciences.
Goldwater Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit to the country's most promising college students in math, science and engineering. This year, 271 sophomores and juniors were selected from among 1,107 nominees. Many Goldwater Scholars go on to earn prestigious post-graduate fellowships, including Rhodes, Marshall and Churchill scholarships, and many others.
"I am grateful for this opportunity," said Asdourian. "There are so many phenomenal science, math and engineering students throughout the country. It's an honor to be a part of this group of Goldwater scholars."
The 2011 graduate of Burlington (Mass.) High School said she was home for the Easter break when she found out she had received the prize, which provides scholarship assistance for two years.
"I think I screamed," Asdourian said. "My mom was home and she thought there was something wrong. But it was such a surprise. Both of my parents were so happy. It was nice to be home to share it with them."
Asdourian attributes her interest in biological research, specifically in Alzheimer's, to the difficult experience of watching her grandfather eventually succumb to the disease.
"He always looked lost in his own thoughts and it was hard to see that," said Asdourian. "But there were areas of cognition where he was fine – like playing backgammon or counting out jelly beans. I just felt sad and frustrated that he was written off while still here."
In addition to better understanding the pathology of Alzheimer's, she is particularly interested in whether the brain's ability to adapt and "re-wire" itself holds secrets that could one day lead to therapies to combat Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
Asdourian, who plans to earn an MD/PhD after graduation, has been an undergraduate researcher in the lab of Professor of Biology Daniel A. Kirschner, a structural neurobiologist who studies the molecular organization of Alzheimer's disease proteins and diseases of nerve myelin in the peripheral and central nervous systems.
Kirschner, who nominated Asdourian for the scholarship, said she devoured scientific articles he suggested she read and later established herself as a quick study in the lab despite having had no bench experience prior to arriving at the University.
Among the many undergraduates who have worked in his lab throughout the years, Kirschner said Asdourian "has uniquely demonstrated an unusual talent for and exceptional passion about neurobiological research." Her independent research, using the sensitive technique of x-ray diffraction, has revealed previously unsuspected changes in peripheral myelin structure that bear similarities to cuprizone-induced defects found in the central nervous system.
Kirschner wrote in his nomination letter, "Maria is precisely the kind of exceptional student who would truly benefit from the opportunities (a Goldwater Scholarship) would provide – not only for the encouragement it will give her in her laboratory research and intended career, but also for the networking opportunities with peers and scientists that will be afforded to her through this honor."
Asdourian credited her father Avo, an architect, and her mother Esther, a chiropractor, with setting examples that inspired her work ethic and instilled a desire to help others.
"Growing up, the most important thing was to be of service to others and to be welcoming to the people in your life. Those were constant messages," she said of her parents, who emigrated from Lebanon to the U.S., where Maria was born.

Ok, maybe not THAT serious, but I've got your attention!
I hate to sound like a commercial, but another board that I go to just got the Tapatalk plugin. It's free to forum owners, and it makes the board integrate with an app that is available for most smartphone platforms. It is SERIOUSLY awesome! We are having so much fun with it. I don't get to the board as much as I'd like because I don't have the time or want to sit at the computer at home after doing it all day, plus deal with my toddler, husband, dogs, etc. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
But anyway it's FREE to forum owners, and it's totally awesome. I am way more impressed with it than I anticipated. You can even upload pics right from your phone to the Tapatalk server. It's as easy to post to the board as it is to post to Facebook.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink...
For the record, I don't work there or know anybody that does. I just love the app so much that I want all of my forums to get it so that I can easy check in more often

EPA issued the rule under the "Good Neighbor" protections of the Clean Air Act, which ensure that the emissions from one state's power plants do not cause harmful pollution levels in neighboring states. On December 30, 2011, in one of the last official judicial environmental actions of 2011, the D.C. Circuit issued a ruling to stay U.S. EPA's controversial Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) finalized on July 6, 2011, and published in the Federal Register on August 8, 2011 [See WIMS 7/7/11]. According to the 2-page Court order issued on December 30, the CSAPR, which just became effective on October 7, 2011, is now on hold pending judicial review until at least April 2012 [See WIMS 1/3/12].
According to EPA and supporters, CSAPR would reduce power plant sulfur dioxide emissions by 73 percent and oxides of nitrogen by 54 percent from 2005 levels. These emissions and the resulting particulate pollution and ozone (more commonly known as soot and smog) impair air quality and harm public health -- both near the plants and hundreds of miles downwind. They indicate that CSAPR would provide healthier air for 240 million Americans in downwind states. EPA estimates that the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, when fully implemented, would: Save up to 34,000 lives; Prevent 15,000 heart attacks; Prevent 400,000 asthma attacks; and Provide $120 billion to $280 billion in health benefits for the nation each year.
Nine states (CT, DE, IL, MA, MD, NY, NC, RI, VT), the District of Columbia, five major cities (Baltimore, Bridgeport, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia), Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), the American Lung Association, the Clean Air Council, NRDC, Sierra Club, and several major power companies (Calpine, Exelon and Public Service Enterprise Group) have all intervened in support of the clean air protections. On the other side are: other power companies (AEP, Southern, GenOn, Luminant) and states including AL, FL, GA, IN, KS, LA, MI, MS, NE, OH, OK, SC, TX, VA, WI .

Almost every major city has a visitor's center where people can go for information about the city and all it has to offer. Newark, NJ, the 65th largest city in the country, doesn't have one.
As a step toward solving this problem, the Newark and Suburban section of the New Jersey chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA-NJ) commissioned a design competition that challenged architects to design a Newark Visitor's Center. Although it was a conceptual design competition, they hope the competition will encourage such a building to be built in Newark.
The winning entry was designed by a team from Di Domenico + Partners of Long Island City, NY. The firm created structure with an undulating green roof that's a metaphor for the Passaic River.
"The challenge of the competition was to design a center that would be a destination spot on its own, and that would also create a clear identity for the city. The contestants more than delivered," says Alok K. Saksena, the competition's creator and director.
"With so many comprehensive and intelligent submissions, many of which demonstrated an extraordinary degree of creativity, it was hard to settle on just four."
The contest called for a design for a 13,435-square-foot green building with multi-faceted uses that would fit into the surrounding community and reflect the city's diversity. The uses included an information center, an auditorium, an interactive display area, gallery space, a conference room, a café, and a gift shop. The contest also called for creating innovative solutions for parking while still providing for a pedestrian-friendly site.
In addition to serving as a metaphor for the river, the green roof fulfills the competition's sustainability requirement by serving as an extension of the riverfront green belt, providing "lungs" for the city, as well as a place for residents to congregate informally and for more formal events, such as concerts and theater. The roof also functions as a means of conserving on energy costs and controlling stormwater runoff.

Do you know what you really want? What determines the choices you will make? Do you know people who act on compulsions, emotions or habits that fail to provide the results they want? Understanding motivation is one of the most empowering factors in achieving goals. And whether you are pursuing your own agenda or managing that of many, it is an indispensible tool. Our motivation not only helps us achieve goals, it also touches everything from intent to result. It influences the outcome in every area of our lives and ultimately defines us.
Aesthetics is a wonderful and rewarding career but, as many experienced professionals know, it is not one where growth and security is a sure thing. It takes much dedicated hard work and patience to finally see a busy schedule of reliable clients. In the meantime, and certainly after you are in regular demand, you will need to deepen and widen your customer relationships to avoid loss of interest and, ultimately, business. Skin care and makeup product sales are possibly the best and most profitable way for you to protect the trade you have earned.
There is a saying in business that nothing happens until someone sells something to somebody. If this is true, no business can be successful, or even survive, unless all efforts are directed at serving the people who do the buying – the clients. Unfortunately, where many aesthetic professionals fail is by not thinking of themselves as skin care technicians and salespeople.
It is important for you to put your time and energy in the treatment room into giving the client the best in skin and body care, but once you have them hooked on your services, do not risk not retaining them by your lack of series sales.
Compliment traditional aesthetic services with quick and easy add-on treatments. By doing this, you can show your clients new treatments they might not have experienced before - all while adding a few extra bucks to your day's progress. Below are a few examples for you to try in your practice!
Are you experiencing growth or is your practice or spa maintaining an internal status quo that actually puts it at risk for extinction? By expanding your menu of services, you can stay competitive – and even take a lucrative step ahead of the pack.
According to the 2008 Global Spa Summit in New York, "The global spa economy is estimated to be over $250 billion." And in spite of the economic downturn, the industry continues to grow at a breakneck pace.
In an ever changing profession, each day brings a new type of product, service, and treatment protocol. Body services have grown with increasing popularity, and not just for simple relaxation purposes, but for overall health and wellness benefits as well. Body services include: Wraps for detoxification, firming, and toning; Exfoliation; Cellulite reduction; Skin smoothing and softening; Scrubs; salts, sugars, loofahs, brushes, and shells; and massages - generally limited in the aesthetics profession to the application of beneficial ingredients to the body in order to improve the condition and beautify the skin.
All of this is information that you already know…
Most practitioners of skin treatments, (and I include doctors as well as aestheticians), are lousy salespeople. The reason being: People, who truly want to change a skin, thus change a life, are passionate about their work and often do wonders in the privacy of the treatment room. This is an "art" and like most artists, these types of people fear rejection. Rejection can be in the form of a client saying "no," after a treatment, when the client is asked to buy the home products recommended, to which they often respond, "No, I have just spent $300 dollars on products at the store and I want to use those first!"
How do retail stores entice you to enter their doors and linger over their shelves full of irresistible products? Visual merchandising is a skill that department stores, shopping malls, and chain retailers have spent many years perfecting. Retailing and merchandising is an important part of your overall business plan and it will dramatically increase business profitability at your skin care center, salon, day spa, or medical spa. Lauren Gartland is the president of Inspiring Champions, a business training and coaching company specializing in the beauty industry. Gartland, along with Salon Spa Cash Flow expert Gary Ahlquist, regularly advise business owners on how to instantly boost their profits with retail.
Most of us know the advantages of selling retail products well, so for the sake of argument let us look at the dark side of not selling our clients their home care products. In other words, what are the consequences of our failure to play the role of expert in recommending products for the day-to-day maintenance of our clients skin?
First, clients will end up buying department store products, drugstore, or infomercial brands. Not only will these products typically under-perform, they will generally not be suited to our client's skin type or needs, and thus, will fail to provide proper results. Our client will become frustrated.
The true value of a product can only be determined by the consumer, however it takes a passionate advisor to present the benefits and features of a product that establishes the worth. Think about it.
The rule of sales states it is better to have 100 satisfied customers than 1000 prospects! More sales are made with friendship than with salesmanship. This and another old business adage says "All things being equal, people want to do business with their friends" and if you have fostered your skin care business to care and help people, garnered trust based on your skills, personality, and client follow through
Sinking down into the soft Frette sheets for my one hour signature facial, I relinquish all my worries to Anna, my aesthetician. After a thorough cleansing, she begins to analyze my skin and says, "Ms. Hanson, would you like me to clean your brows. It is only $10?" "Of course yes, thank you, I reply." And as her hands touch my skin, she recommends that I add on the collagen-fleece mask for an additional $25 to take care of my dehydration issue, and I say, "Great." Here is a classic example of an upgrade and an add-on, so well done that "it did not hurt a bit."
Summertime can be a wonderful opportunity for spa therapists and technicians to become busy with summer-inspired upgrades to treatments. By combining your awareness of your client's needs and preferences with knowledge of the products you offer, you can easily "up sell" a treatment. You help a client decide to purchase a little extra something or "upgrade" a level before starting the treatment. It does not have to be a major change, just an adjustment to the plan.
In some areas, summers tend to be a slower season, mostly due to the migration north of those spa clients who are snowbirds.
Is your goal to be an expert in your field? Do you want to provide services that your clients can't duplicate at home? If you answered yes, it's time to break into the world of machines in the field of aesthetics practice, and harness these new trends to foster a competitive advantage.
Machines can ramp up your services and provide a level of results not otherwise possible through a conventional, non-machine facial. Many of the new technologies today are developed to not only have benefits inherent to their respective capabilities, but also to penetrate targeted active ingredients deeper into the skin, allowing better absorption of your skin care products.
I purchased my first skin care center just a little over a year after taking my state boards. I barely knew how to be a good aesthetician, non-the-less a good business owner! But for some wonderful reason, running a business came naturally to me and my business grew very fast. But hiring staff? That was a totally different experience! I was not a natural at all. There is definitely an art to interviewing and hiring the right person. Here is what I have learned from trial and error over my 25 years in this industry.
You have invested in the most comfortable aesthetic table available, selected a sleep-inducing soundtrack, and adorned your treatment room with calming colors and décor… You have created the consummate tranquil environment. Clients will surely slip into a deep relaxation the moment they set foot in your treatment room.
But there is still one component that could thwart your efforts. Clients, particularly first-time clients, typically come in with a host of worries and self-deprecating thoughts that will most definitely impact their experience. From lumps to bumps to stubble to wrinkles, they are subconsciously focused on their skin or body condition. It is also common for first-time spa visitors to experience some trepidation. Part of our job as aesthetic professionals is to ease any of these discomforts and eliminate anything that might be keeping the client from relaxation.
Building Strong Relationships to Create Strong Sales
What is your ethic? The word means "habit", and what we do every day, in work and at play, deeply defines who we are.
Every business these days says that it is in the "relationship"-business; this claim has become part of the marketplace jargon. And while it is trite to say, it could not be more true. It is also never been more important, as our marketplace becomes more and more crowded with parity commodities.
The most effective businesses today create what I call a "community of value" – based on both touch and technology. It is a cultural evolution which requires integration of left and right brain functions.
We are gadget-mad these days, and as a skin therapist or spa owner, it is essential that you be fluent in the language of the next century. But what is even more critical than artificial intelligence with you and your hardware and software is creating emotional intelligence between you and your clients. This E.I. is the basis of customer connectivity, which builds loyalty.
Theory of Corporate and Business Planning, Conflict Resolution, Human Resource Managers, verbal and written reprimands and warnings, OSHA, ADA, and ACLU are all important topics when it comes to owning a business. After pondering these topics for oh… 15 seconds, I came to realize that the main reason we became business owners is because we love the industry and are passionate about our work. The employees that we surround ourselves with at our place of business, although with many differences, are all practicing the same end philosophy, 100 percent customer care that is physical, social, and therapeutic.
My journey as a solo aesthetician began four and a half years ago. That time in my career was both scary and exciting. I thought long and hard before I made the leap of faith. However, I felt I wan ready. I look back on it now and realize how naïve I was.
I have learned a lot along the way. I made a lot of foolish mistakes as well as some great decisions that payed off. Luckily, my business has thrived and it continues to grow each year.
There's nothing nicer for a customer or employees than visiting a new spa. Everything about it says "new". It's exciting. There is shiny new equipment that works. Freshly painted walls and new floor coverings. Unstained linens and robes. Its clean and neat with everything in place. But just like people, spas age. And many times as spa owners or managers the daily tasks of running the business gets in the way of paying real attention to maintenance, upkeep, and in general, the spa's image. In fact, when we're busy working and in the trenches every day, we sometimes lose perspective and get used to things, accepting things the way they are—same ol', same ol'.

THIS JUICE BUGZ Somewhere between Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Batman there is Tim Burton's feature length sophomore effort, Beetlejuice. Upon a recent rewatch, I realized I'd forgotten how truly amazing, wildly inventive and original this phantasmagoric odd-ball comedy was! It's quite frankly the purest Burton experience for me. It's just silly how much of JUICE's visual language oozes with Burtonisms! Add to that the sweet (as in cool) dialogue and characters created by co-authors Michael McDowell and Larry Wilson. I'm kinda in love with it lately!
THE DIRT ON THE DEAD… Adam and Barbara Maitland just died. Played with great wholesomeness by Alec Baldwin (Adam) and Geena Davis (Barbara). So they die. But for a while they don't know it. It becomes more apparent to them when they find a copy of the Handbook For The Recently Deceased laying around the house and the rude awakening that the Deetz' are the new occupants and owners of their house! The Deetz family comprises of the artistically manic Delia (Catherine O'Hara), her uptight hubby Charles (Jeffrey Jones), and their ever morbidly morose daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder).Continue Reading
Ed Wood
Over the decades, Tim Burton has made himself into a brand name (mostly off the success of his earlier films). While he is a master of images and ideas inspired by comic books, B-movies and campy pop culture, the story and payoff rarely lived up to the potential. After an impressive run of films about outsiders like Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands (and the box office bonanza of Batman and Batman Returns), Burton peaked with what is still his best movie, a biography of the beloved, transvestite director of horrible films, Edward D. Wood, Jr., titled appropriately enough Ed Wood. The flick follows Wood in his "Golden Period" of the 1950s and his collaboration and friendship with has-been horror icon Bela Lugosi on three quickie cheapies, Glen or Glenda, Bride of the Monster and his Citizen Kane, Plan 9 from Outer Space. All three films are on the Mount Rushmore of so-bad-they-are-good movie classics. Wood's best qualities may have been his enthusiasm and an ability to build a stable of oddball friends who took part in his projects. Burton has managed to craft both a moving tribute to a talentless dreamer and a perfect scene-for-scene recreation of those hilarious films.
The film is shot in gorgeous black and white by cinematographer Stefan Czapsky (Last Exit to Brooklyn), and instead of the usual Danny Elfman score this one is provided by Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings), who brings a fun mix of sci-fi and conga room. Based on the book Nightmare of Ecstasy by Rudolph Grey, the script was written by the screenwriting duo of Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (who were hot in the quirky bio business, also penning The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon, as well as the Problem Child movies and TV series). Ed Wood marks the second of at least seven films Burton has made with Johnny Depp. And the casting of Depp at the time was really ingenious; who knew the pretty-boy had such creative chops? Depp wonderfully infuses Wood with an ah-shucks charm; everything seems to give Wood zeal. Always the optimist, Wood believes in everything, whether it's his inept actors, sets, shots or his girlfriend's sweaters--or the belief in the stardom of Lugosi who, at this point, was a heroin addict with failing health and is played beautifully by Martin Landau. When Wood sees Criswell (Jeffrey Jones), a TV psychic, make ridiculous predictions, he believes him. He spots Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson (George "The Animal" Steele) in the ring, and instantly sees a great actor. And these random people that Wood meets along the way and in whom he believes join him in his own dream of making movies, and in turn believe in him. It's a motley group that includes Bunny Breckinridge (Bill Murray), a homosexual in search of a sex change operation who is most memorable as The Ruler in Plan 9 from Outer Space, and eventually the horror show hostess Vampira (Lisa Marie), plus assorted goofy crew members. They forge an "Island of Misfit Toys" style family; think Wes Anderson without all the preciousness.Continue Reading

Netflix launches snazzy new in-browser video player
Netflix Wednesday rolled out a much-needed update to its in-browser video player. It features a revamped control bar, the ability to browse other episodes during playback, and informative text overlays that pop up when you pause the video for a few seconds.
The new player has some issues with Google Chrome on Mac OS Xif you try to start the player in Chrome running on OS X, you get a warning pop-up that says the browser is not yet supported. That said, it may still work on your particular machineif you click through the warning, you may still be able to get Netflix to run with no issues.
A Netflix representative explained to GigaOM that, "Chrome on Mac support is a limitation of Microsoft Silverlight, not Netflix. It works on some Macs but not on others, so we allow it and give users a warning."
The first thing you'll notice when you open up the new Web player is that the picture now hits the edges of the browser windowyou're no longer looking at a little box within your browser. This is because Netflix has moved the control bar onto the picture; it appears as an overlay when you move your mouse over the video.
The new control bar has a couple of new buttons, including a button that lets you change the language (if applicable) of the video and turn subtitles on or off.
If you're watching a TV show or a series, you can now preview other episodes from within the video. The preview gives you an image from the episode, as well as a brief synopsis. You can jump directly to that episode by clicking anywhere within the preview box.
The last major visual change is the lightbox-like text overlay that appears when you pause the video. After the video has been paused for a couple of seconds, the image dims and an informative text overlay pops up with the title of the movie/show you're watching, the rating (if applicable), the season and episode (if applicable), and a brief synopsis. This overlay disappears when you move your mouse over the video.
Netflix's browser app redesign comes after the company updated a few other platforms, including its tablet app and its Xbox 360 app.

With the mobile applications market going through the roof, Gartner predicts that consumers will spend $6.2 billion in mobile application stores in this year alone. While this is clearly good news for the likes of Apple and Google, it should also be good news mobile application developers if, and it's a big if, the right IT infrastructure in place.
This is the argument put forward by hosting and virtualization services company Hostway in response to Gartner's recent predictions. Hostway director Neil Barton argues that the challenge for developers hoping to make it big in the mobile space is to learn from the mistakes of the traditional web world and ensure that services and applications have the right mix of technology to support them.
"The key issues developers need to address are looking at their target deployment market and getting some kind of measure of whether there is typically enough bandwidth available to support an application or service once it goes live. If the initial demand exceeds expectations, mobile services can start creaking or even be rendered unavailable which immediately creates a negative impression," said Barton.
Hostway suggests that the limitations of hosting applications in the cloud vs. dedicated servers also prompts questions that the developer must consider; using servers from an external provider can support the application, providing application developers with faster data access and flexibility without the IT overheads of hosting and managing the servers themselves.
Extending Hostway's comments in a piece for IT Professional entitled The Enterprise Mobile Applications Development Framework Bhuvan Unhelkar and San Murugesan also point out that, "Enterprises face several challenges in deploying mobile applications, emanating from features such as location independence, contextualization and personalization. The six-layer enterprise Mobile Applications Development Framework offers a systematic and comprehensive solution to mobile application development and maintenance.
And the list goes on… mobile developers do need to be fully cognizant of infrastructural provisioning as Hostway points out. But there are other considerations thrown up by multiple devices, multiple operating systems, multiple touch and gesture based input methods, multiple development processes (perhaps a mix of Agile and one or more other) and methodologies being brought into play and finally, multi-regional language specific and usage specific considerations.
But yes, infrastructure is important, let's hope that mobile software application developers everywhere will start there and work upwards shall we?

It's 2012! Hope you got your fill of champagne and holiday leftovers this weekend, because it's time to return to the real world of everyday eating. Get excited, because here are TEN GREAT THINGS that are rolling out in the New Year...
They're real; we've tasted them, and they'll be hitting shelves this month. People who want their breakfast to taste like dessert will be happy about these. We've gotta come up with a new marshmallow-square recipe that uses these caramel-flavored O's, but until then, eating them from a cereal bowl will do. A 3/4-cup serving has 100 calories, 1.5g fat, 135mg sodium, 22g carbs, 2g fiber, 6g sugars, and 2g protein (PointsPlus® value 3*). Also debuting this year? Multi Grain Cheerios Peanut Butter cereal!
This year when you do your grocery shopping, get futuristic and scan your barcodes before you buy. This new app from the double W allows you to instantly find PointsPlus® values for thousands of products with just a click of your trusty smartphone. The app is available for both Android and iPhone/iPad/iPod touch platforms -- check it out and get scanning. Heads up: This app is free but requires a subscription to Weight Watchers Online or Weight Watchers eTools.
Let your snacks take a new form this year... WRAP 'EM. These yummy, flat little items -- from the makers of our FAVORITE large high-fiber tortillas -- are great for making quickie quesadillas with light cheeses and for spreading with low-fat hummus. They're also nice for fajitas and soft tacos. The five-variety lineup includes Three Seed, Fiesta, Multi-Bran, White Whole Wheat, and Honey Oat -- each wrap has 50 calories, 1.5 - 2g fat, 160 - 180mg sodium, 9 - 10g carbs, 4 - 6g fiber, 0 - 1g sugars, and 2 - 4g protein (PointsPlus® value 1*). Look for these guys on store shelves in the coming months.
They've been teasing us with this for months, and now it's finally here. If you find Starbucks' other coffees too strong, you may want to swing by and try this line of lighter-bodied joe. New varieties include Willow Blend (in regular and decaf) and Veranda Blend (also available in VIA Ready Brew packets). There's even a K-Cup option! Blonde Roast coffees will be appearing in Starbucks locations and grocery stores this month -- keep a lookout!
A new product from Vitalicious? Yup! These delicious little chocolate cakes are made from a brand-new rich 'n super-fudgy recipe. Each cake has (are you sitting down?) only 50 calories, 1g fat, 65mg sodium, 14g carbs, 6g fiber, 6g sugars, and 2g protein (PointsPlus® value 1*). Do you need to take a moment to process this? We understand. Stop, fan yourself, and think about a 2012 spent nibbling 50-calorie snack cakes. We sent out an extra-special Side Dish email last month featuring a preview sale of the new treats (reason #222 why you should subscribe to the free daily emails), and they'll officially become available TOMORROW. This year's already looking pretty sweet...
If you like a little boost along with your sugar-free beverage, this caffeine-enhanced product is for you. We've been fans of the Wild Strawberry for a while (it's SO good), but (until now) the Grape and Peach Mango flavors have only been available at Walmart. Well, the formerly elusive flavors will be sold in most markets starting this month. And a brand-new flavor is on the way... Citrus! Each 1/2-packet serving (makes 8 oz.) has only 5 calories, so grab a box and mix it up. P.S. Word is that Crystal Light's limited-edition Mocktails will be added to the permanent lineup this year. Yay!
If you wished that the New Year would bring fluffy low-calorie pita breads into your life, your dreams have come true. These things come in 8 Grain (which is nice) and Italian Herb (which is AMAZINGLY delicious and disappeared from the HG HQ in record time). Each pocket has 100 calories, 1.5g fat, 200mg sodium, 20 - 21g carbs, 5g fiber, 1 - 2g sugars, and 4 - 5g protein (PointsPlus® value 3*). These pocket breads have been available in select states for a bit, but this year they're going nationwide!
We don't know about you, but we found watching Hungry Girl on Food Network (and Cooking Channel) to be a highlight of 2011. And two brand-new episodes are coming your way this month -- this Sunday's episode is for the movie lovers (covering everything from snacks at the theater to homemade goodies in your living room), and the January 15th episode is all about guilt-free Chinese food (how to order it and easy ways to re-create your favorites). Click here for a preview of "Movie Night!" Then set those DVRs or tune in on Sunday mornings at 10am/9c on Food Network. P.S. The "Movie Night" episode has a special guest!
Crunchy all-natural snack foods made from fruits and veggies make us smile... and this latest smile-inducer came all the way from the UK! These crisps come in several varieties. We've seen the Crunchy Carrot Crisps with Paprika, the Crunchy Red Beet Crisps, and the Crunchy Premium Apple Crisps with Strawberry. WOW. Each of those single-serving packages (0.7 oz.) has 60 - 70 calories, 0g fat, 0mg sodium, 10 - 15g carbs, 3 - 5g fiber, 7 - 14g sugars, and 0g protein (PointsPlus® value 1*). You can currently find the crisps in select Target locations and Subway restaurants, with many more retailers to come this year -- click for store info.
OK, these aren't so much "new" as "new to us," but we just found out they exist, so YIPPEE! We've always had love for Tabatchnick's pouch-bound freezer-aisle soup concoctions. These, however, are individual servings in their own bowls, ready to heat 'n eat. Most of the soups in this line (the exception being the higher-calorie Southwest Bean) have 90 - 270 calories, 0.5 - 5g fat, 530 - 720mg sodium, 16 - 50g carbs, <1 - 20g fiber, 1 - 14g sugars, and 3 - 19g protein (PointsPlus® value 2 - 7*) per bowl. Barley & Mushroom, we've got our hungry eyes on you...
Pass this email to your pals -- click "Send to a Friend" and make sure they start off the year in well-informed fashion.
Happy January 2nd -- day two of National Soup Month! We've got two incredible new recipes coming your way in Thursday's email. But in the meantime, click here!

According to Wikipedia, CSS is a style sheet language. However, it's pretty much the only such type of language in use (at least from a web developer's perspective).
When trying to categorize CSS as a language or technology (e.g. for a résumé), would it be acceptable to simply call it a domain-specific language? If you don't think it can, why not?

Lord Haw-Haw
William Joyce (1906-1946), often referred to as Lord Haw-Haw, was a Nazi propagandist during World War II. Joyce was born in New York, and moved to England as a teenager. He became a member of the British Union of Fascists, holding a German-sympathetic opinion of the growing tension, in the 1930s. Joyce moved to Germany shortly before the beginning of the war, and immediately began recording radio propaganda that was broadcast for British audiences.[1]
Joyce's last broadcast was on April 30, 1945, which is the same day that Adolf Hitler committed suicide. He was captured in May, and was shot during his capture. The shot was not fatal, but he did not have much longer to live.[2]
Joyce was prosecuted for treason by the United Kingdom, despite the fact that he was not a British citizen. The grounds given for British jurisdiction were that Joyce had nevertheless possessed a British passport and had falsely claimed British citizenship. His wife, Margaret, had broadcast alongside her husband, but was not prosecuted because officials "felt that she had suffered enough", according to secret files that were released in 2000.[3] William Joyce was found guilty of these charges, and was hanged in January, 1946.

Volunteering is good for your blood pressure: study
Volunteering to help others doesn't only feel good but it can also boost your heart health by reducing blood pressure, a new US study suggests.
The study involved 1,100 adults aged 51 to 91, who were interviewed about their volunteering habits and had their blood pressure checked at the beginning of the study and again four years later. All of the subjects had normal blood pressure readings at the time of the first interview.
Regardless of the type of volunteering activity the subjects engaged in, participants who said during the first interview that they volunteered for at least 200 hours per year were 40 percent less likely to have high blood pressure four years later than those who did not volunteer.
The study is slated for publication in the journal Psychology and Aging.
"Every day, we are learning more about how negative lifestyle factors like poor diet and lack of exercise increase hypertension risk," lead author Rodlescia Sneed, a Ph.D. candidate in psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, said in a university news release.
"Here, we wanted to determine if a positive lifestyle factor like volunteer work could actually reduce disease risk. And, the results give older adults an example of something that they can actively do to remain healthy and age successfully," Sneed said.
"As people get older, social transitions like retirement, bereavement and the departure of children from the home often leave older adults with fewer natural opportunities for social interaction," Sneed added.
"Participating in volunteer activities may provide older adults with social connections that they might not have otherwise. There is strong evidence that having good social connections promotes healthy aging and reduces risk for a number of negative health outcomes."
A separate US study published earlier this year in the journal JAMA Pediatrics also linked volunteering with improved cardiovascular health in high school students.

Yankees, Rays each win replay challenges
ST. PETERSBURG -- There were two successfully challenged calls during Sunday's finale between the Yankees and Rays at Tropicana Field, and after New York's 5-1 victory in 12 innings, a fourth-inning trap play still had the visitors talking.
The Yankees' challenge came in that fourth inning, when Brett Gardner was awarded an RBI double on a ball that was initially ruled to have been caught by right fielder Wil Myers.
With a runner at third base and two outs, Gardner hit a deep fly ball to right field that was snared by Myers, who leapt at the wall. At Alfonso Soriano's urging, Gardner continued running and touched all of the bases.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi challenged the call, and a video review showed that the ball hit part of the wall below the yellow home run line before it was trapped by Myers and the call was overturned.
"It just sounded funny," Girardi said. "It was a different sound than you usually hear, so that's why I checked."
After a review of two minutes and 17 seconds led by crew chief Joe West, Gardner was returned to second base and Soriano was awarded home plate. Gardner was credited with a double and an RBI, giving the Yankees a 1-0 lead at the time.
The umpiring crew determined that play stopped when first-base umpire Rob Drake signaled "out" on what he believed to be the Myers catch. Girardi said that the determination to place Gardner at second base was made in New York by the replay umpire.
"It has nothing to do with the umpires on the field," Girardi said. "I have no recourse. I can't argue with people in New York. It's a judgment on them, where he would have ended up. They must have thought he would have ended up at second. It could have been the alternative [of a flyout]."
Gardner said that he was thankful for having replay in place, because without it, he would have still been out on a ball that was not caught. Still, Gardner believes that he should have been credited with an inside-the-park home run.
"You're taught to keep going, and the right fielder knew he didn't catch the ball," Gardner said. "So basically you're penalizing me for keeping going, and you're rewarding him for acting like he caught it when he knew he didn't catch it. That's what I was confused about. I don't think that anything like this has happened before, so they really couldn't give me an answer."
Before the next half-inning, Gardner said that he asked West for an explanation about being sent back to second base.
"He said that they looked at the overhead angle to see whether they should place me at second or third," Gardner said. "I didn't argue with him. My argument wasn't second or third, my argument was that it should've been second or home. I thought it was kind of a weird play, but I guess [we'll] get used to it."
In the top of the 11th, Yankees pinch-runner Ichiro Suzuki -- in for Derek Jeter, who had singled -- was called safe on a steal of second base. Rays manager Joe Maddon challenged the call, and the replay determined that second baseman Logan Forsythe tagged Ichiro before his foot touched the bag, overturning the call. That review took two minutes and four seconds.
"It was kind of awkward from the dugout, because any time a middle infielder catches a ball that bounces and brings it back down, a lot of times you think that the runner gets underneath it," Maddon said. "But part of my reasoning was ... [Heath] Bell was so quick to the plate that he had a legitimate chance to throw him out right there."
