Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP Files a Class Action on Behalf of Consumers Who Purchased or Leased Certain Model Year 2013-2014 Nissan and Infiniti Vehicles

| Source: Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP

NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, on behalf of consumers who purchased or leased certain model year 2013-2014 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. The complaint arises out of a dangerous defect in the affected vehicles' occupant classification system ("OCS") which causes the front passenger airbag in these vehicles to deactivate despite the fact that a passenger is sitting in the seat. This puts the front seat passenger at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash. The complaint asserts claims for, among other things, breach of warranty, as well as violations of the New York consumer protection statutes and the Magnusson Moss Act.

The litigation is captioned Zaccagnino v. Nissan North America, Inc., 1:14 cv 3690. A copy of the initial complaint filed in this action is available from the Court or by clicking here.

If you now own or lease one of the following Nissan or Infiniti models and you wish to discuss this action or have any questions, please contact Greg Stone at Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP by telephone at (800) 575‐0735, or via e‐mail at gstone@whafh.com.

Vote on ABS Cancelled until Law Society Receives More Feedback from Lawyers

Lawyers throughout Ontario have good reason to want to modernize the legal profession to better serve clients, but there is debate over how this should be done.

What is clear is that a growing number of lawyers agree that alternative business structures (ABS) are not the answer. ABS would allow for non-lawyers to purchase majority stakes in law firms, and Charles Gluckstein, who co-chairs the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association's ABS committee, has spoken on numerous occasions in opposition to the adoption of ABS in Ontario.

Gluckstein recently told the County of Carleton Law Association (CCLA) that, if ABS were adopted, there would be a significant risk that smaller law firms would be consolidated into much larger corporations, and the focus would switch from clients to profits.

As we've discussed in previous posts, there is a lack of valid evidence to suggest that ABS would benefit clients. Rather, there is a risk that clients' options could be significantly reduced under an ABS model.

Referring to law firms that are already publicly traded in other countries, Charles Gluckstein had this to say: "Really their focus is return on equity, and if you go into some of their statements [of] these publicly traded law firms it's all about...what their returns are, and how they're going to do growth in the future, because that's who they're responsible to -- their shareholders."

The Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) has cancelled a vote on ABS until more lawyers are consulted about the proposed reforms. Since the cancellation, the law society does not expect a decision on ABS until 2016.

Readers of the Gluckstein Lawyers blog may want to check back for updates.

Suman and Bunty WeddingProducer Bunty Walia and starlet Suman Ranganathan’s marriage, which took place on August 25 last year, lasted barely eight months before things went horribly wrong.

On May 14, when HITLIST broke the news of their separation, Bunty chose not to reveal the reasons for the split.

But on Tuesday, the producer let his guard down in an heart-to-heart talk with our reporter Vickey Lalwani at his Pali Hill residence.

Says Bunty, “I’m still not sure I want to talk about this, but I guess it’s time I cleared the air and put all rumours to rest.”

Bunty WaliaSo what went wrong between Suman and you?

I guess it’s my fault. I gave her too much too soon — freedom, liberty, love, affection, sincerity and dedication, which probably went to her head. She misused it.

Misused it? You mean she married you with an agenda?

It seems that way now. After betraying me and tarnishing my family’s image, she had the cheek to send me a notice demanding Rs 2 lakh per month as alimony, a flat in Pali Hill and a car!

It is rumoured that she even decamped with your family’s jewels and some money?

It seems that she forgot to return them.

Didn’t your friends in the industry warn you about Suman?

Everybody has a past, but I was ready to take that chance because Suman came across as a wonderful and homely person. Today, I’ve realised that it was a ploy.

Your problems with her started because of her proximity to one of her cousins, right?

We had our share of problems, but yes, I was very disturbed about her ‘fondness’ for a distant cousin who had come from abroad for his father’s funeral. She had met him for the very first time then.

She started visiting his house regularly and would stay till very odd hours. She often took him out for coffee, lunches and dinners, which I found ridiculous, and brought to her and her family’s notice.

Then?Her obsession for this cousin seemed rather strange. After I objected to her proximity to him, she started meeting him on the sly and continued
to SMS him and chat with him on the internet with a webcam. This continued even after he left India. I have proof of this.

Suman RanganathanYou called for an itemised bill of her cell number?

Yes. Her cell phone was always busy and her excuse was that she was speaking to her parents, which couldn’t have been further from the truth. A scrutiny of her bill for only the period between February 6 and March 6 revealed the greatest shock a married man can get.

Suman had spoken for 34 hours to a particular number in that 30-day period, which clearly suggests her intentions and intensity regardingthe person to whom that number belonged.

Whose number was it? Did it belong to that cousin?No. The story with her cousin began in March this year. This bill was for the month of February. The number belonged to a male trainer at the gym she had been attending with great vigour everyday, even going on Sundays.

Did you meet that trainer?Yes.

What happened on April 24?After I confronted her with such overwhelming evidence, Suman packed her bags and left. She was neither apologetic nor was there any remorse, which confirmed that she is an encyclopedia of contradictions and lies.

How have your parents reacted to this?My parents are shattered by Suman’s behaviour as it has caused everybody so much hurt, pain, humiliation and embarrassment. Like me, they loved her very much.

What happens now?My lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, has replied to the notice she had the gall to send me, and from there on the law will take its course.

What happens to Suman?

SumanI don’t know, but I have been betrayed and shamed. However, I still wish her the best. She is not a bad person, but she definitely needs to get her head examined. I would like to give her a piece of advice through your paper:

The institution of marriage is sacrosanct. Don’t get married if you can’t abide by it, because apart from destroying the person you are married to, you are also destroying his family.

Will you fall in love and get married again?Marriage, I don’t know. Love, yes. It is a beautiful emotion, but I’ll be doubly careful the next time.

Augusta National Green Jacket Found in Houston Shop, Sold Friday

Donated Augusta Green Jacket Sold in Houston
An Augusta green jacket found in the donations department at The Guild Shop in Houston has been sold. The anonymous buyer hails from Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

One Houston nonprofit store received quite the surprise in late December. While sifting through a box of donated clothes, The Guild Shop came across one of golf's most prized collector’s items: an Augusta National green jacket.

Sometime in late December, a volunteer in the donations department at The Guild Shop came across the member's jacket, which is apparently from the 1960s. Friday morning, just a few weeks later, the jacket was sold to a buyer in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

“A car dealership saw it online this morning, called and made an offer on it,” said Gaye Jackson, executive director of the store. “So we sold it this morning.”

“Isn’t that fabulous for us? It’s wonderful; we are really, really thrilled.”

Per the policy of the store, Jackson is unable to reveal information about the buyer or donor, or how much the jacket was sold for, but in this case, they still needed to authenticate it before becoming a valid seller.

In addition to knowing the anonymous donor, The Guild Shop was able to authenticate the green jacket through discussions with Hamilton Tailoring Company, the brand which has been making the jackets exclusively since 1967, according to

“The Green Jacket is an iconic sports thing,” said Jackson. “There are certain things that make a green jacket a green jacket. This had all of those.”

As of Thursday, Jackson was unsure how they would proceed with the jacket. The power of the Internet shone strongly as they now have what Jackson described as a “substantial amount…which will go a long way with helping our mission."

That mission, as laid out on their website, is to serve the elderly in Houston. Sounds like a win-win, though the jacket could provide an even bigger win for the buyer.

According to Bob Zafian of GreenJacketAuctions, who has sold more a dozen green jackets, The Guild Shop could have left some money on the table. Zafian has talked with the buyer, and the buyer has indicated he might turn around and sell the jacket in the future.

“The whole story behind this jacket, of it being found at a thrift shop, that plays on people,” Zafian said.

“I think somebody could pay $50,000 for that jacket.”

Hamilton On the Fast Track

04 Honda ClassicPALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Three months ago, Todd Hamilton headed to California for his eighth attempt at PGA Tour qualifying school. Now he's on the fast track to Augusta National.
His fortunes turned just as quickly Sunday in the Honda Classic.
Having squandered a four-shot lead, Hamilton walked to the 17th tee and saw that Davis Love III, one of golf's premier players, was one stroke ahead of him and finished with his round of 69 on a blustery day at Mirasol.
'I knew I had to at least make one birdie to have a chance,' Hamilton said.
No one could have guessed what followed.
In a dramatic finish to a journey that lasted 17 years, Hamilton birdied the final two holes, stuffing an 8-iron into 4 feet on No. 18 for a one-stroke victory.
'Maybe it was my turn to win,' Hamilton said.
He certainly paid his dues.
Hamilton, an All-American at Oklahoma who was once paired with Love (North Carolina) during a college tournament, always believed he had the talent to play on the PGA Tour.
He never realized how long it would take him, or where the road would lead -- first Canada, then the PGA Tour's minor leagues, and then to all parts of the globe. He played the Asian Tour five years and did well enough to make it on the Japanese tour, where he won six times.
Married with three young children, he spent the last 12 years playing in obscurity in the Far East.
'But this is the place,' he said. 'If you want to achieve, and you want to feel like you've accomplished something great, this is the place to do it right here.'
Hamilton, who didn't make a birdie in the final round until the last two holes, closed with a 2-over 72. It was the second time this year the winner failed to break par in the last round. John Daly had a 75 at Torrey Pines and won in a three-man playoff.
'He finished like a true champion and birdied those last two holes when he knew he had to do it,' Love said. 'It's a great, great story. I know he's worked long and hard for it.'
Hamilton, a 38-year-old rookie, finished at 12-under 276 and earned $900,000, about as much as his best season in Japan, and earned an exemption on the PGA Tour through the 2006 season.
The perks don't stop there.
At No. 96 in the world going into the Honda Classic, he should easily move into the top 50 in the world ranking Monday, high enough to qualify for the Masters when the deadline falls in two weeks.
'That would be special,' Hamilton said softly.
Love lost a final-round lead last year to Justin Leonard. This time, Love applied pressure by playing mistake-free down the stretch, taking the lead with a great lag putt from a deep swale off the 17th green. And he looked like a winner when he saved par with a 6-foot putt on the 18th.
Hamilton had not made a birdie throughout the gusty day at Mirasol, and twice had to make tough par saves just to keep his slim hopes alive.
'He gave everyone a chance,' Love said. 'And then he took it away from us.'
Hamilton split the middle of the 18th fairway, and had 162 yards to a front pin. Nervously wiping the grip of his 8-iron, the ball took dead aim at the flag and stopped 4 feet behind the hole.
'I was just trying to get to the front third of the green and give myself a chance,' Hamilton said. 'When I heard the people hollering, I knew it was close.'
The only battle left was his emotions.
'I bit my lip,' Hamilton said. 'I didn't realize my teeth were that sharp.'
Brian Bateman, who had never finished in the top 10 on the PGA Tour, had a share of the lead at 10 under when he finished with his 68. He wound up third and earned $340,000.
Kevin Na, at 20 the youngest player on the PGA Tour, shot a 69 and tied for fourth with Robert Allenby (70), Woody Austin (70) and Fredrik Jacobson (73).
It was the second straight day Hamilton birdied the 18th.
His 15-foot putt on Saturday expanded his lead to four shots, and figured that might come in handy. This was only his 18th start on the PGA Tour, and 20 mph gusts made the lead seem even smaller.
Hamilton struggled early, shot 39 on the front and his lead was gone when he three-putted at No. 13.
'I would like to say I was setting myself up for a great comeback,' he said. 'I couldn't get the ball close to the hole. And if I did, I couldn't make a putt.'
Just when it looked like he would fall apart, Hamilton kept it together with a remarkable short game.
He left himself 50 feet from the hole on No. 14, but rolled in a 7-foot par putt. He missed the green well to the right on the par-3 15th, into a deep collection area some 80 feet from the cup, but knocked it up to 3 feet for another par that kept him in the game.
That set him up for a finish no one saw coming, and a victory that even Hamilton doubted.
'Until I got my tour card, I always doubted something like this would happen,' he said. 'I don't think it's sunk in.'

Auto News For Thursday, July 30, 2015 - Honda Profits Rise To $1.5B Last Quarter

2016 Hyundai Tucson cutaway
Here are the six must-read, must-watch auto news stories, reviews and videos for Friday, July 31, 2015.

Despite drastic recalls, the Honda Motor Company's quarterly profit increased 20% to $1.5 billion thanks in part to exchange rates.

Maybe Fiat Chrysler Automobiles won't have to buy back as many vehicles as first thought. Not only was the automaker tasked with covering a fine of $105 million and told to pay some owners to have their vehicles recalled, early reports also suggested that 193,000 vehicles would have to be bought back. That number is now down to 175,000 vehicles, including the Ram 1500 (2009-2011), Dodge Dakota (2009-2011), 2009 Chrysler Aspen, and 2009 Dodge Durango.

Ford Motor Company is recalling 7165 copies of 2015 Ford Taurus, 2015 Ford Flex, 2015 Lincoln MKS, 2015 Lincoln MKT, and 2015-2016 Ford Explorer because they, "have a parking brake that may not fully engage when applied."

These were the 15 best-selling vehicles in Canada in the first-half of 2015, with special notes made for honourable mentions like the Volkswagen Golf (Canada's fastest-growing nameplate) and the top-selling luxury vehicle (Mercedes-Benz C-Class).

Is a front-wheel-drive, basic trim level Hyundai Tucson the typical press fleet choice? Not at all, but a 2016 2.0L SE front-driver is exactly what Car & Driver was given to test. "In a world where the base-level Honda CR-V wears its poverty on its sleeves with pressed-steel wheels, lots of black-plastic trim, and little delete panels replacing the features the bargain customer skipped, the humblest Tucson looks and feels different."

When in Malta, do as the humans do. Cliff diving dogs will alter the way you look at your morning.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.

Anthony Grifoni

For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.

Steph Mundell

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.

Andrew Mitsi

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

Simon Harriott

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Directors Report of Duncans Industries Ltd.

Sep 30, 2014

Dear Members,

The Board of Directors of the Company submits the Twentieth Annual Audited Accounts for the year ended 30th September, 2014 :

Current Year Previous Period (18th Months)

Profit / (Loss) before, interest, depreciation, exceptional items and tax (969) 405

Finance Cost (1802) (2575)

Depreciation (298) (448)

Profit / (Loss) before tax (3069) (2618)

Tax expenses - -

Profit / (Loss) for the year (3069) (2618)

The Company is a sick industrial company within the provisions of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (SICA) and the Rehabilitation Scheme sanctioned by the Hon''ble BIFR, is under the process of implementation. As per the provisions of the Scheme, no dividend on Preference and Equity Share capital is permissible.

The Rehabilitation Scheme of the Company as sanctioned by the Hon''ble BIFR vide its order dated 16th January, 2012 is under implementation. As reported in the earlier accounts, pursuant to the said Scheme, the Fertilizer Undertaking had been de-merged and transferred to Kanpur Fertilizers & Cement Ltd (KFCL) with effect from 1st October, 2010, leaving the tea operations with the Company.

In view of a severe drought in North Bengal during the beginning of the season this year, the Company was lagging behind its estimated production. The first significant rainfall was received as late as in the first week of May, 2014 and that too it was not widespread. Plucking was suspended at almost all the Company''s tea gardens during the month of April, 2014 due to non-availability of leaf.

The revenue from operations for the year ended 30th September, 2014 was Rs.184.58 crones as against Rs.262.10 crones in the previous eighteen months period. Own crop during the year was 129.80 lac kgs of tea as against production of 220.81 lac Kgs. of tea in the eighteen months of the previous period. 127.81 lac kgs of tea was sold at an average price of about Rs.144.42 per kg in the current year as compared to sales of 181.29 lac kgs in the previous eighteen months period at an average price of Rs.144.71 per kg. Continuing adverse weather conditions in successive years in the Dooars and Terai areas caused the crop of the Company to be behind the targets. The increase in selling price did not improve the profitability due to lower production of tea, hike in the wage cost of labour pursuant to Memorandum of Settlement (MOS) arrived at amongst the Tea Association, Tea Plantation Workers Unions and the West Bengal Government on 4 th November, 2011 and adverse impact of the steep increase in the cost of coal, fuel oil, electricity, fertilizers, agro chemicals, etc. The MOS with the workers, which was executed for three years period, is now due for a fresh agreement effective from 1st April, 2014 onwards.

Overall prospect of the tea business appears to be encouraging with a strong demand for CTC teas in which the Company is engaged predominantly.

The management has taken steps to revamp the operations of the tea business. Working capital is being augmented and the current year capital expenditure will improve long term prospects in generating future profitability. The Company is in the process of replacing high cost coal with alternative fuels i.e. waste wood / biomass, etc. Modernization of spraying equipments are under process which will reduce pest control cost. Application of organic fertilizers is under consideration. Priority is also given for uprooting and replanting of age old tea bushes in the tea estates of the Company to improve long term prospects. Extensive replanting done over the last three years will have a large bearing on crop in the immediate future.

With the efforts already undertaken, barring unforeseen circumstances, it is expected that performance of the tea business of the Company will improve significantly.

Pursuant to the Scheme sanctioned by the Hon''ble BIFR, the Company has refunded fixed deposits in settlement of the dues of fixed deposits holders and as on 30th September, 2014, refund warrants for 5428 fixed deposit holders aggregating to Rs.608.98 lacs remain un-encashed and requisite amounts are lying with the Bank for this purpose.

In terms of the provisions of the Companies Act and the Company''s Articles of Association, Mr. Shrivardhan Goenka shall retire by rotation and being eligible, offers himself for re-appointment. The Board has appointed Mr. Rajesh Sharma as Managing Director of the Company for a period of three years with effect from 27th September, 2014. Mr. M.H. Chinoy who was appointed as Wholetime Director of the Company with effect from 1st January, 2014, will cease to be a Wholetime Director at the close of business hours on 31st December, 2014 being unable to continue as such. However, considering his long association with the Company, the Board will retain his service as Non-Executive Director of the Company effective from 1st January, 2015. The Board recommends the appointment / re-appointment of the aforesaid Directors at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

Pursuant to Section 149 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the Board of Directors is seeking appointment of Mr. T. S. Broca, Mr. R. K. Bhargava, Mr. D. Sengupta and Dr. A. L. Ananthanarayanan as Independent Directors for a term of five consecutive years i.e. upto the conclusion of the Twenty Fifth (25th) Annual General Meeting to be held in the calendar year 2019.

Delaware Chemical Engineering Company,

Wilmington, Del., a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Application September 9, 1932,

Serial No. 632,467

4 Claims.

This invention relates to processes of'treating coal; and it comprises a method of removing excess water or moisture from coal sprayed with water on the breakers, wherein coal carrying 5 water is sprayed with an aqueous oil emulsion in suflicient amount to film the coal particles with adhering oil and cause clinging water to drain away; said method being also applicableto drying wet coal in other relations and to drying wet water being retained against drainage. Halfinch coal coming'from the breakers may retain as much as 12 per cent water. It is commercially objectionable in coal to be shipped, handled and used to have above 3.5 per cent by weight of moisture present.- Removing the wetting water from coal in the colliery is an important technical problem. "Some, but not all, of the excess water can be removed by drainage on screens or by passage over shakers before shipping and storing, These methods, however, do not produce a commercial air dry coal with not more than, say, 3.5 per cent water. For this reason the more expensive procedure of special air drying treatments is often resorted to after the material has 5 drained as far as'possibleon the screens.

Much water is not permissible in coal to be shipped for obvious reasons, among them that of the excess weight. There is also the further obiection that in shipping coal in cold weather the 40 contents of a car may freeze to a solid mass in the gondola. In dry weather the excess water evaporatesin shipment at least to a large extent, but the evaporation is apt to be from the exposed top'of the load. Coaldrying out in shipment or in the bins and then becoming rewetted by rain also developsdifilculties since there is a tendency of the coal to shatter and breakdown with excessive formation of flnes.

To avoid this formation of-flnes and also .to avoid dust air dry coal is often treated with materials of a more or less hygroscopic nature, molasses, waste sulflte liquor, calcium chlorid solution, etc. Unfortunately, these substances cannot be advantageously added to wet coal, as they have been found to have a deleterious, disintegrating effect on coal; perhaps by breaking down gels of a more or less hydrated nature forming a constituent part of the coal.

In the present invention I have obviated the stated disadvantages and'gained certain new advantages. In this invention I utilize the fact that in an emulsion of oil in water, coal is preferentially wetted by the oil; the coal develops an adsorbed film of oil which puts it out of contact with water. The oil in suspension in the water leaves 95 the water to adhere to the coal. 1 therefore spray coal with a dilute oil emulsion; one containing a small amount of oil dispersed in a relatively large amount of water. In so spraying wet coal on the breakers the excess water of the emulsion drains away and so does the clinging water on the coal. There is the unexpected result, when wet coal is sprayed on the final breaker with an oil emulsion,'instead of water, that the coal at once drains dry. In the present invention I contemplate accomplishing this result by passing coal through the regular breaker system and under the usual water sprays to achieve the usual results of wetting down the coal and then spraying the wet coal with an oil emulsion. 30

Wet coal sprayed with oilemulsion and then drained is practically air dry coal and it'may be shipped, stored and sold as such. There is the further advantage that the presence of the oil on the surface of the coal prevents further wetting by rain. The drained coal stays drained. The amount of oil used in the present invention is not enough to affect the fuel value of the coalsubstantially; it is-not my object to qualify the combustible value of the coal by adding oil.

The oil spraying is advantageously applied to the coal at the colliery immediately after final washing. But, if circumstances render it desirable the spraying may be applied during sizing or crushingor during or before any of the inter-. mediate steps since it interferes with no other operation than that of wetting down the coal.

I find in spraying Wet coal with oil emulsions on screens that to spray immediately after, or during passage over, the usual dewatering'screens gives the quickest and most effective results. Under these circumstances the coal seems to eject water in the form of droplets adhering slightly to the oil surface. If there is too much adhesion and ready and quick drainage does not occur these drops of water may be removed by passing the coal over a screen of suitable mesh provided.

on its underside with a plurality of small rollers. In some way, this causes thewater to drop off.

Adhering droplets may also be removed by shak-'- m Oils of the grades known as kerosene and solar oil,

may be used. Any suitable emulsifying or dispersing agent such as, soap, may be used.

While I have hereinbefore described this-invention more particularly in its use in facilitating the drainage of wet coal, it may also be-applied to draining any wet metallic ores. Most of these metallic ores, like coal, show apreferentialwetting with oil. For example, wet sulfid ores may be so dried.

What I claim is:

1. In treating lump coal the method comprising washing the coal, whereby the coal becomes wet with water, thereafter spraying said wet coal with an emulsion of oil in water and draining.

2. The process of treating minerals preferentially wet by oil comprising washing said minerals with water, thereafter spraying said wet minerals with an emulsion of oil in water and draining.

3. In removing water from wet lump coal the method which comprises spraying said wet coal with an emulsion of oil in water and thereafter agitating and draining.

4. In the process of treating lumpicoal by washing, the steps which comprise spraying water-wet coal with an emulsion of oil in water and draining, whereby adherent water is removed from said wet coal.

Spring Must Haves

by Lori Sciame | March 29th, 2012 | Accessories, Women's Fashion

Want to stand out in the crowd this spring? Three fashion trends can help you do just that. Flowing feathers worn in the hair, light-weight scarves around the neck, and nail polish color surprises can amp your style quotient. Low in cost, and high in style, these easy fashion accessories can be classified as spring must haves. Read on to learn more about these options!

Fabulous Feathers

Anyone who is anyone has jumped on the feather bandwagon. Feathers in a rainbow colors have been seen on the catwalks of major designers, and stylists across the nation have started to adorn their client’s hair with this gorgeous accessory. Imagine silky, long red hair infused with deliciously long, spaghetti thin feathers, almost as if the woman grew them herself! Or what about short, blonde hair blessed with a crown of wispy black feathers? Any woman can wear this accessory; just make sure to buy the right kind of feather or feather extension – not the clunky huge feathers, but the highly styled type. Various websites offer extensions at reasonable prices…one more reason to give this trend a shot. And don’t let advancing age be a deterrent. Several stars over 40 have embraced feather fashion.

Scintillating Scarves

Much like feathers, summer scarves increase your chances of getting the attention you want. Made in breezy fabrics, such as cotton or silk, in any color from pastel to bold brights, scarves accent any outfit. Check out Scarves.net for reasonably priced versions. They showcase floral designs, solid colors, patterns, and even patriotic versions. This awesome website also offers a plethora of information on everything scarves, from the long history of scarves to 37 different ways to tie them. The newest styles offered this spring are the skinny scarf and the infinity scarf. Buy a couple of one or both styles for help in creating cute outfits.

Naughty Nails

Cared for finger nails never go out of style; however, nail colors and nail treatments change and evolve over time. You’ll be in high style this spring if you paint all of your fingernails a daring color – except for the two ring fingers. These should then be painted a contrasting color, or they should have an embellishment added, such as sparkles or dots. And make sure not to paint your toenails the exact same way as your fingernails. It’s much more visually daring to have a different (but complimentary color) on your feet. Other popular nail accents include easy nail wraps that you can press on. Examples include flowers, butterflies, and even zebra stripes. One well-known company, Sally Hansen, provides great wraps at cheap prices.

These three spring must haves can spice up all your outfits, from those you wear to the beach or for a night on the town. Since each trend costs little, you can get a lot of style with a little bit of money. No matter your age, feathers, scarves, and nail colors can be incorporated into your wardrobe to enhance your look.

LOS ANGELES -- Halle Berry is the cat's meow these days. Or, at least, she is with "Catwoman."

"I have watched my cat and I listen to how he purrs and plays and walks and when he gets angry," Berry says. "And there's a sound that he makes that I've tried to use, too."

Her cat is one of the 60 homeless cats used in a scene in her last film, "Gothika," with Robert Downey Jr. In that film, she played a successful psychiatrist who is accused of brutally killing her husband. Berry's mother worked as a psychiatric nurse, and she helped her with the role.

"My mom was a psych nurse at a veteran's hospital for 35 years and I've grown up with that in my life -- therapy and psychology and always knowing the value and the benefit of it," Berry says. "My mom was really helpful in telling me what things a person in that situation would feel, and how the (heck) they got there."

In lots of ways, Berry says she looks at where she is now and wonders how the heck she got here. The highest-paid black actress in Hollywood history, she also has an Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy, Image and SAG Award, so she's always aware of expectations to better herself.

"People thought it was strange I was going off to be a Bond girl right after winning an Oscar," she says about playing Jinx in "Die Another Day" after her award-winning role as an abusive mom in "Monster's Ball." "Then, they thought it was strange that I did 'Gothika,' or played Storm again in 'X2,' I don't care."

She's keeping busy, saying, "my umbrella is full," with her roles in upcoming movies, "The Guide," "The Set-Up," "Nappily Ever After" and the animated sci-fi film "Robots." She ended her second marriage last October, and tries to maintain her privacy, saying, "There are some things that I still haven't revealed that are still secret. I've got strong family support and faith."

And, if reporters get too personal, she says kiddingly with a wave of her hand, "I slap them."

Although she looks stunning as she walks into the room for an interview, she insists she hasn't felt pressure to always be beautiful. "I don't buy into that pressure to be glamorous all the time. It's impossible -- I mean, you get a pimple in the morning, you wake up with bags under your eyes, you see if you can use it in your work, maybe incorporate it into your character."

Earning her peers' respect

There's no room for bags under her eyes in "Catwoman," where she's decked out in a skin-tight leather outfit, spars with Sharon Stone and plays around with Benjamin Bratt.

"Halle is one of the most dedicated, focused actors that I've ever worked with. She's arguably one of the biggest superstars in the world, " Bratt says, "but I have to give her full credit because even in the most ridiculous or seemingly insignificant off-camera moment, she would be there."

French director Pitof says, "I know people thought there would be catfights among the cast, but they were the utmost professionals, and Halle is a superstar no matter what superhero she plays."

And what about another comic book originated role she's known for?

She's not convinced she will reprise her superhero role of Storm in the "X-Men" franchise because, she says, "My desires have been dictated by what the fans have come to me with, and what their complaints have been. After every movie, especially the real die-hard fans, they often say, 'Yeah, you know Storm was OK, but she should do more, she should fly, she should fight, she should be more of what she is in the comic book series.' "

She laughs about the comic-book turn of her career. "I wasn't an avid comic book reader, but I did read them. Batman was probably the biggest one -- it was something I related to, so it's really great that now I get to be Catwoman."

54th Annual GRAMMY Awards
Feb. 12, 2012
Staples Center, Los Angeles

8:30 PT/11:30 ET:
After that show-closer, some of you will be the modern version of speechless — unable to type. But we hope not for long. What category held the most surprises for you? Which performance will you be talking about tomorrow? How about Adele making GRAMMY history in tying Beyoncé for most awards won in one night by a female artist?

Please keep your comments coming! And thanks again for helping celebrate the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Good night!

8:28 PT/11:28 ET:
What a treat. "The End," literally. The Boss, Joe Walsh, Dave Grohl join the stage to trade licks with Sir Paul and Co. The talent caliber onstage is off the charts. The 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards have been a night to remember. And not just for the winners.

8:24 PT/11:24 ET:
Sir Paul is back to take Music's Biggest Night out in style. As "Golden Slumbers" leads into "Carry That Weight," he's carrying his worldwide audience away on waves of nostalgia. And awe, most likely. Is there a classic rock fan out there who's not transfixed? Any kind of music fan?

8:22 PT/11:22 ET:
Adele credits her "rubbish relationship" with paving the road to her night full of GRAMMYs it's what 21 is about. A little rubbish can go a long, long way.

8:21 PT/11:21 ET:
And another huge moment in a night full of them: Album of the Year goes to an astonished-looking Adele for 21. Surprised?

8:19 PT/11:19 ET:
More Sir Paul is on the way, too. Lots left!

8:16 PT/11:16 ET:
And after that big win the night may not be over for big winner Adele. Still to come is the GRAMMY for Album Of The Year. Her breathtaking 21 is among the nominees.

8:14 PT/11:14 ET:
Time for the unveiling of a big one: Record of the Year. The prize goes to Adele, for "Rolling in the Deep."

8:09 PT/11:09 ET:
Nicki is her own kind of worship-worthy deity — what a spectacle. Monks are dancing. So are altar boys. Nicki is levitating.

8:06 PT/11:06 ET:
She may be brash, but brashness is no barricade to putting on a great show. Here comes Nicki Minaj, blond hair and in pearls. And in a confession booth? Sitting opposite a priest? This performance of "Roman's Revenge" is the perfect primer on the Best New Artist nominee: she's lightning-fast and a little puzzling, but so bursting with attitude you're apt to forget how confused you are and just go with her flow.

8:03 PT/11:03 ET:
And that's not the only remaining award we want you to weigh in on. Album Of The Year is still up for grabs too. Keep up with all of the winners here.

8:01 PT/11:01 ET:
Will "Rolling In The Deep" take Record Of They Year? What about "Grenade," "Holocene," "The Cave," and "Firework"? We'll find out in a matter of minutes. Tell us who you're rooting for.

7:57 PT/10:57 ET:
Deadmau5 and whole portions of the audience, it seems, are in lit-up Mickey Mouse helmets for "Raise Your Weapon." The effect is at once creepy and cute. Dave Grohl could do nothing but smile and move with the music from sidestage.

7:56 PT/10:56 ET:
But it wouldn't be a dance segment without the Deadmau5 remix of "Rope," so here we go …

7:55 PT/10:55 ET:
The place is not only rolling, it's rocking, which is why it makes a lot of sense to bring back Foo Fighters, who, behind all those laser lights, are burning up their hit "Rope."

7:53 PT/10:53 ET:
It's a light-saber salute to the infectiousness of dance music.

7:52 PT/10:52 ET:
The fleet-footed, GRAMMY-winning Chris Brown is back, and check out who's keeping him company: David Guetta and Lil Wayne. They're into Guetta's "I Can Only Imagine," and the place is rolling!

7:51 PT/10:51 ET:
"Soul Train" pioneer Don Cornelius is gone too. But definitely not forgotten, as LL Cool J and ?uestlove remind us.

7:49 PT/10:49 ET:
And don't forget Nicki Minaj! Her performance is on the way as well.

7:48 PT/10:48 ET:
That last dose of raw emotion is soon to be tempered by a dance-music extravaganza. David Guetta, Foo Fighters and company are up in a minute.

7:45 PT/10:45 ET:
Jennifer Hudson: brilliant singer, and purveyor of chills.

7:44 PT/10:44 ET:
If anybody can convey in song the enormity of Whitney Houston's talent, and the void that's been left by her untimely death, it's Jennifer Hudson. Hudson, as many will remember, has already shown how courageous she can be in the face of personal tragedy. With this almost unbearably sad rendition of "I Will Always Love You," she solidifies her hard-earned reputation for strength and poise. And she's absolutely correct: we will always love Whitney.

7:42 PT/10:42 ET:
Have your Kleenex ready? Next up is Jennifer Hudson's tribute to Whitney Houston.

7:39 PT/10:39 ET:
And now a tribute to the people in the music community we lost in 2011. Steve Jobs, Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Doyle Bramhall Sr., Jerry Leiber, Clarence Clemons, among others. Rest in peace.

7:37 PT/10:37 ET:
Neil Portnow echoed Bruce Springsteen in his speech, speaking about MusiCares: We — as a music community — take care of our own.

7:36 PT/10:36 ET:
While this is Music's Biggest Night, The Academy supports music all year long. Highlighting the important work of the GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares is Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow.

7:35 PT/10:35 ET:
Bon Iver is a sincere guy. And thoughtful too. He thanked all the "non-nominees."

7:34 PT/10:34 ET:
And the GRAMMY for Best New Artist goes to Bon Iver, known by some as Justin Vernon.

7:32 PT/10:32 ET:
"It Had to Be You" was featured in the movies Casablanca and Annie Hall. It was great in both, but I'll take this version. Well-paced and smooth.

7:29 PT/10:29 ET:
What a show so far. Your thoughts? Don't forget that what's sure to be a moving tribute to Whitney Houston is still to come.

7:27 PT/10:27 ET:
But first, the incomparable Tony Bennett — dapper, magnetic, multitalented! — will be the next icon to take the stage. Bennett has won two GRAMMYs this evening, making 16 for his illustrious career. He'll be joining past Best New Artist winner Carrie Underwood for our next performance.

7:26 PT/10:26 ET:
Up next: the coveted Best New Artist award. Esperanza Spalding took the prize last year. The Band Perry, Bon Iver, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, and Skrillex are in the running this year. Who's your pick?

7:24 PT/10:24 ET:
It's 2012 and Glen Campbell knows it: He gave a shout-out to the rhinestone cowgirls, too.

7:22 PT/10:22 ET:
Obviously, so is the Rhinestone Cowboy himself: still ready to ride in a star-spangled rodeo after all these years. And still sturdy of voice. Just like in the song, hustle is the name of his game. What's your favorite Glen Campbell song?

7:21 PT/10:21 ET:
And he's got Paul McCartney dancing along ...

7:20 PT/10:20 ET:
Just as gentle and as fittingly (and winningly) sentimental is Blake Shelton's rendition of "Southern Nights," Campbell's country-crossover classic. Some country crooners aren't born showmen. But Shelton, with his classic good looks and in his elegant suit, is.

7:16 PT/10:16 ET:
And how about those harmonies?

7:15 PT/10:15 ET:
We're off into the Glen Campbell tribute. The Band Perry's "Gentle On My Mind" is a sweet reminder of why Campbell deserves the Academy Lifetime Achievement Award. This sentimental rendition leads pleasantly to a blanket-warm late-'60s place.

7:12 PT/10:12 ET:
Stay with me — a tribute to the Rhinestone Cowboy is coming up!

7:10 PT/10:10 ET:
Vocal cord polyps are no match for Adele. What a remarkable performance. And a standing ovation that drew props from Bruno Mars, Miranda Lambert and Rihanna. What did you think?

7:08 PT/10:08 ET:
As the song's momentum picks up, reaching its own fever pitch, so does Adele. This is a controlled but richly felt performance.

7:05 PT/10:05 ET:
Here's Adele, launching confidently into "Rolling In The Deep." The superstar could be forgiven for taking it slow. But she's not withholding — in fact, she's characteristically belting, digging deep, and her whiskeyed, old-soul voice is in fine form. The best-selling artist of 2011 is back and singing the only way she knows how: fearlessly.

7:00 PT/10:00 ET:
Next up is one of tonight's biggest moments. Adele will sing "Song Of The Year "Rolling In The Deep," her first performance since undergoing vocal-cord surgery last November.

6:56 PT/9:56 ET:
Best Country Album goes to Lady Antebellum for Own The Night. The trio won this same award in 2010 for the smash Need You Now.

6:54 PT/9:54 ET:
Katy is turning in an emotive rendition of her brand-new song "Part Of Me," while rocking a short-blue bob and shades. It sounds like the words are carrying extra special meaning? Who do you think she's singing about?

6:53 PT/9:53 ET:
Katy Perry is out of this world. Literally. Dodging shooting stars and comets in her crazy headgear and space outfit, she's handily demonstrating why the pop thumper "E.T." was a 2011 radio staple.

6:51 PT/9:51 ET:
Song Of The Year goes to Adele's "Rolling In The Deep." And that marks four awards for Adele, and two for producer and co-writer Paul Epworth. Could Adele sweep all six of her nominations?

6:48 PT/9:48 ET:
Next we find out who wins Song of the Year, a songwriter's award. After that it's Katy Perry. Adele is coming up, too. It will be her first performance since vocal-cord surgery. Anybody nervous for her?

6:45 PT/9:45 ET:
The statuesque Swift, plucking a banjo and wearing a braid, is at the top of a heap of discarded stuff from somebody's barn. She's still managing to give a kicky performance, though. "Mean"  has netted the songstress two awards tonight: Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance.

6:43 PT/9:43 ET:
Taylor Swift is turning in a spirited rendition of "Mean" off "Speak Now." She's pure country-pop superstar here, spilling the contents of her heart in the sure, sweet voice that's won her bazillions of fans worldwide.

6:40 PT/9:40 ET:
The rootsy duo Civil Wars, who have picked up two awards tonight, are peeling into "Barton Hollow," their Southern Gothic-style stunner from the same-named album. This may be tonight's show-stealing performance.

6:38 PT/9:38 ET:
And the winner of the Best R&B Album is Chris Brown for F.A.M.E.

6:37 PT/9:37 ET:
As we remember Whitney Houston and Etta James, we can't forget the poet/singer Gil Scott-Heron. Scott-Heron was honored with a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award this year.

6:36 PT/9:36 ET:
A fine performance from the 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year. And one deserving of that standing ovation. Gorgeous song.

6:32 PT/9:32 ET:
Here he is, an orchestra behind him, singing the dreamy (and well-timed — it's almost Feb. 14, after all) ballad "My Valentine" off his new album, Kisses On The Bototom. His bandmates are also legends: Eagles guitar hero Joe Walsh and jazzy chanteuse Diana Krall. They're elegant together.

6:30 PT/9:30 ET:
It's Stevie Wonder, here to remember Whitney Houston and lead us into Sir Paul's performance with a little harmonica; Stevie Wonder does "Love Me Do."

6:25 PT/9:25 ET:
In the hard-act-to-follow category, a Beach Boys reunion pretty much takes the cake. If anybody is up to the challenge, though, it is Sir Paul McCartney. He's next.

6:22 PT/9:22 ET:
Adam Levine is back and so is Mark Foster. It's a milestone and a feel-good moment; may the Beach Boys reunite every year at teh GRAMMYs.

6:21 PT/9:21 ET:
Here it is, the moment anyone who appreciates a fine melody has been been waiting for: Al Jardin, Bruce Johnson, Mike Love, David Marks and, yes, Brian Wilson, together again. It's their 50th anniversary. "Good Vibrations" are circulating among the Staples Center and out into the world. Incredible.

6:19 PT/9:19 ET:
Foster the People — who are in competition with Maroon 5 tonight for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their infectious "Pumped Up Kicks" — are doing a fine job of with the timeless "Wouldn't It Be Nice." Who knew these lads could go retro?

6:18 PT/9:18 ET:
Helping mark the momentous occasion are Maroon 5, reminding us what a great song "Surfer Girl" is alongside the nine-member Beach Boys band. Adam Levine leaves little to be desired as a singer. In fact, he's great here.

6:16 PT/9:16 ET:
History is about to be made: live on the GRAMMY stage, the Beach Boys are going to reunite.

6:14 PT/9:14 ET:
Dave Grohl: "We made this at home in my garage." Long live their indie cred!

6:12 PT/9:12 ET:
Best Rock Performance goes to the Foo Fighters. The competition was fierce in this category, but the choice is pretty hard to argue with after tonight's electric performance. Or is it?

6:10 PT/9:10 ET:
The Beach Boys reunion performance with Foster The People and Maroon 5 is also coming up soon — one of many poignant moments to come.

6:08 PT/9:08 ET:
Big award coming up … Best Rock Performance. Coldplay, the Decemberists, Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons, and Radiohead are nominated. Who do you think will take the trophy?

6:06 PT/9:06 ET:
The "Paradise" title works two ways. What a great performance. That was well-earned sweat on Chris Martin's brow.

6:05 PT/9:05 ET:
It's as if they're in a glow-in-the-dark graffiti-covered cave. But they still sound incredible.

6:04 PT/9:04 ET:
Cool color-drenched screen effect behind the band.

6:03 PT/9:03 ET:
Make that all of Coldplay: the band, nominated tonight for Best Rock Performance, is all together now for "Paradise." It's too easy to call this a pop-rock paradise, but it sort of is, isn't it?

6:00 PT/9:00 ET:
Coldplay's Chris Martin is feeling the love, too, chiming in solo on the moody and magnificent "Princess Of China." Not for long, though. Rihanna's back, and the two are trading verses.

5:58 PT/8:58 ET:
Hip shaking in hotpants: does it get more Rihanna? Killer choreography here, almost reminiscent of a Janet Jackson number.

5:56 PT/8:56 ET:
Rihanna, who's up for four GRAMMYs tonight, finds love everywhere, no doubt. But tonight the newly blond starlet is finding it onstage among a squad of dancers and a makeshift volcano. Does a more hopeless place exist?

5:53 PT/8:53 ET:
Which performance do you like best so far?

5:51 PT/8:51 ET:
The tent adjacent to Staples Center was pogo-ing. The next performance is Rihanna with Coldplay. Is there a more versatile band? Remember their collaboration with Jay-Z? Rihanna is known to throw the occasional curveball in her performances, but count on Chris Martin and company to keep up.

5:49 PT/8:49 ET:
Jack Black was right: Foo Fighters aren't lacking for indie cred. Or metal cred. Check Grohl's Slayer t-shirt.

5:48 PT/8:48 ET:
Actually, how could you not be a Foo fan? "Walk," the song Dave Grohl and company are currently clobbering onstage, is a fitting demo for why they're up for six awards tonight, including Album of the Year for Wasting Light. Foo obsessives know that the record marked the return of Butch Vig, who produced Nirvana's 1991 classic Nevermind.

5:43 PT/8:43 ET:
Dave Grohl and company have already taken four awards tonight, including Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance and Best Rock Song. Dave and the boys perform next. Stay here!

5:41 PT/8:41 ET:
There's something fitting about Jack Black introducing Foo Fighters. I'm sure somehow that Jack Black is a Foo fan. What about you?

5:40 PT/8:40 ET:
Aldean and Clarkson. With chemistry this pronounced, yes, we want them to stay here a little while.

5:38 PT/8:38 ET:
Best Country Solo Performance nominee Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson, who's nominated with him for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, are squaring off to bring us the song that earned them the joint nod: "Don't You Wanna Stay." It's a feelings-drenched number — wistful, pretty and poured-on in the best way possible.

5:35 PT/8:35 ET:
Taking home the GRAMMY for Best Rap Performance are — wait for it — Jay-Z and Kanye West for "Otis." That's West's fourth GRAMMY this evening.

5:33 PT/8:33 ET:
While we're waiting: did you see Gaga in the audience? What's lurking behind the veil?

5:31 PT/8:31 ET:
Commercial time. Up next is the award for Best Rap Performance. Will Chris Brown take the stage again and claim the prize with Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne? Or will it go to Kanye West and Jay-Z for the much-acclaimed "Otis"? Lupe Fiasco, Wiz Khalifa, and Nicki Minaj and Drake are also in the mix. Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson perform right after that — if you haven't heard them harmonize, don't miss it!

5:30 PT/8:30 ET:
Regardless of whether he takes home a GRAMMY tonight, Chris Brown is a contender for most acrobatic performance. His legs are like rubber bands (in the best possible way).

5:29 PT/8:29 ET:
And he's keeping it coming: "Beautiful People" is a message song, and the message is clearly one of uplift, but that hasn't hampered the tempo or Brown's onstage energy. "Don't let them bring you down, noooo!" I'm feeling it. And feeling up. You too?

5:27 PT/8:27 ET:
Chris Brown has climbed up a Rubik's Cube-like stage in his varsity jacket. Who's got the moves like Jagger?

5:26 PT/8:26 ET:
Chris Brown, a three-time nominee tonight, has stormed the GRAMMY stage with "Turn Up The Music" and, through the fog, some pretty complicated but hot dance moves are emerging. Check those fast-moving feet. Leggoooo, Chris!

5:25 PT/8:25 ET:
Adele may have some more statue-collecting to do tonight, but already she's crying. She's beautiful in a black sparkly dress and a classic siren hairstyle.

5:24 PT/8:24 ET:
Here it is, the night's first award: Best Pop Solo Performance goes to Adele. Surprised? This is Adele's third win of the evening, following Best Short Form Video and Best Pop Vocal Album.

5:22 PT/8:22 ET:
Bonnie Raitt and Alicia Keys don't come to mind automatically when you think of natural duet partners, maybe, but they owned this. Beautiful! Raitt and Keys glided into the song and savored every note. They'll never forget Etta James and neither will we.

5:18 PT/8:18 ET:
Also stay tuned for the first award announcement: Best Pop Solo Performance. Bruno Mars just made a pretty good case. He's up for "Grenade," against the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Pink, and Adele.

5:15 PT/8:15 ET:
Whitney Houston's untimely death is fresh in our minds, but we also lost the great blues lady Etta James not long ago. Bonnie Raitt and Alicia Keys will help remember the great, as they will perform the classic "A Sunday Kind Of Love." Do you know it? Any memories?

5:14 PT/8:14 ET:
Bruno Mars used to be an Elvis impersonator, not a James Brown impersonator. But he could have done JB -- check out that split!

5:12 PT/8:12 ET:
Nobody rocks a pompadour like Bruno.

5:10 PT/8:10 ET:
Speaking of suave, here comes Bruno Mars, who's up for six GRAMMYs tonight, including the coveted Album of the Year for Doo-Wops & Hooligans. He's tearing it up with "Runaway Baby," a retro James Brown-ish slice of riffed-up pop brilliance. And funky. And pyrotechnics!

5:08 PT/8:08 ET:
And a touching classic clip of Houston singing "I WIll Always Love You" from the 36th Annual GRAMMY Awards. A gorgeous, goosebump-raising GRAMMY moment.

5:06 PT/8:06 ET:
"We've had a death in the family," said LL Cool J, as he starts the show with a prayer for Whitney Houston. In addition to suave, he's thoughtful.

5:05 PT/8:05 ET:
Host LL Cool J, who is hosting the GRAMMYs for the first time, is dashing as ever.

5:04 PT/8:04 ET:
And Little Stevie with the lean-in. How's that for a start to Music's Biggest Night?

5:03 PT/8:03 ET:
Springsteen may be in his 60s, but it's impossible to sell him short: He's in full anthem mode, and the crowd worships him.

5:00 PT/8:00 ET:
It's go time, folks: Right out of the gate and straight outta Jersey, Springsteen, Scialfa, Van Zandt, and company are sending shivers through the Staples Center with "We Take Care Of Our Own," the bust-it-up first single from the Boss' upcoming new album, Wrecking Ball. Noticeably absent from the lineup is the late Clarence Clemons. But the Big Man's spirit lives on in this en fuego performance. What do you think, Springsteen loyalists?

4:45 PM PT/7:45 PM ET:

Churchill, Manitoba

The town of Churchill, Manitoba  is found in Northeastern Manitoba at 58N. Located on the shore of the Hudson Bay , Churchill has an elevation of thirteen meters.

Just North of Amery, at the mouth of the Churchill River , the scenic town of Churchill lies on the largest peatland in North America. Settled between the diverse Arctic tundra and Boreal Forest biomes, Churchill provides an array of plants and animals, as well as supporting a variety of human cultures.

From the stretching tundra speckled with wildflowers, lichens, and herds of caribou, to the shore of the Hudson Bay, home to the Beluga whale and several species of seal, Churchill is rich in wildlife. Also found in Churchill are over two hundred species of birds, the arctic fox, the arctic hare, and most importantly, the polar bear . Because of its location in the path of Polar bears traveling to their mating grounds, Churchill has often been referred to as the "Polar Bear Capitol of the World."

Due to its Northern location, you can travel to Churchill only by rail or by air.

The following data and climagraph represents the average temperature and precipitation for Churchill, Manitoba over the last 25 years.

Precipitation (mm) 17 13 18 23 31 45 51 61 53 47 35 20
Temperature (C) -27 -25 -20 -10 -1 6 12 11 6 -1 -13 -23

Data for climagraph obtained from Environment Canada.

Churchill experiences both continental and maritime climates. With a temperature range of 39C, Churchill experiences relatively cold weather year round, but summers are somewhat moderated by the close proximity to the Hudson Bay. Winters are better categorized as harsh, like those of an extreme northern climate. Receiving only 414mm of precipitation for the entire year, Churchill gets most of its precipitation in the summer.

Factors that affect the climate of Churchill:

Latitude: Churchill has a latitude of 58N, meaning it is located well into the northern hemisphere, causing it to receive a high albedo, meaning rays from the sun are reflected by the snow and ice. This results in low temperatures year round.

Nearness to water: Due to its location on the coast of the Hudson Bay, Churchill receives a moderating effect from the water in the summer, due to the fact that water heats up and cools down more slowly than land. During the winter however, Churchill receives temperatures characteristic of a continental climate. This is because during the winter months, the bay freezes over, so it doesn't have the same moderating effect that it does in the summer.

Air masses: During the summer, Churchill receives Maritime Arctic air masses that bring cool, but not freezing temperatures from the Hudson Bay. During the winter months, when the bay is frozen, Continental Arctic air masses form over the land and bay, bringing temperatures below -20C.

Latitude: Because Churchill is located so far north, it receives a significant amount of its precipitation in the form of snow.

Nearness to water: Located on the northwest coast of the Hudson Bay, Churchill receives air masses that carry moisture from forming over the bay. During the winter the air holds little precipitation because it forms over the frozen bay and land. This is the reason that most of Churchill's annual precipitation falls in the summer..

Air Masses: Most of the air masses that affect the area form over the Hudson Bay, meaning they hold a significant amount of moisture during the summer and are somewhat warmer than those that form over the frozen bay and bring almost no precipitation and extremely low temperatures during the winter months.

Land forms and Altitude: There are no significant land forms present in Churchill that have an effect on climate and altitude doesn't play any major role in the climate either.

Default 143 days?

I found this interesting this morning in my email inbox.

This cuts through the crap and zeroes in on the gut issue quickly! Are we all aboard the USS Ship of Fools? Makes me wonder!
The first time I read this quote, I thought it was dangerously true. Then I really started pondering it and thought how would this apply to our own lives/careers? Let's look at it again to see how absurd it is.

  • You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
    You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
    You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
    You couldn't join the military and become a Colonel after a 143 days of experience.
    You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.
    You couldn't become a police officer and become the Chief of Police after 143 days of experience.
    You couldn't work on the assembly line and become the President of General Motors after 143 days of experience

'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.
That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days?

We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a start.

AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public seems to feel comfortable with this and campaigning for him.

We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are OK with this for the President of the United States of America ?

Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol.

I did a little searching and this is a pretty good write up on Lincoln's site.
