Everyone else is writing about the ending of "The Sopranos", and so am I. On the off chance someone reads this who watches the show but hasn't seen the last episode, please STOP READING NOW. As a long time TiVo fan, I understand that sometime people are a bit behind on their TV shows.
I was disappointed by the ending. In a sense that wasn't much of a surprise since I thought the second to last season was terrible, and this past season, while better than the one before it, wasn't great. But it was still a little disappointing since the Sopranos was a really good show at one time.
There seem to be four different ways TV shows can end. Some shows just disappear, cancelled in between seasons with no chance for closure or goodbye. Some shows have a cliffhanger with the hopes that they will return next season and never do. Sometimes show try to go out with a bang. They have something major happen. This was the case with the ending for "Seinfeld" (a show pretty much everyone but me liked). They had something big and crazy happen, and everyone hated it. "Mad About You" and "King of Queens" didn't do much better in that regard (although "King of Queens" did try to set things back to normal a bit). Finally, a show can end by trying to show that things are basically the same as they were before, and we just don't get to look in any more. "Cheers" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" both did this and at least in the case of "Cheers", it was the prototype of how to properly end a long running and much loved show.
For "The Sopranos", David Chase seemed to want to have it both ways. He threw in lots of big things (killing a lot of major characters over the last few episodes), talk of serious legal trouble for Tony, and so on. But he also ended it with the family having dinner together (at a diner which seems odd since I think there may have been a restaurant that featured pretty heavily in the show). Except that wasn't enough. No, he also had to draw the scene out, keep showing supposedly suspicious people walking in and having Meadow take forever in a terrible attempt at parallel parking (something which I completely sympathize with). I think all this was some amateurish attempt at building drama and tension (someone should think about renting some Hitchcock movies to learn a bit). The cut to black at the end just made me think my TiVo messed up recording, it certainly did not make me think that Tony died as some people did.
I also HATE Journey. Is there a worse song they could end a show with?
I guess I would have been happy if something major had happened or if nothing had happened and it looked like things just went on. But trying to have both just seemed like a cop-out. Which for a show like this is a real shame.

Michael Andrew Fox, lepiej znany jako Michael J. Fox (ur. 9 czerwca 1961 w Edmonton) – kanadyjsko–amerykański aktor.

Życiorys

Wczesne lata
Urodził się w Edmonton w prowincji Alberta jako syn Phyllis Evelyn (z domu Piper) i Williama Nelsona Foxa. Jego ojciec był 25-letnim weteranem kanadyjskich sił zbrojnych, który później został dyspozytorem policji, podczas gdy matka była urzędniczką płacową i aktorką. Jego rodzina miała pochodzenie irlandzkie, angielskie i szkockie. Jego rodzina mieszkała w różnych miastach i miasteczkach w całej Kanadzie ze względu na karierę ojca, zanim w 1971 przeniosła się do Burnaby. Fox ukończył Burnaby Central Secondary School.

Kariera
W wieku 15 lat przyjął rolę Jamiego Romano, 12-letniego młodszego siostrzeńca Leo w sitcomie CBC "Leo i ja" (1978). Rok później (1979) mając 18 lat przeniósł się do Los Angeles, by dalej rozwijać karierę aktorską. Wystąpił w komedii "Szaleństwa o północy" (1980) i dramacie sensacyjnym Marka L. Lestera "Klasa 1984" (1982). Rozpoznawalność wśród telewidzów zyskał dzięki roli Alexa P. Keatona, najstarszego dziecka Stevena i Elyse Keatonów (Michael Gross i Meredith Baxter) w sitcomie NBC "Więzy rodzinne" (Family Ties, 1982–1989), za którą otrzymał nagrodę niemieckiego magazynu "Bravo" (1985), zdobył nagrodę Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards (1988) i był czterokrotnie nominowany do Złotego Globu dla najlepszego aktora w serialu komediowym (1986, 1987–1989). Do pewnego czasu, ze względu na swoją "chłopięcą urodę", mimo dorosłego wieku, grał nastolatków. Zasłynął rolą Marty'ego McFly w filmie "Powrót do przyszłości" i jego kontynuacjach.

W 2000 r. oznajmił, że z powodu choroby Parkinsona opuści serial Spin City, w którym grał główną rolę. Od tego roku zaangażował się w działalność na rzecz wykorzystania komórek macierzystych w leczeniu tej choroby. Wolne chwile spędza na pisaniu – napisał autobiografię Lucky Man ("Szczęśliwy facet"), w której opisuje swoje przejścia z chorobą; w 2003 r. napisał pilotażowy odcinek do serialu Hench at Home. Ostatnią książkę pt. Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist ("Nieuleczalny Optymista: Zawsze patrząc w górę.") wydał w roku 2009.

Życie osobiste
W 1988 ożenił się z aktorką Tracy Pollan, z którą ma czwórkę dzieci; syna Sama Michaela (ur. 30 maja 1989) oraz trzy córki – bliźniaczki Schuyler Frances i Aquinnah Kathleen (ur. 15 lutego 1996) i Esmé Annabelle (ur. 3 listopada 2001).

Regulations such as the Federal Financial Accountability and Transparency Act have significantly increased the amount of administration and reporting required for sponsored projects.

Examining Traditional and Non-Traditional Mentor/Mentee Relationships Research administration is continuously changing, developing, and transforming as a result of demands from research, sponsors, and stakeholders.

One way is to lean on each other through a mentoring process where mentors and mentees participate in an at-will relationship to help each other grow, learn, connect, and share experiences. Mentoring relationships follow a lifecycle involving three stages: initiate , cultivate , and evaluate . It is critical for both mentors and mentees to determine why they ...

Ben Bernanke gives his Fed's QE efforts credit for creating 2 million jobs. The man's IQ notwithstanding, what a profoundly presumptive, naive, and/or, quite frankly, an insulting-to-our-intelligence statement. But let's say, naively, that he's correct - that those QE $'s sitting [stubbornly] in bank excess reserves somehow create jobs. Well then great! Let's keep it up. It's a no-brainer! If all it takes is the creation of 2 trillion in new dollars to create 2 million jobs, we should do that till the cows come home. At that pace ($1 mill/job), another $5 trillion or so and we'll have won back all the jobs lost since the start of the Great Recession.
And, I suppose then, that as long as all that cash remains in banks' excess reserves - as long as they never actually push it into the economy - we needn't worry about inflation.
Partisan hackery at its worst!

Sitting down for at least six hours a day results in tens of thousands of people dying every year and costs the NHS £700 million annually, analysis concludes.
Office workers must be encouraged to stand up every hour and spend their free time walking to make up for the effects of long days behind a desk, researchers said. Employers should allow activity breaks and accept that yoking staff to their screens all day will one day go the way of offices wreathed in cigarette smoke, they added.

The second playlist of The L Word fandom revival is dedicated to Bette and Tina. At the beginning of the first season, having been a couple for 7 years, Tina and Bette are in the process of searching for a sperm donor so that Tina can be artificially inseminated. Bette and Tina's relationship appears to their friends as very strong. Tina confirms to their closest friends that Bette is her "first, last, and forever" love. However, from the very beginning they seem to have problems, and even as they attempt to start a family, it is revealed that they no longer make love. Although they seem to move past this problem as the series progresses, Bette's career in the California Arts Center is shown to come between them, with Bette frequently not having time to spend with Tina. The two women are portrayed by Jennifer Beals and Laurel Holloman.

All 97 third-graders at Tustin's Thorman Elementary School surprised with brand new bikes
When the third-graders of Thorman Elementary School in Tustin were asked to write essays on empathy, they were told that each of the top four submissions would win a free bicycle.
And they gathered under that premise Monday in the school's multipurpose room, where four students were announced as the winners.
But then school officials unveiled a pretty big holiday surprise: First, they announced that a few additional bikes would be given away, and then they revealed that all 97 third-graders would leave with bikes — and matching helmets too.
The shiny red and blue two-wheelers came from Bikes for Kids, a San Diego-based nonprofit, and were paid for by Pacific Advisors, a financial management firm based in Newport Beach. They were secretly assembled over the weekend by a team of volunteers, and most of the fleet was stashed on the stage of the multipurpose room behind a red curtain.
Once the curtain was pulled back on Monday, cheers, screams, high-fives and hugs ensued. Some of the school's teachers even cried.
"The teachers just broke into tears," Principal Deanna Parks said. "Their passion for the kids just went from the inside to the outside in a second."
These emotions were understandable. Parks told the OCDE Newsroom that many of the third-graders were receiving their very first bikes. In fact, she said, Thorman's entire bike rack is typically empty on school days.
The Orange County Register has a great read on the assembly with lots of photos here, and you can also catch video of the big reveal from KNBC and KTLA.

Betteshanger Sustainable Parks, a major project aimed at regenerating the former East Kent coalfield, is celebrating a number of grants totalling £1.8m, from successful funding applications that include the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Using money raised by National Lottery players, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has confirmed a £1.3m grant, to be used specifically to support the development and operation of the Kent Mining Museum, which will be housed in a new state-of-the-art Visitor Centre at Betteshanger Park, on the site of the former Betteshanger Colliery.
Devised to celebrate and preserve Kent's coal mining heritage, the Kent Mining Museum will embrace a unique collection of oral history, archives and artefacts, many of which would otherwise be in danger of being lost forever.
In addition to HLF, the Garfield Weston Foundation has awarded the project £500,000. A grant of £25,000 has come from the Foyle Foundation and The Swire Charitable Trust has awarded £18,000.
Using the widely-recognised Shellard Formula, it is anticipated that the Betteshanger Project will contribute a much-needed £6.2 million annually to the East Kent economy.
Owned by the Hadlow Group and developed in partnership with the Kent Mining Heritage Foundation, the Betteshanger Project will see the redevelopment of the former colliery site. The three-fold aim of the Project is to: transform the former Betteshanger Colliery into a centre for sustainable energy; improve significantly the sport and leisure activities currently on the 250-acre site, and; establish a Museum that records and displays the century-long history of coal mining in East Kent. It will focus on stories of Kent's mining heritage connecting 'energy old', with the sustainable energies of the future.
The Kent Mining Heritage Foundation has also set up a Development Group to lead the fundraising campaign. It is made up of key figures from all over the county, among them Amanda Cottrell OBE; Brig. David Ralls CBE DFC DL; Des Crampton DL; George Jenkins OBE; James Ryeland; Jim Davies; Lady Anne-Marie Nelson CBE DL; Lady Northbourne; Paul Hudson; Peter Williams MBE; Valerie Hale DL.
Using funds already raised, work has begun on the new £8m Visitor Centre at Betteshanger Park. The Centre will house the Kent Mining Museum, a Green Energy Centre, conferencing and events facilities, a café serving local produce and a Cycle Centre – with external facilities that include a mining-themed play park, a 3-acre events amphitheatre and improved sporting and leisure facilities.
The new Visitor Centre is scheduled to open in spring 2017 and the Museum in the summer.
Betteshanger Park, until recently known as Fowlmead Country Park, is operated as part of the Betteshanger Sustainable Parks scheme and is integral to the regeneration of the former mining community in East Kent. Facilities include a 3km road cycling track, 10km of mountain bike trails, leisure paths and established woodlands, wetlands and reed beds full of wildlife.
Located on the site of the former Betteshanger colliery, the scheme will see the 121-hectare site transformed into a much-enhanced Country Park, with new Visitor Centre encompassing the Kent Mining Museum and Betteshanger Business Park.
