I directed one, and I loved it. It was kind of an easier way to step into the world of directing—to have this incredible cast, and the crew, and our cameramen, Randall [Einhorn] and Matt [Sohn]. I did an enormous amount of learning that week. I would be excited to do another one.
Have you ever felt the desire to get in front of the camera like some of your fellow writers?
Oh yes. I desperately want to be a Schrute, and I don’t know what it’s going to take. There’ve been a couple of times when I’ve been offered, you know, one line as a waitress somewhere, and I’m like, “No, no, no.” I’m holding out to be a Schrute.
Yeah, definitely! Mike [Schur] and Paul were saying I wasn’t weird enough, or weird-looking enough. But I assert that I’m plenty weird-looking, or you put an Amish neck beard on me or something. Mike, who plays Mose [Schrute, Dwight’s illiterate cousin], is normal-looking, and they put an Amish neck beard on him. So th...
Yeah, and we’re trying to balance that out. We really enjoyed the Dwight-Andy-Angela triangle, but I think it was important to get it to a point where the duel happened, and now we can free those characters up for other stories. And it is also an office, and there are other dynamics that are interesting. It hasn’t felt...
The parade and carnival may have evolved, but one thing remains — the tradition of gathering to celebrate Guam’s liberation.
Håfa adai! With Liberation Day fast approaching, I can’t help but think about my late Chamoru grandmother, Guadalupe Torres Pangilinan, who would share stories about her life before, during and after the war. She was 10 when the Japanese invaded, leaving her home in Hagåtña and moving to Afame.
I’ll never forget her stories about Manengon. Her teenage brothers, Juan and Antonio Torres, together with the late Guam delegate and Gen. Vicente “Ben” Blaz, escaped Manengon to find food. Antonio became separated. A week later, he was found at the Lonfit River, tied to a tree and decapitated. The late Blaz shared thi...
As children, many of us didn’t understand the deeper history surrounding Guam’s Liberation Day. On July 21, we looked forward to setting up our tents in front of my grandfather’s store in Anigua — perfectly positioned on the parade route, with unobstructed views of the marching units and floats.
The Liberation Day parade and carnival may have evolved over the years, but one thing remains — the important tradition of gathering together to celebrate Guam’s liberation from the atrocities of war. On Liberation Day, we remember the Chamorus who lost their lives, and we give thanks for Guam’s liberators for their sa...
It takes a lot of work to organize and execute the parade and carnival. The Mayors’ Council is still in charge of the Liberation Parade, but wasn’t able to host the carnival due to a loss of funding from gambling concessions. Gov. Eddie Calvo was committed to maintaining this tradition and formed a committee of differe...
The opening of the 2018 Liberation Festival was a joyous celebration of our island’s culture and its people. Seeing residents and visitors gathered together in peace made me appreciate how the world has changed in a few generations.
My grandparent’s generation helped to rebuild Guam from ashes into the island we enjoy today. I recognize and thank our Chamoru people for their resilience to overcome and rebuild. I’m most grateful for their ability to retain and pass down their spirit of hospitality and generosity. This is the foundation in which the...
In celebration of Liberation Day, The Guam Museum will offer free admission on July 21 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Enjoying “The Journey of the CHamoru People” would be a great way to honor this day. We invite everyone to enjoy the Liberation Festival through July 22. Visit GVB’s Facebook page for more details about the Jul...
(Inside Science) – Two bottles of whole milk sit side-by-side in a supermarket refrigerator. One costs $3.46 per gallon while the other costs $7.08 per gallon.
The difference? The second bottle of milk is labeled organic.
People choose organic dairy products for any number of reasons, including their perceptions on the environmental impacts of dairy farming, the treatment of cows, and the safety of milk from cows given antibiotics or extra hormones. Consumers may also think organic milk offers better nutritional content than conventiona...
Numerous studies have attempted to compare organic and conventional dairy products, but the studies' findings often contradict each other.
"For every paper that shows a small increase there is another that shows no change at all or the opposite change," said Scott Rankin, professor and chair of the food science department at University of Wisconsin - Madison, who was not associated with the study. "And you might get a push of one nutrient in this directio...
Results varied because milk composition changes with factors like diet, cattle breed, lactation cycle, and even weather. The researchers found that most studies didn't control for all of these factors when comparing the two types of milk.
The new study only reported on milk's natural components; it did not cover components like antibiotics or extra growth hormones.
"In very good comprehensive detail…the paper says there is no conclusive study out there that demonstrates a [nutritional] difference in organically and non-organically produced milk," said John Lucey, a dairy chemist at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, who was not an author on the paper.
In the United States dairy farms must earn the "organic" label. Organic cows receive 100 percent organic feed, which includes a requirement that they feed at pasture for about four months each year, and receive almost one-third of their food during that time. The farmer cannot give extra growth-promoting hormones or an...
These organic guidelines do not mean all organic milk is the same, and one of the biggest factors affecting the nutritional composition of any type of milk is a cow's diet.
"Just look at a cow as a milk-making machine – what you put in is what you get out at the other end," said Donald Otter, a food scientist at Auckland University in New Zealand. Otter and his colleagues published their findings in the Journal of Dairy Science in January.
For example, diet, along with cow genetics, helps determine the ratio of fatty acids in milk. Cow milk contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, compounds humans need to build healthy cells and for proper nerve functioning. Because humans cannot synthesize these compounds naturally, we need to ingest them. The Aca...
The study found that pasture-fed cows often produce milk richer in omega-3 fatty acids – found in grasses – than do cows fed high-energy food mixtures containing cereal grains; fats and oils; by-products from animals, sugar beets, and sugarcane; and usually vitamin and mineral supplements. Although the amounts of both ...
But consumers shouldn't assume that "organic" automatically equates to more pasture time.
"Although eating grass is a component of organic, you can be non-organic and still have your cattle eat a lot of grass," said Lucey. A cow, organic or conventional, living in warmer climates may graze on grass practically year-around while a Wisconsin farmer must provide her cows with a barn and concentrates during col...
Otter and his colleagues found no clear differences in total fat content, protein concentration, lactose concentration, calcium content, and naturally-occurring hormones between organically and conventionally produced milk. On the other hand, concentrations of iodine and selenium, both essential nutrients for human hea...
"It's actually amazing the amount of dirt that a cow in a paddock eats in a day. It's kilo[gram]s worth!" said Otter.
Taste also did not vary between organic and conventional milks, but allowing cows to graze in the pasture can add a grassy flavor to the milk.
With such a wide price gap between conventional and organic milk, consumers may be surprised by the actual lack of significant differences in nutritional value between the two milks.

Gertrude D. Roberts, a homemaker and avid gardener who was a member of Fulton Baptist Church for 61 years, died of complications from an infection Sept. 8 at Bon Secours Hospital. She was 86.
Born Gertrude Davis in Forest City, S.C.. she graduated from Rutherford County, N.C., public schools.
She came to Baltimore in 1945 after her marriage to Iredell Roberts, a Bethlehem Steel Corp. steel worker. He died in 1998.
A resident of McKean Avenue, Mrs. Roberts was a homemaker who was know for her cooking and gardening skills.
"She loved to cook, and her yeast rolls, which she made with real yeast and potato water, were out of this world. Her sweet potato pies and cakes were also so good," said a daughter, Marva R. Street of Washington.
"Her rose garden behind her McKean Avenue rowhouse looked like something out of England. They were the prettiest roses you ever saw," Mrs. Street said.
Mrs. Roberts had been an active member of Fulton Baptist Church since 1946. A soprano and soloist, she was a longtime mainstay of its sanctuary choir.
"She had such a beautiful voice and was still singing with the choir. She sang the Sunday before last. At my birthday party last year, she sang 'Great is Thy Faithfulness,'" said Madge Cannon, a Fulton Baptist Church parishioner.
"My parents believed in education and that their seven children went to church every Sunday. And if you didn't go to church, you didn't go anywhere else except school for the rest of the week," her daughter said.
She enjoyed attending the theater and traveling.
Services for Mrs. Roberts will be held at 10 a.m. today at her church, 1630 W. North Ave.
Also surviving are three sons, Iredell Alan Roberts and Timothy S. Roberts, both of Baltimore, and Larry J. Roberts of Detroit; three other daughters, Patsy A. Stepney, Sheila G. Roberts and Aleta Gail Snowden, all of Baltimore; three brothers, James Davis, Charles Davis and Alfred Lee Davis Jr., all of Detroit; four s...

Believe it or not, there are more than 45,000 Chinese restaurants in the United States. That’s why Lisa Ng Lum was so delighted to learn that the restaurant she co-owns, Happy Days Chinese Seafood Restaurant in Kaimuki, has been chosen as one of the country’s very best.
A delicious mix of Hong Kong-style cuisine at Happy Days.
Waitress Annie Chen serves up fresh dim sum.
Scrumptious dim sum, including Siu Mai ($2.68) and Steam Char Siu Bow ($2.68).
At the recent seventh annual Top 100 Chinese Restaurants Awards Show, held at the Hyatt Hotel in San Francisco, Happy Days received an award for Overall Excellence. Lum traveled to the Mainland for the exciting event, which was hosted by celebrity chef Martin Yan and radio cooking show hostess Theresa Lin, executive fo...
When Lum got home to Hawaii, she took just a little time to celebrate the award with a party for the restaurant’s staff, including her brother, sister-in-law and her 72-year-old mother, Fong Yuan, who makes dim sum for Happy Days. Then she got right back to work.
Originally from Guangzhou, the largest city in the Guangdong province of China, Lum worked at Sea Fortune on North King Street for 22 years. She was a waitress and then a manager at the famous Chinatown restaurant. When it closed in 2000, Lum and her former boss from Sea Fortune joined forces to launch a new restaurant...
Customers can definitely find happiness in Happy Days’ dim sum. Between 8 and 11:30 a.m. each day, take-out dim sum orders are discounted 25 percent. For those who prefer to dine in, the carts make their rounds every day until 3 p.m. “We have about 30 different kinds of dum sum,” says Lum.
Most cost $2.68 per plate or basket, including popular selections Siu Mai, Baked Char Siu Bao, Har Gau, Half Moons filled with shrimp and spinach, and creamy Egg Tarts. Plain, Beef and Barbecue Pork Look Fun is available for $2.85, or with Shrimp or Scallops for $3.25. At $3.50 each, the Joong is also a favorite; custo...
“A lot of regulars like our sweet and sour Pig’s Feet Casserole ($9.95), which is pretty unusual,” says Lum. She also recommends the Roast Duck ($11.95 for a half-duck), Minute Chicken with Cake Noodles ($8.95), and Seafood Casserole ($11.95). “And almost every table orders our Honey Walnut Shrimp ($11.95)!” she adds.
Happy Days offers set dinners for four people for $63, or six for $84. There’s a full bar, and a private room in the front of the restaurant can hold parties of up to 40 guests.
You would think that Rod Blagojevich's recent removalfrom office would make politicians extremely careful about appearances. Yet, President Obama may have now gotten himself into a similar situation over yet another Senate seat.
Over the last week, Obama has been in discussions with New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg about becoming the next Secretary of Commerce. There has already been an understandingthat Obama was trying to tempt Senator Gregg with the offer to be head of Commerce so that the Democrats would obtain a filibuster proof senate. N...
"The White House, I'm told, is still trying to get a guarantee from Governor Lynch that he'll replace Senator Gregg with a Democrat."
Smith's statement was a single sentence and no other implications have been drawn from it. But a report in The Wall Street Journal's Political Diary today seems to confirm this claim.
Obama is misappropriating a government position, putting someone into his cabinet who he doesn't believe is the best person for the job.
The Politico information indicates that Obama clearly does not view Senator Gregg as the best person to head the Commerce Department. Rather, it makes explicit that Obama was offering the Commerce job solely to buy a Senate seat for the Democrats.
Senator Gregg, though, resisted any deal that gave Democrats an immediate filibuster proof majority. As Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell noted yesterday on CBS's "Face the Nation," Senator Gregg promisedthat he would only leave the Senate if another Republican replaced him.
So what was Obama to do? He apparently compromised for the next best option. John Fund at The Wall Street Journal reports on the new deal: Gregg will be replaced by a caretaker Republican who won't run for reelection -- giving the Democrats in an "increasingly" Democratic state "a good shot at picking up the seat"...
Arguably, buying this Senate seat might be even worse than doing so with a promise to help to raise campaign donations. Obama is misappropriating a government position, putting someone into his cabinet who he doesn't believe is the best person for the job.
With the nation in a recession, the Commerce Department position is even more important than usual. For Obama to use it to buy a Senate seat seems particularly troubling and cynical. -- A Senate seat that won't even be relevant for the legislation that, in Obama's view, could help with the recession.
Senator Gregg's motivations are obviously quite different from Obama's -- after all, heading up the Commerce Department is a powerful position and he might really believe that he is a better person for the job than whomever else Obama would appoint. But the White House's statement, as related by Politico...
Ironically, not only was Blagojevich just removed from office for trying to sell a Senate seat, but the Commerce position is only open because Governor Bill Richardson was forcedto withdraw his name over investigations into bribery.

From Zacks: The first major storm of this year – Hurricane Florence – started brewing in the Atlantic. The threat has been accredited the Category 4 status (notably category 5 indicates the strongest), meaning winds are likely to blow at speed as fast as 130 mph and can ravage property and lives.
Though the hurricane is expected to weaken in the coming days, recent computer-simulated predictions show there’s a possibility that Florence could hit southeastern coasts by late this week. Apart from this, storm Gordon hit the Gulf Coast region on Sep 5, after it lashed on the west of the Alabama-Mississippi border.
Whatever the case, investors can keep track of the below-mentioned sector ETFs and stocks before every Atlantic Hurricane season, which spans from June to November.
The condition of houses in an area ravaged by a massive storm can well be imagined. So, home improvement retailers like Home Depot Inc. (HD – Free Report) and Lowe’s Companies Inc. (LOW – Free Report) may benefit this season depending on the strength of the storm. ETFs like Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fun...
This should shower gains on infrastructure stocks as re-building will push up their demand. So, companies dealing in building materials should see a surge. The Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLB – Free Report) , SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB – Free Report) and Invesco Dynamic Building & Construction (PKB – Free Re...
If destruction is massive, insured losses could be as high. Property and casualty insurance companies may thus be hit hard as these are likely to shell out handsomely on claims in such catastrophic storms. Insurance stocks normally decline after such events. Shares of property and casualty homeowners’ insurance compani...
iShares U.S. Insurance ETF (IAK – Free Report) should also be tracked closely this season. Having said all, investors should note that the sector performs well in rising rate environment, which currently is the case in the United States.
Severe hurricanes could roil rail and container activity, and crush infrastructure for transportation. So, airline companies like American Airlines (AAL – Free Report) , JetBlue (JBLU – Free Report)and Southwest (LUV) and US Global Jets ETF (JETS – Free Report) could feel the pinch. Transportation ETFs like SPDR S&P Tr...
Restaurants may see considerable sales reduction and destruction due to hurricanes. Per an article published on MarketWatch, Morgan Stanley’s analysisshows that some restaurants have considerable exposure to hurricane prone areas. These are the likes of Fiesta Restaurant Group Inc. FRGI, Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc. DNKN,...
The Consumer Discretionary SPDR ETF (XLY) was unchanged in premarket trading Tuesday. Year-to-date, XLY has gained 17.90%, versus a 8.39% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.
Pride of place! Selena Gomez had the best seats in the house at Justin Bieber's concert at Los Angeles' Staples Center on Wednesday, March 23, just days after her ex shared a supercute throwback photograph of them kissing.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the 23-year-old singer standing subtly in the sound-mixing area during Bieber's Purpose World Tour performance and excitedly snapped pictures on their phones, then posted the snaps to social media.
Just four days earlier, Bieber sent a not-so-subtle message to his former girlfriend in the form of a throwback smoochy photograph with the caption "Feels."
"Same Old Love" singer Gomez didn't object to the picture, and even responded with a totally sweet "Perfect" comment. The picture has since garnered more than 2 million likes and hundreds of thousands of comments.
The couple (dubbed "Jelena" by fans) dated on and off for three years until they officially went their separate ways in 2014.
They have spoken frequently about their relationship in the press since their split, with Gomez recently claiming the constant discussions have made her "so exhausted."
"I honestly am so done," she told W magazine in her March cover story. "I care about his health and well-being. But I can’t do it anymore."
Looks like she wasn't telling the whole truth!
War has never been a solution to the problems of the world except in the guise of defending one’s nation from attack. It has become increasingly clear that the attacks on 9/11 very likely could have been prevented had it not been for the complacency, inaction, and incompetence of the Bush Administration.
the very people who have advocated the very policies that led to the current economic meltdown in the markets?
we claim is responsible for the attacks in spite of killing upwards of 5,000 innocent people, including Canadians and wedding guests?
Isn’t it enough that the Bush Administration has reneged on a variety of international agreements including the International Criminal Court, the Kyoto Accords on global warming, and the ABM treaty, effectively giving the rest of the world the finger?
It seems Bush is intent upon turning the United States into the greatest rogue state on the planet.
