Interview with Madonna from Entertainment Weekly
Andy Cohen: Madonna! Hi! How are you?
Madonna: I'm tired, not gonna lie.
Andy Cohen: You're working your ass off, aren't you?
Madonna: I am. We work really late hours, and I got into the vicious cycle of working late then sleeping late.
Andy Cohen: Where are you right now?
Madonna: I'm in New York.
Andy Cohen: I mean, are you in your tub? In your bed?
Madonna: Ha, no. I wish I was in my bed. If I got in my bed, though, I wouldn't get out. I'm in my office.
Andy Cohen: And are you in sweats?
Madonna: I'm in silk pajama shorts, if you must know. They were made for me by Dolce & Gabbana, I don't know, eight years ago, so there's sort of tattered, vintage look about me.
Andy Cohen: Perfect, you're giving me full Madonna now! I can't wait for you get to get back on tour – I love screaming your name at the top of my lungs. Am I going to see dancing nuns on stripper poles?
Madonna: Did somebody tell you that?
Andy Cohen: I saw the trailer.
Madonna: Oops, so I guess the cat's out of the bag.
Andy Cohen: Was that your idea?
Madonna: I mean, yeah. It was. I just like the juxtaposition. I'm very immersed in deconstructing the concept of sexuality and religion and how it's not supposed to get together, but in my world it goes together.
Andy Cohen: That's one of the reasons that I love you. I assume we'll be hearing "Bitch, get off my pole" while the nuns are on the stripper poles.
Madonna: Mmmm, you might. I don't want to give away the details. I want people to be surprised.
Andy Cohen: How many hours a day are you rehearsing at this point?
Madonna: Well, I consider meeting for video and fittings all part of the rehearsal process, so that's, I don't know, 10 to 12 hours a day.
Andy Cohen: What are you eating?
Madonna: [Laughs] Anything I can get my hands on.
Andy Cohen: Come on!
Madonna: No, really, I have to keep eating so I have energy. I eat food, you know, normal food. Omelets for breakfast, healthy lunches, and things like that, but i'm also supplementing that with power shakes and those energy bars. I have a woman who follows me around. I call her the food police. "Aare you eating? Did you drink enough water?"
I'm like, "Bitch, get off my pole!"
Andy Cohen: By the way, can you cook?
Madonna: Wow, we're really jumping around.
Andy Cohen: I'm just curious!
Madonna: No, it's not one of my talents, I'm sorry to say. Everyone asks me that, including my 14-year-old son [Rocco], who is absolutely not satisfied with all of my accomplishments. He just wants me to cook for him. I'm like, "Okay, I'll get to that. I promise you, when this tour's over with, I'm gonna cook for you."
Andy Cohen: I loved seeing Rocco on the last tour. Are we gonna see him doing anything on this one?
Madonna: I think he's probably gonna work behind the scenes. He's not interested in performing on stage with me right now. There's cooler things. Your mom is not that cool when you're 14.
Andy Cohen: So do you still have the Truth or Dare mother-hen thing going on with the dancers?
Madonna: Of course. Yep. Every day. They're my little babies.
Andy Cohen: Tell me how you balance hits and new material on your set list.
Madonna: Well it's tricky. Of course, the thing I'm most excited about doing is my new stuff, because I haven't done it yet and it's fresh.
But I realize that people want to hear my older stuff, so for me it's always a tricky balance trying to keep some kind of continuity, not only with sound, sonically, but also thematically. Because when I first started writing music, I was a young girl, and I didn't write about very deep things. And now I do. Although going from what I consider to be slightly superficial topics to more profound ways of thinking is also a challenge. That's why a lot of times I have to take the songs and turn them inside out and make them more ironic than straightforward, so that they work for me.
Andy Cohen: You've been teasing your set list on Instagram.
Madonna:Yeah, of course I have.
Andy Cohen: So will I hear "Dress You up"?
Madonna: Yes.
Andy Cohen: "Who's That Girl"?
Madonna: Yes.
Andy Cohen: "Vogue"?
Madonna: Yes.
Andy Cohen: "Holiday"?
Madonna: Yes.
Andy Cohen: Wow, you're giving me good info!
Now stop right there!
Andy Cohen: Let me ask you this, do you read the comments under your Instagram posts?
Madonna: Sometimes. Like whenever I'm on holiday.
Andy Cohen: What's your reaction to them?
Madonna: Sometimes people are really supportive and nice, but you can't get attached to people saying nice things because then when people say mean things it will bother you. So you just have to take it all in stride, and I really don't take any of it seriously. I can't afford to.
The most illuminating thing about reading comments on Instagram is how literal people are, and how people have no sense of humor and no sense of irony; [they] don't read between the lines. It's interesting
Andy Cohen: Are you addicted to Instagram a little bit?
Madonna: No, not really. I could live without it. But it's an important part of my work now. I like to think of it as a kind of art gallery for my thoughts, my dreams, my wishes, my state of mind. Can't ignore social media.
Andy Cohen: I love that you share old photos of you with your fans. You seem like someone who doesn't like to look back, but I love it when you do?
Madonna: I love to look back and see the great art and artists that I've had the privilege to collaborate with, whether it's [Jean Paul] Gaultier or Keith Haring or Steven Meisel or Herb Ritts or whomever. I worked with the greatest and the best and the finest. It also feels like a time that will never happen again. Do you know what I mean? So it makes me feel really blessed.
Andy Cohen: It's trite at this point to say that you reinvent yourself every few years. But I wonder, why is it important for you to keep creating new stuff?
Madonna: Because as an artist I have something new to say every time I make a record. I think that's kind of a no-brainer. I'm not a "greatest hits" kind of girl. You could say it's reinventing, but a real artist is continuously changing and evolving because the art is continuously changing and evolving. I mean, Picasso didn't paint the same paintings over and over again.
Andy Cohen: What is the best and worst part of touring?
Madonna: You're like, "Yeah, just shut the f— up."
Andy Cohen: No, no, I got it! I got it!
Madonna: That's the endless question I get: "Why do you keep doing it?"
Andy Cohen: You obviously don't have to.
Madonna: But to me, that's a sexist thing to say. No one said to Picasso when he was 80, "Why are you painting?"
Andy Cohen: Why is that sexist, though?
Madonna: Because he's a man and nobody asked him that, okay? But because I'm a woman, people ask me. Does anyone ask Mick Jagger why he keeps going on tour?
Andy Cohen: Yeah, I actually think they do. What I'm getting at is, you could probably park it at Madison Square Garden and do a residency twice a month for the next 20 years.
Madonna: I don't think so.
Andy Cohen: Really?
Madonna: No, people in New York are sick of me.
Andy Cohen: Are you f—ing kidding me? You're the queen of New York.
Madonna: No. I don't know.
Andy Cohen: Do you have a favorite city to perform in?
Madonna: Well, in America, my favourite city is New York, obviously. Cause it's my hometown.
Andy Cohen: Even though they're over you?
Madonna: You know the old saying: You're a prophet everywhere but in your own country.
Andy Cohen: Is there a city where you've performed that you will not return to?
Madonna: I don't think I should go back to Moscow or St. Petersburg.
Andy Cohen: You stirred some s— there, but God bless you for doing it. Do you think they would have you back?
Madonna: No. But that's okay. Why would I even want to perform in a place where being gay is [criminalized]?
Andy Cohen: What's your current favorite song on Rebel Heart?
Madonna: Well, I love "Ghosttown." I love "Bitch I'm Madonna," and I love "Illuminati," "Holy Water." The darker, crazier, more controversial songs.
Andy Cohen: Have you seen any tours in the past year that have inspired you? On Instagram, you welcomed Taylor Swift to New York when she was here.
Madonna: I didn't get the chance to go see her show. I was bummed. We were actually gonna do something together on stage, but I didn't go to the show because I was rehearsing and I had to shoot a video the next day. Going to shows requires free time. Who's the last person I saw?…
Andy Cohen: I remember you really heaped a lot of praise on Beyoncé's last tour.
Madonna: Oh! That's probably the last big show I've seen, and that was really good.
Andy Cohen: What was good about it?
Madonna: She's a great performer and she puts on a show. She's a professional, you know what I mean? She ticks all the boxes. She's great live, and all the stuff around her, it's complete entertainment. And she gives it her all, so I appreciate that.
Andy Cohen: By the way, what were you gonna do with Taylor Swift on stage?
Madonna: I'm not gonna tell you, because we might still do it. You're very nosy. You just want to know everything.
Andy Cohen: I really do!
Madonna: I'm just gonna send my diary over to your house, okay? With a key. Open it up, read it, send it back to me, okay?
Andy Cohen: Please do. I want to know f—ing everything!
Madonna: Skip over all the parts about who I have crushes on and things like that.
Andy Cohen: Oh my God. There's no way I'm skipping that part. Well, now I want to know, do you have a crush on any of your dancers at this current moment in time?
Madonna: I mean. I always do. You have to. I call them my "stage baes".
Andy Cohen: Perfect.
Madonna: But that's it, it's just on the stage.
Andy Cohen: You keep it on the stage. That would be messy, right?
Madonna: Yeah, of course, and that actually makes it more electric, you know?
Andy Cohen: When was the last time you saw your 1991 doc Truth or Dare?
Madonna: Jeez, I don't know. Several years ago. I've seen bits and pieces from it. I sort of gag when I watch it, 'cause I'm like, "Oh my God, I can't" It's hard to watch myself do anything. I can't even stand to watch myself in concert, like my last tour.
Andy Cohen: Really? Why?
Madonna: I just don't like to watch it. But I think maybe Truth or Dare, I could possibly revisit it right now.
Andy Cohen: Can you call me when you do that, please?
Madonna: Let's watch it together.
Andy Cohen: I want to film you watching Truth or Dare and release that.
Madonna: Me just going, "I can't believe I said that. Oh my God, I can't believe I did that." The arrogance…
Andy Cohen: Well, the arrogance was brilliant. The shade, the arrogance…
Madonna: The shade was thrown! I'm afraid to watch it. I just think I was a horrible brat, that's what I'm afraid of.
Andy Cohen: As a student of yours, it seems like you're having more fun on stage recently. Am I right? Maybe just that you smile more.
Madonna: That could be it. I don't know. I'm very invested in having a good time with this show. You know, not beating myself up if I make a mistake.
Andy Cohen: So… grill or no grill on stage?
Madonna: It's really hard to sing with a grill in your mouth. You end up lisping, and putting your teeth together is actually essential to singing well. So as much as I love a grill, it probably won't be in my mouth when I'm singing.
Andy Cohen: I will be there both nights of Madison Square Garden. I cannot wait.
Madonna: Thank you so much. Make yourself noticeable in the audience so I can bump and grind you.

New Madonna Interview in Entertainment Weekly
You know Andy Cohen as the executive producer of the insanely addictive Real Housewives franchise and the host of the cable's late-night talk show Watch What Happens Live—but what happens when Bravo's bad-ass bon vivant takes over the pages of EW?
…Cohen, who has made no secret about wanting to interview Madonna on WWHL, sat down with the Queen of Pop as she gets set to launch her Rebel Heart tour in September. It's the first time he has ever interviewed his favorite singer—and no question was off limits. The two discuss everything from her setlist to her thoughts on Taylor Swift and Beyonce to why she loves using Instagram. "It's an important part of my work now," she says of the social media platform. "I like to think of it as a kind of art gallery for my thoughts, my dreams, my wishes, my state of mind. Can't ignore social media."
Madonna defends Tidal
Madonna, who co-owns Tidal with Jay Z, Beyonce and others, says it's just the beginning for the streaming service that's had some troubles since its launch in March.
"It's just the beginning, so we're working out a lot of kinks and hopefully we're going to build something unique and amazing that's going to attract a lot of people," the 56-year-old singer said in a recent interview.
Tidal, which offers a basic subscription for $10 and a high-quality audio one for $20, hasn't made a splash like its announcement did a few months ago, when Rihanna, Kanye West, Daft Punk, Nicki Minaj, Jack White and others stood onstage in solidarity along with Madonna, Beyonce and Jay Z.
Since then, Tidal announced a family plan and discount for students. The company also lost its interim CEO last month.
"It's important that people understand we didn't create Tidal, we didn't put this together, we didn't all join forces because we're broke and we want more money. The idea is we want to support other artists and we want people to understand this is our heart, this is our work, and we want people to recognize that and we want other artists to have a chance," Madonna said.
"We live in a society now where everybody just expects everything to be for free, but you don't get a house for free; you have to pay somebody to build it," she added.
Madonna feels like Picasso
Madonna thinks artists deep into their careers should stop if they don't have anything more to say. But at 56, the singer says she still has things to talk about, and in short, she feels like Pablo Picasso.
"I like to compare myself to other kinds of artists like Picasso. He kept painting and painting until the day he died. Why? Because I guess he felt inspired to do so," she said. "Life inspired him, so he had to keep expressing himself, and that's how I feel."
Madonna released her self-titled debut album in 1983, and her latest album, "Rebel Heart," earlier this year. She said the key to sticking around is her continual desire to inspire others.
"I don't think there's a time, a date, an expiration date for being creative," she said. "I think you go until you don't have any more to say."
The pop icon will launch her Rebel Heart Tour on Sept. 9 in Montreal. The tour includes more than 60 shows across North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.
"The theme I really truly explore in this show more than anything is love and romance," she said in a phone interview from her home in New York City last week. "I want people to walk out like they're feeling inspired and like they've seen something they've never seen before (and) felt something they've never felt before."
Comedian Amy Schumer, whose new movie "Trainwreck" opened impressively at No. 2 with $30.2 million last weekend, will open for three Madonna shows in New York.
"She's a role model for women, and I am too, and I think it's a good match," said Madonna, who added that the idea to bring Schumer on board came from the singer's management team. "I love her and … I just thought, 'That's interesting.' (I'll) try something new and different rather than the usual run-of-the-mill — have a band, have a DJ. It's definitely a new thing. I hope it works — fingers crossed."
Madonna says picking the set list for her upcoming tour has been hard, mainly because she wants to sing her newest songs but also satisfy her longtime, die-hard fans.
"I realize I have 32 years of other songs, so I have to pick and choose. I sit there for weeks and weeks and weeks trying to figure out which of my old catalogue I want to do," she said. "It's a puzzle that we have to put together 'cause thematically the songs — the old and the new — they have to go together; sonically they have to go together."
She's even picky about the costumes onstage.
"What people wear, from their footwear to the buttons on their jacket, is all very important to me," she said.

Madonna in Cosmopolitan – Article Preview
On longevity in her career: "Popularity comes and goes. You need to know who you are, what you stand for, and why you're here."
On sexuality and ageism: "Don't be fooled, not much has changed – certainly not for women. We still live in a very sexist society that wants to limit people. Since I started, I've had people giving me a hard time because they didn't think you could be sexual or have sexuality or sensuality in your work and be intelligent at the same time. For me, the fight has never ended."
On collaborating with Kanye West on her album Rebel Heart: "It's a little bit of a bullfight, but we take turns. He knows that he's walking into a room with a person with a strong point of view, and I do too. I listen to what he has to say, take it in, and he listens to what I say and takes it in. We didn't agree on everything, but he has good ideas."
On internet haters: "You can hide behind your computer or your phone and say whatever you want – you're not known. Could you say it to my face? Would you say it to my face? I doubt it."

Outtakes from Madonna's US Weekly Interview
Nothing's better than more, more, more! Leave it to Madonna to exceed Us Weekly's request for 25 Things You Don't Me. Speaking with Us' Entertainment Director Ian Drew recently, the pop legend, 56, sounded off on everything from her goal to meet President Obama (and Drake!), her disdain for fur bikinis, escargot, and her home state of Michigan in the much talked-about, published version of "25 Things."
But that's not all she had to say. In these outtakes from our exclusive chat with the legendary "Ghosttown" singer, Madonna muses on her family, filming Evita, the pitfalls of fame and who she might owe an apology to, among other topics. Read on!
US WEEKLY: In the spirit of rebel hearts, what was your ultimate "rebel" moment?
MADONNA: The ultimate moment where I most felt like a rebel was in St. Petersburg, Russia [in 2012 during the MDNA Tour] when I was told they were going to arrest anyone who was openly or obviously gay and they came to my shows and I spoke out against the government. Eighty-seven people were arrested and I was fined like $1 million. They dropped the lawsuit, though. When I stood up for Pussy Riot was around the same time, but there have been a lot of those moments. I also think about when I was in Toronto and they said if I simulated masturbation during one of my shows [during the Blonde Ambition Tour in 1990] they would have me arrested and I was like, 'F–k you! I'm doing it anyway. So arrest me.' They didn't in the end. Lots of those. Then there's the Vatican when they said they would have me…you know, whatever! It goes on and on….
US: Love the track on the album "Unapologetic Bitch" — so, who's the biggest unapologetic bitch of them all?
M: Kanye West is the biggest unapologetic bitch besides me. read more →

Edge Interview with Madonna
It's been one hell of a week for Madonna. More than three decades into her phenomenally successful, exceptionally prolific music career, the undisputed Queen of Pop and Dance Anthem Enchantress officially released her 13th studio album, "Rebel Heart," to critically acclaimed reviews.
Ticket sales launched for her next concert series, presumably entitled "The Rebel Heart Tour," which is scheduled to kick off in Miami on August 29 and will continue worldwide through at least early 2016. This of course also means the Marketing Girl has embarked on one of her legendarily calculated full-court-press media tours, which, naturally and luckily, included several gay publications.
EDGE witnessed the media mayhem that only the Material Girl can create firsthand last Monday night when Madonna sat down with select members of the gay press at the Midtown Manhattan offices of her record label, Interscope.
The album is arguably Madonna's best effort in years. From the first single's deep-house, gospel-infused empowerment anthem, "Living For Love" (her record 44th number-one hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart) to moody and mature ballads like "Devil Pray" and "Joan of Arc," the hauntingly redemptive "Ghosttown" (the likely next single), and just about every other genre in between, the album fully embraces its diversity.
Among the many standouts in the epic 19-song set (just 14 are featured on the standard album) are the ridiculously over-the-top "Holy Water" ("Whenever I write about sex, I always do it tongue-in-cheek," she recently told Rolling Stone. "[This song] is obviously meant to be funny.") and the girl-done-been-wronged track "HeartBreakCity." And then there's the deluxe album's fierce finale, the Avicii-produced, rock-tinged title track "Rebel Heart" (oddly not included on the standard album). read more →

Gambling firm Tabcorp Holdings says 20 per cent of its online wagering turnover is being placed through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Tabcorp on Thursday reported a fall in net profit to $340 million in the year to June 30, 2012, from $534.8 million in the 2010/11 financial year, largely as the result of the demerger of its casinos business in 2011.
But, based on continuing operations, profit was 12.7 per cent higher than the $301.6 million recorded in 2011/12, due to underlying earnings growth and lower interest expenses following the casinos demerger.
Tabcorp chief executive David Attenborough said Tabcorp's continuing businesses had started 2012/13 with good momentum, and they would benefit from a number of valuable growth opportunities, such as the new Victorian Keno business and Tabcorp Gaming Solutions, which will help clubs and pubs manage their poker machine operations.
In 2011/12, Tabcorp's online wagering operations generated $2.16 billion in turnover, growing by 14.5 per cent compared to the prior year.
Betting turnover via call centres was down 6.8 per cent, and on-course betting was down 6.3 per cent.
Mr Attenborough said online growth was a natural progression as customers migrated away from using traditional call centres.
On-course betting was falling despite good attendances at race meetings because many punters preferred to watch and bet on races with their friends at their local TAB outlet.
"Over 20 per cent of online turnover is now being placed through mobile devices," Mr Attenborough said.
He said betting via mobile phone was being embraced by customers of all description.
Mr Attenborough said Tabcorp was now streaming vision of thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing via iPads and iPhones.
He said Tabcorp's "multi-channel" strategy for its wagering business - encompassing TAB outlets, online and mobile - and delivering both fixed odds and totalisator products was resonating with customers.
Fixed odds revenues were the highlight, growing by 41.5 per cent to $321.4 million.
Totalisator revenues continued to decline as the market shifted to fixed odds betting.
The animated racing game, Trackside, also grew strongly, with revenue rising 65.6 per cent to $82.3 million, driven by its expansion in NSW and continued growth in Victoria.
Mr Attenborough also said that despite the high visibility of the Olympics, betting turnover on the event in Australia was never great because of time differences between the host country and Australia.
However, the Olympics was an opportunity to advertise and attract new customers.
Mr Attenborough said that on a financial and operational front, 2011/12 was a successful year for Tabcorp, with earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) from continuing operations growing by 5.2 per cent to $591.7 million amid challenging market conditions.
Earnings were boosted by 10 per cent growth at Tabcorp's wagering operations, the largest of the group's four core business arms.
Earnings from its media and international businesses were up 8.1 per cent, while gaming rose 1.1 per cent.
However, earnings from the Keno business dipped 1.0 per cent due to start-up costs associated with the launch of the new Victorian operations.

Strategically, the group will be responsible for developing a mental health research strategy for the University of Exeter Medical School.
Mental Health Research Group
The Mental Health Research Group is led by Professor Christopher Dickens, who joined us in late summer 2011.
The group met towards the end of 2011 to revise its Terms of Reference and agreed the purpose of the group will be:-
- To support and promote the academic activities of members of the group.
- To engage with other partner organisations relevant to mental health research. Partner organisations to include academic, health and social care, and voluntary and private sector organisations.
- The group will serve strategic, pastoral and educational functions.
Strategically, the group will be responsible for developing a mental health research strategy built around existing strengths, and will link with regional partners to develop a wider mental health strategy for the South West.
Pastorally, the group will provide peer support to its members on issues such as grant writing, preparation of papers, career development, REF etc.
Educationally, the group will host regular events to promote mental health research, and will offer the opportunity for researchers of all grades to present their work and receive constructive feedback. These meetings will be in the form of regular monthly seminars and will be open to all interested parties, including the wider Universities of Exeter and Plymouth and NHS partners, but will be led by academic members of the MH research group.
Each year there will be 4 "high profile" seminars, where leaders in mental health research will be invited to speak about the latest developments in their field. The format is to be decided and may remain flexible, but the purpose of these meetings will be to engage a broader audience, to showcase related work being conducted by our own researchers and to get world-class feedback from the invited guests. These are likely to be half-day events.
Please see details of our Seminar Series listed in the upcoming events section.

D. mexicanus, and indeed most fossorial caecilians, are "sit and wait" predators. When they approach prey, they do so very slowly, and they do not pursue fleeing prey. They capture prey with their powerful jaws. Most caecilian prey is elongate, and is thinner than the caecilian itself. Earthworms are a very common prey item, and there is a population in Guatemala found to feed exclusively on earthworms.
Normally, D. mexicanus and most other caecilians feed via a static pressure system. The animal captures and crushes prey with its powerful jaw, and then swallows the prey whole. Ingestion is a fairly continuous process alternating between biting and swallowing motions. However, when capturing prey while partially emerged from its burrow, D. mexicanus has been observed spinning back into the burrow in a corkscrew, and shearing the prey against the sides of the burrow.

Made in Michigan, Making It Big in ManhattanWertlieb thriving in elevated role with Hearst TV—and NBC 12/03/2012 12:01:00 AM Eastern
Executive VP, Hearst TV
B.A., Communications and Political Science, University of Michigan, 1986
Employment Highlights:
Research analyst, Katz Communications, 1986-89
Account executive, Katz, 1989-93
National sales manager, WCVB Boston, 1993-98
Local sales manager, WCVB, 1998-99
General sales manager, WBAL Baltimore, 1999- 2005
President/GM, WBAL, 2005-11
Current title since 2011
b. Aug. 9, 1964; wife, Kathy; children Emily, 18; Blake, 15; Caroline, 12. Dogs Annie and Bo; cat Margaret.
Overseeing a massive station group, Jordan
Wertlieb spends much of his time flying into the
Hearst Television markets, meeting with staffers
and breaking bread with station managers. He's not particularly fussy about where
they take him to eat—it can even be a
food stand—but Wertlieb has one vital
"It has to be a locally
owned business,"
Wertlieb says as he recalls
delectable fried
chicken out in Okarche,
Okla., and unforgettable
barbecue down in
Winston-Salem, N.C.
"I think local is fun.
It's fun to see what gets
people excited."
While he moved to
a corporate role almost
two years ago, and an
office with the Manhattan skyline glimmering
outside his 39th floor window,
Wertlieb will never lose his taste for local
television's connection to the community.
Recent news events such as Election Day
and Superstorm Sandy have only reinforced
his belief that local broadcast plays
a vital role in the nation's well being.
"Its demise has been so overly reported,"
Wertlieb says. "It's just amazing
how television has reinvented and
reinvigorated itself after people have
written it off."
Wertlieb determined his career path
as a teen. His high school in the New
York suburbs had a television station,
where he learned all aspects of the craft.
Coupled with indelible memories of major
news events, such as John Lennon's
murder, Wertlieb left high school with a
clear picture of his future.
At the University of Michigan, he was program director at the school radio
station and did play-by-play for several
sports, including Michigan's famed football
program. While
Wertlieb has the size of
a Wolverines lineman,
his athleticism wasn't
quite Big-Ten caliber.
"At Michigan, you have
to be big and fast," he
says with a laugh.
But Wertlieb wholeheartedly
bought into
the school's code of
honor—that a "Michigan
Man" was one of
integrity. The Michigan
influence is all over
the Wertlieb home; his wife, Kathy, also
graduated from Michigan, and the dogs
are named Annie, as in Arbor, and Bo,
as in Schembechler. ("Do not speak ill
of Michigan in his presence!" warns a
Hearst TV colleague.)
Wertlieb started with Hearst TV in
1993, selling for WCVB Boston. His
managers at the time recall him as
whip-smart and driven. "With every
assignment, he raised the bar," says Bill
Fine, president and general manager at
WCVB. "He always targeted bigger and
better things."
Wertlieb moved on to general sales
manager at WBAL Baltimore and was
promoted to general manager in 2005.
His stellar listening skills and infectious
energy, say WBAL vets, not to mention
signature partnerships he ironed
out with the Baltimore Ravens and the
Maryland Lottery, furthered WBAL's
elite status in Baltimore.
One fond, if chilly, Maryland memory
for Wertlieb is plunging into the frigid
Chesapeake to raise money for the Special
Olympics—an annual event, sponsored
by WBAL and its sister radio stations,
that took off to the point where
Baltimore luminaries, including Ravens
quarterback Joe Flacco, Governor Martin
O'Malley and Wertlieb, took the plunge.
After he'd promoted Wertlieb to executive
vice president, David Barrett,
Hearst TV president and CEO, suggested
an official WBAL handoff—with Wertlieb
and incoming general manager Dan
Joerres jumping in together. "I came out
as the old general manager, and he came
out as the new one," Wertlieb says.
Barrett believes he has a rising star in
his group chief. "I think Jordan is the best
and brightest next-generation television
executive in our industry," Barrett says.
"He leads, he inspires and he challenges.
He has that precious management gift to
help others be better and succeed."
Like his boss, Wertlieb is immersed
in industry leadership roles, including
chairman of the influential NBC affiliates
board and director on the NAB board.
Watching the measured manner in
which local New York-area broadcasters
reported on Sandy—as if he needed a
reminder of that frightful day, his office
offers an unhindered view of the stricken
crane that hovered ominously over 57th
Street during the storm—gave Wertlieb
yet another reminder for why he believes
it's an optimal time to be in broadcasting.
"I think the business has recently
been underestimated and maybe even
underappreciated, but it keeps resurfacing,"
Wertlieb says. "People keep coming
back and saying, that's why I love my local
television station. To me, television is
cool again."

Skip to comments.Huntsville reporter Shea Allen fired from WAAY-31 for blogging about working braless...
Posted on 07/30/2013 6:14:52 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper
A reporter at a Huntsville television station has been fired for what she said was a humorous look at her job on her personal blog.
Shea Allen, a special investigations reporter at WAAY-TV Channel 31, told The Huntsville Times/al.com today that the blog post - in which, among other things, she claimed to have "gone bra-less" during on-air appearances - has drawn national attention.
(Excerpt) Read more at blog.al.com ...
May as well post her picture.
So....NOT GUILTY!!!
In keeping with the "rules". Thanks.
This is a problem why ??
As an arbiter of work place disputes, I need to be there when she works braless and physically check this out. I, ahem, work many jobs for free.
I can understand her bosses not being happy with her napping on company time but I think firing her was probably a little extreme.
I find sum ting wong about this story!
Does not rise to the level of the Youngstown, Ohio anchorette who took a Florida vacation, got rip-snorting drunk, entered a wet t-shirt contest which had her eventually stripping down to her panties, which ended up in one of those Girls Gone Wild videos.
She was also fired. Yet today she works in Cleveland, a much larger market. I suspect that is what awaits Miss Allen as well.
Doesn't seem to match that claim of:
"I do not want to be a joke," Allen said.
I suspect she will be part of a lot of jokes from this point.
From her blog:
I'm frightened of old people and I refuse to do stories involving them or the places they reside.
If you ramble and I deem you unnecessary for my story, I'll stop recording but let you think otherwise.
probably got her into trouble as much as anything else. As a reporter, she needs to understand that she has a 24/7 job. In the same way that teachers really never are out of the spotlight, the public has certain expectations of reporters. Fair? Maybe not, but that's the rules of the game, and if you want to play, you stick to them.
Number six isn't good...some of the few remaining viewers of local tv news are old people.
Another victim of the long-lost American sense of humor?
Don't watch Channel 31 News. They seem rather Bush League to me.
IMO that list is more damaging than whether she may or may not have worn a bra.
Indicates a severe lack of mental and emotional stability.
And a need to share that mess with others. Not someone interested in having a business wants to keep on staff.
Some one should keep that list and show it to her in 40~50 years.
Not Guilty!
Second thread I've read this morning that touches on a woman's breasts.
May we hope for more on this lovely topic?
"I believe that as a journalist, I should be a watchdog. I should be a protector of people's rights. I never got into this to be the pretty girl on TV. I got into this because...I felt like I was making a difference...I fight for people's rights to have freedom of expression. That's supposed to be what a journalist does. "
Another Crusader Rabbit Journalist. A cute one, but it wouldn't be prudent to believe anything she says on TV.
She does put one in mind of a young Lauren Hutton.
Didn't notice that, I was maintaining eye-to-bust contact.
It is sort of like Crusader Rabbit.
Maybe. Though I read it like "I'm important! No really! I am! Listen to meeee!". Figure that someone who works in front of a camera for a living has got to have at least a touch of narcissism.
what else is HDTV for?
I'm a sucker for great chompers...
No sane man would debate your point.
So she slept on the job, exposed her station to embarrassing "nip slips" and (deliberately) set up potential "wardrobe malfunctions" on camera, stole mail (from others at work?), and manipulated her interviews to make HER look good and demean the people she was taping/recording .....
Then wrote it all down in public.
And the station doesn't have the right to fire her?
Maybe...I was thinking the same...
But also thinking that personal internet blogs and drawing attention to oneself is never a good idea. Sooner or later airing all your laundry in public will bite you. The younger generation does not grasp that.
Maybe her ratings weren't that hot......it has been my experience that if you are making the company a lot of money they will find a way to keep you on!!!
Firing her was too much, she just needs a good spanking.
I suspect she stole mail from those she was waiting to interview, but otherwise I agree. She is very cute (rare for liberals) but not at all a nice woman. I imagine her boss was grateful to have so public an excuse.
I don't think her going bra-less had anything to do with getting fired. Admitting to stealing mail would be a key issue though.
So is there that much empty space in Lauren's as well?
Is it just my eye sight or does her neckline seem strange in the left of the picture. Just the way she posed during shots or a new fashion expression? She is at least covering her arms with sleeves...unlike some we often see.
No.10 is a federal crime and can get you hard time at Uncle Sam's Grey bar hotel.
I kid you not.
She's sooo not guilty!!
I see she's "horny" as well
"She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye...."
Indeed. (Somebody has to post this - apologies to MP's Sir Galahad)
DINGO: Oh, wicked, bad, naughty, evil Zoot! Oh, she is a naughty person, and she must pay the penalty -- and here in Castle Anthrax, we have but one punishment for setting alight the grail-shaped beacon. You must tie her down on a bed and spank her!
GIRLS: A spanking! A spanking!
DINGO: You must spank her well. And after you have spanked her, you may deal with her as you like. And then, spank me.
VARIOUS GIRLS: And spank me! And me! And me!
DINGO: Yes, yes, you must give us all a good spanking!
GIRLS: A spanking! A spanking!
Prudence suggest that I should stop here.
Brave knight, who is this Prudence thou speakest of? ;-)
I KNEW that was coming, but I was only on my second cuppa and couldn't think of another way to say it.
I have always attempted to touch on these topics. I am a touchy-feely type of guy.
Looks like the picture link has now changed.
Nobody said they didn't have the Right, the question is WHY? The other networks are lying, making up news and outright instigating crap, so she wrote something on Tweeter, Twitter or Face F—k and has nice boobs. Why fire her?
"Pokies" (not unrelated to "perkies")
Also known as "nippin' out" & known to occur whenever it's nippy.
When they hanged Tojo as a war criminal, someone observed "There's a little nip in the air this morning".

Sweltering weather ignites sales of made-for-summer cosmetics
Sales of made-for-summer cosmetics such as sunscreen have been red hot lately thanks to the heat wave and, on a much smaller scale, nanotechnology. Shiseido Co., the nation's leading cosmetics maker, saw sales of its Anessa brand anti-suntan products jump 45 percent in July from a year earlier. Anessa sunscreen lotions, the brand's mainstay products, put up their best sales figures since the brand was launched in 1992, officials said.

As we have indicated in our earlier work, understanding multidimensional concepts, including stress, requires a multimethod assessment so that a more complete picture of cognition and cognitive state can be revealed (Oron-Gilad et al., 2003) viagra female models. Neuroscience provides another vista into understanding stress and cognition that complements psychological evidence, from this perspective. Whichever position is taken, one must still base neuroergonomic principles on sound theoretical models of psychological and neurological function.

Commonalities and Differences between Individuals Neuroergonomics is a logical extension of the critical need for stress researchers to consider individual variation in stress response.
Because stress response varies as a function of task demand and the physical, social, and organizational context, it is also likely that neuroergonomic stress profiles will vary between and within individuals.
Some women viagra female models report a decline in sexual activity associated with menopause (Pearce et al. One of the major features of androgen deficiency is hypothesized to be loss of libido (Davis 1998. 1986).
Many factors may account for this decrease, including concomitant aging and decreased sexual ability in the partner (Coop 1981) as well as sociocultural expectations, psychologic distress associated with the symbolic meaning of menopause (Rinehart and Schiff 1985), and discomfort with menopausal symptoms (Bachmann et al. Although it is doubtful that estrogen has a direct effect on libido (Pearce et al, estrogen replacement therapy may help alleviate the physical symptoms of menopause and thus contribute to an increase in coital frequency. Recent evidence suggests that androgens decline gradually with age and that the symptoms of androgen deficiency may develop insidiously.

As CNN report, http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/03/12/shaikh.reward/index.html an Egyptian Al-Qaeda foot soldier is being payed $27million for ratting out Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (one of the top guys in Al-Qaeda) last month. And it infuriates me even more was that not only did he want his family out with him but $2million travel expenses to move them all AND he is moving to the UK!
Well, firstly IMHO he should have been executed once every ounce of information was squeezed out of him, and IF they feel my suggestion is too brutal then surely let him get off by commuting his sentence to life in prison - NOT let him AND his damn family come to the UK and breed their scum here & give them the chance the reorganise & regroup!!!!! Why is the US giving these terrorists money? Innocent taxpayers' money, money from victims' families that directly suffered as a result of terrorist acts....I dont understand this strategy when it comes to terrorists who are wanted for acts of terror that affect people around the globe. Now, I can see how it may seem nice that the US are paying to get these people off the streets for the whole world but they seem happy to pay other terrorists to do so, that just doesnt sound right to me....!

Cassandra Smith at Sky High Gallery
One of the things that's hard not to miss about artist Cassandra Smith is the way she gravitates toward what are often considered decidedly male things. From animal pelts, nautical rope, axes, deer antlers and taxidermied game, she is at home with the raw materials of man caves everywhere.
But Smith imposes pretty paints, sequins and a design sensibility to transform these found objects into something other than what they were. Through direct application of color and pattern, she creates a tension between natural and organic forms and hard-edged geometries. She alters her materials while honoring the qualities that drew her to them in the first place, she says in her artist statement. »Read Full Blog Post
Phoenix and Grouplove rock, alt-J and Bastille fumble at the Rave
It took seven years for French alternative band Phoenix to return to the Rave Thursday, so fans weren't going to let 'em get away so easily.
When the band played signature "1901" near the end of a 65-minute headlining set at a sold-out Eagles Ballroom, frontman Thomas Mars began performing at the edge of the stage and embracing outstretched hands before him. But those hands got greedy; Mars frequently seemed to lose his balance as he was pulled forward. Someone even tousled his bowl cut. »Read Full Article

'Blue' brings heat to formulaic French relationship drama
The emperor has no clothes, and neither do the characters in the French-language lesbian drama "Blue Is the Warmest Color."
It gained notoriety at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or, for scenes of sex and nudity that would be considered graphic and explicit regardless of the gender or sexual preferences of the characters, though lesbian coming-of-age films are rare enough to create additional interest in it. »Read Full Article

This article will be incomplete if it does not mention some of the greatest players in NBA history. Kareem Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan feature. The icons in respective teams always ensured that the team went home with a title and their fans jazzed.
Game 6. Magic goes from rookie to champion
This was one of the most electrifying finals in the year 1980. The game entered the list of the most significant games in the history because of the following reasons;
• The phenomenon Magic Johnson was playing the center position because the mighty Abdul Kareem Jabbar had an ankle injury.
• Johnson showed his charms in that final by scoring 42 points and 15 rebounds within minutes. Moreover, he gave seven assists to his colleagues which guaranteed Lakers a title in game 6.
• The Lakers recorded a win with unexpected 123-107 against their opponents.
Game 1, 1992 Finals: The shrug featuring Michael Jordan
In the 1992 finals, it was time for the legend Michael Jordan to live up to this title. I reckon that this game got in the NBA history books because of some of the unique skills that portrayed in the pitch by Jordan. People recall the finals because:
• Michael Jordan catapulted his team to stardom by scoring six three-pointers as well as 35points before the first break.
• He also managed to put in 57-23 within the second quarter forcing everyone to give the best reaction ever (the shrug) in the NBA history.
• Chicago Bulls hammered their opponents mercilessly.
Game 6, 2013 Finals: 2013 finals Lebron's legacy
In the game six finals of 2013, all the LeBron's fans were full of expectations that he will give them a reason to jump and celebrate in joy after he shows his prowess in the basketball pitch. Fortunately, his followers had the last laugh when he led his team to lift the title despite the odds. The game found its way to the NBA top games ever played because:
• Lebron led his team to win the title two minutes before the game was over after managing to score points that completely changed the fate for their opponents.
• It was apparent that San Antonio Spurs was winning since they had been leading all through the game before the Heat earned three points that boosted them to the top.
• The league officials had already concluded that San Antonio carried the title.
• Lebron bagged his second title.
Game 4 of the 2000 Finals was a Kobe vs. and Reggie duel
In game 4 of the year 2000, the fans of both the Lakers and Pacers were high on emotions and expectations that their team will carry the day to give them a reason toss the Champaign. This night remains in the NBA memories courtesy of the following reasons:
• The losers of the evening had taken a clear lead making their fans start celebrating early.
• Kobe Bryant, an excellent player for the Pacers, suffered an ankle injury and failed to score at least six points by halftime.
• In addition, the opponents were so strong for him to stay in front to defend and his teammate Shaquille was also in trouble and could not continue with the game.
• Miller managed to score 13 points forcing the game to go into overtime, and he continued to score further. However, Bryant proved that he deserved the glory when he hammered Lakers three clutch shots sending them home with a win the series.
Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, Reed's endurance pushed Knicks over Chamberlain.
Game 7 of 1970, Reeds showed his enormous skills in the match that ensured this final would remain in the memories of the basketball lovers. The game was great because:
• Reed managed to get a score despite having an injury. The score left his fans celebrating in surprise wondering how he pulled it.
• Wilt Chamberlain was receiving all the glory with his scores before Reeds came from the locker to shatter his dreams of winning.
• Reeds made his team be in the second position despite having an injury.
These games give you a reason as to why you should be a basketball fun.

Comments about Dark Crushed Handcreme:
This scent might not be for everyone but I think it's gorgeous. It's cool, clean with depth but not in the least bit heavy or cloying. Most importantly, it's a solid moisturizing hand cream made with minimal ingredients. A little goes a long way, absorbs quickly and isn't greasy.
Wishing there was a No. 32 Crushed candle, and body wash!

Lady Warriors top United
BELOIT – West Branch and United each entered Thursday night's mach-up with one loss each knowing that just one would leave that way in a spotlight non-conference contest that featured two of the area's premier girls teams.
After getting out to a fast start, West Branch weathered a gritty comeback attempt from the Lady Golden Eagles en route to a 58-45 victory.
"We knew we were going to be in for a battle," West Branch head coach Walt DeShields said. "United is a good team they are a senior dominated team and there's a reason that they were 8-1 coming in."
United dug themselves in a hole early and struggled with scoring the basketball throughout much of the first quarter. The Lady Golden Eagles first basket didn't come until the five-minute mark of the opening frame. United was only able muster just eight points in the first, three of which from Logan Gatchel's 3-pointer with just over two minutes left.
"Credit to them, they didn't quit," DeShields said. "I mean they were on the road at our place and they could've very easily given up and they didn't."
West Branch didn't take long to build up a double-digit lead. The Lady Warriors went on a 7-0 run from the opening tip before Sam Spitler ended the rally. West Branch kept shooting, as Brittany Bryte knocked down a trio of 3-pointers to stake the Lady Warriors out to a 19-8 advantage after one quarter.
"We liked our start first quarter, and we came out and we played pretty well," DeShields said. "Brittany (Bryte) stepped up and made some shots, Taryn Hahn and Amanda Linhart came through. We were able to get some other girls involved."
Bryte finished with 14 points on the evening. Amanda Linhart and Taryn Hahn each added 13.
The Lady Warriors continued to pile up points in the second, going on a 14-6 run over the first four minutes forcing United coach Sam Mathias to call a timeout.
United came out of the timeout and went on a 10-3 run to close out the half to cut their 19 point deficit to 12 heading into the locker room.
"They caused us some problems with our dribble drive and with getting some open looks but I think as the game wore on we showed some patience," DeShields said.
West Branch made use of a zone on the defensive end of the floor through much of the first half, forcing United to settle for more outside shots. Once the Eagles began working the ball inside the paint, the scoring began to pick up.
"We tried to do some different things on defense but they did a pretty good job of going to their strengths," DeShields said. "We didn't take that away and the girls aren't very happy about that performance defensively."
The Eagles and Lady Warriors played even through much of the third quarter, with both teams trading baskets. However, United was able to slowly and continuously chip away to work their deficit to nine points on a pair of free-throws from Courtney Hydrick.
"We really weren't playing like we had the lead, we were playing like we were behind and were taking a lot of quick shots," DeShields said.
As the fourth quarter unfolded, West Branch refocused on quality possessions with each trip down the floor. Though the Lady Warriors boast an 8-1 record, they are a young team featuring just two seniors and still have much to learn.
"I think we were just playing too fast with the lead," DeShields said. "We're young so we're still learning those lessons."
Emily Zehentbauer knocked down a straight-away 3-pointer to bring the score to 51-43, but that is as close as the Eagles would come as West Branch pulled away with an 8-2 run over the final minutes.
"I thought we got some good stops in the fourth quarter when we really needed them," DeShields said. "Not so much in the second or third, but in the fourth quarter we got them when we needed them and we were strong with the basketball when we needed to be."
Being strong with the basketball allowed West Branch to hold the edge in rebounding at 21-20. Pavin Heath pulled down six rebounds for West Branch. Hydrick also recorded six rebounds for the Lady Golden Eagles. Getting to the free-throw line wasn't much of a problem for West Branch, it was converting on the opportunities that became an achilles heel for the Lady Warriors. West Branch was just 8-for-20 from the charity stripe all night.
"We didn't shoot the ball from the free-throw line particularly well, and that is something our girls are upset," DeShields said. "They want to really work on because they know in bigger games as the season goes on that free throws will have a lot to do with it."
West Branch also won the jayvee game 37-25. Kaylee Manning led West Branch with 16 points while Lauren Martig poured in 13.
Morgan Smith and Sydney Moats each paced United with six points.
West Branch (8-1) hosts Minerva (8-1) Saturday.
United (8-2) travels to Beaver Local.
