Once over lightly
Minimum-wage earners, marijuana users and safe drivers came up winners in the Maryland General Assembly, which wrapped up its session this week. And environmentalists are scoring a win — among many defeats — in fending off 20 bills to take back earlier action to control stormwater runoff.
But seafood lovers lost their legislative fights.
Tuition just got cheaper at St. Mary's College in Maryland
College is more likely to impoverish the family than get the kid a job. At least that's what parents of this year's high school graduates say.
Anne Arundel Community College president Dawn Lindsay puts her money on empowering people
At Anne Arundel Community College, where two out of three students are women, women's history is a forward-heading story. Dawn Lindsay continues a two-decade tradition of female leadership, following Martha Smith, who served 18 years as college president.
A St. Patrick's Day visit from Southern Maryland to Southern Ireland
America goes green on St. Patrick's Day. From beer to dress to hair (and once upon a time, the Chicago River), green is the color of choice.
In putting on the green, we're not alone. St. Patrick's stomping grounds is doing its own greening, returning to its roots to recapture a way of life and an economy rising from the Old Sod.

Snowstorm memories from long ago bring a real tingle
Sending out school buses to pick up kids at the usual early hour on the slick morning of Friday, January 10, has Anne Arundel and Calvert school administrators
groveling and parents howling.
When I was a kid, we'd walk miles to school in the worst weather winter could throw at us.
The big three for this year's session
Now that we know what a polar vortex is, it's time to move onto the next lesson: polar opposites. On that subject, this year's General Assembly will teach you all you need to learn. On the big three environmental issues up for debate, one side's going to be talking from the South Pole, the other from the North. You'll be in the middle. To help bring you in from the cold, we offer this primer:
Like fast trains and beagles, you've got to move to catch the news
A new year runs like Acela Express. After the brief slowdown as it pulls into the station on January 1, it doesn't take long to get up to speed. Soon the days are zooming by at 70mph — with occasional rushes double that rate.
So we, too, had better be on the ball, or we'll be behind it.
The scoop on this year's General Assembly
For reliable sources, you can't do better than Thomas V. 'Mike' Miller. The 27-year president of the Maryland Senate knows the inside story of pretty much everything that's happened in Maryland politics for the last 40 years. Nor is his knowledge limited to the past. If anybody can predict the future, he can. He is — and he'll tell you so — the man who says what goes where and what goes nowhere in the Maryland Senate.
First-time candidate Mitchelle Stephenson hopes to put her people skills, knowledge of the issues and local contacts to work for voters
You're more likely to growl your revenge at a politician than kick a dog. Dogs have got a vast grassroots constituency rooting for them. Politicians not so much. On preferential polls, politicians rank below dog poop.
So why would you want such a job?
This election year, Bay Weekly is asking that question of politicians of various stripes. Among them: first timers, try-a-second-timers and winners turned losers trying again.

So Captain D's now has lighter fare. For those who don't know me, I am the "Captain D's Guy". The restaurant was founded the same year I was born, and I imprinted upon it at an early age when my mom would drop me off there for lunch while she shopped at the grocery store next door. Even now, I still eat there twice a week – sometimes even twice a day.
Flash forward ten years. My uncle Joe died of heart failure when I was in college – and my dad had quite the history of heart disease himself – so even though I'm adopted I figured it was time to start looking ahead to beat the family curse. I decided to focus on baby steps: going for a walk once a week, or ordering one less piece of fish for lunch, or switching from fries to rice. This was difficult, but over time the "baby steps" approach worked: I went from walking to running to the Peachtree, and from the three piece fried fish dinner to the two-piece broiled grill with veggies. It took another ten years, but I eventually DID manage to lose the college fat and bring the cholesterol (which never was bad, mind you) under control.
Fast forward to now. I'm developing a "your money is your voice" philosophy: I choose to shop at Whole Foods, and will soon choose to switch to a hybrid car, NOT because I'm a granola health food environmental nut but instead because I think there is value to healthy food choices and fuel efficient cars and I'm willing to put some price premium on doing things a better way. Hopefully if enough people think like me, businesses will notice, and will apply some of that crackerjack capitalist ingenuity to making me happy in a healthy, environmentally conscious way.
SO I was pleased to see that Captain D's has indeed adopted lighter fare. In addition to the broiled lunch special I've been eating all this time, they've added low calorie, low carb and premium grilled selections which target any kind of health diet you so choose. And you know what? Surprise, surprise – they're some of the tastiest meals on the menu. And this is speaking from someone who loves fried fish: it's great to have something that tastes good be good for you, for a change.
Go check it out.

I have just been reading the report - "Learning through life" - from the Inquiry into the Future for Lifelong Learning. Based on the belief that access to learning through life is a human right, Learning through life argues that our current system has failed to respond to the major demographic challenge of an aging society and to changes in employment patterns.
There is much in the report that librarians would agree with. Indeed there is much that libraries already deliver e.g.:
"In the face of massive economic change, people need to be able to adapt, not just through acquiring new professional skills, but by having the resilience to search out job opportunities and to face the uncertainties that recession brings." p13
The report proposes a new four stage model of learning: up to 25, 25-50, 50-75 and 75+. This emphasises the need to focus on learning not just at the compulsory and post-compulsory stage but also on three phases after that. The first two feature a changing mosaic of work, unemployment and learning time while the "Fourth Age" will grow in importance. To support this, the report proposes a shift from the current funding allocation of 86 :11: 2.5 : 0.5 to approximately 80 : 15 :4 : 1. This suggests a shifting of funding towards the area in which public libraries are operating.
The report makes the case for lifelong learning and its benefits for individuals, families, communities, regions and the nation. It proposes a citizens' curriculum based on four core capabilities: digital, health, financial and civic. The report further recommends that local authorities, as the key democratic agencies responsible for the welfare of local communities, should act as the key strategy-makers at local level, promoting lifelong learning. It also proposes that a partnership between a college and a public library should be the default model as the main axis for local collaboration as these two institutions bring together "… the formal and the informal…". The MLA has picked up on this and is working with the Inquiry on developing the proposal and will publish its conclusions early next year.
Learning through life is an important document and all librarians with a responsibility for strategic development need to study it. It does not give much space to the current or potential role of public libraries although this is covered in one of the supplementary papers How Museums, Libraries and Archives Contribute to Lifelong Learning: IFLL Sector paper 10 which is not yet published.
Specific references to libraries in report.
Chapter 6 Enabling demand for learning. Access to the digital world. p125
"We urge that libraries should be supported to play a full part in [a minimum level of digital inclusion], as places of universal access serving the community."
Chapter 8. Capabilities and capacity p179
"As with other capabilities, civic capability can be developed through both formal and informal modes of learning. Evidence submitted to the Inquiry on the part played by cultural institutions such as museums or libraries in fostering civic engagement illustrates this breadth. As one submission put it, '…the values of a democratic society rest on information, understanding and engagement. The public library service, a free, accessible and non-judgemental service reaching into the heart of every local community, espouses all those ideals'. [Submission to the enquiry from Derbyshire County Council] Several submissions stressed the role of libraries and museums in enabling marginal groups such as refugees or asylum-seekers to find their way into civic activity…"
Chapter 9 Organising locally: governance and institutions.p197
"Beyond favouring greater local autonomy as a general approach, what are our specific suggestions on how this might work? They are as follows…
· strongly promote the role of libraries, museums, galleries and sport facilities as learning institutions"
"Libraries already operate the People's Network, with 30,000 free or low-cost internet-enabled PCs, available in every public library, giving them a vital role in reducing digital exclusion. As we noted in Chapter 8, many of them actively seek to include marginal groups in a process of civic engagement. They are a crucial part of any system. We would like tosee stronger links between local libraries and schools and colleges, including the possibility of co-location (as we saw with one example under Building Schools for the Future)."
"We suggest that Local Learning exchanges (LLEs) be developed. The Exchanges would:…
· provide a physical venue for people to meet, explore opportunities, and run their own courses. This is the spirit of The Learning Revolution's recommendations on the use of premises. Fifty libraries have recently opened new community spaces."
"A governance system closer to the ground
· A partnership between a college and a library should be the default model for the foundation for local collaboration. Other models are possible, but these two institutions bring together the formal and the informal in ways which make it particularly appropriate."

In the past few weeks I decided to take off from Hof-Plauen Airport (HOQ) for the first time – it's closer than NUE, but I had never used it due to a very limited timetable. Between the 1980s and 2002, tour operators had used BAe 146 equipment on holiday flights to Spain, Greece and Tunisia but since 2002 the one and only destination has been Frankfurt - served by three daily turboprop flights, operated by Lufthansa partners (one daily flight Sat & Sun). Some years ago Augsburg Airways took over the route from Eurowings.
Round-trips HOQ-FRA-HOQ at LH's lowest 99 Euro fare are widely available, even on short notice. Since I could add a new airport, a new type (DHC-8-300) and a new carrier (Augsburg Airways) to my log, I took a day off and got ready for booking. However, spotting at FRA is limited due to the closure of the observation deck and therefore I checked options for a connection to another airport. Only domestic destinations were available at LH's basic fare and after a comparison between DUS, NUE and CGN I picked STR because I could add the missing BAe 146-300 (operated by Eurowings) to my log. Then I booked HOQ-STR-HOQ as a connection which saved 20 Euro in the end. Btw – the linear distance between Hof and Stuttgart is only 162 miles, while Hof and Frankfurt are 147 miles apart and Frankfurt and Stuttgart are 98.2 miles apart...
Online Check-in
Lufthansa offers a web check-in for all domestic and most European flights, available from 18:00 in the evening for all flights on the following day. I entered my data and soon realized it wasn't possible to get access to a seat map, all I could choose was window or aisle. In the end I got 8F (HOQ-FRA) and 6F (FRA-STR). LH could learn a lesson from jetBlue which offers to pick a seat at the time of booking.
Hof-Plauen Airport
Hof-Plauen is a tiny airport, equipped with a 1480 x 30 meter runway, located five kilometers southwest of Hof. Exactly 26,810 passengers were counted in 2005 which means HOQ is one of the smallest commercial "airports" in Germany. The one and only commercial route to Frankfurt is subsidized by the state of Bavaria (76,35 percent), the city of Hof and the counties of Hof and Wunsiedel, total costs: approximately 1,5 million Euro per year.
Due to the limited use of the airport, the infrastructure hasn't been a priority in the past years. Parts of the narrow road to the airport are in bad condition, and so is the asphalted ground around the terminal with its numerous potholes. I left my car at a private parking lot and bought a one-day ticket for 3,50 Euro – handwritten by the ladies at the sole check-in counter. Here's the terminal building:

New Seat
At the sole check-in counter I requested a new seat and got the desired last row. I went through security and took a seat in the gate area. Half an hour prior to departure I counted only ten other passengers at the small gate. Many empty seats left:
Expansion Plans
The expansion of the tiny (and loss-making) airport has been discussed many times since 1996, but there have never been any results. Though well booked, holiday flights operated by BAe 146 equipment weren't rated economic any longer in 2002. B737 or A320 operations are impossible and therefore it's hard to attract new carriers. Some years ago even the total closure was evaluated: In 2001, when BMW was seeking a large area for a new car factory, the city of Hof took part in the tender and offered to sell the airport ground. Though, BMW picked Leipzig in the end and the airport survived. In 2004, an American investor talked about spending some 100 million Euro, but there has never been only a letter of intent.
Several months ago the logistics company Medov (based on the British Virgin Islands) held out the prospect of investing more than 70 million Euro. That investment would have helped to realize the construction of a new 2500-meter runway – visible on that information board at the gate area:
According to the airport management, tour operators and Hamburg International had ensured to start operations from HOQ after a runway expansion. However, exactly on the day of my trip the North Bavarian Aviation Authority in Nuremberg rejected the plans, raising doubts about both demand an financing. Now the Bavarian state government wants to invest more than 30 million Euro to simply modernize the existing facilities and help to secure the existing route to Frankfurt.
DHC-8-300 D-BLEJ, which had been parked in a hangar at night, was ready for boarding at 06:00.
A friendly male flight attendant of Asian decent welcomed me on board and I took my seat in row 14. Typical window view on the DHC-8:
The hangar where the DHC-8 usually spends the night:
Cabin Comfort
The older style leather seats were quite comfortable…
…and I was surprised by the plenty of legroom:
Boarding was completed within a few minutes, some 30 passengers were booked on that early morning flight. We left the parking position at 06:17 and departed two minutes later after a short takeoff roll on runway 27:
The famous Autobahn A9 on the right:
The flight attendant started serving snacks and drinks in the mostly empty business class section (divided by little orange signs on top of two seats) and served drinks in Economy. He constantly offered an extra drink to all passengers who had only ordered one drink. I drank a good coffee and enjoyed the scenery:
Holding Pattern
Right after departure the captain had announced a flying time of 45 minutes but later explained we would have to spend more time than expected in the holding pattern. The maximum cruise altitude was 5000 meters. Thick clouds over Hesse:
After circling for a while we started the final descent. Frankfurt's skyline:
Seconds from touchdown at runway 25L:
Within a few minutes we taxied back to the regional aircraft ramp east of Terminal 2 (party visible on the very right on the picture above). A bus took us all the way to Terminal 1A which was very crowded at that time. The long bus tour was quite enjoyable and I got some interesting regs without using my binoculars – e.g. AtlasJet B757 TC-OGT with Eritrean titles, Yemenia A332 7O-ADP and Varig B763 PP-VTE.

I spent the remaining time at a window between gates A1 and A2. The flight to STR was apparently full, several passengers were waiting on standby. Boarding was started at 8:30 and a crowded bus took us back to the regional aircraft ramp, exactly on the same route. Again we passed many interesting aircraft, but some of them were too far away (e.g. China Eastern A332). Several Eurowings BAe 146 were parked there, most of them in new Lufthansa Regional colors, and we stopped next to D-AEWB – still wearing Eurowings colors. D-BLEJ was just leaving for another hop to Hof-Plauen:
Engine close-up:
Cabin Comfort
D-AEWB is still equipped with Eurowings' blue leather seats:
The seat pitch is generous, but shoulder and elbow space is almost non-existent. Six seats per row are simply too many in a BAe 146. A tall pilot flying on standby took the seat next to me and I felt cramped like never before on an aircraft.
We left the gate ten minutes late, taxied all the way to runway 18…
…and lifted off at 9:20 after a rather long takeoff roll:
Soon to be gone: the large Eurowings logo on the engines.
Only ten minutes after takeoff we already left the "cruising altitude" again. The time was just enough to serve some drinks in Business class.
Final approach:
We touched down exactly 22 minutes after takeoff and taxied to a remote position.
Stuttgart Spotting & Mini a.net-Meeting
First of all I went to the departure hall and checked in for the return flights. This time I got access to the seat map and chose window seats in the last rows on both the B735 and DH8. Then I walked to the Burger King restaurant and contacted a.net user Ndebele who had a day off, too. Ten minutes later Ndebele arrived and he took me to the other side of the airport for some spotting. An hour later I continued spotting at the observation deck where I got into conversation with an air traffic controller working at Berlin-Tegel. I logged 18 new regs, including XL Airways B763 G-VKNH.

Slight Delay
Half an hour prior to departure I passed security and went to gate 173. D-ABIO Wesel arrived a bit late from Frankfurt:
Cabin Comfort
Boarding was started shortly after the aircraft had arrived and a friendly crew welcomed the pax. LH's new short haul cabin is a real improvement over the old design. Pics from the database:

However, the seat pitch is not as generous as on the DHC-8 and the BAe 146. The flight was quite full, but I was lucky and the middle seat remained empty.
We left the gate at 15:07 and accelerated eleven minutes later. I was surprised by a powerful takeoff and a steep climb-out.
Now a question for the locals: What's that facility down there?
Again, the flight was too short for a drink service. Approach into FRA was started only 10-15 minutes after takeoff. Very clear view:
We touched down roughly at runway 25L 28 minutes after takeoff and taxied to a remote parking position opposite to Terminal 2. Funny occasion: While still on the taxiway the captain suddenly said on the loudspeaker: "Attention, ground wave ahead!" And indeed, some seconds later we "bumped" over that wave…

Back at Terminal 1A I drank some cups of tea at of of LH's self-service bars and spent the remaining time with spotting and reading. Always welcome: the good selection of free newspapers. Just like in the morning, gate A4 was used for the flight to HOQ. This time only some 15 people entered the bus which brought us back to the distant regional ramp. As expected, D-BLEJ was waiting again – currently only HOQ and London-City are served with DHC-8s from FRA and one aircraft is enough for the schedule. Daily weekday segments: HOQ-FRA-HOQ-FRA-LCY-FRA-HOQ-FRA-HOQ.
I took the same seat as in the morning, but this time the aisle seat remained empty. We taxied to runway 25L and I spotted a LH A300-600 preparing for takeoff at runway 25R:
After our takeoff the A300 was still rolling…
…and rolling…
…and finally lifting off:
This time two female flight attendants – one of them apparently a trainee – served drinks. Again, extra drinks were offered to every passenger. The flight was uneventful and 30 minutes after takeoff we started the approach to HOQ.
"Downtown" Hof with the city's train station in the middle:
Seconds from touchdown on runway 27:
This is D-PAUL – reminds me of a fire trainer.
If you want to enjoy a cool Franconian beer in the shadow of a real airport tower, don't hesitate to visit Hof! Note the benches on the grass, belonging to a small restaurant:
Final stop at the ramp at 18:38: The aircraft for the connecting flights have just arrived…
Only five minutes later I headed to the Autobahn and was glad about a truly successful and enjoyable "spotter mission".
Flying from Hof-Plauen is very convenient, no crowds, no hassle and very personal service. I'm quite disappointed that the expansion plan was rejected by the authorities, I would use the airport much more often if there were more options. Most importantly, the route to Frankfurt will remain and probably some more turboprop routes can be added after the airport's modernization.
Flying Augsburg Airways' DHC-8-300 is a pleasure: plenty of legroom, comfortable seats and friendly crews. The noise level is acceptable. In contrast, Eurowings' BAe 146s are awful due to the cramped 3-3 seating. LH's B737 is somewhere in the middle, but sufficient for short haul travel. For 99 Euro, LH's product is quite decent with free newspapers, drink service on board and free coffee and tea in the gate areas. And not to forget: a wide variety of aircraft types.
As usual, comments, opinions and questions welcome!
Best Regards,

Actually, I do use a lens cloth and lens cleaner… sometimes. When it's convenient. When I remember to carry it with me.
And I do put my glasses in a case… except at night, when I leave them on the night table where they collect dust and get scratched.
Okay, mea culpa. I'm a serial lens abuser. But I'm trying to go straight. Really.
I'm confessing to these optical misdemeanors because I want my lenses to last longer and because I want to call attention to a situation that I suspect is widespread. (Here's a shout out to Jodi Groh of Nanofilm, who has impressed upon me the importance of proper lens care.)
Despite our best intentions, it's easy to become lax about lens care, even for those of us in the optical business. How many patients leave your dispensary wearing new glasses and holding a lens care kit that ends up getting stashed in a dresser or desk drawer?
Perhaps when you send out patient reminder notices, you should also remind them to follow their lens care routine regularly. Point out that they need to protect the investment they've made in their eyewear. That's a message value-minded consumers will appreciate.
—Andrew Karp

Left for work yesterday after yelling at the boys and sending them to their rooms because of blatant defiance. No kisses. No hugs. No I Love You's. I felt guilty and hollow all day long, and just wanted to go home and hold them. I know it's part of the package - the guilt and discipline, but the phrase "this hurts me worse than it hurts you" never hit home so much. I don't know what to do with open defiance - how to handle it. Whether it's running across the parking lot at Lowe's while we're yelling at Simon to stop, or saying nasty things to their sister when we ask them to stop, or even sitting in their rooms in timeout and CONTINUING to say the things I have asked them not to say. I see red, I yell. HOW IN THE WORLD does one maintain their cool? Stay the adult? I would LOVE to know.

I love the Love & Logic parenting book. It really takes the yelling/screaming out of parenting and makes the good behavior be a decision the child makes and not something that is forced on him. Free will. It takes a while to work, but it works for us.

Okay, I think I need to check out the Love and Logic book too. Mine are generally pretty good, but they definitely have their moments. My favorite being the one where they LAUGH while you're disciplining them. That's what makes my blood boil. Oooh!

Dear Sir, I am a type 2 diabetic patient
Patient : Dear Sir, I am a diabetic-2 patient, I am 37 years old, having weight 68 KG. I am getting the dose of (Glimepiride and Metformin) daily one each tablet early morning before meal. This dose, I am getting since one year. I am doing my bodybuilding workout six days per weak since two years but I did not gaining muscles? Please suggest me how to get more healthy weight and muscles?
Symptoms: Not weight gaining
Doctor : Hello, Welcome to ATD. Thank you for the query. You may have lost weight because your blood sugar has been running high. This can cause much of the carbohydrate food that you eat to pass into your urine and not be absorbed into your body. Alternately, you may have been slim to begin with, and then as you got older your pancreas may not be making as much insulin, so you got diabetes. Regardless of the cause, once you have diabetes and are underweight, eating can be a challenge. Restricting carbohydrate foods that increase your blood sugar, also restricts calories, so you need to rely more on proteins and fats to get your needed calories. The first thing to do is to see your doctor, to find out if you need more diabetes medications, or a change in medications. The right diabetes medication can help you gain weight by improving absorption of sugar. Next step, look at what you are eating. It is best to spread your intake out into three small meals and three small snacks. This spreads out your carbohydrates and also means you will not feel so full at each meal. Here are a few simple ideas to boost calories: spread peanut butter on an apple or banana, to add protein slice up avocado and have it in sandwiches or salads add ¼ cup of skim milk powder to each cup of milk to double the protein add extra oil such as olive, canola, corn or soya oil, margarine, mayonnaise and salad dressings to recipes and foods such as mashed potatoes, rice or pasta, oatmeal, scrambled eggs or casseroles add chopped nuts or roasted sunflower seeds on top of yogurt or cereal add sliced or shredded cheese to soups and casseroles. In addition to boosting calories, it is important to rebuild lost muscles. To build muscle strength, a walk is good, and so is doing some weight lifting. Start with a small dumbbell weight (1-5 lbs).Choose a weight that you have a hard time lifting ten times. Start with doing ten bicep curls with each arm. Hold the weight in your hand with palm-up and slowly curl your arm up to your shoulder bending at the elbow. Slowly return to extended position and repeat with alternate arms. Hope this helps. Take care.

Vermont to face Stony Brook for title
BURLINGTON >> Ethan O'Day scored 19 points with seven rebounds and third-seeded Vermont beat No. 4 seed New Hampshire 63-56 in an America East tournament semifinal on Monday night.
The Catamounts (21-12) will face top-seeded Stony Brook (25-6), which cruised past Hartford in the other semifinal, on Saturday in the title game.
Vermont trailed early, but a 12-0 run midway through the first half — including consecutive 3-pointers by Ernie Duncan — helped the Catamounts to a 32-21 lead at intermission.
New Hampshire got the deficit down to five after a 3-pointer by Daniel Dion 3 1/2 minutes into the second half, but Vermont slowly pulled away. A pair of free throws by O'Day, then one more from Cam Ward, gave the Cats their largest lead of 19 with 7:45 to go.
Kurt Steidl scored 13 points for Vermont and Duncan finished with 11.
Tanner Leissner led New Hampshire (19-12) with 28 points and 10 rebounds, his fourth double-double in six games.
Stony Brook 80, Hartford 64
STONY BROOK, N.Y. >> Carson Puriefoy scored 22 points, Jameel Warney had 21 and top-seeded Stony Brook beat No. 7 seed Hartford 80-64 in an America East tournament semifinal on Monday night.
Puriefoy was 9 of 18 from the field with four 3-pointers and grabbed 10 rebounds. Warney was 7 of 13 with 13 boards.
It was tied at 31 late in the first half and Stony Brook took control from there. Lucas Woodhouse hit a 3-pointer to break the tie and the Seawolves led 36-31 at the break.
A six-point spurt early in the second half pushed the lead to 14, and an eight-point run a few minutes later all but sealed it.
Jalen Ross led Hartford (10-23) with 21 points with seven rebounds and Pancake Thomas added 18. The duo combined for nine of the Hawks' 12 3-pointers.

Notre Dame threatened to cut the feed to any network who provided coverage to any protests of Barack Obama's speech at the University's commencement ceremonies from earlier today, which utterly nails shut the faded notion that Notre Dame is a reasonable or reasonably directed organization.
From a few articles I've read, it's written that Notre Dame students — obviously being schooled in not being Christian but being obnoxiously suppressive by their weirdly abnormal academic environment — yelled "yes, we can, yes, we can, yes, we can" to silence other individuals making protests during Barack Obama's speech.
So the students at Notre Dame were both badly educated and Obama campaigners, a disgusting combination of product from any "Catholic university" which I strongly question in Notre Dame's case.
I can't say I find anything respectable today about Notre Dame University. In fact, as a Catholic, I am utterly ashamed that the place and the students who supported this spectacle defame the name of the Catholic Church as their brutish, dulled behavior has reflected this day.
Oh, and Joe Biden attended Communion today. All these pro-abortion "Catholics" are utterly shameful. What bothers me, equally, however, is why it is that Catholic Bishops and the Priests they supervise tolerate these malformed people in the Sacraments. I've never known any Priest who would tolerate persons such as that asking to receive Holy Communion and the big question today is why so many of them are doing so. The Barack Obama spectacle at Notre Dame was but the tip of the heretical iceberg among those "Catholics" who supported such, as with those students there who suppressed other students' protests of the event.
Obama wants to take you down, "to love" and accept his unstated support for inherent evil — not making waves seems to be Obama's latest "commandment," inorder to accept the "differences" without objection inorder to "get along." Pitiful. Weak and deceptive. Pitiful.
Worse, students and some faculty fell for him, many, apparently, tumbling easily.
God tells us many will be led astray but a few will be saved:
Bishop D'Arcy of Indiana Prays With Students Before Graduation, and,
Bishop Aquila addresses Obama and Notre Dame on Fox News from a May 15, 2008 broadcast, and…
Courage in leadership, here is one of the righteous from among Notre Dame's faculty (a delight among the dismal several others I heard from today and yesterday), father Wilson Miscamble:
Notre Dame History Professor speaks at campus rally, praises hard work of students
South Bend, Ind., May 17, 2009 / 04:07 pm (CNA).- Father Wilson Miscamble, a Holy Cross priest and History professor at Notre Dame spoke at a rally organized by ND Response today and praised the students and their firm support of life.
Fr. Miscamble began his address, provided by Pewsitter.com, by reflecting on the founding of the University of Notre Dame noting that the Holy Cross priests "aimed to serve Christ here. And they sought to evangelize in His name under the patronage of the Blessed Mother."
Fr. Miscamble noted that though the school "faced horrendous tribulations during its initial years," the priests never gave up. "Under God's providential care, our university did recover and grow. Father Sorin … his determined band … and the generations of Holy Cross religious and their lay collaborators who followed them built something special."
"These folk built Notre Dame into a distinctive place that nurtured its students' religious and moral development, as well as their intellectual lives. Notre Dame challenged them to serve God and neighbor. And, as it did so, it proudly proclaimed its Catholic identity and its loyal membership in a Church that was and is unafraid to speak of moral truths and foundational principles and beliefs," the priest continued.
"Now friends, jump ahead to today. The formal leadership of the University still proclaims its fidelity to this vision," Miscamble said, however, "The words have not been matched by deeds. Instead of fostering the moral development of its students Notre Dame's leaders have planted the damaging seeds of moral confusion."
He explained that by honoring President Obama, the administration has not only let its students down, but it has "betrayed the loyal and faith-filled alumni who rely on Notre Dame to stand firm on matters of fundamental Catholic teaching – and so to affirm the sanctity of life."
"The honor extended to Barack Obama says very loudly that support for practically unlimited access to abortion – and approval for the destruction of embryonic life to harvest stem cells – are not major problems for those charged with leading Notre Dame." The priest went on to quote Bishop John D'Arcy of the Diocese of South Bend who said, "Notre Dame chose 'prestige over truth.' How embarrassing for an institution dedicated to the pursuit of truth to settle for temporary attention over eternal honor."
Fr. Miscamble asked that his audience reflect on the Holy Cross religious who have served Notre Dame and the Church for ages. "In some ways, the task before us today is tougher than theirs. In those early days, the problems were clear – but so too was the mission.
"Now we are engaged in a more intellectual and spiritual struggle. Will we be true to the founding vision? Can we resist the subtle and not so subtle temptations to surrender our distinct religious identity –and conform to the reigning and rather barren secular paradigm of what a university should be?"
Though Obama's visit suggests that Notre Dame's leaders have "succumbed to this temptation," Fr. Miscamble said that "when we look back on these days, I have a sense that what will stand out is how a group of dedicated prolife students, wonderful alumni, and ordinary Catholics who cherish this place refused to acquiesce in the Administration's willingness to wink at its most fundamental values in exchange for the public relations coup that attends a presidential visit."
He continued: "The people who refuse to give up – and I speak especially of you students —have taken on the role of teachers here. While the administration and many of the faculty sold out easily for the photo-ops etc, you and some of your alumni sisters and brothers showed the benefits of your Notre Dame education. You held firm to the foundational principles of respect for life and for the dignity of every person. You are the ones who have understood what really matters. You refuse to just go along. You have made your voice heard and led the way to a better future."
"You represent the very best of Notre Dame. You – along with your good professors and faithful alums – are the ones who can help Notre Dame recover from this painful and self-inflicted wound. You will not find it easy, and you will have moments where you will be discouraged. But you must remember there is so much that is good at Notre Dame that you can never relent in your efforts to call this place to be its best and true self –proud of its Catholic identity and its loyal membership in the Church."
Fr. Miscamble drew his address to a close calling on the crowd to move forward. "Let us take our instruction from the Lord, in the words that the great champion of life, John Paul II, used at the outset of his papacy: BE NOT AFRAID. –Let us labor in this vineyard, so that Notre Dame might regain its true soul … be faithful in its mission as a Catholic University … and truly become the "powerful means for good" that Father Sorin dreamed about."

Ladiessss...run, don't walk because it's the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale event! In case you don't love shopping (why are you reading this blog, kidding...I love you...no really) then I'm here to tell you that you do not want to miss out on these amazing deals. Think Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Free People and more.
And just because I love ya...here's 21 items that I've been eyeballing in the last 24 hours. But you don't have to take it from me - give the sale a look-see!
* Check out today's link ups: Mix & Match Fashion, Penniless Socialite, Sincerely Jenna Marie, Living in Color!
In a cozy state of mind this morning. How about you? This is sweater weather folks...keep the cups of piping hot coffee coming! I've started putting together Christmas lists and hiding gifts. Full speed ahead but while you're here...let me share a few items that I am coveting heavily.
Husband - are you reading this? Take note!
Happy November! Can you believe? I am ready to deck the halls which is the antithesis of how I normally react to the last 60 days of the year. Who am I? Honestly, I am ready for the glitz and the glam because I love a good excuse to dress up so bring on the parties. Are you with me?
To me, jewelry is the accent piece to every outfit I select. Not a day goes by that I don't add earrings and rings, maybe even an occasional necklace to my daily uniform. A day without statement jewelry leaves me feeling totally naked. Something is off. Every outfit needs a touch of sparkle.
It's funny how Fall emerges and within 24 hours...it's like majorly over in Chicago. This weekend they are talking temps in the 40's. My lord I am not ready for this. I was really enjoying pumpkins but hey...bring on the velvet, right? My husband literally just called me to secure holiday outings with his family this morning and I am a little baffled by it all but I will tell what I am looking forward to...HOLIDAY SHOPPING.
Shall we?
It's getting spooooooky in here. How cute is this doorstep? I found it via a Blissful Nest - swooning over that outdoor rug, right? We are totally in the spirit and the house is decked out. The Halloween parties are commencing, the sweaters are coming out of the closet and the chocolate is being eaten in copious amounts. Whoops!
Like every day, you can always come to 101 things I love to support your shopping habit. Old habits die hard. <wink, wink> I will say this though...I will always find you a good deal and I am well researched. That's a promise! I am sure my husband is gritting his teeth reading this.
Well Happy Fall. Today really feels like Fall because we've had a major heat wave in these parts. Brutal.
But today, a gorgeous cool morning means I can reach for my cardis and boots again which I am totally okay with.
Mmmmmm Fall. So delicious and layered and vibrant. I may have a case of the FOMOs from Fashion Week but I am ready to embrace a new season. Not to be confused with pumpkin spice anything because that stuff is gross. Just gimme all the honey crisp apples, sweaters and bonfires and I am a happy camper...a stylish camper but happy!
What's the #1 thing on your Fall shopping wish list? Dying to know!
School begins tomorrow. How that happened I will never know but here we are...scrambling last minute for lunchmeat and folders. Ahhh, the glamorous life!
I'm a bit frenetic at the moment but I wanted to bring back the "love lists" as Fall always gives me a lustful eye towards online shopping
The sales are abundant this weekend - be on high alert. Today, for a change of pace, I am rounding up my favorite Bauble Bar items...you know the ones that are in heavy weekly rotation. Good news, too - the majority of them are on mega sale this weekend so I've linked them below. 75% off! You cannot beat that with a stick!

Sen. Thad Cochran names new Deputy Chief of Staff, Legislative leaders
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) today announced personnel changes, including the naming of Linda Good as Deputy Chief of Staff, and promoting Mary Martha Henson and Ty Mabry to be legislative director and deputy legislative director, respectively.
The staff shifts are the result of Cochran's current deputy chief of staff/legislative director, Adam Telle, being named majority clerk of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security. Telle replaces Kathy Kraninger, who accepted a position with the White House Office of Management and Budget.
"I have confidence in the experience and depth of knowledge that Linda, Mary Martha and Ty bring to my office and to my work for the people of Mississippi and our nation," Cochran said.
Good is currently Cochran's Administrative Director and Personal Assistant. She served in a similar capacity for U.S. Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.) before joining Cochran's staff in 2015. Prior to moving to the Senate, Good worked 20 years in various senior positions on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. From 2011-2015, Good was a senior staff member to Chairman Darrell Issa, working as chief clerk to the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Recent Tasting Notes
It has been a long while since I've really been interested in drinking green tea, anymore it only seems I do so when I'm eating Chinese or Japanese on the odd occasion I don't cook and decide to order in. This morning, however, I woke up with a craving for it so I pulled out one of the samples that came with my TeaVivre order.
I haven't tried this specific type of green tea before, but I really enjoyed it. It has a very strong vegetal flavor, but beyond that it is subtly sweet with slightly nutty undertones. As the tea cools the sweetness becomes more apparent and the vegetal flavor mellows out a bit.
This is such a wonderful green tea, I really do need to explore what others TeaVivre offers. Surprisingly, I've tried very few and I have been missing out.
Thank you so much to Angel at Teavivre for this wonderful sampler of oolongs! I love oolongs in the fall and winter, they are just so comforting.
This is my first experience with a gaiwan and I will definitely need more practice because I almost burnt my hand. I followed the websites steeping parameters (R, 25s,25,30,40,60,90,120,180)
The first 4 steeps were very floral and has milky aroma and mouthfeel. There is a natural sweetness.
The last 4 steeps lost a bit of sweetness and seemed a little more vegetal.
I also want to sample this with the western method so I know where I really stand with this.
Tea provided by Teavivre for review
I've been wanting to try the sample for quite some time now. Unfortunately I caught a cold and it impaired my tastebuds and I really couldn't taste anything. :(
With that out of the way, I'm ready to jump back into my daily gong fu tea sessions. Anyway, onto the tasting notes:
The first steep had a really nice balance of vegetal, sweet, and buttery characteristics. It's really smooth and nothing seemed bitter of off-putting.
Some nice spice/cinnamon came out during the third steep.
Onward down to the eighth steeps, it maintained a nice flavour that was true to the initial steep's aroma. It finishes off somewhat weak, but not so much that I only taste the water and not the tea.
Overall I'm impressed with how well it steeped, the balance between the flavours, and that I couldn't taste any bitterness or off-putting flavours. It never seemed too dry or overpowering either. The price is a bit steep, so I could see it as a nice gift. I think the flavours justify trying it out if you have a discerning palate for quality.
Steep parameters (as suggested by Teavivre)
85ml water in a gaiwan, sample (7g?), rinse and 8 steeps (30s, 50s, 70s, 90s, 120s, 120s, 150s, 180s)
This was a nice sweet, smooth, vaguely chocolatey cup! Had a little floral thing going on in the front too, always lovely when it's light like that. It's also fun to watch the balls unfurl and fall to the bottom of my glass teapot (also from Teavivre). Good morning treat. Resteeps ok for the most part too.
Thanks once more to Angel and Teavivre, and I apologize for taking so long to get to all of them! But I really enjoyed all of the samples I received and this one was no exception.
The dry leaf smells sweet and green with a good amount of floral. It lacks the milk candy creaminess I normally associate with a Milk Oolong, but it smells really good, regardless.
First Infusion (200F/2 min)
There was a surprising amount of creaminess, and a lovely buttery mouthfeel. The taste is delicate and very lightly orchid-floral, as well as that very classical green vegatal taste oolongs have. The ending is sweet and lingers.
Second Infusion (200F/2 min)
Very slightly creamier, more orchid in this cup with a smoother finish (that I didn't think possible!)
Third Infusion (205F/3 min)
The creaminess actually drops off here, and it becomes a more floral cup with hints of sweet hay and subtle fruits.
Fourth Infusion (205F/3 min)
The cup is primarily sweet, fruity and green at this point, with the type of butteriness I expect from some green tea, though the flavors are getting more delicate. This is also the first cup I've gotten any astringency from.
I would imagine I could get a fifth steeping out of this, but a sixth would be difficult. I think the leaves outlasted me today, though.
Overall, a very good oolong. Not as creamy as I've come to expect from milk oolongs, but good in it's own right, with sweet orchid and veggie notes.
For pictures:
Thanks Angel for this sample!
Sorry everyone that I kind of fell off the planet. I basically got into a school-induced rut. But here I am, with a new review for the tea I just received today and I'll be brewing in the precious little gaiwan that Teavivre also sent me.
The dry leaf smelled surprisingly fruity to me. I've only had one other dong ding and it was much more roasted smelling than this one. The leaves are rolled into large balls, maybe even a bit larger than what I'm used to seeing.
I managed to use the gaiwan without burning myself too badly! It was my first time using one and I'm surprised it was this simple. I think that the leaves are gorgeous when brewed in this fashion. I had been worried about using the wrong amount of leaves, but it turned out just like all the photos I've seen!
The aroma of the tea is very floral and green. I love lighter oolongs, so this is right up my ally. There is a very light roast to this as well. I enjoy that it is there, but not so upfront that it overpowers the other smells and flavors. There seems to be a lot of flavors in this cup. Sweet, green, floral, roast, and something else that is a bit elusive; pepper?
Either way, this is a pretty brilliant tea that I'm going to continue enjoying tonight.
Taiwan Osmanthus Oolong Tea (Flavored) has the dry scent of, as you can expect, osmanthus. Holy bells. That is some flower power right there. It's like sticking your nose into the center of a Peachy Ring; after one whiff, you want to brush the sugar off your nostrils. The steeped aroma is much more savory, with the peach hanging subtly overhead.
Our first infusion yields that odd tongue-sensation that you get when two divisions of the flavor spectrum are sandwiched together, in a space that just too close for comfort. Sweet and Savory are crammed into a tiny elevator, forced to squeeze up against each other, and neither one is happy about the situation–which leaves the drinker… Full review here: http://snooteablog.com/2013/10/15/snooty-tea-review-teavivre-round-3/
Another "Superfine" tea, Superfine Taiwan Ali Shan Oolong Tea, hides its fragrance very well when dry. It's like sniffing a clean table; you get nothing. Once steeped, you get some nice orangey flowers warming up your day, the delicately edible kind like marigolds and sunflowers. In fact, more than the petal part of the sunflower is the scent of sunflower seed. (If you've never had sunflower seed butter, go put it on your toast. Now.)
With the first infusion, its liquor the color of a watery Post-it, the sip is full of those sunflower seeds. But not just any seed… Full review here: http://snooteablog.com/2013/10/15/snooty-tea-review-teavivre-round-3/
The last of our "Superfine"s, the dry Superfine Taiwan Quing Xiang Dong Ding Oolong Tea keeps to itself, smell-wise. You get hints of possibili-teas; some petals, some mineral salt, some herbyness in the sage-y vein, but otherwise nada. In the cup, this steeps to an interesting effect: someone's been cooking veggies all day–zucchini, celery, and bok choy–but then decided to blast the room with Febreeze and the veggies came out on top.
Definitely the greenest of our oolongs so far in the first infusion, when you get down to the sip-'sperience. Meadow-green, hot-sun-on-wet-grass green, Fifty Shades of Green. With a similarly faint yellow liquor as the Taiwan High Mountain Oolong Tea, this stuff is tailor-made for… Full review here: http://snooteablog.com/2013/10/15/snooty-tea-review-teavivre-round-3/
The dry leaves of Taiwan High Mountain Oolong Tea put us right into floral mode. Something rosier than a jasmine, though–most oolongs just hit you with white flowers and call it a day. This one, however, has got a promise of peony. Maybe even actual camellia. Once steeped, the aroma really softens up to yield greener, veggie-er notes.
For the first infusion, don't be afraid of taking your time with it. Even if it's rapid-fire gong fu, a solid minute should do–any less and the taste is out of sight, still stuck in the high mountains from whence it came. That initial cup is as light as dancers' tulle. If you prefer growly, heavy-bodied oolongs, this sure isn't one of them. Its liquor just barely blushes with color, that pale shade of an open lime. Might as well give into the temp-tea-tion to… Full review here: http://snooteablog.com/2013/10/15/snooty-tea-review-teavivre-round-3/
Our Superfine Taiwan Moderately Roasted Dong Ding Oolong Tea, however, caters right to the mouth-pleasure of ethu-tea-asts who crave a heartier cup. Dry, the roasted leaves are nutty goodness in the bag. But since they're only moderately roasted, you still get the underlying vegetal base, so the resulting nut is a bright pistachio. Maybe even a Brazil nut or macadamia as well in there; soft-toned stuff to keep from overshadowing the garden leaves. Strangely, all the nuts disappear from the tea's scent once steeped.
The first infusion has… Full review here: http://snooteablog.com/2013/10/15/snooty-tea-review-teavivre-round-3/
The dry leaf smells so fresh, sweet & grassy! It's not often that a tea smells this fresh, especially when it's traveled across the ocean, but this one is so lovely.
Sipping… oh, this is really nice! I'm getting a bit of a honey combined with the nicest floral notes. I love how the flowers complement the sweetness of the cup instead of overwhelm everything. I don't taste a whole lot of vegetal notes that I detected in the dry leaf scent, but am enjoying the honey and flowers instead. This cup also lacks any astringency — everything is so smooth and sweet! Delicious!
Thanks to Teavivre for such a tasty tea!

A quick blog post this afternoon as I wait for my taxi on route to the airport – am leaving Cape Town after a bitterly disappointing trip (in footballing terms) which saw a terrible game from my beloved England against an Algeria team who before the match said a 3-0 loss would be a good result… Ouch. In non-footballing terms – Cape Town is amazing and one of the best cities I've visited in my life – without a doubt – the stadium was fantastic and the general atmosphere in this town is second to none.
Tonight I'm off to the Brazil vs Ivory Coast game, ...

While Finland's Mikko Hirvonen powered to his maiden world championship event yesterday, winning the last Rally Australia to be held on the west coast, 14,000km away in Switzerland, France's Sebastien Loeb banked his third consecutive world title without lifting a finger.
Driving a Ford Focus, Hirvonen maintained his overnight lead to win by 37 seconds ahead of a resurgent Petter Solberg, in a Subaru Impreza WRX.
"I lost count of the times Malcolm [team boss Malcolm Wilson] called me in the car and told me to slow down," Hirvonen said. "I didn't want to give up the chance of a win - I went flat out and hoped for the best."
Hirvonen's joy of his breakthrough victory came with some quiet satisfaction, too - two years ago he was fired by Subaru. Solberg, the man he beat in Western Australia, was his then teammate.
Rally Australia's swan song in Perth will be remembered for more than a young driver's first win; the treacherous tree-lined ball-bearing gravel rally stages and blinding red dust on Friday and Saturday claimed many leading drivers, including Australian Chris Atkinson's Subaru and Marcus Gronholm's Ford.
Gronholm needed to finish third or better to keep alive the 2006 world championship. After rolling his car on day one and losing more than 10 minutes the Finn kept charging and came through to finish fifth.
"I made it back to fifth, and that is as good as I could expect after Friday's crash," the dual world champ said.
Citroen's Loeb, who has missed the recent two rallies due to a broken arm, can now look for a place on his mantel for the '06 trophy.
The Frenchman watched the last two stages live, thanks to an internet link between the Citroen team marquee in Perth and Loeb's Geneva home. He indicated he wants to drive in the next event, in New Zealand starting on November 17.
The best Australian finisher was eighth-placed Dean Herridge in a Subaru.
Atkinson is still ruing the opportunity lost to win his home event. He was leading on Friday when he left the road. Atkinson, who resumed the rally on Saturday with a 25-minute penalty for missing five stages following his crash and fire, was taking things quietly yesterday morning.
"Then when we came over a crest quickly, there was a tree across the road," Atkinson's co-driver Glenn Macneall said. "Chris swerved to miss the fallen tree and hit another tree." The impact broke the left rear suspension and tore some bodywork. But the pair in their patched-up Impreza continued to the finish, placing 10th.
Western Australia hosted the world rally championship for 18 years, attracting high praise from competitors.
But the WA Government began to resent the nearly $6 million a year it tipped into the event. Critics have subsequently slammed the Government for dumping one of the state's biggest international events.
After a break of a year, Rally Australia will relocate to Queensland in 2008.

By J. Scott Keltie, Secretary: Royal Geographical Society of England
The announcement of the death of Prince Peter Alexeivich Kropotkin on February 8, 1921, in a small town near Moscow, where he was virtually interned, will have been received with regret by a wide circle of all classes and all creeds. He had left England (Which had been his home for many years) for Russia in 1917, after the Revolution had broken out, no doubt with the hope that his "anarchist" aspirations would be realized on a large scale. It need hardly be said that he was grievously disappointed. But this is not the place to deal in detail with Kropotkin's political views, except to regret that his absorption in these seriously diminished the services which otherwise he might have rendered to Geography.
Prince Kropotkin, descended from one of the oldest princely houses in Russia, was born in the "Old Equerries Quarter" in Moscow on December 9, 1842, so that when he died he had entered on his seventy-ninth year. In this aristocratic quarter, surrounded by troops of serfs, he spent his first fifteen years. He and his brother Alexander, who were devoted to each other, received a somewhat irregular education from private tutors — French, German and Russian. The education was mainly literary and historical. So keenly interested in literature was Kropotkin even then (aged thirteen), that he started a Review which continued for two years, till he had to leave for St. Petersburg. His father had determined that his sons should enter the Army, and at the age of fifteen Kropotkin, much against his wishes, was admitted to the Cadet Corps, or Corps of Pages, which received only 150 boys, mostly children of the nobility belonging to the Court. Those who passed the final examination could enter any regiment of the Guards or of the Army they chose, while a certain number were attached as pages to members of the Imperial Family. After all, Kropotkin became reconciled to the school, and spent quite an interesting and useful five years going through the various forms. At first he found the lessons so easy that he had plenty of time for private reading. In time he took up various sciences — Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Geography, Cartography, and both in classes and by himself made considerable progress in this direction.
When in 1863 he had passed his final examinations, in which he took high rank, he had to decide what regiment he wished to enter, I being expected that, like his fellow cadets, he would choose one of the most select — some regiment attached to the Court. But to the consternation of is father and his comrades, he decided to join the Mounted Cossacks in the Amur, a new and undistinguished regiment. He had long been interested in Siberia and its geographical problems, especially those connected with the Amur and the Usuri. By selecting a Siberian regiment he would have ample scope for exploration in little-known Eastern Siberia. During his five years in Siberia he had opportunities for carrying out exploring and surveying work on the Amur and in Manchuria, the maps of which abounded in blanks and errors. Later still he explored the Western Sayans, and caught a glimpse of the Siberian Highlands. Finally he undertook a long journey to discover a direct communication between the gold mines of the Yakutsk Province and Transbaikalia. All this proved of great service to Kropotkin when, after his return to Europe, he took up the difficult problem of the structure of Northern and Central Asia.
In time, Kropotkin and his brother Alexander, who was station at Irkutsk, became more and more interested in the revolutionary movements which were developing in Russia and other European countries. They decided to leave the Army and return to St. Petersburg; this they did early in 1867. Kropotkin entered the University, where he worked hard for five years mainly on scientific subjects, devoting special attention to geography. He became intimately associated with the Imperial Geographical Society in his capacity of Secretary to its section of Physical Geography. But his main geographical interest at this time was the vast problem of the orography of Northern Asia, the maps of which he considered were "mostly fantastic." This led him in time to extend his investigation into Central Asia. He not only made use of the

Billy Bush Reportedly Leaving NBC Due to Misogynistic Comments Made With Donald Trump. Hi guys, right now on 4 top dot com want to share with you latest buzz of Billy Bush Reportedly Leaving NBC Due to Misogynistic Comments Made With Donald Trump, Please read right after it
Last Friday, The Washington Post released footage from NBC's Access Hollywood in 2005, showing then-host Billy Bush engaging in a crude, misogynistic conversation with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The blowback has been quick and ruthless, and although Donald was able to evade commenting on what he said during the second presidential debate, Billy is facing a harsher punishment. The 9 a.m. hour Today show host was suspended from the network on Sunday, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, he's in the midst of negotiating an end to his position.
Thanks to an outcry from social media users and celebrities alike, his exit should come as no surprise. High-profile public relations firms were even threatening to boycott Today if Billy came back, according to THR's sources. "People who were already booked on the Today show were saying, 'Maybe we should look at GMA or make sure it's not him doing the interview.' There are people who wouldn't talk to him before the news. At Access [Hollywood], he was always 'that guy.' There were people who were anxious about him before he started [on Today]." Billy apologized for his behavior in a statement, but Today executive Noah Oppenheim made it clear he wouldn't be welcomed back in an email to staff on Sunday. "Let me be clear — there is simply no excuse for Billy's language and behavior on that tape," he wrote. "NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter."

Washington, Aug 27 (ANI): Entrepreneurs should remain wary of what they read in newspapers and other written sources, for they might lead them off track, according to University of California researchers.
Dr. Susan Glover said that public information from both informal and written sources, like newspapers, lead entrepreneurs astray.
In a study Glover took as an example how newspaper propaganda shaped the ore foraging strategies of the late nineteenth century Colorado silver prospectors.
She said that it is still not clear why individuals would allow questionable information from the media to dictate their economic strategies.
Still, she said that it was not uncommon for investors to be overenthusiastic during mass economic events, including the dot.com boom and the recent economic crisis.
She used the Colorado silver rush as a case study to investigate the role of the media and public information in shaping economic strategies, by comparing actual and optimal foraging behaviors (known as central place foraging, or CPF, behaviours) - in this case, of silver prospectors in Gothic, Colorado.
Central Place Foraging (CPF) models are designed to investigate optimal foraging strategies of individuals.
The data was gathered from the newspapers of the time, since the information in them is a "fossilized" version of what the public would have known from more informal sources, such as saloons.
She found that the information in the local newspapers exaggerated ore concentrations and led prospectors to underestimate the actual risk and investment of time and energy they were taking.
As the "payoff" was not worth the risk, (part of which was the distance from the town to the mines - not CPF behavior) prospectors ended up over-risking their investment.
The case showed that while the media can exploit the public by appearing to supply accurate information, the media themselves are being misled.
The study also teaches that in an environment where decisions are based on information provided (and presumably manipulated) by others, risk management is practically impossible and has a high potential for failure.
A very extreme case of this is the recent global financial crisis - individuals were underestimating their economic risk (subprime mortgages) based on what media and economic specialists were reporting.
And based on the CPF model, they wandered very far away from their home base with the false hope of a bigger payoff or a better life.
The study was published online in Springer's journal Human Ecology. (ANI)
