The Ohio Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commission (Commission) was established in 1985 by Executive Order. Today the Equal Opportunity Division provides administrative support to the commission.
The commission is a statewide advocate of Dr. King's principles of nonviolence and annually honors Ohio's citizens who work to promote diversity and eliminate discrimination through nonviolent methods. Each year, the Commission presents awards to Ohioans to celebrate the life of Dr. King, whose teachings encourage nonviolent actions to secure equal rights for all Americans. The commemorative celebration held each January in downtown Columbus.
The Commission strives to carry our Dr. King's dream of service to others throughout the entire year through various events. To learn more about the Commission as well as how you can become involved, please click below:
Last year marked a landmark in American history. On Aug. 28, 1963, the March on Washington culminated with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s historic "I Have a Dream" speech.
The Ohio Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commission (Ohio MLK Commission) and Governor John R. Kasich, together with the King Center in Atlanta and the 50th Anniversary Coalition, encouraged individuals and organizations throughout Ohio to pause to remember, reflect and act upon the dream that Dr. King shared with the world 50 years ago. Organizations were invited to join in "Let Freedom Ring" bell-ringing events at 3 p.m. on Aug. 28, a half-century to the minute after Dr. King delivered his historic address. Please see the links below for more information.
The Ohio MLK Commission hosted a bell-ringing commemorative ceremony at the West Plaza of the Statehouse in downtown Columbus on Aug. 28 at 3 p.m. Please see below for additional information.

A study released earlier this month finds that those who drive after smoking marijuana had more than twice the crash risk as non-users, according to a USA Today story.
According to the report, those who also consumed alcohol in addition to smoking marijuana had an even higher crash risk.

– Rumors are going wild about Brooke Adams better known as Brooke Tessmacher to the wrestling fans is leaving TNA. It appears that she is gone form the company and here is why.
She did not appear on the recent TNA UK tapings, throw in that she has not wrestled a match since November 7th on Impact! The biggest reason of this rumor is because she changed her Twitter handle and then also changed her Instagram username from "brookeimpact" to "thebrookeadams."
She posted this on Instagram: "Things change for a reason."
The tell tell sign on if a wrestler is gone from TNA or WWE is when they are removed from the roster page. As of this writing she has not been removed.
Andrews Take: All signs point to her being gone and right now that is not good for TNA. Not only is she good at looking at, but more importantly she is a good wrestler that TNA needs right now. Story developing.
– With Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and King Mo winning their last fights and now set to square off with each other. TNA is planning on bringing them back into the pro wrestling world within a couple of months leading up until their fights with Bellator. For the fight, they are going to do a big angle on Impact! to hype up their upcoming fight.
Jackson has not appeared on Impact! Since September 12 of 2013.
King Mo has not appeared since October 14, 2012.
Andrews Take: I do not have a problem with them bringing in other names from outside of wrestling, but the problem is that TNA does better ratings than Bellator does. Enough sad.

Please remove this listing as it is no longer there. There is a mining museum in threlkeld and a slate mine at Honister pass but both visits require a car.
Loved it, very informative and well worth a visit! Good car parking and very easy to find. Very nice exhibits and staff very friendly
The wall isn't very high, more bouldering but a good option if its wet. Shame its moved to outside the town
As this museum is now closed ,unfortunately, due to retirement. Some of these reviewers appear confused as they must have visited the Threlkeld mining museum as they mention the train and the underground mine experience. Although different it is well worth a visit if you are interested in geology or like steam trains or vintage excavators.
Interesting - not for little ones though. The train ride left me covered in sooty bits but was fun. Lots of lovely chunks of slate just lying about!
The closure of the mining museum is a sad loss for Keswick. The owner, Ian Tyler has, I understand, retired - which he undoubtedly deserved to do, but it is a great loss to geological enthusiasts
Such a great shame this wonderful museum has now closed, we have visited it for many years and shall miss going there in the future
Machines, history, mine, German roots, railway trip. Make sure you've got warm clothing if you go in the mine. A special destination for boys up to the age of 93.
This little gold-mine ( no apologies for that) is exactly that; an amazing collection of all kinds of things to do with mining in the Lake District. The exhibition is the result of one man's passion and that of his now departed wife ( a section of the exhibition is movingly dedicated to her and her love of the geology...
This little museum has a great stock of books as well as the huge array of minerals. It's such a shame that this little gem is about to close

For sale: painstakingly restored Vietnam War-era Marine helicopter. Records missing, but mounts, gun replicas and rocket pods included. The blades spin, but the 1965 UH-1E Huey gunship is not flyable.
To view, visit Cevon McLean's backyard in Lothian.
Last month, McLean posted the "pinnacle" of his collection on Craigslist for $175,000. So far, a man has offered to trade him a Learjet for McLean's piece of military history. But, as McLean's family has discussed, a Learjet's just not practical.
McLean bought the helicopter as surplus for $14,000 three years ago — it had last been used to fight fires in Florida. He spent countless hours researching its history, and then meticulously acquired authentic replacements for everything missing. He collected helmets, seats, dials and measured out the precise locations of all the decals to make the helicopter a mirror image of what it was in 1965, right down to the Camp Pendleton signature on the nose: a skull and crossbones inscribed within the ace of spades.
Now, he said, his wife wants him to sell it so they can finish their beach house.
According to McLean's research, about 200 of these Huey gunships were shipped to Vietnam, and only 36 returned.
"He's probably right on the money," said retired Col. Walter J. Boyne, former director of the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution and author of "How the Helicopter Changed Modern Warfare."
The Huey gunships were "the backbone ofU.S. militarypower for many, many years," Boyne said, and just the sort of thing someone with a sense of nostalgia might want to buy.
"Maybe they were rescued by one, or they flew one," Boyne said. "There's a lot of rich guys with toys out there, flying World War II fighter planes. ... It's a matter of prestige, like a driving an antique Rolls-Royce. It's not great for getting you around town, but it's great for prestige."
Even if the Federal Aviation Administration gave permission for McLean's Huey to leave the ground, he couldn't fly it. He walked away from plans to become a pilot in the Texas National Guard, he said, when he met his future wife, Mary.
The couple tows the Huey on a custom-made trailer — included in the purchase price — to veterans' events and fundraisers around the area, though neither ever served in the military. They say restoring the helicopter has been a public service, connecting aging veterans with their earlier lives.
"It's the sound that really brings them back," McLean said. "When they're lying in the jungle and they hear the whoop-whoop-whoop, you know the helicopter's coming. ... It brings out a lot of emotions. Just the smell inside the aircraft brings back a rush of memories for these veterans. Some good, some bad."
Two years ago, retired Marine Capt. Clyde Childress was hosting a Wounded Warrior event at his home west of Richmond, Va. By chance, a friend had spotted McLean's Huey as it rolled along Interstate 95 on its trailer, and the friend suggested bringing it to the event. Childress' flight logs revealed he had flown missions in that very helicopter.
"I just sat there, and I couldn't believe I was there sitting in a plane that I had flown 40 years ago," said Childress, who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service. If anyone gets McLean's Huey flying, Childress wants a ride.
The aircraft is a rare find but not a perfect one. And acquiring all the parts necessary for it to fly — not to mention the paperwork — would be an expensive undertaking.
"You have to have deep pockets, like half a million bucks. It's not funny," said Mike Law, president of the Vietnam Huey Pilots Association, which is based in Texas.
But Law understands the appeal. He said he leaped at the opportunity to ride in a Huey a few years ago, and even brought his wife along.
"While she's scared spitless, I can share with her what it was like when I was a kid," Law said, adding that the flight, though poignant, was different.

This is an obvious choice…. Thanksgiving day dinner of course! I got to the dining hall at 4:30pm just to get ready for this extravagant event. The dining hall goes all out for this dinner. From Charlie Brown thanksgiving videos playing on televisions to a giant inflated turkey to food galore.
On the menu is typical thanksgiving day food - stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, everything else you could ever imagine. And then you get to dessert….. Pies on pies on pies. Some people even try to steal a whole pie because they're concerned they'll be all gone before they're done eating their meal.
This dinner is so anticipated you can be sure the lines will stretch further than any other day of the year. It's just a thing. And you deal with it because who doesn't want thanksgiving dinner.
My typical thanksgiving dinner schedule (at the dhall):
4:29-4:30 walk to the dining hall, yes my dorm building is THAT close.
4:30 walk up with friends so that we can be sure to get a big table sitting together. On such a busy day there's no guarantee you'll find a big enough table where you want to sit unless you get there early enough
4:40 get food. Even this early the lines are still crazy long. I recommend grabbing a slice of corn bread and nomming on it while you stand in line.
5:00 sit down and go to town. Just eat your heart out!
5:30 attempt to find dessert. This is a struggle, but I got lucky this year. I got a slice of pumpkin AND apple pie. Call me greedy, but it's worth it.
6:00 leave the lines in the dust. Retreat to room before riot breaks out over the last slice of pumpkin pie (not really but kinda).
6:15 sleep… Like for a long long time. They really should just cancel classes for the following day.
DO eat pizza every once in a while just to avoid the lines
DON'T limit yourself to only the right side of the d-hall
DO sit on the main floor
DON'T sit up against that wall
DO put every imaginable topping on the salads
DON'T take a tray – just don't do it
DO eat with different friends for different meals
DON'T avoid the ice cream
DO wake up for breakfast – I promise it will start your day off in the best possible way… with bacon
DON'T go to breakfast after 9:30. You will be severely disappointed
DO get an omelet, but be prepared to wait 20 minutes for it
DON'T just ask for mayo at the sandwich line – ask for light mayo unless you want your sandwich flooded with goopy fat that is mayo.
DO mix different kinds of drinks together. Who knew that orange, cranberry, and grape juice tasted so good together?
DON'T feel that you need justification to eat ice cream. As I said before just don't avoid it… enjoy it.
DO eat your veggies
DON'T keep your plate one color
DO fist pump with AJ, the nice guy who refills the napkin holders
DON'T leave hungry.

EFF Accepts Barney's Surrender
Purple Dinosaur Backs Off and Pays Up; Free Speech Rights
San Francisco - The corporate owners of the popular
children's television character Barney the Purple Dinosaur
have agreed to withdraw their baseless legal threats
against a website publisher who parodied the character and
to compensate him for fees expended in defending himself.
The agreement settles a suit filed by the Electronic
Frontier Foundation (EFF) in August on behalf of Dr. Stuart
Frankel against Lyons Partnership, owners of the Barney
character. Frankel received repeated, meritless
cease-and-desist letters from Lyons, claiming his online
parody violated copyright and trademark law. EFF's suit
asked the court to declare that Frankel's parody was a
noninfringing fair use protected by the First Amendment.
"We wish we hadn't had to file a lawsuit to finally get
Barney's lawyers to stop harassing a man who was just
expressing his opinion about a cultural phenomenon," said
EFF Staff Attorney Corynne McSherry. "Hopefully Lyons
Partnership has learned its lesson and will have more
respect for fair use in the future."
This settlement is the latest development in EFF's ongoing
campaign to protect online free speech from the chilling
effects of bogus copyright claims. Earlier this month, EFF
filed suit against Michael Crook -- a man who claimed
copyright infringement in an effort to censor his online
"Those who misuse copyright should know that they can be
sued for doing so," said McSherry. "This settlement should
send a message to those who want to use copyright law as a
pretext for censorship."
EFF was assisted in this case by Elizabeth Rader, James
d'Auguste, and Brian Carney, attorneys with the firm of
Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld LLP, which is defending
Dr. Frankel's free speech rights on a pro bono basis.

OMB asks Congress to cut contractor compensation … again
January 31st, 2012 | Congress OMB Procurement | Posted by Sarah Chacko
The Office of Management and Budget wants Congress to reconsider a proposal to reduce how much contractors can charge the government for their executives' compensation, an amount that is currently "unjustified and unnecessary," the federal procurement chief said in a blog post this morning.
Under federal cost reimbursement contracts, agencies pay contractors for incurred costs, including salaries for executives and other employees. These costs usually show up in the overhead rates that contractors set. OMB caps how much contractors can charge the government for executive compensation based on what top private sector executives earn.
Contractors can currently ask the government to reimburse up to $693,951 for each of its top five executives. OMB will soon have to update that figure and the cap is expected to increase to $750,000.
The administration asked Congress last year to scrap the formula that sets the reimbursement cap and instead tie it to what the government pays its own top executives, about $200,000.
"Unfortunately, Congress failed to reform the current reimbursement formula for contractor executives and, until it does, taxpayers will continue to foot a bill that is both unjustified and unnecessary," Lesley Field, acting administrator of OMB's Office of Federal Procurement Policy, said in the post.
The administration has asked Congress to take another look at the formula and lower the compensation cap this year.

This bill will only hurt the middle class employees of federal contractors. Think about it. Is the board of directors really going to cut the CEO's salary from $2 mil to 200k because they can't include the compensation in overhead? Be serious. The CEO will still make $2 mil but he will tell every department to cut overhead to make up for the lost profit. They will cut administrative assistants, human resources staff, contracts admins, etc. until they make up the lost $550k. They will also cut corners on direct charge staff, searching out the cheapest direct charge labor instead of the best they can find. The top five will be the last to feel any pain. Sometimes I wonder if the people at the OMB care one bit about the regular folks who devote their careers to supporting the federal government. It sure doesn't seem like it.

Arbitrarily setting limits of government contractor pay is not only bad policy, but especially detrimental to small businesses. It is hard to fathom how this Administration can punish a small business entrepreneur, who takes enormous risk in a very challenging market, creates jobs and value for the taxpayer, only to not be able to not be properly compensated for the risk assumption under the guise that their compensation is "excessive."
It is a fact that rewarding top talent is vital for commercial firms to compete. Has it not dawned on Administrative officials at the disparity between this proposed change, and the fact that companies such as General Electric pay their top executives hundreds of millions of dollars in total compensation, yet these firms pay little to any taxes?

What angels are apparently supposed to look like.
They had 6 wings, covered with eyes on the wings. And had two eyes on their face, but used 2 wings to cover their face at all times because if a mortal ever saw their face they would die.
The bible mentions multiple faces, being covered in eyeballs, constant singing, lion heads etc.
Besides being described as beasts and monsters, they're practically brainless drones. Heavenly angels are only one step removed from demons. The only difference is demons fell from heaven because they chose to follow Lucifer, who was an angel (angel of music and one of god's favorites). So they are these eyeball covered animal mashed up monsters who were only created to worship for eternity (part of humanities creation was so that something would choose to love god, not just worship him because they were created to).
Angels fall into a lot of new age and conspiracy beliefs.We were taught that the supernatural realms went in the order of Heaven, Hell, then Earth. So when the angels fell from heaven with Lucifer, some fell through hell and landed on Earth. We were taught they intermarried with early humans and created giants and taught witch craft to women.
They're abominations, they're alien, they're beyond us. They're creatures that biology as we know it does not apply to. Often they do not love mankind, they love God and God alone.

L.A. Pride Festival Draws Thousands to WeHo
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KTLA) -- Hundreds of thousands of people clogged the streets of West Hollywood on Sunday for the 42nd L.A. Pride Festival.
The weekend's festivities began Saturday at noon at West Hollywood Park and ran until midnight on Sunday.

Actress and author Molly Ringwald, who stars in "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," served as the grand marshal.
Ringwald was selected for her support of LGBT communities, including her appearance in a commercial opposing Prop 8, the 2008 California ballot measure to ban same-sex marriage.
The community grand marshal was the Trevor Project, which provides resources to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth.
The festivities also included comedian Alec Mapa and performers such as pop duo Karmin and electro-pop singer Dev.
Several street closures were in effect through 5 p.m. Sunday, including:
-Santa Monica Boulevard between Fairfax Avenue to Doheny Drive -Crescent Heights Boulevard from Romaine Street to Fountain Avenue -Streets one block north and south of Santa Monica Boulevard from Fairfax Avenue to La Peer Drive

A research report from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill has surprised investigators with its implications that some people with depression have a persistent biologically based abnormality in their brain's serotonin system, even when the patients are in remission.
Ten years ago, Robert Golden, M.D., a professor and chair of psychiatry at UNC, and his colleagues discovered that people with clinical depression showed a blunted hormonal response to a test that boosts serotonin. The team showed that when subjects were administered clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant that is a potent serotonin reuptake inhibitor that would normally boost serotonin levels with an initial dose, the serotonin systems of those with depression were "sluggish in response and not working properly."
Their methodology involved measuring plasma prolactin levels in response to the clomipramine challenge test. Serotonin increases secretion of prolactin by the pituitary gland. Golden likened the finding to a serotonin system that needed a tune-up, because the blunted prolactin response in patients with depression indicated they were not getting "much gas mileage" from the increase in serotonin availability. Several other researchers have, in the decades since, repeated the findings.
In the new report, which appeared in the May Neuropsychopharmacology, Golden's team showed that as a group, people with depression have a blunted prolactin response to the clomipramine challenge test, even when they are in remission.
"What we had thought was that this abnormal index of serotonin function would sort of be the equivalent of fever in strep throat," Golden told Psychiatric News, "in that when the patient got better, the response would normalize."
Golden said the team originally thought that the initial blunted response to clomipramine might normalize early on in treatment with antidepressant medication, signaling that the patient would respond to the treatment even before his or her symptoms improved.
"What we found was that for the group as a whole, both in those who did respond to treatment and those who didn't respond, there was no normalization," Golden said. "Then, when we followed the responders longitudinally, to our surprise, even when they were completely well, medication free, and in a state of remission, the abnormal blunted response persisted."
Golden said that the team—in retrospect—should not have been surprised. Depression has long been thought to have genetic influences. It would stand to reason that the biological abnormality would not simply "go away with a little drug treatment."
Golden cautioned that the abnormal response to clomipramine was not a ubiquitous finding; some study patients who were depressed did show a normalized response to the drug.
"So what I think this might turn out to be," Golden suggested, "is a way of teasing out who is destined to have multiple recurrent episodes of depression without long-term treatment."
Golden hypothesized that the serotonin system in patients with a blunted response to the clomipramine challenge test is analogous to a car engine in need of a tune-up. Under normal conditions, the engine may not be running properly, but the car nonetheless gets riders to their destination. But, he told Psychiatric News, if the car is driven up a mountain road, the engine probably could not handle the additional stress. Everything the engine needs to run is still available, he said, but it isn't able to function efficiently—it needs a tune-up.
"If you only look at serotonin levels in the brain—or for that matter, norepinephrine, which I think is just as important—you're only getting part of the picture," Golden said. "If you just measure serotonin or norepinephrine receptors, and even if you see consistent findings, up or down, you don't know how to interpret that. There's an interplay between the neurotransmitter and the receptor that needs to be teased out."
With the clomipramine challenge test, "we give the serotonin system in the brain a known challenge [using a specific dose of clomipramine], and we let it show us how much mileage we can get," he explained.
By giving the clomipramine intravenously in low doses, Golden said, the team has minimized many potential problems, including bypassing "first-pass metabolism" of the drug through the liver after an oral dose and highly variable absorption from the stomach in different individuals.
Also by giving a low dose (12.5 mg, IV), Golden has achieved a "fairly clean" action of the drug. At that low dose, clomipramine is a potent serotonin reuptake inhibitor but has no detectable effects on norepinephrine or dopamine.
"The next exciting question," Golden said, "is why are the test results abnormal in these people? If we can figure out which component of the complicated serotonin system is responsible for this persistent laboratory abnormality, then that could be a target for developing new treatments."
The team is repeating the same study in a new group of people with depression and their first-degree relatives, as well as a control group of "super healthy" people—those with no personal or family history of depression, he explained.
"What we expect to see is that some family members of patients with depression will have an abnormally blunted test, though no symptoms of depression," Golden said.
The team will look for genetic polymorphisms in subjects' serotonin system and try to relate these to results on the clomipramine challenge test.
"It might be a way," Golden postulated, "for this type of biological subtyping of depression—those with a blunted clomipramine challenge test as one subtype—to identify patients who need a particular intervention and/or to identify those patients who will need long-term treatment to prevent relapsing through multiple episodes."

Upcoming Speaking/Travel Dates
Holy crap, traveling for the past month has totally done a number on my skin, immune system, and sleep schedule. Three more days in China and then I'm off to LA for a week - yet another climate and time change. Never thought I'd be looking forward to returning to the frigid New England winter, but I'm longing for some normality (and a wardrobe change) after weeks on the road.
After I get back to Boston on the 30th, I'm going to be in proposal writing mode for the indefinite future so there will be fewer new articles and blog posts coming up. Though most of my literary output will remain private for a while, I'll have a web series coming out soon and I'll be doing sporadic speaking gigs. That said, I'm trying to cut down on travel and extraneous obligations, so I can spend as much time as possible in Boston and not get sick like I did last year when I was running about doing Feminist Coming Out Day. I only have half a year before my Berlin move, and I have to seriously reorganize my life to make writing and my codependent relationship with my best friend my two top priorities :)
Here's an incomplete list of where I'll be in upcoming months …
Visiting Family in Los Angeles, CA
Panel for Sex Week At Yale in New Haven, CT
Panel for XOXOSMS Internet Premiere in New York City, NY
SXSW Interactive/Film (for Sex in the Digital Age panel) in Austin, TX
Sex::Tech 2012 (for XOXOSMS screening and panel) in San Francisco, CA
I also have to visit LA one more time before I move to Germany (or my mother will actually kill me) and I may make it over to DC at some point, but that's all to be determined. I was also originally supposed to do a reunion with friends in New Orleans in early March, right before SXSW, but sadly, I don't think I can afford that at the moment. (Unless someone wants to fly me over to speak, pretty please?)
Due to lack of time/money/energy, I don't think I'll be adding much more to my plate this spring, but as always, shoot me an email if you're interested in hosting me as a speaker. I'll update the above list as details get solidified (there's a few Harvard events and some local stuff I'm still getting confirmation on). Also, for everyone who's been inundating my inbox, I'll be back in civilization this weekend and hope to have a handle on late emails by next week.
Now … it's time to end this Asia trip on a high note! It's right before Chinese New Year, and I can think of no better place to start the Year of the Dragon than in Shanghai :)

Barbara Walters' last day and last promise: '...See you later'
"...I can take a deep breath and enjoy the view.."
And there you have it, or them: Last words of a singular career that ended a little while ago. Write them down or remember them, if only to say "'last words, my eye...'" when Barbara Walters returns to the air after a brief "retirement sabbatical..."
Nevertheless, this morning's "The View" was her last official on-air appearance, not counting tonight's career retrospective.
INTERACT: New fall TV series | Greatest TV characters
MORE: Best shows to binge-watch | TV Zone blog
She went off in style: Saluting 25 "incredible" women of the TV news industry who, in fact, are incredible - a who's who of female newscasters, each of whom has insisted she owes her career, or at least some of it, to the trailblazer they all surrounded on "The View" set. Robin Roberts, Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, Paula Zahn, Jane Pauley, and on and on and on...
They were introduced by Oprah Winfrey who had this to say: "I had to be here to celebrate you because what you have meant to me. You have literally meant the world to me. There are so many things to say but not enough time to say them all. I want to thank you for being a pioneer and everything that that word means - being the first in the door, to knock down that door, to break the barrier, to pave the road we all walk on. I thank you for that..."
Walters looked surprised. Maybe she even was. But she was also undeniably pleased.
It was a nice hour, and in some ways a characteristic hour, with friends mixing pleasure with business - the usual promotional fly-throughs, courtesy of Hillary Clinton, selling a book, and maybe a candidacy ("I am running," she joked. "Around the park.") And Michael Douglas, another longtime Walters friend and starring in a forthcoming movie with Diane Keaton, who showed a picture of his father, Kirk, now 97.
But that's OK. Television is about I-rub-your-back-you-rub-mine, and Barbara Walters has done plenty of back-rubbing over the decades - consecrating careers, or pushing them into places of distinction, all the while pushing hers into an aerie essentially occupied by one person: Herself.
There were no tears and no tears were expected. Steely, tough and focused, Barbara Walters didn't get to be the most influential woman in the history of network news - and one of the three or four titans of this business - by succumbing to emotion. Walter Cronkite didn't tear up on his last night. Barbara did not on her last day.
Her final words were practiced - she said the exact same speech at the party in her honor the other night at The Four Seasons... But you also knew they were from the heart: "True, I was the first female co-host of an evening new show, but it's also true I was a flop" - she said the word as if the 40-year-old memory still stings.
"I was drowning, gasping for air, and then someone threw me that life preserver, called prime-time specials..."
Those specials - four a year, and for which she was paid $500,00, one-half of her famed $1 million salary in 1976 - created one of the unique bifurcations in TV history: A newswoman who interviewed real newsmakers and also real stars...
But those specials did indeed save her.
Meanwhile, she got advice from Clinton this morning: "Take some time off...take a real vacation."
Will Walters, who turns 85 this September, take this counsel? What do you think? Consider: She was just getting started at age 65, a couple of years before she even started "The View."
Who knows. She may just be getting started again.
'Grey's Anatomy:' Cristina Yang says goodbye
Jim Parsons on 'The Daily Show' talks 'The Normal Heart'
"The Normal Heart" -- Larry Kramer's autobiographical play on the AIDS crisis from 1985 -- will arrive on HBO May 25, with Jim Parsons in the role of Tommy Boatwright (which he also played on Broadway). That means ... interviews!
On Thursday night he spoke to Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show" about the play, the role, and what it all means now (though in truth he doesn't get too deeply into that aspect). It's an interesting interview, and all I'd strongly advise that as you watch this (and "The Normal Heart"), do not -- I repeat, do not -- think of Sheldon Cooper. Strip your mind of the iconic role, if possible.
"Heart," directed by Ryan Murphy, has a reasonably remarkable cast: Besides Parsons, Matt Bomer plays Felx Turner, while Alfred Molina and Mark Ruffalo play the Weeks' brothers, Ben and Ned, respectively. (Julia Roberts, Taylor Kitsch and Jonathan Groff also star.)
There's no way around it: This will be a big Emmy winner for HBO, and -- I suspect -- for Parsons.

CNN's last live 9 p.m. telecast tonight...
A little bit of TV history ends in just a few hours - CNN's long-standing "live" 9 p.m. telecast, once the linchpin of CNN's entire broadcast day, ends in just a few hours.
Or 9 p.m., to be exact.
It began all the way back in 1980, when Sandra ("Sandi") Freeman hosted a nightly show, Freeman Reports," which was succeeded by "Larry King Live." "LKL" was one of the standout successes in CNN history - as LK likes to continue to remind people (just kidding, Larry!) - but the show that replaced it in 2011, "Piers Morgan LIve," was not. (It ended recently.)
That "live" element gave CNN a certain cachet and immediacy - but the rest of cable news history happened, which you already know so well. CNN - though hugely successful worldwide and online - continues its long struggles during news' slow periods (which, by the way, "LKL" was often immune to.)
The all-new primetime begins next week - original taped series (and films) hosted by Anthony Bourdain, Mike Rowe, Lisa Ling, and John Walsh (also, Morgan Spurlock...) will air at nine.
Rest in peace, "live"...
Long Island's Riverhead Foundation on 'Sea Rescue'
A quick TV program note on an important Long Island-based marine life rescue operation on Riverhead's East Main Street: the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research & Preservation will be featured Saturday on the Channel 7 series "Sea Rescue."
The Foundation says it "rescues and rehabilitates dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea turtles and whales. We respond to approximately 250 animals each year. Our rescue team is the only group to respond to stranded sea turtles and marine mammals in all of New York."
On Saturday's "Sea Rescue" (WABC/7 at 11:30 a.m.) a gray seal is saved from a net. (Two types of seals in LI waters -- grays and harbor seals; if you are very lucky, you can even see one "bottling," or head above water, when they're in the Sound, and not migrating... And they are beautiful as well as endangered...)
This is the story of Belle...
Is Barbara Walters really retiring? Really?!
Skepticism of course is warranted: Barbara Walters retiring? No she's not. But she says she is... then she says she's not. Last night on "Late Show with David Letterman," she and that other legend declared that they would walk off into the sunset together.... After first declaring that they had no desire to leave at all.
What's going on here? Shrinks have terms for this -- "inner conflict," is certainly one. "Lapsus linguae" may be the other -- a slip of the tongue that reveals the true inner emotions... Barbara's had those recently.
Wednesday night, watching her glide through the movable feast of power brokers in the Pool Room of the Four Seasons -- all gathered to fete this spectacular 50-year run which may or may not be coming to an end -- someone was overheard to say: "I give her three weeks."

That may be generous. I give her three days. (By the way, you may want to watch the tribute Friday at 9. It's quite good.)
Everyone says the same thing about Walters: She looks great, vital, beautiful... a Dorian Gray in a red suit who defies the clock. They also say she can't retire, anymore than Mike Wallace or Walter Cronkite could. It's not just the push and pull of a great career - which always seems to exert a magnetic pull over any avowed intention to back out, drawing them back in, over and over again... It's something much deeper: An identity bound tightly to that career, as if one cannot be separated from the other. The obvious benefits of work are one thing -- keeping active, remaining vital, doing everything you are so good at doing. But it's that deeper power the legends never have control over - the one that says they have to keep going because if they don't, they stop becoming what they were all along.
Johnny Carson was the only singular legend in TV history that I'm aware of who could bodily remove himself from that strangely human paradox -- though hard to say how successful he was because he died a mere ten years after leaving "Tonight": A recluse in a Malibu compound who swung a tennis racket and had no wistful glance back to the glory days... Or so one is lead to believe. We are all still waiting for the Bill Zehme biography.
But Barbara's different. Wednesday night was Her Crowd: Oprah, David Geffen, Woody Allen and every other luminary you could care to think of, all elbow-to-elbow in a packed room that parted only when the queen moved through. She looked happy, and sad; in the moment and also wistful. She made jokes because jokes are always a nice way to diffuse complex emotions: "At least now I have time for Botox. But since I'm not going to be on TV anymore, I don't need the Botox."
She explained (redundantly): "I don't know how to say goodbye. So I won't, and instead say, 'à bientôt...'"
That means "see you later." Or to quote that overquoted Hallmark-like saying, "A good-bye is never painful unless you're never going to say hello again."
The CW fall lineup: 'The Originals' moves to Monday; 'The Flash' to Tuesday
The CW unwrapped its fall lineup a few minutes ago, and -- as you may be able to tell from the headline on this post -- if "The Originals" move to Monday is the biggest news here, then there's not all that much to say, is there?
But what may be dull to you is possibly good for the CW, which appears to have stabilized after a few hard years. The network has a decently performing spinoff...Read more »

TNT goes 'boom;' changes tag, and nabs Ed Burns
TNT -- which has long been the claimant to the boast "We Know Drama" -- is dropping the tag in favor of another: "TNT Drama. Boom."
Meaning what exactly? In light of a recent comment by Time Warner chief Jeffrey Bewkes during an investor conference call, it could be interpreted as ominous...
"Over the past few years, we didn't take enough creative risks with its programming, and...Read more »
