The meteor that hit Russia last week is now believed to be the largest object to strike Earth in over 100 years. NASA scientists now estimate it to be 1,000 times larger than previously believed, exploding with 500 kilotons of energy.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Scientists have revised their estimate of the meteor's mass upwards from 10 tons to 10,000. NASA led the effort to revise the estimates after reviewing data from stations around the world that recorded the event as shockwaves reverberated around the planet.
The key to this analysis was infrasound data. Infrasound waves are too low in frequency for humans to hear, but can be detected with special equipment. These low frequency sounds travel much farther than the sounds we hear and scientists can use them to determine direction, location, and even the power of the source.
The Russian meteorite event illustrates a common problem in news reporting. Often in the immediate wake of an event, reporters seeking out any knowledge they can, find an expert who on the basis of an initial review of the data, will make an off-the-cuff estimate. This speculative answer is then widely propagated through the media.
This was also evident when it was initially reported that the Russian military shot down the meteorite. This obviously ridiculous statement was also propagated for some time in the immediate aftermath of the event.
The good thing about science is that it is self-correcting. The work done by NASA to calculate the true mass of the meteorite is evidence of this. In science, data is repeatedly reviewed and tested to provide simple answers about real events. These answers can then be bundled into conclusions and theories.
If anything, the revision suggests that we should never be too excited when we hear news of astounding scientific discoveries. Often, months to years following an event or a major discovery, science, patiently laboring, finds that the initial conclusion was in error. A notable example was last year's revelation that neutrinos did not in fact travel faster than the speed of light as was widely reported following a European study. Instead, there was a problem with the calibration of the equipment that caused a bad result.
The new estimate of mass for the Russian meteorite now means that it ranks as the largest thing to strike the Earth in over 100 years. It's predecessor is thought to have been the Tunguska event which took place in Siberia in 1908 and flattened like matchsticks, some 80 million trees in the Siberian wilderness.
That event was also detected as far away as London.
The greatest conclusion we can draw from this event is to take initial scientific discoveries and announcements with a grain of salt. Until peer review has had an opportunity to weigh in, it's hasty to draw formal conclusions.

US spends 35 per cent more on military than a decade ago
Wednesday 20 July 2011
The US military has essentially the same size, structure and capabilities as it did a decade ago but costs 35 per cent more, a public policy think tank has disclosed in an analysis of the 2012 defence budget.
The Centre for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments' report also said the Defence Department had spent some $46bn (£28.5bn) over the past decade developing weapons systems that were ultimately never used, either due to cost overruns or technical challenges.
"This was the opportunity of the decade to recapitalise and modernise the military's equipment, and that has been squandered," said Todd Harrison, who wrote the report. "We're looking at the prospect of a declining defence budget over the next decade and we're not going to have the opportunity to do that again."
With the US facing trillion-dollar budget deficits, President Obama has asked the Defence Department to cut some $400bn in spending over the next dozen years.

PRofits before PR
The Great Holiday Shopping Controversy is on once again! Retailers are pushing the Black Friday envelope a little further each year, with many stores including JCPenney, BestBuy, Old Navy opening at 5:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving day. Sears, Kohl's, Target, and others will open at 6:00 p.m. Most Walmarts will be open all day. While these companies are hoping to maximize their holiday profits, the voices protesting Thanksgiving day shopping are growing louder.
From the new Facebook group "Boycott Shopping on Thanksgiving Day" which lists stores as "naughty" and "nice," to retailers who are very public about remaining closed, the backlash and anger against opening on Turkey Day is palpable. Christopher & Banks, a clothing store in a New Hampshire mall that will fine stores for not opening, released this defiant statement: "We have made a decision that all stores will be closed on Thanksgiving day regardless of the mall requirements." The Capitol Mall in Olympia, Washington decided not to fine The Mac Store, an independent re-seller of Apple products, for refusing to open on the holiday. The Hartford Courant reported this week that, "Connecticut lawmakers plan to propose legislation next year to discourage stores from opening on Thanksgiving, aiming to prevent 'Black Friday' sales from spilling into a American holiday." And Long Island-based electronics retailer P.C. Richard & Son runs full-page ads every year stating, "It is our opinion that retailers who choose to stay open on Thanksgiving Day show no respect to their employees and families, and are in total disrespect of the family values in the United States of America."
Some retailers such as T.J. Maxx; Bed, Bath & Beyond; and Costco will be closed on Thanksgiving. The list of others is long and growing. From a public relations perspective, these brands have everything to gain by keeping their doors shut. The other retailers have put potential profits before PR; the question remains whether the loss of goodwill is worth the potential monetary gains from opening on the holiday. I'd opt for good PR.
Happy Thanksgiving! Your thoughts?
P.S. You can check out comedian Lewis Black's hilarious commentary on this same topic here.
PRe-existing PRisms
Many of us have books we keep meaning to read. Mine have been "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo and "Words That Work," by Dr. Frank Luntz. Since Hugo's book is approximately 1,500 pages and is in French (English translation available!), I opted to finally purchase Luntz's 267-page tome.
I'm an admirer of political and public opinion strategist Frank Luntz. I often watch his political commentaries and follow him on Twitter. Luntz's clients are primarily Republicans, although he's worked for various politicians and business leaders around the globe.
The subtitle of "Words That Work" is "It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear." Luntz frames his philosophy nicely in the book's introduction; it's an approach that should guide every public relations practitioner and professional communicator. "You can have the best message in the world, but the person on the receiving end will always understand it through the prism of his or her own emotions, preconceptions, prejudices, and pre-existing beliefs," he wrote. "The key to successful communication is to take the imaginative leap of stuffing yourself right into your listener's shoes to know what they are thinking and feeling in the deepest recesses of their minds and hearts."
Luntz's quote reminds me of a bullet point PR guru Fraser Seitel used in his textbook, "The Practice of Public Relations." In a chapter on crisis management, Seitel instructs us to "plan from the outside in," noting that the external environment, not internal strategies, should dictate how we select our priorities when communicating. Because we have to communicate through our target audiences' pre-existing prisms, we should try to see issues the way they will see them before we can effectively craft our messages.
With its more than a million words, the beauty and the challenge of the English language is that there are so many ways to express an idea. I'm looking forward to discovering Luntz' success in finding the words that work for us. As PR professionals, we must be very tactical when planning how we'll use the language to engage and motivate our audiences. Your thoughts?
Self-fulfilling PRophecy
Let's start with full disclosure: I generally support President Obama and the Democratic Party. I usually avoid politics in this blog, but there are a few public relations lessons to be learned from Election Day 2014.
It's generally agreed that Democrats suffered significant setbacks, losing several governorships, House seats, and the Senate majority. I believe a combination of tactical errors caused their losses, while a consistent strategy propelled the Republicans. The news media also played a significant role in influencing this election's outcome.
Let's look at some PR maxims and how they relate:
1) Accentuate the positive — PR people promote the good stuff. But Democrats never took ownership of significant achievements. Under the party's president and the Senate majority, the country avoided a depression, has lower unemployment and higher stock prices, millions more have health insurance, the environment is better protected, two wars are over, and Bin Laden is dead. The Dems didn't run on their positives.
2) Be consistent — PR people understand branding. Republican candidates never strayed from their umbrella theme that President Obama is a failure and, therefore, so is anyone from his party. This relentless messaging helped propel GOP candidates to victory.
3) Support your organization's leadership — PR folks know it's never constructive to badmouth the boss. Democrats not only gave in to the constant focus on Obama's lower approval rating, they ran from him and some actually denied ever supporting him.
4) Understand the media's hunger for contests — Journalists and pundits know that drama is good for ratings. Because they were highly focused on Obama's approval numbers and Democrats' efforts to avoid him, the election's outcome became a self-fulfilling prophecy. There was little discussion about issues, and few policy questions put to the politicians who have blocked Obama's every move. Instead, a shift to the GOP was framed as a possible solution to the gridlock that was purposely created.
5) Communicate your successes — I say President Obama has been pretty inadequate at highlighting and articulating the good things he's done. PR people know that lack of information breeds misinformation.
OK, that's my election analysis as it relates to PR maxims. Your thoughts?
The Social ExPeRiment
A note from Jeff Morosoff: Hofstra Honors College students in my PR fundamentals class are required to submit guest blog posts throughout the semester. The following was written by Areanna Rufrano:
Earlier this year Time magazine comprised a list of the 13 sassiest brands on Twitter. The companies that made the list excelled in creating witty interactions and clever posts thus proving that the power of social media is a big advantage for public relations professionals.
A major part of what public relations entails is communication with the general public, and the most effective way to do that today is through social media. It is a highly innovative platform that provides a direct connection to a mass audience as a means to supply information and generate buzz. If used properly, social media has the ability to enhance a public image, maintain a loyal following and establish a strong public awareness for a company.
Even though most of this area is strategically planned in public relations, especially for campaigns and announcements, there is plenty of room for spontaneous engagement. The majority of these unplanned opportunities relate to either a current event or news headline. For example, Oreo made a brilliant move by tweeting "You can still dunk in the dark" during the 2013 Super Bowl power outage, which went viral within minutes. It became a national sensation and proved to be more effective than the company's commercial during the game. So as long as the content is relevant and noteworthy, social media can be powerful method to attract public attention.
While social media is a great asset to utilize, one must be extremely cautious of the material that is to be publicized. Many times certain comments can be taken the wrong way even though the intention was good. Public relations professionals must work closely with marketers and social media directors to send out the right message. Ultimately, the general rule of thumb for social media is to continue to follow the "Seven Principles of Public Relations Management" created decades ago by former AT&T executive and PR veteran Arthur Page. Page's principles emphasized action, patience, listening and–most importantly–truth. Your thoughts?
PR and big data
My friend and PR mentor Bert Cunningham frequently suggests topics for Public Relations Nation. As I've done before, I asked Bert to be a guest columnist this week. I'm very happy he's again providing us with his wise observations.
I recently had the pleasure of speaking to one of Professor Morosoff's PR classes. One of the challenges, and opportunities, discussed was that PR pros need to know how to use Big Data.
A recent New York Times article entitled "How Facebook is Changing the Way its Consumers Use Journalism" underscored the issue. The article described how Facebook's use of algorithms to drive news to its users is "changing the way its users consume journalism." In turn, Facebook's algorithm-driven news feeds impact how news content providers structure their respective print, Internet and digital products, and how advertisers advertise and on what platforms.
It's still a "bold new world" for traditional news media seeking to survive as the impact of social media and digital apps drive more of the news delivery process. What struck me was how this changes the PR pro's role.
A cornerstone of PR is media relations. The basic tenet of media relations is to build relationships with reporters, editors and assignment desks. How will Big Data news algorithms change that equation? How does a PR pro build a relationship with an algorithm? I can imagine a Big Data-influenced call to a reporter going something like this: "Hi, Bill. It's Bert. I have an interesting story for the XYZ non-profit's annual fundraiser that's truly unique." "Really, Bert, sounds interesting. Let me see how non-profit fundraising stories are trending on Facebook's algorithm…Sorry, way down. Call back when the algorithm is up."
Extreme? Perhaps. But, here's the point: The human factor is being taking out of the news business, because of the need to survive. News outlets always had to survive, but there was a wall between the news content side and the advertising side. Those lines are blurring more and more because of social media-driven news feeds. When the human factor goes out of the news business so will the ability of PR pros to build meaningful media relationships.
So what do future PR pros do? How will they cope with Big Data and news feed algorithms? Your thoughts?
Passion foR it
Can you stand another blog post filled with good advice?
This week's wise words came from Bruce Bobbins, executive vice president at Manhattan-based PR firm DKC. Among DKC's 200 clients are governments, nonprofits and major corporations from Aeropostale to Yahoo with companies including Coca-Cola, Delta, Jaguar, Marvel, the Knicks, and dozens of other internationally-known brands. During a visit arranged by Hofstra PRSSA President Nathalie Retana, Bruce hosted 20 Hofstra students and me last Friday, and over pizza and soft drinks shared his personal and professional insights on what it takes to do public relations well.
Bruce said he's enjoyed every minute of his three decades in PR. But like many senior PR people, he didn't go to college to learn public relations. Bruce wanted to be a sportscaster, but when an internship at a PR firm turned into a job offer, he seized upon it. He found he was attracted to public relations initially because he enjoyed writing, and emphasized to the students the importance of the "3 C's" of good writing–clarity, conciseness and creativity.
Bruce described good PR people as "three-headed monsters." He said that effective public relations practitioners have three job descriptions: they have to be journalists and good story-tellers, they should be salespeople so they can create and maintain good client and media relationships, and they must be strategic counselors who guide their organizations through the often treacherous maze of public opinion. "You can do well in this business doing two of these three functions. But you'd do better if you can do all three."
Bruce also spoke about empathy. "Be compassionate," he told the students. He suggested that doing PR well also means caring about those who you can help through nonprofit organizations, and the people whose lives are improved because of social responsibility and good work your clients can do.
Finally, Bruce told his young guests that going to work every day has to be fulfilling. "Love what you do, have passion for it."
Bruce and I are of the same generation and had very different PR careers, but I couldn't agree more. Your thoughts?

There were many wise words provided by PR veterans to more than 1,000 students at last week's conference of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) in Washington, D.C. Perhaps the most significant session was titled, "A Conversation with Living Legends," featuring Thomas Hoog, former president and CEO of Hill+Knowlton, and Maril MacDonald, CEO and founder of Gagen MacDonald. There was also a keynote by Pam Jenkins, president of Powell Tate. I wondered which words made a lasting impression, so I took notes and thought I'd share some of their terrific pearls of wisdom here:
Hoog: "In PR, we're all about truth. Not hype, not spin, but truth. There's no place for spin in our profession."
MacDonald: "Loving to learn is the number one characteristic I look for when hiring. I look for people who are engaging. They are interested and interesting.
Jenkins: "Five years from now this industry will look different than it does today. Embrace disruption–and cause it."
Hoog: "Listen, incubate, initiate."
MacDonald: "Take the job that scares you the most and jump in!"
Jenkins: "We're living in the Age of Engagement. When it comes to every day things, we turn to each other rather than experts."
Hoog: "I believe in the 'three bone' theory of recruitment. I look for people who have a funny bone, a backbone and a wish bone."
MacDonald: "Everyone is clamoring for people who are good at storytelling and making things very visual."
Jenkins: "Most companies want to tell their stories directly to their customers. We in PR agencies need people with new skills (including) video producers, designers, creators, people who know analytics, who understand the news media, plus we need MBA's and PhD's."
Hoog: "Clear, concise and credible communication is essential for PR leadership."
There was no shortage of good advice at the PRSSA conference. Which of these pearls of wisdom resonate for you? Which will you remember? And what will inspire you to do something different on behalf of your own public relations career? Your thoughts?
Taking time to PondeR
My t-shirt (photo, r.) got some laughs at the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) conference in Washington, D.C. this weekend. It was a birthday gift from my daughters, and it's precisely what I find myself saying to my students when they seem surprised by an assignment or a class policy. In fact, most teachers say it a lot, and in its silly way it speaks volumes about how much we all simply don't pay enough attention.
I can tell you with some embarrassment that I've almost thrown out checks and credit cards, because the mail looked like junk and I was too careless to open the envelope. We allow ourselves to become so distracted that we don't read past the cover or think things through or ponder before taking action. We multitask to our own detriment and, as a result, we wind up making mistakes and missing opportunities. Hallway conversations become quasi-meetings, and email messages become a substitute for contemplative brainstorming and conversation.
This is why I enjoy conferences as much as I do. I relish the chance to completely focus on a presentation. The cell phone is off, no TV is on, the dog isn't asking to play, and no one's dropping by the office with a quick question. I get to listen to every word, share ideas and contemplate how they apply to my own experience. And that is exactly the point of a conference. It's a chance to get away from our every day environment and do some critical thinking–without interruptions. Then we enhance our professional lives by applying what we've learned.
Yes, it's on the syllabus. It's in the envelope. It's in the classroom, at the conference, in the program. It's taking time to hear the words and really listen. It's enjoying the parts of our day when we can pause, observe, and experience the moment. Sometimes it's just forcing ourselves to slow down, pay attention and think. Your thoughts?
Next week: What I heard and learned at
the PRSSA conference
Mr. PopulaR
He's 65 now, short and stocky, and looks more like an everyman than a piano man. He's been in a mental hospital and rehab, wrecked at least three cars and a motorcycle, lost two fortunes, and has three ex-wives including a supermodel and a woman half his age. Yet there wasn't an empty seat at Madison Square Garden last Thursday as Billy Joel played his monthly concert. Despite a checkered life, he is, without a doubt, adored by his audiences.
We see how quickly entertainers' careers can flounder when they have personal struggles and public controversies. Their public images suffer (examples: Justin Bieber, Charlie Sheen, Ray Rice, Lindsay Lohan), and they're often mocked and shunned by people in their own industry. Some recover from their issues and regain public favor; others never do. Billy Joel has navigated the negatives in his life and has enjoyed the public's goodwill throughout his career, especially now. Here's why:
First, there's his music. His prolific catalog of hits places him among the biggest superstars. His songs' lyrics speak of people we know and are, events and places we've seen and been, and take us to the times we heard them and sang along. And sing along we did at the Garden–more than 18 thousand people belting out "Piano Man", "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" and many others.
Locally this summer, Newsday's "That's SO Long Island" competition saw 520,000 voters place Joel number one–ahead of 64 foods, attractions, celebrities and activities including Jones Beach! He told Newsday, "My perspective of things all comes from a Long Island point of view." Joel was born, raised and still lives on Long Island, calling it his "favorite place" in a state tourism ad. He's raised money for Long Island Cares, Sandy Relief, and joins others cleaning a beach each year on behalf of the North Oyster Bay Baymen's Association and Friends of the Bay.
Billy Joel's a superstar who looks and thinks like us, and he spends his time and money on our behalf, too. This–and his wonderful music–is why the Piano Man remains Mr. Popular. Your thoughts?
An outsider's PeRspective
This past summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to work as a legal intern at NBCUniversal. The company's corporate environment allowed me to met many extraordinary people and observe the daily work flow. Upon mingling with the other interns on my floor, I learned that the office adjacent to mine was designated to the company's corporate social responsibility department. I was unaware at the time that this was a subdivision of public relations. Looking back at it now, I realize how attentive and involved those employees were to every single aspect of the company. My experiences with them and enrollment in this class has helped me better understand the comprehensive field of public relations.
As a television and business major, I have studied extensively the history and principles of modern-day media. However, my curricular and personal knowledge of TV has only been focused on the industry's production process and business management. But after being introduced to the functions of a public relations department/agency, I see how important it is to a client/company's publicity, especially in the entertainment area. In addition to this, I am now collaborating with a number of PR majors and club presidents after becoming the new social media producer for Hofstra Today. Working with them has given me a better insight to the field as well as a first hand PR experience.
Now knowing more about the public relations field, I have an outstanding sense of admiration and respect for those working in the industry. I realize that I have only been exposed to a small portion of public relations, but their efforts in other areas and businesses do not go unnoticed. The professionals in this field are true Renaissance men and women, adept in all forms of communication and many other important skills. I may have not been too familiar with the profession at first, but now I have a better perspective of what public relations actually entails.

Murdoch's ex-legal chief Tom Crone arrested
Ian Burrell
Ian Burrell is Assistant Editor and Media Editor of The Independent.
Friday 31 August 2012
Tom Crone, the former News International (NI) legal manager who left the company last year after falling out very publicly with the Murdochs, was arrested yesterday as part of Scotland Yard's phone-hacking inquiry.
Mr Crone, 60, was questioned by officers from the Operation Weeting inquiry after they arrived at his home in south-west London at 6.45am. The lawyer, who was taken to a police station in south London, was held on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications.
He worked for News International for 25 years before he left Rupert Murdoch's company in the wake of revelations in July 2011 that the News of the World had hacked into the voicemails of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler.
As head of NI's legal department, he advised a long line of high-profile editors at the News of the World and The Sun. But last year Mr Crone fell out with Rupert Murdoch and his son James – former NI executive chairman – over his role in the handling of the hacking scandal. In evidence to a parliamentary committee on hacking, James Murdoch clashed with Mr Crone and Mr Myler, suggesting they had failed to fully inform him that the scandal involved more than one "rogue reporter".
When Rupert Murdoch told the Leveson Inquiry the hacking inquiry had been concealed by a "clever lawyer and drinking pal of the journalists", Mr Crone had to respond. "His assertion that I 'took charge of a cover-up' in relation to phone-hacking is a shameful lie," he said in a statement, claiming Murdoch senior was attempting to deflect criticism from his son.

The New York City Police Department is being sued by a woman who says officers pepper-sprayed her entire family, including a 2-year-old and 5-month-old baby, according to The Raw Story.
In a lawsuit obtained by Courthouse News Service Monday, the woman accuses three officers of overacting when they saw her pushing the stroller through a service entrance instead of going through the subway turnstile, Raw Story reports.
"The pepper-spray caused the children to scream out and choked the two-year-old, who went into fits of vomiting," according to the lawsuit.

Central Ohio Group Says Immigrant Reform Not Big Enough
Officials estimate there are 30 to 40 thousand undocumented immigrants in Central Ohio who could be spared deportation under President Obama's reform order.
Booming energy production in shale formations has made a northeast Ohio county the top location in the state for underground injection of drilling wastes.
Portage County, home of Kent State University, had enough drilling wastes injected deep into the ground in 2012 to fill a train of tanker cars that would stretch nearly 37 miles.
The rankings were reported Sunday by the Akron Beacon Journal
Out-of-state shipments account for 57.6 percent of the waste going into Ohio's injection wells, up from 54 percent the previous year.
In 2012, 6 million barrels came from Ohio drillers and 8.2 million barrels from other states, mostly Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Music Gear News
Yamaha Tyros 4 Keyboard Officially Released
Leading piano and keyboard manufacturer Yamaha have promised the fourth incarnation in the Tyros series to be "better than ever".
The workstation is shaping up to be a crucial purchase for musicians whether they?re playing live or in the studio.
"More natural, more authentic, and exceptionally expressive," the Tyros 4 retains the ease of use of the Tyros 3, with an ergonomic panel layout and playability.
What really sets the Tyros 4 apart is its even greater variety of voices, styles and high end features.
The new Strings for example, have been taken from painstaking sampling of the 70 piece Seattle Symphony Orchestra.
One of the most significant is the human voice feature - something that has proven difficult for keyboard manufacturers to convincingly reproduce previously.
Using all new technology and clever sampling techniques, a new dimension in workstation based vocals has been launched.
Vocal patterns can be added directly from the Tyros built in Voices, with the Super Articulation Choir Voices being touted as some of the most realistic around.
The piece de resistance however, is the all new VH2 Vocal Harmony, adding both lush harmonies and synth Vocoder.
With a whole new selection of instruments, including updated and expanded organs, brass and woodwind, the Tyros 4 has a sound that should suit every style of music.
Add to this the 500 preset styles on board, and you have a powerful instrument whether being used as a band in itself or as part of a larger set up.
Gear4music.com recorded a special video of the Yamaha Tyros 4 at a preview event earlier in September - check it out below.Posted on 20 Sep 2010 11:35 to category : Instruments News

Nov 22, 2013 10:44 AM PT Poll: ObamaCare Favorable Rating With Democrats Plummets to 55% The Kaiser Foundation has been tracking public approval of ObamaCare going back to April of 2010. The poll's latest results hit some new records, and none of them are good news for the White House. Only 33% have a favorable view of the president's signature piece of legislation; that's a record low. Forty-nine percent have an unfavorable view, which is only two-points off the record. Most striking is that approval among Democrats has plummeted 15 points, from 70% to 55%. Nov 22, 2013 9:04 AM PT Streaming Revolution: Viewers Flee MTV, Comedy Central In the month of October, two cable channels that cater almost exclusively to young people lost viewers by double digits. Comedy Central's primetime audience dropped 19%, MTV's 32%.

When I first saw this masterpiece, I was still a liberal and therefore bought into its every deceit, fabrication, half-truth, and outright lie. Since growing up, I must say that Stone's hysterical attempt to rewrite an assassin and a president into something today's Left can live with, has lost none of its power to enthrall and entertain.

Allen and Politico appear to have been caught red-handed in what might be described as pay-for-play or "native advertising"; the dark art of "special interests that pay for slots in the [Politico] newsletter get[ting] adoring coverage elsewhere in the playing field of 'Playbook.'" Nov 21, 2013 9:34 AM PT ObamaCare Forces Woman Into Welfare Program Thursday, in the Wall Street Journal, Nicole Hopkins tells the heartbreaking and infuriating story of how the injustice that is ObamaCare forced her mother, 52 year-old Charlene Hopkins, on to the welfare program known as Medicaid. Yes, forced. First, ObamaCare canceled a policy she was happy with, and then the ObamaCare exchange tricked her into signing up for Medicaid by making that her only option. Nov 21, 2013 7:22 AM PT Sebelius: 'Bad Call' to Launch ObamaCare On October 1 During a Tuesday interview with the Associated Press, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius went off the White House talking points and admitted that launching the federal ObamaCare exchange on October 1 was "a bad call." Sebelius was responding to questions about the decision launch despite warnings that the site was not ready or properly tested for security. Nov 20, 2013 11:02 AM PT Time Breaks From Media: Reports On Future ObamaCare Debacles While the mainstream media has had no choice other than to report on ObamaCare's ongoing smoking guns of failure, something the media has adamantly refused to do is look ahead and report on what horrors ObamaCare will bring next. Time Magazine broke with that three-year media tradition Wednesday to warn its readers that Obama's promise about keeping your doctor will not live up to reality. Nov 20, 2013 8:51 AM PT Report: MSNBC Not Eager to Bring Back Alec Baldwin Page Six reports that Alec Baldwin's two-week suspension for calling a photographer a "c**ksucking f*g," is likely to become permanent.

Nov 20, 2013 8:04 AM PT CBS Poll: 84% of Democrats Want ObamaCare Changed or Repealed A fascinating number in Wednesday's CBS poll is that only 7% of the American public want ObamaCare "kept in place." A full 93% either believe that changes are needed to the law (48%) or want a full repeal (43%). This pits President Obama and Democrat lawmakers -- who thus far have refused to make any meaningful changes -- against 93% of the American people and 72% of Democrats. Nov 20, 2013 7:09 AM PT CBS Poll: Obama, ObamaCare Crash to Record Lows A CBS News poll released Wednesday shows that President Obama and his signature piece of legislation have hit record lows. Only 37% of those polled approve of the job the president is doing, with 57% disapproving. ObamaCare is even more unpopular. A full 61% disapprove of the health care law. Only 31% approve. Nov 20, 2013 5:27 AM PT State Department Leaves Translators Behind In Iraq, Afghanistan Monday, "The Lead with Jake Tapper" highlighted the story of former Army Captain Brian Larson, an Iraq war veteran desperately trying to get the Iraqi interpreter, who was a crucial part of his team during the war, out of that country before he's killed. State Department red tape is apparently making that next to impossible. Nov 19, 2013 12:58 PM PT ABC News Poll: Youth Abandon Obama and ObamaCare A poll released by ABC News Tuesday shows that President Obama's approval rating has hit an all-time low in this particular poll. But the biggest fallout has come from 18 to 29 year olds, a demographic widely considered to be Obama's base. Since January, the president's approval rating with this group has dropped a stunning 23 points. Support for ObamaCare has lost 16 points with this same group in just one month. Nov 19, 2013 11:55 AM PT ABC News Poll: Two-Thirds Oppose Individual Mandate Tuesday's ABC News poll holds no good news for President Obama, and no real new news. The fact that Obama's approval ratings are plummeting have only been further confirmed by this poll, as have the collapse of his favorability ratings and public support for ObamaCare. What is of note, though, is that 65% now oppose what is the heart and soul of ObamaCare, the individual mandate.

After 15 years of being uninsured, ObamaCare had finally made it possible for Jessica Sanford to purchase health insurance. Unfortunately, that ended up not being true.

"Thumbelina" (Danish: Tommelise) is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. The story was first published by C. A. Reitzel on 16 December 1835 in Copenhagen, Denmark in the second installment of the first collection of Andersen's Fairy Tales Told for Children. The other tales in the booklet were "The Naughty Boy" and "The Traveling Companion". The first installment included "The Tinderbox", "Great Claus and Little Claus", "The Princess and the Pea", and "Little Ida's Flowers".
"Thumbelina" is about a tiny girl and her adventures with appearance- and marriage-minded toads, moles, and beetles. She successfully avoids their intentions before falling in love with a flower-fairy prince just her size.
"Thumbelina" is mainly Andersen's invention. He did however take inspiration from tales of tiny people such as "Tom Thumb" and the Lilliputians in Gulliver's Travels. "Thumbelina" was published as one of a series of seven fairy tales in 1835. These seven tales were not well received by the Danish critics. They did not like their informal, casual style and their lack of morals. One critic, however, liked "Thumbelina". The earliest English translation of "Thumbelina" is dated 1846. The tale has been adapted to various media including an animated movie and a live-action television production.
Plot[change | change source]
Mary Howitt was the first to translate the story into the English. Her translation of the tale starts with a beggar woman giving a peasant's wife a barleycorn in exchange for food. Once the barleycorn is planted, tiny Thumbelina (Tommelise) emerges from its flower. In Andersen, a childless woman consults a witch about getting a baby for herself. The witch gives the woman a barleycorn. She tells her to plant it, and wait for what will happen. A flower grows from the seed. The woman kisses the flower, and it pops open to reveal tiny Thumbelina.
One night, Thumbelina is asleep in her walnut-shell cradle. She is carried off by a toad who creeps through a window. The toad wants the tiny maiden as a bride for her son. She steals the child and puts Thumbelina on a lily pad for safekeeping. With the help of friendly fish and a white butterfly, Thumbelina escapes the toad and her son. She drifts away on the lily pad.
She is captured by a cockchafer (beetle). The insect discards her when his friends reject her company. Thumbelina tries to protect herself from the cold weather. When winter comes, she is in desperate straits. She is finally given shelter by an old field mouse. Thumbelina tends her little house in gratitude.
The mouse suggests Thumbelina marry her neighbor, a scholarly and well-to-do mole. Thumbelina finds the idea of being married to such a creature repulsive. After all, he spends all his days underground and never sees the sun or sky. The field mouse does not listen to Thumbelina's protests. She continues to urge the marriage. At the last minute, Thumbelina flies away with a swallow to a far, sunny land. Thumbelina brought the swallow back to health during the winter and they have been friends ever since.
In a field of flowers, Thumbelina meets a tiny flower-fairy prince just her size and to her liking. They wed. She receives a pair of wings to fly with her husband on his travels from flower to flower. She is given a new name, Maia. In the last page of the story, the swallow has flown to a poet's window (probably Andersen's window), and tells the poet the complete story of Thumbelina's adventures.
Background[change | change source]
Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark on 2 April 1805. His father was Hans Andersen, a shoemaker. His mother was Anne Marie Andersdatter.[1] H. C. Andersen was an only and a spoiled child. Andersen shared a love of books with his father. His father read him The Arabian Nights and the fables of Jean de la Fontaine. Together, they built panoramas, pop-up pictures, and toy theatres. Father and son took long walks into the countryside.[2]
Andersen's father died in 1816,[3] and, from then on, Andersen was on his own. In order to escape his poor, illiterate mother, he promoted his artistic talents to his neighbors. He presented himself before the cultured middle class of Odense, singing and reciting in their drawing-rooms. On 4 September 1819, the fourteen-year-old Andersen left Odense for Copenhagen with the few savings he had received from his performances. He had a letter of reference to the ballerina Madame Schall, and youthful dreams of becoming a poet, a ballet dancer, or an actor.[4]
After three years of disappointments, he finally found a supporter in Jonas Collin, the director of the Royal Theatre. Collin believed in the boy's potential. He secured funds from the king to send Andersen to a grammar school in Slagelse, a provincial town in west Zealand. He expected that Andersen would continue his education at Copenhagen University at the right time.
At Slagelse, Andersen was instructed by Simon Meisling. This man was a short, stout, balding thirty-five-year-old classicist and translator of Virgil's Aeneid. Andersen was not the brightest student in the class. He was given generous doses of Meisling's contempt.[5] "You're a stupid boy who will never make it," Meisling told him.[6] Meisling is believed to be the model for the learned mole in "Thumbelina".[7]
Fairy tale and folklorists Iona and Peter Opie have suggested that "Thumbelina" is a "distant tribute" to Andersen's confidante, Henriette Wulff. She was the small, frail, hunchbacked daughter of the Danish translator of Shakespeare. She loved Andersen as Thumbelina loves the swallow;[8] however, no written evidence exists to support the theory.[7]
Sources and inspirations[change | change source]
"Thumbelina" is Andersen's invention, but he took inspiration from the traditional English fairy tale of "Tom Thumb". Other inspirations were the six-inch Lilliputians in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Voltaire's short story, "Micromégas" with its cast of huge and tiny peoples, and E. T. A. Hoffmann's hallucinatory, erotic tale "Meister Floh". In Hoffmann's tale, a tiny lady torments the hero. A tiny girl also appears in Andersen's prose fantasy, "A Journey on Foot from Holmen's Canal to the East Point of Amager" (1828).[7][9] A literary image similar to Andersen's tiny being inside a flower is found in E. T. A. Hoffmann's "Princess Brambilla" (1821).[10]
Publication and critical reception[change | change source]
Andersen published two installments of his first collection of Fairy Tales Told for Children in 1835. The first installment was published in May, and the second in December. "Thumbelina" was first published in the December installment by C. A. Reitzel on 16 December 1835 in Copenhagen. "Thumbelina" was the first tale in the booklet. The booklet included two other tales: "The Naughty Boy" and "The Traveling Companion". The story was republished in collected editions of Andersen's works in 1850 and 1862.[11]
The first reviews of the seven tales of 1835 did not appear until 1836. The Danish critics were not enthusiastic. They thought the informal, chatty style of the tales and their lack of morals were inappropriate in children's stories. One critic however acknowledge "Thumbelina" to be "the most delightful fairy tale you could wish for."[12]
The critics did not offer Andersen any encouragement. One literary journal never mentioned the tales at all. Another advised Andersen not to waste his time writing fairy tales. One critic stated that Andersen "lacked the usual form of that kind of poetry [...] and would not study models". Andersen felt he was working against their preconceived notions of what a fairy tale should be. He returned to writing novels. He believed it was his true calling.[13] The critical reaction to the 1835 tales was so harsh that Andersen waited an entire year before publishing "The Little Mermaid" and "The Emperor's New Clothes". These two tales appeared in the third and final installment of Fairy Tales Told for Children.
English translations[change | change source]
Mary Howitt was the first to translate "Tommelise" into English. She published it in 1846 as "Thumbelina" in Wonderful Stories for Children. However, she did not approve of the opening scene with the witch. Instead, she had the childless woman provide bread and milk to a hungry beggar woman. The woman was then rewarded with a barleycorn.[8]
Charles Boner also translated the tale in 1846 as "Little Ellie". Madame de Chatelain dubbed the child 'Little Totty' in her 1852 translation. The editor of The Child's Own Book (1853) called the child throughout, 'Little Maja'. H.W. Dulcken's widely published volumes of Andersen's tales appeared in 1864 and 1866.[8] Mrs. H.B. Paulli translated the name as 'Little Tiny' in the late-nineteenth century.[14]
In the twentieth century, Erik Christian Haugaard translated the name as 'Inchelina' in 1974.[15] Jeffrey and Diane Crone Frank translated the name as 'Thumbelisa' in 2005.[16] Modern English translations of "Thumbelina" are found in the six-volume complete edition of Andersen's tales from the 1940s by Jean Hersholt. Erik Christian Haugaard's translation of the complete tales was published in 1974.[17]
Commentaries[change | change source]
Fairy tale researchers and folklorists Iona and Peter Opie consider "Thumbelina" an adventure story from the feminine point of view. They believe the story's moral is, people are happiest with their own kind. Thumbelina is a passive character and the victim of circumstances, they point out, whereas her male counterpart Tom Thumb (one of the tale's inspirations) is an active character. He makes himself felt, and exerts himself.[8]
Folklorist Maria Tatar sees "Thumbelina" as a runaway bride story. She notes that it has been viewed as an allegory about arranged marriages. She points out that "Thumbelina" is a fable about being true to one's heart. "Thumbelina" upholds the traditional notion that the love of a prince is to be valued above all else.
Tatar points out that in Hindu belief, a thumb-sized being known as the innermost self or soul dwells in the heart of all beings, human or animal. This concept may have migrated to European folklore, then taken form as Tom Thumb and Thumbelina. Both characters seek transfiguration and redemption. She detects parallels between Andersen's tale and the Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter, Persephone. Notwithstanding the pagan associations and allusions in the tale, she notes that "Thumbelina" repeatedly refers to Christ's suffering and resurrection, and the Christian concept of salvation.[18]
Andersen biographer Jackie Wullschlager writes that "Thumbelina" was the first of Andersen's tales to dramatize the sufferings and hardships of one who is different. As a result of being different, Thumbelina becomes the object of mockery. It was also the first of Andersen's tales to use the swallow as the symbol of the poetic soul. Andersen identified with the swallow as a migratory bird whose pattern of life his own traveling days were beginning to resemble.[19]
Roger Sale believes Andersen's feelings of social and sexual inferiority were expressed in the tale by creating characters that are inferior to their beloveds. The Little Mermaid, for example, has no soul while her human beloved has a soul as his birthright. In "Thumbelina", Andersen suggests the toad, the beetle, and the mole are Thumbelina's inferiors. They should remain in their places rather than wanting their superior. Sale indicates they are not inferior to Thumbelina but simply different. He suggests that Andersen may have done some damage to the animal world when he colored his animal characters with his own feelings of inferiority.[20]
Jacqueline Banerjee views the tale as a story about failure. "Not surprisingly," she writes, ""Thumbelina" is now often read as a story of specifically female empowerment."[21] Susie Stephens believes Thumbelina herself is a grotesque. She observes that "the grotesque in children's literature is [...] a necessary and beneficial component that enhances the psychological welfare of the young reader". Children are attracted to the cathartic qualities of the grotesque, she suggests.[22]
Sidney Rosenblatt in his essay, "Thumbelina and the Development of Female Sexuality" believes the tale may be analyzed from the perspective of Freudian psychosexual development. He believes the story is one of female masturbation. Thumbelina herself, he posits, could symbolize the clitoris, her rose petal coverlet the labia, the white butterfly "the budding genitals", and the mole and the prince the anal and vaginal openings respectively.[23]
Adaptations[change | change source]
Thumbelina has been adapted to different media. The earliest animated version of the tale is a silent, black-and-white release by director Herbert M. Dawley in 1924. Lotte Reiniger released a 10-minute movie adaptation in 1954 featuring her "silhouette" puppets.
Don Bluth's full-length animated movie, Thumblina may be one of the best known versions. The story was also adapted to the live-action television program, Faerie Tale Theatre. This production starred Carrie Fisher. The direct-to-DVD animated movie, Barbie Presents Thumbelina was released in 2009. Russia and Japan have also released animated productions.
