Friedman said the carrier plans to modernize its colors as well. "Airbus aircraft are made from composites, which can't be polished," he said. "So we're evaluating the look and feel of the exterior, evaluating a lot of different options. American is an iconic American brand, but we feel that with the level of investment we have a terrific opportunity to modernize our brand."
Among American competitors, Southwest (LUV) has orders for 350 Boeing 737s, of various types. United (UAL) has about 270 aircraft on order. Delta (DAL) has 100 new 737-900ERs on order as well as 88 used Boeing 717s. JetBlue has orders for 80 aircraft. US Airways has 66 Airbus aircraft on order, including 58 narrowbodies and eight A-330s.
Regarding the narrowbodies, American said its transcontinental A321 flights will all provide three-class service, lie-flat seats and screens at every seat, with varying levels of free entertainment. Various carriers including US Airways and Spirit fly the A321 on transcontinental flights, but none offer three-class service.
Currently, American offers transcontinental service with about 15 older 767-200s with three class service and 169 seats, including 10 in first and 30 in business. The new A321s will have just 102 seats, including 10 in first, 20 in business and 72 in coach including 36 with extra legroom. That is not a lot of seats. US Airways flies the A321 with 183 seats, including 167 in coach. Spirit operates the aircraft with 218 seats. It appears American will continue to bet, as it has with a "cornerstone strategy" that involves operating hubs in highly contested business markets, that it can attract more premium passengers than its peers."American won't be able to charge more (than others)," said aviation consultant Robert Mann. "However, if its revenue management works properly, 44% fewer coach seats should reduce the need to sell junk fares and thus improve the onboard fare mix and the (revenue per available seat mile.) Meanwhile, on the cost side "A321 hourly and trip costs are less than half those of an aging 767-200, so on 40% fewer seats, you have a lower (cost per available seat mile.)," Mann said.

Single? Libertarian? Obviously Most of us are not Feverishly Looking for Love but Can We Find it at the Daily Paul?Submitted by vinceableworld on Mon, 12/31/2012 - 23:01
Please comment if you're currently single and you would like others at the DP to know. As I just commented on another post I've been waiting for the day when someone comes along who would like to stand by my side in this battle for liberty.
I asked a question in chat a few minutes ago:
"Why is there such a shortage of libertarian women?"
The answer was that "Women like to feel safe."
Okay granted a lot of us get into a lot of trouble simply because we assert our rights. Where are the women who find that sort of thing attractive? Our society in this country has gone downhill... perhaps one of the primary reasons is because most women drop men like a bad habit as soon as they prove themselves to not be compliant and especially do not want to be with someone who "questions authority."
When did having a moral compass and unshakable principles become so unattractive?

Sunny and Warm...
I hear that the heat in Florida is getting a bit too much with all these weather changes... South Carolina is looking good. Here on the Mason Dixon line, global warming has allowed me to grow fall crops like lettuce and cabbage into mid November and this year up thru December. Heck the grass was stll green a few days ago prior to the recent snow.

It's been super cold down here for years now. I am lovin' it too. The Florida Peach and macadamia trees are the new thing. They are cold hardy. Y'all will have to get your orange juice from somewhere else.
Add me...

South Florida
Where in South Florida?
I am looking for a tall, dark, and dangerous gentleman with a great big mustache and a pony tail.
Did you notice the unibrow?
I forgot to mention that I am fond of
them it to.
Single and looking. :)
So far, in all the wrong places....may as well try looking on the DP. ;)
"Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid." - Ronald Reagan
Feel free to drop me a line :-P
Happy New Year to all btw :)
I wouldn't say it's
That we like to "feel safe" (though stability is something most women look for in a man) so much as it is that once we decide things are a certain way and start to build our lives around that presumption it's going to be pretty difficult to convince us to change our way of thinking.
My situation is a little different though... I am speaking as a happily married woman who hasn't "dated" for 15+ years. I was who brought the liberty movement into our relationship... we were both pretty serious neocons prior to finding Dr. Paul.
Regardless, there are liberty minded ladies out there... there were lots of women in Tampa. I didn't feel near as outnumbered there as I do here on DP. Perhaps you can find one who doesn't have strong political preferences yet and help her find her way to liberty?
Ron Paul convert from the Heart of Dixie
Been there done that.
Not too willing to try it again. Thanks for your comment though :)
Sorry it's all I've got!!
I wish you luck though!! I do understand how difficult it is to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't (maybe just not yet) think like you. I went down this rabbit hole a whole lot faster than my husband did. Some days I think he's still a work in progress. ;)

Maybe this will help..
"What if the American people learn the truth" - Ron Paul
What do you bitches know about money?
The the jerk pulls our a wad of FRNs.. I'm really sorry I was not in that line up..
I would have said: "got gold?"
I have noticed...
There are some types of women out there that demand obedience and not much else. That's not to say that all of them are like that. Everyone has their faults.
Therein lies the fundamental problem.
As libertarians... we don't like ANYONE telling us what to do. I once spoke with an old guy who was married for over 50 years. I asked him what's his secret and he says "She's the boss."
Those guys don't really seem real happy.
Here's A Different View...
Couple was celebrating their 50th wedding and I was their waiter a few year back... I asked them their secret:
Chipper Man... "Fight Fight Fight"
Spritely Woman... "Then Kiss n Make Up, That's the Best Part"
Ramblin Randy
Do us women a favor
and try not to generalize us. We are all unique, and beautiful in our own way. There are plenty of women who love liberty. Perhaps if a change is needed, it is in yourself, not the women? Maybe it even has nothing to do with your beliefs, just sayin?
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
-Thomas Paine
My bad
was not my intent. No I actually like me just the way I am. Not willing to change... in fact I'm not able to change. I've tried that too many times... I really don't like me when I change. If you see my comment below you will read how they don't like me once I change either.
I have no issues with initial attraction. I think they are initially attracted to the qualities I mentioned in the post however after a while they realize I REALLY AM on a mission... it wasn't just a figure of speech.
Here's how I see it. For every 7-10 people in this country there is one patriot. That means the patriots need to work at least 7 times as hard as the people not pulling their weight if we've got a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding in the goal.
Doesn't leave a heck of a lot of time for romance. I have seen some women out there who believe the cause itself is romantic. I could definitely see myself getting along great with someone who had a genuine interest in it... and hence a real love for who she is instead of a building sense of contempt that she's one of those 7-10 people who would rather bury their heads in the sand.
I'd like to know
What action(s) are you taking that require such effort? There is a lot of good in this world that could be done by simply not doing things.
As for romance, my suggestion would be to find a chick that smokes a lot of weed, or just settle for a relationship with a plant.
Just go caveman. Worked for me.
But things do have there drawback though. Like "keepin time," that sun dial wrist watch. Then there's that rabbit on top the TV, he keeps movin and the channel goes out, gettin tired of havin to run to get the car goin, it's wearin my shoes out.

The caveman approach
was the first thing the feminist movement did away with. However I don't really have any urges to club a woman over the head and drag her back to the cave by her hair... I'd kinda like it to be her choice too.
Ug! Summore.....
You gotta cave too? COOL! I knew even you had a little cave man in ya.
Yeah I know watchya mean about the drag em around by the hair thing, it waz really wearin my arm out.....
At first 'bonk' we both got along really well and she was stary-eyed and all for daze.
But I don't know sumthins changed. We decided to go back to livin in this new modern society and all, now I gotta new-times watch, new-times TV & car but were still usin them 'fossil fuels' (I know, I know, don't even go there).
But I dunno, for sum reason this new-times society kinda sucks, in it's own way. I just dunno, we got kinda burnt out with livin the old ways and now we find were not to keen on these new wayz either.
Well, ya know what they say about the grass bein greener on the other side, so were still searchin. Hey know what barrok means in cave man?
Well anywayz, like I said, as of last night, times are a changin. Now she's draggin me around by the.....

You should check out the Vice
You should check out the Vice Documentary on Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan.
There, if you don't kidnap a woman, you just don't love her.
My take
I do not think that having a moral compass makes someone unattractive, I think what scares some females away from the libertarian party is the idea that it is "extreme." Most females I know tend to shy away from anything considered extreme, and the media along with the two other parties have put a lot of effort into making the libertarian party look like an extremist group.
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
― Dr. Seuss
the media along with the two
...the media along with the two other parties have put a lot of effort into making libertarianism look extreme.
Your statement, a keen one, is an understatement. Sad too. Dinosaur tear drop sized sad.
Few people distinguish between freedom and tyranny and which of those two conditions balance resides in and unbalance resides in. Sure, everyone commits oversights and has foibles. The freedom individual, a person who learns constantly because he is reflective, learns from his errors. The nonfreedom person, yikes. He goes headstrong into wrongness and lashes out if someone attempts to nudge him to self reflection, the time spent at the position of someone receiving his activity and the relationship between his position and that person's position. Our country has problems, big problems.

Aimee Frierson
Assistant Director
Parent & Family Programs
Initially, my career goal was to be a counselor for children and adolescents and my hope was to one day open a private practice. While pursuing a Masters in Social Work degree, I had the opportunity to serve as a Graduate Assistant in Career Services. This is where I discovered the world of Higher Education and found that I really enjoyed working with college students. Upon graduating, I worked outside of the Higher Education field for two years before starting at LSU as an Academic Counselor in the Center for Freshman Year (UCFY).
During my time in UCFY, I quickly realized that parents of this generation of students are heavily involved in the lives of their students. I had the opportunity to work with these parents through phone and email communication and during Orientation as a bus tour guide and moderator of a parent and student panel discussion. Working with parents was certainly interesting and most definitely rewarding. Parents are so appreciative of any information they can have to assist their student have a successful transition to college. When LSU had an opening within the Office of Orientation working with their Parent & Family Programs, I jumped at the chance to apply and make working with parents my full-time job. I enjoyed the fact that Higher Education utilized my counseling skills while also allowing me to take more of an administrative role in the profession.
My advice for students considering going into student affairs is to get as much experience as possible as both an undergraduate and while in graduate school through volunteer opportunities, job shadowing, internships, and assistantships. I would never have realized how much I enjoyed working in this field if it was not for my Graduate Assistantship in Career Services. If possible, get experience at different institutions, the more diverse your experiences are the better. You don't have to reinvent the wheel, research and reach out to other institutions to find out what peer institutions are doing and what has been successful and not so successful at their institution. Everyone I have met in the Higher Education field across the country has always been eager to help out fellow programs and share their success stories.

Chaplain Speaks Out – Did the Media Blow The Story?
By Harold Hutchison
A chaplain who was awarded the Bronze Star has spoken out about the tour – and what appears to have been misleading media coverage. In an interview with TheBlaze.com, Lt. Col. Jon Trainer, USAF, discussed the award and the PowerPoint presentation that has generated controversy.
The presentation, which was titled, "Proper Handling and Disposal of Islamic Religious Material," was written in the wake of the accidental burning of defaced Korans by American troops. The resulting riots when the news broke lead to 30 deaths, including two U.S. troops.
Initial coverage of the medal in conservative media outlets lead former Congressman Allen West to post a message from a fellow chaplain on Facebook, "The National Review Online is running an article about CH (LTC) Jon Trainer implying that he received the Bronze Star for creating a PowerPoint presentation. This is false! I served with Jon Trainer in Kabul, Afghanistan and he is one of the finest men and chaplains I have ever worked with in almost 22 years. He received the Bronze Star for his cumulative meritorious service during his overall deployment to the combat zone."
Trainer told TheBlaze.com, "It was simply informing our troops, 'You're in a different culture. They have a different set of values than you do.'"
"We were simply trying to help soldiers identify Islamic religious material and then know how to approach it and…dispose of it," he explained to the news site founded by talk-show host Glenn Beck. "Our bottom line was — if you encounter any kind of material that you think could be religious material, we [wanted] Afghan mullahs to deal with that material…so that our actions [couldn't] be misinterpreted as being disrespectful of their holy scriptures."
In one small bit of irony, the chaplain, an evangelical Christian, wrote his thesis for his master's degree on undermining radical Islam by using various "instruments of power."

Fat Talk Free Week: A Success Among UNH Students
Have you noticed the table at the MUB promoting Fat Talk Free Week? How about the shirts around campus reading, "Friends Don't Let Friends Fat Talk"? Have you been wondering what all the hoopla is over 'fat talk'? If so, you've come to the right place to learn!
Fat Talk Free Week was established by Delta Delta Delta to raise awareness of the dangers of 'fat talk' and the impact it has on self-esteem and confidence levels of women throughout the world. "Does my butt look fat in these jeans?" "I need to lose a few pounds." "You look great, have you lost weight?" These are all examples of 'fat talk' that reinforce the thin ideal and contribute to body dissatisfaction. In stating these 'fat talk' phrases we, in a way, are judging ourselves and putting ourselves down. The goal of Fat Talk Free Week is to stop people, primarily women, from using these phrases in order to focus more on health and less on the thin ideal.
Today, more than 10 million women are battling eating disorders in our country, primarily due to the thin ideal put forth by society. In utilizing Fat Talk Free Week we, as a whole, are trying to stop individuals throughout the nation from judging and critiquing themselves by using 'fat talk.' As individuals begin to notice the 'fat talk' in their lives, they can stop it at the source. Rather than comparing ourselves to the abnormally skinny models we see in magazines and on the television, we can begin to accept our bodies and learn to love ourselves for who we are. Fat Talk Free Week was a huge success at UNH and could be the start of an anti-judging revolution.

DIVA Artist-in-residence program
DIVA (Danish International Visiting Artists Programme) is a Danish artist-in-residence programme intended primarily to develop the Danish arts scene through the dialogue arising from contact between foreign artists and exponents of the arts in Denmark.
The DIVA program makes it possible for artistic and cultural institutions, local authorities and other professional actors in the field to invite foreign artists and artistic groups to stay in Denmark for an extended period – typically 1-3 months.
Those invited must be professional artists in one of the genres covered by the Danish Arts Council: visual arts, music, literature, and performing arts. Artists not working within these four branches of the arts (i.e. architects, designers, film directors, etc.) are not eligible unless their work is deemed to contribute to the development of the genres covered by the programme.
Living space is provided.

Washington briefing: U.S. signs security charter with Ukraine, plans one with Georgia
Published: Saturday December 27, 2008
A Charter on Strategic Partnership between Ukraine and the United States was signed last week in Washington and a similar deal is in the works with Georgia.
Earlier this year, the United States lobbied NATO to grant a membership action plan (MAP) to both countries, but faced opposition from European countries careful not to further aggravate relations with Russia.
The charters with Ukraine and Georgia are reportedly modeled on the U.S.-Baltic charter signed with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in 1998. The three countries joined NATO in 2004.
The U.S.-Ukraine charter signed on December 19 by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Ukrainian foreign minister Volodymyr Ogryzko calls for mutual "support for each other's sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and inviolability of borders [as] the foundation of our bilateral relations.
The defense section of the charter calls for expansion of bilateral security cooperation and recalls NATO support for eventual Ukrainian membership.
The economic section includes a specific reference to Crimea, which is home to a Russian naval base and where the United States is planning to establish a diplomatic presence.
The charter's two other sections are dedicated to democracy building and people-to-people contacts. As part of the latter section, the United States pledged to cooperate with Ukraine "to promote remembrance and increased public awareness of the 1932-33 Great Famine (Holodomor) in Ukraine."
In a press statement on December 23, the State Department confirmed that a similar charter is being prepared with Georgia, whose foreign minister Grigol Vashadze said that it was expected to be signed before the New Year.
One of Georgian opposition leaders, Kakha Kukava, said on December 23 that the charter should be first discussed publicly.
"The Conservative Party welcomes cooperation with the Western partners, but we believe, that Georgia's current authorities no longer have a mandate to unilaterally take decisions related with the country's long-term security issues," civil.ge cited Mr. Kukava as saying. "Georgia should be insured from new irresponsible and provocative actions of the Saakashvili regime."

If you own a car there is no financial incentive to use public transport as you've pointed out but if you don't then the price can be competitive. Shouldn't really be that way I agree especially as more often than not the stations are miles away from where you need to be and the trains run at times that don't suite your needs. But more often than not fule is the only factor people cosider in the cost of journeys.
Infact all the political parties support this at the moment.
Adding more lines is expensive as I said. Adding some in some areas and then not others will just add bottlenecks.
There are two ways to do business -
Either stack them high and sell them cheap or sell them high and sell a few. The Government clearly have decided that increasing prices with inflation is going to help public transport. If it made financial sense I would use public transport, even though I have a car I own outright. It most cases it doesn't and running my own business I know so
@zag - Feel free to disagree, you're your own man If we all agreed life would certainly be boring wouldn't it? I agree Labour did propose it (I can't remember when in their 13 year term), but still, should it take years and years for politicians to mutually agree on such a project?
Robz (29th January 2013)
How about spending the 32 billion (and likely to double if other infrastructure projects are anything to go by) on bringing back the regional railways that were cut after Beeching. Improve the core rail network and send freight up off peak times to regional distribution depots getting the freight off the main roads. Another fast route and expensive route into London is not what we all want. Yes London is important and contributes 8% of GDP but the rest of the country contributes 92%, this is the real area for growth. It's unlikely the bulk of the public will be able to afford tickets on HS2, it simply doesn't add up now. I goto see family in Surrey from my home in Newcastle, the training for 3 of us is £300 return, plus the hassle of getting a toddler across London for a connection, it takes 5 hours. Driving takes the same time and costs £100 for diesel.
The London Metropolitan area generates 30% of the UK's GDP, not 8%, or if you limit it to London alone, its 20%.
The point of this line is not to help London! It is to help other cities. So, businesses don't just go "we have to be in London, because being anywhere else is too difficult as we can't carry out business easily with people in London", instead they can set up in Leeds or Birmingham and be able to get to London in a small amount of time.
I can't help but think that an awful lot of people are being very short-term about this. ie. 'people right now won't use it', well of course they won't, but then most people didn't use the original train systems when they were built!
And when counting up the cost of travel, make sure you include the other costs of your vehicles such as insurance, MOT, 'road tax', servicing, cleaning, parking, etc...
That £100 in fuel suddenly becomes quite a lot more.

2) Small amount of time? The journeys are not going to be that quicker. I don't think that the small decrease in time is going to result in offices springing up elsewhere.
As for car costs, as someone pointed out earlier, the costs are normally spread out over multiple journeys so whilst journeys do cost more than just fuel, the "extras" aren't normally that much extra.
Sorry to seem like I'm singling you out, but:I've not seen any evidence of that - no-one has published any that I've seen anyway! And the media would've usually jumped all over it.I'm sure I read that in France it just led to more growth in Paris as people set up business there (more money around, easier to get to) and similarly in (I think) Spain.
Car cost? Reasonable second hand car, £3k. Insurance? £600 a year. MOT £60 + whatever extra it costs. Tax, £150 a year. Cleaning, £30 a year if you want to look after it. Servicing, £500 a year maybe?As for car costs, as someone pointed out earlier, the costs are normally spread out over multiple journeys so whilst journeys do cost more than just fuel, the "extras" aren't normally that much extra.
So suddenly, that cost isn't so small!
Personally, I couldn't give a monkey's either way.
By the time it is "delivered" the opposition of the day will be calling the government out for the massive waste of public money. The government will be saying how important it is for the country etc etc etc.....and on it goes.
Public transport will NEVER* be the preferred mode of transport whilst it remains so expensive.**
*NEVER = in my foreseeable lifetime
** This IS just opinion and NOT fact
quick calculation including cost of fuel as two grand over the year. (I divided car cost by 10 assuming you own the car for 10 years.) so £3640 total a year, divide that by 10000 miles a year = £0.364 a mile.
It costs me £1.60 one way into town on a bus, 1.5 miles away = £1.066 a mile, so 10000 miles a year = £10666.666
Either my maths is wrong or your argument that public transport is cheaper is wrong. I think it's the latter.

Charlie Trotter accused of selling bogus $46K wineJune 14, 2013 @ 1:38 pm
CHICAGO (AP) - Award-winning chef Charlie Trotter is being sued by two New York wine collectors who say he sold them a bottle of wine for more than $46,000 that wasn't what it said on the label.
The federal lawsuit filed Thursday in Chicago accuses Trotter and one of his wine experts of duping them into buying what they thought was a magnum of 1945 Romanee-Conti from the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti winery in June 2012.
The collectors, Bekim and Ilir Frrokaj (Beh-KEEM' and ih-LEER' FRO'-kuh), say an appraisal firm concluded the bottle was counterfeit.
They are seeking damages of more than $76,000. They accuse Trotter and his company of violating Illinois consumer fraud laws.
An attorney for Trotter, John Riccione, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on Friday.

One of the oldest law firms in the Arkansas River Valley, The Gordon Law Firm has maintained a general law practice since 1910. The firm's practice has changed to meet the changes in society. The constant factor has been the personal contact with the clients. The firm has tried many landmark tort decisions.
Gordon, Caruth & Virden's roots trace back to 1909 when Edward Gordon, Sr. began practicing just adjacent to the Conway County Courthouse in Morrilton, Arkansas. Following Edward Gordon, Sr.'s death in 1939, the practice was continued by his two sons, Edward Gordon, Jr., deceased, and Nathan G. Gordon, now Of Counsel.
The firm today continues its practice from the same address and is the oldest continuous law firm in Conway County. The firm today consists of three attorneys, partners Edward Allen Gordon, Ben H. Caruth and Bart F. Virden. Throughout its history, the firm has placed high value on public service. Edward Gordon, Jr. served in the Arkansas House of Representatives and on various state and local boards and commissions. Nathan G. Gordon served as Lieutenant Governor of Arkansas for twenty years and was the first president of the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association. Since then both Edward Allen Gordon and Bart F. Virden have served as president of ATLA. Edward Allen Gordon has served eighteen years in the Arkansas Senate. Ben H. Caruth has served as Chief Deputy Prosecutor for this district. Bart Virden has served as Deputy Prosecutor and is currently City Attorney for the City of Morrilton.
Today the firm maintains a diversified practive with an emphasis on personal injury, social security disability, domestic relations litigation, real estate, and probate practice.

Republic of the Philippines
G.R. No. 79974 December 17, 1987
ULPIANO P. SARMIENTO III AND JUANITO G. ARCILLA, petitioners,
SALVADOR MISON, in his capacity as COMMISSIONER OF THE BUREAU OF CUSTOMS, AND GUILLERMO CARAGUE, in his capacity as SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF BUDGET, respondents, COMMISSION ON APPOINTMENTS, intervenor.
Once more the Court is called upon to delineate constitutional boundaries. In this petition for prohibition, the petitioners, who are taxpayers, lawyers, members of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines and professors of Constitutional Law, seek to enjoin the respondent Salvador Mison from performing the functions of the Office of Commissioner of the Bureau of Customs and the respondent Guillermo Carague, as Secretary of the Department of Budget, from effecting disbursements in payment of Mison's salaries and emoluments, on the ground that Mison's appointment as Commissioner of the Bureau of Customs is unconstitutional by reason of its not having been confirmed by the Commission on Appointments. The respondents, on the other hand, maintain the constitutionality of respondent Mison's appointment without the confirmation of the Commission on Appointments.
Because of the demands of public interest, including the need for stability in the public service, the Court resolved to give due course to the petition and decide, setting aside the finer procedural questions of whether prohibition is the proper remedy to test respondent Mison's right to the Office of Commissioner of the Bureau of Customs and of whether the petitioners have a standing to bring this suit.
By the same token, and for the same purpose, the Court allowed the Commission on Appointments to intervene and file a petition in intervention. Comment was required of respondents on said petition. The comment was filed, followed by intervenor's reply thereto. The parties were also heard in oral argument on 8 December 1987.
This case assumes added significance because, at bottom line, it involves a conflict between two (2) great departments of government, the Executive and Legislative Departments. It also occurs early in the life of the 1987 Constitution.
The task of the Court is rendered lighter by the existence of relatively clear provisions in the Constitution. In cases like this, we follow what the Court, speaking through Mr. Justice (later, Chief Justice) Jose Abad Santos stated in Gold Creek Mining Corp. vs. Rodriguez, 1 that:
The fundamental principle of constitutional construction is to give effect to the intent of the framers of the organic law and of the people adopting it. The intention to which force is to be given is that which is embodied and expressed in the constitutional provisions themselves.

The second screen: your backstage pass to this year's Oscars
By now, most people know that Seth McFarlane will host the 85th Academy Awards this Sunday night. But as Joan Rivers proved, the pre-show and all happenings behind-the-scenes are just as important to viewers. This year, actress Kristin Chenoweth, Entertainment Weekly Managing Editor Jess Cagle, and Good Morning America's Lara Spencer will host the official pre-show, and each made the announcement via Twitter. Also, in a big surprise announcement, Robin Roberts also tweeted that she would be making her return to TV to help co-host.
Complementing the telecast is Backstage Pass, a second screen Oscar experience accessible via Oscar.com and the official Oscar app. For red carpet fashion lovers, second screen use is a must. The Backstage Pass, sponsored by Samsung, will feature 20 live cameras places around the red carpet, and will be hosted by Mashable's Brian Hernandez, The View's Sherri Shepherd, television personality Cameron Mathison, Modern Family's Rico Rodriquez, [Manny Delgado], Entertainment Weekly's Jess Cagle, and PEOPLE's Peter Castro. PEOPLE will sponsor the Oscars Fan Experience, with Castro and Rodriquez co-hosting. They will provide social feedback as celebs walk the red carpet.
The second screen experience will give fans access to host Seth MacFarlane and the producers as they prepare for the show, along with information about nominees. Fans can also fill out a ballot with their picks, which they can then share to Facebook. The ballot will update in real-time, allowing for comparison among Facebook friends.
Here's how the hosts made the announcement:
@jesscagleew I'm so excited to announce I will be hosting the #Oscars Pre-Show Live from LA on Sunday February 24!

TB Notes Newsletter
No. 2, 2010
The following article by CEBSB staff member Ije Agulefo first appeared in the Spring 2010 issue of the Northeastern Spotlight, the newsletter of the New Jersey Medical School Global Tuberculosis Institute. It is reprinted here in its entirety.
Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication: What TB Programs Need to Know
Crisis and emergency risk communication (also known as CERC) combines the urgency of disaster communication with the need to communicate risks, benefits, and needed action to stakeholders, healthcare providers, media, and the general public. CERC differs from risk communication in that:
- Communication decisions on how to respond to the crisis must be made within a short time constraint;
- These decisions may be irreversible;
- Outcomes of the decision may be uncertain; and
- Decisions may need to be made based on less than perfect or incomplete information.
Overall, CERC can minimize some of the harmful human behaviors that are known to arise during a crisis.
How can TB programs use CERC?
When people are faced with a crisis or emergency situation, they take in information differently, process information differently, and act on information differently. CERC principles can be extremely useful to TB programs during a TB outbreak or high profile event. When an outbreak occurs, there is often a sense of panic, fear, confusion, anxiety, and helplessness. Using CERC principles to disseminate information can help the public cope and instill a sense of empowerment within the community. Feeling empowered to take action reduces the likelihood of feeling victimized and alleviates fear. The use of an "action message" can provide people with the feeling that they can take steps to improve a situation. During a TB outbreak, effective communication provides information on useful resources for those affected. For example, during a TB outbreak, providing information on local sites to go for TB testing is a useful action message.
Five CERC principles to communicate messages successfully during a crisis or TB outbreak:
- Develop a solid communication plan. Your TB program's outbreak communication plan should be fully integrated into the overall program's emergency response plan. This plan should address all of the roles, responsibilities, and resources involved in providing information to the public, media, and partners during a TB outbreak. It should include such elements as a signed endorsement from the program's director, regional and local media contact, and staff responsibilities. The communication plan should be seen as a resource of information. In general, the public tends to judge the success of a response by the success of its communication plan during a crisis.
- Be the first source of information. It is important for the TB program to be the first source of information during a TB outbreak. The public sees the speed of useful information as a marker of preparedness. In addition, when people seek information about something unknown, the first message they receive tends to carry the most credibility. Therefore, it is important for the TB program to be the first source of information. For example, if your TB program's first message is, "Only people who spent extended time with the student with TB are at risk of developing the disease. We are contacting those persons to ensure they are tested," the audience will remember this message and accept it. Later, if a subsequent message from another source says, "Everyone should be tested for TB," the audience will compare the second message to the first message. They are more likely to accept the first one because it is from a credible source and it was the first message received.
- Express empathy early. Empathy is the ability to understand what another human being is feeling. Research has shown that it should be expressed within the first 30 seconds of message delivery. This is a very challenging but critical step in crisis communication. Empathy shows sincerity to the public, and also helps the public hear the message. For example: "We recognize that you are anxious about the recent TB outbreak and we understand your concern. We are available to answer questions that you may have about the situation."
- Show competence and expertise. Research shows that people believe that individuals in professional positions within respected organizations are experienced and competent. It is important to maintain the highest level of expertise as a way of fostering trust. When a TB outbreak occurs, provide necessary information to ensure the affected audience understands the situation. For example, provide the public with information on how TB is transmitted along with the signs and symptoms of the disease.
- Remain honest and open. In many cases, when information is being disseminated following an outbreak, everyone assumes that some information is being held back. For this reason, it is best to let the public, stakeholders, and the media know that they will be updated with information as it becomes available. For example, "Currently, we do not know if there are others who may have been infected or have TB disease. We will continue to update you as we learn more."
Message planning
Both the content as well as the method of message delivery during an outbreak are extremely important. Dissemination of appropriate messages to the community helps to reduce fear and anxiety. When developing CERC messages, it is critical that
- Affected audiences be identified;
- Key messages be developed with supporting facts included; and
- Effective dissemination channels be used.
When people are faced with a crisis, they want to receive messages that are accurate, helpful, timely, empathetic, short, and concise. Messages disseminated in response to a TB outbreak should follow the STARCC principle.
Messages should be:
- Simple
- Timely
- Accurate
- Relevant
- Credible
- Consistent
Working with the media
When a TB outbreak or high profile event occurs, it is very likely that it will generate media interest. Use the media to your advantage! The media can reach a large number of people quickly and can assist you with message dissemination. The media is attracted to messages that are convenient, simple, visual, and emotional. To assist with developing messages for the media, the key is to identify the single overriding communication objective, also known as the SOCO. The components of the SOCO include:
- Key point or objective. What is the most significant point in the message?
- 3-4 facts or statistics (e.g., how many people may have been affected?)
- The primary and secondary audience. Who are the populations of interest?
- One key message (e.g., the patient is currently undergoing treatment.)
- Contact information. Who can be reached for more information?
A SOCO worksheet is available in the publication: "Forging Partnerships to Eliminate Tuberculosis: A Guide and Toolkit" on the CDC website. View a sample single overriding communications objective (SOCO) worksheet (MS Word - 36kb)1
A spokesperson to represent your TB program should be identified to interact with the media during an outbreak. Having a spokesperson gives an identity to your program, and shows competence and expertise. Your spokesperson should be well trained, have the ability to effectively connect with the audience, and communicate accurate and useful information about an outbreak. It is important to include your spokesperson in message development. This helps to ensure that he or she "owns" the statements and will help convey confidence, believability, and trust. Your spokesperson should not only know the needs of the TB program, but should also show empathy to the affected audience. Your spokesperson should not: be defensive, express personal opinions, over-reassure nor use humor, jargon, one-liners, or clichés.
Partnerships and communication
Joining forces with your partners creates an opportunity to foster respect, trust, and commitment with your target audiences. In crisis communication planning, it is important to identify and involve your partners and stakeholders to gain access to their skills and resources. Partners can assist with developing messages that are appropriate, sustainable, and effective for the audience. When a TB outbreak occurs, providing timely and accurate information to key internal and external partners and stakeholders helps to strengthen existing relationships. To learn more about partnership planning, access the publication: "Forging Partnerships to Eliminate Tuberculosis: A Guide and Toolkit" on the CDC website and view Planning with Partners: Moving from Goals to Effective Action Checklist (MS Word - 34kb)2
Evaluation of messages
The key to communicating effectively during an outbreak is to evaluate messages at various stages of dissemination. Seeking audience feedback is useful to refine the communication strategy, and to improve the effectiveness of the messages.
The evaluation methods that should be used to evaluate risk communication messages are as follows:
- Formative evaluation is used to "pilot-test" messages prior to dissemination to the target audience. After messages are developed, share them with your internal and external partners to determine if the messages are clear and comprehensive. Feedback obtained can then be used to revise and improve the messages before they are disseminated widely.
- Process evaluation examines the procedures and tasks involved in implementing an activity, such as the channels of delivery and the number of messages disseminated. After the messages are disseminated, it is important to monitor the methods of message delivery (e.g., on-line, print distribution). In addition, also determine the number of materials distributed (e.g., number of factsheets disseminated to the public, number of public inquiries received as a result of the message).
- Outcome evaluation assesses the effectiveness of the messages being disseminated. The effectiveness can be determined by changes in the behavior of the target audience as a result of the messages received. Outcome evaluation can obtain descriptive data and show the immediate effects of the messages disseminated. For example, after disseminating messages following an outbreak, obtain data on the affected audience coming in for testing.
- Impact evaluation focuses on the long term effects of the messages being disseminated during an outbreak, such as number of persons with TB infection or TB disease identified. Impact evaluation is harder to accomplish because it is difficult to separate the impact of disseminated messages on the audience from the effects of other activities.
