A mall in the Bronx, which part? I hate the bronx!!! I always end up in CT when I try to drive there and the side walks have stairs and hills no bueno!
I am hysterical about the Mall idea, I grew up in the Bronx. I moved down south, and they would make mention of this "Mall" but they would say it with a southern A, it would sound like owe with an M in front. LOL… Yeah, I had never heard of a Mall being from the Bronx. Of course, since then I have been well traveled and I frequent the local malls weekly. Anyway, my little anecdote.
Regarding Joe Zee, excited to see what he will do with Yahoo. I am also excited about his input with Old Navy.
Seriously, I havent seen Ruby Woo on a person and didnt love it. All complexions.
Heading to the mall later! Finally! Can't wait!
I may be the only person Ruby Woo looks bad on. All the MAC girls hated it on me. I have seen it on many women but my undertones may be weird I guess. I have to wear Russian Red. I gets ton of compliments wearing it also.
*I get tons of…

I don't think I'll install anything from that site.I downloaded one of the screensavers and scanned the .exe file with avast and it found no threat but I was doing an online scan with Eset and when it finished it informed me that the screensaver .exe file was infected.Luckily I hadn't installed it yet.Thanks folks.

Depsite reports from al-Arabiya network that Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of Moammar Gaddafi, may also have died in Libya Thursday, the Libyan prime minister Mahmoud Jibril told The Post's Mary Beth Sheridan that Saif Gaddafi managed to escape and was still on the run.
Saif Gaddafi had been seen as the heir apparent to his father. A fluent English speaker, Gaddafi once was considered as Libya's liaison to the West. In 2008, he called for political reform in his country.
However, during the civil war, Saif Gaddafi played a large role in the crackdown of the rebels. In one of the more dramatic twists in the war, when Tripoli appeared poised to fall to the rebels, Saif Gaddafi appeared outside a compound in the capital city, shaking hands with loyalists and telling the Western media that his family was still very much in control of the country.

We were looking for a table with very specific coloring. As it turned out,our couch is gray so the gunmetal color of the support legs goes perfectly and our office furniture is light wood. We did a lot of research...and feel this was a very lucky find and an exactly what we were looking for!
Love this table! Totally simple assembly, very well made. It is actually pretty solid and heavy. It has a nice mid-century flare, and looks great with my pole lamp and wishbone chairs. Can't beat the price as well!

Starting a small business? Get all the help you can
'It's liberating to be doing something that you love'
Saturday 11 March 2006
All sorts of public and private sector organisations offer support to budding entrepreneurs, including financial help. Business development grants are available from sources including the Government, the European Union, regional development agencies, local Business Link offices, and several charities.
For example, Enterprise for All is a new project part- funded by the City of London Corporation, which offers help to unemployed people keen to start their own businesses. As well as financial help, the idea is to offer training on the skills needed to set up and run a small business. The scheme, run by the East London Small Business Centre, has so far provided £150,000 of new funding to start-ups.
Pearl Agbloe, from Manor Park in East London, trained as a hairdresser in the early Nineties. After her daughter was born, she decided to start her own small business - but no-one was prepared to back her dream. "None of the banks wanted to lend me money," she said, "and I didn't have the money to learn the skills I needed to set up a business."
Last year, Pearl discovered that the East London Small Business Centre provided free training to would-be small business owners. "I was a qualified hairdresser but I needed to do courses on things like putting a business plan together, and how to do all the paperwork to cope with issues like VAT."
Finally, in January, Pearl's application for a grant from Enterprise for All came through, and she was able to launch her own salon. "I've found running my business easier than I would have done without all the training I got," she said.
The best single source of information about grants for small enterprises is the Government-backed Business Link, an advisory service that operates through a network of local offices around the country.
A spokesman for Business Link explains the advantages of financing at least part of your venture in this way: "Generally you do not have to repay grants unless you break the conditions, and then you do not have to pay interest on them".
Grants are often linked to specific business areas - exporting, product development or training, for example - or to specific geographical areas, like the Enterprise for All scheme.
Start by working out what you need a grant to finance. For example, the Learning and Skills Council and some Business Links provide grants for training and skills development, while anyone unemployed or employed in a part-time or low-paid job, aged 18 to 30, and with a business idea, can apply for funds from the Prince's Trust. Use the Business Links network to identify which agency to approach. See www.businesslinks.gov.uk or call 0845 600 9006.
In most cases, small business owners have to put up some funds themselves - you might get 40 per cent of the amount you need to launch the company, say - which will require you to find finance elsewhere too.
However, even if you are struggling to make up the difference, don't despair. The Small Firms Loan Guarantee, a joint initiative from the DTI and a number of banks, offers help to small business owners struggling to get loans. In certain circumstances, entrepreneurs who don't have assets to put up as security may still be able to get a loan, because the Government will put up a guarantee against default.
Above all, a good business plan is crucial to attracting any of this help. Prospective entrepreneurs need to explain what their business will do in detail, and provide realistic financial forecasts. You will also need to demonstrate that you have done market research to establish there is a demand for your product.
Most organisations offering grants will be able to offer you advice on putting a business plan together.
Claire Knapp, from Brighton, has always known she wanted to run her own business. "Even as a child I used to make things to sell," she says. "I did some modelling when I was 18 or 19 which gave me a taste of what it was like working for myself, but in my twenties I then did all sorts of jobs and projects."
Having put spare cash into property for several years, Claire was eventually in a position to launch her own business, a complementary therapy centre in Brighton, which reflected her own passions. "It was half organic beauty salon and half alternative therapies," she said. "That's something I was brought up with so it seemed perfect."
However, after several years spent trying to establish the business, Claire began to realise it wasn't working and last year decided to close the centre. "It was heartbreaking but if something isn't right you have to pull the plug," she says.
In its place, Claire has launched a web-based business selling organic beauty products - www.theorganicsalon.com.
"It's a combination of my beliefs and the modern world," she said. "I love the flexibility of the internet, even though I'm here by myself working away."
Her tip for would-be entrepreneurs is to stick with it. "I did lose money on my first job, but I've tried to stay positive," she says. "Being in charge can be scary, when you know you have to pay your mortgage, for example, but it's also liberating to be doing something you're really passionate about."

Days Inn Toledo
Never again !!!
My reservations were made online nearly 2 wks before my arrival...my friend and I stayed here for 1 night, traveling from Pittsburgh for a friends wedding. Check in time is after 2pm (check out is 11am.) We ran into some bad thunderstorms that slowed down the commute. We arrived at the hotel at 3:30pm. It was still pouring down rain. A truck was parked in front of the covered entrance so we had to run with all of our stuff. The check in clerk said our room would be ready in 15 mins and he would let us know when it was ready. We were on a time crunch. If check out time was over 4 hours ago- why were there no rooms available???!!! The parking lot was nearly empty !!! Nearly 30 minutes later we decided to go up to our room to see what the hold up was because the clerk was no where to be found. The door was slightly opened, I knocked and a maintenance man told me there was a water main break and this room was'nt going to be used. If we would'nt have gone up to the room on our own- how long would we have continued to sit there???!!! Thankfully, a chambermaid, LUCY, was extremely helpful in busting her buns to get us into a room- we had to be at the wedding in 1/2 an hour. Lucy brought us extra towels and an iron. The bathroom door was too big for the door frame so we were'nt able to close it and the lamp did'nt even have a bulb in it.
When we arrived after the wedding around midnight- the same truck was still parked underneath the covered entrance (despite a sign stating no parking)...so I'm guessing it was a lazy and thoughtless employee who did'nt want to get wet.
You can tell this hotel is being renovated but the carpet in the hallways was all torn up in pieces and there were workman hanging outside of our room and at the crack of dawn they began working !!!
Check out time was just as rough, the woman behind the counter was so rude, she did'nt even ask how the stay was (I'm guessing they already know what everyones response will be.) I was next to check out behind a woman finishing up and the clerk took a random lady who walked right in front of me.
Trust me, spend a few extra dollars and stay someplace else.
Unique Quality: Lucy, the chambermaid was extremely helpful. The beds were comfy.

Any information on this cabinet appreciated!
I've had this piece over 20 years and use it in my dining room. It's 8' high and 4.5' wide and seems to be all original including the wrought iron key. I know nothing about it and would love to know approx. how old it is and where it came from.
Thanks in advance!
Where did you get it? Looks possibly German to be...
about 20 to 30 years ago, there were a lot of dealers who would go to Europe, load up a "container" and ship it to the US and sell it off.
Unless what you know is different, I'll bet that's where it came from.
Probably form the late 1800's...to early 1900's
Linda C
Looks like an artichoke, not a thistle, but then, an artichoke is a thistle, so nevermind. I don't think that this type of carving is necessarily indicative of the actual region in which the piece was made. Could be northern Italy, could be Switzerland, could be Austria, etc. It's a terrific cabinet.
I think you're right on the money. Did some googling after reading your post, and found examples of furniture very similar to mine, right down to the heads!
So the verdict seems to be French Ren.Revival, circa 1870
Thank you so much!!!!
@ ideefixe
It does look like an artichoke and I see now the carvings have little to do with country of origin. The carvings are exquisite and must have been done by a master.
One more question: Does anyone know what this piece would have originally been used for?
All the revivals are a bit of a "romantic" revival in that the victorians took a lot of license with design elements and mixed them together.
There is a Colonial Revival bank in my city that took all the Adam embellishments (tassels, swagged husks or bellflowers, anthemion)--and victorianized them while on LSD. There are ears of corn hanging off the swags and the ornamentation is all overscaled.
I think its a dining room sideboard essentially although the top looks like a cellaret or liquor cabinet.
I have a similar cabinet. Aren't they useful? I bought it about 12 years ago from a German woman who said she got it in France.
My old house has no downstairs closets and little kitchen cabinet space. I searched for a buffet to fit this space but many "serving" type buffets were too wide. I find this piece of furniture very useful. Linens and silver in the bottom and glassware, spices, and candles up top.

AFC North: Jordan Reffett
Steelers and Bengals make roster moves
August, 10, 2009
By James Walker | ESPN.com
Posted by ESPN.com's James Walker
The Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers combined for four roster moves Monday.
Pittsburgh signed former Ohio State center Alex Stepanovich to add depth to its offensive line. The Steelers recently lost guard and backup center Darnell Stapleton to knee surgery. To make room on the roster, Pittsburgh released defensive lineman Jordan Reffett.
The Bengals also terminated the contracts of two running backs in Kenny Watson and fullback J.D. Runnels. Watson was a solid contributor for the Bengals in previous years, but recent injuries for Watson and new additions to the position in the offseason made him expendable in Cincinnati.

Hi: 14° Lo:7°
By Laura Maltby Tuesday 04 December 2012 Updated: 05/12 07:45
A WARWICK man who was missing for two months before his body was found hanging from a tree left a note apologising for the pain he had caused family and friends.
The body of Brian Reading, of Cape Road, was discovered on September 25 by a Network Rail employee in an isolated culvert near Warwick Parkway Station. He had committed suicide.
An inquest at Warwickshire Justice Centre heard how Mr Reading – a type 2 diabetic – had been drinking excessively and taking drugs, despite the concerns of his partner.
And close friend of 28 years, Matthew Goode admitted Mr Reading's mood had deteriorated significantly in the months leading up to his death.
Mr Reading met Mr Goode on July 20 and spent the night and some of the next day at Mr Goode's flat watching horse racing and drinking beer before telling him around 4pm he was going home to sleep. Mr Goode expected a text message from his friend but it was the last time he saw him.
Mr Reading was reported missing by his family the day after his 43rd birthday on July 22 which prompted police to launch a search for Mr Reading, who was classed as a 'high-risk missing person' on account of his medical condition.
But two months on his body was found. Police subsequently discovered a suicide note written by Brian apologising for the pain he had put friends and family through.
Recording the verdict Mr Reading took his own life, coroner Sean McGovern said: "The cause of death by hanging is clear and from the note he left for his family it is clear he took his own life. I offer my condolences to his family."

q 1. I have some old dme that was lumpy, but breaks right up. OK to use in starter?
q 2. can I mix plain light dme and plain amber dme in starter?
q 3. how much dme for 2000 ml starter?
q 4. I can keep starter at 75-76* at my house or upper 60's in neighbor's basement (using a spin plate). who's house gets the starter?
1. It depends on how old that DME is. I believe it has a shelf life...especially if it's been opened previously. I'm not sure how long it lasts as I brew all-grain now and don't keep the stuff around.
2. Yes, you can mix extracts.
3. You'll need about 6oz. of DME for a 2000mL starter.
4. Stir plate takes the deal. Anytime you can make a starter with a stir plate, take the offer. I treat my starters just like I treat my beer. Temps may not be as big of a deal, but why get into nasty habits?
thanks. But either way I use the stir plate. I'm just wondering about temp?
75-76F is fine, just make sure the yeast and the wort are about the same temperature before you pitch.
I use 1 gram DME for every 10Ml of starter wort. Got this info from Jamil and it works great.

ROCKFORD — Winnebago County is one of the largest contributors to a nonprofit agency that provides helicopters on demand to law enforcement agencies in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.
ROCKFORD — Winnebago County is one of the largest contributors to a nonprofit agency that provides helicopters on demand to law enforcement agencies in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.
But the Law Enforcement Aviation Coalition has lost money two of the past three years, and Winnebago County officials say they don't require the agency to document — nor do they know — how it has spent $370,000 in taxpayer dollars directed to it since October 2007.
Still, the program has strong support among Winnebago County Board members and others who say LEAC provides a valuable service that local police departments couldn't afford on their own.
Echoing that sentiment are several leaders of Rock River Valley law enforcement agencies, a few of whom volunteer their time as LEAC board members.
But as Winnebago County wrestles with a projected $3 million shortfall in 2011, at least one board member is questioning whether the county's investment in LEAC is worthwhile.
"Let me say that I think it is a valuable program, but I consider (a helicopter) to be a luxury at this juncture of the economy," said Frank Gambino, the board's Republican majority leader. "I don't know that I'm going to ask for a complete budgetary elimination, but there has to be a way they can raise funds from other agencies."
Few records available
LEAC receives surplus helicopters from the Defense Department on the condition that the agency pay to maintain the helicopters and make them available to local law enforcement agencies upon request.
Tax returns show that LEAC's expenses outweighed its revenues in 2007 and 2009. It ended last year in the red by more than $46,000. In 2009 alone, the nonprofit spent $17,752.43 for fuel, $28,473 for insurance and $113,082.34 for repairs. LEAC officials declined to give the Register Star a complete list of its public and private donors and an accounting of all the law enforcement agencies it serves.
Winnebago County contributed $100,000 a year to LEAC for the past three years. This year, the county has paid $70,000 toward the salary of LEAC's sole full-time employee and chief pilot: former County Board member Randy Olson. Before that, the county has no record of how LEAC used its money.
"I do not have any information as to where the monies have been spent by LEAC," County Administrator Steve Chapman wrote in an e-mail to the Register Star. "They were not required to file that information with us."
Rockford heaviest user
The agency has provided Rockford police with helicopter service four times in July, including three occasions in which the helicopters aided police chasing fleeing felons.
LEAC was called on a mission 13 other times last month, including a July 1 call to help the Sauk County (Wis.) Sheriff's Department find a missing person, a July 17 water rescue in Milwaukee County and a July 20 call to the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department to locate a missing person.
Page 2 of 3 - Still, while Rockford was the heaviest LEAC user in July, it doesn't contribute to the program from its budget. Mayor Larry Morrissey believes that doing so would be tantamount to billing Rockford taxpayers twice.
"We very much appreciate the LEAC service that has been provided to the Rockford Police Department. However, we have made it very clear that due to our ongoing budget situation, we don't have the resources to contribute toward LEAC," he wrote in an e-mail to the Register Star.
"Given that city of Rockford taxpayers contribute a significant portion of the 1 percent Winnebago County public safety tax, we feel that Rockford taxpayers are contributing toward this service, and we thank Winnebago County for its willingness to support LEAC."
County Board support
LEAC seems to have won over its critics on the County Board. When Olson was hired in 2009 as the chief LEAC pilot for $102,500 a year plus benefits, Democrat George Anne Duckett publicly criticized the move.
"That was before," said Duckett, who was able to ride in one of the helicopters at a recent LEAC open house. "They do really great work. They've been all over the place helping people."
Republican Dave Fiduccia says the helicopter is another tool in the arsenal of law enforcement, one that local authorities couldn't afford on their own — and that's why it needs to be kept. His day job is Cherry Valley police officer, and he heads the County Board's Public Safety Committee,
"We've already invested money in it. I think it would be foolish to drop off now," he said. "If you had asked me five years ago, I probably would have given you a different answer. But now I've seen how valuable it is. It's something we should keep going."
Reach staff writer Mike Wiser at firstname.lastname@example.com or 815-987-1410.
What you need to know about LEAC
The Law Enforcement Aviation Coalition is a nonprofit group that offers helicopter services free of charge to communities upon request in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, and occasionally beyond.
With headquarters in Winthrop Harbor, LEAC has sent its helicopters as far south as Louisiana to help Hurricane Katrina victims, into Chicago the night of President Barack Obama's election victory celebration at Grant Park and several times into the Rockford area to help locate fleeing suspects and accident victims.
Its first helicopter was a Eurocopter EC135 obtained from a private individual who lent it to the Winthrop Harbor Police Department. By 2005, Winthrop Harbor officials were looking to expand.
They started a nonprofit and were able to secure surplus helicopters through the national Law Enforcement Support Office, which has state divisions that run a variety of programs to assist law enforcement agencies secure surplus equipment for free or reduced prices.
Page 3 of 3 - "The agreement is, we pick it up as is and agree to use our own finances to bring the equipment into working order," said Winthrop Harbor police Chief Joel Brumlik, who is also the LEAC president. "We also have to make (the helicopters) available to any agency that asks."
LEAC now has three Bell OH 58 helicopters and a Bell UH-1V "Huey" it obtained through the LESO program as well as two private helicopters available for limited use in its fleet. At least two of the helicopters are typically stationed at Chicago Rockford International Airport while the other two are typically in Kenosha, Wis.

Ex-Blue Jay Yunel Escobar traded from Miami Marlins to Tampa Bay Rays
The payroll-slashing Marlins dealt the shortstop and his $5 million salary across Florida to Tampa Bay for minor league infielder Derek Dietrich.

NASHVILLE, TENN.—Yunel Escobar's stay with the Miami Marlins lasted all of two weeks.
The payroll-slashing Marlins dealt the shortstop and his $5 million salary across Florida to the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night for minor league infielder Derek Dietrich.
Escobar's departure drops the Marlins' projected opening-day payroll to a major league-low $38 million, which includes $4.5 million owed Toronto next year, $1.5 million due to Arizona in 2013 as part of the Heath Bell trade and $1 million to account for a prorated share of Bell's signing bonus.
Combined with the Toronto trade, the Marlins have pared $151.5 million in payroll from their books in recent weeks, just two months after finishing their first season in a new ballpark built with taxpayer money.
Right-hander Ricky Nolasco, the team's highest-paid remaining player with a salary of $11.5 million next year, would prefer to be traded, too, agent Matt Sosnick said Monday.
"We'll take a little timeout on the trade front," said Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest, who promised the payroll savings will be reinvested.
Acquired in the 12-player trade that sent Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson to Toronto on Nov. 19, the 30-year-old Escobar batted .253 last season with nine homers and 51 RBIs.
He is a .282 career hitter in six major league seasons with 53 homers and 298 RBIs for Atlanta (2007-10) and Toronto (2010-12). Escobar was suspended for three games in September for wearing eye black displaying an anti-gay slur written in Spanish during a game against Boston.
"I think he definitely learned a lesson from the eye-black incident," Rays executive vice-president for baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. "I think it had a real impact on him and that he feels remorse about it. And the digging that we did — we believe that it was an isolated incident and that nothing of that nature will be a concern going forward, or we wouldn't have acquired him."
Beinfest said that when the Marlins obtained Escobar, he said he was willing to move to third base. Adeiny Hechavarria, also acquired from the Blue Jays, is slated for shortstop.
"He had a change of heart," Beinfest said.
Escobar's contract includes $5 million options for 2014 and 2015. His acquisition allows Ben Zobrist to serve in a utility role.
"We believe that he's going to fit in really well in our clubhouse," Friedman said. "It sounds like he's extremely happy about being here, being a Ray, and he knows he's going to be welcomed into our clubhouse. But yeah, I think it's safe to say we did a lot of work on it, talked to a lot of people and felt comfortable that it's a calculated risk on a good player that we feel like can help us and fit in really well in our environment."
The 23-year-old Dietrich, a second-round draft pick in 2010, was selected MVP of Class-A Charlotte this year, batting .282 with a team-high 10 homers and 58 RBIs. He was promoted to Double-A Montgomery on July 28 and finished with a combined .279 average with 14 homers and 75 RBIs.

Covered Patio Lighting
We're just about at the end of our budget but managed to include a 16' x 12' covered patio. Don't have much to spend on lighting, but wonder what you all think is practical and necessary. We ended up going with a couple of spot lights to aim at the grill, in place of the "back porch" light. Builder had suggested can lights instead of the porch light but said he had them in his own home but never used them much---too much light. Or should we wire for a chandelier, too, or just get a fun "candleleir" to suspend from the ceiling? Ideas and thoughts? What's the minimum we would need for outdoor lighting?
We put up pretty outdoor ceiling fans with lights. The fan helps keep the bugs away and feels really good when it's hot out. You do need to make sure you get one that is 'Damp Rated' or rated for outdoor use to ensure that the fan blades don't absorb moisture & droop. We also put the light part on a dimmer so we can have bright light or soft light. We liked that the light part was kind of 'fancy' too. Here's a pic of the one we went with...
Ellington Knightsbridge 52" Ceiling Fan in Aged Bronze
Hope this helps!
Here is a link that might be useful: Ellington Fans
We have three decorative flush mounts from lowes, with two ceiling fans in between them. When we first moved the the previous owners had the white plastic sockets with lamp shades upside down on them. That looked ok for a while, and was a cheap but nice looking solution. We also have to lights that flank the side of the doors as well as a chandelier over the table. We spend a lot of time on our screened porch and outside, so we also have 3 sets of flood lights that light the rear perimeter of the house at night. ALL OF THIS lighting is on separate dimmer switches. The dimmers are the key to actually being able to use the lights and enjoy them.
Ceiling fans! We love this idea---and love the Ellington fan you've used, mydreamhome. It is GORGEOUS!! The decision is not a difficult one now, so thank you both! We'll be putting in an outdoor lighted ceiling fan (we will also be doing some floodlights for security as well as a "back porch" light at the door...). Great suggestions...

⬅ Return to Banned Books Week Kicks Off Tomorrow!
Sep 29th, 2011 at 3:26am
Screw this! Don't ban books, especially of one that teaches about life.
Sep 30th, 2011 at 1:33pm
I agree. If these books start to be banned, do you understand how much of a riot will be started?! You can't "edit" art! People have officially started to lose it.
Oct 3rd, 2011 at 11:21pm
Um, heck to the no!!! I love books and if they all of a sudden start banning them and censoring them it'll be like a bad runoff of "Fahrenhiet 451"!

Scary charts once again dominated the future of news yesterday when both Forbes and BuzzFeed wrote about what appeared to be sharp declines in the use of Facebook social reader apps — the frictionless-sharing, "tell all my friends I just read about Snooki" apps that spread stories socially. The data seemed to show active users of social reading apps from The Washington Post, The Guardian, and others had began to plummet in April.
Readers have grown weary of the invasive, annoying apps! Hurrah! Or: Social readers are not the traffic boosters publishers once thought! Panic!
Or, maybe not. TechCrunch last night wrote that the drop is more likely due to tinkering on Facebook's part on how shared articles are displayed to friends — specifically, a shift to displaying trending articles on the site rather than a "recently read articles" module. This was backed up by a tweet from the Post's engagement producer:
Social reader "collapse" is b/c of evolving FB modules. Before: "double-double," 4-5 stories down in a list, w/ friend icon – drove growth.
— Ryan Y. Kellett (@rkellett) May 7, 2012
While the Post got most of the attention for its drop in numbers, The Guardian has as least as much skin in the Facebook game. In March Facebook sent more referral traffic to the Guardian than Google — a huge shift. That month, Facebook touted The Guardian as one of the success stories from using the Open Graph, with more than 3.9 million monthly active users, "over half of which are under the age of 25."
I checked with The Guardian to see how they interpreted the drop — specifically, I asked Tanya Cordrey, director of digital development for the Guardian, who announced the company's success with Facebook two months ago. Cordrey said over email they expected fluctuating usage patterns from readers, but something had indeed changed recently (emphasis added):
We're still learning a lot about our Facebook app, and as with all brand new content platforms, we always expect fluctuating degrees of usage. Since our app launched in September last year we have repeatedly seen upswings and downswings in use depending on the type of content being shared by users, and the way that this user activity has been displayed within Facebook. Major changes made in the last month or so by Facebook have indeed resulted in a fall in usage since early April. However, this is not a signal that users are "abandoning" social reader apps, rather that articles which were previously surfaced predominantly in a user's newsfeed are now much less visible.
Cordrey seems to back up the Post's argument. (Though at Inside Facebook they found not all publishers are seeing the same decline.) It shouldn't be a surprise that Facebook wields that much power, but it does make for a good reminder of the pact media companies make when they attach themselves to any third-party platform in an effort to help reach new audiences or just increase traffic. Google isn't the only tech giant who can, with a simple internal decision, send a site's traffic soaring or dropping.

|Millennials say keeping up with the news is important to them — but good luck getting them to pay for it
The new report from the Media Insight Project looks at millennials' habits and attitudes toward news consumption: "I really wouldn't pay for any type of news because as a citizen it's my right to know the news."
|The next stage in the battle for our attention: Our wrists
News companies have moved from print dollars to digital dimes to mobile pennies. Now, with the highly anticipated launch of the Apple Watch, the screens are getting even smaller. How are smart publishers thinking about the right way to serve users and maintain their attention on smartwatches?
|A wave of distributed content is coming — will publishers sink or swim?
Instead of just publishing to their own websites, news organizations are being asked to publish directly to platforms they don't control. Is the hunt for readers enough to justify losing some independence?
