I live in Toronto, and work as a Physical Education Teacher. I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and enjoy life in downtown Toronto. I also appreciate my downtime and find my loft to be good for that.
I grew up in city and know it well. My plan is to use Airbnb to rent out my Toronto condo on occasion, with a focus on when I'm away, such as during the major school holidays. I also plan to use it to find accommodation during these travel periods.
I have travelled through Southern Africa, and Asia in addition to New Zealand when in my twenties. These days I make a couple of trip a year to the UK to visit family.
I definitely appreciate the value of living in a comfortable space in a foreign city where you can cook a meal on occasion. As a host I will do my best to make your stay relaxed and informed.

Stayed at this place with my son (13 y.o.) for 8 nights.
The best thing about this apartment is location. It is very close to Newport PATH station. In only 15 minutes (excluding waiting time, which can be significant on weekends) you are either at WTC or 34th Street. Ideal for visiting almost any tourist attraction on Manhattan.
The advantage of having a kitchen in the apartment and Morton Williams supermarket literally next door (and open 7 am till midnight) makes your tourist life simple.
There were unfortunately several aspects that made our stay less enjoyable.
The room we were using was tiny. It is literally the size of a king-size bed with no furniture at all. There is simply no room to put anything else in there.
The guest room that you will be using for dining has low sitting and a very low table in the middle. Eating is not very convenient.
The kitchen is small and not very well kept. The sink is always full of dirty dishes left by the landlords. Other dishes, clean and not so clean, are spread all over the place. Gas oven has not been cleaned for a while.
There is a very friendly dog in the apartment. It is so friendly that having a meal is tricky. We had to either ask the landlords to lock the dog in their bedroom or just do it ourselves when the guys were not around.
Dog's hare is everywhere. So please be warned.
One thing left bad taste in my mouth, literally, was that the landlords were smoking hookah in the living room when we returned home on the weekend.
The bathroom was OK though.
Overall, this was similar to camping in a nice civilized location.
If you have high cleanliness standards, think twice before opting for this place.
Extremely well located, close to the PATH and lots of local shops and amenities, in a safe neighbourhood with awesome views of downtown across the Hudson river. The bedroom is a bit of a squeeze but the apartment is otherwise spacious and has everything you need for a short stay. The hosts are charming and helpful and their dog is a sweetie. Would definitely book again.
Our first time in NYC and we had wonderful accommodations! The apartment was clean with all the amenities. You can even do laundry in the laundry room downstairs. It's in a safe location with quiet neighbors, and businesses and apartment complexes nearby. There's even a doorman in the apartment building. The best thing is that the PATH subway is just about a block away - so very easy to get to NYC/Manhattan. Suggest you get a Metro Card as well so that when you're in NYC, you can easily travel around in the metro subway or the metro bus.
Uzair, our host, was away when we were there, so had the whole apartment to ourselves. He's a great host in that he was very responsive to our questions which was very important to us, and very helpful as well. I would highly recommend him to future renters and would definitely rent from him again if we ever travel back there.
Thanks Uzair! You made our stay in NY very enjoyable.
Nice building close to everything. Apartment was clean with a pretty good view on high floor. Would stay again.

You cannot do this in general without some server side help.
Plain html does not offer support for it.
Usually a link as proposed by Simon will do the trick, but this will not work for everyone.
Javascript and Java client scripting suffer from the "same origin" limitation, meaning that you have to deliver to the same server, unless the user jumps through hoops to allow the script to connect to other hosts.
There are many scripts available to do this.
You can launch the user's email program using a mailto link along with several paramaters:
However, a lot of people use webmail nowadays, for which it won't work - so the best option is to avoid using email. If you want feedback and don't want to host such a script on your own server, you can use a service such as PollDaddy or SurveyMonkey for this. If you want to encourage users to share a page with friends, ShareThis supports email.

[N.B. You can now also read the transcript of the debate, as well as CTC's commentary and summary.]
I thought about using a disguise for the conference, as I was there under false pretences - I'm not a volunteer cycle campaigner, but a paid CTC worker. However, I couldn't get my false beard to stick on, so I just had to turn up with my own facial hair and see how that fitted in. This is what I found...
Cycle campaigners can be quite direct on social media, so I was expecting a few rows and punch-ups. It turned out that the ones I spoke to were cheery, chatty chaps who were keen to share experiences and information.
One of the big advantages of CTC is that it is a UK wide organisation, but at the same time it has a distinctive CTC Scotland 'region' which represents and deals, as best it can, with all the specific Scottish issues.
In response to a campaign organised by CTC and Audrey Fyfe's family, over 6,000 people wrote to the Procurator Fiscal against McCourt's 'unduly lenient' sentence. McCourt knocked Audrey off her bike in August 2011 and she died two days later.
He was given just 300 hours community service and a five-year driving ban.
CTC Life Member Les Brown doesn't let age get in the way of his passion for cycling so his friend and fellow CTC Life member Tom Hanley decided to organise a special celebration ride for him when he turned 100 years old on 1 September.
The pair, who rode an unusual tandem-trike, were joined for the occasion by around 25 other cyclists and friends for the ride from Lochmaben to Dalton Pottery, where they enjoyed a well-deserved slice of birthday cake.
Inactivity accounts for at least 2,500 deaths each year in Scotland and for almost 1 in 10 deaths worldwide. It is considered to be the second biggest risk factor for mortality, behind high blood pressure. Increased physical fitness would reduce premature death by 30% and can help prevent and treat more than 20 chronic diseases. Getting Scotland fit could increase an individual's life expectancy by almost a year.
Cycling 80 to 100+ miles a day every day for seven weeks is simply mind-numbing.
Chronic fatigue, aching legs, arms and backs are coupled with addled brains turned into mush by too many towns and too many miles in too short a time.
Firstly, I'm not an expert on urbanism, cycling infrastructure or the history of Northern European cycling.

WYSIWYG on ipad
Hi, I'll like to add that it's the same on iphone too - no WYSIWYG when commenting.
Hi Chank, I'll look into this as soon as possible.
Hi @Chank, I've found the cause. The WYSIWYG addon is not available when using a mobile device. There are compatibility issues with it, so it's automatically disabled.
If you'd like text formatting on mobile (including the iPad), try disabling the WYSIWYG and instead enable the Button Bar plugin. It's a much simpler feature set that works everywhere. It's our favored formatting solution.
Hi Lincoln,
It's a pity WYSIWYG doesn't work on mobile device. But thanks for finding that out!

Product description
Stephen L. Dyson has spent a lifetime studying and teaching the history of ancient Rome. That unparalleled knowledge is reflected in his magisterial overview of the Eternal City. Rather than look only at the physical development of the city-its buildings, monuments, and urban spaces-Dyson also explores its social, economic, and cultural histories. This unique approach situates Rome against a background of comparative urban history and theory, allowing Dyson to examine the dynamic society that once thrived there. In his personal effort to reconstruct the city, Dyson populates its streets with the hurried politicians, hawking vendors, and animated students that once lived, worked, and studied there, bringing the ancient city to life for a new generation of students and tourists. Dyson follows Rome as it developed between the third century BC and the fourth century AD, dividing the great megalopolis into distinct neighborhoods and locales. He shows how these communities, each with its own unique customs and colorful inhabitants, eventually grew into the great imperial capital of the Italian Empire. Dyson integrates the full range of sources available-literary, artistic, epigraphic, and archaeological-to create a comprehensive history of the monumental city. In doing so, he offers a dramatic picture of a complex and changing urban center that, despite its flaws, flourished for centuries.

Wasn't what we expected, was part of someone's house in a very small quiet area and was hard to find but the staff were friendly and helped where they could considering the language barrier. Over all had a nice stay and was easy to get to the lakes once we worked out how to use the buses.

This is a room I the downstairs of a house. You have a bathroom and kitchen to share with the other room. The owners are lovely and leave you to your own devices. A kitchen helps to cook food and there is a supermarket down the road. A good stay if you need a night before or after the national park.

The owners were very so nice and essentially gave us an apartment to stay in - kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Everything was very clean and we had heaters and blankets for the cold nights. I would definitely recommend renting a car as the lakes are about a 20 min drive away. There are a couple supermarkets nearby too, within 5min walking. Overall a really fun experience and I would recommend this place to anyone!

Organizer Hans Julius is pleased the two men will round out the one of the biggest country music shows of the summer in Nebraska.
We couldnt be more pleased," Nebraskaland Days Concert Chairman Hans Julius said.
Lee Brice is a proven talent and Thomas Rhetts first single is sure to be one of the most talked about songs of the year."
Brice's latest album Hard 2 Love has taken him to the top level. The title track peaked at No. 1, as did another of the album cuts A Woman Like You."
Brice's first album produced the top-five hit Love Like Crazy.
Rhetts style tends to live a little on the edge. Having grown up on country and hip-hop, elements of both styles tend to wind up in his some of his music.

Santa came early!
My WH (Wonderful Husband) let the cat out of the bag and my very own copy of HOSTAPEDIA landed on my doorstep this morning. I will now pour myself a scotch and curl up with this 15 pound tome.
Ahem. I know what you mean there.
I was thinking that I need one of those cookbook holders that holds them at a slant, you know what I mean, or a swiveling dictionary stand, because when I first got mine, I was flipping back and forth, and it is a big job. I wound up putting it on a small end table that was low, and I kept it adjacent to my desk. That was during the ordering season. Which, I must admit, ran from about March to late August. Now I have it set aside among the stuff I'm taking when we store the contents of our house for the pending remodel. The Hostapedia goes WITH ME. So does the Hosta Finder. If you don't have that one, you will soon discover you are going crazy wondering who sells things, for how much, and it helps me plan my orders. It's worth every penny of the small sum it takes to buy. A new edition is due out sometime in January I believe? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, please.

Earl of Tankerville is a noble title drawn from Tancarville in Normandy. The title has been created three times: twice in the Peerage of England, and once (in 1714) in the Peerage of Great Britain for Charles Bennet, 2nd Baron Ossulston.[2] His father, John Bennet, 1st Baron Ossulston, was the elder brother of Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington.
The Earl of Tankerville holds the subsidiary title of Baron Ossulston, of Ossulston in the County of Middlesex (1682), in the Peerage of England.[3] The present Earl lives in West London and North Yorkshire.
The heir presumptive is the present holder's cousin, Adrian George Bennet (b. 1958).[5]

Nice rooms, friendly staff, very well kept.
The breakfast was just ok.
The hotel is very conveniently located to everything; very easy to navigate in and out, yet set back off the highway and buffered by other business operations.
Hotel was clean and front desk staff were friendly. Rooms are large, comfortable and have a nice lay-out.
NOISY! Freight trains passing in the night can't be helped. Emptying the trash dumpsters under our window very early in the morning should be re-scheduled. Housekeeping staff POUNDING on our door at 9:15 am when checkout time is 12 noon is unnecessary. The corresponding rude comments made by housekeeping staff are also disrepectful and unprofessional. Very disappointed.
If you're staying up by Rhinebeck, Kingston, Saugerties this is a no brainer place to stay. It's very clean, and the staff is fantastic. The pool is small, but indoors.
The hotel is in a shopping area which can be really useful if your forgot a bathing suit. There's a Target and JC Penney within walking distance.
The Bistro has microwaveable food and Starbucks coffee in pump carafes. The food isn't terribly good, but there are many, many other options outside the hotel.
The view from your room can be less than inspiring especially if you're looking out at the dirt field waiting for construction of some kind.
These are both very, very minor issues and shouldn't take away from how clean, efficient and well located this hotel is.
Bed was comfortable
Strong odor of cleaning chemicals in room
Odor of mold in lobby
Poor "free breakfast" choices. Hot was limited to make your own toast. Cold selection was a small selection of packaged muffins or a choice of two cold cereals.
Towel rack in bathroom broken
Exterior door had gaps between door and frame, also no safety chain
sink stopper not connectd. Had to reach under sink to operate stopper
TV had a limited number of selections, was older CRT tube model with somewhat small screen,
Difficult to find (limited unlit signage)
Good bed.
Nice people.
Good location.
Dated facilities.
Confusing layout.
everyone treating me exceptional well. The swimming pool, staff, lake, room, grounds was like being in a fantastic dream in my life. It was a true getaway and I loved every minute.
There appeared a snake in the woods but the staff assured me it was harmless
off the beaten track and completely beautiful nature setting. No frills room was clean and tidy. Pool was sparkling clear and staff was welcoming. Beautiful grounds and gazebos and stocked pond. Peaceful and quiet.
no internet access to check out local attractions and directions. The wifi was secured and only one bar of strength in our room.
Location Location Location
Fitness center officially opened at 9 AM. Too late to be of any use! The nice staff did however let me in anyway. 6 AM
Clean and quite
We paid full price for a room and the hotel was EMPTY....that's why it was quite.
The bed was extremely comfortable and the place felt clean and safe. Staff was friendly and helpful and the location was conveniently located right off the Thruway. There's also a wonderful diner attached that gives you a 10% discount with your room card!
There was some hair from the cleaning staff on the bed and pillows but they were happy to give us fresh sheets and pillow cases when we asked them. The walls are kind of thin so you can hear pretty much everything happening in the rooms around you...
The staff was really great, the common areas were very inviting and the food was delicious!
I booked this hotel for proximity to a work event, and because it looked like it would have more character than a chain.
Their communication with me was very misleading.
The hotel was a good value. The rooms were comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the property was clean. Additionally, the hotel was only a short drive from the CIA.
The property has seen better days. The bathroom door in our room didn't latch. The exterior security door near our room opened without scanning a room key. While the hotel is a smoke-free facility, smoke was always present in stairways and hallways.
Additionally, the property does not have an elevator. Travelers should request a room on the first floor, otherwise you'll be carrying your luggage up and down stairs.

I'll have to agree with some of my collegues here:
The AP is a good choice you can afford to put all DHC's on the front- you have the maneuveribility to make them work. Lose the spirals on the rear and fit the removed beams from the front here, or better yet use TURRETS !!!
Lose the dissapator console, and maybe both of the emitter amp consoles- the maco shield already has a great recharge rate. Get a Field generator or 2 and an emitter array console.
Put on at least 2 AP mag regulators in place of the graviton emitter and something else (hopefully you got the energy dissapator in a tac slot), might consider losing the tricobalt console as well for another AP console.
Now for the BOFF's:
Your so inefficient here because your trying to be a torpedo boat with beams but totally ignoring your most powerful weapons and attribute- DHC's and excellent turn ability. There are MANY good setups at stoacademy so I won't list what you need to change but IMHO you definitely need APOmega and hazard emitters somewhere in there, and move those torpedo skills to lower levels and let the higher ranking TAC officers USE those DHC's to their potential (CSV and CRF).
YUK-Neutronium armour is too generic, if you specialize you'll get better protection, suggest an ablative, a tetrabernium and a monotanium.
Oh, and use a torp DOFF or 2- they make torp spread do magical things, and if you can get a THY in there you should get a better firing rate when you chain the torp abilities.

Husqvarna 350 chain slipping
I've got a Husky 350 chainsaw that's about ten years old. It runs great, no issues there. I bought a new bar and chain and it cut like new. I was cutting oak and it worked great. I cut an unknown stump for a neighbor and near the end of the cut it acted like it wasn't getting oil. I returned to the oak I was working on and it cut slower. Now the chain is slipping (like a clutch in a car type of slipping). It's running fine and cuts okay until the least little bit of pressure is applied and then the chain starts slipping until it stops turning all together. Motor is wide open and chain is stuck in the wood. I can adjust the chain like normal and it doesn't make a difference with the symptoms. The chain tensioner is working great and the tension is correct. Clutch?

Fit the wife a new sig 238 and picked myself up a Springfield XDM 40. Two weeks ago I geo a Ruger LCR .357. Not to mention all the new AR parts. And I'm still married so i gotta say she's the best.
play the victim, be the victim
YOU think YOU have a problem?!
I don't have a SINGLE cheap hobby!
let's see, restoring a 1970 Cuda...yea, NOT cheap...even while doing it myself and not paying anyone labor. parts alone are gonna suck up an EASY $30,000 by the time I'm done.
not to mention the sweet little street truck I built to drive around now while the cuda is in work--2wd Dakota, lowered, hopped up V8, 5-spd manual, 3.92 gears, viper brakes...yeup, there went another easy $10,000
um, next hobby...guns...yea, we all know they are not cheap, ammo ain't free, and there's always something else we wanna buy!
Ok, how about playing guitar a little. at one point I was up to 6 or 7 guitars, a few amps...and realized I didn't need all that, so I consolidated and got myself one really nice guitar for $1800, a sweet old school tube amp for another several hundred bills, and got rid of the rest. just down to one nice guitar, one beater guitar (for when/if the boys want to pick up and learn to play) one nice amp, and one beater amp.
ok, how about beer making! this is probably my cheapest hobby, but so far in 9 months, I've spent about $300 in equipment, and averaging $35 per 5-gallon batch. so far I have made some really awesome beers, but I'm far from "breaking even" and would have saved money if I just went to the store and bought craft and micro brews. --hopefully though, some of my latest equipment investments will allow me to be more "self-sufficient" and lower my cost per batch, and eventually I'll hit the break even point and start saving money! --hey, at least I'm not paying uncle sam his alcohol taxes, since I'm making the alcohol in my basement!
sheesh...and you think YOU have a problem with just ONE addiction!?
cuda, i know how you feel! BTDT! right now guns are my most expensive hobby (addiction!) and i have had other hobbies that were money and labor intensive too. i use to dabble in photography several years ago, and had about seven different cameras and all the assorted lenses and such. now there can be an expensive hobby. this last summer i just bought a boat to rebuild so i could get back into fishing, and am slowing replacing all the fishing gear i use to have years ago. yeah it can be a money pit!

Program/Project Management
A California utility is locked in a showdown with private and public property owners over its plan to remove hundreds of trees that are damaging and corroding area pipelines.
San Francisco-based Pacific Gas & Electric, one of the largest natural-gas and electric utlities in the United States, says that trees, sheds, garages and other structures on both public and private property need to be removed
Tree roots are damaging pipeline protective coatings and could rip pipes out of the ground, PG&E says.
The trees are causing significant problems throughout the company's 6,750-mile-long pipeline system, PG&E has been telling residents and county officials statewide
Tree roots can rip the protective wrap from a pipeline and destroy its first level of external corrosion protection, PG&E says.
Wrong Assumptions
Kirk Johnson, PG&E vice president of Gas Transmission Maintenance and Construction, outlined the tree removal plan at an April 22 meeting of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.
Decades ago, Johnson said, PG&E assumed that pipelines buried at least three feet deep wouldn't be bothered by tree roots. But now, he said, those roots are potentially putting systems at risk.
Not only can tree roots destroy a pipeline's protective coatings, but they can wrap themselves around the pipe.
Natural plantings and manmade structures can interfere with pipeline maintenance, inspection and operation, PG&E has said.
If the tree falls, say in an earthquake or wind storm, it can pull a small pipe entirely out of the ground, or put unusual stresses on larger pipes that lead to failure, Johnson said.
'Too Customer-Focused'
In the past, PG&E didn't stop residents from planting trees or building structures over pipelines; and once one person did it, many others followed suit.
Now, the company says, these structures are preventing crews from performing checks and maintenance.
"We became a little too customer-focused," Johnson said.
The utlity plans to remedy the situation with Pipeline Pathways, a five-year, $5 million, shareholder-funded program.
"This would eliminate—not mitigate, eliminate—the risk of external corrosion and wrap damage to our pipeline system from tree roots," Johnson said.
PG&E says it became "too customer-focused" by allowing people to plant trees and build structures over pipelines for decades. Now, the utility wants them removed for pipeline safety.
"We're not going to get here in the next five years. It's going to take a long time to get through all of the specific issues that cities and counties have," Johnson said.
Cities Want Negotiations
However, the plan is currently on hold while PG&E negotiates with multiple cities.
The Contra Costa Board praised Johnson for his focus on pipeline safety, but determined it needed more details before letting the utility move forward with its plan.
The company has marked hundreds of trees for removal throughout the Bay Area, NBCBayArea.com reported.
The mayor of Walnut Creek, CA, Kristina Lawson, told the news channel that 700 trees have been tagged in her area, and the city will sue to stop it if necessary.
PG&E says it won't remove any county trees or any "protected" or "ordinance" trees on private property without a written agreement in place.
The company is also working to meet with private property owners to remove "encroachments" (i.e., sheds, barns, garages and trees) and hopes to have an inventory for the counties sometime this summer.
Comment from Mark Anater, (5/2/2014, 11:43 AM)
Here is a classic example of public vs. private interests clashing, and the response is instructive. No one will tolerate having their water service interrupted, but removing trees that represent a clear and present danger of doing just that draws an immediate, negative response. What's the utility to do about a homeowner who complains bitterly when his neighbor's tree takes out the water main, but who will meet a removal crew with a shotgun if they try to take down one of his trees?
Comment from Jim Johnson, (5/2/2014, 12:13 PM)
At least PG&E is being honest in admitting their past mistakes, is offering a realistic solution and is willing to pay for it themselves. The problem is that the solution to any problem breeds another problem.

The Orange County Register's newest weekly sections on local colleges, which are being financed in part by the colleges themselves, are raising concerns about conflicts of interest and credibility from both inside and outside of the newspaper.
At issue is the financial arrangement the Santa Ana, CA, daily has with three local campuses: Chapman University; California State University, Fullerton; and the University of California at Irvine.
Under an agreement reached earlier this year, the paper is publishing a separate, weekly six-page special section devoted to positive coverage of each university's news and events. Each of those sections include two columns authored by top university staffers.
In exchange, each university is paying the newspaper $275,000, supposedly for advertising that will appear in that section for one year. The sections began running on April 1.
The financial arrangement and partial control of content by the universities has some at the paper and on campus concerned.
"It does make me a little uncomfortable," said Bill Johnson, a Register columnist. "In this business, appearance is everything. Appearance-wise, it is a bit troubling. If you know people are paying for coverage does that affect the coverage? I would like to think we are way above that, writing good news to satisfy an advertiser."
Jeffrey Brody, a journalism professor at Cal State, Fullerton, and a former Register reporter, called it a "disguised advertorial."
"That's a breach of the wall between editorial and advertising of traditional newspapering," he said. "A newspaper should not be making these kinds of quid pro quo agreements. It seems that that does damage the credibility of the university."
A review of the most recent sections from April 15, 16, and 17, finds stories written by Register staffers, along with two pieces from each university's faculty or administration.
A half-page color ad for the university appears on the back page of each section.
The stories range from a review of the number of bronze busts on the Chapman campus to a report on UC-Irvine's annual "Undie Run." None of the stories could be described as critical of the school.
While newspapers often clearly label such content as "advertisement" or "advertorial," the only note related to the Register's arrangement is a small box on the inside of the page alongside the staff list stating "while the university is the section's primary advertising sponsor, all editorial decisions are independent of the university's control."
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Robert Caro criticized conservative media coverage of President Obama during an appearance in New York City, describing it as "something quite horrible" and venomous.
Caro, known for his biographies of President Lyndon Johnson, spoke during a March 29 interview at Strand Books in Manhattan conducted by New York magazine writer Frank Rich as part of promotion for the paperback version of his fourth Johnson book, The Passage of Power.
Caro, who won Pulitzer Prizes for his third Johnson book, Master of the Senate, and his 1975 book about Robert Moses, has long used newspaper and media coverage in his research about U.S. political history.
Asked by Media Matters what he thought of today's conservative media coverage given his experience with historic news accounts, Caro said there had been strong conservative news coverage of past political figures, but stressed today's approach is worse.
"I think today is something [different], the venom, the absolute venom, whatever we think is really underneath it all, it is something quite horrible," he said, later adding, "Here in New York you live in a different world. I was just giving some lectures and you know when you get out in the rest of the country you realize the depth of the anti-Obama feeling."
Caro's comments follow years of conservative media figures smearing President Obama and his family with outlandish conspiracies, regular falsehoods, trumped-up pseudoscandals, and outright attacks.
Dick Morris is working with Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus on a new television advertisement that will include Preibus seeking to attract Latino voters, Morris revealed during an appearance in New York City Thursday.
Speaking at the Poli Conference, a political consulting event for Latin American campaign professionals, Morris said the ad will feature Priebus reaching out to "those Latin Americans who've come to the United States to help us build our country, to help harvest our food, to help make our economy work and [Priebus'] message is 'welcome, we need you, you're making our country younger, more prosperous, harder working and we need you for the future.'"
According to Morris, the ad will make use of "that concept of reflecting back to people their own value and their own worth. In the advertisement he [Priebus] says, 'we honor our ancestors who took covered wagons to settle the west and brave the Indians, but you are the new pioneers, you are the new people in America doing that.' And I think that is a very, very interesting thing to do in a campaign."
Republican Party Spokesman Ryan Mahoney did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ad. Asked about when it might run or where, Morris declined to offer more details.
Morris' work with the Republican National Committee is noteworthy given the implosion of Morris' stature and credibility following the 2012 election and his now infamous prediction of a "landslide" victory for Republican Mitt Romney. After the election Morris was effectively banned from appearing on Fox News, where he worked as an on-air contributor until the network declined to renew his contract in early February. Morris also brings with him a host of ethics problems -- Morris' group Super PAC for America reportedly spent significant amounts of money renting Morris' own email list in the months before the election, allowing him to simply pocket money raised by the group.
Veteran media and criminal defense attorneys agree that the Daily Caller could be subject to a possible libel or defamation lawsuit or even criminal charges if it is proven the publication paid women to lie about having sex with Sen. Robert Menendez for money.
The Daily Caller first reported in a November 1 story allegations from two anonymous women who claimed they were Dominican prostitutes who had been paid by Menendez for sex. Over the past month, the story has slowly fallen apart.
Dominican law enforcement officials have said they determined that the three women who had made allegations about Menendez had actually been paid to do so by Miguel Figueroa, a Dominican attorney who was the only named source in the original Caller report. One of the women has reportedly signed an affidavit retracting her claims and said she was paid to lie.
Last week, the head of the Dominican National Police said Figueroa had blamed the Caller for the entire debacle, claiming that someone allegedly from the publication had supposedly paid him to find prostitutes who would lie about having sex with Menendez.
The Daily Caller has strongly denied making any payments.
Nonetheless, one criminal defense attorney told Media Matters the news outlet or anyone else who paid the prostitutes for their false story could face criminal charges that might involve wire fraud.
"Suppose all of these individuals lied and they were paid to lie and the advantage in some proprietary way flows to the people who paid them and there was a communication over U.S. or U.S and foreign communications facilities, you might make out a wire fraud," said Stuart Pierson, a Washington, D.C. attorney who specializes in white collar crime and media issues. "If there is a communication involving U.S. transmission communication facilities and the purpose of this lie and fraud is to adversely affect the proprietary interest of somebody in the United States or a U.S. Citizen."
A Department of Justice spokesperson declined to comment on any investigation that might be related to the reporting of the story.
Pierson and other attorneys agreed a defamation or libel civil charge is likely if it is found the Daily Caller knew the information was false, and is increased if it is found they paid someone to lie, or knew that someone was paid to lie.
Despite widespread recent criticism of the role conservative media outlets played in the 2012 election and its aftermath, most attendees at last week's Conservative Political Action Conference had a positive view of the current state of right-wing journalism.
The calls for reform of conservative media are unconvincing to journalists who have found that the current model has given them a large audience.
Mike Opelka, editor-at-large for Glenn Beck's The Blaze, said the popularity of conservative media proves that they are doing good work.
"Fox dominates the conservative cable media," he said. "We [The Blaze] are averaging 10 million uniques a month. I think it is on target for what we like. We are a center-right source and we think they like what we give them."
Dana Loesch, the conservative radio talk show host whose past work for the Breitbart family of conservative news websites helped generate appearances on CNN, Fox News and ABC News, also gave high marks to conservative outlets.
"I think they are doing a really good job," she said of her fellow right-wing media outlets. "It's a good market, I always think there is an appetite for conservative media because there are a lot of people, myself included, who think you don't get that perspective when you turn it on, CBS, NBC, the channels like that."
Their optimism comes at a time when numerous media voices, including several prominent conservatives, have raised questions about the state of conservative media following a 2012 election in which right-wing media outlets convinced their readers, viewers, and listeners that Mitt Romney was cruising towards a comfortable win over a villainous President Obama. Last week, American Conservative published an extensive piece critical of "groupthink" among "several conservative publications."
Similarly, in a February post at his influential Red State website, new Fox News contributor Erick Erickson criticized the conservative "echo chamber" for "trying so hard to highlight controversies, no matter how trivial" at the expense of basic reporting.
But these concerns, alongside a recent flurry of embarrassments (like the Breitbart.com "Friends of Hamas" debacle), were not shared by most at CPAC, who were quick to paint a rosy picture of their work in interviews with Media Matters.
Top conservative media voices spoke out on the need to keep stories accurate and in-depth, while at the same time citing some of the right-wing media's worst stumbles as points of honor during a panel discussion Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
It has been a rough few months for the right-wing media. After a variety of observers pointed to its ineffectiveness during the 2012 election, it has come under fire again over the last month as major stories from The Daily Caller and Breitbart.com have imploded.
But such concerns were largely ignored during the CPAC panel titled "Survivor: Conservative Media," which was billed as an examination of the future of right-wing publications. This comes as little surprise, given that representatives from both the Caller and Breitbart.com were featured panelists.
Moderated by Scottie Hughes of the Tea Party News Network, the panel included Katie Pavlich, news editor at Townhall.com and a Fox News Contributor; Seton Motley, a Breitbart.com columnist; Keith Urbahn, co-founder of Javelin; and Lars Larson, a conservative radio talk show host.
While defending their past work, each appeared to espouse traditional journalistic values of accuracy, in-depth reporting and balance.
"Listen to what everyone else is saying, but don't be afraid to break from the pack," Larson said. "When there is a story, get on it, because there are too many stories that are a sleeper. Fast and Furious was a sleeper for a long time."
Larson referred to the botched ATF mission, which Pavlich and others had baselessly spun as a a conspiracy by the Obama administration to implement stronger gun laws.
American Conservative Union Chairman Al Cardenas defended giving a speaking slot at the organization's 2013 CPAC conference to Donald Trump while snubbing Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
In response to questioning from Media Matters' Joe Strupp at a press conference, Cardenas said that despite Trump's history of racially inflammatory remarks and ongoing promotion of conspiracy theories about President Obama's birthplace, Trump had been invited to speak because "we can't have thirty people saying the same thing with the same backgrounds."
Former Fox News commentator Dick Morris says he still "love[s]" the network and expects to return to its airwaves.
In February Fox confirmed that it had declined to renew Morris' contract. The network had benched him from bookings for several months following his repeated on-air prediction of a Mitt Romney "landslide" in the days leading up to Romney's defeat.
During a March 14 appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) just south of Washington, D.C., Morris told Media Matters, "I love Fox, you know. You come and you go in this business, I'll come again."
Asked if he thought he would return to the network in the future, Morris said, "Sure, probably."
A top executive at a Colorado newspaper has sparked controversy after he sent an email to a state senator opposing legislative efforts to strengthen gun laws that the legislator took as a threat of retaliation by the paper.
Ray Stafford, general manager of the Pueblo Chieftain, sent a March 3 email to State Sen. Angela Giron (D) in which he highlighted his position with the paper and said he opposed legislation to strengthen the state's gun laws. Giron had been undecided on the legislative package under discussion, but ultimately voted for the five bills which passed the state Senate on March 11.
The email from Stafford, sent on his official Chieftain email account, stated: "I am the General Manager and responsible for the entire newspaper, including the newsroom ... I have never written a legislator, but I want you to know I oppose all the bills currently being considered involving guns, ammunition, magazines and ownership transfers because I think they're poorly written and a knee-jerk reaction to recent deaths. I also believe such legislation is a challenge to our Second Amendment."
Stafford denies that his email was intended to intimidate Giron. But Jane Rawlings, assistant publisher of the Chieftain, criticized Stafford for failing to clearly indicate his complaints were his own opinion in the email in which he emphasized his role at the paper.
"A person who works for us should identify this as their personal opinion and he did not state those words in his email, 'this is my personal opinion' and he probably should have," Rawlings told Media Matters.
Giron told KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs, "You don't use work e-mails to send personal stuff out and you certainly don't send and he's literally typed in his name, general manager of The Chieftain and a gun owner. I didn't even know his name so if he didn't send it from The Chieftain, if he didn't say he was the general manager, if he didn't say he was in charge of the newsroom, it probably wouldn't have even been noted."
Stafford's email also did not sit well with Colorado Senate President John Morse, who raised concerns during an appearance on Friday with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, stating, "He threatened her with how he's going to cover her and then followed through, really, she was on the paper and the front page for practically a week straight."
The dispute comes during a highly charged gun debate in Colorado and elsewhere across the country, during which state legislators who support stronger firearms laws have been subjected to intimidation and threats.
The bogus story that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman had filed for bankruptcy appeared on Boston.com, the sister website of The Boston Globe, through a third-party content provider that posts content without editorial approval and provides such content to more than 200 web outlets.
That provider, meanwhile, took the story from an Austrian-based blog without any editorial review or fact-checking of its own, a practice that is becoming more and more common in the Internet content sharing world. The blog has since deleted its post and all posts from the author appear to have been removed from Boston.com.
The false story, which had its roots in a satire by the website Daily Currant, was subsequently picked up by the conservative site Breitbart.com, a move later criticized by Krugman himself and numerous news outlets from The Atlantic to Politico. Breitbart.com has deleted the post, with its author blaming Boston.com, which he says he "trusted" for the story.
But according to Boston.com, they played no role in the creation of that post, an editorial mechanism which troubles some observers.
Ron Agrella, editor of Boston.com, said the item was placed on his site by the content provider financialcontent.com on March 7, without approval or review from either Boston.com or the Globe.
He said he reached out to financialcontent.com at roughly 9 a.m. EDT today to have the item removed. It was removed at 11:34 a.m. EDT.
"The reason why we partner with them is to provide stock data," Agrella explained Monday, just hours after the item was taken down. "That is why we contract with them. The stories are additional content provided on the side. We have partnered with them for 10 or 12 years."
Financialcontent.com had picked up the item from an Austria-based business blog, Prudent Investor, without any editorial review of its own, according to financialcontent.com CEO Wing Yu.
"We are a technology company, we don't have an editorial desk," Yu explained. "There is an RSS feed that we parse from each content provider. We have categorized [Prudent Investor] as a business content provider and the content is syndicated along with the byline."
YU said Prudent Investor is one of more than 400 content providers that financialcontent.com draws on for news and data, which it then forwards to some 200 news outlets such as Boston.com, as well as others owned by McClatchy, Media News Group and AOL.
The Prudent Investor website is based in Vienna, Austria, and run by Toni Straka, who describes himself on the blog as "an INDEPENDENT Certified Financial Analyst who worked as a financial journalist for 15+ years and now evaluate global market trends."

As a part of an ongoing Indiana University School of Education partnership focusing on literacy skills with the Gary Community School Corporation's Dr. Bernard C. Watson K-6 Boys Academy, a group of Watson students created and performed their own play in mid-May. The performance capped a whirlwind of work by Gus Weltsek, visiting assistant professor in the department of Literacy, Culture, and Language Education, with Watson Academy 5th Grade Teacher Beverly Jelks and her students.
Weltsek worked with the students on skills of dramatic storytelling such as staging and presentation; Jelks prompted the students to develop their own original work based on their life experiences. This video takes you to the performance and behind the scenes of rehearsals as Weltsek, Jelks, and the students prepared their work.
The IU School of Education's Center for P-16 Research and Collaboration began a partnership with Watson Academy including faculty professional development and program support in 2006. Watson and Frankie Woods McCullough Girls Academy have worked with School of Education faculty and staff to improve student academic performance."Our focus with the Watson school has been around literacy--all different kinds of literacies, including numerical literacy and digital literacy," said Claire King, Associate Director for School and Community Partnerships at the P-16 Center.
The IU School of Education partnership with Watson and McCullough has helped enrich and enhance the educational experience for Gary students. Watson students who are part of the school's drum corp performed at the IU School of Education in Bloomington and a Bloomington elementary school in February. Last fall, the P-16 Center helped to organize a Saturday event where students learned to design and build robotics using LEGOs. Mentors from IU Northwest's Student African American Brotherhood organization have connected with Watson students. McCullough has met federal AYP or "Adequate Yearly Progress" in the last two years, a result McCullough's principal credits to the work of her teachers and students with their IU partners.
