Talk Media Personality Ed Schultz Reveals Wife Wendy is Battling Ovarian Cancer. Syndicated talk radio host and MSNBC personality Ed Schultz has been off of both of his programs for the past week and took the time yesterday to call in to his radio show to speak with guest host Mike Papantonio to announce that his wife Wendy is being treated for ovarian cancer. Schultz told his audience they received the diagnosis last Wednesday and Wendy underwent surgery on Tuesday of this week. "The doctors feel like they got all of it. It was a very successful surgery, but we got a long way to go." Schultz took the opportunity to thank the staffs of both of his programs for their help in covering while he's been away and said he will be missing from both programs for some time, although how long is not known. "Doing a radio and TV show isn't exactly what I'm thinking about right now. I'm going to be with my wife through all of this…We both feel like we've been through the wringer and you lose track of time, you lose track of what you're doing. And everything changes, but we're going to be OK. We're going to get through it." The staff of TALKERS magazine wishes the best to Ed and Wendy at this challenging time in their lives.

Morning Hosts, Former Employer Settle in Potentially Precedent-Setting Case. When Q92 (WDJQ, Canton, Ohio) morning hosts Pat DeLuca and Charlotte DiFranco left the D.A. Peterson, Inc.-owned station after their contracts expired in February of this year and began an internet radio show, Peterson demanded the two cease their project saying it was in violation of their non-compete. The two sued Peterson and in April Stark County Common Pleas Judge Charles E. Brown Jr. ruled the two forms of communicating – webcasting and terrestrial radio – were different enough that the duo were not in violation of their non-compete. Peterson responded by asking they be prohibited from webcasting or streaming within a 60-mile radius of the station (although TALKERS is not sure how that would be accomplished or enforced). Judge Brown denied that request but did rule DeLuca and DiFranco may not use tapes of programs they did while working for Peterson and that they must return the tapes. Also, Brown ruled Peterson owes the two back pay for vacation. As it stands the sides are agreeing to settle the dispute and Peterson says the two will be paid when all the tapes have been returned. Whether this case sets any sort of precedent regarding the difference between terrestrial and internet broadcasting in future disputes is obviously unknown at this point, but is nonetheless an interesting ruling as far as talent and employers are concerned.

Tom Leykis and Lionel to Discuss Their High-Profile Pioneering Digital Efforts at NMS. Two questions (or variations thereof) regularly fielded by the TALKERS editorial staff these days are "How's Tom Leykis doing with his new online talk show?" and "What's Lionel up to these days with his online project?" Both will be answered in detail straight from the horses' mouths at the New Media Seminar's Digital Workshop in New York City this Thursday, June 7. As West Coast-based Leykis approaches the two-month mark into the launch of his "New Normal Network" online project and East Coast-based Lionel chalks up two years of operating "LionelMedia.com," both individualistic graduates of the terrestrial talk show scene continue to gain traction on both the audience and revenue fronts as the industry watches with great interest. Leykis tells TALKERS, "We had over 1.1 million sessions from our debut on April 2nd until April 30th. That number would most closely approximate cume. In our first week of 24/7 streaming, we had exactly 401,180 listeners. That was more listeners than the weekly cumes of 14 L.A./Orange County radio stations in March." On the revenue front, Leykis is also very pleased with immediate results saying, "At the current pace, we will make over 100K in revenue, but we are conservatively estimating 100K for the year." Leykis explains the key to making an online radio operation work is to provide specific listeners something they cannot get anywhere else. He tells TALKERS, "You really have to super-serve your P1s…even in the process of selling advertising. We go out into the marketplace and ask radio-friendly businesses the question, 'Are you being priced out of radio?' Because our operating costs are so much lower than radio we can offer these small businesses very affordable deals. And when you specifically target business owners who are already in your audience as listeners, well it just makes a lot of sense. This is what we are doing and it is working." Lionel describes his digital effort to TALKERS as follows: "This month is the second anniversary of the launch of LionelMedia.com, a paid subscription podcasting outlet. I podcast an hour daily of uninterrupted, unedited, commercial and break-free freeform-yet-structured spoken word. It, frankly, knows no peer. Every day I post news stories, columns, ideas, opinions and the like that supplement the subject or content of that day's podcast. I'll also attach a YouTube video of my latest PIX11 commentary on myriad subjects. To be most precise: I do exactly what I want. Let that sink in. My podcasts are not profane or blue in the least — in fact they could be played in their entirety on terrestrial radio. That, I feel, is a drawing point and basis for much of our success." Although Lionel no longer does a terrestrial radio talk show, he does regularly scheduled commentaries on Tribune television stations including New York's WPIX channel 11 and Merlin Media's all-news FMs in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago in addition to appearing as a regular guest on a number of terrestrial radio talk shows…exposure that helps drive traffic to his online media station. The Digital Workshop will be moderated by Ellen Ratner of Talk Radio News Service and Dan Patterson of KoPoint. The June 7 industry-only New Media Seminar/NYC is an advance sellout. For information call 413-565-5413.
Wisconsin Recall Spurs Question of "Equal Time" on Milwaukee News/Talk Outlets – and Beyond. Progressive political groups are charging Clear Channel's WISN, Milwaukee and Journal Broadcasting's WTMJ, Milwaukee with violating the FCC's "Zapple Doctrine" which mandates "equal time" to all qualified political candidates within 60 days of an election under certain circumstances. TALKERS legal editor Steven J.J. Weisman writes that talk hosts often benefit from exemption from the "Zapple Doctrine" by qualifying as a "news interview program." But that exemption is not always a slam dunk. Read Weisman's column about how the courts tend to interpret this section of FCC regulations here.

Stephen King's WZON, Bangor Drops Local Sports Talk; Dismisses Two. Give WZON, Bangor owner Stephen King credit for manning up and personally delivering the news to sports talk hosts Dale Duff and Clem LaBree that they were being dismissed for financial reasons. Duff and LaBree hosted the 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm sports talk show on WZON-AM as well as covering a slew of local sports events, including high school and college games. The Bangor Daily News reports King told the two the change had nothing to do with the quality of their work but because the programming was losing money. WZON-AM had ceased being a full-time sports talk station in November of 2010 and was carrying much of the progressive talk format from sister WZON-FM - The Pulse. Duff had been with the station for 19 years. Both are receiving severance from the company. Duff and LaBree's show will be replaced by a simulcast from WZON-FM although the station will continue to air sports play-by-play.
SRN's Tom Tradup Makes Statement on End of "Richard Land Live" Program. The Ethics and Religious Liberty Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention issued two reprimands to Dr. Richard Land for comments he made about the Trayvon Martin case that it deemed "irresponsible, insensitive and racially charged." It also ended his radio program that it produced that was distributed via Salem Radio Network. The controversy surrounding the statements was enhanced further by allegations Land read them from another published opinion that was not cited. SRN vice president of news/talk programming Tom Tradup tells TALKERS, "Theologians have a different perspective on talk radio than the rest of our industry does. What some see as "hurtful language" on the Trayvon Martin case is, in reality, part of a free and open exchange of ideas and opinions that is the keystone of talk radio. And by talk radio standards, nothing Dr. Land may have failed to "fully attribute" on the air or on his website rose to the level of so-called plagiarism. Nevertheless, we respect the ERLC's decision and thus the final edition of 'Richard Land Live' aired Saturday, June 2.

FM Talk Winning in PM Drive with Alan Cox Show on Cleveland's Legendary Rocker WMMS-FM. The Alan Cox show is quietly defying the conventional wisdom about what talk targeting younger demos on FM is all about. Ensconced in afternoon drive on Clear Channel's legendary rock outlet WMMS-FM, Cleveland, Cox's success is not a widely told tale in the radio industry, in part because it doesn't appear to be a piece of a corporately directed programming puzzle with companywide ambitions. Cox credits local management for daring to be innovative with spoken-word programming outside the realms of news/talk and sports talk. "'MMS, everybody knows, is a legendary station and management had the foresight to realize music on FM is kind of going away and to see if it can work with two talk products and it has worked amazingly well. The foresight that brought them to try this hybrid station also makes them realize that you have to honor the heritage the station has but everything has to move forward."

As the neutral tones of modernism fade from favor, a flood of color is invading the home. So who's picking the palette?
Heather. Sage. Claret. Plum. One of the most conspicuous design trends of the last year or so has been the blitz of color -- a full-on rainbow of bright assertive hues--in places where subdued tones had previously reigned.
The fashionable kitchen, for years cloaked in stainless steel and creamy beige countertops, is growing dandified with plum colored refrigerators and taxi-yellow dishwashers. Viking, for example, added four shades last year to bring the color roster for its ovens up to 14. Blue Star, that also makes restaurant grade ovens for the home, has tricked itself out with 190 colors. These and other manufacturers are looking for the competitive advantage that comes with custom color, though they should probably issue a buyer beware warning: appliances are a long-range investment, and that orange microwave will no doubt look like bell bottoms in a few years.
Home electronics, that have historically been encased in black or beige boxes, is also undergoing the peacock effect, in part because manufacturers are hiring signature designers to give their products cachet. KEM Acoustics, for example, recently hired Ross Lovegrove, the British designer, to create 6-foot-tall speakers as sculptural as anything Henry Moore created. The aim, of course, is to bring electronics out from the credenzas and into the foreground.
Underlying these trends is a growing appreciation for how color helps sell products. So who decides what color your next refrigerator will be? The public tends to assume these choices are left to the vagaries of fashion. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The color palette for virtually every field--furniture, electronics, advertising, cars, etc.--is determined years in advance by a little-known non-profit organization called the Color Management Group. At its five annual conferences held all over the world, hundreds of members convene in private sessions to debate what colors should be prescribed for the coming years. In generating their forecast, the delegates consider a broad range of political and cultural events, including Broadway shows (expect to see more of Shrek green) and sports events (the Beijing Olympics has put the red tone of the Chinese flag into wide circulation).
As if to combat the financial gloom around us, the colorists' picks for the coming seasons include Mimosa, a brilliant yellow hue that suggests nothing so much as sunny optimism.

Even As A Pack-In, Little Deviants Isn't Worth The Time
Little Deviants came packed in with every Playstation Vita First Edition Bundle. At first, it's easy to see why Sony would want this to be the first experience that consumers had with their Vita; much like Nintendo's Wii Sports, Little Deviants acts as an introduction to the system's numerous features. But after just a few minutes of play, it became abundantly clear that Little Deviants had neither the focus nor the simple charm that made Wii Sports great. Worse still, the game's awful controls actually made me question whether some of the Vita's more outlandish features, like rear touch and gyroscopic motion control, could ever function properly in a portable game.
Little Deviants is a collection of minigames, although that may not have come across in some of the game's marketing, which focused heavily on some of the more puzzle-oriented games. The titular Deviants have been stranded on a strange planet and need your help to rebuild their ship. Naturally, you'll do so by completing a bunch of minigames. To the game's credit, there are tons of these games, and they are easily accessible through a story mode that throws you right into the action. There's no Mario Party-styled board game aesthetic to dilute the experience. If anything, however, this easy access will only cause you to tire of the shallow, uninspired games even faster.
The first game that you'll play is the terrain-deforming minigame that was shown off when Sony first unveiled its new portable. By touching the rear touch panel, you will push the earth upwards, creating hills on the screen. You will have to use these hills to guide a round Deviant past enemies and into the numerous collectibles scattered about the levels. This game wraps up everything that's wrong with Little Deviants in a nice little bow. First of all, the core concept of the game isn't engaging enough to support any more than a minute of actual gameplay. You're supposed to roll around the level avoiding enemies and collecting keys, but with no additional controls or mechanics and no real challenge, the game gets boring before you've even passed the first area. The fact that there are multiple areas drags the game down even further. Little Deviants must think it's a lot of fun, because its minigames seem to drag on forever. It's a testament to jus thow boring most of the concepts are that this eternity is, in reality, just a few minutes. Finally, the rear touch panel is not nearly precise enough to shoulder such am important task as controlling your character. You'll find yourself bouncing all over the map in a wild attempt to regain control.
These complaints can be leveled at most of Little Deviants' minigames. They're boring to begin with, drag on for way too long, and will frustrate you with their unintuitive controls. A few, such as a Face Radiers-styled AR shooting gallery, are tolerable enough to rise from the muck of the rest of the game, but are by no means what I would consider fun. If you received Little Deviants in your First Edition Bundle, you can safely toss it in the closet somewhere and let it gather dust. But if you're considering paying actual money for this, think again. Even for children, the braindead minigames and piss-poor controls will quickly lead to boredom. There are plenty of great, family friendly games on the Vita already, and if you're in the market for one check out Modnation Racers or Rayman Origins. Leave Little Deviants on the shelf where it belongs.

Beards are interchangeable, so you don't have to settle for just one beard all the time. You can switch them out to suit your daily facial hair fancies!
Knitting: Ankle Sock
I adore autumn. It is, by far, my favorite time of year, when the dreadful summer heat is swept away by the September breeze, but the cold winter winds have yet to arrive. Sitting on the porch, sipping a steaming cup of coffee, as the orange and gold leaves drift gently to the ground - that is what paradise looks like to me.
Knitting: Scarf
While brain-storming ways to add a hood to a scarf, I had an epiphany. Why not use short-rows to make the scarf flare out for the hood and then narrow again afterward? Like the heel of a sock, but for your head. Brilliant! It shall be done.

Yellow Poppies Laptop Skin and Happy New Year

Merry-go-Round: How do you celebrate Christmas/holidays?
It's time for another ride on the merry-go-round! Jump on and join a group of artists/crafts-women as they link around the world and tell you a little about their lives in art and craft.
This month's question is: How do you celebrate Christmas/holidays? What traditions do you have?
As a Chinese, the most important holiday to us is the Spring Festival. It is first 3 days of new year according to Chinese calender.
In Singapore, everyone will forget about their work and take rest during this period. The people who work the hardest such as small business owners also take at least one and half day to celebrate the Chinese new year. They usually work 7 days a week. If you only eat Chinese food, during the Chinese New Year, you have to cook yourself. Because most of the eating places are closed. Only MacDonalds and Pizza Hut are still open.
Red is the color of Chinese New Year. A lot of people buy a whole set of new clothes for Chinese New Year from underwear to outside dress with red and yellow. Red is a auspicious color that symbolize good luck. Hongbao or red packet is red. It is used for people to wrap money to give to unmarred people or children. Children will go to relatives houses to show respect and gather red packets. It is a big activity for them during Chinese New Year. I guess, Chinese people are more direct. We usually don't send gift to each other, but red packets.
One of the big activities in Chinese New Year is the pray for good luck. It is also very direct. In the street and shops in Singapore, you hear all the Chinese New Year special songs that wish money god to show mercy to you to make you rich in the new year. I was amazed when I was first hear those songs that I never heard in China before how straight they are to ask for rich and money. For example, one song sings
"Wish you good luck in the new year, if you buy lottery, you will win instantly, if you do business, you will gain great with little investment".
Food is big thing in the Chinese New Year. New Year eve is the gathering of all family members to have the dinner together. All other days, relatives visit each other. You need to prepare goodies and various kind food to treat them.
I like the atmosphere of Chinese New Year. When I was small, I loved it because this was a special day that my parents allowed me to play till very late without worrying about my homework. It was also the only day I can wear new cloth and got so much food to eat.
Now, I love the relax mood of the Chinese New Year. It is such a change from normal days that you see so many shops are closed. Singapore is a very competitive place. People always walk fast and there are always things to do urgently. But in the Chinese New Year, you just forget about all this.
There are so much more I can write. But to finish this post I have to stop here.
Please do drop by others to find out interest things about holidays

Laptop Skin for My New MacBook Pro 15" and Merry Christmas
I just got my new MacBook Pro 15". I immediately made a skin for it with a matching wrist area skin as well. These are the Christmas gifts for myself.
The design is a watercolor effect of bird and flower. I love the new look of my MacBook.
A note about applying the wrist area skin, since the middle part is cut, the skin is not easy to be applied due to stretching when you pull it. One thing you can do is to apply a moist cloth to both sticker part of the skin and the wrist area. But be careful do not use too much water to let water drip into the laptop. With the help of a bit water, you can lay down or pull the skin easily if it is not well applied.
The good thing about the wrist area skin is that you will not spoil your laptop due to your bracelet or your watch. Of course, it is so beautiful when you look at it as well.
Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

VIP Blue Owl Laptop Skin
I saw this name of the blue from a cover of a magazine. I am not sure why they call it VIP blue. But I instantly like the name and the blue and want to try it on my painting. This owl is really beautiful with this blue. I wonder how come I never thought about it before.
The laptop skin prints are so beautiful when it is magnified.

Work in Progess Polka Dot Tree and Singapore Food
I like balloon shape trees. This is another one with polka dots and sunflowers. I just finished till this point. I am not sure what is the next for it. I'll think about it and see what I can do with it later.
My elder daughter came back from USA to spend the winter holiday at home. I try to learn some new dishes to cook some good food for the family. Nothing beats a delicious dinner.
I am lucky it is easier now days to be a good mother. I can buy some mixed ingredient from the supermarket to cook meat, fish or vegetables. For example, you can cook chilly crab easily with mixed sources and you don't have to buy each individual ingredient and prepare yourself. You just need to cut the crab, put some oil and put the mixed ingredient and cook till the crab is ready.
There are ready sources for all those famous Singapore food such as Malay beef Rendang, Chicken Curry and Lakasa. Without these ready packet of ingredient, you may need to spend whole day to prepare them because you have to buy all ingredients, wash, cut them and mix them to become paste.

Hydrangea and Laptop Skin
I like hydrangeas and love the soft feelings of this piece. It is very sweet and I almost feel that I can smell the scent from the flowers.
Tuesday, December 16, 2008
Best Sellers of the Laptop Skins and Wrist Area Skins
Some of the best sellers of the laptop skins are listed here. The owls are most popular ones. I love them.
For me, the Singing birds are the best. I like them because they have so many colors to choose and the design is beautiful as well.
You can also order the wrist area skins to match the laptop skins. Just send me the dimension of the wrist area and the size of the touch pad area. You also need to give the distance of the touch pad from the four sides top, right, down and left. I can cut the hole for you.
The example wrist area is as the follows:
The white area is the touch pad area. When you cover the laptop skin to the wrist area, the touch pad is not covered.
In order for me to cut the touch pad hole for you, you need to give me the four distances of the touch pad to the top, right, bottom and left as indicated in the above image as d1, d2, d3, d4.

Japanese Garden Prints and Laptop Skin
This is inspired by the Japanese style cherry or plum flowers.
Most of the day was spent in the children's clinic. My baby had a bit red with one of her eyes. She was accidentally hit in her eye when she was playing with a child from my neighbor yesterday.
The good thing is after a thorough check up by a wonderful pediatrician, she is fine. It just reminds me that I have to vigilantly watch her to protect her from any harm.
Here are the laptop skins. The red color matches the dark red laptop nicely I think. If you are interested to buy the laptop skins, please go to my dawanda store. There is 11% sales going on these days.

Groundbreaking for Downtown hotel project delayed two weeks
EVANSVILLE - A groundbreaking for Evansville's convention hotel project, which had been scheduled for Jan. 23, will be pushed back at least two weeks, the Redevelopment Commission was told Tuesday.
Weather and scheduling conflicts made the delay necessary, said Steve Schaefer, chief of staff to Mayor Lloyd Winnecke. A new date has not been set.
Schaefer also said hotel developer HCW has discovered underground moorings that were not removed during demolition of the parking garage for the former Executive Inn on Walnut Street — the site where the hotel is to be built.
He said HCW is trying to determine if those moorings need to be removed, or if they can be worked around once construction of the hotel begins.
The hotel, a 257-room Hilton DoubleTree, is expected to take about 18 months to complete, with an opening in the latter half of 2015. The project's development firm, HCW, and City-County Building Commission Director Ben Miller were in Indianapolis Tuesday presenting plans to the Indiana Building Commission.
City officials said the groundbreaking's delay does not signal any significant hangup of the hotel project.
"Work is being done, but the ceremony has kind of hit a snag on scheduling," Schaefer said. "The more important thing is that different steps in the process are being met."
The project is to cost about $71 million, and it is to include the hotel, apartments, a parking garage, sky bridges and renovations to the convention center, which Vanderburgh County Commissioners voted recently to rename Old National Events Plaza.
The City Council last year agreed to sell bonds subsidizing $20 million of the project's cost. Old National Bank is financing up to $14 million.

Serologic Testing for Syphilis
Diagnosis: Contemporary Algorithm
April 2011
The contemporary algorithm for syphilis serology has several advantages, including a specific screening test that yields an objective result. In addition, this approach lends itself to high throughput, automated screening by methods such as EIA, chemiluminescence immunoassay or multiplex flow immunoassay technologies, so this is algorithm is often appealing to high-volume reference laboratories.
However, this reverse testing algorithm comes with several significant limitations that we should discuss. First, most treponemal assays, especially those based on newer technologies such as EIA or multiplex platforms, are more expensive compared to RPR. Second, treponemal tests remain positive following therapy, so the implementation of the reverse algorithm has led to many health care providers and laboratorians asking, "How do we interpret results from patients that are treponemal screen positive, but negative by nontreponemal tests?"

- Arizona is 8-1 SU in its last 9 games at home
- The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Arizona's last 6 games when playing San Francisco
NFL Pick – Week 8
Game Overview
Even though there have been some cracks in the foundation with two stunning straight-up losses as a favorite, most people would still agree that San Francisco remains one of the best teams in the NFL. At 5-2 SU and 4-3 against the spread it has forged it way back to the top of the NFC West and appears poised to make another deep run in the playoffs.
Quarterback Alex Smith continues to manage the offense well, but the 49ers primary game plan is to rely on a punishing rushing attack led by Frank Gore and a shutdown defense that is ranked first in the NFL in total yards allowed and second in points allowed. The problem with this team is its inability to play from behind if it gets down by more than one or two scores. The best way to beat the 49ers is to force them to have to beat you through the air. Also, keep an eye on Gore's status for Monday night after bruising his ribs last week against Seattle.
Arizona's fast 4-0 start is rapidly fading away with three-straight losses to St.Louis, Buffalo and Minnesota. It is now 4-3 SU and 3-3-1 ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in six of its first seven games. It is little wonder that the total continues to stay UNDER considering that the Cardinals have failed to score more than 20 points five times this season.
The revolving door at quarterback has swung back in favor of John Skelton after Kevin Kolb went down with a severe rib injury. Skelton will not have to look back over his shoulder for at least a month unless the Cardinals decide to give Ryan Lindley a shot to run the show. It probably would not matter much considering how anemic this unit has been as of late. Fortunately, Arizona has a shutdown defense of its own that is only giving-up an average of 16.9 points a game.
It is hard to see either team putting more than 20 points on the board so the UNDER is a pretty solid play at 37.5, but stick with San Francisco to grind-out a win on the road that more than covers the seven points against the floundering Cardinals. San Francisco 20 Arizona 10

Finally a Labour party policy we can agree with…cutting taxes…oh wait it is UK Labour not the Labour party in NZ.
George Osborne should cut income tax in next week's Budget to kick-start Britain's economy, the shadow chancellor tells the Daily Telegraph.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Ed Balls insists that a cut in the basic rate of income tax — funded by a temporary rise in borrowing — would ultimately pay for itself as it would spark economic growth.
He says "something must be done now" as Britain is facing an economic depression "like the 1930s".Â
However, the shadow chancellor defends Gordon Brown's economic record, saying that the previous Labour government did not borrow too much, or increase public spending unreasonably.
Mr Balls's demand for an emergency tax cut echoes calls from Conservative MPs and business groups that the Chancellor must introduce radical new tax policies in the Budget if Britain is to avoid a triple-dip recession.
However, George Osborne has indicated that he will resist the calls as his priority remains reducing the deficit and bringing Britain's borrowing under control.

dc.description.abstract | This study will analyze the impact of eRecruiting on the undergraduate student population at Duke University. Specifically, it will focus on how the eRecruiting platform alters the academically accepted career decision-making models put forth by many experts. Traditional models propose that in order to make a decision, one must first accumulate full information on the available jobs in the market; however, eRecruiting undermines the process by offering a skewed vision of the external job market. A representative sample of 1,221 jobs listed on eRecruiting was coded by both industry and occupation. The resulting distribution was then compared to nationally representative data and the findings suggest that the eRecruiting site leads to an institutionalized constrained choice set which, in turn, constrains the job search process for Duke students. These findings present many implications for Duke and its graduating students as well as for universities across the country. | en_US |

New York, NY, October 20, 2003 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) accepts the apology of the editors of The New Republic for the recent column by Senior Editor Gregg Easterbrook, which included references to "Jewish" Hollywood executives in an online opinion article about violence, greed and the film industry. The editors' apology was published today on The New Republic Web site.
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:
We welcome and accept the apology from the editors of The New Republic. The editors have made clear that the magazine does not condone anti-Semitism in any form and recognizes the legitimate concerns of its readers.The editors recognize that while Gregg Easterbrook may not have intended to offend, he was wrong to bring the Jewishness of Hollywood executives into a discussion about money, greed and the film industry. Those words, the editors aptly note, are code words derived from the lexicon of anti-Semites, and therefore need to be condemned regardless of the writer's intent.
At this point we consider the matter closed.
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.
