Matt Lauer reveals he tried to lure Katie Couric back to Today as he admits the show's problems are 'self-inflicted'
Matt Lauer has admitted that the problems with Today are 'self-inflicted' and revealed that he privately approached Katie Couric to rejoin the show.
In his first interview to address the crisis, Lauer said that the abuse hurled at NBC was 'perhaps deserved' because of the way Ann Curry's departure was handled.
He said that Today became 'too depressing and dark' and that they were driving away viewers with too many graphic stories about crime.
Taking responsibility: Matt Lauer said he offered to leave his job at Today last fall as the morning show fell behind rival Good Morning America
Better days: As seen here in 2000, Today's team of Ann Curry, Al Roker, Katie Couric and Matt Lauer once dominated the morning ratings
In desperation he met with Couric, who was Today co-anchor with Lauer for 15 years until 2006, but negotiations did not work out.
Speaking to the Daily Beast, Lauer said that he even offered to quit last fall over the plunging ratings which saw Today lose out to ABC's Good Morning America for the first time in 16 years.
GMA is now pulling away from Today and cementing its position as the no.1 morning show in America.
Hindsight: In an interview about the struggling morning show, Matt Lauer admitted many of the problems were 'self-inflicted' and said he tried to court Katie Couric for a return
Former partners: Lauer said that rather than forcing Ann Curry out, he warned executives her ouster would be a 'disaster'
For the week of February 25, when Robin Roberts returned from her bone-marrow transplant, GMA got 5.8m viewers - compared to just 4.8m for Today.
The low point for NBC came last year when Curry was forced out after just a year in the job because, she claimed, executives did not like the way she dressed.
Viewers were appalled at the sight of a grown woman weeping on her farewell show and felt she had been treated too harshly.
Lauer told the Daily Beast: 'It was a hard time for everybody.
'We were getting kicked around a lot. Some of it was self-inflicted and perhaps deserved.
'I don't think the show and the network handled the transition well. You don't have to be Einstein to know that.
'It clearly did not help us. We were seen as a family, and we didn't handle a family matter well.'
Lauer turned to his old friend Couric, who was supposedly 'receptive' to the idea of re-joining Today.
The plan was that she would do a daytime show on NBC as well as anchoring Today, but it was rejected as it would be too expensive so she went to ABC instead.
All together: Lauer said the show's fixation on 'tabloid' stories hurt the ratings in the long run
In a frank assessment of what went wrong with Today, Lauer said that the show 'got a little dour and depressing and dark' and that one mother had told him how she turned one story off because it was too grisly.]
Lauer said that producers got 'drunk' on tabloid stories and that they 'did some damage in terms of trust with our viewers'.
He added that 'we want people to feel good about a portion of their morning, and we got away from that'.
Lauer claimed that he was so fed up with the situation - and the grind of the early mornings - that last fall he went to see Steve Burke, the chief executive of NBC Universal, and said: 'If you think the show's better off without me, let me know, and I'll get out of the way'.
But Burke rebuffed him and said: 'You're the best person who's ever done this. We'll get through this.'
Lauer did however get permission during a contractual window to talk to ABC, CBS and HBO, and NBC executives were sure he was going to leave. He eventually decided to stay.
Fighting words: Katie Couric criticized Today for 'going soft' and not featuring enough hard news stories
In the interview Lauer goes through in detail what happened with Curry's departure and claims that he warned executives it would be a 'disaster waiting to happen' but that they ignored his concerns.
The two also supposedly had lunch together in which he admitted to Curry she wasn't his first choice.
Multiple reports have painted a very different picture, however, and said that Lauer was the driving force behind Curry's exit.
Steve Capus, who stepped down last month as NBC News president, said: 'When Matt was informed that we had made this decision, his good counsel was to go slow, to take care of Ann, and to do the right things.
'He was quietly and publicly a supporter of Ann's throughout the entire process. It is unfair that Matt has shouldered an undue amount of blame for a decision he disagreed with.'
For his part Lauer is not self-pitying and admitted he is still the 'luckiest guy I know', not least because of his $20 million a year salary.
New team: Lauer now co-hosts with Curry's replacement, Savannah Guthrie, who he admits was second choice after he failed to win back Katie Couric
He said: 'I'm not going to whine or get depressed. Who's going to feel sorry for me? Nobody..
'In some ways being No. 2 in the ratings is a real shot in the arm, a kick in the pants.
'It makes you hungrier ... I don't think it's a bad thing to have a fire lit under your ass.'
Couric's return to Today would mean that she would need to do some apologising after she attacked the show as stale in an interview last year.
She also claimed that Today has gone 'soft' and slashed the amount of hard news that it did.
Lauer's interview will also be bad news for Savannah Guthrie who replaced Curry as Today co-anchor - because she has now found out that she not his first choice either.

December 14, 2015 - Dark cherry and blackberry fruit. Good Pinot funk and cola notes. Very nice acidity and just the right amount of oak. Not going to peg your needle if you like fruit forward, but a really nice food wine.

September 30, 2014 - Certainly Californian, but rather elegant with fresh acidity that helps this wine go well with food.
Djfermentation Likes this wine: (91 points)
June 4, 2014 - Definitely bid and ripe, more so than I usually drink when it comes to Pinot, however quite tasty. A little pine and funk on the nose with a feel of black cherry cola on the palate.
IamSean wrote:
March 11, 2014 - Decanted for ~ 1 hr. Dark crimson in color. A big ripe nose of red fruit led to a similar profile on the palate. Very ripe strawberry and raspberry with a some darker cherry notes as well. The 15% abv is held by the fruit quite well. A bit of oak showing, but well in check. There seemed to be some earthy notes and spice buried in there, but they were muted by the ripe fruit. Will hold the remainder of the bottles to see if the fruit comes into check.

September 9, 2013 - Drinking absolutely beautifully. Great nose and quite Burgundian in style although it was very clearly California.

Sometimes Feelin' Lyrics
Artist: Jerry Reed
Album: Cookin'
Well, Son;
Sometimes I get that,
Sometimes feelin;
sometimes feelin' like a clown;
Sometime I get that sometimes feelin'
Sometimes going 'round.
I feel just like a rodeo clown;
whose pants keep fallin' down,
and sometimes;
not all the time;
I get the sometime feelin' dumb.

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Teruyoshi Yoshida.
There is a 2-dimensional p-adic Galois representation attached to any modular form which is an eigenform for the Hecke operators. One can reduce it mod p and get an even simpler object – a mod p Galois representation, which will have finite image. One would have thought that nowadays essentially everything was known about this representation, but actually there are still some dangling issues at p. For example – if I give you an explicit modular form (e.g. via its q-expansion), is the associated local mod p representation reducible or irreducible? This question is local, but still poorly understood. I will explain what little I know, most of which is joint work with Toby Gee. In what looks like a sledgehammer-cracking-a-nut approach, we invoke recent deep work of Breuil-Berger and others on the p-adic and mod p Langlands philosophy for GL(2) to get some concrete down-to-earth results.

MySpace gets in tune with Facebook
San Francisco: MySpace has begun letting users synchronize updates with Facebook, the social networking superstar that supplanted the firm that once ruled in that arena.
"This new sync functionality is part of an ongoing effort to make it simple for people to share their updates beyond MySpace and allow fans and friends to interact with that content across the Web," MySpace said in a release.
News Corporation-owned MySpace had already let users share updates in the form of real-time musings, comments, or observations at hot microblogging service Twitter.
Instructions regarding how to get in tune with Facebook were available at myspace.com/guide/sync.
Tuning into Facebook will also allow MySpace members to share music, video, games, pictures and other digital content with friends at Facebook.
"This is particularly exciting for the millions of musicians on MySpace who can now use this tool as a complement to their MySpace Music presence and share their vast library of content," MySpace said.
Since being eclipsed by Facebook two years ago, MySpace has worked to position itself as a platform for musicians and their fans.
Facebook boasts more than 500 million members while MySpace reportedly has a fraction of that number.
MySpace executives at a conference in July unveiled plans to "go younger, go youthful" and put a premium on "creativity and self-expression."
More emphasis, for example, will be placed on MySpace as a destination for casual gaming, according to executives.

Simply the best book I've read.!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Popcorn (Paperback)
As a huge blackadder fan and someone who admires Ben Eltons comic writing I simply had to read at least one of his books. I chose Popcorn by reputation and was not dissappointed. Ben Elton manages to craft a novel which makes you live the whole issue of violence on TV and enters you into an impossible dillema. I've been so impressed with this book that I have now read all of Eltons work.. I love his work and can't wait for the next installment.

Submit Benchmarks!
Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 6970 vs Radeon HD 7950 3GB
IntroThe Radeon HD 6970 has a GPU core speed of 880 MHz, and the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM runs at 1375 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 1536 Stream Processors, 96 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.
Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 7950 3GB, which features a clock speed of 800 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1250 MHz. It also makes use of a 384-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 1792 SPUs, 112 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.
Display Graphs
Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks
Power Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory Bandwidth
As far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 7950 3GB should in theory be much superior to the Radeon HD 6970 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 7950 3GB is a small bit (about 6%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6970. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon HD 6970 should be a bit (about 10%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 7950 3GB, and should be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.
Price Comparison
Display Prices
Please note that the price comparisons are based on search keywords - sometimes it might show cards with very similar names that are not exactly the same as the one chosen in the comparison. We do try to filter out the wrong results as best we can, though.
Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

Lack of progress is status quo when it comes to prospects of raising federal gasoline tax
By Jeff Berman · April 3, 2014
As we have written about extensively, having sufficient capital in the HTF is critical as its revenues are allocated for federal highway, transit, and highway safety programs. But as we also know the main funding source for the HTF, the federal gasoline tax, has not increased from its current levels of 23.4 cents for diesel and 18.4 cents per gallon of gasoline since 1994. What's more, diesel taxes represent about 90 percent of Highway Trust Fund (HTF) net revenues.

Thinking spring…
By Jeff Berman · March 27, 2014
It goes without saying that this winter had major impacts, none of which were really good, in terms of supply chain efficiency for the most part. But with the calendar indicating spring has sprung, it seems like a good time to look back at what everyone dealt with and how, hopefully, things get better from a volume and timing perspective for all supply chain stakeholders.

That's me in the middle, although I'll be sporting a totally different colour and style of hair and beard this year. Look for the guy in a suit with a Lemmy beard, oh yeah!
I'm down for the full weekend this year so if there's enough of us arriving on the Friday night for the RotF screening anyone fancy a meet and greet over a few drinks on the Friday night (given that there's the party at the hotel on the Saurday night, lots of drinking!)?
Hotel wise I'm booked in a double at the Holiday Inn Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm still waiting to hear on whether I'm splitting that with a friend or not so I might be able to put people up on some or all nights saving folks on full room rates (DM gets priority), although the hotel will seriously frown on having more than 2 people to a room. I'll hopefully be able to update on whether and which nights I can potentially room share over the next couple of weeks. Just a note to anyone who wants to stay on site and hasn't booked yet though that they were already out of twins for the weekend when I booked the room last week, so room shares are probably going to have to be on a same bed basis. Saving money on accomodations does mean more for toys though folks.

With the formal greeting out of the way, thanks for joining our family after lurking for so long. I myself was in the same boat about 5 years ago, lurking then finally joining.

Also DM tells me that there's a chance he won't be able to make it this year so I'm going to step up to do the news coverage for the site. This will mean taking plenty of pictures and making notes through the panels etc, but if anyone wants to contribute any words or pictures (more pics the better!) for the article feel free to message me with your contributions in the couple of days following the con and I'll endeavour to have everything editted together by midweek.
Finally now that we're getting a little closer to the con we should all be thinking about making some solid arrangements for the whens and wheres of the forum meet up. For anyone coming for the RotF screening on the Friday I'd suggest meeting up ahead of the movie in the main con hall (where there'll be some cartoons playing through the early evening) and grabbing a few drinks after the movie. Given that many of us will likely not be in Birmingham until the Saturday however I'm going to message Simon and get us a half hour slot in the second hall booked for the forum meet. The thinking being that if we can all get together fairly early on the Saturday we should all be able to recognise one another over the rest of the con.
Four weeks to go!

Now I am going to show up on Friday and stay in Waaaaghlord's room, well except when we're at the con and doing stuff and such.
Here's the programme on AA.
So where do we meet up and what shall we do?
I don't think I'm too keen on seeing the Animated movie again, but it depends if it's a huge cinema like screen and feel I may want to see it just for that cinema feeling.
I do want to see ROTF in the cinema, as I haven't seen it in English yet.
I think we should meet up at 17.30 sharp, introduce ourselves, and find a place to eat and drink a bit before ROTF.

An enjoyable thriller,
This review is from: The String Diaries (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
Hannah Wilde has been preparing for the worst since childhood. Like her parents, grandparents, and great grandparents before her, she lives in fear of a terrible evil, one that has the power to infiltrate even the very heart of her family.
"The String Diaries" takes a classic cat-and-mouse thriller and gives it supernatural twist. The story roams through many periods and locations all linked by a chillingly-depicted villain. This is a long book but I found myself turning the pages at an ever increasing speed as the tension built to an exciting denouement.

Can Orlando Happen Here?
By Roger LaLonde Can Orlando happen here? Collier County Sheriff Kevin Rambosk is pondering that question like so many law enforcement agencies across the country. The question to him, "Does the FBI alert the Sheriff's Office on potential terrorists or terrorist activity?" "No" was the sobering response. Rambosk spoke at the East Naples Civic Association luncheon on June 16. It was five days after the horrific shooting and killing of 49 people at The Pulse in Orlando in the early hours of June 12. Rambosk followed by saying that the county has forged a relationship with the FBI and does ... Read More »

Since then, 19 more have been deployed, all of them purchased by the city for the pilot project at a cost of $10,000, which includes installation, as well as ... Read More »
Old Glory Flies Again Over Goodland Post Office New postal clerk gets it done
By Barry Gwinn Judith Pritchard was Goodland's last postmaster. She was popular here and served faithfully for eight years until her retirement on July 31, 2012. Due to budget deficits, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has since cut back on personnel and closed some offices. Goodland was spared, but instead of a postmaster, a series of postal clerks ran our post office. They were Shannon Mitchell, Marie Thompson, Rhonda Joyce, and our current clerk, Asiel Rodriguez. A sprinkling of substitutes, filled in at times. At some point, the American Flag was taken down, likely for a coming storm. Due to ... Read More »

By Barry Gwinn On March 4, 2016, Governor Rick Scott paid a visit to Marco Island Academy (MIA).

I've been unabashedly ludditic this week, arguing for (or, at least, expressing a love of) the handmade book. Just to reassure you that I'm every bit the modern guy, I should also confess to having spent an inordinate amount of my e-lunch-hours this week in virtual France. If you haven't heard, a six-year project has come to fruition in which the 4,500 manuscript pages of Madame Bovary, archived at the University of Rouen, have been loosed on the Web. As the Independent reported:
The project was launched six years ago as a tool for literary scholars. The municipal library in Rouen, which holds the
Flaubert manuscripts, appealed to academics to help transcribe the hand-written texts. It was rapidly decided to
open up the transcription process to enthusiastic amateurs and to make the site suitable for the general reader as
well as the specialist.
The manuscripts were shared out for transcription between 130 volunteers, aged from 16 to 76, in a dozen countries,
including France, Portugal, Austria, Belgium, Colombia, Ivory Coast, and New Zealand. "They range from sixth-
formers to a cleaning lady and an oil prospector," said Professor Danielle Girard, who co-ordinated the transcription
As beautifully communist as that operative approach surely is, the result for the rest of us is just as beautifully functional–the Internet at its best. To use the thing, first you go here, where you'll see this:
Then, you pick a chapter, say Chapter One, part one, "Entrée de Charles au collège," which will take you to the below, where, if you move your cursor over a section of the text, it gets hi-lit…
And then, once you cliquez, you get this pot of gold:
Yes, a split-screen that gives you Flaubert's manuscript page and a transcription thereof–4,500 of them! Mais oui: c'est tout à fait extraordinaire. I propose it as your weekend read.

i. stand with israel
I listen to a lot of conservative talk radio. Confident masculine voices telling me the enemy is everywhere and victory is near — I often find it affirming: there's a reason I don't think that way. Last spring, many right-wing commentators made much of a Bloomberg poll that asked Americans, "Are you more sympathetic to Netanyahu or Obama?" Republicans picked the Israeli prime minister over their own president, 67 to 16 percent. There was a lot of affected shock that things had come to this. Rush Limbaugh said of Netanyahu that he wished "we had this kind of forceful moral, ethical clarity leading our own country"; Mark Levin described him as "the leader of the free world." For a few days there I yelled quite a bit in my car.
The one conservative radio show I do find myself enjoying is hosted by Dennis Prager. At the Thanksgiving dinner of American radio personalities (Limbaugh is your jittery brother-in-law, Michael Savage is your racist uncle, Hugh Hewitt is Hugh Hewitt) Dennis Prager is the turkey-carving patriarch trying to keep the conversation moderately high-minded. While Prager obviously doesn't like liberals — "The gaps between the left and right on almost every issue that matters are in fact unbridgeable," he has said — he often invites them onto his show for debate, which is rare among right-wing hosts. Yet his gently exasperated take on the Obama–Netanyahu matchup was among the least charitable: "Those who do not confront evil resent those who do."

Last Saturday I headed solo to London to go to the Bloggers Ball, hosted by Scarlett London, at DSTRKT. This was my first big blogging event and it was also my first time ever going to London on my own but it was so worth it as I feel so much more confident now and I also had the best time! It was so nice to be surrounded my like minded bloggers and feeling the love for what we were all doing; the blogging community really is a great place with great people!

Before I get into this, I just want to say that these are my opinions and of course, you are free to make your own mind up on this, but I just want to give my thoughts and maybe help a few of you who are still on the fence.

My First Physiotherapy Session
Ever since coming out of hospital over a year ago, I've really been struggling with joint pain. I had kind of thought that it was due to loosing so much weight and muscle and been in bed for over two weeks and the pain was due to that and that once I started getting active again, the pain would eventually go.
Fast forward a year and I was suffering from pain in my ankles, knees, hips and small of my back so I decided to go to the doctors and get it checked out. Because I'd been on steroids, have ulcerative colitis and have a family history of arthritis, I had all the blood tests to see if that was the case and luckily (and quite surprisingly!) I don't have arthritis!
However, I do still have pain which kind of sucks. So I've been sent to physiotherapy to see is that helps before they send me to have more x-rays see consultants so last Thursday I headed to my first physio session.
I had one of those annoying moments that the day I go to physiotherapy is the first time in weeks I've had no pain or stiffness at all. Typical! I first had a chat with my physio, discussing when and where I get the pains, my medical history etcetera etcetera. I then started doing some exercises such as touching my toes (which I've never been able to do!) and then I had to do things such as using my legs to much against things.
Turns out I have pretty weak joints. That's what we learnt this week. So I've been set homework to do one exercise everyday. I have to stand on one leg and bend 10 times on each leg and do three sets of that a day. It may sound pretty simple but it's actually quite hard! I'm also looking into starting pilates as it's really good for strengthening your joints and muscles!
So there's a little health update for you all and my first time physio experience. Let me know in the comments if you've ever had physiotherapy and what you thought of it.
