Holister Sweaters Contain Rabbit Hair!
Over a year ago
Recently I bought a sweater from Hollister, and when my mom washed it, she noticed the tag said it was made of rabbit hair. She knew I would have an issue with that, so she immediately informed me about it. I searched about it, and most of their sweaters DO contain hair. I am extremely upset and will no longer buy from there. (I rarely did before anyways) But, I wanted to let the world know about it. What could we do about this? Has anyone else come across this yet?

@EmilySeay That's horrible! Be sure to check tags before you buy next time. 🙂
@annie-l Here's a link to a sweater from Hollister that is made from a percentage of angora wool:

Hey @EmilySeay,
Thanks for letting us know about this. We'll check it out! Remeber that the best way to stop people from buying fur is by letting them know how cruel it actually is. Be sure to share this video with everyone you know: http://features.peta2.com/furisdead/WhatsWrongWithFur.aspx and e-mail me at [email protected] so that I can send you some of our fur-free leaflets!
Talk to you soon!

@annie-I Sorry for the late reply. Well I purchased the sweater in store, and I couldn't find it online. But, I'm sure many also contain the hair. What could we do about it? Could we create a take action for it? I could find some more info on this issue. Since it says on the tag inside the sweater, I could go to my local mall and look at tags on others. Then find them online. I really want to inform the public about this, so what could we do?You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Centre-back Tootle returns from a one-game suspension to bolster Alex's defensive options with Ollie Turton likely to make way to accommodate the 22-year-old.
Striker Dalla Valle missed the 3-1 victory at Preston with a foot injury after recently extending his loan stay with the Railwaymen.
Manager Steve Davis confirmed the Fulham youngster had a small puncture wound from a stud in his foot with Alex opting to err on the side of caution.
However, after returning to training, Dalla Valle is expected to take his place in the squad.
Davis does still have concerns over both Ajay Leitch-Smith and Kelvin Mellor, though, with neither player likely to take part.
Striker Leitch-Smith is struggling with an ankle injury while the versatile Mellor is troubled by a knee problem.

Crews say ice is the biggest problem in the Big Sandy area. They spent all day clearing and salting roads and crews at the Martin County garage say the ice was so bad, they are sharpening the blades and filling up the trucks to go back out, because they say this is still dangerous.
People in Martin County say in just one day, the winter storm brought snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain.
"A little bit of everything in one package," Jay Hall, Snow Plow Operator.
People say it was tough walking, and even worse driving.
"It was pretty bad. The main roads were iced over and trees were laying in the roads. It was in pretty bad shape. Cars and stuff in ditches," John Rainwater said.
Martin County Road Superintendents estimate two inches of ice are on the ground in some spots.
It is causing problems for snow plow operators.
"The ice is tough. It's really hard to steer on to keep it straight," Hall said.
Workers say the ice is causing tree branches to fall and block roads in Martin, Floyd, and Johnson Counties.
Officials say the ice is too heavy on power lines and causing outages.
Officials say the ground temperature here is in the 20s, so they are worried about what will happen overnight, but say so far, no serious accidents are reported.
Crews say they will be out all night and all morning and ask drivers to be patient, but recommend just staying in tonight.

Skip to comments.AP Turns Heads for Devoting 11 Reporters to Palin Book 'Fact Check'
Posted on 11/17/2009 6:07:48 PM PST by Nachum
Sarah Palin is no normal politician, and at the Associated Press, apparently "Going Rogue" is no normal book.
When the former Republican vice presidential candidate and former Alaska governor wrote her autobiography, the AP found a copy before its release date and assigned 11 people to fact check all 432 pages.
The AP claims Palin misstated her record with regard to travel expenses and taxpayer-funded bailouts, using statements widely reported elsewhere. But it also speculated into Palin's motives for writing "Going Rogue: An American Life," stating as fact that the book "has all the characteristics of a pre-campaign manifesto."
Palin quickly hit back on a Facebook post titled "Really? Still Making Things Up?"
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
More the better. In 3 years it will become obvious even to the most brainwashed idiot socialism never works. Palin will win in a landslide even bigger than Reagan.
The media is just such a joke, no comment is needed. Just look at the ratings. America is not stupid.
Where the hell were these boneheads on Obama's bibles? Criminy the bias is sickening these days.
Palin critics suffer from a common weakness, and its really kind of silly: theyre unable, from the liberals to the Krauthammer-types, to target her policies. All they can come up with is small-caliber sarcasm, smear tactics disguised as sincere analysis, or the absurd shes not ready claim.
Now, I can understand trolls on websites like this one avoiding substantive attacks on Palin. Limited to the behavioral patterns of their species, they must pretend to agree with conservative principles.
But in the general media, there seems to be no substantive rebuttal of her political ideas. This is a political figure many in the media have labeled the most polarizing figure of our time. Yet somehow they cant figure out a way to analyze, or perhaps to understand, her policies.
Are Palin critics really that empty-headed?
Wow, 11 people assigned to a book written by a supposed (by the left) political has been who killed her political career by resigning. LOL!
She sure does have them scared. Obama is falling and Palin is rising, and both are happening fast and furious!
At least five of the AP's fact checkers came back with nothing. This type of failure could end their careers.
This is probably not the best time to type: Hellro?
The AP really stepped in to it this time! The AP just raised the bar on what we all should expect out of them going forward when they cover any important issues. If they don't we have this to hit them with. Where are the 11 reporters on this? Where are the 11 reporters on that? Fun, fun, fun!
A personal note to the so-called "fact checkers". Please resign immediately so as to retain some semblance of personal integrity, you ghouls.
AP isn't devoting that many resources NOW to Obama as he takes this country down a socialist toilet!!!!!!!
Fact checking the fact checkers:
Isn't it refreshing to know, that the Associated Press is capable of thoroughly researching public figures? Imagine the possibilities.
The AP is garbage. They badly deserve serious competition. However, with newspapers going downhill, they're losing their market.
The ASS PRESS...they're firing "dozens" of people I heard. :)
Sarah Palin is a witch!!!
She is a witch, she wrote a book and probably put curses in it because she was controlled by the devil!!!! I hear she looked at Levi wrong and he developed a sickness 3 days later!!! Did you hear she eats moose burgers and snakes??? She speaks in tongues too and no one can understand her speech as she uses "You Betcha" a lot more than a normal person would. She even had a cursed baby she was probably messing with witchcraft when she was carrying it.
We are having the village elder take 11 citizens off of harvest duty to scrutinize her book. We hope to have a public trial soon. Anyone with anecdotal evidence that she is witch is encouraged to come to the community lodge during this trial to testify their wild rumors and suppositions.
I thought it was 2009 and not 1609 and we no longer did witch trials.....????

Adamek vs Walker Finalized For Sept. 8 at Prudential
TOTOWA, NJ - Tomasz Adamek returns to Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on the afternoon of Saturday, September 8th when he takes on Travis Walker of Houston, the #12 contender, for the IBF's North American Heavyweight Title.
Standing nearly 6'5", Walker (39-7-1, 31 KO's) is coming off a big TKO win over Kali Meehan in Australia. A true road warrior known for his size and punching power, Walker has gone the distance with #3 contender Kubrat Pulev and Ruslan Chagaev in Germany. In addition to Meehan, Walker defeated Alonzo Butler, who was 28-1 at the time.
The bout will be promoted by Main Events and Ziggy Promotions and televised in Poland via PPV. Arrangements to televise the fight in the US have not yet been made. Doors open at 1:30 PM. First bout will be at 2 pm.
"Tomasz has expressed his desire to face tall opponents in order to better prepare for inevitable future fights with the many super-sized heavyweights who are in the division," said promoter Kathy Duva of Main Events. "Travis Walker is a top 12 contender coming off a big win who is eager to face Adamek's challenge. We expect another great event at Pru Center. The only difference will be that this show will take place in the afternoon to accommodate Polish television."
Walker expressed his confidence in winning this fight, "Adamek thinks that I will be an easy win for him, but he will be greatly surprised at the combination of finesse, strength and power that I will utilize in this fight. I'm going to stop him, period."
Walker's promoter, Adrian L. Patrick, CEO of KO KINGS PROMOTIONS, added, "I predict that Travis will stop Adamek. At some point in the 12 rounds, Adamek will slip and Travis will destroy him."
In his most recent bout, Adamek (46-2, 28 KO's) captured the IBF North American heavyweight championship title when he defeated Eddie Chambers of Philadelphia, who suffered a bicep tear early in the fight.
Adamek said, "I like Travis as an opponent because he is a tough fighter and all his fights are interesting. Every fight he fights is for the fans, like me." He added, "I have fought at Prudential Center eight times and I am excited to come back to give my fans a good fight and another exciting win."
The undercard bouts will be announced in the coming weeks. It is expected that Philadelphia's fast rising star, Heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings (IBF #8) will appear.
Tickets, priced beginning at $54, will go on sale through Ticketmaster and at Prudential Center Box Office next week.

Liquor control board revokes license of Doug's Bar in BenningtonMarch 30,2013Vt. liquor board
revokes bar license
BENNINGTON — A downtown bar, Doug's on Main Street, was shut down abruptly on Friday after their liquor license was revoked by the Vermont Liquor Control Board following a hearing on Wednesday, according to Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette.
Sgt. Thomas Curran, who serves with the Vermont Department of Liquor Control, served the paperwork at DOM, Inc., which operates as Doug's Bar. The papers were given to Doug Goble, who owns the business along with his mother, Mary Goble.
The order gives Goble 15 days to remove the alcohol from the premises.
Doucette said Doug's can no longer serve, sell or give alcohol away. If alcohol is served there, it would be a criminal offense that could be punishable by a $1,000 fine or a six-month jail sentence.
The bar was shut down after an undercover operation uncovered violations in January. Another undercover operation resulted in a 10-day liquor license suspension in September.
Doug's has been a controversial business in Bennington. The Select Board has had several discussions about the business based on reports from Doucette that several criminal incidents either happened at Doug's or involved people who had been drinking there.
Doucette said Doug's had been the site of more than 100 incidents since he took over as chief in 2010. Doucette said Goble was very cooperative when the order was served on Friday.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

The Premier League has seen an influx of Brazilian stars coming to ply their trade in what is most commonly known as 'the greatest league in the world.'
The likes of Oscar, David Luiz, Paulinho, Coutinho and Fernandinho have made a positive impact upon our shores in recent seasons, but who should we expect to see next?
With the transfer window now well into its stride and loads of players being linked with clubs left, right and centre, there's bound to be at least one Brazilian coming to join the other 13 samba stars currently in the top-flight.
So with that in mind, here's a look at FIVE Brazilians who could be gracing the Premier League next season…

I have filed complaints today with the FTC, DCA, and am writing to several local newspapers. I not only want my $695 back, but I want to prevent other families for experiencing such an injustice. My faith in the model/talent industry is destroyed. It hurts to know that there are so many families out there like mine that are sitting and waiting to be called and have no clue that they are victims themselves.
The last complaint on this website is dated 9/26/06 which is a year ago and then now me. I am really hoping I get my money back and these people that are responsible get jail time. They should be ashamed of taking money from hard-working people and kids nonetheless....not JustMyKids!!!!!

Dance Clubs Heeding Call to Tame Wild Life
By ANDREW JACOBS
Published: August 31, 1999
It was 3 A.M. on a Saturday night and Samantha Gregorio was all dressed up with no place to go.
Wearing glitter eyeshadow and absurdly tall platform shoes, she huddled in a doorway outside the Sound Factory on West 46th Street, a relentless downpour making a mockery of her painstakingly crafted face.
Most of her friends, along with 1,000 or so other young people, were inside the cavernous club on Manhattan's far West Side, but the 17-year-old high school senior from Whitestone, Queens, had failed the identification check at the door. ''I tried to use my older sister's license and I got snagged,'' she said, her voice heavy with disappointment.
Crammed beside her in the doorway were a dozen other sad and soggy clubbers, a gallery of Sound Factory rejects who had broken one or another of the stringent rules that have come to govern New York City night life in the late 1990's.
There was a young man tossed out for fighting, a purple ring quickly enveloping his right eye. Nearby, a girl with Pippi Longstocking braids was so intoxicated she had retched on her shoes. And next to her were a pair of Brooklyn men who said they had been ejected for selling Ecstasy, a psychedelic designer drug that many consider an essential part of the clubbing experience.
''New York isn't the fun town it used to be,'' Ms. Gregorio said, sounding more like 27 than 17. ''It feels more like Cleveland than Sin City.''
Long a mecca for anything-goes night life, New York and its big-box dance clubs have become heavily regulated places where drugs, underage drinking and unseemly behavior are zealously discouraged. Chastened by increased police scrutiny, powerful neighborhood opposition and the Government's highly public war against the night-life magnate Peter Gatien, New York's clubs have become increasingly intolerant of activity that might draw unwanted attention from the authorities or the neighbors.
Since 1998, when prosecutors tried unsuccessfully to convict Mr. Gatien of turning two of his clubs, the Limelight and the Tunnel, into drug bazaars, the city's largest dance establishments have adopted security measures to rival those of El Al, the hypervigilant Israeli airline.
Not that New York's night life scene has become puritanical. Many of the 16-to-25-year-olds who make a habit of club-hopping said they can always find a way to sneak their drugs in, and on recent weekends, many clubgoers admitted to being high on Ecstasy. When all else fails, they said, they simply swallow their pills before entering.
But gone is the era when clubs like Studio 54 and Regine's practically encouraged their patrons to snort cocaine at the bar. These days, metal detectors and full body searches have become de rigeur. Most clubs employ battalions of security guards, some of whom work undercover and solicit the crowd for illegal drugs.
Many clubs maintain a photo gallery of ejected patrons behind the velvet rope. And in an attempt to rein in drug use, almost every establishment has bathroom attendants who peer under stalls and stop more than one person from entering at a time.
On a recent evening at the Limelight in Chelsea, Jacques Stephens, 25, said he was told he couldn't roll his own cigarettes because it might send the wrong signal to would-be marijuana smokers. ''Things have gotten so tight that if someone causes the least bit of trouble, they'll get whisked out onto the street so fast and quietly no one notices,'' said Mr. Stephens, a party promoter who goes by the name Ju Dred. ''Even if you're the host, they'll just toss you out and there's nothing you can do about it.''
The increased security, said club patrons, disc jockeys and promoters, has put a chill in New York's famously free-wheeling night life. Colin Strange, 31, a producer of techno music who travels extensively, said Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani has succeeded in criminalizing night life to the point that almost every large American city's offerings are considered superior to those in New York.
''When you get patted down just to enter a club or you can get thrown out for dancing in the wrong spot, it really destroys the fun of going out,'' he said. ''Dance clubs and raves are about freedom and escapism, and it's hard to feel relaxed when you get manhandled and treated rudely.''
Club owners acknowledged that security and surveillance have become more rigorous, but they said they were adapting to higher standards set by the city. ''We likely violate people's civil rights, but it's a situation that this administration has put us into,'' said Mr. Gatien, whose clubs have been subject to many police raids, closures and investigations over the last few years. ''Of course we are concerned about offending people or being too intrusive, but it's a reality we have to deal with.''
City officials couldn't be more pleased, saying the harsher climate is proof their efforts are paying off.
Deputy Mayor Rudy Washington, who oversees the administration's club campaign, said complaints of New York becoming duller than Kansas were reasons to celebrate.

Two comments;
In HCV "we want to be Fast Followers", to "participate". Given the company's often stated strategic vision to be a Leader in significant unmet markets this is a clear "long term strategic Exit sign'. Gone when the P2, POC studies are definitive one way or another.
Re Financial management. "we are really squeezing the S,G, & A line" is Ironic given the significant added costs associated with the Management Monument new HQ being readied on Boston Harbor. Shades of the Never Fully Acknowledged Kenmore Square fiasco. Ah the 'buried mistakes" of management.
The questioner was Ted Tenthoff and the responder was the CFO. The first half of the discussion focused on Incivek and HCV program. It was acknowledged that Incivek sales has been on the decline for two reasons. First, a number of patients were "built up" and awaiting treatment, which lead to a strong launch. Second, the development and promise of new all-oral treatment options are causing some to delay treatment. Despite the decline, Incivek is and will remain a significant
source of revenue through 2014. The company's long term strategy is to continue to capture as much value as it came from Incivek while pursing an all-oral treatment with VX-135. VX-135 is Vertex's oral nucleotide that is being tested in combination with other drugs from Jannsen and GlaxoSmithKline.
The CFO was evasive to the question of the future role of Incivek in the era of VX-135. While Vertex is unlikely to beat other more developed drugs to market, the company believes hepatitis C treatment is a multibillion dollar market that is not winner-take-all and will be important to the company long into the future.
The second half of the discussion focused on cystic fibrosis (CF) and the company's recently approved drug Kalydeco. Kalydeco is now treating the vast majority of G551D patients and is expected to bring in revenues of ~$50 million from the US alone and more from EU next year. The company believes that expansions to the label represent a significant growth opportunity, from around 4% of the population to approximately 15% of the 70k CF patients. Additionally, Vertex is pursuing a combination of Kalydeco with VX-809 to treat CF in patients who have two copies (homozygous) of the most common mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, F508del. This treatment could reach as much as 50-70% of patients and be a huge growth opportunity. (If you take 60% of 70k = 42k CFers who would benefit from the combo, a year sales would be 42k x $200k/year = 8.4 b/year.)
Regarding the balance sheet, the CFO said that given the increasingly mature
stages of Incivek, the company has some room in adjusting marketing costs. Funding of late stage programs such as CF is expected to increase from the last year.
so then why do these jokesters for mgt go to the meetings? better if they stayed in their office and made it look like they were working. If they don't have good news or things to say, sit the hell in the office and look at the 4 walls.

I've been using WordPress for years and I keep coming back to this plugin. There just isn't a better one for displaying related posts. YARPP is well-developed and maintained, while other related post plugins come and go.
My only gripe is that it squishes all your thumbnails into squares. I wish it gave the option of cropping them instead, or maintaining the original aspect ratio.

Last week, I added my name to a petition circulated by my fellow New Hampshire legislators in support of Market Basket's workers, customers and former Chief Executive Officer Arthur T. Demoulas. We joined dozens of elected officials in Massachusetts. This week, the attorneys general of both states added their voices in support by pointing out to the current board of directors that if they follow through on their threat to lay off all the protesting employees, they must follow state regulations in both states designed to protect workers who lose their jobs. Watching people who love their jobs and their boss fight for a business that they feel a part of is, indeed, inspirational and courageous. I am proud to have joined my fellow legislators in recognizing the courage of these employees who are risking their livelihood to protect their company's culture.
In an era when we routinely hear of CEOs who slash payrolls and steal employee pensions in order to reap huge rewards, Market Basket's record stands out. Longtime managers can earn up to six figures, experienced cashiers can make more than $40,000, and the starting pay for full-time clerks is $12 an hour — almost $5 more than minimum wage in New Hampshire. Perhaps more importantly, Market Basket contributes about 15 percent of its annual payroll to an employees retirement fund. Under Arthur T. Demoulas, employees have also enjoyed college tuition stipends, regular bonuses throughout the year, and a generous profit sharing plan.
The company, which earned $4 billion in 2012 with its 71 stores, also demonstrates that a company that pays its employee middle-class wages can compete with Walmart and win. It is a testament to the power of treating workers fairly and serves as proof that the U.S. economy can build thriving, profitable companies that expand the middle class. This company, its workers and Arthur T. Demoulas deserve our support. I hope the voices of the attorneys general and my fellow legislators and I in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts will help convince the board of directors of Market Basket that the culture Mr. Demoulas has built is worth preserving.
Sen. Martha Fuller Clark, D-N.H., has represented the 21st District since 2012.

2) ability to support hierarchical categories and make full use of wp-taxonomies. (at present, though it defines a custom hierarchical taxonomy, yet it only allows definition/maintenance of a flat structure/first layer from the admin,media-categories menu's).
3) obviously, a permanent fix for the jquery conflict, as previously cited - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-media-library-categories-breaks-wp-v304-admin-menus-and-insert-media).

Why yes, we are a bit late posting this review of the final craft in our December Kids Kraft Kit from When Is Nap Time! We were planning to do this on the Sunday after Christmas…after all of our family from out of town left and everything settled down around here. However, Little Man decided to make his appearance the day before, one month early, and so we are just getting around to it now! But it's OK, because it is still Christmas around our house! Because if you think I've gotten around to putting our Christmas decorations away yet, you're crazy! So Little Miss and I enjoyed doing this craft today, more than 2 weeks after Christmas!
Week four's craft was a popsicle stick Christmas tree. Our kit came with a brown popsicle stick and several green ones in different sizes, a glittery yellow puff, and jewel stickers!
After getting out all of the supplies and checking the easy to follow instructions here, I had her set out the green sticks in order from biggest to smallest. This is a skill we are still working on, so it was great practice for her!
Then I had her line the green sticks up on the brown popsicle stick to make a Christmas Tree! (Don't forget to leave room at the top for the star!)
Then decorate your tree by adding the glittery puff ball to the top for the star, and the jewel stickers on the "branches" for the ornaments!
And there you have it! A beautiful Christmas tree! Amber at When Is Nap Time even suggested adding a string to the back and making these in to ornaments, so we might just do that!
Overall, Little Miss and I REALLY loved this Kraft Kit and we were so honored to get the chance to give them a test run! You can purchase a kit each month for just $9.95 plus shipping. Each kit includes 4 crafts geared towards kiddos ages 2-5 years old and Amber posts the instructions for the craft of the week on her website each Friday! You can get more information about how to order a craft kit here! When things settle down around here with the new baby, we will definitely be joining in the fun!

The Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership Business Improvement District, formed in 2006, is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to enhance the area's reputation as one of New York's most vital and exciting neighborhoods.
An Update on Local Transportation Improvement Initiatives
Over the summer, New York City has been bustling with new construction to improve the public realm. See below for updates on two of the City's public improvement initiatives in the Flatiron District.
Construction for the M23 Select Bus Service began in July. Over the past few weeks, DOT's crew has been restriping the roadway, painting bus lanes, and installing new regulatory signs. DOT will also be installing new wayfinding totems with real time passenger information. Separate crews will be along the corridor installing Transit's fare machines. Implementation is estimated to begin in early fall.
For more information, click here.
DOT is upgrading the bike lane on Sixth Avenue from West 8th Street and West 33rd Street to a parking protected bike lane to improve safety for all road users. Pedestrian safety islands will shorten crossing distances, making it safer for pedestrain to cross Sixth Avenue. Mixing zones and turn lanes will improve safety at intersections with left turns while maintaining the existing number of moving lanes. Construction along Sixth Avenue began in July. A dedicated bike lane has been painted on Sixth Avenue between 21st and 22nd Streets, and will continue to extend north to 33rd Street.
For more information, click here.
Donate Goods through donateNYC
Did you know that every year New Yorkers throw out nearly six million tons of waste, including items that could be reused? Instead, you can donate goods to local nonprofit organizations. By donating and reusing goods instead of discarding them, New Yorkers can greatly reduce waste, conserve energy and resources, save money, and help provide jobs and human services for New Yorkers in need.
donateNYC is a program of the NYC Department of Sanitation that helps New Yorkers give goods, find goods, and do good, with tools that make it easy to donate or find used goods. It is an essential part of NYC's 0X30 initiative, helping New Yorkers reach the goal of sending zero waste to landfills by 2030. Residents can use donateNYC to give or find second-hand goods; businesses and nonprofits can exchange used goods; and local reuse organizations can join the donateNYC Partnership.
Local Flatiron donation locations include:
Housing Works, 157 East 23rd Street, between Third and Lexington Avenues, (347) 473-7400.

BID Program Spotlight: Clean Team Summer Update
The Flatiron BID's Clean Team works tirelessly year round to keep the Flatiron District looking its best. Whether you're strolling around the neighborhood or just hanging out on the Flatiron Public Plazas, you've no doubt noticed that even with the summer heat the team is working to make sure that you have a clean and comfortable experience.
During the summer months, pedestrian activity in the Flatiron District greatly increases as people look to enjoy the warmer weather or participate in one of the BID's fun Summer Series events on the Public Plazas. To accomodate this increase in foot traffic, Clean Team staffing is expanded with additional workers and more service hours. From May 1st until October 31st, the Clean Team, including specialized maintenance workers, has a presence in the neighborhood from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.
Additionally, there is a member of the Clean Team dedicated to making sure that the Public Plazas are meticulously maintained for the enjoyment of all. In addition to monitoring the accumulation of trash, team members are responsible for the plaza furniture - putting it out each morning, keeping tables clean and clear each day, and securing the furniture at night.
The BID's Clean Team is contracted through Streetplus (formerly Atlantic Maintenance), and overseen by the BID's Director of Operations, Scott Kimmins. Learn more about the Flatiron BID's Clean Team here.

Use 311 to Dispatch Services for Those in Need + Other Resources
During the warmer months, residents and office workers in the neighborhood are likely to notice an increasing number of individuals in need of assistance throughout the district. If you observe someone who appears to be in need of assistance, there are a number of ways to help.
First and foremost, you can call 311 to report homeless individuals in need of service - ask to speak with a Homeless Outreach Specialist and a team will be dispatched to assist. In addition to contacting 311, individuals in need of assistance can also be reported to the Flatiron BID, which through a contract with Urban Pathways deploys a team of social workers to canvass the district.

After whirlwind year, state woman passes Miss America torch
Ever since the Miss America crown was placed on Laura Kaeppeler's head last January, the Kenosha woman's life has been a whirlwind.
She was on the road 340 days meeting celebrities and politicians, raising money for charities and representing the venerable Miss America institution. »Read Full Article(19)

Can one argue that really great sex proves the existence of God? Can a play in which a woman verbally counts out her simulated, onstage orgasms still be described as wholesome and old-fashioned? Is actor Jeff Daniels' "Apartment 3A," the comedy triggering these questions, really funny?

Media Bias
The New York Times and the Hive Mind
Arthur Brisbane was the Public Editor (ombudsman) for The New York Times. In his last column he made this observation:
I also noted two years ago that I had taken up the public editor duties believing "there is no conspiracy" and that The Times's output was too vast and complex to be dictated by any Wizard of Oz-like individual or cabal. I still believe that, but also see that the hive on Eighth Avenue is powerfully shaped by a culture of like minds — a phenomenon, I believe, that is more easily recognized from without than from within.
When The Times covers a national presidential campaign, I have found that the lead editors and reporters are disciplined about enforcing fairness and balance, and usually succeed in doing so. Across the paper's many departments, though, so many share a kind of political and cultural progressivism — for lack of a better term — that this worldview virtually bleeds through the fabric of The Times.
As a result, developments like the Occupy movement and gay marriage seem almost to erupt in The Times, overloved and undermanaged, more like causes than news subjects.
In the same column Brisbane made the startling revelations that fire burns and water is wet. Not really, but that would be on the same level of stating the bloody obvious. Continue reading
"Kids" Living With Their Parents Forever Thanks to Obama
Just how far in the tank is the Mainstream Media for Obama this election year? Time gives us an example:
Just how much of a bummer is it to be well past the age of adulthood and still living under your parent's roof? As this living arrangement grows increasingly common, the perception is that it's not so bad after all. In fact, living with mom and dad can be pretty sweet. According to a new survey, young adults who live with their parents are nearly as likely to say they are satisfied with their housing situation as those who live on their own.
Last fall, a study revealed that the number of young adults living with their parents had soared. Prior to the recession, 4.7 million Americans ages 25 to 34 lived with their folks. As of last year, though, the number had increased to 5.9 million, thanks largely to years of widespread high unemployment and underemployment for young workers—who often simply did not have the money to move out of their own.

The Ballad of Jennifer Rubin
Jennifer Rubin sent a strong message today. She wants Mitt Romney to know that she's got his back every bit as much as Ann Coulter.
Rubin makes a lot of hay over the fact that Rick Santorum never visited Afghanistan, and has not said that he would go to Afghanistan were he the nominee, a promise that Mitt Romney made a few days ago. Santorum made a pretty compelling case as to why:
And I'm not too sure making the trip Afghanistan is necessarily anything other than what it looks like: a show. And what I'm looking at is trying to, you know, make sure that we successfully win this nomination
Sounds right to me. There is nothing to be gained for anyone by the candidates flying to Afghanistan for some pr stunt. But that's not how Rubin sees it. Continue reading
The Courage of the New York Times
Recently the New York Times ran a Catholic bashing ad calling for Liberal Catholics to desert the Faith. The ad was sponsored by the virulently anti-Catholic atheist group Freedom From Religion. Go here to read a superb evisceration of the ad by Charles Lewis.
Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugged decided to submit an ad which made similar accusations, but against Islam instead of the Church. The New York Times rejected the ad.
Bob Christie, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications for the New York Times, just called me to advise me that they would be accepting my ad, but considering the situation on the ground in Afghanistan, now would not be a good time, as they did not want to enflame an already hot situation. They will be reconsidering it for publication in "a few months." So I said to Mr. Christie, "Isn't this the very point of the ad? If you feared the Catholics were going to attack the New York Times building, would you have run that ad?" Mr. Christie said, "I'm not here to discuss the anti-Catholic ad." I said, "But I am, it's the exact same ad." He said, "No, it's not." I said, "I can't believe you're bowing to this Islamic barbarity and thuggery. I can't believe this is the narrative. You're not accepting my ad. You're rejecting my ad. You can't even say it."
We used the same language as the anti-Catholic ad. The only difference is, ours was true and what we describe is true. The anti-Catholic ad was written by fallacious feminazis. Continue reading
Newt Refuses to Play By Mainstream Media Rules on HHS Mandate
Hattip to commenter Chris for pointing this out to me. Newt Gingrich is a flawed candidate, but when it comes to standing up to the Mainstream Media, and refusing to allow them to set the terms of the debate over issues, he is in a class by himself. In the video above, he takes David Gregory apart on Meet the Press today, refusing to allow Gregory to frame the debate, dishonestly, as access to contraception rather than as an assault on religious liberty. Newt recognizes that the Mainstream Media is almost entirely an unpaid arm of the Democrat party. He knows that they are adversaries and he treats them accordingly. All Republicans and conservatives: look and learn! Continue reading
Ross Douthat's Readers Prove his Point
I can easily imagine from their comments how much it galls the typical readers of the New York Times to read opinion pieces by Ross Douthat. Today he explains to his reader the extreme media bias on the issue of abortion.
Conservative complaints about media bias are sometimes overdrawn. But on the abortion issue, the press's prejudices are often absolute, its biases blatant and its blinders impenetrable. In many newsrooms and television studios across the country, Planned Parenthood is regarded as the equivalent of, well, the Komen foundation: an apolitical, high-minded and humanitarian institution whose work no rational person — and certainly no self-respecting woman — could possibly question or oppose.
Go here to read the rest. To pro-lifers this is very old news. It is hysterically funny however to read the comments to his piece: Continue reading
Bias? What Bias?
The bias of most of the main stream media is well known, but a current example by CBS is beyond parody:
Over the years, pro-life activists have come to accept that the media isn't interested in their annual March for Life in Washington D.C. protesting abortion, even though it routinely attracts hundreds of thousands of people. But this year's photo slideshow hosted on a local Washington CBS website has activists scratching their heads in disbelief.
Currently the March for Life slideshow of seven photos features protesters who actually support abortion; none of the photos actually feature pro-life marchers. Continue reading
Gingrich, Media Bias and the Mainstream Media as Morality Police
Gingrich turned the tables effectively on John King of CNN last night at the final debate prior to the South Carolina primary on Saturday. Here is the transcript:
JOHN KING: And just as speaker Gingrich surged into contention here in South Carolina, a direct fresh character attack on the Speaker.
And Mr Speaker, I want to start with that this evening.
As you know, your ex-wife gave an interview to ABC News and another interview with The Washington Post. And this story has now gone viral on the internet.
In it, she says that you came to her in 1999, at a time when you were having an affair. She says you asked her, sir, to enter into an open marriage.
Would you like to take some time to respond to that?
GINGRICH: No, but I will.
GINGRICH: I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office. And I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that.
KING: Is that all you want to say, sir?
GINGRICH: Let me finish.
KING: Please.
GINGRICH: Every person in here knows personal pain. Every person in here has had someone close to them go through painful things. To take an ex-wife and make it two days before the primary a significant question for a presidential campaign is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine.
My – my two daughters – my two daughters wrote the head of ABC and made the point that it was wrong, that they should pull it, and I am frankly astounded that CNN would take trash like that and use it to open a presidential debate.
KING: As you noted, Mr Speaker, this story did not come from our network. As you also know, it is a subject of conversation on the campaign. I'm not – I get your point. I take your point.
GINGRICH: John, John, it was repeated by your network. You chose to start the debate with it. Don't try to blame somebody else. You and your staff chose to start this debate with it.
Let me be quite clear. Let me be quite clear. The story is false. Every personal friend I have who knew us in that period said the story was false. We offered several of them to ABC to prove it was false. They weren't interested because they would like to attack any Republican. They're attacking the governor. They're attacking me. I'm sure they'll presently get around to Senator Santorum and Congressman Paul.
I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans.
(APPLAUSE) Continue reading
Archbishop Chaput and the Media
One of the most irritating aspects of life for faithful American Catholics over the past several decades has been how quiet most of our bishops have been in the face of outrageous attacks on the Church. Too many of our bishops have acted as if they had their spines surgically removed upon consecration. Fortunately there have always been a handful who have been willing to speak out and suffer the media attacks that then ensue, along with the ambushes of heterodox Catholics frequently eager to lend a hand to anti-Catholics in their ceaseless war against the Church. One of the more outspoken bishops is Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, who has never been afraid to proclaim the truth, and to do so eloquently. He is at it again over at First Things.
Newsweek and the Demonization of Michele Bachmann
Newsweek, the newsmagazine worth every cent of the dollar it was recently sold for, is running a hit piece against Congresswoman Michele Bachmann this week. They aren't especially subtle about what they are doing as the cover indicates:
Here is a photograph of Michele Bachmann by a photographer not employed by Newsweek: Continue reading
Some Gaffes Are More Equal Than Others
I don't know Klavan on the Culture. I had always assumed that the media downplays gaffes by Obama because he is obviously a genius and that therefore when he makes a gaffe it is simply a mistake, and no big deal. Republicans on the other hand are self-evidently idiots, or they would be Democrats, and therefore when they make a gaffe it is revealing of their essential idiocy, and thus newsworthy because it alerts the public to the fact that Republicans are idiots. No media bias here! Continue reading
The Vast JournoList Conspiracy
The vast JournoList conspiracy can be called over-heated rhetoric.
But then again, facts get in the way.
The liberal staff writer for the Washington Post, Howard Kurtz, agrees with me on the left-leaning JournoList:
To conservatives, it is a pulling back of the curtain to expose the media's mendacity.
To liberals, it is a selective sliming based on e-mails that were supposed to remain private.
But there is no getting around the fact that some of these messages, culled from the members-only discussion group Journolist, are embarrassing. They show liberal commentators appearing to cooperate in an effort to hammer out the shrewdest talking points against the Republicans — including, in one case, a suggestion for accusing random conservatives of being racist.
Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller site, which has been dribbling out the e-mails, drew fresh reaction Thursday with a piece about Journolist members savaging Sarah Palin. The former Alaska governor responded with a slam at the media's "sick puppies," saying she was confronted during the 2008 campaign by "hordes of Obama's opposition researchers-slash-'reporters.' " But the people making the most stridently partisan comments in the invitation-only group weren't reporters at all — they were out-of-the-closet liberals acting like, well, liberals.
Three Cheers for a Partisan Media
Americans often complain about how dirty and mudslinging politics have become. This complaint demonstrates the lack of knowledge of their own history that many Americans today display. As the imaginary attack ad by Adams at the beginning of this post illustrates, politics tended to be much less restrained in political attacks in the early days of our Republic. During the campaign of 1800, Jefferson and Adams, two of the primary Founding Fathers, were called every name imaginable. Jefferson was called, among many other things, an atheist, a weakling, a coward, a libertine, mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, and the son of a half-breed Indian squaw sired by a Virginia mulatto. A few of the insults hurled at Adams included fool, hypocrite, criminal, tyrant, and that he was possessed of a hermaphroditical character which had neither the force or firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman. The passions that were roused in that campaign are shown by gentle Martha Washington, the widow of George, telling a clergyman that Jefferson was one of the most detestable of mankind. The press were at the forefront of this battle, with the papers of the day wearing their political affiliations emblazoned in their headlines.
And so it remained in America until after World War ii. Up until that time, most papers adhered to a set of political beliefs determined by the owners of the papers, and they were very upfront about it. It was only in the postwar era, with the attempt to instill professionalism into the always somewhat disreputable ink-stained wretches, that the concept of objective journalism came to be prized as a goal and embraced by most organs of the media. Papers that wore their ideological hearts on their sleeves, the prime example being the New Hampshire Union Leader, were viewed as survivors of an earlier stage of journalism that the press had outgrown.
I am Shocked, Shocked!
Hattip to Ed Morrissy at Hot Air. The Washington Post hired David Weigel, who has previously come to the attention of this blog here, to report to their readership on that strange group called American conservatives. This small and obscure group, only 42% of the adult population of the US according to the latest Gallup poll released today and twice the number of self-identified liberals, was the focus of the reporting of David Weigel. To my non-surprise, Weigel is now revealed in his own words to be a bitter Democrat partisan and uber-liberal:
Weigel was hired this spring by the Post to cover the conservative movement. Almost from the beginning there have been complaints that his coverage betrays a personal animus toward conservatives. Emails obtained by the Daily Caller suggest those complaints have merit.
Hearst Stands Behind Anti-Semite Helen Thomas
Breaking News: The USA Today is reporting that Helen Thomas has retired following her anti-Semitic comments from last week (Biretta tip to TAC reader Phillip)
The Hearst Corporation, which owns Hearst Newspapers, continues to stand behind their 'news reporter' the anti-Semite Helen Thomas despite video evidence of her anti-Semitic remarks.
In her anti-Semitic remarks she called on Jews in the Middle-East to 'get the hell out of Palestine' and go back home to 'Germany' and 'Poland'. Apparently forgetting that they have been inhabiting the Holy Land for several thousands of years.
The Hearst Corporation, Helen Thomas' employer, continues to stand behind her, but are saying her comments do not represent the values of the Hearst Corporation.
If You Repeat a Lie a Thousand Times…
Archbishop John Nienstedt of St. Paul-Minneapolis has defended Pope Benedict in his column in the archdiocesan weekly newspaper.
In reporting on the column, the Associated Press closed their story with this:
Critics of the church's handling of abuse cases are citing Benedict's tenure as head of the Vatican office charged with disciplining clergy. The office halted a mid-1990s investigation into a Wisconsin priest accused of molesting some 200 deaf boys.
Dear Associated Press: the CDF did not stop the investigation. If you'd actually do some journalism you'd know that.
This is Unconscionable.
From the Anchoress:
MSNBC ran a headline on their website:
"Pope Describes Touching Boys: I Went Too Far."
NBC has apologized (the linked story had absolutely nothing to do with the headline, or with the pope, for that matter).
Really? Will heads roll, too? They should, but I doubt they will.
