The Mumbai police on Tuesday arrested three suspects under the Prevention of Terrorism Act in connection with the August 25 bomb blast at Zaveri Bazaar.Complete coverage of the Mumbai blastsThey were producedĀbefore a special court, which remanded them to police custody till November 11.
Sayed Mohammed Hanif, his wife Fahimida and associate Arshat Shafi Ahmed Ansari are already in judicial custody in connection with July 28 Ghatkopar bomb blast and August 25 Gateway of India explosion.
In the Zaveri Bazaar bomb blast case,Āthe three accused are the first to be arrested.
Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam sought the arrest of the accused in Zaveri Bazaar case saying witnesses in a police parade identified them last week. He said Hanif and his wife were conspirators, while Arshat had executed the blast.
The designated judge A P Bhangale allowed the police to arrest the accused in Zaveri Bazaar case and remanded them to police custody for a fortnight. In Ghatkopar bomb blast of July 28 and Gateway of India explosion, they were remanded to judicial custody till November 11.
The court disposed of prosecution's application on the medical examination of accused Hanif and Arshat who had earlier complained of harassment and torture by police. Nikam alleged that their grievance was an afterthought because they had not informed their lawyer when he went to meet them in jail.
In another development, the court allowed co-accused Fahimida's plea to meet her daughter Farhan, who has also been arrested in Ghatkopar blast and sent to juvenile remand home.

CHONGQING, China � Dave Schoch has one of the toughest jobs at Ford Motor Co.: catching the competition in the world's biggest car market.
When Schoch (pronounced Shock) arrived in China 13 years ago, the government was building eight-lane freeways in major cities, but bicyclists and pedestrians still filled the streets. The Chinese were buying less than 2 million cars and trucks each year, a fraction of the 14.4 million sold in 2000 in the U.S.
When he returned to China last year, Schoch was stunned. The freeways were choked with cars, from inexpensive, Chinese-made Wuling minivans to Mercedes-Benz sedans. The red-hot Chinese economy had more than doubled annual wages, giving millions of people the money to buy a first vehicle or move up to a luxury brand.
''Things turned upside down,'' says Schoch, who was named head of Ford's Asia Pacific operations last fall. ''You have to be here and experience it to believe what has happened in the last decade.''
Last year, Chinese consumers bought 19 million cars and trucks � 5 million more than consumers in the U.S. Ford's share of those sales was just 3 percent. Years of corporate chaos and financial trouble slowed Ford's entry into China as its rivals gained a foothold. Together, General Motors and Volkswagen control a third of China's market.
But the race is far from over. China is still a country where 58 out of every 1,000 people own cars. In the U.S., that number is closer to 800.
Every year, tens of millions of Chinese are reaching the income threshold they need to buy a car, Schoch says. Many analysts predict annual sales in China of 30 million by 2020, almost double the U.S. forecast of 17 million. It's up to Schoch to ensure Ford gets a big chunk of that phenomenal growth.
''I go home each night thinking, 'Have I really tried to move the needle? Are we moving the organization fast enough to take advantage of this?' Because I really think we have a golden opportunity here,'' he says.
Ford wants to double its Chinese market share to 6 percent by 2015. To make that happen, the company is launching six new vehicles in China this year, including two small SUVs called the Kuga and the EcoSport, the Mondeo midsize sedan and the Explorer SUV, which is exported from Chicago. The Lincoln luxury brand will arrive next year.
To meet its goals, the company has undertaken its most ambitious growth since Ford went on a post-war building spree in Michigan 60 years ago.
Ford is spending $5 billion to build five plants � including three assembly plants, an engine plant and a transmission plant � that will more than double its Chinese production capacity to 1.7 million vehicles by 2015.
''They used to be laggard, cautious. But now they're all in,'' says Michael Dunne, president of the automotive consulting group Dunne and Co. in Hong Kong. ''They are saying, 'We have confidence in the China market. We have confidence in our products. We can win here.'?''
Ford sold a company record 407,721 vehicles in China in the first six months of this year. But that was only a quarter of the vehicles GM sold. Volkswagen has six brands aimed at every type of buyer in the vast Chinese market, from the cheap Skoda to the ultra-luxury Bentley. Until Lincoln arrives, Ford has one.
There are other obstacles. Ford cars are expensive. In a market in which 70 percent of vehicles sold cost less than $14,500, Ford's cheapest car is the Fiesta, which starts at $13,300. The Explorer starts around $80,000, thanks to a 25 percent import duty and other taxes.
Ford's development costs are also steep compared with competitors' because it still does much of the research and design for Chinese vehicles at its headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., where costs are relatively high. Ford hopes to double its technical workforce in Nanjing to 1,500 people by 2015; GM already employs more than 2,000 people at its technical center in Shanghai.
Another complication is the unpredictable Chinese government, which could scramble expansion plans at any time. The government requires foreign automakers to partner with local companies and decides where they can build their plants.
But Ford can't keep relying on Europe and North America, where it sells 73 percent of its vehicles. The company lost $1.75 billion in Europe last year as sales plummeted in a recessionary economy; it expects to lose $2 billion there this year. Profits in Asia would have cushioned those losses, but Ford's Asian operations lost $77 million because of the big investments in new plants and vehicles.
Ford re-entered China in 1997, the same time as GM. But Ford focused on the commercial van market, which was limited.

Neither was the representation of plays on Sundays at this time regarded as an indecorum.
In her judgment a laugh was indecorum, and smelling a rose was indulgence of the flesh.
There is no indecorum in the proposal's coming from the parent of either side.
In the street there is no gleam of sheep's-eying or any manner of indecorum.
Nor am I sensible of an indecorum if I give out that the Sheikh lives on oranges, and preserves the peels for kindling the fire.
Because, says Michelet, English girls and German think so much of an indecorum.
In vain his mother, losing patience at such a terrible piece of indecorum, rushed at him and cuffed him soundly.
This will be done decently and in good order—our training will admit of no indecorum.
Ignoring rarity, fineness, I sank to the indecorum of a frankly human grin.
The indecorum of compliance stared me in the face at the time.

Mortgage rates have hit a historic low: As if home buyers on the fence about purchasing a new home, a first home or even a second or investment property need another nudge comes news that the 15 year fixed rate mortgage has hit another historic low, for those who qualify: 2.61 percent, which is down from 2.64 percent earlier in the week.
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.4% in the week ended April 25, according to Freddie Mac's weekly survey, out Thursday, which was reported by Beth Bell of USA Today:.
That's down from 3.41% the prior week and headed toward the record low 3.31% of late November. The same week last year, 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaged 3.88%.
"The housing market is getting a boost with mortgage rates hovering at or near record lows," said Frank Nothaft, a vice president and chief economist at Freddie Mac.
Nothaft cited:
• Existing home sales averaged an annualized pace of 4.9 million the first three months of the year, the most since the fourth quarter of 2009.
• New home sales topped 424,000 during the first quarter, strongest showing since the third quarter of 2008.
• February marked the thirteenth consecutive month the Federal Housing Finance Agency has recorded a rise in its 12-month U.S. house price index, which rose 7.1% in the twelve months through February, the most since May 2006.
However, despite the gains, Nothaft said, FIFA's home price index is still 13.6% below its peak in April 2007.
In its weekly survey of mortgage lenders nationwide, Freddie Mac said a key adjustable rate mortgage also hit a record low. The average rate on 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages fell to an all-time low of 2.58% from 2.6% a week earlier. That type of mortgage has been available nationwide since 2005.
And the 1-year Treasury-indexed ARM ticked down to 2.62% in the latest week from 2.63% a week earlier, Freddie Mac said.

Illustrator: The Tilde Trick
BittBox Reader Jeff F tipped me off about this neat little Illy trick. It just so happens that if you hold down the "tilde" key on your keyboard, you can get a neat effect using any of Illustrator's drawing tools. Holding down the tilde key, (the little squiggly line above the tab key, left of the number 1 on your keyboard.) while using a drawing tool will cause Illustrator to repeat the shape rapidly as you move your mouse. Examples after the jump. Thanks Jeff!
For starters, here is a pic of the tilde key:
Here are some quick examples with some different drawing tools:
Also, remember that you can hold shift and/or option/alt at the same time you're holding the tilde key to constrain your shapes if you like.

I realize that we are not alone in wanting to live more on less, and I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here at Suddenly Frugal. I'm aware of the now-defunct Tightwad Gazette and the length's that the "Tightwad" family went to in saving money–no homemade sanitary napkins for me, thank you very much. I also know that there is already a family out there that is known as America's Cheapest Family, but, in my opinion, they are not representative of the America I know or the suburban life I live. They have 8 kids, home school them all (only 2 percent of school-aged children in America are homeschooled, according to the U.S. Department of Education), and live in the desert Southwest. We, on the other hand, have two kids who attend public school, and we live in the pricey Northeast.
Geography and progeny aside, I doubt that the tightwad or cheapest family has to live with the pull of the aforementioned "shopper-tainment" and what we like to call "The $100 Target tax" (because you can never get out of Target for under $100). So the real challenge for us–and for readers of Suddenly Frugal–is figuring out how you can go about living a "normal" life when you're on a budget. I really hope we can succeed.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/4/2013 (1551 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Hospital privileges expand
THE provincial government introduced legislation Friday that would expand the role of nurse practitioners and midwives by allowing them to admit patients to hospitals.
Health Minister Theresa Oswald said the intention is to take advantage of these professionals' "high level of training and skills" to streamline hospital admissions and make the health system more efficient.
Nurse practitioners are registered nurses with a master's-level education and clinical experience that allow them to diagnose illnesses, treat conditions, prescribe medications and order diagnostic tests. There are more than 100 in Manitoba hospitals, clinics and personal-care homes. Midwives already can order tests, prescribe some medications, diagnose and treat minor problems and be the primary attendant at births. Currently, only doctors and, in some cases, dentists can admit patients to hospitals in Manitoba.
MLLC cash to help addicts
THE Selinger government says it will introduce legislation to ensure two per cent of the new Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corp.'s annual profits is invested in responsible gaming and consumption programs.
The commitment would increase existing funding for such programs by about $20 million during the next four years, Healthy Living Minister Jim Rondeau said.
New funding of almost $1 million will go to the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba to operate a new centre that will open in 2014. Bus-service rules updated
THE government introduced a bill Friday to modernize rules governing charter-bus services in light of cutbacks in the number of routes Greyhound runs.
Bill 27 will provide more opportunities for new charter-bus operators to launch routes, which means greater access to bus services for Manitobans, Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton said.
Ashton said a number of charter-bus operators have indicated they wish to provide service between various Manitoba towns and cities.

As part of the celebration, Def Jam will also release a limited-edition LP and CD box set featuring a collection of songs curated by Def Jam's founder Rick Rubin. It also includes a commemorative T-shirt and booklet.
Tickets for the October 16 concert go on sale on August 22. However, those who pre-order the box set will receive an access code to a special pre-sale on August 20.
"It's very exciting to be able to be part of such a special announcement that solidifies and continues forward the enduring mark the brand has made on pop culture," Steve Bartels, CEO of Def Jam Recordings, has said in a statement.

Blake Throwback To 2002!!
In 2002, Blake Shelton racked up his second number-one hit with "The Baby." Some of the old footage in the clip is actually from his family. And check out how REEEEEEAALLLY blue his eyes are. Though Blake's eyes are blue, the color was enhanced in the shooting process. In an interview about the video, Blake says, "I always make a joke that they transplanted Martina McBride's eyes and put them in my head." Now THAT'S funny!!! Check out the video below!!

8. 50 Bucks Saved in Security Software
For Windows types, Patch Tuesday, ActiveX exploits, and zero-day threats are all ugly facts of life. For Mac users, however, they're white noise. Some security companies may try to tell you differently--and proof-of-concept viruses written just to prove you can infect a Mac exist. And it's true that Apple must regularly release fixes for vulnerabilities that hackers could use to cause trouble.
But the fact remains, if you're on a Mac, you're safe from real-world viruses, worms, Trojans, and most other baddies. The notable exception, of course, is if you're running Windows via Boot Camp or Parallels.
Chalk it up to superior security practices or limited market share--or most likely a little of both--but even with Mac security a much-discussed topic on the Net, most malware writers seem to be focusing their attention elsewhere, at least for now.
9. Ads You Won't Change Channels On
Starting with the Orwellian dystopia of IBM PC users depicted in the very first Mac ad, some Apple advertising has been more than a tad sanctimonious. But the current "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" spots are a breath of fresh air time. Both campaigns spawned innumerable online parodies, because they're simple, clever, and funny, even if we do insist that we're more like the hip Mac character played by Justin Long (aka Warren P. Cheswick from "Ed") than to John Hodgman, the actor and writer cast as PC.
We're not so sure about some of the claims in the ads--hey, Apple, a Windows PC can do a lot more than crunch numbers--but we do know that the commercials are more entertaining than some of the programs they interrupt. What's your favorite? Click the Comment link below and let us know.
10. Cottage Industry of Cool
One of us, and we're not saying who, had a clear, curvy stand and a power-pink cover for a 12-inch PowerBook, a green sequined case and a retro-styled speaker set for an iPod, a lighted USB hub, and a USB multimedia controller. They're all from a cottage industry in Apple accessories, including companies like Griffin Technology and FastMac (with its new slot-loading Blu-ray Disc drive for iMacs)--an industry that sprang up around Macs and iPods, and makes both extremely attractive and well-designed peripherals. They're a part of what make the Mac experience.
Got a computer or MP3 player manufactured by just about anyone else? Good luck finding more than a teeny-tiny fraction of the accessories you'll find for even the most mundane Apple products.

Save the last dance for me
Just desserts: Over dinner a few years ago, Australians Irene Olevsky and Dannielle Liesch decided to come out of retirement - a plan that culminated in silverware yesterday.
Photo: Tim Clayton
IRENA Olevsky retired yesterday, but do not read too much into that. She has done it before.
Australia's most experienced synchronised swimmer left the pool with a bronze medal for her solo routine and a silver medal, too, after pairing up for the duet with her long-time partner Dannielle Liesch.
It goes almost without saying that the Canadians won gold, twice. They always do. But that did not diminish the achievement of the two Melbourne women who a couple of years ago hatched a plan over dinner to return to the sport they had left to concentrate on their professional lives.
Olevsky, who addedthe medals to the silver she won in Kuala Lumpur eight years ago, is an accountant. Liesch runs the swim school at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, and is a perfectionist. Yesterday they were very much in synch, and performed a bold routine set to dramatic music that earned silver just ahead of New Zealand sisters Lisa and Nina Daniels.
The sell-out crowd warmly appreciated every upside-down pirouette, even if the Russian influence of coach Anna Nepotachova was not immediately obvious to those not drilled in the nuances of synchronised swimming.
"One of the reasons was the Commonwealth Games to be held in our hometown and Anna was the other reason. Anna just started with us two years ago and it was actually at dinner where I invited all my friends that I announced that maybe I should try it again," Olevsky said.
"Danielle called me later and asked if I was really serious. I said, 'Yeah', so we got back in the water. Anna has brought the best out of us. Her choreography is nothing like we've done before."
Since deciding to get back in the water Olevsky and Liesch have trained for between four and six hours a day, then gone to work. It is little wonder that 32-year-old Olevsky is ready for a less crowded life.
"Today actually marks my 24 years in the sport so I think this would be a good time to call it quits. I think this is it for me, but you never know, I've retired twice before and here I am. You don't know what the future holds, but that's it for now," she said.
When the dust settles, 27-year-old Liesch will try to talk her out of it, but intends to continue anyway in concert with Ukranian-born Luda Plotnikova, who was Australia's reserve for these Commonwealth Games.
For Liesch, the silver medal made the decision to emerge from her own retirement worth all those hours holding her breath while performing complicated moves under the water.
"When we both retired, everyone said we were swimming the best we'd ever swum, why are you retiring? We weren't swimming as well as we are now, though. Because it is a perfection sport there is always room for improvement," she said.
"It's very exciting. We definitely went in thinking we had the potential to do it. But the competition between second, third and fourth was very close. There were some nervous moments."
Before the duet, Olevsky was just pipped for silver in the solo event by 17-year-old Jenna Randall from England, whose balletic routine was set to Amazing Grace. Canada's Marie-Pier Bourdeau Gagnon, predictably, won gold.
Canada has won every synchro gold medal since the sport was added to the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh 20 years ago.
Spare a thought for the 15-year-old from India, who turned to the sport only four months ago and is her country's first and only synchronised swimmer.
Avani Kardam Dave was seventh in a field of, well, seven with her Bollywood-inspired free routine, having practised in an outdoor pool with no underwater sound system to the beat of her coach tapping a spoon against the steel pool railing.
Naturally, Dave has has her eye on the next Games in New Delhi. "I thought it went jolly good," she said.

Quick Facts: Fall 2017 classes begin August 28; Accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA); GRE General Test required.
Course Requirements: 93 creditsDegree: Doctor of PsychologyLocation: Main Oakland CampusIn addition to standard counseling courses like psychometrics and personality assessment, Carlow University offers its PsyD students unique learning opportunities: CPY-805 : Social Justice & Feminism in Counseling Psychology: Theory and Strategy for Action (3 credits)This class is a comprehensive introduction to social justice and feminism, focusing on the relationship between psychological distress and broader social realities. Students will explore the nuances of social inequality and the impact of related systemic issues. In addition, students will examine their attitudes and beliefs about those who occupy identity categories that are different than their own.CPY-814: Diversity Issues (3 credits)Explore experiences, beliefs, needs, and behaviors of diverse population groups in our society and develop counseling skills that are essential for culturally sensitive practice. Racial antagonisms, experiences, and consequences of discrimination, oppression, biases, and prejudices are discussed with particular emphasis on racial and culturally diverse groups and communities, women, sexual orientation, and the mentally- and physically-challenged.
this is just a small sample of the courses available for PsyD students. For a complete list of classes available across the University, please see the graduate course catalog; for every class in the PsyD program, click here.
Beginning in the summer of the first year of study, doctoral students are permitted to engage in community-based practica experiences. Carlow University benefits from its location in the large metropolitan area of Pittsburgh. Students have placed at nationally recognized medical hospitals, university counseling centers, community mental health agencies specializing in child and adult treatment, and even rural practices that offer experiences that extend beyond the urban landscape.Specifically, our PsyD students have engaged in practica with such organizations as the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Mercy Behavioral Health, Staunton Clinic and Allegheny General Hospital.

Believe it or not, for the past few days liberals' fascination with conservative book publishing seems to have surpassed their fascination with righty talk radio (though neither will ever come close to matching the intensity of their obsession with Fox News).
Last Friday, McKay Coppins noted on BuzzFeed that while books by a few conservative electronic-media stars like Bill O'Reilly are extremely popular, "midlist" right-of-center titles have become a tough sell. On Monday, Salon's Alex Pareene took issue with much of Coppins's piece, arguing that the key problem with conservative publishing these days isn't niche marketing or excess supply, but lousy quality (emphasis added):
[T]he biggest publishing companies all fell all over each other to start their own conservative 'imprints' in the late 1990s and early 2000s to capitalize on the fact that crappy conservative books sold really, really well...[P]ublishers started separate imprints for these books in part because they were embarrassed to have their prestigious brands tainted by them, but also because conservative books generally couldn't meet most publishing companies' (already lax) standards of quality and accuracy.
The problem is not that shunting conservative books off into imprints somehow caused conservative books to become worse and fail to appeal to people outside the shrinking world of dedicated movement conservatives.The problem is that conservatives are embarrassed by which sort of conservative books conservative audiences actually want to buy and read. Conservatives don't want to read good, smart books. They mostly want to read Fox and talk radio hosts writing about presidents. What's 'killing' conservative books seems to be embarrassment.
...Right-wing intellectuals imagined breaking into mainstream publishing would lead to a thousand "The Closing of the American Minds" and "God And Man At Yales." Instead, it's Rush Revere and "Liberal Fascism." Conservative books are bad for the same reason that talk radio and the Washington Examiner aren't as high-quality as the New York Times and NPR: The [conservative] movement is rotten, and held together mainly by resentments that are dying out with the Silent Generation. Those who most loudly stoke those resentments — or those who simply appeal to that generation's sour nostalgia — sell the most copies.
Conservatives frequently complain of being frozen out of the culture industry, though, like all industries, the culture industry will produce or sell anything it expects to profit from. There is actually plenty of room for conservatives in film, music, television and publishing — the biggest publishers in the world have been selling books by conservative pundits for years — and if conservatives don't like the products they themselves create and sell to one another, they can't exactly blame the liberal media.

Veteran ESPN sportscaster Ron Franklin has been fired after he reportedly made sexist comments to sideline reporter Jeannine Edwards, calling her in a condescending tone "sweet baby" or "sweetcakes," according to different accounts, as well as an "a**hole." The termination follows a media firestorm yesterday when word of the incident, which had happened during a staff meeting on Friday, leaked. It forced Franklin, a 20-year ESPN veteran who called mostly college football and basketball games, to issue a public apology. That wasn't enough. "Based on what occurred last Friday, we have ended our relationship with him," an ESPN spokesman said in a statement.
ESPN Fires Announcer Ron Franklin Over Sexist Remarks
85 Comments
ridiculous dinosour
Yes, she is. A whining dinosaur from the past.
You're the dinosaur.
No, she's the eye candy. If she thinks she is there to legitimately discuss the sport, or to be taken seriously by any of the men watching at home, she's living in a fantasy world. Don't agree? Head down to your local sports bar, and listen to the comments anytime these Sideline Sweethearts come on screen. Oh there will be a lot of discussion going on, but none of it will be about anything she says.
What a buffoon, pissing away a dream gig.
Wow, and why does ESPN think sports fans will tolerate female announcers only?
Or sexist male announcers?
I love how when ESPN gets a bunch of guys in a room for Pardon The Interruption, and they get Sir Charles to read "I am a dumbass" off a teleprompter, it's all in good fun and nobody gets all butt-hurt. Everybody gets the joke. Sir Charles isn't pulling the race card and getting people fired because he's a black man being made fun of. But then you throw Jeannine Edwards onto the sidelines and somebody makes a teasing comment and SOUND THE ALARMS AND BURN THE BRAS!! It's FIRING TIME!
Nowhere in the comment "I am a dumbass" whatsoever do I see a reference to race. Are you just pulling crap out of your ass?
Now, the "teasing comment" ("sweet baby", "sweetcakes") isn't just some random remark. It's a specific comment on Edward's sex; it's a comment that degrades Edwards for her femaleness.
because most of it's audience is sexist. Women dont belong on the football field or calling a game. Straight up.
exactly, cant stand women who act like they know what they r talkin bout in football. especially since most of them have never played the game an most likely got the job beacause of their looks. dont take offense to "sweety" or whatever it was. thats being a bitch. lol but i admit he shouldnt of called her a name after that . thats unprofessional.
I hope you never spawn daughters.
So dog killers like Michael Vick are okay, but "sexist talk" is not. I feel sorry for dogs, then.
So were you hibernating in a cave with grizzly bears while Michael Vick SERVED HIS PRISON TIME for what he did? Get a life, troll!
Dude, really? You're an idiot. Pretty sure Ron Franklin prefers to get fired from a job, in which he should've been retired from years ago, than go to jail or being sued for sexual harassment WHICH ESPN probably saved him from.
Mike Tirico had a sexual harrassment case dismissed in the mid 90s and he was fine. It took Harold Reynolds third harrassment case to get him the boot. But let's boot the 68 year old out right away. Jeannie needs to get a sense of humor. Ron Franklin pulled a Ron Burgundy but the man is awesome.
Not the first time he has been rude or made these types of comments. Ron deserved to be fired loooong ago. How's this for a theory? Join this century and treat EVERYONE in the workplace with respect.
No one is saying that killing dogs is ok, but can we all take half a second to remember that Mr. Vick has served his time in prison for his crime, and in the absence of any further criminal activity is more than entitled to live his life and pursue whatever LEGAL dream he chooses to.
By serving his time he paid his debt to the criminal justice system. That doesn't extend to the personal opinions of those who will always regard him as a dirtbag. What he did will always follow him. As well it should.
Yes, Chandler, there will always be those whining morons whose "brains" are on an endless loop over some non-event from years –and decades– ago, not realizing that nobody cares.
Vick didn't commit any "crime." A few pooches got mishandled. He should have been given a written citation and made to clean up the mess.
And the people still whining about it need to get a life.
Next stop, Faux News…where the dregs of humanity with zero credibility usually wash up.
No, he's going to MSNBC, who NO ONE WATCHES! Olbermann has ZERO credibility and ZERO class! Get a clue, moron!
Stop screaming please. It's unclassy. Thank you.
You are so right on about this one!
If Janine Edwards wanted to play with the 'big boys,' she would come out with a statement saying something like, "it was in the heat of the moment and I really didn't take his comments seriously. I'm too busy to worry about what Franklin said."
Now, it looks like ESPN has to go overboard to look out for female reporters because they can't handle a task that was traditionally handled by men.
Let's remember, according to the reports, after Mr. Franklin called her "sweetcakes" in the meeting, Ms. Edwards immediately pushed back at his sexist comment. What got Mr. Franklin in trouble is that instead of immediately apologizing, he doubled down and fired back another derogatory word at her. Sexism nonewithstanding, it was incredibly unprovoked and unprofessional on Mr. Franklin's part.
Yes, because being verbally abused is the same as 'playing with the big boys'. Maybe if this guy wanted to play with the big boys, he should have watched his mouth.
'Playing with the big boys' means knowing when to ignore provocative comments and make Franklin look like the small person he is by not acknowlegding how small a person Franklin is.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Let's apply your logic to the civil rights movement: To "play with the big boys" aka the white majority, blacks should have shut up about being treated like second-class citizens so that they can prove just how "small" the whites are. However, shutting the hell up rather than staging peaceful protests, sit-ins, and strikes would not have changed the fabric of society, would not have addressed racism, and certainly would not have overturned segregation laws.
Your answer for sexual harassment is to keep quiet to keep the moral high ground. The sad thing is you are so backwards and you don't even know it.
Apples and Oranges. Nice try though.
"Playing with the big boys" is soon to be a thing of the past. If you haven't noticed, the "big boys" (rich white guys) are going down– they got to run things for a long ass time, and they screwed it all up. The rest of us are choosing to no longer tolerate their obnoxious, narcissistic, sexist and racist behavior.
So, "On the Pulse", you feelin' the end yet? People aren't respecting you and doing what you say anymore, huh? It's because the patriarchal white man reign is taking it's last breaths. Good riddance.
The 'rich white guys' created ESPN. 'Patriarchal white man reign' is hilarious. Have fun with your masters in Women's Studies courtesy of Cal Berkeley, circa 1973. You finally found a mainstream forum to vent in.
For what it's worth, I've been pushed down by the rich white guys, too. Maybe it's because I'm not jewish. See, I can play the blame game too!
gee, racist much?
And Cal Berkley circa 73? I wasn't even born yet, grandpa. And btw, rich white guys may have created ESPN but they wouldn't have anything to put on the air if it weren't for the brothers.
Somehow I doubt you're being kept down by rich jewish guys– you're being kept down because you're probably sexist and racist. Either that or you just got a crap personality.
Oh shut up, COPS and Maury wouldn't have anything to put on if not for the brothers either so lets climb down off the cross.
You may want to look into a dictionary (I recommend dictionary . com) to understand what the word 'racist' means. Unless, of course you were calling yourself out as racist what with the use of 'white guys' and 'brothers.' If you hate black people and white guys, that's your problem. But please don't put it on this forum.
Agreed solong. It's high time for "Patriarchal (insert your minority here) reign". Stand aside obnoxious, racist, narcissistic, and sexist white people! You hear us Mr. President!?… wait…
You can't be serious! Please go back to your cave, caveman! Go bonk some heads of the fairer sex with a big stick while you're at it!
At least he did'nt show his ass, then the shit would really be deep.
I don't get it, how is calling a broad sweet baby equal sexist. Has the world gone mad
because it's creepy that's why. eeew.
Please continue to live in your self-imposed "Twilight Zone" far away from us normal people. The workplaces of the world thank you in advance!
I wish somebody would call me sweecakes. :/
Somebody most likely would if you were a woman and that somebody was a sexist pig who somehow forgot to leave the 1950s mindset behind. But judging by your name, Gil, you've probably got a schlong. And well, hate to break it to ya, but you just don't fit the usual profile for sexual harassment.
This ESPN douche-y dude had to go. What a sexist dinosaur, one of the 'good ol boys' to be sure.
At least he didn't call her a "smelly pirate hooker" who needs to go "home to Whore Island."
Nope. This twit, lacking the humor of Ron Burgandy, followed up by calling the woman "asshole" — how original. talk about a passive-aggressive Neanderthal. Hope he has fun "resurrecting" his career on cable channel 72 in Dayton! Just retire already you sexist windbag.
I'm a woman who works in the industry who wouldn't mind being called the following at work:
Sweet baby
Ms. Sexy
Hot Stuff
We really need to lighten up. I'll never listen or watch Edmoundson again. What an upright bitch.
Yeah right! Nice try. I can smell the stench from a mile away. A man wrote this post. Prick!
Your reply is completely humorless and overzealous, a clear indicator that you are indeed a woman, Lame-o. You may pass.
Ha ha. Not. By your standards, you must be a woman too.
You're entitled not to be offended by those names, but of course some of your female colleagues might consider you a door mat and lose respect for you. In contrast, Edwards (who is Edmoundson?) is also equally entitled to be offended by any of these names. Arguably, your offense at her offense proves you also need to lighten up.
I also note that your list did not include "asshole."
Jo Anne, you're my kinda broad sweetcakes.
Esepcially if they are overpaying you to look like a hooker off the streets. They can call you whatever they want honey! haha
Counting down the minutes until Jeannine pops up all "shaken and traumatized" for a segment on The View, then bails on ESPN for her own show on OWN.
Here's the thing: Women want equality in the workplace, but confuse their desire to be taken seriously by OTHERS, with taking THEMSELVES too damn seriously. Rather than get all bent out of shape over what was clearly a tongue-in-cheek comment (I took it as "OK, you don't want to be called 'sweetcheeks'? Then I'll call you what I call my guys, 'a$$hole'. There ya go, you're one of the guys now."), and get the guy fired; the best, most "empowering" thing Jeannine could have done is GIVE HIM SH*T RIGHT BACK. Take a dig at him about his age! SOMETHING!!! Guys love it and it's how we communicate with our friends. We all harass the living hell out of one another. If anything, it would actually earn her respect among the guys because it shows she can hold her own against them without running to the playground monitor. Instead, she pulled the typical politically correct bullsh*t, and rather than earn respect, she earned further resentment for herself and all "working women".
But, good luck finding anyone other than the Chelsea Handlers or Sarah Silvermans of the world who would actually be able to detect a shred of humor in a sentence if it walked up and slapped them in the face. Everybody has to get sued, fired, make public apologies, blablabla. If the boys in the sandbox play too rough, go get a hosting gig on Oxygen.
Oh baby, you're getting me all hot and bothered.
This guy was the voice of Saturday night during college football season. I'd watch anything he covered even when it was a blow-out. Get those girls back into skirts and cheering rather than costing a brilliant man his job! Bad move ABC! It will hurt your ratings.
I'm a little tired of the PC mentality being displayed in the USA. Why does Torico get a slight slap on the hand for his inappropriate advances off the air?
Stupidity is in the air…Is this article link to drudge.
Ron Franklin had already been demoted by ESPN before this incident happened (you can look it up, Franklin was ticked off that he was moved off major college football games on Saturdays), and this clearly (and conveniently) enabled them to fire him outright.
I'm not condoning what Franklin did, either — he deserves to go — but at the same time Janeane Edwards is an atrocious sideline reporter. She's mostly known for doing interviews during horse racing and ESPN has tried to shoe-horn her into other sports, mostly to negative results. She's no young "spring chicken" either (she looks like she's pushing 50) so to have her make a federal case out of this would be outrageous…or her simply trying to get attention.
You should be ashamed of yourself. With all the sexist comments on this thread, you've gotta throw in the ageist crap too.
P.S. Franklin's pushing 70. Do the math, dum-dum.
Wow, just wow. May the real God be with you.
And, ahem, may I point out that you are also a Deadline reader.
If this were The Today Show, GMA, or the evening news, that would be one thing, but it's ESPN and that is how sports guys talk to each other. If one of the girls wants to be be one of the guys, then you have to roll with the punches.
Sports guys call each other sweetie? Wow, that's a little disturbing.
Daughter, Sister, or Wife of Bam Bam: "The guys keep calling me sweet cakes and sweet stuff at work, hmmph!"
Bam Bam: "Gotta roll with the punches, honey. Gotta roll with the punches."
I do recall Obama calling a reporter "Sweetie" during the 2008 campaign. Didnt hurt him that much.
So I'm guessing you read this to comment on it, so I'll just refer you to your own post.
Only a frustrated conservative has to bash news channels on a sports post
I'm with u. That's how guys talk. But ur right its ESPN. That's one of the most visible corporations on earth. You can't afford that publicity. Image is everything. Its not just a camera in a locker room. Its a fortune 500 business. And that's how the dudes at ESPN think of it. As they should.
This is what happens when feminism and political correctness are the new dominant religion.
Here is her version of the story…
The trouble started, she said, during a production meeting before Friday's Chick Fil-A Bowl that was also attended by ESPN announcers Rod Gilmore and Ed Cunningham.
Edwards says she was talking with Gilmore about his wife being elected mayor of Alameda, California. After a few minutes, she said Franklin joined in the conversation and said, "Listen to me sweet baby, let me tell you something… " with a condescending tone.
Edwards says she told Franklin not to address her like that. To which Franklin said, according to Edwards: "OK, then listen to me a-hole."
Now let's assume that she's being 100% honest with this… (while we know that there are three sides to every story)
Let's replace Ms. Edwards with a young man and Ron Franklin remains. Mind you… Franklin is 68 yrs old. Ms. Edwards is considerably younger. If the players were two men and the older man said to the younger man, "Listen to me young whippersnapper, let me tell you something…" and the younger man said that he didn't appreciate being talked to in that manner and the older man said "OK, then listen to me a-hole." Mind you they're BOTH men… how would the reaction be? The younger guy would probably say, "Screw you Mr AARP" or probably call him an asshole back… either way I sincerely doubt that they would be on the damn news about the situation. Also I can almost guarantee that no one is getting fired behind the situation.
So we have a group of people who 'say' that they want to be treated equally… well this is the environment that we're in. It's a male dominated environment. Why is it that for two men to be in the situation they'd probably be pissed at each other and then talk shit to each other… or something like that… but when the other party is a woman the rules change?
The ONLY reason that this individual was fired was that he said something 'Not Nice' to a woman. Had the same been said to a man it would be a non story. Are not we supposed to be equal? Why are we not seeing equal treatment?
Lol. Your attempt at creating a scenario analogous to the real thing is pretty pathetic. Really? You think that a man would address another man as a "young whippersnapper"? Get real.
Where I have beef is that you seem to think that two guys verbally shit-talking each other is the same as a guy making sexual/sexist remarks to a woman. Yes, it's a male-dominated field. And yes, when a woman comes into the picture, you can shit-talk her like you do the boys, but NO, you cannot make derogatory statements referring to her sex. Women should not be objectified nor made to feel less than in the workplace. That's just standard decency, and exactly why current laws reflect that.
P.S. It is precisely because Franklin treated Edwards "unequally" that he got the shaft. Got it?
lol… Let me get this straight, it's 'pathetic' for the method of showing the ridiculousness of a situation to be an analogy? Surely you jest.
Of course a man would address another younger man as a young whippersnapper. The word exists. It may not be in 'your' lexicon but there are those who have used it.
Beef? smh…
There was this HUGE push for 'equality'… equal treatment, equal rights, equal (insert term here). Now when a situation arises in which a man treats a woman in a manner that would be at worst condescending had he treated a man similarly he gets fired. Fired? Basically we're firing men for being condescending? I find that to be incredible. Either we're equal or we aren't.
Franklin got the shaft because we live in a world in which companies are more afraid of lawsuits and bad publicity than they are of common sense. Oh well… it is what it is.
Dear Uncontainable Spirit of the 1950s,
You are too funny.
Keep it up!
Thank you… I think I will.
Oh, quit whining, boys! You're still in charge! Just remember that when you're at work, you're supposed to be civilized, polite, respectful. If you think it's cool to call someone an asshole at work, then you need a manners refresher. Evolve!
Yes, you have told it like it is.
If a male complains that a senior employee called him an asshole, they might both get a scolding, but not fired!
Is there any more to the story?
You are all a bunch of bunny's, babes, sweetcakes etc. Such a shame that it is looked at as derogatory. You know ww love all you women.
Now be a dear and grab me a coffee on your way out of the office would ya?
No room for women on the sidelines. Just wish they could accept it rather than trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
Pssst… Mad Men is just a show… It is not real…
Please turn off the TV set and return to earth.

Negotiator for teacher's aides union indicted on charges
A federal grand jury has indicted the former chief negotiator for the union representing Buffalo's teacher's aides and assistants, charging him with 80 counts of mail fraud and illegally receiving $332,500, according to the indictment.
Frank Aquila, 76, of Amherst, was found by a grand jury to have engaged in a scheme to defraud the Buffalo Educational Support Team (BEST), a union representing roughly 900 teacher's aides and assistants in Buffalo Public Schools, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. announced Tuesday.
Between March 2006 and December 2011, Aquila served as BEST's chief negotiator for its 2008 contract negotiations with the city school district, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Russell T. Ippolito Jr., who is handling the case.
During that period, the union refused to reach a contract settlement with the district unless the district agreed to allow BEST to select its own insurance broker, make commission payments totaling $135,000 per year for four years to the union-selected broker and make four payments to the union of $65,000 for costs and expenses associated with administering the health insurance benefits.
Unbeknownst to the district or the rest of the union, the indictment claims, Aquila received a cut of the commissions paid to the broker and a cut of the administration fees charged to the district.
The indictment was the culmination of an investigation by the FBI, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Office of Inspector General and the Office of Labor Racketeering and Fraud Investigations, under the direction of the New York Regional Office.
Aquila was arraigned Tuesday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Hugh B. Scott and released on bond.

Comments for FDA General
5. General Comments
December 24, 2000 Owen R. Fonorow 2880 Sun Valley Road Lisle, IL 60532 Elizabeth A. Yetley, PhD U. S. Food and Drug Administration 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville MD 20857-0001 Dear Ms. Yetley, I am outraged to learn that the FDA is considering mandating maximum nutrient quantities in foods and supplements. As posted on our web site, we have notified the FDA as early as 1995 that one of America's greatest scientists had made that claim that our number one killer, heart disease, is a vitamin C deficiency disease. Therefore, if Linus Pauling was right, limiting the amount of vitamin C by Government decree would amount to nothing less than genocide. The amount that prevents heart disease is unknown, but Pauling often recommended 3000 mg. You don't have to take my word for it. I make the same offer to you that I made to Dr. Kessler. We will provide you with a complimentary copy of the LINUS PAULING video on HEART DISEASE upon request. The United States Government should not be trying to limit vitamin C in any way, shape, or form without knowing what the correct intake amount really is. Such a measure only makes sense if the Government is interested in protecting certain pharmaceutical interests, and not the general interest. I strongly object to placing any maximum restrictions on any orthomolecular (non-toxic) substance, i.e. vitamin or amino acid. It is not only wrong, it is very wrong. Immoral. And a great many people are now aware of this fact. After receiving the following warning, I immediately went to the FDA web site looking for information about your proposal. I wanted to know how I should file a formal comment on your proposal As of today, I could find nothing about this matter on the FDA web site searching on your name and CODEX. Food & Drug Administration attempts to sneak restrictions on vitamins past the public during holiday break and change in executive branch Washington DC- In an apparent attempt to sneak restrictive international agreements on safe upper limits of vitamins and mineral supplements past public scrutiny, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter, just prior to the Christmas holidays, that gives the public only a few days to mount objections to these proposals. With the Bush administration still a month away from taking the reigns of the executive branch of government, and the public distracted by the Christmas holidays, the Food & Drug Administration issued a letter on December asking for public comment on upper limits for vitamins and minerals. The public comment period ends January 16, 2001. Many parties who object to the proposed limitations on doses of vitamins and minerals in food supplements will be away from their desks and not likely to receive the FDA notification until January 2. The FDA has already received letters pleading for an extension of the comment period since materials on this topic are not needed till November of 2001. Contact: Bill Sardi at email@example.com If this letter is not sufficient public comment regarding your proposal, please contact me at your earliest convenience with instructions on how to formally provide comment. Yours truly, Owen R. Fonorow Intelisoft Multimedia, Inc. www.PaulingTherapy.com (630) 416-1438 Fax: (630) 416-1309 email@example.com PO Box 3097, Lisle IL 60532 Cc: My Congressional delegation Local news agencies

Trout pulled as precautionary measure
Bees skipper: 'Everything's good' after outfielder hit by pitch
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | April 22, 2012 6:14 PM ET
Nothing to worry about, though, according to Bees manager Keith Johnson. He simply pulled Trout after he was hit in the fourth inning because Salt Lake was already up, 3-0, and the skipper wanted to play it safe.
"It was just a precautionary thing. We had a lead at the time, so rather than having him play through it, I pulled him," Johnson said. "Everything's good."
Trout tripled in the first inning and came around to score Salt Lake's first run on Alexi Amarista's sacrifice fly. He then walked in the second before getting hit with two outs in the fourth. That ended up sparking a seven-run, two-out rally.
MLB.com's No. 3 overall prospect is hitting .400 with one home run, 11 RBIs and three doubles in 18 games with Salt Lake. His four triples tie for the Minor League lead with Albuquerque's Alex Castellanos, Birmingham's Jared Mitchell, Frisco's Engel Beltre and Charleston's Tyler Austin.
Johnson said the thing he's noticed most about Trout is how much his actual game matches the hype that surrounds him.
"He comes as advertised," said Johnson. "You hear about his speed and you see it show up every day. You hear about his ability to put the ball in play, have good at-bats and you see it every day. He plays solid defense. You look at a player of his caliber, with all the surrounding hoopla and to see him work as hard as he does on a daily basis, it's rare."
Johnson said he's never managed another player like the Angels' top prospect, and thinks it's only a matter of gaining a bit more experience before Trout is ready to stick with the team at the Major League level.
"I think the biggest teacher is experience, and that's the one thing that he doesn't have that's going to make him a Major League player," said Johnson. "As far as the tools and the ability to compete, he's at that level. The things that you mess up as a player as you're coming up, doing something in a certain situation that you shouldn't have done, that's the only thing that I've seen that's lacking.
"The parts of his game, his ability, all that stuff is ready. It's just the reps, the games played, so to speak, that's holding him back."
Salt Lake's 16-run outburst Sunday was a team-wide effort, with six different players picking up at least two RBIs. Designated hitter Paul McAnulty homered twice and drove in three. First baseman Efren Navarro went 4-for-6 with two doubles and four RBIs and second baseman Jorge Cantu went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs. No. 15 Angels prospect Kole Calhoun, Alexi Amarista (No. 12) and Ryan Langerhans each drove in two apiece as well.
Starter Brad Mills (2-0) earned the win after allowing one run on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings. Loek Van Mil worked two scoreless innings in relief and Francisco Rodriguez set down Tucson in the ninth.
