Designers, artists, and editors are making their way down to Miami to toast soak up some sun (safely) and toast to the best in Modern and Contemporary art as part of Art Basel, which kicks off tomorrow. And NARS is hopping on the flight to celebrate the sultry city.
The brand just released its NARS Loves Miami gift set, which shines a light on the brand's second flagship as part of its Impactful Cities series. The set itself features the city's top-selling shades, including a palette that holds the iconic Orgasm blush, Laguna Bronzing Powder, and eye shadow shades in Fathom, Daphne (a personal fave), Cordura, and Kalahari. There's even a matching Orgasm nail polish and lip gloss to round out the set.
If you're hitting the art scene in the sultry locale this week, the set will ensure you stun at every soiree!
Available at Bloomingdales Boca Raton, Saks Fifth Avenue Bal Harbour, and Miami-area Nordstrom stores for $75.
There's no doubt about Sofia Vergara's sultry allure, but her newest CoverGirl campaign confirms she's a total bombshell.
The Modern Family star is serving up some serious bedroom eyes as the new face of the beauty brand's Bombshell collection, which features a Volume by LashBlast mascara, Shine Shadow by LashBlast, and Intensity Liner. It also includes fresh shades of the LipPerfection, Jumbo Gloss Balms, and Outlast stay Brilliant Nail Glosses from makeup master Pat McGrath to ensure you have a runway ready (á la Victoria's Secret) look. "The Wet-Lash look is something we've been creating behind the scenes at shows for years, using a combination of different products," she explained. "The mega intense trend is amazing as [the Bombshell mascara] keeps the massive volume as well as getting an extreme jet black, wet-lash finish for sultry, intense eyes."
And you can show off your hot new look when you feel your sexiest, regardless of what your day has in store with a new hashtag, #bombshelling (sorry, #selfie). Vergara and her fellow CG stars Katy Perry and Pink have already joined in on the action, showing off the natural confidence and sass. As they say, if you've got it, flaunt it!
The Duchess of Cambridge is closing out the year with a darker dye job!
Kate Middleton stepped out last week for the SportsAid Annual Gala in London with dark chocolate locks and mega-watt shine. She reportedly spent six hours at the Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa, recommended by her sister Pippa, snagging the dramatic transformation as well a much needed bit of "me time."
It's a decided turn from the chestnut tresses she sported during her pregnancy through her ashy almond hue for Prince George's christening. Any hints of silver strands that were spotted in recent months are gone thanks to the deep rich tone Ferretti chose for her.
Every mom deserves some time to treat herself to a little pampering; as the Duchess shows, a little goes a long way!
She's never spotted without at least a little mascara on, her handbag serves as a cosmetic counter to all who need, and, of course, she's already VIB Rouge certified. For a beauty buff of this caliber, a value pack of vibrant hues isn't going to cut it this year. Brushes are a must for makeup mavens, and some of our favorite brands (and retailers, woot!) stepped up their game to offer brushes that are not only functional but also fashionable. Regardless of your shopping budget, these sets are sure to add a dose of opulence to your friend's vanity through the holidays and beyond!

With the turkey picked clean (hopefully your manicure is intact from the cleanup) and door-busting deals abounding, the shopping season has officially begun. But Lindsey Wixson's latest campaign seems to have a different holiday in mind.
She's the latest lovely to pose for YSL's giftable beauty goodies, featuring a similar nightscape to Cara Delevingne's electric fall ads. The cosmetics themselves give off a bit more a Valentine's Day vibe than holiday, thanks to the limited edition heart embossed Blush Radiance as well as new romantic hues for the Pure Chromatics shadows and, of course, its signature lip stain.
Maybe the brand is staying a step ahead of the holiday hustle, or maybe YSL wants to ensure that everyone has a sweetie to smooch on New Years. Either way, the look of l'amor is always a classic.
You've taken the time to dress to impress your relatives and added a long lasting lippie to withstand kissing each and every one of them on the way to the Thanksgiving table. But once the last bite of stuffing is gone, the cleanup begins and there goes your manicure!

Ricky's has been an institution in the New York beauty scene for years, but now he wants to come home with you.
The retailer is branching into body care with help from Nest Fragrances to craft candles, a multi-purpose mist called Hair, There, and Everywhere, and soap on a rope in five scents well known to Big Apple residents. "It's playing with bath and body in a way that it's with a wink," Lorne Lucree, director of product development, told Women's Wear Daily. "It's all about insider New York moments in a humorous, fun, Ricky's way."
All of the cheeky scents tap into a New Yorker's everyday life, including Drunk Brunch with fruity notes, sandalwood, sweet violet, and white musk to mimic the delectable drink specials available; Walk of Shame that evokes a fresh early morning walk in Manhattan with notes of sparkling lemon, watery jasmine, sheer musk, and lily of the valley; Banker Husband (don't we all want one?!) is a classic man-just-out-of-the-shower aroma of cardamom, lemon drop, fir needle, rosewood, and oakmoss; Taco Tuesday is a sweeter take on the spicy special with notes of coconut, tangerine, cumin, and red pepper; and the smokiness of Street Meat, thanks to the aromas of whiskey, charcoal, outdoor leather, halal spices, and cedarwood – no food needed.
If your friends from out of town want a whiff of the city, these beauty trinkets are an amazing way to give them the real scent of the Big Apple. But as for the Banker Husband candle, is it a case of "if you light it, they will come?" I hope so!
Available at RickysNYC.com for $10-$24.

Since the launch of Flower, Drew Barrymore's been busy, sharing many pearls of beauty wisdom she's received over the years. In the December issue of Elle, she's divulging the secret to a flawless face on the go: her hands.
She follows in the footsteps of makeup mavens like, Pat McGrath, Gucci Westman, Diane Kendall, and many more. "The makeup artists I worked with when I was a teenager all used their hands. And I loved it," she told the glossy. "They would smear base makeup on a plate and mush it all together and then pat it all over your face, and you'd have the most beautiful skin you'd ever had in your life."
But she doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk by showing how to apply everyday. A few pro tips she shares: Dab a dot of cream blush at the top of your forehead, down the slope of the nose, and use the rest of it under your chin for an easy contour. Also, showing a little skin can give a bold eye hue a daytime feel.
With these helpful tips, we'll be sure to tune into her next Tip Tuesday video and beyond.

Stormin Norman's '93 NA Roadster has had some fantastic adventures.
The Roadster Life runs strong with this story - check out the recap on MR.net too see what we mean.
Here is a great account, and one many of us will relate to. Roadster Life often means enjoyable drives come upon you when you least expect it.
Random images added for illustrative purposes!
One of the best experiences I have ever had in my MX-5 was a day when a club run I was looking forward to was washed out because of unseasonally bad weather.
A few of us went instead to a popular breakfast place in a small town in the foothills of the Yarra ranges. On the way home I took what is one of the nicest roads to drive on in Victoria. This particular road winds its way along through forested hills. It is extra special because of the number of nicely cambered curves but also because it is lined, for the most part, on both sides by dense ferns that hang over the road and make it seem even narrower than it is. This enhances the sensation of speed.
I was looking forward to this stretch of road as a consolation prize as I set off from the cafe with roof down and heater blasting away. When I got to the start of the road I found that it was completely covered in dense fog to the extent that it was difficult to see the ferns on the side of the road let alone the curves in the road. As a consequence I slowed down to around 10km/h.
Instead of being disappointed it turned out to be one of the finest experiences I have had in a car. There I was alone on the road driving through that temperate rainforest. The blanket of fog seemed to dampen any other sounds except for the burble of the engine and the call of birds and everything around me seemed to be quiet and at peace. This was accompanied by a heady aroma of gum leaves and moist earth. It took around 25 minutes before that special bit of road ended and the fog cleared enough for me to be able to speed up.
It was another 20 minutes before I saw another person who happened to be an emergency services person pulling cars over to ask them to slow down because of a traffic hazard ahead. He was wrapped in a coat and looked cold and miserable and I could just tell that he could not understand why I was driving with the roof down and looking so happy.

When I opened the box, I was impressed at how great the packaging was inside. Then when I saw the Candle Holders, I saw how they were even more beautiful in person. Even though I looked at the dimensions, they are larger than I had envisioned. Absolutely a great purchase and on sale!

Must be washed by hand (obviously) but when washing the red paint on the stems peels off. When I called Pfaltzgraph they apologized, refunded my money and had me dispose of the candle set. Was disappointed in the candle set but most happy with how the issue was resolved.

Hello all!
I would like to thank Southland Performance Products for the opportunity to try out their recently released GlycoMyx.
GlycoMyx is a unique carbohydrate source in that it utilizes Purple Sweet Potato powder, Powdered oats, and Glucomannan. I am particulary excited in the fact it uses sweet potatoes which is my current go to for post workout nutrition and the fact it is gluten free.
I follow a Primal diet and finding a ready made carb source has been difficult for me. GlycoMyx doesn't fit 100% with my diet because of the Oats, but since they are certified gluten free, its really a non issue for me and I feel the other ingredients far outweigh this aspect.
I typically follow a leangains/IF eating style so a lot of my consumption of GlycoMyx will be in post workout and meal replacement form. I will definitely try it pre workout too in order to give an honest review of all the ways it can be utilized.
I will be posting soon on my initial thoughts of GlycoMyx.

GLAAD Praises Martin Comments on "Washington Watch"
Seniority Will Be Watchword in Philly Layoffs, Not Diversity
Journalist Anthony Shadid Also Recalled as Arab American

GLAAD Praises Martin Comments on "Washington Watch"
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation said Sunday it was pleased with a statement by commentator Roland Martin on his TV One news analysis show, "Washington Watch With Roland Martin," which it said made "clear that he understands how serious the issues of anti-LGBT bullying and violence are." GLAAD said Martin also agreed to meet with other organizations.
CNN suspended Martin a week ago over tweets Martin sent during the Super Bowl that GLAAD said were anti-gay. After retailer H&M's Super Bowl commercial featuring soccer player David Beckham, for example, Martin tweeted, "If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl" Martin, a contributing political analyst at CNN, denied his tweets were about homosexuals.
Martin said in his "Perspectives" segment:
"In his famous 'I Have a Dream' speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of a 'table of brotherhood' where people from different backgrounds could sit down, break bread and discuss their differences, all in a hope to get to know one another better.
"Well, this week in Los Angeles, I sat down with Herndon Graddick," senior director of programs and communications at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
"And so we did.
"Over breakfast for over 90 minutes, Herndon shared his thoughts with regards to my tweets and why he deemed them offensive to the LGBT community, and I reiterated my apology that — that if anyone who construed my comment[s] as being anti-gay or homophobic, or advancing violence, that was not my intent, and for that I was truly sorry.
"It was a discussion that touched on many other areas, and as GLAAD expressed in a statement afterwards – and a sentiment with which I concur – 'Both parties came away with a better understanding of one another and look forward to continuing this dialogue.'
"Some might say this is just semantics; but, really, it isn't. When anyone has a disagreement – whether public or private – there should be a call to sit down and sort it out, as opposed to both backing into corners, ratcheting up the noise to the point where no one hears one another. That benefits no one.
"Now, do we agree on all issues? No. But, ironically, I have historically supported many of the issues important to the GLAAD agenda, such as ending [the] 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy; gay adoption; and including gays in hate crimes laws. Those, folks, are facts. But it is only through dialogue do we get an opportunity to see each other's perspective and learn what it is like to walk in that person's shoes.
"So what now?
"Well, first, it is important to understand that I operate in the role of a journalist – not an activist – one who is used to participating in and leading the difficult discussions, whether on TV, radio, in print, or online. As I said to Herndon, on this show, we speak to the African-American community. And as I've said on many occasions, the Black community should, and must, discuss the issues involving sexual orientation – whether it's personal, with regards to the church, in our families, or our schools. And I've been a vocal opponent of bullying, whether that involves heterosexuals or gay youth.
"Now, have we had these discussions? Yes. Will we continue to have these discussions? No doubt. My goal as host and managing editor of 'Washington Watch' is to shine a light on the issues and then peel back the complex layers so we all have a much better understanding.
"Now, if you're gay or straight, your voice matters. If you are a pastor or activist, your voice matters. I have no plan to abandon my goal as a truth teller on a variety of issues; and, yes, that includes those that may be on the LGBT agenda. I am confident that this table can serve as an example of Dr. King's 'table of brotherhood,' and I and this excellent team will do all we can to advance the dialogue so we all can learn, grow and prosper together.
"That's my perspective.
"What's yours?"
GLAAD replied on Sunday:
"On his show, Washington Watch, Martin today took another important step, acknowledging that his words had a negative impact, and making it clear that he understands how serious the issues of anti-LGBT bullying and violence are. This incident, along with recent incidents of violence directed at LGBT people, sparked a national dialogue centered around why the issue of anti-LGBT violence needs to be taken seriously.
"GLAAD's meeting with Martin on Tuesday, February 14, was a good introduction. He has committed to meeting with GLAAD and other organizations in the near future for a more substantial dialogue. We support Martin's commitment to use his media platforms to shed light on the harms of hate-inspired violence and look forward to continuing this dialogue.
"GLAAD was one of several organizations and LGBT advocates who originally called on Martin to take responsibility for his tweets. We will be reaching out in hopes of working with and involving members of the community in this ongoing discussion.
"Following our call in regard to Martin, there has also been discussion around issues of race and the LGBT community. Against the best interest of everyone, racial epithets and homophobic language were used in online attacks against Martin and GLAAD. GLAAD unequivocally condemns racist language or behavior. The LGBT community is made up of people from all races, genders, faith groups, and all walks of life. The fundamental belief in equality for all people is at the very core of all that we strive to accomplish.
"Part of GLAAD's job as an organization is to hold the media accountable for the words it presents and to help create a society in which every person can live without fear of violence on the basis of their identity. GLAAD welcomes Martin and his willingness to engage with us around these issues. It's not easy to sit down with a group that has just spoken out publicly in the way we did. It speaks to his character that he is willing to have this dialogue with us and for the comments he made today. We thank him for that and look forward to working with him and continuing to talk with him about how we can achieve our mutual goals together."
Seniority Will Be Watchword in Philly Layoffs, Not Diversity
Seniority, not diversity, will be the prime consideration when the Philadelphia Media Network reduces the newsroom staffs of the Inquirer, Daily News and Philly.com by 37 positions, the company and the Newspaper Guild told Journal-isms on Friday.
"I hope something is done to stop the wholesale loss of blacks and Latinos," said Vernon Clark, an Inquirer reporter who represented the Guild in talks with the company's human resources managers on Wednesday. "Every time we've gone through a downsizing, diversity has taken a big hit."
The declarations brought to mind the tumult created in 2007, when the Inquirer's then-parent company laid off up to 71 newsroom employees, or about 17 percent of the editorial staff. When the current sale process is completed, the papers will have their fifth owner in six years, Julie Moos noted for the Poynter Institute.
The National Association of Black Journalists, and then the Asian American Journalists Association and Unity: Journalists of Color Inc. protested the disproportionate numbers of journalists of color on the 2007 layoff list. Black journalists were twice as likely to be there. Management and the Guild each blamed the other for that outcome.
Then, after renewed negotiations between management and the Guild, at least nine newsroom employees on the Inquirer's layoff list — including two African American journalists — were reported coming back to work.
On Wednesday, Mike Armstrong reported for the Inquirer, "In a cost-cutting move, the parent company of The Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com said it will reduce the number of newsroom positions by 37 — through buyouts, it hopes — by the end of March."
Asked whether diversity would be taken into consideration in making layoffs, the Guild and management reached the same conclusion.
"Our last contract cites that the employer must review its diversity hiring practices but there is no language regarding protecting diversity in the event of any layoffs," Dan Gross, president of the Newspaper Guild of Greater Philadelphia/CWA Local 38010, said in an email. "Those are done by seniority."
Mark Block, vice president for external relations at the Philadelphia Media Network, said, "Our contract with the Guild requires layoffs in seniority order — length of service. We are not permitted to take into account any demographic factors or job performance."
Clark said he raised the diversity issue during union talks with the human resources managers. "They're concerned, but always the same issue with seniority," he said.
Newsroom employees said privately it was too early to tell where cuts would be made. Staffers have until Feb. 29 to apply for a buyout. "Based on response to the voluntary program, the company might then resort to layoffs of Guild members to reach its goal of eliminating 37 positions by March 31," the Inquirer story said.
In any case, another staffer said, "Diversity was lost a long time ago."
Separately, "Nearly 300 newsroom employees of Philadelphia Media Network Inc. signed a public statement Friday calling on the current and any future owners of the media company to protect the integrity of their reporting," Armstrong reported.
". . . The three-paragraph statement addresses both the ramifications of a possible change in ownership for Philadelphia Media Network (PMN) and employees' 'dismay' over how coverage of the sale process had been 'compromised and censored' by management.
". . . Greg Osberg, PMN chief executive officer and publisher, responded with his own statement, expressing support for the journalists' 'clear message,' but disagreeing that censorship had occurred."

Journalist Anthony Shadid Also Recalled as Arab American
Anthony Shadid, the New York Times Mideast correspondent who died in Syria at age 43 Thursday after an asthma attack, was hailed by journalists Friday as "one of the best journalists of his age," in the words of David Kenner, associate editor at Foreign Policy magazine.
Shadid was the grandson of Lebanese immigrants, and as such was also the object of pride among Arab journalists and Arab Americans.
In a story headlined, "Tributes flow for deceased Lebanese-American journalist Anthony Shadid," the Beirut-based Al-Akhbar quoted high-profile Egyptian blogger Issandr el-Amrani, or The Arabist, calling Shadid "the Godfather of Arab-American journalism."
An official of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the leading civil rights group for Arab-Americans, mentioned Shadid's ethnicity before his profession when quoted in the Detroit Free Press.
" 'It's a huge loss, not just for Arab-Americans, but for journalists,' said Abed Ayoub, of Dearborn, [legal] director of ADC. 'He embodied what journalists should be,' " Niraj Warikoo wrote.
Sami Moubayed, a university professor, historian, and editor-in-chief of Forward Magazine in Damascus, Syria, wrote for the Huffington Post:
"I looked up to Tony — as any aspiring journalist would, when I first met him in 2003. I was new in my career, and he was on his way to winning his first Pulitzer.
"He had everything that we lacked as Arab journalists covering the Middle East. He did not have to humor anybody and was unafraid to say the truth. He couldn't care less if government authorities hated him — the most they could do was revoke his visa, or expel him from the country in 24 hours. He didn't have the 'I Can't Write That Complex.' He wrote what he saw and felt, with no restrictions. Tony sympathized with ordinary people of the Middle East, admired their struggles, and since December 2010, was overwhelmingly supportive of the Arab Spring that ripped through the Arab World.
"Tony learned Arabic as an adult, but claimed that he always bonded with the Lebanese emigrant community in Oklahoma, where he grew up. He spent most of his professional life covering the region, first with the Associated Press, and then with the Boston Globe and the Washington Post, for which he famously won Pulitzer Prizes in 2004 and 2010. Those awards never affected his ego — not the slightest bit. They were actually the least thing he was comfortable discussing, so as not to let other journalists feel that he was, in any way, superior to them."
Al-Akhbar also reported, "Shadid's sister-in-law told Al-Akhbar that the family had yet to decide whether to bury the esteemed journalist in Lebanon or in the United States."

AP Cites Nekesa Moody as First on Whitney Houston Story
Nekesa Mumbi Moody, music editor for the Associated Press, was awarded the news cooperative's Beat of the Week Award for her coverage of Whitney Houston's death Saturday night, the result of a tip from Houston's publicist, Kristen Foster.
". . . no one even came close to Moody," Jack Stokes, editor of the AP's internal Connections newsletter, wrote in the publication Thursday. "From TMZ to The New York Times, from MSNBC to Drudge to the Los Angeles Times, AP was credited across the board for an hour. Quite simply, no one else had the story."
"The beat was so big that other media were asking as to how AP got it," Stokes continued.
"The answer is journalism basics:
- "Preparation pays off hugely. And, prepare for the worst.
- "Strong source work is essential, including all of those phone calls and emails and coffee dates that don't seem to yield anything notable at the time but whose effect gets layered and multiplied until just that moment when it matters most.
- "Fast action among diverse journalists working as a team is critical.
- "Being good at what you do helps a whole lot, too. . . ."
The prize comes with $500.

Black History Month Related to Mexican-American Struggle
As February began, Gary Younge, U.S. correspondent for Britain's Guardian newspaper, related the observance of Black History Month to the shutdown of the Mexican American studies program in Tucson, Ariz.
Younge wrote, "Black history month, which begins today in the US, gives us all a chance to rescue stories that have been discarded, correct stories that have been mistold and elevate stories that have been downplayed.
"Black history is not a subgenre of history. Nor does it stand apart from other histories. It makes no more or less sense than American history, Jewish history or Tudor history. Nor is it any more or less diverse — black historians don't agree on everything just because they're black. Partial, interconnected, necessary, it is simply the world's history told either about or through the prism of a particular group of people.
"Recent events in Tucson, Arizona pose a direct threat to the very logic on which black history month (not to mention to mention the 'heritage months' dedicated to Hispanic, Asian Pacific and Native American histories) now stands.
"The Tucson Unified School District, where 60% of the students are Latino, will today be forced to shut down its Mexican American studies program or lose as much as $14m of funding from Arizona state. A few weeks ago, officials went into schools and 'confiscated' seven books from the classrooms deemed to promote 'ethnic resentment'. Among them were several classics including Pedagogy of the Oppressed, by Paulo Freire, and Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 [Years], by Bill Bigelow.
". . . One of the most salient lessons of black American history is the effectiveness of solidarity. As in its policing (the state's stop-and-search laws were copied in more stringent form in other states), so in education: Arizona could set a dangerous precedent that might be used against women's studies, queer studies and, yes, black history month. In short, these measures seek not to teach history but to preach nationalist mythology, aimed at raising not so much open-minded critical thinkers as blind patriots. We have been here before."
Meanwhile, in the Huffington Post on Tuesday, Jack Mirkinson introduced readers to Freedom's Journal, the first black newspaper in American history. "Founded in 1827 in New York City, the first edition of the Journal summed up a great many of the reasons for the continuing, vital existence of the black press.
" 'We wish to plead our own cause,' the editors wrote. 'Too long have others spoken for us. Too long has the publick been deceived by misrepresentations, in things which concern us dearly.'
"Samuel Cornish and John Russwurm served as the top two editors of the Journal, which was founded the same year that slavery was abolished in New York. They were explicit in their desire to counter the steady stream of racist reporting coming out of the city's other papers. Subscriptions cost $3 a year, and the paper tried to give a comprehensive look at the day's news."
All 103 issues of Freedom's Journal have been digitized and are available on the Web site of the Wisconsin Historical Society, Mirkinson noted.

Short Takes
- Tenisha Bell has been named executive producer of "CNN Newsroom with Suzanne Malveaux," the National Association of Black Journalists announced Friday, congratulating Bell, who is president of the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists. "Bell, who has been with CNN for six and a half years, currently oversees CNN's weekend morning shows, 6a – 12p. In that time she has distinguished herself by leading the show teams for anchors T.J. Holmes, Betty Nguyen, Rick Sanchez, Tony Harris, Fredricka Whitfield, Carol Lin and several others."
- The Women's Media Center reported Monday that women represented 21.7 percent of guests on Sunday morning news talk shows airing on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and Fox News and only 18.1 percent of all radio news directors. The "Heavy Hundred," the "most important radio talk show hosts in America" selected by the editors of Talkers magazine with input from industry leaders, included only 13 solo female hosts and three women who co-host shows with men. In sports news, women represented 11.4 percent of all editors, 10 percent of all columnists and 7 percent of all reporters.
- " 'CQ/CX,' a new play by Gabe McKinley depicting the Jayson Blair scandal at The New York Times, is less 'Front Page' than 'Front Page Correction' — a straightforward dramatization and a cautionary tale of ambition, deception and hubris," Frank Rizzo, theater critic of the Hartford Courant, wrote Thursday in the New York Times. Jennifer Farrar of the Associated Press called the off-Broadway play a "dynamic, intelligent production."
- "For years, the expression 'illegitimate child' has annoyed me like fingernails on a blackboard," Julie Drizin wrote Tuesday for American Journalism Review. Drizin directs the Journalism Center on Children and Families at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland. She described raising the issue with the Associated Press, which created a Stylebook entry prohibiting the term this week. "Let's stop using the expression 'illegitimate children,' and let's educate others in our newsrooms who still do. For kids' sake," Drizin wrote.
- In Chicago, "Eight months after WBBM-Channel 2 abruptly released Steve Bartelstein from his contract and sent him packing, the CBS-owned station finally hired a new face for its dismally low-rated weekday morning news show," Robert Feder wrote Thursday for TimeOut Chicago. "Kris Gutierrez, 34, a Dallas-based national correspondent for Fox News, will join CBS 2 as news anchor alongside Susan Carlson from 4:30 to 7am, starting March 12."
- "CNN.com Managing Editor Meredith Artley announced today that Manuel Perez has been named Editorial Director for CNN Digital," Betsy Rothstein reported Wednesday for FishbowlDC. "Manuel has been with the CNN Digital team since 2001, serving first in the network's DC bureau as a writer/editor and now Atlanta where he manages the daily coverage priorities and editorial content across CNN's digital platforms."
- "Salt Lake City's El Observador is rebranding itself as OKEspañol and changing its delivery schedule. The 11,000-circulation, twice-weekly paper will still be printed and distributed only in Utah, and editor Patricia Quijano-Dark says 'We're not heading for national yet,' Andrew Beaujon wrote Thursday for the Poynter Institute.
- "Today's decision by Ecuador's highest court to uphold the criminal libel conviction brought by President Rafael Correa against El Universo represents a serious blow to freedom of expression and a setback for democracy," the Committee to Protect Journalists said on Thursday.
- The Committee to Protect Journalists said Thursday it was "disturbed by a series of violent attacks on international journalists that appear aimed at suppressing coverage of land-related protests in Panhe, in eastern China's Zhejiang province."

Firefighter, police officer hurt saving historic home, but barn destroyed
"It was a hell of a save," Durham Fire Chief Corey Landry said.
Firefighters from more than a dozen communities - including many who fought a fire in Portsmouth only hours before - protected the historic home at 4 Smith Park Lane. The fire destroyed a barn and a large breezeway or addition connected to the home, the chief said.
Landry said a police officer suffered a leg muscle injury that could keep him out of work for weeks.
A firefighter slipped and fell, suffering a back injury and a concussion.
"I think the helmet saved him," said Landry, who expects the firefighter back to work by midweek.
The injured were taken to the hospital and later released.
Landry said one wall of the home was damaged. Landry didn't have a dollar estimate for the damage. He said antiques were stored in the barn, but wasn't aware of any animals that lived there.
Durham firefighters were at another fire scene at 20 Main St., when the call came in about 3:30 p.m. for the barn fire. Firefighters heard exploding propane tanks in the barn, which collapsed in the fire.
The state Fire Marshal's Office and local authorities were working to determine the fire's cause.
The Durham Community Church opened its doors to provide bathrooms and warmth for emergency responders.
Durham and University of New Hampshire police helped with traffic and crowd control.
Fire apparatus and manpower from Dover, Lee, Madbury, Exeter, Portsmouth, Pease, Nottingham, North Hampton, Stratham, Newington, Somersworth, Rochester, Newmarket, Barrington and Rollinsford. South Berwick, Maine, helped with station coverage.

It comes down to the most important part of starting up your new website, TRAFFIC. Without that traffic, your reviews never get read, your products never get sold and your income never increases. New businesses are difficult on their own, especially if it's your first one and not having visitors is just going to make things harder for you. Let's dive into some basics on business marketing together and see how you can benefit from your hard work.
- In this article we will discuss these 4 important topics:
- Building an SEO web ready site
- Bringing in the traffic from day one of operation
- Interacting with your public
- Keeping your audience
New Business SEM
If you've read through the my past search engine marketing article you may have a head start on creating your new online business when reading the lessons ahead.
Building an SEO web ready site
You may already have your website up and running, but if it's made incorrectly, you can cost your business valuable traffic.
- These topics will give you a start on this process. (links below go to other internal pages on this site)
- Link building
- Keywords
- Meta tags
- Black hat and white hat SEO
Reviewing those pages will guide you through setting your website up and getting your new online business SEO ready.
Bringing in the traffic from day one of operation
Visitors where are you? Some of the ways Google and other search engines determine the value of your website is by how old your domain is. If you recently bought a new domain name and hosted the website and are have no inbound links coming from other sites or higher PR (Page Rank) sites, then you fall into this category. Getting new traffic is tough and most new business owners dump all their advertising money into PPC (pay per click) ads and pray a lot. I say save your money for when you have the traffic already coming and you want more traffic to your website. That will give you time to work out any of the issues that may arise from the coding, or shipping and processing setup you have to attend to your customers needs.
What I do to get traffic when I open the doors on a new website.
I get the ball rolling by going to relevant forums and blogs and posting about the upcoming site (if not open yet). I set up some social media, videos work best for generating fast traffic in my opinion. Youtube account and some video software or a video production company like 5 Pints Video Production can help you get off the ground. The guys at 5 Pints are great and do video for companies anywhere in the US and I think UK. Another form of new traffic building I use is setting up a Twitter and LinkedIn or Facebook account and follow lots of people and tell them about my site. It's not the biggest draw and does require some extra effort. Then start link building. In my experience it is worth it to spend some money on getting your links coming from a PR5 or better website to point to your site, even better when tied to a relevant article.
Interacting with your public
Keep answering those forum questions. If someone challenges your post, and you feel you're correct – don't ignore the post but don't start a flame war either. Politely post your findings or clarify your post and move on. When one of your visitors comments on something you wrote, comment back with a nice thank you or explain more to help them with a question they may have posted. People are often seeking extra advice and your knowledge can help them grow or resolve the issues they may be experiencing with their current project or product. Get out there and network! Running into a member of an organization or bumping into someone in the same field may offer some benefit in the future. Don't be afraid to tell others about your new website. Start up an email newsletter, offering specials, important dates and keep reminding them you are open.
Keeping your audience
Now that you have some traffic coming to your new business site, let's keep them here and returning for more. Keep your content fresh and updated as often as possible. It has been 2 weeks since I posted on SEO Web Help with a new article and it brought me from number 7 on Google to number 38 on my search term. Keep adding new images (named appropriately in the alt tags) and video if you can. If you have items for sale, move them around on your home page. Add new text to the home page. Offer weekly specials or contests. If I visit a site and nothing has changed in a month, I rarely ever go back to visit that site again. Give your audience a reason to keep coming back and they will tell their friends about your site too. Just another way to keep that traffic coming!

I hold a joint appointment with the Maine Sustainability Solutions Initiative (SSI) and the School of Earth and Climate Sciences. The focus of my work is on watershed geomorphology with attention to processes that influence the morphology and stability of hillslopes and waterways, and that govern the flux of water, sediment and nutrients in the contemporary landscape. Topics of my research include stream channel morphology and stability, surface flow patterns in headwater drainage basins, watershed sediment budgets, and modern watershed best management and rehabilitation practices. I am particularly interested in projects seeking to identify, quantify and explain changes to landscapes caused by human activities.
Much of my research is inspired by interest in advancing the measurment, description and prediction of environmental impacts across spatial scales ranging from single hillslopes to large watersheds and time scales spanning from a single rainfall event to millennia. I have extensive experience working in the Mid-Atlantic region of North America in collaboration with partners involved with the USEPA Chesapeake Bay Program. My current work includes participation in several interdisciplinary projects in the SSI portfolio, including "Sustaining and Restoring Urban Stream Resources in Maine" and "Safeguarding a Vulnerable Watershed (Sebago Lake)".

The Wire: The Musical Is an Unblinking Look at the Futility of American Drug Policy That Will Set Your Toes A-Tappin'
By Tara Ariano onIf you liked The Wire enough during its five uncompromising seasons on HBO but wished it'd had more in common with Anything Goes, I have splendid news! Coming to the Players Theatre, it's The Wire: The Musical! Mr. Omar (Michael K. Williams) won't just whistle, he'll sing and dance! Kima (Sonja Sohn) shows off a little hoofing while getting to know her dissolute colleague McNulty (Not Dominic West)! Bubbles (Andre Royo) details the heart-wrenching details of his struggle with drug addiction in a rousing gospel number that'll bring the house down! Plus: Isn't Faizon Love a better Stringer Bell, when you really think about it? "I'm pretty sure David Simon doesn't know they're doing this," says the New York Times. "But if he did, he'd love it!" And so will you.
By the way, if you're amused by the idea of a version of The Wire that's appropriate for the whole family, check out Rap: The Musical from Mr. Show. "Rap: The Musical contains no rap music!"
