Powerful scooters that act like motorcycles—but no shifting!

That's why when we find one, we make sure you know about it.

MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: 2012 Suzuki GSX-R600
Find out why it's so popular with women
9/4/2012, By Rachael Westfall, Photos by Salvador and Maggie Maltbie
There's a reason why so many women choose the Suzuki GSX-R600 when shopping for a sportbike. The chassis and seat are narrow and relatively low, allowing for an easy reach to the ground for even the shortest of riders (that includes me, at 5-foot-2). Throttle response is smooth but powerful enough to feed the jollies fluttering around in your stomach in anticipation of a ride on this bike.

Apple's iTunes 11 program moves all the various media libraries from a vertical panel on the left side of the window to a small Library pop-up menu in the top-left corner. For a quicker way to switch between media types instead of moving the mouse up to the menu, Apple has also included iTunes keyboard shortcuts to jump instantly to the desired collection.
For example, on the Mac, press Command-1 on the keyboard to go right to the Music library from elsewhere in the program. The other shortcuts include Command-2 (Movies); Command-3 (TV Shows); Command-4 (Podcasts); Command-5 (iTunes U); Command-6 (Books) and Command-7 (Apps). Windows users should substitute the Control key for the Mac's Command key in each shortcut.
Hate the look of iTunes 11? Go to the program's View menu and choose Show Sidebar to restore the panel on the left side that displays the program's libraries, playlists, connected devices, iTunes Store link and other elements.

With a powerful blizzard expected to blanket Massachusetts with up to 3 feet of snow, Governor Deval Patrick ordered non-emergency state workers to stay home, urged people to get off the roads by noon Friday before the storm intensifies, called for all local school districts to cancel classes, and announced that the Boston area's public transit system would shut down.
The nor'easter arriving Friday morning could drop 2 to 3 feet of snow that would be lashed by winds gusting up to 65 miles per hour into drifts as deep as 5 feet, the National Weather Service said this afternoon.
This comment has been removed.
Wonder how the bread and mile is holding up. Also wonder why thereis a run on these two products before any predicted storm. Is milk a real staple? I can certainly attest to seeing empty bread shelves a day before a predicted storm.
I would think a run on snackfood would make more sense.
Ok, did anybody else see the Govs new Sec of Public Safetu fanning herself during his press conference. Once again a total disgrace of an appointment by the lame duck Gov. There was no high ranking Trooper or Boston cop that could take that job? Hey Dems you deserve what you get, watch the video, disgusting.
Since I moved to Boston 30 years ago, I can't remember the entire MBTA being shut down ever, until 3 times in the past year and a half.
What's the problem? Is the weather that much worse lately? I thought it was better.
Or maybe the T is now run by weak-kneed incompetents, especially Secretary of Transportation Richard Davey, whose never had to do any real work or do without a limo for any of his adult life. If you've never used the T, how can you possibly know how important it is to a large segment of the population.

Janet Cooke's Hoax Still Resonates After 30 Years
This week marked the 30th anniversary of Cooke's story "Jimmy's World," which went on to win a Pulitzer Prize that The Washington Post was forced to return because it was all a fabrication.
Tuesday marked the 30th anniversary of the day these words appeared on the front page of the Sunday Washington Post:
"Jimmy is 8 years old and a third-generation heroin addict, a precocious little boy with sandy hair, velvety brown eyes and needle marks freckling the baby-smooth skin of his thin brown arms.
"He nestles in a large, beige reclining chair in the living room of his comfortably furnished home in Southeast Washington. There is an almost cherubic expression on his small, round face as he talks about life — clothes, money, the Baltimore Orioles and heroin. He has been an addict since the age of 5.
"His hands are clasped behind his head, fancy running shoes adorn his feet, and a striped Izod T-shirt hangs over his thin frame. 'Bad, ain't it,' he boasts to a reporter visiting recently. 'I got me six of these.'"
It was an anniversary most would like to forget. "Jimmy's World" was all a fabrication, created by reporter Janet Cooke, who went on to win a Pulitzer Prize that the Post was forced to return.
Thirty years later, Cooke's name is synonymous with the hoax she perpetrated. Her story is taught in journalism schools, and some say a portion of the damage she wreaked on the credibility of the news media remains.
"How could she do it? I still don't understand that," Benjamin C. Bradlee, the Post's executive editor at the time, told Journal-isms on Wednesday. "She was just one in a million." He noted that the Post has had no similar incidents since, and that while today's news industry has its woes, cases like Cooke's are thankfully not among them.
Still, asked whether the Cooke affair and its aftermath continue to resonate, Bradlee confessed, "They do in my soul."
Cooke's hoax cost other black journalists credibility in the minds of some editors. The fear of guilt-by-common-blackness was foremost in many black journalists' minds when Jayson Blair confessed to fabricating stories at The New York Times in 2003.
"Because she was black, innocent black journalists did penance for her sins," Gayle Pollard-Terry wrote of Cooke in 1996 for the National Association of Black Journalists' NABJ Journal. Cooke had publicly apologized that year on ABC's Nightline.
"Fifteen years later, on the May 10 Nightline report, Ted Koppel told Janet Cooke that an unidentified black woman who came to the Post after her told ABC that Cooke's transgression had made the new reporter's job all that much harder." The woman was Michel Martin, now host of NPR's Tell Me More.
"Jacqueline Thomas, then a young reporter at the Chicago Sun-Times, now Washington bureau chief for the Detroit News, remembers editors suddenly challenging her work.
"In other newsrooms, some black reporters were asked if they were 'Cooke-ing' their quotes. Others were told to double-check their sources and make sure they weren't 'Cooke-ed.' Many editors told black reporters that they didn't trust them or their work. Those editors often called sources to double-check, which undermined the reporters.
"In the wake of Cooke's lies and the Post's carelessness when hiring her, resumes were suddenly double-checked. References were grilled, at times even before the new job was offered. Transcripts were required from every academic institution attended decades after graduation.
"That is the sorry legacy of 'Jimmy's World,' which has become a case study in journalism ethics classes. Her name has become synonymous with fakery and bad journalism. Her sins have cast doubts on a generation of black journalists."
Black journalists at the Post today, most of whom arrived after the Cooke incident, live with the same competitive pressures Cooke faced. Informally, they articulated thoughts that included not wanting even to hear Cooke's name, recalling the questioning their credibility took in black communities and resigning themselves to the notion that some people will always seek the easy way. They mentioned white miscreants whose names never became as prominent as Cooke's.
Via e-mail, a couple went on the record.
"Even 30 years after the fact, the Janet Cooke debacle serves as a cautionary tale and a reminder of the solemn responsibility we carry as journalists," Michael A. Fletcher told Journal-isms. "Particularly now, in this cluttered, chaotic and immensely competitive news environment, it is easy to forget the sacred bond we share with our audience. We have to tell the truth and we can not succumb to lying — or even hype or exaggeration — in an effort to stand out. The current may be moving in another direction, but we have to remember that our role is to find and report new information. And, yes, the more startling, the better that can be for business. But at the same time, we have to provide context and do our best to illuminate the complexity of the forces shaping our lives."
Added Hamil R. Harris: "Integrity, truth and reputation are all we have in this business. I am in an Atlanta airport heading to Florida to bury my stepfather who raised me. On the plane I read a few chapters of All the Presidents Men. To me the legacy of the Post is to tell the truth and hold people accountable no matter where it may lead. Ironically on the TV is a story about one of the victims in the Eddie Long scandal speaking out. Journalism is hard work. There are no shortcuts even during the age of Facebook and Twitter."
Cooke, 26 years old at the time of "Jimmy's World," has disappeared from public view. She spoke for the first time about her saga in a 1996 interview with GQ reporter Mike Sager, a former boyfriend and Washington Post metro reporter. They sold the rights to the story to Tri-Star Pictures for $1.6 million, with Cooke getting 55 percent and Sager 45 percent, according to reports at the time.
A usable script was never produced, but Sager, now a writer at large for Esquire magazine, says Cooke hasn't completely vanished. "I've never lost touch with janet I don't think, tho I'm not at liberty to divulge her whereabouts. I haven't seen her since 96," he wrote Journal-isms by e-mail. "No movie alas." He said he gets an e-mail now and then.
Sager included the GQ story in his anthology, "Scary Monsters and Super Freaks."

"It Just Came Out" in Interviewing Eddie Long Supporters
In the course of interviewing young congregants at the Atlanta area mega-church pastored by Bishop Eddie Long, CNN anchor Don Lemon disclosed on a live newscast Saturday night, "I am a victim of a pedophile.
"Let me tell you what got my attention about this, and I have never admitted this on television. I'm a victim of a pedophile when I was a kid. Someone who was much older than me, and those are the things that they do," Lemon told the three congregants, who had been unwavering in their support of the bishop during the interview.
"Four people have come up with the exact same stories," Lemon told them. "That's what pedophiles do. The language, 'This isn't going to make you gay if you do this.' "
"When I look at different pedophiles, as you said, I don't see bishop as one," Gabrielle A. Richardson replied. "If you look at the various things he's done for the community and young people in general, no."
Gary A. Foster said, "I support the minister because the minister has supported me. He's my leader and it is our duty to stand behind our prophet, and that's what I will continue to do until he gives me reason not to."
"I'm not saying the bishop is a pedophile, but no one is perfect," Lemon replied, adding that many in the congregation have not even "put into their mind" that "something there might be inappropriate." He concluded with a request that "you should stand behind your bishop but you should all keep an open mind" and concluded, "as I've been saying all week, there are no winners in this situation."
The newscast took place a day before Long, standing before thousands of supportive congregants vowed to "vigorously" defend himself against the accusations of four young men who claim he coerced them into sex, as Gracie Bonds Staples, Shelia M. Poole and Craig Schneider reported for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"Long went on to say he has never portrayed himself as a perfect man. 'But I am not the man being portrayed on the television. ... That's not me. That's not me.' "
Later Sunday, Lemon, 44, told Journal-isms in a message, "I've carried this secret since I was 6 yrs old. Didn't tell my mom til I was 30. Too embarrassed. Too ashamed. Too guilty. Personally, I know I've internalized it. Years of therapy, etc. Professionally, I think it's helped me.
"It's made me more curious about who people really are. I learned very early on that people aren't always what they present in public. So while being acutely attuned to that has helped me professionally, it's too bad I had to learn it at such a young age. Just like any other profession, journalists come with a myriad of personal experiences. We shouldn't be afraid to act like human beings."
Lemon's revelations were met with supportive and congratulatory messages to Lemon's Facebook page.
"It was a brave move, absolutely. You are an inspiration to many ... " one said.
"Use your place as our 'go-to' reporter to BREAK THE SILENCE, STOP THE VIOLENCE!" said another.
"Don, you are very brave," said a third. "Thank you for revealing your truth, particularly in the presence of those young adults who needed to know that questioning is more than okay. As 1 Thess 5:21 says, 'Test all things. Hold fast what is good.' May they realize that their first loyalty is to the Word, and not a man."
Lemon replied, "Thank you all for your kind words. I had no idea I'd say that on national tv. It just came out. Sadly, it's the truth for so many young men."
Asked what he thought of one woman's questioning whether such a revelation was journalistically appropriate, Lemon told Journal-isms, "I have no other response to that except what I wrote to you. It was unplanned and I am human. There was no agenda behind it."

Diversity at Local Stations Falls for 3rd Year
ABC News says four of color have become senior producers since 2008.
"The latest RTDNA/Hofstra University Annual Survey finds that the percentage of minority news directors rose in both television and radio. But those were nearly the only positive numbers in the survey. Overall, the percentage of minorities in both radio and television fell for the third straight year, although the drop in TV was small," the Radio Television Digital News Association reported on Wednesday.
"Women in radio news rose slightly, but the percentage of women radio news directors went down, as did both the overall percentage of women in TV news and women TV news directors. The drop in women TV news directors was small, and the percentage of women TV news directors stands at the second-highest level ever.
" ... the bigger picture remains unchanged. In the last 20 years, the minority population in the U.S. has risen 9.4 percent; but the minority workforce in TV news is up 2.4 percent, and the minority workforce in radio is actually half what it was two decades ago. Still, TV news diversity remains far ahead of newspaper."
The RTNDA study focused on local stations, not the networks. In a separate development at the network level, ABC News identified four people of color who have been named to senior producer positions since the National Association of Black Journalists met with ABC News President David Westin in 2008: Alvin Patrick, Sarah Amos, Jack Date and Catherine McKenzie.
Patrick, who is at Nightline, and McKenzie, of Good Morning America, are African American. Date works at This Week, and Amos at World News.
Westin announced this month he would step down. "As David mentioned, he has focused on the senior and executive producer positions because they have a strong impact on the editorial content of the programs," ABC spokeswoman Cathie Levine told Journal-isms.
A July 2008 study of network decision-makers by NABJ found that of the executive producers at ABC, six were white, two were Asian American and none was African American, Native American or Hispanic.
In the RTNDA study, survey coordinator Bob Papper noted that the minority population is projected to be at 35.3 percent in 2010, but the minority television workforce is at 20.2 percent and the minority radio workforce at 5 percent. He wrote:
"We end the decade with no gains whatsoever for minorities in TV news, and the percentage of minorities in radio news is down substantially.
"In TV, much of the drop in minority employment -- and Hispanics specifically -- came from a drop at Hispanic stations. Among non-Hispanic stations, minority employment slipped by just 0.3 percent to 19.3, down from last year's 19.6 percent.
"At non-Hispanic stations, the minority break down is:
** "10.3 percent African American (up from 9.8 percent)
** "5.7 percent Hispanic (down from 6.2 percent)
** "2.8 percent Asian American (down from 3.1 percent)
** "0.5 percent Native American (unchanged from a year ago)
"In radio, the percentage of minorities fell substantially. All groups dropped except Native American.
"The overall percentage of minority news directors in TV increased by almost two percent last year. It's still below the all-time high, but it's certainly among the highest percentages I've seen. Much of that was fueled by a jump in Asian American news directors.
"At non-Hispanic TV stations, the percentage of minority news directors rose from last year's 7 percent to 8.9 percent. That's just off the all time high of 9.1 percent two years ago. 3.2 percent were African American; 2.5 percent each for Hispanic and Asian American; and 0.7 percent Native American. That's about the same for African American and Native American and up for Hispanic and Asian American.
"The percentage of minority news directors in radio tripled from last year's paltry 2.2 percent to this year's 7 percent. All minority groups went up except Asian American, which slid slightly. Group-owned stations were less likely to have minority news directors than independent stations.
" ... At 2.7 percent last year, it was hard to imagine that minority general managers (at network affiliates that run local news) could become even more white, but they did. Now, under 2 percent of those GMs are minorities. The overall percentage of minority went up slightly because minorities at independent stations went up. Among the network affiliates, ABC and NBC stations were much higher than CBS or Fox — but all were low."
Papper is the Lawrence Stessin distinguished professor of journalism and chair of the Department of Journalism, Media Studies, and Public Relations at Hofstra University.
His survey was conducted "in the fourth quarter of 2009 among all 1,770 operating, non-satellite television stations and a random sample of 4,000 radio stations. Valid responses came from 1,355 television stations (76.6 percent)," he reported.
What Ron Walters Would Ask of Journalists
Remembering Dr. Ronald Walters, the go-to expert for those writing about black politics.
Late Professor's Colleagues Urge a Look at the Black Vote
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said she really got to know Ronald W. Walters when they worked on Jesse L. Jackson's 1984 Democratic presidential campaign. "Jesse Jackson would have you join hands in prayer" when there was a problem, "but Ron Walters figured it out," she told more than 700 people Sunday at a Howard University memorial service for Walters.
Then Waters mentioned a front-page story by Nia-Malika Henderson in Saturday's Washington Post that reported, "In the past week, party leaders launched a drive to stoke enthusiasm among black voters, dusting off the president's 2008 campaign logo, lingo and grass-roots strategy to get them to the polls in November." It would call upon black elected officials to help whip up black voter enthusiasm for the fall election.
That posed a dilemma, Waters said, because when she raised with party leaders the need to target African Americans' specific problems, "I was told that what was good for white America was good for black America."
And yet African Americans were hit by the economic downturn in ways exponentially harder than was white America.
"I'm looking for Ron's voice," Walters said. "If I don't hear from Ron, I'm not doing anything."
Walters, author, scholar, professor, activist and political scientist, died Sept. 10 at age 72 from lung cancer. In addition to politicians such as Waters, many black journalists wondered who, if anyone, could take Walters' place as the "go-to guy" on black politics.
"There is no replacement," Robert C. Smith, a professor of political science at San Francisco State University, told Journal-isms during the repast at Howard's Blackburn Center. But when asked what issue Walters would want journalists to follow, Smith had an answer: He pointed to Waters' remarks.
"Can you mobilize people to do for you when you have done very little for them?" Smith said. The issues are, he repeated, "The effort to mobilize the black vote and a party that has been unwilling to address the concerns of black people."
Smith was one of about 20 people chosen to speak at the Sunday service, where it was announced that Walters, most recently at the University of Maryland, had agreed to return to the Howard campus to teach in the fall semester.
Smith told the gathering that although Walters had produced books on politics from a black perspective, he had declined to write about himself. Therefore, Smith, who had worked closely with Walters and first met him 37 years ago, planned to do so.
"I've been trying to get him to do that for 20 years," Smith said of his friend. "A political biography. Using his biography to trace the last 30 years of black politics. It is the story of post-civil rights-era black politics in America."
One of the traits he most admired about his mentor, Smith told Journal-isms, was that "he knew how to help the reporters shape the story the way he wanted to. He knew how to give the appropriate media quote. Over the years, he developed that. That's a skill."
Walters was on both sides of the media line. He wrote political analyses for the Black Scholar and the old Black World/Negro Digest, and, later, weekly columns for the Washington Informer and the Richmond (Va.) Free Press that eventually were syndicated to other black newspapers through the National Newspaper Publishers Association News Service. And he wrote "for free," Denise Rolark Barnes, publisher of the Informer, told the crowd. "He believed in the black press."
Barnes added that when she contemplated seeking a doctorate, perhaps in theology or African American studies, Walters advised remaining in her field and studying the media. "This new media is going to need someone like you to reach the new generation," Barnes said Walters told her.
Along with Barnes, Joe Madison, the radio talk show host, represented the media during a three-hour program that featured speakers from various segments of Walters' life. "Ron Walters was everybody's political science professor," Madison said. "TV, radio, print. He was erudite and simplistic. He taught us how to read with a third eye and listen with a third ear."
Few knew Walters had been ill, Madison reminded the audience. Five days before he died, a Washington Post reporter called and those caring for Walters turned the reporter away. "He grabbed the phone and took the call and did the interview," Madison said.
Asked where reporters could find a substitute for Walters on political questions, Mack H. Jones, professor emeritus at Clark Atlanta University, recommended the Web site of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists, of which Jones was founding president and Walters a founding member.
Jackson, who delivered Walters' eulogy on Monday, said at the repast that the message of Walters' life for journalists is that "scholarship matters.
"We focus often on results. Results are the continuation," he told Journal-isms. The facts have to be organized and have a framework and a context. The big picture counts, he said.
Walters was "a scholar-activist," Jackson continued. Many people are one or the other. But "when you combine the two, you have a Martin Luther King," he said, "or a Ron Walters."

Johnson Publishing Co. Expects New Strategy in January
The new management team at Johnson Publishing Co. plans to "take a minute" to develop a new strategy before moving in its chosen direction at the beginning of the year.
UPDATE: Saturday, Sept. 11
An impassioned President Obama declared Friday that treating Muslims with respect was in the national interest as he responded to one of four questions asked by black journalists in a nearly 1 hour and 20-minute news conference.
"All men and women are created equal," Obama said to a question from Wendell Goler of Fox News, who asked about the controversy over the planned construction of an Islamic community center in Lower Manhattan. "If you could build a church on a site, if you can build a synagogue on a site, if you could build a Hindu temple on the site, you should be able to build a mosque on a site."
Obama said he understood the pain of the relatives of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, but added:
"We are not in a war against Islam. We are in a war against terrorist organizations.
"If we're going to successfully reduce the terrorist threat," he said, "we're going to need all the allies we can get." The terrorists are "a handful of a tiny minority who are engaging in horrific acts and have killed Muslims more than anybody else."
Muslims in America, he said, are "going to school with our kids. They're our neighbors. They're our friends. They're our coworkers. And when we start acting as if their religion is somehow offensive, what are we saying to them? I've got Muslims who are fighting in Afghanistan in the uniform of the United States armed services. They're out there putting their lives on the line for us. And we've got to make sure that we are crystal clear for our sakes and their sakes - they are Americans. And we honor their service. . . .
"We don't differentiate between them and us," he added. "It's just us."
Goler's question was the final one of the news conference and one of four by black journalists, a fact celebrated on the e-mail list of the National Association of Black Journalists.
"The White House sisterhood just hit the trifecta. I don't ever recall a time when there were that many of us in the room, let alone posing questions," wrote Sonya Ross, a Washington editor at the Associated Press and a former White House reporter. She wrote after Obama called on a third black woman, Helene Cooper of the New York Times.
"This is a very proud day."
(None was on Politico's list of "Five reporters POTUS should call on.")
Martha Joynt Kumar, a political science professor at Towson University in Maryland who has written books about the presidency and the media, told Journal-isms that calling on four black journalists out of 13 "is definitely high. I don't remember an instance where the percentage was that high."
She said it showed "some maturing of news organizations," because the journalists were called on because of the news organizations they worked for rather than their ethnicity.
The news conference opened with a black journalist chosen to ask the first question, as Obama, reading from a prepared list, chose Darlene Superville of the AP, the news organization that traditionally goes first.
Superville asked "about his comment in an interview earlier this week that the Democrats will not do very well in the fall midterm elections if they are a referendum on how the economy is doing," Peter Baker of the New York Times wrote in his live blog. Obama used the query "to pivot and continue his attack on Republican economic policies that he said led to the worst financial crisis of decades. 'For 19 months, what we have done is steadily work to avoid a depression, to take an economy that was contracting rapidly and make it grow again,' he says."
April D. Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks asked Obama about the "poverty agenda" of President Lyndon B. Johnson and Martin Luther King Jr., and about the lawsuits by farmers of color against the Agriculture Department. Black farmers from around the country have said they will park their tractors and travel to Washington this month to demand $1.2 billion that the government owes them for past discrimination in farm loans, as Deborah Barfield Berry reported for Gannett Newspapers.
The departments of Agriculture and Justice agreed to pay the farmers $1.2 billion, but Congress must approve legislation to fund the payments.
"It's important for Congress to fund the settlement. I will continue to make that a priority," Obama said.
On the question about the poverty agenda, the president restated his belief that "if we can grow the economy even faster and create more jobs, then everybody is swept up," adding, "That doesn't mean there aren't targeted things we can do." He reminded the journalists that he got his start in public life as a community organizer. He also noted his education initiatives.
From Ryan, Obama went to Cooper, a former State Department correspondent at the Times who referenced the president of Afghanistan in asking how Obama could "lecture Hamid Karzai on corruption" when many corrupt Afghans are on the U.S. payroll. She also asked about the Mideast peace talks.
"We're going to try to make sure that as part of helping President Karzai stand up a broadly accepted, legitimate government, that corruption is reduced," Obama said. "And we've made progress on some of those fronts."
He said that if the Palestinian and Israeli leaders are "going to be successful in bringing about what they now agree is the best course of action for their people, the only way they're going to succeed is if they're seeing the world through the other person's eyes," and said he had communicated that to the leaders of each side.
"In the end, Mr. Obama takes questions for more than 75 minutes, an unusually long marathon session for any president," Baker wrote. "It's almost as if to say to cranky reporters who often complain about how few news conferences he holds, Fine, you want a news conference? Bring it on."
Earlier Friday, Obama called in to the syndicated "Tom Joyner Morning Show," taking questions from Joyner and his radio sidekicks about his efforts to shore up the economy and African Americans' lack of excitement about the midterm elections.
Obama said that he is a longtime listener of the show and that "one of the things I mentioned to my team was we've got to make sure that we're not only talking to television, and especially in the African American community, Tom Joyner and black radio is what people listen to.
"If African-Americans aren't fired up right now, you better be fired up because you could end up in a situation where we could have more of the same from a Republican Congress that's not willing to move our infrastructure, that's not committed to investing in people and job training and not committed to investing in our education system. And we could end up slipping back into the same situation that we were in before this recession hit, only worse," Obama said.
Johnson Publishing Co. Expects New Strategy in January
The new management team at Johnson Publishing Co. plans to "take a minute" to develop a new strategy for the company, evaluating its personnel and the content of Ebony and Jet magazines before moving in its chosen direction at the beginning of the year, the company's new marketing director said on Wednesday.
"I need to pull together an overall strategy for all the pieces,"Rodrigo A. Sierra, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, told Journal-isms.
Sierra was the first person hired by Desiree Rogers, the business executive and former White House social secretary, when she became the new CEO last month. He spoke after the departure of four executives in recent weeks: Eric Easter, who left a week ago as as vice president - digital and entertainment; Wendy E. Parks, assistant director - corporate communications and PR; Lisa M. Butler, assistant vice president - licensing & consumer products; and Tanya Hines, senior vice president - integrated sales and marketing.
Sierra, 49, worked with Rogers at Peoples Gas in Chicago when she headed that company and was a board member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists in the early 1990s. A former radio reporter for Chicago's WGN and a manager with ABC Radio in New York, Sierra chaired the 1996 NAHJ convention in Chicago, where then-first lady Hillary Clinton spoke.
In a telephone interview, Sierra pledged that Jet and Ebony would be "recharged and reenergized," topical and relevant, and would provide journalists with "unique content that will help them think through local stories they are writing and developing." For example, he cited the October issue's twin pieces on "Is black leadership dead?" by social commentators Kevin Powelland Michael Eric Dyson. September's issue featured an interview with President Obama and a series on education, to be continued in partnership with NBC.
Writers will be paid, he said, responding to an observation that some had been asked to write for free. "The company has to survive, but you've also got to take care of your employees," he said. They "have to get paid and get the right benefits."
Asked how Rogers is operating as CEO, Sierra said she "pays attention to everything. She watches details very closely. She asks a lot of questions" and wants to create a workplace where "people do their absolute best work every time."
The new strategy for the company "may or may not" involve new people, he said. "A lot of people on the staff may or may not be in the right role." It might be necessary to bring in "a different kind of talent" or to contract out some work out, he added.
A key piece of the company's strategy will be its digital efforts, which he now supervises. Easter's arrival in 2007 signaled an effort to enter the digital arena in a serious way, but the four-member digital unit was consistently understaffed and underresourced.
"Digital has not been where it needed to be for the company," Sierra said. "I don't think that Johnson Publishing Co. has done a good enough job" with the digital efforts "to move the brand forward and monetize that side of the business." He said he also wanted to consider how deeply to become involved in social media.
Sierra also said he wanted the publications, which launched after World War II, to get "back to basics" yet remain relevant to new generations. He pointed to the September issue's perennial feature on campus queens at historically black colleges and universities, noting that this year the queens had to submit videos of themselves.
Atlanta's Creative Loafing Caught Napping on Diversity
The Atlanta alternative newspaper Creative Loafing, published in the city often called a mecca for the black middle class, ran a cover and story showing "8 Artists to Watch," with none of them African American.
Asked how she hoped to prevent a recurrence, she told Journal-isms:
"I think one of the most valuable lessons, for me personally, is that diversity must be reflected not just in a single issue. The 'Artists to Watch' issue as a whole was actually incredibly diverse. Diversity should be reflected story by story, page by page.
"As far as my role, with very few exceptions, my preference generally has been that our writers and editors - a diverse group - come up with suggestions for what lands in the paper. I like for that process [to] remain as organic as possible, and I think the process has served us well. We by and large do a great job reflecting the diverse community in which we live - this one, glaring incident aside. That said, do I need to further involve myself in such matters as the selection of subjects for '8 Artists to Watch' - and do I need to do a better job impressing upon the editors the fact that diversity is essential in those features? Definitely."
Creative Loafing claims a circulation of 112,000 and has an editorial staff of 30, including contributing writers, of which eight are minorities, Shalhoup said. "Also, two of the four staffers at the top of the editorial department's masthead are minorities."

It looks beautiful. But I am allergic to it, which normally won't happen to heavy metals.
These are very pretty earrings. The first pair I received were faulty but they were replaced within 24 hours without a quibble. The service at Blue Nile is absolutely excellent and I would recommend doing business with them. I intend to buy from them again in future.

So first off, I know there are a lot of reference to Goblin King so I apologize if you are disappointed by what I'm giving you :/ However, this RP was inspired by the SyFy show "Face Off". In the first episode of Season 4, the contestants must create a Goblin King with the physical appearance that represents the kingdom he reigns over, i.e. Arctic, Mountain, Forest...
I loved the idea, the actual designs, and some of the back story the contestants gave. So it inspired me to create this world that revolved around the seven kings.
Here are the solid details that I've established:
Map of Aldrina, the Goblin Country provided by "Face Off"
There are seven kings for each of the country's regions: Arctic, Desert, Forest, Jungle, Mountain, Swamp, and Volcano. Each king has a unique personality, lifestyle and history that I'll go into more in an OOC.
We will not be playing the kings. Short of a nation RP, which I'm not really into, I'm not liking anyway that we could pull off playing as them. The country is inhabited by Goblins and Men and we can play as either race. Each will have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages.
A dark magic is brewing in Forest and Jungle regions and threatens to overwhelm them and the entire country. However, the kings have never really worked together before and most are often at ends with at least one other king so our group must set out to attempt to unite the kingdoms against the coming danger.
Here are some alternatives that I popped around in my head in case you like these. I'm looking for input from those interested in joining.
The kings could be more like elementals than goblins so it could justify other races being brought into this world and living under the rule of the elementals.
I'm thinking we'd serve under one king, likely Forest, who realizes the threat. But, he's an interesting character that I'd like to have interaction with so maybe we could be like a guild that realizes the danger and knows the kings have to unite.
So this is my idea. Looking for interested players and thought about the details. Is the solid okay, or do you think one of the alternatives would be better? Hope to see some interest in this
Edit: I'm also aiming for this to be more High-Casual. At least a solid single paragraph, but the more the better, and good grammar/spelling. We have to be able to read and understand your posts. I'm not expecting Advanced level lengthy posts with details about a random flower that your character happened to notice. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Big dig leads to big jobs for local contractors (with video)
LORAIN — Local businesses and workers are helping build Lorain's giant new sewage conveyance tunnel that will run under the downtown between Broadway and the Black River.
The lead contractor building the 5,500-foot tunnel is Walsh-Super Excavator JV, a joint venture of firms based outside Ohio.
But when they work in Ohio they intend to hire local subcontractors to help, said Mark W. Hedrick, project manager for Walsh Construction.
"We definitely will be looking at local contractors who can perform work," he said. "That's always our goal."
Contracts remain unfinished so Hedrick declined to say exactly who will work on the project, which consists of a tunnel running north from 14th Street to a site across from Lorain City Hall.
However, trucks from at least two local companies, Terminal Ready-Mix Inc. and Haslage Trucking, already have been visiting the job site south of 14th Street and east of Broadway.
"We were fortunate enough to be able to supply the new tunnel coming up here," said Pete Falbo, co-owner of Terminal Ready-Mix Inc. "It's probably a year and a half's worth of work for us."
The company will continue running its concrete batching plant at 524 Colorado Ave. through the winter to supply concrete for the tunnel. Normally, concrete works slows down in the winter, but mixing and hauling it for the tunnel will keep six to eight guys on the job, Falbo said.
"It'll help us put some extra guys to work," Falbo said. "We feel fortunate that we got it."
The job also has sentimental value for the Falbo family, said Falbo and his nephew, John Falbo Jr., a third-generation builder with the company. Continued...
In 1952, Falbo Construction Co. patriarch Sam Falbo and his partners were the contractors who built the 625-foot-long, 30-inch diameter sanitary sewer tunnel under the Black River.
That pipeline connected the sanitary sewers of Lorain's west side to the new Black River Wastewater Treatment Plant on the east side of the river. It was built to run 30 feet under the bottom of the river.
"They said it was so shallow, you could hear the propellers of the freighters when they went by," Falbo said.
So far Haslage Trucking, of Lorain, has had five drivers and trucks hauling dirt away from the site and hauling stone in, said company President Charles Haslage.
"That will increase significantly as the job grows," Haslage said. He anticipated hiring four or five more drivers based on hauling out the volume of dirt to come out of the ground.
"It's still in the early stages, but it's a pretty significant job," Haslage said. "We're pretty excited about it."
They have been taking the dirt to Pearl Ave. LLC, a construction debris landfill operated by T.G. Eschtruth Inc., in South Lorain, Haslage said.
There are nine workers on the job who also are members of the Lorain Laborers Local 758, said Mark Scarberry, business manager for the union.
That number could grow to 40 workers once the crews reach the 180-foot depth to begin horizontal boring, Scarberry said. The horizontal digging will require more workers to get the dirt out and build the concrete pipe, he said.
"Once they get down and start tunneling, there's going to be a conveyor system" that needs to be built, operated and maintained, Scarberry said. Outdoor construction in Ohio tends slows down in winter, so having year-round work is another benefit of the dig, he said.
"It's going to be a very interesting project," Scarberry said. "The good thing about it is, we're going to have Lorain city residents and Lorain County residents employed on this project."
Lorain's administration and council prefer to have local businesses involved in public works projects, said Safety-Service Director R. Michael Fowler.
The jobs help the city because workers often live in Lorain, pay taxes to the city and spend money with local merchants, Fowler said. Based on payroll and guaranteed work, "I don't see how that would be bad for business," he said.
The project includes a $2.09 million contract for Electrical Corp. of America for electrical work needed for the tunnel.
The company is based in Raytown, Mo., but maintains an office in Lorain for specialized electrical work in northern Ohio. ECA has done jobs for area industrial clients including Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant and PolyOne Corp. in Avon Lake, Oberlin College and FirstEnergy, according to its website.

Another great North Face jacket! Only problem is the jacket fit a bit snug, closer to slimmer fit, and recommend that you purchase the size up.

Bought this for my son who attends college in New England near the water. Very windy and can be bitterly cold. He loves it! Lightweight and easy to move around in. He didn't want a bulky coat and this is perfect to keep out the wind and keep him warm with only a tshirt underneath.

City man popped doing 134 mph down I-293
Wagner said Daniel Pirok, 34, was inebriated when police began a chase near the Mall of New Hampshire about 2 a.m. Thursday that didn't end until Pirok was in Bedford. He was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance.
Wagner said police obtained a search warrant and found a loaded handgun, cocaine, a "large sum of money," an AK-47 rifle and an AR-15 rifle.
He said Pirok had a permit to carry the handgun. He said Pirok had two high-capacity clips for the rifles. The clips were filled with bullets, but not loaded into the weapons, he said.
Wagner said police obtained a warrant to search Pirok's home, where police found scales, plastic bags, a small amount of cocaine, 30 unidentified pills and $6,000 in cash.
Pirok was being held Thursday at Valley Street jail in Manchester.

BT Infinity Fibre Optic Broadband rollout
BT Broadband's superfast fibre optic broadband packages offer speeds of up to 38Mb, 76Mb and 100Mb at great value prices.
BT Broadband's (www.BT.com/Infinity) superfast fibre optic broadband packages offer speeds of up to 38Mb, 76Mb and 100Mb at great value prices.
At launch, BT Infinity (www.BT.com/Infinity) was available to just 500,000 homes and businesses. However, its up to 38Mb connection is already available to more than 40% of UK residences, and will be available to two-thirds of the population by 2014.
BT Infinity 2 is an up to 76Mb service offering equally impressive up to 19Mb upload speeds.
BT Infinity's Option 3 is an "ultrafast" service offering download speeds of up to 100Mb - matching the top speeds offered by Virgin Media's fastest commercial service, but with upload speeds that BT claims are 50% faster than their chief competitor.
BT's 100Mb connection is achieved via its fibre-to-the-premises network, where fibre optic cable is used to cover the entire distance from the local telephone exchange to a customer's house. The same technology is capable of delivering speeds of up to 300Mb.
Alternatives to BT Infinity
If you love speed but can't get BT Infinity in your area, Virgin Media (www.VirginMedia.com) offers a fibre optic alternative. Virgin Media's fastest package also delivers speeds up to 100Mb per second. Plus it is undertaking further upgrades to its network taking speeds up to 120Mb.
Sky (www.Sky.com) also launched two fibre packages in 2012 offering up to 38Mb and up to 76Mb broadband, however, as Sky is using BT's network to deliver its fibre broadband, if BT Infinity isn't available in your area, Sky fibre won't be either.
Why get fibre optic broadband
Fibre optic broadband delivers a faster and more reliable broadband connection than traditional copper wire ADSL connections, and suffers virtually no speed decline over distance.
Actual speeds received with a fibre connection are much closer to advertised speeds than those received via an ADSL connection. Ofcom speed tests find that BT Infinity regularly delivers speeds of at least 75-85% of the advertised speed.
BT Infinity availability
Following what BT claims is one of the fastest fibre broadband roll-outs in the world, BT Infinity will be available to 40% of UK households by 2012, rising to two-thirds of the UK population by 2014.
A further 200+ exchanges will be upgraded to BT Infinity by the end of 2013. You can see the if BT Infinity is coming to your area by visiting the fibre map on the BT website.
