New York Times Coverage of Venezuelan Election Was Poor
New York Times Coverage of Venezuelan Election Was Poor
By Michael McGehee | NYT eXaminer | October 8, 2012
Hugo Chávez won his third straight presidential election this past weekend, and as the New York Times correspondent William Neumann put it in his latest article, Chávez Wins New Term in Venezuela, Holding Off Surge by Opposition,: Though his margin of victory was much narrower than in past elections, he still won handily. By more than 10 percent, Chávez defeated center-right candidate for the Justice First party, Henrique Capriles.
The problem with Neumanns article, and his pre-election article Fears Persist Among Venezuelan Voters Ahead of Election is that he said nothing about Capriles campaign while providing considerable space to hearsay and accusations he, and Times editors, didnt back up with examples. What resulted was clear cases of anti-Chávez hysteria and poor journalism.
In Neumanns pre-election article he wrote that polls diverge widely, with some predicting a victory for Mr. Chávez and others showing a race that is too close to call, but he offers no examples of these too close to call polls. When the Center for Economic and Policy Research looked at available data they found that Capriles [had] a 5.7 percent probability of winning the election.
And just as Neumann doesnt provide any examples of those who have anxiety about a new electronic voting system that many Venezuelans fear might be used by the government to track those who vote against the president there are no examples provided of [m]any government workers whose names were made public after they signed a petition for an unsuccessful 2004 recall referendum to force Mr. Chávez out of office and subsequently lost their jobs. This claim has been circulating for nearly ten years, and if Neumann has proof it occurred he should certainly share it. That would be more newsworthy than the unfounded fears of unknown persons...

1. BTW were approaching the 35th anniversary of Carl Bernstein's great Rolling Stone piece...
After leaving The Washington Post in 1977, Carl Bernstein spent six months looking at the relationship of the CIA and the press during the Cold War years. His 25,000-word cover story, published in Rolling Stone on October 20, 1977, is reprinted below.
How Americas Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up
In 1953, Joseph Alsop, then one of Americas leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. He did not go because he was asked to do so by his syndicate. He did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA.
Alsop is one of more than 400 American journalists who in the past twenty‑five years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to documents on file at CIA headquarters. Some of these journalists relationships with the Agency were tacit; some were explicit. There was cooperation, accommodation and overlap. Journalists provided a full range of clandestine servicesfrom simple intelligence gathering to serving as go‑betweens with spies in Communist countries. Reporters shared their notebooks with the CIA. Editors shared their staffs. Some of the journalists were Pulitzer Prize winners, distinguished reporters who considered themselves ambassadors without‑portfolio for their country. Most were less exalted: foreign correspondents who found that their association with the Agency helped their work; stringers and freelancers who were as interested in the derring‑do of the spy business as in filing articles; and, the smallest category, full‑time CIA employees masquerading as journalists abroad. In many instances, CIA documents show, journalists were engaged to perform tasks for the CIA with the consent of the managements of Americas leading news organizations...
Also the Joseph Alsop that Carl refers to would have been 94 today.
CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein 10/20/77 Rolling Stone

Camped at Jetty Park Campground for two nights with 2 other camping buddies/families. Love the location in being just a short walk to the beach and a great fishing pier. The campground was great, clean and inviting. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend the campground to anyone trying to get close to the ocean!

You must have attempted various vision tests on the internet but this one will definitely leave you surprised. You can't help but say 'Oh my god it's real' after observing what actually happens.
Redditor TempTom posted a combination picture of Einstein and Marilyn Monroe on the famous microblogging site. Those who have normal vision can see Albert Einstein while near-sighted people will see Marilyn Monroe.
The photo also mentions the trick to see Marilyn if you can't see her. Check it out yourself:
Redditors reacted pretty amusingly to the photo.
[–]FlyingVhee said: "I dunno what you guys are talking about. I only saw Einstein and sexy Einstein"
While [–]Nintentard responded by saying, "I see Albert with my glasses on and Marilyn with them off. Cool!"
Some of the other responses are:
I tried that and I saw a weird combination of the two when I took off my glasses.
I see Marilyn with my glasses on and Marilyn with them off. Oops, beer goggles. Nevermind.
Without my glasses I see a sad Marilyn with a mustache.
I saw a blurry old guy, but with many pointy teeth instead of a moustache. I may or may not require mental help.
It's the opposite for me. I see Marilyn with my glasses on and Albert with them off. HahaBottom of Form
I see Marilyn Monroe with an Einstein 'stache. Not quite so attractive...
Weird stuff and funny reactions. Right? So what do you see in the photo, Marilyn or Einstein? Let us know with your comments.

When convicted killer Ronnie Joe Waddell is executed in Virginia's electric chair, he becomes what should be a routine postmortem case for Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta. But after Waddell's execution the murders continue, as everyone connected to him begins to die – including members of Scarpetta's staff.
Then, when crucial records disappear from her files, Scarpetta comes under fire for incompetence. Caught in a web of political intrigue and betrayed by those she trusted, Scarpetta must fight to free herself from murderous insinuations and threats to her own life.
To save her career, Scarpetta soon finds herself retracing Waddell's bloody footprints, following a trail that might lead to long-hidden secrets deep within the state government. Either the truth will set her free…or unleash upon her a punishment both cruel and unusual.

Travel to and from work and enjoy listening to stories as opposed to the radio all the time. I have a lot of music but prefer a story line
"Thoroughly enjoyable"
The twist in the plot keep up the momentum. The language flows easily and depicts a realistic picture. Very good
"Ultimately unsatisfying"
engaging, intriguing, disappointing
Some fascinating twists.

The main story wasn't as fascinating as the twists.
Yes. She is the voice of Scarpetta. I am not sure this book would be as good without her.
There should/could have been, but there wasn't.
Although the narrator was in excellent form, Kay Scarpetta, to me, is terrific in her work; but awfully dull, in her social life.
"Patricia Cornwell does it again"
All I can say is that this is book is an excellent read, and Lorelei King makes the whole story come alive to the point that its like having a movie in your head. Will definitely be looking for more.
"my review"
it took me a little while to get into the story line but overall I enjoyed it
"griping and thrilling"
a grate series
intresting and enjoyable
you get inviled with the people
the whole series are well worth it

Cafe Ubuntu
Special Reserve Program
Launched in 2006, the Special Reserve program highlights an exceptional, limited-release coffee every quarter. For over 30 Years Allegro Coffee has worked to sustain the long-term livelihood of small farmers and grower co-ops. To help support these conscientious co-ops, Allegro and Whole Foods Market provide a $10,000 donation to growers to complete much-needed community based projects in education, health care, agricultural programs and farm development. By working directly with the farmers the Special Reserve Program supports community programs that make a substantive difference in the lives of real people.
Please visit the Allegro Website from a complete listing of our past Special Reserve Coffees and Donation programs: Allegro Special Reserve
Café Ubuntu
This Quarter's Special Reserve Café UBUNTU comes from great coffee producing countries within the "Great Lakes" region of Africa. Succulent coffee cherries are picked and the beans are roasted to bring out a deep and syrupy cup. Allegro's $10,000 donation will be used by CTC International to further their mission to empower communities in Maai Mahiu, Kenya. CTC International is a non-profit organization working diligently to create solutions to needs in five specific areas: education, environment, economy, health and community. Each area directly impacts the community as a whole and each is interrelated to the success of one another.
Whole Foods Partnership with CTC International has already made a huge impact in this Kenyan Community… The program began with 10 jobs for mothers making the coffee life jackets while their disabled children were given their first opportunity to attend school last year. CTC now has created over 600 jobs in the Mai Mahui community!!!
Store Execution
Tasting and Education: By now your allocations should have arrived in store. If you haven't tasted this coffee yet, please take some time to sample with your entire team this weekend. Brew some up for your next Team Leader or Store Team meeting. Share the story of Café Ubuntu and the connection with LIFE and Comfort the Children. There are some pretty amazing videos on the CTC website that really tie the whole program together, please coordinate some time for your TMs to review: CTC International .
Merchandizing Expectations:
- Special Reserve Fixtures should be filled with Café UBUNTU for the entire promo period. Fixtures should be in high volume locations where Team members can "talk up". Tell this story!
- Café UBUNTU should be in every bulk coffee set with appropriate Bin Tag signage for the entire promo period.
- Café UBUNTU should be brewed at EVERY coffee bar and brew station for the entire promo period.
- Sample Daily!!! Remember Allegro provides every team a $25.00 sample credit every period and two free cases of sample cups per quarter. All you have to do is ask!
- Promo Period is 9/5 to 12/30, please reorder directly through allegro as needed.
Marketing: CTC and allegro have already begun creating a buzz on facebook and twitter. Work with your Marketing Teams to get the word out in your store.

USA Pro Challenge
Thanks to Heather Larrabee for this blog content.
We had a whirlwind 8-day tour of Colorado with the USA Pro Challenge and are happy to report the tour was a great success! Our participation in what's been called the "Tour de France of the US" generated goodwill throughout the state and in key towns where stores may eventually be developed, including Durango, Telluride and Beaver Creek/Vail.
Please scroll down for highlights of our adventure, and for heartfelt appreciations for the many, many incredible people who helped make this journey possible.

The Denver Post
"During 683 miles of racing over seven days and 29 hours of television coverage, the Rocky Mountains provided the backdrop for a grueling athletic event that is a perfect fit — and advertisement — for Colorado…Some in the sport believe the stage that started in Golden and ended in Boulder drew the largest crowd for a single day of pro cycling in U.S. History…"
"Last year we were selling a vision," Hunter said. "And now we have numbers to back it up: TV ratings, number of countries who broadcast the race (more than 160)."
Channel 9 News - NBC
"The caliber of athlete competing is unprecedented in this race. Athletes include six of the top 13 finishers from this year's Tour de France."
"The inaugural Pro Challenge resulted in an $83.5M economic impact to the State of Colorado. As a virtual postcard for the State, the race will be broadcast for more than 25 hours on NBC and NBC Sports, in addition to airing in 161 countries. Millions of people will watch this year's race online using iPhone, iPad and Android Apps and the brand new Radio Shack Tour Tracker."
The day before the event, we partnered with Ryan Amirault to send a custom email blast to our Colorado subscriber list, reaching approximately 30,000 people. The email featured links to interviews, our trail mix bike, and more!
In the weeks leading up to the event, we placed floor clings designed by Megan Hudson and paid for by the USA Pro Challenge in 18 Colorado locations, delivering 3.7 million impressions to our partners leading up to the race. We also partnered with UPC on a "photo bombing campaign" for fans to win a trail mix bike party for 50. Fans came into our stores to snap photos of themselves with the floor clings and posted them on the UPC channel which currently boasts over 75,000 followers!
We invited NPR-style media company, Something Independent, to go on the road with WFM. We underwrote a portion of content as Something Independent interviewed Colorado entrepreneurs at each stage of the race, including vendors with products sold at WFM:
- Interviews were conducted and recorded live from a shared 10 x 40 tent space with WFM and drew watchful crowds each day
- Many of the businesses interviewed sell products in WFM, including Honey Stinger, New Belgium, and new-to-market Boulder heroes, Scratch Labs
- Colorado Governor Hickenlooper was also featured!
- The WFM-relevant interviews produced unique content that speak to the quality standards WFM exacts, as well as the support that vendors receive from us—this kind of testimonial from a third party source is priceless!
- SI experimented with a cutting edge app for their Facebook page to house and showcase these interviews—the look, feel, and branding is impeccable and could lead the way for future WFM experimentation with social media applications
- Click to watch videos from Scratch Labs and Honey Stinger talking about their experience of and success with Whole Foods Market
- A unique theme emerged along the route as excitement and connection to WFM in future customers' backyards built when they visited our tent and interacted with us personally
- We'd advise a new strategy to activate at events like this to introduce our products and culture to communities months or even years before we arrive in new markets
- People couldn't believe the abundance of free snacks, swag, and reusable bags at our tent—throughout the tour we were told we had the healthiest and best tent in the vendor village
We empowered marketers in Basalt, Colorado Springs, Boulder, and Denver to invite 3-9 key vendors to activate in our tent with demos each day. Each vendor served up to 2,000 samples in a few short hours during their visit—this is the equivalent of 20 demos in our stores. By all accounts, this was a HUGE win for our vendor partners and for us.
- Providing access to small vendor partners who would otherwise not be able to afford presence at premiere events like this is one key way to create win-win partnerships with our suppliers
- Vendor presence drives additional theatre and unique offerings
- Vendor feedback was overwhelming and inspiring.
Because we were going to be far from stores and unable to restock snack product, we created an activation that didn't rely on food—our "Postcards from the Road" series. Using green screen technology and PhotoKey5 Pro software, we created a photo booth experience with custom, whimsical postcards from each town thanks to a design from Travis Harkness, FTC. Former WFM marketer, Andrew Lawrence, gave us a crash-course tutorial on how to use the software before we hit the road.
- Visitors to our tent were invited to take pictures with their families and friends
- We handed them a Free Honey Stinger coupon with Colorado WFM Facebook addresses on the back for reminders on where to find and tag their photos
- We saw a spike in user usage after each posting, especially in Aspen and Denver; you can see the posts were among the highest of the week on both channels when albums were loaded!
- This was a fun and free way to drive social media engagement and connection with our customers
- Additionally, Ryan Amirault posted a photo on our national Facebook page which received 591 likes in just hours
- WFM channels were also tagged by Something Independent as videos relevant to our brand were posted
- We're still counting but we captured approximately 3500 new email addresses from around the state last week!
At the Aspen stage we handed out 250 of the coupons created by David McCormick for the store opening and encouraged customers to come in before the Sunday expiration to receive $5 off of $50. We saw a spike in coupon redemption in the days following our visit to Aspen in the store:
- Adding to the buzz and sales from a strong opening, this was a spontaneous but great tactic that could be used in future openings/markets to invite customers in at key events AFTER the opening (great idea, Amy!)
- Many customers told us they hadn't been in yet and were "waiting for crowds to die down"--they told us the coupon would give them a good excuse to visit the store
- We passed out 250 coupons on Wednesday, 7/22—you can see the spike in redemptions Thursday – Sunday! In total, this coupon has seen a 17.7% redemption to date!
Kathy Dragon, Heather Kennedy, and the Whole Journeys team joined us in Aspen and Boulder for custom activations and secured a $4200 bike trip to Tuscany for a giveaway. They captured hundreds of key leads and email addresses for their business and were of wonderful support to our team! People couldn't wait to sign up to win!

Ocean Ave. - San Francisco
This Wednesday, August 29th, our 6th San Francisco store (Ocean Avenue) opens. We are super-excited and working hard to build our relationship with the community.
As one of the lead-ups, this past Friday, we hosted "Afternoon of Street Art," where students were partnered with our WFM chalk artists to create street art with the theme of "My Healthy Planet." The
OMI/Excelsior Beacon Center after school program benefitted. WFM donated $25 per participant to their after school healthy eating program.
Our own chalk artist, Marlon Yanes, entered into the event. He was interviewed by the Palo Alto Weekly, where he will be one of the featured artists. He also was invited to the huge event in San Diego in October where over 100,000 visitors will come through and check out the artists.

SOME years ago, executives at a Houston airport faced a troubling customer-relations issue. Passengers were lodging an inordinate number of complaints about the long waits at baggage claim. In response, the executives increased the number of baggage handlers working that shift. The plan worked: the average wait fell to eight minutes, well within industry benchmarks.

Rutter's Launches Rewards Card, Redesigns Web Site
Customers can earn cents-off savings on fuel and can win free gas for one year.
YORK, Pa. -- Rutter's Farm Stores is allowing its customers to lower their fuel costs with the introduction of its free Rutter's Rewards card.
With a tagline "See the Icon, Buy the Product, Earn the Reward!" Rutter's Rewards customers can earn cents off gasoline each time they purchase items bearing a special display icon at Rutter's convenience stores.
The convenience retailer gave as an example the daily purchase of a Rutter's breakfast sandwich and a cup of coffee for a week, which could earn a 10-cent per gallon discount.
"We've seen from the tremendous response to our gas giveaways and from rising gas prices in recent years that making fill-ups as affordable as possible is really important to our customers," Scott Hartman, president and CEO of Rutter's Farm Stores, said in a statement. "Rutter's Rewards will provide savings year-round whenever customers use their cards on items they would buy anyway. It's our way of thanking them for being loyal to Rutter's."
Most items will carry a 1-cent per gallon reward, and can be accumulated over multiple items. There is no limit to the dollar amount customers can earn, and rewards are good for 60 days from the date they are earned.
All grades of gasoline, plus diesel and kerosene, are eligible for redemption of rewards, the company stated.
In addition, Rutter's Rewards customers can win prizes when they register their cards. Every day for four weeks starting Sept. 25, one registered customer will win a $100 Rutter's gift card. And at the end of the four weeks, one registered customer will win free gas for one year, Rutter's stated.
Customers can sign up at any Rutter's store, and can register their cards online at RuttersRewards.com or by returning the application to any Rutter's store.
In other Rutter's news, the chain revamped its Web site -- www.rutters.com, with more features, social networking abilities and tools for its customers.
"You still have to visit one of our stores to get the true Rutter's experience or to eat one of our great sandwiches," Jeff Leedy, senior vice president of marketing and chief customer officer of Rutter's Farm Stores, said in a statement. "But the new-and-improved rutters.com will cement the bond that we have with our busy, mobile customers in between their store visits."
On its site, customers can download a free Rutter's iPhone application or Rutter's ringtone; connect to Rutter's profiles on Facebook and Twitter; sign up to receive the latest specials and promotions via text message; and view Rutter's gas pricing provided by GasBuddy.com, which Hartman expects will be a big draw.
The GasBuddy component was developed through a relationship with GasBuddy Retail Solutions Inc. For iPhone users, the free Rutter's application by GasBuddy locates the nearest Rutter's stores and store-observed gas prices, according to the company.
"The insights and vision of Rutter's leadership have helped us develop a Rutter's iPhone and other mobile phone applications that are clearly best of class in the convenience store industry," GasBuddy co-CEO Jason Toews said in a statement.
In addition, Rutters.com now boasts mini Web sites personalized for each Rutter's store, complete with GasBuddy-observed gas prices, store hours and features, promotions and job openings. Moreover, customers can review any store based on six criteria, providing feedback regarding their store experience at Rutter's, the company stated.
"We are excited to see how our customers react to these new technologies and look forward to their feedback as we continue to enhance this fun, full-featured set of web and mobile applications," Hartman said.

The ladies still have nine of their 20 matches remaining in the FA Women's Premier League South after returning to action last weekend.
They suffered a narrow 1-0 loss at high-flying Coventry City Ladies on Sunday, leaving them ninth of 11 in the table, six points clear of danger with only one team relegated to the South-East Combination.
Having endured a relegation scrap last season, Karen is determined to look up rather than down.
"We've only played twice competitively since December, once in the Women's FA Cup, once in the league, so it's been a tough couple of months for us," said Karen.
"We've almost a new team compared to the start of the season. We've lost a few players but gained the likes of Charlie Dolby and Lucia Leon while Kate O'Leary has moved up from the reserves and Natalie Grafton is back from injury.
"Charlie joined us from CK Basildon, a league below us, a quick, versatile player who did really well in her debut at Coventry. Lucia is also very talented.
"The girls have been performing well and we've been a little unlucky. We've played the top four and given a good account of ourselves in every match and showed we're more than capable of getting positive results against them on our day."
Sunday was a similar story at Coventry. After a goalless first half, the Sky Blues grabbed what turned out to be the winner through Marie Gauntlett three minutes into the second half.
Karen reported: "The first half was a battle for both teams, Coventry then scored early in the second half and we were superb in the final half-hour.
"We outplayed them, fought for everything and put them on the back foot, but we couldn't find a goal. Their centre-halves were outstanding and a lot of their success in the league is down to the lack of goals they are conceding."
Portsmouth are next up on Sunday with a 2pm kick-off at Ware FC.
"That will be tough," added Karen. "When we played them away we played at Fratton Park, the first game there in front of 650 fans, a great occasion for ladies football.
"We stepped up that day and did the job. We came away with a deserved victory and I'm sure they will want to come here and put that right this weekend.
"We then play Charlton in a midweek game (March 12) and follow that with West Ham at home on March 16. It's a tough run of games but we're ready for it.
"We want to stabilise this season, progress again and to finish comfortably in mid-table would represent that.
"Then it will be all about pushing on again next season."

Coral Reef Fisheries
We aim to combine modeling, field experiments, and observational studies for researching multi-species coral reef fisheries in Indonesia where products will lead to the development of assessment and management frameworks.
Tropical deep reef fisheries
Deep-slope demersal fisheries in Indonesia developed in the late 1970s to the 1980s and little data is available to manage stocks. Our work will aid in identifying methods for improving data collection to enable the establishment of harvest control rules this snapper-grouper fishery.
Ghana sardine FISHERIES
Pelagic sardine species form the backbone for coastal fisheries in Ghana, but catches have been declining rapidly over the last decade. We hope to provide management solutions by simulating population dynamics under seasonal and spatial closures in Ghana.
Coral reef restoration
There is growing interest in coral restoration as a tool to mitigate impacts from climate change and overfishing, but the social and ecological feasibility is unknown. Through a multidisciplinary lens, our research seeks to critically examine coral restoration using a case study in Indonesia.
Living Shorelines
This research, which is based in Martha's Vineyard, will allow managers to determine whether nature-based approaches are socially scalable or ecologically feasible for mitigating coastal erosion and eutrophication.
Integrated KELP Aquaculture
Incorporating cold-water seaweed crops such as kelp into existing Rhode Island shellfish farms requires minimal equipment and maintenance, and can benefit farmers by increasing and diversifying crop production in a sustainable way.

Don Imus doesn't have much use for the argument that radio is coming under the grip of a few powerful owners.
"There are 11,000 radio stations around the country," said Mr. Imus, the vinegary talk-show host who is based at WFAN-AM in New York. "I'm on 85 and Howard Stern is on 30. For there to be some kind of monolithic invasion, we'd have to be on thousands of stations."
But as yesterday's merger of Westinghouse Electric and Infinity Broadcasting demonstrates, numbers alone do not tell the whole story about power in radio. Consumer advocates and some Federal regulators said this deal -- the largest in the history of the medium -- would give one company unprecedented control over advertising revenue and programming in the nation's largest radio markets, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
In New York alone, Westinghouse would own six stations, with a stable of personalities that range from Charles Osgood, the genteel morning commentator and poet manque on WCBS, to Mr. Imus and Mr. Stern, whose ribald commentary have made him the most famous and controversial individual in radio.
Such diversity has long been a hallmark of the radio industry. But as the Federal Government has loosened restrictions on the ownership of stations, companies like Westinghouse and Infinity have assembled powerful station groups. With the consolidation, critics say, has come generic and homogeneous programming.Continue reading the main story
"I feel sorry for the listeners," said Robert Unmacht, the editor of the M Street Journal, a radio industry newsletter. "Finding a creative and interesting radio station will be harder because the pressure is on to make them very much alike."
Mel Karmazin, the president and chief executive of Infinity, said yesterday that the $3.7 billion deal would not have happened without the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which relaxed station ownership limits further and set off an acquisition frenzy. Together, Westinghouse and Infinity would have 83 stations in 16 markets and total advertising revenue of $1 billion.
By leveraging its combined power in local markets, he said, Westinghouse could help radio capture a greater share of the ad dollars from newspapers and television.
Robert J. Coen, of the McCann-Erickson advertising agency, whose forecasts of advertising spending are closely watched, predicted that radio would account for $12 billion of the $172 billion in total 1996 spending.
"We think this is the kind of deal that was intended when the telecom bill was passed," Mr. Karmazin said.
Others are not so sure. More dangerous than its national reach, they said, is its potential dominance in local markets. In the top 10 markets, Westinghouse and Infinity commanded 32 percent of the total 1995 radio ad revenue, or $814 million, according to James Duncan Jr., the editor of Duncan's Radio Market Guide, a trade publication.
In New York, where Westinghouse and Infinity own three FM and three AM stations, the companies accounted for 37.7 percent of the ad market. Among their holdings are the city's two major all-news stations, WCBS-AM and WINS-AM; its only sports talk station, WFAN-AM; two FM rock stations, WNEW-FM and WXRK-FM; and a smaller station for Korean listeners, WZRC-AM.
In Boston, where the companies own five FM stations and one AM station, they had 43.6 percent of the radio advertising market. In Philadelphia, where they own three FM stations and three AM stations, Mr. Duncan estimated, the two earned 47.3 percent of the ad dollars.
"Forty percent would be quite a dominant position in a single market," said James H. Quello, a commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission, "We would have to take a hard look at that."
Even radio executives who champion consolidation expressed some trepidation about competing against Westinghouse.
"While you hate to have one company with that many stations, consolidation will make for a better industry," said Jeff Smulyan, the chairman of Emmis Broadcasting, which owns stations that would compete against Westinghouse in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Consumer advocates said the Government should scrutinize the merger on antitrust grounds. "They clearly have excessive economic and political power in New York and Los Angeles," said Gene Kimmelman, the co-director of Consumers Union, a lobbying group in Washington.
The Justice Department is looking into another radio deal: the proposed acquisition of Citicasters Inc. by Jacor Communications. The deal would give those companies four FM and two AM stations in Cincinnati -- stations with more than 60 percent of Cincinnati's radio ad revenue. At issue is whether the Government should weigh Jacor's percentage of Cincinnati's total advertising market or just its radio ad market.
Mr. Karmazin and Michael H. Jordan, the chairman of Westinghouse, said they were confident their merger would not violate antitrust statutes. And several regulatory experts seemed to agree. But executives close to the companies acknowledged that the deal might have a tougher time clearing the F.C.C.
The agency still prohibits a company that owns a television station from owning more than one AM and one FM radio station in that market, though numerous exceptions have been made. Westinghouse and Infinity would exceed that limit in most of their markets. And a company can own no more than eight radio stations in a major market, and no more than five on either FM or AM band.
That means Westinghouse would have to divest itself of three FM stations in Dallas, where it would own nine FM's and one AM. The combined companies would also have to sell two stations in Chicago.
In passing the telecommunications act, Congress directed the F.C.C. to award liberal waivers to companies exceeding the cross-ownership rules. Westinghouse obtained several waivers after it acquired CBS Inc., because the network's television stations put it above the cross-ownership limit in a number of markets.
Noting that the holdings of the merged companies would greatly exceed the cross-ownership limits in markets like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, one executive close to Westinghouse said, "The tricky putt will be getting this past the F.C.C."
Less prone to Government regulation but more important to listeners is the growing homogeneity of radio programming. Mr. Unmacht noted that Infinity has contributed mightily to an industry trend in which stations have shifted their programming -- often in lockstep -- for fear of losing listeners.
Since 1994, for example, five of New York's FM stations switched their format to modern rock. Infinity's WXRK, one of the last holdouts with its classic rock format, joined the crowd earlier this year.
Mr. Unmacht also noted that Mr. Karmazin's emphasis on lean budgets and high profits might clash with Westinghouse, which has spent more on its all-news stations.
In particular, he said, WCBS-FM, a highly rated New York station that plays oldies and has an expensive roster of disk jockeys, might have a rocky ride under Mr. Karmazin.
Other industry experts attribute the sameness of radio programming to a variety of factors other than consolidation: the splintering of music into more narrow niches; the increased reliance of market research; new technology; and even simple human nature.
"Once you have something that's proven, you go with it," said Tom Zarecki, the director of marketing services at Radio Computing Services, a computer software company that caters to the radio industry. "Programming doesn't get worse with group owners, it gets better, because programming concepts get tested more."
Like many others in radio, Mr. Zarecki said he felt a Westinghouse-Infinity merger would improve the industry by making it more profitable, more professional, and putting it on a better footing with newspapers and broadcast television.
Still, the mere success of a company like Mr. Zarecki's speaks to the industry's changes. Radio Computing Services developed the Selector, a computer-software program for radio stations that automatically picks and plays a sequence of songs.
One of his best clients is Infinity, which uses the Selector at WXRK in New York to play a pre-set schedule of modern rock songs.Continue reading the main story

McAfee reveals its annual "12 Scams of Christmas" to educate the public on the most common online scams that criminals use during the festive season. Cybercriminals take advantage of consumers shopping on their tablets, smartphones and PCs and leverage scams to steal personal information, earn fast cash, and spread malicious software. This year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday present a huge opportunity for cybercriminals looking to take advantage of consumers with clever festive-themed scams.
Online retail revenues from the Christmas shopping rush this year are expected to reach a whopping £10.8billion (IMRG), driven in part by the rise in m-commerce – 12.4 per cent of total European online sales at Christmas will come via mobile[1], an increase of almost 70 per cent year-on-year. With more and more Britons using smartphones and tablets for Christmas shopping, consumers need to ensure that they are taking all precautions to protect the data saved on their devices.
This period last year McAfee recorded mobile threats for Android over the 900,000 mark in the lead up to Christmas, before dropping by nearly 50% to under 500,000 in the first few months of the year. This trend is set to continue this Christmas with the amount of mobile-specific threats likely to peak to even higher numbers. In addition the first week of December sees cybercriminals open 'the spam floodgates' luring online shoppers with promises of amazing deals, false delivery notifications, personalised season's greetings cards, credit card offers and more.
"As the UK gears up for the busiest online shopping days, it's important that consumers realise that the potential for identity theft and fraud increases when sharing personal information and bank details using smartphones, tablets and PCs that are under protected," said Samantha Swift, online security expert at McAfee. "Understanding the mindsets of cyber crooks and being aware of how they try to take advantage of consumers can help ensure that we use our devices the way they were intended – to enhance our lives, not jeopardise them."
To help consumers remain wary of greedy 'grinches' as they surf the web for holiday deals and seek out gifts for their loved ones, McAfee has identified this year's top "12 Scams of Christmas".
McAfee's 12 Scams of Christmas 2013
1 Not-So-Merry Mobile Apps—Official-looking software for Christmas shopping, including those that feature celebrity or company endorsements, could be malicious, designed to steal or send out your personal data. A recent report from McAfee identified a new family of mobile malware that allows a cybercriminal to get around the digital signature required to validate apps on Android devices.
2 Holiday Mobile SMS Scams—A widespread piece of malicious code known as FakeInstaller, tricks Android users into thinking it is a legitimate installer for an application and then quickly takes advantage of the unrestricted access to smartphones, sending SMS messages to premium rate numbers without the user's consent. No doubt Android handsets will be popular this Christmas, so consumers should ensure their gift also comes with appropriate security software.
3 Hot Holiday Gift Scams—Advertisements that offer deals on must-have items, such as these Playstation 4 and Xbox scams on Facebook, might be too good to be true. Clever crooks will post dangerous links and phony contests on social media sites to entice viewers to reveal personal information or download malware onto their devices.
4 Seasonal Travel Scams—Phony travel deal links and notifications are common, as are hackers waiting to steal your identity upon arrival. Around 1,000 holiday scams took place in Britain last year, costing holidaymakers more than £1.5million, according to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB).
5 Dangerous E-Seasons Greetings—Legitimate-looking e-cards wishing friends "Season's Greetings" can cause unsuspecting users to download "Merry Malware" such as a Trojan or other virus after clicking a link or opening an attachment.
6 Deceptive Online Games—Before your kids are glued to their newly downloaded games, be wary of the games' sources. Many sites offering full-version downloads of Grand Theft Auto, for example, are often fake and laden with malware, and integrated social media pages can expose gamers, too.
7 Shipping Notifications Shams—Phony shipping notifications can appear to be from a mailing service alerting you to an update on your shipment, when in reality, they are scams carrying malware and other harmful software designed to infect your computer or device. With an estimated 20,000 click-and-collect points across the UK this Christmas and increasingly flexible delivery options, consumers should be on guard against cyber crooks capitalising on delivery notification.
8 Bogus Gift Cards—An easy go-to gift for the holidays, gift cards can be promoted via deceptive ads, especially on Facebook, Twitter, or other social sites, that claim to offer exclusive deals on gift cards or packages of cards and can lead consumers to purchase phony ones online.
9 Holiday SMiShing—During the holidays, SMiShing is commonly seen in gift card messages, where scammers pose as banks or credit card companies asking you to confirm information for "security purposes".
10 Fake Charities—Donating to charities is common this time of year for many looking to help the less fortunate. However, cybercriminals capitalise on this generosity, especially during natural disaster events, and set up fake charity sites and pocket the donations – for example, this email scam made the fraudster behind it £214k.
11 Romance Scams—with more than 9 million Britons now using a number of dating sites, it can be difficult to know exactly who the person is behind the screen. Many messages sent from an online friend can include phishing scams, where the person accesses your personal information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details.
12 Phony E-Tailers—The convenience of online shopping does not go unnoticed by cyber scrooges. With so many people planning to shop online, scammers set up phony e-commerce sites to steal your money and personal data. In October this year, it was revealed that one in every five consumers looking for a bargain online were getting duped by phony retail sites.
McAfee's Tips for a Scam-Free Festive Season
* Review mobile apps carefully before downloading.
* Be aware! If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Purchase directly from the official retailer rather than from third parties online.
* Ensure that you're doing your research before sharing personal details with an organisation you're not familiar with. Banking and credit card companies should never ask you for personal information via text message.
* Before traveling, make sure that all of your software is up-to-date and run a virus scan. If you're asked for a username and password after clicking a link, try using a fake input on the first login attempt. The extra few seconds it takes to load confirms that the page is actually looking for valid username/password combinations; scam sites will let you right in.
If you do plan to search for deals online, use apps or open shopping related emails, make sure your entire household's devices have protection, such as McAfee LiveSafe, which protects all your PCs, Macs, tablets and smartphones. It also includes McAfee Mobile Security, to protect your smartphone or tablet from all types of malware. This app also guards you from the latest mobile threats and risky apps, offers enhanced privacy and backup features, location tracking and the SiteAdvisor technology to help you steer clear of dangers when searching on a mobile device.

Montgomery County Public Schools
December 9, 2009 by USA Post
Montgomery County Public Schools:The Montgomery County school system might be forced to increase class sizes and eliminate hundreds of teaching and staff positions if schools don't receive the minimum funding set by Maryland law next year, Superintendent Jerry D. Weast warned at the beginning of what is likely to be a bitter budget battle.
Weast presented the Board of Education with a $2.2 billion budget proposal Tuesday that would increase education spending by $25 million, about 1 percent, and not require any staff cuts.
Under the economic circumstances, the proposal is austere but not terribly painful. However, its foundation rests on whether cash-strapped state and county authorities waive the state's "maintenance of effort" law that sets a minimum level of education spending.
"The budget is bare bones, you know, but what we need to sustain the system," said school board President Patricia O'Neill (Bethesda-Chevy Chase). "Obviously we would all like to be in gravy time, but we're not."
Weast said he believes his funding is in jeopardy, and that it could have dire effects on the budget of the state's largest school system.
"I guess what I'm trying to tell you is that there's ice in the shipping lanes and there are a lot of icebergs," he told the board.
The county could be allowed to reduce education spending because of the economy, and the state could cut into the geographic cost of education index, a mechanism for funding more expensive counties. Other issues, such as negotiations with the teachers union, haven't been resolved, Weast said.
Attempting to illustrate what might happen if he lost a hypothetical $43 million in funding, Weast offered a list of 21 potential cuts that included the elimination of 534 positions.
The largest single item by far was increasing class sizes by an average of one student per class at each school level. He said this would reduce staffing by 240 classroom teacher positions and save $15.4 million. An additional $6 million cut would eliminate 30 positions in central administration. Transportation of students to optional regular education programs could also be hit, eliminating 65 positions and saving $4.9 million.
These cuts would come on top of about $200 million in cuts over the previous two years, Weast said. Those savings included county employees forgoing their cost-of-living salary increases, hiring freezes and the elimination of more than 120 central office positions.
"The list of potential cuts will trigger huge alarm in the community," O'Neill said. "But it has to be put out there now, because people need to be aware of the potential damages."
Weast said he hoped the seriousness of the potential cuts, which he said could hurt Montgomery's academic performance, would mobilize public support for education spending.
"I think it's very naive of anyone to believe that you can get something for nothing when it comes to a kid's education," Weast said. "I certainly believe the parents and citizens of this county will do everything they can do."
Kay Romero, president of the Montgomery County Council of PTAs, said the possibility of cuts could both shock and galvanize parents.
"This is gonna be a painful, painful process," she said. "We cut so much last year. There's only so much you can cut until you're not delivering services to children. . . . You want to see the budget fully funded, you've got to be there and put children's faces to the money. There's no more being on the sidelines."
Whether Weast will have to turn to his list of possible cuts is up to the politicians. When the county government asked the State Board of Education for a waiver of the education funding law this year, it was rejected. It remains unlikely that the board would grant a waiver to the county in the coming year without a worsening of economic conditions or a change in the political landscape.
"I couldn't imagine them granting a waiver," Romero said. "If they didn't grant one last year, why would they grant one this year? But you never know."
That leaves state and county lawmakers, some of whom have pushed for changes to the law to introduce greater flexibility in funding education during tough times.

"Excellent Service"
About: Chesterfield Royal Hospital / Dermatology Chesterfield Royal Hospital Dermatology S44 5BL
Posted by Lee Tagg (as ),
I arrived for my dermatology appointment and was seen half an hour early by the doctor. Excellent consultation and half an hour later i was seen by two nurses (Nicola and Judith) and had my mole removed.
I can't praise everyone enough, the doctor was friendly and thorough. Nicola performed the surgery and was superb, as was Judith who assisted her.
I did have to go back a couple of days later as part of the wound was not healing as it was hoped and having had an immediate call back from Nicola, i was back in the department within half an hour and she resolved the issue i had straight away. Nothing was too much trouble.
Nicola and Judith were friendly, chatty and a credit to there profession.
Obviously i'd rather not have another hospital visit but if i did, i'd be more than happy to be under the care of these individuals.
Keep up the good work.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Feel like getting to know the folks at Yahoo! a bit better? Check out their new corporate blog Yodel Anecdotal. Yahoo! already has a number of product blogs, but this one is intended as corporate umbrella blog, providing insights into Yahoo! and the people behind the company.
Nicki Dugan, the blog's editor, put it this way: "We want to share insights into our company, our people, our culture, and the things that occupy our cluttered minds. We'll cover emerging trends, provide some behind-the-scenes commentary, profile interesting Yahoos, spotlight our beloved users, reveal some of our quirks, tap into guest bloggers, sprinkle in some videos and photo essays, and generally think out loud (lucky you … you get to listen). You'll hear from interns to executives. Some days we'll be light and airy, others we'll get serious."
The blog team has included links to company Flickr images and all the other Yahoo! blogs, and the two articles posted so far are nice and colorful and include embedded videos, pictures and audio links. I don't think this will be the spot where you can find out how to get an instant number one ranking in Yahoo!'s search results, but it will help you to get to know Yahoo!'s people and their culture better. And it will also make you pretty envious of their very cool headquarters in Sunnyvale – check out the video that Nicki included in her post!

Young Japanese desire English
I am always amazed at quite how high the desire to learn English is in Japan, as despite at least 5 years in school ability levels are pretty atrocious on the whole, and even given Nova's demise there seems to be no fall-off in the popularity of study. This recent poll conducted by goo Research in conjuction with the Yomiuri Shimbun as part of their 13th Topi-Q Net survey into the matter of English showed youth keen to learn more.
Between the 21st and 25th of December 2007 549 young members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. The sex ratio was reported as 1:1 male to female, but there obviously was one odd person left over. The ages of the respondents ranged between teens to thirties, although the exact split is not reported. 40% of the sample were students in either secondary or tertiary education, 28% were full-time employees, and 12% homemakers, with the other 20% presumably made up of part-timers, NEETs, etc.
In Q1SQ, I thought it interesting that it was chance encounters with foreigners in the street or on holiday that was more of a reason to learn English when compared to other situations such as communicating better with foreign friends or dare I suggest looking for an exotic partner. I'll also throw Q2 back at my readers.
Which aspect of Japanese do you feel is the most difficult?
Research results
Q1: Do you think it would be good to have more English ability? (Sample size=549)
Yes (to SQ) 86% No 14%
Q1SQ: In what sorts of situations would you like to have more English ability? (Sample size=471, multiple answer)
When watching movies, videos, television 44% When on overseas travel 44% When using the internet 39% When studying for exams 36% When reading English newspapers, magazines, books 34% When foreigners stop me in the street 32% When it is necessary to use English at work 27% When studying overseas 7% Other 3%
Q2: Which aspects of English do you feel are difficult? (Sample size=549, multiple answer)
Speaking 78% Listening 61% Writing 40% Reading 29%
Q3: How satisfied were you (or are you) with your English education at middle and high school? (Sample size=549)
Satisfied 3% Satisfied to some extent 23% Dissatisfied to some extent 49% Dissatisfied 25%
Q4: If you were to learn English other than through classes at school, with which method would you want to learn? (Sample size=549, multiple answer)
All Male Female Language school, English conversation class 46% 42% 51% Using commercial text books 30% 31% 28% Television or radio lessons at home 24% 21% 26% Via the internet 24% 31% 16% Overseas English study course 17% 13% 21% Home tutor 5% 4% 5% Other 3% 3% 2% Don't plan to study outside of school 15% 14% 16%

Facebook launched Slingshot as a rival to the Snapchat app. However, some users of Instagram are reportedly getting notifications to try out a new image sharing service called Bolt, which in theory would be pretty identical to Snapchat and Slingshot.
This makes things slightly complicated as Facebook owns Instagram and since they only recently launched Slingshot, it wouldn't make sense to bring a similar offering this early. This either indicates that Facebook is having second thoughts about Slingshot or perhaps Bolt is just a beta project that the company is working on. But either way, it's quite clear that Facebook is taking this pretty seriously and Slingshot might not be the company's last attempt to take on Snapchat.
The screenshots describe Bolt as a "one-tap photo messaging" app, which is quite indicative of what the company has in mind. Facebook is yet to make a comment on this new revelation. What's your take on Bolt? Would you be interested in yet another instant photo sharing service?
