Since Apple is so good at keeping things hush-hush, the rest of us are left to play detective in order to figure out what and when the tight-lipped company will launch a new product. In addition to the release of Lion OS X, which is so close we can practically taste it, the other big Apple product on everyone's mind is the next iPhone.
It appears that Apple is currently looking to fill multiple sales positions in the area of "iPhone Specialist," and the company is looking for people to start on August 16. Does that hint at an earlier iPhone 5 release than we had expected?
We know Apple had placed an order with Pegatron Technology for 15 million new iPhones at the beginning of the month. We've also heard that Apple is planning to release a budget iPhone 4, called the iPhone 4S, in addition to the iPhone 5, in September. However, CNET UK discovered a handful of job postings on Reed, a UK employment site revealing that Apple is looking for iPhone Sales Specialists for "an exciting project" to start August 16 and work through October 29.
Apple's retail training is a five-day process, so it could be possible that we'd be seeing new iPhones on August 22 — just in time for back-to-school shopping. That being said, August 22nd and September are not very far apart from each other. So, it's possible that Apple is just looking to hire employees early to get them up to "Genius" status before the September launch.
Again, take this with a grain of salt. The early iPhone launch could just be wishful thinking, but so are the dreams we have of Sprint and T-Mobile iPhones.

We were walking home from the ice-cream place -- my younger daughter in the double stroller, my stepsons walking along beside her, and my older daughter in my husband's arms, about half a block back because she wanted to WALK! And then have UPPIES! And then WALK! And then have UPPIES!
We passed an interesting-looking end-table. "Free!" said a neatly-markered sign placed on top. My stepkids didn't skip a beat. "Do you want to try to put that in the stroller?" Max asked, as my husband slowly shook his head, knowing exactly what was happening.
The sidewalk bandit was striking again.
Before you ask, the answer is yes: I am paranoid about bedbugs. And I am probably kidding myself that a careful inspection, and a refusal to take home anything upholstered, will keep me safe. But I can't resist sidewalk finds!
The side table was definitely my best find. And I am still haunted by a set of brightly-colored plastic shelves that I missed because I was late picking Penny up from nursery school. But the amazing bouquet of peacock feathers sure came in handy for our last rainy-day craft project!
Of course, back in Brooklyn, it wasn't so catch-as-catch-can. We had regular "big garbage" pickup days and knew that if you drove around early on the right morning, you'd find all sorts of treasures ripe for the picking. (This was in the days before the Craigslist Free section and Freecycle, of course.) That's how I scored my vintage kitchen cabinet, an amazing dining-room table, and a stunning chest of drawers.
But I've done all right here, without even trying. Of course I still wish I had been just a touch later and picked up those colorful shelves. But there's always next time ...
Have you made some great sidewalk finds? Is this strictly an urban phenomenon? Does the word "free" fill you with joy?

0801TAXESAUDDress Code co-owner Renee Gerrell talks about business picking up during the statewide four-day sales tax holiday that began Thursday and ends Sunday.
A sign welcoming shoppers to Lakeshore Mall on Thursday proclaimed "Save it for your tank!"
Retailers say they are hoping customers won't let gloomy economic forecasts and high gas prices deter them from plunking down dollars for school supplies, clothing and other items during Georgia's four-day sales tax holiday that began Thursday.
Renee Gerrell of the Dress Code on Pearl Nix Parkway said that nearly one-third of her business last year came during the four-day holiday.
"That's how crazy it gets," she said. "... Everybody we are related to or (has) known us for more than a year gets recruited to come and help."
Customers say they appreciate the break they get at the cash register but, because of stiff economic times, are more aware of their purchases.
Cristy Carey of Flowery Branch, buying for a fourth-grader and a 10th-grader at North Georgia Christian School in Gainesville, is one such frugal parent.
"We're getting less stuff and washing more," she said.
The sales tax holiday stems from legislation that provides an exemption from state and local sales taxes for items popularly bought before the school year.
In Hall County, shoppers pay 7 cents on the dollar in state and local taxes.
The holiday ends Sunday. House Bill 948, passed this year, also provides an exemption Oct. 2-5 for certain energy and water-efficient products.
Carey said she is thankful for saving wherever possible.
"We have saved everything to buy now," she said.
Deborah Busic of Clarkesville said she appreciates the sales tax holiday, but wonders if some larger stores don't lower prices as much knowing that the tax exemption will bring in customers regardless.
"A lot of times you can just do better with a regular sale," she said.Stephanie Landman, with three of her five children in tow at the Finish Line at Lakeshore Mall, said she also enjoys saving money, but wouldn't necessarily chase down every sale during the weekend.
"As long as there are not a lot of crowds out, I would take advantage of it, basically," she said.
Misty Gay, manager of Shoe Show on Pearl Nix Parkway, said her store is extending hours and bringing in extra workers to prepare for a potentially big weekend.
To boost sales, the store is promoting a buy-one-pair, get-one-pair-half-off sale.
"We're just doing a little extra stuff to get people in here," Gay said.
The holiday is good for shoppers and retailers, she said.
"You've got people out there who try to work and can't make ends meet," Gay said. "I know here we run into single moms with three or four children, and that $20 (savings) at the end — it's kind of like getting a free shoe."
A close neighbor on Pearl Nix, Lancaster Music, is advertising a tax break for shoppers — even though its merchandise doesn't qualify for the exemption.
Brant Barron, sales manager at the store, said that's unfortunate for the buying public, especially as many of the items they carry are required for school music programs — from band books to instrument reeds.
"They're out shopping anyway," he said. "They might as well pull in here and purchase from us as well — do all the shopping for school in one day or one weekend."

The organisers of the Samoa 2019 Pacific Games have announced a change in venue for both the va'a canoeing and sailing competitions.
Both sports were due to go ahead in the villages of Mulinu'u and Vaiusu, but they will now take place in Mulifanua.
The new venue has hosted both va'a and sailing competitions before, during the 2007 South Pacific Games.
The change was made "after several obstacles were encountered" while planning for the use of both Vaiusu Bay and Mulinu'u peninsula.
"The Sports Committee in collaboration with the Samoa Outrigger Canoe Association believe that the use of Muifanua as a competition venue is very ideal for va'a as the bay provides flat water, with pristine conditions and great views of Samoa," the Games organisers said in a post on Facebook.
"The Samoa 2019 Pacific Games is excited to return va'a and sailing to Mulifanua, the home of the sport during the 2007 South Pacific Games, and expects to produce exciting competition while showcasing the beauty of Samoa."
The Games are set to go ahead from July 7 to 20, featuring around 4,000 athletes.

Unable to run patching schedule on windows 8.1 k1000 5.4
07/02/2014 2145 views
Here is a screen shot of what I'm trying to do. I've added a windows 8.1 machine to the patch schedule, but it doesn't show up at the bottom after attempting to run. Windows 8 patches are subscribed and the OS is enabled in subscription and the patch schedule. Am I doing something wrong here? Can Kace 5.4 patch windows 8.1? We had to manually install the agents because the provisioning doesn't work, but it shows up in inventory and appears to be reporting properly.

Royal News…
Prince Albert II of Monaco and Charlene Princess of Monaco Royal Wedding on Saturday, July 2, 2011.
Text By JENNY BARCHFIELD, Associated Press
MONACO — Monaco's Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene promised each other love and fidelity in an extravagant religious wedding Saturday attended by international celebrities and royalty, bringing new allure to the tiny principality known for its luxurious casinos and as stomping ground for the rich and famous.
The Catholic service followed an intimate civil ceremony Friday, which saw Charlene officially transformed from commoner into royalty. The marriage of the 53-year-old prince and the 33-year-old Charlene Wittstock, a one-time Olympic swimmer from South Africa who is now known as Princess Charlene, ended a three-decade wait for a new princess.
The last wedding of a ruling prince in Monaco was in 1956, when Hollywood star Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier III.
Saturday's ceremony was attended by guests including former James Bond actor Sir Roger Moore, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and bohemian designer Roberto Cavalli, of Italy. Thousands of Monegasque citizens cheered the proceedings while watching on large screens set up outside the palace, where both ceremonies were held.
Charlene swept along the red carpet leading into the palace on her father's arm. In her sumptuous boat neck gown by Giorgio Armani Prive, her hair pulled back in a swirling French twist and with only the lightest touch of makeup, she seemed to channel some of Grace's effortless elegance.

The Muse
516 N Beaman St, Knoxville, TN 37914
(865) 594-1494
Our family has been visiting The Muse (formerly Discovery Center) in Knoxville, Tennessee, for many years and it has never been more fun that it was this week. A bright and vibrant place crawling with campers made all the exhibits look even that much more fun. Musical notes and laughter filled the air.
This time we visited with neighborhood friends and that always makes a visit to a local venue more fun. About 20 percent of the inside space is dedicated to toddlers, but since we visited in the afternoon (naptime), our big kids enjoyed exploring the wavy funhouse mirrors and puppet theater areas.
When you visit The Muse, you'll immediately understand the connection to their namesake.
In Greek mythology, there were Muses who ruled over the arts and sciences and offered inspiration.
"There were nine Muses according to Hesiod, protecting a different art and being symbolised with a different item; Calliope (epic poetry – writing tablet), Clio (history – scroll), Euterpe (lyric poetry – aulos, a Greek flute), Thalia (comedy and pastoral poetry – comic mask), Melpomene (tragedy – tragic mask), Terpsichore (dance – lyre), Erato (love poetry – cithara, a Greek type of lyre), Polyhymnia (sacred poetry – veil), and Urania (astronomy – globe and compass). On the other hand, Varro mentions that only three Muses exist: Melete (practice), Mneme (memory) and Aoide (song)." www.GreekMythology.com
Our kids are old enough (ranging in ages 8 to 12) to explore on their own and since this hands-on museum is basically a big open room, the moms were able to sit and visit while still being able to monitor where everyone was in the play space. There's a giant rocket ship
complete with control panel, a book nook area, a floating scarf fan, a puppet theater, glow in the dark toys, wavy fun-house mirrors, LEGO car race tracks, microscopes, musical instruments, giant foam building blocks and a scrap materials art table.
Since there are several planetarium movies, this venue is worth a repeat visit. The younger your child is, the more you can take advantage of repeat visits to the play spaces while older children will benefit from the interesting staff-led programs and events.
Activities and exhibits prompted our kids ask engaging questions like how, why and what if. The question that rose in my mind was, why didn't we have a place like this when I was a kid?

Ah, the week of St. Patty's Day, and maybe the luck of the Irish will lead us to the pot o' gold coins.
But don't count on it. Not in Wisconsin, not in these times. Nonetheless, in honor of this hopeful holiday, when a saint evicted the snakes from the green island, we can go to that great American philosopher of Irish descent. Surely he can put the events of recent weeks in context.
We speak here of George Carlin, who left the earth too soon in 2008, but saw the future quite clearly, which may have hastened his departure. Thanks to the Internet, he will be forever with us, or at least until Big Brother yanks him away for being too subversive.
For now, you can find Carlin's 2005 skit, "The American Dream," quite easily. I can't, however, recommend it in this column, because it is indelicately laced with some of the "seven dirty words" that got him arrested at, appropriately, Milwaukee's Summerfest in 1972. So promise you won't go and find it, and if you do, I didn't send you there. My parish priest would frown upon that.
(CommonDreams, however, is happy to save you the hassle):
I'll clean things up here a bit, so you get the gist of the genius. It must be said that Carlin actually agreed with Gov. Scott Walker on education. As Carlin said, "Education sucks." But their views diverge from that point. To wit:
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
"The reason education sucks and will never, ever, ever be fixed is because the owners of this country don't want that. … I'm talking about the real owners, the big, wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. They got the politicians. The politicians are there to make you believe you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have owners. They own you."
In fact, said Carlin, they own everything — the best land, corporations, you name it. Well before the Citizens United decision of last year, Carlin was proclaiming the owners have "long since bought and paid for the Senate and Congress, the statehouse, the city halls. They have the judges in their back pockets." Media? "They own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear."
The owners spend billions every year lobbying to get what they want, said the Irishman who wore black, not green, adding: "You know what they want? They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking — well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. That doesn't help them. That's against their interest. They want obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly (bleep) jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears as soon as you come to collect it."
And now, said the comedian who didn't crack a smile throughout the whole routine, "They're coming for your Social Security money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know what, they'll get it. You know why? It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I ain't in the big club.
"They don't care about you at all, at all, at all, you know, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That's what the owners want. Call it the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."
That last part, the line about people being asleep, would have to be altered after the past few weeks in Wisconsin. The governor deserves credit for that. Of course, the owners want us to go back to sleep. Sit back, watch basketball, or go to the store and buy some stuff. It'll all get better. That's what we're told to believe.

Wild horses are what mark the vast expanses of the intact nature of Livno fields residing 10km away from the town of Livno, a group of about 200 wild animals, live in the rough nature who gallop far and wide in search for grass, salt and water. They have been roaming for almost 50 years under the open skies. Livno, is a traditional and interesting town, not so far over the Bosnian border, surrounded by fascinating scenery.
As history goes, small farmers in the last century (1970)were heading from the countryside to the cities to find jobs, many gave their horses back to nature, where they surprisingly well survived the harsh climate of hot summers and freezing winters.
Recently the town of Livno started a protection programme, for these noble animals enriching the impressive plains and mountains around Livno, making it an excellent tourist attraction.
The tour starts with a transfer to Borova Glava and a walk across the mountain plateau to the wild horses then a walk back to the original meeting point in Livno. Upon request there can be a lunch and tasting of the specialities of Herzegovina.

More About Colour
Pigmentary colours are by far the most important to cat breeders and here, too, there are more than one sort. Haemoglobin is a pigment, the respiratory pigment, and this is scarlet when oxygenated and purple when not. Haemoglobin is responsible for the colour of the tongue, tip of nose (in white, red and some tabby, tortoiseshell and piebald cats), the inside of ears (ditto) because it is the blood pigment. In cats haemoglobin does not contribute to the general surface colour because this is normally covered by hair. Colouring in hair is almost entirely dependent on the presence or absence of melanin pigment. Haemoglobin does play a part in the production of colour in the mammalian eye, but even this is mainly determined by intra-ocular melanin.
In cats there are two forms of melanin classified, namely, Eumelanin and Phaeomelanin. The former, which gives brown or black, is a word derived from the Greek (meaning good), while phaeomelanin is derived from the Greek word for dusky.
Melanins occur in the form of minute pigment granules and coat colour in cats largely depends upon the presence of pigment granules giving black or yellow or their absence giving white. Pigment granules are found in the outer layer and the centre of the hair, in the outer layer of the skin, in the iris and other parts of the eye, in the layer of the eye outside the retina and in the retinal cells themselves. They are also found in certain other tissues.
Pigment producing cells are called melanocytes and all those other than cells of the retina migrate in embryonic life from the neural crest. The neural crest itself is the embryonic material giving rise to a wide variety of tissues. The melanocytes of the retina arise from the embryonic optic cup. The process of melanocyte formation from the neural crest and their subsequent migration to the skin surface are complicated and hereditary factors can act upon any one or more than one of them thus affecting the production of pigment within a cell, causing death of the melanocytes, causing inability to produce pigment without also causing the death of the cell, and also delaying or preventing migration to the skin surface.
Coat colour in cats is also affected by the actual structure of the hair itself because defective hair formation may well affect pigmentation because pigment granules may be unable to enter the hair, or even if they can their distribution within it may be abnormal. Changes in the distribution of different kinds of hair in the agouti coat affects its colour because the proportion of hairs with yellow banding depends on the hair type -- no yellow bands being seen at all in guard hairs.
Eumelanin, the brown or black melanin, is an insoluble brown derived from tyrosine, one of the essential amino acids, and is always attached to protein. The tyrosine is apparently converted to dopa which is then oxidised to dopa quinone. After a number of further oxidative changes and polymerization it finally becomes melanin.
Unlike eumelanin, phaeomelanin is soluble in dilute alkali and is also very slightly flourescent under a Woods lamp. The two pigments differ genetically with the genes leading to dilution acting differently on each of them--the dilution gene on eumelanin produces blue or lilac while the dilution genes on phaeomelanin produces cream. An interesting fact is that one hair bulb can produce both eumelanin and phaeomelanin. In cats only two varieties of melanin have been classified although there is another, or possibly more than one other, pigment which is responsible for the production of human red hair, the fur of the red fox and the feathers of the Rhode Island fowl.

The journalism minor provides students skills and knowledge, including information gathering, writing, photography, video, web development, and media literacy, to enhance their careers and community. The 18-credit program is intended to help students effectively gather facts, critically evaluate them, and disseminate them clearly through a variety of media to their co-workers, employers, and fellow citizens. The minor emphasizes skills in online communication and applying journalistic practices to enhance civic engagement. The minor is not intended to provide students an education that would prepare them for a career in journalism – that is still something intended for majors – but the minor can help students intending to go into other careers communicate more effectively and become better informed citizens.
Declaring the Minor
PLEASE NOTE: To become a journalism minor, you must be declared into the minor. There are no pre-requisites, but students can only declare the minor by meeting or emailing the journalism adviser. Contact her by email.
All of the classes in the minor are separate from classes offered to majors, providing students a focused, rigorous experience to help them best apply journalism skills to their individual majors and careers. Most of the classes are taught in the summer by experienced full-time faculty – all with professional journalism experience - and some classes are taught online to provide students the most flexibility. The program is designed so five of the six courses can be completed in one summer with the final course being completed in a fall semester. Additionally, students could take the courses over several summers and one fall.
Course outline
1. JOUR 109: Introduction to Journalism (3 cr.). Introduces students to the world of journalism, including its history, theories, law, ethics, culture, practice, and state of the industry. Because this class is equivalent to JOUR 105, if minors taking this want to switch to become journalism majors, they still could and it would count toward the major. This class is typically taught on-campus summer pre-session.
2. JOUR 209 – Writing and Reporting (3 cr.). Teaches students how to gather information and write it in journalistic style, applying grammar, Associated Press style, news judgment, and fundamental story structures. The class is taught in School of Journalism labs of no more than 20 students per class by experienced adjuncts or full-time faculty, typically Summer 1 session.
3. JOUR 319 – Visual Journalism (3 cr.). Provides students a grounding in visual and online journalism, taught in a lab with a cap of 20 students. Students learn how to take effective news photos, shoot video, gather sound, edit visual materials and produce web content. This class is typically taught in conjunction with JOUR 209 Writing and Reporting during Summer 1 session.
4. JOUR 219 – Media Law and Ethics (3 cr.). Focuses on legal and ethical journalism issues that apply to non-majors, including copyright, libel, commercial speech, and privacy. Students leave with a basic competency to avoid violating law or media ethics codes. This class is typically taught online Summer 2 session.
5. JOUR 419 – Watchdog Journalism (3 cr.). Provides students a solid grounding in applying journalism to civic affairs, with an emphasis on bettering communities and improving civic life. Students learn how to investigate government (e.g., cover a city council meeting or local public affairs issue), how to acquire public records, and how to make the information relevant to their careers, personal life, and communities. This class is typically taught online Summer 2 session.
6. JOUR 479 - Professional Project (3 cr.). Teaches students how to create a website, take advantage of social media from a journalistic perspective, and upload a portfolio of work. This class tasks students to complete a final project integrating the skills they have learned in previous classes and tailoring it to their own interests and major field of interest. This class is typically taught fall semester in-person.

Yordano Ventura injury update: Royals righty won't need surgery
If you just heard a giant sigh of relief coming from somewhere in the Midwest, here's why: Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura's MRI came back clean, and he's expected to miss only one start.
That means no need to mention ol' Tommy John in the same breath with the fireballing 22-year-old.
MORE: Fantasy Source Injury Report
The news was made public by Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore, who was appearing on MLB Network on Tuesday afternoon.
Ventura's 100 mph fastballs have made him a budding star. He was removed from Monday night's loss to Houston with discomfort in his right elbow. The Royals were hopeful that his injury was not to a ligament because it was on the opposite side from where those injuries are typically felt.
He is 2-5 with a 3.45 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 10 starts.

The Obama administration is looking to close down the automotive aftermarket. In some lease agreements you've the proper to purchase the automotive for the residual value—these are often called lease-buy contracts. Older cars are often subject to completely different laws additionally, normally as a result of the legal guidelines had been changed and vehicles manufactured earlier than the 12 months of the change remain unaffected. Hmmm, Barb, contact a mortgage modification lawyer, not just anybody doing loan modifications.
To give the impression of recent modifications newest Honda Jazz also brought the concept of the west, it is seen in using carbon fiber on the door trim, dashboard, and the sky – the sky automobile. Idk if it's going to work for everybody or if its simply me. No matter what car I put in my home storage(Michael, Franklin, Trevor), it duplicates and spawns in the impound, and the original(perhaps duplicate)is within the storage!
The solely actual items of the automotive that gave us any issues were the Shelby Cobra facet-pipes add-ons that had been previously hooked up to the automotive. Rockstar could positively have unfold the outlets across the map, so you come across unique, for example, sun shades ONLY in a single hard-to-discover, UNLABELLED-on-the-map store. Though the '10 handles much better than the '09 automobile, we feel that tightening up the handling with the Ford Racing Handling Pack (seen on the outdated Shelby GT) would make this already stellar automobile that significantly better. I would very much like to thank Total Car Diagnostics for allowing me to review their products !
The closet I could have gotten so far is the PSE when it's installed and the explanation I am doing this is not to lift the physical efficiency of the automotive but to improve its aural one instead. With most leases, if the amount the automotive is offered for is less than the quantity of the cars price when the lease is up, it's a must to pay the distinction. I wouldn't be driving this round city, so I'd undoubtedly say that this can be a show worthy automobile.

Suarez, Javier and Sussman, Oren (2004) Endogenous Cycles in a Stiglitz-Weiss Economy. In: Bhattacharya, Sudipto, Boot, Arnoud and Thakor, Anjan V., (eds.) Credit, Intermediation, and the Macroeconomy: Readings and Perspectives in Modern Financial Theory. Oxford University Press, pp. 833-855. ISBN 978-0199243068Full text not available from this repository.
The literature on financial imperfections and business cycles has focused onpropagation mechanisms. In this paper we model a purereversion mechanism, such that the economy may converge to a two-period equilibrium cycle. This mechanism confirms that financial imperfections may have a dramatic amplification effect. Unlike in some related models, contracts are complete. Indexation is not assumed away. The welfare properties of a possible stabilizing policy are analyzed. The model itself is a dynamic extension of the well-known Stiglitz-Weiss model of lending under moral hazard. Although stylized the model still captures some important features of credit cycles.

Grade compression is potentially far more important a problem than grade inflation
Posted by dkuehn at 3:10 AM
This is the subject of my next summer fellowship application (a much shorter application process). Less lucrative, more likely to get it, and potentially more interesting and with more direct applications to my Sloan work and my dissertation than the other fellowship I applied to.

Graede compression at what level, Daniel? The secondary school leve, or the undergraduate level, or the postgraduate level?ReplyDelete
The question I'm curious about is why people who use grade information, such as employers and grad schools, don't routinely compensate for grade inflation by using class rank instead of grade. Is the information not readily available?ReplyDelete
Or do they already do that?

New York Man Suits
• Superfine microfiber material
• Modern woven design

• Great for formal and casual occasions!
• Also available in skinny (2.75") tie design
Matching the right tie fashion advice.
Red Ties
The bright red necktie is commonly referred to as the "power tie". Red is an attention grabbing color that is commonly associated with passion, power, love, and authority. Because it is such a "loud" and attention grabbing color, I suggest you use it carefully on your selection of neckties. Unless you are looking for a bold look that makes you center of attention, stay away from bright red neckties. Red ties look nice with navy, gray, and charcoal suits. If you are looking for a bright and lively tie color, but don't want the bold look of the bright red tie, then your best bet are red shades that contain a larger potion of brown – which brings me to the next tie color: "Burgundy"
Black Ties
That black is a formal color shouldn't be news to anyone. For a reason we speak of Black Tie dress code. Black ties are common for formal evening functions when paired with white shirts, black or charcoal suits, and black dress shoes. Looking to wear the black necktie in a more casual setting? Wear a solid black skinny tie (tied with a loose Four in Hand knot), a white dress shirt with top button left undone, a pair of designer jeans, a trendy tweed sports coat, and a pair of sporty loafers.
Burgundy Ties
Ties in burgundy and other dark reds (cherry, maroon, crimson, etc.) are popular in the world of neckties. They are timelessly elegant and suit any season. Burgundy is a color that pairs the power of red with the maturity of brown – thus making an excellent choice for business. There is a reason why cherry and burgundy red ties are popular in politics!
Navy Ties
Blue is men's favorite color. It connotes a calm and soothing nature, elegance, and maturity. It is not surprising that the navy blue necktie is the most commonly sold tie color. It is timelessly elegant and can be worn in spring as well as winter. Fashion tip: Pair the blue tie with a contrasting suit and shirt to create a more interesting look. A solid navy blue tie would look great when paired with classic white shirt and a light gray pin-striped suit.
Pink Ties
Pink is a color that pairs the passion of red with the purity of white. It is therefore often called the "romantic color". In the world of neckties, pink is commonly spotted on designers' spring and summer collections.
Fashion tip: wear a solid pink tie in combination with a light rose colored dress shirt, navy pin-striped suit, and light rose colored pocket square – the perfect look for a date at a fancy restaurant.
White Ties
White is a "pure" color. While common on a man's dress shirt, it is typically only used as an accent color on the necktie (in form of white stripes, checks, polka dots, etc). Solid white ties are rare in business but are great for a casual/trendy look.
Fashion tip: Wear a solid white skinny tie with a black dress shirt, washed designer jeans, and a knitted cardigan sweater.

Welcome to NYC-DSA!
New York City Democratic Socialists is the NYC local of Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist organization in the United States with about 55,000 members (as of April 2019). NYC-DSA is run by its 5,500+ members and activists who are working together to build a democratic socialist organization in the five boroughs.
We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning, equitable distribution, feminism, racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships.
We are socialists because we are opposed to an economy organized for private profit that produces gross inequalities of wealth and power, discrimination based on race and sex, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo.
We are socialists because we want to work together to develop a concrete strategy for achieving that vision, for achieving a transition to democratic socialism in America. We believe that such a strategy must acknowledge the class structure of American society and that this class structure means that there is a basic conflict of interest between those sectors with enormous economic power and the vast majority of the population. And we believe that only democratic movements and socialist parties can lead the way to a better world.
If you want to build a better world with us, join us!

Cod hit by North Sea warming
Posted: 28 November 2000
Global warming has been blamed, with overfishing, for the disastrous decline of cod stocks in the North Sea.
Cod catches have fallen from 200,000-300,000 tons a year in the 1980s to a 1990-98 average of 100,000 tons. Over the same period, North Sea surface temperatures have risen, probably as a result of global warming. Scientists at the UK Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) have shown that the temperature of the North Sea in spring affects the survival of young cod during their first year of life.
Over-exploitation of cod is another key factor. A high percentage of the fish caught are under four years old, which means that few survive to reach sexual maturity. A 40 to 60 per cent reduction in catches is now being recommended.
EU limits in 1999 were set at 80,000 tons for British fishermen, and a general outcry resulted. Yet only 50,000 tons were landed in the end, and only 60 per cent of the lower 2000 quota is likely to be landed. Some fishermen also blame the depleted cod stocks on the amount of seismic activity undertaken in the search for oil and gravel at sea.
See article by CEFAS: What's happening to North Sea Cod?

Industrial Accidents
Representing Industrial Accident Victims in Buffalo, New York
What are the common causes of industrial accidents?
Industrial accident injuries in the Buffalo Niagara Region can be caused by a variety of factors. These accidents usually involve malfunctioning equipment, gas explosions, chemical spills, and electrocution.
What are some of the most common industrial accident injuries?
Due to the amount of dangerous mechanical equipment and materials workers are exposed to on the job, it is not unusual for industrial accidents to cause broken bones, amputations, severe lacerations, brain injuries, spine injuries, serious burns, and partial amputations.
Who can be held liable in industrial accident lawsuits?
This will depend on how and why the accident took place. If equipment malfunctioned, the manufacturer or maintenance company could be held liable. According to the specifics of the case, other parties could also be held liable.
Does workers compensation cover injuries caused by industrial accidents?
It will cover at least a percentage of the damages unless the victim was injured while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, was breaking the law or was violating a company policy when the injury took place.
What damages can a victim recover in an industrial accident lawsuit?
If another party, other than the worker's employer, was found to be negligent, the victim can sue for current and future medical bills, current and future lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an industrial accident in the Buffalo Niagara Region, we invite you to contact the industrial accident lawyers of Feroleto Law today. We have decades of experience representing clients in cases like this and understand the legal process which ensures that you are fairly compensated for the damages that you have incurred.

Theodoric, King of the Visigoths, was among those forces who gathered and died at the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields. Illustration by Angus McBride, copyright Angus McBride, all rights reserved. Image provided here as fair use for educational purposes.
In the summer of 451 A.D., Aetius (credited by historians for helping to break the Huns' siege of Orleans) had assembled a military force to combat Attila's further advance. Since the Roman army of the 5th century was not what it had once been, Aetius needed outside help.
Edward Gibbon describes a successful effort to recruit Theodoric, King of the Visigoths (a former Roman enemy), who had an independent kingdom in Aquitaine (with his capital located in the southern French town of Toulouse):
Theodoric yielded to the evidence of truth, adopted the measure at once the most prudent and the most honorable, and declared that as the faithful ally of Aetius and the Romans he was ready to expose his life and kingdom for the common safety of Gaul.
Here you stand after conquering mighty nations and subduing the world...It is a right of nature to glut the soul with vengeance. Let us then attack the foe eagerly, for they are ever the bolder who make the attack.
Both leaders were fighting with international forces. (Edward Gibbon notes that "nations from the Volga to the Atlantic were assembled on the plain of Châlons.")
Among others, Aetius commanded Alans, Burgundians, Franks, and Saxons. In light of the makeup of his own army, Attila's comments about the enemy, as reported by Jordanes, seem out of place:
Despise this union of discordant races. To defend oneself by alliance is proof of cowardice...Attack the Alans, smite the Visigoths. Seek swift victory in that spot where the battle rages, for when the sinews are cut the limbs soon relax, nor can a body stand when you have taken away the bones. Let your courage rise and your own fury burst forth.
Fury, it is said, did indeed burst forth.
Hand to hand they clashed in battle, and the fight grew fierce, confused, monstrous, unrelenting---a fight whose like no ancient time has ever recorded...For if we may believe our elders a brook flowing between low banks through the plain was greatly increased by blood from the wounds of the slain. Those whose wounds drove them to slake their parching thirst drank water mingled with gore. In their wretched plight they were forced to drink what they thought was the blood they had poured out from their own wounds.
Theodoric was killed on the battlefield. Attila, surrounded and concerned he might be captured, ordered that his own funeral pyre be prepared. According to Jordanes:
He was determined to cast himself into the flames, that none might have the joy of wounding him and that the lord of so many races might not fall into the hands of his foes.
But Attila, under siege, walked away from defeat when Aetius decided not to take advantage of his upper-hand position.
Perhaps wishing to maintain the balance of power within the remnants of the western empire, Aetius convinced Theodoric's son (Torismond) that he should attend to matters at home. When Torismond and his Visigoths withdrew, the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains was effectively over.
Attila was still alive, unlike so many others.
It is believed the battle lasted most of the day. Historians think Jordanes' estimates of casualties are high. If he was correct, however, hundreds of thousands died:
[O]wing to dissensions between the Romans and Goths he [Attila] was allowed to escape to his home land, and in this most famous war of the bravest tribes, 160,000 men are said to have been slain on both sides.

Life, like the seasons, change.
No matter what part of the world you live in or are visiting, seasons change. Sometimes it's subtle. Many times it is quite dramatic. But all of the time, it is transitional and moving. Then along come the days where you can plant a stake in it. It's firm. It's unchanging. It's often-times significant.
Tuesday, 2 February 2010, was one of those "stake it and mark it" days. Here I am, enjoying a wonderful business conference with my BioGuard compadres (all 800 plus) from around the US. We're enjoying the beautiful Moon Palace Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Food is great. Drink is great. People are great. Speakers and workshops are "great." The evening's festivities are again, great.
I leave the party, return to my room to check email and messages. A smile and tear cross my face simultaneously. Why? Well now I'm going to vastly diminish the word "great."
As I'm looking at my Facebook page, a message comes through from Diego, a friend and next door neighbor of my daughter and son in law. Just some simple words, "Congrats mr. Parts ur a grand dad!" A couple of thousand miles away from my daughter and her husband, my wife Barbara and sons, a baby boy has been born at about 9:30 pm, Eastern Time. His name is Caleb Michael (a powerful and wonderful name that I'll most likely blog about later). His daddy made it back home just in time from his duties in the US Army in Iraq. Caleb is healthy (over the phone I can hear a healthy set of lungs!). I am a Grandfather. I have been deeply blessed by a merciful and loving God who personally cares for me and my family.
This is what greatness is. The resort; the food and drink; even my fellow conventioneers all pale in contrast to the greatness of a loving God and His act of creation, mercy and love. I am humbled to be able to live at this time, for His purposes.
What does being a Grandfather mean? Don't know yet! It hasn't even been 24 hours.
In the meanwhile, I offer this prayer and blessing to this little life, my grandson Caleb, created in the image of his Father in Heaven:
"May the LORD bless you and keep you. May the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the LORD lift up His countenance upon you and give you His peace."
I'll be home tomorrow.

The new GPDO - Permitted Changes of Use under Part 3
NOTE: For completely up-to-date and fully comprehensive coverage of this subject, we would strongly recommend readers to obtain a copy of the author's new book - "A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PERMITTED CHANGES OF USE" published by Bath Publishing in October 2015. You can order your copy by clicking on the link on the left-hand sidebar of this page.
I thought it might be helpful to share with you a table that I have prepared for my forthcoming book on Permitted Changes of Use. This lists each of the classes of development permitted by Part 3 in the order in which they now appear in Part 3 of the Second Schedule. The 2015 Order comes into effect on 15 April.
Several of the new permitted development rights reflect the changes made to the Use Classes Order, whereby Betting Offices and Pay Day Loan Shops have been removed from Use Class A2, so that each of them is now a sui generis use. Others represent a significant expansion of the permitted development that is now allowed by the GPDO, including changes of use from A1 to A2, A1 to A3 and A2 to A3, among several others.
In the first column, an asterisk in front of the class letter indicates that a prior approval application is required.
The second column shows the corresponding class of development that was permitted by the 1995 Order, from which it will be seen that Part 3 has grown considerably. The classes shown in brackets - (A), (C) and (CA) - indicate that those classes of permitted development in the 1995 Order did not exactly correspond with the provisions in the 2015 Order.
This table is necessarily a very abbreviated summary of Part 3, and does not reflect the numerous exclusions, restrictions and conditions attaching to the various classes of permitted development. For example, it does not indicate that certain classes of permitted development apply only where there is a ground floor display window. The individual classes of development are fully explained in the text of the book, but I am afraid you will have to save up your pennies to buy it when it is published this summer, as I don't propose to publish all the contents for free in this blog!
In the meantime, I hope you may find this table helpful.

Good grief.ReplyDelete
Now what was that the Government said in 2010 about simplifying the planning system and making it more accessible to lay people, with less work for planning lawyers and consultants?
Oh well.
Never Mind.
I entirely sympathise with Andy Ward's view. As recently as two years ago (i.e. before the end of May 2013), the changes of use permitted by Class 3 could have been adequately summarised on one side of a sheet of A4. But as a result of the changes to the GPDO made in 2013, 2014 and 2015, it is now going to require no fewer than five detailed chapters in my forthcoming book on Permitted Changes of Use to explain the provisions of Part 3 alone (one of which is devoted solely to prior approval applications).ReplyDelete
Several more chapters will deal with Parts 4 and 5, in addition to an introductory chapter on the operation of development orders, the exclusion of permitted development, etc., etc.
"Simplification" indeed!!

After blogging for over a year now in the personal finance community, I have certainly seen my fair share of debt journey stories. So, I was a little surprised when I was asked to write about my debt payoff story. I certainly do not have the typical story that I have read, and yet, I definitely relate to debt bloggers.
As I have shared on my own blog, for almost a decade, I embraced lifestyle inflation while I tried to keep up with the Joneses. At the time, I rationalized that I did not have a spending problem because I always paid off my credit card debt. I may not have paid it off in full every month; however, I paid it off over time.
Working for an investment bank, I had a great salary; however, my bonus always comprised a large portion of my compensation, and I typically received this bonus in February. Therefore, I had a bad habit of building up my credit card balances between November and January in anticipation of this bonus.
For years, I ramped up my credit card spending at the end of the year, sometimes as high as $15,000 only to pay off my cards in full every February. I never felt as though I had a debt problem, though, because I always paid off my credit cards once the bonus check cleared.
Then the financial crisis struck in 2008, and the bonus structure changed completely. Rather than getting paid in cash in February, we received some cash and mostly stock options in the company. This new pay structure severely cramped my extravagant year-end spending habits.
Fortunately for me, that first year, I didn't have a problem paying off my cards. However, I knew many co-workers who apparently spent the same way I did, and could not fully pay off their debts with their February cash. This was the beginning of a year-long wake up call for me. Not only did I want to avoid circumstances that my co-workers found themselves in, but I also realized that I wanted more out of life than just wracking up debt and paying it down every year.
I started to think about all of the money I wasted over the years thinking that I didn't have a problem because I could pay off my debts. Yes, I paid off my debts. However, I missed years of opportunity of building more savings. Looking back, I probably wasted close to $50,000 on credit card spending. I became a slave, like many others, to a bonus structure only to realize that it was an unsustainable model.
It amazes me to think that during all of this, I never saw myself as having a problem. I actually thought I was responsible because I didn't rack up debt all year long. I just spent toward the end of the year in anticipation of the bonus. It's amazing what you can rationalize when you have a spending problem.
Five years have now passed since I stopped the insanity of my year-end debt spending, and there are a number of behaviors I have changed to avoid this trap. The biggest key to my success, though, was finding a purpose for my money. Before I gave my money purpose, it was easy to spend it and not miss it. Now I know that I would like it to support my business, to help my son go to college and to enjoy financial freedom with my hubby as soon as possible.
I regret that my credit card spending days have set me further back from achieving these goals. However, I have learned that it is never too late to change your course. I not only changed my course, but now I help my clients adjust their courses as well, because my changed financial behaviors have allowed me to start my own business as a financial advisor. Change is possible, but the first step is to realize you have a problem, and the sooner you do, the sooner you can get on the road to achieving your financial goals.

Note: This is part of a series called "Debt Success Stories" which features people who were able to pay off a significant amount of debt. If you have a Debt Success Story I would love to hear about it. Please visit the contact page to let me know the details.

One major line in the geopolitical vision has been the relation between west and east (and 'Europe' and Russia), which still crucially shapes the geographical and geopolitical imagination of politicians, economists and academics on both sides of the line that nowadays exists not so much on the ground but rather as a fuzzy frontier in human minds and practice.

What types of chocolate should I put in a chocolate cake?
When you are cooking with chocolate, one of the first decisions you have to make is to decide what kind of chocolate you will use. For cakes, a larger percentage of people use baking chocolate or semi-chocolate chips. The former will need an addition of sugar and it has a very dense texture and is easy to work with. If chocolate is the only ingredient; dark chocolate will be favoured over other varieties. But there are a number of other types of chocolate to choose from such as:
Types of Cooking Chocolate
Unsweetened Chocolate:
This is made out of chocolate liquor and has no other additives. It can't really be eaten by itself, but is great for cakes, has a satin smooth texture, is rich in cocoa butter & is best for baking.
Semi-Sweet Chocolate:
This is very much like unsweetened chocolate, but has a pinch of sugar, some vanilla and cocoa butter which gives it a very sweet rich taste.
Bittersweet Chocolate:
This contains added cocoa butter & sugar as well as chocolate liquor. However, it has a more noticeable European chocolate flavour.
Sweetened Chocolate:
This is very rich & creamy and has much more butter, sugar and cocoa and is not really preferred as an ingredient for cakes- though some recipes use it.
White Chocolate:
This is made of cocoa butter, sugar and milks but does not contain any cocoa solids. This is what makes it mild, sweet and gives it a creamy texture. It is used as a decorative coating or icing in some cakes.
Couverture Chocolate
This is probably one of the most favoured chocolates used by bakers. This is very high-quality chocolate and is made from pure cacao butter, straight from the bean. The taste of this particular chocolate can range from sweet to very bitter. It has a minimum of 32% (and can go up to 60%), of pure cocoa butter which gives it the melt-in-the-mouth quotient and it has:
- Rich and intense chocolate flavour
- Brittle texture ( has a distinct snap)
- High sheen & a smooth, glossy finish
- Creamy texture
- Low melting point
Couverture is also available in different varieties and this is generally based on the amount of cocoa it has:
Dark Couverture:
This is a dark & broody chocolate and the choice of connoisseurs. It has no milk additive and is more of cocoa solids that has a bit of cocoa butter, a little sugar, lecithin and vanilla added to it. Its rich, intense and earthy and a dream for any chocolate cake.
Milk Couverture:
This is a much creamier, sweeter and paler variant that has a much less-intense chocolate flavour as it has more sugar and milk solids.
White Couverture:
This is a sinfully sweet and woozily wicked version that has 32% cocoa butter, milk, sugar and vanilla with no milk solids whatsoever. Its utterly creamy and succulently sweet.
Enjoy your Chocolate Cake!
Keep in mind that in any recipe, one chocolate should never be substituted for the other. For the best flavour and texture, always use what a particular recipe suggests and enjoy every moment of your delicious chocolate cake.
Happy baking!

More Info... by email
A terminal manager usually is responsible for overseeing and directing the operations of a transportation center. For example, a person might work in this position in a bus, train or truck terminal. To become a terminal manager, you likely will need a high school diploma or its equivalent, but some employers require college education for this position. No matter what the required level of education is, however, you most likely will need knowledge of business and human resource concepts and procedures, excellent communication skills and problem-solving ability. In addition, you likely will need leadership skills, prior experience working in a similar terminal and computer skills.
High school education usually is the minimum required for a career as a terminal manager, but some employers prefer candidates who have earned college degrees as well. In such a case, earning a bachelor's degree in business or transportation and logistics might be particularly helpful. You also might land this job after earning a degree in a human resources or personnel-related major. Some jobs might require a degree in a field such as engineering instead. These degrees are sometimes required when you want to become a terminal manager for a railway company.
The job of a terminal manager requires attention to numerous business, operations and personnel-related details, so gaining experience and building skills in these areas might be helpful. You can accomplish this by working for a few years in the type of terminal that you want to manage, which will help you learn how the business operates. If you can land a job as an assistant to a terminal manager or take on another position of leadership, this can further prepare you for this job. Work experience in other business settings, customer service jobs and even sales positions might also help you prepare for the tasks that you will perform.
Working as a vehicle operator or even a package handler might also provide experience that you can use to become a terminal manager. For example, if you want to work as a truck terminal manager, you might start out loading trucks and then move on to driving before you progress to a position of leadership in the terminal. This type of experience might help you better understand the employees that you will eventually lead as well as the many tasks involved in ensuring that terminal operations proceed smoothly.
You also might benefit from developing your computer skills if you want to become a terminal manager. Many of the tasks performed in a terminal require computer use. Additionally, experience with databases, spreadsheets and word-processing programs might be necessary.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Here's one thing that you probably don't know: even "organic" can sometimes mean unhealthy — especially when it comes to your teeth.
What Do We Mean by "Bad for Your Teeth?"
We'll let you in on a little secret:
Health and natural food store chains frequently boast artisan products such as candies, gums, or baked products that contain organic sugars. While the sugar may not be refined, it's still just as unhealthy for your teeth.
Yes, those "organic" fruit snacks or treats sweetened with sugarcane juice are just as bad for your enamel as if you bought the ones filled with processed sugars. They all cause cavities.
Here's Why…
You could unknowingly be setting yourself or your kids up for some big time dental issues down the road.
Why? Because eating organic sugar is just as bad for your smile (and your dental work) as drinking a can of soda from the vending machine.
The natural bacteria inside our mouths doesn't differentiate between natural, organic, or refined sugars. To our oral flora, sugar is sugar. Once the nutrients inside of your mouth start to break down for digestion, all sugars — including organic ones — become acidic byproducts, or plaque biofilm. As such, the acidic biofilm etches away at your healthy tooth enamel until the repetitive exposures lead to a weakened area of active decay.
What About Artificial Sweeteners?
"Artificial" sweeteners can also be misleading. For instance, not all "sugar free" gums on the checkout isle are free of sweeteners that could damage your teeth. They still can trigger acid production which can lead to softening of enamel.
To date, the only proven natural sweetener that doesn't cause tooth damage is xylitol. In fact, when you chew gums that have xylitol, it actually "cleans" your teeth in the process.
A Sweetener That's Actually Good for Your Teeth
Let's get scientific for a second. Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar, whereas other organic sugars or sweeteners are six-carbon. While this may not seem important, it makes a world of difference for your teeth. The different molecular design inhibits bacteria from producing acid.
Yes, that means exactly what it sounds like: clean teeth, healthier gums, and a happier smile. In fact, many dentists recommend chewing gums with xylitol to help improve oral health in both children and adults. But check the labels carefully, as "sugar-free" gum doesn't always contain this key ingredient.
If you want to boost your or your child's oral health you'd best not choose organically sweetened products. Strong oral health is as easy as picking up a xylitol-sweetened chewing gum the next time you're grocery shopping.

Station Break
Triple threat
A Giant among Mets: Former NFL star/current CBS NFL analyst Phil Simms hosted WCBS-TV's Sports Rap Live
last week. The former Super Bowl MVP's stint included batting practice with the New York Mets.
Gottlieb to join Sinclair newsroom
Carl Gottlieb, who has been deputy director of the Washington-based Project for Excellence in Journalism for the past five years, will return to TV news as managing editor of Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc.'s new national newsroom at its Hunt Valley, Md., headquarters.
Before joining PEJ—where his primary responsibility was the annual report card on local TV news—Gottlieb was news director at Fox's WTTG(TV) Washington, Washington bureau chief for Tribune and an executive producer at Tribune's WPIX(TV) New York.
Headed by longtime WBFF(TV) Baltimore News Director Joe DeFeo, Sinclair's Hunt Valley effort is intended to provide news, weather and sports to stations in the 60-plus-station group currently lacking newscasts, Sinclair said.
The company has recruited about 25 staffers for its emerging Hunt Valley Central News project, including former WTTG anchor Morris Jones.
Capitol welcome
It's typical for a new GM at a network-owned or -affiliated station to meet with local officials. For NBC's new diversity head and WRC-TV Washington GM Michael Jack, that meant testifying at the FCC in his first week on the job.
The invitation had actually been extended to NBC to talk about diversity efforts prior to Jack's announced hiring last month, but, he said, it seemed like a good opportunity. He told the commission about the network's "best practices," which include NBC's associates and famed page programs, as well as its partnership in the Emma Bowen Foundation for Minority Interests in Media.
Jack succeeds Linda Sullivan, now GM of KNTV(TV) San Jose, Calif. WRC-TV celebrated its 55th anniversary last week with an enviable competitive record but faces strengthening competition. "Whether you're No. 1 or No. 2," he said, "you're always looking for growth."
Ticker talk
Those news tickers on all the national cable news nets could be coming to a TV station near you. AP has offered stations 10 topical tickers with thousands of headlines available 24 hours a day for on-air and online use. According to spokesman John Jones, AP had 15 calls about the service within an hour or two of its informing the stations of the service's availability last Wednesday. A couple have already signed up, he said.
Too good to miss
Although he had a great job in one of the country's most desirable markets, former KNSD(TV) San Diego News Director Jim Sanders said the opportunity to be VP for news at NBC's new O&O KNTV(TV) "would be too much fun to pass up. All I can do is go up and play my game and hope I score a few runs."
Sanders replaces Scott Diener, now with Belo's WHAS-TV Louisville, Ky. Bob Goldberger remains as KNTV news director. Assistant News Director Greg Dawson runs the news at KNSD for now and is a candidate to succeed Sanders.
Trio's first principles
Media General's Tampa, Fla., properties—the Tampa Tribune, TBO.com and WFLA-TV—have drafted what they say is the first-ever converged statement of news-coverage principles.
The brief document pledges to provide timely, relevant news and "voice to the voiceless and reflect the full diversity of life in the Tampa Bay area," plus serve as community watchdogs, holding the "powerful accountable." But the pledge, says WFLA-TV News Director Forest Carr—who issued a similar Viewer's Bill of Rights as news director at KGUN(TV) Tucson, Ariz.—will be only as good the accountability. The document promises prompt correction of errors.
Seattle exit
KCPQ(TV) Seattle News Director Todd Mokhtari said last week he is leaving the station, although he's not sure where he'll be going. He says leaving, possibly by Labor Day, is his own idea. "I didn't want to start looking around the country and have it come back that I was in this newsroom or that newsroom. The worst thing that could happen is that I'll be out of work for a while."
