"It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today. I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best for Fox News Channel."
President Donald Trump had defended him, calling O’Reilly a “good person” who did nothing wrong in an interview with The New York Times earlier this month.
After the reports surfaced, a sustained public relations campaign emerged by liberal groups like Media Matters, Color of Change and UltraViolet, some of which held protests outside of Fox News headquarters, at one point flying planes over New York City with banners calling on the network to fire O'Reilly.
The biggest blow came when advertisers began to pull support from the show. At one point dozens of advertisers had pulled commercials, leading to extremely short commercial blocks on what normally is high-priced prime-time real estate.
In a memo sent to employees that was separate from the note sent with his sons, Fox owner Rupert Murdoch acknowledged the turmoil the O’Reilly drama has caused for the staff.
As a result of O’Reilly’s departure, Fox has shuffled around its prime-time line up. Eric Bolling, a Fox anchor who regularly filled in for O’Reilly, will get his own show at 5 p.m. starting May 1. "Special Report with Bret Baier" will stay at 6 p.m., while Martha MacCallum, who had been hosting a temporary show on Trump’s first 100 days, will transition to a permanent show called “The Story with Martha MacCallum."
Carlson, who has had a rapid ascension after taking over both the 7 p.m. hour following Greta Van Susteren’s departure and the 9 p.m. hour following Megyn Kelly’s exit, will take O’Reilly's 8 p.m. slot. “The Five,” the popular panel show, will move to 9 p.m., with a new co-host, Jesse Watters, joining Kimberly Guilfoyle, Dana Perino, Bob Beckel, Greg Gutfeld and Juan Williams. Sean Hannity rounds out the schedule with his 10 p.m. slot, which he will keep.

Saline County Circuit Judge Todd Lambert indicated he did not necessarily make the decision he wanted to make. He denied a motion to allow three sixth-grade girls to play softball while a lawsuit brought by their parents is decided in court.
Parents of the three students from Harrisburg Middle School sued the school board, saying their daughters' civil rights were violated when they were added to the team after tryouts, then cut by administrators shortly after tryouts. Administrators cited board policy that does not allow sixth-graders to play on teams with seventh- and eighth-graders.
The girls will not play Harrisburg Middle School softball this year. Lambert's decision, came two days after a hearing in which an attorney representing the parents asked for a restraining order allowing the kids to play.
Lambert, citing higher state courts, said school children don't have a constitutional right to participate in sports.
"Were this a case in which the court simply had to decide whether to let these very talented girls play on a middle school softball team, the court would likely reach a different decision," Lambert wrote in his three-page decision. "But the court is constrained with the procedural and substantive laws of this state."
The lawsuit was filed by Mindy and Jason Jones, on behalf of Hanna Jones; Ron Hutchinson, on behalf of Kaitlyn Hutchinson; and James and Ladonna Davis, on behalf of Hannah Davis. They are represented by Josh Bradley, an attorney based in Marion who is a native of Harrisburg.
Bradley is exploring options on behalf of his clients, he said.
"My clients are disappointed with the decision that was reached," Bradley said. "I am especially disappointed with the decision for the children who just wanted the opportunity to play."
Superintendent Dennis Smith stood by board policy, but plans to work on changing policy to allow sixth-graders to play next year. Board members, in a 5-2 decision at an Aug. 8 special meeting, upheld the policy preventing sixth-graders from playing. They pledged to study the policy and possibly make changes next year.
KAPALUA, Hawaii – If the memories of an eight-stroke victory here last year aren’t enough to propel Jordan Spieth in his season debut on the PGA Tour, he can always draw on the spiritual healing from a recent trip to Augusta National Golf Club.
Spieth lost the Masters in horrific fashion last April when, after leading by five strokes with nine holes to go, he splashed two iron shots into Rae’s Creek at the par-3 12th hole, swallowed a quadruple-bogey 7, and lost to England’s Danny Willett.
Returning to the scene of the debacle in December, Spieth, playing with two Augusta members, didn’t try to pretend that the occasion wasn’t significant. Which then made the succeeding events meaningful.
“I was vocally expressing that, ‘Guys, we have some demons to get rid of here, I'd appreciate if y'all stood to the side of the tee box while I do my work here.’ That was cool,” Spieth said Wednesday at Kapalua Resort, where he is defending his title in the SBS Tournament of Champions.
Spieth, the 2015 Masters winner, was playing the Member Tees for his two-day trip. But not at the 12th, named Golden Bell.
That psychological hurdle cleared, and with a second win in three years in the Australian Open under his belt that he collected via playoff in November, Spieth returns to the Plantation Course armed with mental harmony and momentum.
That particular formula Spieth orchestrated to astounding success a year ago when he posted 30 under par, only the second player to reach 30 under in a 72-hole PGA Tour event. Ernie Els shot 31 under in his 2003 victory at Kapalua.
The command performance, after his Player of the Year effort in 2015 that included two major victories and the FedEx Cup title, appeared to be the ideal springboard into another strong campaign. Instead, it was the high point to a year of disappointments in the majors and only three worldwide victories, though he also was a part of the winning U.S. Ryder Cup team.
Having tasted disappointment for essentially the first time in his career, Spieth allowed that he learned plenty about himself and how he can manage expectations long term. Big picture stuff. Deeper perspective, not that he needed it. He was happy to see 2016 come to a close. But he wasn’t going to forget it.
Still, challenges have to be addressed in the present and near term. Spieth has turf to defend this week, and then a series of tournaments leading up to his return to the Masters. Like many of the top players, Spieth already is making preparations for Augusta, but he alone has to confront the dejection of last year when he was hurtling toward becoming the fourth man to win back-to-back green jackets only to stumble in the home stretch.
Seems like he’s off to a good start already. Demons gone.
Postmodernism Architect Robert Venturi Dies At 93 Philadelphia architect Robert Venturi died Tuesday at 93. Often credited as a major influence on the postmodern architecture movement, he celebrated oversized, playful elements and Vegas casinos.
Philadelphia architect Robert Venturi died Tuesday at 93. Often credited as a major influence on the postmodern architecture movement, he celebrated oversized, playful elements and Vegas casinos.
The architect Robert Venturi died Tuesday. He was 93. He and his wife, Denise Scott Brown, were major influences in what is known as postmodern architecture. (Reading) I am for messy vitality over obvious unity, Venturi once wrote about his work. And the works from his half-century collaboration with his wife showed it. Denise Scott Brown joins me now from Philadelphia to talk about her husband and their work. And I want to start by thanking you for taking the time. Thank you so much, especially at this moment of loss. My condolences.
DENISE SCOTT BROWN: Thank you very much.
KELLY: I have spent some time today looking at a bunch of photographs of your and Mr. Venturi's work. And among the things that struck me was how diverse it is, from a children's museum in Houston that looks like this colorful exploding kid's toy box to a fire station in Indiana to the extension of the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square in London. Was there a unifying idea or approach?
SCOTT BROWN: I suppose messy vitality describes that approach well.
KELLY: Your husband's words. Yeah.
KELLY: Like the Strip, like the Strip in Vegas.
SCOTT BROWN: Yes, that's an extreme version. But many of the projects you talk about came from having an outlook which said, if we will face the real challenges of these projects, not put them under the rug, we might get something at first we think is ugly, but later we think of it as very beautiful.
KELLY: Well, stay there for a second. Before I - before we move on from your reference to the Strip, I had read that you and your husband were drawn to Las Vegas, which, with all due respect to the good people of Vegas, is not the first city I would've thought a team of architects would be attracted to. What was it that spoke to there?
SCOTT BROWN: Well, it wasn't the first city we were attracted to. We went to all the places that architects love, too, like Rome and Paris. And then we began to see that where we had come from had certain reasons for its existence, like Philadelphia - for me, Johannesburg. And that out of these, without ignoring the tradition we have, we can draw beautiful things and relevant things. And we can be relevant to our societies and say, why aren't we listening to all these things? You don't have to exclude Rome. You go from Rome to Las Vegas, and so we were just making our world larger.
KELLY: Did your husband talk to you about how he wanted to be remembered?
SCOTT BROWN: Right at the beginning, he - there was this very modest young guy. And he was doing this house for his mother, and everyone was laughing at him. And then when we got together and - we worked together for five years beautifully, but we began to fall in love. He said, it may be that I could be very good.
KELLY: Was he saying, I could be good, I could be better with you?
SCOTT BROWN: ...The way the modernist relation - function and beauty in architecture 'cause he wants to quote it. So he was already using me. And he's helping me, too, with my stuff. But he knew he needed me to be a great architect. It was a conflict for him. But he knew very well, and he tried to be fair to me. He wanted to be here much of the time he was.
KELLY: That's architect Denise Scott Brown. She shared a nearly 60-year collaboration with her husband, Robert Venturi. He died Tuesday at the age of 93. Denise Scott Brown, thank you so much for speaking with us.
SCOTT BROWN: I hope you found it honest and convincing.
KELLY: I did. Thank you.
SCOTT BROWN: Thank you very much.

Today we learned a lot about the Xbox One, the Microsoft next-gen gaming console, but there are some questions that remain unanswered, so I sat down with Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy, Interactive Entertainment Business, to try to get to the bottom of a few lingering questions and a few of my own.
All of the demos we’ve seen today at the Xbox campus have been on gorgeous flat panel HDTVs running at 1080p, the highest of hi-def resolutions. In the near future, though, Ultra-hi-def TVs (UHDTVs) are expected to become as common as HDTVs are today. Will the next-gen Xbox work with these next-gen TVs? “The video and interface portions, absolutely. Games developed for 1080p will run at 1080p, obviously.” It will support up to 4K at launch for things like Blu-Ray, but what about later? “There’s no hardware restriction there at all.” So, in theory, the Xbox One could support 2K or perhaps even 4K gaming – if there’s content for it at those resolutions.
The announcement today of a Spielberg-produced Halo TV series (creatively named "Halo: The Television Series) was something of a surprise. It amounts to a furthering of Microsoft’s filmed entertainment strategy and expands on the excellent Halo: Forward Unto Dawn web series that Microsoft published late last year. But is Halo an only child of a series? “We've made a very big investment in starting Xbox Next studios. We have over 150 people to pioneer the future of interactive TV. Nancy Tellem is right now talking to many other content providers to bring their products to the Xbox One. We're also working on other properties, some that we own, some with our partners.” There you have it: Microsoft’s own TV channel. Take that, Cable TV.
We asked about the possibility of downloading X86-compatible 360 games, say for owners of those games, and Mehdi told us that right now there are no plans for a program like that, but that may change. “Some developers might want to go that way, but it’s too early to tell yet.” That means don’t hold your breath.
Much has also been said about the notion that the Xbox One requires an internet connection to do, well, anything, which many fans have been very vocal about. According to Mehdi, though, the console will work just fine offline. “For some things the Xbox One does, you’ll obviously need an internet connection,” Mehdi told us. "It's built to be a connected device to take advantage of the cloud. It does amazing things when its connected. But we have a smart solution if you, say, lose your connection,” though he was scarce on details. But one won’t need to be online “to watch a Blu-ray, or play a one-player game.” The majority of the things the Xbox One does, he reminds us, require the cloud.
But the big unknown is this: How much will the Xbox One cost? “I’m sorry,” Mehdi said, “but I can’t say yet. We have to have something left to announce at E3 and Pax!"
Rain sensors help conserve water during rain events.
An irrigation system makes keeping your lawn and ornamental plants well-hydrated easy, but when the rain falls you don’t want your system to continue pumping water onto your landscape. A rain sensor is a small device that attaches to the control terminal on your irrigation system and turns it off during periods of rain. As moisture hits the sensor the fibrous disk inside, it swells, signaling the control system to shut down the irrigation system. When the disk dries out, it returns to its normal shape and the irrigation system returns to its established watering schedule.
Consult the operator’s manual for your irrigation system to determine the proper setting for testing your unit. For example, some systems must be set to “manual all stations” setting to test them; you cannot test them on the “manual single station” setting.
Set the irrigation system control to the proper setting for testing a rain sensor. Check the system to ensure that it came on. If you can’t see the sprinkler running from your location, have a helper go check it.
Depress the plunger located on the top of the rain sensor once you have confirmed that the sprinkler is running. The sprinkler system should stop irrigating within a few seconds. If you cannot see the sprinkler system, have your helper check the system.
Troubleshoot the system if is it does not stop watering when you depress the plunger on the rain sensor. Make sure that all wiring connections on the sensor and on the sprinkler control unit are tight. Check to make sure that the jumper tab, also called a jumper wire, was removed when the rain sensor was hooked up to the control panel.
The disk inside a rain sensor can become clogged with dirt or insects, causing it not to function properly. Consult your operator’s manual for the correct procedure to clean the disk.

Mobile apps have less space to lay out menus and buttons and as a result it’s not always obvious how to do certain tasks within an app. Case in point: Bringing back tabs you’ve recently closed on the mobile version of Safari. Here’s how to do it with just a few taps.
By tapping the tab button in the lower right corner of Safari you can bring up open tabs, and then the plus icon lets you create a new tab. However, if you tap and hold the plus icon, all your recently closed tabs appear, letting you bring back any that you didn’t mean to close.
If you’re using an iPad or an iPhone in landscape mode, the plus icon is already on the main Safari interface and there’s no need to view the open tabs first—just tap and hold on the plus icon and your most recent tabs show up. If you didn’t already know how this was done, consider yourself enlightened.
Students, mostly from East Campus and Random Hall, demanded more input into the dining reform process during a protest in Lobby 7 on Friday, the second day of Campus Preview Weekend. The event was organized by the Campaign for Students.
Last Friday, in the middle of Campus Preview Weekend, students from the Campaign for Students (CFS) gathered in Lobby 7 to protest the Division of Student Life’s handling of dining reform. Students joined and left the protest intermittently, but the number of attendees at any point in time was around two dozen.
Last Friday, members and representatives from three MIT-affiliated unions came together in a student-worker solidarity gathering to discuss the current conditions facing MIT workers. Present at the meeting were representatives from the MIT Police Association, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 615, and the Research, Development, and Technical Employees Union as well as Cambridge City Councilor E. Denise Simmons.
A female prefrosh was found unconscious near McCormick late on Thursday last week, according to an e-mail sent by Bexley housemaster Robert M. Randolph to dorm residents.
In Cambridge, Mass., at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a nuclear reactor emits an eerie blue glow 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Its fuel is 93 percent uranium 235 — the high-purity uranium it takes to energize an atom bomb and exactly what the West fears that Tehran wants to produce.
Businessman Ned Lamont (D) will be Connecticut’s next governor, after his hard-charging Republican rival conceded the contest on Wednesday morning.
Lamont beat out businessman Bob Stefanowski (R) in an unexpectedly close race for the right to succeed term-limited Gov. Dan Malloy (D) next year.
Polls showed the race was going to be close, in large part because Malloy’s dismal approval ratings have been a drag on Democrats even in a solid blue state. A recent Gravis Marketing survey showed just 30 percent of Connecticut voters approved of Malloy’s job performance, lower even than President Trump Donald John TrumpImpeachment? Not so fast without missing element of criminal intent Feds say marijuana ties could prevent immigrants from getting US citizenship Trump approval drops to 2019 low after Mueller report's release: poll MORE’s 38 percent rating.
Lamont burst onto Connecticut’s political scene when he beat former Sen. Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary in 2006. Lieberman ran in, and won, the general election as an independent.
Lamont ran for governor in 2010. He lost the Democratic nomination to Malloy by a 15-point margin.
It is with deep regret I feel I must inform you that Councillor Maggie Clay passed away yesterday (Thursday 2nd April).
Maggie was much admired by all of us for her strong principles and her determination to make life better for people in Stockport. She played a leading role in many of our Council campaigns and most recently was at the forefront of our work to help people access benefits and be able to pay their winter fuel bills.
She was a caring champion who looked after our communities in need, and we shall miss her immensely. Maggie was a strong character who always inspired and drove others to achieve their best possible work. Our thoughts and condolences go out to all those who knew her, and held her in high regard.
For funeral details please contact me on [email protected] and I’ll ensure you get the information as soon as it is known.
Maggie’s influence went well beyond Stockport. She was heavily involved in the Association of Liberal Councillors, and led the way in showing how Liberals could win against Labour in heavily deprived urban areas. She developed and popularised many of the campaigning approaches which are now second nature in the party – and was certainly someone who always remembered that there is a larger purpose to politics than simply winning the next election.

Chris Grayling – should I have defended him?
Maggie was a friend, colleague and inspiration both for me and many others in the Stockport constituencies.
I was in a meeting with Maggie on Monday morning when she was, as usual, sharp, funny and hard at work for the people of Stockport.
Her death has come as a complete shock to us all. Maggie will be greatly missed by a lot of people.
Sad to hear this news on the day we won the Dormanstown By Election using many of the campaign tactics I learned from the likes of Maggie Clay in the early days of ALC.
It was so good to meet Maggie once again at the Harrogate Conference. Not having seen her for many years it was great to chat.
We (old timers !) met over the years at Liberal Assemblies and, more often than not, were in complete agreement.
Two Assemblies stand out – the Blackpool Assembly with the alliance proposals leading to the new party – ALC played a significant part in the final decisions. The other was Eastbourne with the confusion following the defeat of the European Nuclear proposals – headless chickens were never in more disarray ! Maggie was a star on these and many other occasions.
Maggie Clay will be much missed within her local community. I got to know Maggie well during the formation of the FOGM Park group. She was an invaluable and positive voice of reason and action.
Very sad news. She did a tremendous job and was an inspiration to many of us who made urban breakthroughs in the early/mid 1980s.
She was a wonderful woman and will be sadly missed. Certainly an inspiring figure to me from my first years in the party.
I am very sad indeed today. I first met Maggie in 1974 when I joined the Liberals in Leeds and she was a great support to me then. I last saw her when I bumped into her in the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall in 2001, but we kept in touch by Christmas card and the occasional letter.
