Today in Style, John Maynard reports that all three local TV stations showed precipitous drops in viewership for their 11 p.m. newscasts, compared to last year.

Yeah, okay. Maybe that's part of | it.
But the stations are fighting the same trend as newspapers: Viewers seeking their news elsewhere.

There are approximately 10 to 11 million blind and visually impaired people in North America (American Foundation for the Blind, October, 2000).
A person who is legally blind can see at 20 feet what a person with average vision can see at 200 feet (20/200 Vision). Total blindness is the complete absence of vision and light perception. Patrons with vision loss will range from people who are completely blind to people who can't adjust quickly to changes in lighting conditions (i.e. dark theater to bright outdoors). However, many people with vision loss have light perception or may see various images or fields of images.
When working with an individual who is blind or has low vision, remember these basic tips:
"Hi, my name is Alice. I am a patron services volunteer. How may I assist you this evening?"
There are basically three ways people who are blind or have low vision travel: with a dog guide, with a cane, and without adaptive | assistance.
Dog Guides. While the dog is in harness that dog is "working" and you should never pet, talk to, feed, or otherwise distract it. Some people prefer that you walk behind their left or right shoulder and give verbal directions. Others may wish you to walk on the opposite side, away from the dog. Always ask the patron which he or she prefers.

East Coast media elites pile on Romney

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney listens during the third presidential debate withUS President Barack Obama on October 22, 2012 at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. Obama and Romney battled over foreign policy in their last debate of a White House race that is deadlocked with two weeks to go. The rivals faced a final chance to land a decisive blow in front of millions of television viewers, before a last-ditch dash for votes in a bitter campaign that has exposed the sharp political divide splitting America in two.

Nerds like me have images like this as their computer wallpaper.
I recently read an article on Cracked.com titled, How Doctor Who became my Religion. When I first came across it, I half expected to be treated to an internet term paper on how the Doctor is a metaphor for society’s desire for a Messiah. Nope. Instead, using humor and remarkable theological insight, the author (who goes by the name Gladstone) meanders through a personal three-part analysis as he attempts to understand why this beloved space adventure show has the ability to make him cry.
The messages he gleans from Doctor Who: We are not alone against evil, God needs us, and God is fallible. Now, of course, classical theology would completely disagree with Gladstone on those last two insights. But staying out of the realm of Christian theology and just in | the world where a mysterious Time Lord from Gallifrey travels space and time in a police call box known as the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), Gladstone is on point as to why the show, even with all the camp and nerdiness, is moving.

Photographer Omar Mullick has spent the last decade passing through the countries of Central Asia on assignment. Here, he reflects on his photographs of a Pashtun cinema in Karachi, a space he found defied the preconceived images of the region.
These photographs were created, if I am brutally honest, from a loss of faith. Not in my religion or way of life, but from my understanding in how the eye of documentary photography portrays the Muslim world.
I didn’t buy it: the blurred melancholy and humorless conviction with which we documented native, usually Muslim peoples. It did not resonate—not even slightly, and even if I registered good intention in the work, it never mitigated my feeling that there were a thousand ways of looking at people in the West and only one way of looking at other people on the brunt of war. They were often confined to one visual language, or, to extend the metaphor, one set of visual phrases: suffering, victimhood, violence and trauma. And in the effort to prompt | outrage and underline how bad war was, their subjects were often confined to the ‘other’. More specifically, people never surfaced in photographs—only symbols of war. What resulted was the worst absence possible in a photograph of another person: empathy.
The resulting photographs were shot, I realize now, as a response to that.
They were taken in Karachi at a Pashtun cinema before I was scheduled for an | [

In the book Cutting Through the Hype: the Essential Guide to School Reform, authors Jane L. David and Larry Cuban concisely describe various aspects of educational reform. They categorize educational reform into three strategies: reforming the system, reforming how schools are organized, and reforming teaching and learning.

"Mass Portrait," the latest show at the XYandZ gallery, features collaborative and solo pieces from local print artists Anna Tsantir and Daniel Luedtke. And while both work in the realm of abstract art, the exhibition demonstrates how varied artistic styles can be, even when working within the same genre and medium. Tsantir's art is often sparsely colored and has an organic feel. Forms sometimes appear vague while others are more specific; in one piece white shapes on black paper almost mirror each other like a kaleidoscope or paper snowflake, while in another piece familiar animal outlines emerge from inkblot-like shadow puppets. Luedtke, a self-taught print | maker, creates works filled with bright colors, futuristic lines, and humorous juxtapositions (think cinderblocks as lights and burly men with bananas).

ASHEVILLE With the Blue Ridge mountains as a backdrop, new North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory kicked off a statewide tour Monday, pledging to listen and learn and then get to work.
McCrory made his first appearance outside Raleigh as governor before more than 300 people gathered in a mountainside pavilion. It was the first stop of a tour that will take him to Greensboro and New Bern on Tuesday and Charlotte on Wednesday.
What we want to do this week is visit the rest of the state and listen and learn, he announced. This is not just to have a speech; its to have a dialogue.
McCrory, Charlottes former mayor, was sworn in Saturday. Hell deliver his inaugural address this Saturday, capping a weekend of balls and a parade.
Before he went to Asheville, McCrory issued his first executive order Monday, repealing a nonpartisan judicial nominating commission put in place by his predecessor, Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue.
At a news conference in Raleigh, he said the commission didnt work, noting that even Perdue rescinded the order in the final weeks of her term to fill a vacancy on the N.C. Supreme | Court.
In Asheville, it was a relaxed, even buoyant, McCrory who greeted citizens and public officials from western North Carolina. He stood in a sort of receiving line, exchanging hugs and handshakes.

It embodies the personality and personal style of its CEO and designer, Isabella Velez, a New York native raised between Colombia and the United States.
Isabella moved to Miami at a young age, where she studied accessory design at The Art Institute. Captivated by the European fashion and art scene, she decided to move to Europe, where she continued her fashion studies in London and Italy | . Fascinated with the genuine Italian craftsmanship, she decided to produce her entire collections in the historic fashion hub.

|This is a measure of the brightness of a celestial object. The lower the value, the brighter the object, so magnitude -4 is brighter than magnitude 0, which is in turn brighter than magnitude +4. The scale is logarithmic, and a difference of 5 magnitudes means a brightness difference of exactly 100 times. A difference of one magnitude corresponds to a brightness difference of around 2.51 (the fifth root of 100).
The system was started by | the ancient Greeks, who divided the stars into one of six magnitude groups with stars of the first magnitude being the first ones to be visible after sunset. In modern times, the scale has been extended in both directions and more strictly defined.
Examples of magnitude values for well-known objects are;

I recently returned from the Sahel region of Africa, where a major humanitarian crisis is now unfolding, affecting an estimated 18.7 million people.

Worker advocate denounces NLRB’s ruling to take away protection workers have against card check forced unionism
Washington, DC (August 30, 2011) – Today, Barack Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) overturned its Dana Corp. decision, in which National Right to Work Foundation attorneys secured for employees the right to challenge union card check organizing campaigns with a secret ballot vote.
Under the Foundation-won Dana decision, workers may collect signatures to request a secret ballot election during a 45-day window period following notice that their employer has recognized a union based on a card check organizing drive. The ruling is intended to counteract coercive practices frequently associated with card check, which allow organizers to bully or mislead employees into signing cards that count as "votes" toward unionization.
The NLRB overturned Dana just as President Obama-appointed N | LRB Chairwoman Wilma Liebman's term expired. Meanwhile, Obama-appointed Board Member Craig Becker, who co-authored a union brief in the original Dana case, refused to recuse himself from the case. Becker, a recess nominee, faces bi-partisan opposition to his confirmation in the U.S. Senate. One Board Member, Bryan Hayes, vigorously dissented and called the ruling a blatant roll | [

Ever since the 2003 publication of Moneyball, and its account of the use of sabermetrics by Billy Beane and the 2002 Oakland Athletics’ to gain competitive advantage, questions have been asked about the potential applicability of statistics to other sports.
Interest in the UK naturally spiked following the release of the film of the book, which brought Moneyball to a wider audience and prompted questions about whether football was missing out by ignoring the potential of | statistical analysis for competitive advantage.

The convicted peeping Tom who killed two detectives in Santa Cruz, Calif., on Tuesday was distraught over his recent arrest and firing for a sexual-assault complaint filed by a co-worker, and he intended to harm police or others, officials said Wednesday.
Jeremy Peter Goulet, 35, was shot and killed about 30 minutes after he gunned down Sgt. Loren Butch Baker, a 28-year veteran of the force, and Detective Elizabeth Butler, a 10-year veteran.

State labor officials routinely fail to properly investigate whistleblower complaints of retaliation in the workplace, according to a federal review.
A harsh evaluation by the U.S. Department of Labor found that state investigators lack basic training and often fail to perform standard required tasks such as interviewing witnesses. The review [PDF] examined the work of the state Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, which investigates complaints from workers who say they were punished for reporting labor or safety violations.
In more than half of the cases reviewed in the audit, investigators did not interview the person who submitted the whistleblower complaint. Investigators frequently didn't interview other witnesses either and sometimes simply accepted a company's defense.
"The investigators' failure to conduct these interviews left many key questions unanswered and resulted in inadequate investigations and analysis," the report states.
Help us do more.
The California Department of Industrial Relations, which oversees the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, has asked for additional time to respond to the federal evaluation | , and until it does, “we’re not going to have any statement,” said spokeswoman Erika Monterroza. “Until that time, it’s under review.”
The federal monitoring report examined 10 percent of the 210 whistleblower retaliation cases closed in the 2010-11 fiscal year.
The review, released Aug. 24, faulted investigators for failing to record interviews, analyze evidence, organize case files and close cases in time. None | [

Firefighters fired up over tattoo rules

Article Last Updated: 06/23/2008 10:48:56 PM PDT
Los Angeles city firefighters are heated up over a new policy that requires them to cover all visible tattoos while on the job, no matter whether they're responding to a call or making dinner in the firehouse.
Since the policy took effect May 1, firefighters complain they've had to wear sweat shirts, long sleeves, and even skin patches to hide | their body art.
Firefighter David Navarro, 50, developed a rash from the patch he wears over the American eagle imprinted on his forearm.
The veteran got the tattoo while serving in the Marine Corps and said he never once heard a complaint from the public about his or other firefighters' tattoos. In fact, he said, he now gets more questions from people about the patch; they ask whether | [

The accountant's annual statement, which showed the coop's increased assets, debt, and growth after the expansion to the Building Next Door, was as dry as a vegan brownie.

12/03/2007 - American Indian children are overrepresented in the nation's foster care system at more than 1.6 times the expected level, according to a new report by the National Indian Child Welfare Association and the national, nonpartisan Kids Are Waiting campaign, a project of The Pew Charitable Trusts. The report was released Nov. 20 at the annual national convention of the National Congress of American Indians in Denver. NCAI has been a partner with NICWA on several child welfare initiatives.
The report, ''Time for Reform: A Matter of Justice for American Indian and Alaska Native Children,'' details how Congress created the mechanisms for foster care funding that excluded Indian children who are receiving case management from tribal social services. States receive about $7 billion from the Title IV-E fund in 2006, which accounts for 50 percent of the federal child welfare funds provided to state-administrated foster care.
David Simmons, NICWA director of government affairs and advocacy, spoke at the event at which the report was released and said that state governments can access up to seven different federal programs to provide foster care programs | . Tribal governments, who carry approximately 15,000 foster child caseloads every year, can only access up to five federal programs and are excluded from directly accessing the largest | [

Egypt’s Ruling Muslim Brotherhood Blames Israel for Attack in Sinai Peninsula (CNS) CYBERCAST NEWS SERVICE) By Patrick Goodenough 08/08/12)

(CNSNews.com) – The Muslim Brotherhood’s suggestion that Israel’s
Mossad was behind a deadly attack in the Sinai peninsula that left 16
Egyptian border policemen dead is far more significant than past anti-
Israel conspiracy theories, since the Islamist group now dominates
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who formally resigned from the
Brotherhood after being elected in June, has not himself blamed
Israel for the attack – but he has neither publicly rejected the
claim nor reprimanded his Islamist associates for making it.
Official investigations are continuing into Sunday’s incident, in
which some 35 gunmen opened fire on the border guards, commandeered
two vehicles and tried to force their way across the Egyptian border
The Israeli military said its forces killed at least seven of the
group, believed to be | Palestinian jihadists from the adjacent Gaza
Strip – which is ruled by Hamas, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim
After the attack, the Egyptian government ordered the immediate
closure of the border crossing between Egypt and Gaza.
A statement by Egypt’s armed forces called the incident a “terrorist
attack” and warned against “schemes and plots hatched against Egypt,”
but did not attribute blame.
The Muslim Brotherhood had no such qualms.

The commander of U.S. Forces Japan apologized and announced that all military personnel in Japan would have to adhere to a night curfew beginning today.
The move comes after two Navy sailors allegedly raped a woman in Okinawa. Like the case in 1995, when three servicemen raped a school girl, opposition to U.S. bases swelled after the arrests.

Medical students job offers withdrawn after exam marking error
Thousands of medical students face having their first hospital job offer withdrawn because of marking errors in their exams.
On Monday more than 7,000 final year students were told the region they were assigned to as junior doctors.
However, a day later the examining body, the UK Foundation Programme Office (UKFPO), withdrew all offers due to flaws in the scoring system.
The British Medical Association says the situation is "unacceptable".
The UKFPO announced on Tuesday that it had discovered "a potential error in the scanning process of the situational judgement test" and promised to manually re-mark all the affected sheets within a week. The test is a multiple-choice exam used to test judgement in clinical scenarios.
Combined with other exams, this test helps determine the geographical region students will work in for the duration of their foundation programme - a two-year training course which forms the bridge between medical school | and training for a specialism. They then choose their preferred hospitals in this region.
A large number of medical students have contacted the BBC saying their initial elation of being offered their preferred job location has turned to anxiety.'Extremely distressing'

Modern technology is like shaving in that it’s a double-edged sword I sometimes cut myself on. Well, not exactly, because, really, who shaves with a sword?

Each year on the first Friday of May, the Department of State observes Foreign Affairs Day, the annual homecoming for our Foreign Service and Civil Service retirees. This day also commemorates the members of the Foreign Service who made the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives serving the United States overseas. Both a solemn occasion and a celebration, Foreign Affairs Day recognizes employees of foreign affairs agencies and their dedication and service as they address foreign policy and development challenges around the world.
Over 400 retirees are expected to return to the Department of State on May 3 to participate in a morning program of remarks and seminars with senior officials to discuss key foreign policy issues, with a special keynote address from Secretary of State John Kerry. Hosted by the Director General for Human Resources, the Department will also present the Director General’s Foreign Service Cup to W.

WVU, OSU partner on shale energy research
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Ohio State University and West Virginia University are creating a partnership aimed at developing Appalachia’s shale energy industry.

The research will look at issues related to shale development, including the | economic implications of natural gas and other hydrocarbons. They’ll also study the possible impacts on the environment, local communities and public health.
Officials say the schools will exchange information and jointly explore funding of shale energy and related environmental studies, including the possibility of developing shale energy field laboratories.

After enjoying the festivities of his first ever NHL All-Star Game appearance, it was back to work for John Tavares, as his New York Islanders traveled to Carolina to take on the Hurricanes.

From 1 January 2013, all ships over 400GT on international voyages will be required to carry a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), detailing the operational and technical measures that will be implemented on board to improve efficiency and therefore reduce fuel consumption.
As part of a series of articles examining some of the viable SEEMP measures identified by the IMO-commissioned study, ‘Assessment of Mandated Energy Efficiency Measures for International Shipping’, Fathom cTech looks at the impact of hull and propeller monitoring and cleaning on fuel efficiency in the second of the Fathom-CTech series of reports.
By Fathom cTech
Vessel performance deteriorates in direct proportion to reductions in hull and propeller performance. Numerous studies including those by the IMO, academic institutes, and investigations on the part paint manufacturers attest to this.
A recent report from the Clean Shipping Coalition (CSC), which was submitted for consideration to the MEPC 63/4/8 in 2011, estimated | that inadequate hull and propeller performance could reduce the entire world’s fleet efficiency by 15-20% over a typical 4 to 5 year sailing interval. For ships that maintain steaming speeds, this equates to a directly proportionate increase in bunker consumption and GHG emissions.
The figures put forward were based on an expansive study conducted | [

It seems that Charles Eames met, worked with, or directly influenced the majority of mid-century modern’s luminaries. Perhaps it’s because that community was so tight-knit, or maybe it was because they admired each others’ work so thoroughly. In any case, Harry Bertoia was no different.
Born in Italy, he visited his brother in Detroit when he was 15. In a choice that would affect the rest of his life, he decided to stay in the United States; for the rest of his secondary education, he studied art and design at Cass Technical High School. Subsequently, he received a scholarship at the Cranbrook Academy of Art – a school that would be placed at the historical forefront of mid-century architecture (Saarinen) and furniture design (Eames).
Having studied at Cranbrook with Charles and Ray (and having designed and created their wedding rings), he went to work for them from 1943 until the end of WWII. Legend has it that the wire chairs the Eames’ produced were inspired during that time. When Bertoia himself designed a | similar chair for Florence Knoll’s company, Herman Miller succeeded in enforcing their patent for the Eames wire chair. Bertoia redesigned his wire chairs, and they achieved immediate success on the market.

Ana Marie Cox of the Guardian isn’t on our team. That’s fine. However, to label us the “jackass” wing of journalism only demonstrates the left’s inability to hold their own side accountable. She seems to feel that all of the criticism she outlines in her piece about conservative media are absent on the left. This Friday will mark the one year anniversary of Andrew Breitbart’s passing, and it seems Cox is frustrated, angry, and perhaps threatened by the legacy he left behind.
Let’s just get this out of the way right up front: Ana Marie Cox built her career on blogging jokes about anal sex at the reprehensible guttersnipe site Wonkette. She presented herself as a rambunctious youngster, but it turned out she was already pushing 30 and just naturally behaves like a annoying, hyperactive juvenile. Both Time and later the Guardian hired her in full knowledge of this colorful journalistic career.
First, there is no such thing as being “mean” in media. As Breitbart famously said, “truth isn’t mean. It’s the truth,” and sadly that characteristic fails miserably with left-wing journalists. It’s not mean to point out that Ana Marie Cox built her career on blogging anal sex jokes. It’s | just the truth.

The Bunker cast deceptively simple brilliance
By Gabe Meline
I've only seen the Bunker twice, but so far, with captivating songs constructed from the same three or four chords that pop songwriters have been using since the dawn of time, they're the most promising new band in town. They're nothing fancy—just two guys, Spike Clem and drummer Sam Maurer—and that's exactly why they've been stuck in my head for the last couple weeks. Youth is complex; the Bunker aren't.
Clem is a rakishly thin 18-year-old and has already written the kinds of songs that make stars out of kids who don't know just how weird being a star can be. At a show last week, the Bunker hadn't yet played one note when a group of fans started crowding in tightly. After warming up with a run-through of the Strokes' "Someday," which was released when he was 10, Clem began pounding on the acoustic guitar slung over his gray hoodie and singing his own songs somewhere beautifully | between everything-matters and don't-give-a-shit. Most of the teenagers present drowned out the PA system by singing along, while the aging musicians at the bar pointed with one hand, beer in the other, and made the eternal, cyclical concession: It's their turn.
I used to think Clem sang like the Mountain Goats' John Darnielle, with his deceptively plaintive voice, but he's actually more comparable to John K. Samson of the Canadian band the Weakerthans. Like Samson, he possesses the ability to | [
