BEST OF BALTIMORE — Investigative Voice named best online news source by Baltimore Magazine

Friday, 23 July 2010 01:49

I.V. PACKS ‘A HARD-HITTING WALLOP
IN A TOWN THAT’S GONE SOFTER
ON HARD NEWS,’ MAGAZINE SAYS

Baltimore Magazine, in its Special (August 2010) Issue now on newsstands, has named Investigative Voice the city’s best Online News source. The magazine’s 35th Annual Best of Baltimore edition cites I.V. for “packing a hard-hitting wallop in a town that’s gone softer on hard news in recent years, largely as a result of cuts atThe Sun.” http://investigativevoice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5060:best-of-baltimore&catid=25:the-project&Itemid=44

Weigel Defying the advice that it’s better to look for a job while employed, David Weigel is adding Slate to his growing list of jobs after resigning from theWashington Post at the beginning of the Journolist scandal.

In addition to his already announced work for MSNBC, Weigel is now under a one-year contact with WaPo’s corporate sibling Slate to be a political reporter and start a new politics blog, The Upshot’s Michael Calderone is reporting and Weigel confirmed in a tweet... http://www.mediaite.com/online/this-is-ready-dave-weigel-has-more-work-than-ever-now-that-hes-joining-slate/

The Tentacle: “It Ain’t Necessarily So” - Daniel Schorr, August 31, 1916-July 23, 2010 by Kevin Dayhoff

July 28, 2010

“It Ain’t Necessarily So”

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Lost in the pseudo-intellectual psychobabble noise that passes as the news these days, journalism lost one of its greats last week – Daniel Schorr, August 31, 1916-July 23, 2010.

Mr. Schorr’s amazing career spanned more than 70 years – from the latter years of the Great Depression, through World War II, the McCarthy era, the Cold War, the rise of cable television and the introduction of the news business to cable television and the technology era... http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=3885

The Tentacle - "Two for the Road" by Farrell Keough

"Two for the Road" by Farrell Keough

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=3881

Farrell Keough has penned a thoughtful column in The Tentacle worthy of your attention about the upcoming Frederick County elections:

July 27, 2010 "Two for the Road" by Farrell Keough

“This column may come as a shock to some, as it will be about Those People! In fact, it will not only be about Those People, but will actually promote a couple of Those People! I speak, of course, about Democrats.

Like it or not, they exist and live among us. Why they chose that particular ideology is indiscernible, but they have made their choice. And what’s more, they constitute a large portion of our voting public. To that end, there are two running for different offices that have piqued interest – Brad Young running for Frederick County Board of Education and Michael Kurtianyk running for Frederick Board of County Commissioners… More: http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=3881

The cat and the deer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IBEi2h7YIU

Such wonderful photography.... Watch full screen, if you can.

I received this from Grammy in an e-mail. I did not make the video and I do not know who did – it is owned by someone else. I just know that the ole softy in me wanted to share it…

Oh, I have found that it is apparently from the movie “The Adventures of Milo and Otis.” Watch it and enjoy quickly before the copyright thugs make sure that you are NOT introduced to the great Louis Armstrong or his rendition of “What a Wonderful World” or the movie “The Adventures of Milo and Otis.”

Meanwhile more information about the movie “The Adventures of Milo and Otis” may be found at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Milo-Otis-Masanori-Hata/dp/B00000JL8E.

More information about Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” may be found at http://www.amazon.com/What-Wonderful-World-Louis-Armstrong/dp/B000003N4G/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1280257907&sr=1-1-fkmr1

YouTube informs me that this video, "... 20100727 cat_deer.avi, may have content that is owned or licensed by Sony Music Entertainment." If Sony does not pull it - go out and buy the Louis Armstrong CD
