On Election Eve 2004,1 watched John Kerry come on stage in a municipal park in Cleveland, introduced by [Bruce Springsteen], his new friend and traveling companion. Springsteen, who had long lent his voice and talent to social change efforts, was nearing the end of his first political campaign. Appalled by the Bush administration's abandonment of what he considered to be American values, Springsteen formed Vote for Change, a collection of musicians committed to a single goal: replacing George W Bush and Dick Cheney with John Kerry and John Edwards. Kerry spoke, Springsteen sang and everyone went to bed to await the outcome. Yet [Ted Koppel]'s question was way off base. He wasn't talking to Wayne Newton or the Beach Boys. For 35 years Springsteen has been writing poignantly about people ...

[Scott Darling]'s second goal is to get some sense of the total number of bats that use Elizabeth Mine. On a warm summer night two years ago, volunteers here trapped about 600 bats in two hours. That number is comparable to the number of bats caught at the entrance to Dorset Cave on Mt. Aeolus in southern Vermont. Dorset Cave is the largest known hibernaculum in the state, home to at least 23,000 bats. In parts of that cave, the walls and ceilings are completely covered with dense bat colonies. "It's a pretty cool place if you like bats," Darling notes, "and pretty horrific if you don't. A self-described "bat junkie," [Kim Hall] talks to bats the way other people address kittens or puppies, calling them "cutie," "sweetheart" and "girlfriend." She wears a sweatshirt decorated with g...
If you want your kid to come out of college and start paying off the college loan immediately, don't send your darling to UCLA, Johns Hopkins or Amherst. No, MapQuest your young scholar to Rockville Centre because the starting salary for Molloy College grads is $64,000, higher than starting pay for grads from the prestigious schools listed above.
[Ann Coulter] said [Chris Christie] is the only GOP candidate that could defeat an expected reelection bid by [Barack Obama]. She was a keynote speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this past weekend in Washington. Other leading national Republican leaders, including Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former presidential candidate John McCain and Tea Party darling Sarah Palin would not stand a chance against Obama in 2012. "If we don't run Chris Christie, Romney will be the nominee and we'll lose," Coulter said during her speech. The numbers come at a time when Christie continues to battle the state teacher's union regarding sizable state funding cuts and other cost-cutting measures in an effort to balance the Garden State's financial woes.
Calm down, [Yitz]," says [Sam]. "I know of a great plumber by the name of Dennis who has done good work for me in the past. He's very efficient, very polite and extremely reliable. I'll phone him for you. "Don't I know it," says Dennis. "That's what I used to charge my patients when I was in my practice." "Don't worry, darling," replies Rabbi Landau, "I'll take the offending rock out of the choient, I'll examine it straight away in my laboratory, and I'll give you my ruling."
While there is some sense of probability regarding a period (post-2010) of relative uncertainty, individuals still need to plan, said Roberts, adding that amid all the question marks lie some simple truths - such as the state's estate tax, which isn't going anywhere, and the fact that, while $2 million or $3.5 million may sound like big numbers, in this day and age, they aren't, especially for business owners, and people who may not think they're in the 'wealthy' category still need to pay attention to the death tax. "The estate tax really only impacts about 1% of the population, although that number is rising slightly, but Congress still doesn't want to give up that revenue," said Darling, adding that charities are worried that there will less giving if people don't need the current c...
This time of year, I find myself waking up in a cold sweat, panicking about upcoming events. It's almost time to get ready to visit my mom's farm in the Bootheel. It's not that I don't like visiting my hometown. What I don't like is driving with Darling Christopher. Suddenly, he's more Chris Cranky than Darling.
Not many groups marry banjos, acoustic guitars and sunny harmonies with synthesizers and drum machines with the finesse of Cincinnati trio The Seedy Seeds. Some call it folktronica, or Appalachiatronica, but labels don't matter once you hear the indelible melodies and unique instrumentation created by Margaret Darling, Mike Ingram and Brian Penick. The Seedy Seeds formed as a duo in 2006, performing their country- folk influenced pop songs to drum machine backing tracks. When Penick joined in 2008, Darling and Ingram knew they wanted him to enhance the electronic beats, not replace them completely.
I don't think BradyQuinn would be everyone's Heisman darling if Urban Meyerwere running the spread option at Notre Dame.
Between what we now seem to be calling the Great Recession and our ever-evolving technology, shopping for the graduate is challenging this year. The traditional pen set or paperweight seems a bit tone deaf in an increasingly paperless society. Many of us are skittish about buying gift cards lest the stores they come from go under. And charming as it is, Dr. Seuss's "Oh, The Places You'll Go" seems destined for a flip-through on the way to a garage sale some day. Tech gifts and money often top lists: A kindle, or portable e- book, magazine and newspaper reader, is much desired but pricey. Imagine my perplexion when I misheard one recipient say she was getting a "Ken doll." An artsy friend of mine takes the chill off of giving cash by fashioning "money roses," for which how-tos are all ov...
