Tina Brown Defends Newsweek Editorship As It Comes To A Bitter End

With Tina Brown's grand Newsweek experiment having come to a close, the New York Times took its inevitable look at what went so wrong in its Monday edition.

The magazine was sold off after a year in which Brown said it was an "insane," romantic idea to have taken it on in the first place, and owner Barry Diller flatly called the decision a "mistake."

Despite high-profile hires and a stream of highly divisive covers, nobody seemed to be able to make Newsweek work again. It will now move into the hands of the relatively little-known IBT Media, which will make as-yet-unspecified changes?and, possibly, further cuts. Brown now returns her focus completely to The Daily Beast.

All in all, it's a sad ending, though one that seemed foretold, especially when Newsweek's print edition shut down at the end of 2012.

The Times article will not make for happy reading for anyone involved in the magazine. It paints Brown as over-optimistic and in over her head, and describes her management style as an unending "state of panic" more suited to the days when print titles were drowning in cash.

For her part, Brown looked on the bright side, telling the paper, "It was really exhilarating. We did great journalism."

The Collegian ? Castro family moves in to University House

Fresno State President Joseph Castro unpacks his two-year-son?s toys in their new home, the University House, on Saturday. Roe Borunda/The Collegian

Fresno State President Joseph Castro, his wife Mary and their youngest son finished moving in to the University House on Saturday.

The 7,300-square-foot, 72-year-old home where the university president is required to live is located off Van Ness Boulevard.

Castro said Saturday was with first time he was able to step foot in his new home.

The family?s belongings came in from the Bay Area, where Castro served as UC San Francisco?s vice chancellor of student academic affairs, on Monday and were placed in their designated rooms in the house on Thursday.

Castro, wearing shorts, and his wife wiped down shelves and unpacked boxes, a contrast from what he said were a busy recent few days.

The house was ready to move in to on Thursday, Castro?s first day of work as the university?s president.

?There was no way I could move in on that day, so today [Saturday] is my first day [where] we could really get into our boxes and things.?

Castro?s daughter, Lauren, was in Fresno to help unpack and get the home ready before heading back to school at Humboldt State for the fall semester, he said.

Most of the furniture that furnished the house was more than 20 years old and was replaced and remodeled. Former Fresno State President John Welty lived in the house for 22 years.

New additions were made to accommodate the Castro family?s youngest son, Jess, said Castro. A fence was built around the backyard pool for safety.

The costs of the home improvements and renovations totaled an estimated $125,000 funded with state and private funds, according to a university release.

?Jess has been learning how to swim,? Castro said. ?We didn?t have a pool in the Bay Area and I am looking forward to swimming.?

There were parts of the renovated University House that reminded Castro of his childhood home in Hanford.

?When I first came in and saw these [kitchen knobs]. These are the same handles my grandparents had in their kitchen when I was a kid. It is amazing.? Castro said. ?My mother?s parents raised me with my mother.?

Moving back to the Valley, Castro said he was happy to be closer to his family, especially his mother, who lives in Hanford.

?It is hard when you live far from your parents.? Castro said. ?I would try to get here once or twice a month and now it is just nice to see each other more and to talk on the phone.?

Castro said he received the keys to the renovated house Saturday morning, and plans to add personal touches to the home.

?There is a pool table in the basement that I am looking forward to and I am going to get a ping-pong table for outside,? Castro said. ?I am thinking this front yard would be good for pick up football games.

?This is real life; you hear the baby crying, it?s like a regular house,? Castro said. ?I have been in a suit and tie since Thursday so it is kind of nice to be in shorts.?

Mexico archdiocese investigating possible Eucharistic miracle

Mexico City, Mexico, Aug 2, 2013 / 12:33 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Msgr. Ramiro Valdes Sanchez, vicar general of Guadalajara, Mexico, has announced that the archdiocese is investigating a possible Eucharistic miracle that reportedly took place last week.?

Msgr. Valdes Sanchez said he has received instructions from the archbishop of Guadalajara, Cardinal Jose Francisco Robles Ortega, to direct the investigation.

The pastor of Mary Mother of the Church, Father Jose Dolores Castellanos Gudino, said that on July 24, while he was kneeling in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, he saw a flash of light and heard a voice.

?Ring the bells so that everyone comes,? the voice allegedly instructed. ?I will pour blessings upon those present and the entire day. Take your small tabernacle for private adoration to the parish altar and put the large monstrance next to the small tabernacle. Don?t open the tabernacle until three in the afternoon, not before.??

?I will perform a miracle in the Eucharist,? the voice continued, ?the miracle that will take place will be called, ?Miracle of the Eucharist in the incarnation of love together with our Mother and Lady.? Copy the image that I will give you now and show it to others.??

The voice then reportedly told him to share this with all of his priests to aid in their conversion and that he would fill all souls with blessings.

Fr. Gudino said that after hearing the voice he could only say, ?My Lord, I am your servant, let your will be done.?

With local people gathered at 3 p.m., he recounted that he ?approached the tabernacle and upon opening it the host consecrated by Our Lord Jesus Christ was covered in blood.?

According to the priest, the voice also told him to establish an adoration chapel and to allow any scientific study necessary to confirm the miracle.

Msgr. Sanchez said samples from the host will be studied in Guadalajara.?

?First of all the testimony needs to be gathered from three people who were present, obviously in this case from the pastor,? he explained.

He also said that a team of experts will be assembled to investigate whether there is a scientific explanation for the phenomenon.

?While this is occurring, the Church in Guadalajara, through the Cardinal Archbishop, has said that the Host should not be exposed to the public and that it be kept in a safe place, in a tabernacle,? he added.

?The Catholic Church?s legal doctrine states that when an extraordinary, uncommon event occurs, the necessary precautions should be taken to determine if the event can be explained by natural causes or if a more serious investigation is necessary to determine if it goes beyond the natural and whether or not it should be considered a miraculous event,? he explained.

From soybeans to baseball, Henry has had success

BOSTON (AP) ? John W. Henry took a backward ballclub in a dilapidated park and transformed it into a two-time World Series champion that is one of baseball's model franchises.

As the owner of The Boston Globe, he will try to turn around a newspaper that ? like many other major metro dailies ? is shedding staff, subscribers and advertisers as it makes the transition into the Internet age.

Henry agreed to buy the Globe along with the Worcester Telegram & Gazette and the Boston Metro for $70 million, a fraction of the $1.1 billion The New York Times Co. paid 20 years ago. Henry apparently made this deal without his Red Sox partners, though he said in a statement that more information will soon be available "concerning those joining me in this community commitment and effort."

The son of southern Illinois soybean farmers now worth an estimated $1.5 billion, Henry was a minority owner of the New York Yankees and the sole owner of the Florida Marlins when he led a group that bought the Red Sox for $660 million in 2002. (The original group included The New York Times, which sold the last of its 17.5 percent ownership last year.)

They soon set out to preserve Fenway Park while taking a wrecking ball to most everything else that had mired the franchise in failure for more than eight decades.

Henry, who made his money by taking a mathematical approach to the commodities markets, brought a similar method to the baseball diamond, hiring the statistically savvy Theo Epstein, then 28 years-old, as the youngest general manager in baseball history. They hired statistical pioneer Bill James as a consultant, putting the Red Sox at the forefront of the revolution that had just begun to take hold in front offices long dominated by old-time and hidebound scouting types.

But, perhaps more importantly, the new owners turned what had long been a stagnant family business into a revenue spigot.

They took NESN, which had been almost exclusively an outlet for Red Sox and Boston Bruins games, into a full-fledged sports network. (Not every effort ? like the sports-themed dating show "Sox Appeal" ? was a success.) And they spent more than $285 million turning the once-doomed Fenway Park into a modern ? well, as modern as a 100-year-old ballpark can be, anyway ? sporting venue.

With seats above the Green Monster and a roof deck in right field, a high-tech scoreboard and new concourses and concessions, Fenway sold out 820 consecutive games ? by official count, anyway ? the longest such streak in professional sports history. Thousands more file through the turnstiles 12 months a year, paying up to $16 just to see the park when it is empty.

Though fans sometimes chafed at the team's new businesslike approach, the initiatives helped pay for a player payroll that grew from $75.5 million in 2000 to more than $130 million by 2004. That year, the Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in 86 years, ending one of the longest title droughts in sports.

They won again three years later.

Henry was also a different kind of owner than Bostonians had grown accustomed to.

While most owners of the local franchises had treated their teams like family fiefdoms or corporate cash registers ? or both ? Henry engaged with fans, chatting with them on Internet message boards (he would also became an early adopter on Twitter). He spent less time in his luxury box and more in his dugout-side seats, and was once seen running the bases on the Fenway diamond with the woman who is now his wife.

And Henry kept looking beyond baseball.

Through a sister company, the Red Sox owners bought into NASCAR as co-owners of Roush Fenway Racing; soccer, by purchasing the Liverpool FC of the English Premier League; and basketball, through a sponsorship deal with LeBron James. Their business offshoot, known as New England Sports Ventures, has also dabbled in marketing for college sports and professional golf.

In buying a newspaper, Henry enters an industry in turmoil and joins a progression of publishers who have tried to figure out how to balance the free-flowing information of the internet with the costs of quality journalism.

While providing no clues, Henry vowed to try.

"The Boston Globe's award-winning journalism as well as its rich history and tradition of excellence have established it as one of the most well-respected media companies in the country," he said in his statement. "This is a thriving, dynamic region that needs a strong, sustainable Boston Globe playing an integral role in the community's long-term future."

Teachers union wants Indiana A-F school grades suspended

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? The American Federation of Teachers says Indiana should immediately suspend its A-F school grading system because of emails showing former schools chief Tony Bennett and his staff changed the grading formula to benefit a top GOP donor?s school.

The union issued its call at a Statehouse news conference Thursday, just hours after Bennett resigned as Florida?s education commissioner.

Indiana uses A-F grades to determine which schools get taken over by the state and whether students seeking state-funded vouchers to attend private school need to first spend a year in public school. They also help determine how much state funding schools receive.

The grades? validity has been questioned since The Associated Press disclosed emails showing Bennett and his staff worked to raise Christel House Academy from a C to an A.

Denzel Washington returning to Broadway for "A Raisin in the Sun"

Denzel Washington is returning to Broadway -- but he won't be singing when he's there.

Standing with his wife, Pauletta Pearson, on the red carpet Monday at the premiere his new movie, "2 Guns," the Oscar- and Tony-winning actor said he's set to appear in a revival of Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun."

"We start previews in March," he said.

Washington then explained his motivation for returning to the stage.

"I'm trying to keep up with my wife. My wife has been doing a lot more theater than me," he said as Pearson smiled.

Washington said they were heading to North Carolina for the National Black Theatre Festival, where Pearson is starring in the award-winning "Power Play."

"I'm looking forward to one day singing," Washington said playfully to Pearson's amusement. "See, I just wanted to get something out of her. She knows I can't sing. But she can sing."

As they walked away, the 58-year-old actor continued: "I can sing. I can sing ... in the shower."

Washington won a Tony Award in 2010 for his leading role in the play "Fences."

Instant View - Bank of England makes no change to policy

LONDON (Reuters) - Following are reactions to the Bank of England's decision to make no changes at its second policy meeting under new governor Mark Carney which ended on Thursday, keeping interest rates at 0.5 percent and leaving its bond-buying programme on ice.

The BoE also made no announcement about an expected shift in strategy under which the central bank could start providing guidance on how long interest rates are likely to stay at their record low.

MELANIE BOWLER, MOODY'S ANALYTICS

"Bank-watchers are eagerly anticipating the introduction of forward guidance for monetary policy, but will have to wait another month before any new strategy is officially introduced.

"We expect the bank will move towards the use of date-specific forward guidance for monetary policy. That is to say, the bank is expected to explicitly tell markets how long it expects to hold rates at current levels.

"Such a new communication policy will help prevent premature monetary tightening which risks knocking the tentative recovery off track. The policy is aimed at preventing any unwarranted upcreep in borrowing costs. Gilt yields and the 3-month Libor interest rate have trended upwards in recent months, injecting some unwelcome monetary tightening into the U.K. economy."

HOWARD ARCHER, IHS GLOBAL INSIGHT

"The Bank of England was always unlikely to act at the August MPC meeting given next Wednesday's assessment on adopting a policy of forward guidance. Furthermore, the ongoing stream of improved news on the UK economy - evident again in the healthy manufacturing purchasing managers survey for July - suggests that the economy is not in need of any further stimulus for now at least.

"however, the improved news on the UK economy could be seen as highlighting the need for the Bank to make it absolutely clear that interest rates are not going to go up for some considerable time to come - so is supportive to the case for adopting forward guidance on monetary policy.

"We have little doubt that forward guidance on monetary policy is about to become a key policy lever for the Bank. While some MPC members have expressed concerns over forward guidance, the Bank governor Mark Carney is a strong advocate and he will highly likely be able to gain overall support from the committee for such a policy."

VICKY REDWOOD, CAPITAL ECONOMICS

"Today's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting was always looking likely to be a non-event ahead of the announcement about forward guidance due next week. Our best guess is that the MPC will commit to keep official interest rates low until an unemployment threshold is breached."

DAVID KERN, BCC

"The MPC made the right decision to hold interest rates and quantitative easing. Quarterly growth has been confirmed at 0.6% for the second quarter, the manufacturing PMI figure for July was strong, and there are signs that the eurozone economy is beginning to stabilise. This increases the likelihood that the UK economy will continue to grow at a moderate pace in the third quarter.

"Minutes from the recent MPC meeting suggest that QE is unlikely to be increased any time soon and low interest rates will be maintained for a long period, which will provide a stable environment for businesses.

"We continue to urge the MPC to consider new policy measures to help boost business lending. For example, the existing QE programme could be used to purchase private sector assets other than gilts, including securitized SME loans, as this would reduce the risk when banks are looking to lend to business."

Actelion buys U.S.-based firm with cancer drug in development

ZURICH (Reuters) - Actelion said it will acquire Ceptaris, a privately held U.S.-based specialty pharmaceutical company developing a topical drug, Valchlor, to treat a form of cancer.

Allschwil-based Actelion said it already paid Ceptaris $25 million and will pay another $225 million when the deal closes. The deal is contingent on Valchlor clinching approval from the U.S. health regulator.

"We expect the transaction to become cash-accretive before the end of 2014," Actelion executive Nicholas Franco said in a statement on Wednesday.

Drugmakers cheer 'speed lane' for breakthrough therapies

By Toni Clarke

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new regulatory pathway could shave years off the traditional drug approval process in the United States, according to some companies whose drugs have been given "breakthrough therapy" designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Speaking at a briefing in Washington to raise awareness of the drug review process, Dr. Jay Siegel, head of global regulatory affairs at Johnson & Johnson, said he expects two years to be knocked off the time it would typically take the FDA to review ibrutinib, the company's experimental cancer drug.

To be granted breakthrough designation, an experimental drug must show early indication of clinical improvement over existing therapies, even if the clinical trial is small. It might apply, for example, to a new type of cancer drug that shows strong early promise.

J&J's ibrutinib, which it is developing with Pharmacyclics Inc, would be the first in a class of oral medicines that block a protein known as Bruton's tyrosine kinase. It is being developed for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma and for patients with mantle cell lymphoma, both cancers of the blood.

Dr. Jeffrey Leiden, the chief executive of Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc, who also spoke at the briefing and whose cystic fibrosis drug Kalydeco was given the designation after approval, said his company's experience working with the FDA was dramatically different from the normal drug approval process.

Under breakthrough designation, he said, "everything is on the table" for discussion in order to move the process along as quickly as possible. Communications that might typically take weeks and months, under the breakthrough pathway take minutes.

"We pick up the phone and talk in real time," Leiden said. "It makes the process immeasurably smoother."

The breakthrough pathway was spearheaded by Friends of Cancer Research, a patient advocacy organization. It received bipartisan support in Congress and was signed into law in July 2012. As of July 12, the FDA had received 67 requests for breakthrough designation. It had granted 24 and denied 18.

Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's drugs division, said during the discussion that the breakthrough pathway was designed to accommodate new science, particularly targeted therapies that may work in people with certain genetic mutations. She noted that just because the review process is speeded up there is no guarantee of approval.

In the 1990s, she said, the agency was not seeing drugs whose promise could be detected in early clinical trials.

"We didn't see these therapies in Phase I or II where you said 'bingo,' you've got a likely winner," she said.

Still, there are challenges associated with speeding up a drug's development timeline. For one thing, other nations might not be willing to approve the products based on the FDA's more flexible clinical trial standards under the breakthrough designation.

"Our hope is that foreign regulators will catch up," Siegel said.

Moreover, he said, it is not clear that insurers will pay for drugs if the data do not show improved survival or other clear benefit they are used to seeing when drugs are approved. One task, he said is to figure out "how to bring payors on board."

The panelists did not discuss what happens once a drug reaches the market under the breakthrough designation.

Under a separate pathway known as "accelerated approval" drugs may be approved based on a so-called surrogate endpoint - a measure, such as tumor shrinkage - that might reasonably be expected to confer a clinical benefit such as improved survival.

Companies that win approval for a product under the accelerated approval process are required subsequently to prove through further clinical trials that the surrogate measure does in fact correlate with improved survival or a reduction in disease symptoms.

"A discussion on this topic is reckless if it doesn't discuss the next stage after the drug reaches the market," said Sidney Wolfe, co-founder and senior adviser to Public Citizen's Health Research Group, a watchdog organization that has frequently criticized the FDA for approving, or failing to withdraw, drugs it considers unsafe.

Woodcock said the FDA is now working to develop a mechanism to speed the development of breakthrough diagnostics that can be used in conjunction with new drugs to help identify which patients will respond to a particular therapy.

(This story corrects paragraph 5 to shows Kalydeco was given designation after, not before, approval)

Grants, scholarships key to paying for college

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Grants and scholarships are taking a leading role in paying college bills, surpassing the traditional role parents long have played in helping foot the bills, according to a report from loan giant Sallie Mae

Since the recession, more college-bound students have eliminated schools from their searches based on costs and have relied less on their parents once they get to campus, said the report released Tuesday. Worries such as tuition increases and job losses seem to have faded as the economy has improved, yet parents and students still make decisions on schools, majors and work schedules based on the price tag.

"We have moved into a post-recession reality in how people pay for college," said Sarah Ducich, Sallie Mae's senior vice president for public policy.

College spending per student was about $21,000 during 2012, down from a peak of $24,000 in 2010, according to the Sallie Mae-Ipsos Public Affairs report.

The annual survey of student financial aid found students earned about $6,300 in grants and scholarships to pay for college costs, taking the top spots from parents. Student loans were the third most common source to pick up the bill for courses, housing and books.

The average student borrowed $8,815 in federal loans.

The rate for those loans was the subject of debate in the Senate last week, as lawmakers considered a compromise that would offer some students lower rates for the next few years but would prescribe higher rates for future classes. The Senate is expected to vote on that compromise this week.

Last year, the average family turned to grants and scholarships to cover 30 percent of college costs. Parents' income and savings covered 27 percent of the bill and student borrowing covered 18 percent.

"Parents are willing to stretch themselves," Ducich said "It's not that they're willing to pay. It's that their income is not keeping up."

Parents' enthusiasm for college has not shriveled, though. The survey found 85 percent of parents saw college bills as an investment in their children's future.

"We're in a new normal where big ticket items like college, families will pay for them but won't stress about them too much," said Cliff Young, managing director at Ipsos.

One-fifth of parents added work hours to pay for college and half of students increased their work hours, too. The report found 57 percent of families said students were living at home or with relatives, up from 41 percent last year and 44 percent in 2011.

Among other strategies employed to deal with costs:

? One-fifth of students from low-income families chose to transfer to less expensive schools.

? About one-fifth of students said they changed majors to fields that were expected to be more marketable upon graduation.

? In all, 67 percent of students and their families eliminated colleges at some stage during the application process because of costs, up from 58 percent in 2008.

"It forced them to adopt new behaviors of savings and ways to find nickels and dimes," Young said.

The tuition sticker price at public four-year colleges is up 27 percent beyond overall inflation over the last five years, according to the latest figures from a separate study from the College Board. This past year it rose nearly 5 percent to an average of $8,655 nationwide. Including room and board, the average sticker price at public colleges is now $17,860, and students pay on average $12,110. At private four-year colleges, the average full tuition price is now just under $40,000, with the average student paying $23,840.

What does that mean for the average college student?

About two-thirds of the national college class of 2011 had loan debt at graduation, and their debt averaged $26,600, according to the most recent figures from the California-based Institute for College Access and Success. That was an increase of about 5 percent from the class before them.

The Ipsos telephone poll was conducted between April 10 and May 9 with 1,802 parents of undergraduate students and 800 18- to 24-year-old undergraduate students. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

PEPPER PIKE, Ohio -- A tornado packing 110 mph winds hit Ursuline College in northeast Ohio early Saturday morning, collapsing a wall of the school's athletic center and damaging other buildings but causing no injuries, officials said.

The EF1 twister hit about 3:35 a.m. northwest of the college and continued across part of the campus, said meteorologist William Comeaux of the National Weather Service in Cleveland. It reached 100-200 yards wide and traveled 1.3 miles.

Only a few students were on campus at the time, and they weren't close to the athletic center that was hardest hit, a college spokeswoman said.

"The blessing is that there was no loss of life or injury," Sister Diana Stano, president of the 1,500-student school about 13 miles east of Cleveland said on the college's website.

No one answered the main number for the college Saturday evening, but a recorded message said the campus was closed Saturday and Sunday to assess the damage.

The storm caused an external wall of the school's O'Brien Athletic Center to collapse and destroyed part of the roof. It also damaged several other buildings, including the Dauby Science Center and the Ralph M. Besse Library. Many trees were uprooted or destroyed and other campus facilities had minor damage.

College spokeswoman Angela DelPrete said only about five students were on campus at the time and they were about 1,000 feet from the gymnasium. She described debris scattered around the campus and broken windows. Weather service photos showed roof tiles torn away on the gymnasium exposing splintered wood and support beams.

Stano told The Plain Dealer that Ursuline was accepted as an NCAA Division II school only last week.

"Now we don't have a place to play," she said.

Ursuline was founded by Roman Catholic nuns as the first women's college in Ohio. Men now also attend the school.

Despite the damage Saturday, Comeaux said, "It's a beautiful area with lots of trees."

He said it's been about two years since a tornado has touched down in the region; the state averages 17-19 tornadoes per year. A disaster relief fund will be established to help rebuild the campus, the website said.

Israel's Netanyahu says peace talks will be tough

JERUSALEM -- Israeli and Palestinian officials voiced skepticism Sunday that they can move toward a peace deal, as the sides inched toward what may be the first round of significant negotiations in five years.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced late last week that an agreement has been reached that establishes the basis for resuming peace talks. He cautioned that such an agreement still needs to be formalized, suggesting that gaps remain.

In his first on-camera comment Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to lower expectations by saying the talks will be tough and any agreement would have to be ratified by Israelis in a national referendum.

Netanyahu pledged to insist on Israel's security needs above all ? saying his main guiding principles will be to maintain a Jewish majority in Israel and avoid a future Palestinian state in the West Bank becoming an Iranian-backed "terror state."

A lifelong hawk, Netanyahu has been a reluctant latecomer to the idea of Palestinian statehood, and his critics say he uses the pretext of security to avoid engaging in good-faith negotiations.

"I am committed to two objectives that must guide the result ? if there will be a result. And if there will be a result, it will be put to a national referendum," he said at the start of his weekly Cabinet meeting. "It won't be easy. But we are entering the talks with integrity, honesty, and hope that this process is handled responsibly, seriously and to the point."

Hardliners have floated referendum proposals before, usually as an attempt to add an additional obstacle to any efforts to cede war-won territories as part of a future peace agreement.

Palestinian officials were silent Sunday.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has not spoken about the possible resumption of negotiations since Kerry's announcement Friday. In an attempt to restrict official Palestinian comment, Abbas' office said only two top aides, Nabil Abu Rdeneh and Yasser Abed Rabbo would be allowed to speak to reporters. Neither was available Sunday.

Abbas had previously refused to negotiate with Israel so long as settlement construction continued in part of his hoped-for state. Netanyahu countered by saying he would only enter talks without preconditions.

The two sides are now set to hold more talks in Washington in coming days or weeks on the framework of negotiations, meaning a resumption of talks is not yet assured.

Gaps remain on three issues Palestinians say need to be settled before talks can begin ? the baseline for border talks, the extent of a possible Israeli settlement slowdown and a timetable for releasing veteran Palestinian prisoners.

The Palestinians want to establish a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, territories Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast War. Abbas seeks a commitment from Netanyahu that Israel's pre-1967 border will serve as a baseline for negotiations, but the Israeli leader has refused to do so. Previous rounds of negotiations were conducted on those lines.

Two Palestinian officials said Saturday that Abbas agreed to resume talks only after Kerry gave him a letter guaranteeing that the pre-1967 borders would serve as a baseline. The officials, privy to internal discussions, spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.

A Western official denied the 1967 borders would be the starting point for negotiators.

10 Ways to Avoid Becoming a Sales Robot - Small Business Trends

?Hi, this is Ted and I?m from X Corporation. Do you have a few minutes??

I?m immediately up in arms. I know he wants to sell me something that I am 99% sure I do not want to buy (for the record, I?ve never made a purchase from someone cold calling me).

Can you relate??What is it about sales that puts us on guard? Why do salespeople do such a bad job of connecting with customers and of making us feel like they?re helping us?

If you?re in sales (and as a small business owner, you probably are in one way or another), take these tips to heart, and see if you get better results.

1. Know Your Lead

This is a mantra rarely actually heeded. I don?t mean ?take a quick look at your lead?s website.? I mean actually dig down and find out what each individual lead?s pain points are.

Big data means we?ve got big access to information about buyers? behaviors online, so use it to your advantage.

2. Find a Way Around the Cold Call

In my opening example, I showed that many people (including me) don?t respond well to cold calls. How better could a salesperson reach me?

He could comment on my blog posts. Tweet me. Show he?s paying attention to my world. Then at least he?d start with a warm call.

3. Don?t Assume You Know What Your Customer Wants

I once had someone call me to sell me a copier. Keep in mind: I?m pretty much a one-woman show, working out of my home. Why on earth would I buy a $10,000 copier?

This also goes back to #1.

4. Pull, Don?t Push

This is where the lines between marketing and sales blur. If marketing does an excellent job of luring in leads with great content online and through social media, sales will be easier.

Consumers have changed. They are tired of having sales messages beaten into their heads. They want to make their own decisions.

5. Never Tweet Salesy Stuff

In general, what you learn on my ?10 Ways to Avoid Becoming a Social Media Robot? post are good rules to follow. No one will read your tweet, ?Our product is amazing! Buy it now!? and take action. No one.

Focus instead on building trust with the right audience. Do that by delivering useful content and interacting.

6. Use Your CRM

As a salesperson, your game has to be top-notch. No mistakes. That means you need to know everything about a lead and you need to know if this lead has been contacted before. I?ve been contacted by two different people in the same organization within a week. I wasn?t interested the first time, but the second time, I was livid.

A simple look at your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform can tell you if someone else on your team has already reached out.

7. Get Off The Script

Just like cold calls are a turnoff, so are scripts. I?m human and so are you. Let?s talk like it. You?ll find that by having a real conversation ? even if it?s not directly about your product ? you?ll always find something out about your lead that can help you form a bond and close the sale.

I wish they?d ban sales scripts entirely.

8. Know What the Left Hand is Doing

Again, sales and marketing are closely tied. But if sales doesn?t know what marketing is doing, results can be disastrous. Historically, there?s been a disconnect between sales and marketing, but these days, that leaves you vulnerable.

Hold regular meetings with the two departments and work together toward common goals.

9. Focus on Benefits, Not Features

This is sales mistake #1. Salespeople think the features of their products are what sells them. Customers want benefits. They want solutions to their problems.

If you can?t speak on how your product can solve those problems, you?re in the wrong profession.

10. Listen

I?ve never known a salesperson at a loss for words. Yet, listening is probably the best sales tool ever.

Like I said in #7, simply having a conversation ? and actually listening to the person you?re conversing with ? will get you further than any slick sales talk ever could.

A bad alliance: Rare immune cells promote food-induced allergic inflammation in the esophagus

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Until recently, how EoE, a food allergy-associated disease, developed was unclear, but a new study shows that a type of rare immune cell and specific reactions to allergenic foods team up -- in a bad way. This association does point to new ways to possibly treat inflammation associated with EoE.

98% 20 Feet From Stardom

All Critics (65) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (63) | Rotten (1)

The movie takes its cues from Standing in the Shadows of Motown, another act of pop-culture revisionism that tried to give musical credit where it was due.

Just about everything in this movie is right. And anybody who gives a rip about unsung heroines of popular music and giving credit when credit's overdue had better come up with a good excuse not to see it.

You may never hear the Rolling Stones's Gimme Shelter the same way again after hearing Jagger's and Clayton's separate accounts of the recording of the song.

The enthusiasm and love of music on display is just unavoidable. "20 Feet" may not get the whole story, but it gets some good ones.

Music documentarian Morgan Neville uses a mix of live interviews and archival footage to let the singers, and their music, tell their stories of vocal triumph and thwarted ambition.

You know all those doo-doo-doos and whoa-whoas-whoas you hear in pop hits? Without them, supplied by the likes of Darlene Love and Merry Clayton, you likely wouldn't be singing along to the songs you hear on your car radio.

This fantastic glimpse into the lives of background singers, old and new, directed by Morgan Neville, is completely mesmerizing.

It is a total pleasure, a rare treat, to listen and watch old footage of these indispensable performers belt out their melodies and harmonies. They are truly pioneers that helped shape the world of music for generations to come.

This is a fascinating doc for pop, soul, R&B and rock fans, for it peels back the often unfair layers of the music business like the skins on an onion. Sometimes, it'll make you cry to witness how terribly these talents were treated.

It's important to finally put names and faces to the voices of these women because, without them, countless songs would sound horrible.

Neville's greatest strength is as a historian, able to sort through a wealth of details to find the pieces he needs to tell one clear, compelling story.

Salutes songs that wouldn't work without the back-ups and, in effect, turn us all into back-up singers.

Not the deepest documentary you're likely to come across this year -- in fact, it's not deep at all -- but it may well be the most enjoyable one.

The transcendent joy and agonizing heartbreak of making music - and trying to make it in music - have seldom been captured as vividly as in "20 Feet from Stardom."

If music has the power to connect, "Twenty Feet From Stardom" shows it's those backup voices making the connection.

Lovers of classic R&B and rock will never get tired of revisiting this movie and its bonanza of performance footage.

For once, the spotlight shines on these brilliant women who spent most of their careers on the outskirts of fame with minimal fortune to show for their efforts.

Jubilant, informative, and teeming with iconic music, 20 Feet from Stardom is a riveting sit, blasting a spotlight on singers worthy of the intense heat.

Following Fisher and Hill verit? style on their busy days freshens the nostalgia. . . Informative and entertaining, gives well-deserved r-e-s-p-e-c-t. No auto-tuning or dubs.

20 Feet from Stardom is a thorough--to the point of feeling a bit long--document on the craft.

Mayor Dell: Stick With Me And You?ll Be All Right

Posted to: Ansonia, Ansonia Election

Ansonia Mayor James Della Volpe accepted his party?s nod for an eighth term in office Thursday, and after thanking his family for sticking with him on what has been ?a rough ride at times,? delved straight into the hot-button issues of taxes and education.

The mayor called the hike to the mill rate passed by the city?s tax board in May a ?difficult but necessary tax increase that we were forced to undertake to preserve the gains in education that we helped create during the recent years.?

He then cast himself and his party as the true protectors of education in the city, and later chastised adversaries for making ?pithy remarks and shallow promises.?

?Both parties will talk about education this year,? Della Volpe said. ?The Democratic Party, working with some Republicans and independents, is the one that made the tough decision to pay to move it forward in a way that maximizes opportunities for the children of Ansonia.?

Della Volpe went on to list a number of things he wants to accomplish if voters return him to office, from knocking down the federally-subsidized housing project on Olson Drive to working with the new owners of the Farrel property on Main Street on a public-private redevelopment of the site.

Click the play button below to hear Della Volpe?s remarks in full.

About 70 Democrats gathered at Molto Bene Italian American Kitchen on Wakelee Avenue to nominate a slate of candidates.

Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Bart Flaherty nominated Della Volpe, saying the mayor has kept ?a steady hand at the wheel? during the greatest economic meltdown since the Great Depression.

Tara Kolakowski, government liaison in Della Volpe?s office and the city?s acting personnel director, seconded the nomination, saying Della Volpe embodies commitment, respect, and truthfulness.

?He bleeds Ansonia,? Kolakowski said. ?He?s been committed for the past 14 years, and he?ll continue that commitment for as long as we back him, and we will back him as long as he wants.?

?Honesty and integrity have been the cornerstone of his administration,? Flaherty said. ?His vision for Ansonia has never wavered, his accomplishments many.?

?Through his efforts we have one of the most vibrant downtowns in the Valley,? Flaherty said, noting a recent $480,000 grant awarded to the city to spruce up West Main Street.

Della Volpe also mentioned the grant during his speech, saying the city getting the money ?did not happen by coincidence.?

?It took a coordinated effort that will be the model for our future activities to rebuild our economy,? the mayor said.

One change for Della Volpe compared to his last election campaign: he will have an opponent, with Republican Dave Cassetti announcing a candidacy last month. Republicans will formally nominate a slate of candidates Tuesday.

?I?m looking forward to discussing the issues with David,? Della Volpe said after the caucus. ?As long as we discuss the issues.?

Elsewhere on the ticket, eight-term incumbent Town and City Clerk Madeline Bottone announced she?s retiring at the end of her current term, and nominated her assistant, Elizabeth Lynch, to take her spot.

?It was time for me,? Bottone, who before her 16 years in her current post was an assistant in the clerk?s office since 1981, said after the caucus, calling her decision ?bittersweet.?

Still, she said if Lynch wins in November, the clerk?s position will be ?in capable hands.?

?They?re big shoes to fill,? Lynch said of Bottone. ?She?s ben a great example to follow.?

Eileen Krugel, the chairperson of the Democratic Town Committee and the city?s grant writer, said the party?s slate has a strong mix of incumbents and new nominees ? like Sal Hanaif, currently a member of the Economic Development Commission nominated Thursday as candidate for Seventh Ward Alderman, and Noreen DeCiucis, nominated for a post on the Board of Education.

?We have a great team, we?ll just have to work hard,? Krugel said.

Here is the Democrats? full slate. An asterisk denotes an incumbent.
