“Brian Stelter, author of the NYT blog, The Media Decoder, “was having a really emotional experience watching it,” says Rossi}

In the January/February 2009 issue of The Atlantic, Michael Hirschorn rang the death knell of The New York Times with End Times, a seemingly trendy but alarming article likening the wave of digital reporting through social media to a hurricane that could wipe out the sandy dunes of “old media,” actual print newspapers like the Times. Pictures: The inside story “The Gray Lady,” a nickname given the paper for  its many words and few pictures, was facing drops in circulation, revenue and, ultimately,  staff by way of layoffs. It hadn’t quite got on board with integrating video and 포항출장업소 interactive features as it does today. Some at the time said, “Let it die,” according to Andrew Rossi, director of “Page One: An Inside Look at the New York Times.” Rossi set out to gain access to the paper with his video camera, access that The New York Times did not agree to readily. After months of negotiation, he got permission to film, alone, using an observational style of documentary, meaning acting like a fly on the wall as if he weren’t there. Rossi says, “I think what you see is a smart, robust group of people getting together to square off on stories, practicing the craft of journalism at a very high level.” Journalist David Carr would ask Rossi, “Did you get your ending yet, Rossi? You’re so f—ed”...

Millions of Americans have had to swear off shellfish, eggs, peanuts or soy to avoid allergic reactions that can range from stomach cramps to life-threatening swelling of the airways, new research shows. Approximately 4 percent of Americans have a food allergy, with women and Asians the most affected, the study found. “Recent reports suggest that food allergies are on the rise, with more food allergy-related hospitalizations in the U.S. over the last decade,” said lead researcher Dr. Li Zhou. She’s with the division of general medicine and primary care at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Food allergies cost the United States an estimated $25 billion annually, Zhou said. For the study, Zhou and her colleagues reviewed nearly 3 million medical records identifying more than 97,000 patients who suffered from one or more food allergies or an intolerance to a food. The most common allergy was to shellfish, such as shrimp and lobster, Zhou said. “In addition, 1 in 6 patients with a food allergy or intolerance had a documented anaphylaxis [life-threatening swelling of the airways],” she noted. Other common food allergies included fruits or vegetables, dairy and peanuts, the researchers found. Food allergies can lead to reactions such as hives, anaphylaxis, 라스베가스 카지노 후기 shortness of breath, wheezing, itching, swelling or allergic-like reactions called intolerances, Zhou said. Her team found that nearly 13,000 patients were allergic or had...

(AP) BEIJING – China suspended three officials and apologized to a woman who was forced to undergo an abortion seven months into her pregnancy in a case that sparked a public uproar after graphic photos of the mother and her dead baby were circulated online. The case has renewed criticism of China’s widely hated one-child limit, which, while designed to control the country’s exploding population, has led to often violently imposed forced abortions and sterilizations as local authorities pursue birth quotas set by Beijing. Feng Jianmei, 27, was beaten by officials and forced to abort the baby at seven months on June 2 because her family could not afford a 40,000 yuan ($6,300) fine for having a second child, Chinese media reported this week. Photos of her and the reportedly stillborn baby lying on a hospital bed were posted online and went viral, triggering a public outpouring of sympathy and outrage. The government of Ankang city, where Feng lives in northwest China’s Shaanxi province, said a deputy mayor visited Feng and her husband in the hospital, apologized to them and said officials would be suspended amid an investigation. “Today, I am here on behalf of the municipal government to see you and express our sincere apology to you. I hope to get your understanding,” Deputy Mayor Du Shouping said, according to a statement on the city government’s website Friday. The official Xinhua News Agency says three officials would be relieved of their duties: two top local family planning officials and the head of the township government. Xinhua said Feng was not legally entitled to a second child under China’s one-child limit, but added that late-term abortions are prohibited due to the risk of causing physical injury to the mother. “The correct way to deal with the case would have been for local officials to allow her to deliver the baby first, and then mete out punishment according to regulations,” the agency quoted an anonymous provincial family planning official as saying. Abuses by family planning officials are often a target for popular frustration, especially amid a growing sense among better-off Chinese that the government has no right to dictate how many children people should have. One reason that activist Chen Guangcheng enjoys a wider appeal within China than many other activists is that he and his wife documented complaints about forced abortions and sterilizations in the city that oversees his village. Among the cases were several women who said they were forced to have abortions within days of their due dates. Chen Guangcheng’s family face ongoing harassment The couple’s efforts angered local leaders. Chen was jailed and later placed under illegal house arrest, from which he fled six weeks ago in a daring escape. He is now living in New York with his wife and two young children. The government says the one-child policy has prevented an additional 400 million births in the world’s most populous country of 1.3 billion. Critics of the controls point out that it leads to a dangerously imbalanced sex ratio. Families abort girls out of a traditional preference for male heirs.

The 2004 indictment in the Southern District of Florida does not specify Beltran’s role in the drug-dealing case

(AP) MEXICO CITY – A panel of Mexican judges on Thursday agreed to the extradition of a suspected drug trafficker known as the “Queen of the Pacific,” who is wanted in the United States on cocaine-related charges. The three federal appellate judges said Sandra Avila Beltran could be tried outside of Mexico, but only on one of the two charges prosecutors sought. Avila cannot be tried for the seizure of more than nine tons of U.S.-bound cocaine off a vessel in Mexico’s western port of Manzanillo because a Mexican judge acquitted her in that case in December 2010. An appeals court upheld the verdict last August. Mexico: Reputed drug queen gets Botox in prisonMexican drug queen acquitted on trafficking charges Previous requests to extradite the high-profile suspect have been denied twice by a panel and then by a judge, who argued that the confiscation of the nine tons of cocaine would inevitably be part of the foreign trial. But the judges on Thursday ruled that Beltran has to answer to a charge stemming from several seizures in Chicago in 2001 that amounted to 100 kilograms of cocaine. The 2004 indictment in the Southern District of Florida does not specify Beltran’s role in the drug-dealing case. Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department must re-file the extradition request to leave out the charge related to the Manzanillo seizure. The department did not respond...
