The Koch brothers and The Baltimore Sun. July 25, 2013. Some nice folk hoping to help craft a better future for my alma mater, The Baltimore. Stopped by the office a few weeks ago and asked me some questions about what I thought about the Koch brothers, those politically passioned gentlemen, purchasing the half-empty husks of what remains of the Chicago Tribune newspapers. I replied in detail, but of course, they needed a shorter sound bite:. The future beyond the next fiscal quarter? And now, with 120 o...

Tina's Blog: Father-in-Law Vinyl Purge #5 - Rose Laurens
http://thina3.blogspot.com/2013/07/father-in-law-vinyl-purge-5-rose-laurens.html
Sunday, July 07, 2013. Father-in-Law Vinyl Purge #5 - Rose Laurens. I guessed that the label would have given me an idea of what I was getting myself into. After doing a Google search. When I learned about the work she did before "Vivre", I embraced her bold choice of songs for the album even more. Rose Laurens sang "J'ai rêvé d'une autre vie" ("I Dreamed a Dream") for Les Mis's 1980 French concept album and then starred in the musical. Even then, she was rockin' the one earring.

http://thina3.blogspot.com/2013/07/foreign-stem-graduates.html
Thursday, July 04, 2013. Politicians in both the House and the Senate have been working on several drafts of a comprehensive immigration reform bill for a while. It wasn't until recently that the so-called Group of Eight, a - you guessed right - group of eight senators agreed on a bipartisan immigration bill. It was passed last week in the Senate, with 68 supporters, 14 of whom were republicans. Republicans for Immigration Reform sounds a lot like Fwd.us. Somini Sengupta reported yesterday. Was still loo...
