Eliot Spitzer, beginning Friday night. (AP Photo/Charles Sykes, file)

(AP) ? Keith Olbermann was gone, a new host had replaced him, and history seemed to have repeated itself with his dismissal from Current TV after less than a year.

The left-leaning cable network announced just hours before airtime on Friday that "Countdown," the show Olbermann had anchored on Current since June, would be replaced with a new program hosted by former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, beginning that night.

"Welcome to Current's new 8 p.m. (Eastern time) show, 'Viewpoint,'" said Spitzer, who had a short-lived talk show on CNN in that same time slot, where he briefly went up against Olbermann. He did not mention Olbermann on Friday's premiere of "Viewpoint."

The sometimes volatile Olbermann came to Current last year as the centerpiece of its new prime-time initiative after a stormy eight-year stint at MSNBC ? his second at that network? followed by his abrupt departure in January 2011.

Shortly after, Current announced his hiring ? reportedly with a five-year, $50-million contract ? as the start of an effort to transform the network's prime-time slate into progressive talk. His official title was chief news officer, charged with providing editorial guidance for all of the network's political news, commentary and current events programming.

In a statement, Current TV founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt said the network was "founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it."

They offered no details, but it is known that the temperamental Olbermann repeatedly clashed with his employers. During the primary season he declined to host certain hours of election coverage and has missed a number of regular broadcasts, as well as complaining about technical problems he said undermined his show.

Current considered some of those missed shows to be in "serial, material breach of his contract," terming them "unauthorized absences," according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because that person wasn't authorized to discuss details of Olbermann's dismissal.

"We are confident that our viewers will be able to count on Gov. Spitzer to deliver critical information on a daily basis," Gore and Hyatt said in their "open letter" to viewers.

In a statement posted online, Olbermann countered that "the claims against me implied in Current's statement are untrue and will be proved so in the legal actions I will be filing against them presently."

He said he had been attempting "for more than a year" to resolve his differences with Gore and Hyatt internally, "while I've not been publicizing my complaints." Instead of "investing in a quality news program," he said, his bosses "thought it was more economical to try to get out of my contract."

He called his decision to join Current "a sincere and well-intentioned gesture on my part, but in retrospect a foolish one."

The rupture between Olbermann and his bosses echoed Olbermann's past employment history. At NBC there was ongoing friction between the brash host and his bosses, just as there had been at earlier jobs as far back as Olbermann's star-making, often tumultuous turn as a "SportsCenter" anchor at ESPN in the 1990s.

Just weeks before his exit from MSNBC, Olbermann was nearly fired but instead was suspended for two days without pay for violating an NBC News policy by donating to three political campaigns.

At the heart of his grievance with MSNBC, as he later explained it, was the media consolidation that he felt threatened his independence on the air.

In January 2011, Comcast Corp., the giant cable operator, acquired a controlling stake in Olbermann's already huge employer, NBCUniversal.

The night of Jan. 21, Olbermann told his viewers he was leaving. He said, a bit cryptically, that "there were many occasions, particularly in the last two and a half years, where all that surrounded the show ? but never the show itself ? was just too much for me."

After that, Current, the privately held network co-founded in 2005 by former Vice President Gore and Joel Hyatt, seemed the perfect fit: It is an independent media outlet.

"Nothing is more vital to my concept of a free media than news that is produced independent of corporate interference," Olbermann said at the announcement of his coming to Current.

Current was then beginning its effort to redefine itself after ditching its original concept as the go-to site for viewer-generated short videos.

Since "Countdown" premiered, Current has fleshed out its prime-time lineup of liberals with "The Young Turks," hosted by Cenk Uygur, and "The War Room" with former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

This week, it introduced a six-hour morning talk block, with live simulcasts of the radio programs "The Bill Press Show" and "The Stephanie Miller Show."

Let Your Face Glow With Contact Lenses | What is Health and Fitness

Whether you?ve worn contact lenses for years or you?re planning to buy your first pair, it?s always helpful to be armed with as much information as possible about your choices. Several locations, online and off-line, offer contact lenses in many different styles. You just have to know where to look. This article was written to help people, novice and expert, choose contact lenses that will be the most beneficial for them.

Researching low prices for contact lenses can often be problematic, mostly because there are so many places to purchase them nowadays. Different companies will have different prices, especially for specific types of contact lenses depending upon the quality and style. Searching the different optical stores, and also online websites, you should be able to do a comparison of who has the best offer. Check several retailers, both on the internet and in your area, and don?t forget to look for any rebates that might be available. There is almost always someone with a lower price, which means you should be looking outlet stores and optical stores for deals that they may have each and every month.

Depending upon the vision difficulty that you have, your contact lenses should help you see much better right away. One of the most widespread problems that people have as they get older is astigmatism; this can actually be corrected with what are called toric lenses. There are two varieties of toric lenses: hard and soft. People that get these particular lenses must pay a little more because they are specifically created to help their condition. Anyone that has ever had presbyopia knows that this particular condition (which prevents you from seeing objects nearby) can be cured with monovision contact lenses that are exclusively made for your eyes. It is a clear sign that you have presbyopia if small print is hard for you to read. The way this is fixed is that separate lenses are made to do different things: one lens helps you see things nearby and the other things faraway.

To get a totally contemporary you, take a crack at crazy eyes contact lenses. So many artists and actors make use of them. Wash hands thoroughly before touching the lenses, whether applying them or removing them.

Several people choose contact lenses, on account that they are pretty handy for correcting vision, although they also let your adjust your eye color or at least let you have a new look. As a matter of fact, because of this, some individuals choose to wear contacts even though they have excellent vision. There are a variety of color contacts to choose from.

If you would rather brighten than change the color of your eyes, than enhancement tint color contact lenses are an option. You can fully transform the color of your eyes, if you choose opaque tint color contacts. This is often done by people with dark color eyes who want blue or green eyes. Whether or not your vision needs correcting, you still need to get an eye exam to have color contacts fitted properly.

One large market today that is growing increasingly is for nonprescription contacts that change eye color ? a very popular trend at the moment! People that are thinking about doing this should probably avoid it for several reasons. There are many difficulties with using non-prescription lenses, some of which can actually cause damage to your eyes if used. If you use contact lenses that are not fitted properly for your eyes, infections can develop adding to their irritability. Not only that, but wearing such lenses could impair your vision, making it dangerous to drive or perform other basic tasks. You simply want to make sure that the contact lenses that you get are properly fit, and this is usually done by getting an appointment with an eye doctor and having an eye exam.

There is some concern in regard to ordering contact lenses over the Internet and how safe it actually is. There really is no difference between making an online purchase, and one at the local mall ? one is simply in person, and the other on the Internet. The only thing you should be concerned about is whether or not the person selling is reputable and if they have a secure online connection. Your transactions will more than likely be very secure if you see the VeriSign logo on the website that you are using. This company should also have a thorough support system in place. Any reputable organization will have a phone number that you can call along with an e-mail address.

Angela H. Pudenaam is a fashion icon. She says you can impress the fashion world with non prescription contact lenses.

Student Loans | Education Loan & Financing Summit ? Future On ...

March 30, 2012 ? 6:46 am

PORT WASHINGTON, NY?(Marketwire -03/29/12)- iiBIG?s 2012 Education Loan Financing Executive Summit, scheduled for May 9-10, 2012 in Washington, D.C., occurs at a crucial time. With the majority of education financing now being provided by the Federal government, not only has the environment of providing capital for education to student borrowers dramatically changed, but so has the availability of capital for schools.

The student loan industry is still very much in transition. Traditional sources of capital have diminished, and in some cases been eliminated altogether. At the same time, the need for capital is increasing. Industry consolidation continues, legacy FFELP and private loan portfolios are in need of long term financing, auction-rate, and other securitizations are ripe for restructuring and/or refinancing and demand for private Student Loans continues to increase.

iiBIG is pleased to bring back this event to Washington, D.C. Education finance professionals ? in both the private and the public sector ? along with other key valued industry participants in the education finance and student loan markets will gather to discuss the latest issues and to lay the groundwork for the road ahead in 2012 and beyond.

If you are a student loan provider, investor, lender, servicer, borrower, academia, not-for-profit issuer or other student loan industry professional, this educational finance event will cover the areas of student loan funding, refinancing, origination and credit that directly affect your business.

Hear predictions and insights from the public and private educational loan markets on what to expect from policy-makers as they respond to on-going educational loan challenges.

Take advantage of the conference location in Washington, D.C. to call on new Congressional representatives and staff to make sure your views and concerns remain at the top of the agenda.

Childhood Obesity: A Double Standard for Public Schools and ...

My children, are far from obese. ?I would even venture to say, that my oldest two aren?t even overweight. ?According to Fort Bend ISD in Texas, I am wrong.

Kylie, our 13 year old daughter, asked me last night, if she was overweight. ?I looked at her really funny and told her ?no way!? ?But then, I wanted to know why she felt that way. ?Kylie is very self conscious. ?As a victim of past bullying (unrelated to weight), Kylie has put a lot of time and effort into her appearance and health. ?She has seen how mean kids can be, and she stays active, places concern with portion control, and keeps up with herself so that she doesn?t fall victim again.

Apparently, her gym coaches were doing the Body Mass Index screening, and they told her she was overweight. ?This bothered her so badly, that she pulled me aside, whle in the comfort of her own home, away from her brothers and dad, to ask me if she was overweight.

Isn?t that sad?

Meet Braxton. ?He?s our 7, almost 8 year old kiddo. ?His stature is the smallest of our four kids. ?His school says he?s almost obese.

?

// ]]>

I got a letter from his school yesterday ? 6 months after screening, might I add?

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Your student, (HIS FULL NAME), was measured for height and weight on 9/29/11 as part of the campus regular health screening. ?The height and weight measurements is used to determine a body mass index or BMI. ?BMI is used by doctors and nurses to help identify underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese children. ?The percents used are below:

  • Underweight BMI less than 5%
  • Within Normal Range BMI 5% to 84%
  • Overweight BMI 85% to 94%
  • Obese BMI greater than or equal to 95%

Your child?s results showed:

  • Height: 50.25
  • Weight: ?67.60
  • BMI-for-age: 93.06%

The letter then goes on to say that there are, in fact, other factors like sports activities and family history, that can increase the BMI for kids, so take them to a health care provider to find out if they are in a healthy range or not, but that?s not my concern.

I?m bothered by this screening, not because I don?t think that childhood?obesity?is a noteworthy cause, but because I don?t believe that a BMI (which as stated is an extremely unreliable measurement of ?a person?s healthy weight status) should define a child, or label them at such an early age.

// ]]>

Suddenly, this study by CCTS means nothing to me:

Currently, 58% of adults and 39% of children are classified as overweight or obese in the Greater Houston community.

If my child is in that classification, then this number is far from off.

I want to know why I am expected to make changes at home, when my child is at school for more waking hours than he is home? ?Really, this isn?t just about me. ?It?s about everyone in America who sends their kids to public schools.

We try to provide healthy, well balanced meals here at home (although Braxton is our pickiest eater!). ?We send our kids to school with a sack lunch every day because the food served in the cafeterias include pink slime, ice cream bars,?Gatorade, cookies, high sodium, pre-packacked foods, and more. ?Not to mention what is being eaten in the classrooms as ?rewards? for doing the right thing (what happened to just DOING the right thing because it?s the right thing?). ?Braxton has come home several times with mini-candy bars or gum for various reasons.

Where is Jamie Oliver?s School Food Revolution when we need him!?

I also got a letter in his backpack, yesterday, that I owe the cafeteria money. ?Apparently, Braxton forgot his lunch one day and had to eat at school. ?The invoice is for $4.00. ?How, in the world, can a child, who does not have a lunch account set up at school, rack up a $4 lunch in on sitting? ?I?ll tell you how. ?Everything he purchased that day were a la carte items which included ice cream and chocolate milk. ?What happened to a PB&J and calling it even?

As far as physical activity goes, let?s not forget what the standard punishment is, for a parent not signing the daily planner, not?completing?homework, or not reading for their allotted minutes the night before. ?In our elementary, it?s?sitting out for a certain amount of time at recess. ?Think about that. ?Not only are kids getting LESS THAN 30 minutes a day, in some cases, for structured physical activity, but their free play is often taken away as punishment for some things that are out of their control.

From American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance:

Texas mandates at least 135 minutes of moderate or vigorous structured physical activity per week in elementary school (grades K-5, or K-6, depending on the district), but it does not required daily recess. Full day kindergarten students, and to the extent practicable, PK students in half day programs, are to participate in moderate or vigorous physical activity for 30 minutes each day. The state also mandates at least 30 minutes per day of structured moderate-to-vigorous structured physical activity in junior high (grades 6-8 or 7-8, depending on the district).

So, Fort Bend ISD, I ask YOU ? What changes are YOU going to make in eating, physical activities, and other areas to help make our children more healthy?

Attorney's Blood Alcohol Level Twice Legal Limit At Time Of Deadly ...

IRVING (CBSDFW.COM) -?Toxicology results show a Southlake attorney was at about twice the legal limit for drunk driving when he wrecked his sports car on January 4 in Irving.

Attorney Ron Eddins, 41, had been drinking with Kaat Debeuckelaer, 22 and Kenneth Lark, 23. Police say he was driving so fast that he lost control of his Porsche for 600 feet.

Police reports say the car hit a curb and traveled the last 100 feet in the air, sailing over a canal and striking a wall before plunging into the water. ?The crash killed all three people.

The report shows in addition to twice the legal limit of alcohol, Eddins had also been taking an antidepressant. The combinaton made for a toxic mix.

?When you take that (antidepressant) with alcohol it adds to the cerebellar effects,? said Dr. David Winter of Baylor Healthcare. ??That means you aren?t as coordinated. You can?t manage driving, for example, as you could on either one alone.?

An autopsy report says all three were killed by the trauma of the accident and drowning. A work crew found the wreckage hours later while repairing the damaged guard rail.

Police have never been able to determine the exact speed of the car. Whatever speed, Dr. Winter feels Eddins should not have been driving.

?That?s a lot of what alcohol does ? it really robs you of the judgement.? he said. ?That amount alone, forget the antidepressant, is going to make you impared with making smart decisions. He was driving way too fast.?

PFT: Saints sign LB Lofton to 5-year deal

Elway-plays-a-key-role-in-bringing-in-Manning-DT165TAN-x-largeGetty Images

Peyton Manning isn?t just confident that his neck injury is healing and his arm strength is improving to the point where he can play adequately for the Broncos this year. Manning is confident that he?ll be playing at the same level this year as he was in the four seasons when he was named the NFL?s Most Valuable Player.

Lindsay H. Jones of the Denver Post reports that when Broncos boss John Elway asked if Manning would be the type of quarterback he was during his MVP seasons, Manning didn?t blink.

?There is no doubt in my mind,? Manning replied.

Manning also told Jones he?s confident that it?s completely safe for him to play after four neck procedures put him out for the entire 2011 season, and that if the doctors hadn?t cleared him he would have walked away from football before putting his long-term health on the line.

?If the doctors said, ?Hey, you shouldn?t go out there,? that?s it. That?s the end of it,? Manning said. ?That?s a short conversation. I?ve kind of asked them to say that. It?s just not the case.?

According to Manning, it?s not just his own doctor who thinks he?s going to be perfectly fine to play football for years to come. He said he was checked out by doctors from the Broncos, Titans and 49ers and that all three team doctors gave him the go-ahead.

?That?s what they tell me. The nice thing is that the doctors of three different teams have told me essentially the same thing,? Manning said.

There aren?t many 36-year-old athletes who can miss a full year of action because of a serious injury and return to perform as well as ever. But there?s no doubt in Manning?s mind that he?s the man to do it.
