Rachel Maddow On Leno: Gulf Visit Was 'Claustrophobic,' I Had 'Panicky Feeling' (VIDEO)

This is one of the best interviews that one could watch concerning the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Kudos to Rachel Maddow for her excellent reporting and - yes - even to Jay Leno for a serious interview. He let her tell of the terrible conditions facing all of us along the Gulf Coast (and in particular, for those trying to help clean-up the beaches and the wildlife). Great points all around - a must see!

Defying National Trend, U. of Florida Announces Broad Faculty Raises - Administration - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Hey, we could hope - pray - that this might start a trend for the "academic survivors" of the financial armageddon that is taking place in higher education across the country. The University of Florida leaders may not be treated well at those fancy college presidents and university administrators conventions at four-star resorts, as this could - could - make the cost of labor higher. 

Defying National Trend, U. of Florida Announces Broad Faculty Raises - Administration - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Do forward this posting on to all your colleagues - wherever they may be - or may have moved to - and certainly to the administrative types on your campus! Maybe it will start a trend....or maybe we're just starry-eyed believers!

Beach Weddings: Brides and Wedding Planners are Now Victims of the Gulf Oil Spill

Want to see the impact of the oil spill on every form of tourist and beach-related business along the Gulf Coast. Read this great article from CNN below:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/06/11/oil.spill.beach.weddings/index.html?hpt=C2

The sad truth: No bride wants to go down the sandy aisle barefoot and walk across a tar ball....and have dead birds and fish around. Not the way to start a new life. My heart goes out to these folks though - it will devastate a number of small businesses who specialize in beach weddings, catering, and photography all along the Gulf Coast! Thanks again, BP!
