This could get ugly.

Without a production balance...we better make sure it gets ugly.

Ok, gonna take the conversation in a little different direction......

I'm thinking about finally entering the tablet era and getting an IPad by the end of the year. What's the difference between the IPad 2 and the IPad with "Retina Display?" Also, any recommendations on how much memory is really needed, 32 or 64 gig.

Thanks,

Denny

I've owned both and I would recommend the iPad with Retina display. There are major differences between the two especially the screen, processor, capabilities and download speeds. You need to head to an Apple store and mess around with an iPad.

For a list of differences visit:

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I figured I was misunderstanding your statement. :D

True, take a look at the LAX 73 bid package. SEVERAL of those.

Here's a 3 day Central American trip that pays 10:30. I have 4 next month.

Baja.

But hey, at least we got 4/8/3/3.

3-days worth 10:30 pretty much invalidate that "time value of money" nonsense.

My experiences, and perspective, comes from this: I've done "hits" on FOX, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, and ABC News with Diane Sawyer. Off the air, 90% of the hosts I've dealt with have been very nice and accommodating. Chris Mathews was ok. We shared numerous interviews during a summer of discontent. He hasn't called back for quite awhile. I don't miss him. ;)

Anyway, I think Fox does a good job but I've stopped watching except for The Five because I really like Greg Gutfeld's take on almost everything. CNN is doing a much better job with neutrality since they shifted their business strategy because they were getting their ass handed to them by Fox. I watch the alphabet networks when I can. MSNBC is a joke and continues to slit their wrists financially. I watch them, like Sharpton and Maddow, for comedic value. This might surprise you but I also watch the British networks and RF.

As to Fox, or any other network outsourcing footage like AJ.....they all do it in one form or another. When I embedded in Iraq to write "War Crimes," I ventured into the Green Zone once to seek out all of the major media "war correspondents" that I wasn't seeing actually covering the war. They were all hanging out at the bar and pool of the Al Rashid Hotel watching Al Jazeera drinking beer and writing their "battlefield posts." They never ventured out of the safety zone.

I look at media like I look at our current politicians. They're all pushing their agenda to sell ads and gain viewer or readership. Just ask the LA Times how that's working out. I choose to fly. I'll get back to writing someday but, right now, my stomach turns over the entire mess. People shouldn't fly angry. :D

Ok.. Since I don't see any of these on the 88, what concession was made in the contract that previously prevented this sort of rotation?

Or, were they already allowed and being constructed and are now at least paying more (4, 8.5) than before?
