Former 21 Hour Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon Reduced to Two Hour Special

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:01:47 GMT

Source: www.showbiz411.com --- Monday, June 17, 2013
The poor old former Jerry Lewis telethon for Muscular Dystrophy: it’s been reduced now to two hours on ABC on September 1st. Gone completely is the famed 21 hour show that went through the night from Sunday to Monday on labor day, with Jerry Lewis watching the tote board and local stations pitching in to find money for MDA. In 2011, Lewis didn’t appear and was eliminated from MDA with no explanation after 50 years. In 2012, Lewis was even further erased, and the show was slimmed down from six hours to three. It resembled nothing of its former glory. Now MDA has announced the show is just a two hour special on ABC. All gone are the local shows that fed the syndicated one. And Jerry Lewis has been wiped from the show’s history. Interestingly, I reported after the 2011 show that MDA was unable to actually collect 50% of the money that was pledged without Lewis. After last year’s three hour show, no announcement was ever made about how much money was pledged or what was collected. MDA [...] Categories: Uncategorized ( Read more... ) ...

Dolmabahçe Palace on Labor Day

Source: istanbul.for91days.com --- Tuesday, June 11, 2013
The irony wasn’t completely lost on us. Visiting Dolmabahçe Palace, a symbol of preposterous wealth and privilege, while just outside workers were marching in Istanbul’s infamous labor day protests. “What’s that smell?” I whispered to Jürgen, while admiring a carpet with more square footage than any apartment I’ve ever lived in. “Tear gas”, he said, his eyes starting to well up. “Amazing carpet, though.” labor day is a big deal in Istanbul, with a history marred by violence. The march in 1977, for example, became known as the Taksim Square Massacre , when 40 people killed by overzealous policing and a panicked stampede. This year, the government refused to let protesters even reach Taksim Square. They were taking no chances — traffic in Beyoğlu was prohibited, public transportation was shut down, and even the Galata Bridge was closed . And at the exact same moment Turkish protesters were being denied their right to congregate, Jürgen and I were ogling the outrageous luxury of Dolmabahçe Palace: perhaps Istanbul’s most perfect symbol of class inequality. Despite being completely contrary to labor day’s socialist spirit, it was the perfect time to visit the palace. Dolmabahçe is normally one of the most popular tourist sights in Istanbul… but not when people can’t reach it! And with public transportation down, only those lucky enough to live within walking distance (like us) could make it. Built in 1856 by Sultan Abdülmecid I, for ...

Kulpmont Free Lending Library: 98 days until Labor Day, more than 700 books to read

KULPMONT - For those who are looking to pick up some reading material this summer, 860 Oak St., is the place to go. In a little garage area at the home of Walter Lutz, more than 400 books sit on several tables and racks waiting for someone to read them. "I wish I had a couple more racks, because we have a few more books in the garage," Lutz said. When Lutz, inspired by a news report on a similar project last summer, began the Kulpmont Lending Library, there were approximately 300 books available from his own collection and from donations. With the help of Mount Carmel Area senior Cathy Fletcher and the public, the library now has 700 books available. Lutz's idea is simple: Bring out the books on nice days and hope someone takes advantage of discovering something new to read. "There is nothing to sign. Just take a book that catches your eye and bring it back when your are done with it, or bring one of your own to enjoy," Lutz said. Student Mary Scopeletti is a fan of the Kulpmont Lending Library, traveling from Elysburg to check out the books at Lutz' home. "I love coming here, because there are so many books. Over the summer, I could read a book a day," Scopeletti said. "If all this inspires a love of reading in someone, then it's all worth it," Lutz said. To celebrate the opening, Lutz wrote letters to more than 100 people asking if they had a favorite author or book that inspired them. Lutz said he will post the responses. One ...
