Los Angeles Times: Times is expected to cut 5% of staff
The Los Angeles Times is expected to announce Monday a plan to cut about 5% of its workforce, or approximately 150 jobs, as profits at the newspaper and its Chicago-based parent company continue to slide.
Times executives said they expected most of the cuts, including nearly 70 newsroom positions, to come through voluntary buyouts. After the reductions, the newspaper would have about 2,625 employees. The news staff would shrink to about 850 people from 920.
Not a Malaise…….
The Los Angels Times doesn’t get IT, now do they?

France Watch: Conservative Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist Segolene Royal in Run-Off
Supporters for France�s UMP political party presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy react to the announcement of results in the first round vote at a theatre in Paris, April 22, 2007. Conservative leader Sarkozy finished first in the opening round of France presidential elections and will meet Socialist rival Royal in a May 6 run-off vote as voters in France turned out in force.
Sarkozy, Royal get most votes in France
Conservative Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist Segolene Royal appeared headed to a runoff for the French presidency, according to pollsters’ projections from the Sunday vote, setting up a stark choice of left or right for a nation hungry for new direction.
Four polling agencies put Sarkozy ahead of Royal, and both of them in the May 6 run-off, eliminating the 10 other first-round candidates. The projections were based on actual vote counts from representative samples of hundreds of polling stations across the country. Official results from the election that drew a huge turnout were expected later on Sunday evening.
Left vs Right…..A turning point for France?
Let the campaign begin……

Iran Watch: A Laugh Now for Iran-UK Hostage Mr. Bean
Torture? It’s all a laugh now for Mr Bean …
Remember the grand time the Iran-UK hostages had in Tehran?
Well, the humiliation of the Brits continues…….
Iran hostage Arthur Batchelor’s admission that he cried himself to sleep after his captors likened him to Mr Bean and stole his iPod was scorned as a national embarrassment.
Yet just days after a barrage of criticism for selling his story, the 20-year-old reveals just how little he has learned from the whole debacle.
This picture shows the Operator Mechanic staging a tasteless re-enactment of his 13 days in captivity as he celebrates his home-coming in a Plymouth nightclub. He laughs as he pretends to be held at gunpoint, his ordeal – and his fellow servicemen’s vitriolic response to his behaviour – seemingly a long way from his mind.
Sad………

Hillary Clinton Watch: Two for One? Part Two
Democratic presidential hopeful U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., greets supporters before speaking at a town hall meeting, Saturday, April 21, 2007, in Marshalltown, Iowa.
AP: Clinton Says Husband Would Be Ambassador
Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that if she is elected president, she would make her husband a roaming ambassador to the world, using his skills to repair the nation’s tattered image abroad.
“I can’t think of a better cheerleader for America than Bill Clinton, can you?” the Democratic senator from New York asked a crowd jammed into a junior high school gymnasium. “He has said he would do anything I asked him to do. I would put him to work.”
Clinton spoke at a town hall-style meeting Saturday where she took questions from about 200 people. When asked what role the former president would play in her administration, she left no doubt it would be an important one.
“I’m very lucky that my husband has been so experienced in all of these areas,” said Clinton, who pointed to the diplomatic assignments her husband has carried out since leaving office, such as raising money for tsunami victims.
That’s precisely what America needs in the wake of a war in Iraq that’s left America isolated and hated throughout much of the world, Hillary Clinton said.
“I believe in using former presidents, particularly what my husband has done, to really get people around the world feeling better about our country,” she said. “We’re going to need that. Right now they’re rooting against us and they need to root for us.”
Because the Lefties and European appeasers do not agree with the Iraq War, that Hillary VOTED for – other countries are against America?
But, like Flap wrote the first time.
Bill Clinton was impeached because of PERJURY of immoral sex acts.
And why do you think Hillary’s favorability poll numbers are NEGATIVE?
America doesn’t want Hillary or a RETREAD.
Hillary measures WHAT?

John McCain Watch: MoveOn’s Ad Buy of Reckless President
Hotline: The Size Of MoveOn’s Ad Buy
We’re led to understand that, for their new ad about Sen. John McCain and Iran, MoveOn.org has purchased roughly $44K on Manchester, NH’s WMUR and about $25K in Iowa so far, spread between the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids markets.
Will Bomb Iran have much of an affect on McCain’s Presidential campaign?
How much will this ad buy affect McCain’s poll numbers in the coming weeks?
Flap holds that McCain is DONE. Some in South Carolina think the same.
The GOP race will be between Rudy and Mitt.Previous:

Giuliani Notes: Rudy Attends South Carolina GOP Convention
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani speaks during the Spartanburg County GOP convention at Dorman High School in Spartanburg, S.C., Saturday, April 21, 2007.
AP: Romney, Giuliani a hit with S.C. GOP
Crowds clapped as they packed around Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani while they arrived for the Greenville County Republican convention Saturday.
Some in the crowd grumbled about the absence of Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Yes, where was McCain?
But, does it matter? McCain has been fading in the polls and the Bomb Iran routine – well the Macaca moment for his Presidential campaign.
There was little doubt about the popularity of former New York Mayor Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, as they held court for about a half-hour each before addressing one of the state’s largest Republican groups.
Others worked the crowd, too, such as Brentleigh Crow, who was trying to get her picture taken with all the candidates. Crow, like some Republicans here, was miffed that McCain of Arizona was nowhere in sight.
“I was appalled that McCain thumbed his nose at Greenville,” Crow said. McCain’s campaign staff said he had scheduling conflicts that kept him away from South Carolina’s county conventions, events filled with some of the GOP’s most committed activists.
McCain didn’t buy booth space at the event, either, said Wendy Nanney, the Greenville Republican chairwoman.
People listen to Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani speak during Spartanburg County Republican convention at Dorman High School in Spartanburg, S.C., Saturday, April 21, 2007.

Iran Watch: US-Iranian Nuclear Worker Steals Nuclear Plant Software for Iran
Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez greets (L) Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki at Miraflores Palace in Caracas April 20, 2007.
Reuters: US nuclear worker took software to Iran: FBI
A former engineer at the largest U.S. nuclear power plant was arrested on suspicion of taking software codes and using them to download details of plant control rooms and reactors while in Iran, officials said on Saturday.
The software involved was used to train plant operators and there was no indication of a terrorist connection, said Deborah McCarley, an FBI spokeswoman in Phoenix.
There have been a goodly number of Iranian nationals who have gained United States citizenship since the Islamic Revolution of the late 1970’s.
Flap suggests we are at war with Iran and background checks must be scrutinized like those in the Cold War.
The FBI arrested Mohammad Alavi, who worked at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station outside Phoenix, earlier this month at Los Angeles International Airport when he arrived on a flight from Iran, she said.
He is charged with a single count of violating a trade embargo that bars Americans from exporting goods and services to Iran.
Electronic records show that Alavi’s name and password were used to download software registration in October 2006 from a computer in Tehran, according to an FBI affidavit.
Alavi, 49, a U.S. citizen who was born in Tehran, denies wrongdoing, his lawyer, Milagros Cisneros, told the Arizona Republic newspaper.
On Friday a federal judge in Phoenix denied Alavi bail, saying he posed a substantial flight risk, the newspaper reported.
Alavi is accused of removing the software — which mimics plant operations — before he quit his job at Palo Verde last August. Export of the software, without prior authorization, is illegal, according to the affidavit.
Alavi faces up to 21 months in prison if convicted of the charge, according to the Arizona Republic.
Lock this idiot/traitor away and scrutinize (spelled profile) other nuclear workers.
Of course, Mohammad pled not guilty.
