Love Yahoo, Love Google Chrome--Yummy Food on the Yahoo Homepage

Marissa Mayer
Marissa Mayer--has good recipes
Just tried the new Yahoo app for Google Chrome....Love it!

It gives me the Yahoo home page on a new tab.

Now, I love Google and use it on my Chromebook several times a day--every day--all day.

But, I also like the Yahoo Newspaper---read it every day for  current news and trending news, can easily see the weather.....it's pretty.

I like the set-up of the Yahoo Newspaper and it is easy to use.....but what is really beautiful are all of those recipes.

It seems like Marissa Mayer really hit the nail on the head with this little newspaper and the food page.

The foods pictured have useful recipes, easy and difficult, good nutrition and calorie info......it's fun to visualize.

Also, reading Google News everyday, too, and of course, G-mail is the bomb.

Tech girl and blogger.......love it.....the ronnie republic.

Geraldo Rivera: Giving a Voice to The Working Class

from the ronnie republic radio round-up........

It has to be said, for a conservative news/talk radio broadcast Geraldo Rivera gives a chance for the average working class individual to have a voice--to speak and be heard.

"I appreciate all of my calls today because they have been so thoughtful and heartfelt."

Seriously, this is unheard of in right wing radio and television news.

Good job to WABC Radio New York and Geraldo Rivera and his partner Noam Laden for letting the average guy get their ideas out there.

Well done.

Larry Mendte WABC Sunday Night: Love to Agree and Disagree With Larry--from The Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up




Black Leaders in Ferguson would like AL Sharpton TO go away! He just makes things worse. I will be talking about this tonight on 77 WABC. Listen in your car, online or on IHeart radio/

copied from the The Larry Mendte Show facebook page........

Dear Larry:  I have to tell you....we disagree on so much but apparently we really agree on a few things, too.  I listened to you on Geraldo this week and enjoyed your program showing both sides of the issues on the police and the recent events in New York.  It is so easy to be angry with the police but we have to remember they are people with emotions and families doing an extremely hard job.  It is a complicated situation.Should there be more public education about how citizens and the police should act when they want to arrest or question someone....because right now both sides are suffering. What about the idea of helmet or chest cameras.  I do not know the answer.

Here in Wichita the police came under fire for shooting a dog, a pit bull mix, who turned out to be a fine individual....but then I read a story 2 days later about a Grandma's dog that killed the baby......so how are the police suppose to act going into the situation...they lose either way......which dogs are killers and which are loose pets?

I happen to really like Al Sharpton and I have found his words to be soothing on many occasions.  If I was a citizen of Missouri I would want him there to represent me.  We can't keep gunning down our kids...I do not want the police to be a militia against our children.  All the kids act up but they should not die for it......yes, mine have  acted up, too.

I really wanted to say I appreciated your show about Robin Williams....I have always thought he was a genius but he was just too much for me.  Everyone loved him but to me he was angry and I was very angry with him for his final action.  So many people have been hurt and affected by his actions.....again, it was just too much and your show was actually very helpful.  Having said that Mrs. Doubtfire was the funniest movie I have ever seen in my life.    He was so complicated....so over the top......I shared many of your thoughts.

Keep up the good work........always listening to the radio....cl

WABC Radio  New York......


So here is the age old question....is the radio talk show format about a political discussion and finding out new information or is it only about the opinions of the host no questions asked......

The man in for Geraldo today........he did a pretty good job.

This was Judge Napolitano from the Fox Network.

Of course, he was not as good as Rita Cosby who I was hoping for in Geraldo's absence and he was not as good as Geraldo but he still ran an interesting show, did not shout or yell or get angry and conducted a political discussion.

Not really agreeing with the Judge or Fox News on most issues but still anxious to hear his opinion and why......he is against stop and frisk and Geraldo is for stop and frisk so the conversation was informational and fun from the listeners point of view.

It is always fun to hear about New York since their issues are slightly different from the rest of the country due to their size and tourist attraction--something is always going on there and the big political radio talkers are there, too.

Judge Napolitano gave his views on stop and frisk and he also had on his show a guest to give his reasons for a strong opposition.

Not really understanding the issues of New York City or stop and frisk it is a real learning experience when we get to hear an in-depth study from both sides.....in-depth for a radio show, that is.  He let the callers give their ideas without interruption.

Seriously, the show was entertaining and enjoyable.......more than the angry ,  Clinton bashing individual they had on Monday morning.

Actually, Noam Laden conducts a great talk show on his own.....they should just let Noam fill in when Geraldo and Rita are not available.....particularly instead of the angry incorrect shouting man.

Good job, Judge, we will be listening for your tomorrow.

From the desk of the Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up.....hey, what is your best radio show.....who do you listen to for your info and why.......

Bernie Kerik's Lawyer Slams the Screen Door in the Face of Joe Tacopina

Seriously, Bernie should have his own radio show.....it's always interesting to hear the former top cop's take on things, particularly when we have all of the major security issues and debates in the United States today.  Agree or disagree, most citizens want to know why police do the things they do or act in a certain way.  Like it or not, we are governed by law enforcement and we need law enforcement.......hey--what makes the cops tick.......personally I'm the first one to argue with the police and criticize but also the first one to call the police in a tight and uncomfortable situation.  In all of the news today the police side of the situation gives us more insight into government and police actions.  

Bernie is a good talker and easy for the average citizen to understand......hope to hear more from Bernie on the radio......cl...the ronnie republic



Bernie Kerik's lawyer slams Joe Tacopina, says letter to feds violates ethics

In an email to the Daily News, Burstein strongly denied that his letter urging prosecutors to file perjury charges against Kerik was an ethics violation.

The lawyer for former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik says Joe Tacopina's lawyer committed an ethics infraction when he asked prosecutors that Kerik be charged with perjury.KEVIN WOLF/KEVIN WOLFThe lawyer for former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik says Joe Tacopina's lawyer committed an ethics infraction when he asked prosecutors that Kerik be charged with perjury.
Joe Tacopina should have checked the rules governing the conduct of lawyers before he sent a letter to prosecutors urging them to hit Bernie Kerik with perjury charges, a lawyer for the former New York police commissioner said on Tuesday.
Tim Parlatore said he believes the letter written by Tacopina lawyer Judd Burstein to the U.S. Attorney’s office in White Plains violates Rule 3.4(e) of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct, which state that an attorney may not “present, participate in presenting, or threaten to present criminal charges solely to obtain an advantage in a civil matter.”
In an email to the Daily News, Burstein strongly denied that his letter urging prosecutors to file perjury charges against Kerik was an ethics violation.
“This has nothing to do with gaining an advantage in a civil matter (and certainly not ‘solely’), but all to do with justice,” Burstein said.
Kerik filed a federal malpractice lawsuit in January and a New York bar complaint in December that claims Tacopina, who was Alex Rodriguez’s lead attorney in his failed appeal of his Major League Baseball doping suspension, cooperated with the government in the 2007 prosecution of Kerik for federal tax evasion, fraud and lying to White House officials vetting him for Homeland Security chief.
Parlatore told The News he will amend Kerik’s lawsuit to include the letter Burstein sent to prosecutors Elliot Jacobson and Perry Carbone last week on behalf of Tacopina. He said he will also supplement the bar complaint with the claims Burstein made in the letter.
“It seems to me it’s pretty clear they’re trying to gain an advantage in a civil matter, and Rule 3.4(e) specifically prohibits such conduct,” Parlatore said. “And I will leave it to the appropriate authorities to decide if Mr. Tacopina and Mr. Burstein have violated that duty.”
Burstein wrote to the prosecutors that Kerik either lied when he pleaded guilty to fraud and tax evasion or when he filed his complaints against Tacopina.
“I know that lawyers in civil litigation often try to convince prosecutors to pursue criminal cases against an opposing party, and the purpose of this letter is to do just that,” Burstein wrote. “But this case is different.”
Parlatore said Burstein seems more interested in litigating the case outside of court than in it.
“The proper way to fight a lawsuit is to pursue the complaint,” Parlatore said. “If Mr. Tacopina really had nothing to fear in this lawsuit he’d be happy to get under oath in court and talk about what he did. . . . You don’t send a letter to a U.S. Attorney and say, ‘arrest this person.’”
Burstein’s letter is not part of the court file, and Parlatore only received it Tuesday night, after learning of its contents in a newspaper report that appeared Monday. Parlatore told The News that the lawsuit was mischaracterized in that report, which said that Kerik now claims to be innocent of the charges that landed him in prison.
“Mr. Kerik is not claiming that he’s innocent — but that Mr. Tacopina failed to properly represent him,” Parlatore said.
Kerik does claim in the suit and the bar complaint that Tacopina, who represented Kerik in a state case that led to the federal charges, gave the feds information crucial to Kerik’s defense without informing or receiving consent from his client.
Parlatore said he hopes Jacobson and Carbone, the assistant U.S. Attorneys who prosecuted Kerik, would not take the perjury charges seriously. Kerik went to prison in 2010 and was released last spring. “Certainly, (the U.S. Attorney’s office) has an interest in protecting (Tacopina),” Parlatore said. “But I would hope and expect the AUSA wouldn’t take any interest in this letter.”
