Florence Nightingale...Actions of WISDOM......

LBN-HISTORICAL COMMENTARY By Florence Nightingale:

You ask me why I do not write something...

I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results. (1910)


LBN- COMMENTARY By

THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN:

Whenever something like Fort Hood happens you say, “This is not Islam.”

I believe that.

But you keep telling us what Islam isn't.

You need to tell us what it is and show us how its positive interpretations are being promoted in your schools and mosques.

If this is not Islam, then why is it that a million Muslims will pour into the streets to protest Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, but not one will take to the streets to protest Muslim suicide bombers who blow up other Muslims, real people, created in the image of God?

You need to explain that to us- and to yourselves.

LBN-MEDIA INSIDER:

***MGM sale expects to elicit half-dozen bids. Hollywood should know better by the end of next month whether MGM will change owners or simply shift course.

***Liberty Media president and CEO Greg Maffei said Tuesday that Comcast is paying a "pretty big price" for a 51% stake in NBC Universal, but he lauded the cable giant for pulling off a deal that will allow it to hedge potential future challenges.

***Comcast-NBC ad industry executives have talked for years of a future where a marketer could buy a single national TV placement that serves up different ads to individual households depending on the viewing and purchase profiles of those homes;

this Universal deal could change ads.

MARK TWAIN:

LBN-NOTICED:

***Rev. Jesse Jackson and media expert and author Michael Levine talking about Michael Jackson at Jeff Wald's party for the official photo book titled Michael Jackson Opus at the Luxe Hotel last night in Brentwood.

Also present at the party were attorney John Branca, Suzanne DePasse, actor Ray Liotta, attorney Howard Weitman, Bruce Jenner, radio talk show host Richard Greene, Irving Azoff, among many others.

The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot. (1906)
