Dianna Goldberg May, a former ABC News researcher, told The Washington Post that she reached out to Halperin for help with a story but Claimed Halperin said he would only help her if she sat on his lap.

Halperin issued a statement to CNN saying he did Pursue Relationships with women he worked with during his time at ABC News. 

No wonder the Arabic world separates men and women and European Countries have legal Prostitution available. But the Media enjoy the stories.

Where does this fit in the dance of attracting someone, male or female? 
What does the effect of Million of Dollars on old memories?  Just a thought.

The NAACP sent out an advisory urging African-American travelers not to use American Airlines, one of the nation's largest air carriers.

The civil rights organization accused the airline of a "pattern of disturbing incidents."
flights on American Airlines could subject them to disrespectful, discriminatory or unsafe conditions," .

The release lists four incidents over the course of 18 months over which the NAACP is accusing the airline of unfair treatment.  

On Wednesday morning, American Airlines shared a letter from the CEO to his employees on the NAACP's actions.
"We were disappointed to learn of a travel advisory issued by the NAACP regarding American Airlines,"  "We do not and will not tolerate discrimination of any kind. We have reached out to the NAACP and are eager to meet with them to listen to their issues and concerns."

Do it except if the price, service, destination, direct flight, are more favorable, go ahead. Don't punish yourself.

Baggage...*

BBC reports that a village 25 miles from India’s capital, New Delhi, has banned marriages based on love.  From the traditional Indian point of view, love is what comes after marriage, not before.
The marriage partners are chosen by family, then you learn to love the person you’re with.

Falling in love is a passionate feeling; loving in marriage should be based on learning how to behave in ways that lead to care and trust.  Unfortunately, the traditional approach brings along with it a lot of unacceptable baggage.

In the West,  you first fall in love, then marry for that reason.  Some fall in love and never get married. This is a decision made by the couple themselves after getting to know each other. However, this approach is also not without issues. look at US divorce rates.

Somewhere between the two extremes of love before and after lies the proper balance. A marriage needs to start with being in love but not end there. Those who are in enduring relationships learn that loving includes but is not confined to feelings. Love that lasts is based upon actions that reflect mutual respect and care.

A long-lasting marriage combines being in love, which waxes and wanes, with acting with love, which is demonstrated over and over in countless ways large and small. It is not easy. Just a thought.

A district attorney on eastern Long Island and a top aide were charged with intimidating witnesses in a federal civil rights investigation into the beating of a handcuffed prisoner by a police chief.

D- Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota and the chief of his anti-corruption bureau, Christopher McPartland, were named in an indictment charging them with obstruction of justice, witness tampering and other offenses related to the case against former county Police Chief James Burke.

Last year, Burke was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for orchestrating a department cover-up after beating a handcuffed man for stealing embarrassing items from his department-issued SUV. Burke was a longtime protege of Spota's and once worked as an investigator in the district attorney's office before being named chief of the Suffolk County Police Department, one of the largest suburban departments in the country with 2,500 officers.

Officers subpoenaed by FBI agents investigating the 2012 beating were interrogated afterward about whether they had talked, prosecutors said. Unnamed co-conspirators had warned some that if they admitted wrongdoing, their union would not pay their legal fees.
