Is passage of the media shield law imminent?
The Obama Administration, legislative leaders and representatives of leading media outlets have reached a tentative agreement on new federal protections for journalists and unpaid bloggers who gather and report news. The pending legislation is being touted as a solid compromise between the public’s right to know and the federal government’s concerns over national security. The bill is scheduled to go before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week.

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.
