Good Evening Mr.Williams, A fine broadcast from Los Angeles this evening. Always great to see Richard on the broadcast! And frm NYC too! Again this evening!

First of all the report from Richard about President Karzai receiving bags of cash from Iran which he readily admitted at the press conference. It was amzing to learn of the amount of around $975,000 from Iran and then learning the United States did pay in cash to the offices in Afghanistan before and sort of banking system was developed. It does seem that President Karzia is playing one country off another when making sure he has allies. But since Iran has been hostile to the United States it is a tense situation. An interesting relationship of countries.

The report by Dr. Nancy Snyderman from Haiti really showed a desperate region with the outbreak of cholera amongst the people. The people washing,bathing and drinking the polluted water from the rivers is making the outbreak spread quickly. It is difficult since even after being treated they return to the camps where the disease can be. They need to find a way to make sure they take necessary precautions like washing hands and not drinking the polluted water. One hopes things will get better.

The video of the tornado in Rice, Texas was incredible and certainly caused much damage. Mr.Meyers took alot of risk videotaping the storm.

The piece by Stephanie Gosk about Prince William and Kate Middleton possibly getting married either next year or the year after is causing quite a stir in the country. It is true once the annoucement is made about the wedding the couple will be under the microscope by the media. Hearing frm Prince Charles in your convesation with him showed he agreed about the high level of media coverage. It is still so early and the rumors are starting. It is good Prince William is focusing on being A Royal Air Force Pilot right now. The wedding day will come in due time when it it right.

Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Safe travels! Peace to You and to All!

Lots of Love to Laurel,Jackie,Stephanie,Claudia,Celine,Anna,Lori,Cary and Matt!

Be Well Always!

Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard! Nice to see you in New York! Always Excellent Reporting!

Take Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

XOXO

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.” ~ The Divider in the White House

Hi Brian - some great music suggestions, can't wait to see more content on BriTunes!

Brian, I experienced technical difficulties with your website later tonight. No complaint, as it does not

happen often. All the stories looked terrific. Phyllis

Good evening, Brian!

To be honest, my mind and heart have been so occupied lately, I haven't made the time to post. I'm glad to be back, and I hope to keep it up! An excellent broadcast tonight from Los Angeles. It was great to hear from Richard Engel on the recent news between Karzai and Iran. Good to see Richard in New York for a while, though I'm sure he'll be excited to get back on the road once he does. Great reporting from Nancy Snyderman on the cholera outbreak in Haiti. Just heartbreaking news that this is now taking over in Haiti after so many are still recovering from the earthquake that took place just 10 months ago. Hard to believe it's been that long, though at times it seems years away. My thoughts and prayers are with them again. Also, you're definitely right about the political ads. It's that time of year again, and you can't hide from them! Great reporting on the midterms. They are exciting, but I must say there's something much more special about a presidential election. Though based on the way things are going at the moment, it's probably best for everybody that the next presidential election isn't until 2012.

The story you shared about the iPad on board the aircraft was crazy, and very interesting. And I don't even fly a lot (yet)! Ipad's sure do come in handy though, and I'm being pulled in very slowly.

And finally, GREAT music! I'm enjoying all of it; all of it's variousness. Did you notice that in the film 'Up In The Air' George Clooney's character name is Ryan Bingham, and the musician Ryan Bingham is featured in the soundtrack? I thought that was quite funny. Great soundtrack as well. Saturday was my cousin's wedding. The most unique, perfect, happy wedding I've ever been to. My cousins are very musical, and so are their friends. As we sat by the bonfire that night their very, very talented friend Joy Truskowski sang a beautiful version of the song "Such Great Heights" in this style: http://bit.ly/aAC1kc And I still remain hopelessly addicted to Lissie, as well as crazy about Sia's "Lullaby" featured in the movie trailer for Hereafter. Can't get enough of music. I hope you'll continue to share! Thanks as always.

Thanks for all of it! (The broadcast, the music, and as usual, the post itself) Have a good evening, and see you tomorrow evening.

Take care!

-Cary

Can't someone round up some of those water purifying straws to pass out to the people in Haiti? After New York's attack on America seems there would be tons of cargo containers sitting around going to waste. Could they be modified and used as temporary housing? beats the hell out of a tent. BTW who at NBC?CNBC/MSNBC had advanced warning about New York's attack on America? hehehehe treat em like they treat others, talk about them like they talk about others. Hope you end up a "regional party" soon. Sure would be nice to see an ad out form the the Republicans about bringing back William Black. Little back in black theme music, Yeah that would be sweet but I have no faith in those a-holes either.

Oh okay, one more song for you, Brian... "Never Forget You" by the Noisettes. If you don't already, you will love it. I know it.

well, richard, that was a very interesting picture of emomali rahmon, the leader of tajikistan in the nyt, dexter's article. especially because the skin of my eyebrows is broken out in big welts and across my nose bridge, too, it started a couple of days ago. oh, yeah, it looks as lovely as it sounds . . . . . i'm sure karzai is enjoying the news that the u.s. government doesn't know who the foreign interests are funding some of our candidates. sounds like the patterns the wikileaks reports generate are interesting. take good care, best, anna martina

If you didn't watch Nightly News this past week, here are some of the things you missed:

Oct. 19--Brian Williams's obituary for Tom Bosley included clips from Bosley's Glad Trash Bags commercials (Brian also mentioned Glad by name). This was obviously a way to give some free air time to a brand that regularly advertises on NBC.

Oct. 21--During a story about the latest Toyota recalls, Nightly News put a list of the recalled models on-screen. One of the recalled models they listed was the 2006 Lexus G5 300. Lexus does not make a G5 300. They do, however, make a GS 300. If Nightly News is going to list auto recalls, they should get the model numbers right.

Oct. 23--The lead story about Wikileaks' allegations of prisoner abuse in Iraq included some on-screen descriptions of torture. One of these descriptions read, "Whipping the bottom of a detainees feet". The word should have been spelled with an apostrophe ("detainee's"), since it is a possessive, not a plural.
>This broadcast also featured a story on the West Virginia senate race. Although Kelly O'Donnell spent time interviewing Republican candidate John Raese, she never mentioned Raese's racial slur against Energy Secretary Steven Chu. Apparently, part of Raese's shtick is to intentionally mispronounce the names of Democrats he doesn't like (I guess he's the Norm Crosby of the Tea Party). During a filmed speech last month, Raese referred to Dr. Chu (a Nobel Prize-winning physicist) as "Dr. Chow Mein". This is as bad as, if not worse than, George Allen's "Macaca" comment (made during the 2006 Virginia senate race), which Nightly News covered extensively. Why didn't O'Donnell mention Raese's "Dr. Chow Mein" comment? Why is Nightly News protecting John Raese?
>Also on Saturday, there was a "Making A Difference" story about people donating money to charities. One part of the story focused on a five-year-old boy who raised $288 for the Ronald McDonald house. This was just a way for the producers to get in a plug for McDonald's, a heavy NBC sponsor.

Oct. 24--During a story about walk-in medical clinics, Tom Costello told us that, "Doctors Express is now a national franchise, like McDonald's or Burger King." More plugs for regular NBC advertisers.
>The broadcast's final story was about a football coach being called up as a Navy reservist. Once again, Nightly News ran a football-related story to promote NBC's Sunday Night Football coverage, which immediately followed the news.

Brian: Yes, the mid-term election is upon us. More tons of information will be on its way before the big day. This will be a historical day, because it will determine the direction of the country. those who choose to stay at home, have no right to complain about the results. The people who don't vote, might be the ones who do make a difference in determining our future. I'll catch you on tonight's broadcast.

Brian,

I was appalled by the woman who was stomped by a Rand Paul supporter and appalled as well by one who

said it wasn't as bad as it looked. I believe what I see.

Another hit by Mother Nature The wind was so strong in Louisville today it blew the lid off our hot tub.

It makes my day that bullying will no longer be

Have a nice evening
