It's exactly five weeks until the General Election and with the first week of campaigning nearly finished, all seven main party leaders turned up to ITV Studios tonight (April 2) to debate four main issues and tell voters their policies.
David Cameron for the Conservatives, Ed Miliband the Labour Party, the Lib Dem's Nick Clegg, Nigel Farage of Ukip, leader of the Green Party Natalie Bennet, Nicola Sturgeon for the Snp and Leanne Wood of Plaid Cymru all took to their podiums and discussed the economy, immigration, the NHS and education.
And here's what Twitter thought of the two-hour programme:
The set's blue hue and sheer number of podiums required for all seven leaders brought one TV show in particular to mind:
Its time to play, The Weakest Link. #leadersdebate

David Calhoun did a lot of good turning around Nielsen‘s fortunes when he joined as CEO of the ratings company in 2006 after being a top lieutenant at Jack Welch’s Ge. (In this town, that success did not trickle down to one of Nielsen’s holdings, trade mag The Hollywood Reporter, which continued to bleed money and staff under Nielsen control until it was sold off with other publications for a song three years later.) Calhoun, already set to step down as Nielsen CEO on January 1, will join Blackstone Group to head its portfolio-operations group, the Wall Street Journal is reporting today. He will be tasked with boosting some of the company’s 77 holdings while also consulting on new buyouts. He will retain the executive chairman title at Nielsen as part of the deal. Earlier this month, Nielsen said company veteran Mitch Barnes would succeed Calhoun as CEO; the...

By the time he brought Revelation upon Los Angeles in the form of frog rain, Paul Thomas Anderson had already achieved a level of formal and thematic completeness in his body of work which is rare for any director, let alone one with only three films and thirty years of life behind him. Comparisons to prior masters were abundant: Anderson applied the restless dynamism of Scorsese’s roving camera and propulsive editing to Altman-esque ensemble narratives. He enfolded Jean Renoir’s empathetic view of human nature in playful, flamboyant set-pieces worthy of Orson Welles. And indeed Anderson’s earliest work, particularly “Boogie Nights” (1997), is arguably marred at times by a too-obvious impulse to both flaunt these influences and to do them one better. The development of his varied style, assembled at a young age from diverse antecedents, toward an apex in the divisive go-for-broke epic “Magnolia” (1999), reflected his own version...

Kirk Cameron says that speaking the "truth" about gays is "love speech." Some of his past truths have included calling homosexuality “destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization" and calliing gays "unnatural." Now he says “The truth is always love speech, it’s not hate speech. The truth, communicated with compassion, with the desire to see people in a right relationship with God, helped, and healed, and whole, is the most genuine form of love speech you can give to anyone.” Hey Kirk – kids are dying from love over here.
We're still a ways from the release of Monsters University, but Pixar has launched a stunning site for the university portrayed in the movie, from fraternity life to applications that you can spend several hours exploring.

Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, has quit his writing gigs at Fortune magazine and Reuters following his tweet last week accusing on the Bureau of Labor Statistics of cooking the latest employment numbers. The message -- which claimed that President Obama's people had put out a false, optimistic jobs report the morning after the first presidential debate -- set Twitter ablaze with criticism. "Unbelievable jobs numbers .. these Chicago guys will do anything .. can't debate so change numbers," he tweeted. Later that day, Welch told MSNBC that he had no evidence...

Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews on Friday to defend his assertion that the Bureau of Labor Statistics survey which surge in employment forcing the unemployment metric down from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent is flawed. The interview between Matthews and Welch quickly descended into a heated debate over the veracity of the Bls figures and the charge that there was a corrupt effort to rig the unemployment rate to help President Barack Obama win reelection.

Jack Welch And Eric Bolling ‘Ask Questions’ About Jobs Numbers From ‘Ideologues’ At Labor Department
Appearing on Fox News this afternoon, former General Electric CEO Jack Welch doubled down on his allegations that the Obama administration's September jobs report was falsified to look better than the economic reality. Standing by his remarks, Welch told guest-host Eric Bolling that he was just asking questions about Bureau of Labor Statistics methodology and felt it was too much of a coincidence for the numbers to be this good a month before President Obama is up for re-election.

Thursday morning, the Yale community awoke to a momentous email: Richard Levin, the president of the university since 1993 announced that he would step down at the end of the academic year.
Yale's dean of undergraduate education Joseph Gordon, whose roughly 35 years at Yale overlap almost entirely with Levin's, expressed the feeling of many on campus when he said that, although he'd known Levin would eventually retire, the assurance and ease of his presidency makes the thought of his departure difficult to absorb.
"It's hard to separate him from the whole place for the last 20 years," Gordon said. "He changed so much. He made Yale so much a better place. He took a great place and made it even better."
Many of those changes will linger on far beyond Levin's departure, forming a remarkable legacy that has led some to call him the greatest president Yale has had in its 311-year history.

New York -- After being fired as NBC entertainment president toward the end of the "must see TV" period in 1998, Warren Littlefield packed photos, papers, awards and other memorabilia into a self-storage unit and turned the key.
For 10 years he paid the rent and never stopped by. Finally, on a Saturday afternoon, he unlocked the vault and began combing through the boxes – a process of rediscovery that eventually led to his new book, "Top of the Rock: Inside the Rise and Fall of Must See TV."
Jerry Seinfeld, Kelsey Grammer, Lisa Kudrow, Anthony Edwards and Debra Messing are among more than 50 people who help Littlefield tell inside stories about "Seinfeld," "Friends," "Frasier," "ER," "Will & Grace" and what went on within NBC to make its Thursday-night lineup the most powerful one in television during the 1990s.

A trio of moguls -- Donald Trump, Barry Diller and Jack Welch -- are jumping to Rupert Murdoch's defense in the U.K. phone-hacking scandal where a parliamentary committee dubbed the News Corp. leader "not fit" to run a major global company. On Tuesday, the committee condemned Murdoch, his son (and News Corp. deputy COO) James Murdoch and the conglomerate's News International U.K. newspaper unit for not being proactive or misleading probes into the hacking scandal. "Their instinct throughout, until it was too late, was to cover up rather than seek out wrongdoing and discipline the perpetrators, as they also

Republican hopeful Ron Paul stopped by John King USA and hit back at former Ge CEO Jack Welch who earlier called for him to step down from the race. "The former Ge CEO Jack Welsh doesn't think you'll win the nomination but he also says the Republican Party better be careful. Do you feel the party's treating you well, sir?" "I think they're making an attempt to do so. And I think he has something going there," Paul observed.

Reuters announced just a few days ago that former Ge CEO Jack Welch and his wife Suzy would be writing a weekly column for them. Their first one appeared today and they have been absolutely everywhere promoting it. Fortunately, it's a bit of a doozy. In the column, they argue that Ron Paul will definitely not be receiving the Gop nomination but, even after he drops out, he'll still be deciding the election thanks to his incredibly passionate base.

All four of our children are huge Ron Paul followers," Suzy acknowledged. "So we're living with this."...

New York — It was the 1980s, relatively early in his career, and Steve Jobs was traveling in Japan. In a hotel lobby, a gaggle of girls came up and asked for his autograph.
Jay Elliot was an Apple executive at the time, traveling with Jobs. "I was thinking, wow, how many CEOs have girls coming up and asking them for autographs?" Elliot says now.
Over the next few decades, Jobs' fame only increased, of course, and exponentially.
By the time he died on Wednesday, after years of medical problems, Jobs had appeared on some 100 magazine covers and had numerous books written about him, not to mention an off-Broadway play, an HBO movie, even a "South Park" episode. He wasn't the first celebrity CEO, and he won't be the last. But he may have been the first in modern times to transcend the business world and become a veritable pop culture icon.
