When an institution like the Bank of America has technical problems and its corporate site stays offline without notice, the customers’ concerns flow, and the media has a duty to keep the public informed. The first to report BofA’s problem was Business Insider’s John Carney, who specified in his report that “a tipster speculates that it is possible that Bank of America has been the victim of a cyber-attack.” Regardless the cause of this malfunction, when a site stays offline a few good hours – especially a site that is basically a portal between consumers and their financial accounts – the owner has the duty and the obligation to release an announcement that explains the issue. On its Twitter account, BofA doesn’t offer explanations, but the following statement : Yes, we are aware of the issue and our technical team is working to resolve it as soon as possible. Thx for your patience. Not long ago, the same BofA Twitter team posted the following : Our website is available. However...

Leave it to the dining critic to find a food angle on the death of J.D. Salinger. Sam Sifton led us to “This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise,” a story in the October 1945 Esquire that has nothing to do with sandwiches or mayo. It’s about a soldier waiting to go to a dance and thinking of his brother, Holden Caulfield, who is missing in action. There’s more food imagery in ‘Franny and Zooey , as when Franny’s date orders a sophisticated French meal and she has a chicken sandwich that she doesn’t touch. Of course, Eric Asimov’s recollections of “Catcher in the Rye” are more bibulous. “I remember somebody drinking a Tom Collins,” he said, “only because it inspired me at an impressionable age to try to make one.” Salinger’s father, Sol, was a successful food importer, who took him to Austria and Poland in 1937, “where the father’s plan was for him to learn the ham business,” Charles McGrath writes in his wonderful obituary of Salinger. And in 1961, James E. Bryan wrote an essay calle...

Skeletal remains found on a Virginia farm may be that of Morgan Harrington, but an official identification has not yet been made. Harrington’s mother Gil spoke to a local CBS affiliate, saying the remains are “probably” her daughters, and Harrington’s parents were on the scene to assist in identifying the body: “We don’t think it’s been proved definitively yet, but it’s most likely,” she said. “So, we want to go and be on hand and see if that determination can be made. Or if we can help in making that determination.” Gil Harrington said she wanted to thank people for all their prayers and the efforts to find Morgan. “I was hoping we would find her alive, but at least we won’t always be wondering for a lifetime,” she said. David Bass, owner of Anchorage Farm where the body was located, told press he was checking fences in a cow pasture when he discovered the remains. He initially believed the body to be that of a deer, but contacted police when he realized that it may have belo...

Has everyone seen that Pediasure commercial where the little girl is telling her mom that she doesn't like everything that her mother puts in the cart? And while we are talking about Pediasure has anyone been dumb enough to actually buy the stuff? Don't be offended that I am calling you dumb-I bought a huge case at Sams when Laura Grace was a toddler. I went home triumphant, ecstatic and oh so confident that I deserved the Mommy Of The Year award. I was a nutritionist, I was a genius, I was so beyond my finicky eater... And then she spit out the first sip. Into my face. Screaming that it was medicine. I took a drink and spit it out also-just back into the can. Anyway, back to that little girl with her mother. WAIT-I have one more thing to say about the commercial. Has anyone other than me noticed that moms in commercials all look the same? That they are ALL wearing khakis and a cardigan sweater with a shirt underneath OR a button up blouse with a shirt underneath!?!? It is like...
