A fellow on the Pentax camera forum stuck a DSLR camera into a padded box and sent it up with a weather balloon. 

 

He got some nice photos from the way up, up to 104,000ft:   http://www.flickr.co...9049987/detail/

Fox’s Chris Wallace will be moving from Fox to CNN to try and plug the gaping hole from Cuomo’s firing.

I didn’t realize these anchors were so interchangeable.

This might explain Cenk’s recent blow-ups. Thought he had it.

I'm no Don Lemon fan, but what he said the other day was no big deal.  I think even right after he said it, he was unsure what he was trying to convey.  It's just like he said it for something to say in the moment, as he wanted to say something negative towards Haley.

News anchor Don Lemon will not appear on CNN This Morning on Monday after making a sexist comment about women.

 

A representative for the television personality has confirmed to Deadline that Lemon would not appear on CNN This Morning on Monday, although the rep noted that he was simply taking the President's Day holiday off.

 

Lemon has come under fire over a comment he made about when women are in their "prime" during Thursday's episode of the show.

 

The 56-year-old claimed that presidential contender Nikki Haley, 51, "is not in her prime, sorry, when a woman is considered to be in her prime is her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s".

 

When asked what he meant by "prime", the host said, "It depends. It's just like prime, if you look it up. If you Google, 'when is a woman in her prime', it will say, 20s, 30s and 40s."

 

Lemon was absent from Friday's episode due to scheduled time off. Sara Sidner has been set as his temporary replacement, joining co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins.

 

CNN Chairman and CEO Chris Licht issued a staff call on Friday in which he called Lemon's statements "unacceptable".

Amid ongoing criticism over his comments about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, Don Lemon was absent Monday from "CNN This Morning." Co-host Poppy Harlow told viewers that "Don has the day off."

 

Lemon has not been on the air since Thursday, when during a discussion on "CNN This Morning" about the ages of politicians he said that the 51-year-old Haley was not "in her prime." A woman, he said, was considered in her prime "in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s."

 

Challenged by Harlow, Lemon added: "Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just saying what the facts are."

Embattled CNN host Don Lemon will return to his morning show on Wednesday following an extended absence amid his controversial remarks about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, according to a memo from CNN boss Chris Licht to staff.

"I sat down with Don and had a frank and meaningful conversation. He has agreed to participate in formal training, as well as continuing to listen and learn. We take this situation very seriously," Licht told staff in the memo obtained by Fox News Digital late Monday .

"It is important to me that CNN balances accountability with a fostering a culture in which people can own, learn and grow from their mistakes. To that end, Don will return to CNN This Morning on Wednesday," Licht added.
