| Meredith forms new company with Learfield
Magazine publisher Meredith Corp. is reaching out to ruralpolitans, a growing group of city folk who have found their place on rural acreages.
The Des Moines-based company said Thursday it had formed a new company called Living the Country Life LLC with Learfield Communications Inc., a Missouri-based broadcast company that produces news, farm and sports programming.
The new company will provide ruralpolitans with information on buying and maintaining rural acreages.
Living the Country Life is Merediths five-year-old magazine aimed at rural residents who work in the city. The company created a television program from that magazine about two years ago that airs in half-hour segments on RFD-TV.
Under the joint partnership, Living the Country Life will be expanded to include radio programming, an improved Web site and at least two more editions yearly of the magazine.

Liquidation sale
If we add to this his anticipated report about the management of the home front during the war and the Winograd Committee report, we can easily grasp why Ehud Olmert is so irritable and his government so helpless. At the beginning of his term (and that was only a year ago), he radiated endless optimism and fired off proposals. He spoke about evacuating tens of thousands of settlers as part of the convergence plan and about a diplomatic solution. In the economic sphere, he spoke about reforms, structural changes and a far-reaching social revolution.
But now Olmert is deeply entrenched in the mud and totally on the defensive. He no longer puts forward initiatives; nor does he stand on principle. He does not even dream of moving a single settlement in the West Bank, legal or illegal.
