Joe Shepard and his spouse, Sen. Claire McCaskill huddled over Saturday brunch at Pumpernickel’s Deli. She might have been getting tips for her appearance today as host of “Kitchen Table Talk” at Columbia, MO.’s public library. . .A journalist is someone employed to regularly engage in gathering, processing and disseminating news and information to serve the public interest, says MU doctoral candidate Edson Tandoc, Jr. He believes that it’s important to establish a consistent definition of a journalist especially with the shifting of the media landscape due to technology and social media. . .Also at Mizzou, the university has filed 278 U.S. patents and signed 204 options and licenses for new technologies developed there. . .Recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) got smaller checks as of Nov. 1 due to the Senate cut of about $40 billion over 10 years. . .Blockbuster’s last movie rental: “This is the End,” while closing 300 remaining stores by 2014. . .Phillip Seymour Hoffman joins the cast of “Hunger Games: Catching Fire” in the second installment. . .Video accounts for 53 percent of Internet traffic with Netflix accounting for 31.6 percent and YouTube at 18.6 percent, according to tracking firm, Sandvine. . .CNN Worldwide has lured media/entertainement writer Brian Stelter from The New York Times to serve as host of “Reliable Sources.” He will also be senior correspondent. . .Today’s issue of the St. Louis Review includes the archdiocesan annual financial statement, which shows the church spending on clergy sex abuse has risen again and the total abuse-related expenses have now topped $10 million since 2004. It also shows that, for the last eight years, no payments have been made for “clergy counseling.” One wonders “Are pedophile priests getting any psychological help at all?”
