FCC Opens Radio Airways to Small, Nonprofit Local Stations
Thursday, March 22, 2012
Advocates of community radio won an important victory this week when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced it would dismiss a backlog of more than 6,000 pending applications for what are known as translators and open the application process to Low Power FM (LPFM) stations.
Translators are repeater stations that rebroadcast distant radio stations, something commercial radio networks rely on to pull in million-listener audiences. LPFM stations will now have access to the same frequencies previously dominated by the big networks.
Generally speaking, LPFM stations are run by nonprofit groups such as colleges, churches, schools, labor unions and other community organizations, and have a range of 5 to 10 miles.
According to the Prometheus Radio Project, "Low power community stations are non-commercial and cost as little as $10,000 to launch, putting these stations within reach of many communities who have limited access to other media outlets."
The Local Community Radio Act was signed into law by President Barack Obama on January 7, 2011, but it has taken more than a year for the FCC to sort out the implementation of the law.

To the uninitiated, there may seem to be few connections between big businesses and rap. But in fact, corporate behemoths have been producing rap and R&B worker-training videos for almost as long as the music industry has been producing regular rap and R&B music videos.
Here, seven of the best corporate instructional videos from the last 30 years:
1. Wendy's: Grill Skills
Someone with a Reddit account this weekend dug up this treasure: A Wendy's training video that starts as a cozy walk-and-chat with the restaurant's founder, Dave Thomas, but quickly evolves into a video inside a video inside a video, the deepest of which features a psychedelic rap song about how to grill burgers, complete with singing meat patty ladies with long black lashes.
2. Wendy's: Hot Drinks
Wendy's actually made a series of R&B videos in the mid-1980s, like this one, which lists the company's best practices for serving hot drinks in four verses — one each for coffee, decaf, tea, and hot chocolate. Yes, this means an entire verse is dedicated to explaining how to pour coffee into a Styrofoam cup.
3. McDonald's: Clean It
Sometime in that same decade — the year is unclear — McDonald's produced this impeccably choreographed take on Michael Jackson's "Beat It." It features a bizzaro Michael Jackson wearing a too-big white glove, who does the moonwalk while barking cleaning instructions at his backup dancers.
4. Nando's: Wrapper's Delight
Nando's more current, and somehow more uncomfortable, entry isn't so much a training video as a motivational tune to promote the franchise's new chicken wraps. Oh, and it's set to "Rapper's Delight." The most informative line in the song: "You know we take checkbooks, credit cards — all money."
5. Pier 1 Imports:
In 2001, the pricey furnishings and decor company Pier 1 Imports got in on the action with this original rap video starring an excited skinny white couple and their necessarily black salesman. It's chock-full of awkwardly worded advice: "The key to the sale is to make a connection / Why not start with a humorous question?"
6. Once in a Blue Moose: Selling Is Service
This one, for Once in a Blue Moose, a gift shop in Alaska that sells everything from fine jewelry to moose-ear headbands, is a lot like the Pier 1 video, but with a really, really low budget. Which somehow makes it a lot more endearing.
7. Southern California Rapid Transit District: Bus Rapping
What do you get when you combine rapping, public transit, and a boss irritated by workers showing up late? Some pretty choice lyrics, that's what: "While you were out there gettin' your yucks, the public was out $5 million bucks / That's how much maintenance uses each year, to make up for workers who just ain't here."

It served no purpose other than to keep this series going for the duration of Forever Evil while they waited for Lemire to come along and relaunch it as Justice League United. Kindt's take on both Martian Manhunter and Stargirl is so uncompelling that I think the arc would have been more interesting if it showed all Justice Leaguers banding together and trying to escape the Firestorm matrix, thus making up for their six-month absence from the main JL series.shagamuhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-72020380624258273212014-09-12T08:48:09.696-05:002014-09-12T08:48:09.696-05:00Reading the two books interspersed might be intere...Reading the two books interspersed might be interesting, though I feel Forever Evil was so seamless that to add in the Cyborg issues especially, every other chapter, might break up the flow. Maybe they could put in all the Cyborg chapters between Forever Evil #6-7, or something.

My only "huh?" moment in the whole thing, as you mentioned, was Black Adam's sudden reappearance. When the inevitable Shazam! series comes along, I hope that issue is included. I was disappointed that it was only collected in the Villains Omnibus and that the Villains Omnibus isn't available digital.collectededitionshttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-14621744023471653662014-09-12T07:55:46.627-05:002014-09-12T07:55:46.627-05:00If DC ever decides to give Forever Evil the Absolu...If DC ever decides to give Forever Evil the Absolute treatment, it would be a good idea to include these Justice League tie-in issues interspersed with the main mini series, just like they did with the Green Lantern tie-in issues in Absolute Blackest Night. They're a great complement to the main narrative, although people who haven't read the Black Adam Villains Month issue by Johns and Gates (only collected in the New 52 Villains Omnibus, apparently) might wonder how the character came back after his apparent demise at the end of the Shazam serial.shagamuhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-25159558399194022442014-09-10T22:02:57.263-05:002014-09-10T22:02:57.263-05:00First I have to say thanks for these reviews. I go...First I have to say thanks for these reviews. I got The Invisibles after reading them back when they were originally posted. Now I've just read the entire series for a second time and think I understood whats going on, SPOILERS follow:
King Mob mentions several times the idea that are universe is a hologram created where two larger extra-dimensional ('extra' as in both outside and with more dimensions) meet. These are referred to in the series as universe A and B. B is the evil, hellish universe that Jack visits and where the Archons and King-of-All-Tears reside. A is never as clearly referenced as the good universe and the final issues reveal the Harlequin as coming from there.
Our universe appears flat to these extra-dimensional beings and they play a game with it's inhabitants like it was a chess board. This game is the entire Invisibles series with the Invisibles and the Outer Church being the black and white pieces. The magic mirror/the thing in Roswell is akin to the Bleed from Final Crisis (both are called ultramentruum), the material that the universes are suspended in.
However, I think the idea of Robin donning a fiction suit to go into her own story is a metaphor for the fact that we, humans, make our lives, our world, into stories, placing ourselves in them. At the start of the series there's a lot of mystery as new readers are eager to know who are The Invisibles fighting and the whole series draws upon the unease we feel that there are greater powers at work, and of course it's main premise is that the stories, religions, magic and conspiracies that we create to try to explain and control those powers; they are all true. Yet King Mob often questions whether they are fighting the right thing in the right way. So in the final issue, when Dane says "We made gods and jailers because we felt small and alone", Morrison seems to be saying the very opposite; that these things ARE just stories, The Invisibles never were fighting against anyone other than their own (perfectly natural, perfectly human) paranoia.
I think, and this way be reaching a bit more, that he says the answer to these human problems, the paranoia, the feeling of being small and alone, is not the individualism and hedonism of The Invisibles, the 'building your little house called me', but through transcendence - the denial of self that comes from meditation, which feels like becoming one with the universe or fusing with the Supercontext. When all humanity realises this, when the 'larval consciousness' confronts and integrates the "not self", 'being a necessary stage in the development of the larva's maturing self-awareness', we will usher in the new age of the world that Dane, the Buddha, does.
If I remember correctly this matches Morrison's recount in Supergods of his development from his thirties, when he altered his consciousness with drugs and experienced contact with aliens or some higher power, which he realised was just a story his mind constructed and he started looking for transcendence and altered states of consciousness without the drugs as he headed into his forties (writing The Invisibles would have stretched from his early/mid-30s into his fortieth year).Glinthttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-84350391210759570692014-09-10T09:37:00.115-05:002014-09-10T09:37:00.115-05:00That's the Comment of the Day, my friend.

That death you mention was really the nadir of Injustice for me, a moment so dark and kind of pointlessly ironic that I felt the title had hit its lowest point. However, I think that also marked the end of where Taylor had to do things for the sake of the game and not the sake of the story, and I liked Injustice Year One Vol. 2 much better than Vol. 1.

But I didn't like the Green Lantern movie and I wasn't too keen on Man of Steel either; I think Warner Bros needs to figure out how to make a grown-up superhero movie with action and likable characters.

I understand that by including the one Leaguer who is considered to be an anti-thesis of Luthor (while Lex believes Superman is stunting humanity, Batman believes he is improving it), a contrast can be made....but Batman was entirely just there for the Nightwing revelation and made to look like a rookie otherwise!

Johns attempts to make Batman look 'human' (the ring incidents, one where he fails and that other when it is stolen) just made me go...huh? Batman is the master strategist who threads through the worlds of Gods and Monsters and comes out unscratched....and this is not that guy.

Still, Johns handling of Luthor and other villains (Cold, Sinestro and Manta are all beneficiaries) should be considered revolutionary. One dimensional, mustache-twirling schemers are of the past. Instead there are moments where I feel the hero has been in the wrong instead of the villain.

For me, Forever Evil is a celebration of the real anti-heroes of the DC universe - the ones who aren't totally gone like the Joker or Braniac, and aren't heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman. And in that, it succeded.Avishek Chatterjeehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-75356834542846808372014-09-05T05:43:04.550-05:002014-09-05T05:43:04.550-05:00I havent read Animal Man so I cant compare Swap Th...I havent read Animal Man so I cant compare Swap Thing to it, but I really liked volume 3 of Swap Thing.

The use of North Korea as a backdrop was particularly effective, especially in light of the fairly recent confirmation of the atrocities committed in the camps there (which in some ways manage to go beyond those committed during WWII). Tying in this reality with Captain America, Wolverine and Deadpool's background was a masterstroke and made their presence together actually so much more compelling than most cross-overs of this kind.

Johns just knows how to deliver the big moments and twists you expect from this kind of story, and even though I wasn't originally excited abou the idea of a ragtag team of villains plus Batman being the main characters while the rest of the Justice League gets sidelined, his portrayal of Luthor and Bizarro really won me over.

Also, while I'm not fond of Johns's habit of ending his events with a teaser of something even bigger yet to come, I can't help being excited about what he's got planned for the Anti-Monitor and Darkseid.shagamuhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-32881950173479098522014-09-04T09:38:10.067-05:002014-09-04T09:38:10.067-05:00SPOILERS -- Reading between the lines, I take it p...SPOILERS -- Reading between the lines, I take it people are complaining about the League being defeated off-panel? That's not quite accurate. Trinity War ends with the Crime Syndicate arriving, and the League is down but not out necessarily. Forever Evil starts shortly after this, and the League is "missing"; a few chapters in, Batman finally makes it to safety and reports on the League's fate in flashback -- that one of the Syndicate exploded Firestorm and somehow all the League gets stuck in Firestorm's matrix as he re-forms (comics, everyone!).

So I wouldn't call it off-panel per se, but nor do we get to see their defeats, plural; in flashback we get to see how they were defeated collectively. I can imagine how some readers might have a problem with it; I call it strategic withholding and giving of information to the reader for suspense's sake.collectededitionshttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-89975998236390004632014-09-04T08:17:29.445-05:002014-09-04T08:17:29.445-05:00My eyes just keep glazing over whenever I try to r...My eyes just keep glazing over whenever I try to read the "Forever Evil" Wikipedia entry, so maybe you can help me out on this.

29 million IKEA lamps recalled after infant strangled
1.1 million lamps sold in Canada; company offers free repair kit
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The strangulation death of one infant and near strangulation of another has spurred IKEA to recall 1.1 million wall-mounted children's lamps in Canada and millions more around the world.
IKEA Canada said there have been no children injured in this country but a 16-month-old infant in a crib in Scotland became entangled in the cord of the lamp and died. Another 15-month-old baby was nearly strangled.
In both cases, IKEA said, the infants had pulled the dangling cord into their cribs.
People with the lamp in their homes should stop using them and contact the company for a repair kit to attach the cord to a wall. IKEA Canada said customers can also pick up a repair kit at stores.
The Swedish furniture company sold about 23 million of the "Smila" series of brightly coloured lamps in the shapes of flowers, moons, hearts, seashells and other objects from 1999 through May, 2013, the company said.
To determine if their lamp was involved in the recall, consumers can find the model name printed on a label on the inside back of the lamp near the light bulb.

Roosevelt Row named one of 55 ArtPlace America grantees, receives $90K
Send this to a friend
- Alicia Canales
- Editorial intern- Phoenix Business Journal
Roosevelt Row Community Development Corp. has received a $90,000 grant from ArtPlace America.
ArtPlace America made 55 grants to 79 communities for creative placemaking projects, according to a statement released today. Creative Placemaking is using art and culture to transform communities economically, socially, or physically.
"I think it's a reaffirmation of the critical role artists can have in building healthy vibrant communities," said Greg Esser, president of the Roosevelt Row CDC board of directors.
Roosevelt Row CDC will use the grant primarily to look at a model of affordable housing within the district. Esser said the organization will repurpose and stack shipping containers to create artist living and working spaces.
"(It was) a delightfully unexpected proposed solution of creating artist living workspace in a way that's relatively quick, relatively inexpensive … and available to anyone interested in taking advantage of what they developed," said Jaime Bennett, executive director of ArtPlace America.
Esser said they will be working on addressing policy and design issues as they evaluate sites for the stacked shipping container project. He hopes to have the project finished in 18 months.
The grant also will be used to fund programs that will help keep the focus on businesses as construction takes place on Roosevelt Row, he said.
ArtPlace America invested a total of $14.7 million in grant monies that were distributed in 31 states. Roosevelt Row CDC was the only recipient in Arizona. Some of the organizations on the list include: Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History in California, Fusebox Festival in Texas and Design Museum Boston in Massachusetts.
Roosevelt Row CDC was awarded a $150,000 ArtPlace America grant in 2012. The grant funded several projects including Feast on the Street and the CDC's growth and development plan released earlier this year.

Tiger, Tiger
Tiger one to tiger two
Tiger one says I love you
Tiger two does not reply
So tiger one, he starts to cry
Tiger two says why you cry?
Tiger one says 'you did not reply'
Tiger two says I need not to
Tiger one says why?
Tiger two says i love you
Tiger one says i love you too
Tiger one says why oh why?
Why didnt you reply?
Tiger two says I love you
I don't have to say it
You know its true
Now you know the reason why
Tiger two did not reply
Tiger one realises why
Tiger two did not reply
So tiger one he starts to smile
And says tiger two is very fine
For tiger two is my dearest babe
Whome I think of everyday
And tiger two I cannot wait
To see your pretty face again

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State University's new travel policy requires that a consultant pass judgment on private aircraft and pilots used by the school.
Age of pilot in Oklahoma State plane crash a cause for concern, expert says
One such consultant expressed reservations Monday about allowing an 82-year-old man to fly a plane on university business as was the case in a Nov. 17, 2011, crash that killed four people, including two OSU coaches.
Kirk Koenig, president of the Indianapolis-based firm Expert Aviation Consulting, said flights like the one that crashed have relatively little federal oversight.
The single-engine Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee aircraft crashed into the mountains of central Arkansas, killing pilot Olin Branstetter, 82; women's basketball coach Kurt Budke, assistant coach Miranda Serna and Branstetter's wife, Paula.
Federal officials haven't determined the cause of the crash. National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Terry Williams said the agency expects to release an accident report early next year.
There's no specific age at which a pilot would be considered unfit to fly, Koenig said, but when a pilot the age of Branstetter flies a small aircraft, it could raise concerns.
Koenig said federal law requires commercial pilots to retire at age 65. As a private pilot, Branstetter wouldn't have fallen under that provision.
Federal restrictions tend to be more lax regarding private pilots than for charter or airline pilots. Unlike commercial airline pilots, private pilots generally don't risk the safety of hundreds of passengers. Most private pilots act responsibly, he said, since they put themselves at risk when they don't.
"Worst-case scenario, you're generally killing yourself," Koenig said. "And most people generally have self-preservation as their No. 1 issue."
Koenig said the age of Branstetter's plane, built in 1964, would have been less of a concern. If a plane receives proper maintenance, it could be airworthy for decades, he said.

Comcast's Internet Program for Low-Income Customers Is Getting a Makeover
Comcast's Internet Essentials program offers cheap Internet access to poor customers. It started in 2011 as an FCC condition of Comcast's acquisition of NBCUniversal. And now with Comcast's pending Time Warner Cable purchase, the company is beefing up Internet Essentials to try and prove its commitment to serving a diverse customer base.
Currently the program offers 5 Mbps download speeds and 1 Mbps upload speeds, so this isn't exactly glamorous access, but it's good enough for basic browsing. And Comcast also sells low-end laptops and desktops through Internet Essentials for under $200. Additionally, Comcast announced Monday that it will now offer new Internet Essentials subscribers six months of free service when they sign up, and will roll out an "amnesty" program for customers who have an outstanding balance from bills that are more than a year old.
David L. Cohen, Comcast's executive vice president of community investment, wrote in a statement that, "There are deeply entrenched barriers to broadband adoption. … We're doing this because there is no more important back to school supply than Internet service at home. In today's classrooms, as well as in the workforce, students need to be digitally ready."
Internet Essentials is controversial in a number of ways. Some advocates have alleged that the program is prohibitively difficult to sign up for, and critics, including some on Slate, have also noted Comcast's conflict of interest as a large for-profit corporation delivering what would normally be a government or charitable service.
So far Comcast has enrolled 350,000 families, or more than 1.4 million people, in Internet Essentials, and by forgiving outstanding bills that are more than a year old, even more people will be able to qualify. (You can't sign up if you owe Comcast money.) The promotion for six free months ends on Sept. 20, so it should usher in even more users. Time for the huddled masses to flock to Comcast.
Future Tense is a partnership of Slate, New America, and Arizona State University.

Denzel Washington, "He Got Game" (Spike Lee, 1998).
Derrick Williams. Director/Writer
On Twitter. @Derrickfilmdude.
Denzel Washington, "He Got Game" (Spike Lee, 1998).
"Gyllenhaal is a revelation once again, and the control of his instrument is a wonderful thing to witness. The character is unhinged, but precisely pitched. Unblinking and haunted, one imagines a rich back story for this character. While it's never explicitly stated, much is suggested by Gyllenhaal's fractured, on-the-edge performance and the environment around him; a lifetime of loneliness and isolation from an indifferent world that's about to crack and manifest itself in all kinds of ugly fissures. The harsh fluorescent brilliance of "Nightcrawler" is just how in tune Gyllenhaal, Gilroy and the movie are. Bloom and the movie slowly uncoil in tandem lock and step to unveil much more than an unsocialized loner who's listened to too many of Tony Robbins' motivational speeches. But Gyllenhaal isn't scene-chewing, and the humanity glimpsed early on is perhaps what makes his sinister transformation so creepy." [x]
Nightcrawler | Dan Gilroy, 2014
"I was special. The only colored kid in the class. I became sort of a mascot. Like a pink poodle. I was called a nigger so many times, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. I thought that was my name. They talked about me like I wasn't there. Like I was a pedigreed dog or a horse. Like I was invisible."

The craic is back: The boom years are over and Dublin has recaptured its friendly charm
The roar of the Celtic tiger scared off more than a few visitors from making a return trip to Dublin during Ireland's years of soaring prosperity. For a start, the holiday cost a clean fortune. Between the exchange rate and plain boom-time exploitation, hotels and restaurants seemed to be charging Tokyo prices.
Plus Irish charm was in short supply. Taxi drivers were too busy telling you about the block of flats they'd flipped in Bratislava to point out the house where Oscar Wilde grew up in Merrion Square.
Bars were staffed by hard-working Eastern Europeans, while many Irish, feeling affluent with easy credit, were no longer keen to be pulling pints. The famed Irish 'craic' was as hard to come by as a Dubliner driving a second-hand car.

The spectacular collapse of the Irish economy has led to plenty of introspection around the dinner tables of negative-equity Georgian houses and the kitchen islands of loft-style apartments that never needed to be built.
There's been as much contemplation in Ireland about the psyche of its people in those boom years as there has about why banks and politicians were allowed to continue unchecked. One upshot is that Dublin seems to have reconnected with its prestigious literary heritage, and is extremely keen to promote a new generation of literary and artistic voices which a few years ago may have been drowned out by the popping of hedge-funders' champagne corks.
For visitors, post-bailout Dublin is a more welcoming and affordable place. A great way to explore the city on foot is to take a literary walking tour - there are a wealth of these year round.
You can visit the Abbey Theatre, originally run by W.B. Yeats, where J.M. Synge's The Playboy Of The Western World caused riots when it was first performed, and Trinity College, which educated many of Ireland's literary greats from Jonathan Swift to Wilde. Then settle in for pint of Guinness in McDaid's, the watering hole of choice for Irish writers such as Patrick Kavanagh, Flann O'Brien and Brendan Behan.
But a more contemporary slice of Dublin literary life is found a few miles out of the city centre, past those elegant streets and squares of Georgian architecture, that were built when Dublin was a great city of the Empire.

Along the coast to the southern end of Dublin bay lies the village of Dalkey. Although it's now really a suburb of Dublin, Dalkey has a distinct village feel and a rich heritage dating from Viking times. Two of its seven medieval castles still remain; one, Goat Castle, presides over the main street and is now the Heritage Centre.
Dalkey sits above a pretty harbour, where locals buy fresh fish on the pier and seals, which look as tame as labradors, hoover up the scraps.
It overlooks a tiny island that gives the village its name. Around the headland is the spectacular sweep of Killiney Bay and the Wicklow mountains beyond. The views have been compared to the Amalfi Coast, a fact that is reflected in the Italianate local names: Nerano Road, Sorrento Terrace.
There are stunning walks in the hills above Dalkey to an obelisk built during the famine to provide work and a pittance for the starving.
It's one of the most breathtaking spots in Ireland and it's on Dublin's doorstep. Unsurprisingly, I'm not the first person to have noticed this.
On the way up the hill you can find Torca Cottage, where George Bernard Shaw lived for years.
Today, Dalkey is Irish celebrity central, home to a roll-call of rock stars, authors and film directors. Bono, The Edge, Enya, Van Morrison, Lisa Stansfield and Neil Jordan are all neighbours. Authors Roddy Doyle and Joseph O'Connor grew up here (along with his sister Sinead).
With such a wealth of local literary talent, I was visiting for the Dalkey Book Festival. In a tiny art gallery, author Kevin Barry held us spell bound as he read from his first novel, City Of Bohane. I wasn't the least surprised when he was later short listed for a Costa award.

Dalkey is worth the trip out of Dublin any time of year but in June, when the festival is on, the village is buzzing with a party atmosphere.
A highlight was meeting Dalkey bred Maeve Binchy, who sadly died this July. But perhaps the most memorable event was a midnight rendition of Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask Of Amontillado ('the bells, bells, bells') at various sites around the graveyard of St Begnet's Church. We were well supplied with brandy to beat the literal and metaphorical chill.
In between the debates, comedy and readings there was time to sample the local bars and restaurants or to whizz down the road to Dun Laoghaire for a meal in Caviston's Seafood Restaurant (a local institution).
There are outdoor jazz bands and barbecues on the cobbled ground that was once the terminus for the Dalkey tram, which also gets a mention in Ulysses.
For visitors from the UK, Dublin hasn't suddenly turned into a bargain option, although there are some decent deals to be had. When we had to change a booking at the last minute at The Clarence hotel, they couldn't have been more helpful.
Ireland wants to rebuild its economy on firm foundations, and tourism and the arts are cornerstones. Dublin seems gentler and friendlier than it has for years. Back on the agenda is that winning combination of culture and 'craic' that makes it a wonderful weekend destination.
