RB: Speaking of Titanic, you have these two billion-dollar movies that on the surface seem really different. What are the commonalities that made them both such huge blockbusters?
JC: You know, that's a really good question, and it's one I'm surprised I haven't been asked because I've been asking it of myself. Obviously, these two movies are working the same way, in kind of a global consciousness. So what do they really have in common? I think it's the depth of emotion. I mean there may be aspects of the storytelling—that you're going on a journey and you're in the shoes of someone that you care about. In the first case, it was Rose because you go on her journey and then you meet Jack. In this film, you go on Jake's journey and then you meet Neytiri—you don't meet Neytiri until half an hour into the film. I think it's the depth of the emotion and a sense of the reality of the experience, like this is really happening somehow. And also, for a film to work on that scale, in terms of revenue worldwide—I was talking about this yesterday with my co-producer Jon Landau—it has to work for people of all ages. It has to be for kids [and] it has to be for teenagers, and usually that's two totally separate things. When you make a movie for kids, the teenagers stay away; when you make a movie for teenagers, it's too rough for the kids. Something that's for teenagers doesn't usually work for 20- and 30-somethings, and older people don't even go to the movies. Whereas with both of these films you have an 8-year-old that could go to the movies with his grandparents, so the age thing is important. The other thing is that it has to play equally to men and women. I think that's also tricky, because as a group—not as individuals; individuals are all different—women like different things then men do. And so to give both genders something that they can feel strongly about is also tricky, but you have to do it. And it has to play in different culture and language groups. Titanic obviously did that, and Avatar does that. So it has those things in common even though the stories are very different. Advertisement

Our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is created from the finest lots of each vintage from our Napa Valley vineyards, each with varied growing conditions, in American's finest wine region. Selected for their intensity of flavor and varietal concentration, the individual lots are kept separate and then blended before barrel aging. The goal is to craft a wine that symbolizes the integrity and quality of our winery. Dark ruby in color with aromas of sweet toasty oak, elegant black plum and briar fruit layered with cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa and cedar. The flavors are well balanced, with toasty vanilla oak followed by a soft tannin finish, an elegance of structure that will cellar well. A perfect wine for roast beef dishes and savory cheeses.
Sterling Vineyards was born in the 1960s, a time when creativity and entrepreneurial spirit abounded, especially in California. In 1964, Peter Newton, once a paper broker in England, purchased 70 acres of land in Calistoga and became a Napa Valley winemaker. He planted grapes others did not, bottled varietals others did not, and built a dramatic winery with an aerial tramway. His...Read More About Sterling
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

No, it wasn't an April Fool's curtain-raiser. Watching the "very special" musical episode of Grey's Anatomy, I was reminded of the even more "very special" live episode of ER back at its height in 1997. My reaction now is as it was then: Take a bow, everyone, and promise never to do it again. The episode itself, a classic Grey's multi-hankie trauma-rama, would have worked just as well (if not better) without the distracting gimmick, dramatizing the frenzied aftermath of pregnant Callie's grievous car injury and coma as the staff of "Seattle Grace Mercy Death" (Alex's inspired new nickname) scrambles and argues at length, and sometimes in song, about how to save her and the baby, which is delivered alarmingly premature — and thankfully does not burst into an aria... read more
To hear Timothy Olyphant tell it, playing speak-softly-and-carry-a-big-Glock Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens on Justified is like shooting fish in a proverbial barrel. "I hesitate to say this, but I find the acting to be a piece of cake," he confesses. "Good writing is always pretty easy to do. Bad writing is hard to act, hard to memorize, hard to figure out what the f--- you're doing. When it's well written, it gives you a lot of room to play."
It's clear to the nearly four million Oly-fans who tune in to FX's adaptation of crime-novel mastermind Elmore Leonard's work each week that everybody involved is having a blast. "Elmore doesn't know how to write anything that's not cool," Olyphant raves of the Get Shorty/Be Cool/Out of Sight author. "When it really cooks, it's just a great job."

Top Resume Blunders: How Not To Get Hired
NEW YORK (MainStreet) You thought writing your resume in crayon would show your creativity, sense of independence and spontaneity. Oh yeah, it probably did. It just didn't land you the job. Ask a hiring manager what they've seen cross their desk or computer screen and you may be surprised by the results. Job seekers, beware. Here's how not to get a job, according to 475 hiring managers, HR professionals and 471 workers across various industries in a study for CareerBuilder.ca.
These are real-life resume blunders:
- A four-page resume detailing every position and volunteer job a person has ever had since he was 12
- A resume etched into a wooden cutting board
- Resume delivered in a balloon
- Each line had one bold word that formed a "hidden" message about how great the applicant would be for the position
- Resume came in the form of a candy-gram
- Many small teddy bears and daisies adorned the edges of the pink paper
- An application made online by an employee that had been fired
- Scrawled in pencil on butcher's paper
- Singing telegram
- Candidate revealed that he spent time in jail for assaulting a prior boss
- Listed "Have flown on a corporate jet" as a notable achievement
- Listed "Worked with my dad building things. Worked with my mum cleaning the house," as past experience
There are some blunders that can automatically send your resume on an express ride to the round file. The most common mistakes include:

The Unseen Side of Epilepsy
Morrell says in one recent case, an epileptic who had been working a cash register was let go because her employer feared if she had a seizure, thieves would have access to an open drawer. This occurred despite the fact that the worker got a one-minute "aura," or warning sensation, before the seizure kicked in -- giving her plenty of time to shut the drawer and get to a back room.
"For many epileptics, getting a job is very difficult," says Siegel. "One client I had lost a day care job because they were afraid she'd drop a baby. So one of the big things that comes up is vocation. What am I going to do now?"
And the truth is, epileptics can't do just anything -- even if they wanted to. Aside from the obvious "high-wire" occupations -- such as pilot, truck driver, and steel girder worker -- some epileptics have to avoid situations in which they might be under a lot of stress, since stress can trigger a seizure. Drugs help keep seizures under control, but they can still happen -- and with sometimes embarrassing results. Carmen says epileptics who suffer "generalized" seizures, involving the entire brain, may not only flail about, but also lose control of their bladder and bowel.
Morrell says the best course of action for co-workers of a seizing epileptic is to move away objects that might cause harm if hit or knocked down, and to not create a scene. She says it's upsetting when epileptics awaken from a seizure to find the entire office jumping around.
As for a common myth: "You cannot swallow your tongue," she says -- so don't try to prevent that from happening. "In fact, the best action is to put absolutely nothing in an individual's mouth." Just lay the person on his or her side, keep things calm, and do not try to restrain the person in any way. The power of a seizure is such that restraints could cause injury.
And even though epilepsy may sometimes cause complications, Siegel stresses perspective for all concerned, especially young epileptics. "There's so much of life before you not affected by seizures. It's a challenge to find what is out there for you that can provide you with pleasure and direction."

Excellent professors like Dr. Amy Utt-Rickard will be able to maximize interaction with students in the new facility. |
Both an alumnus and a teacher, Dr. Rose explains how a new facility will help him inspire students at Union College.
Dr. Smith, Union College's former president, shares how the decision was made to build a new science and math facility, and what it will mean for our students and our future.
Janna Buttrick, a junior at Union College, will make a remarkable trek from Lincoln, Neb., to her home in Tampa, Fla., over Christmas break. The grueling 1500-plus mile trip won't be just for pleasure or to test the limitations of her own body—she will fight traffic on the highway to raise funds to fight a

Sim-Man 3G, the latest in patient simulator technology, has become the core element of Union College's new medical simulation laboratory for nursing, physician
Art is a commodity. Young girls are not. Union College's Peace and Social Justice Club, in conjunction with Union's chapter of Amnesty International, invites the Lincoln community to help put an end to slavery by buying art on Sunday, Dec. 6 from 1-3 p.m. Held in the lobby of Engel Hall on the Union College campus, the Tiny Hands, Big Hearts sale will benefit Tiny Hands International, a Lincoln-based organization dedicated to stopping human trafficking.
The students were inspired to support Tiny Hands after representatives spoke about the organization's mission to help enslaved girls during a chapel service at the college. Amanda Clark, president of the Peace and Social Justice club, said seeing photos of just a few of the thousands of little girls sold to brothels each year made the cause personal.
Special thanksBoutiques:
Boutique Designers:
When eight students in Union College's Event Planning class started brainstorming about their class project, they found they were passionate about two things: the BackPack Program and fashion. The combination of these interests will culminate in Fashion for Food, a benefit fashion show featuring designers and boutiques from Lincoln and Omaha on Sunday, December 6 at 7:00 p.m. at Campus Life North (map).
Every year an average of 572,032 women and 48,983 men experience domestic violence at the hands of an intimate partner. And every year, between 2,000 and 4,000 of those men and women will die from the injuries they receive at the hands of a loved one.
To represent the lives lost due to intimate partner domestic violence, 2,000 illuminated bags will outline the Union College campus on Oct. 8, each flicker telling a story's tragic end. The process of placing the bags and lighting the candles will begin at 4 p.m. The commemorative service will begin at 7 p.m. on the Tribute Terrace outside the Ortner Center.
Although Union's Social Work Club plans the event, it is implemented with the help of many student and community hands. Preparation will begin three days prior to the event, as volunteers scoop sand into the 2,000 bags and place a small candle in the center.
This will be the second year that Union College has used the luminary event to "shine light on a dark issue" and promote the Friendship Home's annual Safe Quarters drive that will take place Sunday, Oct. 11. Union is a hosting site for the drive, during which more than 1,500 volunteers go door-to-door, collecting spare change and other financial contributions. The Friendship Home uses the donations to help battered women and their children rebuild their lives, free from violence.
Can $80 change a life? The McClelland Art Gallery is displaying pictures from the overseas humanitarian project Union College participated in over the summer. Running through Oct. 10, the display depicts the impact $80 can make—the cost of teaching someone to read. An individual's education can change the future of entire families.

Student Body: There is such a huge array of students but they're all pretty awesome.

Student Body: Everyone has been very kind and helpful

Student Body: We are accepting of ever ethnicity, age, religion and sexual preference. We are trying to help the homeless that attend school by having a food pantry with fruits and vegetables. we have clubs that express many different sexual orientations.

Reise - For Adventure on the Trans America Trail

At our lunch stop in Bell Buckle TN. This was a very nice place to stop. We stopped in at the local coffee shop to do some posting and got ice cream at the ice cream parlor.
Then I got a broken weld fixed at a local repair shop.
As we got back on the trail we came across a creek crossing without water. Shortly after we stopped, Redneck Kenobi and his apprentice Jim-Bob Skywalker stopped by to talk with us. We didn't stay long as the temperature was around 104 degrees in the sun.
The rest of the day brought us many of these signs. Oh joy!
And then we past this nice little track and really wished we had some lighter bikes and more time.
Finally we arrived at David Crockett State Park in Lawrenceburg, TN. Another very nice State Park.
The next morning we were up with the sun and ready to go.
A few miles in and we cross through our first creek crossing with water.
By mid morning we approached the second crossing. This one was slippery and didn't end so well for Travis.
No injuries or damage, the spill was "refreshing."
The next water crossing we took a bit more cautiously.
We then came upon the Tennessee River and got to see some houses being built on stilts at the 100 year flood line...and then laid down to rest.
And shortly after lunch, we came across this house being built in the hills.
The trail ended for us at Big Hill Pond State Park on the TN/MS border. We soon found out that they had no grass in the camping areas, but as it was vacant except for us, we pitch our tents on the grass in front of the shower house.
The lake was very beautiful.
A nice end to Tennessee.
What is it here that tempts the night to stab the day and kill the light?

Golf Ball Hit At 140mph
Posted by billydakid1975a on May. 24, 2010
Posted by billydakid1975a on May. 24, 2010
Hey idiot thats not a real golf ball. Try a liquid filled ball like you would find on any cheap ass gas station shelf.
 alright wtf... i see no hitting of the gold ball. But i do see the golf ball hitting something...
 You have issues if you think that is a real Golf ball, Search google for Slow motion Golf ball, the ball deforms a little bit but it doesn't get flattened.
i suppose it looks real but damn...i wud have never guessed that wud happen. i wud have thought the ball wud just shatter if it got hit THAT hard. hmm...and yes i do know how to actually spell would
first, thats not a ral golf ball. second, its not even a real golf ball and third, its not a true golf ball as such
This is obviously not a real golfball.... I hope Break staff realize that golf balls are made out of syrlyn and urethane not rubber.....
Calling fake to this shows an obvious lake of intelligence. I have performed test very similar to this myself. It is as real as it gets. Stop trolling fool!!
It's because the ball is hitting the surface harder and faster than the other videos. *smh* white people...........
And people who are too lazy and illiterate to spell a word correctly are f#*king idiots.
jesus people ... i can understand a typo ... but the word is "would" ... "i would have never guessed that would have happened." ... yes... it's typing 5 letters as opposed to 3 ...
rubber is not a proper material description. Urethane can be rigid or very soft, like rubber. A golf ball depends on a fair amount of compression in order to function. Most of it is made by tightly wound urethane, silicone or latex rubber.
You obviously keep seeking out the places where you can insult people, get into fights (forum fights) and then do your best to get eveybody that disagrees with your special life philosophy banned. You get a kick out of it, so don't complain about it. I have yet to see you attemt any intelligent discussions anywhere. But telling others what to think and insulting other people opinions is something I see you do all the time.
Your mom shows an obvious LAKE of intelligence. Spell Check: Making people sound retarded since '95.
Golf ball is very hard and heavy, something like billiard ball but smaller. Do you believe that billiard ball get deformed like that ??? If you do than you don't know anything about physics.

Forget the champagne, when Michael Strahan found out he was the new host of "Live! With Kelly" it was all about the Red Stripe ... because he was vacationing in Jamaica like a champ and TMZ got the photo.
The former NFL star was actually chillin in the Caribbean with his smokin' hot fiancée, Nicole Murphy, when he got the phone call of the decade ... that he was chosen to join Kelly Ripa as her new co-host.
Sources close to the show tell us, Strahan was through the roof excited when he found out the stellar news and it made his Jamaican get-away that much better.
We're told he and his fiancée celebrated the gig by simply relaxing on the beach and taking in the amazing sites.
Like that backside, for one.
Lets hope that this gap toothed dumb jock does better than his loser ex teammate Tiki Barber did on TV
Strahan?????? puh-leeeeze !.......i'll say it will be "dumped" by february....if there IS a february ;)
Nicole Murphy has a phenomenal body! She's 40 years old and gave birth to five children. I guarantee you that the people on this site calling her "fat" would be great candidates for The Biggest Loser. Put down the Haagen Dazs and clean your bifocals!
I only know Nicole from her recent gig on the Ex Wives show. She is my favorite on this show along with R Kelly's ex. Now she is over the top. But she is not a BBW type over the top. She is fun and out of the box. Now, back to Nicole... This story is about Michael but TMZ posts a butt shot of his fiance and now she is the focus. Nicole is fit and fine! So, this is not a problem, just not appropriate to the story. TMZ, which I love, is leaning into the idea of objectifying women as sex objects. more and more. There's a line and TMZ walks it regularly these days.

Straight Talk - Where you live matters
June 23, 2011
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Where you live matters.
And if you are fortunate enough to live in Collier County, chances are you're in a lot better shape than most people.
According to a new study from researchers at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and the Imperial College London, women living in Collier County have the longest life expectancy in the United States—86 years—second in the world only to Japan. Men have the second-longest life expectancy in the U.S.—80.2 years—which lags only Fairfax County, Virginia by 0.9 years.
Life expectancy, defined in an article published in
Population Health Metrics,
is how long someone born in the U.S. in 2007 would be expected to live compared with those born decades earlier. The statistical analysis and full article are available at
It's no secret what cuts life short. According to the authors, the most preventable determiners of shorter life expectancy include obesity, diet, smoking, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, alcohol, and elevated fats in the blood. The authors note that availability of care and insurance coverage also are significant contributors to good health, loosely correlated with standards of living and educational levels. And of course, access to quality health care is essential.
The University of Washington statistical study confirms another recent accolade for our County. As reported a few months ago, for the second year in a row, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored study by the University of Wisconsin's Population Health Institute ranked Collier County the healthiest overall of the 67 counties in Florida. The rankings of health outcomes, which account for 50% of the metrics and are based on statistics before 2007, are measured as the combination of mortality (death rate) and morbidity (sickness). In other words, in healthiness, we're number one!
Digging deeper into the Collier numbers, we find that poor physical and mental health days have decreased modestly over the past year, while the number of low birth weight infants has increased minimally, which isn't good. Health factors such as smoking and obesity remain unchanged, while sexually transmitted diseases have increased. Teen birth rate is minimally lower, but single parent households have increased markedly. Violent crime and motor vehicle death rates are both moving in the right direction. Unemployment and children living in poverty continue to plague us locally, a tragedy in a community like ours with abundant resources. On the other hand, high school graduation rates are up, with 47% of students going on to higher education.
So as good as our ranking is, we still have much to do to ensure the health of our community. Toward that end, the Collier County Health Department has created "Sustaining Excellence," a consortium of social service, public, not-for-profit and for-profit institutions, focused on opportunity areas. We have already convened in our downtown Telford Auditorium to discuss ways to improve the health of all in our community.
Local access to great health care and other resources has a real impact. Representing one of Collier County's leading medical institutions makes me proud and humble to be a part of a healthcare community which has again been shown to make a difference.
"Live long and live well in Collier County"
could well be our community's banner.
Allen S. Weiss, M.D., President and CEO

He said the problem was unrelated to a switch failure on 27 March which also brought down AOL Instant Messenger for a short while. AOL IM users with older versions of the free software continued to have problems for days afterward.
A source at the company, however, speculated that unusual solar flare activity could have caused the disruption. Scientists recorded some of the most intense solar flare activity in the sun's 11-year cycle Monday, and report that the activity can affect radio transmitters and, in rare cases, ground equipment.
That even a short outage would be quickly noticed speaks to the depth of the service's market penetration. AOL claims its 25 million instant messaging users send 656 million messages each day. AOL has approximately twice as many instant messaging subscribers as either of its nearest competitors -- Microsoft and Yahoo.
"This has a lot more business impact than businesses realise," said David Smith, vice president for Internet strategy at Gartner Group. "There are more people using it ... even though there are often policies against it." Companies often consider the instant message system a security breach, he said -- for example, messages aren't encrypted. Smith notes, however, that secure alternatives suitable for business communication have not been sufficiently developed.
"There are the beginnings of them ... Microsoft Exchange 2000 has instant messaging built into it, and a lot of people don't realise it," he said. "But I haven't heard of enough people using it to tell if it works as an instant messaging platform for business."
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A reader sends in this post to inform me that USC baseball coach Chad Kreuter is currently serving as technical adviser to the Brad Pitt-film, "Moneyball," which is based on the Oakland A's. Kreuter also plays Rick Peterson, the Oakland A's pitching coach.
He's been impersonating a manager at USC for the past few years so this should be easy for him.

WCBM, Baltimore Extends Talk Host Tom Marr's Contract Through 2017. Baltimore talk radio institution Tom Marr will be heard on WCBM through 2017 as the station's vice president, Nick Mangione. Jr., announces the station extends his no-cut contract for another four years. The official announcement was made June 24 by WCBM program director and operations manager Sean Casey at the start of Marr's show that day. Mangione, Jr. states, "I am delighted we have reached the agreement on the extension. To quote my late father, Tom is still at the top of his game both as a broadcaster in general and talk show host in particular. We are delighted he will be on the air until 2017 with WCBM and he just may decide to stay longer. There will always be room for him in the WCBM family. Tom has a good sense for the business. As an example, he is the first one to suggest that we add both Sean Hannity and Mark Levin to our lineup. Tom has a large following within the reach of our 50 thousand watt transmitter and is building a solid national and international following on WCBM's worldwide reach via the internet." Marr, who began his career as a high school sports broadcaster on WWDC-AM, Washington, DC in 1960, says, "I am deeply honored that Nick and the Mangione Family Enterprises agreed to the extension. I look forward to the challenges ahead for talk radio and its increasing role in the media especially in view of our relationship with the digital world."
WBZ-AM, Boston Names Jen Brien Overnight Talk Host. After the retirement of Steve LeVeille last year, the station has been featuring a number of talk radio personalities in the overnight slot. Now, program director Peter Casey announces Jennifer "Jen" Brien is named to the permanent position. The station says the program "will be a mix of pop culture, current events, politics, and the comings and goings of people in New England." In addition to WBZ-AM's monster signal that penetrates the entire East Coast at that time of night, the show can be heard on CBS Radio's Radio.com. Brien joined WBZ from Entercom's crosstown news/talk WRKO where she hosted a daily program. She has also hosted shows on WPRO and WHJJ in Providence, and WCOD and WXTK on Cape Cod. Before beginning her career in radio, Brien spent more than five years as a soldier in the United States Army where she was selected for the prestigious "Soldier of the Year" award.
SiriusXM Cancels Long-Running Alex Bennett Show. One of modern talk radio's true pioneers, Alex Bennett, has reportedly been let go "without cause" from SiriusXM Satellite Radio's "Sirius Left" channel where he was doing the daily 7:00 am to 10:00 am program. Bennett has been with Sirius for almost a decade and, according to insiders close to the host, was caught by surprise and is "distraught" over what transpired. Bennett has had a colorful, unique on-air career that goes back to the late-1960s when he was the lone talk show host on the old WMCA, New York when it was still the "Home of the Good Guys." He subsequently went on to do both rock music and talk broadcasting serving as one of the original prototypes for the pop culture-oriented (some call it "shock jock") and "progressive" genres of modern day talk radio. Between WMCA and Sirius, he served in ground-breaking stints at such great stations as WPLJ in New York and KMEL, KITS ("Live 105″) and KQAK ("The Quake") in San Francisco. At press time, it is not clear if this was a cost-cutting move on the part of Sirius or indicative of a re-direction in programming. Bennett is still on the air and is reportedly doing his final program for the satellite radio service this Friday. TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison states, "In my opinion Alex Bennett is one of the most important talents ever to grace a microphone during my lifetime. His show on WMCA — in which he did extremely progressive talk about the issues of the day such as the Vietnam War – was on a station that was otherwise a hip music station. In the midst of all the fun, cool hipness of the rock 'n' roll and the zany DJs of that fabulous station, Bennett was fearlessly talking to the kids about extremely important controversial issues. That show served as the original inspiration for me to launch an issues-oriented talk show ("Harrison's Mic") five years later on rocker KMET in Los Angeles and my own talk career that paralleled my music radio work. If I had not heard Alex Bennett in 1969, there might not have ever been a TALKERS magazine."
HOLLAND COOKE: The Future of AM/FM in the Car. Radio consultant Holland Cooke reports from the Consumer Electronic Association's Connected Car Conference in New York City and her says that the bottom line after "four-and-a-half-hours of thoughtful discussion, research, and prognostication by automotive, electronics, and media thinkers: Whatever the dashboard is about to morph into matters less to AM/FM radio than what's already happened." Cooke writes that people who matter have already connected their media to the car speakers and offers some thoughts about what radio programmers can do to stand out from the digital competition. Read his analysis here.
SummitMedia to Pull the Plug on Sports Talk In Birmingham. SummitMedia announces it will drop the sports talk format on WZNN, Birmingham "97.3 The Zone" and flip to a different – most likely music – format. SummitMedia EVP and COO David DuBose tells the Birmingham News, "We have been evaluating the sports format in light of multiple factors, including [Paul] Finebaum's placement. After nearly two years, it became clear the market did not support two competing sports stations. "Therefore, we have determined we should focus on other format opportunities." SummitMedia purchased the Birmingham cluster from Cox Media Group earlier this year. The station was flipped to sports in August of 2011 when Cox had its eye on building the station around mega-successful Southeast sports personality Paul Finebaum by bringing him over from Cumulus Media's crosstown sports WJOX. Finebaum, who'd had legal squabbles with WJOX and wanted out of that relationship, ended up working out his contract there, sat out a non-compete and will begin a new sports talk radio venture with ESPN based out of Charlotte. It's believed he will return to WJOX via ESPN syndication when the new program debuts later this summer.
Bonneville Seattle Brings Unique Talk to MyNorthwest.com. The Bonneville Seattle cluster that includes news/talk KIRO-FM, sports KIRO-AM and talk KTTH is beginning a series of unique audio programs to the web venture it calls MyNorthwest.com. Dubbed "MyNorthwest Chats," the weekly, one-hour programs will stream on Wednesday's from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm beginning with today's chat featuring nationally acclaimed restaurateur Tom Douglas. MyNorthwest.com editor Stephanie Klein says, "We're excited to have the opportunity to connect our readers directly to the experts and start an inspiring dialogue that makes an impact. We want the conversation to spark a chain of discussion in our readers' lives." Other chats lined up for July include talk show host Michael Medved and Seattle Mariners insider Shannon Drayer.
Programming Changes at WGN, Chicago; Turi Ryder to Exit. Chicago radio pro Turi Ryder has been in the late night slot at Tribune's WGN, Chicago since the beginning of this year but now the company says it's going in a different direction and will end her program. Ryder will get a chance to say goodbye to her WGN listeners as she'll work this evening and Thursday before wrapping things up there. The station has not announced what will air in the time slot. Ryder also hosts "America Weekend" for Envision Radio Networks.
Cumulus Media's WPRO-AM, Providence Tackles Immigration Issue with Live Debate. News/talk WPRO-AM's Tara Granahan is moderating a debate that will take place today at the Providence Marriott from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm called, "Green Light on Green Cards," featuring a panel of experts from each side of the illegal immigration issue. The discussion will be streamed live online at the station's 630wpro.com and will be the center piece of a "WPRO Special Report" scheduled to air during the "WPRO Morning News with Gene Valicenti" the week of July 1. The debate features two immigration lawyers, a state representative, a member of the local clergy and the head of an illegal immigration enforcement organization. The stations states, "The debate will address the issues that have emerged from illegal immigration including; licenses for illegal immigrants, how immigration effects the Rhode Island economy, and potential solutions moving forward."
TeleSouth Communications to Buy WOSM, Ocean Springs, Mississippi. TeleSouth operates the Mississippi talk radio network known as "SuperTalk Mississippi" and the purchase of WOSM, Ocean Springs (103.1 FM) – between Biloxi and Pascagoula on the Gulf Coast – will be added to that network. The company states, "The addition of WOSM to the network will give coast listeners the best choice in Mississippi programming with 'The Gallo Radio Show,' 'The JT Show' and 'Head to Head with Matt Wyatt and Richard Cross,' all homegrown programs that keep a watch on state government, entertainment, sports, unique happenings in Mississippi, with a local take on national issues." In addition to Mississippi-based programs, 'SuperTalk' is also home to Cumulus Media Networks' Mike Huckabee and Compass Media Networks' Lars Larson and Todd Schnitt. WOSM is owned and operated by Charles Cooper and airs Christian programming. TeleSouth CEO Steve Davenport states, "We are excited about growing the 'SuperTalk Network' with the addition of WOSM. Mr. Cooper has worked hard for years building an audience loyal to traditional family values. We are confident that WOSM listeners will hear those values in the programs featured each day on 'SuperTalk.'" Long-time coast talk show host and programmer Kipp Greggory will serve as general manager of WOSM.
CHQR, Calgary Talk Host Dave Rutherford to End Daily Show. Canadian talk show host Dave Rutherford will wrap a 21-year career hosting a daily talk show at CHQR, Calgary after his last show on July 26. The conservative personality and pedigreed newsman tells the Edmonton Journal he believes the broadcast news industry is dumbing down and there may be no place for a broadcaster like him. "I don't think there's the desire to ask the next question, maybe to ask any questions. But I sense that the whole industry, the broadcast news business, television and radio, is dumbing down."
The End of the Line for CNN Radio. The service was a shell of its former self after Dial Global ended its distribution of the news product and replaced it with NBC News Radio last year, effectively becoming a digital-only product. Now, CNN states that after completing "a review of its radio business," it "has made the decision to cease production of CNN Radio podcasts, effective immediately." CNN has indicated that some of the staff will be relocated to positions elsewhere in the company.
Allen Hunt to End WSB, Atlanta Program. Christian broadcaster Allen Hunt announces he'll end his Sunday evening program that has aired on WSB, Atlanta since its inception after the June 30 broadcast. Hunt says he was approached by Cox Media to move the time of his program and he decided that due to his busy schedule with the Dynamic Catholic Institute and the requested change, he decided it would be better to end the show. Hunt built the program at WSB and, for a couple of years, put the show into national syndication.

Fox Sports Radio Network nationally syndicated host Jay Mohr's flagship station, "AM570 FOX Sports LA" (KLAC, Los Angeles) surprised Mohr with a mobile billboard promoting his program.

Harsh Reality of Today's Radio Business Forces Clear Channel's Major "Reduction in Force." This latest round of firings is focused on Clear Channel's small and medium markets and is affecting primarily on-air and programming staff. Internally, Clear Channel stations are broken down into three categories: the majors, the mids and the small markets – the latter sometimes referred to by insiders humorously as the stations that are for sale. But in this economy those small stations – many of which were purchased in the late 1990s as the then-Randy Michaels-led radio group was buying stations at an astounding pace – are for all intents and purposes under water. The company analyzed each station in an hour-by-hour fashion to determine how much it costs to program and execute the product versus how much it is making. Programs and hosts whose shows are in the black are likely to be retained; those in the red are those about whom you are reading today. The company is not describing this strategy as cost cutting but leveraging the quality programming it owns and distributing it to the small – or regional – markets. The reality is that Clear Channel has a lot of debt it must pay off and – not unlike the homeowner who bought before the housing bubble burst and owes more than his house is worth – must make drastic cuts and hope that it can continue to engage listeners and serve advertisers with "Premium Choice" programming from afar and managers doing more jobs within the same work day. This situation is unique to neither Clear Channel nor the radio business. The following list of people working in news or at talk stations for CC are reported to have been let go. This list is not complete and doesn't include those from music-formatted stations. Reports indicate several hundred employees will be out when all is said and done. The list: KFAB, Omaha PM drive host Tom Becka; Clear Channel Hudson Valley news director Cameron Hendrix; WERC, Birmingham, Alabama news director Mark Evans; WHAM, Rochester news anchor Beth Adams; WSYR-AM/FM, Syracuse talk host Jim Reith; KWTX, Waco, Texas PD and morning host Shane Warner; WJBO, Baton Rouge, Louisiana mid-morning talk host Clarence Buggs; and WGY and WOFX, Albany assistant PD Steve Bleznyk.
Cumulus Los Angeles Cuts Include Legendary Jock Jim Ladd. So far the cuts at Cumulus' Los Angeles stations have not affected any air talent at news/talk KABC. Production directors at both KABC and KLOS-FM – Howard Hoffman and Mike Sherry, respectively – are out as is KLOS-FM program director Bob Buchmann. But Southern California radio fans are shocked to find legendary jock Jim Ladd – ironically, the subject of Tom Petty's "The Last DJ" – has been sacked. The 63-year-old Ladd received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005.
Lionel Expands Role at New York's WPIX-TV. What began as his doing a short form commentary running once per day on the evening news has expanded to multiple roles and appearances for the iconoclastic talk radio veteran and podcasting pioneer on the Tribune Company-owned Channel 11 in the Big Apple. Lionel has just debuted his weekday "5@5" segment on the daily newscast in addition to being featured on PIX 11 seven nights a week with fresh video commentary on its 10:00 pm newscast. Lionel, an ex-prosecutor and criminal defense trial lawyer, has also inaugurated his "Lionel's Law School" segment. Plus, he appears weekly as PIX 11's resident "News Decoder" on its Monday morning news broadcast and at pix11.com. Lionel's commentaries are also broadcast nationally through Tribune Company's affiliates including KPLR 11 in St. Louis. Lionel, a regular TALKERS columnist, has gained national attention as a talk "media station" groundbreaker with his lionelmedia.com.
Rusty Humphries Named National Radio Spokesman for Vietnam Memorial Effort. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is spearheading a campaign to build a multi-media education center adjacent to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. In addition to his duties as national radio spokesman, Talk Radio Network host Rusty Humphries is leading the "Veterans Day Challenge" to raise funds for the center. He will also serve as emcee at a gala benefit at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC on November 11 that will feature actor Tom Selleck. Humphries' father died in Vietnam in 1969 when Rusty was just three years old. Humphries says, "Every time I'm in Washington, I visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, gaze up at my father's name on Panel 34W, Line 84, and wish that I'd have gotten to know the man whose name appears there, my father. The Education Center at the Wall will provide a living memorial to these heroes – not just the men and women like my dad whose names appear on the Wall, but all veterans, from Bunker Hill to the present day."
Tom Marr's Contract at WCBM Extended Again. Veteran talk show host Tom Marr of WCBM, Baltimore has been given another extension of his unique contract until 2015. Marr first signed a no-cut deal with the independently owned heritage station in September of 1977. It was then extended until 2009. Marr reached an agreement on July 3, 2008 with the late owner of WCBM, Nick Mangione, Sr., to extend through 2012. Now Marr has signed an extension with WCMB president Mary C. Mangione that will run until 2015. Upon signing the deal, WCBM VP Nick Mangione, Jr. tells TALKERS, "Ownership is very pleased to have Tom's commitment to remain on WCBM's team. Tom performs a public service that is informative, beneficial, and entertaining for our listeners." Marr comments, "I am delighted that my career will end with WCBM and the Mangione Family Enterprises." Pictured here at the signing ceremony are: WCBM VP Nick Mangione, Jr. (standing); seated (l-r) are Mangione Family Enterprise attorney Joe LaVerghetta, Mangione Family Enterprise president Mary Mangione, and host Tom Marr.
Clear Channel Adds FM Simulcast to WVOC, Columbia, South Carolina. The victim this time is urban WXBT-FM at 100.1 and, of course, the entire staff of the music station as CC gives news/talk WVOC an FM presence.
Ric Edelman's "Truth About Money" Public TV Show Heads into Season Two. Author, broadcaster and financial advisor Ric Edelman will produce a second season of his public TV show that shares the same name as his nationally syndicated talk radio show – "The Truth About Money with Ric Edelman." Season one hit public TV stations across the country earlier this spring and season two will be ready for air in April of next year. Executive producer Russ Hodge says, "Public Television executives and viewers around the country were so taken with the solid financial guidance they received from Ric, they wholeheartedly endorsed the notion of our coming back for another season. It's no secret Ric is recognized as one of America's top financial advisors, and in these uncertain economic times, viewers gravitate to his expertise and know-how."
USRN Offers Kim Iversen Show in New Format. "Your Time with Kim Iversen" has been available in syndication via United Stations Radio Networks talk-intensive music show for Hot AC stations since 2007. Now, after partnering with Entercom – the company that created the show – to bring it into wider syndication earlier this year, USRN announces that show is available as a live feed or a "build your own show" format. Beginning November 13, the live feed will be a two-hour, personality-driven talk show airing live from 10:00 pm to 12:00 midnight ET. Stations wishing to continue airing music in the show can use the show segments around music to build a five-hour program. USRN EVP of programming Andy Denemark says, "Kim is an amazing talent, but we found that programmers had varied opinions on how they wanted her show to air. Some wanted strictly a talk block, others were happy with the Hot AC show and still others wanted her content mixed with CHR or alternative music. Now, every affiliate gets their wish!"
ABC Digital Clients Now Get News from ABC Sports. Stations subscribing to ABC Digital for news feeds for their websites now can get sports content from ABC Sports, according to ABC News Radio VP/GM Steve Jones. "By adding sports headlines to our lineup of ABC Digital choices, we're enhancing our radio customers' websites at no additional cost to them. Several of our partners have expressed an interest in adding a recognized sports brand and we're pleased to make ABC Sports – a name steeped in tradition – a new category they can add to their station's website with the simple click of a button." ABC Digital service was recently launched by ABC News Radio and Cumulus Media Networks. The ready-to-post online content is produced and updated 24 hours a day and includes breaking news, exclusive stories, photos and graphics. Stations also have the option to brand the service locally, monetizing the content through local sponsorships.
Barb Yoder Moves into GM Seat at Salem Communications' Tampa Cluster. A series of management promotions at Salem Communications means a promotion for Tampa and Sarasota cluster general sales manager Barb Yoder and an open GSM post at the stations. Yoder moves into the GM post as former GM Chris Gould moves to the corporate level in the vice president of program development position based in Camarillo, California.

Affiliate Relations Pro Rich Rapiti Victim of Dial Global-Westwood One Merger. New York-based affiliate relations pro Rich Rapiti lost his position as part of the consolidation of Dial Global and Westwood One. He's available for his next challenge and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 973-809-3049.
Former Cap Cities/ABC COO Dan Burke Passes Away at 82. Dan Burke and partner Tom Murphy are credited with building Cap Cities into a major broadcasting force and buying ABC to create Cap Cities/ABC. The two ran the company for a decade before selling it to Disney in 1996. Salem Radio Network VP of news/talk programming Tom Tradup remembers working for Burke when he was GM of WLS, Chicago. "I will always remember Burke's steely eyes and his tough questioning (especially at this time of the year during budgeting!) as we s-l-o-w-l-y turned WLS from the 23rd station in Chicago and put it on track to become a top-five news/talk giant. He was firm but fair, and if people in Chicago enjoy WLS in 2011…they probably can thank Dan Burke more than anyone else for showing patience and for keeping others within the company from panicking as WLS grew and ultimately prospered in the #3 radio market in America."

Hi. I am NOT god-phone material. I am so lazy and procrastinat-ive that I just don't keep up regular communications with any deities at all. I had a thing with Bast a while back, but I"m a lazy mo-fo. And I'm proud of it. I'm still Pagan and live my life as naturally as possible (except for Taco Bell and the occasional battery-powered indulgence) with the caveat that I'm a hedonist.
Anybody else out there who is okay with being a regular every-day sort of Pagan? No need to be a priest of anything? No need to have direct communication with a deity? Just enjoying the pleasures of natural living and natural worship?
I personally go one step further. I Do Not Truck With Deities. Period. I don't worship, I don't invoke etc. I work with certain ar
I find this encouraging as I have never had an inkling that anything is out there. I might as well be talking to myself.
I spent twenty years as a Pagan without any clear conception of deity, much less a conversation with any. It can be a satisfying

Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Ramos says Eshawn Bonnard died Wednesday at the UC Davis Medical Center.
The Sacramento Bee reports (http://bit.ly/Qpdp09) that the boy's 31-year-old father Robert Bonnard is being held on felony child abuse charges.
Authorities are considering new charges in light of his son's death.
Ramos says that paramedics were told the boy had a seizure when they took him to the hospital last Monday. Officials say that story wasn't consistent with the child's internal injuries.
The boy was in third-grade. A criminal complaint alleges that his father abused him twice with a plastic vacuum attachment.
Information from: The Sacramento Bee, http://www.sacbee.com
